NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS attempt to reach their fifth successive AFC Championship final tonight when they host Kansas City Chiefs in an NFL play-off crunch.
The Pats are sweating over the fitness of star tight-end Rob Gronkowski, who had treatment on a knee injury this week, while wide receiver Julian Edelman returns after missing the last seven games with a broken foot.
New England are favourites at 1-2 (Ladbrokes) but face a Chiefs side in red-hot form with 11 straight wins. The visitors – whose win in the last round was their first play-off success in 22 years – are 2-1 at Unibet and over 42.5 points in the match pays 20-23 at Betfair.
It's semi-final day at the Masters snooker with Judd Trump taking on Barry Hawkins and Ronnie O'Sullivan doing battle with Stuart Bingham.
Other highlights on a packed Saturday of sport include rugby, Test cricket and NBA action so let's hear all your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks) Over (28.0) PR&A @ 5/6 @ PP – 3.6 points **WIN**
Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns) Over (12.5) Points @ 5/6 @ PP – 1.2 points **LOSE**
Booker got himself in foul trouble early and only played about 5 minutes of the first half and could only end up with 9 points. Middleton got the job done late in the 4th.
Won’t put the write ups for the NFL games as it took up a bit of room but users of this thread have probably seen it by now anyway.

Nice one with Middleton, took him and Crowders overs.
Finally won 2/2 haha
I had a sneaky feeling you’d be on Crowder. Cheers though bud.
His overs are too good to be true at the moment mate!
Surely he has to have an off game coming up soon though
You’d think mate. With NBA props you have to try and spot when a player has been hot before his overs go up, as a lot of the time it is done by averages. 14.5 tonight wasn’t he? I did have a look myself ;)
Yea he’s starting to go up, he was 13.5 for a few games.
I almost took Mahinmi o8.5 but the game started while I was deciding, got lucky tonight as he only got 7!
Hassan Whiteside has a triple double. Not assists though. 12, yep TWELVE blocks!
@Jordan is there a site for team news on NBA?
Wade was out for the heat so Bosh had to go big and did(relatively), would be pretty useful if there was a site similar to soccerway for NBA.
Cheers!
@nick2
http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nba/ – is good for team news on injuries etc.
http://www.nba.com/stats – player stats etc
I use the top one that Raoul has posted but for stats I use ESPN.
Cheers lads!
Taylor Fritz has won me some Golden Leaves of late..so it will be rude not to back the 18 year old boy wonder tonight in his final qualifier for the Oz open.
He is up against Mischa Zverev who is not a bad player so sensible stakes advised.
Taylor Fritz to Win 5/6 bet365…WIN
Also on the match to go over 22.5 games should be closeish and probably go 3 sets.
Over 22.5 games 5/6 bet365..WIn

Nice one lettuce!
Nice one @thewetlettuce, was on Fritz but missed the acca. Profit anyways! Good stuff.
Milwaukee Bucks +4 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 1.1 Point – *WON*
Houston Rockets +1 @ 1.90 (PP) – 1.1 Point – *LOST*
Miami Heat -2 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 1.1 Point. – *WON*
Oklahoma City Thunder – 6
Portland Trail Blazers ML
Double @ Evens – 1 Point. – *WON*
3-1, can’t complain about that.
Nice one Raoul, was on all.
Nice one Oriaz. Apologies about Rockets, it was a bad call. I went for them based on their home record against Cavs, who were also on b2b games. Clearly didn’t matter! Haha.
I should remember that Rockets are wack.. :P
Some great picks bud. Thought Rockets would put up more of a fight but was surprised to see Cavs so low on the spreads.
Cheers hunter, yea in truth I thought it would be a much tighter game.
Well done Raoul Duke.
I was on your double..cheers..never in doubt.
My 5 fold became 4 fold as Trungletti match was void..lucky aswel ..Harrison opponent had 3 match points and choked.
A wins a WIn tho.
Well done Winners.
