02-21-21 | Evansville v. Drake OVER 133.5 | 71-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Drake/Evansville OVER (8*). Evansville is 8-12 and Drake is 21-2. The Aces enter off an 87-73 loss to Indiana State. Overall the Purple Aces average 64.5 PPG, while conceding 68.8. Drake enters off a 77-69 win over Northern Iowa. The Bulldogs average 78.7 PPG, while conceding 63.4. Interesting to note that Evansville has seen the total go over in its last six road games though and I expect that strong trend to continue here. Look for Drake to push the pace and expect this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-20-21 | California v. Washington OVER 140 | 51-62 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington/Cal OVER (8*). Cal has dropped its last four road games. In fact, both teams have lost four of their last five. Each struggles with offensive consistency, and each is poor on the defensive end. I expect a wide open game here though, and ultimately I expect that to translate into offensive production on the court. Note that when these teams played in January, the total was set at 133 and they combined to score 162. Both defenses allow over 70 PPG and 14 of Cal's 24 games have gone over the number; this one has "o-v-e-r" written all over it! 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 | Pistons v. Grizzlies UNDER 222 | 95-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Pistons UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Pistons are only 8-20, while the Grizzlies are 12-12. Memphis comes in off a 122-113 win over the Thunder on Wednesday. Both teams allow right around 112 PPG, but each has been consistently inconsistent on the offensive end. I believe each team will create offense through its tough defensive play today in this non-conference matchup. Detroit is the third-slowed paced team with 97.6 possessions per game, while Memphis is ranked 13th with 99.8 possessions. Memphis has seen the total go under in 22 of is last 29 at home and I look for that strong pattern to continue; the play is the under! 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 | 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. | |||||||
02-15-21 | 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. | |||||||
02-14-21 | 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 | 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. | |||||||
02-13-21 | Pacers v. Hawks UNDER 226.5 | Top | 125-113 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacers/Hawks UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Pacers got back on track, breaking a four-game slide with a solid defensive performance in Detroit. Atlanta enters off a blowout loss to the Spurs on Friday and I think it'll have difficulties here vs. this defensive-minded visiting side. The overall situation definitely points to more of a defensive affair in my opinion. Note as well though that the under has hit in two of these teams last three vs. each other. Indiana's slower, more methodical pace, combined with a fatigued home side all adds up to the under as the correct call in my opinion! 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. | |||||||
02-13-21 | Indiana v. Ohio State UNDER 139.5 | 59-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State/Indiana UNDER (8* TOTAL BLOWOUT). What's going on here? Indiana has one of the best defenses in the country, but it's seen the total soar over in seven of its last ten. Ohio State has also been playing to some higher-scoring games this season, as it enter having seen the total go over in seven of its last ten as well. But the situation points to more of a defensive affair this time around in my opinion. Note that Ohio State has seen the total go under the number in ten of its last 14 after a SU road win in which it allowed 65 or less points in. I expect a hard-fought, lower-scoring under once the final buzzer sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
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 | Tulane v. UCF UNDER 132 | 49-53 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCF/Tulane UNDER. Tulane is the worst team in the AAC offensively. The Green Wave lack outside scoring to spread anyone out. Tulane though does have a decent defense, which keeps it competitive at times. UCF is effecient on the offensive end, but it plays at a slower pace. This isn't a very high total, but I expect this to be a very tight, low-scoring battle until the end; the play is the under! 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 | Penguins v. Islanders OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Isles/Pens OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Both teams are struggling right around the .500 mark, which is going to lead to a very wide-open, higher-scoring affair in my opinion, as each pushes the pace in search of a much-needed victory. Goaltending is a major problem for the Pens, as Tristan Jarry is 2-4-1 with a 3.95 GAA, while Casey DeSmith has a 2.85 GAA. The Isles don't care and they're looking to build off two straight victories. The Isles come in off a shutout victory over the Rangers, but I think they'll have a much more difficult time containing this desperate Penguins side. This total is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Isles. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
02-09-21 | 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. | |||||||
02-07-21 | 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. | |||||||
02-06-21 | 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. | |||||||
02-05-21 | 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 | 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 | 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. | |||||||
02-01-21 | 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. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
01-29-21 | 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. | |||||||
01-27-21 | Virginia Tech v. Notre Dame OVER 139.5 | 62-51 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Norte Dame/VA Tech OVER (8*). Virginia Tech will be highly motivated here to get back to its winning ways after its three-game win streak was snapped in a lacklustre 78-60 loss to the Orange last weekend. VT is 11-3 overall and 5-2 in ACC action. The Irish come in with momentum, as they've won two in a row after a 73-59 win over Miami last Sunday. Notre Dame though won't be able to take the foot off the gas here, as it's still only 5-8 overall and 2-5 in league play. VT averages 73.3 PPG and it concedes 65.6. Notre Dame is much better offensively than defensively, averaging 71.3 PPG, but allowing 74. With each team pushing the pace, I look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! 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. | |||||||
