12-09-21 | Wild -139 v. Sharks | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURSDAY NIGHT NHL ICE PICK is on the Minnesota Wild The Sharks in our mind have been getting some fortunate results of late but don't figure to maintain their success on the power play or goals allowed. Tonight, they face a Minnesota Wild (18-6-1) team that is solid top-to-bottom and rocks the second best goal differential in the West and fourth overall in the league. The Wild are third in scoring, 8-4-1 on the road, and 8-1-1 L10. Minnesota has won seven straight by a 29-11 with wins over Tampa Bay, Toronto, and Edmonton. Minnesota rolls on here. |

12-09-21 | Monmouth v. St. John's -9 | 83-88 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 32 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the St John Red Storm Nothing negative to say about Monmouth which has won seven straight since an opening two-point loss to Charlotte but the Hawks have really played nobody. The 6-2 Johnnies on the other hand have lost to Indiana (76-74) and have had one bad game at Kansas. No shame there. St John's can really fill it up on the offensive end and play pretty good defense as the Big East goes as well. Red Storm depth is the difference here, St John's 88-73. |

12-08-21 | Magic v. Kings -6.5 | 130-142 | Win | 100 | 22 h 9 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Sacramento Kings The Magic are a league worst 5-20 overall, 3-12 on the road, 1-9 L10 overall. This is team that has been completely blown up with a ton of work to do. They were just waxed by 31 at Golden State. The Kings have started to come around a bit since firing Luke Walton and have to be as confident as they've been all year after a home and home sweep of the Clippers in their most recent. The Kings making moves has demonstrated their resolve and urgency and this is a team with playoff aspirations at the start of the season. To make the playoffs in the ultra-competitive Western Conference, winning games like these are a must. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Stars v. Golden Knights -135 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 22 h 12 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDNESDAY NHL ICE PICK is on the Las Vegas Golden Knights The Golden Knights are slowly but surely getting healthy after playing more than a month with 38% of their salary cap on the injured list. VGK has weathered the storm for the most part going 14-10 at a couple of games shy of the one-third mark of the season. Dallas is a heady 9-1 L10 but that's after a long home stand, the Stars are just 4-5-1 on the road. Dallas is an excellent defensive team with very good goaltending that makes up for their lack of offense. A couple of early goals and Lehner holding the fort should translate to a VGK win. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Hofstra -3.5 v. Stony Brook | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLLEGE HOOPS MID-MAJOR MAGIC winner is on the Hofstra Pride Stony Brook is a middle of the pack America East team but the Seawolves 25 point home loss to a recently Covid ravaged Wagner outfit pretty much tells the story. Hofstra is 5-4 but their losses have come in OT to a ranked Houston Cougar outfit, Richmond, Iona, and a two-point loss to Maryland. The Flying Dutchmen have handled their own kind somewhat handily and despite being on the road, figure to be at least 10 points better than Stony Brook. |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Ducks -125 v. Sabres | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 19 h 25 m | Show | |
DMACK'S TUESDAY NIGHT NHL ICE PICK is on the Anaheim Ducks Gonna follow the same winning formula that we've used the last few days playing a small road favorite against a mightily struggling homie. The Ducks have surprised to this point and sit in third in the Pacific Division. Primarily, they've been great on home ice and have gotten excellent goaltending but they've also played .500 on the road which is exactly what you need to do to make the playoffs. Buffalo is fading fast and has lost four straight. The Sabres play hard to their credit but are overwhelmed by superior talent on most nights much like they'll be here. Take Anaheim. |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Fairleigh Dickinson v. La Salle -10 | 55-81 | Win | 100 | 19 h 34 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY FOR TUESDAY is on the La Salle Explorers Not really sure where this line cam from but on face it looks quite a bit short. Neither team is anything special but 0-7 FDU is just outright awful with losses by 44 to Seton Hall, 36 to Northwestern and possibly their best effort of the year was a 12 point loss at St Johns. Las Salle has their two Big Five losses to Villanova and Temple but have dispatched this type with relative ease. Lets call this La Salle 74 FDU 56. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Patriots +3 v. Bills | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC WINNER is on the New England Patriots The Bills have struggled since waxing Kansas City, just before their bye. Since their bye, the Buffalo offense has struggled getting going, averaging just 8.6 first half points as opposed to 19 first half ppg. prior to the bye. The Bills have only played three games decided by less than 15 points. The Pats are really rolling now, they've won six straight, the last four by a 130-27 aggregate. The better defense was predictable given their Covid opt-outs but the offense is also hitting on cylinders as Mac Jones has progressed as a game manager/QB. Like three things about New England ..... they're rushing the ball for 144 per in their L6 games, they're +16 in turnovers (Bills with 11 giveaways last four games), and the Pats have a whopping 40 plays of +20yards in their last eight games. New England 23-20. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Avalanche -150 v. Flyers | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Colorado Avalanche The Flyers are are is complete freefall at 2-7-1 in L10 and losers of six straight. They were just smoked by a short-handed Tampa Bay team 7-1 on their home ice and tonight they face a Colorado Avalanche team that is just starting to hit it's stride (7-2-1 L10) after a slow start after a heavy turnover in the off season. Colorado has struggled at best on the road but has shown signs and gets thrown a softball here which could be a big confidence builder moving forward. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Hornets v. Hawks -4 | 130-127 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUNDAY NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the ATLANTA HAWKS The Hawks are off to a disappointing 12-11 start and it centers around the poor play on the road. That said, they've been excellent at home at 8-3, even with a 98-96 loss the the 76ers on Friday night. Today they face a Hornets outfit that struggled mightily on the road themselves and will now be without the services of several players including LaMelo Ball who are all out with Covid protocol issues. The Hawks have some minor nics themselves but nothing that should cause anyone of significance to miss any games. Atlanta 107-96. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Lightning -135 v. Flyers | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUNDAY NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING The Lightning are playing great despite some minor health issues. The Bolts are 7-2-1 L10 and 6-2-2 on the road this year after playing a heavily front loaded home schedule. The Flyers are in crash and burn mode after seven straight losses and falling like a stone after a fast start. The depth of the Lightning and their current excellent form make this an easy and confident call. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | 49ers -167 v. Seahawks | 23-30 | Loss | -167 | 71 h 6 m | Show | |
DMACK's NFL NFC GAME OF THE MONTH winner is on the San Francisco 49ers These are two teams headed in opposite direction and despite the Seahawks recent dominance in the series, we're backing a 49er outfit on the move. Seattle has done very little, even after the return of Russ and are basically playing out the string after just 11 games. San Fran in a somewhat tough three roadies in four games stretch but the defense has been playing great, the offense has been running the football, and Jimmy G has not been turning the ball over ... a tough combination to beat. In their L3 games, the Seahawks have 3 TDs in 29 drives, have been outyarded 1177-741 and the Hawks are 0-7 when they don't score 28+ points. They're not scoring 28 points today. Moneyline mitigates and damage if the 49er offense fails to fire. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Chargers v. Bengals -3 | 41-22 | Loss | -108 | 68 h 37 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NFL WEEK 13 CONFERENCE GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Cincinnati Bengals The Chargers problem is on defense where they cant stop the run and are very weak in the red zone. The Bolts have allowed an average of 31 ppg. in their L7, not good against a Bengal team that has scored 31+ in five of their last six and who have won two games by a 73-23 aggregate since coming off their bye. The Bengals don't need to do anything fancy here. Give the ball to Joe Mixon, run the ball, run the clock, keep the defense fresh against Justin Herbert. Cincinnati 31-21. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Chargers v. Bengals OVER 50 | 41-22 | Win | 100 | 67 h 28 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NFL WEEK 13 TOTAL OF THE WEEK winner is San Diego/Cinn OVER The Charger are allowing an average of 31.3 ppg. over their L7 and are completely useless (last) in stopping the run. In fact, the Bolts are giving up better than 145 yards per game on the ground, 10+ yards more than the next WORST team against the run in the league. The Bengals have scored 31 points or more in five of their last six games and have scored 32 and 41 points coming off their bye. The Chargers are Vikingesque in playing close games so .... looking for the Bengals to do most of the heavy lifting and the Chargers hanging around. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Jon Hill v. Jim Crute -170 | 1-0 | Loss | -170 | 16 h 35 m | Show | |
