Giants vs. Dodgers SGP predictions Sept. 20: Bet on Schmitt, San Francisco in +280 ticket

Giants vs. Dodgers predictions

The San Francisco Giants look to get off the mat against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

The pregame narrative: Los Angeles has won the first two games of this series, and today’s pitching duel feels like a mismatch. So why am I backing San Francisco behind Kai-Wei Teng over L.A. and Tyler Glasnow?

Check out my Giants vs. Dodgers SGP predictions for Sept. 20, featuring a prop bet for Casey Schmitt.

Giants vs. Dodgers predictions

Parlay: Giants +2.5 | Under 10.5 runs | Schmitt to record 1+ hits (+280)

Giants +2.5 (-177): San Francisco can keep it close against Los Angeles today.

Teng gets the ball for the Giants, and on the surface, he’s been brutal this season. He enters this contest with a 6.41 ERA, and his team has lost five of his seven outings.

The advanced numbers, however, paint a much more appealing picture.

  • 3.30 FIP
  • 3.49 xERA
  • .217 aBA

Teng has been much better than his ERA suggests.

Glasnow has been excellent for L.A., combining a 3.06 ERA with a 3.89 FIP. Despite his success this season, this still isn’t a number he’s covering regularly.

The Dodgers have won by three-plus runs in just three of Glasnow’s 11 starts since returning in July from a shoulder injury.

More SGP picks

Under 10.5 runs (-225): I’m expecting both pitchers to deal on Saturday.

Teng has been much better than advertised, and he’s been especially strong away from Oracle Park. Opponents are only hitting .263 against Teng on the road, compared to .292 at home.

Additionally, the Dodgers have never faced Teng before. The unfamiliarity should work in the pitcher’s favour.

Glasnow just squared off against the Giants on September 14 and completely stifled their bats. The righty ceded just three hits and one run across 6.2 innings of work in the contest.

The under on this total has cashed in 10 of Glasnow’s last 11 starts.

Schmitt to record 1+ hits (-129): Lastly, I’m betting on a knock from Schmitt.

The Giants’ infielder isn’t doing anything impactful ahead of this contest (.220 AVG in September) and is actually hitless in his last six games.

But there is one big reason why I’m banking on him delivering today.

Schmitt is much better against right-handed pitchers than he is against lefties.

He’s batting a respectable .258 against righties compared to an abysmal .194 against southpaws.

The league average batting average this season is .246. I’ll take somebody at these odds who’s hitting slightly above that versus righties.

NFL Week 3 schedule, odds and betting lines: Matchups and top storylines

NFL Week 3 odds

The second week of the NFL season has come and gone, and now fans and bettors alike can turn their attention to Week 3.

The latest: The Green Bay Packers made another statement on Thursday Night Football, and now they’ll use the benefit of extra rest against the Cleveland Browns. Joe Burrow’s toe injury is a major storyline ahead of Week 3, as the Cincinnati Bengals battle the Minnesota Vikings next.

NFL Week 3 schedule notes

  • The Buffalo Bills scored a dominant win over the New York Jets in Week 2 and set their sights on another divisional foe, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 3. One situation to monitor is Josh Allen’s nose, as the QB briefly left Sunday’s contest with an apparent nose injury.
  • The Las Vegas Raiders are facing an uphill battle in Week 2. Not only are they operating on a short week after a late start on Monday Night Football, but they also have to visit the Washington Commanders, who played on Thursday Night Football.
  • Joe Burrow exited Sunday’s contest with a toe injury, needing help to get to the locker room. Backup QB Jake Browning struggled in the contest. He threw three interceptions, but did enough for his team to win, 34-30. Next, the Bengals visit the Vikings.
  • The Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens meet for an intriguing Monday Night Football matchup. Both squads lost in Week 1, but each responded with a blowout victory in Week 2. Detroit and Baltimore scored 30-plus points on Sunday, and fans should expect more fireworks in primetime.

