The Arizona St game killed me last night. Who would have guessed that Texas Tech would dominate that game?? Wow. For today, here are my plays:
BC +7.5 $165 to win $150
- Well this game already started but I really like how Boston College has played this year. They've battled good teams all year and I think they can keep this game within a touchdown.
UCLA -6.5 (buy 1 pt) -152 $230 to win $152
- UCLA looked very strong in their last game against USC winning that game 35-14. Virginia Tech is nothing special and they recently lost to a really back Maryland team at home.
AZ / UCLA Parlay $140 to win $100
- Even though I think Boston College keeps it close I would be more confident in Arizona winning that game. Arizona recently beat Oregon 42-16. UCLA should win but nothing is guaranteed.
Rice +7 $220 to win $200
- I think this game between Rice and Mississippi St will be a toss up. It is sort of a David vs. Goliath type game. But Rice is fully capable of taking down the giant. They beat Tulane and Marshall in their last two games are will bring that momentum into this game. Miss St has a solid team and will have the home field advantage but I'm still going with Rice.
UCLA / TX A&M Parlay $170 to win $100
- TX A&M should be able to win this game. Duke has played well all year but they were completely exposed in their conference championship. The Aggies are just in a different league. Johnny Football will want to make a good last impression.
A&M under 75 $220 to win $200
SL Blues -135 $135 to win $100

Well I had a good day yesterday going 9-2 for +735. My only two losses came on 10 pt teasers. I need to avoid doing those as much going forward. For today, here are my plays:
Navy -6.5 $110 to win $100
Navy / AZ St Parlay $200 to win $115
- Navy has been extremely good on offense this year and they are one of the best rushing teams in the nation. They have struggled on defense but put together a very nice defensive effort against Army a few weeks ago giving up just 7 points in that contest. Middle Tenn has had a good season but their only key win this year was against Marshall. They got smoked by UNC, BYU and North Texas and East Carolina. They don't stop the run very well so Navy should have no trouble moving the ball down the field. Arizona St has an amazing offense (averaging 41 ppg) and Texas Tech probably has one of the worst defenses (giving up 31 ppg). TX Tech lost their last five games. In those games they gave up 38, 52, 49, 63 and 41. AZ St wins 52-24
GA Tech +140 $150 to win $210
- I'm a little confused on why Georgia Tech is the underdog in this game. Yes, I understand that Mississippi plays in the SEC. Big deal. They only beat LSU and Arkansas within their conference. They are coming off a 17-10 loss to Miss St where they couldn't generate any sort of offense. Georgia Tech has been inconsistent this year but they've beat some good teams (Duke, UNC, Syracuse) and played well in a loss against Georgia in their last game. This game is a toss up in my opinion so I might as well take the +140.
GA Tech +13 / Oregon -4 / AZ St -4 10 teaser $130 to win $100
- I know I know. I just talked about not doing 10 point teasers. But I really wanted to do something with Oregon because I think they will win for sure but not sure by how much. They struggled down the stretch after the weather cooled down and had a few injury concerns. Well, they are now healthy and playing in a dome where their speed with be on display. Not good for Texas. AZ St will easily beat Texas Tech.

December 29, 2013 Sports Picks
Here are my plays today:
Panthers/ Colts Parlay $200 to win $109
- Both Carolina and Indy need to win this game. They are playing an inferior opponent.
Bears +13 / Ravens +17 / Dolphins +4 10 pt teaser $260 to win $200
- Chicago is home where they are 5-2 this year. They are three point underdogs at home with the playoffs on the line. This game is likely to be close.
Packers -3 $165 to win $150
- I'm going with the Packers to win this game because the team is playing better and now they get Rodgers back. Chicago has one of the worst defenses in the league giving up an average of 386 yards per game. Green Bay is much better with Rodgers. But this game should be close. Green Bay wins by 4.
Patriots / Saints Parlay $600 to win $225
- Both teams need to win this game. The Saints are the best home team and are 7-0 and there's no way they lose against the Bucs at home with the playoffs on the line. Tampa has made some improvements this year but are still just 1-6 on the road. New England needs to win this game to get a first round bye. They are also 7-0 at home and 4-1 over their last 5. Buffalo is just 2-5 on the road.
Saints / Broncos Parlay $400 to win $107
- Denver needs to win this game to secure the #1 seed. They get to play Oakland who has been struggling losing five straight.
Broncos / Chargers / Seahawks Parlay $300 to win $165
- The Chargers may be out of the playoffs when they play but they are preparing for this game and want to win. San Diego is hot right now winning three straight and they play a Kansas City team who are already locked into the fifth seed. They most likely will be resting starters for some/most of this game. Seattle is home and needs to win to lock up the #1 seed. St. Louis is just 2-5 on the road.
Added:
Saints / Seahawks Parlay $800 to win $200
- Both teams should win easily.
Bears +13 / Chargers -4 / Broncos -1 10 pt teaser $200 to win $154
- I lost my previous teaser due to the Ravens giving up a late pick six and by not scoring points when they should have at the end. I love the Chargers to win this game with KC resting starters and so much on the line.

