The Cleveland Browns will try to ride the momentum from their Hall of Fame Game win over the New York Jets when they host the Washington Commanders for a preseason clash tonight.
Washington is coming off of a middling 8-8-1 season, but is heading into a new era under owner Josh Harris, who bought the team from Daniel Snyder during the offseason. The Browns finished 7-10 last season, and beat the Jets 21-16 last week in Canton.
DeShaun Watson should get his first looks for Cleveland this season, while Sam Howell will get the start for Washington as he angles for the same role heading into the regular season. We’ll take a closer look at how these quarterback situations could impact Friday’s game in our free NFL picks and predictions for Commanders vs…

If you like betting on the first touchdown, betting on the result of the first drive pre-game might be another market that interests you. It’s a four-way market with a punt, field goal attempt, touchdown, and turnover, and everything is usually even money or better. I also believe it to be more predictive and a market that has some flaws in the pricing, as well.
For the AFC Championship game, I’m going to go through my process and lay out the best cases for each offense’s first-drive result using the NFL odds from DraftKings and this year’s first-drive stats to reach a best bet. It’s not a massive sample size, but I feel the pricing is nearly all based on the offensive results, leaving some angles that aren’t priced in. …
Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions bounced back last week with a win, improving to 2-1 in the process. This week, they’ll host the Seattle Seahawks, who have quietly been one of the league’s best defenses.
We break down how that defense will impact the Jared Goff odds in our NFL picks and Seahawks vs. Lions predictions below.

“I have had so many operations on the left side that my body now tilts, and some days I could barely pass the ball,” the former Manchester United midfielder James Weir says. The 28-year-old is explaining why he has announced his retirement after a career plagued by injuries.
Weir made his Premier League debut as a last-minute substitute under Louis van Gaal on the same day as Marcus Rashford. The England striker scored a double against Arsenal that afternoon in February 2016 and his story needs no more telling, whereas Weir spent the following years on a somewhat nomadic journey, culminating in a sixth-month spell at Zlate Moravce, who sit bottom of the Slovakian top flight with five points from 24 games. Last month he called it a day.…
The FIFA medical team said on Saturday that it was satisfied with arrangements put in place by South Africa ahead of the Confederations Cup in June and the World Cup next year.
My impression is positive. I am confident with what I have seen and heard, the head of the FIFA medical committee, Jiri Dvorak, told journalists at the end of a meeting with the South African FIFA local organising team.
I am personally confident that we can hold the World Cup from the medical side that the teams, the FIFA family, the FIFA delegation and also the spectators will be well taken care of, he stated.
He said that the meeting discussed strategies to combat doping during the competitions.
These will include the education of players and collaboration with local officials…
Today’s summer transfer window for Premier League shuts in just a matter of hours. Here are some of the more interesting deals in the pipeline and already completed:
Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United to Inter, £73million)
The Belgian striker is in Italy having a medical ahead of completing a £73million move to the Nerazzurri. The 26-year-old struggled to hit top form last season and his future in Manchester has been in doubt all summer.
Inter boss head coach Antonio Conte is a big fan of the big striker, who scored just 12 Premier League goals last season.
David Luiz (Chelsea to Arsenal, £8million)
This move was a rather surprising one, with the first time the deal mention coming on Wednesday. However, the Brazilian international is close to completing an …
Best Odds: 7/10
Bookmaker:
Turning their attention back to Premier League duties on Saturday afternoon, Manchester City will welcome Fulham to the Etihad.
Manchester City
Starting with the hosts, while Manchester City might have still not suffered a single defeat across any competition so far this season, it does feel that Pep Guardiola’s squad are seeking a recent domestic boost. Left frustrated last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Newcastle, the former Barcelona boss has seen his superstar squad drop back-to-back points. Nevertheless, putting in a rampant Champions League performance earlier in the week as they stormed their way to a 4-0 romp away at Slovan Bratislava, the Sky Blues are looking to smash more domestic rec…
