Buccaneers vs. Saints prediction: NFL Week 8 props, picks, odds

The Buccaneers are heading to New Orleans with a depleted wide receiver room. Last week, Mike Evans suffered a broken collarbone and is expected to be out for most of the remainder of the NFL season. Additionally, Chris Godwin Jr., who is recovering from a dislocated ankle and dealing with a fibula injury, will also miss Tampa Bay’s Week 8 contest.

While this is certainly bad news for the Bucs, the absences of Evans and Godwin present a promising opportunity for those betting on tight end Cade Otton. Otton has been a favorite target of quarterback Baker Mayfield whenever the team’s star pass catchers have been sidelined over the past two seasons.

In the four games since the beginning of the 2024 season where Evans and Godwin were out, Otton has averaged 61 receiving yards, 6.75 catches per game, and 8.75 targets per game. This trend highlights his growing role in the offense when key receivers are unavailable.

Emeka Egbuka is expected to play in this upcoming game, but he didn’t quite look like himself during the Bucs’ loss to the Lions last week, catching only four passes on 12 targets. In contrast, Otton led the way by hauling in seven catches for 65 yards.

Despite Otton’s increase in targets and receptions, oddsmakers aren’t anticipating a huge game from the former Washington Huskie this week. FanDuel Sportsbook has set his receiving yards over/under at 39.5 yards and his receptions over/under at 4.5 catches.

With few other viable receiving options for Mayfield, it makes sense for him to rely heavily on his safety valve, Cade Otton. This dynamic sets up Otton for a potentially big day, especially on National Tight End’s Day.

**The Play:**
Cade Otton to have more than 39.5 receiving yards (-110, FanDuel) and more than 4.5 catches (+115, FanDuel)

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk’s Widow Erika’s ‘Faith Saved Her’ Following Her Husband’s Horrific Assassination… As She Now Prepares to Carry on His Mission

Oct. 26, 2025, Published 10:00 a.m. ET

Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, has captured the hearts of millions of Americans following her heart-wrenching eulogy at her husband’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, on September 21, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Erika, 36, began by quoting one of Charlie’s favorite Bible verses, Isaiah 6:8: “Here I am, Lord. Send me.” She then shockingly expressed forgiveness for Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who allegedly assassinated Charlie just 11 days earlier.

Erika’s Shocking ‘Forgiveness’ Confession

“My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life,” Erika told the rapt crowd at State Farm Stadium. “Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That young man… I forgive him. The answer to hate is not hate.”

How Erika’s Faith Saved Her During The Tragedy

Erika also talked about how her family stayed strong as Charlie traveled, and how his mission lives on inside her. She is now the CEO of Turning Point USA and promises that “every part of our work will be made greater.”

“Her faith saved her,” said a source. “Her strength throughout this whole nightmare has been astonishing. It’s a testament to her devotion to Charlie – and the power of their love.”

Endangered North Atlantic right whales are making a slow comeback

**Slow but Steady: North Atlantic Right Whale Population Shows Signs of Recovery**

The North Atlantic right whale (*Eubalaena glacialis*) is one of the most endangered large whales in the world. Their very name reflects their tragic history: these whales were considered the “right” whales for whalers to target, as they floated after being killed, making them easier to harvest.

Today, their biggest threats are ship collisions and entanglement in fishing gear. However, for once, there’s some good news from the marine conservation community.

According to a statement from the New England Aquarium, estimates for North Atlantic right whale populations are slowly increasing. Researchers from the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium, New England Aquarium, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimate that, in 2024, there were around 384 individuals—a 2.1 percent increase from the previous year’s count.

So far, 2025 has also shown promise. Heather Pettis, senior scientist at the New England Aquarium, shared with *Popular Science* that there have been 11 known calf births, zero detected deaths, and notably fewer significant entanglements and vessel strikes this year.

“The population increase is really good news, and so far, what we’ve seen in 2025 is also encouraging,” Pettis explains. However, she cautions, “We’re talking about a population of 384 individual whales—that’s still incredibly low. Yes, we’re seeing increases. They’re small, and we still are seeing injuries to animals from human activities. So, I say that we’re cautiously optimistic.”

Pettis emphasizes that conservation efforts must continue with urgency. Both regulatory processes and initiatives beyond regulation are essential. Creative industry solutions and public awareness campaigns play a critical role in protecting these whales.

In Massachusetts, for example, Cape Cod has implemented fishing limits during times when right whales are known to be present as part of its mitigation strategy.

One promising innovation involves new on-demand fishing technology currently being trialed in the U.S. and Canada. This technology aims to prevent whale entanglements by keeping vertical ropes—those that connect traps on the seafloor to buoys at the surface—out of the water column until fishermen need to retrieve their gear.

“Removing those vertical ropes from the water is a huge conservation benefit to right whales,” Pettis explains.

When it comes to reducing ship collisions, many stakeholders are exploring ways to better connect with mariners, informing them when they are entering areas where slowing down would benefit the whales.

Another potential avenue is related to right whale eyesight. A study on humpback whales published earlier this year suggests that their vision may be poorer than previously thought, meaning they might not see fishing gear until it’s too late to avoid it.

While similar studies on right whale eyesight haven’t been published, Pettis notes that there are discussions about which colors right whales might see better underwater. “Are there ways in which we could alter the color of ropes? Might that help? So that’s a lingering question,” she says.

As the North Atlantic right whale population slowly recovers, ongoing efforts combining science, technology, and community engagement remain vital to ensuring its future survival.

