02-13-21 | Northwestern v. Rutgers -8 | Top | 50-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers (10* BEST OF THE BEST). No upsets here in my opinion. The Northwestern Wildcats are struggling in the Big 10. Overall the Wildcats average 72.9 PPG, while allowing 74.1. The Scarlet Knights had won four of five before losing to Iowa last time out. It beat Northwestern on the road by 8 points earlier, but a bigger blowout is in the cards here in my opinion, as note that Rutgers is 7-2 ATS in its last nine home games following a SU/ATS loss. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-13-21 | Senators v. Jets OVER 6 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -116 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sens/Jets OVER (10*). The Senators are super desperate, as they've lost four straight and nine of their last ten. They've seen the total go under in six straight, not surprising considering their pretty much the worst offensive team in the league. To make matters worse, they're also the worst defensively, conceding over 4.00 GPG. The Jets won all four games over the Sens last year and I think they'll build off their 5-1 win here in this matchup two nights ago. I look for Winnipeg to duplicate its offensive performance, but I think the Sens will put up a bit more of a fight this time around. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Jets. | |||||||
02-12-21 | Bruins v. Rangers OVER 5.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -113 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bruins/Rangers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). It's one of the best teams in the league against one of the worst. I mean, if we're going to simply go by their win/loss record that is. But yes, Boston is obviously the favorite here, as it is for sure the much better, more complete team in every respect over its counterpart. The Rangers are young and they've been getting shaky goaltending. Boston averages 3.08 GPG, but it didn't look to fantastic in its 3-2 OT win here two nights ago. The Bruins have now won three straight games by one goal. Boston has in fact gone to overtime as well in three of its last five games, winning two of those. The only other loss in OT was a 4-3 setback at Washington, but they followed that up with a 5-3 in the nation's capital in the following game. The Rangers are struggling offensively and the Bruins only allow 2.17 goals per game. But, when I bet on an OVER, I like to make sure I bet on "motivated" teams and for sure we can say without question that the Rangers are hungry and motivated and whatever other adjective you want to throw in their to describe how much they really want and need to get a win here. New York has now seen the total go UNDER in four straight, but I'll point out that the Rangers have seen the total fly OVER in eight of their last 11 home games after seeing the total go UNDER in three or more straight contests. I think that the second game between these teams will be much more wide open and I expect this total to fly OVER sooner, rather than later. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Bruins. | |||||||
02-12-21 | Knicks v. Wizards +3.5 | Top | 109-91 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards (10* TRADE-MARK). The Knicks come in off back-to-back losses to the Heat. Washington has dropped three of four. These are two bad teams, but Washington mathes up well against New York, as it's won six of the last ten overall, including three of the last five in the series at home. The Knicks have dropped five of their last six road games overall, including 3 of their last four at Capital One Arena. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY . | |||||||
02-11-21 | 76ers v. Blazers OVER 229 | Top | 114-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers/76ers OVER (10* NON-CONF. TOTAL OF MONTH). Philadelphia comes to the West Coast on top form, having won six of its last seven and two in a row. Overall the 76ers average 114.3 PPG, while allowing 110.2. Portland has also been playing well of late, winning three of its last four. Overall the Blazers average 114.5 PPG, but they allow 115.3. The last four times these teams have played against each other, the total has gone over the number and all signs once again point to a shootout between these two currently red hot non-conference opponents; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-11-21 | Flames v. Canucks +132 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Canucks are the much more desprate dog in this fight and I look for them to kick off this four-game home stand with a hard-fought victory. Vancouver will be out to break a poor slide in which it's been outscored 26-10 over its last five games. Vancouver will be facing its ex-goaltender twoday in Jacob Markstrom, which adds incentive as well. Calgary has been hit or miss this year, so I just can't trust the Flames to be able to deal a knock out blow in this situation. Instead, I look for the hungry home side to dig deep and finally play a good game; great value! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks. | |||||||
02-11-21 | Purdue v. Minnesota -3.5 | Top | 68-71 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota (10* TRADE-MARK). The GOlden Gophers will be hungry to break out of a 3-6 run out of their last nine games. Purdue is 6-2 in its last eight. Both teams are still in contention for a tournament spot. This is a big time revenge game for Minnesota as well, as the January 30th meeting between the schools saw a 19-point Purdue victory. Minnesota though is a "different" team at home, with wins over St. Louis, Iowa and Ohio State. Purdue on the road can't be trusted to deliver against this super hungry, revenge-minded home side in my opinion. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-10-21 | Cavs +9.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 95-133 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cavaliers (10* TRADE MARK). The Cavaliers come in as the much hungrier team after four straight losses. Cleveland's been competitive, and I think it can catch the Nuggets a little flat-footed here in this non-conference road contest. Denver is coming off a 125-112 loss to Milwaukee. Denver is averaging 115.3 PPG, but it allows 112.7. The margin of error is pretty slim most nights. The Cavaliers only average 104 PPG, but they concede just 110.3, which is one of the best marks in the NBA. I'll point out as well that the Cavs are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games after four more SU losses in a row. This one has "nail-biter" written all over it; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-10-21 | Rutgers v. Iowa OVER 151.5 | Top | 66-79 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa/Rutgers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Rutgers has won four straight and it's back in the mix as far as the Big Ten race is concerned. Iowa won't be lacking for motivation here today gentlemen, because it's dropped four of its last five to fall to 13-6 overall. Teams have begun to figure out how to slow down Luka Garza, but I think he'll be a handful here for the Red Storm. The Hawkeyes won this game 77-75 back on January 2nd, and while I'm expecting another hard-fought competitive affair, I think it'll be a little more wide-open and high-scoring in the end. Both teams are decent defensively, but the re-match points to a S-H-O-O-T-O-U-T in my opinion - the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-10-21 | Maple Leafs +100 v. Canadiens | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Leafs (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). These are two of the best teams in the league. On both ends of the ice. These are the two highest-scoring teams, and each has a top ten defense as well. These teams are very familiar with each other and they'll be seeing a lot more of each other in the very near future. Including on again on Friday night. Toronto is firing on all cylinders right now and I think offers great value here in an upset role! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Leafs. | |||||||
02-09-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ducks/Knights UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Vegas just lost 4-3 to the Kings, while the Ducks are off a 2-1 win over San Jose. This is the opener of a two-game set and I believe it'll be a tight, lower-scoring battle. Las Vegas has one of the best defenses in the league and after ten days off between games because of COVID issues, I believe it'll be the Knights' offense that stalls out of the gate. The Ducks are one of the lowest scoring teams in the league, but are in the top 10 defensively. This one has "u-n-d-e-r" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Vegas. | |||||||
