NFL Divisional Round betting guide

Gone are the days of 16 games to highlight here in our weekly betting guide, but as the saying goes: quality over quantity. This weekend's Divisional Round brings with it four great games, and we have a bet for each one.

Everything points to a big weekend for Eagles TE Goedert

Cashing that safer SGP yesterday helped to put extra money in our pockets before the weekend, and the best approach we see is to reinvest the profits for the divisional round.

NHL Thursday bets: Navigating a big slate with five plays

We have quite the NHL slate tonight, 13 games in all. This amount of action both makes it more difficult to find our spots while simultaneously making it a bit easier.

Parlay-vous francais? Say merci buckets to these Paris parlays

The NBA is hitting Paris today for the second global game of the season, and with the action tipping off at 3 p.m. ET, why wouldn't we dig in to get our day started right?

The Divisional Round in the NFL playoffs offers us some of the best quality matchups we'll see all season, and the best part is it's on a continuous cycle.

NHL Wednesday bets: Two team totals for tonight

We need to figure things out on the ice this week, there's no denying it's been a rough go thus far. Tonight I'm erring for a bit of simplicity, bringing forth my two favorite team totals and leaving the props on the cutting room floor.

NHL bets: Five plays for Tuesday 1/17

Monday wasn't quite the start I would have wanted in the NHL. We'll look to change our fortunes and regain some positive momentum on the ice for tonight with a handful of looks, starting in Philadelphia.

These hockey props have us all revved up

For much of the winter, our focus here is going to shift between the NBA and NHL. With eight games on the ice compared to just four on the hardwood, it's hockey that gets the nod today.

NHL Monday bets: Five shots on goal props to start the week

The NHL begins today with a packed schedule, and many games have already begun. We skipped the early slate here, but there's plenty of action worth consideration. Five looks in particular stand out, let's dig in.

Bucs receivers are catching on

It's been a fun weekend of football up to this point, and thanks to the new playoff schedule, we get one more night of action. It's Dallas vs. Tampa Bay to cap off "Super Wild Card Weekend."

NHL Saturday bets: Keep the shots flowing

Last we chatted, we had ourselves a clean night in the Shots on Goal market while falling on our face in the Team Total department. That has us leaning toward focusing more on SOGs on this fine Saturday slate, though we have to include one team total look as well.

By George, Kittle's the man this weekend

We've been putting in prep all week for this moment: it's time for Super Wild Card Weekend in the NFL. Yes, we have picks, but we've also put together resources that can help guide you on your way to building your own favorite plays.

It's more than just a weekend on our hands here, as the NFL Wild Card games stretch into Monday night with a matchup between Dallas and Tampa Bay.  

NHL Thursday bets: Totals and SOGs for a loaded night on the ice

It feels as if we've left some money on the table the last few nights, and while it hasn't been a bad week, it hasn't been a great one either. With 12 games on the NHL schedule tonight, I see that changing tonight.

Philly's Embiid in a nice spot for assists

We know that everyone is missing "Thursday Night Football," but that is more than remedied by six games in the NBA games and 12 in the NHL. Whether you prefer hoops or the ice, we aim to please all.

This is one of the most exciting football weekends of the year. We have six games to take in: two on Saturday, three on Sunday, and one on Monday night.

NHL bets: Four plus-money plays for Wednesday 1/11

Four games tonight on the ice, and we've got some solid value on the board in the form of four bets. It's a prop heavy night in the NHL. 

NFL betting trends for each Wild Card matchup

It's a good time to scan the board and the betting trends for each NFL team on this Wild Card Weekend. We have the benefit of each game this weekend not being the first between the two teams this season.

NHL bets: Team totals and SOG props for 1/10

Yesterday was a strange night on the ice, with three teams being shut out entirely. The expectation here is that was nothing more than an anomaly, so we'll continue trusting our initial reads in the NHL.

Take your best shot with these shooters

Well, that wasn't much of a game. We certainly missed on TCU covering the spread but made up for it with that Duggan-Bowers TD parlay! For tonight, we're going to stick with the prop route and load up a spot both on the hardwood and the ice.

NHL bets: Four plays for Monday 1/9

It's a new week on the ice, and I for one would like to keep up the momentum we had this past week. There's only four games tonight but there are some good-looking spots for wagers.

Bowers powers TD parlay for tonight's Natty

Tonight is all about college football. Georgia will be looking to win its second straight championship, while TCU is looking to prove it belongs. With the over/under set at 63.5 points, it's clear the expectation is an exciting display of offense.

NHL bets: Totals and two props for Friday 1/6

It's been a fun week of hockey, so let's keep our pulse on the action and load up a few looks for Friday night in the NHL. Whether you like betting on totals or props, we've got a pair of each.
