Thursday has arrived, and what a day of sports we’re in for! We’ve got Thursday Night Football and MLB playoffs, plus NBA, NHL and college football action to get hyped up for. Let’s get right into breaking them down and making your next bet better!
About Last Night
Braves and Astros on the brink of World Series
The Braves pulled off a huge 9-2 win over the Dodgers yesterday to go 3-1 up in their NLCS series, meaning they need just one more victory in the final three games to make it to the World Series. The Astros also crushed the Red Sox 9-1 to take a 3-2 series lead in the ALCS, with Houston now the -105 favorite to win it all. The Braves are +180, while the Dodgers are now +600 with the Red Sox at +1000 with FanDuel Sportsbook.
NBA best bets begin with a bang
With the new NBA season came our first three-star basketball play, and it proved to be an easy winner as the San Antonio Spurs covered the 5.5-point spread to crush the Magic 123-97. Check out our picks for each of today’s NBA matchups.

Best Bet of the Day
Denver Broncos vs Cleveland Browns, under 42.5 points
8:20pm ET, NFL Network
This game has low-scoring battle written all over it. The Broncos have been a defense-first team for years and now they get to take on a Browns team that has seen its offense absolutely decimated by injuries. As for Denver, they have struggled to put points on the board themselves lately and could also struggle against Cleveland’s stern run defense. Read our full-game preview for Broncos vs Browns.