December 28, 2013 Sports Picks
I had a decent day yesterday. Here are my plays today:
Rutgers +14.5 $220 to win $200
- Notre Dame finished their season strong but this is a large spread for a game that is likely to be lower scoring. I think Notre Dame will win but they should win by 7 or 10 points.
Cincinnati +9.5 / Over 50.5 6 pt teaser $240 to win $200
- The Bearcats ended their regular season on fire before losing by seven against Louisville in their final game. They have the ability to put up points. They averaged 33 points per game. On defense, Cincy was pretty good as well only giving up 19.5 points per game. North Carolina had a strong season going 6-6 but they lost a lot of games against average teams. They did average 32 points per game but defensively they gave up an average of 25 points per game. 31-28 Bearcats.
Miami +5 $220 to win $200
- I love getting points in games like this. Miami has a lot of talent and they will want to finish their season on a strong note. They were very inconstant this year losing to teams like Duke and Virginia Tech but they have a very good mix on offense between run and pass and should give Louisville some trouble. Louisville is just a bit over-rated in my view. I'm not a fan of Teddy Bridgewater and don't think he is a good as people are saying. The Cardinals schedule was really weak this year and when they did play a good team they lost to UCF. Their only key wins came against Houston by 7 and Cincinnati by 7. Miami is the better of these two teams and I'm hoping they correct their defensive inefficiencies and keep this game close.
Miami/Louisville under 57 $165 to win $150
- Louisville had one of the best defenses in their conference giving up just 12.4 points per game. Miami struggled defensively down the stretch but they had a lot of time to rest and study and I think they hold Louisville to under 28 points.
Mich +11.5 / Under 60.5 6 pt teaser -120 $360 to win $300
- The under in this game is easy. Michigan has a very solid defense and they will be playing without their starting QB. I'm taking Michigan with the points because I think their freshman QB is actually slightly better than Gardner and Michigan has practiced with him for a month and sources say he looks really good and is clicking with his receivers. Kansas St has had a very good season and is rightly favored in this game. I just think Michigan can keep this game within about 7 points. Overall talent and coaching favors Michigan.
Kentucky NCAAB +2.5 $110 to win $100
Atlanta Hawks -6 $110 to win $100
- Charlotte just played last night at home so could be a little tired after giving it everything they had against the Thunder. Atlanta is really good at home where they are 11-4. They are also 7-3 over their last 10. The Hawks are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games. Head to head, Atlanta is 8-1 ATS in their last nine meetings vs. Charlotte.
Kansas St (NCAAF) / UCLA (NCAAB) Parlay $160 to win $100
- After some more research I really like Kansas St to win this game but I'm hoping for a tight game. I parlayed with UCLA because UCLA is really good this year and Alabama has struggled lately.

I broke even yesterday. I was able to get in on the Trailblazers at -4. For today, I didn't post early enough as I got in on Marshall -2.5 for $110. For the later games here are my plays:
Gophers -3.5 $110 to win $100
- Minnesota has had a very good season going 8-4. They lost their last two games but played Michigan St and Wisconsin pretty tough. Prior to those two games they beat Penn St, Indiana, Nebraska and Northwestern. They have a good run game and are 5th in the Big Ten. Syracuse also runs better than they pass so those stats don't mean much. Its more about strength of schedule and the Gophers have more key wins than Cuse. Syracuse lost to Penn St at home and Northwestern on the road. Both teams the Gophers beat. The Orange lost 56-0 against Georgia Tech and 59-3 against FSU. Their most notable win was against Boston College where they won 34-31 at home.
MN vs. Syr under 47.5 $110 to win $100
- Both teams have very good defenses and offenses that have struggled. The Gophers scored just 7 points against Wisconsin and 3 points against Michigan St in their last two games. MN averages just 26 points a game on offense and gives up just 22 points on defense. Syracuse got shut out against Georgia Tech, scored just 3 points against FSU and was involved in a 13-0 win against Maryland. Syracuse averages just 23 points per game and gives up an average of 26. Seems as though the Gophers will win 26-22 so the over under and spreads are set where they should be.
Huskies -3 $110 to win $100
- We finally have a good bowl game! I like both of these teams. I'm going with Washington because this team has had some very impressive wins this year. They smoked Boise St 38-6, beat Illinois on the road, beat Arizona 31-13, beat Oregon St 69-27 on the road and beat Washington St. They did lose against some good teams (Stanford, Oregon, Arizona St and UCLA) but those are all very solid teams. BYU has had a good season and they had an impressive win against Texas early in the season. But after that game they lost their next game at home against Utah. My concern with BYU is that they lost to Notre Dame by 10 on 11/23 and then beat Nevada by just five points on 11/30. They have a solid defense but Washington's high powered offense will be too much for the Cougars in this one.
OK City Thunder -7 $110 to win $100
- The Thunder are extremely hot on the road right now winning their last 6 road games by 29, 13, 12, 16, 9 and 14. Charlotte is just 8-9 at home.

No Ill +1.5 $165 to win $150
No Ill +7.5 / Under 63 6 pt teaser $200 to win $166
- I like Northern Illinois because Jordan Lynch will want to end his college career on a positive note and they will want to make up for their recent loss to Bowling Green. I think that loss exposed some weaknesses the Huskies have and that has dropped this line making No. Ill an underdog. They will fix those problems and I think we see a much improved defensive effort tonight. Utah St has a solid defense but they haven't beaten any really good teams this year. The good weather will benefit the Huskies.
Trailblazers -4 $110 to win $100
- Portland is 11-2 at home and 8-2 over their last 10. The Clippers just played yesterday so will be a little tired out and losing in a late game at Golden St. Plus they are just 8-8 on the road.

