01-02-18 | Butler +7 v. Xavier | 79-86 | Push | 0 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
The Bulldogs are off beating the No.1 ranked Villanova Wildcats 101-93 on Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse , and despite of being in an emotional letdown scenario, must not be underestimated as dogs in this spot. Meanwhile, Xavier despite of current 9 game win streak, have really had to work hard for wins in their three most recent tilts as hosts, The Musketeers had to exert a lot of energy in a 22-point comeback in a win vs East Tennessee State, and barely got by in a four-point win vs explosive Marshall, then on Saturday had to find a way back from 16 point deficit to beat DePaul in the Big East opener. Needless to say that both teams could be experiencing a drop off here based on their recent battles. QUOTE: "Over the past two weeks, I don't think we've played like a top-five team," Mack said about his Xavier program "I think we're capable of doing that. I hope we're a better version of ourselves tomorrow night against a really good Butler team." END QUOTE: |

Both these teams play top tier D, with Penn State allowing just 64.2 ppg, while Maryland is allowing 62.2 ppg on the season and just 58.7 ppg at home. More of same top tier defensive play I'm betting will be on display tonight and result in this tilt staying under the total. MARYLAND is 15-4 UNDER L/19 versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game after 15+games over the last few seasons and MARYLAND is 15-6 UNDER L/21 versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 37% or more of their attempts over the last few seasons and is 12-2 UNDER versus good offensive teams - scoring 77+ points/game after 15+ games.PENN ST is 26-6 UNDER L/16 after a game where they made 50% of their 3 point shots or better which happened last time out.MARYLAND is 8-1 UNDER L/9 in home games off a home win.

01-01-18 | Alabama v. Clemson OVER 47 | 24-6 | Loss | -105 | 79 h 0 m | Show | |
Both these teams own amazing defenses, but I'm betting on both sides pushing each other, in back forth fashion, and for this game to eventually go over the total. Clemson has recently shown some offensive explosiveness, scoring 38,31, 61, 34, and 38 points in their L/5 respectively , and will do more damage than most projections this week, against what is still a banged up Alabama defense full of 5 star waling wounded. I really feel the Tide, will have to go out of their comfort zone here and open up the playbook in shocking fashion. Over is 5-0 in Crimson Tide last 5 games in January.Over is 10-3 in Crimson Tide last 13 bowl games.Over is 4-0 in Tigers last 4 games in January.

Los Angeles is off a grueling , double-overtime loss (142-148) in Houston on Sunday that lasted nearly three hours and saw starters Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Tyler Ennis play over 40 minutes apiece. Already short-handed due to the injuries of Brook Lopez (sprained right ankle) and rookie Lonzo Ball (sprained left shoulder), and now exhausted the Lakers are susceptible to getting run over as this tilt progresses. Meanwhile, Minnesota had a much easier time of it , in a 107-90 victory at Indiana on Sunday and will be more than ready to run and gun again here at home as they go for their 7th win in 10 games.

The 76ers went into Denver last night and took out the Nuggets by a 107-102 count, and now with momentum on their sides I expect them to come out and take out the Phoenix Suns this Sunday night. I know the Suns have played decent hoops of late winning 5 of their L/7 and two good back to back games, but from a player vs player and system vs system perspective the Sixers in their current form matchup very well against them despite of losing the first meeting in this series this season back in December . With that that said, their is added incentive for the Sixers as they look to avenge that above mentioned embarrassing 115-101 loss in Philadelphia on Dec. 4, 76ers are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 vs. NBA Pacific.76ers are 43-19-1 ATS in their last 63 vs. Western Conference.Favorite is 22-7 ATS in the last 29 meetings.

