We’ve got our first Sunday of the 2023 NFL season coming up. While quarterback remains the most important position in the game, the guys who get after the passers remain highly coveted as well.

The 49ers giving Nick Bosa $170 million and the Chiefs line struggling without Chris Jones on Thursday is yet more evidence of the value of an elite pass rusher, and they are judged primarily on a single statistic: sacks.

I’ll be bringing you my best sack prop picks and predictions every week and in the Week 1 odds, I’m backing a pair of former Defensive Player of Year winners in Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald.

Milestone and Alt Overs are a great way to find big plus-money plays. With all the NFL odds available at bet365, there are a ton of spots to find the perfect matchups to cash these lucrative and profitable Overs. 

In Week 11 odds, I’m supporting a conservative 25-yard total for favorable odds, banking on a rookie running back to maintain his impressive performance, and making my way to Houston to target a young wideout’s milestone.

Let’s get after it in my latest NFL picks.

Out of all the Super Bowl predictions we make here on Covers, this might be my favorite one. 

I mean, where else are you going to find someone willingly ready to break down Taylor Swift odds with such tremendous passion? I mean, did you see her new album cover? Like, she can do no wrong.

Ok, now that this Tortured Poet has wrangled back the keyboard from the palms of the “World’s No. 1 Swiftie” (my wife), let’s get serious. 

Taylor Swift has been a money-making machine for the NFL. She’s generated $331.1 million in brand value and she’s all anyone wants to talk about despite the Super Bowl odds suggesting this game could be one for the ages.

Join me as I forgo the standard NFL picks and Chiefs vs 49ers predictions and break down the Tay…

Week 4 saw another positive outcome, and while it wasn’t exactly a flashy home run of a week, we’re still moving the chains.

As long as there’s forward progress, no matter how incremental, I won’t complain — and I’m adopting that strategy to kick off my best Week 5 player props.

My TNF prop has us hitting the weekend running, and the rest of my best NFL picks are backing a veteran RB to continue his rebound from an ugly start to the season, along with an upstart QB shredding a bad pass defense, a “King” to continue his reign of dominance, and a prop pick for Monday Night Football.

We're not really sure why we're supposed to care about the Ryder Cup. First off, it's golf: It's the furthest thing from a team sport, and no matter how hard they try to convince us that we're rooting for "America," it's hard to inspire enthusiasm to root for the home country to avoid the bunkers while wearing knickers. It's not like most people consider golfers to be just like them anyway; is there really that much difference between a rich American golfer and a rich British one? (Other than the teeth.) Which is another problem too: It's the United States vs. Europe. That's hardly an opponent that inspires much vitriol. If they really want the silly trophy that badly, they can have it. That said, the Ryder Cup does start tomorrow…

The Morecambe midfielder Yann Songo’o has been suspended for six matches after using a homophobic slur in a match and apologised for his actions, asking for forgiveness.

Songo’o was sent off during Morecambe’s League Two fixture against Tranmere in January for using foul and abusive language, apparently directed at one of Tranmere’s players. He was charged with improper conduct by the FA with a further aggravated breach of the rules because the language included “a reference to sexual orientation”.

Songo’o admitted the charge and after a hearing by an independent regulatory commission he was given the minimum suspension of six matches. Songo’o must also undergo face-to-face anti-discrimination educat…

Manchester City pushed hard to sign Harry Kane last year. Following the departure of Sergio Agüero to Barcelona, City wanted a new striker to fill the void in their frontline. Tottenham, though, did not budge in their demand that City pay £150m for the England captain. Kane wanted to go, but City did not up their offer and he remained at Spurs. The lack of a natural striker did not hold back City, who retained their Premier League title last season while scoring more goals (99) than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues.

So, of course City went out and signed goal machine Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer. The Norwegian has wasted no time in acclimatising to the demands of Premier League football. In nine appearance…

New York City FC manager Nick Cushing has denied the allegation that he punched a Toronto FC player in March.

The allegation was made public over the weekend by Toronto manager John Herdman, who accused Cushing of punching an unnamed 19-year-old player at half-time of a game between the two teams earlier this season.

“I categorically deny any involvement or any incident where I have punched or assaulted any Toronto FC player or staff member,” Cushing said at a press conference on Monday. “I am shocked, personally. I’m upset by the allegation.”

Cushing said he has not been contacted by MLS and was not…
