Today’s Best Bets
Here are today’s best bets.
NFL Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Cincinnati Bengals @ Jacksonville Jaguars
- Leg 1: Jaguars -10 (-110)
- Leg 2: Calvin Ridley Over 58.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
- Leg 3: Evan Engram Over 4.5 Receptions (-115)
At the start of the season, we pinned this as a premiere AFC matchup, but that is no longer the case. The absence of Joe Burrow shows how important he is, as the offense has looked like a shell of itself since his season-ending injury. Trevor Lawrence looks better after dealing with a left knee sprain for a while, and we’re seeing Calvin Ridley surge, as he has 192 receiving yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. The Jaguars are the heavy favorites for a reason, and at home, they’ll roll.
Evan Engram is one of Trevor Lawrence’s go-to targets. The veteran tight end is second on the team in targets, leads them in catches and has recorded over four catches in eight of 11 games this season. This is a great opportunity against a favorable matchup, as the Bengals have allowed 6.3 catches per game to tight ends, the third-most in the league.
With how well the connection between Lawrence and Ridley has been, you have to continue to roll with it. The Bengals are 21st in receiving yards allowed to the wide receiver and are last in yards allowed per completion. Ridley has the size and speed to hit for a big play, and expect that against this Cincy defense.

NBA Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Boston Celtics @ Indiana Pacers
- Leg 1: Buddy Hield Under 14.5 Points (-102)
- Leg 2: Bruce Brown Over 2.5 Assists (-122)
- Leg 3: Jayson Tatum Under 3.5 Threes (-164)
Buddy Hield is third on the Pacers in scoring. However, he’s only added 13.2 points per game on under 45% from the field this season. Hield has scored 15 or more points in just 33% of games this season. He’s also hit this line in only four of his last 10. In addition, Hield is facing a Boston defense that is the best against small forwards this year, ranking first against the position. I’ll gladly take his Under.
Meanwhile, Bruce Brown has hit at least three assists in eight of his last 10 games. He only had two in his previous matchup against the Heat, but he had hit eight of his last nine before that. He’ll be on the court for over 30 minutes tonight and should be able to earn at least three assists.
On the other side of the court, Jayson Tatum is one of the best players in the NBA. However, he’s not always the most efficient three-point shooter. He’s nailed at least four threes in only 37% of games this season. He’s only hit this line in one of his last five and four of his previous 10. Grab his Under for threes.

NHL Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Washington Capitals @ Arizona Coyotes
With the Capitals having so many offensive superstars, including one of the greatest goalscorers in the game’s history, you wouldn’t expect the offense to be this bad. They are 31st in goals scored per game and 29th in expected goal percentage, and it never looks good when a defenseman is one of your points leaders (John Carlson is tied with Alex Ovechkin for a team-lead 14 points).
Meanwhile, it’s been a turnaround for Arizona after they were one of the worst teams in the league last year. Lawson Crouse had a career year in 2022-23, and he’s continued that with 10 goals. Michael Carcone is also finally getting some playing time, coming in tonight with a team-high 11 goals. Another young player who’s stepping up is Connor Ingram, as his 2.40 GAA is eighth in the NFL, and he’s allowed one goal or fewer in three of his last four starts.
The Coyotes have some key wins against Vegas, Tampa Bay, Colorado and St. Louis. As long they can contain an already mediocre Washington offense, they can pull off another win.
Pick: Coyotes Moneyline (-118)
