THE Six Nations rugby championship kicks off this weekend and Grand Slam champions England are once again the team to beat.
Eddie Jones' side are on an impressive 14-match winning streak – including a 3-0 series whitewash of Australia Down Under – and can beat the All Blacks' world record of 18 victories in a row if they repeat the Six Nations Grand Slam, which pays 9-4 at Boylesports.
England are 10-11 at Ladbrokes to win the Six Nations, with Ireland next in the betting at 5-2 with Paddy Power followed by Wales (9-1, Coral), France (14-1, Boylesports), Scotland (25-1, Skybet) and Italy (1000-1, bet365).
A dual forecast of England/Ireland finishing first and second is an 11-8 chance at Sportingbet and for the top tournament points scorer it's England's Owen Farrell the favourite at 11-8 with Sportingbet followed by Wales' Leigh Halfpenny at 16-5 with Sportingbet and Scotland's Greig Laidlaw at 9-2 with Skybet.
Today's sporting action features the likes of cycling and NBA so let's hear all your tips and chat and Jordan will add his basketball picks below.

Kings / 76ers well over the line in a close, high scoring encounter. Heat doing the business with an 8pt win against the Nets.
Well done to the winners!
Early start for me today and will be busy for most of it, but a small euro card so hopefully have time to pick-out a few later.
Great stuff again bud ??
Cheers Lucky?

Not a great start to the week ?…maybe I should have stuck to my first Lean as Drummond had a monster ?..

Magic + 8.5 @ 1.90 (PP) – ✔
Kings – 3.5 @ 1.90 (PP) – ✖
A split night to start the week, I can live with that.
Serves me right for temporarily removing Kings from my blacklist… right back they go, indefinitely.
Thankful that Magic made the cover in OT.
I lean Rockets -11.5 tonight, would have liked it more had Kings won last night, would have been a potential double stake. But I’m downgrading it to a lean.
Kings playing a b2b, 3rd game in 4 nights and 7th in 10. This is also the last of an 8 game road trip, it’s a really tough schedule!
Rockets looking to bounce back from that 19 point loss against the Pacers.
I’ll finalise my bet(s) later.
Updated record
Week – 1-1
Season- 71-56
Couldn’t believe it mate. Think we just need to realise that they aren’t the whipping boys anymore. With or without Joel.
Yeah man they just keep pulling up surprises ..
Like the rockets bet mate – defo think they will bounce bk tonight – harden had a poor scoring game that night at Indiana so he might have a good one tonight..

Euro Cup Basketball
Just having a look over todays Euro card and there’s just a handful of game. A short research and I’ve come up with a Euro Cup double that should stand a good chance….
Kuban entertain G Canaria in what should be an interesting encounter. Canaria are a good Spanish outfit and deserve respect but Kuban have really impressed since changing coaches and are currently on an 11 game win streak. They’re well known for their defensive abilities but have looked equally as good of late in their offensive play. Kuban should make it their 12th win.
In the later tie, Valencia entertain Cedevita in what should be a high scoring encounter. I was tempted by the overs here and although I’m not a fan of double results I do believe its the safer bet as I expect Valencia to dominate and control the game from the off.
Gran Canaria @ Lokomotiv Kuban (17:00GMT)
Money Line: Kuban
Cedevita @ Valencia (19:30GMT)
HT / FT: Valencia / Valencia
Double @ 24/25, Coral – 2.6pts staked.
Good luck!
Avaliable at just over Evens @ Bet365.

@the-lucky-filipino can’t believe the odds for ignatik mate especially after he has just beaten the likes of rublev,his confidence must be high. Hopefully win some money because i have few matches i like tomorrow
Yeah been looking through all of his 2016 h2h games he must be in high in confidence some good wins..specially tonight against a guy with 1 win in 8 games he should stroll through easily..yeah let me know ur tennis Leans for 2mo, ur in good form man ..going bk to work now mate so hopefully some good results when I next look at my phone haha..??

NBA player prop…
Kemba walker over 29.5 P&A 5/6 PP….
i fancy the little man to cause some damage against Portlands poor defence..it’s evident the blazers concentrates more on attack rather than defence and if they continue this trend kemba should exploit those open spaces or find a team mate in space…could be a very explosive match and a game that should suit kemba …
Good luck all….
