The over is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings between the Toledo Rockets and the Ball St. Cardinals. The last meeting back on January 31 saw a total of 161 points scored and we could easily see just as many tonight. 

The Cardinals are coming off a disappointing 80-55 setback at Western Michigan so they'll be pumped up to score some points here and we can note that the O/U is 6-2 in the Cardinals last eight games as a road underdog. 

The Rockets are coming off a 87-66 win against Central Michigan, but while the under is 5-1 in their last six games overall, note that six of their last seven vs. a team with a winning straight up record have gone over the total. The 18-11 Ball St. is averaging close to 79 ppg on the season, and the Caridnals should be able to score plenty of points here, as well as the home side.

Tonight they'll host a bitter rival in the Boston Celtics who will be looking to bounce back from a 107-97 loss at Toronto on Friday, and we should see a defensive battle.

The last two meetings have been high-scoring affairs, but each of the last four in the series prior to that had gone under the total. I think the number posted for this contest is on the high side, and I'm taking the under.

Both teams played last night, Minnesota fell 116-108 at Detroit while Memphis lost 114-102 at Oklahoma City.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have lost just three games on the season, but they'll be looking to bounce back from a 65-47 loss at MSU on Wednesday. Over is 5-2 in Golden Gophers last seven games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game and 7-2 in their last nine vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The 10-7 Penn State Nittany Lions have played five overs through their last seven games, and they average a healthy 77.6 points per game home at Bryce Jordan Center.

Each of the last three head-to-head meetings between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns have gone under the total, the most recent a 102-95 Phoenix win at Dallas a week ago. The Mavs have averaged just 89.7 points per game through their last three games while Phoenix had played five straight unders before a 120-116 loss to the Cavs their last time out.  

Under is 4-0 in Mavericks last four vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 4-1 in Suns last five vs. a team with a losing straight up record. We can also note that this game is played at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City, so both teams will be shooting against unfamiliar hoops.

Under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings between the Orlando Magic and the LA Clippers, and I think we'll see another game go under the total Wednesday night. Orlando is averaging just 98.9 points per game on the season and they've not scored more than 95 in any of their last three games. The Clippers meanwhile have held three of their last four opponents to 98 points or fewer, and they looked extremely good on D in Sunday's 98-86 win against Miami. Under is 6-1 in Clippers last seven vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 7-3 in Magic's last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The Clemson Tigers handed Urban Meyer his first shutout of his career when they defeated the Buckeyes 31-0 in the semifinals. This is a defense that has held opponents to an average of 306.9 yards and 17.1 points per game throughout the season. The Tigers will take on an Alabama offense that has averaged 39.4 points per game, but the Tide will have a new offensive coordinator in Steve Sarkisian calling the shots and they did not look all that dangerous on offense in their 24-7 win against Washington. They did however impress defensively once again, and Alabama has held opponents to 244.4 yards and 11.4 points per game this season. Defense will rule this game, and I'm going with a BIG BET on the under.

The Miami Dolphins lost their starting QB in Week 14, but the team still managed to score 34 points twice in back-to-back in in victories at New York Jets and Buffalo before suffering a 34-14 defeat to New England in Week 17. Backup QB Matt Moore passed for 674 yards, eight TDs and three interceptions in his three starts, and he'll face a Pittsburgh defense that has conceded plenty of points in recent weeks. It has not mattered though as the Steelers offense has been red hot, averaging 26,4 points through seven consecutive wins. Le’Veon Bell has been terrific since missing the first four games of the season due to a suspension, and he should have plenty of success against a Miami rush defense that surrenders 140.4 yards per game. The Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi torched the Steelers defense for 204 yards in a 30-15 Miami victory in Week 6, and I don't think either team will have any trouble to move the ball in this contest.

The Seattle Seahawks will take on the Detroit Lions at CenturyLink Field for the NFC Wild Card game Saturday night. Neither side have played particularly well in recent weeks, and I think defense will rule this game. The Lions are losers of three straight as QB Matthew Stafford has been hampered by a finger injury and registered just two touchdowns and three interceptions during that stretch. The Seahawks' QB Russell Wilson has played through injuries all season long, and the Seahawks have not been much of a threat on the ground ranked 25h in NFL at 99.4 ypg while Detroit is 30th at 81.9 rushing yards per game.   

Seattle boasts an excellent defense conceding an average of just 18.2 points per game, good for third in the NFL and the under is 8-2 in the Lions last 10 games overall. Expect this game to stay under the total.

The Phoenix Suns play at the second highest tempo in the NBA at 102.9 possessions per game. The over is 14-6 in their 20 road games this season and 18-9 against poor defensive teams - allowing 99+ points/game. Dallas fits the bill allowing an average of 100.7 points per game, and the Mavs have looked decent offensively lately with both Andrew Bogut and Dirk Nowitzki back in the lineup. Phoenix is allowing an atrocious 112.2 points per game (only Brooklyn is worse), and I think we'll see a relatively high-scoring encounter between two of the worst teams in the NBA.

