Get ready for another MASSIVE weekend of NFL football and of course a lot of the sports betting is steered towards the battle of the pigskin. Let’s not forget about the world class tennis that’s being played down under in the Australian Open.
We have reached the semi-finals in both sports so this week I have looked at the opportunities that’s available in those events.
Let’s go!
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens dominated the Texans last week
1) NFL Conference Championships
We are only one step away from Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on February 11th. I can only imagine the festivities Sin City is planning to throw that weekend BUT before it’s time for Las Vegas to show what it does best, there are two more games to be played.
Everybody who needed to step up last week did so, which is why we have these four remaining teams: Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers and the Lions.
Patrick Mahomes looked sharp against the Bills
Can the Chiefs Come Through Again?
All remaining teams are playing great right now which makes this weekend’s pick really tough. The Ravens might be the best of them all but Mahomes and the Chiefs looked like their own selves last week. The 49ers have dominated the NFC all season long but they clearly have something special brewing in Detroit.
Because they are both such big games, I opted for a few different bets as well and not just the winner. Whether you prefer separate bets or turn them all into a nice, big parlay is up to you.
All the odds for the NFL are from Stake.

Watch Out For a Lions Upset
I agree with the fact that the 49ers are the favorite against the Lions at home and will probably be able to pull it off. However, the odds of a Lions victory is too good not to put some money on because it’s going to be a close game and Detroit definitely has a shot at an upset.
Novak Djokovic is looking for another title
2) Australian Open Final Weekend
The first Grand Slam tournament of the year is always the Australian Open and we’ve reached the finals weekend. The two semi-finals are coming up and I’ve looked at the odds and who I believe will make it through to the final on Sunday.
You can find the following odds at Sportsbet.io
Australian Open Semi-Finals
Djokovic Will Deliver Once Again
This will be the 7th time that Djokovic and Sinner will face each other. So far Djokovic has a winning record of 4-2 but keep in mind that they’ve never played on hard court.
So far in the tournament, Djokovic has dropped 3 sets while Sinner hasn’t lost a single one. Djokovic is sitting at the top of the rankings for a reason and I do believe Novak will show up and get the win.
Alexander Zverev beat Alcaraz
Zverev to the Finals
Medvedev and Zverev have faced each other a lot more and this will actually be the 19th time they play. Medvedev has been the better player so far and has a 11-7 record against his semi-final opponent and as far as hard court goes, they are 4-4.
Zverev however did knock out Alcaraz in the last match, which must have given him extra confidence going into the semis. Will it be enough to beat the number 3 ranked Medvedev?
When was the last time we saw two giants (both being 198cm tall) in the semi-finals? It’s going to be a close game but I think the Alcaraz win helps Zverev being the one going through to the finals.
Fun fact. I actually changed my pick from Medvedev to Zverev as I was writing this.
