There are only 100 days before the 2022 World Cup, and here’s why we can hardly wait. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider, guest columnist Doug McIntyre reveals the 50 biggest reasons he’s excited for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which is only 100 days away ... we look at why the Dodgers have a pitching edge that could only get stronger ... and more! The 2022 FIFA World Cup is just 100 days away, and the excitement surrounding the tournament is starting to feel palpable. Here are 50 things, in no particular order, that we're looking forward to or hoping to see when play begins in Qatar on Nov. 20. 1. Christian Eriksen to steal the show An on-field heart attack during last summer's Euros nearly cost the Danish midfielder his life, but Eriksen made a full recovery and is now back atop his game. He's also the centerpiece of the most talented Denmark World Cup entry in decades, one capable of making a deep run. 2. Can Mexico finally win a knockout game? El Tri has survived the group stage and advanced to the second round at seven straight tournaments. Seven straight times, Mexico lost their first knockout game. Will either streak end in Qatar? 3. Young USMNT to advance to quarterfinals Getting to Qatar was Job 1 after the USMNT failed to qualify for 2018. Advancing is now the goal for the youngest team in the field. Christian Pulisic & Co. are aiming a lot higher, but reaching the last eight for the first time since 2002 would be a smashing success.

[BET OF THE DAY] [BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( NFL preseason, Saturday: Seahawks +3.5 vs. Steelers From FOX Sports NFL Analyst Geoff Schwartz: Pete Carroll is 36-20 ATS in the preseason. As a competitive defensive coach, he wants to win these games. Defensive coaches care way more about winning preseason games while offensive coaches care about getting their work in and going home. The Seahawks have a competitive quarterback competition and will try to put these guys in situations to succeed against the Steelers. Trust me, Seattle will just want this game more. I’m going with the trends and taking Carroll’s 62.4% preseason ATS record against Mike Tomlin, who is slightly under .500 in that category. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
