Houston Texans Odds, Predictions & Season Preview for 2024: Sophomore Stroud Makes Noise

The Houston Texans were one of the biggest surprises in the NFL last season, and surprises usually pan out to point-spread profits. That wasn’t the case in Houston.

While the Texans’ about-face from three wins in 2022 to 10 in 2023 was as subtle as a Brazilian wax job, it barely made a blip at the sportsbook, with Houston finishing the regular season 9-8 against the spread. 

That’s life in the AFC South.

The Texans quickly became the class of the division, despite starting a rookie at quarterback. C.J. Stroud’s immediate effectiveness boosted Houston past a broken Colts team, a Titans squad in transition, and the underperforming Jaguars.

After entering 2023 as a favorite in only three look-ahead lines (and closing as …

Michael Carrick sets consistency as gold standard for Manchester United

The statue of Manchester United’s Holy Trinity is a feature of the Old Trafford landscape. For a club increasingly burdened by unflattering comparisons to their past, while invariably generating more, the spectre of an unholy trilogy looms larger. Forget Best, Law and Charlton, this threatens to be an autumn to rank among their worst.

Sunday brings a third meeting with title contenders, their supposed peers, and the first two amounted to humiliations. United kick off at Stamford Bridge 12 points behind Chelsea and after conceding more than five times as many goals. Liverpool scored five of them, Manchester City a mere two, but neither bothered to add to their tally in the final 40 minutes as they seemed to declare against vanquished oppone…

Stingy El Salvador hold USA to scoreless draw in World Cup qualifying opener

The United States showed promise but no ability to finish in its pandemic-delayed World Cup qualifying opener, drawing 0-0 at El Salvador on Thursday night in the type of Central American stadium that repeatedly has stymied the Americans.

Both teams created few chances before a boisterious yet polite sellout crowd of about 30,000 that started filling Monumental Estadio Cuscatlán, Central America’s largest, about eight and a half hours before kickoff.

Why the USMNT’s road to the World Cup looks clear after years of toilRead more

The US, trying to rebound from their failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, failed to win their sixth straight road qualifier dating to 2016 (two losses, four draws).

‘This is my club’: Frank Lampard returns to Chelsea as caretaker manager

Frank Lampard said the chance of a sensational return to Chelsea as caretaker manager had come out of the blue, but he would not rule out taking the role on a longer-term basis.

Boehly has to find a new star for latest episode of Chelsea sitcom | Jonathan WilsonRead more

Lampard will hold the fort at Stamford Bridge for the rest of this season while the club assess potential longer-term successors to Graham Potter, who include Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique. Only 26 months have passed since he was sacked by Chelsea’s previous regime and, having departed his most recent post at Everton in January, the prospect of a call from his old club may have appeared far-fetched.

But the 44-year-old is back with the brief t…

Liverpool Feds’ plight a warning of trouble in women’s football pyramid

In harsh contrast to the upcoming England vGermany fixture at Wembley, the ever-nearer possibility of the first million-pound transfer fee, and the six-figure salaries some players enjoy at the top of the Women’s Super League, the news earlier this month that the entire coaching staff and several players of the women’s team at fourth-tier Solihull Moors had resigned over alleged neglect of the team’s entire programme served as an important reminder that all is not as rosy as it may seem in the English women’s football pyramid.

Last weekend’s headline WSL fixture between Arsenal and Chelsea attracted a crowd of 45,860 and was broadcast live on BBC One, but that will have felt a world away for a club such as Liverpool Feds, who are p…

Chargers coach Brandon Staley is beginning to feel the pressure after 0-2 start

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley is in a rough spot. Staley’s crew lost another close game Sunday, and following the loss, he let reporters have it over the continuing narrative that the team’s playoff loss to Jacksonville in January has carried over into this season. Whether that’s the case or not, Coach Watch 2023 is officially on, and Staley is among the frontrunners to get axed during the season. Staley has yet to prove that anonymous executive wrong who called him a “really bad coach with a great roster.” “I’m not worried about the Jacksonville loss,” Staley said. “The Jacksonville loss hasn’t carried on to this season whatsoever. If you’ve seen our training camp, or you’ve seen the way we’ve played in the first two games, it hasn’t had an…

The "My Little Pony Convention 2013 Highlights" Video Is Amazing

What can we say about this video, other than it comes to us via several of our dearest commenters? It is so utterly bizarre, sad, funny, and horrifying that you will either immediately look away or watch it 25 times in a row. The GIF at the top is our favorite moment. But here are some more!

The Good Little Teams (And Chelsea): Our 2017-18 Premier League Preview, Pt. 3

As everyone knows, the best thing about the Premier League is its absurd depth. In England you have an entire country where practically every single town worships their local club with an intensity that makes Nebraska’s passion for Cornhusker football look like Nebraska’s passion for Cornhusker soccer. Because there are so many limey bastards who live and die with the sport they created, and because the ancestors of those limey, soccer-mad bastards conquered much of the known world and exported the sport they created, and because of the insatiable interest both domestic and global in these limey bastards’ home league, the Premier League is the biggest, most famous, most valuable soccer league in the world. All of which explains the unfathomable amount of money that pours into the EP…
