The fact that the LAC/ORL under didn’t hit was complete BS, but that’s how this week in NBA betting has gone. Stay cautious, onto Thursday.
NBA Picks
- Lean, Lakers ML
- As much as I can’t stand the Lakers this year, they’re feeling themselves and LeBron is having an amazing season. Philly loves to blow good spots like this at home (6-9 ATS). I have to lean LAL.
- Warriors -6.5 **
- The Warriors have been electric at home (22-4, 16-8-2 ATS) and this is a revenge spot after getting beat by Minnesota 2 weeks ago in a game where GS had no Curry or Klay. All Warriors for me.
- Timberwolves/Warriors under 227.5 *
- Knowing the way these NBA totals have moved, this could rise. GS played a little faster than usual in their last game, especially in the 2nd QTR, so buyer beware here and it’s only 1 unit. Still, the GS defense is too good and they’ll want to slow this game down to keep MIN out of rhythm.
NFL Conference Picks: (new picks in blue)
- 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.
- 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?
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
