Playing without their star quarterback, the Chicago Bears is in a must-win situation when the face the embattled Minnesota Vikings.

The Golden State Warriors good start is a thing of the past after struggling in their recent games because of a slew of injuries. The Oklahoma City Thunder are starting to get healthy and appears to be back in contender form after a string of wins.

The Denver Broncos visit the Kansas City Chiefs in a Week 13 match-up and the result could very well decide who wins the AFC West, and maybe even the entire conference.

Have you ever imagined chess and boxing in one sporting event? Safe to say, it’s weird but interesting combination as witnessed in the recent World Championship Chessboxing in Moscow, Russia.

NBA prediction win-loss record climbed to 7-3 (70 per cent) after Wednesday’s 4-1 card. NBA games—spread and over-under totals—are tough to call but basketball viewing is more fun if you have a wager or two riding it. On to the picks and predictions for Friday when we have 13 NBA games on tap:

The Thunder trailed by three points at halftime. They turned it around after the break outscoring the Spurs 25-15 in the 3rd quarter. The Spurs made a run midway in the final canto but came up short.

Heat outscored the Cavaliers, 27-14 in the second quarter and never looked back. Dion Waiters scored a season-high 24 points off the bench for the Cavs but their starters could only produce 26 points and missed 29-of-39 shots from the field.

No thanks to an injury to star quarterback Aaron Rogers; the Green Bay Packers have not won a game in November. They’ll get one last shot for a win this month when they face division rivals Detroit Lions in an all-important game that could very well decide who wins the NFC North.

We went a so-so 3-2 for Tuesday’s NBA Picks but with a full slate of games in the league on Wednesday—13 games total, it’s time to bump that record to a more respectable level as we continue to try to beat the spread and bookies!

The Cleveland Cavaliers fans are acting like your typical jilted girlfriend; they can’t seem to let go even if the break-up was eons ago. She wants you back in your life despite the troubles and hurt during and after your time together (burning jerseys included) and she’s willing to give it another shot.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher David Price is in hot water after tweeting what was seemingly innocent post on Tuesday morning.

We’ve walked this path before. We tried to predict who will die first in a popular series via the betting odds available online. We know now too that we can earn some money off these deaths.

Now this is the John Wall the NBA fans have been waiting for. The Washington Wizards franchise player is apparently turning the corner—to superstardom, basing on his recent stats—and has towed the team back to respectability at this point of the regular season.

Four games on tap in the NBA on Tuesday night. Will the Brooklyn Nets continue to struggle when they face the Raptors in Toronto? Can the Warriors snap out of a recent funk versus the New Orleans Pelicans, which recently got embarrassed in San Antonio?

Sure, a franchise should be loyal to a guy who brought them multiple championships and is the face of the organization. But at what cost? How much should one pay for a 35-year-old who is coming off the first major surgery of his career with an injury which very few players have successful come back from?

When news came out that superstar point guard Derrick Rose suffered yet another season-ending injury, it wasn’t only the Chicago Bulls and their fans that became depressed, but the entire NBA followers as well.

The Portland Trail Blazers and the New York Knicks are two of the surprise teams this season. The Blazers have shocked the league winning nine of their 11 games off the gates for one of the best records in the entire NBA. The Knicks’ surprise, meanwhile, is of the bad kind: losing nine of their 12 games, overall the fourth worst in the entire league.

Armed with new weapons, the Dallas Mavericks (9-5) are off to their best start in ten years. On Monday night, they’ll take on the Denver Nuggets (6-6), which recently snapped the Mavs’ four-game winning streak.

Both Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III were pegged to become NFL’s best quarterbacks for years to come after excellent effort last season. Those remarks have became doubtful at this point of the regular season as both players came under fire for poor play for the better part of the year.

Based on the betting lines at sportsbet.com.au, it is more likely that the show will be canned before it becomes highest rated show for its timeslot:

It’s going to be a two-man woman race for the “Dancing with the Stars” Australia Season 13 title. No offence to Cosentino and partner Jessica Raffa, who according to the betting odds are heavy underdogs to beat Rhiannon Fish and Aric Yegudukin and Tina Arena and Damian Whitewood.

Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter two years ago and was sentenced to four years in jail. The shamed doctor of the deceased Michael Jackson was released three weeks ago after serving half of his sentence and he still steadfastly denied allegations that he had anything to do with the death of the most popular pop star in the music world.

Quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have met thirteen times in their careers. They meet for the 14th time Sunday night when the Denver Broncos visit the New England Patriots.

This should have been a marquee match-up between two of the best point guards in the NBA. Rather it’s appears to be a lopsided one when the Chicago Bulls visit the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday afternoon between one of the top-scoring teams in the league and one of the best on the other end.

Trevor Williams of the Sheridan Bruins hit step-back, fade-away, off-the-bank three-point game-winner with 3.5 seconds left to defeat the Humber Hawks, 73-72 in an Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) match-up last Tuesday.

The “Clash in Cotai” is two days away and the bets are starting to pour in for both Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios.

If you ask the basketball purists, they’d say that flopping in basketball is for sissies. If you ask Derek Fisher, Chris Paul, James Harden, Blake Griffin other master floppers in the NBA, they’d tell you it’s part of the (mind) game and they are just doing it to get the advantage to help their respective teams grab the win.