Sock match was a void in the end, glad he retired instead of losing me my money. That’s my boy.
Thanks Raoul and Wet Lettuce.
Masters Snooker
Trump ML

Has to be!! Snooker is a funny game but can’t see these two losing today against inferior opposition.
1.8 @ bet 365
GL if you follow
Fritz to beat Zverev,
£100 staked ,
Win, Came in just about , didn’t see that the Wlettuce had tipped this also so well done to him,
Fritz won 6 games in a row from 0-4 in the third,
***POSTED YESTERDAY***
Had the worst day of the Basketball season yesterday…..Apologies to those who followed. Looking to bounce back today with a Fivefold.
EuroHoops Fivefold
Antibes (-5.5) ***WON***
Malaga (-3.5) ***WON***
Leiden (-19) ***WON***
Fenerbahce (Money Line) ***WON***
Barcelona (+11.5) ***WON***
Fivefold @ 6/1 Bet365 – 1pt staked. ***WON***
Good luck!
5 from 5 after a days wait for Anitabes to land. Not usually one for cashing out unless it’s over 90%. Anitabes went into the 4th with a 14 point lead and cashing out at this point was ideal. They won by 6 in the end but it could just have easily lost.
@hunter, very nice mate!
Smashed it as always.
Any Euro ball today @hunter ?
Smashed it!!sorry just woke up so a bit late on my congratulations lol…..nightshifttttt arghhh ?…
Not a bad card today in the EuroHoops. We have quite a few domestic games, albeit more obscure leagues. We also have the Euroleague in action again. The Euroleague has been a thorn in my side this season and I rode my luck a bit with the Barca game yesterday, so I’ve decided to stick with a domestic fivefold…..
EuroHoops Fivefold
Caceres (-5.5) ***WON***
CB Atapuerca Burgos (Money Line) ***LOST*** (In OT)
BC Lulea (-12.5) ***WON***
Boncourt Red Team (-16.5) ***LOST*** (By 2pts)
BC Beroe (-5.5) ***WON***
Fivefold @ just under 6/1 Skybet – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
—————
Really dissapointing! Burgos struggled to finish off their opponents and lost in OT. Boncourt eased off after a big lead and they only managed to win by 15 in the end.
Hunter mate, any ball bets for us today? :D
Nice shooting wetveg!
No surprises from Ross. Good one mate.
only 4 playoff games in nfl this weekend to small stakes go over points in pats v chiefs at 39.5 ,cards v packers 44.5 ,panthers v seahawks 42.5 and broncos v steelers 37.5 pays 11/2 alt points spread William hills. also fancy the four home teams, to progress… think the pats v chiefs game will be closer than most think ,Kansas rolled over Houston and on 11 game winning run, brady tho is the best I have seen.i also think Denver are worst with peyton manning but their defense is awesome. panthers coin flip , a Rodgers is class but packers offense been poor all year apart from against Washington whose defense is porous. all about opinions good luck all if placing a bet …
End of the day mate its 50/50 betting. Reason why I never take much credit when an NFL bet wins. Same with NBA. Good luck with your bets.
EuroHoops Fivefold
Thanks for the the shouts lads?
For some reason I’m not feeling overly confident today! Think I’ve changed my mind on too many occasions and even decided to leave out earlier games as they have a habit of killing your bets early on.
I was really impressed by PAOK against Limoges in the Eurocup the other day and think they have a good chance against high flying AEK Athens but I’ve left them off my selections and will prob take them as a single. Anyway, here’s what I have for todays hoops….
Zabok (+14.5)
Lions J Hradec (+7.5)
Monaco (+1.5)
BC Juventus (+6.5)
Pheoenix Hagen / Gissen 46ers (Over 159.5)
Fivefold @ just under 7/1 Skybet – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
Cheers Jordan
On your NFL double has to be..Good Luck.
Istanbul / Banvit game starting at 14:00GMT.
