NBA Props for Tuesday, Dec. 5: Look for a big game from Dame

Last night was another 2-2 evening but we did add some more profit to our season long bankroll. Tyrese Haliburton was awesome in Indiana's win over Boston with a triple-double, alas, he did not lead the game in points.

NBA Props for Monday Dec. 4: 'Ty' one on with Haliburton

This week is very interesting with the NBA In Season Tournament now in elimination mode. Tonight we have just a couple of games to work with, Celtics vs. Pacers and Pelicans vs. Kings. 

NFL Week 13: Cleveland Browns vs. Los Angeles Rams, betting picks, preview

The Browns and Rams have been hard to forecast from week to week. But YB's Matt Wiesenfeld gives it his best shots. 

NFL Week 13: Detroit Lions vs. New Orleans Saints, betting picks, preview

If the Lions are what we want them to be they should have an easy time in the Big Easy on Sunday. They are going to the playoffs for sure. YB's Matt Wiesenfeld has the picks.

NFL Week 13: Denver Broncos vs. Houston Texans, betting picks, preview

Who would have thought this game would actually have playoff implications a month ago? But here we are.

NFL Week 13: San Francisco 49ers vs. Philadelphia Eagles, betting picks, preview

This is likely a preview of the NFC Championship Game. If Philly wins, they are all but assured of hosting that contest, but a loss (which is expected based on the spread), really opens things up for San Francisco (and maybe Detroit or even Dallas).

ACC Championship: Florida State Seminoles vs. Louisville Cardinals betting picks, preview

If Florida State can win somewhat convincingly, they are probably in the College Football Playoffs, but there is a real chance they win and still fail to make the playoff cut.

NBA Props for Thursday Nov. 30: Quickly pick Quickley

Tonight we have a bigger than normal Thursday slate to choose from with nine NBA games on the calendar. That and a clear head should get us back on the winning track.

Big Ten Championship: Michigan Wolverines vs. Iowa Hawkeyes betting picks, preview

These lines are wild. First, you have that large spread. It is common for college football games but not for championship games. Then you have that juxtaposed to that super low total.

SEC Championship: Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide betting picks, preview

How to Bet on Alabama vs Georgia in the SEC Championship Georgia still hasn't lost a game in more than a couple of seasons. There are debates as to whether they can make the playoffs even with a loss, but there is no doubt that Alabama cannot, so there is a lot at stake on Saturday.

Mountain West Championship: Boise State Broncos vs. UNLV Running Rebels picks, preview

UNLV is providing some variety to the Mountain West Championship Game. This is their first time playing in it while their opponent, Boise State, has the most appearances.

NBA Props for Tuesday Nov. 28: Garland worth grabbing

Yesterday was an interesting day, leaving us 1-2 with a slight loss. Needless to say, that is not the start to the week we were looking for. There are eight NBA games on the schedule tonight so let's get back at it.

Big 12 Championship: Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Texas Longhorns betting picks, preview

Oklahoma State might be the least likely team in a Conference Championship Game this week. But here they are, facing the Texas Longhorns for the Big 12 title.

NBA Props for Monday Nov. 27: We've got it made with Cade

After a very profitable week, we gave it all back with an 0-4 record on Friday. Nevertheless, we are in this for the long haul and a new week presents new opportunities.

Pac-12 Championship: Oregon Ducks vs. Washington Huskies betting picks, preview

All in all, there are lots of reasons to watch the Pac-12 championship matchup between the Oregon Ducks and the Washington Huskies, not to mention some great wagering opportunities.

NFL Week 12: New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons, betting picks, preview

Some team is going to win the NFC South and get to host a playoff game, whether they deserve to or not. The winner of this game will go a long toward determining who gets that prize.

NBA Props for Friday Nov. 24: MPJ will fire away 

Happy day after Thanksgiving. On Wednesday, we split but the strategy of only backing + payoffs helped us add to our record total. Tonight we have 10 games to choose from, which should more than suffice.

NFL Week 12: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders, betting picks, preview

Kansas City is hitting the road when things are a little off, and that's less than ideal. On the other hand, Las Vegas has shown some life since firing the coach.

NFL Week 12: Cleveland Browns vs. Denver Broncos, betting picks, preview

The Broncos are 5-5 and definitely in the hunt in the AFC. Cleveland has the better record but will be playing with a rookie QB. And winning at Mile High is never easy. 

NCAAF betting: Best opportunities for Week 13

Michigan vs. Ohio State is going to suck up a lot of oxygen this weekend, that's for sure (and it should), but in a lot of cases, there is bad blood and revenge this week. Let's pick off some games and close strong before Championship Game week. 

NCAAF Week 13: North Carolina Tar Heels vs. NC State Wildcats betting picks, preview

Both of these teams have had solid seasons, posting 8-3 records. North Carolina has gotten more attention thanks to quarterback Drake Maye, but NC State might have been more of an overperformer given their lack of quarterback production.

NCAAF Week 13: Washington State Cougars vs. Washington Huskies betting picks, preview

Kudos to both schools for extending the Apple Cup series for at least a few more years. Washington is hosting this season and they have a ton to lose given they are undefeated and just got into the College Football Playoffs top four. 

NBA Props for Wednesday Nov. 22: The Bucks don't stop here

Monday was a tough go, but last night was a great bounce back. Today we have a pretty full slate of action as the NBA does not play on Thanksgiving. All but two teams are in action. 

NCAAF Week 13: Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines betting picks, preview

This is a game that we have been looking forward to all season and we are getting it in its intended form as both teams are still undefeated. The only thing we are missing is Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines. 

NFL Thanksgiving Week 12: Two player props for Packers vs. Lions

There are going to be lots of ways to get down on the NFL on Thursday and throughout the weekend. Here are some props that caught our eye from the first game of Week 12.
