03-26-16	Hawks v. Pistons OVER 203.5		112-95	Win	100	20 h 35 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* The Detroit Pistons have impressed offensively lately averaging 110.4 points during a five-game winning streak. They're off a 112-105 win against Charlotte last night and the over is 4-0 in Detroit's last four games playing on back-to-back nights. We can alsonote that the over is 5-1 in the Pistons last six overall and 10-4 in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 23 of their 36 games home at the Palace this season have gone over the total. The Atlanta Hawks are off a solid defensive performance in a 101-90 win against Milwaukee last night, but the over is 6-1 in the Hawks' last seven games playing on no rest and 4-0 in the last four meetings with Detroit. They won 118-114 on March 16 their last visit to the Palace and this should be another high-scoring encounter between the two Eastern Conference rivals.
03-26-16	England v. Germany UNDER 2.5		3-2	Loss	-113	15 h 45 m	Show
Saturday SOCCER SUPREME Play: Under Rating: 8* England were the only nation to go through the qualification round winning all their games, much thanks to a fantastic defense. They've held a clean sheet in seven of their last eight games and I think we'll see a rather slow-paced friendly game at Germany today. The Germans are always a defensively solid unit and have the world's best goalkeeper in Manuel Neuer.
03-25-16	Wisconsin v. Notre Dame UNDER 131.5		56-61	Win	100	10 h 19 m	Show
NCAAB Total Play: Under Rating: 5* Both the Wisconsin Badgers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have made it here to the Sweet 16 thanks to solid defensive performances. Wisconsin defeated Pittsburgh 47-43 in the first round before upsetting the #2 seed Xavier with a 66-63 win Sunday. Under is 10-1 in the Badgers last 11 overall and 5-1 in their last six neutral site games. Notre Dame is off a 70-63 win against Michigan followed by a 76-75 win against Stephen F. Austin. Under is 7-3 in the Fighting Irish last 10 overall and 15-5-1 in their last 21 NCAA Tournament games. I expect the solid defending from both teams to continue and we should see this contest stay under the total.
03-24-16	Oilers v. Sharks UNDER 5		6-3	Loss	-100	17 h 30 m	Show
NHL Total Play: Under Rating: 8* The San Jose Sharks have played some stellar defense lately, but they're also struggling to score themselves and are off a 1-0 loss against the Blues Tuesday. Under is 4-0-1 in the Sharks last five overall and 5-0 in Sharks last five vs. Western Conference. The Oilers are struggling with their scoring as well and the under is 13-3-1 in their last 17 overall. Martin Jones hasn't given up more than two goals in a month, going 6-4-0 with a 1.61 GAA and .938 SV%. He's 3-1-1 with 1.56 and .925 marks against the Oilers and Edmonton's Cam Talbot has posted a 1.83 GAA and .944 SV% over the past month.
03-24-16	Pelicans v. Pacers UNDER 207.5		84-92	Win	100	9 h 21 m	Show
NBA Total Play: Under Rating: 8* The New Orleans Pelicans have been involved in several high-scoring games this season, but the under is 23-11-1 in their 35 games on the road and with Anthony Davis out for the season they're likely to struggle when on the ball. The Indiana Pacers have seen the total go under in four of their last five overall and 5-2 in their last seven games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. They played solid defense in a 91-75 drubbing of the hapless Philadelphia 76ers in on Monday. The under is 12-5-1 in the last 18 meetings in Indiana and 5-1 in the last six meetings overall.
03-23-16	Mavs v. Blazers OVER 214.5		103-109	Loss	-105	21 h 51 m	Show

03-20-16	Celtics v. 76ers UNDER 215		120-105	Loss	-105	3 h 50 m	Show
NBA Total Play: Under Rating: 5* The Boston Celtics has dropped five of their last six overall and four straight, averaging only 99 points on 40.6 percent shooting during the skid. The Sixers have lost four straight and 17 or their last 18 and this is a team that is averaging only 97.1 points per game this season. Under is 7-3 in the Celtics last 10 overall and 4-1 in their last five vs. Eastern Conference teams. Kelly Olynyk is 3-of-14 from the field in two games since returning from a shoulder injury. Boston needs a win but I don't think it'll go for a high-scoring blowout win with a matchup against Orlando home at TD Garden on deck tomorrow. Philly has given up on the season since long and won't push the tempo.
