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.

Napoli moved top of Serie A following a routine 2-0 win over Monza at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
First-half goals from Matteo Politano and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia did the trick for Antonio Conte s side, who leapfrogged Juventus to the summit of the table.
The hosts broke through in the 22nd minute as Politano rounded off a strong run by drilling a low shot beyond Stefano Turati in the Monza goal.
The visitors were then victims of their own downfall as Napoli doubled their lead 11 minutes later.
Turati pass out from the back went straight to Frank Anguissa, who then combined with Scott McTominay to set up Kvaratskhelia to volley home.
Though Monza improved in the second half, they were unable to truly trouble Napoli, who held out for the three po…
Ralf Rangnick expressed frustration at aspects of Austria s defensive showing but lauded their entertainment factor after the exit at Euro 2024, where other games have been difficult to stay awake for .
Austria topped Group D ahead of France and the Netherlands but were exposed from two corners in their last-16 defeat against Turkiye, who triumphed 2-1 in Leipzig on Tuesday.
Merih Demiral capitalised just 57 seconds into the encounter after Arda Guler s set-piece caused carnage, before the same combination provided another telling blow in the second half.
Austria have now fallen at the first knockout stage in back-to-back editions of the Euros, though Rangnick was far from displeased with his battling side.
We didn t have the necessary luck, the Austria …
It is safe to say Real Madrid did not miss Cristiano Ronaldo in the first game of a five-match ban.
Los Merengues cruised their way in the 2017 Spanish Super Cup second leg against FC Barcelona. Led by an inspiring performance from Marco Asensio and a solid dominant effort that annulled Lionel Messi, Real Madrid did not have problems to win their second title of the season. Real won 2-0 at Santiago Bernabeu and 5-1 on the aggregate score. And honestly, the final outcome in this second leg should have been bigger.
Dominant First Half For Madrid Thanks To Asensio s Early Blast

No banned substances were detected among the 300 doping controls carried out during Euro 2008, the director of the Vienna/Seibersdorf laboratory Gunter Gmeiner confirmed on Tuesday.
What was special about this Euro was the high level of controls carried out, Gmeiner told a press conference here.
Tests were carried out by both the Vienna/Seibersdorf laboratory and a laboratory in Lausanne, which was also accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Ten players from each of the 16 teams were controlled during the early rounds and then two per team for the final phase of competition from June 7-29.
And for the first time samples of both blood and urine were taken and controls included an automatic test for the blood booster erythropoietin (EPO).
Bukayo Saka rejected comparisons between his form at the 2022 World Cup and Kylian Mbappe s breakout campaign four years ago ahead of England s meeting with France.
Saka scored his third World Cup goal as England overcame a nervous start to beat Senegal 3-0 in Sunday s last-16 tie, setting up a heavyweight quarter-final clash with Les Bleus.
Having started three of England s four games in Qatar from the right, Saka may be expected to help contain Mbappe next time out, which promises to be a difficult task after the Paris Saint-Germain star moved onto five goals for the tournament in his side s 3-1 win over Poland.
Mbappe joined Pele as just the second teenager to score in a World Cup final in 2018, and Saka does not wish to compare his own debut campaign with tha…
