It's finally here. The NFL is back and it's not even August yet. It may only be the Hall of Fame Game, but everyone is excited to get back into the NFL betting action. Bobby, Jay and Reggie are back for another fun and exciting season and it begins tonight with the Chargers vs. Lions from Canton, Ohio.

Bobby continued his torrid run in Major League Baseball with two more winners on Thursday. Bobby is now on a nice 9-2 (+$673) run with his Best Bets and has two more lined up for today. Jay had a winning day overall to improve his season mark to 769-777 (+$6,764) picking all games on the board. We have our free picks in all 3 games on today's schedule, including three Best Bets.

Jay had a Best Bet winner on the Fever last night in the WNBA and is now on a 6-4 (60%) run overall. There is one game on today's schedule and Bobby and Jay are on the same side.
