Crank the tunes, watch your speed, and keep the mask handy. A not-so-fun road trip awaits.As you're reading this, I'm probably either in Mississippi or Louisiana by now, making the pilgrimage home to see my parents and siblings for the first time since the Fourth of July. I'm going to start right off by saying that yes, I am a bad person for traveling home for the holidays this year, but I'm doing it for two important reasons and I'm trying to do it as safely as possible. After four months alone, I need human contact.Living alone, the first few months of the pandemic made me a little crazy. I eventually needed to make a trip home to be around some other people for a few weeks. While I haven't gotten into such a bad funk since then, I'm going home for a few weeks during the year-end to help prevent it from returning.My trip prep started Friday morning by going and getting a COVID test, making sure I was negative before I risked myself or anyone else I would be going home to...

It's week 15 and the New York Jets are still looking for their first win. It may seem like a gimme game for the Rams who are playing well. Coach McVay has already said that he thinks the players and coaches will remain motivated to give it their all. Both Seattle and Los Angeles are tied for first in the NFC West with a record of 9-4 going into week 15. (The Cardinals are trying to stay in the hunt at 7-6.)Seattle will face the Washington Football Team which poses a tougher challenge than the Jets look to do for the Rams. But, again, it's 2020 and anything can happen.If you're the betting type there's a wide spread, of course, but not as large as when the Chiefs played the Jets. New York only has a 14 point average per game while LA has more than 25 per game.

Rookie Jalen Hurts will get his second official NFL start when the Eagles take on the Cardinals this week, which means Carson Wentz is staying on the sidelines. It's a unique plot twist for the once-hopeful team, but it also means this Sunday afternoon game just got a lot more exciting. So, here's how fans can watch these two quarterbacks dual it out.Most NFL fans love the idea of getting to watch the electrifying Kyler Murray go up against Jalen Hurts this week. We didn't expect it to happen this fast, but that's life in the NFL sometimes. And while Kyler Murray hasn't looked like himself for the past 4-5 weeks and is nursing a shoulder injury, he played pretty great last week vs the Giants.That said, almost all of the attention will be on the Philadelphia Eagles and Jalen Hurts. A struggling (3-8-1) team that upset the 10-2 Saints last week in Jalen's first career start. It's a shocking turn of events, and we could see another upset down in Arizona this week.Currently, the Ea...

A few weeks ago the NFC East was a complete toss up. The Eagles were struggling, but keeping the lead. Now, a month later and with four straight wins under their belt, the Washington Football Team is looking more worthy of their first place position. Despite the success and four straight wins, Washington hasn't reached a .500 record so nothing it set in stone in the division yet.Washington's recent success has really come with solid performances from QB Alex Smith. Unfortunately, during week 14 in the first half of the 49ers game, Smith exited with a calf strain, a similar injury to one that sidelined him a few years ago. Whether Smith makes an appearance during the game with Seattle will likely play a big role in how close and competitive it is.The Seahawks haven't had a perfect season, but it's been solid and they remain a threat for every team they face each week. While Seattle may be the favorite here, they are also tied in their division with the Rams and so they need a win ...

This won't be the least important week 15 game, but as these two last place teams face off, it definitely won't be the most important. The Niners held on through the first half of the season, but as injuries kept hammering the players, the overall performance collapsed. Mostly, the offense has had a difficult time putting up points even when the defense has held steady.The Niners are the slight favorite in this game, but it should be close. The Cowboys collapsed early in the season, but did manage to win last week against the Bengals. If, and this is a big if, the Cowboys can win this week against the 49ers then it would mark the first back-to-back wins for the team this year.Andy Dalton has been shaky overall, but he did put together a solid performance against Cincinnati. If Dallas is out to prove something to themselves then he'll need to put together another stellar performance.San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys: Where and when?The San Francisco 49ers take on the Dall...

One of Amazon's daily deals today includes your choice between the Winix A230 and Winix A231 H13 True HEPA air purifiers. Both devices are on sale for just $79.99, which is 20% off their regular prices. They were $5 lower during Black Friday, but besides that they've never dropped this low before. These air purifiers just released back in September and haven't spent much time on sale at all.Both purifiers work in any small to medium sized space and can cover rooms up to 230 square feet in size. They work hard to make sure whatever air you are breathing is as clean as possible. All of that starts with a pre-filter made with fine mesh. Consider it the tower's first line of defense as it captures the largest airborne particles. The pre-filter is washable, so it helps extend the life of the product by keeping the worst stuff out and making it easy to clean.The activated carbon filter helps reduce odors and volatile organic compounds that arise from cooking, smoke, or pets.

