WNBA free pick today | Storm vs Sparks prediction | Aug 10 2025

ASAwins WNBA free play on LA Sparks +4.5 vs. Seattle Storm, 8pm ET

These two teams recently met in Seattle with the Sparks winning a thrilling OT game 108-106. The interesting part was that the Storm were favored by the same number in their own building and now priced the same in this game.

Granted, the Sparks are coming off a game last night but still that’s an over-adjustment by the oddsmakers, giving us value on L.A.

Los Angeles has won 8 of their last ten games with the 4th best Net rating in the league at +4.8. Seattle continues to underachieve this season and currently stand 16-15 SU on the season.

The Storm have lost 4-straight games as their defense has slipped to 8th in Defensive Net rating over that course of games. Off a very poor showing last night we expect the Sparks to bounce back today and keep this close.

WNBA Free bet today | Liberty vs Wings prediction | Aug 8 2025

ASAwins WNBA free bet on Dallas Wings +8.5 vs. NY Liberty, 7:30pm ET

We have a slight lean to the Wings on this game but will check the starting lineups before tipoff to make sure Wings PG Paige Bueckers is in the lineup. Bueckers was taken to the locker room in the last game against this same Liberty team on Tuesday night but reports are that she will play tonight. New York has had their ups and downs in recent weeks and are 2-4 SU in their last six games. They are not in a great scheduling situation here as they just beat this Wings team by 11 points (as -11.5-point favorite) and have a massive game looming against the Lynx. It’s logical they would overlook this Dallas team in anticipation of that showdown on Sunday. New York is 2-10-1 ATS their last 13 on the road. Dallas is capable of beating this team on their home court as they did in late July 92-82 as an 8-point dog. Dallas as a home dog of +7.5 or more points has covered 4 of their last five in that role. Tread lightly with a play on the Wings.

Penn State Big Ten Champions +240

PennStateBig10champs

ASAwins – Penn State +240 to Win the Big Ten: 2025 Sports Betting Preview

Penn State enters the 2025 college football season as a legitimate contender for the Big Ten title, with odds of +240 and a chance to more than double our investment. The Lions have a strong roster, favorable schedule, and elite coaching staff. With one of the deepest teams in the nation, a proven track record under head coach James Franklin, and key additions to the coaching staff, the Nittany Lions are well-positioned to make a run at the conference crown and a spot in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff (CFP).

Why Bet on Penn State at +240?

1. Elite Roster Depth and Returning Talent – Penn State boasts one of the most talented and experienced rosters in college football for 2025. The Nittany Lions return key players at nearly every position, including quarterback Drew Allar, running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen, and a stout offensive line with four returning starters. Defensively, they return starters at all three levels, including star defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton and cornerback A.J. Harris.

Running Back Duo: Singleton and Allen form the nation’s premier backfield, both surpassing 1,000 rushing yards in 2024 (Singleton: 1,099 yards, 12 TDs; Allen: 1,108 yards, 8 TDs). ESPN ranks them as the No. 2 and No. 3 running backs in college football for 2025, respectively. Their complementary styles—Singleton’s explosive speed and Allen’s physical, chain-moving power—make them a nightmare for opposing defenses. Both are also effective in the passing game, with Singleton recording 375 receiving yards and 5 TDs in 2024.

Offensive Line: Penn State returns four of five starters on the offensive line, including tackles Drew Shelton and Anthony Donkoh, guard Vega Ioane, and center Nick Dawkins. This unit allowed just 8 sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2024 while paving the way for 3,237 rushing yards. Their experience and cohesion should provide ample protection for Allar and open lanes for Singleton and Allen.

Quarterback Stability: Drew Allar, a former five-star recruit, returns for his senior season after showing improvement in 2024 under offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. Allar’s health and decision-making will be critical, but with a strong supporting cast, he’s poised for a breakout year.

