Week 2 brought chaos to Circa Survivor, while Circa Millions once again showed why true handicapping skill matters more than lottery-style survival. We also remember Chris Spatola following his tragic passing and look ahead to a wide-open WNBA postseason as the playoff picture comes into focus.

The Vikings were competitive last season despite poor quarterback play. With Kyler Murray healthy and a strong coaching staff in place, Minnesota to make the playoffs at +140 offers real value.
