03-25-21 | Rangers v. Flyers +104 | Top | 8-3 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Flyers (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). New York has been on fire, and it just beat Philadelphia 9-0 a week and a half ago. The Flyers have lost three straight. These teams overall records though are quite similar, as New YOrk is 14-13-4 with 32 points, while Philly is 15-12-4 with 34 points. Recent form would suggest that New York would be the correct call here, but I love this price on the more "desperate" team. The Flyers play with revenge after that humiliating loss to the Rangers and they're clearly hungry to break out of their current slide as well. As Bob Barker used to say: "The Price Is Right," as well; the play is Philly! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flyers. | |||||||
03-24-21 | Clippers v. Spurs +6 | Top | 134-101 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Clippers have won three of their last four after getting the better of the Hawks 119-110 in their most recent matchup at home. San Antonio has split its last six games, but after two straight losses, it's time to hit the panic button in San Antonio. LA though has been terrible in this spot for bettors, going just 1-5 ATS in its last six on the road and only 1-6 ATS in their last seven following a SU win. The Spurs on the other hand have excelled in this spot by going 19-9 ATS in their last 28 as an underdog. The outright is possible, but grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-24-21 | Flames -1.5 v. Senators | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Flames PUCKLINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I like the 15-15-3 Flames to avenge their 3-2 loss here two nights ago. The Senators still have the worst defense in the league. They're also a terrible 1-6 in their last seven after holding their previous opponent to two or less goals. Calgary comes in focussed today and delivers in this revenge spot, not only winning here, but winning big; lay the 1.5 goals for the big plus-money return! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Flames. | |||||||
03-23-21 | Panthers v. Blackhawks UNDER 6.5 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Panthers/Hawks UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Chicago has last four straight. It's also lost all four games to Florida this year, but all on the road. Both teams have dynamic offenses, but if Chicago is going to break out of this slide, clearly it's going to have to concentrate heavily on its performance on the defensive end. The Panthers have been great on the road (10-3), dominating on both ends of the ice, but note that they've seen the total go under the number in seven of their last nine as a road favorite in the -120 to -165 range. This number is a tad high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Florida. | |||||||
03-23-21 | Nuggets v. Magic UNDER 217.5 | Top | 110-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Magic UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). Denver comes in off a 113-108 loss at home to the Pelicans. Now they hit the road for a three-game swing, which sees them at Toronto tomorrow, followed by the re-match at New Orleans two nights after that. The Magic beat the Nets 121-113, before then falling 112-96 at Boston two nights later. It's interesting to note that Orlando has seen the total go under the number in eight of its last 11 after a SU/ATS road loss in which it scored 100 or less points in. I think Denver comes out flat and I look for the Magic to double down on the defensive end as they try to earn a rare victory; this number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-22-21 | Hawks v. Clippers -6 | Top | 110-119 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: CLIPPERS (10* TRADE-MARK). After eight straight wins, including a road victory over the Lakers here in this building in their last, I expect the Hawks to stumble finally. The Clippers crushed the Hornets by 27 points here on Saturday and I look for them to carry that momentum over here. LA is 3-1 the last four in this series at home. Finally take note that LA is 7-1 ATS in its last eight after a SU/ATS victory of 25 or more points. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-22-21 | Jets v. Canucks +114 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Vancouver is red hot, but it's coming off a 5-4 shootout loss to the Habs. The Canucks though are ust two spots out of a playoff position now and I expect them to bounce back here on home ice. The Jets are off a 4-2 road loss to Edmonton. The Jets are a great team, but I think they're in the wrong place at the wrong time here. So far Vancouver is just 2-3 in this season series, but it does play with revenge after a 4-2 loss in the latest. I look for the much improved home side to deliver in this favorable spot! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks. | |||||||
03-21-21 | Bulls -3 v. Pistons | Top | 100-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bulls (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Bulls to find a way to get the job done here. Chicago has lost four of its last six and two in a row. It hasn't been for a lack of tring, as Chicago is off a tight 131-127 OT road loss in Denver on Friday. Detroit's lost seven of its last ten and I think it's ripe for the picking here. The Pistons have won two in a row, most recently a 113-100 road victory at Houston. Huge letdown spot here for sure for the home side, while Chicago can't be happy after coming up just short in Denver. The play is Chicago! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-20-21 | Grand Canyon v. Iowa -14.5 | Top | 74-86 | Loss | -103 | 29 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I think Luka Garza and the Hawkeyes are going to lay the hammer down here on the Grand Canyon Antelopes. Grand Canyon earned the 15th seed by winning the WAC vs. New Mexico State last weekend. Iowa earned the No. 2 seed after falling to Illinois in the Big Ten Semifinals. Both teams are sharp defensively, as the Antelopes allow just 61.1 PPG, while the Hawkeyes allow 71.9. Iowa though is 7-0-1 ATS in its last eight as a neutral site favorite, and I simply can't see Grand Canyon's sub-par offense keeping pace with the high-flying Hawkeyes. This one has "BLOWOUT" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-19-21 | Mavs v. Blazers OVER 233 | Top | 119-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavs/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). These two teams are hungry for a win. They're very similar as well, in that each likes to get out and push the pace and defense is normally an afterthought. This one definitely has all the makings of a wide-open shootout in my opinion. Portland averages 115.1 PPG, while the Mavericks average 111.4. With the pace of play expected to be extremely high from start to finish, look for this total to go over by mid-way through the fourth quarter! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-19-21 | Golden Knights v. Kings UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Vegas UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY The Knights are on a four-game win streak. Most recently they held on for a high-scoring 5-4 win over the Sharks on Wednesday. Las Vegas is adept on both ends of the ice though and after that high-scoring victory last time, I'm definitely expecting more of a defensive affair here from the visiting side (note that the Knighs have still conceded two goals or less in five out of their last nine games.) The Kings are coming off a much-needed 4-1 win over the Blues (note though that LA has scored two goals or less in six of its last ten.) Expect a hard-fought, but ultimately low-scoring under in this one! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-19-21 | Morehead State v. West Virginia -13 | Top | 67-84 | Win | 100 | 30 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: WVU (10* OPENING ROUND GAME OF YEAR). Morehead State has won seven in a row and advanced here by beating Belmont in the OVC Tournament Championship game. The Eagles aren't a high-scoring team, but they make up for it on the defensive end by conceding just 63.4 PPG. The Eagles played two ranked teams this year and were annihilated by each, falling 81-45 to Kentucky and 77-44 to Ohio State. WVU has a big chance here to turnaround a poor ending to the regular season. WVU has four players averaging in double figures and I can't see the Eagles keeping pace in the second-half. Note as well that the Mountaineers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite, while Morehead State is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine neutral site contests as an underdog. Look for the hungry Mountaineers to press from start to finish and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-18-21 | UCLA v. Michigan State UNDER 135 | Top | 86-80 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA/MSU UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). UCLA enters off an 83-79 OT loss to Oregon State in the conference tournament. The Bruins were 17-9 overall, and they come in desperate to break a four-game slide and prolong their run in The Big Dance. The Bruins average 72.8 PPG, while allowing only 68.5. Michigan State got crushed by Maryland in the first round of the Big Ten tournament by a score of 68-57. MSU averages 69 PPG, while conceding 70.6. When MSU pulled off a couple big upsets this year, it was because of its tough defensive play. UCLA is a deliberate offense and I think all of these factors will add up to an under once the final whistle blows! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-18-21 | Pelicans v. Blazers OVER 240 | Top | 93-101 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pels/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These two teams just played to a high-scoring over here two nights ago in the Blazers slim 125-124 vicotry. Brandon Ingram had 30 points for the Ples, while Damian Lillard poured in 50 for the Blazers. I expect a repeat performance here for sure. These teams have played to four straight over in the series and all signs point to this trend continuing for sure, especially with Blazers' star guard CJ McCollum expected back in the line-up tonight. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-18-21 | Coyotes v. Ducks +115 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 115 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ducks (10* SHOCKER BEST OF THE BEST). At some point the Coyotes are going to break out of their current slump which has seen them lose four in a row, but I think that they're in the wrong place at the wrong time here. Anaheim has lost four in a row as well, but it's been its defensive play which has let it down. Thankfully Anaheim is facing a Coyotes team that has no offensive punch at all right now. Further note that Arizona is a poor 8-23 in its last 31 on the road and 0-4 in its last four when playing one days rest. Anaheim is just 2-5 the last seven in this series, so the revenge factor is working in its favor here as well! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Anaheim. | |||||||
03-17-21 | Heat v. Grizzlies UNDER 221 | Top | 85-89 | Win | 100 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat/Grizzlies UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Grizzlies are going to be hungry to break a three-game slide and I expect them to double down on the defensive end of the court here because of it. Miami has won five in a row, as it's allowed just 96.2 PPG over that stretch. Miami is locked in and focussed in the second half after a slow opening to the season and I don't expect it to change its approach tonight. This Memphis D is terrible, but the Grizzlies are downright desperate here. Expect a hard-fought, but lower-scoring under in this one! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-17-21 | Canadiens v. Jets OVER 5.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs/Jets OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Winnipeg has seen the total go over in eight straight. That includes the Canadiens 4-2 win here two nights ago. That was the fourth game this year that these teams have combined for six or more goals. Note as well that the Jets have seen the total go over the number in ten of their last 14 home games in trying to revenge a two goals or greater home loss to an opponent. Look for these two division rivals to push the pace and expect this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-16-21 | Pelicans v. Blazers -1.5 | Top | 124-125 | Loss | -112 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
. T.M. Selection: Blazers (10*). The Blazers opened with a win and cover at Minnesota after the break, but they enter off a 114-112 loss there two nights ago. Portland's lost four straight ATS, but I expect that slide to end here vs. a New Orleans team that plays better at home than on the road. The Pels have won two straight at home, including a satisfying upset victory over the Clippers in their most recent, but note that they're just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after scoring 135 or more points in a SU/ATS victory in their last outing. I'm laying the short points, but expecting a major blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-16-21 | Borussia Monchengladbach v. Manchester City UNDER 3.25 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Man City UNDER 3.5 goals (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). This game is being played in Budapest. The reverse fixture was won 2-0 by City also staged in the Puskas Arena. Over its last two games though, City has conceded just two goals, and both were in a 5-2 lowout win over Southampton. Gladbach comes limping in, having lost six straight across all competitions. Look for Man City to control the pace and for this one to fall well under! T.M. Prediction: 1-0 City. | |||||||
03-15-21 | Grizzlies v. Suns OVER 228 | Top | 99-122 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Suns OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Here's a great situational play, as I look for each team to open up the play book after suffering a loss in its last outing. Memphis has in fact lost three of its last four, and it's now fallen back under .500. The Grizz come off a high-scoring 128-122 loss to the Thunder: “We give them a lot of credit, I thought the Thunder played great today,” Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. “We couldn’t get in a rhythm, I felt, offensively. We put them on the free-throw line too much. They got hot, you gotta give them credit.” The Suns lost to a desperate Pacers team at home last time out. Phoenix is 12-7 at home and 13-5 on the road. As stated off the top though, after each team lost last time out, we can expect both to push the pace from start to finish. All signs point to this one going over the number. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-15-21 | Canadiens v. Jets +100 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jets (10* TRADE-MARK). I think this is a great price on the "better" team here, which has the luxury of playing at home. It's hard to know what you'll get out of Montreal from night to night. It enters on a two game losing streak and it has to contend with a Jets' offense which is averaging 3.37 GPG this year, while allowing 2.85. Montreal is averaging 3.19 GPG, and conceding 2.63, but those numbers are a bit skewed due to its amazing start. Off a big series win over the division leading Leafs, I like the Jets to kick in the afterburners here at home and scorch the floundering Canadiens; lay the short price! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Winnipeg. | |||||||
03-14-21 | Celtics v. Rockets +11 | Top | 134-107 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets (10* SITUATIONAL SHOCKER). Outright victory? Probably not. But just like the Jazz giving up 19 points in Houston's latest road loss, this is just too many points to be giving up here as well for the C's. Boston lost by 12 in Brooklyn in its last outing. Houston's lost 15 straight, so we know it'll be out to break that slide here at home. Houston could get Wood back today too, so that's huge. Boston is also a terrible 0-4 ATS in its last four as a road favorite, and 0-7 ATS on the road in its last seven overall. House Jr. and John Wall are also expected to play for the Rockets. I think an outright upset is in the cards, but in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-14-21 | Kings v. Avalanche OVER 5.5 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Avs OVER (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). After a great run, the Kings are going to need to adjust here as they've lost six of their last eight. That includes a 2-0 shutout loss here two nights ago. LA is in the middle of the pack both offensively and defensively, but it' seen the total go over the number in 8 of its last 10 in trying to revenge a road shutout loss to an opponent. Colorado has been floundering of late, but it'll be looking to build on its modest two-game win streak. Both situationally. Expect a much more wide-open, and ultimately higher-scoring contest here. The play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Avs. | |||||||
03-14-21 | Ohio State v. Illinois -6 | Top | 88-91 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois (10* BIG TEN TOURNEY GAME OF YEAR.) It's all come down to this. These two teams have been great, but Illinois is the better team on both ends of the court and I expect it's offense to be just too much for Ohio State to keep up with down the stretch. Ohio State upset Michigan to advance, and I think it'll be gassed here. The Buckeyes average 77 PPG, and they concede 70.3. The Fighting Illini average 81 PPG, while conceding just 68.6. Illinois is 5-0 ATS In its last five vs. teams with a record above .600 and 7-3 ATS in its last ten as a favorite, while Ohio State is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven overall. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-13-21 | Georgia Tech v. Florida State -4 | Top | 80-75 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida State (10* BEST OF BEST). Both teams have been playing reall well to reach this point. Georgia Tech beat Miami to advance (and got an unexpected bye), while FSU took out UNC by three points in its most recent matchup. The Seminoles rank tenth in the entire country in adjusted offensive efficiency and I just can't see the Yellow Jackets keeping pace. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-13-21 | Blackhawks v. Panthers -157 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Chicago has been better of late, but it's still lost three of its last five. Off a 4-2 win at Dallas though, I expect it to struggle with consistency in this difficult road venue. The Panthers are off a 5-4 OT win at Columbus in their last outing. Florida averages 3.38 GPG, while conceding only 2.85 and I expect that consistency on both ends of the ice to be just too much for the Hawks to handle in the opener of this two-game series in Florida; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Florida. | |||||||
