About Last Night

Jaguars roar in into the playoffs
Tennessee’s fall from grace was completed last night as the Titans lost a 7th straight game, this time by 20-16 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who clinched the AFC South title with their success. The earlier game saw Kansas City lock up the #1 seed in the AFC with a comfortable 31-13 win over the Raiders. The Chiefs are now +340 favorites for the Super Bowl at FanDuel Sportsbook, with the Bills at +440 and the Eagles +550.

Strong night in the NBA
The Pickswise team went 4-1 ATS in the NBA on Saturday, missing out on a sweep when the Spurs were able to cover a double-digit spread in their 121-116 loss to the Celtics. The Lakers held on to beat the Kings 136-134 in a close one.

A plus-money win on Leon Draisaitl over 1.5 points extended our run on NHL player props to 5-1 as the Oilers lost 3-2 to the Avalanche in overtime. The Devils had earlier beaten the Rangers in another OT game, while the Blue Jackets upset the Hurricanes in a shootout.
