Tom Oldfield’s sports writing journey over the past 20 years has taken him from the Premier League and Champions League to the NFL, NBA, WNBA and MLB, with a wide range of articles and betting previews. Tom has worked closely with London’s Sportsbeat sports news agency as well as (thrillingly!) covering the Toronto Raptors’ 2019 NBA championship run, and he has appeared on BBC World Service and The Back Page podcast.
A graduate of the University of Nottingham in the UK, he is the author of biographies on Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Nadal, Gary Neville and Cesc Fabregas, and he co-authors a long-running series of children’s soccer books with his brother, Matt.
As a regular bettor across the top sports leagues, particularly with FanDuel and bet365, he is well versed on all the major markets and the next big game is rarely far from his thoughts. The best betting advice he has received is to monitor multiple sportsbooks to grab the best possible value.

Jazz vs Lakers Prediction, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Anthony Davis is looking like the No. 1 option the Lakers need him to be, and he'll fry a sad Utah frontcourt at home tonight.
Cavaliers vs Celtics Prediction, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Our NBA picks for Cavaliers vs. Celtics expect Boston to get the last laugh against undefeated Cleveland.
76ers vs Heat Prediction, Picks, & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Joel Embiid might miss yet another game with the 76ers in Miami to face the Heat tonight. He likely won't be 100% if he does suit up and Philly is already missing Tyrese Maxey. The Heat will win and this spread could move even further.
Raptors vs Pacers Prediction, Picks, & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Tom Oldfield's NBA picks believe the Toronto Raptors' Ochai Agbaji will be in his bag vs. the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
Best NBA Player Props Today for 11-17: White Hot From Deep
With a 10-game NBA slate on Sunday, there's no shortage of juicy player props. Tom Oldfield has found three with plenty of value, including Coby White, Jordan Poole, and Darius Garland.
Browns vs Saints Predictions, Picks, and Best Bets for NFL Week 11
With New Orleans' receiving corps decimated by injuries, star running back Alvin Kamara is set up for a big game when he takes on Cleveland.
Chiefs vs Bills Prop Bets: Massive Workload Looms for Hunt
Kareem Hunt's reunion with the defending Super Bowl champs has kept them above water at running back, and we expect the Chiefs veteran to see plenty of carries in Sunday's matchup against the Bills.
Lakers vs Spurs Prediction, Picks, & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
The Los Angeles Lakers haven't had much success away from home, and they'll be in for a low-scoring affair in San Antonio tonight.
Bulls vs Knicks Prediction, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
The Knicks have only played three games at home but will get a chance to show out in front of their home crowd against the visiting Bulls tonight.
Best NBA Player Props Today for 11-11: Anything a Spida Can
Donovan Mitchell hasn't needed to set the court ablaze as a scorer for the Cavs to win 11 straight games to open the season, but that doesn't mean he can't when called upon. Facing a flimsy Chicago defense, Spida will take his shots.
Raptors vs Lakers Prediction, Picks, & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
The 2-8 Raptors haven't looked like a playoff team this season but there are things to like. Despite the losses piling up, Toronto has covered the spread consistently of late. We like the Dinos to do the same vs. the Lakers tonight.
Kings vs Suns Prediction, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
The Suns' depth will be tested by a stacked Sacramento roster, so take the Kings on a coin-flip moneyline tonight.
49ers vs Buccaneers Predictions, Picks, and Best Bets: Revitalized 49ers Break Out
The defending NFC champs have been far from a fashionable product in 2024, but the return of their star running back should have George Kittle & Co. firing on all cylinders to begin Sunday.
Giants vs Panthers Prop Bets: Nabers Takes Flight in Munich
Malik Nabers has emerged as one of the most targeted wideouts in the NFL, and we expect the Giants rookie to shine against a bleak Panthers secondary.
Best NBA Player Props Today for 11-7: Big Mad
It's been a disappointing start for the Spurs this season, and Victor Wembanyama appears to be in the middle of a sophomore slump. Our NBA betting picks will fade him as Deandre Ayton and the Trail Blazers pay a visit.
Best NBA Player Props Today for 11-6: The New Norm
With Kawhi Leonard sidelined and Paul George no longer in town, Norman Powell has had no choice but to light it up for the Clippers. He highlights our NBA prop picks for November 6 below.
Raptors vs Nuggets Prediction, Picks, & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
The Toronto Raptors enter tonight's game as hefty underdogs, but Tom Oldfield believes they are in a position to keep this close, especially with RJ Barrett scoring at will on offense.
Rams vs Seahawks Predictions, Picks, and Best Bets: Los Angeles Stays Ahead of Seattle
This season was looking bleak for the Rams, but now that Stafford has his weapons back, this is a dangerous team.
Colts vs Vikings Predictions, Best Bets, Props, and Odds for Sunday Night Football
The Colts are turning to Joe Flacco for this Sunday Night Football clash against the Vikings, and with the help of Jonathan Taylor, our NFL picks expect Indy to keep things close.
Dolphins vs Bills Predictions, Picks, and Best Bets: Achane Does It All in Losing Effort
The Buffalo Bills will win this game, but De'Von Achane will do everything he can to at least keep things interesting.
