The two pre-tournament favorites – Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz – are out of the picture. Jannik Sinner beat Djokovic in the semifinal, while Alcaraz’s journey was ended by Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinal. Then, Zverev’s AO24 campaign came to a stop in the semifinal against Daniil Medvedev.

As a result, it’s the Sinner vs. Medvedev match that will decide the winner of the 2024 Australian Open. So, who will become the new champ? Let’s find out!

Jannik Sinner In the Best Form of His Life

The 22-year-old Italian is playing the best tennis of his career. Last season was great for him, with Sinner finishing the year in the 4^th place in the ATP Rankings. However, 2024 could be even better.

He started it in top gear, winning the first five matches of the 2024 Australian Open in straight sets. Then, in the semifinal, he met the world No. 1, Novak Djokovic. Sinner entered that match as a huge +200 underdog, but he managed to upset the odds and win 3-1.

The only set Djokovic won was the third set, which went to a tiebreaker. And even that was very close, with Novak winning 8-6.

Can Medvedev Finally Win the Australian Open?

Daniil Medvedev came close to winning the Australian Open on two occasions. In 2021, he played against Djokovic in the Final but ended up losing 3-0. The following year, he played for the trophy against Nadal, but lost 3-2 this time despite having a 2-0 lead at one point.

Now, he’s got a seemingly easier task on his hands. He’s playing Jannik Sinner, who, let’s be realistic, isn’t as good as those two. Plus, Medvedev has played really well so far in Melbourne.

His toughest match so far happened in the semifinal against Alexander Zverev. Even though Zverev started the match strongly, winning the first two sets without any major problems. Then, Medvedev won the next three sets.

It took him nearly four and a half hours to book the ticket to the AO24 Final. Will this have an impact on his performance on Sunday?   

Jannik Sinner vs. Daniil Medvedev Prediction

In terms of talent, there’s little difference between Sinner and Medvedev. However, physically, we think Sinner has an advantage. The thing is that the longest the Italian has spent on the court at the 2024 Australian Open is 3:26 hours.

It happened against Djokovic, while in the other five matches, he got the job done in under three hours. Meanwhile, in his previous match, Medvedev spent 4:22 on the court.

Pick: Jannik Sinner

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated last season’s NFC champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, in the Wild Card Round. Now, they’re hoping they can do the same against the Detroit Lions. This time, however, they’re playing on the road against a team that suffered only two losses during the regular season.

Can the Bucs Pull Off Another Surprise?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers demolished the Philadelphia Eagles who were three-point favorites ahead of the Wild Card Round duel. The final score was 32-9 for the Bucs, which was their biggest win in the 2023-24 campaign.

In fact, the last time they defeated someone by 23 points or more was back in January 2022 when they beat the Carolina Panthers 41-17.

So, how did they manage to beat the mighty Eagles? Tampa’s quarterback Baker Mayfield had a fantastic game, going 22-for-36 for 337 yards and three touchdowns, without suffering a single interception. The Bucs also did great defensively, keeping the Eagles offense to just one touchdown.

Detroit Lions Dreaming of the NFC Title Game

This is the first time the Detroit Lions reached the Divisional Round after 22 years. If they win on Sunday, they will get a shot at the conference title, which they last won back in the 1950s. Knowing all this, it’s clear that these guys will be super motivated against the Bucs.

They’ve got the motivation, but do they have the player power to pull it off? Well, their roster might be inexperienced, but that hasn’t bothered them this season. They finished the regular season with a 12-5 record, then went on to beat the in-form Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card Round.

It was a close game, which they won by a single point. Their next game is almost certainly going to be difficult as well, but will they manage to grab another win?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions Prediction

Our prediction is that the Detroit Lions will win this game. They’ve looked much better than the Bucs throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Plus, they have huge motivation to win on Sunday and write the franchise’s history. They’re also going to have their fans at Ford Field to cheer them on.

Speaking of Ford Field, the weather forecast says the temperature around this venue is going to be 18°F at the kickoff. That’s the temperature the Lions are used to, but the Bucs prefer playing in sunny Florida. The temperature in Tampa is going to be around 60°F this weekend.

Pick: Detroit Lions -6.0

The Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions 2024 Playoff game is a homecoming game for Matt Stafford. The Rams’ signal-caller is coming back to Ford Field for the first time since moving to LA in 2021 after spending 11 years in Detroit.

He probably won’t get a warm welcome from the Lions’ fans who have a new favorite – Jared Goff – who used to play for the Rams in the past. With his new team, Goff has been brilliant and is looking to take the Lions to the Divisional Playoffs for the first time since 1991. Will his former team crush his dream?

Los Angeles Rams Looking to Cash In On Their Good Form

The Rams finished the regular season on a 10-7 record, with seven of those wins happening in the final eight game weeks.

The only game they lost during that period was the one against the AFC No. 1 seed, the Baltimore Ravens, in a game played in Maryland. But the Ravens too struggled to beat them – they won only after overtime.

So, what have the Rams been doing well lately? They’ve been playing carefully on the offense, with QB Matt Stafford opting to make fewer risky passes than usual. The result is that in four of his last five games, he had zero interceptions.

We also saw him throw for well over 250 yards per game in most games this season. Even when his passes didn’t result in a touchdown, he still made it easy for placekickers to score field goals.