01-23-21 | 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 | Connecticut v. Creighton UNDER 139.5 | 66-74 | Loss | -112 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Creighton/UConn UNDER (8*). I'm expecting a hard-fought, and ultimately lower-scoring game here. UConn is 7-2 and Creighton is 10-4. Uconn averages just 73.1 PPG, but it makes up for it on the other end by conceding just 61.8. Creighton will look to double down here defensively in my estimation after back-to-back losses. Note that it averages 81 PPG, while allowing only 69. Expect these two deep teams' defensive play to be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries; the play is the under! 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. | |||||||
01-21-21 | 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. | |||||||
01-19-21 | 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. | |||||||
01-18-21 | 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 | 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. | |||||||
01-16-21 | 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. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Rams v. Packers UNDER 45.5 | 18-32 | Loss | -101 | 75 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rams/Packers UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Clearly the last thing that LA and Jared Goff can do here is try to get into a "shootout" on the road with Aaron Rodgers and the high-flying Packers. LA's stout defense "won the day" in Seattle last weekend and it'll have to step up here again at Lambeau if it has any shot at pulling off another outright. Expect to see a heavy dose of Cam Akers while the Rams are on offense, as they look to limit Goff's responsibilities. Clearly the Packers can score, but if they're going to win another Super Bowl, they're going to have to play some defense. I expect that turn-around to happen here with a week off to prepare. Considering all of the above situational circumstances, I think this number is indeed a little bit high; the play is the under! 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. | |||||||
01-13-21 | 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. | |||||||
01-11-21 | 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. | |||||||
01-09-21 | 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 | Alabama v. Auburn UNDER 150.5 | 94-90 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Alabama/Auburn UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Auburn is 0-3 in league play. This is an important game for the home side, who will be risking life and limb today to finally break into the winners cirlce. Alabama won't be rolling over, as it's lost five straight on this floor. The Tide are well balanced with five players averaging double figures. Overall Bama averages 77.6 PPG, while allowing 69.8. Auburn is giving up less than 72 PPG this year, while averaging just 63.5. Over their last ten games against each other they've average 148.7 PPG, so I expect today's contest to also follow suit. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-06-21 | St. John's v. Xavier UNDER 155 | Top | 61-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Xavier/St. John's UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Xavier hasn't played since December 20th, a 94-83 win over Georgetown. It's last two games have been canceled due to COVID issues. St. John's is 4-6 this year and hwile the total has gone over in eight of its ten games this season, I think that trend ends here vs. the Musketeers. The Red Storm come in off an exhausting 97-94 OT win over the Hoyas in their last game, so I expect them to be a bit flat-footed here as well. Expect these two teams to battle tooth and nail and look for this total to ultimately fall under at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-04-21 | Kings v. Warriors OVER 231 | Top | 106-137 | Win | 100 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Warriors OVER (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams come in highly motivated and for me, that's important when playing an "over." Each club is 3-3 and hungry for more wins. The Kings got out to a hot start, but they come in ready to get back into the winners circle after consecutive losses to the Rockets. Golden State comes in under the radar here, as it's now won three of its last four. Last night Stephen Curry exploded for 62 points in his team's 137-122 win and I don't see him taking the foot off the gas here at all in the second game of the back-to-back. In fact, quite the contrary, as Steph was out all of last year with an injury and he's eager to re-establish himself as one of the league's best. Look for these two hungry team's to push the pace and expect this total to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Saints v. Panthers OVER 47.5 | Top | 33-7 | Loss | -103 | 31 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Panthers/Saints OVER (10*). This is an important game for New Orleans despite having already clinched a playoff spot. The Saints need a win here to qualify for the No. 2 spot in the NFC. New Orleans will be playing today without its entire starting RB group, which means that Drew Brees becomes the focal point of today's Saint's offense. The Panthers won last weekend to break a three-game slide and there's nothing more that Teddy Bridgewater would love to do than to finish the season with two straight wins, especially over his old team. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Cowboys v. Giants UNDER 45 | 19-23 | Win | 100 | 28 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cowboys/Giants UNDER (8*). This is a huge game for both teams, as the winner will clinch the division. Dallas has won three straight, while New York is moving in the opposite direction. Yes, Dallas' offense is clicking right now, but clearly the home side will be looking to avoid any type of "shootout" this afternoon. With each side looking to establish the run and to limit mistakes, this one has the feel of a chess match, where field position and special teams are the deciding factors in the end. This has one has "under" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Hornets v. 76ers UNDER 214.5 | Top | 112-127 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hornets/76ers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The 76ers are 4-1 and they're getting the job done with elite defensive play. No reason not to think that can't carry over here vs. the young Hornets, who will have difficulties with Joel Embiid and company. Philly blocks 4.3 shots per game. They're also defending 44.5 percent outside the arc, which is the leagues best. Charlotte lives and dies by the three-ball and it enters off a loss at home to the Grizzlies. I have a hard time seeing the Hornets mustering much of an offensive attack here. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 109-100 Philly. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Hawks v. Nets OVER 239.5 | Top | 141-145 | Win | 101 | 15 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Nets OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The young Hawks are 3-0 and they've been getting the job done so far with a lights out defense that's almost impossible to contain. ATL enters averaging 128 PPG on 48 percent shooting. Trae Young is averaging a team-high 34 PPG. ATL forward Solomon Hill: "We definitely can score. I think our offensive efficiency needs to be cleaned up. Our execution has to be a little bit crisper and we need to give more space to let Trae work." The Nets have lost two in a row, including an OT loss to the Grizzlies. Both KD and Kyrie Irving sat that game out though, but with both expected to suit up here, expect a return to the norm for this dynamic Nets' offense. For all the reasons listed above, the play is the "over!" T.M. Prediction: 130-123 Brooklyn. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Colorado v. Texas OVER 63 | Top | 23-55 | Win | 100 | 37 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Colorado/Texas OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Texas has put some points on the board this year, including games where it's scored 69, 63, and 59 points. In the last game they played, the Longhorns combined for 100 total points. Overall Texas averages 41 points per game. Colorado on the other hand averages almost 30 points per contest. These schools have played a combined 14 games this season, and nine of those contests have flown over the number. Expect that trend to continue here, this number is a tad low; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Texas A&M v. LSU OVER 141.5 | Top | 54-77 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: A&M/LSU OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). This one has over written all over it in my opinion. LSU ranks sixth offensively in the KenPom with a top 10 effective field goal % in the nation (it also runs at an above average pace.) The Aggies of course like to slow things down and grind out victories with a half-court offense, but LSU's pressure is going to take them out of their comfort zone for sure here. The LSU defense though is poor, ranked 118th in the KenPom. The Tigers though will look to take advantage of an A&M team which is allowing opponents to shoot 34.7 percent from range. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Bills v. Patriots OVER 46 | Top | 38-9 | Win | 100 | 108 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bills/Pats OVER (10* TOTAL MAYHEM). Despite being eliminated, I don't think the proudful Patriots will simply roll over here. The Pats hate the Bills, no matter who is under center. New England plays with revenge here as well after a low-scoring loss in Buffalo at the start of the season. Buffalo could care less about New England's issues. The Patriots have crushed the Bills for well over a decade, so Buffalo will have no mercy on this organization ever. The Bills have averaged over 33 points over their last four games and I expect that offense to lay the hammer down here as well. Buffalo allows 24.3 PPG, so Cam Newton and the home side will have some opportunities. This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 34-27 Bills. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Pistons v. Hawks OVER 225 | Top | 120-128 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Pistons OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Detroit's been a garbage dump on the defensive end in the early going and I expect that trend to continue here vs. the high-flying Hawks. The Pistons have so far allowed 119.5 PPG and the Hawks have been averaging 123 to start. Atlanta has been decent defensively and the Pistons have only averaged 110 PPG, but Detroit will be out to push the pace as to avoid the 0-3 start. This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 125-117 ATL. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Titans v. Packers UNDER 56 | Top | 14-40 | Win | 100 | 84 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Packers/Titans under (10* NON-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE YEAR). These are two of the highest-scoring teams in the league (in fact, Tennessee is the highest-scoring club in the league at just under 32 points per game average.) Each also comes in in the middle of the pack on the defensive side of the ball. Many may think this will be a high-scoring shootout, but I definitely am not expecting that whatsoever. Each team is in the playoffs, but still looking to cement a better spot. This is a non-conference game, so the emotion levels are always a little less in those situations. It's going to be a cold and blustery day in Green Bay and I expect the Titans to run with Derrick Henry, and then run some more. It's interesting to note as well that Tennessee has seen the the total dip under in 11 of its last 15 non-conference road games when the total in the contest is set between 53.5 and 57.5 points; this number is definitely too high in my opinion, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Browns v. Jets OVER 47 | 16-23 | Loss | -114 | 77 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Browns/Jets OVER (8* MONEY-MAKER). Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb are going to have to make some plays today, as Cleveland comes to New York short-handed, with a few of its key receivers on the COVID 19 watch list. The Browns have one of the best offenses in the league and with a date at home vs. the Steelers next weekend, I think they'll take this contest very seriously, as they try to earn another victory in this very winnable matchup. The Jets are coming off their first outright win of the year and they'll be looking to play spoiler here and take advantage. The over has hit in four of Cleveland's last six on the road and I expect that trend to carry; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-26-20 | 49ers v. Cardinals OVER 48.5 | Top | 20-12 | Loss | -116 | 57 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Niners/Cards OVER (10* NFC West TOTAL OF THE YEAR). Arizona enters on top form and in such a pivotal contest, I believe it continues to build momentum. Arizona averages 27.9 PPG and at 8-6, it now controls its own destiny as far as a playoff spot is concerned. I don't expect Arizona to sit on a lead or "try to play it safe." Even if the Cardinals have a big lead, I believe they'll continue to keep the foot on the gas now at every opportunity as they try to continue to build offensive chemistry. San Fran's a mess, but it gets TE George Kittle back from injury. The 49ers are out to play spoiler today and I think that motivation helps in driving up this score as well. This one has "shootout" written all over it; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-24-20 | Hawaii v. Houston OVER 59 | Top | 28-14 | Loss | -113 | 27 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawaii/Houston OVER (10* TOTAL BEATDOWN). This one has "shootout" written all over it. This game is being played in Texas and while there is supposed to be some wind gusts up to 30 MPH, it'll otherwise be a nice sunny/perfect day for Football. Neither team can play a lick of defense, as Hawaii allowed 29.3 PPG, while scoring 26. Hawaii quarterback Chevan Cordeiro is going to be able to exploit this Houston defense though, which allows 417.3 yards per game. Clayton Tune has 17 touchdown passes though in this abbreviated season and he's obviously going to be given the green light to air things out from start to finish. I expect a fun, wide open, high-scoring Bowl game on X-Mas Eve; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 37-27 Houston. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Eagles v. Cardinals OVER 48.5 | 26-33 | Win | 100 | 124 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cards/Eagles OVER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Two DESPERATE teams in need of a victory = offensive production on the field of play. Both teams need to win to keep pace in their respective divisions and to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Both teams have struggled with offensive consistency at times, but the overall situation lends itself to more of a shootout than chess match in my opinion. Additionally note that Philly has seen the total fly over the number in seven of its last ten road games after a SU home victory, while Arizona has seen the total eclipse the number in ten of its last 14 after allowing seven points or less in a SU/ATS victory in its last outing. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Arizona. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Nebraska v. Rutgers OVER 55 | Top | 28-21 | Loss | -109 | 83 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nebraska/Rutgers OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). I look for this total to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later. 2-5 Nebraska gets ready to take on 3-5 Rutgers from SHI Stadium which will be the final game of the year for both programs. I expect each to open up the playbook and air this one out from start to finish. Nebraska lost 24-17 to Minnesota last Saturday, so it'll be eager to finish off on a high note. Nebraska uses a two QB system (Luke McCaffrey and Adrian Martinez) and each will be out to try and solidfy for next season. Rutgers gets to have senior night after all and Noah Verdal will look to send his team off with a victory, as the senior has thrown nine touchdowns and eight interceptions. BOth teams combine to allow over 62 PPG on average, so as I said up top, look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Richmond OVER 141.5 | Top | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Loyola Chicago/Richmond OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Richmond is 5-1, it is pretty good offensively by averaging 77 points per game, but the Spiders have to be, as they concede 70.3. Loyola-Chicago won't be intimidated here as it enters at 3-1, averaging 76 PPG and conceding 60.9. These teams both play at a very high-pace and I expect that to translate into offensive production on the court today (note that Richmond has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 overall, while Loyola Chicago has seen the total go over in ten of its last 11 overall.) Look for these two talented teams to eclipse the number before the final horn blares! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-17-20 | Chargers v. Raiders UNDER 53.5 | Top | 30-27 | Loss | -110 | 60 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chargers/Raiders UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The Chargers finally covered a spread last weekend, managing to come from behind to knock off the Falcons 20-17. Maybe that's not such a big surprise though considering how many times the Falcon's have given up late leads. The Chargers are banged up and they only average 22.8 PPG at the best of times. The Raiders just fired their defensive coordinator, as head coach Jon Gruden puts his foot down with one last effort/push to close out the season. It's basically do or die for the Raiders today, who will look to control this one from the outset and to limit mistakes. Note that over the last ten games between these teams the average score has been 42.6. I think today's will be even less than that. I'm banking on a lower-scoring defensive battle! T.M. Prediction: 17-13 Vegas. | |||||||
12-13-20 | Steelers v. Bills UNDER 47.5 | Top | 15-26 | Win | 100 | 128 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Steelers/Bills UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). This one has "under" written all over it in my opinion. Pittsburgh is now 11-1 after suffering its first loss of the yar last week in a 23-17 setback to Washington. Buffalo enters off a second straight win, beating San Francisco on the road last weekend. Pittsburgh has the No. 1 defense in the NFL, and I think that Josh Allen will have a difficult time getting set this evening. The Steelers will look to establish the run throughout as well. THe last thing Pittsburgh wants to do is to turn this into a shootout. The Steelers want to control the tempo of this one, win the field position battle and special teams play. Considering all of the above circumstances, I do indeed feel this number is a little high; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-13-20 | St. John's v. Georgetown OVER 151.5 | Top | 94-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgetown/St. John's OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Red Storm are 