Opportunity knocks for Mac Jones as the New England Patriots travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the revamped offense of the New York Giants in preseason action Sunday.
Jones has one more game to impress and try to win the No. 1 QB job in New England. However, Cam Newton is back after a brief protocol absence and both quarterbacks will likely see the field Sunday.
The visitors opened as 4.5-point betting favorites before dropping a point, while the total has been bet up to 35.5.

There are a lot of uncertainties with the Thursday night game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, but with Deebo Samuel out, there are some targets to go around and I don’t think the books have corrected the numbers enough when comparing them to the SF pass-catchers Week 12 totals.
Here are my NFL player prop picks for Thursday Night Football’s battle between the 49ers vs. Seahawks. Don’t forget to also check out Jason Logan’s 49ers vs. Seahawks TNF picks and predictions as well as Jared Hochman’s three favorite Christian McCaffrey TNF spotlight props!

With the nation and many more Taylor Swift-related incremental eyes on them last week, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs managed to just barely squeak out a 23-20 win over the struggling Jets. It was yet another subpar performance from Mahomes, completing just 18-of-30 passes for just 203 yards while tossing two interceptions and only adding one passing touchdown to his box score.
In NFL Week 5 odds, they will face off against the struggling Vikings, another presumed lopsided matchup and a much more porous defense for Mahomes and company to get right against. The NFL odds tab them as -3.5 road favorites witht he the total sitting at 53.
Can the two-time MVP and Super Bowl winner get things back on track or is another pedestrian performance on the way?

The Cleveland Browns are one the hottest teams in the NFL after winning three straight games under veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. Now they get a primetime matchup at home on Thursday Night Football against the already eliminated New York Jets.
The Browns are heavy favorites in the Week 17 NFL odds and will be looking to win a fourth straight game behind the fantastic play from wide receiver Amari Cooper.
I’ve taken a closer look at the Amari Cooper odds to give my free NFL picks for the Jets vs. Browns on December 28.

The NFL is back and that means betting on the best plane breakers in the Week 1 odds. I finished +4.5 units a season ago in this article and am looking for an even bigger haul in 2024.
Books might struggle to price touchdown props in the opening week with plenty of rookies and guys in new roles. In saying that, I’m backing a pair of rookie rushers at big plus-money odds and betting on the Houston running game to pay the bills.
I’ve also chosen teams in the Texans, Bills, and Buccaneers who can put up a ton of points against the Colts, Cardinals, and Commanders, respectively. Read more as I break down my favorite touchdown NFL picks for Week 1, and be sure to check out our first TD scorer prop picks.

Jürgen Klopp has said he would have to be a “real idiot” to question the character of his Liverpool team after one bad defeat, but immediate improvement on the Watford performance will be essential to overcome Chelsea in the FA Cup.
Liverpool lost their unbeaten Premier League run in startling fashion at Vicarage Road on Saturday and head to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday looking to avoid a third consecutive away defeat in all competitions. Klopp, expected to make several changes for his first FA Cup fifth-round tie, believes no Liverpool player performed at their usual level at Watford. But he insists faith in a team who remain on course to win the Premier League title in record time is unbroken. “I am not a little bit in doubt about the…
Two days after Southampton held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s last weekend, the club’s new majority owner, Dragan Šolak, looks extremely pleased with his purchase. It was “an absolutely supreme performance playing against probably the best team in the world”, says Šolak, visibly excited by memories of watching his new team end City’s 12-match winning streak.
Born in Serbia and based in Switzerland, Šolak met the Guardian in a suite of offices tucked away in an elegant apartment block in central Milan, one of many places he spends time, he says. He plans to attend as many Southampton games as his travel schedule allows.

Manchester City s bid for a third consecutive Premier League title starts away to West Ham on August 10.
City s first home game sees Tottenham visit the Etihad Stadium the following weekend, while they do not face expected title rivals Liverpool until November with the return date, which City host, set for early April.
A testing run of games from late February clashing with the Champions League knockout rounds sees City face Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool within five league fixtures.
But City, who won their last 14 games to see off Liverpool s challenge last term, appear to have a more straightforward run-in than the Reds on paper with Pep Guardiola s men ending the campaign at home to newly-promoted Norwich City.
Manchester City s 2019-20…
Aaron Rodgers admits he is on the last couple holes of his glittering NFL career, but the 40-year-old fancies his chances of winning his second Super Bowl ring with the New York Jets this season.
Rodgers joined the Jets last year after 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, who he inspired to victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Super Bowl XLV in 2011.
However, the four-time league MVP suffered a ruptured Achilles against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 and missed the remainder of the 2023 season as the Jets went 7-10.
Now fully fit ahead of the Jets 2024 opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, Rodgers is keen to make his 20th campaign in the NFL count as he approaches the end of his career.
I m on the last couple holes, Rodgers told Sky Sports.…
