Bengals at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 27, Bengals 23

Moneyline

BET A HALF UNIT ON TITANS (+120).

Tennessee has just found ways to win games and I expect that to happen again in Week 12. Getting the Titans at plus odds makes them an enticing wager in this contest.

Against the spread

Considering that I took Tennessee to win, TITANS +2.5 (-102) is where I’m going for another HALF-UNIT wager. The Titans will lean on RB Derrick Henry Sunday and it remains to be seen if the Bengals can slow him down.

The Titans are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Cincinnati and Tennessee.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-112) is where I’m leaning, especially if the Bengals get Chase back on the field. Despite the Titans being a team that leans on their ground game with Henry, they’ve gotten some chunk plays in recent weeks.

The Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 games for the Bengals. The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Bengals and the Titans when the game is in Tennessee.

Auburn at Alabama odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Auburn at Alabama odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Auburn Tigers (5-6, 2-5 SEC) will be in Tuscaloosa for a challenge against the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide (9-2, 5-2) for the latest edition of the Iron Bowl Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Auburn vs. Alabama odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

When it comes to the Iron Bowl, you throw out the records. Considered one of the best rivalries in college football, Auburn and Alabama want to crush the other into oblivion, especially this one week of the year.

In 2021, Auburn almost knocked Alabama from a playoff spot but came up short in a 4-overtime, 24-22 loss. Most remember the “kick 6” in 2013 when Auburn CB Chris Davis returned an Alabama missed 57-yard field-goal attempt for a touchdown on the final play of a 34-28 Tigers victory. Davis caught the ball in front of the goal posts, but it was considered a 100-yard return according to NCAA rules. This game is always contentious and rarely does it disappoint those who watch.

Saturday, Alabama hopes to keep its slim playoff chance alive. While the Tide are No. 7 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports, they’re also 7th in the College Football Playoff Rankings. They have to jump 3 teams to get into the desired top 4 for the playoffs.

Auburn is looking to win one for interim coach — former player and fan favorite — Cadillac Williams, who moved into the position from running backs coach when Bryan Harsin was fired in late October after a 3-5 start. Williams has brought a sense of confidence and determination to the Tigers, something which was severely lacking in recent years. Unfortunately for Auburn fans, this confidence may not be enough vs. Alabama with the Tigers down several offensive linemen and a defense which has struggled all season.

Auburn at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 33, Auburn 26

Moneyline

PASS.

Alabama (-2000) is far too expensive of a ML favorite to wager on. Auburn (+950) offers excellent value, and I’m willing to put $10 on it for fun — it would profit $95 — but it’s not likely to hit. The smarter bets would be on the spread or total in this game.

Against the spread

BET AUBURN +22.5 (-110).

No matter how good or bad these teams are, this game is a challenge. It leads to pride in the state and both teams want to beat the other.

In 2021, as 20.5-point underdogs, the Tigers took the eventual national runner-up Crimson Tide to 4 overtimes before a decision not to go for a 2-point conversion cost the Tigers a chance at victory.

While this game may not be as thrilling as 2021, Auburn will play hard for coach Williams and will keep this one closer than the experts think. AUBURN +22.5 (-110) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET OVER 49.5 (-111)

In 3 of the last 5 head-to-head meeting, this total would have hit. Last season’s 24-22 game is 1 of the 2 which would not despite going to 4 overtimes.

But both teams are different this season. The normally stout Alabama defense is lacking bite this season and Auburn, due to bad recruiting and injury, lacks a strong defense, too.

QB Bryce Young and DE Will Anderson, both juniors, are likely playing their final game at Alabama. Without a playoff berth, it’s possible both sit out a bowl game. While not seniors, both will want to star in their final dances at Tuscaloosa in front of the home fans.

Alabama scoring in the 30’s to 40’s is not out of the question. Auburn is less of a certainty to score, but with the emotion in this game, I’m going to venture that the Tigers will keep up for a while.

Give me OVER 49.5 (-111) to hit in this one.

Nuggets at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 105, Nuggets 103

Moneyline

The Clippers have won 3 of their last 4 games, but were blown out by the Warriors on Wednesday.

The Nuggets are 3-4 in their last 7 games and are 7-5 on the road.

The Clippers have the No. 3 defense in the league, allowing only 106.8 points per game. They also have the lowest-scoring offense in the league, but the Nuggets give up 114.5 per game. Without George or Leonard, they put up 121 on the Jazz on Monday.

The Clippers have the size to compete against Jokic and both Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell can score enough to keep the Clippers afloat.

I like the Clippers for the upset.

BET CLIPPERS (-140).

Against the spread

The Nuggets are 8-10 ATS compared to the Clippers’ 9-10 ATS.

Denver is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 while the Clippers are 4-2 ATS in their last 6.

