12-19-21 | Cowboys -10.5 v. Giants | Top | 21-6 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Cowboys have been dealing with their own covid situation lately but they have still been winning games with a weaker team and now they have been getting healthier each week and should have most of their weapons on the offensive side back in this game. They have won their previous 2 games by 7+ points but they were blowing teams out weeks ago when they were playing very well and I expect that to start getting back to that as they start their playoff run while getting a lot of starters back. The Giants have looked terrible on offense in their games lately. They have scored 20+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games but they haven't really done anything great since firing their OC Jason Garrett a few weeks ago. Obviously that was not the issue with this offense and I think they are going to continue to struggle in this game with Mike Glennon as their QB. Glennon has a losing record as a starter in the NFL. I think this is a get right spot for the Cowboys here, they can pretty much wrap up their division with a win here and I expect them to dominate the Giants for 60 minutes here. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. |

12-18-21 | Oregon State v. Utah State +7.5 | Top | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State. I like Utah State to cover the spread against Oregon State in this game on Saturday. Utah State is getting around 7 points in this game and they finished the year off with a much better record than Oregon State did at 10-3 and they are a conference champion after beating San Diego State in the MWC title game. Other than 1 slip up against Wyoming, Utah State looked really good in their final games of the year and they were winning their games by large margins. They won the conference championship game alone by 30+ points, putting up 46 points on the San Diego State defense that was really good all year long. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and all 5 of those wins were by 20+ points. Utah State has been having a great year on both offense and defense. Oregon State has been very up and down this year though. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but have lost 3 of their previous 5 games and their defense has looked bad in all of those games whether they won or lost. They didn't give up more than 15+ points in their previous 2 wins but they have given up 20+ points in most of their wins this year. They have lost 5 games this year and they have given up 30+ points in all of those games. Oregon State does not have a good defense and I think that is going to be a huge problem here with the way that Utah State has looked on offense. I think Utah State is going to keep scoring in this game and run up the score on Oregon State to the point where they won't be able to come back. I think Utah State is better and has a good chance at winning this game with all of the momentum they have from their conference championship. I like Utah State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Utah State. |

12-16-21 | Knicks -6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Thursday. The Knicks have lost 4 games in a row and I think they are going to bounce back big in this game. They haven't been winning games lately but they have looked a lot better on the court ever since taking Kemba Walker out of the rotation. They haven't let an opposing team score 113+ points in 3 games in a row but 2 of those games they did not give up more than 105 points. Thibodeaux has this team moving in the right direction preaching the defense to his players so I expect their defensive efforts to keep getting better and better in every game. The Rockets have looked really bad in most of their games this year, they only have 9 wins and 7 of those wins all came in a row on a big win streak they went on. They have started to look bad in their games again lately and have only won 1 game in their previous 4. The Rockets are also missing a lot of starters in this game and even if Gordon and Wood end up playing, it is not going to be enough to beat the Knicks here when they won't even be at 100%. The Rockets just lost their most recent game to the Cavaliers by 30+ points and they didn't even get to 90 points in that game. I think the Knicks are going to play great defense in this game and ensure that they break out of their bad run with a big win against the Rockets who are 1 of the worst teams in the league already and are missing key players here. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 107-92 Knicks. |

12-15-21 | Portland +17.5 v. Oregon | Top | 71-96 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland. I like Portland to cover the spread against Oregon in this game on Wednesday. Portland has looked good in their games this year with an 8-3 start to the year. A lot of their wins this year have been close games but their has been a few that they won by 10+ points too. They have only lost 3 games all year and they did not even look terrible in those losses. Their biggest loss was by 16 points to Arizona State in their 1st game of the year but things translate over fully in that first game and they have gotten a lot better since that loss. They have lost 2 games since then and those were both losses by single digits. Their defense hasn't looked great but their offense is scoring in their games and has been keeping up with whatever team has been in front of them. Oregon was supposed to have a very promising year this year but that has turned into a disaster as they have 5 losses through 10 games already. They started great winning 3/4 games to start the year but they have lost 4/6 in their most recent games and haven't looked good in any of those games but 1. Their 1 impressive win was over Montana by 40 points but their other win was an unimpressive 6 point win over UC Riverside on their own home court and then they had 2 losses by 10+ points and 2 closer losses against other conference teams. Oregon has looked bad all year and they are playing bad in a lot of their games. Oregon is not going to win this game by double digits with the way they have been playing so I like Portland to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 66-62 Oregon. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Blazers v. Warriors -14 | Top | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Portland Trail Blazers in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors have been the best team in the league this year and they have looked really good in their games and that's without Klay Thompson returning yet. They have worked their way into 1st place in the league with the best record and they have been destroying the teams standing in their way. Going back to their most recent 6 wins, they won all of those games by 15+ points including the Suns when they were on their 18 game win streak, and the Trail Blazers a few weeks ago with Damien Lillard and CJ McCollum in the lineup. Lillard and McCollum are both going to be out for this game so the only difference is now they are missing their 2 best players. I think those 2 losses are going to make a big impact in this game, the Warriors were able to beat them with their best players last time and now those players will be missing which I think makes this way easier for the Warriors to cover here. The Trail Blazers have lost 3 games in a row at home without Lillard in any of those games and their closest game was a 12 point loss to the Clippers. They even lost the other 2 games by 25+ points and McCollum was playing in both. Now they have to go on the road after those home losses and I don't think the Trail Blazers are going to be able to dent the Warriors in this game. I think the Warriors are too strong for them and playing too well. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 115-92 Warriors. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Giants v. Dolphins -6 | Top | 9-20 | Win | 100 | 21 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins. I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Dolphins have been surging lately and have looked really good in their games ripping off 4 wins in a row. They aren't just winning close games either, all 4 of those wins have been by 7+ points. They aren't just beating up on bad teams either, they have beaten the Ravens who lead the AFC and the Panthers who have a great defense. They have put up 20+ points in their previous 3 games and they just put up 33 points on that great defense that the Panthers have just last week. Tua is playing great at the moment and I think that he is going to continue to play great in this game too. The Giants have looked better in their games lately but their offense still doesn't look good and their defense has to keep them in their games. Daniel Jones is making bad decisions on the field and the offense won't be able to run efficiently unless he is at his best. They haven't even put up 14+ points in their previous 2 games. I think that the Dolphins are playing a lot better at the moment and their offense actually looks good in their games. The Giants have been winning some games lately but not with good offensive efforts and they are just barely hanging in those games with their defense and scraping by. I think that the Dolphins are much better and they are going to run away with this game against the Giants. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Dolphins. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Alabama v. Gonzaga -9 | Top | 91-82 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread against Alabama in this game on Saturday. Gonzaga just won their previous game by 9 points against Tarleton State but I think that they still have to be boiling over their loss to Duke in their game before that one against Tarleton. They lost to Duke by 3 points but they still played very well in that game and they have looked really good all year. That loss dropped them to 3rd in the country while Duke took over 1st place and then went and lost to Ohio State after that. I think that Gonzaga is boiling over that loss and I think that they are looking to destroy all ranked teams and take back their spot at the top. Gonzaga has already beaten a few ranked teams this year and they were by double digits in both games. They beat a top 10 Texas team by 12 points and they also beat a top 5 UCLA team by 20 points and they were 2nd in the country at the time of that loss to Gonzaga. I think Gonzaga is still by far the best team in the country no matter what the rankings say. Gonzaga has beaten many opposing teams by 20+ points and by double digits this year, including ranked teams, and I expect this game to be no different for them. Alabama has looked okay in their games this year but they have also had a much easier schedule than Gonzaga has and Alabama hasn't even faced a ranked team all year before this game. I think Gonzaga is still the best team and I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 85-65 Gonzaga. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Kent State v. Northern Illinois +3.5 | Top | 23-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Saturday. Northern Illinois looked really good all year and they finished with the best record in the MAC this year. They lost their most recent game to Western Michigan but I think that they were looking ahead to this game and will be ready to play Kent State here. Northern Illinois lost to Kent State at the beginning of November and it was a close game, Northern Illinois losing it by 5 points 52-47. I think that Northern Illinois is going to be looking for their revenge against Kent State here and I expect them to play hard since this is the title game too. Kent State has looked a bit shaky in their games lately. They barely won their previous game against Miami Ohio winning that game by 1 point in OT. They had to win that game to get into this one too so they put a lot of effort into that game and I think that Northern Illinois has been focused on this game for twice the amount of time that Kent State has been. Northern Illinois was dominating conference teams all year and every little thing went their way this year in their games since there were quite a few games that they just barely won by 3 points or less. I think it is Northern Illinois' year and I think that they are good enough to win this game and the title. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Northern Illinois. |

