NFL Picks – Eagles Clash With Commanders

September 24, 2022 No Comments

NFL Predictions Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders Over/Under: 47.5 Odds: Eagles –6.5, Commanders +6.5 Time: 1:00 PM ET NFL Predictions We enter into Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season with the Philadelphia Eagles squaring off with the Washington Commanders. The Eagles just picked up a huge win over the Minnesota Vikings in dominating fashion in prime time. Meanwhile, the Commanders crumbled under the pressure to a Detroit Lions team that is catching everybody off guard. The Eagles are currently undefeated on the season with a 2-0 record to back it up. From what we’ve seen on the year, it’s been an excellent showing. Jalen Hurts is coming off of a game in which he threw for 333 yards, a touchdown and an interception while only missing on five passes. They pretty much got whatever they wanted against the Minnesota Vikings last week, beating them 24-7. Philadelphia has also averaged 470.5 yards per game and 31 points per game through the first two weeks of the 2022 regular season. Their defense didn’t look good in the season opener but Darius Slay just grabbed two interceptions while shadowing Justin Jefferson last week in a lockdown performance. As for the Commanders, they’ve been an interesting team to follow. Carson Wentz has shown flashes of potentially being a wonderful addition to this team, and then other times he looks like he just doesn’t belong. They were just stomped throughout the entire first half of their last game against the Detroit Lions, and their rally in the second half wasn’t enough. The problem that I keep seeing is the lack of a run game. For example, Antonio Gibson took 14 carries and mustered only 28 yards and a touchdown. You can’t expect to win games by ignoring the run game and leaving it all up for Carson Wentz to make something happen. NFL Picks Today Given how the first two games have gone for each of these teams so far in 2022, I believe this is going to be a higher scoring game. These are division rivals that are familiar with one another, and usually end up scoring a good chunk of points against one another every time they face off. With Hurts and the Eagles averaging over 30 points per game and the Commanders allowing roughly 30 points per game, points will be aplenty. When it comes down to selecting a winner for this matchup, I have to roll with Philadelphia for NFL Picks. I have the utmost confidence in this Eagles offense from what I’ve seen so far, and the Commanders are just far too inconsistent with Wentz to know what they are going to do week in and week out. The total for the contest is set at 47.5 at the moment. I have faith that this is going to be a game where each team gets onto the board early and often. However, division games are usually always difficult to predict every time they meet one another. In the end though, the over should be the one to cash out. Final Pick: Eagles –6.5 Over/Under Choice: Over 47.5 If you’re looking for more content, click here!

Aaron Judge Could Win The Triple Crown

September 23, 2022 No Comments

The Triple Crown is still currently in Aaron Judge’s hands for the time being. The New York Yankees superstar player is setting himself up to be in contention for a title that is very rarely awarded to players nowadays. When we passed the All-Star Break, there were only two players that were really in the conversation to win the Triple Crown. Those being the St. Louis Cardinals first basemen Paul Goldschmidt and New York Yankees Aaron Judge. With the regular season coming to a rapid close, Judge is in the lead to become the 11th player in AL/NL history to get the Triple Crown. For those that don’t know, the Triple Crown is when a single player is able to lead the league in batting average, home runs and RBIs. Judge is currently on a record-breaking season, so his inclusion on this list isn’t really surprising. After all, he’s at 60 home runs right now. This is just two away from the AL single-season home run record. It was previously set by Roger Maris 61 years ago. Judge is barely in first place when it comes to batting average at .316. The next closest is Bogaerts at a .314 and Arraez is right behind him at .313. Judge is far and away up towards the top of the home run category at 60 coming into this next game. And finally, he’s batted in approximately 128 total runs. There has only been one player since the 2012 season that has been able to win the Triple Crown title. That 2012 winner happened to be Miguel Cabrera on the Detroit Tigers. The gap between him and the next title winner was Carl Yastrzemski on the Boston Red Sox. This happened all the way back in 1967. Triple Crown Could Be Many Firsts So, assuming Judge can pull away with this title and close it out down the stretch, it’d be a wonderful feat for a few different reasons. The first is that he’d become the third player in Yankees history to win the title. Following both Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig. No other franchise in MLB history has watched three players win the Triple Crown. It would be historic for two different reasons right there. Judge would also be the first player in 100 years since the first Triple Crown was won by Hornsby back in the year 1922. Then lastly, Judge would be able to extend the Triple Crown run in the American League to seven. A player from the National League hasn’t been able to win this title in over 85 years. Goldschmidt could wind up putting together a phenomenal final stretch of the season to steal it back from Judge. But it would certainly take a lot of effort to do so. If he can however, it would be the first National League player to do so in a historic amount of time. If you’re looking for more content from us, click here to head over to our main page!

