01-05-22 | Oilers v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Leafs UNDER. I am on the under in the Edmonton Oilers vs Toronto Maple Leafs game on Wednesday. The Oilers have not been scoring goals since the beginning of the new year, they have played in 2 games in January and both of those games went under with exactly 5 goals total in each of those. The Oilers have not scored 3+ goals in those 2 games either and they have only scored 3+ goals in 1 of their 4 games since coming back from the Christmas break. They also haven't won a game since before the break and they haven't really looked good in their games lately. Connor McDavid tested positive for covid yesterday too so he will not be playing in this game but he is not the only player, there are a few other key players on the Oilers offense who will not be available for this game and I don't think that is going to be the last either now that covid has hit there team it will probably run through a few of their players. The Leafs are pretty healthy for this game, the only player that is banged up is Matthews and he may not play but even if he does I don't think he will be contributing a lot of offense here. The Leafs have only played 1 game since December 14th and that was a 6-0 rout of the Senators on January 1st. Their offense looked great in that game but the Sens are not a great team and I expect them to have more trouble scoring on the Oilers here. I also think they are going to be a little rusty and sluggish after not really playing a game for over 2 weeks and then just jumping back in with 1 game 4 days ago. Their defense has looked great too and they have only given up 1 goal in their 2 most recent games. With the Oilers missing a lot of key forwards here I expect them to play better defense since the Leafs are a strong offensive team. The Leafs have also been great on defense lately and I don't think the Oilers will score much on them with their offense already underperforming lately and will now be missing players that they had in those games. I think this is going to be a low scoring game so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Leafs. | |||||||
01-04-22 | LSU v. Kansas State OVER 47.5 | Top | 20-42 | Win | 100 | 39 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LSU/Kansas State OVER. I am on the over in the LSU vs Kansas State game on Tuesday. LSU had a very up and down year but they managed to finish 6-6 to just sneak their way into this bowl game. They looked pretty good in their final 2 games, winning both of them to get to this game and putting up 27 points in both of them. There has been times this year that their offense has looked really good though and they have put up 40+ points in a few games this year. Their defense has also looked bad in a lot of games though and they have given up 40+ points in a few games this year too. Kansas State lost their 2 most recent games to finish the year but they did not need to win those games to get here as they had 7 wins already before those 2 losses. They had to face 2 tough teams in those games but in their 3 games before that where they played teams with defenses that weren't that great, just like the LSU defense, they were able to put up 30+ points in all 3 of those games. I think Kansas State will be able to put up a ton of points on LSU here since their offense has looked great in a lot of games this year and LSU has looked shaky on defense in a lot of games. LSU gave up 24 points to Texas A&M in their final game of the regular season but I think Kansas State will be able to score more here. I also think LSU will be trying hard to win this game and put up points since they tried so hard to win those last 2 games and get here. The total is not very high in this game and I think both teams can easily put up 20+ points in this game and shoot over that total. i like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-31 Kansas State. | |||||||
01-04-22 | Pacers v. Knicks -1.5 | Top | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Tuesday. The Knicks have lost 2 games in a row now and they have not looked good in those games, losing to 2 of the worst teams in the league. I think they are going to embarrassed after those 2 losses and they are going to bounce back in this home game. The Knicks did not look good in their most recent loss to the Raptors but they were playing great defense in their games before that 1, not giving up 100+ points in 3 games in a row. They just got back from a 4 game road trip but I expect them to play much better defense now that they are back on their home court. The Pacers haven't looked any better than the Knicks have in their games lately, the Pacers have actually looked worse than the Knicks lately. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row now and 2 of those losses were at home where they are a much better team. I don't think the Pacers are going to play well on the here since they haven't looked good in general lately and they have only won 3/17 road games this year. They have also been playing worse on defense than the Knicks have been. The Pacers have given up 100+ points to the opposing team in 9 games in a row and I don't think anything is going to change in this game. I think the Knicks are going to play well on their home court and I expect the Pacers to struggle on the road again while the Knicks shut them down with their defense. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here and get a much needed bounce back win here at home. T.M. Prediction: 107-97 Knicks. | |||||||
01-04-22 | Grizzlies v. Cavs OVER 217.5 | 110-106 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Cavaliers OVER. I am on the over in the Memphis Grizzlies vs Cleveland Cavaliers game on Tuesday. The Grizzlies have looked great in their games lately and they have been putting up a lot of points. They have put up 110+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games, including their 2 most recent games where they scored 118 points in both. Their offense has been performing so well in their games lately that their defense has been left to rot a bit. They have given up 100+ points to the opposing team in 10 games in a row now. The Grizzlies just won a big game against the Nets in Brooklyn 118-104 and I think that they are going to put up a ton of points in this game too. The Cavaliers are missing some starters that will play a role in their defensive play and I think that this game is going to turn into a shootout as the Cavs try to match the shooting and scoring from the Grizzlies in this game. The Cavaliers have also been having a good season though and they have some good players on their team still that can shoot the ball and put up points. The Cavaliers have been very consistent on offense this year and have put up 100+ points in 19 of their previous 20 games. They have even had some really high scoring games lately, putting up 144 points in 1 of their games from their previous 5. I don't think the Cavaliers will be able to slow down the Grizzlies in this game with their defense so the only way they will be able to keep up is to match their scoring and both of these teams can shoot well and put up the points. I am expecting a high scoring game here with not a lot of defense so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 119-113 Grizzlies. | |||||||
01-04-22 | Kentucky v. LSU OVER 139.5 | 60-65 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kentucky/LSU OVER. I am on the over in the Kentucky vs LSU game on Tuesday. Kentucky has looked great in their games lately and they have been putting up a lot of points in their games too. Kentucky has put up 80+ points in 4 games in a row now and they have put up 90+ points in 3 of those games. Their defense has been great this year too, they have only given up 70+ points in 1 game this year and that game was against Duke, another ranked team. That was really the only ranked team they have faced this year and now they take on a ranked LSU team that only has 1 loss all year. I think that Kentucky is going to struggle to play defense as well as they have been playing all year and I expect LSU to put up some points in this game just like Kentucky. LSU has also had some high scoring games lately, putting up 85+ points in 2 of their previous 4 games. They just lost their most recent game to Auburn, another ranked team, and they gave up 70 points in that game while only putting up 55 points themselves. That was their 1st road game of the year and I expect them to play much better on their home court in this game. I think LSU is going to be upset about that loss since it was their 1st loss of the season and I'm expecting a much better effort on offense in this game as they try to bounce back. I think this is going to be a close game that is high scoring since both of these teams have a good offense and like to shoot a lot. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 80-78 LSU. | |||||||
01-03-22 | Browns v. Steelers -1 | 14-26 | Win | 100 | 14 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Monday. The Steelers have had a very up and down year, they are 7-7-1 at the moment and they have been finding ways to win games all year even though they have not looked the greatest in a lot of those games. As up and down as they have been all year, they still managed to beat the Browns in Cleveland in their 1st meeting and I think they can do the same here in this game now that they are the home team. The Steelers still have a chance to make it to the playoffs if they can win out the rest of the year then they give themselves a great chance because they have 1 tie this year and if there are any 9-8 teams at the end of the year, the Steelers will be ahead of them and get that playoff spot because of their 9-7-1 record at that point. They will still have to rely on some other teams to lose since there are a few that can get to 10 wins still but their battle starts with winning their final 2 games. The Browns have come close to winning lately, losing their 2 most recent games by 2 points in both of them. Baker Mayfield has been dealing with a lot of injuries though and he is out there every week with a harness on as it is the only way he can play with his shoulder intact. I think the injuries have just been too much for the Browns to overcome this year and what started out as a promising year for them was derailed by those key injuries and some losses of players to covid in key games. I think the Steelers have the momentum coming into this game and they have more motivation to win here with a better chance to make the playoffs than the Browns. I like the Steelers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 20-16 Steelers. | |||||||
01-03-22 | Washington v. Arizona OVER 151 | 79-95 | Win | 100 | 14 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington/Arizona OVER. I am on the over in the Washington vs Arizona game on Monday. Washington just played a game where they only scored 52 points but in every other game this year they have put up 60+ points. I think they will probably put up around that many points in this game like they have all year but their defense has not looked great in their games this year and I think Arizona will be able to put up a ton of points on them in this game and Washington will be force to go on the offensive more and put up points of their own. Arizona is a much better team than Washington is and they have already had a few games where they put up 100+ points. Their defense isn't the greatest though so I think Washington will be able to score some points here too. Arizona has given up 60+ points in 6 games in a row but they have given up 75+ point in 3 of their 4 previous games. Arizona has actually put up 70+ points in every game this year and they have put up 80+ points in every single game this year except for 1. Arizona is a very strong offensive team that normally puts up 80+ or 90+ points every night but that is because their defense is not that great and they give up around 60+ and 70+ points to opposing teams in every game. Washington is probably not good enough to keep this game close but they will be able to put up points on Arizona and I think Arizona is going to try to score a lot to make up for that. I think this should be a high scoring game so I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 94-69 Arizona. | |||||||
01-03-22 | Rockets v. 76ers -13 | 113-133 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Monday. The 76ers have looked a lot better in their games lately winning 3 games in a row now. They won 1 of those 3 games by 20+ points on the road while the other 2 games they won within 10 points but they were still on the road for both of those and they took down the Nets in their most recent game who were basically healthy with both Durant and Harden starting alongside a few of their other starter. The 76ers will get to be at home here and their team does not seem to be missing too many key players for this game so I expect a great effort from the 76ers in this game now that they have started to gain some steam. The 76ers have a lot of ground to make up sitting in 6th place in the East and I think they are going to start turning on the jets in their next few games while they are rolling. The Rockets have been terrible this year and they have looked especially bad in their games lately. The Rockets started their year in a huge slump, then they broke out of it and went on a run where they won their most of their wins this year, and now they have reverted back into a massive slump losing 7 games in a row now. They have 1 win in their previous 10 games and they are not even keeping close in any of these games. They have lost 7 games in a row by 10+ points and their previous 9 losses were all by 10+ points too. I don't think anything is going to change for them here especially with the way the 76ers have been playing lately. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-95 76ers. | |||||||
01-03-22 | Oilers v. Rangers OVER 6 | 1-4 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Rangers OVER. I am on the over in the Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers game on Monday. The Oilers only had 5 goals scored in their most recent game but there has been 6+ goals in their 5 games in a row before that one. The Oilers have scored 2+ goals in 5 games in a row but they have also 5 goals themselves in 3 of those games. Their defense and their goaltending has looked shaky in their games lately though. They have given up 3+ goals in 4 games in a row and I think that is going to continue in this game. The Rangers have also been playing in some high scoring games lately. There has been 7+ goals in 2 of their previous 3 games and 5+ goals in 5 of their previous 6 games. The Rangers just scored 4 goals in their most recent game and I think they will be able to get by this Oilers defense that has not looked great at times in their games lately. The Ranger have also scored 4 goals in both of their 2 most recent games and have 3+ goals in 3 games in a row. I think that the Rangers will be able to score on the Oilers here and they will likely keep up with the way their offense has been rolling and score another 3+ goals in this game. The Oilers have not looked good on defense lately but their offense can still score a lot of goals and I think they are going to score a lot in this game too. I think the Rangers will probably take a lead early and the Oilers will be fighting back the whole game trying to score goals to keep tying the game up. There should be a ton of goals in this game with the 2 strong offenses and defenses that have not been at their best. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Rangers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Vikings v. Packers -13 | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 17 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Sunday. The Packers have won 4 games in a row but they haven't looked their best in their 2 most recent games as those 2 games were very close and they could've lost either 1. I think the Packers are going to step up here and get a big win after B2B scares the last 2 weeks. The Packers are in the driver seat right now, they have total control of their own fate and can clinch the best seed in the NFC if they win out the rest of their season. Their last loss also came against the Vikings in Minnesota just over a month ago so this is a big revenge spot for the Packers and I think they are going to want to come out and bury them early to ensure they get the win this time. Kirk Cousins will also likely be missing this game with covid and the Vikings are currently dealing with that going around their team. The Packers should have been able to destroy the Vikings with them at full strength but now it should be a lot easier. I think the Vikings are going to struggle to score on the Packers here and the packers have a lot of extra motivation to win this game. The Vikings have not put up more than 24 points in their previous 2 games and that was with Cousins playing. I think they are going to have a hard time scoring at all in this game so I like the Packers to cover the spread here with a huge performance on Sunday night and make a statement. T.M. Prediction: 35-6 Packers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Flames -162 v. Blackhawks | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to beat the Chicago Blackhawks in this game on Sunday. The Flames had lost 4 games in a row going into the break but they have come out of the break playing great with a 6-4 win over the Kraken in their 1st game back. They scored 6 goals in that game and their offense looked really good. The Blackhawks have not been having a good year and they are 1 of the worst teams in the league by far. They had lost 2 games in a row going into the break and they came out of the break losing 6-1 to the Predators in their 1st game back yesterday. The Blackhawks have given up 3+ goals in 5 games in a row and their defense has just looked terrible. I think that the Flames are going to score a lot in this game with the way their offense has been playing and the way the Chicago defense has been. The Flames are really good and are 1 of the best teams in the West right now. I think they are going to win this game by a lot, they are the better team and they are starting to get on a roll again while the Blackhawks are in their usual slump. I like the Flames to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Flames. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Pacers +3.5 v. Cavs | 104-108 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana Pacers. I like the Indiana Pacers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Sunday. The pacers have lost 3 games in a row but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. The Pacers came very close in their most recent game losing by 2 to the Bulls on a buzzer beater shot. The Pacers are going to be healthier in this game but the Cavaliers are missing some key players and I think that is going to be their downfall in this game. The Cavaliers have also lost 3 games in a row and they have come close in a few of those games but I think they are going to feel the loss of Garlund in this game. The Cavaliers are starting to come back down to Earth in their games lately and the Pacers have been underperforming all year. I think this is a great spot for the Pacers to catch a weakened Cavaliers lineup and I think the Pacers can sneak a win out in this game. I like the Pacers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-108 Pacers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Houston -11.5 v. Temple | 66-61 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston. I like Houston to cover the spread against Temple in this game on Sunday. Houston has looked good in their games lately. They have won 3 games in a row and they were all by 10+ points. This game will mark the start of their conference play and I expect Houston to come out with a bang and win big. They have the best record in their conference at the moment and they are the 12th ranked team in the country. They have only played 1 road game though and they lost that game by 1 point to a good Alabama team. Temple is no Alabama so I expect Houston to have a much easier time winning this game on the road and start forging their path to the conference title. Temple has not looked the greatest this year with a 7-5 record but they are already down 1 game in the conference losing to UCF by almost 20 points. Temple has only lost 5 games this year but their last 4 losses were all by around 20 points. Houston is a very good team and I think they are going to play well here to start their conference play off on the right foot. Temple has played well in some of their games but when they lose they usually lose by a lot and Houston is a team that could definitely end up blowing them out by 20 points. I like Houston to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-66 Houston. