Raiders favorite to be Matthew Stafford's next team should Rams trade QB
You'd have to think if the Raiders were to send a first round pick to LA for the 37-year-old, it wouldn't be this year's pick. If only because the sixth overall pick is a steep price for an aging QB likely on his last contract. And the contract he is looking for will be pricey. Then again, what price -- both in terms of draft compensation and contract dollars -- would you pay for a few years of a proven starting QB? It's an intriguing thought.
While the oddsmakers favor Stafford staying in LA, should they move him, the Raiders top the list of potential trade partners. Here is the list of the current odds for what team Stafford will play for in 2025 (via BetUS):
Odds: -200.
Odds: +300.
Odds: +500.
Odds: +600.
Odds: +700.

2025 New England Patriots Odds: Maye, Vrabel Proving Impactful At Books
National Football League 2025 New England Patriots Odds: Maye, Vrabel Proving Impactful At Books Published Aug. 12, 2025 11:26 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Last season, New England was not favored to win a single game. Fast-forward to this season, and oddsmakers have abandoned that trend. The big question is, can second-year quarterback Drake Maye and new head coach Mike Vrabel turn things around and lead the Pats to a winning season? Let's take a look at the odds from FanDuel Sportsbook as of Aug. 11. 2025 Patriots win total odds Over 8.5 wins: +115 (bet $10 to win $21.50 total) Under 8.5 wins: -135 (bet $10 to win $17.41 total) Over 9.5 wins: +190 (bet $10 to win $29 total) Under 9.5 wins: -230 (bet $10 to win $14.35 total) Over 10.5 wins: +340 (bet $10 to win $44 total) Under 10.5 wins: -430 (bet $10 to win $12.33 total) Over 11.5 wins: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total) Under 11.5 wins: -900 (bet $10 to win $11.11 total) For the past two years, the Patriots finished 4-13, and were tabbed as underdogs in every game in 2024. It was the first time the franchise has had back-to-back losing seasons since 1992-93. Not too long ago, New England was claiming the No. 1 seed in the AFC almost every year, right up until 2018. Last season, New England averaged only 17 points per game, ranking 30th in the league, while its defense allowed an average of 24.5 points, 22nd overall. In 2023, the Pats were listed as the favorite in three games, but still ended the year well below .500. Since 2019, New England has failed to qualify for the playoffs every season except for two. Now, with Maye and Vrabel at the helm, plus the third-easiest schedule in the NFL, the Patriots are now favored to win double-digit games. With significant roster improvements, including former All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs and fourth-overall pick Will Campbell, the Patriots are now favored behind only the Bills to win the AFC East (+550) and have odds of +8500 to win the Super Bowl at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Fanatics wants to build a loyalty program for sports, rewarding fans with merchandise, tickets and experiences
Fanatics is launching a new loyalty program, reflecting its continued growth and reach in the sports business industry. The program, called Fanatics ONE, will offer members points for purchases across the company's various businesses, which now include its sports merchandise business, collectibles, and trading cards, as well as casino and sportsbook operations. Members will gain access to things like free shipping and giveaways and will be able to redeem their points on everything from apparel and merchandise to exclusive experiences and game tickets. Tucker Kain, Fanatics' chief strategy and growth officer, said this new loyalty program highlights the company's expansion beyond merchandise, and "the opportunity to bring [it] together from a consumer and experience perspective." Kain said that Fanatics has roughly 10 million people already in its FanCash program, which it previously rewarded to customers who bought merchandise through its ecommerce platform and its app. Fanatics has a vision of building FanCash into "the currency of sport," Kain said, where fans will be able to acquire not just a new jersey or hat, but tickets, athlete meet-and-greets, access to Super Bowl parties, or Fanatics Fest, the company's effort to build a Comic-Con-like event for sports that recently held its second edition. "These are things that sports fans really value and get excited about, and I think our platform is uniquely positioned to do that," Kain said. Part of that speaks to the depth of Fanatics' relationships across the sports industry that it has forged since Michael Rubin founded the company, a three-time CNBC Disruptor 50 company, in 2011. The company has partnerships with nearly every major sports league, including many that hold equity stakes in Fanatics like the NFL, MLB and NHL. It has also struck additional relationships with superstar athletes like LeBron James and Shohei Ohtani. It also speaks to the company's growth as it has expanded beyond merchandise into trading cards, collectibles and sports betting, with Fanatics earning more than $8 billion in revenue in 2024. Still, the bulk of the company's revenue comes from its core merchandise business, and this new loyalty program will look to expose more sports gear shoppers to what Fanatics has been doing in collectibles and betting. Kain said Fanatics is "starting to see the number of cross-platform users scale pretty dramatically," adding that "what we see is that customers that engage in all three are a much more valuable opportunity for us." "I think the power of the platform unlocks here, versus any individual business operating in a silo," he said. From retail and fast food to hotels and airlines, many industries leverage loyalty programs to boost business and shift consumer actions while also rewarding consistent customers with bonuses and one-of-a-kind rewards. But unlike some of those other industries, sports have little of those. While season ticket holders may receive certain discounts or invites to exclusive events, there are no league-wide or sport-specific programs. And there's certainly no cross-sport platform as big as Fanatics. "There has never been a loyalty program that spans sports and fandom," Kain said. "All of us have a different kind of fandom, different passions, different teams and athletes we like, so a program that threads those experiences can separate itself really meaningfully from other great loyalty programs." Kain said Fanatics is already thinking about ways to further expand the program even as it only launches on Tuesday, whether that's creating new and exclusive rewards to the potential for a Fanatics-branded credit card or partnerships with teams and leagues around the loyalty program. "We get excited about the potential to deepen those relationships and ultimately enhance the fan experience across all sports and every kind of fandom," Kain said.

Jason Kelce calls Travis Kelce most 'unique' tight end ever
Travis Kelce is a lot of things: a future Hall of Fame tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, a holder of 12 NFL records, a "New Neights" podcast co-host and, of course, Taylor Swift's boyfriend. In a recent GQ profile of Kelce, his brother, Jason Kelce, added one more identifier to the list. "There will be arguments about him versus Gronk, versus Tony Gonzalez, but I don't think anybody has ever been as unique of a player in that spot," Jason said. To Jason's point, Travis is truly 1-of-1 in several statistical categories. In the Chiefs' two most recent playoff runs, the tight end broke three of legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice's NFL postseason records. He now stands alone as the NFL record-holder for career postseason receptions (172), career postseason 100-yard games (9) and career Super Bowl receptions (35). TRAVIS KELCE: Chiefs TE gushes over Taylor Swift in GQ story: 'We're just two people that are in love' Jason and former Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith talked more about Travis' intelligence and uniqueness as a person and player throughout the article. The elder Kelce brother spoke about a "Travis Moment" from their childhood, when he put together a full Erector set without reading the instructions while Jason and their father, Ed, were still reading them. Smith brought up examples of Travis' ball knowledge from early in the tight end's career, mentioning how he would add his own improvisational tweaks to routes to get open. "Every single pass play, wherever I was going, whatever the concept intended for me to throw, whatever defensive look I was getting, it didn't matter: Travis was open," Smith told GQ. "He was supposed to turn out, but on this one he flipped in, and he was open. He always put his little twist on it, and it worked." Smith pointed to one specific example of Kelce changing a route from a fake shallow cross with a cut back to a real shallow cross with a hesitation step before carrying on when he saw his defender didn't buy the fake. "This is an NFL game!" Smith said. "We had never talked about this! This was not remotely a possibility for him when we installed this play! It turned into a 35-yard gain. This is the brilliance of Kelce."
