Congratulations to the Georgia Bulldogs and welcome to another terrific Tuesday of sports. The college football season finished with a great game last night, but today we have NBA, NHL, college basketball and soccer to enjoy. Let’s get straight into it!
About Last Night
Bulldogs win first national title for 41 years
Georgia beat Alabama 33-18 to win the College Football Playoff National Championship in Indianapolis on Monday night and Pickswise signed off the season in style too, with Caleb Willfinger giving winning plays on the Georgia money line and under 52.5 points. Ricky Dimon hit the spot with 2 of his 3 player props for the game too. Read our reaction to Georgia vs Alabama.
Bucks-Hornets same game parlay cashes
The Charlotte Hornets kept up their strong home form by beating champions the Milwaukee Bucks 103-99, and Pickswise capper Filip Tomic cashed a sweet +817 same game parlay on the Hornets ML and player points overs for Khris Middleton and Terry Rozier. The Pickswise team as a whole went 5-2 on the sides on Tuesday’s slate.
NHL Best Bet cashes
It was a quiet night in the NHL but the team still went 1-for-1 on NHL Best Bets as the total soared over 5.5 in the Bruins’ 7-3 win over the Capitals!

Best Bet of the Day
Kentucky Wildcats -6 vs Vanderbilt Commodores
7pm ET, ESPN
The Wildcats bounced back from their loss to LSU in a big way against Georgia on Saturday and they are going to be very tough for Vanderbilt to beat tonight. Vanderbilt pulled an upset on the road at Arkansas last week, but then lost at home to South Carolina on Saturday. The Wildcats have advantages across the board and they shouldn’t have to play their best game to cover. If they do it could be a blowout. Read our full game preview for Kentucky vs Vanderbilt
