The Houston Texans currently sit atop the AFC South and Nico Collins has done the heavy lifting for the offense, entering Week 4 trailing only Malik Nabers in receiving yards.
My Jaguars vs. Texans predictions expect the star wideout to keep the production going when he takes on a Jacksonville secondary that has been getting picked apart.

Jaguars vs Texans prediction
My best betNico Collins Over 80.5 yards (-115 at BetMGM)
My analysis
Before the start of last year, Nico Collins was a relatively unknown player by most. A former third-round pick by the Houston Texans, Collins suffered from both injuries and poor quarterback play before being paired w…

Mikel Arteta admits he initially doubted whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would sign a new contract with Arsenal and that the player also had misgivings before being won round.
Aubameyang’s three-year deal was confirmed on Tuesday and put to bed months of speculation about the club captain’s future. It means Arteta can work in the knowledge he has retained his prize asset, but the situation when he took charge last December was less straightforward.

“At the start, when I joined, I wasn’t as positive as I was a few weeks ago,” he said. “Obviously financially we were in a position where it was difficult to ge…
Paul Pogba has completed his return to Juventus from Manchester United, the Italian club have confirmed.
The midfielder has signed a four-year contract having left United upon the expiry of his deal there. In a statement, Juventus said: “Paul is back in Turin. He left as a boy and returns as a man and a champion, but there is one thing that has not changed – the desire to write unforgettable pages of club history together once more. Pogba is back and we couldn’t be happier.”

Pogba made 177 appearances for the Bianconeri during his first spell there, winning nine major honours including four consecutive Serie A titles. He left t…
The organiser of Inter Miami’s ill-fated match in Hong Kong, in which star player Lionel Messi failed to appear, said it would offer refunds of 50% after the Hong Kong government as well as football fans harshly criticised the event. The refunds will cost Tatler Asia, a magazine and lifestyle brand, $56m HKD (£5.7m).
Messi’s failure to play in the much-hyped friendly match on Sunday, because of a groin injury, sparked outrage in Hong Kong, with fans booing the 36-year-old for not coming on to the pitch. The controversy intensified when he took part in a match in Tokyo on Wednesday.
Messi said in a Weibo post on Wednesday that the incident was “regrettable” and that he hoped to return to Hong Kong. “Friend…
Washington Commanders president Jason Wright, who in 2020 became the first Black man to hold that title in the NFL, will step down from his post at the end of the 2024 season. Wright, 42, will assume the title of senior advisor while focusing on the franchise's search for a new stadium site and stadium naming rights partner. "This feels like the right moment for me to explore my next leadership opportunity," Wright said in a written statement to The Washington Post. "I'm extremely grateful to my Commanders colleagues, our fans and this community for all that we have accomplished these past four years, and am looking forward to the start of a very successful season for the Burgundy and Gold." Per the newspaper, Wright informed members of the team's bus…
The English are the Chicago Bears of international soccer. Even though they basically created the sport, and have one of the biggest fan bases as well, they have sat by and watched others pass them as the game changed and evolved, still clinging to what they believed, all the while bleating about their divine right to attention and success. And much like the Bears, they only have a singular championship worth crowing about, which gets more and more faint and irrelevant in the rearview mirror. And as a fan of both, I guess I’m seeing how I got this way and will reference this to all the people close to me going forward to explain whatever fuck-up is soon to arrive. It really is something that England only has the 1966 World Cup to claim. Even worse, there hasn’t even been another fina…
A dominating defensive effort and a turnover-free evening helped Vanderbilt to an easy 55-0 victory over Alcorn State at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday evening. Vanderbilt held the visiting Braves to just 1.6 yards per play and six first downs (three by penalties) on 44 snaps. It was the Commodores' first shutout since 2019. Alcorn State didn't cross midfield all evening and had fewer yards of total offense (71) than Vanderbilt's Martel Hight (127) had on punt returns. Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia completed 10-of-13 throws for 83 yards and rushed 13 times for 51 yards and a score. He was replaced at the start of the fourth quarter by Nate Johnson, who raced for a 56-yard touchdown on his first snap. After the Braves' sixth drive of three play…
As established late last night, the Mets clinched the National League East last night behind the gorgeous athletic stylings of Jose Valentin. As you'd expect, the Mets fans are feeling all warm and fuzzy today, even if their spouses/significant others/imaginary friends weren't particularly excited about having cheap champagne sprayed all over the couch. • Faith And Fear In Flushing: "There was a final line drive and a lot of yelling and drinking of warm, properly smuggled champagne and a long, happy subway ride home with the exhilirated faithful. Tonight my 7 car was filled with booming Mets chants all the way to 42nd Street, despite various Met rooters being disgorged for the LIRR, the 4/5/6 and the B/D/F. They were still chanting on the 2/3 platform at 42nd, and I c…
Here we are. The La Liga season has just started up, and now we get to watch the league with the world's three best players, its two best teams, and the saddest hodgepodge of patsies since Enter the Dragon. In spite of these financial realities, Spain managed to produce Europe's wildest title race last season, as well as a handful of second-tier teams playing some of the best soccer you could see outside of the Champions League. Will this year match up?
As André from Outkast once said, "we-we-well, yes and no." As is customary in Spain, the rich stay rich, the pretty good get poached and have to rely on the country's seemingly inexhaustable farm of young talent to step up, and the bad are, frankly, godawful.
The pros: Each of the top three teams spent st…
