NFL underdogs are 30-18 ATS entering Week 4 of the 2021 season – a 62.5 percent cover clip for those point spread pups. That’s the best three-week start for NFL underdogs since 2002, when dogs finished 29-16-1 ATS (64 percent).

But excuse me if I’m not doing cartwheels.

As a guy who prides himself on making his best NFL picks from only teams getting the points (and a guy who couldn’t do a cartwheel to save his life), I’ve seen this song and dance before. You see, underdogs always have an early-season edge. 

In the opening month of the schedule, point spreads are made from public perception and offseason projections formulated from last year’s results. The so-called good teams are rarely as good as we think and ba…

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are on a mission to make the Super Bowl for the third year in a row but first, they’ll have to get by the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship on Sunday afternoon.

And then there were four. 

The NFL odds is down to a pair of conference championship games with a ticket to Arizona on the line. The pressure on the field matches the pressure at the sportsbooks, with bookies and bettors going head-to-head in the NFL odds just three more times this season. It’s enough to make you cry.

If you’re out to be the “champ” this Championship Sunday, you need to get the best of the number to back up your bets. I help you do just that, sizing up the best spreads and totals to bet now and which lines you’ll want to bet later.

Lions vs Ravens predictions

The Detroit Lions are fresh off a 20-6 road victory against the Buccaneers which improved their record to 5-1 straight up and against the spread. Their only loss this season came in overtime against the Seahawks. The Lions have gone a perfect 3-0 on the road,…

It’s only fitting that the first Detroit Lions home playoff game since 1994 features Matthew Stafford. 

However, Stafford will be wearing a visitors jersey as he leads the Los Angeles Rams into battle vs. Jared Goff and Co. 

Both teams will believe they can win this game and the betting odds leave very little to choose between them.

Three weeks into the NFL season we’re starting to get a far better idea of which offenses we can trust, ones we need to avoid, and which players are starting to earn more usage in those offenses.

Now it’s time to turn that information into cold, hard cash with my first touchdown scorer NFL picks for Week 3!

The Belgium national team visit Wales tomorrow night in the first game of qualifying for the World Cup in 2014.

The team from the low countries of Europe have not qualified for a major tournament in a decade, after previously being part of the furniture at earlier international tournaments.

Generation

However, the current generation of players in the Belgium national side is regarded as of the best they have ever produced.

Not only does Belgium have players reaching their peak, but they also have some outstanding youngsters coming through as well.

These should be exciting times for fans of the Red Devils. They have achieved some impressive results in recent times, including a 4-2 friendly win over neighbours Holland.

Roberto Martinez insists Portugal s Euro 2024 quarter-final clash with France will not merely come down to Cristiano Ronaldo s duel with Kylian Mbappe.

Portugal and France face off in Hamburg on Friday, with a last-four meeting with either Germany or Spain the prize for the victor.

Many have billed the match as a head-to-head battle between Mbappe and his idol Ronaldo, with both superstars desperate to hit top form after underwhelming starts to the tournament.

Ronaldo is yet to score from 20 shots worth 2.75 expected goals (xG), the former being a tournament-high tally, and he was in tears at half-time in extra time after seeing a penalty saved in Portugal s last-16 tie versus Slovenia.

Mbappe, meanwhile, suffered a broken nose in France s Group D opener …

The 2017 Golden Boy nominees were announced yesterday and six English players feature on the 25-man shortlist, more than any other nation. Italian newspaper Tuttosport runs the award and the final decision falls to a panel of 30 experienced journalists.

Only players under the age of 21 are eligible, and previous winners include Wayne Rooney, Paul Pogba and, not surprisingly, Lionel Messi. Last year’s Golden Boy was Swansea loanee Renato Sanches, whose contribution to Portugal’s European Championship victory earned him this prestigious title.

This year there are a few players in contention to win it, and a plethora of talent amongst the nominees. Let’s take a look at the top 5 contenders.

Competition: Premier League
Market: Liverpool to finish outside of the top-four
Odds:

With Liverpool set to lose their influential striker Luis Suarez potentially to Barcelona this summer, while the Merseyside club will be in a very demanding Champions League campaign that can often play havoc with league form in 2014/15, it could be a very disappointing Premier League season for the Reds.

They finished runners-up last season to Manchester City, which has earned them their first Champions League campaign for a number of years. The extra fixtures in midweek can cause fatigue ahead of the typical weekend league games, which in turn will affect results if Liverpool don’t have strength in depth.

Their top scorer last season Luis Suarez scored 31 league…
