Favorite 5 Weekend Picks
NCAAF: Missouri vs. South Carolina: South Carolina -13.5 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Saturday, November 16, 4:15 PM ET
With Brady Cook doubtful for Saturday's game, the Missouri Tigers will struggle. In Missouri's last road game, backup QB Drew Pyne threw three interceptions and helped Missouri to a 34-0 loss against Alabama.
While he looked better last week against Oklahoma, the game was probably too close for comfort. Meanwhile, South Carolina has won three straight games and has all the momentum at home in this one. LaNorris Sellers has kept the interceptions down, and the defense has stepped up a big way.
NCAAF: Tennessee vs. Georgia: Georgia -10 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Saturday, November 16, 7:30 PM ET
I'm thinking what everyone else is thinking.
Georgia cannot lose back-to-back games, especially at home, against a Tennessee team that might not have its starting quarterback.
Tennessee might be on a four-game winning streak. But it still lost to Arkansas on the road and has played four home games since. Even at home, the last four opponents have scored at least 17 points against Tennessee. The defense isn't up to par.
Look for Georgia to dominate in this one. They've got to prove they're still worthy. And they will.
NCAAF: Kansas vs. BYU: Over 56.5 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Saturday, November 16, 10:15 PM
The BYU Cougars are undefeated and have scored at least 34 points in four of their last five games. Last week, they won thanks to a couple of controversial calls against Utah. In that game, BYU scored 22 points on the road and still won.
That said, BYU's offense is typically elite. Now, Kansas' offense has started to show some life. Kansas has added at least 42 points in two of the last three games. During the previous five Kansas games, at least one team has scored 29 or more points.
BYU and Kansas are about to have a late-night shootout. Take the over.
NFL: Los Vegas Raiders vs. Miami Dolphins: Dolphins -7 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Sunday, November 17, 1:00 PM ET
The Raiders have elected to start Gardner Minshew at quarterback against the Dolphins. Minshew has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns this season. The Raiders are also 2-7 and parted with Davante Adams earlier this year.
On the other hand, the Dolphins are just 3-6. But with Tua Tagovailoa back, the offense has looked so much better. The Dolphins added a win against the Rams and have been much more competitive over the last three games, scoring at least 23 in all three matchups.
The Raiders won't be able to keep up. Take the Dolphins at -7.
NFL: Packers vs. Bears: Packers -5 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Sunday, November 17, 1:00 PM ET
The Bears fired their offensive coordinator prior to this week's game against the Packers. Instead of Shane Waldron, it'll be Thomas Brown, whom Caleb Williams says he doesn't have a strong connection with. During his presser, he admitted that he hasn't talked to Brown that much throughout the season. All of the Bears players were frustrated with Waldron and how the Bears have performed offensively. But some of it concerns Williams, who hasn't developed like the other rookies have this season. Even with the Packers on the road in a rivalry game, give me Green Bay. The Packers will outplay and outcoach this Bears disaster of a team.
