Maybe you can fit NBA gambling into your NFL Super Wild Card weekend. If so, consider my handicaps below for Hawks-Raptors, Celtics-Hornets, and 76ers-Jazz. You can listen to the audio versions of these handicaps on my recently launched NBA Hoops At Lunch show on the OutKick Bets Podcast feed Monday-Friday. (Buyer beware: It's the "load management"…

Let's try to boost our betting bankrolls heading into the NFL's Super Wild Card Weekend by gambling on a few of these NBA Friday games. There are nine games scheduled to tip-off Friday in the Association and I have gambling looks in Pelicans-Pistons, Knicks-Wizards, and Nuggets-Clippers. You can listen to the audio versions of these handicaps on my…

The PGA Tour wraps up the Hawaii swing with the 2023 Sony Open at Waialae Country Club, teeing off Thursday, January 12th. This is the first-full field event of 2023 and cuts down to the top-65 players after 36 holes. Defending Sony Open champion, and 21st in the Official World Golf Rankings, Hideki Matsuyama headlines a 144-golfer field…

DraftKings Sportsbook wasted no time following the Georgia Bulldogs' thrashing of the TCU Horned Frogs in the title game to open up the 2023-24 College Football Playoff championship odds. Unless you've been living under a rock, you can probably guess the leaders in the clubhouse for CFP title odds. Even though the top-three schools listed are all…

Injuries have weakened what could've been an awesome NBA Tuesday seven-game slate. That said, I do have a few gambling looks in the Cavaliers-Jazz, Magic-Trail Blazers, and Mavericks-Clippers. You can listen to the audio versions of these handicaps on my recently launched NBA Hoops At Lunch show on the OutKick Bets Podcast feed. (Buyer beware: It's…

The defending champion No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs try to become the first team to win back-to-back College Football Playoff titles when they face the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs Monday at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Georgia clobbered LSU 50-30 to win the SEC title while TCU backed into the College Football Playoff after losing to Kansas State in the Big…

Well, after a 0-2 dumpster-fire effort in the NBA Thursday, Imma try to get some of that money back. Usually, I stick with sides when handicapping team sports but my three gambling looks Friday are for the totals in Knicks-Raptors, Nets-Pelicans, and Wizards-Thunder. You can listen to the audio versions of these handicaps on my recently…

The NBA is practicing a form of "load management" league-wide, only scheduling three games on a non-football Tuesday. That's good enough for me though and I have gambling looks in the Celtics-Thunder and Kings-Jazz. You can listen to the audio versions of these handicaps on my recently launched NBA Hoops At Lunch show on the OutKick Bets podcast…

The PGA Tour resumes after a short winter break in the new year at the Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions. This will be a 72-hole, no-cut event with a 39-golfer field. Reigning champion Cameron Smith will not be defending his Sentry title after defecting to the LIV Tour at the end of last…

After a weak Tuesday, the NBA is back with a respectable 12-game slate for Wednesday. Below, I'll handicap and give picks for the Bucks-Raptors, Hawks-Kings, and Heat-Lakers. You can listen to the audio versions of these handicaps on my recently launched NBA Hoops At Lunch show on the OutKick Bets podcast feed. I'm looking at the total in the first…

The Big Ten champion and No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (13-0) face the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs (12-1) Saturday in the Fiesta Bowl of the College Football Playoffs semifinal. Kickoff at State Farm Stadium is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Michigan punched its ticket into the CFP by boat-racing the Ohio State Buckeyes 45-23 in The Game then pummeled the Purdue…

The NBA has nine-game card for New Year's Eve featuring the Grizzlies hosting the Pelicans. Not only do I have analysis and a pick in New Orleans-Memphis but I'm also looking at the total in the Knicks-Rockets. (Buyer beware: The NBA's "load management" stuff is bogus and players are sitting out more games. It would behoove you to wait until the…

