On the latest episode of Bet the Edge, Sara Perlman and Drew Dinsick discuss a couple NBa games that they are monitoring. The Bucks are 6.5-point favorites against the Heat, but Drew doesn’t think the Bucks warrant the respect the market is giving them.
NBC Sports soccer analyst Joe Prince-Wright joins the show to break down his handicap for Matchweek 16 in the Premier League. He thinks there’s value in taking Over 4.5 goals (+320) between Chelsea and Leeds and expects offensive firepower on both sides of the pitch. He also likes Newcastle (+400) to get an upset victory over Leicester City.
PointsBet Head Trader Jay Croucher is back to give a peak behind the curtain and lay out how bettors are attacking the College Football Playoff and Thursday night football. More than 90% of the tickets are on the Steelers (+3.5) and he thinks bettors are fading the Vikings after their loss to the Lions in Week 13.
Sara and Drew wrap up today’s episode with their Edge of the Day plays. Sara likes Tyler Conklin to go over his receiving yards prop (39.5) and Drew looks to make it 3-0 in the association this week and is backing the Pistons (+5) against the Wizards.
