The New Orleans Saints try to stop the bleeding of a five-game losing skid when they head to East Rutherford to face the New York Jets in Week 14.

New Orleans, which hasn’t won since Halloween, is coming off a mini bye after a loss to Dallas at home last Thursday. The Saints aren’t certain of their quarterback situation for Week 14, either, with Taysom Hill injuring his finger in his first start last week, which could have Trevor Siemian back under center Sunday.

For the second straight week, the Chicago Bears will be in primetime. After suffering a 12-7 defeat at Soldier Field in a forgettable Thursday night affair in Week 6, the Monsters of the Midway will invade Gillette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots to end Week 7. 

Bears quarterback Justin Fields has not exactly thrown his hat in the ring for NFL MVP this year, but that doesn’t mean his NFL player prop markets aren’t offering solid wagering opportunities. Here are our three favorite Justin Fields props for Monday, October 24.

The Minnesota Vikings have lost two of their last three, with their lone win coming in last week’s disgusting 3-0 victory. Josh Dobbs, who originally lit up the scoreboard for the Vikings following their trade for him after Kirk Cousin’s season-ending injury, has been benched and backup Nick Mullens will get the start as an underdog in the NFL odds.

They will take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have won two straight with backup Jake Browning under center. He’s averaged 315 passing yards during that time.

Which backup quarterback will rise to the occasion and help make their team make an improbable playoff push?

The Minnesota Vikings have had a hellacious week on the injury front. J.J. McCarthy opted for a full meniscus repair that will sideline him for all of 2024 and Jordan Addison was spotted in a boot following Wednesday’s practice.

Vikings vs Browns prediction

My best betBrowns -4.5 (-110 at FanDuel)

My analysisThe preseason is all about picking up moral victories and after the Minnesota Vikings secured their first preseason win since 2019 last week, they had exactly that. But just as things were looking up, Minnesota experienced a week from hell.

An early free-kick from superstar Neymar helped Brazil past Colombia and into the Rio 2016 men s football semi-finals.

The Barcelona forward struck from range in the 12th minute before Luan netted in the second half of a 2-0 win in Sao Paulo on Saturday.

The hosts are under pressure to deliver gold at their home Olympics and Neymar s effort helped them on their way.

Awaiting them in the last four are Honduras, who were fortunate to claim a 1-0 win over South Korea thanks to an Alberth Elis goal on the hour.

Germany continued their free-scoring form by thrashing Portugal 4-0 to set up a meeting with Nigeria.

Runners-up in 2008, Nigeria claimed a 2-0 win over Denmark, Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel opening the scoring.

Over 200 people were arrested on Sunday in Austria on the second day of Euro 2008, including 157 mostly German fans in Klagenfurt, the interior ministry said on Monday.

Among those arrested in the south Austrian town, where Germany and Poland met for their first group stage match, were 144 Germans and 10 Polish fans, said ministry spokesman Konrad Kogler.

All except two fans have since been released, Klagenfurt police spokesman Gottlieb Tuerk told AFP.

They were not expected to be expelled from the country as previously reported in the media, he added.

Dozens of German supporters were arrested after chanting Nazi slogans, which is punishable by up to two years in prison under Austrian law.

But Carinthia police decided not to press incitement…

It is tempting to look back at Spain s 2010 World Cup triumph and remember only the final the glorious victory of brain over brawn, of elegance over Dutch brutality.

Andres Iniesta wrote his name in Spanish folklore with the extra-time winner, granting him eternal reverence, and applause at every ground he subsequently visited with Barcelona.

In addition to Iniesta, Vicente del Bosque was able to call on the rugged Carles Puyol in defence, the midfield artistry of Xavi and Xabi Alonso and the predatory instincts of David Villa and Fernando Torres.

A team so good you d imagine they breezed through the group stage with the minimum of fuss.

Not so. Indeed, their early travails in South Africa bear a striking similarity to Spain s struggles in advancing …

A classic NFC South showdown takes center stage for Sunday Night Football in Week 15, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play host to the reeling New Orleans Saints at the pirate ship.

The Bucs are favored by 11.5 as they aim to win for the fifth straight game. The Saints, on the other hand, have mostly struggled of late outside of Week 14’s beatdown against the Jets. The Buccaneers are not the Jets.

We’re already in Week 10 and despite a bump in the road last week, it’s been a profitable season to date on the player prop front.
