Month: October 2024

This article has gotten a lot easier to do in the playoffs. 

Instead of digging into 12 to 16 games each week and finding my favorite NFL trends, it’s just a handful of games and I 100% embrace it after the four-month grind that is the NFL regular season.

While the volume of games decreases momentarily, business is about to seriously pick up for those of us in the sports betting content business as there’s a little game called the Super Bowl right around the corner. With the Super Bowl comes an avalanche of betting action, which translates to a need for an avalanche of sports betting content — and, that too, is something I embrace.

The finish line for another season is in sight, so let’s narrow that focus d…

My analysis

Betting on kickers may not be the most exciting thing in the world, but Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert has been strong through two games with the team.

Bayern Munich want to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi on loan before the transfer window shuts on Monday and have held talks with Chelsea about a deal for the 19-year-old winger.

The Bundesliga champions tried to buy Hudson-Odoi before the youngster committed his future to Chelsea last year, signing a deal worth £120,000 a week, and have maintained their interest in the player. Bayern would like to bolster their options in the wide positions, even though they have already signed Leroy Sané to compete with Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman.

The women’s game is, undoubtedly, having a “moment”. The European Championship has caught the imagination of football fans and the wider public.

The performances of the England team have led back pages, with the Lionesses playing to primetime TV audiences and packed stadiums full of passionate fans. The comeback win against Spain was pure football drama, capped by a winning goal from Georgia Stanway that would grace any game.

Even more of the players are becoming household names. That interest will only intensify if Sarina Wiegman’s team lift the trophy in front of their home fans. All of this will, undoubtedly, create a bounce…

Celtic could yet retain the Scottish Premiership. Any assertion that they will not – hardly wild on the basis of evidence available from the table or umpteen matches – seems to have irked Brendan Rodgers. Not that it takes much to irritate the Celtic manager; his sour tone has been an intriguing, constant feature of this second spell in Glasgow. One has been left to ponder why he bothered cutting short a planned sabbatical from the game to return to Celtic last summer.

Celtic trail Rangers by two points and six goals with 11 league games remaining. In other leagues, this would be no cause for firm opinion but the weakness of Scotland’s top flight means Rodgers cannot rely on other teams nicking points from Rangers. The Ibrox side have …

Despite the attempt to kill it from Europe’s leading clubs last spring (and UEFA’s eventual success in doing so in the coming years), the Champions League returns today in its usual form. While it has become the nexus point in all that’s wrong with soccer and has certainly widened the gap between the haves and have-nots, there probably still isn’t a higher level of the sport than this, and that includes the European Championships and World Cups. It’s why the best players end up in the most exclusive cabal of clubs. To play and win “Ol’ Big Ears.” Winning the Champions League still gives a club a unique aura. Only 22 teams in all of Europe have done so in its 65-year history. For comparison’s sake, 20 teams have won a Super Bowl from a decidedly smaller pool of 32 teams…
