Moving the spread across multiple key numbers is the name of the game with teasers, and I’ve handpicked multiple teams to target for this week’s action.
Let’s delve into the upcoming Sunday slate, with the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings headlining my NFL picks for Week 4.
Monaco will open their Coupe de la Ligue campaign with an away trip to Reims after the draw for the third round was made on Thursday.
Claudio Ranieri s men sit top of the Ligue 1 table and are undefeated after the first five games, with star striker Radamel Falcao already finding the net on four occasions.
However, the principality club have not won a major trophy since 2003, when they beat Sochaux 4-1 in the Coupe de la Ligue final, and they will start their quest to regain the crown against a Reims side that has lost just once so far this season.
Rennes, who reached last year s final only to lose to Saint-Etienne, host Ligue 2 Nancy, while Brittany rivals Nantes and Lorient face-off at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Bastia have been drawn against Corsican neighbour…
Jurgen Klopp is hopeful his Borussia Dortmund side can learn from past experiences ahead of their UEFA Champions League game with Marseille.
Both sides head into the game having lost their opening matches against Napoli and Arsenal respectively, but it is Marseille who perhaps hold the psychological advantage after doing the double over Dortmund in the 2011-12 campaign.
The Bundesliga side were eliminated in the group stage in that season, but they will likely go in as favourites for this clash at Signal Iduna Park following their run to the final last term.
Still, Klopp is wary of the threat posed by Marseille, and is hoping his side can avenge their previous losses to their Ligue 1 counterparts.
You cannot buy experience, the manager said.
We had bad exp…
Milan to return for Witsel
that AC Milan are ready to reignite their interest in Zenit star Axel Witsel.
The Rossoneri managed to recruit quite a few quality footballers in the summer transfer window, but they were unable to lure the Belgium star to Stadio San Siro.
Nevertheless, AC Milan aim to make things right in the winter and finally secure the services of the 26-year-old footballer.
And while the Rossoneri would prefer to sign Witsel on loan with an option to buy, Zenit would only agree to such an arrangement if an obligatory buy-out clause is included.
The midfielder himself is keen on moving to AC Milan, so everything suggests the transfer will go ahead.
The Rossoneri haven t enjoyed such a good start to the new season, but they…
Real Madrid have once again been linked with a move for Liverpool star Raheem Sterling, .
The 20 year old is currently considering a new deal posed by Reds – the club he has spent the entirety of his short career so far.
He only broke into the Reds first team in March 2012, but has already racked up one hundred and ten appearances in all competitions, scoring twenty-one goals.
He was one of the driving forces in Liverpool’s impressive 2013/14 campaign, where the club got back in to the Champions League and fell just short of winning a first league title in twenty-four years.
Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur yesterday evening to remain well in the hunt for a Champions League spot this season, with the victory moving them to within just three point…
Market: Both teams to score
Odds:
Meeting for the second time in six days after playing out a 1-1 draw in the FA Cup last week, Cardiff will welcome Reading to South Wales on Friday night.
Starting with the hosts, putting in what was a season-best display and picking up a 2-1 win over title contenders West Brom in South Wales in midweek, Cardiff suddenly find the mood in their camp on the rise. While they may have only played out a 1-1 draw against the Royals on FA Cup duties last week, new boss Neil Harris finds his side in the midst of a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions. While the former Millwall boss might see his side enjoying a much more clinical edge in the final third, it should be noted that Cardiff have failed to record a clean sheet in t…
Best Odds: 4/7

Looking to make a real European statement on Thursday night, Brighton will welcome Manchester United to the Amex.
Brighton
Starting with the hosts, making a rampant return to winning ways last weekend, Brighton have only continued to gain a string of plaudits since they welcomed Roberto De Zerbi to the Amex back in September. Eventually breezing past Wolves thanks to a 6-0 romp on the south coast, the Seagulls now have their sights firmly set on clinching a famous European spot over the next few weeks. While the top-six contenders might have been left heartbroken at Wembley on April 23rd as they watched their FA Cup adventure come to an end at the hands of Thursday’s opponents following a heartbreaking penalties defeat, Brighton shou…
Owen Coyle has revealed that Wigan Athletic are close to bringing in a striker on loan, .
The name of the individual has not been confirmed, though it is believed to be Manchester United’s England U21 international Will Keane.
The Latics already have one of David Moyes’ players in their ranks in the shape of former Crewe Alexandra man Nick Powell, who has impressed in his time with the Championship club so far.
Their current selection of forwards have been relatively shy in the final third so far this season, with Grant Holt, Shaun Maloney and Marc-Antoine Fortune sharing out just six goals between them.
Keane, whose twin brother Michael is also on the books of the Premier League champions, has played just five minutes of first team club football…
French daily newspaper L Equipe understands that Guingamp striker Claudio Beauvue is widely expected to move to English Premier League at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old footballer has been one of the revelations of this year s Ligue 1 campaign, having bagged 11 goals in 28 league appearances.
And despite signing a new deal until June 2017 last summer, Beauvue has an agreement with the club chiefs to leave at the end of the season in case of a good offer.
According to L Equipe, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille and Lyon are all casting admiring glances his way, although the player himself would prefer a switch to English Premier League.
And it looks as though his wish will come true seeing as both Everton and West Ham are showing interest in his servic…
Jurgen Klopp revealed Liverpool defender Joel Matip suffered a only a little tear in his thigh muscle in Sunday s friendly against Borussia Dortmund.
The centre-back was withdrawn midway through the first half of his side s 3-1 defeat in the International Champions Cup clash in Charlotte.
The sight of Matip limping off sparked fears he had suffered a reoccurrence of the thigh injury which ruled him out of the latter stages of the 2017-18 season, including the Champions League final.
While Klopp confirmed that was not the case, the German conceded the severity of the setback was unclear at this stage.
It s not the same injury, it s another muscle, but it s a muscle, obviously. It looks like, hopefully, only a little tear, the Liverpool manager said.
Troy Deeney expects Watford s owners to debunk their ruthless reputation by backing under-pressure head coach Javi Gracia.
Last season s beaten FA Cup finalists sit bottom of the Premier League after four matches and are without a win in the top flight since April 20.
Gracia was linked with the Chelsea job during the close season but now faces a test of his leadership at Vicarage Road.
Reports emerging before the international break suggested time was against the Spaniard, who became the club s fifth boss in roughly three and a half years when he replaced Marco Silva in January 2018.
Captain and key striker Deeney is confident Gracia has nothing to worry about, insisting the revolving door of the past has closed.
The manager is a big boy, he kno…
