The final margin obscures a competitive first half: Missouri State led 28-24 at halftime before Delaware took control.

At Sam Houston, he finished 14-of-30 for 127 yards and a touchdown, while adding 54 rushing yards on 22 attempts. Rodney Tisdale Jr. remains another option; his official season line is 79-of-118, 66.9%, 856 yards, four TDs and two interceptions.

Western Kentucky: WRs K. Hutchinson and N. Johnson, plus RBs Adrion Boyd and Sincere Baines, are listed as questionable with undisclosed injuries.

Last game recap: Sam Houston lost 30-24 at home to New Mexico State last Wednesday. The Bearkats managed only 11 rushing yards and nine first downs. Landyn Locke returned after a leg injury and connected with Tim Burns Jr. on an 81-yard touchdown, while a blocked-punt recovery supplied another touchdown. New Mexico State’s James Jones rushed for 178 yards, helping the Aggies control the closing possession.

Missouri State lost 61-38 at Delaware despite Henry Belin IV completing 26 of 35 passes for 337 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Isaiah Myers caught 11 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears led at halftime, but turnovers and their inability to stop Delaware’s offense turned the second half into a decisive defeat.

QB matchup:

Sam Houston — Landyn Locke: 147-of-236, 62.3%, 1,653 yards, 12 TDs and five interceptions. He threw for 235 yards, one touchdown and one interception against New Mexico State. His leg bears watching after last week’s exit and return.
Missouri State — Henry Belin IV: 73-of-108, 67.6%, 887 yards, six TDs and four interceptions. Belin has thrown for 637 yards and four touchdowns over his last two games, though three interceptions during that stretch have limited the benefit.

Sam Houston: TE Brock Kuhl is out for the season with an undisclosed injury.

Locke returned from his leg issue last week, and offensive-line injuries have also affected the running game.
Missouri State: TE James Rexroat, RB Josh Joyner, RB Dubar and WR Mekhi Miller are listed as questionable with undisclosed injuries. The running-back availability matters against a Sam Houston defense allowing more than 200 rushing yards per game.

Key trends and situations:

SHU is: 1)0-4 ATS last 4 overall. 2)4-1 Over last 4 road games. Mo St is: 1)5-1 Under last 6 in October. 2)4-1 Over last 5 home games. 3)0-4 ATS last 4 overall.

Thursday Night Football Betting Preview — October 22, 2026

Thursday’s schedule features New England at Chicago in the NFL, plus three college matchups: Liberty at Kennesaw State, James Madison at Appalachian State and East Carolina at Memphis.

NFL: New England Patriots at Chicago Bears
8:15 p.m. ET | Prime Video | Soldier Field
Odds: Chicago -3 | Total: 50.5.

SU ATS O/U


New England	4–2	4–2	3–3
Chicago	4–2	4–2	2–4

Last three games

Team	Date	Opponent	Result	ATS result
Patriots	Oct. 18	vs. Jets	W 26–19	Lost, -7.5
Patriots	Oct. 11	vs. Raiders	W 45–17	Covered, -3.5
Patriots	Oct. 4	at Buffalo	W 29–26	Covered, +7.5
Bears	Oct. 18	at Atlanta	W 31–23	Covered, -1.5
Bears	Oct. 11	at Green Bay	L 7–31	Lost, -1.5
Bears	Oct. 4	vs. Jets	W 23–12	Covered, -3.5

Last-game recap: New England won its third straight, beating the Jets 26–19. Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes without an interception, although two lost fumbles helped keep the game close. Chicago welcomed Caleb Williams back from a hamstring injury and defeated Atlanta 31–23. Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and a touchdown as Chicago built a 31–7 fourth-quarter lead before Atlanta rallied late.

Quarterback matchup: Maye enters with 1,463 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 63.9% completion rate. His recent improvement is substantial: 878 yards, 10 touchdowns and one interception over the last three games. Williams has 712 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception, completing 72.5% across three appearances. His Atlanta performance showed how efficiently Chicago can operate with its starter healthy.

Coaching angles: Ben Johnson’s offense can test New England with formation changes, motion and different personnel packages. The bigger question for Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is how much protection they can provide Maye on a short week. New England’s offensive line sustained multiple injuries against the Jets, and receiver Romeo Doubs has gone on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Quick throws, additional protection and an effective running game become especially valuable.

Vrabel also brings a meaningful historical betting angle: 29–14 ATS as an underdog of three points or more.

Matchup history: These teams did not meet in 2025. New England won the previous meeting 19–3 at Chicago in 2024, covering as a 6.5-point underdog.

Prop Bets:

First TD scorer

Rhomondre Stevenson +700

Anytime TD scorer

Rome Odunze +180

Drake Maye +340

AJ Brown +145

College Football: Liberty at Kennesaw State
7 p.m. ET | CBS Sports Network | Fifth Third Stadium
Odds: Liberty -9.5 | Total: 50.5.