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Lions +7.5 v. Seahawks | Top | 29-51 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Seattle Seahawks in this game on Sunday. The Lions have started to look a lot better in their games lately and I think that they are going to come to play another good game here. They have 2 wins in their previous 4 games but they have come really close in a lot of games all year and their record could be very different if a few different things went their way instead. They lost their most recent game to the Falcons by 4 points but they were missing a lot of players in that game. They will be getting some of their players back here but their QB will likely be Tim Boyle in this game. Boyle didn't look terrible in their previous game and they had a chance to beat the Falcons that entire game. The Seahawks have not been any better this year with a losing record and a very bad defense. The Seahawks have lost 2 games in a row and their offense just hasn't looked good as they have struggled to score points all year. The Seahawks also have 1 of the worst defenses in the league and they give up a lot of yards to opposing teams so I think Tim Boyle will be able to move the ball on them with ease now that he has played some games as a starter too. I think the Lions are going to try and finish their year strong and get a few wins to build on for next year. The Seahawks haven't been great this year and I think the Lions have the heart to keep this a close game. I like the Lions to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Seahawks. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Broncos v. Chargers -7.5 | 13-34 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos in this game on Sunday. The Chargers are 1 of those 8-7 teams that are still fighting for a playoff spot and with a lot of teams very close in the standings with their records, this game is very important to the Chargers. The Chargers have lost 2 games in a row now after winning 2 in a row and I think it is time for them to bounce back here. They were embarrassed in their most recent game when they went to Houston and lost to the Texans 41-29. The Chargers were missing a lot of players in that game but that was a really bad loss that shouldn't have happened and I think they will be hungry to blow out the Broncos here after having to sit on that loss for a week. The Chargers will be getting some key offensive players back for this game which should help them score easier and put up more points on the Broncos here. The Broncos have lost 2 games in a row but they haven't looked good in any games lately. Their offense hasn't scored 14+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. Their defense has still looked good but they will have a tough time stopping this Chargers offense that has been getting healthier and they will likely be on the field a lot as the Broncos offense has looked bad in those same games. I think this is a game that the Chargers are going to make a statement in after last week and the Broncos have a weak offense that will not be able to keep up with their current QB situation. I like the Chargers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Chargers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Raiders +8.5 v. Colts | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas Raiders. I like the Las Vegas Raiders to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Raiders have looked a lot better in their games lately with 2 wins in a row now and their defense has been holding up well in those games. The Raiders haven't given up 15+ points in their 2 most recent games and I expect their defense to continue playing well in this game too. The Raiders are still fighting for a playoff spot and they need a win in this game to give themselves the best chance of making it in to a Wild Card spot. The Colts have won 3 games in a row but they didn't look that great in their most recent game against the Cardinals. They made a lot of mistakes in that game but still came out with the win thanks to Taylor. I think the Raiders are going to be able to slow down Taylor in this game and force Wentz to throw the ball more. Wentz did not look great in their previous game and if he is forced to throw the ball more he will make some bad decisions. The spread is a lot here and I think the Raiders can keep this a close game. I like the Raiders to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-16 Colts. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Bucs v. Jets OVER 45.5 | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Buccaneers/Jets OVER. I am on the over in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New York Jets game on Sunday. The Buccaneers responded well last week to their 9-0 shutout loss with a huge 32-6 win in Carolina against the Panthers. The Buccaneers have scored 30+ points in 5 of their previous 6 games now. Their offense has looked really good and the Jets defense has looked very bad in games this year. I think that Tom Brady and the Bucs offense is going to have a field day in this game and just keep putting up points all game. I think the Jets are not going to be able to stop this offense and I think the Bucs will score 30+ points with ease on them, even getting to 40+ points. The Jets offense has looked better in their games lately, they won their most recent game and have put up 24+ points in their previous 2 games. They still gave up 31 points to the Dolphins and 21 points to the Jaguars in those 2 games though and that is really bad considering the Dolphins strength is their defense and the Jaguars are just plain bad but they still scored 21 points on them. If the Jaguars can score 20 points on the Jets then the Bucs are going to end up scoring 50+ points on this terrible defense. I think the Jets will be able to put up some points too though since Wilson has looked better in their previous 2 games. I also think their defense is so bad though that the Bucs could probably put up enough points themselves to send this game over the total. I think there is going to be a lot of scoring here so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 48-17 Buccaneers. | |||||||
01-01-22 | Clippers v. Nets -11.5 | 120-116 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the LA Clippers in this game on Saturday. The Nets just lost their most recent game to the 76ers at home by 8 points and they had a lot of their starters playing in that game so I'm expecting them to bounce back here. The Nets still look pretty healthy for this game but the Clippers aren't and I think the Nets can take advantage of that. The Clippers are going to be missing Paul George in this game, Batum is also questionable to play and Zubac might not play due to covid. Right before the Nets lost to the 76ers in their most recent game, they played the Clippers in the game before that 1 and they won in LA by 16 points. The Clippers were missing George and Batum in that game but they had Zubac and the Nets were missing both Durant and Aldridge. The difference with this game is now the Nets are at home and they have both Durant and Aldridge back for this game but now the Clippers are going to be missing the same 2 players as before plus Zubac might miss the game too. I think with the Clippers travelling here very shorthanded, this game is going to be a lot worse than the game in LA a few nights ago. The Nets have most of their players for this game and I expect them to beat the Clippers by even more than they did in that last meeting. I like the Nets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 126-103 Nets. | |||||||
01-01-22 | Oilers v. Islanders OVER 5.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Islanders OVER. I am on the under in the Edmonton Oilers vs New York Islanders game on Saturday. The Oilers have played in 2 games since coming back from the NHL's break and both of those games were high scoring games with 6+ goals in them. The Oilers even gave up 4+ goals in both of those games and did not look great on defense in either. Even going back to before the break, the Oilers have had 6+ goals in 5 games in a row. They just played the day before in New Jersey and lost that game 6-5. That was an afternoon game and their defense did not look good in that game playing that early and they will be playing around the same time today. They are also on a B2B so they will likely be starting their backup goalie to give Smith some rest. The Islanders have had a terrible year as they have been hit by covid hard and had to play through a lot of those games but they have looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 of their previous 3 games and putting up 3+ goals in all of those games. I think the Islanders are going to continue to play well here at home and I expect the Oilers to let in a lot of goals here since their defense hasn't looked great lately. The Oilers still have that potent offense though so they are not just going to get shut out in this game. I think there's going to be a lot of goals here so I like this game to go over. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Islanders. | |||||||
01-01-22 | Villanova v. Seton Hall +1.5 | 73-67 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seton Hall. I like Seton Hall to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Saturday. Seton Hall had won 6 games in a row before losing to providence in their most recent game. They lost that game by 5 points on the road and it was their 1st game of conference play this year. Seton Hall has had a pretty good offense this year though and they have put up 70+ points in a lot of their games. They have also looked good on defense and have only given up 70+ points in 3 of their games this year. Villanova has already played 2 games of conference play this year and they are 1-1 in those games, winning 1 in their most recent game against Xavier. Their 2 games before that 1 they lost, both of them were on the road where they have a losing record this year and both of those losses were by 20+ points. Villanova has not looked good on offense lately either. They scored 71 points in their most recent games but they failed to get over 60 points and 40 points in the 2 games before that and they have scored 70+ points in just that 1 game of their previous 4. I think Villanova is going to struggle on the road again like they have all year and I expect Seton Hall to be hungry for a bounce back win in this game. Seton Hall was rolling over teams right before they lost that game and I think they are going to get back on that train. I like Seton Hall to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-64 Seton Hall. | |||||||
12-31-21 | Spurs v. Grizzlies -6.5 | 105-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies. I like the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread against the San Antonio Spurs in this game on Friday. The Grizzlies have a really good team this year, they are 1 of 4 teams in the West who already have 20+ wins on the year. They have also won a lot of their games while missing 1 of their best players Ja Morant but he is back in the lineup now and the team is playing even better. When he 1st came back they had lost a few games as they needed to get back into rhythm with him on the court but now that they have, they have won 3 games in a row knocking off the Kings, Suns, and Lakers. The Grizzlies have also looked great on defense lately, they have played 17 games in a row without giving up more than 106 points to any opposing team except for the Suns and the Warriors in 1 game each but those are the 2 best teams in the NBA and both scored exactly 113 points on the Grizzlies. Ja Morant just put up 40+ points in their most recent game too as he lifted his team over the Lakers and I expect him to continue that great play in this game. The Spurs haven't looked bad in their games lately but they just lost a game to the Jazz and they were missing their best player Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz still have a lot of talent without Mitchell and are a good team either way but the Grizzlies have a lot of talent too that will be playing in this game and if the Spurs couldn't take advantage of a weaker Jazz lineup, then I don't think they will do much on a Grizzlies lineup that has most of their starters playing in this game. I think the Grizzlies are going to continue to roll here so I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-104 Grizzlies. | |||||||
12-31-21 | Georgia v. Michigan UNDER 46 | 34-11 | Win | 100 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia/Michigan UNDER. I am on the under in the Georgia vs Michigan game on Friday. I expect this to be a low scoring game with this being on such a big stage on the national level. Both of these teams got to this game by playing great defense all year and winning their games like that so I expect this game to be no different here. Both of these teams are run heavy teams that will want to run a lot in this game to try and control the clock and wear down the other defense with tough physical play. Neither team really has a star QB that has a great arm and can make the big throws so both are going to lean on what got them to this game, running and defense. Georgia led the country in defense this year giving up less than 10 points per game, and that number was actually less than 7 points before they played Alabama. Michigan was also great all year and their defense was tied for 4th in the country giving up less than 15 points per game. Even if either of these teams had a QB that stands out, it would still be very difficult to score on either defense. Michigan also has a very good run defense which will slow down the Georgia offense but Georgia also has some big D-lineman that will be able to stuff Michigan's run game here. I think between the strong running games and the strong defenses here, this should be a low scoring game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 21-10 Georgia. | |||||||
12-31-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 135 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights -1.5. I like the Vegas Golden Knights on the puckline against the Anaheim Ducks in this game on Friday. The Golden Knights looked good leading up to the break that the NHL took with just 1 loss in their previous 7 games. Their 1st game back from the break was against the Kings on Tuesday and they won that game 6-3, not only winning by -1.5 but also scoring 6 goals with a strong offensive performance in that game. That has been a common them for them all year and they have scored 3+ goals in 12 games in a row now. I think that they will be able to outscore the Ducks here and I expect the Golden Knights to kick it into gear now that the new year is basically here and they have taken over the top spot in their division. The Ducks are right behind them in 2nd place by 1 point so I expect the Knights to put the Ducks in their place here and give themselves some room in 1st place. The Ducks have lost 2 games in a row but they have only played 1 game since coming back from the break, that game was a loss in OT to the Canucks. The Ducks were unable to score a lot in that game with just 1 goal and I expect that scoring trouble to carry over into this game. Vegas has been a very high scoring team all year and they average over 3 goals per game. I think the Knights are the better team here and after a slow start to their year, they have finally worked their way back to 1st place and I expect them to try really hard to keep it. I think the Knights are going to outscore the Ducks here by a lot so I like the Golden Knights on the puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Golden Knights. | |||||||
12-30-21 | UTEP v. UAB -12.5 | 62-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UAB. I like UAB to cover the spread against UTEP in this game on Thursday. UAB has looked really good in their games lately. UAB has won 5 of their previous 6 games and they have been winning those games by a lot of points. They won by 14+ points in 4 of those wins and they have been playing great on their home court this year. UAB has 1 loss at home in 9 home games this year and that loss was to West Virginia but UTEP is not as good as West Virginia is and every other team that UAB has played on their home court they have won against by 13+ points. UAB has also looked great on offense lately putting up 70+ points in their 5 previous wins including 2 games where they scored 100+ points. They have also looked good on defense too though. They have not given up 65+ points in 4 games in a row and they have only done it in 1 game in their previous 7 games. UTEP just lost at home to Bradley in their most recent game and Bradley is not having that great of a year just barely keeping a winning record at 7-6. I think UTEP is going to struggle in this game being on the road in their 1st game of conference play this year. I think UAB plays a lot better on their home court this year and I expect them to play well on defense in this game and get some key stops that will help them extend their lead and take stress off their offense. I think UAB also has a good offense though and will be able to keep pouring on the points to pull away from UTEP in this game. I like UAB to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 82-62 UAB. | |||||||
12-30-21 | Bucks -12.5 v. Magic | 136-118 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Bucks. I like the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Thursday. The Bucks have won 4 games in a row now and they have looked good in most of those games. Their most recent game was a win over the Magic in Orlando by 17 points on Tuesday night. The Bucks are going to be playing the Magic in Orlando again in this game but nothing has really changed for the Magic with their covid and injury situation since then. I think the Bucks are going to beat them by a lot again in this game and I'm expecting a similar result as the other night. The Bucks are healthy for this game while the Magic still have 13 players on the injury report. Most of their bench depth is going to miss this game with covid and a few of their starters are going to miss the game with just regular injuries. The Magic have lost 3 games in a row and they haven't looked great in those games. They have already struggled to win games all year at full strength but now the obstacles keep piling up for them and making it even more difficult to win games. I don't think the Magic are going to be able to keep up with Giannis and the Bucks here and I'm expecting them to get another big win in this game similar to the other night. This is basically a very thin Magic lineup against a very healthy Bucks lineup so I like the Bucks to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 121-97 Bucks. | |||||||
