Handicapper Art Aronson of AAA Sports Plays Free Picks & Best Bets

We like the LA Dodgers to defeat the New York Mets for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Dodgers' lineup is the best in the National League. There are no soft spots.

The Dodgers' bullpen is underrated and was much better than the Mets bullpen during the season. LA relievers stymied the San Diego bets the last 2 games of the NLDS.

Senga is inexperienced and will be on a pitch count.

Flaherty was acquired from the Tigers and has been a valuable piece of the team. He will rebound from a sub-par effort in this season's first post-season start.

The Dodgers were 52-29 at home this season. They're 6-3 their last nine against the Mets, 4-0 the past four.

Expect LA to win Game 1.

We like the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Bringing in a 7-2 ATS run into this game, we're all over the Packers today.

Arizona own just a 1-7 ATS record over their last eight games played vs. opponents in the NFC North division (GB, MIN, DET, CHI.)

Green Bay have won five of six lifetime meetings between these two played at Lambeau, covering in three of the past four.

The Packers are averaging over 50 yards more per game than the Cardinals, which should help in this game.

GB's defense has also been slightly better than Arizona's, averaging less points allowed as well as yards.

Jordan Love should be able to connect with his receivers a lot this week. In a high scoring game, look for the Packers to run away with it.

We like the Cincinnati Bengals to defeat the New York Giants on Sunday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

We all know that the Bengals are much better than their 1-4 record. With another divisional game @Cleveland up next week, and a date against Philly the week after, this is a huge game for Cincinnati.

Averaging 28.0 points per game, the Bengals are in the top five in the NFL.

The Giants average just 17.8 points per game which is bottom five in the NFL.

NYG are 0-2 at home this season, being outscored 48 to 21 in those two games.

Cincinnati have one of the best receiving cores in football. They will be able to outscore the Giants this weekend.

In Primetime, we will give the heavy edge to Joe Burrow over Daniel Jones.

Malik Nabers should be back, but that will not be enough for the Giants. They are just 1-3 when he is in the lineup this season.

Burrow/Chase should be heavily motivated to beat Nabers as they are all former LSU players.

The Bengals covered the spread in their last meeting back in 2020. Expect them to do the same thing in 2024.