12-31-17 | 76ers v. Suns UNDER 221 | 123-110 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
My own projections make this Total closer to 216 to 217, thus giving us value on a UNDER wager in this pot play between the Suns and 76ers. HC Triano of the Suns has turned his team around and are playing better ball of late, thanks to increased concentration on playing solid defensive ball. Tonight against a sometimes explosive 76ers group you bet this coach has a game plan that is centered on playing a slower brand of basketball. This I'm betting will directly effect the Total combined score of this tilt to the low side of the number. Note: Suns have failed to breach the 100 point plateau in 4 of their L/6 and 5 of their L/7 have remained on the low side the Total. Under is 7-0 in Suns last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.Under is 10-4 in Suns last 14 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Both these teams can light the board up in a hurry, but Arkansas State is a viable defensive team as well, and have held 3 of their L/4 opponents to under 68 points or less. LA Lafayette is the more aggressive run and gun style team, and I'm expecting the home side to want to slow them down a bit here, which reflect in a more muted offensive output than the linesmakers expect , in a game that I am betting remains on the low side of the number.

CAPITAL ONE ORANGE BOWL - Hard Rock Stadium - Miami, FL Miami fl after a strong season finished off their campaign with a couple of down performances vs Pittsburgh followed by a ACC Championship loss vs defending national champion Clemson . This was a Miami Fl side that was talked about as a national contender and missed the play offs by one game. Remember the Canes were also undefeated before those two above mentioned losses and in no way should be disrespected here vs Wisconsin. Miami I'm betting will do just fine vs a Badgers side that despite of being a defensive juggernaut have problems vs top tier secondary's ranking 112 in intercepted passes .

The Pistons according to my cross reference system/player rankings is a team that matches up well vs the Spurs. It's not about which side is superior, but about a head to head matchup analysis that suggests that this Motown group are viable home underdogs. The Spurs rank 6th in SRS 3.02 and the Pistons rank 12th with a 0.77 SRS. The Pistons offense is ranked 22nd while the Spurs offense ranks 24th overall in the league. Both sides own viable defenses with the San Antonio ranking first and Detroit in 7th spot. From a aggregate point of view the line is slightly bloated according to my own systems, and with that said I'm recommending we take the points here with the Pistons. ( Detroit is 11-5 SU at home this season) Note: Detroit was upset last time out vs the Orlando Magic , as 4 point favs,(102-89) which is a good omen considering Detroit's ability in the past to bounce back as is evident by their 10-1 ATS record L/11 opportunities in home games off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite .

12-29-17 | Clippers -2.5 v. Lakers | 121-106 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Five-time All Star forward Blake Griffin will be a game-time decision when the Los Angeles Clippers play the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on Friday, but play or not I'm betting on the Clippers still having the edge in their current form, failing to cover just twice in their L/10 games. Meanwhile, the Lakers 3-12 L/15 SU continue to play without two key contributors Lonzo Ball and Brooks Lopez which will hinder their cohesiveness again in this spot. Also Kuzma the Lakers leading scorer is listed as questionable for Friday's game because of a quad injury and if he plays could see limited minutes. With that said, I'm recommending we lay the short lumber and back the Clippers to cover . Clippers are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. The Clippers have won 20 of their past 22 games against the Lakers dating to the start of the 2012-13 season and get the nod again here in a neutral court environment.

GOALTENDERS: TORONTO - CURTIS MCELHINNEY, COLORADO - SEMYON VARLAMOV The Maple Leafs are coming off a 7-4 win over the Coyotes on Thursday night, and they got in late and will now be on tired legs and will may find themselves tiring as this tilt progresses which usually results in sloppy defensive play, and a lazy wide open style of hockey. On the flipside, The Avalanche will have a lot of difficulties trying to stop young star Austin Matthews and the Toronto offense that is explosive , especially with one of their top defensemen, Tyson Barrie out with an injury. Everything points in the direction of a fairly high scoring game that eclipse's the Total.

Meanwhile, Iowa State is in top form having won 9 straight games overall and are 9-3-1 ATS L/12 home games dating back to last season and have covered 4 straight in this series vs visiting KState. I'm betting on home floor advantage to be key behind a Iowa State cover here tonight.

