Falcons RB Devonta Freeman likely to practice this week

The Falcons have been without starting running back Devonta Freeman for the past two weeks as he recovers from a foot injury. Head coach Dan Quinn gave an update this morning, saying he anticipates Freeman will return to practice this week: 

The Falcons have been without starting running back Devonta Freeman for the past two weeks as he recovers from a foot injury. Head coach Dan Quinn gave an update this morning, saying he anticipates Freeman will return to practice this week:

Freeman is having one of his worst years while Atlanta’s offensive line has been injured and ineffective at times this season. In the nine games he’s played in, he’s averaged just 3.5 yards per carry, with zero rushing touchdowns.

Backup Ito Smith is out for the season, while Brian Hill has been just as ineffective as Freeman. The Falcons’ rushing attack is ranked 31st in the league in yards per game.

Coming off Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers, Atlanta has to quickly regroup and prepare for its Thanksgiving matchup with the Saints.

Vegas Watch: Lions open Week 13 as 1.5-point favorites over the Bears on Thanksgiving

According to BetMGM, the Detroit Lions (3-7-1) open the week as 1.5-point favorites as they host the Chicago Bears (5-6) on Thanksgiving.

According to BetMGM, the Detroit Lions (3-7-1) open the week as 1.5-point favorites as they host the Chicago Bears (5-6) on Thanksgiving at Ford Field.

Both teams are coming off of ugly games. The big difference was, the Bears managed to beat their bad opponent (the Giants), while the Lions couldn’t leave Washington with a win. Between the two teams, their starting quarterbacks threw five interceptions (Lions’ Jeff Driskel tossed three and the Bears’ Mitchell Trubisky had two) and neither offense could manage to break 19 points — so no surprise, the over/under currently sits at low 39.5 points.

BetMGM has a lot of various bet lines to wager on in this game, but here’s a look the basic concepts most would be interested in, including the Moneyline, points spread and over/under.

Raiders QB Derek Carr fails to inspire confidence heading into Week 13 vs. Chiefs

Carr’s Week 12 performance saw him benched and his words following the game were equally uninspiring.

The Oakland Raiders struggled mightily against the New York Jets in Week 12.

It was a bad performance on both ends. They saw struggles on defense — failing to keep the Jets out of the endzone in the third quarter. It was even worse on the offensive side of the ball. QB Derek Carr was unable to get anything going, converting just five of their 15 attempts on third down.

Carr finished the day throwing for less than 130 yards with one interception. He threw the last touchdown of the game, but it wasn’t to his own team. Nickel corner Brian Poole caught an interception one-handed and returned it for a touchdown. Carr had just one more series for the Raiders, and after a three-and-out, Jon Gruden opted to replace Carr with backup QB Mike Glennon.

After the game, Gruden defended his decision to pull Carr out of the game saying he had the best interests of the football team in mind. Carr claimed that he was pulled from the game for other reasons, but it was quite clear that his performance was the one and only reason.

With New York in the rear-view, Oakland’s quarterback shifted his focus after the game to Week 13 and the Kansas City Chiefs. He was asked about whether the team would be prepared for the critical AFC West matchup.

“We better show up or they’re going to beat us by 50,” Carr said. “That’s a really good football team — one of the best in the NFL. Hopefully our guys, myself included, when we show up to Arrowhead we’re ready to go and I believe that we will be.”

It’s not exactly the most shining vote of confidence from the Raiders quarterback. Carr added that no one was hanging their heads after the loss, but an entirely different challenge awaits. Oakland is heading to Arrowhead Stadium to face a bitter rival and they’re in a bad way. There is now a rather large shadow of doubt following around Oakland’s offensive leader heading into a pivotal AFC West matchup. The Chiefs, on the other hand, are coming off the bye and with blood in the water — they should be circling a battered Raiders team like hungry sharks.

Dan Quinn tells team there’s no time to dwell on loss to Buccaneers

The Falcons’ 35–22 loss to the Buccaneers was as frustrating as it gets, but the team must quickly shift focus to Week 13 with the New Orleans Saints coming to town for a Thursday night Thanksgiving battle.

The Falcons’ 35–22 loss to the Buccaneers was as frustrating as it gets, but the team must quickly shift focus to Week 13 with the New Orleans Saints coming to town for a Thursday night Thanksgiving battle.

In his postgame press conference, head coach Dan Quinn said he had told his players they didn’t have any time to dwell on Sunday’s letdown:

After suffering an eighth loss, the playoffs aren’t a real possibility for the Falcons this season. Still, getting two wins over a very good Saints team in less than a month would be a satisfying achievement in its own right.

