12-02-21 | Thunder v. Grizzlies -9.5 | Top | 79-152 | Win | 100 | 5 h 21 m | Show |
The Memphis Grizzlies are entering an important stretch beginning Thursday — no, I’m not talking about more games without Ja Morant, I’m talking about December. During the 12th month of the year, the Grizzlies play 14 of their 16 games against Western Conference teams. That means this month is huge as far as positioning in the conference. In the team’s first two games without Ja, it’s been so far so good. The team is 2-0 after picking up a nice win on the road in Toronto on Tuesday night. If the Grizz are going to stay afloat while their superstar is on the shelf, then they have to beat the teams they are better than. I know that should go without saying, but we have seen the Grizzlies underachieve against teams they are more talented then. | |||||||
12-02-21 | Bucks v. Raptors OVER 215.5 | Top | 93-97 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 21 m | Show |
The Bucks are still riding high, having won 8 straight contests and catapulting themselves into a three-way tie for 2nd place in the Eastern Conference (alongside the Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls). They remain 1.5 games behind the East-leading Brooklyn Nets, and Milwaukee’s upcoming schedule is a relatively light stretch. Over this 8-game win streak, the Bucks have rediscovered their old habits. Statistically, they’re performing up to the level we expected them to (6th in Offensive Rating, 2nd in Defensive Rating, 2nd in Net Rating), and it’s no surprise that the streak coincides with the return of Khris Middleton. | |||||||
12-01-21 | Golden Knights v. Ducks OVER 5.5 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show |
Vegas is starting to get their legs back with Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty back in the line-up, something that should give them an offensive boost even though they're still not 100%. Gibson got the start last night against the Los Angeles Kings so expect Stolarz to get the call for the Ducks tonight. The Ducks have enough offense up front to push this game over. | |||||||
12-01-21 | Mavs -2.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 139-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
The Mavericks come in after a 18-pt beatdown against Cleveland, but remember, we never get too high or low off of what we just saw; especially with current form saying that the Mavericks are playing well on the road with four ATS covers in their last five games. The Pelicans have lost 16 of 25 SU. | |||||||
12-01-21 | La Salle v. Temple -6.5 | Top | 57-73 | Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
We're on another team playing against a weak defense, which is what the Explorers bring to the table. La Salle will not force turnovers and are soft inside. This plays right into the hands of the Owls who are more of a dribble penetration team. Expect temple to live at the free-throw line tonight. | |||||||
11-30-21 | Warriors +2.5 v. Suns | Top | 96-104 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 36 m | Show |
The Warriors are playing as if their five-year dynastic run never ended. They’re first in the NBA in defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) and second in offensive rating. In all, they’re outscoring their opponents by nearly 14 points per game. They’re a juggernaut. All while Klay Thompson and James Wiseman sit on the bench, awaiting returns from injury. | |||||||
11-30-21 | Duke -3 v. Ohio State | Top | 66-71 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 21 m | Show |
Duke has had some impressive wins thus far. The Blue Devils are now 7-0 and have taken down Kentucky and Gonzaga, which were ranked at No. 10 and No. 1, respectively, at the time of the games. The Blue Devils have been solid both defensively and offensively, beating their opponents by an average of 21 points, but there’s one caveat that concerns these successes: Duke has not played a true road game. This will be the final test before Duke can declare themselves legit title contenders. | |||||||
11-30-21 | Lightning v. Blues OVER 5.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 5 m | Show |
The Lightning light it up or get lit up when playing the Central Division where the over has cashed 8 of their last 9 meetings with three pushes. The over is 18-7-5 in the Lightning last 30 against the Western Conference. Tampa has not played well in St. Louis and should be plenty ready to wipe the bad taste of the Scottrade Center from their mouths. | |||||||
11-29-21 | Lafayette -1 v. Columbia | Top | 73-50 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
Both of these teams are bad the Leopard's tempo is much faster than the pace Columbia wants to play at, giving us more possessions. Lion's perimeter defense is nonexistent. | |||||||
11-27-21 | Wolves v. 76ers -5 | Top | 121-120 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 44 m | Show |
Philadelphia has defeated the Wolves in eight consecutive meetings, now narrowly leading the all-time series 31-29. There is optimism Joel Embiid can return to the team. He has missed nine games in a row after testing positive for COVID-19. He has not played since Nov. 6 in a win over the Chicago Bulls, and the Sixers have missed their star big man. The return of Embiid would do so much for Philadelphia, and it would help young guard Tyrese Maxey get the Sixers moving in the right direction again. | |||||||
11-26-21 | UT-Rio Grande Valley v. Illinois UNDER 148.5 | Top | 85-94 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
The Rio Grande offensive efficiency is among the bottom in College Basketball. They own an ineffective effective FG% with 3-pt shooting not a strong part of the offense. They are going up against one of the best defenses in the country so it's hard to believe that the Vaqueros will do enough to push this game over the total. | |||||||
11-26-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Lightning UNDER 5.5 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 102 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Make no mistake, the intensity level will be high for this one as the Kraken face the Lightning for the first time ever. When intensity is high, defense is better. From the Lightning perspective, it's taken them a few weeks to get back to the team who we know them to be. They've done it with proper spacing and and outstanding forecheck. The number is begging for the public to take the over but we know better. | |||||||
11-25-21 | Belmont v. Drake UNDER 150.5 | Top | 74-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
These are two teams that will slow the pace down. Both teams rank in the bottom half of College Basketball in possessions per game. Even though Drake runs as an efficient of an offense as you'll see in the halfcourt, Belmont won't do enough to push this game over. | |||||||
11-22-21 | Valparaiso v. Jacksonville State -6.5 | Top | 78-70 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 51 m | Show |
