The Minnesota Vikings began their 2023 season with a disappointing home loss against the presumed bottom-of-the-barrel Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They now will be forced to travel on a short week for a Thursday Night Football matchup against Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, who narrowly came away with a win on Sunday after a flat offensive performance vs. the New England Patriots. The Eagles are favored by nearly a touchdown in the game that will kick off the NFL Week 2 odds.
Can Hurts put together a performance tonight more in line with the MVP-esque performances of last year, or will the offensive struggles continue?

After a rocky start to his NFL career, Caleb Williams has shown glimpses of brilliance and has his team riding a two-game winning streak into London.
While the opposition has been to London 12 times, my Jaguars vs. Bears predictions and NFL picks don’t believe the familiarity will help the Jaguars on Sunday, October 13.

My analysis
The Jacksonville Jaguars began the year with four straight losses before beating the Colts last week. Trevor Lawrence is coming off his best game of the year but he struggled mightily through the first four weeks, ranking 30th out…
In what was the first Premier League contest of 2022, Arsenal and Manchester City certainly didn t disappoint in what turned out to be a real thriller at the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime.
While the Gunners might have taken a more than deserved 1-0 lead heading into the half-time break, it was Pep Guardiola s defending champions who eventually snatched a last-gasp 2-1 victory in north London.
Briefly extending their buffer at the top of the table to double digits, the Sky Blues will undoubtedly look back on Saturday s result if they re able to make it back-to-back Premier League titles this season.
In a meeting that saw huge controversy at both ends of the Emirates pitch, we have taken a look at the key talking points.
City show all of their resolve

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has warned that he will be even better in 2014 after his superb hat-trick in the Coupe de France on Wednesday.
Sweden international Ibrahimovic fired home his first goals of the year against Ligue 2 side Brest in a 5-2 win for PSG, with Thiago Motta and Ezequiel Lavezzi also finding the net in a comfortable victory.
Ibrahimovic enjoyed a stellar 2013 as he helped PSG to their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years, while also becoming the first man since 1990 to score 30 league goals in a season in the 2012-13 campaign.
The 32-year-old s treble at Brest saw him move 26 goals for the current season, and the former Milan and Barcelona man is confident of producing further strong performances.
I hope to improve my game and become even better in 2014, he …
Ronald Koeman said VAR has broken football after the Netherlands suffered Euro 2024 heartbreak against England in Wednesday s semi-final.
The Oranje looked to be on course for a final meeting with Spain when Xavi Simons fired home after seven minutes, but England levelled through Harry Kane s 18th-minute penalty before Ollie Watkins stepped off the bench to net a 90th-minute winner.
The penalty decision that led to Kane s leveller was a controversial one, with the England captain caught by Denzel Dumfries high boot having already got his shot off.
Referee Felix Zwayer awarded the spot-kick after being sent to the pitchside monitor, leaving Koeman to rail against VAR s impact.
In my opinion it should not have been a penalty, said Koeman.
He [Kane…
New Year s resolutions are easy to set but far less easy to keep.
But in order to enjoy a prosperous 2023, it will be vital for some to change their ways in the 12 months ahead.
That does not apply to everyone, and Premier League champions Manchester City will be sitting comfortably, even with ground to make up in the title race.
For those hoping to match Pep Guardiola s men, however, Stats Perform has identified some goals for 2023
Save more money – Manchester United
The January sales make it difficult to save at this time of year, and Erik ten Hag has already outlined his desire to see a new striker brought in before the end of the month.
But if United reflect on past years, they might acknowledge that simply spending huge amounts …
AS Monaco returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion, thrashing Montpellier 6-2 at the Stade Louis II on Friday night to go second in the French Ligue 1 table after 10 games.
Leonardo Jardim’s men have been full of goals this season, looking a much more convincing side with a 70% win ratio, compared to the draw-heavy season they’re coming off the back of.
Monaco’s transformation from a defensive side to uber-attacking outfit in three seasons
In Leonardo Jardim first season at Monaco (2014/15), the side utilised a counter-attacking style, keeping a tight defensive record and modest goals for tally. Monaco weren’t dominating games, but they were hard to break down and made the most of slender leads due to their resilience at the back. Such a sty…
Michael Carrick has revealed how losing the 2009 Champions League final with Manchester United led to him suffering from depression.
United, then the defending European champions, were beaten 2-0 by Barcelona in Rome as they missed out on becoming the first team to defend the trophy in its modern format.
Carrick lost possession in the build-up to Samuel Eto o s opening goal 10 minutes in, which came after United had started as the dominant force, before Lionel Messi s second-half header secured the victory.
The former midfielder has now opened up on his struggle to cope with that disappointment for the majority of the next two years.
It was the biggest low of my career by quite some way and I don t really know why, Carrick told The Times. I thought I d l…
