About Last Night
Awesome start to NFL season for Pickswise
The Pickswise NFL handicappers started the season in awesome form, going 11-3 on spread picks on Sunday, including all 3 of our Best Bets (Falcons +5.5 and unders in Dallas and Tennessee). We also cashed our Sunday NFL parlay at +612 odds and hit two same game parlays in Steelers vs Bengals (+706) and Giants vs Titans (+700)!
Steelers beat Bengals in wild OT game
The Steelers beat the Bengals 23-20 in a crazy OT game, meaning both last season’s Super Bowl teams lost, while the Bears upset the 49ers and the Colts and Texans played out a tie, meaning no AFC South team has a win yet. The Chiefs, Vikings, Dolphins and Chargers impressed while Defensive Player of the Year TJ Watt and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott sustained Sunday’s most significant injuries.

MLB mega parlay cashes at +909 odds!
The Pickswise MLB team had a fine Sunday too, going 9-6 on ML/RL picks, 12-3 on totals and cashing our MLB mega parlay at +909 odds. Our top prop play was a winner and it was another 2-0 day for our YRFI/NRFI best bets and we hit our same game parlay on the Giants vs Cubs game at +330 odds. On the field, the Yankees beat the Rays 10-4, the Guardians completed a sweep of the Twins and the Mariners beat the Braves 8-7 with 2 homers in the bottom of the 9th.
