We don’t need Houston to win for this lineup to cash, but clearly with a four-player Texans stack, we’re hoping for a lot of offense. That can come in the form of garbage-time points in the second half or an efficient four-quarter attack – either way, we think Deshaun Watson and Co. are up to the task. We’re mostly attacking the Texans-Chiefs game, which has a higher total and figures to see more points, but we’re also grabbing a couple key contributors from the Seahawks-Packers matchup, including a potential contrarian play that could help differentiate our lineup....

In defeating the Clippers in the final game of the Play-In Tournament, the Pelicans earned the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. With it comes an opportunity to play the top-seeded Suns in the first round. The Suns ran away with the league’s best record this season, winning a franchise-best 64 games. The Pelicans managed to go 36-46 despite starting ice cold and not having Zion Williamson at all....

A 30-second spot during Sunday’s game is costing companies about $1.9 million, down from about $2 million last year. And while most of the commercials during the highest-rated TV event of the year will feature the usual humor and high jinx, viewers will also detect a slight difference in tone from years past. The fun fare will come from the usual sources. A Dockers ad will feature big guys in little black dresses....

The Seahawks (5-to-1 odds), Patriots (6-to-1) and Packers (7-to-1) open as the top three betting choices, while the Colts – this season’s other semifinalist – is tied for sixth at 16-to-1. The Eagles, also at 16-to-1, have the shortest odds to win Super Bowl 50 of any team that missed this season’s playoffs. The Broncos and Cowboys – both eliminated in the divisional round last weekend – open at 8-to-1 and 12-to-1, respectively....

Somehow, the Patriots forced an extra period despite trailing the Falcons 28-3. And of course Tom Brady and New England won. The Super Bowl has been played since 1967, and only in the 2017 iteration was additional time needed to decide the NFL champion. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen again, though, and if it does, you’re surely wondering how it works. What are the rules? NFL overtime rules are a bit controversial to begin with, so maybe they’re better in the playoffs?...

We’ll also take a look at how the performances of a few of the Patriots’ players could affect the outcome from a game and line standpoint. Be sure to check out “The Linemakers” throughout the lead-up to the Super Bowl for more handicapping analysis of Seahawks-Patriots: PATRIOTS HANDICAPPING SUMMARY MORE: The Seahawks go under the microscope Super Bowl XLIX line: Patriots -1.

Both Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine are both easy to port to the Switch in terms of overall game mechanics. However, Super Mario Galaxy is a whole other story considering that it was initially released on the Wii and heavily relied on motion control mechanics throughout various parts of the game. While the Switch does feature motion control support, this leads to a rather big problem, considering that all of the games need to be playable in handheld mode as well....

Super Mario 3D World: World 2-4 Green Star #1 In order to collect the first Green Star in this Super Mario 3D World level, players must first assume Cat form.

The Super Mario Maker 2 level in question was a zero-gravity course, titled “Pile of Poo: Kai-Zero G,” and it offered a significant challenge to any player that had the chance to download it. Requiring precisely timed jumps and consideration of non-existent gravity, GrandPooBear’s level was not for the faint of heart, and a video demonstrating it can be seen below. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=584&v=0yQ_I5KyGK4[/embed] As indicated by the video, GrandPooBear’s level, which has been one of Super Mario Maker 2’s most-played Super Expert difficulty courses, is not an obviously offensive or explicit course....

Habitats allow players a place to sleep, store materials, fabricate tools, store vehicles, and even study live alien specimens.

The teacher, 65-year-old John Stanton, made the comments at a Swanson Middle School Spanish class, telling students to read Russian propaganda to get a different viewpoint on the invasion, according to The Washington Post. Many people on both sides of the nation’s partisan divide have been united in their opinion that Putin’s invasion was unprovoked and that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a heroic figure. But Stanton’s suspension shows that some Americans have praised the Russian president....

For decades, European officials have been the most ardent proponents of engagement with the Islamic Republic, believing that trade and diplomacy would help moderate Tehran’s rogue behavior. Over the past couple of years, this has taken the form of feverish advocacy in favor of reviving the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the West—a foreign policy priority that the Biden administration shares. Yet recent days have seen something of an about-face from Brussels, where attitudes toward Iran seem to be hardening amid a growing recognition of Iran’s deeply problematic policies at home and abroad....

Kaendi has joined a steady stream of blind, maimed and disfigured bombing victims seeking restitution from Washington. With big money potentially at stake, American lawyers are fighting fiercely for their business. None is more prominent–or more controversial–than John Burris, an African-American civil-rights lawyer from California. (Because foreign attorneys are not permitted to practice in Kenya, they work in conjunction with local lawyers; the Kenyans manage the clients, and the Americans file the claims....
