Last week, we tried to look into the crystal ball and find some look-ahead NFL odds that if we bet right now — before the previous week’s action even happened — we could get some value based on how the actual opening lines would turn out.

For Week 4, we took a swing at two different games… with some interesting results. The Chargers got waxed in Week 3 and have a litany of mounting injuries, so that early -7 did not turn out so well. We did get some good value with Packers -6, as they currently sit around -9.5 against New England, but we also got a boost from the Patriots not having their QB this week.

But hey, it’s the NFL: Random stuff happens, so we’ll take the win on getting the value, learn from the past and keep moving forward to do even be…

We’ve got a tasty Sunday Night Football matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers rolling into Las Vegas to face the Raiders at the Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders are 2.5-point favorites, according to Week 3 odds, and we’re going to key in on star receiver Davante Adams in this week’s SNF spotlight. 

Through two games, Adams has racked up a touchdown on 150 yards receiving, and now the electric wideout faces a tough Steelers defense in what should be an exciting prime-time matchup at Allegiant Stadium.

Here are my favorite NFL picks when it comes to Davante Adams, and make sure to check out our full Steelers vs. Raiders betting picks and SNF player prop picks before placing your wagers on SNF odds!

It’s shaping up to be a soggy set of NFL Week 13 odds, with rain in the forecast for several outdoor games.

But don’t just throw on the raincoat and blindly bet the Under in your NFL picks for those wet Week 13 matchups.

The Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles were drenched to the bone last Sunday and finished with 62 points in regulation, which blew the total out of the water before a thrilling overtime finish.

I investigate the extended forecasts for this week’s schedule and highlight how wind, rain, and maybe snow could impact the NFL odds and outcomes.

It was supposed to be a match made in heaven when the Denver Broncos acquired Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a pirate’s ransom. 

What transpired was two awful seasons — 11 wins in total — and Wilson being a healthy scratch for his team’s final two games of 2023-24, even though the Broncos had a sliver of hope to make the playoffs going into Week 17. 

Fast forward to March 4, and the Broncos have officially released Wilson. 

NFL odds have hit the board for Wilson’s next team. The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves as the frontrunners, but is there a team offering better value out there? Let’s start digging into the market.

Despite how opposite their seasons seem to be going, the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets are just one game apart in the AFC East and a win for Aaron Rodgers & Co. would propel them into first place.

Will the Jets look more alive with Robert Saleh gone and Nathaniel Hackett no longer calling the plays? Can Josh Allen and the Bills turn things around after last week’s loss?

When spring rolls around, the New York Knicks will be in the playoffs. It will be the first time the franchise has made consecutive trips to the postseason since the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons. But, that doesn’t mean that they’re going to win a series — something they haven’t done in almost a decade. The Knicks are going to let you down this season if you believe they’ll have more postseason success than last season’s first-round exit. But, it won’t be because the team or coaching staff underachieved, it’ll be because Knicks fans and the “New York media” set you up for failure — again. Let me explain: Last season, the Knicks finished third (41-31) in the Atlantic Division during a hellacious shortened season overrun by countless injuries to stars — and rol…

South Yorkshire and West Midlands police have agreed a settlement with more than 600 people to compensate them for the false police campaign aimed at avoiding responsibility for the 1989 Hillsborough disaster and blaming the victims instead, which bereaved families have always said was a cover-up.

The forces will pay compensation to families whose relatives were among the 96 men, women and children unlawfully killed at Hillsborough, and to survivors of the disaster, for additional trauma and psychiatric damage caused by the police campaign.

The financial recompense is for the psychiatric injuries the families and survivors have suffered and to pay for treatment or counselling. The civil claims, alleging misfeasance …

Mikel Arteta believes third-placed Newcastle will present “a big test” for his Premier League leaders as Arsenal attempt on Tuesday night to open a 10-point gap on Manchester City.

Arsenal’s 4-2 win at Brighton on New Year’s Eve extended their lead to seven points after City had drawn with Everton. Eddie Howe’s team visit the Emirates having also dropped two points on Arteta’s team on Saturday in being held to a goalless draw by Leeds. City do not play again until they travel to Chelsea on Thursday.

Newcastle are likely to offer the toughest post-World Cup test yet for Arsenal, who in scoring seven goals in their two matches since returning are yet to show many ill-effects from the absence of Gabriel Jes…

Ten Premier League clubs have chased the dollar this summer and included the US on their pre-season schedule. Three have headed east to Japan and, in Tottenham’s case, also to South Korea to satisfy demand to see Son Heung-min in the flesh. Six are utilising the altitude and training camps of Europe for their preparations, which leaves one doing it differently. Or, as Sean Dyche would put it, keeping things real.

Coventry’s Building Society Arena was the latest stop on Everton’s pre-season “tour” on Tuesday night, where Dyche’s team toiled badly in a 3-0 loss to the Championship club. It is three games without a win against lower league sides so far this summer. Their programme commenced with a 3-3 draw at Sligo Rovers that, afte…

Every Dallas Cowboys draft is an adventure, just trying to figure out which direction Jerry Jones will go with the team’s first-round pick. Over the past decade, Jones and company have placed more stock in the draft than in free agency. Contrary to popular belief, Jones, his son Stephen, and the team’s scouting department have done quite well selecting draft picks during this time. This year they have plenty of needs like any other team, so let’s look at the five players that could be announced at No. 26 in the 2023 NFL Draft. Darnell Wright: Tackle, Tennessee source: AP Drafting an offensive lineman in the first round isn’t considered exciting or a Jerry Jones-type move, but sometimes it’s necessary and makes sense. Wright is the fourth-ranked tackle by Pro Football Focus an…
