France came from behind to defeat Croatia 4-2 in a replay of the 2018 World Cup final on Tuesday.

Didier Deschamps side won by the same scoreline when the teams met in Moscow two years ago and they came out on top again in the Nations League Group A3 clash at the Stade de France.

A fine strike from Dejan Lovren put the visitors in front, but Antoine Griezmann struck and Dominik Livakovic scored an unfortunate own goal in the space of three first-half minutes to turn the game around.

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books and I’m trying my best not to overreact to some of the results, but too many incidents have me shaking up my NFL power rankings heading into Week 2. Even though top of the list didn’t see much movement, there are plenty of movers and shakers from 5th to 32nd.

In games on a neutral field, every higher-ranked team would be favored or, at least, a pick ’em on the in this format. For two teams ranked closely together, the difference in the spread would be a home-field advantage (if any), which varies slightly from team to team.

Coming off two straight losses, including a blowout at home against the Washington Commanders, the Arizona Cardinals are in for a long afternoon against the San Francisco 49ers.

Even without Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers have shown flashes that they’ll again be a Super Bowl contender. I expect the run game to be the difference in my Cardinals vs. 49ers predictions and NFL picks for Sunday, October 6.
