NBA Playoff betting – Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics
As the only Conference semi-final series that has survived as a contest after four games, all eyes are on tonight's game between Boston and Cleveland as the Cavaliers look to stay in contention this year. Boston's shock 120-88 defeat of the one-time favourites in game has left many wondering what happened to LeBron James and his team.
NCAA Orange Bowl – Iowa Hawkeyes vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
LandShark stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, will host the seventy-sixth annual Orange Bowl tonight as the Iowa Hawkeyes face the Atlantic Coast Conference Champions, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Orange Bowl is the second oldest Bowl game in America, having first been held in 1935.
NFL Week Seventeen betting – New York Giants vs Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota host New York tonight in a game neither side needs to win in terms of the post-season. Minnesota at 11-4 has locked up the NFC North title for the second year in a row but New York are out of the play-offs for the first time since 2004, having gone 8-7 to possess the best record outside the Wild Card spots. However, Minnesota may rest some of their key players and this could lead to an upset, as New York has no reason to do so.
NFL Week Seventeen – Indianapolis Colts vs Buffalo Bills
Indianapolis travel to Buffalo tonight in a game neither side needs to win. The Colts have long secured the AFC South and home-field advantage but last week lost their perfect record to New York to fall to 14-1. They benched many of their starters in that game and may do so again, meaning Buffalo, at 5-10, have a chance of getting a great result today to finish on a high in a season that they will want to forget.
NCAA Postseason football – New Mexico Bowl
Albuquerque is the setting for the New Mexico Bowl today as the Wyoming Cowboys take on the Fresno State Bulldogs. This is the fourth time the event has been held and it pits teams from the Mountain West Conference against teams from the Western Athletic Conference. Today will be Fresno State's second consecutive appearance in the New Mexico Bowl and they will look to do better than last year, when they lost 40-35 to Colorado State.
NFL Thursday Night football – Indianapolis Colts vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Indianapolis travel to Jacksonville tonight hoping to extend their unbeaten run which has seen them win twenty-two regular season games in a row. Peyton Manning's team are looking to become the first team in history to have a perfect season and finish it off with a Super Bowl triumph. Jacksonville are very much in the hunt for a wild card spot but last week's 14-10 loss to the Dolphins saw them fall to 7-6 and they will need a win tonight to stay at the front of the pack.
NFL Monday Night Football – Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints
Atlanta make the short trip to New Orleans to face the Saints tonight for an NFC South clash in week eight of the NFL season. Both sides have started well. Atlanta are second in the division at 4-2 but will look to get back on track after losing 37-21 in Dallas last week. The Saints have been perfect so far at 6-0, last week storming back from 21 points down to beat Miami 46-34.
NFL Week 6 betting – Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets
The Buffalo Bills travel to New York this week as both teams seek to avenge their losses from last week. The Jets are currently 3-2 whilst the Bills are 1-4. The Jets are 9.5 point favourites for the match and 52% of the money has gone on the Jets to cover the spread.
NFL Week 6 betting – New York Giants vs New Orleans Saints
Two of the favourites for the Superbowl play tonight, with the New Orleans Saints hosting the New York Giants. The Giants are currently 5-0 whilst the Saints are also unbeaten on 4-0. The Saints’ home advantage means that they are 3 point favourites for the game, but 79% of the money has gone against them to cover the spread.
