PrizePicks for October 9

There are plenty of different props to choose from Friday on PrizePicks, and there’s a lot of money to be made. You can pick your choice of NFL, MLB, NBA, MMA, PGA, NASCAR, soccer, NCAAF and LoL. As you’ll see below, I’ll be focusing on MLB, NBA and NFL with today’s picks. 

Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production.

The format is simple. You pick two, three or four players and predict whether they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total.

When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:

• Two-pick entry pays 2.5x (max entry: $400)
• Three-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $200)
• Four-pick entry pays 10x (max entry: $100)

As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option if you choose to run a four-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.

Below are my top PrizePicks for Friday’s slate in MLB and NBA, along with some of my weekend NFL picks. I will be mixing and matching my pick combinations from the pool below, with my favorite combinations also included. I took an early look at Week 5 in the NFL but be sure to check out Adam Pfeifer’s FREE PrizePicks NFL article as well.