49ers -13.5 $165 to win $150
49ers -6.5 under 53 7 pt teaser $200 to win $150
- SF is playing very good football and have won four straight. They are 5-2 at home and are healthy and needing this win bad. Atlanta has struggled all year and they haven't played well on defense. They give up an average of 28 points per game. San Fran is one of the best defensive teams in the league giving up just 16 points per game on average. They have been especially stingy at home. The Niners 7th in the league with an average of 131 rushing yards per game and Atlanta is the 3rd worst team giving up 135 rush yards per game. I don't see how the Falcons will stop the 49ers and I think they will have a hard time scoring. 31-7 Niners!
Heat - 8 $110 to win $100

I had a good day yesterday going 2-1 for +140. Here are my plays today:
WSU / USC Parlay $200 to win $244
- Washington St has had a very good season going 6-6 and having key wins against USC, Arizona and Utah. They also almost beat Auburn. Colorado St average at best. They recently got shut out by Utah St. USC is one of the best teams in the Pac Ten and they had key wins against Stanford, Oregon St and Arizona. Fresno St had a shot at a BCS bowl and an undefeated season but they lost to San Jose St. A game where they didn't really play defense.
- Colorado St is a popular pick to stay within the spread. I'm not as confidence but I think they can keep this game within two touchdowns. USC will win and San Diego St has had a tougher schedule. They have played well all year and I think they have a slight edge over Buffalo who hasn't really beaten any decent teams all year. They beat bad teams but have struggled against good teams.
NHL Lightning -155 $155 to win $100
Tampa is 13-3 at home and have won three straight. Carolina is 7-7 on the road and 4-4-2 over their last ten.
Trailblazers / Clippers / Warriors Parlay $175 to win $100

CO St +15 / USC +5 / SD St +8.5 10 pt teaser $200 to win $154- USC plays solid defense and will be able to move the ball on Fresno. I think they win by at least 7.
- Colorado St is a popular pick to stay within the spread. I'm not as confidence but I think they can keep this game within two touchdowns. USC will win and San Diego St has had a tougher schedule. They have played well all year and I think they have a slight edge over Buffalo who hasn't really beaten any decent teams all year. They beat bad teams but have struggled against good teams.
NHL Lightning -155 $155 to win $100

Yesterday I had another good day going 3-2 for +209. Here are my plays tonight:
Thunder -13.5 $165 to win $150
- Oklahoma City has been very dominant at home this year going 12-0 so there's no question they will win this game. The question is by how much? Well, Chicago has been dreadful since Rose went down and they are just 2-8 in their last 10. They just lost by 15 last night at Houston and Oklahoma City is better than Houston. The Thunder have won by more than 14 four times out of there last eight home games.
Warriors -8 $330 to win $300
Warriors ML -300 $600 to win $200
- Golden State is healthy and playing good ball right now winning by 11 in their last game. The Spurs will be playing without Duncan, Parker and Ginobili so they won't be themselves tonight. ** Just doubled up on this and am now going $330 on the -8 and adding the ML because of the total mismatch. The Spurs are well coached but without Parker and Duncan this team is just a JV squared. Go all in on Golden St.
Penguins -155 $155 to win $100
- Getting Pittsburgh at home at decent odds is a must play. Pitt has won 5 straight at home and they are 15-3 overall at home. The Wild are playing without their starting goalie and are just 6-8 on the road.
UCLA +5 $110 to win $100
- UCLA has played very well this year going 9-1 and they have a talented team this year. Duke is also good but has struggled defensively. They have had trouble with putting teams away this year. I think this will be a close game.

Yesterday I went 2-2 for -75. Here are my plays tonight:
Trailblazers -4.5 $220 to win $200
- Portland is one of the best teams in the NBA, actually they have the best record in the NBA at 21-4. They are 8-2 over their last 10 and have a very impressive 11-2 road record. They have also won four straight. This team is clicking on all cylinders right now. Cleveland is having a decent season at 9-14 and they have a 7-3 home record but they are just 3-7 over their last 10 games so they are going in the wrong direction.
Bobcats -1.5 $165 to win $150
- Charlotte is no longer the laughing stock of the NBA. They have put together an okay season so far going 10-14. They have lost three straight and are 3-7 over their last 10 but looking at Sacramento they have the edge in this contest. The Kings are just 7-15 on the season, 2-5 on the road and 3-7 over their last 10.
Thunder -2.5 $220 to win $200
- Oklahoma City has won six straight games and are 9-1 over there last 10. They are better at home but are still 7-4 on the road. Denver was on a hot streak but they have cooled off a bit going 3-3 over their last 6 games. They lost to Cleveland, Boston and Utah during that stretch.
Blackhawks -140 $200 to win $150
- Chicago is 12-5 on the road and 6-3-1 over their last ten games. Nashville has won three straight but they are just 5-4-1 over their last ten and just 8-6-2 at home.

My plays for tonight are:
Ravens +6.5 $220 to win $200
Ravens +13.5 / Over 43.5 7 pt teaser $280 to win $200
- Baltimore is the defending world champions and you know they want to get back into the playoffs. To do that they need to win this game. The Ravens are hitting their stride at the right time and have won three straight and four out of their last five. Detroit is just 2-3 over their last five games and recently lost to Tampa at home. Baltimore has played tough on the road and have only lost by more than 6 points in one of those road games, and that was against Denver in their first game. Both teams will need to air it out so the over 43.5 is looking very good.
Heat -12.5 $165 to win $150
- Miami is home where they are 10-2 and they are playing against the worst team in the NBA. My only concern is they will rest their starters in the 2nd half to gear up for the Pacer's on Wednesday. This is still an important win so I hope they can win by double digits.
St. Louis Blues -145 $145 to win $100
- The Blues has looked very dominant this year and their 22-6 record shows. They are 9-4 on the road. Ottawa hasn't been as good this year and are just 13-15 on the season and 6-9 at home.

