The Fourth of July is a great time to celebrate. Hot dogs, hamburgers, fireworks and warm weather Independence Day is a 1-seed when it comes to holidays. The nations birthday also means football is right around the corner. The late, great John Madden used to say July 4 is what he considered the start of football season, as training camp is just weeks away, and the start of the regular season is just two months away. As we prep for football season and fantasy drafts, the best bet I think to be made right now is the Buffalo Bills to win the AFC East at -125.

The Bills had won this division five consecutive years until last season, when the New England Patriots unseated the Bills on their way to another AFC championship. But last year, the Patriots had a pillow-soft schedule, playing just four of their 17 games against teams that would go on to make the playoffs. The Steelers, Panthers and two games against the Bills were the only other playoff teams the Patriots encountered last regular season, and this year, a first-place schedule will give the Pats a significantly tougher test. That schedule includes the Jaguars, Broncos, Seahawks, Chiefs, Chargers, Lions, Packers, Bears and two games against the Bills. The Super Bowl hangover has long been an obstacle for teams who struggle to bounce back the following year after losing the Big Game, and the last three Super Bowl losers combined to win zero playoff games the following year, with two of those teams missing the playoffs entirely. The Bills finished runners-up in the AFC East last year but were still able to win 12 games. That was their seventh consecutive double-digit win season. Bills quarterback Josh Allen is one of the leagues best and most durable players. While his teams have yet to get over the hump and win or even play in a Super Bowl, hes a regular-season winning machine. With Allen, the Bills have won 10 or more games every year except for his rookie year in 2018. With the Patriots' difficult schedule and the consistency of the Bills, I like the AFC East to once again go back to the Bills for what would be a sixth division title in seven years. PICK: Bills (-125) to win AFC East

Novak Djokovic is seeking to equal Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon men's singles titles [Getty Images]Novak Djokovic claimed his latest piece of history as he battled past Arthur Rinderknech to reach the Wimbledon fourth round and equal Roger Federer's men's record of most singles match wins at SW19.After the seven-time champion produced a statement performance against former top-10 player Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round, Djokovic had to overcome a far sterner test on his return to Centre Court.But the 39-year-old Serb withstood an inspired resurgence from French 25th seed Rinderknech to prevail 7-5 6-4 1-6 7-6 (7-4).Nine-time women's champion Martina Navratilova is now the only player to have won more singles matches than Djokovic at Wimbledon, with 120 wins.Victory also meant Djokovic matched eight-time men's singles champion Federer's record of Wimbledon fourth-round appearances by reaching that stage for the 18th time.After being told he had matched Federer's record of 105, Djokovic joked: "I propose a match between me and Roger for 106! Whoever wins it, gets it. Let's just stop this here and let's call him down.""To be able to make history on this court is a huge honour and privilege. This was always a childhood dream of mine. "I'm not really thinking about how many more I can get, I'm just really trying to win the match on a given day."Djokovic, the men's record 24-time major winner, will face Roman Safiullin for a place in the quarter-finals after the Russian qualifier stunned Joao Fonseca 6-3 6-3 6-3.Defending champion Jannik Sinner was tested but came through 6-4 6-3 6-4 against American Jenson Brooksby to reach the fourth round.Everything appeared to be going smoothly once again for Djokovic as he wrapped up his sixth and seventh successive sets at this year's championships to assert himself against the big-hitting Rinderknech.Djokovic had delighted the audience with sumptuous shot-making up to that point, taking a bow and putting a finger to his ear after executing a volley at full stretch on his way to polishing off the opening set.That was a clear signal that he had found his rhythm following a start in which the players traded early breaks, but Rinderknech continued to ask questions as he forced an early break point in set two.However, when Djokovic responded by immediately turning the pressure on his opponent and clinching a third break point in the following game, the outcome seemed inevitable.To his credit, Rinderknech, who ousted third seed Alexander Zverev here last year, stuck to his task - and he was rewarded with successive breaks of serve as he blew Djokovic away in the third set.The enthralled crowd became increasingly vocal in support of both players as Rinderknech continued to grow in belief deep into the fourth set.With a tie-break required to separate them, the decider remained on serve until the 10th point, when Rinderknech missed a forehand.In a fitting conclusion to an absorbing three-hour contest, both players ended the match on the ground after Rinderknech threw himself at a drop shot and Djokovic responded with a dive of his own to clinch his first match point, prompting the crowd to jump to their feet and applaud their efforts."I think I've done everything I needed to do today, under circumstances that weren't maybe as good for me as they were in the second round," Djokovic added."At this age and stage in my career, every day brings something new and unpredictable for me. "I'm hoping that I will come out at my best in a few days' time."Osaka reaches Wimbledon fourth round for first time'Not a carnival sideshow' - doubles players fear cutbacksSinner thanks crowd - and serve - for winJannik Sinner is bidding for his first major title since Wimbledon last year [Getty Images]On Court One, Sinner showed glimpses of brilliance to beat world number 81 Brooksby, but was not at his absolute best.Sinner, not usually a player to involve the crowd, asked them for more noise after a stunning move to the net saw him bring up a third match point.The Italian said afterwards he had "needed that today" from the crowd to help him over the line - but his serve was almost imperious throughout.He won 87% of points behind his first serve and hit 13 aces to two double faults.The only time it faltered was when he was broken at the start of the third set - a blip he immediately corrected - and when he served for the match at 5-3 up.He followed one double fault with a 129mph ace and used his serve out wide to great effect against Brooksby, but 27 unforced errors showed there is still work to be done.Sinner has won all 20 of his third-round Grand Slam matches - a men's Open era record.He will face Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki next after the world number 150 stunned rising Spanish star Rafael Jodar.Live scores, results and order of playGet tennis news sent straight to your phone

