Friday soccer bets
- Game: Cremonese at Pisa (2:45 p.m. ET) on Paramount+
- The Pick: Cremonese +0.5 (-160)
“Pisa are one of the three teams left in Serie A play, who 10 matches into the season, are yet to find a single win,” SportsLine soccer expert Jon Eimer said. “While they are struggling to win, they have managed to become a bit of a draw specialist, with their last four matches straight ending with no victor. This is a team that either plays up or plays down to their competition, but never seems to have enough to claim all three points. While I wouldn’t be shocked to see another draw, I can’t ignore a better Cremonese side on the spread.”

Friday NBA best bets
- Game: Boston Celtics vs. Orland Magic (7 p.m. ET)
- The Pick: Celtics +3.5 (-108)
It’s no surprise the Celtics will go through a learning curve to playing without Jayson Tatum (Achilles), but after dropping their first three games of the season, the Celtics are 4-2 over their last six games, and one of those two losses came by only two points, as the model likes Boston to cover as 4.5-point underdogs on Friday. The Magic are coming off a 127-112 loss to a Hawks team without Trae Young, and they are off to a 3-5 start this season. The model projects the Celtics to cover in 51% of simulations.

Friday college basketball best bets
- Game: Georgetown vs. Maryland (6 p.m. ET)
- The Pick: Maryland -6.5 (-105)
Maryland took care of its business with a 22-point victory over Coppin State in its opener, coming off a 27-9 season and reaching the Sweet 16. Maryland lost to the eventual national champion Florida Gators and the Terrapins have built another strong roster this season. Pharrell Payne, a Texas A&M transfer, scored 21 points in the season-opener. Meanwhile, Georgetown is coming off an 18-16 season and missing the NCAA Tournament. This will be their first meeting since 2016, but Maryland has won the last two head-to-head matchups. The model projects Maryland to cover in 59% of simulations.
