NFL Week 1 Free Picks, Best Bets, Contest Picks & More

The first full Sunday of NFL action is here. Week 1 is already off to a great start for us with two Best Bet winners for Reggie and Jay and we have a lot more winners lined up for today. In this newsletter, you will find the rest of our Staff Selections, Teasers, Consensus picks, as well as our SuperContest and Circa Millions selections. Buckle up and enjoy Week 1 of the NFL.

Bobby split his MLB picks on Saturday and is now on a 3-1 (+$170) run entering Sunday’s action. Jay is on a 10-8 (+$282) run and has a play in this afternoon’s Guardians vs. Dodgers game. You can find all of our MLB picks below.



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.

Yesterday’s College Football did not go well for us with a couple of bad beats and close losses. We will look to rebound later this week with more free picks and Best Bets. Keep checking our daily newsletter for those picks.

Bobby enters today on a 26-12 (68%) run with his WNBA Best Bets and has one play lined up for today. Jay is coming off a winner on Saturday and has his picks in all five games on today’s schedule.



Remember, all of our picks are 100% FREE and available every morning on our website. Below, you will find our Best Bets for Sunday, September 8th, 2024 from our expert handicappers including some future bets at the bottom. Good luck to everyone today!
