When compared to all the advanced stats and computer-learning power ratings out there, situational handicapping can seem a bit… passé.
But tell that to the Cincinnati Bengals and our “schedule spot” for Week 8.
Spot bets are an additional layer to your handicapping, going beyond what the analytics tell you and digging into how the schedule can rattle the psyche of NFL teams. Before you make your NFL betting picks, check out my favorite letdown, lookahead and schedule spot bets for Week 9.
Sony has been quite successful with the PS5. According to the Sony’s recent earnings reports, courtesy of analyst Daniel Ahmad, the company sold around 4.5 million units of the PS5 over the last quarter. For a larger picture, around 59.2 million units of the PS5 were sold in totality as of the end of the previous financial year on March 31, 2024.
For some added context, this means that when it comes to speed of sales, the PS5 is slightly behind the PS4, which had sold around 60 million units in the same time frame. Sony also doesn’t seem to expect the PS5 to outsell the PS4 next year.
Interestingly, the numbers for the last quarter are also much higher than those of Xbox Series X/S, which reportedly only sold around a fifth of the number of units as th…

Gareth Bale has been included in a Wales training squad by Ryan Giggs amid speculation over his Real Madrid future.
Zinedine Zidane left Bale unused on the bench as Madrid ended their LaLiga season with a 2-0 home defeat against Real Betis on Sunday.
Bale has played a bit-part role since Zidane returned to the club and his time at the Santiago Bernabeu looks to be coming to an end.
Manchester United have long been linked with a move for Bale, whose agent Jonathan Barnett has said a Premier League return is possible.
Before a close-season break, Bale will link up with his international colleagues ahead of Euro 2020 qualifiers versus Croatia and Hungary.
Ryan Giggs will fly out to the Algarve for a 6 day training camp ahead of the qualificatio…

Dimitri Oberlin played a starring role as Basel ended their 11-game winless run in the Champions League with the stunning 5-0 defeat of 10-man Benfica at St Jakob Park on Wednesday.
Not since November 2014 had the Swiss side tasted victory at this level, but their Group A opponents were blown away by a devastating game plan that relied heavily on the awesome speed of Oberlin to secure the club s biggest Champions League win.
The Red Bull Salzburg loanee ran riot, playing a key role in Michael Lang s breakthrough goal before adding a brace of his own either side of the penalty he won for Ricky van Wolfswinkel to convert.
Rui Vitoria, hurting from a home reverse against CSKA Moscow on matchday one, had called for his side to deliver in the first of five finals , bu…
Rivaldo believes this season will be Lionel Messi s last with Barcelona amid ongoing links to Manchester City.
Messi s future remains an important topic at Barca after he handed in a transfer request following a tumultuous 2019-20 season.
The superstar Barca captain was tipped to join Premier League powerhouse City before opting to remain in Spain, though he has since been linked to Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain and Inter.
Former Barca star Rivaldo feels the club s new board will be unable to convince six-time Ballon d Or winner Messi to stay beyond 2020-21.
Barcelona had already negotiated some salary cuts [amid the coronavirus pandemic] with players and also tried to make a general cut that was declined by the squad, so, this is not new for …
Huddersfield Town have been relegated from the Premier League courtesy of a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Terriers have endured a dreadful second season in the top flight and were condemned to the drop by Luka Milivojevic s penalty and a Patrick van Aanholt strike.
Their loss combined with wins for Burnley and Southampton over Wolves and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively left them 19 points adrift of safety with six games remaining.
After earning promotion via the play-offs in 2016-17, Huddersfield sensationally avoided relegation back to the Championship under David Wagner.
However, they struggled to replicate their impressive performances of 2017-18 and Wagner left the club last January with Huddersfield eight points shy of 17th. …
Giovani dos Santos claims Tottenham s reasons to keep him at the club are unconvincing as he seeks a move away from White Hart Lane.
The Mexico international has struggled to cement a regular first-team place following his arrival from Barcelona in 2008 and made just 13 appearances in all competitions for Harry Redknapp s side last season.
The 23-year-old was set for a move to Spanish side Villarreal, but the deal fell through due to the club s relegation from La Liga this month, according to the midfielder s lawyer.
(Tottenham) have given me answers but none convince me, Dos Santos said when asked why Spurs have refused to sell him.
Because, at the end of the day, they haven t given me minutes on the pitch. I respect the club and my contract, but my …
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is too savvy to risk possible dressing-room unrest by cashing in on striker Harry Kane, according to Harry Redknapp.
Former Spurs boss Redknapp handed Kane his debut in 2011, but it is current manager Mauricio Pochettino who has got the best out of the 21-year-old.
A return of 21 goals from 34 Premier League appearances last term has paved the way for Kane to be linked with a big-money move to Manchester United, but Redknapp cannot see the youngster leaving White Hart Lane.
Redknapp told talkSPORT: If Harry Kane left Tottenham there would be uproar. It would send out all the wrong signals to Tottenham fans.
I don t think Daniel Levy will sell Harry. He knows what that would do to the club.
I was at West Ham w…
