The Sacramento Kings have been red hot as of late, climbing to the No. 4 spot in the Western Conference with three straight dominant wins over a couple lowly teams in the NBA. Now, the Kings get to face arguably the worst team in the league, the San Antonio Spurs, who come into this game with the worst net rating in the NBA. The Kings are a…

Jones Knows is combining his three best angles of the weekend to conjure up a 11/1 treble that starts with the Manchester derby at lunchtime. Two points invested on Brentford to be caught offside three or more times vs Liverpool and Bryan Mbeumo to be caught offside at least once at 5/2 was a bet put up purely on Liverpool's rocketing offside…

Metropolitan racing heads to Rosehill Gardens on Saturday afternoon for a competitive 10-race program.

All roads lead to Newcastle for the running of the $1m The Hunter over 1300m. The race has drawn together a capacity field of 15 runners with four emergencies.

It is the great story of the understudy getting that one shot to step in for the star. One shot to step into the spotlight. And maybe even stay there. When Drew Bledsoe got hurt, in came Tom Brady. Wally Pipp was replaced by Lou Gehrig. Phil Fulmer less elegantly for Johnny Majors. On the other hand, sports are full of one-hit wonders like Jeremy…

The argument for Williams to repeat is pretty simple. For starters, he'll be operating for the third straight season in a Lincoln Riley offense. Riley has produced three Heisman Trophy winning QB's in the past six years. None of his winners captured the award more than once, but he did produce back-to-back winners in 2017 and 2018 (Baker Mayfield…

Paisley Park is absolutely flying at the moment and he was brilliant in his win at Kempton, where I thought he might struggle. The Stayers' looks wide-open, and he's an interesting player at a double-figure price, despite his advancing years. I think that the strength of the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown was questionable. Home By The Lee, of…

Wisconsin football is coming off their most turbulent season in decades, one that saw three head coaches and a head-spinning, complete rebuild of the staff.
