It’s another terrific Tuesday of sports with NBA, NHL, and college basketball, plus Champions League soccer to enjoy. Let’s get straight into it!

About Last Night

Patriots rush past Bills for 7th straight win
In a memorable Monday Night Football clash played in awful weather, the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills 14-10 to move to the top of the AFC playoff rankings. Patriots QB Mac Jones threw just 3 passes in the game as New England kept it on the ground. Pickswise enjoyed a second straight side and total sweep on MNF, advising Patriots +3 and under 43.5 points, while PropBetGuy’s top play of the under on Cole Beasley’s longest reception was another winner for Pickswise Nation. Find out what Andrew Ortenberg made of both teams in our Monday Night Football reaction.

Pickswise goes 3-0 on NBA Best Bets!
