Today's Best Bets

NFL Best Bets

Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

It's been a year to forget for WR Christian Watson, as injuries plagued him, and he never got into a rhythm. He came into the season as the WR1 for the Packers, but Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed may have muddied up the depth chart going forward due to his unavailability.

Despite having no injury designation for Saturday's game, I still do not think Watson is 100% from his hamstring injury. Last week, he played only about 40% of the team's offensive snaps vs. Dallas. For Matt LaFleur to drastically change playing time for the most important game of the season would be odd.

Furthermore, since Doubs, Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, etc., have picked up the slack all season and are playing well, these players give the Packers the best chance to win. They have the chemistry with Jordan Love from the past 18 games. Aaron Jones and them should be the main playmakers against the 49ers.

Bet: Christian Watson Under 29.5 Receiving Yards (-120)

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Minnesota Timberwolves

In the 8 p.m. ET window, the Thunder heads to the Twin Cities looking to strike down the Timberwolves. OKC has dropped two of the past three games while also going 1-2 ATS. These teams met in Oklahoma City on Dec. 26, and the Thunder rolled past the Wolves 129-106 as a 2-point favorite as the Over (230.5) cashed.

These teams also met on Nov. 28 in Minneapolis, and the T-Wolves posted a 106-103 win as a 2.5-point favorite with the Under (228.5) connecting. Minnesota has won eight of the past 10 meetings in this series while going 7-3 ATS. The Under is 6-2 in the past eight of the series, too.

Minnesota streaks in with four straight victories and a 5-1 ATS mark in the past six games overall. Look for the Timberwolves to get the job done in this surprisingly good matchup.

Bet: Timberwolves -3 (-110)

Western Kentucky @ UTEP

The Hilltoppers hit the road for Don Haskins Arena in El Paso, Texas. This is another one of those curious lines, as the 13-win Toppers have posted a 9-6 ATS mark this season, while the Miners are just two games over .500, going 3-11-1 ATS this season. In addition, Western Kentucky has won seven straight meetings in this series, covering each of the past six.

Western Kentucky lost 72-70 at New Mexico State last time out on Thursday, but it did hang on for the cover as a 2.5-point underdog at most shops. The Hilltoppers are 3-1 ATS in the past four games and 7-3 ATS in the previous 10 contests.

The Miners dropped Middle Tennessee 73-59 as a six-point favorite on Thursday, but it is still 1-4 ATS in the past five games and 2-11-1 ATS in the past 14 outings overall. The trends all point to the Hilltoppers, both this season and inside the series. This is another moneyline play at even money.

Bet: Western Kentucky ML (+100)