12-30-21 | Pittsburgh +3 v. Michigan State | 21-31 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh. I like Pittsburgh to cover the spread against Michigan State in this game on Thursday. Pittsburgh had a great year this year leading the ACC with their record and they even went on to win the conference with a blowout win against Wake Forest in the title game. They have won 5 games in a row and 4 of those wins were by 10+ points. Their offense has looked great all year and they have put up 30+ points in 6 games in a row. Their QB Kenny Pickett has declared for the NFL draft and won't be playing in this game but I still think that their offense will be able to move the ball with all of the talent they have in the run game and receiving. Michigan State also had a great year but they didn't have the year they were hoping for. They had high hopes for the playoffs but they stumbled in their last few games and failed to make it, even falling short of the Big 10 title game too. Michigan State is also going to be missing a few players on the offense for this game and I think that is going to be a problem for them since their offense was not that strong all year. Michigan State had a great defense all year and that's what they were known for but their defense has not looked good in their games lately and I think Pittsburgh will be able to score a lot of points on them here. They have given up 20+ points in 5 games in a row but 3 of those games they gave up 30+ points in and they even allowed 40+ points in 2 of those games. I think Pittsburgh is still going to be able to move the ball and score here and I think Michigan State is going to struggle to score points and stop Pittsburgh on defense here. I like Pittsburgh to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
12-30-21 | Purdue v. Tennessee -6.5 | 48-45 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee. I like Tennessee to cover the spread against Purdue in this game on Thursday. Tennessee has won 2 games in a row to finish their regular season and they looked really good in those games. They put up 45+ points on offense in both of those games while giving up no more than 21 points in either game. Tennessee didn't have the best season that they were hoping for but they showed some flashes of what they can do this year with Josh Heupel and they were definitely trending in the right direction this year compared to some of the other years they have had. I think that Tennessee is going to play hard in this game to end their year off right with a nice win and lay some more blocks to build off of next year in the program. Purdue has also won 2 games in a row and have won 4 of their previous 5 games, knocking off some good teams during that time like Michigan State. Purdue will be missing a few of their starters in this game for various reasons and I think that is going to have a big impact on the way they play in this game. They are going to be missing their star WR David Bell since he has declared for the 2022 NFL draft along with a few others of their key players on both offense and defense. I think that Tennessee should have an easier time scoring on this weakened defense but their offense has looked really good anyway so I'm expecting them to score a lot of points here. I also think that Purdue is not going to be as good on offense as they have been all year with their missing players and Tennessee has a decent defense so I expect them to get a lot of stops here. I like Tennessee to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-20 Tennessee. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Oregon v. Oklahoma OVER 60.5 | 32-47 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma/Oregon OVER. Passing Offense coordinator Brain McClendon will coach Oregon in this contest before taking over at Akron. Oklahoma will also have an interim coach, with Hall of Fame coach Bob Stoops stepping in for his former squad with former coach Lincoln Riley having left to coach at USC. Oregon finished 10-3. It was likely just one win away from a CFP spot. The only problem with the Ducks right now is their defense, which over its last 3 games has allowed 38, 29 and 38 points. Keep your eyes on RB Travis Dye, who has 1,118 rushing yards and 15 TD's. Six of Oklahoma's ten victories came by 7 points or less. Key players today for the Sooners include QB Caleb Williams, RB Kennedy Brooks. Stoops has never had an issue on the offensive side of the ball. Oregon will have a new look next year, so it'll be giving plenty of players an opportunity today as well. I expect a faster-paced, wide-open 'over' in this one! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Oilers v. Blues OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Blues OVER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). This is obviously a very high number, but not nearly high enough in my estmation. The Oilers average 3.41 GPG, which is 6th in the league, but the problem for them has been on the defensive side, where they concede a poor 3.10 GPG, which is ranked 21st. St. Louis averages 3.35 GPG, which is ranked seventh, and it allows 2.68 GPG which is ranked tenth. Both have been superb on the power play though, as St. Louis converts on 29.5 percent of it chances (3rd), while Edmonton converts on 31.9 percent of its (ranked 1st.) Loo for these two teams to push the pace and for this total to eclipse the posted number easily! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Hawks v. Bulls OVER 221.5 | Top | 117-131 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bulls/Hawks OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Chicago averages 110.1 points per game. It's coming off a 130-118 win at Atlanta just two nights ago. Atlanta averages 110.1 PPG as well. The Hawks however have seen the total fly 'over' the number in 7 of their last 10 in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent in which it conceded 130 or more points in. These two teams just played to an extremely high-scoring affair and I don't predict that the shift in venue will have any effect on their pace tonight. With the Hawks out for revenge, everything points to this one eclipsing the posted number as the game comes down the stretch! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-21 | LSU v. Auburn -4 | Top | 55-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: AUBURN (10* GAME OF WEEK). LSU has a big target on its back with a 12-0 record. The Tigers are off a relatively simple 95-60 win over Lipscomb last time out. The Tigers average 79.6 PPG, while allowing only 54.1. Auburn is 11-1. It's 6-0 at home. It averages 81.1 PPG, while conceding 64.9. Three players average double figures for LSU. Three players average double figures for the home side as well. LSU has been fantastic, but it faces its toughest test of the year at Auburn. I say that home court advantage is the difference-maker! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Iowa State v. Clemson -2 | Top | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (10* MONEY-MAKER). Clemson is going for its sixth straight win today. The Tigers are coming off a 30-0 win over South Carolina, whil the Cyclones enter off a 48-14 win over TCU. The Tigers won seven of their last eight games after a slow start to the year. The Tigers average 26.8 PPG, while allowing 16.1. DJ Uiagalelei has 2,059 passing yards, nine TD's and nine INT's. Iowa State averages 34.4 PPG, while allowing 21.5. QB Brock Purdy has 2,984 passing yards, 18 TD's and seven INT's. RB Breece Hall has 1,472 ruishing yards and 20 TD's, along with 953 receiving yards and five TD's. The only problem for Iowa State here though is that Hall has already left for the NFL draft. That's a HUGE problem for Iowa State facing this elite level Tigers' defense. That's the difference-maker today for me guys. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-28-21 | Northwestern State +38 v. Baylor | 68-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northwestern State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Baylor is going to run up this score in the first half. Then, it'll take the foot off the proverbial gas pedal in the second. The Demons are 3-10 and the Bears are 11-0. Northwestern State is off an 80-61 loss to Texas A@M. I predict a similar final combined score here as well, as we can expect the Bears to use their bench in the second half as they then look ahead to league play starting, starting off with a tough road game at Iowa State on January 1st. This is just WAY too many points to be giving up to a Northwestern State side that averages nearly 70 PPG. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-28-21 | Bucks v. Magic +13 | Top | 127-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10*). The Magic aren't likely to win this one outright. Milwaukee is a huge favorite here. It finished the first half with 3 straight W's before X-Mas. That included a 117-113 victory at home over Boston in its most recent. This is an interesting stretch though for the Bucks, who play again here two nights from now, followed by games against New Orleans, the Pistons and the Raptors. All of those teams are horrible. I think the Bucks come out flat here after the X-Mas break and that's going to be the opportunity that we can take advantage of here. The Magic play with revenge after a 123-92 loss to the Bucks as 13.5-point dogs on November 22nd, and they're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after a SU/ATS loss in which they were held to 95 points or less in. Look for Orlando to make this one "interesting!" T.M. Prediction: 110-105 Milwaukee. | |||||||
12-28-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs puckline (10* GAME OF WEEK). Are the Lightning the better team in this matchup? They are for sure. Will the Montreal Canadiens roll over? They certainly won't. It's a rematch of last year's Finals and I think this game will be decided late, or even in extra time. Tampa won its final three games before the break, but with a contest at rival Florida up next on Thursday, this sets up as a classic "look-ahead" spot. Montreal on the other hand broke a 7-game slide before Christmas by beating Philadelphia 3-2 in a shootout. The Habs won't be in the playoffs, but they'll be out to make adjustments in the 2nd half of the season. Expect that to happen tonight. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. | |||||||
12-27-21 | Dolphins -2.5 v. Saints | 20-3 | Win | 100 | 37 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins. I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Monday. The Dolphins are 1 of the hottest teams in the league by far. They started their year 1-7 but they have won 6 games in a row to get back to an even record and put themselves in the conversation for the playoffs. I like them to continue their hot streak here and win another game knowing that their last 2 games of the year are against some very tough opposing teams like the Titans and the Patriots so I think the Dolphins will want to take advantage and win this game here. Their offense has looked good in their games lately putting up 20+ points in 5 games in a row and they even put up 30+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Their offense has been good but their defense has been the real stars for them. In their last 6 games in a row, they haven't given up more than 10 points in 4 of those games and their defense has been really stout in those games. The Saints have won 2 games in a row and they just had a big win against the Buccaneers in their most recent game where they shut out Tom Brady and his offense with a 9-0 win. I think that was the game that the Saints players were really preparing for and I expect them to have a bit of a let down game here after that great performance. The Saints still have a bad QB situation going on and I think that the Dolphins are just a better team at the moment with the current active players. The Dolphins have been riding this momentum all year since they started their win streak and I think it is going to continue into this game. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-10 Dolphins. | |||||||
12-27-21 | Rockets v. Hornets -6.5 | 99-123 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Charlotte Hornets. I like the Charlotte Hornets to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Monday. The Hornets had lost 3 games in a row but they looked a lot better in their most recent game which they won on the road over the Nuggets. They just played 6 games in a row on the road and this will be their 1st game back at home from that road trip. The Hornets have been a much better team on the road than at home this year with an 8-4 record there. Most of the players have returned to the Hornets too so they should have a pretty healthy team for this game. The Rockets have lost 3 games in a row and they only have 1 win in their previous 6 games. They were on a big win streak over a week ago but their luck has run out and they have hit another slump again. The Rockets have the worst record in the West and are 1 of the worst teams in the league. They have also been terrible on the road this year where they are 3-16 in those games. They have already played 4 games in a row on the road and this is their last game of the road trip that they are on. I think the Rockets are just trying to make it home at this point and I expect them to come out flat here with this being the final game of a long road trip for them. The Hornets play much better at home and with a lot of their players back in the lineup for this game, I think they are going to be tough to stop on their home court. I think the Hornets are a much better team but they are also playing like it lately. I like the Hornets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 124-107 Hornets. | |||||||
12-27-21 | Brown v. Syracuse UNDER 143.5 | 62-93 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brown/Syracuse UNDER. I am on the under in the Brown vs Syracuse game on Monday. Brown is not a very high scoring team this year, they have scored 75+ points in 2 of their previous 9 games. Most of those games though they are barely putting up 70+ points and sometimes they aren't even getting over 60 points. Their defense has looked decent in their games too. They have not let an opposing team score more than 70 points on them in 7 games in a row. Brown does not have a very good shot at winning this game and I think they know that so I'm expecting them to play good defense here to try and stop Syracuse from pulling away in this game. Syracuse hasn't been a high scoring team this year either and they don't really have games in the 80's and 90's for points often. They haven't put up more than 75 points in 3 games in a row now. They have also given up less than 70 points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Syracuse has played some tougher teams this year already, they have had games where they give up a ton of points but they are playing a team that they are a lot better than so I don't see that happening here. Syracuse is going to control this game and I don't think they are going to have to score a lot to win this game. This should not be a game that get's into the 80's or higher for points, there will probably even be only 1 team that reaches 70 points if any do at all. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 67-54 Syracuse. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Nuggets -4 v. Clippers | 103-100 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the LA Clippers in this game on Sunday. The Nuggets have lost 2 games in a row and they haven't looked great in those games either but I think this is a great spot for them to break that bad run and get a must needed win here. The Nuggets have a losing record this year while the Clippers have a record 2 games in the positive but the Clippers aren't going to be at full strength for this game and I think that the Nuggets can take advantage of that. Nikola Jokic is going to play and he is the backbone of their team, leading them to victory by himself on some nights. The Nuggets are also getting a few other starters back for this game so their lineup should have an extra boost in it here. The Clippers haven't looked that great in their games lately either. They won their most recent game but they had lost 3 games in a row right before that win. They beat the Kings by 16 in their most recent game but that win came at a very high cost. Paul George was injured in that game and he won't be back until January and without him in the lineup here, I don't think the Clippers have enough firepower to win this game. George out of the lineup is going to be a huge blow to them and they were already not playing their best coming into this game. I think the Nuggets can take advantage of them here so I like the Nuggets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 107-96 Nuggets. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Washington Football Team v. Cowboys OVER 46 | 14-56 | Win | 100 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: WFT/Cowboys OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Football Team vs Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday. WFT looked good at the beginning of their previous game but they could not maintain their lead and ended up losing that game. They didn't look terrible though and they were playing with a backup QB in that game. They are expected to have their starter Taylor Heinicke back for this game and I think that is going to help out their offense a lot here. They just played the Cowboys 2 weeks ago at home and they lost that game 27-20. They were even losing by a lot in that game and they started to come back late in the game and put some points up. I think it is going to be a lot harder for these defenses to stop each offense after playing them just 2 weeks ago and I think this game is going to have a lot more offense in it. The Cowboys have put up 20+ points in their previous 4 games but I think they are going to put up even more points here after seeing the WFT defensive game plan not that long ago. It's always tougher to beat a team again for the 2nd time in a season so I expect this to be a more competitive game where WFT stays in it from the start and puts up some more points than they did last time. I think this is going to be a game where both offenses exploit the holes they saw in the opposing team's defense in their last meeting. I think there will be a lot of scoring here by both teams so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-24 Cowboys. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Broncos v. Raiders | 13-17 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Broncos have been a very up and down team this year with their wins and losses. They lost their most recent game against the Bengals 15-10 but Teddy Bridgewater was injured in that game so they had to scramble together a game plan for their backup QB the rest of that game. Now they have some time to prepare Drew Lock for this game and he has had some experience in the NFL as a starter, especially against these Raiders. He played the Raiders 2 times last year and lost both games but I think this is his chance for redemption. They lost their 1st game against the Raiders badly last year but their 2nd game against them at home was still a loss but Lock played much better putting up 31 points in that game including a 90+ yard pass to Jerry Jeudy. Lock is not terrible as a starting QB, he is 8-10 in his career which isn't great but it's also a lot better than a lot of the other backup QB's records in this league. He is really 8-9 too because 1 of those losses he is credited with was a game he started but left the 1st quarter injured when it was still 0-0. The Broncos still have a lot of good pieces at RB and WR and they also have a great defense that will be able to support Lock here. I think with the pieces in place, Lock has a very good chance at succeeding in this game and finally getting that win against the Raiders he's been looking for. The Raiders have also been very up and down this year and they are the type of team where you never really know which team is going to show up for them in each game. They have had to battle a lot of challenges and distractions off the field between coaches and players and that has really put a dent in their year. The Raiders will also be missing a few of their key players on the offense here and I think that the Broncos will be able to stop them with their defense. Both teams are going to be desperate here as their playoff hopes are on the line but the Broncos will not only just be playing desperate for the win, their QB will be desperate to play well and show he can be a starter in this league. I think the players on the Broncos have a lot of different reasons to be motivated to win this game and i like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Broncos. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Lions +7 v. Falcons | Top | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons in this game on Sunday. The Lions have been having a very rough season this year being the only winless team through 10 games but now they have 2 wins under their belt and they have looked a lot better in their games lately than at the beginning of the year. The Lions have started to pick up some steam lately with their 2 wins on the year coming in their previous 3 games. Their most recent game was a big win against the Cardinals 30-12 and they looked really good in that game. I think that the Lions can continue that play into this game and they have been bringing the same heart and passion into every game this year already so this team has the fire inside them to win a bunch of games and end their year on a good note. The Falcons are not a good team and they haven't been having a great year either. The Falcons have actually lost 2 of their previous 3 games including their most recent game where they were slaughtered by the 49ers 31-13. The Falcons have lost a few players throughout the year and they know that their playoff hopes have been shot already. The Falcons are just trying to limp to the finish line in these last 3 games but the Lions are the complete opposite. After that terrible start, the Lions are finally looking like a competitive team and I think that their players and their coaches want to win out their year so they have some good building blocks to build on come next year. The Lions have been heating up lately and they have the momentum on their side here. I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 Lions. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Bucs -9.5 v. Panthers | 32-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Carolina Panthers in this game on Sunday. The Buccaneers had won 4 games in a row and they were really starting to heat up until they hit a bump in the road last week with a very bad 9-0 loss to the Saints. That was the 1st time in many years that Tom Brady was completely shut out in a game and he was visibly upset about it on the sideline as he smashed 1 of their tablets that he was using. Brady has a competitive fire in him that is still burning strong at his age and this is not the type of loss that he is just going to forget about and move on to the next game. That was a loss that is going to linger with him until he proves he is not that guy and I think he is going to have a big game here just to make up for the way they played in that last game. Their offense had scored 30+ points in 4 games in a row before getting shut out by the Saints. The Panthers have not been having a great year and they have lost 4 games in a row now. They started the year 3-0 but they have slipped to last place in their division and their year is pretty much over now. They have had to deal with injuries to their QB and their star RB McCaffrey and the hill has become too steep to climb for them. The Buccaneers are looking to wrap this division up and they can do that with a win here. I think because they scored 0 points in their previous game that Brady is going to overcompensate now and put up a ton of points here. The Panthers have been struggling to win games with Cam Newton and their current QB situation and I expect that to continue here. I like the Buccaneers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-13 Buccaneers. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Ravens v. Bengals -7 | 21-41 | Win | 100 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Baltimore Ravens in this game on Sunday. This is a very important game to both of these teams because of the playoff implications of this game. These 2 teams are tied for 1st place in their division with the same record so not only will the winner of this game have an advantage with 2 games left to go after, but it could also mean a lot to the whoever wins if these teams end up finishing with the same overall record. The Bengals already beat the Ravens earlier this year so if they win again then they will for sure have the tiebreaker over the Ravens on the chance that there is a tie for 1st at the end. They didn't just beat the Ravens that 1st time though, they destroyed the Ravens on their own home field 41-17 and that was with Lamar Jackson playing. Now Jackson is out for this game with an injury and his team will be on the road in this game. The Bengals haven't looked great in their games lately but their team is pretty healthy for this game and that should play a big part in their win here. Their offense still has their star QB, RB, and WR out there so their ceiling is a lot higher with that potential to have a big game at any moment compared to the Ravens who will be missing their leader and most dynamic player out on the field. The Ravens have lost 3 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible with all of those losses within 2 points. They have lost a few of those games on last minute tying TDs that they have scored but then failed the 2-pt conversion to win the game. The decision making by Harbaugh in these situations have been terrible though and it is going to come back to bite them and if he keeps being this reckless. The Bengals are at home with a much healthier team and they know they can take advantage of the Ravens here and put themselves in a great position to win the division. I think this is a game that all of the Bengals players will get up for. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Bengals. | |||||||
12-25-21 | Nets v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 122-115 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Saturday. The Lakers haven't looked great in their games lately losing 4 games in a row. They will be missing a few players here because of injury and covid but they will still have LeBron James playing in this game and I expect him to carry his team here and lift them to a much needed win to end their bad run of losing that they have been on. Luckily, the Nets are going to missing quite a few starters in this game for the same reasons including Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, and a bunch of their other support and bench players. I think that they are going to miss these players a lot in this game and they are not going to play as well in this game. James Harden will still be in this game but I don't think he is enough to carry the Nets here, he was already left alone in a game a little over a week ago against the Rockets and they lost that game with him in but Durant out. I think Durant is the heart of the Nets and without him in the lineup they are not going to be able to win this game. LeBron is getting up there in age but he is used to putting his team on his back and has done it many times throughout his career. I think with this being the Christmas Day game against a weakened Nets team and the Lakers in dire need of a win, LeBron should be putting the tam on his back here and I think with the current players in place, the Lakers are going to win this game. I like the Lakers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-104 Lakers. | |||||||
12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers -7 | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Saturday. The Packers have looked great all year and they have been gaining steam in their games lately. They just keep winning games and they now possess the number 1 seed in the NFC with the best record. Their offense has looked great and has been putting up 30+ points in 4 games in a row. Their previous game was a win by 1 point over the Ravens but they had won 2 games in a row before that one by 10+ points. The Browns have been dealing with some covid issues lately and they barely had a team to put out against the Raiders last week. They should be getting some starters back here including their QB but Mayfield has been dealing with some other injuries too and he is not even 100% for this game. Their offense has looked really bad lately even with Mayfield playing in the game, they have only scored 20+ points in 1 of their previous 5 games. I think that the Packers have been playing much better lately and Aaron Rodgers is having another great year and is in the conversation for MVP. Rodgers is playing great and I think he will be able to lead his offense well here and pull away against the Browns who have been struggling to win games for weeks now. I think it is going to be tough for the Browns to stop Rodgers here so I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Packers. | |||||||
12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers OVER 46.5 | 22-24 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Browns/Packers OVER. I am on the over in the Cleveland Browns vs Green Bay Packers game on Saturday. The Browns have not looked great in their games lately dealing with a lot of injuries to their players and some covid issues running through the team too. They should be getting their QB Baker Mayfield back for this game and I expect that to help out their offense quite a bit in this game. I think that the Browns will be able to move the ball better with Mayfield leading the charge and I expect him to put up some points for his team here with their playoff hopes on the line here. Luckily, the Packers have not looked good on defense lately and they have been giving up a lot of points. The Packers have given up 28+ points in 4 games in a row now and it has been forcing their offense to put up even more points just to keep their lead and win games. The Packers haven't been great on defense lately but their offense hasn't skipped a beat in their games and has put up 30+ points in their previous 4 games. I think the Browns are going to be able to score on this defense that hasn't been playing well lately and I think that Rodgers is going to be forced to put up more points to pull away in this game and make up for the holes on their defense. I think this game is going to have a lot of scoring in it so I like this game to go over. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Packers. | |||||||
12-25-21 | Hawks v. Knicks UNDER 207.5 | 87-101 | Win | 100 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Knicks UNDER. I am on the under in the Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks game on Saturday. The Hawks haven't been having a great year this year with a losing record and they have been healthy for a lot of their games too. They have not put up 100+ points in their 2 most recent games and there has been 1 team that hasn't reached 100+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. The Hawks have already been struggling this year and now they will be hindered even more here with a lot of their starters out for this game due to covid-19. The Hawks will not have a very strong team out on the court today and I expect them not to score as many points because of that. The Knicks have looked better in their games lately and I think they should be able to stop the Hawks with their defense in this game. The Knicks are also missing a few players for this game too. They will not be missing as many players as the Hawks are though and the Knicks still have a few of their starters healthy for this game. I think that the Knicks will be able to control the pace in this game and I expect them to pull away on a much weaker team here in the current situation and blow the Hawks out without letting them score a lot. The Knicks have not been that great at shooting in a lot of their games though and if they start missing their 3's a lot which they have been then they are not going to score a lot either. I don't think the Knicks are going to need to score a ton here to win this game so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 99-87 Knicks. | |||||||
12-23-21 | 49ers v. Titans +3 | 17-20 | Win | 101 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee Titans. I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers in this game on Thursday. The Titans looked a lot better in their previous 2 games with a shut out win over the Jaguars and then a great 1st half performance in their most recent game against the Steelers but they completely collapsed in the 2nd half of that game and ended up losing it. The Titans should be getting much healthier for this game though and I think that is going to play a big part here. Both Julio Jones and AJ Brown are expected to play in this game so that will give a much needed boost to their offense as Tannehill with have some very talented players to throw the ball to. I think that having both of them back is going to be a big factor in this game and make it much tougher for the 49ers defense to stop them. The 49ers have also started to pick up some steam in their games lately but I think that the defense of the Titans will be able to lay the hammer down on this 49ers offense and come up with some big stops. Neither of these teams really have a good running game at the moment so I expect there to be a lot of passing in this game. I think this is going to come down to the defense here and I think the Titans are playing much better at the moment and will be able to slow down the 49ers offense. I like the Titans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 26-23 Titans. | |||||||
12-23-21 | Pelicans -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Thursday. The Pelicans have looked good in their games lately winning 3 in a row. The Pelicans are still 1 of the worst teams in the league but they have 4 more wins than the Magic have and the Pelicans have started to gain some steam in their previous games. They have been playing a lot better lately and they have won a majority of their games this year in their L10. They just beat the Trail Blazers in their most recent game by 14 points and that was on a night that Lillard was 1 point short of 40 in that game. The Magic have looked terrible this year and they have been having an even worse year than the Pelicans have. The Magic have won 2 games in a row but their wins were not that impressive. They beat a Hawks team that was missing Trae Young in their most recent game and in the 1 before that they beat a Nets team that was missing both Durant and Harden. They had lost 7 games in a row before winning those 2. The Pelicans have been having a bad year too so they will not be looking at the Magic like a good opportunity to rest some of their stars, they will be looking at it like a great opportunity to win another game. I expect the Pelicans to come out and play well in this game. The Pelicans are also a lot healthier than the Magic are since the Magic have a bunch of players on the covid list. I think that even if they get some of their players back, there is no team that they can put together to play well enough to keep this game close. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-92 Pelicans. | |||||||
12-23-21 | Central Florida +6.5 v. Florida | 29-17 | Win | 100 | 150 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Central Florida. I like Central Florida to cover the spread against Florida in this game on Thursday. UCF looked really good near the end of their year winning 5 of their final 6 games. Gus Malzahn did a good job getting them moving in the right direction this year and for the 1st time in a while, UCF actually has a pretty good defense that isn't getting gashed for points all the time. They have given up less than 20 points in 5 of their previous 6 games and their offense has still looked good during that time too. They have scored 28+ in more than half of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year. Florida barely made it into this game with a 6-6 record this year and they had to win their final game of the year just to become eligible for a bowl game, and they won that game just by 3 points at home over their rival Florida State. Their coach Dan Mullen has already left the school for another next year and they will just be trying to get by this game and get to next year when Billy Napier takes over the program. I don't think that the Florida players really have any motivation to play hard in this game after a season that was a lot lower than the bar they had set for themselves this year. I think the UCF players will be motivated to try to get a win here and cap off the 1st year of progress that new coach Malzahn has put together in this program. Emory Jones has also entered the transfer portal along with a few other players so Florida will not even be playing this game with all of their top players. I like UCF to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-27 Central Florida. | |||||||
12-22-21 | Virginia Tech v. Duke -9 | 65-76 | Win | 100 | 17 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread against Virginia Tech in this game on Wednesday. Duke has looked really good in their games lately ever since suffering their only loss of the year to Ohio State at the end of November. They have played 3 games since then winning all 3 in a row and all of those wins were by 20+ points. Duke has played 3 games against ranked teams this year and all of those games were within 10 points but every other game they have played against unranked teams, they have won by 10+ points. They have been scoring 85+ points in their previous 3 games and their defense has also looked good not giving up more than 67 points in any of those games. With this being coach K's last year there I expect Duke to come and play hard in every game trying to give him 1 last great year to cap off his tenure there. Duke was ranked 1st in the country briefly after taking down 1st place Gonzaga but then lost to Ohio State in their next game and lost that spot. I expect them to keep playing all year like they want to blow every team out and get back to that 1st place rank. Virginia Tech has looked alright this year but they have had a much weaker schedule than Duke has and they have been very up and down lately. They just beat St. Bonaventure in their most recent game by 30+ points and that is their 2nd win by 30+ points in their previous 4 games but they also have a loss at home by 19 to Wake Forest and a road loss by 5 to Dayton during that time too. Duke is ranked 2nd in the country at the moment and with this being the start of their conference play this year, I expect them to hold nothing back in this game. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-66 Duke. | |||||||
