Two basketball games and one football game today. We were over .500 yesterday with our NBA picks, but with a light slate today we are hoping to go undefeated!

NBA:

Oklahoma City (-8.5) at Indiana:

This game is a rematch of the 2025 NBA Finals, won by the Thunder. The big difference is the Pacers don’t have two of the top three players from that series, with Tyrese Haliburton injured and Myles Turner in Milwaukee. This is a road game for the Thunder and 8.5 is a lot of points, but we are still going to go with Oklahoma City to cover. Pick: Oklahoma City 111 Indiana 97. (Loss)

Denver at Golden State (-1.5)

The other team that has yet to play this season is the Nuggets. They start on the road against a Warriors team that has already beat the Lakers this season. This is a tough one for us because we haven’t seen the Nuggets play, but they usually match up well against the Warriors. Golden State has no one that can stop Jokic, so we are going to go with Denver in a high scoring affair. Pick: Denver 128 Golden State 123. (Loss)

NFL:

Minnesota at Los Angeles Chargers (-3.5):

The Carson Wentz experience continues for the Vikings as they head to Los Angeles to face the Chargers. We were never high on J.J McCarthy, but we still think he is the best option for the Vikings at quarterback. The Chargers still have issues with their offensive line, so we think this is going to be a low scoring game. We still like Los Angeles to cover, just because we don’t trust Wentz. Pick: Los Angeles Chargers 20 Minnesota 13. (Win)

Happy picking everyone!
