1* Bet on Mystics -1½

*2 Star Play Under* The Washington Mystics have a lot to play for, and they are the team who I expect to dictate the tempo and the way this game is played. Chicago is packing it in for the season and they will be short handed here. Washington is one of the best defenses in the WNBA. The Mystics slow the game down here and it stays lower scoring. Take the under.

Ricky's 1* play on CHW.

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.

- The White Sox are 7-3 in the last 10 head to head meetings.

- Erick Fedde is 5-0 in his last 5 starts for the White Sox.

- The White Sox are 3-0 in the last 3 head to head meetings at home.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

1* Free Play on Mystics/Sky under 165½ -110

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Twins/Angels.

Can the Twins make a realistic run at the final Wild Card spot with ten games remaining? They're six games behind and four other teams are ahead of them, but a four-game series vs. the Angels could be exactly what the doctor ordered to help catapult them to the postseason.

Walbert Urena is 9-10 with a 2.88 ERA for the Angels, though, as he and the Angels will look to play spoiler this week.

Urena will be opposed by Taj Bradley, who is 11-6 with a 3.81 ERA this season.

I expect a bit of a "duel" here in the opener between these two "in form" starters; consider the UNDER.

Good luck, NP

1* Free Pick on Lions/Bills: under 55

A total of 55 sits at the extreme top of the NFL board, and it got there off a one-game sample from each team.

The case against the under is obvious.

Buffalo put up 36 on Houston Sunday, Detroit hung 31 on New Orleans in overtime, and Josh Allen accounted for 4 total touchdowns.

I'm not arguing with any of that.

I'm arguing with the price.

Both teams have played exactly 1 game this season, and the books priced this like both offenses repeat that output on 3 days of rest.

That's recency bias, not handicapping.

Thursday games are a different animal.

No real practice week, no full install, tired legs on both sides.

Offenses feel it more than defenses.

Detroit's protection is the bigger issue.

Guard Christian Mahogany left Week 1 with a knee injury and Dan Campbell admitted he isn't out of the woods.

Tackle Blake Miller and guard Juice Scruggs are also questionable.

Jared Goff behind a patched line, on the road, against Bills edge Greg Rousseau, who sacked C.J.

Stroud twice Sunday.

That's stalled drives and field goals.

Detroit's own plan slows this down too.

Jahmyr Gibbs handled 29 of the team's 31 backfield carries in Week 1.

That's a run-heavy identity that bleeds clock and caps possessions.

And the pass rush cuts both ways: Lions end Aidan Hutchinson posted 2 sacks of his own Sunday.

A 55 needs roughly 8 touchdowns of scoring on a short week with banged-up lines.

I'll take the number the market overreacted to.

I like the Under

The WNBA Comp play is on Dallas at 8 eastern. The Wings have won both games in the series with the LA Sparks and From the database we see that home favorites of 3 or more with 10+ days rest that won the last game in the series have covered 7 of 8 times. With just over a week left in the season some teams are just playing out the string at this point. Look for Dallas to get the cover here.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take San Jose +0.5 GL over LAFC (7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday September 19) San Jose hadn’t won a match since the World Cup up until recently but lo and behold they have now won two straight and look like a completely different side. They manhandled a good San Diego side on the road in a 3-2 win that was more dominant than the final score might indicate. And last week they gutted out a 1-0 win here at home vs. a Houston side that is one of the top teams in the Western Conference. We were on San Jose in that one and mentioned in our writeup that one of the main problems with the Earthquakes since the World Cup break is that they were lacking confidence and now they seem to have it back in spades and their play has been exceptionally strong. They are now unbeaten in four straight matches, and they are back in a Top 4 spot in the West with a chance to move higher with three points here. We only need a draw however, to cash this ticket, and we think they can do enough to get at least a point. LAFC is coming off a 3-1 road loss at Kansas City, one of MLS’s worst sides. LAFC are behind the Earthquakes in the standings despite all the struggles San Jose has faced since the World Cup break. They have only one win in their last eight MLS matches, and this side is just not playing championship-caliber futbol right now. San Jose always raises their level of play when LAFC comes to town and have won five of the last six meetings here.

Thursday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: White Sox -127

Fifty and a half in Arlington is the number I want you holding. Not because both defenses are fake. Because 50.5 is the number the market hung on a series that just lived 53, 66, 60, 48 and 55.

You are not fading defense. You are fading a 50.5 that is priced like this rivalry forgot how it scores. Cowboys lead it 81-49-2. That is the side of the ledger. The total is the other page. Last six meetings: 30-23, 44-22, 23-19, 34-26, 38-10, 45-10. Combined 53, 66, 42, 60, 48, 55. Five of six cashed a 50. Last two in this building: 44-22 and 23-19. One smash, one under on a 43.5. Public money will hammer the under because Week 1 was 24-22 and 28-20 and “NFC East always stalls in September.” That is how 50.5 gets to the window looking fat instead of the number that does not match Christmas, October, Thanksgiving, and January in this series.

