The last regular season ended with a game for the ages between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers, and in Week 1, we’ll be treated to a rematch as the Raiders head to their old stomping ground.
Vegas sees a major boost to its pass-catching corps here, with Darren Waller back at full health and Davante Adams making his Raider debut, while L.A. carries the weight of expectation into a new season — a standing that has never gone wrong for the Bolts before.
Ahead of Week 1, we break down the prop market for Raiders vs. Chargers with our best NFL player prop picks.

The 2023 NFL season is just around the corner, and there are more NFL odds markets than ever to explore. While quarterback remains the most important position on the field, every football fan knows the importance of the players who get after the QB as well. Taking the Over on offensive props can be a betting trap, and I expect that to hold true for many of the defensive player props this year as well.
While I’m fading a few feared pass rushers this season, I’m also backing a consistent sack artist and putting my money on a sophomore who is poised to break out. Here are my Top 5 free NFL picks targeting sacks for the 2023 NFL season.

Coming into this season, most pegged the Buffalo Bills to contend for a Super Bowl, and while they may yet do so, the product through nine games has been inconsistent at best. Now they return home to face a Denver Broncos side that many expected to take a step forward under Sean Payton, but that’s also failed to materialize. The NFL odds have the Bills laying seven points as home favorites with the total sitting at 47.
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 Broncos/Bills directly from legal sports betting sites?

Super Bowl 58 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers is shaping up to be the most-viewed NFL championship game of all-time. NFL odds for the official viewership set by one sportsbook is 117.5 million viewers with the Over heavily juiced. That same book sets the female viewership share at 46.5% thanks to the expected appearance of Taylor Swift.
The game attracts many causal observers who, quite frankly, do not come to talk about the Chiefs’ pursuit of a dynasty or what their Super Bowl odds are. They don’t care about the schematic edge inherent to Christian McCaffrey’s mere presence. If you find yourself watching the game with some of these “fans” you can debate when to kick a field goal or when to go for…

Colts vs Jaguars prediction
My best betBrian Thomas Over 50.5 receiving yards (-135 at BetMGM)
My analysis
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Brian Thomas has been a lone bright spot through the first four weeks, boasting 17 receptions for 275 yards and a pair of scores on just 26 targets. His 12.8 aDOT and 10.6 yards per target are high-end marks, and he’s c…
J.T. Poston shot an 8-under-par round of 63 to build a three-shot lead after Thursday's morning wave of the first round of the RBC Heritage on Hilton Head Island, S.C. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler carded a 2-under 69 at Harbour Town Golf Links four days after claiming his second Masters title. Scheffler, who is seeking his fourth win in his past five starts, rebounded from a double bogey on the third hole to sink four birdies on the day and record his 37th consecutive round of par or better. "I felt like I played a lot better than my score," he said. "I tried to give myself a little bit of grace today, just because I was a bit tired. I shanked that bunker shot today on 3 and I was kind of like, ‘OK, that's a bit unusual. I think maybe mentally I might not qui…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic took some time off from co-hosting the Sanremo Music Festival to watch Milan draw with Udinese on Wednesday. After weeks of anguished speculation about how his involvement in the event might affect his team’s title push, the Swede had picked up a thigh injury that ruled him out of this game regardless.

Nevertheless, after appearing on stage for the festival’s opening night on Tuesday, he made the 170-mile return journey to sit with teammates on the bench. Ibrahimovic could do nothing to help as Milan coughed up another two points in a title race that is starting to slip away from them.
The Rossoneri were lucky to take a…
Bob Dylan once had a piece of advice for aspiring artists: write 10 songs a day, and then discard nine. In a way this also appears to be Todd Boehly’s approach to improving English football. He is just putting stuff out there, you see. Running ideas up the flagpole and seeing if anyone salutes them. Throwing them out on the stoop and seeing if the cat licks them up. Not necessarily good ideas. Or practical ideas. Or popular ideas. Or ideas that really bear the weight of a moment’s logical thought. But ideas nonetheless.
As such it is not necessary at this stage actually to engage what the Chelsea owner said on stage at Bros, Brews and Brunch business conference in Jerky Falls, Connecticut last week. Spoiler: none of this is actually goin…
With 96 minutes gone in this agreeably fevered north London derby a small, stricken-looking man in a tracksuit could be seen leaping across the touchline at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, arms waving furiously, before being dragged back off the pitch by the fourth official.
Arsenal’s Nicolas Jover has been a pioneer of the fashion for set-piece coaches to pop up at every designated opportunity and assume a look of urgent command, apparently convinced that their presence sightly closer to the pitch, their personal voodoo, their revolving index fingers, will somehow affect events on it.

AFC North division preview 2024 predicted order of finish, record Cincinnati Bengals (11-6) A healthy Joe Burrow should have Cincinnati back in the playoff hunt for the third time in four seasons. The contract dispute with wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase could be a distraction. The Bengals have enough talent to overcome that challenge. Baltimore Ravens (11-6) Two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson and newly-signed four-time, Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry will be a formidable duo in the run game. The defense will be solid but the biggest question is with the offensive line, which has three new starters. Cleveland Browns (10-7) Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett leads one of the NFL's toughest defenses, which allowed a league-best 270.2 yards per game last seas…
