---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
12-10-17 | Celtics v. Pistons +2 | 91-81 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams coming off tough games, as Boston was in San Antonio Friday and Detroit hosted Golden State. The Celtics own the best spread record in the league, although they’ve cooled to 4-4 vs. the number in the last few weeks. Detroit has been reliable at home this season, settling in nicely at the Pistons’ brand-new Little Caesars Arena. Detroit put one of the blemishes on the Celtic record two weeks ago in Boston when Detroit F Tobias Harris made 11 of 16 shots and led all scorers with 31, while C Andre Drummond had 26 points. & 22 rebounds the 118-108 upset win. With Boston starters Jaylen Brown (eye) and PF Marcus Morris (soreness) not 100%, gladly side with home team. |

12-10-17 | Vikings -2.5 v. Panthers | 24-31 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These 2 might end up playing each other in January. This is the last of a brutal 3-game road trip for Minnesota, who just keep on winning, with their current SU run now at 8-0, with accompanying 7-1 ATS mark (only miss by ½ pt). Keenum in off yet another fine performance: 25-of-30, in throttling of the Falcons, allowing no touchdowns. Panthers covered their last home game by 16 points, but note the visitor is on an 11-4 ATS run in Carolina games |
|||||||
12-10-17 | Packers -3 v. Browns | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 26 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating; 2 Units Another one of those "old school" classic NFL match ups: Brown, Hornung, Lombardi, etc. Well, you might know. Just 10 points for the Browns at the Chargers, but still managed to cover (to our dismay) a 2-touchdown spot vs a team which had scored 82 points in its previous 2 outings. Two more turnovers, so Cleveland leads the NFL (-19) in the all-important category. |
|||||||
12-10-17 | Cowboys v. Giants +4 | 30-10 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating; 2 Units Hard to believe that this one may end up being meaningless in the NFC playoff race (notice time change). Will Eli get the start, after seeing his streak of 210 games end last week, to Geno Smith, of all people. Cowboys got their first win without Zeke on Thursday night behind Morris' 127 RYs, & Dak got his first TD pass since Nov 5th, but still just 102 passing yards. And Dez broke Bob Hayes' club record for TD grabs (74). Dallas is 3-11 ATS as a division road favorite off a double digit SU win, vs an opponent off a SU setback |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Hurricanes v. Kings -135 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Brown told reporters that the team learned a great deal from their recent four-game losing skid, and now they are schooling the competition. Winners of a season-high seven in a row, the Kings look to complete a perfect three-game home stand today when they host the Carolina Hurricanes. While Los Angeles is relishing winning, Carolina has headed in the other direction with losses in six of its last eight contests overall and four straight on the road, including the first two of its season-high six-game trek. |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Rockets -9.5 v. Blazers | 124-117 | Loss | -114 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston finished 12-1 in November, partially fueled by return to action of PG Chris Paul. The Rockets were 8-0 SU and 6-2 vs. the number when Paul had played prior to visiting Utah on Thursday. Blazers have been headed in a downward spiral since making a quick start, logging a 5-14-1 spread mark in its last 20 games. Rocket leader G James Harden and HC Mike D’Antoni want to “make hay while the sun shines” and extend its lead over Golden State while Steph Curry is sidelined |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Senators v. Sharks -160 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Last season's trip to the Eastern Conference finals seems to be a lifetime ago for the Ottawa Senators, who are in the throes of a horrid slump that has them careening down the standings. Losers of three in a row and 10 of their last 11 (1-9-1), Ottawa continues a season-long seven-game road trip at the San Jose Sharks tonight. |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Washington State -1 v. UTEP | 69-76 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Forward Robert Franks was the lone Cougars player to score in double figures (16 points) against Idaho, and he’s pacing the squad at 19.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Sophomore guard Malachi Flynn (16.8 points) is the only player averaging double figures, but he’s totaled 28 points over the last two contests while losing eight turnovers and committing five fouls. Overall, the Cougars are in need of some better starts as they fell behind Idaho 22-6 scarcely five minutes into Wednesday’s game and have trailed by 17 and 19 at the half, respectively, in their last two contests. The Miners dropped six straight after a season-opening win and along the way lost six-year veteran coach Tim Floyd, who abruptly announced his retirement Nov. 27 following a 66-52 defeat to Lamar. |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Avalanche v. Panthers -137 | 7-3 | Loss | -137 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Panthers have recorded 12 goals while registering at least a point in three straight games (1-0-2) and will look to take advantage of the struggling Avalanche, who have dropped four straight to start December after a 5-2 loss at Tampa Bay on Thursday. Captain Gabriel Landeskog returned after a four-game suspension for an illegal hit and scored a goal, but Colorado allowed the final three tallies of the contest. The Panthers won both meetings last season, outscoring the Avalanche 8-3 in the process with only one point from Barkov. |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Marshall v. Toledo -5.5 | 93-87 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Marshall continues to show little interest in getting stops away from home, evidenced by its 114-104 setback at rebuilding Colonial rep William & Mary, its last away game on Nov. 29. Hence, eager to lay several hoops with uptempo UT, which drills 10.1 triples pg @ nearly 39%. Rockets’ hard-to-guard 6-7 wing Tre’Shaun Fletcher (18 ppg; team high 35 assists) has quickly found a home after transferring from Colorado, while improved 6-11 soph C Luke Knapke (12 ppg, 6 rpg; 16 blocks) will continue to be a force in the paint area vs. the Herds’ shorter, nondescript forecourt. Payback works for Rockets, who hit only 16 of 29 foul shots in LY’s aggravating 111-105 OT loss in Huntington. |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Heat v. Nets +2 | 101-89 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brooklyn probably more acclimated to the altitude in Mexico City than Miami after playing here on Thursday and seeing the sights yesterday. However, the Heat are stepping down in class after being beaten by Golden State and San Antonio in last two games. Miami has won 12 of the last 13 against the Nets, covering 10 of the last 11, but altitude might slow Heat in 2nd half, and C Hassan Whiteside didn’t make this road trip. Brooklyn has been on a roll of late, covering 8 of its last 9 overall and 8 of L9 away from home prior to facing Oklahoma City here Thursday. Addition of C Jahlil Okafor can’t hurt the Nets. |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Wizards -2.5 v. Clippers | 112-113 | Loss | -112 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After starting the season 4-0, a series of injuries pushed Los Angeles into a 4-15 nosedive. Washington took a serious injury of its own, losing PG John Wall for an indefinite period with a knee injury, but the Wizards have won 3 of last 5 (4-1 vs. the points) and G Tomas Satoransky has contributed double figures in his share of Wall’s minutes, and is shooting 57% in the last 5 games prior to visiting Phoenix (50% beyond the arc). Conversely, when the Clips lost PF Blake Griffin, the bottom fell out and they’ve lost all four (1-3 vs. the number) since. If Wizards can win in Portland and Minnesota in the last week, they can put a torpedo in the listing Clipper ship |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Army +3 v. Navy | 14-13 | Win | 100 | 27 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As we have noted these past recent years, moving this classic meeting to this date, has been a stroke of genius, thereby according these combatants the proper respect & attention that they so richly deserve, especially after being pretty much ignored, as just another contest on the weekly slate. The Middies owned the Cadets, with their last loss in this rivalry coming on Dec 1, 2001. But Army snapped that 14-game losing skein to Navy, with LY's dominating 21-17 win, as 5½ pt dogs. Right, "dominating" may not seem the proper descriptive of a 4-pt edge, but check Knights' 316-112 RY edge, as well as a 40:32-19:28 time edge. This year, they rank 1st & 2nd in the land in rushing offense. Against AF, Army won 21-0, with a 392-95 RY edge, while Navy won 48-45, with a 471-340 RY edge. Army