02-13-20 | Wichita State -3 v. UCF | Top | 75-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
NCAAB BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Central Florida Knights are 8-4 SU at home this season but 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. The visiting Wichita State Shockers are 3-3 SU on the road this season but 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Shockers have covered the number in only one of their last eight games overall while winning only three of those eight outright, but I think they should be able to keep a limited UCF offense at bay in this one, particularly after taking an embarrassing 76-43 loss at No. 19 Houston on Sunday. Central Florida on the other hand is in a potential letdown spot following two straight wins (both as favorites). Wichita State won the first meeting of the season 87-79 on Jan 25 and it has won four straight head-to-head matchups with UCF. 10* play on Wichita State Shockers. |

02-12-20 | Wizards v. Knicks OVER 228.5 | Top | 114-96 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MIDWEEK TOTAL The Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA on the defensive end, giving up 120.3 points per game on average. Last night they defeated Chicago 126-114, and I predict another high-scoring affair when they visit the NY Knicks Wednesday night. The Knicks have one of the worst offenses in the league, but even they should be able to put up points against a drained Wizards team that has seen 47 of its last 68 games when playing on no rest go over the total. You never have to worry about Washington putting points on the board (5th in the NBA) and note that the over is 17-5-1 in the Wizards last 23 games as a road underdog and 3-1 in Knicks games with a total of 227 points or higher on the season. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
02-11-20 | Bulls v. Wizards OVER 229.5 | Top | 114-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
BULLS @ WIZARDS NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Chicago Bulls are 7-0 to the over in their last seven games and the total for this matchup with the Washington Wizards look a bit light to me. The Wizards have one of the absolute worst defenses in the league, but they're top 5 for points scored with 115.5 ppg. Last time out they took a 106-99 loss to Memphis but they're still 7-2 to the over in their last nine games. Chicago has allowed an average of 124.6 ppg through a five-game skid so I'm not concerned about the Wizards bouncing back putting points on the board, and even though the Bulls are among the lowest-scoring teams in the league I think they'll get plenty of open looks in this one. The Wizards are 17-9 to the over when the total is greater than or equal to 230 this season. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
02-11-20 | Penn State v. Purdue UNDER 135 | Top | 88-76 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
PENN STATE @ PURDUE TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Purdue Boilermakers own a top 10 scoring defense in the nation and they're also one of the slowest at just 67.8 possessions per game. They've allowed 68 or fewer points in three straight games and they're allowing just 57 points per game home at Mackey Arena on the season. Five of their last six overall have gone over the total, but I think the bookmakers have overadjusted the number for this one. The No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions are one of the hottest teams in the conference, but while they're capable of putting up but numbers, there's no doubt that the Lions can play D as well. Additionally, we can note that they're 4-1 to the under in their last five games. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-10-20 | Baylor -5.5 v. Texas | Top | 52-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S BAYLOR @ TEXAS *TOP PLAY* The No. 1 Baylor Bears put a 59-44 beating on the Longhorns in Waco just over a month ago, and I predict another Baylor win at Frank Erwin Center, Austin, TX Monday night. Baylor is holding opponents to 59.0 ppg on the season and Texas has struggled to score for the better part of the season, and even more so in recent games putting up just 58 and 57 points respectively in its last two contests. The Longhorns have dropped five of their last seven, and while Baylor hasn't been at its best in the last two games (2-0 SU, 0-2 ATS) I expect the Bears to come motivated for this one. Bears are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 9-2 ATS away from home on the season. Longhorns are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. 10* play on Baylor. |
|||||||
02-10-20 | Lightning -105 v. Blue Jackets | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 0 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NHL): MIKE'S TOP RATED MONEYLINE The white-hot Tampa Bay Lightning travel to Ohio riding a six-game winning streak, and I think they'll extend it with a triumph over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus is 12-2-1 since New Year, but it has won only three of its last five while scoring a total of just nine goals during that stretch. Such anemic offense won't cut it against a Tampa Bay side that ranks second in the league for goals scored while boasting the fifth-best power play percentage. The Blue Jackets are one of the better teams in the league on the defensive end, but this is a less than ideal spot as they'll be playing their third game in four nights and I don't see them stopping the Lightning who are 18-2-1 since December 23rd. 10* play on Tampa Bay Lightning. |
|||||||
02-09-20 | Ohio State +1.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 57-70 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
OHIO STATE @ WISCONSIN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Wisconsin riding a three-game winning streak. They've held opponents to 59, 59 and 58 points during that stretch and are 10-1 ATS after allowing 60 points or less on the season. As for the Badgers, they've dropped three of their last four after taking a 70-52 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday, They're 1-5 ATS after scoring 60 points or less this season and they've covered the spread in only one of their last seven games overall. The Buckeyes will be well up for this one after dropping a 61-57 decision to the Badgers in Columbus last month, and I expect them to get revenge today. 10* play on Ohio State. |
|||||||
02-09-20 | AFC Bournemouth v. Sheffield United -130 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 36 h 27 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (SOCCER): MIKE'S TOP RATED EPL BET FOR FEBRUARY Sheffield United are coming off a pair of road victories, and I think they'll carry that momentum into this home game against Bournemouth. The visitors have dropped eight of their last 10 away from home and while they're battling to avoid relegation, note that Sheffield United are in contention for a Europa League/Champions League spot. Five of Sheffield United's seven Premier League losses on the season have come against teams in the top three in the table, and I think they'll have no trouble to take care of business against the Cherries in this one. 10* play on Sheffield United. |
|||||||
02-08-20 | Spurs v. Kings OVER 224.5 | Top | 102-122 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 45 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT SPURS @ KINGS TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The San Antonio Spurs are coming off three straight defeats, and they've allowed 125+ points in each of the last two. The bookmakers expect the Spurs to end the skid as a small favorite at Sacramento Saturday night, and we can note that the Over is 7-3 in Spurs last 10 games as a favorite and 6-1 in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. As for the Kings, they're 8-2 to the over in their last 10 games as an underdog and 10-2 to the over in their last 12 overall. Over is 12-6-1 in Kings' games with a total closing at 223 points or more this season while the Spurs are 16-8 to the over in such games. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
02-08-20 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma UNDER 140 | Top | 59-69 | Win | 100 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
WEST VIRGINIA @ OKLAHOMA BIG 12 BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The West Virginia Mountaineers have a top-20 scoring defense in the nation and have held their last two opponents to an average of 59 points. They're 15-7 to the under on the season and 6-2 to the under in their last eight road games. As for the Oklahoma Sooners, they've struggled to shoot the ball lately (63.2 ppg average last five games). Eight of their last 10 overall and each of their last six games closing as an underdog have gone under the total. I think they'll struggle to get open looks against this solid West Virginia team and that we'll see the final score stay under the posted total with quite some margin. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-07-20 | Raptors v. Pacers OVER 218.5 | Top | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
TOP RATED TGIF NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Both the Indiana Pacers and the Toronto Raptors are very accomplished on the defensive end, but note that they're both 27-23-1 to the over on the season. The Raptors defeated Indiana 119-118 in Toronto just a couple of days ago (total closed at 216) to push their winning streak to 12 games, and I expect this to fly over as well. Over is 7-2 in Raptors last 9 road games. Over is 5-2 in Pacers last 7 home games and 6-1 in their last 7 games as an underdog. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
02-07-20 | Maryland v. Illinois -3 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
MARYLAND @ ILLINOIS BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* There is a lot at stake in this contest as with both teams at 8-3, the winner of this one will take sole command of the Big Ten conference. No. 21 Illinois took a 72-65 loss against 17th-ranked Iowa on Sunday, its first setback in a month. The Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here. The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won five straight following a 56-51 triumph over Rutgers, but it wasn't pretty and the Terps trailed by five at the half. The Terps won the first meeting 59-58 win Dec. 7, but they're 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record and Illinois should be able to put up an even better fight in its own building. 10* play on Illinois. |
|||||||
02-06-20 | Louisiana Tech v. Western Kentucky UNDER 143.5 | Top | 54-65 | Win | 100 | 19 h 51 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER* I expect to see a relatively low-scoring affair when the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Thursday night. Louisiana Tech owns a top-25 scoring defense in the nation on the season, and the total for this contest is inflated after four straight overs through a four-game winning streak. Five of its previous six had gone under though and under is 25-12-1 in the Bulldogs last 38 road games. As for the Hilltoppers, they've alternated over and unders through their last four games, and we can note that they're 11-4 to the under in their last 15 games as a home underdog (WK is a 1.5-point dog at the time of this pick). Louisiana Tech came away with a 62-50 home win against Western Kentucky in the lone meeting last season and while more points is expected for this one, I doubt it'll reach the posted total. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-06-20 | Pelicans v. Bulls OVER 231 | Top | 125-119 | Win | 100 | 20 h 18 m | Show |
