01-26-24 | Mavs -130 v. Hawks | 148-143 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
Both teams are struggling and are dealing with injuries to key players. Both teams are looking to snap a three-game losing streak. The Hawks will be missing two starters in Hunter and Young while Irving is questionable for Dallas. During their losing streak, Atlanta is giving up 124 points per game. Overall this season, Atlanta has the third-worst defense in the league. The Hawks are just 8-12 at home this season. The Mavericks are 23-21 against the spread while as a road favorite, they are 8-2 ATS. Atlanta, meanwhile, is 1-5 ATS as a home underdog, Dallas should be able to take advantage of Atlanta’s poor defense and come away with a win on the road. Play on Dallas on the money line. This is a 3% play | |||||||
01-26-24 | Suns -4.5 v. Pacers | 131-133 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
The Suns are on a roll and their three big guns of Durant, Booker, and Beal finally meshing together. When they are on, they are a deadly three-headed monster. This game could have been a scoring fest, but without Haliburton in the lineup, the Pacers will struggle to keep pace with the Suns. The Pacers are 3-6 when Haliburton is not in the line-up. This is the second game of a seven-game road trip for the Suns but more importantly, this will be the second game of a back-to-back for the Pacers. Even with Haliburton, this game would be a challenge, without him, the Suns roll. Play on Phoenix. This is a 4% play | |||||||
01-26-24 | Panthers -129 v. Penguins | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
The Florida Panthers have won six of the last ten and two straight against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Panthers have won 11 of their last 15 games and are 15-7-2 on the road this season. Both Goalies have been outstanding with the Penguins' Tristan Jarry and the Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky coming in with goal-against averages under three.

The Panthers average 3.23 goals per game, and allow only 2.60 goals per game. The Penguins put up 2.98 goals per game and allowed 2.73 goals a game. I like the Panthers in this one. Play on Florida.

The Predators are 3.02 goals per game and are allowing 3.11 goals per game. The Wild are putting up 3.02 goals per game and are giving up 3.36. Nashville has been the more consistent team for the season and I like them to win on the road. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

They also have one of the worst defenses in the league, ranking 28th with 122.9 points a game. Tyrese Haliburton is again out for the Pacers, which makes it hard on the offense. The 76ers are 27-15 against the number and will pick up the win as the Pacers won’t be able to keep pace on the offensive end. Play on Philadelphia. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

The Philadelphia Flyers take on the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena. Philadelphia is 25-17-6 this season while Detroit is 24-18-5. They have split their two games this season.

