50* ONE & ONLY NFL GAME OF THE YEAR

New England Patriots -6

The Patriots impressed the hell out of me coming back from 14 down to the Baltimore Ravens. This team is the real deal. Belichick is, without a doubt, the best coach in the league. He will know how to slow down Andrew Luck. The Colt's QB has been playing well but is prone to making mistakes. He still is a young QB. Every time he has faced the Patriots, he has been totally BLOWN OUT. Remember last year's playoff matchup? Yeah, huge laugher. I expect the same result here with a ton of points. Tom Brady and the Patriots played all year to ensure their home field advantage for this game. This team is a force to be reckoned with in Gillette Stadium. The cool pick is Indianapolis for this game and there is actually more bets placed on the Colts. Whenever the public likes a dog, especially in a game of this magnitude, you ride the favorite. I like the Patriots to run through this team on both sides of the ball. The Colts now have the added distraction of the rape charges and this just adds even more to our case to take the Pats. We have the better coach, better team, better situation, home field, public perception, distractions, and line value going for us in this game.

Portland Trailblazers -4

The Trailblazers are unstoppable at home. This Moda Center crowd is one of the best in the game. The Clippers are one of the worst road teams in the league, especially when playing the better teams of the league. They have just ONE win on the road against a team with a winning record on the season. They are also just 1-7 ATS on the road against the good teams this season. The Clippers have LeBron James on deck and they could be looking ahead to that contest. Portland is as close to a sure thing at home as their is in the NBA and we'll lay the short number here tonight.

Denver Nuggets -2

This situation favors Denver heavily. There's a reason why the Nuggets are favored in the contest. They have won 4 straight and have played well against the Western Conference. Dallas is just 3-5 ATS on back to backs and going to Denver is one of the worst situations in the NBA.

70* #1 BIGGEST PLAY OF THE SEASON

6 POINT TEASER: NEW ENGLAND -1 + DENVER -1 

If you simply refuse to play a teaser or can't, play 40* on Denver -7

The NFL wants this story book matchup of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in the AFC Championship. Both New England and Denver are lights out at home. I trust New England to at least get the victory and I do expect Denver to cover the spread. The Broncos should tear up this Colts defense. Indianapolis has NO pass rush. Peyton Manning will eat you alive if you don't pressure him. The Colts have NO running game. Denver's defense can rush the passer and sit back and just worry about the pass. Manning knows he doesn't have that many years left and the Broncos know it too. Once Manning is gone, this team is done. This could be their last chance at a Super Bowl with Manning and I don't see any scenario where Denver doesn't win this game.

Side notes: New England is 16-1 straight up it's last 17 home games. The Broncos are 25-3 at home since Manning joined the Broncos including going 8-0 this season at home. Denver is also 16-3 ATS playing with 2+ weeks of rest.

30*

Washington Wizards +4.5

Even though the Hawks are one of the hottest teams in the league, the Wizards should give them a run for their money. The play Atlanta very tough and have won ATS in 4 straight games. The Wizards have the perfect type of team to match up against the Hawks and they play very well against the great teams of the league. They are 15-5 ATS and they are 10-3 ATS on the road. I expect Washington to stay inside the number and should have a great chance at the outright victory.

50* VEGAS INSIDER

Seattle Seahawks -10.5

This is an extraordinary mismatch. Seattle is playing the best ball in the league and Carolina's success is smoke and mirrors. The Seahawks have given up 37 points in 6 games. SIX GAMES. That is incredible. If you just look at the way Carolina played against Arizona, this game shouldn't even be close. Arizona had 70 yards of offense and the worst punter in the world and barely covered that spread. If Arizona had any sort of QB, they win that ball game. Cam missed a ton of throws and the team made way too many mistakes, and that was a HOME game. Imagine how they are going to be against the best home field advantage in the game. Seattle should absolutely destroy this team. I don't expect Carolina to score above 13-14 points in this game. As long as Seattle's offense just has a decent day, they win this one going away.