Dating back to last season, Valpo is just 1-6 ATS against teams with a losing record and have failed to cover four straight overall. The Gamecocks have covered 6 of 7 overall and 5 of 6 against teams with a losing record. | |||||||
11-22-21 | Penguins +109 v. Jets | Top | 3-1 | Win | 109 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
Pittsburgh is 2-0-2 in its past four games after going 1-7-1 in its previous nine. The Penguins have scored at least four goals in four of their past five games. Winnipeg is 1-2-0 in its past three games after going 4-0-1 in its previous five. The Jets have allowed at least four goals in three straight games. | |||||||
11-22-21 | Pacers v. Bulls UNDER 209 | Top | 109-77 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
Head coach Rick Carlisle was very disappointed with his starters in the Indiana Pacers’ loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Only Malcolm Brogdon finished in double-figure scoring after Carlisle benched them for most of the second half of the game. The battle only got close because of the defense, energy and hustle of the second stringers. | |||||||
11-21-21 | Coyotes v. Kings OVER 5.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
This has never been a good spot for the under when the Coyotes are involved. The game after a solid defensive effort the next game is usually a sure over. Arizona is also 9-4 to the over playing back-to-back games. Both of these teams are under teams but today will prove different. | |||||||
11-19-21 | Avalanche v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6 | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show |
The Kraken have lost five straight games and six of 7 They’ve given up 24 goals during their losing streak (almost 5 a game)The average goals scored during their seven game stretch is 7.42They have given up too many odd man rushes and are not good against transition.They have games against Colorado, Washington, and Carolina before Thanksgiving and when I start to hear rumblings about breakdown in confidence that’s when tend to put teams in a go against column or an over column because I’ll never get a good number playing against them. | |||||||
11-19-21 | Thunder v. Bucks -12.5 | Top | 89-96 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 36 m | Show |
When Milwaukee has won this season they've crushed their opponents and the Thunder figure to be a team that the Bucks are going to handle. The opposite is true for the Thunder who have been good in spots but still lose by an average of 17 points. This one is an easy winner. | |||||||
11-19-21 | Oakland v. Alabama -15 | Top | 59-86 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
The Golden Grizzlies won't be able to keep up with the pace of play from the Crimson Tide. Alabama averages over 74 possessions a game ranking them 26th in the country. Those possessions have led to just under 80 points a game, this doesn't bode well for Oakland who is one of the country's worst defensive teams. | |||||||
11-18-21 | Spurs v. Wolves -2 | Top | 90-115 | Win | 100 | 16 h 55 m | Show |
Minnesota is home to one of the highest-scoring trios in the NBA as Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and D’Angelo Russell have combined for precisely 64.0 points per game this season. Towns and Russell have garnered a couple of All-Star nods early into their careers. And Edwards already looks the part of a future go-to option after going first overall in the 2020 Draft and putting together a stellar rookie campaign. | |||||||
11-18-21 | Lightning v. Flyers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 59 m | Show |
Believe it or not, despite both teams combined record of 16-7-5, they are doing it with defense. Neither team is in the upper half in scoring and Tampa is averaging 29.43 shots per game, ranking them 23rd. The Lightning have gone under five of their last six games, while the Flyers have gone under in 8 of their last 9. | |||||||
11-18-21 | Coastal Carolina +1.5 v. NC-Wilmington | Top | 53-65 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 37 m | Show |
The Chanticleers won their first game of the season by playing tenacious defense, holding Ferrum to under 40% shooting. I know this is a step up if they can get close to their 80pts scored in game one, they will win this game easily. | |||||||
11-17-21 | Avalanche v. Canucks OVER 5.5 | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
The Canucks have now lost four straight games after getting crushed, 5-1, by the Anaheim Ducks. They've given up 19 goals in their last three games. They host a Colorado Avalanche that comes into this with back-to-back wins under their belt and is starting to play the way many expected, even though Nathan MacKinnon will be out for some time. The Av's have scored 13 times in their last two games. Be aware that we're laying a little more than normal in this game but they play is strong and we've built up enough bankroll to take a chance. | |||||||
11-16-21 | 76ers v. Jazz -8.5 | Top | 85-120 | Win | 100 | 17 h 18 m | Show |
The 76ers are currently a pandemic within a pandemic it seems like. They are now sixth in the Eastern Conference with a record of eight wins and six losses with four of them coming from their last five games. The Jazz are tied for second in the league for points differential with +6.6 points. The team averages 110.2 points per game shooting 45.45 from the field and 32.1% from three. Utah blows out the Sixers tonight. | |||||||
11-16-21 | BYU v. Oregon -4 | Top | 81-49 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 6 m | Show |
Oregon lost their top three scorers from a year ago, but they return some nice pieces and reloaded via the transfer portal. The top returnee is Preseason First-Team All Pac-12 selection Will Richardson. The 6-foot-5 senior guard averaged 11.3 ppg and is the Ducks leading scorer through two games with 38 total points on 8-13 shooting from three. The Ducks start three high-level transfers that they brought in this offseason from P5 programs — De’Vion Harmon (who had BYU as a finalist), Jacob Young, and Quincy Guerrier. Each player averaged double digits last season. All 5 Oregon starters can shoot and they are an athletic team that can switch positions 1-5. | |||||||
11-16-21 | Oilers v. Jets OVER 6 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 27 m | Show |
With secondary players stepping up, once the stars start to get on track, the Jets will be well on their way to being one of the top teams in the NHL. The Over is 9-3 in their last 12 meetings in Winnipeg, while the over has cashed 7 of the last 9 Oiler games against the Central overall. | |||||||
11-14-21 | South Dakota v. Drake -16.5 | Top | 50-99 | Win | 100 | 5 h 4 m | Show |
The Drake Bulldogs opened their season in impressive fashion by scoring 87 points in their win over Coe College. In the contest, the Bulldogs asserted their dominance right from the start, scoring 47 points in the opening half. Their defense allowed just 31 and 30 points between the two halves. Against Coe, Drake shot the ball extremely well, finishing with a shooting percentage of 63%. They walked away with an offensive efficiency rating 120.8. The Coyotes won their first game but it was sloppy and inefficient. | |||||||
