Jadon Sancho
An England international who has never played in English football, Sancho will garner plenty of attention at Manchester United this season – and rightly so.
Since the start of the 2018-19 season, Sancho has the joint-most goal involvements among English players in Europe s top five leagues, his 78 matched by Three Lions capt…
Nathan Dyer continued his early-season goalscoring form as Swansea City defeated Everton 3-0 in the League Cup third round on Tuesday.
The diminutive winger had netted three Premier League goals in five games coming into this clash at the Liberty Stadium, and he made it four for the campaign with a composed strike in the first half.
Gylfi Sigurdsson then added a second after the interval as he reacted first to Sylvain Distin s wayward header coming back off the crossbar before substitute Marvin Emnes fired in a third with three minutes remaining.
Roberto Martinez, a former player and manager at Swansea, was unable to inspire his Everton side to a second-half comeback as they fell to back-to-back defeats following Sunday s surprise 3-2 home reverse at the hands of…

In the first meeting since last season’s NFC Championship game, the San Francisco 49ers host the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium as slight 1.5-point home favorites.
The 49ers only managed 50 plays in that game and are the slowest team in terms of pace of play so far this season when it comes to neutral situations. With left tackle Trent Williams out, is there much hope for the 49ers’ offense as they face the No. 1 defense in EPA/rush?

In Week 3, I was the one that was teased as my top teaser leg selection — the Baltimore Ravens — failed to take advantage of several opportunities to beat the Colts and take care of business.

It’s always darkest before dawn, and the Washington Commanders’ 4-13 (6-10-1 ATS) finish to 2023 was pretty damn dark.
Year 2 under new ownership sees cracks of sunlight on the horizon with a three-point restoration for 2024; new GM, new coaches, and new quarterback.
Head coach Dan Quinn injects Washington’s defense with a strong dose of chaos after making Dallas one of the most disruptive defenses in the league. On the other side of the ball, Kliff Kingsbury is tasked with molding another top QB prospect in Jayden Daniels, utilizing the Heisman winner’s dual-threat skill set in his up-tempo attack.
