About Last Night
Perfect start to college football Week 12
The Pickswise college football cappers went 3-0 on the sides on Tuesday’s slate, picking Toledo and Miami (Ohio) as favorites and underdogs Eastern Michigan all covered (and Eastern Michigan won straight up!). Those selections also cashed our Tuesday college football mega parlay at +903 odds!
Cappers sweep NBA spreads, going 3-0
Did I just say Pickswise went 3-0 on NCAAF games? We went 3-0 on the sides in the NBA too! Our picks of the Warriors, Jazz and Clippers all covered by wide margins, landing our Tuesday NBA parlay at +597 odds in the process.
NHL team has a winning night too!
The NHL picks didn’t go 100% on the 11-game slate but 7-4 was a great result too, especially with 2 of our 3 3-star picks winning.
Today’s Slate
Lakers vs Bucks on an 11-game NBA slate

Close spreads on Wednesday’s college football
The sportsbooks are finding it hard to pick a winner in Northern Illinois vs Buffalo (7pm ET, ESPN2) and Central Michigan vs Ball State (7pm ET, ESPNU), which both have very small spreads, but our experts think they have! Read our previews of today’s college football games. You can also read our picks for all today’s college basketball, which includes Central Arkansas vs Baylor.

Best Bet of the Day
Portland Trail Blazers -1 vs Chicago Bulls
10pm ET
The Trail Blazers are a different team when they play at home and on the road. The Trail Blazers are 6-9 against the spread overall and 5-2 ATS at home. The Bulls are a good team, and coming off huge wins against the Clippers and the Lakers. But that means they are getting national media attention and it is a great time to fade them, especially against a team such as the Blazers, who play so well at home. It would be asking a lot for the Bulls to win 3 straight games on the road in challenging environments. Read our full game preview for Bulls vs Blazers.