Chargers vs. Raiders MNF Week 2 SGP predictions: Bet on Las Vegas, Geno Smith in +500 ticket

Chargers vs. Raiders predictions

The Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders wrap up Week 2 on Monday Night Football.

The pregame narrative: Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll have a storied coaching rivalry, and now both find themselves in the AFC West. Although it’s early, the winning team will sit in first place in the division. Which squad is worth backing in prime time?

Check out my Chargers vs. Raiders same-game parlay predictions for Week 2 below, featuring Geno Smith.

Chargers vs. Raiders SGP predictions

SGP: Raiders +3.5 | Over 46.5 points | Smith over 245.5 passing yards (+360)

Raiders +3.5 (-120): The Chargers swept the season series against the Raiders last year for the first time since 2018.

I expect Las Vegas to punch back at home on Monday Night Football.

The Raiders looked strong on the road against the New England Patriots in Week 1. Drake Maye was one of the most hyped players of the offseason, and Las Vegas held him in check.

Maye threw the ball 46 times for 287 yards (6.2 yards per attempt) with one touchdown and an interception. The defence also held the rushing attack to a puny 3.3 yards per carry.

The Chargers looked great in Week 1, too, knocking off the Kansas City Chiefs. While they were largely able to keep Patrick Mahomes in check, I’m skeptical they’ll be able to do the same with Smith (more on that later).

Monday Night Football SGP picks

Over 46.5 points (-110): This game could turn into a shootout.

Justin Herbert showed he’s ready to enter the MVP conversation in Week 1. He threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns while adding 32 yards on the ground.

Los Angeles’ wide receiver room looks as dangerous as it’s been during the Herbert era. Ladd McConkey is a proven stud, Keenan Allen looked at home in his return, and Quentin Johnston showcased the skills that made him a first-round pick.

Las Vegas, meanwhile, finished sixth among all teams in total yards in Week 1 (389.0). The Raiders can move the ball and should have success doing so against the Chargers.

Smith over 244.5 passing yards (-118): Here’s the pick that ties everything together.

Smith joining the Raiders was the most underrated QB move of the offseason.

SettingGamesPYDS/GTD/GINT/GY/A
Outdoors79197.5.95.857.06
Dome10263.22.1.308.46

The numbers are staggering.

And after years of playing outdoors in Seattle, Smith now gets to play half his games indoors at Allegiant Stadium. 

Additionally, he looked very comfortable with his new receiver crew against the Patriots. Smith demonstrated a real connection with Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers, getting both to 90-plus receiving yards in a game where he threw for 362 yards.

The Chargers allowed Mahomes to throw for 258 yards in Week 1. Expect L.A. to give up another lofty passing total in Week 2.

Falcons vs. Vikings Week 2 SNF TD picks: Bet on Drake London, Justin Jefferson to score

Falcons vs. Vikings TD picks

The Minnesota Vikings are back in prime time for a Week 2 date with the Atlanta Falcons.

The pregame narrative: The last time J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr. squared off, it was for a national title. Now, the two lead their teams into battle on Sunday Night Football. Each QB’s top receiver, Drake London and Justin Jefferson, are quality options to find the end zone.

Check out our top Falcons vs. Vikings SNF TD picks, including a wager for Tyler Allgeier.

Falcons vs. Vikings TD picks: Week 2

Best Bet: London to score a TD (+150)

Everything about London’s performance from last week has me making this my best bet.

And that’s saying something since he didn’t even score.

Atlanta’s top wide receiver was as inefficient as you can be for a receiver with 15 targets. London finished the game with five catches for 55 yards and left the game early due to a shoulder injury.

So why am I in again?

It’s because at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, London is an elite red-zone option. He was one of three NFL wideouts to be targeted twice inside the five last week, according to Rotowire.

He nearly brought down one of those targets, but dropped the ball as he hit the ground.

Penix showed an affinity for targeting his top receiver last year that has carried into this campaign. London has now totalled 13-plus targets in three of Penix’s four career starts.

