Tonight’s Divisional Round odds matchup between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers wasn’t precisely how the preseason pundits drew this up. Still, it should be a fantastic game and a great finish to an exciting Saturday of football. 

The Green Bay Packers were written off after a 2-5 start but won five of their last six, including a 48-32 away victory over Dallas in the Wild Card round.

San Francisco currently headlines the latest Super Bowl odds, and star running back Christian McCaffrey led the NFL in rushing while leading the 49ers to the top seed in the NFC.

Find out where my NFL picks lie for McCaffrey’s props as we take a closer look at the NFL odds for Packers vs. 49ers on January 20.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone 3-0 to the Under this season and I’m expecting that trend to continue in Week 4 against the Colts. That said, the Detroit Lions are also 0-3 O/U and I’m betting on that trend to be snapped in my NFL picks for this week.

See why I’m making those plays while also betting on a shootout between the Panthers and Bengals with my favorite total bets for Week 4.

Lance Lynn attempts to trace the footsteps of fellow veteran righty Sonny Gray and break into the win column as the visiting St. Louis Cardinals go for a second straight victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night. Pitching at the site of his early career success, Gray dominated the series opener for six innings, shutting out his former team on four hits in a 3-1 Cardinals win. Lynn (0-0, 2.63 ERA) is coming off a strong effort, having held the Philadelphia Phillies to one hit over five innings of what turned into a 4-3 loss last Wednesday. He has allowed earned runs in just one of his three starts, including opening his season with four shutout innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers. With Lynn following Gray, who missed the opening of the season with a hamstring injury, in…

Adam Idah struck late as Norwich started life back in the Championship with a 1-0 win at Huddersfield. Idah scored nine minutes from time after Teemu Pukki pounced on a poor back-pass by Richard Stearman.

It meant defeat for Carlos Corberán in his first league match as Huddersfield manager, but the goal left his opposite number, Daniel Farke, “feeling good again” after last season’s gruelling run to relegation.

West Ham are confident of beating Crystal Palace to the signing of the Swansea City midfielder Flynn Downes. Palace had been leading the race to sign the 23-year-old, but West Ham are making encouraging progress in negotiations after acting on their interest.

David Moyes, West Ham’s manager, needs cover in midfield for Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek. He has seen a £20m bid for Amadou Onana rejected by Lille, who are understood to have demanded £60m for th…

On the day Chelsea were drawn to play the Eredivisie champions, Ajax, in the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League, Emma Hayes has revealed how her love of Star Wars is helping her navigate her final season at the club.

Chelsea’s manager, who will become head coach of the US ­women’s national team at the end of the season, was asked on Tuesday if her impending departure was giving her extra energy. “The Force ­Awakens, that gave me a lot of inspiration last night,” she said, smiling.

“And I’m certain the resistance continue to inspire and we can keep at bay that evil empire. For now, all I’m thinking about is I need to get on to The Mandalorian.”

Hayes, who has …
