The Coach is joined by top betting experts Mike McClure, Matt Severance, Allan Bell and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get prime plays for the the NFL, NBA, college football and Europa League picks for Thursday, Oct. 21.
Matt begins with a unique NFL overtime prop that is under consideration for Week 7. Allan looks ahead to the Chiefs-Titans matchup on Sunday and why he is eyeing the Over. Mike reveals why the Browns should not be underestimated on Thursday night. Larry looks at how Cleveland's injuries are impacting prop plays.
The Coach delivers the SportsLine Play of the Day from Europa League action, backing both West Ham and Genk not to score at -110 at 3 p.m. ET.
In the Thursday night game, Mike is on the Browns -2 over the Broncos at 8:20 p.m. ET. "I love this spot for the Browns, they're at home," he says. "Yes, they been dealing with injuries. But a fun fact about Case Keenum. He is the all-time leader in passing TDs in college football. He also has more career TDs than Teddy Bridgewater. He has a lot of chemistry with Kevin Stefanski from their time in Minnesota. I think he's going to be able to manage the game very well."
Allan agrees on the Keenum angle and is taking the Over of 41 in Denver-Cleveland. Keenum is certainly capable of opening up the Browns passing game.
Matt is coming off a 6-1 day and is rolling with the Heat +2.5 over the Bucks as his NBA pick. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. ET. This may be a letdown game for Milwaukee and Miami is ready to open strong after a good offseason. in the NHL, he is taking the Coyotes +1.5 over the Oilers at 10 p.m. ET. Phoenix has not played well so far but should be able to hang tough. Matt's college football play is LSU and Ole Miss under 76.5 on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET. He says the total is "absurd." He then drops a six-team NFL parlay for Sunday.
Larry's featured NBA prop is John Collins Over 14.5 points in Mavericks-Hawks at 7:30 p.m. ET. Collins has torched Dallas in recent matchups. In the NFL, he is going with the Bengals +6.5 against the Ravens on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Cincinnati has been looking forward to this showdown.