The crowds at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta have been getting smaller and this team owes it to the fans to put on a respectable performance at home on Thanksgiving.

Jarran Reed suffers sprained ankle in Seahawks win over Eagles

“Unfortunately, J. [Jarran] Reed sprained his ankle a little bit,” coach Pete Carroll confirmed after the game.

The Seattle Seahawks were without star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the rest of the defensive line stepped up in a big way to help lead the team to a gritty 17-9 victory.

A big part of that success up front was the performance of veteran Jarran Reed, who recorded three combined tackles and a half sack. However, he exited the game early with an ankle injury that could keep him on the shelf for a while.

“Unfortunately, J. [Jarran] Reed sprained his ankle a little bit,” coach Pete Carroll confirmed after the game.

Sprained ankle recovery times vary significantly. If Reed’s injury is a high-ankle sprain, it could take up to six weeks for him to recover, and would very possibly end his season.

However, a low ankle sprain could have a recovery time as short as a few days, which would have him back in plenty of time to play in Seattle’s Week 13 matchup against the Vikings on Monday night football.

Carroll will address the media on Monday afternoon, and a status update on Reed will likely be available at that time.

RECAP: Minnesota Handles Northwestern 38-22, Is One Win Closer To Big Ten West Title

Powered by a great performance from QB Tanner Morgan, and a near-perfect day from Tyler Johnson and Rashod Bateman, the #11 Gophers rolled.

Minnesota’s potent passing attack downs Northwestern.

Contact/Follow @PelliottSports & @ColFootballNews

The Gophers continue to impress.

EVANSTON, Ill. — There’s no trophy to distinguish the Northwestern-Minnesota series. If there was one, what would it be, a mitten? A mini-snowblower? An icicle?

In the absence of an official trophy, there was one that appeared to unofficially change hands between the two teams after the conclusion of Saturday’s game: the Big Ten West crown.

The Wildcats, coming off a nine-win season that took them to the Big Ten Championship Game, have taken a significant step backward this year, and have failed to win a single conference game this season. While Northwestern has been mired in the basement of the West, the Golden Gophers have stood atop it, soaring to unprecedented heights in P.J. Fleck’s third season at the helm of the program.

Undefeated for nine weeks, Minnesota fell at Iowa last week, a loss that has likely doomed their outside bid at a College Football Playoff berth. But their postseason ambitions aren’t completely dead in the water, as a two-loss Wisconsin team has made it increasingly likely that Minnesota will represent the West Division in the Big Ten title game.

Powered by an excellent performance from quarterback Tanner Morgan, and a near-perfect day from receivers Tyler Johnson and Rashod Bateman, the No. 11 ranked Gophers (9-1, 7-1 Big Ten) never trailed in a commanding 38-22 win over Northwestern (2-9, 0-8 Big Ten), and are one win closer to Indianapolis, a capstone to a once-in-a-generation season.

Morgan, whose status for Saturday’s game was in question heading into the week, was cleared to play in the days leading up to the contest after entering concussion protocol, assuaging concerns that Minnesota would have to start a redshirt-freshman quarterback in his place.

Morgan, who has been first-rate all season, threw for four touchdowns and 211 yards, tying his season-high in touchdown passes in a game. The sophomore led a torrid passing attack that evenly targeted Johnson and Bateman with seven receptions apiece.

The Gophers blitzed out to a quick 21-0 lead in the first half, and with Northwestern’s offense generating just 88 yards of total offense, it looked like the rout was on.

Bateman jump-started the Minnesota offense on their first drive, snagging a perfectly-placed throw over safety Travis Whillock on a post route for a 19-yard score. The redshirt-senior topped that impressive catch in the second quarter with an arguably even better play, beating Trae Williams on a double move before extending his arms to make a toe drag catch near the front left pylon.

Running back Shannon Brooks practically walked-in a nine-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

Minnesota is now 19-1 under Fleck when they lead after the first quarter.

To their credit, Northwestern finished the first half strong, denying the Gophers any more points. A 67-yard boot off the leg of punter Andrew David pinned Minnesota inside their five-yard line with nine minutes to play in the half. On the first play of the Minnesota drive, senior defensive lineman Joe Gaziano scored a safety by pressuring Morgan in the end zone, forcing a throw out-of-bounds that sailed short of the first-down marker. After it was ruled a sack, Gaziano became Northwestern’s all-time leader in the category with 28.5, a proud moment for the senior.

“It was a big momentum play, because our offense gets the ball back and we scored a nine-point swing in the game,” said Gaziano. “I was really excited for the guys to be able to grasp momentum like that.”

