For my best free pick on the board here for Thursday I am looking at preseason NFL action and the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Detroit Lions. Lions are a Super Bowl contender and with those big expectations comes bettors that should flock to this kind of plus points but the Lions over recent history really do not play much of their talent in these games where as on the other side Cincinnati really has some positional battles going on. We will see some from Joe Burrow here on Thursday but really it’s the competition between Sean Clifford,Joe Flacco and Josh Johnson the latter two with a ton of NFL experience. Look for the Bengals to set the tone from this game on that they will be a factor in the AFC. Play on the Cincinnati Bengals minus the points rotation #106 ***DO NOT MISS ANY OFF MY FOOTBALL SELECTIONS THIS SEASON IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL I HAVE HIT 60% OVER THE LAST 2 SEASONS COMBINED AND NFL I WAS AT 58% PICK UP A SEASON PASS TODAY***

Our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies to defeat the Minnesota Twins on Thursday at 7:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones: Philadelphia will start Aaron Nola who just got injured in his last start but made some good pitches in that game and was respectable. The Phillies bring in a two game losing streak into today's Field Of Dreams game. They still have a better record on the road this season than at home, making this series a great opportunity to get some more wins. Minnesota will start Taj Bradley who has not been as good in games played away from home (this game is in Dyersville, Iowa). The Twins have also been shaky lately, losing seven of their L11 games. We're on the Phillies. AAA Sports

(#917) Philadelphia Phillies vs. (#918) Minnesota Twins | OVER | . Aaron Nola (3-9, 5.47 ERA) vs. Taj Bradley (9-4, 3.76 ERA) . Aaron Nola has been significantly better lately, especially over his past couple of starts. However, he's still giving up multiple runs in almost every outing. Nola got a bit knocked up in his last start as well, picking up a knee injury. But, he's ready to make the start on Thursday in the "Field Of Dreams" game against the Twins. Although Taj Bradley has been brilliant this season, I don't know how well he's going to fare against the Phillies in this one. Bradley has allowed three runs in each of his first two outings in August & he allowed four runs (three earned runs) in his only start ever against Philadelphia. I like the "over" in this one. Burns' Prediction: 7-4 Phillies.

Sean Murphy's TITANS-49ERS WINNER!
Tennessee Titans vs San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers +5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
My selection is on San Francisco plus the points over Tennessee at 9 pm et on Thursday. The injury bug has hit the 49ers again this training camp and it has many bettors shying away from them as they host the Titans in their preseason opener on Thursday. I think this line has gone too far in Ten...
My selection is on San Francisco plus the points over Tennessee at 9 pm et on Thursday. The injury bug has hit the 49ers again this training camp and it has many bettors shying away from them as they host the Titans in their preseason opener on Thursday. I think this line has gone too far in Tennessee's direction. I understand the support for the Titans here in August as they do have a strong preseason quarterback rotation with experienced backups in Mitchell Trubisky, Will Levis and even Hendon Hooker who has made a splash in the preseason in prior years. With that being said, San Francisco has plenty of upside at the position behind Brock Purdy as well with Mac Jones firmly planted as the backup but Kurtis Rourke and Adrian Martinez capable of making some preseason noise. I just don't see enough of a depth advantage for a rebuilding Tennessee team to warrant it laying a field goal on the road in its first preseason contest. Both teams went 2-1 last August but dropped their respective preseason openers. It's worth noting the 49ers faced the tougher opening matchup against a deep Broncos team that has taken the preseason seriously under head coach Sean Payton. Take San Francisco (8*). Be sure to pick up my 10* NFLX Total of the Year for 2026 which kicks off on Thursday! I went a profitable 9-5-1 in NFL preseason action last year and expect to deliver again this August; I'd love to have you on board!

My selection is on Texas over Los Angeles at 10:05 pm et on Thursday. The Rangers have the right guy on the mound to end their slide on Thursday in Jacob deGrom. He struck out nine over five innings of one-run ball against a surging Orioles offense last time out, successfully bouncing back from one of his worst outings of the season. It's been another terrific campaign for deGrom for the most part as he checks in with an 8-7 record and a 3.27 FIP. The Rangers will be seeing Angels starter Walbert Urena for the second time in just over a month. They couldn't scratch together any offense against him in their last meeting, but did make him work over four innings, drawing five walks while striking out just three times. With Urena coming off an ugly outing that saw him give up four earned runs over just 2 1/3 innings against the Marlins, I look for Texas' bats to cash in on their opportunities this time around and secure a 2-2 series split in Anaheim. Take Texas (8*). Be sure to pick up my 10* NFLX Total of the Year for 2026 which kicks off on Thursday! I went a profitable 9-5-1 in NFL preseason action last year and expect to deliver again this August; I'd love to have you on board!

At 10:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It took Shane Drohan six years (from being drafted in the 5th round by the Red Sox) to get to the Major Leagues. But now that the 27-year-old southpaw has made it, he is making the most of his opp...
At 10:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It took Shane Drohan six years (from being drafted in the 5th round by the Red Sox) to get to the Major Leagues. But now that the 27-year-old southpaw has made it, he is making the most of his opportunity. Now with Milwaukee after being traded there this past February, Drohan has logged a 6-4 record with a 3.87 ERA with 93 strikeouts and 28 walks in 93 innings. Drohan has pitched both as a reliever and starter in his rookie season, and tonight he will make his 14th start (to go with 10 appearances out of the bullpen) and it will be his first ever against the Dodgers. And the thing about Drohan is that he has done by far his work away from Milwaukee as in eight road games (six starts), he has gone 4-2 with a 3.13 ERA (vs. 2-2 and 4.37 in 15 home appearances). He even had a quality start in Denver on June 7 in a 12-4 victory over the Rockies to up his record to 3-1 at the time. Take the Brewers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take #209810 Atlanta -110 over New York Red Bulls (7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 15) We think this is a great spot for Atlanta. They have not been playing their best lately but this will be a homecoming for them as they have not played a home match since May 9, before the World Cup. Even though they lost last time out, we liked what we saw from them at Philly. They were up by two goals most of the match vs the Union but they were a man down and Philadelphia scored two goals in extra time to steal three points. As we stated, Atlanta has not played at home in a long time and we think this return will give them an extra burst of energy and it’s not like the Red Bulls are a great side. They are quite far above Atlanta in the standings but have a -10 goal differential compared to -14 for Atlanta, who have faced a real tough schedule on this road trip. It’s telling that Atlanta is a decent favorite here with their recent performances, and we think this is an amazing spot for them to pick up three points and some momentum for the second half of the season in front of the home fans.Free newsletter
