The Titans resting everyone makes this bet a no-brainer plus other top picks for Thursday

Hello, and welcome to the penultimate CBS Sports HQ PM newsletter of 2022. Yes, that's right, it'll soon be 2023, which blows my mind a bit, honestly. Like, how? Where did 2023 come from? It feels like 2022 started not too long ago.Before I get Andy Isabella Jersey caught up in the existential dread of coming to terms with the pa sage of time, I should link these stories for you. You're going to want to read them. I've also got some picks for tonight's games for you, including an NFL game we'll remember for the rest of time -- no matter how short it might feel.??.Now, like sand pa sing through an hourgla s, these are the picks of our night. Key Trend: Ain't nobody playin for the Titans.The Pick: Titans Under 13.5 (-120)I legitimately fear for Al Michaels having to feign interest in this one for three hours. He's Koda Martin Jersey a man who has built one of the most impre sive play-by-play careers in history by calling big games. Let me review the injury report if you haven't paid much attention to this game.You already knew the Titans were without because he didn't play last week. We faded the Titans in this newsletter because there was no reason to trust them as a favorite, with rookie starting. Well, Willis isn't starting tonight. Josh Dobbs is. Don't worry; Willis isn't hurt, the Titans are resting him. isn't playing, either. So the Titans won't have their top two QBs or the centerpiece of their offense. It's all because this game means nothing to Tenne see. They can lose by a billion points, but as long as they beat Jacksonville next week, they'll win the AFC South and clinch a playoff berth because of their record in the division. Isn't playoff expansion wonderful? Meanwhile, Dallas needs this win to keep its division hopes alive because they're 11-4 but don't play in an absolute joke of a division, so they have to keep winning. Seriously, the NFL has devised a system where a 7-8 team can tank for a week and still make the playoffs, while another 11-4 team DeAndre Hopkins Jersey has to give everything it has in hopes of winning its division. It's so stupid. Anyway, bet the Titans team total under.. College Football The Pick: Washington +3 (-110) --Texas is a $200,000 sports car with the engine of your mom's 2014 Subaru Outback. It's going to get you where you need to Budda Baker Jersey go, but even though it looks like it should go much faster, there's a concerning vibration throughout the cabin once you start creeping up toward 80 mph.For whatever reason, the Longhorns are never the sum of their parts and overrated on the market too often. This is another example.With Doak Walker winner Bijan Robinson and fellow running back Roschon Johnson opting out, the Longhorns will be without their best player and a key contributor. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is sitting the game out, too. Meanwhile, Washington returns quarterback Michael Penix, and he's seen as a Heisman candidate for next season. It's hard to trust the Horns as favorites here. College Basketball The Pick: San Diego +16 (-110) --Saint Mary's is a team advanced metrics love because it plays outstanding defense and moves at a glacial pace. That reduces variance. Sorry for the nerd talk, but it's true. While it makes sense mathematically, it sometimes leads to spots we can exploit because, as good as the Gaels are defensively, offensively, they aren't nearly as reliable.That's why we've already seen them lose games to teams like Washington, New Mexico and Colorado State this season. I don't think they'll lose to San Diego tonight. The Torero have played a weak D.J. Humphries Jersey schedule and are just 7-7, with some bad lo ses on the resume. This will be their fourth straight game on the road. All that said, the spread is a little too big here. It's difficult for teams that move as slowly as Saint Mary's and shoot as poorly from the free throw line (64.4%, 332nd) to cover spreads this large..
