England’s all-time record scorer Harry Kane opened his international goal account within 80 seconds of making a “dream” debut on this day in 2015.

Kane netted almost immediately after coming on as a 70th-minute substitute against Lithuania at Wembley, wrapping up a 4-0 win with a thumping far-post header.

The then 21-year-old, who had already scored 29 goals for Tottenham that season, was given a standing ovation as he took to the field and it did not take him long to get the sell-out crowd back on their feet as, with one of his first touches, he found the back of the net.

Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Raheem Sterling scored England’s other goals, but the headlines belonged to Kane after a one-sided Euro 2016 qualifier.

It’s reunion week for the Los Angeles Rams and new franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford, hosting his former club the Detroit Lions for the first time since the two teams swapped QBs as part of a trade this past winter.

Stafford and the Rams are big NFL betting favorites taking the fumbling Lions and former L.A. passer Jared Goff, laying anywhere between -14.5 and -16. Detroit’s fortunes are not as bright as its California counterpart’s, lugging an 0-6 record with it to Los Angeles in Week 7.

Here are our NFL free picks and predictions for Lions at Rams on October 24.

Every season bettors make the assumption that NFL teams that were good and bad the previous season (barring huge roster turnover) are largely going to perform similarly in the upcoming season. However, as some more well-versed bettors know there are some key indicators that can help identify which teams over- and underperformed in the win column. One of those key indicators is turnover margin.

In an NFL odds upset, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly fell to the Denver Broncos last week, with the two-time MVP completing just 24 of 38 passes for 240 yards, adding zero touchdowns and throwing two picks in the process. 

The lackluster offensive output led to Mahomes’ first career loss to the Broncos, and now the Chiefs have the tall task of traveling across the pond for a Week 9 AFC showdown with the Miami Dolphins.

Can he turn things around in Frankfurt or will the Chiefs’ struggles continue in front of international eyes?

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…