03-13-21 | Raptors +2.5 v. Hornets | Top | 104-114 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors (10* TRADE-MARK). The break came at a great time for the Raptors. Toronto has lost five of six. Overall it averages 113.2 PPG, while allowing 111.8. Fred VanVleet averages 20.1 points and 4.4 boards per game. The Hornets have won five of their last eight. Charlotte averages 112.5 PPG, while allowing 112.9. I think the Raptors superior defense and the extra time off pays dividens for bettors; I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-12-21 | Pacers v. Lakers -4.5 | Top | 100-105 | Win | 100 | 14 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams are in desperate need of a victory. The Lakers are still going to be without AD in the line-up, but LBJ is back and I like him and Dennis Schroeder to run roughshod over this inconsistent Pacers side which enters having lost five straight. Note that the Lakers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine when playing with three or more days of rest. Indiana has a tough game at Phoenix tomorrow night and I think it classically gets caught looking ahead here as well. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-12-21 | Sharks v. Ducks -118 | Top | 6-0 | Loss | -118 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ducks (10* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams are near the bottom of the league. The Ducks had gone on a small mini-run, bu tthey came back down to earth with a 5-1 loss in their most recent action. Still, the Sharks are downright terrible, allowing 3.7 GPG. The offense for San Jose is likely even worse, averaging just 2.7 GPG. Anaheim is also 7-3 in its last ten after allowing five or more goals in a home loss in its last outing. Great value on the Ducks here! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Anaheim. | |||||||
03-12-21 | Ohio State v. Purdue OVER 142.5 | Top | 87-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Purdue/OSU OVER (10*). Two of the best in the conference/nation go head-to-head here and I'm expecting some offensive fireworks. Both teams come in off victories and each has performed well in this spot, as Ohio State has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after a victory, while Purdue has seen the total fly over in seven of its last ten neutral site games. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-11-21 | Canadiens v. Flames OVER 5.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -111 | 13 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs/Flames OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). Montreal enters off a much-needed 5-1 win at Vancouver last night. Vancouver had won three in a row previous to that, but the Habs were desperate for a decent offensive performance and they finally got one. Calgary though enters desperate here now as well after three straight losses. These are two teams in need of a win and I expect that competitiveness to translate into offensive production on the ice this evening. One last thing, note that the Canadiens have seen the total go over the number in seven of their last ten when playing the second game of a back-to-back and off a victory in their first one. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Calgary. | |||||||
03-11-21 | Knicks v. Bucks -11 | Top | 101-134 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks (10* TRADE-MARK). The New York Knicks at 19-18 have played much better than most though over the first half. The Milwaukee Bucks at 22-14 have played worse than the pundits predicted before the season started. But here we go with the start of the second half and I think Giannis and company will deliver at home. The Knicks won eight of 11 before the break, but the extra time off isn't going to be helping with any chemistry. The Bucks actually won six of their final seven games before the break and they're 7-3 ATS in their last ten following a win. The Knicks on the other hand are just 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. clubs with winning records. Lay the points, expect a monster blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-11-21 | Cal Poly v. Cal-Irvine UNDER 128 | Top | 51-58 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UC Irvine/Cal Poly UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Cal Poly is only 4-18, and I have a hard time seeing it mustering much of an offensive attack here vs. the 15-8 UC Irvine Anteaters. The Mustangs actually snapped a nine-game slide with a win over CSU Fullerton in the opener of the tournament. UC Irvine enters on a four-game win skein. The Anteaters enter off a commanding 73-58 win over LBSU on Saturday and I expect a similar smothering defensive peformance here as well. These teams met twice in the regular season and the Anteaters held the Mustangs to just 49 and 44 points respectively. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: Coming shortly. | |||||||
03-10-21 | Iowa State v. Oklahoma -11 | Top | 73-79 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Do I think that Iowa State can break its 17 game slide with an epic upset win here? I do not. Do I think the Cyclones can even compete here vs. Oklahoma? I also, do not. I expect the Sooners to lay the hammer down here from start to finish. Iowa State only averages 65.3 PPG, while conceding 76.6. The Sooners on the other hand average 75.1 PPG, while allowing 69.1. The Sooners won't be taking anything for granted here after losing their final four games of the regular season. Here's the perfect opponent to take their frustrations out on; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-10-21 | Wizards v. Grizzlies -3 | Top | 112-127 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). Washington's split its last six games. The Wizards average 114.8 PPG, but they concede 119.1. Washington's been playing better over the last month or so, but I don't think the extra time off here is going to help with its chemistry. Especially on the road against a Grizzlies team which averages 111.6 PPG, while conceding 110.8. Memphis is coming off a SU loss, but it's 5-1 ATS in its last six following an ATS setback. I can't trust the Wizards on the road, but Memphis comes in as healthy as it's been in a long time. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-10-21 | Golden Knights -116 v. Wild | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). Vegas and Minnesota are very evenly matched. Clearly the oddsmakers think so as well. Their offensive and defensive numbers are very similar as well. This is a tough conference for sure. The Wild won here 2-0 two nights ago, so the immediate revenge factor comes into play here and it'll be the difference in the end in my opinion (as note that Las Vegas is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge a shutout loss vs. an opponent.) Great value on the talented Knights! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vegas. | |||||||
03-10-21 | NC State v. Syracuse -2.5 | Top | 68-89 | Win | 100 | 4 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse (10* MONEY-MAKER). NC State is 13-9, it beat Notre Dame by 11 in its finale. Syracuse is 15-8 and it last beat Clemson at home by ten points. Despite having won five in a row, I think that the Wolfpack will stumble here vs. the defensive-minded Orange. In the win over Clemson, Syracuse conceded just 54 points. NC State is fantastic defensively as well, but note that the Orange are 7-2 ATS in their last nine neutral site games as a favorite in the -1.5 to -3.5 points range. Lay the short points, but don't be surprised by a lop-sided destruction! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-09-21 | Southern Miss v. Rice -4 | Top | 52-61 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rice (10* MONEY-MAKER). Southern Miss is just 8-16, while Rice is 13-12. The Golden Eagles enter the Tournament off a loss to FAU at home by seven points in their finale. The Owls lost four of their final five games, but they were the much more consistent team throughout the season. Rice is also 6-2 ATS in its last eight vs. a team with a losing SU record, while the Golden Eagles are a poor 1-6 ATS in their last seven overall. Rice ranks 133rd in adjusted offensive efficiency, while Southern Miss ranks 303rd. Look for the Owls to pull away in the second half! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-09-21 | Panthers v. Blue Jackets +117 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jackets (10* TRADE-MARK). These teams have played twice and each has won once. Florida is coming off a 4-2 loss to Carolina. Florida is struggling on the defensive end of late, allowing at least three goals in five out of its last seven games. Columbus has also been struggling of late, but after losing six of its last eight games, we definitely don't have to question its resolve or focus here. The Jackets come in focussed after a humbling 5-0 loss to Dallas (note that they're 7-2 in their last nine after getting shutout in their last outing) and take advantage of this suddenly struggling Panthers' defense. Great value play on the hungrier home side! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Columbus. | |||||||
