Hi All! How about that day in CBB?! For someone who hasn’t bet it much, not bad. Our NBA picks took a tumble but yesterday was a shitty slate – probably should have just passed. Onward and upward.
Friendly reminder – look up the most famous, “best” handicappers in America and you probably won’t find any that come close to my record the past few years (58%, 57%, etc.). Trust the process and remember it’s a long term game. Don’t sweat the short-term, ever.
I love a lot of favorites today but Sundays in the NBA are always weird. Buckle up and HEY, the NFL Conference Title games are finally here! LFG!
NBA Picks:
- Hornets -6 **
- Charlotte is too fast and talented on offense for LAC to keep up, especially this banged up version of the Clippers. All Hornets for me.
- Cavs -8 *
- This is a big line but Detroit is depleted in the front court and there’s absolutely no reason why Cleveland shouldn’t dominate in the paint all game.
- Bucks -6.5 **
- Horrific spot for the Nuggets on a long road stretch and the Bucks are poised, healthy, and primed for another peak performance at home.
NFL Conference Picks:
- Bengals +7 **
- How many times does Burrow have to prove that he’s elite? In case you missed my Tweet, if there’s a rematch between two teams in the conference championship round, the team that won in the regular season has gone 9-2 since 2014. The Bengals beat KC in Week 17 – and I think they could do it again. I’ll be sprinkling on the ML, too – Burrow is special.
- Burrow over 305 passing yards **
- Mahomes over 305 passing yards **
- Bengals over 23.5 points **
- Bengals/Chiefs over 54.5 **
- Do I really need an explanation here?
- 49ers/Rams 1Q under 9.5 **
- 49ers +3.5 *
- Cautious because the Rams NEED TO beat SF one of these days, and I think they do, but how can this not be a FG game between two divisional rivals?

- Teaser: Chiefs win, Game over 48, Rams +3.5, Game over 38.5 **
If you ever have any questions, message me here, on Twitter, or on Instagram. I will make myself available from 9am to 5pm every day, but please don’t expect an answer outside of those hours. I gotta shut it down sometimes. All picks are 1-5 stars based on unit size and confidence. 3 star picks are rare, 4-5 star picks are VERY rare. -Chris