PELICANS @ BULLS THURSDAY NIGHT TOTAL *TOP PLAY* While the Chicago Bulls are on the lower end for offensive efficiency, I think they should be able to put up a fair amount of points against a New Orleans Pelicans side that is allowing 117.2 ppg on the season and took a 120-108 loss to Milwaukee last time out. The Pels are 14-5 to the over in their last 19 overall and 7-2 to the over in their last nine games as a favorite. As for the Bulls, they've allowed an average of 131 points through their last two games and each of their last five has gone over the total. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
02-05-20 | Seton Hall -3.5 v. Georgetown | Top | 78-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The No. 13 Seton Hall Pirates are 3-1 SU and ATS as favorites of fewer than five points this season, and I like them to win and cover at Georgetown Wednesday night. We can also note that they'll be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 74-62 home loss as an 8.5-point favorite against Xavier to close out a three-game road trip and that Seton Hall is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 road games following three or more consecutive home games and 7-0 ATS in its last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. As for the Hoyas, they just snapped a three-game SU and ATS skid with a 73-72 upset win at St. John's which sets up a potential let down spot tonight. 10* play on Seton Hall. |
|||||||
02-05-20 | Grizzlies v. Mavs OVER 228.5 | Top | 121-107 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 9 m | Show |
GRIZZLIES @ MAVS NBA TOP RATED TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a 96-82 win over Detroit. I think buckets will come a lot easier for both sides when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night. Memphis is 6-2 to the over through its last eight on the road and the over is 6-1-1 in its last eight vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Additionally, the Grizzlies are 12-7 to the over in games with a total of 225 points or higher while the Mavs are 11-6 to the over in such games. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
02-04-20 | Oilers v. Coyotes -115 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NHL): BEST NHL MONEYLINE FOR FEBRUARY I like the Arizona Coyotes to end a five-game slide and come through with a win when they host the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday night, particularly, as the visitors might feel a bit too good about themselves after winning four of their last five and defeating Calgary 8-3 on the road last time out. The Yotes have had two days off since a disappointing 3-2 shootout loss to Chicago and they're 5-0 in their last five games playing on two days rest. With motivation and urgency favoring the home team, I think this is a no brainer spot to back Arizona. 10* play on Arizona Coyotes. |
|||||||
02-04-20 | Rutgers v. Maryland -7.5 | Top | 51-56 | Loss | -104 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED BIG TEN SIDE *WHITE HOT 11-0 RUN* The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won four on the bounce and seven of their last nine games, including an impressive 82-72 victory against No. 17 Iowa on Thursday. They're 6-2-1 ATS during that nine-game stretch and I think they'll win and cover the line when hosting Rutgers in Big Ten action Tuesday night. The Scarlet Knights took a 69-63 loss to Michigan last time out and while their defense is one of the best in the conference, they'll find it hard to slow down a Maryland team that is humming on all cylinders and has scored 77 points or more in three straight games. The Terps are a perfect 5-0 ATS as a home favorite of fewer than 10 points on the season and I'm counting on them to remain perfect after this contest. 10* play on Maryland Terrapins. |
|||||||
02-03-20 | Mavs v. Pacers -4 | Top | 112-103 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED SIDE FOR FEBRUARY The Indiana Pacers are far from their best at the moment. They've dropped two of their last three games and took a 92-85 home loss to the lowly New York Knicks last time out, but I like them to bounce back to win and cover the number when hosting the Dallas Mavericks Monday night. While the Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight-up loss, the Mavs are 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight-up win, which they are following a 123-100 win over Atlanta on Saturday. Indiana is 7-0 ATS as a home favorite of five points or fewer on the season. 10* play on Indiana Pacers. |
|||||||
02-02-20 | 49ers +1.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 20-31 | Loss | -109 | 320 h 12 m | Show |
SUPER BOWL LIV BEST BET I like the San Francisco 49ers to take down the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. KC has a scary good offense, but let's not forget that San Francisco ranked eighth in the NFL in scoring defense (19.4 ppg) during the regular season, and it gave up just 30 combined points against the Vikings and Packers. Additionally, the Chiefs do not have much of a Plan B (no running game) if the Niners figure out how to stop QB Patrick Mahomes. On the opposite side of the ball, the 49ers have the firepower to match the Chiefs' explosive offense. QB Jimmy G is no Showtime Mahomes, but San Fran's running game averaged the second-most rushing yards per game through the regular season (144.1) and the team averaged 235.5 rypg in their two playoff wins. Note that the Chiefs' run defense is just 25th in the league and they are 2-3 in games where they gave up 150 yards rushing or more this season. 10* play on San Francisco 49ers. |
|||||||
02-02-20 | Bulls v. Raptors -10.5 | Top | 102-129 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED BULLS @ RAPTORS SIDE The Chicago Bulls are 1-4 ATS through their last five games and they travel to Toronto off back-to-back road losses. The Bulls are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog while the Raptors are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games as a home favorite. Toronto is on fire as it will try to push its winning streak to 11 in a row, and I expect a blowout win for the defending-champion Raptors in this one. Chicago does simply not have the firepower to threaten a Toronto team that is elite on the defensive end of the hardwood. 10* play on Toronto Raptors. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Wolves v. Clippers OVER 229.5 | Top | 106-118 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 58 m | Show |
WOLVES @ CLIPPERS TOTA *MATINEE MASSACRE* The over is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings at Staples Center and the posted total for today's matinee matchup looks a little light. Minnesota has been abysmal on the defensive end all season long and it has surrendered 130+ points in two of its last three games. The Clippers have the fifth-best points per game average in the league and should be well up for this contest after taking a 103-124 loss to Sacramento last time out. Over is 7-1-1 in Clippers last 9 games as a home favorite. Over is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 games as a road underdog. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-31-20 | Raptors v. Pistons OVER 222.5 | Top | 105-92 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 31 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Toronto Raptors will be playing on no rest following a 115-109 win at Cleveland on Thursday. We were on the wrong side of the total backing the under in that game, and I expect to see this contest fly over the total as well. The Raptors are now 7-1 to the over in their last eight on the road, and while they're one of the best defensive teams in the league, heavy legs could become an issue in this one. As for the Detroit Pistons, they're 8-1 to the over in their last nine overall and 7-0 to the over in their last seven home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-30-20 | Minnesota v. Illinois -4.5 | Top | 51-59 | Win | 100 | 19 h 58 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAB): MIKE'S REG SEASON SIDE *MAJOR WAGER* The Illinois Fighting Illini are coming off back-to-back underdog wins on the road, and now they return home to State Farm Center where they're 11-1 SU on the season. They've failed to cover the spread in two straight games in their own building, but I think the Illini will get the job done here against a Minnesota team that has lost two of its last three, has failed to cover the number in both losses and averaged only 56.6 ppg through those three games. The Gophers are 2-6-1 ATS in their losses on the season while Illinois is 9-4-1 ATS in its victories. As I expect Illinois to win this game outright, I think it's a fair assumption that they'll cover the spread. 10* play on Illinois. |
|||||||
01-29-20 | Thunder -2.5 v. Kings | Top | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
TOP RATED NBA PLAY OF THE DAY *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Oklahoma City Thunder are playing some great basketball lately and had won and cover the spread in five straight games prior to a 107-97 loss to Dallas last time out. They're 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, and I like their chances of bouncing back at Golden 1 Center Wednesday night. The Sacramento Kings are coming off back-to-back road wins at Chicago and Minnesota, but this is a tough spot as they return home from a five-game road trip. With the Kings 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games following a road trip of seven or more days and 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 home games overall, I really like OKC to come through for us in this one. 10* play on OKC Thunder. |
|||||||
01-29-20 | Indiana v. Penn State -6 | Top | 49-64 | Win | 100 | 18 h 22 m | Show |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NCAAB *MAJOR WAGER* TOP PLAY The No. 23 Penn State Nittany Lions are 10-1 SU at home on the season and 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 home games. Here they'll host an Indiana team that is 1-3 SU and ATS on the road on the season and most likely not in a good mood after taking a home loss to Maryland last time out. The Nittany Lions' offense ranks top 50 in the nation and they are coming off back-to-back underdog wins over Ohio State and Michigan. "I really think we’re starting to play our best basketball heading into February," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers told reporters. "We’re really starting to click and play well." The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five head-to-head meetings and Penn State will be well up for this after losing the last four matchups straight up, including a tough two-point home loss last year. 10* play on Penn State Nittany Lions. |
|||||||
01-28-20 | Butler +1 v. Georgetown | Top | 69-64 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER The No. 17 Butler Bulldogs snapped a three-game skid with an 89-85 OT win over Marquette last time out. I think they'll make it two in a row when visiting the Georgetown Hoyas Tuesday night. The Bulldogs are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win and they'll face a Hoyas side that has lost three of its last four and two on the bounce. Georgetown put up just 57 points in a nine-point loss at Xavier last time out and points won't come easy against this Butler team that has held opponents to 59.4 (8th) ppg on the season. Additionally, we can note that the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings and that Butler has won four straight games at Georgetown. 10* play on Butler Bulldogs. |

