Seahawks vs. Commanders Week 9 Sunday Night Football picks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba should shine for Seattle

Jayden Daniels is back for the Washington Commanders for a primetime date against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football.

The pregame narrative: It’s gut-check time for Washington (3-5), which already has as many losses as last year’s squad. The Commanders are home underdogs against a rising Seahawks team that is 10-1 on the road since the start of last season.

Check out my Seahawks vs. Commander picks for Nov. 2, featuring a prop bet on Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seahawks vs. Commanders picks

Best Bet: Smith-Njigba over 94.5 receiving yards (-113)

I’m not exactly sticking my neck out with this pick, given that Smith-Njigba has been the best receiver in the NFL so far:

1st in yards (819)
1st in yards/game (117.0)
1st in yards/target (11.7)
6th in receptions (50)

The third-year wideout has been an absolute ball hog, too, commanding the highest target share in the NFL (38.3%).

Defences know what’s coming. And they haven’t been able to stop it.

-> Bet on Smith-Njigba against the Commanders

Why should we expect anything different from the Commanders this week? Their secondary has struggled throughout the season, leading to the 25th-ranked EPA per dropback (according to RBSDM.com).

Washington has also allowed the fourth-most yards to opposing WRs.

Seattle’s WR2, Cooper Kupp (heel), went from a full practice on Wednesday to a limited practice on Thursday. Not necessarily something to read into heavily, but worth noting.

JSN is averaging 22 yards north of this line, and he has 120+ yards in three straight games. Ride the freight train, or get off the tracks.

Key stat: Smith-Njigba is 6-1 vs. this yardage prop and had a respectable total in his one under (four catches for 79 yards).

Embed: #120494

Sunday Night Football ATS pick

Seahawks -3 (-114): Daniels’ return absolutely raises the ceiling of the Commanders’ offence. But Terry McLaurin is out again, and Washington’s task against this Seattle defence is a daunting one.

The Seahawks’ pass defence should see the return of Pro Bowl corner Devon Witherspoon this week. In the run game, Seattle ranks No. 1 in yards allowed, yards/attempt and EPA per rush.

-> Don’t miss out — Bet on Sunday Night Football!

Seattle is 5-2 SU and ATS this season, covering this number in every victory (including all three of its road games).

Even if Daniels provides an expected boost to Washington’s offence, Seattle is capable of scoring plenty of points itself. The Seahawks are fifth in scoring, averaging 27.6 PPG.

NFL Week 9 TD picks and predictions: Ride with Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs to find the end zone

Coming off a three-touchdown game, Davante Adams is one of my NFL Week 9 TD picks.

The pregame narrative: Adams has been exceptionally active near the goal line this season and is worth a look in the anytime TD market on Sunday. Two other wideouts, Stefon Diggs and Jordan Addison, are plus-money scoring threats.

Check out my top NFL Week 9 TD picks for Sunday, Nov. 2.

NFL Week 9 TD picks

Best bet: Addison to score (+255)

I don’t love the Minnesota Vikings’ chances of hanging with the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but I do think there’s ample value on this play based on Addison’s recent usage.

After serving a three-game suspension to open the season, Addison jumped right into a prominent role in the Vikings’ offence.

In four games, Addison has 21 catches for 309 yards and two TDs.

His 14.2% target share ranks in the 67th percentile, per Rotowire, while his 94.3 air yards per game ranks in the 91st percentile.

Despite missing three of Minnesota’s seven games, Addison is tied for the team lead in red zone targets (seven).

-> Bet on Jordan Addison’s receiving props vs. the Lions

Last week, Addison scored the Vikings’ lone touchdown (a four-yard reception) in a blowout loss. A garbage time score could certainly be in play this Sunday in Detroit.

The Lions are accustomed to playing from ahead and forcing opponents to throw at a high volume.

They’ve faced the fourth-fewest rush attempts in the NFL this season and allowed the fifth-most passing TDs.

Key stat: Since Week 5, Addison has seven of the Vikings’ 18 red zone targets. He’s also averaging a healthy 7.5 targets/game overall.

