The term “upset” gets thrown around a lot when it comes to sports shockers. If the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles and come through as my Super Bowl 57 pick, it’s debatable if that would qualify as a true upset.
With the Super Bowl Odds showing the Chiefs currently as low as 1-point underdogs for February 12, a victory over the Eagles certainly wouldn’t be on par with Big Game stunners like the New York Giants’ win over the New England Patriots at Super Bowl XLII, or the New York Jets over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III.
But, Kansas City is the underdog nonetheless.
The Chiefs are already a popular pick to win outright when it comes to the Super Bowl moneyline odds, and they’ll draw even more action at plus money…
There’s a common narrative that after NFL players ball out in contract years, they underperform after getting the bag.
Alex Anzalone and Josh Metellus are both proving that to be a myth and have been tackling machines for their respective teams this season. I’m looking at both of their tackle props this week in the NFL odds while also betting on Dennis Gardeck to get a sack at big plus money.
Here are my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks when it comes to the Week 7 odds.

The NFL blessed the football world with the perfect finale to the regular season on Sunday Night Football in Week 18. It’s a winner-takes-all AFC East showdown with the division crown on the line between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.
After a bumpy start to the season, Buffalo has found its rhythm, particularly on defense, and has the perfect opportunity to flex its muscles in Miami.
Despite being on the road, the NFL odds have the Bills -2.5 and it might have something to do with the way this defense matches up against Tua Tagovailoa.
You can see how I’m betting the Tua Tagovailoa odds as we dive into the Sunday Night Football odds in my free NFL picks below.

The Thursday Night Football odds are showing the lowest total on the Week 3 board. At 38 points, bookies aren’t expecting many fireworks between the New England Patriots and New York Jets. That puts a premium on touchdowns and offers little variance in the anytime touchdown markets.
You have three players priced at +145 or shorter to score on Thursday night, with all other options offering 3/1 payouts or higher. If someone else can sneak into the end zone, there’s potential for huge profits. I size up the possible touchdown props for the Patriots and Jets and give my best NFL picks below.

Eddie Howe has said he is preparing to “make difficult decisions” and be ruthless this summer as he prepares to move players on from Newcastle in order to accommodate new signings in his 25-man Premier League squad while remaining within financial fair play rules. Miguel Almirón, a £20m buy on the part of Rafael Benítez, ranks among those playing for their futures. With Ryan Fraser injured, Almirón could be offered a rare start at home against Leicester as Howe aims to move a step closer to mid-table security with a win against Brendan Rodgers’s side.

Pep Guardiola says he would never prevent a player who wants to leave Manchester City from joining a Premier League rival because that would be the mindset of a “small club”.
The Spaniard will come up against two of his former charges on Sunday when City play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Raheem Sterling left the Etihad Stadium for west London in 2022 and was joined a year later by Cole Palmer for an initial £40m fee, as both searched for more time on the pitch. The latter is set to make his first appearance against the club he supported as a boy and joined aged eight, before progressing all the way to the first team.

Need a boost to get through the middle of the week? Well, you’ve come to the right place.I’m locking in on the MLB and NBA, with baseball serving as an appetizer and dessert while Game 3 of the NBA Finals stands in as the main course.Colorado Rockies at Minnesota TwinsColorado has never been able to solve Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez.Lopez is 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in four career starts against the Rockies, most recently holding them to one unearned run and four hits in seven innings on June 22, 2022.But Colorado might be starting to click a little bit, and this isn’t the same version of Lopez that we’ve seen in years past. The Rockies are averaging 8.1 hits over their past seven games, while Lopez has been tagged for at least six runs in three of his past four outings.It’s the p…
Infielder J.D. Davis and the Oakland Athletics agreed to a one-year contract, the team announced Saturday. Financial terms were not disclosed by the A's. However, multiple media outlets reported the deal was worth $2.5 million with an additional $1 million in incentives. Davis, who turns 31 on April 27, was released by the San Francisco Giants on Monday after defeating the team last month in salary arbitration. He was awarded a $6.9 million salary for 2024 in arbitration but will only receive approximately $1.1 million from the Giants since he was released more than 16 days before the start of the regular season. Davis batted .248 with a career-best 18 home runs and 69 RBIs in 144 games last season. He played 116 games at third base and 15 contests at first base. In seven major…
Former Kings defenseman Slava Voynov has not played in the NHL since October 2014, when he punched, kicked, and choked his wife, and pushed her head into a TV screen. Voynov pleaded no contest to a charge of spousal abuse, served 90 days in jail, was suspended indefinitely, and had his Kings contract terminated. Rather than face potential deportation proceedings, he moved back to his native Russia, where he won a Gagarin Cup in the KHL and a gold medal at the 2018 Olympics. Voynov’s conviction was dismissed last summer after he completed his three years of probation, and now he’s considering returning to the NHL. He’s going to have to wait a while longer for that. Today, the NHL announced that Voynov will be suspended for all of next season. The league’s statement: The Nationa…