is 5-1 ATS vs Mids of late |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Western Michigan -5.5 v. Detroit | 87-79 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit, which has only managed to defeat talent-thin Div.II programs thus far, is still in a sieve on the stop end, permitting a whopping 92.1 ppg (349th). So, willing to lay a short price with veteran WMU, making the relatively short 140-mile bus ride to the Motor City. Broncos’ explosive, sharp-shooting 6-3 sr. G Thomas Wilder (19.2 ppg; 48% from deep) should go wild, while springy 6-5 sr. G Josh Davis (9 ppg; team high 49 rebounds) gets plenty of put-back opportunities vs. poor-boarding Titans, ranked a wretched 328th in rebound margin (-6.2 rpg). |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Blues -145 v. Red Wings | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brayden Schenn has been hot and cold since the start of November, and the 26-year-old appears to be heating up again. Schenn has scored four goals in the last two contests for the St. Louis Blues, who bid to extend their winning streak to three games this afternoon against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena. Schenn recorded four-point performances to bookend an eight-game point streak before failing to dent the scoresheet in five straight contests prior to extending his recent offensive outburst with a power-play goal in a 3-0 win over Dallas on Thursday. While Schenn has been streaky for the Blues, he has been consistent versus the Red Wings with 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 14 career encounters. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | TCU v. Nevada +2 | 84-80 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nevada’s unbeaten start to the season ended painfully on Tuesday at Lubbock when Wolf Pack blew late lead at Texas Tech and lost in OT. That prevented this one from becoming a battle of the unbeatens, as TCU brings 9-0 SU mark into Staples. And though Frogs have some impressive wins in past two weeks, they now face a foe that won’t at all mind playing at the faster pace that Jamie Dixon prefers. Nevada also has the size on perimeter to deal with TCU wings 6-5 Desmond Bane & 6-7 Kenrich Williams, both scoring at 14 ppg. Match-up problem for Frogs will be Pack’s high-energy 6-7 post threat Jordan Caroline (17 ppg), who should be hellbent to atone for season-low 6-point output in bitter midweek loss vs. Red Raiders. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Colorado State v. Oregon -15 | 65-95 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units U of O in a very chippy mood after its long-standing 46-home win streak was snapped in 73-70 setback to surging Boise State last Friday. So, with 6 days to stew over that painful loss, look for determined Ducks to quickly get back on track vs. defensively-soft CSU, allowing 76.4 ppg (257th). Aggressive U of O defense should help fuel transition game vs. mistake-prone Rams, ranked a lowly 303rd in TO margin. Foresee a huge performance from Ducks’ skillful sr. G Elijah Brown (New Mexico transfer; 13 ppg), who hit only 6 of 15 from the field vs. Broncos. Rams likely fall to 0-3 as a visiting underdog after this anticipated double digit loss. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Golden Knights v. Predators -166 | 4-3 | Loss | -166 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kyle Turris has made the most of a change of scenery, scoring a goal and setting up another versus the Stars to increase his point total to 12 (three goals, nine assists) in 13 games since coming over in a trade from Ottawa. Both points against Dallas came on the power play to run that total to eight since the swap, and that number could rise as Turris and the Predators face the Golden Knights' 27th-ranked penalty kill (76.5 percent). Speaking of impressive numbers, Pekka Rinne has won seven of his last eight starts and owns an 11-2-1 mark at Bridgestone Arena. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Mavs +7.5 v. Bucks | 102-109 | Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dallas hung a 32-point beat down on Milwaukee at American Airlines Center in first meeting this season, marking the Mavs’ 9th series win in the last 10 meetings. Dallas is playing well of late, posting a 4-3 SU record and 6-1 spread mark in its last 7. The Mavs are out shooting foes from beyond the arc lately and have covered L4 visiting Eastern Conference foes. The Bucks appear overrated based on their 6-11 spread mark since Halloween, and don’t fancy laying points with Jason Kidd’s bunch on revenge alone. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | St. John's v. Arizona State -5.5 | 70-82 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is Chris Mullin’s best team at St. John’s, but the Red Storm is still far from a finished product. Its offensive sets are often breaking down into Gs Shamorie Ponds (20.2 ppg, but only 23% triples) and Marcus LoVett (15 ppg) going rogue, with the latter’s status ? due to twisted ankle that has kept him out of last two games. More shine to the undefeated ASU ornament at moment, as go-go Sun Devils (also six straight covers) scoring at 93 ppg clip while shooting better than 53% from floor. Bobby Hurley now has some real front line scoring threats in 6-8 RS frosh OF Romello White (16 ppg & 69% from floor) & 6’10 juco De’Quon Lake (11 ppg and 79% Fgs!) to complement holdover hotshot Gs Tra Holder (22 ppg) & Shannon Evans (19 ppg). 1 |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Blue Jackets -125 v. Devils | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Jersey jumped into first place in the Metropolitan Division with a 4-1 victory at Columbus on Tuesday night, but the Blue Jackets will try to reclaim the top spot in the back end of their home-and-home series tonight at Newark, N.J. Devils netminder Cory Schneider earned career win No. 100 in style with 41 saves in Tuesday's matchup. New Jersey coach John Hynes expects a major push-back from Columbus, which has dropped consecutive games following an 8-1-0 stretch that propelled it to the top of the Metropolitan |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Rangers v. Capitals -140 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Shattenkirk set up a goal in New York's 4-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday for his 13th point (three goals, 10 assists) in the last 16 games. Like the Rangers, the Capitals have won six of their last seven overall following Wednesday's 6-2 rout of Chicago. Captain Alex Ovechkin (one goal, three assists) and new line mate Tom Wilson (two goals, two assists) each registered four-point performances as Washington improved to 7-1-1 in its last nine contests at Capital One Arena and 3-1-0 on its season-high five-game home stand. Capitals G Holtby is 4-1-0 with a .932 save percentage in his last five starts. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Bulls v. Hornets -9.5 | 119-111 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Charlotte has covered 7 of first 8 as a home favorite, with G Kemba Walker scoring 24 ppg this season at the Spectrum Center. The Bulls are just 1-12 SU on the road this season and are only 2-6 vs. the points in their last 8 as a visitor, and potential return of PF Nikola Mirotic isn’t going to turn Chicago around |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Warriors v. Pistons +6 | 102-98 | Win | 100 | 1 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After beating Golden State back on Oct. 29, Stan Van Gundy’s Detroit side is 2-2 SU and 3-1 vs. the points in last 4 vs. the Warriors after losing the previous 9 straight in the series. This time around the Pistons catch G.S. without PG Steph Curry (out several weeks with an ankle injury), and possibly without PF Draymond Green (iffy with a sore shoulder). Revenge would work a lot better if Golden State was healthy, and the Pistons have covered 59% of the time at home the last 2+ seasons. |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Hurricanes v. Sharks -124 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units he San Jose Sharks may have a defenseman to step in for the suspended Brenden Dillon today, as Paul Martin is champing at the bit to get back on the ice. Martin hopes to be activated off injured reserve in time as the Sharks open a three-game homestand against the Carolina Hurricanes. Carolina fell for the fifth time in seven outings with Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Vancouver to open a season-high six-game road trip. |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Saints v. Falcons +1 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is the beginning of some huge match ups in the NFL this weekend. Back in the '90's, taking the road team in this series was gold. Falcons came from averaging 33 points per game in previous 3 outings, to just 3 field goals in 14-9 loss to Minnesota. First time since in 2 years that the Falcons went without a TD, & Ryan's 30-game run with at least 1 TD pass, is now history. Saints 1-game up on Carolina, with last weeks balanced win (Ingram & Kamara: 145 rushing yards). So New Orleans is now at 31.2 points per