A second consecutive week of a Monday Night Football doubleheader concludes with the Seattle Seahawks vs. Detroit Lions in a game that should bring plenty of excitement.
The undefeated Seahawks boast the best passing defense in the NFL and my Seahawks vs. Lions predictions see the Lions banking on their running backs.
Here are my favorite NFL picks surrounding player props for Monday, September 30.
In what was a frantic Copa del Rey showdown on Wednesday night, Real Madrid booked their spot in the final as they clinched a 5-3 victory against bitter local rivals Atletico Madrid.
While Atletico might have opened the scoring after just six minutes as Mario Hermoso headed home, Los Blancos came roaring back as Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy struck quickly in the space of nine minutes.
Although the red-hot Antonine Griezmann might have scored a club record-breaking 174th goal for Atletico just before the half time break, Los Colchoneros suffered major Copa del Rey heartbreak as they failed to limp their way over the finish line.
With Dani Carvajal sending Wednesday’s derby showdown to extra time, it was the substitute duo of Joselu and Brahim Diaz who who …

Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly trying to pry centre-back Evan Ndicka away from Eintracht Frankfurt this month.
Ndicka, 23, arrived at the Bundesliga club in 2018, racking up 162 appearances since. He has played every minute of their 15 Bundesliga fixtures this season, helping them to reach the German mid-season break in fourth position.
Standing at an imposing 192cm tall with pace to burn, he fits the bill as a centre-back who can handle the physical demands of the Premier League, and his impressive traits are exactly why Frankfurt have been desperate to retain his services.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 700th goal of his remarkable career in Portugal s Euro 2020 qualifying defeat to Ukraine on Monday.
His latest landmark was another reminder of Ronaldo s enduring brilliance, the five-time Ballon d Or winner still proving himself prolific at the age of 34.
The Juventus star has scored 95 goals for his country, while the bulk of his goals at club level came at Real Madrid, where he netted 450 times over nine seasons.
However, the first century milestone arrived 11 years ago, which is where we begin our rundown of Ronaldo s major landmark goals.

Rafael Benitez has been sacked by Celta Vigo with the club lying 17th in the LaLiga table.
The 63-year-old former Liverpool, Newcastle and Real Madrid boss took charge at Celta last summer, having been out of management since being sacked by Everton in January 2022.
The team have won only five of their 24 league games so far this season, with Sunday’s 4-0 loss at Real Madrid the 14th defeat, and they are currently two points above the relegation zone.

Missing out on the chance to claim Catalonia bragging rights on Monday night, Barcelona were forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate against Girona at the Nou Camp.
While Xavi s side might have been seeking an immediate response following their remarkable Copa del Rey collapse at the hands of Real Madrid on April 5th, they did widen their buffer at the top of the La Liga table.
Watching Los Blancos eventually get hit with a stunning 3-2 loss against Villarreal over the weekend, Monday s 0-0 draw now means that the Spanish heavyweights hold a 13-point buffer over the chasing pack.
Although the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Gavi might have missed late chances here, it is only a matter of time before Barcelona get their hands on a first domestic crown since 2019.
Liverpool ended 2019 with a 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League after extending their unbeaten home record to 50 top-flight matches with victory over Wolves at Anfield.
It was a happy end to the year for the Reds local rivals too, with Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti making it two wins from two games in charge as his side beat Newcastle United at St. James Park.
But uncertainty reigned in north London as the decade in football came to a close, with Arsenal letting slip the lead as they lost at home to Chelsea, and Tottenham being held to a draw by struggling Norwich City.

Borussia Dortmund rode their luck in their Champions League opener, but Nuri Sahin believes they deserved the three points against Club Brugge.
Dortmund won 3-0, with all of their goals coming in the final 14 minutes after their hosts had spurned several chances.
Brugge were the better side for much of the contest, but Jamie Gittens brace and a penalty from Serhou Guirassy, who netted for the first time in a Dortmund shirt, sealed the win for the visitors.
In the process, Gittens became the second-youngest player to score two or more goals as a substitute in a Champions League game, older than only Monaco s David Trezeguet.
And Sahin hailed his side s resilience for pushing them to victory.
It was important to start with an away win against a to…
Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has earned a share of more history… or, at least, he might have.
It may sound cryptic but Ronaldo s latest remarkable goalscoring feat is sure to be a bone of contention.
The 35-year-old s effort in the 2-0 Supercoppa Italiana win over Napoli means he is now on 760 professional goals during his illustrious career.
That tally in some quarters matches the number accumulated by Josef Bican, who played internationally for Austria and Czechoslovakia between 1933 and 1949.
However, there are those – including FIFA s official website – who credit Rapid Vienna and Slavia Prague legend Bican with scoring 805 goals in 530 matches, an astonishing 1.52 goals per game (FIFA also clarifies 805 is an estimated number).

Bayern Munich fell victim to a brutally effective Borussia Monchengladbach in their humbling 3-2 defeat on Friday, according to Hansi Flick.
Robert Lewandowski s penalty – his 20th Bundesliga goal of the season – and a fine strike from Leon Goretzka put Bayern in control of the Bundesliga clash at Borussia-Park inside 26 minutes.
However, a wayward pass from Benjamin Pavard led to a quick break that finished with Jonas Hofmann scoring, and the Gladbach midfielder was played onside by Niklas Sule as he doubled his tally before half-time after Joshua Kimmich was caught in possession by Lars Stindl.
Sule then gave the ball to Hofmann inside his own half four minutes after the restart and Florian Neuhaus subsequently atoned for conceding the first-half spot-kic…