11-13-21 | Wild -110 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Usually, when a team is playing the last game of a road trip they're in a go against spot but not here. A win will make the difference between a losing or winning trip for the Wild, so don't expect them to be looking ahead to home against a team they're clearly better than. I scratch my head at this line, and a few other Kraken lines this season but we're going to get the best of the book tonight. | |||||||
11-12-21 | Coyotes v. Blackhawks OVER 5.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 18 m | Show |
The health of the Hawks forward group has been in flux lately, and Brandon Hagel’s absence deprives the team of a top-six forward. He scored four goals in his last six games before sitting out a shootout victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday. The Hawks also learned this week that MacKenzie Entwistle will miss four to six weeks with a left ankle injury. Tyler Johnson missed the last six games with neck soreness and a stint in the COVID-19 protocol, but he's good to go in this one. Too many people think injuries lead to under when in fact it's the defensive end of the ice that takes the biggest hit. | |||||||
11-12-21 | Rice v. Houston -14 | Top | 46-79 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show |
This is a spot the Cougars thrived in last season when they went 6-3 ATS when favored by 14.5 points or more. Houston is 11-5 ATS as a home favorite dating back to last season and has been terrific coming off an ATS loss. | |||||||
11-11-21 | Heat v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 17 h 16 m | Show |
Ty Lue’s Clippers will look to break down Miami’s defense in ways they’ve broken down other teams. Luke Kennard and Nicolas Batum will aim to light it up from beyond the arc; they have helped the Clippers sit at fourth in the league for three-pointers made per game. When their threes start falling and space starts to open up, the Clippers will have more than enough weapons to play havoc with the Heat. Batum and Terance Mann have been reliable secondary offensive threats when they find space near the rim and finish with exhilarating dunks or, in the case of Mann, revitalizing and-ones. Let’s not forget George, who has been doing it all for the Clippers regardless of the number of defenders on him. | |||||||
11-11-21 | Cal-Riverside +10 v. Arizona State | Top | 66-65 | Win | 100 | 15 h 1 m | Show |
This is a Sun Devil team that went 4-10 ATS last season and open up as a double-digit favorite in this one, a spot they didn't fare well in 2020-21. The Sun Devils were missing four players in their opener due to COVID contact tracing protocols and those players aren't expected to dress for Thursday's game. They include forward Jalen Graham and Boston College transfer Jay Heath. The others are true freshman Justin Rochelin and walk-on Jordan Williams. UC Riverside finished 14-8 overall and 8-4 in the Big West Conference a year ago. Its top player in the opener was 7-foot-1 junior center Callum McRae who totaled 13 points and four rebounds in the loss to the Aztecs. | |||||||
11-11-21 | Oilers +130 v. Bruins | Top | 5-3 | Win | 130 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
The Oilers are 8-3 in their last 11 meetings, including 4-1 at Boston. They are also 25-9 when playing on one days rest. Throw out what we just saw against the Red Wings. Edmonton is #1 in shot percentage and on the Power play and has a PK that goes noticed. Take the plus money here. | |||||||
11-10-21 | Kings v. Spurs UNDER 224 | Top | 117-136 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
San Antonio owns the third-lowest foul rate in the league (17.1 PF), which has resulted in them sending their opponent to the line just 12.7 times per game this season. Playing disciplined defense has always been a hallmark of the Spurs throughout the Gregg Popovich era and despite their record we can still rely on them to be a good defensive team. | |||||||
11-10-21 | North Alabama v. Mississippi State -21 | Top | 49-75 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
The Mississippi State men's basketball team didn't make the NCAA Tournament last season. But the Bulldogs did make the NIT and got all the way to New York before losing to Memphis in the championship. So the next step this season would be for MSU, which hosts North Alabama in its season opener Wednesday night, to get to the NCAA Tournament. I think we'll see them with an easy win over the Lions. | |||||||
11-10-21 | Maple Leafs v. Flyers UNDER 6 | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
Carter Hart has been great in two games against the Leafs in his career. He’s 2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and a .929 SV% as he stopped 65 of 70 shots. Hart is 1-0-1 with a 1.48 GAA and a .954 SV% in his last two starts. | |||||||
11-09-21 | Ducks v. Canucks OVER 5.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 16 m | Show |
Yes, John Gibson was incredible against the St. Louis Blues but if you watched closer you know that the Blues had quality scoring chances in each period. The public looks at past scores and assumes because the Blues managed just one goal or Thatcher Demko has been incredible that the opposition didn't have chances. In fact, if you're talking about a goaltender having a great games it because their opponent almost always had grade A changes. Take the over in this one. | |||||||
11-09-21 | Hawks v. Jazz UNDER 221.5 | Top | 98-110 | Win | 100 | 17 h 12 m | Show |
Utah’s 6-1 record is every bit as impressive as their play early into the season. Coach Quin Snyder’s team ranks in the top 5 of most statistical categories on both ends of the floor. They stifle opponents on defense and can match any team’s firepower on offense. Look for the defense to carry the Jazz tonight. | |||||||
11-09-21 | Texas-Arlington v. Oklahoma State -19 | Top | 45-88 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show |
The Cowboys lost Cunningham (20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds last season), but return 10 players from last year's roster, including its next eight highest scorers, led by junior guard Avery Anderson III (12.2). UT Arlington, which is coming off a 13-13 season, made a coaching change this offseason when it promoted longtime assistant Greg Young after former coach Chris Ogden was hired as an assistant coach at the University of Texas. I expect that the announcement that the Cowboys would not be eligible for the NCAA Tournament this season will light a fire under the Cowboys through the first couple of games. | |||||||
11-08-21 | Hawks v. Warriors UNDER 222 | Top | 113-127 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 49 m | Show |
