Week 3 in the NFL features an NFC North clash between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings.

Minnesota is coming off a poor showing on Monday Night Football and will look to bounce back on a short week against a young and hungry Lions squad. NFL betting lines opened with the Vikes as 7-point home favorites, but that line has since slimmed to -6.

Giants vs 49ers TNF Prop Bets: Little Giants

The New York Giants escaped disaster last week, completing a 20-0 halftime comeback to steal a win against the presumed bottom-of-the-barrel Cardinals. The Week 3 odds have them traveling to take on the San Francisco 49ers, who have strung together two impressive wins to start the season. 

The Giants will embark on their trip without both their star running back Saquon Barkley and emerging left tackle Andrew Thomas, while San Francisco may be without breakout wideout Brandon Aiyuk.

Who will step up and emerge on the national stage for Thursday Night Football? TNF odds have the Niners tabbed as -10.5 point favorites with the total sitting at 44.5.

Best NFL Touchdown Props for Week 13: Overlooked No More

Not all NFL prop TD markets are created equal and there is plenty of value to be had with shopping around and getting the best NFL odds available. But that’s just one aspect of creating a profitable touchdown card week to week. 

It’s been tough TD sledding of late, but I’m still +11.35 units on the season thanks to a hot start. Looking over the NFL week 13 odds, I’m backing a 100% route runner for +1,400, hitting a very probable TD at plus money, and finding the best value in a depleted pass-catching group in New Orleans. 

Here are my three best NFL picks for the Week 13 TD prop market.

2024-25 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award Odds: Hutchinson Hurt, Watt Takes Over

Detroit Lions pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson was gathering momentum in the NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds, but a broken tibia suffered vs. the Cowboys in Week 6 has derailed his chances.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, the 2021 DPOY and a four-time finalist for the coveted award, is now the clear frontrunner in this market.

Is this NFL odds race over? Or will a dark horse throw his hat into the ring? Let’s take a look at where things stand with Week 7 on the horizon.

Spain’s Rodri: ‘I try to learn from Busquets but I have always been myself’

Rodrigo Hernández is fine, thanks. Sometimes the most basic question is the most important, and this feels like another of those times. It’s a short while since the army rolled into Spain’s Las Rozas training base and, hours before the European Championship got under way, administered the national team with a coronavirus vaccine he calls “indispensable”. It’s sunny, he’s smiling, and so far the Manchester City midfielder feels good. So do his teammates. Which, after the week they have had, is something.

It’s also a bit late. “Yeah, but we keep out of that really and at last it’s happened,” Rodri says, sitting in the shade, 25km north-west of Madrid and barely 10 minutes from where he grew up, preparing for his first inte…

Euro 2012 Group C: Croatia 0 Spain 1

Spain have qualified for the Euro 2012 quarter-finals after an uninspiring 1-0 win against Croatia at the PGE Arena Gdansk on Monday.

Neither side seemed in any hurry to snatch the initiative throughout, with La Roja s famed tiki-taka football failing to break down a determined defensive barrier set up by Slaven Bilic s men.

The match seemed destined to end in a stalemate, but with two minutes remaining, substitute Jesus Navas walked the ball into the net to confirm Croatia s exit from the tournament.

The defending champions now progress to the last eight as the winners of Group C alongside runners-up Italy, where they will face one of France, England or Ukraine.

Vicente del Bosque named an unchanged line-up from the 4-0 win over Ireland, with two-goal…
