About Last Night
Huge win for Wolverines
The college football playoff picture was shaken up on Saturday thanks in large part to Michigan’s 45-23 road win at Ohio State as a 7.5-point underdog. With #5 LSU losing 38-23 to Texas A&M, USC may have forced its way into the top 4 with a 38-27 win over Notre Dame. Oregon State’s big rivalry win over Oregon was no surprise to Caleb Wilfinger, who went 3-0 with his CFB Best Bets article. FanDuel Sportsbook now has Georgia at -175 odds for the National Championship, with Michigan at +300.
Suns silence the Jazz
There were only 4 games in the NBA on Saturday but no shortage of drama, as the Suns beat the Jazz by a single point, the Lakers and Spurs didn’t play much defense in a 143-138 LA win and the Rockets got just their 5th win of the season over the Thunder.
Nice day on the ice
The Pickswise NHL team went 5-2-1 on the Saturday slate, cashing our best bet of the Avalanche ML as they beat the Stars 4-1. The upset of the day came in the last game as the Canucks beat the Golden Knights 5-1.
