With Zlatan Ibrahimovic having signed a contract extension at AC Milan which will see him play Champions League football at the age of 40, we’ve looked through the annals of modern sporting history and picked out six other star athletes who defied the ageing process.
For each of the four biggest US sports, we’ve picked out five of the most shocking draft picks and surprising trades of all-time. Such decisions can make or break an NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL franchise for years to follow and opinions are often divided on who will come out best from major moves.
Kansas City are fancied to become the first team since 2004 to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy two years running by taking care of Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers have home advantage and the Tom Brady factor in their favour, but the all-conquering Chiefs still get the nod to prove a class apart.
With speculation growing over the Houston quarterback’s future, we’re taking a look at the latest Deshaun Watson trade rumours and odds. The Pro Bowl signal-caller would attract huge interest if the Texans decide to let him go and bwin are betting on which NFL team he will next take a snap for.
Kansas City had to survive a real scare against Cleveland last week but can return to top form versus Buffalo in the AFC Championship game. The Chiefs can be forgiven for being a touch rusty following a 20-day break and had to overcome a concussion injury to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Aaron Rodgers is fancied to just get the better of old rival Tom Brady when Green Bay host Tampa Bay in this weekend’s NFC Championship game. The Buccaneers are on a six-game winning run, but face formidable opposition and a big change in playing conditions at a freezing cold Lambeau Field.
We’ve reached the Divisional Round with this season’s NFL predictions and are hoping to land a near-10/1 accumulator from handicap picks on all four matches.

With the NFL post-season beginning in early January, we have analysed every previous one since the current format was established back in 2002 to understand what might happen this time around on the road to Super Bowl LV.
Kansas City and Houston were involved in a couple of high-scoring thrillers last term but replicating those classic contests will be tough. It is always easier for defences to prepare for a new NFL season and that should be even more apparent after a summer of disruptions this year.
With the sporting calendar gradually returning to normality in the United States, we’ve taken stock of the most popular sports and identified which franchises have enjoyed the most success to date.
With Free Agency under way, we’re taking a look at bwin’s NFL Draft predictions ahead of this year’s Las Vegas spectacular. Punters can bet on a number of first-round markets and the latest NFL Draft odds suggest we are in for some fireworks when teams are on the clock on April 23.
San Francisco seem to be holding all the aces ahead of Sunday’s NFC Championship clash with Green Bay, having won 37-8 when these teams met here two months ago. However, the Packers have since secured six straight wins and have a wealth of play-offs experience, so this could be much closer.
Kansas City have a point to prove when entertaining Tennessee in Sunday’s AFC Championship game and are tipped to sparkle at Arrowhead Stadium. The Titans edged out the Chiefs 35-32 on home turf during the regular season and prevailed 22-21 in a wild-card clash here a couple of years ago.
