NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Buffalo is a solid 12-7-1 on the road, but here it'll face a Stars team that is 8-3 as home favorites of -150 or more. The Sabres are 1-8 in the last 9 meetings in Dallas and 2-7 in the last 9 meetings overall.

8* PLAY ON DALLAS STARS. 

CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

I like South Carolina State to win big when they host  Delaware State Monday night. Both teams have atrocious records straight up, but the Bulldogs are 2-2 SU at home and 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and this is the first time they're coming into a game as a favorite this season. 

8* PLAY ON SOUTH CAROLINA STATE. 

10* LAKERS/BLAZERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to back the Blazers to bounce back from a blowout loss to the Sixers. It's also a good spot to fade the Lakers following their upset win against Memphis. 

Lakers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. Trail Blazers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games.

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Jets are 15-4 as a favorite against a team with a losing record (6-2 on the road). The Flyers are coming off a 2-1 win at Detroit on Saturday, but they've struggled to find the net lately and here they'll face one of the best defensive teams in the league. Winnipeg will also play on no rest, coming off a 5-1 win at Ottawa, but they've been hot since the start of the new year and I expect them to run away with this one. 

8* PLAY ON WINNIPEG JETS. 

10* BENGALS/BILLS NFL PLAY OF THE DAY

Buffalo might be the best team in the AFC, but this is a lot of points to give to a team as talented as the Bengals. Buffalo QB Josh Allen has been inconsistent lately. Sure, he has thrown 12 touchdown passes over the last four games, but also five interceptions in the last three. For the season, the Bills rank 31st in the NFL with 1.8 giveaways per game while Cincy ranks 8th with 1.5 takeaways per game. 

Bengals are 12-3-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Bills are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

EARLY SPARTANS/HOOSIERS TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER

Indiana is 11-6-1 to the over this season while averaging a healthy 79.0 points per game. Michigan State is not putting up nearly as big numbers, but I expect this to be a high-scoring affair with the Hoosiers at home driving up the tempo. Michigan State might have no other choice than to oblige and the Spartans are averaging 69.5 possessions per game on the road compared to 66.8 possesions per game at home. 

Over is 10-3 in Hoosiers last 13 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Over is 17-8-1 in Spartans last 26 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

MAGIC/WIZARDS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a tough spot for the Magic who will be playing on no rest following a win over the Pelicans Friday night. The Magic are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The Wizards are also coming off a dominant win but they are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and they've had a solid two days rest since their 116-105 win in New York Wednesday night.

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON WIZARDS.

10* JAGS/CHIEFS NFL TOTAL OF THE WEEK

The line total has gone up a couple of points since the opener, but I like the under here. Sure, Jacksonville's wild Wild Card win over the Chergers was a shootout, but do you expect Trevor Lawrence to throw four picks and four touchdown passes again? Jacksonville's defense has played a lot better doown the stretch than it did at the beginning of the season and KS's defense is somewhat underrated, with the offense stealing all the headlines. 

Under is 7-3 in Jaguars last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 4-0 in Chiefs last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Kansas City won 27-17 when the two teams clashed back in November. I would not be surprised to see a similar scoreline today. 

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Canucks have lost five of their last six games and eight of their last 10. They are allowing 4.0 goals per game (31st) for the season, and here they'll face a Colorado team that has scored 17 goals through a three-game winning streak.

The Nets will be exhausted after battling the Suns in Phoenix last night.

The Jazz are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and they put a 126-103 beating on the Clippers in their last game. Utah is a team you want to back when it's on a roll; the Jazz are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 16-8 ATS in their last 24 when facing a team that is playing on no rest. 

10* PLAY ON UTAH JAZZ. 

10* DEVILS/KRAKEN NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Devils are an insane 18-3 on the road. Seattle is only 10-11 at home. The Devils are riding a five-game winning streak and they've had two days off since winning at San Jose Monday night. Seattle took a 5-2 loss at Edmonton on Tuesday and they are 2-8 in their last 10 games following a loss of 3 or more goals.

10* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET

For the Nets, Kevin Durant is out until mid February and Kyrie Irving (calf soreness) is listed as probable. The Suns have even bigger injury concerns with seven players on the injury list, among them Chris Paul and Devin Booker. 

The Nets are coming off three straight losses SU and ATS, but they are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Suns are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 6-20 ATS in their last 26 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days.

The Stars shut out Vegas in their last game and they are 35-16 in their last 51 vs. a team with a losing record. Here they'll face a struggling Sharks team that is an NHL-worst 4-12-7 at home this season and 12-41 in their last 53 vs. a team with a winning record.

The Abilene Christian Wildcats are only 4-10 ATS on the season and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Utah Valley Wolverines are 11-5 ATS for the season and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. This is an overreaction to the teams ATS records IMO. I expect the Wildcats to keep this close. 

8* PLAY ON Abilene Christian.

10* HAWKS/MAVS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Atlanta is coming heading to Dallas riding a three-game winning streak, but I think they're in for a tough one here against a Mavs team that is looking to bounce back from a pair of losses. 

Hawks are 6-23 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Mavericks are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Mavericks are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days.

SIXERS/CLIPPERS 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to back the Clippers to get a win over Philly.

The Skyhawks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and I don't see how they can keep pace with FDU in this one.

Two hot teams will clash in Seattle on MLK Day with Seattle coming into the game on an eight-game winning streak and the Lightning 7-2 in their last nine.

RAVENS/BENGALS BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL

Cincinnati is a big favorite as the Ravens are expected to start backup quarterback Tyler Huntley instead of the injured Lamar Jackson. Still, the Ravens have shown that they can win games with their defense, and this is an interesting spot as these two teams met in the regular season finale. Huntley missed that game due to shoulder and wrist injuries, but I expect him to take the field. 

Under is 6-1 in Ravens last 7 vs. AFC North. Under is 12-3-1 in Bengals last 16 vs. AFC.

The familiarity between the two divisional opponents favors the underdog IMO, and the road team is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

10* THUNDER/NETS NBA BEST BET

Since the start of last season, the Nets are 15-35 ATS as home favorites. They put up only 98 points in a loss to Boston in their last game. That was their first game without Kevin Durant for at least two weeks, and I think they're in for another tough game here against an OKC team that is 40-18 ATS as road underdogs since the start of last season. In their last game, the Thunder won 124-110 at Chicago and they are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

GIANTS/VIKES NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

Minnesota finished the season 13-4 SU but only 7-9-1 ATS. The Giants finished the season 9-7-1 SU but 13-4 ATS. The Vikes won heaps of one-score games and they must run out of luck sooner or later.

Giants are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. Vikings are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 14 points. Vikings are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC.

DEVILS/KINGS NHL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Devils have an insane road record at 15-3. Is it sustainable? Of course not, but I think their success continues here against a Kings team that is doing well against conference opponents but is only 8-10 against teams from the East. The Devils are 11-3 in their last 14 vs. Western Conference, and I don't think yesterday's matchup at Anaheim will have too much of a negative impact. They're 3-2 in back-to-back spots on the season, and there will be minimal travel impact. 

8* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

MAVS/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER - 10:10 PM ET

The Mavs have dominated the Blazers in recent seasons. They've won six straight games and by an average of 25 points. The Mavericks are 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings in Portland.

8* PLAY ON DALLAS MAVERICKS.

OILERS/KNIGHTS NHL MONEYLINE

This looks like a good spot to fade Edmonton following its matchup against the Sharks Friday night. The Oilers will face a Vegas team that is trending in the right direction with wins in seven of 10 games and 5-1 in its last 6 home games. Also, a revenge spot for the Knights after losing the first meeting in overtime in Edmonton back in November. 

8* PLAY ON VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS. 

