Sports Betting Picks & Predictions Against the Spread
NBA Top Bets
76ers vs. Pelicans Prediction: Don’t Lay the Points with a Shorthanded Favorite
The 76ers are laying 4 points in New Orleans without Embiid and George, creating a 3-point edge for the Pelicans. The pace blend and offensive depth favor the home dog in a spot where Philly’s depleted roster struggles to cover.
Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls Prediction: Elite Road Team Faces Double-Digit Spread in Chicago
The Pistons are 11-point favorites at the United Center, but the efficiency math projects a much tighter game. Detroit’s elite road record meets a Bulls team that can score, and the 6.7-point edge against the spread creates clear value on Chicago plus the points.
Grizzlies vs. Heat Prediction: Injury Reports vs. Betting Value
Miami’s laying 10.5 at home against Memphis, but the efficiency math doesn’t support double digits. The Grizzlies are banged up, but with a 6.1-point edge against the projection and minimal off/def mismatches, this line overreacts to injuries and narrative. Bash breaks down why Memphis +10.5 is the play.

Today's CBB Best Bets
Cincinnati vs. Kansas Prediction: Defensive Grit Meets Phog Power
Kansas is laying 10 points at Allen Fieldhouse against Cincinnati, but the Bearcats’ #13 adjusted defense and the market’s respect for their grind game make this number intriguing. Breaking down the efficiency gaps and why Cincinnati +10.5 has value in a rock fight.
Texas vs. Georgia Prediction: Longhorns Ready to Silence the Stegeman Crowd
Georgia enters this game ranked in the top 25, but they’ve been reeling lately while Texas is playing its best basketball of the season. The Bulldogs give up way too many easy looks near the rim, which is why the Longhorns have landed as Bryan Bash’s best bet to keep this within a bucket.
Kentucky vs. Auburn Prediction: Tigers’ Season on the Line at Neville
Kentucky has lost back-to-back games and is just 3-4 on the road this year. While the Tigers have been in a tailspin, playing at Neville Arena is a different beast entirely, which is why they’ve landed as Bryan Bash’s best bet to finally stop the bleeding and cover the short number.
UConn vs. Villanova Prediction: Will the Huskies Finally Cover a Spread?
Laying points with UConn on the road has been a losing recipe all year, especially with Villanova’s Duke Brennan averaging a double-double lately. The Wildcats are playing with house money right now, which is why they’ve landed as Bryan Bash’s best bet to keep it tight.
NASCAR PREDICTIONS
EchoPark Speedway: AutoTrader 400 Betting Preview
The situational spot here heavily favors the Chevy camp, which has historically dominated the drafting era at EchoPark. We’re locking in this ATS pick before qualifying potentially shifts the moneyline favorites and shrinks the available value.
This Week's Golf Bets
2026 Genesis Invitational Predictions & Player Props to Watch
After digging into the transition data from the early season swing, the play here hinges on Strokes Gained: Approach. Rory’s recent iron performance at Pebble Beach suggests his game is perfectly calibrated for Riviera’s small Poa annua greens, making him an easy best bet for a deep run this weekend.

Why Bet Predictem’s Picks?
When you shower before work, we’re reading yesterday’s box scores. When you’re commuting to your job, we’re mulling through statistics. When you’re working, we’re analyzing every single game on the day’s card, looking for edges. When you’re eating your lunch, we’re reading injury reports, when you work the second half of your workday, we’re analyzing line moves, reading player news, researching how the money is coming in on each game, mulling through local news in each city and discussing our takes with other astute handicappers. We grind through stats, betting trends, injury news and are constantly assessing weather reports. In summary, we’re in tune with the constant evolution that is the sports betting industry, on a full-time basis. We’re constantly searching for knowledge to give us the edge needed to beat 52.38%, which is the break-even point when betting point spreads at -110 odds.(You can knock that down to 51.19% if you take advantage of the -105 reduced juice offering at BetAnySports). You simply don’t have the time to study enough to have a real chance of winning at sports betting, which is why 97% don’t win long term. We quit our day jobs in 2001.
