Examining NFL Key Numbers for the 2024/25 Season

NOTE: Since the NFL added a 17th regular season game for the 2021 season, we’ve adjusted all metric totals involving the 2021 season down to a 16-game total.

For years, the NFL key numbers of three and seven have gotten sacred treatment from bettors. And while they remain essential spread-betting numbers, they aren’t as important as they used to be.

A pitiful state of affairs that often leads to painful introspection

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF INFAMY

Earlier on Tuesday afternoon, The Fiver finally stopped emitting the peals of loud, rich, booming, theatrical, industrial-strength laughter that began when Juventus got themselves knocked out of Big Cup during the week in which the brains of their operation, Andrea Agnelli, revealed plans to reconfigure the very same tournament in ways designed to benefit certain badly-run behemoths. The continuous seven-day guffaw marathon came at a heavy cost to The Fiver, who dislodged two items in its special area, and is now sitting in a tepid puddle. But, on balance, it was still worth it. One hundred million euros for that, yet further away from the dream than ever. What a business!

2017 Africa Cup of Nations: Outright Odds & Live Streaming

The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off on Saturday, 14 January in Gabon as hosts take on Guinea Bissau, and the 31st edition of the continental tournament promises premium excitement.

Riyad Mahrez, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sadio Mane are just some of the star players who will be looking to lead their respective national teams to glory, but it is holders Ivory Coast that have been made .

They are followed by perennial underachievers Senegal (5/1), Algeria (7/1), hosts Gabon (8/1) and Cameroon, Egypt and Ghana (all priced at 10/1).

The top goalscorer chase should prove quite interesting as well, with Gabon’s own Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading the betting at 11/2.

Prediction: USA vs Brazil

Best odds: 11/25

Bookmaker:

The USA will wrap up their preparations for hosting the 2024 Copa America by welcoming South American heavyweights Brazil to Camping World Stadium in Florida on Thursday.

This encounter marks the first meeting between the two nations since September 2018, when the Selecao secured a 2-0 friendly victory with goals from Roberto Firmino and Neymar.

Gregg Berhalter began his tenure as USA head coach positively after taking over in August 2023, leading his team to victory in four of his first five matches and netting 15 goals in the process.

However, the Stars and Stripes have experienced a downturn, losing three of their last five games across all competitions. Their preparations for hosting the 2024 Copa America were deal…

Pique: I nearly quit football in 2014

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has revealed that he came close to walking away from football two years ago.

The Catalans endured a difficult campaign in 2013-14, finishing second in LaLiga to Atletico Madrid, who also knocked them out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage.

A 2-1 defeat in the Copa del Rey final to Real Madrid had preceded their league disappointment, and head coach Gerardo Martino soon departed after less than a year in charge.

Pique s World Cup campaign in Brazil fared little better, as Spain were dumped out during the group stage following a 5-1 thrashing by Netherlands and a 2-0 loss to Chile.

And the 29-year-old has admitted that he nearly called time on his playing career as he felt that his passion for the sport had eb…

Makoun: Cameroon have learned from 2010

Jean Makoun is confident Cameroon have learned from the 2010 FIFA World Cup as they plot a path to the knockout stages in Brazil.

Four years ago the midfielder was part of a squad that failed to collect a single point from their group matches.

Makoun, who featured in all three games in South Africa, is convinced there is a better atmosphere in the current Cameroon party.

He is therefore optimistic they can escape from a group featuring hosts Brazil, Croatia and Mexico.

What happened in South Africa should not happen again, Makoun is quoted as saying in L Equipe. I think all who were there and will play at the World Cup in Brazil have gained experience and maturity.

We have had four more years. There is a lot of serenity and solidarity in the squad.

Patience is a virtue, so they say.

A.J. Brown TNF Spotlight: Player Props for Thursday Night Football Week 9

Let’s just get this out of the way: the Week 9 schedule’s opener is expected by everybody and their dog (and cat, parakeet, mongoose, and whatever other domesticated pet) to be an absolute blowout.

The undefeated Eagles are laying two touchdowns against the lowly Houston Texans. We’re all betting Philly and we’re all hittings the Overs on TNF player props for the skill position players. The question, however, is “what to put the TNF spotlight on?”

Let’s answer in jeopardy form (because why not?): What is… A.J. Brown props?

Philadelphia’s No. 1 pass catcher has been one of the league’s top wide receivers this year, and he’s got a juicy-as-steak matchup and NFL player prop lines that seem questionably low.

So, my free Eagles vs. Texans picks…
