Denver visits Los Angeles a game ahead of the Chargers in the AFC West (and conference) standings. There is still a lot of work to be done by both teams if they are going to make the playoffs.

NFL Week 14: Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cleveland Browns betting picks, preview

The intrigue around this Jags-Browns game centers on the status of Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence, who is questionable. For Cleveland, you have veteran castoff Joe Flacco. It's hard to judge which is the better of the two situations.

NBA Props for Thursday Dec. 7: No lyin' we're flyin' with Zion

Last night we were 1-3, and one of the results illustrated the classic risk of betting on player props in any sport. Let's get back to work tonight, as we have the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament. 

NBA Props for Wednesday Dec. 6: OG is OK with us
