One of the biggest winners of Week 6 — both literally and figuratively — was the Detroit Lions, who stomped the Dallas Cowboys 47-9 and saw their Super Bowl odds shorten.
That was last week, however, as the biggest storyline for Week 7 is the New York Jets, who, after dropping to 2-4, just made a blockbuster deal to acquire Davante Adams in an effort to salvage their season.
Not to be outdone in the arms race, the Buffalo Bills went out and acquired WR Amari Cooper to bolster their receiving corps.
I look at how that deal moved their odds, as well as break down the NFL odds for the 2025 Super Bowl, which is slated for Sunday, February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

INDIANAPOLIS — Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy makes no apologies about his statistics falling short in a tale of the tape with the top-ranked passers in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he's ready to talk wins and losses. McCarthy exited Ann Arbor in January on the heels of a national title win over Washington and has lost only three games — one with the Wolverines compared to 27 victories — since he began his high school football career (34-2 as a starter). So what would an NFL team be getting if they went with McCarthy over the past two Heisman Trophy winners — Caleb Williams of USC and Jayden Daniels of LSU? "I would say, tough, gritty guy who only cares about winning at the end of the day," McCarthy said Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "Loves the game of …
Leon Goretzka could hardly have captured the mood any better. “We already have the feeling there is a certain euphoria after the difficult year and a half that is behind all of us,” the Germany midfielder said. “It’s just nice that we have 82 million national team head coaches again, rather than 82 million virologists.”
The Nationalmannschaft are gathering momentum in a major competition and, all of a sudden, there is a sense of nature’s equilibrium being restored. In common with much of central Europe, a country is being allowed out of its shell; Covid-19 rates in Munich are at their lowest for 10 months and, with many restrictions having been lifted, there is a wildness in the midsummer air. Add to the mix a football team that …
Goals from Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Victor Osimhen handed Napoli a 2-0 win at Salernitana 2-0 as they took another step closer to ending their 33 year-wait for a Serie A title.
Napoli controlled much of the game and Victor Osimhen thought he had given them a 35th-minute lead but was ruled offside by VAR.
The league leaders eventually went ahead during the first-half stoppage time when a cross fell to Giovanni Di Lorenzo who fired home. An unmarked Osimhen doubled the lead in the 48th minute when he tapped in a rebound after Eljif Elmas’ effort had come back off a post.

Regrets? Mikel Arteta definitely has a few, starting with Arsenal’s two defeats against Aston Villa last season. “They scored and we didn’t. Very simple,” was the manager’s analysis of both matches that saw Unai Emery’s side complete the double over his former club for the first time since the inaugural Premier League season in 1992-3.
Arteta was suspended for the 1-0 defeat at Villa Park – where his side return on Saturday evening – in December after being booked celebrating Declan Rice’s 97th-minute winner against Luton a few days earlier and admitted it had been a frustrating experience that he doesn’t want to repeat. “I didn’t enjoy it one bit,” Arteta said. “The moment I love the most during the week, you are…
Drafting is an inexact science. If it were an exact one, teams wouldn’t rely on so much vacuous football speak during the evaluation period. That uncertainty is what makes the draft an annual crapshoot. The 2023 edition is no different. After the top two picks, the draft pivoted into unpredictable territory. Over the course of three days, war rooms cobble together a strategy to fill in their most pressing needs. Others appear to be rolling the dice, ignoring gaping holes in their rosters, and making it up as they go. Those draft classes defy projections and common sense. Here are the teams whose war rooms made the most polarizing decisions of the year.

There has never been a bad Mission: Impossible movie. They’ve all been ridiculous. They’ve all strained credulity. They’ve all had dense, convoluted plots that don’t really stand up to any scrutiny. They’ve all functionally served as Tom Cruise stunt reels, the plots reduced to incoherent connective tissue propping up increasingly freaky stunt sequences. And yet they all fucking rule, even the second one, with its fantastical and unbound-by-physics John Woo fight scenes. The fifth installment, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, is out today. And even though I know nothing about the story, I do know it has Tom Cruise hanging onto the side of a fucking airplane when it’s taking off. That’s enough. I’m in. This is one of the most dependable blockbuster franchises going in …
It's customary at the dawn of a new year to pay homage to the people we lost in the previous one. But we're optimists at Deadspin. Here's everything we hope will die in 2014. The National Football League The NFL is awful.