game in their last 10 games. |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Stars v. Blues -151 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues halted a three-game slide by cooling off one of the league's hottest teams and now will look to do the same against another opponent that had been on a roll. After an impressive road victory that ended Montreal's five-game winning streak, St. Louis returns to Central Division play to host the Dallas Stars tonight. The Blues managed only four goals during the three-game skid before matching that total in the 4-3 win over the Canadiens, improving to 9-3-2 on the road. St. Louis has dropped three of its last four at home, but it knocked off Dallas 4-2 at Scottrade Center on Oct. 7 to post its fourth consecutive victory in the series. Blues G Jake Allen is 7-2-0 with a 2.29 goals-against average versus Dallas. |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Flames v. Canadiens -165 | 3-2 | Loss | -165 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Montreal Canadiens look to return to their winning ways today as they continue their five-game homestand against the Calgary Flames. Montreal had won four straight at Bell Centre and five in a row overall before dropping a 4-3 decision to St. Louis on Tuesday. Defenseman Shea Weber has recorded points in four of his last five games and both contests since returning from injury after scoring twice in the loss for the Canadiens, who are 1-1-0 on their homestand. Calgary remains in search of its first win of the month after falling to 0-2-1 with Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss at Toronto. |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Nuggets v. Pelicans -4.5 | 114-123 | Win | 100 | 21 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A little payback should be on the plate for New Orleans after being victimized by one of the season’s most puzzling scorelines on Nov. 17 at Pepsi Center when Nuggets dropped a 146-114 bomb on the Pels. New Orleans stopped playing “D” in second half that night when Denver rolled up 82 points en route to 63% FG shooting! All starters in double figures for Nuggets led by Jamal Murray’s 31 points. But that was one of the last games Paul Millsap was active for Denver, and minus him the Nuggets have absorbed some beatings on the road, losing by 30 at Houston and 29 at Utah. The Nuggets were bottom ten-ranked in both offense and defense in the first four games that Millsap missed, so Pels couldn’t have picked a better time to seek their revenge |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Blackhawks v. Capitals -135 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 21 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two perennial powers heading in opposite directions will collide tonight when the Washington Capitals host the Chicago Blackhawks. The Capitals are starting to hit their stride with five wins in their last six games, but the Blackhawks are battling to avoid the Central Division basement after dropping four in a row. Washington's only loss in the past six games came at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings, who sent Chicago to its fourth consecutive defeat (0-2-2) with a 3-1 road victory on Sunday. The Blackhawks have struggled against the Capitals, losing six of their last seven overall and the past six visits to Washington, including a 6-0 drubbing in their last trip in January. |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Flames v. Maple Leafs -145 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After squandering a chance to exploit some bottom-rung teams at home, the Calgary Flames hit the road for a back-to-back beginning with today's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Flames surrendered 12 goals in dropping two games in a row to close out a 1-3-0 homestand that opened with a 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs on Nov. 28. Calgary was lit up for seven goals by provincial rival Edmonton on Saturday before losing a 5-2 decision to reeling Philadelphia, which had dropped 10 in a row before Monday's victory |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Hurricanes v. Canucks +109 | 0-3 | Win | 109 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jeff Skinner ended an eight-game drought by scoring his team-leading 10th goal and defenseman Noah Hanifin tallied at 4:58 of the extra session for the Hurricanes, who have dropped their last two on the road (0-1-1). Vancouver continues a three-game homestand that began Saturday with a 2-1 triumph over Toronto. Jacob Markstrom came within 2:52 of his first career shutout while Daniel Sedin notched an assist one game after registering three points to eclipse 1,000 for his career. Captain Henrik Sedin also set up a goal, giving him at least one assist in six of his last seven contests. |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Wild v. Kings -130 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings rebounded from a disastrous stretch of losses in seven of eight games (1-6-1) with victories in five straight contests. The Pacific Division-leading Kings look to extend their season-high win streak on Tuesday when they open a three-game homestand against the Minnesota Wild. Los Angeles' calling card has long been its defense, and Jonathan Quick continued his stellar play after turning aside 24 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over Chicago. The 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy recipient is 4-0-0 with a 1.23 goals-against average and .952 save percentage during the win streak |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Jets -125 v. Red Wings | 1-5 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Winnipeg Jets have climbed to the top of the Western Conference with at least a point in four straight and look to enhance their position when they visit the plummeting Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. The Jets have a one-point lead atop the West after going 9-2-1 in their last 12 outings and scoring 21 goals while going 3-0-1 in the last four after Sunday’s dominant 5-0 triumph against Ottawa. Detroit has dropped seven straight games (0-4-3) after an embarrassing 10-1 loss at Montreal on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +7 | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 71 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As usual, the Buckeyes of Ohio State have been in the mix for the collegiate playoff for just about the entire season, that is, until their 55-24 loss to Iowa, a 49-point ATS loss. So 2 losses & now 8th in the national polls. Despite that, can't help but note that they rank 5th & 4th in scoring & total offense, as well as 20th & 8th in scoring & total defense. No doubt still an obvious force, especially with Meyer on the sidelines. But the 2nd-ranked Badgers just win (11-0). Are 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 1st in run, pass, scoring, total defense, with solid combination in their backfield: seasoned QB in Hornibrook & nation's 3rd ranked rusher, in frosh Taylor. |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Miami-FL v. Clemson -9.5 | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 70 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sure, the defending national champs aren't on the same page as last year's edition, offensively, that is. After all, there is only one Deshaun Watson (just ask the Houston Texans). However, defensively, they have few, if any, peers. A week ago, for example, it seemed as if the entire football world was on South Carolina, as a home dog vs CU. Result: 34-10 Tiger win, with a 27-10 first down edge. The 'Canes came crashing down in last weeks shocking loss to Pitt & its 86th ranked defense, managing a mere 14 first downs & 45 rushing yards. Miami has been streaky all season (+52 points ATS previous 2, but -26 points ATS last 2). Tigers! |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Memphis v. Central Florida -7 | 55-62 | Push | 0 | 62 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Match of the nation's top 2 scoring teams. The Tigers of Memphis did about as expected in last week's 70-13 destruction of East Carolina's sieve defense, with nearly a 300-yard edge. Memphis, behind QB Ferguson, is averaging 44.2 points per game in its last 5 outings, thus, the Tigers are the real deal. Only 1 loss. Right, that setback came at the hands of this week's opponent, in that 40-13 final in Sept. I've been on the undefeated Knights since the season's beginning, reaping a nice reward, and I'm not about to change. |
|||||||
12-01-17 | Stanford +4 v. USC | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 46 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Second meeting for these 2 annual giants, with Trojans dominating first match, with over 300 yards in both rushing & passing. However, that meeting occurred in week 2, before Cards got in groove, while Troy followed with 6 straight ATS losses, with QB Darnold out of sync. But a solid windup, before squeaking past defenseless Ucla. Love is #2 in the land in rushing (168 yards per game; 8.6 yards per rush). Pac-12 North is 6-0 in title games. |