The Golden State Warriors are fresh off of last night’s 120-107 smackdown of the Houston Rockets, but now a much more dangerous opponent is coming to town. The Atlanta Hawks, last year’s Eastern Conference finalist and the team that maybe ended Ben Simmons career, will be the Dubs’ foe on the second night of a back-to-back. The Hawks are 4-6 right now and looking to get on track after taking a loss to the Phoenix Suns in their last game. In that game alleged Stephen Curry clone Trae Young scored 31 points with 13 assists, but couldn’t get his team over the hump. He’ll have to deal with Golden State’s vaunted defense, currently ranked #1 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. Curry is playing arguably the best defense of his career. | |||||||
11-08-21 | Kings v. Maple Leafs OVER 5.5 | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 23 m | Show |
These are two offenses that has struggled this season, so I always tell customers that two negatives usually do equal a positive. | |||||||
11-07-21 | Rockets v. Warriors OVER 220 | Top | 107-120 | Win | 100 | 17 h 41 m | Show |
The OVER is 6-1 when the Rockets are playing their second of back to back games, and 9-3 on the road against teams with a winning home record. There are many other trends that point to the UNDER but we're not falling for plays based on history. | |||||||
11-07-21 | Predators v. Blackhawks UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 106 | 15 h 17 m | Show |
With last season’s temporary realignment, these teams saw a lot of each other last year. The Predators absolutely dominated Chicago, winning seven of eight meetings. It is worth noting, however, that most of the games were fairly close. Three needed overtime or a shootout to solve and six of the eight were decided by two or less goals. The total went Under six times. Nashville can’t seem to gain much momentum in one direction or the other, as they sit 3-3 at home and 3-2 on the road. They’re 5-2 against the spread this year, covering in three of five road contests. The total has gone Under in four of the Predators’ last five games. It’s no secret how bad Chicago has been, dating back to last season. They’ve lost 12 of their last 13 games overall and have only one win in their last seven at home. For the season they’re 5-7 ATS, covering in half of their six home games. The total has gone Under in four of the Blackhawks’ last five home games against Nashville. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Hawks v. Suns UNDER 225 | Top | 117-121 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 8 m | Show |
Against the Jazz, the Atlanta team shot at an abysmal rate from three with only 25% of their attempts converted missing 21 of the 28 attempts taken. Trae Young had 21 points with four rebounds and seven assists going 0-4 beyond the arc and only making eight of all 20 attempts. Collins, Hunter and Capela had a combined total of 40 points and the rest had below 10 points each. I need to see more consistency from the Hawks on the offensive side of the court but I do think they'll play much better on defense than they did against Utah. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Golden Knights -102 v. Canadiens | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
In their first meeting since the Habs send the Golden Knights packing for the Summer in last year's postseason, costing Vegas a trip to the Stanley Cup Final, that the Knights would be out for a little revenge in front of the Montreal faithful. This is a bad Montreal team that even with all the Knights injuries, they still are good enough to beat Montreal. | |||||||
11-05-21 | Devils +113 v. Kings | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 0 m | Show |
Bernier is expected to be back between the pipes for the Devils on Friday. Prior to his previous start, the 33-year-old had been flashing signs of a renaissance in New Jersey. Bernier allowed three goals or fewer in each of his first three starts and comes in with modest overall numbers through four contests. He owns a 3-1-0 overall record to go along with a 2.74 GAA and .907 save percentage. | |||||||
11-05-21 | Spurs -3.5 v. Magic | Top | 102-89 | Win | 100 | 15 h 26 m | Show |
San Antonio will be looking to stop another losing streak when it travels to Orlando on Friday night. The Spurs are on their second losing skid of the young season, having lost six of their first eight games. Orlando has been even worse, dropping seven of its first nine games to open the season. San Antonio picked up a 123-97 victory when these teams met in their season opener on Oct. 20. | |||||||
11-04-21 | Celtics v. Heat -7 | Top | 95-78 | Loss | -106 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
Miami will look to Tyler Herro to continue scoring off the bench. The 21-year old seems to have the hot hand after recording his third consecutive 20+ point outing in the Heat's most recent game. Doing an absolute number on the second unit of most teams. Herro is making a strong case as a candidate for the Most Improved Player award early in the season. The Miami Heat may also see some significant minutes from Dewayne Dedmon and Markieff Morris to support their superstar big man. | |||||||
11-04-21 | Islanders v. Canadiens OVER 5.5 | Top | 6-2 | Win | 122 | 15 h 1 m | Show |
It seems everyone is on the over in this one, which means, I'm going to take a serious look at the over. The OVER is 9-4-2 dating back to last season when the Islanders are playing on three or more days rest while the OVER is 4-1-1 when Montreal plays a team with a losing record. | |||||||
11-03-21 | Blues v. Kings OVER 5.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -106 | 16 h 38 m | Show |
Two teams who have played well defensively always makes me look at the over because the public is certain to be on the under, creating a low risk wager with a favorable number. Key defensemen Drew Doughty and Sean Walker both set to miss significant time due to injury. So far, the defense and penalty kill have held up pretty well, with journeyman Matt Roy and youngsters Tobias Bjornfot and Mikey Anderson being asked to shoulder much of the load. The defensive luck runs out for the Kings tonight. | |||||||
11-03-21 | Blazers -3.5 v. Cavs | Top | 104-107 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
The Cavaliers won’t pose the same challenges that Philadelphia and Charlotte have on this trip. They have two of the best offenses in basketball. Cleveland, on the other hand, sits at 20th in the NBA in offensive rating (104.5) and 22nd in true shooting percentage (53.6%), and they will be without Kevin Love. | |||||||
11-02-21 | Devils -118 v. Ducks | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -118 | 16 h 36 m | Show |
This is simply a situation where you're getting a Devils team who is starting a three game trip through California. Typically game one of a trip is the best so lets give up just a little juice and get some of the Devils. | |||||||
11-02-21 | Kings v. Jazz UNDER 220 | Top | 113-119 | Loss | -103 | 14 h 29 m | Show |
Utah is one of the best defensive teams in the league, giving up 98.3 points per game. They gave up 95 points in their last game against Milwaukee. The Kings have been disappointing from the three-point line. As a team, they are shooting 31.7% from downtown by landing 11.8 out of their 37.3 shots per game. In comparison, the Sacramento Kings opponents managed to maintain 32.9% from the three-point line. If this game goes under it will be because there was very little defense in the paint. | |||||||
