The Miami Dolphins (1-0) visit the New England Patriots (0-1) on Sunday Night Football in Week 2 NFL action. Kickoff from Gillette Stadium is at 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we look at Dolphins vs. Patriots odds from BetMGM Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire’s NFL picks and predictions.

The Dolphins picked up a 36-34 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, winning outright as 3-point underdogs as the Over (50.5) cashed. Miami trailed in the final 2 minutes of the game before QB Tua Tagovailoa connected with WR Tyreek Hill on a 4-yard touchdown pass to secure the victory.

Tagovailoa finished the game with 466 yards, 3 TDs and 1 interception. Hill paced the receiving corps with 215 yards and 2 scores on 11 catches.

The Patriots came up short in a 25-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in their opener Sunday. New England failed to cover as a 3.5-point underdog as the Over (43.5) connected. The Eagles jumped out to a 16-0 lead in the 1st quarter, capitalizing on a pick-6 and a fumble recovery that turned into a touchdown, before the Pats battled back. New England had 2 opportunities to take the lead late in the 4th quarter, but turned the ball over on downs both times.

QB Mac Jones was 35-of-54 passing for 316 yards, 3 TDs and 1 interception in his first game with new offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien. WR Kendrick Bourne and RB Rhamondre Stevenson both finished with a team-high 64 receiving yards, while Bourne found the endzone twice.

Chicago Cubs at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Chicago Cubs at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Cubs (77-67) and Colorado Rockies (51-91) open up a 3-game set Monday. First pitch from Coors Field is set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cubs vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: first meeting; Colorado won 4 of 7 meetings in 2022

The Cubs have been hot over the past month to climb back into the NL Central race and currently have a hold of the 2nd NL Wild Card spot. The Cubbies had gone 14-5 over a 19-game stretch prior to dropping 3 of 4 games to the Arizona Diamondbacks over the weekend, avoiding the sweep with a 5-2 victory Sunday.

The Rockies have lost 16 of their last 19 games and have by far the worst record in the National League. Colorado was officially eliminated from postseason contention over the weekend as it was swept in a 3-game set at the San Francisco Giants, although the writing has been on the wall for a while in reality.

Cubs at Rockies projected starters

LHP Jordan Wicks vs. LHP Kyle Freeland

Wicks (3-0, 2.16 ERA) makes his 4th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 through 16 2/3 IP.

Last start: Win, 6 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 9 H, 0 BB, 1 K in 8-2 home winvs. Giants Wednesday
2023 road stats: 2-0, 10 IP, 2 ER, 4 BB, 12 K in 2 start
Went 7-0 with a 3.55 ERA, 3.2 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 in 91 1/3 IP across 20 minor league starts this season (13 at Double-A, 7 at Triple-A)

Freeland (6-14, 5.09 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.47 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 5.6 K/9 through 146 2/3 IP.

Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 3 BB, 2 K in 3-2 road victory at Diamondbacks Tuesday
2023 home stats: 4-5, 5.05 ERA (73 IP, 41 ER) with 7.9 K/9 in 14 starts
Career vs. Cubs: 1-3, 5.01 ERA (23 1/3 IP, 13 ER) in 4 starts, the last of which was in 2022

Cubs at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Cubs 7, Rockies 5

Moneyline

It has been a bumpy ride for Freeland over the past 3 months as he has registered a 6.37 ERA and 2.0 HR/9 over his last 13 starts. He’ll have his hands full against a tough Cubs offense, but this price is a little steep. PASS on the nearly 2:1 odds and look for value elsewhere.

Run line/Against the spread

Freeland’s soft skills leave him susceptible to blowups. Wicks hasn’t been dominant during his brief time in the majors and he’s pitching in a tough environment, but the Rockies rank dead last with a 66 wRC+ vs. left-handed pitching.

The Rockies are reeling and 9 of their last 10 losses have been by multiple runs. Take the road team CUBS -1.5 (-125), as their bats could do some damage against Freeland and a weak Colorado bullpen.

