March Madness Favourites at Cloudbet

College basketball’s biggest tournament is right around the corner and as always Cloudbet has you covered with the best odds and highest limits.

Game lines and an extensive list of futures markets will be available once the bracket is announced during Selection Sunday. Final Four and Top Scorer odds are already live.

The Big Dance is set to commence on March 15. Gonzaga, Kentucky and Arizona are favorites to make the Final Four.

Gonzaga (1.78 / -128 to make the Final Four of March Madness)
The Zags are the number one team in college basketball for a good reason. Gonzaga Bulldogs are 26-3 and boast the dangerous duo of Drew Timme and 7-foot Chet Holmgren. They enter March Madness having won their 10th straight WCC regular season title and will look to go one better than last year’s finals loss.

Kentucky (2.37 / +137)
The Wildcats head into March Madness having won all their home games. The majority of Kentucky’s losses can be attributed to key player injuries so expect the Wildcats to do some damage if they can stay healthy. Their success will be dependent on freshman Oscar Tshiebwe who is top in scoring (17.3), rebounding (15.3), steals (1.9), and blocks (1.5) for his team.

Arizona (2.40 / +140)
Arizona seems poised to make a deep run following their successful season in the Pac-12. First-year coach Tommy Lloyd has successfully implemented a high-flying offense that dominates the paint. Future lottery pick Bennedict Mathurin is an athletic forward who shoots the three at a respectable 38.2%. Mathurin links up well with rim rocker Christian Koloko and the pair will be a troublesome combo for opponents.

Top Teams in NFL Meet in NFC Conference Championships

The Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints will meet this Sunday (3:05 PM ET), with the victor representing the NFC in Super Bowl LIII.

The Rams and Saints are two of the most exciting offensive teams in the league, so this game may come down to which team’s defense can minimize the damage.

The Los Angeles Rams dominated the Dallas Cowboys in nearly every facet of the Divisional game last weekend and came out on top 30-22. For a game that featured two of the best running backs in the league, in Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott, the run game was on full display.

The Rams had the clear edge, however, as the Rams’ combination of Gurley and CJ Anderson couldn’t be stopped. The Saints are well matched for a rush-focused attack, which surrendered an average of just 80.2 rushing yards per game in the regular season.

Meanwhile the New Orleans Saints found a way to stop the unstoppable force of Nick Foles on Sunday. After falling behind by 14, they scored 20 straight points and ousted the defending champs 20-14.

Drew Brees and company are sure to be in a shootout against the Rams, so don’t miss what will likely be the game of the year.

NFL Betting : Vikings-Bears with NFC Wild Card at Stake

It all comes down to this game for the Minnesota Vikings : Beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday, and the Vikings will earn a Wild Card berth in the NFC. Bit if they lose then they’ll need some help to make the playoffs.

The Minnesota Vikings (8-6-1 SU and ATS) kept their playoff drive alive in Week 16 by beating the Detroit Lions 27-9 as 6.5-point road favorites. That’s back-to-back SU and ATS wins for Minnesota; they didn’t move the ball particularly well against the Lions until the second half, which has been an issue for the Vikes this year – especially in the run game, where they put up just 100 yards rushing against Detroit.

Meanwhile the Chicago Bears (11-4 SU and ATS) have already clinched the NFC North, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be taking it easy in Week 17. The Bears can still earn the No. 2 conference seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs with a win over Minnesota and a loss by the LA Rams, and the Rams don’t host the San Francisco 49ers until later in the afternoon.

The Bears beat the 49ers 14-9 in Week 16 as 4.5-point road favorites.

MLB World Series : LA Dodgers v Houston Astros in Game 1 of World Series on Tuesday

The Astros will send Dallas Keuchel (2-1, 2.60 ERA) to the mound. He lasted just 4.2 innings in his last start, which was a 5-0 road loss to the New York Yankees in Game 6 of the ALCS. Keuchel allowed four runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts and a walk. The 2015 AL Cy Young winner has never faced the Dodgers before.

The Dodgers counter with Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 3.63 ERA), who got the win in his last start – an 11-1 rout of the Chicago Cubs on the road, which closed out the NLCS. Over six innings, Kershaw gave up a run on three hits with five strikeouts and a walk. The three-time NL Cy Young winner (and 2014 MVP) has faced the Astros eight times, going 3-2 with a 2.38 ERA.

The two teams last met in August 2015, with the Astros scoring a three-game sweep at home. Overall, the two have split their last 10 meetings. Seven games fell under the posted total.

MLB Odds at Bovada : Red Sox and Yankees in 3 game series this week

There’s no greater rivalry in baseball than the New York Yankees versus the Boston Red Sox. They’ll play a three-game set at Yankee Stadium this week; the finale is Thursday at 7 PM ET on ESPN, with Michael Pineda (4.38 FIP) pitching for New York and David Price making his third start of the year for Boston.