01-27-20 | Wisconsin v. Iowa -5.5 | Top | 62-68 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
WISCONSIN @ IOWA BIG 10 BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The No. 19 Iowa Hawkeyes are 11-1 SU at home on the season and they had covered the spread in seven straight home games prior to a push in an 85-80 win over Rutgers last time out. Here they'll host a Wisconsin team that took a 70-51 beating at Purdue Friday night and the Badgers are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. Wisconsin has a top 20 defense in the nation, but I think the team will struggle to slow down an Iowa side that averages 80.2 ppg. 10* play on Iowa Hawkeyes. |

01-27-20 | Magic v. Heat -4.5 | Top | 92-113 | Win | 100 | 16 h 5 m | Show |
MAGIC @ HEAT SUNSHINE STATE RIVALRY *TOP PLAY* The Miami Heat took a 122-117 loss to the Clippers on Friday. That was their mere second loss in 22 home games on the season, and I expect the Heat to bounce back when hosting the Orland Magic in this Sunshine State rivalry game Monday night. While the Heat will be playing on two days rest (they're 6-1 ATS in their last seven games playing on two days rest), the Magic will be playing the second game of a back-to-back situation after losing to Toronto on Sunday. The Magic are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games playing on no rest and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Additionally, note that Miami is 19-0 SU and 12-6-1 ATS as a home favorite on the season. 10* play on Miami Heat. |

01-26-20 | Nets v. Knicks -1 | Top | 97-110 | Win | 100 | 17 h 6 m | Show |
NETS @ KNICKS CROSS-BRIDGES RIVALRY *TOP PLAY* The Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak with an OT win at Detroit last time out, but I think they'll come up short here as they head to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks on Sunday. The Knickerbockers have covered the spread in four straight games and they're 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. Brooklyn, on the other hand, is 0-7 ATS in its last seven as a road underdog and we can note that the Knicks have covered the line in eight of the last 10 matchups with the Nets at MSG. 10* play on NY Knicks. |

01-26-20 | Raptors v. Spurs OVER 223 | Top | 110-106 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
RAPTORS @ SPURS NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Toronto Raptors recorded a 118-112 win at Madison Square Garden on Friday and they're 5-1 to the over through their last six games. Here they'll face a San Antonio team that is 27-17 to the over on the season and 8-2 to the over through its last 10 games following a straight up loss, which the Spurs are after taking a 103-99 loss to Phoenix Friday night. Toronto owns the third-best three-point shooting percentage in the league while San Antonio ranks seventh. I think we can count on a high-scoring contest at AT&T Center on Sunday. 10* play on OVER. |

01-25-20 | Mavs v. Jazz OVER 226 | Top | 107-112 | Loss | -102 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MAVS @ JAZZ TOTAL The Utah Jazz are one of the best defensive teams in the league, but note that the over is 5-1 in their last six games overall and 4-1 in their last five after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Last time out, Utah put a 129-96 beating on Golden State and I predict a high-scoring affair when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. The Mavs have scored 120+ points in four of their last five games and won 133-125 at Portland on Thursday. They have the third-best scoring average in the league and are 27-17 to the over on the season. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL The West Virginia Mountaineers and the Missouri Tigers are both 12-6 to the under on the season, and both teams rank in the top 30 in the nation for points allowed. Additionally, Missouri has struggled to score points through a 1-5 slide and it'll face a West Virginia side that has held four of its last five opponents to fewer than 60 points. Under is 6-0 in Missouri games when the total is 130 to 139.5 points and 3-0 in West Virginia's games fitting the same criteria. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-24-20 | Suns v. Spurs OVER 229 | Top | 103-99 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 46 m | Show |
LATE SUNS @ SPURS TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The San Antonio Spurs are 27-16 to the over on the season and both of their last two games have seen a total of 238 points scored. Here they'll host a Phoenix Suns team that took an 112-87 loss to Indiana last time out, but it had been involved in a couple of high-scoring contests prior to that. Over is 6-2 in the Suns last 8 games as an underdog and 18-6 in Spurs last 24 games as a favorite. 10* play on OVER. |

