The Dallas Cowboys return to primetime just one week after a 32-point beatdown and now face the Los Angeles Chargers in our Monday Night Football odds, who are winners of two straight and come with fresh legs off of their bye.
Adding extra juice to tonight’s Week 6 odds finale is offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who landed with the Chargers this offseason after being let go from the Cowboys after last season.
What will Kellen Moore cook up for Justin Herbert and this Chargers offense? Will Mike McCarthy have an answer on his side to stick it to his old offensive coordinator?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will try to punch their ticket to the playoffs on Sunday with a win against the Carolina Panthers. The Bucs control their destiny with a victory clinching the NFC South and they couldn’t ask for a better opponent with the 2-14 Panthers having the worst record in the league entering Week 18.
NFL odds for this showdown opened with the Bucs as 5.5-point favorites before shortening to -4.5. Here are my best free NFL picks and predictions for the Buccaneers vs. Panthers on Sunday, January 7.

Football bettors get a double dose of primetime action with two Monday Night Football matchups on the Week 3 odds board, starting with the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Buffalo Bills.
With Buffalo off a lopsided TNF win, my Jaguars vs. Bills predictions have us backing the home side.
I break down the opening lines and give you my NFL picks for Monday, September 23.
Jaguars vs Bills predictions
Early spread leanBills -5.5 (-115 at FanDuel)
My analysis
If you read my Sunday night column, “Bet Now, Bet Later” you already know I’m on the Buffalo Bills after this spread opened as low as -5. As of Monday morning, most shops are at Bills -6 but there are a handful dealing an expensive -5.5.
“This year we have to drink all the beer,” Joshua Kimmich says, his tone deadpan as he ponders how weird it would be for Bayern Munich not to have their traditional beer-throwing celebration in front of their supporters if they win the Bundesliga this season. “I cannot imagine it now. I just know that it is strange if you win a game at the Allianz Arena and cannot celebrate with your fans. But we don’t have the choice now.”
Bayern’s outstanding midfielder can be forgiven for his confidence. The German champions were motoring before the coronavirus pandemic brought football to a halt in March and they have effortlessly picked up the pace since the Bundesliga season resumed last month, gliding seven points clear of Borussia Dortmun…
The losses at Everton have not just been confined to the pitch. With their Premier League status increasingly imperilled, they announced a third successive annual deficit of more than £100m thislast week. Rarely has so much been spent to accomplish so little and if some speculate to accumulate, the danger is that Everton have speculated to relegate.
A glimpse at a team with 15 defeats in 20 Premier League games can prompt questions about where the money has gone. Everton have the worst away record this season and the fewest points in the past six months even though around £550m has been spent on transfers during Farhad Moshiri’s largely ill-fated reign as owner.
Everton lose more than £100m for third successive year but avoid sanctio…
The meeting between Wolves and Chelsea is set to become the first Premier League fixture to take place on Christmas Eve since 1995 in a move a that has been heavily criticised by the Football Supporters’ Association as “an unwanted present”.
The match at Molineux had been due to take place on 23 December as part of the Christmas programme that will also include a full fixture list on Boxing Day and 30 December. But the Guardian understands the decision to move the fixture back 24 hours has already been taken in an attempt to fulfil broadcasting requirements.

The final jewel of thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown will be contested on June 8 with the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes. The oldest race of the trio may or may not provide fans with a thrilling finish like the Kentucky Derby did or a historical result like the Preakness, but it seems to hold more intrigue leading up to the race than its two predecessors. That is because the race will be run away from Belmont Park for the first time in 57 years and at a distance shorter than its grueling 1 ½-miles. Saratoga Race Course, affectionately known as “The Spa”, in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., will host the race for the first time as Belmont Park is currently undergoing extensive renovations. The track located in the New York City suburb of Elmont is building both a new grandstand …
The same people keep picking the same people because they only surround themselves with the same people. No, this isn’t a column about the lack of diversity when it comes to the NFL and how owners love to hire mediocre white coaches who they’re “comfortable with” instead of tapping into a pipeline of overqualified Black candidates. This is about how the lack of diversity in sports media follows the same recipe. Earlier this week, The Big Lead revealed its 2022 Sports Media Awards. The majority of the winners are white… as hell. Of the 15 individual awards that were given out, 12 went to white men. The winners included: Sports Personalities of the Year (Troy Aikman and Joe Buck), Best In-Game Analyst (Cris Collinsworth), Best Play-by-Play Announcer (Mike Breen), Insider of th…
The Williams sisters, and more recently, shock U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens rewarded the tennis hopes of any red-blooded American patriots. Frankly Serena’s haul alone should keep a country sated for a few generations. But U.S. men lag well behind. Ignoring the small sparks produced by Frances Tiafoe over five sets against Roger Federer, it’s difficult to come up with promising American men, names who could possibly win something of note during the the Euro-dominated era of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray. Can you name any American men at all? The servebot John Isner and Sam Querrey (who had a fine season) have probably both peaked, without any serious hardware to show for it. The biggest tournaments in men’s tennis are the four Grand Slams; the…
Some people are fans of the Oakland Raiders. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Oakland Raiders. 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: Oakland Raiders: Your 2015 record: 7-9, in which they dropped four of their last five games. WHAT AN UP-AND-COMING YOUNG BUNCH OF SCAMPS. The best part was when Ray-Ray Armstrong got investigated for yelling at a police dog. Your coach: Handsome boob Jack Del Rio. Everyone’s gonna say nice shit about the Raiders this preseason. They’re relatively young. They have a QB. They preserved continuity by extending GM Reggie “Shrek” McKenzie until 2021. Aldon Smith is on suspension and can’t run over your son while drunk anymo…
