We have a few different sports we have to pick today. We have a few NBA games, two College Football games featuring ranked teams, and an NFL game! Here we go!

NCAA FOOTBALL:

Virginia Tech at #24 NC State (-13.5):

We miss the days of Virginia Tech being the team to beat in the ACC. They are not even close to that now, coming into this game with a 2-5 record. This will be a low scoring game, where the over/under for this game is only 30. That is crazy low! We are going to go with the Wolfpack to beat the Hokies, but not cover. Pick: NC State 24 Virginia Tech 13

#14 Utah (-7) at Washington State:

This game will either be a narrow Washington State win or a Utah blowout. Those are the only two outcomes we can say here. Both of these teams are coming off a bye, and the Cougars usually play the Utes tough on the Palouse. Give us Washington State to not only cover, but win the game outright. Pick: Washington State 27 Utah 24

NBA:

Dallas (-3) at Brooklyn:

Brooklyn is coming off a tough loss to Milwaukee, and now has to face Luka and the Mavericks on the second night of a back to back. We normally don’t like picking teams playing back to back games, and this one is no different. The wheels are already starting to come off in Brooklyn, as Ben Simmons is not assimilating himself into the offense like he wanted too. Give us Dallas to cover. Pick: Dallas 127 Brooklyn 120

Los Angeles Clippers (-6.5) at Oklahoma City:

These two teams played against each other in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and it was a 14 point Clippers win. We can’t see the result changing by eight points, so give us Los Angeles. Pick: Los Angeles Clippers 111 Oklahoma City 99

Miami at Golden State (-6):

Golden State has traded wins and losses their first four games of the season. Their last game was a loss. Logic says this game will be a win, but by how much? We are going with more than six points because they have had an extra day of rest, and Miami isn’t exactly a young team. Pick: Golden State 118 Miami 105

Memphis (-3) at Sacramento:

Sacramento is looking for their first win of the season, and now hosts a Memphis team that has gotten off to a 3-1 start. Both of these teams should be well rested, with Sacramento last playing four days ago, and Memphis having three days off. Memphis is one of our favorite teams in the league, and Ja Morant is so fun to watch. Give us the Grizzlies here. Pick: Memphis 116 Sacramento 109

NFL:

Baltimore at Tampa Bay (-2):

Tampa Bay has lost their last two games against Carolina and Pittsburgh, two teams that are the running for the #1 pick in the draft. Tom Brady is looking like a shell of his former self, and the team is suffering because of that. Combine that with all the drama that the Buccaneers have, and we can’t see why they are favored in this one. We will happily take the points with the Ravens. Pick: Baltimore 31 Tampa Bay 20

Happy picking everyone!
