Another great weekend of sports action is in the books, and today we have the last Monday Night Football game of the season to watch, plus NBA, NHL, college basketball and EPL action. Let’s get straight into it!
About Last Night
Playoff picture coming into focus
With an extra game this season, plenty of NFL issues were still to be resolved at Christmas, but the Week 17 Sunday slate brought some clarity. The Bengals won the AFC North with a wild win over the Chiefs, while the Titans took the AFC South. Meanwhile, the Packers clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a dominant win over Minnesota. Check out all the news from Sunday’s games in our review of what we saw in Week 17.
NBA props streak continues
JutPicks’ selection of over 7.5 Tyrese Haliburton assists made it 6 straight winners in our NBA props articles. Haliburton had 12 as the Kings beat the Heat 115-113.
NHL mega parlay cashes
The Flames ML saw Pickswise cash our only 3-star Sunday NHL pick, and the mega parlay (Avalanche -1.5, Flames -1,5, Devils vs Capitals over) also won at +776 odds.
NCAAB team in form
We also had success with our sole Sunday Best Bet in college basketball (Michigan State -2) and our Sunday parlay (+596 odds!).
Today’s Slate
Big Ben signs off at Heinz Field
The Browns were eliminated from playoff contention by the Sunday wins of the Bengals and Chargers, but they will still be keen to spoil what should be Ben Roethlisberger’s last game at Heinz Field on Monday Night Football, ending the Steelers’ own thin playoff hopes in the process. Read our picks for Browns vs Steelers.
Nets and Warriors star in NBA TV doubleheader
There are 10 games in the NBA tonight, including an NBA TV double bill of Grizzlies vs Nets (7:30pm ET) and Heat vs Warriors (10pm ET). Read our picks for all of today’s basketball.
Oilers and Rangers in the spotlight
There’s just one game left in the NHL today with the Oilers taking on the Rangers at 7pm ET on ESPN+. Check out our picks for today’s game.
Top college basketball teams in action
There’s a small slate of NCAA basketball today but there are some high-quality teams on the hardwood with Purdue, Iowa and Arizona in action. We have picks for today’s top college basketball games.
Best Bet of the Day
Miami Heat +9 vs Golden State Warriors
10pm ET, NBA TV
As an underdog this season, Miami is 10-3 against the spread and the Heat can overcome their current absentee list to cover against the Warriors too. In their last 10 games, Miami ranks 8th in the NBA in Net Rating, outscoring their opponents by 5.6 points per 100 possessions. Golden State has arguably the best roster in the league, but covering this many points is difficult, even against sub-par teams. The Heat should be able to do enough to cover this large spread. Check out our full preview of Heat vs Warriors.