11-28-21 | Eagles -3.5 v. Giants | Top | 7-13 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles. I like the Philadelphia Eagles to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Eagles have started to look really good lately. They have won 3 of their previous 4 games and they have been scoring a ton of points while doing so. They have put up 30+ points in their previous 3 wins and they have been a team that can score a lot of points all year. The Eagles have only scored less than 20 points in 1 game this year and that was back in week 2. Now they look a lot better and Hurts has a lot more experience playing and running the offense than he did back at the beginning of the year. The Giants have looked really bad lately and I think the Eagles are going to put up a ton of points on them in this game. The Giants just gave up 30 points to the Buccaneers and only put up 10 points themselves in their previous game and the offense looked like it did not know what was going on. Daniel Jones was missing throws in that game, ignoring or not seeing wide open players downfield, and the receivers themselves were dropping the ball and weren't always running the right routes in that game. They just fired their OC Jason Garrett but he is not the problem with this offense and I don't think it is going to make much of a difference for them who is calling the plays in this game when the players can't execute them. I think the Eagles are better and will be able to move the ball much better than the Giants can on offense. I like the Eagles to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-16 Eagles. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Wizards -7.5 v. Thunder | Top | 101-99 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington Wizards. I like the Washington Wizards to cover the spread against the OKC Thunder in this game on Friday. The Wizards were holding down the 1st place spot in the East just over a week ago but they have gone on a bad run lately and have dropped to 4th place in the East after getting just 1 win in their previous 5 games. They just lost to the Pelicans by 20+ points right before Thanksgiving and that one had to sting since the Pels are 1 of the worst team in the league. I think they are going to bounce back from that bad loss in this game and drown the Thunder in buckets. The Thunder have not looked good at all this year, they have lost 4 games in a row and have just 1 win in their previous 7 games. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been their only bright spot this year and he is injured at the moment and questionable to play this game. Even if he does play in the game, he won't be 100% and once the Wizards take him out of the game with their defense then it will be all over for the Thunder and any chance they had to do damage in this game. I think the Wizards are going to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-96 Wizards. |

11-26-21 | Iowa +1 v. Nebraska | Top | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Friday. Iowa has been having a great year with just 2 losses, they haven't looked the best in all of their games this year but they are still a very talented team. Their only losses of the year were to Purdue right after they played a very emotional game against Penn State just barely getting that win, and to Wisconsin right after that who looks to be on their way to the Big 10 title game. Their offense has looked really good in their previous 2 games, they put up 27 points and 33 points and their running game was very good too. Nebraska has not been having the year that they planned to with only 3 wins this year. They have lost 5 games in a row and they were all close games that they had a chance to win in. They were unable to win any of them though and I think that this team just has a problem playing a full 60 minutes and finishing their games off. I also think they have fallen short so many times because they are good but just not good enough. Iowa has a really good defense and their offense has looked really good too lately. I think Iowa should be the favorite here, they are just the better team. I like Iowa to cover the spread and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Iowa. |

11-25-21 | Raiders v. Cowboys -7.5 | Top | 36-33 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Thursday. The Cowboys didn't look good in their loss to the Chiefs last week but that is just 1 bad game among a ton of good ones that they have played in this year. The week before that they beat down on the Falcons 43-3 so I think this is still a very strong offense and team that just had a bad game in their previous 1. The Cowboys will still be missing a few key players on offense due to injuries and covid but I still think they have enough talent with who they have playing to lay a beating on the Raiders. The Raiders have lost 3 games in a row now and their offense hasn't been able to do anything in those games, putting up no more than 16 points in any of those games. They played as well as they could with all of the outside distractions going on but I think that Derek Carr and the team has taken about enough pressure that they can handle and I think that they are going to start cracking under the pressure as a team and fall of the map as the season goes on. The Cowboys will be looking for a bounce back game after a loss to the Chiefs and went better way to bounce back than getting a huge win at home on Thanksgiving for all the fans. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Cowboys. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Gonzaga -5.5 v. UCLA | Top | 83-63 | Win | 100 | 19 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Tuesday. Gonzaga is the best team in the country by a lot and I think that they are going to prove it in this game when they destroy UCLA. Gonzaga has been scoring a lot of points this year with 80+ points in all of their games. They have given up less than 60 points in most of their games this year and have only given up 70+ points on 1 occasion and it was against a ranked team. UCLA has not been playing good defense this year giving up 60+ points in most of their games, even giving up almost 80 points to Long Beach State. I think Gonzaga plays better defense and will be able to shut down UCLA when they have possession. UCLA only put up 75 points in their previous game too, and I think that they will not be able to match the Gonzaga offense playing like that. They also have a common opponents in their 1st few games. Both teams have played Bellarmine already, UCLA won by 13 points and Gonzaga won by 42. Gonzaga is just a much better team and I think that they are going to show why they are the best in the country when they destroy UCLA here. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-72 Gonzaga. |

11-21-21 | Packers -1 v. Vikings | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -102 | 46 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Sunday. The Packers have shown that they are going to be a major force in the NFC this year. Their offense has looked great when Aaron Rodgers has been under center for them. Their defense has started to look really good in their games lately too. They have given up 10+ points just 1 time in their previous 4 games. The Vikings are probably feeling good after a win against the Chargers in their previous game but this season has not been going their way this year. They have been up and down in their games and have also been on the wrong end of a few bad beats. Despite everything that has happened to them in their games this year, I still think that they are just a mediocre team that is finding ways to get by and stay above water barely. The Packers have better quality players on their team and they are a Super Bowl caliber team. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Packers. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Michigan State +19.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 7-56 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Ohio State in this game on Saturday. Michigan State has looked really good all year, they only have 1 loss this year against Purdue but that loss came right after a big game against Michigan where they won so that game against Purdue was a let down spot for them. They bounced back from that performance last week when they beat Maryland by 19 points. There is no doubt that they have been looking forward to this game all year. Ohio State is ranked in the top 4 at the moment but a loss in this game could destroy their playoff hopes altogether and I think Michigan State is going play like they want to deliver that loss to them. Michigan State has a really good defense and I think they will keep Ohio State from running away with this game. This game is very important so I think it is going to be a much closer game with 2 really good teams here. I like Michigan State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-27 Ohio State. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Warriors -8 v. Cavs | Top | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Thursday. The Warriors are 12-2 to start the year and they are holding down the best record in the league. From what I have seen in their games, the Warriors look like they are back, and they don't even have Klay Thompson back in the lineup yet. They only have 1 loss in 9 games and all 8 of those wins were by 10+ points, they are absolutely destroying teams. The Cavaliers have looked decent up to this point but now a lot of their key pieces are out with injury and I don't expect them to continue what they've been doing without those players. The losses of Markkanen, Sexton, and Mobley are huge blows to their team and even Allen is questionable for this game with an illness. With all of their starters out of this game, and for the time being, the Cavaliers are going to start taking a dive so I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-92 Warriors. |

