---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
01-24-17 | Jazz +2.5 v. Nuggets | 93-103 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Home edge has held in first three meetings, with host a SU winner in all and 2-0-1 vs. line in those games. Not sure, however, that means advantage Denver, as Utah was minus key G George Hill in Nov. 23 loss at Pepsi Center. Nuggets have been on an unmistakable roll since recent trip to London, where they buried Pacers and began a 3-game win streak in which Mike Malone’s team scored 131 ppg. But vs. Jazz, Denver (also “over” last seven thru Jan. 19) has been held to under 100 in two of three previous meetings, and all four a year ago. And since Utah plays at the slowest pace in the league, doubt Nugs get their recently-percolating transition game in gear |
|||||||
01-24-17 | San Diego State -6.5 v. Air Force | 57-60 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Not ready to write off SDSU just yet in the Mountain West. Although the Aztecs aren’t wearing the same huge target as in recent years, especially after their slow 0-3 break from gate in league play, the spark has returned in their recent DD wins over Utah State and UNLV. SDSU won handily vs. the Runnin’ Rebs even with top scorer G Jeremy Hemsley enduring woeful 1 for 11 shooting night, as backcourt mate Trey Kell is now providing consistent help and stepped up with 24 vs. UNLV. The Force has been playing at a faster pace this season, a tempo that has exposed defensive flaws that should be exploited by the surging Aztecs. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Lightning v. Blackhawks -151 | 5-2 | Loss | -151 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blackhawks are tied with Minnesota for the most points in the Western Conference and Tampa Bay was expected to be at least near the top in the East, but injuries and uneven play have sent the Lightning tumbling to the bottom of the standings. Tampa Bay started its critical six-game road trip with a solid 2-1 victory at Los Angeles, but gained one point in three losses since after a disheartening 5-3 setback at Arizona on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Wild -111 v. Stars | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild showed signs of fatigue in letting a two-goal lead evaporate in their last contest while falling for just the fifth time in their last 24 games (19-3-2). The Wild look to rebound and set a franchise-record 13-game road point streak today when they visit the Central Division-rival Dallas Stars. Mikael Granlund scored a goal versus the Predators to extend his point streak to seven games (one goal, seven assists), during which he also set up a pair of tallies in a 5-4 victory over Dallas on Jan. 14. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Sabres v. Predators -169 | 5-4 | Loss | -169 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nashville Predators nearly played themselves out of playoff contention following a rocky stretch of five-plus weeks starting in early December. The Predators have since turned things by winning six of their last seven games -- matching their victory total from the previous 18 contests. Nashville won its third in a row with a come-from-behind 4-2 victory at red-hot Minnesota on Sunday to cap an impressive 4-1-0 road trip. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Sharks -105 v. Jets | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose is coming off its fifth consecutive victory, a 5-2 triumph at Colorado on Monday in which Patrick Marleau recorded his first career four-goal performance — all in the third period. The Sharks have been stingy during their winning streak, allowing fewer than three tallies in each of the victories. San Jose remained one point behind Anaheim in the Pacific Division with the win over the Avalanche and can overtake the Ducks for first place |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Wake Forest v. Syracuse -3 | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 24 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Orange are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. While the Demon Deacons are 7-17-2 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS win, 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5, and 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up win. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Flames v. Canadiens -175 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Calgary's losing streak reached three games Monday as it kicked off its three-game road trip with a 4-0 setback against Toronto. Not even Sean Monahan could prevent the Flames from being shut out for the second time in two weeks, as the center's goal-scoring streak was stopped at five games. Calgary is 0-3-1 away from home this month, netting a total of three tallies in the defeats. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Blue Jackets -135 v. Islanders | 2-4 | Loss | -135 | 21 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets have done an impressive job in making the 2016-17 season one for the books, and Cam Atkinson has been a central character throughout it all. Fresh off his fifth two-goal performance of the season, Atkinson looks to send the Blue Jackets to their third straight victory on Tuesday when they play the second contest of their four-game road trip against the New York Islanders. Atkinson collected a goal and an assist in Columbus' 6-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Dec. 10 and his team-leading 23 tallies and 45 points are a respective four and eight shy of his career-high totals, set last season. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Blues v. Penguins -203 | 3-0 | Loss | -203 | 21 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Conor Sheary has been on the roll of his young career and the Pittsburgh Penguins are riding the wave of success at home. Named the NHL's First Star of the Week, Sheary looks to extend the Penguins' winning streak to five games overall and a season-best eight at PPG Paints Arena today when the club hosts the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis isn't enjoying its recent streak as one of the stingiest clubs over the last five years has been singed for 18 goals on its three-game slide, dropping the Blues to 26th in average goals per game allowed (3.1). Pittsburgh G Matt Murray has stopped 90 of 93 shots in his past three games and owns a 13-0-2 mark in his last 15 home starts. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Louisville -6.5 v. Pittsburgh | 106-51 | Win | 100 | 23 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Panthers are 18-39-2 ATS in their last 59 home games, 6-15-2 ATS in their last 23 games overall, and 8-22 ATS in their last 30 Tuesday games. While the Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite, and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. In addition, the Road team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. |
|||||||
01-23-17 | Knicks v. Pacers -5.5 | 109-103 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Teams spilt a couple of higher-scoring battles earlier in season, with host side winning outright on each occasion. Expect that home trend to hold in late January, especially with recent Indiana form pretty good. Prior to last Friday vs. Lakers, Pacers had yet to lose on US mainland in 2017 (only loss in 8-game stretch thru Jan. 19 was in London vs. Denver)! Indy has taken advantage of a soft schedule stretch in January, and that should hold vs. Knicks, who had lost 11 of 14 SU into Jan. 19 game at Washington. |
|||||||
01-23-17 | Louisiana-Monroe v. Texas State -6 | 57-63 | Push | 0 | 29 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sun Belt sources suggesting we keep an eye on Texas State, as HC Danny "Cool McCool" Kaspar has his best team in four years at San Marcos, confirmed by recent upset wins over UT-Arlington at Troy. All five Bobcat starters scored in DDs in that win vs. Trojans, and 6-7 sr. Kavin Gilder-Tilbury (16.1 ppg) has emerged as one of the Belt's best scoring threats. Meanwhile, 6-5 frosh G Nijal Pearson (14.3 ppg L3) making impact. Not seeing similar progress with ULM, which was still winless SU in Belt play thru Jan. 20. |
|||||||
01-23-17 | Troy State +2.5 v. Arkansas-Little Rock | 78-69 | Win | 100 | 28 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The rojans are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 road games, 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. While Arkansas LR is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Monday games, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. |
|||||||
01-23-17 | Kings v. Rangers -121 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kings have scored a total of five goals during their slide after recording three or more in each of their previous four contests. Jeff Carter entered Sunday ranked second in the league with 24 goals after tallying against the Islanders to match his total from last season. Sunday's victory was the 20th of the season for Lundqvist, who became the first goaltender in NHL history to reach the plateau in each of his first 12 campaigns. The 34-year-old Swede also joined Martin Brodeur (1995-2008) and Tony Esposito (1969-81) as the only netminders to notch 20 wins in 12 consecutive seasons. |
|||||||
01-23-17 | Hurricanes v. Capitals -175 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Carolina Hurricanes appeared ready to move into playoff position in the Eastern Conference before last week, but three straight losses have halted their momentum. The Hurricanes will try to regain their footing and post a confidence-building victory today as they visit the red-hot Washington Capitals, who have registered at least one point in 13 consecutive games (11-0-2). Carolina, which entered Sunday two points out of the second wild-card spot, was outscored 11-2 in the first two games of the losing streak. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Predators v. Wild -125 | 4-2 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minnesota is seeking its third straight win and seventh in eight games as it concludes a four-game homestand after rallying from a two-goal deficit to post a 5-3 victory over Anaheim on Saturday. Jason Zucker started and ended the comeback for his first two-goal performance of the season, which gave him five tallies in his last six contests. The Western Conference-leading Wild are 19-2-2 overall since the beginning of December and have won 11 of their last 13 at home. Minnesota won each of the previous two meetings this season — both in Nashville. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Nuggets v. Wolves -4.5 | 108-111 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sizzling Minnesota has covered 6 of its last 7 overall and 5 of its last 6 at the Target Center, as the Timberwolves are maturing rapidly in their first season under HC Tom Thibodeau. Minny, which is 14-6 vs. the number since Dec. 11, has been rising on the play of Karl-Anthony Towns, who has averaged 27 pts., 14.4 rebounds and shot more than 60% in his last 5 games. Denver C Nikola Jokic has scored 24 ppg and pulled down 10 rpg over his last 10 games, but the Nuggets didn’t play a team with a topflight center in its recent 3-game win-and-cover streak which ended Thursday in San Antonio. Prior to that modest run, the Nuggets were 1-8 vs. the points in their previous 9 games, and Denver has allowed 117 ppg over its last 13 outings. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Steelers v. Patriots -6 | 17-36 | Win | 100 | 53 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Patriots have been at the pinnacle all year especially in their last 13 games, as they've averaged 30.3 points per game in that baker's dozen affairs. And, as I've been saying repeatedly, Tom has been the main cog in their current 12-1 run, since his reinstatement, with 30 TD passes & only 4 interceptions. However, he was at 28/2 entering their less than impressive win over the Texans; just 47% & 2 touchdowns with 2 interceptions. However, Lewis became the 1st player in the Super Bowl era with running, receiving, & kick returning TDs. Not the best offensive display, but check holding Houston to 3 points over the final 40:49. They've already taken the measure of the Steelers, 27-16, in week #7, but Ben didn't suit up for that one. No TDs for Pitt, in its narrow 18-16 escape at KC (playoff-record 6 FGs for Boswell), and Roethlisberger is just 2 touchdowns with 3 interceptions in Steeler wins over the Dolphins & Chiefs. However, their overland game has a 350-113 yard edge in the playoffs. But running on this underappreciated Patriot defense could be another matter. