Jordan Love lit up the box score in his return last week, yet he and the Green Bay Packers were unable to get the win.
This Sunday they head West to take on the Los Angeles Rams, who are dealing with major injuries on offense and have failed to bottle up anyone on defense.
My Packers vs. Rams predictions expect Love & Co. to feast on the Rams’ shoddy stoppers, and I break it down below in my NFL picks for October 6.

My best betPackers -3 (-115 at BetMGM)
My analysis
While the absences of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua have headlined the Los Angeles Rams’ troubles this season, the bigger issue has been on the other side of the ball. The Rams’ defense has allowed an average of 28.8 po…
Yesterday, we told you the sad story of Sgt. Adam Knox, the Ohio State fan who was killed in Iraq over the weekend. HIs brother, regular Deadspin reader Tom Knox, writes about the infamous OSU Iraqi kids picture, his brother's obsession with getting to Columbus, watching Texas-OSU in Iraq and the tragedy of the last week. His words are below. I'm Tom Knox (commenter name: Christ Sabo). Deadspin has been a source of great pleasure for me in the last few months, whether it be commenting with the likes of giants such as UnsilentMajority or reading stories on the follies of my university, Ohio State. My most treasured moment, however, is when the story of my brother, Sgt. Adam Knox, was posted to Deadspin. The photo accompanying it was of a soldier with Iraqi kids posing with an O…
Steve Bruce has blamed a coronavirus outbreak at Newcastle United’s training ground in December for derailing the team and increasingly putting them in danger of relegation.
Since the virus swept through the club, sidelining key players including Allan Saint-Maximin and Jamaal Lascelles for several weeks, Newcastle have struggled. They prepare for Friday night’s game against Aston Villa at St James’ Park having won only two of their last 18 games in all competitions.
That run has seen Newcastle drop to 16th, a point ahead of Brighton – whom they visit next Saturday – and a resurgent Fulham. Their problems have also been exacerbated by the groin, hamstring and knee injuries which will sideline Saint-Maximin…
The Football Association is to create a women’s futsal national team for the first time as it tries to grow female participation and capitalise on the football team’s historic Euro 2022 success, the Guardian has learned.
An under-19s team will be set up, with the prospect of a full senior team coming later, and the men’s equivalent-age team will be relaunched to compete in the under-19s futsal European Championship qualifiers in January.
The move, described as a “game changer” for the women’s game in England, comes two and a half years after the FA axed nearly all funding for the Fifa-sanctioned five-a-side sport and was fined by Uefa for pulling the senior men’s team out of the Euro 22 qualifiers.

Riding a six-game unbeaten streak in MLS, leading the race for the Supporters’ Shield and with their star players featuring at the top of the goals and assists charts, all is well in the world of Inter Miami.
Yet little over a month ago, head coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino was on the hot seat. A humiliating 4-0 defeat to New York Red Bulls in late March was followed by elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup at the hands of Mexican side Monterrey in early April.
Former USMNT defender Taylor Twellman posted a damning statistic on X, comparing the Argentinian manager’s record in Miami to that of the man he replaced at Chase Stadium, Phil Neville.

For one of the two men who have made it to this year’s Name of the Year final, destiny awaits. By this time next week, Canadian hockey player Jimbob Ghostkeeper or California family practitioner Dr. Narwhals Mating will be etched in NOTY lore. By navigating another wildly competitive field, the 2018 winner will join an exclusive club—one that brings deserved glory, but also reflects the weight of owning a spectacular name. First let’s recap the paths our finalists took through the bracket. Ghostkeeper, who played a few games for the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers midget AA hockey team in Alberta, tore through the Bulltron Regional like a winger on a breakaway. The No. 2 seed skated past, in order, Travis-Couture Lovelady, Dr. Dimple Royalty, Mosthigh Thankgod, No. 1 Salami Blessing, a…
