Free Sports Picks of the Day

[1%] Free Play on Tigers +116

1* Free Pick on Lions +5½

The strongest reason to play the UNDER remains the independent sharp projection. A respected handicapper released UNDER 53.5 with a projected total around 47, leaving approximately 4.5 points between his projection and our 51.5 entry.

The new tipsheet adds considerably more context to Pittsburgh's 12-7 win over UCF. The Panthers generated only 4.4 yards per play and went 5-for-18 on third down. Weather affected the game, but the lack of offensive production cannot simply be dismissed as weather-driven because neither team committed a turnover. Pittsburgh's defense held UCF to 206 yards, while the two teams combined for only 19 points.

That creates an interesting Pittsburgh profile. The Panthers scored 59 against Miami (Ohio) in the opener, then only 12 against UCF. The tipsheet's statistical table shows Pittsburgh averaging 35.5 points through two games, but that number is heavily distorted by the opener. Syracuse has the same problem in reverse: its 42-point average includes a 66-3 destruction of New Hampshire before the Orange managed only 18 against California.

In other words, the raw scoring averages imply considerably more offense than either team's most relevant FBS performance.

Syracuse's 21-18 loss to Cal is particularly interesting for an UNDER handicap. The Orange actually outgained Cal by nearly 200 yards, yet scored only 18 points because Steve Angeli threw three interceptions and Syracuse committed 15 penalties for 132 yards. Angeli still threw for more than 300 yards and had three receivers surpass 70 receiving yards.

That's both support and risk.

The support is that Syracuse demonstrated an ability to move the football without translating that production efficiently into points. Penalties, turnovers and stalled possessions are exactly how a team can accumulate yardage without producing an OVER.

The risk is that the Orange passing game is considerably more dangerous than the 18-point final suggests. We should not handicap Syracuse as a weak offense simply because it scored 18 last week.

There is also a useful series component. Six of the last seven Syracuse-Pittsburgh meetings have gone UNDER, including Pittsburgh's 30-13 victory last season. I would treat that only as secondary evidence because personnel and coaching environments change, but it aligns with the stronger current-game evidence.

The most likely UNDER script is Pittsburgh controlling the game without playing particularly fast, Syracuse producing some yardage but failing to convert every drive, and Pitt's defense forcing the Orange to string together long possessions rather than surrendering explosive scores.

The primary danger is Syracuse's passing game generating explosive plays or short fields being created by turnovers. Angeli's three interceptions against Cal are a double-edged sword: interceptions kill Syracuse possessions, but turnovers in Syracuse territory could hand Pittsburgh easy points.

The 47 sharp projection versus 51.5 remains the centerpiece. Pittsburgh's offensive performance against UCF, Syracuse's inefficient conversion of substantial yardage against Cal, and the historical series profile all corroborate it.

SYRACUSE–PITTSBURGH UNDER 51.5

Play to 50.5.

Thursday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: White Sox -127

1* Free Pick on Lions/Bills: under 55

A total of 55 sits at the extreme top of the NFL board, and it got there off a one-game sample from each team.

The case against the under is obvious.

Buffalo put up 36 on Houston Sunday, Detroit hung 31 on New Orleans in overtime, and Josh Allen accounted for 4 total touchdowns.

I'm not arguing with any of that.

I'm arguing with the price.

Both teams have played exactly 1 game this season, and the books priced this like both offenses repeat that output on 3 days of rest.

That's recency bias, not handicapping.

Thursday games are a different animal.

No real practice week, no full install, tired legs on both sides.

Offenses feel it more than defenses.

Detroit's protection is the bigger issue.

Guard Christian Mahogany left Week 1 with a knee injury and Dan Campbell admitted he isn't out of the woods.

Tackle Blake Miller and guard Juice Scruggs are also questionable.

Jared Goff behind a patched line, on the road, against Bills edge Greg Rousseau, who sacked C.J.

Stroud twice Sunday.

That's stalled drives and field goals.

Detroit's own plan slows this down too.

Jahmyr Gibbs handled 29 of the team's 31 backfield carries in Week 1.

That's a run-heavy identity that bleeds clock and caps possessions.

And the pass rush cuts both ways: Lions end Aidan Hutchinson posted 2 sacks of his own Sunday.

A 55 needs roughly 8 touchdowns of scoring on a short week with banged-up lines.

I'll take the number the market overreacted to.

