How to read a pick
The bold line is the bet in plain words. The ticket line under it is the number from the source, when the source had one.
- Spread
- The points a team gets or gives. "Eagles win by 4+" is the same idea as PHI -3.5: that team has to win by 4 or more. A plus number means the team can lose by fewer than that, or win.
- Moneyline
- Who wins the game. No point spread. The price, like BOS -155, only says how short or long that win was on the snapshot.
- Over/under
- The total. Add both sides together. Over 2.5 goals means 3 or more. Under 2.5 means 2 or fewer.
- Parlay
- Two or more bets tied together. Every part has to hit, or the whole ticket loses. This board does not build a parlay for you.
- Lean, Like, Love
- Lean is a small edge. Like is a clearer read. Love is the strongest call on the board. No pick means we are not calling a side.

MLB
No slate today.
NFL
8:15 PM ET Jacksonville Jaguars at Baltimore Ravens
BET: Fewer than 40 total points
TICKET: Under 39.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Baltimore lists kicker Tyler Loop on injured reserve and corner Nate Wiggins as questionable, and Open-Meteo shows about a 25% rain chance around kickoff with light wind at M&T Bank Stadium. A 39.5 total already prices a slow night, and those injury and weather notes keep the under in play.
DraftKings: JAX -10, total 39.5; JAX -550 / BAL +410. Consensus median JAX -10. 1 of 1 books match that number.
NBA
9:00 PM ET Orlando Magic at Phoenix Suns
BET: Magic lose by 1 or less, or win
TICKET: ORL +1.5
Spread: the points they have to cover.
CALL: Lean
Orlando is without Paolo Banchero, Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Isaac, and Phoenix is without Mark Williams, Jordan Goodwin and Rasheer Fleming. ESPN's matchup predictor is basically a coin flip at about 50.5% Orlando, so taking the points is the edge.
DraftKings: PHX -1.5, total 222.5; ORL -108 / PHX -110. Consensus median PHX -1.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
10:00 PM ET Miami Heat at Golden State Warriors
BET: Heat lose by 7 or less, or win
TICKET: MIA +7.5
Spread: the points they have to cover.
CALL: Like
Golden State is without Jimmy Butler III, Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody and Gui Santos, and ESPN's predictor only gives the Warriors about 55.6% to win. That does not line up with a 7.5-point home spread, so take Miami and the points.
DraftKings: GS -7.5, total 235.5; MIA +228 / GS -279. Consensus median GS -7.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
NHL
7:00 PM ET Utah Mammoth at Montreal Canadiens
BET: Utah wins the game
TICKET: Utah moneyline (UTAH -122)
Moneyline: they just have to win.
CALL: Lean
Montreal lists Nick Suzuki and Kirby Dach as day-to-day, Mike Matheson as out, and Sam Montembeault on injured reserve. Utah is the slight favorite on the road against a shorthanded Canadiens group.
DraftKings: UTAH -122, total 6.5; UTAH -122 / MTL +102. Consensus median UTAH -122. 1 of 1 books match that number.
7:00 PM ET Vegas Golden Knights at Detroit Red Wings
BET: Golden Knights win the game
TICKET: Vegas moneyline (VGK -148)
Moneyline: they just have to win.
CALL: Lean
Detroit has Dylan Larkin, Marco Kasper, Mason Appleton and Albert Johansson on injured reserve, with John Gibson day-to-day. Vegas is healthier and priced as a short road favorite.
DraftKings: VGK -148, total 5.5; VGK -148 / DET +124. Consensus median VGK -148. 1 of 1 books match that number.
7:00 PM ET Chicago Blackhawks at Tampa Bay Lightning
BET: 6 or fewer total goals
TICKET: Under 6.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Chicago is without Patrick Kane and has Bowen Byram on injured reserve, which cuts into its scoring. Tampa is a heavy favorite, so a one-sided, lower-event game fits the under better than chasing the big moneyline.
DraftKings: TB -425, total 6.5; CHI +330 / TB -425. Consensus median TB -425. 1 of 1 books match that number.
7:00 PM ET St. Louis Blues at New Jersey Devils
BET: Devils win the game
TICKET: New Jersey moneyline (NJ -205)
Moneyline: they just have to win.
