News to Sports blog featuring interesting and humorous news stories and videos from a fan's point of view.
The focus will be on the Baltimore Ravens, one of the most competitive NFL teams with fans across the globe. Over the years, the Ravens have had their fair share of bad luck with their players suffering horrible injuries.
J.K. Dobbins’ accident is one of the few recent injuries in sports that had sports betting fans shaking. The former running back from Ohio State suffered one of the worst season-ending knee injuries which, according to the MRI, entailed a torn ACL. The injury occurred on a Saturday night in the preseason when the Baltimore Ravens were playing against the Washington Football Team. Even though Baltimore ended up winning the game 37-3, it was evident that they were not going to have one of the youngest running backs in the NFL available for the entire 2021 regular season.
Despite being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as a second round draft pick, Dobbins had proven to be among the most promising players on the NFL. In 2020, J.K. Dobbins made nine touchdowns and ran 805 yards, making him one of the best players on the team. Dobbins was the second ex-Buckeye to experience a season-ending ACL injury prior to the 2021 season after linebacker Raekwon McMillan suffered a torn ACL in a preseason practice for the New England Patriots.
Gus Edwards, born in Liberia, suffered a season-ending knee injury in preseason practice. The practice was ended given that Edwards was the second Ravens player to suffer a serious knee injury during the practice session. After the practice, it was confirmed that Edwards had a torn ACL. Edwards was poised to lead the Ravens backfield as they headed into the 2021 regular season after Dobbins went down with his season-ending knee injury. Edwards is considered one of the most prolific players despite being signed as an undrafted free agent. The injury crippled the Ravens, with Edwards being added to a long list of players on injured reserve.
In 2001, Jamal Lewis tore his ACL during a preseason practice. What made Lewis’ torn ACL one of the most horrific injuries for the team is that it robbed the Ravens the chance to win another Super Bowl. At first, the medical team available during training diagnosed the injury as a bruise, and Lewis walked off the field holding his kneecap. However, after an MRI, it was discovered that Jamal Lewis tore his anterior cruciate ligament, making it impossible for him to lead the Ravens through the remainder of the season.
According to then Ravens coach Brian Billick, Jamal had worked so hard for the season. Furthermore, he was their most important player, which is why his ACL injury was a hard hit for both the Ravens' players and fans. Even though he missed the entire season, his recovery was incredible, as he came back to lead the NFL in rushing with over 2,000 yards in 2003, falling just short of the NFL single-season record for rushing yards.
The Baltimore Ravens seem to suffer more torn ACL injuries than most teams in the NFL. During the 2021 preseason, the veteran defender L.J. Fort tore his ACL while playing against the Carolina Panthers. The season-ending injury saw the linebacker pave the way for Kristian Welch, who is entering his second year in the NFL. According to the latest player contract details, L.J. Fort had just signed a 1-year contract with a substantial veteran salary. The injury also meant that linebackers Chris Board, Patrick Queen, and Malik Harrison would be considered to help the Ravens battle through the coming games.
Fort is a former Northern Iowa player who in 2012 was signed as a linebacker by the Cleveland Browns. After playing for several teams, Fort signed a contract with the Ravens in September 2019, later extended in November 2019.
Rashod Bateman is a former University of Minnesota football player drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft. He is also among the players who suffered one of the worst injuries in the history of the Ravens. Though not career-ending as Alex Smith's gruesome leg injury, Bateman’s torn groin is one of the injuries that handicapped the Ravens. Bateman was placed on the injured reserve after he suffered the groin injury during preseason practice. The injury required surgery, which despite going perfectly, required the wide receiver to take some time off the field. Fortunately, Rashod Bateman received the injury shortly after the roster cutdown deadline, or else it would have led to the end of his season. Bateman’s injury posed a challenge to the Baltimore Ravens passing attack.
Ronnie Stanley was done for the season in 2020 after he fractured and dislocated his ankle. The offensive tackle suffered the injury while playing the Steelers. The injury of the ankle was termed serious but not career-ending, as he was placed on injured reserve.
Ironically, Stanley suffered the injury just a few days after he had signed a $98.75 million five-year contract extension with the Ravens. According to coach John Harbaugh, Stanley is one of the best offensive tackle players in the NFL with stunning statistics, leading to the massive contract compared to some of his fellow teammates. Stanley began his football career at Notre Dame. He was selected by the Ravens as the 6th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft. In 2019, Stanley earned first-team All-Pro honors.