11-30-17 | Redskins -1.5 v. Cowboys | 14-38 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the 13th straight year, the NFC East will not have a repeat champion, which is truly amazing. Guess McNabb wasn't so bad after all. Third straight home game for the 'Boys, but little seems to matter, as this team has lost its last 3 games, by a combined score of 90-22 (-61 points ATS) with just 1 touchdown in its last 11 quarters. Check Dak with 5 picks in last 2 games. He threw only 4 a year ago. Another? Okay. Outscored 72-6 in 2nd half of those 3. Redskins a dangerous team, holding Giants to 7 first downs last week. I cannot back "Big D" |

11-30-17 | 76ers +9 v. Celtics | 97-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston win streak had grown to a Bird-McHale-like 16 in a row into last Wednesday vs. the Heat. Though this one still intrigues a bit because of Philly’s stirring. Remember, the Celtic win streak began way back on Oct. 20 at Wells Fargo Center, when Boston tied up both Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons (each held to only 11 points) in 102-92 win. But a bit more characteristic production from Embiid and/or Simmons could get Sixers (7-2 as dog through Nov. 26) closer in rematch. |

11-30-17 | Notre Dame +6 v. Michigan State | 63-81 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Maybe Mike Brey brings Coley O’Brien and Rocky Bleier along for moral support in East Lansing. But Brey’s “small-ball” working just fine in the early going, as LSU found out in Maui when the Fighting Irish burned the nets at 52% and drubbed the Tigers by 39. ND’s mobile 6-6 sr. PF Bonzie Colson (20.3 ppg in early going) could prove awkward for MSU bigs, especially touted 6-11 frosh Jaren Jackson, jr., who is having a devil of a time staying out of foul trouble (4 or 5 whistles in first three games) in November. Tom Izzo justifiably worried about protecting the glass (Duke 25 offensive caroms in recent Blue Devil win at Chicago) and with sloppiness (Spartans 17 TOs pg first three), not to mention recent twisted ankle suffered by star 6-7 soph wing Miles Bridges. |
|||||||
11-28-17 | Illinois +3 v. Wake Forest | 73-80 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Slow start at Wake, as the early departure to NBA of do-everything 6-10 John Collins has changed the Deacon dynamics. Yet to pick up the baton has been expected new go-to guy G Bryant Crawford, who’s taking the most shots of his career while shooting the lowest field goal percentage (34.9) in his three years. Danny Manning’s troops dropped 4 of their first 5, with two losses coming against a pair of teams (Liberty & Drake) ranked outside the top 150 on KenPom.com, (Liberty, Drake). Manning must stop this slide soon as Wake was playing its way out of the NCAA tournament pool before Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, new HC Brad Underwood already working some of his magic with the Fighting Illini, 4-0 out of the chute with handy wins over capable DePaul & Marshall, while tallying 88 ppg with five DD scorers led by emerging 6-7 jr. F Leron Black (15.5 ppg). |

11-28-17 | Baylor v. Xavier -4.5 | 63-76 | Win | 100 | 22 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Big East challenger, high-powered & deadly gunning Xavier (94.5 ppg; 56.8% FGs) has been pining for rematch ever since stinging 76-61 setback in Waco last year, when defensively-stingy Musketeers (63.5 ppg) uncharacteristically suffered a nearly nine-minute drought without a FG. Therefore, have no qualms at all laying short price vs. BU bunch on the road for the first time facing loaded, veteran X-Men, spearheaded by future NBA draftee 6-6 sr. G Trevon Bluiett (25 ppg & 55% from arc; 6.8 rpg). Watch for a crowd pleasing, redemptive performance from Bluieitt’s complementary back court mate 6-5 sr. J.P. Macura, who hit a career-worst 2 of 16 from the field vs. the Bears. Payback is sweet at the Cintas Center. |

11-26-17 | Texas A&M v. USC -2 | 75-59 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In a match-up we might see again in March, A&M seeking revenge for late blown lead last November at College Station. And while Ags have done absolutely nothing wrong while surging into the national rankings after their 4-0 break from the gate, match-ups are a bit tricky vs. SC, which has the size and mobility along the front line with NBA bound 6-10 Bennie Boatwright & 6-11 Chimezie Metu to cause uncommon angst for A&M 6-10 bigs Robert Williams & Tyler Davis, who usually aren’t looking at their opponents at eye level. Trojans in midst of making a fortress out of home Galen Center and have already shown they can come out of the crucible with a W, as recent rally from 10 down to win in OT at Vandy suggests. |

11-26-17 | Nets v. Grizzlies -5.5 | 98-88 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brooklyn had a chance in the fourth quarter in each of its last three games - losses to the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers and Trail Blazers - but could not make the necessary plays down the stretch. The bright spot for Memphis continues to be center Marc Gasol, who showed off his wide range of skills with a career-high 14 assists on Friday. However, the Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. |