DMACK'S UFC VEGAS 44 POWER PACK winner is on JImmy Crute Jimmy "The Brute" Crute is very tough Australian brawler whose only losses have come against much more experienced veterans that he's been paired with on his way up the ranking ladder. He's rag dolled his other opponents including Paul Craig who handed Crute's opponent tonight, Jamahal Hill, his first loss back in June. Hill is the taller man and a striker with superiors reach. He'll have a puncher's chance but in the end it's Crute with an early stoppage. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Mickey Gall v. Alex Morono -244 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 19 m | Show | |
DMACK'S UFC VEGAS 44 POWER PACK winner is on Alex Morono Alex Morono isso much more than the unknown at upset Donald Cerrone and Mickey Gall is not much more than the guy that choked out C.M. Punk years ago. Morono is a relentless workout guy with a well rounded game. He's an excellent striker and has a very good BJJ game as well. Gall is a guy with limited talent who was in the right place at the right time and has nowhere to go from here. Probably to a smaller promotion. The number is pretty much a horse out of the barn but this is the best bet on today's MMA card. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Penguins -135 v. Canucks | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SATURDAY NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Pittsburgh Penguins Vancouver is in complete freefall and at this point might very well be one of the worst team outside of Arizona in the Western Conference. There numbers and points confirm it. The Canucks are 3-6-1 on home ice as they catch up from an early front loaded road schedule and 3-7 in their L10 overall. The Penguins have done much better than tread water as they wait to get healthy. The Pens have actually played better on the road and have a tailor made opponent here that doesn't play much defense. This line is more than fair and we'll be riding Pittsburgh today. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Wake Forest v. Pittsburgh -3 | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 92 h 14 m | Show | |
DMACK'S ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SUPER PLAY winner is on the Pittsburgh Panthers Both teams are 10-2 vs. a similar strength of schedule but the difference here is the Panther defense. It's 28th against the run and 91st overall. The overall number is even somewhat deceiving in that a lot of the passing came late in the game by teams down big to Pitt. Wake has done same good things but in the end they are 208th against the run, 119th against the pass, and 181st overall. The Deac numbers against the pass is low because their opponents do so well running the football. This will be a shootout but Pitt has the edge is significant ways Pitt 44-31. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | William Knight v. Alonzo Menifield -150 | 1-0 | Loss | -150 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
DMACK'S UFC VEGAS 44 POWER PACK winner is on Alonzo Menifield This is a battle of two real physical specimens and this could be legalized violence in a battle of two power strikers. That said, Menifield is the more experienced fighter who has been in with better and should be able to tie Knight up and neutralize the best of Knight's striking. A good gameplan and executed in a smart way gets Alonzo Menifield's hand raised. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Houston +10.5 v. Cincinnati | 20-35 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 24 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK GAME OF THE YEAR winner is on the Houston Cougars Cincinnati is 12-0 and 8-0 in the AAC. Houston is 11-1 and 8-0 in the AAC. The Cougars lost to Texas Teach in their opener and have run the the table since. Houston has a prolific offense and a big time defense that is 28th overall in Division I football. The Coog stop unit is good against the run (33rd) and strong (66th) against the pass as well. The Bearcats problem here is that they can run on and that is certain to be a big part of the Houston gameplan. This is a game that will likely come down to the last possession. Grab the points and sprinkle in some money line too. Houston 33 Cincinnati 28. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Baylor +5.5 v. Oklahoma State | 21-16 | Win | 100 | 84 h 17 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SUPER PLAY winner is on the Baylor Bears This is a rematch of an October 2nd game won by Oklahoma State 24-14 in Stillwater. The Bears have improved greatly since that game, rolling through everyone except for an inexplicable 30-28 blip at TCU. The Cowboys cam from 10 down in the fourth to beat Oklahoma to get here but much like Cincinnati have won more time than not unimpressively against teams they should have waxed. Baylor runs the ball for 225 per and will play defense on offense by limiting Cowboys time of possession. Baylor straight up. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Oilers -125 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRIDAY NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Edmonton Oilers The line made us do a double take as the Kraken are just 4-5-1 in their L10 and have given up more goals than anyone in the Western Conference other than the Arizona Coyotes. Went through Edmonton pages with a fine tooth comb and other than a nic to Duncan Keith, the Oilers will be at close to 100%. The teams have met once, back on November 1st and Edmonton won 5-2 in a routine home ice affair. The Oilers are 7-4 on enemy ice this year, 7-3 L10 and the offense hasn't missed a beat. Look for the transmission of the Oiler offense, McDavid and Draisaitl to both have big games here in another routine Edmonton win. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Magic v. Rockets -2.5 | 116-118 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA Play of the Day is on the Houston Rockets The Magic are 5-18 and just 3-10 on the road. The Rockets are 5-16 but have won four straight but that includes a home-and-home sweep of a horrific OKC team. Still prefer the Rockets here on their home floor. Top player Chris Woods is listed as probable despite ankle problems and Houston is just a better team 1-8 with six players averaging double-digits and eight players averaging 8+ ppg. The Magic have their moments but they're 23rd in the league in offense and 28th on defense so it's probably going to be a long year in Disney World. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Western Kentucky -3 v. UTSA | 41-49 | Loss | -116 | 25 h 48 m | Show | |
DMACK FRI CUSA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SUPER PLAY winner is on Western Kentucky The USTA Roadrunners saw their perfect season ended last week and now meet Western Kentucky in a rematch of a USTA 52-46 shootout win in October. Western Kentucky has clearly improved during the course of the season (winning all seven games since) while the Roadrunners are showing signs of having peaked early and have started to tail off. The Hilltoppers dropped 670 yards of offense on USTA the first time around and a similar effort here wins the CUSA Championship Western Kentucky 49-41. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Flames -145 v. Kings | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURSDAY NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Calgary Flames The Kings got off to a fast start but have carried it as far as they could have finally hit the wall. They've alreay dropped to sixth place in a Pacific Division that is wide open and rip to be taken. The Flames are making up for a brutal 2020-21 and have Darryl Sutter cracking the whip start to finish. The Flames are doing their best work on enemy ice at 9-2-2, had three days off, and really have no excuses here against a team that is really struggling to score. Lay it with the Flames. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Spurs v. Blazers -150 | 114-83 | Loss | -150 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is the Portland Trailblazers on the Money Line The Spurs are just not very good. 6-13 overall and 2-7 on the road. They are also 0-3 in division and 1-10 vs. the Western Conference. Damian Lillard is out 10 days with abdominal strain but the Blazers have no excuses here. Portland with the ultimate home road dichotomy, 10-1 at home, and a nasty 1-10 on the road. Tonight, they're a bit short handed by still have enough to handles a Spurs team with nowhere to go but down. Taking the money line here rather lay the -3 just to cover bases and only asking Portland to win without Lillard. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Lipscomb +13.5 v. Belmont | 65-94 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL DOG BITE OF THE WEEK winner is the Lipscomb Bison This looks like a ridiculous amount of points to give the Lipscomb Bisons who are the best shooting three point team in the country. They live and die by the three but already own a 20 point win at Dayton, a team that has already won at Belmont and Kansas this year. Both teams are what they are .... 20 win mid-majors out the Atlantic Sun and Ohio Valley. Just can't imagine this game falling double-digits in any scenario. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Michigan -1.5 v. North Carolina | 51-72 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
