Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/3/21)

Welcome to the first NBA Best Bets of the new year! I won't lie, things have been incredibly dicey betting on the NBA over the last few weeks, but we've still managed to hit some bets and if anything, I've actually been playing more DFS and betting player props more often because of the unpredictability […]


Seven under Seven: DraftKings NFL DFS Pivot Plays for Week 17

The penultimate week of the NFL season is upon us and with no Thursday or Saturday games (or byes), we finally have a full 14-game slate with only four teams not playing on Sunday afternoon. I hope you played a few guys featured in this piece last week as Joe Burrow was the highest-scoring QB […]


Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/31/21)

It's the last NBA slate of the year! Happy New Years' Eve, my fellow NBA brethren and welcome back to my NBA best bets article. New Year's eve is always a fun slate of NBA games, but obviously, we are still seeing team rosters ravaged by COVID health and safety protocols. That won't stop me […]


Free NFL Betting Picks - Week 17 Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/2/21)

What's up football fans and bettors? I'm filling in again this week for my buddy Steve Janik and going to put my NFL betting hat on (I usually wear an NBA betting hat, and a few other hats as well). This is a big ole' slate of games and I think there are a lot […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/28/21)

What's up, NBA bettors? I apologize for missing my usual Monday article but my head was spinning yesterday as I tried to decipher that set of games and figure out who was going to actually play from each team. Christmas Day's picks didn't do so hot and I admittedly forced the issue a bit, giving […]

Merry Christmas, RotoBallers! I hope you have some time to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends and perhaps a chance to watch some NBA basketball in between meals and gatherings. The NBA has a long tradition of playing on Christmas Day and they line up five games in a row so we have […]

Seven under Seven: DraftKings NFL DFS Pivot Plays for Week 16

Let's hope Week 16 is a little less chaotic than Week 15 as a bunch of games were rescheduled and we had some wildly unpredictable results. But this column is where I try to predict the unpredictable and find some spots that the rest of the industry might be overlooking. Last week we did have […]

Julius Randle - NBA DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball Betting, Prop Picks

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/23/21)

Yesterday we saw the quality of NBA basketball take a pretty big dip as teams have had to sign players who have been out of the league for several years and actually play these guys in games. Scoring was down yesterday and there was some sloppy play, but we still managed to hit the under […]


Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/22/21)

We had some close calls on Monday and unfortunately just missed on a few bets by only mere points as the Thunder scored 102 points in a surprising win (we had them under 101.5) and the Warriors came up just a few baskets short of covering their team total at 217.5. The Spurs covered with […]


Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/20/21)

Things are getting wonky in both the NFL and NBA thanks to COVID cases being on the rise and new variants infecting the nation. It's been incredibly tough to cover these leagues and keep track of who is or isn't playing on a daily basis, but we're doing our best! While there are two NFL […]

Jrue Holiday NBA dfs lineup picks daily fantasy basketball advice

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/15/21)

Monday night didn't go as planned as the Warriors won by only two points, the Suns dropped their game to a pesky Clippers team without Paul George, and the Nuggets still managed to go over their total even in a blowout victory. An 0-3 night hurts the season record a bit, but if we take […]


Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/13/21)

While football was king yesterday, the NBA takes center stage tonight with only one football game (albeit a pretty important one between the Rams and Cardinals) to compete for our attention. Friday's picks went 3-1 and my overall record for the season is trending back in the right direction. If you see me picking similar […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/10/21)

Wednesday night's results were mixed but with more good than bad. Charlotte did their part by covering and the total just barely hit the over in that game, too. The Raptors totally disappeared in the second half and lost by one, failing to cover and I'm not likely to trust them again after that mess. […]