With Shannon in the lineup, the Illini are 10-2 SU, winning by an average of 16.58 points. Northwestern does come in in with a 13-5 record but that came against the 332nd-ranked non-conference schedule. Illinois is 23rd in the nation in scoring offense and 58th in field goal percentage. Illinois will have an advantage on the glass which will allow them to get out and set the pace as Northwestern will try to slow the pace. I like Illinois to roll in this one as they could be a final-four team with Shannon on the lineup. Play on Illinois. This is a 5% play. | |||||||
01-23-24 | Nuggets -3.5 v. Pacers | 114-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 34 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets are on the road in Indiana to take on the Indiana Pacers. Denver is 30-14 this season, good for third in the Western Conference while Indiana is seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 24-19 record. They have played once this season with Denver coming away with a 117-109 win. Denver has been getting it done on the defensive end, where they are the sixth-ranked scoring defense, allowing 110.9 points per game. They have the 14th-ranked offense, putting up 115.9 points per game. Indiana comes into this game with the best offense in the NBA. They are putting up 125 points per game. They need the offensive output as they are weak on the defensive end. They have the second-worst defense in the NBA, giving up 123.1 points a game. Tyrese Haliburton is listed as questionable for the game, and if he can’t go, the Pacers will miss his 23 points a game. The Nuggets have won the last seven games against the Pacers. I like the Nuggets in this one as they are a bad matchup for the Pacers. The Pacers are not a good rebounding team which will allow Jokic to control the paint and will offer a lot of second-chance opportunities for the Nuggets. The Nuggets are the better defensive team and that will make the difference down the stretch. Play on Denver. This is a 4% play | |||||||
01-22-24 | Bulls v. Suns -4.5 | 113-115 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
The Suns come into their game versus the Bulls riding a four-game winning streak and they have won two of their last three home games. Over those four games, the offense has come alive, putting up over 120 points per game in their last four games. They should be able to find success against a Bulls team that is giving up over 115 points a game on the road. The Bulls have won two in a row. They will need to step it up on the offensive end, where they are putting up 110 points a game on the road this season. The Phoenix Suns have won 8 straight over the Bulls with six of those wins covering a 5.5 spread. I am taking the Suns at home in this one. Play on Phoenix. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-22-24 | Wake Forest v. North Carolina -7.5 | 64-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
The North Carolina Tar Heels have been dominating the ACC since the conference season got underway. The Tar Heels have covered the number in seven of their last eight wins. Wake Forest lives on the perimeter, but North Carolina has the athletes on defense, making it difficult to get open looks. Carolina with Armando Bacot down low, will have a huge advantage in the painted area. Wake Forest has lost their last two road games in the conference. The Tar Heels won all their conference games by double digits, except for an 8-point win over FSU. They have won by an average of 15 points in conference play. Wake lives on the perimeter and must hit threes to stay in this game. The problem for them is that the Tar Heels allow their opponent to shoot just 29% from deep. I think Wake will struggle against the NC defense and the Tar heels will dominate the boards and in the paint. I am looking for another double-digit home win for Carolina at home in this one. Play on NC. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-21-24 | Chiefs v. Bills -145 | 27-24 | Loss | -145 | 45 h 18 m | Show | |
We have been here before with the Buffalo Bills taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. They have split their 6 games since 2020 but the Chiefs have won both playoff games. During the season, the KC offense has not been as explosive as in years past, putting up 22.1 points a game. The defense has stepped up to make up for the offense, as they have allowed just 16.7 points per game, which was 2nd in the NFL. Buffalo has played well on both sides of the ball, especially down the stretch. At one point it looked like they would not even make the playoffs. On the offensive side, they are putting up 26.8 points per game. On the defensive side, they are giving up 18.2 points per game which is 4th best in the NFL. The Bills have won the last three regular season matches while the Chiefs have taken both playoff games. This will be the first road game in the playoffs for Mahomes. Buffalo has been red hot as they have won six in a row. This should be a close game, but I don’t trust the receivers of Kansas City to come through in the clutch. Play on Buffalo on the money line. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
01-21-24 | Chiefs v. Bills UNDER 45.5 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 9 m | Show | |
The under has hit in the last 2 games between the Bills and the Chiefs with the last game landing on 37 points. Both team's strength this season has been their defense and I don’t see that changing in this one. The weather will be cold and I expect both teams to rely more on the running game, which will keep the clock running and shorten the game. I can’t trust the KC receivers to come through in the clutch. I am going with the under in this one Play on the UNDER. This is a 3% play | |||||||
01-21-24 | Indiana State -5 v. Murray State | 72-63 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Indiana State has been playing their best basketball since the Larry Bird days. They are contenders to win the MVC this season and make the Big Dance. They will be on the road for this one, but Murray State is just 5-4 SU and 3-5 ATS at home this year. Murray State's defense is not very good and I expect the ISU backcourt to dominate in this game. ISU has won four of their last five games, holding four of those opponents to 73 points or fewer. Indiana State is one of the best shooting teams in the country, and Murray State is 305th in the nation in opponent field-goal percentage and 301st in opponent three-point shooting. I am laying the points in this one and looking for an easy double-digit win from ISU. Play on ISU. This is a 4% play | |||||||
01-21-24 | Bucs v. Lions OVER 49 | 23-31 | Win | 100 | 42 h 35 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay has gone under 12 times in 18 games and four straight. The Buccaneer defense has allowed just 11 points a game over their last four. On the road, Tampa Bay has gone in five of their nine games played on the road. Detroit has gone over the number in 11 of their 18 games this season. They have gone over in three of their last five and six of nine games played at Ford Field. Detroit’s offense will get the better of the Tampa Bay defense as Ben Johnson will be able to dial up plays to thwart the blitz and have a dynamic two-headed rushing attack to wear down the Buccaneers' defense. Tampa will score some points in this one as Detroit employs a bend but don’t break defense that gives up plays in the passing game.. Play on the OVER. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-21-24 | Memphis -3 v. Tulane | 79-81 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
Memphis is coming off a bad loss on their home court to South Florida by a point. They will be looking to take their frustration out on Tulane in this one. Before that upset loss, Memphis was on a roll, winners of 10 in a row. I am looking for the Memphis offense to expose the Tuane defense has been poor all season. UAB pounded the paint in beating Tulane and Memphis has the players to do just that. Tulane is going to put up points with the 8th-ranked scoring offense but they will give up easy points as well. With Memphis controlling the paint, that should free up some open shots from deep and Memphis is in the top third in three-point shooting. Memphis bounces back in this one and gets the win and cover on the road. Play on Memphis. This is a 3% play | |||||||
01-21-24 | Michigan State +1 v. Maryland | 61-59 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
If Michigan State looked in a mirror they would probably see the other team's reflection. Both teams are 11-7 overall and just 3-4 in the conference. Both teams are led by an elite scoring guard with both putting up 20 points a game. Last season, Michigan State came away with a 63-58 win at home. This season, the Spartans are 9-8-1 ATS and the Terrapins are 7-11 ATS.MSU is averaging averaging five more field goals than Maryland and the defenses are pretty even. Michigan State is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings with Maryland. I am taking. Izzo and the Spartans to get an away win here as this is the time of the year the Spartans start to put things together if they are going to. Play on MSU. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
01-21-24 | Michigan State v. Maryland UNDER 135 | 61-59 | Win | 100 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
I am looking for a low-scoring game as both teams like to play at a slow pace. Michigan State will run when they get a chance but if not there they slow it down, hence they rank 279th in tempo and Maryland ranks 295th. Michigan State has gone under in two of their last three games, and Maryland has gone under in four of their last six. Last season’s game saw a total of 121 points scored between them. They have had a combined 20 games hit the under this season. The Spartans have held teams to 65 or less in five of their last nine games and nine times this season. The Terrapins have held four of their last seven opponents to 65 points or less and six times they’ve held a team to 60 points or less. I am taking the UNDER in this game Play on the UNDER.