02-09-21 | Warriors +1.5 v. Spurs | Top | 114-91 | Win | 100 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* TRADE-MARK). The Warriors had a nine point lead after the first quarter last night, but they wound up losing. Suffice it to say, I like Stephen Curry and the Warriors to make adjustments and find a way to ge the job done on Tuesday. San Antonio earned its third straight win somehow, despite only shotting 41 percent from the floor. I can't see San Antonio keeping up the pace here without LaMarcus Aldridge in the lineup. Look for Golden State's up tempo offense to prove to be too much for the Spurs to handle this evening; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-09-21 | Notre Dame v. Duke -7 | Top | 93-89 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke (10* MONEY-MAKER). Duke won the December 16th ACC opener 75-65 and I think a similar final discrepancy is in the works here as well. The Irish just gave up a 17 point half time lead to lost 84-82 to the Yellow Jackets and I think they have a predictable letdown here after that disappointing heart-breaker. The Blue Devils come in off back-to-back losses to Miami and UNC, so a win here is crucial if they want to keep their tournament hopes alive. I can't trust either of these teams in a really big game, but the Irish on the road is much too difficult for me to get behind here. Instead, this one favors the hungry home side desperate to break out of its slump; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-08-21 | Warriors v. Spurs +1 | Top | 100-105 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Spurs have won two in a row and I expect them to keep the foot on the gas here. San Antonio most recently beat Houston 111-106. The Spurs are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after back-to-back SU/ATS victories as well. Golden State has played much better than most would have though I think, but after a 134-132 loss to the Mavericks last time out, I think the Warriors come out flat here. Note that the Warriors are just 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. a team with a winning SU record as well. I'm banking on the home side pulling away! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-08-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -134 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks PUCK LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Clearly, Toronto is the better team this year. Vancouver made big strides last season, even advancing into the second round of the playoff bubble. But it lost a bunch of its defensive core, including goaltenders and it's had a much more difficult time this season duplicating its success. Toronto was good last year and it's seemingly gotten better this year. The Canucks have a good offense, but their defense and goaltending has been terrible. The Leafs are much improved on the defensive end. However, the Canucks are desperate for a win here after losing two straight, and with two games agains the Habs upcoming, I look for the Leafs to get caught looking ahead. Grab the extra 1.5 goals - the play is the Canucks on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
02-08-21 | NC-Greensboro v. Furman -3.5 | Top | 49-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Furman (10* MONEY-MAKER). These are two good teams. UNC Greensboro is 13-5 and Furman is 11-6. The Spartans have now won seven in a row and I think that an inevitable letdown is in the cars here. The Paladins on the other hand look to break out of a 1-3 stretch, most recently falling 75-67 to Wofford on Saturday. Furman though is 7-2 ATS in its last nine conference home games after being held to 69 or fewer points in a SU/ATS loss in its last outing. I expect the "hungrier" team to deliver; the play is Furman! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-07-21 | Chiefs v. Bucs OVER 56 | Top | 9-31 | Loss | -105 | 289 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs/Bucs OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). I expect this total to blast past the posted number sooner, rather than later. Cmon, what's this Super Bowl all about? It's about the veteran Tom Brady, about to pass off the torch to the now future of the league. Brady can have a big performance here, lose, add to his legacy still, and pass on the responsibility of being the face of the league to Patrick Mahomes. These two QB's won't be leaving anything on the field of play today and I absolutely believe they'll be the main story line here. I'll admit, each team has an "under the radar" defense, in fact those units are clearly a big reason why each team is here today. But at the end of the day, these two teams are built around their offensive leaders and I expect the NFL to put on a show the nation here. As stated off the top, look for this total to blast past the posted number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Chiefs. | |||||||
02-07-21 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets +129 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I don't think that the home ice advantage here can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor. Carolina is 6-2-0 on the season, while Columbus is 5-4-3. Carolina looks ripe for a letdown here as well after its five-game win streak was snapped in its last game to Chicago. It's had to say too many negative things about the Hurricanes in the early going, as their numbers are really good on both ends of the ice. However, I simply feel they're in the wrong place at the wrong time today. Bad spot after the loss to the Hawks and facing a motivated home side which just broke a two-game slide with a confidence-building 4-3 win over the Stars in its last outing. A great situational play to add to our bankroll! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 CBJ. | |||||||
02-07-21 | Georgetown v. Villanova -13.5 | Top | 74-84 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Villanova (10* MONEY-MAKER). I think the 5-8 Georgetown Hoyas are going to get steamrolled today from start to finish. The Hoyas come in off a rare win, an 86-79 upset over Creighton. Despite the win, Georgetown still only averages 72.7 PPG, while allowing 74. Villanova won't be "looking past" anyone after its 70-59 loss to St. John's in its last outing. Overall the Wildcats average 77.5 PPG, while conceding only 67.4. This one has "letdown" written all over it for the Hoyas and "bounce back" for the Wildcats; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-07-21 | Celtics +3 v. Suns | Top | 91-100 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Celtics (10* TRADE-MARK). Boston has won two of its last three, most recently coming off an upset win at the Clippers and suffice it to say, I expect it to keep the good tiems rolling here as well. The Suns have been good this year as well. Phoenix though got annihilated by the Pelicans, before then bouncing back with a blowout win over the lowly Pistons. Jayson Tatum is a matchup issue for the Suns. The last time these teams met he had 26 points and ten boards and the Celtics scored 119 points. I think the Suns get caught looking ahead to their easier game tomorrow night at home vs. the Cavaliers. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-06-21 | Manel Kape v. Alexandre Pantoja -125 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 220 h 25 m | Show |
TM Selection: Alexandre Pantoja Pantoja is 22-5 and climbing his way up to a title shot. Pantoja is out to atone for a loss to Askar Askarov . Previous to that Pantoja had won three straight and he'd go to a decision with Deiveson Figuiredo as well. Manuel Kape is 15-4, but he's making his UFC debut here. Pantoja's experience is key in this play for me. Too many unknowns about Kape that I don't trust. Great price as well! T.M. Prediction: TKO/KO/SUBMISSION (2nd RND KO) | |||||||
02-06-21 | Nuggets v. Kings OVER 228 | Top | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Kings OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Two teams hungry for a win collide on Saturday night and I think that an offensive contest is in the works. Denver has lost two of three, most recently getting spanked on the road by the Lakers. On the other end of the spectrum come the suddenly confident Kings, who have won two in a row. The Kings have actually won two straight in this series as well, so they'll be confident in this matchup. And that's important I think, as I believe Sacramento will be pushing the pace from start to finish. The Nuggets are out to shake off a couple terrible performances and get some revenge at the same time. It all adds up to a big time over in my opinion! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-06-21 | East Carolina v. Memphis -12.5 | Top | 59-66 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). East Carolina enters off an upset victory over Houston and suffice it to say, I expect an immediate return to mediocrity here. ECU had lost five in a row previous to that. Memphis on the other hand enters on top form, having won two in a row and five of its last six. Memphis is good on both ends, but especially defensively where it concedes an average of only 63.1 PPG. ECU is primed for a major letdown here and note that it is in fact 0-4 ATS in its last four on the road entering this one. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-05-21 | Bucks v. Cavs +10.5 | Top | 123-105 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cavaliers (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). This spread is MUCH too large for the Bucks to cover today in my opinion. Milwaukee has won two in a row, most recently a 130-110 win over the Pacers. Cleveland on the other hand is desperate to get back into the winners circle after a 121-99 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday. The Bucks are poor defensively, allowing 112.2 PPG. The Cavaliers have a good defense, conceding just 108.7 PPG. Cleveland is also 4-1 ATS in its last five as a home dog, while Milwaukee is just 2-6-1 ATS in its last nine vs. a team with a losing record. The Bucks have struggled to cover in road games and I expect that trend to continue here. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-05-21 | Bruins v. Flyers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 27 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bruins/Flyers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Boston won 4-3 here on Wednesday in overtime. That game appeared as if it would go "under" for most of it, but a late barrage of goals in late second period and third frame ensured that it went over the number. Carter Hart and Tukka Rask both have the abililty to take over a contest at any time and that's definitely what I'm expecting tonight. Note as well that Philly has actually seen the total dip below the number in eight of its last 12 in trying to revenge an OT home loss vs. an opponent. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Boston. | |||||||
