Chiefs vs Chargers Thursday Night Football Picks and Predictions: Bolts Test Chiefs in AFC West Clash

Patience is a virtue, so they say.

Week after week, Thursday Night Football has served up a conveyor belt of underwhelming matchups to bet on in 2021. Finally, to kick off Week 15, we get a genuinely exciting matchup as the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Los Angeles Chargers in a huge AFC West showdown.

The Chiefs have won six in a row and are road favorites by about a field goal, give or take. Kansas City hasn’t struck fear into the hearts of opponents as it once did, especially one like Justin Herbert, who has shone in prime time and has already beaten the Chiefs this season.

Check out our free NFL betting picks and predictions for Chiefs vs. Chargers on Thursday, December 16.

A.J. Brown TNF Spotlight: Player Props for Thursday Night Football Week 9

Let’s just get this out of the way: the Week 9 schedule’s opener is expected by everybody and their dog (and cat, parakeet, mongoose, and whatever other domesticated pet) to be an absolute blowout.

The undefeated Eagles are laying two touchdowns against the lowly Houston Texans. We’re all betting Philly and we’re all hittings the Overs on TNF player props for the skill position players. The question, however, is “what to put the TNF spotlight on?”

Let’s answer in jeopardy form (because why not?): What is… A.J. Brown props?

Philadelphia’s No. 1 pass catcher has been one of the league’s top wide receivers this year, and he’s got a juicy-as-steak matchup and NFL player prop lines that seem questionably low.

So, my free Eagles vs. Texans picks…

NFL Parlay Betting Tips and Strategies for the 2024 Season

NFL parlay betting is a guilty pleasure for football fans each Sunday, with bettors trying to win a lot by risking a little.

Parlay betting requires multiple bets to be strung together under one wager with the promise of a sizable payout. The challenge is that each of those parlay picks must be correct for the parlay to be a winner, and just one wrong selection will blow up your parlay bet.

Parlay betting NFL odds is riskier than single wagers, but while some consider them sucker bets, there is some NFL parlay betting strategy and tips to follow to help cash in those accumulators.

How does football parlay betting work?

A football parlay bet requires two or more picks and allows the bettor to place a single wager on those selectio…

San Jose Earthquakes v Real Salt Lake: Russell targets strong finish at home

Ian Russell says San Jose Earthquakes are determined to get a positive result in their final home game as they welcome Real Salt Lake to PayPal Park in MLS.

We re not hiding from that, and we want to give the fans something to be happy about in this last home game.

I can tell you that they will work hard and try to get t…

Euro 2008: Low needs to make changes

Germany have reliquinshed Euro 2008 favouritism after their 2-1 defeat to Group B winners Croatia and Joachim Low will have to make major changes if they re to have serious ambitions on lifting the trophy.

The pre-tournament favourites, who are now of 7 to win it, can still reach the quarter-finals with a draw against co-hosts Austria on Monday, but Low needs to switch his personnel or formation or even both once the knock-out phase arrives.

The Germans were beaten by a harder working and more creative Croatia outfit on Thursday and Low must address his team s failings ahead of a likely meeting with Portugal in the quarter-finals.

Low will have to alter a midfield who too often allowed Croatia players to run beyond them leaving Torsten F…

It’s Thanksgiving feast week. When it comes to gorging your holiday meal, do you attack the table quickly before all the good stuff is gone or do you pace yourself and save room for dessert at the end?