Price (3.60 FIP last year) suffered an elbow injury in spring training and wasn’t activated until May 29, when he gave up three runs to the Chicago White Sox (+143 at home) in five innings of a 5-4 loss. But Price looked like his old self on Saturday, holding the Baltimore Orioles (+103 at home) to one run on three hits over seven innings as the Red Sox prevailed 5-2.

Pineda has led the Yankees to an 8-3 record in his 11 starts, picking up 4.52 betting units in the process. However, the towering northpaw has also enjoyed 6.82 runs of support per game and a friendly .276 BABIP. The over is 7-4 for Pineda thus far.

Meanwhile, CF Jacoby Ellsbury (.771 OPS) has been shut down indefinitely for the Yankees with recurring concussion symptoms. He’s expected to see a neurologist this week.

Champions League Final – Too close to Call ?

Arguably,  the two best club football teams in the world will meet this Saturday in the 2017 UEFA Champions League Final, at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

The defending champions Real Madrid will face Juventus in a rematch of the 1998 final with Real are slim favorites in this matchup, priced at +150 (2.50) on the moneyline with Juventus at +175 (2.75)  and the draw in regulation very much in play at +205 (3.05).

Real Madrid have won the Champions League 11 times including recently in 2014 and 2016, and they come into Saturday’s final as Spanish La Liga champions, led by the incomparable four-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristian Ronaldo.

But Juventus are a good match, featuring legendary Gianluigi Buffon in goal, having won Italy’s Serie A for the sixth straight year. Juve have allowed just one goal in their last seven matches combined.

Scoring could be even more difficult for Real Madrid if reports on Gareth Bale’s health are accurate. Bale suffered a right ankle tendon injury in November and had to leave last month’s Clasico against Barcelona after tweaking his calf. The Welsh national is still expected to play in front of what should be a pro-Real crowd in Cardiff.

NBA Finals Odds: Golden State Warriors Big Favorites to Beat Cleveland

This is the moment the Golden State Warriors have been waiting for all season.

After blowing that 3-1 lead to the Cleveland Cavaliers in last year’s NBA Finals, the Warriors are back, and they’re better than ever; Golden State has opened as a 7-point home favorite for Thursday’s opener (9 PM ET, ABC), and the Dubs are –240 on the NBA championship futures market.

Last year’s Warriors may have won 73 games, but they didn’t win the only game that counts: the last one. So they added Kevin Durant in free agency, giving them yet another league MVP to join Stephen Curry in the starting lineup. Durant is +220 and Curry is +230 to be named Finals MVP at the end of this series.

LeBron James is also +220 to win MVP, which would be his fourth award. Even though the Cavs are +200 underdogs to defend their title, James is easily the best player on his team – Kyrie Irving is his closest MVP competition at +1000. James has played at an exceptionally high level in these playoffs, too, putting up 32-8-7 per game while hitting 42.1% of his 3-pointers.

But will James be enough firepower to stop the Warriors – we don’t think so.

NHL Odds: Nashville’s Historic Playoff Run Continues

After sealing the Anaheim Ducks’ fate on Monday night with a 6-3 victory, the Nashville Predators made team history by qualifying for the franchise’s first Stanley Cup Final, which is set to begin May 29.

The recipe for success in the playoffs has been two-fold for the Predators: a balanced offensive attack and all-world goaltending. The Predators have seven players on their roster with double-digit points, which leads all NHL clubs.

Their top line of Ryan Johansen, Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson has been an offensive powerhouse (38 points collectively), while their top four defensemen have contributed an astounding 39 points as a group.

To understand the other half of Nashville’s success, look no further than their goaltender, Pekka Rinne. The Fin leads all playoff goaltenders in goals against average (1.70), save percentage (.941), wins (12), and is tied for the lead in shutouts (2).

There is no question that Rinne has been the league’s most valuable player thus far in the 2016-17 playoffs, and if he continues that pace, fans can expect not only a Stanley Cup, but also a Conn Smythe Trophy to be paraded down the streets of Nashville.

MLB : New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox on Friday

MLB Odds: Yankees, Red Sox Resume Ancient RivalryML Baseball picks

It’s one of the most ancient and enduring rivalries in US sports – the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

These two ballclubs have faced each other 2,137 times over the past 115 years, with the Yankees holding a 1,161-962 advantage heading into their latest series at Fenway Park. Game 1 of this three-game set takes place Friday night at 7:10 PM ET on the MLB Network.

This will be the first meeting of the 2016 regular season between the Yankees (8-12, –5.90 betting units) and the Red Sox (12-9, +1.84 units).

Masahiro Tanaka (3.14 FIP) is scheduled to take the mound for New York, while he might never be the same pitcher he was before he tore his elbow during his 2014 “rookie” campaign, but he’s played at a high level this year, leading the Yankees to three wins in four starts for a profit of 2.05 units.

Boston is expected to respond with Henry Owens, one of the top prospects in the system. Owens has been pressed into service because of injuries to the Red Sox rotation; in his 2016 debut, the 6-foot-6 southpaw gave up three runs over 3.1 innings in a 7-5 win over the Houston Astros (–105 at home).
