The NFL Preseason is upon us and we have you covered. Bobby, Jay and Reggie are back for another season of Best Bets and Free Picks for every single game through the Super Bowl. We start with Week 1 of the Preseason and two games on tonight’s schedule. We have a 100% Consensus play in both contests, including the Lions vs. Giants. It should be another great season and we couldn’t be more excited.
We had a great night in Major League Baseball, going 5-1 (+$385) with our Best Bets. Jay led the way with a perfect 3-0 and also went 12-5 (+$787) picking ALL games on the board. He has now won 18-of-27 days and Jay has his picks in all 10 games on today’s schedule. Bobby is now on an 8-4 (+$313) run and has an early play in today’s Giants vs. Nationals game.
Check out our daily YouTube videos to get Jay Cooper and Bobby Babowski’s Best Bets of the day including recaps of last night’s picks.
