Best WNBA picks for Storm vs. Liberty (odds subject to change):
Seattle Storm +5.5 (-105)
The Storm have won five of their last seven games, including an 80-79 win at Atlanta on Thursday. Forward Nneka Ogwumike helped pace the Storm with 24 points, seven rebounds, three steals and two assists in 32 minutes of action. She scored 26 points, while adding seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the first meeting with the Liberty. For the season, she is averaging 17.4 points per game.
“While the Liberty got back on track in the win column in their last game, they still failed to cover against the Sparks – a sign of their continued struggles without Jonquel Jones,” Wetzel said. “Now, they face a Seattle frontcourt with Ezi Magbegor and Nneka Ogwumike that can take advantage of Jones’ absence. Seattle won the first matchup this season by 10, and while this one will be on the road, that’s still an indication of how well the Storm match up with the Jones-less Liberty. Grab Seattle getting nearly two full possessions here.”

Nneka Ogwumike over 6.5 rebounds (-140)
Ogwumike is averaging 7.8 rebounds per game this year. She has grabbed seven or more rebounds in three of the last five games, including the last two. She also had seven boards in the win over the Liberty at Seattle.
“The biggest area where New York feels the lack of Jonquel Jones is in the rebounding department,” Wetzel said. “That should benefit Nneka Ogwumike, who is over this line in 12 of 18 games this season, including the first meeting with New York. The -140 juice is worth the price here, as this will likely close at 7.5. Take it now to make sure you cash on the seventh rebound – a mark Ogwumike has landed on four times this year.”

Fantasy football waiver wire pickups: NFL Week 8
Another week of the 2025 NFL season is just about in the books. Here are the players you should be targeting in your fantasy football leagues, including options for smaller leagues and deeper leagues, as well as players to avoid. Jump to a position group: QB | RB | WR | TE QUARTERBACK Jaxson Dart, New York Giants (Rostered in 43.3% of leagues on ESPN) League Size: 10 Time Frame: Week 8, Short Term, Long Term Dart has started the past four games for the Giants, averaging 23.0 fantasy points per game during that stretch (fourth best among quarterbacks).

4 Takeaways From the Blue Jays’ ALCS Game 6 Win Over the Mariners
While the National League Championship Series was decided with the minimum, the AL counterpart will go the maximum. With a chance to reach the World Series for the first time in their franchise’s history Sunday night in Toronto, the Mariners were stifled in Game 6 of the ALCS by a 22-year-old rookie starter who had other ideas in a 6-2 Blue Jays win, setting up a winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday night. Here are my takeaways: 1. With the season on the line, Jays’ rookie wins the battle The last time Trey Yesavage and Logan Gilbert faced off in Game 2, neither left with an impressive line. Yesavage was unable to baffle Blue Jays hitters with his splitter the way he did against the Yankees in the American League Division Series, while Gilbert looked rusty coming off just two days of rest after being […]
Dak Prescott Is Playing Like an MVP, and the Cowboys Defense Finally Did Its Part
ARLINGTON, Texas - What if your quarterback has an MVP-caliber season, but your defense is so bad you can't even make the playoffs? Call it the Joe Burrow effect.It was one thing when the Cowboys scored 40 and managed only a tie against the Packers, another when they scored 27 and still lost to the Panthers.So, this past week, in defensive meetings, the message was clear and urgent for Dallas players: Don't let an amazing season by Dak Prescott get buried in high-scoring losses."We talk about it all the time: When you've got an offense like this, that's a championship offense, and we don't want to let that go to waste," defensive tackle Kenny Clark said. "I'm just being real. We have to keep improving and keep stepping up, because they're balling. They're putting up points, and you saw today, […]
