We are off to a nice start in the NFL after the Chargers dominate the Lions in the Hall of Fame Game. Jay and Bobby were each on the Chargers, while Reggie was on the Over. We'll have plenty more Preseason picks next week beginning on Thursday with the Colts vs. Ravens.

Bobby nailed both of his Major League Baseball Best Bets on Thursday, including a wild +147 winner on the Braves. Bobby is now on a sizzling 11-2 (+$920) run with his Best Bets and has two more lined up for today. Jay came up short on a winning day overall, but is still 770-779 (+$6,644) picking all games on the board. We have our free picks in all 15 games on today's schedule, including the Dodgers vs. Rays.

We had a Consensus Best Bet winner in the WNBA last night on the Valkyries and we'll look to keep it going tonight. We are on a combined 4-1 (80%) run with our Best Bets and you can find Friday's picks in today's newsletter.