03-20-16	Blazers v. Mavs OVER 213	Top	120-132	Win	100	15 h 59 m	Show
Top Rated TOTAL AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: Over Rating: 10* The Portland Trail Blazers are off a 117-112 win at New Orleans on Friday but they've lost six of their last nine games while giving up an average of 115 points in that span. The over is 7-1 in Portland's last eight overall and 10-2 in its last 12 games following a straight up win. The Dallas Mavericks got smoked by the Golden State Warriors in a 130-112 loss on Friday and over 10-4 in the Mavs last 14 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 12-5 in their last 17 overall. Dallas took the first meeting this season 115-112 in overtime at Portland on Dec. 1. Over is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings overall and 7-1 in the last eight meetings in Dallas.
03-19-16	Cavs v. Heat UNDER 210	Top	101-122	Loss	-123	18 h 60 m	Show
Top Rated Total Play: Under Rating: 10* I expect to see a low-scoring contest when the Miami Heat entertain the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday. Cleveland is on a roll with eight victories in its last 10 games, the most recent a 109-103 win in Orlando last night. The under is 9-4 in the Cavs last 13 games playing on no days rest and 4-0 in their last four road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Heat are a solid 22-13 SU at home this season and the under is 7-2 in the Heat's last nine home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. We can also note that the under is 22-13 when playing against a team with a winning record this season and 27-20 versus good offensive teams - scoring 99+ points/game. There's no love lost between these to two teams and both sides will play hard on defense.
03-18-16	Wolves v. Rockets OVER 223.5	Top	111-116	Win	100	14 h 17 m	Show
NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK Play: Over Rating: 10* I would be extremely surprised if Friday night's matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets don't go over the total. The Rockets are off a 122-106 loss to the Clippers Wednesday and each of their last four games have seen at least 224 points. The over is 6-0 in their last six games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 5-1 in their last six after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. The Timberwolves won 114-108 at Memphis Wednesday and the over is 9-2 in in their last 11 games following a straight up win and 19-6-1 in their last 26 overall. We can also note that the over is 11-2 in Minnesota's 13 matchups against against Southwest division opponents this season. Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Houston and 7-0 in the last seven meetings. We have a high total today, but I still think this one will fly over as well.
03-18-16	Middlesbrough v. Hull City OVER 2		1-0	Loss	-100	14 h 45 m	Show
Friday Championship Soccer Play: Over Rating: 5* It's not often we get plus money on over 2.0 goals in soccer where two goals would give us a push instead of a loss, and I think we have to take a stab at the over in this contest from the English Championship. Third-placed Middlesbrough have been shut out in back-to-back losses at Charlton and Rotherham, two of the absolute worst teams in the league. They have plenty of offensive firepower though and we can note that five of their last six games have seen two goals or more. Hull City are just one point back of Middlesbrough and fourth in the Championship. They're off a couple of 1-1 draws at home against two sub-par teams in Notthingham and Milton Keynes Dons, and I think the players will come out hungry for goals here. Hull won the reverse fixture 3-0 at home earlier this season, and I think this contest will see at least three goals as well.
03-15-16	Celtics v. Pacers UNDER 207.5		98-103	Win	100	18 h 60 m	Show
NBA TOTAL OF THE DAY Play: Under Rating: 8* I think we'll see a low-scoring encounter when the Eastern Conference foes the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers clash at Bankers Life Fieldhouse Tuesday night. The Celtics have lost two of their last three but controlled Houston's offense pretty well in a 102-98 loss Friday. The under is 5-2 in their last seven overall and 1-3 in road games where where the total is between 205 and 209.5 points this season. The Pacers shot 37.9 percent and hit 5-of-24 from 3-point range in a 104-75 loss at Atlanta Sunday. Under is 16-5 in their last 21 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 5-1 in in their last six vs. Eastern Conference teams. Under is 15-5-1 in the last 21 meetings overall and 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings in Indiana. None of the previous three meetings this season reached 200 points.
