WEEK 13 PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread In the tweeted picture, Siemian (right) mirrored Manning’s 2013 ice bath treatment for an injured ankle. He wore his helmet and brought a tablet to break down game film while soaking his foot. Manning went on to have two more successful years with the Broncos, leading them to a Super Bowl 50 victory. However, the day after the 2013 photo was taken, the Broncos did lose to the Chargers....

The Tottenham star was struck in the face and reportedly held at knifepoint during the incident, which took place at his home in Barnet, where Alli, his brother, their two partners and a friend are staying. Items of jewellery were among the items stolen by two intruders, who then fled the scene. In a post on Twitter, Alli wrote: “Thank you for all the messages. Horrible experience but we’re all okay now....

Apart from the reverses against City, Spurs have been relatively good in the league and have notched up a string of victories. Moreover, the North Londoners would hope to capitalise on the slips of their fellow top four competitors, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. At the moment, Pochettino’s men find themselves in third and level on points with Chelsea, albeit having played a game less. Thus, a victory would go a long way in securing Champions League football for the Lilywhites....

A spot at Wembley is on the line, and the Blues hold a significant 2-0 advantage from the first-leg victory at Stamford Bridge. With away goals not a factor, Tottenham needs a two-goal victory to send the match to penalties, or a massive three-goal win to advance outright. A goal from Kai Havertz plus a Ben Davies own-goal proved more than enough for Chelsea in the opening 90 minutes, which prompted Spurs boss Antonio Conte to claim Chelsea is currently the much better side....

Defeat away to Monaco on Tuesday ended Tottenham’s hopes of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League but they will fall into the Europa League if they avoid defeat by CSKA Moscow in their final home match on Dec. 7. Their Champions League campaign was scuppered by defeats at Wembley to Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen when, despite record crowds of 85,000, Tottenham produced lacklustre displays. They had chosen to play their Champions League matches at Wembley because of a reduced capacity at their White Hart Lane ground caused by building work on an adjacent new stadium....

Toulouse are currently in 10th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been able to make their mark in the top flight so far this season. The home side suffered a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of Nantes last week and will need to play out of their skins to bounce back in this fixture. PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have managed 10 points from their four league games so far....

Tower of Fantasy players will eventually need to defuse not one but three bombs to proceed with the adventure.

Derrick Rose added 20 points and Tyus Jones pitched in 16 points, eight assists and three steals for the Timberwolves, who split the previous two games without Towns, while he recovered following a highway crash last week involving the car he was riding in . The accident ended Towns’ streak of 302 consecutive starts to begin his NBA career. Rookie Marvin Bagley III had 25 points and 11 rebounds and De’Aaron Fox scored 23 points for the Kings (31-29), who like the Timberwolves (29-31) are just below the cut for the Western Conference playoffs with the Los Angeles Lakers between them....

It was his call to approve the Tigers’ deal with the Astros just before midnight ET Thursday. Reports said he was holding out for a trade to the Cubs, his first choice, only to settle on Houston at the last minute. Looking at the big picture, he had to know that two (or three) years and a month-plus in Chicago or Houston would set him up better for one last payday after his current deal ends in 2019 or 2020....

CHAPECO, Brazil (Reuters) - For football striker Alejandro Martinuccio, the surgery on his right knee two months ago was a tough blow, keeping him off the field as his small Brazilian team, Chapecoense, pulled off surprise wins against top clubs from his native Argentina. But in the end, the surgery saved more than Martinuccio’s knee. It saved his life. After most of his teammates died in a plane crash in Colombia on Monday on their way to the final of the Sudamericana Cup, Martinuccio is one of a handful of players and staff at Chapecoense coming to terms with their escape from the same fate....

The game will feature a classic unstoppable offensive force facing off against an immovable defensive object. Lonzo Ball’s return to the Lakers has helped them rattle off five wins, with the team averaging 121.4 points per game during that stretch. While Damian Lillard has had a similar offensive impact for the Blazers, the team’s defense has only allowed a league-best 96.6 points per game during this streak.

“Islamic governments have never and will never be established through peaceful solutions and cooperative councils,” it notes. “They are established as they [always] have been: by pen and gun, by word and bullet, by tongue and teeth.” British police found the Arabic-language document during a search for co-conspirators in the Osama bin Laden-organized bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. The FBI introduced the translated content–titled “Declaration of Jihad Against the Country’s Tyrants, Military Series”–during the New York trial of embassy bombing suspects last summer....

The Premier League champions are continuing their summer policy of tying their big-name players to long-term contracts. In August alone Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero put pen to paper, and Dzeko is pleased to join them. “I’m really happy here at City, it’s a second home to me, so it was an easy decision to stay for the long term," he told the club’s official website. “I knew from the beginning when I started here that I wanted to stay for a long time - I can’t see any place better than here....

The 21-year-old who set up the first and scored the second in Belgium’s 2-1 World Cup win over the United States is returning to Everton after scoring 16 goals in 33 appearances while on loan at Goodison Park last season. The transfer fee eclipses the 15 million pounds paid in 2008 for Lukaku’s compatriot Marouane Fellaini, who was subsequently sold to Manchester United. Lukaku joined Chelsea in 2011 from Anderlecht but struggled to hold down a place as a starter and also spent time on loan at West Bromwich Albion....

Zenit have supposedly offered Ivanovic a three-and-a-half-year deal and are hoping to ward off interest from West Ham United, Leicester City, and Everton. In case you didn’t know… After joining Chelsea in a £9.7 deal from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008, Branislav Ivanovic had to wait for eight months after the start of the 2008/09 season to make his first appearance for Chelsea in the League Cup against Portsmouth. It wasn’t until the 2010/11 season that he established himself as the club’s first choice full back....
