About Last Night

Clemson stays unbeaten, Oklahoma doesn’t
Caleb Wilfinger’s hot streak with his college football best bets article reached 8-1 with a 2-1 day yesterday and our 3-star plays went 3-2, with our CFB props and underdogs picks also both going 2-1 in Week 4. On the field, Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State all won, although Georgia was not close to covering a 45-point spread in a 39-22 win over Kent State. Michigan, USC and Clemson (in double overtime) avoided upsets, but #6 Oklahoma could not, losing 41-34 to Kansas State as a 13.5-point favorite. FanDuel Sportsbook now has Georgia at +175 odds, Alabama at +200 and Ohio State at +230 for the National Championship.

MLB parlay cashes for second straight day
Our Saturday MLB parlay (Guardians ML, Brewers and Padres on the -1.5 run line) cashed at +483 odds, hot on the heels of Friday’s +409 winning ticket. We also hit with our best MLB prop for the second straight day. The Yankees claimed a 7-5 win over the Red Sox, but Aaron Judge is still 1 shy of the AL home-run record, while the Braves moved to within 1.5 games of the Mets in the NL East as they beat the Phillies 6-3 while New York lost 10-4 to the Athletics. The Astros reached 100 wins with an 11-10 victory over the Orioles.

Best Bet of the Day

NFL: Baltimore Ravens -2.5 vs New England Patriots
1:00 pm ET, FOX

The Baltimore Ravens can bounce back from an epic collapse against the Miami Dolphins when they visit the New England Patriots. Baltimore has been getting off to fast starts, and to say that New England isn’t a team built to play from behind would be an understatement. The Patriots were terrible against the Dolphins in Week 1, and they were bad – at least offensively – again during last Sunday’s 17-14 win over Pittsburgh. Mac Jones has more turnovers (3) than touchdowns (2), and New England is averaging a mere 3.8 yards per rushing attempt. Baltimore is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games following a loss while The Patriots are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four overall and 0-3-1 ATS in their last four at home. Check out our full Ravens vs Patriots preview.
