01-05-20 | Lightning +113 v. Hurricanes | 3-1 | Win | 113 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning have built a season-high, six-game winning streak entirely against their own Atlantic Division foes and will finally try someone else Sunday when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes of the Metropolitan. The Lightning have won 14 straight against Atlantic Division opponents after rallying with three third-period goals for a 5-3 victory at Ottawa on Saturday, improving to 3-0-0 on a four-game road trip. Tampa Bay G Andrei Vasilevskiy, who was rested Saturday, owns a .929 save percentage during his current four-game winning streak. |

01-05-20 | Seahawks v. Eagles +1 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Much like the Patriots, can the Seahawks get over the letdown of playing this weekend? That delay-of-game penalty from the Niners' 1-yard line with 22 seconds to go could end up haunting them forever, made all the more maddening was Beast Mode was about to take it in. Wentz is the first Eagle QB to pass for over 4,000 yards in a season, despite that poor start. A season of streaks for Philly, as 3 straight losses seemed to eliminate them from post-season play, only to follow that up with season-ending run, while topping 30 pts in 3 of their last 5 outings. A huge turnover edge for the Seahawks in this one. Call a levelling of that stat, resulting in playoff home call. |

01-05-20 | La Salle -2 v. Fordham | 66-60 | Win | 100 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units La Salle is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite, 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and 17-5-1 ATS in their last 23 road games following three or more consecutive home games. While Fordham is 16-36 ATS in their last 52 home games, 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog, and 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS win. |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Vikings v. Saints -7.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Not the best of times for Minnesota to show its kryptonite, losing back-to-back games for the first time all year, altho they didn't play anyone in last week's |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Rangers v. Canucks -150 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers look to finish off their four-game road trip on a winning note today when they face a red-hot Vancouver Canucks squad which is aiming for a seventh consecutive victory. The Rangers have recent experience ending win streaks as they snapped Toronto’s six-game run to open their road trip, but have since surrendered 11 goals during a pair of losses to Edmonton and Calgary. The Rangers allowed the Oilers to build a 6-0 lead on New Year’s Eve in what was ultimately a 7-5 setback, while on Thursday they gave up two breakaway goals to the Flames within the first eight minutes of the game and finished on the losing end of a 4-3 decision. Vancouver’s sixth straight win was in doubt on Thursday against Chicago as the Canucks found themselves down by two midway through the second frame before they stormed back to earn a 7-5 victory. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Hornets v. Mavs -11.5 | 123-120 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Mavericks have yet to drop three straight games this season and made sure they wouldn't when they opened a six-game homestand by cruising past the Brooklyn Nets 123-111 on Thursday. The Mavericks will try to make it two consecutive victories when they host the Charlotte Hornets today. Dallas closed out a three-game road trip by averaging 98 points in losses at the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder but got the offense back in gear while shooting 50 percent from the floor and knocking down 18 3-pointers against the Nets. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Titans v. Patriots -4 | 20-13 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New England Patriots were all but penciled in for a first-round bye, needing only to beat lowly Miami at home in their regular-season finale to clinch the No. 2 seed in the AFC. Instead, after a stunning 27-24 loss to the Dolphins, New England will play in the wild-card round for the first time since 2009 when it hosts the Tennessee Titans today night. Bidding to advance to the Super Bowl for a fourth consecutive season, the Patriots failed to earn a bye for only the fourth time in 17 trips to the postseason dating to 2001. Brady has a record 16 300-yard games in the playoffs, including 12 straight with at least 250 yards passing. Clinchers:Â Titans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in New England while the Patriots are 42-20-3 ATS in their last 65 home games. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Nuggets -11.5 v. Wizards | 114-128 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets attempt to win for the 11th time in 13 contests when they visit the Washington Wizards on Saturday. The talented Denver squad is now also receiving a boost from rookie forward Michael Porter Jr., who scored a season-best 25 points on 11-of-12 shooting in Thursday's 124-116 road win over the Indiana Pacers. Porter missed all of last season due to a back injury and has recently begun to make an impact by averaging 15.5 points over the past four games while making 26-of-35 field-goal attempts. The Wizards were outclassed 122-103 by the visiting Portland Trail Blazers on Friday and have lost 16 of their past 21 games. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Thunder -6.5 v. Cavs | 121-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder are winners of four straight and eight of their last nine games and kicked off a four-game road trip with a 109-103 win at San Antonio on Thursday. The Thunder will try to earn their fourth consecutive road win when they continue the trip by visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers today. Oklahoma City is generating offense from defense during the hot stretch and is holding opponents to an average of 100.8 points over the last four contests. The Cavaliers squandered a nine-point lead with just over 5 1/2 minutes left at home against Charlotte on Thursday and dropped a 109-106 decision for their third loss in four games. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Penguins +102 v. Canadiens | 3-2 | Win | 102 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Montreal Canadiens are mired in a four-game skid, and the cause for concern that comes with being on the wrong end of the scoreboard has led to the team shuffling the deck with its roster. Fresh off the acquisition of Ilya Kovalchuk and a pair of trades, the Canadiens look to get back on track against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins today. The injury narrative is nothing new for Pittsburgh, which has endured more than its fair share this season but still sports a 10-2-1 mark in its last 13 games. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Texas A&M v. Arkansas -14 | 59-69 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arkansas goes for a fourth straight victory when it opens SEC play at home today against Texas A&M. The Razorbacks are coming off a win at Indiana on Sunday, while the Aggies just got by Texas Southern on Monday for their third consecutive victory. Coach Buzz Williams hasn't seen a lot of offense from his team in his first season at the helm of Texas A&M, as it ranks last in the SEC in scoring by nearly 10 points - averaging just 57.7 points. Senior forward Josh Nebo and junior swingman Savion Flagg are the only two Texas A&M players averaging in double figures in scoring at 11.4 and 11.3 points, respectively. Arkansas has been nearly perfect this season, thanks in no small part to its defense, which ranks No. 1 in the nation in defending the 3-point shot - holding opponents to just 21.9 percent from beyond the arc. Offensively, the Razorbacks have a trio of dynamic guards in Mason Jones (19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds), Isaiah Joe (17.4, 4.7) and Jimmy Whitt Jr. (13.5, 5.6) leading the way for first-year coach Eric Musselman. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Alabama +7.5 v. Florida | 98-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the first time since 2008, Alabama and Florida meet in their SEC opener as they battle in Gainesville this evening. The Gators closed out their up-and-down nonconference slate with a dominant 102-63 triumph over Long Beach State while the Crimson Tide head into conference play on a roll, winning three straight and five of the last six after beating Richmond 90-78 on Sunday. Alabama scored at least 90 points in those last three victories, the first time since the 2000-01 season that the Crimson Tide has hit that mark in three straight games. Along the way, they averaged 95.7 points and shot 49.7 percent from the field, including 44.9 percent from deep. But while the Crimson Tide seem to be on the rise after their 2-4 start in coach Nate Oats' first season at the helm, the Gators remain inconsistent, following up their last two wins with losses as they wrapped up one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the country. Making matters even more difficult, Florida may face the high-scoring Tide without its best defender as guard Scottie Lewis may miss his second straight game with a concussion. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Bills +3 v. Texans | 19-22 | Push | 0 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Buffalo has slowly leaned on Devin Singletary in the backfield, and the rookie has paid dividends with a robust 5.1 yards per carry that ranks fifth best in the NFL. John Brown led the team with 72 receptions and 1,060 yards while his six touchdown catches were tied with Cole Beasley. The Bills' bread and butter resides on the other side of the ball, as its stingy defense ranked second in the regular season in scoring (16.2 points allowed per game) and third in total yardage allowed (298.2). Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White, who shared the NFL lead with six interceptions, will draw the assignment of guarding Hopkins. Buffalo tied a franchise record with six wins on the road this season. Watson didn't fare well in his last meeting with the Bills, as he was sacked seven times, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Jets +123 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild currently are five games into a stretch where they play 18 of 22 contests at home, but enter today’s home matchup with the Winnipeg Jets needing a spark after losing two straight. The Wild are 1-3 on home ice during the start of the stretch, which began with an ugly 6-0 loss to the Jets on Dec. 21, and gave up the game’s first three goals in a 4-1 loss Tuesday to Toronto to enter the new year fifth in the Central Division. Minnesota is 5-6-1 in its past 12 games since a five-game winning streak from Nov. 26-Dec. 5, giving up 3.7 goals per game in that span while going 3-3-1 at home. The Jets, who are 12-7-1 away from home, open a four-game road trip and play seven of their next 10 on the road. Winnipeg has outscored the Wild 11-2 in winning the first two meetings this season. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Tulane -7 v. Southern Miss | Top | 30-13 | Win | 100 | 63 h 23 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Bowl Mismatch of the Month The Wave normally rests up during the bowl season, with last year's 41-24 Cure Bowl win (-3½) over La-Lafayette just its 3rd such game since 1998. Thus, this marks their 2nd straight bowl season, something which hasn't happened in Tulane link history since '79 & '80. And the Greenies have won 3 of their last 4 bowls ('98, '02, '18). 'Wave is 5-1 ATS as the chalk this year |
|||||||
01-03-20 | Knicks v. Suns -6.5 | 112-120 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Knicks are suddenly a competitive team under interim coach Mike Miller and will try to extend their season-best winning streak to four in a row when they open a four-game winning trip by visiting the Phoenix Suns on Friday. The Knicks are 6-6 under Miller after beginning the season 4-18. New York held the Portland Trail Blazers to 39.4 percent shooting in a 117-93 victory on Wednesday to celebrate the new year as Julius Randle continued his strong run with 22 points and 13 rebounds to lead a balanced effort. The Suns dropped nine of their last 11 games. |
|||||||
01-03-20 | Temple v. Tulsa +2 | 44-70 | Win | 100 | 24 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden Hurricane's last game Sunday was a competitive 69-67 loss at Kansas State in which the team employed a balanced attack, as 10 players registered 2-to-12 points and nobody took more than nine shots. LSU transfer Brandon Rachal (team highs of 14.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 steals) was held to single-digit points for the first time since early November. Darien Jackson (9.3 points) continued his sizzling play of late as he added 10 points Sunday and the junior guard is 21-of-31 from the field over the last five outings. |
|||||||
01-03-20 | 76ers v. Rockets -4.5 | 108-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units James Harden missed his first game of the season last Sunday (a 127112 loss at New Orleans) due to an injury but he put his toe issue behind him with a 35-point effort in Tuesday's 130-104 rout of the visiting Denver Nuggets. 23-11 Houston has won EIGHT of its last 11 in an attempt to chip away at the 27-7 Lakers, 24-10 Nuggets and 25-11 Clippers atop the West Conference standings. Visiting Houston tonight will be the 23-11 Philadelphia 76ers, who after beating the Bucks 121-109 on Christmas Day, have lost THREE in a row. The 76ers were routed 115-97 by the host Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, a game in which they trailed by as many as 36 points. |
|||||||
01-03-20 | Hawks v. Celtics -10.5 | 106-109 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boston is pretty clearly one of the best teams in the league. Only Milwaukee (+13.0) has a better net efficiency rating. At home, the Celtics are beating teams by an average of nearly 10 points/game. They've won 10 of 13 overall and are 13-2 SU at home this year. While Boston is one of the league's best, Atlanta is one of the worst and maybe THE worst. They are tied with Cleveland for the worst net efficiency in the league (-10.5), have the worst point differential and fewest wins. The Hawks did win their last game, 101-93, a big upset of Orlando as 10.5 point dogs. But that was at home and there's a big difference between hosting Orlando and playing at Boston. Before that upset, the Hawks had lost 10 in a row. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | California v. Stanford -12.5 | 52-68 | Win | 100 | 27 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Two teams picked to finish near the bottom of the Pac-12 look to start conference play on a winning note Thursday when California visits rival Stanford. Cal is rebuilding after winning eight games in each of the past two seasons, while Stanford opened with an 11-1 mark before committing 19 turnovers in last Sunday’s 72-56 loss to No. 3 Kansas. Stanford leads the Pac-12 in scoring defense at 58.8 points per game while Cal is 6-2 at home this season and 0-5 away from Haas Pavilion. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Oregon +1.5 v. Colorado | 65-74 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Oregon is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS win, 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games as a favorite. While Colorado is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog, 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win, and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Thunder v. Spurs -2 | 109-103 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The streaking Oklahoma City Thunder look for their fourth straight victory and eighth in the past nine games when they visit the San Antonio Spurs today. But Oklahoma City could find it tough sledding in the opener of a four-game road trip as it has dropped nine straight games in San Antonio. The Spurs have gone 7-4 after a 7-14 start and they ended 2019 on a good note with a 117-113 overtime win over the visiting Golden State Warriors. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Warriors v. Wolves -3 | 84-99 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Golden State is 17-35-2 ATS in their last 54 games following a ATS win, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, 5-18 ATS in their last 23 Thursday games and 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Minnesota.. While Minnsesota. While Minnesota is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Texas-Arlington v. Arkansas State +3 | 73-52 | Loss | -108 | 24 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Texas Arlington is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games, 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite, and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. While Arkansas State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games, and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Raptors v. Heat -5.5 | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Heat already hammered the Raptors, at Toronto. Playing at home, they should have the advantage once again. While the Raptors are a modest 9-6 on the road, the Heat are a dominant 15-1 here at home. Thats the fewest homecourt losses of any team in the league. They've outscored visiting teams by an average margin of 12 points, an average score of 117.7 to 105.8. By comparison, the champs only outscore teams 106.9 to 103.3 on the road. With the Raptors just 1-3 ATS when attempting to avenge a "same season loss," consider laying the points with Miami. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Boston College v. Cincinnati -7 | Top | 6-38 | Win | 100 | 46 h 24 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Bowl Game of the Day For the 'Cats, they've played in 17 bowls, with an 8-9 SU record, with this one making it 16 in the last 23 seasons. Hardly competitive in '13 Belk, '14 Military, & '15 Hawaii, before last year's thrilling 35-31 win over Virginia Tech, also in the Military, which featured 7 lead changes. Accolades to their defensive front 7, holding 6 opponents to 14 points, or less. Offensively balanced behind QB Ridder (25 touchdowns and 9 interceptions), with 545 rushing yards, & RB Warren (14 TDs), they should continue vs lacking Eagle defense. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Baylor v. Georgia -4 | Top | 14-26 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Bowl Game of the Month From 1996-2009, BU suffered through 14 straight losing seasons. But the arrival of QB Robert Griffin, & head coach Art Briles did wonders, with seven straight winning seasons, including 4 double digit victory campaigns, ranking 1st in both scoring & total "O" in '13 & '14. But then a scandal resulting in a 1-11 record in '17. However a quick recovery, & a 45-38 win over Vandy in '18 Texas Bowl (30 first downs, 668 yards). This year, they've tasted defeat only twice, both to Oklahoma, in similarly tight 34-31 & 30-23 (OT) finals. But a closer look shows the Bears with 34-18, 21-8 first down & 228-113, 239-116 rushing yard deficits. And QB Brewer is still questionable (concussion). Can the Bulldogs learn from last year's Sugar Bowl loss, as well last month's embarrassing 37-10 rout vs LSU in the SEC title game? Note that Georgia has allowed just 1 rushing TD all year, ranking 3rd, 2nd, & 4th in rushing, scoring, & total defense. Stats favor the 'Dawgs. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Magic v. Wizards +4 | 122-101 | Loss | -104 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington is 4th in the league in offensive efficiency (trail only Dallas, Milwaukee & Houston) and third in points per game. So no matter who is on the floor for them tonight, expect lots of points. The opponent couldn't be more different. Orlando is dead last in the league in scoring at 102.9 PPG. They just lost to Atlanta, at home, 101-93 as 10.5 point favorites. The Magic can play defense as is evident by the fact they are allowing only 104.8 PPG this year. But they allow 108.4 on the road where they have won just four times all year. Difficult to back this team as a road favorite. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Michigan v. Alabama -7 | Top | 16-35 | Win | 100 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Bowl Game of the Day Fifth straight bowl for Wolves, since the arrival of Harbaugh, 9th in the last 10 years, & 48th overall. The downside shows UM losing its last 3 bowls: 33-32 in '16 Orange (89 rushing yards vs Florida State), 26-19 in '17 Outback (led South Carolina, 19-3 in 3rd), & 41-25 in '18 Peach (257-77 rushing yard deficit vs Florida). Ranking 6th in total "D" this year didn't prevent their normal wipe out loss to Ohio State (56-27), with a 264-91 rushing yard deficit. Wolves 6-15 SU in bowls after ending the regular season with a loss. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Minnesota v. Auburn -6.5 | 31-24 | Loss | -118 | 21 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As per usual, the Tigers are a force: 7 bowls in Malzahn's 7 years (2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS): consecutive 34-31 losses in '13 & '14 (BCS Championship & Outback), while making up for 34-27 '17 Outback Bowl loss to UCF, with '18's 63-14 Music City stomping of Purdue, with a 586-263 yard edge. This season was highlighted by bookend wins over Oregon (overcoming 21-6 deficit in 3rd, winning on 26-yard TD pass in final 0:09) & Alabama (2 "pick-6" TDs, one of 100-yards). QB Nix ranks 86th in passing efficiency (56%), while AU's overland game has been bested just 3 times, with each coming in their only SU losses (Florida, Lsu, & Georgia). Quality of opposition is all in Auburn's corner. |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Blues +100 v. Coyotes | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues put their eight-game winning streak on the line when they start a three-game road trip today against the Arizona Coyotes. St. Louis, which leads the Central Division by eight points, has outscored its foes 33-16 during the run after a completing a home-and-home sweep of Winnipeg 4-1 on Sunday, invoking memories of their dash to the title. Arizona has lost three straight after a 4-2 setback to Dallas on Sunday and fell into third place in the Pacific Division, where four points separate the top five teams. |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Mavs -3.5 v. Thunder | 101-106 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units OKC isn’t healthy, with #2 scorer Danilo Gallinari and #3 scorer Dennis Schroeder both dealing with injury concerns. The Thunder haven’t exactly been beating up on elite teams during this run; not a team that has stepped up in class particularly well this year. Dallas hasn’t forgotten the 20 point beatdown they took on this floor on New Year’s Eve last year, and the Mavs have been money in the bank off a loss like the one they suffered to the Lakers over the weekend; 9-1 SU, 8-2 ATS in their next game following a defeat. Rick Carlisle’s squad is road chalk here for a reason; worth supporting whether Tim Hardaway suits up or not tonight! |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Clippers -7 v. Kings | 105-87 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Clippers also have won nine straight overall games against the Kings after sweeping last season's four meetings. Sacramento enters this contest in the midst of a deep slump that has seen it lose a season-worst seven consecutive games following Sunday's 120-115 road loss to the Denver Nuggets. Los Angeles suffered a 120-107 home loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday in a contest in which Montrezl Harrell sat out with the flu while Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were also hampered by the illness. |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Kansas State v. Navy -2.5 | Top | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 43 h 19 m | Show |
Rating: 5 Unit Bowl Game of the Year For the Middies, it's the same old thing: rushing. They lead the nation in the run, after finishing at #5 in last year's embarrassing 10-loss campaign. QB Perry, of course, is the key, with 1,804 rushing yards, 6.8 yards per rush, & 21 TDs. In Mids' showdown games with Houston, & Army, he guided Navy to 447-134, 395-123 rushing yard edges in 56-41 & 31-7 wins, personally rushing for 304 yards vs the Cadets. Defensively, Navy has improved, dramatically, coming from 89th in rushing "D", to 17th this year, & from 111th in total defense, to 20th this time around. The spread on this game has moved about a FG, after Middies dominated Army. Tenth bowl for Niumatalolo, who has made drastic changes, paying off with this year's 21st-ranking in the polls. SU winner pays off |

