Yes, Fields put up the most passing yards we've seen from him last week against the Cowboys with 283. But this Broncos defense is a whole different animal. This game will get ugly for the Jets in London, and fast.

Taylor hasn't scored this season, but he's caught 18 passes for 150 yards over the last three weeks. Despite allowing only six offensive touchdowns, the Broncos have allowed two receiving touchdowns to tight ends.

After being under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, Harrison has turned 15 targets across the last two weeks into 164 yards and a touchdown. You're telling me his number is now just 53.5 yards while returning to the place he grew up watching his dad ball out?

Harrison is in the second tier of elite receivers when it comes to red-zone target shares, with just four to his name this season. However, that is the same amount of looks as Puka Nacua, Justin Jefferson, and Ja'Marr Chase. With a 75% catch rate inside the 20 and coming off a touchdown in Week 5, expect Harrison to hit pay dirt for the second consecutive game.

If Florida gets similar pressure on Reed this week, the dual threat quarterback is likely to use his legs more, and is a prime candidate to score his third rushing touchdown. As it stands, Reed is the only Aggies player aside from running back Le’Veon Moss with multiple rushing touchdowns this season.

Texas A&M showed its versatility last week, pulling away for a comfortable 22-point victory and cover as a 17.5-point favorite, despite Reed going just 2-for-8 for 20 yards in the first quarter (his lowest yardage total in any quarter this season).

Michigan Wolverines logo MICH @ USC Trojans logo USC Oct 11 | 7:30 PM ET

DM Donaven McCulley Score a Touchdown (Yes: +300)

Michigan only has three passing touchdowns this season, but McCulley is the recipient of one of them. USC allows 2.2 passing touchdowns per game, and McCulley is the focal point of the Michigan passing attack, with more receptions and receiving yards than any other player.

McRee is USC's third-leading receiver, but he has just one touchdown this season. However, he has a solid matchup today, as three of the six touchdown passes Michigan has allowed have been to tight ends.

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.

Golden State Warriors logo GS @ Los Angeles Lakers logo LAL Oct 21 | 10:00 PM ET

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 Cubs' talent has started to take over in this series. Coming off a 6-0 lead, I don't think the bats are going to stop anytime soon. Take the Cubbies with plus-money action tonight.

Anthony Mantha's arrival in Pittsburgh has already been productive, with the 12-year veteran notching an assist in back-to-back games. Skates on the second line alongside Evgeni Malkin and Justin Brazeau, in addition to the Penguins' second power play unit.

New York's star forward, Artemi Panarin, has been off to a slow start through two games. Panarin has only logged one total point via assist and finished with two shots on goal in both matchups, including the opener against Pittsburgh. Grab the value on Panarin to finish with under 2.5 shots on goal.

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.
