AI-researched picks across every sport on the books, plus a game simulator and prediction markets. New picks by 9 AM Central. Every result stays on the record.
We compare every sportsbook's price on the same bet, strip out each book's cut, and average them into a fair price. When a legal US book is paying more than that fair price, it shows up here. Paid tools charge $50 to $200 a month for this. Here it's free.
Scanning the latest saved odds.
Prices can move fast. Always check the price at the book before you bet. A higher number here means a bigger edge on paper, not a sure win.
Every sport and market on the site. Tap a sport for its scores and live games, its simulator, or our picks.
Every game today and tomorrow with a betting line: who we expect to win, the chance, and a predicted final score, built from the sportsbook line. Games where the underdog has a real shot are flagged as upset alerts.

Predicted scores are averages, so they're rounded and can look like scores that rarely happen (like 24-21 in football is common, 23-20 less so). Tennis predictions are on the Tennis tab.

Ask anything about today's picks, a game, a bet type or how odds work. Examples: "Why do you like the Steelers?", "What does +150 pay on $20?", "Is a 4-leg parlay a good idea?"
AI answers can be wrong. It uses today's picks and scores, not live odds, so check the line at your sportsbook before betting.
Loading today's picks. The morning's slips appear here with a breakdown, confidence level and unit size for each one.
Every card below is a suggested play with the bet, the odds, how many units to put on it and why. Units come from the Unit sizer in the toolbox.
Bets on a single player's numbers: points, rebounds, assists, goals, shots, yards, touchdowns and who scores first. Each one shows the line, the odds and why we like it. Want to check a prop yourself? Use the Player research page.
Look up any NBA, WNBA, NFL, NHL, MLB or college player. You'll see their recent games, then pick a stat and type the prop line to see how often they went over it.
Source: ESPN game logs. A good hit rate helps, but also check minutes, injuries, the matchup and whether the line already moved.
Moneyline means just pick the winner. Spread means a team has to win by more than the number, or lose by less if they're getting points. Total means the combined score goes over or under the number. Quarter, half, race-to-points and first-to-score picks are here too, and the Simulator's "More markets" button gives our fair price on all of them for every game.
Your slip is empty. Add picks from the list below.
Every leg has to win for a parlay to pay. More legs pay more but hit far less often, so keep the stake small.

On Kalshi and Polymarket you buy YES or NO on a question, like a city's high temperature or a crypto price. A share pays $1 if you're right, so a 34¢ price means the market gives it about a 34% chance. Access depends on your state.
Live prices from Kalshi and Polymarket. The price in cents is the market's chance, not ours. Our own estimate only appears on the plays above. "Bid" is the best price someone will pay you, "ask" is the best price you can buy at, and a wide gap or low volume means the market is thin and harder to get in and out of. Election and political markets are not shown.
Loading live markets.
How it works: every live game has a Gamecast (field position, down and distance, the count in baseball, the last play and the live win chance), a "Watch on" link to the official app it's on, and a Matchup button with play-by-play, scoring plays, a win-chance chart and highlights. Every game across sports, updated every 30 seconds. Live games show a re-simulated win chance and a fair live price. Tap Matchup for play-by-play, injuries, line moves and highlights, and "Watch on" for the official app it's on. Our picks and the bets you save under Tools → My bets (written like "Bills -3") are tracked right on their games.

A basic indoor antenna (often $20 to $40, one-time) picks up your local ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC stations for free. That covers most Sunday NFL games, a lot of college football, plus some NBA, NHL, soccer and golf on those networks. Many cities also get Spanish-language channels like Univision and Telemundo. Check which channels reach your address with the FCC's free signal map at fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps.
Free apps like Pluto TV, Tubi, The Roku Channel and Samsung TV Plus have sports channels with highlights, classic games, sports talk and some live events. Big games usually aren't on them, but they cost nothing and need no cable login.
Live TV apps like YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream and Sling often offer a free trial or a first-month deal for new customers. Offers change often, so check each app's sign-up page, and set a reminder to cancel before you're charged if you don't want to keep it.
Instead of cable, you can pay for just the app your games are on: ESPN, Peacock (NBC and some NFL, NBA and soccer), Paramount+ (CBS games and Champions League), Prime Video (Thursday Night Football and some NBA), Max (NBA, NHL, college), Apple TV (MLS), NBA League Pass, NHL games on ESPN+, MLB.TV or NFL+. Local blackouts can apply, so read the fine print.
Most teams and leagues stream the radio call free on their own apps or websites, and many local radio stations carry the home team. Handy when you're in the car or can't find the game on TV.
Tap Matchup on a game for official clips that open on ESPN. The leagues' own YouTube channels also post highlights soon after games end.
Stay away from sites that offer every game free with no sign-in. They're illegal, often full of malware and scam pop-ups, and they go down without warning.
Every game here is simulated 10,000 times, starting from the betting market's consensus numbers across every sportsbook. Then each book's price is checked against the simulation. A green value tag means that book is paying more than the simulation says the bet is worth.
Loading the simulator.
Type in the line from your sportsbook and the simulator prices every other market for that game: quarters, halves, race to points, set betting and more.
Futures settle weeks or months from now: champions, MVPs, win totals. Keep these stakes small, since the money is tied up until the season ends.
Offers change daily and depend on your state. Read each book's terms before you sign up. 21+ (18+ in some states). Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
Check that a sportsbook or market is legal in your state before signing up. Lines move, so compare odds across books before you bet.
No graded picks yet. Results post each morning after the games finish.
Record is wins and losses (pushes, where the bet is refunded, are counted separately). Units is profit measured in units, so a 1-unit bet at -110 that wins adds +0.91. ROI is units won divided by units risked. Win rate leaves out pushes. Calibration compares the chance we gave each pick with how often picks at that level actually won. All of these are live results from picks posted before the games, not backtests.
Confidence levels are checked here against real results. If "High" doesn't win more often than "Low" over time, the levels get adjusted and the change is noted on the How it works page.
| Date | Sport | Pick | Odds | Units | Result |

