10* under 170

These two just played a high scoring game. I think we see a game in the 160's and an under.

10* over 5.5

I hope to see plenty of goals as we saw in game one. 

10* under 8 runs

The trends point to an under:

Az under 18-7-2 at home and unders are 53-26-7 in the last 86 meetings.

10* under 208

Hopefully we slow an ugly scoring game like game 7 of the Boston/Cleveland series.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score in game one so take the under.

10* over 198.5

I think we see Lebron score his share as well as some late points to get to 200.

10* under 214

The trends point to an under. Houston has 4 unders in their last 4 road games and 14-2 under in the last 16 vs. Pacific teams. Under is 39-18 last 57 overall while GS has 7 unders in its last 8 and under has profited in the 7 of the last 8 meetings.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score in this game 7.

10* under 165

Minnesota plays solid defense. The Wings are known for offense and that concens me but I think it ends with 160 to 163 scored.

10* under 6

I like the under as we have seen just one game go over the total. Hopefully, we se a 3-2 type of game that stays below the total on Monday night.

10* over the total

I expect Cleveland to shoot better with Lebron James leading the way. Love, JR Smith and Korver should make some key baskets as well.

Take the over.

10* under 8.5

Arizona did have an over last night but unders are 18-6-2 in their last 26 home games and 8-3-1 in their last 12 overall. Milwaukee has 14 overs and 25 unders. Corbin for Az is 4-0 with an ERA of 2.12. Take under 8.5 (-126) on Monday.

10* under 8.5

They played a 3-1 game last night. The ball hasn't traveled well since using a humidor in Arizona home games. After the first round of home games we have seen a run of unders there. Take the under on Saturday.

10* over 2.5

I think we see a 2-1 score so take the over.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score so take the under.

10* under 227.5

We have seen one team struggle to score in this series so far. Hopefully, we see NO struggle in one quarter or a slow 4th period if Golden State is ahead by 10 or more.

10* under 231.5

All it takes is one team to struggle to score or a slow quarter and we end up with a total in the 220's and an under.

10* over 2.5

Montreal games have 31 goals in 8 matches. I think we see a 2-1 game in this MLS match that is set for Saturday afternoon.

10* over 206

I like the over as Harden and Chris Paul are great on offense. Houston scored well over 100% but shot close to 44%. Utah has Donovan Mitchell and does need to get used to playing without Ricky Rubio so they have had time to prepare.

10* under 227

All it takes is for some key missed shots and a slow quarter and we see a game in the 222 to 224 range. Take the under.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score so take under 5.5.

10* over 204.5

Golden State will jump ahead and push it since they don't want to go back to San Antonio. I like them to score close to 210. Take the over.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score. This is Vegas' first playoff game and the LA Kings have future Hall Of Fame goalie Jonathan Quick. Take the under in game one.

10* under 220

It is late in the season and we are seeing tired legs. NO has played unders in 5 of 6 while Phoenix has unders in 8 of 10. I think we see an under on Friday night.

10* under 155

I think the total is too high for a Final Four game and we get an under.

10* under 9.5

It is expected to be in the low 40's in Detroit. I expect to see under 9.5 runs scored on Friday.

10* under 226.5

The trends point to an under:

The under has won 4 of the last 5 in Houston and the under has profited 36-16-1 in the last 53 meetings.

Chris Paul is doubtful as well.

Take the under on Saturday.

10* under 133.5

These two played a 60-44 (104 points) at Duke this year. Syracuse games in the NCAA tourney have been low scoring (allowing 56, 52 and 53 points to Az State, TCU and Michigan State) and they will play solid defense as always. Neither team is very deep. Take the under.

10* under 159.5

Both are from the state of West Va. Marshall is good on offense and below average on defense. Bob Huggins of West Va should have his team led by Javeon Carter to focus on playing defense vs. players like Jon Elmore.

10* under 158

I think Kentucky will win by 10 and the game stays in the lower 150's.

10* over 163

UNC is a high scoring team that just finished playing Virginia. They will be happy to face another offense team that has scorers. The game is being played in Charlotte so there will be plenty of Tar Heel fans.

I think we see 168 to 172 score so go with the over on Friday.

10* over 140

These two played just last week so UNC should be used to the Orange zone. The last few meetings have gone over the total. UNC has some juniors and seniors who have experience vs. Syracuse.

10* under 162

OU was playing plenty of high scores earlier but the team is not deep and Trae Young was tired after playing so many minutes and wearing down after  a full season.

10* under 236.5

This is a high total. The two meetings this year reached 214 and 215. It will take close to 60 points per quarter to get the over. Hopefully, one team has a slow spell and we see a game in the 230 range.