DMACK'S ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE SUPER PLAY winner is on the Michigan Wolverines North Carolina has not been a top a program in several years now and it's still a work in progress now and for the immediate future. The 4-2 Heels have played two legit opponents and got smoked by Purdue and Tennessee. You could say almost the same for Michigan but the Wolverines are supremely talented and likely just off to a slow start. Michigan has a pretty good run of upcoming opponents including San Diego State, Minnesota, and Central Florida and would be well served to get off to a good start here. The line move reflects the better team and we're still basically asking the Wolverines to win. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Red Wings +101 | 3-4 | Win | 101 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Detroit Red Wings Both teams are on something of a form spree with the Kraken having won four of five including the last two on the road. The Wings have won three straight but more importantly for us, Detroit is 7-2-2 at home and have proven super tough, even against "elite" teams. Both teams are hungry developing works in progress but the wrong team is favored here and we'll take the Wings act close to pick'em. Games like these demonstrate the value of having several outs. Shop around. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Wolves v. Wizards -3.5 | 107-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Washington Wizards Both teams are on the improve, the Wolves winners of four of five with the key being that the loss was their only road game during that run, at Charlotte. The Wizards have been money on their home floor (7-2) and have played their best against teams like Minnesota. The T-Wolves are also battling a couple of minor injuries and "illness" with starters Anthony Edwards and Patrick Beverly gametime decisions. Washington 122-110. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Ducks +115 v. Kings | 5-4 | Win | 115 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Anaheim Ducks The Ducks have lost four of five but have just faced a gauntlet of killers that included Carolina, Toronto, at Colorado, and at Nashville. Their one "break" was Ottawa and they won 4-0. Tonight they get the Kings who don't score and get outstanding goaltending. In the end, the Lings are just a 50-50 proposition on home ice and the Ducks are the better team, a young team that fares better against it's own kind. Take Anaheim. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Northwestern v. Wake Forest | 73-77 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
DMACK's ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE SUPER PLAY (LATE) is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Both team have similar M.O.s, a bunch of tune up wins against tomato cans and one loss in their only game versus an opponent with a pulse. That said, prefer the home team here in a pick'em affair. The Deacs are off their first loss of the year vs. a pretty good LSU team and have had three days to stew and pull themselves together. Northwestern will be much improved from last year but they've really just gone on the road once and got beat by seven at Providence. This is a nice spot for Wake and Steve Forbes to start a Wake resurgence in the ACC. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Minnesota -2 v. Pittsburgh | 54-53 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
DMACK's ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE SUPER PLAY (EARLY)) winner is on the Minnesota Golden Gophers It's going to be a long long year for Pitt who is arguably the worst team in the Power Five conferences. The Panthers are in a complete rebuild and just don't have much talent. They have even less scoring currently ranking No.325 of 354 Div I teams. Minnesota is 5-0 as it starts life without Richard Pitino. Ben Johnson is a young energy guy that has hit team playing hard and playing very good defense. Wouldn't be shocked to see this in the 72-55 range for the Golden Gophers. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Blazers v. Jazz -7 | 107-129 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Utah Jazz Portland is 10-10, 9-1 at home and 1-9 on the road. Portland hasn't kept their end of the bargain to surround Damian Lillard with help and it shows. Expect Portland to blow it all up before the trade deadline. Not sure what to think of 13-7 Utah except that they are loaded yet haven't shown up to play every night. They have played well vs. their division (3-0) and in conference (8-2) so I'll give them a pass. Don't see Utah NOT getting up for Portland and if they're on, win this easily by 14-18 points. Take Portland. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Stanford v. Colorado -5.5 | 76-80 | Loss | -106 | 16 h 4 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLLEGE HOOPS 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Colorado Buffalos The Buffs are not bad and will be tough to beat in their Pac 12 home games. 5-1 Colorado's only loss was too a decent Southern Illinois team, and the Buffs have wins over New Mexico, Brown, and Duquense, and are looking for more here. Stanford's basketball team is showing all the heart of Stanford fiootball which is scary in itself. The Tree has played two games versus teams with pulses and they lost by 18 to Santa Clara and 38 to Baylor. Colorado rolls. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Vikings v. 49ers OVER 49 | 26-34 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
DMACK NFL WEEK 12 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on Vikes/49ers OVER Expecting a shootout today at Levy Stadium between two offense that are starting to hit on all cylinders. The Vikings are off their must win at Green Bay that saw Cousins throw for 341 and 3 TDs. Minnesota is the only team in the NFL to lead a game by at least seven points in every game. All four of their road games this year have gone over. The 49er have rushed for 327 yards the last two games, have converted 14 of their L26 chances on third down and just 1-5 straight up when they score LESS than 30 points. See these two trading points all game and flying over the posted total. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Brown +1.5 v. Quinnipiac | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLLEGE HOOPS 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Brown Bears The Ivy League didn't play last but have returned as a whole as a real player in mid-major hoops, especially ATS. Quinnipiac is 3-2 but the standout game on their resume at this point came in their last game, a 16-point loss to New Hampshire. Brown is 4-4 but has played everyone tough including a win at Bradley and a two-point loss to Colorado. The Bears are part of an overachieving Ivy League and are still flying under the radar. Grab them getting points in a game they should be favored in by six. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Warriors -2.5 v. Clippers | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Golden State Warriors Golden State is 17-2 and has won six straight and is yet to field it's entire team with basically two starters (Klay Thompson, James Wiseman) yet to [play this year. The last Golden State loss was the second of back-to-backs that Steph Curry sat out for minute management. The Warriors have been destroyers with a point differential of +13.6 points per game. The Clippers have done well to go 11-8 as they try to hold the fort down until Kawhi returns, sometime in the second half. In the meantime, Paul George and an army of wing players shoot the Clippers to wins a bit better than 50% of the time but not good enough here against the Warriors Golden State 118-107. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Steelers +4 v. Bengals | 10-41 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NFL WEEK 12 GAME OF THE WEEK winner is on the Pittsburgh Steelers Things just seem to be coming together for Steelers, somewhat like a Week 12 perfect storm. Big Ben's success in Ohio is somewhat legendary, 11-2-1 in Cleveland and 15-2 in Cincinnati .... Roethlisberger is 26-4-1 straight up in games started in Ohio, good for 88.2%. The defense is starting to get healthy for the first time in a while with TJ Watt, Minka Fitzpatrick, and CB Joe Haden all now available after several weeks hurt. The Bengals are headed in the right direction but have had trouble stringing any kind of success together going 2-8 ATS L10 off a straight up win and 5-10 L10 as a home favorite. An absolutely huge game for both teams in the ultra-competitive AFC North, the four points to an almost complete Steeler team playing well is just to much to ignore. Pittsburgh avenges a 24-10 Week III Bengal win at Heinz Field with a 26-20 win at Paul Brown Stadium today. |