CALL: Lean
The Blues have Torey Krug, Dillon Dube, Tyler Tucker and Logan Mailloux on injured reserve, with Colton Parayko day-to-day. New Jersey is healthier at home with the better record.
DraftKings: NJ -205, total 5.5; STL +170 / NJ -205. Consensus median NJ -205. 1 of 1 books match that number.
7:00 PM ET Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders
BET: Hurricanes win the game
TICKET: Carolina moneyline (CAR -175)
Moneyline: they just have to win.
CALL: Lean
The Islanders are missing Mathew Barzal, Alexander Romanov, Matias Maccelli and Calum Ritchie on injured reserve, plus Ryan Pulock listed out. Carolina is 12-3-2 and gets a clear edge against that injury list.
DraftKings: CAR -175, total 5.5; CAR -175 / NYI +145. Consensus median CAR -175. 1 of 1 books match that number.
7:00 PM ET Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers
BET: Flyers win the game
TICKET: Philadelphia moneyline (PHI +124)
Moneyline: they just have to win.
CALL: Lean
New York has Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve, so the Rangers are thin in net even as a home favorite. Plus money on Philadelphia is the value against that goalie situation.
DraftKings: NYR -148, total 5.5; PHI +124 / NYR -148. Consensus median NYR -148. 1 of 1 books match that number.
7:00 PM ET Boston Bruins at Pittsburgh Penguins
BET: Bruins win the game
TICKET: Boston moneyline (BOS -108)
Moneyline: they just have to win.
CALL: Lean
Boston is 11-4-1 while Pittsburgh is 5-8-2 and lists Evgeni Malkin as day-to-day with Bryan Rust on injured reserve. Near even money on the better record is the lean.
DraftKings: PIT -112, total 6.5; BOS -108 / PIT -112. Consensus median PIT -112. 1 of 1 books match that number.
7:00 PM ET Dallas Stars at Columbus Blue Jackets
BET: Blue Jackets win the game
TICKET: Columbus moneyline (CBJ +110)
Moneyline: they just have to win.
CALL: Lean
Dallas has Matt Duchene on injured reserve and Miro Heiskanen listed day-to-day. Columbus is a plus-money home underdog against a Stars team missing key pieces.
DraftKings: DAL -130, total 5.5; DAL -130 / CBJ +110. Consensus median DAL -130. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:00 PM ET Vancouver Canucks at Winnipeg Jets
BET: 6 or fewer total goals
TICKET: Under 6.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Vancouver is without Thatcher Demko and Filip Chytil on injured reserve, and Winnipeg is missing Josh Morrissey and Nick Bjugstad. Both clubs are beat up, which points to a quieter total than a track meet.
DraftKings: WPG -218, total 6.5; VAN +180 / WPG -218. Consensus median WPG -218. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:00 PM ET Anaheim Ducks at Edmonton Oilers
BET: 7 or more total goals
TICKET: Over 6.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Edmonton is 11-2-3 at home and still scores even with Zach Hyman on injured reserve, while Anaheim is without Troy Terry. A 6.5 total in Edmonton is the scoring spot on this card.
DraftKings: EDM -185, total 6.5; ANA +154 / EDM -185. Consensus median EDM -185. 1 of 1 books match that number.
9:30 PM ET Nashville Predators at Colorado Avalanche
BET: 6 or fewer total goals
TICKET: Under 6.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Nashville lists Jonathan Marchessault as day-to-day and Colorado has Josh Manson out. A 6.5 total with both sides missing pieces favors the under over laying the heavy Avalanche price.
DraftKings: COL -218, total 6.5; NSH +180 / COL -218. Consensus median COL -218. 1 of 1 books match that number.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
7:30 PM ET UTSA Roadrunners at Florida Atlantic Owls
BET: More than 72 total points
TICKET: Over 72.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
UTSA is 7-1 and ESPN's predictor gives the Roadrunners about 75%, while FAU is 5-3 in a game already priced at 72.5. Open-Meteo shows a dry evening in Boca Raton around 76 degrees with light wind, so weather should not kill scoring.
