Saturday’s Week 15 action concludes with the New England Patriots visiting the Indianapolis Colts as 2.5-point road dogs. The Patriots have benefited from some scheduling favors as well as weather conditions of late and the Colts pose a real risk to the Patriots’ seven-game winning streak. 

Is New England’s stock at a season-high heading into Saturday’s game? Will we see both teams’ defense sell out to stop the run? Find out in our free props and predictions for Patriots vs. Colts.

I don’t know what makes me feel worse: the flu virus coursing through my veins or another losing week of NFL Underdog picks. Either way, it’s been a shit seven days.

My NFL picks and predictions have had a tough time through nine weeks of action, despite what’s been a profitable run for those teams getting the points. And while I feel like I’m missing out, I don’t feel like I’m missing by much. 

Getting over a slump is just like getting over an illness. There’s no one-dose magic elixir that’s going to make it right again. You know the steps you need to take to get well: avoid extra exertion, get some rest, have healthy habits, and take your medicine.

Milestone and Alt Overs are a great way to find big plus-money plays. bet365 has Milestone markets for basically every prop so bettors can look into different markets other than the standard yardage NFL player props. They also have markets for more players.

For the Week 15 odds slate, I’m picking on the Washington Commanders and their league-worst pass defense, looking for garbage-time passing from the Arizona Cardinals, and buying the dip on a running back who still dominates the carries in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ backfield.

With the real business of Week 1 football just over 20 days away, the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans continue their preparation with a showdown at Nissan Stadium on Saturday.

Both teams are 1-0 this preseason, as Seattle picked up a win over the Chargers last weekend and Tennessee held off the 49ers. My Seahawks vs. Titans predictions and NFL picks center around a top tip for this weekend’s game.

My analysisFrom all accounts, it’s going to be backups against backups in Nashville on Saturday night, with the starters seeing plenty of snaps during the teams’ joint practices this week. That mak…

Ellen White scored twice as England Women enjoyed a 10-0 World Cup qualifying win against Luxembourg, taking her international tally to 43, three goals short of Kelly Smith’s all‑time England goalscoring record.

White, who has now made 97 appearances for England, was joined on the scoresheet by her Manchester City teammate Alex Greenwood – making her 50th appearance for her country – and the centre-back Millie Bright who both scored two. The Arsenal forward Nikita Parris added another and Rachel Daly scored her first goal following the death of her father, while an own goal completed the rout.

Some people are fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. This 2017 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Kansas City Chiefs. Your 2016 record: 12-4. You’re not gonna believe this, but the Chiefs ended their season with a divisional round playoff loss at home! WHY I’M GOBSMACKED I AM. Every year, there’s a five-minute window where TV people are like, “You know, the Chiefs may very well be the best team in the AFC!” and then we all have good hearty laugh. I wanna take you back to that Steelers game for the moment, because it was the most Chiefs loss possible. Every time I think the Chiefs can’t lose in Chiefs-ier fashion, they outdo themselves. Remem…

Some people are fans of the New York Giants. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the New York Giants. This 2014 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group.
Your team: New York Giants. And I'm just gonna go ahead now and tell you that this preview will be extremely half-assed. I did the Skins and Pats on Tuesday, and I hate those two teams more than I hate anything. The Giants are the sad gray sherbet that follows that hate feast. They are the palate cleanser.
Your 2013 record: 7-9, featuring an 0-6 start. Their first win came against Josh Freeman, who played the entire game from a therapist's couch. Was Eli shut out twice last season? You know he was. According to Wikipedia, "The Giants became the first team in NFL history to have a fi…
