We are one of the Best sports betting sites to get picks, odds, and previews for all NFL games.  Predictions And Betting Preview For Minnesota Vikings VS Atlanta Falcons Odds as seen on 1XBet. Betting On The Minnesota Vikings The Minnesota Vikings have won 14 of their last 20 matches, and while their defense shows signs of breaking apart, they have allowed the fifth-fewest points per game (18.3) and lowest EPA per play. Minnesota have a higher clip than any team in the NFL (38.0%) and are fourth in pressure percentage. Similarly, analysts like that the Vikings defense knows Atlanta QB Kirk Cousins very well. Most of Cousin’s numbers drop drastically when he is not throwing from a clean pocket. He dips from a 7.8 yards per attempt and 71.9 completion percentage to respective 7.3 and 56.1% marks when pressured.  Betting On The Atlanta Falcons This match won’t exactly qualify as a high-end contest on the surface, and it’s due to the Atlanta Falcons’ record. The Falcons permit a middling 7.24 yards per target and 72.0 catch percentage to opposing tight ends; they also haven’t encountered many top receivers at the position. Fans can expect Atlanta to lean on the run to shorten the match and sideline Vikings offense.  Bijan Robinson has topped 70% snap share in four straight, and he can deliver a solid 3.37 yards after contact per attempt and 34.1 breakaway percentage for the season. Supporters can have confidence in Robinson and Atlanta’s offensive line. The team is sixth in PFF run blocking grade, and the second-year rusher has cleared his total in 6 of the past seven matches, while averaging 85.7 rushing yards per and 4.8 yards per carry.  MatchPlug Prediction For Minnesota Vikings VS Atlanta Falcons  The Vikings continue to win close matches, and they have a superior coaching staff. In addition, Minnesota knows Kirk Cousins well, and he has turned the ball over six times during the Falcons three-game skid. The Vikings enter Week 14 with a 2-4-1 record against the spread, so expect them to cover today. Final Prediction: Minnesota Vikings Spread.

new york giants vs new orleans saints

NFL PREDICTIONS: New York Giants VS New Orleans Saints betting Tips

The New Orleans Saints will visit the Meadowlands on Sunday when they compete against the New York Giants. Read our preview of Giants VS Saints. MatchPlug has the NFL predictions, picks, odds, and analysis for Giants VS Saints. Check out the previews for similar matches on our site. Predictions And Betting Preview For New York Giants VS New Orleans Saints  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On The New York Giants The New York Giants have permitted a run of 18 or more yards in all of their last eight matches and in 10 games overall this term. With Alvin Kamara as the starting running back for their opponents, he will hit a high mark for the Saints. If Taysom Hill wasn’t injured, he would have been another player to back.  Most of the runs that the Giants have conceded have been from their quarterbacks, but Derek Carr is not a mobile threat out of the pocket. Carr has 59 yards rushing this campaign with a long of 13 yards. Jamaal Williams has just 32 carries on the season and is mostly used for short yardage events.  Betting On The New Orleans Saints The New Orleans Saints spot a 4-8 record and are still alive in the NFC South race. They will like their chances of winning when they face the Giants today. They have won two of their last three matches after losing seven straight. Their current opponents have lost seven consecutive matches and seem to have lost hope this season after letting Daniel Jones go.  Kamara is the starting linebacker for the Saints in this game and he has explosive plays. He has 23 runs of 10+ yards and 45 runs where he reached up to 15 MPH. Both of those numbers are the second-highest in any given term throughout his career. Now, Kamara will face a New York team with the 29th-ranked rushing defense in the  NFL and that permitted 52 runs of 10 yards.  MatchPlug Prediction For New York Giants VS New Orleans Saints  On paper and by performance, the New Orleans Saints are in a better position to win this match versus the New York Giants. Take the Saints on the moneyline.  Final Prediction: New Orleans Saints moneyline.

NFL PREDICTIONS: Pittsburgh Steelers VS Cleveland Browns betting Tips

Two AFC North rivals will have their second meeting in three weeks when the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Cleveland Browns. Don’t miss Steelers VS Browns.  Read out NFL predictions, picks, odds, and analysis for Steelers VS Browns. MatchPlug provides accurate Sports betting predictions for NFL previews.  Predictions And Betting Preview For Pittsburgh Steelers VS Cleveland Browns Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On The Pittsburgh Steelers The Pittsburgh Steelers just took their third loss of the season to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12, but that can be chalked up to an anomaly. That match witnessed a lot of heavy snowing and strong winds that kept both clubs one-dimensional and away from their normal offensive scheme.  Pittsburgh has the obvious edge today, thanks to their defense that is permitting only 311 total yards per game (6th in the NFL).  Betting On Cleveland Browns  Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns have played below-average at defending the rush. The Browns are 22nd in rushing yards allowed per game (1,538) while conceding 17 rushing touchdowns. They are tied for fourth-most among all teams.  If the Browns bring this type of performance against the Steelers and their veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, he will have no other choice but to fallback on some of his backfield options. Thankfully for Pittsburgh, they have a good player in Najee Harris.  MatchPlug Prediction For Pittsburgh Steelers VS Cleveland Browns  The Steelers lead the AFC North, thanks to their strong rushing attack led by Harris. Fans can expect him to play a significant role against a Browns defense that stays susceptible on the ground.  Final Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers Moneyline.