01-23-20 | Mavs -2 v. Blazers | Top | 133-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MAVS @ BLAZERS *BEST BET* ATS The Portland Trail Blazers have been awful against the spread all season and they're 3-12 ATS through their last 15 games. Here they'll host a Dallas Mavericks team looking to bounce back from a 110-107 loss to the LA Clippers last time out. Note that the Mavs are an outstanding 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 road games and 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss. Additionally, they've covered the spread in six of the last seven head-to-head meetings with the Blazers at Portland. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | Wizards v. Cavs OVER 231.5 | Top | 124-112 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* Two of the worst teams in the league will battle it out at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland Thursday night, but I think they'll entertain the crowd with a high-paced high-scoring contest. The Washington Wizards rank dead last for points allowed with 120.1 ppg, but they're also top five for points scored. They should be particularly poor on defense here, playing on no rest after taking a 134-129 OT loss at Miami last night. As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they're 8-3 to the over in their last 11 overall and 9-4 to the over in their last 13 as a home favorite while the over is 8-2 in the Wizards last 10 games as a road underdog. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Clippers v. Mavs -1.5 | Top | 110-107 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
CLIPPERS @ MAVS NBA NO BRAINER *TOP PLAY* The LA Clippers are coming off a 133-130 win at New Orleans, but they still failed to cover the spread and are 2-5 ATS through their last five overall. Additionally, the Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight-up win and they'll face a Dallas Mavericks team that will be looking to avenge a 114-99 loss to the Clip Show here at American Airlines Center back in November. The Mavs are 8-3 ATS when avenging a home loss against an opponent this season and I don't think they'll make the home town crowd happy this time around. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Oklahoma v. Baylor UNDER 136.5 | Top | 57-61 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
NCAAB MLK DAY TOP PLAY - LATE START The Baylor Bears have the sixth best scoring defense in the nation, allowing just 58.6 ppg. They're coming off a high-scoring 75-68 win at Oklahoma State but had played four straight unders prior to that. Here they'll face an Oklahoma team that also had played four straight unders prior to an 83-63 loss to TCU. Under is 7-3 in Sooners last 10 games as a road underdog and 6-1 in Bears last 7 games as a home favorite. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-19-20 | Packers +7.5 v. 49ers | Top | 20-37 | Loss | -106 | 57 h 56 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SIDE The Green Bay Packers took a 37-8 beating at San Francisco in Week 12, but if anything that was a wake-up call for the team. The Packers are undefeated SU and 4-2 ATS in their six games since, including a solid 28-23 win over Seattle in the Divisional Round. I think this matchup will be a lot closer than the first meeting of the season. While the Niners are a formidable team and a well-deserved favorite, winning by more than a touchdown in the playoffs just ain't easy. The Packers have a veteran QB in Aaron Rodgers who knows this might be his last chance to win another ring, so he'll be ready to do just about anything to win this game. Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 playoff games. 49ers are 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS giving more than a touchdown this season. 10* play on Green Bay Packers. |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Titans v. Chiefs UNDER 53 | Top | 24-35 | Loss | -105 | 54 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NFL): MIKE'S CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP TOTAL *BEST BET* The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a wild 51-31 win over Houston in the divisional round, but I think we'll see a much lower-scoring game when they take on the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game. Tennessee's two playoff games have seen just 33 and 40 points respectively, and we can note that the under is 5-2 in the Chiefs' last seven games. The Titans will rely on running back Derrick Henry to move the ball, and while he's likely to have decent success, it will also drain the clock and keep the ball out of KC QB Patrick Mahomes' hands. While the Chiefs are capable of explosive plays as seen in last week's shootout, note that the Titans have held their last two opponents to 12 and 13 points, despite facing the Pats and the Ravens! 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Magic v. Warriors UNDER 212 | Top | 95-109 | Win | 100 | 24 h 47 m | Show |
MAGIC @ WARRIORS SUNDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* Only three teams in the NBA have a lower pace factor than the Orlando Magic who average only 100.5 possessions per game while the Golden State Warriors are second to last for offensive efficiency. Last time out, Orlando was held to 95 points on 39 percent shooting from the field in a loss at LA Clippers while Golden State has been held to 104 points or fewer in seven of its last eight games, the lone exception a 134-131 OT loss to Denver on Thursday. Under is 9-3 in Magic last 12 games as a road favorite. Under is 5-1 in Warriors last 6 games as an underdog and 9-2 in their last 11 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-17-20 | Lightning v. Jets +121 | Top | 7-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NHL): MIKE'S TOP RATED MONEYLINE The Winnipeg Jets have dropped six of their last seven home at Bell MTS Place, but I absolutely love the price we get on the Jets when they host Tampa Bay Friday night. Note that the Lightning will be playing on no rest (and third game in four nights) after taking a 3-2 loss at Minnesota on Thursday while the Jets have had two full days to recover from a 4-0 triumph over Vancouver. The home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings and the underdog is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on Winnipeg Jets. |

01-17-20 | Wizards v. Raptors OVER 228.5 | Top | 111-140 | Win | 100 | 18 h 19 m | Show |
WIZARDS @ RAPTORS FRIDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Toronto Raptors are coming off a 130-21 win at OKC. The over is 20-7 in their last 27 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and I think they'll be involved in another high-scoring contest when they host the Washington Wizards Friday night. The Wizards are 22-17-1 to the over on the season and 6-2 to the over in their last eight games as a road underdog. They love to push the tempo and Toronto should be confident enough in its scoring ability to not mind a shootout. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Wichita State v. Temple OVER 134.5 | Top | 53-65 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NCAAB TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The No. 16 Wichita State's explosive offense averages 77.6 ppg on the season and the Shockers have poured in points through a nine-game winning streak. Here they'll take on a Temple side that has dropped three straight games and surrendered 70+ points in two of those contests. While Temple is a fairly low-scoring team, Wichita State has weaknesses on the defensive end that can be exploited. Over is 9-1 in Shockers last 10 overall. Over is 6-2 in Shockers' last 8 games as a road favorite. Over is 6-0 in Owls last 6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 16 h 55 m | Show |
SPURS @ HEAT WEDNESDAY NIGHT NBA *TOP PLAY* The Miami Heat are a splendid 17-1 SU home at American Airlines Arena on the season and 14-4-1 ATS in their last 19 home games. They'll be desperate for a win following back-to-back road losses at Brooklyn and New York, and we can note that the Heat are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss and 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite. As for the visiting San Antonio Spurs, while they've won three of their last four with impressive triumphs over Milwaukee, Boston and Toronto, I think this looks like a letdown spot. They defeated the Raptors as a 4.5-point dog last time out but are 6-21 ATS in their last 27 games following a straight up win. 10* play on Miami Heat. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Knicks v. Bucks OVER 225.5 | Top | 102-128 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show |
TUESDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The New York Knicks have been involved in several high-scoring affairs lately. They've surrendered an average of 124.8 points over their last five games and five of their last six have gone over the total. The Milwaukee Bucks have scored 122+ points in back-to-back games and they average a solid 119.2 ppg on the season. I don't see how the Knicks will be able to slow down arguably the best team in the league, and I think the final scoreline for this contest will fly over the total with ease. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Jazz -1 v. Nets | Top | 118-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED NBA SIDE FOR JANUARY The red hot Utah Jazz are winners of nine straight and 14 of their last 15 after opening a three-game road trip with a 127-116 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday. They're 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and I like them to come through here in Brooklyn on Tuesday. The Nets picked up a 108-86 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in Kyrie Irving's return from injury on Sunday, but they're still just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. While Irving no doubt will give Brooklyn a boost, I don't see them keeping pace with the Jazz who are 16-6 ATS in the last 22 meetings, including 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Brooklyn. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |
|||||||
01-13-20 | Clemson v. LSU UNDER 70.5 | Top | 25-42 | Win | 100 | 180 h 35 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAF): MIKE'S CLEMSON VS. LSU TOTAL *BEST BET* The Clemson Tigers top ranked defense limited the powerful Ohio State Buckeyes to 23 points in the Fiesta Bowl. That was the most points they've allowed all season, and I think they'll make life difficult for LSU in the NCAA Championship Game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The Tigers put up 63 points in their win over Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl, but the Sooners defense was extremely underwhelming. LSU QB Joe Burrow shredded Oklahoma with 493 passsing yards and seven(!) touchdown passes while also adding 22 yards and a score on the ground, but with two weeks to prepare you better believe Clemson coach Dabo Swinney will have done his homework on the Heisman trophy winner. As for the Tigers offense, that's not where the team's strength is. Sure, their 45.3 ppg ranks fourth in the nation, but that's against much worse teams than LSU. They can afford to turn this into a shootout, and I think the value is on the under in this matchup. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
01-13-20 | Flames v. Canadiens UNDER 6 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NHL): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL FOR JANUARY The Montreal Canadiens snapped an ugly eight-game losing streak with a 2-1 overtime win at Ottawa on Saturday. Goals have been extremely hard to come by for the Habs lately and here they'll face a Calgary team that has allowed a total of six goals through its last three games. Under is 6-1-1 in Flames last 8 games as a road favorite and 18-6-3 in their last 27 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Under is 6-1 in Canadiens last 7 overall. Under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
01-12-20 | Seahawks v. Packers -4 | Top | 23-28 | Win | 100 | 56 h 23 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SEAHAWKS @ PACKERS SIDE The Seattle Seahawks have been dinged up all season long, and a tough Wild Card matchup against the Eagles did not make the team any healthier. Here they'll face a well-rested Green Bay Packers team, and I expect a blowout win for the home side in this one. Seattle has struggled to stop the run all season, and that doesn't bode well for this matchup. Green Bay's running back Aaron Jones led the entire NFL with his 19 touchdowns (16 rushing TDs) and I think he'll enjoy plenty of success in this one. The Seahawks can't put all focus on stopping Jones though, as that would open up for veteran QB Aaron Rodgers who finished the regular season with a superb 26-to-4 TD/INT ratio. Rodgers is desperate for another Super Bowl ring, with the time running out. "I'm 36, I know what this is all about. This is an important opportunity for us. I feel like I got a lot of really good years left, but you never know. A lot of things happen from year to year. We've had some great teams that have been an injury away or a play away from being special, so I want to make the most of this opportunity." Seattle QB Russell Wilson has bailed out the team with his magic on several occasions this season, but he'll face an extremely hostile environment on Lambeau Field on Sunday. We can also note that the Wilson can't really rely on the ground game to pick up the slack with the team missing its top three running backs and GB was fairly effective stopping the run down the stretch. The Seahawks are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings at Lambeau and the Packers are 7-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. 10* play on Green Bay Packers. |

