Back from a whirlwind trip to London, the Buffalo Bills take on their former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and his New York Giants in the latest SNF odds.
The Bills may be short on preparation, but this matchup is a gift from the schedule-makers, as the latest NFL odds point to one-way traffic in this Week 6 matchup.
With a shaky offensive line, no Daniel Jones, and a questionable Saquon Barkley, the Giants have a mountain to climb against their New York neighbors — and Buffalo is set up as one of the popular NFL picks this weekend.
I’m looking closer at the props market for this Week 6 odds battle, and make sure to also check out our Giants vs. Bills betting preview and our Josh Allen spotlight picks!

It’s always tough to handicap a game where you don’t know who will start at quarterback, and as of Friday, that’s still a question mark for both teams.
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson told reporters that franchise QB Trevor Lawrence could be a game-time decision, which would give C.J. Bea…
We get our second Sunday of the season. The NFL Week 2 odds are humming with action before kickoff, with some major moves to spreads and totals.
This is one of the trickier weeks of wagering, as bettors have to be careful not to overreact to Week 1 results and read into those outcomes a little deeper. Are teams really as good or as bad as they looked?

Patson Daka has just spent half an hour recounting the journey that led from school playing fields in Zambia to the spearhead of Red Bull Salzburg’s attack, so it seems cheap to follow up with the kind of question that speaks of football’s maddening impatience levels. But he is about to resume a season whose success can be measured by a strike rate of a goal every 74 minutes in Austria’s Bundesliga, so here goes: would it be fair to say he is the next Erling Braut Haaland?
There is laughter at one end of the line and some relief at the other. “I’m not the next anything,” Daka says. “There’ll only be one Haaland and there’ll only be one Patson. I just want to become the best vision of myself.”
Salzburg arrive at Anfield…

When Russia played Saudi Arabia in the opening match of the last World Cup, Gianni Infantino wasn’t the only dignitary in the crowd. As Russia opened the scoring, the cameras cut to the corporate seats, where the Fifa president could be seen sharing a funny joke with the matchday buddies sitting either side of him, Vladimir Putin and Sheikh Mohammed bin Salman. Of course, this was back in the days before the Saudi crown prince was discovered to have ordered his hit squad to play fast and loose with a bonesaw, or the Russian president had declared outright war on Ukraine. On that particular summer’s evening in Moscow, they were just a pair of common-or-garden tyrants kicking back and enjoying the craic, brought toge…
When Pakistan face Cambodia in the second leg of their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday in Islamabad, the memories will come flooding back for Adnan Ahmed. It is almost 16 years since the Burnley-born former Huddersfield and Tranmere winger, who came through Manchester United’s academy, made his international debut in a 7-0 defeat by Iraq in Lahore.
“I had mixed emotions because it was my first game for Pakistan,” Ahmed says. “It was a bittersweet experience to finally represent the country but the result obviously wasn’t what we wanted. There were quite a few of us who had never played [together] before so we were still getting used to each other and it was a bit of a nightmare really.
“By the second leg …
NBA free agency is not limited to players.What about coaches? Who are the top free agents when it comes to coaching jobs?The Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers are the two teams still looking for a new head coach. Here are 10 of the top coaching free agents they could consider:1. Kenny AtkinsonOn paper, Atkinson’s coaching record does not look very impressive. He went 118-190 with the Brooklyn Nets from 2016-2020, and he went 1-4 in his only postseason appearance. But those numbers don’t describe the hot garbage that Atkinson inherited in Brooklyn and the respect that he commands across the NBA. He has spent the last three years as Steve Kerr’s assistant in Golden State, and he has the experience and personality to help steady a team in need of a new leader.2. Jame…
Oh we got narratives! New ones! Old ones! Tired ones! Exciting ones! If you can find better narratives than here…fuck it! Game of the day: Spain 0 – 0 Morocco (Morocco wins 3-0 on penalties) Not for the actual game, because it was pretty turgid for most of it, but for the story. Morocco gets to the quarterfinals for the first time, only the fourth nation from Africa to get to this stage. It’s the same story that it was for Spain as four years ago, when they spit it at this exact stage in Russia against Russia, and also on penalties after being unable to break down a parked-the-bus-and-plane side. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. It’s this story: We’ve seen all this before. Spain have gone without a striker so long that it’s become a running joke, and also colored how p…
The international break comes at a great time for Manchester City. They’re now coming off two consecutive Premier League matches in which they haven’t quite been able to maintain the peak altitudes they’ve hit at times during this soaring season of theirs—a relative slippage they most likely chalk up to fatigue. As long as City’s stars return to work in a couple weeks’ time uninjured and rejuvenated, they should be able to rebound from mere comprehensive beatdowns, and return to absolutely bulldozing whoever stands before them on their seemingly inexorable march to domination. A week ago it was West Brom’s turn to get eaten up in the dulled but still whirring blades of City’s combine harvester. The final score was 3-2 in Man City’s favor, but that didn’t really tell t…
Some people are fans of the Chicago Bears. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Chicago Bears. This 2016 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. And buy Drew’s new book here. Your team: Chicago Bears. Your 2015 record: 6-10. But for one day… one GLORIOUS day… this team was perfect, my friends. See for yourself: And that wasn’t even the game they lost to Blaine Gabbert. I feel like the above graphic got lost in the shuffle last season because of the Jim Tomsula Job List graphic. But it shouldn’t have. Someone should etch this drive chart in pewter, bolt it to the shitter door in Canton, and then install Jimmy Clausen’s face as the toilet. No team in the past 35 years—not even the Browns—has had to punt …