11-28-21 | Panthers v. Dolphins +2.5 | 10-33 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
DMACK NFL WEEK 12 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on Miami Dolphins Easy to grab points with the Dolphins who have won three straight, playing great defense, are at home, and playing a team that is anything but an offensive juggernaut itself. Over their current three game win streak, the Fish have allowed just 36 total points, three opponent touchdowns in 36 drives. Carolina is 2-6 L8 after a 3-0 start and are 0-6 when they score 14 or less points themselves. Tua is gradually getting healthy and the Dolphin offense is responding with more production. Miami is quietly 21-12-3 ATS in it's L36 home games and eke out a 21-17 type of win here. |

11-28-21 | Eagles -3.5 v. Giants | 7-13 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
DMACK NFL WEEK 12 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on Philadelphia Eagles The Giants return home and are on a short week after getting blown out at Tampa Bay on Monday night. Big Blue scored 10 points with their touchdown coming on an eight-yard drive thanks to great starting position after an interception of a tipped Brady pass. The Giants are a train wreck that fired their offensive coordinator Jason Garrett this week, are 3-6 ATS in L6 NFC East home games, and 6-16 overall in their L22 as a home dog. The surging Eagles are now in the wildcard hunt and have run the ball for at least 217 yards in four straight games, impressive regardless of who you are. In this current four game run, the Eagles have outscored their opponents 74-24 in the first half and fully expect a fast start today at the Meadowlands in wire-to-wire Eagle double-digit win. |

11-28-21 | Fordham -8 v. Central Connecticut State | 89-83 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLLEGE HOOPS 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Fordham Rams Central Connecticut is 1-5 that includes a 24-poing loss to UMass-Lowell. Fordham is as Jeckyl and Hyde as they come, losing to Maryland Eastern Shore in OT and crushing a pretty good Akron team by 20 and then rolling to a double-digit win over Rice. It's going to be a long year for CCS and it will be on full display here in a 16-20 point loss this mediocre Fordham outfit. |

11-27-21 | California v. UCLA -6.5 | 14-42 | Win | 100 | 19 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack's 3-Game Rivalry Week Power Pack winner is on the UCLA Bruins Just an absolutely terrible spot for Cal which plays in it's third straight road game. Cal was 0-4 on the road until clubbing a Stanford team that has quit on David Shaw in a big way. UCLA has to be sky high after dropping 66 on USC last week. The Bruins can't catch Utah but are playing for a pretty good bowl game and possible Chip Kelly who is unsigned for next year. Wouldn't be shocked if UCLA drops a 50 burger on the Bears who simply can't keep up. UCLA 48-26. |

11-27-21 | Notre Dame -20 v. Stanford | 45-14 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
DMACK's WEEK 13 CAN OF WHUP ASS winner is on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish It's almost inconceivable to say that a team has quit on David Shaw but that is most certainly the case here with Stanford. The Tree has lost six straight, the last three by 45-21-30. Notre Dame still has an outside shot to sneak in the back door of the playoffs but the Irish will need plenty of help and a big win with style points here. The Irish are Independents so they're done and this is what everyone on the committee will remember. Notre Dame 51-7. |

11-27-21 | Hornets -6 v. Rockets | 143-146 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday NBA Play of the Day is on the Charlotte Hornets We used the Hornets last night and they easily blew out the T-Wolves. Not the greates of spots in second of back-to-back but still believe the Hornets are undervalued. They face a 2-16 Rocket outfit that is getting outscored by better than 10 ppg. and still a work in progress. Charlotte is only 6-6 on the road but really seemed to have turned the corner and these are the type of games they have to win if they're going to be a factor in the playoffs. The Hornets have too much offense for the Rockets. Charlotte 122-101. |

11-27-21 | Oklahoma v. Oklahoma State -4 | 33-37 | Push | 0 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
DMACK'S RIVALRY WEEK GAME OF THE YEAR winner is on the Oklahoma State Cowboys This is the 116th meeting between these two with the Sooners leading by an astounding 90-18-7 and on a run of six straight win. Different team this year. The Sooners have underachieved the entire season and switched QB halfway. Oklahoma has really struggled on offense and in their last two games they a 3 for 19 on third down. The Cowboys have had a great season and strangely enough the Cowboy defense is ranked No.2 in the nation. The Cowboys will not have many chances to be favored at home (last win and cover was 1998) in this rivalry with a spot in the Big 12 championship on the line. We're gonna see the best of Okie State here. Oklahoma State 31-23 |

11-27-21 | Canadiens v. Penguins -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Pittsburgh Penguins on the Puck Line The Penguins suffered a myriad of injuries early but have managed to hold the fort and are now getting healthy and have won five straight. The Pens haven't got the big snipers back yet but have played solid defense and have gotten excellent goaltending. Montreal is 1-9-1 on the road and statistically, nobody in the NHL scores less than the Habs. During the Pens current five game win streak, they're allowed just two total goals with three shutouts. Pittsburgh on the Puck Line for the Price. |

11-27-21 | Marshall v. Indiana -10.5 | 79-90 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Indiana Hoosiers Indiana is 5-0 with a win over St Johns and Marshall is 4-1 with a loss to Campbell which tells you where these two teams are. The Hoosiers aren't as loaded as they've been in recent editions but they're still plenty talented and new HC Mike Woodson is the perfect person to hold things together and teach. The teams have two common opponents in this round robin tournament that the Hoosiers have handled with much more authority. No problem laying double-digits with Indiana here. |