Arsenal is targeting a Bundesliga winger

September 23, 2022 No Comments

Arsenal has started making plans to bolster their squad in the January transfer window as they consider a move for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jesper Lindstrom. The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League table now, but they know it would be a very long season and they need depth. In the last campaign, their failure to bolster their squad in January derailed their bid for a top-four finish and they want to avoid that in this campaign. The Gunners remain one of the best clubs in Europe this season, but Mikel Arteta wants a new winger and he has identified Lindstrom as a top target. He helped Frankfurt to win the Europa League last season and caught the eye of the Spanish manager, who now hopes they can secure a deal in January, Matchplug understands. It remains unclear if Frankfurt will want to lose him in January, but every player has a price and Arsenal might pay his.

‘We’ll see what happens in the winter’ Chelsea target could make January move

September 23, 2022 No Comments

Chelsea transfer target Josko Gvardiol has opened the door to a January move even though he insists he is happy at RB Leipzig. The defender is just 20, but he has emerged as one of the top young defenders in the world now and the Blues were desperate to buy him in the summer. They reportedly offered 90m euros to RB Leipzig for his signature, but the Germans turned it down because they consider him an indispensable member of their team. The Croatian is happy with the decision and insists he wants to remain at the Bundesliga club to improve himself even further. However, he could agree to a move in January. He said, as quoted by Matchplug: ‘I’m happy at Leipzig, I still have a lot to learn and need to work on myself. ‘I have people who deal with it, I didn’t think about a transfer. We’ll see what happens in the winter.’

Kenny Golladay Confused About Lack Of Snaps

September 22, 2022 No Comments

Kenny Golladay is having a rough stint with the New York Giants. It hasn’t been going the way that either side planned it to be. It seems to just be getting worse and worse as time goes on though, with no end in sight. Last week, the Giants were able to come away with a victory against the Carolina Panthers, 19-16. During the course of that game, Golladay logged just two total snaps played on the afternoon. Interviewers have been peppering him with questions since they heard about this and apparently Golladay wasn’t informed as to the reason why he isn’t out there. Golladay was quoted saying, “Nah, I think it’s probably going to be a little different. But like I said, I really, I still really don’t know. I’m preparing like I’m going to be playing. But who knows.” He continued by talking about how he’s trying to just keep his head down and listen to the coaches but is genuinely confused as to the lack of time. He said, “No, I mean that’s what I said. The GM, head coach, all these coaches keep saying you do everything right. You handle yourself the right way. So, like I said, it’s a little confusing.” Kenny Golladay Got A Massive Contract For those that aren’t already aware, Golladay was a big-ticket signing made by Dave Gettleman in 2021. Golladay was handed a four-year, $72 million deal right after he posted back-to-back years of 1,000 yards receiving with the Detroit Lions. In 16 total games with the Giants, Kenny has caught just 29 passes for 543 yards without a single touchdown. So, factor in the fact that he is set to make $17.75 million throughout the course of the 2022 season. If he plays in 17 games, he is set to earn over a million per outing. That means the Giants paid this man $522,000 for each snap that he played in Week 2 against the Panthers. At this point, they might as well just cut their losses and move on. However, the problem is they can’t do that either. Cutting Golladay would force them to take a $25.4 million dead cap hit for the year. Which simply puts this option off the table for New York even if they want to head down that route. Attitude Could Be A Reason Now, Golladay could be taking a backseat for his attitude, something that has reportedly been a problem since arriving in New York. There were times when he legitimately didn’t seem like he wanted to be out there for a losing season with the Giants and wasn’t a fan of their quarterback Daniel Jones. This bad appearance last year might be the reason why new head coach Brian Daboll is forcing him to wait his turn now that they are starting to turn it around. This doesn’t mean that there’s going to be a split between these teams. Nor does it mean that Golladay won’t be hitting the field more often soon. It just means that there does seem to be a plausible reason for why the Giants aren’t giving Kenny Golladay a chance to redeem himself after a failed 2021 campaign. Click here to catch more news!

