Betting on defensive player props in the NFL is all about matchups. When it comes to Week 11 odds, I’m looking to fade a young Chiefs pass rusher against a future Hall of Fame right tackle while backing Lions end Aidan Hutchinson to have a field day in Detroit. 

I’m also digging into the NFL odds in the tackles market for a few other plays this week. Here are my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks for Week 11.

One of the biggest plays that can turn around a football game is an interception and Super Bowl history is filled with picks that altered the course of events. And we can take advantage in our Super Bowl predictions.

While there is more passing than ever in the modern NFL, shorter routes and safer throws have led to fewer interceptions. However, turnovers are still one of the most pivotal points in a game, and betting them on the Super Bowl odds board can be highly profitable.

Here are my best free NFL picks and predictions for interception props at Super Bowl 58 on Sunday, February 11.

The New Orleans Saints ride a two-game losing streak into Arrowhead Stadium as they take on a Kansas City Chiefs team running thin on passing-game options.

My Saints vs. Chiefs predictions are targeting Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes despite K.C. losing WRs Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown to injury. No. 15 makes everyone around him better, and he’s never more dangerous than when Kansas City is knocking on the door of the end zone.

See why I’m betting on Mahomes to post a pair of passing touchdowns with my NFL picks for tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup.

The Pacific Northwest is God's country, and there may not be any more beautiful slice than Clyde Hill. Literally located upon a hill, Clyde Hill is one square mile of the most beautiful views in the state. Look east, and there are the Cascades. Look south, and there's Mt. Ranier. And west, just across the lake, the glimmering skyline of Seattle. It's no wonder that Clyde Hill boasts one of the state's highest median incomes, with home prices directly tied to the lot's view. There's a massive, 50-year-old Chinese pine in the yard across the street from John Olerud's house. He wants it gone. The Oleruds have been feuding with their neighbors, the Bakers, over the pine for over two years. The Oleruds say the view blocks the view from their $4 million hom…

On the eve of his second European Under-21 Championship as England manager in 2019, Aidy Boothroyd was asked which of the motivational quotes pinned around their training base in northern Italy was his favourite. “It is actually one of mine which says: ‘There has never been a better time to be an England player’,” he revealed.

Try telling that to the team that was comprehensively outclassed by Portugal on Sunday night. Despite Boothroyd’s promise that England would be more attacking after the opening loss to Switzerland, his side failed to register a single attempt on target in Ljubljana that means that their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the expanded tournament are now hanging by the slimmest of threads.

Erik ten Hag lauded “elite” Marcus Rashford after the forward’s 100th Manchester United goal – but the manager warned that his side’s lack of control in the second half made the victory “a tennis match”.

Rashford’s 38th-minute winner was his seventh of the season, and Ten Hag was asked if he can become an elite forward.

“He already is,” Ten Hag said. “If you score 100 for Manchester United before you are 25. But it’s about trophies to win with your club, and I think he can develop even more.

“Two headers [in consecutive games]: we’ve worked a lot on that, we had to improve, and you see w…

The Olympic Room – with its gleaming panels and glass walls – overlooks the Melbourne Cricket Ground arena, the mecca of Australian sport. It was filled on Tuesday lunchtime with business, political and civic leaders, as well as those who had paid for the privilege of being there. Three hundred or so of Melbourne’s most influential mingled, waiting patiently.

Sponsors spoke, so too a minister. Then it was time. Slick haircuts swivelled, suit seams strained and heels lifted to get a better view. Onto the stage walked a stocky, clearly jet-lagged man wearing a jumper. In the audience, like Swifties at the same venue earlier this year, these Angees reached for their iPhones. Ange Postecoglou was home again.

Aaron Rodgers still has it.The 40-year-old turned back the clock on Thursday night, carving up the New England Patriots’ defense to lead the New York Jets to a 24-3 victory. Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns.Rodgers’ stat line didn’t tell the whole story, though.New England had trouble getting to Rodgers all night, pressuring him often, only to see the 20-year NFL veteran use his legs to scramble out of danger and hit an open man on the run. Passes were crisp. Spreading the wealth looked easy. It felt like we were watching the Rodgers of old.There’s a lot of football left to be played, but if Rodgers can replicate Thursday’s performance on a biweekly basis—at least—he’s going to put together one hell of a season.And it should be his last if…