03-15-16	PSV Eindhoven v. Atletico Madrid UNDER 2.5		0-0	Win	100	15 h 50 m	Show
Champions League Tuesday Play: Under Rating: 8* The first leg of this tie finished with a 0-0 draw at Eindhoven, and I expect another low-scoring encounter today. Giving up the first goal would be pretty devastating, particularly for Atletico due to the away goal rule, so both teams will be very cautious. These are two of the best defensive teams in the European leagues this season; PSV have allowed 25 goals through 27 games in the Dutch Eredivisie while Atletico Madrid have given up just an incredible 12(!) goals through 29 games in the Spanish Primera Division.
03-13-16	Pacers v. Hawks UNDER 197		75-104	Win	100	10 h 31 m	Show
NBA TOTAL THRASHER Play: Under Rating: 8* Pretty low total here, but these are two teams more than capable of playing lock down defense. The Hawks have won six of their last eight while giving up only 89.8 points per contest. They defeated the Grizzlies 95-83 yesterday as they held their opponent to just 34.7 percent shooting. The Pacers have won four of their last five holding three of the opponents to 100 points or fewer. The under is 5-1 in the Pacers last six road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 4-1 in their last five vs. Eastern Conference. With the teams jostling sixth and seventh in the conference this will surely be a tough defensive battle. The under is 7-2 in the last nine meetings at Philips Arena and the previous three meetings overall this season have seen an average of 193.6 points.
03-11-16	Knicks v. Clippers UNDER 203.5		94-101	Win	100	23 h 41 m	Show
NBA Totals 3-Pack Play: Under Rating: 8* The New York Knicks are coming into this contest as winners of two of their last three. They've allowed just 98.7 points per game in that span which is a huge improvement defensively. They're off a 128-97 win at Phoenix two days ago, and the under is 7-2 in the Knicks last nine games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 6-1 in their last seven vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Los Angeles Clippers lost 120-108 at Oklahoma City Wednesday, but we should see a much better defensive performance tonight. The under is 14-2 in the Clippers last 16 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 15-6 in their last 21 overall. Under is 6-1 in the last seven head-to-head meetings.
03-11-16	Wolves v. Thunder OVER 223		99-96	Loss	-110	20 h 12 m	Show
NBA Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* Both the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder are teams that are putting more focus on their offense than their defense. Minnesota has among the worst defensive efficiency marks in the NBA giving up 107.3 points per 100 possessions while OKC has the second best offensive efficiency at 109.7 points scored per 100 possessions. Over is 7-0 in the Timberwolves last seven games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 16-4-1 in their last 21 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. They lost 116-91 against the Spurs Tuesday. The Thunder are off a revenge game against the Clippers Wednesday, a contest they won 120-108. Over is 9-2 in Thunder last 11 games playing on one days rest and 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings with the Wolves in Oklahoma City.
03-11-16	Nets v. 76ers OVER 211.5		89-95	Loss	-105	19 h 12 m	Show
NBA Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* The Brooklyn Nets are off a pair of road losses at Minnesota and Toronto. The over is 9-2 in the Nets last 11 games following a straight up loss and 5-1 in their last six Friday night games. We can also note that the over is 12-5 versus poor defensive teams allowing 99+ points/game so far in the 2nd half of the season and 15-8 when playing against a team with a losing record on the season. The 76ers have lost 13 straight, giving up 100 points or more in each of the last 12. Over is 5-1 in the 76ers last six overall, 19-7 in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 26-17 for the season against poor defensive teams that are allowing 99+ points/game. None of the last eight meetings in the series have gone over, but that's a trend I expect to be snapped off tonight.
