Good morning, Pickswise Nation and welcome to a fantastic Friday of sports. We have NBA, NHL, college football, college basketball and World Cup soccer to enjoy today, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!

About Last Night

TNF Best Bet cashes
Pickswise began NFL Week 13 the right way with a winning 3-star play of Bills -4.5 on Thursday Night Football, as they beat the Patriots 24-10. The Bills moved to 9-3 and DraftKings Sportsbook now has them as +450 joint-favorites for the Super Bowl with the Chiefs.

Mavs and Pistons put on a show
There was only 1 NBA game on Thursday, but the Mavericks and Pistons decided to give fans some extra entertainment as their game went to overtime before the Pistons pulled off the upset 131-125.

Awesome day for our NHL parlays
We cashed both of our NHL parlays yesterday, with the regular parlay coming in at +436 odds and the NHL mega parlay cashing at +870 odds — our second straight mega parlay win!

Huge drama in World Cup
It was another crazy day in the World Cup as Germany and Belgium went out of the competition and Spain just survived, with Morocco and Japan becoming shock group winners. Pickswise followers enjoyed Hakim Ziyech’s opening goal for Morocco against Canada as he was our +850 first-scorer pick.

Great day of college hoops
Our NCAAB picks went 5-2 on Thursday, with both of our 3-star plays (UConn -9.5, Kansas -7.5) cashing, along with a +596 parlay win!

Best Bet of the Day

NBA: New Orleans Pelicans -7 over San Antonio Spurs
8:00pm ET

After a somewhat tougher schedule in their last 5 games, the Pelicans get to face their favorite opponent, the San Antonio Spurs. They beat them by 19 points on the road little over a week ago, with Zion Williamson dominating, scoring 32 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. The Spurs also didn’t have an answer for big man Jonas Valanciunas as he shot 9-for-11 from the field and finished with 22 points and 10 boards. The Pels have been fairly consistent in covering the spread, doing so 6 times in their last 9 games and 5 times in their last 6 against Southwest Division teams.