11-26-17 | Cal-Irvine v. UCLA -14.5 | 63-87 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units If semi-rebuilding UC Irvine was unable to slow down Arizona State in 99-78 setback in Tempe last Sunday, doubt the Anteaters will impede a loaded, fast-paced UCLA quintet, buoyed by come-from-behind 72-70 upset win over Big Ten juggernaut Wisconsin in Kansas City on Tuesday. Bruins, who had five DD-scorers vs. Badgers, showing more toughness on the stop end, allowing a meager 5 of 22 from the arc vs Wisconsin. UCI will have no holiday defending UCLA’s dynamic 6-1 jr. G Aaron Holiday (17 ppg, nearly 6 apg),while highly-touted 6-3 G Jaylen Hands (12 ppg; 54% from 3-point line) displaying a deadly shooting eye. |

11-26-17 | Jaguars -5 v. Cardinals | 24-27 | Loss | -115 | 75 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Visitor continues to shine in Jag games, covering 7-of-8. Gift cover for Jacksonville at Cleveland, on a recovered end zone fumble in final 1:14. Fourth straight win for Jags, in sole possession of first place in AFC South, holding 6 opponents to 7 points or less. So lead division after 10 games, for 1st time since 1999. And 5 more takeaways for league's top ranked defense. Check Cards' Gabbert with 257 passing yards and career-high 3 touchdowns in his first start of the season. However, Arizona is allowing 30 points per game in their 6 underdog roles this year |

11-26-17 | Seahawks -6.5 v. 49ers | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 69 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hard to believe that only 3 years ago, this may have been the best rivalry in the league. Just goes to show you what a great coach Jim Harbaugh is. For the Niners, the slump is over. They have won. Should have happened weeks ago, but it was nice to see Kyle Shanahan get his first W. Note that Goodwin's 83-yd catch was the longest touchdown for the 49ers, since Kaepernick's 90-yard run 4 years ago. San Francisco is 2-10 ATS vs Seattle, as well as 0-5 ATS off its bye |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Heat v. Bulls +6.5 | 100-93 | Loss | -104 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bulls are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Southeast and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference. While the Heat are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. Eastern Conference, and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Central. To top it off, the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. |

Rating: 2 Units Minnesota will remember the Nov. 11 loss in Phoenix and be out for revenge. Timberwolf defenders mostly stood and watched as Phoenix G Devin Booker and F T.J. Warren burned Minnesota counterparts Andrew Wiggins and Jimmy Butler repeatedly, scoring 35 points. each in a 118-110 upset. Sun defense the worst in the league, allowing 116 points per game. Expect Minnesota coach Tom Thiboudeau to give his men an earful about defense before this one...but how many is too many? |

11-26-17 | Canucks v. Rangers -160 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers, who started the season with one victory in their first eight games, suddenly are one of the hottest teams in the league as they prepare to host the Vancouver Canucks this afternoon. The Rangers have won three straight contests and nine of their last 11 after grinding out a 2-1 overtime triumph over the Detroit Red Wings on Friday. Henrik Lundqvist continued his strong run with 40 saves in his 11th straight start while Mats Zuccarello scored the overtime winner for New York, which has allowed just four goals in its last four games. The Rangers are getting balanced scoring, with six players recording at least 13 points |

11-26-17 | Predators +111 v. Hurricanes | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nashville Predators are hitting their stride after a slow start with wins in nine of their last 10 games and hope to continue the hot streak when they visit the inconsistent Carolina Hurricanes this afternoon. The Predators were 5-5-2 after a loss to San Jose on Nov. 1 but have been one of the league’s best teams since then while averaging four goals in their last 10 games - a stretch capped by a 2-0 shutout of St. Louis on Friday. |

11-26-17 | Bears v. Eagles -13.5 | 3-31 | Win | 100 | 71 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A Dallas/Seattle sandwich for the Eagles. But does it matter? Are now on an 8-0 SU run, as well as a 7-0 ATS skein. A week ago, it was simply stunning how Philly turned a brutal first half war (9-7 deficit) into a 37-9 blowout. Averaging 32 points per game, with Wentz at a brilliant 25 touchdowns with only 5 interceptions. And how about its top-ranked run defense? One of Fox's greatest moments came here in the '03 NFC Title game, when his Panthers upset Reid's Eagles. Bears on 4-1-1 ATS run, but can they slow down the Eagles? Until it changes I say "No"! |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Bucs v. Falcons -9.5 | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 66 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Finally a road win for the Bucs, who had dropped 6 straight as visitors, although their win over Miami's feeble offense (#31) saw Tampa with a 448-321 yard deficit (5-0 turn over edge). And before that one, note that the Bucs had allowed 34, 38, 30, & 30 points in the visiting role. So now must go it vs last years NFC champs. The Falcons entered their Monday Nighter with the Seahawks on a 1-5 ATS slide, as well as a 2-4 SU run. But Atlanta is 8-1 ATS off Monday games, & Quinn is 8-2 ATS off non-division, vs opponent off a road game. |

11-26-17 | Bills v. Chiefs -9.5 | 16-10 | Loss | -105 | 66 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Many heavy favorites this week. Bills' QB change really worked. Five 1st half picks for Peterman on only 12 passes. Three straight losses for the Bills, who entered with the best turn over ratio in the NFL (+11), before 6-0 deficit vs the Chargers. The Bills' worst defensive half since 1977. Four losses in five games for the Chiefs, with no touchdowns in windswept loss to then 1-8 Giants. However, Kansas City is a perfect 8-0 ATS vs AFC East |

11-25-17 | Wild v. Blues -150 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brayden Schenn had collected seven goals and 12 assists during a career-high eight-game stretch before joining his mates in being blanked by the Predators. The 26-year-old aims to get back on track versus Minnesota, against which he scored and set up a goal last season with Philadelphia and recorded nine points (one goal, eight assists) in his nine career encounters. Jake Allen has also fared well versus the Wild, posting a 6-3-0 mark with a 2.09 goals-against average and .923 save percentage in 11 career games. |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Magic v. 76ers -6 | 111-130 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Must be a little price sensitive here as, while Philly is a tremendous spread team (12-4 vs. number through Nov. 20), Orlando has been a solid winner as a road dog in recent seasons. Sixers have been favored by 7 or more once this season (a cover hosting Atlanta), but they catch the Magic coming off a game last night. Philly is rested, which means C Joel Embiid will be in lineup, and he, PG Ben Simmons (21 ppg, 9 rpg & 7 apg in L5) and F Robert Covington are a formidable trio. And Embiid will enjoy chewing up Magic Euro pivot Nikola Vucevic. |