02-04-21 | Rockets v. Grizzlies -1 | Top | 115-103 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). Houston is coming off a 104-87 loss to Oklahoma City just last night and I think it'll have difficulties mustering up the energy to compete here in the second game of the back-to-back scenario. The loss snapped a six-game win streak for the overacheiving Rockets and I think a predictable slide is in the cards now. Especially tonight. Note as well that Houston is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after scoring 90 or less points in a SU/ATS loss in its last outing. I'm banking on the home side taking advantage and to bounce back after its 134-116 loss at the Pacers. Lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-04-21 | Gonzaga -23 v. Pacific | Top | 76-58 | Loss | -119 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga (10* MONEY-MAKER). This game was scheduled at the last minute due to COVID issues and I think the "better" team will be more prepared to lay a beatdown here. Gonzaga is 17-0 on the season and I expect it to make the most of this opportunity and to keep up its pace from start to finish. Most recently the Zags spanked Pepperdine 97-75. Gonzaga averages 94.3 PPG. Pacific enters off a heart-breaking 95-87 double OT loss to BYU and I think it'll struggle to find any energy and focus here vs. this juggernaut. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-04-21 | Predators v. Panthers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Preds/Panthers UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Florida is 5-1 to start the year. Scoring is up around the league again, but the Panthers get the job done with tough defensive play. Nashville has struggled on offense, and been much better on the defensive end. I look for Sergei Bobrosvky to keep this suspect Predators offense in check. This total is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-03-21 | Suns -3 v. Pelicans | Top | 101-123 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns (10* TRADE-MARK). Phoenix is 7-4 on the road this year. New Orleans is 4-5 at home. Phoenix won 111-86 over the Pels earlier in the season and I'm expecting a similar final outcome here as well. Phoenix comes to town on top form, winner of three straight. Most recently Chris Paul and the Suns went on the road and beat the Mavs 109-108, as Paul had 34 points and nine boards. The Pels have been playing terrible of late, as they enter off a 118-109 loss to the Kings, their second straight. The Pelicans are also 0-5 ATS in their last five vs. the Western Conference, while Phoenix is a red hot 11-4 ATS in its last 15 on the road. Look for the Suns "under the radar" defense to play another big part in their solid win/cover here today. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-03-21 | Virginia Tech v. Pittsburgh +3.5 | Top | 72-83 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Pittsburgh is 8-5 this year overall and 4-4 in conference play. The Panthers though come in starving to break a three-game slide after getting stomped 84-58 by the Irish on Saturday. The Hokies are 13-3 and 7-3 in conference play, but after winning two straight, I think they'll have their hands full with this Panthers team that sports almost identical offensive and defensive numbers. This one purely comes down to "motivation" for me and that's for sure Pittsburgh after the three-straight losses. Pittsburgh's at home as well and while I do think the straight-up outright is possible, in the end I'm grabbing the points. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-03-21 | Red Wings v. Lightning OVER 5.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa/Detroit OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Tampa's once again rolling this year, as the Lightning have only lost two games so far this season. On the other end of the spectrum is the Detroit Red Wings, who have only won two games all year. Those two games came at home over the Blackhawks. Detroit has struggled to score goals, but the main culprit has been a league-worst defense. And that obviously doesn't bode well facing the high-scoring Lightning, who have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 11 home games as a favorite in the -185 to -250 points range. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Tampa. | |||||||
02-02-21 | Senators v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -122 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sens/Oilers OVER (10* TRADE-MARK). Ottawa is terrible. The Senators are off an 8-5 loss to these very Oilers here two nights ago. Suffice it to say, I expect a similar final combined score here as well once it's all said and done. Not surprisingly, the Senators are the worst defensive club in the league, conceding 4.89 GPG. And that's bad news for an Oilers team which is averaging 3.45 GPG. Note though that Edmonton has also struggled on the defensive end by allowing 3.73 GPG. Expect both teams to open things back up and for this total to easily eclipse the posted number! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oilers. | |||||||
02-02-21 | Celtics v. Warriors +2.5 | Top | 111-107 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* MONEY-MAKER). Boston is 10-8, while Golden State is 11-9. GS just beat Detroit at home by 27 points. The Celtics enter off a one-point home loss to the Lakers and I think they'll struggle to find focus here in the first game of this Western swing. Boston has in fact lost two in a row. Golden State has had two whole days off to prepare for this one and I think it makes the most of it. Outright is possible, but grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-02-21 | West Virginia -11 v. Iowa State | Top | 76-72 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: WVU (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). The 17th ranked WVU Mountaineers got caught looking past Floriday last time out, losing 85-80. Suffice it to say, I don't expect that to happen again here. WVU faces an Iowa State team which is 5-6 this year and which has failed to cover in three straight. The Cyclones are also a poor 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games, while WVU is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after allowing 85 or more points in SU/ATS loss in its last outing. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-01-21 | Rockets v. Thunder UNDER 224 | Top | 136-106 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Thunder UNDER (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I'm expecting a tightly contested contest between these two Western Conference opponents. Houston is rolling with five straight wins, but all good things have to come to an end. Note that Houston has seen the total go under the number in ten of its last 14 after a four-games or longer SU unbeaten streak. The last thing the hungry Thunder can do is turn this into a shootout and hope to hang with the red hot Rockets. OKC has lost four of its last six, including a 22-point home loss to the Nets in its last outing. OKC ranks 26th in offensive efficiency and Houston ranks 21st. This total is high; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-01-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Canadiens | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -161 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* PUCK-LINE GAME OF THE WEEK). In a contest which I see being decided late or in extra time, I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals. Vancouver started the year 2-5, but it's since won four straight. The Canucks have looked a lot better on the defensie end and I think the oddsmakers are slow in adjusting. The Habs went 0 for 5 on the power play on Saturday in their loss to the Flames. The Canadiens have done better than most thought in the early going, but again let's not overreact to the first two weeks of play. Note that Vancouver is 7-2 in its last nine after a three-games or longer unbeaten streak. Lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
01-31-21 | Cavs -3.5 v. Wolves | Top | 104-109 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cavaliers (10* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams come in on losing streaks. The Cavs are 9-10, while the Wolves are just 4-14. Minnesota has lost three in a row. Andre Drummond will be hoping for a trade at some point from Cleveland, but in the early going he's been dominating, averaging 18.1 points, 14.7 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.7 steals per game. The Cavs have been tremendous defensively this year, allowing just 108.6 PPG. The Wolves are dealing with COVID and injury issues, and thus they've been unable to compete on most nights. Their defense is horrible and I can't see them matching up against the red hot Drummond whatsoever. The Wolves are also just 10-22 ATS in their last 32 following a loss, while Cleveland is 5-1 ATS in its last six after losing by double-digits. Look for the Cavaliers to take advantage; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-31-21 | Blue Jackets v. Blackhawks OVER 5.5 | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jackets/Hawks OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Columbus won 2-1 here two nights ago, one night after beating Florida 3-2 in a shootout. The Jackets have won three of their last four and they'll now look to keep the foot on the gas here against the defensively challenged Blackhawks, who have had three different goaltenders between the pipes already this season. Neither team has been great offensively so far this year, but after the low-scoring first contest, we can expect each team to open up the playbook this evening. I'll point out as well that Chicago has seen the total go over the number in seven of its last ten after in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which it scored one or no goals in. The play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Columbus. | |||||||
