Let’s dive into our FanDuel Single Game Showdown for Sunday Night Football. Here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the “MVP” is multiplied by 1. 5, but he doesn’t cost any additional money like the “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown contests. FanDuel’s default scoring is half-point PPR and four-point passing TDs. Unlike on DraftKings, FanDuel features no bonuses for 300-yard/100-yard games.

William Hill’s Super Bowl 50 odds board is similar at the top, but the Cowboys (10-to-1) occupy the fourth spot while the Colts and Broncos, both 12-to-1, are tied for fifth. There are a number of teams that hold different numbers at the two books. One example that stands out in particular is the Rams, who are drawing a far more optimistic price at the Westgate (25-to-1) than at William Hill (60-to-1)....

Oddsmakers have installed the Chiefs as the heavy chalk on their boards, with FanDuel Sportsbook posting odds of plus-190 (bet $100 to make $190) entering wild-card weekend. Kansas City completed its 2020 NFL regular season with a 14-2 record; its only losses were to the Raiders in Week 5 and the Chargers in Week 17. The season-ending loss did not affect KC’s seeding; it is No. 1 for the AFC playoffs....

Yet among all the world-class athletes suiting up in Arizona, outspoken Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman might be the most intriguing personality.

Mike Harris, the uploader of this video, explains the dramatic reaction in greater detail on YouTube, noting that his mom became a Seahawks fan in 1976, but really caught "Seahawks fever" in the 2000s. He also noted that in 1984, his mother was pregnant with him, keeping her from welcoming the Seahawks back to Seattle after making the AFC title game. Harris said in the description: "Thirty years after she skipped their welcome home for my sake, I was able to return the favor in the biggest way I could ever think of....

It’s going to be a departure from the norm for both teams this year, with the NFC’s Bucs operating as the home team — both in a literal and figurative sense — but not wearing their usual home red tops. The same can be said for their AFC opponent, the Chiefs, who will be wearing their home colors despite being designated as the away team. Get the dry-cleaning ticket handy, iron out those hand towels and make sure the lucky socks are up to game-day snuff to match up with the squads in just a few weeks....

When starting out, Super Bell Hill is a nice introduction to the mechanics of Super Mario 3D World, and shouldn’t be too much of a challenge for players. But, right from the start players have a choice to make, and that is which character to use. Each character in Super Mario 3D World has slightly different skills, so that might be a factor, or fans go with their favorite....

Announced as a standalone experience with open world gameplay reminiscent of other 3D titles like Super Mario Odyssey, the trailer for the expansion was noticeably darker in tone compared to Super Mario 3D World. Bowser himself appeared intimidating, towering over Mario menacingly in darker colors contrasting to his bright green default colors. Bowser’s updated appearance proved to be a hit with fans following the trailer as various fan-art emerged from the artists....

As a result of the recent Nintendo leak, YouTuber Arthurtilly has just discovered an unused enemy type in Super Mario 64 that is referred to in its code simply as a “Moto.” This unused enemy type mostly resembles chuckyas from the title, as their main ability is to grab Mario and throw him off of a platform. RELATED: YouTuber Uses Kinect to Play Super Mario 64 Whereas they behave most similarly to the purple chuckya enemies, their appearance most closely resembles bullies from the level, Lethal Lava Land....

Back in the original Super Mario Bros., the power-ups at the Italian plumber’s disposal were a bit more streamlined. Players could get a Super Mushroom to grow in size and take an extra hit, a Fire Flower to both grow and shoot fireballs, or the Star to become invincible for a short period of time. As the series would progress though, and especially from 2D to 3D, with every new title it seemed like there were new power-ups being introduced....

One well-known secret in Super Mario Galaxy is the ability to play as Luigi throughout the game instead of Mario. While this is something that many Luigi fans would like to do, unlocking this ability is going to take a lot of time and effort to complete.

As detailed by GameXplain, a user known as ClapTrap9 decided to switch things up by creating a level that has the look and feel of Super Mario Maker 2 inside of Sony’s LittleBigPlanet 3 on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. The level itself boots into the Super Mario World theme, complete with the music and title screen Nintendo Switch players have been playing for the past few days....

Super Mario has experimented with open-ended sandbox video game worlds before. While the earlier Super Mario games are linear in structure, Super Mario 64 features sandbox levels, as does Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Odyssey. The Super Mario Galaxy games and Super Mario 3D World returned to more linear level design, but the fact remains that Super Mario has already dipped its toe in open world gaming.

Aside from giving Super Mario Sunshine a simple upgrade in graphics, sp00kens also wants to include a few extra stages, in addition to fuller textures, lighting, and music. As far as the next step in the process for Delfino Plaza goes, the Redditor will be working on adding water to the area, as it’s one of the key components of the game. Should there be any attempt to add gameplay to the Super Mario Sunshine re-haul, there’s no telling how it will be incorporated....

All this left Brendan Rodgers with the impossible task of replacing Luis Suarez, the golden boot winner in the 2013-14 season. But credit where it’s due, the Liverpool manager has gone about the task of replacing the Uruguayan in an admirable way having made some very exciting signings this transfer window. He has streghtened nearly every department and brought incredible depth to the squad which will hopefully make the Reds good enough to compete in all four competitions this season....

In 1991, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System released along with Super Mario World as a launch title, and has seen many re-releases including launching with Nintendo Switch Online’s SNES library. Super Mario World was designed to be played on CRT TVs, which at release time had a standard aspect ratio of 4:3, so attempting to play the original SNES release of the game on a modern 16:9 display stretches the image out into an unnatural, blurry mess....

Much of the aesthetic for the Super Nintendo World park is taken from Mario’s sidescrolling games, notable the New Super Mario Bros. series, and eagle-eyed fans have picked up on animatronic pieces like spinning gold coins being placed alongside cloud platforms and flagpoles. On June 19, a high-quality video from a different angle was uploaded by a Japanese YouTube account that shows Mario characters like a Thwomp, Goomba, Koopa, and of course the lovable mount dinosaur Yoshi running around a tree....

The aesthetics of the game are just as, if not more important than, the length of the game. Players such as Jose Altuve and Francisco Lindor are so good for the game because they’re expressive, spray the ball everywhere, and make excellent plays on defense. It’s that pinball aspect that needs to be emphasized. The more the ball is in play, the better. But that’s easier said than done in the era of bullpen, and especially now that bullpens are getting even bigger....

From writing a column for Famitsu to playing over 240 PlayStation games over the course of a year, Sakurai cares about video games just as much as his primary audience does. Given that Super Smash Bros. has served as a way of celebrating various different video game characters and franchises, it makes sense for Sakurai to have experience with numerous facets of gaming. Though, Sakurai has recently reminded his fans on social media of an impending digital shop closure....

This game features fighters from various indie games like Octodad, Orcane from Rivals of Aether, Ultra Fishbunjin 3000 from Slap City, and The Watcher from Slay the Spire. Alongside these playable fighters, players can call upon a variety of assist characters during gameplay, who are all from various popular indie games like CrossCode, OneShot, and even productions such as Newgrounds’ Tankman. While Kickstarter backers got a chance to try out the game with a tester build in August, fans will get a chance to try the game in Early Access now, complete with a new assist based on Among Us....
