Orlando Magic +13.5

The Magic have been amazing as underdog's this year and a lot of people are still sleeping on this team. They play this game with revenge against the Warriors and this just seems like way too many points. Golden State returns home from a long road trip and they may lack focus here. I wouldn't be shocked if Curry didn't play this game. Orlando has been covering machines on the road this year, especially against quality opponents. They are undefeated in many categories and are 7-2 their last 9 road games ATS.

Side note: Joey Crawford is the head ref tonight. The road team cashes 2 out of every 3 when he is the head referee.

Virginia Commonwealth (VCU) -3.5

Cleveland Cavaliers -11

Going to give LeBron James and company a shot here as I feel they may have turned the corner from their awful start to the season. They have now won 3 in a row in blow out fashion and I think this team could finally be starting to gel. If Cleveland plays to their potential and doesn't fall down and actually play some defense, this should be a total blowout.

20*

Louisiana State (LSU) -2.5

30*

Los Angeles Clippers -13.5

Minnesota gave one hell of an effort last night only to still lose straight up AND against the spread. They now have to travel to the Staples Center on no rest to face the Clippers. Although LA does return from a long road trip, I still believe they won't take this game lightly. The West is so tough and every game is very important. The Clippers had their struggles at the beginning of the season but now they have seem to turn a corner and really have been laying a beating on some teams. They blew out Houston, Utah, Charlotte, Orlando, and Phoenix on their recent road trip. EVERY key trend is a negative for Minnesota and they are flat out awful ATS. Look for the Clippers to finally cure their ATS woes at home tonight.

50* NBA ROAD WARRIOR OF THE MONTH

Toronto Raptors -6

One of my favorite situations in the NBA is when a teams star player goes out with an injury and you play on that team the first game without said player. The other players rise their level of play and give a inspired effort. Also the line usually gets over adjusted as well. Toronto is in this situation tonight in LA. They also lost their last game out and they have been a very good team bouncing back. Toronto is 5-1 their last 6 following an ATS loss and 22-6 their last 28 following a straight up loss. The Raptors also have played well against the Western Conference and they are just clearly a better team than the Lakers. Look for the Raptors to roll.

50* MID-MAJOR GAME OF THE YEAR

Western Michigan -7

This team is AMAZING against the spread. They are UNDEFEATED in a TON of trends but here are a few really good ones: 8-0 ATS their last 8 conference games. 7-0 ATS their last 7 games following a straight up win and 9-0 ATS their last 9 following an ATS win. WMU is also 4-0 ATS their last 4 games against a team with a winning record. To top it all off they are an incredible 11-1 their last 12 games ATS overall. All trends aside, Western Michigan has a chance to play spoiler and knock out Northern Illinois from the top stop in the MAC West in front of their home fans. The spread of 7 tells me a whole lot and I think they stomp the Huskies today.

30*

LSU -3

Just don't see how Les Miles and the Tigers lose three straight. Too physical and too big of a program too let the season go. Texas A&M I feel is overrated and this LSU defense should frustrat the Aggies.

50* NFC GAME OF THE MONTH

Dallas Cowboys -3

Playing on the short week is tough but doing it on the road is a very difficult task. Philadelphia could be in some trouble here as Mark Sanchez is playing on the road in the National spotlight. We all know what happened last time on Thanksgiving. Yes, it was the butt fumble. DeMarco Murray should run all over these guys and they have the advantage here in the running game as LeSean McCoy has done nothing recently since the injury to Nick Foles. Thanksgiving and the Cowboys go together and for this reason I see the NFL and the refs practically handing every call to the home team here. Dallas should get the job done and take over first in the NFC East in front of their home crowd today.

30*

Brooklyn Nets -8

Too put it lightly...Philadelphia sucks. They are the laughing stock of the league and they are already in tank mode. Even though Brooklyn isn't the greatest team by all means, they still are, IMO, at least a double digit favorite over this 76ers squad. Philly struggles mightily in the 4th and that's when Brooklyn will pull away and cover this number.

40* NCAA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK

Pittsburgh +5

San Diego State had to play BYU in a grueling 2 OT game late last night  and they have got to be tired. SD state was also playing with pace and this team CAN NOT shoot free throws to save their lives. Will gladly take the points here as Pittsburgh should win this game outright.

