The Villanova Wildcats (10-1 SU, 4-4 ATS, 1-7 O/U) have won two consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook and are back on the court tonight after final exams when it hosts the Navy Midshipmen (8-3 SU) tonight. The Wildcats are coming off a solid 70-59 win over Big Five Philadelphia city rival LaSalle back on Dec. 14, covering the spread for BetUS NCAA college basketball sports betting backers as a 9-point road favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Houston Rockets (18-9, 14-13 ATS, 16-11 O/U) have won three consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook, covering the spread in two of those contests. The New Jersey Nets (13-13, 14-12 ATS, 13-13 O/U) have been one of the most surprising teams in the league in the early going this season but have dropped two of their last three overall.
While the Portland Trailblazers (17-10 SU, 12-14 ATS, 11-15 O/U) have won two consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook, the Denver Nuggets (17-10 SU, 15-11-1 ATS, 14-13 O/U) have struggled in dropping each of their last three games. Tonight, the Nuggets will look to snap their modest skid while halting the Blazers’ winning ways when they host their younger counterparts tonight at the Pepsi Center tonight.
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
If the Dolphins win this game, they will complete the turnaround from their 1-15 season of a year ago to capture the AFC East crown. The Jets are on life support after losing in Seattle, and will need a win and either a loss by the Patriots or Ravens to make the playoffs.
The Jets have dominated the sports betting proceedings against the Dolphins of late, including this season’s Week 1 20-14 win as three-point road chalks.
Sports betting fans had grown chilly on both teams. The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans were each coming off of losses last Sunday. There had been rumblings from NFL betting fans about whether or not either team had peaked and were now slowly getting worse right before the playoffs and not better.
Last year’s Winter Classic at Ralph Wilson Stadium—home of the Buffalo Bills—was the NHL’s first ever outdoor game played in the U.S. and was a hit for newbie and online NHL betting gurus. The nationally televised New Year’s Day event, competed and very much held its own in ratings on a sportsbook betting day made for bowling. Roughly 3.7 million viewers watched the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Sabres in a 2-1 SO.
With one week left in the NFL Regular Season a lot of things are still up in the air in terms of which teams will make it into the NFL Playoffs. It has been tough for sports betting fans to forecast which teams will make it to the playoffs and which teams will be left out at home to watch the games with pizza, chicken wings, and cheap beer!
Sports betting fans probably weren’t planning on watching this game as the Green Bay Packers have been eliminated from the playoffs and the Chicago Bears, as long ago as Sunday morning, were on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs.
Now, because of Minnesota’s home loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, the Bears are right back in the middle of the NFC North Divisional title chase. Online football betting fans won’t be surprised to see that the Bears are favored at home even though they were pummeled the last time these two teams met 37 to 3. The Bears have begun to play well.
The Green Bay Packers are officially eliminated from the NFL playoffs but the public backing is still firmly behind them.
Aaron Rodgers and company are traveling to their hated rivals, the Chicago Bears (8-6) on Monday Night Football and you can see this NFC North rivalry at 8:30 pm ET on ESPN.
Chicago opened as a 4 ½-point favorite but it is down to four points as 65% of the betting public is backing the Packers.

We had our writers break down four of the biggest Sunday afternoon matchups and here’s what they came up with.

The Dallas Cowboys are very much alive in the NFC playoff picture, but they have a big challenge on their hands on Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens.

Here’s a look at four must-see matchups
Duke vs. Xavier – 2 pm ET

Fresno opened the preseason as the favorite to win the WAC but the 105th-ranked run defense took care of any hopes the Bulldogs had in a hurry.
The bowl season opens with a rematch between Navy and Wake Forest on Saturday morning.
These two teams met back in September when Navy pulled out a 24-17 upset as 17-point underdogs.
The spread is much closer this time around as the Demon Deacons are listed as three-point favorites.
