Conference Championship weekend is upon us in the NFL, as we are fresh off one of the best weekends of football ever with three walk-off field goals and an overtime touchdown to secure our final four teams. Although I doubt anything can top last weekend’s games, I am still looking forward to the encore.
Here’s a closer look at my two favorite NFL parlay picks for Conference Championship weekend, all of which center around player props.

The New York Giants will look for a second straight playoff upset when they visit the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC Divisional Playoff matchup on Saturday.
The Eagles (14-3) beat the Giants (10-7-1) in both of their regular season matchups, and also have a healthy Jalen Hurts at quarterback as they try to advance to the NFC Championship.
Hurts should be able to find opportunities on the ground and in the air against New York, so we’ll be targeting him among our player props this Divisional Playoff weekend in my free NFL picks for Giants vs. Eagles below.

It’ll be a case of deja vu for the Miami Dolphins with another bottom feeder of an opponent in town for them to pad their record against in Week 6 NFL odds. It’s been a rough start for the Carolina Panthers who are the only winless team in the league. Given what we’ve seen from these teams this season, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to see the Dolphins as 13.5-point favorite on the NFL odds with a game total of 48.5.
There’s a lot to break down here, including some obvious strengths vs weaknesses as well as the possibility of this being a lookahead spot for the Dolphins. Let’s dig in and I’ll give you my free NFL picks for Panthers vs. Dolphins on October 15th.

In what may go down as Mike Tomlin’s best coaching job in a season full of uncertainty, the first game of the final week of the regular season holds plenty of intrigue. The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Baltimore in desperate need of a win and take on a Ravens team that won’t be suiting up Lamar Jackson.
Without Jackson — the current favorite to win NFL MVP by a wide margin — the NFL odds have the Steelers as 4-point road favorites in a game that’s tough to predict. Given the circumstances of the game, betting on a Pittsburgh playmaker looks like the best move.

It’s the first prime-time NFL game for Caleb Williams as his Chicago Bears face off with the Houston Texans on Sunday Night Football in Week 2.
It wasn’t necessarily the greatest debut for Williams last week, but he did get the win, making him the first No. 1 overall draft pick at quarterback to win his debut since David Carr did it with the Texans in 2002.
I look at the Caleb Williams odds and NFL player props and search for improvement for Williams in Week 2 as a part of my NFL picks for September 15.

Ian Wright has revealed he has been subjected to vile online racist abuse while Gabriel Agbonlahor has also been targeted. The former Arsenal and England striker Wright was sent a number of Instagram messages, with leading anti-racism charities condemning the conduct.
An Instagram user messaged Wright with racist taunts prompting the 56-year-old to take to Twitter. He wrote: “I know I’m not meant to look at them but these messages still hit me so hard man. This is a child!!! This kid as a direct line into me & is able to send this without any worry.”

The Football Association is poised to unveil a historic almost tenfold increase in prize money for the Women’s FA Cup.
In January the governing body said there would be “a significant increase” and the Guardian understands that the prize pot, currently about £309,000, will rise to well beyond £2.5m.

It is not yet known what the distribution model will be. Prize money for the Women’s FA Cup has been in the spotlight in recent years, with the not-for-profit FA criticised over the fact that teams competing in the early rounds have struggled to cover the costs of taking part. The disparity between the women’s and men’s competitions h…
The 2030 World Cup is to be played on three continents after Morocco, Portugal and Spain won the race to host the 48-team tournament but Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay were handed the opening three matches.
The decision, which caught even seasoned Fifa watchers by surprise, means that World Cup 2030 will involve teams playing in six countries, each of which will qualify automatically. The World Cup has never been played on more than one continent before and proposals for a tournament to be played over thousands of miles was met with shock by climate groups.
The decision, and the timing, appeared to pave the way for Saudi Arabia to host the World Cup in 2034 and within hours the kingdom unveiled its bid for that tou…
Not since Theodore Roosevelt nudged university leaders into adopting the forward pass has college football embarked on a season of as much wholesale change as the sport faces in 2024. Revisiting the 2023 season’s College Football Playoff highlights just how dramatically the game is shifting. After 10 seasons with a final four of sorts, the championship tournament triples in size to a playoff bracket ballooned to 12 teams. Three of the four head coaches involved in last year’s playoff moved on in the offseason. That group includes the greatest coach in college football history, Nick Saban, who leapt into retirement unexpectedly. Kalen DeBoer, who coached Washington to the title game, takes up Saban’s mantle at Alabama while 2023 national championship winner Jim Harbaugh leaves Mi…
Last season we did our weekly rookie quarterback tracker, but with only one taken in the first round of 2022, we’ve moved onto another highly coveted position — wide receiver. For 2022 we’ll be keeping up with all six first-round wideouts and tracking their progress throughout the year. Some of our first-round rookies are already off to the races and contributing heavily to their teams. The one exception on the list for at least the first few weeks of the season will be Detroit Lions’ first-round pick, Jameson Williams from Alabama. Williams tore his ACL in last year’s National Championship game but is on track to make his debut for the Lions this season. Let’s see how this year’s crop of rookies stacks up: Jameson Williams – Lions (torn ACL) source: Getty Images Ja…
