I was blanked for the first time last week, but Week 9 odds are here and I’m still up +14.145 units on the season with touchdown props. There are a ton of great TD angles in the NFL odds this week, but I’ve settled on three free NFL picks which are all paying at least +175.
For Week 9 NFL props, I’m backing a gadget player who is getting a ton of red-zone work, betting on more TDs from the Colts, and getting a great price in possibly the highest-scoring game of the week.

NFL fans are salivating at the chance to watch another installment of the Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes rivalry. We’ve seen so many great games between the two and with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line, these two elite QBs are sure to pull out all the stops.
Can Buffalo’s injury-riddled defense contain Mahomes? Or will Josh Allen do enough with his legs to overcome a good Chiefs defense?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Chiefs/Bills directly from legal sports betting sites?

An AFC rivalry dominated recently by one team renews on Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Indy to take on the Indianapolis Colts.
Pittsburgh is surprisingly 3-0 with an incredible stop unit, and my Steelers vs. Colts predictions believe their defense will reign supreme.
Read all about it in my NFL picks for September 29.
Steelers vs Colts prediction
My best betUnder 40 (-110 at BetMGM)
My analysisThe Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to allow more than 10 points in a game and run an extremely balanced offense limiting any mistakes they can make. Pittsburgh has turned the ball over only once and has forced five turnovers.
Now it gets an Indianapolis Colts offense struggling to get a passing game going.&nb…
1. Chicago Bears Caleb Williams, QB, USC The quarterback with the highest upside on the board, the Bears reset priorities to help the unique but talented Williams reach his Patrick Mahomes-like ceiling. 2. Washington Commanders Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina The Commanders secure the best QB available. Even without Williams' immense upside, Maye is comfortable in the pocket and capable in the "Air Raid" derivative scheme employed by new coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. 3. New England Patriots Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU A trade wouldn't be a surprise here but predicting the priorities and appetite for risk from personnel boss Eliot Wolf and head coach Jerod Mayo isn't easy. In the Heisman winner the Patriots would have a dual-threat quarterback with a quick trigge…
ANOTHER SWEET DEAL AT ANFIELD
A couple of years ago, our friend and yours Sid Lowe interviewed Bayern Munich’s Thiago Alcântara. The Premier League, he said, was “the league I most enjoy”, with the players at one club in particular singled out for praise. “Look at Liverpool’s midfield: Henderson, Milner, Chamberlain, they pressed like animals in [Big Cup],” he said. “They ate up the midfield. They were fantastic.” Generally the only people who talk about the press in England being like animals are put-upon, scandal-haunted celebrities, tired of being chased by moped-riding photographers and having hacks camp on their families’ front lawns, so this was definitely an improvement. But the P…
Nottingham Forest have signed the defender Omar Richards from Bayern Munich on a four-year contract. Richards, who made 17 appearances in all competitions for the German champions last season after making the move from Reading last summer, has joined the promoted Premier League side for a fee of £8.5m.
The 24-year-old told Forest’s website: “I’m thrilled to return to England by joining Nottingham Forest at such an exciting time. The club has enjoyed an incredible last few months and there’s great ambitions for the Premier League return.

A new season brings hope — when the game is played on paper, it always seems easier to win.
It also brings doubt. What if we missed on our offseason signings? What if a European suitor snags our best player in the summer window? What if we, uh, forgot to hire a coach?
Ahead of the 2024 MLS season, which kicks off on 21 February, here’s why all 29 teams should be worried.
Atlanta United
Reason to worry: Replacing Thiago Almada in the summer could derail the season
The January transfer window was quiet in most of Europe’s big leagues. The same won’t be true in the summer, when Atlanta United will be offered a pot…
It’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through baseball season, and it was all commemorated with an entertaining yet forgettable Midsummer Classic.The All-Star Game doesn’t mean much anymore, ever since the MLB changed the rules from the winning league getting home field advantage in the World Series.While the American League beat the National League 5-3 and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez won the Home Run Derby, there were many more winners and losers from this year’s event. Let’s take a look and start with the winners.Winner: City of Arlington, TexasBy all accounts, the city of Arlington was a phenomenal host for the MLB All-Star festivities. The beautiful Globe Life Field got a ton of national airtime and exposure these last few days on ESPN and FOX.…
Potential is a sly word, as it’s just a nice way to say someone hasn’t done anything yet. It’s a label we attach to people and things that we believe will be able to achieve a certain level of success. Potential is great to have until you don’t do anything with it. Hi, Brad Stevens. According to multiple reports, Stevens is out in Boston as their head coach and will move to the front office, as longtime General Manager – and Celtics legend – Danny Ainge is retiring. The often-maligned Ainge is sliding out the back door while Stevens is moving to a nice cushy office position. “I’m grateful to ownership and to Danny for trusting me with this opportunity,” Stevens said in a team statement. “I’m excited to tackle this new role, starting with a wide-ranging and compre…
Wilyer Abreu and Connor Wong each drove in a pair of runs as the Boston Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the host Tampa Bay Rays with an 8-5 win on Wednesday. Rob Refsnyder's leadoff single was the lone Boston hit through four innings against Tampa Bay starter Ryan Pepiot, but a five-run, five-hit fifth inning against three pitchers flipped the script of the game for good. Abreu hit a two-run home run in the big inning. Refsnyder matched him with a 2-for-4 performance. Ceddanne Rafaela crossed the plate twice. Brayan Bello (5-2) struck out six across six innings of four-hit, three-run ball to earn the win for the Red Sox, who secured their first road sweep of the Rays since April 2019. Tampa Bay's Jose Caballero and Richie Palacios each had two hits and scored a run. …