The Auburn Tigers are a perfect 4-0 in the SEC and have a 15-2 overall record. They will face an Ole Miss team that is 15-2 overall and 2-2 in the conference. Auburn is riding a 10-game overall winning streak and they have won 12 in a row at home. Ole Miss’s two losses have both come in SEC play on the road at Tennessee and LSU. The Rebel’s offense is putting up 77.8 points per game while on the defensive end, they are giving up 70.6. This season the Tigers are 13 in the nation. Auburn is putting up 84 points per game and is giving up just 65.6 points per game. I understand the fact that Ole Miss has played a light schedule, but I feel this point spread is a little off. The Tigers are a perfect 9-0 at home this season while Ole Miss is 2-2 on the road. Both these teams play very good defense and I look for Ole Miss to keep this one within the large number. Play on Ole Miss. This is a 3.% play. | |||||||

The defense also finished third in points allowed with 17.5 points per game. The Packers looked great against Dallas last week and will need to play another flawless game this weekend on both sides of the ball. The 49ers' home record against the spread this season was just 3-5. Just like Baltimore, I like San Fran to win this game but not cover the large number. Play on Green Bay.

The Packers went over the number 11 times in 18 games while the 49ers went 9-7-1 to the over this season. The Packers' offense is playing with a lot of confidence after taking down Dallas in the way that they did. Green Bay has averaged 38.0 points a game in their last three road games. The 49ers are averaging 28.9 points per game this season. San Francisco should be able to run against the Packers' poor rush defense. There is a good chance one or both of these teams put up 30 in this one, I look for this game to go over the number. Play on the over. This is a 4% play | |||||||
01-20-24 | Texans +10 v. Ravens | 10-34 | Loss | -120 | 27 h 30 m | Show | |
The AFC Divisional round starts things off with Houston visiting Baltimore. The Texans took care of the Cleveland Browns 45-14. The Ravens finished the season at 13-4 and had last weekend off. These two teams met earlier in the season, with the Ravens coming away with a 25-9 victory. I think these two teams are closer now than the first time they met. They both were 8-4 against teams with a winning record. Both quarterbacks have had excellent seasons with Jackson being the more dynamic runner and Stoud being the better passer. The Ravens have experience on their side but with Jackson as quarterback, they are just 1-3 in the playoffs. I think the Ravena will win this game but this is too many points to give a hungry Texans team that is playing really well and a Ravens team that has not shown they can win in the playoffs. Take the points. Play on Houston. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Boston College has lost three of their last five games. The Eagles have covered just four of their nine home games. North Carolina has won 17 of the last 18 meetings against the Eagles.

