Week 15 in the NFL features a rivalry clash between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.
Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay has been a no-show, but running back Gus Edwards won’t be disappearing anytime soon despite a monster game from J.K. Dobbins last week. Meanwhile, Browns QB Deshaun Watson should continue to shake off the rust despite some winter weather on Saturday.
Here are my favorite NFL prop picks for this AFC North rivalry…and make sure to check out our full Ravens vs. Browns betting preview for more.

When putting this article together this week, I couldn’t help but think to myself that there are a lot of team total-related trends here — just one of those weeks in the latest NFL odds, I guess.
Team totals aren’t an incredibly popular betting market, but maybe they should be, because it’s an easier handicap if you think about it. When betting a team total, you’re simply narrowing your analysis down to an offense vs. a defense, which eliminates a lot of factors that are involved in a traditional full-game bet.
I usually have at least one team total on my card this week, but I’ll likely set a personal record for the amount I play in Week 16 odds — what could go wrong?
Enough about me though. Taking a…
The Chicago Bears start a new era on Sunday as Caleb Williams makes his NFL debut against the Tennessee Titans at Soldier Field.
However, it’s the Tennessee backfield that has my attention, and our Titans vs. Bears predictions are eyeing the props market for Tony Pollard. Find out more in my NFL picks for Sunday, September 8.
Titans vs Bears prediction
My best betTony Pollard Over 10.5 receiving yards (-110 at BetMGM)
My analysis
The days of the ground-and-pound attack from the Tennessee Titans are a thing of the past following the hiring of pass-happy head coach Brian Callahan and the offseason signings of wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd.
Running back Tony Pollard was also brought in after recording 94 r…
The Norwegian top-flight club Tromsø have released a kit featuring a QR code that puts the spotlight on human rights issues in Qatar with just under a year until the World Cup there.
The club say the third kit has been created in collaboration with Amnesty International and is the world’s first to feature a QR code which will take those who scan it to a page featuring detailed information on conditions in Qatar.

With the home crowd cheering them on, it would be great to see the Football Ferns win their first match against Norway. I’d be thrilled to see them reach the last 16. It’s so exciting to see the ripple effect this tournament is already having on women and girls participating in football more widely – both in Australia and New Zealand.
The media coverage of women’s football has also improved massively. The focus is now mostly on the players’ on-field achievements rather than their personal lives or what they wear. The potential for this tournament is huge. Danene

Naturally the New Yorker does its best to bury the lead, but there are plenty of clues in this week's cover story "Gangs of Rio" as to why the world's #1 city for "violent international deaths" won the 2016 Olympics. Since the popular election of Marxist dictator President Luis Inacio Lula de Silva, the magazine grudgingly reports, the once-civil society of Rio has degenerated into something akin to a large South American Superdome, with more violence. While their more enterprising Latin American neighbors nurture healthy export sectors, Brazilians — not unlike so unlike us citizens of the People's Republic of Obameristan — have become net consumers, with "yesterday's" Marxist gangs revealing themselves to be (surprise, surprise!) �…
The Knicks beat the Suns last night behind another incredible offensive performance from young Kristaps Porzingis. The Suns have looked frisky since the firing of Earl Watson—that doesn’t make this some great win, but it does help make the case that the Knicks are not, in fact, complete trash. No. While Porzingis is playing like this, they are a fun and interesting team in a season that has otherwise so far not been especially fun and interesting. No moment in last night’s game was more fun and interesting than this sequence, when Porzingis made recent fourth overall draft pick Josh Jackson look like a complete bozo at both ends, in what has to be the most humbling 10-second span of Jackson’s basketball career: The Zinger! The rare emphatic block that doesn’t go rocketing in…
