Play On: Under 193.0 (5*)

Both of these teams have shown offensive explosion in recent games. Before you jump the gun, and think this one is a lock for a high scoring affair, be aware of the rest feature for each team. The Jazz will be playing their 4th road game in the last 5-nights. The Hornets will be playing their 3rd game in the last 4-days. With both teams encountering fatigue, and with tired legs usually the flavor of the day when that occurs, look for the shooting in this contest to be less than stellar.

Any team (Utah) with a total of 190.0 to 199.5 that scored 100-points or more in each of their previous 3-games, versus an opponent (Charlotte) that scored 55-points or more in the 1st half of each of the last 2-games, has seen that team go under the total 35 of 46-times (76.1%) since 1996.

Western Michigan vs. Air Force 5:45 PM ET
Game# 207-208
Play On: Over 58.0 (5*)

This is the most balanced Air Force team on offense in recent memory. Yeas they still run the triple option offense, and rely heavily on the run, but they're getting 45.5% of their offensive yards this season via their passing game. The big reason for the improvement is the play of quarterback Kale Pearson who has passed for 1513-yards (14 TDS/3 INTS) and ran for another 758-yards this season.

This Western Michigan team has scored 41-points or more in 6 of 12-games this season. They're led by star frosh running back Jarvion Franklin who has rushed for 1525-yards and scored 24-touchdowns this season. The Broncos offense is plenty capable with their passing game as well, and versus a porous Air Force pass defense that's allowed 260-yards per game in the air, they will certainly have plenty of opportunities to stretch the field.

Air Force enters this bowl game with a stellar 9-3 record, and Western Michigan comes in at 8-4. The Broncos finished the regular season with a disappointing 31-21 loss to Northern Illinois as an 8.5 point home favorite. Any team with a total of 56.5 to 63.0, coming off a conference straight up favorite loss, and has a winning record on the season, versus an opponent with a winning record, has seen 28 of those 37-games (75.7%) go over the total during the past 5-seasons.

Orlando @ Boston 7:35 PM ET
Game# 709-710
Play On: Over 199.5 (5*)

Much of the low scoring output by the Orlando Magic is due to the slower pace they prefer to play at. The Magic averages just 80 field goal attempts per game which is on the low side by NBA standards. However, they will be facing a Celtics team tonight that has been adept at being able to push the pace to their liking this season. Boston averages and allows an identical 88 field goal attempts per game.

Oklahoma City @ Sacramento 10:35 PM ET
Game# 511-512
Play On: Over 205.5 (5*)

Forget the offensive statistics on the Thunder for the season, they're irrelevant considering start players Russell Westbrooke and Kevin Durant were sidelined by injuries for extended period of time. Both are back and healthy. The Thunder have averaged 110-points per game over the last 4-games. They've scored 103-points or more in 7 of their previous 8-games. The Sacramento Kings have the uncanny ability to get to the free throw line at an extremely high rate. The Kings are averaging 32 free throw attempts per game and are converting on 77% of those. That makes up for a lot of their otherwise lackluster shooting from the floor.

Any team (Thunder) with a total of 200.0 to 209.5 that's won 8 or more of their last 10-games, and they have a losing record on the season, has seen that team go over the total in 26 of those 31-games (83.9%) since 1996.

They've gone over the total in 9 of 10-games this season versus an opponents that allows 99-points or more per contest. Those 10-games have averaged 217.2 points combined being scored. This is a Clippers team that rarely has an off night offensively. They've scored 100-points or more in 16 of their previous 20-games.

Detroit's defensive play has been less than stellar on most nights during the past few weeks. They've allowed 103-points or more in 7 of the last 10-games overall.

Any team (Clippers) coming off road wins by 5-points or less in each of their previous 2-games, and they're playing in the first half of their schedule, has seen that team go over the total in 45 of those 57-games (78.9%) since 1996.