03-10-16	Hawks v. Raptors UNDER 200.5	Top	96-104	Win	100	6 h 47 m	Show
Top Rated NBA Total Play: Under Rating: 10* The Toronto Raptors defeated the Atlanta Hawks 96-86 at Atlanta on Dec. 2, and I think we'll see another low-scoring contest tonight. Atlanta has allowed 86.5 points per game in regulation while winning five of six overall and the under is 5-1 in that span. Under is 23-15 when Atlanta is facing a good offensive teams - scoring 99+ points/game this season. The Raptors have won 13 of their last 14 home games and they're allowing only 97.8 points per game home at Air Canada Centre this season. These two Eastern Conference rivals will play each other hard on defense, and points won't come easy for either team.
03-09-16	Jazz v. Warriors OVER 207	Top	94-115	Win	100	20 h 4 m	Show
Top Rated NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 10* It can be a risky proposition to back the under in games where the Utah Jazz are involved, but I think the total is set too low when they visit the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night. The Jazz are coming off a 91-84 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks yesterday and the over is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 games playing on 0 days rest, 5-2 in their last seven games when their starting five players combine for more than 160 minutes on the previous day and 9-2 in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Warriors are a perfect 27-0 SU at home and they're still playing extremely hard in front of the home fans to make sure to stay undefeated. The over is 4-0 in Warriors last four home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 10-5 as a home favorite of 12.5 or more points on the season.
03-09-16	Paris Saint-Germain v. Chelsea OVER 2.5		2-1	Win	110	16 h 5 m	Show
Wednesday Champions League Play: Over Rating: 8* PSG won the first leg of this tie 2-1 home at Parc des Princes, and I think we'll see Wednesday's matchup at Stamford Bridge go over 2.5 goals as well. For every scoreline with less than three goals, either side will have to push forward to give themselves a chance to advance. Chelsea's defense are not of the same quality as we've gotten used to under Mourinho and PSG have plenty of offensive talent suitable to hit them on the counter. PSG are not a team to sit back, and they know their one-goal lead in the tie is extremely volatile. We should see a wide open high-scoring affair at Stamford Bridge today.
03-08-16	Nets v. Raptors OVER 206.5	Top	99-104	Loss	-105	19 h 48 m	Show
Top Rated NBA TOTAL OF THE MONTH Play: Over Rating: 10* Analysis shortly
03-07-16	Kings v. Pelicans OVER 220		112-115	Win	100	20 h 55 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* Neither the Sacramento Kings or the New Orleans Pelicans are known for their defensive prowess, and I think we'll see a wide open run-and-gun game of basketball at Smoothie King Center Monday night. The Kings have lost five of their last six, giving up an average of 110.8 ppg in that span. The over is 11-5 in their last 16 overall and 9-2 in Kings last 11 games following a straight up loss, which they are coming off a 104-94 loss at San Antonio Saturday. The Pels are off four consecutive losses, the most recent a 106-94 setback against Utah Saturday. The over is 6-2-1 in the Pelicans last nine games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 7-1 in a home game where the total is greater than or equal to 210 this season. Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in New Orleans.
03-07-16	Spurs v. Pacers UNDER 196.5		91-99	Win	100	19 h 55 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Under Rating: 8* The San Antonio Spurs are coming into this game trying for a ninth consecutive win. They've built their winning streak on phenomenal defense holding opponents to an average of 93.6 ppg and an even lower 87.5 ppg through the last six. Under is 6-0 in Spurs last six overall and 4-1 in the last five meetings in Indiana. The Pacers are back home from a 2-2 road trip. They defeated the Wizards 100-99 Saturday and the under is 4-1 in the Pacers last five after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 9-3 in their last 12 vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
03-07-16	Rayo Vallecano v. RCD Espanyol OVER 2.5		1-2	Win	100	14 h 24 m	Show
La Liga ANNIHILATOR Play: Over Rating: 8* Nine of Rayo Vallecano's 10 games in 2016 have gone over 2.5 goals. Each of their last four have finished in a 2-2 draw and much to their credit they're still trying to play fun attractive football despite facing the risk of relegation. Espanyol have conceded a league-high 53 goals this season and eight of their 10 since the turn of the new year have gone over 2.5 goals. Both sides are risking relegation and a draw would not make either team happy. Both have to go for the win and we should see an open high-scoring encounter.
