Sunday’s matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos gives us a final chance to see these teams before the regular season, although both will be without their starting quarterbacks and key starters.
That has our Cardinals vs. Broncos predictions anticipating a low-scoring affair in our latest NFL picks for August 25.
Cardinals vs Broncos prediction
My best betUnder 33.5 (-105 at FanDuel)
My analysis
It’s been a pleasing summer for the Denver Broncos, who have seen rookie Bo Nix cement himself as the team’s starter. This year’s 12th overall pick has played lights-out during the preseason at camp and locked down that startin…
Ghana beat Zambia to confirm their place in the next round of the 2014 World Cup qualification for the Caf region.
A first-half goal from Spartak Moscow forward Abdul Majeed Waris gave the Black Stars the lead at half-time before a second-half Kwadwo Asamoah strike doubled the Ghanaians lead.
Despite a second-half strike from Nathan Sinkala, the two goals were enough to see the four-time African champions through to the next round where they will meet a team yet to be decided in a two-legged play-off tie to represent the continent in Brazil next year.
The Black Stars had taken the lead through a stooping header, directed into the roof of the net from Waris and despite the Zambians looking more comfortable in possession and seeing more of the ball, they failed…

Ivan Toney stayed cool from the spot as he slotted his penalty home for England in their 5-3 shoot-out win over Switzerland.

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola is eight points clear of his nearest challenger.
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were the only sides in the top-six to pick up wins this weekend which meant they extended their lead over the chasing pack once more. Bayern enjoyed a 2-0 victory over Hertha Berlin, while Dortmund hit Stuttgart for four. The table sees Pep Guardiola’s Munich side leading the way after 14 games, while second-placed Dortmund are considerably behind but in no danger of surrendering their runner-up spot given how poor the rest of the top-six have been this season.
Bayern are top of the Bundesliga table with 40 points from 14 games. The German giants are unbeaten in the division, boast the best defensive record, and have scored the most goals. Dortmund are…
Lyon are up on the Normandy coast Saturday hoping to end a four-match winless run to preserve their narrow lead at the top of the table ahead of the winter recess.
The seven-time champions, who sit three points clear, take on mid-table Caen anxious to close the year on a high after last weekend s stalemate with Marseille.
Lyon manager Claude Puel targeted maximum points at Caen a must after the goalless draw at the Stade Gerland venue.
Lyon s Swedish international midfielder Kim Kallstrom has called on his teammates to reverse the trend at Caen. This game is super-important, said Kallstrom.
We re experiencing a difficult time with four games without victory. We have to stop that. Here we ve got a game to end the year on a good note and to wind up the…

The NFL calendar flips to December in Week 13, meaning a seismic shift not just in temperatures but motivation.
