College Football Bowl Games best bets, odds and game picks including Arizona vs Oklahoma for Thursday, 12/28

After a long and grueling regular season, the college Football postseason is finally here. I’ve gone 5-1 in these bowl season columns so far — bringing me to 30-20 (60%) since Week 2. I’ve said all season that some regression was to be expected after we cashed at an unsustainable 63% rate a year ago, but we’re off to a great start in bowl season, so let’s keep that momentum going! With the holiday season behind us, the third full week of Bowl season is here and we have a compelling slate ahead of us, including a ton of fun games at the Group of 5 and Power 5 level. With Thursday’s games rapidly approaching, here is a look at my best bet for the trio of games at our disposal. And remember, you can check out all of our NCAAF predictions for picks on all of the action. Arizona Wildcats -2.5 over Oklahoma Sooners (-110) Odds available at FanDuel Sports book at time of publishing. Playable to Arizona -3. The Valero Alamo Bowl should be one of the mo...

NFL odds, NCAAF picks and MLB predictions for September 8

Good morning, Pickswise Nation! NFL Week 1 kicked off with a great game between the Lions and Chiefs last night, and today we have MLB, college football and tennis action to enjoy, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better. About Last Night Lions upend the defending champs The first game of the NFL season was a wild one, as the new-look Detroit Lions knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium by a score of 21-20. Our NFL props expert Prop Holiday went 2-0 with his NFL prop picks , cashing both of his plays with ease. The Lions will host the Seahawks next, while Kansas City — which was missing tight end Travis Kelce and paid the price for drops by receivers — heads to Jacksonville. FanDuel Sportsbook eased the Chiefs’ Super Bowl odds from +600 to +700 after the home loss, while DraftKings Sportsbook moved the Lions from +2200 to +1700. US Open women’s final is set It appeared as if we were going to get an All-American showdown in...

John Deere Classic picks, golf odds and best bets | Pickswise

Sunday saw us with another win on the PGA Tour! The Rocket Mortgage Classic is fast becoming my favorite tournament on the schedule, after I picked the winner in ’22 and now in ’23. Rickie Fowler got the job done and won for the first time since the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open.   We had been looking forward to a Fowler victory, which seemed imminent after a period of excellent play and increased confidence. At 14/1, it was a great win and a rather good Sunday all around. With 2 weeks in the U.K. beginning next week with the Scottish Open followed by the Open Championship, the field this week is weaker than we have seen of late. Therefore this is a big opportunity week for guys who have been playing well to take it 1 step further and secure victory, and all the privileges that go with a win. In the last 4 weeks I have picked 2 winners and a runner-up. Plus, last year I nabbed J.T. Poston to win the John Deere Classic at 55/1 and he went wire-to-wire. Therefore, I’m really look...