This Wizards continued their trend of inconsistent hoops this week beating Boston in a motivated effort and than laid an egg against the lowly Atlanta Hawks in their next game. Meanwhile, Houston has lost 4 in a row, in part due to injuries. But the other night they played at a high level leading Boston by as much as 26 points before folding and losing by 1 point. This Rockets team despite of being short handed is very deep and more than capable of taking out the Wizards here behind an offense averaging 114.6 points per game, which ranks second in the NBA. The Rockets swept the two-game series from the Wizards last season, including a 114-106 win in Washington on Nov. 7 and I'm expecting a rinse and repeat situation. Rockets are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Rockets are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Southeast.Rockets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games.

NOVA HOME LOANS ARIZONA BOWL - Arizona Stadium - Tucson, AZ
This game takes place just 275 miles away from the New Mexico State campus and should be almost like a home game for them. This will also be New Mexico States first Bowl game in 56 years. New Mexico State athletic director Mario Moccia, an alumnus of the Las Cruces, N.M., school, broke down in tears when accepting the Arizona Bowl invitation. So needless to say you can see how important this tilt is to this school and the kids in uniform here today. New Mexico State has one of the most explosive passing games in the nation, ranking fourth at 352.6 yards per game. Senior B Tyler Rogers, has passed for 3,825 yards with 26 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Utah State is among the country' s best at stopping the pass, allowing just 181.8 yards per game, which ranks 17th. But the difference maker will come today via New Mexico States ability to get yards on the ground, and control time of possession. Utah state is ranked 125 in the nation vs the run, and 116th with time of possession. ( Utah Stare allowed an average of 280 yards per game to run attacks ( 5 ypc). UTAH ST is 2-11 ATS L/13 after 2 consecutive games where they forced 1 or less turnovers and 4-14 ATS L/18 in the second half of the season over the last few seasons. In College football Bowl games, backing a team with motivation is extremely important .

This Spurs group despite of playing a defense first brand of hoops, is now explosive and ready to run, and will be motivated to get into an offensive rhythm as a team.

The Milwaukee Bucks are an extremely talented team, that does not always play inspired ball, which results in their inconsistencies. The truth is that the Bucks when motivated can beat any team in this league, but on many occasions just come out in play flat uninspired hoops. With losses in five of their last seven games, the Bucks should be up for this tilt against a Minnesota Timberwolves team that is streaking and have won five games in a row, including a 128-125 overtime victory over Denver Wednesday night. Last nights game was grueling for the Wolves, and should see them on tired legs tonight. The Bucks in their current from need every edge they can get , and with this being at home where they usually play well they get the nod as short home favorites. (Bucks are 11-6 SU at home this season) Milwaukee has won five of the last six meetings in the series, including three in a row at the Bradley Center and the favorite is 5-1 ATS L/6 meetings. .Timberwolves are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Central.Bucks are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Two teams struggling to get wins on the board go head to head tonight as the Grizzlies visit the Lakers in the Staples Center. The veteran laden Grizzlies are struggling much more than even I anticipated would be the case without injured floor general Conley out of the lineup, while the young Lakers show considerable inconsistencies. With that said, I'm always trying to find cracks in the current narratives associated with sports matchups that give me an edge against a line . From a matchup perspective the Grizzlies veterans are proven commodities in this league ie Gasol , Evans and matchup well against Lakers mostly inexperienced and unproven group that is also banged up with Lonzo Ball (shoulder) and Brookes Lopez expected to miss with an ankle injury. With that said, I'm betting we have value taking the Grizzlies. LA LAKERS are 7-22 ATS L/29 after playing 2 consecutive home games .Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. NBA Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (MEMPHIS) - after failing to cover 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread, well rested team - playing 6 or less games in 14 days are 69-34 ATS L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