11-01-21 | Magic v. Wolves UNDER 216.5 | Top | 115-97 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
The Magic aren’t releasing much information regarding the progress of several key players on the injured list. According to Jack Robbins of the Athletic, this lack of transparency of the Magic is irking many fans. Markelle Fultz, Jonathan Isaac, and Chuma Okeke haven’t played a single game this season because of injuries. The Magic hasn’t given any timetable for all of them, which comes as a surprise to their fans. Fultz and Isaac are still recovering from knee injuries. Meanwhile, Okeke hasn’t played a single game this season due to a bone bruise in his hip. | |||||||
11-01-21 | Senators v. Blackhawks OVER 6 | Top | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
The Chicago defense is allowing 4.11 goals per game. Jake McCabe and Calvin de Haan have combined for 43 blocked shots and 33 hits but the rest of the unit has struggled and offseason acquisition Seth Jones, who was meant to lead the unit has become a liability in the defensive zone. Moreover, Marc-Andre Fleury is having a terrible season as the starting goaltender with a .872 save percentage and a 4.63 goals-against average on 149 shots. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Jazz v. Bucks +1 | Top | 107-95 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 44 m | Show |
Giannis Antetokounmpo has continued his torrid pace after hoisting the NBA title last season. The Greek Legend is averaging 27.6 points, 11 rebounds, and an impressive 6.6 dimes so far this season. He had a phenomenal game vs. the T-Wolves with 40 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks, and three triples two days ago. It's the fourth time Antetokounmpo has recorded at least 40 points, 15 boards, and five assists in a game, tying him with Larry Bird for the second-most such games -- Russell Westbrook has the most with five. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Blue Jackets +106 v. Devils | Top | 4-3 | Win | 106 | 13 h 51 m | Show |
The offense has struggled but the defense has carried the Blue Jackets early on this season, allowing only 2.71 goals per game. Zach Werenski, Vladislav Gavrikov, and Jake Bean have combined for 1.7 defensive point shares and 21 blocked shots while Andrew Peeke is adding 15 blocked shots and 10 hits to give the Blue Jackets two strong defensive pairings. In addition, the Blue Jackets are seeing the incredible play from goaltender Elvis Merzlikins who has a .939 save percentage and a 1.98 goals-against average on 163 shots. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Magic v. Pistons -5 | Top | 103-110 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
The rebuilding Magic come into this matchup losing four of their first five games to start the season. They’ve been struggling immensely on the defensive end, which was expected with their young backcourt. They currently rank last in the NBA in defensive and net rating through five games. Rookie Jalen Suggs, who had eight points and five assists against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, is shooting 29% (18 for 63) after five games. It’s going to take the rookie some time learning the ropes at the point guard position, which is always a long curve for new players. Forward Chuma Okeke (hip), G Michael Carter-Williams (ankle), and G E'Twaun Moore (knee) have yet to play in the regular season, though none of the injuries is considered long-term. Getting healthy and rebuilding their core is key for them this season and in the coming years. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Canadiens v. Kings -107 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
The Canadiens made the Stanley Cup Finals last season but started this season badly losing their first five games. The team has won two of their last three games but the wins were facing teams that were pretty bad last season and the one loss was a bad one against expansion Seattle. | |||||||
10-29-21 | Clippers v. Blazers -2.5 | Top | 92-111 | Win | 100 | 18 h 21 m | Show |
At some point this season the Portland Trail Blazers will put together back-to-back strong performances and win consecutive games. No better time than the present given that the LA Clippers come to town for a Friday night game just a few days after handing the Blazers an embarrassing 116-86 loss Monday in California. Two nights later, the Blazers won 116-96 over Memphis (2-2). That’s a 50-point swing from the loss to the Clippers to the win over the Grizzlies. As for the Clippers, they followed up their performance against the Blazers by losing 92-79 at home to Cleveland (3-2). Blazers get revenge | |||||||
10-29-21 | Panthers v. Red Wings UNDER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 23 m | Show |
What’s great about having a one and one A goaltender is that they’re constantly pushing each other to be better. We saw Sergei Bobrovsky stand on his head against Boston and now I’m sure Spencer Knight who was impressive against Tampa to get his first win and good enough against the Coyotes. Add that to the fact that the Panthers are playing extremely well in front of both of their netminders through seven games. Just because Joel Quennevile is gone, I don’t think this is a time to jump off what we know the Panthers to be and that’s a team with great goaltending and terrific defensive play in front of them. | |||||||
10-28-21 | Canadiens v. Sharks UNDER 6 | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
We’ve already seen the Sharks hand the Canadiens a shutout loss nine days ago but its much worse than that for Montreal. Outside the six goal outburst against Detroit Montreal has scored just 5 goals in 6 games and three in three road games. They are missing Shea Webber, Carey Price and Paul Byron n what do they all have in common, veteran leaders who can be leaned on in the room when things aren’t going well. The last six Sharks home games following a road trip of 7 or more days, the under is a perfect 6-0 FYI Montreal have lost 12 straight in San Jose and 19 of 23 overall | |||||||
10-28-21 | Jazz -9 v. Rockets | Top | 122-91 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
The Utah Jazz has regained their dominance in the league. So far, they’ve won all three of their games by an average of 14 points. Their biggest win came in last game against the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic, the reigning MVP, had an injury scare in the first half and did not play in the second. After coach Mike Malone advised his talisman to leave the court, this happened. The game featured 30 lead changes and 12 ties, but the Jazz ultimately won. Rudy Gobert is averaging 18.7 points and a ridiculous 19 rebounds per game thus far, but his block average is only 0.7 per game. Jordan Clarkson is proving his worth as the league’s best bench player, averaging 17.3 points on a 50% effective field goal percentage. Mike Conley was a big part of the Utah Jazz’s playoff push in 2021, and he’s back to full strength now. He’s averaging 14.0 points per game on 44 percent three-point shooting. | |||||||
