Golden State has been one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, especially on the road. Of their 12 away games so far this year, the Warriors have allowed 120 points or more in seven of them.

A trio of players lead Miami in scoring with at least 12.9 points per game. Guard Dejan Vasiljevic leads the way with 13.9 points per contest while shooting 50% from the field and 43.9% from the three-point line.

Illinois has won four games in a row, but they played the likes of Hampton and Lindenwood during that stretch of victories. To open the season, the Fighting Illini needed overtime to defeat Nicholls. Illinois has allowed 70 points or more four times this season.

On average, the Fighting Illini are scoring 88.3 points while allowing 68.1 points per game.

The Magic owns a losing record, but own a 6-4 record at home. Like the Warriors, Orlando has lost four of their last five contests. In three of those losses, the Magic scored only 97 points or fewer. In half of their 10 home games, Orlando has scored 95 points or fewer.

On average, the Magic are scoring 101.1 points while allowing 102.3 points per game.

The Magic are often involved in defensive, low-scoring games, so it isn’t a huge surprise to see that Evan Fournier leads team with just 18.4 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Colorado State -7½ -109

Looking to build on a solid start to the season, the Colorado State Rams (5-3) will host the Utah Valley Wolverines (4-4) this afternoon.

If the Bengals (0-11) will avoid a winless season, they’ll need a win over the last five weeks. Up first will be the Jets (4-7), who will travel into Cincinnati Sunday afternoon.

After struggling throughout the majority of the season, the Jets have finally come on strong with three wins in a row over the Giants, Redskins, and Raiders. They’ve been incredibly consistent on offense recently, posting 34 points in each of those three wins.

On average, the Jets are scoring 18 points per game on 285 yards of offense while allowing 24 points per game on 337 yards.

Quarterback Sam Darnold has been a huge reason for New York’s recent spell of success. Darnold has thrown for at least 230 yards in each of his past four games, and put up 315 yards through the air last week against Oakland.

After trying out Ryan Finley at quarterback for a few weeks, the Bengals are turning back to Andy Dalton to lead their offense. Cincinnati hasn’t scored more than 13 points with Finley under center. Meanwhile, Cincy scored at least 17 points in six of Dalton’s eight starts at QB.

On average, the Bengals are scoring 14 points per game on 328 yards of offense while allowing 27 points per game on 426 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Army/Hawaii under55½ -110

One of the last college football games to be played this weekend will be the Army Black Knights (5-6) on the road taking on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (8-4). The over/under is set at 55.5 points.

Army has won each of their last two games versus UMass and VMI, but they lost five in a row prior to that pair of victories. Throughout that run of five losses, the Black Knights scored more than 21 points just twice.

On average, Army is scoring 30 points per game on 385 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 323 yards.

Army has been forced to bounce back and forth between quarterbacks all year, and none of them have been particularly effective through the air in this offense. Army has played nine games in which the quarterback has failed to throw for at least 100 yards.

Traditionally, Hawaii is a high-scoring offense. While that’s been true for most of the year, it hasn’t been the case over the past couple of games. While winning against UNLV and San Diego State, Hawaii scored no more than 21 points and given up no more than 11 points.

On average, the Rainbow Warriors are scoring 34 points per game on 479 yards of offense while allowing 32 points per game on 421 yards of offense.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Islanders -150

The Blue Jackets (11-10-4, 26 points) have the tough task of going on the road to play their second game in as many days. They’ll be taking on the Islanders (16-5-2, 34 points) in New York.

The Blue Jackets haven’t played a game away from home since November 23rd, and have lost three away games in a row. Columbus owns a record of 3-4-3 on the road. Most recently, Columbus defeated Pittsburgh by a score of 5-2.

On average, the Blue Jackets are scoring 2.64 goals per game (26th) while allowing 3.08 goals per game (tied for 19th).

With goaltender Joonas Korpisalo having played last night and in each of Columbus’ last three game, it’s likely that Elvis Merzlikins will get the start. Merzlikins has allowed 3.54 goals a game with an .890 save percentage. He also has no wins, two losses, and three overtime losses.

The Islanders have lost three in a row, but will be at home for this one. On their own ice, the Islanders are 10-2-1 on the season. In fact, New York is on a nine-game winning streak at home.

On average, the Islanders are scoring 2.91 goals per game (18th) while allowing 2.52 goals per game (4th).

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Oregon State/Oregon under66½ -110

While it might not make up for losing a shot at the College Football Playoff, a win over the Oregon State Beavers (5-6) would be a great way to end the regular season for the #14 Oregon Ducks (9-2). The over/under is set at 66.5 points.

Oregon State has dropped two of their past three, the last of which was an uncharacteristically high-scoring game against Washington State. In their other recent loss, the Beavers only scored seven points in a loss to Washington.

Oregon will be keen to get back on the field and make up for a 31-28 loss to Arizona State last week. While the Ducks can score points, their defense has won them several games this year. Oregon’s opponent has scored seven points or fewer in six games this year.

On average, the Ducks are scoring 37 points per game on 460 yards while allowing 16 points per game on 326 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on SIU-Edwardsville +12½ -110

Edwardsville has lost each of their past three games, but they recently fell to Northern Illinois by only four points. Because the Cougars are getting 12.5 points in today’s contest, it’s worth noting that Edwardsville has fallen by more than 13 points in just three of their seven games.

With starting quarterback Ross Bowers questionable to take part in this contest, we’re likely to see Marcus Childers under center once again. Last week, Childers only managed 99 yards passing.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Ravens/Rams over46½ -110

While the Ravens (8-2) continue to prove they’re a Super Bowl threat, the Rams (6-4) are struggling to stay in the NFC playoff race. Tonight, these two teams will go head to head in Los Angeles. The over/under is set at 46.5 points.

Since a pair of losses to Kansas City and Cleveland, Baltimore has ripped off six wins in a row. The most impressive of the bunch was a 37-20 win over New England. Baltimore has scored at least 30 points in each of their past four games, and at least 41 points in each of their past two.

On average, the Ravens are scoring 34 points per game on 437 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 349 yards.

MVP candidate Lamar Jackson is the key to both the passing and running games for Baltimore. On top of throwing for 2,258 yards, 19 touchdowns, and five picks, Jackson has rushed for 781 yards and six touchdowns on the ground.

Despite their winning record, the Rams are currently third in the NFC West. However, they’ve won three of their past four games. Out of their last three wins, Los Angeles has scored 24 points or more in two of them.

On average, the Rams are scoring 24 points per game on 378 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 341 yards.

Offensively, Los Angeles has scored 27 points or more on five occasions. Defensively, the Rams have allowed 27 points or more three times this year.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Blues +120

While the Blues (14-5-5, 33 points) sit atop the Central standings, the Predators (10-9-3, 23 points) are in the bottom three. Tonight, the Preds will host the Blues in Nashville.

St. Louis is leading the division in large part because they’ve been able to earn an away record of 7-2-2. The Blues are coming off a 4-2 defeat to Nashville, but won two in a row prior to that contest, and will be looking for revenge. In those two recent wins, St. Louis outscored their opponents 8-1.

On average, the Blues are scoring 3.00 goals per game (15th) while allowing 2.67 goals per game (6th).

David Perron leads the team with 22 points from the left wing position by racking up 10 goals and 12 assists. Jordan Binnington has won 11 games from between the pipes by allowing 2.23 goals per game with a .926 save percentage.

The Predators may have taken down St. Louis in their most recent contest, but they lost six straight before that. Nashville allowed five goals or more in four of those six losses, including a 9-4 loss to Colorado. Nashville has scored more than three goals just twice in their last seven games.

On average, the Predators are scoring 3.55 goals per game (3rd) while allowing 3.36 goals per game (26th).

Both Nashville goaltenders are allowing at least 3.06 goals per game, and neither has a better save percentage than .891.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Pacers -9 -109

Although they’re often lost amongst the Eastern Conference favorites, the Pacers (9-6) have gotten off to a nice start. Tonight, the Pacers will host the Grizzlies (5-10) in Indiana.

Memphis is coming off a four-game home stretch in which they only managed a single victory. After taking down the Jazz by one point, the Grizzlies lost to the Nuggets, Warriors, and Lakers. Only the loss to Los Angeles was close.

On average, the Grizzlies are scoring 108.9 points while allowing 117.8 points per game.

Ja Morant has continued a strong rookie campaign by putting up 19.1 points per game. However, Memphis doesn’t offer much else on the offensive end. Jaren Jackson Jr. is the next leading scorer with his 14.4 points per game.

The Pacers now trail only Milwaukee in the Central division. Most recently, Indiana took down Brooklyn and Orlando in back-to-back games. With strong defensive efforts, the Pacers have allowed 102 points or fewer in four of their last six games.

On average, the Pacers are scoring 107.7 points while allowing 103.3 points per game.

A pair of Indiana players are leading the line on offense. Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis are averaging 19.2 points and 19.1 points per game, respectively. Sabonis is also pulling down 13.4 rebounds per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Georgia Tech +1½ -110

The Arkansas Razorbacks (5-0) have rushed out to a perfect start through five games. Tonight, they’ll go on the road for the first time this season to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (2-1).

Arkansas may have five wins out of their first five, but they certainly haven’t played the toughest schedule in the world. All at home, the Razorbacks have defeated Rice, North Texas, Montana, Texas Southern, and South Dakota. However, it’s hard to fault Arkansas after winning each game by 18 points or more.

On average, the Razorbacks are scoring 76 points while allowing 47.8 points per game.

A trio of Razorbacks are scoring at least 14 points per game. Both Isaiah Joe and Mason Jones are averaging 17.4 points a game for Arkansas.

Georgia Tech has tested themselves early in the season, and it’s resulted in a hard-fought overtime win and a close loss to undefeated Georgia on the road. After taking down NC State in the season opener, the Yellow Jackets also earned a comfortable victory over Elon.

On average, the Yellow Jackets are scoring 74.7 points while allowing 68 points per game.

Guard Michael Devoe has been nearly unstoppable on the offensive end of the floor. While hitting 73.3% of his three-pointers, Devoe has averaged 26 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Hurricanes -165

Both the Hurricanes (14-8-1, 29 points) and Red Wings (7-15-3, 17 points) will be playing their second game in as many days when they face off in Detroit tonight.