	SU	ATS	O/U
Liberty	5–1	4–2	2–4
Kennesaw State	1–5	4–2	1–5

Last three games

	Date	Opponent	Result	ATS result
Liberty	Oct. 8	vs. Sam Houston	W 35–3	Covered, -13.5
Liberty	Oct. 2	at Delaware	W 30–14	Covered, -6.5
Liberty	Sept. 24	at Coastal Carolina	W 34–17	Covered, -2.5
Kennesaw State	Oct. 14	at Missouri State	L 21–24	Lost, -2.5
Kennesaw State	Oct. 7	vs. Jacksonville State	L 26–27	Covered, +2.5
Kennesaw State	Sept. 26	at Arkansas State	L 14–17	Covered, +6.5

Last-game recap: Liberty overwhelmed Sam Houston 35–3 before its bye. Deshawn Purdie completed 10 of 14 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown, while Ethan Vasko added two rushing scores. The Flames controlled the game through their rushing attack and defense.

Kennesaw State suffered another narrow defeat, losing 24–21 at Missouri State on a field goal as time expired. Rickie Collins threw for 260 yards and a touchdown without an interception. Receiver Dylan Gary caught 10 passes for 135 yards and a score. The Owls’ last three losses have come by a combined seven points.

Quarterback matchup: Purdie gives Liberty a passer who has avoided interceptions this season, while Vasko supplies an additional rushing threat. Collins has thrown for 293 and 260 yards in his last two games, completing 50 of 68 passes combined. His recent accuracy gives Kennesaw a better chance to sustain possessions than its 1–5 record might suggest.

Coaching angles: Jamey Chadwell has extra preparation time: Liberty last played October 8, compared with October 14 for Kennesaw. Chadwell is 12–1 SU in Thursday games at the Division I level. Jerry Mack’s challenge is getting the Owls to finish games after three consecutive losses by three points or fewer.

Trends and series history: Liberty has covered four straight games. Kennesaw’s 4–2 ATS record shows how differently its season has played out for bettors compared with the standings. The Owls have won the last three series meetings, including 48–42 in double overtime at Liberty in 2025.

James Madison at Appalachian State
7 p.m. ET | ESPNU | Kidd Brewer Stadium
Odds: James Madison -10.5 | Total: 56.5.

	SU	ATS	O/U
James Madison	7–0	6–1	4–3
Appalachian State	4–2	4–2	3–3

Last three games

Team	Date	Opponent	Result	ATS result
JMU	Oct. 17	vs. Georgia State	W 49–22	Covered, -7.5
JMU	Oct. 10	at Georgia Southern	W 27–24	Lost, -7.5
JMU	Oct. 3	vs. Marshall	W 45–17	Covered, -14.5
App State	Oct. 16	at Coastal Carolina	W 35–32	Covered, -1.5
App State	Oct. 10	vs. Old Dominion	L 3–10	Lost, -8.5
App State	Sept. 26	at NC State	L 31–41	Covered, +12.5

Last-game recap: JMU remained unbeaten with a 49–22 victory over Georgia State, producing 515 total yards. Camden Coleman and JC Evans combined for three passing touchdowns and two rushing scores. George Pettaway added 119 rushing yards, his fourth consecutive 100-yard performance.

App State erased a 24–14 halftime deficit to beat Coastal Carolina 35–32. Jaquari Lewis scored four rushing touchdowns, while Henry Hasselbeck played the entire second half and finished with 125 rushing yards on 21 attempts. The Mountaineers generated 516 total yards.

Quarterback matchup: Coleman has 1,335 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and one interception, with Evans also contributing in JMU’s rotation. App State’s Malachi Singleton has 1,429 passing yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions, but his ankle injury makes availability and mobility important considerations. The school’s latest preview listed him questionable and confirmed that he split snaps with Hasselbeck last week.

Coaching angles: First-year JMU coach Billy Napier has maintained an unbeaten start with a balanced offense and a defense allowing 16 points per game. Second-year App State coach Dowell Loggains must determine the right quarterback workload while preparing for a JMU rushing attack averaging 223.7 yards. App State has one additional day between games and a sold-out home stadium.

Trends and series history: JMU is 6–1 ATS and won last year’s meeting 58–10, covering -20.5. However, App State won the previous two meetings in 2023 and 2024. JMU has scored at least 45 points in three of its last four games; the total has moved down from an opening 57.5 to 56.5.