40* SITUATIONAL SMACKDOWN

Denver Nuggets -2.5

Chicago is in one of the worst scheduling spots in the NBA...the dreaded back to back from Utah to Denver. Denver being favored here ought to tell you something as Chicago blew a late lead last night and had to use a ton of energy to come back and beat the Jazz. Denver should run this team into the ground as the Bulls are a slow offensively challenged team as it is.

30* NBA PARLAY

Atlanta Hawks +5

The Hawks are coming off 3 days rest and they are a great team in this situation. They have won 6 of their last 7 in this situation. They always play Washington tough. The Wizards are not a good team when they are favored against teams with a winning record. Atlanta should have a great chance of winning this game outright.

30* BONUS DOG

Hofstra +2.5

30*

New Orleans Saints -3

Pretty much it comes down to this...I don't see any way how the Saints can lose 3 straight in the Superdome, especially this being a Primetime game where the Saints have been on fire. The Ravens clearly aren't the same team on the road as they are at home. New Orleans needs this game to stay on top of that horrendous NFC South, where it looks like a losing record will win the division this year. Look for the Saints and the New Orleans crowd to get the job done in style tonight.

40* NBA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK

Phoenix Suns +5

First off, let me start with this. The 5 point spread in the NBA is always a sign to look at the underdog. It's just one of those numbers, especially on the road. The Suns are riding high as they are on a 4 game winning streak and this is their final game of the east coast road trip for them. They took both meetings from Toronto last year and they also covered the spread. In fact they are 5-1 ATS the last 6. More good news for the Suns is that they are 6-1 ATS their last 7 coming off a blowout win. With 70% of the public on Toronto, we'll fade the public and take Phoenix here.

20*

Portland Trailblazers -12.5

All I have to say is this game is a complete mismatch and Philadelphia is a very bad team. Portland should mop the floor with these guys and win by 20+ points. The way Portland plays, with their 3 point shooting and rebounding, they are built to blowout teams like this.

20*

New York Jets +3

I just have to make this play. I recommend getting the +3. With all the weather problems surrounding Buffalo and their inability to practice should effect them immensely. It was hard enough to get these players together and out of their houses. Moving this game to Detroit now takes away the home field advantage for Buffalo and the Jets are coming off their bye so they have had 2 weeks to prepare for their revenge against the Bills.

30*

UC-Irvine +4.5

40* DOUBLE DOG

Miami Dolphins +7.5

As explained in the AFC TOTAL OF THE YEAR write up, this should be a lower scoring game. With that being said, Miami should be able to keep this one close. They have the type of defense that can really frustrate Manning and they are still flying under the radar. They last played on Thursday Night Football, so Miami has had a while to prepare. This should be a much closer game than most expect. 

Money has come in on the visitors here and the line has dropped to +6.5. I would recommend buying the hook but this is still a top play at this number. 

30* DOUBLE DOG

Cleveland Browns +3

Riding with Cleveland here because, in my opinion, the better team is getting points.

The New Orleans Pelicans are in what quite possibly could be the worst scheduling spot in basketball. The back to back Denver to Utah road trip. The high altitude will kill these players. The short number indicates that Utah is a live dog especially after they got blown out last night. Utah is definitely a better team at home with all their young talent and they should win this game outright tonight.

Washington Capitals -1.5

Plain and simple, Buffalo sucks on the road and the Capitals are a fantastic home team. The Capitals have a high powered offense and they can definitely light the lamp a few times against these Sabres. I expect this game to be a lop sided rout as Buffalo is just outmatched in every way in this game. 

