5* NBA EASTERN CONF TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET This is a low total, and if we combine the spread with the total the bookmakers project the Celtics to win 111.5 - 97.5. I think Heat will score 100+, but I'm still not sure that will be enough to cover the number; the Celtics are an offensive juggernaut that has scored 130+ points in back-to-back games while barely breaking a sweat. Over is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater. Over is 4-0 in Heat last 4 games as an underdog of 11.0 or greater. 5* PLAY ON THE OVER.

MIKE'S 4* MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 12 runs through their last two games, but they're still 8-2 to the under in their last 10 games. The Chicago White Sox are averaging a pathetic 2-1 runs per nine innings on the season, and Philly right-hander Spencer Turnbull (1-0, 1.80 ERA) is off to a terrific start to the season. As for White Sox starter Garett Crochet (1-2, 3.57 ERA), the left-hander had allowed just four runs through his first three starts before giving up five runs in a 5-0 loss to Cincinnati in his last start. It was still a decent outing, though; Crochet had 10 Ks against four hits and three walks over his 4 2/3 innings on the mound. Crochet leads the American League with 31 strikeouts entering play on Thursday. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

Severino gave up six runs (three earned) in his season debut but has since allowed just two runs over 10 innings. The Bucs hand the ball to left-hander Bailey Falter, who, like Severino, has recovered after a rocky first start. In his next two starts since his season opener, he has allowed only one run on five hits over 11 innings. 4* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

MIKE'S LATE 4* BUCKS/SUNS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY The Phoenix Suns are coming off three straight games that saw at least 249 points, but I think this game will go under the posted total. The Milwaukee Bucks put up only 108 points in a loss in Utah on Sunday, and they're dealing with injuries with Dame Lillard listed as questionable and Giannis Antetokounmpo listed as probable. Under is 6-1 in Suns last 7 games as a home favorite. Under is 4-0 in Bucks last 4 games as a road underdog. Under is 21-7 in Bucks last 28 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5. 4* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

The Indiana Pacers have scored 120+ points in three of their last four games, but I think they'll find it difficult to get good looks against this Knicks team.

The Niners have the third-best scoring defense in the NFL holding opponents to 17.5 points per game, and I think they'll be able to take an early lead and then start to bleed clock. I would lean to the 49ers to cover the spread as long as it's under 10, but I'm worried about the backdoor cover and feel that the under is a much better play. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

The Pels' play on the defensive end of the hardwood is underrated, and situational trends indicate that this game will go under the total.

MIKE'S 5* NHL TOTAL OF THE MONTH MAX BET The St. Louis Blues won the last meeting 2-1 in OT just a couple of days ago. four of their last five games have gone under the total. The total has gone under in 13 of St. Louis’ last 17 games when playing as the underdog. The Vegas Golden Knights have struggled to light up the lamp lately. They've been held to two goals or fewer in five of their last eight games. The total has gone under in 8 of Vegas’ last 11 games when playing as the favorite. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

Offensively, the Colts will be without the 2021 NFL rushing champion Jonathan Taylor who underwent thumb surgery earlier this week. The under is 6-0 in Colts' last 6 games as a road favorite and 31-14 in their last 45 games in December.

MIKE'S 5* BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP TOTAL OF THE YEAR The Oklahoma State Cowboys are averaging 30.2 points per game and while Texas is holding opponents to 325.3 yards per game (27th), they are much better at stopping the run than the pass. Okie State has a well-balanced offense that ranks 50th on the ground and 40th through the air, and Texas has injuries on the defensive side of ball. As for the Cowboys' defense, there are holes to exploit and they've given up 30+ points in consecutive games, both as favorites, and now they're coming up against one of the best teams in the nation. I would not be surprised if both teams put up 30+ points in this game, and I love the over. 5* PLAY ON OVER.

MIKE'S 4* NHL TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The San Jose Sharks are 14-6 to the under on the season, mainly because they can't find the net. They're averaging a paltry 1.6 goals per game, and here they'll face a Boston team that is allowing only 2.6 goals per game (7th). The Bruins have one of the best records in the league because they're so well-balanced, but while they are capable of scoring, their main strength is on the defensive end of the ice. The Bruins won 3-1 when they took on the Sharks on the road back in October, and I think this will be another low-scoring affair. 4* PLAY ON UNDER.

MIKE'S 5* M.N.F. TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Minnesota Vikings are 8-3 to the under on the season and the under is 6-0 in the Vikings last 6 vs. a team with a losing record. The Chicago Bears had scored 13, 17 and 16 points in their past three games before putting up 26 points in a loss at Detroit last week. They looked a lot better with Justin Fields back under center, but this is still a bad Bears offense and the Vikes are allowing only 320.6 yards per game (12th). The Bears have more success running the ball than throwing, but stopping the run is the Vikes strength on D, so this is an unfavorable matchup for Chicago. As for the Vikings offense, Kirk Cousins is done for the year, and star wideout Justin Jefferson has been dealing with a hamstring injury. He's been reported as "unlikely to play", and I fully expect him to sit as their bye week is coming up. There's no reason for them to gamble and not let Jefferson heal up completely. The Vikings won 19-13 when these two teams clashed in Chicago back in October. I would not be surprised if we see a similar scoreline tonight. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

The Chicago Bulls have averaged only 100.5 points over their last six games. Under is 14-6 in Nets last 20 games as a home favorite of 0.5-4.5.

MIKE'S 4* EAGLES/CHIEFS M.N.F. TOTAL TOP PLAY I've said it before and I'll say it again; the Kansas City Chiefs' defense just might be one of the most underrated units in the NFL. That might seem like a weird statement about a team that just won the Super Bowl, but they rarely get the headlines despite ranking 4th in total defense while allowing only 15.9 points per game which ranks 2nd in the NFL. The Chiefs are 7-2 to the under on the season and since the beginning of last season, they are 9-4 to the under against teams with a win percentage of 50% or more. The Eagles' offense is flying high, but I think the Chiefs will dictate the tempo of this game and make it a low-scoring affair. 4* PLAY ON UNDER.

MIKE'S 5* NFL TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Arizona Cardinals picked up their second win of the season when they defeated Atlanta 25-23 last week. That was QB Kyler Murray's first game since suffering an ACL injury in December last year, and we should see a more effective Arizona offense now in the second half of the season. The Houston Texans are coming off a 30-27 win at Cincinnati and rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud keeps impressing under center. I think this will be a shootout as I expect solid play from both quarterbacks while both teams rank in the bottom third for total defense. 5* PLAY ON THE OVER.

MIKE'S 5* NFC TOTAL OF THE YEAR MAX BET This looks like a great spot to back the under, as I expect max effort from Dallas' defense after giving up 28 points in a loss in Philadelphia last week. The first meeting of the season ended with a 40-0 Cowboys win at MetLife Stadium, and that was with Daniel Jones under center for the Giants. Now they'll have rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito going up against one of the best defenses in the NFL ... The only risk of this losing is if the Cowboys decide to run up the score, but even so, they might need to score 38+ points themselves for us to lose. I would not be as tempted to back the Cowboys on the spread though, as they might feel comfortable just shutting down after going up by a couple of scores. 5* PLAY ON UNDER.

That was against an Indianapolis team that has struggled on the defensive side of the ball all season long, and here they'll face a Bears defense that ranks 19th in total defense and has been great at stopping the run. As for Chicago's offense it has much like Carolina, struggled to move the ball for most of the season and the Bears have put up a total of only 30 points through their last two games. This is a low total, but I still like the under as I don't see either team being able to run up the score. 5* PLAY ON UNDER.
