The NFL season continues at pace with every Sunday coming sooner than the last.
With three weeks under our belt already, we have some reliable data to go on when sizing up the Week 4 touchdown props.
I’ll take what I’ve learned so far this season and apply it to my NFL picks as I list my three favorite first touchdown scorers for Sunday’s slate.

The Chicago Sky acquired the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and center Nikolina Milic from the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday. The Lynx, in turn, received the eighth overall pick in the draft, forward Sika Kone, Chicago's second-round selection in the 2025 draft and the rights to swap the Sky's first-round pick in 2026. "We are excited to strengthen our draft position once again in a year with many top prospects," Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said. "We thank Sika for her many contributions to the Chicago Sky and wish her success in her next role." The Sky now own the third overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft (from the Phoenix Mercury) in addition to Nos. 7 and 13 (from the Dallas Wings via the Indiana Fever). "This trade in the WNBA Draf…
David Moyes has said that West Ham’s players showed solidarity after Grady Grady Diangana’s controversial sale to West Brom and refused to criticise Mark Noble’s outburst about the winger’s departure.
The West Ham board faced unrest from supporters after allowing Diangana to leave for £18m and tensions were further inflamed when Noble tweeted that he was “angry and sad” about the decision to sell the 22-year-old. Yet Moyes, who needed to raise funds for new signings through sales, said the captain had a right to express himself and insisted that his players were not in revolt as they prepare for Saturday evening’s home game against Newcastle.

At Old Trafford on Wednesday night the Women’s European Championship will get under way in front of a crowd of 73,000. England, the tournament hosts, will play Austria with Sarina Wiegman’s team hoping to prove their credentials as leading contenders for the trophy. Alongside a lavish opening ceremony, it is guaranteed there will be fireworks – a showcase for a sport exploding in popularity.
When England last hosted a Women’s European Championship finals, in 2005, the mood was very different. The coach of the national team – the pioneering Hope Powell – declared before the tournament that “the women’s game here is a second-class sport”. Her players were part-time, matches were played only in the north-west, and only eight t…
Jürgen Klopp’s departure will inspire Liverpool to end the season on a high to honour their manager, says Alexis Mac Allister. The German will end his nine-year Anfield reign in the summer, aiming to add to his six major honours, with four trophies still to play for.
The Premier League leaders face a potentially pivotal game in the title race on Sunday when they travel to Arsenal. Liverpool have defeated the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium this year, winning 2-0 in the FA Cup third round.

There is comfort knowing what you have at quarterback, and Georgia coach Kirby Smart can only smile at just how settled the Bulldogs are at the position entering the 2024 season. Carson Beck started every game last season, ending an apprenticeship behind Stetson Bennett, and went undefeated in the regular season to establish himself as the No. 1 quarterback for the Bulldogs. "The day and age when you go somewhere and you jump school to school, it's a popular trend. This kid stuck it out," Smart said at SEC Media Days in Dallas on Tuesday. "He didn't get the starting job in a tough moment when the starter went down, and he lost the starting job to Stetson Bennett the week of the UAB game two years ago, and then said, 'You know what? I'm sticking with it…
First of all, I have indeed been to the Kentucky Derby (which is, like, a WHOLE other story, and I’ll never write it as well as Hunter S. Thompson, so just read his). I watch it, and a number of races, every year. I used to run the Derby pool at the New York Daily News. Every first Saturday in May I make a mint julep (or three) and I yell at my TV for two minutes. Sometimes I win. Most often not. So I like the thing, is what I’m saying. This is not me parachuting in on March Madness office brackets using “distance-from-the-geographical-center-of-the-U.S” or “which-mascot-could-eat-which?” to pick a winner in a sport I am not familiar with, nor care about. I like it. Am I some kind of expert? Oh, helllll naw! This is literally for entertainment purposes only. But I ca…
Five years ago, Portland and Denver played an epic seven-game series in the Western Conference semifinals. Since then, the teams have gone in different directions. The Trail Blazers won the 2019 postseason matchup with an impressive Game 7 win on the road and went on to the conference finals. That marked the high point. In the years that followed, Portland has gone from contender to rebuilding, trading away Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic while the Nuggets reached the pinnacle by winning the title last season. Denver is in contention for its second straight championship while the Blazers are headed for their third straight year of missing the playoffs. Still, the rivalry is alive and will be rekindled Friday when Portland visits the Nuggets in the first of two games in…
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has been ruled out for Friday's game against the host Atlanta Hawks due to a sprained right thumb. Irving sustained the injury in Dallas' 119-110 setback to the Boston Celtics on Monday. The eight-time All-Star did not play in the Mavericks' 132-109 home loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Atlanta star guard Trae Young, who leads the team in scoring at 26.9 points and assists at 10.8, was placed in concussion protocol after the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday and missed the past two contests. Young also missed a Jan. 19 game with an illness. He is listed as questionable against the Mavericks. Irving, 31, averages 25.2 points, 5.3 assists and 5.1 rebounds in 27 games (all starts) this season for the Mavericks. …
