About Last Night
Wild finishes headline NFL Week 2 Sunday slate
Jut when you thought you’d seen the craziest finish of the season in NFL Week 2, another one happened, and then another. The Browns melted down in the final 2 minutes to lose a 13-point lead to the Jets, the Ravens blew a 21-point lead to lose to Miami and the Cardinals came back from 16 points behind in the 4th quarter to beat the Raiders with a fumble recovery touchdown in overtime! Here at Pickswise, we went 2-1 with our NFL Best Bets, giving us a 7-1 record this season, and we cashed our SNF same game parlay at +609 odds.
Great day of MLB picks
The Pickswise MLB team had a super Sunday, going 10-5 on ML/RL picks, 9-6 on totals and 2-0 on our YRFI/NRFI Best Bets. Our top prop play cashed and our Sunday parlay of the Red Sox, Yankees and Astros, all on the run line, was a winner at +511 odds! On the field, Aaron Judge hit his 58th and 59th homers of the season as the Yankees beat the Brewers 12-8, the Braves completed a sweep of the Phillies and the Dodgers beat the Giants 4-3 but needed 10 innings to get their 101st win.

Best Bet of the Day
NFL: Minnesota Vikings +2.5 over Philadelphia Eagles
8:30 pm ET, ESPN
Minnesota secured a huge Week 1 win over NFC North rivals Green Bay, and the Vikings are more than capable of following that up with another big performance against the Eagles. Minnesota’s offense showed plenty of ability last season and has all the potential in the world this year after Justin Jefferson looked virtually unplayable against the Packers and Dalvin Cook continues to be one of the best running backs in the league. Take the Vikings to at least push the Eagles all the way. Check out our full Vikings vs Eagles predictions.