01-12-20 | Warriors v. Grizzlies OVER 223 | Top | 102-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
WARRIORS @ GRIZZLIES TOP PLAY The Golden State Warriors have dropped seven straight games and they've been held to 100 points or fewer in five of their last four. A date with Memphis could be just what they need to get on track offensively with the Grizzlies allowing 116.4 ppg (27th) on the season. The Grizzlies have been red hot on the offensive end in recent games, averaging 125.7 ppg through their last seven games. Over is 10-1 in Grizzlies last 11 home games and 6-1 in their last 7 overall. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | 76ers v. Mavs OVER 223 | Top | 91-109 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 0 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED NBA TOTAL The Dallas Mavericks took a 129-114 loss at LA Lakers Friday night. Heavy legs won't do them any favors on the defensive end here, and I think this will be another high-scoring contest for the Mavs who are 23-14 to the over on the season. As for the Philadelphia 76ers, they limited the Celtics to 98 points in a triumph last time out, but note that the over is 4-0 in the Sixers' last four trips to Dallas. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Vikings v. 49ers UNDER 44.5 | Top | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 54 h 5 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED DIVISIONAL ROUND TOTAL The San Francisco 49ers defense was dominant at the start of the season but got worn down and faded down the stretch. They will be fresh and healthy following a bye week and I expect to see a low-scoring contest in their divisional-round matchup with Minnesota. The Vikings held Drew Brees and the Saints to 20 points in their wild-card matchup last week and the team ranks 6th in the NFL for points allowed. The Niners defense ranks second in the NFL for points allowed and no team is better at stopping the pass with the team holding opponents to 169.2 passing yards per game. Additionally, Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has a tendency to choke in big games and I don't trust Niners' signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo to have a big game in his first postseason outing. Under is 8-3-1 in Vikings last 12 playoff games. Under is 17-8-1 in Vikings last 26 games as a road underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Ohio State v. Indiana UNDER 135 | Top | 54-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB: MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL FOR JANUARY I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring game when the Ohio State Buckeyes visit the Indiana Hoosiers in college basketball action Saturday afternoon. The Buckeyes are 4-1 to the under through their last five games and 10-5 to the under on the season. They've been held to fewer than 60 points in three straight contests and shot just 31% from the field in a 55-67 loss to Maryland on Tuesday. As for Indiana, it defeated Northwestern 66-62 last time out to make it 4-0 to the under through its last four games. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-11-20 | Arsenal -115 v. Crystal Palace | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 44 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (SOCCER): MIKE'S TOP RATED EPL PLAY SATURDAY I like Arsenal to come through with a win here in their London derby matchup with Crystal Palace. The Gunners have played much better since replacing manager Unai Emery with Mikel Arteta. They'll face a dinged up Palace team that could be without up to eight injured players, among them Sakho, Benteke, Ward, Schlupp, Dann, van Aanholt and Townsend. Additionally, captain Luka Milivojevic starts a three-game suspension after his sending off in the FA Cup. 10* play on Arsenal. |

01-10-20 | Butler v. Providence +2.5 | Top | 70-58 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
BUTLER @ PROVIDENCE BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Providence Friars are on fire with four straight wins and they won outright as a six-point underdog at Marquette on Tuesday. I think they have a great shot at winning this one against a Butler team that routed Creighton last time out, but that contest took place almost a week ago so the team is at risk of coming out sluggish here. Additionally, note that the Friars won all three meetings last season and the home team is is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. 10* play on Providence Friars. |
|||||||
01-10-20 | Spurs v. Grizzlies OVER 231.5 | Top | 121-134 | Win | 100 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
FRIDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* Only three teams in the NBA have a higher pace factor (105.5 possessions per game) than the Memphis Grizzlies. They've averaged 126.7 ppg through a three-game winning streak and here the Grizzlies will host a San Antonio team that ranks in the bottom third for defensive efficiency with 109.5 points allowed per 100 possessions. The Spurs are still in the middle of the pack in the conference due to their success on the offensive end, ranking sixth in the league for points scored and third-best in field goal percentage. Over is 5-1 in Spurs last 6 overall. Over is 8-0 in Grizzlies last 8 home games. Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings at FedexForum. 10* play on OVER. |

01-09-20 | Stars v. Ducks +125 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
STARS @ DUCKS THURSDAY LATE NIGHT NHL *TOP PLAY* This looks like a tough spot for the Dallas Stars who will be playing on no rest after opening their three-stop trip through California with a win at LA last night. The Ducks have had an extra day of rest since taking a 4-3 loss to Columbus on Tuesday and they're a solid 9-4 in their last 13 games as a home underdog. The Stars are on a roll coming off five straight wins, but the price warrants a play on the home team in this one. 10* play on Anaheim Ducks. |
|||||||
01-09-20 | Blazers -120 v. Wolves | Top | 102-116 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Portland Trail Blazers look like solid road favorite at Minnesota Thursday night. They're a perfect 4-0 SU (3-1 ATS) as a road favorite of three points or fewer on the season and they'll be looking to close out a five-game road trip with a win after splitting the first four games. As for the Timberwolves, they took a 119-112 loss at Memphis last time out and they miss All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns who has been out for 11 straight games due to a knee injury. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |
|||||||
01-08-20 | Capitals v. Flyers +123 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 123 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
CAPITALS @ FLYERS *TOP PLAY* The Philadelphia Flyers are a solid 13-2-4 home at Wells Fargo Center. They'll be playing on no rest following an OT loss at Carolina last night to make it four straight defeats, but I like the price we get on Philly in this matchup. The visiting Washington Capitals will also play on on rest after putting a 6-1 beating on Ottawa on Tuesday and this will be their third game in four nights. The Flyers are 9-1 in their last 10 vs. Eastern Conference foes and should be well motivated for this one. 10* play on Philadelphia Flyers. |

01-07-20 | Knicks +13.5 v. Lakers | Top | 87-117 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S KNICKS @ LAKERS ATS MAJOR WAGER The New York Knicks are playing their best basketball of the season at the moment with three wins straight up and a 4-1 ATS record through their last five games. They're 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games, and they're catching the LA Lakers at a good time here with the home team likely to look past the 10-26 Knickerbockers with a competitive conference rival in the 23-13 on deck. The Lakers enter this contest on a five-game winning streak, but they've failed to cover as double-digit favorites in each of their last three games and they're 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. 10* play on NY Knicks. |

