1* Free Pick on Texans/Lions: over 34

All plays are made using sophisticated machine learning models.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #118 New Orleans Saints over Denver Broncos (1p.m., Saturday, August 23 NFL+) The Saints are vying for one of the worst teams in the league and possibly get the No. 1 draft pick come April of 2026. They got pounded in Week 1 of the exhibition season against Los Angeles but rallied late to tie Jacksonville at Week 2 at the Superdome. Now they get to face former coach Sean Peyton and expect them be able to take this one down to the wire. The Saints have a ton of competition for starting spots and thus with two weeks off they will be more determined to win this game. Getting this many points is just icing on the cake.

1* Free Sharp Play on Vancouver Whitecaps -200

1* FREE INFO PLAY Iowa State vs Kansas State under 51½ -105

Saturday MLB Free play. My selection is on Miami over Toronto at 4:10 pm et on Saturday.

The Blue Jays took the opener of this series last night but I look for the Marlins to rebound on Saturday. Miami will give the start to Janson Junk. While he's been a little bit up-and-down lately, he does come off a solid seven-inning outing in Boston that saw him allow just three earned runs. Miami has won four of his last five starts overall. Jose Berrios counters for Toronto. The Marlins have been slumping offensively but draw a good matchup here with Berrios having allowed six earned runs on 10 hits over just 4 1/3 innings of work last time out. Save for a start against the Cubs earlier this month, Berrios has really struggled since the middle of July, yielding three earned runs or more in four of his last seven outings. With the Marlins bullpen in better form than the Jays', look for them to stage the minor 'upset' on Saturday. Take Miami.

MLB FREE PICK

The under is 16-9 in Garrett Crochet's starts and he limited the Yankees to one run over 8 1/3 innings of a 2-1 Boston win back in June. The Yankees have scored only three runs over the first two games of the series, and the Red Sox only seven. This has all the signs of a low-scoring affair. 

3% FREE PICK ON THE UNDER. 

Mike is coming off a 4-0 SWEEP (3-0 premium picks + a free pick winner) and he has a massive card going Saturday, covering early soccer, followed by CFB, MLB and NFL. He's 6-2 (75%) with his preseason NFL and one of the sharpest MLB cappers for the year. Get in and ... WIN!

Ricky's 1* play on BOS.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Boston is 7-0 SU in its last 7 games against NY Yankees.

- Boston is 14-6 SU in its last 20 games against an opponent in the American League.

- Boston is 12-4 SU in its last 16 games against an opponent in the American League East Division.

Verdict: The value is on the Road favorite.

JOE D is at or near the top of every sport leaderboard. As of posting this play on Friday morning: (7-1 NFLX RUN 10-2 OVERALL RUN) 10* 5-0 NFLX TD PLAY for Sat (more to come for Saturday sports).

Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Denver Broncos.

Game 117.

10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST.

My friends, sportsbetting is all about the value the line gives you, and I will tell you, if the line in this contest between the Broncos and the Saints were under 3.0-points (3.5 as of post), I would've definitely made it a premium play. It was announced Spencer Rattler (check status) would be starting for the New Orleans Saints. What does it really matter? This is a team expected to finish last in the NFC South, and win just 5.0-games. This team is horrible. I think their quarterback situation is mediocre at best. While they do have a good running back, most of the backups are untested. I did say most, not all. Having said that, this is a team that really doesn't put forth too much of an effort in preseason play. The last four preseasons, they have more losses than wins. This preseason they have yet to win a game, losing their opener to the Chargers 27-13, and tying the Jaguars last week, 17-17. They don't have too many stars, and I doubt very much the head coach will jeopardize any of them for too long here, if at all. On the other hand, the Broncos are in a very competitive division in the AFC West. They are expected to win 9.5-games. I believe that might be a stretch. But they are still predicted to win almost double-digit games. This is a team that last preseason went 3-0, both straight up, and against the spread. This preseason they are already 2-0, winning and covering games against the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals. As a matter of fact, they have scored opponents by a combined 57-16 this August. My point is, they try in preseason, folks. They have some recognizable names in backup positions, both a quarterback and running back. They have depth, my friends. As I mentioned at the beginning of this analysis, I feel if this line would've been under a field goal I would've taken the Broncos as a premium play. But I still lean on them to win and cover here. Take Denver. Thank you.

T.M. Selection: Cubs.

The Cubs won the opener here 3-2 last night and I like them to find a way to get the job done here on Saturday as well in what turns out to be another favorable starting pitching matchup for the visitors. Chicago hands the ball to the consistent Cade Horton (7-4, 3.08 ERA), while the home side counters with the volatile Victor Mederos (0-1, 5.54 ERA), who has been forced into a starters role out of necessity. At this price and considering the circumstances, I definitely feel that Chicago is worthy of a "second look" in this one!

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Chicago.

Recommended Bet: Philadelphia -119
