This week’s TNF matchup breaks the trend by being a game between two teams that people might actually enjoy watching. We’ve had some clunkers in this slot (who can forget the Panthers vs Bears matchup from Week 10?) but we have a chance of some decent entertainment this week if the Seattle Seahawks can just step up on their last couple of efforts when they face the Dallas Cowboys. Picking TD scorers has not been easy in recent primetime games, with only 1 scored in the Bears-Vikings game on Monday and 3 (scored by just 2 players) in the Ravens-Chargers game on Sunday Night Football in Week 12, but this game (like most Cowboys games) has the potential to make betting this market more pleasurable again. B e sure to also check out all of our NFL picks for this week’s game, but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for Thursday Night Football. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, SEA (+375, Bet365) The Seahawks look set to be without starting RB...

The 2023-24 UEFA Champions League group stage continues on Tuesday afternoon with another 8 soccer matches as we edge closer to the knockout stage. Manchester City look to make it 5 wins out of 5 but must beat an RB Leipzig team that is hot on their tails. Meanwhile, French giants PSG look to get revenge on Newcastle for their 4-1 defeat earlier in the tournament, while fellow Group F clubs AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund look to continue their fight to finish in the top two and advance to the Round of 16. With plenty of soccer ’s best teams in action on Tuesday afternoon, we’ve picked out our two favorite plays of the day which both kick off at 3:00 pm ET. You can also read our soccer predictions  for even more Champions League picks. Manchester City vs RB Leipzig best bet: Manchester City ML & Both Teams To Score (+147) Both of these teams have already qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League with Tuesday’s match representing a straight shootout for...

This week’s edition of Sunday Night Football takes us to Cincinnati for a battle between the Bills and Bengals. Can Joe Burrow stay hot and lead Cincy to another win? Or can Josh Allen finally take down Burrow and the Bengals? Here are our touchdown scorer best bets for the primetime matchup. Buffalo Bills touchdown scorer best bet: Dalton Kincaid (+210) In the red zone, Josh Allen likes to do two things: run it in himself or target a tight end. Allen has excellent wheels and a tight end’s body, which allows him to barrel through to the end zone, something he has done five times this season. However, when he doesn’t run it, he likes to target the big bodies in the end zone. Last season, Dawson Knox was the benefactor of that. This season, it’s been the rookie Dalton Kincaid. Buffalo’s tight end hauled in his first career touchdown pass last week against the Patriots, and it’s clear that he’s becoming a bigger part of the offense. In his last two games alone, Kincaid has 13 c...

Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another fantastic Friday of sports. The World Series starts tonight and we also have NBA, NHL, college football and soccer to enjoy, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better. About Last Night NFL Week 8 began with the Bills moving to 5-3 thanks to a 24-18 win over the Buccaneers, although a late Mike Evans TD gave Tampa Bay the back-door cover. The Bills are +1400 odds for the Super Bowl at DraftKings Sportsbook. Evans at +200 was one of our TD scorer picks for the game, building on last week’s amazing 8-3 run. Damian Lillard scored 39 points in his Bucks debut to give Milwaukee a 118-117 win over the Sixers in their first game, while the Lakers got to 1-1 with a 100-95 success against the Suns. We cashed our only Best Bet of Lightning -1.5 on Thursday’s NHL slate as Tampa Bay smashed the Sharks 6-0. The Avalanche and Bruins both saw their unbeaten starts ended in losses to the Ducks and Penguins respecti...

This is a matchup that appears to be extremely lopsided on paper, but these primetime Game s on Sunday night rarely go quite as planned. In this case, the New York Giants are off to a 1-4 start and look absolutely dreadful. New York will make the short trip to take on the defending AFC East champion Buffalo Bills, who are coming off a loss in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The handicap on this Game seems to be a good buy-low spot on Giants, but that’s not what I’ll be focusing on in this piece. B e sure to also check out our NFL Week 6 predictions, but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for the Giants vs Bills game, where I’m targeting a pair of Bills wide receivers. Stefon Diggs, WR, BUF (-120 at FanDuel) While this isn’t a very original pick, it’s hard to go against Diggs in a matchup where he should absolutely feast against a weak Giants secondary. Diggs has been as good as any wideout in Football th...

The AFC South is not the most glamorous division by any stretch of the imagination. Two of the worst teams in Football will be hovering near the basement all season , with the Texans and Colts expected to challenge for the league’s worst record. Then you have the Titans, who are an interesting team caught in the middle between contender and obvious non-playoff team. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the clear class of this division on paper, but have their odds to win the AFC South got a little out of hand?  With the 2023 NFL campaign on the horizon, it’s time to break down the AFC East.

I’m still not convinced that San Diego has a competitive lineup after their shutout loss to the Blue Jays on Thursday which featured them recording just 6 hit...

The 77th annual NBA draft takes place on June 22 in the Barclays Center on Thursday night. A once-in-a-generation talent, Victor Wembanyama, is locked in to go first. As someone who considers Sports betting a part-time profession, I despise the word “lock”, but Wembanyama at #1 is as close as that term gets. There is a steep drop in confidence outside of the top 3, with Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller jockeying for 2nd and 3rd spots. The rest of the draft has a lot of uncertainty. Teams will be forced to make decisions in the lottery based on upside potential, high floors and “specialists”. I’ve come up with my NBA Draft best bets for Thursday night. For me, I’ve outlined a few bets to make as of Monday, June 19, that I feel confident about given what I’ve read and certain amount of personal scouting. I try to avoid anything heavily juiced as drafts have a ripple effect that can skew all of the proceeding picks. Oh, and trades! Which we are expecting to see a lot of this ye...

A week ago, the Boston Celtics avoided a 4-game sweep in the Eastern Conference Finals with a dominant Game 4 victory. Little did most of us know that the Celtics would win the next 2 games — including a buzzer-beating putback to win Game 6 — to force a winner-take-all Game 7 in Boston on Sunday. Can the Celtics complete the first ever 3-0 comeback in NBA history, or will the Heat pull the upset on the road to advance to the NBA Finals?
