The look-ahead lines for Week 16 odds are out, with the majority of the slate (11/16 games) happening on Saturday, December 24… and just three games on Sunday, December 25.
Looking through the early lines, there’s one game that stands out now as a holiday betting gift, just waiting to be unwrapped on Christmas Eve.
Trust me, it’s not that weird: When my sister and I were kids, our family used to let us open one (and one only) present on the night before Christmas. If that’s a tradition you never had… well, consider this your chance to experience the joy of getting a gift before Christmas Day.
In this case, Santa and his reindeer (or are they the elves?) take the form of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs laying single digits at home against …
Flacco-mania returns home tonight as Joe Flacco and the 10-5 SU Cleveland Browns look to stay near the top of the AFC standings as they welcome the New York Jets as a touchdown favorite to kick off the Week 17 slate in TNF odds.
After the Jets’ 30-point outburst last week was aided by Sam Howell’s errors, is Thursday night the time to get back to fading the Jets’ offense in the NFL odds with Trevor Siemian likely under center?

The Cleveland Browns are slight home favorites against the Dallas Cowboys to open the season on Sunday afternoon.
With a tight line, let’s look at my favorite NFL player props for Sunday’s matchup.

Rodrigo De Paul says the Argentina captaincy still belongs to Lionel Messi despite his extended injury lay-off.
The Inter Miami star has been out of action since the Copa America final due to an ankle injury and will not be involved in Argentina s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia.
Messi is still a key part of Lionel Sclaoni s plans with the national side, and he played in all but one of their games at that tournament, though only registered one goal and one assist for the tournament.
Angel Di Maria retired from international duty after their Copa America triumph and was the usual deputy to Messi, who has captained Albiceleste since 2011.
With neither of those two available, it is expected that De Paul, who has 69 international cap…
Liverpool s frustrating run continued as they slipped to a 1-0 Premier League defeat against Southampton, handing further impetus to Manchester United and the chasing pack.
Having drawn their final two games of 2020 to West Brom and Newcastle United, Liverpool were downed by an early goal from their former striker Danny Ings at St Mary s.
They remain top, above United on goal difference having played a game more ahead of a crunch clash between the two old rivals at Anfield on January 17.
Ings earliest goal of his Premier League career came after Liverpool switched off from a James Ward-Prowse free-kick.
Southampton might have added to their lead before half-time, but although Jurgen Klopp s champions dominated after the restart, they could not avoid a …
Javier Hernandez was the super sub for Manchester United, as the Mexican helped his side come back from two goals down to beat Villa 3-2.
Saturday’s Premier League action produced a host of goals as usual.
One of the games of the day saw Arsenal and Fulham draw 3-3 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners took the lead on 11 minutes, Oliver Giroud beating Aaron Hughes to the ball to head home Theo Walcott’s corner.
German international striker Lukas Podolski flicked Arsenal into a two goal lead on 23 minutes, after being setup by Mikel Arteta. Fulham were back in the game in the 29th minute, Dimitar Berbatov heading home Bryan Ruiz’s corner when left completely unmarked.
Fulham were back on level terms in the 40th minute, as substitute Alex Kac…
Liverpool made a pre-tax loss of £9million last season as increased commercial income did not offset a drop in money made from media and matchday revenues.
The previous 12 months had produced a small profit of £7.5m.
Liverpool’s biggest income stream in 2022-23 was the £272million, up £25m, generated from off-field income but a last-16 Champions League exit a year after reaching the final meant television money dropped by £19m to £242m.
Matchday revenue also fell by £7m due to fewer games being played across last season after the previous campaign when the club played in every fixture – a total of 63 – they were eligible for, winning both domestic cups and reaching the Champions League final.
While overall revenue remained the same at £594m,…
