Ladies and gentlemen, for the final time during the 2023-24 regular season, it is Teaser Time!
Week 18 NFL odds can be difficult to navigate, so if you decide to bet, bet with caution because you’re at risk of getting burned. Even as I write this article on Friday afternoon, I’m sure we’ll see some significant line moves between now and these games kicking off as more big-time players are officially announced as inactive.
One mistake you shouldn’t make with your NFL Week 18 predictions, whether they be teaser bets or otherwise, is to assume specific teams and players aren’t motivated because they have nothing to play for. Even with backups seeing significant minutes this week, don’t you think those players are eager to…
The Los Angeles Rams stay on the road to begin the season as they head to the desert to take on the Arizona Cardinals. Both teams are looking for their first wins after one-score losses in Week 1.
Our Rams vs. Cardinals predictions are going back to the well with Cooper Kupp after a stellar performance last week. Read more in my NFL picks below.
Rams vs Cardinals prediction
My best betCooper Kupp Over 7.5 receptions (-160 at BetMGM)
My analysisLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp battled injuries in each of the past two seasons but looked fully healthy in Week 1 against the Lions, racking up 14 catches on 21 targets (!) for 110 yards.
With sophomore wideout Puka Nacua suffering an in-game injur…
Paris Saint-Germain have been awarded the Ligue 1 title after the season was ended amid the Covid-19 crisis, the French League (LFP) said on Thursday.

PSG had a 12-point lead over second-placed Marseille when the season was suspended as part of French government’s measures to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus last month. The LFP also crowned Lorient as Ligue 2 champions in a conference call.
“We have decided there would be two promotions and two relegations,” Didier Quillot, the chief executive of the French League, told a news conference. It means Amiens and Toulouse will be relegated and Lorient and Lens will b…
Dele Alli first saw the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of March 2019 – just before the opening game against Crystal Palace. He did not want to see it half-done; he had chosen to wait until it was finished in order to enjoy the full impact. It would blow him away.
Inside the empty bowl, Alli’s eyes were drawn towards the 17,500-capacity South Stand and he knew what he was most looking forward to – seeing it packed and scoring in front of it. It is reflective of how Alli’s Spurs career fizzled out that he managed to do so only twice – the late equaliser against Watford in October 2019 and the touch and finish in the win over Bournemouth the following month.

Bayern Munich struck twice in the second half to come from two goals down and snatch a 2-2 draw at RB Leipzig but the champions dropped to third in the Bundesliga with their second draw of the season.
Goals from Leroy Sané and Harry Kane cancelled out Leipzig’s first-half lead but the result left Bayern on 14 points, two behind the leaders, Bayer Leverkusen. Leipzig, who host Manchester City in the Champions League next week, are fifth, a further point behind.
“Two very different halves from our perspective,” the Bayern coach, Thomas Tuchel, said. “In the first we started well but only for the first two minutes and missed that huge chance.
“We were too slow, made too many mistake…
The Atlanta Hawks were the big winners on NBA Draft Lottery night last week.But, were they?In what is largely viewed as the weakest draft in a decade or more, the Hawks are expected to choose from a couple of French big men – neither of whom is likely to become Victor Wembanyama.BetMGM offered some updated betting stats, with Bronny James actually (foolishly?) receiving 22.5 percent of No. 1 overall tickets.Maybe that’s just something to keep and save as a memento because he’s not going No. 1.Follow the money: The same BetMGM info shows projected top pick Alex Sarr receiving 81.4 percent of the handle. That’s called “smart money,” folks. UConn center Donovan Clingan was second, at 15 percent of the current handle.Not surprisingly, the list pegs Bronny as the No. 1 liability fo…
The Minnesota Vikings head into the 2022 NFL season with one of the most explosive offenses in the league. They feature one of the most productive quarterback-wide receiver duos from last year in Kirk Cousins and Justin “Mr. Griddy” Jefferson, plus a second Pro Bowl WR, Adam Thielen. Minnesota finally caught up with the times and brought in an offensive-minded head coach in Kevin O’Connell. If the Vikings plan on winning the NFC North during the Cousins era, now is the time. This Vikings offense is loaded with weapons, and we haven’t even mentioned Dalvin Cook. And their schedule to open the year is relatively favorable. The Vikings play six games before their bye in Week 7, and only two of those are against playoff teams from last year. They open with Green Bay at home, then tr…
Fuck it, it's Marlins Day. The Marlins have the third-smallest stadium capacity in baseball, and that's still way too large for the anemic crowds they've been drawing. So they're going to shut down the entire upper deck for certain weeknight games. This, according to a team spokesman, "will give an overall better fan experience." Who likes math? Marlins Park holds 37,442. Average announced attendance, through 16 home dates, is 18,864. (That's the number of tickets sold and otherwise distributed. The actual number of people in the park, judging from the difference between last year's "announced" and "turnstile" attendances, might be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000.) There's really no reason that few people deserv…
A Cristiano Ronaldo-less Portugal took an extra time lead against France as Éder blasted a strike past Hugo Lloris, who had been a brick wall throughout the match. Éder, who came on as a substitute for Renato Sanches, had scored just three goals for Portugal coming into today’s final. [ESPN Deportes] …
Yale over Quinnipiac, in Pittsburgh, 4-0. That's it. Yale wins the championship. I assure you, it's been a long time coming. I've already blabbed about Quinnipiac, so let me tell you about Yale. About 10 years ago, back when I would skate for Yale Youth Hockey six days a week, anyone who walked into Ingalls Rink ( the Yale Whale) through the wall of doors on Sachem Street would see a couple of metal-and-glass cases, on legs maybe four and a half feet high, more or less parallel to the ground. If I had enough time to dilly-dally before getting dressed for practice, I'd walk over to the cases and take a look. In there was a little bit of Yale memorabilia (sepia photos of white guys wearing inadequate pads), and then there were a couple of felt boards with insertable p…