12-21-21 | Georgia State v. Georgia Tech -5 | Top | 62-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Tech. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread against Georgia State in this game on Tuesday. Georgia Tech had a great start to their year with a 5-1 record in their 1st 6 games but they have fallen into a slump lately losing 4 games in a row. I think this is a great game for them to bounce back, they are getting a team at home that they are much better than and this is a state rivalry game so i expect the Georgia Tech players to get up for this game. Georgia Tech has lost 4 games in a row but they have had a very tough schedule during that time facing 3 ranked teams and 1 team that wasn't ranked but is very good at 6-2 this year. Before that losing skid, they had won all but 1 of their wins by 9+ points and looked really good playing on their home court. Georgia State has not looked that great in their games lately, they have had alternating wins and losses over their previous 4 games and they only have those 2 wins in their previous 5 games. They have played a much weaker schedule than Georgia Tech has too so their wins haven't even been that impressive. They have really struggled in their games against better teams though, including some 10+ point losses against teams like Mississippi State, Rhode Island, and Richmond. I think Georgia Tech is a much better team than Georgia State is and I think Tech is going to be very happy in this game with a nice chance to end their losing skid. I expect them to play well in this game and pull away in it early sustaining their lead the whole game. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-56 Georgia Tech. | |||||||
12-21-21 | Blazers -2 v. Pelicans | 97-111 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers looked a lot better in their most recent game against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have been really hot lately and the Trail Blazers went into that building winning by 5 points in their previous game. I think they are going to carry that momentum over into this game and continue to play well winning this game too. Lillard had a great game in their previous one but he didn't have to do it himself in that game and got some help from the players around him. I am expecting another great team effort from them here and I like them to keep playing at a high level led by Lillard. The Pelicans have won 2 games in a row and they have won 3 of their previous 4 games but I think that they have been overachieving in these games and I expect them to come back down to Earth soon since they aren't that good of a team and are still missing Zion in their lineup who looks like he won't be back at all this year. I think the fatigue is going to start eating away at Brandon Ingram and I don't think Valanciunas is good enough to carry the team himself. I think it is only a matter of time before these Pelicans start to break down and I like what i saw from Lillard and the Trail Blazers in their most recent game. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 112-104 Trail Blazers. | |||||||
12-21-21 | Seahawks +6.5 v. Rams | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Seahawks. I like the Seattle Seahawks to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Tuesday. The Seahawks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have won 2 games in a row now. Russell Wilson has looked a lot better in their games too ever since suffering that finger injury. They have put 30+ points in their 2 most recent games and their defense has even looked a lot better in those games, they haven't given up 20+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. The Seahawks have been having a rough year with a losing record and they really don't have a great chance at making the playoffs but they do have a good chance to put a damper on the Rams' hopes of winning the division with a win in this game. A Rams loss pretty much clinches the division for the Cardinals and I don't think the Seahawks are going to just roll over here knowing they still have an impact on the season here. The Rams have also looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 in a row but 1 of those wins was against the Jaguars which is not impressive at all and the other was against the Cardinals in their most recent game and that was a game that they really played hard in so I'm expecting them to have a let down spot here after playing that tough game on Monday night. Russell Wilson seems to be almost fully back to his old self and as long as he is in the game he gives the Seahawks a chance to win any game as he is a great playmaker. I think he can keep his team hanging around in this game. I like the Seahawks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Rams. | |||||||
12-21-21 | Wyoming -3 v. Kent State | 52-38 | Win | 100 | 98 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming. I like Wyoming to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Tuesday. Wyoming has not looked good in their games lately near the end of the year but this team is happy to be in a bowl game at all after the way their year started to go sideways on them and I think that they are going to get up for this game and try to bring home the win. Wyoming has been very up and down this year but they have shown some flashes on offense putting up 30+ points in a lot of their games, but then they have also not looked good in some games and have stayed under 20 points in those games. I think this is 1 of those games that they can score 30+ points in because Kent State has a terrible defense and they gave up 40+ points in their conference championship game, their most important game all year and their defense still looked terrible. I don't think the Kent State players are going to get up for this game since this is not the bowl game they wanted to play in. They had their sights set on getting their revenge over Northern Illinois in the title game and winning the MAC title but they didn't get to do any of that as they lost to Northern Illinois for the 2nd time this year losing 41-23 in the title game. Kent State has given up 40+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year in their games. Their defense is really bad and I think Wyoming is going to be able to score on them with ease. I am also expecting Kent State to come out and play this game with no heart so I see Wyoming pulling away in a lopsided game here. I like Wyoming to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Wyoming. | |||||||
12-20-21 | Vikings v. Bears +6.5 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears. I like the Chicago Bears to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Monday night. The Bears have lost 2 games in a row but their offense has taken a big step with Justin Fields at QB in those games. They have been moving the ball well putting up 22 and then 30 points and I think that he is going to continue to improve here and play another good game. They will be at home here and I think that environment is going to help Fields feel more comfortable and play better while also hurting the Vikings since they are just 2-5 on the road this year. The Vikings haven't really been blowing teams out this year either and they are the team in the NFL who has had the most 1 score games and the most games decided in the last minute of play or on the last drive of the game. They won their most recent game on Prime Time by 8 points over the Steelers but they had a 29-0 lead in that game and managed to blow it since the Steelers had a chance to tie the game with no time left on the clock but the ball was dropped in the end zone or that would just be another close game for them that they could have lost. Kirk Cousins has also been terribly bad in his career on Monday nights and he is just 1-9 in Monday games for his career. I think the Vikings are going to once again play down to their competition here and I like the progress that I have seen in the past weeks from Fields and the Bears offense. This could be a sneaky upset game so I like the Bears to keep this close and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Bears. | |||||||
12-20-21 | Oral Roberts -3 v. South Dakota | 82-73 | Win | 100 | 15 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oral Roberts. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread against South Dakota in this game on Monday. This is the 1st game of their conference play for both teams here and I am expecting Oral Roberts to get off on the right foot with a big conference win here. They have looked good in their games lately with a 60+% winning percentage over their past 3 and 5 games. Oral Roberts has 6 wins this year and their lowest margin of victory was by 7 points, when they are going to win the game they usually win it comfortably. They have looked good in their games on defense lately and that has helped them win some of their games. They haven't given up 70+ points in their previous 3 games and they came out of those with 2 wins. South Dakota haven't looked terrible in their games and they have won 2 games in a row now. They have looked as good as Oral Roberts has on defense though and I think that is going to be a major factor in this game. I think Oral Roberts is the better team here and I think they are going to play some good defense to get some stops and pull away with their lead in this game. They are playing their 1st conference game here on the road so defense will be key in this tough environment for them to win this game and I expect that to be a big part of their game plan. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-62 Oral Roberts. | |||||||
12-20-21 | Raiders v. Browns -2 | 16-14 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns. I like the Cleveland Browns to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Monday. Both of these teams have covid running through them lately and a lot of star players from both sides are going to miss this game. The Browns will have QB Nick Mullens starting here but he has had some success with the 49ers as a backup in recent years so I think that he will not be terrible in this game and keep them in it with a chance to win it. They will still have Nick Chubb playing and I think that they are going to lean heavily on him to carry the load in this game. The Raiders are not healthy either, Carr is playing in this game but he will be missing 1 of their best weapons in Darren Waller and their running game is not that strong to lean on either. They also have a lot of key defensive players on their covid list and their defense has already looked bad in quite a few games this year with those players playing. I think this is going to be a more boring game since a lot of the star players are out and I think the Browns are going to play well with Mullens at QB and I think their running game is going to win this game for them at home here. With this game being rescheduled to Tuesday there is a chance that some of the starters are back for both teams but either way I think the browns are better and getting their starters back will only strengthen my decision to back them here. I like the Browns to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Browns. | |||||||
12-20-21 | Tulsa v. Old Dominion UNDER 53.5 | 30-17 | Win | 100 | 73 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Old Dominion/Tulsa UNDER. I am on the under in the Old Dominion vs Tulsa game on Monday. Old Dominion won their previous game 56-34 but that was mainly because of the terrible defense from Charlotte in that game. Old Dominion doesn't have a very strong offense and they have scored less than 30 points in most of their games this year. Their defense has looked lately, they have kept 2 of their last 3 opposing teams under 20 points scored and I think their defense is going to play well here to try and win them a bowl game which Old Dominion does not go to often. I think their offense is going to struggle in this game though since Tulsa is a better team than they are and their defense has looked good in their games lately. They have kept their opposing team to under 14 points in 2 of their previous 3 games and they also played Cincinnati this year who ended up in the playoffs ranked 4th in the country and only let them score 28 points on them. Tulsa doesn't have a great offense though and they have struggled in some of their games against really bad teams. they could only put up 20 points on Tulane and 17 points on Navy this year and those teams both finished with losing records and didn't look good in a lot of their games. I think both of these teams are going to try and win this game with their defense which is the stronger unit for both of these teams. I am expecting a boring a low scoring game here and i think both teams will struggle to move the ball and get out of bad field positions. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-17 Tulsa. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Saints v. Bucs OVER 45 | 9-0 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Saints/Buccaneers OVER. I am on the over in the New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on Sunday night. The Saints finally ended their 5 game losing skid after a win in their previous game where they put up 30 points in that game. They didn't look great in that game but their offense did look a bit better as the game went on. The Saints have shown that they have been able to move the ball and score some points without Winston at QB and I think that they are going to put up some points here with this being a division game. I think the Buccaneers are going to come for their revenge in this game though and I am expecting them to score a lot here and run away with this game. The Bucs have looked really good on offense in their games lately and they have put up 30+ points in 4 games in a row now. Tom Brady has been playing at a very high level in those games and he looks like he is 25 again out on the field with some of the plays he has been making. Their whole offense has been moving great though, their passing game has been great led by Brady but their running game is just as strong led by Fournette. I think this is a game that the Bucs have been waiting to get their revenge in and I expect them to put up a ton of points here. This total is on the lower end in the 40s and I think that the Bucs can almost get there themselves. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-14 Buccaneers. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Mavs +3.5 v. Wolves | 105-111 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Sunday. The Mavericks have looked a lot better in their games lately and have looked like they're starting to find their stride without Doncic in the lineup. They had won 2 games in a row before losing to the Lakers in their most recent game by 3 points in OT. I think they are going to have a bad taste in their mouths from that close loss and I expect them to bounce back with a win in this game since they haven't looked bad in those games. Jalen Brunson has been picking up the slack on offense in the absence of Doncic and Porzingis gives them a much needed high level of defense that will keep them in their games and help them extend their lead. The Timberwolves have been very up and down this year and have now won 3 games in a row ahead of this game. Their most recent win was a big win over the Lakers but I don't think their good fortune is going to continue into this game. The Mavericks have been having a disappointing year and I expect them to start going on a big run to get them up into a playoff spot and contending. They had some rocky games without Doncic on the floor but they have started to adjust to playing without him and Brunson has been making up for him on offense. I think the Mavericks are going to start looking a lot better in their games and I think they have a good shot at winning this game. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-111 Mavericks. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Cardinals -12.5 v. Lions | 12-30 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Cardinals just lost in their most recent game on MNF against the Rams, a division rival. They had a chance to clinch their division in that game but they failed as Kyler Murray did not have the best start to that game. I think that the Cardinals are too good to lose 2 games in a row here, especially with that 2nd game being against the 1 win Lions, and I think that they are going to be looking to get back into the win column here and keep moving toward a playoff spot. The Cardinals have 10 wins this year and only 2 of those wins were by less than 10 points. They don't just win their games but they destroy teams in the process and I think they are going to do the same to the Lions here. The Lions have been having a really bad year with just 1 win. They won their 1st game of the season just a few weeks ago but then they lost their very next game by 28 points in Denver. The Lions don't lose all of their games like this and they have played in some really close games that they have lost this year but I think this is going to be another 1 of those games that they get destroyed in. The Cardinals have not just looked good on offense this year but they have looked really good on defense too. I don't think the Lions will be able to move the ball well with the limited options they have over there. The Cardinals have also shown their depth this year with a few wins under backup QB Colt McCoy. I think the Cardinals are too good a team to have this stay a close game. I like the Cardinals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-14 Cardinals. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Jets v. Dolphins UNDER 41 | 24-31 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dolphins/Jets UNDER. I am on the under in the Miami Dolphins vs New York Jets game on Sunday. The Dolphins have looked really good lately winning 5 games in a row but they have winning their games with their great defense. The Dolphins have kept their opposing team to less than 10 points in 4 of their previous 5 games. Their offense has not looked amazing though and they have only been averaging a bit over 20+ points per game during that time. I think that their defense is going to play a big part in them winning this game. The Jets have looked terrible on offense all year and I think that the Dolphins defense are going to shut them down here. They just met a few weeks ago and the Dolphins won in New York 24-17 but I expect the Jets to score even less here with this game being in Miami. The Jets have looked bad on offense and have scored 20+ points in just 1 of their previous 5 games. Zach Wilson has also looked really bad in those games and he is not even improving in their games each week. They sat Wilson for Flacco in their last meeting because the Dolphins defense has been playing so well and they needed a veteran QB in there who could avoid their pass rush. Well now because of the covid situation, Wilson has no choice but to play here and if he wasn't ready for them 3 weeks ago, then he isn't going to be any more ready for them in this game. I think Wilson is going to get lit up by this defense and I am expecting them to barely score any points here. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-10 Dolphins. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Cowboys -10.5 v. Giants | Top | 21-6 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Cowboys have been dealing with their own covid situation lately but they have still been winning games with a weaker team and now they have been getting healthier each week and should have most of their weapons on the offensive side back in this game. They have won their previous 2 games by 7+ points but they were blowing teams out weeks ago when they were playing very well and I expect that to start getting back to that as they start their playoff run while getting a lot of starters back. The Giants have looked terrible on offense in their games lately. They have scored 20+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games but they haven't really done anything great since firing their OC Jason Garrett a few weeks ago. Obviously that was not the issue with this offense and I think they are going to continue to struggle in this game with Mike Glennon as their QB. Glennon has a losing record as a starter in the NFL. I think this is a get right spot for the Cowboys here, they can pretty much wrap up their division with a win here and I expect them to dominate the Giants for 60 minutes here. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. | |||||||