01-07-20 | Providence +6 v. Marquette | Top | 81-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
PROVIDENCE @ MARQUETTE NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Providence Friars have opened Big East play with triumphs over Georgetown and DePaul. I think they'll give the Marquette a scare here as the Golden Eagles are in a sandwich spot, coming off a win over then-10th ranked Villanova and tougher matchups on deck, first at Seton Hall and then at home against Xavier. While Marquette has impressed home at Fiserv Forum, I think this game will be closer than the point spread would suggest. 8* play on Providence. |

01-06-20 | Pacers v. Hornets UNDER 209.5 | Top | 115-104 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 44 m | Show |
MONDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Indiana Pacers will be looking to get back on track defensively after giving up an average of 120 points in back-to-back losses. They still boast one of the best defensive efficiency ratings in the league, and here they'll face a Charlotte team that has been held to 104 points or fewer in four of its last six games. Under is 14-5-1 in Pacers last 20 vs. a team with a losing straight up record, 4-1 in Pacers last 5 games as a road favorite and 8-3 in Hornets last 11 games as a home underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-05-20 | Grizzlies v. Suns OVER 234 | Top | 121-114 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
TOP RATED NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns and the Memphis Grizzlies are both among the worst teams in the league for points allowed. Both teams have been heating up on the offensive side of the hardwood lately as well with Memphis scoring 117+ points in three straight games (won 140-114 at LA Clippers on Saturday) and Phoenix scoring 120+ in two of its last three games. Over is 6-0 in Grizzlies last 6 games playing on no rest and 8-2 in Suns last 10 games as a home favorite. The over/under is 25-11 in all NBA games with a total of more than 233 points this season. 10* play on OVER. |

01-05-20 | Lightning v. Hurricanes -125 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 56 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NHL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY SIDE The Carolina Hurricanes are 2-0 over the Tampa Bay Lightning this season, and I think they'll remain perfect against them after this game. The Canes will not only have home-ice advantage, but they'll also have an extra day of rest compared to the visitors who recorded a 5-3 win at Ottawa on Saturday. Carolina had opened this seven-game homestand with a pair of wins before coming up short in a 4-3 loss to Washington Friday night. This looks like a more than a reasonable price on the home team to bounce back. 10* playon Carolina Hurricanes. |

01-05-20 | Seahawks -1.5 v. Eagles | Top | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 80 h 51 m | Show |
TOP RATED SEAHAWKS @ EAGLES BOOKIE BREAKER The Philadelphia Eagles won the division with a weak 9-7 record, and I'm not impressed with what I've seen of them during the regular season. They've been beaten up on both sides of the ball all season long and I'm not sure how much gas is left in the tank for this banged up Eagles team at this point. They'll face a Seattle side that is also far from 100% healthy, but it is 10-3-1 ATS in its last 14 road games and the Seahawks have covered four straight matchups at Philadelphia. The Eagles are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as a home underdog, and the Seahawks have already beaten the Eagles on the road this season, winning 17-9 in Week 12. I think we'll see a similar final score here in this first-round playoff matchup. 10* play on Seattle Seahawks. |

01-05-20 | Vikings v. Saints UNDER 50 | Top | 26-20 | Win | 100 | 75 h 20 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED VIKES @ SAINTS TOTAL This number has moved up several points since the opener, and I disagree completely with the move. The Minnesota Vikings have been held to 20 points or fewer in three of their last four games, and QB Kirk Cousins has a tendency to do poorly in prime time games. While this technically isn't a prime time game, he'll no doubt know that all eyes will on this game. Additionally, star tailback Dalvin Cook has missed the past two with a shoulder injury and the New Orleans Saints rank fourth in the NFL for rushing yards allowed. As for the Saints offense, they've scored 34 points or more in four straight games, but Minnesota owns a stronger D than any of the teams they faced during that stretch. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-04-20 | Pistons v. Warriors +3 | Top | 111-104 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED PISTONS @ WARRIORS SIDE The Golden State Warriors are coming off three losses, but they were on a roll during the Christmas period and I like their chances of covering the spread and perhaps even winning outright in this one. The visiting Detroit Pistons are in a tailspin with just one win through their last 10 games. The Pistons have not only lost those games outright, but also covered the spread just twice during that stretch and they're 12-22-1 ATS overall on the season. The Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog while the Pistons are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 road games. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

01-04-20 | Titans +5.5 v. Patriots | Top | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 84 h 35 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S TITANS @ PATS BEST BET The New England Patriots stumbled over the finishing line of the regular season. They took a 27-24 loss to Miami last time out (where a win would've earned a first-round bye nonetheless!) and they're 1-4-1 ATS over their last six games. The Pats defense is still elite, but QB Tom Brady has finally starting to look his age. Here they'll face a Tennessee Titans team that has heated up remarkably since Ryan Tannehill took over as the starter for Mariota in Week 7 and the Titans are 5-2 ATS over their last seven. With the momentum completely on the visitors side I think they'll give the Pats all they can handle at Foxboro this Saturday. 10* play on Tennessee Titans. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Virginia Tech +8 v. Virginia | Top | 39-65 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED AFTERNOON SIDE I'm happy to take the points on the Virginia Tech Hokies when they visit the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday. Virginia has the top rated defense in the nation, but scoring on VT isn't easy either with the team limiting opponents to 61.1 ppg. Virginia has been asked to cover inflated spreads all season long and is a result only 3-9 ATS with only nine covers through its last 10 games. The Hokies must be feeling pretty good about themselves and ready for a road game following four straight home wins. They're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games following three or more consecutive home games and I'm looking for the visitors to keep this relatively close. 10* play on Virginia Tech. |

01-03-20 | Blazers v. Wizards OVER 235 | Top | 122-103 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
Top rated nba The bookmakers expect the Portland Trail Blazers and the Washington Wizards to run up and down the court and score at will in this matchup, and it's hard to disagree. While casual bettors might be discouraged by the big number, I'm not. Note that the over is 30-10 in NBA games with a total of 235 points or more this season and I doubt these two teams will disappoint. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Grizzlies v. Kings OVER 222.5 | Top | 123-128 | Win | 100 | 19 h 42 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED GRIZZLIES @ KINGS TOTAL The Memphis Grizzlies have one of the worst defensive efficiency ratings in the league and the Sacramento Kings are also in the bottom half in that category. Additionally, only a handful of teams have a higher pace-factor than Memphis which is 8-2 to the over through its last 10 games. As for the Kings, they've seen the majority of their games going under the total this season, but I think we'll see points come fast and easy in this matchup between two defensively challenged teams. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Blazers v. Knicks UNDER 223 | Top | 93-117 | Win | 100 | 18 h 47 m | Show |
BLAZERS @ KNICKS NEW YEARS DAY *TOP PLAY* The Portland Trail Blazers enter this contest as losers of four straight and they've allowed 120+ points in each of their last three games. This looks like a good spot to get back on track defensively against a Knicks team that is one of the worst in league with its 43 percent shooting from the field. Defensively, the Knicks have been solid over their last couple of games, first holding the Nets to 82 points and the Wizards to 100 points even last time out. Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings and I think this will be another relatively low-scoring affair. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Chelsea v. Brighton & Hove Albion OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -135 | 31 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (SOCCER): MIKE'S TOP RATED PREMIER LEAGUE TOTAL Chelsea are coming off a come-from-behind 2-1 win at Arsenal and 12 of their 14 away games in all competitions this season have seen three goals or more. Here they'll visit a Brighton team that is coming off a 2-0 win over Bournemouth, and the team has made itself known for its positive and attacking style of football. I think we'll see both sides going for the W, and one of them will most likely succeed but a shutout win for either side is unlikely. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Temple -2 v. UCF | Top | 62-58 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE FOR DECEMBER The Temple Owls took a tough one-point defeat to Miami-Florida on Dec 17, but they bounced back with a dominant 78-66 triumph over Rider four days later. I like them to pick up another win here against a UFC side that saw a six-game winning streak come to an end with a one-point loss of its own at Oklahoma on Dec 21. The Knights covered the spread, but this won't be an easy matchup against an Owl team that is 10th in the nation in defensive field goal percentage and 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games. 10* play on Temple. |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Suns v. Blazers OVER 231 | Top | 122-116 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show |
SUNS @ BLAZERS LATE NIGHT NBA *TOP PLAY* Both teams rank in the top 10 for points scored per game and bottom 10 for points allowed. Last time out Portland took a 128-120 loss to the Lakers and Phoenix has seen four of its last five overall go over the total. Over is 17-6-1 in Trail Blazers last 24 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 23-11-1 in their last 35 games as a home favorite and 4-0 in Suns last 4 games as an underdog. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Portland. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Thunder v. Raptors UNDER 212 | Top | 98-97 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show |
THUNDER @ RAPTORS *TOP PLAY* The Toronto Raptors have one of the best defensive efficiency ratings in the league, and they showed why in a 113-97 win at Boston last night. Playing on no rest, a low tempo game will be in the interest of the Raptors and I think the OKC Thunder will oblige as they average just100.9 possessions per game (25th in the league) anyhow. OKC is coming off a 104-102 win at Charlotte, a low-scoring game despite going to OT. Under is 36-15-1 in Thunder's last 52 games as a road underdog. Under is 5-2 in Raptors last 7 games as a favorite. 10* play on UNDER. |