11-13-21 | Georgia -20 v. Tennessee | Top | 41-17 | Win | 100 | 48 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Tennessee in this game on Saturday. Georgia is the best team in the country this year and they have the best defense by far. Georgia's defense has not given up 14+ points in a single game this year and they haven't even given up 75 points total for the year. Their offense is no slouch either though, they have put up 30+ points in every game this year except for their first game against Clemson. Tennessee has looked better this year as the weeks go on but I think their defense is going to get burned by Georgia in this game and I don't think they are going to be able to score a lot of points either. Tennessee just lost a few weeks ago to Alabama by almost 30 points and they still put up 24 points in that game. I don't think they will be able to put up anywhere near that many points on Georgia's defense and I think Georgia is still going to put up roughly the same as Alabama did. This defense is just too good to let Tennessee score with ease so I like Georgia to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Georgia. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Chargers -1 v. Eagles | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 29 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Philadelphia Eagles in this game on Sunday. The Chargers were on such a great run before their bye week knocking off the Chiefs, Browns, and the Raiders during that run before it all came to an end against the Ravens. They came out of their bye last week and lost another game against the Patriots where they made some end of the game mistakes which sealed their fate. I think that they are due for a bounce back in this game, they are still a very good team on both offense and defense and they are going to get right in this game. The Eagles looked really good in their last game posting 44 points but that was against the winless Lions who have a real chance to go 0-17 this year. I think there is too much respect for the Eagles when they have shown that they cannot do much to keep up with the big boys until they are already trailing in those games by 14+ points. The Chargers are the better team in every way and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Chargers. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Ohio State -14 v. Nebraska | Top | 26-17 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Saturday. Ohio State have looked much better in every game since their little hiccup against Oregon at the beginning of the season. They have put up over 50+ points in most of those games and have put up 30+ points in all of them. Their defense is playing much better too, giving up less than 20 points in each of their last 5 games, except their last 1 against Penn State. Nebraska is no Penn State though, and I don't think they will be able to even put up 20 points on this Ohio State defense. Nebraska have lost 3 games in a row now and even though they made all of those games close where they had a chance to win the game, they still lost all of them to teams much worse than Ohio State. CJ Stroud is looking to express why his team deserves a playoff berth and a blowout win here would really help their case out a lot. I think they are going to go out there and destroy Nebraska without taking their foot off the gas at any point. I like Ohio State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-14 Ohio State. |

10-23-21 | Ohio State -21 v. Indiana | Top | 54-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Indiana on Saturday. Ohio State looks nothing like the team that we saw lose to Oregon back in week 2. They have been hitting their stride in their last few games coming away with some big victories in their games. They have put up 50+ points in each of their last 3 games while giving up less than 20 points in all of them. Their last 2 games were against conference teams and they won each of those games by 39+ points. CJ Stroud has looked much better in their games and even threw 5 TDs in their last game against Maryland. They had their bye week last week and will be even more prepared for this game against Indiana with some extra rest on their side too. Indiana have just been getting by in their games this season but they have really started to struggle as soon as they hit conference play. They have played in 3 games against Big 10 opponents this year and have scored a total of 21 points in those games. They only put up 15 points against Michigan State in their last game and they were shut out by Penn State in their game the week before that one. They do not have a strong offense and will now have to face the best team in the Big 10 by far. I think Ohio State is going to put up a ton of points in this game while Indiana struggles to even put up points. I like Ohio State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Selection: 56-14 Ohio State. |

10-17-21 | Rams -8 v. Giants | Top | 38-11 | Win | 100 | 36 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the New York Giants on Sunday. The Rams bounced back after their first loss of the season getting a win over the Seahawks on Thursday night. They have had some extra days of rest for this game and should be well rested for it. The Rams are looking very strong on offense this year with their new QB Matt Stafford. The Giants are not playing well on defense and the Rams will be able to score with ease in this game. Daniel Jones is expected to be back after a scary hit in his last game that caused a concussion. Even if he is back this week, it doesn't matter since all of the weapons on this team are injured. Barkley is out as well as Shepard and Golladay. They also have a few other pass catchers injured for this one. The Giants really have nothing to work with here and Jones can't do it all himself. I think the Giants have no chance here in their current situation so I love the Rams to cover the spread in this spot. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Rams. |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Alabama -17 v. Mississippi State | Top | 49-9 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against Mississippi State on Saturday. Alabama got knocked off by Texas A&M last week and is now faced with 1 loss this year and dropped to 5th ranked in the country. That was a massive upset and now Alabama is sitting outside of the college football playoffs if they were happening this week. They will be eager to get their rank back and that starts with running the table and blowing out the other teams while they are at it. It has been a very weird year for college football so there is still a chance for them but they need to show that they look good on both offense and defense and that starts in this game. They will need to get a blowout win here to help make their case. Mississippi State is just a mediocre team that usually plays in close games where their offense matches the team they are playing. I think Alabama will be able to take care of them with ease, Nick Saban will have his team geared up and ready to bounce back. I like Alabama to cover the spread here in a must blowout win game for them. T.M. Prediction: 45-14 Alabama. |

10-10-21 | 49ers v. Cardinals -5 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 103 | 74 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Cardinals are the only undefeated team left in the NFL and I think that it is going to stay that way after this week. The Cardinals have looked really good in all of their games. They have only played in 1 close game this year, winning by 1 point over the Vikings, all of their other wins were by 10+ points. Kyler Murray is really guiding this offense to victory with his amazing play and his ability to keep any broken play alive when he scrambles. The 49ers are in trouble after losing their last 2 games, including 1 against division rival Seattle. They need a win here and are so desperate that they have decided to start rookie QB Trey Lance in this game. Lance may be a great QB but he will need time to adjust to the NFL while Kingsbury and Murray have been doing it for years now and all that hard work is finally starting to show for it. The Cardinals took down the team to beat in their division last week when they beat up on the Rams by 17 points. They will not be stopped by this 49ers team so I like the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Cardinals. |

10-09-21 | Memphis +3.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 29-35 | Loss | -115 | 54 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis. I like Memphis to cover the spread against Tulsa on Saturday. Memphis has played close games all year leading up to this one. Their largest win against an FBS team this season was by 5 points against Arkansas State. Their largest loss this year was by 3 points in their last 2 games by UTSA and Temple. Tulsa has been struggling in their games all year and is pretty much the worst team in this conference this season. They lost by 35 points to Houston in their last game and they also have a loss against an FCS team this year on their record. Memphis does not have the best defense but they make up for it with their very good offense. They have been putting up a ton of points in every game this season and have only played 1 game where they didn't put up 30+ points, and they still had 28 points in that one. Memphis has a good enough offense to keep up in this game and even go on to win it. I like Memphis to cover the spread and even win in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-30 Memphis. |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos | Top | 23-7 | Win | 100 | 40 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Ravens have responded well after getting upset in Vegas back in week 1. They won their next 2 games and even knocked off the big bad Kansas City Chiefs in the process. They have also played much better teams than the Broncos have this year. The Ravens are 2-1 after beating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and beating the Lions with Jared Goff. Their 1 loss also came to the Raiders who are undefeated. The Broncos are an undefeated 3-0 but they have beaten the Giants, the Jags, and the Jets who all have a combined record of 0-10 this year. The Ravens have a lot of tricks up their sleeve with Lamar Jackson and they will be able to find holes in the Denver defense. The Broncos are a good team but they haven't proven themselves yet and until they do I will be on the Ravens to get the win and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Ravens. |