GOALTENDERS: OTTAWA - CRAIG ANDERSON, BOSTON - TUUKKA RASK Entering the Christmas break both these teams were on different trajectories , Boston moving upward and Ottawa moving in a negative direction. But this long a holiday break many times can break a teams momentum , and create a different energy flow going forward. The Bruins had won 5 in a row, after playing average at best hockey in the beginning of the season, while Ottawa has lost three in a row, but played well enough to win in its last two games.... a heart breaking shootout loss at league-best Tampa Bay and a 1-0 setback at Florida. With that said, and from a matchup perspective, based on my own power rankings, the Sens are viable underdogs spot and matchup well vs the Bruins and deserve an investment outlay as part of a long term strategy for pro hockey profits. It's never easy pulling the trigger on these types of perceived mismatches, but in todays NHL, parity is at a all time high and according to my pre season head to head and talent matchup analysis were the better team going into this campaign.

12-26-17 | Northern Illinois v. Duke -5.5 | 14-36 | Win | 100 | 53 h 6 m | Show | |
QUICK LANE BOWL - Ford Field - Detroit, MI A lot has been made about how Northern Illinois beat Nebraska earlier this season, but the truth is the Corn huskers were not that good . Also a lot of pundits also seem to like to point out how well this blue collar Huskies program , has played on the road over the years winning 37 of 51 games, but fail to point out that NIU are 2-10 ATS L/12 as a neutral field underdog, and how they have crashed and burned in 4 straight Bowl outings, and last year look like they made a ghost appearance by not showing up in a 55-7 blasting at the hands of Boise State. Now they go against a viable ACC team, that have a huge front 7 that can slow down a average Huskies offensive attack. Also from a turnover perspective it must be noted that NIU were on the negative end of the turnover battle in 6 of their L/9 games, which is not a good omen vs a Duke team that protects the ball well, and better at forcing turnovers. I know 9 of the 10 Quick Lane games have been decided by TD points or less and this one might end up like that to , but it will be Duke that gets the cover as my number makes them 6.5 to 7 point chalk thus giving us value on this line. DUKE is 21-8 ATS L/29 in games played on turf and their current HC Cutcliffe is 15-3 ATS in games played on turf with the average margin of victory coming by 6.6 points per game.

12-25-17 | Wizards v. Celtics -4 | 111-103 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
Two teams that don't really like each other, go head to head to day in Boston on Christmas day, in a place where the Celtics have won and covered 9 straight in this series. I know the Celtics are a much different team than last season splay offs when the teams last met , with the roster having under gone changes, but I'm sure the animosity remains. From a matchup perspective the intangibles remain much the same and now according to my own power rankings the Celtics are even better now as a group, and here once again and on home court the men from Beantown have an edge. WASHINGTON is 4-14 ATS L/18 in road games against Atlantic division opponents .BOSTON is 14-5 ATS L/19 when the total is 200 to 209.5 this season. NBA Underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (WASHINGTON) - off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival against opponent off a home blowout win by 20 points or more are 9-34 ATS L/21 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 795 for bettors.

12-25-17 | Steelers v. Texans UNDER 45 | 34-6 | Win | 100 | 95 h 20 m | Show | |
The Steelers enter this game off a heart breaking loss to New England this past Sunday, and have now just completed three straight grueling games, vs Cincinnati and Baltimore and as mentioned above the Patriots last week. I really can't see them having a lot left in the tank and expect a subdued conservative effort from them this week offensively vs a Texas team that they have had a recent history of low scoring affairs against in Houston with a combined average of 30.5 ppg getting scored . With the Texans struggling to score with outputs of 16,13,16,7 points respectively in their L/4 games, I'm betting their futility remains intact against one of the leagues better defenses. On the season, the Steelers have yet to eclipse the number in away games during this campaign with a combined average of 36.6 ppg going on the board. Also 9 or more point road favs have seen their games stay under in 16 of the L/17 tilts if the Total is 37 or more . PITTSBURGH is 11-1 UNDER L/12 versus struggling defensive teams - allowing 350 yards/game or more with a combined average of 40.5 ppg scored. PITTSBURGH is 11-2 UNDER as a road favorite over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 39.9 ppg scored. HOUSTON is 8-1 UNDER vs. good passing teams averaging 7 or more passing yards/att. in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average 33.9 ppg scored. NFL Road teams against the total (PITTSBURGH) - after having won 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games, a top-level team (75% or better) playing a team with a losing record are 26-5 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 84% conversion rate for Totals bettors.

The defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors host the Cleveland Cavaliers in a big time Christmas day matchup. I'm sure LeBron James and company will be out looking for redemption here today, after last season beat down in the Finals, and Golden State will also be out to make sure the status quo remains in play. From my own perspective and matchup/system/players comparisons the Warriors are the superior side with or without Curry in the lineup. Both these teams have explosive offenses , but what sets these teams apart is Golden States ability to play solid defense , behind the 3rd ranked Defensive efficiency ranking in the league something it seems Cleveland has a problem with as is evident by a 26th ranked defensive efficiency rating. From a SRS perspective the Cavs are ranked 6th in the league with a 2.44 and Golden State ranks 2nd with a 9.48 SRS for a +7 aggregate score making them solid home favorites according to these numbers. Note: Simple Rating System; a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average.

With Houston losing Tom Herman to Texas this past season, they were not as dangerous, with a 100 yard difference on defense. The Cougars are weak favorites here vs a side that my own rankings suggest is the superior side. FRESNO ST is 8-0 ATS L/8 when playing against a team with a winning record.

Note: Garoppolo is completing 68.7 percent of his passes for 1,026 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions for a passer rating of 98.0.Today against a Jacksonville, team feeling relaxed after clinching a play off spot , I'm betting the Niners shine again, and get us a cover. NFL Road teams (JACKSONVILLE) - after covering the spread in 5 or 6 out of their last 7 games, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a team with a losing record are a long term losing proposition going just 43-79 ATS L/34 seasons for a go against 65% conversion rate on the blind.

Now rested and their PTSD, on the wain I expect they will give their home town fans and management some satisfaction with a strong effort in their last game at home this season ( HC Lewis is a perfect 5-0 SU L/5 last home games of the season) I know the men from Motown, are winning of late , but its not like their consistent team . With that said, I'm recommending we take the host side and the points. DETROIT is 9-25 ATS L/34as a road favorite of 7 points or less and is 9-27 ATS L/36 in road games after 2 or more consecutive wins NFL team (CINCINNATI) - after scoring 9 points or less in 2 straight games are 39-12 ATS L/10 seasons for a 77% conversion rate for bettors.

It must be noted that KC is 0-9 ATS L/9 as hosts off a division home victory and off consecutive wins. KANSAS CITY is 0-11 ATS L/11 after gaining 375 or more total yards in 3 consecutive games since 1992.

Now they go head to head with the Bucks again Saturday night in Charlotte at a disadvantage.The Hornets also expected to be without Treveon Graham for a fourth straight game because of back spasms. From a matchup perspective the Hornets even at full strength are at a matchup disadvantage, and do not matchup well vs Milwaukee's three-headed monster of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe who combined for 78 points and had 22 of the Bucks' 26 fourth quarter points last night. With that said, I'm looking only one way at this tilt , and that directly at the Bucks. CHARLOTTE is 7-15 ATS revenging a loss vs opponent this season.

These teams battled it out last season in bowl competition, with App State taking a 31-28 thriller. now in the rematch I'm expecting another close confrontation. The matchup showcases a explosive Toledo offense, and a team that went 11-2 on the season. Meanwhile, Appalachian State lost four games this season, but three of its four defeats in 2017 came by seven points or less, including a one-point defeat to what has suddenly become a potent Wake Forest side. The only other loss for the Mountaineers was a 31-10 loss at Georgia in the opener , which is a play off team for a national championship. Tonight I expect App State to counter Toledos big time attack, by pounding the ball on the ground and controlling time of possession. The Mountaineers averaged around 31 minutes in time of possession this year and will be the catalyst for them getting us the cover here tonight.