12-29-19 | Steelers v. Ravens UNDER 37.5 | Top | 10-28 | Loss | -110 | 40 h 47 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 17 TOTAL The Baltimore Ravens have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs and are as a result expected to rest their starters. I don't see their backups moving the ball well against a Pittsburgh defense that is one of the best in the league, particularly with the Steelers highly motivated and still in the race for a wild-card spot. As for the Steelers offense, it's been lackluster all season long and ranks 30th for total yards and 26th for points scored. The Steelers have played seven straight unders and only three of their 15 games on the season have gone over the total. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Falcons +1 v. Bucs | Top | 28-22 | Win | 100 | 52 h 24 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED FALCONS @ BUCS BOOKIE BREAKER The Atlanta Falcons are coming off three straight wins and they've dropped just two of their last seven games. They're 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall and I like their chances of recording an upset at Tampa Bay in the season finale Sunday afternoon. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw a four-game winning streak come to an end with a 23-20 loss to Houston last time out. QB Jameis Winston threw four interceptions to put the total at 28 for the season, just three shy of his TD count. Atlanta's defense has been decent in recent weeks and Jacksonville QB Gardner Minshew was limited to 181 yards on 13-of-31 passing last week. Additionally, the Bucs are 0-2-1 ATS as a home favorite on the season and Atlanta should be fired up after losing a 35-22 home loss to the Bucs in Week 12. 10* play on Atlanta Falcons. |

12-28-19 | Clemson v. Ohio State +2.5 | Top | 29-23 | Loss | -110 | 186 h 53 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAF): MIKE'S STRONGEST BOWL BET 2019 - FIESTA BOWL I like the points on the Ohio State Buckeyes when they take on the Clemson Tigers in the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday. Despite the Tigers' experience, I give Ohio State the edge here as it's arguably the most complete team in the nation. It's also a team hungry for success while it won't be easy for the Tigers' to repeat last year's Championship win. Additionally, the crowd is expected to be pro-Ohio State with a projected 60%+ support for the Buckeyes. Both teams will end up trading punches, and I'm happy to take the points on the underdog in a contest that's likely to be decided on the final possession. 10* play on Ohio State Buckeyes. |

12-28-19 | Grizzlies +9 v. Nuggets | Top | 110-119 | Push | 0 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S GRIZZLIES @ NUGGETS BEST BET The Memphis Grizzlies have just 12 wins on the season, but six of those have been picked up over their last 10 games. They defeated the Thunder 110-97 as a 5.5-point road underdog on Boxing Day and I think they'll give the Nuggets a scare here at Pepsi Center on Saturday. The Nuggets have covered the spread in just one of their last six overall and they're 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite while Memphis is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games as a road underdog. 10* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |

12-28-19 | Leicester -105 v. West Ham United | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (SOCCER): MIKE'S TOP PREMIER LEAGUE PICK FOR DECEMBER Leicester City are coming off back-to-back losses to Tottenham and Liverpool, but I think they'll bounce back here against a West Ham side that has picked up one point in its last five home games. The Hammers have scored just three goals over their last five games overall, and that despite facing mostly mediocre/poor teams. Leicester had won six straight on the road prior to a 3-1 loss at Man City on Dec 22, but West Ham are not Manchester City ... 10* play on Leicester. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Long Beach State v. Florida OVER 136.5 | Top | 63-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL FOR DECEMBER The Florida Gators shot just 32 percent from the field and 24 percent from 3-point range in a 65-62 setback to Utah State last time out. I expect them to have much more success here against a Long Beach State side that is allowing 78.0 ppg and gave up 79 in a loss at Seattle on Dec 23. Over is 6-1 in Beach last 7 road games and 5-1 in Gators last 6 overall. 10* play on OVER. |

12-27-19 | Suns -2.5 v. Warriors | Top | 96-105 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 46 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT SUNS @ WARRIORS *TOP PLAY* The Phoenix Suns have dropped seven straight games, but I think they'll come into this one rejuvenated after getting three full days off around the holiday. While Phoenix is in a "buy low" spot, we find the Golden State Warriors on the other end of the spectrum coming off three straight wins SU and ATS. Suns are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Warriors are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

12-27-19 | North Carolina -4.5 v. Temple | Top | 55-13 | Win | 100 | 97 h 15 m | Show |
NORTH CAROLINA VS. TEMPLE MILITARY BOWL *TOP PLAY* Temple head coach Rod Carey is 0-6 SU and ATS in Bowl games, and I think his Owl side will come up short both SU and ATS when taking on the North Carolina Tar Heels in the Military Bowl. North Carolina freshman QB Sam Howell leads the ACC in passing yards and passing touchdowns and closed out the season with five 300-yard games in his last seven outings. Temple has a solid pass defense, but I expect the Tar Heels have put up good numbers against other strong Ds and should find enough holes to exploit. As for Temple's offense, it can sputter at times and we can note that UNC held its last two opponents to a combined 17 points. Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. 10* play on North Carolina Tar Heels. |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Wolves v. Kings -4.5 | Top | 105-104 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
WOLVES @ KINGS THURSDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The Sacramento Kings are 0-4 SU and ATS over their last four games, but I like their chances of coming out of the short Christmas break with a win when hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday night. Minnesota has dropped 11 straight games and the team is 1-6-1 ATS in its last 8 games as an underdog. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has missed four straight games and the star center is questionable for this contest. The Kings took a 113-104 home loss to Houston on Dec. 23 but they're 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 2 days rest and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |
|||||||
12-25-19 | Pelicans v. Nuggets UNDER 218.5 | Top | 112-100 | Win | 100 | 24 h 52 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT PELICANS @ NUGGETS XMAS DAY *TOP PLAY* Last year the 10 NBA games on Christmas Day went 6-2-2 to the under, and I think this late matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Denver Nuggets will follow that trend.. Only three teams own a better defensive efficiency rating than Denver and the same is true for its pace factor. The New Orleans Pelicans have their struggles on the defensive end but note that the under is 7-2 in their last 9 games as an underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Bulls +4.5 v. Magic | Top | 95-103 | Loss | -102 | 20 h 1 m | Show |
TOP RATED BULLS @ MAGIC NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Orlando Magic have been one of the worst teams against the spread this season and they enter this contest as losers of six of their last seven straight up. They've averaged 103 ppg through their last three games and took a 118-103 loss at Portland last time out. Here they'll host a Chicago Bulls team that is coming off back-to-back road wins, most recently a 119-107 win as a 10-point dog at Detroit. The Bulls are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. The Magic meanwhile are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. Under is 16-5 in Magic last 21 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and they rank 27th in the NBA in field-goal percentage. I think their offensive struggles will continue against a Bulls team that is not all that bad defensively. 10* play on Chicago Bulls. |