That said, if you like the Clippers to win outright, stay with the moneyline to make more money.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Under is 4-0 in the Nuggets’ last 4 games following an ATS win.

The Under has hit in 4 of the Nuggets’ last 5 overall.

BET UNDER 217.5 (-105).

Portland Trail Blazers at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Portland Trail Blazers at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Portland Trail Blazers (10-8) and New York Knicks (9-9) meet Friday at Madison Square Garden. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Trail Blazers vs. Knicks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Trail Blazers failed to cover the spread as 6.5-point underdogs in a 114-96 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday. The failed cover was Portland’s 2nd consecutive game without G Damian Lillard (calf), the 1st being a cover as a 9.5-point underdog in a 119-111 loss at the Milwaukee Bucks Monday.

The Trail Blazers are 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 road games.

The Knicks won outright as 1.5-point underdogs in a 129-119 victory at the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday. New York’s went 3-2 ATS during its 5-game road trip.

New York is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games following a moneyline win.

Trail Blazers at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 106, Trail Blazers 105

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-160) may be able to pull out the win, but there is no need to bet on them at such a high price. Trail Blazers G Anfernee Simons (22.8 points per game) and F Jerami Grant (19.7) should be able to score enough in Lillard’s absence to give Portland a shot at winning.

Against the spread

BET TRAIL BLAZERS +3.5 (-110).

The Knicks went 3-2 straight up on their 5-game road trip and now face a team that they routed 128-98 in the last head-to-head meeting March 16. The Knicks should be content finishing above .500 on their road trip and may underestimate the Trail Blazers who just got blown out at Cleveland.

I expect Portland to come out extra focused and take advantage of a New York team that should struggle to match the Trail Blazers’ urgency early on.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 217.5 (-110).

The Knicks have been playing in low-scoring matchups lately as the Under is 4-1 in their last 5 games. With the exception of Monday’s high-scoring affair in Oklahoma City, New York averaged just 105 points per game on its recent road trip.

Portland is averaging just 103.5 points in its last 2 games without Lillard, and I expect these offenses to continue struggling and help the Under hit Friday.

Jazz at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Jazz 115

Moneyline

The Warriors have been fantastic at home (8-1) and awful on the road (1-9). They have won their last 7 at home.

The Jazz are 6-6 on the road and have lost 3 of their last 4 away from home.

But with the moneyline priced the way it is, it doesn’t make sense to bet the Warriors.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Warriors have covered the spread in their last 4 home games and they are healthy.

The Jazz are 3-3 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Both teams score at a high clip — the Jazz average 117.4 ppg; the Warriors’ 116.2 ppg. — and they both give up a lot of points — the Warriors allow 117.4 ppg while the Jazz give up 115.1.

This will surely be a high-scoring, close game.

BET JAZZ +7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The projected total is too high. Only 2 of the Warriors’ last 10 games have hit 240 total points. Four of the Jazz’ last 10 have hit 240 or more.

Only 1 meeting of the last 10 between the 2 teams has hit 240.

2022 World Cup: USA vs. England best prop bets

Analyzing the USMNT vs. England matchup and offering up expert World Cup picks and predictions on the top prop bets.

The USA Men’s National Team (0 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) faces a huge challenge Friday when it plays England (1-0-0) in the final World Cup game of the day at Al Bayt Stadium. Kickoff for the Group B match is set for 2 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s prop bet lines around the England vs. USA odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England is coming off a 6-2 win over Iran in its opening match. Only M Bukayo Saka scored multiple goals for the winning side.

It was an utterly dominant performance from England, controlling possession for 79% of the match. F Harry Kane did injure his ankle, so there could be some unknown whether he is 100% for this match. England did announce he was available to play.

The USA, on the other hand, drew Wales 1-1. It was a disappointing effort after a thrilling first-half goal put the Americans on top of the F Gareth Bale-led side.

The US subbed on F Jordan Morris instead of M Gio Reyna, which led to some controversy. Nonetheless, the USMNT drew despite having 59% possession.

Best USA vs. England prop bets

Provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:54 a.m. ET.

England Phil Foden: ANYTIME GOAL (+245)

England might be the deepest attacking team in the entire tournament. If there is one thing I expect from England, it’s that it can attack with pace.

F Phil Foden, who played for Man City — arguably the best club in the world — can bring that and only played 19 minutes against Iran, subbing on in the 71st.

Foden had 7 goals in 11 starts and 14 matches played for City this season. He can finish at a high level, and he should get plenty of opportunities against the US.

Total corners: OVER 9.5 (+110)

England had 8 corners against Iran, and it should bring a similar pace to this game. Players like F Raheem Sterling and Foden are going to be able to push the wingbacks for the US.