03-08-21 | Kings v. Ducks +108 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 108 | 13 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ducks (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Both teams started out slowly, but each is looking better. LA lost four in a row before its most recent 4-3 win over the Blues. The Ducks just snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 5-4 OT win over the Avs, so they clearly aren't going to be happy in this spot. Anaheim had played to seven straight one goal losses before its win, so the Ducks have in fact been playing hyper-competitively of late. Expect the home side to find a way to get the job done here! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Anaheim. | |||||||
03-08-21 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga OVER 142.5 | Top | 55-78 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga/Saint Mary's OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Gonzaga is 24-0 and I expect it to send a statement here, not only to Saint Mary's, but also to the rest of the conference and the rest of the country. Gonazga just beat Saint Mary's 73-59 in its regular season finale. The Gaels will be forced to match pace here with the Bulldogs. Good thing for Saint Mary's here is that it's line-up is 100% healthy. The Bulldogs are the highest scoring team in the nation, averaging 92.9 PPG and I expect them to hit that mark and go over it tonight. Gonzaga has the fourth highest tempo in the nation and I expect for that to be on full display tonight. This total is a little low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-07-21 | Panthers v. Hurricanes -146 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hurricanes (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). No need to overthink this one. Florida is off a very satisfying 6-2 win at Nashville just last night and I'm definitely expecting a letdown here in the second game of the B2B situation (note that Florida is just 2-6 in its last eight after scoring six or more goals in a four goals or greater victory in its last outing as well.) Carolina enters on top form, winner of four straight, including a 5-2 in at Detroit. The Hurricanes have also had two whole nights off (rare in the NHL these days), and in my opinion, they're getting severely undervalued still in this situation. All things considered, I'd say that this is the very definition of "great line value." The play is Carolina! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Carolina. | |||||||
03-07-21 | Texas Tech v. Baylor UNDER 139 | Top | 73-88 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech/Baylor UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Texas Tech is 17-8 after beating Iowa State at home by 27 points in its last outing. Baylor is 20-1 after hammering Oklahoma State at home by 11 in its last outing. Mac McClung and the Red Raidres are catching fire at the exact right time, but clearly Texas Tech will be looking to slow the pace of this one down and get the Bears out of their comfort zone. Texas Tech is ranked 16th in defensive efficiency, while Baylor ranks 25th. Look for this slower-paced game to stay well under the number once the final horn sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-06-21 | Aljamain Sterling v. Petr Yan -120 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Petr Yan (10* FIGHT OF THE WEEK.) This is arguably the most anticipated fight on this card tonight. These are two similar fighting fighters, but I like Petr Yan to find a way to deliver. Sterling is a wrestler, and Yan is more of a striker. This cage is slightly smaller for APEX, which is going to help the champion Yan, as Sterling will have much less room to move and hit from the outside. Sterling hasn't record a knockdown in his UFC career and I don't think he'll be able to stand with Yan at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: Sub/TKO/KO. | |||||||
03-06-21 | Alabama -8 v. Georgia | Top | 89-79 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama (10* TRADE-MARK). Alabama annihilated Georgia by a score of 115-82 earlier in the year and I think that another beatdown is in the cards here as well. Alabama is 20-6, averaging 79.2 PPG, while conceding 70.0. Georgia averages 77.4 PPG, while conceding 78.4. The Crimson Tide are 11-6 ATS in their last 17 conference games and I simply can't see the Bulldos slowing down this offensive juggernaut. I'm laying the points and expecting a decisive victory! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-06-21 | Flyers v. Penguins OVER 6 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pens/Flyers OVER (10* TOTAL SLAP-SHOT). The first two games of this three-game mini-series have flown well over the number and all signs point to another barn-burner on Saturday afternoon. Philly is great offensively, averaging 3.35 GPG, but it's poor on the defensive end, conceding 3.00 GPG. Pittsburgh has also been great offensively, averaging 2.95 GPG. The Pens though have struggled on the defensive end by conceding an average of 3.23 GPG. Pittsburgh had a 3-0 lead late in the last game, but then fell apart. Everything once again points to another shootout! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Pens. | |||||||
03-05-21 | Wild v. Coyotes +125 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Coyotes (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). I like the Coyotes to build off their 3-2 win over LA from two nights ago. Minnesota is 5-3-2 on the road, but the Wild come to town in terrible form, having lost two straight and conceding a whopping ten goals in the process. The Coyotes just broke a two-game slide in their last outing, so they won't be taking anything for granted here. These teams play again here tomorrow night, but this opener favors the home side here. Great value on the Coyotes! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Yotes. | |||||||
03-05-21 | Idaho State v. Eastern Washington -12 | Top | 62-75 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Eastern Washington (10* TRADE-MARK). I think the 12-7 Eastern Washington Eagles are the better team here and I like them to find a way to deliver vs. this 11-9 Idaho State Bengals. The Bengals comes in off a 68-63 win over Eastern Washington last time out, which sets this up as an immediate revenge game for the Eagles. Idaho State is averaging 68.7 PPG, while allowing 60.7. The Eagles are averaging 79.5 PPG, while conceding 72.1. Eastern Washington is still 11-4 ATS in its last 15 vs. teams with winning records and in this revenge spot and off the upset loss, all signs point to this one being completely lop-sided in nature; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-04-21 | UCF -3 v. East Carolina | Top | 64-60 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCF (10*). The Pirates somehow managed to beat Houston, but since then they've predictably lost two in a row. Expect that slide to continue here. ECU is 0-4 ATS with four-plus days off and just 1-6 ATS in its last seven following a loss. UCF beat the Pirates by seven points earlier in the year, but all signs point to a much more lop-sided destruction here. Clearly the outright upset is possible, but in the end I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-04-21 | Jets v. Canadiens -139 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -139 | 11 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Jets are off a 5-2 win over Vancouver and they've won five of their last seven, but I think they'll stumble vs. this determined Canadiens team, which finally broke a five-game slide with a 3-1 win over the Senators. These teams sport similar offensive and defensive numbers. Both have good goaltending as well. Montreal plays with triple revenge here though and after just snapping a huge losing streak, I expect the home side to come out on fire here. Look for Winnipeg to take a step back in this difficult road venue and lay the price with confidence! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-04-21 | Raptors +8.5 v. Celtics | Top | 125-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors (10* TRADE-MARK). I think this is a great spot to pull the trigger on the underdog here. The Raptor are dealing with a COVID outbreak and they lost 129-105 at home just last night to Detroit. But now with that awkward contest out of the way, I think this underdog side offers plenty of value vs. this inconsistent Boston side, that has been alternating wins and losses over its last four games. Off a 117-112 win over the Clippers, I expect this pattern/trend to continue. Finally note that Toronto is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after allowing 125 or more points in a SU/ATS home loss in its last outing. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-03-21 | Warriors v. Blazers OVER 235.5 | Top | 106-108 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). These are two teams looking for a victory here before the All Star break and I look for that competitiveness to translate into a lot of offensive production on the court. The Warriors had their three-game win skein snapped ina listless 117-91 road loss to the Lakers, but there's no reason not to think that Steph Curry and this high-flying Warriors side can't take advantage of this poor Portland defense. The Blazers finally broke their four-game slide with a 123-111 home win over the Hornets and they can ill afford to take the foot off the gas either. With both teams expected to push the pace from the opening tip until the final horn, look for this total to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-03-21 | Wild v. Golden Knights -136 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 14 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). Vegas won this game 5-4 in OT last night and I think that the second game of the back-to-back absoltuely favors the home side here. Vegas has won two-straight in OT, but with a six-game road-trip upcoming, tonight's game takes on added importance. And for the Wild, last night's loss snapped a six-game slide and I expect another letdown here as well. Finally note that Minnesota is in fact just 2-7 in its last nine after allowing five or more goals in an OT loss in its last outing. For all the reasons listed above, I'm taking Vegas baby! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Knights. | |||||||
03-03-21 | Connecticut v. Seton Hall +1.5 | Top | 69-58 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seton Hall (10* TRADE-MARK). This is a huge game for Seton Hall, which is on the cusp of the bubble looking into the Tournament right now. The Pirates come off a poor 61-52 loss to Butler last Wednesday, but I expect them to bounce-back here in this crucial contest. UConn is off an 80-62 win over Marquette, but when these team's met back on February 6th, it was the Pirates who scored the 80-73 victory as 1-point favorites on the road. The Huskies are healthier now, but this one means far more to Hall. I'm backing the Pirates in this one! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-02-21 | Nuggets v. Bucks -6.5 | Top | 128-97 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks (10* TRADE-MARK). Denver is coing off a 126-96 win over OKC. The Nuggets have won six of their last ten, but they're better at home than on the road. Denver faces a Bucks team which struggled for most of the first two months of the season, but which has made big strides the last couple weeks, coming into this one on top form, having won five straight. The Nuggets are just 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 as an underdog, while the Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last six at home. I like the home side to keep the foot on the gas as it looks to make up ground after its slow start; lay the points and expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-02-21 | Illinois +8 v. Michigan | Top | 76-53 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). This could easily be a preview for the Big Ten title game. Illinois scores almost 82 PPG, and whether Ayo Dosunmu plays or not, I think the visiting side will keep this competitive until the final moments. The Illini got the job done against Wisconsin last time out without Dosunmu and I think that Kofi Cockburn can hang with Hunter Dickinson and Franz Wagner. Illinois is also 5-1 ATS in its last six road games vs teams with winning home records. Look for Illinois' unstoppable offense to keep this one close late and grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-02-21 | Wolverhampton Wanderers v. Manchester City UNDER 2.75 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNDER Wolverhampton (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). This match is filled with story lines. Pep Guardiola's team has won 20 in a row and it's unbeaten across 27 matches total. The Wolves are coming off a tough draw with Newcastle. Before that Wolverhampton beat Leeds. I don't expect any colossal upsets here or anything. I look for Man City to do just enough to secure the comfortable outright victory in what points to be a very defensive affair on Tuesday afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 1-0 Man City. | |||||||
03-01-21 | Hornets v. Blazers OVER 235.5 | Top | 111-123 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers/Hornets OVER (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hornets come in off a high-scoring win over the Kings on the road in their last outing and I think they'll be able to carry and build off that offensive momentum here. Portland has lost four straight, so it'll have to match pace with its high-flying visting side. Situationally speaking, this one has over written all over it, but also take note that Portland has seen the total fly over the number in ten of its last 14 home games after a three games or longer SU losing streak; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-01-21 | Oklahoma v. Oklahoma State +1 | Top | 75-79 | Win | 100 | 13 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I like Cade Cunningham and the Cowboys in this one. Oklahoma State picked up a 94-90 road upset win over the Sooners on Saturday and I like them to do it again here. The Sooners are reeling now, on a two-game losing streak and just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after two or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row. That doesn't bode well facing this now confident Cowboys side, which enters on a near-perfect 5-1 ATS run in its last six after scoring 90 or more points in a road OT victory in its last outing. "Momentum" is a very real, tangible factor in sports and at this time of year and the Cowboys enter this contest with a ton of it! The play is Oklahoma State! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-28-21 | Warriors +4.5 v. Lakers | Top | 91-117 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Lakers are a really good team when Anthony Davis is playing, but it's a little too much for LeBron to carry the load all by himself. The Warriors are going to try and take advantage here and while I do in fact think the outright win is possible, in the end I'm grabbing the points. The Warriors have won seven of their last ten and the Lakers are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight at home. Look for Stephen Curry and the visiting side to run up this score on the national stage (but grab the points!) T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-28-21 | Blue Jackets v. Predators -129 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 24 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Predators (10* TRADE-MARK). Nashville fell behind 1-0 in yesterday's matchup against the Blue Jackets, but two second period goals were the difference in the end, as the Predators would then hold on for the 2-1 victory. I expect another victory here for Nashville as well, but more of the "rocking chair" variety. Note that the Predators are 7-2 in their last nine home games after allowing one or less goals in a home victory in their last outing, while Columbus is just 2-6 in its last eight when playing the second game of a back-to-back on the road and coming off a loss in which it scored one goal or less in. Great price, the play is Nashville! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Predators. | |||||||
02-28-21 | Villanova v. Butler +12 | Top | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 21 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Butler (10* SLAM-DUNK). Villanova is 15-3 overall and 10-2 in conference play. No outright upsets here for lowly Butler, but I do think the Bulldogs can take a bite out of the Wildcats and keep this one competitive. Butler is just 8-13 overall and 7-11 in Big East action. Butler's defense though has been good, allowing just 67 PPG. The Bulldogs have covered in four of their last seven games, while Villanova has gone just 1-1-1 ATS in its last three. No outright, but tighther than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-27-21 | Mavs +5 v. Nets | Top | 115-98 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). These teams are very similar in many respects. For the most part defense is an after thought. Most thought though that Luka Doncic and the Mavericks were on the cusp of moving up as one of the elite teams in the league, but that so far has not been the case. If Doncic has a monster game, then the Mavs usually win. Doncic is finding it harder this year though, as team's center in on the dynamic forward. Dallas comes off a poor loss in Philadelphia, but note that it's 7-2 ATS in its last nine road games after allowing 110 or more points in a SU/ATS road loss in its last outing. Brooklyn's been unbelievable of late, but after eight straight covers and with a Western road swing starting two nights from now, I believe the Nets finally get caught complacent here. The outright is possible in my estimation, but in the end let's grab up all these points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-27-21 | Illinois +4.