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Suns v. Raptors -12 | 115-103 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Toronto has been a great “bully” at the Air Canada Centre this season, covering 5 of 6 chances laying more than 9 points (13-5 as a favorite in all categories). The Raptors should be poised for a top effort after Phoenix upset the Raptors 99-91 in first meeting played Dec. 29. A sloppy 18 turnovers and combined 4 of 19 3-point shooting from Kyole Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and Terrence Ross killed the Raptors in that game. Toronto gave up 57 points in the 2nd half that night, so expect HC Dwane Casey to send a no-nonsense message at the half this time around |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Flyers v. Islanders -120 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York has won three straight overall and Anders Lee collected three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak after tallying twice in Saturday's 4-2 triumph over the Kings. A five-day break did nothing to help Philadelphia, which dropped a 4-1 home decision to New Jersey on Saturday for its third consecutive loss and 12th in 15 games (3-9-3). The Flyers have scored a total of one goal over their last two matches and been held to fewer than three tallies 10 times during their current slump. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | UCF +5 v. Memphis | 65-70 | Push | 0 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With UCF desiring to stay within reach of AAC leader Cincy, strongly urge “investing” in the defensively-smothering Knights (yielding only 58.6 ppg; nation-leading 34.1% FGs permitted), anchored by 7-6 giant Tacko Fall. UM’s double-double machine 6-8 F Dedric Lawson won’t easily get it in “gear” in the paint area. And the Tigers lack the marksmen to pick up the slack, judging from their rim-rattling 31.3% from distance (ranking 307th). Plus, UCF’s athletic 6-9 stretch-four F A.J. Davis (7.6 ppg, 7.8 rpg) is thriving with the return of previously-injured 6-2 PG B.J. Taylor (16.0 ppg, 4.0 apg), who’s also feeding the “rock” to torrid-shooting 6-5 sr. G Matt Williams, who nailed a league-record 12 triples vs. USF on Tuesday. Double revenge pays off. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Packers v. Falcons -4 | 21-44 | Win | 100 | 73 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units When it comes to blitzing the scoreboard, the Falcons are without a peer this season, having topped 17 points 13 times, while averaging 36.5 points per game in their last 8 home games. They showed their worth in rout of the physical Seahawks, holding them to 2 field goals over a 48:05 stretch, in turning a 7-0 deficit into a 36-13 lead. Ryan has always been there, but this year has been special. He was 38 touchdown with only 7 interceptions, with 4,944 passing yards, before a solid 70.3%, 338 yards, & 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions vs Seattle, which marked just his 2nd playoff success, as he was previously 1-4 in post-season play. The Falcons have made it to the Super Bowl just once ('98 loss to Denver), & this makes only their 4th conference title game. These 2 met earlier, with the Falcons taking it 33-32, on Ryan's 3rd TD pass in final 0:31 (80%, 3/0), although Rodgers was his match: 74%, 4/0. But, I'll take the home field. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Bruins v. Penguins -161 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The rumblings concerning Claude Julien's job security are getting louder after Friday's 1-0 loss to Chicago dropped Boston to 8-10-5 in its last 23 games as it clings to a playoff spot in the crowded Eastern Conference and tries to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs after a two-season drought. Pittsburgh, the defending Stanley Cup champion, is firing on all cylinders as it scored19 goals during a three-game winning streak, including a 7-1 victory at Carolina on Friday. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Illinois-Chicago +12.5 v. Valparaiso | 65-96 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ever since 70-59 home loss to Valpo on Dec. 30, UIC has been on fire, covering 5 straight Horizon contests (4-1 SU, only loss by 1 pt. to Oakland). Flames’ talented frosh G Godwin Boahen (hails from Toronto; 9.5 ppg, 3.5 apg) displaying terrific court vision and can nail the open J. Meanwhile, UIC’s aggressive 6-9 jr. C Tai Odaise (11.7 ppg, 7.1 rpg; 205 career swats) provides needed resistance for the Crusaders’ No. 1 scorer, 6-9 sr. F Alec Peters. And note, Flames are sizzling 12-2-1 vs spread last 15 reg.season conference tilts, while Crusaders 0-4 as DD chalk TY. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Northwestern +1 v. Ohio State | 74-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units If NU can make the Big Dance for the first time, then it can be projected that the Wildcats can win in Columbus. After all, Chris Collins’ troops have already proven they can triumph on the Big Ten trail (at Penn State & Nebraska). And the low-variance Buckeyes had dropped their first four Big Ten tilts before making a mild recovery vs. Michigan State and at Nebraska. Northwestern is providing more matchup problems on the wings this term, with now-healthy 6-7 Vic Law, who missed almost all of LY with injury, but who has been terrorizing Big Ten defenses, scoring DDs in his first six league games. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Rangers -141 v. Red Wings | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 16 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Henrik Lundqvist ended a dispiriting stretch last time out and the veteran goalie looks to build off that effort when his New York Rangers visit the Detroit Red Wings today afternoon. Lundqvist, who allowed 20 goals in his previous four contests, turned aside 23-of-25 shots in a 5-2 victory at Toronto on Friday as the Rangers snapped a three-game slide. Michael Grabner continues to be one of the best free-agent signings after last season with 21 goals – the second-most in his career behind the 34 he posted with the New York Islanders in 2010-11 |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Ducks v. Wild -165 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bruce Boudreau will receive his second look at the team with which he won four consecutive division titles tonight as his white-hot Minnesota Wild host the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks. Boudreau enjoyed his trip back to Orange County on Jan. 8 after Minnesota skated to a 2-1 triumph as part of its stellar 18-2-2 run. Goaltender, Devan Dubnyk, who leads the league in goals-against average (1.88) and save percentage (.936), made 23 saves in the win over Anaheim and Eric Staal added an assist to continue his torrid run. The 32-year-old Staal recorded his 22nd point (10 goals, 12 assists) in 18 games by scoring his team-leading 16th goal in the Wild's 4-3 win over Arizona on Thursday. Minnesota has won 10 of its last 12 at home. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Clippers v. Nuggets -4.5 | 98-123 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Loss of PG Chris Paul (thumb surgery) a potential death blow to Los Angeles’ hopes of challenging for a title. Until Clipper PF Blake Griffin returns to duty (maybe 1-2 weeks), L.A. will only go as far as Gs Austin Rivers and Ray Felton can take them. Nugget C Nikola Jokic is scoring 23 ppg, taking 11 rpg and shooting 60% in January. The Clippers are just 5-12 SU the last two seasons when Paul doesn’t play. Can’t forget Denver beat L.A. on Dec. 26 with Paul resting a hamstring strain. L.A. 1-5 SU L6 and 1-7 L8 vs. the spread on the road |
|||||||
01-21-17 | San Francisco v. San Diego +3 | 60-43 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toreros are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall, 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog, and 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5. While the Dons are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Rockets -110 v. Grizzlies | 119-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston is in a double-revenge situation. Both teams played last night, but the Rockets have the best record in the league (10-1 SU) in 2nd night of back-to-back games. Memphis also excels when unrested, sporting 8-2 SU and 7-3 spread marks. Griz PG Mike Conley, G Tony Allen and sixth man PF Zach Randolph have combined for 52 ppg and shot a combined 59% in keying a pair of Memphis upset series wins. But the Rockets are 17-6 vs. the points on the road since dropping the season opener at the Lakers this season, and they should be motivated to avoid a 3rd straight series loss to the Griz. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Capitals -120 v. Stars | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NHL Play of the Day The Washington Capitals have not lost in regulation in 12 games but they face a much more daunting streak as they prepare to visit the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. Riding a torrid 10-0-2 stretch. While Washington has ascended to its perch at the top of the NHL standings, Dallas has been unable to reclaim the form that produced a Western Conference-best 109 points in 2015-16. Dallas has won at least two games in a row only once since Nov. 10-11, and Thursday's 3-0 setback at the Islanders dropped the team to 3-12-4 following a victory. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Troy State +5.5 v. Arkansas State | 80-82 | Win | 100 | 23 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Trojans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5, 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. While the Red Wolves are 8-17 ATS in their last 25 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Suns v. Knicks -5 | 107-105 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Controversy swirling around the Knicks, as Carmelo Anthony’s relationship with front office honcho Phil Jackson appears ready to go the way of the Tony Parker-Eva Longoria marriage. Coupled with PF Kristaps Porzingis’ Achilles trouble and PG Derrick Rose’s odd behavior, the feud rounds out the New York soap opera. However, the Knicks have been a strong home favorite, logging a 20-8 spread mark as MSG chalk over the last 2 seasons. Porzingis is available again, and he scored 34 in NY’s OT loss at Phoenix Dec. 13, a game the Knicks likely would’ve won if ’Melo hadn’t shot 3-of-15 and Rose was fully available (DNP 2nd half-due to back spasms) |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Sabres v. Canadiens -175 | 3-2 | Loss | -175 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Buffalo Sabres attempt to halt a four-game road slide when they begin a month-ending four-game trek Saturday against the Atlantic Division-leading Montreal Canadiens. Buffalo has gone 0-3-1 away from home since opening January with a 4-1 triumph at the New York Rangers. Montreal is looking to put together its first winning streak since the beginning of January after posting a 3-1 victory at New Jersey on Friday. Montreal can enter Saturday's contest feeling good about its power play, as it went 3-for-7 versus the Devils to mark the first time this season it converted three times in a game. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | UAB -5.5 v. Florida International | 85-94 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With veteran, highly-motivated UAB only one game behind C-USA leading Middle Tennessee State, must lay short price with surging Blazers (5 straight wins, 3-2 vs. spread), who’ve finally learned how to play at a high level without injured PG Nick Norton. Note, UAB had 5 DD scorers and dished out a whopping 25 assists in its convincing 94-78 home win over Marshall one week ago. So, look for overmatched, offensively-challenged FIU (4-15 so far this year)—which nails a weak 31.5% from downtown (298th nationally)—to drop to 0-6 as a home dog TY. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Western Kentucky v. Marshall -9 | 80-94 | Win | 100 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Without any exciting NFL televised playoff games to compete against, the Thundering Herd basketball team should be the center of attention this day in Huntington, WV. And run & gun Marshall (6-0 as a home favorite TY) should be eager to take the court after returning home from two straight road losses. The potent WKU football team showed no mercy in December vs. the rebuilding Herd, romping 60-6. So expect no let-up from Dan D’Antoni’s experienced Marshall hoopsters (six players in DDs) vs. the slower, weak-shooting Hilltoppers (only 43.9% FGs). |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Ole Miss -1.5 v. Missouri | 75-71 | Win | 100 | 18 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rebels are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, 25-10-2 ATS in their last 37 road games, and 9-4-2 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite. While the Tigers are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and 6-17-4 ATS in their last 27 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5. |