The Sabres are coming off a 4-1 win against the Rangers, but they've scored just a total of 17 goals during a 2-5-2 stretch. The Blackhawks have dropped five of their last six, scoring only a total of 11 goals.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are coming off a 6-4 loss to Winnipeg, but I think we'll see a lower scoring affair when they host the Nashville Predators Thursday night. Lightning coach Jon Cooper was not happy with the defending and told reporters. "We thought about one net only and once you do that, that’s it. Next thing you know it’s 4-1, and that’s a long way to come back." I expect the Lightning to put defense first in this game.  The Preds are coming off a 2-1 OT loss to Montreal, and they've scored just a total of nine goals during a 1-2-2 stretch. Under is 3-0-2 in Predators last five overall. The Lightning have won seven of the last eight games in this series, and I think they'll edge this one.

Here we have two teams playing at high pace (Golden State 2nd in the NBA, Portland 11th), and only two of the past 10 meetings have gone under the total. One of those games that went under was a 135-90 Golden State win here at Oracle Arena on Dec. 17, but the total was set at 234 for that contest and went over the number set for tonight's game. Portland has been without its point guard in Damian Lillard, who sat out the last four games with a sprained ankle and is doubtful for Wednesday, but I think the two teams will combine enough points to push this over the set total.

The Atlanta Hawks will visit the Orlando Magic Wednesday night, and I think the total is set way too low here. The teams squared up at Atlanta on Dec. 13, a game the Magic won 131-120. The Magic are coming off a 115-103 win against the Knicks and have not had much trouble scoring lately, splitting their last four games with each going over the total. The Hawks are playing with great confidence at the moment, winning three straight games, two straight overs, and coming off a 114-112 OT win against the Spurs.

They've scored 18 goals in 12 games home at Ewood Park though, and while I think Newcastle will win this game I don't think Blackburn will leave the pitch without at least one goal.

Where are the points gonna come from in this contest?

Backup Matt Cassel will replace him under center, and he'll face a Houston D that has allowed just 305.7 yards per game and an average of 20.3 ppg. The Texans will go with Tom Savage under center, giving him his second career start. The Texans have the conference's No. 4 seed locked down despite averaging just 17.5 points per game on the season, and they're coming off a 12-10 win against the Bears. Points will come at a premium here, and I expect to see this game go under the total.

The Pacers are losers of four straight games, but they're a solid 11-5 SU at home where they're allowing just 101.4 points per game compared to a 106.0 season average overall.

The high-scoring Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off a 5-2 win at New Jersey last night, but I think we'll see way fewer goals when they host the Carolina Hurricanes here the next day. Note that the under is 5-2 in the Pens last seven games playing on no rest and 9-2-2 in the Hurricanes last 13 when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game.

Carolina is coming off three consecutive wins (Buffalo x 2 and Boston) and has allowed just a total of four goals during that span. Defenseman Justin Faulk has four goals through the last five games but the team announced he is week-to-week with a lower-body injury and will miss this game.

The Hurricanes' netminder Cam Ward has posted a respectable 2.22 GAA in previous meetings with the Penguins. The Pens will have Matt Murray (2.14 GAA on the season) back between the pipes after giving Marc-Andre Fleury the nod last night.

The Arizona Coyotes will entertain the Dallas Stars at Gila River Arena Tuesday night. The Yotes have won seven of the last nine meetings in the desert, and I like the home team in this contest. The Stars are coming off a 3-1-1 homestand, but they've dropped seven of their past eight on the road. They headed into the Christmas break on the back of a 3-2 overtime win against the Kings but are 4-17 in their last 21 games following a win. The Coyotes have dropped four straight games, the three most recent at home. They'll close out a five-game homestand with a matchup against the Rangers on Thursday, so this is their best chance to avoid getting swept. 

We can also note that the Coyotes' netminder Mike Smith is 7-6-5 with two shutouts and a 2.19 GAA against the Stars, and under is 9-2-1 in the last 12 meetings in Arizona. Take Arizona to win a low-scoring contest.

Manchester United are riding a four-game winning streak, and the team has allowed just one single goal during that stretch.

Sunderland are coming off two solid defensive performances, a 1-0 win against Watford their last time out and they held league-leading Chelsea to just one goal in a defeat in their last game prior to that. 

Former Man United manager David Moyes will be determined not to lose here, and he'll no doubt park the bus. The Black Cats' 15 scored goals is the second worst mark in the Premier League this season, and they've scored just a total of four in eight games on the road. Man United have an 11-6 goal differential in eight home games.

This is THE game of the year for the Lakers and they would like nothing more than to end an 11-game skid in the series, so I have no doubt that they'll bring it on the defensive end of the court.

The Houston Texans are battling for a postseason spot sitting top of the AFC South, and they came back from a 12-point deficit for a 21-20 win against Jacksonville last week. They'll face a Cincinnati Bengals team that was officially eliminated from playoff contention with a 24-20 loss to rival Pittsburgh last week. 

Houston QB Tom Savage came off the bench and went 23-of-36 passing for 260 yards but no TD passes in last week's comeback. He'll get the start here over $72 million quarterback Brock Osweiler, but he could certainly have asked for an easier opponent than a Bengals D that is allowing just 20.9 points per game. Houston has averaged just 17.9 points per game with Osweiler calling the signals, and I don't expect more production with Savage under center.

Under is 5-1 in Bengals last six games overall, under is 8-3 in Texans last 11 home games, under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.

Playing on Fridays usually brings out the best of Charlotte's D as well with under going 6-2 in the Hornets last eight Friday night games. 

Under is 11-5-2 in the last 18 meetings overall, and we should see a low-scoring slugfest between two teams playing far from their best basketball at the moment.
