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 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.
