About Last Night
College football parlay cashes at +738 odds
We started college football Championship Weekend in style with a +738 odds win on our CFB Friday mega parlay. That included a pick of the Utah Utes to upset the USC Trojans, and they did so in style with a 47-24 victory that opens the door to the top 4 for Ohio State.
Heat take down Celtics in OT
The Miami Heat inflicted only the 5th loss of the season on the Boston Celtics with a 120-116 overtime success as an 8-point underdog. The Pickswise team cashed 3-star plays on Lakers +8 as they beat the Bucks 133-129 and Pelicans -7.5 as they beat the Spurs 117-99.
Dogs have their day in the NHL
All 3 underdogs won on the 3-game NHL slate, including the Jets losing 4-1 to the Blue Jackets and the Predators beating the Islanders by the same score.
Cameroon beats Brazil at the World Cup
Cameroon (+750) caused a huge upset with a 1-0 win over Brazil at the soccer World Cup, although the trophy favorite still won the group. The 3-2 win for Switzerland over Serbia was a nice result for those who tailed our pick of over 3.5 goals in that game at +275 odds.

Best Bet of the Day
NBA: Sacramento Kings ML over Los Angeles Clippers
4:00 pm ET
After cooling off a bit with a 3-game losing streak, the Kings returned to winning ways in style with a 137-114 win over the Indiana Pacers in their last game. They had a solid 2 days of rest before tonight’s game against the Clippers. LA’s Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Luke Kennard have missed the last 5 games and without them the Clippers are 2-3 SU. They got beaten pretty badly by the Utah Jazz in their last game. The Kings have had a few minor bumps in the road lately, but over their last 11 games they have 8 really solid wins. Read our full Kings vs Clippers predictions.
