Good morning, Pickswise Nation. The good news is that we can quickly forget last night’s so-called NFL game with the MLB Playoffs and NHL regular season starting today, plus college football games tonight. Let’s not ever speak of Broncos vs Colts again and instead get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
Colts win a terrible Thursday game
Oh no, we have to speak of the Broncos vs Colts game again already… Okay, somehow the Colts won a touchdown-free contest 12-9 after overtime. Just imagine what that looked like if you were one of the lucky folks who didn’t see it. For the record, the Colts (2-2-1) covered as 3-point underdogs and Clevta’s NFL pick of under 43.5 points was never in any danger.

Best Bet of the Day
CFB: San Jose State Spartans -6.5 over UNLV Rebels
10:30 pm ET, CBSSN
The UNLV Rebels are 4-1 this season with their only loss coming against Cal, while San Jose State lost a close one to Auburn but are 3-1 and have looked like a pretty complete football team. They are averaging 367.5 yards per game, and allowing only 15.8 points per game. San Jose State is 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games and playing at home. Their defense should be able to get enough stops to cover this spread. Read our full UNLV vs San Jose State predictions.
