How to Watch Osasuna vs. Real Madrid, La Liga Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Watch Osasuna vs. Real Madrid Live Online.

Real Madrid’s unbeaten streak of 21 matches came crashing down midweek. Now, Osasuna is out to capitalize when it hosts Zinedine Zidane’s side in Week 23 of La Liga on Sunday. Eden Hazard could make his return to Real’s lineup after 10 weeks out with a hairline fracture in his foot, and he’d be a welcome addition following Los Blancos’ first loss since October.

Osasuna vs. Real Madrid

  • When: Sunday, February 9
  • Location: Estadio El Sadar
  • Time: 10:00 a.m. ET
  • TV: beIN Sports

Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Vazquez, Benzema, Isco

The sole silver lining for Zidane is that his team remains three points ahead of Barcelona at La Liga’s summit after its 4-3 Copa del Rey defeat to Real Sociedad on Thursday. Martin Odegaard came back to haunt his former club and scored the opening goal, as La Real built a 4-1 lead at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Rodrygo and Nacho each scoring in the final nine minutes. Real will hope for greater success at the Estadio El Sadar in Pamplona, where it has won by two goals in each of its past two visits. 

Osasuna’s last league point against Real came following a 2-2 draw at home in December 2013, though the team has since lost six straight meetings, each by a margin of at least two goals.

Los Rojillos sit 11th in the standings and could climb into the top half with a shocking victory in Week 23, though that would also require a Granada defeat at Atletico Madrid on Saturday to materialize.

Osasuna striker Chimy Avila is a huge absentee for Sunday’s host after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in late January. The Argentinian had recorded nine goals and two assists in La Liga this season prior to the blow as the team’s biggest attacking contributor by a distance.

Midfield Oier and winger Kike Barja will also miss out for Jagoba Arrasate’s side due to injury.

With Hazard nearing a return to full fitness, Marco Asensio looks like the only major injury concern at the Bernabeu. Raphael Varane should be restored to the XI in place of Eder Militao after he was an unused substitute against Sociedad, bringing some much-needed steel at the back.

Osasuna has lost two matches coming into Week 23 (both away) but are unbeaten in two outings at home and hope that the comforts on northern Spain could lead to an upset over the leaders.

Osasuna possible starting lineup:
Herrera; Vidal, U Garcia, D Garcia, Estupinan; Brasanac, Perez; Ibanez, R Garcia, Torres; Gallego

Seahawks opposing QB preview: Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz

The Seattle Seahawks will get another look at Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Carson Wentz when the teams square off in the wild-card round.

For the fourth time this year, the Seahawks will play a rematch game against a quarterback and team they faced earlier in the season. The first three were all divisional games, now they will take on the Philadelphia Eagles and Carson Wentz in the first round of the postseason.

When these two teams played each other back in late November, it was hardly a memorable affair for Wentz and the Eagles. The Seahawks dominated defensively, as Seattle won 17-9 with Philadelphia only scoring one touchdown in the final minute of garbage time.

It was a particularly rough outing for Wentz. The former North Dakota State standout did complete 33 of 45 passes, but for only 256 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, and three fumbles – two of which were lost.

Wentz has been playing with a short deck as all his top receiving options are either on the injured reserve or have missed significant time with various injuries as well. However, it somehow has not stopped Wentz from performing as he has seemingly spun straw into gold.

On the year, Wentz has thrown 27 touchdowns to only seven interceptions for 4,039 yards. In fact, Wentz has become the first player in NFL history to have 4,000 plus yards without a single receiver having at least 500 yards.

I’m not even sure how that math adds up.

Since losing to the Seahawks, Wentz has thrown 10 touchdowns against only one interception, while leading the Eagles to a 4-1 record and an NFC East championship.

Although Wentz has had turnover problems in the past, and especially against Seattle, he has been playing clean football for well over a month straight. The Seahawks will have to get back to forcing turnovers like they were for the majority of the season if they want to avoid another one-and-done trip to the playoffs.

Seahawks opposing quarterback preview: Niners’ Jimmy Garoppolo

The Seattle Seahawks will square off against the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the NFC West division title.

The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for their biggest game of the year, and perhaps the biggest in a few seasons, when they host the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC West championship game on Sunday. In order to help secure their first division title since 2016, the Seahawks will need to stop quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo once more.

When the Seahawks first faced off against Garoppolo this year, it was on the road for “Monday Night Football.” The Seahawks defense, led by a ferocious effort from Jadeveon Clowney, disrupted Garoppolo all night long.

