I'd be shocked if we see Jayden Daniels line up under center after sustaining another injury in the Commanders' woeful loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14.

The G-Men are coming off a bye week, and I'm hoping for a performance that reflects a well-rested group.

Washington has won three straight games against its division rivals. Granted, it managed just 206 total yards in last week’s loss to the Vikings. But if it gets better pass protection from an offensive line that allowed pressures on nine of Jayden Daniels’ 25 dropbacks, Marcus Mariota has enough experience as a starter this year to pull the upset in a clash of two unmotivated teams.

A.J. Brown has been a target hog since he went public with concerns about his role in the Eagles offense. Brown has seen double-digit targets in four straight games, including a season-high 13 last week. He also leads the NFL in designed/first read targets over the last three weeks with 32.

Brown has paid off that increased volume with three straight 100-yard receiving games. He now faces a Raiders defense that has allowed the second-most targets and receptions to wide receivers over the last 12 weeks.

Brown has three touchdowns over the last three games.

Prior to missing the Monday night contest last week, Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter had also missed two other games with an injury. In those games, Cowboys running backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders combined for 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 19 attempts, while Giants running back Cam Skattebo went for 98 yards and three scores.

Now the Chargers are coming off a game where they ran for 169 yards and 4.4 yards per carry in Carter’s absence, suggesting Jeanty should have more running room than usual.

Eli Heidenreich is Navy's all-time leader in receiving touchdowns (14) and is a threat to score through the air or on the ground. He leads the country in yards per route run by nearly a full yard (4.79) and is one of two players in the nation averaging over 20 yards per catch on 40-plus receptions.

Boise State has allowed 24 rushing scores this season. Washington has scored 29 of its 51 offensive touchdowns on the ground. Williams has scored the second-most rushing touchdowns on the team, and he will get plenty of opportunities, considering he has at least 10 carries in eight games.

Receiving Yards

Boston topped 60 yards in five of his seven games against Big Ten opponents. The only two times he failed to hit that mark were when he faced the first and third-ranked pass defenses in the nation.

NBA Picks

Cleveland Cavaliers logo CLE @ Washington Wizards logo WAS Dec 12 | 7:00 PM ET
Total Rebounds
Marvin Bagley III logo Marvin Bagley III o6.5 Total Rebounds (+100)
Best Odds
Pick made: 2 hours ago

Marvin Bagley III has averaged 6.4 rebounds on 14.4 rebound chances over the past five games since the Washington Wizards lost Alex Sarr to injury. The Cavs rank 24th in defensive rebounds allowed and are without Jarrett Allen.

Atlanta Hawks logo ATL @ Detroit Pistons logo DET Dec 12 | 7:00 PM ET

Onyeka Okongwu logo Onyeka Okongwu u11.5 Rebounds and Assists (-124)

Pick made: 3 hours ago

Atlanta center Onyeka Okongwu's stats actually decrease when playing without Kristaps Porzingis. He's played the Pistons twice without Porzingis, failing to record more than 10 rebounds + assists in both games.

Faulk isn't putting up the same shot volume as he was earlier in the season, but he still ranks third on St. Louis in SOG and couldn't ask for a better matchup tonight to hit the Over on this prop.

The Blackhawks allow the most shots on goal per game to blue-liners (9.4), according to ShotPropz.

Points

Bedard has 12 multi-point games, including his most recent appearance earlier this week and a three-point outing versus the Blues earlier this season.

This is a favorable matchup for Bedard as well against a St. Louis side that continues to get rocked defensively.

Queens trots out a unique positionless lineup for an ASUN team, one that is predicated on hunting mismatches and being prolific in drive-and-kick sets. But this is also the Royals’ first game in nine days, and is in a prime letdown spot with games against ACC and SEC teams (Wake Forest, Arkansas, and Auburn) looming in the next three matchups.

For as bad as the Bulldogs have been in covering just three of nine road games, Queens is an even worse 0-3 ATS following a win.

Alex Karaban has hit 20 3-pointers in 10 games this season. He's knocked down multiple triples in six outings. The Longhorns should give him plenty of looks, as they rank 40th in defensive 3-point rate.

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.
