Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another wonderful day of sports. The World Cup rolls on today with a number of exciting matchups, including USA vs Iran. There’s also NBA, NHL and college basketball action today, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Great Week 12 of NFL picks
The Pickswise NFL team was in fine form on Monday, as Clevta easily cashed his Steelers +2.5 pick, while Caleb Wilfinger cashed his Steelers vs Colts Same Game Parlay at +601 odds! We also hit Michael Pittman Jr. as one of our anytime touchdown scorer best bets. These results capped off a weekend in which our NFL handicappers went 18-8 on sides and totals and cashed 4 SGPs!
More exciting World Cup action
It was another wild day of World Cup action and our handicappers hit a pair of plus-money winners at +105 and +310 odds. We also had a +400 anytime goal scorer winner with Mohammed Kudus tallying a goal for Ghana. That match between Ghana and South Korea was one of the best of the tournament, and was followed up by a 2-0 Portugal win over Uruguay that featured plenty of drama. Cameroon tied with Serbia 3-3, while Brazil edged out Switzerland 1-0.
Busy night in the Association
Monday featured a 10-game slate in the NBA and produced some surprising results. Yes, the Celtics kept rolling with another win, but the Wizards nearly dropped 150 points on the Timberwolves and the Raptors held the Cavs to 88 points in a victory. The Nuggets stayed hot with a commanding win over the Rockets while the Bulls defeated the Jazz in Utah for their 3rd win in 4 games.

Best Bet of the Day
World Cup: USA ML (+100) over Iran
2:00 pm ET
The USMNT is stuck on 2 points in World Cup Group B despite playing some excellent soccer, but can clinch qualification for the Round of 16 by defeating Iran. The Stars and Stripes would rather be in a better position than this, but the players know that anything less than victory will not be enough. Iran’s position is more complicated because the underdogs would progress with a tie as long as Wales fails to beat England in the group’s other game. Carlos Queiroz’s team may approach the game more cautiously and that may work against them. Read our full USA vs Iran predictions.
