The Manchester Derby has been all City in recent years, with Pep & Co. running riot over a dysfunctional Manchester United. With the Red Devils back to respectability, our EPL picks don't expect an easy 90 minutes for Man City. Manchester United will play host to bitter rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford to decide whether the city shall be red…

The Montreal Canadiens have hit the halfway point of the 2022-23 season and while their overall record is better than last year at this time, it's clear the team is still suffering through rebuilding pains and the roster remains a work in progress with significant holes to fill. The arrival of 2023 means that the fun is about to begin for the front…

Reading will host Watford at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday (January 7) in the third round of the FA Cup. It has been a tough season on the league front for the Royals, who're languishing in 13th in the EFL Championship with 36 points from 26 games. This weekend, it's the FA Cup! ��And with a two-time winner as our boss, we take a look…

The NBA trade deadline is a little over a month away, and we've been digging into what that might look like for the Knicks. A strong December has them looking like buyers at the deadline, so the first part of the conversation was which current Knicks might be traded away, and we dove into that yesterday, so check it out here. The next, and…

The Philadelphia 76ers recently acquired James Harden, and they are looking to make it pat the second round of the playoffs and finally win a championship together. Harden fixes so much of what this team was missing, and the Sixers have looked like a brand new team since Harden's arrival. With that being said, let's take a look at a few bold…

The Gallagher Premiership is back and now in full swing. Most of the internationals have made a return to their clubs after a busy summer period at Test level too. Eyes are coming around to the national team once more. The Autumn Internationals and the Six Nations are the last opportunities for Eddie Jones to whittle down the huge English player…

The 150th Open Championship got underway in style Thursday with those in the morning wave experiencing much tamer conditions compared to those in the afternoon. The man who was able to conquer the Old Course at St. Andrews most effectively was PGA Tour rookie and Open debutant Cameron Young. Signing for an 8-under 64, Young will hope to follow in…

New York looks to play spoiler against Charlotte again tonight, and while the spread and total might be iffy propositions, there's a triggerman on the Knicks who's hotter than molten lava and needs to be bet.

MANCHESTER UNITED target Enzo Fernandez has been given a whopping £105m price tag by club Benfica. While United have been told that they must cough up Diogo Costa's £65million release clause if they want to sign the Porto keeper. United are on the hunt for a new shot-stopper with David De Gea seemingly heading for the exit. Meanwhile, the Red…

Now we come to our next era, and fans will become increasingly familiar with the players. I have referred to this era as the Reformists because two significant reformists movements occurred during this period. In 1962 New South Wales was so concerned at the drop in standards of Queensland rugby that they refused to play them. This was a slight that…

An article of faith in rugby is our game is for all shapes and sizes. Witness the lumpy ballasted prop. The yapping gymnast behind the ruck. Wispy wingers winging it out wide. Beanpoles gangling at lock. Some of us matured in such a jagged line we played in many numbers. Whilst we cannot imagine the granite-skulled Tadgh Furlong playing any…

Another day passes and the New York Islanders remain the only team not to have made a transaction since the opening of free agency, Calle Odelius aside. The Matthew Tkachuk situation seemingly presented opportunity for Isles GM Lou Lamoriello to become a beneficiary of the team that acquired the 24-year-old winger until the Florida Panthers swooped…

If you're the glass half-full type, it was another season of stellar defense in the Big Ten. Of the top 10 teams nationally in scoring defense, 5 were from the B1G. Glass half-empty types will point out that the ineptitude of Big Ten offenses could be a factor in this. But it's more of a chicken-and-egg scenario. Do Big Ten offenses struggle…

Tuesday's NBA schedule features five games, including a matchup between the long-time rival Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. The pregame narrative: Anthony Davis can be trusted to remain a monster on the glass, Jonas Valanciunas' role is shrinking before his eyes and James Harden is one of the league's most reliable sources of assists. Find…

A pair of Big Ten rivals meet in a cross-division showdown as No. 2 Ohio State welcomes Iowa in college football's Week 8 action on Saturday.

