Aaron Judge tied Roger Maris' American League single-season home run record of 61 on Wednesday, but the AL MVP frontrunner hasn't homered since, and you might be beginning to ask yourself whether or not Judge is going to break Maris' record.

NFL Week 4: What we learned — Overs hit more than unders, and guess who's still unbeaten?

For the first time this season, the over hit more than the under in Week 4, and the Eagles are now the NFL's only unbeaten team thanks to a come-from-behind win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
