49ers vs Vikings touchdown scorer predictions at +145 & +250

Picking a pair of wide receivers to reach the end zone turned out well when both of my Thursday Night Football TD scorer picks cashed in the Jaguars vs Saints game at +240 and and +255 odds, and I’m taking a wide route once again for Monday Night Football. The 49ers have a point to prove after losing their unbeaten tag in Cleveland last week, and while the Vikings have taken a step back this season with a 2-4 start, they are not often involved in dull games, so the final game of the Week 7 slate should be well worth watching. B e sure to also check out our full 49ers vs Vikings predictions , but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for Monday Night Football. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, SF (+145 at DraftKings) With Deebo Samuel ruled out due to a hairline fracture of his shoulder, Brandon Aiyuk is the undisputed WR1 for the 49ers — as if he hadn’t been already. Aiyuk has more targets, receiving yards and receiving touchdown s than Samu...

Browns vs Steelers touchdown scorer predictions at +110 & +1600

Week 2 of the NFL season has a treat for Monday Night Football fans with two games, although they do overlap somewhat. The final game of the slate between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers will kick off at 8:15 pm ET on ABC, while the Saints and Panthers matchup is already in progress on ESPN, and it will provide the finale to the second week of action at the Acrisure Stadium. It’s a fascinating AFC North matchup with the Browns coming off a big home win over the Bengals, while the Steelers are aiming to bounce back in their second home Game after a heavy loss to San Francisco. My favorite touchdown scorer bets for the Game below include one pick that’s probably not a great surprise and a big-priced longshot. Be sure to also check out our full   NFL Week 2 predictions .

Good morning, Pickswise Nation! The Open wraps up on Sunday and we’ve still got plenty of baseball to enjoy, plus F1 and NASCAR action on the track, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better. About Last Night Wild night on the diamond Saturday was another jam-packed day of MLB action, with the biggest result coming in the AL East, as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Tampa Bay Rays to claim sole possession of first place. Elsewhere, the Dodgers demolished the Rangers, the Mariners beat the Blue Jays and the A’s upset the Astros in Oakland. Harman closes in on Open crown The story of the British Open continues to be Brian Harman, as he now holds a 5-shot lead over Cameron Young and a 6-shot edge over John Rahm, who shot 8-under par as part of a terrific Saturday afternoon stretch of Golf . Sepp Straka and Jason Day round out the top 5, but the chase for the Open Championship feels like a 3-horse race at this point. Harman is just 18 holes away from a hi...

The 2023 NBA All-Star starters were announced on Thursday night. In the West, it's LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry, Zion Williamson and Nikola Jokic. In the East, it's Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum and Kevin Durant.  READ: All-Star starter snubs With that out of the way, we now shift our All-Star attention to the 14 reserve s (two guards, three frontcourt players and two wild cards per conference), which will be selected by the league's coaches and announced Thursday, Feb. 2.  Below are my predictions for who will make the cut, but this doesn't necessarily reflect who I think should make the cut.  Western Conference guards ...
