The 2022/23 season is about to start in all major European leagues, slightly earlier that usual due to the players obligations at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. It will therefore be a unique campaign, with a break for a major international tournament set within.
Let s take a look at some early odds when it comes to the French top flight, courtesy of .
Paris Saint-Germain 1/9
It hasn t been too hard to predict who would win the title in Ligue 1 for some time now, with Paris Saint-Germain vastly superior to every other club in France in terms of quality and financial power. The venture chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaifi won the crown of French football eight times in the last decade, which obviously speaks volumes.
Throw in the names of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and on…
River Plate (Argentina) and Flamengo (Brazil) will collide in the 2019 Copa Libertadores final. For the first time ever, the decisive match will be hosted in a one-legged tie on a neutral venue. After years of two-legged finals, the Copa Libertadores will replicate the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League system. This year, the venue will Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos in Santiago, Chile.
First, let’s a dive into the history of both sides in the tournament, as well as their head-to-head record in CONMEBOL competitions. The first thing we must take into account is that both sides already know what it feels to lift South America’s biggest club trophy.
Los Millonarios have won it four times – in 1986, 1996, 2015 and 2017. In fact, River Plate wi…
Scotland and Norway will both look to end a transitional year on a high when they meet in Molde on Tuesday.
The two go head to head in a friendly with one eye on building for the future, after both sides fell some way short of qualification for the World Cup in Brazil.
Scotland, who drew 0-0 with the United States on Friday, finished fourth in Group A, six points behind runners-up Croatia and 15 adrift of runaway group winners Belgium.
But they have begun to rebuild under boss Gordon Strachan, whose arrival has inspired something of an upturn in fortunes.
Strachan took over from Craig Levein in January and after a tricky start, which included defeats at home to Wales and away to Serbia, the Scots have impressed more recently, earning wins over Macedonia…
Despite failures in Europe and in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona have returned to the top of Spanish football by winning the 2022/23 La Liga title.
Barcelona are back, but not quite
The Catalans finished the campaign with 88 points, 10 more than arch-rivals Real Madrid and 11 more than third-place Atletico Madrid. It took four years, a period riddled with all sorts of problems on and off the pitch, mostly financial.
The club have frequently been forced to part ways with major earners in their squad to cut down on salary expenses, as well as to offer those who were planned for new contracts salary deductions too. It was obviously very painful for everyone connected with club when they failed to put together a viable solution for Lionel Messi to remain at the club two years…
Two teams facing crossroads in 2021 will square off to begin the NFL betting season, with the Minnesota Vikings heading to Ohio to face the Cincinnati Bengals.
Embattled head coach Mike Zimmer and Minnesota have seemingly been reaching the end of their current cycle for several years now, but with a win total Over/Under of 9, oddsmakers expect them to be in the playoff picture yet again. Third-year head coach Zac Taylor and Cincinnati, meanwhile, will try to finally get a long-needed rebuild off the ground.
Read on for our free Vikings vs. Bengals picks and predictions, with kickoff set for September 12.

Sunday’s NFC North matchup between the Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings is one of the true meaningless games in the Week 18 slate, as both teams are eliminated from the playoffs, so this doesn’t count for much beyond pride.
It still has the potential to be a good game, however, with the home Vikings as NFL betting chalk and both head coaches fighting for their futures.

One of the legends of the game will take on one of the hottest young quarterbacks in the league on Sunday when Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers take on the Miami Dolphins.
Miami can’t quite clinch a playoff spot this week, but a win would put it in a prime position to snag a Wild Card spot in the AFC. Meanwhile, Green Bay is on life support at 6-8, but has stayed alive thanks to a rejuvenated offense that is finally scoring points after struggling for much of the season.
How will Rodgers and Tagovailoa perform on Sunday afternoon? I’ll break it down with my favorite NFL player prop picks for the Christmas Day game between the Packers and the Dolphins. Be sure to also check out our Packers vs. Dolphins betting picks and predictions.

Tonight’s Monday Night Football contest should be an intriguing match between the Green Bay Packers and Las Vegas Raiders. Both teams are looking to jumpstart their season, but the biggest storyline is Raiders WR Davante Adams facing his former team for the first time — if he’s cleared to play after dealing with a shoulder injury much of last week. The NFL odds give the slight edge to the Raiders at -2.5, but I expect this game to be close throughout.
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 Packers/Raiders directly from legal sports betting sites?

The Carolina Panthers head to the Sunshine State to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in NFL action today. Carolina has the worst record in the league at 2-13 but Jacksonville hasn’t exactly looked good lately either, losing four in a row.
Oddsmakers expect the Jags to snap that skid in this Week 17 matchup with NFL odds installing them as 6.5-point home favorites. Here are my free NFL picks for the Panthers vs. Jaguars on December 31.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are 0-4 straight up and against the spread in their last four games and are coming off an ugly 30-12 loss to the Buccaneers. The biggest betting concern about backing the Jags right now is the h…
The theme for Week 2 in pretty much any NFL season is to not overreact. It’s pretty common knowledge that we get some results that turn out to be massive outliers in the season’s opening week, so don’t go wild basing too many of your Week 2 bets on what happened last week.
While some of the results could carry over — maybe the Saints are good and the Falcons stink, others will likely be corrected as all those star rookies can’t possibly be that bad… Sadly, Bryce Young probably is though.
While some teams and players quite simply aren’t themselves at this point of the season, we probably shouldn’t be confused by the performance of the Bengals in Week 1. While they’re still hovering around the top ten on the…