New Orleans @ Chicago 8:30 PM ET
Game# 333-334
Play On: Under 54.0 (5*)

This game has all the ear marks of a high scoring game. Both teams love to stretch the field vertically with their passing games, and both defenses are absolutely horrible. It's also a non-divisional prime time game, and those games have played on the high side of the total in the majority of instances this season. The general public is betting the over in this game like its stealing. The Saints are coming off a home favorite SU favorite 41-10 blowout loss at the hands of Carolina Panthers. The loss dropped the Saints record to 5-8 (.385), and the Bears enter with an identical 5-8 mark.

Any team with a total of 36.5 or more in game 9 of the season or beyond, coming off a SU favorite loss by 4 points or more in which they scored 26-points or less, and both teams in the contest have a winning percentage of .250 to .400, has seen that team go under the total in 27 of those 31-games (87.1%) since 1988.

Play On: Under 51.0 (10*)

The Broncos have seen 5 of their last 7-games on the road go under the total when facing a divisional opponent. Denver has turned to more of a balanced offensive attack by running the ball quite a bit more than they did a season ago, or earlier in this season for that matter. I look for the Chargers to establish their running game, and utilize their short passing games in order to control time of possession, and limit the stress their defense will face versus this explosive Denver offense.

Any team (San Diego) with a total of 49.5 or more who has a winning percentage of .777 or less, and they scored 14-points or less in their previous game, versus an opponent with a better than .428 winning percentage who's coming off a home win in their previous game, has seen that team go under the total in 24 of those 26-games (92.3%) since 2005.

The Commodores are allowing 58.0 points per game and have a field goal percentage defense of 36.2%. Vandy is come off a narrow 66-63 home loss to Baylor in their previous game. They've gone under the total in 9 of 10-games during the past 3-seasons, following a loss by 6-points or less.

Play On: Under 203.5 (5*)

The Heat have gone under the total in each of their previous 3-games, and they've scored less than 100-points in 10 of their last 12-games overall. When looking at Miami's defensive field goal percentage (48.1%) for the season, it's certainly not indicative of a good defensive team. However, they've done a terrific job all season of getting opponents to play at the slow pace that they prefer. The Heat is allowing opponents an average of only 76 field goal attempts per game, and that includes 79 or less in 12 of the last 13-games. Miami is averaging just a paltry 74 field goal attempts per game which certainly suggest they've been playing their games at a snail's pace.

The Crimson Tide enters today having seen all 5 of their games go over the number when there's been a posted total. Alabama has scored 74-points or more in each of their first 6-games of the season.

Dallas @ Chicago 8:25 PM ET
Game# 101-102
Play On: Under 51.5 (5*)

Both of these teams have struggled offensively in recent games.

Dallas comes off a dismal offensive performance at home on Thanksgiving in which they scored just 13-points, and looked totally out of sync for the majority of the game. The Cowboys have gone under the total in 5 of 7-games this season when the total is 48.0 or more.

Minnesota has seen 6 of their 8-games on the road this season go over the total, and there was an average of 216.9 points scored in those contests. The Timberwolves woeful defense in those 8-games has been a major contributor, they've allowed an average of 114.0 points, opponents have shot a sizzling 53% from the field, and a scintillating 42.9% from beyond the three-point line.

Portland has seen each of their previous 3-games go over the total with an average of 210.3 points per contest being scored. Although the Blazers are a good defensive team, they won't shy away from the fast paced game that Minnesota prefers to play. Portland has scored 100-points or more in 10 of their first 13-games. Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection.

However, they've gone under the total in 19 of 26-games during the last 3-seasons after allowing opponents to eclipse the century mark in their last 3. Although they've gone over the number in each of their last 5-games, the average total in those contests was only 193.6. The Hawks went under the total last night in their 100-91 win over New Orleans.

Phoenix @ Toronto 7:35 PM ET
Game# 707-708
Play On: Under 208.0 (10*)

This will be the Suns 3rd game in the last 4-days. Tired legs isn't conducive to good shooting on most occasions. Phoenix is coming off SU&ATS wins as a favorite in their previous 2-games. They've gone under the total in all 8-games during the past 2-season following covers as a favorite in each of their last 2-games, and the average combined total points in those contests was 198.6 per outing. The Suns have allowed 86, 96, and 83-points in their last 3-games.

