New England Patriots @ New York Giants

The Giants shocked the Washington Commanders last weekend. That performance has many bettors confident in the Giants this week against the 2-8 Patriots. However, there has never been a better time to fade the Giants and back the Patriots not just to win, but to dominate this game.

Bill Belichick is 16-7 as a head coach coming off the bye. Though we have no idea who will be starting at quarterback for the Patriots, the fact that DeVito is the starter for the Giants is more than enough for us to take the Patriots to cover the 3.5 they’re favored by.

This is a great spot for the Patriots to blow off some frustration from this season. Their last two losses were by a combined seven points, and one could argue that they should have won both games. Before their win over the Commanders, the Giants had lost their previous two games by 32 and 24 points, respectively. The Patriots’ offense will need to score 21 points for this bet to hit. That’s far from a sure thing. Still, with an extra week to prepare for an awful Giants team, we expect this to get ugly.

Bet: Alternate Total |Patriots -13.5 (+345)

Denver Nuggets @ Houston Rockets

Going into this season, you weren’t circling this matchup, but the Rockets have started well. They’ve hit a little skid, losing three of five. However, defensively, they are still playing fantastic, as they’re 13th in adjusted defensive ranking despite having the eighth-most difficult defensive strength of schedule.

One of those wins was against the Nuggets, as the champs are missing Jamal Murray. They have gone under 60% effective field shooting in seven straight and averaged under 120 points per 100 possessions in six of eight games Murray has missed.

Houston has already proven they can go head-to-head with the big boys, and they can do it again at home.

Play: Rockets +3 (-108)

College Football Best Bets

Washington State Cougars @ #4 Washington Huskies

  • Leg 1: Washington State +16.5 (-108)
  • Leg 2: Josh Kelly Over 64.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
  • Leg 3: Michael Penix Jr. Under 332.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Washington continues to play close games and finds ways to win. Last week, it was against No. 11 Oregon State, where the Beavers pulled within two points after being down 22-10, but the Huskies held them off. As a reward, they earned a spot in the Pac-12 Championship and moved up to No. 4. Now they face their first unranked opponent in a month. Washington State started the season 4-0 but did not win again until last week against Colorado, giving them a 2-6 conference record. They haven’t been runaways, as they’ve lost three of their six by less than a touchdown, including the last two. With how Washington has been playing, more than two touchdowns is a big number to cover.

The Cougars have the third-highest pass-play percentage, so expect them to pass throughout this game. Josh Kelly is an explosive receiver, averaging 15.4 yards after the catch. Nobody has seen more pass attempts than Washington, so expect Kelly and the rest of the receiving corps to see a lot of targets.

Michael Penix Jr. has had some impressive games, but he’s also been lackluster against favorable opponents. He went against USC, who are 113th in passing yards allowed and managed just 256 yards. He’s still getting these high totals based on his talent, but it’s difficult to trust him.

Total Parlay: +579
