Records are meant to be broken. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule like Wayne Gretzky’s 2,857 points, Cal Ripken’s 2,632 consecutive games played, or Emmitt Smith’s 18,355 rushing yards.
Super Bowl records are no different. Big games call on star players to make big plays and etch themselves into Super Bowl history.
Jerry Rice scored three touchdowns in a single Super Bowl…twice. Steve Young threw six touchdown passes in Super Bowl XXIX and Jalen Hurts ran for 70 yards as a quarterback in Super Bowl LVII.
Can any of these seemingly ‘untouchable’ Super Bowl records be broken this year when the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs?
The Super Bowl odds suggest no, but our 49ers vs. Chiefs predictions…
Jordan Love lit up the box score in his return last week, yet he and the Green Bay Packers were unable to get the win.
This Sunday they head West to take on the Los Angeles Rams, who are dealing with major injuries on offense and have failed to bottle up anyone on defense.
My Packers vs. Rams predictions expect Love & Co. to feast on the Rams’ shoddy stoppers, and I break it down below in my NFL picks for October 6.

My analysis
While the absences of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua have headlined the Los Angeles Rams’ troubles this season, the bigger issue has been on the other side of the ball. The Rams’ defense has allowed an average of 28.8 po…
Germany captain Michael Ballack said on Thursday he is confident his side can reach the Euro 2008 knock-out stages and will be in form for Saturday s final warm-up with Serbia.
Germany were held 2-2 by minnows Belarus on Tuesday night and Ballack says while intensive training in Mallorca had taken its toll, the side will be stronger when they open their Euro 2008 campaign against Poland on June 8.
Joachim Loew s side play their final warm-up game against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday.
It is not an excuse, but the training camp is very physical, people are tired, but I am sure we will be on form for the beginning of the tournament, said Ballack.
Against Serbia on Saturday, you will see a different match.

Two sides who will be desperate to pick up a first-leg advantage on Tuesday night, Lille will welcome Slavia Prague to France.
Lille
Starting with the hosts, extending on their Champions League qualifying adventure last week as they secured a thrilling 3-2 aggregate victory against Turkish heavyweights Fenerbahce, Lille should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Likewise, signing off their summer preparations with a 3-1 romp against Celta Vigo on July 30th, Bruno Genesio’s men are enjoying a recent flurry. Opening the new Ligue 1 campaign over the weekend with a deserved 2-0 win away at Reims as they picked up some perfect momentum, the Mastiffs will be confident of claiming a crucial first-leg advantage on Tuesday night.…
Dutch defender Khalid Boulahrouz was selected in the starting line-up to face Russia in their Euro 2008 quarter-final here on Saturday against Russia just days after the tragic loss of Anissa, his prematurely born baby daughter.
The 26-year-old had told coach Marco van Basten he would be able to focus on the match despite his and wife Sabia s traumatic week.
Van Basten has taken him at his word and put him in against a Russian side coached by former Dutch national coach Guus Hiddink.
The Dutch team wore black armbands on Saturday as a mark of respect for the player and his family, while the Dutch supporters joined in with their own effort, as they sang in the first few minutes of the match You ll never walk alone (the famous hymn sung by Liverpool supporters)…
England are a better side now than the one that lost to Croatia at the 2018 World Cup and have a lot more faith in overcoming Denmark in their latest semi-final, according to Harry Maguire.
The Three Lions eased to a 4-0 win over Ukraine in Saturday s Euro 2020 quarter-final in Rome – their biggest win in the knockout stages of a major tournament – to set up a showdown with Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday.
England lost their most recent semi-final appearance in the competition on penalties to Germany in 1996, while also losing at that stage to Croatia in the World Cup three years ago en route to finishing fourth.
Not since being crowned world champions on home soil in 1966 have England reached the final of a major tournament, but Maguire insists his side wil…
Santos forward Neymar has been announced as the winner of FIFA s 2011 Puskas award for the best goal of the year.
Neymar was rewarded for his stunning solo strike during Santos 5-4 defeat against Flamengo in the Campeonato Brasileiro in July. The 19-year-old moved past a string of opponents before calmly sending the ball past the goalkeeper.
The Brazil international, who beat Barcelona s Lionel Messi and Manchester United s Wayne Rooney for the honour, was presented the award by Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez.
Speaking on the special occasion, Neymar said: I am really happy to be at this ceremony, to win this award against two great players, of whom I am fan.
I want to thank God for this and I would like to wish everyone a good ceremony.

NFL Week 2 is like a game of “Wheel of Fortune”. We have a couple of letters on the board, but we don’t know what the hell we’re looking at.
Should I buy a vowel? Spin and take a “W” or maybe an “L”? Bank on Week 1 outcomes or be skeptical of riding solo results? WHAT IN THE SWEET NAME OF VANNA WHITE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?!
I, for one, welcome the utter chaos that is Week 2 of the NFL season.
We have just enough info to be dangerous and the slack between bookies and bettors has yet to tighten considerably toward the bad guys. To twist a quote from esteemed officer Frank Drebin of Police Squad: “Like a blind man at an orgy, we’re all going to have to feel things out.”
