NFL Week 10 begins tonight with the Ravens and Dolphins on Thursday Night Football and we also have NBA, NHL, college football and college basketball games. Let’s get straight to making your next bet better!

About Last Night

Great night in the NHL for Pickswise Nation
There were only 3 NHL games on Wednesday but our handicappers found 2 3-star picks and both the Predators (at plus-money) and Wild ML won. Not only that, but our NHL mega parlay cashed at +1297 odds and our top player prop of Mats Zuccarello over 0.5 points was also a winner!

Lakers’ revival continues
The Los Angeles Lakers’ improvement continued with a second successive overtime win as they beat Miami Heat 120-117 to move to 7-5. The Warriors continued to roll, with a 123-110 win over the Timberwolves taking them to 10-1 for the season, while at the other end of the standings, the Pistons beat the Rockets in a battle of 1-win teams.

College totals picks go 9-3
College football and basketball was in action too, with our cappers going 3-0 on football totals and 6-3 on basketball totals.

Today’s Slate

Ravens aiming to stay clear of AFC North pack on TNF
The Ravens visit the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football (NFL Network, 8:20pm ET). At 6-2, Baltimore is going along nicely, but has little scope to relax with every team in the AFC North having a winning record. Read our preview of Ravens vs Dolphins here.

NBA TV double bill
There are just 3 NBA games today but that includes an NBA TV doubleheader with the Raptors vs 76ers at 7pm ET, and Heat vs Clippers at 10:30pm ET. Read all of today’s NBA game previews here.

Busy night in the NHL
We have a feast of NHL action today, with 11 games on the schedule, including the 10-2-1 Florida Panthers taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins (7pm ET) and a nice late game between the 9-3-0 Minnesota Wild and the 7-6-0 Vegas Golden Knights. Read our predictions for today’s NHL matchups here.

The Week 11 NCAAF action continues with 7-2 Pittsburgh hosting 5-4 North Carolina (ESPN, 7:30pm ET), while the opening week of NCAA basketball continues. Check out our picks for all this week’s college football and today’s college basketball picks.

Best Bet of the Day

Under 5.5 goals in New York Islanders vs New Jersey Devils
7pm ET, ESPN+

The Islanders are in the top 5 in goals against per game at 2.4, which includes 2 shutouts in their last 5 games. This is a division game, so they will be ready to play and the Devils offense isn’t all that impressive. The under looks a great bet in this matchup.