LOCKHEED MARTIN ARMED FORCES BOWL - Amon G. Carter Stadium - Fort Worth, TX These two solid rushing teams and defenses will go head today in a game that I'm betting will be fairly low scoring and tightly contested. Army has dealt well with ground heavy attacks this season, beating both Air force and Navy, and facing RB Rashaad Penny and company will not be a difficult for them. Meanwhile, look for Army's multi faceted rushing offense, that averaged 335 ypg, to do more than enough damage to keep them competitive and possibly pull off the upset. It must be noted that Military bowl teams are 22-4 ATS L/26 vs .600 or better opposition. This is Army's seventh all-time bowl appearance. Army is 4-2 in previous post season games, and those six appearances have been decided by a total of 19 points and all by a touchdown or less and I'm expecting a rinse and repeat situation here in this game.

The Lakers have scored 100 or more points in 15 of their L/16 games and have allowed more than 100 points in 13 of those wide open tilts behind a break neck pace ranked No.1 in the NBA ( 102.3). Now their run and gun attack will take aim the defending champion Golden State Warriors. Not trying to slow the game down and coming right after Houston last time out paid big dividends for the Lakers and tonight, I'm betting they enter this game ready to run the floor again in fearless fashion which will help aid this game going over the set total. I know Golden State is banged up, but their is more than enough talent here to keep pace and light up the board in response to the Lakers diverse and explosive attack. The Warriors rank first in the league in offense (116.3 ppg) and own the 5th ranked pace in the league ( 100.3) . (Draymond Green is expected to play tonight)

I know Atlanta does not inspire bettors but their getting better as a group and still quantifiable DD underdogs, behind their two top scorers - Dennis Schroder and Taurean Prince. The Hawks dropped from third in the NBA in 3-point shooting to eighth after making only 8-of-29 attempts Wednesday, but their always a viable backdoor cover side because of their downtown abilities.

12-21-17 | Cal-Irvine v. Idaho -6 | 67-59 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
This has been a difficult rebuilding season for UC Irvine and they are currently on a 5 game losing streak playing their 5th straight game away from home, so needless to say this team is exhausted physically and emotionally drained to say the least. Now they must face a Idaho team playing in their own back yard, that has won 8 of their L/10 games, (with both losses coming vs CS Bakersfield). My own line suggests that a 7.5 point chalk line should more appropriate, and a outliner via my own power rankings that estimates a win by as much as 12 points for Idaho has me firmly backing them in this spot. UC-IRVINE is 9-20 ATS L/29 in road games when playing against a team with a winning record and is 0-6 ATS in road games versus excellent teams - shooting 45% or better with a defense of 42% or less and is 3-11 ATS L/14 versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game. CBB favorite (IDAHO) - off an upset win by 15 points or more as a road underdog against opponent off 2 or more consecutive road losses are 46-19 ATS L/21 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors.

12-21-17 | Grizzlies -2 v. Suns | 95-97 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
The Memphis Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns are two teams struggling to get wins. Both are without key players as Mike Conley the Grizzlies floor general continues to rehab an injury and the Suns Devin Booker their leading scorer is also not expected back for a few more games. From a talent perspective the Grizzlies have the edge to find a way to win tonight, despite of the Suns holding home court advantage. However, according to my own matchup systems power rankings Memphis has the edge and is the less of two evils here in this spot play. Note: Memphis SRS is -2.43 (ranked 23rd) while Phoenix SRS is -7.58 ranked 29th in the league. Simple Rating System; a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average.

