Do you need to be a chef to know what tastes delicious? Do you need to be a composer to enjoy music? Do you need to be a survivor pool expert to give weekly survivor pool advice? Ahh… don’t answer that last one.
As I stated three months ago back in Week 1, I am no survivor pool expert and 2021 was my first dip in the pool in more than a decade. Along the way, I’ve provided some valuable insights into which teams you should and shouldn’t count on for your weekly NFL survivor picks. And I’ve always led poolies to their doom. Week 12 was a doom week, with every bit of info going sideways.
Honestly, if you’re still searching for NFL survivor pools picks in December, you might get a call to write this weekly report next season. …
Two weeks ago we were rollin’ with Mahomes. Last week we chilled with Joe Brrr. This week we get to look at… Matt Ryan props. Welcome to Week 5.
This would have been a fun expedition if it were, say, 2016 — but it’s 2022 and things have been rather ugly for Ryan in his first season with the Colts, getting out to a 1-2-1 record.
My free NFL player props this week don’t foresee life getting any easier against a scary Denver Broncos defense, as my Thursday Night Football picks are all centered around Matty Ice melting under the pressure.

As long as Sean McVay is bringing sexy back to the sideline, the Los Angeles Rams have a chance.
The Rams head coach entered 2023 as a point spread favorite in only two games, according to last year’s look-ahead lines, and walked out with 10 wins, a playoff appearance, and an 11-6-1 ATS record.
The expectations are greater in 2024. Los Angeles has a win total of 8.5 with the Over juiced and is a fave in 11 of 17 games, though six of those spreads have L.A. laying a field goal or less.
San Francisco is still the big bad wolf in the NFC West but another postseason showing is in the cards, given the Rams’ place in the betting markets and the effectiveness of McVay’s offense.

Sarina Wiegman was left rueing a “really disappointing” and “unnecessary” defeat to France as England’s hopes of automatic qualification for Euro 2025 in Switzerland were left very much in the balance.
“I think our performance was good for most parts of the game,” said the Lionesses manager after her side succumbed 2-1, conceding two goals from corners. The result is really disappointing and I think unnecessary.”

France are world champions for the second time after winning a scintillating final against Croatia that epitomised a tournament packed with drama, goals, glory and heartache.
Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann both took their World Cup goal tallies to four with strikes in the Moscow showpiece, while Paul Pogba scored his only goal of the 2018 competition and Mario Mandzukic put through his own net to make France the first team to score four in a final since Brazil in 1970.
Didier Deschamps men won all but one of their seven matches en route to lifting the game s most coveted trophy for the first time in 20 years, scoring 14 goals and conceding six, while Croatia claimed the unwanted record of being the first team in 44 years to lose in their first World Cup final.

(GSM) David Beckham is expected to play on after this summer s World Cup despite claims to the contrary which suggest he is ready to retire.
The former England captain will turn 35 next month, and has spoken of his desire to continue playing for his country beyond South Africa 2010.
The reports have suggested Beckham wants to come back to the United Kingdom and spend more time with wife Victoria and children Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, having achieved everything he wants to in the game.
But the source close to Beckham said: It is nonsense.
Beckham, who plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer, is currently two games into another short loan period at AC Milan and is due to face Siena tomorrow.
Already, the midfielder has made such a …
Marco Verratti ended his Euro 2020 campaign as he started it – looking on as a frustrated spectator, willing his team-mates to victory.
Those do not exactly sound like the activities of a player of the tournament candidate, but what Verratti did in between those moments of stasis did more to define Italy s march to glory than anything else.
Gianluigi Donnarumma denied Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka from 12 yards after Marcus Rashford hit the post to hand Italy a 3-2 victory on penalties after a 1-1 draw with England at Wembley in Sunday s final.
Those heroics led to UEFA giving the Azzurri goalkeeper their Player of the Tournament award, but there is undoubtedly a case for recognising Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Verratti as the key influence upon Roberto Manc…
Jorginho has been crowned UEFA Men s Player of the Year for the 2020-21 campaign following a stellar year for club and country.
The 29-year-old helped Chelsea to Champions League success in May and followed that up by winning Euro 2020 with Italy six weeks later.
He started every game for Italy and missed just one match for the Blues in their run to continental glory as he became the 10th player to win both competitions in the same year.
Former Napoli midfielder Jorginho edged out Chelsea team-mate N Golo Kante and Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne for the award at Thursday s ceremony in Istanbul.
It is the first time in the award s 11-year history that the top three was comprised exclusively of midfielders.