11-27-21 | Arizona v. Arizona State -20 | 15-38 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
DMack's 3-Game Rivalry Week Power Pack winner is on the Arizona Wildcats Arizona State was supposed to challenge for the Pac 12 title. The Sun Devils have had a decent season at 7-4 but in the grand scheme of things they've under performed. Still, this is a rivalry games and ASU's final home game this year so there are a ton of reasons to beat on Arizona. The Wildcats only win is versus Cal, when the Bears were in a middle of a Covid outbreak that left them 30 short for a road game. This could be it for HC Herm Edwards ... he can name the score and will likely go high. Arizona State 37-13. |

DMack's 3-Game Rivalry Week Power Pack winner is on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers The Hilltoppers are raging on six straight wins. Today's matchup with Marshall will determine the CUSA Eastern Division champion who will meet the unbeaten UTSA Roadrunners in the CUSA championship game. Western Kentucky has win six straight and their only conference loss was to USTA is a 52-46 shootout early on. Marshal is you average one-game above .500 Group of Five team and nothing more. Western Kentucky has no excuses here. |

11-27-21 | Akron +28.5 v. Toledo | 14-49 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 13 DOG BITE winner is the Akron Zips Toledo has been one of the biggest disappoints in college football this year. The Rockets returned 20 starters (10/10) including six first-team All-MAC player and the Rockets were only able to manage a 6-5 season. Akron is just 2-9 this year but the Zips play hard for 60 minutes every game and better times are coming. The Zips do their best work on the road getting big points and are 3-0 in that scenario this year. Akron will do some business against the Rocket defense. Other than Auburn and Ohio State, the Zips have been competitive against everyone and should stay within four touchdowns here. Toledo 45-31. |

11-26-21 | Wolves v. Hornets -1.5 | 115-133 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Charlotte Hornets Both team are playing well. The Wolves got off to a slow start but have clawed back to .500 off a run of five straight wins. That said, Minnesota has feasted on bottom feeders like the Spurs, Pelicans, and Kings and hits the road to make up games off an early home game loaded start. Charlotte is just the opposite. 12-8, 6-6 on the road and 6-2 at home where they've been very tough to beat. The Hornets have won four of five with the loss at Atlanta ... no shame there. LaMelo is playing great and the No.4 ranked offense in the NBA features four players averaging between 16.7 and 20.3 ppg. Balance, a little defense, and a decent shooting night will get Charlotte the win here. |

11-26-21 | Canucks v. Blue Jackets -138 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
DMACK'S NHL GAME OF THE MONTH is on the Columbus Blue Jackets The Vancouver Canucks are watching their season circle the drain. They're 3-6-1 on the road and 2-7-1 in their L10. They one point ahead of the last place expansion Kraken in a weak Pacific Division and Seattle has a game in hand. The Jackets are one of the surprise teams in the NHL and will only get better. Two years ago they blew it all up and have drafted very well and made some excellent free agent pick ups to hold it together. They're 7-3 on home ice and they have two excellent young goaltenders that keep them in games every night. Tons better team on home ice, a great line that should be at least 30-40 cents higher, and better goaltending. This one checks all the boxes and is our NHL Game of the Month. |

DMACK'S FRI NCAAF 3-GAME POWER PACK WINNER is on the Utah Utes Colorado has had an up and down year that is easy to break down. They are up playing at home and rock bottom while playing on the road. Utah is fresh off their win over Oregon but that win is worthless without a win here. The Utes have bigger fish to fry but need to win here to get Pac12 championship game spot and get either the Rose or Holiday Bowl to ease some pain. |

11-26-21 | Iowa +1 v. Nebraska | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRI NCAAF 3-GAME POWER PACK WINNER is on the Iowa Hawkeyes We get it that Nebraska is better than their 3-8 record but in the end, you are what your record says you are. The Husker lose by single digits but so what ??? They lose. That's all we need with the Hawkeyes getting points. The Tiger Hawk has won three straight and always ends the year strong under Ferentz. Iowa has strong defense and a running attack that keeps opposing offenses off the field. Iowa 23-17. |

11-26-21 | Kansas State +3 v. Texas | 17-22 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRI NCAAF 3-GAME POWER PACK WINNER is on Kansas State Texas is 0-6 SU and 0-6 ATS in their L6 and has absolutely quit. Sarkisian will be getting rid of all the dead wood but that won't help him here. The Longhorns are giving up 41 ppg. during this collapse and have nothing to deal with surging Wildcats who are 4-1 SU and ATS L5. Texas pummeled K State last year 69-31 but the Cats are 10-3 ATS L13 in the series. Not often you get a chance a chance to spank a program like this so you better do it any time you can. Kansas State straight up. |

DMACK'S THURSDAY COLLEGE HOOPS PLAY OF THE DAY is on the San Francisco Dons The 6-0 Dons are very good. They smashed four tomato cans and have nice wins against Nevada and Davidson. Towson hasn't don anything wrong and at 3-2, has a similar to San Francisco but instead of beating their two opponents with a pulse, they lost to Monmouth and a bad Pitt team. San Francisco is big, physical, athletic, and deep and has shown no compunction to go easy on teams that can't compete. San Fran 83-59. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Ole Miss +2.5 v. Mississippi State | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 17 h 43 m | Show | |
DMACK'S OLE MISS/MISS ST EGG BOWL SUPER PLAY winner is on the Ole Miss Rebels The Rebels have won six of seven with the loss to Alabama and have rolled to at least 464 yards of total offense in all seven games. Miss Sate has four losses and three of them are by three or less points so this is going to be a street fight. That said, the Reb bend but don't break defense has given up yards but no so much points. The Dog has covered six of eight in the series and Ole Miss has covered three straight on this field. Ole Miss 37-23. |

11-25-21 | Raiders v. Cowboys -7.5 | 36-33 | Loss | -102 | 14 h 38 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURS TURKEY SHOOT SUPER PLAY WINNER is on the Dallas Cowboys The Raiders have lost three straight, being outscored 59-17 in the second half of those games. Las Vegas is headed into the teeth of another second half fold. That's not Jon Gruden or the interim staff, that just what the Raiders do and have done for the last 15 years. Gonna give the Cowboys a mulligan on their game versus the Chiefs. They'll be plenty salty here and will try to look impressive in front of their fans in their one home game in five weeks. Dallas by 14. |

11-24-21 | Maple Leafs -155 v. Kings | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Toronto Maple Leafs These are two teams headed in opposite directions. The Leafs are 8-2 in their L10 and the offense has returned from MIA since Auston Mathews returned to the lineup which will be much needed here against the excellent King's goaltending. Los Angeles got off to a fast start but has come back to the field and have lost four straight scoring just seven goals. Toronto has been playing good defense itself allowing just three goals over their last three games. Take Toronto. |

