NBA Public Bet: Wizards -6 at Spurs

The public is riding with the Washington Wizards in tonight's NBA action against the San Antonio Spurs. A whopping 71% of total bets on this game are on the Wizards to take care of business tonight and put the hammer down on the hapless Spurs, who are one of the NBA's worst teams in 2023. Anytime the public is heavily backing a certain side, you could do well fading them in some spots. However, that doesn't always work, so make sure you are checking where the sharp money is going as well before you decide to fade the public.

Let's be honest here, the Spurs are probably the worst team in the NBA, and that isn't shocking. Even head coach Gregg Popovich said at the beginning of the season that it would be foolish to bet on them because they just don't have the talent right now. The public certainly listened to his advice here, and they are fading his team against a Wizards team that has won five straight games. The Spurs have lost five straight games, so the formula is pretty clear as to why 71% of the bets are on Washington.

College Basketball Public Bet: No. 12 Iowa State -1 at Texas Tech

The public loves backing a ranked team vs. an unranked team, especially when the spread is this small. You can always count on them to take the favorite for the most part, or the team that has the bigger storyline. I'll be fading them in this game, and I would recommend you do the same. At first, I was on Iowa State, but I didn't like the way the money was moving, which is almost entirely toward the Red Raiders.

A huge 64% of bets on this game is for Iowa State, so you would think the spread would be moving in their favor right? You would be wrong. The spread isn't moving anywhere, and that is because the sharp side lies with Texas Tech, and where the money is headed as well.

NHL Sharp Bet: Jets -235 vs. Blues

Huge ML favorites are something the public absolutely loves, and that is why Vegas will always come out on top. Imagine betting a -235 line and risking a lot to earn a little, and then the Jets lose to the Blues and the sportsbooks gobble up your huge risk. It happens all the time, and the books love upsets because it means they make a ton of money from foolish bettors who are willing to bet on these lines.

As of this writing, a massive 82% of all the bets in this game are on the Jets to win at -235. That is just crazy, especially on a team like Winnipeg, which I believe is one of the most overrated teams in the entire NHL in 2023. Do yourself a favor and take the value with the Blues.