01-31-21 | SMU v. Houston -10 | Top | 48-70 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). SMU held on for a 67-65 win over Memphis last time out, but I expect it to have a much more difficult time here. Houston enters off an 83-60 win over Tulane and I expect a similar final discrepany when the final buzzer sounds in this one as well. Houston won this game 74-60 in early January and I expect an even bigger beatdown here. The Mustangs average 77.5 PPG, while allowing 67.5. The Cougars have won seven straight though, as they average 74.4 PPG, while allowing just 56.5. Look for Houston's superior defense to be the difference-maker here and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-30-21 | Canucks +119 v. Jets | Top | 4-1 | Win | 119 | 13 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* TRADE-MARK). Vancouver is on a roll and I like the Canucks to keep the momentum rolling here. Overall Vancouver enters having won three in a row. All three victories came against the Senators, but the Canucks have definitely looked better over that stretch and I expect that to continue here. Winnipeg has won four of its last five. Overall the Canucks average 3.85 GPG, while allowing 3.65. Winnipeg is averaging 3.56 GPG, while allowing 3.00. This is a great spot to pull the trigger on the slight underdog upset here, as note that the Canucks are 7-2 in their last nine road games following a three games or longer unbeaten streak. Great value on the Canucks! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks. | |||||||
01-30-21 | Blazers +2.5 v. Bulls | Top | 123-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* MONEY-MAKER). After two straight road losses, I like the Blazers to bounce back here in this favorable spot. The Bulls' three-game win streak is in the rear-view mirror now after two-straight losses and I think that Chicago is ripe for the picking here for this determined and "better" Western Conference side. Also note that this is a revenge game for Portland after a 3-point home loss to Chicago earlier in the month. These team's numbers are similar, but note that the Bulls are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after a two-games or longer SU losing streak, while Portland is 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent. While the outright is obviously possible, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-29-21 | Kings v. Raptors UNDER 229.5 | Top | 126-124 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Raptors/Kings UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). While the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe this will be a shootout, I don't see it that way at all. Toronto is just 7-11 and it's on a two-game losing streak after falling 115-108 to the Bucks. Sacramento is 7-10 after beating the Magic 121-107 on Wednesday, its second-straight victory. Sacramento has been terrible defensively this year, but just in the last two games it's taken big strides in that department. And while the Raptors have been dealing with offensive inconsistency, their defense continues to be a strength by conceding just 109.5 PPG. When you add up these teams two offensive averages, you get just under 223 PPG. Look for these improved defenses to take center stage tonight; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-28-21 | New Mexico v. Fresno State -6.5 | Top | 62-64 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Fresno State (10* MONEY-MAKER). New Mexico is just 5-9, most recently falling by 12 to SJSU. Fresno State is coming off a 22 point loss to Boise State to fall to 5-6. However, the Bulldogs have been better at home and the Broncos are one of the best teams in the nation. Here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against, as the Lobos just allowed 83 points to a pretty mediocre SJSU team. Orlando Robinson is a force to be reckoned with, he averages 17.5 PPG for Fresno State and note that the Bulldogs are near-perfect 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games following three or more consecutive road games. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-28-21 | Blazers +4.5 v. Rockets | Top | 101-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Rockets have looked better of late with Victor Oladlipo and John Wall playing well. However, I think that the home side has a letdown here against this determined Blazers side. The Blazers are having to adjust to not having CJ McCollum in the line-up, but I think Portland comes out firing here after falling 125-122 at home to the Thunder. Christian Wood is the leading scorer for the Rockets right now. I think Damian Lillard helps will his team to a victory here. That said, I'll be grabbing the points, as note that the Blazers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight after allowing 125 points or more in a SU/ATS home loss in their previous outing; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-28-21 | Panthers v. Blue Jackets -108 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Columbus lost to the Panthers 4-3 in extra time two nights ago, so revenge is definitely on the mind of the Jackets. Columbus is just 2-6 so far this year and it has an extended road trip after this, starting in Chicago tomorrow night. After a sharp 3-0 start to the season, it's difficult to say anything negative about the Panthers, so I won't bother. I simply feel this sets up as a letdown spot and I like the Jackets to cash at what I think is a truly fantastic price! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Jackets. | |||||||
01-27-21 | Mavs +4 v. Jazz | Top | 104-116 | Loss | -106 | 28 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* GAME OF THE YEAR). I think this is a fantastic situational play here, as Utah comes in off a 108-94 win over the Knicks just last night. Dallas won't be lacking for motivation here after its 117-113 home loss to Denver in its most recent action. The Mavericks have actually now lost two straight, so their resolve and focus does not have to be questioned here. Overall it's been a disappointing start for Dallas, but that's been in part to some early injuries and COVID related issues. Utah's been great over the last two weeks, but all good things do come to an end. This is a bad spot for Utah, one which I would consider a "trap." They got past the Knicks last night, but now they face a conference opponent that's been underachieving and which is desperate to break a two-game slide. Additionally note that the Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last five when playing the second game of a back-to-back, while the Mavericks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven on the road. Look for fatigue and complacency to be Utah's downfall here. Obviously the outright is possible, but let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 113-112 Dallas. | |||||||
01-27-21 | Senators v. Canucks -145 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 27 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* TRADE-MARK). The Canucks destoryed the Senators 7-1 here two nights ago and I expect another decisive vicotry for the home side in this second matchup as well. The Senators lack offensive punch and if they get down early, then they're forced to play from behind, which means pushing things on the offensive end, which invariably leaves them open on the backend. Vancouver advanced to the second round of the playoffs last year, getting by Minnesota and while it lost some talent, its core group on offense remains. The biggest knock on the Canucks early is their goaltending and defensive play, but they have a big opportunity to improve their numbers here vs. this poor Sens' offense. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value." T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
01-26-21 | Knicks v. Jazz -11 | Top | 94-108 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jazz (10* TRADE-MARK). New York is 8-10, most recently coming off a loss at Portland, allowing 116 points in the setback. New York has been great defensively in the early going, but the loss to the Blazers is a bit of foreshadowing here in my opinion vs. the red hot Jazz, who enter having won eight straight and who won't want to take the foot off the gas now with Dallas coming to town tomorrow night. The Jazz are dominating on both ends of the floor and I like the home side to make an example of this young Knicks team, who admittedly has done better than I thought it would at the start here. One last thing, note that Utah is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after a four-games or longer unbeaten streak. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-26-21 | Red Wings v. Stars -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Stars (10* PUCK-LINE MONEY-MAKER). Who saw the Stars coming out flying and crushing the Predators in two straight games after having the start of their season delayed by COVID issues? Not me. Detroit is now just 2-4-0 this year and I think it'll have its hands full trying to slow down this deep and talented home side. Detroit has managed just 2.00 GPG on 26.2 shots this season, while conceding 2.74 goals. Dallas is putting up 25 shots on net, while averaging 5.00 GPG. It's also 6-2 in its last eight vs. clubs with teams below .600. Detroit on the other hand is just 27-68 in its last 95 vs. teams with winning records. Look for Dallas to not only win this game, but win it by a huge margin. The play is Dallas on the PUCK LINE. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Dallas. | |||||||
