About Last Night
Wilson traded to Broncos and Rodgers remains a Packer
As off-season NFL news days go, Wednesday was right up there with the wildest! First, it was revealed that Aaron Rodgers would be staying with the Packers after all with a big-money new deal, but even that was blown out of the water with the news that the Seahawks are trading QB Russell Wilson to the Broncos in a blockbuster deal including 2 first-round picks and 2 second-round picks, plus Drew Lock, Shelby Harris and Noah Fant! The Broncos are suddenly 3rd favorites for the AFC at +700 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook, and +1200 for the Super Bowl, with the Packers favorites to win the NFC at +350 and +750 for the Super Bowl.
Pickswise NBA parlay cashes!
Tuesday’s NBA parlay was a +596 odds winner as the Nets, Grizzlies and Bucks all covered as favorites. The top teams had a solid night, with the Warriors and Suns also adding Ws, although Phoenix failed to cover against the Magic.
NHL Best Bet is a winner
It was a busy day in the NHL on Tuesday, but we had just a single 3-star play and over 6 goals in Ducks vs Blackhawks cashed in style with 11 goals in the game as the Blackhawks won 8-3. There were upsets, too, with the Devils beating the Avalanche, the Flyers beating the Golden Knights, the Senators beating the Blues and the Jets beating the Lightning!

Best Bet of the Day
Washington Huskies -1 vs Utah Utes
11:30 pm ET, Pac-12 Network
It’s going to be a long day of sports, with one of the day’s best bets not starting until 11:30pm ET as the Utes face the Huskies in the 1st round of the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. The Utes’ season was completely derailed by injuries and COVID-19, and they had a 10-game losing streak in January. Utah has not beaten a Pac-12 opponent with a winning record this season. Washington had a better-than-expected season. Terrell Brown Jr. has been sensational for the Huskies and in the most recent meeting against Utah he scored 30 points in a double-overtime win. The Huskies are 17-13 against the spread on the season, and 5-0 ATS as a favorite against PAC-12 opponents. Read our full game preview for Utah vs Washington.
