NFL Draft is on tap all day long

We know there are four playoff games tonight: three in the NHL and one in the NBA, but it's time for the NFL Draft! Oh, NFL, how we've missed you. There is quite the betting market for the NFL Draft, and after weeks of scanning the rumor mill, mock drafts and the odds, we've settled on three of our favorites for tonight.

NHL playoff bets: Four props for 2-game slate on 4/26

We nailed all three picks last night, and now it's about carrying that momentum into a new day. Wednesday's NHL schedule brings forth just two games, but there are some intriguing prop betting angles worth diving into.  

NFL Draft bets: AFC West teams' first pick odds

The Denver Broncos do not have a pick until the third round because of the Russell Wilson trade, so they are not offered in this NFL Draft preview of the AFC West. But there's still plenty to bet on.

The NFL Draft is fast approaching, with the first round set for Thursday night. We've covered most of the divisions and their respective teams' drafting needs, and our penultimate feature is the AFC South.

NHL playoff bets: Two SOG props and one goal-scorer bet for Tuesday night

We need to get back on track with our bets in these NHL playoffs, and Tuesday's three-game slate seems like the right opportunity to do so. We're keeping it simple tonight, looking to two high-volume players returning home.

It's it's Tuesday, it must be Props Day

Well, Monday was not an ideal start for us here, but we have a new day and will turn now to the player prop market rather than wager on a winner. With six playoff games on the docket, there's plenty to parse through.

NFL Draft bets: AFC North teams' first pick odds

The NFL draft is here, and we're flying through each division and the odds for each team's first position drafted. Today we turn to the AFC North.

NHL playoff bets: A bet for each game tonight

This second week of Round 1 is an exciting one. We start to get a feel for the series and how to approach each from a betting perspective. For tonight's NHL slate, we have a bet on a total, a winner, and three player props.

NBA bets: Giannis or no, here's two ways to go

We hope you enjoyed that jam-packed weekend of sports. We're still catching our breath. There's no end in sight, which to be clear is a good thing. Tonight brings with it two pivotal Game 4s in the NBA and four equally-important games in the NHL.

NHL playoff bets: Two bets built around the Rangers and Avalanche

There's a lot of ways we could attack today's NHL playoff slate. Sometimes simplicity may just be best, and in that vein we're rolling with just two plays today, both built around the same outcomes.

NBA playoff bets: Four player props for Saturday 4/22

It's a packed sports day here on this fine Saturday, with four NBA games tipping off. For Philadelphia and Phoenix, they can take control of their series with a win today.

NFL Draft bets: NFC South teams' first pick odds

The NFL Draft is here, and we're rolling through each division and each team to see the odds on which position they grab first. The NFC South is an interesting study, a division that does feel up for grabs.

It's Smart to back Marcus tonight

How's that for a clean 2-0 night?! We cashed Sixers -4.5 and Avalanche win in regulation by the skin of our teeth. They hit even sweeter in moments like that, and now we best carry this momentum into the Friday postseason slate.

Don't look now, but we got four NHL playoff bets for tonight

Last night's article saw us go 1-2, but we now return to a set of four games in these NHL playoffs that have been treating us well all week. The locations have swapped, and that opens betting opportunity.

NFL Draft bets: NFC North teams' first pick odds

The NFL Draft is here, and it's time to take one more look at the betting market. Except in extreme cases, like Carolina being sure to take a quarterback, we can bet on which position will be the first pick for each team.

NHL playoff bets: One bet on a winner and two player props

We had ourselves a clean sweep here yesterday. Let's keep that train rolling as we navigate to the other half of the Round 1 matchups. These series did not treat us so well in Game 1, but that opens up some new possibilities and looks.

Look for Sixers to muscle their way past Nets

Thursday's slate brings with it seven more postseason games. We're hitching our wagon to a pair of winners this evening as we start to get a feel for how these series are shaking out.

KD is why we're backing Suns to cover

Well, Tobias Harris did his job for us, but David Pastrnak most certainly did not. Keep that in mind for tomorrow — Pasta is sure to have better games ahead. As for today, let's get back to work.