10* under 163

Duke has been playing better defense lately. The first meeting ended with 160 points. UNC is off a home loss where they allowed 91 to Miami. They played good defense in the second half vs. the Blue Devils in the first meeting.

10 star

Over 129

GW is off a low scoring loss and played over in 7 of 8 @ home.

10 over 153

UNC is home and likes to play fast. Two years ago at unc was above 160.

10* under 161

Both teams can score quickly but it is late in the season and there are tired legs. Marvin Bagley has been out for Duke. 

The trends favor the under:

*Duke's last 4 have stayed under.

*VT's last 6 have gone under

*12-3 under the total in the last 15 meetings

*VT under 6-1 on Mondays

VT under 4-1 last 5 at home

10* over 156

5-1 over in the last 6 meetings. The earlier game ended with 159 and last year at W&M saw 168 points. C of C has played overs in 19 of their last 26 CAA games. College of Charleston has 3 players averaging between 17 and 18 points. 

William and Mary over trends:

*over 41-18-1 last 60 in CAA

*over in 5 of last 7

*over 22-7 last 29 in CAA

It is Senior Day at W&M as Cohn, Burchfield, Tot and Harrison will be honored. Hopefully, they can score and we see an over on Saturday.

10* over 170.5

It is a lot of points but I think we see an over as W&M can score and allow points. Both teams are coached by former UNC coach/player (Tony Shaver and CB McGrath). W&M is close to #1 in 3's and has 5 players scoring 10 or more.

10* over 133

ODU must be feeling confidence after scoring 100 at home. UTEP just won at Charlotte in a game with over 170 points. ODU is full of seniors and juniors like the Stith brothers, Randy Haynes, Ahmad Caver and Carver. Add Xavier Green, a freshman who scored 16 off the bench.

ODU has won 20 games and is known for defense but has played some high scoring games against VCU, W&M, Marshall and UTSA.

Take the over.

10* over 150.5

Notre Dame has played recent home games with plenty of points after adjusting to the loss of injured Benji Colson. They do have 4 key scorers in Gibbs, Farrell, Pfugler and Geben. UNC likes to play fast and just played a game with NCSU with 170+ points. Their home games:

Duke 160

Pitt 161

NCSU 166 (before OT)

162 (Boston College)

142 Wake Forest

154 Wofford

The game last year at UNC was played in Greensboro and had 159 but Colson played in the game.

Hopefully, Berry, Pinson, Maye and Williams play well for the Tar Heels and we see over 150.5.

10* under 5.5

43 overs and 66 unders combined between these two teams. They have played their share of 3-2 games in recent years. I hope to see a 3-2 game that stays under on Sunday.

10* over 160

W&M had 5 players averaging over 12.8 ppg and they are #1 in the nation in shooting 3's at 44.5%. They have played overs in 8 of their last 11 games, 23 overs in their last 30 CAA games and 39-17-1 overs in their last 57 home games.

Drexel has 6 players averaging 9.9 or better and have played 9 overs in their last 13 CAA games and 7 overs in their last 10 on the road. 

Their meeting last year at W&M was 108-85 (193 points). Take the over on Saturday, which opened at 160 at bookmaker on Friday night.

10* over the total

W&M has been playing overs at home. Their game with JMU went over due to overtime but overs have been due to W&M scoring and allowing points. They did just play at Elon recently but last year's meeting in Williamsburg have over 160 points.

10* over 146

These two played a game in the 160's about 2 weeks ago. Last year's game at Clemson went into OT and had plenty of points. UNC will score and foul late if they are down.

10* under 69.5

This total was at 79.5 a few weeks ago and moved upward some. The venue changed from Hawaii to Orlando last year and we saw a low score as the teams got $61,000 for winning and $30,000 for losing. They took pride in defense and we saw a lower score unlike the 90 to 100 points several years ago.

10* over 140

I had hoped to get 139. Ga Tech has played 6 of 8 at home and played some low scoring games. Their last 11 ACC games have seen 9 unders, 1 over and a push. They just played an ugly home game vs. Virginia and now play at UNC. 

Ga Tech's game at UNC two years ago was 86-78. GT's games with Tennessee had 147 and the Wright State game had 166. 

UNC has played overs in 9 of its last 10 home games. Last year, GT tallied 167 at Duke, 162 at NC State, 150 with Wake Forest and 151 at Syracuse. 

I won't be shocked to see a low scoring game but it's not often you get a low total like this at Chapel Hill.

