Meanwhile, the Giants came crashing back to earth with a 26-14 loss to the Saints after their upset win over the Chargers in Jaxson Dart&#8217;s first start. These are two franchises on opposite ends of the spectrum right now and Philadelphia didn&#8217;t even need its starter to complete the season sweep in Week 18 last season.\u00a0The model predicts that the Eagles cover in 63% of simulations.<\/p>\n<p>More NFL best bets<\/p>\n<p>Thursday MLB best bets\u00a0Game: Dodgers vs. Phillies, NLDS Game 4, (Thursday, 6:08 p.m. ET)The Pick: Dodgers (-130)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Phillies got their one with two big innings on Wednesday, but I think &#8212; unfortunately like the Cubs &#8212; their season ends in a quick-turnaround Game 4. Why is this game the earlier one Thursday? Strange. But the Dodgers have had some success this year vs. Philly starter Cristopher Sanchez,&#8221; SportsLine handicapper Matt Severance (21-5 on last 26 MLB picks) said. &#8220;He had a 5.68 ERA against them in two RS starts and allowed two runs over five in Game 1. The Dodgers&#8217; Tyler Glasnow had a 2.77 ERA at home this year and threw 1.2 scoreless innings in Game 1. Good sign for LA that injured catcher Will Smith was in Wednesday&#8217;s starting lineup for the first time this postseason. And the team used none of its high-leverage relievers in the loss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More MLB best bets<\/p>\n<p>Thursday college football best betsGame: Kennesaw State vs. Louisiana Tech (Thursday, 7:00 p.m. ET)The Pick:\u00a0Louisiana Tech -5.5 (-115)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Louisiana Tech had the best defense in Conference USA last season, which is the same case once again this year. Their ability to stifle an opposing offense, no matter the opponent, is an excellent thing,&#8221; SportsLine college football expert Emory Hunt (22-15 against the spread on his last 37 CFB picks) said. &#8220;The offense does a good enough job of showing their thanks for the defensive effort by putting points up on the board. Good complementary football travels really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More college football best bets<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is no better time for online sports betting than the fall and with Thursday Night Football, the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,615,594,78147,5138,18597,123164,5126,33638,1187,125455,591,48835,9925,48836,1242,593,59487,59488,1260,2365,5137,85,125454],"class_list":["post-200661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-betting","tag-college-football","tag-college-football-picks","tag-dodgers","tag-eagles","tag-early-best-bets","tag-giants","tag-kennesaw-state-owls","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-louisiana-tech-bulldogs","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-bets","tag-mlb-picks","tag-mlb-predictions","tag-new-york-giants","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-picks","tag-nfl-predictions","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-phillies","tag-sports","tag-thursday-night-footbal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
