The NBA always boasts terrific games for sports betting fans to bet on during a weekend. That’s the case this weekend as the Los Angeles Lakers, in a back to back, travel to Orlando Saturday after taking on the Heat on Friday night and the Detroit Pistons travel to Atlanta to take on the Hawks on Sunday.
The Trojans of Troy University (8-4 SU, 7-4 ATS), champions of the Sun Belt Conference, get the automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl where they will be opposed by the Southern Miss Golden Eagles (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS), who put on a furious finish to qualify for their bowl bid in NCAA college football sports betting action that is set to get underway Sunday at 8:15 PM ET at the Louisiana Superdome (artificial turf) in New Orleans, LA.
Despite winning the weak NFC West and securing their first playoff berth in over a decade, the Arizona Cardinals (8-6 SU, 8-6 ATS, 9-5 O/U) clearly aren’t playing winning football at the moment. The Cardinals have dropped three of their last four games and are coming off a dismal 35-14 rout at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The Washington Redskins (7-7 SU, 5-8-1 ATS) have seen their playoff hopes slip away as they’ve been through a horrific slump. On Sunday they will try to regroup as they oppose the Philadelphia Eagles (8-5-1 SU, 9-5 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to kick off at 4:15 PM ET at FedEx Field (natural turf) in Landover, MD.

We are 8-2 on our last 10 in the NBA after another win last night on the Spurs/Magic UNDER. Boy, that one was easy and for Friday we have no less than SIX games picked out for you.
The Minnesota Vikings (9-5 SU, 6-8 ATS) are desperate to hang on to their NFC North division lead. The Atlanta Falcons (9-5 SU, 8-6 ATS) are desperate to garner a playoff spot. On Sunday these two teams will meet to see who can take a step toward that next level. Kickoff is set for 4:15 PM ET at the Metrodome (artificial turf) in Minneapolis.
The New York Jets (9-5 SU, 7-7 ATS, 8-5-1 O/U) snapped their modest two-game losing streak with a big division win in Week 15. The Seattle Seahawks (3-11 SU, 6-7-1 ATS, 6-6-2 O/U) finally found a team they could beat as they snapped their six-game losing streak in the BetUS Sportsbook.
This is the time of year when handicappers really make their money. The NFL regular season is down to its final two weeks; some teams have nothing to play for and become instant fade candidates, while others are fighting for a place in the postseason. The bigger the stakes, the higher the motivation. Let’s pluck the two highest-stakes games from the Week 16 slate and see what angles we can take to the bank. For current lines, visit Bodog Sportsbook.
The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t covered a spread in their last seven outings, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting their game or future odds.
Los Angeles (21-3) has been at least an 11 ½-point favorite for the last seven games, and while they’ve won six of them, they are 0-7 against the spread (ATS).
The Jacksonville Jaguars have fallen to new lows this season but they still want a win badly tonight against the Indianapolis Colts. Sportsbook.com has the Colts as a six-point favorite, with the Total lodged at 44. At last check, 86% of bettors were backing the Colts.
The Las Vegas Bowl will showcase an entertaining sports betting affair for the denizens of The Strip when the Arizona Wildcats (7-5 SU, 7-5 ATS) take on the BYU Cougars (10-2 SU, 3-8 ATS). Although a loss to Utah kept the Cougars from claiming a share of the MWC title, BYU still had one of their most successful seasons in school history despite putting up poor numbers against the NCAA odds.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs (7-3 SU, 2-2-1 ATS, 1-3-1 O/U) have alternated wins and losses in each of their last four games in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Cincinnati Bearcats (7-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 3-1 O/U) have won three of their last four while covering the spread for BetUS NCAA college basketball betting fanatics in two of those contests.
The Portland Trail Blazers (16-10 SU, 12-14 ATS) broke a three-game losing streak in resounding fashion on Tuesday night. They will look to make it two in a row when they play host to the Phoenix Suns (15-10 SU, 10-15 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is slated for a 10:30 PM ET tip-off at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR.
