The Rams' offense was a disaster last week, scoring just 16 points against one of the worst defenses in the league. Now, with injuries to Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, I don't expect a much better performance against a Raiders team that has lost just one game by more than three points this season.

The Rams will be without Davante Adams, and there's also a chance that Puka Nacua will sit after missing Friday's practice. The Rams' red-zone defense didn't let the Cardinals score a touchdown in five tries last week, and I expect the Raiders' 22nd-ranked red-zone offense to struggle this week.

Ashton Jeanty is worth targeting to score a touchdown Sunday against the Rams, especially given his involvement in both the rushing and passing games. Through six games, Jeanty has recorded 313 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 98 carries, along with 26 receptions for 251 yards and two receiving touchdowns.

His versatility gives Las Vegas multiple ways to get the ball into his hands near the goal line. The Rams have allowed 127 rushing yards per game, ranking 26th in the NFL, while surrendering four rushing touchdowns through six games. With Jeanty serving as a major part of the Raiders' offense, he has a legitimate opportunity to find the end zone at home this weekend.

Los Angeles’ offense has had a difficult time finding rhythm, in large part because of poor field position and turnovers. In terms of drive rates. Los Angeles ranks 29th in average drive starting position (28-yard line), 25th in score percentage (35%), and 21st in turnover rate (14%). The Rams defense and special teams also ranks 15th and last, respectively, in estimated points added.

Jordan Love’s improvement when facing pressure is something that shouldn’t go unnoticed. When Love faced pressure from Weeks 1-3, he completed 31% of his passes for 4.9 yards per attempt, and logged a 0-to-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio with a 1.7 QBR. But from Weeks 4-6, those numbers in that split improved to a 61% completion percentage, 9.1 yards per attempt, 1-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and 65.2 QBR. That completion percentage, yards per attempt, and QBR are all top three in the NFL over the last three weeks.

He hit pay dirt three times in as many road games and faces a Lions defense that has allowed the fourth-most passing TDs (14). The last three games at Ford Field between these NFC North rivals averaged 57 points, which should give Watson plenty of chances to celebrate his end zone dance.

And unless you’ve lived in a dank cave without internet access, you’ll know about the Lions’ secondary issues. Opponents have averaged 42.6 pass attempts against the Lions, the most of any team.

The Packers have won three straight by a combined 71-24. While two of those victories came against backup quarterbacks, the Packers’ offensive line has improved significantly from the start of the season. They face a well-rested Lions team in Detroit. However, I’m concerned about the Lions defense, which allows the third-most points per game (29.6). The Lions’ subpar 1-3-1 ATS record is mostly due to their porous secondary.

The Lakers were feeding Walker Kessler in their first two games, as both of their opponents struggled with size in the starting frontcourt. The Jazz are a different animal: Lauri Markkanen is just one inch shorter than the 7-foot-2 Kessler, and Jaren Jackson Jr. is among the best rim protectors in the NBA. Expect Doncic to attempt a lot more field goals with Kessler's role reduced today.

LeBron James, one of the two most popular NBA players of all time, and the 76ers are 2-0 against the spread - what could go wrong? Playing an underrated Pistons team is the answer. Detroit has quietly beaten both the Celtics and the Heat, who are projected to be top-six teams in the East, by eight or more points.

Among those with a minimum of 400 plate appearances this season, Bauers ranked in the top eight in ob-base percentage, wRC+, and walk percentage, and the top 25 in chase percentage, hard-hit rate, barrels, and pitches per plate appearance.

Peralta has pitched to an MLB-best 1.17 ERA since Aug. 26 (10 games/nine starts). But this is an inflated line since one of his starts this postseason was his longest playoff outing of his career (6 IP), and I don’t expect nearly the same length when facing a pesky Brewers lineup.

No disrespect to the Rays who tied the Brewers with an MLB-best 55-26 home record in the regular season. But I cannot pass up Milwaukee at plus-money odds after winning nine of 10 playoff games, with its 9-1 record tying for the best through the first 10 games of a single postseason in MLB history.

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.