10* over 154

William and Mary plays a fast pace at home with five players scoring over 10 ppg. They shoot 3's well and are over 80% from the line. The meeting with Northeastern last year at home produced 163 points. The trends point to an over: 

W&M:

over 5-1 last 5

over 20-6 last 26 CAA games

over 37-17-1 last 55 home games

NE:

over 5-0 last 5 road games

over 7-2 last 9 overall

Hopefully, the small amount of snow in the area won't keep away the fans.

Playing the over in W&M home games until we see an under.

10* under 157

Georgetown and Nova played two games in the 130's last year. The game is at Georgetown so I expect them to try to play solid defense against on of the best teams in the nation and their only way to keep it close.

10* under 231

The game on Christmas Day had less than 200 points. All it takes is for some defense and one team to struggle to score and we see a game in the 220's. Take the under on Monday.

10* under 154.5

Miami will need to slow it down to stop Duke and they are at home off a loss at Clemson. Duke has Bagley and Grayson Allen and plenty of freshmen. Miami's Jim Larranaga is smart enough to try to slow it down. These two played a 55-50 game at Miami last year.

10* over 153

W&M plays faster at home. They are led by Justin Pierce, Knight and David Cohn. Cioach Tony Shaver has a system that can score inside and make 3's and speeds up the opponent as well. We did win with the over in their game with JMU and were lucky to see OT.

10* over 159

These two just played at JMU and made it to 160. W&M has played high scoring games at home. Pierce, Knight and Cohn have been solid. Take the over on Thursday night.

10* over 210.5

The 3 meetings this year have all gone over. They have made it to 218, 235 and 228. 

10* over 135

MSU has 5 players at 10 ppg or more and play at home off a loss. I think we see 140 or more tonight.

10* under 172

I was hoping for a higher total as Oklahoma is tough with Trae Young at guard but West Va under Bobby Huggins should play some solid defense and have this game stay in the 160's. Take the under.

10* over 164

Both games last year had over 170 points. W&M plays much faster at home . I hope to see 170 today.

10* under 170.5

This is a high total for an early conference game in the Big 12 that takes place between Christmas and New Year's. All it takes is for one team to struggle to score and we have a game in the 160's. Take the under.

10* over 52.5

It is a high total for division teams but both are solid on offense with future Hall Of Fame QB's. The over has won 6-2-1 in the last 9 in New Orleans.

10* over 151

Coastal Carolina is coached by Cliff Ellis, who used to be at Clemson. He has been at CC for 11 years. Their game with Iona had over 170 points. Wake Forest is a high scoring team coached by Danny Manning. They have some solid shooters like Randolph Childress' son and some inside players who should be able to score vs. the smaller CC players.

10* under 203.5

Detroit's trends:

10* under 156

These two played a game in the 140's in Chapel Hill. Rick Barnes is the Tennessee coach, who is from the state of North Carolina and used to coach at Clemson in the ACC. UNC has been off for a week due to exams and Cam Johnson is still out with an injury.

10* under 46

Trends for the under:

Chargers: 
under 5-0 in week 15 
under 7-1 last 8 games 
under 7-1 last 8 on Saturday 
under 7-1 last 8 vs. AFC 
under 19-7-1 last 27 in December

KC 
under 4-1 last 5 
under 6-2 last 8 on Saturday 
under 42-19 last 61 at home 
under 2-14 last 16 home in Dec/Jan 
under 5-2 last 7 meetings

10* under 203

Portland has unders in 13 of their last 17 while Miami has unders in 8 of its last 9 games. I hope to see a low score.

10* under 150.5

I think we see some solid defense from these two schools on Wednesday night and a score that ends in the 140's.

10* under 144

I think this is too high of a total for a game played at ODU. I think we see 136 to 142 scored on Saturday night as Jeff Jones likes to focus on defense.

Army vs. Navy

Saturday 3pm

#103/104

10* under 51

These two have played 10 unders in a row. They run the ball on most plays so the clock stays moving. They are familiar with each others plays. The last 5 meetings have seen 38, 38, 17, 41 and 30 points. Navy has 4 overs/7 unders this year. Both Army and Navy have 13 unders in their last 16 games played in the month of December. Take the under.

10* over 2.5

I think we see a 2-1 score on Wednesday. Manchester United is one of the top 3 offensive teams in the EPL and their opponent has seen their share of matches with 3 goals.

10* under 48.5

Buffalo just played a 10-0 game. New England and Buffalo know each other real well and the Patriot defense has been solid for the past month. Brady can put points on the board but I think we see 41 to 45 scored on Sunday.

10* under 83

These two had a total set at 69 in their earlier game, which ended 40-13 (53). They did combine for 14 overs and 7 unders this year and saw some high scoring games. However, this game should have some pressure for the conference title and the early 12 noon start may slow things down.