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 74-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois (10* MONEY-MAKER). Illinois defeated Wisconsin 75-60 back on February 6th, winning the rebound battle 46-19. Kofi Cockburn had 23 points and 14 boards in the victory. The Badgers had lost two in a row most recently as well, before pulling away for a 68-51 win over Northwestern. The Illini will be without a couple key players, but they're a deep team that I think can fill in the gaps no problem. The Badgers are alos 0-4 ATS in their last four following a SU win, while the Fighting Illini are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Look for Illinois to rally and find a way to get the job done here! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-27-21 | Flyers -138 v. Sabres | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Flyers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Flyers are only three games out of first place. They'd lost two in a row before beating the Rangers 4-3 last time out. Philly's offense averages 3.44 GPG. The Sabres have lost five of their last seven and they're averaging just 2.47 GPG. Both teams have had to deal with COVID issues this year, but note that Philly is 13-5 in its last 18 vs. teams with losing records and 12-5 in its last 17 on the road. Buffalo on the other hand is 0-4 in its last four home games. Expect the Flyers to find a way to get it done here! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-26-21 | Hornets v. Warriors OVER 231 | Top | 121-130 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Hornets OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These two teams are similar in many respects. Mostly, neither plays much defense and each likes to shoot the three-ball a lot. I expect a faster-paced affair here and look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later. Over these teams last five games, they're averaging just ridiculous numbers (GS has averaged 223.2 and the Hornets have averaged 231), and there's no reason not to believe those trends won't carry over here. This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-26-21 | Southern Illinois v. Loyola-Chicago -19 | Top | 52-60 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Loyola Chicago (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). With the end of the regular season finish line in sight, I look for the 19-4 Ramblers to smash the 11-11 Salukis tonight. Southern Illinois averages 67 PPG and it concedes 69. The Ramblers average 74.3 PPG and allow just 56.1. Loyola Chicago is also 5-1 ATS in its last six at home, while Southern Illinois is just 3-7-1 ATS in its last 11 overall. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-26-21 | Kings +157 v. Wild | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams enter white hot. Both teams are doing extremely well on both ends of the ice right now. Honestly, it wouldn't be difficult at all to write a convincing argument for either of these teams to win this game, but at this price, I think the value definitely swings to the underdog. Note that Minnesota is just 2-6 in its last eight home games as well after scoring six or more goals in a three-goals or greater victory in its last outing. Great value play here on the Kings! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 LA. | |||||||
02-25-21 | Ohio State -4 v. Michigan State | Top | 67-71 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Ohio State is coming off a five-point loss to Michigan, it's first loss in over a month. I like the Buckeyes to get back on track here. I think MSU will take a step back though after back-to-back wins over Indiana and Illinois. Ohio State will be without Kyle Young today, but that just means "next man up." Keep your eyes on EJ Liddell, who leads the BUckeyes with 15.9 PPG. The Spartans have managed two wins in a row, but they still have the 82nd ranked offense. I'm banking on Ohio State's three-point shooting to be too much for MSU to handle down the stretch! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-25-21 | Kings v. Knicks OVER 222 | Top | 121-140 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knicks/Kings OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Both teams are super hungry for a win here, especially the Kings who have lost eight in a row. Sacramento averages 113.9 PPG, while conceding 119.9. De'Aaron Fox remains a bright spot with 22.5 points and 3.2 boards per game for the Kings. The Knicks have split their last 14 games. Overall New York averages just 103.6 PPG, while conceding 108.8. The Knicks are led by Julius Randle, with 23.3 PPG. I think Randle and the Knicks are going to exploit this weak Kings' defense and push the pace. Sacramento has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after playing to four or more straight losses as well; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-25-21 | Devils v. Sabres -109 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sabres (10* TRADE-MARK). These teams have played four times this year and the Sabres hold a 3-1 edge. I like Buffalo to find a way to get the job done here as well. These teams played in New Jersey on Tuesday and Buffalo posted the 4-1 victory. New Jersey has allowed 41 goals this year overall, which is seventh in the league. Buffalo though quickly got through some COVID issues and it's looked great, led by Jack Eichel, who leads the team with 14 points. The Sabres are 4-1 in their last five as a home favorite and 9-3 in their last 13 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation, while New Jersey is just 1-6 in its last seven when playing on one days rest. Lay it! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Buffalo. | |||||||
02-24-21 | Warriors +2 v. Pacers | Top | 111-107 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* MONEY-MAKER). Golden State comes in off a 114-106 win over the Knicks last night. Golden State was down at half-time, but it easily came back in the second half and I expect it to keep that momentum rolling here against this "on again, off again" Pacers side. Indiana has lost seven of its last 11. The Warriors average 114.4 PPG, while the Pacers average 113.4. Indiana is just 2-8 ATS in its last tne at home, while Golden State is 4-1 ATS in its last five Wednesday games (does that stat matter? It doens't hurt!) Regardless, I think the Pacers struggle to keep pace, but I'm still grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-24-21 | Rangers v. Flyers -116 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Flyers (10* TRADE-MARK). Enough is enough for the Flyers. Almost every team, whether pro or College, that's had to take time off due to COVID related issues has struggled this season. Philadelphia has lost two straight coming into this one after an extended period off due to COVID, but I think that it finally has its game legs underneath it here and I expect it to bounce back at home after a 7-3 defeat in its last outing to the Bruins. The Ranger have been consistently inconsistent all year, especially on the offensive end. Now they just lost their best offensive star in Panarin. All things considered, I view this to be the very definition of "great line value." The play is Philly! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flyers. | |||||||
02-24-21 | Real Madrid v. Atalanta OVER 2.75 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -113 | 23 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atalanta/Real Madrid OVER 2.75 Goals (10* CL "TOW!") These teams take on each other in the Champions League for the first time, each looking for an early advantage in the last 16 tie. Atalanta enters on top form, having produced three victories on the bounce. Real Madrid struggled to open the season, but Los Blancos also enter red hot, having won four straight. These teams are evenly matched, but their recent performances all point to an offensive affair here. This number is a tad low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Real Madrid. | |||||||
02-23-21 | Oilers v. Canucks +117 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Edmonton has started to resemble the team most thought it would be before the season started, as it's won three straight and six of its last seven. But all good things come to an end. Winning breeds complacency, especially among younger players. And especially in this different season, where teams are forced to face the same clubs all year. Off a 7-1 win over the Flames, I think Edmonton does indeed come in complacent here. Vancouver has taken a major step back here, but after back-to-back losses to the Jets, we don't have to question the resolve of the home side here. Vancouver still has a good offense (2.91 GPG), and combined with the intensity that I expect it to play with here, I look for it to pull off the minor upset here vs. the Oilers! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
