The battered Jacksonville Jaguars head to Ohio to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 14 odds. Both teams have fought through their share of injuries this season including the Jags losing franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence to an ankle injury last week.
With the likely absence of Lawrence on Sunday, NFL odds for this showdown have flipped, with lookahead lines installing Jacksonville as a 3-point favorite but now favoring the Browns at -3. Here are my best free NFL picks and predictions for Jaguars vs. Browns on December 10.

The Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns enter the 2024 season as some of the league’s most intriguing contenders, and the first week of the preseason will be a good showcase of what both rosters are capable of.
Both coaches have said that starters on both sides of the ball will play on Saturday, making this contest a bit more interesting and competitive than most.

The Green Bay Packers headed into last year’s preseason with a lot of question marks, featuring the transition to Jordan Love and the seemingly massive role a lot of very young…
“Football is nothing without fans,” said Jock Stein. Although not every fan contributes to the spectacle of football equally. Some go to matches and act in ways that would not be deemed acceptable anywhere else.
They throw missiles, shout racist slurs, yell at referees, taunt players about their dead relatives, punch horses, throw banana skins and travel abroad to support their country and end up embarrassing their country. Spend long enough at a football match and you will see some supporters who are so pent up with anger, frustration and rage that you will be left wondering whether they enjoy the experience anymore or whether they would be better off doing something else with their Saturdays.

‘Guten Tag. Wie geht’s?” “Sehr gut, und dir?” At which point, Georgia Stanway and I have pretty much exhausted our meagre supply of German. It’s not entirely our fault: as any Brit living in Germany will tell you, it is virtually impossible to learn the local language when everyone is intent on chattering away at you in English. Since moving to Bayern Munich last summer Stanway has been taking weekly lessons, but admits she’s “still waiting for that click”. The coach, Alexander Straus, conducts his team meetings in English. The training ground instructions are in English. The WhatsApp group is in English. Mercifully, so is the rest of this interview.
Still, for a Barrow girl there are times when Munich feels a long way from…
Burnley will look for their first league win since the appointment of Brian Laws, while Chelsea will attempt to continue their steamrollering of the Premierleague.
Burnley haven t exactly struggled since Brian Laws took charge, with only a couple of tough games under their belt, but they face another very challenging afternoon at home to Chelsea. The Squad looks to be in good shape ovrall, but I think Burnley will miss the experience and quality of Caldwell and Bikey in defence, with both suffering from injuries. The Burnley players will be looking to impress their new coach with the january window drawing to a close, and I think we might see a real battling performance from the players.
Chelsea s season goes from strength to strength and any neutral would expect to see…
Week 3 of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League will take place between Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Here are the three top matches to watch during this week’s slate.
Galatasaray vs Real Madrid (Tuesday, 20:00 BST)
On paper, Los Merengues look like massive favourites to win this match given their depth, quality and experience. However, it is not going to be an easy fixture for Los Merengues. Especially playing on the road since teams have always struggled when playing on Turkish soil. And the fact that Galatasaray are in dire need of a win shouldn’t make things easier for Zinedine Zidane’s men.
After the first two matches, both Real Madrid and Galatasaray sit out of the qualification zone with just one point, after posting identical D1, L1 marks. The main differe…
Lionel Messi received the Ballon d Or trophy from 2018 winner Luka Modric on Monday, with the Real Madrid midfielder then congratulating Barcelona s forward on social media.
Modric ended Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo s 10-year duopoly on the prestigious prize last year having helped Croatia reach the World Cup final after winning a third successive Champions League with Real Madrid.
It was Messi s turn to win the award again this year, though, as he claimed a record sixth Ballon d Or having scored 41 goals in 44 club appearances so far across the calendar year.
Messi was LaLiga s top scorer in 2018-19 as Barcelona beat Real Madrid to the title, though that did not stop Modric praising a star on the other side of the Clasico divide.

With the transfer deadline upon us, I will take the next two days to touch basis on the latest rumours and speculation in world football. Let s get started.
Arsenal
This should come as no surprise to anyone who follows football. Following a humiliating 8-2 defeat at the hands of Manchester United at Old Trafford, Arsene Wenger is finally looking to strengthen his squad.
The latest reports have Brazilian left-back Andre Santos (Fenerbahce S.K.), Florent Malouda (Chelsea FC), Alex (Chelsea FC), Yossi Benayoun (Chelsea), and Gary Cahill (Bolton Wanderers). By the looks of it, Wenger is trying to sign all of Chelsea s B team. Is that really going to help the Gunners versus the biggest clubs in the Premier League? I highly doubt it.

When you’re this far down the NFL betting rabbit hole, you can’t just rely on numbers to lead you to profits.
Factors beyond the analytics and power ratings rear their ugly heads in the home stretch of the schedule, with teams pushing for the playoffs, some counting down the days to the offseason, and all feeling the grind of the longest NFL slate ever.
That’s where situational capping comes in, better known as spot bets. I comb this week’s schedule for the best NFL Week 14 spot bets and angles with our letdown, lookahead and schedule spots to know.

For the second time in less than a month, the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs will meet in an AFC West battle.
The first meeting, in Week 10, represented a high-point of Patrick Mahomes’ season but also helped to extend a winning streak that is now five games, as Kansas City’s defense has hit its stride. On the other side, Las Vegas has continued to struggle since that loss, with just one win in its last five.
Here are our NFL picks and predictions for Raiders vs. Chiefs, with kickoff on December 12.
