As Super Bowl LX (60) nears, the NFL is on a short break before the season finale. While the time off is bit of a disappointment and shock to the system, it gives us a chance to focus on action elsewhere.

In the NBA, the Eastern Conference is anyone's to take with Detroit on top and the Celtics, Knicks, Raptors and Cavaliers fighting for playoff positioning. The West is led by the defending champion Thunder, chased by San Antonio and Denver. The NHL, meanwhile, makes one last push prior to the two-week break for the Winter Olympic Games.

Even without the NFL, there are many great betting opportunities on a daily basis, including Positive EV bets that can help you build your bankroll over time.
