We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are from DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, and PointsBet Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

BYU to score first and win – Boosted from +260 to +330 with DraftKings Sportsbook

BYU is expected to have a tough matchup tonight with the Arizona State Sun Devils, but after beating Utah last week, the Cougars will likely have a ton of confidence. Our experts like BYU to cover, but a win is certainly not out of  the question. The Cougars showed plenty on offense last week, so asking to get off to a hot start and win the game looks to be worth a small play.

Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Alabama to win by 20+ points – Boosted from +150 to +165 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Alabama will play Florida this afternoon in what could be their first real test. Though not likely as the Tide are looking much too strong. The Gators have won their first 2 games easily, but hardly played a game against a competitive team.  They have questions surrounding their quarterbacks, so expect the Tide to roll in a big way.

Penn State to not allow a 1st quarter touchdown – Boosted from -120 to -110 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Auburn and Penn State will face off tonight in what looks to be a tight matchup. Bo Nix has had his struggles for Auburn, especially on the road, so a hostile crowd in Happy Valley could cause an issue. Auburn could be in for a tough night, so backing Penn State’s defense to not allow a 1st quarter touchdown looks to be worth a small play.

Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Lance Lynn to record 9+ strikeouts – Boosted from +320 to +400 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need Lance Lynn to have at least 9 strikeouts. He has a K/9 of 10.30 and facing a weak Rangers’ lineup will give him plenty of chances to hit this number. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Penn State to cover -6.5 vs Auburn – Boosted from +105 to +150 with FanDuel Sportsbook

Going back to the College GameDay game between Penn State and Auburn and here we will need the Nittany Lions to win by at least a touchdown. Our experts already love Penn State tonight due to Bo Nix’s struggles on the road, so backing this prop is worth a play.

Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins all to win – Boosted from +300 to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook

Here we will need 3 teams to win their games tonight for this parlay. Our experts do like the Tigers to cover the run line against the Rays, but like Miami to beat the Pirates and a Blue Jays’ win against the Twins also seems likely. For that reason, backing this parlay looks to be worth a small play.

Notre Dame to lead at halftime and win – Boosted from -150 to -130 with PointsBet Sportsbook

Notre Dame have not played great this season, but have managed to win both of their games. A game against Purdue looks to be relatively straightforward. If the Fighting Irish are going to be any threat this season, they will need a convincing win, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.
