Western Michigan vs. Air Force 5:45 PM ET Game# 207-208 Play On: Over 58.0 (5*)
This is the most balanced Air Force team on offense in recent memory. Yeas they still run the triple option offense, and rely heavily on the run, but they're getting 45.5% of their offensive yards this season via their passing game. The big reason for the improvement is the play of quarterback Kale Pearson who has passed for 1513-yards (14 TDS/3 INTS) and ran for another 758-yards this season.
This Western Michigan team has scored 41-points or more in 6 of 12-games this season. They're led by star frosh running back Jarvion Franklin who has rushed for 1525-yards and scored 24-touchdowns this season. The Broncos offense is plenty capable with their passing game as well, and versus a porous Air Force pass defense that's allowed 260-yards per game in the air, they will certainly have plenty of opportunities to stretch the field.
Air Force enters this bowl game with a stellar 9-3 record, and Western Michigan comes in at 8-4. The Broncos finished the regular season with a disappointing 31-21 loss to Northern Illinois as an 8.5 point home favorite. Any team with a total of 56.5 to 63.0, coming off a conference straight up favorite loss, and has a winning record on the season, versus an opponent with a winning record, has seen 28 of those 37-games (75.7%) go over the total during the past 5-seasons. The average total in those games was 59.4, and the average combined score was 67.1. Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection.

Denver has turned to more of a balanced offensive attack by running the ball quite a bit more than they did a season ago, or earlier in this season for that matter.

The Wizards have allowed just 93.6 points per game at home, and also held their opponents to just 42.2% shooting from the floor in those contests. This will be the Lakers 3rd game in the last 4-days, and tired legs can create poor shooting in the majority of instances.
The Wizards are coming off a 107-86 home win in their previous game over the Miami Heat. The Lakers are coming off a 106-96 road win at Detroit last night. The combination of those two results sets up an extremely profitable NBA totals betting system for tonight's game.

Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 10-times already this season, and Green Bay is dead last in the NFL pertaining to time of possession at 25:25. The Packers run defense has been the worst in the NFL through the first 4-weeks, and the Vikings are the 8th best rushing offense in the league. I look for the Vikings to hang their hat on their running game, control time of possession, and those factors to greatly contribute to a lower scoring type of game.

Contrarily A's catchers have thrown out 20.3% of runners attempting to steal a base this season.
The Royals seem to have the difficult task of having to face Jon Lester in this won or done wild card format. However, several of the current Royals have had success against Lester. There are 5 current Royals who are hitting .300 or better in their careers versus Lester.

These two teams met twice during the regular season and saw the closing totals at 205.0 and 206.5. As you can obviously see the odds-makers have made a major adjustment to this total as compared to what we saw during the 2 regular season meetings. This adjustment has been made all despite the fact that Miami has only gone under the total in 3 of their 15-playoff games in 2014. However, after careful examination you will find the average total score in those 15-games was just 191.2. The Spurs playoff games have averaged 205.2 points per contest, but they've gone under the total in 4 of the last 5, and 6 of their last 8-games. Finally all 3 games played in San Antonio between these two during the 2013 NBA Finals all went over the total. Yet, once again that factor hasn't deterred the books from making a major adjustment to this number.
Any team with a total of 190.0 to 199.5 that scored 110-points or more in each of their previous 2-games, versus an opponent that scored 60-points or more in the 1st half of their previous game, has gone under the total in 24 of 30-games during the past 18 seasons.

Miami @ Indiana 8:35 PM ET Play On: Under 185.0 (10*)
The books adjusted this opening total from 182.0 in the series opener to 184.0 after a high scoring 107-96 win by the Pacers. There were a few contributing factors to why we saw Game 1 sail over the total by more than 20-points. Both teams shot a blistering 51% from the field in the game, and it's highly improbable that either team will match that feat let alone both. The Pacers shot 8-19 (42%) from beyond the 3-point line which is definitely an overachieving number as it applies to their average in that category. Indiana was also able to get to the free throw line 37 times in the contest, and I will go out on a limb to predict they won't come remotely close to that many attempts this evening. Both of these clubs are much better defensively than what they displayed on Sunday, and look for that to be a point of emphasis heading into tonight. Despite going over the total in that previous game, the Pacers have gone under the total in 33 of their 46-games this season when the total is 180.0 to 189.5.
Any playoff favorite of 5.5 or less that's coming off a straight up favorite loss in which they allowed 95-points or more in which the game went over the total, and has a winning percentage of .663 or better on the season, has seen all 12 of those games go under the total since the 1990 playoffs.

The oddsmakers have adjusted this total a bit compared to the last 2-games. The number opened at 212.0 and is down to 210.5 despite the public overwhelmingly wagering on this to be a high scoring affair. You can't blame the public opinion in that regards considering the high scoring nature of the last 2-games. Portland knows they have to clamp down defensively if they're to have any chance of winning a game in this series. The Blazers have also averaged just 97.8 points, and shot a cool 42% from the field over their last 5-games. Both of those numbers are well below their season averages.