5-2 and the Hoyas are 2-3. The Red Storm were just 17-15 last year. These teams split a pair of games last year, each winning on the other's floor. The Red Storm average 80.3 PPG and they allow 75.6. Georgetown averages 71.0 PPG and it allows 68.8. The Hoyas were just 15-17 last year. Georgetown enters off a 76-63 loss to Villanova, but the Hoyas have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 11 home games after allowing 75 points or more in a SU/ATS loss in their last outing. I look for these two hungry conference rivals to combine for more than enough to push this total over the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Stanford v. Oregon State UNDER 55.5 | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 106 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford/Oregon State UNDER (8* TOTAL BLOWOUT). This is the final regular season game for both teams and I think they'll each go through the motions. Stanford is 2-2 after winning its last two games, while Oregon State is 2-3. Both teams have had to deal with injuries and COVID concerns this year as well. Stanford's defense has looked pretty good in its last two victories, holding Cal to 23 points and Washington to 26. Stanford WR's Connor Weddington (15 for 157 yds) and Michael Wilson (19 for 261 yards) were tragically lost to injury in last week's win though. Oregon State only averages 386 yards of offense per game and 180 of those come on the ground. With both teams looking to establish the run and just finish this season, look for this total to stay well under once the final whistle sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-11-20 | Nevada v. San Jose State UNDER 58.5 | Top | 20-30 | Win | 100 | 82 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nevada/San Jose State UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). I base my selections on many different things. I think that being flexible with your approach is the best way to handicap. What might work for one contest or instance, doesn't always fit with others. This particular selection is based primarily on the situation that each team finds itself coming into this contest, combined with common sense. Yes, neither is good defensively, but this is the regular season finale for each team, and they've had to move the location to Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas to do it because of COVID concerns. I'm banking on all of the off-field distractions adding up and being more than enough to help in driving this total under at the end of the night. Considering these situational circumstances, I'm recommending a play on the under in this one! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-10-20 | Patriots v. Rams UNDER 45 | Top | 3-24 | Win | 100 | 59 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rams/Pats UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK.) These are two of the best defensive clubs in the league. New England allows 21.3 PPG and LA allows 20.3. Both teams come in off high-scoring victories, but the short week will turn this one into more of a "chess match" than a "run and gun shootout" in my opinion. New England got the job done last week with 180 rushing yards and some great special teams play. Expect these two teams to go well under once it's all said and done! T.M. Prediction: 21-13 Rams. | |||||||
12-08-20 | North Carolina v. Iowa OVER 155.5 | 80-93 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNC/Iowa OVER (8*). I expect these teams to push the pace from start to finish and I look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later. Iowa is 3-0 after a comfortable 99-58 win over Western Illinois, while UNC is off a 69-67 loss to No. 14 Texas in the Maui Invitational. UNC lost that one at the buzzer, so it'll be especially motivated here after that setback. Overall the Tar Heels average 72.8 PPG and they allow 60.8, while Iowa averages 99.7 PPG, while conceding 67. With both of these offensively talented teams pushing the pace, this one definitely has "o-v-e-r" written all over it my opinion! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-07-20 | Washington Football Team v. Steelers UNDER 44 | Top | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 124 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Steelers/Washington UNDER (10* MAYHEM). Washington has become a "run first" team behind the great play of rookie running back Antonio Gibson, who has 645 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. Alex Smith has lost a step. The last thing he'll want to do is to turn this into a shootout. The Steelers excel at stopping the run, ranked 8th overall in that department. Pittsburgh's perfect record is on the line here after barely holding on for the 19-14 win over Baltimore last time out. Pittsburgh is ranked third overall defensiely and Washington is ranked fourth. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 21-9 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
12-06-20 | Patriots v. Chargers UNDER 47.5 | 45-0 | Win | 100 | 99 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pats/Chargers UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Both teams are hungry for victories. The Chargers are coming off a 27-17 loss to Buffalo, while the Patriots enter off a 20-17 victory over Arizona. New England has now won three of its last four. Overall New England though is only averaging 20.8 PPG. Thankfully for Cam Newton and the Pats, their defense has been sharp, conceding only 23.2 PPG. The Chargers have lost four of their last five. LA only averages 21.6 PPG, while allowing 27.3. I expect both teams to try and establish the run throughout, just one more factor which is going to contribute in helping to push this total under at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-05-20 | Kansas v. Texas Tech OVER 62.5 | 13-16 | Loss | -116 | 72 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech/Kansas OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The last time these team's met, Kansas somehow managed to pull off a 37-34 upset. The Red Raiders are 3-6 and they'll be eager to avenge that setback from last season and pound the 0-8 Jayhawks into the ground. I expect each side to open up the playbook and I ultimately look for this total to fly over the number sooner, rather than later. Kansas' most recent loss was a 59-23 setback to TCU. Miles Kendrick, Jalon Daniels, and Thomas MacVittie will have some opportunities to move the football again against the Red Raiders, who allow the 15th most total yards per game in the nation and the ninth most points (39.3). Two