It’s a quiet, two-game slate in the NHL Sunday and Colorado is returning from a layoff having last played Feb. 2. The Washington-Pittsburgh clash pits two long-standing rivals against each other, and the Golden Knights are coming off a 3-1 win over San Jose on Saturday. Both games feature small home favorites with a 6.5 over/under total. GOALIE Vitek Vanecek, WAS at PIT ($26): With the Penguins plodding along to a 6-5-1 record this season, Vanecek and the Capitals are ripe for a road upset…. Source link

The four games on Saturday were clearly an appetizer for today. We have 10 games in total, with nine making up the night slate. There are definitely some headline games, with the Los Angeles-Denver and Portland-Dallas matchups looking like great battles. Many people will be using Luka Doncic and Damian Lillard in that matchup, so we’re going to do our best to find some value to build around those two studs. With that in mind, let’s get into it! Guards Ja Morant, MEM at SAC… Source link

All five NHL games Sunday are happening in the afternoon. Hmm…I wonder what might be going on Sunday night? Oh, right, Columbo is airing on MeTV. In all seriousness, we know your Sunday is probably built around a certain football game, but you can still get a DFS lineup in before 12:00 p.m. EST. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, thanks to a mix of salary, performance, and matchup. GOALIE Sergei Bobrovsky, FLA vs. DET ($31): Bobrovsky is struggling again this year with a 3.57 GAA… Source link

Let’s get it out of the way: There’s nothing complicated about the Superb Owl meme that takes over certain corners of the Internet on Super Bowl Sunday. It may have started as a mistake, although its origins aren’t clear. But it’s obvious how it works — move the ‘b’ that starts ‘bowl’ to the end of ‘super.’ What’s that form? Superb Owl. Owls are a fascinating creature. They aren’t one that small children identify with in the way they do with cows that say “moo” and cats that go… Source link

Damian Lillard was the highlight player of my article on Saturday and he produced one of the performances of the season. It would be one thing to provide 44 points, five rebounds and nine assists, but to hit a game-winning three is something we could have never anticipated. More importantly, we got our fades right with Marcus Smart, DeMarcus Cousins, and Eric Gordon all struggling. Knowing who to avoid is just as important as knowing who to pick, and that’s why this Yahoo article can help… Source link

The main slate consists of only three games beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST. A big reason for that is the NFL Conference Championships and it’s going to make these prize pools a lot smaller than usual. That doesn’t really matter for us because we’re going to continue to grind out profits. The six teams in action will be the Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers. There are plenty of question marks with these teams because… Source link

Patrick Mahomes remains in concussion protocol. But the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for Sunday’s AFC championship this week seemingly confident that he’ll play against the Buffalo Bills. Mahomes suffered a serious enough injury that he couldn’t finish last week’s playoff win over the Cleveland Browns. He was visibly shaken after a third-quarter hit and had trouble finding his footing before leaving the field and being ruled out. All eyes are on Patrick Mahomes ahead of the AFC… Source link

A lot of people were saying good riddance to 2020, but I just want to say good riddance to the last week. That was arguably the most dysfunctional week of basketball in NBA history, with a record 15 games postponed. That doesn’t even take into consideration we had a blockbuster trade with James Harden, Caris LeVert and Victor Oladipo throwing the whole week into chaos. For this slate, we have just four games, with the Cleveland-Washington game being postponed. With that in mind, let’s get… Source link