The sportsbooks will be pulling for the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes (11-1) when they meet reigning national champion No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs (13-0) in the Peach Bowl for the first round of the College Football Playoff. Per VSIN, nearly 90% of the money at DraftKings Sportsbook is on Georgia to cover as 6.5-point favorites over Ohio State at the time…

The No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers (10-2) face the ACC champion No. 10 Clemson Tigers (11-2) Friday for the Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff. Despite another conference title, Clemson had a down-year by its sky-high standards. Tennessee won 10 games for the first time since 2007 under second-year head coach Josh Heupel. But,…

The UCLA Bruins (9-3) are trying to win their first bowl in the Chip Kelly era (est. 2018) when they play the Pittsburgh Panthers (8-4) in the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas Friday. Pitt has been decimated by the offseason (opt-outs and the transfer portal). While UCLA enters the Sun Bowl almost fully intact. This most certainly explains the line…

The headline is slang for a low-scoring game. That's what I'm expecting in the Alamo Bowl when the No. 21 Texas Longhorns (8-4) meet the No. 12 Washington Huskies (10-2) Thursday at the Alamodome. Texas started the season 2-2 before rallying for a 6-2 finish to make a bowl game in coach Steve Sarkisian's second season in Austin. The Longhorns are…

The Syracuse Orange (7-5) from the ACC are making their third Pinstripe Bowl appearance when they face the Big Ten's Minnesota Golden Gophers (8-4) Thursday at Yankee Stadium. 'Cuse won the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl 36-34 vs. Kansas State in 2010 and its second appearance in 2012 vs. West Virginia 38-14. Orange coach Dino Babers is 2-0 straight up…

After another miserable night betting the NBA, I'm back with a 3-pack of gambling looks in the Lakers-Magic, 76ers-Wizards, and the Suns-Grizzlies. (Buyer beware: The NBA's "load management" stuff is bogus and players are sitting out more and more games. It would behoove you to wait until the final injury reports are released before betting.) My…

Most of the best teams in the NBA are off Monday because they played on Christmas Sunday. However, there is money to made betting the Association and I have a bets in the Jazz-Spurs, Nets-Cavaliers and a player prop in Timberwolves-Heat. (Buyer beware: The NBA's "load management" stuff is bogus and players are sitting out more and more games. It…

The NBA Friday slate is absolutely loaded since the Association takes Christmas Eve off every year and only 10 teams play this Christmas. My favorite gambling looks are in Clippers-76ers, Bucks-Nets, Trail Blazers-Nuggets, and Hornets-Lakers. Wait for the final injury reports to be released before placing a bet because more and more NBA players are…

We are going to the two biggest markets in the country for our NBA best bets Wednesday. Below, I'll break down and give picks for Raptors-Knicks, Lakers-Kings, and Hornets-Clippers. (Buyer beware: The NBA's "load management" stuff is bogus and players are sitting out more and more games. It would behoove you to wait until the final injury reports…

The Monday Night Football game in Week 15 is a bit of a dud so what's wrong with getting some action down on the NBA? My favorite gambling looks in the Association Monday are in Spurs-Rockets, Bucks-Pelicans, and Jazz-Cavaliers. (Buyer beware: The NBA's "load management" stuff is bogus and players are sitting out more and more games. It would…

The NBA is kind of, sort of trying to stay clear of football's way with only seven games tipping off Saturday. I have gambling looks in Jazz-Bucks, Pelicans-Suns, and Heat-Spurs. (Buyer beware: The NBA's "load management" stuff is bogus and players are sitting out more and more games. It would behoove you to wait until the final injury reports are…

The NBA is bringing it Friday with a stacked 10-game card featuring some sick matchups. Hopefully, there isn't random injury news because I'm saying "F*** it" and betting half the slate. My gambling looks are in the Hawks-Hornets, Nuggets-Lakers, Trail-Blazers-Mavericks, and Timberwolves-Thunder. The order of games is completely random and based on…

The NBA is in mid-season form already with this trash slate. It's a bunch of double-digit spreads and matchups with players missing. The NFL comp to this NBA's Sunday card would be if 24 of the 32 teams played backup QBs. Nikola Jokic is one of the few people in American sports with COVID, Chris Paul's foot hurts and most of the Miami Heat's…

