Notre Dame vs. Navy odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Notre Dame vs. Navy odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (6-3) meet the Navy Midshipmen (3-6) Saturday on a neutral field at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Notre Dame vs. Navy odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports

The Fighting Irish picked up a giant win last week against previously unbeaten Clemson, routing the Tigers 35-14 as 4-point home underdogs. Notre Dame moved to No. 20 on the College Football Playoff standings with the victory.

Notre Dame has scored 35 or more points in 3 straight games — all Over results — after opening 5-1 to the Under in its first 6 games.

The Midshipmen have to win out to become eligible for a bowl game, so for all intents and purposes, their postseason begins Saturday. Navy enters just 1-3 SU across its last 4 outings, but it is a respectable 5-2 ATS in the previous 7 games overall.

Notre Dame vs. Navy picks and predictions

Prediction

Notre Dame 34, Navy 13

Moneyline

Notre Dame (-900) will cost you 9 times your potential return in this rivalry game in Baltimore.

Navy catches the Irish at absolutely the worst time this season, as Notre Dame enters brimming with confidence after slaying the Tigers. Still, you can’t lay this kind of money on the Irish for such little return.

PASS.

Against the spread

Playing NOTRE DAME -14.5 (-109) has its risks, especially due to that hook. It would be much more attractive laying less than 2 TDs. Still, this is an Irish team which lit up Clemson by 21 points, and Navy +14.5 (-111) has a much less potent offense.

The key here is the Irish rush defense, which holds the opposition to just 124.3 yards per game on the ground, 35th in the nation. The Middies won’t be able to pass themselves back into the game, and it might snowball pretty badly if Navy falls behind early.

Over/Under

OVER 40.5 (-108) is the best play on the board here, so play it pretty heavily.

Notre Dame has a pretty good chance of racking up enough points to make it go Over on its own if the run game simply hits its averages. Notre Dame runs for 195.1 yards per game, 29th in the country. While Navy is also a running team and running usually means the clock keeps moving and get Under results, this is a super low number.

Mavericks at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 112, Wizards 105

Moneyline

The Mavericks (-155) are slightly favored on the road, but the odds for them to win aren’t worth taking straight up. I’ll go ahead and PASS on taking the moneyline in this game unless I’m including Dallas in a parlay.

Against the spread

MAVERICKS -3.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game despite Dallas losing to Orlando Wednesday. G Luka Doncic had his 1st game where he scored fewer than 30 points against the Magic and Beal is sidelined for Washington.

The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings against the Wizards in Washington.

Over/Under

Even with the Wizards having the 6th-worst offensive rating in the NBA, OVER 208.5 (-108) is an enticing wager. The Mavericks have the 8th-best offensive rating in the league and Doncic could be in store for a special performance Thursday.

The Over has hit in 6 of the 8 meetings between the Mavericks and the Wizards in Washington and has hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings overall.

Spartans Wire Picks: Our predictions for every Week 11 Big Ten game

Check out the Spartans Wire picks for each Big Ten game in Week 11

Big Ten football is back for another week and so are our weekly picks.

Here’s how the Spartans Wire staff has fared so far:

  • Andrew Brewster: 40-33
  • Cory Linsner: 37-36
  • Robert Bondy: 32-41

Here are our picks against the spread for each Big Ten game on this week’s slate — odds courtesy of BetMGM.

Player Prowl: Panthers pick off Falcons CB A.J. Terrell

Falcons CB A.J. Terrell may not be playing against the Panthers tonight, but we’re still glad to highlight him.

For us, the first divisional rematch for the Carolina Panthers means the first double-dip of “Player Prowl.” And for our second shot at (hypothetically) poaching the Atlanta Falcons roster, we’re (with tight end Kyle Pitts already chosen) taking a player we highlighted last year—cornerback A.J. Terrell.

