Atlanta is one of the worst teams in the league right now, leaking points all over the place. They’ve dropped 5 games in a row while allowing the 3rd most points in the NBA during this stretch. New York just celebrated a massive comeback win over the Cavs on Christmas Day, they’ve covered in 4 of 5 visits to State Farm Arena.

New York just celebrated a massive comeback win over the Cavs on Christmas Day, they’ve covered in 4 of 5 visits to State Farm Arena.

The Cavs have the NBA’s 2nd best offensive rating over their last 3 games, they’ll be facing a Rockets team that could potentially be without their center Alperen Sengun. If that’s the case I quite like the Cavs chances of covering the spread here.

Baltimore heads to Lambeau Field needing a win to keep its faint playoff hopes alive, while Green Bay can clinch a postseason spot and knock out Detroit with victory here. This game hinges on the health of Lamar Jackson and Jordan Love, with Tyler Huntley and Malik Willis possible starters. Even with the QB uncertainty, the Packers are the team to back, as Love is less critical to Green Bay than Jackson is to Baltimore, and Willis has shown he can manage games especially when supported by a top-tier Packers defense. With the Ravens struggling and facing a hostile Packers crowd, Green Bay looks well-positioned to win by at least a field goal.

The Cardinals head to Cincinnati in a Week 17 matchup that’s simply about draft position, but Arizona could be live to hang around despite riding a seven-game losing streak. The Cards have been competitive against sub-.500 teams and now face a Bengals defense near the bottom of the league against both the pass and the run, while Cincinnati has struggled to build momentum. With Joe Burrow historically underperforming as a big favorite and trends working against blowout wins, the value lies with Arizona to stay within a touchdown.

Caleb Williams carried the Bears to another comeback win in Week 16, as Chicago outlasted Green Bay in overtime behind 400 total yards of offense, timely defensive stops and clutch mistakes by the Packers. That victory clinched a playoff berth for Chicago and gave them a two-game lead in the NFC North. San Francisco stayed hot with its fifth straight win against the Colts, rolling up 440 yards, but questions remain about a defense that has feasted on soft competition and still ranks in the bottom third by EPA. San Fran might still pick up the win, but the Bears have proven to be good enough to at least stay within a field goal.

Over half of Gent’s home games have featured three or more goals, while the hosts have conceded twice in three of their last four league starts. Westerlo have a poor away record, but they’ve still scored 14 times in nine trips, while conceding over two goals per game.

Each of Nigeria’s last four games have seen both teams score, including their 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their tournament opener. They meet a Tunisia side who beate Uganda 3-1, with the Tunisians conceding in six of their last seven.

Pisa have failed to score in seven of their first eight home games this term, while Juventus have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions. Juve have the second-lowest xG against in Serie A and their improved form under Spalletti should see them ease to victory over the second-bottom hosts.

Estoril’s only defeat in their last six Primeira Liga home games came against second-placed Sporting, so they should be trusted to get the job done against Alverca. The visitors have won only two of their last nine matches on the road and should be vulnerable.

Perth Glory have won their last two A-League away days and could add to their points tally against a Melbourne City side that have only taken one point from their last two home fixtures.

Phil Foden has eased the scoring pressure on Erling Haaland in recent weeks with six goals in his last five league games. He can continue his purple patch with a goal at Forest.

Brentford forward Keane Lewis-Potter has stepped up to the mark in Dango Ouattara’s absence at the Africa Cup of Nations, scoring twice against Wolves last time out. The former Hull man can continue his fine form in this one.

Thierno Barry got his first Everton goal against Nottingham Forest recently and appears to have nailed down the starting spot up front. He has an expected goals figure of 2.7 and should be able to get on the scoresheet against a leaky home backline.

Six goals in 11 Premier League appearances against West Ham is an excellent return and Raul Jimenez is likely to add to that impressive tally on Saturday. The Hammers simply can’t defend, shipping three goals in each of their last two games, and the veteran Mexican will be buoyed after scoring the winner against Forest on Monday.