02-23-21 | Iowa State v. Baylor -23 | Top | 72-77 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Baylor (10* MONEY-MAKER). No upsets here. With the end of the season in sight, I look for Baylor lay the hammer down from start to finish and really run up the score against the 2-16 Iowa State Cyclones. Baylor is 17-0 and just beat Texas on the road by 14 points. The Cyclones are coming off a ten-point home loss to Oklahoma and have just been terrible all year. Baylor and Jared Butler on the other hand have arguably been the best team in the nation this year. The Cyclones are a poor 6-13 ATS in their last 19 vs. teams with winning percentages above .600 and I expect this very strong trend to continue here; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-23-21 | Hawks v. Cavs +7 | Top | 111-112 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cavaliers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hawks have lost eight of their last 11. Overall they're averaging 113.3 PPG and conceding 113.2. Trae Young is averaging 29.6 points and 3.9 boards per game. The Cavaliers are even more desperate though as they look to break a ten-game slide. Losing isn't fun, but here's the perfect opponent to get back on track against. Cleveland has to be LOVING its chances today, because it's won five straight in this series. Finally I'll point out that Cleveland is 7-2 ATS in its last nine home games after five or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row. The play is the Cavs! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-22-21 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas/Avs UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). These two teams are good. Las Vegas is 10-4-1 and Colorado is 9-4-1. Each will be in the playoffs. Both have exceptional goaltending, as Las Vegas allows just 2.1 GPG, while Colorado allows only 2.1 as well. These teams can score, but they prefer playing a lock/trap style of game and that's exactly what I expect here. These teams have played to several unders of late and we can expect that strong trend to continue once again! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Vegas. | |||||||
02-22-21 | Bulls v. Rockets UNDER 227.5 | Top | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Bulls UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The Bulls have split their last ten games. Chicago averages 114.5 PPG, while conceding 115.3. Zach LaVine is averaging 28.9 points and 5.1 assists for the visiting side today. The Rockets have been terrible of late as they've lost seven in a row. Overall the Rockets average 109.4 PPG, while conceding 111.3. Christian Wood has been a bright spot for the Rockets, averaging 22 points and 10.2 boards per game. Houston will be desperate for a win here, but the last thing it can do is try and turn this into a shootout and hang with the high-flying Bulls. Expect a slower pace, and for this one to fall under at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-22-21 | Syracuse +5 v. Duke | Top | 71-85 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Syracuse came from behind in the second half to knock off Notre Dame 75-67 in its last outing and I like the Orange to keep that momentum rolling here. Duke is coming off a 66-65 home win over No. 7 Viringian this weekend as a 2.5 point underdog, but the Blue Devils have been the model of inconsistency this season. Syracuse is still in a hunt for an at-large bid to the Tournament. Overall the Orange average 76.5 PPG, while conceding 70.3. Duke is averaging 75.6 PPG, while allowing 71.2. The Blue Devils though are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 at home, while the road team is 4-1 ATS the last five in this series. Two of Duke's latest wins came over lower tier teams. Expect the Orange to find a way to get the job done here! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-21-21 | Celtics -2.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 115-120 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Celtics (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Celtics to find a way to get the job done here once the smoke clears at the end of the night. The C's got back on track with a 121-109 win over the Hawks on Friday. The Pels enter on a two-game losing streak though, as they continue to have major issues on the defensive end. The Celtics allow 109.4 PPG, while the Pelicans allow 115.1. New Orleans has been shooting the ball well lately, but still coming up empty. Boston won't want to turn this into a "shootout" with the Pels, especially with tough upcoming road games at Dallas and Atlanta. I think the C's tougher defense proves to be the difference in this one - lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-20-21 | Kings v. Bulls OVER 232.5 | Top | 114-122 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Bulls OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Kings won this game at home earlier in the year by a score of 128-124 and I expect another high-scoring competitive affair here as well. The Kings are just terrible defensively, conceding 119.3 PPG. The Bulls are horrible defensively as well, conceding 115.4 PPG. These teams also play at a very fast pace, ranked in the top ten in that category. The over has hit in three of the Bulls' last four games overall and in the Kings last four overall. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-20-21 | Islanders v. Penguins OVER 5.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pens/Isles OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF ELITE). The Pens have won two of three fro the Isles, including a 4-1 victory at home on Thursday. Now New York is out for some revenge here as it looks to bounce back. Each has uncharacteristically struggled a big offensively, but note that the Isles have seen the total go over the number in seven of their last ten in trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent in which they scored one or less goals in; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
02-19-21 | Oilers v. Flames OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Flames OVER (10* NORTH CONF. TOTAL OF THE MONTH). Edmonton is 10-8 and the Flames are 8-7-1. These were two teams predicted to compete for a part of the Northern Conference title, but so far each has struggled with consistency. Here's a big opportunity for each to get back on track and I expect this competitive nature to translate into an offensive explosion on the ice tonight. Edmonton averages 3.5 GPG and it concedes 3.3, while Calgary averages 2.9 GPG and it allows 2.7. Calgary though is coming off a 5-1 home loss to the Canucks (after taking two of three in Vancouver), and note that it's also seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of its last nine after allowing five or more goals in a four goals or greater home loss in its last outing. This one has "O-V-E-R" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. | |||||||
02-19-21 | Old Dominion v. UAB -6.5 | Top | 69-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UAB (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). ODU is 11-5 and UAB is 16-4. ODU is off a 65-45 win over Charlotte. Overall the Monarchs average 69.6 PPG, while allowing 69.4. Clearly the margin of error is pretty slim most nights for ODU. UAB is the hungrier team here after its 69-64 loss to Louisiana Tech. The Blazers average 72.4 PPG, while allowing only 59. ODU is also just 3-9-1 ATS in its last 13 against a team with a winning record, while UAB is 4-1 ATS in its last five at home. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-19-21 | Warriors v. Magic OVER 224.5 | Top | 120-124 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Magic OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I expect a faster paced game here in this non-conference matchup, as each team is definitely hungry for a victory today. Golden State comes in with plenty of momentum after back-to-back victories. Orlando has struggled with injuries this year, but it comes in off a momentum building win over the Knicks and they've now suddenly won two of their last three. The Warriors win when the shoot the ball well, so expect Steph Curry and company to open things up here against this suspect Magic perimeter defense. Orlando will have opportunities today as well to improve upon its poor offensive numbers, as the Warriors struggle on that end of the court, especially on the road. When you add it all up, this one has "O-V-E-R" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-18-21 | Stanford v. Washington +10.5 | Top | 79-61 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington Huskies (10* MONEY-MAKER). Stanford enters having won three of its last four most recently getting the better of Utah at home by 7 points. Stanford has a winning road record, but I think it'll have its hands full here with this hungry Washington team, eager for a rare conference victory. The Huskies come in under the radar here after losing 16 of 20 games this year. Washington has been competitive in back-to-back ATS victories, losing 64-61 to UCLA as a 9.5 point dog and actually beating Washington State outright 65-63 as a 6.5 point dog last time out. No outright here, but closer than expected; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-18-21 | Raptors v. Bucks -6.5 | Top | 110-96 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks (10* TRADE-MARK). The Bucks have lost four in a row, including a real stinker to these very Raptors just two nights ago. Toronto's looked better of late, but with a game at Minnesota tomorrow, I think the Raptors get caught looking ahead. The Bucks have major problems obviously, they haven't looked right since the Bubble started last year, but they're still loaded with talent and note that they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine after allowing 120 or more points in a SU/ATS home loss in their last outing. The table is set for a lop-sided destruction, so lay the points with confidence! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-18-21 | Sabres v. Capitals UNDER 6.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sabres/Capitals UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The Sabres looked slow in their first two games back after an extended COVID issue, losing both to the red hot Islanders. I think it's going to take a few more games for the Sabres to get their "game legs" back underneath them. Washington has been hit or miss this year as well, but after a 2-1 win over the Penguins last time out, we can expect the home side to duplicate that performance here. I expect this game to be a "grinder" and for this total to stay well under once the final horn blares! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Washington. | |||||||
