The Nats come into this game razor sharp, winners of six straight but have had an extended rest period after wrapping up their series with Cards back on the 15th. Houston needed six games to get past the Yankees and will have had only a couple of rest days before Tuesday night’s Game. Dan digs into the angles and trends and gives out his suggested wager.
Dan Jamison
Houston Astros at NY Yankees Game 5 Analysis & Pick
This looks like a no-brainer with Justin Verlander going for the Astros and a struggling James Paxton getting the ball for the Yanks. Keep in mind though that Verlander got tagged for four runs in 3 2/3 innings against the Rays in the ALDS on the short rest and will be in the same situation tonight. Get Dan’s thoughts and suggested bet.
CFB Week 8: Tennessee at Alabama Pick
College football lines of -32 or more are generally a 30% proposition to cover the spread. While you’ll get smoked long term siding with the short end of that stick, teams do indeed over as big favs 3/10 times. The Vols are SO bad, we’re going to spit in the face of the gambling gods and predict that Bama covers this before the fourth quarter even starts!
Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees Pick 10/16/19
This game might be the hardest to predict in the series because nobody knows if there’s going to be a game at all. Massive storms remain in the forecast for New York on Wednesday, and the rain isn’t supposed to let up until around 2 a.m. on Thursday.
Ohio State Buckeyes at Northwestern Wildcats Pick 10/18/19
The general betting public is biting hard on the undefeated OSU Buckeyes as massive 28 point road favorites. At 5-0 against the spread and being the featured game on a Friday night, would it be prudent for bookies to allow bettors to crush them with a mega-public play? No! The fact is, Northwestern doesn’t get blown out often and will be super motivated to give Ohio State all they can handle. The pick here is NW or pass. Get Dan’s full take here!

South Alabama Jaguars at Troy Trojans Pick 10/16/19

Florida Gators at LSU Tigers Pick 10/12/19
