Bryce Zabel: All you can do is trust the gut instincts of people who have done things before to take the pulse of the nation and figure what is going to fit at a particular time.

Rodgers has made several headlines this year, but one specific moment during Week 6 added another page in Rodgers’ legend: After a fourth-quarter touchdown run that essentially sealed the Packers win over Chicago, Rodgers turned to the stands, gazed upon many, many middle fingers and delivered a fairly accurate and declarative statement: “I still own you,” Rodgers shouted to the stands. As Rodgers and the Packers gear up to defend home turf against Justin Fields and the Bears this weekend, Rodgers reinforced that he didn’t regret the comment, but indicated that it wasn’t directed at the Bears....

Manchin recently said that including the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding for most abortions, was “a red line” to him supporting the bill, according to CNN. The senator’s anti-abortion stance puts him at odds with most of the party and especially progressives, who strongly support abortion rights. Manchin declared his hard-line demand that the Hyde Amendment would need to be included in any version of the bill that he would support last week, telling the conservative magazine National Review that the legislation would be “dead on arrival if that’s gone....

In 2020, it’s possible. The ACC announced its full game schedule Thursday, and Notre Dame — a FBS independent — will be eligible to play in the ACC championship game. The Irish will play 10 ACC conference games like every other school in the conference this season. The ACC adopted a plus-one model, which will allow for one game against an opponent from a different conference. The Irish will split television revenue with the other 15 schools, and that includes the money generated from Notre Dame’s TV deal with NBC....
Seven scenarios would have to play out in the Atlantic Division, including the most important: Clemson has to beat Louisville, and Florida State has to beat Clemson. If, after six tiebreakers, the schools are still knotted, the ACC will turn to a ranking from privately contracted SportSource Analytics to determine who has the best “team rating score metric.” The same metric would be applicable in case of a three-way tie in the Coastal Division....
MLB odds: Current Las Vegas baseball lines Atlanta Braves -115 (@ Philadelphia Phillies) David Buchanan vs. Shelby Miller The Braves have now lost four in a row, after being handed a 1-0 defeat by the Phillies Friday night.

Shelby Miller has the edge over David Buchanan, and the Braves are likely to have more successful at bats....
AccuScore has the Warriors as solid 82.9 percent favorites to win, a number that would warrant a -484 money-line price. Not only is that too risky to lay, but it’s not even a value as Vegas books are offering the Warriors at -1000 on the money-line. The spread and total are worth considering though. The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is 108-97. There is nearly a 55 percent chance Sacramento covers a +12 spread....
