NFL Week 2 is underway, featuring high-stakes divisional rivalries and teams looking to bounce back from tough season-opening results. Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals travel to meet C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans. The Bengals look to capitalise on momentum after a Week 1 win over Tampa Bay, while Houston's defense aims to put the clamps on Cincinnati's explosive passing attacks. Elsewhere, in Denver, rookie Bo Nix faces Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Denver looks to clean up a sloppy, missed-tackle Week 1 performance against the Chiefs, while the Jaguars try to extend their dominance after shellacking Cleveland. Meanwhile, Aaron...

It would be a major shock if Bayern Munich didn’t beat struggling Union Berlin comfortably in Friday night’s Bundesliga clash at Allianz Arena. Vincent Kompany’s side have been a bit off their best in the opening weeks of the campaign, which is perhaps understandable after a World Cup summer.

Elsewhere, Stuttgart welcome Borussia Dortmund to the MHPArena for what should be one of the weekend’s most entertaining Bundesliga fixtures. Dortmund have made a perfect start, winning all three league matches and scoring three times in each of their last three games across all competitions. The deve...

The NFL is back, and Week 1 gives us our first real look at every team after an offseason full of predictions, hype and unanswered questions. In this episode, I run through a selection of the biggest and most interesting games on the opening slate, breaking down the key matchups, new-look offences, coaching changes and potential Week 1 surprises. Which contenders will immediately live up to expectations, which favourites could be vulnerable, and where might the betting value be hiding? We’ll separate the genuine signals from the preseason noise and make our picks for a fascinating opening weekend of NFL action.

The NFC had its fun — now it’s time for the conference where apparently every division contains somebody who thinks they’re winning the Super Bowl. We’re going through all 16 AFC teams, separating the genuine contenders from the annual September bullshit, and figuring out where the sportsbooks might have left us some money. Buffalo are still chasing the big one, Kansas City remain Kansas City, Baltimore have another loaded roster, and the AFC South is once again asking us to believe that this is finally the year somebody becomes trustworthy.
We’ve got win totals, playoff odds, division markets an...

One of the biggest boxing fights of the year is almost here! Ryan Garcia is set to defend the WBC Welterweight Championship on Saturday against Conor Benn. This event takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the Main Card beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Garcia enters this fight with a 25-2 record, with 20 wins by knockout. In February, Garcia won the WBC Welterweight title against Mario Barrios. That was Garcia’s first victory since December 2023. Garcia is taking on surging British superstar Conor Benn. Benn also has 25 career victories with only one loss and is co...

The Bundesliga’s smallest ever team, Elversberg, will put their 100 per cent record on the line when they welcome 35-time German champions Bayern Munich to the Ursapharm-Arena on Sunday.Elversberg have not only achieved a fairy-tale promotion to the Bundesliga, they are thriving in it, starting out with back-to-back wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach, scoring seven goals in the process.That leaves them two points above Bayern in the standings, with Vincent Kompany’s side having been held to a surprise goalless draw by another of the newly-promoted sides, Schalke, last weekend having opened with a commanding 5-1 win...

The AFC can keep its collection of superstar quarterbacks — today we’re crossing over to the NFC, where half the conference thinks it can reach the Super Bowl and the other half could be firing people by Christmas. We’re going division-by-division through all 16 teams, separating the genuine contenders from the frauds, the sleepers from the corpses, and trying to work out which sportsbooks have accidentally left us a price worth betting. Philadelphia are defending their throne, the NFC North has been turned upside down after Detroit somehow went from contenders to finishing bottom, and somewhere in the NFC South somebo...

Goodbye, Saturday Night's Main Event. Welcome, Sunday Night's Main Event. For the first time in its four-decade history, the iconic professional wrestling series moves to Sunday, emanating from Atlanta. Cody Rhodes, a superstar with multi-generational ties to the city, headlines the card. Rhodes takes on his WrestleMania rival Randy Orton in a rematch months in the making. Orton delivered a devastating punt to Rhodes to end their match and Rhodes has been keen on getting his lick back ever since. Orton recently made his return to WWE TV and nearly delivered a similar blow to the one he did in...

