The Indianapolis Colts are off to the desert to take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16 of the NFL season on Saturday. The Colts have been playing some inspired football of late while the Cardinals have lost consecutive games they probably shouldn’t have against the Rams and especially the lowly Lions. 

This is the second of two games taking place on Christmas Day and it should be a very competitive matchup if both teams bring their A games. NFL betting lines opening with Arizona as a 1.5-point home favorite before moving to -3 on Saturday afternoon.

Is Santa going to reward the Cards for being good this year or will Indianapolis dump coal in their stocking? We let you know what we think with our best free Colts vs. Cardinals betting picks and prediction…

Finally — a Thursday Night Football matchup (non-Thanksgiving edition) we can get excited about.

A divisional matchup! Teams that aren’t five games below .500! Players who are actually on people’s fantasy teams!

Yes, Week 13 odds kick off with the Bills visiting Foxboro to face the Patriots — with the biggest focus (and my betting spotlight) on Josh Allen props.

Buffalo’s star QB has been in a bit of a rut lately, and the lines this week for his NFL player props are depressed against a stout New England defense. My free NFL picks don’t expect Allen to suddenly get back to his early-season ways — read below to see how I’m betting Allen for TNF.

Thursday Night Football will shift indoors tonight in a matchup between a pair of 7-7 teams that can’t afford another loss as the Los Angeles Rams host the New Orleans Saints as a 4-point home favorite on the TNF odds. 

With Kyren Williams transforming this L.A. offense and likely having his way with the Saints defense, is having the visitors in catch-up mode indoors enough to get on these moving NFL odds?

I break down the Week 16 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for Saints vs. Rams on December 21.

Emile Smith Rowe has been rewarded for his impressive Arsenal form with a first call-up to the England senior squad after the withdrawals of Marcus Rashford and James Ward-Prowse.

The 21-year-old was initially overlooked by Gareth Southgate for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino, and had been due to join Lee Carsley’s under-21s for Thursday’s European Championship qualifier against the Czech Republic at Turf Moor. But the midfielder was promoted by Southgate on Monday and has reported for international duty at St George’s Park.

Manchester City’s owner, Sheikh Mansour, attended his team’s Champions League final victory against Internazionale on Saturday evening. The sheikh was present in Istanbul as City won Europe’s top club prize for the first time.

It was only the second competitive game he has attended since his investment vehicle, the Abu Dhabi United Group, purchased City in 2008. He missed the 2021 final that City lost to Chelsea in Porto, but made arrangements to be in Turkey. Khaldoon al-Mubarak, City’s chairman, was also at the showpiece match at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

The only previous City match Sheikh Mansour attended was almost 13 years ago when he visited the Etihad Stadium to witness a 3-0 victory over Liverpoo…

Back in March 2017, the charter plane of the Michigan men’s basketball team aborted takeoff from an airport in Ypsilanti, crashed through a chain link fence beyond the end of the runway, and came to rest in a field beyond a surface road and a ditch beyond the airport boundary. The plane was all trashed up, but everyone aboard survived. The National Transportation Safety Board this week released their report on the accident, and, my friends, it is terrifying. The pilot of the aircraft, a man named Mark Radloff, made the decision to abandon takeoff after the plane reached “V1,” which is a speed that is determined by a conditions-dependent equation, and is described as “the maximum speed in the takeoff by which a rejected takeoff must be initiated to ensure that a safe stop can be…

Boy, what a year for jams, huh? From the creepy alt-R&B seductions of FKA Twigs to the '80s-dad mewlings of the War on Drugs to the incendiary political raps of Run the Jewels to the … yeah, forget it. This was the real shit in 2014.
