Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens host the Buffalo Bills in a battle between two of the best quarterbacks in the AFC. 

Jackson is the reigning NFL MVP and is looking to get his Ravens back to .500 on Sunday night. He’s been using his legs to run this season and we’re looking that way for his player prop picks against Buffalo.

Read on for my NFL picks when it comes to Lamar Jackson odds for Sunday, September 28.

Lance Lynn attempts to trace the footsteps of fellow veteran righty Sonny Gray and break into the win column as the visiting St. Louis Cardinals go for a second straight victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night. Pitching at the site of his early career success, Gray dominated the series opener for six innings, shutting out his former team on four hits in a 3-1 Cardinals win. Lynn (0-0, 2.63 ERA) is coming off a strong effort, having held the Philadelphia Phillies to one hit over five innings of what turned into a 4-3 loss last Wednesday. He has allowed earned runs in just one of his three starts, including opening his season with four shutout innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers. With Lynn following Gray, who missed the opening of the season with a hamstring injury, in th…

It has been a fairly typical transfer window for Tottenham so far, with a huge number of players being linked with the club but most of those rumours falling flat. However, that is looking increasingly likely to change, with new arrivals Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Matt Doherty perhaps being joined by an eye-catching duo from Real Madrid. Sergio Reguilón is expected to sign for Spurs this week, following a fine season on loan at Sevilla, and a return for Gareth Bale appears a real possibility.

No team should be judged on one game, but the manner of Spurs’ defeat to Everton at the weekend suggested there is big room for improvement. For all his merits as a dependable defender, Ben Davies’ lack of attacking threat leaves the side imbalance…

A “dominant and dangerous” robber has been convicted of being part of a four-strong gang who smashed into the home of the former England footballer Ashley Cole and threatened to cut off his fingers.

The former Arsenal, Chelsea and Derby defender told police he thought “now I am going to die” as he recalled how the masked raiders tied his hands behind his back despite him holding his young daughter in January 2020.

Nottingham crown court heard that Kurtis Dilks was the only one of the gang responsible for the robbery to be caught after his DNA was recovered on the cable ties used to restrain Cole and his partner, Sharon Canu.

The 35-year-old courier claimed his DNA was found on the c…

The Football Association will vote against controversial reforms that would allow the Uefa president, Aleksander Ceferin, to run for an unprecedented fourth term.

In what will be seen as a rare breaking of ranks, England will signal its opposition at the governing body’s annual congress in Paris on Thursday. All of the continent’s 55 member states are to vote on the statute changes and, while they are expected to pass overwhelmingly, the FA intends to make a stand amid widespread disquiet over Ceferin’s plans.

It is possible that the FA will be a lone dissenting voice when votes are cast at Maison de la Mutualité. Few around Uefa anticipate a rebellion totalling more than two or three, with a Ukrainian federa…

When a team drafts a running back in the first round of the NFL Draft, everyone expects him to carry a heavy workload for his new team (especially when his legs look like tree trunks), but Pittsburgh’s Cam Heyward might be expecting a little bit too much out of his new teammate, Najee Harris. This morning, while being interviewed for Good Morning Football, Heyward said of Harris: “I think, as a defender, we’re most excited to have him. Having a guy like that that can tote the rock 30 to 40 times a game really puts an ease for the defense.” EXCUSE ME?!?!?! 30 to 40 times?! I’d hate to break it to you, Cam, but Harris won’t get anywhere close to that. In 2020, Tennessee’s Derrick Henry led the NFL in rushing attempts with 378, over 60 more than the next closest player, Da…

The Chicago Cubs placed outfielder Seiya Suzuki on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right oblique strain. The Cubs recalled outfielder Alexander Canario from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. To start his third season in MLB after moving over from Japan, Suzuki leads the Cubs with 18 hits and 13 RBIs through 15 games, with three home runs and a .305 batting average. The 29-year-old, who played Sunday against the Seattle Mariners and went 2-for-4, has batted .277 with 37 homers and 133 RBIs over 264 career games since joining the Cubs in 2022. Canario, 23, made his major league debut last season and got into six games for the Cubs. He went 5-for-17 (.294) with six RBIs, one home run, one triple and one double. Canario has batted .269 so far this season at Iowa. —Fi…
