The Super Bowl is about so much more than betting on Super Bowl props… or even Super Bowl game odds: It’s also a chance to bring all your buddies together for a phenomenal party.

And the key to any great gathering is, of course, food.Did you know Americans eat more than 100 million pounds of chicken wings, over 13 billion burgers, and consume 11.2 million pounds of potato chips on Super Bowl Sunday?But what is the ultimate Super Bowl Sunday snack? We’re glad you asked! We’ve logged hours of arduous research breaking down the betting odds for the Top 16 Super Bowl snacks, and now those snacks will duke it out in a winner-take-all March Madness-style bracket showdown — which you will vote on!The betting favorites are the…

It’s almost Halloween and if you’re looking for last-minute costume ideas, you might want to keep in mind that for an NFL quarterback, there is nothing more terrifying than a 270-pound behemoth trying to take your head off.

I hunt for those kinds of monsters as I dive into the NFL odds and find the best defensive player props to bet on. This week, that’s headlined by one of the scariest defensive players in the league — Philadelphia’s Haason Reddick. 

Here are my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks when it comes to the latest Week 8 odds.

Matthew Stafford is back in the Motor City for the first time since being traded as his Lost Angeles Rams lock horns with the Detroit Lions tonight. Stafford was Detroit’s starting quarterback for more than a decade and while he put up impressive numbers for the Lions, they played in a grand total of three playoff games — all losses.

They’ve entered the postseason in style by winning the NFC North and their Super Bowl odds sit at +1,800, significantly shorter than Stafford’s Rams (+5,000). Wild Card odds for this game have the highest total of the weekend at 51.5, signaling that we could see a big day for Stafford.  

Let’s break down the best ways to bet on the Matt Stafford odds in our NFL picks for this Wild Card showdown.

It’s another prime-time slot for Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons, but the joy of Monday’s dramatic late win could be short-lived with the Kansas City Chiefs in town tonight.

Though the Chiefs are somewhat fortunate to be entering with a 2-0 record, I still think they’ll come out on top here as Patrick Mahomes is a monster in dome games.

I’m also looking at player prop markets concerning running backs Bijan Robinson and Samaje Perine for my favorite Chiefs vs. Falcons predictions and NFL picks on September 22.

Chiefs vs Falcons SNF predictions

• Chiefs -3 (-115 at bet365)
• Under 46.5 (-110 at bet365)
• Robinson Over 107.5 rushing + receiving yards (-115 at bet365)
• Perine anytime to…
  

“There were hard times,” Jérôme Boateng says as his mind drifts back to Bayern Munich’s wobbles at the start of the season. “It’s like being a child. As a child if I had no confidence, if you don’t get trust from your friends, then you lose the joy of the game. That’s what happens now, even when I’m older.”

Boateng, one of the finest defenders of his generation, could feel the spark ebbing away. Bayern were on the slide under Niko Kovac, a coach struggling to connect with a champion squad, and time finally appeared to have caught up with the old guard. Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer were under pressure and Boateng, aware that people were starting to view him as a fading force, wondered whether a change of scenery was req…

The rise of Andy Robertson is such that he was associated with fairytale in Scotland long before the sampling of good times with the international team. It is just that there are parallels between the journey of a kid from stacking supermarket shelves to the summit of club football and what has transpired in the colours of his country.

When Scotland drew 1-1 with Canada in a 2017 friendly, the crowd at Easter Road was below 10,000. Hampden Park was more than half empty for the visits of Israel and Portugal a year later. Campaign after campaign of failure had sapped the energy from the Scottish public. Robertson’s supposed battle with Kieran Tierney for the left-back position created a narrative that quite evidently neither player could be …

Estadio de la Ceramica will set the stage for a fascinating La Liga clash on Monday evening, as Villarreal host Atletico Madrid in the opening gameweek of the 2024/25 season.

Villarreal, after finishing eighth last season, narrowly missed out on European qualification. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid secured fourth place, ensuring their participation in the Champions League once again. Both teams will be eager to start their campaigns on a positive note, with Villarreal seeking redemption after a disappointing season, and Atletico looking to maintain their status as one of Spain s top clubs.

Celta Vigo have completed a coup in securing star striker Iago Aspas to a new four-year contract.

Aspas has been a revelation for Celta since returning from Sevilla in 2015 for a second spell, and the club have acknowledged his inspirational form this term by tying him down until 2023.

The forward s career looked to be at a crossroads when successive seasons at Liverpool and Sevilla saw him score just two league goals in 30 appearances.

But a move back to Celta – where he came through the academy – saw him find his form again, scoring 14 LaLiga goals in the 2015-16 campaign and 19 in 2016-17, when he also helped the club to the Europa League semi-finals.

¡BOOOOOM! ¡ renueva y será celeste hasta el centenario del club!

Yuri Lodygin sees no reason why Zenit s impressive start to action in 2015 cannot continue when Torino visit the Stadion Petrovsky in the UEFA Europa League last 16 on Thursday.

The Russian side have shown no ill-effects after a two-and-a-half-month break from competitive football in recent weeks, cruising to wins in their three fixtures without conceding a single goal.

Two of those games were against runaway Eredivisie leaders PSV in the Europa League s previous stage before Zenit resumed their Russian Premier League campaign with a 3-0 victory over Ural on Saturday to maintain their seven-point advantage at the top.

Andre Villas-Boas side blew away PSV 3-0 on home soil in the last round and Lodygin has called for no let-up when Serie A s eighth-placed team v…

Manchester United start the new year seven points clear of city rivals Manchester City. The Red Devils visi…