With an away record of 6-4-1, Carolina has earned the third spot in the Metropolitan division. Starting with an 8-2 demolition of Ottawa, the Hurricanes have won five of their last six. Carolina has scored 28 goals over that stretch of games.

On average, the Hurricanes are scoring 3.48 goals per game (7th) while allowing 2.96 goals per game (14th).

Right winger Andrei Svechnikov leads the way for Carolina on offense. With 15 assists in addition to his 11 goals, Svechnikov tops the Hurricanes with 26 points.

The Red Wings are one of the worst teams in hockey, and they’ve proven that lately by dropping five straight. The most recent loss came against one of the other dreadful teams in the NHL, as Detroit lost to New Jersey by a score of 5-1.

On average, the Red Wings are scoring 2.36 goals per game (31st) while allowing 3.80 goals per game (31st).

Detroit goaltender Jonathan Bernier is allowing 3.30 goals per game with his .890 save percentage. Anthony Mantha has scored 12 goals and assisted 11 times for a team-high 23 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Nets -2 -109

The Knicks (4-12) have earned three of their four wins at home. That’s where they’ll be today when they host the visiting Nets (7-8).

Brooklyn is set to be without Kyrie Irving for this contest, but he’s missed the last four games of which the Nets have won three. They’re also coming off back-to-back wins with impressive defensive efforts to hold Charlotte to 91 points and Sacramento to 97 points.

On average, the Nets are scoring 113.7 points while allowing 115.3 points per game.

Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen have picked up the slack in Irving’s absence. Allen is averaging just 10.4 points per game, but put up a team-high 22 points against the Hornets. Dinwiddie has been the leading scorer in the three other games without Irving, and is averaging 18.9 points per game.

The Knicks have lost three of their last four, but their bad run of form could be the least of their problems. New York will be playing the second game of a back-to-back after losing 111-104 to the Spurs yesterday, and will be facing a team they lost to once already.

On average, the Knicks are scoring 102.1 points while allowing 109 points per game.

New York has scored 106 points or fewer 13 times this year. That’s largely because they don’t have a dominant scorer on the roster. Marcus Morris leads the way with just 18.9 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Villanova -2 -110

A late Saturday afternoon affair pits two ranked teams with identical records against one another as the #17 Villanova Wildcats (4-1) go on the road to take on the #24 Baylor Bears (4-1).

Villanova started the year with a .500 record after taking down Army and dropping a 76-51 contest to #16 Ohio State. Since then, the Wildcats have won three straight against Ohio, Middle Tennessee State, and Mississippi State. Villanova has scored 83 points or more three times, and 97 points or more twice.

On average, the Wildcats are scoring 81.4 points while allowing 65.8 points per game.

Villanova has plenty of scorers on the roster. In total, six players are averaging double-digit points so far this year. Forward Saddiq Bey is hitting 55% of his three while averaging 13.2 points per game. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is scoring 14.2 points per game.

Baylor followed a similar path to 4-1, dropping their second contest of the year. They’ve since won three in a row of their own while putting up between 72 and 77 points in each.

On average, the Bears are scoring 78.8 points while allowing 61.8 points per game.

Baylor relies heavily on Jared Butler and MaCio Teague to carry them offensively. Butler is scoring 18.8 points per game and Teague is adding another 15.2 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Panthers/Saints under46½ -110

The NFL’s Sunday afternoon slate of games will include an NFC South matchup between the Panthers (5-5) and Saints (8-2) in New Orleans. The over/under is set at 46.5 points.

Carolina’s strong start to the season has sputtered with three losses over their last four games. Two of those losses were blowouts, including a 51-13 defeat to San Francisco and a bad 29-3 defeat to Atlanta last week. Carolina scored 16 points or fewer in each of those three losses.

On average, the Panthers are scoring 23 points per game on 375 yards of offense while allowing 26 points per game on 383 yards.

While the Panthers have one of the best running backs in the league, Christian McCaffrey, they’ll be facing the third-best run defense in the league today. McCaffrey has rushed for 1,059 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season. Last week, however, he only managed 70 yards on the ground.

The Saints will be at home where they’ve earned a record of 4-1 this year. Their lone loss in New Orleans came two weeks ago in a shocking 26-9 upset by the Falcons. Despite being an NFC favorite, New Orleans has scored 13 points or fewer in four contests this season.

On average, the Saints are scoring 24 points per game on 378 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 336 yards.

The Saints D is giving up just 318 net yards per game, which ranks sixth among all NFL teams. They’re also fourth in the NFL with eight takeaways.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Liberty +17 -109

The Virginia Cavaliers (7-3) look like the most likely opponent for Clemson in the ACC Championship Game. Saturday night, the Cavaliers will be taking on the Liberty Flames (6-4).

Liberty started of the year with a pair of losses to #22 Syracuse and the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. Since then, the Flames have been very good, earning a record of 6-2 with impressive wins over Buffalo, New Mexico, and New Mexico State. Liberty has scored 59 points or more on three occasions.

On average, the Flames are scoring 33 points per game on 443 yards of offense while allowing 27 points per game on 424 yards.

Liberty is led by the arm of quarterback Stephen Calvert, who’s thrown for 2,941 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just three interceptions. Calvert has thrown for at least 300 yards in six games this year.

Virginia has won three of their last four games, giving themselves a chance to reach a conference championship game. However, they’ve given up 28 points or more in each of their last three contests.

On average, the Cavaliers are scoring 31 points per game on 369 yards of offense while allowing 23 points on 316 yards.

The running game has been lacking for Virginia. Quarterback Bryce Perkins leads the team with 493 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the ground.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Colorado State/Wyoming over50½ -109

The Wyoming Cowboys (6-4) and Colorado State Rams (4-6) own identical records of 3-3 within the Mountain West Conference. Tonight, Wyoming will host a contest between the two. The over/under is set at 50.5 points.

Colorado State didn’t have enough to keep up with Air Force in their most recent game, but they won three in a row before that. In each of those three wins, the Rams scored 35 points or more. Colorado State has scored 31 points or more in seven of their 10 games.

On average, the Rams are scoring 31 points on 460 yards of offense while allowing 33 points per game on 391 yards.

Colorado State quarterback Patrick O’Brien has thrown for at least 322 yards in three of his past four games. On the season, O’Brien has thrown for 10 touchdowns and four picks.

Starting with an overtime loss to #22 Boise State, Wyoming has lost two straight. Prior to this short losing streak, the Cowboys scored 23 in a win over New Mexico and 31 in a win over Nevada.

On average, the Cowboys are scoring 27 points per game on 354 yards of offense while allowing 19 points per game on 380 yards.

Running back Xazavian Valladay and quarterback Sean Chambers lead the Wyoming rushing attack. While Valladay has gone for 869 yards and five touchdowns, Chambers has rushed for 567 yards and 10 TDs.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Pistons -6 -110

The Hawks (4-10) and Pistons (4-10) will put their identical records on the line for a matchup this evening in Detroit.

Atlanta enters this evening’s game as losers of four in a row, three of which were on the road. However, it’s been a tough schedule for the Hawks recently, as they’ve dropped contests against the Suns, Clippers, Lakers, and Bucks. The more worrying aspect of that losing streak is that Atlanta allowed at least 122 points in each game.

On average, the Hawks are scoring 107.6 points while allowing 116.9 points per game.

Trae Young leads Atlanta with his 26.8 points and 8.6 assists per game, but he’s also turning the ball over 4.8 times a game. Beyond Young, no Hawks player is averaging more than 17 points a game.

Since a 122-102 win over the Knicks, the Pistons have lost five straight. However, four of those five losses were on the road, and the Pistons will be at home tonight. On the bright side, Detroit allowed no more than 120 points in any of those losses while scoring at least 106 points of their own on four occasions.

On average, the Pistons are scoring 107.3 points while allowing 112 points per game.

As Blake Griffin gets back into the swing of the NBA season, the Pistons have four players who are scoring at least 17 points a night. Andre Drummond has led the charge thus far, averaging 18.6 points and 16.8 rebounds per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Devils +145

While the Penguins (11-7-4, 26 points) are fighting to stay in the top half of the Metropolitan, the Devils (7-9-4, 18 points) are stuck at the bottom of the division. These two teams will square off tonight in Pittsburgh.

After starting the season with six-straight losses, New Jersey hasn’t been nearly as bad. In fact, the Devils have won five of their last nine games, including one overtime win and one shootout win. After splitting time between the two goaltenders, New Jersey has found more consistency with Mackenzie Blackwood in net.

On average, the Devils are scoring 2.50 goals per game (29th) while allowing 3.55 goals per game (30th).

Blackwood has now won seven games for New Jersey while allowing 2.95 goals per game on an .899 save percentage. Taylor Hall leads the team with 17 points, 15 of which came by way of assisting other players.

The Penguins have hit their roughest patch of the season. Pittsburgh has lost four of its last five, three of which came in overtime. Including overtime goals, the Penguins have allowed 14 goals in those four losses.

On average, the Penguins are scoring 3.32 goals per game (tied for 9th) while allowing 2.68 goals per game (6th).

Although Pittsburgh is at home this evening, they’ll be playing their second game in as many nights while the Devils haven’t played since Tuesday.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on IUPU Ft Wayne +26 -109

The #10 Ohio State Buckeyes (4-0) are set to host their fifth-straight home game of the season with the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons (2-4) coming to town.

Fort Wayne has already racked up four losses and an 0-3 away record, but they’ve also won two of their last five and are getting 26 points tonight against the Buckeyes. Two of Fort Wayne’s four losses have come by just four points or fewer, including a 79-78 loss to SE Missouri State.

On average, the Mastodons are scoring 77.8 points while allowing 76.5 points per game.

Three scorers power the Fort Wayne offense. While Brian Patrick and Jarred Godfrey lead the way with 15.5 points per game each, Matt Holba is adding another 13.8 points per game while hitting 42.5% of his threes.

The Buckeyes have ripped off four wins in a row to get the season started, all of which have come at home. However, Ohio State has allowed at least 51 points in every contest while they’ve scored more than 76 points of their own just once.

On average, the Buckeyes are scoring 75.5 points while allowing 53.5 points per game.

26 points is a lot to be giving up for a team that only has three players scoring more than 10 points a game, none of which are hitting 12 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Suns -4 -110

With only two games on the NBA’s Thursday slate, the late offering will feature the Pelicans (5-9) and Suns (7-6) in Phoenix.