DraftKings: UTSA -6.5, total 72.5; UTSA -265 / FAU +215. Consensus median UTSA -6.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:00 PM ET James Madison Dukes at Southern Miss Golden Eagles
BET: 58 or fewer total points
TICKET: Under 58.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
ESPN's predictor gives James Madison about 86% in a game already sitting at a modest 58.5 total. Open-Meteo shows a clear, calm evening in Hattiesburg, and a heavy road favorite often sits on a lead instead of pushing the over.
DraftKings: JMU -13.5, total 58.5; JMU -575 / USM +425. Consensus median JMU -13.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
6:00 PM ET Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Vanderbilt Commodores
BET: Demon Deacons lose by 17 or less, or win
TICKET: WAKE +17.5
Spread: the points they have to cover.
CALL: Lean
Both teams are 1-0, and ESPN's predictor gives Vanderbilt about 90%. That win chance does not automatically clear 17.5 points in November, so take Wake Forest and the points.
DraftKings: VAN -17.5, total 155.5; WAKE +1300 / VAN -2800. Consensus median VAN -17.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:00 PM ET Jacksonville Dolphins at Florida Gators
BET: 156 or fewer total points
TICKET: Under 156.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Florida is a massive home favorite with ESPN's predictor near 99%, and early-season blowouts often stay slower than a 156.5 total once the bench empties. Moneyline is off, so the total is the clean ticket.
DraftKings: FLA -35.5, total 156.5; OFF. Consensus median FLA -35.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:00 PM ET Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at Duke Blue Devils
BET: 150 or fewer total points
TICKET: Under 150.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Duke is about a 99.5% favorite per ESPN with Coastal Carolina at 0-1, and the moneyline is off. A 40.5-point spread points to a managed home win more than a 150-point track meet.
DraftKings: DUKE -40.5, total 150.5; OFF. Consensus median DUKE -40.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:00 PM ET Toledo Rockets at Michigan State Spartans
BET: Rockets lose by 27 or less, or win
TICKET: TOL +27.5
Spread: the points they have to cover.
CALL: Lean
Michigan State is 1-0 and ESPN's predictor sits near 97%, but 27.5 is a huge early-season number. Taking Toledo and the points is safer than laying that many with thin November samples.
DraftKings: MSU -27.5, total 153.5; TOL +3500 / MSU -20000. Consensus median MSU -27.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:00 PM ET Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs at Texas Longhorns
BET: 155 or fewer total points
TICKET: Under 155.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Texas is a near-lock per ESPN's 99.6% predictor and the moneyline is off at 40.5 points. Big November mismatches often settle once the starters sit, which supports the under.
DraftKings: TEX -40.5, total 155.5; OFF. Consensus median TEX -40.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
8:30 PM ET Pennsylvania Quakers at Illinois Fighting Illini
BET: 172 or fewer total points
TICKET: Under 172.5
Total: both sides' scores added together.
CALL: Lean
Illinois is about a 98% favorite with the moneyline off, and 172.5 is a sky-high early-season total. Prefer the under rather than guessing how far a 30.5-point favorite rolls.
DraftKings: ILL -30.5, total 172.5; OFF. Consensus median ILL -30.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
9:00 PM ET Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at Texas Tech Red Raiders
BET: Wildcats lose by 29 or less, or win
TICKET: BCU +29.5
Spread: the points they have to cover.
CALL: Lean
Texas Tech is 1-0 and ESPN's predictor is near 99%, but Bethune-Cookman only needs to keep it inside three touchdowns. A 29.5 spread is a lot to lay in week one of real games.
DraftKings: TTU -29.5, total 149.5; BCU +2500 / TTU -9000. Consensus median TTU -29.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
10:30 PM ET Cal Poly Mustangs at Arizona Wildcats
BET: Mustangs lose by 30 or less, or win
TICKET: CP +30.5
Spread: the points they have to cover.
CALL: Lean
Arizona is 0-1 while Cal Poly is 1-0, yet DraftKings still has the Wildcats laying 30.5. ESPN's predictor is still one-sided, but the record gap makes the points the better side.
DraftKings: ARIZ -30.5, total 173.5; CP +5000 / ARIZ -100000. Consensus median ARIZ -30.5. 1 of 1 books match that number.
