YESTERDAY'S RECAP

The conference championships are set. We had our second overtime game of the weekend to cap things off with the Rams getting by the Bears. Chicago ended up covering the spread, giving Reggie Garrett a Best Bet winner and 3-1 weekend. Reggie leads the staff this postseason at 6-4 overall and 2-1 with his Best Bets. We will have our AFC & NFC Championship picks posted later this week.

Jay came through with a Best Bet winner in the NBA on Sunday and is now on a 22-11 (67%) run entering the new week. Bobby is on a 29-17 (63%) run and has a play in this afternoon's Bucks vs. Hawks game. We have our free picks in all 9 games on today's schedule, including two Best Bets.