London has caught two touchdowns from Penix thus far, and I’m betting that No. 3 comes on Sunday night.

Ket Stat: London’s 15 targets were second among all NFL players in Week 1.

Sunday Night Football TD picks

Jefferson to score a TD (-112): This is a chalky pick, but the reasoning for it is sound.

McCarthy is still learning the ropes in the NFL. He realized in Week 1 that if he wants to be successful, he needs to target Jefferson.

The second-year QB only threw the ball 20 times in a win over the Chicago Bears, but seven of those looks went to Jefferson.

Two of those attempts were inside the 20, and one of them was for a score.

As McCarthy continues to figure out the NFL, expect him to do so while learning heavily on his best option.

Allgeier to score a TD (+320): Bijan Robinson fantasy managers stay mad at Allgeier. 

The backup running back remains heavily involved in Atlanta’s offence with no signs of slowing down. He totalled 10 carries in Week 1 to Robinson’s 12.

Most importantly, for this prop, the work has been evenly split near the goal line.

Robinson and Allgeier both received two carries inside the 10-yard line.

That makes Allgeier a screaming value.

Yankees vs. Red Sox Sunday Night Baseball picks: Bet on Boston to win behind Garrett Crochet

Yankees vs. Red Sox picks

The New York Yankees can earn a seismic three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball.

The pregame narrative: The Red Sox’s pennant hopes are reeling. Boston needs a win under the lights of Sunday Night Baseball to keep pace in the AL East. Garrett Crochet comes to the rescue in a game where I expect both starting pitchers to shine.

Check out my Red Sox vs. Yankees picks, featuring a prop bet on Will Warren.

Yankees vs. Red Sox picks

Best Bet: Warren over 4.5 strikeouts (-150)

Boston is my preferred side in this game, but there’s unignorable value on this prop.

Warren is topping this line more often than not. He’s totalled five-plus strikeouts in 18 of his 30 appearances (60%).

The matchup also makes this a great opportunity to back this wager.

The Red Sox are a swing-happy club. They’re averaging the seventh-most strikeouts per game this season (8.81), and are averaging nine strikeouts per outing across their last three.

Warren has battled the Red Sox twice this year, totalling nine strikeouts. With a lot of swing-and-miss in Boston’s bats recently, I’ll take the over on Warren in this market.

Key stat: Warren has a 66th-percentile strikeout percentage this season (24.7), according to Baseball Savant.

Best MLB pick

Red Sox -1.5 (+137): Crochet getting the start really makes a difference for Boston.

The Red Sox are 20-9 in Crochet’s appearances this year, and they’re covering this spread at an impressive clip.

Boston has won by two-plus runs in 16 of Crochet’s 29 outings this season (55.2%).

He’s been excellent against the Yankees specifically. Crochet has a 2.95 ERA and 27 strikeouts in three starts against New York. The Red Sox covered this spread in two of those games.

Yankees under 3.5 runs (-138): New York’s offence has been effective in two games against Boston (nine runs), but it isn’t lighting the world on fire lately.

In fact, the Yankees have gone under on this prop in four of their last eight games.

The Crochet factor also looms large. He’s done very well against New York’s hitters, earning a 36.7% strikeout percentage while keeping its hitters to a .224 batting average in 90 plate appearances.

The Yankees have only mustered two runs in their last two games versus Crochet.

NFL Week 2 schedule, odds and betting lines: Matchups and top storylines

NFL Week 2 schedule

Week 1 delivered plenty of excitement for fans and bettors, and now the stage is set for an excellent NFL Week 2.

The latest: The Philadelphia Eagles started their title defence with a win over the Dallas Cowboys. Now, they hit the road to battle the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch. Elsewhere, the week closes out with a Monday Night Football doubleheader.

Check out the latest NFL Week 2 schedule and betting lines below.