Champions Bayern Munich picked up where they left off when routing Stuttgart 5-1 in the Bundesliga’s curtain-raiser, with the biggest worry for the rest of the league surely being that they did that without Harry Kane scoring. Even more terrifying is that the England captain has since found his feet, netting a brace in a similarly dominant 4-1 victory over Osnabruck in the German Cup. Vincent Kompany’s Bavarians are simply irresistible when at their best and that is bad news for Schalke, who could really do with a win after marking their Bundesliga return with a 3-0 defeat at A...

eyes will be on Carlos Alcaraz as he returns from a wrist injury that has kept him sidelined since Barcelona in April and despite his absence he is a warm favourite to successfully defend his Flushing Meadows crown.Alcaraz's fiercest rival and the man he defeated in last year's final, Jannik Sinner, remains out but there are still plenty of dangers to the Spaniard with French Open hero Alexander Zverev and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic seen as the two most likely to dethrone him by the bookmakers.

The Bundesliga is one of the best leagues to bet on when it comes to individual matches but probably the worst in terms of an outright for the season - when we consider how few markets there are available, compared to some of the other top European leagues. You've only got a handful to go at and two of those have a clear favourite unlikely to be beaten. Bayern Munich are as short as 1/10 in places to lift yet another Bundesliga title, with star striker Harry Kane in at 2/5 with the those bookies who are offering a top goalscorer market.<...

Billi previews the 2026/27 La Liga Season, looking at the Outright Winner, Top Goal Scorer and Winner Without Barcelona and Real Madrid markets. Florentino Pérez pressed the Special One button again after two straight trophyless seasons at Real, however, its Lamine Yamal and co who remain the title favourites.

Plenty has changed since José Mourinho was last appointed Real Madrid manager, but a lot has also not changed. Before his first game in charge in 2010, Spain had just become world champions, their extra-time winner in the final scored by a Barcelona player after their opponents, who had been re...

Islam Makhachev will defend his UFC welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry in the main event of UFC 330 on tomorrow night at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Billi extensively breaks down what could be one of the most intriguing fights of the year.

Spain, Argentina, France and England have held FIFA's top four international spots for almost exactly two years. Now, they will face each other for the right to hoist the World Cup trophy: France versus Spain on Tuesday in Arlington, Texas, followed by Argentina against England on Wednesday in Atlanta — then the winners' faceoff at Sunday's final in East Rutherford, N.J.

It seems surreal that McGregor is actually just hours away from making the walk to the octagon considering the events of the past five years. McGregor’s activity had already fallen off a cliff for various reasons by the time he fought Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021—just McGregor’s fifth fight since 2016 (including a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather)—but the broken leg he suffered that loss signaled the start of a seemingly interminable layoff that had no shortage of diversions.

Fast forward to the now, and somehow, McGregor has returned. He takes on a familiar face, Ma...

With Carlos Alcaraz out of the tournament with injury, could heavy-favourite Jannik Sinner pull off a repeat, or will Novak Djokovic add that final record title to his resume? On the women's side, it feels wide open as usual. Could Aryna Sabalenka win her first major title on grass? Or will another huge underdog capture the women's crown?

WWE Night of Champions 2026 on June 27th serves as the final PLE before SummerSlam. Cody Rhodes defends his WWE Championship against Gunther and Sami Zayn, with Rhodes favored to retain, potentially setting up a SummerSlam clash with CM Punk. The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments conclude, with winners earning world title shots at SummerSlam. Jey Uso is predicted to win the King of the Ring against Oba Femi, possibly due to Brock Lesnar's interference. Iyo Sky is expected to defeat Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring finals, setting up a possible rematch. Other key bouts include...

Billi breaks down the headline bouts from tonight's UFC Freedom 250 main card. Donald Trump is of course expected to be in attendance for the event as the White House hosts a sporting event for the first time ever. The card will feature a lightweight fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, while Alex Pereira is also set to take on Ciryl Gane in a heavyweight interim bout.

Cody Rhodes will get in the ring with Gunther again, although they will be squaring off for a different prize with the Undisputed WWE Championship at stake...

Billi looks at the Futures markets for both the men and women at this year's French Open. The men's draw is obviously missing Carlos Alcaraz and the potential of a rematch of last year's epic final against Jannik Sinner, but Grand Slam tournaments always leave plenty of room for surprises. While Sinner is a big favorite to win on the men's side, the women's draw looks wide open for any of five to 10 different potential winners.

Ronda Rousey is stepping back into the cage tonight for the first time in nearly a decade — and she’s doing it against another foundational figure in women’s MMA.  Rousey faces Gina Carano live on Netflix in a long-discussed superfight years in the making, headlining Netflix’s first-ever live MMA event from Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
The blockbuster fight card also features Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry in a five-round welterweight bout, along with the return of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who faces Brazil’s Philipe Lins following his crossover into boxing and dominant 2024 PFL championshi...

