Today’s Best Free Sports Betting Picks and Predictions From Our Experts

*Free Play on West Virginia* West Virginia bringing in Cam Cook in the backfield is a game changer. How did Jacksonville State look without Cook in the backfield next to Creel last weekend? Cook was the guy who made that Jacksonville State offense go last season! Such a tough runner! How can we expect a total rebuild defense in Coastal Carolina with low talent rankings to stop Cook and company? I don't think they will.

Coastal Carolina brings in Ryan Beard who did a good job at Missouri State. Maybe it will work out in the long haul, but he has his work cut out for him this season. They have no clear cut starter at QB. Samari Collier was the spark for the Coastal offense late last year, but he is gone. A big downgrade. The offensive line for Coastal is going to be a big weakness. The talent level here is just too low for the Sun Belt- and definitely too low for a Big 12 foe.

Rich Rodriguez is 15-4 ATS in his last 19 games as a home favorite. West Virginia has a great home field advantage, and this team is much improved this season. I'm low on Coastal Carolina.

Take West Virginia here.

(#219) Clemson Tigers | ATS | . 

This should be a closer game than the oddsmakers are expecting. With the total close to 50 points, LSU would need to score around 30 to cover the spread. I don't expect that to happen on Saturday. All season long a year ago, LSU failed miserably to put up points. I understand that this is a new offense with a new HC & QB (and good one's at that.) However, this is a very difficult opening game to have to start with.

Clemson's defense is also getting under appreciated in my eyes. Dabo Swinney always seems to have his guys ready for a real fight, especially in these games early on in the season. I wouldn't be shocked if the road Tigers upset LSU here given all of the emotions. Grab the points in the ABC game on Saturday evening.

Burns' Prediction: 20-17 LSU.

(3 Unit Free Play Over 44) Taron Dickens transferred in to Northern Illinois. He was a star at Western Carolina at QB. He won SoCon Offensive Player of the Year. With Dickens and a new coaching staff, Northern Illinois looking to be aggressive and throw the ball a lot more. They are also looking to run tempo. Northern Illinois will look a whole lot different on offense than they did last season.

The Northern Illinois defense is in bad shape. They will likely look even worse with the faster pace being played by the offense. The Huskies are likely to give up quite a few points, even against an Iowa team that doesn't normally score all that much. Iowa is going to score here though. The Hawkeyes run game behind a strong offensive line way be way too much for the Huskies defensive front.

It's a low total, and we'll go over the total.

Miami of Ohio is a good Mid-American Conference team - as long as it's not being asked to step up in class. Unfortunately for the RedHawks that is the case here on the road against Pittsburgh, a team with aspirations of winning the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The RedHawks are 2-9 ATS the last 11 times as an underdog, including failing to cover the past six times when getting points. They also are 1-9 in their last 10 season openers.

Pittsburgh had a top 10 run defense last season and returns Mason Heintschel, who emerged as one of the best freshman quarterbacks in the country last year. The Panthers went 6-3 after Heintschel replaced an ineffective Eli Holstein.

The Panthers have a huge QB edge here as the RedHawks will be starting transfer quarterback David McComb. Miami of Ohio lost starting quarterback Thomas Gotkowski after he suffered a season-ending, non-contact injury. So McComb will be making his first college start on the road against a strong ACC defense. Not exactly a formula for success.

3* on UCLA

Georgia -46.5

Georgia is worth a free move laying points. The Bulldogs will not have any issue here against Tennessee State. This Tenn State side lost to Jackson State in Week 0 and will just simply not be able to slow Georgia down. Even the second stringers will be able to move the ball with easy as this game will be a blowout from the start. Back Georgia. Locking this in early.

Dave's Friday Free Play:

1* on Nationals/Dodgers OVER 8

The Key: The Dodgers will likely cover this total on their own tonight.  Rookie Jackson Kent is 1-2 with a 5.59 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 4 starts this year for the Nationals while yielding 12 ER in 19 1/3 innings.  The Nationals have a 5.01 ERA as a bullpen this year as well.  The Nationals have a potent offense scoring 5.2 RPG this year.  They just got more potent with the return of their best hitter in James Wood.  They should get enough of Blake Snell and this taxed Dodgers bullpen to contribute to the total.  The OVER is 9-0 in the last 9 matchups between the Nationals and Dodgers with 10 or more combined runs in all 9 matchups.  Take the OVER.

