21-03-2010 Manchester United vs Liverpool

Every year this is a titanic clash, and this year will be no different, with Alex Ferguson s United clinging on to a marginal lead in the league, and with Liverpoolo finally finding form and battling to rescue fourth spot and a place in champions league football next season.

Ferguson relishes these games which get the fans and the players pumping. A few months ago this might have been a bit of a damp squib but since Liverpool s fortunes have turned there is real spice in the fixture once more. With Ferguson being public enemy number one to Liverpool fans, league position will go out of the window for this one. Ferguson will want another victory over their arch rivals above all else. His odds look good to, with a good run of form behind them, but injuries to key defenders Brown …

Mount convinced to get COVID-19 vaccine after Euro 2020 isolation

Mason Mount says going through the experience of missing part of England s run to the Euro 2020 final after being forced to isolate played a part in his decision to get the COVID-19 vaccination.

The 22-year-old and team-mate Ben Chilwell were deemed close contacts of Scotland s Billy Gilmour, who tested positive for coronavirus after a stalemate with England at Wembley, and had to sit out the Three Lions  final group game with the Czech Republic.

He was back on the bench for the last-16 tie with Germany, but Gareth Southgate did not feel the Chelsea playmaker was fit enough to play a part and he was an unused substitute in a famous 2-0 win.

Under current coronavirus protocols, which have changed since June and July, those who have been fully vaccinated no longe…

On this day in 2014: David Moyes appointed Real Sociedad head coach

David Moyes was named as the new head coach of LaLiga side Real Sociedad, on this day in 2014.

Moyes, who was axed by Manchester United the previous April following a dismal first season in charge at Old Trafford, was handed a contract until June 2016 with the Spanish outfit.

Moyes left United just 10 months into a six-year deal after being named as the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson in the summer of 2013.

David Moyes has arrived in San Sebastián!

At the time of his departure, United – the defending champions – were seventh in the Premier League and 23 points behind leaders Liverpool.

The 20-time title winners had broken a host of unwanted records during his tenure, including failing to qualify f…

Cleveland Browns Odds, Predictions, and Betting Preview 2022: With or Without Watson, Bettors Beware the Browns

Cleveland Browns’ fans went from the embarrassment of always losing, to the embarrassment of failed expectations, to the embarrassment of the Deshaun Watson contract. 

Aside from being a serial creep, Watson is an elite quarterback talent when on his game, and has much more around him in terms of talent and coaching in Cleveland than he did when piggybacking Houston to the playoffs all those years.

As of this writing, Watson will serve an 11-game suspension and all the legal sparring has had the Browns’ NFL odds in flux, with futures shifting since the spring and spreads and totals now finally reflecting the situation at quarterback.

What kind of product will the Factory of Sadness be pumping out this season? We find out in our Cleveland Brow…

Cowboys vs Seahawks Preseason Picks and Predictions: Offenses Exceed Expectations in Emerald City

In a wide-open NFC, the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys will have lofty expectations this year. Saturday’s preseason matchup gives both teams a chance to fine-tune their rosters.

The Seahawks largely sat their starters against the Minnesota Vikings last Thursday in their preseason opener but still came away with a 24-13 win, led by a steady performance from Drew Lock (191 passing yards with two touchdowns and a pick). 

A similarly eye-catching quarterback outing from Will Grier (199 passing yards with two touchdown passes and an interception) kept the Cowboys afloat in Saturday’s 28-23 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now both teams have to decide whether to sprinkle in some minutes for their starters this weekend with the regular season …

Giants vs Cowboys Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 10: Ferguson's Growth Continues

The last time the New York Giants tangled with division rivals the Dallas Cowboys, they got blasted 40-0 at home.

By the looks of the Week 10 odds, books don’t expect much improvement from New York on Sunday.

Dallas is laying as many as 17 points at home this Sunday, marking the largest NFL odds spread of the 2023 season so far.

The number is warranted, considering the Giants are playing back-to-back road games, coming off a 30-6 defeat in Las Vegas, and starting third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito against a vaunted Cowboys defense.

That pile of chalk may scare away some bettors, but big favorites have made good of those lofty lines so far this season with double-digit faves going 7-3 against the spread.

I break down that big sprea…

The Best Time to Make Your Super Bowl Bets

The Super Bowl is a unique event for sports bettors and sports fans alike.

Odds on the Super Bowl are the tightest and most finely tuned numbers of the entire sports wagering calendar, as it will be the biggest single betting event for bookmakers in North America — and draw a global audience.

Dak Prescott Picks, Predictions, and Best Bets for Sunday Night Football

Here we gooooo!

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys escaped Week 4 with a narrow Thursday night win and are back on prime time as they travel to take on the stout Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

I’ve taken a look through the Dak Prescott odds available, and I believe the best value is to bet on him to throw no interceptions on Sunday, October 6.

FC Dallas v Houston Dynamo: Arriola says hosts must pay supporters back

Midfielder Paul Arriola says FC Dallas need to start paying their supporters back in Saturday s Texas derby against the Houston Dynamo, having failed to impress in the early stages of the season.

Dallas sit 13th in the Western Conference standings with just five points from eight matches in 2024, their only victory coming against the San Jose Earthquakes in their season opener.

They have only taken two points from seven matches since then, putting head coach Nico Estevez under pressure.

However, Arriola says a clash with their biggest rivals at Toyota Stadium represents a chance to put things right.

Our fans have been great all season, we haven t shown up for them. It is motivation for us to go and beat Houston on Saturday and obtain three points, he sa…
