Coming out of the bye, the Kansas City Chiefs are big double-digit favorites entering Sunday night vs. the Tennessee Titans, who might not have some key pieces on defense.
With the game script favoring the Kansas City rushing game and Isiah Pacheco’s rushing total inflating, is the best bet on the running back who has been the favorite in the red zone?
Check out my best NFL prop picks for Sunday Night Football’s Week 9 matchup between the Titans and Chiefs.

The Dallas Cowboys put their five-game winning streak on the line Sunday at Highmark Stadium vs. a Buffalo Bills team that sits a slight 2-point NFL odds favorite and is coming off a pair of solid-showing road games vs. the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
The Cowboys’ offense has been blessed with some comfortable passing conditions this year, but even with decent Buffalo weather, this will be the worst spot for them of the season. With the hype a little too loud, is Week 15 the time to fade Dak and the Cowboys?
I break down the Week 15 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for Cowboys vs. Bills on December 17.

NFL bettors will want to treat the Buffalo Bills like a carton of milk one day after its expiration date: It’s probably still good but give it a cautionary sniff before consuming.
The Bills once again came up short of their Super Bowl dreams in 2023, getting bounced by the Kansas City Chiefs for the third time in the past four postseasons. And while Kansas City and other AFC contenders like Baltimore and Cincinnati stand strong in 2024, my NFL picks are not bullish on the Bills.
There are notable departures on both sides of the ball, including a new-look offense and a revamped receiving corps. The defense is also down bodies and may not have the same bite that changed games last season. But Josh Allen is still at quarterback and that keeps the Bill…
(GSM) Andres Iniesta has extended his contract with Barcelona until 2015. If any other club wants to take him away before that date, they will have to pay a € 200 million clause.
Iniesta is a product of Barca s youth academy and has never played for another club. The 25-year-old Spain international has already played 190 matches for the Catalans, in which he scored sixteen goals.
Iniesta s contract extension comes after many other players including Victor Valdés, Carles Puyol, Xavi and recently Eric Abidal have seen their contracts revised. Barcelona is expected to open talks over a contract extension with Gerard Pique and Rafael Marquez in the near future.

Nathan Ake says the Netherlands are very close to achieveing their dream ahead of their Euro 2024 semi-final with England.
The Netherlands had to come from behind to beat Turkiye 2-1 on Saturday night thanks to a header from Stefan de Vrij and Mert Muldur s own goal in Berlin.
That triumph set up a semi-final clash with England in Dortmund next Wednesday.
And Ake is relishing the opportunity of facing several of his Manchester City team-mates, saying the Oranje are within touching distance of securing a first major international honour since 1988.
I’m looking forward to it. There’s a lot of players I know from the Premier League, said Ake.
We know their individual qualities and it’s a semi-final so it will be tough. We’re building mom…
Tottenham Hotspur are coming off from their best league finish since 1963 after ending the season in runners-up spot behind champions Chelsea.
Having gone one place up to their Premier league finish two seasons ago, Tottenham now dream of domestic success and there are few that could argue that Spurs will be proper title candidates.
In order to celebrate the season behind them, Spurs have published a nice little video on their Instagram account presenting their top 5 skills last year.
Any favourites?

Euro 2008 chief organiser Martin Kallen said Tuesday he was confident that Poland and Ukraine would be ready to stage the event without a hitch in 2012.
Both countries have been under pressure to deliver amid fears that they are lagging behind with logistical and infrastructural preparations, but Kallen, a Swiss, said he was not worried.
We were in the two countries at the start of July under UEFA president Michel Platini and it was a good trip, Kallen said.
Two weeks ago Poland s Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his Ukrainian counterpart Yulia Timoshenko pledged their countries will be ready, UEFA having chosen the neighbours as co-hosts for the quadrennial, 16-nation championships.
The choice raised eyebrows because neither the Poles nor Ukrainians …
This bizarre and altered NFL week has been great thus far, jammed with daily football action and tons of betting opportunities. The action doesn’t slow down anytime soon, with 15 games scheduled from Saturday through Monday.
Amid much pandemic uncertainty, here’s a look at my favorite spreads player props and totals I’ll be targeting in Week 16.

The New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys are always good for a game with juicy storylines, and this Thanksgiving Day matchup is like a perfectly-cooked turkey.
The Giants are 7-3 but just took arguably their worst loss of the season to the Detroit Lions. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are fresh off perhaps the most impressive win by any team this year, a 40-3 thumping of the Minnesota Vikings on the road. Odell Beckham Jr. is apparently interested in signing with both teams — perhaps this game will be an audition for his services.
This holiday affair is must-see TV, and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott goes a long way in making that so. But I’m a bit bearish as to just how much he’ll stuff the stat sheet in this one, and my prop wagering stra…