10-27-21 | Flyers v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 8 m | Show |
The Flyers have a bad habit of getting pinned in their own end to start games, which we saw in their loss to the Panthers. The Panthers had seven power play chances and if it wasn’t for Carter Hart the Flyers would have blown out. Neither of these teams are strangers to penalties which means we should see a decent amount of power plays to help push this over considering the Oilers are cashing in over 47% of their power plays while the Flyers re right behind them at just over 36%. | |||||||
10-27-21 | Wizards v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 116-107 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
Washington will have their work cut out for them with the Celtics, who have won their last two games. First, they’ll have to slow down Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who combined for 71 points in their Monday night game against the Hornets. Another player to keep an eye on is Dennis Schröder. The guard seems to be finding his way on his new team and his recent performances are proof of progress being made. Last game, Schröder put up a season-high 23 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. The Celtics will certainly have the Wizards moving fast to the backcourt so lets see if their legs are ready. | |||||||
10-26-21 | Nuggets v. Jazz -7 | Top | 110-122 | Win | 100 | 18 h 40 m | Show |
The Nuggets are scoring an average of 106.0 points per game which is 21st in the league, while shooting 52.1% overall and 37.7% from downtown. Jokic Is the scoring leader for Denver with an average of 29.5 points per game and the center is shooting 65.9% overall and 37.5% from behind the line. Will Barton is Denver's dish-king with a team-high 5.5 assists per game and Barton is also the second-leading scorer with an average of 16.0 points per game. Denver has been careless with the ball as the Nuggets are averaging 19.0 turnovers per game. | |||||||
10-26-21 | Flames v. Devils OVER 6 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 106 | 15 h 49 m | Show |
I really like what Lindy Ruff has done in New Jersey so far. Despite their 3-1 record, Ruff was not happy with how his team performed during a 4-1 loss to the Capitals last Thursday. He shifted almost everyone around to see if they would have better offensive chemistry. He took his top line of Zacha, Hischier, and Jesper Bratt, who has been on the ice for just one 5 on 5 goals this season and dispersed them among the top three lines. We have seen him do this before and it seems that line shakeups have worked so far for the Devils. | |||||||
10-25-21 | Flames v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -103 | 15 h 56 m | Show |
Calgary played well on defense last season while receiving average goaltending. The Flames ranked 16th in goals against per game and sixth in shots against per game last season. Jacob Markstrom had a record of 22-19-2 with a 2.68 GAA and a .904 SV%. He has been inconsistent to start the season. Markstrom has allowed three goals or more in each of his first two starts but recorded a shutout in his last game started. Dan Vladar allowed three goals but picked up a win in his first start of the season. Markstrom and his sparkling .924 save percentage get the start for the Flames while Igor Shesterkin's numbers are even better to start the year. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Warriors v. Kings UNDER 232.5 | Top | 119-107 | Win | 100 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
The under in this series has cashed tickets in 9 of the last 13 meetings, while the under is 41-20 in the Warriors last 61 games when playing against teams with a losing home record. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Predators v. Wild OVER 5.5 | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 22 m | Show |
The Wild have looked like one of the best teams in the NHL and possess an offense that is scoring 3.75 goals per game. Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello have combined for five goals and three assists while Kirill Kaprizov is adding five assists but the backend of the forward unit has stepped up as well. Kevin Fiala and Marcus Foligno have combined for three goals and three assists, adding depth to the forward unit and making the Wild tough to stop. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Pistons v. Bulls -8 | Top | 82-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
The Chicago Bulls have completely revamped their roster around shooting guard Zach LaVine. Looking at last season, he averaged 27.4 points, five rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 0.8 steals in 35.1 minutes per game. He shot the ball well and should get better looks now as he shot 50.7 percent from the floor, 41.9 percent from three-point range, and 84.9 percent from the charity stripe. In his last game against the Detroit Pistons, he played 35 minutes and had 34 points, seven rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block. If LaVine can figure out how to be a team player and be content with less touches, this team has the potential to be special. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Temple v. South Florida UNDER 55 | Top | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Don’t get caught up in the 52-3 loss to Cincinnati – that’s just the way the American Athletic Conference rolls this year. Temple was able to get by Memphis in a key win thanks to a decent passing attack and just enough balance to get by. Oh there are issues, but the pass defense hasn’t been all that bad – at least until the last two games – there isn’t a turnover problem, and the team is rested after getting two weeks off. Now it gets a USF team that just can’t get this thing going. The Bulls struggle to get to 300 yards offensively | |||||||
10-23-21 | Ducks v. Wild UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
The Anaheim Ducks have lost two straight games. Their last game was a 5-1 loss against the Winnipeg Jets. Troy Terry scored Anaheim’s lone goal. John Gibson stopped 22 out of 26 shots faced. The offense was a major weakness for the Ducks last season. Anaheim finished last season ranking last in goals per game and shots per game. Max Comtois led the team with just 33 points last year. Anaheim started the season hot on offense. They have scored three goals or more in three out of the first five games this season. Jakob Silfverberg has recorded six points and has two multi-point games on the season. They still do not have a tremendous goal scorer and will not keep this offensive surge up for long. | |||||||
10-23-21 | East Carolina v. Houston UNDER 57 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 5 h 28 m | Show |
The Pirates have the parts to get into fun shootouts, but they’re not consistent enough. When the O rolls, they win. When it doesn’t, they lose, and by roll that means crank up 388 yards or more. Get there, and they’re 3-0. Don’t, and they’re 0-4. The other side of the ball hasn’t been bad. This is one of the better East Carolina defenses in a while, with the ability to get behind the line and the aggressiveness to come up with enough takeaways to matter | |||||||