50* NCAA-B SEC GAME OF THE YEAR

Alabama +2.5

The Tide have some serious revenge from getting beat last year at home by the Vols. Alabama is much improved and the Vols have declined. Alabama does a ton of work from the foul line and is very good at it. A very important factor for taking underdogs is how well they shoot free throws. Same goes with taking road teams and the Tide is one of the best. Tennessee should come out flat in this game. They haven't played anyone good lately and when they played a team with any talent early in the season, they got beat. Bama is battle tested recently destroying the Aggies and losing a nail biter to the Shockers by just one point, and that was on the road. I expect Alabama to win this game outright and will place some of my wager on the money line when it comes out in the morning.

20*

Sacramento Kings -4.5

In a nutshell, the loss of Mosgov is going to be huge for Denver as now they don't have their rim protector. JaVale McGee is injured so Faried is going to be forced into a lot of minutes. DeMarcus Cousins should have a field day in the post. The Kings come off a very impressive win against OKC last time out and now they are playing their second straight home game. Good spot here for the Kings as they should take care of business tonight against the Nuggets.

40*

Minnesota Timberwolves +9

The Timberwolves should give a solid effort here tonight. They have covered 4 in a row against the Bucks and Milwaukee hasn't covered in 4 straight home games. Although Minnesota has been on a 13 game skid. They haven't been getting destroyed night in and night out. They have lost by less than double digits in half of those games. Milwaukee just recently blew out Philadelphia and I expect them to look past Minnesota here and let them stay inside the number tonight.

20*

Indiana Pacers -4

The Celtics beat this team in the garden earlier this season and I see the Pacers getting their revenge here. The Pacers still play amazing defense and have the best in the league. They should give this young Celtics team fits. One of my top NBA guys loves this play and we agree with the Pacers being the right side here.

40* NBA ON TNT GAME OF THE WEEK

Miami Heat +8.5

This just seems like way too many points to be giving the Heat tonight. Portland continues to struggle in games because of their short bench. Their starters play a ton of minutes and this team relies way too heavily on the jump shot and three pointers. If they go cold from the field, it's going to be a long night for them. I expect Miami to play solid defense tonight and stay inside this big number.

40* NBA BAILOUT SLAMDUNK

Oklahoma City Thunder -7

OKC got blown out last time out against the Golden State Warriors and now they are 1 game below .500 on the season. A good situation in the Pro sports is when a team is one game below .500 they usually give a very solid effort their next game to get back to even on the season and not have a losing record. We get OKC in 2 solid situations here and they are also playing a very bad Sacramento Kings team. The Kings are the worst team ATS in the league of late. This team has just 1 spread win in their last 12 home games, and are just 1-11 and 1-12 following a SU and ATS loss respectively. Sacramento doesn't play team basketball and if Durant and Westbrook can get on a roll, this should be a complete blowout.

50* PRE NBA ALL STAR GAME OF THE YEAR

Milwaukee Bucks -6

I absolutely love this play now since Milwaukee lost last night so I believe they will not look pass Philadelphia here. Milwaukee has been playing very good ball of late and they are starting to hit a groove. They recently were -7 favorites on the road against the New York Knicks and they blew them out. I believe we are getting a ton of value here with this number only at -6. How is this number one point LESS with Philly than New York. Philadelphia always has the ability to get blown out on any given night. What makes this play even better is that the 76ers finally got their first home win of the season. I believe they take a sigh of relief here and come out in this game flat. Milwaukee is 17-5 ATS their last 22 road games and Philadelphia is just 1-5 ATS their last 6 games. The Bucks should tear apart this weak 76ers team and bounce back nicely from their loss last night.

side note: I personally played a moneyline parlay with Milwaukee and Oklahoma City for -130 odds.

40* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

Atlanta Hawks +5.5

The Atlanta Hawks are ATS covering machines. In their current situation, they are undefeated in almost all trend categories. They are 7-0 vs. the Western Conference, 6-0 on the road and 6-0 on the road vs. teams with winning records. They have knocked off practically every good team in the league so far this season. The Hawks are 10-1 against teams with a winning record and they are 9-1 playing on 1 day rest. The Clippers, on the other hand, are horrendous ATS this season. They don't reel off ATS wins together as they are just 1-5 following a spread win and they are just 1-6 playing a team with a winning record. To sum all this up, Atlanta plays lights out against good teams and Los Angeles lays an egg against the good ones. Los Angeles M.O. recently has been that they only beat up on the weaker opponents. This is just way too many points to be giving this Atlanta team that has a great chance of winning this game outright.