The bottom three has been decided in the Bundesliga but the order is yet to be determined with three teams battling to claim the play-off place and avoid automatic relegation. Wolfsburg currently hold that coveted 16th spot but they are level on points with rock bottom St Pauli ahead of their do-or-die meeting in Hamburg on Saturday.Heidenheim are sandwiched between these two sides and they face Mainz this weekend so both of these teams will be keeping tabs on that game as well, and all three sides have similar goal differences as well with Wolfsburg on -26 and the...

The next chapter in wrestling kicks off with Backlash, with WWE turning the page on its calendar while also dealing with the fallout of WrestleMania 42.

Stuttgart host Bayer Leverkusen tomorrow in a match that may decide who goes into next season's Champions League. Leverküsen are fourth in the league, one place above Stuttgart, but both teams have won more games than they have lost this season.Stuttgart are without a win in three Bundesliga games and have played out two straight stalemates, but Bayer Leverkusen have won four of their last five matches and have gone unbeaten on seven of their last eight road trips.

The race to secure Champions League football is hotting up in Germany and with three games left to play, time is running out for Bayer Leverkusen to break into the Bundesliga’s top four. Their 2-1 win over Cologne and Stuttgart’s 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen moved them to within two points of their goal but fifth-placed Hoffenheim are also on two points, so they need all the victories they can get if they are to break into the Champions League places. RB Leipzig, in contrast, look sure to be dining at Europe’s top table next term. Five straight...

Billi breaks down selected matches from this weekend's Matchday 31 slate. The title race is over, but the UCL race between Stuttgart, Hoffenheim and Leverküsen is likely to go all the way. Bayer Leverkusen have only lost one of their last seven Bundesliga away games and they travel to Cologne on this afternoon, desperately looking for a win to put some pressure on their rivals.

Billi breaks down a selection of handpicked matches from Italy, France and Portugal, all taking place on Sunday.

Billi breaks down selected matches from this weekend's Matchday 30 slate. Vincent Kompany’s side could lift the title with a win this weekend, should Borussia Dortmund slip up on Saturday. Regardless, a win will leave them at least 12 points clear with four games to play, and their goal difference is more than double that of their nearest challengers.

Billi looks at the betting for both nights of WrestleMania 42. As usual, WWE has loaded up WrestleMania with a mix of superstar wrestlers and the involvement of mainstream stars.

Thirteen matches have been announced for the two-day event. Night 1 will be headlined by Randy Orton challenging Cody Rhodes for the undisputed WWE championship.

Tyson Fury makes his latest return from retirement on Saturday night with a tough but very winnable match-up against Arslanbek Makhmudov.Back in January 2025, Fury called time on his career for the fifth time after back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk but he’s since decided to fight on, and a win over Makhmudov would set him up for either a trilogy meeting with Usyk or a long-awaited tussle with British rival Anthony Joshua – or potentially both.

Däs Bündesliga Show is back on the correct feed, after accidentally being posted on the Soccer Betting Podcast feed last weekend.

Deontay Wilder's two fights against Tyson Fury, either side of the Covid-19 pandemic, will live long in the memory of boxing fans around the world. But the two defeats for the American affected his standing in the heavyweight division and he has not reached the same heights since.In the four-and-a-half years since his second loss against Fury, Wilder has fought just four times and lost two of them.That has left the 40-year-old scrambling to climb the steps of the heavyweight division, with chances to get back in the title conversation dwindling.Given the two fighters' lack of fights...

I am having trouble getting this on the paywall feed due to the poor WiFi and 5g in Thailand, so I had to put this on free feed for this week only.

Barcelona’s La Liga title charge has been built on a foundation of rock-solid home form, winning all 15 of their games in their own back yard this term.

Bayern Munich are in scarily good form at the moment and should benefit from the return of Harry Kane for Saturday’s Bundesliga trip to BayArena. Vincent Kompany’s side smashed Atalanta 6-1 in Bergamo on Tuesday without the England striker, who also missed their 4-1 home win over Monchengladbach last weekend.Leverkusen also impressed on the continental stage in midweek and their performance in a 1-1 draw against Arsenal should give them confidence, but the visit of the Bundesliga leaders represents an even tougher test.

Their resilience was on full display in Der Klassiker, where a dramatic late goal via Kimmich secured a vital win over Dortmund.
