The projected Super Bowl favorites lead the way in the Madden 27 ratings thanks to a busy offseason, but eight teams came in with an overall rating of 85 or higher.

Red Sox Manager Chad Tracy Offers Positive Update on Roman Anthony's Injury Recovery Original
After his standout rookie season in 2025, the Red Sox have been forced to navigate offensively without Roman Anthony's presence for most of the 2026 season.

There's arguably nothing more valuable to a team's World Series chances than a true No. 1 arm in the rotation — an ace who can shut down any opposing lineup. Because of the exclusivity of that group of pitchers, teams rarely choose to trade one midseason. The best pitchers moved at the MLB trade deadline are typically mid-rotation arms who may have a good track record or even some All-Star nods but aren't quite top-five pitchers in the sport or future Hall of Famers.

Draymond Green-Josh Hart beef, explained: Why Warriors veteran ripped Knicks forward on social media Original
Josh Hart is now an NBA champion — and with that status comes a bit more leeway to talk about the rest of the league.