I had a nice day yesterday going 5-4 for +95. Here are my plays today:
Falcons/Colts Parlay -115 $300 to
win $260
-Atlanta has had a rough season but
they are much better at home and have played well over their last three
games. Washington has one of the worst
defenses in the league and they are just 1-5 on the road and 0-5 over their
last five. They are starting Kurt
Cousins so Atlanta has the edge in this one.
I like the Colts to win at home against the Texans. They haven’t played well since Wayne went out
but they have some decent weapons on offense and they are 4-2 at home and 4-0
in the division. The Texans have lost 11
straight and have never won in Indianapolis.
They have their sights set on the #1 pick.
Niners/Seahawks Parlay -121 $150 to
win $124
-I’m taking these two road teams in a
parlay. San Francisco has been playing
great football winning three straight.
They are an impressive 4-2 on the road.
Tampa has been playing good football going 4-1 over their last five but
San Fran can shut down their run game making them one dimensional. I like Seattle to win at New York. The Seahawks need this win to keep their lead
for the #1 seed. They are 5-2 on the
road and 4-1 over their last five. The
Giants have been really inconsistent and are coming off a very poor showing in
San Diego.
Jags +13 / Patriots +10 / Saints +3.5
10 pt teaser $200 to win $154
-Jacksonville has look very good and
have won three straight and are 4-1 over their last five. Buffalo is 1-5 on the road and 1-4 over their
last five. Why are the Bills favored in
this game? New England had a poor
showing against Cleveland last week and Miami had an impressive win at
Pittsburgh last week but the Patriots need this win to control their destiny
for the #1 seed and you know they are going to fix their issues from last
week. Miami has improved but they still
have many weaknesses that New England will expose. The Saints are much better than St. Louis but
they don’t play as well on the road. New
Orleans is 4-1 over their last five and St. Louis is just 3-3 at home and 2-3
over their last five.
Eagles/Panthers Parlay $250 to win $150
-Minnesota is a disappointing 3-9 on
the season but they are 3-3 at home and they have played better over their last
five going 2-2-1. They’ve won their last
two home games. Philly has won five in a
row and are an impressive 5-1 on the road but they haven’t played in a dome
stadium all year so the home field advantage will be important in this
game. ** Update, I changed this bet from MN +7 to this parlay. Peterson is out and the Eagles are hot. This is a no brainer to pick the Eagles to win.
Panthers / Chiefs Parlay $230 to win
$151
-Carolina has an easy matchup against
the Jets at home. The Panthers are 5-1
at home and 4-1 over their last five.
The Jets are just 1-5 on the road.
Kansas City is coming off a 45-10 win on the road against Washington
last week. They are 5-1 on the road this
year. Oakland has lost three straight.
Cardinals -3 $110 to win $100
- Arizona is much better at home but they are 4-1 over their last five and Tennessee is just 1-4 over their last five. The Titans are just 2-4 at home and the Cardinals are much better all around and should be able to win this game.
- Arizona is much better at home but they are 4-1 over their last five and Tennessee is just 1-4 over their last five. The Titans are just 2-4 at home and the Cardinals are much better all around and should be able to win this game.

$140 to win $100
- Carolina should win this game easily and I'm taking the under 48 because Carolina has the #1 ranked defense in the league giving up just 13 points per game. The Jets are the second worst team in the NFL on offense scoring just 15.8 points per game.

Here are my picks for today:
Navy -13 $165 to win $150
- Navy has played well all year and finished the season at 7-4. They had some nice wins this season against Indiana, Pitt and San Jose St. Amy finished at just 3-8 and didn't have any key wins. They lost to Air Force 42-28, a team Navy easily beat.
Navy vs. Army Over 49 $220 to win $200
- Navy has a very good offense that was on full display against San Jose St in their last game. That game also exposed their defense which had a very hard time stopping anything that San Jose St. threw at them. Navy put up an average of 34.4 points per game and Army scored an average of 26. Both teams give up a lot of points (27.6 Navy, 31.4 Army). This game really should go over 49. I'm surprised this total is so low.
NCAAB
Indiana -4 $165 to win $150
- I'm taking the Hoosiers in this one because they have more talent than Notre Dame and have been playing well this year. They are 8-2 Notre Dame is 7-3 but they have had trouble putting away sub par teams this year. They are coming off a loss against North Dakota St.
Washington -11 $110 to win $100
- The Huskies are home and they historically have been very good at home. They started the season off a little slow going 4-4 but they haven't had trouble scoring points so far. Idaho St is 3-3 on the season has has lost three of their last five games. They lost 88-60 against Arizona St.
North Carolina -3 $165 to win $150
- UNC has had impressive wins against Michigan St (79-65 on the road) and Louisville (93-84 on the road) so they appear to get up for big games. Kentucky hasn't beat a ranked team this year and recently lost to Baylor on the road and Michigan St on the road.
Butler vs. Purdue under 143 $110 to win $100
- If I had to pick I winner I would go with Butler because they have played very well at home this year but Purdue has performed well so I wasn't as confident. I like the under in this game. Both teams can play good defense and 143 is a lot of points in college basketball.
NBA
Knicks +1 $165 to win $150
- New York has had a disappointing season so far and are just 6-16. But they won their last home game and looked pretty good in that game and they are 2-1 in their last three home games. Atlanta is just 4-7 on the road. I think New York starts to play better and it starts tonight.
Bulls -2.5 $110 to win $100
- Chicago is 6-3 at home this year and Toronto is 4-6 on the road. Toronto has some new players and it may take some time for them to get used to get in sync with their new team.
Spurs -6.5 $165 to win $150
- The Spurs are one of the best teams in the NBA at 18-4 and Utah is one of the worst teams in the NBA at 6-19. The Spurs are on fire right now winning three straight. The Spurs are 4-1 against the spread in their last five road games and 11-3 against the spread in their last 14 games vs. teams with a losing record. Utah is just 3-9 at home.

