The Buffalo Bills’ up-and-down season continued last week, as they fell to the Cincinnati Bengals on the road. Now, Buffalo finds itself as a heavy favorite in the MNF odds against a Denver Broncos team that suddenly finds itself on a two-game winning streak.

The Bills are a touchdown favorite according to the Week 10 odds, with Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense – which has received some criticism as of late – being the major reason why. Allen and his teammates are still among the most productive units in the NFL, while the Broncos may own the league’s worst defense.

We’ll take a deeper look at the Josh Allen odds as we give our best NFL picks for Broncos vs. Bills on November 13.

A pair of struggling AFC East teams will go toe-to-toe when the Miami Dolphins visit the New England Patriots on Sunday.

While New England was expected to be bad, Miami has playoff aspirations, and my Dolphins vs. Patriots predictions and NFL picks are expecting the Fins to put another tick in the wins column on October 6.

My analysis

Although it’s been an ugly start to the season for the Miami Dolphins, I’m still confident head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tyler Huntley will have the offense in better shape Sunday following a full week of practice.

After all, it’s not as if the New England Patriots have been sharp on de…

The San Jose Sharks signed 2023 first-round pick Will Smith to an entry-level contract on Tuesday. The 19-year-old center from Lexington, Mass., was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. As a freshman at Boston College in 2023-24, Smith led the nation with 71 points (25 goals, 46 assists) in 41 games. "Will is a dynamic and exciting young center and we are thrilled to have him join the organization after an impressive season with Boston College," Sharks general manager Mike Grier said in a release. "We felt that this is the next best step for his development to becoming a full-time NHL player, and we are looking forward to seeing him compete at the highest level of hockey." Smith earned AHCA East First Team All-America, NCAA Frozen Four All-Tournament Team…

Sam Allardyce has claimed the Premier League is “trying to get us relegated” after his West Brom side were told to play Newcastle at the Hawthorns on Sunday at 12pm.

Allardyce feels kick-off against Steve Bruce’s struggling side comes too soon after Thursday night’s home defeat against Everton, particularly as Newcastle have had a free week.

“We asked if we could play it next Monday and they [the Premier League] said no,” Allardyce said. “And then what do we have to do? Play at 12 on Sunday. Thank you very much, that’s really nice of you at the Premier League, helping us to get relegated, or trying to get us relegated. That’s how it is. You can ask for different dates or times but any one we asked …

In 2017 the Football Association launched its Gameplan for Growth for the women’s game. It was a strategy which set forth plans and targets for the development of women’s football from top to bottom. Three years on the FA had hit every target: doubling participation, doubling the fanbase, reaching the top three in the world in all England age groups and putting the senior England women’s team in good stead for the 2023 World Cup.

Now, we are two years into the new strategy, titled Positive Change. Already targets are being met, with England’s Euros success ticking off the ambition to win a major tournament. The momentum from that is still flowing and the World Cup, which will lift interest further, is only 10 months away. There is no…

DECADES AND DECADES

Ten years is a long time in football. At Southampton in 2014, Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez, Gastón Ramírez and Adam Lallana formed possibly the most Streets Won’t Forget forward line since Sam Allardyce’s Bolton side. Victor Anichebe’s infamous “can you tweet something like” tweet didn’t even exist yet. Steven Gerrard had just slipped. Heady days.

If your interests extend beyond Social Media Disgrace retro b@nter accounts – and Football Daily refuses to confirm or deny if this is the case – then there was also some football going on. Real Madrid, the so-called Kings of Europe, hadn’t reached a Big Cup final since 2002, and 10 years ago this week, fac…

AFC South division preview 2024 predicted order of finish, record Houston Texans (11-6) Get the right coach-QB combo and you'll go places. Houston did that last year with DeMeco Ryans and C.J. Stroud and are in prime position to make it 2-for-2 this season. Jacksonville Jaguars (10-7) Jacksonville wasted a season with a December/January collapse. It has to rebound this year or questions abound if newly re-signed Trevor Lawrence is really the QB to take them places. Indianapolis Colts (9-8) Indy came very close to earning a playoff spot against steep odds last year. Can its franchise QB, Anthony Richardson, last more than four games this year? Tennessee Titans (7-10) A new coach (Brian Callahan) and second-year QB (Will Levis) give this team a hall pass for now while the l…