The Rams also did okay defensively, although there’s definitely room for improvement in this aspect. They’re among the top 10 worst teams in the NFL when it comes to opponent passing yards (231.1 allowed per game) and opponent passing TDs (1.4 conceded per game).

Is this something that should worry them ahead of the trip to Detroit? It definitely is! It’s because Dallas is the No. 3 team in the NFL in terms of passing yards.

Can Detroit Get to the Divisional Round for the First Time In 32 Years?

The Detroit Lions are favored to win on Sunday, with the bookies seeing them as 3-point favorites. The main reason is that the Lions were brilliant during the regular season. They won the NFC North Division, going 12-5 overall.

Their strongest weapon has been their passing game, with 258.6 passing yards on average. It’s no surprise given that their quarterback Jared Goff has been on form with his throws, recording a total of 30 touchdown passes.

Truth be told, he’s had a relatively easy job given that Detroit’s receivers have been sensational this season. Wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and tight end Sam LaPorta scored 10 receiving TDs each, while another five players passed the end line at least once this season.

Apart from being good at passing, the Lions have also been dangerous running the ball, especially when David Montgomery or Jahmyr Gibbs get ahold of it. 

Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions Prediction

This is one of the trickiest Wild Card Round games to predict as the Lions look more talented on paper, but the Rams have experience on their side. It’s really 50-50 if you’re asking us.

However, our Rams vs. Lions pick is going to be the Rams +3.0. The key reason for this is that these guys have been in brilliant form lately. They might not necessarily win, but we think they’re going to give the Lions a really hard time on Sunday.

Pick: Los Angeles Rams +3.0

With a win over the Washington Commanders in Week 18, the Dallas Cowboys would win the NFC East Division, as well as capture the No. 2 seed.

They won’t be lacking any motivation on January 7, but what about their opponents? The Commanders are 4-12, meaning that they stand no chance of making the playoffs regardless of what happens on Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys Coming to Landover to Win

The Dallas Cowboys are 11-5 on the season and will play in the postseason no matter what. However, these guys wish to win the NFC East Division, as well as secure the No. 2 seed in the conference. For that, they just need to beat the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Not only do they have a much better roster than the Commanders, but they’re also in good form. Sure, they did lose two of their last three games, but those happened against teams that are much, much better than their next opponent – the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins.

Plus, in their most recent game, they beat the high-flying Detroit Lions. It was a narrow win (20-19), but the Cowboys can be proud of their performance, especially in the defense. Keeping a team that’s averaging 26.9 points per game to 19 points is a great achievement.

Can Washington Commanders End Their Losing Run?

The Washington Commanders are 4-12 in the 2023-24 NFL, with their most recent win happening back in early November. That’s when they defeated the New England Patriots, who are one of the league’s worst teams.

In fact, all of Washington’s wins this season happened against teams that were under .500 when they played against them. When playing against stronger opponents, the Commanders don’t tend to do much. For example, in their previous duel with the Cowboys, they got smashed 45-10.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders Prediction

Are we going to see the Cowboys demolish the Commanders once again? We say yes! The boys from Dallas are in good shape, not to mention that they’ve got a lot of motivation to win this game.

That said, anything but a big win for the visitors would be a major surprise in our eyes. The Cowboys are going to win this game and cover the spread. 

Pick: Dallas Cowboys -13.0

Juventus is the only team that seems capable of leapfrogging Inter to the No. 1 spot in the 2023-24 Italian Serie A table. The black-and-whites are in top shape right now – they’re without a single loss since September.

AS Roma hasn’t been as great, but Jose Mourinho’s men did beat the reigning Serie A champions AS Roma last weekend.

Juventus Needs to Keep Winning to Stay in the Title Race

Ahead of the 18^th round of the 2023-24 Serie A, Juventus is sitting in second spot in the standings, with four points behind Inter Milan. The good news for the boys from Turin is that they’ve been playing fantastic soccer over the last couple of months, being undefeated since September.

Another thing going in their favor is that they’re without a single loss at home in Serie A this season. Further, they have a very good record against AS Roma at Allianz Stadium in Turin, winning eight of their last 10 duels.

What’s not going in their favor is that they’re going to miss many first-team players in Saturday’s game. Andrea Cambiaso is suspended, the same as Nicolo Fagioli. Further, Alex Sandro, Mattia De Sciglio, and Moise Kean are out with injuries, while Manuel Locatelli and Federico Chiesa are listed as questionable.

Can AS Roma Slay Another Serie A Giant?

AS Roma is fifth in the 2023-24 Serie A standings with an 8-4-5 record. In their most recent game, they defeated Napoli 2-0, which may seem like a great achievement. However, there’s a caveat – Napoli played without two players who got red-carded.

Before winning against Napoli, AS Roma lost 2-0 to Bologna on the road. And before that game, they drew 1-1 with Fiorentina. Knowing all this, it’s clear that these guys aren’t in great form. They probably know this, which is why they probably don’t plan to go for a win on Saturday.

Instead, we could see AS Roma “park the bus” in front of their goal and try to get themselves a point. Their coach Jose Mourinho is an expert when it comes to defensive tactics, so, who knows, it might work on them.

Juventus vs. AS Roma Prediction

Our prediction for Saturday’s Juventus vs. AS Roma Serie A game is that the home team will win. Juventus is just better than AS Roma even with all those absentees. They will probably win, but we’re not sure they’re going to score a lot of goals as the visitors are likely to defend with all they’ve got.
