The Seattle Seahawks are looking for some Week 18 magic on Sunday to sneak into the playoffs, and it starts with taking care of business against the Arizona Cardinals.
A 30-23 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend was a hammer blow to Seattle’s postseason chances, and the Seahawks need a win here and a Green Bay Packers loss to the Bears to grab the No. 7 seed in the NFC.
Seattle enters as a road favorite in the latest NFL odds, but the 4-12 Cardinals are coming off their best win of the year — a 35-31 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles sparked by Kyler Murray’s three touchdown passes.
Check out our free NFL picks and predictions for Seahawks vs. Cardinals for a closer look at this Sunday, January 7 regular-season finale.

Newcastle United have announced they will refund anyone holding tickets for their remaining home games which will be played behind closed doors.
Although the move has been welcomed by fans’ groups, it is belated. Newcastle are the last club in the Premier League to have offered to reimburse supporters unable to attend St James’ Park in the wake of lockdown restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Steve Bruce’s side have five home league games outstanding as well as an FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City, and the Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) feels the club has dragged it feet over issuing refunds.
With 67 minutes gone at a breezy Etihad Stadium, on an afternoon that seesawed like a listing ship on a spring tide, Trent Alexander-Arnold could be seen twirling and jinking high up the pitch on the Liverpool right flank, a place he occupied for much of the afternoon.
Eventually his cross was cut out by a City foot. Kevin De Bruyne, who produced the perfect through pass for Raheem Sterling to skitter away upfield.

Sterling ran the length of Liverpool’s right flank, then stopped, twirled, stopped again, crowded out now by two red shirts. One of these was Alexander-Arnold himself, loping back in that dogged style, with the air even at top spe…

Poor Mystik Dan, who won the race the odds said he would not, then dropped the one the numbers crunchers figured he could.Two-and-a-quarter lengths.The distance between Mystik Dan merely being in the field for Saturday’s Belmont Stakes or being a thoroughbred running for history this weekend was relatively small. That was the colt’s gap behind Preakness Stakes winner Seize the Grey.Mystik Dan, the Kentucky Derby winner, was most certainly game on a muddy track in the Preakness, there was just no closing kick as the winner went wire-to-wire. And while there is no shame in completing the exacta of a Triple Crown race, the raw numbers are passing judgement now.After posting a 100 Beyer Speed Figure in the Kentucky Derby, Mystik Dan went backward with a 97 in the Preakness.Perhaps it was …
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 37 points to lead the host Oklahoma City Thunder to a 112-100 win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday night. The game marked the first regular-season matchup between the Magic's Paolo Banchero and the Thunder's Chet Holmgren, the top two picks in the 2022 NBA Draft. Banchero finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 draft who missed last season due to a foot injury, had 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Orlando cut what was a 16-point deficit to six on Cole Anthony's pullup jumper with 2:14 left in the game. Jalen Williams answered with a jumper on the next possession, sparking a 7-0 run for Oklahoma City, which has won four consecutive games and nine of its past 11.…
I remember I used to have a hard time waiting for the Oscars to arrive. I shit you not. I would get super jazzed for them, then roll my eyes at the prospect of having to wait for months between the end of the movie year and the stupid ceremony. I, uh, no longer feel this way. The Oscars come around now and I, along with the rest of America, go, “Christ, this again?” This is because I’m older and I’m jaded enough to know that the Oscars are garbage. They are the film equivalent of your boss giving you a new title instead of a raise. And, at age 42, I no longer need my favorite movies validated by a tacky statue voted on by a bunch of senile retirees. I can wait until the cusp of spring for this show. I can wait forever. What’s more, the Oscars have been victimized (loosest use…
Some people are fans of the Houston Texans. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Houston Texans. This 2016 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. And buy Drew’s new book here. Your team: Houston Texans. Your 2015 record: 9-7, including losing a game to a literally incontinent Matt Hasselbeck. The Texans won the AFC South thanks to Andrew Luck getting hurt and the rest of the division being an open sewer pit. But something is deeply, deeply wrong with the NFL when a team like this clinches a playoff spot after picking up 58-year-old Brandon Weeden at the bus station. You don’t want that to be one of the high points of your televised product. This team should have been quietly dispatched behind a maintenance facilit…