12-31-19 | Celtics -6.5 v. Hornets | 109-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics aim to bounce back from their most lopsided loss of the season when they visit the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday for a New Year's Eve matinee. After winning five in a row by an average of 16.2 points, the Celtics fell 113-97 to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday for their second home loss in 15 tries. That rare clunker for the Celtics came six days after a 119-93 win over Charlotte at home in which Boston's Jayson Tatum scored a career-high 39 points. The Hornets have lost two more since then to stretch their losing streak to five in a row, tied for their longest this season. They started slow and never recovered in a 117-104 loss at Memphis on Sunday. |

12-31-19 | Northern Iowa -5.5 v. Illinois State | 70-76 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Northern Iowa is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win, 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games as a favorite, and 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 Tuesday games. While Illinois State is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog, 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall, and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. |

12-31-19 | Bruins -175 v. Devils | 2-3 | Loss | -175 | 16 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins managed to survive their worst rut of the season and are still maintaining a double-digit lead atop the Atlantic Division. The Bruins go for their fourth consecutive victory overall and look to complete a three-game season sweep of New Jersey when they close out the 2019 calendar year with a visit to the Devils this afternoon. Jake DeBrusk scored twice in a span of 18 seconds as Boston extended its winning streak to three following a 1-4-4 swoon by completing a home-and-home sweep with a 3-2 victory over visiting Buffalo on Sunday. |

12-30-19 | Virginia v. Florida -14 | Top | 28-36 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 47 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Bowl Game of the Month This season, Gators only missteps came in 42-28 & 24-17 losses to top-ranked LSU, & 5th-ranked Georgia. Not bad company. In both games, Gators' top defensive performer (LB Greenard) was either out, or under the weather. In that loss to LSU, the Gators (+14) led 28-21 halfway thru the 3rd, (3 QB Trask TD passes), before an 0-21 windup, & eventual push. Loss to Georgia featured an anemic 119-21 rushing yard deficit, reflective of Gators' 121st ranking in overland production. However, QB Trask is at 67.8%, with a sweet 24/6 TD to INT ratio. Defensively? Try 14th, 17th, 7th, 10th, in run, pass, scoring, & total. Two months have passed since Florida's last loss, while the Cavs demoralized by 62-17 loss to Clemson in ACC title match, allowing 619 yards. Defensive comparisons, & history favor Gators. |

12-30-19 | Bucks -8 v. Bulls | 123-102 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A break in the schedule is giving Giannis Antetokounmpo time to rest an achy back while the Milwaukee Bucks continue to pile up wins. Antetokounmpo is questionable to return to the lineup when the Bucks take on their third consecutive sub-.500 foe while visiting the Chicago Bulls today. Antetokounmpo sat out Friday at Atlanta and again Saturday at home against Orlando and watched his teammates breeze by the pair of struggling teams by an average of 18.5 points, led by power forward Ersan Ilyasova. Milwaukee is enjoying an eight-game winning streak in the series and pulled off a 115-101 victory at Chicago in the most recent meeting on Nov. 18. |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Nets -2 v. Wolves | 115-122 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves are losers of 12 of their last 13 games and returned from a road trip with a dud on Saturday, dropping a 94-88 decision to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Timberwolves will take another crack at finding the win column when they host the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest, 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Monday games, and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. |
|||||||

Rating: 2 Units Yale is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While North Carolina is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win. |

12-29-19 | Mavs +4 v. Lakers | 95-108 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mavericks cruised to a 141-121 win at Golden State on Saturday behind another triple-double from Doncic, improving to 12-3 on the road. They already have a win at Los Angeles to their credit after picking up a 114-100 victory over the Lakers on the road December 1. The clincher:Â Dallas is 36-17 ATS in their last 53 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Thunder +4 v. Raptors | 98-97 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder battled back over .500 with a hard-fought win at Charlotte on Friday. They'll try to move two games over the even mark for the first time this season when they face a stiff test at the Toronto Raptors. Oklahoma City has won four in a row at Toronto. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Devils v. Senators -130 | 4-3 | Loss | -130 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Senators are 11-5-1 at the Canadian Tire Centre, including 4-0-1 in the last five, and won the first of three meetings with the Devils 4-2 on Nov. 13 in New Jersey with a hat trick from Pageau. The Devils have lost three of four after falling 5-4 against Toronto at home on Friday when defenseman Damon Severson scored into his own net while trying to clear a puck to the back boards in overtime. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Steelers v. Ravens +2 | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 25 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ravens clinched #1 seed with that comeback win cover vs the Browns. Eleven straight wins, with a current 8-1 spread run, enabling them to rest anyone, but 3 weeks could make them rusty. You know they want to knock out the Steelers with a win here, however they need to give Ingram a break, after leaving last week's game with that calf injury. Jackson now 36 touchdowns with 6 interceptions, with another 103 rushing yards in Cleveland. Astounding. Pitt needs a win, & a Titan loss for a playoff slot. Have lost 7+ games for 1st time since '13. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Raiders v. Broncos -3 | 15-16 | Loss | -125 | 25 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Believe it, or not, the Raiders are not out of it yet, needing losses by Tenn & Pitt, a Colts' win, & a win over these Broncos, to grab the #6 spot. Piece of cake. Carr's best game of the year in last week's upset of the Chargers (26/30, 291 yards, TD pass, & TD run), on their way to first sweep of the Bolts in 3 years. Broncos have come full cycle since opening up at 0-4, & failing to top 16 points in 6 of their first 8 games. Three straight home wins for first time in 3 years, with Lock now 3-1 since taking over under center. And check RB Lindsay, with Broncos 5-0 when he surpasses he century mark. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Redskins v. Cowboys -12 | 16-47 | Win | 100 | 25 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Redskins have lost 7+ home games for only the 2nd time in franchise history (1994). Also 9 straight division losses for first time since '93-'94, although Keenum came in & played great for injured Haskins (16-of-22, TD pass, TD run). Dak was off in last week's loss to the Eagles, although the Boys had 6 dropped passes. Still can't believe that Zeke had only 13 carries with everything on the line with a banged up QB. So 8-game NFC East winning streak was snapped. But a win here, & Giant win over Philly, will snag Wild Card. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Chargers v. Chiefs -8 | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 21 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chiefs are playing some of their best ball of the season. During these 5 straight wins, their "D" is giving up fewer than 10 points per game. Back-to-back weeks of holding their opponents to 3 points. Hard to believe that the Chargers won a playoff game in Baltimore last year. Bolts now 0-5 in the division & have lost 10+ games for the first time in Lynn's tenure as head coach. Six home losses for 1st time in 16 years, but can you really call them home games, with all the opposing fans there? Can't buck KC. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Packers v. Lions +13.5 | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 21 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Eight straight losses for the Lions, for the first time in seven years, with their 3-11-1 log their worst start in 10 years. And that, after opening the season at 2-0-1. So back-to-back 10-loss seasons. Could this be it for Patricia? Seems crazy how Belichick's disciples struggle as head coaches. Home field hardly favors Detroit, as the Lions are on a 2-8 spread run when hosting NFC opponents. However, in somewhat of a shocker, Detroit has covered its last 5 games with the Packers. So why not try it again? |
|||||||
12-29-19 | West Virginia v. Ohio State -6 | 67-59 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units West Virginia has bounced back from a subpar 2018-19 season and lost only at St. John's in its first 11 games, but its schedule hasn't been as challenging as Ohio State's. That's about to change with today's matchup against the Buckeyes and a visit to No. 5 Kansas' Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 4.  Ohio State leads the country in scoring margin, beating its opponents by an average of 21.8 points per game. |