Although Phoenix hasn’t been able to keep up their form after a great start to the season, they’re still 5-4 at home. The Suns have lost three of their last four, but only failed to score at least 115 points in one of those games. Phoenix has also been very good against weaker competition, as the majority of their losses have come against future playoff teams.

On average, the Suns are scoring 115 points and allowing 110.4 points per game.

Devin Booker has been on an All-Star level for most of this season. Booker leads the team with 25.4 points per game while adding 5.9 assists. Ricky Rubio leads Phoenix with 8.1 assists per game in addition to his 12.5 points per contest.

Although they’re still not yet at full strength, the Pelicans have managed to win three of their last four games. However, all three wins were in New Orleans and the lone loss in that stretch was an away game at Miami.

On average, the Pelicans are scoring 115.6 points and allowing 118.9 points per game.

Over New Orleans’ last seven games, a Pelican has scored more than 27 points just once.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Coyotes -110

The Coyotes (13-7-2, 28 points) are set for their third-straight home game. The Maple Leafs (9-10-4, 22 points) are set for their third-straight road game as they go into Arizona.

Toronto is stuck in the middle of the Atlantic division, and a big reason for that mediocrity is their 3-7-0 away record. The Maple Leafs have lost all of their last six games, four of which came on the road. In those six games, Toronto allowed 27 total goals.

On average, the Maple Leafs are scoring 3.13 goals per game (13th) while allowing 3.43 goals per game (24th).

While goaltender Frederik Andersen has earned nine wins, he’s allowing 2.76 goals per game with a .912 save percentage.

The Coyotes have been climbing the Pacific standings, and now sit behind only Edmonton. A large part of that ascent has been their recent run of four wins out of five games. While scoring at least three goals in each of those four wins, Arizona took down Washington and St. Louis via shootout.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.77 goals per game (tied for 21st) while allowing 2.23 goals per game (1st).

Arizona owns the best defensive record in the NHL, and goaltender Darcy Kuemper deserves a great deal of credit for that. With a .937 save percentage, Kuemper has allowed 1.85 goals per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on NC State/Georgia Tech under49 -109

A pair of disappointing years have left the NC State Wolfpack (4-6) and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (2-8) in the bottom half of the ACC. They’ll face off tonight with the over/under set at 49 points.

The Wolfpack enter this evening’s contest as losers of their last four games. They put up 24 against Boston College, but NC State has failed to score more than 20 points in five of their last six contests.

On average, the Wolfpack are scoring 23 points per game on 381 yards of offense while allowing 29 points on 377 yards.

Since Devin Leary has taken over at quarterback, he’s thrown for 894 yards, six touchdowns, and three picks. The big issue for Leary is that all four starts have been losses. And in two of those losses, Leary threw for 166 yards or fewer.

NC State has been bad, but Georgia Tech has been even worse. They’ve lost three straight, but that could have easily been eight losses in a row if an overtime win over Miami had ended differently. The Yellow Jackets have scored 10 points or fewer in two of their last three games.

On average, Georgia Tech is scoring 17 points per game on 290 yards of offense while allowing 31 points per game on 411 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Coastal Carolina +5 -110

The Utah Utes (3-0) are looking to stay perfect through their first four games of the season, but they’ll be on the road to take on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (2-2) this evening.

Utah has yet to come up against an opponent they haven’t been able to dispatch. Starting with an impressive win over Nevada, the Utes then scored 143 points in a win over Mississippi Valley and took down Minnesota by four. Two of Utah’s wins have come by five points or fewer.

On average, the Utes are scoring 98.3 points and allowing 64 points per game.

Against Minnesota, Utah allowed three double-digit scorers, including 21 points to Daniel Oturu. The Utes had four double-digit scorers themselves, including 19 points from both Timmy Allen and Both Gach.

A grand total of two points have kept the Chanticleers from a perfect record through four games. While they’ve beaten up on Middle Tennessee State and Hampden-Sydney, Coastal Carolina has suffered one-point losses to Campbell and Northern Kentucky.

On average, the Chanticleers are scoring 84.3 points and allowing 70.5 points per game.

Five Coastal Carolina players are scoring 11 points or more per game. Guard Tyrell Gumbs-Frater leads the way with 16.3 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Boise State +1½ -115

A tough start to the season has left the Boise State Broncos (1-2) with a losing record through three games. Tonight, the Broncos will play host to the BYU Cougars (3-1).

The Cougars will play just their second road game of the season after barely taking down Houston in a 72-71 contest five days ago. Before that, BYU defeated CSU Fullerton and Southern Utah, but lost to San Diego State by five in between.

On average, the Cougars are scoring 71.8 points per game while allowing 67 points per game.

Three Cougars are scoring 12.5 points or more, led by Jake Toolson’s 15.3 points per contest. While shooting 60% from three, guard Alex Barcello is adding another 13 points per game.

After destroying Life Pacific in a 126-49 contest, Boise State had the misfortune of going up against Oregon and UC Irvine. Both of those games resulted in losses, the latter of which came by a margin of nine points.

On average, the Broncos are scoring 87 points and allowing 74.7 points per game.

Guard Derrick Alston is the leading scorer for Boise State with 25 points per game. RJ Williams is perhaps the most important Bronco thus far with his 16 points and 11 rebounds per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Rangers +165

The Washington Capitals (16-3-4, 36 points) are well atop the Metropolitan division, but they’ll have to go on the road to take on a well-rested Rangers team (8-8-2, 18 points) this evening.

The Capitals last played two days ago when they defeated Anaheim by a score of 5-2. That victory was one of three over Washington’s last four games. However, the Capitals’ other two victories came by a single goal each and they lost to Montreal by three.

On average, the Capitals are scoring 3.74 goals per game (1st) while allowing 2.96 goals per game (17th).

While Alex Ovechkin leads Washington with his 15 goals, no player has done more damage than defenseman John Carlson, who’s racked up eight goals and 27 assists for a team-high 35 points.

The Rangers have lost three of their last four, but the last two of that stretch were on the road against Tampa Bay and Florida. At home, New York is 5-4-2. The Rangers have scored at least three goals in each of their last six games.

On average, the Rangers are scoring 3.33 goals per game (tied for 9th) and allowing 3.61 goals per game (30th).

The biggest advantage for New York, apart from playing at home, is that they haven’t played since the 16th, meaning they’ve had two extra days of rest compared to Washington.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Hornets +4 -105

The Nets (5-8) won’t be at full strength this evening when they host the Hornets (6-8) in Brooklyn, yet they’re giving four points to the visitors.

Charlotte isn’t tearing up the NBA, but they’re a decent 3-4 on the road. Most recently, the Hornets have won two of their last three. Before losing to the Raptors, Charlotte defeated Detroit by three and New York by one.

On average, the Hornets are scoring 105.9 points per game while allowing 113.6 points per game.

Charlotte likes to score by committee. Of the five players averaging 11 points or more, Devonte Graham leads the way with his 18.3 points per game. Terry Rozier is adding another 16.4 points per game.

After a huge offseason, it looks like the Nets will have to wait until next year to truly reap the rewards. A mediocre start to the season has gotten worse as Brooklyn has dropped four of their last five. Over that stretch, Brooklyn was held to 93 points or fewer twice.

On average, the Nets are scoring 114.5 points and allowing 118.5 points per game.

Kyrie Irving is set to miss his third-straight game, which means the Nets will struggle to replace his 28.5 points per contest. They’ll aim to do so with Spencer Dinwiddie, who’s averaging 18.5 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Akron/Miami-OH under44 -109

The Akron Zips (0-10) are still in search of their first victory of the season. They’ll get one of their last two chances to do so this evening against the Miami of Ohio Redhawks (6-4). The over/under is set at 44 points.

Of Akron’s 10 losses this year, only the 37-29 defeat at the hands of UMass was a one-score game. The Zips have failed to score more than seven points on six occasions thus far. Even worse, Akron has scored just three points or fewer in four of their games.

On average, the Zips are scoring 11 points per game on 263 yards of offense while allowing 36 points per game on 400 yards.

The weakest part of this Akron offense is the running game. While the Zips have three players with at least 100 rushing yards, none of those three have more than Brandon Lee’s 177 yards. Combined, those three leading rushers have only a single touchdown between them.

Miami of Ohio has hit their best stretch of the season with four-straight wins. While scoring no more than 27 in three of those four victories, the Redhawks held their opponents to 24 points or fewer in all four. In their most recent contest, Miami held Bowling Green to three points.

On average, the Redhawks are scoring 25 points per game on 307 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 381 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Kings -2 -109

Although they trail the two LA teams, the Suns (7-5) have been a pleasant surprise through 12 games. Tonight, they’ll try to continue that run against the Kings (5-7) in Sacramento.

Phoenix started with five wins out of seven, but they’ve since lost three of five. Over those last five contests, the Suns have allowed at least 112 points in four of them. Against Boston in their most recent game, Phoenix scored only 85 points.

On average, the Suns are scoring 114.9 points while allowing 109.6 points per game.

In three of Phoenix’ last five games, the team’s leading scorer put up 23 points or fewer. Devin Booker leads the Suns with 25 points per game.

The Kings suffered through the early part of the season, but they’ve now won three of their last four. Defense has led the way over that good stretch, as Sacramento has held three of their last four opponents to 99 points.

On average, the Kings are scoring 104.4 points while allowing 108.4 points per game.

Buddy Hield has proven himself as an NBA scorer after his prolific college basketball career. On average, Hield is scoring 19.9 points per game to lead the Kings.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on New Mexico +1 -110

Both the New Mexico Lobos and UTEP Miners are undefeated. That will change for one of these teams after tonight’s game between the two on UTEP’s home floor.

New Mexico has kicked the year off with four-straight wins, and the most impressive part has been their offensive consistency. In each of those four contests, the Lobos have scored between 90 and 97 points while holding every opponent to 80 points or fewer.

On average, the Lobos are scoring 93 points while allowing 74.8 points per game.

Guard JaQuan Kyle leads the Lobos with his 19 points per game, much of which has come on the back of his 52.4% shooting percentage from beyond the arc. Kyle is also adding 6.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game. Four other New Mexico players are averaging at least 11.8 points per game.

