While might have relinquished their La Liga crown during the 2022/23 campaign as they eventually fell 10 points adrift of El Clasico rivals Barcelona, Los Blancos came roaring back in a sensational fashion last season.

Making more domestic history as they got their hands on a 36th La Liga title, ’s superstar squad once again tore up the record books.

Crowned Champions League winners on June 1st following a against German giants Borussia Dortmund at Wembley, Real Madrid further cemented their spot as Europe’s ultimate poster boys.

Remarkably suffering just a single defeat from any of their 38 La Liga appearances last season, the former AC Milan boss has his sights firmly set on making more history.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is 28 years old today.

Here s his goal that won the Ferenc Puskas Award in 2017/18, scored in a brilliant manner in the Merseyside Derby. The Egyptian beat two opponents and got his shot past the third and into the very top corner, with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford unable to do anything about it.

Week 5 is upon us and at this point, surprisingly, we only have one undefeated team remaining. That team happens to be the Arizona Cardinals, who have outscored opponents 140-85. Although they are in a good spot to keep their undefeated streak alive at home, there are other wagers I’m targeting in Week 5. 

Take a look at my favorite Week 5 NFL parlay picks, below.

The first taste of NFL preseason kicks off Thursday night as the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders will meet in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.

Neither team is expected to play many starters, and we’ve already seen some sharp money drop the total significantly. However, even with Trevor Lawrence not playing and backup C.J. Beathard out (groin), do the Jaguars still have some underappreciated talent at quarterback in Jake Luton and Kyle Sloter?

Isiah Pacheco is coming off his highest-usage game of the season vs. the Bengals, and his role likely won’t diminish with an ineffective Jerick McKinnon. That leaves the rookie in line for another big day in the passing game come Sunday, with Super Bowl odds reflecting as much.

The Los Angeles Rams are still is search of their first win of 2024 as they host the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium in Week 3. 

Although Christian McCaffrey remains out for the defending NFC champs, my 49ers vs. Rams predictions and NFL picks are bullish on Jordan Mason as San Francisco’s temporary lead tailback on Sunday, September 22.

49ers vs Rams prediction

My best betJordan Mason longest rush Over 17.5 yards (-125 at BetMGM)

My analysis

The San Francisco 49ers are hurting pretty bad right now on offense. Christian McCaffery is on injured reserve, Deebo Samuel is out with a calf injury, and George Kittle is doubtful for Sunday’s game.

Luckily, running back …

“Wigan scored seven in the first half against Hull last week. Is this a record in a professional domestic league game?” asks George Jones.

Wigan’s extraordinary romp had everyone scrambling round the memory bank and/or the nearest Rothmans. The ambiguity of the above question meant a few of you sent in examples of crazy scoring in the second half of games, so let’s deal with those first.

“Brighton beat Walsall 7-0 in 1976, having been goalless at half-time,” notes Roger Kay. “Peter Ward got four and Ian ‘Spider’ Mellor three. It was a little ironic as we’d been royally whupped by Walsall 6-0 only two years previously.”

IT’S BIG VASE FINAL, BABY

The idea of the Pope’s O’Rangers playing in a Big Vase final seemed utterly absurd as recently as five years ago. Having just seen his team knocked out of the qualifiers by Progrès Niederkorn, the fourth best team in Luxembourg, the then-O’Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha was subsequently seen remonstrating with angry fans while standing in a bush, a state of affairs that correctly suggested his reign was doomed a month before the fitba season proper had even started. How things change.

On Wednesday night in Seville, O’Rangers will line up against Eintracht Frankfurt for the final of this season’s competition, one in which they’ve already knocked o…
