The projection model, which has a 70% win rate on top NBA picks, favors Detroit over Philadelphia, the Hornets over Toledo, and Green Bay over New England.

SportsLine’s projection model has issued its top three betting picks for the upcoming slate of games.
The model favors the Detroit Pistons to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento State to cover the spread against Toledo, and the Green Bay Packers to beat the New England Patriots. These selections form a parlay that would return a payout of +548 for a $100 wager at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The NBA selection rests on Detroit’s defensive strength. The Pistons hold the best record in the Eastern Conference at 6-1. Their defense allowed the 76ers just 26% from beyond the arc in a previous meeting on October 27. Cade Cunningham scored a season-high 33 points in Monday’s win over Charlotte. The model projects Detroit to win 62% of the time in simulations.
College football offers a different angle. Sacramento State is a 25.5-point underdog against Toledo. The Hornets won their first FBS conference game last week by beating Kent State 31-10. They forced five turnovers in that contest. Toledo has failed to cover the spread in two previous double-digit favorite spots this season. The model projects Sacramento State to cover the spread in 74% of simulations.
NFL expert R.J. White provides the Sunday pick. He favors the Packers, who are three-point underdogs. White points out that Green Bay has held the Cowboys, Lions, and Panthers to 20 points or fewer in three straight games. He notes that the Patriots have played weak defensive opponents recently. White believes the line is unlikely to rise.