03-06-16	Blazers v. Pistons OVER 206.5	Top	103-123	Win	100	17 h 25 m	Show
Top Rated Total Play: Over Rating: 10* The Detroit Pistons are coming off a pair of lackluster offensive performances and lost 102-89 to the Knicks at New York last night. I think we'll see fireworks tonight though as they host the Portland Trail Blazers. The over is 8-1 in the last nine meetings in the series and the previous meeting this season saw the Pistons win 120-103 at Portland back in November. The Blazers are coming off a pair of high-scoring defeats at Boston and Toronto and the over is 8-3 in their last 11 overall. C.J. McCollum is 9-of-13 from 3-point range in the last three games and his backcourt companion Damian Lillard joined Steph Curry as one of only two players in the league with multiple 50-point performances this season as he went off for 50 in Friday's 117-115 setback at Toronto.
03-06-16	Mavs v. Nuggets OVER 210		114-116	Win	100	15 h 33 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* I have the Dallas Mavericks to win a high-scoring encounter as they host the Denver Nuggets Sunday afternoon. The Mavs are off a 104-101 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday but I expect a better offensive output from them today. The over is 9-1 in the Mavs last 10 overall and they're 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. They're 9-2 ATS in their last 11 Sunday games. The Nuggets are off a 121-120 in overtime to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday and the over is 6-2 in their last eight overall. They're 2-6 ATS in that span and 2-7 ATS in the last nine when hosting the Mavs. Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in the series and 6-2 in the last eight meetings in Denver. The Mavs will have an extremely tough schedule in the upcoming weeks and they can't afford to give up a win against a sub-.500 team and to beat Denver they need to put up plenty of points.
03-06-16	ATHLETIC BILBAO v. SPORTING GIJON OVER 2.5		2-0	Loss	-100	4 h 26 m	Show
Super Early LA LIGA SPECIAL Play: Over Rating: 5* I can't pass up on this opportunity as we get plus-money on the over. Athetlic Bilbao are coming off a pair of blowout wins (3-0, 4-1) so they're definitely in goalscoring mode at the moment. Their top scorer Aritz Aduriz has 17 goals in 26 La Liga games this season and has scored four the past two games. The home team are second to last in the table, much because of poor defending and they've surrendered a total of six goals through back-to-back losses. Athletic Bilbao won the reverse fixture 3-0 back in October, and I think we'll see at least three goals today as well.
03-03-16	Kings v. Mavs OVER 220		104-101	Loss	-110	10 h 20 m	Show
NBA Play: Over Rating: 8* I think the Dallas Mavericks will win a high-scoring contest when they host the Sacramento Kings Thursday night. The Kings are losers of four straight, the most recent a 104-98 setback at Mephis last night as they kicked off a four-game road trip. They're a pathetic 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games overall and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Mavs are playing well right now and coming off a day of rest since they recorded a third consecutive win with a 121-108 victory against Orlando Tuesday. They're a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games playing on one days rest and 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The over is 8-2 in the Kings last 10 overall and 10-1 in the Mavs last 11 and Dallas is coming off three straight wins with at least 120 points scored. Sacramento is averaging 107.5 ppg on the road this season while conceding 111.2 ppg and Dallas is scoring a healthy 105.4 ppg home at American Airlines Center. Over is 14-5 in the last 19 meetings in Dallas.
03-03-16	Real Betis v. RCD Espanyol OVER 2.5		3-0	Win	113	11 h 51 m	Show
Thursday Soccer Play: Over Rating: 8* Both Betis and Espanyol have been involved in high-scoring encounters lately. Espanyol are coming off back-to-back wins and they defeated Sporting Gijon 4-2 their last time out. They had surrendered 13 goals through three consecutive defeats prior to their winning streak and only two of their last 10 league and cup games have gone under 2.5 goals. Real Betis are coming off a 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano and they've scored at least one goal in six straight games. Espanyol won the reverse fixture 3-1 earlier this season and I think we'll see plenty of goals today as well.
