About Last Night
MLB mega parlay cashes at +915 odds
The best way to head into the weekend is on the back of a +915 odds MLB mega parlay win! Caleb Wilfinger was on the money with his picks of the Braves and Dodgers on the -1.5 run lines and the Rangers ML. The Pickswise team overall went 9-6 on ML/RL picks and 8-6-1 on totals. The Braves and Mets both won, but the Yankees lost 7-6 to the Brewers.
Smart start to NCAAF Week 3
We went 3-1 with our college football picks on Friday night, hitting both our totals plays and Florida State covering the spread against Louisville in a 35-31 win, but Air Force was upset by Wyoming as a 15-point favorite.

Best Bet of the Day
CFB: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers +7 over Indiana Hoosiers
12:00 pm ET, BTN
Indiana is in a major look-ahead spot, with a date at Cincinnati next week, while the Hilltoppers are coming off a bye week and they shouldn’t be looking ahead to lowly FIU next week. While the new pieces have fitted pretty nicely for Western Kentucky, the same can’t be said for the Hoosiers. Indiana brought in over a dozen new players from the transfer portal, including quarterback Connor Bazelak from Missouri. The Hoosiers’ offense is a work in progress, while their defense has underwhelmed thus far. This meeting was decided by 2 points last season, and that was before Indiana lost its quarterback, plus a ton of pieces on defense. Don’t be surprised if Western Kentucky pulls the outright upset. Read our full Western Kentucky vs Indiana predictions.
