Not all touchdown markets are created equally, and there is plenty of value to be had by shopping around and getting the best price. But that’s just one aspect of creating a profitable touchdown card when it comes to handicapping NFL odds.
This year’s total profits are at +11.3 units heading into Week 14 odds. For Sunday, I’m targeting a running back who has taken back his No.1 role, betting on the best wide receiver in football at a great price, and then taking a pair of Buffalo RBs in a great running matchup.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ disastrous December and subsequent early playoff exit prompted them to overhaul both sides of the ball.
Kellen Moore is the new offensive coordinator, utilizing a bevy of weapons on this Eagles attack — including offseason add RB Saquon Barkley. However, none of that matters if the defense can’t keep opponents out of the end zone.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and his sneaky schemes are the remedy for a stop unit that hemorrhaged points down the stretch and sunk to the bottom of the defensive rankings in 2023.
The NFL odds like those moves, pricing Philadelphia among the top teams in the NFC. It enters 2024 with a season win total of 10.5 (Over -134) and is a favorite in 13 games. For those bettors sti…
Back in the old days, when Mikel Arteta was an Arsenal player and the team had suffered one of those Arsenal defeats, maybe away from home in the Champions League, it was him and only him who would front up to the press and say what needed to be said.
Actually, that is not true. It was Arteta or Per Mertesacker, sometimes both but never anyone else from the squad. Arteta would be collared as he headed for the team bus, its engine revving impatiently, in the bowels of the stadium in, say, Milan or Dortmund, and he would burn with frustration.
They say that you learn more about a player in the low moments, about their character and leadership credentials, and that was certainly true of Arteta. Perhaps it was magnified…
Barcelona will begin their LaLiga title defence with a trip to Athletic Bilbao on the opening weekend of the 2019-20 season.
Thursday s fixture release also confirmed Zinedine Zidane s Real Madrid will begin a new era with an away match against Celta Vigo, while last season s runners-up Atletico Madrid host city rivals Getafe on the first matchday.
Ernesto Valverde s Barcelona made it back-to-back league crowns by finishing 11 points clear at the top of the table last time out, but fierce rivals Madrid have spent big during the close season to bridge the gap on the reigning champions.
The first El Clasico of 2019-2020 takes place at Camp Nou on October 27 and the reverse fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu is scheduled for March 1, although all fixtures remain subje…
Spain is well positioned to win the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said Tuesday.
We are the champions in Europe and we have the highest expectations to be world champions, he said at an event marking the centenary of the Spanish Football Federation.
I want to thank you in the name of the citizens of Spain for the courage you display in defence of the colours of Spain. Beyond the results obtained, the Roja has always conquered our hearts, he added, using the nickname for Spain s national team.
Gabriel Jorge Sosa, 93, and Alfredo di Stefano, 83, were amongst the oldest former players at the event which was attended by 400 current and ex-Spanish internationals.
Also in attendance were Real Madrid captain Raul a…
Jack Grealish has hit back at criticism following England s Euro 2020 shoot-out heartache against Italy, insisting he wanted to take a penalty.
Gareth Southgate s side lost 3-2 on spot kicks following three successive failures from 12 yards by Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka.
The game had finished 1-1, with the teams unable to be separated in extra time after Leonardo Bonucci s scrambled effort midway through the second half cancelled out Luke Shaw s second-minute opener.
Much of the focus was placed on England s choice of penalty takers afterwards, with Southgate taking full responsibility for selecting who would step forward.
Rashford and Sancho were introduced during the dying minutes, while Arsenal teenager Saka had never taken a penalty…
UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against England s Football Association following an investigation into the chaotic scenes that marred the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.
Last month, UEFA confirmed an investigation had been launched into events involving supporters which occurred inside and around the stadium .
An ethics and disciplinary inspector was appointed by UEFA to look into the events that took place around the 1-1 draw between England and Italy, who prevailed on penalties.
And a brief statement released on Tuesday confirmed proceedings had been opened against the FA for a potential violation of Article 16(2)(h) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations for a lack of order or discipline by its supporters .
Damage was caused prior to the match as a…
Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain has revealed he almost left former club Real Madrid in 2012.
The Argentina international eventually moved away from the Santiago Bernabeu in July this year, having been at the Spanish club since December 2006.
Higuain has confirmed he considered an exit during the 2011-12 season, but decided to stay after winning La Liga under Jose Mourinho s management.
The day we won the league in 2011-12, there was a change in my mind, he told Cadena Cope.
The stadium sang for me to stay and in the end I continued for another season.
Higuain has scored six times in 12 appearances for Napoli, helping Rafa Benitez s side to second in Serie A.
He credits club president Aurelio De Laurentiis with playing a key role in encouraging him to …
A non-conference clash in the Windy City sends the Cincinnati Bengals on the road to face the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
The NFL betting odds had Chicago laying a field goal after a 34-14 loss to the Rams in Week 1, but with the Bengals off an upset OT win over Minnesota at home, the spread has dipped under the key number at some sportsbooks with early action on the underdog.
Check out our free NFL picks and predictions for Bengals at Bears on September 19.

Rarely have we been able to pat ourselves on the back during this NFL survivor pool season, but if you took our advice last Sunday and pumped the breaks on the Minnesota Vikings (our team to avoid), you’re welcome.
Minnesota was the most popular pick for poolies, taking on the winless Lions. But a nasty schedule spot and the Vikings’ bad habits in close games killed off a good chunk of pool players. We also guided you to winning survivor pool picks with Indianapolis (savvy pick) and the L.A. Rams (safe pick), who won their respective matchups by a combined score of 68-7.
So, what do we do for an encore?
Here are our Week 14 survivor pool picks.
