Goedert leads the Eagles in red-zone targets (11) and targets inside the 10 (8). The Commanders allow a ton of receiving scores, ranking third-worst in scores allowed per game to tight ends (0.64). Philadelphia should have a few trips near the Washington end zone, and with Brown’s struggles and Smith’s small frame, Goedert is the best option

With Zach Ertz on injured reserve, the 2024 second-round pick – who just ripped off a 36-yard catch last week – stands out. Sinnott has 98th percentile burst and 95th percentile agility at the position, per PlayerProfiler. He has no one in front of him but John Bates, who is primarily a blocker.

I trust Jayden Reed to find paydirt. Reed racked up six targets (one red-zone) on a season-high 72.1% route participation rate a week ago. The volume and matchup both stand out. With Watson, Golden, and Wicks all banged-up, Reed stands out as a sharp pick due to his versatility across the formation.

I favor the Packers despite the road trip here. Green Bay’s offense leads the NFL in EPA per dropback. Chicago’s defense ranks 12th in EPA per dropback, but when we filter out plays with turnovers, a major source of variance, the Bears plummet to 28th. Trust Matt LaFleur's passing attack to get the best of Chicago.

Miami's offense runs through its freshman star, with Malachi Toney having 31 targets in his last two games. The Hurricanes will need him to be a focal point against the Aggies, especially with Toney having eight TDs in his last eight games.

Miami is in a position to pull off this upset because of its trench play. The Hurricanes are among just a few teams to rank top 10 in the Power Four in sacks and sacks allowed. If they can protect Carson Beck and pressure Marcl Reed, Texas A&M will be in trouble.

We are going to have an NBA Cup championship hangover on our hands. The Sixers have won four of their last six, and should keep this one close against New York.

Tyrese Maxey is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and assists this season with 43.4 combined per game. The star guard is back after missing the last two games with an illness and should be more than fresh for his first outing in 12 days.

That rest advantage should be even more pronounced against a New York squad that's playing its third game in four days.

If Victor Wembanyama rests (or plays reduced minutes) on the second night of a back-to-back, Luke Kornet's scoring prop has solid value. He's scored 24 points over his past two games.

The Panthers have owned the Hurricanes, scoring at least five goals against Carolina in six of their previous eight meetings.

And no one did more damage last season than Bennett, who scored six versus the Hurricanes. He also enters in solid form after a slow start, having scored four goals across his last five contests.

MacKinnon continues to author a season for the ages, with four goals across his last three games to give him a league-leading 28.

He's averaging an incredible 0.85 goals per appearance in 2025-26. I'm putting some cash down on him finding the back of the net against the Jets tonight, even at minus-money.

If Villanova can slow this game down, it has a chance to pull off an upset. The Wildcats rank 347th in adjusted tempo, but their efficiency (25th) speaks for itself.

Villanova’s Acaden Lewis has matured after being benched at the end of the BYU game in the season opener. He was named Big East Freshman of the Week for the third time after averaging 11 points and five assists last week, and now has the 30th-highest assist rate (36.5%) of any D-I player.

BYU has held its last two opponents to 20 points in the first half. Abilene Christian might struggle to reach 20, as it ranks 285th in adjusted offensive efficiency and 300th in tempo.

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.
