Sunday has plenty of NFL games, but you also have a nice selection of other games that are ready to be played as well. With that being the case, I have found some best bets across the NFL, NHL, and NBA for Sunday 11/16/25. To catch even more of our best bets make sure you check out our best bets page.

My Best Bets

  • Predators vs Penguins - Under 6.5 (-125)
  • Clipper vs Celtics - Celtics -4.5 (-105)
  • Commanders vs Dolphins - Dolphins -2.5 (-120)

Predators vs Penguins

The Predators are traveling to Pittsburgh to face the Penguins, but the question is will the game be as close as what the last game was, a 2-1 win in overtime for the Predators. While, I do think the game will be close I am looking more at the under in this game here. The total is set at 6.5 and that is a little bit of a stretch I think after the earlier matchup for these two teams ended up with a final score of 2-1. Still, the other issue that I see for the total being threatened in this game is the fact that Nashville is getting only 2.53 goals a game and giving up 3.47 a game. The Penguins for their part are getting only 3.22 goals a game and are giving up 2.61 goals per game. Now for the Penguins they have only went over that total 2 times in the last 5 games, but the Predators have went over the total the same amount as well. Look for that to play an impact in this game here as I see the total going under 6.5 in this game. Check out the full Predators vs Penguins pick.

Celtics vs Clippers

The Clippers are facing the Celtics on the road in this game here and that does not bode well for the Clippers who are in the middle of a road trip. However, to help with the jet lag the Clippers had a stop in Dallas in a game that could be worse than jet lag with a double overtime win over the Mavericks by a score of 133-127. Boston for their part heads to this game here after getting a nice win over Memphis in which they won the game by 36 points. Now, the Boston team is coming in with 113 points a game scored and giving up only 108 points. The Clippers are getting 111 points a game, but are giving up 116 points a game. I look for the Celtics offense to take advantage of a Clippers team that is still bouncing back from their double overtime win and expense of the players. With those factors all considered I look for the Clippers to play good, but fatigued and that allows Boston to secure the win in this game here. Get the full Celtics vs Clippers pick.

Commanders vs Dolphins

The Commanders and the Dolphins are playing in Spain in this game here and that will definitely be a challenge for a variety of reasons. However, both of these teams are struggling on the season, but the Commanders have a major issue and that is the fact that their starting quarterback is listed as our in this game here. The Commanders offense already struggled on the season and with his loss the offense will fall on Croskey-Merritt who has only picked up 470 yards on 105 carries and 4 touchdowns. That is compared to the Dolphins team that has a fully tooled offensive unit with Tagovailoa with 1,952 yards and 17 touchdowns with 13 picks, but also Achane with 780 yards on 143 carries and 5 touchdowns. All of those factors combined make it easier for me to take the Dolphins to win and cover in this game here. Check out the full Dolphins vs Commanders pick.
