After ranking 12th in Pass Block Win Rate, ninth in sack rate, and 17th in average time to sack last year, Detroit’s numbers have plummeted to 30th, 15th, and 32nd, respectively, this season.

Meanwhile, Dallas is riding high after winning consecutive games against both of last year’s Super Bowl participants. The Cowboys allowed a 65 Total QBR, 143.0 rush yards per game, and a 53% third down percentage through the first nine games. But over the last three, those numbers have improved to a 47 Total QBR, 69.7 rushing yards per game, and a 35% third down percentage allowed.

The math is simple here - two of the best offenses in football, playing in a dome, against middling scoring defenses. Look for Prescott and Goff to have a field day here, with little to no punting.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are sliding, having lost three of their previous four. While Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens endured a blip against Cincy, they've won five of their previous six games. And Jackson hasn't yet reached his pre-injury peak. That should be coming soon.

Is Baltimore fraudulent? Here's where we'll find out. The Steelers just got spanked by the Bills, and the Ravens lost by 18 to the lowly Bengals. Give me Lamar here.

James Madison became just the third team to go undefeated in the Sun Belt in the league’s championship game era. The only other teams in the country to go undefeated in conference play are No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana. 

The Dukes are outgaining opponents 469.6 to 263 during their 10-game winning streak. And James Madison knows how to step on an opponent’s throat after halftime. Outside of Marshall who ran for 141 yards second-half yards against James Madison, the Dukes have held their other seven Sun Belt opponents to 19 combined rushing yards after halftime.

Troy has struggled against quality G6 opponents, losing blowouts to both Memphis and Old Dominion. James Madison is the second-highest ranked G6 team by SP+ (No. 24), and the average margin of victory in Sun Belt play is 42.5 to 15.1.

Jacksonville State is No. 86 in EPA per dropback, and Kennesaw State should be able to lock in on stopping running back Cam Cook. Kennesaw State's offense is dynamic with Amari Odom at QB, and should expose a Gamecocks team that's No. 113 in defensive SP+.

Jacksonville State has the third-best rushing attack in the nation, and Kennesaw State is allowing 172.6 rushing yards per game. The first time these two teams met, Jacksonville State ran for 252 yards in a 35-26 win.

Bam Adebayo logo Bam Adebayo Record a Double-Double (Yes: -125)

Pick made: 7 hours ago

Adebayo will have very favorable conditions for a double-double Wednesday, and he checks into the matchup against a generous Mavs frontcourt having achieved the feat in four of the last five games, including three straight. Additionally, Dallas is allowing an NBA-high 63.0 rebounds per home game.

Davis was back to close to a normal workload in his second back from injury Monday against the Nuggets, logging 32 minutes and delivering a 32-point, 13-rebound double-double. The Heat also check in allowing an Eastern Conference-high 58.3 rebounds per game.

Timo Meier has been a godsend for the Devils in Jack Hughes' absence.

Meier has scored in five of his last six games and leads New Jersey in shots on goal. He also paces the Devils in expected goals with 13.2, nearly four more than the next-closest teammate, according to MoneyPuck.

Connor has scored in two straight and could be heating up. He has 13 goals, with three of his previous five scored on the road. Connor rolls into Montreal to play a Canadiens team that lost to Ottawa on Tuesday.

In two losses to Seton Hall and Texas in Maui, NC State allowed both opponents to shoot 64.7% or better from inside the arc, as rim protection is an issue for the undersized Wolfpack. Compounding the problem even more is that Texas also made half of its 32 3-point attempts, which led to the Longhorns averaging 1.42 points per possession.

The Over has cashed in all five games Auburn has been favored, including the four games at Neville Arena. That is why I am not concerned that this total has plummeted from an opening number of 167.5.

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.
