Show Bio
Good morning and welcome to another NFL Sunday, Pickswise Nation! We have everything you need for the Week 5 games, while there was a ton of MLB drama yesterday and there’s one more elimination game today, plus EPL and MLS soccer and NASCAR. Let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Guardians win marathon, Blue Jays crumble
Three of the MLB Wild Card series ended in sweeps yesterday, but in very different circumstances. The Guardians came through a 15-inning marathon contest to beat the Rays 1-0, while the Mariners fought back from 8-1 down to beat the Blue Jays 10-9. The Phillies ended the Cardinals’ year with a 2-0 win, leaving only the Mets and Padres still battling today after the Mets won 7-3 in Game 2. Our Cardinals vs Phillies SGP cashed at +372 odds and JutPicks was also on the money with his best MLB player prop bet.
CFB Saturday parlay cashes
Our Saturday college football parlay of Tennessee -3. UCLA +4.5 and Oklahoma State -9 was a winner at +612 odds. Alabama was made to work harder than a 24-point favorite should in a 24-20 win over Texas A&M, while Georgia, Ohio State and Michigan all won. FanDuel Sportsbook now has Ohio State at +190 odds for the National Championship, with Georgia at +200 and Alabama at +250.
2-0 start to NHL season
We’re off to a 2-0 start on our NHL ML picks this season after our 3-star play on the Predators cashed as they beat the Sharks 3-2 in Prague.

Best Bet of the Day
NFL: Arizona Cardinals +5.5 over Philadelphia Eagles
4:25 pm ET, FOX
The Eagles are the NFL’s only unbeaten team, but this feels like a tough spot to take the road team laying so many points. The Cardinals have been battling offensive injuries, but they’ve remained competitive and are slowly getting back to full strength. Kyler Murray has done plenty to carry them this far. The Philadelphia defense hasn’t dealt with a quarterback like Murray who can do what he does both on the ground and through the air. That combination may just allow Arizona to keep this game close. Check out our full Eagles vs Cardinals predictions.