motivated offenses squaring off against two very poor defenses. This one has "over" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-04-20 | Kent State v. Virginia UNDER 127.5 | 64-71 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UVA/Kent UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). UVA had National Championship dreams before the season started, but it fell 61-60 to San Francisco in its second game. The Cavs have been one of the best defensive teams in the nation over the last decade and that'll again be the case this season. And off the shocking loss, we can expect them to double down on that end of the court tonight as they look to take out their frustrations on lowly Kent. The Golden Flashes have already had to deal with COVID games, their lone win was a 90-41 victory over Parks Point. This one has the feel of a very tight, and ulimtately low-scoring game; I'm on the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-03-20 | Texas-San Antonio v. Oklahoma OVER 151 | 66-105 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma/UTSA OVER (8*). UTSA enters off an 81-64 loss to UTRGV. UTSA though is averaging 80.5 PPG, while allowing 76. Oklahoma will have its hands full here trying to slow down this high-tempo Roadrunners offense. This is the Sooners first game of the year. Several players return from a team which averaged 70.2 PPG, while allowing 67.4. Note that UTSA has seen the total go 7-2-1 to the over in its last ten on the road, while Oklahoma ha sseen the total go over in four of its last five home contests. This number is a tad low; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-02-20 | Ravens v. Steelers OVER 42 | Top | 14-19 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ravens/Steelers OVER (10* DOMINATION). This is a weird game and weird circumstances. Baltimore has its running backs available, but starting QB LaMar Jackson is out with COVID. Several other defensive players are also out for Baltimore. I think the Ravens fight hard in the second half, but I expect Pittsburgh to lay it on hard out of the break and I look for this total to sneak over the number once the smoke clears at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
12-01-20 | Kentucky v. Kansas OVER 146 | Top | 62-65 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kentucky/Kansas OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Both teams are loaded with talent. Kentucky has a loaded freshman class that will be playing with a chip on its shoulder here as it tries to respond from a humbling 76-64 loss to Richmond. Kansas has done well this season as it's only loss cam in its opening game of the year to No. 1 Gonzaga. These are two teams which are offensive oriented and which combine to score 164.5 PPG. This one has "over" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
11-30-20 | UMKC v. Kansas State UNDER 130.5 | 58-62 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: K-State/UMKC UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). It's the Roos vs. the Wildcats from Bramlage Coliseum on Monday and in my opinion, this one is going to fall well under once it's all said and done. The Roos are 2-1. They average 103 points and allow 67.7. However, their early competition has been all sub-division teams and now it faces its first true test of the year. K-State is desperate to break an 0-2 slide to open the year. The Wildcats have averaged 64 points and allowed 78 over those setbacks. That said, note that they've seen the total go under in eight of their last 11 after back-to-back SU/ATS losses. I'm banking on a "chess match," rather than a run and gun "shootout;" this number is a little high! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
11-29-20 | Dolphins v. Jets OVER 44 | 20-3 | Loss | -112 | 96 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dolphins/Jets OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Miami enters off an upset loss to the Broncos and it needs a win here to keep pace with Buffalo for the division lead. Brian Flores still has his team in a good position to make the playoffs and this is a game in which they'll definitely be looking to get their offense rolling in. The Jets are offense has gotten better of late as well, thanks in part to many players starting to finally work their way back from injury. Sam Darnold is back under center for the home side and he'll be desperate to lead his team to its first victory of the year, while at the same time trying to deal a big blow to the Dolphins playoff chances. This one definitely sets up as a "shootout!" T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Miami. | |||||||
11-28-20 | Penn State v. Michigan OVER 57.5 | 27-17 | Loss | -111 | 72 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Penn State/Michigan OVER. These are two teams in need of a win. Both have drastically underperformed. Has that been because of the weird pandemic year? Maybe. Penn State won this game last year by a score of 28-21, but I expect much more of a shootout this time around. Penn State has struggled defensively, but note that despite using a few different people under center, it's still ranked 28th in the country in passing with 279 yards per game. Both teams allow an average of 36 points per game, so they're able to move the ball. The only problem is, they're unable to stop it. Note as well that the Wolverines have seen the total go over in 77 percent of their last 30 games following an ATS loss as well. This one has "shootout" writtne all over it! T.M. Prediction: 36-33 Michigan. | |||||||
11-27-20 | Belmont v. George Mason UNDER 147 | 77-67 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: George Mason/Belmont UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Belmont comes in off a big 95-78 win over Howard, led by 21 points from Jacobi Wood. The Bruins face a much better team this time around though in George Mason, which just narrowly got by Queens NC 66-65. Belmont will look to clean up its defensive play after allowing 78 points to Howard. I think these offenses stall in the second half; this number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 67-64 Belmont. | |||||||