The Eastern Illinois standout and former New England Patriot quarterback finished the night completing only 52.2% of his passes for 248 yards, a touchdown, an interception, and two lost fumbles – one of which was returned for a critical Seattle score.

Garoppolo has struggled with ball security all year, as he has thrown 13 picks and fumbled the ball 10 times, losing five.

However, despite his proclivity to turning the ball over, Garoppolo has actually been playing some of his best football. Since losing to Seattle, he has led the Niners on three game-winning drives, including a four-touchdown performance in New Orleans to defeat the Saints.

Garoppolo may be heating up, but turnovers still remain a crucial weakness in his game. The Seahawks defense leads the NFC in takeaways, but their performance as a whole is so reliant upon creating them to the point where it is sink or swim for Seattle

The Seahawks will need another monstrous performance and force a few more from Garoppolo if they have any hope of upsetting the Niners and claiming the NFC West crown for themselves.

Behind Enemy Lines: 5 questions asked and answered with Colts Wire

The New Orleans Saints want to rebound on “Monday Night Football” against the Indianapolis Colts, but that could be easier said than done.

The New Orleans Saints are looking to rebound in a big way this week on “Monday Night Football” against the Indianapolis Colts, but that could be easier said than done. To get the best-informed takes on the Saints’ next opponent, we reached out to our friends at Colts Wire and shared a question-and-answer session with mangaing editor Kyle Hickey. Here’s what he had to say:

1. Andrew Luck’s retirement sent shockwaves around the league. How has Jacoby Brissett performed this year? Is he the long-term answer at quarterback for the Colts, or could they be a team that tries to sign Teddy Bridgewater in free agency?

KH: Brissett has handled an impossible situation with class and elegance. Replacing a franchise QB is never easy and has done so admirably off of the field. When it comes to his play on the field, it is difficult to say that he is the long-term answer. While he has the intelligence, arm talent and pocket mobility to be a successful starter in the league, there have been some concerns that show he isn’t ready to be a franchise guy. There are struggles with timing and anticipation throughout the season, and he’s been far too conservative when throwing. That’s great to keep his turnover totals down, but the offense has seen a dramatic drop off in explosive plays. They could be in the market for a quarterback this offseason, but it is much more likely they look to the draft his replacement.

2. Quenton Nelson is a superstar, which isn’t a word used to describe many guards. But how well do the Colts play up front as a group? The Saints defensive line is loaded with talent, even after losing two starting-quality players this week to injuries (Marcus Davenport and Sheldon Rankins).

KH: The offensive line is the best position group the Colts have. They’ve been mostly consistent this season in pass protection and run blocking. The left side of the line is elite with Anthony Castonzo and the aforementioned Nelson. Center Ryan Kelly is above average when healthy. The weakness is at right guard with Mark Glowinski, who has regressed incredibly while right tackle Braden Smith has been more good than bad. This unit is how the Colts win games, which means they will need to be near-perfect on Monday.

3. If T.Y. Hilton isn’t ready to return just yet from his calf injury, who should the Saints look to defend as the go-to receiving option when the Colts drop back to pass?

KH: Hilton is questionable for the matchup. If he can’t go, the top wide receiver in the room is Zach Pascal, who has enjoyed a semi-breakout in 2019. He’s a reliable possession receiver and is carving out a role in the offense. Wide receivers Marcus Johnson and Dontrelle Inman (just re-signed) will also be in the mix on Monday. Don’t be surprised if tight end Jack Doyle is targeted heavily as well.

4. Darius Leonard is one of the league’s fastest-rising talents at linebacker, just like a player the Saints faced last week in 49ers stud Fred Warner. What makes Leonard so special? Will he be up to the task of playing chess with Drew Brees?

KH: Leonard brings everything you want in today’s linebacker. He has incredible instincts, closing speed and is arguably the best tackling linebacker in the game. He’s nicknamed “The Maniac” for a reason. He will get a really tough task across from Brees, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Brees have a few plays that out-smart Leonard. That said, the All-Pro linebacker will also have his share of big plays whether they come from a blitz or punching a ball out of a receiver’s hands.

5. Finally, who’s winning this one? Will the Colts defense be able to slow down the Saints? What’s your final score prediction?KH: The Colts are in a really bad place having lost five of their last six. The Saints are rolling even after their exciting loss against the 49ers. I think the Saints take this one pretty easily, 31-20.

Week 15 Preview and Prediction: Seahawks at Panthers

Previewing and predicting the Week 15 matchup when the Seattle Seahawks travel to Carolina to face off against the Panthers.

