The 2022 NFL season may not kickoff until Thursday, September 8, with the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Buffalo Bills as 1-point chalk, but NFL betting season is officially underway following the schedule release last Thursday.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Super Bowl 57 Prop Odds and Prediction: Another Low Receiving Output

The Kansas City Chiefs will be looking to utilize their nearly unstoppable passing game tonight when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. 

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a lot of weapons to choose from in the aerial attack. Yet while Kansas City has spread the ball around for much of the year, one man has been overlooked by Super Bowl odds: wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster.

Keep reading to see how that dynamic impacts my favorite Super Bowl player props for Smith-Schuster. Also, be sure to read our extensive Super Bowl picks and coverage before you place your bets on the big game!

Steelers vs Rams Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 7: Poor Matchup Both Ways

The Pittsburgh Steelers are fresh off a bye week and flying to the West Coast to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Despite struggling to move the ball on offense, the Steelers are 3-2 and will aim to upset a Rams squad that is 3-3 and coming off a lopsided victory vs. the Cardinals.

NFL odds opened with the Rams as 3-point home favorites and the Over/Under at 42.5 for this Week 7 showdown. Here are my best free Steelers vs. Rams free NFL picks and predictions for October 22.

Best NFL Touchdown Props for Wild Card: Put Faith in Godwin vs Eagles

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.

NFL Week 3 Picks & Predictions: Re-Charged L.A. Rolls Into Pittsburgh

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 keen to keep Dani Ceballos at Arsenal beyond this season

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 …

Back in the last-chance saloon: Richarlison and Everton beat the odds again

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…

Premier League denies Burnham’s claim of ‘abuse of process’ in Everton case

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”.