03-01-16	Nets v. Lakers UNDER 211.5		101-107	Win	100	21 h 6 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Under Rating: 8* The Brooklyn Nets had recorded back-to-back wins against Utah and Phoenix before losing 105-95 to the Clippers here in LA last night. They gave the Clippers a scare though as they entered the fourth quarter trailing by just five points, and I think they'll bounce back with a win against the lowly Lakers Tuesday night. The Lakers have lost eight straight and they're 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games vs. a team with a losing road record. They'll come into this contest well rested as their last game was a 112-95 loss against the Grizzlies last Friday, but they're just 1-4 ATS in their last five games playing on three or more days rest. The under is 6-1 in the Lakers last seven home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and they might opt to limit the starters minutes with a game at Denver on deck tomorrow. We can also note that the under is 5-1 in their six home games when the total was greater than or equal to 210 this season. Under is 7-3 in the Nets last 10 games playing on no days rest and 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings in this series.
03-01-16	Magic v. Mavs OVER 212.5		108-121	Win	100	19 h 7 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* Each of the Dallas Mavericks last eight games have gone over the total, and that includes a 110-104 OT loss at Orlando on Feb. 19. They've averaged 120.5 points per game while winning three of four since, and they have a red hot forward in Chandler Parsons who has averaged 27 points over the past two games. The Magic ended a two-game slide with a 130-116 win against the 76ers Sunday. The over is 5-1 in the Magic's last six overall and 6-2 in their last eight on the road. We can also note that the over is 9-1 in Orlando's 10 games versus good offensive teams that is scoring 99+ points/game in the 2nd half of the season so far, and Dallas is such a team averaging 102.2 points per game overall (104.9 ppg at home).
02-29-16	Rockets v. Bucks OVER 212.5		121-128	Win	100	20 h 48 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* I'm backing the Houston Rockets to win a high-scoring affair when they open the week by paying the Milwaukee Bucks a visit at BMO Harris Bradley Center Monday night. The Rockets were outclassed in a 104-94 home loss against the Spurs Saturday, but they're 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. Milwaukee has been outscored by 10 points in the first quarter of each of its last two games, both losses, and fell 102-91 at home against the Pistons Saturday. The Bucks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home and 0-4 ATS off an upset loss as a favorite this season. The over is 24-11 in Houston's 35 games as a favorite this season and 19-10 in their 29 road games. Over is 13-6 in the Bucks' last 19 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and I think we'll see way more points tonight than when the Rockets defeated the Bucks 102-98 home in Houston on Jan. 22. James Harden had 30 points and eight assists in that contest and is close to unplayable at the moment averaging 38.3 points through his past three games.
02-28-16	Heat v. Knicks UNDER 198.5	Top	98-81	Win	100	18 h 0 m	Show
Top Rated TOTAL OF THE MONTH Play: Under Rating: 8* This looks like a terrific spot to back the under as the New York Knicks will entertain the Miami Heat as MSG Sunday night. The Heat managed only 19 points in last night's 101-89 setback at Boston. The under is 6-2 in their last eight games following a straight up loss and 19-7 in Heat their last 26 Sunday games. The Knicks posted a 108-95 triumph over Orlando on Friday and the under is 5-1 in their last six games following an ATS win and 6-2 in their last eight home games. Under is 11-1 in the last 12 meetings in this series at MSG, and this should be another low-scoring encounter.
