There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started!
Champions League Betting
Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund are set to face off for the first leg of their Champions League Round of Sixteen tie.
Sevilla vs. Borussia Dortmund Three Way Moneyline
- Sevilla +140
- Borussia Dortmund +195
- Draw +240
What is immediately apparent upon looking at the odds for this matchup is that the two teams involved are fairly evenly matched according to the sportsbooks. Neither team is an odds on favorite, with Sevilla clocking in with +140 odds and Dortmund behind them with +195 odds.
However, Sevilla is coming into this match on fire having outscored their opponents 18-1 in a nine-game winning streak. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, is coming in with a 4-3-2 record in their last nine games.
Sevilla vs. Borussia Dortmund No Draw Moneyline
- Sevilla -140
- Borussia Dortmund +105
On the no draw moneyline, Sevilla’s odds move to -140, while Dortmund’s move to +105.
When it comes to winning this match specifically, it seems that the sportsbooks favor Sevilla. However, Borussia Dortmund is favored to win the overall tie.
The Champions League Round of 16 is played in ties, meaning that each team hosts a game, and the scores of the two games are tallied up to determine who goes through to the next round.
Sevilla vs. Borussia Dortmund Odds To Qualify
- Sevilla +100
- Borussia Dortmund -120
Sevilla’s odds to qualify are even, despite them being favored in Wednesday’s matchup, while Dortmund, Wednesday’s underdogs, are actually favored to qualify for the next round.
This is especially intriguing in the context of domestic performance. Goals are used to determine the winner if each team wins a match in each leg. Sevilla is averaging two goals a game during their nine-game winning streak while Borussia Dortmund is coming off of a two-goal performance against Hoffenheim.
Soccer betting enthusiasts might want to keep an eye on the odds to qualify as they change during the match.
NBA Betting
The Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers are two of the most elite teams in the NBA, with the Jazz slightly on top in terms of record.
The Jazz are perhaps the season’s most surprising story from a betting perspective, with a spectacular 21-7 record against the spread demonstrating just how much they’re outperforming expectations this season.
The Clippers are flying a bit under the radar, but their 17-12 record against the spread demonstrates that they too have been performing above expectations.

Utah Jazz vs. LA Clippers Odds
- Utah Jazz -5.0 (-110)
- LA Clippers +5.0 (-110)
This line opened at around LA +3.5 at most sportsbooks, and has since moved to Utah favored by 5.0 points.
One reading of this line movement is that Utah has established themselves as a great team if NBA betting enthusiasts move their odds like this on the road against a team as good as the Clippers.
Another, perhaps more accurate reading of this line movement is that Paul George is out for this game with a toe injury, while Kawhi Leonard is day to day with a lower leg injury.
Without George, the Clippers might not have the talent to compete with the red hot Jazz, and without Leonard, they definitely won’t. This matchup is one that requires bettors to keep up with the injury report, as it seems to be balanced on a knife’s edge.
If Leonard ends up not playing, the odds could shift in Utah’s direction even further, as bettors react to the information.
NHL Betting
The NHL’s Central Division brings bettors a matchup between the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Red Wings are the worst team in the division by a fair bit, with a record of 4-10-3-0. The Blackhawks sit in the middle of the division, in fourth place, with an 8-5-2-2 record. However, on the road, the Blackhawks aren’t favored by very much over the woeful Red Wings.
Chicago Blackhawks vs. Detroit Red Wings Moneyline
- Chicago Blackhawks -135
- Detroit Red Wings +115
The Blackhawks are -135 despite winning twice as many games over the course of the season as the Red Wings. Chicago also enters this matchup on a bit of a streak, with a 5-1 record in their last six games overall, and having won seven of the last eight games they’ve played against the Red Wings specifically.
The Red Wings are also on a streak of sorts, with a 2-11 record in their last thirteen games overall.
Chicago Blackhawks vs. Detroit Red Wings O/U
- Over 5.5 Goals -110
- Under 5.5 Goals -110
The O/U line is set at 5.5 goals, but both teams have strong trends suggesting the Under as a viable NHL betting play.
The Under has hit in every single one of the last five road games the Blackhawks have played, and in four of their last five games overall. Meanwhile, in the Red Wings’ last five home games, the under has hit five times.
In the last five games between these two teams, the under has hit four times.
