This is officially the worst New England Patriots season since 2000, which is when Bill Belichick was appointed the head coach. Twenty-three years ago, the Pats finished the season 5-11, while in 2023, they’re currently 2-10, meaning that things could get even worse.

They surely want to prevent that from happening, but for that, they need to start winning again. The bad news is that they’re taking on motivated Steelers in Week 13. The good news is that the Steelers are banged up ahead of the TNF game, so the Pats might stand a chance.

Pittsburgh Steelers Without QB Kenny Pickett in Week 14 TNF Game

The Steelers are 7-5 in the 2023 NFL, which puts them in third place in the AFC North with two wins fewer than table leaders, the Baltimore Ravens. Everyone expected them to stay just one win behind the Ravens, but the Steelers ended up losing by 10-point underdogs, the Arizona Cardinals last weekend.

It was a strange game which was interrupted several times due to heavy rain. More importantly, the game saw Pittsburgh’s quarterback Kenny Pickett injure his ankle, which is why he’ll have to sit out the TNF game.

Even with Pickett on the field, the Steelers weren’t scoring a lot – they’re the fifth-worst offense in the 2023 NFL with 16.0 points per game. Is it fair to assume their scoring average is going to drop even further now that the backup QB Mitch Trubisky is going to get the lead role?

New England Patriots Want to Salvage the 2023 Season

The Patriots are 2-10 right now and are winless since October. The reason behind all this is that their offense has been horrendous in 2023. They’re the team with the lowest points average in the league, scoring just 12.3 points per game.

The worst thing is that their average in their last three games is 4.3 PPG, with zero points scored in their most recent game. It happened against the Los Angeles Chargers, who aren’t famous for having a particularly strong defense.

In fact, the Chargers are better known for their lethal offense, which is why it’s kind of surprising that the Pats defense managed to hold them to just two field goals. Knowing this, they should be able to hold Trubisky & Co. to a low number of points on Thursday night.

New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction

Both teams are great defensively, but bad offensively. The latter part of that sentence is particularly true for the Patriots, who we think stand no chance of scoring more than their season average against the NFL’s sixth-best defense.

Picks: Pittsburgh Steelers (-250) & under 31.5 points (-110)

NHS England, the public body of the Department of Health and Social Care, and GambleAware, the independent charity working to keep people safe from gambling harm in Great Britain, came out with a joint statement, welcoming the statutory levy on operators.

Boost RET Funding

The statutory levy on operators was part of the White Paper proposals seeking to boost funding for gambling research, education and treatment (RET) and is expected to replace the current system based on voluntary donations.

NHS England’s National Clinical Advisor on Gambling Harms, Prof. Henrietta Bowden-Jones OBE, outlined in her comments the statutory levy’s “potential to finally ensure the independence of funding for treatment and research programs, as well as for prevention initiatives to address gambling harm.”

“It must be implemented without delay in order for fully integrated treatment pathways to be established,” Bowden-Jones said, emphasizing the NHS commitment to continue the long-standing collaboration with GambleAware throughout the interim period “to ensure that all patients in need of gambling treatment are accessing the service that they need.”

Besides the recognition of the constructive relationship with GambleAware, Bowden-Jones expressed the body’s “commitment to working with non-statutory providers of gambling treatment across the country,” noting that NHS England does not seek to be the only provider of gambling treatment on a national level.

Key to Delivering Efficient Service

GambleAware’s chief executive officer, Zoë Osmond, welcomed the statement from the NHS, seeing it as a confirmation of the long-standing and constructive collaboration between the two bodies.

“In our role as leading charity and strategic commissioner, partnership with those across the healthcare sector is vital,” Osmond said, looking forward to continuing work with the NHS to “ensure people are able to seamlessly access the services they need.”

Osmond also pointed to the charity’s collaborations with DCMS, DHSC, OHID, and the Gambling Commission and the key role these relationships play in helping GambleAware deliver “efficient and effective service” through the National Gambling Support Network.

“We welcome the introduction of a statutory levy on the industry to provide certainty and stability of funding, which will allow us and others to make long-term commitments to meet the needs of the population,” she concluded.

The joint statement represents a change of tone about the White Paper proposals that were subjected to stern criticism by public health specialists and anti-gambling advocates upon the document’s release.

GambleAware also joined the choir of critics, alongside GamCare and Gordon Moody, in sharing their concerns over rising addiction rates in the country.

So far, The Ashes series has been played 72 times, with the Aussies winning 34 times, England 32 times, and six of the series ended up tied. A total of 356 Test matches have been played, with Australia leading 150-110-96 (W-L-D). England hasn’t won the Urn since 2015, but the last time The Ashes took place in Britain, the series finished in a draw. Obviously, “The Three Lions” are good on their turf and with the help of their fans, they’re hoping to upset the odds this coming weekend.

England are Usually Very Good at Home

It was 1882 when England lost to Australia at The Oval, which inspired The Sporting Times to write a mock obituary, stating that England’s cricket has died and “the ashes (are) taken to Australia.” That’s how England vs. Australia cricket rivalry got its name – The Ashes.

Well, since then, the two have played a total of 72 The Ashes series, half of which took place in England. And half of those were won by “The Three Lions.”

Since the start of the 21st century, England has hosted The Ashes on six occasions. Four of those six series were won by the home side, while Australia only got one win (in 2001). The most recent The Ashes on English soil finished in a draw (2019).

Being good at home is one of the reasons why England players are feeling confident ahead of The Ashes of 2023. Another reason is that their recent form has been fantastic. In the build-up to The Ashes, England got a 10-wicket victory over Ireland.

Reasons Why Aussies are Favored to Win 1st Test of The Ashes 2023

England’s victory over Ireland has made these guys confident about their game. However, they’re nowhere near as confident as Australians. It’s because Australia is coming off a big win over India last week, which made them the World Test Champions.

