One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a very nice payout with odds of +1082 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
College Basketball: Kansas Jayhawks -5.5 over Indiana Hoosiers (-110), 12:00 pm ET
Kansas looks to be the real deal, as they have posted recent wins at Missouri and at home against Seton Hall, both blowouts. This team seems to be hitting its stride as it gets ready to head into conference play. I fully expect they will keep it rolling at home this afternoon, and they should cover this spread comfortably. Indiana seems a bit overvalued at the moment too, which makes this a great spot for bettors. For that reason, backing the Jayhawks will be the play.

NHL pick today: Edmonton Oilers -1.5 over Anaheim Ducks (-130), 4:00 pm ET
The Ducks simply aren’t nearly as talented of a team as Edmonton. Anaheim kept the first meeting close last year, but the next 2 were wins for the Oilers by final scores of 7-3 and 6-1. Even the Coyotes have been better than the Ducks this season, and Edmonton smashed them 8-2 just over a week ago. Therefore, backing the Oilers on the puck line will be the play this afternoon.

NFL pick today: Cleveland Browns -2.5 over Baltimore Ravens (-120), 4:30 pm ET
It says something that a 5-8 team is favored against a 9-4 team. Much of that has to do with the Ravens’ uncertainty at quarterback. Regardless of who is under center, the Ravens’ offense has struggled as of late, failing to score more than 16 points in three of their last four games.
The weather could also be a factor as high winds are expected. This favors Cleveland statistically as the Browns have the second-best rush defense at home this year allowing just 73 yards per game to opponents. Because of the defensive advantage for the Browns, backing them to win and cover will be the play.

College Football pick today: SMU Mustangs -4 over BYU Cougars (-110), 7:30 pm ET
SMU is in its first season under head coach Rhett Lashlee and is happy to be bowl eligible and over .500 for the fourth year in a row. BYU on the other hand, is in a disappointing season in their 7th year under head coach Kalani Sitake. They finished 7-5 and went on a 4-game losing streak at one point in the season.
SMU is trending upward having covered the spread in 4 of their last 6 games while BYU is trending downward and are 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games. For that reason, backing the Mustangs to cover will be the play.
