About Last Night
Panthers pounce on Texans
Thursday Night Football saw our NFL team get Week 3 off to a great start with winning picks on the side and total as Carolina beat Houston 24-9. The Panthers moved to 3-0 and they are 55/1 with FanDuel Sportsbook for the Super Bowl, but an injury to running back Christian McCaffrey took the shine off the win. Check out Ricky Dimon’s analysis of what we saw on Thursday Night Football.
MLB Best Bets live up to their name
We went 2/2 on MLB Best Bets on Thursday with the Phillies -1.5 and Dodgers -1.5 both cashing. Elsewhere, the Chicago White Sox clinched the American League Central Division title for the first time in 13 years with a win in the first game of their doubleheader in Cleveland. The White Sox are +750 for the World Series with FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook.