Rating: 2 Units With fast-paced BSU (79.6 ppg) looking to stay in the hunt in the MAC West race, strongly recommend revenge-minded Cards, who hit a season-low 4 of 25 from distance in their 76-71 home loss on Jan. 7. BSU’s solid inside-outside tandem of 6-6, 247-pound sr. F Franko House (12.6 ppg, 6.6 rpg) & 6-3 soph PG Tayler Persons (Northern Kentucky transfer; 15.4 ppg, 5.1 apg) have field days vs. softening Falcon D, yielding 77 points or greater in 4 of its last 6 games. Cards’ blossoming 6-9 soph C Trey Moses can lead his team to “promised land” after pouring in career-high 20 pts. (11 caroms & 4 blocks) in his team’s 98-83 win over Central Michigan on Tuesday. |

Rating: 2 Units Sedin isn't the only one with an eye on history, as Ryan Miller turned aside 30 shots on Tuesday to record his 38th career shutout and 353rd victory, matching Evgeni Nabokov for 20th on the NHL's all-time list. The 36-year-old Miller is 6-0-2 in his last eight starts overall and has won his last six home starts to improve to 11-4-1 with a 2.04 goals-against average at Rogers Arena. Daniel Sedin, who has 967 career points, scored in the last encounter versus Florida and has 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in 17 meetings with the club. Florida G Roberto Luongo has yielded four goals in back-to-back outings and in three of his last five. |

