The Kansas City Chiefs took care of business last week with a 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and now set their sights on an Indianapolis Colts team that has yet to win in 2022.
The Colts have had a horrendous start to the season, first tying in Week 1 with the Houston Texans and then following that up by being on the receiving end of a 24-0 beatdown courtesy of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Needless to say, starting off a playoff-hopeful season with those performances against two lowly franchises is less than ideal.
Can the Colts bounce back in a big way from the confines of Lucas Oil Stadium in their first home game of the season, or will Andy Reid have a bag of tricks up his sleeve on a long week of preparation following the Chiefs’ Thursday night triu…
Through two weeks of football action, I’ve noticed that most of my NFL picks have been on secondary players, rather than the stars and No. 1s on given rosters.
It’s a good thing too… because the stars have been dropping like flies: We’ve already lost Aaron Rodgers, J.K. Dobbins, and Nick Chubb for the year, while Saquon Barkley, Austin Ekeler, Aaron Jones, and Diontae Johnson are all also currently sidelined.
So, for my best bets based on the Week 3 odds, I bet on some high-profile quarterbacks — spitting in the face of the injury gods’ apparent wrath — and a kicker for good measure.
Today, we’re putting backups back into the spotlight, with a wide receiver to excel, one newly minted No. 1 to struggle… and then Zach Wilson…
Chargers vs Patriots Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 13: New England Offense Continues to Struggle
Despite the 4-7 SU record, three-game losing streak, and playing on the road, the Los Angeles Chargers enter Week 13 as a 6-point favorite ahead of their date with the offense-less New England Patriots — who sound like they’re using a quarterback rotation this Sunday that may or may not include Mac Jones.
The Pats have held their opponents to 10 points in back-to-back games and have still come away winless as this offense continues to be useless. With some shopping around to find the better key number, is there any reason to not fade the New England offense again this week?
I break down the NFL odds and bring you my free NFL picks for the Chargers vs. Patriots on December 3.

In terms of relative generosity, perhaps Taylor Swift gifting four tickets to the Eras Tour during its return to the United States isn’t that significant, but in terms of how much money she helped raise this weekend for Travis Kelce’s best teammate, $80,000 to Patrick Mahomes’s foundation cannot be diminished.
It was just the latest public appearance from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as their relationship has found some added freedom and flexibility during the NFL offseason, though Taylor’s press demands are sure to rise following the release of her double album “The Tortured Poets Society.”
That may be the greatest professional stressor for the couple now that Travis Kelce has signed a two-year, $34.25 million extension wi…

Josh Allen took a massive leap between his second and third seasons to become one of the game’s brightest stars. In the last two years, he’s thrown for 35+ touchdowns, 4,400+ yards, and has put up completion rates well above 60%.
Aside from his rookie year, the Buffalo Bills have won at least 10 games in each campaign Allen has been under center, paving the way for the Wyoming product to have some impressive records against his NFL foes. His play has even garnered some high praise from one of the best defenders in league history.

Daniele Rugani has signed a new contract with Juventus, keeping him with the Serie A champions until 2023.
The defender s agent Davide Torchia confirmed last year that the 24-year-old was a transfer target for Chelsea.
But Rugani stayed in Turin and has started 11 Serie A games for Massimiliano Allegri s side this term.
While Rugani s opportunities have been limited, with his fellow centre-backs approaching the end of their careers he is likely seen as a player for Juve s future.
Andrea Barzagli is 37, Giorgio Chiellini is 34 and Leonardo Bonucci, who rejoined Juve from AC Milan last year, is 31.
He has not only established himself for his elegance, technicality, how he anticipates the game and his positional sense, but, above all, for his growth…
Wayne Rooney returned to fire England to the top of Group D and into the knockout stages of Euro 2012 after a 1-0 victory over Ukraine.
The co-hosts dominated much of the opening half and England were happy to go into the break level despite having the best chance through Rooney, however Roy Hodgson s side came out with a much more positive attitude in the second half and the Manchester United striker scored the 29th goal of his international career to keep England s unbeaten record in this competition intact.
England s goal continued to lead a charmed life throughout the second half though and they were indebted to John Terry for a fantastic goal line clearance in the 62nd minute following Joe Hart s save from Marko Devic.
After missing the first two group game…

LaLiga is arguably harder to call than ever before heading into 2021-22 – Barcelona no longer have Lionel Messi to guide the way and Real Madrid have seen significant upheaval, so surely the smart money is on defending champions Atletico Madrid?
Diego Simeone s men won the title in 2020-21 after watching Barca and Madrid trade success for seven years and look in good shape given they ve not lost any major players. But can you really write off the big two ?

Competition: Champions League
Market: Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League
Odds:
After sealing the La Liga title in the final day of the league season, Atletico Madrid are now looking forward to their Champions League final against Real Madrid next weekend.
Diego Simeone’s men have been superb in Europe, winning nine and drawing three of their 12 Champions League games while having knocked out such heavyweights as AC Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea.
As a result, 888 Sport are giving them odds of 8/5 to win the Champions League at Real Madrid’s expense. But their fierce City rivals will still be a difficult entity to beat. Real have lost one and drawn one of their 12 games in Europe this season, conceding just nine goals.