I had another positive day yesterday going 4-1 for +250. I'm on a four day win streak and plan to keep it going tonight. Here is what I'm going with right now:
Broncos ML -505 $2,020 to win $400
Broncos -3.5 / Over 49.5 7 pt teaser $140 to win $100
- I really don't like laying so much juice on a big favorite but I'm taking the chance tonight. Denver is the best team in football and the good news is the weather isn't bad at all so Manning won't have any external factors to mess his game up. He should be able to pick apart San Diego's 28th ranked pass defense. San Diego isn't much better against the run giving up 117 rush yards per game so Denver should have no trouble moving the ball. Denver has given up a lot of passing yards as well but mostly because they are always winning so the other team needs to pass. Denver is 7-0 at home and San Diego is 3-4 on the road. This is a very important game for Denver to keep the #1 seed. Also, Denver is 5-0-1 against the spread against the NFC West, 5-1 against the spread in their last six games and 7-1 against the spread against a team with a losing record. San Diego is 1-8-1 against the spread following a win.
NFL Prop Rivers over 23 completions -140 $140 to win $100
- San Diego will try to run the ball early but they will have to air it out later when they are down by two touchdowns plus. Rivers should easily get to 23 completions.

Broncos ML -505 $2,020 to win $400
Broncos -3.5 / Over 49.5 7 pt teaser $140 to win $100
- I really don't like laying so much juice on a big favorite but I'm taking the chance tonight. Denver is the best team in football and the good news is the weather isn't bad at all so Manning won't have any external factors to mess his game up. He should be able to pick apart San Diego's 28th ranked pass defense. San Diego isn't much better against the run giving up 117 rush yards per game so Denver should have no trouble moving the ball. Denver has given up a lot of passing yards as well but mostly because they are always winning so the other team needs to pass. Denver is 7-0 at home and San Diego is 3-4 on the road. This is a very important game for Denver to keep the #1 seed. Also, Denver is 5-0-1 against the spread against the NFC West, 5-1 against the spread in their last six games and 7-1 against the spread against a team with a losing record. San Diego is 1-8-1 against the spread following a win.

December 11, 2013 Sports Picks
I had another positive day yesterday. That's three in a row. I was 3-2 for +150. Here is what I'm going with today:
Clippers -5.5 $110 to win $100
- Boston is playing in back to back nights and had to travel. Those situations usually don't work out well. The Clippers had a day of rest and had a short flight from Philly. LA is just way more talented than Boston.
Pelicans -3 $110 to win $100
- New Orleans haven't played since Friday so they will be well rested. Detroit just played last night and have lost their last two games by 15 and 27 points. New Orleans is 6-4 over their last 10 and 5-5 at home.
Warriors -230 $230 to win $100
- Golden State is 6-2 at home and Dallas is 4-7 on the road. Both teams match up pretty evenly so I'll go with the home team to win straight up.
Added:
Kings -300 $150 to win $50
- Both teams aren't' very good but the Kings are slightly better than the Jazz and they are home. Utah is just 1-10 on the road. Sacramento beat Utah by 10 on Saturday in Utah and they beat a good Dallas team at home in their last game last night. Utah also played last night and lost at home against Portland.
Ducks -140 $140 to win $100
- Anaheim has won three straight and they are 11-0 at home. They are 6-1-3 over their last 10. MN is just 5-6 on the road and 5-4-1 over their last 10.

Well I easily won my lone bet yesterday. I had the Bears and the over in a teaser for +200. Pretty easy. Here is what I'm going with tonight:
Pacers -3 $165 to win $150
- Indiana is one of the top teams in the NBA this year and you know they will get up for this game. The Pacers are 9-0 at home this year and the Heat are 7-3 on the road. Dwayne Wade isn't at full strength and even though he is playing tonight he could be limited.
Spurs -7 $165 to win $150
- San Antonio is also one of the best teams in the NBA. The have have rally clicked as a unit and are 7-2 in road games. Toronto is just 3-6 at home and 3-7 over their last 10. To make matters worse, Toronto just made a trade and their new acquisitions won't be playing tonight so they will be short handed.
Thunder -4 $165 to win $150
- Another one of the best teams in the NBA. Just putting my money on the teams that should win. Atlanta is pretty good at home (7-3) but they are just 11-10 on the year. The Thunder are 15-4 on the season and 9-1 over there last 10 so they are playing great ball right now.
Red Wings -110 $165 to win $150
- Detroit just lost to Florida a few days ago and they won't lose two in a row against a poor team.
Detroit is getting Datsyuk back from injury so that should help. Detroit is 10-3 on the road and Florida is just 5-7 at home.
Avalanche -135 $135 to win $100
- Colorado started off very strong but has cooled a bit lately losing 2 of 3 on their recent road trip. But, this team is still 20-8 on the season and 10-4 at home. They recently beat Phoenix on the road. Phoenix is much better at home and are just 7-6 on the road. They haven't played as well of late going 3-4-3 over their last 10.

Well I had a very nice day yesterday going 9-4 for +1,179. I left off a few other bets that I had added late like the Cardinal ML, Broncos 2nd Half -9, and Saints 2nd Half so I had an even better day. That amazing Patriots comeback sure helps. I sure thought that game was over. For tonight I just have one play for now:
Bears +7.5 / Over 41.5 6.5 teaser $260 to win $200
- Chicago isn't as bad as people think. They have a very good offense and are the fifth best scoring team in the NFL. They have a great running back, the two best receiver combo in the game and their QB is a gamer. McCown doesn't make mistakes. He has a 103.6 QB rating and has 9 TDs and 1 INT. The Bears are 4-2 at home including a win against Baltimore in their last home game. The Cowboys are playing good ball but they are just 2-4 on the road and Tony Romo has struggled a bit in November. His QB rating was only 88.4 in November and Dallas historically has struggled in cold weather road games. Both teams have not played good defense and Dallas is the worst team in the NFL in terms of yards given up (421.6).

