The Chicago Cubs went from being tied for the best record in the NL as of yesterday morning to possibly facing elimination from the postseason tonight. After the Cubs lost the NL Central tiebreaker to Milwaukee, 3-1, they were forced to host tonight's one-game, winner-take-all wild card contest against Colorado. Cubs fans are hoping it's not more of the same after being held to three hits and one run against the Brewers. For their part, the Rockies also struggled offensively in a 5-2 loss to the Dodgers that decided the NL West Division champion. To get Dunkel's pick for this game, click HERE.

As for the rest of the MLB postseason, it looks to heavily favor the American League as the top five spots in Dunkel's final regular season rankings are occupied by AL teams. The Boston Red Sox lead the way after a franchise-record 108 wins, while the Astros and Yankees round out the top three after reaching the century mark in wins as well.

The chase for Lord Stanley's Cup begins on Wednesday with four games on the schedule, including the defending-champion Washington Capitals hosting the Boston Bruins. To get Dunkel's pick for this game and the full NHL schedule, click HERE.

In college football, Ohio State kept is No. 2 ranking in Dunkel's college football index with a come-from-behind 27-26 win at Penn State, while No. 1 Alabama had little trouble with Louisiana-Lafayette, 56-14. To get Dunkel's complete FBS and FCS rankings, click HERE.

And in the NFL, the LA Rams remained undefeated and took over the top spot in Dunkel's NFL rankings after a 38-31 win over the Vikings. After suffering their second loss of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles drop down to No. 2 while the 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs are at No. 3.
