Best bets for Friday, Dec. 26
Two Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls square off in one of Friday’s top games when the Bulls host the 76ers. Philadelphia enters Friday at 16-12 and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are ninth in the East, but they’ve been one of the hottest teams in the league of late as they’ve used a four-game winning streak to get to 14-15. That’s the second-longest active win streak in the NBA behind only the Spurs. A big part of Chicago’s recent success is the return of Coby White, who is averaging 21.4 points per game this year and scored at least 21 points in three of the Bulls’ last four games. The 76ers have gotten great contributions from Tyrese Maxey this year, as he’s averaging 31.0 points per game, the third-best mark in the NBA this year. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, likes the 76ers on the money line as they win outright in nearly 60% of model simulations.
College football bowl season continues Friday with three games, including a nighttime clash between FIU and UTSA. The Panthers enter this bowl game at 7-5 while the Roadrunners are 6-6. FIU will lean on Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year Kejon Owens, who rushed for nearly 1,300 yards with 11 touchdowns so far this season, while UTSA also has a 1,000-yard rusher in Robert Henry Jr. while quarterback Owen McCown, the son of former NFL quarterback Josh McCown, has tossed 27 touchdowns to seven interceptions this year. The SportsLine model is big on UTSA here as it has the Roadrunners covering the 5.5-point spread in 63% of simulations. Bet on NBA and college football games at Caesars Sportsbook here:
