It's going to be a chilly weekend, but it's a great weekend to watch sports. I have a lot of picks for you. Before reading the picks, slip into something comfortable and read these stories.

Bucks are first in defensive efficiency and fourth in offensive efficiency. The Sixers are 29th in pace and are inefficient on the offensive end. Bucks are 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 7-2 in last 9 at home. The under is 5/6 in Milwaukee's last six road wins and under 212 in Philadelphia's.

The under is 5-1 in Milwaukee's last six road games and 7-2 in Philadelphia's recent home games.

No. 8 UCLA plays No. 19 Illinois tonight at 9:30 p.m. The game is a test for both teams. The under 145.5 is the favorite. It's a game between two teams that have been top programs in the country the last couple of seasons.

No. 7 USC plays No. 16 UCLA on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. The Trojans are the only team in the Pac-12 that can make a College Football Playoff. The latest odds favor UCLA, but the pick is UCLA +2.5.

No. 22 Oklahoma State Cowboys play Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Cowboys are out of the running for the Big 12 Championship, but they are still the favorite. Quarterback Spencer Sanders was supposed to be unavailable, yet he played last week in the Cowboys' 20-14 win over Iowa State.

Iowa is a better team than Minnesota. Iowa's defense will make it difficult for Minnesota to move the ball. The Gophers have not beaten an FBS team with a winning record this season. Minnesota has won three straight games to get to 7-3.

Bears are playing against the Falcons on Sunday at 1 p.m. The over has hit in four straight Bears games. The games themselves have averaged 63.3 points. Bucks, Sixers won't light up the scoreboard. College basketball, college football and NFL weekend bets are available.

The World Cup begins Sunday in Qatar. It's a lot more difficult to bet on international soccer than club soccer. There are some risks to be aware of during group play this week. Qatar, Iran and Saudi Arabia play together in their home leagues. They could have an advantage in the early matches. Underdogs could be smart bets for the first week or so of matches as teams will be more inclined not to blow it than to win it.

Teams have had little time to prepare for the tournament. The players on their national teams play together in their home leagues. Underdogs could be smart bets for first week or so of matches.