Embed: #120484

-> Don’t miss out — Bet on NFL Week 9!

Best NFL touchdown bets

Adams to score (-122): Adams scored a hat trick of touchdowns last time out while Puka Nacua was sidelined due to an injury.

But even with Nacua re-entering the fold this week, Adams is a worthwhile pick to score at this price.

No receiver is more involved near the end zone than Adams. The future Hall of Famer leads the NFL in targets inside the 10-yard line (11), per Fantasy Pros.

Nobody else has more than seven.

Adams has at least one target inside the 10-yard line in five of seven games, and he’s 4-3 vs. his anytime TD prop.

Nacua will take some heat off Adams defensively, and I expect Matthew Stafford to continue to look Adams’ way.

Diggs to score (+135): Tua Tagovailoa has been awful this year, but he looked like Dan Marino last week, carving up the Atlanta Falcons’ defence (four TDs on 20-of-26 passing).

Now it’s Drake Maye’s turn to do damage against the Falcons, and I expect Diggs to be a beneficiary.

Maye has 15 passing TDs in eight games — including eight TDs in his past three.

Diggs was one of three Patriots to score last week at home vs. Cleveland.

Last week’s TD was the first of the season for Diggs, who’s starting to see consistent looks in the most important area of the field.

Diggs has been targeted in the red zone in five straight games, and he had three targets inside the 10-yard line last week alone.

Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Game 6 World Series SGP predictions: Fade Ohtani, bet on Guerrero to stay hot at home

It’s not a trick; the Toronto Blue Jays can become World Series champions at home on Halloween night.

The pregame narrative: Holding a 3-2 series lead, Toronto hosts Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Yamamoto tossed a four-hit complete game at Rogers Centre back in Game 2, and his Dodgers are favoured to even the series.

Check out my Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Game 6 parlay predictions, featuring Yamamoto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Shohei Ohtani.

Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Game 6 parlay

Embed: #120482

Ohtani under 1.5 bases | Guerrero 1+ hits | Yamamoto over 5.5 Ks (+310)

Ohtani under 1.5 total bases (-117): Ohtani can go off at any time, and he’s arguably the most dangerous hitter in the sport.

But interspersed among a few epic games this postseason, the NL MVP-in-waiting has had plenty of quiet showings.

2+ hits in three games
2+ strikeouts in eight games
Hitless in six games
Under 1.5 bases in 10 of 15

-> Bet on World Series Game 6 at NorthStar Bets

All three of his multi-hit games were also multi-homer games, which speaks to the point about how dangerous he is.

But Toronto starter Kevin Gausman has navigated this matchup well, and I think he can do so again.

Against Gausman, Ohtani is just 2-for-15 with six strikeouts. He went 0-for-3 off Gausman in Game 2 and singled off a reliever in his final at-bat.

The Jays have also walked Ohtani seven times already through five games. They’re comfortable pitching around him, which works in the favour of this prediction, too.

Embed: #120483

MLB SGP picks

Guerrero 1+ hits (-225): With the Blue Jays on the cusp of a championship, Guerrero is the odds-on favourite to win World Series MVP.

His name carries plenty of cachet, but it’s more than that. Vladdy has carried his elite postseason production into the biggest series of his life.

-> Add Vladdy to your same-game parlay!

In the World Series, Guerrero is 8-for-22 (.364) with an 1.136 OPS.

In the postseason overall, Guerrero is 27-for-65 (.415) with a 1.337 OPS.

He has 1+ hits in 14 of 16 games and is currently on a 10-game hit streak.

Yamamoto was nasty against the Blue Jays last time out, but Guerrero did lace a single off him as part of a 1-for-4 night. Guerrero had two balls in play vs. Yamamoto with an exit velocity north of 100 mph.

With how locked in Guerrero has been all October, I’d back him to record a hit against anyone.

Yamamoto over 5.5 Ks (-220): It’s rare to see me riding with the over on a strikeouts prop against the Jays, but I like this teased-down number for Yamamoto tonight.

