    Best Bets Today | Rays vs Brewers: A New Champ Guaranteed?! | MLB, NBA, NHL & CFB Picks Friday

    Got smoked on the Predators yesterday, then watched the Cavs blow a modern-history 29-point lead to the 76ers and the Patriots miss covering TNF. Today I go through two NHL games, the full NBA slate, five Friday college football games, and World Series Game 1. Two plays on the card: Miami Heat and Tulsa. ✅ TODAY'S BEST BETS 🏀 Miami Heat +1 / +1.5 vs Detroit Pistons: biggest sandwich spot of the day. Detroit just burned a ton of effort overcoming a 22-point deficit vs the Celtics, then has the Sixers and Knicks on deck. Fade what you saw in Game 1. 🏈 Tulsa -1.5 vs Army: Army is overvalued off a 56-point win over FAU that was skewed by turnovers, sitting in a sandwich/look-ahead to Memphis, and Tulsa has seen triple-option offense three weeks in a row. Leans only (not plays): Blackhawks ML vs Canadiens, Avalanche vs Lightning, Bulls vs Bucks, Celtics vs Knicks, Hornets vs Hawks, Pacers vs Mavericks, Magic +1.5 vs Timberwolves (close to a second NBA play), Wizards vs Raptors, Rockets + pts vs Spurs, Jazz vs Pelicans, Warriors vs Grizzlies, Clippers +9.5 vs Lakers, Kings +8.5 vs Trail Blazers, Virginia -2.5 vs Duke, UConn vs UMass, Air Force-Wyoming under, Stanford +6.5/+7 vs NC State, and a slight Rays lean (esp. first-five run line) plus preference for the under in World Series Game 1 (no play). Today's games (all times ET): ⚾ MLB World Series Game 1: Rays @ Brewers, 8 PM (FOX) 🏀 NBA: Bulls @ Bucks, 4 PM; Knicks @ Celtics (Prime), Hawks @ Hornets, Mavericks @ Pacers, Timberwolves @ Magic and Raptors @ Wizards, 7 PM; Pistons @ Heat, 8 PM; Rockets @ Spurs (Prime) and Pelicans @ Jazz, 9:30 PM; Grizzlies @ Warriors, Clippers @ Lakers and Trail Blazers @ Kings, 10 PM 🏒 NHL: Canadiens @ Blackhawks, 8 PM; Lightning @ Avalanche, 9 PM 🏈 College football: Duke @ Virginia (ESPN) and UMass @ UConn, 7 PM; Army @ Tulsa, 8:30 PM (ESPN2); Air Force @ Wyoming, 9 PM (CW); NC State @ Stanford, 10:30 PM (ESPN) 0:00 Yesterday's results: Predators get smoked 1:10 Cavs blow a 29-point lead to the 76ers 2:22 TNF recap: over was right, side was tough 2:59 Today's rundown 4:45 Show open 4:54 NHL: Canadiens @ Blackhawks 7:10 NHL: Lightning @ Avalanche 9:53 NBA slate open 9:58 NBA: Bulls @ Bucks 12:17 NBA: Knicks @ Celtics 14:37 NBA: Hawks @ Hornets 16:11 NBA: Mavericks @ Pacers 18:01 NBA: Timberwolves @ Magic 21:03 NBA: Raptors @ Wizards 23:45 NBA BEST BET: Pistons @ Heat 27:52 NBA: Rockets @ Spurs 30:35 NBA: Pelicans @ Jazz 33:33 NBA: Grizzlies @ Warriors 36:32 NBA: Clippers @ Lakers 37:57 NBA: Trail Blazers @ Kings 40:15 Hydration break 40:37 College football open 43:02 CFB: Duke @ Virginia 46:35 CFB: UMass @ UConn 51:36 CFB BEST BET: Army @ Tulsa 59:37 CFB: Air Force @ Wyoming 65:08 CFB: NC State @ Stanford 70:20 World Series Game 1: Rays @ Brewers 82:33 Today's two plays recap 88:30 Sign-off Best bets today and free sports picks every day from Toadstool Sports. 🔗 www.linktree.com/learntotoad | www.patreon.com/learntotoad X/IG/TT: @LearnToToad #BestBets #WorldSeries #MLBPicks #NBAPicks #NHLPicks #CFBPicks

