About Last Night
Mr Thursday Night takes record to 14-2 as Vikings hold off Steelers
NFL Week 14 began with the Minnesota Vikings beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-28 in a game Minnesota once led 29-0. For once the Vikes left themselves enough room to survive a late rally. Andrew Wilsher was at it again with his picks of Vikings -3 and over 44.5 both cashing comfortably. He is now 14-2 with his TNF picks over the past 9 weeks! Read what Ricky Dimon made of the game in our TNF reaction article.

The Pickswise NHL team smashed their Thursday picks, going 8-2 on the sides for the 10-game slate and cashing both our Thursday NHL parlay at +606 odds (Blackhawks ML, Ducks ML, Predators ML) and the Thursday mega parlay at +1117 odds!
NBA props streak reaches 7
The Jazz, Grizzlies, and Spurs were the 3 Thursday winners in the NBA, while JutPicks took our NBA props winning streak to 7 with Dejounte Murray going over 15.5 rebounds and assists.

Best Bet of the Day
Florida Panthers (3-way ML) vs Arizona Coyotes
9pm ET, ESPN+
Florida has the best record in the NHL (17-4-4), while Arizona (5-18-2) has the worst. The Coyotes have shown flashes but recently they have regressed, losing 4 of their last 5 games and being outscored 19-7. This game should be dominated by the Panthers. Offensively, they rank 2nd in expected goals per 60 minutes, goals scored and goals per game, while the Coyotes rank last or next to last in all those categories. Defensively, these teams are technically ranked closer — but it’s still a wide gap. The Panthers should control this game from puck drop, so take them on the 3-way money line. Read our full game preview for Panthers vs Coyotes.
