Pepper McSausage Picks

A pick a day until my mom comes back to life.

Today we are blessed with a Pepper McSausage Picks Battle Royale™️!! Woot woot!

After the incredible masterclass that was picking the Orlando Magic winner not at all after the game started, we’re ready to run a gauntlet today for what is generally a light day of basketball, but one with a ton of potential! At our mercy, here are today’s options:

Option A: Justin Fields 1+ TD (+300)

Option B: De’Andre Hunter 8+ Rebs & Asts (-120)

Option C: Brandon Ingram exactly 3 assists (+300)

Option D: Atlanta Hawks/Utah Jazz U133.5 (-110)

Option E: Toronto Raptors team total O115.5 (-115)

Option F: Evan Mobley 11+ rebounds (+112)

Option G: New York Jets 1stQ +3 (-115)

Option H: Drake Maye Over .5 Interceptions (+149)

Option I: Brandon Ingram 30+ points (+575)

Option JK: Justin Fields 2+ TDs (+2400)

So many beautiful options, it’s clear where I think game scripts are going today. Full disclosure. I’ve made all these bets in some capacity. The question is: what bet do I think brings my mom back?

I’m gonna go ahead and throw the Fields’ touchdown props over the top rope right off the bat. Would I love to see them hit? Absolutely, I sprinkled USD on it. But there’s nothing quite like betting on Justin Fields that’s more likely to put me right into the ground beside my mother. I cannot stake my (stellar) reputation on the man.

Option A: Justin Fields 1+ TD (+300)

Option JK: Justin Fields 2+ TDs (+2400)

Next up, we can cross off the Ingram props. I personally love his exactly 3 assist prop cuz his assist prop feels destined to fall on the hook after a wildly consistent 2 weeks. In fact, every game this season has seen him get 3, 4 or 5 assists. The sort of consistency you dream of telling your therapist about. However, he seems more destined to get 2 and break my heart. And 30+ points for him is a bit of a pipe dream with all of the usage spread around that team (or is it? 🤔🤔)

Option C: Brandon Ingram exactly 3 assists (+300)

Option I: Brandon Ingram 30+ points (+575)

Next we have, Drake Maye OVER 0.5 interceptions. This is arguably my favorite prop of the day. Maye only has 5 interceptions on the season and has an interception in 3 straight so he’s due for some positive regression. The Jets on the other hand don’t have a SINGLE interception this season. Not even by accident. They also just lost a ton of defensive help, why would they get a pick here? Exactly! I can see him being a bit rambunctious in a game they should dominate and make a quick mistake lol. I’m not making it my pick of the day though cuz if my mom was still alive, he would be her new favorite QB. She loved hopping on a fun new bandwagon.

Option H: Drake Maye Over .5 Interceptions (+149)

Moving on, we have the Jets 1st quarter spread +3. The Pats have been a covering machine this year, going 7-3. And there’s no reason they shouldn’t cover again here with the Jets coming off a surprising win after just essentially accepting the idea of a tank and selling off their studs. I think the Jets could be feisty today and while I can still see the Pats to win and covering anyway, I like the Jets to do their running the ball over and over bullshit, kill the clock and maybe even score first today. Which shouldn’t allow much room for error to the Pats in the first quarter. People are betting the Jets 1st Q line though, which I do not like. Stay off my bets y’all. I wanna be alone on an island before I get these blogs out.

Option G: New York Jets 1stQ +3 (-115)

Rounding out the list, rapid fire, I wanna cross off…

Option B: De’Andre Hunter 8+ Rebs & Asts (-120)

Option E: Toronto Raptors team total O115.5 (-115)

Option F: Evan Mobley 11+ rebounds (+112)

While I love these picks to varying degrees, they all sort of contradict each other, or rather eat into each other’s potential. I’m hoping they all hit and don’t want to double down on any one. Though I do want to point out that Mobley hasn’t hit his line in 6 straight 👀

This leads us all to the winner of the battle royale!

Today’s pick: ATLANTA HAWKS/UTAH JAZZ U133.5

These two teams have smashed the over in their last three games together and are being bet heavily to do it again today. Not so fast my friend! The Jazz overs are 4-1 at home and due for regression. Small sample, but the Hawks have gone under in the second leg of all their back to backs this season and the Jazz are onto their 3rd game in 4 nights. I’m gearing up for a brick fest in Tuah (keeping the typo cuz it made me laugh).

Good luck everyone, and as always, I’ll see you on the other side!

Pick record 7-8 (thank you Magic!)