12-18-21 | Oregon State v. Utah State +7.5 | Top | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State. I like Utah State to cover the spread against Oregon State in this game on Saturday. Utah State is getting around 7 points in this game and they finished the year off with a much better record than Oregon State did at 10-3 and they are a conference champion after beating San Diego State in the MWC title game. Other than 1 slip up against Wyoming, Utah State looked really good in their final games of the year and they were winning their games by large margins. They won the conference championship game alone by 30+ points, putting up 46 points on the San Diego State defense that was really good all year long. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and all 5 of those wins were by 20+ points. Utah State has been having a great year on both offense and defense. Oregon State has been very up and down this year though. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but have lost 3 of their previous 5 games and their defense has looked bad in all of those games whether they won or lost. They didn't give up more than 15+ points in their previous 2 wins but they have given up 20+ points in most of their wins this year. They have lost 5 games this year and they have given up 30+ points in all of those games. Oregon State does not have a good defense and I think that is going to be a huge problem here with the way that Utah State has looked on offense. I think Utah State is going to keep scoring in this game and run up the score on Oregon State to the point where they won't be able to come back. I think Utah State is better and has a good chance at winning this game with all of the momentum they have from their conference championship. I like Utah State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Utah State. | |||||||
12-18-21 | UTEP v. Fresno State -11 | 24-31 | Loss | -112 | 25 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Fresno State. I like Fresno State to cover the spread against UTEP in this game on Saturday. Fresno State had a great year and they finished strong with 5 wins in their final 6 games but if it wasn't for a loss to Boise State, they would've been in the MWC title game. Their defense looked really good in their final games, they did not give up 10+ points in their 2 most recent games and they put up 30+ points in both of those games, winning each by 20+ points. I think Fresno State's defense will be able to shut down the UTEP offense here and Fresno has looked so good on offense lately that I am expecting them to pull away more and more as this game goes on. UTEP had a great start to their year and were 6-1 going into the 2nd half of the year but they really slipped up in their games and started to look really bad on the field. After starting the year 6-1, they finished the year 7-5 meaning that they went 1-4 down the final stretch of the year. They played some tough teams like UAB and UTSA who went on to win the conference title, but they also lost games to Florida Atlantic and North Texas which is not a good look on them. UTEP didn't look good on defense either and they were giving up a lot of points in their final games of the season. They gave up 28+ points in their 2 most recent games, 1 of those teams being Rice and their terrible offense. They have also given up 28+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and I think that Fresno State is going to have no troubles moving the ball down the field and scoring points here. UTEP does not have a great offense either and I think that they will struggle to score with the way that Fresno State's defense has looked lately. I like Fresno State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Fresno State. | |||||||
12-17-21 | Villanova v. Creighton +7 | 59-79 | Win | 100 | 15 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Creighton. I like Creighton to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Friday. Creighton has looked good in their games lately and they will be playing this game on their home court to start off their conference play this year. With this being the 1st game of their conference play, I expect Creighton to play hard here and put up a good fight at home against this ranked conference rival. Creighton has lost 2 of their previous 3 games but 1 of those losses was against the 11th ranked Iowa State and the other was against Arizona State but they lost that game by 1 point and they lost the game to Iowa State by 6 points. They have only lost 3 games this year and only 1 of their losses was by 7+ points. Creighton has also been playing well in their home games lately and their 3 most recent wins there were all by 10+ points. Creighton has been playing good defense lately too and they have only given up 70+ points in 1 of their previous 6 games. I think that Creighton can shut down Villanova here with their defense and Villanova is even coming off of a game where they only put up 36 points. I think Villanova is going to struggle with their shooting again in this game and they haven't been all that great when they aren't at home either. They have 3 losses this year and 2 of them came on the road while the other was at a neutral venue. This building is going to be packed with Creighton fans since this is the start of their conference play and I think that it is going to make it a tough time for Villanova to play here and score points on that defense when their shooting has been bad lately. They have shot under 35% in their 2 most recent games now and they were even shooting less than 25% in their most recent game. I think Creighton will put up a good fight in this game and I think they have a chance to even win this game. I like Creighton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 66-62 Creighton. | |||||||
12-17-21 | Warriors -3 v. Celtics | 111-107 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Friday. The Warriors are the best team in the league this year, they are tied for the best record in the league with the Suns but they have looked really good in their games this year and they don't even have 1 of their stars Klay Thompson back from injury yet. The Warriors are only going to get stronger when he returns but Steph Curry has made it his mission in the mean time to keep his team at the top while they wait after missing the playoffs the last year. The Warriors are great on both sides of the ball, they have put up 100+ points in 6 of their previous 7 games and they have held the opposing team to under 100 points in 4 of those games. They have won 4 of their previous 5 games and a majority of them were won by 10+ points, and that has been a common theme for them in their games lately. The Warriors have a lot of skilled bench depth and support role players that are contributing to their offense and defense and they are 1 of the most complete teams in the NBA at the moment. The Celtics have not looked nearly as good as the Warriors have in their games lately and they have even lost 3 of their previous 4 games. They won their most recent game against the Bucks but Tatum had to put up 40+ points himself in that game just to get it done for them and that is not going to happen every night. I think that the Warriors are the better team here but they have also just looked better in their games lately and are playing like it with all of those wins stacking up while the Celtics have looked bad and keep stringing losses together. I think the Celtics are no match for the Warriors here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-101 Warriors. | |||||||
12-17-21 | Toledo v. Middle Tennessee State OVER 49.5 | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 30 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Middle Tennessee/Toledo OVER. I am on the over in the Middle Tennessee vs Toledo game on Thursday. Toledo had a very strong finish to their year winning 3 games in a row and 4/5 to close out the regular season. They also looked really good on offense in those games and put up a ton of points. They put up 30+ points in 5 games in a row. A lot of those games were against very bad teams but even in their most recent game against a team with a winning record this year, their offense still stayed strong in that game putting up 49 points but it was their defense that was terrible and folded up like a cheap tent giving up 52 points. I think that Toledo is going to put up a lot of points in this game and continue their great offensive showing from their final games of the season. I also think that their defense is going to struggle here, especially since Middle Tennessee is not a team with a bad offense. Middle Tennessee didn't really end their year off on a great note but they have had flashes of great offense this year and have put up 30+ points in half of their games. They did score 27 points in their most recent game and also put up 20+ points in 5 of their previous 6 games, scoring 30+ points in half of those. Toledo has already shown this year that their defense is not that good and I am expecting them to give up a lot of points here and make it much easier for Middle Tennessee to move the ball here. I think this game has potential to turn into a shootout with 2 bad defenses and 2 above average offenses that have looked really good at times. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-27 Toledo. | |||||||
12-16-21 | Canucks +127 v. Sharks | 5-2 | Win | 127 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win against the San Jose Sharks in this game on Thursday. The Canucks are very hot at the moment and they have won 5 games in a row. They have looked really good in their games and they haven't lost a game since hiring their new coach. They are playing 1 road game here after a long home stand but then they are going back home after this game, they have won 2 road games in a row. They have 6 wins in their previous 8 games but their defense and goalkeeping has been fantastic in those games and is a big reason as to why they have been winning so many games. They gave up 3 goals in their most recent game but Halak was the starting goalie so Demko will likely be back in net for this game and he has looked great all season, I expect him to play another great game here. The Canucks have a very fast and young team but now that they have the right coach in place they should start to excel and I expect to see more results from them as the season goes on because they will only get better in each game. The Sharks started the year as 1 of the best teams in the league for a few games but they have not looked as good lately and have been a very up and down team. They have 2 losses in their previous 3 games and I think they have another loss coming their way here. Scoring has been an issue for them in those games lately, they haven't scored more than 2 goals in their previous 3 games. That is going to be a problem here since the Canucks are playing very well and their goalie is playing even better. I think the Canucks are going to have another great game here and I think that the Sharks' scoring troubles is going to extend into this game too. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Canucks. | |||||||
12-16-21 | Chiefs v. Chargers OVER 52 | 34-28 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs/Chargers OVER. I am on the over in the Kansas City Chiefs vs LA Chargers game on Thursday. The Chiefs have looked much better in their games lately but their most recent game was the game that Mahomes and his offense finally looked like the old Chiefs offense that was so powerful and would overwhelm defenses. The Chiefs have come a long way after a very bad start to the year and even losing a game to the Chargers at home earlier in the year, it looked like it just wasn't going to be their year and they were in last place in their division at 1 point. Now they are leading the AFC West and have a chance to basically put it away here with a win. I think they still have a bad taste in their mouths from their loss to the Chargers earlier this year and will want to get a big win here to make up for that game. Their offense struggled in that game but now they look a lot better and I expect Mahomes to get out to a quick start and put up a lot of points early to set the tone for this game. The Chargers have also looked a lot better after going through a rough patch and their offense has gone into overdrive lately. They have put up 30+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games but their defense has not looked good at all and has given up 20+ point in all 4 of those games. Justin Herbert looks great in their games lately and he will be pushing their offense to their fullest here to make up for their bad defense and to keep up with the way the Chiefs' offense is playing lately. Even their last meeting was high scoring and ended 30-24 but both offenses have gotten a lot better since then and I think there is going to be even more points here as this game means so much to the winner of this division. I think both offenses are going to take over here and put up a ton of points for both teams. I am on the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-31 Chiefs. | |||||||
12-16-21 | Knicks -6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Thursday. The Knicks have lost 4 games in a row and I think they are going to bounce back big in this game. They haven't been winning games lately but they have looked a lot better on the court ever since taking Kemba Walker out of the rotation. They haven't let an opposing team score 113+ points in 3 games in a row but 2 of those games they did not give up more than 105 points. Thibodeaux has this team moving in the right direction preaching the defense to his players so I expect their defensive efforts to keep getting better and better in every game. The Rockets have looked really bad in most of their games this year, they only have 9 wins and 7 of those wins all came in a row on a big win streak they went on. They have started to look bad in their games again lately and have only won 1 game in their previous 4. The Rockets are also missing a lot of starters in this game and even if Gordon and Wood end up playing, it is not going to be enough to beat the Knicks here when they won't even be at 100%. The Rockets just lost their most recent game to the Cavaliers by 30+ points and they didn't even get to 90 points in that game. I think the Knicks are going to play great defense in this game and ensure that they break out of their bad run with a big win against the Rockets who are 1 of the worst teams in the league already and are missing key players here. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 107-92 Knicks. | |||||||
12-16-21 | Alcorn State v. Tulsa -13.5 | 62-83 | Win | 100 | 14 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tulsa. I like Tulsa to cover the spread against Alcorn State in this game on Thursday. Tulsa has been having a rough year and they recently went into a slump but they won their most recent game and busted out of that funk with a nice home win. Tulsa has not been blowing out other teams this year and they have only won 1 game all year by this many points but that game was against Little Rock and they are playing a team here that is a lot worse than Little Rock. Alcorn State is a low scoring team that has been getting blown out by teams on multiple occasions and Tulsa has looked pretty good on defense lately. Tulsa has not given up 66+ points in 3 games in a row and Alcorn State has only put up that many points in 2 different games this year, and they were both their 1st 2 games of the year. Alcorn State has lost 3 games in a row all by 15+ points and all of those losses were against teams from the same conference as Tulsa. Alcorn State has already shown this year a repeated failure to win or even stay in their games against AAC teams and I think they are going to struggle heavily again in this game on the road. Alcorn State is already a low scoring team averaging under 65 ppg this year and I think Tulsa's defense is going to stunt them even more here. I like Tulsa to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-57 Tulsa. | |||||||
12-15-21 | Rangers -1.5 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers -1.5. I like the New York Rangers -1.5 against the Arizona Coyotes in this game on Wednesday. The Rangers have lost 2 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. They have lost 3 of their previous 4 games but 2 of those losses were against the Avalanche who are starting to look really good now and the other was against the Predators which was a close 1-0 loss. They were on a big run before they started to lose those games and I expect them to get back on a run here since they are in the conversation as 1 of the best teams in the league this year. I don't think they could ask for a better game to bounce back in either since they're playing the Coyotes and the Coyotes are the worst team in the league and have the least number of wins. The Coyotes have lost 5 games in a row and all of those losses were by 2+ goals. They also only scored 1 goal in 3 of those 5 losses and really their goalie is the only person on the team who cane even give them a chance at winning. Even if he plays on his head in this game, the Rangers like to score goals and after a few bad games now they get a bottom feeding team in front of them, they are going to score some goals here and get right. I like the Rangers to win this game on the puckline here. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Rangers. | |||||||
12-15-21 | Portland +17.5 v. Oregon | Top | 71-96 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland. I like Portland to cover the spread against Oregon in this game on Wednesday. Portland has looked good in their games this year with an 8-3 start to the year. A lot of their wins this year have been close games but their has been a few that they won by 10+ points too. They have only lost 3 games all year and they did not even look terrible in those losses. Their biggest loss was by 16 points to Arizona State in their 1st game of the year but things translate over fully in that first game and they have gotten a lot better since that loss. They have lost 2 games since then and those were both losses by single digits. Their defense hasn't looked great but their offense is scoring in their games and has been keeping up with whatever team has been in front of them. Oregon was supposed to have a very promising year this year but that has turned into a disaster as they have 5 losses through 10 games already. They started great winning 3/4 games to start the year but they have lost 4/6 in their most recent games and haven't looked good in any of those games but 1. Their 1 impressive win was over Montana by 40 points but their other win was an unimpressive 6 point win over UC Riverside on their own home court and then they had 2 losses by 10+ points and 2 closer losses against other conference teams. Oregon has looked bad all year and they are playing bad in a lot of their games. Oregon is not going to win this game by double digits with the way they have been playing so I like Portland to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 66-62 Oregon. | |||||||
