November 25, 2013 Sports Picks

Yesterday was an up and down day going 10-10 for -300.  For today, here are my plays:


Niners -230 $460 to win $200
Niners -5 $110 to win $100
- This is a tough game to handicap.  I'm taking the 49ers for a few reasons.  The 49ers are one of the best rushing teams averaging 141 yards a game and the Redskins are not good at stopping the run giving up 115 rushing yards a game.  The Redskins are the best rushing team in the the NFL but the 49ers are good at stopping the run.  The Redskins are also really bad at stopping the pass so San Fran will be able to run a well balanced offense and should put up plenty of points.  Washington is just 2-2 at home and San Fran is 3-2 on the road.  They played well at New Orleans last week only losing by 3.  Washington has lost two straight against MN and Philly. 

Niners over 47.5 $220 to win $200
- The Redskins have a bad defense and have been pretty good on offense.  San Fran should be able to score and limit the Redskins a little.  I think this over / under is a little low considering the weather looks good tonight.

NJ Devils -135 $270 to win $200
- New Jersey is a really good hockey team this year.  They are hot right now.  Over their last four games, they beat Pitt at home 4-1, they Anaheim on the road, they beat LA on the road and then they lost their last game 2-1 in San Jose.  They had a day of rest and play Winnipeg tonight at home.  THe Jets have lost four straight including three straight home games.  NJ is 4-2 at home and Winnipeg is 3-5 on the road. 

Flyers -120 $120 to win $100
- Philly is much better than FL.  The Flyers are on a three game winning streak and they are 4-3 on the road.