Nick Boyle is one of the top players for the Ravens, known for his fantastic tight end play. However, on November 15, 2020, Nick Boyle was carted off to the locker room after being tackled at the knees while catching a short pass while the Ravens were losing to the Patriots. Before exiting, Nick Boyle had made only a single catch for four yards. After diagnosis, it was ascertained that the helmet to Boyle's ankle damaged his hamstring, MCL, and PCL, ending his season. He was placed on the injured reserve for the remainder of the 2020 regular season and remained on IR to start the 2021 season. Even though there were no damages to his ACL, the rest of Nick Boyle's knee was seriously damaged.
These are some of the worst injuries in the history of the Baltimore Ravens. In addition to being traumatizing, it required some of the best players to be placed on injured reserve, putting the team at a disadvantage. For instance, the injuries for players such as Stanley, Dobbins, and Lewis saw the team lose key players at critical positions, thus weakening the team’s lineups. While most of the injuries occurred on the field due to collisions between players, others happened during training camp. Regardless of where and when the injuries occurred, they had a significant impact on the team and the players as well.

Yet, there are so many players on the field, and for newbies to American football, understanding who is who and what position does what is no easy feat. However, it need not be so tricky.
One of the simplest things to understand about American football is that there are two primary components to each team: offense and defense. The offense tries to work their way down the field with the ball to the other team's end zone to score a touchdown. The defense attempts to stop their opposition from scoring.
It is really simple when you become familiar with it, and we will make it easier for you by explaining the offensive and defensive positions on every American football team.
The offense controls possession of the football and moves the ball down the field towards the opposition's end zone in order to score, either via a touchdown or by kicking a field goal.
The quarterback is the leader of the offense and is considered the focal point of the team. You could say they call the shots as they call the plays in the huddle. They will call signals at the line of scrimmage and then receive the ball from the center. Once he has the has the ball, the QB will hand off the ball to a running back, throw it to a receiver, or run with it themselves.
The center is the player who snaps the ball to the quarterback at the line of scrimmage. They handle the ball on every single play and block for the quarterback and running backs.
The running back is a player who will run with the football. They are also sometimes referred to as tailbacks, halfbacks and rushers.
A fullback is a player who is responsible for blocking for the running back. They are also responsible for pass-blocking in order to protect the quarterback too. They are generally bigger than running backs. They may also carry the ball on short yardage plays.
A wide receiver is a player who uses their speed and agility to elude the opposition's defenders and catch the football. Teams will often use as many as two, three or four wide receivers on every play. They are usually tall and fast, and their main job is to run pass routes and find an open spot on the field to catch passes, although they may occasionally be called on to block. They are generally lined up split wide near the sidelines at the start of a play.
The tight end is a player who will serve as a receiver and as a blocker. This player will line up beside the offensive tackle on either side of the quarterback. Tight ends are often considered to be hybrid players, as they are a cross between a wide receiver and an offensive lineman. They help with blocking on running plays and serve as an extra receiver on passing plays.
The left and right guards are two inner members of the offensive line. It is their job to protect the quarterback and the ball carriers. They not only protect the quarterback from incoming defensive linemen during pass plays, but also create openings for the running backs to head through.
The left and right tackles are the two outer members of the offensive line. Their job is basically to protect and to block, keeping defenders away from the offensive player who has possession of the ball, thus enabling him to advance the football down the field in order to score.
The defense in American football attempts to prevent the opposing offense from scoring points by intercepting the ball, tackling runners and generally stopping them from moving the ball closer to the end zone and creating a scoring opportunity.
The defensive tackles are the inner members of the defensive line. It is their job to hold their ground in order to stop a running play, or to run through a gap in the offensive line and pressure the quarterback, or disrupt the backfield.
The defensive ends are the outer members of the defensive line. Their job is to power through the blocking of the offensive linemen to tackle either the ball carrier or the quarterback. On running plays to the outside, they are responsible for forcing the running back out of bounds or back inside towards their defensive teammates.
Linebackers are the players who line up behind the defensive linemen. They are typically considered the team's best tacklers and one of them usually calls the defensive formations before each play. Depending on the defensive line formation, most teams will employ around three or four linebackers on each play. They will divide their responsibilities in defending the run and the pass.