I like the Under

Thursday night 2X System NFL Headlines with a Lead 20-1 Prime Time System. Football 10-3 overall run. WNBA Comp play below

The WNBA Comp play is on Dallas at 8 eastern. The Wings have won both games in the series with the LA Sparks and From the database we see that home favorites of 3 or more with 10+ days rest that won the last game in the series have covered 7 of 8 times. With just over a week left in the season some teams are just playing out the string at this point. Look for Dallas to get the cover here.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take San Jose +0.5 GL over LAFC (7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday September 19) San Jose hadn’t won a match since the World Cup up until recently but lo and behold they have now won two straight and look like a completely different side. They manhandled a good San Diego side on the road in a 3-2 win that was more dominant than the final score might indicate. And last week they gutted out a 1-0 win here at home vs. a Houston side that is one of the top teams in the Western Conference. We were on San Jose in that one and mentioned in our writeup that one of the main problems with the Earthquakes since the World Cup break is that they were lacking confidence and now they seem to have it back in spades and their play has been exceptionally strong. They are now unbeaten in four straight matches, and they are back in a Top 4 spot in the West with a chance to move higher with three points here. We only need a draw however, to cash this ticket, and we think they can do enough to get at least a point. LAFC is coming off a 3-1 road loss at Kansas City, one of MLS’s worst sides. LAFC are behind the Earthquakes in the standings despite all the struggles San Jose has faced since the World Cup break. They have only one win in their last eight MLS matches, and this side is just not playing championship-caliber futbol right now. San Jose always raises their level of play when LAFC comes to town and have won five of the last six meetings here.

Fifty and a half in Arlington is the number I want you holding. Not because both defenses are fake. Because 50.5 is the number the market hung on a series that just lived 53, 66, 60, 48 and 55.

You are not fading defense. You are fading a 50.5 that is priced like this rivalry forgot how it scores. Cowboys lead it 81-49-2. That is the side of the ledger. The total is the other page. Last six meetings: 30-23, 44-22, 23-19, 34-26, 38-10, 45-10. Combined 53, 66, 42, 60, 48, 55. Five of six cashed a 50. Last two in this building: 44-22 and 23-19. One smash, one under on a 43.5. Public money will hammer the under because Week 1 was 24-22 and 28-20 and “NFC East always stalls in September.” That is how 50.5 gets to the window looking fat instead of the number that does not match Christmas, October, Thanksgiving, and January in this series.

Do not buy this down to 49.5 and pay extra juice to sleep better. The 50.5 is the reason I am writing it. Sit on your hands. Let the first quarter look like October in Dallas. If it is 14-10 at the half, the over is already doing its job.

Sunday 4:25. Dallas -4.5. Washington 0-1 after 24-22 in Philadelphia. Dallas 0-1 after 28-20 to the Giants. Combined 46 and 48 last week. That is not this series. This series in the last two years has been 66 and 53 and 60. Cowboys 3,150 points all-time in the rivalry, Washington 2,582. The building does not keep these games in the 30s unless somebody forgets to throw it.

Bet the over 50.5 in Commanders–Cowboys games.
Last 6 meetings: 53, 66, 42, 60, 48, 55. Five of six cashed 50. Average 54.0. (+3.6 units, ROI=54.5%)

Bet the over when these two meet in Dallas and the number is 50 or higher.
Last meeting here: 44-22. Posted 55.5 and still went over. (+1.0 units, ROI=90.9%)

Bet overs in this series when five of the last six already cleared 47.
38-10 was the “low” one and it still cashed 47. (+4.0 units, ROI=60.6%)

My selection is on the 'under' between Detroit and Buffalo at 8:15 pm et on Thursday.

Bettors are anticipating a shootout between the Lions and Bills at brand new Highmark Stadium in Buffalo on Thursday. I believe this total will prove too high. Detroit ended up involved in a high-scoring 31-30 overtime game against New Orleans on Sunday. It was a tale of two halves as the Lions defense completely shut down the Saints offense early before coming unglued late, ultimately coughing up a 21-0 lead. Meanwhile, the Bills absolutely eviscerated an elite Texans defense in a big road win in Houston. Buffalo's defense obviously has some work to do after that poor performance, however. It does catch a break here with the Lions offensive line dealing with a cluster of injuries and the team travelling on a short week. It's early in the season and I'm just not ready to go 'over' a total this lofty, even in a game that features such elite offensive talent. Take the under (8*).

3* on Lions

For one of my best free picks on Sunday I am looking at the Washington Commanders at the Philadelphia Eagles here on Sunday. I think we are getting a great value here getting more than a field goal with Washington. Over the years these teams no matter how good either one is play tight NFC East style games. I think Washington is under valued due to their poor season last year and the Eagles are over rated as usual and should see some decline this year. Look for a field goal win from the Eagles but it would shock me if we saw an upset here. 

Play on the Washington Commanders plus the points rotation #475