01-19-17 | Lightning v. Sharks -129 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose also could have Logan Couture (sickness) back in the lineup after the center missed Wednesday’s 3-2 victory at Los Angeles. The Sharks have won four of their last six contests after captain Joe Pavelski notched a power-play goal and defenseman Brent Burns registered his team-leading 19th tally of the season. |

01-19-17 | Capitals -130 v. Blues | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals finally had their nine-game winning streak snapped, even if it took eight goals from the reigning Stanley Cup champions to halt their run. Still, the Capitals are riding an 11-game point streak (9-0-2) as they continue their three-game road trip with a visit to the St. Louis Blues tonight. Washington appeared invincible during the latter portion of the winning streak, posting four shutouts and outscoring opponents 26-3 over a six-game span before losing an 8-7 slugfest in overtime at Pittsburgh on Monday in the opener of a three-game road trip. Capitals G Braden Holtby has yielded six goals in winning all four starts against the Blues. |

01-19-17 | Maryland +1.5 v. Iowa | 84-76 | Win | 100 | 23 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units .If Maryland could go into Michigan and win on Jan. 7 and then come right back to beat potent Indiana in its next game, no reason the Terps can't do the same at Iowa City. The Hawkeyes are leaning very heavily these days on 6-6 wing Peter Jok (22.6 ppg), and Iowa has looked a step slow on defense and on the glass in early Big Ten action. Meanwhile, Maryland continues to balance the floor, with touted 6-7 frosh Justin Jackson (11 ppg) now producing as advertised for the Terps, whose 6-4 sharpshooter Melo Trimble (17.5 ppg) will gladly take his chances in a shootout with Jok. |

01-19-17 | Senators v. Blue Jackets -172 | 2-0 | Loss | -172 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bobrovsky made a triumphant return to the crease following a three-game absence due to illness, turning aside 24 shots versus the Hurricanes. The 2013 Vezina Trophy winner has himself in a strong position to receive the hardware again at the end of this season with a league-best 27 wins to go along with a 1.97 goals-against average and .932 save percentage. Bobrovsky has permitted just 12 goals while recording a .952 save percentage to win his last nine home games, although he was blitzed for six goals the last time the Senators paid a visit to Nationwide Arena. Columbus has won 10 of its last 11 games at Nationwide Arena to improve to 17-4-1 at home this season. |

01-17-17 | Lightning v. Ducks -170 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anaheim has played more efficiently in its own zone through the last month and All-Star goaltender John Gibson has been outstanding - especially in January, as he has posted a 5-1-1 record and .956 save percentage over his last seven games. Captain Ryan Getzlaf notched an assist in Sunday’s setback to extend his point streak to five games and is tied with Corey Perry for second on the team in scoring at 33 points. Rickard Rakell scored for the second time in three games Sunday to tie Ryan Kesler (team-high 37 points - 15 on the power play) for the club lead with 18 goals. |

01-17-17 | San Diego State -5 v. UNLV | 64-51 | Win | 100 | 29 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units SDSU has already played its way out of any Big Dance at-large discussion for this season after three early losses in Mountain West action. To get a call from the Selection Committee, the Aztecs are going to have to win conference tourney, and they might as well take a practice run at the venue (Thomas & Mack Center) for that event. Regional sources still suggest the Aztecs have a significant talent edge on UNLV, which was routed in both games vs. Steve Fisher’s bunch last season. The Rebs’ recent win at New Mexico might be more an indictment of the Lobos, as several unsightly losses in past month are likely to be more indicative of how far new HC Marvin Menzies has to go before UNLV is on firmer footing. Last Tuesday’s thumping win over San Jose, and the first sighting of Mizzou transfer wing Montaque Gilll-Caesar (scored 10) since early in the season, might get SDSU back on track. |

01-17-17 | Blackhawks -165 v. Avalanche | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks lost their grasp on first place in the Central Division after losing consecutive contests to two of the best teams in the NHL. The Blackhawks look to regain their composure today when they pay a visit to the owner of the league's lowest point total in the Colorado Avalanche. The Avalanche, have dropped 10 of 12 overall and 12 of their last 13 at home. The latest knockout blow came on Saturday as rugged enforcer Cody McLeod - who was traded to Nashville on Friday - scored shortly after a video tribute in his honor to lead the Predators to a 3-2 triumph. |

01-17-17 | Vanderbilt +6.5 v. Georgia | 68-76 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units SEC sources report Vandy’s crafty 1st-year HC Byrce Drew has scrapped his 4-out,1-in attack for an offense that more closely resembles predecessor Kevin Stallings’ system, designed to find open shooters with backdoor cuts to loosen the defense. As a result, the Commodores gave powerful Kentucky a tussle in their 87-81 home loss on Tuesday. Better-balanced Vandy is likely to continue its pointspread surge (5 straight Ws prior to Tennessee on Saturday) vs. Georgia quintet, still heavily-reliant on G J.J. Frazier & F 6-8 jr. F Yante Maten for bulk of scoring. Moreover, Vandy is more deadly from downtown, nailing 10.3 triples pg at 39%, compared to only 5.3 pg at 31% for Dawgs. |

01-17-17 | Stars v. Rangers -163 | 7-6 | Loss | -163 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York is coming off losses to Toronto and Montreal on Friday and Saturday, respectively - the latter in which it squandered a third-period lead by allowing three goals in a span of 62 seconds midway through the session. Rick Nash scored in the setback against the Canadiens and also tallied in a 2-0 home triumph over the Stars on Dec. 15. Dallas also is looking to prevent a three-game slide after dropping a 4-1 decision in Buffalo on Monday. The Stars scored six goals in a victory at Los Angeles on Jan. 9 but have totaled just one in their last two road contests - both defeats. |

