Here at Pickswise, we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from FanDuel Sportsbook and PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Pittsburgh Panthers and Penn State Nittany Lions to both win – Boosted from +110 to +125 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This parlay will need 2 college football teams to open their seasons with wins tonight. The Pittsburgh Panthers will take on the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Penn State Nittany Lions will take on the Purdue Boilermakers. Our experts do like the Mountaineers to cover against the Panthers, but a Pittsburgh win still looks to be the most likely result. As for the Nittany Lions, our experts would lean to a win and cover over the Boilermakers, who have had a rough couple of seasons, therefore backing this parlay looks to be worth a play on Thursday night.

Rafael Devers to hit a home run – Boosted from +375 to +410 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Rafael Devers to hit a home run tonight against the Texas Rangers. Devers is batting .287 on the season and he has been one of the bright spots for the Red Sox in what has been a disappointing season. Devers has 25 home runs this season, but had just 3 in the month of August.

Boston will be facing Glenn Otto tonight for the Rangers, who has allowed 13 home runs this season. He has allowed 3 home runs in his last 5 starts, and Devers has 1 home run against Otto in 3 career at-bats against him. The Red Sox playoff hopes might be dwindling by the game, but Devers continues to produce at the plate. Otto has not been very good this season, therefore, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

West Virginia Mountaineers to Cover +7.5 vs Pittsburgh Panthers – Boosted from -110 to +125 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need the West Virginia Mountaineers to cover +7.5 against the Pittsburgh Panthers on Thursday night. The Mountaineers added JT Daniels at quarterback over the offseason who is the former USC and UGA quarterback. As for Pittsburgh, they will try to replace Kenny Pickett, who was drafted to the NFL this past Spring. The Panthers will replace Pickett with former USC quarterback, Kedon Slovis. Even though this could be a solid replacement, it might take at least a game for the offense to gel, which is likely to allow the Mountaineers to keep this game close. Our experts do like the Mountaineers to cover against the Panthers, so backing this prop at plus money looks to be worth a play.
