Baltimore Ravens @ San Francisco 49ers

This is the game of the weekend, as we could see a Super Bowl preview. Both teams have long winning streaks, and they’ve been able to beat their opponents easily. The Ravens struggled against the rush recently, allowing over 120 rushing yards in four of their last seven. We saw what Christian McCaffrey did last week, and he will have the ball in his hands a lot again tonight. So will Lamar Jackson, who is playing near his MVP-caliber level; he’s 22 passing yards away from matching his career-high, his 66.3 competition percentage is his career-best and the 7.7 yards per attempt is his best since the 2019 MVP season. Both these teams have ways to beat you, but there’s a reason the 49ers are a six-point favorite. They put that losing streak in the rear-view mirror. The team is healthy at the right time, and they’ve been able to win on both sides of the ball. They will prove why they should be the Super Bowl favorite.

Deebo Samuel had a down 2022 that was riddled with injuries. Especially recently, he looks healthy and has been scorching hot; he’s scored in three straight, accumulating seven touchdowns in that time. The speed is there again, averaging 16.1 yards per reception, and he can certainly break one off.

With Mark Andrews going down, Isaiah likely has come in and been a dependable option with 193 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his last three games. That should continue tonight against the 49ers, who have been average against the tight end by allowing the ninth-most catches and 8.8 yards per reception. He’s gone over this number easily since becoming the TE1 in Baltimore.

Total Parlay: +548

NBA Best Bets

Boston Celtics @ Los Angeles Lakers

The Boston Celtics have won the tip in 67% of games and have scored the first field goal in 67% of games. Beyond that, they’ve also attempted the game’s first field goal in 67% of games. Boston is among the most efficient teams to begin games in the NBA.

They’ll take on the Lakers, who have won the tip in only 52% of games. Los Angeles has also taken the first field goal in 52% of games and added the first field goal in 52% of matchups.

I’d rather target the team averaging the first field goal at a 67% clip over the 52% clip.

Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown are tied with eight first field goals this season. Jayson Tatum is third with only four first baskets. However, Tatum has only attempted the game’s first field goal in 12% of games and has the team’s first field goal in 15% of games. It takes him some time to get going.

Holiday currently leads Boston in first field goal attempts and first baskets. He’s sitting at +950 as the fourth Celtics player on the odds list. That’s great value.

Bet: Jrue Holiday (+950)
