Monday Night Football in Week 13 features a battle between a pair of sub-.500 teams as the New York Giants face the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

While it was expected to be another up-and-down season for the G-men, the Chiefs entered the season as the Super Bowl favorites but have gotten off to a rough start. Nonetheless, the Chiefs are big favorites for this contest, with NFL betting lines installing them as 9.5-point favorites.

Here are our best free Giants vs. Chiefs picks and predictions for Monday Night Football on November 1.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions were close to the hearts of NFL bettors this summer, but now force fans to choose when they clash in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season.

Philadelphia saw its NFL odds spike after a solid offseason, headlined by the addition of star receiver A.J. Brown and positive progress from quarterback Jalen Hurts, who looked good in camp and preseason play. 

Detroit gave football fans an inside look at life within the franchise, starring in HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series this summer. That public appeal — along with an 11-6 against the spread record in 2021 — has drummed up its share of wagers on its 2022 success.

Coming off a 1-2 week, I’m still up over 16 units on the season betting on plane breakers. Week 11 of the NFL season is here, and is offering possibly some of the best value of the entire season.

For Week 11 NFL odds, I’m banking on a bounce back from Kyler Murray and his favorite target, betting on a TD scorer in the game with the week’s lowest total, and trying to hit a moonshot for +1,600 in Jacksonville in my latest free NFL picks.

Austria on Monday reimposed frontier controls as part of a major security operation for the European football championships which start this week.

About 2,000 Austrian police and 143 foreign police were to carry out border checks until July 1, Interior Minister Gunther Platter said.

Austria is part of the Schengen zone in Europe which allows passport free travel between European Union members of the scheme. But the rules allow for restrictions to be reimposed for special events.

We want checks to be as fluid as possible, while stopping troublemakers, said the minister who added that authorities would also seek to prevent clandestine migrants creeping through.

Austria expects up to one million visitors for the tournament which starts June 7. Euro 2008…

Serge Gnabry has joined Hoffenheim on a one-year loan deal from Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champions have confirmed.

The former Arsenal winger, who turned 22 on Friday, joined Bayern from Werder Bremen last month for a fee believed to be in the region of €8million.

However, he will spend the first season of a three-year deal on loan at Hoffenheim, who are set to make their Champions League debut this term.

Gnabry impressed as part of Germany s victorious team at the European Under-21 Championship and his arrival offsets Hoffenheim s loss of Niklas Sule and Sebastian Rudy, both of whom begin their Bayern careers this season after securing moves back in January.

It was the explicit request from Serge to be loaned out for a year so he could get more ex…

Ilkay Gundogan said helping Barcelona financially made his departure from the club easier to swallow after he sealed a return to Manchester City on Friday.

Gundogan joined Barca last year after enjoying seven trophy-laden campaigns with City, winning 14 pieces of silverware during his time at the Etihad Stadium, including captaining the side to a Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup treble in 2022-23.

The midfielder made 51 appearances in his single season with the Catalan giants – more than any of his team-mates, scoring five goals and adding 14 assists in all competitions.

He also created more than twice as many chances (132) as any other Barcelona player, with Raphinha a distant second by that metric with 53.

Ninety-seven of those chances were…

Russia coach Guus Hiddink got the result he wanted to become a traitor in his native Holland after his team s 3-1 quarter-final win after extra-time dumped the Dutch out of Euro 2008.

The 61-year-old former Netherlands coach had said he would be happy to be a Dutch traitor if his Russian team beat his countrymen and two goals in extra time broke Dutch hearts on Saturday.

Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy had headed home an 86th minute equaliser to give the Dutch a life-line and take him alongside Johan Cruyff on 33 goals for the national side but super sub Dmitri Torbinsky grabbed a second in the 112th minute, before Andrei Arshavin settled it with a third on 116 minutes.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, this is the first time Russia have made th…

Axel Witsel wants Belgium to emulate the success in Russia four years ago as the Red Devils aim for World Cup glory in what could be the last tournament for their Golden Generation .

A team boasting the likes of Thibaut Courtois, Toby Alderweireld, Witsel, Kevin de Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku has been present for the past decade, significantly improving their fortunes.

Belgium reached the quarter-finals at Brazil 2014 and finished third four years later in Russia – a marked improvement after only passing the last-16 stage once in their first nine appearances (fourth in 1986).

Roberto Martinez s side lost to eventual champions France in Russia and Witsel hopes to recreate the 2018 showing, as the tournament in Qatar presents the last chance for many of…
