NFL: Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys •Moneyline: Texans to win (-370) •Spread: Texans -7.5 •Over/Under: Under 41.5 points Reasoning: The Texans, holding a 6-4 record, are favored by seven points against the struggling Cowboys, who have a 3-6 record following a substantial 34-6 defeat by the Eagles. Houston anticipates the return of star wide receiver Nico Collins, but their offense has been inconsistent and ranks low in early down EPA/play. The Cowboys’ defense, however, is formidable in applying pressure, led by Micah Parsons. On the other hand, the Cowboys’ offense is significantly hampered by the season-ending injury of Dak Prescott, leaving Cooper Rush to lead a poorly performing passing game. Dallas also struggles with their rushing offense and will face a strong Texans defense. The betting advice suggests favoring the under 41.5 points, expecting a low-scoring game dominated by the Texans’ run game and the Cowboys’ defensive pressure.  NBA: Indiana Pacers vs. Toronto Raptors •Prop Bet: RJ Barrett Over 37.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-125) Reasoning: With key players like Scottie Barnes, Jaylen Brown, and Immanuel Quickley out, RJ Barrett is getting all the touches he can handle in the 2024-25 season. He finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists in a loss to Toronto his last time out, and he’s cleared 37.5 PRA in four of his last 10 games. Indiana is just 23rd in the NBA in defensive rating, so this could be a big game for Barrett – especially with Aaron Nesmith out of the lineup.  NC State vs. Colgate •Spread: NC State -16 Reasoning: NC State, the reigning ACC champions, holds a 3-0 record and is predicted to win comfortably, with projections like KenPom suggesting an 82-66 outcome. Key players are contributing solid scoring averages, and the team exhibits good composure and ball-sharing. Colgate, despite being predicted to win the Patriot League, has had a rough start with a 1-2 record and is rebuilding with a young roster. NC State’s experience and current form make them strong favorites to cover the spread.  Michigan vs. Miami (OH) •Spread: Michigan -20 Reasoning: Michigan is utilizing this game as a warm-up before their Multi-Team Events (MTEs). Facing Miami (OH), who are considered a lower-tier opponent, Michigan is expected to dominate. This game serves as an opportunity for Michigan to fine-tune their strategies and rotations, making them likely to cover the substantial spread.  North Texas vs. McNeese •Spread: North Texas -12 Reasoning: North Texas is facing McNeese, a team that has shown vulnerabilities in their recent performances. North Texas’s solid defense and efficient offense position them well to cover the spread against McNeese.  Gonzaga vs. San Diego State •Spread: Gonzaga -8 Reasoning: Gonzaga, known for their high-powered offense and strong performances in early-season games, is favored against San Diego State. San Diego State’s defense may pose challenges, but Gonzaga’s experience and depth make them likely to cover the spread. Recommended Parlay: •Texans Moneyline (-370) •Gonzaga -8 •RJ Barrett Over 37.5 PRA (-125)