UTEP has won all three of its games played thus far, which came against New Mexico Highlands, New Mexico State, and Eastern New Mexico. The Miners were held to just 65 points against New Mexico State.

On average, the Miners are scoring 76.3 points per game while allowing 59 point per game.

UTEP has just three players averaging 10 points or more, led by the 16 points per game of forward Bryson Williams.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Predators -175

The Jets (12-8-1, 25 points) are currently four points clear of the Predators (9-7-3, 21 points) in the Central. Tonight, the Preds will play host to Winnipeg in Nashville.

Winnipeg has now won four of its last five, one of which came in overtime and three of which were decided by a single goal. In the middle of that stretch, the Jets were shut out in a 4-0 game against Colorado. Winnipeg is yet to score more than four goals in any of their last 16 games.

On average, the Jets are scoring 2.71 goals per game (23rd) while allowing 3.00 goals per game (17th).

With eight goals and 12 assists, center Mark Scheifele leads the Jets with 20 points. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has won nine games with a save percentage of .927.

The Predators are due for a win after losing four straight, three of which came on the road. Nashville will be happy to be at home, where they can boast a 6-3-2 record.

On average, the Predators are scoring 3.68 goals per game (3rd) while allowing 3.37 goals per game (22nd).

The Predators win games by outscoring opponents with an offensive onslaught, and that offense can boast five players with six or more goals. Defenseman Roman Josi leads the team with 20 points on seven goals and 13 assists.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Northern Illinois -4 -110

Stuck in the middle of a compact and crowded Mid-American Conference are the Eastern Michigan Eagles (5-5) and Northern Illinois Huskies (4-6). These two teams will face off in Illinois this evening.

Eastern Michigan has won two of their last four games. Most recently, the Eagles defeated the Akron Zips by a score of 42-14. One of the two losses came to a good Buffalo team, and the other was a three-point overtime loss to Toledo.

On average, the Eagles are scoring 28 points per game on 389 yards of offense while allowing 31 points per game on 435 yards.

Eastern Michigan quarterback Mike Glass III has been good throughout the year. While completing 65.2% of his passes, Glass has thrown for 2,237 yards with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The Huskies dropped four in a row earlier on this season, but have since won three of five. Most recently, Northern Illinois shut out Akron, were shut out by Central Michigan, and then earned a three-point win over Toledo last week.

On average, the Huskies are scoring 24 points per game on 371 yards of offense while allowing 28 points per game on 386 yards.

The Northern Illinois offense has struggled mightily at times, and much of that can be attributed to quarterback Ross Bowers. On the season, Bowers has completed just 57.8% of his passes and has one more interception (8) than touchdowns (7).

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Coyotes -155

While the Kings (8-11-1, 17 points) occupy the basement of the Pacific division, the Coyotes (12-7-2, 26 points) are on the heels of the first-place Oilers. Tonight, the Kings and Coyotes will face off in Arizona.

Los Angeles may not be the most feared team in the NHL, but they’ve managed to win each of their last three games. However, that good run was preceded by three-straight losses. On seven separate occasions, the Kings have allowed five goals or more.

On average, the Kings are scoring 2.65 goals per game (tied for 25th) while allowing 3.60 goals per game (29th).

With seven goals, 15 assists, and 22 points, center Anze Kopitar leads the Kings in all major offensive categories. Goaltending is an issue for Los Angeles, as Jack Campbell has the best numbers by allowing 3.11 goals per game with an .886 save percentage.

With a win this evening, the Coyotes would pull within a single point of Edmonton for the division lead. Arizona has now won three of their last four games, three of which came on the road. Over those four games, the Coyotes scored 12 total goals.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.76 goals per game (21st) while allowing 2.33 goals per game (tied for 1st).

With nine wins, Darcy Kuemper has proven himself to be one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. With a save percentage of .937, Kuemper is allowing just 1.85 goals per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Chiefs -4 -110

Tonight’s Monday Night Football offering will have a special twist as the Chiefs (6-4) and Chargers (4-6) will take the field in the Estadio Azteca for a game in Mexico City.

After starting the year off with four wins in a row, Kansas City has now lost four of their last six. Although one of those losses came with quarterback Patrick Mahomes sidelined with an injury, Mahomes was on the field for last week’s 35-32 loss at the hands of Tennessee.

On average, the Chiefs are scoring 28 points per game on 419 yards of offense while allowing 24 points per game on 393 yards.

Defense has been Kansas City’s biggest issue all year long. In each of their last three losses, the Chiefs have allowed 31 points or more. However, this high-powered offense looks ready to get it going again after a 446-yard day from Mahomes against the Titans.

Before last week’s narrow loss to Oakland, the Chargers earned a pair of wins over Chicago and Green Bay. Defense was the key to those victories, as they held the Bears to 16 points and the Aaron Rodgers-led Packers to just 11 points.

On average, the Chargers are scoring 21 points per game on 368 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 334 yards.

Throughout this season, the Chargers have scored 20 points or fewer in six contests.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Bucks -7½ -109

While the Bulls (4-9) are rebuilding, the Bucks (9-3) have their eyes focused on an NBA Finals appearance. Tonight, these two teams will face off in Chicago.

Milwaukee has jumped out to the lead in the Central division with the 7-6 Pacers posing the largest threat. The Bucks are currently riding a three-game winning streak and have been victorious in seven of their last eight games. Milwaukee has scored 121 points or more in five of those eight contests.

On average, the Bucks are scoring 118.8 points while allowing 109.7 points per game.

MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.1 points, 14.3 rebounds, and 6.5 assists, all of which lead the Bucks. Giannis is supported by the 18.5 points per game of Khris Middleton and the 17 points per game of Eric Bledsoe.

The Bulls are level with the Pistons in the basement of the Central division. Chicago will be at home for this contest, but they’ve gone just 2-4 in their own building. The Bulls have now lost three of their last four.

On average, the Bulls are scoring 107.7 points while allowing 111 points per game.

Chicago is without a dominant scorer. Zach LaVine leads the team with 21.6 points per game, and no other player is putting up even 15 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Bears/Rams under40½ -110

Sunday Night Football features an interesting contest between the Bears (4-5) and Rams (5-4) in Los Angeles. The over/under is set at 40.5 points.

Chicago is coming off a 20-13 win over the Lions, but they may have kissed their playoff hopes goodbye with a four-game losing streak. Over their past six games, the Bears have scored more than 21 points just once. Chicago has also been held to 16 points or fewer five times this year.

On average, the Bears are scoring 18 points per game on 282 yards of offense while allowing 17 points per game on 347 yards.

Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky has failed to throw for more than 253 yards in any game this season, and hasn’t managed to rack up more than 173 passing yards over the last two games.

The Rams don’t look like they have a chance to catch the 8-2 Seahawks or 8-1 49ers in the NFC West, so they’re in desperate need of a win to keep up in the Wild Card race. After a pair of wins over Atlanta and Cincinnati, Los Angeles lost to Pittsburgh a week ago.

On average, the Rams are scoring 25 points on 388 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 349 yards.

Los Angeles has held their opponents to 17 points or fewer in three straight, and has scored only 12 points or fewer in two of the last four games.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Sabres +130

Both the Sabres (10-6-3, 23 points) and Blackhawks (8-7-4, 20 points) are in need of a few wins to get back in contention for their respective divisions. Tonight, these two squads will face off against one another.

A win this evening would put Buffalo level on points with Florida and in a tie for third in the Atlantic. After a run of six-straight losses, the Sabres are coming into tonight’s game on the back of a 4-2 win over Ottawa.

On average, the Sabres are scoring 3.00 goals per game (tied for 15th) and allowing 2.84 goals per game (11th).

Offensively, center Jack Eichel leads Buffalo with 12 goals, 11 assists, and a team-high 23 points. Four of Eichel’s goals came on the power play. Goaltender Carter Hutton is allowing 2.62 goals per game, but Linus Ullmark has the better save percentage with a .915.

The Blackhawks have won each of their last three games, the most recent of which was played yesterday. However, Chicago has given up nine total goals in those three contests.

On average, the Blackhawks are scoring 3.00 goals per game (tied for 15th) and allowing 2.95 goals per game (tied for 13th).

As always, Patrick Kane is the leading man for Chicago. Thus far, Kane has scored 10 goals and assisted 15 times for 25 points, all of which lead the Blackhawks.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Warriors/Pelicans under228½ -109

The fall from grace has been unending for the Warriors (2-11), who will go into New Orleans to take on the Pelicans (3-9) this evening. The over/under is set at 228.5 points.

Golden State is already without the vast majority of the star pieces that turned them into a perennial powerhouse in the NBA over the past few years. Now, they’ll also be without D’Angelo Russell, who’s sidelined with a sprained thumb. The Warriors have lost six in a row entering tonight’s contest.

On average, the Warriors are scoring 109.5 points and allowing 119.8 points per game.

Golden State has failed to score more than 100 points four times this season. The Warriors have also scored 110 points or fewer on eight different occasions. Most recently, the Warriors scored 94 against the Lakers and 100 against the Celtics.

The Pelicans haven’t been much better than Golden State, and find themselves at the bottom of the Southwest. However, New Orleans has now won two of their last four by getting wins over the Clippers and Hornets.

On average, the Pelicans are scoring 116.3 points and allowing 121.7 points per game.

New Orleans has failed to reach 105 points in three of their last seven games. After losing a 109-94 contest against the Heat, the Pelicans will now see what they can muster in their second game in as many days.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Seton Hall -7 -109

As the St. Louis Billikens (3-0) go in search of a fourth-straight win, they’ll host the #12 Seton Hall Pirates (2-1).

After starting off the year with a pair of wins over Wagner and Stony Brook, Seton Hall faced its first real test of the young season when they faced #3 Michigan State a few days ago. The Pirates took their first loss by just three points to one of the best teams in the country.

On average, the Pirates are scoring 84 points and allowing 68 points per game.

Guard Myles Powell appears ready to lead this Seton Hall team. Thus far, he’s averaging 21.3 points and four rebounds per game whilst shooting 43.5% from three. Powell was a force against the Spartans, scoring 37 points in the contest.

The Billikens opened the season with three wins over FGCU, Valparaiso, and Eastern Washington. Thus far, St. Louis has scored at least 81 points in every game.

On average, the Billikens are scoring 84 points and allowing 65.7 points per game.

