CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday told investors there's a buying opportunity in online sports betting company DraftKings as it experiences a pullback during NFL playoff season. "Now that DraftKings has pulled back a bit from its highs over the past month-and-a-half, and after we saw the incredible public interest in the first weekend of the NFL playoffs, I'm feeling like you're getting a great buying opportunity in this stock," Cramer said. Cramer explained his bull thesis for DraftKings, starting by saying the company has the most market share in the sector. Cramer noted that DraftKings has been growing despite not being able to do business in California and Texas where sports betting is illegal. This stock also tends to do well during the NFL post-season, Cramer said.

The seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers routed the No. 2 Cowboys 48-32 at AT&T Stadium, and what was even more stunning than the Packers knocking off Dallas in the opening round is how easily they did it. Green Bay shredded the vaunted Dallas defense, bottled up its potent offense—and did it all on the Cowboys’ home turf, where the Cowboys were undefeated all season.

The “Peacock Exclusive Wild Card” game garnered 23 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. NBC said in a release that the game sets records for the “most-streamed live event in US history” and was also responsible for the most internet usage ever in the US on a single date, consuming 30% of internet traffic during the Saturday night game. That number also includes viewership figures from the local NBC affiliates in Miami and Kansas City and on the NFL+ mobile app, where the game was also shown outside of Peacock. Notably, the ratings for the exclusively streamed game was up 6% over last year’s primetime AFC Wild Card Game that was shown on NBC’s broadcast network. It recorded an average of 27 million viewers overall, which NBC said at the time made it the most-watched Sunday show since the 2023 Super Bowl.

A Hertz Tesla electric vehicle is displayed during the Hertz Corporation IPO at the Nasdaq Market site in Times Square in New York City, U.S., November 9, 2021. "The reality of EVs and Tesla's being the best-selling car will, at some point, render them the best rental car," Scherr said. Hertz said it would be selling about 20,000 electric vehicles. Tesla's recent decision to lower the price of its vehicles also weighed into Hertz's decision given the impact on deprecation, Scherr added. Hertz had previously set a goal to have a quarter of its fleet be EVs by the end of 2024.

HOUSTON (AP) — From the couch to the playoffs, Joe Flacco had an incredible run with the Cleveland Browns. But his stretch of success came to a sudden end on Saturday, when the Browns lost 45-14 to the Houston Texans in a wild-card playoff matchup. “It’s definitely a shame the way it went down and hard to deal with at the moment,” Flacco said. Watson was under center for the Texans during their last playoff run in 2019 but played just six games for the Browns this season. “I love it here, (but) we’re dealing with so much going through the emotions of this game,” Flacco said.

"It is absolutely ridiculous that my constituents, who already pay for NBC, have to pay even more to watch this game," Ryan wrote in a letter to top NFL and NBC officials. I'm demanding the NFL and NBC stop the BS and offer fans the service they already pay for, or we're coming for your antitrust exemption." "Fans already face exorbitant prices to watch every game during the regular season; they don't deserve to be squeezed even further by greedy corporations," Ryan added. The league added that all the remaining playoff games would be available over the air nationwide, as well as on other platforms.
