The Eagles humiliated Kansas City in Super Bowl 59, but don’t expect lightning to strike twice at Arrowhead. Patrick Mahomes has never started a season 0-2, and the Chiefs haven’t been home underdogs in the regular season since 2022 – for good reason. With the crowd behind them and revenge in mind, Kansas City should get payback against Philadelphia.

The Bengals may be 1-0, but the Cincinnati offense was lifeless in their narrow win over a dreadful Browns team, with Joe Burrow managing just 113 yards through the air. The Jaguars, on the other hand, looked balanced and competent, especially with a dominant ground game that racked up over 200 rushing yards. With Trevor Lawrence showing signs of growth and Jacksonville’s offensive versatility, the Jags are more than capable of staying within a field goal in this one.

Titans rookie QB Cam Ward struggled mightily in Week 1 and now faces a fast, aggressive Rams defense that should cause him all sorts of problems. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford looks healthy and sharp, and even an average offensive showing should be more than enough. Tennessee simply doesn’t have the firepower to hang, so expect LA to win and cover on the road.

The Giants’ offense was abysmal in their opener, and Russell Wilson already looks like a bad fit in New York. Meanwhile, Dallas hung with the Eagles in the series opener and has won 8 straight against the G-Men, holding them under 20 points each in each game. With the Cowboys back at home and desperate to avoid an 0-2 start, this feels like a clear bounce-back spot where they win by at least a touchdown.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford looks healthy and sharp, and even an average offensive showing should be more than enough. Tennessee simply doesn’t have the firepower to hang, so expect LA to win and cover on the road.

Mac Jones may be taking over in San Francisco, but in Kyle Shanahan’s system, he should at least be serviceable at quarterback. The Saints’ offense looked just as uninspiring, with Spencer Rattler averaging under five yards per attempt in a loss to Arizona. With a dominant defense and the better coach-quarterback combo, the Niners should control this one from wire to wire.

Allegri’s Milan have conceded just 0.5 xG across their first two games, suggesting the hosts are delivering the kind of solid defending their manager demands. Bologna lost five of their eight visits to sides above them last season, while they lost at Roma in their opening away game this season.

Lyon have made a perfect start to the new season with three wins in as many games. Les Gones won 4-1 when these sides last met in a reverse fixture in April and can claim maximum points at Rennes, who have made a mixed start to the new season (W1, D1, L1).

Valencia have conceded 15 goals across their last four visits to Barca, losing each of them. They were beaten at Osasuna in their first away game of the campaign. Barcelona are unbeaten after three games (W2, D1) and should be able to claim the points but Los Che can score in defeat as the Spanish champions were poor defensively against Levante and Rayo Vallecano.

Both teams have scored in three of Granada’s four games and in three of Leganes’. These two sides have just one clean sheet between them in eight games in total so goals at both ends looks likely here.

Monterrey have won six of their seven matches this season, scoring 17 times. However, they’ve conceded six times in four games on the road, while they head to a Queretaro side who have netted six times in three home games, only winning once.

The hosts can end their recent run of losses when they host a Llaneros side who have lost three of five trips this term. The visitors have been beaten in their previous two on the road, while Deportivo Pereira have won three of their five home matches so far.

Monterrey have won six of their seven matches this season, scoring 17 times. However, they’ve conceded six times in four games on the road, while they head to a Queretaro side who have netted six times in three home games, only winning once.

Tijuana have scored twice or more in each of their previous four matches, while they head to an Atletico side who have seen BTTS in three of their last four. Both sides are creating chances and struggling defensively, so back both sides to score.

Vasco have conceded in all but two of their home matches, leaking four goals in five meetings with the bottom eight. Ceara have struggled on the road of late, while they’ve shipped 1.2 goals per game on their travels.

Arsenal won six of their eight League Phase games last season, while they conceded only three times along the way. Athletic Bilbao were beaten 1-0 at home by Deportivo Alaves at the weekend, so back Arsenal to build on their strong Premier League form.

Slavia Prague struggled in the Europa League last term, failing to win a home game. Bodo/Glimt have won 10 of their last 12 games, so back the Europa League semi-finalists to secure the three points.

Leverkusen won their first game since Erik ten Hag’s departure, beating a good Eintracht Frankfurt side 3-1. Danish boss Kasper Hjulmand faces his second game in charge in his homeland, facing a Copenhagen side that struggled to hold their own in the Conference League last term.

Cagliari were impressive away to the weaker sides in Serie A last term, while Lecce have lost back-to-back games, scoring once this term. Back the visitors to secure a second win on the bounce.

Unbeaten Gillingham have won five of their last eight, while Newport are third bottom after losing three from four at home this term.