01-26-21 | Mississippi State v. Tennessee -9.5 | Top | 53-56 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee (10* SEC GAME OF THE YEAR). It's all hands on deck for 18th ranked Tennessee, which comes into this one having lost two straight, most recently a 73-64 setback to Missouri. The Bulldogs come in off a solid cover, but an overall SU 81-73 loss to Alabama on Saturday. The Bulldogs have lost two in a row as well. The Bulldogs give up only 67.1 PPG, but the Vols come in hungry to reverse their fortunes here. Tennessee is on an entirely different level defensively though, as despite back-to-back losses, it's still eighth in the country by conceding only 59.8 PPG. Jaden Springer could be out of the line-up again tonight, but it's not going to matter in my opinion. This one has "blowout" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-25-21 | Senators v. Canucks -149 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Both teams have been terrible. This is the proverbial "Cellar Dwellers" facing off here in the North Conference. Both teams can pin their troubles on poor goaltending and defensive play. Vancouver's offense has been better than Ottawa's though. The Canucks just went 1-2 in their series vs. Montreal, but they have a big advantage here by staying at home and facing the lowly Senators, who enter off three straight losses against the Jets, the last coming in Winnipeg itself after dropping two in a row at home. This is the perfect opponent for Vancouver to get untracked against - I'm laying the price! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
01-25-21 | Oklahoma State v. Iowa State +2.5 | Top | 81-60 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State (10* TRADE-MARK). Oklahoma State at 9-4 is about to lay a proverbial egg here in my opinion. The Cowboys have split their last eight games, they enter averaging 76.2 PPG, while allowing 71.6. The Cylones are the hungrier team for sure though as they look to snap a three-game slide. Iowa State averages 68.4 PPG, while conceding 74.8. The Cyclones though are a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in their last eight after a three-games or longer SU/ATS losing streak. The extra time off between games is going to be beneficial for the home side and while the outright is possible, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-25-21 | Hornets v. Magic OVER 213 | Top | 108-117 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: OVER Hornets/Magic (10*). These two tams played to a tight, lower-scoring game last night, but I'm expecting Orlando to be very motivated here after losing eight of its last nine. I have a pick on Orlando on the side here as well as part of my three-game report and to correlate along with that pick, I absolutely expect a better offensive performance from both teams as they get out and open things up in transition. This number is indeed a tad low! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Sharks v. Wild -148 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -148 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wild (10* TRADE-MARK). Minnesota won the first game 4-1 two nights ago and I expect a similar final outcome here as well. This is the sixth game of an eight-game road trip for San Jose to open up the year and I think its running out of gas now for sure. Cam Talbot and Kaapo Kahkonen are difference-makers in net for Minnesota as well. It's very interesting to note as well that the Sharks are 2-8 in their last ten when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. Look for Minnesota to deliver in this favorable matchup, at this favorable mid-sized price! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Wild. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Hornets v. Magic -1.5 | Top | 107-104 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10* MONEY-MAKER). After a decent start to the season, the Hornets have now lost four in a row and I think that slide continues another night. Most recently the Hornets fell 123-110 to the Bulls. Orlando won't be lacking for motivation either as it's 7-9 and it's lost seven of its last eight. With a spread like this, the oddsmakers are trying their best to lead us to believe that these teams are evenly matched. I think they likely are, but the home-court advantage simply can't be overlooked here in my opinion, as note that the Magic are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games after three or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row. Lay the short points, but expect a decisive rout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -3 | Top | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 53 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs (10* GAME OF THE YEAR). With Patrick Mahomes playing, I think the home side is going to find a way to get the job done here. These team's met in Week 6 and the Chiefs pulled out the 23-16 victory. I expect a few more points to be scored here, but I do think we'll see an even bigger points discrepancy. The Bills won with their tough defensive play last weekend in a 17-3 victory over the Ravens, but that was on a chilly day at home. Overall Buffalo's defense has been its weak point this year and I think that's finally going to come back to haunt it, as the Chiefs have the offense to keep up with this high-octane Bills' offense. Experience at this level is crucial and the Chiefs and Andy Reid are light years ahead of their counterparts in that regard. I'm banking on Mahomes delivering an MVP performance and putting Allen in his place; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Fordham v. Rhode Island -17 | Top | 42-52 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rhode Island (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Rhode Island won this game 76-75 last year, but I'm expecting a much bigger victory today. Fordham enters this game as the lowest scoring team in the country, averaging only 51 PPG this season. Rhode Island is already 4-1 when playing in Kingston. Note that Rhode Island is also 5-1 ATS in its last six as a home favorite in the -16.5 to -19.5 points range as well. This is a major mismatch in every respect and I expect a blowout of epic proportions! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Lakers v. Bulls OVER 227.5 | Top | 101-90 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Lakers somehow managed to lose at home to the Warriors, but they then bounced back with a big road win Milwaukee to kick off their current Eastern swing. I believe that LBJ and company will be able to run up the score here against this poor Bulls defense. LA posted 117 points at home vs. the Bulls earlier this month, with five different Lakers scoring in double figures. The Bulls are averaging 117 PPG this year, but unfortunately they've conceded 120 or more points in three of their last four games. I'm banking on these offensive numbers continuing to shine and I expect this total to fly over sooner, rather than later; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Crotone v. Fiorentina -125 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 121 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: ACF Fiorentina (10* SERIES A GAME OF THE MONTH). Both teams have been struggling, but I think this is one that favors Fiorentina. Fiorentina will be especially motivated here to atone for a 6-0 loss in Naples. Note that 13 of its 18 points this year have come on home turf though. Crotone enters off a 4-1 win over Benevento, and an immediate return to mediocrity is definitely in the cards here in my opinion. Expect Fiorentina to respond after that freak loss last time out and lay this reasonable mid-sized price with confidence! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Thunder v. Clippers UNDER 220.5 | Top | 106-120 | Loss | -108 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Thunder UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Thunder enter off a 119-101 loss to Denver on Tuesday. After winning three straight, the Thunder have now lost three of their last four. LA is now trending in the other direction, as it comes in off a commanding 115-96 win over the Kings on Wednesday. That doesn't bode well for this Thunder offense, which enters averaging just 105.6 PPG. LA has an underrated defense as well, which concedes just 108.6 PPG. Look for the home side to clamp down and control this one and for this total to ultimately stay well under once the final horn blares! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Louisiana Tech v. UTEP OVER 136 | Top | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UTEP/LA Tech OVER (10*). Louisiana Tech is 11-4, averaging 73.8 PPG, and allowing 66.8. UTEP will be desperate here as it looks to break a three-game slide. I always like betting "overs" with motivated teams and both clearly are. The Miners average 72.6 PPG and they allowing 70.3, but note that UTEP has seen the total soar over in eight of its last 12 after three or more SU losses in a row. Considering the situation and these trends, I do indeed feel this number is a tad low; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Sabres v. Capitals +120 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 120 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Capitals (10* BLOWOUT BEST OF THE BEST). Washington comes in having lost two straight, the first game in OT to the Pens and then in a shootout to Pittsburgh. In the most recent loss to the Pens Tom Wilson scored twice and Lars Eller and Evgeny Kuznetsov also found the back of the net. Washington will be without a few key pieces due to COVID protocol, including Alexander Ovechkin, and that's the reason why this price has swung so dramatically. The Sabres play with "double revenge" after losing the first two games of this season at home to the Capitals, but they're just 1-3 and in no position to take advantage here. Despite Washington being down those key players, it's still the better team here in my opinion. Often in cases like this where main players go down, the rest of the team will step up in that first game and that's going to be the case here in my opinion. Also note that Washington is still 15-6 in its last 21 vs. a team with a winning percentage below .400. Look for the home side to dig deep and find a way to get the job done! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Washington. | |||||||