11-25-17 | Spurs v. Hornets +2 | 106-86 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Charlotte’s bench was outscored 64-16 in the Spurs 108-101 win-and-cover in first meeting, with Hornet leader G Kemba Walker being held to just 4 of 12 shooting. Spur HC Gregg Popovich put the “hack-a-Howard” plan into the mix, sending the Hornet pivot to the line 20 times (he made 10). Charlotte, which visited Cleveland last night, has been historically terrible vs. the number in the 2nd night of back-to-backs but covered first two this season. Revenge-minded Hornets catch Spurs walking off turkey dinner, and have Nicolas Batum available this time around. Spurs 1-6 vs. number on road thru Nov. 21, and have failed to cover 3 of L4 trips to Charlotte. |

11-25-17 | Georgetown -3 v. Richmond | 82-76 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With Georgetown players quickly adapting to well-liked 1st-year HC Patrick Ewing (former Hoya A-A served as a 14-year NBA assistant), strongly recommend athletic, quick-jelling Hoyas, who should dominate glass vs. weak-boarding UR (-10.5 rpg; 330th). G’Town’s formidable 6-10, 270-pound jr. C Jessie Govan (21 ppg, 14.3 rpg) is clearly the premier “big” in this tilt. And good-shooting Hoyas (51% FGs, featuring marksman 6-7 jr. F Marcus Derrickson (14.3 ppg; 45% from arc), finds plenty of open looks vs. Spiders’ slow-rotating zone defense, permitting 51% from the field (ranked 333rd). |

11-24-17 | Bulls v. Warriors -19 | 94-143 | Win | 100 | 25 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Streaky Golden State had dropped 4 straight vs. the number prior to the Warriors’ visit to OKC on Wednesday, and G.S. is only 3-7 vs. the number in its last 10 laying double-digits at Oracle Arena. Couldn’t blame the defending champs if they relaxed a little against the lowly Bulls, who won just 3 of first 15 SU and failed to cover 5 of L6 before stopping in Utah Wednesday. Still, no-name Chicago will have trouble trading baskets and tend to self destruct quickly. Latest example was blowing a 19-point 3rd Q lead at the Lakers Tuesday. Warriors will force pace and score 120-125. |

11-24-17 | Heat v. Wolves -4 | 109-97 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minny had been livening up, winning 8 of L10 (7-2-1 vs. points) before losing to Detroit and at Charlotte before hosting Orlando Wednesday. Miami was 1-3 SU and vs. the number prior to playing Boston, due to dips in production from Gs Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters. Waiters certainly had no shooting problem in first meeting, making 14 of 28 shots in an OT Minnesota win in Miami. The Heat were without C Hassan Whiteside that night, allowing T-wolf counterpart Karl-Anthony Towns have a good night (20 pts., 12 rebs.) as did PG Jeff Teague (23 pts., 11 assists and 6 steals. Favor Minnesota to break out even though Whiteside will be ready |

Indiana’s personnel has changed, but the Pacers have been sharp the last week, winning and covering 4 straight with F Bojan Bogdanovic shooting 59% in his last 3. Indy has been off since Monday, enjoying an extended Thanksgiving break, and the Raptors are on a streak of their own, beating beat Houston, NO, NY and Washington before visiting the Knicks in a quick rematch Wednesday. |

11-24-17 | Magic +8.5 v. Celtics | 103-118 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boston has been unconscious, including beating Orlando at the Amway Center as part of a 16-game winning streak heading into Miami Wednesday. That’s all well and good, but the numbers will begin to be stretched out on the red-hot Celtics, who’ve only been a double digit favorite once this season. Boston is just 6-14 laying more than 8 points at home over the last 2+ seasons, and Orlando has a history of success as a big road dog. The Magic are outscoring opponents 110-109 away from home this season. |

Rating: 2 Units The Vegas Golden Knights continue to defy logic as they try for their eighth straight home victory when they host the San Jose Sharks today in the teams' first meeting. Vegas (13-6-1) matched the NHL record for victories by an expansion team in its first 20 games set by the 1917-18 Montreal Canadiens with a 4-2 victory at Anaheim on Wednesday behind No. 4 goaltender Maxime Lagace, who was making his 10th straight start. Vegas is 4-2-0 in its last six games despite going 2-for-14 on the power play while the Sharks are 1-for-21 with the man advantage over their last eight contests.

Rating: 2 Units Do the Giants own the AFC West elites, coming off their bye weeks, or not? First they took the Broncos, & now the first place Chiefs, picking Smith off twice, while holding him without a touchdown. He entered at a superb 18 touchdowns with only 1 interception, by the way. The end of the Saint/Skin game was very similar to the end of this past Super Bowl? Cousins was 22-of-32 for 322 yards & 3 touchdowns, only to see Washington's 31-16 lead with 3:00 left turn into an overtime loss.

Rating: 2 Units Orlando back on the road, which proved a dangerous adventure last season but not so bad yet in the new term, with Magic a respectable 4-5 SU first nine away. And Minnesota looks like it might be a slump-waiting-to-happen; T-wolves are 26th in the NBA defense, which is 29th if you remove garbage time, suggesting things could go south in a hurry. The most concerning thing, however, is that Minnesota's defense is 10.9 points per 100 possessions worse when Karl-Anthony Towns is on the court. |

Now with Chris Paul back in the fold, Rockets finally at full strength, though more than a few NBA insiders were wondering how Paul and “The Beard” were going to co-exist with only one ball on the floor. We’ll see. We’ll also see what Nuggets are made of in this schedule stretch with 15 of 22 on the road. But Mike Malone getting some better work in recent games from his bench, in particular the mercurial Emmanuelle Mudiay, who scored 21 points on 8-for-10 shooting, added seven rebounds plus five assists in an encouraging recent win over the Thunder on Nov. 9 |

Rating: 2 Units Even with Kawhi Leonard’s status not expected to change for a while, Spurs were recording some better offensive numbers prior to Nov. 15 loss at Minnesota, scoring 111 points per 100 possessions over the previous seven games, with passing and assist numbers also up. After running more isolation than Pop wanted in first few weeks, the Spurs got the ball moving again, averaging 313.8 passes per game (same as the Warriors in that stretch) in recent 6-game home stand. But Spurs now back on the road, where they’ve dropped five straight spread decisions. Meanwhile in New Orleans, the Boogie Cousins/Anthony Davis pairing continues to thrive — they are both averaging more than 26 points and 11 rebounds per game (which is a historic pace for teammates, if they can sustain it). and Rajon Rondo has returned to the lineup |

11-22-17 | Maple Leafs -113 v. Panthers | 1-2 | Loss | -113 | 1 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs saw their season-high six-game winning streak come to a halt after stumbling against the most unlikely of foes. The Maple Leafs look to regain their footing on Wednesday when they visit the Florida Panthers, who have dropped eight of their last 11 contests. James van Riemsdyk scored his fifth goal in as many games when he converted on the power play just 33 seconds into the second period on Monday, but Toronto saw its third-ranked offense held in check in a 4-1 setback to league-worst Arizona. The 28-year-old's goal with the man advantage was just the team's fifth in the last 13 games, however. Toronto might be able to gain some steam on the power play against Florida, which surrendered two goals while short-handed in its 3-2 loss to Anaheim on Sunday. Vincent Trocheck scored his team-leading ninth goal and added an assist for the Panthers, who limped to a 1-3-1 mark versus the Maple Leafs last season. |