Mallorca have already lost to Barcelona and Real this term, while Atletico claimed their first win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Villarreal last weekend.

Sheffield United have lost all five games they’ve played this term, including losses to nil in each of their last three. Ipswich have performed well without getting results, so back them to secure the three points.

Partick have won seven of nine games so far this season, including four wins from five at home. Their opponents have lost to nil in their first two league trips.

Aston Villa are yet to score across their first three games this season, so back a buoyant Everton side to secure the points.

Swansea have been good at home under Alan Sheehan, while Hull have lost back to back games and the Tigers have leaked 12 goals across their last four games.

Utrecht have won their two home league games this season, while they meet a Groningen side who lost all 12 trips to sides above them last term, while the visitors have been beaten in both trips this season.

Toulouse should fall short away to a strong Lille side on Sunday. The hosts won 11 of their 17 home matches last term, while their opening home game this season brought a 1-0 victory against a strong Monaco side.

Southampton have scored in all of their games across all competitions and both teams have scored in all of their league games. Portsmouth are also yet to draw a blank so backing both teams to score looks a strong option here.

Barcelona are hosting this game at their 6,000-seat youth team stadium, having conceded 3.99 xG in their last two La Liga outings. The Spanish champions were poor defensively against Levante and Rayo Vallecano, so back Valencia to take the chances which fall to them.

Manchester United conceded in all three games of the Premier League Summer Series, against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton, while they remain without a clean sheet in four competitive games this season, shipping twice to Grimsby and Burnley. Both teams have scored in four of the last five Manchester Derbies across all competitions and goals at both ends looks likely here.

Metz have conceded in every game this season and their defence remains fragile, while Angers have just one clean sheet in their last seven away games stretching back to last season.

Both teams have scored in three of Granada’s four games and in three of Leganes’. These two sides have just one clean sheet between them in eight games in total so goals at both ends looks likely here.

Taty Castellanos was Lazio’s star performer in the win over Verona with a goal and two assists. The Argentine forward can add to his account at Sassuolo on Sunday.

Gladbach’s Haris Tabakovic looked sharp without scoring against Hamburg and can open his account for his new club with an anytime effort against Bremen.

Bradley Barcola scored in PSG’s win over Toulouse and was also on target over the international break for France. He comes into this game in form and looks a good contender for an anytime effort.

Dominik Szoboszlai has scored two goals in his last five Premier League games and may now have inherited free-kick duties at Anfield. He could also be moved back into midfield after Conor Bradley’s return to fitness after recently serving as a right-back.

City striker Erling Haaland has three goals in as many Premier League games this season and enjoyed a productive international break, scoring six goals across two games for Norway. He is the clear standout pick for an anytime effort in the Manchester Derby.

Liverpool have lost three of their last five Premier League away games, beating Leicester and Newcastle by one-goal margins in that sequence. Arne Slot’s men struggled to impose themselves on low-block, low-possession sides last season and may face one again in a Burnley side that have not lost a league game at Turf Moor since May 2024 and avoided defeat by more than a goal in five of their last six Premier League home games.

Manchester United conceded in all three games of the Premier League Summer Series, against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton, while they remain without a clean sheet in four competitive games this season, shipping twice to Grimsby and Burnley. But the counter-attack remains a potent weapon against City, suggesting this should be entertaining.

Udinese look the bet to take all three points away at Pisa. The visitors stunned Inter with a 2-1 win two weeks ago, ending their opponents’ unbeaten run, and arrive in good spirits. Pisa, meanwhile, have taken just one point from their opening two games and now face an Udinese side in confident mood.

Real Betis should be backed to claim victory at Levante on Sunday. Manuel Pellegrini’s side are unbeaten in front of goal, scoring in 31 of their last 33 Primera Liga matches, while Levante have lost all three of their games this season. The hosts’ fragile defence, conceding at least twice in every outing, adds to Betis’ appeal.

The visitors should prove too strong and as Celtic have kept clean sheets in all four of their league games this season they can take the points at Killie without conceding.

Racing Santander should win this with room to spare. They’ve scored multiple goals in all four of their games this season (all wins) and have won by more than one goal in two home games, while Cultural Leonesa have just one point on the board and have failed to score in three of their four outings.

Fresh from winning at Inter Milan before the international break, Udinese can follow up with another away success, this time at newly promoted Pisa, who are yet to win since returning to the top flight.

These Bundesliga rivals have both taken one point from their first two league fixtures, but that’s about where the similarities end. Gladbach’s two games have produced just a solitary goal whereas there have been 11 in Bremen’s games against Frankfurt and Leverkusen. The visitors will need to tighten up at the back going forwards – seven of those 11 goals have been in their net – but they have at least shown that they possess an attacking threat, something which cannot be said about goalless Gladbach.