Even though Terrell will be inactive for the second time in this matchup for 2022, he’s more than worthy of our attention. The third-year defensive back has quietly become one of the best players at his position, as he was named an AP Second-team All-Pro (and a Pro Football Focus First-team All-Pro) for his work in 2021.

That campaign saw the former 16th overall pick amass 81 tackles, three interceptions, a sack and a forced fumble. He also, as we reference our pals over at PFF once again, earned the second-highest coverage grade (85.6) for any starting cornerback that season.

Teaming up Terrell with fellow standout youngster Jaycee Horn, along with Donte Jackson still on hand, would give the Panthers and general manager Scott Fitterer a dream duo on the boundaries. So tonight, you may see why Atlanta—who boasts the NFL’s worst pass defense—misses their man.

Previous Player Prowl picks:

  • Week 1 (Cleveland Browns): DE Myles Garrett
  • Week 2 (New York Giants): DE Kayvon Thibodeaux
  • Week 3 (New Orleans Saints): CB Marshon Lattimore
  • Week 4 (Arizona Cardinals): QB Kyler Murray
  • Week 5 (San Francisco 49ers): DE Nick Bosa
  • Week 6 (Los Angeles Rams): DT Aaron Donald
  • Week 7 (Tampa Bay Buccaneers): WR Chris Godwin
  • Week 8 (Atlanta Falcons): TE Kyle Pitts
  • Week 9 (Cincinnati Bengals): QB Joe Burrow

Sacred Heart at Rutgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Sacred Heart at Rutgers odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Sacred Heart Pioneers (1-0) and Rutgers Scarlet Knights (1-0) meet Thursday. Tip-opff from Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway is at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Sacred Heart vs. Rutgers odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Sacred Heart opened its season Tuesday with a 77-70 win at Hartford. The Pioneers have much of their squad from last year back. That group went 10-20 last season and finished 7th in the Northeast Conference with a 6-12 mark in conference play.

The Scarlet Knights lifted the lid on the 2022-23 season by throttling Columbia 75-35 Monday. Rutgers figures to have a veteran rotation, but just 56.3% of its scoring is back. G Ron Harper — who averaged 15.8 points per game last season — is now in the NBA. Senior G Cam Spencer filled his lead-scorer role with 17 points in the season-opener.

Sacred Heart at Rutgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rutgers 82, Sacred Heart 62

Moneyline

The line on Rutgers (-3000) is too steep to consider. PASS.

Against the spread

Rutgers is a borderline top-50 team. Sacred Heart only faced one such foe last season when the Pioneers fell to Providence 92-64 on Nov. 11. Sacred Heart was in that game for long stretches, however: the Friars mostly led by 6-10 points until the final 5 minutes.

The Pioneers would be a lean getting +21.5 here if that play came at a discounted price (a -108 or better, for example). Otherwise, PASS.

Over/Under

The Pioneers and Knights last met in 2020 when Rutgers emerged with a 86-63 victory. The Over hit by 11.5 points, and that is the lean in this game.

Rutgers logged a few early-season games last season where point totals were a bit bloated. Sacred Heart won’t be able to stop the Knights from getting 80-plus in this one. Look for SHU to get enough offense against a widening RU rotation late.

BACK THE OVER 139.5 (-114).

LSU at Arkansas odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 8 LSU Tigers (7-2, 5-1 SEC) meet the Arkansas Razorbacks (5-4, 2-3) Saturday at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the LSU vs. Arkansas odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Tigers surprised Alabama in Death Valley last week, dealing the Crimson Tide a costly 32-31 loss in overtime. It ended the College Football Playoff hopes for Bama, while improving LSU’s ranking to No. 7 in the rankings, and No. 8 in the AFCA Coaches Poll.

LSU has covered 3 games in a row, while going 7-1 SU/6-2 ATS in the last 8 games since that excruciatingly painful 24-23 loss to Florida State on Labor Day weekend in New Orleans to open the season.

Arkansas has not had the season it envisioned at the start, and it is coming off a 21-19 home loss to Liberty in a non-SEC game in Fayetteville last weekend. The Razorbacks are just 2-4 SU/ATS in the last 6 games after a 3-0 SU start. The Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 for Arkansas.

