Welcome to another tremendous Tuesday of sports. NFL Week 1 finished with another close game last night and Week 2’s exciting opener between the Chiefs and Chargers is just two days away. Today we have a huge MLB slate and Champions League soccer to enjoy, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
NFL Best Bets go 4-0 in Week 1
The Seahawks beat the Broncos by 1 point in Russell Wilson’s return to Seattle, but Pickswise followers were not sweating after Clevta advised taking the Seahawks +6.5 as a 3-star play. That MNF win gave us a 4-0 sweep on Week 1 Best Bets, so be sure to look out for our Week 2 picks. The Broncos’ 17-16 loss saw their Super Bowl odds pushed out to +2200 by FanDuel Sportsbook, with the Seahawks at +18000.
MLB mega parlay cashes for second straight day
We cashed Sunday’s MLB mega parlay at +909 odds, and we went back-t0-back with a +804 win on Monday! Today’s mega parlay picks are already available as we go for a hat-trick of big payouts, so why not take a look? Mike Trout homered in his 7th straight game, but the Angels lost 5-4 to the Guardians. The Blue Jays beat the Rays 3-2 in a key AL East game, the Cubs upset the Mets 5-2 and the Braves were beaten 3-2 by the Giants.

There are 17 games to enjoy today, with the Pirates and Reds and the Rays and Blue Jays both playing doubleheaders. Gerrit Cole is set to start for the Yankees against the Red Sox at 7:10 pm ET on TBS. Check out all of today’s MLB predictions.
Big games in the Champions League

Best Bet of the Day
UCL: Barcelona or tie double chance vs Bayern Munich
3:00 pm ET, Paramount+
Barcelona lost both of the meetings with Bayern Munich in the Champions League last season by 3-0 scorelines, but the Catalan giants are improving under club legend Xavi and they could keep things tighter when the teams clash in Germany today. All eyes will be on Robert Lewandowski, who moved from Bayern to Barca this summer and has made an immediate impact at Camp Nou, scoring 6 times in 5 La Liga games. The prolific Pole scored a hat-trick on matchday one of the Champions League as Barcelona blew apart Viktoria Plzen 5-1 and the Spanish club can at least avoid defeat against Bayern Munich, which has been held to 3 straight ties in the Bundesliga. Read our full Bayern Munich vs Barcelona predictions.