The safety ignited a 14-play, 69-yard drive that ended with an Andrew Marty connection with sophomore Jace James in the endzone to make it 21-9.

While Morgan was predictably reliable, Northwestern’s quarterback carousel continued to be unpredictable heading into Saturday’s game.

After sustaining an injury in last week’s game against UMass, Aidan Smith was listed as doubtful in Thursday’s injury report, leading many to make the assumption that Andrew Marty would make the start for the ‘Cats.

Except, he didn’t. ESPN’s Rece Davis revealed a couple hours before kickoff on College Gameday that Johnson would be the starter.

Oh, Pat Fitzgerald and his depth chart shenanigans.

Johnson, who had not played since the team’s Nov. 2 loss at Indiana, has battled a myriad of injuries and off-the-field issues this season. To say the least, this year has not gone as planned for Johnson. Unfortunately, his misfortunes continued in Saturday’s game.

Johnson was rendered unable to complete a single pass and subject to relentless pressure thanks to poor offensive line play. The redshirt sophomore was sacked three times, the third of which knocked him out of the game with concussion-like symptoms as characterized by the ABC broadcast.

That meant the quarterbacking duties fell to Marty.

Despite the short notice, Marty played the most complete game by a Northwestern quarterback all season, throwing for 95 yards and one touchdown on 8-of-10 passing, while punching into two rushing touchdowns at the goal line.

“I was proud of Andrew for stepping up and getting his first real experience,” said Fitzgerald of Marty’s performance. “I’m just happy for him. He’s worked really hard and he’s a great young man. My hope is that he gains confidence through the experience and it’s great fuel and motivation for him as he moves forward in his career.”

Any momentum the ‘Cats had from the end of the first half failed to carry over in the second half, as Minnesota continued to keep pace with Northwestern, despite Marty’s best efforts.

Rashod Bateman and Tyler Johnson each caught a touchdown pass, and Michael Lantz contributed a 37-yard field goal to end a clock-killing fourth-quarter drive.

Bateman’s three touchdown receptions were the most in one game in his career.

The Gophers’ endless depth on both sides of the ball choked a banged-up, inexperienced Northwestern team. The Gophers split 217 rushing yards on 39 carries among three running backs

Northwestern, on the other hand, was forced to rely on two freshmen running backs against a top-30 rushing defense.

To say Northwestern never had a chance to upset Minnesota would be an overstatement. But without a deluge of unforced errors, it’s hard to see how the Wildcats could have ever overcome such a severe talent disparity.

As the sun sets on Northwestern’s reign as Big Ten West champions, a new insurgent team stands in the wings, ready to assume the title.

“If you want to be a Big Ten West champ, you got to beat the Big Ten West champ,” said Fleck.

What’s Next:

Northwestern at Illinois (Saturday, Nov. 30 @ TBD)

Minnesota at #12 Wisconsin (Saturday, November 30 @ 2:30 p.m. on ABC)

What’s Going To Happen

BYU is already set with its trip to the Hawaii Bowl, and now it’s time to start the tour of America.

First it gets to visit the middle of Massachusetts with its date with UMass, then it goes to San Diego to face SDSU, and then it gets to make the trip to Honolulu.

UMass gets to stay in Amherst.

The Minutemen have the nation’s worst defense, they haven’t been able to beat anyone but the worst team in college football – Akron – and now the offense has gone away, too.

This is the game for the BYU running backs to have a little fun.

UMass has the nation’s worst run D, allowing close to 300 yards per game, and the Cougars should be able to push for that with what should be their best performance of the year on the ground – 221 yards against Utah State is the previous high.

It won’t be a shutout – the Minutemen will get a few likes in with the passing game – but the Cougars will call their shot. They’ll shut it down in the fourth quarter.

Louisiana (8-2) vs. Troy (5-5) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

Louisiana wins the Sun Belt West again with a win. Lose, and things start to get interesting with the rivalry date with ULM to close, but the team is hot enough to keep this going with a four-game winning streak.

All eight of the Ragin’ Cajun wins were by double-digit blasting, and the two losses were to Mississippi State and Appalachian State – no shame there.

Troy found its footing after losing four games in five, beating Georgia Southern and Texas State to get back in the bowl fight. The offense has been explosive, the defense has been erratic, and it needs one more win – it gets Appalachian State to close – to get bowl eligible.

The Trojans have the best pass rush in the Sun Belt, the passing game is averaging 325 yards per game, and now it has to handle the ULL running game

The Ragin’ Cajuns are playing too well. The offense is going to be good for almost 500 yards, the defense will do enough to generate the third down stops needed to hold up, and they’ll be off to the Sun Belt Championship again with another fantastic performance.