The Raptors are off to a terrific 11-2 start to the season, and the most overlooked part of their early success has been their play on the defensive end of the court. They've allowed 93-points or less in each of their previous 4-games, and have also limited their last 6-opponents to 81 or less field goal attempts.

Game# 519-520
Play On: Over 198.0 (10*)

The Nuggets are an atrocious defensive team which is allowing 107.1 points per game this season, and can make a struggling offensive team like the Thunder look like the Celtics in the Larry Bird era. The Thunder is allowing just 94.3 points per game this season, but allows almost 8-points more per game on the road than at home. You will be hard pressed to get a Denver game with this low of a total any time soon.

Utah @ New York 7:35 PM ET
Game# 707-708
Play On: Over 191.5 (5*)

The Utah Jazz has allowed 69-points or more in 8 of their 9-games this season. The Jazz are a poor -4.6 point per game differential in this early part of the year. The Knicks have gone over the total in 21 of 30-games during the past 2-seasons, versus an opponent with a point per game differential of -3.0 or worse. The average combined score in those 30-games was 200.1 points. The Knicks are coming off a home favorite straight up loss to the Orlando magic in their previous game.

Game# 507-508
Play On: Under 207.0 (5*)

Dallas has seen each of their last 3-games go under the total, and there was an average of 194.0 points scored in those contests. The Mavericks are one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the NBA. However, they will be facing a Kings team that's held opponents to a mere 27.1% shooting from beyond the 3-point line. Dallas is shooting a robust 47% from the field on the season, but they will be hard pressed to attain that tonight versus a Sacramento team which has a field goal percentage defense of 42.0%. Dallas will have their hands full in their attempt to get second chance opportunities on the offense end, consider the Kings are at an average of +10 per game rebound differential.

Sacramento has been the best team in the NBA during this early part of the season of getting to the free throw line. The Kings are averaging 37 free throw attempts per game, and are converting on an excellent 80.8% of those tries. As a matter of fact, 34.6% of the Kings points per game have been generated by made free throws. Otherwise, this is a below average offensive team despite their average of 103.7 points per game scored. The Kings shot a miserable 29.2% from beyond the 3-point line, and have made an average of only 4 makes per game. On another note, Dallas is allowing opponents to get to the free throw line on an average of 19-times per game, and just 18.6% of the points allowed by the Mavericks this season have come from the free throw line.

Any road team with a total of 200.0 to 209.5 that has a winning record, and comes off a road favorite straight up loss, versus an opponent with a winning record, has seen 67 of those 99-games (67.7%) go under the total since 1996. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection.

Game# 711-712
Play On: Under 206.0 (10*)

The Rockets have seen each of their 6-games this season go under the total with an average combined 194.0 points being scored. Golden State has seen both of their road games so far go under the total, and the average combined points scored in those contests was a very low 178.5. I fully realize the both teams are excellent 3-point shooting clubs. However, the Warriors 3-point field defense thus far has been at an excellent 26.9%, and Houston is even a tad better at 26.0%.

Going into tonight's game the Warriors have converted on 40.4% of their 3-point attempts, while the Rockets are at an even better 43.1%. The Warriors are averaging 20-turnovers committed per game, and the Rockets have turned it over an average of 18-times per contest. This sets up a very profitable NBA totals system.

Any game that involves teams that shoot 36.5% or better from beyond the 3-point line, and each team commits an average of 16.5 or more turnovers per game, then 58 of those 82-games (70.7%) have gone under the total since 1996. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

Those 12-games have averaged 186.6 points scored. Although the Raptors defense has left a lot to be desired in this young season, they've held opponents to an extremely low average of 71 field goal attempts over their last 3-games. The Wizards held their previous 2-opponents to an average of 88.5 points and 38% shooting from the field. Washington has limited opponents to 98-points or less in each of their previous 4-games.