10* CHARGERS/JAGUARS NFL WILD CARD ROUND BEST BET

I really like the Chargers here in Jacksonville Saturday night. The Jags have struggled against the pass all season long (28th) and here they'll face a Chargers team that averages 269.6 passing yards per game (3rd). The Chargers had won four on the bounce before losing at Denver in the regular season finale, after knowing they had already secured a wild-card spot. Jacksonville surged down the stretch as well after opening the season 2-6, but I have the Chargers as the much better team. 

Chargers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games. Chargers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

10* PLAY ON LA CHARGERS. 

PENS/HURRICANES NHL MONEYLINE

The Hurricanes are 12-6 at home, the Pens are 10-11 on the road and they'll be playing on no rest after losing at home to Winnipeg Friday night. The Penguins are 2-7 in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest and 0-5 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. The Hurricanes are 8-1 in their last 9 vs. a team with a winning record and 6-1 in their last 7 meetings with Pittsburgh. 

8* PLAY ON CAROLINA HURRICANES. 

ACC GAME OF THE YEAR - 10* CBB MAJOR WAGER

This should be a riveting matchup between two of the best teams in the ACC when the 13-4 NC State Wolfpack host the 14-2 Miami-Florida Hurricanes. I like the Canes as a short road dog.

NC State is coming off back-to-back upset wins agaisnt Duke and at Virginia Tech, but they are still only 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 games following an ATS win and just 6-23 ATS in their last 29 Saturday games. The Hurricanes are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

I see yuuuuuuge value on Miami-FL as an underdog. 

10* PLAY ON MIAMI-FL. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Oilers are 12-8 on the road, the Sharks a miserable 4-17 at home. The Oilers are 20-6 in their last 26 vs. a team with a losing record, the Sharks are 12-39 in their last 51 vs. a team with a winning record. The Oilers are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

8* PLAY ON EDMONTON OILERS. 

SUNS/WOLVES NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to back Minnesota to bounce back from a humbling 135-118 loss in Detroit. They had won and covered the spread in four straight games prior to that setback, and they are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games. Motivation should be on Minnesota's side after dropping the first two meetings of the season, and even though they're missing some key pieces, the Suns' injury situation is even worse. 

8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES. 

THUNDER/BULLS NBA BOOKIE BA$HER

This looks like a good spot to back the Bulls to bounce back as they return back home following losses at Boston and Washington. The Thunder have one of the best ATS records in the league, but this looks like a potential flat spot following their upset in Philly last night. 

DeMar DeRozan is listed as doubtful and Zach LaVine is listed as probable, but I expect the Bulls to come out hot no matter who's on the floor for them and this is a revenge game for Chicago after dropping the first meeting of the season. 

8* PLAY ON CHICAGO BULLS. 

CAVS/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BOMBER

I like the Cavs to get the win and cover in Portland Thursday night. The Cavs will be looking to bounce back from a 116-114 loss as a short favorite at Utah. The Cavs hope to have veteran point guard Ricky Rubio on the court for the first time this season and they'll want to get him started with a W. Portland is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. 

MAVS/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Lakers saw their five-game winning streak come to an end with a 122-109 loss at Denver on Monday. The Mavs are coming off a 113-101 loss at LA Clippers, but they are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points while the Lakers are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Mavericks are 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

8* PLAY ON DALLAS MAVERICKS. 

HORNETS/RAPTORS NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

This looks like a terrific spot to fade the Raptors after them making a season-best 20 3-pointers in their 132-120 win against Charlotte on Tuesday. Raptors are 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Hornets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

8* PLAY ON CHARLOTTE HORNETS. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a good spot to back the Jets following a 7-5 loss at Detroit Tuesday night. The Jets came into that game on a five-game winning streak and here they'll face a Buffalo team that is in a tough spot, playing its third game in four nights. 

8* PLAY ON WINNIPEG JETS. 

MINNESOTA/OHIO STATE CBB BOOKIE BOMBER

Both Minnesota and Ohio State are coming off back-to-back losses. The difference is that the Gophers covered the spread in their setbacks while the Buckeyes didn't. Without any kind of momentum, I think the Buckeyes will find it difficult to pull away in this one. 