December 8, 2013 Sports Picks
Yesterday I went 3-4 for -130. Week 14 in in the NFL is really when you need to take a close look at the weather. There will be a lot of snow out there today and some cold weather. I usually side more towards lower scoring games when the weather gets cold. Here are my plays today:
Patriots / Ravens Parlay $400 to win $231
- I have struggled on my two team parlays this year but I couldn't pass up doing it again this week. New England has been clicking on offense since Gronk came back and they have so many weapons. The weather looks fine in Boston so that won't be a factor in the passing game. New England is a perfect 6-0 at home this year. Cleveland is 1-4 on the road and they have lost three straight. Weeden is set up to struggle today. I also think the Ravens will win today. They are 5-1 at home and they need this win badly to keep their playoff hopes alive. MN is 0-5 on the road and they have struggled all year. Peterson ran the best I've seen him run all year last week but he can't win this game by himself.
Patriots / Bengals Parlay $300 to win $180
- I think the Bengals will win this game easily. They went into San Diego last week and won that game plus they are 5-0 at home. Indianapolis just isn't the same without Reggie Wayne and they are the worst 8-4 team I have ever seen. They lost 11-40 at Arizona two weeks ago and 38-8 at home against the Rams four weeks ago. There only wins since Wayne went out were against Houston (by 3) and Tennessee twice.
Saints -3 -110 $220 to win $200
- I love the Saints at home against anyone. They are a perfect 6-0 at home. They should be getting about 7 points for that home field advantage which means the oddsmakers believe Carolina is 4 points better than New Orleans. I think these teams would be even playing on a neutral field so we are getting some value here.
Saints +7 / Falcons +13 / Giants +14 10 pt teaser $200 to win $154
-Green Bay is not very good without Aaron Rodgers and the Falcons are playing better of late. Green Bay hasn't won a game since Rodgers has been out and they got smoked last week 40-10 against the Lions. They shouldn't be favored against anyone. Atlanta is coming off a win against Buffalo where they put up 34 points. I like the Giants to keep the game close at San Diego. The Giants are playing good football and after losing their first 6 games they are now 5-7 on the season. San Diego has lost 5 of their last 6 games.
Eagles -3 -105 $105 to win $100
- Philly is 4-0 over their last 4 games and their QB is playing great ball right now. Foles has 19 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. Detroit is playing well but they are just 3-3 on the road. There is snow in the forecast and they should benefit the Eagles.
Steelers -3 $115 to win $100
- Pittsburgh is touch to beat at home this time of year. They are playing really good football right now and there is snow in the forecast. Both teams are evenly matched but Miami doesn't play well in cold weather and snow so the home field advantage is huge in this game.
Broncos -13 $110 to win $100
- Small bet here as Manning doesn't play well in the cold but the Broncos should easily win this game.
Giants +4 $110 to win $100
- I really like the Giants to win or at least keep this game close. They are hot right now and the Chargers are ice cold.
49ers -3 +105 $150 to win $158
- San Fran has been playing great lately. They have Crabtree back and almost full strength and Seattle isn't as good on the road. This should be a good game but I'll take the home team in this one.
Cardinals +2.5 / Under 48.5 7 pt teaser -140 $200 to win $143
- Arizona is unstoppable at home where they are 5-1. St. Louis is just 2-4 on the road. Both teams play outstanding defense.
** Adding these for Sunday Night
Saints ML -165 $660 to win $400
Saints +3.5 / Over 40.5 6.5 teaser -130 $390 to win $300
- New Orleans is a perfect 6-0 at home this year. They average 33 points and their average margin of victory has been 17 in home games. In road games, Carolina lost to Buffalo and Arizona and they beat MN, Tampa, San Fran (by 1) and Miami (by 4) so they don't play nearly as well on the road. This spread really should be at least 6.5.

Packers under 55 / Eagles under 64 / Saints over 36 10 pt teaser $130 to win $100
- Green Bay hasn't been able to have sucess passing so they will lean on the running game. They will try to milk clock and keep this game low scoring. Plus the temps are very cold in Green Bay. There is snow in the forecast in Philadelphia so 64 points should be hard to obtain and New Orleans always ups up a lot of points at home so that game will easily go over 36.
Broncos -13 $110 to win $100
- Small bet here as Manning doesn't play well in the cold but the Broncos should easily win this game.
Giants +4 $110 to win $100
- I really like the Giants to win or at least keep this game close. They are hot right now and the Chargers are ice cold.

December 7, 2013 Sports Picks
Well I was wrong about Northern Illinois last night. It seems every year they have just one bad game. Last night was their bad game. They had one more game to win to get to a BCS and they choked. Saturday should be an entertaining day. Here are my plays:
Oklahoma St -3.5 / Over 50.5 7 pt teaser $280 to win $200
- Oklahoma lost to Texas and Baylor, while Oklahoma State beat both those teams. Okl St has been very hot lately and they seem pretty unstoppable right now. Both teams have been scoring a lot of points so going over 51 should be no problem in this one.
Baylor -6 / Auburn +11 / Mich St +15 10 pt teaser $260 to win $200
- Baylor has struggled over their last two games but both of those games were on the road. They are still one of the top teams is all of college football and they are home. All they do is score TDs. Auburn vs Missouri should be a great battle and will most likely come down to a game winning field goal so getting 11 points is close to a guarantee. Michigan St is underrated this year and I think they will win against OH St straight up.
Auburn +7.5 / Under 65 6.5 teaser $20 to win $15.40
- I am not sure who will win but Auburn has a really dynamic offense led by their running game. They are on a pretty big high after last week's win but they will be focused on this game as it is extremely important. I'm nervous about doing the under but its safer than the over because both teams like to run the ball and both teams can play good defense.
Duke +29.5 $165 to win $150
- This is an insane spread for being a conference championship. FL St has been blowing everyone out so I can understand the spread but Duke has played well all year and I think they can at least keep this game within four TDs.
AZ St -3 $165 to win $150
- AZ St has been great all year and they are especially good at home. They haven't lost at home yet this year and it seems they are playing their best football right now. They beat a very good UCLA team on the road then completely dominated Arizona last week. Stanford will be a their toughest test but Stanford struggled last week against Notre Dame and they aren't as good on the road.
Mich St +5 $220 to win $200
- Michigan St has played extremely good football all year. They have been winning their games mostly by playing outstanding defense. Michigan St leads the Big Ten is defense (pts given up 11.8, 237 yards, 778 rushing yards). OH State leads the big ten in offense and most importantly rush offense. So this should be an interesting game pitting the #1 rush offense against the #1 rush defense. From my experience, defense usually wins. I'll take the points.
Fresno St -3 $110 to win $100
- Fresno is coming off a disappointing loss last week but they have played great all year and last week was on the road. They are home tonight and Utah St is only 8-4 on the season.