For the 11th time in 10 years, the Seattle Seahawks will face off against the Carolina Panthers. These two clubs have met with usual regularity for teams not even on the same coast, let alone the same division. In fact, Seattle has played the Panthers at least once in every year under coach Pete Carroll – including twice in 2014 and 2015 – except for the 2017 season.

Although this has been billed as one of the better conference rivalries, as games between Carolina and Seattle are typically competitive, the “rivalry” is truly anything but. The Seahawks outright own the Panthers, winning nine out of the thirteen total match-ups, with the most recent victory coming just last year in a 30-27 road win.

This domination is expected to continue as the Seahawks open up as massive six-point road favorites over Carolina, who is in free-fall mode. The Panthers started the year 0-2, but rattled off four straight wins and looked like a legitimate playoff contender. Then they proceeded to lose six of their next seven games, including the last five straight.

The Panthers have fired their long-time coach, Ron Rivera, and are just looking to limp through the rest of a lost season as they plan for the future.

How to Watch Steelers vs. Cardinals, NFL Week 14 Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Watch Steelers vs. Cardinals Live Online.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5) look to keep their wild card hopes alive against the Arizona Cardinals (3-8-1) Sunday afternoon. Pittsburgh has won the last three matchups, including a 25-13 victory the last time these two teams met in 2015 and a 27-23 Steelers win in Super Bowl XLII.

As the calendar moves to December, the final month of the NFL regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers realize they must continue their playoff push. The Steelers have won two in a row and six of their last seven games. Devlin Hodges completed 14 of 21 passes for 212 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 20-13 win over the Browns last weekend. Rookie Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 63 yards and one score in the absence of James Conner. James Washington stepped in as the team’s No. 1 receiver with JuJu Smith-Schuster sidelined and reeled in four catches and one touchdown. The Steelers should be getting Conner and Schuster back shortly, as well as starting center Maurkice Pouncey who was suspended two games for his role in the brawl vs. Browns two weeks ago. 

The Steelers defense has been red hot as well. They currently rank fifth in total defense with opponents averaging 317.2 YPG. Last weekend against the Browns, Pittsburgh recorded five sacks and one interception. Rookie Devin Bush Jr. led the team with seven tackles, while Alvin Dupree added six tackles and one-and-a-half sacks. Minkah Fitzpatrick has turned out to be a great acquisition after being acquired from the Dolphins. Fitzpatrick is a beast in the secondary and is tied for the league lead with five interceptions this season.

Arizona has lost five in a row, including a 34-7 thumping at home against the Rams. Once again, the offense struggled. Kyler Murray threw for 163 yards and one interception while adding 28 yards rushing and a score. Kenyan Drake led all rushers with 31 yards. The team has weapons on the offensive side of the ball, which is obvious after posting 54 points in two games against the 49ers and 27 points against Tampa Bay. Murray was the No. 1 overall pick for a reason. He can beat you with his arm and with his legs, but he needs to stay consistent and not turn the ball over.

The defense has been an issue for the Cardinals this season. They rank last in the NFL in yards allowed (426.3) and passing yards allowed (307.5) and are second-to-last in points allowed (29.2). This was evident against the Rams, who produced over 500 yards of total offense with 424 yards coming through the air.

How to Watch Lions vs. Vikings, NFL Week 14 Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Watch Lions vs. Vikings Live Online.

The Detroit Lions (3-8) head to Minneapolis to face the Vikings (8-4) in an NFC North contest. The Vikings have won the last four contests. Both teams met back in Week 7 when Kirk Cousins and Matt Stafford each threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. However, it was Vikings running back Dalvin Cook’s 142 yards rushing and two touchdowns that provided the difference in the game. Can the Vikings pick up another divisional win and inch closer to the Packers? We’ll find out Sunday.

[protected-iframe id=”0d822fa22c40b2754e3a6cd705e271dd-58289342-150719707″ info=”https://fubo-preview.global.ssl.fastly.net/lp/preview/index-lite.html?params=irad%3D538235%26irmp%3D1205322%26pack%3Dfubotv-basic&page_slug=FOX” style=”max-width: 640px;” width = “100%]

Lions vs. Vikings

When: Sunday, December 8

Time: 1:00 p.m. ET

TV: FOX

Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

Everything seemed to be going wrong at the quarterback position for the Lions. Stafford and Jeff Driskel were both out, so it was next man up for Detroit. David Blough completed 22 of 38 passes for 280 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, but the team lost 24-20 vs. Chicago, its fifth loss in a row. Bo Scarborough rushed for 83 yards and Kenny Golladay reeled in four catches for a season-high 158 yards, his fifth game over 100 yards. Detroit can put up points and it will try and beat you through the air. The Lions rank seventh in total yards (337.2 YPG) and seventh in passing yards (271.7 YPG). 