01-17-17 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets -150 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Atkinson is on pace for a career season in Columbus, as his current rate would shatter his personal-best totals of 27 goals and 53 points, respectively, set in the 2015-16 campaign. The 27-year-old Connecticut native's 19 power-play points (nine goals, 10 assists) led the NHL after Sunday's action. Fellow forward Boone Jenner is starting to ignite his offense after a sluggish start to the season, scoring two goals and setting up another during his three-game point streak after mustering just six tallies and five assists in his previous 39 contests. Carolina G Cam Ward is slated to make his 15th straight appearance on Tuesday, but his road mark of 5-9-5 leaves a bit to be desired. |

01-16-17 | Cavs v. Warriors -8 | 91-126 | Win | 100 | 25 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Round Two of rematch from last June’s Finals after Cleveland took narrow 109-108 decision on Xmas. Cavs rallied late that day, as they did last June, with Kyrie Irving’s jumper providing the winning points with 3.4 seconds to play. Since then, however, Cleveland has been a bit out of sorts, with only one spread cover next nine prior to Friday’s game at Sacramento. Cavs have added sharpshooter Kyle Korver from Atlanta in the interim. And while that figures to be a bonus later in season, Tyronn Lue now adjusting lineup combinations and rotations to accommodate Korver. Warriors winning but not covering (1-5 last six vs. line thru Jan. 11) in past two weeks. But doubt Golden State lacks focus (as has been the case at times this season, especially in recent lackluster SU wins vs. likes of Mavs, Nuggets, Heat, etc.) in title rematch. |

01-16-17 | Lightning v. Kings -145 | 2-1 | Loss | -145 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units he Tampa Bay Lightning begin a six-game road trip that could go a long way toward determining their playoff fate when they face the Los Angeles Kings this afternoon. The injury-ravaged Lightning began to put things together with points in six of seven games (4-1-2) before losing five of their last six, including a frustrating 3-1 setback against Columbus on Friday. Most of the issues for Tampa Bay have been in the defensive end of the rink, where it is allowing about one-half goal more per game than when it finished fifth in the league (2.41) in 2015-16 and reached the Eastern Conference finals. |

Rating: 2 Units Michael Hutchinson drew the start in net Saturday in place of the struggling Connor Hellebuyck, stopping 35-of-38 shots as Winnipeg – which entered Sunday tied with Philadelphia for most goals allowed in the NHL (139) – played better defensively. San Jose has allowed the fourth-fewest goals in the NHL (100) but has surrendered 18 in its last five games. Mikkel Boedker has registered four goals and two assists in his last six contests, including a hat trick Tuesday at Edmonton. |

01-16-17 | Canadiens -135 v. Red Wings | 0-1 | Loss | -135 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Montreal is coming off a comeback victory of its own, as it also made a 3-2 deficit disappear with three goals in a span of 62 seconds midway through the third session en route to a 5-4 home win over the New York Rangers. The Canadiens also received good news in the form of Alex Galchenyuk, who returned from a knee injury to score his 10th goal of the season in his first game since Dec. 4. The 22-year-old center burned Detroit for a tally and two assists in a pair of victories in November. |

Rating: 2 Units The Washington Wizards pulled above .500 with wins in four of the last five games and have not lost at home since Dec. 6. The Wizards will try to push their home winning streak to 12 in a row when they host the Portland Trail Blazers in the second of a three-game home stand. Portland, is 7-15 on the road and 5-8 against Eastern Conference opponents, is embarking on a four-game east coast trip. |

01-15-17 | Pistons v. Lakers +1.5 | 102-97 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Pistons will try to end their longest road trip of the season on a winning note when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers today. The Pistons opened their five-game trek with a dramatic double-overtime win at Portland but have offered little resistance ever since, dropping three in a row by an average of 19.7 points. The Lakers have won five straight meetings at home and Detroit is 0-6 ATS in their last six visits to the Staples Center. |
|||||||
01-15-17 | Bulls +9 v. Grizzlies | 108-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bulls snapped a three-game slide with a 107-99 triumph over New Orleans on Saturday. Jimmy Butler (illness) returned from a two-game absence to produce 28 points for Chicago. In an otherwise inconsistent season, Chicago has been steady on the glass, and it thrived in that department against the Pelicans. Taj Gibson secured a season-high 16 boards and the team recorded 21 on the offensive end - its most in nearly a year - with big man Robin Lopez grabbing nine of them. Veteran Dwyane Wade has scored 22 points in each of his last three games but will sit this one out to rest, likely giving the start to Jerian Grant. |

01-15-17 | Blues v. Ducks -155 | 2-1 | Loss | -155 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Anaheim Ducks attempt to extend their winning streak and increase their lead in the Pacific Division when they open a three-game homestand toay against the St. Louis Blues. Anaheim posted a 3-0 triumph at Arizona on Saturday for its third consecutive victory and has outscored the opposition 9-1 during the run. John Gibson, who has allowed a total of five goals with two shutouts in his last five starts, is expected to be back in the crease after serving as the backup during Jonathan Bernier's blanking of the Coyotes. |

01-15-17 | Steelers +2.5 v. Chiefs | 18-16 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In a '93 Wild Card meeting between these 2, the Chiefs beat the Steelers 27-24 in OT here. The QBs that day were Joe Montana & Neil O'Donnell. How time flies. Pittsburgh had its way with KC in their 1st meeting, with 300 passing yards (81.5%), and 5 touchdowns with 0 interceptions from Ben, while Bell ran for 144 yards (8.0 yards per rush). Can Pitt duplicate that? Of course not, but check a 215-133 point edge in its last 8 games, & from a an 0-4 SU run, to an 8-0 windup. Note Bell's 162 rushing yards vs Miami (post-season franchise record). Chiefs enter on 10-2 SU run (2 & 2 point losses). Chiefs rank just 20th on offense, & 23rd on defense. |
|||||||
01-15-17 | Wild +115 v. Blackhawks | 3-2 | Win | 115 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blackhawks saw their hold on first place in the Central slip away as Minnesota claimed the spot by posting a 5-4 in Dallas on Saturday. Jason Zucker snapped a third-period tie for the Wild, who watched an early 4-0 lead disappear before improving to 16-1-2 since the beginning of December. Minnesota, which has four games in hand on Chicago, hopes its offense remains in high gear after scoring a total of 12 goals in its last two contests. Minnesota swept its five-game series against Chicago last season. |
|||||||
01-15-17 | Packers v. Cowboys OVER 52 | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units There is little doubt that Dallas, well-rested after its bye week and its previous low-key effort in its finale at Philly, will do its share of scoring. Elliott should be quick on his feet after the time off and the Cowboys always have Romo in their back pocket in the event Prescott shows some rookie playoff difficulties. But even if Jordy Nelson’s rib injury is a concern, there is still plenty to be confident about the Packers’ scoring ability as long as G.B.’s OL can keep Rodgers upright and on the move. Green Bay has gone “over” its last five games, and nine of its last 11. Behind three first-team All-NFL O-linemen (LT Tyron Smith, C Travis Frederick, RG Zack Martin), Elliott should take lots of pressure off fellow rookie Prescott, allowing Dak a chance to do his thing with his fine cast of receivers, especially with the Packers thin in the secondary. Stopping Rodgers might prove to be a tougher task for Dallas. Look “over” for sure. |