바쁜 현대 사회와 지친 일상 속에서 찾아내는 치유의 가치 오늘날을 살아가는 현대인들은 끊임없는 업무와 학업, 그리고 가사 노동과 다양한 인간관계 속에서 엄청난 양의 피로를 축적하며 살아가고 있습니다. 신체적인 긴장감은 물론이고 정신적인 스트레스까지 겹치면서 많은 분들이 만성 피로나 근육통, 두통 같은 고질적인 증상에 시각적으로나 체감상으로 노출되어 있습니다. 이러한 상태가 지속되면 면역력이 떨어지고 일상의 전반적인 효율성이나 삶의 질이 크게 저하될 수밖에 없습니다. 하지만 바쁜 일과 중에서 시간을 내어 멀리 있는 전문 스파 시설이나 테라피 숍을 직접 방문하기란 생각보다 쉽지 않은 일입니다. 이동하는 과정에서 발생하는 시간 낭비와 교통체증, 그리고 타인과 공간을 공유해야 한다는 점에서 오는 심리적인...

U.S. men's national team star striker Folarin Balogun will not be available for the World Cup round of 16 game vs. Belgium after getting a red card in the win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, a U.S. Soccer spokesman confirmed. Balogun, who scored in that 2-0 win, was sent off in the 64th minute of the second half by referee Rafael Claus after stepping on Bosnia and Herzegovina player Tarik Muharemovi's ankle. A player who receives a red card is automatically dismissed for the rest of that match and must sit out the subsequent match. That means the U.S. will be without its leading goalscorer at the tournament for a crucial match on Monday against Belgium in Seattle with a quarterfinals spot on the line. Who Could Replace Balogun? U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino has two other striker options in his squad: Ricardo Pepi and Haji Wright. Expect either player to get the start with Balogun on the bench. Pochettino could also go with a dual striker setup with both Pepi and Wright up top. The other option could be a formation change where star forward Christian Pulisic plays more in a false No. 9 position where he'll be even more involved in the attack.
