Top Games to Bet On
NFL — Cincinnati Bengals vs Miami Dolphins (8:30 PM ET)
Two teams going in polar opposite directions meet on Thursday night as the surging Cincinnati Bengals face the sinking Miami Dolphins. [sc:NFL240banner ]
The Bengals are coming off their 49-9 demolition of the New York Jets when Andy Dalton threw a career-high 5 TD passes. A win over the Jets would cap off a perfect month of October for the Bengals, who are currently on a four-game winning streak. Cincinnati is 6-1 SU in their last 7 games.
Odds: Bengals (-3) vs Dolphins (+3); O/U: 43.0
They face the Dolphins, who have dropped four in a row after starting a perfect 3-0. Central to the Dolphins’ slide has been Ryan Tannehill’s struggles. The sophomore QB has thrown 7 INTs in the four-game skid. The Dolphins however, have a decent record over the Bengals, who have lost both their games this year on the road. Miami is 10-2 SU in its last 12 games vs Cincinnati.
NBA — Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Clippers (10:30 PM ET)
After disposing of the Lakers at Staples Center in their opener, the Warriors remain in LA to face the other team in town, the Clippers.
Steph Curry had a quiet first game with only 10 points, but Klay Thompson was scorching hot, finishing with 38 points on 15-19 from the field with 5 threes. The Warriors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.
Odds: Warriors (+6.5) vs Clippers (-6.5); O/U: 204.5
The Clippers, meanwhile, are eager to get their first win of the new season after they lost their opener to the Lakers. LA shot close to 50% from the field, but allowed a whopping 76 points to the Laker reserves. The Clippers are 8-2 SU in their last 10 home games.