30*

Cleveland Cavaliers -4

Even though the Cavaliers are a mess of late, this has given us value on them with this short number against a HORRIBLE 76ers team. I will take my chances here as Philadelphia has the capability to get blown out on any given night. Philadelphia goes through spurts of NO offense especially when Michael Carter Williams ball hogs and throws up just terrible shots. Cleveland should be able to cure their woes here and get a nice pick up and destroying a very bad team tonight.  

40* NBA NON CONFERENCE GAME OF THE MONTH

Detroit Pistons -3

We have been riding these Pistons like a rented mule during their 4 game win streak. This team is HOT. Their playing inspired ever since they got rid of Josh Smith. As for Sacramento, this team is the exact opposite. They are cold. They don't play team basketball, Rudy Gay goes through serious ball hog streaks, and they always have that one quarter where they go completely cold from the field. They are just 3-9 their last 12 games but they only beat the very bad teams of the league. The Kings are also terrible ATS and the Pistons should keep their streak alive drubbing Sacramento tonight.

50* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH

Detroit Lions +7.5

Make sure to get at least +7, I recommend buying the hook if your shop has + 6.5

I simply don't trust Dallas laying this type of number at home, ESPECIALLY in the post season. Yes, Dallas has been playing out of their minds but the playoffs are a totally different beast. Tony Romo has a funk about him that stinks in the big time. He has had a ton of success this year because of the NFL's leading rusher, Demarco Murray. The problem for Dallas is that they are facing the best defense against the run and add in the fact the Donkey Kong Suh is going to be playing this game is HUGE for Detroit. Dallas is just 1-14 as a favorite after being favored the previous week. What this means is that this team is greatly overvalued. The Cowboys are already a very public team so the number is inflated whenever they are a favorite to begin with. I know the struggles Matthew Stafford has had on the road but he is playing in a dome which is huge. I expect this game to be very close through out and getting a touchdown is a no brainer.

Washington Wizards +5.5

I don't see the Wizards losing three straight. Also we get our favorite referee tonight on our side with Joey Crawford. He has cashed 6 straight for us. The story with him is that the road team almost always covers against the spread. Seems like way too many points to be giving this very talented team.

40*

South Carolina +6.5

30*

Golden State -4.5

Toronto is 0-9 their last 9 trips to Oakland. Golden State is a tremendous home team, only losing one game all year. They have covered 6 straight against teams with a winning record. Toronto is the exact opposite. They beat up on the bottom teams as they are 1-7 ATS their last 8 against the top teams in the league.

50* MAX BET

Washington Huskies -5

Oklahoma State lost 5 straight before upsetting the Sooners the last game of the season. As it turns out Oklahoma was severely over-rated. The Cowboys are a bad team. They are 100th in the nation in points allowed and they are about to face one of the best coaches in college football and a terrific offense. Washington is better than their record. Lord knows how they lost the Arizona game when all they had to do was knee the clock and they walk off the field victorious. I feel that the Huskies will be well prepared for this game, especially since their coach is no joke. Oklahoma State has been getting destroyed in their games and I don't see how the Huskies don't destroy them tonight.

30*

Dallas Mavericks -5.5

It's the return of Rajon Rondo tonight to the Garden and I expect a solid effort from the Mavs. Boston now has Smart running the point and he is not ready for the sort of responsibility. The Mavs have been an amazing road team over the past 2 seasons and even better ATS. They are 10-2 in this series on the road and they have covered 5 straight. 

30*

Detroit Pistons -2.5

Going to keep riding this Pistons until they lose. This team has been on a roll ever since they got rid of Josh Smith. The Knicks are a train wreck and the Pistons are hot. I don't think people have caught up to this team yet as this number is very short. You could make an argument that the Knicks are the worst team in basketball.  

50* SUGAR BOWL SHOWDOWN

Alabama -9.5

In a nut shell, Nick Saban is damn near impossible to beat with a month to prepare. Alabama is, without a doubt, the best team in the nation. I believe that Ohio State is overvalued now from drubbing a mediocre Wisconsin team. Let's face it, the Badgers only have one player (Gordon) and their QB SUCKS! Ohio State loves to fall flat on their face in big games and they do it EVERY year in EVERY sport. Alabama routs this team and goes on to the National Title game.