30*

Virginia +6

50* NCAA UNDERDOG GAME OF THE YEAR

Louisville +3.5

Notre Dame is a mess. They had one of the worst coaching decisions EVER in their game against Northwestern and sure enough it cost them the game. They are a, what I like to call, dream killed team. They realize now they have no shot and they are going through the motions. I don't know if this team can recover. What makes it worse for Notre Dame is that they have USC on deck, their hated rival. Even worse news for the Irish is that Louisville gives up less than 100 yards a game on the ground. That is fantastic, especially when backing the underdog. Louisville showed they have a lot of heart against BC after they dominated them coming off that horrendous loss to FSU. In my opinion, Louisville is the better team and I think Louisville wins this game outright. (More on this game later)

50* TNT GAME OF THE MONTH

Sacramento Kings -2.5

The Bulls will be without 2 of their stars. Chicago comes off a huge win over the Clippers on the first game of their road trip. A great angle in the NBA is fading a team their second game of the road trip. Also, another solid angle is fading a team the second game with out their star player. That's what we have here. The Kings have a great fan base and they should be rocking here tonight. The Kings have played a tough schedule this year, perhaps the toughest, so they have been performing well. They come in off a loss so I see them being extra focused here and should get the W in front of their home town fans tonight.

Pepperdine -3.5

50* NBA BLOWOUT GAME OF THE MONTH

Houston Rockets -13

The Los Angeles Lakers finally got their 2nd win of the young season last night, although they tried everything to blow a 17 point lead and almost did. Houston comes in off an embarrassing blow out loss to the Grizzlies as their offense forgot to show up and Harden had the worst game of this career. The Lakers are the perfect team for the Rockets to take out all their frustrations on. Dwight Howards hates L.A and usually puts up great numbers against them. With Los Angeles playing last night and Houston on rest, the Rockets should run and gun the Lakers to death and completely blow them out of the gym.

Brooklyn is 4-2 this season but they haven't played anybody yet. They have beaten up on bottom feeders and I think their true colors show here tonight. The Suns are dynamite at home and they are playing with a ton of revenge here. They haven't beaten the Nets since they were playing in New Jersey. You best believe these players want to get that monkey off their back with a big performance in front of their home crowd.

30*

Boston Celtics -5.5

Oklahoma City played last night and this team is going no where without their stars. Boston has been playing great ball lately and they even upset Chicago as 9 point dogs. The Celtics haven't won against the Thunder in ages and in fact they have been blown out in every game they have played. This is their chance to get a W and keep their win streak alive against a depleted Thunder ball club.

30*

Charlotte Hornets +7

My number one NBA guy is all over this play and with the total dropping and the line moving our way I have to agree with this one. Batum is a huge part of this team and is a key perimeter defender. With him being out, the way to look to this game is Charlotte.

40*

Dallas Mavericks -7

Simple fact here is that Dallas is an amazing bounce back team. They are 45-14 against the number off a straight up loss. They are 11-2 against the West and they 7-1 ATS versus a team with a winning record. I still feel that the Kings are smoke in mirrors and Dallas should win by double digits here.

40*

St. Louis Blues -1.5

Good ol fashioned blow out here. Buffalo gives solid efforts at home but they are notorious for getting blown out on the road. St Louis is favored at -400 in this game. Getting them to win by 2 at -125 is a steal given the fact that the empty netter is always alive give us a great shot here.

30*

Washington Capitals -1.5

Looks like the Caps might have put their 5 game losing streak behind them and they are getting the Blue Jackets at the perfect time. Columbus is banged up and they are a sinking ship right now. I will not lay -200 with this team but give me +150 with just one more goal and when we have a chance at an empty netter and I'll take it all day.

30* 

San Antonio Spurs +3

analysis soon

I rarely do teasers in basketball but I like a 5 point teaser with New Orleans to +11.5 and San Antonio + 8. As long as New Orleans is more than +10 and San Antonio is more than +7, I think the teaser is a very solid bet.

30*

New Orleans Pelicans +6.5

Cleveland finally got a win after they beat Denver last week. People are going to believe that they righted the ship and that they are back on track. Let's just wait a second. Denver stinks and the Cavs almost blew a huge lead. They can't do that against the Pelicans team or they will get stomped. Anthony Davis is going to give this team some serious problems. I feel that this just way too many points. As a side note, Joe Crawford is the referee for tonight's game. There is a stat that shows the Crawford favors the away teams like crazy. It's around 75% SU and 65% ATS from the road squads. Also this line opened at -8 and has high as 10 and now has dropped with most of the bets on Cleveland. Look the New Orleans to keep this game close. 

