I think NBA is easiest. Hockey might be the hardest. Many games come down to the empty net goal covering the 1 1/2. A lot of random s*** happens in a hockey game too. Agree that there isn't much value in the NFL or March Madness.

nba--never know when guys will take night off and games tend to have a fixed feeling to them, as 20 point comebacks are seemingly more common than not.