In Game 2, he struck out eight Blue Jays over 9.0 innings.

His outs line is set at 18.5 tonight, meaning he’s expected to work deep rather than quickly handing the game over to L.A.’s shaky bullpen.

Dating back to the regular season, Yamamoto has 6+ Ks in 14 of his past 15 starts. And he has a 10.1 K/9 in that span.

-> Build your own Blue Jays vs. Dodgers SGP!

Toronto had the lowest K rate in the majors during the regular season (17.8%), and it’s been even lower in the playoffs.

But assuming the Dodgers don’t want to sprint to a bullpen that has a 4.56 ERA and a .262 opponent BA this postseason, he should get enough of a workload to cash this over.

Best NBA prop bets Oct. 30: Fade Adebayo vs. Wemby, bet on Wagner from 3-point range

I’ve got three NBA prop bets in mind from tonight’s four-game slate, including a fade of Bam Adebayo.

The latest: Adebayo’s Miami Heat face Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, which should make for a tough night on the glass. I do have a plus-money rebounding prediction on an over elsewhere, though.

Check out the best NBA prop bets for Oct. 30, featuring Kyshawn George and Franz Wagner.

-> Join NorthStar Bets & bet on the NBA today!

NBA prop bets

Best bet: George over 7.5 rebounds (+110)

The Wizards are among the youngest teams in the NBA this year, and George is at the forefront of the youth movement.

It’s still quite early, but the 21-year-old appears capable of making a significant leap in his second season.

George leads the Wizards in minutes (33.0/game), assists (5.0/game) and rebounds (9.3/game). He’s also 14-for-26 (53.8%) from 3-point range.

-> Want to back Kyshawn George tonight? Wager here!

Though he’s listed as a shooting guard, George has plenty of size at 6-foot-7. He plays an aggressive brand of basketball, evidenced by his 20 personal fouls through four games.

On the glass, he’s averaging 12.8 rebound chances per game, according to NBA.com’s tracking data. That’s a healthy number relative to what this prop is asking.

Despite George’s promising start as a scorer and passer, I’m hesitant to back him in other prop markets based on how stout the Oklahoma City Thunder are on defence.

This seems like a good fit, though, given that OKC allows the seventh-most rebounds per game and will be missing 7-footer Chet Holmgren.

Key stat: George is 4-0 vs. this prop, grabbing 9+ rebounds in three of four games.

Best NBA picks

Wagner over 1.5 threes (-108): The Orlando Magic have dropped four games in a row, so the vibes aren’t exactly great right now.

Orlando needs a lift on offence, and I expect that to happen Thursday night against a subpar Charlotte Hornets squad.

-> Bet on Franz Wagner to cash in from 3-point range on Thursday

Charlotte has allowed the fifth-most points per game (124.8), which is due in part to its 39.2% opponent 3-point percentage (fourth-highest in the NBA).

Who better to take advantage than Wagner, who’s 8-for-19 from deep so far?

Wagner is 3-2 vs. this prop on fairly pedestrian shooting volume. Over the previous two seasons, he averaged 5.2 attempted 3s per game.

I’m hoping for that kind of volume in a matchup that should entice the Magic to prioritize outside shooting.

Adebayo under 9.5 rebounds (-130): Victor Wembanyama is staying home in the paint a lot more this year, and that’s terrible news for opposing centres.

Victor Wembanyama from last year ➡️ this year

3PAr: .470 ➡️ .151
FTr: .221 ➡️ .548
Avg FGA distance: 17.0 ft ➡️ 9.4 ft

We're witnessing one of the most radical shot diet changes you'll ever see and it is very much for the better
— Carson Breber (@Carsobi) October 28, 2025

Wemby spent a lot more time floating on the perimeter last season, lessening his rebound opportunities in the process.

But the 7-foot-4 superstar has been a menace around the rim this year, grabbing a league-high 12.0 rebounds per game.