EuroHoops Treble
Istanbul (+10)
PAOK (+2.5)
Buducnost (HT/FT)
Treble @ 12/5 Bet365 – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
PAOK look tired…..Can’t even protect their arc. Not good!!!
I’ve got another double tonight…
Charlotte Hornets ML
Golden State Warriors – 2.5
Double @ Evens – 1.2 Points.
Good luck.
On it again raoul ..?..thanks for yesterday’s evens double bro..??
See @nick, a few good games and Crowder is now at 16. Points and Rebounds could be worth a look at 21.5.
Other markets I like are Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 21.5 Points and Rebounds, Middleton is one higher tonight at 29 PR&A. Kemba Walker 28 and Batum 29.5 PR&A. Too much staked on the NFL though so will probably skip the hoops tonight.
Yep the value is gone there now, too risky!
They’ve started clocking onto Robin Lopez as well, a few weeks ago his P+R were o13.0
Good luck Jordan lookin forward to tonight and tomorrow s games ?
Nfl Saturday
Have finally got over minnesota heart breaking loss last week and ready for the weekend action.
Having week off will have helped the pats and getting edelman back will help Brady.
Patriots to win -5
Edelman anytime scorer 23/20
Think green Bay could cause arizona a few problems so am taking the points in offer
Green Bay +7 evens
Double patriots -5 and green Bay +7 pays 2.8/1 possibly better odds out there but the pub is calling so they’re on with bet365 good luck and enjoy the games
Loving the faith in the Pack Lee but I can’t see it personally. Obviously wish you the best. Have a pint on me.
Fun fourfold in European basketball for a bit of an interest on a Saturday night:
Le Mans -8
Milano -6.5
BC Oostende -12.5
Buducnost -9.5
1pt fourfold
Good luck if you follow
Evening lads, poor night on the nba last night for me was saved by the bookies thinking harden could score over 28 against the cavs.
Tonight
Draymond green over 32.5 PR&A
Antetokounmpo over 6.7 boards
£50 returns £168
Longshot
Bucks +9.5 (i think they will actually win outright)
Gsw -2.5
Clippers -2.5
Jazz -2.5
Trail blazers -2.5
£20 returns £125
Waiting on cousins line to come out to put in a treble with middleton and lillard
Gl all
Statement made by the Patriots. 11 plays, all passes. Brady to Gronkowski for the opening drive TD!
Great start!
Edelmen looking good as well!
Edelman*
Everyone looked good on that drive mate. When PP brought the props out they put Amendola at 26.5! Checked in the morning and it had gone up to 36.5. Already has 16 haha.
We’ve jinxed him haha
Might’ve been for the best, they’re spicing it up with the running game now!
When that challenge was denied I think all 66k people knew the sneak was coming there!
Detroit Pistons +7 @ Evens (PP) – 1.1 Points.
Fairly ballsy, especially considering I have Warriors in my double….. they win tonight, but I don’t think they cover.
Landing both is possible, I’m not feeling much else tonight and it’s only 1 point.
Good luck.
Edelman is a beast haha
You don’t turn the ball over on the Pats. Brady punishes Berry with a pump fake!
Sold him massively with the fake. When Brady is on it he is lethal. They get in on their 20 and within 2 or 3 plays within field goal range with ease
Can’t see KC coming back now mate. Should of had a flag for pass interference there on KC but refs must have been checking out some fluff in the crowd :)
Definitely should have called it but looks like it’s over for KC now even if they do something special New England look like they are capable of making 80 yard drives now every time
If this gets turned over or if they fail on 4th down I’m pretty certain Pats will score again to make it a three possession game and that’ll be game over and onto the Cardinals.
Do you think him not knocking it down then on fourth down is just a bit of a brain freeze as them playing fourth downs are so rare. They didn’t seem to realise after the play that it would have been better to bat away not catch the interception?