LSU at Arkansas picks and predictions

Prediction

LSU 34, Arkansas 24

Moneyline

LSU (-175) isn’t too terribly priced out of line if you just want to play this game straight up and not worry about the points.

Arkansas has been a thorn in the side of the Tigers over the years, but LSU has won 5 of the last 6 in this series. The Bayou Bengals will be looking for a little revenge, too, after suffering a 16-13 loss on their home field last season. Coach Brian Kelly didn’t experience the sting of that setback, but many of the players certainly remember.

Against the spread

LSU -3.5 (-105) is worth playing, despite the difficult road game.

LSU is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 games against teams with a winning overall record, while going 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 inside the SEC.

Arkansas +3.5 (-115) has cashed in just 2 of the last 7 games overall, while hitting at a 1-5 ATS clip in the previous 6 against teams with a winning overall record.

Over/Under

UNDER 63 (-112) is the best play on the board, although it obviously comes with some risks.

The Under is 6-2 in the last 8 games for November, while going 4-1 in the last 5 meetings with LSU, and 5-1 in the last 6 trips to Fayetteville.

Arkansas has hit the Over in 4 of the last 5 games overall, while going 3-1-1 in the last 5 home games for the Hogs. But, again, the Under has dominated in this series.

Titans’ Treylon Burks on playing against Broncos: ‘That’s the plan’

Titans WR Treylon Burks might make his return in Week 10 after missing the last four games.

The Tennessee Titans’ wide receiver corps. could use all the help it can get as the group continues to struggle, but reinforcements might be on the way this week with 2022 first-round pick and wideout, Treylon Burks.

Burks missed the last four games due to a turf toe injury but was designated to return from injured reserve this week, opening his 21-day window to be activated.

As we found out last week with cornerback Elijah Molden, this doesn’t mean Burks will automatically suit up against the Denver Broncos in Week 10, but that’s apparently the plan.

“That’s the plan,” Burks said about playing in Week 10, per John Glennon of Sports Illustrated. “We’re just going to see how this week goes. Work hard, let God take care of the rest.”

While Burks wasn’t lighting the world on fire earlier this season, one thing he was good at doing was getting separation, something his teammates are not.

One person who is undoubtedly happy about Burks’ impending return is quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who is dealing with his own injury and is uncertain to play on Sunday.

“I know we as an offense are excited to have him if he’s able to go this week — a guy who was coming along nicely for us early in the season, kind of hitting his stride, finally kind of settling in,” Tannehill said. “It’s been good seeing him get better over the course of the last few weeks, just talking to him in the training room and seeing where he’s at and how his rehab and progression have gone, and so definitely excited to start that process of getting him on.”

Tennessee’s passing attack was struggling even when Tannehill and Burks were healthy, but the unit had fallen even further with Malik Willis under center, something that certainly wasn’t all the rookie’s fault.

The Titans will hope better days are ahead once Tannehill and Burks are back on the field, but this offense’s issues through the air are about more than just two guys.

However, If Tennessee can find a way to even look slightly above competent through the air and put it all together with their elite defense and rushing attack, this team can make some serious noise in 2022.

These 3 areas will be key to winning in Cowboys-Packers’ Week 10 tilt

How much QB maneuverability plays a role in each team’s offense is one of the key ingredients in defining Week 10 success, says @cdpiglet.

Regardless of the trade-deadline miss on bringing in another wide receiver, the Dallas Cowboys are coming off their bye week feeling really good about their situation. The team is in second place in the most competitive division the league has seen in decades.  This despite starting QB Dak Prescott missing five of the eight games.

Dallas has one of the best defenses in football, a great special team unit, a very good run game, and an improving pass game with the return of Prescott. There is no game left on the schedule this season that the Cowboys should fear, including Week 10’s Green Bay Packers and nemesis QB Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers came into 2022 with high hopes despite trading WR Davante Adams; coming off back-to-back division titles and with the back-to-back reigning MVP in Rodgers. After an 3-1 start, Green Bay has lost four straight and leave their season on the brink of collapse.

