The Seattle Seahawks finally got the offense rolling last week and will look to make it back-to-back wins when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans who’ll be starting Davis Mills at quarterback. Russell Wilson & Co. enter the Week 14 contest as 7.5-point road favorites following Houston’s zero-point performance a week ago.
Can the Seahawks run the table and finish 9-8? Can the Texans be anything other than a tune-up game for their opponents, especially with Mills under center? Find out in our free picks, predictions and NFL odds for the Seahawks vs. Texans.

Tom Brady enters Thursday night as a home dog for just the 13th time in his NFL career as the embarrassed Tampa Bay Buccaneers host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in primetime.
The Ravens have fully committed to the run with Gus Edwards back and could have success as the Bucs were torched on the ground by D’Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard last week. Mike Evans and the passing game also have a great matchup vs. this Baltimore secondary.
We’ve covered all the bases in our Ravens vs. Buccaneers picks and predictions but I also give you my best NFL prop picks below.

A pair of 7-6 SU teams face off indoors this afternoon as Mitch Trubisky and the rested Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Indianapolis Colts, who sit as -2.5-point favorites on the NFL odds board.
With an indoor setting, Trubisky and this offense getting more time, the Indy defense struggling to stop anyone, and the Steelers’ defense banged up and not looking great in prime time, should bettors continue to pile on Colts Overs?

It may just be the preseason but the Green Bay Packers continue to surprise people after convincingly beating the Browns last week, handing them just their second preseason loss in their last seven games.
This week, they’ll take on the Denver Broncos, a team they faced last October but with a very different quarterback at the helm. I break it all down in my Packers vs. Broncos predictions and NFL picks below.

Gold medal winner Justin Rose says the congratulations he received from former football superstar Luis Figo demonstrates the reach made possible by golf s return to the Olympic Games.
Great Britain s Rose defeated Henrik Stenson of Sweden by two strokes after a duel that went to the final hole in Rio on Sunday.
And the 36-year-old claimed that attracting attention from the likes of Wayne Rooney and Figo, the 2000 Ballon d Or winner, demonstrates the value of competing at the quadrennial showpiece event.
I didn t even know he was a golfer, per se, Rose told Sky Sports when asked about former Real Madrid and Barcelona superstar Figo.
So when someone like that comes out of left field, it just shows what a huge reach the Olympic Games has.

In the games on day three of the Euros we went from the sublime to the ridiculous. Actually it was the other way round as the early game between France and Romania was quite dreadful and the evening game between Holland and Italy was superb.
One of the pundits on the BBC in England described the France against Romania game as the worst game of football he has ever seen. I wouldn’t have gone quite that far but it really was bad. The Romanians will be pleased that they set out to get a point and achieved their goals. The French will be devastated that they produced so little.
In some ways, Romania may actually be slightly disappointed because the French were so bad that had they shown any adventure whatsoever they may well have taken all three points rath…
Saturday s 4-1 over Augsburg confirmed Bayern Munich s status as Bundesliga champions for a sixth season in succession.
Bayern have won the title at a canter their glory was secured with five matches still to play. Success has looked a formality for a long time, with Jupp Heynckes whipping the side into shape.
But at the start of the season there were few indications the campaign would go as it has, as Borussia Dortmund sat at the top of the pile while Bayern looked sluggish and fell behind.
Yet here we are at the start of April, with Bayern and Heynckes lifting the trophy while soaked in Paulaner.
However, that does not tell the whole story of how Bayern cruised to a 28th Bundesliga title.

Week 15 in the NFL has a pair of Monday games after the matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders was pushed back from its originally scheduled slot on Saturday.
With the Browns lineup decimated by a COVID-19 outbreak, the league was hoping the extra two days would give Cleveland enough time to get back some depth. However, with only a few players cleared to come back for this 5:00 p.m. ET kickoff, sportsbooks have been reluctant to post Browns player props.
That said, there are several tempting Raiders props on the NFL betting board which is where we’re putting our money in our free player props and predictions for the Raiders vs. Browns on Monday, December 20.