Safeties are players who will line up the deepest in the secondary and serve as the last line of defense. There are free safeties and strong safeties. Their primary role is to defend the deep pass, with the strong safeties helping out on run plays.
The cornerbacks are players who line up on the wider parts of the field, typically opposite the offensive receivers. They cover the receivers, defend against the pass and make tackles. They may also blitz the quarterback and defend against offensive running plays such as sweeps and reverses. They can create turnovers through hard tackles, interceptions, and deflecting quarterback passes.

The usual betting types are great, but those outside the scoring of the game are even more fun. Do you have a favorite player? Can you anticipate who will break records, or who will come out at the end of the season as a big dog? Start by picking a player and place your bets, because there are a whole host of stellar NFL players to place bets on.
What are we talking about? We are talking about prop bets. These are bets that have nothing to do with the outcome of a game. Prop bets are popular during the Super Bowl as they can be about the result of the coin toss and other non-scoring related parts of the game. Yet, we really want to talk about player prop bets targeted towards player performance. Player prop bets can be on anything, including rushing yards, passing yards, touchdowns, sacks and so on.
There are so many options when it comes to prop bets, but player futures are some of the most popular. We have already spent some time looking into them, including what and who we think will be taking this season by storm and which prop bets on which players will be the best.
We have compiled a list of the best player future prop bets to look into. Of course there are many, but we think these will have traction this year.
We have Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson at 25-1 and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott at 25-1. Wilson was the favorite to win MVP during the first half of last season before falling short towards the end of the year. He had so much support during his hot streak last year and every pundit was wondering how he never earned a single MVP vote.
Prescott can be considered as another mid-tier option. He has put up MVP worthy stats, and despite missing most of last year due to a leg injury and suffering a scare in training camp, he is now healthy and ready to rock.
We have Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt at 10-1, Broncos edge rusher Bradley Chubb at 60-1, Seahawks safety Jamal Adams at 80-1, and Buccaneers' linebacker Devin White, also at 80-1.
The typical formula for this award is to find a team that exceeds expectations behind a stellar defense that makes up for a mediocre offense, then pick the unit's best player.
Both Watt and Chubb fit this perfectly. Adams and White are on teams with competent offenses, but still have a good shot at this trophy.
For this, we have the Steelers running back Najee Harris at 28-1, and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson at 70-1. It is unusual for a QB to be in the discussion for rushing yards. However, Jackson could well be the first QB to win the NFL’s rushing title, and it is probably more likely than his 70-1 odds would have you think. Jackson actually finished in the top 10 in rushing yards in each of the last two seasons.
Harris, on the other hand, is a more conventional choice. The Steelers have an offense built on the running game. That gives a prominent role to the Alabama rookie, who should be more durable and have less wear than other RBs around the league who have been through the trials of many NFL seasons.
It's hard to avoid quarterbacks when it comes to the offensive categories. For this reason, we want to look at the predictions for QB player prop picks for the 2021 season. These will give you an idea on what bets are the best to make this season:

You’ve probably put in the hard work of figuring out the positions you need to focus on and have been researching how to deal with the bye week. However, without understanding the lingo, you can make a fatal error that can cost you the league championship. With the proper preparation, it could have been avoided.
In this article, we will go over some of the terminology is so you can look like a pro.
While doing your research, you will come across the term depth chart quite a bit. It is a very important part of the research process. Many websites and pundits have a list of the best players at each position ranked based on their abilities. There is not a single one that will trump all the others, so it takes a bit of reading up on how they come to their conclusions to understand how the list will work for you.
Whether you are preparing for the draft or looking for free agent pickups during season long fantasy football, you will need to set your preferred depth chart to help decide.
When you are being invited to a league or looking for one to join, it pays off to understand the different types of leagues that there are. Some of them will suit your style and strengths, while others may not.
You’ll often hear about keeper leagues, which simply means that the owners can keep some of the players they had on their team the previous season. A rotisserie league is one in which the owner with the most points from their players for a particular week wins the week.
Much different to a rotisserie league is a head to head one. Instead of accumulating points and seeing which team got the most, two teams are pitted against each other to see who comes out ahead.
