Covers Free League Picks

Covers provide free picks on games in the following leagues:

Free Experts Picks

Making smart picks means looking beyond the favorites. Our free expert sports betting picks will include various bet types and markets.

Free Point Spread Picks

Point spreads even the odds between two teams, offering bettors as close to an even matchup as possible. Our analysts look at matchups and more to give you the best edge possible before making your point spread bets.

Free Over/Under Picks

Covers’ analysts make Over/Under picks on game totals and props for all the major sports leagues. Betting on Over/Unders means choosing if a result will be Over or Under a total set by oddsmakers. A popular example of Over/Unders is betting on the Over/Under of points scored by both teams.

Free Moneyline Picks

Betting on the moneyline means picking which team will win a game outright. While less common than picking the point spread or even a prop, our analysts will always look for high-value moneyline picks if they feel it’s the best bet.

Free Prop Picks

There’s always value in props. Our team scours through league, game, team, and player props to try and find opportunity and value. From strikeouts to touchdowns, expect well-researched prop picks from Covers.

Free Picks FAQs

When are free picks released?

Covers free picks are released two to three days before each game for the NFL, CFL and college football and the morning or afternoon of game days for MLB, NBA, WNBA, NHL, and NCAA basketball.

What kinds of free picks do we make?

Covers provides free picks covering the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, CFL, WNBA, college sports, and more. We make picks on many markets, including point spreads, totals, moneylines, player props, and more.

What is the most predictable bet?

While no bet is guaranteed, some are considered more predictable. Moneyline bets on favorites and ’over/under’ bets, based on detailed knowledge of the teams or players, can be seen as more predictable. However, unpredictability is innate to betting and these bet types can still lose. Thorough research and responsible betting practices are always important.
