    Analysis

    I think this is a fair price on the Phillies, who are all but assured of a Wild Card berth but still have a chance to be the #4, #5, or #6 seed in the National League. They open the final week of the season with ace right-hander Zack Wheeler, who is searching for his 14th win of 2026. Milwaukee's lineup is batting .190 against him in 100 career at-bats. On the other side, Dustin May is 2-4 with a 5.76 road ERA this season for Milwaukee. Though I think the Brewers will do enough this week to hold off the Dodgers for NL home field advantage, the Phillies need this one more and I think they'll get it.

    Picked: Sep 22 @ 12:56am

    Analysis

    As meaningless games go in baseball, this is definitely one of them. Even though the Giants won on Monday night, their lineup is basically a AAA team at this point. I follow baseball very closely (thank you fantasy teams and betting) and I've never heard of more than half their lineup until recently. Minnesota has the better pitcher in Taj Bradley, who is 11-6 this season including 7-4 on the road, while Anthony Molina has an 8.68 ERA at home (small sample size though) for San Francisco. Minnesota evens the series while playing for pride and gets Bradley his 12th win of 2026.

    ATL +7
    -110
    Spread
    Picked: Sep 21 @ 11:30am

    Analysis

    The Falcons have had the worst QB play in the league this season led mainly by Cooper Rush, and Kevin Stefanski finally had enough in the second half of Sunday's blowout loss. Michael Penix Jr. practiced in full last week and appears ready to return for this matchup, while Tua Tagovailoa may also be available. So I'm going to take a calculated risk and back Atlanta while I can get +7. The Packers had just 199 yards of offense against the Jets while going 1 of 9 on third down, and lost several players on offense in the close win. Even Jordan Love appeared to be favoring his hand. Given the health on that side of the ball, I can't see this underperforming team covering.

    K. Pitts

    -120
    Receiving Yards
    Picked: Sep 21 @ 5:35pm

    Analysis

    Kyle Pitts has been completely wiped off the scoreboard for the first two weeks of the season but that can largely be attributed to Cooper Rush who has been a complete disaster at QB, ranking dead last in EPA at QB through two weeks. Michael Penix has been announced as the starter and even at his absolute worst, was significantly more effective than Rush. The Falcons have a condensed target distribution and were getting a sizable discount here on Pitts receiving line.

    C. Watson
    Over 64.5
    -115
    Receiving Yards
    Picked: Sep 22 @ 12:29am

    Analysis

    Over the first two weeks of the season Christian Watson has 19 targets, a nearly 30% target share and a 33% air yard share. With Jayden Reed out those numbers may climb even more. The Packers Offensive Line is a big problem thanks to a number of injuries, but the Falcons have some defensive injuries as well to balance things out (most notably to AJ Terrell and Samson Ebukam who I don't think will play on a short week). Look for the Packers to move the ball through the air (with Watson, Golden and Kraft) due to their non-existent run game and a preference to attack the Falcons secondary rather than their Front 7. Play this up to 67.5.
