We chart a wild NFL week where the Giants found a real window with a rookie QB, the Jets hit a new low, and three overlooked games revealed who can actually travel in January. Then we go Knicks depth, rookie sparks, an NBA gambling storm, a Dodgers–Jays preview, and the case for protecting sports integrity before it frays.

• Giants’ fourth-quarter collapse balanced by Dart’s identity and rookie-deal window
• Eagles rematch keys: stay ahead of sticks, tight ends vs nickel, no free explosives
• Jets spiral: ownership noise, QB limbo, and a bleak path to first win
• Trade deadline reality and why Breece Hall is an airbag for a new QB
• Three games worth a rewatch: Colts-Chargers, 49ers-Falcons, Lions-Bucks
• Week eight watch list: Bears-Ravens tempo, Cowboys-Broncos fireworks, Steelers-Packers stakes
• Knicks’ grown-up opener, rotation depth, and managing Big Cat’s quad
• Rookie watch: Cooper Flagg’s poise, VJ Edgecombe’s eruption, Wemby’s monster line
• NBA gambling indictments, fragile prop markets, and the house with a microphone
• Concrete fixes: restrict micro-props, audit injury reports, lock access, real-time anomaly flags
• World Series preview: Dodgers’ frontline vs Blue Jays’ contact and gloves
• Aaron Judge and the no-ring pantheon warning
• Fantasy levers: buy lows, sell highs, and matchup-driven starts
• Five-pack card with rationale and bankroll discipline