Manchester City have put together a seven-game winning run across all competitions and they’ve won their last three Premier League games by three-goal margins. Forest’s form has dipped with three defeats in their last five league games, so City should be able to cover a -1 handicap at the City Ground.

West Ham find themselves five points from safety and that is unlikely to improve on Saturday. Fulham beat in-form Nottingham Forest on Monday to make it five wins in eight Premier League games and they look far too strong for a Hammers side who have conceded 35 league goals and lost six of their last eight home matches.

Burnley have lost seven of their last eight games and have some of the worst underlying data in the Premier League. They look unlikely to get anything out of an Everton team who have been solid this term and should be too strong.

Wolves have taken only two points from their 17 Premier League outings and look destined for relegation. The visitors have lost 11 on the spin and they have scored just twice in their last eight outings. Liverpool are chasing a fourth straight victory and can do so to nil.

Aston Villa have won seven straight Premier League matches but they are not relying on their defensive discipline to grind out results as they have conceded in seven of their last eight victories and both teams have scored in six of their last seven on the road.

Sunderland are the only Premier League side other than Arsenal not yet to taste a home defeat, having won five and drawn three of their eight matches on Wearside. The Black Cats could build on that against Leeds, who have suffered defeat in six of their eight away league games.

Both Crystal Palace and Tottenham are struggling as of late and this could be an end-to-end affair. Eight of Tottenham’s last nine games have gone over 2.5 goals and the same is fancied in a game in which both teams could score too.

Tom: Hugo Ekitike has 11 goals to his name this season and five of those have come in his last four outings. The Frenchman has registered the most shots in Liverpool’s squad this season and against the worst team in the league, he should be able to add at least one goal to his tally for the campaign.

Ian: Hearts made it four wins from four Scottish Premiership matches against the Old Firm when they beat Rangers 2-1 at Tynecastle on Sunday and the leaders look unlikely to slow down when they head across Edinburgh to take on Hibernian.

James: Motherwell have gone 10 games without defeat in the league, winning six and drawing four, while they have tasted success twice and shared the spoils three times across their last five away fixtures.

Aaron A: Torino have battled their way to successive 1-0 victories over Cremonese and Sassuolo in Serie A and they can make it three wins on the spin when they welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.

Aaron R: Pisa have lost three of their last four league games to nil, while they’ve failed to score in home defeats by Roma, Inter Milan, Udinese, and Parma this season. Back the Old Lady to join that list at odds-against, with the visitors conceding the second-fewest Expected Goals in Italy’s top-flight.

Gareth: Lazio have lost four of their eight Serie A trips and have only scored four goals across those games. Udinese have a mixed home record but have won three of their last five games at this venue, including wins over Napoli and Atalanta, and as big price underdogs they look worth the risk against this inconsistent Lazio outfit.

Manchester City have put together a seven-game winning run across all competitions and they’ve won their last three Premier League games by three-goal margins. Forest’s form has dipped with three defeats in their last five league games, so City should be able to cover a -1 handicap at the City Ground.

Arsenal beat Brighton 2-0 in the EFL Cup at the end of October, while the visitors are winless in four matches and have scored just one goal across their last three games, and they have failed to score in three of their last five match-ups with the league leaders.

Venezia are third in Serie B, and they’ve had little trouble at home to the league’s bottom sides. They’ve hosted five of the bottom seven, winning every game and scoring 13 times. Entella are sixth-bottom, having lost six of their first eight trips, including four defeats by a two-goal margin or greater.

Ross County have lost four straight games, conceding 13 times in that stretch. They’re bottom of the table with seven defeats in 10 home games, while leaders St Johnstone have won 5-0 and 4-2 in their previous two matches.

Empoli haven’t failed to score at home in Serie B this season, netting 16 times in nine matches. They meet an in-form Frosinone side, who have won each of their last five. Both teams have scored in the visitors’ last two games, while Empoli have managed only two home clean sheets so far.