Pavard could make Premier League move next summer

September 21, 2022 No Comments

Benjamin Pavard has revealed he had offers from several clubs in the summer before deciding to stay at Bayern Munich. The defender was linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer, but he eventually stayed at Bayern for another season. However, his contract is running down and it doesn’t seem he will sign an extension to the forms at Bavarian. This would serve as a boost to Premier League clubs wanting to sign him and the player has revealed he will consider leaving at the end of this season. He said via Matchplug: ‘I questioned myself, I had calls from different clubs with my agent. Afterwards, I had the Bayern coach with whom we spoke and with whom we have a good relationship. ‘He made me understand that I was in his plans, that I was important for the team. Maybe one day I will go to one of these clubs, you never know what the future holds. ‘I’m still a year at Bayern Munich. Afterwards, we have time to project ourselves.’

“All of a sudden the contract was no longer there” Ramsey remembers leaving Arsenal

September 21, 2022 No Comments

Aaron Ramsey has explained Arsenal withdrew their contract offer to him when he was ready to sign and that forced him to leave the club. The midfielder was at Arsenal for 10 seasons before his contract ran into its final year in the 2018/2019 season. Arsenal struggled to get him to agree to a new deal and it seemed the midfielder wanted to leave. Eventually, the club withdrew its offer and he moved to Juventus on a free transfer. The Old Lady offered him a lot of money to join them, but Ramsey explains that it was not the money that made him leave Arsenal. He insists there was no other contract to sign. He said, as quoted by Matchplug: ‘It all happened… I agreed to a contract they proposed. ‘Things went quiet for a few weeks. I was telling my agent, ‘Let’s do it’, then all of a sudden the contract was no longer there. So there was nothing to sign or agree. ‘It was a difficult start for a few months with Unai [Emery]. As the season was going on, I was playing more and playing really well. ‘Then January came and I had to make a decision whether I carried on and saw what happened or whether I agreed [to sign] somewhere [else].’