The NBA Wednesday slate is headlined by a rematch of last season's Western Conference play-in tourney and Luka Doncic facing off with one of the NBA's best defenses in the Cleveland Cavaliers. My favorite looks in Wednesday's action are in the Timberwolves-Clippers, Warriors-Pacers, and Cavaliers-Mavericks, along with a player prop in Trail…

The NBA is finally seizing one of the few non-football nights of the week. NBA on TNT's doubleheader includes a game between the last two NBA champions - Golden State Warriors at Milwaukee Bucks - followed by the Boston Celtics visiting the Los Angeles Lakers. Below, I'll handicap and make picks for Pelicans-Jazz, Celtics-Lakers, Warriors-Bucks,…

Since Monday Night Football is kind of a stinker, let's take a shot at a couple of NBA games. My favorite looks in the NBA's Monday slate include the Heat-Pacers and Timberwolves-Trail Blazers. Below, I'll break down and give out a bet for each. Both teams have sucked recently. The Heat have lost three of its past four games and are 0-4 against the…

This New Orleans Pelicans team is for real and it's about time we look for ways to profit from them. The juiciest payout for a New Orleans future is Zion Williamson to win 2022-23 NBA MVP (+3000) at DraftKings Sportsbook. Granted, NOLA leads the West by just 1 game, and the 11th-place Minnesota Timberwolves are just five games back of the Pelicans.…

Hand up: It's been a brutal start for ya boy in the NBA. I've profited from betting on the NBA for five years running but it's been a ton of Ls up until this point. It was ugly around this time last season too before I went nuclear after New Year's. Hopefully, it plays out similarly this season. Either way, I'm firing out of this hole and I have a…

All we got is hoops Tuesday and the NBA is kind of letting us down. The Association only scheduled three games but we'll hit both games for the NBA on TNT doubleheader. Below are my looks in the Lakers-Cavaliers and Mavericks-Nuggets games along with a player prop. This is a buy-low spot for Cleveland and/or a sell-high spot for LA. When these…

Hopefully, the NFC South toilet bowl for Monday Night Football doesn't eat up too much of your bank roll because there's are interesting matchups in the NBA. Most notably, a rematch of last year's playoff series between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks. On top of that, I'll break down and give a best bet in the Heat-Grizzlies and…

There's a robust 11-game NBA slate on Wednesday featuring Zion Williamson's New Orleans Pelicans vs. LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers and Trae Young's return to Madison Square Garden. My favorite NBA looks on Wednesday are two home teams: New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers. Atlanta has lost back-to-back road games to the Milwaukee Bucks and…

The Philadelphia Phillies (2-3) head to Minute Maid Park Saturday with their season on the brink to play the Houston Astros (3-2) in Game 6 of the 2022 World Series. The 1st pitch is 8:03 p.m. ET and the game airs on FOX. Philadelphia gives the ball to ace Zack Wheeler (12-7, 2.82 ERA during the regular season) and hopes to get a bounce-back…

I know, I know, it's conference championship weekend in college football and the NFL's Week 13 slate is insane, who cares about the NBA? But, maybe I'll need to make some NBA money to offset football losses. Or, glass-half-full, I can add to my NFL bankroll with NBA winnings. Either way, read below for analysis and best bets in the Rockets-Warriors…

After a weird one-game Thursday slate, the NBA is back with a respectable 11-game card heading into the weekend on Friday. My favorite matchups on the schedule are the Heat-Celtics, Raptors-Nets, and Rockets-Suns. Below, I'll give reasonings for bets made in each contest. This is a good ole Zig-Zag Theory spot after the Celtics waxed the Heat…

The NBA is loading up with a stacked 13-game Wednesday slate because there's only one game scheduled for Thursday. Whatever. I guess I'll do my own "load management" with the NBA. That said, the looks I have Wednesday are in the 76ers-Cavaliers, Grizzlies-Timberwolves, and Clippers-Jazz matchups. The games are broken down in order of my favorite to…

