Chiefs vs Jets prop betting picks: 2 best bets for SNF

If you looked at this matchup in August, you would have it circled on your calendar as a potential AFC Championship Game scenario. Now that Aaron Rodgers is gone for the season, this Game is popular for other reasons totally unrelated to Football . Nonetheless, it is a primetime Game between a top-tier offense and a top-tier defense. The Chiefs currently sit as a 9-point favorite over the New York Jets in Metlife Stadium. Check out our Kansas City Chiefs vs New York Jets predictions Isiah Pacheco (KC) over 52.5 rushing yards (-114) Line available on FanDuel at the time of publishing  Pacheco is in for a bit of a homecoming as the former Rutgers star returns to New Jersey on Sunday. He’s cleared this line in two straight Game s, missing only the season opener in which Travis Kelce was out and the Chiefs, for once, looked less dynamic. His career 4.4 ypc put this in play with just 12 carries, a number he’s reached in two straight. The potential for a negative Game script is high

Arsenal fixtures: Next six games after Bournemouth win

Image
Arsenal extended their unbeaten start to the season with a convincing 4-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday. Mikel Arteta had urged his side to "win in any context" pre-game but Bournemouth were generous hosts, giving Arsenal not one but two penalties at the Vitality Stadium. The Gunners closed the gap up to Manchester City to just one point but face an ominous slate of fixtures in October. With the Champions League and Carabao Cup both underway, Arsenal are scheduled to come up against local rivals and the reigning Premier League champions in the coming weeks. Here's what lies ahead for Arteta's winning side.

Chelsea have finally unveiled Infinite Athlete as their new shirt sponsor for the 2023/24 season. After ending an agreement with Three, Chelsea spent months searching for a new sponsor and were forced to release their new kits without any branding after failing to get an agreement over the line in time. Ahead of their seventh Premier League game of the season, Chelsea have now finally confirmed they have secured a new sponsor. The Infinite Athlete logo will appear on the front of the men's and women's team and will make its debut in Sunday's Women's Super League opener against Tottenham Hotspur. Mauricio Pochettino's side will then sport the logo when they face Fulham in the Premier League on Monday.

MotoGP Japanese GP: Martin smashes lap record for pole

Martin posted a 1m43.198s on his first run in Q2 on Saturday morning to beat Brad Binder's Friday benchmark, which in turn surpassed Jorge Lorenzo's 2015 record , by almost three tenths of a second. It gives Martin a second pole in the last three races, as well as a 10th in a row for Ducati. Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia emerged as Martin's closest challenger, improving on his final run to record a 1m43.369s, falling 0.171s short of his main title rival. KTM rider Jack Miller ensured no lockout of the front row by going third-quickest, 0.353s off the pace, having lagged behind team-mate Binder on Friday. Binder himself qualified fifth, just over half a second off the pace, with the two KTMs being split by the VR46 Ducati of Marco Bezzecchi. Bezzecchi suffered a spectacular off at the Turn 12 left-hander in the early stages of Q2, but was able to get back to the pits and mount his number two bike to back himself a spot on the second

Ange Postecoglou comes up with hilarious analogy to explain Liverpool fandom

Image
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has claimed that his days of supporting Liverpool are the thing of the past and are equatable with his former love of the hit TV show Happy Days. Postecoglou was born in Greece but he and his family emigrated to Australia when he was five years old. Football was hardly the most mainstream sport in Australia during Postecoglou's youth, and he admitted in an interview with Football Focus last week how hard it was to keep track of the beautiful Game . Discussing his relationship with his father, Postecoglou said: "We'd stay up late at night and watch games, most of which were from England. It's the only football we'd get. Jimmy Hill with Match Of The Day. It was a week-old footage but we craved it. That's where it [a love of football] started. "I was a massive Liverpool fan. I loved Bill Shankly, I loved 'The Boot Room'." When asked if he was still a Liverpool fan, he replied: "Well, I've

Mikel Arteta provides worrying Declan Rice & Bukayo Saka injury updates

Image
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed midfielder Declan Rice and forward Bukayo Saka have not yet returned to training after picking up injuries. Summer signing Rice was replaced midway through last weekend's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur after complaining of discomfort in his back, and he has since spent the week on the sidelines alongside Saka, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli. "Declan hasn’t trained yet, we have a session in an hour, we’ll get more news about him," Arteta told his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Bournemouth. To add to Arsenal's concerns, Arteta confirmed that Saka, Trossard and Martinelli have all been absent this week as well. "Gabi hasn’t trained, Leo same situation, Saka, same," the Spaniard explained. "They are all in the same pool. Willy [William Saliba] had a knock, Fabio [Vieira] wasn’t involved. We have to assess them today." Saka is also out of action / Sebastian Frej/MB Media/Ge

Only a few games separates these teams, which makes Wednesday’s matchup so critical, especially since Seattle ha

Benjamin Sesko reveals why it was better to join RB Leipzig over Man Utd

Image
Benjamin Sesko believes he made the right call to join RB Leipzig instead of Manchester United this summer. The 20-year-old agreed to join Leipzig ahead of the 2023/24 season from Red Bull Salzburg last summer for £20.8m, though some of Europe's biggest clubs were interested in buying him before he'd even touched down in Germany. 90min reported back in April that Man Utd and Newcastle both had Sesko on their respective striker shortlists ahead of the summer transfer window. The Red Devils ended up bringing in Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta for an initial £64m, while the Magpies ultimately decided against signing another number nine. Sesko is settling in well at Leipzig / ODD ANDERSEN/GettyImages LISTEN TO THE LATEST EPISODE OF 90MIN'S TALKING TRANSFERS PODCAST: IVAN TONEY, SON HEUNG-MIN, BRUNO GUIMARAES & MORE During an interview with Transfermarkt , Sesko was asked about this interest from United, and though he suggested he was left in the dark over whether an offer cam

Pep Lijnders urges Liverpool to 'cherish' Mohamed Salah

Image
Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders believes that Mohamed Salah should be ' cherish ed' for all that he brings to the team. The Egyptian has started the 2023/24 season in spectacular form, scoring four times and laying on four assists in seven matches and providing at least one goal contribution in every Game he's played. Salah could have left Liverpool over the summer though, with Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad showing a willingness to pay a world-record sum for the forward. However, the Reds stood firm and knocked back their advances. Ahead of Liverpool's clash with EFL Championship side Leicester City in round three of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, assistant boss Lijnders spoke glowingly of Salah. "He's breaking record after record. He's a mentor, a leader. I see him in the gym, I see him coming in early. I see a real professional and a man who can lead this team without being the captain. It's special that he's with us. We should ch

Image

The Japan international was one of four central midfielders the Reds signed during the summer transfer window in what was a complete overhaul of the club's midfield options. Endo signed from VfB Stuttgart for a fee in the region of £17.5m and has since made five appearances for Liverpool - two of which have been starts. Speaking about life at Liverpool with the club's official website , Endo was asked which of his new teammates has impressed him the most in his short stint at Anfield thus far, replying: "All the player s have very high skills here and among them I think the goalkeeper Alisson is great. "I have played with a lot of 'keepers but his ability to stop shots is excellent. Of course, the forward players have very high skills and the other players are very skilful as well, but Alisson's ability to stop shots is brilliant. "He saves the
