Best Thursday college football and NFL picks for bet365: 

Packers -3.5 vs. Commanders (-105)Commanders WR Deebo Samuel under 50.5 receiving yards (-110)Wake Forest +7 vs. North Carolina State (-105)

Combining the model’s three picks into a Wednesday MLB parlay at bet365 would result in a payout of +602 (risk $100 to win $602). Bet it at bet365 here:

Packers -3.5 vs. Commanders (-105)

Both teams looked dominant in Week 1 wins, but the Packers looked a bit more impressive based on opponent. They beat the Lions — a 15-win team from a season ago — 27-13 while the Commanders beat the Giants (3-14 last season) by a score of 21-6. Micah Parsons only played 45% of the defensive snaps because he’d only been in the building a week and was nursing a back injury, but he still recorded a sack. He should only make that Green Bay defense better over time, which is a big reason why the model has the Packers covering in the spread in 63% of simulations. Bet it now at bet365 and get $300 in bonus bets win or lose after your first $5 wager.

Commanders WR Deebo Samuel under 50.5 receiving yards (-110)

Washington traded for Samuel this offseason to give Jayden Daniels another weapon and he was heavily involved in the Week 1 win. The Commanders targeted the veteran receiver 10 times and he caught seven passes for 77 yards while also scoring a 19-yard rushing touchdown. However, Green Bay held Lions receiver to 11 catches for 97 yards combined in Week 1 and Detroit’s No. 2 receiver Jameson Williams was held to four catches for 23 yards. The model says Samuel only finishes with 42.5 receiving yards on average, so jump on this price from bet365 to get $300 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager.

Wake Forest +7 vs. NC State (-105)

Both of these teams are off to 2-0 starts but the expectation is certainly for NC State to have the talent advantage with Dave Doeren in his 13th season at the helm of the Wolfpack while Jake Dickert is in his first season running the Demon Deacons. However, Wake Forest is coming off a game where the offensive confidence was boosted significantly with a 42-10 win over Western Carolina where it averaged 9.5 yards per play. Meanwhile, NC State has had to grind out tough victories over East Carolina (24-17) and Virginia (35-31). The Demon Deacons should be the fresher team for this rivalry matchup and the model has them covering in 55% of simulations. Use the bet365 bonus code CBSBET365 for $300 in bonus bets or a $1,000 safety net on your first wager.