12-28-19 | Jazz v. Clippers -8.5 | 120-107 | Loss | -102 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Utah is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While Los Angeles is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game, 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. |

12-28-19 | Kings v. Canucks -156 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vancouver entered its holiday break on a high note by securing three consecutive victories over teams currently holding playoff positions - Vegas, Pittsburgh and Edmonton. The Canucks will look to keep it going today when they finish off a five-game home stand against Los Angeles, which they’ve outscored 13-5 in two games this season. The Canucks became the first team this season to earn a win against Edmonton when trailing after two periods as rookie defenseman Quinn Hughes recorded his first career game-winning goal to help lift Vancouver to a 4-2 triumph over the Oilers on Monday. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Pistons v. Spurs -4.5 | 109-136 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Antonio shot an NBA season-best 67.4 percent from the floor in a 145-115 win at Memphis on Monday but returned from a holiday break and needed to score the game's final 13 points to make it respectable in a 102-98 loss at Dallas on Thursday. The Spurs traded wins and losses over their last eight games but are opening a three-game homestand on Saturday, and the team is 8-8 in its own building. The Pistons were losers of five in a row and got bullied on the inside in a 125-109 home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday |
|||||||
12-28-19 | 76ers v. Heat -1 | 116-117 | Push | 0 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Miami standout Jimmy Butler hasn't fared well against his former teammates this season but gets a third chance when the Heat host the Philadelphia 76ers today. Butler averaged 12.5 points as the teams split two meetings in Philadelphia, scoring 11 in a 113-86 loss Nov. 23 and 14 in a 108-104 victory Dec. 18. Butler scored 20 points in Friday's 113-112 home win over the Indiana Pacers but it was point guard Goran Dragic who made the decisive shot with 6.8 seconds remaining. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Knicks -1.5 v. Wizards | 107-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Knicks are showing some fight on the road of late, a trend they'll try to maintain when they visit an injury-ravaged Washington Wizards team tonight. The Knicks split their last eight games following a 4-20 start and three of the wins during the 4-4 stretch came away from home, with Thursday's 94-82 triumph at Brooklyn perhaps the most impressive. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Capitals +113 v. Hurricanes | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington has 59 points and owns a 10-point bulge on the second-place New York Islanders in the Metropolitan Division while enjoying a three-point cushion on St. Louis for the best record in the league. The break did nothing to reverse Carolina's fortunes as the Hurricanes lost their third straight, 5-3 at the New York Rangers on Friday. The Hurricanes have yielded an alarming 17 goals during their slide while the league's No. 6 penalty-killing unit entering Friday has gone cold by going 5-for-11 in the last three games. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Louisville +2 v. Kentucky | 70-78 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fourth-ranked Louisville and its stifling defense travel some 75 miles down Interstate 64 to face No. 19 Kentucky in the 53rd renewal of the Bluegrass State rivalry today. The Wildcats have won six of the past seven meetings after a 71-58 victory last season and five straight at Rupp Arena, but Kentucky's latest crop of freshmen is about to take its hardest test against Louisville's experienced group. The Cardinals are third nationally in field goal defense at 35 percent - 40.7 inside the 3-point line and 26.7 outside it - and have held their last five opponents to 21.4 percent shooting from beyond the arc. The Clincher:Â Kentucky is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Memphis +7.5 v. Penn State | 39-53 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This year, the Nits had to replace QB McSorley, & his 9,899 career passing yards. However, a team at this level simply plugs in a competent replacement, which is just what the Lions did, with soph QB Clifford at 2,521 yards, 59.5%, & 22 touchdowns with 6 interceptions. However, he is ailing (leg), but is expected to start here, after missing regular season finale vs Rutgers (19 point ATS loss). The Lions rank 5th in rushing "D", a huge improvement over last year's 71st ranking. That unit had better be at its best, if it is to contain the overhead talent of Memphis Tiger QB White, who ranks 9th in the land with 3,560 yards & 33 touchdowns with 9 interceptions, after posting 3,296 yards & 26 touchdowns and 9 interceptions a year ago. Memphis' only slip this year came in a four TO 30-28 loss to Temple. And White is just a part of 3-piece offensive triumvirate of White, RB Gainwell (1,425 yards, 12 TDs), & WR Coxie (1,144 yards, 9 TDs). |

12-27-19 | Suns v. Warriors +3 | 96-105 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden State Warriors are red hot all of a sudden, with advanced scouting reports and defensive execution making up for an injury-induced talent gap. The Warriors will try to extend their season-best winning streak to four in a row when they host the Phoenix Suns today. Golden State knocked off struggling Western Conference foes New Orleans and Minnesota to pick up its first set of back-to-back victories before stepping up on Christmas Day and stifling James Harden and the Houston Rockets in a 116-104 victory. |
|||||||
12-27-19 | Washington State v. Air Force -2.5 | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 37 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units The Falcons of Air Force return to the bowl scene, after missing out previous 2 years, as they rank 3rd in the nation in rushing, with an added weapon in QB Hammond, who has clicked on passing TDs of 31, 50, 28, 46, 59, 27, 76, & 75 yards over their last 3 games. Absolutely incredible, & all the more intimidating for that Cougar "D", which simply cannot load up in attempting to contain the run. Military schools normally do themselves proud in bowl games, with the Falcons obliging nicely, with their current 5-2 ATS run in holiday tilts. Can't see the Falcons smothering the Coogs' passing, nor the Cougars containing the suddenly dual offense of Air Force. A Falcon call. |

