Vikings vs Chiefs Preseason Picks and Predictions: Can Vikes Offense Keep Up?

The Kansas City Chiefs wrap up their 2021 NFL preseason as they host the Minnesota Vikings on Friday night. 

Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes made waves earlier this summer when he said that the only record he wants to break is for the Chiefs to go 20-0 and win the Super Bowl. While their preseason record won’t contribute to that mark, they look like a good bet to finish with a perfect 3-0 record with NFL betting odds installing the Chiefs as 4-point home favorites at Arrowhead Stadium. 

Here are our free NFL picks and predictions for the Vikings vs. Chiefs on Friday, August 27, with kickoff at 8 p.m. ET.

NFL Power Rankings: Niners Got the Juice

With four weeks in the books, the rankings are settling in and the Top 10 has certainly seen a shakeup with the play of the Eagles, 49ers, Rams, and Packers. The Top 2 spots remain unchanged while the bottom-feeders are still bad. However, everything in the middle is still wide open as only nine teams have a losing record heading into Week 5.

In games on a neutral field, every higher-ranked team would be favored or, at least, a pick ’em on the moneyline in this format. For two teams ranked closely together, the difference in the spread would be a home-field advantage (if any), which varies slightly from team to team. 

Best NFL Touchdown Props for Week 4: Murray Makes His Mark at the Goal Line

With the increased popularity of betting touchdown props, it’s a little harder these days for bettors to find value in the NFL odds market. However, because of price discrepancies across books, having multiple outs is the best way to be profitable with player props. 

Each week I’ll find my three best touchdown props for the Sunday slate. They might not be high-win probable plays, but if they aren’t, they’ll certainly be +EV. I’m up 16.55 units over three weeks and have swept the board in back-to-back weeks. 

When it comes to Week 4 odds, we’re going all in on short-yardage scores. In my latest NFL picks, I’m going back to a winner from last week in a projected shootout, hitting a low-volume runner who will get the …

Browns vs Rams Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 13: Finding Value in Ford, Williams Props

Following their Week 12 loss in Denver, the banged-up Cleveland Browns have stayed out west ahead of their meeting with the Los Angeles Rams, who enter as 3.5-point home chalk. The visiting team could be without Myles Garrett, and are turning to 38-year-old Joe Flacco at quarterback. 

With some questionable QB play and other members of the offense not practicing this week, could Jerome Ford be leaned on even more for an Browns offense that will be lacking game-changing talent on Sunday?

I break down the Week 13 edition of the NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for Browns vs. Rams on Sunday, December 3.

Alvin Kamara Picks, Predictions, and Best Bets for Thursday Night Football

The Caesars Superdome will play host to Thursday Night Football in Week 7, with the New Orleans Saints looking to snap a four-game skid by topping the visiting Denver Broncos.

New Orleans is dealing with a number of injuries to key offensive starters, and my NFL picks for the Alvin Kamara odds expect Denver’s defense to hold the dynamic running back in check on October 17.

Evander Holyfield allowed Donald Trump to make $2.5 million off his 2021 boxing match

God looks out for fools and babies. But, does that grace get extended to 58-year-old men? Or can we just admit that Evander Holyfield played himself? Back in 2021, the boxer that is infamously known as the guy who got his ear bit off by Mike Tyson was two years away from 60, and was still fighting for some reason. One of the greatest to ever put on a pair of trunks and gloves was making a fool of himself, and it culminated with a first-round TKO loss to Vitor Belfort and a $2.5 million payday for Donald Trump. According to a recent report from USA Today Sports, the 2021 fight between Holyfield and the former UFC champion led to Trump’s most lucrative speaking engagement after leaving the Oval Office, as he did color commentary during the four-fight main card on Sept. 11, 2021, at th…

Aaron Ramsey can show Italian public he is far from an unfulfilled talent

In Wales Aaron Ramsey is a symbol of their finest moment, the night they rode into the semi-finals of a European Championship. Behind that comeback victory over Belgium was a peerless performance by the midfielder, with bleach-blond hair and a magnetic touch, seemingly at his peak. But two underwhelming seasons at Juventus mean that in Italy, where Wales play their final group game on Sunday, Ramsey is regarded an unfulfilled talent.

Ramsey arrived to fanfare, with television cameras following his every move in Turin and with a glowing endorsement from the then head coach, Maurizio Sarri. Andrea Pirlo, Sarri’s successor, also referenced Ramsey’s talent last December. “Ramsey was a revelation to me,” said Pirlo, who took charge of Juv…

Antonio Conte unhappy at being left alone as the public face of Spurs

Antonio Conte has opened up on the frustration he feels at being the public face of Tottenham, the only management figure questioned on club policy, and wondered why he has no support in this area from the board or departmental heads.

Conte, under pressure after three Premier League wins in nine, goes to Manchester City on Thursday seeking to improve on a dismal sequence of results against the division’s big sides. Spurs drew at Chelsea at the start of the season but they have lost home and away against Arsenal, away at Manchester United and home against Liverpool.

Conte, who described City as “the best team in the world at the moment”, was exasperated on Tuesday, saying more than once that he did not want to …