-> Fade Adebayo vs. Wembanyama’s Spurs

At 6-foot-9, Adebayo is undersized as a centre. He’s typically right around the 9.5-rebound mark, averaging 9.6 RPG since the start of the 2020-21 season.

There’s nothing traditional about Wembanyama, but given that he’s playing more like a traditional centre right now, Adebayo’s rebounding numbers should suffer.

The San Antonio Spurs have allowed just 6.7 RPG to opposing centres, which is easily the lowest total in the NBA.

Best NFL Week 9 prop bets: Look for Josh Allen, Jaxson Dart to have an impact in the ground game

A pair of quarterbacks with some upside in the running game are featured in this week’s NFL prop bets.

The pregame narrative: Josh Allen is a nearly unstoppable force near the goal line, and I’m keying on his anytime TD prop at plus money. Earlier in the day on Sunday, Jaxson Dart should be leaned on more heavily in the ground game at home.

Check out my top NFL Week 9 prop bets, featuring a prediction on Kyren Williams.

NFL Week 9 prop bets

Best bet: Dart over 38.5 rushing yards (-118)

The New York Giants suffered a massive blow on offence last week with running back Cam Skattebo suffering a season-ending ankle injury.

Without Skattebo, the Giants will turn to Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary out of the backfield. But the most dynamic rusher will be Dart.

-> Bet on Jaxson Dart’s prop markets vs. 49ers

The rookie quarterback hasn’t been shy about using his legs so far, rushing for 195 yards in five starts. That works out to 39.0 yards/game and a 3-2 record vs. this prop.

While Dart has rushed for 4.5 yards/carry this season, the combo of Tracy and Singletary has rushed for 3.3 yards/carry.

Could New York try a more pass-heavy approach with Skattebo out? Maybe, but the team lost star wideout Malik Nabers to a season-ending injury weeks ago, and Skattebo was second on the squad in receptions.

Dart is averaging 8.2 rush attempts as a starter, and I’m expecting that volume to hold up. If it does, this is a perfectly attainable yardage mark to clear.

Key stat: In two home starts, Dart is 2-0 vs. this prop while rushing for 112 yards on 23 carries.

Best NFL picks

Williams under 75.5 rushing yards (-118): Given that the Los Angeles Rams are the biggest favourites of the week (-14 vs. Saints), you might think this is setting up to be a massive game for Williams.

I’m not so sure, though.

Williams has gone under 75.5 rushing yards in five of seven games. He’s had 14 or fewer carries in four straight games.

Last time out, the Rams bulldozed the Jaguars, 35-7. But due to the nature of the blowout, Williams split carries evenly with RB2 Blake Corum, 12-12.

-> Don’t miss out — Bet on NFL Week 9!

If another blowout ensues — and there’s plenty of reasons to expect that with the Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough making his first start — I’d expect L.A. to lighten the load for Williams.

Let’s also remember that Puka Nacua (ankle), the NFL’s target leader, is expected to return to play a full game for the first time since Week 5. He’ll surely eat into opportunities that might otherwise go to Williams.

Allen anytime TD (-112): Allen tends to take matters into his own hands when he faces the Kansas City Chiefs. With that in mind, his anytime TD market has my attention.

In eight matchups vs. the Chiefs since 2021, Allen is averaging 10.8 rush attempts and 55.6 rush yards.

For context, he’s averaging 6.9 attempts and 38.4 yards since the 2021 season overall.

Allen has scored four TDs in his past four matchups vs. KC, cashing this bet three times in that span.

Allen called his own number twice last week, scoring a pair of TDs from the one-yard line. He now has nine carries inside the five-yard line this season.

CFL semifinal playoff predictions, picks and betting odds: Look for Lions to cruise, Alexander to guide Alouettes

It’s playoff time in the CFL, with a semifinal doubleheader set to kick off Saturday.

This week’s CFL narrative: The Montreal Alouettes entered the season as the Grey Cup favourites, but a key injury kept them from really shining in the regular season. The Als are 6-point home favourites in a crossover game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, while the BC Lions are favoured to beat the Calgary Stampeders.