Enter American odds for each leg (like -110 or +150).
Chance is based on the books' implied odds, which include their cut, so the true chance is a little lower.
Bankroll is money set aside only for betting. Keep units the same size win or lose, and resize only once a week.
Type in any box and the others update. A -110 bet needs to win 52.4% of the time to break even.
Enter both sides of a bet (like -110 and -110) to strip out the sportsbook's cut and see the true odds.
Is a bet worth it? Enter the odds and the chance you think it really has. Expected value (EV) is what the bet earns on average over many tries. Kelly is a math formula for bet size based on your edge.
Have a bet riding (like a futures ticket or the last leg of a parlay)? See how much to bet on the other side to lock in a profit no matter who wins.
Hedging trades some upside for a sure result. It usually costs a little in the long run because you pay the book's cut twice.
Found two books with opposite sides priced high enough? Enter both and your total. If the combined chances add up to under 100%, splitting the money right wins either way.
Books can limit accounts that do this a lot, and odds can move before you place the second bet, so place the harder one first.
A round robin splits your picks into every smaller parlay of a set size. Enter the odds for each pick, one per line, and the parlay size.
For pick'em apps like PrizePicks, Underdog and Sleeper, where you pick more or less on several players for a fixed payout. Enter the payout and your chance on each pick to see if the entry is worth it.
Common power play payouts are about 3x for 2 picks, 5x for 3 and 10x for 4, but they change by app and state. Flex plays that pay on partial hits aren't covered here. A pick at -120 at a sportsbook is about a 54.5% chance; use the Odds converter to turn odds into chances.

Take a screenshot of your bet in the sportsbook app, then pick it here. We read the bet off the picture so you don't have to type it. The picture stays on your device.

Every morning an AI researcher reads the day's lines, injury reports, recent form, matchup history and expert previews, then picks only the bets where the numbers show an edge. Each pick lists its sources. Passing is allowed, so some sports have no pick on some days.
"Odds imply" is the chance the sportsbook's price suggests. "Our estimate" is the chance we think the bet really has. The edge is the gap between the two. A pick with a 55% estimate still loses 45% of the time.
The simulator starts from the consensus line across every sportsbook, then plays each game 10,000 times to estimate win, cover and over chances, and checks every book's price against that. Live win chances re-run the rest of the game from the current score and clock. These are estimates built on the market's numbers, not certainties.
Odds come from The Odds API (FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM and other books), refreshed a few times a day. Scores come from ESPN's public scoreboard and refresh every 30 seconds. Weather markets use National Weather Service forecasts. Each card and page shows when its data was last updated.
Every pick is saved with the date it was posted and graded the next morning from final scores and stat lines. Losses and pushes stay up. Old picks are never edited or deleted to look better. Futures stay open until they settle.
If a pick posts with a wrong number or a game is postponed, the card gets an update note instead of being quietly changed. Changes to how picks or confidence levels are made are listed here with a date.

Same as a full-game spread, total or moneyline, but only that part of the game counts. Quarter and half bets settle when that period ends, even if the game goes on. A 1st half spread is usually a little more than half the full-game spread.
You bet on which team gets to that number first. If neither team reaches it (rare in basketball, common for "race to 30" in football), the bet usually loses or is voided, depending on the book's rules.
Which team puts up the first points. It's close to a coin flip with a small edge to the better offense, and in football the opening kickoff matters.
Bets on how much a team wins by, like "Bills by 1-6," or whether the game goes to overtime. They pay more because they're harder to hit.
Both teams to score is just that. Double chance covers two of the three results (like "home or draw"). Draw no bet refunds you if it ends tied.
First 5 innings (F5) bets only count the first five innings, mostly a bet on the starting pitchers. NRFI means no run in the 1st inning by either team, and YRFI means at least one run.
1st period bets cover only the first 20 minutes. The puck line is hockey's spread, almost always 1.5 goals.
Open the Simulator, pick a game and tap "More markets." Every one of these bets has our estimated chance and fair price, so you can compare it with what your book is paying.

When each feed last updated. If something says delayed, the numbers on that page may be behind.
The team getting points (+) can lose by less than that number and still win your bet. The team giving points (-) has to win by more than the number.
Just pick the winner. +150 means a $100 bet wins $150. -150 means you bet $150 to win $100.
A bet on the combined score of both teams. Over 56.5 wins if they score 57 or more together.
A unit is your normal bet size, usually 1 to 2 percent of the money you set aside for betting. The Unit sizer in the toolbox works it out. Bigger confidence gets more units.
Several bets combined into one. It pays more, but every leg has to win, so it hits much less often.
On Kalshi and Polymarket you buy YES or NO on a question. A 34¢ share pays $1 if you're right, so the price is roughly the market's chance it happens.
A tie with the line, like a team winning by exactly the spread. You get your money back.