The duo of Jordan Goodwin and Hasahn French lead St. Louis offensively. While Goodwin is averaging 16 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, French is averaging 15.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Bulls -1 -105

Both the Nets (4-7) and Bulls (4-8) are stuck on four wins at the moment. With a contest in Chicago this evening, both squads will be aiming to change that.

While the Bulls aren’t anything special at home (2-3), the Nets are even worse on the road (1-5).

Tonight’s game will be the fifth-straight away contest for Brooklyn. On this road trip, the Nets won only the first game, and have since lost three in a row to Phoenix, Utah, and Denver. Each of those losses came by at least five points.

On average, the Nets are scoring 116.8 points and allowing 119.5 points while shooting 45.8% from the field.

Brooklyn leaves the scoring up to point guard Kyrie Irving. While Irving is averaging 28.5 points and 7.2 assists per game, no other player is scoring more than Spencer Dinwiddie’s 17.1 points per game.

The Bulls are slowly growing into this basketball season. Although Chicago is coming off a loss to Milwaukee, they’ve now won two of their last four. The Bulls scored at least 113 against the Hawks and Knicks.

On average, the Bulls are scoring 107.4 points and allowing 110.5 points while shooting 43.3% from the field.

While Zach LaVine leads this Chicago squad with 20.4 points per game, Coby White has been a spark off the bench by adding another 13.7 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Lightning -235

After a year in which they blew the league away with their goal scoring, the Lightning (9-5-2, 20 points) are still trying to find that form in the new NHL season. This afternoon, the Lightning will be hosting the Jets (11-8-1, 23 points) in Tampa Bay.

Winnipeg is currently on a run of three wins out of four contests, but they were shut out in their lone loss over that stretch. Most recently, the Jets defeated the Panthers by a single goal.

Although the Jets are currently third in the Central, they’re actually allowing more goals than they’re scoring. On average, Winnipeg is scoring 2.65 goals per game (tied for 24th) while allowing 3.00 goals per game (tied for 15th).

Center Mark Scheifele leads the Jets with his eight goals, two of which came via power play, 12 assists, and team-high 20 points.

The lightning are starting to pick up the pace with a run of three-straight wins over the past week. In those victories over Buffalo (twice) and the Rangers, Tampa Bay outscored their opponents 17-8. Most recently, the Lightning scored nine against the Rangers.

On average, the Lightning are scoring 3.75 goals per game (3rd) and allowing 3.44 goals per game (25th).

Tampa Bay currently has 10 players on the roster with at least four goals this season. Six Lightning skaters have scored at least five goals, and three have scored six goals.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Virginia Tech/Georgia Tech under51 -110

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (2-7) are in search of their third win of the season, and they’ll aim to pick it up against the Virginia Tech Hokies (6-3) on Saturday. The over/under is set at 51 points.

With last week’s win over #19 Wake Forest, the Hokies have now won four of their last five. Virginia Tech’s only loss in that stretch came by a single point against #16 Notre Dame. The Hokies have allowed 21 points or fewer in five games this year.

On average, the Hokies are scoring 30 points per game on 385 yards of offense while allowing 27 points on 390 yards.

Only running back Deshawn McClease has rushed for more than 275 yards. On the season, even McClease has only rushed for 566 yards and five touchdowns. No Virginia Tech quarterback has thrown for 1,000 yards so far this season.

Only an overtime win over Miami has kept the Yellow Jackets from a seven-game winning streak. In seven of Georgia Tech’s nine games, they’ve failed to score more than 24 points.

On average, the Yellow Jackets are scoring 18 points on 307 yards of offense while allowing 30 points on 406 yards.

Leading the Georgia Tech offense is running back Jordan Mason, who’s rushed for 716 yards and seven touchdowns.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Hawaii -5½ -109

Tonight, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (2-1) are looking to build on a solid start to the season with a game against the Portland State Vikings (1-1).

After a comfortable victory over Puget Sound in the season opener, Portland State lost by 11 to the Hoosiers in Indiana. Thus far, the Vikings are shooting 43.5% from the field.

On average, Portland State is scoring 84 points and allowing 77 points per game, although those numbers are skewed by the game against a heavily outmatched Puget Sound.

Against Indiana, Portland State relied on two scorers throughout the contest. Apart from Holland Woods, who scored 27 points, and Matt Hauser, who scored 21 points, the rest of the team managed just 26 points.

Before and after their lone loss to South Dakota, Hawaii took down Florida A&M by 13 and Pacific by five. The Rainbow Warriors have scored at least 65 points in each contest this year.

On average, the Rainbow Warriors are scoring 70.7 points and allowing 66.7 points per game.

Hawaii is led by guard Eddie Stansberry, who’s averaging 17.3 points, four rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. By shooting 47.6% from three, Samuta Avea is another key player for Hawaii with his 12.7 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Jazz/Grizzlies under215½ -109

While the Grizzlies (4-7) are struggling to put together any run of good fortune, the Jazz (8-3) are making a name for themselves in the group of Western Conference leaders. The over/under is set at 215.5 points for the contest between these two squads.

Utah has now won four games in a row, notching impressive victories over Philadelphia and Milwaukee. In three of those games, the Jazz have held their opponent below 108 points. In two of those wins, Utah didn’t surpass 106 points themselves.

On average, the Jazz are scoring 104.5 points and allowing 99.5 points per game.

Apart from Donovan Mitchell’s 25.1 points and Bojan Bogdanovic’s 19.8 points per game, the Jazz don’t have another player averaging more than Mike Conley’s 14.7 points per contest.

Before wins over San Antonio and Charlotte, the Grizzlies fell to Orlando and Dallas. Out of those four games, Memphis has scored more than 113 points twice.

On average, the Grizzlies are scoring 110 points and allowing 118.8 points per game.

Although the Grizzlies have struggled throughout the start of the 2019-20 season, they can be happy with the performance of rookie Ja Morant. Thus far, Morant is averaging 18.3 points per game. Beyond Morant, however, no Memphis player is averaging even 15 points a game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Blues -135

The defending champion Blues (12-3-4, 28 points) are off to a strong start, which can’t be said for the Blue Jackets (6-8-4, 16 points). Tonight, these two teams will face off in Columbus.

St. Louis has been great on the road, earning a record of 7-2-1. That record away from home is why the Blues currently hold a four-point lead in the Central. Most recently, St. Louis won seven straight before losing to Arizona in a shootout.

On average, the Blues are scoring 3.11 goals per game (15th) while allowing 2.74 goals per game (8th).

Center Ryan O’Reilly has been an assist machine for the Blues. Alongside his five goals, O’Reilly leads St. Louis with 14 assists and 19 points. Goaltender Jordan Bennington has earned nine wins with a .921 save percentage while allowing 2.35 goals per game.

Sitting above only New Jersey in the Atlantic, Columbus has won only a single game out of their last eight. Since their 3-2 win over Arizona, the Blue Jackets dropped contests to the Avalanche and Canadiens.

On average, the Blue Jackets are scoring 2.33 goals per game (30th) while allowing 3.33 goals per game (tied for 22nd).

Although Joonas Korpisalo is Columbus’ leading goaltender, he’s allowing 3.13 goals per game while saving .895 percent of shots faced.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Louisiana Tech/Marshall under54½ -110

Two of the top teams in Conference USA are set to face off when the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (8-1) go on the road to take on the Marshall Thundering Herd (6-3). The over/under is set at 54.5 points.

Louisiana Tech hasn’t lost a game since the season opener against #10 Texas, when the Bulldogs were held to 14 points. In six of their eight wins, Louisiana Tech has held their opponent to 21 points or fewer. Most recently, the Bulldogs held North Texas to 17 points.

On average, the Bulldogs are scoring 38 points per game on 479 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 390 yards.

Although Louisiana Tech has four receivers with at least 385 receiving yards, the top two pass catchers have only one touchdown each.

The Thundering Herd didn’t get off to the greatest of starts, but they’ve picked up the pace over the last month with four wins in a row. In two of those wins, Marshall held their opponent to 17 points or fewer.

On average, the Thundering Herd are scoring 26 points per game on 425 yards of offense while allowing 24 points on 371 yards.

Isaiah Green leads the Marshall offense with 1,876 yards with 12 touchdowns and six interceptions.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on West Virginia PK -109

The West Virginia Mountaineers (1-0) are looking for a flawless start to the season through two games. The Pitt Panthers (2-1) might have something to say about that when these teams match up this evening.

The Mountaineers are coming off a 10-point win over the Akron Zips, which they played a full week ago. Although West Virginia allowed Akron to score 51 points in the second half, the Mountaineers did enough by duplicating their 47-point first half in which they held the Zips to just 33 points.

Of the 11 West Virginia players who saw the floor for at least five minutes, six had nine points or more. Both Jermaine Haley and Derek Culver led the Mountaineers with 16 points and seven rebounds apiece. Miles McBride led the bench in scoring with 11 points.

The Mountaineers shot 38.5% from three and 47.5% from the field.

Between wins over Florida State and Robert Morris, the Panthers fell by five points to Nicholls. Thus far, Pittsburgh is 1-1 on their home floor.

On average, the Panthers are scoring 68 points and allowing 64.3 points per game.

Guard Ryan Murphy has led the Panthers in scoring so far this season. While hitting 47.4% of his shots from beyond the arc, Murphy is averaging 17 points, 3.7 rebounds, and two assists.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Michigan State -6 -109

The #3 Michigan State Spartans (1-1) aren’t afraid of testing themselves early in the season. After opening the year against #2 Kentucky, Sparty will now take on the #12 Seton Hall Pirates (2-0).

Entering the season as the top-ranked team, Michigan State fell to the Kentucky Wildcats by seven points in the season opener. The Spartans rebounded with a big 100-47 win over Binghamton days later.

On average, the Spartans are scoring 81 points and allowing 58 points per game.

Against Kentucky, Michigan State was unable to recover from a slow start after scoring just 24 points in the first half. Despite hitting just one of his seven three-point attempts, Cassius Winston led the Spartans by a wide margin by scoring 21 points in the contest.

Seton Hall opened the year with a pair of wins over Wagner and Stony Brook. Neither game was ever in jeopardy for the Pirates, who scored 105 against Wagner and held Stony Brook to just 57.

