NFL Best Bets

San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl LVIII)
Ever since an embarrassing Christmas Day loss to the Raiders in Kansas City, the Chiefs have been hell-bent on making Isiah Pacheco a focal point of their offense. In the four games he's played since the loss to Las Vegas, Pacheco has averaged 20.3 carries and 96.0 rushing yards. It's easier to run on the 49ers than to throw on them. In San Francisco's two playoff games, they gave up 108 rushing yards to Green Bay's Aaron Jones and 138 rushing yards to the Detroit tandem of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. I think Pacheco will clear this low bar, and I don't hate the idea of betting the over on an alternate rushing total for Pacheco. I've already bet him to go over 84.5 rushing yards at +210 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Bet: Isiah Pacheco OVER 67.5 Rushing Yards (-125)

NBA Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Golden State Warriors @ Brooklyn Nets
- Leg 1: Cam Thomas Over 24.5 Points (-113)
- Leg 2: Stephen Curry Over 4.5 Rebounds (-113)
- Leg 3: Jonathan Kuminga Under 6.5 Rebounds (-125)
Cam Thomas can't be stopped right now. He's added at least 25 points in five straight games after a 40-point performance against Philadelphia, where he shot 5-for-11 from deep. The Warriors are dead last in points allowed to shooting guards. Meanwhile, Thomas has already hit his line in five straight games, as previously mentioned. This is a no-brainer to start off the parlay.
On the other hand, Stephen Curry has earned at least five rebounds in four of his last five games. He's also hit this line in three straight games. With the Nets ranking 21st in rebounds allowed to point guards, Curry has a solid matchup where he should keep his streak alive.
However, Jonathan Kuminga isn't as good on the glass, and maybe he should be. He's averaged 4.6 rebounds per game this season and has only hit seven or more rebounds in 16% of games. Even in his last 20, he's added seven rebounds in just 30% of games.
The Nets are 15th in giving up rebounds to power forwards. That's average against a player who is below-average on the glass. Finish the parlay with Kuminga going Under.
Parlay Odds: +461

NHL Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Colorado Avalanche @ New York Rangers
The Avalanche are riding high as they went into the break with three wins and sit in first in the Central. No one is better at the moment than Nathan MacKinnon, who is the NHL First Star in back-to-back months as he posted 26 points in 12 games. The top lines are fantastic with Mikko Rantanen, Cale Makar and Valeri Nichushkin, but the depth is something they don't have and might need to address before the trade deadline.
The Rangers got a dominant win over Ottawa in the last game, but they've struggled down the stretch after a great start to the season. They've been a letdown on both sides of the ice, with the offense scoring two or fewer goals in seven of their last 10. Additionally, we're seeing regression from Igor Shesterkin. Considered one of the best goaltenders in the world, his save percentage is .899, and he's allowed 13 goals in his last four.
The Avs are coming in as a slight underdog at Madison Square Garden, but they are the better team right now.
Bet: Avalanche Moneyline (-106)