I rarely do teasers in basketball but I like a 5 point teaser with New Orleans to +11.5 and San Antonio + 8. As long as New Orleans is more than +10 and San Antonio is more than +7, I think the teaser is a very solid bet.

30*

Phoenix Suns -1

A big theme today for us is fading the public and that's what we'll be doing with this pick as well. Golden State comes off a huge win over Houston and Phoenix comes off an tough OT loss to the Kings. I expect the Warriors to come out flat and the Suns to be extra focused, especially looking for revenge from losing the last meeting. Phoenix plays great ball at home and Golden State isn't the same squad as they are at Oracle. The Suns are rested and Golden State is playing a back to back. Going with the Suns to take care of business tonight.

30*

Dallas Mavericks -8

Just like the OKC game, we'll be following the money here and for good reason. Again the public is all over the Heat with 75% of the bets on them and the line has jumped from -6 to -8. Dallas should be able to run up and down the floor on these guys. A big key for them is hitting their threes. If they're dropping, this could be a double digit blowout. Also they clearly have the advantage in the post with Tyson Chandler and Dirk so plenty of 2nd chance opportunities should help cover this number for us. The Mavericks problem is coming out of the half cold. If they can get their 3rd quarter woes together, they can do some serious damage this season.

50* NFC GAME OF THE YEAR

New Orleans Saints -4

Let's face it. Sean Payton, Drew Brees, and the Saints don't lose at home. They are amazing against the number as well in the Superdome. This team looks as it has turned the corner and are now clicking as a unit. The Saints MO is that they can't win on the road and they have proved it again this year. The beginning of the year was heavy in road games and it made the Saints look like they weren't a good team. Now they are getting into the schedule where they have a lot of home games and they will take full advantage. The San Francisco 49ers are in trouble. It looks as if Harbaugh has lost the team and he is going to be out sooner right than later. This locker room is in trouble and that does play a big part in the NFL. They suffered another tough loss last week to the Rams as Kaepernick fumbled a game winning QB sneak as time expired. This only made matters worse for them. This noise in Louisiana is going to get on the nerves of the 49ers and when New Orleans starts to build a lead, I see the 49ers to start to turn on each other, fall apart, and that's when Drew Brees and company are just going to steamroll them. The Saints offense is incredible at home and San Francisco's offense is so bad that I don't see how the 49ers can even come close to matching points with them. This game could spiral out of control for San Fran as New Orleans cruises to the victory.

50* BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR

Kansas State +6.5

This is just way too many points to give one of the best coached teams in the nation. Bill Snyder is one hell of a coach and he is the master of getting his players ready for big games, especially on the road. Bill Snyder has covered 13 out of 14 when his team is a road dog and he has won 7 of them outright. Let's not forget that this team is oh so close to being undefeated as they completely coughed up the game against Auburn as they missed 3 fgs. TCU has struggled in the big games this year, especially against WVU, where they had no business winning that game. Kansas State knows that with a win here the Big 12 Title is within reach and even a playoff bid could be in order. I would not be surprised if K State won this game outright.

Texas +3.5

We took a bit of a step back last night in the NBA as our top total went down as Pop decided to sit Duncan, Manu, and they couldn't make a three to save their lives. Nonetheless, it was a bad call by me and we look to get it back tonight!

40* NBA ESPN GAME OF THE WEEK

Cleveland Cavaliers -4.5

Everyone is starting to panic in Cleveland after their horrendous 1-3 start. The icing on the cake was losing to the Utah Jazz on a buzzer beater. Part of their woes comes from Kyrie Irving. This man is a point guard and I don't think he knows what an assist is. With the reports now with Lebron feuding with Kyrie, I believe we will see a change tonight. Lebron LOVES ESPN. With this game being on the network, I don't think he's going to sit back. I believe he's going to go off to let the people know to relax. Cleveland needs a win here BADLY. Three losses in a row would be a free-fall for this team. Good news for the Cavaliers is that they get to face the Denver Nuggets. This team has been dreadful to start the year and they don't play any defense. Look for Lebron James and company to take out their frustrations on this Denver Nugget team and get a convincing victory here. I will tell you this. If Cleveland loses this one...IT IS time to panic!