11-22-17 | Senators v. Capitals -130 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 1 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Alex Ovechkin began the season with a flourish, recording an opening-night hat trick in a 5-4 shootout victory over the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 5. The three-time Hart Trophy recipient looks to recapture that magic and snap a six-game goal drought today as the Washington Capitals host the Senators. While Ovechkin is mired in a modest goal-scoring slump, fellow forward Nicklas Backstrom has failed to find the back of the net in his last 15 games - although coach Barry Trotz believes the Swede is knocking on the door. Ottawa would accept anything as it has mustered just three goals overall in its last three games (0-2-1) and is 0-for-11 on the power play in that stretch. |
|||||||
11-21-17 | Oilers v. Blues -145 | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 22 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Schenn continued his torrid stretch with two goals and an assist in St. Louis' 4-1 win at Edmonton on Thursday before netting the overtime winner two nights later in a 4-3 victory versus Vancouver. While the Blues have won nine of 12 overall and earned points in 11 of their last 13 home encounters with the Oilers, Edmonton fell for the fourth time in five outings with a 6-3 setback to Dallas on Saturday in the opener of a five-game trek. Reigning Hart Trophy recipient Connor McDavid netted a goal and set up two others to give him 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in his past 13 games, although he was held off the score sheet and finished with a minus-2 rating in that encounter with the Blues. |
|||||||
11-20-17 | Penn State -9.5 v. Pittsburgh | 85-54 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Big Ten sources keeping an eye on potentially-upgraded Penn State side with almost everyone back from last season and off to quick 3-0 break from gate in new term. Solid outside-inside combo of potent 6-5 G Tony Carr (20 ppg) & 6-7 F Lamar Stevens (15 ppg) intact from last season. That’s much more than can be said for Pitt, already with losses to Navy and Montana, as Kevin Stallings tries to pick up the pieces from a massively disappointing debut season and with a nation-tying 11 newcomers as a result of 4 seniors graduating & 5 players transferring out. |
|||||||
11-20-17 | Falcons +3 v. Seahawks | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 51 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is the moment that this Falcon team has been awaiting. Remember last year's game here, when they didn't call that obvious pass interference, in the final 1:30, when Sherman or Thomas just tackled Julio Jones? But "Legion of Boom" could be without both of these stars vs this dangerous team. Eight sacks vs Dallas, their most since 9 on 10/2/05 vs Minnesota. Seattle's defense shut down Peterson on Thursday, with Wilson 22-of-32 for 238 yards with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions (now 19/6). Atlanta is 9-1 ATS as a road dog off allowing under 8 points, while Seattle is 1-5 ATS off a Thursday game, & also 1-5 ATS vs the NFC South. |
|||||||
11-20-17 | Clippers v. Knicks -1.5 | 85-107 | Win | 100 | 24 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Clippers have fallen into an abyss in November, losing and failing to cover six straight, and eight of nine, into last Friday at Cleveland. Injuries piling up for Doc Rivers, with Patrick Beverley missing recent action due to a bad knee, fragile F Danilo Galinari (strained glute) on the shelf since early November, and preseason Euro sensation G Milos Teodosic still sidelined with ankle issues. Minus Gallinari and Beverley, Blake Griffin’s shooting stats have deteriorated to the point he recently recorded his worst shooting accuracy (just 31%) over a three-game stretch in his entire career. And in recent six-game slump, LA had the worst defensive numbers in league. Knicks now good enough to take advantage with Kristaps Porzingis (28.9 ppg) continuing to deal and increasing contributions from Euro rookie G Frank Ntilikina |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Eagles -5 v. Cowboys | 37-9 | Win | 100 | 31 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wow, these Eagles just keep on doing it. In off their bye. Have outscored opponents, 64-12, in the 1st quarter this year. Check their current 7-0 SU run, covering their last 6 by 64½ points. Wentz, of course, is their trigger, throwing for 23 touchdowns, with only 5 picks. Four touchdown passes vs the Broncos. And get this: he has three 4-touchdown performances in the last 5 weeks. And toss in the fact that Philly ranks #1 in rushing defense. The Cowboys are without "Zeke", although Dak has 25 touchdowns in 50 games, the 2nd fastest to get there, behind only Dan Marino. But this one is an Eagle call. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Panthers v. Ducks -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rickard Rakell, who leads the Ducks in both goals (six) and points (15), has collected a goal and seven assists over his last six contests. Florida is wrapping up a California road trip on which it has ended up on both sides of a shutout. After blanking San Jose on Thursday, the Panthers suffered a 4-0 loss at Los Angeles two days later - their seventh setback in their last 10 overall games (3-5-2). Florida's top line has been in a slump of late, as the trio of Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and Evgenii Dadonov failed to record a point in three of the last four contests. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | USC -3.5 v. Vanderbilt | 93-89 | Win | 100 | 27 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After opening-night rout of local big West entry CS Fullerton, SC might have been guilty of reading too many of its glowing press clippings as it couldn’t put away Summit rep North Dakota State until the final minutes three night later. That close shave vs. the Bison should make it easier for Andy Enfield to get his squad’s attention for this trip into SEC country vs. Bryce Drew’s Vandy side that is suddenly asking a lot of questions after losing to crosstown Belmont last Monday. The Commodores are not hitting their triples (only 27% in first two), and Drew is scrambling to departed 7-footer Luke Kornet, who did a bit of everything for Vandy the past couple of years. Kornet’s defense could have also come in handy vs. Trojans’ NBA bound front liners Bennie Boatwright & Chimezie Metu, scoring 37 points per game between them in early going. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Pacers +5.5 v. Heat | 120-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It looked like Miami was cruising to a cover back on Oct. 21, when the Heat opened up 21-point lead with just 16½ minutes to play, but the Pacers wouldn’t go away, closing the lead down to just 2 with 12 seconds left. Miami shot 51.7% led by Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters combined for 42 points and drained 17 of 29 FGs. Indiana G Victor Oladipo had 28 in that encounter, and Oladipo has been the best player for the Pacers all season, scoring 23 points per game and shooting a respectable 47.4%. Indy C Myles Turner was out of action in that game, but he’s returned in the last 10 days and is contributing 13 points per game and 7.6 rebounds per game since his return. And Miami hasn’t covered in 7 tries at American Airlines Arena this season. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Wizards +5 v. Raptors | 91-100 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington won in Toronto back on Nov. 5, which was the Wizards’ 6th cover in the last 7 visits to the Air Canada Centre in this visitor-oriented series. Will look that way again, as the Wizards are 5-1 vs. the number on the road this season and had won and covered 4 straight prior to hosting Miami on Friday. In first visit, Washington G Bradley Beal dropped 38 points on the Raptors, making up for the absence of all-star John Wall. Another star was Washington C Marcin Gortat (game-high 12 rebs.), who out dueled Euro counterpart Jonas Valanciunas, who was in foul trouble. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Rams +2.5 v. Vikings | 7-24 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These two could end up playing each other again in January. Rams have won 3 games by 30+ points. In their previous 213 games, they did it 3 times. And this season, they've scored 40+ points 3 times. In their previous 161 games, they managed that just 3 times. So 4 straight wins, & covers, including +42½ points ATS in their last 2 road games. Check Goff with 355 passing yards & 3 touchdowns. Five straight wins for Minnesota (Keenum: 304 passing yards & 4 touchdowns vs Washington). Rams are 12-1 ATS vs .500+ favorites vs an opponent who is off 2+ SU wins. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Redskins v. Saints -7.5 | 31-34 | Loss | -111 | 23 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units About time that I stopped going against the Saints, who've won 7 straight games, covering 6 (+104 points ATS). Check averaging 35 points per game in their last 5 contests, while holding 5-of-7 opponents to 13 points or less. Ingram is in off a career-best 3 touchdowns, & 131 rushing yards, with New Orleans finishing with 298 rushing yards & 32 first downs. Right, they never punted in rout of the Bills, scoring 5 times in their first 6 possessions. Redskins have dropped 5-of-6 vs the points, although Cousins had 327 passing yards & 3 touchdowns vs Minnesota, 2 rushing & 1 passing. And they have the Giants & Cowboys on deck. I jump on this rolling train. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Chiefs -10 v. Giants | 9-12 | Loss | -113 | 23 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Well, the visiting streak in Giant games is now by the boards, after NY was done in at San Francisco (Niners' first win). But the other side of that trend is the Giants losing at home (by 30 points ATS hosting the Rams just 2 weeks back). Last week, Eli tied brother Peyton, for the most consecutive starts, with 208. And Manning an efficient 28-of-37, along with 2 touchdown passes, so he now has 14 touchdowns with 6 interceptions for the year. But NY's 30th-ranked defense has now allowed 106 points in its 3-game slide. KC's Smith finally threw his first pick of the year (18 touchdowns with only the 1 interception). Chiefs rested off 1-3 slide, after 5-0 start. Lay it. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Jaguars -7.5 v. Browns | 19-7 | Win | 100 | 23 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Browns' woes continue. Led the Lions, 10-0, early in the game, for their first double-digit lead of the season, but it wasn't to be as Detroit pulled away with 21-0 windup on 3 Stafford touchdown passes. But note Cleveland with a 28-16 first down edge, with 201 rushing yards, and a 34:34-25:26 time edge. Kizer: 232 passing yards with a touchdown and an interception. Jacksonville's Marrone lost here as HC of the Bills in '13, 37-24. Three straight wins for "Sacksonville", on tipped OT FG vs the Chargers, although no touchdowns for Fournette (1st time this year). The Jags are 8-1 ATS vs the AFC North, while the Browns' Jackson is 3-7 ATS as a home dog of 4 or more points. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Air Force +17.5 v. Boise State | 19-44 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Miracle cover for Broncos last week, who clicked on 2 Rypien touchdown passes in final 1:41, sending it into OT, for a 59-52 win, as 6½ point favorites. Whew! Home now 4-23 ATS in Boise State games. Falcons in their last 4 games: 45, 45, 0, & 14 points, but the dog is 16-1 ATS in Air Force contests. No other way to go in this one. Take the points. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Blues -128 v. Canucks | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Vancouver Canucks hope to avoid a third straight loss at home when they face off against the Western Conference-leading St. Louis Blues today. Vancouver has dropped four of its last five (1-3-1) at Rogers Arena, including a 5-2 setback against expansion Vegas on Thursday. Bo Horvat scored his team-leading eighth goal as the Canucks tallied twice in the second period to forge a tie before allowing three in the third en route to falling to 3-5-2 at home this season. The Blues are wrapping up a three-game road trip on which they are 1-1-0 after rolling to a 4-1 triumph in Edmonton on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Nevada -10.5 v. Pacific | 89-74 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sources report that shrewd Nevada HC Eric Musselman has made a seamless transition after the departures of the top scorers from last years loop winner and Big Dance qualifier. Musselman’s latest batch of transfers are already making a huge impact, specifically ex-NC State twins and 6-7 wings Cody and Caleb Martin, tallying almost 35 points per game between them as the Pack (90 points per game) is off to a winging 3-0 SU and spread start. Meanwhile, Iowa State transfer G Hallice Cooke keeping defenses loose while canning a cool 70% beyond arc in early going, and opponents (including A-10 heavyweight Rhode Island) having big problems coping with Nevada’s non-stop 6-7 PF Jordan Carolina (averaging 21 & 10 the first week). Asking a bit much of Damon Stoudemire’s completely-rebuilt UOP to stay within earshot, especially noting how fellow WCC member Santa Clara was buried at home by 30 at midweek by the rampaging Pack |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Missouri -8.5 v. Vanderbilt | 45-17 | Win | 100 | 75 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Amazing turnaround for Tigers, who have not only covered 6 straight, but who turned 5-game losing streak, into 4 game winning run, averaging 53.3 points per game! Vanderbilt allowing 46.2 points per game in its 6 losses. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Celtics v. Hawks +7 | 110-99 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Atlanta has been much more competitive the last few weeks, covering 5 of last 6, as 7 players have averaged double-digit scoring and the team shot 49.4% in the last 5. Boston was put to the test in its Nov. 6 visit to Philips Arena, the two teams’ initial meeting this year. The Hawks dropped a 110-107 decision, but got the cover, with Atlanta holding a lead with under 2:00 remaining. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | NC State v. Wake Forest -1.5 | Top | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 75 h 52 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit ACC Game of the Week Deacons something else, with a 734-621 yard edge over Syracuse, with a 43-5 point windup. Wolford last two weeks: 694 passing yards. The dog is 6-2-1 ATS in Wolfpack games this year, but note a 778-424 rushing yard deficit the past 3 weeks. Finley now 15 touchdowns with 4 interceptions, but can't ignore host owning this series. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Jazz v. Magic -6.5 | 125-85 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Orlando cooled off in losing final 3 of its 4- game Western road swing, but Magic are back at home, have had two days off and catch a cold Utah club coming off a visit to Brooklyn last night. Magic fans (and HC Frank Vogel) must be happy to see their team with a winning record after collecting an average of just 26 wins per season over the last 5 years. Meanwhile, Utah has some key injuries that potentially might hurt them badly. Defensive “plastic man” C Rudy Gobert is out, and point G Ricky Rubio is iffy with an Achilles problem (remember, backup PG Dante Exum is out for the year). |
