Good morning Pickswise Nation and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday of sports. With action in college football, NBA, and the NHL, let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
Underdogs were barking in the NBA
The NBA continues to be unpredictable as 5 underdogs not only covered, but won outright on Tuesday! Those teams included the Suns (+7.5) beating the Grizzlies, the Pacers (+1.5) defeating the Hawks, the Clippers (+5) taking down the Raptors, the Wizards (+4.5) upsetting the 76ers, and the Lakers (+4) dominating the Magic.
Bowl season lives up to the hype
We had 4 more bowl games yesterday, and none of the matchups lacked action. East Carolina highlighted the day by crushing Coastal Carolina 53-29 and Memphis taking down Utah State 38-10. That led to Caleb Wilfinger going 2-0 on his Tuesday best bets article as ECU easily cleared their team total of 36.5 and Utah State covered their -7 spread without a sweat.

A pair of nine-win teams will head to southern California for the Holiday Bowl as Oregon and North Carolina will meet for the first time in both of their school histories. The Ducks, under the first-year head coach, exceeded a lot of expectations, and Lanning will be motivated to get his first bowl win as a head coach. Quarterback Bo Nix had his best season accounting for 41 total touchdowns and leading an offense that scored nearly 40 points per game this year. Read our full Oregon vs North Carolina predictions.