CFL playoff predictions

Embed: #120463

Best bet: Alouettes over 27.5 points (-109)

Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports, and I’m all in on Alouettes QB Davis Alexander.

Formerly at Portland State (FCS), Alexander is in his fourth season with the Als — but his first as a starter. In limited action, he’s been exceptional:

7 starts
289.1 yards/game
72.5% completion rate
110.7 passer rating
1.4% INT rate

Alexander dealt with a hamstring injury for portions of the season, which is why he only made seven starts.

But if he’d qualified for season-long rankings, he’d be in the top four in passer rating, completion percentage and yards per attempt (while posting the CFL’s lowest interception rate).

-> Check out full CFL playoff betting markets

Montreal is 7-0 in his starts while scoring an average of 34.0 points.

Last week, the Als lost to the Blue Bombers, 19-10. But Alexander rested for that game, and I expect a drastically different result with him under centre.

Key stat: The over on this point total is 6-1 in Alexander’s seven starts. In the outlier, his Als scored 26 points.

Embed: #120461

CFL playoff picks

Lions -4.5 (-130): BC couldn’t quite catch the Saskatchewan Roughriders down the stretch to win the West Division, but the Lions are entering the playoffs on a nice little heater nonetheless.

Since Sept. 12, the Lions are 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS. All six victories covered a -4.5 spread.

In that six-game span, BC’s average victory margin was 12.7 points.

What’s even more notable is that the Lions’ six-game win streak includes a pair of comfortable victories over the Stampeders: 52-23 on Sept. 19 (road) and 38-24 on Oct. 4 (home).

-> Place your bets on the CFL postseason slate

The Stamps ended their season with three straight wins, including a road victory over the East Division champion Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

But the margin between these teams when they’ve shared the field is stark, and that makes BC worth backing at this number at home.

BC quarterback Nathan Rourke absolutely carved up Calgary, completing 45 of 56 passes (80.4%) for 745 yards, six TDs and two INTs in the two games.

CFL betting odds and matchups: Nov. 1

Blue Bombers (+210) vs. Alouettes (-265)
Saturday, Nov. 1, 2 p.m. ET

Throw out the two head-to-head matchups between these teams in 2025. Montreal scored a combined 23 points in those games, but didn’t have Alexander at QB for either one.

Winnipeg lost three of its final four road games, while Montreal had won five games in a row before resting Alexander in the season finale.

Calgary ranks No. 2 in scoring defence (23.1 PPG), while BC ranks No. 1 in scoring offence (31.1 PPG).

There was a time when the Blue Jays were legitimate underdogs. In the spring, they were a 50-to-1 title team with a sub-80 win total projection back.

We’re a long, long way from that now, though.

Toronto might be a modest underdog in Game 6, but the team is favoured to win the World Series. Plus, all three of its wins in this series have come as an underdog anyway.

-> Bet on the Blue Jays to win the World Series!

To win in Game 6, the Jays will have to be better against Yamamoto than they were last weekend. The Japanese right-hander threw a four-hit complete game last time out in a 5-1 win for L.A.

It was his second complete game in as many starts.

Gausman was solid in Game 2 (6.2 IP, four hits, three runs, six strikeouts) and is exactly who the Blue Jays should want to have in this spot.

The 13-year vet is set for his 14th postseason appearance, and he has ample experience against the Dodgers:

200 plate appearances
25.5% K rate
.228 opponent BA

Shohei Ohtani, who has been everything for L.A. in this series, is 2-for-15 with six Ks vs. Gausman.

George Springer’s status remains uncertain

The biggest question entering Game 6 is the status of Springer, who left Game 3 with right side discomfort and hasn’t returned.

Springer took some swings in the batting cage on Wednesday and donned a helmet in the dugout at one point during the game.

But he was never called upon to pinch hit, and his availability for Friday remains uncertain.

The fact that Springer is still on the roster is encouraging, though. If the Blue Jays expected him to sit out the rest of the series, they would’ve already swapped him out for someone else.