The 11th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers square off against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Wisconsin is 13-3 overall and 5-0 in the Big 10. Penn State is 8-9 overall and 2-4 in conference play. The Badgers are looking for their seventh win in a row. They have been led by AJ Storr with 14.8 points per game while Steven Crowl adds 11.7 points and 7.6 rebounds. Penn State has been struggling, losing three of their last four games. This season, Penn State is led by Kanye Clary with 18.6 points per game while Ace Baldwin Jr. adds 12.8 points. During Wisconsin’s six-game winning streak, they have won by an average of 14.7 points. Looking at just the conference games, the margin in those four wins was 11.5. The Badgers are sixth in the country in offensive efficiency, which is a huge difference from past Badger teams that struggled on the offensive end. The Badgers still get it done on the defensive end, but the same can’t be said for Penn State as they rank 127th in defensive efficiency. Penn State is at home but they do not match up well against the Badgers on either end of the court. I like the Badgers to get the cover on the road. Play on Wisconsin. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Texas A&M Aggies are just 10-6 this season but are coming off a huge win over the sixth-ranked Kentucky Wildcats. They now take on the Arkansas Razorbacks who are 9-7 this season and they have lost three straight. Texas A&M is struggling on the offensive end, putting up 68.3 in conference play as they rank last in field goals made per game and second to last in three-pointers made per game. The Aggies are giving up 75.3 points a game in SEC play. Arkansas has not found success in the SEC, having lost their first three conference games all by double-digits. In conference play, Arkansas is putting up 61.7 points a game and has failed to reach 70 points in their three conference games. On the defensive end, they are giving up 83 points a game. I am not looking for an offensive explosion in this game as Texas A&M has scored less than 60 points in 2 of their three conference games and Arkansas has not scored 70 points in three SEC games. The difference in this game will be on the defensive end, where Texas A&M has a huge edge. Arkansas has lost all three conference games by double digits. Play on Texas A&M.

The Philadelphia Eagles won’t have to worry about the weather as they head to Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Eagles stumbled down the stretch, losing three games in a row and the NFC East title. Tampa Bay finished strong, winning six of their last seven. Philadelphia has lost five of their previous six contests, including three straight away from home. The Eagles rank seventh in scoring at 28.9 points per game. On the defensive side of the ball, they are giving up 25.2 points per game. Jalen Hurts has not thrown a football since he injured his finger on Sunday. A.J. Brown did not practice Thursday and is listed as questionable with a knee injury. The Eagles' defense has been a big letdown over the last few games and they will need to step up if the Eagles are going to do anything in this game. The Buccaneers rank 20th in scoring at 20.5 points per game. They could only put up 9 last week against a bad Carolina team. The defense is ranked seventh, allowing 19.1 points per game. Baker Mayfield missed Thursday's walkthrough due to ankle and rib injuries and is questionable. The Eagles played the Bucs earlier this year in Tampa, coming away with the win and cover. The Bucs have lost two of their last three games against the spread at home. The Bucs have the 29th-ranked pass defense so the Eagles should be able to find some success through the air no matter who is under center. Mayfield has been a good story this season but I still have no trust in him and the Carolina game did not change that. Take the Eagles in this one, in what looks like a close game.

01-15-24 | Eagles v. Bucs UNDER 43 | 9-32 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
When they met earlier this season the game went under the number. The Eagles' defense allowed the Buccaneers just 11 points but has not been playing like that defense over the last few games. Tampa Bay has gone under in three straight. The Eagles have gone under in three of their last five games and their offense has scored 17 points or less three times over those five games. Tampa Bay's defense ranks in the top 10 in the NFL in average points allowed per game. Both quarterbacks are banged up and AJ Brown is questionable for the Eagles. If the Eagles try and run the ball they will be going against a top 10 rushing defense. Tampa Bay scored just nine points against a bad Carolina defense and if the Eagles' defense can play better, they can make it difficult for the Buccaneer offense. I like this game to go under the number. Play on the UNDER. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Both teams rely on strong veteran goaltending in Jake Allen and Alexandar Georgiev. The Under hit in 8 of the last 10 meetings between the two teams. The last time these teams met they combined for 12 goals, despite that, these teams have scored five or fewer goals in the previous eight games. Colorado has scored four or more goals in five of their six games. They have given up at least three in five of their last six. Montreal has scored a total of 10 goals over their last five games. I am looking for the Avs defense to step up in this one.

By moving this game to Monday, the weather outlook has changed and so has the total. One thing for sure is that it will be cold and there should still be wind but not as bad as it would have been on Sunday. I still look for both teams to try and run the ball especially Pittsburgh who will look to shorten the game and pull off the upset The weather does not change the fact that these are two of the best defenses in the NFL. Pittsburgh allowed 19 and the Bills allowed a little over more than 18 points per game. Buffalo’s kicking game has been inconsistent and in this weather, we could see both teams going for it more on fourth down. I like this game to go under the number. Play on the UNDER.