The Spurs have seen each of their first 3-games all stay under the total, and they've held opponents to 100-points or less in each of those contests. Granted both of these teams are deadly from beyond the 3-point line. However, the Spurs 3-point field goal percentage defense in their first 3-games is a stellar 28.1%, and the Rockets are a superb 29.1% during the first 5-games.Neither of these clubs like to play at what's considered to be a fast pace. The Spurs average 72 field goal attempts per game, and the Rockets are at 74 in that category.

The Chargers have gone over the total in their last 10-games as an away underdog following a straight up loss. The average total score of those 10-games was 64.5 points. The Dolphins have gone over the total in each of their 4 home games this season. The average score in those 4-games was 51.3 points. The Dolphins will definitely being attacking a banged up Chargers secondary. The Dolphins special teams coverage units have been poor to this point of the season. I look for Philip Rivers to have a huge game in this one, and Ryan Tannehill will do his share to help our cause.

Any non-division away underdog with a total of 50.0 or less, coming off a game in which they scored 21 or more and allowed 35 or more, they went over the total of 48.0 or more in the previous game, has gone 12-0 over the total since 1980.

The Chargers have gone under the total in each of their last 5-games as an away underdog. Those 5-games have averaged a total of 38.4 points. The Broncos have seen their last 4-games versus a division opponent all stay under the total, and there was an average of 44.0 points scored. Both of these teams offenses get the majority of the attention. However, the defensive units of each team is vastly underrated.

Any team (San Diego) playing in a division game, with a total of 50.5 or more, they have a winning percentage of .384 or better, versus an opponent coming off a home win in which they scored 21-points or more, they have a winning percentage of better than .400, and have suffered at least 1-loss on the season, has seen 33 of those 38-games (86.8%) go under the total since 1983.

Minnesota @ Green Bay 8:25 PM ET
Game# 301-302
Play On: Under 48.5 (5*)

The Packers have seen their last 6-games stay under the total, as a division home favorite, and with a total of 45.0 or more. All of those games have occurred since the start of the 2012 season, and they've averaged a combined total score of 38.2 points. The Vikings have gone under the total in 7 of their last 8-games, when the total is 43.0 or more, and they scored 35-points or more in their previous game. The average total points scored in those 8-games was 38.8.

Despite both of these teams offensive outbursts a week ago, Green Bay is 28th in total offense, and the Vikings are 21st. You want to know why the Packers offense has struggled? Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 10-times already this season, and Green Bay is dead last in the NFL pertaining to time of possession at 25:25. The Packers run defense has been the worst in the NFL through the first 4-weeks, and the Vikings are the 8th best rushing offense in the league. I look for the Vikings to hang their hat on their running game, control time of possession, and those factors to greatly contribute to a lower scoring type of game.

Any division away underdog, coming off a home underdog straight up win, versus an opponent coming off an away SU&ATS win that they covered by 4.5 or more, and they scored 24-points or more, has seen 26 of those 32-games (81.3%) go under the total since the start of the 2005 season. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection.

Oakland (Lester) @ Kansas City (Shields)
Game# 945-946
Play On: Over 6.5 (5*)

Although the Royals starter James Shields will be making his 7th postseason start, he’s not fared well in those previous 6-outings as evidenced by his lofty 4.98 ERA. The Royals have speed to burn, and they certainly utilize it to their fullest. Kansas City led all of Major League Baseball with 153 stolen bases during the 2014 season.  Contrarily A's catchers have thrown out 20.3% of runners attempting to steal a base  this season.

The Royals seem to have the difficult task of having to face Jon Lester in this won or done wild card format. However, several of the current Royals have had success against Lester. There are 5 current Royals who are hitting .300 or better in their careers versus Lester.

Granted these are two terrific starting pitchers going at it tonight. However, with such a low total, and some of the supporting data displayed above, I like this one to play on the high side of the number. Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection.

