Today's Best Bets

Here are today's best bets.

NFL Best Bets

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Buffalo Bills

Mason Rudolph took over as the starting quarterback in Week 16. The Steelers haven't lost a game since making the quarterback change despite facing three teams with a winning record. However, the run game is why Pittsburgh is on a three-game win streak and made the playoffs. Najee Harris has averaged 24 rushing attempts per game over the past three weeks, totaling 19 or more in every contest. Furthermore, he has four rushing touchdowns in those games, scoring at least once every week.

More importantly, the former Alabama star has scored the first Steelers' touchdown in 40% of the past 10 games, including this past week against the Baltimore Ravens. Harris led Pittsburgh in rushing touchdowns and offensive scores (eight) during the regular season, accounting for 27.6% of the team's total. Meanwhile, the first offensive touchdown scored against the Bills has been on the ground in five consecutive contests. Expect the Steelers to lean on their one-two punch at running back in this game.

Bet: Najee Harris Steelers First TD Scorer (+310)

Boston Celtics @ Toronto Raptors

The Raptors will build around Scottie Barnes. He's their man, someone they believe will become a bonafide all-star. He averages over 20 points, plus 8.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game this season. Still, his assist prop is sitting at 4.5 for tonight's game against the Celtics.

Barnes has added at least five assists in 72% of games this season. He's even hit this line in seven of his last 10 games and will face a Celtics team that ranks 23rd in assists allowed to small forwards. I'll take his Over.

However, I'll grab the RJ Barrett Under in assists. Barrett is taking on a Celtics team that ranks No. 1 in limiting assists against shooting guards. Barrett has also hit three or more assists in just 39% of games this season.

Lastly, Derrick White has earned at least four rebounds in 64% of games this season for the Celtics. He's had lots of success against the Raptors throughout the last couple of seasons and has nailed at least four rebounds in seven of his last ten games.

White is facing a Toronto defense that ranks 28th in rebounds allowed to shooting guards. We'll finish the parlay with his Over.

Parlay Odds: +444

NHL Best Bets

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

Colorado Avalanche @ Montreal Canadiens

You could argue that the Avalanche have one of the best top units in the league. Nathan MacKinnon is second in the NHL with 69 points. Mikko Rantanen is ninth with 53. Valeri Nichushkin has 22 goals, and Cale Makar is fifth with 39 assists. The problem they run into is if they don't get production from these players, they have trouble getting contributions elsewhere because nobody else has even 25 points.

The Canadiens have some great young talent, and as this team progresses, they will get better. They've played some competitive games recently; their last four have been decided by one goal, which includes a win against the Rangers.

This will be the best offense they've faced in that span, so look for that one-goal streak to end and the Avs to get a puckline win.

Pick: Avalanche -1.5 (-110)