The Detroit Pistons head to Washington, D.C. to face the Washington Wizards. Detroit is 3-36 this season, which is last in the Eastern Conference. Washington is 14th in the Eastern Conference with a 7-31 record. The Pistons are putting up 111.3 points per game and are shooting 46.9% from the field and just 34.4% from deep. On the defense end, they are giving up 122.7 points per game. Detroit is still without their two top players as Cade Cunningham is out with a knee injury until late January and Bojan Bogdanovic is questionable. The Wizards are coming off a win over Atlanta. The win snapped a six-game losing streak. Washington has struggled on the defensive end, giving up a league’s worst 125.2 points per game. On the offensive end, they are putting up 115.5 points per game. The Wizards have been playing better on defense only allowing 115.7 in their last three games. The Pistons traded Marvin Bagley to the Wizards, it is unclear if he will play but if he does, he could be looking to do something special. I can’t trust Detroit without Cunningham in the lineup.

Big Ten rivals Ohio State and Michigan meet on the hardwood instead of the gridiron. The Buckeyes are 12-4 this season and are coming off a loss to Wisconsin. The Wolverines are 6-10 this season and are also coming off a loss to Maryland. Ohios Tstae has lost two straight and will be looking to turn things around against the Wolverines. This season, Ohio State’s offense is putting up 77 points per game. They are shooting 45% from the field and 36.9% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 66.1 points per game, which is fourth-best in the conference. The Wolverines come into this game having lost five in a row. They are putting up 80.1 points per game and they shoot 47.6% from the field and 37.4% from deep. On the defense end, they are giving up 77.8 points per game, the most in the Big Ten. The Wolverines are 5-11 ATS and the Buckeyes are 7-9 ATS this season. Neither team has much depth and Michigan’s bench has gotten shorter with the suspension of their best player, Dug McDaniel. Ohio State has three players scoring over 14 points a game. Michigan also has three players averaging double digits. Ohio State has the better defense and without Dug going for Michigan, they will be more limited on the offensive end. Take Ohio State on the road in this one. Play on Ohio State.

01-14-24 | Rams +3 v. Lions | 23-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
Matthew Stafford comes back to the Motor City as the Los Angeles Rams take on the Detroit Lions. Detroit finished the season with a 12-5 record while the Rams won their last four in a row to finish at 10-7. The Rams had to deal with injuries early in the season which led to inconsistent play from their offense. Matthew Stafford threw for 3,965 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Kyren Williams rushed for 1,144 yards with 12 touchdowns. The offense put up 23.8 points per game and allowed 22.2 points per game. The Lions played their starters last week as they were looking to stay in a groove and even though they came away with a win, it came at a cost as Sam Laporta was lost to an injury. For the season, Jared Goff threw for 4,575 yards, with 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Gibbs and David Montgomery were a two-headed monster in the backfield with Montgomery rushing for 1015 yards while Gibbs rushed for 945. Montgomery rushed for 13 touchdowns and Gibbs added ten. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a team-high 119 receptions and 1,515 yards. The offense put up 27.1 points per game, ranking 5th, while the defense allowed 23.2 points per game. The Rams have more playoff experience which could play a factor in this game. The Lions had a top-five scoring defense early in the season but has not been the same since November. The Rams have scored 25 or more points in six of their last seven games. The Lions have a young team on the rise but their coach has shown that he will gamble at inopportune times sometimes with success but when he fails he puts his defense and team at a disadvantage, As much as it pains me, I will be taking the Rams and the points in this one.