    MY FAVORITE PLAY RUINED A PERFECT 12-0 WEEK | Monday Takes on ALCS, NHL, WNBA Finals & NFL

    My favorite play ruined a perfect week. I got the first 12 NFL games right against the spread — then my favorite play of the week, the Cowboys, was the one that lost. Of course it was. No best bets today — I'm skipping the board. This is a leans-only Monday show: analysis on today's NHL games, WNBA Finals Game 2, ALCS Game 6, and Monday Night Football, with no actual plays locked in. Leans only (NOT best bets): - NHL: Toronto Maple Leafs ML — the strongest NHL lean; oddsmakers are telling you something with Toronto favoured here. Also discussed: Anaheim Ducks at the New York Rangers, Colorado at Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh at Utah (weaker/hedged leans only). - WNBA Finals Game 2: OVER 151.5 in Atlanta at Golden State — both teams shot in the low 30s in Game 1 and the total dropped from 153/154 to 151.5, so I'm expecting positive shooting regression. - ALCS Game 6: Tampa Bay Rays ML (conditional — only if it's Freddy Peralta vs a Cleveland bullpen game; if Gavin Williams starts on short rest, the first-five under is the alternative lean instead). - Monday Night Football: Washington +7.5 at San Francisco and a lean to the over — the undefeated 49ers are in a letdown spot, but Washington's travel (London, then East Coast, now West Coast) is why this doesn't make the cut as an actual play. Yesterday's context (prior shows only, NOT new bets today): Raiders +5.5 covered and Cowboys +1.5 — my favorite play — lost. Both originated on prior shows. 0:00 Cold open - near-perfect NFL week, favourite Cowboys play loses 4:18 Intro song 4:47 Show open - Monday Oct 19, calm before NBA tip-off 5:34 NBA preview plug - futures value / hedging explainer 6:11 NHL - Anaheim Ducks at New York Rangers 8:41 NHL - Colorado Avalanche at Philadelphia Flyers 10:37 NHL - San Jose Sharks at Toronto Maple Leafs 12:13 NHL - Pittsburgh Penguins at Utah 14:15 WNBA Finals Game 2 - Atlanta at Golden State, over lean 18:20 ALCS Game 6 - Tampa Bay Rays at Cleveland Guardians (Rays up 3-2) 25:42 NFL Monday Night - Washington at San Francisco, Washington +points lean 33:47 Wrap - no actual plays today, record/TikTok note, socials 37:31 Shout-outs / sign-off www.linktree.com/learntotoad | www.patreon.com/learntotoad X/IG: @LearnToToad | TikTok: @learntotoad #sportsbetting #NFL #MNF #ALCS #WNBAFinals #NHL

    Everyone Hates My Favorite NFL Pick

    Everyone hates my favorite NFL pick today — and that's exactly why I like it. Dallas just looked awful, Green Bay just looked great, and the books make their money off people betting what they saw last. I think you should do the opposite.

Last night's best bets (from the NFL night show, NOT new today): Raiders +5.5 vs Bills and Cowboys +1.5 vs Packers — my favorite play — revisited at 23:22 and in the final read. Full night show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYcY9FERpYU 0:00 Cold open - Oregon QB rant (Raiola benched) 2:30 Saturday recap - Florida & Tennessee outright wins, Vandy, Nevada by the hook 4:41 Today's slate preview - NHL + ALCS, no new plays 4:53 Intro song 6:22 Show open - Sunday morning, Houston lean in London 7:47 Haters & the record - 57% over ~200 days 8:53 NHL - Columbus Blue Jackets at Minnesota Wild 12:29 NHL - Carolina Hurricanes at Calgary Flames 15:41 ALCS Game 5 - Tampa Bay Rays at Cleveland Guardians 23:22 Final NFL reads - last night's Raiders +5.5 & Cowboys +1.5, "do the opposite" 25:58 Fantasy dilemma - Mike Evans vs George Pickens, Green Bay front seven 27:50 Final NFL market read - full Sunday slate 31:35 Wrap - contest entry, closing chat 33:22 Outro www.linktree.com/learntotoad | www.patreon.com/learntotoad X/IG: @LearnToToad | TikTok: @learntotoad #sportsbetting #NFL #NFLPicks #BestBets #ALCS #NHL