East Carolina at Memphis
7:30 p.m. ET | ESPN2 | Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium
Odds: Memphis -10.5 | Total: 54.5

Team	SU	ATS	O/U
East Carolina	3–3	2–4	1–5
Memphis	5–2	4–3	4–3

Last three games

Team	Date	Opponent	Result	ATS result
ECU	Oct. 15	at UAB	L 17–30, OT	Lost, -5.5
ECU	Oct. 10	vs. Rice	W 28–12	Covered, -9.5
ECU	Sept. 26	vs. North Carolina Central	W 42–9	Lost, -37.5
Memphis	Oct. 16	at Tulane	L 17–31	Lost, -6.5
Memphis	Oct. 10	vs. UAB	W 38–13	Covered, -15.5
Memphis	Oct. 3	at Charlotte	W 59–8	Covered, -18.5

Last-game recap: ECU let a late lead slip away at UAB before losing 30–17 in overtime. Emory Williams completed 18 of 27 passes for 126 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The Pirates’ limited passing production again left little margin for error.

Memphis lost 31–17 at Tulane despite outgaining the Green Wave 488–325. Six turnovers repeatedly erased scoring opportunities. Marcus Stokes threw for 306 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, and Memphis scored on only one of five second-half possessions that reached the red zone.

Quarterback matchup: Williams has 655 passing yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions after taking over from Mitch Griffis. Stokes brings the more productive season line: 1,841 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. ECU needs Williams to create enough passing offense to prevent Memphis from concentrating on the running game. Stokes needs cleaner decisions after last week’s turnover problems.

Coaching angles: First-year Memphis coach Charles Huff faces a response test after his first conference defeat with the Tigers. His emphasis should be ball security and finishing drives. ECU coach Blake Harrell’s team needs more from an offense whose passing inconsistency has persisted despite the quarterback change. ECU has seven days between games; Memphis has six.

New Mexico State at Sam Houston
8:00 p.m. ET | ESPN2 | Elliott T. Bowers Stadium, Huntsville, Texas
Odds: New Mexico State -2.5 | Total: 45.5

Records

	SU	ATS	O/U	Conf
New Mexico State	2–4	3–3	2–4	1–1
Sam Houston	1–5	3–3	2–4	0–2

Last game — New Mexico State: Lost 22–3 at FIU on October 7. Three turnovers undermined an otherwise competitive defensive effort. James Jones rushed for 89 yards, while defensive end Gabe Peterson recorded two sacks and safety Nick Session made 13 tackles. The Aggies return after a bye, giving them 13 full days between games.

Last game — Sam Houston: Lost 16–3 at home to Western Kentucky on October 14. The defense held WKU to 276 yards, but the Bearkats produced only 177 yards themselves. Sam Houston has scored just three points in each of its first two conference games.

Quarterback matchup

New Mexico State — Adam Damante: Expected to lead the offense after starting the past two games. Season totals: 43-of-70, 61.4%, 477 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Earlier starter Trey Hedden has completed 52.4% for 906 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions. Damante’s ball security is particularly important after the turnover problems at FIU.
Sam Houston — Landyn Locke: 129-of-205, 62.9%, 1,418 yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. His season production is stronger, but his last three starts have yielded approximately 148 passing yards per game with two touchdowns and three interceptions.

Atlanta at Orlando
7:00 p.m. | Orlando -3 | Total 235
TV: Regional broadcasts; NBA League Pass out of market.

Key injuries: Atlanta is without frontcourt players Mouhamed Gueye and Henri Veesaar. Orlando lists Anthony Black, Jonathan Isaac, Noah Penda and Izaiyah Nelson out. 2025–26 meetings: Atlanta swept all four, most recently winning 130–101 in Orlando.

Offense/Defense: Atlanta averaged 118.5 points and allowed 116.0; Orlando averaged 115.7 and allowed 115.1. Atlanta shot 37.1% from three, while Orlando allowed opponents to make 35.3%.

Matchup analysis: Jalen Johnson’s creation and Atlanta’s perimeter ball movement challenge Orlando’s size. Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane give the Magic multiple scoring options, but Black and Isaac’s absences reduce their defensive flexibility. Atlanta added Dorian Finney-Smith for additional wing depth.

Milwaukee at Washington
7:00 p.m. | Washington -4.5 | Total 239
TV: Monumental Sports Network

Key injuries: Washington rookie AJ Dybantsa is out with an ankle injury, along with Tristan Vukcevic and Jamir Watkins. Milwaukee rookie Nate Ament is listed as probable in the latest reported update. 2025–26 meetings: Washington won three of four, including the final three.

Offense/Defense: Milwaukee averaged 110.6 points, allowing 116.8. Washington averaged 112.9, allowing 124.9. The Wizards also surrendered 47.8 rebounds per game, making defensive rebounding a major area requiring improvement.

Roster/matchup: Milwaukee’s revised core includes Tyler Herro and Myles Turner; Washington now features Anthony Davis, Trae Young and Deandre Ayton among its options. The tactical question is whether Washington’s interior talent can generate efficient offense without exposing its guards defensively.

