Luka Modric named UEFA Player of the Year for 2017-18

Luka Modric has been crowned UEFA Player of the Year for 2017-18 after playing a major role in Real Madrid s third successive Champions League success.

Modric featured 11 times as Madrid continued their dominance of the Champions League, scoring once and adding a single assist.

But it was his conviction in possession and ability to turn defence into attack with just one pass that made him so vital to Los Blancos success.

His former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo – who scored 15 goals in last season s competition – and Mohamed Salah of Liverpool were considered leading candidates due to their respective displays in attack.

But Modric, who also claimed the Golden Ball at the World Cup, won the most votes from coaches and journalists, beating Ronaldo and Sa…

Liverpool´s Henderson tops Premier League appearances for 2010s

Jordan Henderson clinched his status as the player with the most Premier League appearances in the 2010s when he lined up against Wolves on Sunday.

Liverpool s captain was selected in Jurgen Klopp s starting XI for the Anfield fixture, as the Reds looked to extend their lead at the top of the table.

It brought up a 308th appearance in the top flight since the start of 2010 for the 29-year-old, who made the move from Sunderland to Liverpool in 2011.

Team-mate James Milner, named as a substitute against Wolves, began the game with 306 Premier League appearances during this decade.

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster has also played 306 Premier League games since January 1, 2010.

308 Jordan Henderson is today making his 308th appearance since the start…

Cardinals vs Raiders Week 2 Picks and Predictions: Carr Carves Up Depleted Secondary

Two Week 1 losers will meet in the desert Sunday, September 18 as the Las Vegas Raiders host the Arizona Cardinals. With another extensive injury list for the Cardinals that includes three players in the secondary, Derek Carr will pad his Week 2 stats after he shook off the rust in the first half last week.  

Here are my free NFL betting picks and predictions for Cardinals vs. Raiders.

Best NFL Milestone Bets for Week 2: Shaheed Burns Panthers Secondary

Not every player can get well and beyond their Week 2 prop total, but for those who might be mispriced, have a better matchup than expected, or can just pile up stats in garbage time, betting milestones and alt-Overs can be profitable even with a low win percentage. Variance is our friend here.

I’ll be using bet365 for most NFL odds, as they have become the best book for offering alt-Overs, with milestone markets for seemingly every prop. They also give you the green checkmark as soon as the number is hit and bettors are able to cash out immediately (if that option is still available to you), which also helps.

This weekend, I’m targeting a receiver who led his team in snaps but was held catchless, hitting a century mark on the ground in Houston, an…

Steelers vs Bengals Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 12: Pittsburgh's Defense Suffocates Browning

Week 12 odds in the NFL feature an AFC North showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. This game could be a bit of a slog as NFL odds opened with an Over/Under of just 34.5 for this clash between these divisional rivals. 

The Steelers will try to ignite their ice-cold offense after firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, while the Bengals just lost superstar quarterback Joe Burrow to a season-ending injury. The spread has also flipped, with Cincinnati opening at -1 before shifting to favor Pittsburgh by a point.

Here are my best free NFL picks for Steelers vs Bengals on November 26.

NFL Best Bets and Player Props for Week 6: Bucky Irving Thrives as Feature Back for Tampa Bay

We’ve learned through the early part of the NFL season that passing seems to be a lot more difficult than it should be for a passing-first league.

Betting on passing-related NFL player props has been a bit of a crapshoot, so last week I kicked it old-school and relied on the ground game: Four of my five NFL picks were rushing props… and I went 4-1 (the loser being a passing prop).

So what are we doing this week? Sticking with the ground and pound baby!

I kicked things off with a winning rushing prop for TNF, and the rest of my prop picks are also run-heavy for the today.

Latest NFL prop picks

  • Irving o60.5 rush yards(-110 at bet365)
  • Allgeier o37.5 rush yards(-110 at bet365)
  • Gibbs o5…

Lewandowski backs Poland boycott of Qatar 2022 qualifier against Russia

Poland captain Robert Lewandowski has backed the decision of the Polish football association to refuse to play their Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier against Russia next month following developments in Ukraine.

Russia invaded Ukraine on Thursday, following weeks of rising political tensions in the region. The conflict escalated further on Friday, with the fighting reaching the capital city of Kyiv.

Russia had been set to host Poland in March, but on Friday, UEFA confirmed any international matches due to be held in Russia or Ukraine would have to be moved to a neutral venue, as well as confirming St Petersburg had been stripped of holding this season s Champions League final, which will now be played in Paris.

The winner of the tie between Poland and Russia woul…
