The Eagles sit atop the NFC East with a record of 3-4-1. The team is coming off their bye week which, for fans, should hopefully mean they are rested and ready to go. The team opens as the slight favorites against the New York Giants who reside in the same division at 2-7.It was only two weeks ago that these two rivals met to play Thursday Night Football. It was extremely close with a score of 22-21, but the Eagles were able to get the best of the Giants. There's a solid chance the game plays out similarly. Plus, the Eagles have won the last eight games they've faced against the Giants. That doesn't predict the future, but it is telling.Not much has changed for either team in the short amount of time. The Giants are coming off their much needed win over Washington. One difference, however, is the prize for this game's winner. If the Giants can best the Eagles, they will move into a first place tie. If the Eagles can outplay the Giants, they'll be in first in the most definitive w...

At this point in the season, no one really knows what to expect from the Tampa Bay Bucs. From one week to the next we get excellent gameplay, but then duds. Last week was one of Tom Brady's worst games as a pro, so we're expecting a much better performance in Week 10 for the Bucs vs Panthers.This weekend will actually be the second time the Panthers and Bucs play in 2020 with Tom Brady and Teddy Bridgewater both at Quarterback. That said, we're expecting a completely different game than the product on the field in Week 2.Earlier this season the Bucs beat the Panthers pretty bad, with a final score of 31-17 at home. Time time, though, the game is in Carolina and the team has grown quite a bit over the past several weeks. In fact, the Panthers almost upset the defending-champs Chiefs only a few days ago. Basically, things might go a little different for the Panthers, especially if they can take a few tips from how the Saints slowed down Tom Brady.Two important pieces of the puzzl...

The British survival reality TV show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! is returning for its 20th season and we have all the details on how you can watch it online or on TV.Each season of I'm a Celebrity sees a new group of celebrities living together in extreme conditions with few creature comforts. For this reason, each celebrity camper has to participate in a series of gruelling trials and fun-filled challenges with the aim of securing additional food and treats for the group. At the same time though, viewers can vote out campers during their stay and in the final episode, the votes are tallied to determine which celebrity wins the series to be crowned as King or Queen of the jungle.While I'm a Celebrity is usually filmed in the Australian jungle, this year the show had to make some big changes due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. According to ITV Studios' director of entertainment Richard Cowles, the show's producers tried everything possible to shoot this season in Australi...

The Jacksonville Jaguars and backup QB Jake Luton looked pretty good in week 9, even though they fail short and lost to the Texans. Things aren't getting any easier traveling into Green Bay for week 10. Here's how to watch it live from anywhere.Before the season started, fans in Jacksonville had high hopes. Everyone loved Gardner Minshew, his swagger, and his mustache. Things haven't turned out quite as expected, though, and they sit at just (1-7) as they head to Green Bay.Things will be even more difficult for the Jags this week going up against A-Rod and the (6-2) Packers. In fact, Vegas already has the Packers as a 14-point favorite, which doesn't bode well for the Jacksonville Jaguars.Every team has endured injury or COVID problems this year, including both the Packers and the Jaguars. Whether that's the star QB, running backs, or defensive players. Green Bay has several players in the COVID protocol but should have both Aaron Jones and Jamall Williams back for week 10. How...

All this thing needs is a calculator and PacMan, and I'm back in 4th grade.My inner 80s child was immediately drawn to Amazfit Neo, and he kicked and screamed at me for weeks to test it out and write up this review. Just looking at the device brought back a flood of fond memories of my first "real" digital watches, and I relished the idea of going back to a simpler time in tech when beeps and notifications weren't bombarding me at all hours of the day. The fact that this watch claimed to be capable of basic activity tracking was a bonus because right now I feel like I need to track my fitness in order to stay healthy and happy. But was the Amazfit Neo up to the challenge? That's what I set to find out.So far, I've spent just over a week with the Amazfit Neo, and I can say that while it's not the smartwatch that most people are looking for, it just might be the right fit for you if you're feeling nostalgic for the good old days. There's not a whole lot of tech to dissect here, but...

If you're looking to watch two high-powered NFL offenses go head to head and score a ton of points, you'll want to check out the Seahawks vs RAMS in week 10. Here's how to watch it live from anywhere in the world.This year the Seattle Seahawks are one of the best in terms of offense. They score fast, often, and with ease.

Anyone and everyone can score against them, which means Jared Goff should have a solid game after coming off a bye.The LA Rams struggled in their last game against the Dolphins, but they're still 5-3 and in the hunt for a playoff spot. If they're going to get the offense going against anyone and firing on all cylinders, it'll be vs the Seahawks.

He's led his team to several victo...