Take the under, which is at 83.

10* over 136.5

MSU just played a very low scoring game with UNC which was their third game in 4 days and now they return home.

Notre Dame has some solid players like Colson and Farrell. I think we see an over with close to 140 points.

10* over 145.5

UNC is off a pitiful shooting game that was a loss on a neutral floor. Now they return home as 10 point favorites in front of their fans. Michigan is a low scoring team but has played games with plenty of points in the past. I think Maye and Berry play well and we get an over.

10* under 212.5

I like the under based on trends for the Thunder:

10* under 207

Utah under 6-0 last 6 on Tuesdays.

Under is 6-1 last 7 at Utah.

Under 18-7-1 last 26 meetings.

Take the under.

10* under 212

The trends point to an under:

10* under 172.5

I like the under since this game is played at 12 noon and they may get off to a slow start.

10* under 157

Villanova plays solid defense. The afternoon start may see this game end lower than expected. I think we see 150 to 155 scored.

10* under 166.5

This total seems too high for an afternoon game played on a Monday. All it takes is for a slow period and it ends with 160-164 points.

10* under 234.5

Golden State is on the road and just played a high scoring game yesterday after falling behind by close to 20 points after one period. Hopefully, we see a 120-110 type of game that stays under the total.

Take the under on Sunday.

10* under 51

The game is at night and the weather is expected to be cold with some wind and rain. BC QB is out so they will use a backup. BC has 3 overs and 7 unders this year and the last 3 meetings ended in the 30's. UConn's defense does concern me but I think it ends with 50 points or less.

10* over 153.5

I think we see an over on Saturday. W&M used to be a slow team but they like to shoot 3's and play faster now. I think this reaches 160 points.

10* under 160

This game is played on a neutral court at 11:30am. I think we see an under that ends in the 150's.

10* under 158.5

I like the under as this will be played on a neutral court. Duke has a young team. MSU is solid under Tom Izzo.I hope to see a game in the 152 to 156 range.

10* under 229.5

These two played earlier and the Lakers won. The Suns changed coaches after a slow start and are playing better defense. Take the under as I think we see a game with 224 to 228 points.

10* under 56

The playoffs are here. I hope there is plenty of pressure to slow down the scoring. The last 20 meetings have produced 13 unders, 6 overs and one push. The last meeting ended in the upper 40's. I like under 56.

10* under 42

I think we see a game with 36 to 40 points on Sunday so take the under.

10* under 59.5

I like the under here. Miami did play a high scoring game with Toledo but others have been under 59 points. Notre Dame is off a high scoring game at home with Wake Forest but goes on the road to face a decent defense that will be fired up. The Irish are better at running it that throwing it.

10* over 141.5

Take the over as UNC will not have Joel Berry but will be home and push the pace. 

10* under 231

I think the total is too high. Golden State can play good defense at times.

10* under 236

Phoenix returns home after a road trip. Both teams have combined for plenty of overs so far but this is a high total. All it takes is for one slow quarter and we get a game in the 230-233 range that stays under.

Avellino vs. Perugia

Monday

Italy series B

10* over 2.5 (-125)

Perugia's last 6 matches have totaled 6, 3, 6, 3, 6 and 3 goals. Avellino games have reached 3 goals in 8 of their last 11. Matches in the league average 2.87 goals per game. These are below average teams that can score and allow goals. I hope to see a 2-1 score.

10* under 54

These two teams like to run the ball which can use up clock. Both kicked plenty of field goals in recent games which help an under. I think we see a game in the 45 to 51 range on Sunday so take the under!

10* under 51.5

Cold weather should effect this game as well as back up QB's. I hope to see a game in the 40's that stays under.

10* over 6

Vegas has been scoring goals as well as allowing them. Their early totals were set at 5.5 but now the last two are at 6. I hope to see 7 or more goals on Thursday.

10* over 6

We won with over 5.5 last night in the NYI vs. Vegas game and there were 9 goals. I hope to see 7 or more tonight as Vegas can score as well as allow goals.

10* over 5.5

Vegas has been a nice surprise but they have played mostly home games. They have reached 7, 6, 5, 9, 4, 9 and 7 goals in their last 7 games while NY has totaled 8, 10, 8, 8 and 7. I do worry that Vegas may struggle on the road but I like our chances to get 6 goals and win with over 5.5 on Monday night.

Thanks and GL....

10* under 7

I think Kershaw is hard to hit and Dallas Keuchel pitches like he did in the regular season.

10* under 6

I think we see 5 goals on Monday night.