Minnesota at Miami
7:30 p.m. | ESPN | Miami PK | Total 242.5

Key injuries: Minnesota is without Donte DiVincenzo, recovering from an Achilles injury. Miami reserve center Vladislav Goldin is questionable. 2025–26 meetings: Minnesota won both, 125–115 and 122–94.

Roster changes: Minnesota acquired LaMelo Ball, with Naz Reid going to Charlotte. Miami added Giannis Antetokounmpo, creating a powerful interior combination with Bam Adebayo.

Offense/Defense: Minnesota scored 118.0 and allowed 114.6 per game. Miami scored 120.9 and allowed 118.5. Those numbers describe the previous rosters, making them starting points rather than reliable forecasts for this matchup.

Matchup analysis: Anthony Edwards and Ball can stretch Miami’s defense through penetration and perimeter creation. Miami’s advantage is its ability to attack the rim, draw fouls and test Minnesota’s frontcourt depth.

Charlotte at Brooklyn
7:30 p.m. | Brooklyn -2.5 | Total 218.5
TV: YES / Charlotte regional coverage.

Key injuries: Charlotte is without Coby White, Kon Knueppel, Grant Williams and Kylan Boswell. Brooklyn lists Tyler Bilodeau out. 2025–26 meetings: Charlotte won two of three, including 117–86 in the most recent meeting

Roster changes: Charlotte moved LaMelo Ball for Naz Reid and traded Miles Bridges to Phoenix for Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale. Those changes, combined with the injuries, substantially alter the team that covered 50 games last season.

Offense/Defense: Charlotte averaged 116.0 points, allowing 111.2. Brooklyn averaged 105.9, allowing 115.9, while opponents shot 49.7% against the Nets.

Chicago at Toronto
7:30 p.m. | Toronto -9.5 | Total 236.5
TV: Regional coverage.

Key injuries: Chicago is without Nic Claxton, while Isaac Okoro and several rotation players carry availability concerns. Toronto lists reserve center Nate Bittle out. 2025–26 meetings: Toronto swept all three by 16, nine and 30 points.

Roster changes: Toronto acquired Kawhi Leonard, sending Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and draft assets to the Clippers. Chicago’s revised roster includes Norman Powell.

Offense/Defense: Chicago averaged 116.3 points but allowed 121.5. Toronto scored 114.6, allowed 111.8, and forced 16.1 turnovers per game.

Matchup analysis: Toronto’s wing defenders can disrupt Chicago’s passing lanes, while Claxton’s absence weakens the Bulls’ interior resistance. Chicago needs Josh Giddey to limit turnovers and generate clean perimeter opportunities.

Indiana at New Orleans
8:00 p.m. | Indiana -3.5 | Total 239.5
TV: Regional coverage / Gulf Coast Sports.

Key injuries: Indiana is without Aaron Nesmith, T.J. McConnell and Johnny Furphy. New Orleans had no players listed on the matchup injury report checked. 2025–26 meetings: The teams split, with New Orleans winning 128–109 and Indiana answering 127–119.

Offense/Defense: Indiana averaged 112.4 points, allowing 120.4. New Orleans averaged 115.5, allowing 120.0. Both allowed opponents to shoot at least 47.7%.

Roster/matchup: Indiana’s options include Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, Ivica Zubac and Kelly Oubre Jr. New Orleans counters with Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III and Bennedict Mathurin. Nesmith’s absence makes Indiana’s defensive assignments against New Orleans’ wings more difficult.

Utah at Memphis
8:00 p.m. | Memphis -1 | Total 239
TV: KJZZ / Memphis regional coverage.

Key injuries: Utah is without Jusuf Nurkic and several reserves. Memphis big man Isaiah Stewart has an ankle injury; listings vary between questionable and a later doubtful report. 2025–26 meetings: Split 2–2; every game produced at least 237 combined points.

Offense/Defense: Utah averaged 117.6 points and allowed 126.0. Memphis scored 114.7 and allowed 120.7. Both struggled to defend the three-point line and finish possessions on the glass

Roster changes: Utah now features Jaren Jackson Jr. alongside Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George. Memphis has moved on from Ja Morant, who joined Portland, making its offensive creation a major early-season question.

Dallas at Houston
8:30 p.m. | Houston -8.5 | Total 229
TV: Space City Home Network / KFAA.

Key injuries: Dallas lists Dereck Lively II and Santi Aldama out; Jett Howard also has an availability concern. Houston’s Steven Adams and Julian Phillips are questionable. 2025–26 meetings: Split 2–2; Houston won the latest 111–107.

Offense/Defense: Dallas averaged 114.1 points, allowing 119.6. Houston averaged 115.2, allowing 110.0. Houston’s 48.1 rebounds per game against Dallas’s 44.7 highlights a potential possession advantage.

