2026 NFL Tips & Preview | Week 8

2026 NFL Tips & Preview | Week 8

• Nick Tedeschi
We are nearing the halfway mark of the season and a critical juncture for many teams sitting out of the division lead. Carolina off a loss are one of the best spread bets around and so it is this week when they go in notable underdogs at Lambeau against Green Bay. The Panthers have covered 13 straight off a loss, the longest streak in the Super Bowl era. Dave Canales is 16-5 against the spread as an underdog off a loss. The Packers are in a huge lay spot with home favourites with a point differential of seven or less…

2026 Rugby League World Cup Tips & Preview | Round 3

2026 Rugby League World Cup Tips & Preview | Round 3

• Nick Tedeschi
Six teams will bid farewell this week with both England and Samoa playing off for the last semi-final spot in what makes a mammoth weekend of Rugby League action. The situation heading into this week is now clear for England: they need Tonga to beat Samoa on Sunday night and overcome a 68-point differential difference if they wish to advance to the knockout stage, something they have done at all bar two World Cups. We have certainly seen a much more potent attacking side under new coach Brian McDermott and with a backline nearly complete with NRL experience and a…

2026 Women's Rugby League World Cup Tips & Preview | Round 3

• Nick Tedeschi
The women’s World Cup reached its midway point of the pool section with some key games on the schedule. There has been a clear gap between Southern Hemisphere teams and Northern Hemisphere teams with the NRLW far superior to the Super League. That is the key factor here with Samoa having 12 starters with NRLW experience compared to England’s three. Both nations thumped Wales but Australia had a much tougher time with Samoa than England. Samoa have won their last 11 against non-Australia/New Zealand opposition. Booming prop Laikha Clarke scored the opening try against Wales last week and comes off…

Seahawks vs Bears Prediction, Odds & Best Bets

• Nick Tedeschi
The Bears head to Lumen Field for Seahawks vs Bears in Week 8 on Tuesday 3 November, with kickoff at 2:15pm NZDT. Our prediction and best bets follow. Ben Johnson is unquestionably one of the best young coaches in the NFL and his strength comes in his preparedness and ability to put together a game plan that throws off teams not familiar with playing him. Johnson is a remarkable 14-2-1 against the spread in non-division games. Johnson is also 7-1 against the number in prime time games while favourites are on a 7-15 cover run in night games. This is…

Commanders vs Eagles Prediction, Odds & Best Bets

• Nick Tedeschi
Commanders vs Eagles gets underway at Northwest Stadium at 2:20pm NZDT on Monday 2 November. Here's our prediction, along with the tips and odds at TAB. Philadelphia’s season has completely imploded with five straight losses but against overvalued division rivals Washington they can cover the sizable start. This is a huge take-on spot for Washington. Home favourites with a points differential of seven or less are 46-75-3 against the spread with both teams in this spot failing to cover last week. Favourites have also covered just seven of 22 night games while Washington are 2-9 against the spread when playing…

• Nick Tedeschi
The Jets and the Raiders meet at MetLife Stadium on Monday 2 November (7:00am NZDT). Our Jets vs Raiders prediction covers both sides and finishes with our tips. The Raiders-Jets game is one of the least appealing affairs on paper but it does provide one of the best bets of the week as the Raiders look well placed to end a four-game losing streak. Teams off a loss of more than one possession playing on normal rest cover at 62% while this is a huge lay spot for the Jets, who are 3-12-1 against the number off playing in a…

Tonga vs Samoa Prediction, Odds & Best Bets

• Nick Tedeschi
Looking for our Tonga vs Samoa prediction? Tonga and Samoa meet at CommBank Stadium in Sydney on Sunday 1 November from 10:05pm NZDT, and our tips are below. Arguably the biggest rivalry in international Rugby League, Tonga and Samoa will wrap up the pool section of the World Cup with a game enveloped in rivalry, loathing and plenty of meaning. Tonga are already through to the semis while Samoa need to either win or lose and keep the current differential advantage over England intact. There is a lean towards Tonga in this one to exact revenge on last year’s Pacific…

Lebanon vs France Prediction, Odds & Best Bets

• Nick Tedeschi
Lebanon and France go head to head in Round 3 of the Rugby League World Cup at CommBank Stadium in Sydney on Sunday 1 November, with kick-off at 7:40pm NZDT. Our prediction and best bets follow. The decline of French Rugby League in France has been on show for all to see with Les Chanticleers conceding 78 and 82 points in two very poor showings that has sapped any remnants of confidence from the French team. Against a Lebanon team known for its toughness, that bodes very poorly. The Cedars have significantly more NRL talent and were very good against…

Australia vs Cook Islands Prediction, Odds & Best Bets

• Nick Tedeschi
Australia vs Cook Islands gets underway at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville at 10:05pm NZDT on Saturday 31 October. Here's our prediction, along with the tips and odds at TAB. Australia’s right edge has been a disaster this World Cup no matter who has played out there and with few options to adjust thanks to some moronic team selections, it provides a chance for the Kukis to get a try or two and bring the huge plus right into play. The Kangaroos are simply surviving on talent alone because this team is receiving just no coaching and is playing…
