Three Games to Watch During 2019-20 UEFA Champions League Week 5

Week 5 of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League will take place between Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Here are the three top matches to watch during this week’s slate.

Real Madrid vs PSG (Tuesday, 20:00 GMT)

Paris Saint-Germain have been one of the most dominant teams in the UEFA Champions League this season, winning their four matches while scoring 10 times and conceding none. The reigning Ligue 1 champions are one of three teams that have already clinched a spot in the knockout stages, and they will aim to take another step towards ending the group stage unscathed.

This will be their toughest test to date, though, as they will visit Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu. Even though Los Merengues have not been able to perform as expected, they are coming off back-to-back…

UEFA opens disciplinary proceedings against FA over Euro 2020 final

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against England s Football Association following an investigation into the chaotic scenes that marred the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.

Last month, UEFA confirmed an investigation had been launched into events involving supporters which occurred inside and around the stadium .

An ethics and disciplinary inspector was appointed by UEFA to look into the events that took place around the 1-1 draw between England and Italy, who prevailed on penalties.

And a brief statement released on Tuesday confirmed proceedings had been opened against the FA for a potential violation of Article 16(2)(h) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations for a lack of order or discipline by its supporters .

Damage was caused prior to the match as a…

Higuain almost left Real in 2012

Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain has revealed he almost left former club Real Madrid in 2012.

The Argentina international eventually moved away from the Santiago Bernabeu in July this year, having been at the Spanish club since December 2006.

Higuain has confirmed he considered an exit during the 2011-12 season, but decided to stay after winning La Liga under Jose Mourinho s management.

The day we won the league in 2011-12, there was a change in my mind, he told Cadena Cope.

The stadium sang for me to stay and in the end I continued for another season.

Higuain has scored six times in 12 appearances for Napoli, helping Rafa Benitez s side to second in Serie A.

He credits club president Aurelio De Laurentiis with playing a key role in encouraging him to …

Rams vs Bengals MNF Prop Bets: Stafford Lets it Fly in Cincy

We have an exciting non-conference matchup for the second leg of the MNF odds board when the Los Angeles Rams meet the winless Cincinnati Bengals at PayCor Stadium.

Best Spot Bets for NFL Week 14: Be Cautious of Chargers Eyeing Up Divisional Dance

When you’re this far down the NFL betting rabbit hole, you can’t just rely on numbers to lead you to profits. 

Factors beyond the analytics and power ratings rear their ugly heads in the home stretch of the schedule, with teams pushing for the playoffs, some counting down the days to the offseason, and all feeling the grind of the longest NFL slate ever.

That’s where situational capping comes in, better known as spot bets. I comb this week’s schedule for the best NFL Week 14 spot bets and angles with our letdown, lookahead and schedule spots to know.

Justin Herbert MNF Spotlight: Herbert Torches Broncos in the Air

AFC West hostilities will be renewed at SoFi Stadium on Monday Night Football as the Denver Broncos visit the Los Angeles Chargers. 

Denver has struggled so far in 2022, getting out of the gate at 2-3. L.A. is a bit better off at 3-2, but it needs a win here to avoid falling into a tie for second in the division. 

The outcome of the quarterback battle between the Broncos’ Russell Wilson and the Chargers’ Justin Herbert will likely go a long way in determining the winner of this tilt. Let’s zero in on the latter, and discuss our three favorite prop picks involving Herbert this Monday night.

How to Stream Bears vs Commanders Live Free — in the U.S.

The 0-4 Chicago Bears will have their work cut out for them tonight when they try to notch their first victory of the season against the 2-2 Washington Commanders. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong this year for the Bears, who have looked thoroughly lost on offense and are giving up the second most points per game in the league.

Adding injury to insult, Jaylon Johnson and Eddie Jackson didn’t participate in practices earlier this week, leaving Chicago’s precariously thin secondary even more vulnerable than usual. Can the Bears break out of their slump this evening on Thursday Night Football, or will their nearly year-long losing streak continue?

While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to w…

Jordan Love Odds and MNF Props: Love is Kind to Over Bettors

Primetime games have been infested with backup quarterbacks all season long, and that won’t change tonight in Week 14 with Tommy DeVito set to start once again for the New York Giants. It’s perfect because on the other side, the Green Bay Packers will be tossing out one of the most scrutinized backups in the NFL over the last few years in Jordan Love, who has finally gotten the training wheels taken off in 2023.

All of the agonizing and second-guessing in Title Town over the Aaron Rodgers succession plan seems to have been for nothing, with the state of Wisconsin finding out the Love era could continue the franchise’s string of special quarterback play. 

You can see how I’m betting on the Jordan Love odds as we dive into the MNF od…

Jacksonville Jaguars Odds, Predictions & Season Preview for 2024: T-Law & Co. In for Pain

The Jacksonville Jaguars looked ready to make a run at the AFC elite through the first three months of 2023 before December decimated an 8-3 straight up and against the spread record in the opening 11 games. 

The Jags can either use their 1-5 faceplant to end 2023 as motivation for this upcoming year or let that late-season collapse set the tone for 2024.

Jacksonville doesn’t carry the same expectations as last year, forecasting to fight for second place in the AFC South with an 8.5 win total while giving points in just nine games. The schedule is also much stiffer than last season too, with several contenders sprinkled throughout and divisional foes like Houston and Indianapolis on the up-and-up.

Can Doug Pederson turn lemons into lemonade o…

Tuchel urges Scotland to pick Gilmour despite lack of Chelsea gametime

Thomas Tuchel believes he was right not to let Billy Gilmour leave Chelsea on loan in January, even though the midfielder has been left out of the Scotland squad.

Gilmour has made only one appearance for Tuchel and his hopes of playing at Euro 2020 are fading because of his lack of playing time. Yet Chelsea’s manager stands by his decision not to grant the 19-year-old a short-term move and urged Steve Clarke to pick the youngster, who has not been included for Scotland’s World Cup qualifiers against Austria, Israel and the Faroe Islands.

“It’s absolutely no mistake,” Tuchel said. “It was unfortunately not his choice.…
