Cardinals vs Seahawks Week 11 Picks and Predictions: Wounded Birds Battle at Lumen

The Arizona Cardinals would prefer not to enter their Week 12 bye having lost three of four after starting the season 7-0 SU. Standing in their way are the Seattle Seahawks, who did not impress with Russell Wilson back at under center last week in a 17-0 loss to the Packers. Kyler Murray is trending in the right direction after missing the last two games, and while Arizona is a 2-point road favorite, that number is very dependent on Murray’s health.

Can the Cardinals shake off the rust and stay on top of the NFC West? Can Wilson and the offense get their mojo back? Find out in our picks and predictions for Cardinals vs. Seahawks on Sunday, November 21.

Best Spot Bets for NFL Week 3: Sky-High Jets Come Crashing Down vs Desperate Bengals

After two wild weeks of NFL betting action, we need all the info we can to wrangle the Week 3 odds.

Given the limited results, it’s tough to trust the early metrics and really get an idea of just what teams are made out of. That means looking beyond the box scores and injury reports for edges and sizing up things like how the schedule could influence outcomes.

Situational handicapping – also known as spot bets – is a great complement to your analytical information, especially at this point in the year. I dig into my top spots for NFL Week 3, giving you my favorite look-ahead, let-down and schedule angles.

Ravens vs Bengals Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 2: Defenses Dominate AFC North Showdown

The trainer’s room is once again the most heavily trafficked area for the Baltimore Ravens, who may have won their opening game of the 2023 NFL season but were also dealt some devastating losses.

Baltimore, which has been snake-bitten with injury issues the past three seasons, limps into a Week 2 divisional showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday.

The Bengals were among the biggest busts of Week 1, managing only three points on 142 total yards of offense in an embarrassing 24-3 defeat to rival Cleveland. Cincinnati opened as low as a field goal favorite according to Week 2 odds, and Baltimore’s injury concerns have tacked a half-point onto this spread.

I dive into the NFL odds for this AFC North grudge match and give my best NFL pic…

Week 12 NFL Trend Report: How Low Can They Go?

Like that scrappy team that just won’t go away, Unders made another big statement once again in Week 11, going 10-4 which now has them cashing at a 60.7% clip on the season. While I keep expecting some sort of regression for these NFL betting trends — as I mention in this article week after week — they just keep coming back stronger, but is the tide finally set to turn in Week 12?

This week’s NFL odds feature some rock-bottom totals including Patriots vs. Giants at 33.5, Steelers vs. Bengals at 34, Browns vs. Broncos at 35, and Panthers vs. Titans at 36.5.

Low totals are still going Under though, so don’t be scared off if your numbers support backing the Under in these games. Over the last three weeks, 14 games have had a total lo…

San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Odds: Can Niners Secure Lombardi before Window Closes?

The inevitability of Patrick Mahomes struck again, and as the now three-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback hit Mecole Hardman in the end zone, he shattered the hearts of San Francisco 49ers fans everywhere.

After a season of dominance in which San Francisco ran through the NFC like hoisting the Lombardi was Kyle Shanahan’s destiny, the 49ers head coach fell in overtime of the Super Bowl for the second time in his career. While this time around wasn’t nearly as shocking as the 28-3 comeback of the New England Patriots over the Atlanta Falcons — the only other Super Bowl to reach overtime — it hurts all the same.

Super Bowl odds once again doubted Mahomes and Andy Reid, with the Niners opening as two to 2.5-point favorites at most books and …

Messi 2021: A remarkable Barcelona career in Opta numbers

Lionel Messi has signed a new contract with Barcelona through to 2021, ensuring the continuation of a remarkable career with the club.

When Messi made his competitive debut in October 2004 at the tender age of 17, there was already plenty of buzz about the Argentine wizard following his quick rise through the ranks of La Masia.

The forward was not only seen as one of Barca s brightest prospects, but there were also murmurs he could potentially become an all-time great.

Fast-forward 13 years and it is fair to say Messi has lived up to those prodigious expectations, to the extent his latest terms include a mammoth €700million release clause.

The prolific forward, now 30, holds numerous individual records, while acting as the driving force behind Barca s …
