Best bets for Thursday, Dec. 18

Both the Rams and Seahawks enter Thursday's game at 11-3, meaning the winner will take sole possession of first place in the NFC West and the conference as a whole. L.A. won the first meeting between these two teams 21-19 thanks in large part to Sam Darnold's four interceptions, though a last-second field goal attempt from Jason Myers fell short which could've won the game. Matthew Stafford has been favorite to win league MVP for a while now, and he'll try to add another signature performance to his resume in Week 16. This game also features two of the league's best receivers with Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba battling for the league lead in receiving yards. JSN has the edge but also has the advantage of playing an additional game. The Seahawks are 1.5-point favorites in the latest SportsLine consensus odds and the model has Seattle winning outright in 53% of simulations.

The SportsLine Projection Model has given an "A" grade for three NBA games on Thursday's slate. It likes the current NBA Cup champions New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers to go Over 225.5 (62.4% of simulations), the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks to go Over 220.5 (61.1% of simulations) and has the Phoenix Suns winning over the Golden State Warriors in 61% of simulations as +106 money line underdogs.