01-15-17 | Massachusetts v. Rhode Island -11 | 77-79 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With A-10 challenger URI back at full strength with the recent return of previously-injured 6-7 sr. F Hassan Martin (14.6 pg, 7.5 rpg), have no reservations bucking UMass, still possibly floating on cloud nine following its upset of Dayton on Wednesday. The Minutemen’s array of fullcourt presses will likely backfire vs. the Rams’ swift & smooth backcourt trio of 6-3 jr. Jared Terrell (14.1 ppg), 6-5 jr. E.C. Matthews (15.1 ppg), and pass-first distributor 6-0 jr. Jarvis Garrett (7.9 ppg, 4.1 apg). Moreover, the Big Dance-seeking, careful Rams (only 10.9 TOs pg; 14th nationally) are itching for their revenge chance after their 67-62 upset loss to UMass in LY’s conference tourney. Note that the Minutemen rank near the bottom nationally in both 3-point shooting (29.8%) and free throw accuracy (64.2%). |

01-15-17 | Wolves +1.5 v. Mavs | 87-98 | Loss | -107 | 2 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves brought in head coach Tom Thibodeau over the summer in large part because of his reputation as a defensive mastermind, and the young roster might finally be buying into his philosophy. The Timberwolves will try to push their winning streak to four straight when they visit the Dallas Mavericks today. The winning streak began with a 101-92 home win over the Mavericks on Monday and continued to grow more impressive as Minnesota held a pair of playoff contenders and offensive powers down in wins over Houston and the Oklahoma City Thunder. |

01-14-17 | Texans v. Patriots -15 | 16-34 | Win | 100 | 24 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Patriots have been the standard for the past sixteen years, ever since shocking the football world with their '01 Super Bowl win over the Rams, as 2-TD underdogs. Went it without Brady for 1st 4 games, but still managed a 3-1 log without him, including a 27-0 whipping of the Texans, behind 3rd-string QB Brissett, despite a 284-282 yard deficit. Since Tom's return, the Pats averaging 30 points per game, with Brady at unimaginable 28 touchdowns with only 2 interceptions. The home team is 11-4-2 ATS in Houston games, while the favorite is on a 33-15 ATS run. Texans took Oakland, thanks to 3-0 turn over edge, & no veteran Raider QB. Osweiler came up empty in first game. |

01-14-17 | Santa Clara -3 v. Pepperdine | 75-61 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units WCC sources have alerted to a potential ascent at Santa Clara, as the Broncos are now getting a feel for the schemes of shrewd tactician and new HC Herb Sendek. Recent thumping wins over Portland and USF suggest the Broncos can deal with the middle and lower tiers of the WCC. Host Pep certainly resides at that lower level, having lost 11 of its last 12 prior to Thursday’s game at Pacific. SCU’s uptick in recent weeks has coincided with the return to active duty of soph G KJ Feagin (14.7 ppg), whose presence has removed some of the scoring burden from rapid-fire jr. G Jared Brownridge (17.1 ppg). The Waves’ Malibu-style defense (80 ppg ranks 320th; 47.3% FGs allowed ranks 317th) is aging beleaguered HC Marty Wilson. |

Rating: 2 Units The surging Minnesota Stars have failed to earn a point only once in their last 18 games as they prepare for a rugged back-to-back on the road against Central Division rivals. The Stars, in the midst of a 15-1-2 run since the beginning of December, visit the Dallas Stars today followed by a trip to Central-leading Chicago on Sunday. Minnesota had its 12-game winning streak snapped by Columbus on New Year's Eve but bounced back by going 3-0-1 in its next four, including a 7-1 thrashing of Montreal on Thursday. |

01-14-17 | Penguins -165 v. Red Wings | 3-6 | Loss | -165 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Captain Sidney Crosby is in the midst of a season-high four-game goal-scoring drought, which has followed a five-game streak that helped raise his league-leading total to 26. Detroit finally returns to Joe Louis Arena for a three-game homestand after going 2-3-2 on its seven-game road trip. The Red Wings have only three players with double-digit goal totals - including Dylan Larkin and rookie Anthony Mantha, who are tied for the team lead with 11 apiece. The 20-year-old Larkin, who netted 23 tallies as a rookie last season, has scored only twice in his last 14 contests. Detroit has gone 3-10-3 at home since winning its first four contests of the season in Hockeytown. |

Rating; 2 Units Joonas Korpisalo stopped 31 shots in his season debut as the Blue Jackets maintained their one-point lead over Washington in the Metropolitan Division. Columbus looks to extend that advantage against Florida, which has struggled mightily at home. The Panthers fell to 1-4-3 in their last eight contests at BB&T Center after dropping a 5-2 decision to the New York Islanders on Friday. All-Star Vincent Trocheck recorded a goal and an assist in the setback to forge a tie with Aleksander Barkov for the team scoring lead at 27 points. |

Rating: 2 Units After earning their first victory of the calendar year, the New York Islanders try to make it two in as many nights when they continue their three-game road trip Saturday against the home-dominant Carolina Hurricanes. Carolina improved to 13-1-1 on home ice since falling to Anaheim on Nov. 10 by posting a 5-2 win over Buffalo on Friday. Jeff Skinner leads the Hurricanes with 35 points and has recorded two straight three-point performances, including a two-goal, one-assist effort Friday. |

01-14-17 | Seahawks +6.5 v. Falcons | 20-36 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In an unusual twist, all 4 Divisional Playoff contests feature squads which have already met this season, with this one seeing the Seahawks taking a 26-24 win in the final 1:57. Ryan tossed 3 of his 38 TD passes in that frustrating affair. He has been magnificent all year: 4,948 yards, 70%, & 38 touchdowns with 7 interceptions. The Falcons are averaging 36.6 points per game in their last 7 home gamess. Can he do it vs this Seattle defense, which didn't allow the Lions to run any plays in the Red Zone? Seahawks are at 29.2 points per game in 8 of their last 10 games, & in off season-high 177 rushing yards. Matt's playoff record is 1-4 SU & 0-4-1 ATS, but did prevail vs Seattle, 30-28 in '12 Divisionals. Revenge, in an epic game. |

01-14-17 | Auburn v. Kentucky -24 | Top | 72-92 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 43 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NCAAB Play of the Day Kentucky coach John Calipari has the best seat in the house and it should only get better as his team - loaded with future pros - continues to mature. The Wildcats should have little trouble avenging a 75-70 loss to the Tigers in Auburn, Ala., last season that snapped an 18-game winning streak in the series. The Tigers could be without freshman forward Danjel Purifoy (13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds per game), the team's second-leading scorer and rebounder who missed Tuesday's 77-72 victory in Missouri because of an ankle injury. |

