The Las Vegas Raiders, one of the biggest surprises of the 2021 season, take a 2-0 record into a Week 3 clash at home against the Miami Dolphins.

The Raiders have wins over Baltimore and Pittsburgh, putting up almost 800 total yards passing against two of the top defenses in the league. Enter the Dolphins, who are not only licking their wounds after a 35-0 shutout loss versus Buffalo in Week 2 but will play without QB Tua Tagovailoa. That has Miami getting 4.5 points on the road in Sin City.

Here are our free NFL picks and predictions for Dolphins at Raiders on September 26.

Four great matchups take place across NFL Divisional Round weekend, with the two conference No. 1 seeds entering the picture and joining last weekend’s winners. 

Here’s a closer look at my two favorite NFL parlay picks with a wide range of bets.

Monday night features America’s Team facing off against the GOAT with a spot in the Divisional Round on the line.

For the Dallas Cowboys, a one-and-done playoff run is unthinkable (and perhaps even the end of the Mike McCarthy era). Still, there’s something in the air with the aura of Tom Brady and this Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, who are lurking dangerously despite a turbulent year. 

Whether you’re wagering on the Cowboys to show up and take care of business on the road or on another chapter in Brady’s playoff legacy, there’s a stack of tasty prop bets to weigh up for what feels like a tight, one-score game.

Here are my favorite NFL prop picks for Cowboys vs. Buccaneers on January 16.

With the increased popularity of betting touchdown props, it’s a little harder these days for bettors to find value in this weekly NFL props market. However, because of price discrepancies across books, having multiple outs is the best way to be profitable with the prop. 

Each week I’ll find my three best touchdown props among the NFL odds for the Sunday slate. They might not be high-win probable plays, but if they aren’t, they’ll certainly be +EV. I’m up 16.295 units over five weeks and have hit nine of the posted 15 TD plays. 

For Week 6, I’m back on a familiar winner, hitting a player who has the most yards without a score in the league, and buying the dip on a receiver in Jacksonville.

We’re close to putting a bow on another fantastic regular season of NFL football and like every other season before it, there’s been standout teams and standout bets, for reasons both good and bad.

Hopefully, if you’ve been a regular consumer of this article, you’ve been able to take advantage of some of the standout NFL betting trends that I’ve been pinpointing every week. While some cooled off as trends tend to do, others have stood the test of time and remained consistent moneymakers throughout the season.

With that in mind, here’s my list of my favorite trends that I uncovered and cashed in on during the 2023 season. Keep in mind, some of these are in play in Week 18.

The Jim Harbaugh era is off on the right foot for the Los Angeles Chargers, who aim to improve to 2-0 when they cross the country to play the Carolina Panthers in Week 2.

Los Angeles is a heavy road favorite in Carolina, and my Chargers vs. Panthers prediction is for J.K. Dobbins to be a multi-faceted threat in a likely Bolts win.

I run down the spread and Over/Under total for this non-conference clash and give my best NFL picks for  September 15.

Ed Woodward has warned it may not be “business as usual” for Manchester United in the next transfer window, the executive vice-chairman saying that spending hundreds of millions of pounds on a player could ignore the financial impact of coronavirus.

Covid-19 has caused the suspension of football since early March and there is uncertainty over when it will return. Woodward pointed to this when assessing the level of finance Ole Gunnar Solskjær may have to strengthen his squad.

Zilina is a pretty town of squares and churches with a population of a little more than 80,000 that sits at the confluence of three rivers in the mountains of north-west Slovakia. It was, frankly, an incongruous place for a revolution in English football to begin, but it was there in 2003 that Chelsea played their first game under Roman Abramovich, a routine 2-0 win over MSK in a Champions League qualifier. Their last may come at Norwich in a couple of weeks, or perhaps at home to Brentford a fortnight after that, depending how soon a buyer emerges and how quickly the deal can be finalised. But it will be soon and, a couple of months after completing the full set of possible trophies by winning the Club World Cup, the Abramovich era at Chelsea will be over.

“We know this isn’t normal,” said Aleix García and yet, he insisted, nor was it chance. Either way, it was historic. At 8.20pm on 27 September 2023, the other García, Eric, headed in the goal that put their team into the lead against Villarreal, on course for another win, to carry them above Real Madrid, above Barcelona and above everyone else. This isn’t supposed to happen, but it had. On the long bus journey home, heading up the east coast in the dark, even the manager admitted he had scrolled through his phone and taken the screengrab that proved it. Pop to the kiosko on Thursday morning, if he could find one, and there it is to cut out and keep: Girona Futbol Club are top of the league.

A record six quarterbacks were selected in the top 12 picks in 2024.Take it from this part-time fortune teller: One or a few of them could be very good this season. One or a few of them could fall on their face or watch from the sideline.Wait, you wanted specifics? Um, sure thing, you got it.But remember that we said *part-time* fortune teller. So when you read these rankings of how the first-round rookies will fare this season, from No. 1 to No. 6, know that we could turn out wrong. We won’t know for sure until the real answers reveal themselves during the season on any given Sunday (or Monday) (or Thursday) (or Friday) (or Saturday) (OK, let’s get on to the list).1.    Caleb Williams, BearsThe Bears have a long history of drafting first-round quarterbacks who failed to meet expect…
