Halliburton has been awesome and carried the Pacers this season but won’t be enough to overcome the one-two punch of Doncic and Irving. The addition of Gafford and PJ Washington has given the Mavs some defensive grit and strength. The Mavs will pull out a road win behind Doncic and Irving. Play on Dallas on the moneyline.

Both teams have explosive offenses but FAu is more efficient on the offensive end and is the better rebounding team which will be an important factor.

On the defensive end, they are giving up 74.1 points a game. The Quinnipiac Bobcats have been dominant in conference play and think it will be difficult for Rider to come out on top in this one. Quinnipiac plays at a fast pace which will allow them to get out and get some easy points with their explosive offense. They are the better team on both ends of the court and have shown it in the conference all season. They shoot over 77% from the line so if this game is close down the stretch they will be able to salt it away at the charity stripe. Play on Quinnipiac. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The 76ers have lost two of their last three home games and have averaged less than 105 points over those five games. This game has lost a bit of the edge with Embiid not playing in this game. That will give a huge edge to the Bucks with 4-6 without Embiid in the lineup. The Bucks are 10-3 in the last 13 games against Philly, and I look for this dominance to continue with the Bucks having the best two players on the court. Play on Milwaukee.

The Texas A&M Aggies take on the fifth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers. Texas A&M is 15-11 but just 6-7 in the SEC. Tennessee is currently 20-6 and 10-3 in conference play. This season has been a bit of a disappointment for the Aggies as they sit in eighth place in the SEC standings and have lost three straight. The Aggies are 11-15 ATS this season. The Vols are second in the SEC just a game behind Alabama. Tennessee is just 12-14 ATS this season. They come in having won three in a row. Tennessee is 12-1 SU at home this season. The Aggies are 4-2 ATS in his last six games against Tennessee. That being said, I am looking for a little Vols revenge in this one. Also, Tennessee is a game behind Alabama with a matchup coming up next weekend. In their last meeting Tennessee shot just 37.1% from the field and 27.6% from deep. I don’t expect them to shoot that bad, especially at home. As bad as Tennessee shot, Texas A&M shot almost 50% from deep and I can guarantee that won’t happen. Play on Tennessee.

Ole Miss is listed as the last team to get into the tournament, so every win down the stretch and losses are magnified. Ole Miss cannot afford to lose to a team like Miss.

The Avalanche, who have scored 13 goals in their last three games, should run up the score with Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Ross Colton, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with quick passes while Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek pick apart the Canucks defense from the point.

The same can be said on the defensive end, where they have allowed 68.6 points a game overall but it jumps to 75.8 in conference play. They are 14-11 ATS this season and have not covered in four straight and are 3-9 ATS in the BIG12. BYU has been a sieve on defense in the conference, especially over the last two games, to not very dominate offenses. Baylor has the offensive weapons that will be able to take advantage of the BYU defensive lapses. Taking Big 12 teams on the road can be risky but Baylor is 3-3 on the road while BYU is 4-2 at home in conference play. Play on Baylor. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

UMass has been one of the best offensive teams in the Atlantic-10 but struggles on the defensive end.

I used to live by the adage “Never bet against Mahomes in the Playoffs” and that has usually been good for me. I went against that the last two games and paid for it dearly. Mahomes has made a season of starts in the postseason. In 17 starts he has posted a 14-3 record. He has completed 67.4% of his passes with 4,802 passing yards, 39 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. That's a 106.3 quarterback rating. Throw in his record as an underdog, 11-1-1 against the spread (ATS), regular season, and postseason as an underdog. – He is 10-3 straight up (SU) as an underdog (regular season + postseason). But it goes beyond Mahomes, Kelce looks to be focused on football as he had 11 catches against the Ravens. They have a nice running game with Pacheco but more importantly, they have the best defense since Mahomes has been in KC. San Fran has a ton of talent on both sides of the ball but to be honest, they should have lost both playoff games. The Lions' offense, at least in the first half, had their way and I think Reid and Mahomes should be able to come up with plays to move the ball down the field. You can say what you want about Purdy doing enough to win those games, but you can only do that for so long. I would rather put my money on Mahomes than on Purdy and hope for the best. Also, I will take Reid over Shannahan. Play on the KC CHIEFS. This is a 5% play. | |||||||

02-10-24 | Clemson -4 v. Syracuse | 77-68 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
Clemson got off to a slow start in conference play but has turned it around. Clemson is 3-2 in their last five games but the two losses were each by a point to Duke and Virginia. Syracuse has won two of their last five games. Syracuse has given up 80 points or more in four of the last five games and over 90 in back-to-back games. Clemson is coming off a win against third-ranked North Carolina, but I don’t see a letdown here as Clemson is looking to maintain their position in the Big Dance and can’t afford losses to inferior teams. The Cuse vaunted 2-3 defense has struggled to stop anybody and I look for Clemson to win and cover in what should be a high-scoring game.

