Moneyline Parlay
The Texans hit the jackpot with C.J. Stroud. But theyâve also got an improving secondary and a defense that can handle Kyler Murray and the Cardinalsâ offense.
In Cleveland, the Browns will start Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Knowing Deshaun Watson was beginning to get to his old self, thatâs not ideal. Still, the Browns should have enough success on the ground against Pittsburgh to escape with the win.
Iâve got the Eagles beating the Chiefs on Monday night. This will be one of the most-watched games in the last decade for a regular season game. However, the Chiefsâ offense hasnât impressed me this year. The Eagles have, especially with A.J. Brown having the season heâs had. Take the Eagles with the plus money.
Parlay Odds: +484

NBA Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Phoenix Suns @ Utah Jazz
The return of Devin Booker is what the Suns needed as they smashed the Timberwolves with 133 points in the win. It doesnât look like theyâll have Bradley Beal again, as heâs listed as doubtful, but it seems like as long as they have two of their top playmakers, they can stay afloat.
The Jazz could be in for a tough night as theyâre just 29th in adjusted defensive rankings and have been playing a brutal schedule. Theyâve only been able to grab four wins so far, all against under .500 teams.
The Suns have some solid defensive numbers, but their strength of schedule is much easier. Utah has been a much better team at home, and theyâll be able to stay competitive offensively, so the most confident bet is the over.
Pick: Over 236.5 (-110)

College Football Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
#22 North Carolina Tar Heels @ Clemson Tigers
- Leg 1: Clemson -7.5 (-110)
- Leg 2: Drake Maye Under 265.5 Passing Yards (-114)
- Leg 3: Cade Klubnik Over 237.5 Passing Yards (-114)
North Carolina has a great offense led by Drake Maye, but they cannot play any defense. They were in a shootout last week against their in-state rivals Duke, who was playing with their backup quarterback and had only scored 40+ against FCS program Lafayette and 1-9 UConn. Clemson has failed to find consistency this year, but they are on their best stretch of the season. The offense is clicking, and theyâre responsible for 59 points in the last two games. The defense also has seven takeaways and two touchdowns in that span. At home, with an offense playing better recently and a significant advantage on the defensive end, the Tigers cover.
Drake Maye has been tested against some of the nationâs best-passing defenses. Heâs faced three defenses that are in the top 40 in passing yards per game allowed. Against Appalachian State, he had his season-low 206 yards but had 290+ yards against Duke. Clemson has been locking down quarterbacks, allowing under 200 passing yards in their last six games. That defensive line knows how to put pressure, and Maye should have a tough day.
Cade Klubnikâs first year as a starter isnât going too well. His QBR is 68th in the country, and he has thrown five picks in his last four games. Theyâre still giving him the ball, and he will sling it, especially with how bad the UNC pass defense is at 83rd in passing yards allowed per game. The Tar Heels are allowing the fourth-most pass attempts per game, and Clemson is pretty much 50/50 with their pass and run plays, so Klubnik will get enough attempts to hit his over.
Total Parlay Odds: +573