10-22-21 | Jazz v. Kings OVER 225.5 | Top | 110-101 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 19 m | Show |
The Kings have returned to their high-octane, quick-moving style of basketball that has served them well in the last few seasons. They opened their new campaign with a 124-121 win against the Portland Trail Blazers on opening night. Harrison Barnes had an excellent night, with 36 points to lead the scoring. He had a career-high eight treys. De'Aaron Fox managed 27 points while Richaun Holmes had a double-double of 21 points and 11 boards. The Kings will push the pace so we know that the game will be played with an over tempo. I think the Kings get Utah into a track meet because they can't win a defensive struggle. | |||||||
10-22-21 | Oilers +124 v. Golden Knights | Top | 5-3 | Win | 124 | 17 h 22 m | Show |
The question remains, where are the goals going to come from? The Knights have/had seven players that were listed as day to day or worse. The Oilers are not a team that Vegas can match offensively right now, plus i think they are going to have to be more of a dump and chase team because the transition game won't work tonight with Pacioretty and Stone in the lineup. | |||||||
10-21-21 | Bucks v. Heat OVER 223.5 | Top | 95-137 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show |
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks did not let their ring ceremony get in the way as they easily handled the Nets at home 127-104 on opening night. In his first game since scoring 50 points in a title-clinching Game 6 NBA Finals victory over the Phoenix Suns, Antetokounmpo had 32 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists. Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton each added 20 points to help the Bucks withstand the loss of Jrue Holiday, who sat out the second half with a bruised right heel after scoring 12 points. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said MRI results on Holiday were encouraging. His status for this game remains questionable | |||||||
10-21-21 | Tulane v. SMU UNDER 71 | Top | 26-55 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 7 m | Show |
SMU is 47th in the nation in points allowed with an average of 22.2 per game. The Mustangs are allowing an average of 390.7 yards per game including 138.8 yards rushing and 251.8 yards per game passing. Opponents are averaging 3.8 yards per carry and 5.7 yards per play against the SMU defense. The Mustangs defense is led by linebacker Shaine Hailey, who has a team-best 37 tackles. The leader in quarterback sacks with 4.0 is defensive end Gary Wiley and the leader in interceptions with 2 is safety Isaiah Nwokobia. | |||||||
10-21-21 | Capitals v. Devils UNDER 6.5 | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
The New Jersey Devils have been doing well in the early stages of this season and one of the reasons is the play of center Jack Hughes. The Devils have three players listed on the injury report so they have a few long-term injuries to deal with. Hughes leads the team in points and goals with three points (two goals, one assist) this season. In the last game against the Seattle Kraken, he finished with an assist on one shot attempt in just 7:42 on the ice. Despite the emergence of Hughes, I think this is going to be a low scoring affair because the Devils simply don't have the firepower and the Capitals are sure to have a letdown after a big win over the Avalanche. | |||||||
10-20-21 | Blues v. Golden Knights UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 109 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
The injuries have piled up for Vegas although the Mark Stone injury is still listed as Day to day; Pacioretty has a fracture so he week to week. Roy, Carrier, Howden. 7 players are either out, day to day, or week to week. Injuries to the top and bottom of their forward depth. Carrier and Howden may be available for Wednesday. The closer this gets to puck drop, the more I'm convinced that Vegas will play more of a defense style. Lehner needs a bounce back at home. | |||||||
10-20-21 | Celtics +2 v. Knicks | Top | 134-138 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics have a solid team behind small forward Jayson Tatum. Looking at his numbers from last season, he finished with 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game in 35.8 minutes. Tatum needs to shoot a little better as he finished shooting 45.9 percent from the field, 38.6 percent from beyond the arc, and 86.8 percent from the charity stripe. He’s going to need to step up even more as they are trying to remain competitive in the East without as much help. | |||||||
10-19-21 | Warriors v. Lakers -152 | Top | 121-114 | Loss | -152 | 17 h 23 m | Show |
Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis are once again back for the Los Angeles Lakers but key additions to the roster could help lead Los Angeles to its second NBA title in the last three seasons. Triple double master Russell Westbrook and veteran sharpshooter Carmelo Anthony give instant offense and plenty of rebounding and assists to the Lakers, but more importantly, take much of the scoring and rebounding load off the shoulders of James and Davis. | |||||||
10-19-21 | Kings v. Predators UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
Two games into the season and Cody Glass is going to Milwaukee. That’s a big deal for this team offensively because he was supposed to be their third-line center and now they're still trying to figure out their line combos. Nashville calls where they are a competitive rebuild, I m not backing many overs when you’re in a rebuild. | |||||||
10-18-21 | Rangers v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 101 | 15 h 23 m | Show |
The Maple Leafs have struggled to keep a goalie in the net as they have used backup Jack Campbell in the net after Petr Mrazek is out for multiple weeks with a groin injury. He won his last game against the Senators and allowed one goal on 21 shots. On the season, he has allowed two goals on 63 shot attempts. Toronto has allowed five goals this season, which is 11th in the league. They drastically improved on the PK as they have allowed just two power-play goals on 10 power-play attempts (80 percent) this season. | |||||||
10-17-21 | Stars v. Senators UNDER 5.5 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
Through two games the Stars have managed just four regulation goals and now have to play on back-to-back nights after being shutdown by the Bruins to open their season. The Stars have been really good defensively while they wait for the offense to give their effort some support. Senators started their season with two straight unders in back-to-back games against Toronto. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Hurricanes -110 v. Predators | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 26 m | Show |

