Darren Huckerby, a former Manchester City forward (2000-03), has hailed City s top three strikers as world-class , but also added that Arsenal talisman Robin van Persie is better than the likes of Aguero, Dzeko, and Balotelli.

Understandably so, Huckerby had no problem calling Van Persie the best striker in the Premier League.

“Arsenal are at the top of their game at the moment and in Robin van Persie they have probably got the best striker in the league,” Huckerby told Goal.com.

“At this present time Van Persie would get into every single team in the Premier League as their first-choice striker.

“What makes him so special is that his movement is very good and there is no doubt about it, he really is clinical. I know he plays for a team…

In the age of instant information and deep-dive data, more and more bettors are turning to advanced analytics and computer modelling to point out their weekly NFL betting picks.

The Dallas Cowboys, anointed by some as the best team in the NFL just a few weeks ago, have lost their luster following two straight losses. Those came on the road, where Dallas has struggled all season, and they came to two quality opponents in the Bills and Dolphins.

The Cowboys will now return home, where they’re unbeaten in seven games this season, but waiting for them in the Week 17 odds will be a strong Lions team which has gone an impressive 6-2 away from home this season.

Without further ado, let’s break down the SNF odds and give you our best NFL picks for this special edition of Saturday Night Football.

Primetime games have been infested with backup quarterbacks all season long, and that won’t change tonight in Week 14 with Tommy DeVito set to start once again for the New York Giants. It’s perfect because on the other side, the Green Bay Packers will be tossing out one of the most scrutinized backups in the NFL over the last few years in Jordan Love, who has finally gotten the training wheels taken off in 2023.

All of the agonizing and second-guessing in Title Town over the Aaron Rodgers succession plan seems to have been for nothing, with the state of Wisconsin finding out the Love era could continue the franchise’s string of special quarterback play. 

You can see how I’m betting on the Jordan Love odds as we dive into the MNF od…

The Jacksonville Jaguars looked ready to make a run at the AFC elite through the first three months of 2023 before December decimated an 8-3 straight up and against the spread record in the opening 11 games. 

The Jags can either use their 1-5 faceplant to end 2023 as motivation for this upcoming year or let that late-season collapse set the tone for 2024.

Jacksonville doesn’t carry the same expectations as last year, forecasting to fight for second place in the AFC South with an 8.5 win total while giving points in just nine games. The schedule is also much stiffer than last season too, with several contenders sprinkled throughout and divisional foes like Houston and Indianapolis on the up-and-up.

“In the beginning, it was really painful to watch Tottenham’s games, really painful,” Mauricio Pochettino says, the emotion rising, seemingly out of nowhere. “Because when you feel a club is like home, it’s not easy to split from this feeling.”

It is Wednesday afternoon, Pochettino is zooming in from Paris Saint-Germain’s training ground and England is on his mind, partly because his team are at Manchester City in Champions League Group A this Wednesday coming. But mainly it is because of Spurs. “Today is 17 November,” the manager continues. “And in two days, it is the anniversary. The two years since we left Tottenham. It’s in my mind, no?”