They did it at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, meaning that they’ve already made themselves feel at home in England. Sure, this weekend the crowd will be rooting against them, but they probably won’t mind.

After all, they’ve got another major reason to be confident about their abilities. The last time they played England in The Ashes, they won the series without losing a Test. The final record was 4-0-1 in the series.

England vs. Australia The Ashes 1st Test Prediction

With batters like Travis Head and Steve Smith, as well as bowlers like Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon, Australia is the best cricket team in the world in 2023. However, under Ben Stokes’s captaincy, England have been incredibly aggressive, and that exactly might be the way to defeat the Aussies. If they go all-in in The Ashes, they might have some success.

Sure, they might not win the series, but no one should be surprised if they blitzed their way to a win in the 1st Test.

Pick: England to win the 1st Test

Reasons Why Atlanta United Is Favored to Win on May 31

Atlanta United is sitting in the No. 5 position in the MLS Eastern Conference with a 6-5-4 record (23 points), but their recent form isn’t great. The boys from Georgia are 1-2-2 in their last five MLS games, conceding nine goals along the way.

Their defense is actually their Achilles’ heel this season. Atlanta United and Charlotte are the two MLS teams with the worst defense, each allowing 25 goals thus far. “The Five Stripes” are horrible at the back, but their offense has been phenomenal in 2023.

Actually, with 29 goals scored in 15 games, Atlanta is the highest-scoring team in the MLS. Georgios Giakoumakis is their scoring leader with eight goals to his name. The most valuable player from Atlanta’s roster – Thiago Almada – is their second-best scorer with six goals. He’s also recorded eight assists, which is more than any other player in the MLS.

New England Revolution Struggling With Injuries

There are at least six players from New England’s roster who will miss Wednesday’s game. This includes Colombian winger Dylan Borrero who’s this team’s second-most expensive player. Midfielder Brandon Bye will also miss this game, who’s one of New England’s players with the most playing time this season.

Still, even with them on the pitch, New England would still be seen as the underdog in Wednesday’s game. After all, this team’s recent form is dreadful with one draw and three losses in the last four MLS games.

The main reason behind their poor run is their horrible defense. In those four goals, New England conceded nine goals.

Atlanta United vs New England Revolution Prediction

Atlanta United looks ready to end its winless run this Wednesday. This team has a much better roster than New England, so beating them shouldn’t be that hard. Sure, they haven’t done it since 2019 but now seems like a perfect opportunity to change that.

Picks: Atlanta United to win & over 2.5 goals

harry_kane_and_cristiano_ronaldo_keep_both_england_and_portugal_perfect_in_the_european_championship_qualifiersBoth the national clubs of England and Portugal have recorded their 2 – wins out of their 2 – games apiece to begin the commencement of the European Championship qualifying matches, and both England and Portugal were led and assisted by their superstar players in Harry Kane as well as Cristiano Ronaldo who keep their record – breaking streaks going.

Kane spiked his record – extending 55th – goal score for his national team in order to help England defeat Ukraine with a final tally of 2 to 0, while on the other hand Ronaldo found the back of the net 2 – times in his 198th – international match appearance for the Portugal national squad in their 6 to nil victory over Luxembourg recently.

Slovenia was the only other national team during the start of the 2024 European Championship qualifying matchesto begin with a perfect start following their first 2 – contests as they defeated San Marino with the final score of 2 to 0.

The defending champions of the European Championship, Italy, finally secured their 1st – victory of these qualifiers by beating Malta with the final of 2 to nil.

Kane Continues to Deliver for England

Following Kane surpassing the all – time great English footballer in Wayne Rooney as England’s forth most leading goal scorer, he happened to extend his record streak during a penalty – kick on Thursday, March 23rd, 2023 in a victory over Italy on Italy’s native soil.

Kane then went on to further extend his record streak at Wembley in London, England as the English national captain hit pay dirt during the 37th – minute of match play in the Group C contest after converting Bukayo Saka’s sweet cross – kick in front of the far post for another quality goal score.

Deservingly, Saka made his name known on the match score – sheet just 3 – minutes after Kane’s strike when he turned on the edge of the area in order to curl in a devasting shot up in to the top corner of the opposing goal.

Italy managed to somehow bounce back from their opening 2024 European Championship qualifying match to the hands of England by coming out victorious vs. Malta when with Mateo Retegui found the back of the net once again.

The forward that is a native of Argentina in Retegui, who has attained Italian citizenship via his maternal grandmother, headed in a corner – kick for a goal for the Italy’s opening score during the 15th – minute of match play. Retegui became the 1st – Italian national player to score a goal throughout his 1st – 2 competitive international contests in approximately 55 – years.

The Azzurri – side managed to double their tally count in the 27th – minute of the game when Matteo Pessina snapped the ball passed the defending goalkeeper on a low cross – kick from his teammate Emerson.

Ronaldo comes through Strong for Portugal

The all – time goal score leader in men’s football, Ronaldo, took his career count for Portugal to 122 – total goals throughout his 198 – international matches for the Portuguese national team.

The now 38 – year – old Cristiano began the scoring when he slapped the net with his club’s 4th – goal just following the 30 – minute mark as the 2016 champions very easily came out victorious in Luxembourg. João Félix, Bernardo Silva, as well as the substitutes of Otavio and Rafael Leão continued to add more goal scores for team Portugal.

Also, in Group J action of the 2024 European Championship qualifying matches, Aron Gunnarsson snapped some nice shots to record a 2nd – half hat trick as Iceland defeated Liechstein 7 to nil, and Slovakia ended up taking down Bosnia – Herzegovina with a final tally of 2 to 0.
