The lines below are from the LVH SuperBook, as of today at 12:30 p.m. ET. Opening numbers are from when the LVH posted Week 1 odds in April. Packers at Seahawks Monday’s spread and total: Seahawks -5.5, 46 Opening numbers: Seahawks -5, 45 Notes: While Seattle can be found at -5, there have been some -6s out there as well, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see this number creep up ahead of kickoff....
Fuller’s pick, though, arrived with a little more than a minute to play and with the 49ers in desperation mode after giving up 21 unanswered points in the game’s final 6 1/2 minutes. He told Sporting News the moment felt “amazing,” but he felt the game was won well before he beat Niners receiver Deebo Samuel to Jimmy Garoppolo’s deep pass down the middle of the field. “They hit that deep ball to 10,” Fuller said when asked whether a specific play led the Chiefs to believe they could erase a 20-10 deficit in the fourth quarter, referring to quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ 44-yard strike to Tyreek Hill at the 7:13 mark....
The Catalan coach arrived in English football during the summer of 2016, having forged a reputation as one of the best managers in the business during stints at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. How City’s fans have wound up Pep Silverware was secured on a regular basis at both Camp Nou and the Allianz Arena, with Guardiola working with some of the finest talent in world football. Success was expected to follow him to the Premier League, but a tough start to his reign has offered a rude awakening....
For a study published in the journal Scientific Reports, a team of scientists analyzed the bones of 35 animals that were found at Navan—including, pigs, cattle and sheep. This analysis revealed that some of these animals had been transported to the site from locations more than 100 miles away. “Our results provide clear evidence that communities in Iron Age Ireland were very mobile and that livestock were also moved over greater distances than was previously thought,” Richard Madgwick, an author of the study from the University of Cardiff in the U....
The existence of ancient valley networks and lake deposits on the red planet indicate that liquid water was once abundant on the surface. However, scientists have not been able to agree on whether the climate was warm and wet, or cold and icy But now, findings presented at the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference in Barcelona on Monday by Briony Horgan have cast new light on Mars’ ancient climate, indicating that the Red Planet had one or more long periods dominated by rainstorms and flowing water, before the surface water froze....
Researchers published findings in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters on November 17 that showed ancient water trapped inside an iron pyrite framboid, so-called for its resemblance to raspberries. They were able to analyze what was inside the liquid pocket, allowing them to confirm that the water’s salt content matched the composition of the ancient ocean. One far-reaching impact of this study could be gaining further knowledge on how to safely store hydrogen fuel or other explosive gasses underground or in rocks....
One of the more creative strategies is offering different types of mutual-fund shares. These new classes of shares are generally used to snag customers who hate to pay upfront sales charges, known in the business as “loads.” You’ll know these new classes by the A, B, C or other letters affixed to a fund’s name. Same portfolio, same manager, but the fees for each class differ depending on who sells the fund and how he pitches it....
“Daredevil,” fashioned by writer-director Mark Steven Johnson from the Marvel comic, is an appropriately dark, doom-shrouded affair. Its depiction of the accident that cost 12-year-old Matt (Scott Terra) his sight, and his discovery that his other senses are working on superhuman levels, is both visually sophisticated and emotionally terrifying. But after grabbing our attention with considerable style, the movie proceeds, slowly but surely, to evaporate. The portentous angst of the grown-up Matt doesn’t mesh with the generic plot or the campy, broad-stroke silliness of the other characters: Jennifer Garner’s Elektra Natchios, kung fu expert and billionaire heiress; Colin Farrell’s flamboyantly fiendish Bullseye; Michael Clarke Duncan’s cigar-smoking archvillain Kingpin....
Did Clinton ever stop to consider the possibility of Benjamin Netanyahu? If so, did he see the irony? Because, in a way, ““Bibi’’ is the Israeli Clinton, a weird reverse-image Clinton. Not just because he’s the ultimate television performer, who waged the final battle of the campaign – last Sunday’s debate with the courtly, prolix Peres – on his home court: in the living rooms of Israel. And not just because Netanyahu’s knee-jerk bellicosity seems the Israeli analog to Clinton’s all-American empathy....
The former UFC middleweight champion stopped Ortiz in the first round with a counter right hand to improve to 2-0 in 2021. Ortiz, who was never known as a striker, had no business being in the ring with someone like Silva. He went after Silva early but was moving in slow motion. Part of the reason was Ortiz’s brutal weight cut; he attempted to lose 40 pounds in a month....
The 6-11 big man spent 11 full seasons with the Cavaliers before being dealt to the Trail Blazers on Feb. 18 in a three-team deal that involved the Magic, who sent Channing Frye to the Cavs. MORE: Must-see photos from the NBA Finals The Blazers unloaded a second-round pick to get a first-round pick and Varejao, who was immediately released. The Warriors picked him up four days later. Varejao became the first player to ever play for both Finals teams in the same season, all but guaranteeing him a ring....
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Hockey Canada for the opportunity to coach and represent Canada on the international stage,” Tourigny said Thursday in a statement provided by Hockey Canada. “In particular Tom Renney, Scott Smith and Scott Salmond, who believed in me and without their trust and support I would not be the person and coach I am today.

But just when the franchise QB will return to the field remains unclear, Reich admitted (via the Indianapolis Star). “I don’t know,” Reich said Thursday. “Haven’t even talked about it.” The lingering unanswered questions: When will the Colts know and how long before they will become uneasy with the uncertainty? The team already has announced that Luck will miss the preseason opener Aug. 8 at Buffalo, but Reich said at the time that the plan was to sit him anyway as the team continues to be cautious....
Yang, a 2020 Democratic candidate for president who is now running for Mayor of New York, said he is standing with Israel after Palestinian militants fired rockets from Gaza early Tuesday morning as Israel unleashed new air strikes which left 24 people dead, including nine children. Israel has denied the claims, saying they killed 15 Hamas fighters and that six Israeli civilians were hurt by retaliating rocket fire. “I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists,” Yang tweeted....
“And that number has a big ‘up arrow’ attached to it and then when we put this money into Americans’ hands where does the money go? It goes right back into the local economy to car repairs and little league sign-ups and daycare expenses—this is a trickle-up economy,” Yang added in the CNN segment called “Democrats vs. The Economy.” Yang’s “trickle-up” economic platform has caught on among Democratic voters as he has flipped the long-held Republican Party concept of creating more jobs in a way critics say comes at the expense of workers’ happiness and well-being....
The stock market experienced its steepest one-day slump since 1987 last week amid growing economic uncertainty.