However, the counter is true as well. The US has talented wings and should be playing Reyna, who is among its best attacking players.

With F Christian Pulisic undoubtedly leading the way, the ball should get to the endline often. These teams combined for 14 corners in the first round of group stage games, and it should be a similar style of play here.

– This line was +230 Thursday, so it came down just a little bit.

Check out Pro Soccer Wire: For the American soccer fan, USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s website provides a fresh look at the beautiful game.

England Raheem Sterling: 1ST GOALSCORER (+550)

Playing for Chelsea after a 7-year stint with City, Sterling had just 3 goals in 11 starts.

He should again draw the start for England, and if Kane isn’t at 100% in this match, the importance of Sterling in the attack becomes that much more emphasized.

Sterling had 1 goal in the 1st match and had 2 goals in 7 matches during the World Cup qualifiers. One of the key players that typically has the ball at his feet, this is a good value for him to get his side on the board first.

2022 World Cup: France vs. Denmark odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s France vs. Denmark odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

France (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) takes on Denmark (0-0-1) in a Group D group stage match on Saturday with kickoff at Stadium 974 set for 11 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the France vs. Denmark odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

France put on an absolutely dominating performance over Australia in Tuesday’s 4-1 victory. France has an ultra-deep lineup and arguably the best player in the tournament in F Kylian Mbappe.

Other household names like F Ousmane Dembele and F Antoine Griezmann will likely take the field for France. We might see F Oliver Giroud break Frances’s all-time scoring record; he’s tied with Thierry Henry at 51 goals.

Denmark has top-tier talent like F Andreas Christiansen, M Christian Eriksen, and M Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg playing in the English Premier League and La Liga.

Denmark drew their first match with Tunisia 0-0 in which they allowed more shots (13) than they took (11). Nonetheless, this Denmark side is typically seen as a dark horse and should be difficult to defeat.

Prediction

France 2, Denmark 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN FRANCE (-130).

France just looked too good against Australia to bet against. With France being the 4th-ranked team in FIFA’s world rankings, this puts them in the driver’s seat with heavy odds.

However, the value for France makes sense and is playable. Considering Tunisia had more shots than Denmark, France should be able to get loose and make them pay.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+110).

Overall, Denmark does have a strong team (10th in FIFA rankings) and has the offensive weapons to put the ball in the back of the net. They were able to get double-digit shots on Tuesday, but just were not able to put any in the back of the net.

France has the talent up top to score 2 or 3 with ease and could have piled it onto Australia. Denmark went Over 2.5 in 5 of 8 games in 2022 prior to the World Cup.

Iowa State at TCU odds, picks, and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’sIowa State at TCU odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Iowa State Cyclones (4-7, 1-7 Big 12) are in Forth Worth to take on the No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs (11-0, 8-0) Saturday. Kickoff from Amon G. Carter Stadium is at 4 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Iowa State vs. TCU odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports.

TCU, despite already having a berth in the Big 12 title game clinched, comes into this game with far more at stake. A win in this game and a win next week will lock up a playoff berth for a Horned Frogs team that was 28-1 before the season began to win the conference. Coach Sonny Dykes has this team buy into a mission and QB Max Duggan is leading the charge.

Duggan and RB Kendre Miller have continued to pace a team with a fighting instinct to continually come back from deficits to pull out improbable victories. This continued Saturday with a 22-second field goal drill at the end of regulation to pick up a 29-28 victory over Baylor. What looked frantic from afar was all part of a practiced plan for TCU. It made for exciting football for sure.

Iowa State has reached heights it has never known under coach Matt Campbell. While the defense is still good this season (16.5 points allowed per game, 8th nationally), the offense has struggled without last year’s stars, QB Brock Purdy and RB Breece Hall. The duo was drafted into the NFL after the 2021 season.

Averaging 20.7 points per game, the Cyclones will have a challenging time keeping up with TCU who has averaged 39.5 points overall.

Iowa State at TCU picks and predictions

Prediction

TCU 24, Iowa State 20

Moneyline

PASS.

TCU (-390) is not worth the juice, despite the fact that it needs this game and will win. Spending almost 4 times your potential profit is not good value on a standalone wager, but this is a solid play to add to a parlay.

Against the spread

BET IOWA STATE +9.5 (-105).

This is just too many points in a game that will not have a lot of scoring involved.

TCU will win, but with the type of defense the Cyclones play, I do not see a large score coming from either side. Iowa State will continue to use the run game and force TCU to have fewer drives and therefore, fewer chances to score.

I do not see this game getting out of hand and I’ll take 9.5 points with the underdog. IOWA STATE +9.5 (-105) is my FAVORITE PLAY.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 47 (-107).

Iowa State can muddy up games with the best of them and are 2-9 to the Under; TCU games are only 6-5 to the Over.

