After a scintillating fight for the ages in May this year, Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley stage an unmissable rematch for the WBO heavyweight title on Saturday, live on DAZN PPV.Those who witnessed their thrilling first encounter will not forget the brutality they witnessed for a long time to come and the return at London’s O2 Arena is must-see tv.Given the respective brilliant knockout ratios and their penchant for violence, fireworks were expected in the first fight and it more than delivered on the hype.Wardley was the favourite last time, but now finds himself back in familiar territory of being the underdog and having to prove people wrong, something he did with great regularity on his rise up the ranks. The Ipswich man’s ascent from white collar boxer to world champion as a professional is a real-life ‘Rocky‘ story and he has delivered Hollywood moments aplenty already in his remarkable career.

Week 5 brings the NFL back to London, with the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that should tell us plenty about both teams’ ambitions. Elsewhere, divisional rivalries take centre stage as the Bears visit Green Bay and the 49ers travel to Seattle, while Houston head to Tennessee desperate to get their season moving. We’ll break down the key matchups, where the pressure is building, and which teams offer the best betting value as the early-season picture starts to become clearer. The primetime slate sees Baltimore visit Atlanta before Josh Allen and the Bills face Matthew Stafford’s Rams on Monday night—a fitting finish to a weekend packed with talking points. On this week’s show, we’ll separate the results that matter from the early-season noise, assess the strongest angles across the spreads, totals and player props, and deliver our best bets for NFL Week 5.

The Apple connect app is down, so I can't currently upload paywall content- which works out great for those too stupid to pay for this show.This episode features both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Real fell to a 2-1 defeat at city rivals Atletico in their last league game, leaving them six points shy of leaders Barcelona. Jose Mourinho’s side have work to do, and they need to dispatch a Villarreal side that has improved following their early struggles.

NFL Week 4 has a much more meaningful feel to it, with the early-season picture beginning to take shape. Rams v Eagles is arguably the standout game of the Sunday slate, with both teams looking to respond after Week 3 defeats, while Chiefs v Raiders gives us a major AFC West clash between two teams that entered the week unbeaten. Jaguars v Bengals is another excellent AFC matchup, and Buffalo will look to continue their perfect start at home to New England. The NFL also returns to London with Colts v Commanders, while Chargers v Seahawks and Broncos v 49ers strengthen a very good late window. Detroit travel to Carolina on Sunday Night Football before Falcons v Saints rounds out the week on Monday night. By the end of Week 4, we should have a far better idea which hot starts are legitimate and which struggling teams are already in serious trouble.

NFL Week 3 is headlined by a strong slate of heavyweight matchups, with Bills v Chargers, Ravens v Cowboys and Rams v Broncos all standing out. Buffalo will look to stay unbeaten against a Chargers side already under pressure, while Dallas face a major test against Lamar Jackson and Baltimore after an impressive Week 2 showing from Dak Prescott. Kansas City also travel to Miami looking to maintain their perfect start, with the Dolphins already badly needing a response. Elsewhere, Bengals v Steelers brings another physical AFC North matchup, while the week closes with Eagles v Bears on Monday Night Football. With unbeaten teams looking to establish themselves and several 0-2 sides already facing early-season pressure, Week 3 should give us a much clearer picture of who is genuine and who has simply benefited from a small sample.

It would be a major shock if Bayern Munich didn’t beat struggling Union Berlin comfortably in Friday night’s Bundesliga clash at Allianz Arena. Vincent Kompany’s side have been a bit off their best in the opening weeks of the campaign, which is perhaps understandable after a World Cup summer.Elsewhere, Stuttgart welcome Borussia Dortmund to the MHPArena for what should be one of the weekend’s most entertaining Bundesliga fixtures. Dortmund have made a perfect start, winning all three league matches and scoring three times in each of their last three games across all competitions. The developing partnership between Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva gives BVB enormous attacking quality, but they have looked vulnerable defensively when opponents have matched their intensity—conceding twice against both Hoffenheim and Villarreal. Stuttgart have lost two of their opening three league matches, although a schedule featuring Bayern and Hoffenheim away has contributed to that slow start. They have still scored in every competitive game this season, average around 1.7 xG per Bundesliga match and recently produced four goals against Köln at the MHPArena. With Stuttgart likely to attack aggressively in front of their own supporters and Dortmund carrying several threats in transition, this has the ingredients for an open, high-scoring contest.

The NFC had its fun — now it’s time for the conference where apparently every division contains somebody who thinks they’re winning the Super Bowl. We’re going through all 16 AFC teams, separating the genuine contenders from the annual September bullshit, and figuring out where the sportsbooks might have left us some money. Buffalo are still chasing the big one, Kansas City remain Kansas City, Baltimore have another loaded roster, and the AFC South is once again asking us to believe that this is finally the year somebody becomes trustworthy. We’ve got win totals, playoff odds, division markets and season-long bets, with absolutely no obligation to be polite about any of them. Are the Chiefs still kings of the West? Can Josh Allen finally drag Buffalo all the way? Are Houston ready to take another step? Which AFC North team survives the inevitable 17-game bar fight? And, most importantly, which teams are we betting on — and which ones wouldn’t get a penny of our money if they were playing against eleven traffic cones? 16 teams. Four divisions. Plenty of bets and probably several terrible takes. Welcome to the 2026 AFC Betting Preview.

The Bundesliga’s smallest ever team, Elversberg, will put their 100 per cent record on the line when they welcome 35-time German champions Bayern Munich to the Ursapharm-Arena on Sunday.Elversberg have not only achieved a fairy-tale promotion to the Bundesliga, they are thriving in it, starting out with back-to-back wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach, scoring seven goals in the process.That leaves them two points above Bayern in the standings, with Vincent Kompany’s side having been held to a surprise goalless draw by another of the newly-promoted sides, Schalke, last weekend having opened with a commanding 5-1 win over Stuttgart.
