Boston Sports Morning Report — Wednesday, Oct. 7


Not for nuthin'…. But….. it's a hump-day breather on the Boston board. Nobody played last night, so grab the coffee and let's get set for a busy Thursday.

Short version: Bruins and Celtics both go Thursday night at 7. Pats get the Raiders at Foxborough Sunday at 1. Red Sox season is done.

New England Patriots

  • Yesterday: No game (last out: W 29–26 @ Buffalo Bills, Sun. Oct. 4)
  • Today: No game
  • Next: Sun, Oct. 11 — 1:00 PM ET — vs Las Vegas Raiders (home, CBS)
  • Standings: 2-2 · 2nd in AFC East · Buffalo 3-1 leads · Jets 1-3 · Dolphins 0-4 · No. 7 seed in the AFC right now per ESPN

The Raiders come in 3-1, so this one's a real test. Win it at home and we're over .500 with the Jets up next.

Boston Red Sox

  • Yesterday / Today: No games — season over
  • Next: Offseason
  • Final standings: 87-75 · 3rd in AL East · Eliminated in the AL Wild Card round

Hot stove season. We'll keep an eye on the winter moves.

Boston Celtics

  • Yesterday / Today: No games
  • Next (preseason): Thu, Oct. 8 — 7:00 PM ET — @ Cleveland Cavaliers
  • Then (preseason): Sat, Oct. 10 — 8:00 PM ET — vs Philadelphia 76ers (home, NBA TV)
  • Regular-season opener: Tue, Oct. 20 — 3:00 PM ET — @ Detroit Pistons (as listed by ESPN)
  • Status: Preseason · 2026-27 season not started

One more sleep until the green is back on the floor.

Boston Bruins

  • Yesterday: No game (last out: L 1–4 vs Ottawa Senators, Mon. Oct. 5)
  • Today: No game
  • Next: Thu, Oct. 8 — 7:00 PM ET — vs Utah Mammoth (home, NESN)
  • Then: Sat, Oct. 10 — 1:00 PM ET — vs Philadelphia Flyers (home, NESN)
  • Standings: 2-2-0 · 4 points · tied for 4th in the Atlantic with Ottawa, Tampa Bay and Detroit after Tuesday's games (Florida 8, Buffalo 6, Toronto 6)

Two home games to shake off that Ottawa stinker before the B's head out on the long West Coast swing.

That's the Wednesday board, folks. Enjoy the quiet night, and Thursday it's Bruins and Celtics at 7.

MOAM Out.