10-16-21 | Utah State v. UNLV UNDER 64 | Top | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show |
UNLV is getting more out of the passing game, and it’s been more competitive over the last few games, but there isn’t enough of a rushing attack, the pass rush is mediocre, the ability to come back isn’t there. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Tulsa v. South Florida UNDER 56.5 | Top | 32-31 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
A shootout is expected in this one but the total on this one is a little higher than I anticipated. I think the oddsmakers have given us enough cushion to easily cash this ticket. | |||||||
10-15-21 | Blackhawks v. Devils OVER 6 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show |
The Devils are coming off a strong preseason in which they won four out of five games. Alex Holtz and Pavel Zacha led the Devils in scoring with four points in three games. Dawson Mercer had three points (two goals) and made the team. The four preseason wins for the Devils included two tough road games, one in Bridgeport against the Islanders and one in Washington which were games against largely veteran squads. Devils were able to pull out overtime wins in each of these contests. Still not sure who will be in net for the Devils but regardless I think they'll be a ton of scoring. | |||||||
10-14-21 | Stars v. Rangers UNDER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 51 m | Show |
The Stars missed the postseason last year mostly because of their inability to create high danger chances and their ability to finish on the chance they did have. Rangers will be playing the second of a road back to back, off of a struggle to get anything past anything past Vanacek (Wash) once they finally were able to apply some pressure. For Dallas this is the first time we’ll see the new faces and I suspect it will take them a few games to gel. Dallas got over the 3 goal mark once in preseason, which means we would have to lean on the rangers to bump us over that total and nothing I saw last night gives me a secure feeling about that. | |||||||
10-13-21 | Canucks v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 48 m | Show |
I think this will be a high scoring game, mostly because I question whether or not Mike Smith still has the ability to help produce unders consistently. Word out of Camp is that Smith doesn't look as sharp as he was in years past. The major positive to his game is puck-handling, watch to see if that part of his game is still sharp. | |||||||
10-12-21 | Penguins v. Lightning OVER 6 | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
The Penguins were one of the best teams in the NHL last season led by an offense that scored 3.45 goals per game. The question will be if the Penguins offense can remain potent without the backend scoring as they lost Jared McCann, Frederick Gaudreau, and Brandon Tanev in the offseason who combined for 28 goals and 34 assists last season. Moreover, star forward Sidney Crosby who scored 24 goals and 38 assists last season, is out for the opening game with an injury, requiring Bryan Rust and Jake Guentzel to lead the top line as the duo combined for 45 goals and 54 assists last season. | |||||||
10-10-21 | Bills v. Chiefs UNDER 56.5 | Top | 38-20 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 15 m | Show |
The Chiefs blitzed Allen 18 times in the AFC title game last year and recorded 13 pressures, 6 QB hits, and 4 sacks. Kansas City’s defensive backs played physical against the Bills receivers and the newest addition at the receiver spot. I expect that approach in this one. | |||||||
10-10-21 | Giants v. Cowboys UNDER 53 | Top | 20-44 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 25 m | Show |
10 of the Giants last 12 games have cashed under tickets along with 8 of 10 as a dog. Four of the Cowboys last five games have gone under the total as a favorite. | |||||||
10-10-21 | Bears v. Raiders UNDER 46 | Top | 20-9 | Win | 100 | 2 h 14 m | Show |
The defensive line has been a really bright spot for Las Vegas. Maxx Crosby leads the NFL in pressures and Yannick Ngakoue has been exactly what they’ve hoped for when they signed him early this offseason. Keep an eye on Darius Philon, who recorded two sacks last week against the Chargers. He gives them another disruptive interior rusher. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Giants | Top | 9-2 | Win | 160 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
Los Angeles averaged 5.11 runs per game during the season. Their .244 batting average was 11th in the league. Their .330 on base percentage was fifth, while their .429 slugging percentage was seventh. Los Angeles’ pitching was among the best during the season. Opponents had a .207 batting against the Dodgers, which was first in the league. Their 3.01 ERA also led the league, as did their 1.10 WHIP. In his last start, Urias gave up one hit and one run in 6.1 innings, leading to an 8-3 win over Milwaukee. | |||||||
10-09-21 | New Mexico +19.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 7-31 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 56 m | Show |
So what went right in the 30-3 loss to UTEP? Not much, but the defense was able to clamp down a bit in the second half, LB Trevor Brohard turned in a nice day, and … That was about it. However, the Aggies got in a few games of work in the spring and have a date under its belt before dealing with San Diego State in a strange off-campus location while the new Aztec Stadium is being built. This remains a San Diego State team that might have to find a consistently dangerous offense, it’s not going to be in familiar surroundings | |||||||
10-09-21 | Utah +3 v. USC | Top | 42-26 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
It’s been a rough, rough run for the Utes – more on that in a moment – but football-wise, the team has been off for a few weeks after a desperately needed 24-13 win over Washington State. The running game started to kick it all in against the Cougars with a season-high 219 yards. This week it has to pound and pound some more against a USC defensive front that’s been fine against the mediocre but failed against the Oregon State ground attack. It’s a horribly inconsistent Trojan team – which you might expect considering the early season coaching change – with way too many penalties, not enough defensive plays behind the line, and too many turnovers. The three against Washington State made it tough early, and the four against Oregon State were devastating. Utah is 2-0 when it comes up with multiple takeaways, and 0-2 when it doesn’t | |||||||
10-09-21 | East Carolina v. Central Florida -10 | Top | 16-20 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
The UCF offense might not be the high-powered fun show it’s supposed to be, but it still has the running game to control things against the struggling ECU defensive front. Being back at home should matter. This is a much different team in the Bounce House, Keene and the offense should be a wee bit sharper after getting a game out of the way with Gabriel out, and the offensive balance should be there to take control of the game. |
