27-02-2010 Chelsea vs Manchester City

This match up of the money men sees table topping Chelsea attempt to take a full three points off faltering Manchester City

Chelsea have one major doubt for this game with Pter Cech looking doubtful for up to a month, although rumours are circulating that despite reports, he may even be able to play in this match. Much will depend on his ability to make the game, with Chgelsea s reserve Keepers short of match practice and confidence. Chelsea also have high profile absencees through Joe Cole and Boswinga, the ability of Chelsea being able to attack down the flanks being diminished through the loss of these two. Michael Essien s absence also remains a problem for Chelsea, but their squad size usually means that big players aren t missed.

The Cracks are beginning to show a…

Cagliari

Taking Cagliari from 14th place in Serie B to a dramatic last Summer promotion achieved after an intense play-off win against Bari, Claudio Ranieri became a legend for the Islanders. Although returning to the first stage of Italian football was a great performance, Cagliari had a reality check after ending the previous term under a real relegation threat.

However, the vast experience, knowl…

On this day in 2013: David Beckham’s Paris deal is good news for charity

David Beckham joined Paris St Germain on a five-month deal on this day in 2013 and announced he would donate his entire salary to a local children’s charity.

The former England captain joined the Ligue 1 leaders as a free agent after his five-and-a-half-year spell at Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy ended in December.

While Beckham’s wage was unknown, the total of his charitable donation was believed to be in the region of £2million.

Giants vs Titans Week 1 Picks and Predictions: New York's Defense is Outmatched

The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans are on opposite ends of many projections from sharp bettors heading into the 2022 NFL season.

The overhaul in the head office and the hiring of Brian Daboll as head coach had stock in New York on the rise this offseason, while Tennessee is pegged for regression after earning the No. 1 seed in the AFC last year.

However, the G-Men’s improvements could be stunted by a slow transition to this new playbook and injuries once again plaguing this team, after finishing 2021 as one of the most injured rosters in the NFL. 

This has the spread for this non-conference opener bobbing around a dead number of -5.5 with bettors now gun shy on New York but not exactly trusting Tennessee. 

I run down the spr…

Giants vs Cowboys Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 10: Ferguson's Growth Continues

The last time the New York Giants tangled with division rivals the Dallas Cowboys, they got blasted 40-0 at home.

By the looks of the Week 10 odds, books don’t expect much improvement from New York on Sunday.

Dallas is laying as many as 17 points at home this Sunday, marking the largest NFL odds spread of the 2023 season so far.

The number is warranted, considering the Giants are playing back-to-back road games, coming off a 30-6 defeat in Las Vegas, and starting third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito against a vaunted Cowboys defense.

That pile of chalk may scare away some bettors, but big favorites have made good of those lofty lines so far this season with double-digit faves going 7-3 against the spread.

I break down that big sprea…

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys escaped Week 4 with a narrow Thursday night win and are back on prime time as they travel to take on the stout Pittsburgh Steelers defense.