12-15-21 | Hawks v. Magic UNDER 224.5 | 111-99 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Magic UNDER. I am on the under in the Atlanta Hawks vs Orlando Magic game on Wednesday. The Hawks have a few injuries to their starters in this game. Both Hunter and Bogdanovic are going to miss this game and they have already missed a few of their games. The Hawks have lost 4 of their previous 5 games and have not looked that great in their games lately. They are also not very good in their road games and I think they are going to struggle in this game with their missing players. The Magic are also missing quite a few players in this game and that is going to make their lineup a lot weaker than it already usually is. I think that the Magic are not going to be able to keep with their scoring and there is a good chance that the Hawks will pull away in this game. The Magic are not a high scoring team with all of their starters in the lineup and they have stayed under 100 points in most of their games lately. Now they have a weakened starting lineup and I don't think they will be able to do much here to score on the Hawks. I also don't think the Hawks are going to score a lot with their missing players and they probably will have such a big lead that they won't need to score a lot to win this game comfortably. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 107-92 Hawks. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win against the Columbus Blue Jackets in this game on Tuesday. The Canucks have started to get hot lately and have gone on a bit of a run winning 4 games in a row and they only have 1 loss in their previous 7 games. This game is going to conclude a 6 game home stand that they are on but they have looked great in those games. They lost the 1st game of that stand but won 4 in a row after that and their defense and goalkeeping has looked great. During this 4 game run of wins, they have recorded 1 shutout and they have given up more than 1 goal in just 1 of those games. I think that they are going to keep up that great play here and win this game with their defense and a lot of help from Demko. Demko had a very good year for them last year and after a rough start this year, he is starting to look like that great form he was in last year again. The Blue Jackets just edged out an OT win in Seattle in their most recent game but they have looked like a huge mess in their games lately. They have won just 2 of their previous 8 games and the last time these 2 met was in Columbus at the end of November and the Blue Jackets won that game 4-2. Now the tables have turned for this game, the Canucks will be on their home ice and now they are playing great lately while the Blue Jackets have struggled to win games since their last meeting with the Canucks, only picking up 2 wins since then. The Blue Jackets have also looked terrible on defense and have given up 4+ goals in 3 of their previous 4 games. I think this Blue Jackets team is a mess at the moment and the Canucks have been hot lately. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. | |||||||
12-14-21 | Suns v. Blazers UNDER 217.5 | 111-107 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Trail Blazers UNDER. I am on the under in the Phoenix Suns vs Portland Trail Blazers game on Tuesday. The Suns haven't been putting up a lot of points in their games lately. Their offense has really suffered without Booker in the game. They haven't put up 115+ points in any of their games since he went out against the Warriors a few weeks ago. I think their offense is still going to struggle to explode without him in this game since the load will have to be carried by the aging Chris Paul. Their defense has looked good though and that is how they've been winning their games. The Suns have given up 110+ points to their opposing team just 2 times in their previous 8 games. Also, a majority of their previous 6 games and had 1 team stay under 100 points scored in the game. The Trail Blazers looked a bit better in their most recent game with Lillard back on the court for them but they are still missing McCollum and he is a major part of their offense just like Lillard. The Trail Blazers play very well when both of those guys are playing and playing well but usually with only 1 of them in the lineup, the Trail Blazers struggle to score a lot and win games. I think that the Suns are already going to dictate the pace of this game with a more defensive effort and I expect the Trail Blazers to follow suit with the defensive strategy knowing that their offense is not as strong still without McCollum. I don't think Lillard can do enough by himself to drive this score up and I like the way the Suns have been playing defense lately. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 99-94 Suns. | |||||||
12-14-21 | USC Upstate v. Tennessee -34 | 52-96 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee. I like Tennessee to cover the spread against USC Upstate in this game on Tuesday. Tennessee has looked good this year, they only have 2 losses but both of those losses came against ranked teams and both were played at neutral venues. They have won a lot of their games this year by a lot of points, all of their 7 wins have been by 10+ points. They are going to be on their home court for this game and they are a perfect 5-0 there this year with their smallest margin of victory coming by 11 points against Tennessee Tech. Their other 4 wins at home were all by 28+ points. I think that Tennessee has looked really good on offense this year and they can put up a lot of points. They have also looked great on defense and have not given up 58+ points in 4 games in a row. I think that their defense has been great and I'm expecting them to hold USC Upstate to less than 60 points here or even less than 50. USC Upstate has not been having a good year with just 2 wins in their 9 games this year. They have stayed close in a few of their losses this year but their schedule has also been very weak. They just lost by 26 points to Wake Forest in their most recent game and Tennessee is a lot better than Wake Forest is. There has been a common theme all year with Tennessee destroying bad teams on their home court by 30+ points and sometimes even 40+ points. USC Upstate definitely falls under that category and I think they are going to get destroyed in this game. I like Tennessee to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 88-47 Tennessee. | |||||||
12-13-21 | Hornets v. Mavs -3 | 96-120 | Win | 100 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Monday. The Mavericks have been losing a lot of games lately but they looked a lot better in their most recent game with Hardaway and Porzingis back in their lineup. They won against OKC in that game which is not that impressive but they did win by 19 points and they didn't have Doncic playing in that game. Doncic has been ruled out for this game too but with Porzingis there I think he can play a good defensive game and keep the Hornets from scoring a lot of points. I also think having Hardaway back will help out their offense and I expect Jalen Brunson to pick up most of the slack in Doncic's absence here. The Hornets haven't looked that great lately either, they won their most recent game but just by 1 point at home and that is just their 2nd win in their previous 7 games. The Hornets have not been a good team on the road this year either. They do have a losing record in road games this year but they have also lost 3 of their previous 4 on the road. The Hornets aren't quite fully healthy for this game either and are missing a few starters. Ball has been ruled out and I think that is going to disrupt their flow and the way the Hornets move spread the ball around on the court. Mason Plumlee is also out and that is a major presence in the paint missing here. I think with the players playing in this game, the Mavericks have a much better lineup and will be able to put up the points needed to win here and hold off the Hornets from scoring a lot. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-96 Mavericks. | |||||||
12-13-21 | Rams v. Cardinals -129 | Top | 30-23 | Loss | -129 | 80 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals ML. I like the Arizona Cardinals to beat the LA Rams in this game on Monday. The Cardinals have looked really good this year and even though not a lot of people are talking about them, they have the best record in the league. They have lost 2 games this year and have been dealing with injuries to a lot of their stars. They were missing Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins for a number of games but still managed to win with Colt McCoy at QB and a very thin offense. They finally got Murray and Hopkins back last week and they beat the Bears 33-22 but were up by a lot before the Bears started to make a late comeback. They will be playing in this game too and I think they are going to pick up right where they left off. Murray did not even throw the ball a lot in their previous game but they ran all over the Bears. The last time they played the Rams earlier this year they won 37-20 in LA and now they get to be at home for this game. The Rams looked a lot better last week but that win was against the Jaguars who are 1 of the worst teams in the league. Before beating the Jaguars, they lost 3 games in a row to the Packers, 49ers, and Titans. The Cardinals have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, their defense is great and their offense is great and now they have a lot of their players back and healthy for this game. The Rams have been struggling lately and the Cardinals are going to be hungry for a win here because they will clinch the division and their spot in the playoffs with a win on Monday night. The Cardinals have been playing better this year and they just have a better team right now. I like the Cardinals to win this game on the moneyline. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Cardinals. | |||||||
12-13-21 | Rockets v. Hawks UNDER 227 | 132-126 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Hawks UNDER. I am on the under in the Houston Rockets vs Atlanta Hawks game on Monday. The Rockets have lost 2 games in a row after going on a 7 game win streak but this is not a good team this year and they only have 8 wins all year. I think that the Rockets are a bit burnt out from stringing all of those wins together, especially since their last win was over the Nets with Harden returning to town. The Rockets are also bad on the road this year, they just won 7 games in a row but most of them were at home because they only have 1 win in 8 road games this year. They have only put up 110+ points in 3 of their road games this year and I think that they are going to struggle to put up points on the Hawks here. The Hawks are a very good home team and they have lost quite a few games lately so I think they will be looking for an easy bounce back game. The Hawks haven't looked great on offense either in their games lately. They are missing some of their starters in this game and lately they haven't been scoring a lot at home, but they have been playing better defense there. The Hawks have only scored 110+ points in 1 of their previous 4 games and they failed to reach 100 points in 2 of those games. They didn't let the opposing team score 100+ points in 2 of those games at home too. I think this is going to be a game that the Hawks win in a blowout and I don't think that the Rockets are even going to reach 100 points in this game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 112-92 Hawks. | |||||||
12-13-21 | Northern Illinois v. Chicago State +1.5 | 70-59 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago State. I like Chicago State to cover the spread against Northern Illinois in this game on Monday. Chicago State has looked terrible this season but they are getting a team that is just as bad as they are here and they have a chance to get another win here. Chicago State only has 3 wins this year but all 3 of those wins came on their home court where they have a 3-1 record this year. They won 2 of those 3 games by 10+ points too in some pretty convincing wins. They just lost their most recent game at home but they were playing an Illinois State team that is much better but they did hang in there only losing by 9 points and still put up 71 in that game. They gave up 80 points in that game but their defense has looked a lot better against teams that are on par with them or much worse. They have only given up 70+ points in 1 of their wins this year and they held the other 2 teams to less than 60 points in their other 2 wins. Northern Illinois hasn't looked any better this year with just 2 wins in their 8 games. They have only won 1 game on the road all year and it was in their 1st game when teams are still trying to figure out how their team is going to look in a real game on the court. Since then, they have lost 4 games in a row on the road and all of those losses came by 10+ points except for 1. I think that the home advantage is going to play a big part in this game for Chicago State and I'm expecting Northern Illinois to struggle here like they have in most of their road games. I think Chicago State can win this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 66-60 Chicago State. | |||||||
12-12-21 | Bears v. Packers UNDER 43.5 | 30-45 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bears/Packers UNDER. I am on the under in the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers game on Sunday. The Bears have looked really bad in a lot of their games this year and their offense has not been able to do a lot all year. They have put up 17+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games and they are averaging less than 20 points on offense per game for the year. Their defense hasn't looked as bad as their offense has this year and their defense has looked better in their games lately. They have given up 17+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games. The Packers have a good defense this year and they have been playing well in most games. They have looked really good against bad offensive teams like the Seahawks, Washington, and the Steelers early in the year, holding all of those teams to less than 20 points. They even lost to the Chiefs but still held them to just 13 points and beat the red hot Cardinals who have the best record in the league, holding them to 21 points. They also played the Bears in Chicago earlier this year and won that game 24-14 with that game staying under. The Packers should have even more control of the game here being at home. I expect them to take the lead early and use their running game a lot once they are ahead. I also think that their defense is going to play a lot better here and prevent the Bears from scoring a lot. I think the Packers are going to control the pace of this game with their defense and running and slow the game down killing a lot of time on the clock with long drives. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-10 Packers. | |||||||
12-12-21 | Florida v. Maryland +5 | 68-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maryland. I like Maryland to cover the spread against Florida in this game on Sunday. Maryland has lost 3 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible in those games. Their previous 2 losses were by 6 points or less in both games and their biggest loss this year was by 8 points. Even though they have lost 3 games in a row, their defense has looked good in all of those games. They gave up less than 65 points in 2 of those losses and the other game they gave up 67 which was the most of those 3. The most points they have given up in a loss all year would be 71 points to George Mason but they put up 66 themselves and only lost that game by 5 points. I think they are going to continue playing good defense in this game and stay in it with Florida. Florida only has 2 losses in their 9 games this year but those 2 losses were in their previous 3 games. Their most recent loss was really bad though, they lost on their own home court by 15 points to Texas Southern, and that was Texas Southern's 1st win this year and they were 0-7 going into that game. Florida has beaten up on some really bad teams this year but their schedule has not had a lot of quality teams on it. I think that Florida is going to struggle a bit against Maryland and that good defense here. I like Maryland to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 64-61 Florida. | |||||||
12-12-21 | Lions v. Broncos -10 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 52 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Broncos have been a very up and down team this year, they can't seem to beat a lot of the good teams but they can beat up on the really bad ones. They lost to the Eagles and the Chiefs by 10+ points but they also beat the Cowboys and the Chargers by 10+ points all in their previous 4 games. The Broncos have looked good in a lot of their games this year though. They have a great defense and they have a lot of weapons on their offense that could do a lot more damage if they had the right QB. Bridgewater has been getting by though and he is making the plays in their games to help them win. The Lions have looked terrible all year and they just got their 1st win of the year last week only 12 games into the season. They played well for most of that game but lost the lead late and had to fight back on the final drive just to score that winning TD with no time left. I think that game took a lot of energy out of them and I'm expecting a big let down for them after that win. They have to play this game in Denver too where the air is thin and it will be a struggle for a lot of their young and new players that don't have experience playing in Denver. The Broncos lost last week so they are going to hungry to bounce back in this game. I like the Broncos to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 33-13 Broncos. | |||||||
12-12-21 | Saints v. Jets +5.5 | 30-9 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Jets. I like the New York Jets to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Sunday. The Jets are going to be at home here and they have looked a lot better at home this year than on the road with 2 of their 3 wins this year coming at home. The defense has also looked better lately and has only given up 30+ points in 1 of their previous 3 games. Zach Wilson is back starting for them and he didn't look great in his last 2 starts but he has been improving in each game and I think that he will look a lot better here. The Saints have their own issues that they are dealing with. They have a lot of injuries to their defense and to their QB too. Taysom Hill is starting in this game but he is dealing with a finger injury and, from what we've seen from Russell Wilson and his finger injury this year, this is something that could drastically affect the way he throws the ball and completes passes. I think that they are going to struggle to score points and move the ball with Hill and his finger injury. Alvin Kamara is returning from injury and should play in this game but he is also banged up and if he plays he will likely still be heavily involved in the offense. He is really the only threat on their offense right now with their QB situation so if the Jets stop him then the Saints shouldn't be able to do much here. I think Wilson is going to have a much better game here and I expect Hill to have a bad game. I like the Jets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Jets. | |||||||
