December isn’t just another month on the NBA calendar; it’s where the season finally starts to breathe. The rotations stabilize, teams shed their early rust, and the narratives begin to harden into something real. The Emirates NBA Cup is winding down, but the energy hasn’t dropped. Every night, new storylines ripple through the standings and the betting markets.

While they’re still mathematically alive for the Playoffs, the reality is that this team has underperformed all season long and need to focus on the development of McCarthy over all else. The Cowboys (6-6-1) are still alive in the Wild Card race and in their division as they sit only a few games back of the Philadelphi Eagles who they

Week 15 is loaded with some bigtime matchups that will shape the Playoff races in each conference. However, those games are tightly handicapped and could be risky when trying to build out a Week 15 NFL parlay card. Week 14 saw us go 2-2 with our NFL parlay picks as the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks made us look like winners, while the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears left us scratching our heads after they had a chance to win their respective games. After looking at the Week 15 slate of games, we have a handful of NFL picks to add to our parlay card. We’ve got a handful of matchups that feature two large lines, a close divisional