Missouri -5

First, let me start with this. This is SEC vs. Big 10. The SEC is king and the Big 10 was a joke this season. Secondly, Minnesota's coach Jerry Kill, has never won a bowl game. Gary Pinkel, Missouri's coach, will have these kids well prepared after the butt kicking they took against Alabama. We did see that one coming though, because without a doubt Alabama is the best team in the land and they'll win the National title..hint hint. Missouri has played the much tougher schedule and I imagine them giving one hell of an effort here. All their players will be back and healthy for this game and they should destroy this Minnesota team who is just happy to be here. Missouri has an amazing defense and if they get their running game going, this may well be a blowout. Best of Luck and Happy Holidays!

This is SEC vs BIG 12. Advantage Arkansas. The Razorbacks have really stepped up their game towards the end of the season with their running game and their defense. Arkansas should dominate in the trenches on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Texas offense is just terrible and I expect the Razorbacks to win this one by double digits.

30*

Washington Wizards +4

Consider playing 2/3 bet with points and 1/3 bet on moneyline.

Houston comes into this game playing their third game in 4 nights. They played an OT game Friday vs Memphis and then a grueling game against San Antonio last night. Washington has been very impressive this season and has been playing great ball on the road especially against solid competition. They are 7-1 their last 8 against teams with a winning percentage of .600 or higher. 

40*

Sacramento Kings +2

Consider playing 2/3 bet with points and 1/3 bet on moneyline.

Wrong team favored here. Brooklyn is a mess, they have nothing off the bench and shoot at a low percentage. Sacramento has been horrendous ATS of late but I believe the oddsmakers have finally over adjusted to that and now there is value on the Kings. If this team just plays team basketball and Rudy Gay doesn't ball hog for an entire quarter, Sacramento blows them out.

20*

Milwaukee Bucks +3

Consider playing 2/3 bet with points and 1/3 bet on moneyline.

I almost took Milwaukee on the moneyline for the outright victory but we'll take the generous points and the moneyline as well. Milwaukee has been playing very well lately and have been impressive on the defensive side of the ball. They took out Atlanta as they were the hottest team in the NBA. Charlotte is just not a good team and I don't think they should be favored.

Charlotte Hornets +7

The Hornets have won 4 straight now and are starting to gain some momentum. The Thunder just upset the Spurs yesterday on Christmas day and now have to play on back to back days and this is also their 6th game in 9 days. I don't think OKC prepared one bit for the Hornets as they probably went straight to being "family men" for Christmas before and after the ball game yesterday. The Hornets are well rested and I expect them to be very focused and ready to play one of the top teams in the league. This is a lot of points to be laying for the Thunder especially knowing that almost all the key trends favor the Hornets. Charlotte has covered 4 straight road games and 5 straight off a straight up win.

George Washington +6

Miami Heat -8

Philadelphia 76ers come off a win and I expect them to completely lay down in this one. Laying less than double digits with any decent team is the way to go against to the 76ers. I fully expect Miami to blow this one open.

50* MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR

Denver Broncos -3

Bottom line. The Broncos have been favored in 26 straight games. They have covered 24 of them, ALL by a TD or more. Peyton Manning simply doesn't lose. Peyton is the prime-time king and Andy Dalton always is HORRIBLE on the National TV spotlight. The new Broncos offense that has turned into a run first offense, is going to have defenses completely on their toes in every game. They have been running the ball down people's throats. That's the last thing you want when facing Manning. He'll carve you up all night if you commit. The Bengals may be the "cool" underdog pick but don't fall for it. The Bronco's should win this game comfortably.

Dallas Mavericks -10.5

The Spurs have played 2 straight triple overtime games and I totally believe that Pop is going to mail this one in. Dallas should be hyped tonight with Rondo and they should dominate this game from start to finish, especially having revenge from earlier in the season and from the playoffs. 66% of the bets are on the Spurs, yet this line is continuing to rise. The Spurs are just 1-7 ATS against the Mavericks. If this line came out at 7 or less this would have been a Game of The Year for me. Nevertheless, we'll still take Dallas big here as my top NBA guy absolutely loves this play and we agree with it.

