    Analysis

    The Nationals and Tigers each have starters making season debuts. For Washington, DJ Herz is coming off Tommy John and allowed nine runs over 18 minor league innings. The left-hander faces a Tigers order that has managed over one run just once in the last five games, but has an .897 OPS off left-handers since Sept. 7. Detroit’s River Ryan is coming off a three-month hamstring injury; he was a key part of the Tarik Skubal trade. Both are likely to be on a pitch count, which aids the Tigers and their better bullpen.

    Analysis

    This is a special occasion Kraft Hockeyville game in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, so the "home" Canadiens are pretty much going with their A team. Montreal is 2-0 in the preseason, winning a pair of split-squad games vs. Toronto. It's the opener for Ottawa, which has a few guys out due to injury/birth of a child. The Sens are expected to take a major step back this season after trading away Brady Tkachuk to Florida.

    Receptions
    Picked: Sep 15 @ 10:47pm

    Analysis

    DraftKings. We’re getting a buy-low spot on Puka Nacua’s reception line for Week 2. After the entire Rams passing game put up a dud in Australia, I’m expecting a total bounce-back with the extra days to prepare. Nacua cleared this in 12/16 games last season, and has at least seven catches in 14 straight home regular season games, a streak that dates back to December 2023. I don’t see the Giants repeating their ball control dominance against the Rams, and their secondary did struggle in coverage. Big time get right spot for the Rams offense.

    Receptions
    Picked: Sep 16 @ 12:35pm

    Analysis

    Isaiah Likely had eight receptions on eight targets in his Giants debut. Even with Malik Nabers back, it’s clear that Likely will be Jaxson Dart’s go to guy/safety blanket. Los Angeles allowed a four receptions on seven targets to the Niners tight ends in Australia and we can except Likely to get more attention this week. Aaron Donald may play for Los Angeles but no Myles Garrett so as long as the Giants o-line can protect Dart, the targets will be there for Likely.

    Spread
    Picked: Sep 16 @ 3:21pm

    Analysis

    Based on Week 1 alone, the Giants look like the side you want to be on, but this line was Rams -9.5 on the lookahead board last week. The late travel to Australia strategy which didn't work, but the travel was done that way as to be better for the Rams when they get back to Pacific Time Zone. 10 days off and against a Giants team, which looked great --- vs. an awful Cowboys defense. The Giants had 37.5 minutes of possession vs. Dallas, who allowed the G-Men to convert 9 of 11 third downs. Shouldn't have been a surprise as the Cowboys were 32nd in that category last year. But the Rams were 7th and won't let the Giants keep it that long.