8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA. 

CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Louisville is coming into this game on a five-game losing streak, but no one can accuse the Cardinals of not trying and they've covered the spread in each of their last four games. They'll face a Clemson team that is in a potential flat spot following back-to-back upset wins at Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh. 

8* PLAY ON LOUISVILLE. 

10* BUCKS/HAWKS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a tough spot for the Hawks who will play their first home game of the season as they return home from a four-game trek through the west coast. They closed out the trip with a 112-108 win at LA Clippers on Sunday but the Hawks are 8-24 ATS in their last 32 games following an ATS win and 16-36 ATS in their last 52 games following a straight up win.

The Bucks showed great character when they came from behind to beat the Knicks in their last game, and this game will mean a lot to them after losing the first two meetings of the season to Atlanta. 

10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Flyers are 5-1 in their last six games but I think this is a good spot to fade them following their upset win at Buffalo Monday night. On the season, the Flyers are 6-15 against teams with a winning record.

The Capitals are 7-0 in their last 7 road games and 7-2 in their last 9 vs. a team with a losing record. They've also had an extra day of rest since their 1-0 win against Columbus on Sunday. The Capitals are 10-4 in their last 14 games playing on 2 days rest.

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON CAPITALS. 

LATE-NIGHT WYOMING/UTAH STATE BOOKIE BREAKER - 10:30 PM

Wyoming is coming into this game 5-10 on the season and off five straight losses, but their last three games have been decided by 5, 1, and 5 points and they are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Utah State took an 82-59 beating on the road at Boise State in their last game. The Aggies are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points and I'm not as keen to bet on college kids to bounce back from bad losses as I am with the pros. Additionally, Wyoming is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 

8* PLAY ON WYOMING COWBOYS. 

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* ATS MAX BET

The Sixers have won three of their last four and defeated the Pistons 123-11 in Detroit just a couple of days ago. Now they'll host Detroit at Wells Fargo Center where the Sixers are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games and they are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Pistons are 1-8 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Philadelphia.

The Jets are 21-6 in their last 27 vs. a team with a losing record and 5-2 in the last 7 meetings with Detroit.

10* TCU/GEORGIA NATTY CHAMPIONSHIP MAX BET

TCU has had a magical season, but the Cinderella story ends here.

While they managed to beat Michigan in the semi-finals, they gave up 45 points in the process and I don't see how they can keep up with this Georgia team that is superior at just about everything, and also has experience on its side.

Sure, Georgia gave up 41 points to Ohio State, but that was a one-off game for a defense that is one of the best in the nation. Georgia will score 40+, and I doubt TCU will get more than 20. This will no doubt be a lopsided affair. Bulldogs by 20+. 

10* PLAY ON GEORGIA BULLDOGS. 

10* BUCKS/KNICKS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

With the Knicks riding a four-game winning streak and the Bucks trading wins and losses over their last six games, recency bias might have you believe that these are two evenly matched teams but that is not the case IMO. Even without injured Middleton, the Bucks are the superior side and I expect a strong effort from them here after giving up 138 points in a home loss to Charlotte Friday night. The Bucks won 119-108 at home on Oct 28 and 109-103 here in NY on Nov 30.

The Lions are 10-6 to the over on the season and over is 13-6 in Lions last 19 games following a straight up win of more than 14 points. The Packers are coming off a 41-17 win over Minnesota, and their offense has been heating up at exactly the right time. Over is 10-1 in Packers last 11 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. Over is 14-3 in Packers last 17 games in January.

10* CAVS/SUNS NBA TOP PLAY

This looks like a good spot to fade the reeling Suns who are coming off five straight losses. They're not the same team without injured  All-Star Devin Booker, and injuries to Cam Johnson and Cameron Payne is not making it any easier. The Cavs will be looking to bounce back from a 121-108 loss at Denver. Cavaliers are 5-1-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. 

10* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH - RAMS/SEAHAWKS MAX BET

The Rams are banged up but still battling. They have lost eight of their last 10 games straight up, but they are 4-2 ATS in their last six and I think we'll get an honest effort from them here against a Seattle team that needs a win to maintain their hopes earning a wild-card spot. Seattle is not fully healthy either, and its top three running backs all missed practice time this week. 

Seahawks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Seahawks are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win.

10* PLAY ON LA RAMS. 

GIANTS/EAGLES NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Eagles will try to lock up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The Giants are locked into the No. 6 NFC seed and likely to rest players. Still, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has a lingering injury to his throwing shoulder and was listed as limited participant on Thursday's injury report and backup QB Gardner Minshew has not impressed in his two starts. The Eagles will almost certainly win straight up, but this is a lot of points to cover. 

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK GIANTS. 

COWBOYS/COMMANDERS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

Dallas has a shot at earning the NFC's top seed and Washington will give rookie quarterback Sam Howell the start under center, but I still think the Commanders can keep this close. The Cowboys do not have a lot of video of Howell which should be to his advantage and Cowboys are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games in January.

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

BROWNS/STEELERS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

While on paper, this game means nothing for the Browns, do not underestimate their motivation to play spoiler for their divisional rivals who need to win to get into the playoffs. The Browns have been lethal on the ground all season, and QB Deshaun Watson threw three touchdown passes in a win against Washington last week. Here he'll face a Steelers defense that is giving up 7.0 yards per pass attempt. 

Shop around for a +3 if you can, but I would not be surprised if Cleveland wins this one outright. 

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND BROWNS. 

IOWA/RUTGERS CBB BOOKIE BREAKER - 12:00 PM ET

This looks like a good spot to fade Rutgers who is at risk at coming out flat following five straight wins SU and ATS, including an impressive underdog win at Purdue. Iowa is coming into this game off a win over Indiana which ended a three-game slide. Hawkeyes are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 Sunday games. Scarlet Knights are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 Sunday games. Underdog is 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

8* PLAY ON IOWA. 

NHL GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* MAX BET ALERT

Both teams are hot with the Wild 9-2 in their last 11 games and Buffalo 7-1 in its last eight, but I like the Wild in this spot. Wild are 14-6 in their last 20 games playing on 2 days rest and 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Sabres are 7-15 in their last 22 games playing on 3 or more days rest and 26-60 in their last 86 vs. a team with a winning record.

10* PLAY ON MINNESOTA WILD. 

GRAND CANYON/STEPHEN F AUSTIN CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER

Spot bet on Grand Canyon as this line has moved way too much off the opener. Lumberjacks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games. Antelopes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games.

8* PLAY ON GRAND CANYON. 

LATE NIGHT HAWKS/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Lakers defeated Miami 112-109 here in LA a couple of nights ago, despite giving LeBron James the night off. Lebron is likely to be back in the lineup tonight, but the Lakers are 21-43-1 ATS in their last 65 games following a straight up win and I think they're in for a tough game here against a Hawks team looking to go on a run after ending a four-game slide with a win at Sacramento Wednesday. 

8* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. 

LATE NIGH HEAT/SUNS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Suns have scored only 102, 104, 83 and 88 points over their last four games, all losses. They're really struggling without injured Devin Booker who has missed the last five games for the Suns. Heat are 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Phoenix.

8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. 

10* KNICKS/RAPTORS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Knicks have held their last three opponents to 88, 83 and 114 points. The Raptors have struggled on the offensive end all season long and they put up only 101 points in an OT loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday. 

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a great spot to fade Nashville who is coming off an upset win at Carolina last night. Preds goalie Juuse Saros had the game of a lifetime as he made 64 saves, but he figures to be rested tonight. The Caps will also play on no rest after winning 6-2 as a big favorite in Columbus last night. They are 12-3 in their last 15 overall. Predators are 2-7 in their last 9 vs. a team with a winning record.

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON CAPITALS. 

BRUINS/KINGS NHL MONEYLINE

The Kings are 12-8 at home, but the Bruins are 10-5 on the road. Boston is coming off a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh on Jan 2 and the Bruins are 7-0 in their last 7 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. Bruins are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Los Angeles.