11-24-21 | Baylor -12 v. Arizona State | 75-63 | Push | 0 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDS NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Baylor Bears Baylor has opened their defense of last year's national championship is fine fashion. The Bears are 4-0 with wins of 45-38-28-29-27, the 45 point win against Stanford. Baylor is athletic, talented, and play great defense ... just like last year's championship outfit. Arizona State is 2-2 but three points short of being unbeaten. The Sun Devils lost to UC Riverside on a 65-foot shot at the buzzer and a two-point loss in overtime to a very good San Diego State. At face, the number looks a bit high but the reality is that Arizona State is a middle of the road Pac12 team that might hang around for a half but in the end, are overwhelmed the this better and deeper Baylor team. |

11-24-21 | Lakers v. Pacers -3.5 | 124-116 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Indiana Pacers The Lakers are in a tough spot, the second game of a back-to-back, and a third game in four nights. Lebron returns tonight which will help but face a surging Pacer outfit that has won two straight and is 5-2 on their home floor. The Pacers will have a big edge in the paint with Myles and Sabonis and with even a decent shooting night by the wings, Indiana should win by double-digits. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Gonzaga -5.5 v. UCLA | 83-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 10 m | Show | |
DMACK'S GONZAGA/UCLA ONE vs. TWO SUPER PLAY winner is on Gonzaga The Zags are 5-0 and have smoked four tomato cans and beat No.4 Texas by 12 in their only game versus a team with a pulse. This is a rematch of the 93-90 Gonzaga win in OT in last years Final Four semifinal. UCLA is 4-0 and hasn't been threatened owning an OT win over Villanova. The Zags have had an M.O of crushing non-conference opponents early then getting stale after rolling through their conference play and finding way to lose in the Big Dance. Think Temme will have a big night here and the bigger Zags control the boards in a 15 point win. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Buffalo v. Ball State -6.5 | 3-20 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
DMACK'S TUES BIG MAC winner is on the Ball State Cardinals Ball State has been a disappointment this year at 5-6 and this is the Cards Super Bowl. Remember, that Ball State returned 20 starters, 10 on offense, 10 on defense, and 97 returning starts on the offensive line. Tonight they face a Buffalo outfit that has allowed 200+ rushing years in eight of their 10 games and are allowing an average of 44.7 ppg. in their L3. The Bulls are 2-5 in the MAC and all five losses are more than the points that they'll be getting here. Ball State comes through in a big way, lets call it 49-31. |

11-22-21 | Hurricanes -148 v. Sharks | 1-2 | Loss | -148 | 21 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Carolina Hurricanes San Jose was a surprise to start the season but have come back to the pack and have lost four of five including a DMack winning 4-0 whitewash from the Washington Caps on Saturday. Carolina is the best team in hockey at 14-2 with both losses coming to the second best team in the East Florida Panthers. The Canes are young, talented, and deep and with anything close to their normal effort .... get the money here. |

11-22-21 | Suns -5.5 v. Spurs | 115-111 | Loss | -108 | 19 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Phoenix Suns The Spurs are 2-4 at home, 2-7 on the road and 4-11 overall in the Greg Popovich farewell tour. Pure and simple, the Spurs are not very good. The Sun have won 12 straight with a point differential of +7.2 and just don't seem to be getting much respect while being overshadowed by the resurgence of Golden State. Did a mention that San Antonio is 1-9 vs. the Western Conference ??? Phoenix 113-96. |

11-22-21 | Akron -9.5 v. Fordham | 43-63 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack's College Basketball First Blood is on the Akron Zips The Zips are a pretty coop team that should be unbeaten. They lost to Ohio State 67-66 in a game they led by four with six second left they blew out two small school tomato cans by 56 and 61 points. The perpetually rebuilding Fordham Rams are 2-2 with losses to Manhattan and in two OT's to Maryland-Eastern Shore neither of which is Gonzaga or UCLA. Akron was a preseason co-favorite to win the MAC and will have a lot to say in the winner. They are athletic, experienced, and can shoot. Zips by 20. |

11-21-21 | Cardinals v. Seahawks UNDER 48 | 23-13 | Win | 100 | 61 h 32 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL WEEK 11 TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the Seahawks/Cards Under Russell Wilson is back and the Seahawks were promptly shut out at Green Bay, going scoreless for the first time since 2011. The Seahawks had just 208 yards of total offense last week and four of their last five games have gone under the total. Arizona has been hit with a rash of injuries and Kyler Murray will be less than 100% IF HE PLAYS. DeAndre Hopkins is also out. The Cardinals are 5th in the NFL against the pass, 5th in total defense. Seattle's defense was on course to set records as the worst ever. but in the last three games they've allowed 17-7-13 points. Thinking this game has 20-17, 24-10, 23-14 written all over it. Play the under. |

11-21-21 | Bengals v. Raiders | 32-13 | Win | 100 | 60 h 14 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NFL GAME OF THE WEEK winner is on the Cincinnati Bengals Both teams have been showing signs of hitting the wall. The Bengals are off two straight losses prior to last week's bye week. The Raiders were throttled at home by Kansas City Chiefs who threw for 422 yards after being toothless on offense for the prior month. The Bengals have scored 31 points or more in three of their last four games and should do a lot of business against a weak Raider back seven. The Raiders have lost two straight, outscored in the second half 37-10. With the extra week to prepare against the Las Vegas interim staff, give a big edge to the Bengals. Cincinnati 37-20. |

11-21-21 | 49ers -6 v. Jaguars | 30-10 | Win | 100 | 106 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the San Francisco 49ers The Jags are 2-2 in their L4 games after losing 20 straight. One of those wins was a 9-6 slobberknocker with Buffalo. The Jags has scored just three touchdowns in their L31 drives. San Francisco is not in the greatest spot, coming West to East on a short week. Three of the 49ers four wins have come on the road (Lions, Eagles, Bears) exactly against this type. The Jags already have five double-digit losses so spotting a touchdown is not unreasonable here. Take the 49ers. |

11-21-21 | Packers -2.5 v. Vikings | 31-34 | Loss | -105 | 106 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Green Bay Packers The Vikings will be desperate as they little margin for error from here on out if they have hopes of reaching the post-season. That said, they been on the wrong side of a lot of close games as eight of their nine have been decided by seven points or less. Perhaps most telling, the Vikes have been outscored 77-19 in the final two minutes of each half. Who's better at running the two minute drill than Aaron Rodgers ??? In the last two games, the Packers have have allowed one touchdown in 19 drives. Statistically, Cousins has been good but not that good. Take Green Bay. |

11-21-21 | Dolphins -3 v. Jets | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 106 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Miami Dolphins Joe Flacco takes the helm for the Jets this week. He played for the Jets last year and was shut out in his start against the Fish. In fact, Miami is 6-1 SU and 6-0-1 ATS L7 in the series and beat the Flyboys twice last year by a 44-3 aggregate. The Jets have allowed 54-31-45-45 in their L4 games, the second highest four game total since the NFL merger. Miami gets the money here. |