12-27-19 | Islanders -138 v. Blackhawks | 2-5 | Loss | -138 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago plummeted into the Christmas break with losses in six of its last nine games, capped by what captain Jonathan Toews aptly labeled as an "embarrassing" performance in a 7-1 shellacking at the hands of New Jersey on Monday. The bad news continued three days later for the Blackhawks, who announced that forward Brandon Saad will be sidelined three weeks with a right ankle injury while defensemen Brent Seabrook and former Islander Calvin de Haan will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. |
|||||||
12-27-19 | Blues -120 v. Jets | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues hope to pick up where they left off before Christmas break when they head to Winnipeg on Friday to face the Jets in the first part of a home-and-home series. The defending Stanley Cup champions have won six games in a row and 10 of their past 13 following Monday’s 4-1 victory at Los Angeles, as center Brayden Schenn scored twice to help lift the Blues to a Western Conference-leading 54 points entering the holidays. Winnipeg limped into the holidays after a 6-2 home loss Monday against Montreal, falling to 2-4-0 in its past six games while giving up 24 goals with its penalty kill allowing seven goals in 14 chances in that span. |

12-27-19 | USC +2.5 v. Iowa | 24-49 | Loss | -105 | 35 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units This marks Trojans' 53rd bowl (eliminating a win & loss due to NCAA penalty), with a superb 34-18 SU record. USC lives by the pass, ranking 129th overland, & 5th overhead, with Frosh QB Slovis nation's 8th-ranked QB (2,738 passing yards & 14 touchdowns with 7 interceptions), while winding up the regular season vs Ucla with a superb 37-of-47 for 515 passing yards & 4 touchdowns with 0 picks. For the Hawkeyes, this makes 17 bowls in 19 years, all under the leadership of Ferentz: 8-8 SU & 10-6 ATS, with similar 27-20 & 27-22 (-2½, +7) wins in '17 Pinstripe, & '18 Outback, despite 383-200 & 342-199 yard deficits (3 takeaways in each). This year, Iowa seems totally dependent on its "D", which ranks 3rd & 12th in scoring & total defense. "O" an entirely matter, coming in at 96th, 97th, & 98th in scoring, rushing, & total offense. Hawkeyes rank 19th in AP poll, with weekly nail biters the norm, as 7 of last 10 games decided by TD or less |

12-27-19 | Maple Leafs -195 v. Devils | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The middle of November was not a stretch to remember for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who staggered through a six-game losing streak that led to the dismissal of coach Mike Babcock. The Maple Leafs have regrouped under new coach Sheldon Keefe and will carry a season-high five-game winning streak into Friday night's road matchup at the New Jersey Devils. High-powered Toronto scored 27 times in the last five games, punctuated by a five-goal third period in an 8-6 victory over Carolina on Monday afternoon in the final contest before the three-day Christmas break. Toronto swept all three meetings last season, outscoring New Jersey 17-5. |

12-27-19 | Thunder v. Hornets +3 | 104-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Charlotte Hornets have had ample time to put a disappointing effort behind them as they enter Friday's home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Charlotte has dropped three straight games and hasn't played since being walloped 119-93 by the host Boston Celtics on Sunday. Hornets coach James Borrego told the troops to forget about the beating and to enjoy their time off and said he is pleased with the team despite a 13-20 start. |

12-27-19 | Coppin State +5 v. Mt. St. Mary's | 55-79 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Coppin State is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games overall, 23-8 ATS in their last 31 games as an underdog, 17-6 ATS in their last 23 games as a road underdog, and 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 road games. While Mount St. Marys is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall, and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. |

12-27-19 | Cavs v. Celtics -13 | 117-129 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics have barely been challenged during a four-game winning streak, including a 16-point win at the defending champs on Christmas. They'll try to extend their run to five games in a row when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers today. After a six-point win at Dallas to begin the streak, Boston has three more victories by an average of 21 points as it tries to keep pace with the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference. |
|||||||
12-27-19 | Michigan State v. Wake Forest +4 | 27-21 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the Spartans, & their 16 returning starters, the year got off nicely, winning 4-of-5, while scoring 28, 51, 31, & 40 points, & holding their first 4 foes to 11.0 points per game. However, the dam broke quickly, dropping their next five games SU, with an accompanying horrible 6 straight ATS setbacks, also a 202-101 point deficit, entering their final 2 games with a 4-6 record, before taking the likes of 2-10 Rutgers & 3-9 Maryland, to somewhat save their season (at least a bowl). Deacons have narrowly won (34-26, 55-52, & 37-34) & covered 3 straight bowls, with this a chance for their first-ever 4-game winning bowl streak. Opened this year at 7-1 before rout losses to Va Tech & Clemson, & may have lost the services of stellar QB Newman (23 touchdowns with 10 interceptions), along with WR Surratt. Much like the Spartans, the Deacons returned a bushel of talent from last year's bowl-winning squad, & reached the 20th spot in the land, before their less than successful home stretch. Sure, always a possibility of a Big Ten blowout, but Deacons hang in this contest |

12-26-19 | Grizzlies v. Thunder -6 | 110-97 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating:2 Units The Memphis Grizzlies are hoping two days off for a Christmas break can help the team forget about some of the breakdowns on the defensive end that occurred during a 145-115 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. The Grizzlies will try to get things right when they visit the red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder today. Memphis dropped three of its last four games - a stretch that began with a 126-122 setback at Oklahoma City in which it squandered a 24-point lead - but the worst loss of the bunch came as it allowed the Spurs to shoot 67.4 percent from the floor on Monday. The Thunder are winners of four in a row and pulled above .500 for the first time this season with Sunday's 118-112 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Spurs v. Mavs -6.5 | 98-102 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Star point guard Luka Doncic will likely return from a four-game absence when the Dallas Mavericks host the San Antonio Spurs today. Doncic, who suffered an ankle injury against the Miami Heat on Dec. 14, went through a full practice on Tuesday and displayed he is nearly ready to rejoin the Mavericks. Dallas is 2-2 without Doncic, an MVP candidate who is averaging 29.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 8.9 assists in 25 games. Doncic collected 42 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in the Mavericks' 117-110 home victory on Nov. 18 to end the Spurs' winning streak in the series at five. |

12-26-19 | Knicks v. Nets -7 | 94-82 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets seek a fifth straight win over their in-city rival when they host the New York Knicks today. The Nets are coming off a 122-112 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in the opener of their two-game homestand, riding Spencer Dinwiddie's 39 points to their 11th win in the last 16 games. Garrett Temple added 25 points as Brooklyn overcame a 13-point halftime deficit to improve to 9-5 at home. The Knicks haven't done much better than anybody of late, losing three in a row while giving up an average of 124.3 points. Juluis Randle scored a season-high 35 points while the rest of the starters combined for 37 in a 121-115 loss to Washington on Monday. |

