NBA Public Bet: Clippers -3 at Bulls

The public is riding with the Los Angeles Clippers in tonight's NBA action against the Chicago Bulls. A whopping 70% of total bets on this game are on the Clippers to take care of business tonight and take down the struggling Bulls, who are one of the NBA's most disappointing teams in 2023. Any time 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.

The Clippers have won four of their last five games, and they can be a really good team if they actually have their full roster playing on a nightly basis. The problem with them is that you never truly know when they are actually going to play Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who often rest. Make sure to keep an eye on the injury report before you make a bet on this game. The Bulls have won three of their last five games, but it's been a very underwhelming campaign for Chicago. These teams haven't played each other yet this season, so it will be interesting to see how Chicago handles this team at home, as the Bulls haven't done great against Western squads.

College Basketball Public Bet: Miami -3.5 vs. Virginia 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. Not only does Miami have the large majority of bets in this game, but the line has also only moved in one direction, and that is towards Virginia Tech.

A huge 66% of bets on this game are for Miami, so you would think the spread would be moving in their favor right? You would be wrong. Virgina Tech has already moved from +4 to +3.5, and the money is flowing in on the Hokies tonight. Side with the public if you wish here, but I already snagged Virginia Tech +4.

NHL Public Bet: Hurricanes -200 vs. Kings

Huge ML favorites are something the public absolutely loves, and that is why Vegas will always come out on top. Imagine betting a -200 line and risking a lot to earn a little, and then the Hurricanes lose to the Kings 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 79% of all the bets in this game are on the Hurricanes to win at -200. Can the Hurricanes win? Sure, but there is no way that I would take this risk/reward to beat a team that is actually really good. The Kings have been underrated all year long, and they constantly are getting large plus-money odds when they face teams as good as the Hurricanes. I'm not saying they are going to win for sure, but i'll take a +180 number with them 10/10 times before I take the massive -200 with Carolina.
