Locks
NFL (1 Unit) Minnesota Vikings/San Francisco 49ers Over 43 (-110): 7:15 PM CT on ESPN
I’m aware the Vikings don’t play against a defense if this caliber every week but Kirk Cousins isn’t a slouch. We know the 49ers will most likely play into the 20’s themselves so this one really comes down to can the Vikings do enough? I was surprised to see this total come in below 45 so I’m going to take advantage of a discounted number and roll with the over. San Francisco has only been held under 30 points once all season and that was last week so their team total might also be worth a look against a mediocre Minnesota defense.
Bonus Props:
(0.75 Unit) Jordan Addison Over 49.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
(0.5 Unit) Kirk Cousins Over 24.5 Completions (-110)
MLB (1 Unit) Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros ML (-120): 7:03 PM CT on FOX
I don’t know what’s up with Max Scherzer at this point of his career but it hasn’t been good in the playoffs. So far in this years playoffs Scherzer has an 11+ ERA and now has to go against a Houston lineup being led by lefty power-hitting sensation Yordan Alvarez on the road. That spells disaster for a Rangers team that hasn’t been here before and has squandered a couple of opportunities to have put this series away sooner. I’ll pay a little extra juice for the home team tonight.