Immigration column missed some key points | Letter

Jim Fossel’s Oct. 10 column on immigration (“Democrats’ inaction on immigration is coming home to roost”) presents a very one-sided view of the issue. While he may have a point that Democrats didn’t do enough to stem the flow of undocumented immigrants, he overlooks President Trump’s lack of interest in solving the problem.

Trump actively torpedoed a bipartisan solution because it would have deprived him of a political talking point. Fossel claims that Democrats didn’t object when President Obama deported large numbers of immigrants, but there is a significant difference in how those deportations were carried out. Obama did not turn deportation into a cruel media spectacle.

It is not widely known that Obama deported more than 5 million people. According to the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), Obama focused on “the deportation of criminals and recent unauthorized border crossers.” MPI also reports that both the Clinton and second Bush administrations deported many more immigrants than Obama did.

In contrast, Trump’s Department of Homeland Security says it will deport around 600,000 people this year—about one-eighth the number that Obama deported in four years and roughly a quarter of the rate under Clinton and Bush.

Trump campaigned on removing violent criminals. If that had been his actual focus, there would likely be far less objection. Especially if deportations were not carried out by masked agents forcibly detaining people off the street simply because they appear nervous. As regional Chief Border Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino noted, “Who wouldn’t be nervous if approached by people with guns and no identification?”

Trump’s approach to immigration, much like his overall style of governing, is marked by shock and awe. Fossel should acknowledge that Trump’s methods may be no more effective than those of his predecessors in both parties.

Gophers outclassed, outcoached in brutal defeat at Iowa

Gophers Outclassed, Outcoached in Brutal Defeat at Iowa

Following a 41-3 loss to the Hawkeyes and losing the Floyd of Rosedale trophy on Saturday, Minnesota is left searching for answers as the season hangs in the balance.

It’s back to the drawing boards for P. J. Fleck and the Gophers after Minnesota turned in its worst performance of the season in Saturday’s 38-point defeat at rival Iowa.

IOWA CITY

As black-and-gold-clad Iowa fans filtered through the concourse at Kinnick Stadium and onto the street on this crisp autumn night, the sounds of disbelieving laughter stood out. The Hawkeyes’ faithful were celebrating their team’s 41-3 dismantling of the Gophers in front of 69,250 fans on Saturday with an aura of, “Can you believe we beat them that bad?”

A pair of teams entered the game with identical 5-2 overall records and 3-1 marks in the Big Ten. One left with ownership of the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy. The other left wondering how it could be so thoroughly dominated by a rival.

Yes, it was a blowout. But the final score might not do it justice. This stat sums it up best: through Minnesota’s first four possessions, the Gophers had just 1 yard of offense. The Hawkeyes had scored 31 points.

“They absolutely dominated the football game from start to finish,” Gophers coach P. J. Fleck said. “I told our football team that those were three hours of not very good football. We did not play our best when we needed to play our absolute best.”

A Gophers team that eight days earlier played a complete game in a 24-6 thumping of Nebraska at Huntington Bank Stadium suddenly looked shell-shocked.

Venezuela’s Maduro says the US is fabricating a war and seeks to revoke citizenship of opponent

CARACAS (AP) — Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro said the U.S. government is “fabricating” a war against him as the world’s biggest warship approached the South American country, while moving to revoke the citizenship of an opponent he accuses of inciting an invasion.

Maduro stated in a national broadcast on Friday night that the administration of President Donald Trump is “fabricating a new eternal war” as the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which can host up to 90 airplanes and attack helicopters, moves closer to Venezuela.

On Saturday, the Venezuelan president also referred to the pressure he has felt from the U.S. government as he initiated legal proceedings to revoke the citizenship and cancel the passport of opposition politician Leopoldo López.

“They promised they would never again get involved in a war and they are fabricating a war that we will avoid,” said Maduro during Friday night’s address.

Trump has accused Maduro, without providing evidence, of being the leader of the organized crime gang Tren de Aragua. “They are fabricating an extravagant narrative, a vulgar, criminal and totally fake one,” Maduro added. “Venezuela is a country that does not produce cocaine leaves.”

American forces have destroyed several boats off the Venezuelan coast, allegedly linked to drug trafficking into the United States. At least 43 people were killed in those attacks.

Tren de Aragua, which originated from a Venezuelan prison, is more known for its involvement in contract killings, extortion, and people smuggling than for playing a major role in global drug trafficking.

Maduro was widely accused of stealing last year’s election, and countries including the U.S. have called for him to step down.

Earlier, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez stated on her Telegram account that Maduro had appealed to the country’s Supreme Court of Justice to revoke López’s nationality for his “grotesque, criminal, and illegal call for a military invasion of Venezuela.”

López, a prominent Venezuelan opposition figure who has been exiled in Spain since 2020, has publicly expressed support for the deployment of U.S. ships in the Caribbean and attacks on suspected drug trafficking vessels.

The vice president said that López’s passport will be revoked “immediately,” and he is also accused of promoting “economic blockage” and “calling for the mass murder of Venezuelans in complicity with enemy and foreign governments.”

In response, López dismissed the move on his X account, stating, “According to the Constitution, no Venezuelan born in Venezuela can have their nationality revoked.” He reiterated his support for U.S. military deployment and military actions in the country.

“Maduro wants to take away my nationality for saying what all Venezuelans think and want: freedom,” López wrote. “After having stolen the 2024 election, we agree to pursue all avenues to end the dictatorship,” he added.

López spent more than three years in a military prison after participating in anti-government protests in 2014. He was sentenced to over 13 years in prison on charges of “instigation and conspiracy to commit a crime.”

He was later granted house arrest and, after being freed by a group of military personnel during a political crisis in Venezuela, left the country in 2020.