12-12-21 | Davidson -2.5 v. Northeastern | 79-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Davidson. I like Davidson to cover the spread against Northeastern in this game on Sunday. Davidson has looked really good in their games this year. They have won 5 games in a row in they have been destroying teams in those games. They have 6 wins this year and they have won all 6 games except for 1 by 10+ points, that 1 game being a 9 point win over East Carolina. Their 3 most recent wins were all by 15+ points. I think this team has a really good offense and they have been putting up 70+ points in all of their wins this year. Northeastern has won 3 games in a row but they have not looked as good as Davidson has in those wins. They also played in much closer games and none of those games were won by more than 10 points. They have won 6 games this year and only 2 of those wins were by more than 10 points. They have also lost 4 games and 3 of those losses were by 10+ points, the other was a loss by 8 points against Colgate who Northeastern ended up beating by 5 points when they played them again last week. Northeastern has been very up and down this year, they play in very close games when they win and they usually get destroyed in the games they lose. I think Davidson has been a lot better this year and I am expecting this to be one of those games that Northeastern gets destroyed in. Davidson can score a lot more than Northeastern can too so I think that Davidson is going to bury them early here. I like Davidson to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 76-56 Davidson. | |||||||
12-11-21 | Western Kentucky v. Ole Miss -4.5 | 71-48 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Western Kentucky in this game on Saturday. Ole Miss has looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 3 games in a row and 2 of them were by 10+ points. They have won 6 of their 8 games this year and 5 of those games they won by 10+ points with the other win coming by 4 points against Memphis in their most recent game. I think that Ole Miss is going to continue to roll over teams in this game and I am expecting a big win from them here in this big arena. Western Kentucky has looked up and down in their games this year. They are 5-4 this year but they are winning games big against bad teams and then getting destroyed when they play against teams a lot better than they are. Western Kentucky has 4 losses this year but their 3 most recent losses were all by 10+ points and they were against teams in much stronger conferences than them just like Ole Miss. Western Kentucky has also struggled to put up points in their losses against those better teams. In all of their losses this year, they did not put up 70+ points in any of those games but they did give up 70+ points in all of those games. Ole Miss has also looked great on defense in their games lately. They have gone 5 games in a row without giving up 65+ points to the opposing team. I think Ole Miss is a lot better here and I think they will be able to shut down Western Kentucky with their defense and pull away in this game. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-62 Ole Miss. | |||||||
12-11-21 | Jazz v. Wizards +5.5 | 123-98 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Wizards. I like the Washington Wizards to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Saturday. The Wizards had lost 3 games in a row and they didn't look that great in their games but they broke out of their funk in their most recent game with a road win. Now they will be at home here and they have played much better on their home court with an 8-3 record there. The Wizards have shocked this year as they came out of the gat and took over the East holding down the 1st place spot for a while. They have slipped down the standings a bit but they still look good on the court and I think that they are going to start another run now after breaking out of their mini slump. The Jazz have looked really good lately winning 6 games in a row but I think that the Wizards have a good chance of ending that run here. The Jazz have been putting up a ton of points on teams in their games but I think the Wizards can put a stop to them with their good defense. The Jazz have played 3 games in a row on the road and this game will be closing out a 4 game road trip for them. They have been playing so well for so long during that time and on the road that I think they are going to be a bit tired here and have a let down game. They have put up 125+ points in 4 of their previous 6 games and I don't think they will be able to sustain that for much longer. I think the Jazz are going to come out flat here and I think this is a game that the Wizards have a chance to even win this game. I like the Wizards to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 101-97 Wizards. | |||||||
12-11-21 | LSU v. Georgia Tech OVER 139 | 69-53 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LSU/Georgia Tech OVER. I am on the over in the LSU vs Georgia Tech game on Saturday. LSU has looked great this year and they haven't lost a game yet. Their offense has looked really good in their games lately. They have only scored a bit over 65 points in 2 of their 3 most recent games but they have scored 74+ points in every other game this year. They are also destroying teams that they play and putting up a ton of points in the process. They have won all 8 games this year except for 1 by 10+ points and they have scored 80+ points in most of their games this year. Georgia Tech has not looked as good as LSU this year and they haven't been scoring as much as them either lately. Georgia Tech has still put up 60+ points in every game this year and they have even put up 70+ points in half of their games. Georgia Tech is not as bad as some of these other teams that LSU has faced this year so I doubt that they are going to get blown out by 30+ points like LSU has done in some of their games. I think Georgia Tech is going to put up some points here to keep up but I also think that LSU has a much better offense and will likely put up a lot more points than them still. I think Georgia Tech will score 60+ points in this game and maybe even get over 70. I also think that LSU is going to continue their great play here and put up 80+ points in this game. I think there will be a lot of points in this game with the offense from these 2 teams. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 86-72 LSU. | |||||||
12-11-21 | Missouri v. Kansas -22 | 65-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas. I like Kansas to cover the spread against Missouri in this game on Saturday. Kansas is the 8th ranked team in the country but they have looked really good ever since losing a close game to Dayton weeks ago. I think Kansas is going to continue their great play lately with another big win on their home court here. They have won 3 games in a row by 10+ points and their 2 most recent games were both won by 20+ points. They had a great defensive effort in their previous game. After 3 games in a row where they gave up 70+ points, they were able to hold UTEP to just 52. Kansas has had a pretty tough schedule so far this year but in their games that they were playing some lesser teams, they have been great on defense giving up less than 70 points in a lot of those games. Missouri has not looked great this year and they have been very up and down in their games. They are beating teams much worse than they are by 20+ points but then they are getting destroyed by the same amount in games where they are playing teams much better than they are. In 2 of Missouri's previous 3 losses, they lost by 20+ points and they have also lost 3 of their 4 losses this year by 10+ points. I think Kansas is going to play much better on defense after their previous game and I am expecting them to shut down Missouri in this game and not let them put up a lot of points. I also think Missouri won't be able to stop Kansas from scoring relentlessly in this game. I like Kansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-56 Kansas. | |||||||
12-11-21 | Navy v. Army UNDER 35.5 | 17-13 | Win | 100 | 26 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Navy/Army UNDER. I am on the under in the Navy vs Army game on Saturday. This is a very special game and winning this game is extremely important to both teams. I think both teams are going to pour a lot of heart and emotion into this game and I am expecting a great defensive effort from each side to bring home that win. This game means so much to both teams that each team could go winless the whole year but they would chalk their season up to a success if they won this game. I am expecting this to be a physical and hard fought game by both sides but also respectful so I don't see either team blowing the other out in an embarrassment. Neither of these teams really throw the ball well or often either so there is going to be a lot running here that will eat away at the clock. This game will be played at MetLife on Saturday and the weather forecast is calling for rain on that day so that will definitely limit the passing in this game. I'm expecting both teams to run the ball a lot in this game and eat up the clock with long and physical drives. I think that the defenses are going to play well to stop each team from scoring since this game is so important to both teams. I'm expecting a low scoring game here so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 17-7 Army. | |||||||
12-10-21 | Bucks -8.5 v. Rockets | 123-114 | Win | 100 | 15 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Bucks. I like the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Friday. The Bucks have looked a lot better in their games lately now that their team has gotten a lot healthier from their injuries. They did not have a great start to the year but they have been playing great lately and have won a lot of games in their last 10, winning 8 of them. They have 2 losses in their previous 4 games but they also went on 8 game winning run right before losing 1 of those games. The Rockets have looked a lot better in their games lately too. They have won 7 games in a row but they still have only 8 wins this year so that run is only going to take them so far. The Rockets are also missing some players here due to injury like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. which I think is going to hurt them a lot in this game. I think the Rockets are due for a let down since they are not a good team and have won 7 games in a row and they also just won their most recent game against the Nets in Harden's return to Houston. I think that they put a lot off effort and energy into that game to beat Harden and the Nets and I think this is going to be a let down for them. The Bucks are still trying to climb the standings and take over 1st place so they will be focused on winning this game. I think that the Rockets win streak is going to come to an end here by the Bucks and the Bucks are going to end it in a big way. I like the Bucks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-94 Bucks. | |||||||
12-10-21 | Murray State v. Memphis -10.5 | 74-72 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis. I like Memphis to cover the spread against Murray State in this game on Friday. Memphis started their season off great with 5 wins in a row but they have not been playing well lately with 3 losses in a row in their previous 3 games. Their loss to Iowa State was a bad one but, their previous 2 losses were both by 3 and 4 points losing 2 very close games on the road. Now they get to be back on their home court in front of their fans and I think that Murray State is going to struggle here in their 2nd road game of the year. Memphis is still a good team and they were even in the top 25 rankings to start the year, I think that they are going to get back on track here and use this game to get right again and get back in the winning column. Memphis was playing great defense at the start of the year only giving up 70+ points in 1/5 of their wins this year. That defense dropped off lately but showed up again in their most recent loss holding Ole Miss to 67 points still. I think they will get back to playing some good defense in this game and that should help take the stress off their offense and make it easier to score and take the lead sustaining it. Murray State has looked good in their games this year but they have had a much weaker schedule than Memphis and Murray State's 1 loss came against East Tennessee State which is not a respectable loss. I think Memphis is due to bounce back in a big way here. I like Memphis to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 83-63 Memphis. | |||||||
12-10-21 | Penguins v. Capitals UNDER 6 | 4-2 | Push | 0 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Penguins/Capitals UNDER. I am on the under in the Pittsburgh vs Washington Capitals game on Friday. The Penguins haven't played all week with their most recent game being played on Monday earlier this week. The Penguins are an older team with their players and they play better when their games are close together or when they are on B2B's because the muscles are still warm for them and they can just continue rolling as opposed to being off a few days, now they have cooled off and will be in more pain from as they will feel the soreness from their previous games. I think that they are going to get off to a slow start in this game and I don't expect them to score a lot of goals here. I think they are going to come out a bit sluggish but these 2 teams hate each other so the Penguins will still try to play a more physical game and try to slow things down on the ice with some good defense. The Capitals also haven't played since Monday and I expect them to get off to a slow start in this game too. I think this is going to be a very physical game with a lot of hitting and fighting in it. I expect both teams to start out slow here and I don't really expect there to be a very fast paced game either. I don't think there will be a lot of goals here so I like this game to go under. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Capitals. | |||||||
12-09-21 | Hurricanes +115 v. Flames | Top | 2-1 | Win | 115 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to beat the Calgary Flames in this game on Thursday. The Hurricanes have looked much better lately and have started to heat up again in their games winning 2 in a row. Both of those wins were impressive wins too as they only gave up 2 goals in each game and scored 10 goals total between the 2 games winning both by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes have actually looked good on the road too winning 2 of their previous 3 road games and winning both by 2+ goals and scored 4+ in both. The Flames looked really good in their games up to last week but they have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are entering a bit of a slump here. They just came back from a 4 game road trip too and I think that they are going to come out flat in this 1st game back at home from that trip. Their defense and goalkeeping has been bad in their games lately. They have given up 11 goals in their 3 most recent games giving up almost 4 goals in every one of those games. They did give up 3+ goals in all 3 of them too. I think that this is going to be a bad spot for the Flames to win here and I like the way the Hurricanes have been playing lately with their scoring and their defending. The Flames have started to cool off lately and the Hurricanes have been heating up in their previous games after just breaking out of their mini slump. I think the Hurricanes are going to get after them in this game, I like the Hurricanes to win this one. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
12-09-21 | Steelers v. Vikings OVER 43.5 | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 14 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Steelers/Vikings OVER. I am on the over in the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings game on Thursday. The Steelers looked really bad at the beginning of the year but they have been keeping themselves competitive all year and their offense has actually started to look better in their games lately. Their offense has put up 20 points and 10 points in their 2 most recent games but Big Ben has looked a lot better throwing the ball in those games and I think they will be able to move the ball against the Vikings here who have been terrible all year on defense. The Steelers did put up 37 points on the Chargers just 3 weeks ago so their offense has shown some flashed but I think Big Ben is bound to have that big game that he hasn't had year all year. This is a great game for that happen in because the Vikings defense has looked very bad and they are coming off probably their worst performance of the year. They gave the lions their 1st win of the year in their most recent game giving up 29 points to them in that game. That was not even the worst part though, the Vikings had a 4 point lead with 2 minutes to go and the Lions needed to drive the ball 75 yards down the field and then score the TD too. Well the Vikings defense was so bad that they let them march right down and score that TD but it was a major error on their part since the defenders were backing up way too much and playing way too deep. After what we saw from them in that game, I have full confidence that the Steelers will move the ball and put up some points in this game. The Vikings have had no problems on offense this year though, they have put up 25+ points in 5 games in a row and have even given up the same in most of those games. I think the Vikings will be able to score points in this game too and if their defense is getting gashed then they will have to score even more to keep up and make up for that. I think there is going to be a lot of points here so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Steelers. | |||||||
12-09-21 | Jazz v. 76ers OVER 217.5 | 118-96 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jazz/76ers OVER. I am on the over in the Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers game on Thursday. The Jazz have looked good in their games lately and they have been putting up a ton of points in those games. The Jazz have put up 130+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games and they have put up 125+ points in 4 of their 5 previous games, still scoring 100+ points in all of those games. The Jazz are healthy for this game and will have all of their key pieces in the lineup. The Jazz have some great scorers in Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley so they are going to put up a lot of points to beat a team like the 76ers, and even if they miss their shots they still score a lot because of Rudy Gobert under the net gobbling up all the rebounds. The 76ers have also been healthy for the last week and with all of their starters back from injuries and illnesses all playing with each other on the court again, they have looked much better in their games lately. Their 2 most recent games they looked really good winning both and putting up 110+ points in both games, even getting up to 127 in 1 of those. They have also let their defense go a bit in those games and have given up 100+ points in both, even giving up 124 in 1 of those. The 76ers know they have a good team in front of them with some big bodies and they will need to score points here to win this game. I think this is going to be a faster paced game with a lot of points and very little defense. I like this game to go over. T.M. Prediction: 121-117 Jazz. |