I finally had a positive day yesterday and was 1 pt away from a really good day on my under bet. Overall I went 3-2 for +270. Here are my plays for tonight:
Northern Illinios -210 $630 to win $300
- I actually really enjoy watching the MAC and Northern Ill is fun to watch. Jordan Lynch is one of the most exciting college football players this year. He has a good arm but he is a great runner. He is third in all of college football in rushing yards with 1,755. Bowling Green is on fire right now so I understand the spreads being only 4.5 but N. Ill is on a slightly different level and I fully expect them to win tonight with so much on the line.
Nuggets -5 $165 to win $150
- I'm not sure why but Denver is one of the best teams in the NBA right now. They have a very good cohesive unit and they have played very well on the road of late. They have won 7 out of their last 10. Boston is in more of a rebuilding year. They are just 4-5 at home and 4-6 over their last 10.
Trail Blazers -11.5 $165 to win $150
- Portland is a very good team this year. They are 16-3 on the season and 8-1 at home. They had an impressive win against the Thunder two nights ago and tonight they get to play the lowly Jazz who are just 1-9 on the road.

Sorry for my late post. I've been busy. But I did my research and here is what I'm going with tonight:
Jags +9.5 / under 50 6.5 teaser -130 $390 to win $300
- Jacksonsville has been playing very good football. I can't believe I'm saying that but its true. They beat Houston two weeks ago and beat Cleveland last week, both on the road. They have some confidence now. They've won these games by playing solid defense, especially against the run. Houston gave it everything they had last week and came up short. They will still give it their best effort tonight but they will be a little worn out and their motivation is very weak at this point. Also, Ben Tate is really bad.
Jags +3 EVEN $100 to win $100
Jags under 43.5 $220 to win $200
- I like the under in this game because both teams want to establish the run. Houston has a very good pass defense giving up just 187 yards per game. They aren't very good against the run but Jacksonville is only averaging 70 yards rushing per game. Jacksonville is averaging 14.5 points per game and Houston averages 19 points. Without looking at all the stats, both of these teams have struggled on offense this year and we are likely to see an ugly game tonight. Two weeks ago the total was only 19 points.
Cincinnati +9.5 / Under 56.5 6.5 teaser $260 to win $200
- The Bearcats are hot right now. They have won six straight and had an impressive win last week in Houston. Louisville is good but they have struggled to win by large margins this year. Last week they only won by 7 points against a bad Memphis team. And that was home. I would take Cincy to win but I like getting some extra points. I like the under in this game as well. Both teams can play good defense, Louisville likes to run the ball and even though Cincinnati likes to pass, Louisville is the best against the pass.
Heat -4.5 $110 to win $100
- Going with Miami to bounce back tonight after losing on Tuesday. Chicago has lost two straight.

Jags +9.5 / under 50 6.5 teaser -130 $390 to win $300
- Jacksonsville has been playing very good football. I can't believe I'm saying that but its true. They beat Houston two weeks ago and beat Cleveland last week, both on the road. They have some confidence now. They've won these games by playing solid defense, especially against the run. Houston gave it everything they had last week and came up short. They will still give it their best effort tonight but they will be a little worn out and their motivation is very weak at this point. Also, Ben Tate is really bad.
Jags +3 EVEN $100 to win $100
Jags under 43.5 $220 to win $200
- I like the under in this game because both teams want to establish the run. Houston has a very good pass defense giving up just 187 yards per game.

Just a few plays tonight:
Rockets -10 $110 to win $100
- Houston had a disappointing loss on Monday but they were playing back to back games. They had a day of rest and are home against Phoenix who have not played well of late and are just 4-6 on the road.
Bucks +4.5 $110 to win $100
- Milwaukee has been really bad this year but they are playing Detroit who played last night against Miami and gave it everything they had to win that game. They will be tired and shouldn't be road favorites in this game.
Red Wings -130 $130 to win $100
- Detroit is the better team and are home.