5 Unique Factors Of The English Premier League Predictions

September 20, 2022 No Comments

The English Premier League season has begun, dedicated fans are stoked for this tournament’s return and sportsbooks experts are making their predictions. There were 5 unique factors of the English Premier League Predictions that influenced how experts viewed this season’s matches… With the EPL upon us, now is the perfect time for Matchplug experts to sample some of those factors that determined Premier League table predictions for the 2022/2023 season. Culled from various experts in the industry who gave their thoughts on how this season’s game is expected to go, we have listed out some of them below: Meanwhile, check out these: Predictions, Odds and Statistics for All Premier League Matches of the 2022/2023 Season by The Punters Page. Article Content: 5 Unique Factors of The English Premier League Predictions Past Season’s Performance Player Signings Change In Management Club History Transfers 2022/2023 English Premier League Predictions Predictions For Which Teams Will Face Relegation This English Premier League 2022/23 Season Predictions and Probabilities For Premier League Winner Title 5 Unique Factors Of The English Premier League Predictions There are a few factors to consider before making a prediction. And 5 factors particularly influenced the predictions made by experts for the 2022/23 English Premier League season. We have listed those factors and why they were chosen. Past Season’s Performance A team’s performance for the previous season plays the biggest impact on the predictions for the 2022/2023 Premier League table. How well or poorly a team played in the past season is a huge deal because there is a chance they may have the same performance again this season. Player Signing Player signings or lack of player power has another influence on Premier League predictions. Teams who splurged huge cash on signing key players for their squad is by logic expected to perform better than they did last season. Likewise, teams who didn’t strengthen key positions in their teams cannot logically play better this season. Change In Management Few Premier League clubs changed their managers in the summer. These new managers are expected to lead their teams to a better play than what they had last season. Club History Most clubs typically play better than others, have a long history of completely crushing their opponents, strong comebacks despite slow starts at the beginning of the season, and are picked as league favorites. On the other hand, some teams have a weak play history and don’t do too well in their matches. These types of teams are often looked over and placed as underdogs. Transfers Just like player signings, transfers also have a huge impact on predictions because they determine a team’s performance. If teams sign off their key players to their competitions they might leave their squads empty and without strong defense to protect them during the English Premier League. At the same time, if stronger players are transferred to a team, the club in question could gain an edge in the competition. Related: Factors To Consider When Making A Sports Bet. 2022/2023 English Premier League Predictions The days leading up to this season’s English Premier League came with a lot of predictions regarding the tournament. In this section we have mentioned some of the Best soccer predictions we could find for the EPL. Manchester City Manchester City has won the Premier League 4 times in the last 5 years and are currently the reigning Champions. Last EPL season, Manager Pep Guardiola didn’t play with Strikers. Instead he pushed Gabriel Jesus wide for most part of the season. In Spite of this, he found a way to win the Premier League title. During the summer transfer windows, Manchester City signed two quality strikers Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez who have already scored this season. Based on logic, Manchester City are predicted to still emerge as Premier League champions in the 2022/23 season. Liverpool Liverpool’s big statement was made in the summer transfers when they signed striker Darwin Nunez from Benfica. It is predicted that Liverpool will battle Manchester City to the end of the season like they did in 2021/2022. Overall, Liverpool is picked as the second best in the league that will make it to the end of the season. Tottenham World-class Manager Antonio Conte was poached by Tottenham last summer. Despite their weak squad and low budget, Totthenham still managed to finish top-four and qualified for the Championship. This summer, the Tottenham board pumped funds into the squad so that Conte can achieve better things. Player signings for this season have been astute and exactly what was needed. Due to this, it is predicted that Spurs will end the season in third place, topping Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea Chelsea didn’t have the best summer, the change of ownership has been tough on them. Furthermore, their signings so far didn’t address key areas. All they did was replace outgoing players, not really strengthen the club. Additionally, Lukaku and Timo Werner’s departure left a huge gap in Chelsea’s attacks. So, all they have left is Kai Havertz who is the only major center attacker. The club is expected to sign a new striker. One Sure football prediction you can rely on is Chelsea still being seen as the club to claim 4th spot in the Premier League 2022/23 season above Arsenal. This is because Thomas Tuchel proved beyond doubt last season that can still get the best out of his players no matter the underlying issues at top management. Bettors can expect to see the same energy this EPL. Arsenal Since Arterta was appointed, Arsenal never challenged for the Premier League title. The previous season, this club was one of the biggest spenders in Europe, and still couldn’t qualify for the Champions League. Even with a good prospect like Gabriel Jesus signed to their club, Arsenal cannot improve their last season performance. West Ham David Moyes is a revelation at West Ham. Although he didn’t start the season well, it was predicted to have another good season. Manchester United Manchester is a

