Picks:
– Iowa — Under 14.5 (-110)
– Iowa pulled off a miraculous win in Ann Arbor last week, but much of that scoring came via special teams and a last-second play. Facing Ohio State next, I don’t expect the same kind of heroics, so limit the Iowa scoring.
– Navy vs. Air Force — Under 46.5 (-112)
– When two service academies meet, the game typically stays low-scoring. Both teams run clock-heavy, run-oriented offenses and are familiar with the option, which tends to suppress scoring.
– Milwaukee Brewers — Moneyline (-230)
– The Padres are hot, but Game 1 of the NLDS pits them against Jacob Misiorowski, and San Diego’s pitching rotation is unsettled after the wild-card round. I’m siding with the Brewers to take the series opener.
– Tennessee Titans — Under 15.5 (-115)
– The Titans have struggled to move the ball on offense, and with a tough road trip to Baltimore looming, I don’t expect a dramatic offensive turnaround this week.
– Detroit Lions — Moneyline (-185)
– Detroit hosts Carolina in Week 4, and the Panthers are dealing with significant injuries on both sides of the ball. Expect the Lions’ offense to capitalize and secure a win on Sunday night.
Parlay: +1393 (bet $10 to win $149.30)
Fan Take: For NFL fans, these picks underline how injuries, matchups and short-term momentum can quickly reshape expectations early in the season. What happens in these games can affect playoff races, betting markets and the broader narrative about which teams are legit contenders.