During the draft, you will hear a few groans and snickers if you end up using a high draft pick for a wide receiver who is only in their first or second season in the league. WRs entering their third year tend to become a hot commodity. It is commonly thought that wide receivers will break out in his third year and then become more valuable as a draft pick. If they had a good first couple of seasons then they should be a great pick up in their third year.
Of course, there are many exceptions to this “rule” and many people think it is nonsense. There are a lot of factors that go into whether a player is going to have a good season.

In three weeks, the championship game to wrap up the 2020 NFL season, Super Bowl LV, will be played. It will take place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, with a halftime performance by The Weeknd. The buzz is building as football fans look forward to the excitement and fun of watching the big game. Although the global pandemic has changed the landscape for live sporting events, the NFL is allowing spectators for the Super Bowl, albeit at limited capacity and while observing maximum health protocols during the game.
Aside from the festive and action-packed show that the football community is anticipating, sports bettors will not miss this event as wagering comes bigger than ever. Although many sports leagues had events postponed over the past year due to the pandemic, the NFL managed to navigate through the regular season (with empty stadiums) and now advances through the playoffs with reduced audiences as it approaches a remarkable conclusion.
When it comes to Super Bowl LV betting, the most popular wagers you can gamble on are the point spread, money line and over/under. However, if you are looking for interesting Super Bowl side bets that do not require you to analyze numbers in order to make predictions, prop bets are your best friend. For Super Bowl LV, here are some fun and exciting prop bets you can wager and win.
Are you a bettor that wants to come out with bold predictions in any given game scenario? Game props allow you to gamble in the beginning, at the middle, or during the last minute.
It can either be for the best team to win or for a player to score the first touchdown. It can be whether the next punt in the game will be longer than 40 yards, or whether a punt returner will call a fair catch. Any potential game situations that provide a "Yes" or "No" answer of whether they will happen or not are under game props, which generate considerable payouts.
The coin toss is the most popular prop bet that are gambled on during Super Bowl games. Although you can see it as a no-brainer betting game because you only have to guess the result of the coin toss, hitting the right prediction is still tricky.
There are two ways to bet on a coin toss prop. You can either pick whether it lands head or tails. However, you can also bet on which team will win the coin flip. The coin toss happens before the game starts to determine which team starts with the ball.
Big traditions are observed during the Super Bowl games, and one of them is the Gatorade shower. The winning coach gets an ice-cold Gatorade bath to celebrate their championship success.
It is one of the most unique prop bets you can make. You only have to guess what Gatorade color is dumped on the winning coach. Selections are either lime, red, orange, clear, purple, or blue. Unless there is a new color introduced by Gatorade, the choices will remain the same.
Before the games begin, Americans show pride in their country by standing for "The Star-Spangled Banner". The Super Bowl LV National Anthem performer is still undetermined as of this writing. You can gamble the over/under as to whether the singer will sing the National Anthem in less than two minutes. Also, you can bet whether they will mess up the lyrics or not.
Halftime shows in Super Bowl give the audience and the players a break from the game. It gives the audience time to celebrate and party while the teams head to the locker room to adjust their game plans for the second half.
The halftime performance this year is headlined by Canadian singer The Weeknd. Some of the prop bets you can make are the number of songs that the singer will sing. Besides that, you can also guess the title of the first and last song to be performed.
This kind of Super Bowl prop bet is called exotic because they are more rare and only selected bookies participate in them. It is where bettors can wager on things such as who will be the biggest celebrity guests attending the game, or whether the new president-elect, Joe Biden, will watch the event live.
The Most Valuable Player is an award given to the player who performs the best during the big game. It is most commonly awarded to the quarterback of the winning team who serves as the team leader and inspiration, but all players for both teams are eligible. There are around twenty QB selections to make, and leading the pack are Mahomes, Garopollo, Hill, and Watkins.
Super Bowl props are excellent alternative for NFL betting. Instead of carefully weighing the odds and lines in point spread and money line, the prop betting category unleashes your prediction prowess.
Therefore, if you want to get away with confusing numbers and want a unique way of making betting more interesting, the Super Bowl props outlined above are your best choices.
In three weeks, the championship game to wrap up the 2020 NFL season, Super Bowl LV, will be played. It will take place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, with a halftime performance by The Weeknd. The buzz is building as football fans look forward to the excitement and fun of watching the big game. Although the global pandemic has changed the landscape for live sporting events, the NFL is allowing spectators for the Super Bowl, albeit at limited capacity and while observing maximum health protocols during the game.
