The New Orleans Saints head to Foxborough on Sunday to try and jump-start an offense that has scored just three touchdowns over 16 quarters. The England Patriots sit as a slight favorite in NFL odds with a total of 40 in a game trending towards Mac Jones and Derek Carr both starting.

With a stumbling offense, a banged-up Carr, and some possible poor passing conditions, is there any reason to back the Saints offense, especially when the Pats brought in JC Jackson to replace an injured Christian Gonzalez?

Here are my free NFL picks for Week 5 odds between the Saints and Patriots.

The Detroit Lions, fresh off an NFC North clinching win, head to Dallas to take on a Cowboys team looking to end a two-game losing streak. 

Will this be a letdown spot for the Lions? Or will they rise to the occasion and hand the Cowboys a third consecutive loss and have them limp into the postseason? 

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 Lions/Cowboys directly from legal sports betting sites?

The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins both needed come-from-behind victories in Week 1, setting up what looks like another close contest for Thursday Night Football.

The NFL Week 2 odds have the Dolphins as slim home favorites, with the Monday morning markets ranging from -1 to -2. This is a huge game for these AFC East rivals, and my Bills vs. Dolphins predictions back the slim underdogs to get the inside track on a tight divisional race.

I size up the opening odds, early movement, and outstanding edges as I give my early lean on NFL picks for September 12.

The knockout phase was ushered in by Edinson Cavani and Uruguay in Sochi as Cristiano Ronaldo exited the World Cup along with Lionel Messi.

Cavani was at the double, upstaging five-time Ballon d Or winner Ronaldo, to see Uruguay to a 2-1 win at Fisht Stadium and a spot in the quarter-finals.

While there was plenty of action on the field, the atmosphere failed to live up to that produced by fans of Peru, who left this particular Omnisport reporter stunned just days earlier along the Black Sea.

After Germany and Sweden rolled through town, it was a sea of red, reminiscent of a fixture in Lima, as Peru drowned out their Australia counterparts with deafening noise throughout the 90 minutes.

The Aussies struggled to match Peru and angered officials by weari…

Mikel Arteta has committed his future to Arsenal by penning a new long-term contract with the club.

Arteta took charge of the Gunners in December 2019 following Unai Emery s exit and has led them to successive second-placed Premier League finishes in the last two seasons.

The Spaniard, who made 150 appearances for Arsenal as a player between 2011 and 2016, also oversaw an FA Cup final victory over Chelsea in 2020 and has lifted the Community Shield on two occasions as the Gunners head coach.

Arteta had entered the final 12 months of his contract at the Emirates Stadium, but reports earlier this week claimed he had agreed a new deal to run until 2027.

Arsenal confirmed he had put pen to paper on Thursday, with co-chairman Josh Kroenke telling the club s we…

England reached their first European Championship final as an extra-time goal from Harry Kane sealed a 2-1 win over Denmark at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday. 

The Three Lions had lost their only previous two semi-finals in the competition – against Yugoslavia in 1968 and Germany in 1996 – but Kane stroked home after his initial penalty had been saved by Kasper Schmeichel in the 104th minute to ensure they will face Italy in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday. 

Mikkel Damsgaard had put Denmark ahead on the half-hour mark with a superb free-kick before Gareth Southgate’s side pulled level before the break when Simon Kjaer bundled into his own net under pressure from Raheem Sterling. 

England were unable to find a winner inside 90 minutes, but Kane secured a m…

Juventus became Serie A champions for the eighth successive season by beating Fiorentina 2-1 at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

Success looked a formality for much of the campaign for Massimiliano Allegri s men, as they were once more far and away the best team in Italy and Napoli could not exert as much pressure as last term.

Just two league defeats Cristiano Ronaldo was rested in last weekend s loss to SPAL and also when they lost their unbeaten run at Genoa in March meant Napoli s hopes of clawing back a double-figure deficit had long since disappeared.

Allegri s side clinched the Scudetto with five matches to play, levelling the record for the fastest title triumph in Serie A history since three points were first awarded for a win in 1994-95.

Sunderland boss Martin O Neill is in desperate need of a victory at Norwich on Sunday

This weekend’s Premier League programme kicks-off at the Boleyn Ground, where West Ham host Chelsea.

The visitors have drawn their first two games 0-0 under new boss Rafa Benitez and have been poor.

The Blues are now seven points behind league leaders Manchester United and are in desperate of some inspiration.

The arrival of Benitez has yet to bring the best out of their expensively assembled squad.

The home side have enjoyed a good season so far, but are currently in the midst of a difficult run of games. Sam Allardyce’s men lost 1-0 at Manchester United last time out. The Irons have dropped into tenth place after consecutive defeats.

League leaders…

Four of Manchester City s six Premier League triumphs have gone right to the wire, where margins are so fine the title battle can be settled by a single man in a single moment.

Sergio Aguero of course set the standard in 2011-12 with surely the most iconic goal of the Premier League era, defeating QPR at the death and clinching a first City championship in 44 years.

Then, in 2018-19, it was Vincent Kompany s turn. Although the departing City captain made only 17 league appearances that year, he will forever be associated with the title win after his thunderous strike secured a vital late-season victory over Leicester City.

Where do you want your statue, Vincent Kompany? asked Sky Sports Gary Neville. Both Aguero and Kompany – and those celebrations – have…

Ahh, Week 2 of NFL betting, when opening week results can lead to overreactions from the public. We might be seeing one such line this Sunday as the Philadelphia Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers as 3-point underdogs.

The Eagles entered the season with the Over/Under on their win total set at just 6.5 but after a dominant performance in Week 1, they are seeing a short line as they welcome the Super Bowl contender 49ers to Lincoln Financial Field.

Here are our best free 49ers vs. Eagles picks and predictions for Sunday, September 19, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET.