40*

Phoenix Suns -5

Sacramento is getting some love right now after scoring 130+ on the Nuggets and beating them twice. But let's remember for a second, that's the Nuggets they beat and this is still the Kings. The Kings are known for their letdowns and they are prime for one right here. Whenever a team scores that many points, their offensive output struggles the next game. Phoenix does very well bouncing back at home. They lost to a very good Grizzlies team and I expect a big performance out of them tonight. Another thing going for Phoenix is Isiah Thomas. He can play with a bit of revenge against his former team and let the coaches know tendencies of the Kings. Look for a very solid performance from the Suns tonight. 

20*

Minnesota Timberwolves -3.5

I have been waffling this pick all morning and finally decided to pull the trigger. The T'wolves are the better team here and the Magic return home off a little roadie after knocking off Philadelphia with the buzzer beater. Minnesota has started the season off with a perfect 4-0 ATS record and I believe they keep the streak alive tonight.

50* TNF GAME OF THE MONTH

Cincinnati Bengals -6

The Bengals are a force to be reckoned with at home. They haven't lost in 2 years there and I don't expect that to change tonight. The last time these two teams played in Cincinnati, the Bengals won by 3 touchdowns. Cleveland has been a big surprise in the NFL this year but all of their solid play has come at home. They are dreadful on the road. They are even worse in the first half. The Browns are 2-1 their last 3 games but look who they played. They got CRUSHED by Jacksonville and squeaked out wins against Oakland and Tampa Bay. Those are the 3 worst teams in football. Now they have to play on the road, on a short week, against a rival that is clearly a better opponent. This could get ugly. I expect Cincinnati to do some damage tonight and cruise to the victory in front of the hometown fans. 

20*

Boston Celtics -1.5

This Celtics squad showed a lot of heart almost coming back to beat the Mavs trailing by 31 points and 26 points at the break. They have a lot of young talent and they play with a ton of heart, which is crucial when backing a team in the NBA. The oddsmakers are telling us something here having the Celtics the favorite over a team that is clearly better than them. The fans are coming out now to support these players after having a few rough years in a row. Toronto comes in playing a back to back at home which they blew out the Thunder. This give us even more line value. Celtics come in playing with some momentum and look for them to get the job done in the Garden tonight. 

40* NBA TV GAME OF THE WEEK

Portland Trailblazers +3

I think the Cavaliers are still in a growing process. Yes they beat the Bulls recently, but they got some favorable calls at the end of the game. They were down 5 with 40 seconds left and somehow won in OT. Their coach still needs to learn a lot as well and I feel his decisions are going to cost his team some games this year. I feel a perfect example could happen tonight here in the Moda Center. These fans go crazy for their Blazers and they have one of, if not, the best home field advantages in the game. Portland should give this Cavs team fits. They are lengthy, rebound exceptionally well, and if they are getting their 3 pointers to fall, its gong to be a long day for the Cavaliers. The Trailblazers are also an amazing free throw shooting team which is key when backing and underdog. Look for Portland to get up big time for this game and make a statement to the league. Don't be surprised if the get they outright victory here.  

30* SITUATIONAL SMACKDOWN

Miami Heat -1

Great situation here for Miami as they want to prove they can beat a big name team without Lebron James. Houston comes in playing 4 games against scrub opponents and they have a huge game on deck against instate rival, Champion Spurs. Houston has now played 4 straight road games and Miami has left their home just once to face Philadelphia. I like the Heat here to prove that they are over Lebron and get a big W here tonight.

20*

Milwaukee Bucks +4

Was very close to taking the Milwaukee Bucks on the money line for the outright upset but I think it's much safer here taking the generous points. Indiana has too many injuries right now to compete. Jason Kidd has these young guns from the Bucks believing that they can win a few ball games and I truly think that they have a great chance for the outright victory on the road tonight.

New York Giants +3.5

Brooklyn -6.5

A great situation in the NBA is when a star player goes down and you take that team the first game after the injury. It cashed for us last time OKC played. A follow up for that situation is you fade that team the second game after the injury because they are in a bit of a let down. That is what we have here tonight. Brooklyn needs a big win badly this season as they have started off slow and I believe they get it done here tonight.

