THE PLAY: Oklahoma City Thunder +2.5 (-111)
Take Oklahoma City (#505)
Check out my ‘Free Play’ video for Spurs- Thunder opening day below. Here’s a brief write-up:
Playoff revenge is meaningful in that first regular season meeting the following season. OKC led San Antonio 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals last year. They led that series 3-2 after five games, but lost Game 6 in San Antonio and Game 7 at home, costing them a chance at back-2-back championships. Now they’re in revenge, having spent the summer thinking about this matchup, while the Spurs are trying to work into a three guard starting lineup; making adjustments in bunches to last year’s rotations. Live dog here. Note this line is likely to bounce around on gameday based on Chet Holmgren’s status (currently questionable). Take the Thunder.
THE PLAY: Detroit Pistons +1.5 (-110)
Take Detroit (#502)
Check out my ‘Free Play’ video for Pistons – Celtics opening day below. Here’s a brief write-up:
I trust JB Bickerstaff to have the Pistons ready to play on opening day more than I trust Joe Mazzulla to do the same. On opening night, continuity from last year matters as much as any other factor. Detroit is bringing back nearly every key piece from last year’s ‘#1 in the East’ roster, while the Celtics lost last year’s leading scorer, Jaylen Brown, in the offseason. In a near pick ‘em price range, I expect that to matter, especially given the strength of this homecourt in the Bickerstaff era. Take the Pistons.

Consultant Bio
Ted Sevransky (better known as Teddy Covers) moved to Las Vegas to bet on sports full-time back in 1998 and he's been doing it successfully ever since. During that time, Teddy has been featured prominently in the mainstream press. Print highlights include the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Las Vegas Review Journal and Playboy magazine. Television highlights include CBS This Morning, CNBC, PBS and Bloomberg TV. Teddy starred in the recent sports betting documentary Life on the Line and has been featured in an ESPN 30-for-30 and on Showtime's 'Action' miniseries.
Teddy is a 1992 University of Michigan graduate. His handicapping approach is fine tuned for the modern betting marketplace in 2025; a market that is dominated by stat-based quants - the ‘sharp money’. In one sentence, Teddy looks to identify and identify and isolate 'morphing' teams -- teams that are currently playing at a different level or pace (better or worse; faster or slower) than their long term statistical profile would indicate. Those become teams to bet on, bet against, bet over and bet under, until the quants catch up with current realities and value them correctly.
This ‘Ride the Hot & Fade the Cold’ approach has allowed Teddy to provide for himself and his family with steady income from his sports betting winnings, over nearly three decades. And those decades of experience grinding it out in Vegas enables Teddy to avoid many of the traps and pitfalls that befall ‘cappers. Experience DOES matter in this business. Teddy is one bettor who can handle the highs and lows of this sometimes zany and always exciting business with consistent, calm professionalism.
