Week 11’s matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans could be the biggest bag of cats on the NFL odds board.
Houston continues to climb the power ratings, winning three of its last four games including a 30-27 upset of Cincinnati this past weekend. The Texans enter this homestand with a 5-4 record SU and ATS, in pursuit of an improbable playoff spot.

The total for this primetime contest sits at 43 points, which predicts a low-scoring game between two of the league’s best defenses. But that doesn’t mean we can’t find value in the Saints vs. Chiefs anytime touchdown picks.

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.

He set up Remo Freuler s opener before curling in a stunning effort himself, becoming the fir…
Germany tested the crossbar three times during the first-half initially when Julian Brandt s sweetly struck shot cannoned to safety with Weverton beaten.
The hosts much-vaunted frontline of Luan, Gabriel Barbosa, Gabriel Jesus and Neymar began to link pleasingly and, after Renato Augusto spurned an unmarked 23rd-minute chance at the back post, it was Brazil s captain who sent a capacity crowd into raptures.
Neymar s 25-yard free-kick was simply sumptuous, leaving Timo Horn grasping helplessly as it found the net via the underside of his bar.
Germany refused to be daunted by the scoreline or a now ramped-up party atmosphere and a Meyer free-kick caused havoc his delivery from the left deflecting and skimming to top of the crossbar.
From the resulting corne…
Sean Dyche is super-proud of his Everton side, as well as the staff aiming to bolster his squad before the transfer window shuts.
Everton have lost their opening two Premier League games by an aggregate score of 7-0, and sit bottom of the early standings.
Dyche s team beat Doncaster Rovers 3-0 in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, and now prepare for an early-season crunch clash against Bournemouth at Goodison Park.
Everton, whose financial issues have been well documented, are still aiming to add to their squad before Friday s deadline, with midfielder Orel Mangala nearing a loan move from Lyon, while a winger is a target.
Uncertainty remains over Dominic Calvert-Lewin s future, too, but Dyche said he is content with the work everyone involved has done this window.…
