Categories :
As the NFL playoffs continue and college basketball delivers high-stakes matchups, January 19, 2025 offers another thrilling slate of games for bettors. Analyzing form, key stats, and matchups is essential for making informed wagers. Here are our best NFL and NCAAB picks to consider for this Sunday.
NFL Best Bets
Game 1: Rams at Eagles
- Spread: Eagles -6.5
- Total Points (Over/Under): 42
- Our Pick: Weather is going to be key in this game. As of right now, snow is expected during the game time, and wind gusts will be up to 15-20 MPH. There are no notable injuries in this game with the exception of Blake Corum for the Rams, who wouldn’t see meaningful snaps unless Williams were to go down. The spread is right about where I don’t want to touch it. Both defenses here have been playing significantly better than they have over the first half of the season. If there is snow in this game, I like the under even more. (Under 42)
Game 2: Ravens at Bills
- Spread: Ravens -1
- Total Points (Over/Under): 51.5
- Our Pick: Common theme here with the weather. Chances of snow in this game and it will be a cold one. Zay Flowers is listed as doubtful for the Ravens, so if he is unable to go, the Ravens will once again be without their number 1 receiver. For this game, regardless of weather, this should be a shootout. Once the first touchdown is scored, it will be all gas and no brakes. Homefield advantage should prove to be advantages here. (Over 51.5 and Bills +1)
NCAA Best Bets
#19 Illinois at #12 Michigan State
- Spread: Michigan State -3.5
- Total Points (Over/Under): 156.5
- Our Pick: A Big 10 premier matchup kicks off our college basketball docket. When it comes to the Big 10, home court advantage is about as big as it gets. Illinois is about as hot as any team can get right now as they have been absolutely dominating their opponents. We will take them and the points here but I do like them to win outright here. (Illinois +3.5)
#18 Memphis at Charlotte
- Spread: Memphis -11.5
- Total Points (Over/Under): 147.5
- Our Pick: This one is simple for me. As it has been for the past 10 games that Memphis has played. Yes they will win, no I don’t believe they will cover the spready. I don’t know what it is with this team, they have the talent, but they do not put teams away when they should. The spready could be half of what it is here and I would still like Charlotte. (Charlotte +11.5)
