Hugo Lloris will almost certainly miss the rest of 2019 due to an elbow injury, according to France head coach Didier Deschamps.
The Tottenham goalkeeper dislocated his elbow after landing awkwardly during his side s 3-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Spurs have not yet offered an indication on his recovery time, but Deschamps expects Lloris to be out of action until the new year due to ligament damage.
I talked to him after he recovered emotionally from what happened, Deschamps told a news conference. We talked again [on Monday] and had more medical examinations.
It is difficult to give you an exact date in terms of how long he ll need to recover. The possibility of a fracture has been ruled out, but his ligaments are af…

Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns are coming off successful seasons that finished with a sour taste in their mouths.
Kansas City got absolutely waxed in the Super Bowl, while Cleveland actually made the playoffs but was eliminated by these Chiefs… with backup QB Chad Henne.

Usually, a season-ending matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles would bring lots of drama with it. But the Cowboys have already clinched the NFC East while the Eagles have secured a wild card berth — with little more to gain for either side in the regular season.
So, who has more to play for in the first-ever NFL Week 18 matchup between these division rivals, and who will have the edge when it comes to covering the NFL betting spread?

The NFL’s Christmas Day triple-header comes to a close with a showdown on Sunday Night Football between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium.
This is obviously not the season 45-year-old Tom Brady had mapped out in training camp, but the Buccaneers still have the inside track to an NFC South title. Tampa Bay has been relying heavily on Brady’s arm, and this Christmas clash with the Cardinals should be no different.
Here are my three favorite Tom Brady props for December 25. Be sure to also check out Josh Inglis’ SNF player props, as well as Jason Logan’s full-game SNF betting preview!

After almost knocking off the Chiefs in prime time last week, Zach Wilson and the New York Jets head to altitude to take on the Denver Broncos, who just gave up career-high numbers to Justin Fields last week before making a miraculous comeback. The home side has climbed to a 2.5-point favorite in the NFL odds with a total that is also heading north after sitting as low as 40 on the look-ahead.
With some confidence coming off a solid performance vs. the Chiefs and facing arguably the worst defense in football, should bettors be backing Wilson for a second straight profitable week?
Here are my free NFL picks and predictions for this Week 5 matchup of Jets vs. Broncos on October 8.

A “Battle of the Birds” brings NFL Week 2 betting to an end when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football.
Philly put its poor finish to 2023 behind it with a big win over Green Bay in Brazil last Friday. Atlanta, however, fell flat in its Week 1 debut with expensive addition, QB Kirk Cousins, looking more like $18 than $180 million.
My early Falcons vs. Eagles predictions and NFL picks expect Philly to fly high once again in Week 2.
