Month: October 2024

Even when Travis Kelce’s numbers dipped in the last few weeks of the regular season, there was always a sense that he had a playoff gear in reserve — and he’s duly cranked up his production in the postseason to push the Chiefs to the brink of another Super Bowl trip.

The latest NFL odds expect Kelce to deliver more magic in Sunday’s AFC Championship, with the lines for his receptions and receiving yards props pointing to the kind of busy afternoon that might even overshadow Taylor Swift’s presence at M&T Bank Stadium.

Here, we take a closer look at the Travis Kelce odds for props markets in this weekend’s clash against a physical Baltimore Ravens defense.

With Kansas City, San Francisco, and Detroit all winning in Week 4, the top of the 2025 Super Bowl odds board looks as you’d expect entering Week 5. 

Where it gets a little murky is in the middle of the pack with the likes of Minnesota and Washington outperforming their preseason expectations and teams like New York and Dallas extremely underperforming.

No more bubbles. No more first four in or out. No more teams wondering if they made the most exclusive group in college basketball. Only 68 teams of the 350+ Division-I squads have a chance to become national champions now. Before the First Four begins on Tuesday, we’ve ranked every team that hopes to win the whole shebang. From the No. 1 seeds to No. 16 seeds that’ll lose to fellow No. 16 seeds, everyone’s here. Of course, upsets will happen and there has only been one occasion ever where all four No. 1 seeds made it to the Final Four. And Saint Peter’s unlikely run to the Elite Eight last season as a No. 15 seed won’t be replicated. So where does every team rank heading into the tournament? Here you go. 64.

Jürgen Klopp said he is still waiting for the first benefit of Brexit following the Football Association’s announcement of its ramifications for English football.

The FA, in conjunction with the Premier League and EFL, confirmed this week that English clubs cannot sign foreign players until they are 18, or more than three overseas players under 21 in a single transfer window once the UK leaves the EU on 1 January. Other rules include work permits, allocated on a points-based system, for all transfers from EU nations.

Klopp, a long-time Brexit critic, believes the Home Office would have enforced greater restrictions but for resistance from many within the game, and he considers the transfer rules another example o…

Bournemouth and Everton are interested in signing Ben Brereton Díaz from Blackburn Rovers, who are considering an £8.5m bid from Nice for the Chile striker.

Brereton Díaz is one of the most prolific forwards in the Championship and Blackburn face a fight to keep him before the transfer window shuts. The 23-year-old striker’s contract expires next year and his performances have attracted the attention of a number of clubs.

England (4-2-3-1)

Jordan Pickford England’s No 1 made a smart stop from Rodrygo during the first half. Powerless to stop Endrick scoring Brazil’s late winner. 6

Kyle Walker The captain raced back to clear Vinícius Júnior’s shot off the line but soon limped off with a muscle injury. 6

John Stones Solid at centre-back for much of the contest, only to be caught out when he lost Vinícius Júnior for the goal. 5

Harry Maguire Had his horror moment in the first half, gifting Rodrygo a chance with a backpass. His place has to be under review. 5

Ben Chilwell Did not offer conclusive proof that he can replace Luke Sha…

Roster turnover, scheduling quirks, and chemistry—despite the confusion of one of the coaches included below as to what the word means—can all impact a season win total.With the kickoff of the 2024 campaign fast approaching, bettors might consider the following when wagering on win total unders:. Colorado, Under 5.5 wins +120 (BetMGM)The showmanship characteristic of his dual NFL and MLB career and indicative of the initial months of Deion Sanders’ tenure as Colorado head coach have given way to petty quarrels with local media. Spats over such a quizzical topic as the definition of the word “bolster” feel like misplaced focus for a program coming off a 1-8 stretch to close the previous season, especially with FCS powerhouse and historic power-conference derailer North Dakota S…

Who is the best pass rusher? That is a question that has buried itself deep into the minds of NFL fans for decades. It’s never a clear-cut answer. There have been times where the answer should’ve been clear, like in the early-to-mid 2010s when J.J. Watt was wreaking havoc on opposing offensive linemen. More recently, it should have been clear in the late 2010s, as Aaron Donald racked up three DPOY Awards. In 2021 though, the answer has seemed much muddier. Googling this question could result in a myriad of players being named by various people, but two players seem to come up more consistently than any others: Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt and Cleveland’s Myles Garrett. It makes sense. These two currently lead the NFL in sacks and have not only been dominant since entering the NFL, …
