The touchdown market has become one of the most popular and potentially profitable props in the NFL betting world. Each week, we’re going to throw down three to four units as we try to uncover some of the best weekly NFL TD props and dig into the matchups that surround them.

With two weeks to go in the regular season, we’re looking to finish off strong. We’re jumping on the Buffalo passing game yet again, taking a hometown boy in Kansas City, fading the Ravens and taking the smart play in Dallas.

Without further ado:

Who knew that when you trade massive draft capital and give $140 million to one offensive player, giving him as many touches per game as possible would be good for your team?

Certainly not Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels… until recently, when he started force-feeding the ball to megastar wide receiver Davante Adams — and the Raiders’ offense has picked up its play.

So for my TNF spotlight this week, I’m going to follow suit and force-feed you Davante Adams props.

Our Raiders vs. Rams betting preview is (rightfully) down on the Rams, whose current NFL odds see them getting nearly a touchdown at home, but my free NFL picks are taking a more positive perspective… and cashing in on LA’s misfortune.

Week 16 odds have arrived, which means only three weeks remaining of a full slate of NFL odds to dig into.

This is a big Christmas weekend with a slew of games on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I’m focusing on the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day contests as I analyze the defensive player props.

Let’s just say that Santa won’t be the only fat man bringing a sack this Christmas (please don’t tell Fletcher Cox I called him fat), and Dre Greenlaw will also be ringing plenty of bells against the Ravens. Here are my best free sack and tackle NFL picks for Week 16.

Aaron Rodgers returns to the field on Monday night as the New York Jets head to Levi’s Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers. Early money has poured in on the visitors and the Under, but my early Jets vs. 49ers predictions are going against the line movement.

Here are my best free NFL picks for this Week 1 showdown.

Jets vs 49ers predictions

Early spread lean49ers -4.5 (-105 at FanDuel)

My analysisThis spread opened with the San Francisco 49ers installed as 6-point favorites and slimmed as low as -3.5 before ticking back up to -4.5.

Super Bowl runners-up have gone 4-19 ATS in their following Week 1 openers since 2000. That said, most Super Bowl losers have plenty of roster turnover and tend to be due for regression aft…

Fulham were unable to find a breakthrough in the absence of the Championship’s leading goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic as they were held to a 0-0 draw by bottom club Derby at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva’s team were seeking an eighth successive win but they were denied by Wayne Rooney’s determined side. Fulham were left frustrated after being unable to capitalise on a succession of good chances, with Silva revealing afterwards that “six or seven players” including Mitrovic were affected by illness.

“It is a good point, a very difficult game against one of the best teams in the division,” Rooney said afterwards. “After the last week, to get four points against Bournemouth and Fulham, they deserve credit…

Undefeated South Carolina remained the unanimous No. 1 while Washington — also undefeated — entered the Associated Press Top 25 women's college basketball poll for the first time since 2017. The Gamecocks improved to 10-0 with a 99-29 demolition of Presbyterian on Saturday. The entire top 10 remains unchanged from the previous week — UCLA (9-0), North Carolina State (11-0), Iowa (11-1) and Texas (11-0) round out the top five, followed by Southern California (8-0), LSU (11-1), Colorado (9-1), Stanford (9-1) and Baylor (9-0). Washington (11-0) debuts at No. 23 after a 64-32 win over Saint Mary's, its first appearance in the Top 25 since the final poll in the 2016-17 season. TCU (11-0) also made its 2023-24 debut at No. 25. Miami and UNLV dropped out of the poll. The res…

The NHL general managers are having their annual meetings this week and for the second year in a row they are discussing rule changes to decrease the number of games that are resolved by a shootout. The particular ideas they're tossing around—centered around adopting a 3-on-3 overtime—stand a very good chance of working. Since the 2005-2006 season when the NHL got rid of regular season ties by adding the shootout, roughly 2 out of every 5 overtime games ended with a sudden-death goal in overtime. The winners of the remaining 60 percent of games were decided by the shootout, which is a huge amount of games to end in such an unsatisfying fashion. A couple seasons ago, the NHL decreased the value of shootout wins by decreasing their impact as a tiebreaker in the standings. Prio…
