I’ve been holding my breath, wondering if the NFL season would implode just after it started. But here we are, looking ahead to a fourth week of games.

What’s even more fun? Both of our “local” teams — the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears — are 3-0 heading into this weekend. Sorry, Vikings fans, it’s been rough.

And that’s not all, folks.

Against all odds and common sense, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox are all playing this week in Major League Baseball’s postseason.

Here’s a bonus that even non-MLB fans can appreciate: The Brewers, by locking up one of the final two National League playoff spots (the St. Louis Cardinals took the other one), have set up a showdown with none other than our own Gavin Lux. Holy Bernie Brewer!

Lux, an Indian Trail graduate who was the 20th overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, is a second baseman for the top-ranked Los Angeles Dodgers.

The expanded postseason format features eight teams in both the National and American League playing best-of-3 series in the Wild-Card round.

Baseball fans can enjoy a whopping eight games Wednesday and, possibly, another eight on Thursday. The Cubs host the Florida Marlins (1 p.m., ABC); the White Sox play at the Oakland A’s (2 p.m., ESPN); and Lux and the rest of the Dodgers host the Brewers at night (9 p.m., ESPN).
