Stitches Picks NFL Overtime While Awaiting World Series Outcome

The handicapper known as Stitches is placing wagers on two NFL matchups this Sunday, as they await the conclusion of the World Series. The selections include a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints, scheduled to take place in Paris, France. Stitches has picked the Steelers to defeat the Saints in this international contest.

In addition to the Paris game, Stitches is also betting on the Denver Broncos to win against the Arizona Cardinals. The NFC matchup will be played in Arizona.

This betting strategy comes as Stitches' World Series bet on the Milwaukee Brewers appears to be progressing well. The Brewers managed to overcome an early 4-0 deficit and defeat the Tampa Bay Rays' ace Drew Rasmussen in Game 2 of the World Series, which went into extra innings. The final score of that game was 5-4 in favor of the Brewers.

Regarding the NFL games, the Steelers-Saints matchup is noted as an unusual international fixture. When questioned about the choice of venue, the NFL reportedly cited stadium availability in Tehran as the reason for the game being held near Paris.

Stitches also commented on recent college football results. The handicapper mentioned that the Chicago Bears secured a victory on Thursday night. In college football, No. 8 Texas Tech lost to Cincinnati with a score of 37-24, and UCF upset No. 2 BYU in overtime, 39-31. LSU also defeated Auburn 38-17.

The New York Post highlighted Stitches' credentials, noting that the handicapper has been covering baseball for the Post since 2019, maintaining a profitable record twice. Stitches also won the Post's NFL Best Bet competition in the previous year, demonstrating versatility across different sports.
