| NBA | (551) Charlotte Hornets at (552) Atlanta Hawks: Moneyline | 7:40pm EST - Feb 7/2026 |
The PLAY: Charlotte Hornets -125
This Hornets team is for real. They've won eight straight, which is the longest such streak the franchise has seen in more than a quarter century. While that only has them 10th in the Eastern Conference standings, barely qualifying for the Play-In Tournament, the Hornets are tied for the East's fifth best YTD point differential.
Atlanta is 1.5 games ahead of Charlotte in the standings, but has a negative YTD point differential and roster upheaval. Newcomer Jock Landale did tie a career-high with 26 points in his Hawks' debut Thursday against Utah. But the team needed a last-second jumper from Nickeil Alexander-Walker to just to win that game. The Hawks were trailing entering the 4Q. Keep in mind the Jazz are one of the worst teams in the league.
Charlotte being favored here feels right to me. I'd play them on the ML. They've developed into one of the better three-point shooting teams in the league (third in makes, sixth in percentage). With the starting five of Ball, Bridges, Diabate, Knueppel and Milller, the team's record is 14-1 SU. Over the L15 games, the team's net rating is +11.7 with the #1 offense. For context, that net rating is close to what OKC has posted this season.

| NFL | (109) Seattle Seahawks at (110) New England Patriots | 6:30pm EST - Feb 8/2026 |
The PLAY: Jaxon Smith-Njigba To Win Super Bowl LX MVP (+550)
In terms of a "longshot" Super Bowl bet, I believe this is one worth making.
JSN is currently priced to have a 7-reception, 95-yard performance. If you like the Seahawks' top WR to go Over those numbers, then this is a bet I would definitely make. If he were to go Over those respective numbers, then JSN would certainly be in the MVP discussion.
Only the two QBs have shorter odds. But at this price, JSN is a good value in this market.
