Everything is on the line this weekend and with injuries and weather reports affecting a lot of possible NFL odds production, it’s important to take some time with your anytime TD bets. It’s not just about finding the highest probable plane-breakers, it’s also about finding what’s not priced in and getting the best number week after week all the way until the Super Bowl odds are decided.
For the Wild Card odds, I’m taking a bit of risk with a backup TE who is returning to the lineup while the starter is hopefully out, backing the better value in Tampa with a receiver, and taking the value that the spread and weather are giving me in Buffalo.
Here are my three best NFL picks for the Wild Card TD props.

Any parent, sibling, friend, coach, or teacher who has ever interacted with anyone between the ages of 13 and 18 is well aware that teenagers can be the most infuriating people on the planet.
Why? Because they know just enough about life to be dangerous.
NFL bettors share a similar state of mind with those fresh-faced, know-it-all teens in Week 3. After watching and wagering on two weeks of NFL action, they think they’ve got it all figured out.
Well, I’ll tell you what I told my teenage son when he said he knew better: “What you don’t know could fill a book.” And in the case of NFL Week 3 odds, a sportsbook. More specifically, the sportsbooks’ pockets.
If Week 2 wasn’t already a harsh lesson for the betting pub…
Mikel Arteta has said he would like to keep Dani Ceballos at Arsenal beyond this season and that talks are continuing with the midfielder’s parent club, Real Madrid, about a deal.
Ceballos has shaken off a mixed start to his loan in north London, which included two months out with a muscle problem, to play an important role in the side’s recent revival. He scored a late winner in the FA Cup quarter-final at Sheffield United last week and his run of form has coincided with Arsenal winning four matches in a row for the first time in 2019-20. Arteta had urged him in January to “take a step forwards” and now appears convinced of his longer-term potential.
“Yeah, we are talking to the club,” Arteta said when …
It was the last trial. The last chance. After countless rebuffs and rejections, a 12-hour bus journey to Belo Horizonte for an open training session with América’s under-17 side awaited him. If he failed to make the grade at the Brazilian club then not only would he have no real future in football, but he also had no way of getting home. A one-way ticket was all Richarlison de Andrade could afford. No safety net. No second chances.
Perhaps in a parallel timeline, Richarlison does not impress the América scouts that morning. Perhaps he turns an ankle and is forced to limp to the sidelines, dejected and distraught. Perhaps he hitches a lift back to his home town of Nova Venécia, just off the eastern seaboard of Brazil, and goes back to se…
The Premier League has written to the mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, rejecting his claim that there was an “abuse of process” in the hearings that led to Everton being docked 10 points for breaching spending rules.
In a letter sent last weekend to the league, Burnham argued that the organisation “sought to introduce a new sanctions policy” during the considerations of an independent commission into Everton’s breaches of profit and sustainability rules, leading to an “arbitrary decision” that “seemed to result from the pressure applied by the Premier League”.

As you read this, your fantasy football team is tied for first place.How many losses do you have this season? Zero! That’s how many.You are basically a genius. Keep it up. Here are 15 “under the radar” players to watch when training camp kicks off next month. If all goes well, these players could give you the type of value in the middle rounds that helps separate you from the competition.Quarterbacks (2)1. Kirk Cousins, Atlanta FalconsHe’s getting older, he’s not flashy in any way, but Cousins is capable of putting up plenty of fantasy points on a rising Falcons team that is loaded with playmakers.2. Daniel Jones, New York GiantsPlease stop laughing. Yes, last season was pitiful, but the Giants remain committed to Jones. He has a rookie wideout who could be a star in …
Former Gilroy High, San Jose State and San Francisco 49ers QB Jeff Garcia, 39, is now an Oakland Raider, and may challenge DeMarcus Russell for the starting role. Good one, Al. [ San Francisco Chronicle] …
Some people are fans of the New York Jets. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the New York Jets. This 2019 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Football Mets. Hey buddy, in New York, it’s JETS FANS who do the groping, thank you very much. Your 2018 record: 4-12, featuring two three-game losing streaks and a six-game losing streak. That’s a lot of Jetsiness to pack into one season, but this franchise rarely, if ever, lets America down when it comes to being terrible in the densest possible concentrations. They got frog-stomped 41-10 by a Bills team quarterbacked by Matt Barkley, which is somehow even more humiliating than losing to Nathan Peterman. They let Fireman Ed, who will almost certainly run for …
Thanksgiving is three days away, so it’s probably (past) time to talk some college hoops. In the spirit of our NBA preview, here is our very timely and holistic 2016-17 NCAA basketball preview. Since you turds couldn’t vote me into writing about Louisiana-Monroe this time, I’ve reviewed 15 college basketball teams that will actually be good come March (once you get past 15, choosing who deserves to be in the top 25 gets pretty dicey, as it’s only Week 2.) If I missed your team here, it’s due to one of the following reasons: there are too many college teams; I am human and occasionally dumb; this list had to end at some point; your team is not good and is in fact Bad; you’ve been following a fake team. But I’ve been in a basketball hole for a bit now, so I will be more tha…
Some people are fans of the New York Jets. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the New York Jets. This 2013 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the 2013 NFL previews so far right here. Your team: New York Buttfumbles Your 2012 record: 6-10. LET'S DO IT AGAIN, EVERYBODY! Your coach: Rex Ryan, who stopped enjoying this job roughly 15 months ago. The fat, swaggering, toe-licking Rex that was here at the turn of the decade has been replaced by a deflated balloon of a man, a man who lost his team ages ago and has already visibly lost his composure in postgame press conferences. It's only the third week of the preseason. This kind of complete systemic breakdown of a shitty team usually happens around November. For the Jets, it's be…
