Sports betting content sometimes gets a bit haywire and bogged down in "trends" and misleading information that has little impact on the outcome of the result.
However, it's hard not to fall in love with this social media clip that has gotten some serious run as the Los Angeles Lakers have taken a commanding 3-1 series lead on the Golden State Warriors.
In the clip below, @aircorg, a corgi named Lilo that makes predictions by hitting a ball into a can for each team, has predicted the 3-1 start for the Lakers.
The corgi predicted the Lakers winning Game 1, 3 and 4 while the Warriors took Game 2. The interesting part of this video is that Lilo has the Warriors storming back in this series to win in Game 7 at home, advancing to the Western Conference Finals.
Of course, this would be the inverse of what LeBron James did on the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals, one of the most epic series' in recent memory.
After taking a 3-1 series lead, James and the Lakers are overwhelming favorites to advance to the WCF, -500 ahead of Game 5, but Lilo's sterling record is on the line with the Warriors winning the next three.

Golden State led after three quarters in Game 4, but squandered the lead behind 15 fourth quarter points from Lonnie Walker IV, a possible series defining result. Can the Warriors bounce back at home in Game 5 on Wednesday night?
Oddsmakers favor the Dubs, even if it's tough to see the defending champs winning three in a row.
Here are the odds for Game 5:
