After two weeks of results, it’s a real crap shoot outside of the Top 10 of the NFL power rankings, with some teams forgetting to get off the bus in Week 2 or just failing to protect multi-score leads. Quarterback issues are shaking up the standings while the Colts and Broncos continue to frustrate bettors. It would also be great if someone could protect Joe Burrow, starting in Week 3.
In games on a neutral field, every higher-ranked team would be favored or, at least, a pick ’em on the in this format. For two teams ranked closely together, the difference in the spread would be a home-field advantage (if any), which varies slightly from team to team.

Calum Chambers has agreed a two-year contract extension to keep him at Arsenal until 2021, the club have confirmed.
The versatile defender joined Arsenal from Southampton in 2014 for £16million after breaking through as a teenager and impressing under Mauricio Pochettino.
Initially he made a good start to life at the Emirates Stadium, playing 23 times in his first Premier League campaign at the club – one more appearance than he managed at Southampton the previous year.
However, the emergence of Hector Bellerin coupled with injuries and poor form meant Chambers became a bit-part figure at the club and he was sent out on loan to Middlesbrough last season, where he managed 24 league appearances in a campaign that ended in relegation to the Championship.

Borussia Dortmund may have reached the Champions League final last season, but they will not be taking the visit of Celtic lightly, so says Nuri Sahin.
The last time Celtic made it past the group stage in the competition was in 2013, but they have made an impressive start to this season, winning all nine games across all competitions, including a 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava.
Dortmund, runners-up to Real Madrid last season, have won three of their last four games in all competitions, though they were hammered 5-1 by Stuttgart on September 22.
We re talking about a team that hasn t lost a lot of games, that hasn t conceded in their own league, that was very dominant in their first Champions League game, Sahin told reporters ahead of Tuesday s match at Signal Id…

France boss Didier Deschamps insisted his side are far from a shipwreck after losing 2-0 to Denmark in their final game before heading to Qatar 2022.
Les Bleus will head into their World Cup trophy defence in November on the back of a poor Nations League campaign that saw them limp home third in Group A1.
Three losses in competitive matches since March means France have already matched their worst-ever record in that regard for a calendar year.
Having been tipped as strong contenders to be world champions again, France s second loss to the Danes in 2022 – ahead of a Group D battle between the teams in Qatar – has set off alarm bells among supporters.
Deschamps, who guided the team to glory at Russia 2018, has pushed back against suggestions his s…
Thiago Alcantara was delighted to secure Spain s progress to the World Cup after missing out on the finals in Brazil three years ago due to injury.
The Bayern Munich midfielder suffered a serious knee problem which ruled him out of the 2014 tournament, where the defending champions were stunningly eliminated in the group stages.
La Roja sealed their spot as Group G winners with Friday s 3-0 win over Albania, Thiago netting the third to cap a devastating opening 26 minutes in Alicante.
I m thrilled about the World Cup because I d already missed out on one due to injury, but a lot of work still needs to be done, Thiago said.
It s special because of the work carried out by this national team for the past year and a half, and through sacrifice and hard w…
