George Pickens has cleared his receiving yards projection in nine of his last 10 games, including the last seven in a row.

Bet on Pickens cashing this prop once again against Detroit, which has allowed three receivers to top 79 yards in the last two games.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff has gone 5-for-5 against his passing yards projection the past five weeks, throwing for 256, 279, 255, 320, and 284 yards.

Now he faces a Cowboys defense that allows the third-most passing yards in the NFL — a defense that got shredded by Patrick Mahomes (261 yards) and Jalen Hurts (289) in two of the last three games.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are sliding, having lost three of their previous four. While Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens endured a blip against Cincy, they've won five of their previous six games. And Jackson hasn't yet reached his pre-injury peak. That should be coming soon.

Is Baltimore fraudulent? Here's where we'll find out. The Steelers just got spanked by the Bills, and the Ravens lost by 18 to the lowly Bengals. Give me Lamar here.

James Madison became just the third team to go undefeated in the Sun Belt in the league’s championship game era. The only other teams in the country to go undefeated in conference play are No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana. 

The Dukes are outgaining opponents 469.6 to 263 during their 10-game winning streak. And James Madison knows how to step on an opponent’s throat after halftime. Outside of Marshall who ran for 141 yards second-half yards against James Madison, the Dukes have held their other seven Sun Belt opponents to 19 combined rushing yards after halftime.

Troy has struggled against quality G6 opponents, losing blowouts to both Memphis and Old Dominion. James Madison is the second-highest ranked G6 team by SP+ (No. 24), and the average margin of victory in Sun Belt play is 42.5 to 15.1.

Jacksonville State is No. 86 in EPA per dropback, and Kennesaw State should be able to lock in on stopping running back Cam Cook. Kennesaw State's offense is dynamic with Amari Odom at QB, and should expose a Gamecocks team that's No. 113 in defensive SP+.

Spread
Jacksonville State Gamecocks logo JVST -1.5 (-103)

Jacksonville State has the third-best rushing attack in the nation, and Kennesaw State is allowing 172.6 rushing yards per game. The first time these two teams met, Jacksonville State ran for 252 yards in a 35-26 win.

Vassell is coming off a disappointing performance in a home win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, but he is expected to bounce back after shooting just 4-of-11 from the field.

Timo Meier has been a godsend for the Devils in Jack Hughes' absence.

Meier has scored in five of his last six games and leads New Jersey in shots on goal. He also paces the Devils in expected goals with 13.2, nearly four more than the next-closest teammate, according to MoneyPuck.

Buffalo Sabres logo BUF @ Philadelphia Flyers logo PHI Dec 03 | 7:30 PM ET

Travis Konecny has been one of Philadelphia's top setup men all season, ranking second on the team in helpers.

He also has three assists over his last two appearances and has logged at least one assist in three straight head-to-head meetings with the Sabres.

Shots On Goal 2.5 - FT
Alex Tuch logo Alex Tuch o2.5 Shots On Goal 2.5 - FT (+185)

Alex Tuch hasn't exactly been a shots on goal machine this season, but he's gone Over this total in three straight games and 50% of his previous 10.

That's a much better hit rate than the probability these odds imply, which is why I see value here.

NCAAB Picks

Louisville Cardinals logo LOU @ Arkansas Razorbacks logo ARK Dec 03 | 7:15 PM ET
Assists
MB Mikel Brown o5.5 Assists (+105)
Best Odds
Pick made: 5 hours ago

Arkansas will try to get the ball out of Mikel Brown Jr.'s hands tonight. He's had six or more assists in five of his seven games to start his freshman campaign.

Spread
Arkansas Razorbacks logo ARK +3.5 (-115)
Best Odds
Pick made: 5 hours ago

This will be Louisville's first road game of the year, so I'm betting against the Cardinals winning by more than a possession. I expect this game to come down to the wire.

North Carolina State Wolfpack logo NCST @ Auburn Tigers logo AUB Dec 03 | 9:15 PM ET
Total
North Carolina State Wolfpack logo Auburn Tigers logo o164.5 (-115)
Best Odds

In two losses to Seton Hall and Texas in Maui, NC State allowed both opponents to shoot 64.7% or better from inside the arc, as rim protection is an issue for the undersized Wolfpack. Compounding the problem even more is that Texas also made half of its 32 3-point attempts, which led to the Longhorns averaging 1.42 points per possession.

