While it may not be a marquee matchup on the NFL Week 8 odds board, football bettors get a battle between the top two quarterbacks selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.
C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans visit Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, with the home team getting a field goal from the NFL odds this Sunday afternoon.
Stroud is off to a stronger start to his pro career, helping Houston bring a 3-3 record (4-2 against the spread) into their Week 7 bye. Young, on the other hand, has struggled through a 0-6 start (1-5 ATS) but hopes a change at play-caller coming out of the bye week can wake up the Panthers’ passing game.

Fulham have made their first signing since winning promotion to the Premier League, buying Antonee Robinson from Wigan Athletic for £1.9m.
Robinson, who has impressed at left-back for Wigan, was a target for several Premier League clubs. West Ham scouted him at the end of last season and the USA defender was close to joining Sheffield United until Fulham, who earned an instant return to the top flight after beating Brentford in the Championship play-off final, came in for him.
The 23-year-old is highly rated and was on the verge of joining Milan for £6m during the January transfer window before the deal was called off after an irregular heartbeat was detected during his medical. However interest in Robinson has no…
Olivia Moultrie made history on Sunday night by becoming the youngest goalscorer in National Women’s Soccer League history.
The 16-year-old scored in the 74th minute for the Portland Thorns, the third goal in a 4-0 rout of the Houston Dash at BBVA Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Sophia Smith took advantage of a careless turnover from Houston in their own final third and squared the ball for Moultrie, who tapped home her historic first goal.
“Obviously, I’m extremely excited to be able to score my first goal, but more importantly just how big of a win that was for us as a team and what we’ve been working on,” Moultrie said afterward. “All around, just a very exciting moment.”

Newcastle United’s chairman, Yasir al-Rumayyan, is facing a £58m lawsuit for allegedly “having carried out the instructions” of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman, with “malicious intent”, it has been reported.
The claims, which are said to be made in legal papers sent to Rumayyan at several locations, including at St James’ Park, also allege that he acted with the aim of “harming, silencing and ultimately destroying” the family of Dr Saad Aljabri, the kingdom’s former intelligence chief. According to the Athletic, the papers have asked a court for Rumayyan, who is also the chairman of LIV Golf, to be added to an existing case, and for a new claim to be brought against him and the others.

Copa America fever isn't running rampant, with the Americans long gone from the scene, but the semifinal clash between Colombia and Uruguay is a biggie. It also has me wondering: do ardent soccer bettors pick every match to end in a draw?Well, there's no tying in baseball, and there's a full slate of games to choose from. Hot pitchers Gavin Stone (Los Angeles Dodgers) and Cristopher Sanchez (Philadelphia Phillies) square off as the National League division leaders meet again.The Atlanta Braves are hot with four straight wins, and a tape measure should be handy when Adam Duvall comes to bat. His 441-foot blast Tuesday night still falls short of the 483-foot homer he swatted in 2021. That one seemingly landed on the roof of the nearby Phoenix Suns' arena.ATLANTA BRAVES …
A medical clinic in Illinois is accusing the NFL of instructing its insurance carrier to deny claims made by former players under the auspices of the league’s disability plan. The allegations are outlined in a lawsuit that also accuses the league of retaliating against the clinic for providing independent diagnostic services in lieu of the concussion settlement. Advanced Physicians S.C. first filed the suit in Illinois state court in March, but the case was moved to federal court on Thursday. According to the suit, which was first reported by Law360, “[t]he NFL doesn’t want to pay its former players disability payments under the disability plan” that had been collectively bargained between the league and the NFLPA. According to the suit, Advanced estimates it has treated more t…
