Jonathan Coachman is joined by expert sports bettors Mike McClure, Larry Hartstein, Justin Perri and Allan Bell on The Early Edge podcast. They give you their best bets for the NFL and college basketball for Friday, Jan. 21.

Coach kicks things off by reminding bettors that while Saturday has two terrific NFL games, there's also a spectacular UFC 270 card late night and our MMA expert Andrew Gombas has picks here. 

While Larry says he's all over the Titans in every way shape and form Saturday against the Bengals, his favorite prop for the day is from San Francisco at Green Bay and Niners tight end George Kittle Over 48.5 receiving yards. "For four weeks, he's been very quiet with 78 total receiving yards, but Kyle Shanahan said this week we have to find more ways to get him the ball." Larry notes that Kittle had 92 yards receiving in the Week 3 matchup vs. the Pack.

Both Larry and Mike expect plenty of passing from Cincinnati against the Titans as Larry leans Over 34.5 pass attempts for Bengals QB Joe Burrow and Mike is on Over 19.5 receiving yards for running back Joe Mixon, who has gone well past that number in three straight games. 

Allan praises the GOAT Tom Brady but expects Brady Over 0.5 interceptions Sunday vs. the Rams because he's facing Aaron Donald and Von Miller behind an injury-ravaged offensive line. 

The lone live play from Friday is Justin's pick of Under 145.5 points in the Mid-American Conference basketball game between Kent State and Buffalo. The Under is 5-1 in the Golden Flashes' past six overall.
