About Last Night
Chiefs Super Bowl favorites after beating Bills in epic battle
After both underdogs won on Saturday, the Los Angeles Rams made it 3 road dogs winning with a wild 30-27 victory to end the Buccaneers’ defense of their Super Bowl title. Then Buffalo and Kansas City served up one of the sport’s greatest games as the Chiefs won 42-36 in overtime. Among the madness, the Pickswise cappers went 2-0 on the spreads on Sunday, including a 3-star play on Rams +3 from Jared Smith, while PropBetGuy went 4-0 on his prop plays for Sunday’s games. Read Andrew Ortenberg’s verdict on Sunday’s NFL games here!
Super Sunday in the NBA as Pickswise goes 9-2
It was a great day of NBA handicapping for Pickswise as the hoops team went 9-2 on the Sunday sides, hitting with our only 3-star pick of 76ers -1.5. We also cashed our Sunday parlay at +597 odds thanks to the 76ers, Heat and Blazers covering!

Best Bet of the Day
North Carolina Tar Heels -5.5 vs Virginia Tech Hokies
8:00 pm ET, ACC Network
The 10-8 Hokies enter this game after an astonishing loss on the road to Boston College on Saturday. The 12-6 Tar Heels have been carried by their offense this season, but they rank 1st in the ACC in rebounds per game with 40.7, and the Hokies have struggled immensely to rebound on both ends of the court all season. North Carolina is 4-0 against the spread in their last four meetings with the Hokies, and they should comfortably make it 5-0. Check out our full preview of Virginia Tech vs North Carolina.