09-26-21 | Packers +3.5 v. 49ers | Top | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread and upset the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The Packers looked very good against the Lions on Monday night. Their offense was running well throughout that entire game and their defense finally kicked in and started really shutting the Lions down when they needed to in the 2nd half. Aaron Rodgers showed everyone in that game that week 1 was "just 1 game" and that there is still plenty of season left for them to hit their full stride. They scored 35 points while the defense held the Lions to 17, allowing no points in the 2nd half of that game. The 49ers have looked good in their first 2 games as well but have been a little wishy washy. In their first game their offense looked great putting up 41 points on the Lions but their defense allowed them to come back in that game letting the Lions score 33 points. Then last week, the 49ers defense played great as they held the Eagles to 11 points but their offense only managed to put up 17 points themselves. Aaron Rodgers looks like he's ready for the season now and he has a lot of weapons to work with on that offense in both the running game and the passing game. They will be looking to be the best in the NFC this season and that starts here with taking down one of the undefeated teams. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win the game in an upset. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Packers. |

09-25-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan -20 | Top | 13-20 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan. I like Michigan to cover the spread against Rutgers on Saturday. Michigan has looked good this season on both offense and defense and they look like they are getting back to that powerhouse team that they used to be. All of their wins this season have been by 21+ points, their most impressive one was a 31-10 win over Washington. They pretty much ripped out Washington's game plan in that one and used it against them as they were able to tear their defense up in the run game while stopping it themselves with their defense. This will be their first conference game this season and they will be out to make a statement in this game. Michigan is not just looking for a Big 10 title at this point, they want consideration for the college football playoffs so I expect them to win their games in blowout fashion, especially these important conference ones. Rutgers has also been winning their games by a large margin but between Temple and Syracuse, those are the toughest opponents they have faced this season and they only came away with a 10 point win over the Orange. Michigan has a solid defense and will be able to stop the Rutgers offense here. They also have a very good running game and a smart quarterback who makes good decisions when he throws the ball. I like Michigan to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Michigan. |

09-04-21 | Miami-OH v. Cincinnati -22.5 | Top | 14-49 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bearcats I have a hard time seeing Miami Ohio mustering up much of an offensive attack here today. The RedHawks went 2-1 last year, while tthe Bearcats went 9-1. Brett Gabbert isn't going to be able to keep pace with Desmond Ridder, who is out for a Heisman this season. The Bearscats are 5-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games. The RedHawks are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 in the same position. I look for the home side to go up early, and then to cruise to victory; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-7 Cincy |
|||||||
09-03-21 | Duke -6 v. Charlotte | Top | 28-31 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke Both teams have plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball. Each had difficulties last year, but most teams did during the abbreviated Covid season. The bottom line here for me though today gentlemen is that the Blue Devils hammered Charlotte 53-19 last year and I expect a similar sort of outcome today as well. Gunnar Holmberg doesn't have a lot of experience as QB, but he's been with Duke for three years. He knows the system and that's a small advantage he has. Duke gave up 38.1 PPG last year, but it was decimated with injury and COVID issues. I expect a BIG step up from this group today. The 49ers were also hit hard by COVID last season. Chris Reynolds is a decent QB, but I think he'll have his hands full today with this improved Duke defense. The Blue Devils are better across the board and I look for them to pull away in the fourth quarter. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 45-21 Duke |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Winnipeg -3.5 v. Toronto | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 28 m | Show |
I like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to cover the spread against the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday. The Blue Bombers have gotten off to a great 2-0 start this season. Now they hit the road for the first time to play an Argos team that they just beat in their last game 20-7. The Blue Bombers have been scoring pretty consistently, but it's the defense that have been the real stars. In 2 games this season, they have held the Tiger-Cats to 6 points and the Argos to 7. The Argos are 1-1 on the season coming home for the 1st time in 2 years. They did not look good against the Blue Bombers a week ago as both of their quarterbacks struggled against this defense, failing to throw for 100 yards or a touchdown. Both barely completed 50% of their passes and 1 even threw an interception. They are going to see the same defense that they struggled against a week ago and I don't expect anything to change here. The Blue Bombers will be able to put points on the board while their defense shuts the Argos down. I like the Blue Bombers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Blue Bombers. |

08-09-21 | Marlins v. Padres -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 23 h 30 m | Show |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline Monday night against the Miami Marlins. The Padres have cashed on the runline in 4 games of their last 6. Joe Musgrove (7-7, 2.87 ERA) will be starting on the mound for San Diego and he has been having a good year thus far. He has pitched exceptionally well in his last 3 starts allowing a total of 3 earned runs in those 3 games. The Marlins have taken a beating lately currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing each of those by 12, 3, and 5 runs, allowing a total of 34 runs scored against them in those 3 games. Zach Thompson (2-4, 2.53 ERA) will be starting for Miami here and the team has seen better days than with him on the mound. Miami has lost the last 5 games that Thompson has started in, all but 1 of those by 2+ runs. This is thompson's 1st year in the MLB and he has already been lit up by these Padres allowing 3 earned runs in a 5-2 loss to them just a few weeks ago. This Padres lineup is very talented and with the way the Marlins have been getting lit up lately, this should be another destruction of Miami. San Diego wins this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Padres. |

07-21-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers RUN LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). Logan Webb (4-3, 3.54 ERA) has been consistently inconsistent for the Giants of late. Overall the rookie is having a fine campaign, but I think he's in well over his head here against Julio Urias (12-3, 3.78) and the defending champs. Note as well that LA is 7-1 in its last eight after scoring eight or more runs in a home win in its last outing. Look for the Dodgers to lay the hammer down here; the play is the Dodgers on the run-line! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. |

07-20-21 | Suns +5 v. Bucks | Top | 98-105 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). If you're watching and wagering on Game 6, then you know the story lines and the cast of characters. You know the teams strengths and weaknesses. This is it for the Suns, who had the 2-0 lead early in this series. I say though that the Bucks finally have a letdown here. The more desperate team is going to win this contest and that's the Suns. Also note that Phoenix is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to revenge two or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row to an opponent. Grab the points, expect a nail-biter! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY |
|||||||
07-16-21 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | Top | 2-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I don't follow any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with one's approach is the best way to secure profit over the longterm. Sometimes I completely dissect a contest and look at every tiny angle and stat I can get my hands on, but other times I use the "KISS" approach. Keep it simple stupid. This one here I'm giving the good old "eye test" and in my opinion, the massive talent discrepancy on the mound tonight absolutely justifies in laying the 1.5 runs for the near pick-em price. Jordan Lyles (5-5, 4.86 ERA) has been decent this year for Texas, but I think he'll struggle against this hard-hitting Jays line-up that's poised for a big second-half. Robbie Ray (7-4, 3.13) has a 1.05 WHIP and 130:24 K/BB over 100.2 innings for the Jays, and he just struck out 11 over seven shutouting inings in a win over the Rays in his last outing. This one has blowout written all over it; lay the 1.5 runs, the play is the Jays on the run-line! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Toronto. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Suns +4 v. Bucks | Top | 100-120 | Loss | -101 | 35 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I really respect Giannis Antetokounmpo, but his supporting cast has been a "no show" so far in the Finals and I expect that to continue here. Chris Paul, Devin Booker and De'Andre Ayton are impossible to slow down right now, but the difference is that their bench and role players are producing. Keep your eyes on Mikal Bridges, who had 27 points in Game 2 for the Suns. Phoenix is 6-1 ATS in its last seven on the road and while the outright win is possible in my opinion, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

07-10-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Orioles | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* RUNLINE BEST OF THE BEST). The White Sox have won three games in a row, winning by a combined 22-3 in that span. That included a 12-1 win here in yesterday's series opener. I don't expect such a massive lop-sided destruction here, but I do definitely expect Chicago to win handily, and that's why my official recommendation is to play the ChiSox on the runline option. Lucas Giolito (6-6, 4.20 ERA) will be determined to finish off the first half strong after a loss to the Tigers on SUnday, allowing six runs over five innings. The ten hits allowed were a season-high. I'm not reading too much into one poor start and I definitely think he has a major advantage here over confirmed gas can Tome Eshelman (0-1, 7.16), who gave up four runs over four innings in a no-decision to the Angels in his last outing. Over four starts he owns a poor 5:5 K/BB spanning 16.1 innings and I think he's definitely in well over his head here in this matchup. The value is to lay the 1.5 runs for the much better price; the play is Chicago on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Chicago. |

