Betting NFL Week 18 is not for the faint of heart.
The regular season finales present plenty of puzzles for both bookies and bettors alike, as motivations are a mixed bag — a bag stuffed with feral cats, rusty mouse traps, and defective deep fryers.
The last slate of games for the 2023 season is especially enigmatic, as several clubs can still qualify for the postseason should things bounce their way this weekend.
There are also playoff-bound teams weighing rest vs. rust, leaving Week 18 odds in limbo with several spreads parked at “dead numbers” as the market waits for more information.
And, of course, there are those teams with nothing to play for. Do the players care? Are head coaches on the way out? Would a win spoil t…

Premier League clubs have substantially changed the way they train amid the coronavirus pandemic, with the average time players spend within two metres of one another almost halving during the first week of contact sessions.
Project Restart is stepping up ahead of the top flight’s resumption on 17 June, with clubs given the green light to move from physically distanced small group training to contact sessions on 27 May.
The Premier League worked with STATSports to help shape those sessions as its technology provides data on the movement of players and how often they come into contact with each other, enabling clubs to assess the risk of different aspects of training.

Curtis Jones has said it took a change in mindset to establish himself at Liverpool having “hit a wall” when he first broke into Jürgen Klopp’s team.
The 22-year-old is enjoying the finest period of his senior career at present, an ongoing three-match suspension notwithstanding, having secured a regular starting role for his boyhood club last season, scored the winner in the European under-21s Championship final in July and held off competition from several new signings at Liverpool to retain his place this term.

Yes, sports is like all other major American industries — run by a handful of people who made out like bandits in this economic system of great wealth disparity. Because they have accumulated such vast wealth, they believe that is a sign of intelligence and that hubris frequently leads to poor decision-making both on and off the field of play. For all of the greed, drama, bickering, and dozens of pages of investigation findings, sports remains a highly compelling entertainment product. The players rise through the ranks as they go from children to adults, what they endure in the process, the disagreements with coaches and management, the agony of defeat, and eventually victory whether it’s a championship, an all-star appearance, or maybe just making a timely contribution on a big sta…
Darius Bazley, high school senior and top prospect for the 2019 NBA Draft, has retracted a commitment to Syracuse and intends to enter the D-League this fall, possibly carving a new path to the NBA, as Yahoo’s Shams Charania reports. This is cool and basically without precedent! A handful of NBA-quality players and also Emmanuel Mudiay have skipped college to play abroad and collect a fat paycheck, but Bazley is the first to opt for this particular path through the developmental league. Bazley will turn 18 in June, making him eligible to sign a contract with a D-League team come September. Discussing his unusual decision with Yahoo! Sports, the Cincinnati native came across as intensely deliberate and motivated: This all relies and falls back on me, and that’s another reason why …
Some people are fans of the Detroit Lions. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Detroit Lions. 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: Detroit Lions. Your 2015 record: 7-9. Roll the video… That’s 61 yards on an untimed down coming off a facemask penalty that looked like a facemask penalty but was NOT, in fact, a facemask penalty. This only happens when you’re the Lions. No other team is so perennially capable of stringing you along for a bit, and then having its past reputation for losing and dirty nut-stomping collide with its present incompetence in one fantastic moment of abject stupidity. Oh, and then there was this: Amazing. You guys make Cleveland seeme…