Matchup analysis: Cooper Flagg leads Dallas against a Houston core featuring Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson. Marcus Smart adds another perimeter defender. Dallas’s missing big men increase the challenge of containing Sengun and preventing second-chance opportunities.

Golden State at Los Angeles Lakers
10:00 p.m. | ESPN | Lakers -6 | Total 233.5

Key injuries: Golden State is without Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski. Stephen Curry’s latest report is probable with an ankle issue, with no expected minutes restriction. Lakers guard Collin Sexton is questionable.

Offense/Defense: Golden State averaged 114.6 points, allowing 115.2. The Lakers averaged 116.3, allowing 114.6, and led the league in field-goal percentage at 50.2%.

Roster/matchup: The Lakers have rebuilt around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves following LeBron James’ departure, with Walker Kessler and Quentin Grimes among the additions. Golden State’s absences leave Curry carrying a substantial creation burden.

Phoenix at Portland
10:00 p.m. | Portland -2.5 | Total 231.5
TV: Arizona regional coverage / KUNP.

Key injuries: Phoenix center Mark Williams is out; Luke Kennard is questionable. Portland’s Deni Avdija is questionable with an ankle injury, while other listings include Shaedon Sharpe out. 2025–26 meetings: Phoenix won two of three, but Portland won the latest 92–77.

Roster changes: Phoenix added Miles Bridges. Portland added Ja Morant, joining a group featuring Jrue Holiday, Avdija and Donovan Clingan.

Offense/Defense: Phoenix averaged 112.6 points, allowing 111.1. Portland averaged 115.5, allowing 115.8, but committed 17.3 turnovers per game.

Sacramento at Los Angeles Clippers
10:30 p.m. | Clippers -4.5 | Total 227.5

Key injuries: Sacramento lists Malik Monk questionable, with Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell out. The Clippers are without Bradley Beal, Brandon Ingram and Max Strus, among others.

2025–26 meetings: The Clippers won three of four, including 138–109 in the most recent meeting.

Roster changes: Los Angeles traded Kawhi Leonard to Toronto, acquiring Ingram and Gradey Dick. Ingram’s absence delays the Clippers’ opportunity to evaluate that new scoring combination.

Offense/Defense: Sacramento averaged 111.0 points, allowing 121.0. The Clippers averaged 113.8, allowing 112.6. Sacramento allowed opponents to shoot 49.4%, a major defensive vulnerability.

Team	SU	ATS	O/U	Points scored	Points allowed
Boston	56–26	49–33–0	30–52–0	114.9	107.2

Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons
3:00 p.m. ET | Little Caesars Arena | Detroit -1.5

Key injuries: Boston’s principal rotation is available; two-way guard Devin Carter is out with mononucleosis. Detroit forward Taurean Prince is questionable for personal reasons. Detroit’s main starters are expected to play.

Key additions/subtractions:

Boston added: Paul George, Mitchell Robinson, Mike Conley and rookie Chris Cenac Jr. Departed: Jaylen Brown and Nikola Vučević.
Detroit added: John Collins and Isaiah Joe. Departed: Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart.

Last four meetings


Oct. 26, 2025	Detroit 119–113
Nov. 26, 2025	Boston 117–114
Dec. 15, 2025	Detroit 112–105
Jan. 19, 2026	Detroit 104–103

Detroit won the series 3–1 SU. The four combined totals were 232, 231, 217 and 207.

Principal matchup: Jayson Tatum versus Detroit’s wing defenders including Ausar Thompson, with Cade Cunningham controlling the other end. Last season, Tatum averaged 21.8 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists in a limited 16-game regular season due to coming off an innjury. Cunningham averaged 23.9 points and 9.9 assists; Jalen Duren contributed 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds.

Offense vs. Defense: Boston faces a Detroit defense that allowed 109.6 points per game. The Celtics need Tatum’s creation and perimeter shooting to pull Detroit away from its preferred defensive positions. Robinson offers offensive rebounding and rim protection.

Detroit’s Cunningham–Duren actions test Boston’s interior coverage. Collins supplies another finishing option, while Joe adds shooting. Boston’s 107.2 points allowed last season establishes a strong defensive baseline, although its personnel has changed.

Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks
7:00 p.m. ET | Madison Square Garden | New York approximately -4.5 | Total 231.5

Key injuries:

Philadelphia out: Dominick Barlow—back; Tacko Fall—quadriceps; Ariel Hukporti—Achilles, season.
Philadelphia questionable: Anfernee Simons—hamstring; Adem Bona—foot; Dean Wade—ankle.
Philadelphia’s expected starting five—Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, LeBron James and Joel Embiid—was available on Monday night’s report.
New York’s reviewed report lists no injuries.