The Cowboys have their sights set on catching up to the No. 1 seed Philadelphia Eagles while the Packers are attempting to salvage the season. Here are the keys to victory in this matchup between these two storied franchises.

Missouri at Tennessee odds, picks and predictions

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

The Missouri Tigers (4-5, 2-4 SEC) meet the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers (8-1, 4-1) Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Missouri vs. Tennessee odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Tigers played Kentucky tough last week, but suffered a 21-17 loss at home as a 1-point favorite. The Mizzou offense has scored 23 or fewer points in 6 straight outings, while cashing the Under at an amazing 8-0 run in the last 8 contests.

The Volunteers lost at Georgia 27-13 last week, slipping from No. 1 in the CFP rankings to its current No. 5.

Tennessee also entered 7-1 ATS in the first 8 games, so the non-cover was on the rare side this season. The Under has cashed in consecutive games for the 1st time this season for UT, too.

Missouri at Tennessee picks and predictions

Prediction

Tennessee 41, Missouri 14

Moneyline

Tennessee (-1400) will cost you 14 times your potential return, and there is just no value in playing money line bets like that.

AVOID.

Against the spread

TENNESSEE -20.5 (-107) is worth a look, as the Volunteers look to bounce back and keep their hopes alive for a spot in the CFP. The loss to Georgia was damaging, however, as the chances of making the SEC Championship Game took a severe hit.

The Vols could potentially have difficulty moving the ball against a Tigers defense which ranks 14th in the nation with just 304.4 total yards per game allowed. Mizzou fell just 26-22 against Georgia on Oct. 1, but that game was also in Columbia.

Tennessee will get well at home, and it will pick up steam in the 2nd half, rolling to the cover here.

Over/Under

UNDER 57 (-112) is the lean here ever so slightly.

The Under has cashed in 8 consecutive games for Mizzou, while going 7-0 in the last 7 on the road dating back to last season. The Under is also 27-11 in the last 38 SEC games for Mizzou, so this is nothing new.

It’s been all Over all the time for UT this season, and in recent campaigns, but the Missouri defense is stout and will keep Tennessee from hitting its full stride.

Philadelphia 76ers at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (5-6) are set to take on the Atlanta Hawks (7-4) Thursday at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBATV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Hawks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers defeated the Phoenix Suns 100-88 Monday to cover as 1.5-point underdogs at home. Philadelphia was on a 2-game losing skid before beating Phoenix, so it was a much-needed victory as they try to get above .500.

The Hawks are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back after losing to the Utah Jazz 125-119 Wednesday, failing to cover as 4.5-point home favorites. Atlanta had a 3-game win streak going before the loss, with double-digit wins over the Milwaukee Bucks (117-98, Monday) and the New York Knicks (112-99, Nov. 2).

Hawks

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

76ers at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 115, 76ers 109

Moneyline

I’ll take HAWKS (-117) at home even though it could be a close game. Atlanta is on a back-to-back, but they’ll be playing at home for the 2nd straight day and the Hawks will be looking to bounce back following a loss to the Jazz.

Against the spread

HAWKS -1.5 (-108) makes sense considering that I have Atlanta winning Thursday. The Hawks should be able to win by at least 1 basket in a game where the 76ers will still be without Harden, who was playing well before he got injured.

The Hawks are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games against a team with a winning road record, dating back to last season. Meanwhile, the 76ers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 meetings against the Hawks in Atlanta.

Over/Under

OVER 222.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning with the current trends for both teams. While Philadelphia plays at the 2nd-slowest pace in the NBA, Atlanta plays at the 7th-fastest pace.

The 76ers have hit the Over in each of their last 5 games following a straight-up win. The Hawks have hit the Over in 7 of their last 9 games overall.
