There were countless memorable sporting moments in 2017, from Roger Federer s stunning Australian Open triumph to Manchester City s dominance of the Premier League.
Omnisport s writers reflect on the drama they witnessed at the year s biggest events.
Dejan Kalinic on the Australian Open and a magical men s singles final
A first Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal grand slam final since 2011 made the men s Australian Open decider special enough, but two of the greatest players of all-time served up a classic in their unexpected showdown on Rod Laver Arena.
Federer was playing in his first tournament since Wimbledon the year prior and questions remained over how he would return from knee surgery.
Nadal was on the comeback trail after a wrist in…
Jose Mourinho on Saturday rated 2010 as the best year of my career after guiding his former club Inter Milan to the Italian league, Cup and Champions League titles.
If I had to give 2010 a mark from 1 to 10 it would be an 11, the ever modest Portuguese coach told a press conference here.
I won everything with Inter. And then with Real Madrid every possibility is still available. The championship is open, we are still in the (Spanish) Cup, and the Champions League.
Mourinho was speaking ahead of Real Madrid s league date with Sevilla on Sunday. Real are in second, two points behind Barcelona who slaughtered Mourinho s men 5-0 at the Nou Camp last month the only blot on Mourinho s landscape.

Conference Championship weekend is upon us in the NFL, as we are fresh off one of the best weekends of football ever with three walk-off field goals and an overtime touchdown to secure our final four teams. Although I doubt anything can top last weekend’s games, I am still looking forward to the encore.
Here’s a closer look at my two favorite NFL parlay picks for Conference Championship weekend, all of which center around player props.

The New York Giants will look for a second straight playoff upset when they visit the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC Divisional Playoff matchup on Saturday.
The Eagles (14-3) beat the Giants (10-7-1) in both of their regular season matchups, and also have a healthy Jalen Hurts at quarterback as they try to advance to the NFC Championship.
Hurts should be able to find opportunities on the ground and in the air against New York, so we’ll be targeting him among our player props this Divisional Playoff weekend in my free NFL picks for Giants vs. Eagles below.

Perhaps I’ve been in denial for most of the season, but I think it’s finally time to take the 5-1 Detroit Lions seriously as a Super Bowl odds contender. The NFL odds don’t seem to agree, as the Lions are underdogs in Baltimore as they battle the Ravens in Week 7.
I’ll take the points with Detroit and group it with a pair of strong moneyline plays. I’ll also fill out a three-leg same-game parlay for Packers vs. Broncos, highlighting my three favorite NFL player props in that contest.
Without further ado, here are my best free NFL parlay picks and predictions for Week 7.

There’s a lot on the line in the NFL regular-season finale between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in the Sunday Night Football odds. Whoever wins this game will lock up the AFC East title. A loss drops the Dolphins to the sixth seed while the Bills can breathe a little easier now that they’ve secured a postseason berth after Sunday’s early action.
While Buffalo is riding high into Week 18 with four straight victories, the Dolphins are licking their wounds after getting obliterated in Baltimore and losing linebacker Bradley Chubb to a torn ACL, adding to a long list of injury concerns for the Dolphins. With momentum on the side of the Bills, NFL odds have them tabbed as a three-point favorite with the game having a total of 49.5.
Let’s get int…
The New York Jets host the New England Patriots in Thursday Night Football action this week. The Pats were supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league but they’ve exceeded expectations so far thanks to a solid defense and Rhamondre Stevenson.
I’m betting on those things to continue with my favorite NFL picks and player props for the Patriots vs. Jets on Thursday, September 19.