30*

Charlotte Hornets +3.5

New York comes off a huge win over the Cavaliers and they are playing on 3 days rest. I believe that this team is going to come out flat and rusty from this situation. I do not like this Knicks team one bit and Carmelo Anthony gets on my nerves and I think he is extremely overrated. Yes he is good player, but not a great player that everyone makes him out to be.

50* VEGAS INSIDER

Jacksonville Jaguars +11

Big time flat spot here for the Bengals off the big win over the Ravens and they have to go through the gauntlet of the NFL teams after this game. The Jags defense is actually legit on defense and I expect them to say inside this number given the big number and terrible situation for the Bengals. 

30*

Minnesota Vikings -1

Washington comes off a HUGE win over Dallas and this a prime let down spot for them. RG3 is now back for the Redskins and I see him struggling in this game. It's going to take him awhile to get back into the groove and for this offense to click. Vikings do just enough to sneak out the victory here at home.

The Hornets are a very improved team this year and the fans are starting to get behind this team. Memphis come's into this game playing the second of a back to back and they had to travel from Indiana overnight. Look for Memphis to play a little flat, especially since they had to spend a lot of energy with their big run they went on last night to beat Indiana, and Charlotte to take care of business at home tonight.

Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5

With the ML on this game being -400, getting -1.5 at -130 is a steal, IMO. The Penguins are a far superior team, they are at home, and they have beaten the Sabres by 2+ goals 3 straight games. This game should be a complete blowout.

They've been the laughing stock of LA and the little brother for so many years that finally it's their turn to dish out some punishment. The Clippers should come out a lot better than last night with the rust coming off this team. I don't expect them to miss as many three's tonight and they should blow out this terrible Lakers team.

50* VEGAS INSIDER

Chicago Bulls -3.5

The Chicago Bulls are favored here for a reason guys. Yes, Cleveland looked horrible last night and it was a big time flat spot for them but this team has some problems. Their coach has no clue what he is doing. A lot of people think coaching doesn't matter in the NBA and you just need stars to have a good team. There were countless occasions where the Cavs needed a time out to stop momentum and run a set play but they would just run the court and take bad shot. Chicago's defense is going to frustrate the Cavaliers all night. The Bulls have the best defense and they play at a very methodical pace. What kills Lebron the most is not letting him get out into transition. The Knicks excelled at it last night and the Bulls should do it even better tonight. It's going to take Cleveland some time to gel folks. Everyone is running to the window to claim them champs already but this is a long season. A ton of people are going to believe that there is no way that the Cavs start the year 0-2. This is the Bulls chance to prove that they are the best team in the East and I believe they make one hell of a statement tonight. 

20*

Memphis Grizzlies -6

Both of these teams focus on playing solid defense and using all of the shot clock on offense. The both play a half court style of basketball which is key for playing an under at a total like this. Indiana has NOTHING right now, with all their players injured, and Memphis is a very good team. I expect Memphis to win convincingly in a low scoring defensive battle.

Los Angeles Clippers -11

Everything sets up perfectly here for the Clippers. They are thirsty for revenge against the Thunder squad who knocked them out of the playoffs last year. Good news for the Clippers is that they get OKC in the second game of a back to back. The Thunder played tough for 3 quarters last night but it was pretty clear the Russell Westbrook can't do it all. Granted he did have a great night but he had Lilliard, who plays absolutely no defense, on him. Dont be surprised if this is a close game in the first half with the rust coming off a little bit from the Clippers but expect this team to come out in the second half in front of a ruckus crowd and just blow the doors off the limping Thunder.

Dallas Mavericks -10.5

This is the Utah Jazz's second game of a back to back and they come into this game off a loss. They were in a great situation to take down the Houston Rockets last night and they got worked. Utah is a young team that has the ability to sneak up on some teams when they play at home. On the road, its a completely different story. Dallas outclasses the Jazz is so many ways. The Mavericks come into this game with a day off and come off a loss to the hated Spurs, which they barely lost. The Jazz have had serious problems shooting in the 4th quarter and history repeated itself again with a miserable performance against the Rockets. I expect it to effect them again and I believe the Mavericks make a statement here to the West and absolutely blow out this young Jazz team tonight.
