Your favorite team will probably screw up the NFL Draft
Your favorite team will probably screw up the NFL Draft This is For The Win's daily newsletter, The Morning Win. Did a friend recommend or forward this to you? If so, subscribe here. Here's Mike Sykes. Good morning, Winners! The day you've all been waiting for has finally arrived. It's NFL draft day, also known as "I hope my team doesn't mess this up" Day. THE ORDER: Here's the complete NFL draft order for all seven rounds For some of you, this is going to be one of the happiest days of the year. Your team will nail it. They'll make the consensus pick that you've seen on the dozens of mock drafts you've crammed into your noggin over the last few weeks as you've tried your best to prepare for this moment. For others? Well, this is going to be the worst. Your team is totally going to blow it. They'll reach for a player they do not need or take the wrong guy. The pick will be mystifying to you and everyone else watching. Don't log onto any of the social apps if this happens to you. You'll be sad, but we'll all be laughing. This has been your existence for the last few years, Cowboys fans. OUR FINAL MOCK: Here's a look at our lastest mock draft from Christian D'Andrea The beautiful part about all this is that, honestly, it's all a crap shoot. Nobody knows how today will pan out. We all have our ideas, sure. And the executives that are paid to make decisions for these teams also have their strongly informed opinions. But none of us will know how this will work until it does or doesn't. Who could've seen Bo Nix working out for the Broncos at No. 12 last season or Quinyon Mitchell becoming one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in a single season for the Eagles? On the other hand, we all thought Marvin Harrison Jr. would be one of the best receivers in the NFL last year when the Cardinals picked him at No. 4 overall. But he only had two games with over 100 yards receiving for Arizona last season. That doesn't mean he won't eventually be a great player, but he certainly didn't seem to be the NFL-ready product everyone thought he'd be last year. Chances are that your team probably won't get this right. Every player picked tonight won't pan out. That's just kind of how it goes. This stuff is hard. It's unpredictable. The draft is the textbook definition of inexact science. That's why you shouldn't worry if your team doesn't make the right pick. It doesn't matter. The consternation you have tonight probably won't last. You're going to see the vision anyway because you're a fan and that's what fans do. This day is less about who our teams pick and more about giving ourselves unfounded hope that this will be our year. That'll only be the case for one team, but the draft allows you to believe that that might be your team. At least for a few months, anyway. Maybe the thought is irrational. But today is not a day about rationality — it's one about belief. Hold onto it tight because, chances are, you probably won't have it for very long. Kristaps Porzingis, Celtics legend Kristaps Porzingis helped Boston win an NBA title last season, but I don't think there's ever been a moment where he was more beloved by Celtics fans than when he was bloodied and bandaged on the floor against the Magic on Wednesday. Cory Woodroof says No. 8 is a legend in Boston now. He's absolutely right. Listen to these fan chants. His coach loved it as much as the fans did. It takes a lot for Celtics fans to love you. That makes sense considering how many legends have played on that court for that team. But a quick way to get people to fall for you in Boston is to bleed for them. Porzingis did a lot of that on Monday night. Celtics fans will probably remember that as much as they remember the championship last year. Gabriel Landeskog is back For the first time in three years, Gabriel Landeskog is playing hockey again. Playoff hockey, no less! The Avalanche captain was in the lineup for the first time in three years in Game 3 against Dallas. Landeskog missed three seasons due to a knee injury that kept him sidelined. He last played in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final ... in 2022(!!!). That's a long time off the ice. He got the warm welcome he deserved from Avs fans in his return. Dallas spoiled his return a bit with a 2-1 win in overtime. But it was still quite the treat seeing him back out there. Plus, his kids were absolutely adorable. Quick hits: Why Flau'Jae delayed the WNBA ... Where will Sheduer land? ... and more — Meg Hall has details on why Flau'Jae Johnson stayed at LSU for another year despite being eligible for the WNBA draft. — Here's another mock draft with Shedeur Sanders falling quite a bit. Charles Curtis has more. — Wanna feel old? Here are three future NFL players with former NFL dads. Blake Schuster has more. — Fans poured in tributes for Bears legend Steve McMichael after he died on Wednesday following a battle with ALS. — Here's Cory with five players whose draft ranges are difficult to predict. — Ever wondered where that ESPN NFL draft sound comes from? Charles Curtis has the details here. That's a wrap, folks. Thanks for reading. Peace. -Sykes ✌️

How many sitting presidents have attended the Super Bowl with Donald Trump going?