11-26-20 | New Mexico v. Utah State OVER 51 | 27-41 | Win | 100 | 75 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Mexico/Utah State OVER (8*). A couple of down and out 0-4 teams collide on Thanksgiving night. With the Steelers game being pushed back to Sunday, this contest suddenly will have millions more eyes on it than it normally would. With nothing to lose, I look for each side to open up the playbook and push this total over the number sooner, rather than later. New Mexico is only averaging 18.5 PPG, but now they face a weak Utah State defense. The Aggies are only averaging 11.3 PPG so far in the early going, but their offense also benefits in facing New Mexico's messed up defensive unit, which allows a ghastly 324 yards per game through the air. Both teams have been poor protecting the pass, so expect this one to be a "shootout." This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 33-31 Utah State. | |||||||
11-26-20 | Texans v. Lions UNDER 51.5 | 41-25 | Loss | -110 | 69 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texans/Lions UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Neither team has officially been eliminated from playoff contention. The Lions have better odds to advance, but they're coming off a poor 20-0 loss to Carolina. They're now 4-5 and tied for third in the NFC North with the Vikings. Detroit's defense has been underrated all season in my opinion and while Matt Stafford will surely have a better game, he's without top receiver Golloday for this one, so expect a heavy dose of the run from Detroit here. Houston's offense is extremely one-dimensional with DeShaun Watson under center, as the Texans average only 79 yards per game on the ground. Note that the total has gone under the number in 14 of Detroit's last 21 after getting shutout in its last outing as well. Very interesting. Look for these two lowly non-conference teams to come out flat to start and for that to be enough to push this total under once it's all said and done! T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Houston. | |||||||
11-25-20 | Lokomotiv Moscow v. Atletico Madrid OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -135 | 23 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atletico Madrid/FK Lokomotiv Moscow OVER 2.5 (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Atletico Madrid has lost only one game out of 11 this year against Bayern Munich, while Lokomotiv just broke a six-game slide with a victory over Arsenal Tula. Note that Lokomotiv has never defeated Atletico Madrid in six tries. Bayern is still five points ahead of Atletico Madrid, so the Rojiblancos will be looking to take advantage of this matchup in familiar surroundings. Atletic Madrid enters off an impressive win over Barcelona and it won't be taking Lokomotiv for granted after drawing with it 1-1 last month in Moscow. Joao Felix will make up for Luis Suarez being sidelined, but Lokomotiv won't go down without a fight. This one has "over" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Atletico Madrid. | |||||||
11-23-20 | Rams v. Bucs OVER 47 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 131 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rams/Bucs OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The Buccaneers bounced back from a humbling defeat to the Saints to smash the Panthers 46-23 last weekend. The Rams came out of their bye-week and beat Seattle 23-16. Tampa will look to push the pace from the outset though as it tries to get the defensive-minded Rams out of their comfort zone. Despite the low-scoring victory last week though, I'll point out that Rams' QB Jared Goff posted his second-straight 300-plus yards passing game. This one is going to be centered around these two red-hot QB's; look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 33-30 Tampa. | |||||||
11-22-20 | Chiefs v. Raiders UNDER 57 | Top | 35-31 | Loss | -105 | 107 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs/Raiders UNDER FIRST HALF (10* BLOWOUT). The Raiders won a high-scoring thriller in Kansas City a couple of weeks ago. Both teams come in off wins, but while the first game went over the number, I believe the second affair between these two AFC leading clubs with fall well under once the smoke clears at the end of the night. And I believe this will in fact pay immediate dividends for us in the first half (note as well that the total has gone under in seven of these teams last ten vs. each other). With each team looking to establish the run early, the savvy call is the under in the first half! T.M. Prediction: 13-7 KC. | |||||||
11-22-20 | Eagles v. Browns UNDER 46 | 17-22 | Win | 100 | 100 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Eagles/Browns UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). These teams have struggled to points on the board of late. Each has an underrated defense as well. The Browns will be looking to establish the run from start to finish with a healthy backfield (Chubb and Hunt), as to alleviate some of the pressure off of Baker Mayfield, who is playing without his No. 1 receiving target in OBJ. THe Eagles got the services of RB Miles Sanders back in last week's loss to the Giants, and he'll also be crucial in helping out his beleagured QB Carson Wentz. The under has gone 11-6-1 in the Browns last 18 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and I expect that strong to carry; this number is a tad high! T.M. Prediction: 21-18 Cleveland. | |||||||
11-21-20 | California v. Oregon State UNDER 49.5 | 27-31 | Loss | -110 | 79 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cal/Oregon State UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Both teams have struggled to start the year (especially on the offensive side of the ball) and I expect another awkward/sloppy contest here as well, which I believe will ultimately help in driving this total under the number once it's all said and done. Cal had its first two games canceled because of the virus and then it was blown out at home in its opener by UCLA last weekend. Cal only scored ten points in the loss, as QB Chase Garbers had 122 yards and an interception in the seback. The Bears gave up 34 points, but 27 of those came in the first half. The Cal defense catches a break here as well facing the Beavers, who have lost two straight and who are averaging 24.5 PPG. The last two meetings between these schools have gone under the number and we can fully expect this one to follow suit. T.M. Prediction: 21-18 Cal. | |||||||
11-21-20 | Indiana v. Ohio State OVER 66 | 35-42 | Win | 100 | 76 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana/Ohio State OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). No need to overanalyze this one. Indiana's defense is admittedly underrated, but the Hoosiers aren't going to win this game trying to slow down a Buckeyes team which is averaging over 46.3 points per game. Ohio State's defense is ranked fifth in the conference as well, so it's not dominating on that end of the field like it has in recent year's past. If Indiana is going to win, it's going to need Michael Penix Jr. to step up and have a big day. Ohio State's Justin Fields has 11 TD's and zero INT's as well. Indiana has posted 36 points or more in three of four games this year and in my opinion, this one definitely has "shootout" written all over it; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 50-25 Ohio State. | |||||||