8* PLAY ON BOSTON BRUINS. 

AVS/CANUCKS NHL MONEYLINE

The Avs should be hungry for a win following losses to Arizona, LA, Toronto and Vegas. They're too good of a team to lose five in a row despite dealing with some injuries and the Avalanche are 14-2 in their last 16 games playing on 2 days rest.

8* PLAY ON COLORADO AVALANCHE. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

I expect an honest effort from the Celtics here following back-to-back losses at Denver and Oklahoma City. They took a 150-117 beating by the Thunder Tuesday night and the Celtics are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game and 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Mavs are on a seven-game winning streak but only 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and the Celtics are 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings in Dallas.

10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. 

COYOTES/FLYERS NHL MONEYLINE

The Coyotes are only 6-18 on the road for the season and here they'll face a Flyers team that is heating up, coming off three straight wins on the west coast. They've had two days rest since wrapping up the road swing while Arizona has had only one day off since taking a 5-3 loss in Florida on Tuesday. 

8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA FLYERS. 

LATE NIGHT HEAT/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Lakers are 3-1 in their last four games, but this looks like a tough spot for them as they return home from a five-game road trip. They won 121-115 as a short underdog at Charlotte last time out, but the Lakers are only 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. The Heat are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings and they won 112-98 when they hosted Lakers on Dec 28. 

8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. 

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAX BET ALERT

The Nets are the hottest team in the league and 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings with the Bulls in Chicago. The Bulls are coming off back-to-back setbacks and their OT loss at Cleveland a couple of days ago must have hurt. Bulls are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

10* PLAY ON BROOKLYN NETS

ROCKETS/PELICANS UNDER

Houston is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NBA, but they've clamped down defensively in recent games holding the Knicks to 108 points and Dallas to 111 points. Under is 20-6 in Rockets last 26 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and the Pels have scored just 101 and 111 points in their last two games. 

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

PACERS/SIXERS TOTAL

The Pacers have scored 122 points or more in four straight games, but here they'll run into one of the best defensive teams in the league. The Sixers are holding opponents to 108.3 ppg and under is 8-2 in 76ers last 10 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Devils are an insane 13-3 on the road this season. The losses came at Carolina, NY Rangers and Philadelphia, all much better teams than the Red Wings who while coming off a 4-2 win over Ottawa are only 11-23 in their last 34 games following a win. Devils are 14-3 in their last 17 vs. a team with a losing record.

8* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

ISLANDERS/CANUCKS NHL BOOKIE BU$TER - 10:10 PM ET

This looks like a good spot to back the Islanders to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to Seattle on New Year's Day. They came into that game on a three-game winning streak and they are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. The favorite is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings.

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK ISLANDERS. 

WIZARDS/BUCKS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Wizards are on a roll. They're coming into this game on a five-game winning streak and they scored 116 points or more in each of those games. They won 118-95 here at Milwaukee on New Year's Day and I expect the Bucks to show much more on the offensive end in this one. 

Over is 8-2 in Bucks last 10 home games. Over is 46-19-1 in Wizards last 66 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

8* PLAY ON OVER. 

FLAMES/JETS NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Both the Flames and the Jets will be playing on two days rest after winning their games on New Year's Eve. The Jets were rather lucky to get the W though as they were outshot 32-17 by the Oilers, and I don't think they'll be quite as lucky here against a Flames team that fires almost 35 shots per game. 

Flames are 22-8 in their last 30 games playing on 2 days rest.

8* PLAY ON CALGARY FLAMES. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Hurricanes are a solid 13-8 on the road while the Rangers are only 8-11 home at Madison Square Garden. The Hurricanes are 15-1 in their last 16 overall and 13-3 in their last 16 vs. Eastern Conference. This is not a team you want to step in front of right now. 