NFL PREDICTIONS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers VS Las Vegas Raiders betting Tips

The Las Vegas Raiders will visit the Sunshine State to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today. Don’t miss Buccaneers VS Raiders.  Use out NFL Betting tips to wager easily on Buccaneers VS Raiders. You can also find similar previews on MatchPlug.  Predictions And Betting Preview For Tampa Bay Buccaneers VS Las Vegas Raiders  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have a weak defense, but the Raiders lack the playmakers to exploit that weakness. Las Vegas is last in the NFL in rush EPA, and their tight end Brock Bowers is the only weapon they have in a one-dimensional passing match.  The Buccaneers are fifth in the league in offensive success rate and should have little issues running up the score at home here. They are also off a win against the Carolina Panthers that was way closer than they expected, so they won’t take the Raiders for granted.  Betting On The Las Vegas Raiders  The Las Vegas Raiders almost upset the Kansas City Chiefs as 13.5 -point road dogs last week, but that doesn’t erase the fact they lost eight matches in a row, with five of those losses happening by double digits.  On the other end of the ball, Vegas is 26th in the NFL in defensive dropback EPA and 28th in points per game conceded (27.8). The Buccaneers offensive line allows pressure at the lowest rate in the league, and if it can control Maxx Crosby, then Baker Mayfield will have enough time to destroy a weak secondary.  MatchPlug Prediction For Tampa Bay Buccaneers VS Las Vegas Raiders  The Raiders have lost eight consecutive matches, and will now travel for an early match. The Buccaneers are the more talented side (mainly on offense) and are in a fight for the NFC South, while Las Vegas is tanked. Final Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers spread.

Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea to fight over Ayyoub Bouaddi

Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are all interested in Lille wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi. Sources say he is a potential candidate for transfer.  Bouaddi already plays regularly for Ligue 1 side Lille and is quickly growing his reputation as one of the best players in Europe in his age grade.  According to CaughtOffside, the young player’s reputation has earned him offers from Premier League clubs, especially Chelsea and Arsenal. Liverpool and AC Milan might also be two clubs invested in getting Bouaddi to sign with them.  Chelsea has a fantastic youth project managed by the ownership at Stamford Bridge, so that could be an advantage in convincing Ayyoub that he will get the opportunity to play and grow with them.  However, the Gunners are making great strides under Mikel Arteta, so the French player could find the Emirates Stadium a favourable destination.

Manchester United send scouts to watch FC Porto’s Francisco Moura and Samu Aghehowa

Shane Bieber re-enlists with Guardians

Shane Bieber is rejoining the Cleveland Guardians. The former Cy Young award winner accepted a one-year, $10 million contract with Cleveland for 2025. According to sources, the deal includes a $16 million player option for 2026 ($4 million buyout). That means it will either be a $14 million one-year deal or $26 million two-year deal if Bieber agrees to the option.  However, the Guardians are yet to confirm the deal.  This reunion was one that no one could have predicted one year ago. During that time, Bieber was in his final year with Cleveland, before entering free agency. Considering hsi track record, it was clear that Shane would be way out of the Guardians’ budget. But in the first week of the 2024 campaign, things changed.  Bieber was the best he had been since he won the AL Cy Young trophy in 2020. He discussed falling in love with the game again after struggling with his issues and fighting injuries in the last few terms. This was the version of Bieber he knew he could be. And it was the type of player who would make money as a free agent.

clay holmes moving crosstown to join mets as a starter

Clay Holmes moving crosstown to join Mets as a starter

The New York Mets have accepted terms on a three-year, $38 million deal with right-hander Clay Holmes. But, the Mets do not wish to use him as a reliever. Instead, they will turn him to the rotation, hoping for his ability to use a three-pitch mix multiple times through a batting order.  New York has not confirmed the contract, which contains an opt-out after the 2026 season, because it is awaiting a physical.  When the deal becomes official, the signing will be one of the examples of an established reliever stretching out as a starter. Former Mets reliever Seth Lugo started the trend in 2023 when he signed with the San Diego Padres and delivered a 3.57 ERA in 26 starts. A year later, Lugo finished second in American League Cy Young voting.  Lugo’s replacement in the Padres rotation, Michael King, went from a standout Yankees reliever to a fantastic San Diego starter, also getting Cy Young votes.  Unlike Lugo and King, Holmes does not have four-plus pitches. But the former Yankees pitcher throws with regularity, including a high-velocity sinker that he led the Majors with a 64.6 percent ground-ball rate last term. Holmes compliments that pitch with two unique breaking balls, a slider and sweeper, which he used to strike out 68 batters in 63 innings.
