Bukayo Saka can thrive during England s World Cup campaign after handling the fallout from his penalty miss in the Euro 2020 final impeccably , according to Aaron Ramsdale.

Saka s spot-kick was saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma after England s tense draw with Italy last July, ensuring the Three Lions lost on their first major final appearance since the 1966 World Cup.

The winger then endured further disappointment on the domestic stage as Arsenal failed to secure a top-four finish last term, but he has bounced back in fine fashion this season.

With Arsenal flying high at the top of the Premier League table, only five players have bettered Saka s tally of 10 goal contributions in the competition this campaign (four goals, six assists), and his Gunners team-mate Ramsda…

The ecosystem of the NFC will look very different after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.

The defending Super Bowl champs were rare NFL betting underdogs for this cross-country trip west, opening as big as +1.5. However, early action on Tampa Bay has bumped this spread over the fence and the visitor is now giving L.A. a point inside SoFi Stadium.

We’ve got free NFL picks and predictions for Buccaneers at Rams – the biggest game of the day – on September 26.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will try to exorcise some playoff demons when they host the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL Divisional Round.

Against San Francisco in the postseason, Rodgers is 0-3 in his career but this time the Packers have the advantage of being the No. 1 seed in the NFC and are coming off a bye, while the Niners will play their third consecutive road game.

But the question is, who will cover the 6-point spread? Find out in our free NFL picks and predictions for 49ers vs. Packers on Saturday, January 22.

Week 6 odds in the NFL feature plenty of low totals on the betting board, and that should mean some great defense being put on display.

This week, I’m backing Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau to get a sack against an atrocious Giants offensive line while also betting on Buccaneers Pro Bowl safety Antoine Winfield Jr.

Let’s dive into the NFL odds as I give out my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks for Week 6.

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)

With sophomore wideout Puka Nacua suffering an in-game injur…

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…