Do not buy this down to 49.5 and pay extra juice to sleep better. The 50.5 is the reason I am writing it. Sit on your hands. Let the first quarter look like October in Dallas. If it is 14-10 at the half, the over is already doing its job.

Sunday 4:25. Dallas -4.5. Washington 0-1 after 24-22 in Philadelphia. Dallas 0-1 after 28-20 to the Giants. Combined 46 and 48 last week. That is not this series. This series in the last two years has been 66 and 53 and 60. Cowboys 3,150 points all-time in the rivalry, Washington 2,582. The building does not keep these games in the 30s unless somebody forgets to throw it.

Bet the over 50.5 in Commanders–Cowboys games.
Last 6 meetings: 53, 66, 42, 60, 48, 55. Five of six cashed 50. Average 54.0. (+3.6 units, ROI=54.5%)

Bet the over when these two meet in Dallas and the number is 50 or higher.
Last meeting here: 44-22. Posted 55.5 and still went over. (+1.0 units, ROI=90.9%)

Bet overs in this series when five of the last six already cleared 47.
38-10 was the “low” one and it still cashed 47. (+4.0 units, ROI=60.6%)

My selection is on the 'under' between Detroit and Buffalo at 8:15 pm et on Thursday.

Bettors are anticipating a shootout between the Lions and Bills at brand new Highmark Stadium in Buffalo on Thursday. I believe this total will prove too high. Detroit ended up involved in a high-scoring 31-30 overtime game against New Orleans on Sunday. It was a tale of two halves as the Lions defense completely shut down the Saints offense early before coming unglued late, ultimately coughing up a 21-0 lead. Meanwhile, the Bills absolutely eviscerated an elite Texans defense in a big road win in Houston. Buffalo's defense obviously has some work to do after that poor performance, however. It does catch a break here with the Lions offensive line dealing with a cluster of injuries and the team travelling on a short week. It's early in the season and I'm just not ready to go 'over' a total this lofty, even in a game that features such elite offensive talent. Take the under (8*).

PSP Data Driven 1* Lions.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Underdog. The Bills are 3-4 ATS in their last 7 games. The Bills are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 home games.

Panthers vs. Falcons: Under 44 is the Play

Two 0-1 NFC South teams meet in Week 2, but they got there in very different ways — one defense just allowed 59 points, the other team doesn't have a starting quarterback.

The line has flipped. Atlanta opened as the favorite, and it's easy to see why: the Falcons QB situation. Michael Penix has already been ruled out, and I'd be shocked if Tua Tagovailoa plays either. Cooper Rush started Week 1 and looked overmatched — he's also dealing with back spasms. Jack Strand is next man up, and I think Atlanta should go with him. This offense has real weapons; it just needs someone who can get them the ball. Rush proved Week 1 that he can't. For that reason, I'm waiting on the spread until Atlanta names a starter — whoever it is should move this line back toward Carolina.

Carolina's offense actually looked legit last week. Bryce Young had a big day throwing to Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, pushing the ball downfield against a bad Bears defense. But that came with a massive cost: this was the worst defensive showing in Panthers franchise history. Chicago converted 10 of 14 first downs, ran for 291 yards, and put up 59 points on Carolina in a 59-37 shootout. Scoring 37 wins most games — it didn't here. Bijan Robinson is going to be a serious problem for this defense; he went for 21 carries/83 yards and added 8 catches for 90 yards and a score last week.

Atlanta's defense, meanwhile, was fine. They held Pittsburgh to 264 total yards (58 rushing), got 4 sacks, and kept the Steelers to 3-of-13 on third down. Carolina is also 0-9 straight-up and against the spread as a favorite — a trend worth remembering here.

So: we're on Atlanta, but we wait for the QB news.

The Under is where I have real conviction. As bad as Carolina's defense looked, they're not facing Caleb Williams this week — whoever starts for Atlanta is going to struggle to move the ball. I'm also not a believer in Bryce Young sustaining that kind of production, and Atlanta's defense should be strong at home.

One more angle: I dug up a trend from Totals Tipsheet — same-division games where the road team is favored and the total is 39 or higher have gone 28-46 to the Under all-time (65%), and 1-9 (90%) over the last five years.

Play: Panthers vs. Falcons Under 44 (-110)

Let's cash some tickets!

For one of my best free picks on Sunday I am looking at the Washington Commanders at the Philadelphia Eagles here on Sunday. I think we are getting a great value here getting more than a field goal with Washington. Over the years these teams no matter how good either one is play tight NFC East style games. I think Washington is under valued due to their poor season last year and the Eagles are over rated as usual and should see some decline this year. Look for a field goal win from the Eagles but it would shock me if we saw an upset here.

Play on the Washington Commanders plus the points rotation #475
