The key to Indianapolis' success this season has been its balanced attack. Both of Indy's losses occurred when Jonathan Taylor hit the under on this total, which he has done in four of nine games. The Colts will know the importance of not only getting Taylor the rock but also seeing their star running back have a productive day.

Passing Yards
Daniel Jones logo Daniel Jones u243.5 Passing Yards (-112)
Best Odds
Pick made: 15 hours ago

Atlanta ranks 1st in the NFL in pass defense, allowing just 158.1 passing yards per game. The Falcons have held all but two opposing QBs below 200 passing yards this year.

McCarthy has yet to throw for more than 158 yards in an NFL game. Though the Ravens are allowing 250.1 passing yards per game, they're only allowing 10.5 yards per completion, and the Vikings rank 25th in pass attempts this season.

NCAAF Picks

Spread
Wake Forest Demon Deacons logo WAKE +7.5 (-133)

Wake Forest is a live underdog who snapped SMU’s 20-game regular season conference winning streak, while dealing the Mustangs their first regular season loss since joining the ACC. The Demon Deacons also held SMU to 246 total yards, its fewest in a game under head coach Rhett Lashlee. 

 

Navy Midshipmen logo NAVY @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish logo ND Nov 08 | 7:30 PM ET
Rushing Yards
Blake Horvath logo Blake Horvath o82.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

Notre Dame’s per-game stats obfuscate shaky per-play stats that point to value since Navy’s option offense keeps the ball on the ground. Notre Dame is around the FBS average in line yards allowed per rush (2.8) and is below the league average in defensive stuff rate (18.8%). While the Irish excel in the second level and open field, Blake Horvath should get consistent gains that will add up behind the nation's best offensive line by line yards per rush (3.8).

Spread
Navy Midshipmen logo NAVY +27.5 (-110)
Best Odds

Notre Dame isn’t running away with things like it has recently. Last year, Notre Dame won five games by 28 points or more. That number was six the year before. This year, Notre Dame has just two such wins with four games to go. The Irish are just 3-5 against the spread on the year, winning by an average margin of 17.6. With rain in the forecast and Navy's option offense excelling at working the clock (and generating line yards), back the Midshipmen to cover.

NBA Picks

Los Angeles Lakers logo LAL @ Atlanta Hawks logo ATL Nov 08 | 8:00 PM ET
Record a Double-Double
Deandre Ayton logo Deandre Ayton Record a Double-Double (Yes: +120)
Best Odds
Pick made: 6 hours ago

Ayton has recorded two straight double-doubles and four overall this season, along with a career-best 65.7% shooting percentage. Additionally, the Hawks rank in the bottom 10, allowing 56.3 rebounds per game.

Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists
Jalen Johnson logo Jalen Johnson u34.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-108)
Best Odds
Pick made: 6 hours ago

Johnson has certainly proven capable of cashing this prop, but he's on the back end of a back-to-back set Saturday and Atlanta is an underdog with a sub-114-point total. Additionally, the Lakers rank in the top half of the league in both rebound- and assist-prevention metrics.

Phoenix Suns logo PHO @ LA Clippers logo LAC Nov 08 | 10:30 PM ET
Points Scored
Jalen Green logo Jalen Green o17.5 Points Scored (-105)
Best Odds
Pick made: 5 hours ago

Green went off for 29 points in 23 minutes during his season debut Thursday against these same Clippers, and Los Angeles' surprisingly poor perimeter defense combined with the ongoing absence of Kawhi Leonard (ankle) could lead to another productive night for the offseason addition.

3-Pointers Made
Devin Booker logo Devin Booker o2.5 3-Pointers Made (+120)
Best Odds
Pick made: 5 hours ago

Booker is sporting heavy usage rates nightly thanks to his status as the last superstar remaining in Phoenix, and he's drained at least a trio of threes in four of his first nine games. The Clippers are also surrendering a Western Conference-high 39.9% success rate from 3-point range at home.

NHL Picks

New York Islanders logo NYI @ New York Rangers logo NYR Nov 08 | 7:00 PM ET
Score a Goal
Will Cuylle logo Will Cuylle Score a Goal (Yes: +280)
Best Odds

William Cuylle isn't a household name, but he's been taking advantage of his opportunities on New York's primary powerplay unit and second line. The 23-year-old forward has notched two of his three goals in New York's past three matchups. Now, he'll face a porous Islanders defense and a struggling Ilya Sorokin on home ice. 

Assists
Adam Fox logo Adam Fox o0.5 Assists (-105)
Best Odds

New York's top defenseman, Adam Fox, draws a prime matchup against Ilya Sorokin tonight. The Islanders' goaltender has a 3.33 GAA, allowing three or more goals in eight of nine starts this season. Fox skates on the Rangers' top powerplay unit and first defensive pairing, logging 24:04 ATOI. 

Boston Bruins logo BOS @ Toronto Maple Leafs logo TOR Nov 08 | 7:00 PM ET
Score a Goal
John Tavares logo John Tavares Score a Goal (Yes: +190)
Best Odds
Pick made: 5 hours ago

John Tavares has logged seven goals for Toronto through 14 games. The 35-year-old forward remains an integral piece of Toronto's offense, scoring twice in the last four games. Jeremy Swayman is a volatile goaltender, so Tavares will have prime scoring chances on the road tonight. 

Points
Pavel Zacha logo Pavel Zacha o0.5 Points (-115)
Best Odds
Pick made: 6 hours ago
Matt MacKay image

Pavel Zacha carries a five-game point streak into tonight's road game in Toronto. Anthony Stolarz has been vulnerable in the crease for Toronto, allowing three or more goals in four of his previous five starts. Zacha centers the Bruins' top powerplay unit, so let's back one of Boston's top point leaders in a favorable matchup. 

CFL Picks

British Columbia Lions logo BC @ Saskatchewan Roughriders logo SSK Nov 08 | 6:30 PM ET
Spread
Saskatchewan Roughriders logo SSK -3.0 (-110)

Lions QB Nathan Rourke completed 16 of 22 passes in the West semifinal but threw for just 223 yards with zero touchdowns - a sign that he’s likely coming back down to earth.

Fresno State looks to have solved its main defensive issues from last year, and will still be a solid half-court defense in terms of defending pick-and-roll (allowing a 16th percentile pick-and-roll rate last year). 

 

Arkansas Razorbacks logo ARK @ Michigan State Spartans logo MSU Nov 08 | 7:00 PM ET
Points
D.J. Wagner logo D.J. Wagner o9.5 Points (-130)
Best Odds

Wagner did not contribute much scoring (eight points) in the season opener, but he had 13-plus points in two of the team’s three NCAA Tournament games last year, while averaging nearly five assists per game.  

 

Spread
Arkansas Razorbacks logo ARK +1.5 (-105)
Best Odds

Michigan State returned four rotation players from a team that won 30 games and a regular-season conference title a year ago. But none of those players averaged more than 8.1 points per game, so I am giving the talent edge early on to Arkansas.

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.
