With all 30 MLB teams in action for the final full day of the regular season, a loaded NFL slate, and two playoff games over in the WNBA, it’s going to be easy to get overwhelmed on Sunday.

You’re going to have to pick your spots with so much potential action on the board. Sometimes less is more—don’t go throwing your money on 20 games when three can fill your pockets just as easily.

Here are our three best bets for a busy Sunday:

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

When Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love had to be helped off the field in Week 1, it looked like we wouldn’t be seeing him for a while.

Love ended up getting diagnosed with a left MCL sprain, an injury that was supposed to keep him on the shelf for three to six weeks.

Here we are, three weeks later, and the 25-year-old is expected to take the field against Minnesota.

Chances are Love isn’t at 100 percent, but he doesn’t have to be to direct an offense that racked up 188 yards on the ground in last Sunday’s 30-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Josh Jacobs served as the lead back, getting 14 carries for 43 yards, but we saw second-year man Emanuel Wilson shoulder a pretty hefty workload, too.

Wilson had 50 yards on 12 touches, and he should get more chances to shine on Sunday with a banged-up Love looking to lean on the running game.

The pick: Emanuel Wilson to rush for 25+ yards, +125 (DraftKings)

San Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks

A loss on Sunday could effectively end the season for Arizona.

The Diamondbacks enter their meeting with San Diego tied with the Mets for the third and final National League wild-card spot. New York owns the tiebreaker because of a 4-3 edge in the season series with Arizona, and it also has two games in hand.

The Mets’ season won’t end until Monday, as the club will play a pair of makeup games against the Atlanta Braves.

So, Sunday’s game is essentially a must-win for Arizona. Win, and hope New York loses, and some serious pressure gets put on the Mets. Lose, and one victory from New York would signal the beginning of the offseason.

We trust that the Diamondbacks will be giving their all in this one.

The pick: Diamondbacks -1.5 spread, +105 (DraftKings)

Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty

Few teams have figured out how to contain Las Vegas star A’ja Wilson. But maybe New York is one of them.

Wilson, the first unanimous MVP in WNBA history since 1997, averaged 22.5 points in two games against the Liberty during the regular season. In both meetings, New York managed to keep her relatively far away from the 30-point mark, which she reached 11 times this year.

Offense likely won’t come easy in a battle against the top-seeded Liberty, and while Wilson will probably end up being among the Aces’ top scorers, don’t expect her to be able to torch New York.

The pick: A’ja Wilson under 24.5 points, -120 (DraftKings)
