✍ Braves Writing Their Own Comeback Story

Comebacks are no longer what everyone else does against Atlanta teams. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: The Braves are rewriting Atlanta’s tortured sports history, one cathartic comeback at a time … The Cowboys set out to be the NFL’s top defense, and they’re proving it … and more! Go back a couple of years and you could scarcely utter the word "comeback" in the city of Atlanta, on account of the traumatic memories it was certain to induce. Over a dirty little span where a cruel wind blew through Atlanta sports and "so near yet so far" became an ever-present catchphrase, the area’s most popular teams found increasingly creative ways to let glory slip through their nervous fingers. There was that whole 28-3 Super Bowl business, of course, with Tom Brady to blame for torching what would have been an epic Falcons party in February 2017. Less than a year later, Tua Tagovailoa's off-the-bench heroics toppled Georgia in the national championship. And during the COVID-shortened 2020 MLB season, the Braves surrendered a 3-1 series lead to the Los Angeles Dodgers to cost themselves a World Series berth. Yet it is those same Braves that put up a roadblock on the tortured narrative a year ago and, heading into their National League Division Series clash with the Philadelphia Phillies starting Tuesday (1:07 p.m. ET; FOX and the FOX Sports App), have continued the re-editing process this season. For "comebacks" are no longer what everyone else does against Atlanta teams. The art of the comeback? Well, that’s just how the Braves now live.

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( USC at Utah: Utah (-184 moneyline at FOX Bet) to win outright From FOX Sports NFL Analyst Geoff Schwartz: Utah is better. Utah does not lose at home. Utah will bounce back from the embarrassing performance against UCLA. Utah will rush the ball well against a poor USC rushing defense that allowed Washington State — a team that ranks last in rushing yards in the Pac-12 entering last weekend — to rush for 171 yards on Saturday night in the Coliseum. But more than anything else, the Trojans' "luck" is ending in Utah. USC is plus-14 in turnover margin, far better than anyone in college football. SC has recovered every fumble this season, whether from their own players or the opponent. That will not happen on the road in Utah. It’s a humbling place to play and USC struggled with the atmosphere at Oregon State with half of the stadium under construction. Also, in Saturday’s win against Washington State, USC’s offense had multiple third-and-long attempts that ended in questionable Cougar defensive penalties that ultimately gave USC a few first downs. Those drives ended with USC points. Teams do not get those calls in Utah. So give me the Utes. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
