Top Games to Bet On
San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Redskins (November 25 | 8:40 PM ET)
With the Cardinals jumping in front of them in the NFC West standings, the 49ers take on Washington tonight in a game with a pressure-packed atmosphere enveloping it.
The 49ers offense relies heavily on their running game and not much on their passing, as they are fifth in the league in rushing yards (141.0 per game) while dead last in passing yards (169.0 per game). Team rushing leader Frank Gore is probable for the game. He has 748 rushing yards with seven touchdowns. [sc:NFL240banner ]
San Francisco is 3-0-1 ATS in its last four road games.
Odds: San Francisco (-5.5) vs. Washington (+5.5), O/U: 47.0
The Redskins, like San Francisco, are on a two-game skid and are holed up deep in the bottom of the miserable NFC East. They could get a spark when they host the visiting San Francisco squad that takes the same ground-based approach as them.
Washington is the NFL’s best in rushing, putting up 155.2 yards per game. Robert Griffin III is having a good year despite all the troubles of his team. He has 2714 passing yards and 14 touchdowns to anchor the 11th best passing team in the league.
Washington has won its last two games at home and covered the spread in both games.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Indiana Pacers (November 25 |7:00 PM ET)
Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio will spearhead the attack of the Timberwolves in their quest to give the Pacers their first home loss of the season. Love leads Minnesota in points and in rebounding with 24.9 PPG and 13.6 RPG. Meanwhile, Rubio tops the team in assists and steals, churning out 8.7 APG and 3.0 SPG – best in the NBA, too. Minnesota is coming off a 112-101 loss to the Rockets, in which Love posted a double-double effort of 27 points and 15 rebounds.
The Timberwolves have covered the spread in six of their last nine road games.
[sc:NBA490banner ]Odds: Minnesota (+7) vs. Indiana (-7), O/U: 194.0
It’s not easy to win in Indiana. Just ask the other seven teams that have traveled there and left with a loss. The Pacers’ success this season can be hugely attributed to their defense. Center Roy Hibbert is the team’s most prominent defensive player, swatting away 4.3 shots a game – best in the NBA. After suffering their first loss against Chicago, the Pacers are back to winning again, compiling three straight victories. Indiana is coming off a 106-98 win over the Sixers.
Indiana is 9-0 SU in its last nine home games overall.