01-14-24 | Rams v. Lions OVER 52 | 23-24 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
Both teams rely on their offense to score a lot of points and hope their defenses can get enough stops to pick up the win. The Rams like to get things going in a hurry and I look for him to establish the passing game right off the back looking for quick scores to put the Lions on their heels. Detroit had a top-five offense in nearly every category this season. The Lions have hit the over in seven of their last nine contests while the Rams have hit the over in six of their last seven. Early in the season, Detroit had a top-five defense but that has fallen off since November and they have allowed a lot of points to offenses not as explosive as the Rams. Dan Campbells' propensity to gamble on fourth down could lead to shorter fields for the Rams' offense in the second half if the Lions find themselves trailing. I am looking for a high-scoring scoring back-and-forth game in this one. Play on the OVER. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-14-24 | Packers v. Cowboys -7 | 48-32 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
The Green Bay Packers square off against the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry’s World. Green Bay finished the season at 9-8 while Dallas is the second seed after going 12-5. The Packers were 6-8 and looking out of the playoffs but won three in a row and got in. Jordan Love will be making his first career playoff start. He threw for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The defense played well this season and allowed 20.6 points per game this season, which is 10th overall. Dallas comes into this game having won their last two games of the season. Dak Prescott threw for 4,516 yards with 36 touchdowns and nine picks. CeeDee Lamb had a league-high 135 catches for 1,749 receiving yards and 12 TDs. The Dallas defense was fifth overall in points allowed at 18.5 per game. I don’t like laying a touchdown in the playoffs but I am on the Cowboys in this one. The Dallas offense has been explosive at home and I see them putting up points on the Green Bay defense. ThisLove’s first playoff start and he will be facing a defense that can dial up pressure and force the quarterback into throws he doesn’t want to make. Throw in the fact that the Packers' best receiver is questionable and the rest of the receiving corps is young and inexperienced, I see that as a recipe for disaster. Lay the touchdown with the Cowboys. Play on Dallas. This is a 3% play | |||||||

Dallas averaged 37.4 points per game when playing at home this season. The over went 5-3 in their home games this season. Dallas should be able to move the ball through the air against the 20th-ranked pass defense in terms of yards per attempt. Jordon Love was seventh in passing yards and second in touchdowns, behind Dak. I think both offenses will find success and we could see some garbage time points from the Pack late to put this one over the number. Play on the OVER. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

Wichita State is at home to face the No. 13 Memphis Tigers. The Tigers are 14-2 this season while the Shockers are just 8-7. Memphis comes into this game riding a nine-game winning streak. The offense is putting up 79.9 points a game. They are shooting 45.5% from the field and 34% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 73.6 points per game. The Shockers have lost four in a row and six of their last seven games. The offense is putting up 73.5 points a game this season but just 65.7 points over their last seven games. They are shooting 43.4% from the field and 30.6% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 71.7 points per game. These two teams have not been great against the number this season with the Tigers going 6-10 ATS while Wichita State is 4-9-1 ATS. Over their nine-game win streak, the Tigers have an average margin of victory of 6.8 points per game. The Shockers lost their last four by an average of 11.8 points per game. Their offense has not scored over 70 points in their last six games. I don't think the Shockers will be able to keep up with Memphis in this one.

