About Last Night
Cowboys suppress Saints, cash winners for Pickswise
The Dallas Cowboys earned a 27-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints in what was a pretty poor game to watch. However, if you were tailing Pickswise’s bets then you will have been delighted with what you saw. We had the Cowboys -4 and under 47.5, both of which cashed fairly easily, while PropBetGuy’s pick of Ezekiel Elliott under 70.5 rushing and receiving yards was another comfortable winner. Find out our picks on the side and total for all of this weekend’s NFL games.
Grizzlies grind down Thunder in NBA demolition
Something must have been in the water over in Memphis, because the Grizzlies completely obliterated the Thunder last night, winning 152-79. OKC +72.5 bettors must be licking their wounds right now. Elsewhere, the Raptors brought the Bucks’ winning streak to an end, while the Suns continued to roll with a solid win over the Pistons.
Islanders lose again at UPS Arena
The Islanders’ run of failing to win in their new arena continued as the Sharks beat them 2-1 in overtime. New York is in free-fall and hopes of a playoff run this year are already beginning to diminish.
Today’s Slate
College football championship games get underway
Championship week in college football kickstarts tonight with a doubleheader, as Western Kentucky faces UTSA in the C-USA Championship game (7pm ET, CBSSN), before the Oregon Ducks battle the Utag Utes in the Pac-12 Championship (8pm ET, ABC). Check out our predictions for those games and the rest of this weekend’s championship matchups.
Battle of Los Angeles set as Clippers take on Lakers
Neither the Clippers nor Lakers have gotten off to an ideal start this NBA season, but they will each be desperate to give their fans something to cheer about when they face off in the Staples Center tonight (10:00 pm ET, ESPN). Read our picks for that clash and all of tonight’s NBA games.
Five-game NHL slate
We have five games happening on the ice this evening with some intriguing matchups to look forward to, including the red-hot Oilers taking on the Kraken. Check out our picks for today’s NHL.
Best Bet of the Day
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers -1 over UTSA Roadrunners
7:00 pm ET, CBSSN
The Roadrunners will have their hands full on defense with Bailey Zappe and the Hilltoppers’ top-ranked passing offense in the country. Zappe continues to put up video-game numbers each time he takes the field and he is the primary reason why Western Kentucky has totaled at least 42 points in 7 of its last 8 games. The Hilltoppers were -3.5 favorites when these teams first squared off in October, and that game came down to a goal-line stand by UTSA to seal a 1-possession victory. Since that point, the Hilltoppers have been a machine. Read our full game preview for Western Kentucky vs UTSA.