Atlanta is fighting for a playoff spot, so will they be buyers or sellers at the upcoming trade deadline? The Hawks are just 10-13 at home this season. Phoenix is the better team in this one but Atlanta has the rest advantage. I trust the Phoenix defense to get more stops the the Hawks defense. Play on Phoenix on the money line. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

01-28-24 | Lions +7.5 v. 49ers | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers battle it out for the NFC Championship and a trip to the Super Bowl. Detroit is 14-5 this season and an NFL-best 13-6 against the number. San Fran finished the season at 13-5 but just 9-9 against the number. Detroit needs Goff and the offense to play well right from the start. They have done that down the stretch. The defense has to play better as they have given up a lot of yards but in their defense, they have tightened up in the red zone and held teams to field goals. Detroit has a balanced offensive attack as they can run the ball with Gibbs and Montgomery. They will need to at least try to run the ball to keep the Faan Fran defense honest. The 49ers will be playing in their third straight Championship Game and fourth in the last five seasons. Deebo Samuel will go for the 49ers but for how long is a question. The offense is not as explosive when he is not in the lineup and the offense struggled last week against Green Bay. San Fran had a top-10 defense this season. The Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last five and have gone 7-2 ATS on the road this season. San Francisco is 2-3 ATS in their last five and 3-6 ATS at home this season. I think Detroit will be able to keep up with the 49ers and if they can get pressure on Purdy, we have seen him throw interceptions when pressured. Goff has been in a Super Bowl in his career so I don’t think the pressure will get to him. Dan “Gamble” could be a blessing or a curse in this one. I think the Lions can keep it close and have a chance at an upset as they are playing with house money. Play on Detroit. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Magic have given up 124 points or more in two of their last three home games. The Magic have lost four of their last five games and three of their last four home games. Unlike the Suns, the offense has struggled over the last three games, scoring less than 105 points. The Suns are playing better basketball right now and it will be hard for the magic to keep up with Durant, Booker, and Beal. Play on Phoenix. This is a 4% play | |||||||

On the defensive end, they are giving up 75.1 points per game. Memphis is 5-2 on the road this season. Outside of rebounding, Memphis is better or as good as UAb in every category.

The defending Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs go on the road to take on the No. 1 seed Baltimore Ravens for the AFC Championship. This will be a duel between Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. This will be the sixth straight AFC Championship game for Mahomes and the Chiefs. Kansas City relied on their defense this season sd their defense struggled this season. The Chiefs rank 2nd in the NFL for the fewest yards allowed and 2nd for scoring defense. Their run defense will be tested in this one. The Ravens have one of the best defenses in the NFL. They can get pressure with their front four and do a very good job of disguising coverages. Kansas City’s receivers have struggled at times with drops and they can ill afford to drop passes and get into third and long plays. The Ravens are 12-6 ATS this season. The Chiefs bring the experience of Mahomes and Reid, but they had a lot of inconsistency from their receiving room including the sure-handed Kelce. Baltimore finished the season as the 2nd best team against the spread. Baltimore allowed just 16.5 points per game and had the 6th best-passing defense in the league. It is hard to go against Mahomes but I can’t trust the Chiefs' receivers and Kelce will find it hard to get open over the middle with Queen and Smith dropping into coverage. Play on Baltimore.

Over that span, the Kings are putting up 3.60 goals per game while the Blues have scored 2.80 goals per game. The defenses will be the key in this game and I give the edge to the Kings. The Kings rank fifth in goals against per game and third in shots against per game. St. Louis ranks 19th in goals against per game and 25th in shots against per game. I like the Kings in this one as they are better on both ends of the ice and have had the Blues number as of late. Play on LA KINGS This is a 3% play. | |||||||