02-17-21 | Canucks +133 v. Flames | Top | 5-1 | Win | 133 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* MONEY-MAKER). Off a 4-3 loss at home to Calgary, and having lost seven of their last ten overall, I think the Canucks dig deep here and find a way to get the job done vs. the inconsistent Flames in this revenge scenario. Vancouver actually lost two of three to Calgary at home and it plays only the one game here in Calgary. The Flames are content now off the successful road trip and are going to get caught looking ahead to their two-game series vs. Provincial rival Edmonton on Friday and Saturday. This one has minor upset written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
02-17-21 | Pacers -6 v. Wolves | Top | 134-128 | Push | 0 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pacers are coming off a 120-112 OT loss to the Bulls and they'll be eager here to bounce back in this interconference matchup. The Wolves are off a 112-104 loss here at home last night to the Lakers and they simply don't have the firepower to keep pace, with most of their star players on the injured list. The Wolves are a terrible 2-7 ATS in their last nine when playing the second game of a back-to-back and after giving up 110 or more points in a SU loss in the first, while Indiana is 4-1 ATS in its last five road games after giving up 120 or more points in a SU/ATS OT loss in its previous outing. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-16-21 | Nets +2 v. Suns | Top | 128-124 | Win | 100 | 28 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nets (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Nets come in off a 136-125 win over the Kings last night and I think they offer great value to do it again here in what I predict will be a matchup issue for the Suns, despite KD out of the line-up. Phoenix has won nine of ten ATS, but note that it's just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after playing to four or more straight ATS covers in a row. Yes, this is the second game of the back-to-back for Brooklyn, but I can't see Phoenix keeping pace down the stretch. That said, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-16-21 | Northwestern v. Illinois -13 | Top | 66-73 | Loss | -108 | 27 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois (10* BLOWOUT). Illinois routed Northwestern last month and I expect another beatdown of epic proportions here as well. Northwestern has lost 11 straight, so the temptation to possibly "look past" their lowly opponent, one which they annihilated 81-56, is a definite possibility, but in the end with the regular season so close to finishing, I don't expect any lapse in concentration from the favored side here. And that's the bottom line as far as I'm concerned. Illinois is vastly superior in every facet and as long as it's focussed on the task at hand, it'll have no issues covering this larger spread. And that's exactly what I expect; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-16-21 | Islanders -125 v. Sabres | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 25 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Islanders (10* TRADE-MARK). The Islanders jumped out to a 2-0 lead in Buffalo last night, before then holding on for the 3-1 victory. Buffalo had been off for several weeks due to COVID related issues and it didn't have its game legs underneath it. And in the second game of the back-to-back, I look for that to once again be the case here. I think this is a great price on a red hot Islanders team. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 New York. | |||||||
02-15-21 | Cavs v. Warriors UNDER 225.5 | Top | 98-129 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cavs/Warriors UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Cavaliers are in the middle of a tough Western road swing. Cleveland is without Larry Nance Jr. and Kevin Love right now, so offensive consistency is a major issue for this visiting side. Even on their best night, the Cavs are averaging just under 104 PPG. Defense remains the team's strength, allowing just over 111 PPG. The Warriors come in off a 134-117 loss to the Nets, hitting just four of 20 first half three point attempts. With Miami coming to town next, this also sets up as a look ahead spot, with Steve Kerr likely to rest many stars in the second half. When you add it all up, this one has "under" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-15-21 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Hurricanes | Top | 3-7 | Loss | -159 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets PUCK LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I think this is going to be a super competitive game. I think it's going to be decided late or even in extra periods, so for me, I think the Jackets are well worth laying the mid-sized price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. Columbus is a deep team, skilled in every facet and honestly, it would not be too hard to see them winning this one outright. In the end though, let's lay the price for Columbus on the puckline! T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Jackets. | |||||||
02-15-21 | East Tennessee State +2 v. Chattanooga | Top | 51-53 | Push | 0 | 10 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: East Tennessee State (10* MONEY-MAKER). I like the 12-8 Bucs to pull off the minor upset here. East Tennessee State is 12-8 and it's led by Ledarrius Brewer with 16.5 PPG. Overall the Buccaneers average 71 PPG, while allowing 65.8. The Mocs are 16-5 and led by David Jean-Baptistte with 17.2 PPG. Overall Chattanooga averages 74.3 PPG, while allowing 69.8. East Tennessee State has performed well in this spot for bettors by going 15-7 ATS in its last 22 vs. teams with winning records. ETSU plays with revenge here after losing by two points earlier in the year and that extra motivation edge is the difference maker here. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-14-21 | Blazers v. Mavs OVER 238 | Top | 121-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers/Mavs OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). These two teams push the pace and play little defense and I expect that to once again be the case tonight. The Mavericks enter off a big 143-130 win over the Pelicans on Friday and there's no reason not to think that they can't carry that momentum over here. That's bad news for a Blazers' defense which is conceding 115.3 PPG this year. Dallas' defense is just as terrible, allowing 114.4 PPG. The over has hit in six of these team's last eight in the series and I expect that strong trend to continue; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-14-21 | Minnesota v. Maryland -2.5 | Top | 59-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Maryland (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Maryland crushed the Gophers 63-49 in the first meeting this year and I expect a similar final discrepancy once the final buzzer sounds this time around as well. Revenge is all well and good in certain situations, but the Gophers have yet to even win a game on the road yet this year. The Terps have the 35th ranked defense and it has several impressive victories this year, including over Illinois and Wisconsin. The Terps are 4-1 ATS the last five in this series, while the Gophers are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven away from friendly confines. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-14-21 | Capitals v. Penguins OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Caps/Pens OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Washington's been off since the 7th due to some COVID issues with its opponent, so it comes in rested and ready to break a three-game slide. It last lost 7-4 at home to the Flyers. The Penguins enter off a 4-3 OT win over the Islanders, two nights after falling 4-3 on Long Island. There's no love loss between these two teams and each club has suffered with consistency from game-to-game in the early going. I expect a very wide-open affair and I'll point out as well that the Capitals have seen the total fly over in eight of their last 11 when playing three or more days of rest. This one has "O-V-E-R" written ALL over it! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Penguins. |