12-26-19 | Miami-FL v. Louisiana Tech +6.5 | 0-14 | Win | 100 | 146 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bulldogs are a perennial bowl entrant, & need this for their first-ever 10 win season, but you'd never know it, as this one marks their 6th consecutive bowl campaign. Not only that, but they've won all of those first 5, covering all but '16's 48-45 win over Navy, as 7-point favorites. Their one-two punch of QB Smith (2,814 Passing yards, 17.4) & RB Henderson (967 rushing yards, 15 TDs) is formidable. Tech's quality of opposition at the bottom of all bowl squads, but UM's dedication is questionable. |

12-25-19 | Pelicans v. Nuggets -9 | Top | 112-100 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day The Denver Nuggets own the longest active winning streak in the NBA and they look to extend it to eight when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on the Christmas night stage. Denver routed the Los Angeles Lakers 128-104 on Sunday but needed a game-winning shot from point guard Jamal Murray to escape with a 113-111 win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday. |
|||||||
12-25-19 | Bucks -3.5 v. 76ers | 109-121 | Loss | -106 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks might not be all that happy about spending Christmas Day away from their families for a road game, but I think they'll be looking to make sure it's worth the trouble and come out all guns blazing. They're a solid 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite, and while Philly has been solid as a dog I don't see them keeping pace with the visitors in this one. We can also note that Philadelphia has hit bit of a rough patch lately, dropping three of its last five straight up while covering the spread in only one of those five games. Milwaukee has seemingly made it a mission to beat down on other competitors in the East this season, most recently defeating Indiana by almost 30 points. |