Iowa State will slow this game to a snail’s pace, and it will not allow TCU will Duggan and Miller to run up points. Iowa State plays good run defense while the Horned Frogs want to use Miller to get through this game and onto the Big 12 title game. This will be a quick one. A lot of rushing and not a lot of points are in play in Fort Worth.

2022 World Cup: England vs. USA odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s England vs. USA odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Wrapping up Friday’s World Cup action in Group B, England (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) will battle the USA (0-0-1) at Al Bayt Stadium set. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the England vs. USA odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England absolutely spanked Iran in its World Cup opener 6-2. England M Bukayo Saka led the scoring with 2 goals, referred to as a “brace” in soccer speak.

England had 79% of possession and 5 more shots (4 more shots on target). On a sour note for the England, F Harry Kane injured his ankle vs. Iran. He will be availalbe for the USA match, but the concern is if he will be 100%.

USA had an unsatisfying 1-1 draw with the F Gareth Bale-led Wales. US score 1st, early in the 1st half, but a late bad foul in the box by D Walker Zimmerman led to a penalty kick goal by Bale.

The Americans shockingly did not play M Gio Reyna, who will be 100% healthy and likely to start Friday. USA actually had 2 fewer shots on goal and 1 less shot on target vs. Wales despite having 59% of the possession.

Prediction

England 2, USA 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no value here. There wasn’t enough value Wednesday afternoon when England was favored at -170, and there’s definitely no value with the line up to -205 Friday before kickoff.

If I had to choose something, it would be the Draw (+350). USA played better than the numbers look against Wales, and England got on a role vs. Iran. What was impressive for the Americans, was their ability to limit quality Welsh chances.

Unlike Iran, USA has speed on the defensive edges in D Sergino Dest and D Antonee Robinson to help tame what England’s Saka and F Raheem Sterling are capable of doing.

It would be nice to profit 6.2 times an initial bet on the USMNT (+620), but I don’t see it happening. Still, if you want to gamble and win on a decent long shot … it would be fun to brag about cashing a USA (+620) ticket.

The unknown regarding Kane’s injury also makes the draw enticing. I would still PASS though with just a slight lean to the Draw (+350).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-120).

England looked unstoppable against Iran, and while the point still stands for Dest and Robinson, both received a full dose of work against Wales and could have tired legs.

The quality on the England side is difficult to overlook. England had 13 shots and put 7 on target. It controlled possession and looked incredible with its finishing. I expect a similar result.

England did, however, give up 2 goals to Iran, and the USA attack, led by Chelsea F Christian Pulisic, should be even more lethal. If the USMNT can get at least 3 shots on target, expect 1 to be converted.

The pace of this game, especially with the excitement on both ends, should produce goals as well. Each team was over 80% in passing accuracy, so they should be able to breakthrough backlines with that efficiency.

2022 World Cup: Poland vs. Saudi Arabia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Poland vs. Saudi Arabia odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Poland (0 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) will face Saudi Arabia (1-0-0) on Saturday in a Group C group stage match. Kickoff at the Education City Stadium is set for 8 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Poland vs. Saudi Arabia odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Saudi Arabia needs no introduction after they stunned Argentina 2-1 at Lusail Stadium on Tuesday. They had around half the stats that Argentina had, but looked like they had double the passion to win that fixture.

This is not a team we want to sleep on, seeing as they may have one of the most passionate fanbases of the tournament and this heart and hunger, despite a lack of top-tier talent, could very well carry them out of the group stage.

For Poland, F Robert Lewandowski will be of particular interest to Saudi Arabia, as he’s been dynamic for Barcelona this season after a lengthy career with Bayern Munich. M Piotr Zielinski is also a player on the rise.

Mexico had almost double the shots (11-6) and double the shots on target (4-2) as Poland in their 0-0 draw in Tuesday’s opener. This could be a tougher battle for Poland than many may think despite them being 26th in FIFA rankings. Saudi Arabia checks in at No. 51.

Prediction

Saudi Arabia 1, Poland 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+275).

Saudi Arabia is not projected to win this match in the slightest, but they had an even smaller chance to beat Argentina, and here we are.

This will be a battle regardless. Saudi looked quick enough and Poland looked clumsy enough to give the (+275) Draw value, but ultimately, it won’t be the best play in this game.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-135).

Poland will be rather frustrated trying to gain possession given how quick and composed the Saudis looked on Tuesday.

We have seen Under 2.5 goals in 5 straight matches for Poland across all competitions, including a 1-0 win over Chile 1-0 in an international friendly on Nov. 16. Even though their opponent is not a talented squad, we cannot count out the fact that this could be the new Saudi Arabia.

Poland just didn’t produce against Mexico, and it’s hard to trust them now.
