This weekend is actually going to be the first game of the World Series, and the action on Thursday will set the stage for a big weekend. Here is a look at the scores and odds of the day for Thursday, October 26th, and a look ahead at the action for tomorrow.
Highlights of the Day:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Buffalo Bills
- 3 last Scores: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-2, Buffalo Bills 1-2
- Odds: Buccaneers +9.5, Bills -9.5
- Pick: Buffalo Bills -9.5
Top Performers: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has 30 receptions for 468 yards and four touchdowns this season. Bills quarterback Josh Allen has thrown for 1,841 yards and 15 touchdowns on the NFL standings this season.
Brief Summary: Looking at NFL schedule is always important when putting together picks and parlays, and this is going to be an interesting matchup. Tampa Bay has been scuffling a bit, and it’s hard to see them keeping this close on the road. One of the scores and odds to add is taking the Bills to win and cover the 9.5-point spread.
Syracuse Orange vs. Virginia Tech Hokies
- 3 last Scores: Syracuse Orange 0-3, Virginia Tech Hokies 2-1
- Odds: Syracuse +3.0, Virginia Tech -3.0
- Pick: Virginia Tech Hokies -3.0
Top Performers: Syracuse Orange running back Lequint Allen has 106 carries for 511 yards and seven touchdowns this season breaking all the Syracuse scores. Virginia Tech wide receiver Jaylin Lane has 21 receptions for 341 yards and five touchdowns on the year.
Brief Summary: Making predictions on college football is always a good deal if you look for Syracuse scores, and this will be an interesting matchup. Syracuse has been a better team overall this season, but Virginia Tech has really been playing well of late. Home-field advantage matters in NCAAF matchups, and that will allow the Hokies to win this game and cover the spread.
Georgia State Panthers vs. Georgia Southern Eagles
- 3 last Scores: Georgia State 2-1, Georgia Southern 2-1
- Odds: Georgia State +1.5, Georgia Southern -1.5
- Pick: Georgia State Moneyline
Top Performers: Georgia State Panthers running back Marcus Carroll has 169 carries for 852 yards and ten touchdowns this season. Georgia Southern quarterback Davis Brin has thrown for 14 touchdowns this season, but he has also thrown 11 interceptions.
Brief Summary: The NCAAF odds for this game are tight, and they actually favor the team with the worst record. These two teams are great rivals in the state of Georgia, and this should be a game in which both offenses shine. Ultimately, it will be the Panthers that make the biggest play of the day as they are able to come away with a huge win to move to 7-1.
Tomorrow’s Pick
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers
- Expected Odds: Arizona Diamondbacks +155, Texas Rangers -170
- Pick: Texas Rangers -170
What to Watch: This was not supposed to be the World Series matchup, as both the Diamondbacks and Rangers have been a huge surprise this season.
Arizona is going to try to win this game with pitching, Texas wants to win the game at the plate. Even though the Diamondbacks will have a great pitcher on the mound in this game, Texas is going to get the win.
You are going to be able to look at MLB scores and odds throughout the weekend, but that’s not the only option that will be out there. Checking out the full slate of football games at the college and professional level is also going to be a great option to complement the Syracuse odds.
