Tagovailoa has thrown a pick in every game this season, but tonight, he faces a defense with zero interceptions. While he's been turnover-prone thus far, Tagovailoa threw interceptions in just three of 11 games last year.

Fields threw a 33-yard completion in Week 1. He's now completed a pass of at least 33 yards in 12 of his last 20 games, and he's facing a defense that's allowing the second-most yards per attempt this year.

Brown is averaging just 2.0 yards per carry, and he's yet to top 47 yards in a game. Even though the Broncos have given up a lot of rushing yards this season, if the Bengals are in a negative game script, as the spread suggests, Brown won't get enough carries to hit this Over.

Dobbins has scored in all three games, and he has nearly 75% of the running back carries this season. Tonight, he takes on a defense that has allowed five touchdowns to running backs in three weeks.

Wisconsin just isn't getting better under Luke Fickell, whose seat is as hot as ever after losing by 17 points to Maryland in Week 4 - the Badgers were a 10-point betting favorite in that game and are 1-3 ATS. Meanwhile, Michigan has covered in two straight games thanks to a defense that's ranked in the top 15 by SP+ and five-star freshman QB Bryce Underwood getting better each week.

The Cubs finished the regular season sixth in the league in avoiding strikeouts as a lineup. Pivetta's ERA and strikeout rate were significantly worse on the road in 2025, and Chicago ranked seventh in OPS against righties.

Bellinger is 5-for-14 with a home run in his career against Crochet. He also raked against left-handed pitchers this year, slashing .353/.415/.601, making him and Aaron Judge the only Yankees with an OPS of 1.000 or better in that split (min. 30 AB).

Author

Judge has slashed just .205/.318/.450 in 58 career postseason games. He is also just 3-for-15 with 11 strikeouts in his career against Crochet. Though two of those hits have been home runs, I am fading Judge’s chances of going deep in this game when facing a pitcher who has allowed five or fewer hits in each of his previous four starts.

The Aces have been a dominant home team all season long, including leading at halftime in three of their four home playoff games so far. I anticipate Las Vegas coming out strong in a must-win contest.

Points Scored

Wilson is only averaging a shade over 21 points in the first four games of the series. However, she shot the ball uncharacteristically poorly in two games. I expect the MVP to be at her most dominant on home court as Las Vegas looks to advance to the WNBA Finals.

Oklahoma City will begin its first-ever title defense with a win on opening night. The Rockets may prove to be legitimate title contenders, but it will take time for them to find their groove after the addition of Kevin Durant. The Thunder set the all-time record for point differential in 2024 (averaging plus-12.87 per game), and they'll roll to a comfortable victory here.

The Lakers made some positive offseason additions, and that should only help the squad build on their 50-win season last year. LeBron and Doncic having home court advantage should be enough to help cover this short line on opening night in Los Angeles.

There's simply too much offensive firepower on these teams for this to be anything other than a scoring showcase on opening night. The Warriors and Lakers combined for more than 225 points in each of their matchups last season, and Luka Doncic only played in one of those four games. Expect LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Doncic to kick off their seasons with a bang.

The Florida Panthers should be healthy and have finally recovered from their celebratory binge after winning their second straight Stanley Cup. They'll be prepared for last season's NHL's worst road team.

The Florida Panthers will get back to business without suffering from a Stanley Cup hangover, primarily thanks to playing the lowly Chicago Blackhawks. The opener occurs in the Sunshine State, providing a more conducive platform for the Panthers to explode offensively.

The Pittsburgh Penguins had the sixth-worst defensive record on the road last season, and the New York Rangers conceded the ninth-most at Madison Square Garden. In addition, three of the previous four meetings had at least six goals.

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.