Transfer Portal Additions: Penn State addressed its wide receiver struggles by adding Devonte Ross, Kyron Hudson, and Trebor Peña via the transfer portal. These additions provide Allar with reliable targets, potentially elevating the passing game.

2. Proven Track Record Under James Franklin – Franklin’s tenure at Penn State has been marked by consistent success, with a 101-42 record (.706 winning percentage) and seven top-12 CFP rankings in the last nine seasons. Since 2016, Penn State is 82-12 straight-up (SU) as a favorite, with an average margin of victory of +21 points per game (PPG). This is a critical stat, as the Nittany Lions are projected to be favored in every game except their road matchup against Ohio State.

Recent Success: In 2024, Penn State reached the Big Ten Championship Game and secured two CFP victories, finishing with a 12-2 record.

However, Franklin’s 1-15 SU record against Top 5 teams is a concern. The Ohio State game looms large, but the Buckeye’s face a tougher schedule and will likely have to win in Michigan in their final game of the season.

3. Favorable 2025 Schedule – Penn State’s path to the Big Ten title is manageable, with only one projected underdog game (at Ohio State). Key games include:

Home vs. Oregon: A marquee matchup that could decide the Big Ten pecking order. Playing at Beaver Stadium, where Penn State is 45-5 SU since 2016, gives them a significant edge. The Lions also get Nebraska at home who is the only other preseason Top 25 team on their schedule.

The Lions avoid Michigan and USC which are two major obstacles avoided on their way to a Big Ten Championship.

4. Elite Coaching Staff – Penn State’s coaching staff is among the best in college football, with offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki and new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles leading the charge.

Andy Kotelnicki (Offense): In his second year at Penn State, Kotelnicki has transformed the offense into a dynamic unit. In 2024, Penn State ranked first in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game (over 200 YPG), thanks to Kotelnicki’s creative play-calling and utilization of Singleton and Allen. His Kansas offense in 2023 averaged 206 rushing yards per game and 5.4 yards per carry, and with a more talented roster in 2025, expect similar production. Kotelnicki’s ability to incorporate tight ends and running backs into the passing game could offset the loss of star tight end Tyler Warren.

Jim Knowles (Defense): Knowles, hired from Ohio State, brings a proven track record of elite defensive performance. In 2024, his Ohio State defense led the nation, allowing just 264 yards per game (YPG) and 12.9 PPG. Knowles’ aggressive, blitz-heavy scheme should mesh well with Penn State’s talented front seven, led by Dennis-Sutton (4.5 sacks in 2024 CFP games) and emerging linebacker Tony Rojas (58 tackles, 3 INTs in 2024). Knowles’ defenses have ranked first in the nation for four consecutive years, and Penn State’s 2024 defense already ranked No. 17 in rushing defense.

5. Did we forget to mention the defense? – Penn State returns 70% of its defensive production from 2024, including key contributors like safety Jaylen Reed (98 tackles, 3 INTs) and defensive tackle Zane Durant (42 tackles, 11 TFL). The addition of transfers like Michigan’s Owen Wafle and Texas A&M’s Enai White bolsters the defensive line.

6. Betting Value at +240 – At +240, Penn State offers strong value compared to favorites like Ohio State (-110) and Oregon (+200). The Nittany Lions’ depth, coaching, and schedule give them a realistic path to 11 or 12 wins, which could be enough to win the Big Ten, especially if they upset Ohio State on the road. The +240 odds imply a 28.6% chance of winning the Big Ten, but Penn State’s metrics suggest their true probability is closer to 33-35%, making this a value bet.

Key Stats Recap

Franklin’s Record: 101-42 at Penn State, 125-57 overall.

As Favorite: 82-12 SU since 2016, +21 PPG average margin.

Running Backs: Singleton (1,099 yards, 12 TDs) and Allen (1,108 yards, 8 TDs) in 2024.

Offensive Line: 4 returning starters, allowed 8 sacks in 2024.

Knowles’ Defense (2024 at Ohio State): 264 YPG, 12.9 PPG, No. 1 nationally.

