Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET, but football isn’t the only game in town today.
Yes, I understand how referring to the Super Bowl as “just a game” in the sentence above is the understatement of the century for most fans and recreational bettors, but when it comes to finding an edge there are more opportunities than Chiefs vs. Eagles.
College basketball, NHL and NBA are all in action on Sunday, including Hornets vs. Pistons at 1 p.m. ET (FDSDET).
NBA odds may not be a top priority for most bettors on Sunday, but that’s not stopping the pros from pouncing on Hornets vs. Pistons.
Let’s dig in.
NBA Odds, Sharpest Pick for Hornets vs. Pistons
*Odds as of Sunday morning
Detroit is a double-digit spread favorite against Charlotte according to live NBA odds.
Specifically, the Pistons sit between -10 and -10.5, depending on the sportsbook.
Interestingly, despite the large number the wiseguys are having no problems laying the points with Detroit.
The Pistons opened at -9.5 against the Hornets before sharps steamed Detroit, driving the spread up to (and even past) -10.
For those curious, steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
And as I mentioned above, this spread does vary depending on the sportsbook, so don’t lay 10.5 points when it’s extremely simple to find a shop offering -10, right?
