Celtics -2.5 at Pelicans (-115, DraftKings)
The Celtics are on an eight-game winning streak and have covered the spread in four of their last five, so I think they can cover this one against the Pelicans. The Pelicans have also covered four of their last five and are on a three-game winning streak, but with the Celtics averaging just over 120 points scored per game and the Pelicans averaging a bit over 116 points scored per game, I see advantages for the Celtics here when it comes to covering the spread. So I think the Celtics can keep it rolling on their winning streak and cover the spread against the Pelicans.

 UConn -18.5 vs. UNCW (-110, FanDuel)
UConn is a perfect 3-0 this season, while UNCW comes into this one with a losing 1-2 record. The Huskies are averaging notably more points scored per game than UNCW, with 85 to their 71. UConn has covered the spread in two of their three games, while UNCW is coming off of failing to cover an 11.5-point spread as the underdog against Oklahoma. So I like UConn to cover this major spread against UNCW with a big win here.

Lamar Jackson Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+123, Caesars)
Jackson and the Ravens are coming off of a bye week ahead of their matchup against the Panthers, and I think the rest will have done this team well as they continue on their three-game winning streak. Jackson has thrown multiple touchdowns in four games this season and the Panthers have allowed two touchdowns per game over their last three games. I really like Jackson to keep that streak going for the Panthers and have another game with multiple touchdowns.
