The Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Atlanta Falcons in a divisional battle on Sunday afternoon at Raymond James Stadium. It’s only Week 7 of the NFL season but the NFC South looks like it will be a dogfight between the Falcons, Saints, and Bucs, all of whom have three wins. These teams have all had a tough time scoring points but have been stingy on defense.

That’s reflected in the NFL odds for this clash, with the Over/Under at just 37.5 while the Bucs are installed as slim 2.5-point home favorites. Here are my best free Falcons vs. Buccaneers NFL picks for Sunday, October 21.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s teaser time!

Just because the regular season has come to an end doesn’t mean our teaser bets have to. We finished the regular season on a strong note, picking up a teaser win last week and it was a sweaty one, so a shout-out goes to Tyler Huntley for driving the Ravens down the field and to Justin Tucker for kicking a 36-yarder with 16 seconds remaining to clinch one of our Week 18 legs.

The 2024 edition of Super Wild Card weekend is setting up to be especially wild with some extreme weather that’s likely to wreak havoc in both Buffalo and Kansas City, while interesting storylines will set the stage for the other games as teams look to solidify their Super Bowl odds.

We obviously have fewer NFL odds for teaser legs this w…

The Detroit Lions offense has surprisingly looked a bit shaky to start the season but they have an ideal get-right spot on Sunday against an Arizona Cardinals squad that will be in plenty of shootouts this year.

I’m taking the Over in that showdown while betting the Under in two other games with my NFL picks for this week. Here are my favorite NFL total bets for Week 3.

Keith Gillespie has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson secured him a five-fold pay-rise when the Scot acted as his ad-hoc agent in the £7m deal that took the Northern Irishman from Manchester United to Newcastle United and Andy Cole the other way.

Gillespie made his United debut under Ferguson in 1993. Yet when Ferguson moved to sign Cole two years later from Newcastle, Gillespie was the makeweight in the transfer, being valued at £1m. Gillespie was 19 and earning £230 a week and when it came to finalising his personal terms at Newcastle Ferguson became a temporary representative.

Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest both recorded resounding victories to tee up their second versus third meeting at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday, as the race for automatic promotion and play-off places goes the distance.

Dominic Solanke’s 30th goal of the season and two emphatic finishes from Philip Billing gave Bournemouth a dominant 3-0 win at Blackburn to keep them in the driving seat for second place. The result extinguished Blackburn’s faint play-off hopes, with the damage done in a run of 16 games that yielded 13 points, taking them from second to ninth.

“It was definitely a high-pressure game,” said the Bournemouth manag…

The mainstream sports schedule is lighter with the NBA Finals wrapped and the suddenly dramatic Stanley Cup Final nearing conclusion, but there’s plenty of the buffet of bets to consume with college and MLB daytime baseball and the WNBA still cruising along. Here’s a look at a few options we like on today’s spread, with a three-pack of two-bet SGPs:New York Mets at Texas RangersDon’t look now, but the Mets are steamrolling to the end of June with a chance to stretch their winning streak to eight. The down-on-luck Rangers blew a four-run lead and have lost five in a row thanks in large part to an offense approaching the Mendoza Line in team batting average this month and a bullpen with an ERA trending toward 5.00. New York is hammering the ball since adding J.D. Martinez to the …

“Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón” – “Spanish Bombs”, The Clash So … the first time Spain played Russia at Euro 2008, I used a line from “My Fair Lady” — a movie I’ve never seen, mind you — to emphasize the rain at the game falling gently on the plain. Looking back, it wasn’t the wisest choice considering the mindset of the Deadspin commenting community. Raw steak filets have fared better against zoo carnivores. Lo and behold, it’s two weeks later, and again Spain laid the smackdown against the Ruskies, winning again by three goals, this time in a thorough, soup-to-nuts 3-0 victory in Vienna. Hopefully citing a bulletproof band like The Clash gains me a little rede…

Some people are fans of the San Francisco 49ers. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the San Francisco 49ers. This 2019 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: San Francisco 49ers. Your 2018 record: 4-12. They gave Jimmy Garoppolo a huge contract based off a handful of games and then his leg fell off. Same with Jerick McKinnon. Even Matt Breida couldn’t stay healthy. It’s like this team is run by Elizabeth Holmes, AND MAYBE IT IS. Last season’s lone highlight for this team was Nick Mullens destroying the Raiders on a Thursday night. Everything else was a writeoff. They did nearly beat the Packers at Lambeau. Until, that is, Aaron Rodgers went into God mode to tie the game with under two minutes remainin…

After 317 primary debates, far too many GOP candidates, countless repetitions of the word “email,” and one Billy Bush downfall, we have finally made it. My friends, in just a few hours, this godforsaken presidential election will be over. Which isn’t to say we haven’t had fun— because we have. It’s just that, if this election season were to go on for even a day longer, that beautiful light inside of us would certainly die forever. But we’ve still got a few hours left and a brand new president to coronate. If it’s Hillary Clinton: Thank god. And if it’s Donald Trump: Please send us commissary money for media prison. Either way, we’ll be blogging all night long, so keep checking back for our running list of election-related posts below. And don’t forget to vote tw…
