Here are four sports betting offers available on the Mise-o-jeu site for the day of Monday, January 2 that are worth the detour.
Basketball: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers are one of the toughest home teams on the Silver Tour, with a 14-5 record, which explains why they find themselves in the good graces of the bookmakers heading into this duel. They've won their last eight games at home, but most of those wins have come against teams left out of the playoff picture. Before losing to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Pelicans had won their previous six games, including a home game against the Sixers. Zion Williamson is in great shape for the Louisiana team, he who ranks 17th in the NBA in points per game average (26.0). The opportunity will be great for the Pelicans, who could join the Denver Nuggets for first place in the Western Conference with a win.
Prediction: New Orleans Pelicans win – 2.70
Hockey : Penguins de Pittsburgh c. Bruins de Boston
Historically, the Winter Classic very rarely offers very offensive matches. In the last 10 editions, that was only the case for last year's game, a 6-4 win by the St. Louis Blues over the Minnesota Wild. The Bruins are a team that has scored a lot of goals since the start of the season, with 3.78 per game. The Boston three-headed monster of David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand will be ones to watch in this one-off game at Fenway Park, but the prowess of Tristan Jarry and Linus Ullmark since the start of the campaign suggests a goalkeeper duel .
Prediction: Under 6 goals in total – 1.95
Hockey: Canada v. Slovakia
Canada will have to be very careful with the Slovaks, who managed to surprise the United States during the preliminary phase. The Maple Leaf being still largely favored to win, it would be more profitable to turn to total goals. Why not trust the offensive machine that is the Maple Leaf, which has hit the target 29 times in 4 games? Connor Bedard will be looking to continue smashing more records over the next few games and that starts with a big offensive performance on Monday. With the hope of CH Filip Mesar, Dalibor Dvorsky and Peter Repcik, the Slovaks could also manage to score a few goals.
Prediction: Over 8 goals in total – 2.02
Football : Bengals de Cincinnati c. Bills de Buffalo
Josh Allen sits third in the NFL with 32 touchdown passes since the start of the season. The Bills quarterback is a safe bet for bettors. The latter managed to obtain at least two discounts for a major 10 times in 15 games. In the last five meetings, he has relied on star receiver Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis and Dawson Knox to finish plays in the pay zone. The Bengals have allowed 17 touchdowns by air this season.
Prediction: Josh Allen 1.5+ touchdown passes – 1.66