The Over has cashed in all five games Auburn has been favored, including the four games at Neville Arena. That is why I am not concerned that this total has plummeted from an opening number of 167.5.

Free moneyline picks

A moneyline pick is simply wagering on who will win a game - no point spreads involved. Odds show favorites with a minus (‑) and underdogs with a plus (+).

Imagine the Knicks are favorites and the Nets are underdogs:

TeamMoneyline Odds
Knicks–250
Nets+400
  • $100 on Knicks (‑250) → Profit = $100 × (100 / 250) = $40 (total payout $140)
  • $100 on Nets (+400) → Profit = $100 × 4 = $400 (total payout $500)

Free Over/Under picks

Over/Under betting doesn’t care who wins the game, just how many points, runs, or goals are scored, or how long a fight lasts.

  • Book sets a line → i.e., Over/Under 54.5 for a football game
  • You choose:
    • Over 54.5
    • Under 54.5
  • Odds are usually around –110, meaning you bet $110 to win $100 (and your $110 stake returns $210 total)
  • If the final score is:
    • 56–22 (total 78) → Over wins
    • 24–20 (total 44) → Under wins
  • Pushes are avoided thanks to the half-point; i.e., 54.5 guarantees Over or Under wins
    • If the total is set at 54 and that’s the exact final score, all bets on either side will be refunded (voided) as a tie

Free spread picks

Our expert picks typically focus on picks against the spread as one of the most popular bets in any team sport. Run lines and puck lines are used in baseball and hockey, respectively, but refer to the same thing.

  • The favorite is shown with a minus (–) and must win by more than the spread to cover
  • The underdog has a plus (+) and must either win outright or lose by fewer points than the spread
  • Spreads often include a .5 (i.e., 3.5) to avoid a tie or “push.” If the final margin equals the exact spread, bets are refunded as a tie

Free prop picks

Prop picks allow bettors to target specific players, teams, or game events. Player prop odds vary based on probability - i.e., a prop might offer –110 odds (bet $110 to win $100) for a likely result or +250 (bet $100 to win $250) for less likely ones. Prop markets often present value opportunities, especially when sportsbooks pay less attention to niche events compared to main markets, and there are typically far more prop bets to choose from in any given game.

How we make our picks & predictions

Our No. 1 focus at Sportsbook Review is always on price shopping, and finding you the best betting line and odds for each pick. Why should you pay more (bet shorter odds) when you can fetch a greater profit at a different sportsbook all while needing the exact same outcome on your bet?

This is the most important part of the process for any game picks, player props, and futures bets. To be a winning bettor over the long term, you simply can’t be leaving money on the table by betting shorter odds when better numbers are out there.

However, this step typically follows our experts' analysis of matchups using advanced statistics, as well as player and team performance, to determine their best bets in any given betting market. Certain matchups favor certain players or positions, and we always look to who’s best equipped for success in those matchups when starting our game picks and player props.

We caution against putting too much emphasis on injuries, weather, or any narrative or news-based factor. The sportsbooks are almost always ahead of this when it comes to setting and adjusting their lines. Bettors don’t have an edge just because Patrick Mahomes won’t be playing against the Broncos on Sunday. That’s already been baked into the lines.

It’s important to balance betting on favorites, underdogs, and long shots. Favorites come with shorter odds for a reason, but they don’t always win. It’s equally important to know that longer odds represent a lower probability of a winning bet. Diversify your betting portfolio, manage your bankroll, and track your results.

Why trust our experts?

Sportsbook Review has been around for more than 20 years, and is a trusted source of betting picks as well as honest reviews of our best sports betting sites.

We carefully match our betting experts to the sports and topics they’re most passionate about to recommend picks they’re betting themselves. Our 1-to-5-star confidence rating is based on the matchup, their research, and the implied probability of the odds. It’s rare to see a 5-star pick on home run and touchdown predictions, as well as futures bets, due to the inherent nature of those betting markets and the lower implied probability of the longer odds.
