The Seahawks’ turnover issues are becoming crippling. Sam Darnold has thrown five interceptions since returning from injury in Week 3, and the team is tied for the most turnovers in the league over that span. Meanwhile, Denver’s defense forced three turnovers in the fourth quarter alone last week, and could turn the tide in this game with more turnover fortune.

It's rarely pretty, but Denver almost always finds a way to come out on top at Mile High. The Broncos are 17-3 at home over the last three seasons.

A key matchup in the trenches leaves the Jaguars vulnerable to an upset this week. Trevor Lawrence just lost his left tackle (Anton Harrison) before facing one of the league's best pass rushes, led by NFL Defensive Player of the Year favorite Will Anderson Jr.

UAB failed to cover as a 15.5-point underdog in a 25-point loss at Memphis last week. The same struggles that plagued the Blazers for much of the season reared its ugly head again. UAB managed just 13 points and none in the second half after entering the week with fewer than 23% of its possessions resulting in touchdowns (109th). And after allowing the 17th-most sacks in the country through five games (13), UAB allowed another three more and seven tackles for loss.

The Boilermakers just ran for 300-plus yards for the ninth time in a Big Ten game since 1995. And while the Huskies were just exposed for 41 points from Iowa playing with a backup quarterback, just two weeks ago Washington’s defense turned in a stellar performance. The Huskies limited a high-powered USC offense to just one explosive drive in 11 possessions, while the Trojans converted just 35.7% of their third down opportunities and finished with fewer yards per play.

Freddie Freeman has hit 18 career postseason home runs, which is tied with seven others for 10th most in MLB history (t-6th among active players). He has hit nine such home runs in just his time with the Dodgers, which is tied for sixth most in franchise history.

We’re getting great value on this prop with Turang facing a southpaw in Blake Snell. Before September, Turang made 167 plate appearances against left-handed pitchers and slashed .189/.273/.257 with one home run. Since September entering this series, Turang slashed .297/.422/.568 with four home runs in 47 plate appearances in that split.

I’m hesitant to lay the steep moneyline odds with the Dodgers for the full game considering the strength of Milwaukee’s bullpen. In Game 2 alone, Brewers relievers threw five perfect innings, the most perfect innings by a team’s bullpen in postseason history.

Strome is one of my go-to player props for assists, as he is one of the most consistent and reliable setup men. He has five helpers in six games, notching at least one on four occasions. 


His ice time has also increased over the last two games, returning to the 18 or 19 minutes he’s used to. Strome tallied an assist in two of three home games this season. He usually feasts against the Montreal Canadiens, with nine assists in the previous six meetings.

Necas has four goals in six games and scored two against the Dallas Stars last night. While four goals is an impressive haul, Necas has scored in only two games. 


However, the 27-year-old saves his best for the Stars. He’s scored six goals in the previous seven meetings against Dallas, including five in the last five. And the triumvirate of Necas, MacKinnon, and Artturi Lehkonen had a ridiculous 79.1% expected goals share in Tuesday’s 3-2 victory.

MacKinnon has at least two assists in three of five games and leads the team with seven helpers. He’s also clutch against the Stars, tallying at least one assist in the previous five meetings. In that sample size, he has accumulated seven apples.

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.
