Event: (909) Pittsburgh Pirates at (910) Cincinnati Reds
Sport/League: MLB (See all free MLB picks)
Date/Time: August 5, 2021 7PM EDT
Play: Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-120) W Crowe (RHP), S Gray (RHP) Must Start
The Reds are still playing hard as they are just four games behind the Padres in the NL for the final Wildcard spot. Cincinnati is a powerful offensive team which makes covering the -1.5 runline more likely tonight. The Reds have scored at least 5+ runs or more in 11 of their past 12 games, while the offensively challenged Pirates have scored 3 runs or less in 7 of their past 10 games.Comment

101 Dallas Cowboys at 102 Pittsburgh Steelers -2, 33
After a one-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, preseason pigskin and the Hall of Fame game return to our football reality on Thursday night.
The Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers featured attractions in the 2021 NFL Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.
Pittsburgh is coming off a 12-4 season in which it won its first 11 games and captured the AFC North title. Dallas went 6-10 in Mike McCarthy's first year as head coach and looked to reverse their fortunes a year ago and become postseason relative.
Cowboys' quarterback Dak Prescott has been ruled out of Thursday night's contest. Prescott and 15 other Dallas players didn't make the trip to Canton for the game. The Steelers, despite starting 11-0 last season, have abandoned the 2020 playbook and introduced new offensive coordinator Matt Canada and his new scheme. The Free Pick for the Hall of Fame game is Under the Total of 33 points.

Event: (671) Hamilton Tigercats at (672) Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Play: Hamilton Tigercats -140
#671 Hamilton Tigercats -140
The 2021 CFL season opens up with a Grey Cup rematch from the 2019 season. The TigerCats are on the road against the Blue Bombers.
Before the numbers were even out, I had a plan to take a look at Hamilton in some way, shape or form. However, when I saw them open up as -3.5 favourites, I wanted to dive a bit deeper and confirm injury reports on both sides to decide how I wanted to approach the side.
Hamilton is an incredibly talented team on both sides of the ball, they'll have their #1 QB Jeremiah Masoli back, and they are the healthier team.
Winnipeg will be without their star Canadian running back, Andrew Harris and a great receiver Davaris Daniels who's been great for the Bombers. Missing those two guys will hurt the Bombers in their home opener and give an edge to the Motivated Tiger-Cats.
Some might say that since it's been a year since the CFL has had game-play, it would be hard for a team like Hamilton to keep their motivation level high along with being anxious to get revenge. Still, many of the quotes I've seen from Ti-Cat players have proven to me that they are ready to go and start their season on a big note.
“I think some of the guys that was there in the past probably use it as a little bit of motivation, but we try to put that in the past. It’s a new year, new team, new opportunity,” said Banks. “Some people use it as a chip on their shoulder, some people don’t. Obviously with me being the competitor I am, I’m going to use it as a chip on my shoulder.”
“I’m excited,” said Banks regarding the league’s long layoff. “It’s been a long time — a year-and-a-half off without playing a real game. Obviously our last taste of a real game didn’t go our way, so I’m very anxious to get back out there, especially against the last opponent that we played.”
These are quotes from Hamilton star receiver Brandon Banks, speaking on their motivation and anxiousness to get revenge for their Grey Cup loss.
Look for Hamilton to get the job done and outlast the injury-riddled Blue Bombers.Comment
