About Last Night
Football Team triumphs in Thursday Night thriller
NFL Week 2 got off to a great start for Pickswise Nation as the Giants covered the spread in their 30-29 loss to Washington and PropBetGuy’s best player prop on the game of over 44.5 Logan Thomas receiving yards also cashed. The Football Team (1-1) is +260 to win the NFC East with FanDuel Sportsbook, with the 0-2 Giants out to +750.
MLB Mega Parlay’s mega run continues
Our MLB mega parlays have been in red-hot form this week, cashing in 3 of the last 4 days! Last night’s had a reduced payout after the Rockies’ game was postponed, but Andrew Ortenberg’s selections of the Athetics -1.5 and Astros -1.5 still added up to a +298 winner!

Best Bet of the Day
Maryland Terrapins -7.5 vs Illinois Fighting Illini
1:10pm ET
The 1-2 Illini’s defense has really struggled this season, allowing more than 481 yards per contest and almost 34 points. The Terps (2-0) come into this one clicking on all cylinders following a 62-0 shutout of Howard, after defeating a solid West Virginia team in Week 1. Quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has started the season on a real tear. Check out our full preview of the game.
