We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
Ball State to win by 14+ points – Boosted from +175 to +200 with DraftKings Sportsbook
The last week of the regular season in college football kicks off with MACtion between the Ball State Cardinals and the Buffalo Bulls. Neither team has been great this season, but the Cardinals have the opportunity to play their way into a bowl game with a win. They are favored by about a touchdown, which we think they can cover. This prop however, will need them to win by at least 2 touchdowns. The Buffalo defense has let them down this season, so with the extra motivation to play a bowl game, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play in a game the Cardinals will come ready to play.

Gonzaga vs UCLA: Game to be decided by 3 or fewer points – Boosted from +300 to +400 with DraftKings Sportsbook
Tonight we have a rematch between last year’s classic Final Four matchup between the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the UCLA Bruins. The Bulldogs have yet to be tested, but losing 3 of their top players from the Final Four team could make the difference. UCLA has returned pretty much every player from that Final Four team, so there is no reason they cannot keep this game tight. Our experts like the Bruins to cover, but the game could easily be a one-possession contest, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Damian Lillard to record 5+ 3-pointers – Boosted from +240 to +280 with DraftKings Sportsbook
For this prop, we will focus on Damian Lillard and his ability to knock down the 3-pointer. Lillard has struggled from downtown this season, shooting 29.1%. He is averaging 2.75 3-pointers made per game, and made 5 in just 3 games. Playing Denver might not yield a better 3-point performance as the Nuggets rank 7th in 3-point defense. For that reason, this prop is likely best stayed away from.

Anthony Davis & Julius Randle to combine for 50+ points – Boosted from +120 to +130 with DraftKings Sportsbook
This prop will need a huge game from both Anthony Davis and Julius Randle. LeBron James is set to serve his one-game ban tonight, which right away should yield more opportunities for Davis. He is averaging 24.6 points per game, while Randle is averaging 20.4 points per game. The absence of James should also lead to a less intense defensive effort from the Lakers, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Both Nashville SC & Seattle Sounders to win (90 mins & stoppage time only) – Boosted from +170 to +250 with FanDuel Sportsbook
This parlay needs 2 MLS teams to win and advance to the next round of the playoffs. Note this prop states that both the Seattle Sounders and Nashville SC will need to win in regulation, so the game cannot go to extra-time. Our experts love the Sounders to beat Real Salt Lake tonight, but are expecting a tie after 90 minutes between Orlando and Nashville. For that reason, this parlay is probably best avoided.

Dallas Stars, Calgary Flames & Tampa Bay Lightning all to win – Boosted from +320 to +420 with FanDuel Sportsbook
For this parlay, we need 3 NHL teams to win their games: the Dallas Stars against the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames against the Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning against the Philadelphia Flyers. Our experts actually only like the Flames in their respective matchup as the Stars faces an elite Oilers offense and the Lightning are missing a key player. For that reason, this parlay is likely best avoided.
