NFL Super Bowl Odds
Not much has changed in terms of SB Odds since the start of the season. Despite Kansas City and Los Angeles going through rough patches, the favorites have been pretty much dominant as we head into Week 16
Packers: +475 (bet $100, win $475)
Chiefs: +475
Bucs: +550
Rams: +900
Those are obviously your safest futures, but there’s a few teams trending in the right direction and seeing their odds fall. If you’re looking for slightly riskier bet now, these are some of the teams I’d ride with 👇
Bills: +1100
Patriots: +1100
Cowboys: +1200
Cardinals: +1600
All eight of these teams have looked absolutely dominant, but also beatable. This season is completely up for grabs, and we have three more weeks of football to see how seeding shapes out 👀

NBA Championship Odds
It’s a tough time to place a future in the NBA, as stars and role players continue to miss games due to Covid protocols. Tomorrow’s slate of games is nowhere near as exciting as it should be, considering the number of players not playing
Nets: +260 (bet $100, win $260)
Warriors: +600
Bucks: +700
Suns: +900
Lakers: +1000
Jazz: +1100
Four of the six teams above are from the West, showing just how deep that conference is. For context, the Jazz (22-9) would be a half game up on the Nets (21-9) for the best record in the East
The Warriors and Suns have been by far the two best teams this season, as they have a combined record of 52-11. But in order to win it all, one team has to knock out the other, which is likely why their odds are higher than expected
The returns of Klay Thompson and James Wiseman are factored into these odds, but I like the Warriors at +600 just due to the shear level of talent that their rotation will feature
Notice any teams missing? The Bulls are currently second in the East with a 19-10 record and +3000 title odds — that puts them higher than lesser, but more experienced teams like the Heat, Clippers, Nuggets and Sixers
Whoever you take here, make sure you’re confident that they can go on the road and win playoff games

CFP Championship Odds
We’re exactly seven days away from the four best college football teams facing off. The two SEC teams have great odds, as Vegas expects a Georgia vs. Alabama rematch
Alabama: +120 (bet $100, win $120)
Georgia: +135
Michigan: +750
Cincinnati: +1400
There’s not so much to it at this point — Georgia is a 7.5 point favorite vs. Michigan, while Alabama is -13.5 vs. Cincinnati. Maybe Michigan runs it down Georgia’s throats like they did vs. Ohio State? Maybe Desmond Ridder, a one time Heisman favorite, brings it to Alabama? Who knows, we’ll find out next week 🍿

NCAAM Championship Odds
I’m going to keep this one brief since there’s so much college basketball left — plus, NCAAM futures are tough because of March Madness. You’re probably good to bet on any of these teams, but then again you never know
Gonzaga: +500 (bet $100, win $500)
Duke: +800
Purdue: +800
Kansas: +1100
Baylor: +1200
UCLA: +1600
Obviously teams with insane talent, like Memphis/Kentucky/Alabama/Nova, can beat these favorites — but can they do it when it’s win or go home. That’s the question, and the answer will come soon enough 🙏
No parlay today since we didn’t dive into any specific games. Enjoy your Christmas and the crazy sports schedule this weekend 🔥
