The Indianapolis Colts were once a model franchise. 

Between 2003 and 2014 the franchise won the NFC South nine times, made two Super Bowl appearances winning one, and losing in the AFC Championship Game twice more. 

They employed the likes of Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison and then drafted Andrew Luck in 2012 as their next franchise quarterback — we all know how that ended. Luck abruptly retired and the Colts were left spinning their wheels. 

Since that 2019 season where they finished 7-9, things have been trending down. They went 9-8 in 2021 and then 4-12-1 last year which left everyone inside the organization with a sour taste in their mouth. 

Their supposed workhorse running back, Jonathan Taylor now w…

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.

Whether you look forward to the Super Bowl commercials each year or consider them little more than a convenient bathroom break, you can’t deny their enduring impact. Year after year, new and increasingly more expensive advertisements emerge to enthrall, entertain, and sell, sell, sell!

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 2017 Confederations Cup is right around the corner.

The pre-tournament before the 2018 World Cup will feature some of the best teams in the world. Here we present you a comprehensive preview of Group B, which features Germany, Chile, Australia, and Cameroon. The reigning World Cup holders are slight favourites on paper. However, Chile are a darkhorse to win the tournament based on their recent international results.

Germany

There has been a lot of talk regarding Germany and their participation in the Confederations Cup. Die Mannschaft arrived at the tournament as the reigning World Cup holders, and they were massive favourites to win the Cup until Joachim …

Mikel Arteta is hoping for a fast start as Arsenal begin their quest for the Premier League title when they welcome Wolves to the Emirates on Saturday.

Arteta s side concluded their pre-season preparations with a comfortable 2-0 win over Lyon last week, with William Saliba and Gabriel on target in the first half.

And the Gunners head coach explained that his side must set the tone in the opening exchanges against Gary O Neil s side in North London.

Look at today with the way we started, for sure. It’s about maintaining that for 95 minutes and that’s the target and objectives that we need to have, Arteta said after the win over the French side.

There’s a lot of positives to take from today’s performance again.

I think overall it s be…

Stuttgart were held to a 1-1 home draw by Sparta Prague in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Sparta midfielder Kaan Kairinen cancelled out an early opener from Enzo Millot.

His goal came against the run of play in the seventh minute, as Millot connected with an excellent lofted cross from Maximilian Mittelstadt to head home.

Sparta almost responded through Martin Vitik, who hit the post, but they had the goal they had been working towards when Kairinen expertly fired a free-kick into the top-right corner.

Midfielder Veljko Birmancevic had chances to put Sparta in front either side of the break, while Stuttgart had the upper hand throughout most of the second half but could not seal the three points.

It was a step in the right direction for Stuttgar…

There was a certain inevitability about Maurizio Sarri s fate once Juventus were knocked out of the Champions League last 16 by Lyon.

Sure, the swiftness of Juve s decision caught some off guard but not even winning the Serie A title is enough to assuage the Bianconeri board nowadays.

After nine straight Serie A titles that should not really be a surprise, and most observers would acknowledge Juve s success this season had as much to do with their rivals failures as it did their own merits.

But how do the numbers back up such an assertion? Well, using Opta data we compared Juve s solitary Serie A season under Sarri to their final campaign under Massimiliano Allegri in 2018-19 to try and shed some light.

Liverpool and Luis Suarez grudgingly accepted the striker’s eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra on this day in 2012.

The Uruguay international began his suspension immediately after the club reviewed the 115-page document from the independent disciplinary commission and decided not to appeal against the sanction and a £40,000 fine.

However, Liverpool made it clear their action was by no means an acceptance of culpability and again criticised the way the Football Association handled the investigation into an incident which occurred during the 1-1 draw at Anfield in October, 2011.

“It is our strongly held conviction that the Football Association and the panel it selected constructed a highly subjective case against Luis…
