The Boston Celtics are off to their best start in the history of their storied franchise going 27-2 to start the season. That includes a current streak of 19 straight wins. Last year on their way to their 17th NBA Championship all the talk was about the ‘Big Three’ of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen.

Bettors are flocking to the Chicago Bears after Minnesota’s loss to Atlanta yesterday kept the door open for in the NFC North race.
Thanks to Minnesota’s loss, the Bears are still in the playoff hunt and a win tonight will set up an interesting Week 17 matchup against Houston. With the Bears still alive, bettors have shifted allegiance after supporting tonight’s opponent, the Green Bay Packers all last week.
Week 17 offers our Sportsbook.com writers one last chance to provide our members with winning picks, and a shot at redemption after each stumbled last week.
Each writer went 1-3 against the spread (ATS) last week, a rare miss as both have had profitable seasons. Cras is 34-27-3 going into this weekend’s action while Mike is 33-28-3.
A – Atlanta. I have to be a man and admit that I was wrong about the Falcons. I didn’t believe that Michael Turner was going to get the job done, that Matt Ryan was going to adjust easily to the pro game, or that the team stood a chance of making .500, never mind the playoffs. That’s an 0-fer for me. With a nice road win over the flailing Bucs on Sunday the Falcons clinched their spot, and they can now get ready to play a road game to start the playoffs.
With one week left in the NFL Regular Season a lot of things are still up in the air in terms of which teams will make it into the NFL Playoffs. It has been tough for sports betting fans to forecast which teams will make it to the playoffs and which teams will be left out at home to watch the games with pizza, chicken wings, and cheap beer!
Sometimes they agree, sometimes they disagree; this week it’s a bit of both.
We had our writers break down four of the biggest Sunday afternoon matchups and here’s what they came up with.
If you like to ride the hot picks, Cras is 7-1 against the spread (ATS) with his Double Take selections over the past two weeks. For the season, he’s 33-24-3 while Mike is 32-25-3.
Do you remember that point in Elisha Cuthbert’s career when she decided to make the movie, “Girl Next Door” after making such awful cameo appearances in “24” and “Love Actually”? Was anyone a little worried that a young, absurdly hot, woman from Canada was making a poor choice by playing a porn actress in a movie that would forever be remember for her sex scenes? Weren’t you thinking, I think this is a little too much, too soon?

A – Arena Football League. The AFL is taking a year off to get their business in order. The question is whether anyone will care, or even notice. The most telling indication of the state of the league was that the New Orleans VooDoo had decided to fold even though they had been near the top of the league in attendance the last two years and were owned by Tom Benson, owner of the Saints, so money wasn’t a problem.

The Betting Numbers
South Florida opened as a 13-point favorite in most places with a few 14’s scattered about. The number has been bet down to 12.5 almost everywhere and that trend should continue right up to gametime. The total opened at 51 and was quickly bet up to 52 and it is sitting tight at that number with some 52.5 totals out there also.
Week 15 of the NFL sports betting season offers up a fantastic AFC/NFC football betting battle when the AFC West leading Denver Broncos (8-5, 4-8-1 ATS) invades Charlotte, NC to square off against the NFC South leading Carolina Panthers (10-3, 7-5-1 ATS); kick-off is slated for 4:15 ET
