The Miami Dolphins quarterback situation leaves a lot to be desired and with Tyler Huntley getting the start under center, we look to the Dolphins running back to lead the way. 

De’Von Achane has been reliable on the ground, and my Titans vs. Dolphins predictions explain why betting on the RB to exceed his rushing yard total is the way to go. Read all about it in my NFL picks for September 30.

Titans vs Dolphins MNF prediction

My best betDevon Achane Over 56.5 rushing yards (-113 at FanDuel)

My analysisMike McDaniel’s offense is a mess, with the Miami Dolphins down their top two quarterbacks and leaning on recently signed Tyler Huntley under center on Monday night.

Huntley has proven to be a capable Plan B (…

The NBA complaint department has been hard at work this season. If someone prompted ChatGPT to write a report for the 2022-23 product it would be titled “The National Load Management Association: How street clothes became more noticeable than basketball uniforms.” Throw in an All-Star Game with the intensity of a shootaround, and the pre-playoff NBA product was giving serious clearance rack vibes. People who have paid for regular-season games in which stars were resting, and for an all-star event that was a game in title only won’t get refunds for those tickets, but NBA fans across the nation received restitution from the players with an outstanding weekend of action. It started with a Thirsty Thursday teaser, with the Boston Celtics defeating the Indiana Pacers in overtime, and…

Gareth Southgate believes England are blessed with their current crop of attacking full-backs or wing-backs, going as far as to argue that the right side is possibly the strongest area of the squad.

The England manager denied favouring attacking qualities over defensive ones when Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka was left out of the squad and Chelsea’s Reece James included despite having to serve a suspension in the Nations League, explaining that on present form it was impossible to leave out James and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Southgate says no one is challenging Pickford to be England’s goalkeeperRead more

“It’s an area of the pitch where we are blessed,” he says. “Reece and Trent have both played as…

Scientists can’t quite agree on how long it will be until the universe ends. The most trigger-happy astrophysicists have it at around 22bn years, but if we’re lucky it could keep chugging away for 200bn. Earth has slightly less time – becoming a burnt-out lifeless rock in about 5bn, after the sun runs out of fuel and enters what’s known as its “red giant phase”.

Which brings us to Manchester United – who appeared to run out of fuel in 2013. As a gaunt, expressionless Erik ten Hag stood in his technical area at Old Trafford on Sunday, it was hard not to feel that this Groundhog Day paint-by-numbers crisis might be put out of its misery only by the demise of the entire planet.

What can Ten Hag do about the sorry decline of Man…

Police have arrested at least six people and raided the headquarters of the Spanish Football Federation and a residence belonging to its former president, Luis Rubiales, as part of an investigation into allegations of corruption and money laundering.

Spanish police told the Associated Press that Rubiales, who made headlines around the world after an unsolicited kiss and defiant refusal to step down, was not among those arrested on Wednesday. However, a source connected to the operation said Rubiales was among five additional people officially put under investigation.

If your goal is to win your Week 1 matchup in fantasy football this season, I got a guy for you: Anthony Richardson.The Colts open at home against the Texans in what could be the shootout of the week.Richardson passed for 223 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 40 yards and another score on Opening Day—his NFL debut—last September in a 31-21 home loss to the Jaguars.It made the rookie one of the highest-scoring quarterbacks in any fantasy league that week and gave the few who could have projected such success a leg up on the competition.But as those who pumped their chests over Richardson can attest, fantasy football titles aren’t won in Week 1. And they’re definitely not won with quarterbacks who play only two full games before suffering a season-ending injury.There’s a reason…

Tiger Woods’s post-tournament interview on CBS featured one surprising revelation: that the four-time Masters champ dislocated his wrist after catching his club on a root early in the day, leading to “a bone popping out” but that “I put it back in.” Euphemisms aside, this sounds both painful and perhaps implausible? See his statement—and video of the shot—above. [CBS] To contact the author of this post, write to [email protected] ( PGP key) or find him on Twitter @bubbaprog. …