Key additions/subtractions:

Philadelphia added: LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Anfernee Simons, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dean Wade. Departed: Paul George, Andre Drummond, Quentin Grimes, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Kyle Lowry.
New York added: Andre Drummond, with James Wiseman retained for additional center depth. Departed: Mitchell Robinson, Ariel Hukporti and Jeremy Sochan.

2025–26 matchups: The regular-season series finished 2–2:


Dec. 19, 2025	Philadelphia 116–107
Jan. 3, 2026	Philadelphia 130–119
Jan. 24, 2026	New York 112–109
Feb. 11, 2026	New York 138–89

New York then swept the playoff series 4–0, winning 137–98, 108–102, 108–94 and 144–114. That playoff series was 3–1 ATS for New York and 2–2 O/U using OddsTrader’s listed lines.

Principal players: Last season, Maxey averaged 28.3 points, Embiid 26.9, Brown 28.7 with Boston, and James 20.9 points/7.2 assists with the Lakers. New York counters with Jalen Brunson’s 26.0 points/6.8 assists and Karl-Anthony Towns’ 20.1 points/11.9 rebounds.

Offense vs. Defense: Philadelphia’s new starting unit has considerably more creation than last season’s team, so its previous scoring average is only a starting point. James can organize possessions, Maxey can attack in transition and Embiid can draw help inside. The question is how quickly those responsibilities fit together.

New York’s offense can target Philadelphia’s depleted reserve frontcourt. Brunson–Towns actions force difficult choices between containing the ball and staying attached to shooters. Philadelphia’s injuries could also increase the starters’ workload.

Matchup analysis: New York has the continuity advantage, while Philadelphia has the potential to outperform its historical offensive numbers. The bench minutes could decide the spread, especially when Embiid rests. New York must replace Robinson’s offensive rebounding, making Drummond’s role immediately relevant.

Keys to win: Philadelphia needs clean offensive spacing, controlled turnovers and competitive non-Embiid minutes. New York needs to pressure the reserves and make Philadelphia defend multiple actions.

Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs

9:30 p.m. ET | Frost Bank Center | San Antonio -2.5 | Total 231.5

This is a rematch of last season’s seven-game Western Conference finals.

Key injuries: The latest Monday evening update indicates Chet Holmgren is available after missing preseason with a quadriceps injury, superseding earlier uncertain listings. Oklahoma City lists Nikola Topic, Thomas Sorber and Otega Oweh out. San Antonio lists Tobias Harris out with a calf strain and Jayden Quaintance out.

Key additions/subtractions:

Oklahoma City added: Rookies Aday Mara, Otega Oweh and Bennett Stirtz. Departed: Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Branden Carlson.
San Antonio added: Tobias Harris and rookies Jayden Quaintance and Tarris Reed Jr. Departed: Kelly Olynyk, Mason Plumlee, Bismack Biyombo and Lindy Waters III.

2025–26 matchups


Dec. 13, 2025	San Antonio 111–109
Dec. 23, 2025	San Antonio 130–110
Dec. 25, 2025	San Antonio 117–102
Jan. 13, 2026	Oklahoma City 119–98
Feb. 4, 2026	San Antonio 116–106

San Antonio went 4–1 SU and ATS, with 2 Overs and 3 Unders, using the listed closing lines. The Spurs then won the conference finals 4–3, finishing with 118–91 and 111–103 victories in Games 6 and 7.

Principal matchup: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander versus San Antonio’s perimeter defenders, with Victor Wembanyama protecting the basket. Last season, Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 32.7 points; Wembanyama averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks.

Expected lineups: San Antonio plans to use De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, Devin Vassell and Wembanyama. Oklahoma City’s expected group is Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams, Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein.

ATS: Why Betting on Basketball Early Matters

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Why Betting Basketball Early Matters

A basketball season offers months of opportunities, but the opening weeks deserve your attention. Betting Basketball early means having selections available from the start, and establishing a consistent approach.

Start With a Plan

Joining early gives you time to establish your basketball bankroll, understand the unit recommendations, and build a routine for receiving and playing selections. Those habits matter throughout a long season.

The goal is to approach each release with a clear plan. Set a consistent value for your unit, stay within your budget, and avoid increasing wagers simply because you want to recover a loss. Getting organized before the schedule becomes busy makes that discipline easier to maintain.

Early college basketball can offer an added advantage

With transfers, incoming freshmen, new coaches, and changing rotations, teams can look very different from the previous season. Oddsmakers have access to roster information, but knowing the names is different from knowing how those players will perform together. Before meaningful game results accumulate, opening lines can be softer and team evaluations less settled.

That creates opportunities for careful handicapping. Which transfer is ready for a larger role? How will a new coach change the pace? Has a team improved defensively despite losing its leading scorer? Looking beyond last season’s record and a school’s reputation can help identify where a number deserves closer attention..

