NFL PRESEASON: COMMANDERS +115
Handicapper: Jimmy Boyd
Jimmy Boyd backs WASHINGTON +115 against Detroit. His selection is driven by his machine-learning handicapping models, which identify value on the Commanders as a short road underdog.
Free Pick: COMMANDERS +115
NFL PRESEASON: COMMANDERS-LIONS UNDER 37
Handicapper: Black Widow
Black Widow goes to the total in Washington-Detroit with UNDER 37, making it the free Wiseguy selection. The handicap incorporates situational data, trends, statistics and injury information.
Free Pick: UNDER 37
NFL PRESEASON: BROWNS -3
Handicapper: Sean Murphy
Sean Murphy likes CLEVELAND -3 against Buffalo. Cleveland’s quarterback rotation is the primary attraction, with Shedeur Sanders expected to see extensive action. Buffalo’s reserve quarterback setup is considered the weaker of the two.
Free Pick: BROWNS -3
NFL PRESEASON: RAVENS +3.5
Handicapper: Mike Williams
Mike Williams takes the points with Baltimore against Minnesota.
Free Pick: RAVENS +3.5
NFL PRESEASON: GIANTS -3
Handicapper: ASA
ASA backs NEW YORK GIANTS -3 at Miami. The Giants reportedly controlled their joint practice with the Dolphins, particularly along the line of scrimmage. New York’s defensive front consistently pressured Miami’s quarterbacks, while the Giants also handled the South Florida heat well.
ASA also sees an early quarterback advantage for New York and notes the Giants’ strong historical preseason performance under their head coach.
Free Pick: GIANTS -3
NFL PRESEASON: EAGLES -1.5
Handicapper: Brian Bitler
Brian Bitler recommends PHILADELPHIA -1.5 at New England. The central handicapping edge is quarterback depth, with Philadelphia’s rotation viewed as substantially stronger entering Saturday’s matchup.
Free Pick: EAGLES -1.5
NFL PRESEASON: SAINTS -1
Handicapper: Joe Duffy
Joe Duffy backs NEW ORLEANS -1 against the Rams in a systems-and-contrarian play. Recent preseason data has punished heavily backed teams in short-spread games, and Los Angeles is attracting an overwhelming majority of both tickets and money.
The Saints also remain close to Duffy’s original power number, meaning bettors aren’t being asked to chase a significant line move.
Free Pick: SAINTS -1
NFL PRESEASON: COWBOYS +110
Handicapper: Oliver Smith
Oliver Smith takes DALLAS +110 against Arizona, backing the Cowboys outright as a short underdog.
Free Pick: COWBOYS +110
NFL PRESEASON: COWBOYS-CARDINALS UNDER 38
Handicapper: R&R Totals
R&R Totals attacks the Dallas-Arizona matchup with UNDER 38. The totals specialist enters the selection with a 19-10 run across his last 29 NFL preseason totals selections.
Free Pick: UNDER 38
MLB: CUBS +107
Handicapper: Calvin King
Calvin King takes the plus-money price with Chicago against Seattle.
Free Pick: CUBS +107
MLB: ROYALS -105
Handicapper: Ricky Tran
Ricky Tran backs KANSAS CITY -105 against Detroit. Kansas City enters having won seven of its last eight, while Detroit has dropped seven of nine. The Royals have also won the last three meetings between the clubs.
Free Pick: ROYALS -105
MLB: DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 +130
Handicapper: Ray Monohan
Ray Monohan goes after plus-money run-line value with Arizona against Cincinnati. Monohan enters Saturday off a 2-1 Friday and lists the Diamondbacks run line as his free MLB selection.
Free Pick: DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 +130
MLB: BRAVES-BREWERS UNDER 8
Handicapper: Mike Lundin
Mike Lundin enters on an 8-0 run and targets UNDER 8 in Atlanta-Milwaukee.
Atlanta starter Martín Pérez had thrown 16 consecutive scoreless innings before his most recent outing and previously held Milwaukee to one run over six innings. Brewers starter Logan Henderson owns a 2.70 ERA and has posted a 2.40 ERA across his last five starts.
Free Pick: UNDER 8
MLB: ASTROS -1.5
Handicapper: Marc David
Marc David backs HOUSTON -1.5 against Oakland. The Athletics enter on a five-game losing streak, while Houston starter Hunter Brown has held Oakland’s current hitters to a low batting average in their previous matchups. Oakland starter Jacob Lopez enters with an ERA above 5.00.
Free Pick: ASTROS -1.5
MLB: GUARDIANS -135
Handicapper: ProSportsPicks
The ProSportsPicks data-driven model favors CLEVELAND -135 against Colorado. Cleveland has won four of its last six while Colorado has dropped five of six.
Free Pick: GUARDIANS -135
WNBA: SUN-SPARKS OVER 166.5
Handicappers: Matt Sullivan and Bobby Conn
Two handicappers independently land on the same WNBA total Saturday. Matt Sullivan and Bobby Conn both recommend OVER 166.5 in Connecticut-Los Angeles.
Free Pick: OVER 166.5
WNBA: SUN +4.5
Handicapper: Rocky Atkinson
Rocky Atkinson enters Saturday riding a 9-0 WNBA run and takes CONNECTICUT +4.5 against Los Angeles. His case includes Los Angeles’ poor long-term ATS performance as a favorite and Connecticut’s strong historical record in the series.
Free Pick: SUN +4.5
SOCCER: NASHVILLE SC -135
Handicapper: Steve Janus
Steve Janus backs NASHVILLE SC -135 against Columbus as his free sharp soccer selection.
Free Pick: NASHVILLE SC -135
SOCCER: REAL MADRID -1
Handicapper: Rob Vinciletti
Rob Vinciletti recommends REAL MADRID -1 on the Asian handicap against Espanyol. Real Madrid has dominated the head-to-head series and enters with the superior talent and depth, while Espanyol underwent considerable roster turnover.
Free Pick: REAL MADRID -1
UFC: ANTHONY HERNANDEZ -195
Handicapper: Hunter Price
Hunter Price backs ANTHONY HERNANDEZ -195 against Gregory Rodrigues.
Free Pick: ANTHONY HERNANDEZ -195
