The Drive

The over-under for New England's Thursday night tilt in Pittsburgh has been set at 30.5 - the lowest mark in the NFL since Cincinnati met Cleveland in December 2008.

Not that it really matters at this point, but after seeing four quarters worth of Zappe time, who would you put under center for the next must-lose Pats game on Thursday night?

Hockey fans in Maine have been patiently waiting for the day the two-time national champs would return to the sport's limelight. It's been 11 years since Maine last skated in the Hockey East Championship at the TD Garden or made it to the NCAA Tournament.

Though '23 has proved to be the least successful season of Belichick's coaching career, there will still be many teams lining up to acquire the G.O.A.T., with the Chargers, Panthers, Commanders, Bears and Raiders already being linked.

Mainers spent $3.9 million in the first weekend after sports betting went live, and in the first two weeks averaged more than $1 million in wagers per day, with total wagers for the first fortnight tallying just under $14 million.

We're less than 24 hours from one of the most special days on the calendar. A day made for family, feasting and football.
