We are back and have a small slate tonight. The NFL game is clearly the focus tonight. I will also be seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home in the early afternoon too.
As Covid is decimating some NBA and NFL teams, please be aware and follow injury information on Twitter. It can help you get a great number; I will explain more on that later.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

Basketball Odds Boosts You Should Consider BettingMikal Bridges and Beal to make a combines 3+ 3’s +115 (DK)
Remember, combined boosts are never that great as parlays pay significantly more.
Bridges prop is set to 1.5 and the under is heavily juiced.
Beal prop is set to 1.5 and the over is lightly juiced. As usual, you are better parlaying them to both go over. Yes, Beal could make two and bridges only one, but I like the higher payout. I cannot believe I have to write about a Mikal Bridges odds boost. Pass.
Embiid and KD to combine for 60+ points +125 (DK)
Remember, combined boosts are never that great as parlays pay significantly more.
This is a back to back for the Sixers and nothing is listed for Embiid. KD’s prop is set to 33.5 though and normally, Embiid is in the 26-27.5 range. This is probably a fair number if Embiid plays. He did play 37 minutes last night and has been a surprise scratch before. Pass.
BRK/NYK/PHO to all win +275 (Fox)
This should pay +349. Easy pass.

PHO -8
This is a road back to back for the now struggling Wizards.
