About Last Night
NFL experts hit parlays of +1582 and +700
We nailed a massive +1582 Same Game Parlay for Jaguars vs Chiefs, hitting Kansas City -9.5, Under 51 and Christian Kirk to score a touchdown. On the late-afternoon schedule, our Cowboys vs Packers +700 SGP cashed when Green Bay prevailed in overtime.
Embiid goes crazy in Sixers victory
Joel Embiid had 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks as the 76ers defeated the Jazz 105-98. Meanwhile, the Lakers picked up a much-needed win by beating the Nets 116-103 even without LeBron James. Anthony Davis stepped up in LeBron’s absence with 37 points and Lonnie Walker IV added 25.
NHL mega parlay cashes at +1160
Our Sunday success was not limited to Same Game Parlays on the gridiron. On the ice, we hit our +1160 mega parlay with Tampa Bay, Boston and Dallas all covering -1.5 puck lines. In fact, all 3 won by at least 3 goals. The Lightning blasted the Capitals 6-3, the Bruins beat the Canucks 5-2 and the Stars destroyed the Flyers 5-1.

Colorado continues title defense
The defending Stanley Cup champion Avalanche (8-4-1) are off to a decent enough start to the 2022-23 campaign and they will host the Blues (5-8-0) on Monday. There is a total of 4 NHL games tonight and all are on ESPN+. You can find out our NHL predictions for tonight.
College basketball Big Monday
Big Mondays in college basketball aren’t really that big at this point in the season, but there are plenty of top 25 teams in action today – 9 to be exact. Third-ranked Houston is hosting Oral Roberts, while #5 Baylor and #8 UCLA are also taking the court. Our college basketball analysis will be going strong throughout the season.
Best Bet of the Day
NBA: Boston Celtics -11 (-110) over Oklahoma City Thunder
7:30 pm ET, NBATV
Boston has won 6 games in a row and is 5-1 at home this season, so this is not looking like a great spot overall for OKC. The Celtics have also covered 4 of their last 5, so even though they are considered the favorites to win the title they are still exceeding expectations. Jayson Tatum has been amazing so far in 2022-23; his numbers are overshadowing the fact that Jaylen Brown is also averaging a career-high in points. If there is 1 team that is designed to shut down an opponent with just 1 wing scorer like the Thunder, it is Boston. The Celtics have 4 to 5 defenders they can run at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, so they can put a fresh guy on him all night without sacrificing any offense. See our full Thunder vs Celtics predictions.

Quote of the Day
“I don’t know if I truly knew everything about how steady he is until you’re around him every single day. When you live it every day, it smacks you in the face every day – like, ‘man, this guy is steady no matter what the situation (is).’ I’d be lying to you if I said, ‘yeah, we picked that up.’ You knew how high his football character was, you knew how high his football intelligence was and his general overall character, as well, but to say that you knew – until you live that with him; I’m sure the Alabama coaches know, I’m sure the Oklahoma coaches know – but until you live that with him, that’s when it becomes really impressive and you really feel it.”
— Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni on quarterback Jalen Hurts