In what could have been a high-scoring affair in Miami could be a lot different in the bitter cold of Kansas City. The third-seeded Kansas City Chiefs take on the sixth-seeded Miami Dolphins. These two teams met earlier this season in Germany, with Kansas City winning 21-14. It is forecasted to be cold with temperatures hovering around zero degrees and there is a 50% chance of snow. Miami finished the season at 11-6, but only beat one team with a winning record (at the time of playing). The dolphins are dealing with a rash of injuries at the wrong time of the season. Left tackle Terron Armstead could be a big problem for the offensive line if he cannot go. Defensive backs Jevon Holland and DeShon Elliott are uncertain and Xavien Howard has been ruled out. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back Raheem Mostert are looking like they will go but just how healthy are they? The Chiefs did not have an easy time this season. They started the season 6-1 but struggled the rest of the way. With the temperatures expected near zero, this will be one of the coldest games in NFL history. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are 4-2 against the number in playoff games since 2021. Miami does not have a lot of playoff experience to fall back on and have a first-time head coach. The Dolphins were 1-3 as road underdogs this season. The weather could be a huge factor for the Dolphins as they are used to the warm to moderate temperatures of South Beach. Tyreke has played in Kansas City. so he should have some pointers for the rest of his teammates on how to handle the cold weather. Miami has the offense and defense to win this game but with all the injuries it will be more difficult. If Mostert can go and he is teamed with Archane, the Dolphins could move the ball on the ground against the Chiefs' 18th-ranked rushing defense. The Chiefs offense is not as dominant as in years past as the Wide receiving core has been a huge disappointment this season. The Chiefs have lost three of their last four home games. With Meostart expected to go, it gives Miam two solid running backs for the elements. I am taking the points, Play on Miami, This is a 3% play | |||||||
01-13-24 | Dolphins v. Chiefs UNDER 43.5 | 7-26 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
While the Chiefs have been synonymous with offensive firepower in recent years, their performance this season has seen a notable shift, reflected in their 5-12-0 record against the over. This suggests that, despite their history, the Chiefs have been involved in lower-scoring contests this season. Additionally, the frigid conditions at Arrowhead Stadium, with temperatures around zero degrees and a 50% chance of snow, create an environment less conducive to the high-scoring, fast-paced "track team" style often associated with the Miami Dolphins. Traveling to play in the cold can disrupt offensive rhythm, and the Dolphins' less-than-ideal record as road underdogs adds further weight to the argument for a lower-scoring game. Taking into account these factors, the Under 43.5 slaps you in the face and begs you to take it. Prediction: Under 43.5 | |||||||
01-13-24 | Browns -135 v. Texans | 14-45 | Loss | -135 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
I am sure this matchup was not on many lists at the start of the season. Cleveland and Houston meet in an AFC Wild Card clash. The Browns come in at 11-6 overall and against the number. Finished the season at 10-7 SU and 9-8 ATS. The Browns played really well down the stretch going 4-1 over their last five games, the only loss being the last game of the season while they rested players. Joe Flacco led a Cleveland offense that averaged 27.6 points over their final five and this season they scored 23.3 points per game overall. The Cleveland defense allowed 21.3 points per game. They led the NFL in total yards allowed at 270.2 per game. The Texans also were good down the stretch, going 3-1 over their last four games to win the AFC South behind a rookie quarterback. The Texan's offense averaged 22.2 points per game and the defense allowed 20.8 points per game. These teams met on Christmas Eve, and the Browns came away with a 36-22 win. Flacco threw for 368 yards three touchdowns and two interceptions. The Texans played the game with C.J. Stroud in this game. Stroud will be making his first playoff start and does not have history on his side. Quarterbacks making their first postseason appearance are 27-50 straight-up and 30-46-1 against the spread since 2002. Flacco has been here before and if he can limit interceptions he should be able to throw against a Texans defense that is 23rd against the pass. Stroud finished with the eighth-most sacks taken even though he played in only 15 games and i think the Browns defense will be able to pressure on Stroud throughout the game. The Browns, 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS as favorites this season. Play on Cleveland. This is a 3% play | |||||||

The Heat are putting up 112.8 points per game. On the defensive end, they rank tenth in points allowed at 112.1. The Miami Heat will be without Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro is questionable with a shoulder injury. At even strength, this is a pretty even matchup at least on paper.

The Grizzlies are 3-13 at home this season and are currently 13th in the Western Conference. The Clippers are putting up 117.4 points per game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 111.8. The Memphis Grizzlies have been bad on the offensive end where they rank dead last in points per game, field goals made per game, and three-point percentage. On the defensive end, they are giving up 113.2 points. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard have been healthy and have played in almost every game this season and surprisingly to many Harden has seemed to fit nicely into the mix. The Clippers won the last game between the two by 11 and Memphis had Morant and Smart in the lineup for that one. Jaren Jackson Jr. is also questionable for Memphis.

On the defensive end, they are giving up 123 points per game. Cade Cunningham, the team's leading scorer, is listed as out until late January. The offensive output between the two teams is pretty even but the Pistons will be without their leading scorer and the one guy you could count on in the Piston’s offense. Detroit struggles on the offensive end in the best of times and now they have to face the second-best defense in the league.

01-08-24 | Washington v. Michigan UNDER 56.5 | 13-34 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
These two teams met back in 2021 with just 42 total points being scored in that game. There is something about National Championship games that tend to have teams get off to slower starts as they do not want to make a big mistake early. Washington will be able to move the ball against the Wolverines' defense but I think it will be more methodical than quick strike. Michigan loves to control the ball on the ground and I see them looking to establish the run and wear down the Washington defense. As explosive as Washington’s offense can be, I think that Michigan’s offensive style of play will cause the game to go under the number. The Huskies are an explosive offense but play at a slower pace. Play on the UNDER. This is a 5% play | |||||||

I am looking for a close game that like the semi-final games could come down to the last possession. The Huskies won their three games before the Sugar Bowl by an average of just 2.7 points per game. Michigan has one of the best defenses in the country at least on paper but playing in the Big 10, they have not seen an offense like Washington’s. Penix Jr.'s ability to elude Michigan’s pressure will give him that extra second needed to find an open man downfield. Michigan has a good pass rush but Washington’s O-line won the award for best offensive line this season. Washington gave up 11 sacks in 14 games while averaging 37 pass attempts per game. Texas and Oregon (in both games) were able to run on Washington but it did not bring either team victory. Washington's defense ranked 25th in opponent yards per attempt and 29th in opponent QB rating. If Washington can get up two scores early, I still am not sold on McCarthy as a passer to bring them back when it matters. Take the points in this one as I see this being a field goal game. Play on Washington. This is a 5% play. | |||||||

