Remember the three NFL preseason bets we came up with Thursday by digging through Steve Makinen’s Analytics Report?
Bears +2.5 vs. Browns ✅
Vikings-Giants Under 41.5 ✅
Rams +2.5 at Chiefs ✅
3-0.
I might have forgotten all about our little experiment if I hadn’t received this email from reader Mike:
Thanks, Mike. Deal.
The exercise wasn’t about blindly following one trend. I looked for games where multiple relevant indicators in Steve’s report pointed in the same direction — ratings, systems and historical betting trends.
The best part? You can do this yourself.
Steve produces an Analytics Report for every week of the NFL preseason and regular season, pulling together his power ratings, betting systems, trends, betting splits and other data to help identify potential plays.
We’ll certainly keep mining it for ideas. But you don’t have to wait for us.

Week 2 starts Thursday. We’ll try it again. Just remember Mike’s promise if we go 0-3.

What can Joshua Báez possibly do for an encore?
In his MLB debut Saturday, Báez homered in each of his first three at-bats, a feat never accomplished before, as the Cardinals beat the Cubs 8-4.

Greg Peterson is expecting considerably less offense when the teams meet again this afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Cubs starter Edward Cabrera has a 5.10 ERA, but he showed signs of rediscovering his swing-and-miss stuff during three minor-league rehab starts, averaging 15.2 strikeouts per nine innings.
St. Louis starter Hunter Dobbins owns a 3.40 ERA, and Greg also expects both pitchers to get some help from the wind blowing in at Wrigley.
🎯 Greg’s Pick: Cardinals-Cubs Under 9
Greg’s Handicapped Total: 7.7