01-21-21 | Lakers v. Bucks OVER 227.5 | Top | 113-106 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers/Bucks OVER (10* NON-CONF TOTAL OF YEAR). The Lakers are going to be highly motivated here. They're 11-4 on the year, but they're coming off a 115-113 home loss to Golden State, clearly getting caught looking ahead to their Eastern road swing, starting in Milwaukee this evening. The Bucks will also be extra-motivated here as well after a 125-123 road loss to Brooklyn in their latest action. The Bucks are conceding 110.7 PPG. The Lakers are allowing 105.1, but they allowed 115 in their last contest and I think they'll have their hands full here with this focussed Bucks team. Expect these highly-skilled teams to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-21-21 | Jets -122 v. Senators | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jets (10* TRADE-MARK). Winnipeg has won two of three after taking the first game off the Senators in OT. The Jets turn to Connor Hellebuyck in net, he lost 3-1 to the Leafs in his last outing, allowing two goals on 37 shots. Matt Murray allowed four goals on 28 shots to the Jets and I think the home side is overmatched once again tonight. Finally note that Ottawa is a poor 2-9 in its last 11 vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600, while the Jets are 5-1 in their last six vs. a club with a losing record. All things considered, this is the very definition of "great line value." Play on the Jets! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Jets. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Canadiens v. Canucks +110 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 110 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). Montreal has done well to open up the year, but I think that Vancouver will find a way to get the job done here in the opener of this three-game series. MOntreal has plenty of talent up front and in the back. So too does Vancouver and after losing three in a row, the Canucks are for sure the much hungrier team in this fight. Vancouver has to be feeling confident though, as it's performed well in this spot (especially for bettors!), going 7-0 in its last seven vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600 and 9-4 in its last 13 when playing on one days rest. Conversely, the Habs have done poorly in this position by going just 3-7 in their last ten after allowing two or less goals in their previous outing. In my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value; the play is the Canucks! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Tulsa v. Houston -11.5 | Top | 59-86 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston (10* TRADE-MARK). The Houston Cougars are 11-1 overall and 6-1 in league action. Tulsa is 8-4, and 5-2 in AAC play. Houston's only lost one game, and that was to the Golden Hurricane a couple weeks ago. They say "revenge is a dish best served cold" and suffice it to say, I expect a frozen slap to the head here by the Cougars tonight. Since the loss to Tulsa though, Houston has won four in a row and it comes in now ready to lay a beating. Tulsa on the other hand looks primed for a letdown here after squeaking by Memphis 58-57 last time out. Expect the better, revenge-minded home side to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Vinicius Moreira +120 v. Ike Villanueva | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 49 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vinicius Moreira (10* PLAY OF THE WEEK). Ike Villaneuva is 17-11 andhe's struggled, by losing four in a row. Vinicius Moreira is 9-4 and he can empathize, as he hasn't won since 2018. These are two fighters who will be swinging for the fences, looking to extend their careers at least one more fight after this. Moreira though is definitely the better wrestler and grappler and because Villaneuva lack KO power at this point of his career, I believe that will ultimately prove to be the difference in the end. Great value on Moreira here in my opinion. T.M. Prediction: KO/DECISION/SUB/TKO | |||||||
01-19-21 | Thunder v. Nuggets UNDER 221 | Top | 101-119 | Win | 100 | 14 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Thunder UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). While only 6-6, the Thunder are actually 5-1 on the road. However, off a 127-125 OT win over the Bulls, I think they'll be predictably "gassed" here. The Nuggets have been a disapointment so far, sitting at 6-7 overall, most recently off a 109-105 loss to the Jazz. The Nuggets catch a break here though, as OKC is still only averaging 106 PPG. These are two teams in dire need of a victory and I expect each to play to a tight, lower-scoring defensive battle. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-19-21 | Capitals v. Penguins OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 102 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penguins/Capitals OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The Penguins have played to three straight "overs." They came out flat and lost their first two games to the Flyers, but they then dug deep and beat Washington 4-3 in OT in the first game between these hated rivals. Washington is now 2-1, as it took two straight in Buffalo to open. The Caps have seen the total go 2-1 to the over so far and I expect another high-scoring affair here as well. Both teams are going through major transition in net, and note that the Capitals have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 12 road games off an OT road loss in which they allowed four or more goals in. This one has "o-v-e-r" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-19-21 | Akron v. Bowling Green -5.5 | Top | 69-57 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bowling Green (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Akron has already had more than a few games cancelled due to COVID. The Zips are 5-3, averaging 79.8 PPG, while allowing 72.13. Bowling Green is 10-3 oerall and 6-1 in conference action. The Green Falcons are averaging 81.62 PPG, while conceding 73.31. We're coming down the home stretch of the regular season and there's no way the Green Falcons are taking the foot off the gas at home in this favorable spot. I expect a lop-sided blowout once the final horn blares, so lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Warriors +9 v. Lakers | Top | 115-113 | Win | 100 | 14 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Am I predicting an outright upset here? I'm not. But I do think this one sets up really well for the visiting side. The Lakers have covered in four straight, but with a couple of nights off before a seven-game road trip, starting in Milwaukee on Thursday, this absolutely sets up as a classic "look-ahead" spot for the home side. Granted, Golden State has been "hit or miss" this year, but note that it's 7-2 ATS in its last nine road game after playing with two or more days of rest. No outright, but closer than this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-18-21 | New Mexico v. UNLV UNDER 139 | Top | 46-53 | Win | 100 | 14 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNLV/New Mexico UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). New Mexico is just 4-7 overall, while UNLV is 3-6. Neither team has gotten out to the start it had hoped for this year, but I expect that to translate into a scrappy, and ultimately defensive affair here as each desperately tries to secure a victory. UNLV scored the 77-54 win over New Mexico on Saturday, and I expect a similar final combined score here as well. Note that the under is 8-1-1 the last ten road games for New Mexico as well. Considering all of the above situational information, I do indeed feel this total is too high; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Wolves v. Hawks OVER 227.5 | Top | 97-108 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/T-Wolves OVER (10* TRADE-MARK). It's all hands on deck now for the Wolves after big man Karl Anthony Towns announced he'll be out for a while with COVID 19. Minnesota has played poorly this year, losing seven of eight. Minnesota won't be lacking for motivation here and now they face a poor Hawks defense. Atlanta has lost two straight, so it'll be highly motivated as well to take advantage of this poor Wolves' defense. It's a perfect situational opportunity, as each team has a poor defense, and each team is absolutely desperate for a victory here. And the fact that they're non-conference opponents as well helps, as they aren't rivals and the game-play will be more wide-open. This one has "shootout" written all over it. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Pacers +6 v. Clippers | Top | 96-129 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pacers have won two straight and I expect them to at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. Indiana comes to LA refreshed as well, as its last game was postponed due to COVID issues. Overall Indiana is averaging 114.3 PPG, while conceding 108.2. The Clippers on the other hand are averaging 113.8 PPG, while allowing 109.6. This one really sets up well for the Pacers, as I expect the Clippers to get caught flat here as they get two nights off after this, before a "cream puff" against the Kings. In a contest which I see coming down to whichever of these talented and deep teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Blackhawks v. Panthers -148 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Panthers (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Chicago just got destroyed in two games in Tampa, and now it travels to face a Panthers team which sees its first action of the season. The Blackhawks are dealing with injury issues right now, most notably to Jon Toews, which is obviously big for this overall younger and rebuilding Chicago team. Dallas had a COVID outbreak, so now the Panthers finally get to take the ice. Note that Florida is 5-1 in its last six vs. teams with a winning percentage below .600. The Blackhawks are also just 1-6 in their last seven now as an underdog. Even without top goaltender Sergei Bobrvosky in net, I like the home side to dig deep here and deliver; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Panthers. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Bucs v. Saints OVER 51.5 | Top | 30-20 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Saints/Bucs OVER (10* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST). If you're wagering on this contest, then you already are well aware of each team's strengths and weaknesses. You also know the cast of characters on each side. New Orleans did win both regular season games over Tampa, and each game went under the number. Suffice it to say, I expect that trend to get blown out of the water here today, as I look for Drew Brees and Tom Brady to engage in an old fashioned shootout for sure. This could be Brees's last game ever, as he's intimated that he'll retire at the end of the season. And for Brady, he's out for double-revenge and for greater overall glory to his own story. Two pretty good defenses, but the overall situation points to a classic "shootout" in my opinion; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Memphis -124 v. Tulsa | Top | 57-58 | Loss | -124 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Memphis hasn't played since late December, holding on for a tougher than expected 58-57 win over South Florida. The Tigers face a 7-4 Tulsa team which just had a four-game win streak snapped in a humbling 72-53 setback to Wichita State on Wednesday. This is a revenge game for Memphis as well after it fell 56-49 to the Golden Hurricane at home last year. These team's offensive and defensive numbers are similar, but the longer layoff will help the Tigers in my opinion. Conversely, after their first loss in almost a month, I think the Golden Hurricanes are primed for a classic letdown in this spot. I'm banking on the "better" team securing an outright here. T.M. Prediction: 78-63 Memphis | |||||||
01-16-21 | Tennessee State v. Tennessee Tech +1 | Top | 71-74 | Win | 100 | 15 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee Tech (10* MID-MAJOR GAME OF YEAR). A couple of terrible teams collide in this one, but it's a matchup which I think that Tennessee Tech will finally step up in and take advantage of. Tennessee State is just 2-7 so far this season, including only 1-4 in its last five. Tennessee Tech is the hungrier team though at just 1-13. The Golden Eagles though have played more games and faced stiffer competition. Not trying to say their a good team that's fallen on some bad luck, but I'll point out that they're 3-1-1 ATS in their lasr five overall. The Tigers on the other hand are a miserable 1-7 ATS in their last eight on the road and only 1-4 ATS in their last five after a SU loss. As I said, considering everything listed above, this one favors the Eagles! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Ravens v. Bills -135 | Top | 3-17 | Win | 100 | 79 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bills MONEY LINE (10*). Is LaMar Jackson better than Josh Allen? I don't think so anymore. Allen has come into his own and he fits in fantastically with this Bills offense. The Ravens have been hot of late, but other than the win over the Titans last week (a dual revenge scenario after losing to them this season and of course in the playoffs last year), they haven't played very many difficult teams. But now they face a red hot Bills team and note that Jackson has never played in the snow in his career. Allen on the other hand played his entire College career in inclement weather, so he's completely accustomed to it. I think the Bills advance here and find a way at home; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Blue Jackets v. Predators UNDER 5.5 | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jackets/Preds UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Columbus lost this game 3-1 on Thursday and I expect a similar hard-fought and lower-scoring affair here as well. Columbus was one of the best defensive teams last year, but it struggled offensively, tied for fourth-fewest in the league. The Jackets had 30 pucks on net in that opening game, but managed only the one goal. Nashville's Juuse Saros stopped 29 of 30 shots for the Predators. While Nashville scored the victory in its opener, note that it's seen the total go under the number in eight of its last 11 home games after holding its previous opponent to one or less goals in a victory. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Robert Morris v. Illinois-Chicago -3 | Top | 53-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois Chicago (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). After being on the road for over a month, the Flames return home for the first time in a long time and I expect them to make the most of it here. Here's the perfect opponent as well, vs. newcomer Robert Morris. One player to keep your eyes on today is Teyvion Kirk for the home side, as he posted the third triple-double in UIC history in the Flames' victory over Oakland on Dec. 20th. Robert Morris is overmatched on the road here against a team happy to be in friendly confines. I'm laying the short points and expecting a big rout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Mavs +6.5 v. Bucks | Top | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams enter on top form. Honestly, it wouldn't be too difficult to write a convincing argument for either of these team's to cover this contest. Kristaps Porzingis returned to the line-up for Dallas in its win at Charlotte last time out. The Bucks come in on a win skein as well, but I think that the scheduling favors Dallas, as Milwaukee plays at Brooklyn next, followed the defending champion Lakers after that. It's a classic look-ahead spot for the Bucks, who I think will take the foot off the gas in the second half. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Blackhawks v. Lightning OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 109 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Hawks OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF ELITE). Chicago lost 5-1 in this game two nights ago. The Blackhawks are opening up the year without Jon Toews in the line-up. They also have a trio of rotating goaltenders. Chicago is going to struggle again in containing the defending champs, who got better as the game progressed. Now that the Bolts have their legs underneath them, I look for them to pour it on again here from start to finish. That said, I expect a better overall effort from the Hawks as well. This one has "OVER" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Lightning. | |||||||
01-14-21 | Pacers v. Blazers -1.5 | Top | 111-87 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Indiana lost to Sacramento to open up its five-game swing, but then pulled away for a nine-point win against the Warriors the following night. With two more high-profile games upcoming at Phoenix and the Clippers on back-to-back nights, I think Indiana gets caught flat-footed in the Pacific Northwest tonight. The Blazers return home off a successful 132-126 victory in Sacramento and I like this home side team to keep the momentum rolling here. I don't think fatigue is a factor whatsoever, as we're still just at the start of the season. For all the reasons listed above, lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-14-21 | San Francisco v. Portland +13 | Top | 79-63 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). San Francisco is 8-6 overall and 2-2 in WCC play. Portland is 6-5, but 0-2 in league action. The Dons enter off a 68-60 loss to Loyola Marymount. The Pilots play with revenge here against San Francisco after losing earlier in the year. They also enter focussed after a three-game losing streak, most recently falling 116-88 to Gonzaga. San Fran averages 74.4 PPG, while allowing 68.6, while Portland has allowed 80.5 PPG. That defensive number is skewed though because of the level of competition the last two games. Note that the Dons are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games as well. I like Portland to keep this one close at home and while I'll stop short in calling for the outright, everything points to this one big a classic nail-biter; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-13-21 | Pelicans v. Clippers -6 | Top | 106-111 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers (10* BLOWOUT BEST OF THE BEST). The Clippers are healthy. LA is coming off a 137-134 win over the Bulls. It was a more difficult than expected victory, as Chicago came to town with several players on the injured/COVID list. Regardless, LA got huge production from both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and now the role players have an opporunity to step up here against this young and inconsistent Pelicans side. New Orleans ranks 18th in the league in defensive efficiency and while they'll break out of their current three-game slide at some point, I don't think that'll be here in this difficult road building. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-13-21 | Texas Tech v. Texas OVER 133.5 | Top | 79-77 | Win | 100 | 13 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas/Texas Tech OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). This has all the makings of a great game. Suffice it to say, I'm expecting a "shootout," not a "chess match." Texas Tech averages 75.54 PPG, while it allows 58. Texas averages 75.64 PPG, while allowing 63.73. I think that the Longhorns though will be out to get the Red Raiders out of their comfort zone, and that means playing at as high a tempo as possible. I look for these talented offenses to explode in the second half; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-13-21 | Penguins v. Flyers OVER 6 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 104 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pens/Flyes OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). These are two teams which enter the season with big expectations. The Penguins have a new starting goaltender this year in Tristan Jarry. The Pens have a top-heavy roster, but on Opening night, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin will have fresh legs under them and will be able to log the majority of the quality minutes. Carter Hart is a great goaltender, but the Flyers are also stacked offensively with goal scorers like Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier. Look for this total to fly over the number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-12-21 | Spurs v. Thunder UNDER 217.5 | Top | 112-102 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs/OKC UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). San Antonio had its three-game win streak broken with a 96-88 loss to the Wolves on Sunday. The Thunder started out slow, but they enter having won three straight, most recently a 129-116 victory over the undermanned Nets. If the Spurs are going to have success here and bounce back, they're going to run their offense through big man LaMarcus Aldridge, who is returning to form, averaging almost 16 PPG. DeMar DeRozan missed the last game and he's likely out for this one too, so that means that Pop will definitely be running this offense off the post today to try and slow down the high-flying Thunder. OKC's defense is underrated as well, holding opponents to just 45.6 percent shooting from the floor and 34.4 percent from range. This humber is high; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-12-21 | TCU v. Oklahoma -7.5 | Top | 46-82 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma (10* MONEY-MAKER). TCU has dropped back-to-back games by double-digits to Kansas and Baylor. Oklahoma enters off a slim loss to Kansas as well, but it was playing without the services of Brady Manek and Jalen Hill. Both will be out here as well, but the fact that the Sooners took the Jayhawks down to the wire without them in the line-up is a real testament to how deep this Oklahoma team really is. TCU is decent, but not great. It's ranked 84th in defensive effeciency and 90th in defensive efficiency. Oklahoma on the other hand has the 24th ranked offense and 60th ranked defense. Look for the home side to put the foot on the gas from start to finish and pull away for the comfortable cover! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-11-21 | Raptors v. Blazers -4.5 | Top | 111-112 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Here's a great situational spot for Portland, which catches the Raptors off a tight 106-105 loss at Golden State just last night. Toronto is staggering this year and after last night's "near miss," I expect a predictable letdown here. The Blazers enter on fire, having won two straight while posting 260 points in the process. All signs point to a comfortable home side destruction; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-11-21 | Boise State v. Wyoming +8.5 | Top | 83-60 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). These teams play today, and then again on Wednesday. Boise State has obviously been fantastic in the early going with a 10-1 overall record. Overall the Broncos allow 81 PPG, while conceding 61.27. Wyoming is no push over though at 7-2. The Cowboys average 82 PPG, while allowing 75. I don't think that the home floor advantage can be overlooked here though and while I'm stopping short in calling for the upset, I'll grab the points as I expect this one to come right down to the wire! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-11-21 | Ohio State v. Alabama OVER 74 | Top | 24-52 | Win | 100 | 195 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buckeyes/Bama OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). Two elite quarterbacks who are looking to put on a show for the World go head to head in this one. These two teams were easily the best two teams in the nation this year, but one big difference from season's past for each side is that it's defense isn't quite as elite as it's been before. Both teams are susceptible to giving up the big pass, in fact Bama is ranked 78th in the country vs. the pass. OSU just posted a huge victory over a really good Clemson defense as well. I expect a faster paced and ultimatley higher-scoring contest in the final NCAAF game of the season; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 45-37 Bama. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Browns v. Steelers OVER 47 | Top | 48-37 | Win | 100 | 53 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Steelers/Browns OVER (10*). There's no love loss between these two teams. Cleveland is going to have to do what it does best if it's going to pull off an upset today, and that's play at a very high-pace when on offense. These teams both have decent defenses, but each unit struggled with consistency down the stretch. I expect Ben Roethlisberger and Baker Mayfield to be the main storylines in tomorrow's summaries; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Maryland v. Illinois -10 | Top | 66-63 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Terps are bad, going just 1-3 this season vs. ranked teams. Most recently Maryland fell 89-67 to Iowa. The Illini on the other hand enter off a commanding 81-56 victory over Northwestern and I like them to continue to build momentum here as well in this favorable matchup. Maryland averages 72.2 PPG, while allowing 68.5. Illinois is out for a fifth straight win. The Illini average 85 PPG, while conceding only 67.9. Look for Illinois superior play on both ends of the court help it to pull away in the closing moments; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Jazz -7.5 v. Pistons | Top | 96-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jazz (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Jazz just steamrolled the Bucks by 13 on the road and I like this deep and talented visiting side to keep the momentum rolling on the road here. The Jazz poured in 131 points and set a franchise-record with 25 three-point shots made. The Pistons are under-manned and consistency from game to game is an issue. Detroit is also facing a Jazz team which is 6-1 ATS in its last seven vs. clubs with losing records. This is a major mismatch for Detroit and I like Utah to take advantage; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Bucs v. Washington Football Team UNDER 44.5 | Top | 31-23 | Loss | -104 | 29 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa/WFT UNDER (10*). Two aging QB's with something to prove, but the winner of this contest will be the team which can establish the run and win the turnover battle. These are two of the best defenses in the league and I expect them to be the main storylines in tomorrow's summaries. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Hawks -5 v. Hornets | Top | 105-113 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (10* MONEY-MAKER). I base my picks on many things. Charlotte just beat the Hawks 102-94 on Thursday, setting this up as a big time revenge game for ATL, which comes in very hungry here after three-straight losses. The Hornets came from behind to knock off the Pelicans on the road last night and I think a predictable letdown is in the cards for sure here for the home side. Note as well that ATL is 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which it was held to 100 points or fewer in. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Georgetown v. Syracuse -10 | Top | 69-74 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Georgetown is off to a 3-7 start. Syracuse is 6-2 overall, but just 1-1 in ACC action. I think the Orange come in focused here as they look to improve their record in this favorable matchup on their home floor. Georgetown enters off a poor 63-55 loss to Butler, shooting a terrible 33.9 percent from the floor. Syracuse will be especially motivated here after losing 63-60 to Pittsburgh at home in its last outing, after previously averaging 101 points in two of three games prior. Note as well that the Orange are 7-0 ATS in their last seven following an ATS loss, while the Hoyas are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven vs. a team with a winning straight-up record. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-08-21 | Bulls v. Lakers -9 | Top | 115-117 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers (10* BLOWOUT ELITE OF THE ELITE). The Bulls somehow managed to upset the Blazers on the road without the services of Lauri Markkanen, Tomas Satoransky, Chandler Hutchison and Ryan Arcidiacono, all who are out for protocal reasons. Chicago then lost a nail-biter in Sacramento. The Lakers lost to the Spurs at home just last night and I think they'll come in focussed here now as they look to avoid the back-to-back losses on their own floor. Chicago is overmatched here, and it faces a Lakers team playing with a chip on its shoulder. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 122-105 Lakers. |
