After nearly a month, Patrick Mahomes finally put together a truly Mahomes-esque performance last week with a 32-for-42 showing for 424 yards and four touchdowns.
In Week 8 odds, Mahomes and the Chiefs will face off against the Broncos for the second time in three weeks, and although they walked away with a win last time, it wasn’t the prettiest offensive showing after only putting up 19 points.
Can Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs string together a performance more like last week’s? Or will the altitude and thin air deflate the Chiefs’ offense?
Continue reading to find out our favorite Patrick Mahomes props and NFL picks for Chiefs vs. Broncos on October 29th.

The Philadelphia Eagles head to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in what is the final game of Super Wild Card weekend.
The Eagles cruised through the first 12 games of the season before stumbling to a 1-4 record down the stretch. Jalen Hurts’ play has been sporadic and the defense has been gashed consistently.
Conversely, the Bucs come into this game as winners of five of their last six. They are NFC South champions and a team with plenty of confidence and momentum.
Can the Bucs’ good play continue? Or will the Eagles find a way to snap out of their funk?
While there are many different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Eagles/…

Willian is edging closer to leaving Chelsea on a free after rejecting the club’s latest attempts to persuade him to sign a new two-year deal and has held talks over a move to Arsenal.
The winger has been unable to reach agreement with Chelsea over fresh terms because of his demands for a three-year extension and is increasingly likely to leave after the second leg of the last-16 Champions League tie against Bayern Munich on Saturday. Although Willian is expected to delay a decision on his future until after that game, the chances of a breakthrough in negotiations with Chelsea are receding, boosting Arsenal’s hopes of signing the 31-year-old.

It is five years since Huddersfield Town’s last visit to Wembley, for a Championship playoff final shrink-wrapped in nerves that ended with a penalty shootout victory. After the victory the then captain and match-winner, Christopher Schindler, held court in the tunnel and elaborated on the team bond built by David Wagner, whose no-limits motto was plastered on personalised wristbands given to each player, fit with their initials and squad number.
On Sunday another tightknit Huddersfield side, this one led by the methodical Carlos Corberán, stand one game from returning to the Premier League. “The togetherness has been one of the keys to the highly competitive level of the squad,” the Spanish head coach says.

Mikel Arteta fears his Arsenal players have developed a psychological block in front of goal and has called on them to reset after Sunday’s 2-0 home loss to Liverpool in the FA Cup.
Arsenal dominated for the opening hour, spurning numerous chances – particularly in the first half. And they were reeled in by Liverpool who scored their goals late on; first through a Jakub Kiwior own goal and then Luis Díaz.
Arsenal have won only one of their past seven games in all competitions, with this a third defeat in a row – after those in the Premier League against West Ham and Fulham.

The word from Woj is that the Phoenix Suns have finally found a suitable trade partner for talented but grumpy point guard Eric Bledsoe, who hasn’t played for the team since tweeting “I don’t wanna be here” on October 22. Bledsoe appears to be headed for Milwaukee: In a vacuum, this is very cool. The young, talented, up-and-coming Bucks have just added a young(ish), talented guard who can fortify the team’s chances in what appears to be a wide-open race for the Eastern Conference title. Bledsoe’s talent is not in doubt, but he has yet to find himself in a situation that would allow him to liberate his skills. It’s very possible that he has a lot to give the Bucks. However! Bledsoe can also be cranky and ball-dominant, and those are two very risky characteristics to introd…
Some people are fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. This 2019 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Philadelphia Eagles. Your 2018 record: 9-7. Let’s see how it ended! Now it’s YOUR turn to be bereft on the turf Oh that’s right! You went up 14-0 on New Orleans and were in a prime spot to make it 21-0, and then you never scored again! And then Alshon Jeffery let the potential game-winning touchdown drive slip right through his fingers! Buddy, climbing greased poles is for FANS, not for you at halftime. This was a fitting end for an Eagles team that needed to win five of their last six games and get some outside help just to make the playoffs, a…