NFL Predictions – Vikings Square Off With Eagles

September 19, 2022 No Comments

NFL Predictions Minnesota Vikings vs. Philadelphia Eagles Over/Under: 50.5 Odds: Eagles –2.5, Vikings +2.5 Time: 8:30 PM ET NFL Predictions The final game of Week 2 comes between the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Vikings were able to dominate the Green Bay Packers in the season opener, claiming a 23-7 victory to get their season off on the right foot. Meanwhile, the Eagles battled it out in a VERY high scoring matchup with the Detroit Lions, one that they narrowly escaped with a win in. The Vikings played about as great of a game as you could hope for last weekend. Kirk Cousins came out stellar with a 71.9 completion percentage which turned into 277 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. The team also got the ground game going with Dalvin Cook taking 20 rushes for 90 yards and backup Alexander Mattison taking eight carries for an additional 36 yards. The real difference maker in the game was Justin Jefferson though. Jefferson continued to prove to the world that he can’t be defended in the slightest. The young wideout hauled in nine receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns on the day from Cousins. The Eagles had significantly less to like about their defensive performance. Though they still scored 38 points offensively a week ago. Jalen Hurts struggled a bit, completing just 56.3 percent of his passes for 243 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions. It was really the run game that got going quickly and carried on from there. Miles Sanders had 13 rushes for 96 yards and a touchdown, Jalen Hurts had 17 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown, then finally both Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott added on touchdowns. The only other real notable name in Week 1 from Philadelphia was AJ Brown. The newly acquired wide receiver who had 10 receptions for 155 yards. NFL Picks Today This has all the potential to be a phenomenal game. The Eagles are favored here due to their overwhelming amount of talent but that season opener could be a bit of a warning of what’s to come. Hurts didn’t do excellent in the passing game and that defense certainly shouldn’t be allowing Detroit to drop 35 on their heads. I believe they will struggle to contain Jefferson in the passing game and it will open up gaping holes for Cook to run free through on the ground. I like the Vikings here despite them getting listed as the underdogs in the contest. The total is currently set at 50.5 for this game and it’s looking like the over is the right choice to make. Minnesota and Philadelphia are two teams that are just loaded with offensive weapons while their defenses are wildly inconsistent. These two are going to be putting up a lot of points throughout the night. Final Pick: Vikings +2.5 Over/Under Choice: Over 50.5 If you’re looking for more content, click here!

Miami Dolphins Put Together Legendary Performance

September 19, 2022 No Comments

The Miami Dolphins certainly came to play in the second half of their game against the Baltimore Ravens. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this group play to the abilities they showcased on Sunday. Miami Dolphins Had Phenomenal Game Many have doubted the young signal caller Tua Tagovailoa. He’s been one of the most heckled quarterbacks in the league by quite a substantial margin in these past few years. He proved all of the doubters wrong by throwing for 469 yards and SIX touchdown passes to lead a vicious comeback. The Dolphins found themselves down by three touchdowns at the start of the fourth quarter when Tua started lighting it up in the passing game to bring it back. Tua’s legendary performance helped the Dolphins pull away at the end of regulation with a 42-38 final. Now, the Miami Dolphins didn’t just get success out of only their quarterback. They clearly needed wide receivers to be getting open consistently. Luckily, they had the speedster duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to get the job done in that department. Waddle had 171 yards and two touchdowns through the air while Hill poured on 190 yards and two touchdowns of his own. These two teammates putting up stat lines like this in the same game will end up going down in history. It’s great to see a player like Tua thrive under the right leadership and teammates. He’s had a very rough go in the NFL due to circumstances out of his control. The former Dolphins head coach, Brian Flores, had concerns about him throughout their time together. Flores would consistently switch out hits two quarterbacks, starting Tua on some games until he felt that he underperformed and swapped back to the journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick. Speaking of Ryan, he once told reporters that Tagovailoa was “limited physically.” Tua Facing Tremendous Hate Since Joining Dolphins It’s been unfair to see this much criticism in just a few years in the league. Especially when Tua came into the NFL with a major hip injury that he was working his way back from. His new head coach Mike McDaniel was thrilled about the confidence Tagovailoa showed in this last game against Baltimore. When they asked him about his quarterback’s performance, he said, “Now maybe Tua will finally listen to me. What I mean by that is, it’s awesome to be critical of yourself. It is good. He has a high standard for himself. The absolute worst thing could have happened in the beginning of the game, the contested ball, not really his fault on the first interception and then he starts pressing and throws it up for the second interception” Mike continued by saying, “He stopped worrying about the last play and went and played and took his responsibility seriously to his teammates…. It was a moment, I think, he’ll never forget and hopefully he can use it moving forward.” With this type of motivation surrounding Tua and these 2-0 Miami Dolphins, there is a genuine shot that we could be witnessing the birth of something incredible down there. Here’s to hoping that they can keep on pushing forward in 2022 with these strong performances! Click here for more news just like this!