07-07-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens +1.5 (10* MONEY-MAKER). If you're wagering on this contest, then I'd have to think that you know the strengths and weaknesses of each of these teams. You know the cast of characters on each side, both on the ice and behind the bench. You also know the story lines on how they've gotten to this point. The Canadiens have a small amount of momentum and they've already proven that they'll never give up. I think, at they very least, that they'll take this one right down to the wire again and make the Lighthing really earn this one. In a contest which I see being decided late or in extra time, I'm playing the desperate visiting side on the puckline! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. |
|||||||
07-06-21 | White Sox v. Twins +1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -151 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins (+1.5) 10* MONEY-MAKER After five straight losses, the Twins have won two in a row. That includes yesterday's opener by a score of 8-5. Minnesota can't afford to take the foot off the gas and I like it to at the very least, keep this one super competitive throughout. I'll call Carlos Rodon and Jose Berrios a "wash" here for arguments sakes. Note though that the Twins are 7-2 in their last nine off a home win in which they scored seven or more runs in. After their terrible start to the season, I expect Minnesota to keep the foot on the gas until the All Star Break; that said, lay the reasonable price for the extra run-and-a-half in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Minnesota. |
|||||||
07-02-21 | Italy v. Belgium +0.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -165 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Belgium (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Belgians are currently ranked No. 1 in the World. I like their chances here to at the very least, send this one to extra time and because of that, I'm laying the price for the extra +0.5 goal. Belgium was short-handed against Portugal, and still managed to top the reining champs. The Red Devils have scored in every one of their last 34 games, while winning 23 of their last 27 in regulation. Italy managed to get by Austria in the last round, but it appears to be running out of steam. This is a huge step up in competition for the Azzuri over their last opponent and I expect them to struggle. Everything points to another tight-game here. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Belgium. |
|||||||
06-30-21 | Suns +0.5 v. Clippers | Top | 130-103 | Win | 100 | 15 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* WEST-CONF FINALS GOY). Somehow the Clippers hung on for a Game 5 victory, but I believe that Chris Paul and Devin Booker will finally end this series here in LA. Note that Phoenix is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 in trying to revenge a ten-points or greater home loss to an opponent. I've been impressed with how tough these Clippers have played, but I believe that fatigue will be a major factor for them here after their big road win in Phoenix. Give me Paul to finally break the curse; the play is the Suns! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
06-29-21 | Bucks v. Hawks +7 | Top | 88-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hawks have been consistently inconsistent throughout the playoffs. Yes, Trae Young is either out or he'll be less than 100%, but I still simply believe this is too many points for the Bucks to be giving up on the road. Note that Milwaukee is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after a SU/ATS victory of ten or more points as well. Give me John Collins, the points and the hungry home side; the play is Atlanta! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

06-28-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -161 | 34 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens +1.5 (10* GAME OF WEEK). Montreal has performed really well in this spot for bettors. And I'm talking about if you took the Habs on the moneyline. After going down 1-3 to Toronto, this Montreal Canadiens team has been on an absolute mission. The Habs are getting World class goaltending and I think they have everything it takes to upset the defending champs. That said, I'l feel more comfortable with the extra 1.5 goals in my back pocket; lay the price for the Habs on the puck-line! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. |
|||||||
06-26-21 | Cubs v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers RUN LINE (10* GAME OF YEAR). The Dodgers are streaking towards the mid-Summer classic and I like them to keep the foot on the gas here vs. the Cubs, who they beat here 6-2 yesterday. Alec Mills is 3-1, but he owns a pedestrian 5.18 ERA. He's coming off a decent home start, but note that he's 0-1 with an 8.33 ERA on the road. Jose Urias (9-3, 3.99) is coming off a crumm outing against the Padres, but it was his first poor start all year. I think he bounces back in fine fashion here. Look for Mills' struggles on the road to continue in Chavez Ravine and expect Urias to bounce-back in friendly confines! T.M. Prediction: 8-1 Dodgers. |
|||||||
06-25-21 | Hawks +8 v. Bucks | Top | 91-125 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (10* TRADE-MARK). What's going on here? Why are the Hawks getting so many points again? They just beat the Bucks outright in Game 1 and from everything that I can see, they have the better and more complete team on the court. I'm not saying that Atlanta is goingo to win and upset outright again, but what I am definitely saying is that there's no way the Bucks should be favored by this much. Note that the Hawks are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after scoring 115 or more points in a SU/ATS road victory; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
06-24-21 | Suns -1 v. Clippers | Top | 92-106 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* TRADE-MARK). I don't think we need to overthink this one. Kawhi Leonard remains out and so do the Clippers chances in my opinion. Chris Paul is returning to the Suns lineup to provide a massive boost of energy and confidence and I believe it'll be more than enough to help lead his team to a third straight victory in this series. LA threw everything it had at the Suns in Game 2 and it still came up short. I can't see Devin Booker having back-to-back poor games either. The Clippers have exceeded expectations to this point, as they've had to play from three straight 0-2 holes so far in the playoffs, but this time I think it's just too much. I look for Phoenix to take a strangle-hold on this series! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
06-22-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Golden Knights | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens +1.5 PUCK LINE (SLAP-SHOT 10*). Montreal was on the brink of taking a 3-1 lead in this series, but it came up short, allowing a tying goal late and then falling in OT. The Golden Knights managed a "lucky" win and with it, don't have any advantage here, but simply tied up the series a 2-2. This one is going to be another tight affair and because of that, I'm laying the very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pocket; the play is Canadiens on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Canadiens. |
|||||||
06-20-21 | Hawks +7 v. 76ers | Top | 103-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (10* TRADE-MARK). Philadelphia is just 4-9-1 ATS in its last 14 vs. teams with winning records. Atlanta is 9-4 ATS in its last 12 overall and a fantastic 14-6 (70%) ATS when playing on just one days rest. The six other games in this series have been decided by 7.8 points per game. Vegas has done a good job with this line, but the 76ers have collapsed so many times in the second half during this series that I just can't trust them covering this big spread down the stretch. I'm grabbing the points, the play is Atlanta! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
06-16-21 | Yankees v. Blue Jays +1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays +1.5 (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Obviously, Gerritt Cole (7-3, 2.31 ERA) is the superior starting pitcher in this matchup. I think Toronto has the better in form hitting lineup though which has the advantage of hitting at "home" here today. I also think Toronto has the better bullpen right now. Ross Stripling (2-3, 4.91) has a 4.13 ERA at home. This one is going to come down to the final innings and in a situation like that, I'll lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |

06-15-21 | Islanders v. Lightning -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 145 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning -1.5 (10* MONEY-MAKER). I think we're getting great value on the puck line here. A great win by the Islanders in Game 1, but it's hard to beat Tampa two times in a row, let alone in their own building. I think the Islanders are very satisfied with with earning the split. Tampa is also a near-perfect 7-1 in its last eight in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it was held to one or less goals in. Tampa wins in a massive blowout in Game 2; play on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Lightning. |
|||||||
06-14-21 | Jazz +5 v. Clippers | Top | 104-118 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Jazz (10* TRADE-MARK). Honestly, I think the Jazz have a golden opportunity to win this game outright. But in what should be a much more competitive affair than what we saw in the Clippers 132-106 Game 3 victory, I'm going to grab the points. Utah is a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a 15 points or greater road loss to an opponent as well. The story lines and cast of characters, the strengths and weaknesses of each side are well known, so I'm not going to break down individual player accomplishments or stat lines, as this for me is a great "situational" play, combined with that unreal ATS stat listed above. Grab the points, expect (at least!) a comfortable cover! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

