What a grind this week has been. We finish + units after the Warriors gain distance and win and Purdue proves all the sharps wrong. Onto Friday!
NBA Picks:
- Hawks -2 **
- I really like the way Atlanta is playing right now – balanced, efficient basketball, and they’re at home against a Boston team that could easily get overwhelmed. Trae lights ’em up in the 2nd half.
- Blazers/Rockets over 232 **
- Two fast-paced teams that don’t play defense? If this over doesn’t hit, I quit. No not seriously but, c’mon – with the way these overs are hitting this week, there’s no reason why this one shouldn’t.
- Lean, Pelicans +5.5…
- I can’t pull the trigger just yet since Ingram is questionable but if he plays, I love the Pels to be frisky tonight. They’ve won their last 4 at home and Denver is due some competition.
- Bucks -9 **
- Beatdown city – a healthy Bucks team, at home after a loss, should completely dominate the Knicks tonight.
- Bucks TT over 112.5 **
- These two teams had plenty of offensive success against each other before and NYK’s defense has yet to show signs of sustained improvement. Bucks roll and score plenty tonight. Also like the over.
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.
- 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