Haha as you saw it didn’t matter anyway ;)
Haha as you saw it didn’t matter anyway ;)

huggys bets
john wall over 20.5
knicks +6
hopefully some better luck , well done all those that mopped up today….
I’m on John wall too huggy hopefully he shots more today ,he likes racking up those assists these days…still fuming about that last min Goal in the Liverpool game..? We are 3rd Now..u reckon we will beat Stoke?
John wall!!!18 in the first half ?
Gronks helmet MVP
Cover available if anyone followed but I’m letting it run.
Surely the last Chiefs t.d. would be classed as a passing t.d. Bet 365 classed my over 3.5 t.d. as a losing bet???
Can’t have because there was 5 TD’s?
Besides, passing or running. A TD is a TD.
Jordan It was over 3.5 passing t.d.
Surely that doesn’t mean it needs to be caught in the end zone as Chiefs last one was passed then a very short run.
The last TD was a run. It is called a pitch. When the ball goes backwards or sideways its not a pass.
What’s happening to GSW ffs
Warriors @ Pistons 2nd Half Over 106.5 @ 1.86 – 1.2 Points
Christ my Pack have caught a break there!
I don’t understand why you’d grab someones helmet when you know the consequences
It happens almost every play Nick mate. You’d be surprised the amount of times players get away with penalties that would be called on the very next play.
Cheers for the bad news Jordan. Didn’t think it was sideways, but will look again. Green Bay could spring a surprise tonight?
Haha sorry mate but I don’t make the rules. Was definitely a running TD though bud. Unlucky.
Jordan just in from work Rodgers playin and scramblin well this could be a food one
Should be 14-0 to the Cardinals mate. Peterson 100 yard pick six was brought back for defensive hands to the face. Lost Cobb for the game though so Janis and Abbrederis are stepping up.
Good one lol
@huggybear518 thanks for the John wall tip mate..sailed through!!!? Two great tips from you and Jordan (gignacccccc lol) tonight..??…Hoping for GSW revival now..?
Crowder gets both his overs once again, I wonder what they’ll put him at next game haha
And Giannis. No wonder they call him The Greek Freak haha
What’s happening with GSW tonight..jeeeeez ..?
Well that was poo!! They didn’t have their wetabix today?…
Palmer just throwing up prayers. Can’t handle the blitz. Pretty worried for my bet if I’m honest!
What a night to lump on GSW.. Wow just wow
Ouch, Cousins overs are at 29.0, I swear I checked earlier and they were like 27.5!
Clippers team look pretty depleted, taking CP3’s assists instead
Anybody watching this NFL game? Thrilling!!
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry. My Pack could be out but I could be pulling in a few pounds shy of £150…
And cp3 gets 9 minutes in the first half due to foul trouble :D
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANOTHER HAIL MARY WITH NO TIME ON THE CLOCK TIES IT FOR THE PACKERS TO TAKE IT TO OT!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF!!
I’m converted!!
Tell me this though I bet the packers +5.5 so have I won or does it carry on in to overtime??
Wow. Madness this game!!
Jeezo man!! This game is mental!!, always thought it was boring but on this evidence I need to have a re think
Hahaha welcome to the playoffs!
Carries on mate but if Cards score a TD its over and you’ll lose. That play from Fitzgerald just sunk me.
Ok, now I could cry. Never ever thought that could happen twice in one season. But what a game. Best game I’ve ever witnessed hands down!
NFL Divisional Round
New England Patriots ML
Arizona Cardinals ML
@ 97/100 – 15 points **WIN**
Sort of feels like a loss considering we came that close.
Awwww man that doesn’t make any sense??
If they got beat by 4 I would have won but because they got that last minute Hail Mary and in effect draw I lose???? That’s just not right…….ok scrub that last comment, I was dancing around the living room like a kid with ADHD on Mars bars thinking I’d won…………this game is not good and it’s not right, step away and stick to the football lol
You would have lost anyway mate because the Packers needed a TD and extra point regardless to take it to OT.
