Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini could face a ban after a controversial incident involving Ryan Shawcross
Manchester City recorded a much-needed 3-1 win at Newcastle in the early Premier League kick-off. City bounced back from their derby defeat with a good win at St James Park.

The champions extended their lead in the 39th minute. Carlos Tevez’s corner was headed towards goal by midfielder Javi Garcia, only for Newcastle full-back Davide Santon to knock the ball into his own goal on the line.
The home side equalised in the 51st minute, Demba Ba looping a header over Joe Hart after the striker had beaten the offside trap. The…

The NFL betting odds have hovered around a field-goal spread for this game, with Tennessee currently sitting as a 3-point favorite.

After dropping their banner night game to open the season, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have turned things around with two straight wins, including last week’s sterling performance that saw the two-time MVP go 24-for-33 for 272 yards and three touchdowns.
They’ll travel to New York to take on the Jets on Sunday Night Football, a team marred by the season-ending injury to Aaron Rodgers. The defense continues to play well, holding the Patriots to just 15 points last week and the Bills to just 16 points in Week 1.

The New England Patriots (2-10) have hit rock bottom, having lost five straight. A concerted switch from Mac Jones to second-year backup Bailey Zappe hasn’t changed much for the Patriots’ offense, who are coming fresh off of a shutout.

The Minnesota Vikings are handing out name tags this offseason with almost half the roster flipped from 2023.

Things will likely get worse before they get better, especially with a challenging schedule to open the season. But early struggles could lead to plenty of points from the bookies in the back half of the sked, when this revamped roster comes together and the new face of the franchise finally gets snaps.
The Vikings aren’t anxious to feed rookie QB J.J. McCarthy to the wolves but…
