About Last Night
Ducks quack under pressure
The big news of NCAAF Week 12 was No. 3 Oregon’s shock 38-7 defeat to No. 23 Utah, which looks set to see the Ducks plunge out of the top 4. The undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats look in position to pounce after moving to 11-0 with a 48-14 win over SMU, but the Ducks’ demise also gives hope to Notre Dame, Oklahoma State and 2-loss Alabama. 11-0 Georgia is -125 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook to win the NCAAF FBS National Championship. Check out what Connor Grootenhuis made of all Saturday’s action in our College football Week 12 reaction.
Wizards keep up strong home start
Saturday’s NBA slate saw the Washington Wizards keep up their strong start at home with a 103-100 win over the Miami Heat, taking them to 7-1 in front of their own fans and 11-5 overall. The Utah Jazz beat the Sacramento Kings 103-105 to cash our only Saturday 3-star NBA pick of Jazz -8.
Top teams stay strong in NHL
The Hurricanes, Panthers, and Oilers all added to their win totals in the NHL on Saturday, but the 12-6-1 Toronto Maple Leafs were upset by the 7-6-4 Pittsburgh Penguins, who won 2-0 with 2 first-period goals.

Best Bet of the Day
Green Bay Packers -1.5 vs Minnesota Vikings
1pm ET, FOX
The Green Bay Packers improved to 8-2 with last week’s win over Seattle. They have surrendered a grand total of 58 points over their past 5 outings, an averaging of 11.6 points per game. Running back Aaron Jones (knee) is out, but with Aaron Rodgers back and the defense in fine form his absence can be overcome. Minnesota is just 4-5 on the year and its last 3 wins have come by a combined 9 points. The Packers are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 overall, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 on the road and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 against the NFC. Minnesota is 5-11 ATS in its last 16 overall, 1-7 ATS in its last 8 at home, and 3-8 ATS in its last 11 against the NFC. Go with Green Bay and do so with confidence. Check out our full preview of Packers vs Vikings.
