Month: October 2024

Tonight’s edition of Monday Night Football brings us the marquee game of the week when Philadelphia travels to Kansas City to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. 

This is a Super Bowl 57 rematch and the Eagles will be looking to exact some revenge on the Chiefs for last year’s loss in the big game game. 

Both teams can score points at will and the NFL odds have done very little to separate the two sides with the Chiefs sitting as -2.5 home favorites. 

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 Eagles/Chiefs directly from legal sports betting sites?

Clyde Edwards-Helaire may have a ring on his hand, but he’s got unfinished business in the latest Super Bowl odds.

The Kansas City Chiefs running back was a last-minute scratch in Super Bowl LVII in 2023, despite being activated ahead of the Chiefs’ win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

In fact, Edwards-Helaire didn’t discover his game status until he walked into the locker room and noticed he didn’t have a jersey laid out. Rough.

Before that, CEH was a rookie on Kansas City’s 2021 AFC title team that lost to Tom Brady and Tampa Bay in Super Bowl LVI. He was one of the few bright spots for the Chiefs in that 31-9 loss, totaling 87 yards of offense.

Needless to say, Edwards-Helaire is chomping at the bit to get back on the NFL …

I am coming off the best week to date in my weekly NFL ATS picks as we went 10-5-1 in Week 5. 

The record, while good in its own right, still only got me second place in my weekly NFL pool, so I vow to do one better and give you at least two more winners this week. 

Join me as I break down my best Week 6 ATS NFL picks below.

On the heels of The Sunday Times report detailing Mohamed bin Hammam's successful campaign to purchase the 2022 World Cup for Qatar, FIFA vice president Jim Boyce told BBC Radio 5 he would support a re-vote for a new host. Boyce says the claims in the Times report would have to be proven, but if they were and the recommendation was a re-vote, FIFA would support it. FIFA has been conducting its own investigation into allegations of fraud for both the 2018 and 2022 bid awards and investigator Michael Garcia is scheduled to meet with Qatar officials Monday. "If Garcia reports that wrongdoing happened for the 2022 vote then it has to be looked at very seriously," Boyce told 5 live's Sportsweek programme. "The Fifa executive committee are 100% behind Garcia,"…

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has told Manchester United’s players to keep cool heads when they play Tottenham on Sunday as they look to avenge a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of José Mourinho’s side.

Anthony Martial was sent off in the 28th minute in the humiliating October defeat at Old Trafford after retaliating to an elbow from Érik Lamela with a push in the Argentinian’s face. Solskjær says Martial was “conned” into reacting and he does not want to see a repeat in London as they look to put a club record-equalling defeat in the Premier League era firmly behind them.

Every generation of Welsh football fans finds their own special moment of heartbreak. I wasn’t alive to witness the great robbery of 1977 when a Maradona-grade handball decision sent Scotland to the 1978 World Cup at our expense and I was a touch too young to have my hopes and dreams brutally crushed by Paul Bodin’s missed penalty of 1993, which would have taken us to USA 94. Instead, I had to wait for 2003 at the Millennium Stadium, watching Wales take on Russia for a spot at the 2004 Euros. It was a match so drab that our fans started chanting “USA, USA, USA”, as though all we had to get excited about was the cold war. In the end, that chant turned out to be weirdly prescient. A few days after our 0-1 defeat, one of the Russian players, Yegor Titov, tested …

BIGGER CUP AHOY

Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are preparing to battle it out in the pinnacle of European football on Saturday night at Wembley, in front of 25,000 sponsors supping on pints of Gazprom and a handful of supporters from each club. This will be the end of Big Cup as we know it. After decades of appeasing the suits without causing too much harm to the competition, it seems Uefa has finally reached an end game when it comes to all that is logical with football.

MORE TEAMS! MORE GAMES! MORE MONEY! Let us all rejoice in the new Big Cup format that will hit fans in the pocket, knacker the players further and, by the time 31 May 2025 comes around, leave the Allianz Arena to witness so…

On Saturday night, undefeated UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey took on Cat Zingano, a strong and undefeated fighter in her own right, and one of maybe two women alive who, on paper at least, possibly had a chance to at least maybe show Rousey something. Then the fight started, and it became immediately obvious that Zingano had no chance.
Zingano sprinted across the cage, tried to land a flying knee, and missed. The two clinched, then Zingano pulled Rousey to the ground. For a fraction of a second, it looked like Zingano—a serious jiu-jitsu player—was onto something. And then Rousey cartwheeled, kicking her legs above her head, briefly hanging in the air, and landing in top position behind Zingano before the challenger could react. Then Rousey isolated Zingano&#x…