If there's one game Virginia had circled coming into this season once the schedule was released, it was the return of Florida State to Charlottesville. They'll be able to get their revenge from last year's disappointing loss with the first game in ACC play for the 2022-23 season. Let's revisit last year's game just briefly. For Florida State, this…

Not much may be on the line in this year's SEC Championship Game, but Georgia is looking to protect its undefeated record and No. 1 national ranking against West challenger LSU on Saturday.

TCU looks to sew up what looks like a guaranteed berth in the College Football Playoff when it faces off against challenger Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game on Saturday.

Arsenal have been nothing short of outstanding so far this season - but I can see them coming unstuck when they visit Chelsea on Sunday. The Blues have played a lot of different systems under Graham Potter with mixed results, while you tend to know exactly what you're going to get from Mikel Arteta's Gunners. However, I'm a firm believer that when…

The Red Sox have only played 28 games this season, so we're still in the early portion of the schedule. The issue is that these games count the same in the standings as any other in the regular season, and you can't return losses. Boston has 18 of those thus far, putting themselves in sole possession of last place in the American League East, with…

Give the Rangers this much: They're interesting, which beats unwatchable. On any given night, you never know what you might get. One minute, Eli White gives his teammates a ride on his Superman cape; he comes to the plate, and he's Clark Kent again. The bullpen comes to the rescue or sets itself on fire. Adolis Garcia runs through a wall or falls…

Injuries and/or "load management" have decimated what would've been an awesome NBA slate Tuesday. Ben Simmons makes his return to the City of Brotherly Love when the Brooklyn Nets visit the Philadelphia 76ers. But, Sixers big Joel Embiid and James Harden are both out with injuries. The Memphis Grizzlies hosting the Sacramento Kings should be an…

They say if you want excitement on track, just add water. But sometimes just the threat of wet weather is enough. Rain has been on the forecast all weekend, and having dampened the track before the start of qualifying, it was looming large on the radar again as the top-10 shootout got underway. It forced teams and drivers to do their best to…

A tight and scrappy affair saw Bath earn their first away victory of the season with a 17-10 win at Kingston Park on Saturday.

While Bath were looking to secure back-to-back wins under Johann van Graan for…

It has all the hallmarks of an epic World Cup semi-final and the upset is right on the cards.

The Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Check out our college football odds series for our Ohio State Penn State prediction and pick. This season in the Big Ten has been predictable in some ways, unpredictable in others. The predictable part has been that Ohio State and Michigan have established themselves at the top of the…

England fans may lament 56 years of hurt consisting of near-misses and penalty shoot-out losses since they were last world champions, but for neighbours and group opponents Wales, it's been 64 years of misery since they even qualified - barely even coming close since 1958. They were eventually knocked out at the quarter-finals stage in 1958 where a…

Arsenal will look to continue their stellar start to the Premier League campaign when they travel to Elland Road to take on Leeds United on Sunday.

Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Wednesday night, as the Reds take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (21-9-5) have won 11 of 12 and talked of creating a new winning streak after their recent 10-game streak ended last week in Dallas. The team is 16-3-1 in their last 20 games and has provided a fountain of youth for Jeff Carter, who will face his former team, the LA Kings, Thursday night at the Crypto.com Arena. The puck will…

Training camp is in full swing for the Dallas Stars. Now, I'm not going to sit here and pretend to act like I watch every single preseason game. Fact is, I don't. I usually don't watch preseason games in any sport (even football). I don't get hyped up with what happens in the preseason. Most of the times your starters aren't playing. Or, if they…

The January transfer window is open and Premier League clubs can start making moves until Jan. 31 at 6pm ET when the window shuts. Let the deals flow in the final hours.

As much as Luke Richardson has learned about Chicago since his hiring by the Blackhawks in June, the Montreal transplant occasionally shows he still is learning a few things about his adopted city.