12-23-19 | Wolves -2 v. Warriors | 104-113 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Golden State's season went off the rails early due to injury and the ailments keep piling up, with rookie forward Eric Paschall the latest to go down. Paschall is averaging 15.4 points but was forced to leave Friday's game with a right knee injury and has been dealing with a hip injury of late as well. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Pelicans v. Blazers -6 | 102-94 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Portland Trail Blazers try to extend their season-high winning streak to five games when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Portland's 5-12 start to the season is a distant memory as it has gone 9-4 since after Saturday's 113-106 victory over Minnesota featured top performances from Hassan Whiteside and Kent Bazemore, while Damian Lillard did his thing. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Blues -139 v. Kings | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues reside as the West's best team in the standings due in large part to how they have fared against the rest of the conference. The Blues carry a sparkling 16-2-3 record versus Western Conference foes into Monday's road game against the Los Angeles Kings. The Blues boast an 11-4-3 record on the road heading into their tilt versus a Kings |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Packers v. Vikings -5 | 23-10 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Packers can breath a sigh of relief, after the end of the Bears' game, & can clinch division by winning either of their last 2 games. Now 4-0 in division for 1st time in 7 years. Rodgers last 8 games; 16 TDs & zero picks. Vikes can clinch a playoff berth with one more win. Have now won 10+ games for the 3rd time in Zimmer's 6 seasons. It's the first time it has happened to Cousins. Minny in off biggest margin of victory on the road since '92. Well, SEVEN takaways facilitate such prowess. Vikes may be better team. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Raptors v. Pacers -6 | 115-120 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors hope to have enough left in the tank Monday at the Indiana Pacers after putting forth a historic comeback a day earlier. After falling behind 83-53 with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter at home against Dallas on Sunday, the Raptors stormed back for a 110-107 triumph. The 30-point comeback was the largest in franchise history and the the first of that magnitude in the NBA in more than 10 years. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Panthers v. Lightning -178 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning have won eight of the past nine meetings, including two of three this season, but continue their inconsistency against the rest of the league in 2019-20 with one win in the past four games (1-2-1) after going 0-for-7 on the power play - including 1:26 of a 5-on-3 in the third period - in Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Washington. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Flames +111 v. Wild | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Wild had points in 14 of 15 games (10-1-4) before losing three of the past four and they will try to begin turning the tables on Calgary, which took two of three in the series last season and has won its past two trips to Minnesota. The Flames snapped a three-game losing streak by scoring three times on the power play en route to a solid 5-1 victory at Dallas on Sunday, producing one more goal than they managed during their 0-2-1 slide. Leading scorer Matthew Tkachuk (14 goals, 32 points) recorded a goal and two assists in the victory, but has been held to two points in nine previous contests against the Wild. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Nuggets v. Lakers -3.5 | 128-104 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Los Angeles just finished up a stretch with eight of nine on the road, which began with a 105-96 triumph at Denver on Dec. 3, and is staring ahead at a stretch that includes the visit from Denver and a Christmas Day meeting with the rival Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Chiefs -6 v. Bears | 26-3 | Win | 100 | 28 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Great road test in cold weather for the Chiefs, as they most likely have to go on the road in the Divisionals & AFC Title game, if they make it that far. Now Ten division titles in the career of Andy Reid. And has won 26 of last 28 division games. Fifth straight year with at least 10 wins. Four straight for the Chiefs, allowing 11.3 ppg in that span. Mahomes vs Broncos: 27-of-34 for 340 yards & 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Bears officially eliminated from the playoffs, despite a 416-292 yard edge over the Packers. Chiefs again. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Hornets v. Celtics -13 | 93-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hornets fell to Utah 114-107 on Saturday for their third loss in four games despite 29 points from ex-Celtic Terry Rozier. Boston prevailed 108-87 on Nov. 7 in the first of three meetings this season as Kemba Walker had 14 points and six assists in an emotional return to Charlotte. Walker, a three-time All-Star whose career scoring average is 19.96 points, played his first eight seasons with the Hornets before signing with the Celtics in July. The Celtics are 11-1 at home, losing to Philadelphia 115-109 on Dec. 12, and 12-1 versus sub-.500 teams. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Houston v. Portland +18 | 81-56 | Loss | -114 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston aims to reach a semifinal game with either Georgia Tech or Boise State on Monday, but must first get past a Portland team that has cooled off since winning six of its first seven games - losing only to USC by 11. The Pilots have lost three of five since and should come to Hawai'i angry after losing at home 73-63 on Thursday against Jackson State, which won its first game against a Division I opponent. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Jaguars v. Falcons -7 | 12-24 | Win | 100 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two of the more disappointing squads this season. Minshew & Jags got their 2nd last-second road win vs the AFC West in last week's win over the Raiders (took Broncs in Sept, at the buzzer, as well). He was 5-of-6 & a TD in that game winning drive. It was Jags' first West Coast win since Jan of 2005 (0-9 prior). Despite the win, that's 6 straight games Jags have not topped 20 points. Falcons 4-2, after starting at 1-7, with 2 of those wins at New Orleans & San Francisco. Impressive, to say the least. Momentum all Falcons. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Ravens -10 v. Browns | 31-15 | Win | 100 | 21 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Can the Browns do the unthinkable & sweep this juggernaut? Ten straight wins for the smoking hot Ravens. The last team to beat them? The Cleveland Browns. Ravens scored TDs on their first 3 possessions vs the Jets, on their way to clinching the AFC North. Five more TD passes for Jackson, to go along with his record 1,108 rushing yards. He now has 33 touchdown passes this season. More TD passes than Ravens have punts. Chubb: most rushing yards by a Brown since Jim Brown in '65. Ravens roll on |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Bengals v. Dolphins +2 | 35-38 | Win | 100 | 21 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A loss here, & Bengals will have Joe Burrow under center next season. For a while, there was a distinct possibility that this one could have pitted a couple of 0-15 squads battling against each other. But both rookie head coaches righted their respective ships to avoid that fate. Cincinnati gave up 150+ rushing yards for the 7th time this season (most in the NFL). Dalton: 4 picks last week. Miami can't get out of Gotham quick enough, after back-to-back losses in Metlife Stadium, to the lowly Jets & Giants. Nine DD losses for Fish. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Penguins +103 v. Canucks | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pens downed the Canucks in a very high tempo game by the score of 8-6 on November 27th in a wild game. Malkin was a 2G+3A night. Guentzel had 2G+2A of his own and Guentzel had 1G+3A. This will be the last regular season PIT/VAN game of the season. Pittsburgh is 6-2-1 in the last nine overall games against Vancouver. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Blackhawks v. Avalanche -220 | 5-3 | Loss | -220 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These two teams played each other just three days ago -- that one in Chicago -- and the Avs took a decisive 4-1 victory. Now the Hawks get a rematch, but it likely won't get any easier on the road in a place where the Avs have lost just four times in regulation (out of 16 home games). Although the Hawks won in Winnipeg on Thursday, they are just 6-11 on the road this season, scoring an average of just 2.59 goals per game away from Chicago. That likely won't get it done tonight against one of the best offenses in the league. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Cincinnati v. Iowa -2.5 | 70-77 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Cincinnati leads the all-time series 6-3, but the Hawkeyes won the last meeting 79-72 last March in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Garza had 20 points and Wieskamp added 19 for the Hawkeyes, while Jarron Cumberland had 18 for the Bearcats. Iowa features the No.1 ranked team in the nation in offensive efficiency (115.3 points per 100 possessions). |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Clippers -5.5 v. Spurs | 134-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the most part, the Spurs’ defense has left much to be desired so far this season, ranking just 20th in defensive rating coming into tonight’s game (111.5). A lot of this has come down to playing specialists that are easily exploited on the defensive end (Marco Belinelli and Bryn Forbes seemingly cause Spurs Twitter to drink every time they blow an assignment) or just at times flat-out defensive incompetence. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Bucks -13 v. Knicks | 123-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bucks are obviously coming off the heels of an incredible 111-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, which helped them to not only bounce back from their loss to the Dallas Mavericks earlier in the week, but take sole possession of the NBA’s best record. Saturday night will mark the second occasion the Bucks have matched up with the Knicks, after having demolished New York earlier this month in what stands as their biggest victory by margin to date this season. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Washington v. Boise State +3.5 | 38-7 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Rumors of Washington QB Eason sitting this one out are rampant, especially with the loss of Peterson, along with senior tackle Adams also declining to participate. Obviously neither team is at its normal best, and although the Huskies are down, defensively, we feel the loss of QB Browning & RB Gaskin hasn't been resolved. Boise has not reached 13 wins since joining the Mountain West, as it had 4 previous years. Bronco QB Henderson has been a solid replacement for Bachmeier, with his 63.2% & 11 touchdowns with 2 interception ratio. Plenty of legitimate interest here, which won't be lost on anyone, either on or off the field. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Canadiens v. Oilers +106 | 3-4 | Win | 106 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is the Oilers' last home game before Christmas and they'd badly like to make it count. As for playing two games in two days, the Oilers are actually 3-0 in that situation so far this season, winning 4-1, 4-3 and 3-2. The home team won both meetings last season, the Oilers winning 6-2 here at Edmonton. The Habs are on the third leg of a long road trip and they're a bit banged-up. Having already won the first two games of the trip, they could be a little more complacent than their hosts. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Dayton -5 v. Colorado | 76-78 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Obi Toppin, a 6-9 sophomore, leads the Flyers with 20.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per outing but is coming off a season-low 11 points in the win over North Texas. Crutcher is averaging 12.5 points and a team-leading 5.5 assists while forward Ryan Mikesell (10.9 points), and guards Trey Landers (10.2) and Ibi Watson (10.1) also are averaging double figures. Overall, Dayton is tops nationally with a 53.7 team field-goal percentage and is ninth with a 1.49 assist-to-turnover ratio while averaging 84.8 points (sixth). |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Kentucky v. Ohio State -2.5 | 65-71 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Washington's absence was noticeable in the loss at Minnesota, where Ohio State could have used his 11.4 points per game and 53.7 percent 3-point shooting. Wesson is averaging 14.1 points and 9.3 rebounds and shooting 46.3 percent from the field, but has turned the ball over 11 times in the past two games. Similar to Kentucky, Ohio State brings two productive freshmen - guard D.J. Carton and forward E.J. Liddell - off the bench who could end up being difference-makers in this matchup of top teams. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Jazz -6 v. Hornets | 114-107 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jazz, for as disappointing as they’ve been, are still good. They won’t have Mike Conley, who reaggravated a hamstring ailment on Tuesday. But they do have Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, and Bojan Bogdanovic. Mitchell isn’t getting the hype he got as a rookie, but he’s steadily improved every year. This year he’s up to 25.2 points per game on 45% shooting from the field and 36% from three. Gobert hasn’t been quite the defensive force we’re used to seeing, but he’ll still cause all sorts of problems for a Hornets team that isn’t very efficient around the basket. Bogdanovic has picked up where he left off in Indiana, averaging a career high 21.1 points per game while drilling 3.4 3-pointers per game at a 46% clip. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Bills +7 v. Patriots | 17-24 | Push | 0 | 27 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Not many would have predicted how huge this game was going to end up being, when the schedule came out last April. But here they are, with the Bills just a game back, after their brutal win at Pittsburgh. Pats always seem to be in Foxboro to wind up the season, after clinching a playoff berth for the 11th consecutive season, & it will be 11 straight division titles with one more win. Brady with just 128 passing yards vs Cincinnati, but did toss 2 more TDs. Bills are 3-0-1 ATS at New England, & won't back off in this one |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Arkansas State +2.5 v. Louisiana-Monroe | 62-59 | Win | 100 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units UL-Monroe is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite. |
