The Netherlands have been officially confirmed as hosts for the 2023 Nations League Finals.
The Oranje were widely expected to welcome their rivals to face them on home soil, as only them and Group A4 opponents Belgium, Poland and Wales expressed an interest in staging the knockout finale.
Having seen off the trio to qualify as group winners, the Netherlands will now welcome Croatia, Italy and Spain next year for the climax to the 2022-23 edition.
In the absence of the Johan Cruyff Arena and Philips Stadion due to concerts, the matches will be played instead at Feyenoord s De Kuip and De Grolsch Veste the home of FC Twente.
The tournament commences with the semi-finals on June 14 and June 15, while the final and third-place play-off will take place on Jun…
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta revealed he wanted to bring Granit Xhaka to Manchester City in 2016 as the new boss talked up the former Gunners captain s future at Emirates Stadium.
Xhaka has been linked with a move away from Arsenal following a turbulent season in London, which saw the midfielder stripped of the armband under Unai Emery after reacting angrily to his substitution during a Premier League clash against Crystal Palace in October.
After a falling out with some of Arsenal s fans, former Borussia Monchengladbach star Xhaka has found himself back in the fold amid links to Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin.
Arteta, though, has no intention of parting with Xhaka, who was a potential transfer target for Pep Guardiola and City prior to the Switzerland intern…
This is one of the biggest games of the season and sees Struggling Liverpool entertain the brilliant but inconsistent Arsenal.
Liverpool have made a poor start to the season and really need a good performance to reward their great fan base after a torrid time this season. Occupying a lowly seventh place in the league, and having already crashed out of the Champions league, so far it;s not a season to remember for Reds fans. Much has been down to injuries to star players Gerrard and Torres, and the lack of players available to fill their boots. David Ngog has battled willfullly up front for Liverpool in Torres absence, and is expected to do so again this weekend. A liverpool team with local hero Steven Gerrard in the team is always difficult to beat and he will want a victory ov…
The Mike White bandwagon has gone off the cliff as the New York Jets will start Joe Flacco in their home meeting versus the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa will also get the start for the Dolphins after replacing an injured Jacoby Brissett in Week 10. Despite the appointment of Flacco, the Dolphins are still 3-point road favorites.
Here are our free picks and predictions and NFL betting odds for Dolphins vs. Jets for Sunday, November 21.

Jimmy Garappolo and the 49ers travel to altitude Sunday night to take on the Denver Broncos as slight -1.5 favorites and a total of 44. Melvin Gordon’s role is changing, the Denver offense is missing some key pass-catchers, and it’s Wilson’s backfield in Week 3.
Here are my free NFL player prop picks for Sunday Night Football between the 49ers and Broncos.

The first game on the Monday Night Football odds slate will take place in Charlotte as the Carolina Panthers look to avenge a Week 1 loss to the Falcons by taking on the 1-0 New Orleans Saints in Week 2.
This one should be rather intriguing given it’ll mark just the second game that No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young has played in his young career, but the pressure will certainly be on given his lackluster numbers in Week 1 and the team’s performance as a whole.
Don’t forget to look at our full Saints vs. Panthers predictions, as well as our MNF prop picks column, before digging into my best NFL picks.

While Thanksgiving Day has always been known for its classic football games, Black Friday is getting in on the Week 12 odds action. After a trio of games on Thursday, Amazon Prime has the Miami Dolphins as heavy NFL odds favorites against the New York Jets at Metlife Stadium this afternoon.
The Dolphins are 2-2 in their last four games after starting 6-1 — granted, those losses came in Philadelphia and against the Chiefs. Meanwhile, the Jets have lost three straight and will be turning to Tim Boyle with the team sitting at 4-6.
So, after you’re done getting your Black Friday deals, settle in to (hopefully) make some of that money back on some free NFL picks. Here are my prop picks for Tua Tagovailoa odds in Dolphins vs. Jets on November 24.
Travis Kelce’s production in his postseason career has been legendary. Over his last dozen playoff games, he’s averaging nearly 100 yards and more than a touchdown, and everyone in North America is privy to that information ever since he became a household name thanks to Taylor Swift’s presence.
However, these are things priced into the Super Bowl odds, and with his reception total jumping a full catch and paying solid plus money to the Under, is it time to buy some Under shares for the most bet-on player in Super Bowl 58?
After taking a look at Travis Kelce odds, these are my favorite Super Bowl picks surrounding the Chiefs tight end come February 11.

While the majority of the headlines will be Drake Maye making his first career NFL start, my Texans vs. Patriots predictions focus on the next man up for Houston in the wake of Nico Collins’ IR stint.
Find out why my NFL picks have tabbed Stefon Diggs for a big receiving game on Sunday, October 13.
Texans vs Patriots prediction
My best betStefon Diggs Over 64.5 receiving yards (-110 at BetMGM)
My analysis
Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs has cleared this benchmark in three straight games while piling up 21 receptions for 245 yards on 29 targets. His 25.2% target share per route run and 72.4% catch rate are excellent ratios during the run, and the New England Patriots aren’t an intimidating opponent.

After IWGP United States champion Kenny Omega dispatched with challenger Beretta in the semi-main event at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s “Power Struggle” event on Sunday in Osaka, the Edion Arena darkened and the venue’s big video screen lit up. On that screen, Omega and the fans in attendance saw a video sent in by Chris Jericho challenging him to a match on January 4th at Wrestle Kingdom, NJPW’s equivalent to WrestleMania, at the Tokyo Dome. This wasn’t exactly a surprise, as Jericho had been throwing social media jabs by way of promoting a wrestling fan cruise featuring talent from NJPW’s U.S. affiliate Ring of Honor. A match of some kind seemed inevitable, although it seemed likelier to be something scaled for the cruise. Jericho wrestling at NJPW’s biggest show of the y…