10* PLAY ON CAROLINA HURRICANES. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Cavs won by only one point when they faced the Bulls in Chicago on New Year's Eve. We can however note that they are 15-4 SU on the season and 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 home games. The Bulls are one of the worst teams in the league at defending the 3-point shot and Cleveland is shooting the ball well at home.

10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Bruins are perfect 7-0 SU off a loss and the under is 7-0 in those games. They are also an absolutely insane 18-3 at home on the season and here they'll face a Pittsburgh that is coming into this game on a four-game losing streak. 

Home team is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings. Penguins are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Boston. Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

8* PLAY ON BOSTON BRUINS. 

NHL TOTAL MONEYMAKER

The Bruins are perfect 7-0 SU off a loss and the under is 7-0 in those games. They are also an absolutely insane 18-3 at home on the season and here they'll face a Pittsburgh that is coming into this game on a four-game losing streak. 

Home team is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings. Penguins are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Boston. Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

10* CELTICS/NUGGETS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Two of the hottest teams in the league will clash at Ball Arena on New Year's Day. While the Nuggets might be the hottest of the two, the Celtics it without a doubt in my mind the better of the two teams. 

Celtics are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Celtics are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Celtics are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* BIG BET ALERT

Deshaun Watson's return from suspension has not had nearly the positive impact that the Browns would've hoped for. They've been held to 10, 13, and 10 points over their last three games and here they'll face a Washington team that ranks fourth in the NFL for total defense.

Washington gave up 37 points at the Niners last week, but they were only marginally outgained.

The Browns are eliminated from the playoffs while the Commanders must win to keep their playoff hopes alive. I don't care whether Taylor Heinicke or Carson Wentz quarterbacks the Commanders, their defense, and their running game should get them the win and cover. 

10* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

BEARS/LIONS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Lions have made an impressive turnaround while the Bears are 0-8 SU and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games, but I like the underdog here in this matchup. The Bears would like nothing more than to play spoiler for their divisional rivals and the underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The Bears can run the ball and Detroit's defense ranks 28th against the run.

8* PLAY ON CHICAGO BEARS. 

COLTS/GIANTS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Colts will be playing on a short week after taking a 20-3 loss to the Chargers Monday night. The Giants are coming off a loss at Minnesota, but they are 4-1 ATS in their last five and 7-3 ATS in their last 10. Giants are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and 20-9-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. The Giants are still in a position to make the playoffs and I expect them to win and get the cover at home on New Year’s Day.

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK GIANTS. 

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAX BET ALERT

The Blues are only 7-7-2 at home while the Wild are 9-6-1 on the road. Wild are 9-3 in their last 12 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals and we get to fade the Blues off a home win over Chicago. The Blues were a massive favorite in that game, but they are 1-6 as home underdogs. The Wild are 8-4 as road favorites.

10* PLAY ON MINNESOTA WILD. 

SIXERS/PELS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Pels following their hard-fought win against Minnesota on Wednesday. They've now won four in a row while the Sixers will be looking to bounce back from a loss at Washington. 

76ers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 76ers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss. 76ers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. 

10* WOLVES/BUCKS BOOKIE BREAKER

Both the Wolves and the Bucks are coming into this game on four-game losing streaks. I expect Bucks guard Jrue Holiday to be back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's loss to the Bulls because of a non-COVID illnes. The Bucks have been cold from behind the arc lately, but here they'll face a Minnesota team that ranks 26th in the league at defending the three. 

Bucks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Timberwolves are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Ducks snapped a three-game losing streak with an SO win against Vegas on Wednesday. They'll not be as desperate for a win as the Preds who are coming into this game on a two-game slide and 2-8 in their last 10 games. Predators are 45-21 in their last 66 vs. a team with a losing record. Ducks are 10-41 in their last 51 vs. Western Conference. Predators are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

8* PLAY ON NASHVILLE PREDATORS. 

THURSDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Red Wings who will be playing on no rest after battling the Penguins in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The Sabres are on a four-game winning streak following their 3-2 win at Vegas on December 19. On the season, the Sabres are perfect 3-0 as favorites against an opponent playing on 0 days rest. Sabres are 6-0 in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing record.

