Edin Dzeko scored a brace as Manchester City defeated Norwich 4-3 at Carrow Road
Yesterday’s Premier League games produced an amazing 35 goals.
The game of the day was at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal defeated Newcastle 7-3 in Saturday’s late kick-off.
Theo Walcott opened the scoring with a finish right out of the Thierry Henry book of finishing.
Newcastle got a deserved equaliser just before half-time, Demba Ba’s free-kick deflecting off Jack Wilshere and wrong-footing Wojciech Szczesny in the Arsenal goal.
Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fired the Gunners into the lead early in the second half. Sylvain Marveaux then cancelled out Arsenal’s lead with a close-range finish.
Lukas Podolski gave the Gunners the lead, only fo…
The NFL Preseason rumbles on as the Los Angeles Rams travel to face the Denver Broncos in Week 3.
Both squads are still looking for their first win — the Rams dropped back-to-back games to the Chargers and Raiders by a final score of 34-17, while the Broncos have fallen by a single point in each of their first two games.
Bettors and oddsmakers alike view Denver as the superior side. Looking at NFL betting odds, the Broncos are favored by nearly a touchdown for Saturday’s content.
Is that the correct line for a game between two struggling teams that would both like to end the preseason on a high note? I break that down by looking at Sean Payton’s track record in final preseason games and more in my NFL picks and predic…
Sunday night is capped off with a pivotal AFC West battle between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead, with Mahomes and Co. entering as 9.5-point NFL betting favorites.
Andy Reid is coming off the bye and we all know what that means. Can Javonte Williams expose a weak Kansas City rush defense with a likely bigger role? Can Mahomes and the offense hit some big plays versus Vic Fangio’s defense?
Find out in our free prop picks for Sunday night’s Broncos vs. Chiefs battle.

Week 6 of the NFL season sees the first bye weeks coming into play, as the Lions, Texans, Raiders, and Titans will all sit this Sunday out.
Though there will be two fewer games on the wagering slate, there are still several strong sides to consider. Here are our NFL parlay picks for Week 6.

The NFL season will be 22% of the way through when Week 4 kicks off. And it’s at this point that books and bettors start to see teams for who they really are.
We have three weeks of results, with spreads and totals tightening and any misconceptions or over-evaluations correcting quickly. That means getting the best of the number is more important than ever.
And getting that best number requires jumping on opening NFL odds or waiting for lines to move later in the week. It’s what we do here every Sunday night, as I headline a spread and total to take now and ones to push pause on for later.

The Miami Dolphins are one of the best teams in the AFC and at home, on Monday Night Football, they should be able to handle the lowly Tennessee Titans (4-8). The Dolphins are riding high, having won three straight, while the Titans head to South Beach with just one win over their last five games.
Can the Titans defense slow down Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and the high-flying Dolphins offense? Or will they be stuck between a rock and a hard place at Hard Rock Stadium?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Titans/Dolphins directly from legal sports betting sites?

The Baltimore Ravens left football bettors with a bad taste in their mouths last season.
After a palatable 2023 run pumped out a 12-6 ATS record, Baltimore belly-flopped in the AFC title game, mustering only 10 points in that loss to the soon-to-be champion Chiefs. It was an abrupt end for a team that ranked Top 6 in EPA per play and DVOA on both sides of the ball.
The Ravens are once again projected to finish near the top of the league in those all-holy analytics in 2024, and the NFL odds reflect that forecast. Baltimore is an AFC futures darling and is a favorite in 14 of its look-ahead lines despite facing one of the toughest schedules in the land. That rough road keeps eight of those 17 spreads within a field goal (-3 to +3).
Should Baltimore …
Tammy Abraham is back to square one with his troublesome ankle, with rest prescribed for the Chelsea striker over the weekend while his club play at Bournemouth and Frank Lampard unsure when he will be able to call on him again.
Abraham sustained the injury against Arsenal in January when he slipped and banged into the advertising boards at Stamford Bridge but, with Lampard having used his three substitutions, he battled on.

There were fears of a hairline fracture, although scans were clear, and Abraham started Chelsea’s next Premier League game at Leicester after a pain-killing injection only to feel discomfort again.
Bayern Munich recorded a 5-0 friendly win over Eupen on Tuesday to start 2017 on a high.
The reigning Bundesliga champions won their final six matches of 2016 and will be looking to build on that form in the second half of the season as they chase the treble.
Head coach Carlo Ancelotti fielded a strong starting XI against the Belgian side, including Mats Hummels, Arjen Robben and Robert Lewandowski, and it was former Borussia Dortmund defender Hummels who opened the scoring from close range late in the first half.
Ancelotti made seven changes to his line-up at half-time, but that did not stop the Bavarians from doubling their lead early in the second half via promising youngster Fabian Benko.
Bayern continued to dominate and it was Arturo Vidal who added…
Southampton secured an immediate return to the Premier League after Adam Armstrong was the hero in a 1-0 victory over Leeds United in the Championship play-off final.
Saints top scorer Armstrong provided the decisive first-half strike at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, with his 24th league goal of the season sending Russell Martin s side straight back into England s top division.
The pair had scored a combined 197 goals this campaign, but just the one finish was enough to settle what was only the third second-tier play-off final between two sides relegated the previous year.
Southampton join Leicester City and Ipswich Town in winning top-flight promotion, while Leeds – who hit the crossbar through Daniel James late on – must prepare for at least another campaign i…
