If you’re looking for a Colorado team to hoist a championship trophy this year, the choices are clear. With the Rockies expected to be in the cellar, and the Broncos wandering the desert, it’s the Avalanche, Nuggets or bust. The Avalanche (13-8) stand third in the West heading into their outdoor game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday at Lake Tahoe. The Nuggets (15-13) are holding down the No. 8 slot in the Western Conference, with a trip to Cleveland on Friday coming up next. Both still have decent odds to win a title, although the Avalanche at +600 (bet $100 to win $600) have the best odds in the NHL, according to co.superbook.com . Only their Lake Tahoe opponent, the Golden Knights, can match the 6-to-1 odds. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins are both currently listed at +700. In this week’s edition of Pick 6, we needed to throw Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic into the mix as a potential MVP award winner. Will the oddsmakers hold being in Denver against him? Or … [Read more...] about Pick 6: Looking for championship odds? Here’s a look at where Colorado sports teams stand.

We’re now getting some idea of why. Belichick apparently loved working with Newton, so much so that there’s a “significant possibility” that the Patriots give the veteran QB another year in New England.

Welcome to the Grand National, the most grueling and spectacular steeplechase in the world. The 172nd edition of the race, staged on April 6 at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, England, offers a record prize money pot of £1 million ($1.3 million). The three-day Grand National festival will be watched by 150,000 spectators on the course and a global television audience of over 600 million. The most valuable jump race in Europe "is a bit like Wimbledon," Clifford Baker, head lad at Manor Farm Stables, the highly successful yard of trainer Paul Nicholls in Ditcheat, England, told CNN Sport.

"It is the most famous race in the calendar, and the hardest to win." Read More Becher's … [Read more...] about Why the Grand National is the ‘Wimbledon’ of hunt racing
