NBA props for Wednesday April 17: Best bets for Hawks-Bulls

Yesterday we got the first two play-in games and tonight we will get two more. Tonight the games are interesting, and good betting opportunities exist.

NBA props for Tuesday 4/16: We like some treys from Trey

Tonight we have the first of a few nights of NBA play-in action. There is nothing better than a single-game elimination for real drama.

NFL Betting: The case for the Over on the Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts finished 9-8 last season, which when you think about it is pretty amazing. Yet in year two, the market is saying reaching that same win total is unlikely.  

NFL betting: The case for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Over 8.5 wins

This is another look at a team that we can get a positive payoff right now, oddly enough it's another NFC playoff team (that won a game) from a year ago.

NBA props for Friday 4/12: And the KAT came back

This is the last post of the regular season so let's go get 'em. The NBA might have the best playoffs, for enjoyment and wagering. 

NBA Props for Thursday 4/11: Back Scoot, bag loot

Tonight we have a lighter schedule with only five NBA games. The Pelicans at the Kings should be entertaining and the Knicks visit Boston in a battle of big brands.

NBA props for Wednesday 4/10: We like Kyle by a mile 

Tonight there are eight games in the NBA. With such a busy schedule last night, several teams are in back-to-backs.

NFL win totals: The case for the Over with Green Bay

The Green Bay Packers won nine regular-season games a year ago and have proof of concept with quarterback Jordan Love. How many can the Pack win this coming season? 

NBA Props for Tuesday 4/9: KD is OK with us

With college hoops done for the season, we are now "stuck" with the NBA the rest of the way. That is not too bad, but it can be a little tricky as this part of the season has so many variables we did not have to deal with in the middle.

NBA props for Friday 4/5: GG has the hot hand

The return of March Madness is almost upon us. Until then, let's keep banging on the books ... deal? Tonight we have most of the NBA in action, 12 games in total.

NBA props for Thursday 4/4: Small slate, big opportunities

So. so, close. We were really feeling good about last night's Brandon Miller leading all-scorers prop but he came up a point short of fellow rookie Scoot Henderson. Tonight we have a small schedule with just five NBA games.

NBA Props for Wednesday 4/3: Pelicans' JV has the Magic touch

Yesterday we were 1-3 on NBA props, just a rebound or a block away from 3-1, but such is the daily grind of this game. I can handle some near misses though I also respect those who say a loss is a loss.

NBA props for Tuesday 4/2: Hurry, back Murray

2-2 with some profit yesterday. Things are getting tougher with more and more players being ruled out for the rest of the season and those who will be filling those roles not always clear.

NBA props for Monday 4/1: Mikal Bridges leads to a Net gain

Happy April! The NBA season ends on April 14 so we have just a couple of more regular-season weeks to hammer the sportsbooks and build that bankroll before the real moneymaking happens in the playoffs.

NBA props for 3/29: Big 12-game slate means lots of opportunities

We head into the weekend off a 2-2 record with a small profit yesterday. We have another night of March Madness but the NBA is not holding back, as there are 12 games tonight.

NBA props for 3/28: Beasley should go over easily

Happy Thursday! This is going to be a great day with March Madness and MLB Opening Day. Tonight, there are just a couple of NBA games on the docket. Let's see if we can still find some winners, shall we?

NBA props for 3/27: Amen will get the last word

Tonight there are 12 NBA games on the schedule. Looks like the Association wanted to load up before the return of the NCAAs. Phoenix at Denver is the one we circled so it looks like we're going to be up late. 

NBA props for 3/26: Call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday won't be so bad

It was a classic Monday, where nothing went right. Tuesdays are usually when we right the ship though, and start the slow build for a profitable week.  

MLB futures: Which pitcher will have the most victories?

Victories are not always a sign of pitching excellence but whoever has the most, it is generally a good thing, for them and their team. So who will have the most wins in the bigs this season?

NBA props for Monday 3/25: Getting the max out of Maxey 

As you manage the lull before March Madness resumes Thursday afternoon, which also "kicks off" MLB proper by the way, here are some plays from the 11 games in the Association tonight.

MLB futures: Stolen base race could be wide open this season

Last year with all of the rule changes we saw an increase in steals overall and it just makes the game so much more fun. And there could be a great stolen base race this season.

NBA props for Friday 3/22: Count on this guy for threes

I hope the first day of the Tournament did not treat you too harshly, not like Wednesday did in our NBA props picks. If you are looking for some second-, third- or fourth-screen action, tonight we have eight NBA games on the card.

MLB futures: Who can knock Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. from run-scoring throne?

Technically the season has started. However, DraftKings is still taking bets on season stats leaders because it was only a couple of teams that got the season going in Seoul.  

NBA props for 3/20: Double your pleasure on the Cavaliers

We have more First Four games tonight (I am backing Colorado and Montana State) and eight NBA games. Milwaukee is in Boston, so at least there is that. I am not sure we get the game we are hoping for though. 

MLB futures: A new set of stars ready to emerge in the hit leader market

A look at the hit leader market lets us focus on a batch of very good hitters, including some guys who use their speed as a weapon.
