College Football continues

MLB rolls on
We’re getting closer and closer to the end of the season, and it’s crunch time for a lot of teams looking to make it into the playoffs. We’ve got nine games to look forward to today, and we’ll have picks for all of them right here.

Best Bet of the Day

New York Giants vs Washington Football Team Under 41 points
8:20pm ET, NFL Network

It’s Thursday Night Football, but don’t expect a shootout between the Giants and Washington in this all-NFC East clash. The Giants’ offensive line looks woeful and is likely to struggle against Washington’s ferocious pass-rush, while Taylor Heinicke may struggle to light it up on his first start given he is playing on a short week. The under has cashed in New York’s last nine games and is 10-1 in Washington’s last 11 played on grass. Check out our full preview of Giants vs Football Team.

Stat of the Day

The Padres have lost five of their last six games and 13 of their last 20 games, with their offense holding a .196 batting average and a .284 on-base percentage in the last 30 days — which are both the worst marks in the league.