2024 Team Stats: No. 1 in Big Ten rushing (200+ YPG), No. 17 rushing defense nationally.

With a loaded roster, elite coaching, and a favorable schedule, Penn State is poised for a breakout season. Bet on the Nittany Lions to roar in 2025.

NFL Chargers vs Lions Prediction | July 31 2025

ASA NFL play on LA Chargers (FIRST HALF) +5 vs. Detroit Lions, 8pm ET

The NFL season is officially here with the Hall of Fame game tonight between the Chargers and Lions. We are going to side with the Chargers in this game with our strongest bet on the 1st half with Los Angeles. We will focus on the defenses as they have the advantage early on in the preseason. The Chargers gave up 5.4 Yards Per Play defensively a year ago and 18.5PPG which was the 2nd lowest number in the NFL. In comparison the Lions allowed 21.5PPG and 5.8YPPL (29th). Detroit lost their Offensive and Defensive coordinators so expect a very vanilla gameplan tonight as new systems are being put in place. Neither team will play many starters at all including their franchise QB’s in Herbert and Goff. We like the Chargers backup QB better with Trey Lance who is schedule to play the first half of this game. Lance provides mobility which will lead to several big plays with his feet rather than his arm. The Lions are going to give Hendon Hooker a long look at QB to see if he can be Goff’s primary  backup. We like Lance with more NFL experience to outshine Hooker and the Lions in this one.

NY Giants Prediction | Win Total | Under 5.5 -120

NYGiants

ASAwins NFL New York Giants Betting Prediction:

We are betting UNDER 5.5 Wins for the New York Giants – 2025. The New York Giants enter the 2025 NFL season with significant challenges on both sides of the football. They also face a difficult schedule and a lame-duck coach in Brian Daboll. It all adds up to UNDER 5.5 wins and is one of our NFL Future bets for the 2025 season.

2024 Performance: The Giants finished 28th in team DVOA last season, reflecting poor efficiency on both sides of the football. Their offense ranked 30th in yards per play (4.7), while the defense allowed 5.6 yards per play (24th). This contributed to the 4th-highest scoring differential of minus -8.4 points per game.

Quarterback Concerns: Russell Wilson, now the Giants’ QB, is a shadow of his former self. At 36, his 2024 stats with the Steelers (2,721 yards, 15 TDs, 8 INTs, 81.7 passer rating) showed a decline. Moreover, his fit in a struggling Giants offense raises doubts about a quick turnaround for the G-Men.

Tough Schedule: The Giants face a brutal early slate, with six of their first eight opponents having made the playoffs in 2024. This includes two games against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. A realistic 1-14 start is possible, with a potential road win at New Orleans on October 5th (Week 5) as the lone bright spot. The Giants may be Underdogs in all 17 games this season. Their best chances to be favored are at New Orleans and at Las Vegas, but even then they may be slight dogs in both games.

Coaching and Decline: Under head coach Brian Daboll, the Giants have declined from 9 wins in 2022 to 6 in 2023, and just 3 in 2024. This signals a steady downward trajectory with no clear signs of improvement.

Offensive Line Weakness: Ranked 23rd-28th in 2024 in most key O-line categories, the Giants will have a tough time running the football in 2025. They will also struggle with protecting their aging QB. New York allowed 48 sacks last season and a pressure rate of 38.4% (28th). The Giants were 27th in run-block win rate and averaged just 4.2 yards per rush (18th).

The Giants’ poor 2024 performance, a declining roster, and one of the league’s toughest schedules will be tough to overcome for the Big Blue. A 1-14 start is plausible, with wins potentially limited to New Orleans and Las Vegas. We could see this Giants team totaling 3-4 wins at best. The UNDER 5.5 wins is an attractive bet because the team’s offensive inefficiencies, defensive vulnerabilities, and lack of momentum under Daboll suggest they won’t reach six victories.

Bet: UNDER 5.5 Total Wins for the New York Giants.