Florida International is a team that currently ranks/ rates fairly high on my own power ranking charts for smaller conference football programs. Meanwhile, Temple in my humble opinion gets way to much respect based on past seasons, under a different head coach. This season , the Owls have shown flashes of their previous brilliant efforts dating back a couple of seasons, but make no mistake that this team is no longer as good as the linesmakers and many pundits might have you believe. Fl Inters HC Davis, who also had head coaching stints at North Carolina and the Cleveland Browns in addition to his time at Miami, has a veteran at quarterback in senior Alex McGough, whom he calls "one of the best quarterbacks that I've been around at all levels of coaching." |

Chicago enters this game with offensive flow having eclipsed the 100 point plateau in 7 straight games but have allowed more than 100 points in 15 of their L/18 overall. Now on tired legs after last nights rare strong defensive effort vs Orlando I'm betting they revert back to the norm and allow the explosive Cleveland Cavaliers to light them up for a boat load full of points tonight. Meanwhile, Cleveland has scored an average of over 111 ppg this season, ranking 4th in offense in the league, which includes a porous D, that has allowed 107.4 ppg ranked 23rd worst in the league. Tonight I'm betting on a fairly high scoring affair that eclipses this beat Total. CLEVELAND in 16 games when playing against a team with a losing record this season have seen a combined average of 221.1 ppg go on the board. CLEVELAND is 15-4 OVER in home games after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread with a combined average of 227.1 ppg go on the scoreboard.

12-21-17 | Blue Jackets v. Penguins OVER 5.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
The Blue Jackets and their hosts the defending Stanley cup Champion Penguins are two teams struggling to stay consistent at the moment. Columbus did get a win Wednesday night with a 4-2 win over Toronto but that followed a ugly stretch of three losses in four games when they allowed a total of 20 goals. Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to start against the Penguins. Backup Joonas Korpisalo started against Toronto last time out after Bobrovsky started eight games in a row. Bobrovsky was 3-5-0 in those starts, with a 3.81 goals-against average and a .878 save percentage and I wont be surprised is he gets gauged again by Pens offense that is led by super star Sid Crosby. My own estimates/projections suggest a Pens win by 4-3 or4-2 count which makes a OVER wager a viable wagering opportunity. COLUMBUS is 5-0 OVER L/5 in road games against excellent power play teams - scoring on > 19% of their chances this season with a combined average of 8.2 gpg scored. PITTSBURGH is 7-0 OVER against poor power play teams - scoring on 14.5% or less of their chances with a combined average of 7.5 gpg scored.

The Chicago Bulls enter this game against Orlando , with the 28th ranked offense, and the 13th ranked pace. The Bulls have scored more consistently of late, but I'm betting they will revert to the mean eventually and more importantly tonight , because of key system discrepancies which I have pinpointed from a matchup system I have formulated . Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic, own the 13th ranked offense and 7 th ranked pace. The Magic have also failed to eclipse the 95 point plateau on offense in 4 of their L/7, and are struggling to stay offensively consistent and I'm betting their production problems will persist in this spot.

The Pacers enter this game in a foul mood after coming off a heart breaking 112-111 last-second loss to the Boston Celtics . Showing their ability to play together , however , is what caught my attention from that game. The Pacers were being thumped by the Celtics for most of the game , but little by little inched their way back showing me this teams tenacity. Now with redemption at hand and a chip on their shoulders, I'm betting they come here with all guns firing. That not a good omen for a Atlanta team, despite of ending a 5 game losing streak last time out, has still struggled most of this season, in what many consider a rebuilding year for the franchise. Add to that ,Atlanta is banged up and are without forward Mike Muscala (left ankle) and center Dewayne Dedmon (left tibia) and also have some walking wounded as well as forward Luke Babbitt, and rookie center John Collins are gradually moving back into the rotation after missing six games with a sprained left AC joint. I'm really expecting Indiana to romp tonight and recommending we lay the lumber with the road favorite. Pacers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 vs. NBA Southeast.Pacers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.Pacers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.
