Both the Las Vegas Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals will be riding into Thursday’s cold Wild Card game with a quarterback and a head coach with zero playoff experience. The Bengals opened as 6.5-point favorites but sharp money has moved that line down to -5.5 which is more of a lack of confidence in the Bengals than a vote for the Raiders.
Can Joe Burrow stay upright versus this Vegas pass rush? Can the Raiders move the ball with vanilla quarterback and running back play? Find out in our free player props and predictions for the Raiders vs. Bengals.

A playoff berth will be on the line at Lambeau Field when the Detroit Lions take on the Green Bay Packers in the final regular season game of the season.
The Lions need the Los Angeles Rams to beat the Seattle Seahawks to have a shot at making the postseason, while the Packers have a simple task… win, and they’re in.
If the Packers prevail, it will more than likely be because their star quarterback had a big night under center. With that in mind, here are my three favorite Aaron Rodgers NFL player props for January 8.

The Kansas City Chiefs head to U.S. Bank Stadium to face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Vikes began their season with three consecutive defeats but snapped out of that slump by beating the Panthers last week.

NFL odds opened with the Chiefs as 6-point road favorites before slimming to -3.5. Here are my best free Chiefs vs. Vikings free NFL picks and predictions for October 8.

Carlos Cordeiro has resigned as US Soccer Federation president three days after the organization filed legal papers in a gender discrimination case claiming female players had less physical ability and responsibility than men.
His decision elevated the former American midfielder Cindy Parlow Cone to become the first female president in the history of the federation.
Cordeiro announced his resignation on Twitter without telling the federation’s communications staff. He stepped down on a day several USSF board members issued extraordinary rebukes that criticized the governing body’s legal filings. Among them were Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber and Cone, the federation’s vice-president.
Ralph Hasenhuttl was left counting the cost of Southampton’s dramatic extra-time FA Cup win over Coventry. His side needed a fine Stuart Armstrong strike and a 112th-minute goal from Kyle Walker-Peters to seal a 2-1 victory, but the hosts lost defender Lyanco to a hamstring injury while striker Armando Broja had to be carried off.
“It’s not good,” was Hasenhuttl’s verdict on the pair. “Lyanco’s injury is very serious. Broja’s is the top of the knee and we’ll have to look at how serious it is. In an FA Cup game you cannot really control what happens. They are always so tight and so tough, especially against a team as organised as Coventry.”

Gareth Southgate has probably had warmer welcomes. When the England men’s manager emerged to greet 50 teenage girls at St George’s Park this week, he was met by screams of excitement. At least two of them. There was some polite clapping as well. But the general response, it is fair to say, was something closer to bemusement.
Southgate took it on the chin. He smiled and chatted with the young women who, in turn, warmed up and peppered him with questions. Largely teenagers from marginalised communities, they were at the England base to learn coaching and leadership skills as part of a programme run by the group Football Beyond Borders. That they may not have instantly recognised the men’s boss is perhaps not surprising. But they all love…

The first 10 picks of the NFL Draft are the Oscars in reverse. The biggest honorees are rewarded first. Fans show up and shout insults at the host and bone-rattling contact with Roger Goodell is encouraged. On that note, Goodell clearly spent the three years since the last NFL Draft that included live fans to concoct a draft hack for the deafening fan boos he used to receive. By walking to the stage behind current, former greats and kids, he was able to deftly bask in their adulation. It was almost as conniving as Greg Stillson using a baby as a shield. The 2022 Draft featured no quarterbacks in the top 10 picks for the first time since 1997, but the talent at receiver and on the defense was plentiful. 1.