11-20-21 | Capitals -120 v. Sharks | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack Sat 3-Game NHL Power Pack winner is on the Washington Caps The Sharks are one of the early surprises in the league but may have hit the wall after a fast start. San Jose is .500 but headed down with a bullet. Washington is playing great and would have the lead in the race for the President's Trophy if not for five OT/SO losses. The Caps have only two regulation losses and are missing several key cogs in the offense which hasn't missed a beat. Caps improve 5-1-2 road slate with a win here. |

11-20-21 | Miesha Tate +101 v. Ketlen Vieira | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 67 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack UFC Power Pack winner is on Miesha Tate Easy to see how this one goes. Vieira is a big tough girl and a quality striker. If she wins, it will be by KO inside of two rounds. Miesha Tate in the second fight of her comeback after a five-year lay off looked ultra impressive in her return fight which she won by a third round knockout. Miesha has alsways had an engine and excellent cardio and was the beneficiary of going most of three rounds versus a solid opponent in her return. Looking for Tate to survive the Ketlen early blitzkrieg and win a decision or late stoppage. |

11-20-21 | Blues +102 v. Stars | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack Sat 3-Game NHL Power Pack winner is on the St Louis Blues Dallas is not much but have managed to hover around .500 despite an anemic offense and below average defense. The Stars are 3-5-2 in their L10 and it doesn't figure to improve here. The Blues have cooled of some but they've played a heavy road schedule of late and still rock a +12 goal differential and will have have the better goaltending tonight. Blues win. |

11-20-21 | Michael Chiesa +138 v. Sean Brady | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 66 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack UFC Power Pack winner is on Michael Chiesa Great matchup with veteran TUF champion Michael Chiesa taking on unbeaten prospect Sean Brady. Wrong favorite here. Chiesa is a much more experienced and well rounded fighter with just so many more ways to win. He'll also enjoy a four inch height advantage and a three inch reach advantage. For Chiesa, who is off a loss to highly ranked Vincente Luque, a win here will either keep him relevant in the division or a gatekeeper moving forward. Like Chiesa. |

11-20-21 | Heat -1 v. Wizards | 100-103 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
DMACK's NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Miami Heat Washington's stay at the top of the Eastern Conference was short lived as the Wiz have dropped two straight and the league may be figuring this team out. The new Laker contingent that came over in the Russell Westbrook trade has been great but can only carry you so far. Miami is just 5-4 on the road but those losses were at Clippers, at Bulls, at Boston, and in OT at Indiana. They have a win against the Jazz in enemy territory and hand the Wizards their second home loss here. Miami 108-100. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Predators -127 v. Canadiens | 3-6 | Loss | -127 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack Sat 3-Game NHL Power Pack winner is on the Nashville Predators The Preds have recovered from a slow start to go 7-2-1 in their L10 and have been doing their best work on the road. Montreal has never recovered from its slow start and watches its season circle the drain before they've even played 20 games. Habs -29 goal differential is glaring and with the Preds getting excellent play between the pipes, it won't take Nashville much to get it done here. |

11-20-21 | California -1.5 v. Stanford | 41-11 | Win | 100 | 17 h 6 m | Show | |
DMACK NCAAF 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Cal Bears It's hard to believe that Stanford has lost five straight since upsetting Oregon. This is a team that has quit on Shaw and really has no reason to play other than it's "The Game" rivalry. Cal had won two straight and appeared to be getting back on track before half the team was hit by Covid. The Bears have had two weeks to recover and prepare for this game. If Cal is halfway right and it appears that they are, they'll have no excuse in this important rivalry game against a team that has quit and lost it's last two teams by 21 and 45 points. |

11-20-21 | Kyung Ho Kang -114 v. Rani Yahya | 0-1 | Loss | -114 | 65 h 3 m | Show | |
DMack UFC Power Pack winner is on Kyung Ho Kang Yahya is a grappler, Kang a striker but in this particular case, Kang also brings in a solid takedown defense that will neutralize the best part of Yahya's game. Kang also with a reach advantage can take his time, stand back, a pick the smaller fighter apart without suffering any damage himself. Kang gets the call. |

DMack UFC Power Pack winner is on Pat Sabatini Two grapplers that both looked great at the weigh-in and face off. Lutz is solid but is there is anyone who can deal with the Lutz pressure, it's Pat Sabatini. A very evenly matched fight which is reflected in the near pick'em odds, Sabatini holds the slight edge with an equally dangerous Brazilian Jiu Jitzu game that could ultimately lead to a submission. Sabatini gets the duke. |

11-20-21 | Baylor +1.5 v. Kansas State | 20-10 | Win | 100 | 16 h 50 m | Show | |
DMACK NCAAF 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Baylor Bears Kansas State's strongest unit is their defensive line that has been extremely successful rushing the quarterback. Today they face an offensive line that allowed eight sacks all year. Baylor has dominated the series of late and on a current 7-2 ATS run. Talking heads are expecting the Bears to be flat off their win over Oklahoma but this team is well coached and made of better stuff. |

11-20-21 | Ryan Garcia -112 v. Natan Levy | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 18 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack UFC Power Pack winner is on Rafa Garcia Garcia won his first 11 fights before stepping way up in class and dropping unanimous decisions to Nasrat Haqparast and Chris Greutzemacher. Much like in horse racing, Garcia drops to his level to meet Israeli Natan Levy who is 6-0 coming out of the contender series and making his UFC debut. Levy is another straight up and down fighter who might have trouble dealing with the more savvy Garcia here. Like Garcia by stoppage. |

11-20-21 | Qileng Aori v. Cody Durden -150 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 62 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack UFC Power Pack winner is on Cody Durden Aori is the bigger man but what we really mean is taller because at 125 pounds, how much bigger can you be. Durden may not be physically imposing but he's an elite grappler with who will dominate Aori on the mat. Aori, a striker, will be handcuffed trying to stay on his feet. Durden by decision in match that figure to be 10-12 minutes on the mat. |

11-20-21 | Nebraska v. Wisconsin -8 | 28-35 | Loss | -114 | 36 h 51 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BIG TEN COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR winner is on the Wisconsin Huskies After a slow start, the Wisconsin Badgers have won six straight to take control on the Big Ten West. A win here and then next week at Minnesota will put the Badgers in a spot to get trounced by the winner of the East and then go to the Rose Bowl or Holiday Bowl. The Huskers are playing out the string and have had their moments but just don't match up well here against the big, physical, punishing Wisconsin line play. Wisconsin 37-19. |

11-20-21 | Washington v. Colorado +7 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show | |
DMACK NCAAF 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Colorado Buffalos Colorado has had a tough year but they've been rock solid in Boulder going 3-2 with a win over Oregon State and a 10-7 loss to Texas A&M. It's the Buffs final home game so they'll want to send their seniors off with a win, especially with at Utah on deck. Washington fired its coach this week and has a date vs. Washington State in The Apple Cup next next week. The Huskies could possibly get bowl eligible with a win but .... why ??? Colorado 24-13. |