I had a another tough day yesterday going 3-3 for -160. I added two props late (Brees under 290.5 passing yards and L. Moore under 2.5 Rec) so I ended up but it has been frustrating. How does Houston lose to Utah last night? I picked the wrong game at the wrong time with that one. For tonight I'm going with these:
Heat -10.5 $165 to win $150
- Miami is home and they have the ability to blow any team out. Detroit hasn't played as well. They lost by 20 against Chicago a few games ago and lost to the Lakers before winning against Philly. Miami is healthy and ready to dominate tonight. The Heat have won 10 straight and they won't be slowing down tonight.
Nets +4.5 $110 to win $100
- New Jersey has been a major disappointment this year so far but with all their new players it takes time to build that cohesiveness unit. They seem to be playing better and are coming off a nice road win against Memphis on Saturday. They are 4.5 underdogs at home so I just had to take them. Denver has been hot lately winning six straight but they are just 4-4 on the road this year so I'll take a chance with the more talented team at home.
Thunder -6.5 $110 to win $100
- Oklahoma City is one of the top teams in the NBA. They have won 7 straight and have beat some pretty good teams during that streak including Denver, LAC, San Antonio, Golden State and MN. Tonight they have an easy matchup against the lowly Kings. Sacramento used to play well at home but this year they are just 3-7 at home and have lost four straight.
GS Warriors -7.5 $165 to win $150
- The Warriors play very well at home and are 5-2 in those games. They struggled on their recent road trip and over their last 10 games but they seem to be over those struggles now and are well rested and ready to dominate the Toronto Raptors tonight. Toronto has lost three straight and have to travel a long way to play a late game.
Blackhawks -240 $240 to win $100
- Chicago is the best team in the NHL and they are 9-1 at home. They have won six straight and will be well rested after getting two days off. They just beat Dallas on Friday in Dallas and the Stars have lost two straight.

December 2, 2013 Sports Picks
Yesterday I went 4-5 for -394. I'm really struggling to put a winning streak together. Here are my picks for tonight:
Seahawks -6 $110 to win $100
Seahawks -260 $780 to win $300
- Seattle is extremely good at home. They are a perfect 5-0 at home. New Orleans is very good at home but they have struggled on the road. They are 3-2 on the road but they barely got by Tampa earlier this year in a game Tampa should have won. They also just barely got by Atlanta last week on the road. The crowd noise will be a major factor and Brees has gotten rattled on the road. Seattle will be playing without two of their starters in the secondary so their line will need to put pressure on Brees so he doesn't have time to throw. I think that will happen. Seattle should have no trouble moving the ball against an improved Saints defense. I love Seattle's running game and they have some very good wideouts.
Saints +12.5 / Over 41.5 6.5 teaser $200 to win $154
- Even though I think Seattle will win I am taking this teaser as sort of a hedge. The Saints should be able to keep this game close because they are one of the best teams in football and I think we see some points scored so the over is looking good.
Seahawks / Saints over 48 $110 to win $100
- I'm taking the over because both teams have very good offenses and its Monday Night. Both teams average 28 points per game.
NO Pelicans +7.5 $110 to win $100
- Chicago isn't as good without Rose and New Orleans is pretty good this year. They've won their last two road games. Chicago recently lost to Utah and Cleveland.
Rockets -350 $350 to win $100
- Houston is clicking on all cylinders right now. They have Harden back and are coming off a very impressive road victory over San Antonio. Utah is terrible this year.

December 1, 2013 Sports Picks
I have another up and down day yesterday going7-8 for -312. I'm on a bit of a losing streak but feel I can turn in around today. Here are my plays:
Browns / Patriots Parlay -166 $500 to win $302
- Cleveland is home and the weather will favor them today. They have struggled but they still have a very good defense, a good run game, and a very good receiver. The Jags have won two straight road games but were against two really bad teams. Cleveland needs to win this game if they have any shot at the playoffs. New England has put it all together and are clicking on offense. The Texans have completely given up and are one of the worst teams in football.
Bucs +7.5 $165 to win $150
- Tampa has looked very good over their last three games and their defense and quarterback play has helped them win three straight. Carolina is still one of the hottest teams in football but they struggled a bit last week and should have lost to Miami.
Vikings $100 to win $100
- I like the Vikings at home today. They play well at home and the Bears are not as good on the road or especially in dome stadiums. As long as Adrian plays the Vikings should have a good shot to win.
Eagles -3 -115 $172.50 to win $150
- Arizona has played well this year but they are definitely not has good on the road. Philadelphia is coming off a bye and have won three straight prior to their bye so they should be ready for this game.
Patriots -2 / Miami +7.5 6 pt teaser $200 to win $166
- I love New England to win easily today over the crappy Texans. I also think Miami has put things back together and should keep their game close against a really bad Jets team. The Dolphins play very good defense which should limit the scoring opportunities of the Jets.
Rams +8 $165 to win $150
- St. Louis is one of the hottest teams in football right now. They dominated both Indianapolis and Chicago over there last two games. My only concern is this will be an outdoor game and St. Louis doesn't play as well outdoors. San Fran had a nice win last week but prior to that they lost to Carolina and New Orleans. I think this game stays close. No way can I even pick San Fran to win straight up.
- San Diego is playing very good football right now. They beat Kansas City in KC last weekend and this is a very important game for them if they want to make the playoffs. The Chargers are solid at home. The Bengals are just 2-4 on the road and this will be tough game for them in that environment.
Added for the night game:
Redskins +7.5 / Over 39.5 6.5 teaser $390 to win $300
- Both teams have been really bad this year. Eli turns the ball over a ton and Washington doesn't play good defense. I like the Redskins because they are home and have a very good running offense and other playmakers on offense. I think they can keep this game close.
Redskins / Giants over 46 $220 to win $200
- I'm loving the over in this game. The Giants love to throw the ball and they have been running better since Brown came back. The Redskins have a very good offense and a really bad defense.

Broncos -240 $480 to win $200
- I think Kansas City is good but they are not as good as their 9-2 record is. There defense played very poor last week at home against San Diego where they gave up 41 points. Denver easily beat them two weeks ago in Denver. The Broncos are coming off a very tough loss but I think they get pissed off from that loss and take it out on the Chiefs today. Broncos 35-24.
Chargers -1 $110 to win $100- I think Kansas City is good but they are not as good as their 9-2 record is.