01-14-17 | Lakers v. Clippers -11 | 97-113 | Win | 100 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a major revenge game for Chris Paul and the Clippers. The Lakers upset the Clips 111-102 on Christmas Day, a victory that snapped an 11-game Laker losing streak in the series. The Clippers’ 6-game losing streak has been replaced with a current 5-game winning streak (4-1 vs. the points), and the Lakers continue to be inconsistent despite returning to relative good health (only backup F Larry Nance is out). Laker PG D’Angelo Russell is improving, and his size (6-5) and length would figure to give Paul some issues. However, the reality is Paul is averaging 18 pts., 10.5 assists, 6.8 rebs, and shooting 52% since returning from hamstring injury. |

Rating: 2 Units With league-worst Colorado in the midst of a wretched season, McLeod's departure could be the first of many moves as general manager Joe Sakic attempts to retool his roster with younger, faster players. The Avalanche have won only once in their last 12 home games (1-10-1) and have been limited to two goals or fewer in 11 of their last 12 overall. Nashville is 3-0-0 in the season series and has won its last three visits to Colorado, scoring five goals in each. |

Rating: 2 Units The Huskies are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win, 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games, 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and 55-27-1 ATS in their last 83 games as a road underdog. While the Tigers are 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as a home favorite. |

01-12-17 | College of Charleston v. James Madison +4.5 | 53-51 | Win | 100 | 24 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units CAA sources have issued an alert on JMU, which after a very difficult first six weeks of the season under new HC Louis Rowe has suddenly found some traction, with four straight wins, including double-digit jobs vs. capable CAA opponents Drexel & Towson, thru Jan. 6. Dukes stepping up the intensity on the stop end (Towson shackled with just 44 points, and Hofstra held to 54), while 6-7 sr. F Jackson Kent has suddenly turned into a scoring machine, tallying 20.3 points per game in win streak. Can't say much bad about Charleston, but would rather back Dukes and see how far uptick progresses. |
|||||||
01-11-17 | Rockets -3 v. Wolves | 105-119 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Houston Rockets typically have little trouble with Minnesota and look to defeat the host Timberwolves for the ninth consecutive time when the teams meet today. Minnesota gave Houston a battle on Dec. 17 before collapsing late in regulation and succumbing 111-109 in overtime to fall for the 12th time in its last 13 meetings with the Rockets. Houston rolls into town with a nine-game winning streak after Harden's latest sensational effort resulted in a 121-114 home win over Charlotte on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-09-17 | Stars v. Kings -155 | 6-4 | Loss | -155 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kings are 12-5 in their last 17 home games, 7-3 in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest, and 42-18 in their last 60 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. While the Stars are 2-8 in their last 10 road games and 0-5 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. |