30*

Houston Rockets -5

Atlanta has been on fire, winning 11 of its last 12 games. In my opinion that oddsmakers are telling us something here with the line this high on the Rockets. If you look deeper, this Hawks team has struggled mightily against the Rockets. Atlanta is 1-14 straight up in Houston, which includes going 2-8 ATS in Houston. This team also hasn't played well against the Western Conference going just 4-13 their last 17 contest. The Rockets have been a very good team bouncing back this year, going 5-0 after an ATS loss and 6-1 after a straight up loss. Look for Houston to cover this number tonight.  

30*

New Orleans Pelicans -5.5

Going to parlay the Pelicans with the over here. I expect the Pelicans to push the pace here with Portland coming off a huge triple overtime win last night. All key trends have the Pelicans covering this number. They are undefeated in several of them including playing competition with a better than .600 record. The Pelicans have been covering machines lately going 7-1 their last 8.

Houston Rockets -1.5

San Antonio Spurs -3

We took the Grizzlies last night and tonight we will be fading them. The Spurs always get up for games that matter. in a huge western Conference showdown tonight this is their chance to beat the best team in the West right now. the Spurs are the best coach team in the league. they will be prepared to take on the Grizzlies tonight who played last night in a huge contest against Golden State. Memphis finally beat Golden State ending their 16 game winning streak. look for Memphis to come out flat and San Antonio to win a grueling game.

40*

Memphis Grizzlies -2.5

The absence of Andrew Bogut is huge for the Warriors. Memphis is going to dominate in the paint and their size is going to be a nightmare for Golden State. If the Warriors are knocking down threes or shooting a very high percentage, they may get blown out here.

HUGE revenge spot here for the Cowboys who were embarrassed on Thanksgiving in their building.

50* AFC GAME OF THE MONTH

New York Jets -1.5

Before you freak out about laying points with the Jets, there is actually a team drastically worse than them. You guessed it, it's the Tennessee Titans. This team has quit on the season and they are a train wreck at home. This could be the worse any team as ever played in their own building in the history of the game. Tennessee is just 1-11 ATS their last 12 games at home. The Titans have one thing in mind and that's trying to get a Top 3 pick in the NFL draft and they have a good chance at that. The Titans have problems everywhere and they really struggle in the trenches. The Jets should have a field day running the ball and getting to the QB on defense. One last thing...this team lost to the REDSKINS! If you lose to them, you're a joke. Although New York only has 2 wins on the season, they have given a solid effort in most of their games and it doesn't look like they have quit just yet. The Jets should get their first win on the road this season.   

40*

Sacramento Kings -5.5

Detroit pulled a huge upset last night and finally ended their losing streak, which almost reached the franchise record. I fell they're due for a let down here. They finally got they monkey off their back and they'll take this game lightly. As for Sacramento, they were beating the Rockets their last game out the entire game and blew it in the finals seconds and ultimately in overtime. As long as Rudy Gay doesn't completely ball hog and throw up terrible shots, Sacramento wins this game handily. The Kings should play focused tonight after blowing their last game on TNT I might add and let's hope they play team basketball tonight.

20*

Portland Trailblazers -4.5

Let me start by saying this. 2 HORRENDOUS BEATS last night with a garbage bucket with seconds remaining in the Toronto game to send it over and a miraculous buzzer beater to send the game over in Memphis. I HATE nights like those but it's gambling. Let's get it back tonight. 

Part of this play is based the Joey Crawford is the official tonight and it may sound crazy but in a nutshell, the road team covers the spread almost EVERY time he is the head referee. Not to mention that Portland is clearly the better team.

20*

Orlando Magic +3

This team is an incredible underdog. They always give a solid effort and this line seems like a trap. One of my top NBA guys absolutely loves this play and I would have to agree. I wouldn't be surprised if Magic pulled the upset. The Hawks are 0-4 ATS their last 4 meetings against Orlando and I expect the streak to extend to 5 tonight.

30*

St. Louis Rams -4

This would've been a larger play at -3 but we'll play for smaller here at the current number. This line SCREAMS trap as the top team (according to record) is this big of a dog to a team with a LOSING record. This is a fishy as it gets. Yes, part of it is that Arizona isn't the same team without Carson Palmer but St. Louis is better than their record. I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona missed the playoffs now.