On average, the Pirates are scoring 89.5 points and allowing 64 points per game.

Currently, four Seton Hall players are scoring double-digit points per contest. Leading the group is Sandro Mamukelashvili, who’s averaging 14 points, five rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Steelers/Browns over40 -109

As the Steelers (5-4) are building momentum for a playoff run, they’ll go into Cleveland to battle the Browns (3-6) on Thursday Night Football. The over/under is set at 40 points.

Pittsburgh is currently riding a four-game winning streak that’s included three home wins and a road win against the Chargers. In all but one of those contests, the Steelers scored 24 points or more. In every game but the season opener against New England and their most recent contest, Pittsburgh has scored at least 20 points.

On average, the Steelers are scoring 21 points per game on 296 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 356 yards.

Throwing for at least 240 yards in two of his last three games, Mason Rudolph has been good enough to get Pittsburgh in the playoff race. On the season, Rudolph has completed 64.5% of his passes with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions.

A disappointing season for the Browns became slightly more tolerable with last week’s three-point victory over Buffalo. Prior to that win, Cleveland lost four straight while allowing those opponents to score at least 24 points each.

On average, the Browns are scoring 19 points per game on 370 yards of offense while allowing 25 points per game on 374 yards.

Baker Mayfield was the good version of himself against the Bills. Mayfield threw for 238 yards with two touchdowns and no picks.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Clippers -2½ -110

While the Clippers (7-4) have gotten off to a decent start without one of their two star players, the Pelicans (2-8) have won just 20% of their games thus far. Tonight, the Pelicans will be hosting the Clippers in New Orleans.

The two Los Angeles teams are once again atop the Pacific standings after the Clippers have earned a 0.5-game lead over the Suns. Yet the Clippers will need to go on a winning streak in order to catch the 9-2 Lakers. Before yesterday’s loss to Houston, the Clippers defeated both Portland and Toronto.

On average, the Clippers are scoring 110.2 points and allowing 106.5 points per game.

Kawhi Leonard leads Los Angeles with 26.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, six assists, and 2.1 steals per game. Lou Williams is the team’s second-leading scorer with 22.1 points per game.

The Pelicans are in the basement of the Southwest standings and don’t look to be much of a threat without Zion Williamson on the floor. New Orleans is also coming off a loss to the Rockets.

On average, the Pelicans are scoring 117 points and allowing 122.4 points per contest.

Brandon Ingram leads New Orleans with 25.9 points per game, but it’s unclear if he’ll be able to go this evening after picking up a knock to his knee.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on North Carolina/Pittsburgh under50½ -109

The North Carolina Tarheels (4-5) have a chance to get back to .500 this evening, but they’ll have to take down a solid Pittsburgh Panthers team (6-3) to do so. The over/under is set at 50.5 points.

It’s been a wild season for a North Carolina squad that defeated South Carolina and only lost to #1 Clemson by a single point, but who’s also lost to Wake Forest and Appalachian State. The Tarheels have scored 24 points or fewer in four of their games.

On average, the Tarheels are scoring 28 points per game on 445 yards of offense while allowing 27 points per game on 396 yards.

Although he’s completing just 58.2% of his passes, North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell has thrown for 2,472 yards, 26 touchdowns, and five interceptions.

Pittsburgh has won five of their last six games, starting with a win over #15 UCF. Over their last five games, the Panthers have scored more than 20 points just twice and allowed more than 20 points just once.

On average, the Pitt Panthers are scoring 21 points per game on 380 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 280 yards.

Quarterback Kenny Pickett leads the Pittsburgh offense with 1,952 yards, but he’s managed only one more touchdown (9) than he has interceptions (8).

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Hurricanes -140

The Hurricanes (10-7-1, 21 points) and Sabres (9-6-2, 20 points) are both trying to regain positive momentum after hitting a string of losses. These two teams will face off tonight in Buffalo.

Carolina had been frustrated by a run of four-straight losses while allowing 17 goals. On Monday, the Hurricanes took that frustration out on the Senators, whom they beat by a score of 8-2. Sebastian Aho led the way with two goals.

On average, the Hurricanes are scoring 3.33 goals per game (10th) and allowing 2.89 goals per game (13th).

Defenseman Dougie Hamilton has been the most productive player for the Hurricanes, putting up team-highs for goals (8), assists (11), and points (19). With a save percentage of .907, Petr Mrazek is allowing 2.51 goals per game.

The Sabres enter this contest as losers of five straight. Buffalo allowed 18 goals in those five games while scoring just eight goals of their own.

On average, the Sabres are scoring 2.88 goals per game (17th) while allowing 2.76 goals per game (10th).

With eight goals,11 assists, and 19 points, center Jack Eichel leads Buffalo in all three categories. Goaltender Charlie Hutton leads the Sabres with 2.39 goals allowed per game and a .921 save percentage.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Stars +125

The Flames (10-7-3, 23 points) have four more points than the Stars (8-8-2, 18 points), yet Calgary only finds itself one place higher than Dallas in their respective divisions. Tonight, Calgary will host the Stars.

Before falling to Winnipeg in overtime in their most recent contest, the Stars won four straight and seven of their last eight. On their four-game winning streak, Dallas outscored their opponents 16-6.

On average, the Stars are scoring 2.39 goals per game (29th) and allowing 2.44 goals per game (3rd).

Defense is the strength of this Dallas team, and goaltender Ben Bishop is the fulcrum of that defensive effort. With a save percentage of .928, Bishop is allowing 2.22 goals per game. Offensively, left winger Roope Hintz leads the attack with nine goals.

The Flames are coming off a loss to the Blues, and have lost two of their past four. Calgary has allowed 12 goals in those four games.

On average, the Flames are scoring 2.85 goals per game (18th) and allowing 2.90 goals per game (13th).

Leading Calgary goaltender David Rittich has won nine games, but isn’t able to match the numbers of Bishop. With a .914 save percentage, Rittich is allowing 2.75 goals per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Northwestern +8½ -109

Having started the season with a flawless record through two games, the Providence Friars (2-0) will go on the road to take on the Northwestern Wildcats (0-1).

Providence topped the 100-point mark in their season opener against Sacred Heart while holding their opponent to just 60. The Friars then welcomed the NJIT Highlanders and had little more trouble, easily winning a 76-47 contest.

On average, the Friars are scoring 91 points and allowing 53.5 points per game.

Providence currently has five players scoring double-digit points per contest, three of which are averaging 10.5 points a game. Guard Alpha Diallo is the main man for the Friars thus far with an average of 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.

Guard David Duke has added another 16 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game.

After losing by 10 to Merrimack, the Northwestern Wildcats are getting 8.5 points in tonight’s contest. After trailing Merrimack by just a single point at the half, Northwestern let their opponent get away from them in the final period of play.

Forward Pete Nance put in the best performance of the game for Northwestern. In 33 minutes, Nance went for 19 points and 12 rebounds while shooting 7-of-15 from the floor. Miller Kopp and Pat Spencer added 11 and 10 points, respectively.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Northern Illinois/Toledo under54½ -110

Although the Toledo Rockets (6-3) haven’t played particularly well within the MAC, they own the best overall record in the conference. Wednesday, the Rockets will host the Northern Illinois Huskies (3-6). The over/under is set at 54.5 points.

Northern Illinois has lost two of their last three games, with the only victory coming against winless Akron. Against Miami of Ohio, the Huskies scored 24 points. Against Central Michigan, Northern Illinois scored just 10 points.

On average, the Huskies are scoring 23 points per game on 363 yards of offense while allowing 28 points per game on 372 yards.

While failing to score in the second half, the Northern Illinois offense struggled mightily against the Chippewas. The Huskies racked up just 251 yards of offense while quarterback Ross Bowers threw three interceptions and only a single touchdown.

Toledo is coming off two tight wins against Eastern Michigan and Kent State, but lost two straight prior to that. Against Bowling green and Ball State, respectively, the Rockets scored just seven and 14 points.

On average, the Rockets are scoring 29 points per game on 449 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 467 yards.

Eli Peters led the Toledo offense in the past two games. On the season, Peters has thrown for 365 yards with three touchdowns and two picks.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Grizzlies/Hornets under220 -109

Both the Grizzlies (3-7) and Hornets (4-6) are struggling to find wins early in this NBA season. Tonight, they’ll go head to head in Charlotte. The over/under is set at 220 points.

Although Memphis has managed only three wins out of 10, one of those wins came in their most recent game against the Spurs in San Antonio. That win is one of just four times the Grizzlies have scored more than 105 points in a game this season.

On average, the Grizzlies are scoring 109.1 points and allowing 119 points per game.

Rookie Ja Morant is the leading scorer for Memphis. On average, Morant is dropping 17.8 points and 5.2 assists per game. While six Grizzlies players are averaging 10 points or more, none are close the threatening 20 points per game so far this year.

The Hornets have hit their roughest patch of the season and are now losers of three straight. After falling to Boston, Charlotte dropped contests to both New Orleans and Philadelphia on a back-to-back. The Hornets have now failed to top 110 points in four of their past five games.

On average, the Hornets are scoring 105.8 points and allowing 113.2 points per game.

Charlotte has the same issue of not sending out a player who’s been able to average 20 points per game. Devonte Graham leads the way with 17.9 points and 7.6 assists whilst coming off the bench.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Texas-Arlington +6 -109

The UT Arlington Mavericks (2-0) are searching for three wins out of three as they go on the road to take on the Nevada Wolf Pack (1-1) this evening.

The Mavericks followed up a destruction of the Texas Dallas Comets with a 73-59 win over Tulsa. Thus far, UT Arlington hasn’t allowed more than 59 points in a game. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have scored at least 73 points in both their games.

On average, the Mavericks are scoring 78.5 points and allowing 54.5 points per game.

The interesting thing about UT Arlington is that no one player stands out as a great scorer. Instead, the Mavericks offer a balanced offense with seven players averaging at least eight points per game. Forward Jabari Narcis leads the way with 11 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.

Nevada is a six-point home favorite, but the Wolf Pack have already lost once at home. Before a five-point win over Loyola Marymount, Nevada lost by five to Utah.

On average, the Wolf Pack are scoring 73 points and allowing 73 points per game.