The Rays starter Smyly has seen 4 of his last 5-starts go under the total while posting a very good 2.93 ERA. The Rays have gone over the total in just 1 of their last 7-games. The Tampa pitching has been outstanding of late allowing a total of 10-runs over their last 7-games, or just 1.4 runs per game.

Today's home plate umpire will be Kerwin Danley, and that's significant from a handicapping perspective. Danley has seen 18 of his 22-games (81.9%) this seen go under the total when he's calling balls and strikes, in addition to 55 of 75 (73.3%) going under during the last 3-years when he's behind the dish.

The St. Louis starter John Lackey has faced the Orioles 3-times this season as a former member of the Boston Red Sox. He didn't do well in those outings posting a large 7.02 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. He will be facing an Orioles team that's seen 22 of their 31-games go over the total in the last 2-seasons when facing a National League opponent. The Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez is coming off the DL and this will be his first start since July 5th. Jimenez is 6-12 against the money in 2014 with a lofty 4.52 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. The Orioles hurler has 10-starts in day games this season and posted a pathetic 10.55 ERA and 2.34 WHIP in those outings. This one has all the ear marks of a high scoring affair.

Seattle (Hernandez) @ San Diego (Cashner) 10:05 PM ET
Game# 979-980
Play On: Under 6.0 (5*)

There's a good reason for this total being so low. The Mariners enter tonight having gone over the total in just 1 of their previous 10-games. The Seattle starter Felix Hernandez is off to a spectacular start to the season posting a stellar 2.29 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and an almost 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

The San Diego starter Andrew Cashner has been terrific in 6 home starts this season posting an excellent 1.41 ERA in those outings. He doesn't figure to get much run support as the Padres have amassed just 72-hits total (4.8 hits per game) over their last 15 contests. Not surprisingly the Padres have gone over the total in just 4 of their previous 17-games. The Padres bullpen has been one of the best in all of baseball so far this season.

Any American League team with a total of 7.0 or less that's hitting .260 or less as a team on the season, and has a bullpen ERA of 3.75 or less, versus an opponent with a bullpen ERA of 3.33 or less, has gone under the total in 80 of those 120-games (66.7%) during the past 17 seasons.

Miami @ San Antonio 9:05 PM ET
Play On: Under 198.5 (10*)

These two teams met twice during the regular season and saw the closing totals at 205.0 and 206.5. As you can obviously see the odds-makers have made a major adjustment to this total as compared to what we saw during the 2 regular season meetings. This adjustment has been made all despite the fact that Miami has only gone under the total in 3 of their 15-playoff games in 2014. However, after careful examination you will find the average total score in those 15-games was just 191.2. The Spurs playoff games have averaged 205.2 points per contest, but they've gone under the total in 4 of the last 5, and 6 of their last 8-games. Finally all 3 games played in San Antonio between these two during the 2013 NBA Finals all went over the total. Yet, once again that factor hasn't deterred the books from making a major adjustment to this number.

Any team with a total of 190.0 to 199.5 that scored 110-points or more in each of their previous 2-games, versus an opponent that scored 60-points or more in the 1st half of their previous game, has gone under the total in 24 of 30-games during the past 18 seasons.

San Antonio @ Oklahoma City 9:05 PM ET
Play On: Under 207.0 (5*)

The return of Serge Ibaka to lineup in Game 3 on Sunday made a huge difference on the defensive end for the Thunder. Ibaka played 30-minutes and was able to block 4 shots as well as altering several others. The Thunder have now seen 18 of 26-games the last 2 seasons go under the total when facing an opponent that averages 103-points or more per game. The Thunder have also gone under the total in 11 of 14-games this season as a home favorite of 6.0 or less. After a plethora of games going over the number for the Spurs this postseason, they've now gone under the total in 4 of their previous 5-games, with an average of 200.0 points scored.

