We have two more games tonight in a long weekend of NFL preseason football. The Eagles and Browns played to an 18-18 tie to kick off Week 2 action last night. Our staff was on the Eagles (-4), who just couldn't get the offense going in the first half. We have another Consensus play tonight in the Bengals vs. Falcons game and you can find that pick along with the rest of our Week 2 picks in this newsletter.

Jay nailed another MLB winner on Thursday with the Mets (-118) over the Cardinals. He is now on a 13-8 (+$594) run with his Best Bets and has now won 26-of-35 days picking ALL games on the board. We have a full slate of action tonight including 4 Best Bets.

Jay also improved his WNBA run to 4-0 with a winner on the Aces over the Liberty last night. Bobby was on the other side, but is still sitting at 9-2 (82%) over his last 11 WNBA picks. We have two more winners lined up for tonight.

Remember, all of our picks are 100% FREE and available every morning on our website. Below, you will find our Best Bets for Friday, August 18th, 2023 from our expert handicappers including some future bets at the bottom. Good luck to everyone today!
