The (7-9) Atlanta Falcons will host the (6-10) New Orleans Saints this weekend.

Will the Panthers win the NFC South? Will Falcons star runningback Bijan Robinson score a touchdown? The (12-4) San Francisco 49ers will host the (13-3) Seattle Seahwks tomorrow night in a highly anticipated divsional matchup. 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has scored a touchdown in 6 straight games. Will Jennings score tomorrow?

Yesterday’s Rose Bowl College Football Playoff game between Alabama and Indiana was a historic one, but Alabama did not win. Instead, No. 1-seeded Indiana dominated No. 9 Alabama with a 38-3 victory, marking the Hoosiers’ first ever Rose Bowl win and sending them into the CFP semifinals. Alabama’s offense struggled, and in the second half they switched quarterbacks after starter Ty Simpson was shaken up. Indiana’s defense stifled Alabama, holding them to just 193 total yards and the win was one of the most lopsided postseason defeats in Alabama’s storied history. With the victory, Indiana advances to face Oregon in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. Is Alabama done for? How does Reese feel? Was Ty Simpson really hurt? Why did Alabama lose? Can they turn it around?
