Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini can t afford his team to slip up at Southapton this weekend
This weekend’s Premier League programme kicks-off with Newcastle’s visit to Tottenham’s White Hart Lane in the early kick-off.
The home side are enjoying a good season and could go above third place Chelsea in the Premier League table, should the Blues slip-up at home against Wigan.
The home side will be without key striker Jermain Defoe, who could be on the sidelines for up to three weeks. Spurs may start this clash with Emmanuel Adebayor up front, but Clint Dempsey could fill-in up top.
Newcastle have experienced an upturn in form since the arrival of the likes of Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko.
The Magpies have claimed two consecutive victo…
Vincenzo Italiano has urged Fiorentina to use their bitterness from last year s defeat in the Europa Conference League final against Olympiacos on Wednesday.
Fiorentina lost the 2023 Europa Conference League final in Prague to West Ham 2-1, conceding in the 90th minute to miss out on the chance to lift the trophy.
The Viola have not lost a game in the competition on the way to the final, holding off Club Brugge 4-3 on aggregate to reach the final for the second consecutive year.
Despite suffering disappointment last year, Italiano is hopeful his team can use that as a lesson to lead them to the trophy this time around.
The only thing that s different is that we ve already experienced certain things, Italiano told a press conference before Wednesday s fin…
A non-conference kickoff is one of the more intriguing games on the NFL Week 1 slate, with the Arizona Cardinals coming to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans.
The NFL betting odds have hovered around a field-goal spread for this game, with Tennessee currently sitting as a 3-point favorite.
The Titans appear to have the inside track in the AFC South — possibly the weakest division in football — while the Cardinals try to claw their way to the top of the NFC West (arguably the toughest grouping in the league).
Here are free NFL picks and predictions for Cardinals at Titans on September 12.

Quality versus quantity.
This debate stretches to the far reaches of our lives, from work to home, and especially at the sportsbook when making our weekly NFL picks.
Case in point: I recently purchased a new garlic press. I know, exciting stuff. Stay with me though.
Before I made a move, I debated buying a quality one for $20 or grabbing a shitty one from the Dollar Store for $3 — which was why I needed a new garlic press in the first place. My old shitty $3 one broke about eight months after replacing the $3 one before that.
At work, I’m always juggling quality and quantity. I want to provide as much insight and information into the NFL odds as I can but have multiple games to cover and deadlines to meet. I lean into the heavy-hittin…
The Dallas Cowboys, anointed by some as the best team in the NFL just a few weeks ago, have lost their luster following two straight losses. Those came on the road, where Dallas has struggled all season, and they came to two quality opponents in the Bills and Dolphins.
The Cowboys will now return home, where they’re unbeaten in seven games this season, but waiting for them in the Week 17 odds will be a strong Lions team which has gone an impressive 6-2 away from home this season.
Without further ado, let’s break down the SNF odds and give you our best NFL picks for this special edition of Saturday Night Football.
Don’t forget to look at our full-game Lions vs. Cowboys predictions, as well as our Dak Prescott odds spotlight.

It’s the Aaron Rodgers debut — take two.
The New York Jets QB is hoping for a better result than last year in his return to action against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 1.