Christian D'Andrea USA TODAY Sports Hear this story Super Bowl security is already a mess -- an arduous process designed to keep everyone safe for one of the highest profile annual events in American history. Well, good news for anyone hoping to watch Super Bowl 59 in person in New Orleans: now they may have to deal with a dense layer of Secret Service agents on top of it. President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to attend Sunday's game, a move that would make him the second-most famous person in the suites of the Superdome behind Taylor Swift. If he decides to take a break from levying, then pausing, tariffs in order to secure commitments foreign governments had already made months earlier, it would be an unprecedented move from the Commander in Chief. No sitting president has ever attended a Super Bowl. Vice presidents have, including Mike Pence -- Trump's former second-in-command who was left off the ticket in 2024. But while presidents are often guests at the Army-Navy Game each December, Trump would be the first to watch the big game in person. More NFL! Which NFL cities have hosted the most Super Bowls?

Super Bowl 2025 picks against the spread: A (near) consensus on the Eagles and Chiefs matchup
Folks, we made it. The 2025 Super Bowl kicks off on Sunday between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles — two teams who looked capable of making it this far all season long, but never had the smoothest roads. On one side of the field is a Chiefs team seeking the NFL's first-ever three-peat. On the other, an Eagles team out for revenge after losing the 2022 Super Bowl to Kansas City. In the middle of it all is our panel of experts who have to pick against the spread for this one. After betting the spread on every NFL game this year, the only thing we're going to remember is who got the big game right. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there's a near consensus on how this game is going to play out. Best of luck to those who tail (or fade). Let's do this. One last time until September. Name Regular Season Playoffs YTD Blake Schuster 151-115-5 9-2-1 160-117-6 Christian D'Andrea 141-125-5 5-6-1 146-131-6 Robert Zeglinski 140-126-5 6-5-1 146-131-6 Charles Curtis 139-127-5 6-5-1 145-132-6 Cory Woodroof 136-130-5 5-3 141-133-5 Prince Grimes 136-130-5 2-9-1 138-139-6 All odds via BetMGM Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Super Bowl Opening Line: Chiefs -1.5 Blake Schuster: Chiefs -1.5 I have no idea how they are going to pull it off, but I know it's a virtual lock. Why wouldn't it be? Things just tend to work out for Kansas City now. This is our reality. Tom Brady's reign as GOAT won't even last half as long as his career did. Prince Grimes: Chiefs -1.5 Now is when you throw out my mid regular season record and tail the kid. I'm 3-0 on SB picks at FTW and have another banger loaded. But really it's not me you're putting your faith in, it's Patrick Mahomes. Sorry to say it, but he's completing that 3-peat. Charles Curtis: Chiefs -1.5 For what it's worth, I've teased down the Eagles side, figuring it'll be close. But the Chiefs are a juggernaut that has looked the part in the playoffs. They'll win this by two points and we'll all be nervous bettors throughout. Cory Woodroof: Chiefs -1.5 They always get away with it. Robert Zeglinski: Chiefs -1.5 OK, anyway, onto the 2025 offseason. Christian D'Andrea: Eagles -2.5 THAT'S RIGHT, GIVE ME THAT ALTERNATE LINE GLORY AT +120 More BetFTW The Nets' 6 points in 6 seconds helped a bettor win $26K in the most unlikely way Super Bowl betting for dummies: A guide to the most unique Chiefs-Eagles prop bets Kevin Durant's journeyman career is kinda sad Gambling involves risk.
