While the game may be a direct continuation to the story of Resident Evil 7’s Ethan Winters, the game seems to be taking some cues from the classic Resident Evil 4 and marks a radical departure from the traditional games in some other aspects, which warrants a comparison between both of these games.

As I was considering these issues, I read a great article by Gerard Robinson, the vice president for education at the Advanced Studies in Culture Foundation in Charlottesville, Virginia. Previously, Robinson served as the commissioner of education for the state of Florida and as the secretary of education for the commonwealth of Virginia. In his article, Robinson offers a unique and powerful perspective on the riots and protests that are gripping our country....

Here’s a pick for this week’s NCAA Football card: No. 9 Auburn Tigers at No. 15 Georgia Bulldogs After a late-game heartbreak against Texas A&M, Auburn heads to Georgia to face a Bulldogs team that has been largely unstoppable on offense. Sitting at No. 4 in the SEC, Auburn is still very alive in the division race given the tiebreaker over Ole Miss and the looming late-season matchup against Alabama....

USC is coming off a 13-10 win at Stanford and heads to Boston College this week, opening as a 20-point favorite and being adjusted to -18.5 on Monday. Johnny Avello, the Wynn’s executive director of race & sports operations, said it’s way too early to anoint the Trojans, a young team prone to mistakes that could cost them some wins this season. “USC really was outplayed in that game against Stanford,” Avello told The Linemakers on Sporting News....

Rutgers is the perfect example hosting a Michigan Wolverines team that opened as 1.5-point road favorites at The Wynn for Saturday’s Big Ten matchup. The Scarlet Knights have since moved to -3 as bettors seem to have jumped ship on the Wolverines after they were blown out 30-14 by Minnesota at home last week as 10-point favorites. “I know the Michigan team, things aren’t going well right now, but you make the Rutgers the favorite over them?...

That does not mean there aren’t intriguing matchups. Four ranked teams are underdogs against unranked opponents, including No. 8 Oklahoma State and No. 10 Oregon. LSU, which agreed to part ways with Ed Orgeron at the end of the season, travels to No. 12 Ole Miss. No. 13 Notre Dame resumes its rivalry with USC, which fired coach Clay Helton after Week 2. No. 1 Alabama and Tennessee renew their rivalry in the SEC, and No....

This week’s slate of games offers no matchups of top-25 teams, and several in-conference games like Alabama-South Carolina and Clemson-Syracuse that feature double-digit lines. The biggest game of the week by far should be the annual meeting of Iowa and Iowa State for the Cy-Hawk trophy. Iowa, despite being ranked No. 19 in the country, is a one-point underdog for the home-team Cyclones, which hasn’t won a game in this series since 2014....

The outlook didn’t change much in Week 12. Every team ranked in the top 10 won, and the next set of College Football Playoff rankings should maintain a top four of Alabama, Clemson, Miami and Oklahoma. That doesn’t mean that next four out of Wisconsin, Auburn, Georgia and Ohio State can’t make a playoff statement the next two weeks. MORE: Can Jarrett Stidham, Jake Fromm topple Bama’s dynasty?

Iowa appeared completely outmatched in its 24-7 loss against unranked Purdue. That should cause the Hawkeyes to fall significantly, though perhaps not out of the top 10. The defense had no answer for Purdue quarterback Aidan O’Connell, who completed 30 of 40 passes for 375 yards and two touchdowns, and top wideout David Bell, who had 11 catches for 240 yards. Conversely, Hawkeyes quarterback Spencer Petras completed 15 of 32 passes for 195 yards and four interceptions....

New Year’s Day, though, will offer a brief reprieve. Because for the first time in years, there will be no bowl games on the day the calendar flips. It’s an unusual quirk in this year’s college football schedule. But not all that surprising.

Posted Sunday, the image show the Arrow actor getting treatment from an incident involving excessive alcohol and prescription medication. In another, he has his back to a mirror, revealing what appear to be bruises. In the accompanying caption, the 31-year-old former model told his 6.4 million followers that he didn’t want “if I look hot or not on Instagram to be my legacy.” “I’ve struggled the past year with trying to find my voice and where I fit in & that has been the most beautiful struggle I’ve ever had to go through,” he wrote....

After six games, it had allowed an average of 30 points, had given up 37 or more points in three consecutive losses, was languishing near the bottom of the league’s overall rankings and showed no sign of a turnaround. Today, those performances are almost recognizable. Though the names remain essentially unchanged, the Colts overcame that dismal start and have emerged as one of the NFL’s stingiest units and a key cog in Indy’s playoff run....

The quarterback’s scrambling ability was limited because of a tender hamstring, but Mariota compensated by passing for 306 yards and a touchdown in a 36-22 Titans win over the Colts. The Titans stopped a two-game slide, in which they missed Mariota for one game, and improved to 3-3 overall. They also moved into a three-way tie with the Jaguars and Texans for first place in the AFC South. The game was much closer than the score indicates....

This is the 50-year anniversary of the PGA Tour breaking away from the PGA of America, leading to years of disharmony. Well, as much as this genteel game allows. And yet all these years later, it took a strong relationship between the two organizations for American-based golf to get the schedule it wanted. Next season’s schedule was released Tuesday, and there were lots of moving parts, most of them already known....
