Sellers' Market: USC QB puts Gamecocks on his back in win over Clemson
Penn State kicks off Sunshine Slam by cruising past FordhamIn Week 13 of the NFL season, we have arguably the next best game of the year, following the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs facing off earlier this season, as the Baltimore Ravens host the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are 9-2 this season and have won seven straight, while the Ravens are 8-4 and coming off a win on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers. Below, I’ll examine two storylines for this game, analyze the odds, and the best bets you can place across the best Pennsylvania sportsbooks. Can The Eagles Run on the Ravens? After breaking off for 255 yards in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley now leads the league in rushing ahead of Ravens running back Derrick Henry. Not only will the Ravens be motivated to slow him down to help Henry catch back up, but the Ravens allow just 77-9 rushing yards per game, which is second-least in the league. At home, they allow just 66.2 rushing yards per game. That’s the best mark for teams playing at home by a wide margin. Still, the Ravens will need to slow Barkley and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts has 11 rushing touchdowns this season, which is second most in the league behind only—you guessed it—Henry. This is a top-tier rushing attack from the Eagles. Eagles vs. Ravens odds The Eagles are 7-4 against the spread this season, while the Ravens are 6-5-1. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson leads the league in passing yards, but he has a tough matchup this week against the Eagles pass defense. Before I explore the Ravens storyline—examining if Jackson can throw on the Eagles—check out the point spread, moneyline, and total odds from the top PA sportsbooks . Can the Ravens Pass on the Eagles? Heading into Week 13, Jackson leads the NFL in passing yards with 3,053 and is tied for the most passing touchdowns with 27 through 12 games. He’s averaging 254.4 passing yards per game and 8.9 yards per attempt. This week, he’ll have to solve an Eagles defense that allows just 196.91 passing yards per game, which is second least in the NFL. On top of that, the Eagles have five interceptions over the last five games. In that same span, they’ve allowed just four passing touchdowns. They’ve held opposing quarterbacks to 250 passing yards or less in all but two games this season. Eagles vs. Ravens betting Before partaking in some Pennsylvania betting for this game and all other games on the Week 13 NFL slate, check out these two player props: Where: bet365 Sportsbook Why: Barkley heads into this game with 10 rushing touchdowns, including four over the last two games. The Ravens have a stout run defense, but they’ve allowed two rushing scores to the position over the last two games, including one last week to Chargers running back Gus Edwards. Barkley has had 22 carries or more in four of the last five games, and I expect him to have at least 20 carries once again. Bet it now: Saquon Barkley Anytime TD (+160) Where: bet365 Sportsbook Why: Before last week, Henry had scored in every game this season. However, he was stopped for just 24 carries and 140 rushing yards. The Eagles allow 4.4 yards per carry and have given up four rushing touchdowns to running backs this season, including two over the last two weeks. This is a clash between the two best running backs in the NFL, and they’ll both get plenty of work. As a side note, parlaying these two together provides +132 odds. This could be the preferred method over their individual lines. Bet it now: Derrick Henry Anytime TD (+135) The Eagles are underdogs on the road, but I think they’ll cover the spread. The Ravens pass defense has shown up the last two weeks, but against the Eagles and this sensational run game between Barkley and Hurts, I think we’ll see less crowding in the box, opening things up for Hurts to pass to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith if he comes back. As mentioned, the Ravens allowed a rushing touchdown to a running back last week. I think Jackson may have some trouble racking up passing yards against this Eagles defense that has some young talent in the secondary. Despite the Ravens being at home, I’ll take the underdog with points in a battle of two excellent teams. Don’t forget: the Eagles have won seven straight games.

After two grand final losses in the past three seasons, John Longmire is set to quit as Sydney Swans coach. Longmire, 53, is expected to confirm the news at a 1.30pm press conference, ending his 15-year coaching stint at the Swans. Senior assistant Dean Cox, who knocked back offers to join his old club West Coast after Adam Simpson was sacked, could be at the head of the queue to replace Longmire. The news comes with players back in pre-season training after the Swans were smashed by the Brisbane Lions in the AFL grand final. It was a fourth grand final loss for Longmire as coach, going down in 2014, 2016, 2022 and 2024. Longmire also tasted premiership success in 2012 among his 194 wins in 334 games in charge after taking over from Paul Roos. Longmire was contracted for the 2025 season but in the wake of the grand final humiliation, having finished the season on top of the ladder, questions were being asked about his ongoing tenure. The Swans will address the situation on Tuesday afternoon. More to come