Over/Under

The Rockies have played 14 games at home since the beginning of August and there have been 12-plus runs scored on 11 occasions along that span. Freeland has had a rough season and is a poor bet for success in this game.

Wicks’ big-league career is off to a nice start, but he has just 4 K in 11 2/3 IP over his last 2 starts and is unlikely to completely shut the Rockies down at Coors. Both teams should do enough to push this total OVER 11.5 (-105).

First look: Los Angeles Chargers at Tennessee Titans odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Los Angeles Chargers at Tennessee Titans Week 2 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Chargers (0-1) visit the Tennessee Titans (0-1) on Sunday in Week 2 NFL action. Kickoff from Nissan Stadium is at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Chargers vs. Titans odds from BetMGM Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire’s NFL picks and predictions.

The Chargers fell 36-34 to the visiting Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 1, failing to cover as 3-point favorites while the Over (50.5) cashed. Los Angeles was outgained 536-to-433 in total yards, in part due to allowing Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to pass for 466 yards.

RB Austin Ekeler was the brightest spot on the offense for the Bolts, rolling up 117 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries while allowing 47 yards on 4 receptions.

The Titans came up just short in a 16-15 road loss at the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, covering as 3-point underdogs as the Under (41) cashed. QB Ryan Tannehill was 16-for-34 passing for just 198 yards with 3 interceptions, linking up with WR DeAndre Hopkins for a team-high 65 yards on 7 receptions. RB Derrick Henry rushed on 63 yards on 15 carries and added 56 yards on 2 receptions, although he failed to find paydirt.

Tennessee — the league’s best run defense in 2022 — held New Orleans to just 69 yards on 27 carries, or 2.6 yards per carry.

Washington heads to East Lansing off a 43-10 home win against Tulsa (push on a -33). The victory marked the Huskies’ 9th in a row. A 1st-in-the-nation passing attack &472 yards per game) has paced UW so far. Washington is ranked No. 8 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.

The Spartans head into what is sure to be a week full of controversy and emotion as coach Mel Tucker was suspended Sunday under allegations of sexual harassment. Michigan State is 2-0 with a pair of covers after an easy 1st fortnight of games.

First look: Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles odds and lines

Looking at Thursday’s Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles Week 2 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Minnesota Vikings (0-1) visit the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) for Thursday Night Football in Week 2 NFL action. Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is at 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Below, we look at Vikings vs. Eagles odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire’s NFL picks and predictions.

Minnesota opened the season witha 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, losing outright as a 4-point favorite while the Under (45) cashed. That wasn’t the start the Vikings were hoping for after their 2022 campaign finished with a 1st-round playoff defeat the New York Giants despite wrapping up the regular season 13-4.

Philadelphia barely hung on for a 25-20 victory at the New England Patriots in Week 1. The Eagles came out strong, scoring 16 points in the 1st quarter before a roller-coaster finish over the final 3 frames. There should be a lot of fanfare for the 2023 NFC champs in their home opener, but they need to get things figured on offense if they want to remain competitive within the conference.

Rays at Twins picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 4, Twins 3

Moneyline

Glasnow is in the midst of a dominant 12-start stretch in which he has registered a 2.30 ERA with a 101/15 K/BB and just 5 HR allowed across 74 1/3 IP. He’s tough to bet against and should help his team come out on top in this one.

Back the RAYS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

Gray hasn’t been as dominant as Glasnow has, though he has been excellent himself, both throughout the season and in recent weeks. In his last 7 starts, he has recorded a 2.36 ERA (45 2/3 IP, 12 ER) along with a 45/9 K/BB. Tampa has the pitching edge, but Gray should keep it close, so the wise move is to SKIP this line.

Over/Under

The Twins rank 9th in the majors in runs per game at home (4.81), while Tampa is 5th in runs per game on the road (5.43). Both will be hard-pressed to get there in this game, as both starting pitchers have been on quite a roll.

The total is a low one but both these hurlers are fully capable of throwing up zeroes in this game. This should end up pretty close to the total but a slight lean to UNDER 7.5 (-110) is the call here.
