Totals & spreadsOver/under picks call the match's total goals or points, not the winner. Odds are 1.70–2.20 and the reason is always named: pace, goaltending, absences or conditions. In ice hockey overtime and the shootout count; in football only regulation time. Spread picks call the winning margin: Lakers −4.5 wins if the Lakers win by five or more.

Sunday afternoon's offering focuses on European basketball, with fixtures scheduled not only in the Nordic countries but also in Turkey and Italy. The day's games feature both the leading teams from domestic leagues and historic clubs, with important early-season positions at stake.

Likely

Likely picks are favourites whose chances of winning we consider at least as probable as the market does. They land more often than value bets, but short odds mean that one loss wipes out several wins. The edge in this range is usually around zero or negative, because the odds include the bookmaker's margin – the long-term return is at market level, not above it.

Horsens IC – Team FOG Næstved: Team FOG Næstved to win @ 1.48

Statistics. Team FOG Næstved beat Holbæk-Stenhus 117–56 on 24.9. and recorded 26 steals, 30 assists and 49 fast-break points. Horsens lost 83–64 to Bakken Bears on the same day, but won 92–70 away to Svendborg on 17.9. Situation. Næstved used all 12 players named in the squad in their opening win, so the workload was spread widely. Both played on 24.9., so this is not a back-to-back; no separate confirmation of any potential rest for this game was found. Our estimate. Horsens IC: 34.8% · Team FOG Næstved: 65.2% Why we back it. The results from one round do not provide sufficiently strong grounds to deviate from the margin-free market estimate, so we revert to the market's fair distribution.

Odds 1.48 · market 65.2% · our estimate 65% · edge -3.5%

Anadolu Efes – Beşiktaş: Anadolu Efes to win @ 1.44

Statistics. Beşiktaş have won four of the teams' last five head-to-head meetings. Efes lost their EuroLeague opener to Barcelona, while Beşiktaş had played two competitive matches before this game and lost both; Off/Def rating, pace and TS% figures are not available. Situation. Georgios Papagiannis and Isaia Cordinier are absent for Efes, and the foreign-player quota affects both squads. Efes played on Thursday and Beşiktaş on Friday, so neither is on a back-to-back, but Efes have one extra recovery day. Our estimate. Anadolu Efes: 66.8% · Beşiktaş: 33.2% Why we back it. We do not find sufficiently well-sourced reason to raise Efes above the market's fair estimate: the recovery advantage supports the home team, but the absences and Beşiktaş's strong head-to-head record pull in the other direction.

Odds 1.44 · market 66.8% · our estimate 67% · edge -3.8%

Over/Under

Over/Under bets concern the total number of goals or points in a match, not the winner. The odds are 1.70–2.20 and the rationale is always specified: game pace, goaltenders, absences or conditions. In ice hockey, overtime and the shootout are included; in football, only regular time counts.

Varese – Virtus Bologna: Under 164.5 points @ 1.88

Statistics. Virtus's first two competitive matches ended 80–71 and 78–68, meaning the totals were 151 and 146. The teams' scoring averages over their last 10 games and numerical pace figures are not available at the start of the new season. Situation. Varese are without William McDowell-White, Amedeo Della Valle is doubtful and Virtus are missing Kevin Kokila. Virtus arrive for the game only around 48 hours after their EuroLeague game in Istanbul; this is the opening game of the LBA regular season. Our estimate. Over: 46% · Under: 54% Why we back it. Virtus's offence has been held to 71 and 68 points in early-season competitive matches, and Varese's defensive focus as well as their backcourt absence lend slight support to the under line. Deviation from the market: Our estimate leans under the market because Virtus's early-season offence has been held to 71 and 68 points and Varese begin the season with a defensive focus and without William McDowell-White.