11-20-20 | Syracuse v. Louisville OVER 56.5 | Top | 0-30 | Loss | -109 | 60 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Syrcause/Louisville OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Syracuse didn't play last weekend. The weekend before that it lost 16-13 to BOston College as a 14.5 point underdog. Louisvill is coming off a poor 31-17 home loss to Virginia. These are two teams which have seen better days, but both who will be playing hard to earn a victory today. Last year Louisville won this game 56-34 and while I'm not expecting that many points this time around, all signs definitely point to a shootout in my opinion. Syracuse turned to QB Jacobian Morgan, who made his first start last time out, and all things consider he was decent by finishing 19 of 30 for 188 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Syracuses's numbers are poor on both sides of the field, averaging 18.3 PPG and allowing 31.1. The Cardinals are averaging 27.9 PPG and they're conceding 29.8. Louisville' QB Malik Cunningham has 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions this year, but note that the Cardinals have seen the total eclipse the posted number in their last six home games. I like Morgan under center for Syracuse, as I believe he'll have plenty of opportunities to build off his first decent performance vs. this very shaky Orange secondary. This one has "over" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 40-23 Louisville. | |||||||
11-17-20 | Akron v. Kent State OVER 58.5 | Top | 35-69 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Akron/Kent State OVER. Akron is 0-2 and it has nothing to lose here (except another game of course!) Zach Gibson has struggled in the early going, but I believe he'll have some opportunties here vs. the Golden Flashes, who will also be looking to run up the score here and move to 3-0. The MAC is only playing six games, so every game counts and every performance matters. Dustin Crum is poised for a monster day of production for the Golden Flashes vs. this weak Zips' secondary; Crum so far has 490 yards, six TD's and just one INT (four of those TD's came in last weeks' blowut win over Bowling Green.) Note as well that the total has flown over the number in four of Kent State's last six at home, while Akron has seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of its last 11 after back-to-back losses of 20 or more points. Look for this total to fly over shortly in the second half! T.M. Prediction: 47-25 Kent State. | |||||||
11-16-20 | Vikings v. Bears OVER 44.5 | Top | 19-13 | Loss | -109 | 156 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vikings/Bears OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUIILDER). Minnesota averages 27.1 PPG and it allows 29.3. Dalvin Cook has been unstoppable of late though and I think he'll be a difference maker here in Chicago as well. Cook had 858 rushing yards and 13 total TDs so far. The Bears will be leaning on QB Nick Foles to snap a three-game slide. Foles looked good in defeat to Tennessee in the Bears last game, going 36 of 52 for 335 yards and two TDs. Minnesota desperately needs a win here to keep its slim playoff hopes alive and the Bears are on the cusp of falling out of second after three straight losses. With both teams pushing the pace from start to finish, look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Minnesota. | |||||||
11-15-20 | Jaguars v. Packers UNDER 52.5 | 20-24 | Win | 100 | 125 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Packers/Jags UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). With a game at Indianapolis next weekend, there's no reason for Green Bay to run up the score in the second half. Expect the Packers to jump out to an early lead, but to then take the foot off the gas after the break. Jacksonville enters off a tough 27-25 home loss to Houston and I expect it to simply go through the motions here in this difficult non-conference venue. Green Bay has seen the total go under in eight of its last 11 non-conference home games as well in which it is a ten-points or higher favorite. Expect this one to stay well under! T.M. Prediction: 27-13 Green Bay. | |||||||
11-14-20 | Miami-FL v. Virginia Tech UNDER 67.5 | 25-24 | Win | 100 | 96 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech/Miami Florida UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). D'Eriq King and Miami have won three straight. The Hurricanes are rolling on both sides of the ball and they now catch a VT team off a 38-35 loss to Liberty as a 17 point favorite. The Hokies play with revenge here, as they're just 4-2 the last six in this series. Miami averages 34.4 PPG, but it allows just 24.9. Virigina Tech has averaged 37.3 PPG in the early going and it's allowed 31.6. The Hokies though are dealing with several injuries and note that the total has gone under the number in 12 of these teams last 17 in the series overall. This is a shortened season, but I expect this particular contest to be more of a "chess match," rather than a "shootout." This number is high, play the under! T.M. Prediction: 28-27 Miami Florida. | |||||||
11-10-20 | Kent State v. Bowling Green OVER 55 | 62-24 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bowling Green/Kent State OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Golden Flashes enter off a 27-23 win over EMU. Bowling Green comes in off a blowout 38-3 setback to Toledo on Wednesday. Bowling Green QB Dustin Crum is in for another big day vs. this poor Bowling Green secondary. Crum had 219 yards, two TD's and an INT last week. Kent State also has two INT's and four sacks in the game. To say Bowling Green was upset by its performane last week is an understatement: “I am extremely disappointed in our first game," BG head coach Scot Loeffler said afterwards. “The positives were just like I said. I thought at times the defense played well. Offensively, disappointed. We didn’t put them in positions to make plays. We did it quite a bit, and we just didn’t execute which was really disappointing.” Expect a much better offensive pefromance from Bowling Green this week. This number is to low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 51-21 Kent State. |
