Does the theory of “any given Sunday” also apply to Thursday Night Football? The Denver Broncos are certainly hoping so. Denver has lost 15 straight games to the Kansas City Chiefs dating back to 2015, and enters tonight’s skirmish at Arrowhead Stadium as a heavy 10.5-point underdog. The last time these two teams tangled was on New Year’s Day, when KC pulled off a narrow 27-24 win thanks to a huge performance from Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns.

While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game, did you know that you can also live stream Broncos vs. Chiefs directly from legal sports betting sites?

It’s Easton Stick vs. Jarrett Stidham tonight in Week 17 as the Los Angeles Chargers visit the Denver Broncos, who are moving on from Russell Wilson in what should be called a business decision. The Broncos and Stidham still enter as a 3.5-point favorite — down from -5.5 earlier in the week and before the announcement.

It’s never easy for books to set totals with new quarterbacks, but they got it wrong with the opening line on Stidham’s rushing yards basing it off a small sample size from last season. It’s time to hit that Under in what could be an ugly game.

The Indianapolis Colts head north to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers as both teams will be looking to avoid an 0-2 start after close losses in their season openers.

There’s a strong chance that the Packers will be without franchise quarterback Jordan Love in this contest, and that will play a massive role in my Colts vs. Packers predictions. 

Find out why I’m backing the road team in my NFL picks for Sunday, September 15.

My analysis

The Indianapolis Colts played an extremely competitive back-and-forth game with the Houston Texans last week but ultimately fell by a score of 29-27. 

Anthony Richardson was incon…

The plan

It was another season of relegation struggle and managerial turnover for Leicester last term. A terrible start under Lydia Bedford– who failed to get a single point on the board – led to Willie Kirk, then director of women’s football, taking the reins in November.

Despite improved performances, results remained hard to come by before the winter break and, with a seven-point deficit to overturn, Kirk’s team looked down and out. Astute signings and increased confidence turned things around with safety finally sealed on the final day.

Kirk has used this summer to enforce a squad overhaul and make his own mark on the team. Sixteen players have departed for a var…

Many believe that Spanish La Liga is the strongest football league in Europe and with sides like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla vying for the coveted trophy every year. It’s not difficult to understand why the Spanish domestic league and all the transfer dealings surrounding the top clubs generate plenty of interest around the world.

Just like all other top leagues, Spanish La Liga only allows clubs to sign new players during summer and winter transfer windows, open between 1 July & 31 August and 1 January and 31 January respectively. Having said that, free transfers can be completed outside said dates. All the deals need to go through the FIFA Transfer Matching System before they are confirmed as details entered by the selling and buying club need to …

Marco Reus will leave Borussia Dortmund when his contract expires at the end of the season, the club have announced.

Reus, a Dortmund native, first joined the club in 1995 and spent 10 years in their youth ranks before joining Rot Weiss Ahlen, who he left for Borussia Monchengladbach in 2009.

After three impressive seasons with Gladbach, Reus returned to Dortmund in a €17million deal in 2012 and has made 424 appearances for the club across all competitions.

That puts him fourth in BVB s all-time charts behind Michael Zorc (561), Mats Hummels (504) and Roman Weidenfeller (445), while his 168 goals in black and yellow have only been bettered by Alfred Preissler, who scored 177 in two spells between 1945 and 1959, before the Bundesliga was founded.

It s been all change in Serie A ahead of the 2019-20 season, with five of last season s top six changing their head coach.

As such, an action-packed close season in the transfer market followed.

Champions Juventus have done big business, but could any of the chasing pack including Antonio Conte s Inter catch them after a busy window?

Although Italian clubs can buy until September 2, we take a look at five of the best signings in Serie A before the action gets underway.

5. Aaron Ramsey (Juventus)

Juventus are the masters of the free transfer and nothing changed this year, with two huge midfield signings arriving without a fee. Adrien Rabiot is a massive talent who will improve Maurizio Sarri s options, but Ramsey may well prove the re…

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have occupied the top two spots in the Ballon d Or voting in all but one of the past nine years, and 2017 promises to continue that trend.

The Barcelona superstar just holds the edge on his rival with five wins to Ronaldo s four, and if the trophy truly stands as the ultimate reward for individual brilliance as it claims  Messi will extend that advantage at Thursday s ceremony in Paris.

Ronaldo took home the prize last year, at the end of a 12-month period that saw him claim European glory on both domestic and international fronts with Real Madrid and Portugal.

He has enjoyed a similarly stellar 2017, scooping a LaLiga winners medal as well as a third Champions League crown in four seasons.

But the Ballon d Or does n…

As an England fan I am accustomed to being put through the mill at the hands of the Three Lions.

Every World Cup year England are touted as possible world champions and every time they disappoint.

Unfortunately after watching the USA game I feel it will be the same old story this time.

Early

People will accuse me of jumping the gun or being premature in that prediction on one game. However in the 1-1 draw with America some weaknesses were exposed.

We have a propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot in major tournaments and we have already in South Africa.

Blunders

In every World Cup an incident happens that derails England’s chances of winning the tournament. In World Cup 1990 it was missed penalties against Germany. We failed t…

Brentford have announced the signing of Denmark midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard in a reported £12.6million (€15m) transfer.

Damsgaard leaves Serie A, where he had played for Sampdoria since 2020.

The 22-year-old scored only two goals in 46 league games in Italy, providing four assists, but he caught the eye at Euro 2020 last year as Denmark reached the semi-finals.

Damsgaard scored twice, including a spectacular first goal in the 2-1 last-four defeat to England, as well as adding an assist.

A message from our new

— Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC)

Brentford coach Thomas Frank said of Damsgaard, who has signed a five-year contract: Mikkel is, in my opinion, another classic Brentford signing.

He is a young player with big potential t…