NFL Week 2 schedule notes

  • The Eagles took care of business to open the NFL season, besting the Cowboys 24-20. They battle a Chiefs squad that’s coming off a divisional loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Star wide receiver Xavier Worthy was injured early in the contest. If he’s out for Week 2, Kansas City will enter with a thin wide receiver room.
  • The Miami Dolphins are reeling after a terrible showing against the Indianapolis Colts. Tua Tagovailoa struggled, Jaylen Waddle exited with an injury (and returned), and Tyreek Hill was visibly frustrated on the sideline. They now host the New England Patriots.
  • All eyes will be on the Los Angeles Chargers again in Week 2. After beating the Chiefs in primetime, they visit the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas is coming off a road win against the New England Patriots in Geno Smith’s debut at quarterback.
  • Daniel Jones had one of the marquee performances of Week 1. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback threw for 272 yards and a touchdown while adding 26 yards and two scores on the ground. They’ll face a bit of a tougher test in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos.
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers won an entertaining battle, 34-32, against the New York Jets. Aaron Rodgers looked good in his debut, throwing for 244 yards and four touchdowns in the victory. Now, they host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.
  • Josh Allen authored an epic comeback against the Baltimore Ravens, and now he hits the road for a divisional battle against the Jets. Buffalo is 0-3 ATS and 1-2 SU in its last two games at MetLife Stadium.

Ravens vs. Bills SNF Week 1 TD picks: Bet on Keon Coleman to score at +270

Ravens vs. Bills TD picks

The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills meet for a game that has offence written all over it.

The pregame narrative: No game has a higher points total than this one (50.5). Bettors should expect plenty of scoring, making this a great contest for targeting touchdown plays.

Check out my top Ravens vs. Bills Week 1 TD picks, featuring Mark Andrews and Keon Coleman.

Ravens vs. Bills TD picks: Week 1

Best Bet: Andrews anytime TD (+125)

This wager isn’t necessarily backed by irrefutable statistical evidence, but it’s Week 1. We don’t have any relevant info to go with just yet.

Andrews had the worst game of his career the last time he was in Buffalo. The veteran tight end had an untimely fumble and dropped a crucial two-point conversion in the dying minutes of Baltimore’s divisional round loss, which ultimately cost his team the game.

Andrews has long been Jackson’s go-to option, though, and I’m sure he’ll want to pick his teammate up.

Andrews’ per-game production took a hit last season as he averaged his lowest yards per game since his rookie year (39.6). 

But it wasn’t all bad for Andrews.

He set a new single-season high for touchdowns (11) and saw 25% of his team’s red-zone targets, according to Rotowire.

With Isaiah Likely out, look for Jackson to force it to Andrews.

Key stat: Andrews has scored a TD in each of his last six regular-season games.

Sunday Night Football TD picks

Coleman anytime TD (+200): It’s not difficult to see where Coleman separates himself from the rest of Buffalo’s receiver room.

The 6-foot-4 wide receiver towers over the rest and is built to thrive in the red zone.

Even in a rookie season where he failed to meet expectations, Coleman was a factor in close. The 2024 second-round pick led all Bills wide receivers with 11 red-zone targets.

Coleman dealt with injuries in his first campaign but appears to be ready to rock. He and Josh Allen should be in sync in year two.

Charlie Kolar anytime TD (+550): This one is a bit of a long shot, but hear me out.

Isaiah Likely is out, and that’s a big deal for the Ravens.

Baltimore utilized 12 personnel on 31% of its plays last season, according to SumerSports. That was the fifth-most in the NFL.

While the Ravens will likely lean on it less in this contest with Likely out, they won’t completely shy away from it.

At 6-foot-7, Kolar is a hulking presence at tight end. He’s also a talented athlete.

Kolar ran a 79th percentile 40-yard dash (4.67 seconds) and totalled over 2,000 receiving yards across four years at Iowa State.

He’ll see a significant uptick in opportunity, and is worth backing at this price.