This is a step in the right direction for the NBA after last Sunday's slate was an abomination. At least there are a few interesting matchups, three of which I have best bets on. Below, I'll give a betting break down and picks for the Pacers-Clippers, Mavericks-Bucks, and Warriors-Timberwolves meetings. (The games are handicapped in the order of my…

This is my favorite week in the whole college football season. The college football title games supplanted bowl season since football players have increasingly opted out of bowl games in recent years. Below, I'll handicap my favorite gambling looks in the Utah-USC, Kansas State-TCU, and Clemson-North Carolina conference championships. We are kind…

Personally, Steelers-Colts is a down-week for Monday Night Football so I'm actually excited about the NBA docket. My favorite matchups from a betting perspective are the Hawks-76ers, Cavaliers-Raptors, and Bulls-Jazz. (The games are handicapped in the order of my favorite to least favorite bets). These teams met in their first games of the season…

The NBA takes a backseat Saturday for college football's rivalry week. But, that doesn't mean there isn't money to be made betting professional hoops. Below, I'll handicap the Mavericks-Raptors, Lakers-Spurs and Thunder-Rockets matchups with a best bet in all three. The Mavericks head north of the border for a 5 p.m. ET game against a banged-up…

Most people will either be traveling or partying for Wednesday, Thanksgiving Eve. But I'll be grinding on this NBA slate. My best bets in the Association for Wednesday are in the Mavericks-Celtics, Pelicans-Spurs, Nuggets-Thunder and Kings-Hawks. (The games are handicapped in the order of my favorite to least favorite bets). Both teams are trying…

After an atrocious end to last week, the NBA returns Monday with at least a few decent games. I mean the league is still being plagued with "load management" and injuries but the games aren't as bad as this past weekend. My two gambling looks in the Association Monday are with the Celtics-Bulls and Jazz-Clippers matchups. Below, I'll provide some…

Injuries and/or "load management" have decimated what would've been an awesome NBA slate Tuesday. Ben Simmons makes his return to the City of Brotherly Love when the Brooklyn Nets visit the Philadelphia 76ers. But, Sixers big Joel Embiid and James Harden are both out with injuries. The Memphis Grizzlies hosting the Sacramento Kings should be an…

My favorite gambling looks on the NBA's Friday slate are duels between a couple of the best young point guards and two of the most talented rosters in the league. Below, I'll provide a betting breakdown of both the Celtics-Pelicans and Thunder-Grizzlies and provide the best bet for each. The Celtics take their eight-game winning streak into the Big…

Thursday's 3-game NBA card is complete garbage and can only be made better with gambling. The Association probably doesn't even realize how much sports betting helps its product. Maybe the NBA doesn't want to compete with Thursday Night Football or maybe it's a league-wide "load management" night. Either way, I've got a couple of bets in the…

We are going with all road teams on our Monday bet slip for the NBA. Monday Night Football is the main attraction but consider adding the following NBA wagers to your sports betting account. Miami is the right side when it hosts Phoenix at the FTX Arena for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off because the Heat are healthier and have a strength-on-weakness edge…

Message to all fifty people that are watching the NBA on football Sunday: I have three best bets and a heavy "lean" on the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves at 6 p.m. ET and have two starters listed on the injury report as "questionable": C Jarrett Allen and SG Donovan Mitchell. If these guys can start, we're firing…

Move over college football, there's some money to be made in the NBA on Saturday. I've got betting looks in Celtics-Pistons, Trail Blazers-Mavericks, and Hawks-76ers. The games are broken down in order of my most to least favorite bets. Hopefully, we don't jinx this but the Celtics going Over the total in the second of a back-to-back (B2B) has been…

El Camaleón Golf Course at Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen, Mexico hosts the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. This is the 7th event on the PGA Tour schedule and El Camaleón is a par 71 that plays at 7034 yards.