Nevada doesn’t have much to offer offensively beyond Lindsey Drew and Jazz Johnson. While Drew is scoring 27 points per game and Johnson is scoring 18 points per game, only two other Wolf Pack players are scoring more than four points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Jazz -6½ -109

As the Jazz (7-3) look to keep up with the Nuggets in the Northwest division, they’ll look to stay perfect at home against the Nets (4-5) this evening.

Brooklyn is just 1-3 on the road this season, and is coming off a 138-112 loss to the Suns. In all but one of their nine games thus far, the Nets have allowed 113 points or more to their competition. Brooklyn has also allowed 125 points or more in four games.

On average, the Nets are scoring 119.8 points and allowing 121.7 points per game.

Although Brooklyn tries to overcome their weak defense with offensive firepower, only Kyrie Irving is currently averaging more than 16.8 points per game for the Nets.

The Jazz are finding their form once again with three wins in a row, two of which came against strong Eastern Conference teams in the form of Philadelphia and Milwaukee. In each of those three wins, Utah held their opponents to 108 points or fewer.

On average, the Jazz are scoring 103.1 points per game and allowing 98.1 points per game.

Young superstar Donovan Mitchell continues to lead the Jazz with 24.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. Center Rudy Gobert is a big defensive presence for Utah with his team-high 13.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Blue Jackets +160

With a win this evening, the Canadiens (9-5-3, 21 points) could propel themselves into second in the Atlantic. With that goal, the Canadiens will be hosting the Blue Jackets (6-8-3, 15 points) in Montreal.

A tough season for the Blue Jackets has gotten tougher over the last seven games of which Columbus has won only one. Over that stretch, the Blue Jackets have scored two goals or fewer on four occasions. Columbus is ahead of only New Jersey in the Metropolitan.

On average, the Blue Jackets are scoring 2.35 goals per game (30th) and allowing 3.41 goals per game (tied for 23rd).

On his way to 11 points, center Pierre-Luc Dubois has scored six goals, all of which have come from regular play. Gustav Nyquist leads the team with eight assists.

Over the past five games, the Canadiens have been slaloming between wins and losses. Columbus will hope that pattern will continue, as Montreal would be due for a loss after defeating the Kings by a goal in their most recent contest.

On average, the Canadiens are scoring 3.53 points per game (tied for 4th) and allowing 3.12 goals per game (20th).

Leading the line for Montreal is Jonathan Drouin, who’s scored a team-high seven goals with eight assists for 15 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Eastern Michigan/Akron under49 -109

The Akron Zips (0-9) remain winless on the season. They’ll be searching for their first win against the Eastern Michigan Eagles (4-5) this evening. The over/under is set at 49 points.

Easter Michigan is on a bad run of form, having dropped four of their last five contests. In those four losses, the Eagles failed to score more than 23 points on three occasions. Most recently, Eastern Michigan fell to Buffalo by a score of 43-14.

On average, the Eagles are scoring 26 points per game on 377 yards of offense while allowing 33 points per game on 445 yards.

Quarterback Mike Glass leads the Eastern Michigan offense with 1,991 yards, 16 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, but he didn’t even reach 100 yards passing against Buffalo 10 days ago.

The Zips are on a nine-game losing streak and have failed to score more than six points in any of their last four contests. On that losing streak, Akron has scored a total of nine points in four games.

On average, the Zips are scoring 10 points per game on 254 yards of offense while allowing 36 points per game on 390 yards.

In Akron’s last game, which was against Bowling Green, quarterback Kato Nelson threw for 60 yards and two picks without a touchdown.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Seahawks/49ers under48 -110

We’re a far cry from the Pete Carroll vs Jim Harbaugh and Richard Sherman vs Michael Crabtree rivalries of years past, but this evening’s Monday Night Football offering gives us a showdown between two NFC West powerhouses once again. The over/under is set at 48 points.

Behind MVP candidate Russell Wilson, the Seahawks have won five of their last six. Seattle looks good, but the defense has been susceptible, which is why they needed overtime to defeat the Bucs last week.

On average, the Seahawks are scoring 28 points per game on 410 yards of offense while allowing 26 points per game on 392 yards.

As previously mentioned, quarterback Russell Wilson is putting up an MVP-caliber year. Thus far, he’s thrown for 2,505 yards with 22 touchdowns and just a single interception. However, Wilson will be going up against the league’s best defense, statistically.

By allowing 241 yards per game, the 49ers defense ranks first in the NFL. By allowing 12.8 points per game, the 49ers rank second behind New England.

As the NFL’s only remaining undefeated team, San Francisco will be on extra rest after surviving a 28-25 Thursday Night game against the Cardinals. Before last week’s game, the 49ers held their opponents to 13 points or fewer in four straight games.

On average, the 49ers are scoring 29 points per game on 398 yards per game while allowing 13 points per game on 272 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Rockets -4½ -109

While Houston is figuring out its new star backcourt, they’ve managed to jump out to a 6-3 start. Tonight, the Rockets (6-3) will head into New Orleans for a showdown with the Pelicans (2-7).

With a win this evening, Houston would extend its current winning streak to four games. Against Memphis, Golden State, and Chicago, the Rockets were able to average 118 points while holding their three opponents to an average of 106 points.

On the season, the Rockets are averaging 120.1 points and allowing 118.7 points per game.

It appears that Houston will goes as far as guards James Harden and Russell Westbrook will take them, and that could be a deep playoff run.

Thus far, Harden is averaging 37.1 points and 8.2 assists per game, and Westbrook is averaging 21.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game.

Without first-overall pick Zion Williamson, the Pelicans have struggled throughout their first nine games of the season. Before overcoming Charlotte by five points two nights ago, New Orleans hit a stretch of three straight losses.

On average, the Pelicans are scoring 117.1 points and allowing 122.4 points per game.

In Zion’s absence, Brandon Ingram is leading the Pelicans with his 25.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on DePaul +9½ -110

Having started the year with three games in four days, the DePaul Blue Demons (3-0) have jumped out to a flawless record. Tonight, the Blue Demons will be on the road to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0).

While they haven’t played NCAA Tournament-level competition thus far, DePaul has taken care of business against whoever’s been put in front of them. Through three games, the Blue Demons have won by at least 11 points in each contest against Alcorn State, Chicago, and Fairleigh Dickinson.

On average, the Blue Demons are scoring 75.3 points and allowing 56 points per game.

Thus far, DePaul can boast four players averaging 11 points or more. Charlie Moore has separated himself as the top scorer on the team with 19.3 points per game in addition to his five assists and 2.3 assists per contest.

With an 87-60 win over SIU Edwardsville, Iowa started the season on the right foot. The Hawkeyes were led by center Luka Garza, who earned a double-double with a team-high 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Guard Joe Wieskamp was Iowa’s next-best player, as he went for 16 points, four rebounds, and two assists. Apart from Garza and Wieskamp, no other Hawkeye player scored more than nine.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Capitals -185

The Capitals (13-2-3, 29 points) just keep winning. Tonight in Washington D.C., the Capitals will try to extend their winning streak when they host the Coyotes (9-6-2, 20 points).

Arizona has only just recently let the leaders in the Pacific Division create a gap ahead of them. The Coyotes haven’t won a game since November 4th when they beat Edmonton by one. Since then, the Coyotes have lost three straight to the Flames, Blue Jackets, and Wild.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.82 goals per game (20th) and allowing 2.41 goal per game (tied for 2nd).

Darcy Kuemper continues to be one of the better goaltenders in the NHL. Thus far, Kuemper is allowing 2.00 goals per game on a .930 save percentage.

The Capitals currently hold a four-point lead atop the Metropolitan Division. Washington has built that lead with six victories in a row. The Caps haven’t lost since October 24th.

On average, the Capitals are scoring 4.06 goals per game (1st) and allowing 3.06 goals per game (18th).

Throughout their current six-game winning streak, the Capitals have scored 30 goals while holding their opponents to a total of just 17 goals.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Flyers +195

If the Bruins (11-3-2, 24 points) want to ensure they’ll end the day in sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Division, they’ll need a victory over the Flyers (9-5-2, 20 points), who visit Boston today.

Having won four of their last five, Philadelphia is one of the hottest teams in hockey. They’ve scored at least three goals in every game over this five-game stretch, with only a shootout loss to Toronto holding the Flyers back from a five-game winning streak.

On average, the Flyers are scoring 3.19 goals per game (12th) while allowing 3.00 goals per game (tied for 16th).

With seven goals and a team-leading 10 assists, center Travis Konecny is tops on the Flyers with 17 points. Oskar Lindblom leads Philly with eight goals from the right wing.

Although the Bruins sit atop their division, they’ve lost their last two games. In those defeats to Detroit and Montreal, Boston has allowed nine combined goals.

On average, the Bruins are scoring 3.63 goals per game (4th) and allowing 2.44 goals per game (4th).

Right winger David Pastrnak has been incredible for the Bruins, scoring 15 goals and assisting 15 times for a team-best 30 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Pacers/Magic under204 -110

After an 0-3 start to the year, the Pacers (5-4) have won five of their last six. Indiana now heads into Orlando as one of the hottest teams in the league for a matchup with the Magic (3-6). The over/under is set at 204 points.

Only a 122-120 overtime loss to Charlotte has kept Indiana from winning six straight. On this streak, the Pacers have held opponents to 95 points or fewer on two occasions, and 108 points or fewer on five occasions.

On average, the Pacers are scoring 109.3 points and allowing 106.3 points per game.

Point guard Malcolm Brogdon is leading the Pacers with 21 points and nine assists per game. Domantas Sabonis is also off to an impressive start, averaging 19.9 points and a team-leading 12.6 rebounds per game. In total, five Pacers are averaging at least 14.8 points per game.

Orlando is coming off a win in which they held Memphis to just 86 points, but the Magic lost their four previous games in a row. In three of those four losses, Orlando failed to score more than 94 points.

On average, the Magic are scoring 97.7 points while allowing 98.2 points per game.

Nikola Vucevic leads all Orlando scorers with just 17 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on San Jose State -1½ -109

The San Jose State Spartans (1-0) are aiming for a perfect start through two games of the season. To do so, they’ll need to overcome the visiting Portland Pilots (1-1).

After a dominant victory over Willamette, Portland dropped a 76-65 contest to USC. The Pilots struggled to keep up throughout the game, letting the Trojans get too far out in front with a 41-35 first half.