St Truiden have claimed a massive 14 points from their opening six games to leave them second in the standings. They have won all three home games by an aggregate scoreline of 7-2, and they look good value to beat a Westerlo side that have lost both Jupiler League away days this term, conceding nine goals in the process.

Lyon have yet to concede in Ligue 1 wins over Lens, Metz and Marseille and they should be able to build on that strong foundation by claiming another three points at Rennes.

Barca’s defensive issues are mounting. Playing this fixture in front of a heavily reduced crowd takes away their home advantage, but they remain too strong going forward for Valencia to stop.

Gijon have won their last five home games going back into last season, and they did the league double over the visitors last term. Burgos have three defeats and no wins in their last seven trips in a run stretching back to March and they’ve failed to score in four of those fixtures.

PSG have made a perfect start to the season with three wins in as many games and they can extend that streak against Lens. However, the visitors arrive in reasonable form themselves and they have scored in each of the last two meetings so back Lens to strike in defeat.

Allegri’s Milan have conceded just 0.5 xG across their first two games, suggesting the hosts are delivering the kind of solid defending their manager demands. Bologna lost five of their eight visits to sides above them last season, while they lost at Roma without scoring in their opening away game this season.

Lazio were among the best travellers in Serie A last season and they can back up their 4-0 win over Verona last time out by seeing off Sassuolo, who have lost both of their league games this season.

Racing Santander should win this with room to spare. They’ve scored multiple goals in all four of their games this season (all wins) and have won by more than one goal in two home games, while Cultural Leonesa have just one point on the board and have failed to score in three of their four outings.

Valencia have conceded 15 goals across their last four visits to Barca, losing each of them. Barcelona have scored more than twice in two of their three La Liga games this season.

Gadbach are yet to score in the league this season but they should be able to end their wait for a few goals as they face a Bremen side who have shipped seven goals across two Bundesliga outings. Over 3.5 goals has landed in each of the last seven competitive meetings between these two sides and that pattern is expected to continue on Sunday.

Brest are a strong shout to get their first Ligue 1 win of the season when they host Paris. The visitors have struggled at the back, conceding heavily in their opening fixtures, and Brest’s home record is encouraging with only one defeat in their last eight games at Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Osasuna look the best bet when they host Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. They have won their last five home games in the Primera Liga and lost just one of their last ten at El Sadar. Rayo’s defence is a worry, with three straight away games without a clean sheet, leaving the hosts favoured to edge this.

Gijon have won their last five home games going back into last season, and they did the league double over the visitors last term. Burgos have three defeats and no wins in their last seven trips in a run stretching back to March and they’ve failed to score in four of those fixtures.

Strasbourg look the bet when they host Le Havre on Sunday. The hosts have made a strong start with two wins from three and have claimed five victories in their last seven Ligue 1 home games. Le Havre’s defence remains a major concern, with no clean sheet in 24 of their last 25 top-flight outings.

Taty Castellanos was Lazio’s star performer in the win over Verona with a goal and two assists. The Argentine forward can add to his account at Sassuolo on Sunday.

Gladbach’s Haris Tabakovic looked sharp without scoring against Hamburg and can open his account for his new club with an anytime effort against Bremen.

Bradley Barcola scored in PSG’s win over Toulouse and was also on target over the international break for France. He comes into this game in form and looks a good contender for an anytime effort.

Lazio were among the best travellers in Serie A last season and they can back up their 4-0 win over Verona last time out by seeing off Sassuolo, who have lost both of their league games this season. A Lazio win is expected but they may struggle to keep a clean sheet. Sassuolo scored twice in defeat to Cremonese last time out and Lazio have conceded in six of their last nine away games. A 2-1 away win has a chance.

Lyon are yet to concede and may need a clean sheet to edge out Rennes, who conceded just 17 goals in as many home games last season. The visitors have won 1-0 twice this season and can pick up a third win by that scoreline on Sunday evening.

Lazio were among the best travellers in Serie A last season and they can back up their 4-0 win over Verona last time out by seeing off Sassuolo, who have lost both of their league games this season. A Lazio win is expected but they may struggle to keep a clean sheet. Sassuolo scored twice in defeat to Cremonese last time out and Lazio have conceded in six of their last nine away games. 

PSG have made a perfect start to the season with three wins in as many games and they can extend that streak against Lens. However, the visitors arrive in reasonable form themselves and they have scored in each of the last two meetings so back Lens to strike in defeat.

Valencia have conceded 15 goals across their last four visits to Barca, losing each of them. They were beaten at Osasuna in their first away game of the campaign. Barcelona are unbeaten after three games (W2, D1) and should be able to claim the points but Los Che can score in defeat as the Spanish champions were poor defensively against Levante and Rayo Vallecano.