Nine of Dender’s previous 10 games have seen both teams score, with the bottom club keeping only two clean sheets this term. Mechelen have scored in seven of their eight meetings with the bottom six, including a 3-1 win at Dender earlier this term.

Each of Nigeria’s last four games have seen both teams score, including their 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their tournament opener. They meet a Tunisia side who beate Uganda 3-1, with the Tunisians conceding in six of their last seven.

Aston Villa have won seven straight Premier League matches but they are not relying on their defensive discipline to grind out results as they have conceded in seven of their last eight victories and both teams have scored in six of their last seven on the road.

Over half of Gent’s home games have featured three or more goals, while the hosts have conceded twice in three of their last four league starts. Westerlo have a poor away record, but they’ve still scored 14 times in nine trips, while conceding over two goals per game.

Venezia are third in Serie B, and they’ve had little trouble at home to the league’s bottom sides. They’ve hosted five of the bottom seven, winning every game and scoring 13 times. Entella are sixth-bottom, having lost six of their first eight trips while shipping over two goals per game.

Bottom side Ross County have seen 28 goals scored across their last seven fixtures, while leaders St Johnstone have scored 19 times in their nine away league games so far. There have been four or more goals in 44% of their trips and they face a Ross County side who have shipped 21 goals in their last seven, so back this to be high-scoring considering the visitors have netted nine goals across their last two games.

Empoli haven’t failed to score at home in Serie B this season, netting 16 times in nine matches. They meet an in-form Frosinone side, who have won each of their last five. Both teams have scored in the visitors’ last two games, while Empoli have managed only two home clean sheets so far.

Each of Nigeria’s last four games have seen both teams score, including their 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their tournament opener. They meet a Tunisia side who beate Uganda 3-1, with the Tunisians conceding in six of their last seven.

Annan have seen an average of four goals scored per game at home this term, while they’ve rattled off successive 3-1 victories in League Two. They meet a Stranraer side who have hit form, scoring 10 times in a three game unbeaten run.

No team in the Premier League has drawn more games than Bournemouth’s seven this season and they could be forced to settle for another stalemate when they visit Brentford, who have only lost one of their eight home games this season.

Four of the last six head-to-heads between these two have ended in stalemate and after two impressive performances to start the group stages from two of the biggest teams in the tournament, this could be the same.

Annan have seen an average of four goals scored per game at home this term, while they’ve rattled off successive 3-1 victories in League Two. They meet a Stranraer side who have hit form, scoring 10 times in a three game unbeaten run.

West Ham find themselves five points from safety and that is unlikely to improve on Saturday. Fulham beat in-form Nottingham Forest on Monday to make it five wins in eight Premier League games and they look far too strong for a Hammers side who have conceded 35 league goals and lost six of their last eight home matches.

Ross County have lost four straight games, conceding 13 times in that stretch. They’re bottom of the table with seven defeats in 10 home games, while leaders St Johnstone have won 5-0 and 4-2 in their previous two matches.

Cove Rangers have lost five of their nine trips so far this term, while they’ve been beaten 3-1 and 2-1 in meetings with Peterhead. The hosts have won five home games this term, but they have shipped 1.44 goals per game at home, beating bottom side Kelty Hearts 3-2 in their previous home game.

Falkirk travel to Dundee with an 11-point advantage despite being only three places higher. Dundee have lost seven of their last nine Premiership games and struggle for goals. Falkirk have three clean sheets in four away matches and have scored regularly against bottom-half opposition.

Estoril’s only defeat in their last six Primeira Liga home games came against second-placed Sporting, so they should be trusted to get the job done against Alverca. The visitors have won only two of their last nine matches on the road and should be vulnerable.

Estrela have lost 4-0 at Sporting and 3-1 at Porto in their last two away league games and another defeat could be on the cards at Famalicao. The hosts sit sixth in the Primeira Liga and they swatted aside Estoril 4-0 in their last outing at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao.