8* PLAY ON BUFFALO SABRES. 

OKLAHOMA/FSU CHEEZ-IT BOWL BOOKIE BU$TER

Oklahoma closed out the season 1-3 SU and ATS. FSU closed out the season 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS.

FSU is returning most of its players from the regular season while Oklahoma has been hit hard by opt-outs. 

Sooners are 1-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Seminoles are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 Bowl games.

8* PLAY ON FSU SEMINOLES. 

BUCKS/BULLS NBA 3-PACK

This looks like an excellent spot to back the Bucks to bounce back from losses at Cleveland, Brooklyn and Boston. The Bulls are a more manageable opponent and the Bucks are 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings in Chicago.

8* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. 

NETS/HAWKS NBA 3-PACK

The Nets are coming into this game riding a nine-game winning streak, and I like them to stay hot against an Atlanta team that will be playing on no rest following a loss at Indiana Tuesday night. Trae Young exited early with a calf contusion and the Hawks are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 0 days rest.

I also like the under as the under is 12-4 in Hawks last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 11-4 in Nets last 15 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* PLAY ON BROOKLYN NETS. 

NETS/HAWKS NBA 3-PACK

The Nets are coming into this game riding a nine-game winning streak, and I like them to stay hot against an Atlanta team that will be playing on no rest following a loss at Indiana Tuesday night. Trae Young exited early with a calf contusion and the Hawks are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 0 days rest.

I also like the under as the under is 12-4 in Hawks last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 11-4 in Nets last 15 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

UCF/DUKE MILITARY BOWL BOOKIE BREAKER

I think Duke has a solid edge over Central Florida in the Military Bowl on Wednesday.

UCF finished the season on an 0-3 run ATS while Duke finished strong with four wins in its last five games and going 5-1 ATS over its last six. The Knights have the nation's seventh-best rushing offense, but it'll be strength on strength with Duke allowing only 120 rushing yards per game (24th). 

Duke has not reported any opt-outs while UCF has been hit rather hard, both on the field and by the defensive coordinator leaving the team. 

Blue Devils are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games on fieldturf. Knights are 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 games on fieldturf.

8* PLAY ON DUKE. 

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* NUGGETS/KINGS BEST BET

The Nuggets are 7-1 in their last seven games, but I think this looks like a good spot to fade them following their OT win against Phoenix on Christmas Day. The Kings on the other hand will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing outing in a loss to Washington, even with star Domantas Sabonis questionable with a right hand injury. 

Nuggets are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Kings are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Nuggets are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

10* PLAY ON SACRAMENTO KINGS. 

OILERS/FLAMES NHL MONEYLINE

The Oilers have dropped four of their last five games while the Flames entered the break hot as they returned home from a successful 3-1 road trip. The Oilers won 3-2 here in Scotiabank Saddledome on October 29, but the home team is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings. After the break, I think the home advantage will be even more significant than usual and this looks like a good revenge spot for the Flames. 

8* PLAY ON CALGARY FLAMES. 

10* NHL MONEYLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Pens have been hot lately, but here they'll be looking to get back on track following an OT loss to Carolina. They've had the whole Christmas break to regroup and I expect a strong effort here against an Islanders team that is 0-4 in its last 4 games following a win.

10* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH PENGUINS. 

SUPER EARLY CAMELIA BOWL BOOKIE BU$TER

Georgia Southern's defense is far from great, but I think their offense will put up enough points on the board to win and get the cover here in the Camellia Bowl. Eagles QB Kyle Vantrease made 25 starts for Buffalo from 2019-21 and would like nothing more than to beat his former team. He is surrounded by a solid group of wide receivers and leads the nation's fourth-ranked passing attack (327.8 ypg). Buffalo senior RB Ron Cook Jr. didn't play in the regular-season finale and he is doubtful to play here due to an undisclosed injury.

8* PLAY ON GEORGIA SOUTHERN.