A strong start also works best with a disciplined plan.

Establish a consistent unit size, follow the recommended wagering levels within your budget, and evaluate results over time. Having that routine in place from the beginning helps you approach a busy basketball schedule with greater consistency.

In college basketball, study the players behind the school name

Transfers, freshmen, and coaching changes can transform a team. Last season’s record provides context, but its usefulness depends on who returns and what roles those players will have.

Start with the projected rotation. Identify the primary ballhandler, returning minutes, reliable shooters, interior defenders, and available depth. When evaluating transfers, consider their previous competition, playing time, and efficiency alongside their scoring averages. A player moving into a stronger conference or a different role may produce very different results.

Early college lines can be softer when a team’s identity is uncertain. However, assuming oddsmakers simply do not know the new players is a weak foundation for a bet. A more useful question is whether the market has accurately priced how those players fit together.

For an average bettor, specializing in a few conferences makes this research more manageable.

In the NBA, pay close attention to availability and rotations

Before betting, check injuries, potential minutes restrictions, starting lineups, and the likely replacement for an absent player. Use official reports and reliable team reporting, then recheck close to tipoff.

The NBA publishes injury reports covering injuries, illnesses, and rest, making them an essential starting point for availability research.

Look beyond an absent player’s scoring average. Losing a primary creator can affect turnovers, shot quality, and the bench rotation. Missing a rim protector can change the opponent’s opportunities inside.

Review back-to-back games, travel, and rest as additional factors. Those circumstances belong in the evaluation, but they are insufficient reasons to automatically bet against a team.

Look beneath the final score

A few early wins or losses can produce an exaggerated impression. Ask how a team generated its results.

Did it create open shots or depend on difficult jumpers? Did it control the boards? Were turnovers forced by pressure or caused by careless play? How strong were the opponents?

Separate pace from efficiency when evaluating totals

NBA statistics distinguish possessions per game from scoring and points allowed per 100 possessions, helping bettors compare teams playing at different speeds.

A high-scoring opener alone is insufficient evidence for an over. Consider both teams’ expected pace, offensive efficiency, available players, and the posted total.

Treat early results as evidence that needs context

Avoid rebuilding your opinion after every game. A three-point shooting surge over a handful of appearances may be temporary. A sustained change in minutes, shot selection, or defensive scheme offers a more concrete reason to update an evaluation.

Use preseason expectations as a starting point and adjust as meaningful evidence accumulates. In college, account for opponent quality before trusting impressive statistics against an overmatched schedule.

Shop for the number and set a limit

Compare available spreads, totals, and prices. At identical odds, taking +5 instead of +4 gives you a better position on the same underdog.

Decide the worst number you will accept before betting. If your preferred favorite moves from -3 to -5, reconsider whether your original reasoning still supports the wager. Passing is a valid decision.

Price matters even when picking winners. At standard -110 odds, you must win approximately 52.4% of bets that produce a win or loss to break even.

Last season showed why that timing matters. ATS Basketball posted winning results in four of the first five weeks. Clients who participated from the beginning had access to those selections as they were released.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Washington Commanders at San Francisco 49ers
Monday, October 19 | 8:15 p.m. ET | ESPN/ABC | Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara

Current odds: San Francisco -7.5 | Total 52.5
Moneyline: Washington +350, San Francisco -455.

Weather: Approximately 63°F, overcast, with a crosswind around 13 mph and little chance of rain.

Records SU ATS O/U


Washington	1–3–1	2–3	4–1
San Francisco	5–0	4–1	3–2

San Francisco is 3–0 at home. Washington is 0–2 in road games and also lost its neutral-site game in London.

Last game recap

Washington: Tied New York Giants 27–27, October 11. Jayden Daniels returned from his elbow injury with 199 passing yards, 103 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Washington surrendered a two-touchdown fourth-quarter advantage, then failed to get a potential winning field-goal attempt away when time expired after Daniels’ final overtime scramble. His mobility was encouraging; late-game execution remained a major problem.

San Francisco: Won at Seattle 32–29, October 11. The 49ers overcame an eight-point second-half deficit, benefiting from four takeaways and a defensive touchdown by Gracen Halton. Purdy helped deliver the late scoring possessions, and San Francisco’s defense finished with a fourth-down stop. It was an impressive road win, although turnovers supplied important short-field opportunities.

Last three games — SU and ATS

Listed newest first.

Team	Date	Opponent	SU result	ATS result
Washington	Oct. 11	vs. NY Giants	T 27–27	Lost, -3.5
Washington	Oct. 4	vs. Indianapolis, London	L 13–30	Lost, +5.5
Washington	Sept. 27	vs. Seattle	W 33–31	Covered, +8.5
San Francisco	Oct. 11	at Seattle	W 32–29	Covered, +3.5
San Francisco	Oct. 4	vs. Denver	W 24–14	Covered, -2.5
San Francisco	Sept. 27	vs. Arizona	W 36–30	Lost, -7.5

Three-game totals: Washington 1–1–1 SU, 1–2 ATS; San Francisco 3–0 SU, 2–1 ATS.

