Month: October 2024

It’s a coast-to-coast contest when the Washington Commanders cross the country to face the Seattle Seahawks and settle the Week 10 odds.

Washington earned just its second win in the last seven outings at New England last weekend and now travels for the second straight game, which also serves as its fourth road trip in the past five weeks.

Seattle, on the other hand, is still stinging from its worst showing of the season. The Seahawks were blasted by 30 points in Baltimore last time out and hope the return home can help them cover the NFL odds before a daunting schedule stretch ahead.

I break down the spread and Over/Under total for this 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff and give my free NFL picks and predictions for Commanders at Seahawks on November 12.

The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are heading to Sin City for Super Bowl LVIII.

Super Bowl odds are on the board for the February 11 championship game in Las Vegas, kicking off a two-week window of action that will shape and mold the point spread, moneyline, and Over/Under total.

I dive into the opening NFL odds for Super Bowl LVIII and tell you which lines to bet now and which ones you may want to wait to wager on for your NFL picks.

What a difference two weeks makes.

Alarm bells have been replaced by Super Bowl hype for the surging Baltimore Ravens, and my Ravens vs. Bengals predictions expect the visitors to come out swinging in the first half.

Read all about it in my NFL picks for this Sunday October 6 showdown.

Ravens vs Bengals prediction

My best betRavens first-half moneyline (-125 at BetMGM)

My analysisWith Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry powering a ferocious run game, the Baltimore Ravens are built to play with a lead. Judging by their past two outings, it’s a working formula.

Riding fast starts equal parts explosive and bruising, Baltimore stunned the Buffalo Bills on the way to a 21-3 half-time advantage last Sunday — a week…

Jamal Musiala has pledged his international future to Germany over England. The 17-year-old, who became Bayern Munich’s youngest Champions League goalscorer in Tuesday’s 4-1 victory over Lazio, was born in Stuttgart to a German mother and British-Nigerian father, but moved to England with his family as a seven-year-old and has represented both countries at youth level.

Musiala was spotted by Chelsea as a youngster before swapping their academy for Bayern’s two years ago.

He told The Athletic of his decision to play for Germany: “I’ve thought about this question a lot. What is best for my future? Where do I have more chances to pl…

Jürgen Klopp has rejected the hangover theory throughout the search for answers to Liverpool’s inconsistent start but, if a punishing price has been paid for last season’s exertions and the deflating final week, he will hope for a cure at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli away is no one’s idea of a gentle introduction to a Champions League campaign. The Italian club have not lost any of their past eight home games in the competition, are unbeaten this season under Luciano Spalletti, and Liverpool have not won in three visits to the stadium. The past two trips, in the group stage, brought laboured performances and late defeats under Klopp. It provides the perfect setting, therefore, for Liverpool to demonstrate the best of last sea…

Pep Guardiola had talked about the need to suffer before this game. OK then. It’s a deal. This was a gripping, gruelling, sky blue migraine of a football match, one that Manchester City really didn’t deserve to lose, but which somehow always felt like it was slipping from their grasp even during a second half when City seemed to be very slowly, carefully, methodically pulling the legs off this Real Madrid team.

There will be no double-treble now after Madrid’s victory on penalties. But City still played like champions of Europe for long periods. They took Madrid into a horrible place. These are not footballers accustomed chasing and covering, waiting for the blow to fall. At times it felt as though Real spent the last hour of this game…

Don’t feel guilty if you refrained from watching the NFL preseason. We’re sure you had better things to do than watch Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback Trey Lance get picked off five times on a Saturday afternoon. Lance had that dismal performance in Dallas’ preseason finale, a 26-19 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers that dropped the Cowboys to 1-2. Sure, the games didn’t matter, but Dallas’ performance during the preseason certainly didn’t inspire confidence for a team that now has a washed-up Ezekiel Elliott in its backfield and watched star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb miss all of camp due to a contract dispute.But plenty of teams did make headway this preseason, and here are three that may have made the most:Denver BroncosMaybe Denver really does have something special in qu…