11-20-21 | UMass v. Army -35.5 | Top | 17-33 | Loss | -111 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
DMACK's COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAN OF WHUP ASS is on the Army Cadets Army is going to win but by how much ??? The Cadets are off a 63-10 win (-51) over Bucknell and have shown no compunction about crushing bottom feeders in the past. UMass has lost four straight SU and ATS and the Minutemen are giving up 224 per on the ground at a whopping 5.7 per carry. That's not a recipe for success against Army who will want to send their seniors off in style as they play their final game at West Point. |

11-19-21 | Arizona v. Washington State -14.5 | 18-44 | Win | 100 | 22 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday College Football Bankroll Builder is in the Washington State Cougars Arizona would be winless except for a 10-3 over a Covid decimated Cal outfit. Arizona appears to have played better against Utah but the Utes were in a look ahead spot to Oregon this week and were more than happy to get out with a win and healthy. Wazzou has played well for interim Jake Dickert who took over after Nick Rolovich was fired for refusing to be vaccinated. The Coogs need to win here to get bowl eligible and a win here and in a very winable Apple Cup showdown with Washington could have Dickert coaching for this job. Washington State 33-10. |

11-19-21 | Warriors -9.5 v. Pistons | 105-102 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRIDAY NBA PLAY OF THE DAY winner is the Golden State Warriors The Pistons are a hot mess again this year, out of the gate 4-10, 2-5 at home, 2-5 on the road, with a -9.3 point differential. The No.1 pick in this year's NBA Draft, Cade Cunningham, was hurt early on and has been decent in his nine games but is not a franchise changer by any means. Golden State has just rolled the their first 15 games, now 13-2 with a whopping +13.7 point differential. The Warrior barely broke a sweat in crushing Cleveland last night with no one of significance playing any minutes of serious consequence in the front end of this back-to-back. Barring a brutal shooting night from the Wubs, Golden State can name their margin and easily cover this near double-digit impost. Take Golden State. |

11-18-21 | Blue Jackets -150 v. Coyotes | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 6 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURS NHL PLY OF THE DAY is on the Columbus Blue Jackets The Coyotes are 2-13-1 and have scored just 26 goals. True, the Desert Dogs have played a road heavy schedule in the first half but any home ice advantage is negligible if any the team is a lame duck as they play their final season in that venue. Columbus has been a surprise to this point with a good young roster of players they've accumulated after blowing things up a couple of years ago. The Jackets also have the better goaltending and with a couple of scores, they'll be tough to beat here. |

11-18-21 | Clippers -1 v. Grizzlies | 108-120 | Loss | -103 | 17 h 28 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the L.A. Clippers The Clippers are starting to come around after a slow start, going 8-2 in their L10, and at 9-5, keeping things alive for the return of Kawhi Leonard in the second half. The Clippers have only played four road games, a loss at Golden State and three double-digit wins. Memphis is a 50-50 proposition pretty much across the board at 7-7 but still rock a -3.6 point differential in their 14 games. JA Morant is great but tonight he's overwhelmed by the Clippers seemingly unlimited supply of sharpshooting wing players. Clippers 113-103. |

11-17-21 | Bulls +2.5 v. Blazers | 107-112 | Loss | -104 | 21 h 46 m | Show | |
DMACK's NBA 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Chicago Bulls The Blazers are 7-8 albeit 6-1 at home but the reality is that Blazers are not good and will come back to the pack, even at the Rose Center. Very impressed with the relentless Bulls. Bringing in Billy Donovan as HC and DeMar DeRozan run the show was genius and the role players have been outstanding, particularly Alex Caruso who seems to do something big every game. Chicago 108-103. |

11-17-21 | Mavs v. Suns -5.5 | 98-105 | Win | 100 | 21 h 44 m | Show | |
DMACK's NBA 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Phoenix Suns The Suns have won nine straight, most in dominating fashion. Phoenix has a +7.2 point differential and have a Mavs team that will likely be without Luka Doncic and his bum ankle. If you want to see how to build a team, look at the Suns. Just two players play 30 minutes, nine play 17+ minutes. They are are plug-ins that get plenty of touches all contribute. Rumors of Sun demise off 1-3 start were VERY premature. Suns 116-104. |

11-17-21 | Blackhawks v. Seattle Kraken -135 | 4-2 | Loss | -135 | 21 h 46 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY of the Day is on the Seattle Kraken The Blackhawks have won three straight but at the end of the day, Chicago is 0-5-1 on the road and face a Kraken outfit that has been ok (3-4) at home. Seattle is no VGK but will figure out their road problems later in the year. Seattle can score had should do some business against the worst defensive team in the league. Kraken cherish every Year I win against an in turmoil Blackhawk outfit. Kraken 4-3. |

11-17-21 | Pelicans v. Heat -9.5 | 98-113 | Win | 100 | 18 h 12 m | Show | |
DMACK's NBA 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Miami Heat The Pelican may have already played themselves out of the playoffs by starting 2-13 in the first 15 games in the super tough Western Conference. Help is on the way with Zion cleared to practice but the Pelicans are 1-7 on the road and face a killer here in the Heat. Miami is making up for last year's lost season with a fast start here including a 4-1 home record and an overall +7.2 point differential. NOLA plays hard and may stay in it for a half but in the end, Miami extends late t o come away with a comfortable 13-15 point win. |

11-16-21 | Spurs v. Clippers -6.5 | 92-106 | Win | 100 | 21 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Clippers The Clippers saw their seven game win streak snapped by the Bulls in their last .... no shame there. They don't face anyway near that tough here in the Spurs who are 2-5 on the road and just 1-7 against the Western Conference. Thinking that Pop should have taken a page form the Belichick playbook and got out a year to soon. It's going to be a long long yer in San Antonio. Clippers by 15. |

11-16-21 | Hurricanes -119 v. Golden Knights | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 20 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Carolina Hurricanes The Golden Knights are 8-2 L10 despite missing almost 35% of their 81 million dollar salary cap to injuries. Mark Stone is back at about 70% but this team is primarily 50% the AHL Henderson Silver Knights and that won't cut it here against the best team in hockey. The Canes bounced back from home loss to the Flyers with a solid win over St Louis and have had plenty of time to prepare for game two of this six game Pacific Division West Coast swing. Carolina gets to Lehner early and often to win this comfortably. |

11-15-21 | Bulls +1.5 v. Lakers | 121-103 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Chicago Bulls The Bulls are 9-4 and it doesn't seem to matter where ... they're 5-2 at home and 4-2 on the road with decent wins at Toronto and Boston. The Lakers are 8-6 but have played 11 of their first 14 games at home. They start a 5-game Midwest trip after this game. Both teams have been dealing with injuries but the Bulls have played surprisingly well under Billy Donovan and their solid "next man up mentality". In the end, the Bulls, are younger, deeper, and better 1-10 on the roster. Chicago straight up. |