The New Orleans Saints are coming off perhaps its biggest win so far this season, absolutely crushing the Tampa Bay Bucs and Tom Brady. Now, they'll have to face a similar defense but a very injured 49ers team in Week 10. Here's how to watch it live worldwide.This would actually be a great game to watch if the 49ers weren't missing the vast majority of core players. Instead, the entire team needs to have that "next man up" mentality if they want to beat the Saints, or even remotely slow down Drew Brees.As things sit right now the 49ers are missing starting QB Jimmy G, TE Kittle, DE Bosa, half the defense, and several other key players. As a result, they've struggled to manage games and lost two in a row. That said, the 49ers always play the Saints tough, so this game could end up being a little closer than expected.San Francisco 49ers vs New Orleans Saints: When and where?San Fran 49ers backup quarterback Nick Mullens and crew (4-5) will head to the Superdome where they're ne...

It's taken months for the U.S. to provide Qualcomm's licenses.What you need to knowQualcomm has received permission to resume business with Huawei despite current sanctions.The licenses are related to the sale of 4G technology from Qualcomm.Lack of access to 5G technology could still affect Huawei, which is low on Kirin chips.Huawei is getting a much-needed break in the form of newly obtained licenses giving Qualcomm permission to sell chips to the smartphone maker. This comes after over a year of sanctions imposed by the U.S., barring companies from supplying components to Huawei. And while it should provide some relief for Huawei, it comes with a major caveat.A spokeswoman from Qualcomm told Reuters that they've "received a license for a number of products, which includes some 4G products." This means that while the world is making its transition into 5G, which has been a major selling point for smartphones this year, Huawei seems limited to only 4G technology from Qual...

When your phone leaves the factory a full version behind, offering just one platform update isn't good enough.I was pretty excited to see OnePlus expanding its budget offerings with the Nord line coming to the U.S. It comes at a time when people who need a phone right now might also need a cheap phone and we're seeing the company's prices rise for its premium line of phones like the OnePlus 8T. Better inexpensive phones are always a good thing. Inexpensive phones are great. Keeping them updated makes them better.Then my excitement faded a good bit when I found out that the Nord N10 5G and N100 would ship with Android 10 and only get one Android version update. When you ship a phone that's already a version behind, is getting on the current platform really an update?Of course, OnePlus isn't alone here. Plenty of cheaper Android phones only get one update and the very cheapest might not get updated at all. And OnePlus is promising two years' worth of security updates which a...

Stock Android phones are rare at this point in 2020. If you do want one that offers a lot of screen, a decent camera, and guaranteed updates — the field narrows substantially. The Nokia 8.3 is Nokia's 2020 flagship. Running on the Android One platform and using the tried and true Snapdragon 765 to bring 5G for cheap, it's a fairly appealing offering to people who've been fans of Nokia's earlier efforts.While our review remains forthcoming, other reviews across the web are broadly mixed as far as quality goes. When it comes to pricing, however, most agree that the 8.3 5G is more expensive than it should be. This limited Amazon UK deal in the lead up to Black Friday helps soothe that somewhat, taking £100 off the asking price to bring it down to £399 for the base Nokia 8.3 5G (that's the 64GB variant that's paired with 6GB of RAM).Priced RightNokia 8.3 5G | £100 off at Amazon£399 at AmazonThe Nokia 8.3 5G pairs 5G and Stock Android with the company's slick hardwar...

Getting a second-hand phone doesn't have to be overly complicated or stressful.Over the last few years, the cost of smartphones has skyrocketed. It's no longer uncommon to see phones being sold for $1,000 or more, making the decision to buy a new handset quite the investment. Thanks to the ever-growing used smartphone market, though, it's rather easy to take the sting out of those increasing prices. The used marketplace is a great way to save some cash on your next phone purchase, and if you have old devices lying around that you aren't using anymore, selling them allows someone else to use it while simultaneously putting extra money in your pocket — making it that much easier to get your hands on a top-notch phone for yourself.Things to consider before you buy a used phoneWe've already talked about the principles of selling your phone, and you can keep all of those in mind as you go to buy a used phone. Go through the same sort of checklist — factory reset, SIM un...

Alexa is going to try and read your mind, but it's probably going to annoy you more than it helps you.What you need to knowAlexa is going to be more proactive with skills in response to user queries.It will now recommend skills to customers based on what it thinks they want after it responds to an initial query.Amazon is rolling this out to U.S. English speakers first.Amazon is working on building out its Alexa digital assistant to be more context-sensitive when responding to user queries. It's rolling out a feature where the assistant will try and guess what you want it to do after making a request. Think of this way; if you ask a waiter for the bill, they would ask if you're paying by cash or card because it's a natural follow-up question.