01-09-17 | Clemson +6.5 v. Alabama | 35-31 | Win | 100 | 24 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating:2 Units A year ago, it was Clemson at 14-0, & Alabama at 13-1. In QB Watson, Clemson owns the best player in the nation. As I wrote a year ago, he is the quintessential movable QB. And he had the 'Tide on its heels for the entire game: 405 passing yards & 4 touchdowns with 1 interception, along with another 73 rushing yards. And how about a nice 550-473 yard edge over Alaama, which got the win thanks to TDs on: 50-yard run, 53-yard pass, 51-yard pass, & 95-yard kick off return. Throw in a successful onside kick. Tigers' total domination of Ohio State: 24-9 first down, 205-88 ruchinh yarx, & 265-127 passing yard edges, along with a 13 minute time edge, is reason enough to believe that Clemson simply rises to the occasion. Take the points. |
|||||||
01-09-17 | Mavs +4.5 v. Wolves | 92-101 | Loss | -103 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Timberwolves dropped their last four games to fall into the basement. The young Minnesota squad still struggles with closing out games and allowed the Utah Jazz to end the game on an 11-0 run in a 94-92 loss on Saturday, which marked the 12th time this season the team lost a game it led by 10 or more points. The Mavericks are finally fully healthy for the first time since training camp with J.J. Barea returning to the lineup on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-09-17 | Thunder v. Bulls +1.5 | 109-94 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler is pushing himself into the MVP discussion with his play of late while Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook has been in that debate since the start of the season. The two will square off against each other when the Bulls host the Thunder today. Butler is averaging 34.2 points in the last six games and led Chicago to wins over the top two teams in the Eastern Conference - Cleveland and Toronto - in the last two games. Chicago took both meetings last season by an average of 7.5 points. |
|||||||
01-08-17 | California +3 v. USC | 74-73 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units .Cal is shooting for a split in its trip to Los Angeles following spread-beating 81-71 loss at UCLA on Thursday. Hence, will grab any available points with defensively-sticky, fierce-boarding Bears (60.3 ppg & 37.5% FGs; +8.2 rebound margin). Cal’s double-double machine 6-11 F Ivan Rabb (15.2 ppg, 10.3 rpg) can exploit a USC frontline still missing injured 6-10 sophomore Bennie Boatwright, while 5-11 frosh G Charlie Moore (Chicago native; team-leading 15.3 ppg) continues to thrive under the spotlight. Bustling Bears have been highly-combative in every Pac-12 tilt L1+Ys, with their worst loss coming by 10 points vs. the mighty Bruins. Trojans on a 6-game spread losing skein (thru Jan. 4). Plus, the Tree’s top scorer, F Reed Travis, is out with a shoulder injury. |
|||||||
01-08-17 | Jazz +3 v. Grizzlies | 79-88 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is the last game of a 5-game trip for Utah, which shut down the Memphis attack when the two met Dec. 18 here. That victory made the Jazz 4-1 vs. the points in last 5 trips to Memphis. Jazz 7-1 C Rudy Gobert gives Grizzly pivot Marc Gasol headaches. The big Spaniard shot just 33% in first 2 meetings with the Jazz this season and only 35% last year. Hopefully Utah PG George Hill will be ready to go after sitting with concussion in last 3 games. |
|||||||
01-08-17 | Stanford v. UCLA -20 | 75-89 | Loss | -101 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Time for some UCLA payback after Bruins have absorbed several beatings from Stanford on both the hardwood and gridiron in recent years. And since Cardinal can't shoot 3s (only 30.3%), any comeback attempt will be that much tougher for the Palo Alto bunch. UCLA (94 ppg & 54.2% from floor) now back to full strength with 7-foot jr. C Thomas Welsh (11.1 ppg) having recently been reactivated from injury, and scoring 20 in close loss at Oregon after sitting out previous four games. Steve Alford also likely has troops playing through tape after easing up after big first half on Thursday vs. Cal. |
|||||||
01-08-17 | Predators v. Blackhawks -140 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Black Hawks are healthy again and that spells trouble for the rest of the NHL as they host the Nashville Predators today. With future Hall of Famer Marian Hossa back in the fold after missing five games with an upper-body injury and goaltender Corey Crawford fully recovered from an appendectomy, first-place Chicago appears poised to extend its two-point lead on Minnesota in the Central Division and the Western Conference. The Black Hawks are 15-4-4 at home after beginning a four-game homestand with two straight victories. |
|||||||
01-08-17 | Flyers v. Blue Jackets -170 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Just a few days ago, the league-leading Columbus Blue Jackets were on the verge of tying the NHL record for most consecutive victories. Things have changed as the Blue Jackets aim to avoid a third straight loss when they host the Metropolitan Division-rival Philadelphia Flyers today. Philadelphia is looking to halt its five-game skid on the road (0-4-1), where it hasn't won since edging Colorado 4-3 on Dec. 14. |
|||||||
01-08-17 | Giants +5.5 v. Packers | 13-38 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Here we go again. Giants' last 2 playoff trips to Green Bay resulted in upset wins & eventual Super Bowl upsets of the Patriots ('01 & '11). So NY is on a 9-1 ATS post season run, including 8-0 as an underdog. Six straight wins to wind up season for 'Pack, directly on heels of an 0-4 run. And Rodgers is a perfect 15 touchdowns with 0 interceptions during current 6-game run. Giants opened at 2-3, so a 9-2 SU & 7-3-1 ATS windup. This one will go to wire. |
|||||||
01-08-17 | Dolphins v. Steelers -11.5 | 12-30 | Win | 100 | 3 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Yet another veteran post-season outfit vs a novice. For Pittsburgh, this makes it 11 times in the last 16 years, & for Miami, its first in 8 years, & 2nd in 15 seasons. Dolphins did it with a 9-2 SU windup (7-2-2 ATS). They were smoking, behind RB Ajayi & QB Tannehill. But the latter is out. So note Fish with >222 RYs 3 times in last 11 games, but |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Lions +8.5 v. Seahawks | 6-26 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units We all know the story line behind this one, namely the fact that the Seahawks have won their last 9 home playoff games, while the Lions are on 0-10 SU road playoff run. Seattle is 8-4 SU, but 6-6 ATS in postseason play since '10, and is actually on an 0-4 ATS playoff run. The underdog is 9-3 ATS in Seattle games of late, while Lions have come from 6-1-1 ATS & 8-1 SU runs, to 0-4 ATS & 0-3 SU windup. Underdog call in this one. |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Islanders -130 v. Coyotes | 1-2 | Loss | -130 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Arizona Coyotes look to keep their winless streak from reaching double digits as they kick off a three-game homestand Saturday against the New York Islanders. Arizona suffered a 3-2 overtime loss in Anaheim on Friday to fall to 0-8-1 since recording a shootout victory at Toronto on Dec. 15. The Coyotes, who are just one point ahead of NHL-worst Colorado (27), also have struggled at home, winning just once in their last nine at Gila River Arena (1-6-2). |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Capitals -145 v. Senators | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals have to be wary of an emotional letdown when they visit the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night. The Capitals arrive in town on a four-game winning streak and are coming off a 5-0 thrashing of Columbus on Thursday that derailed the Blue Jackets' bid to match the longest winning streak in NHL history. Braden Holtby was pulled from Tuesday's 6-5 win over Toronto after allowing three goals on eight shots, but he responded by blanking Columbus, which entered Thursday's matchup on a 16-game game streak and leading the league in scoring. It was the fourth shutout of the season for the reigning Vezina Trophy winner. |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Texas-Arlington -9 v. Texas State | 73-81 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units .Methodical Texas State unsuccessfully tried to slow the pace in all 3 series losses a year ago, when more athletic UT Arlington was missing injured star 6-7 F Kevin Hervey (14.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg; 81% from foul line). With highly-experienced Sun Belt favorite Mavericks already notching impressive road wins vs. Texas and nationally-ranked Saint Mary’s during the preconference, won’t hesitate to lay single-digits in this relatively short 200-mile sojourn to San Marcos. Plus, the offensively-challenged Bobcats lack much comeback ability, canning only 29.5% from tripleville. |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Raiders v. Texans -3.5 | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units What a shame. Raiders make playoffs for 1st time since '02's Super Bowl loss to Tampa, only to lose their engine (Carr: 3,937 PYs, 28/6). Couldn't begin to stay with Denver LW (6 pts, 11 FDs), & Cook (for McGloin) is green. Visitor in Oakland games was 8-0 ATS, but home was 6-0-2 ATS down stretch. Texans were bombed, 30-0 by KC, here, in LY's Wild Card round (5-1 TO deficit), & are also experiencing a fluid QB situation. Home team and favorire are 10-4-2 & 32-15 ATS in Houston games. Take Houston |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Wild +118 v. Kings | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild didn't let a New Year's Eve misstep trip them up as their NHL fourth-ranked offense ignited them to their 13th win in 14 outings overall and seventh straight on the road. The Wild look to add to both streaks today as they play the second contest of three consecutive against the California contingent with a visit to Staples Center to face the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings certainly are in need of some offense as they were shut out for the fifth time this season and second in nine games (3-4-2) with Thursday's 4-0 setback against Detroit to begin their seven-game home stand. |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Creighton -4 v. Providence | 78-64 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units .Deep, explosive, straight-shooting CU (88.1 ppg; 53.6% FGs) is running on all cylinders with the start of Big East play, evidenced by its spread-covering 85-72 victory at resurgent St. John’s on Wednesday. With the highlyranked, laser-focused Bluejays in double-revenge mode here, must buck undersized Providence, which is ill-equipped to cope with CU’s emerging 7-0 soph C Justin Patton (13.9 ppg, 6.5 rpg). Also, envision the Bluejays’ speedy, marvelous floor leader 5-10 sr. Maurice Watson Jr. (13.3 ppg; nation-leading 8.8 apg) clearly outdueling Friar counterpart Kyron Cartwright. |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Pittsburgh +3 v. Syracuse | 66-77 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Panthers are coming off their own impressive win after an 88-76 overtime victory Wednesday against No. 12 Virginia and appear to be hitting their stride under first-year coach Kevin Stallings. Pitt has won six of its last seven and have the ACC’s top two scorers in forward Michael Young (22.7) and guard Jamel Artis (21.4). |
|||||||
01-06-17 | Coyotes v. Ducks -220 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Anaheim Ducks are riding high at the Honda Center and will put their seven-game home point streak (6-0-1) on the line today against a reeling Arizona Coyotes squad that has lost eight in a row overall. John Gibson has been the primary reason for the Ducks' ascent in the Pacific Division, improving to 4-0-3 in his last seven starts with a 23-save performance in a 2-0 shutout of Detroit on Wednesday. |
|||||||
01-06-17 | Islanders -129 v. Avalanche | 1-2 | Loss | -129 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Captain John Tavares collected a goal and an assist in a 6-2 victory over Winnipeg on New Year's Eve and resides two points shy of becoming the 10th player in Islanders' history with 500 career points. The team's offense certainly has improved as it has erupted for 55 goals in the last 16 games (3.43 average) after mustering just 48 in the initial 20 (2.40) of the season. While the scoring barrage has been a welcome sight in Brooklyn, Colorado has mustered just 17 goals en route to losing 10 of its last 11 games heading into the opener of a four-game home stand. |
