Best Bets: Christmas Day
Merry Christmas from Anthony, JD, and our team. Thank you for being apart of our boost sports family and let’s continue to prosper in the new year!
Best Bets: Tier 1
NFL:
Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers
The 14-1 Chiefs are on the road today against a Steelers team that has overperformed all season. This is a good squad but not a squad that can compete with the back to back Super Bowl champions, who have extra motivation to win this game. If the Chiefs win this match, they will have secured the number one seed in the AFC. The public sentiment is that the Steelers will cover the spread and put up a good fight, and while this may end up being true, the CHIEFS will be the team walking out with a big time matrix win!!!
Pick: Chiefs Moneyline -130
Baltimore Ravens @ Houston Texans
The Texans have been a good team all season but have faced some crucial injuries that have set them back a bit. They find themselves in a must-win situation at home against a very talented Baltimore Ravens squad. The Ravens have played up to their competition this season but have also dropped some “gimmes” to teams they should never have lost to. This line started at -3.5 in favor of the ravens and has now shifted all the way to -6. The Texans will compete the entire game and have a shot to win this one outright.
Pick: Texans +6
Lean: Tier 2
NBA:
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Dallas Mavericks (2:30pm EST)
We have a great one in The NBA today, a rematch of the conference championship from last year in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves have lost some games down the stretch here but this will be a focus spot for them here. Look at Anthony Edwards to go over on the points here today as well. Luka Doncic is banged up and the Mavs aren’t as good against good teams. They beat up on bad teams. The Timberwolves will cover.
Pick: Timberwolves +5.5
Play: Tier 3 (Big game - does not meet our standard for Lean or Best Bet)
NBA:
Los Angeles Lakers @ Golden State Warriors (8:00pm EST)
This is the big game of the night in the NBA and the star players in this matchup, Stephen Curry for the Warriors and LeBron James for the Lakers, are battling it out tonight. The Lakers are banged up and on the road but Lebron and AD will be focused in this one. We expect a close one! We have a feeling this will be LeBron’s best game all season. Give us the Lakers to cover. If the Lakers go down early take them, on the spread.
Pick: Lakers + 5
