This week, my NFL player props spotlight is going to keep it simple. Just as Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel will keep it simple.

Just like famed early-2000s rapper Obie Trice kept it simple for his entire rap career (which may or may not have spanned a whole four years):

“Real name. No gimmicks.”

The real name we’re speaking is King Henry, and there are no gimmicks behind what Vrabel will do tonight — run Henry all game long.

My colleagues Jason Logan and Josh Inglis both had a cheesy flavor to their Titans vs. Packers betting preview and TNF player prop picks — but in this space, I’m all about Derrick Henry props.

So let’s Escalade to the nearest Super 8 and get straight to business, as my free NFL picks like the Titans’ m…

NFL moneyline betting is the simplest way to wager on pro football, asking bettors to pick which team they believe will win the game.

Betting the NFL moneyline doesn’t require a team to win or lose by a certain number of points, keeping things neat and tidy – especially for those new to betting on football odds. A 30-point blowout or a one-point squeaker all count the same.

We run you through how NFL moneyline betting works, what the moneyline odds mean, and some essential tips and tactics for betting moneylines in the NFL.

How betting the NFL moneyline works

As mentioned above, betting football moneylines is very straightforward: bet on the team you think will win the game.

“Dilly-ding, dilly-dong!” Watford fans are going to hear that phrase a lot over the coming months. Claudio Ranieri returned to the Premier League this week after Watford took the decision to relieve Xisco of his duties following their 1-0 defeat to Leeds on Saturday. Watford-manager-sacking season arrives earlier each year it seems.

The Pozzo family have made 15 managerial appointments since they took over Watford in June 2012 and dispensed with Sean Dyche. Xisco is the latest boss to be sent packing even though he won promotion from the Championship at the first time of asking and took the club to 15th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone. Granted, they have lost four of their first seven matches back in the Prem…

Ruthless Chelsea have title in their sights

Ruthless is a word that has been bandied around many a time to describe this Chelsea side. Their first-half display against Everton encapsulated why. Five shots on target, five goals scored were the stats at the break as the Blues eventually cruised to a 7-0 victory. Emma Hayes’s options in attack are enviable. Guro Reiten and Sam Kerr got one apiece, a partnership up front that has defined their season. When Kerr was forced off early, on came Pernille Harder to score with her first touch. The Denmark captain has been missing for much of this campaign with a long-term hamstring issue but announced her return in style with a double and a player-of…

Eagles defensive end Chris Long— who skipped the Patriots’ White House visit and supported teammate Malcolm Jenkins’s anthem protest earlier this year—said today that he would be using the rest of the season’s game checks to start the Pledge 10 for Tomorrow campaign. Long will donate the money to “organizations supporting educational equity and opportunity” based in the three cities he’s played in: St. Louis, Boston, and Philadelphia. He used his first six game checks to fund scholarships in Charlottesville, Va., which means he will use his whole 2017 salary to educate others. Long is in the first year of a two-year, $4.5 million deal with the Eagles, and his base pay for the year is $1 million. “I’m playing the entire 2017 NFL season without collecting income bec…