San Antonio Spurs -10

plain and simple, this is a classic mismatch. San Antonio comes in this game after getting upset last night by the Jazz. Pop usually gets a great after after losing. the Knicks are the laughing stock of the league. they can't cover a spread to save their life especially on the road.

40* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

Los Angeles Clippers -6.5

The Clippers are on fire and they are spread covering machines on the road. They are a team that matches up well against the Pacers because they can compete with their length inside. The Clippers also have a ton of speed and the Pacers struggle vs. teams with a solid backcourt. Bad news for Indiana is that they have to face possibly the best PG in the game in Chris Paul. Los Angeles is 4-0 their last 4 games following an ATS loss and they are 5-1 ATS vs. teams with a losing record. The Clippers take care of business against the bad teams and there is no reason to believe that they don't dominate tonight.

Michigan -13.5

The Wolverines got embarrassed in one of the biggest upsets of all time losing to NJIT. They now have a chance at instant redemption playing on ESPN. This team should come out completely angry and take out all their frustrations on this EMU team. Yes, Eastern Michigan is 7-1 but they haven't won a game on the road and really haven't played any decent competition. Some would say that this is a look-ahead game for the Wolverines as they face the Arizona Wildcats on deck, but since that huge embarrassing loss, this caliber of program should have the pride to destroy this weaker program in front of their ruckus home crowd tonight. If Michigan didn't lose to NJIT this line would be closer to -20.

Oklahoma City Thunder -12.5

The Philadelphia 76ers finally one their first game of the season and they did it one game shy of the record. They can now breathe a huge sigh of relief. Bad news is they get the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. OKC has had 3 days to prepare for this game and I don't think they are going to take this game lightly since this is the 2nd game back for Durant and everyone is now healthy for them. Having that extra time off is huge for that team to get back into form. With this being Durant and Westbrook's "true" first game back with each other, I see them taking out all their frustrations on this team. Remember what happened to the Oakland Raiders last week after the won their first game of the season? Yeah, they lost 52-0! I see a very similar result here as the Thunder should crush the 76ers tonight.

The Flyers are just a complete mess. They are in a combined 0-23 spot and not to mention that they are in the dreaded 4th game in 6 nights. They are going to drag ass tonight and the Ducks should dominate this game from start to finish.

Utah Jazz +4.5

Toronto is in a difficult scheduling spot here as they are playing the dreaded back to back in Utah and they have a look-ahead game to Cleveland on deck. Utah is a different ball club at home and they are always a live dog in front of their home fans. Don't be surprised if Toronto comes out flat and Utah pulls the upset. 

BONUS TEASER: Charlotte +8.5 & Milwaukee +9.5...both Chicago and Dallas played a grueling 2OT game last night and they had to travel on no rest. Look for these two teams to keep it respectable.

Miami Heat -4.5

The Heat recently got blown out by Washington and I think they'll bounce back nicely here. They get Atlanta on no rest from a spectacular come back last night against Boston and historically, the Hawks haven't played that well in Miami going 8-20 ATS. Also one of my top NBA guys loves this play and we agree.

Boston Celtics -4.5

The Pistons are a train wreck. They can't cover a spread or even win a game. EVERY key trend is a negative for Detroit tonight. Boston is playing this game with revenge from an earlier loss to the Pistons and they actually have been playing decent ball on no rest going 5-1 ATS their last 6 games.

San Antonio Spurs -8

The Spurs are clearly the better team. The are rested and they have been dominant in Brooklyn. The Spurs have covered 12 of the last 14 meetings against the Nets at Barclay's center. EVERY key trend is a negative for the Nets has they are terrible after a S.U win going 3-13 ATS. I personally bought a point to -7 since that is a very key number in the NBA.

Los Angeles Lakers +8.5

I simply don't trust Washington laying this number. They play to the level of their opponents and they don't get up for teams with losing records. They are in a combined 0-24 ATS spot playing teams with a losing record at home tonight. The Lakers have been playing solid ball lately and have been doing damage against the spread. Look for LA to keep it close tonight.