02-28-16	Arsenal v. Manchester United UNDER 2		2-3	Loss	-100	20 h 32 m	Show
Super Sunday Play: Under 2.5 goals Rating: 8* Manchester United were embarrassed at the Emirates back in October in the first meeting of the season. Arsenal steamrolled them from the very first minute and had scored three unanswered goals before the 20th minute and could then play off the game. I expect Louis Van Gaal to have learned his lesson from that game, and I think both teams will set up pretty defensively today. Man U are off back-to-back blowout wins against sub-par opponents in the FA Cup and the Europa League, but they're battling with injuries and are currently missing 14 first-team players through injury, including both their strikers Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial. Arsenal have struggled to score goals lately with just four in their last five games all competitions included. They've allowed only 15 goals in 13 away games in the Premier League this season and will likely be happy to come out of this contest with a 0-0 draw. Note that I recommend a play on UNDER 2.5 goals.
02-27-16	Nets v. Jazz UNDER 196.5		98-96	Win	100	15 h 5 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Nets vs. Jazz Under Rating: 8* We have a pretty low total here when the Utah Jazz will host the Brooklyn Nets Saturday night, but I still think this contest will go under the total. The Jazz were outclassed 96-78 by the Spurs Thursday and the under is 8-0 in their last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. Under is 10-4-2 in their last 16 home games on Saturdays and that's despite an average line of only 192.2 points. The under is 9-2 in the Nets' 11 Saturday games this season and they're a low-scoring team overall.
02-26-16	Oilers v. Ducks UNDER 5		1-2	Win	123	20 h 27 m	Show
NHL Play: Under Rating: 8* The Edmonton Oilers have been limited to one goal in six of their last 10 contests and the under is 6-2-1 in the Oilers last nine vs. Western Conference foes. The Ducks are off a 1-0 win against Buffalo and their netminder Fredrik Andersen has a solid 1.99 GAA home at the Duck Pond this season.
02-23-16	Flyers v. Hurricanes OVER 5		1-3	Loss	-123	7 h 20 m	Show
NHL Play: Over Rating: 8* Match-ups between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Carolina Hurricanes have been low-scoring affairs the last couple of seasons, but the Canes picked up a 4-3 win on Dec. 15 in the most recent meeting and I expect to see plenty of action tonight as well. The over is 5-2-1 in the Flyers last eight road games and 5-2-2 in their last nine playing on two days rest as they're coming off a 5-4 OT win over Toronto Saturday. The Canes suffered a 4-2 home loss to Tampa Bay Sunday, but their power play unit is heating up as they've scored five power-play goals in the last five games.
02-22-16	Manchester United v. Shrewsbury Town UNDER 2.5		3-0	Loss	-100	12 h 27 m	Show
FA CUP Play: Under Rating: 8* Manchester United are in a very tricky spot here as they're on the road at Shrewsbury Town for the fifth-round stage of the FA Cup Monday. United have no less than 14 players on the injury list, including their captain Wayne Rooney, and they have a Europa League game against Midtjylland coming up Thursday where they need to turn around a 2-1 deficit from the first leg. Man U are struggling offensively playing without both pace and purpose as the players seem at a loss of what manager Louis Van Gaal is asking from them. Shrewsbury are still obviously a much weaker side than the Premier League giants, but they'll have a massive home-support and we can note that the Shrews have kept five clean sheets in their last seven FA Cup games. I don't see Shrewsbury scoring, but goals definitely won't come easy for Man United either and I think we're getting a great price on the under.
02-19-16	Pistons v. Wizards UNDER 211	Top	86-98	Win	100	10 h 55 m	Show
NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK Play: Under Rating: 10* We won with the Washington Wizards last night when they defeated the Utah Jazz 103-89. They'll host Detroit tonight before travelling to Miami to take on the Heat tomorrow, and I think we'll see a slow low-scoring contest. The Wizards won 97-95 at Detroit on Nov. 21, and the under is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings overall and 4-1-2 in the last seven meetings in Washington. The Pistons lost three straight and four of five prior to the All Star break as they struggled offensively, and the under is 15-7 in Pistons last 22 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Detroit has played only two games when the total was greater than or equal to 210 this season, and both went under. We can also note that the under is 12-4 in the Wizards last 16 home games.