For the first time in what feels like forever, we expect the Miami Dolphins to beat the New England Patriots this weekend. And if history has shown us anything, when these two teams get together in December or January, anything can happen. Adding to that excitement, this is an important game for Miami's playoff chances, so here's how to watch it live.These are two completely different teams than when we saw the "Miracle in Miami" a few years back. Now, the Patriots (6-7) have the once-MVP Cam Newton at quarterback, while the Dolphins (8-5) look good behind rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa. So while Tom Brady is no longer in New England, history has shown us that the Dolphins, for whatever reason, play great against the Patriots in December.Surprisingly the Dolphins are a 2-point favorite, which isn't a lot and means anything can happen, but it's better than being a 10-point underdog as they usually are. More importantly, a win by Miami keeps their wildcard playoff chances alive and they'll...

I think this will be my new main headset going forward on PS5 and PC.Razer is well accustomed to making headsets at this point. The company develops a slew of gaming peripherals for console and PC, with its audio devices being standout accessories. I've had a few different variations of the Razer Kraken over the years, and even wrote our Razer Kraken X review (spoiler, it's a fantastic budget headset), but I haven't been able to try any of Razer's wireless options until today. The BlackShark V2 Pro definitely lives up to its $180 price tag.Because the PS5 just launched, I decided to primarily test these out on that console. Though it's clearly more geared towards PC users, the BlackShark V2 Pro handles PS5 audio just fine, and I'd even say probably as good as Sony's own Pulse 3D wireless headset.At a glanceRazer BlackShark V2 Pro ...

Here's how to watch the game live from anywhere.Vegas odds already have the Minnesota Vikings enjoying a 3.5-point favorite, which isn't a lot when this game could ultimately come down to a field goal or two. Something no Vikings fan wants to see considering they keep finding ways to miss GF and extra points.The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears both sit at 6-7 on the season, hoping to fight for a few more wins in this crazy 2020-21 season.

Xiaomi's first QLED TV delivers great picture quality and costs significantly less than Samsung.To say that Xiaomi has turned the TV segment on its head in India would be an understatement. The brand sold over five million TVs in the country following its entry into the category back in February 2018, and it has been the number one smart TV brand for ten consecutive quarters.Much like its phone business, Xiaomi's momentum with the Mi TV comes from value-focused offerings. With its TVs starting off as low as ₹14,499 ($196), Xiaomi has lowered the bar to entry for those looking to pick up a smart TV in India.While it dominates the budget segment, Xiaomi doesn't really have a premium option to go up against the likes of Samsung, LG, Sony, OnePlus, and others. The manufacturer is now fixing that with the launch of its first QLED TV, the Mi QLED TV 4K 55. The 55-inch TV is now available in India for ₹54,999 ($745), and Xiaomi is significantly undercutting Samsung here.Xiaomi s...

The Fighting Irish already beat Clemson once this season, but the Tigers were without several key starters during the game, most notably star QB Trevor Lawrence. This time around, for the ACC Championship title game, we're expecting another exciting game that could come down to overtime, again. Here's what you need to know and how to watch Clemson vs Notre Dame 2.0.For those that don't follow NCAA Football too close, or hate the ridiculous College Football Playoff structure, this is an important game. The Fighting Irish are (10-0) on the season, ranked #2 nationally, and likely already secured a spot in the CFP. Clemson, on the other hand, is ranked #3 sitting at (9-1) with the only loss being against ND several weeks ago.The reason they're still ranked #3 with a loss is due to Trevor Lawrence missing that game, and several other reasons which are all a topic (or hot debate) for another day. Regardless of how you feel about this ACC championship matchup, it'll surely be one for t...

This unique Saturday Night Football game won't matter too much with Green Bay having already clinched their division. Carolina isn't playing for the postseason with a 4-9 record, sitting in last place in the NFC South.Still, the Packers are still playing for the nicety of a number one seed so this game won't be a complete throw-away. More important than home field advantage with less fans in attendance than normal is the first week bye come the postseason. Aaron Rogers has yet to lead the Packers to a top seed in the NFC since he's been the starting QB. This year could be different.There are a host of scenarios for Green Bay to get there, but the easiest way to start is with a win on Saturday versus the Panthers. As for Carolina, they've had many chances to comeback at the last minute but have not been able to make it happen.

You've probably experienced something like PSN crashing or Spotify going down just when you were planning on using it and know the frustration all too well.Server and service uptime is one place where Google does an incredible job. Google can make plenty of frustratin...