In the USC game, Pilots guard Isaiah White led the team with 22 points. White made six of his 10 three-point attempts and both of his free throws. Only two other players, Takiula Fahrensohn and Jojo Walker, had 10 points in the game.

The Spartans earned a 79-71 win over Hofstra in the season opener. Tonight will be San Jose State’s first home game of the year.

The Spartans had four players score double-digit points in the victory over Hofstra. From the bench, Richard Washington led the way with 23 points in addition to his seven rebounds and three assists. Forward Craig LeCesne was a force in the paint with 19 points and 11 rebounds for a double-double.

Guard Seneca Knight added another 13 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and three steals.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Dolphins +11½ -105

Fresh off their first win of the NFL season, the Dolphins (1-7) now set their sights on the Colts (5-3) as they travel into Indianapolis looking for two straight.

Through several recent games, Miami had jumped out to a lead only to see it fade away. Against the Jets, Miami claimed a first-half lead and never looked back, earning a 26-18 victory. Although it was just Miami’s second game of 21 points or more, it was the best version of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw for three TDs.

On average, the Dolphins are scoring 13 points per game on 284 yards of offense while allowing 32 points per game on 411 yards.

The win over New York was Miami’s second time holding their opponent to 18 or fewer points in the last four weeks.

Although the five-win Colts have shown enough grit and talent to defeat the likes of Kansas City and Houston, they’ll enter Sunday’s game without Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. Instead, Brian Hoyer will make his first start in over two years.

The Colts are laying 11.5 points in this contest, yet they’ve failed to earn a margin of victory of more than seven points all season long.

On average, the Colts are scoring 23 points per game on 356 yards of offense while allowing 22 points on 355 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Penguins -210

The Blackhawks (5-7-3, 13 points) have yet to find a rhythm in this NHL season. On the other hand, the Penguins (9-6-1, 19 points) have been a capable team thus far. Tonight, the Penguins will host the Blackhawks in Pittsburgh.

Despite their slow start, Chicago has won two of their past three games. On either side of a 4-2 loss to the Sharks, the Blackhawks took down the Ducks and Canucks.

On average, the Blackhawks are scoring 2.53 goals per game (28th) while allowing 3.00 goals per game (tied for 15th).

Right winger Patrick Kane spearheads the Blackhawks attack. Thus far, Kane has scored five goals and 11 assists for 16 points, all of which are team highs.

Sitting third in the Metropolitan Division, the Penguins are trying to catch the Capitals and Islanders. Recently, Pittsburgh bounced back from back-to-back losses with a 4-3 win over the Islanders.

On average, the Penguins are scoring 3.44 goals per game (7th) while allowing 2.63 goals per game (tied for 8th).

This balanced Pittsburgh team is led by Sidney Crosby’s 12 assists and 17 points on offense, and the goaltending pairing of Tristan Jarry and Matt Murray on the defensive end.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Spurs -1 -109

The Celtics (6-1) have rolled over just about every team they’ve faced so far this season. Tonight, they’ll attempt to do the same to the Spurs (5-3) in San Antonio.

Since a loss to the 76ers in the season opener, Boston has ripped off six straight wins. Throughout that streak, only one game has ended as a one-possession game. The Celtics have scored at least 104 in every win, but were held to just 93 points by Philly.

On average, the Celtics are scoring 110 points while allowing 102.1 points per game.

Among the three Celtics averaging at least 20 points, Kemba Walker leads the way with 24.3 points per game. Jayson Tatum is averaging 21.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, and Gordon Hayward is averaging 20.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.

After two straight losses to the Lakers and Hawks, the Spurs responded with a 121-112 win over the Thunder in their most recent game. While San Antonio has lost three games, only one has come at home.

On average, the Spurs are scoring 112.3 points and allowing 109.9 points per game.

DeMar DeRozan leads all San Antonio scorers with his 20 points per game while adding five rebounds and 4.8 assists.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Tennessee State +3 -109

While the Chattanooga Mocs (0-1) failed to come out of their season opener as victors, the Tennessee State Tigers (1-0) did. Today, these two teams will face off against one another.

Against Alabama A&M, Tennessee State exploded for 106 points while holding their opponent to just 66. With 64 points in the first half, the Tigers nearly matched the Bulldogs’ total in half the time.

Apart from two 14-point scorers, Alabama A&M didn’t have another player reach double-digit points against Tennessee State. Meanwhile, four of the Tigers’ five starters and a bench player all reached 10 points or more.

Leading the way for Tennessee State was Carlos Marshall Jr., who dropped 22 points with four rebounds and three assists. Guard Will Harris added another 15 points, seven rebounds, and three assists.

With a 79-68 loss to Eastern Kentucky, Chattanooga picked up where they left off last year after a 20-loss season. The Mocs actually led at the half, but were outscored 46-30 in the second half.

Three Chattanooga players went for 12 points or more, but two Mocs who played double-digit minutes failed to score a single point.

David Jean-Baptiste led the way with 18 points in addition to his five rebounds.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on East Carolina/SMU over71 -110

The #25 SMU Mustangs (8-1) managed to hang on to their ranked status after last week’s loss. Saturday night, the Mustangs will host the East Carolina Pirates (3-6). The over/under is set at 71 points.

ECU is one of the weakest teams in the American Athletic Conference, made apparent by their current streak of four-straight losses. It’s been a tough schedule for the Pirates lately, having to face Temple, UCF, and #17 Cincinnati, but they should have performed better than their 45-20 performance against USF.

On average, ECU is scoring 24 points per game on 402 yards of offense while allowing 30 points per game on 422 yards.

Over their last three games, the Pirates have allowed at least 41 points in each contest. Of ECU’s seven defeats, opponents have failed to reach at least 34 points on just one occasion.

A week ago, SMU appeared to be the AAC’s best team. However, a 54-48 loss to #24 Memphis shredded the Mustangs’ undefeated status. Despite that loss, SMU has still scored at least 34 points in every contest, and has put up as many as 49 in a single game.

On average, the Mustangs are scoring 44 points per game on 509 yards of offense while allowing 31 points on 401 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Bucks/Jazz under217½ -109

Both the Bucks (6-2) and the Jazz (5-3) figure to be two of the NBA’s better teams when the season comes to an end. Tonight, they’ll test one another in a game in Utah. The over/under is set at 217.5 points.

After a surprising 2-2 start to the season, Milwaukee has ripped off four wins in a row. They’ve finally looked like the Eastern Conference juggernauts of last year by holding three of their four opponents in this winning streak to 106 points or fewer.

On average, the Bucks are scoring 122.3 points and allowing 112 points per game.

In Milwaukee’s most recent contest – a 129-124 win over the Clippers – Giannis Antetokounmpo earned game-high marks with 38 points and 16 rebounds.

After two straight defeats, the Jazz responded with a 106-104 win over the 76ers. As a team, Utah has topped 106 points just twice this year. Thus far, no Utah opponent has scored more than 105 points in a game.

On average, the Jazz are scoring 100.8 points and allowing 96.6 points per game.

Other than Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic, the Jazz don’t have a player averaging 13 points or more. Mitchell is putting up 25.5 points per game while Bogdanovic is adding another 20.1 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Jets -125

As the Canucks (9-4-3, 21 points) fight for a top place within the Pacific Division, they’ll go into Winnipeg to take on the Jets (8-7-1, 17 points) this evening.

Just a single point behind the Oilers and Flames, Vancouver’s been a solid team through 16 games. However, they’ll be playing their second game in as many nights, and they’ve lost two straight. Yesterday, Vancouver took a 5-2 loss at the hands of Chicago.

On average, the Canucks are scoring 3.38 goals per game (8th) while allowing 2.50 goals per game (5th).

Although goaltender Jacob Markstrom leads the way with five wins, Thatcher Demko has been the better goalie with 1.78 goals allowed per game and a .938 save percentage.

Before a loss to New Jersey in their most recent contest, the Jets won two straight against the Sharks and Golden Knights. Winnipeg should be well rested after enjoying three days off since their last game.

On average, the Jets are scoring 2.63 goals per game (tied for 25th) while allowing 3.13 goals per game (19th).

On his way to earning six wins from between the pipes, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has saved 373 of his 401 shots faced for a .930 save percentage.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Central Florida/Tulsa under70½ -110

A Friday evening college football offering pits two mirrored records against one another as the UCF Knights (7-2) go on the road to take on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (2-7). The over/under is set at 70.5 points.

It hasn’t been the season UCF was hoping for, but they’ve only dropped two contests this year. The Knights have scored at least 41 points in each of their seven wins, and have scored 34 or more in all but one game all season.

On average, the Knights are scoring 46 points per game on 551 yards of offense while allowing 22 points per game on 348 yards.

Quarterback Dillon Gabriel leads an explosive offense with his 2,516 yards, 23 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Gabriel’s favorite target is Gabriel Davis, who’s caught 53 balls for 962 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Tulsa got off to a .500 start through four games, but has since lost five straight. Throughout that rough stretch, the Golden Hurricane have been held to 26 points or fewer on three occasions.

On average, Tulsa is scoring 24 points per game on 403 yards of offense while allowing 33 points per game on 407 yards.

Tulsa’s leading running back, Shamari Brooks, has been held to fewer than 100 yards in five of his last six games.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Siena +20½ -109

Cincinnati, Ohio will be the destination for a showdown between the Siena Saints (1-0) and the #19 Xavier Musketeers (1-0). Siena is getting 20.5 points in this contest.

The Saints opened the season with a big 96-80 win over American. In that game, Jalen Pickett led all scorers with his 22 points from the bench. Pickett also added five rebounds and four assists in his 30 minutes on the floor.

In addition to Pickett, Siena had three other scorers drop 14 points or more. Forward Elijah Burns was perhaps the most influential player on the floor for the Saints as he put up 19 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two blocks. Manny Camper pitched in with 14 points, eight rebounds, and four assists.

A fast-paced Siena team figures to offer more of a challenge for Xavier than the Musketeers’ first opponent, Jacksonville University. Despite severely outmatching Jacksonville, Xavier was only able to muster a 19-point victory, and they’re laying more than 20 points tonight.

Against Jacksonville, both Tyrique Jones and Naji Marshall scored 17 points. While Jones also snagged 11 rebounds, Jones added six rebounds, four assists, and two steals.

In total, four Musketeers scored at least 11 points.
