The model simulates every FBS game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a betting profit of over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college spread football picks, and is a profitable 39-27 combined on money-line and over/under college football picks since the beginning of 2024. It also entered the second week of the 2025 MLB playoffs a profitable 35-29 on top-rated MLB money-line picks this season. Anybody following its MLB betting and college football betting picks at sportsbooks and on betting sites could have seen strong returns.  
Combining these three picks into a Wednesday MLB and CFB parlay at BetMGM would result in a payout of +583 (risk $100 to win $583). Bet it at BetMGM here:
Delaware is off to a 3-2 start in its first FBS season, but the Blue Hens dropped to 1-1 in the conference after a 27-24 loss at home to Western Kentucky last week. Meanwhile, Jacksonville State is 3-3, but the Gamecocks are 2-0 in Conference USA with wins over Liberty and Sam Houston. Jacksonville State managed nine wins in each of its first two seasons in FBS, and it will also have home-field advantage on Wednesday. The model predicts that the Gamecocks cover in 73% of simulations. Back Jacksonville State at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Sam Houston money line vs. UTEP (+110)
These two Texas institutions are at the bottom of the Conference USA standings entering tonight’s action, as UTEP is 1-5 overall and 0-2 in the league while Sam Houston is 0-6 and 0-3 in conference play. However, Sam Houston is only a year removed from a 10-win season, and UTEP has been bowling three times in 20 years and hasn’t managed more than seven wins in a season during that span. The Bearkats won 41-21 in El Paso last season and are coming off their best performance of the season in a tight 29-27 loss to Jacksonville State last week. The model predicts that Sam Houston wins outright in 64% of simulations. Bet the Bearkats at BetMGM here:
Mariners money line vs. Blue Jays (-135)
The Mariners took a commanding lead in the series with a pair of wins in Toronto, and now they’ll head back home to Seattle with a sweep in mind. George Kirby will take the ball for Game 3 of the ALCS, and he is sporting a 2.70 ERA with 14 strikeouts over 10 innings so far during the 2025 MLB Playoffs. Meanwhile, Cal Raleigh has followed up a historic 60-homer season by posting a 1.078 OPS during the postseason. Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber only lasted 2 2/3 innings in his lone playoff start, and the model has the Mariners winning in 61% of simulations. Bet Seattle at BetMGM:
