Valentine’s Day’s Best ESPN BET Bets: Michigan St-Penn St, Hawks-Hornets, Panthers-Penguins
Another night, another 3-0 outing for the Winning Picks for the second straight day. Pitt was able to pull off another huge win on the road, covering in the process over Virginia. We got it by the hook, but the under still covered in Duquesne/Dayton. The Dukes’ season is getting uglier and uglier. Dallas was able to hold on and win over Carolina in the NHL. We moved to 151-110-3 on the year, back over a 57% win percentage.
And with today being Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about love. No, not that love, Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love. The Utah St product had a breakout campaign in his first year as the Packers starting QB. He finished this season top 10 in passing yards, passing touchdowns (finished 2nd to Dak Prescott) and QBR. Love and Green Bay upset the Cowboys in the playoffs before falling to the Super Bowl runner up 49ers.
Now, what is in store for Love in 2024? You can find Mr. Love at 12/1 right now to win the NFL MVP next season. The Packers themselves are 22/1 to win the Super Bowl next year. The sky’s the limit for both Love and this Green Bay team, who currently have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL. I believe both Love for MVP and Packers Super Bowl are both bets I would make for the 2024 NFL season. If you want to take those now, you’ll just have to wait almost a year for those bets to cash. But, as in life, Love can be worth the wait.

Michigan St Spartans (-3.5) at Penn St Nittany Lions O/U 143.5 6:30 PM on Big Ten Network
Speaking more about love, Michigan St hasn’t been getting much love away from East Lansing this season. The Spartans are 1-5 on the road this season, with their only win coming by 2 points against Maryland, who is 3rd from the bottom in the Big Ten.
Penn St has been up and down like crazy this year, sitting at 12-12 in the middle of the pack of the conference. The Nittany Lions were blasted by the Spartans last month in a 31 point drumming on the road. But last night we saw Syracuse beat a North Carolina team at home after being crushed by 36 on the road by the Heels.
Though I don’t believe PSU will win this game outright, I like the Nittany Lions to cover the small spread at home versus the Spartans.

Atlanta Hawks (-6.5) at Charlotte Hornets O/U 238.5 7:00 PM
There is nothing in the world I love more right now than betting the over in an Atlanta Hawks game. This Trae Young led team can score a lot of points on offense, but they have the highest opponent PPG in the NBA. Tonight, they get the team with the lowest PPG on offense in the Eastern Conference in the Charlotte Hornets.
I just wanna be frank about the Hornets; they suck and I don’t get it. Lamelo Ball is clearly their best player but he will be inactive tonight. They still suck even with Ball in the lineup. Regardless how much the Hornets do suck, I believe this over will still find a way to cover tonight in Charlotte.

Florida Panthers (-130) at Pittsburgh Penguins O/U 5.5 7:30 PM on TNT
Heartbreak has been the story of the Penguins season so far this year. Pens fans are coming more to the realization that the franchise’s window is closing or it has already closed. It is sad, but nothing can last forever.
Florida is looking to sweep the season series over the Penguins tonight. These two have played tooth and nail against each other but the Panthers have come out on top in both contests. It pains me to say it and breaks my heart, but I will be picking the Panthers tonight to finish off the season sweep of the Pens.