Aside from the festive and action-packed show that the football community is anticipating, sports bettors will not miss this event as wagering comes bigger than ever. Although many sports leagues had events postponed over the past year due to the pandemic, the NFL managed to navigate through the regular season (with empty stadiums) and now advances through the playoffs with reduced audiences as it approaches a remarkable conclusion.
When it comes to Super Bowl LV betting, the most popular wagers you can gamble on are the point spread, money line and over/under. However, if you are looking for interesting Super Bowl side bets that do not require you to analyze numbers in order to make predictions, prop bets are your best friend. For Super Bowl LV, here are some fun and exciting prop bets you can wager and win.
Are you a bettor that wants to come out with bold predictions in any given game scenario? Game props allow you to gamble in the beginning, at the middle, or during the last minute.
It can either be for the best team to win or for a player to score the first touchdown. It can be whether the next punt in the game will be longer than 40 yards, or whether a punt returner will call a fair catch. Any potential game situations that provide a "Yes" or "No" answer of whether they will happen or not are under game props, which generate considerable payouts.

Now that's just bad luck. Hopefully he's OK. We know the Steelers are hoping he is, since they have a short week to prepare to play Baltimore on Thanksgiving night. [FTW]What on EARTH just happened here!?!?! pic.twitter.com/6kvK0qDrtv

If you want to attend a Super Bowl in the future, you can start planning ahead of time! Super Bowl LV will once again take place in Florida, but at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa this time around on February 7, 2021. The NFL has also announced several Super Bowl dates and locations through 2025:
Super Bowl LVI: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California on February 6, 2022
Super Bowl LVII: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona on February 5, 2023
Super Bowl LVII: 2024 (TBA)
Super Bowl LIX: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, New Orleans, Louisiana on February 9, 2025
SoFi Stadium hosts the Super Bowl for the first time in 2022 after opening this season as the new home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams. New Orleans was originally slated to host the Super Bowl in 2024, but was recently moved to 2025 due to a possible conflict with Mardi Gras. Therefore, 2024 will be awarded to another city, with Las Vegas as a possibility, having opened a new stadium for the Raiders.
Super Bowl LV promises to be just as exciting as last year's, if not more. This game will be the fifth Super Bowl held in Tampa and the third in Raymond James Stadium.
Although the current pandemic has brought many questions and concerns about the upcoming event, many people, including sports experts, say that there’s plenty of room to improve the Super Bowl fan experience. The NFL normally has plenty of events planned in the host city during Super Bowl Week events, but this year's events must factor in the safety of all employees, fans, and players. On Location Experiences, the official hospitality provider of the NFL, is also taking the step of selling ticket packages at a more affordable price when compared to last year’s prices. Other adjustments will likely be made by the committee and organizers to ensure fans can attend the game safely.
As for game day, the NFL is planning to limit stadium capacity to 20% and fans will be required to wear masks. Raymond James Stadium normally holds 65,000 people.
If the game weren't exciting enough, the prop bets during the game make the Super Bowl even more interesting for the online sports betting fans out there. Aside from the point spread at Solarbet, there is plenty of action to be a part of, including whether the coin toss will be heads or tails and the over/under for the length of the "Star-Spangled Banner" before the game!
As far as contenders, the Kansas City Chiefs are heavy favorites to repeat as Super Bowl champions, led by superstar quarterback (and Super Bowl MVP) Patrick Mahomes. However, they need to keep their focus to fend off other AFC challengers, such as the Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers were heavy favorites to return to the Super Bowl as NFC champions, but they are fighting through many serious injuries that could derail their playoff hopes. If they don't make it back, look for the Seattle Seahawks or Green Bay Packers to represent the NFC.

Television announcers attributed the play to Myles Garrett's athletic ability, which was definitely a factor here, but we have a different take on this: How huge is Dwayne Haskins' undershirt? Look how long that shirt stretched out. Is it size 3XL? Garrett doesn't need the help. We recommend that Haskins wear smaller undershirts for the rest of the season. [LBS]Myles Garrett was NOT gonna let go 😂 @MylesLGarrett @Browns pic.twitter.com/Q3HxCJHulJ