Each of Nigeria’s last four games have seen both teams score, including their 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their tournament opener. They meet a Tunisia side who beate Uganda 3-1, with the Tunisians conceding in six of their last seven.

St Mirren are two places and five points above Kilmarnock and have won their last two Premiership home games. They have scored in four straight league matches. Kilmarnock have one win in eight away games and have lost nine of their last 11 Premiership fixtures.

Udinese could not break their losing habit last weekend, suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat away to Fiorentina in their last Serie A outing. The hosts are enduring a difficult run of results, having lost four times in their last six Serie A games, so back Lazio to take the points.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between these sides, one of which ended in a 2-2 draw. The Blues drew 2-2 at Newcastle last time out and Villa are in irresistible form following ten straight victories, so this should be a high-scoring encounter.

West Ham find themselves five points from safety and that is unlikely to improve on Saturday. Fulham beat in-form Nottingham Forest on Monday to make it five wins in eight Premier League games and they look far too strong for a Hammers side who have conceded 35 league goals and lost six of their last eight home matches. While a win may prove beyond West Ham, the threat of Jarrod Bowen and creativity of Mateus Fernandes means they should at least give their growingly worried fans something to cheer at the London Stadium. Fulham have managed just one clean sheet in six games.

Celtic should be able to claim a second win under Wilfried Nancy against bottom side Livingston, but the hosts could still find the net. Both teams to score has occurred in four of Celtic’s last six Premiership away games, and they have been vulnerable at the back recently.

Cove Rangers have lost five of their nine trips so far this term, while they’ve been beaten 3-1 and 2-1 in meetings with Peterhead. The hosts have won five home games this term, but they have shipped 1.44 goals per game at home, beating bottom side Kelty Hearts 3-2 in their previous home game.

League Two leaders Spartans have won five of eight away trips this term, conceding in seven of those games. Edinburgh City have lost four times at home this term, while BTTS has landed in all eight of their home matches.

Bottom side Ross County have seen 28 goals scored across their last seven fixtures, while leaders St Johnstone have scored 19 times in their nine away league games so far. There have been four or more goals in 44% of their trips and they face a Ross County side who have shipped 21 goals in their last seven, so back this to be high-scoring considering the visitors have netted nine goals across their last two games.

Annan have seen an average of four goals scored per game at home this term, while they’ve rattled off successive 3-1 victories in League Two. They meet a Stranraer side who have hit form, scoring 10 times in a three game unbeaten run.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between these sides, one of which ended in a 2-2 draw. The Blues drew 2-2 at Newcastle last time out and Villa are in irresistible form following ten straight victories, so this should be a high-scoring encounter.

Edinburgh City have seen an average of 4.13 goals per game at home this term, while they won 3-2 at Forfar in their last outing. League leaders Spartans have scored 16 goals in their eight trips, and they head to a side who have won 4-3, but lost 3-1 (twice) and 4-1 across their last four at home.

Six goals in 11 Premier League appearances against West Ham is an excellent return and Raul Jimenez is likely to add to that impressive tally on Saturday. The Hammers simply can’t defend, shipping three goals in each of their last two games, and the veteran Mexican will be buoyed after scoring the winner against Forest on Monday.

West Ham find themselves five points from safety and that is unlikely to improve on Saturday. Fulham beat in-form Nottingham Forest on Monday to make it five wins in eight Premier League games and they look far too strong for a Hammers side who have conceded 35 league goals and lost six of their last eight home matches.

Juventus have scored exactly twice in four of their last six games, while they’ve generated 6.6 xG across their previous three starts. None of Pisa’s home games have featured more than two goals this term, while under 2.5 has landed in 75% of the visitors’ away games.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between these sides, one of which ended in a 2-2 draw, and that could be the way to go for correct-score punters with Chelsea far from convincing odds-on favourites. The Blues drew 2-2 at Newcastle last time out and Villa are in irresistible form following ten straight victories.