12-22-19 | Ravens -10 v. Browns | Top | 31-15 | Win | 101 | 79 h 35 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): EARLY RAVENS @ BROWNS *TOP PLAY* The Baltimore Ravens rolled up 430 total yards of offense when they steamrolled the NY Jets 42-21 last week and can clinch the top seed in the AFC with a win against the Browns this Sunday. Additionally, the Ravens will be looking to avenge one of their two losses on the season after falling 40-25 at Cleveland in Week 4. Baltimore has won 10 straight since while Cleveland is having yet another disappointing season, and most recently it has lost two of its last three. There's little to no chemistry in the locker room, and I don't see how they'll be able to hang around with a red hot and motivated Ravens side. Ravens are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Browns are 6-22-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. 10* play on Baltimore Ravens. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Rams +6.5 v. 49ers | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 83 h 14 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): TOP RATED SIDE FOR DECEMBER I absolutely love the points on the LA Rams when they visit the San Francisco 49ers Saturday night. They're in a massive bounce-back spot after taking a 44-21 beating by Dallas last Sunday, and while their playoff chances are slim to none at this point I still expect them to show up here looking to revenge a loss to their division opponent earlier in the season. As for the Niners, they fell to the surging Atlanta Falcons last week and are now tied with Seattle at the top of the NFC West (currently losing the tiebreaker). They face the Seahawks in a matchup likely to decide the division next week, and I think that's where their focus is, particularly with a dinged up defense (SF was without five defensive starters against the Falcons). 10* play on LA Rams. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Bills v. Patriots UNDER 37.5 | Top | 17-24 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 28 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 16 TOTAL I think points will come at a premium for both sides at Foxboro this Saturday, and even though we're seeing a very low total I don't think the books can make this low enough. Buffalo is averaging only 20.9 ppg while the Pats have held opponents to 12.9 ppg and the Bills have scored 17 points in back-to-back games. As for New England, while it broke out for 34 points last time out, that was against the Bengals ... It had averaged only 17.6 ppg through its last five prior to that and the Bills defense ranks second to the Pats for points allowed at 15.9 ppg. Under is 7-0 in Bills last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 8-3 in Patriots last 11 home games. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED TOTAL FOR DECEMBER Both sides rank near the bottom of the league for defensive efficiency with Memphis allowing 109.2 points per 100 possessions and Cleveland 111.3 points per 100 possessions. Additionally, while the Grizzlies have been known as a slow team in recent seasons, this edition is much different with only three teams playing at a faster pace. Over is 12-5 in Grizzlies last 17 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 16-3 in Cavaliers last 19 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on OVER. |

12-19-19 | Hurricanes v. Avalanche -105 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 22 m | Show |
TOP RATED NHL MONEYLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Colorado Avalanche will be playing on no rest after defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Wednesday. I still expect them to have enough gas left in the tank to take care of business against a Carolina team that is in a potential flat spot following back-to-back road wins at Calgary and Winnipeg. The Canes will be closing out a road trip on which they're currently 3-0-1, but it'll be a hostile environment in Pepsi Center where the Avs are a solid 10-3-2 on the season. We can also note that Colorado should have its No. 1 netminder Philipp Grubauer back between the pipes as Pavel Francouz got the nod yesterday. 10* play on Colorado Avalanche. |

NETS @ SPURS THURSDAY NIGHT TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The San Antonio Spurs will be looking to bounce back from a 109-107 loss at Houston on Monday. They did a good job defensively holding the Rockets to 41 percent shooting from the field and they're 8-2 to the under in their last 10 playing two days rest. Here they'll face a Brooklyn Nets side that is 5-1 to the under in its last six games and saw just 209 points in its last game, despite going to overtime. 10* play on UNDER. |

12-18-19 | Bulls +1 v. Wizards | Top | 110-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
TOP RATED BULLS @ WIZARDS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Washington Wizards defeated the Pistons 133-119 at Detroit on Monday to put an end to an ugly four-game losing streak. With the pressure off, I think they'll come up short against the visiting Chicago Bulls tonight. Note that the Wizards have not played at home since taking a 135-119 loss to the Clippers on Dec. 8 and that they're 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 1 days rest. As for the Chicago Bulls, they've lost more games than they've won lately, but they're 5-1 ATS in their last 6 and a perfect 4-0 in their last 4 away from home. 10* play on Chicago Bulls. |

12-18-19 | East Tennessee State v. LSU -9.5 | Top | 74-63 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED SIDE *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The LSU Tigers have scored 90+ points in three of their last four games, all wins SU and ATS. The East Tennessee St. Buccaneers on the other hand may have won four of their last five straight up, but they're just 0-4 ATS in lined games during that stretch. LSU has been shooting lights out home at Maravich Assembly Center all season, coming into this contest with a perfect 6-0 SU record and four straight covers ATS. ETSU took a 78-68 loss as a 3.5-point favorite at North Dakota State it's last time out on the road, and I don't see the visitors keeping pace with the home side in what will be a hostile environment. 10* play on LSU Tigers. |

12-17-19 | Magic v. Jazz UNDER 206.5 | Top | 102-109 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 22 m | Show |
MAGIC @ JAZZ TUESDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The Utah Jazz are holding opponents to 103 points per 100 possessions and they are very capable slowing down the tempo to a snail's pace, something that's likely to happen here with only two teams playing at a slower pace than the Orlando Magic. Both the Jazz and the Magic rank in the bottom 10 of the NBA for offensive efficiency, with Orlando particularly poor at scoring just 103.4 points per 100 possessions. Under is 16-5 in Jazz last 21 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on UNDER. |

12-17-19 | Senators v. Lightning OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 102 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NHL): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL FOR DECEMBER The Ottawa Senators took a 6-1 loss at Florida last night, and heavy legs will certainly not do them any favors on the defensive end of the rink here at Tampa Bay the following night. The Sens have seen six of their last seven go over the total and the over is 9-2-1 in the Lightning's last 12 games as a home favorite. Seven of the last nine head-to-head meetings between these two clubs have gone over the total and I predict another high-scoring affair tonight. 10* play on OVER. |

12-16-19 | Avalanche v. Blues -109 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
TOP RATED AVS @ BLUES MONEYLINE MASSACRE There will be plenty at stake at Enterprise Center Monday night as a Colorado Avalanche triumph in this one would see them leapfrog the St. Louis Blues to move top of the Central Division standings. We can however note that even though the Avs are riding a nine-game point streak (8-0-1), they've routinely struggled in St. Louis in recent years, losing eight of the last nine encounters there. The Blues are coming off back-to-back home wins over Vegas and Chicago, and I think this is the kind of game where the defending Stanley Cup champs really will be on their toes. 10* play on St. Louis Blues. |

12-15-19 | Rams v. Cowboys UNDER 48.5 | Top | 21-44 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED NFL TOTAL FOR WEEK 15 I think Sunday afternoon's matchup between the LA Rams and the Dallas Cowboys will be a relatively low-scoring affair. Dallas has averaged just 13 ppg through a three-game slide, and here it'll face a Rams defense that has been one of the best in the league since acquiring star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The under is 7-1 in the Rams last 8 games overall and 12-3 in their last 15 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 10* play on UNDER. |
