The Times: Infantino promises Morocco the 2030 World Cup finalGianni Infantino has promised Morocco that it will host the 2030 World Cup final at Casablancas new Hassan II Stadium, instead of the Bernabu. The news was first reported by Martyn Ziegler (The Times).According to the outlet, Infantino is seeking to shore himself up with the backing of his most loyal ally since his election a decade ago. In return, Morocco which already has hosting duties and is now also aiming for the final strengthens its influence over the organization of the tournament it will share with Spain and Portugal.However, the move may depend on Saudi Arabias approval, and the traditional bastion of support for Infantino and confirmed host of the 2034 World Cup has so far remained silent.Infantinos opponents warn that any promise over the final venue is not binding and could be reversed with a change of presidency. Spain, with Rafael Louzn at the helm and as the current world champion, adds another edge to its political clash with Morocco.The crisis is worsening with the public intervention of Luis Figo, a UEFA adviser, calling for Infantinos immediate resignation. This is compounded by the discontent of dozens of European clubs demanding from FIFA the $250 million in solidarity funds that were promised and have still not been distributed.This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

The date for the 2027 Preakness Stakes has been moved to the fourth Sunday of May. The original date was the third Saturday of the month.The 152nd Preakness Stakes will now be run on Sunday, May 23, 2027, at Pimlico Race Course. Preakness Eve will be moved to Saturday, May 22 following the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes card, which is normally held on Friday. The date shift gives all parties involved more time following the Kentucky Derby. It now gives a 22-day break after the first Triple Crown race, rather than 14 days."Moving the Preakness to the fourth weekend in May is a historic announcement," said Bill Knauf, president and general manager of the Maryland Jockey Club in a release. "We believe the Preakness and the entire Triple Crown series are positioned for growth and great success. This extra week between the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness opens the Preakness to potential participants who use modern training methods."The past two years, Kentucky Derby winners, Sovereignty and Golden Tempo, have opted to skip the Preakness in favor of starting in the Belmont Stakes five weeks later.This article originally appeared on Louisville Courier Journal: Preakness 2027 changes date, moves further back from Kentucky Derby

It's unclear as to why, but Jacksonville is expected to underwhelm in 2026.

But entering this season, their win total is all the way down to 8.5. Could it have to do with the schedule? On paper, they have the 11th-hardest schedule in 2026. They are at Denver in Week 2, host New England in Week 3, at Cincinnati in Week 4 and face Philly (London) in Week 5. Jacksonville is also at Baltimore in Week 9 and at Chicago in Week 13. Also consider this: Six of Jacksonville's 13 wins last year came by seven points or fewer. In addition, last year was just the second time Jacksonville won double-digit games in the last 18 years. AFC South wins Over 3.5: +140Under 3.5: -175 WHAT TO KNOW: Jacksonville won the division last season by a single game over Houston, but the two teams had the same record in-division (5-1). It was the third time the Jags won the division in the last 26 years. It split with Houston last season, with both teams beating the other by seven points.

One of those teams won the Super Bowl, one of those teams lost in the Super Bowl and the other lost in the AFC title game. However, entering this year (excluding those three teams), each of the teams on the list above is favored to win more games than Jacksonville, despite the Jags winning more games than all of them last season. The Cowboys had just seven wins last season, and the Bengals and Chiefs each only had six.