Any playoffs Game 4 home favorite with a total of 209.0 or less, that's coming off a home favorite ATS win in which they covered by 12.5 or less, and they scored 90-points or more, has seen 31 of those 41-games (75.6%) go under the total since 1990.

Play On: Over 182.5 (5*)

These teams have combined to shoot the ball very well from beyond the 3-point line in the first 2-games of this series going 31-for-81 (38.3%). Those 2-games have also seen the team shoot a combined 141-for-293 (48.1%) from the field. The teams have seen 5 of their last 6 meetings in Miami go over when the total is 181.0 or more, with an average of 189.2 points scored. This series has seen a 3-days sabbatical since Game 2 which was played last Tuesday.

Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection.

Miami @ Indiana 8:35 PM ET
Play On: Under 185.0 (10*)

The books adjusted this opening total from 182.0  in the series opener to 184.0 after a high scoring 107-96 win by the Pacers. There were a few contributing factors to why we saw Game 1 sail over the total by more than 20-points. Both teams shot a blistering 51% from the field in the game, and it's highly improbable that either team will match that feat let alone both. The Pacers shot 8-19 (42%) from beyond the 3-point line which is definitely an overachieving number as it applies to their average in that category. Indiana was also able to get to the free throw line 37 times in the contest, and I will go out on a limb to predict they won't come remotely close to that many attempts this evening. Both of these clubs are much better defensively than what they displayed on Sunday, and look for that to be a point of emphasis heading into tonight. Despite going over the total in that previous game, the Pacers have gone under the total in 33 of their 46-games this season when the total is 180.0 to 189.5.

Any playoff favorite of 5.5 or less that's coming off a straight up favorite loss in which they allowed 95-points or more in which the game went over the total, and has a winning percentage of .663 or better on the season,  has seen all 12 of those games go under the total since the 1990 playoffs.

The Indians Kluber was very good in 3 home starts versus the Tigers last season posting 2.25 ERA and a 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Indians will be facing southpaw starter Smyly this evening, and that doesn't bode well for "The Tribe". Cleveland is hitting a dismal .213 as a team this season in 15-games when facing a left-handed starting pitcher. The Indians are coming off a 13-3 loss to Oakland yesterday. Cleveland has gone under the total in 16 of their 20-games during the last 2 seasons following a game in which there was 15-runs or more combined scored.

The Washington starter Roarke has been very good over his last 4 starts with a 2.63 ERA, a 0.84 WHIP, and an almost 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

The public betting on the total in this contest has been overwhelmingly on the over.

San Antonio @ Portland 10:35 PM ET

Play On: Under 210.5 (10*)

The oddsmakers have adjusted this total a bit compared to the last 2-games. The number opened at 212.0 and is down to 210.5 despite the public overwhelmingly wagering on this to be a high scoring affair. You can't blame the public opinion in that regards considering the high scoring nature of the last 2-games. Portland knows they have to clamp down defensively if they're to have any chance of winning a game in this series. The Blazers have also averaged just 97.8 points, and shot a cool 42% from the field over their last 5-games. Both of those numbers are well below their season averages.

After getting off to a horrific start to the series versus San Jose, the Kings reestablished their stingy defensive style of play  especially during the final 3-games in which they allowed a mere 2-goals total. The Kings finished off the Sharks with a 5-1 win in Game 7. That's significant because they've gone under the total in all 7-games this season following a game in which they scored 5-goals or more.

Sharks @ Kings 10:35 PM ET
Play On: Under 5.0 (10*)

This is a very proud Kings team that was thoroughly embarrassed by allowing 13-goals in the first two games of this series. The Kings hadn't allowed more than 5-goals in any of their 82 regular season games this season, and did so in each of the games in this series. Jonathan Quick inexplicably struggled terribly in the first 2-games posting an atrocious .815 save percentage. Quick is one of the best in the world and you can count on him to come up big at home.

Prior to the offensive onslaught displayed by the Sharks in the first 2-games of the series, they had only scored 8-goals total in 5 regular season meetings with the Kings.