06-13-21 | Islanders +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Islanders (+1.5) EAST-CONF SEMI-FINAL GAME OF MONTH. Both teams have been playing great. I didn't expect Tampa to get by Carolina to get this point so easily. However, I also didn't expect the Islanders to roll through the Bruins like they did either. Honestly, it would not be very difficult at all to write a convincing argument for either of these red hot teams to take Game 1. But situationally, I do think it sets up as a very competitive affair. There's been some time off between series, which throws a monkey wrench into chemistry. I believe each will have a "feeling out" period to start this one and in a contest which I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I'm laying the very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance; the play is the Isles on the puck line. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Islanders. |
|||||||
06-12-21 | Jazz v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 106-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers (10* TRADE-MARK). No need to overthink this one in my opinion. Yes, the Jazz have sure looked good over the first two games of this series. In fact, after losing their first game to the Grizzlies, a contest in which star player Donovan Mitchell sat out, they haven't lost a game, winning six in a row. Their second straight win in this series could have come at a cost though, as Mitchell was limping off the court at the end. His health is a major concern here. The Jazz just aren't the same team without Mitchell attacking at 100% capacity. This is the window of opportunity that Kawhi Leonard needs. Combined with the fact that the Clippers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge back-to-back losses to an opponent, then everything points to a blowout here finally for LA in Game 3; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

06-11-21 | 76ers v. Hawks +1.5 | Top | 127-111 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks (10* ELILTE OF THE ELITE). The Hawks have been an "against the spread" covering machine since Nate McMillan took over as head coach. Atlanta took out the Knicks in five games and it held on for a win in Game 1 vs. the 76ers, before then finally having a letdown in Game 2. I'm not reading anything at all into that setback though, as the Hawks got done what they needed to to open up this series, and that was to at the very least, earn a tough "split" on the road. Now returning back home, note that the Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last four against teams with winning road records. The 76ers? They're just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Give me the Hawks at home in this revenge spot and crucial Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

