While the other 30 NHL teams have to endure five more days of pre-season, the San Jose Sharks and Nashville Predators have already played a game that will count in the record books. The puck dropped on the NHL’s regular season from the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic today with this Sharks vs Predators matchup. This marks the first of a two-game series between the Sharks and Predators, and the third of four events in this 2022 “NHL Global Series,” which will wrap up with the Colorado Avalanche against the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Nokia Arena in Tampere,…

Fantasy football Week 4 has gone by, and some of the biggest names in the NFL can’t seem to find their way off this list. It’s been a whacky, and altogether lower-scoring start to the fantasy season, and some of these players are to blame for it. The following article looks at some of the biggest disappointments from fantasy football Week 4 of the NFL season across each position. This week’s notable fantasy disappointments include Jonathan Taylor, Stefon Diggs, Lamar Jackson, Kyle Pitts and James Robinson. What is PickUp? PickUp is an up-and-coming sports media company aiming to give out free…

As football fans, it’s not often we get to witness a man coach against his former team, inside a building that has a statue of him out front. Doug Pederson will get a chance to do just that when the Jaguars vs Eagles kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field in an NFL Week 4 matchup this Sunday. Though Philadelphia Eagles fans should have nothing but respect for the former QB turned Super Bowl-winning head coach, they are also on the hunt for a 4-0 record, which Pederson’s young and talented Jacksonville Jaguars team currently stands in the way of. This NFL…

One of the most confusing and certainly the most publicly bet lines of NFL Week 4 comes to us from Cardinals vs Panthers, which saw Arizona open as 1.5-point underdogs. Both teams are 1-2 entering the matchup and the loser will likely fall out of any playoff contention. There has been so much money placed on the Arizona Cardinals that they are now favored by a point. In football, there is a famous saying that “public dogs always die,” but does that still hold true when they kick off the game as favorites? This NFL betting preview will discuss our…

On paper, this Chargers vs Texans game should be one of the biggest talent discrepancies in all of Week 4. The reason the spread doesn’t reflect this is that the Los Angeles Chargers have played far beneath their abilities and have not looked like the team they were touted to be entering the season. They have dealt with significant injuries, but cannot let that be the reason they hand the Houston Texans their first victory to start the season. This NFL betting preview will discuss our Chargers vs Texans prediction, NFL betting trends, odds and Week 4 NFL picks against the spread.…

In the recent past, a Patriots vs Packers game was viewed as a rare treat, featuring two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Those legendary Tom Brady vs Aaron Rodgers games are a far cry from what we will see on the field at Lambeau this Sunday afternoon, as the Green Bay Packers will face long-time New England Patriots back-up and journeyman Brian Hoyer, who makes his first start since October 2020. This NFL betting preview will discuss our Patriots vs Packers prediction, NFL betting trends, odds and Week 4 NFL picks against the spread. But first, let’s take a look…

Fantasy football Week 2 was a great one for the “Zero RB” draft strategy crowd. Amidst some explosive performances from a large number of wide receivers were top-tier, early-drafted running backs who were just not able to get anything going. Running back value has ebbed and flowed over the existence of fantasy football, but coming into this season they once again seemed to be on the rise. Through two weeks, receivers have proven themselves to once again be the dominant breed and the better options on your roster. The following article looks at some of the biggest disappointments from fantasy…

Our long-awaited fantasy football Week 1 matchups have come and gone, as owners everywhere are feeling the jubilee or wrenching disappointment that comes with finally seeing their squad in action. While there were several surprising and expected players who stood out as “top fantasy performers,” there were just as many who left fantasy owners shaking their heads and thinking back to who they could have drafted in that spot instead. It’s only Week 1, but every matchup counts when fighting for your spot in the 2022 fantasy football playoffs. The following article looks at some of the biggest fantasy football…

Early Saquon Barkley fantasy football picks have been disappointing recently. His lack of ability to stay healthy mixed with the lack of supportive offensive talent around him has led to a displeased New York fan base, but more importantly millions of let-down fantasy football managers. Barkley has gone on the record saying he has heard everything said about him since being picked second overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, and not only does it bother him, but it motivates and angers him. Not long ago, he told reporters, amongst other things, he is expecting to have his best year as…

The Travis Kelce fantasy football outlook has been high for many seasons. The Cincinnati product was putting up impressive numbers back in the Alex Smith days, but quickly became one of the NFL’s top weapons with the arrival of Patrick Mahomes. Kelce, along with the rest of the potent Kansas City offense, will likely go through somewhat of an adjustment period following the departure of Tyreek Hill. The move is twofold for Kelce. It could be a net positive, with more balls thrown in his direction and a heavier dependence for the offense as a whole. It could also be…