02-18-16	Spurs v. Clippers OVER 205	Top	86-105	Loss	-110	23 h 41 m	Show
Top Rated NBA Play: Over Rating: 10* The NBA is back from the All Star break and we have a terrific matchup on our hands right away as the San Antonio Spurs will visit the Los Angeles Lakers. The Spurs defeated the Clippers 115-107 home in San Antonio on Dec. 18 as San Antonio made 10 of 19 3-point attempts while Los Angeles connected on 10 of 24. Four of the last five meetings in the series have gone over the total, and with both teams well rested I think it's fair to assume we'll see a high-paced high-scoring encounter at Staples Center tonight.
02-18-16	Rapid Vienna v. Valencia OVER 2.5		0-6	Win	100	15 h 45 m	Show
Europa League Play: Over Rating: 8* Valencia are coming off their first win in 12 games since Gary Neville took over as manager as they defeated Espanyol 2-1 last weekend. They're giving up far too many goals to stay competitive, and they'll face a very offensive side in Rapid Vienna tonight. Only two of Vienna's last 10 games have failed to go over 2.5 goals and they're coming off a spectacular 3-0 road win over arch rivals Austria Vienna. Rapid will not sit back here forcing Valencia to go on the offense at home as well, and I expect a high-scoring encounter.
02-17-16	Wild v. Flames OVER 5		5-3	Win	100	18 h 4 m	Show
NHL Play: Over Rating: 8* This looks like a good spot to back the over as the Calgary Flames will entertain the Minnesota Wild home at the Saddledome. The over is 3-1-1 in the Flames' last five overall and 6-0-1 in Wild's last seven. The Wild have converted on the power play in eight of their last 10 contests and the Flames have allowed three power-play goals in three consecutive games. Both teams have goaltending issues as well and I really don't see this game staying under the total.
02-14-16	Tottenham Hotspur v. Manchester City OVER 2.5		2-1	Win	100	36 h 38 m	Show
Sunday Premier League Play: Over Rating: 8* Recent meetings between Manchester City and Tottenham have been extremely high-scoring affairs, and I expect nothing less when the two teams clash at the Etihad Sunday. Four of the last five meetings have seen five goals or more scored and eight of the last nine have gone over this total. Tottenham are playing great attacking football coming off six consecutive wins scoring 17 goals in the process while Man City will be looking to bounce back from a 3-1 home loss against Leicester last week. Sergio Aguero has scored 10 goals in eight Premier League appearances against Tottenham, and with the amount of offensive talent on display here I just don't see this game staying under the total.
02-11-16	Wizards v. Bucks OVER 211		92-99	Loss	-105	20 h 28 m	Show
NBA 2-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8* The Washington Wizards are among the worst defensive teams in the NBA giving up an average of 105.5 points per game. They won at New York Tuesday as John Wall delivered 28 points and 17 assists while committing one turnover in the 111-108 triumph. He's averaged 27.5 points and 11.8 assists in his last four games. The over is 12-3 in their last 15 road games and 5-0 in Bucks last five home games. Milwaukee snapped a five-game skid with a 112-11 win against Boston Tuesday and Jerryd Bayless is 11-of-15 from 3-point range in the last three games and is averaging 15 points in that span. The over is 11-4-1 in the last 16 meetings overall and 4-1 in the last five meetings in Milwaukee which lead me to believe we'll see this one sail over the total as well.
02-11-16	Sabres v. Flyers OVER 5		1-5	Win	100	19 h 24 m	Show
NHL TOTAL THRASHER Play: Over Rating: 8* The Buffalo Sabres lost 7-4 to the Panthers Tuesday and the over is 3-1-1 in their last five following a loss of three or more goals. The Flyers have been involved in several high-scoring encounters lately and the over is 4-0-5 in their last nine overall. Steve Mason has posted a 2.59 GAA starting each game for the Flyers since former Sabres goalie Michal Neuvirth suffered a lower-body injury, and he gave up four goals on just 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The over is 18-6-2 in the last 26 meetings in Philadelphia and 29-13-1 in the last 43 meetings overall.