06-09-21 | Yankees -1.5 v. Twins | Top | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees RUN-LINE (-1.5) 10* MONEY-MAKER. Is there any reason to overthink this one? This is a "must win" game for the Yanks here and Gerritt Cole in a sense, as there's no way he'll want to throw away this golden opportunity for a victory, throwing opposite confirmed "gas can" Randy Dobnak (1-5, 6.19 ERA). Over his last 11.2 innings of work, Dobnak has conceded nine earned runs. Cole is 6-3 with a 2.26 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. This is a contest that I believe will be lop-sided in nature, therefore I'm laying the 1.5 runs for the pick-em ranged price! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Yanks. |
|||||||
06-08-21 | Hawks v. 76ers -5.5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 76ers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hawks have been playing unbelievably well, but I think a predictable letdown is finally in order tonight. Atlanta has exceeded expectations to this point. Clearly. The Hawks are now in unchartered territory though and I think that a letdow is for sure invevitable with the knowlege that they'll be returning to friendly confines for two games. The 76ers looked rusty in Game 1, but I don't think there's any reason to push the panic button. Adjustments are the name of the game in the playoffs and the 76ers have the depth and experience to do just that. Also note that they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it allowed 125 or more points in. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
06-03-21 | Suns v. Lakers -2 | Top | 113-100 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers (10* TRADE-MARK). Simply put, I expect the Lakers to lay the hammer down here in this "must win" game. This is LA's biggest game of the entire year and whether Anthony Davis plays or not, I think that King James will get plenty of support tonight from his cast of backups. Both Andre Drummond and Dennis Schroder had terrible games and I don't expect that to happen again. Phoenix has been consistent, but not dominant. I don't think they can put away the champs on their own floor. I'm laying the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
06-03-21 | Tigers v. White Sox -1.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 104 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* RUN-LINE BEST OF THE BEST). After back-to-back losses, I like the White Sox to bounce back here in this favorable matchup. The Tigers have looked decent of late, but Case Mize is in over his head here facing White Sox' ace Lance Lynn. Lynn is 6-1 with a 1.37 ERA and he's been dominant at home. Chicago is also 28-18 in its last 36 when playign with a day off, while Detroit is just 39-98 in its last 137 vs. clubs with winning records; lay the 1.5 runs, expect a massive beatdown! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Chicago. |
|||||||
06-03-21 | Hurricanes +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hurricanes (10* PUCK-LINE ELITE OF THE ELITE). I'm laying the price here for the extra 1.5 goals. I think this game will be the most competitive of them all. Tampa is "lucky" I think to have won both opening games. Carolina though is resilient and I expect it to throw its best shot at the defending champs. These team's numbers are almost identical on both ends of the ice, but Carolina is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge back-to-back losses to an opponent. Lay the price, the play is the Canes on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Carolina. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Grizzlies +9.5 v. Jazz | Top | 110-126 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). The Grizzlies road back-to-back "play in" victories to a 112-109 win in Game 1 of this series, but then Donovan Mitchell returned to the Jazz lineup and it's been all Utah since. The Jazz have won three straight, but note that the Grizzlies are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after three or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row. Memphis was better on the road for bettors this year, going 23-17 ATS away from friendly confines. Facing elimination, this young Grizzlies team may not battle back and win this game outright, but I do expect a competitive war until the final moments; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
06-01-21 | Blazers v. Nuggets -1.5 | Top | 140-147 | Win | 100 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). I'm travelling today gentlemen, so I'm going to have to keep my analysis much more "succinct" than I usually do. This has been a back and forth series. Each team has won on the others court, but I expect Denver to rally here at home. Denver is a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to under 100 points in. Look for Nikola Jokic to have another big game here at home and lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Knicks +5 v. Hawks | Top | 96-113 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knicks (10* TRADE-MARK). This has been a tight, back-and-forth series to begin with and I expect that trend to continue here. The Hawks have played better than most would have expected, but a predictable letdown is imminent in my opinion after their 105-94 Game 3 victory. The Knicks has somehow been slowed down by this poor Hawks' defense, and I definitely don't expect that weird trend to continue. New York is also 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to 95 points or less in; the play is New York! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -4.5 | Top | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Portland took Game 1, but Denver has taken the last two games. The Blazers now look to respond, and I believe they'll pull away down the stretch for the comfortable win and cover. Portland has the superior offensive numbers, while Denver has the better defensive numbers. I believe CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard will take over this game for the home side, and stretch this Denver defense, which has granted played well without Jamal Murray in the lineup; lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-28-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers -1.5 (10* RUN-LINE BANKROLL BUILDER). Anthony DeSclafani (4-2, 3.54 ERA), was rocked hard by the Dodgers last Sunday, allowing ten runs off nine hits with three walks over 2.2 innings in a loss. I think he'll do better this time around, but only a little. Walker Buehler (3-0, 2.78) is the correct call here in my opinion, as he has a tiny 0.78 WHIP so far this year and he gave up one run over seven innings in a victory over San Francisco last Saturday. Lay the 1.5 runs, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 7-1 LA. |
|||||||
05-26-21 | Wizards +8.5 v. 76ers | Top | 95-120 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards (10* TRADE-MARK). Philadelphia won 125-118 in Game 1, but it was unable to cover the large spread. I think that's going to be the case again here. I'm not calling for an outright victory, but I do absolutely expect the Wizards to throw their "best shot" at the 76ers here so as to avoid the dreaded 0-2 hole. Note as well that the Wiz are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which they allowed 125 or more points in. No outright as I stated above, but definitely closer than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-23-21 | Grizzlies +9 v. Jazz | Top | 112-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). Outright win? Very possible! The Grizzlies come in on top form, as they won both their "play in" contests, after losing to Golden State in their regular-season finale. Memphis is a deep team, which I think will help it here in Game 1. Utah earned the No. 1 seed after going 52-20 in the regular season. The big question though is, will rest lead to rust? Note that the Grizzlies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 as an underdog, while the Jazz are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten at home and only 1-5 ATS in their last six playoff games as a favorite. While I do think the outright upset is possible, in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-21-21 | Astros v. Rangers +1.5 | Top | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rangers (+1.5) 10* MONEY-MAKER. In a game which I see being decided late or in extra frames, I'm going to lay the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Tyler Ivey (0-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his big league debut here for the Asros. Over 6.1 innings in two minor league starts, he's conceded five earned runs. He'll go against Rangers' ace Kyle Gibson (3-0, 2.32), who comes in off another strong outing, allowing two runs off four hits with three K's in an unfortunate no-decision vs. these very Astros last Wednesday. Over 54.1 innings of work, he has a sharp 44/17 K/BB. As stated off the top, I think the outright is possible, but I'll lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Texas. |
|||||||
05-20-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 34 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens PUCK LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). Montreal got out to a great start this year, then it got hit by COVID. It was a constant struggle after that, but the Canadiens did enough to earn a spot in the playoffs and they actually enter healthier right now than they've been in a while. The Canadiens have strong goaltending and defense. The Leafs won the North conference regular season title, and they're one of the best on both ends of the ice. Montreal though is 7-2 in its last nine when playing with two or more days of rest. Edmonton got surprised last night, and everything points to the Leafs coming out flat here as well. Great value on the Canadiens puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Montreal. |
|||||||
05-19-21 | Spurs v. Grizzlies -3.5 | Top | 96-100 | Win | 100 | 35 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). San Antonio allowed 110.7 PPG through the regular season, but it completely fell apart over the final few weeks. Over the last four games of the regular season the Spurs allowed 128, 102, 140 and 123 points. Overall the Spurs average 111.1 PPG. The Grizzlies allowed 110.9 PPG this year, but over theri final five games, all victories, they conceded 113, 106, 110, 104, 110 and 99. The Grizz averaged 113.3 PPG, and they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games when playing with two or more days of rest; lay the short points, expect a major blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Mavs -7 v. Wolves | Top | 121-136 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). I don't expect the Mavericks to take the foot off the gas here. Dallas has won two in a row and six of seven. Dallas is now a season-high 13 games over the .500 mark. The T-Wolves are going through the motions at this point, as they won't even reach the 25 win plateau. They're coming off back-to-back losses, most recently a 124-108 setback to the Celtics. “It doesn't look like they're locked in to finish the season the way we wanted to," Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. Despite already being locked into their seed, I look for Dallas' role players to deliver in this spot; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Nuggets -4.5 v. Wolves | Top | 114-103 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). Yes, Minnesota has been playing a lot better of late. That tends to happen to teams which have played poorly all season, and then catch other teams tired or disinerested at the end of the season. Minnesota just hammered the Pistons 119-100 on the road, but the Nuggets aren't going to roll over here, as they're still in a tight race in the West standing with just a couple of games to go. Denver is playing well right now as well, as it's won 11 of its last 14. I say Minnesota is the one due for a letdown here after its rare big road win, while I look for the Nuggets to improve upon their impressive 21-4-1 ATS record here in their last 26 visits to Minnesota; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Mavs -2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 104-133 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). The Mavericks have won 10 of 12. They've won four in a row, most recently a 124-97 road victory over the Cavaliers. Memphis has won three of four, but Luka Doncic is for sure a matchup issue for the home side. This is a big game/stretch for Dallas, as it sits just one game ahead of Portland in fourth spot in the West, a coveted position heading into the post-season. I look for the red hot Mavs to continue their torrid end of season run; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Nets v. Nuggets +4 | Top | 125-119 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). Off a 127-120 loss in Utah last night, the red hot Nuggets got caught looking ahead to this game vs. the Nets. We're getting great value on the now focussed home side, who I believe will be ready and that fatigue won't be an issue at all. Brooklyn has been playing terribly of late, as it's lost FOUR in a row. With two whole nights off after this before a game at Chicago, this also sets up as a letdown spot for the visiting side. This is Denver's final home game of the season, as it concludes with four straight on the road. I say the Nuggets come to play tonight and find a way to deliver; that said, grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-06-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Oilers | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 26 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks PUCK LINE (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). I like the Canucks to at the very least, take this one to extra time and because of that, I'm going to suggest to lay the very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The Canucks are desperate to break a six-game slide. They've lost two straight here, but note that the Canucks are 7-2 in their last nine in trying to revenge a three goals or greater road loss vs. an opponent. I think Edmonton gets caught flat-footed here! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | Kings v. Pacers -5.5 | Top | 104-93 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pacers are in need of a win here. After smashing OKC 152-95, it then lost 154-141 in the nation's capital two nights later. The Pacers play with revenge here as well after falling 127-122 in Sacramento in January. And with a game in ATL tomorrow night, tonight's game takes on added importance for the home side. And after three straight victories, the overachieving Kings are primed for a classic "letdown" on the road here; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Warriors +1.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 103-108 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). Golden State is currently in eighth spot, only 3.5 games out of sixth. The Pels are 2.5 games behind the No. 10 play in spot in the Western Conference. The Warriors just beat the Pels 123-108 on Monday, fueled by 41 points from Stephen Curry. Frankly, I see a repeat performance tonight. Over their last ten games the Warriors are averaging 114.2 PPG. The Pels are now just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games, while the Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last six in an underdog role. Expect Golden State to lay the hammer down again tonight! T.M. Prediction: POSTED SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Suns v. Thunder +13.5 | Top | 123-120 | Win | 100 | 26 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: OKC (10* TRADE-MARK). The Thunder got throttled by the Pacers 152-95 last night. OKC threw in the white flag early in that one, so fatigue isn't going to be an issue. But after that embarrassing effort, I believe we'll see a much better effort from the home side tonight. Clearly, the Suns are the better team in this matchup. In fact, if going by their win/loss record, they're the best team in the NBA. However, I think the visiting side is going to classically get caught looking past its lowly opponent here. The SUns are off a highly satisfying 121-100 win over the Jazz. Phoenix has hit a "vanilla" part of its final schedule here, with this game at Oakland, followed by games at Cleveland and Atlanta. This one sets up as a letdown spot for the visitors, who could very well rest several starters; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Aston Villa v. Everton -0.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Everton (10* EPL GOW). Everton beat Arsenal last time out and I expect it to keep the foot on the gas here as well. The Toffees are in eighth spot, while Villa is in 11th. Everton though is now firmly in the race for the Top 4 after last weeks win. And with a huge game vs. West Ham on the 9th, it puts added incentive to deliver in this favorable matchup. Everton has won 10 of its 16 road matches. Villa is coming off a 2-2 draw with West Brom. Here's a chance for the Toffees to reverse their fortunes here at home though. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Everton. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Kings v. Lakers -9.5 | Top | 110-106 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 12 m | Show |
TT.M. Selection: Lakers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Lakers have lost five straight ATS. Four of those have come on the road, as LA finally returns home. AD has had a couple games under his belt now and The King is about to return as well. With a chance to bounce back after a 116-107 loss at Washington, I expect the Lakers to bring their "A" game tonight. Sacramento is injured and it's simply playing out the rest of its season. The Kings most recently got destroyed 154-105 at home to the Jazz. Look for the Lakers to take advantage and to keep the foot on the gas from stat to finish; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-28-21 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 111-116 | Push | 0 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat (10* TRADE-MARK). No need to overthink this one. Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot, but after two straight losses, including a listless 110-102 setback to the Bulls at home in their last outing, this one means a whole lot more to the home side Heat. The Spurs have been playing great, as they've won five of their last six, but after a huge 146-143 OT win in the Nation's capital to break the Wizards eight-game win streak, this sets up as a natural letdown spot for the visiting side for sure. Look for the home side to step up and deliver; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-27-21 | Lightning -1.5 v. Blackhawks | Top | 7-4 | Win | 135 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning puck line (10* MONEY-MAKER). This is the final matchup between these two teams, and Tampa has a 6-1 lead in the season series thus far. The Lightning have allowed just 125 goals all season, which ranks eighth. Chicago's offense is hit or miss, and I just can't see it keeping pace here with this now focussed Lightning team, which looks to build momentum with the Playoffs just around the corner. Chicago is also just 14-34 in its last 38 vs. a team with a winning percentage over .600, while Tampa is 55-17 in its last 72 when playing on one days rest. Lay the 1.5 goals for the great plus-money return! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Tampa. |
|||||||
04-27-21 | Bucks -9 v. Hornets | Top | 114-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I expect the Bucks to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish in this one, and to then easily hold on to their big lead late. Overall Milwaukee is averaging 119.3 PPG, while conceding 112.9. The Hornets have lost six of nine. They score 109.9 PPG, while allowing 111.1. The Bucks have shot 49 percent from the floor over their last four games and after going 0-4 ATS the last four in this series, I don't expect them to take anything for granted here; I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-25-21 | Grizzlies v. Blazers -4 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Memphis enters off a tight 130-128 win here two nights ago. So how does that old saying go again, revenge is a dish best served cold? I think the revenge angel works for sure here. These teams' offensive and defensive numbers are similar, but this sets up fantastically from a situational for Portland, as it's a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which it conceded 125 or more points in. Lay the short points, but expect a decisive bounce-back revenge victory for the home side here! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-24-21 | Avalanche v. Blues +1.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: BLUES PUCK LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). After three straight losses, including a 4-2 setback here to these very Avs two nights ago, I think St. Louis is worth the price to grab the extra 1.5 goals. St. Louis is actually 7-2 in its last nine home games after three straight losses in a row. It's also 8-3 in its last 11 in trying to avenge a two goals or greater home loss vs. an opponent. After five straight wins, I expect Colorado to come out flat here; the play is the Blues on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 St. Louis. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Pelicans -7.5 v. Magic | Top | 135-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pelicans (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pelicans have lost four in a row, but it hasn't been from a lack of trying. They've just come up across some stiff competition. New Orleans has had big leads in each of its last two games, only to then falter late and let them slip away. Fortunately now they face the putrid Magic, who failed to score 100 points in a loss to Hawks on Tuesday. I expect New Orleans to go up early again here, but this time I look for it to keep the foot on the gas and I simply can't see this offensively challenged Magic side keeping pace down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Warriors -2 v. Wizards | Top | 114-118 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* TRADE-MARK). Golden State is still pushing for a playoff spot at 29-29 and I expect it to make the most of this favorable matchup. The Warriors come in with pelnty of momentum as well after an 11-point win over the 76ers. Washington comes in off a highly satisfying road win at Oklahoma City. Golden State though has won five of its last six and Stephen Curry has scored 30 or more points in ten straight games. Washington has two really good players, but it's depth is a huge question mark after that. The Wizards have won five in a row, but regression is imminent here vs. this hot-shooting Warriors side; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Magic +12.5 v. Hawks | Top | 96-112 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Magic to sneak in under the radar here after losing eight of their last nine games. Orlando is obviously a poor team that's going through a rebuilding year, but I think the Hawks are going to get caught "looking past" their opponent today to their much more high-profile contest in New York vs. the red hot Knicks tomorrow night. These teams played on March 3rd, and the Hawks won 115-112 as 3-point favorites. Expect another tight game here and grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-19-21 | Warriors +9.5 v. 76ers | Top | 107-96 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* TRADE-MARK). Golden State played with a lead almost the entire game at the Celtics two nights ago, but the Warriors couldn't hold on late, and eventually lost both straight up and against the spread. Previosu to that they'd won four in a row. They play with revenge here as well though after falling 108-98 to the 76ers at home on March 23rd. Philly's off a satisfying 106-103 win over the Clippers, and with Phoenix coming to town next, followed by two straight in Milwaukee, this absolutely sets up as a trap/look-ahead spot for the home side as well. Expect this one to come right down to the wire! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-18-21 | Golden Knights -1.5 v. Ducks | Top | 5-2 | Win | 108 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas -1.5 (10* PUCK-LINE DESTROYER). Vegas is streaking towards the finish line, and Anaheim has throw in the white towel. The Knights have won five in a row, including a 4-0 win here two nights ago. No need to think anything will change here. This is a huge mismatch on paper, and on the ice and I simply don't see Vegas taking the foot off the gas or losing its focus (especially with a game tomorrow night in San Jose.) Lay the 1.5 goals, expect a lop-sided destruction! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Vegas. |