Quarterback matchup

	Season passing	Completion rate	TD–INT
Jayden Daniels, WAS	46 of 76, 459 yards in 3 appearances	60.5%	3–0
Brock Purdy, SF	98 of 142, 1,196 yards in 5 starts	69.0%	13–2

Daniels’ season totals reflect his injury absence. Purdy has averaged 8.4 yards per attempt, giving San Francisco a substantial advantage in passing efficiency entering this matchup.

QB analysis: Daniels’ scrambling gives Washington its best opportunity to extend possessions and create explosive gains when the initial play breaks down. San Francisco must keep its rush disciplined. Purdy’s advantage is operating an offense that consistently creates manageable situations: the 49ers lead the league in third-down conversion rate and have allowed only three sacks. Washington ranks 29th in offensive third-down conversions.

Offense/Defense — yards per game

	Washington	San Francisco
Points scored	23.0	30.8
Total offense	327.4	365.0
Rushing offense	139.6	128.6
Passing offense, net	187.8	236.4
Points allowed	29.8	18.6
Total defense	350.4	297.2
Rushing yards allowed	95.4	97.6
Passing yards allowed	255.0	199.6

The defensive split is particularly relevant: Washington has been considerably stronger against the run than the pass.

Key injuries and availability

Washington

RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt — OUT, groin. Washington loses its leading rusher. Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler are the principal alternatives, with their receiving ability offering useful outlets for Daniels.
QB Marcus Mariota — OUT, knee; DE Charles Omenihu — OUT, groin/ankle; OLB Javontae Jean-Baptiste — OUT, pectoral. The defensive absences reduce Washington’s edge rotation.
WR Stefon Diggs — QUESTIONABLE, hamstring. His availability would add an important receiving option.
DT Javon Kinlaw — QUESTIONABLE, ankle/knee; CB Trey Amos — QUESTIONABLE, ankle; safeties Nick Cross, Percy Butler and Tyler Owens — QUESTIONABLE. Amos also requires activation from his reserve list.
WR Terry McLaurin — no game designation after hamstring/rest management during the week
QB Jayden Daniels — full participation Thursday and Friday, listed with his left elbow injury.

San Francisco

WR Deebo Samuel Sr. — OUT, hamstring.
DE Nick Bosa — OUT, knee/calf. His absence removes a major individual pass-rushing threat against Daniels.
WR Mike Evans — QUESTIONABLE, ribs/Achilles; WR Christian Kirk — QUESTIONABLE, calf. These are important decisions for the passing matchup, especially with Samuel unavailable.
DL Mykel Williams — QUESTIONABLE, knee; DL Gracen Halton — QUESTIONABLE, quadriceps; CB Upton Stout — QUESTIONABLE, shoulder.
FB Kyle Juszczyk — available. Christian McCaffrey and LT Trent Williams returned to full participation after rest days. Final inactive lists arrive approximately 90 minutes before kickoff.

2025 meeting

The teams did not meet in 2025. Their most recent matchup was December 31, 2023, when San Francisco won 27–10 at Washington, covering -14; the game stayed Under 48.5.

Key ATS and totals trends

San Francisco: 4–1 ATS this season, including consecutive covers against Denver and Seattle.
Washington: 2–3 ATS, with consecutive noncovers against Indianapolis and the Giants.
Washington games: Over in four of five this season.

Matchup analysis

When Washington has the ball: The Commanders need productive early downs, quick completions and selective Daniels runs. With Croskey-Merritt unavailable, White and Ekeler’s involvement underneath could help Washington avoid obvious passing situations. Bosa’s absence helps, but San Francisco’s overall defensive efficiency still makes sustained drives difficult. Washington’s best route to staying inside the number is turning Daniels’ mobility into first downs while limiting stalled possessions.

When San Francisco has the ball: Purdy attacking Washington’s pass defense is the clearest statistical advantage. McCaffrey’s receiving work can also test coverage without forcing the 49ers to run repeatedly into Washington’s stronger defensive front. Evans’ availability matters because Samuel is already out. If both are unavailable, Washington has a better chance to concentrate coverage and force San Francisco to sustain longer drives.

Why Betting Basketball Early Matters

Start With a Plan

Early college basketball can offer an added advantage

A strong start also works best with a disciplined plan.

In college basketball, study the players behind the school name

In the NBA, pay close attention to availability and rotations

Look beneath the final score

Separate pace from efficiency when evaluating totals

Treat early results as evidence that needs context

Shop for the number and set a limit
