Celtics shit the bed, good thing we only had 1 unit on it (and that was why; Celtics be the Celtics!)– onto Friday!
Got some NFL plays in here but PLEASE proceed with caution. Full injury reports don’t come out until Saturday morning and plenty could change before kickoff with COVID, rest, motivational changes, etc.
NFL Earlies, Week 18:
- Broncos +11 * (line is too high)
- Cowboys -5 ** (I don’t see why/how the Cowboys don’t use this as a game to feel better about themselves. Philly could probably care less)
- Browns -6 ** (CIN should resign this game)
- Vikings -5.5 ** (ball out, Kirk Cousins! This is a no-pressure game and you have a way more talented unit. Also, Zimmer’s last game)
- WFT -7 ** (are you surprised? Fuck the Giants)
- Saints -3.5 * (this line movement is weird so only 1 unit, but I don’t see how the Saints allow a loss against an 0-6 ATS Falcons team at home)
- Bills -16 ** (reverse line movement here, in favor of BUF. Night night, Jets)
- Bucs -8 ** (Brady lets loose to get-right before the postseason)
- Chargers -3 ** (hoping it goes to -2.5 but still love LAC)
NBA Picks Today:
- Raptors -11 *
- Utah got hit with COVID and their starting 5 is out of this contest. Toronto is playing really good basketball, they’re all healthy, and a B unit of the Jazz won’t be able to keep up. All Toronto for me – just one unit out of respect for a very talented Jazz roster.
- Bulls -6.5 *
- I like the Wizards, but the Bulls should be TOO much to handle at home after a subpar game Monday. Just 1 unit since WAS has played well recently.
- Lakers -3 **
- Unfortunately, although LAL annoys the crap out of me, this is an ideal spot for a Lakers team that’s figuring shit out, especially on the offensive end of the floor. All LAL tonight – Trae is hurt, too.
- Cavaliers -5 **
- I considered this as a 3 unit pick and wouldn’t blame you if you put 3 units down. I grabbed this at -4.5 but most books have it at -5 now. I’d take it up to -7.5. The Cavs are a way better team than this depleted Portland unit.