While the offense is successful, the Lions defense has struggled mightily. Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns. As a unit, the defense is 29th in total yards allowed (398.1 YPG) and 30th in passing yards allowed (280.1 YPG). The Vikings rely on the run, but with Cook’s production down the last two games, they could put the ball in Cousins’ hands more and allow his weapons on the outside to make plays.

Don’t count the Vikings out in any games. Their last four have been decided by seven points or less and that includes a 26-23 loss to Kansas City on the road and a 37-30 loss in Seattle last week. Cousins completed 22 of 38 passes for 276 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Those passes went to a total of nine different wide receivers. Cook injured his shoulder in the game and has since said he will be ready to play, but how productive will he be? In his last two games, he has a combined 55 yards and two touchdowns.  Not the numbers the league’s fifth-best rusher (1,046 yards) is accustomed to putting up.

The Seahawks totaled over 450 yards of offense against Minnesota. Russell Wilson made plays with his arm and accounted for 240 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, but it was Seattle’s ground and pound rushing attack that was the most damaging. Chris Carson and Rashad Penny combined for 38 carries, 176 yards, and two touchdowns. How will the defense bounce back against a weak Lions running attack? Can it stop the passing game? That is Detroit’s forte and the Vikings are ranked 20th in that category (242.9 YPG), the worst of any major defensive statistic.

How to Watch Ravens vs. Bills, NFL Week 14 Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Watch Ravens vs. Bills Live Online.

The Baltimore Ravens (10-2) head to Buffalo to face a 9-3 Bills squad on Sunday afternoon. Baltimore leads the all-time series 5-3, including a 47-3 blowout last season. Good news for Buffalo though, the two times these teams met in New York (2007 and 2013), both resulted in wins for the home team.

[protected-iframe id=”20715d586b192d00561d25362e89ca44-58289342-150719707″ info=”https://fubo-preview.global.ssl.fastly.net/lp/preview/index-lite.html?params=irad%3D538233%26irmp%3D1205322%26pack%3Dfubotv-basic&page_slug=CBS” style=”max-width: 640px;” width = “100%”]

Ravens vs. Bills

  • When: Sunday, December 8
  • Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
  • TV: CBS
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

We may have witnessed a preview of the Super Bowl this past weekend when the Ravens and 49ers squared-off. Baltimore was able to edge out San Francisco 20-17 despite some terrible weather conditions. Lamar Jackson didn’t have his best game passing going 14 of 25 for 101 yards and one touchdown, but it didn’t matter. Jackson picked up where he left off in the run game with 16 carries for 101 yards and another score. This year, he’s totaled 977 yards rushing and will most certainly break the 1,000-yard barrier against the Bills. To put his numbers in perspective, he is ranked ninth in rushing in all of the NFL. Kyler Murray is the next best quarterback on the list with 446 yards. Jackson is a highlight reel waiting to happen and has teamed with Mark Ingram in the backfield to give the Ravens the best rushing attack in the league and second-best offense.

Jackson is a difference-maker, but the Baltimore defense is playing lights out lately. Against the 49ers, it recorded two sacks and limited Jimmy Garoppolo to 165 yards and one touchdown.  Raheem Mostert was able to run the ball efficiently on the defense with 19 carries for 146 yards, and one touchdown. The Ravens are fifth in points allowed (18.2) and sixth in rushing yards allowed (94.2 YPG). Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen isn’t afraid to run the ball or hand off to running backs Devin Singletary or Frank Gore. The defense’s ability to stop the run will be key in this game.

What a difference a year makes. Buffalo was 6-10 last year and is now 9-3 and hot on the heels of the New England Patriots in the AFC East. The Bills have won three in a row, including a 26-15 win over the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Josh Allen accounted for 274 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, while Devin Singletary posted 101 total yards and one touchdown. Cole Beasley led the team with six catches for 110 yards and one touchdown against his former team. It marked the first 100+ yard receiving game of the season for Beasley.

The game plan is simple defensively. Stop Lamar Jackson and the Ravens running game. How the team is able to execute it is a different story. Buffalo was able to sack quarterback Dak Prescott four times, two of those coming from rookie Ed Oliver, and force an interception. The defense ranks third in total defense with opponents averaging 300.1 YPG and will face arguably their biggest test of the year this weekend.