The College Football Comp play is on Iowa St at 1 eastern. Game 307012. The Cyclones are in a nice week 1 system that plays on Large home favorites in week 1 that are taking on a team off a week 1 win like South East Missouri St. This system has cashed 11 straight. SEMO looked good in a win over Indiana St last week and now will step way up in Competition here against an Iowa St with a new coach and several new players. Iowa St has edges on both sides of the ball and it may take a while to get rolling they should pull away later in the game where the line is creeping up despite most of the money on SEMO to cover. We will back the better team and ride with a solid week 1 system. Play on Iowa St. GL Rob V-

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #164 Under in Marshall Thundering Herd @ Penn State Nittany Lions (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 5 FS1) The Matt Campbell era gets underway at Penn State on Saturday. Penn State should still have a strong defense and Coach Campbell is a run the ball and play strong defense type of coach. I don’t think he will want to throw the football up and down the field and focus on field position and ball control. Marshall usually a bowl caliber team and not a mid-major pushover like some teams. They have to run clock to have any chance to keep this game under twenty points and that should set up a strong play for the under. Marshall closed out the season going under the posted total in 3 straight games. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend card featuring top plays in football, baseball, and soccer. 3 straight winning weeks to open up the football season and you can receive all football plays for half off with a one week football package.

Saturday's Free CFB Pick

PLAY ON: Clemson +10 

Louisville +7 in Nashville is the side I want you holding. Not because Ole Miss is a mirage. Because 7 is too much juice to lay in a rented building before either offense has taken a real snap. Neutral site, ranked-on-ranked, first Sunday of the year. That is how hooks get fat.

You are not fading the Rebels to lose. You are fading them to win by more than a touchdown while both staffs are still installing. That is a different ticket. 27-24 Ole Miss cashes. 24-21 cashes. 23-20 Louisville is the gift. The moneyline is a dart. The number is the work. Public money will hammer the higher logo because it travels and it is on ABC. That is how plus-7 gets to the window looking like value instead of a prayer.

Do not buy this down to +6.5 and pay extra juice to sleep better. The 7 is the reason I am writing it. Sit on your hands. Let the first-game rust show up on both sidelines. If Ole Miss is up 14-0 at the half and still cannot punch the second one in, that hook starts earning its keep.

Bet Louisville plus the number as an underdog of 4.5 to 8.5 on a neutral site.
That spot since 2023: 11-6 (64.7%) with an average spread of +6.3. (+4.4 units, ROI=23.5%)

Bet the dog in Week 1 ranked-on-ranked games posted between 4.5 and 8.
That spot since 2022: 16-10 (61.5%) with an average spread of +6.1. (+4.8 units, ROI=16.8%)

Bet against a favorite of 6 to 7.5 in a neutral-site opener.
That spot since 2023: 18-11 (62.1%). (+5.7 units, ROI=17.9%)

If the Rebels hang 35, we tip the cap and move on. If this thing lives in the 20s, the points do what we paid them to do. That is the bet. Take the 7. Do not overthink the logo.

Our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers to defeat the Washington Nationals on Friday at 10:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Washington will start Jackson Kent -- Even off his good start, his statistics are not good at all this season.

The Nationals actually have a losing record this season when playing with a rest advantage.

Los Angeles will start Blake Snell -- He had a 1.17 earned run average in four starts in August.

The Dodgers avoided the sweep in the dying moments of yesterday's game against STL. Tonight, we look for them to dominate.

They are also 71-47 this season when playing on zero rest (best record in MLB).

We're on LAD.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR FRIDAY, 9/4:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Friday is with the Seattle Mariners with the money-line versus the Athletics. Seattle (66-75) had won two games in a row before their 7-4 loss at home against the Athletics yesterday. The Mariners have still won 10 of their last 13 games at home against fellow AL West rivals. They have also won 6 of their last 7 home games when proved as a money-line favorite in the -151 to -200 price range. The Athletics (54-86) has won two games in a row — but they have still lost 21 of their last 28 games on the road. They have also lost 26 of their last 33 games against teams with a losing record. Take Seattle with the money-line. Best of luck — Frank.
