NBA Props for Friday Jan. 5: How Quickley can he score?

Baby steps. Last night we were 2-2 and generated a little profit, which we will gladly take given how bleak things have been lately. Last night we had two games to choose from; tonight we have 14.

NFL Week 18: Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers betting picks, preview

Chicago can not make the playoffs this season, so we have to take the Bears' second-half surge with a grain of salt. Green Bay can though and we believe all they have to do is win to make that happen.

There is nothing at stake here for the hometown New York Giants. For Philadelphia, a win could mean an NFC East title, if the Dallas Cowboys lose. 

NBA Props for Thursday Jan. 4: Can Wemby get us off the schneid?

Washington earned its way to the Sugar Bowl with a perfect record in the last season of the Pac-12, while Texas won the Big 12 in the Longhorns' last go around the league. This looks like a game where whoever has the ball last, and doesn't blink, wins.