The Panthers are 4-10-2 against the spread this season. They are 3-3-1 against the spread when they have played at home. Tampa Bay has everything to play for while Carolina has had nothing to play for since the season started. I expect the Buc’s defense to be able to shut down the woeful Panther offense. The Bucs are 7-3 ATS in their last ten games overall and 7-1 ATS in their previous eight outings away from home.

Atlanta has covered the spread in just four of its last 15 games while New Orleans has covered the spread in five of its last seven played during January. New Orleans will be looking for revenge after losing the first game between the two. Both teams have very good defenses but the offensive edge goes to the Saints.

The Ravens locked up the top seed in the AFC and will be resting some key players in this game, including quarterback Lamar Jackson. The Ravens will give the start to Tyler Huntley. Baltimore is putting up 29.6 points a game and is giving up 16.4. Tyler Huntley has proven to be a capable quarterback and I like the Ravens to keep this one close. The Steelers have won their last two games with Rudolph under center but the offense is not lighting the world on fire. In seven meetings between these teams since 2020, the largest margin of victory was by seven points. Five of those seven games finished within four points.

With Lamar Jackson not playing, you can trust the Ravens offense to be as efficient and I would expect them to run the ball more which in essence will run the clock and speed the game up. The Steelers held the Ravens to 10 points when they met earlier in the season. Baltimore and Pittsburgh have great defenses, and I expect both offenses to run the ball.

NC State is putting up 79.8 points per game and has an average margin of victory of 9.6 points. The Irish allow more points than they score on average. NC State has shown they can win on the toad and even though this is the fifth straight home game for the Irish they are just 2-2 over the last four.

Undefeated Pac-12 champion Washington Huskies square off against the one-loss Big 12 champion Texas Longhorns in one CFP semi-final game. Texas has won seven straight games and they've outscored their last three opponents 132-44. Washington wants the ball in the hands of Michael Penix Jr. Penix led the country in passing yards and had 33 touchdowns with nine interceptions. Texas’s biggest strength on defense is stopping the run, the problem is Washington doesn’t like to run the ball. Texas and Ewers should be able to find success against the Huskies' defense I am not sure they can keep up with the Huskie offense.

Michigan is 7-2 ATS over their last nine games. Michigan has not seen an offense like Alabama’s. This will be a battle of trenches and I like Alaba, to come out on top. Harbaugh has not shown he can win bowl games and the fact that JJ McCarthy has not shown he can win the game with his arm will play out on this one as I expect Bama to make Michigan beat them through the air.

The Giants have not scored more than 20 points in consecutive games this season. The Giants offense has been bad all season and I am not convinced Taylor will make that big of a difference. The Ram's offense has been firing on all cylinders and I expect them to continue that success against the Giant's defense, The Rams should be able to move the ball on the ground and through the air and I expect them to control the game from the start.

The SEC and Big 10 battle for Conference supremacy when Ole Miss takes on Penn State in the Peach Bowl. Both teams come into this game at 10-2. Ole Miss comes into this one at 6-4-2 ATS. The Rebels were untouched by the transfer portal offensively. They will be without their starting right tackle due to injury. Jaxson Dart threw for 2,985 yards with 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. Quinshon Judkins rushed for 1,052 yards. They had only one opt-out on a defense that gave up 23.7 points a game this season. Penn State went 9-3 ATS this season. Penn State had two key opt-outs on the defensive side in DE Chop Robinson and CB Johnny Dixon. Drew Allar threw for 2,336 yards with 23 touchdowns and just one pick. Kaytron Allen rushed for 851 yards. Penn State’s defensive ranked third in points allowed at 11.8 points per game. They will be without DC Manny Diaz who left for Duke. I am looking for a close game in this one. I think Big 10 defenses are a little over. overrated as there are not a lot of explosive offenses in the conference that you have to face on a weekly basis. In a QB battle between Dart and Alla, I am choosing Dart all day long. Penn State’s offense struggles against quality defenses and i also think the losses of Robinson on the d-line and Dixon at cornerback will hurt the defense. I like Ole Miss to win outright but take the points. Play on Ole Miss. This is a 4% play. |
