We stayed perfect with our Best Bets this College Bowl season with a Consensus winner last night on Sam Houston State. Bobby and Jay are 3-0-1 so far with their Best Bets and we have two more lined up for tonight: The Cure Bowl and the playoff game between Indiana and Notre Dame. You can find all of Jay's free picks and Best Bets over on his 2024 Bowl Selections page.

Bobby improved his NFL Best Bet run to 23-8 (74%) with a nice winner on the Chargers to begin Week 16. We also had the Chargers as one of our Westgate SuperContest selections, which are now on a 26-8-2 (76%) run over the last seven weeks. We have all of our Week 16 free picks, teasers and more posted in today's newsletter.

Check out our daily YouTube videos to get Jay Cooper and Bobby Babowski's Best Bets of the day including recaps of last night's picks.

We had another winning night with our College Basketball Best Bets on Thursday, going 2-1. Jay split his two picks and is now on a 17-8 (67%) run with his Best Bets. We will look to keep the run going with two more free picks on tap for tonight.

It was a very wild night back for the NBA, as eight underdogs won outright of the 13 games plays, including the Bulls (+14.5) over the Celtics. Jay is now on a 6-4-1 (60%) run after a Push on the Magic last night. We have our picks in all 3 games on tonight's schedule, including two Best Bets.
 

Jay improved his NHL Best Bet run to 4-1 (+$374) with a nice +125 winner on the Blackhawks. We have our free picks in all 7 games on today's schedule, including two Best Bets.

Remember, all of our picks are 100% FREE and available every morning on our website. Below, you will find our Best Bets for Friday, December 20th, 2024 from our expert handicappers including some future bets at the bottom. Good luck to everyone today!