04-16-21 | Blazers -1.5 v. Spurs | Top | 107-106 | Loss | -118 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Portland's coming off a tight 116-115 home loss to Boston. After back-to-back losses, I like the Blazers to come out firing here and to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable cover. Note that Portland is 7-2 ATS in it slast nine after back-to-back SU/ATS losses. The Blazers play with the added incentive of revenge here as well after falling 125-104 to the Spurs back on January 18th. San Antonio is off a 117-112 loss at Toronto and with a tough game at Phoenix tomorrow night, everything points to a letdown here in my opinion. I'm layin the short points, but expecting a decisive victory! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

04-15-21 | Celtics -6 v. Lakers | Top | 121-113 | Win | 100 | 13 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Celtics (10* TRADE-MARK). This is always a big rivalry game. The Celtics have won six of their last eight and four in a row and I think they'll keep that momentum rolling here. Most recently the beat the Blazers 116-115 on Tuesday, led by 32 points from Jayson Tatum. LA has won six of ten, but without its bonafide superstars in the line-up, I think it'll struggle here to contain this determined Boston side looking to end its road trip with a big nationally televised victory. The Lakers are just 1-4 ATS in their last five at home, so lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

04-15-21 | Padres -1.5 v. Pirates | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Diego (10* RUN-LINE MONEY-MAKER). The Padres have lost two in a row after losing by four here yesterday. Chris Paddack takes the hill for the visiting side and he's 0-1 with a 5.63 ERA so far this season. Paddack though still has an advantage over Mitch Keller here in my opinion (1-1, 4.50). It's still too early to draw any conclusions on either pitcher, but note that Pittsburgh is just 2-7 in its last nine after back-to-back victories. I like Paddack to finally get on track here and for the hungrier side to finally deliver; lay the 1.5 runs, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Padres. |

04-13-21 | Heat v. Suns -3 | Top | 86-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* TRADE-MARK). After winning six of their last seven, I believe the Heat are going to come up short here in this difficult road venue. Miami enters off a highly-satisfying 107-98 road win at Portland and everything points to a letdown here in my opinion with a tough game to look ahead to in Denver tomorrow night. Note that Phoenix has been trading against the spread wins/losses over its last ten games. Off a 126-120 outright win over the Rockets, unable to cover the large spread, expect this incredibly strong pattern to continue here. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

04-11-21 | Spurs v. Mavs -6 | Top | 119-117 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). These teams are moving in opposite directions and I expect those trends to carry here. The Spurs are floundering now, as they've lost five straight. That includes a soul-crushing 121-119 loss to the Nuggets on Friday. The Mavericks are moving the opposite way, as they've now moved into seventh in the competitive West standings. The Mavericks wer eonly 18-16 going into the All Star Break, but they come into this one as 29-22 after a 116-111 home win over the Bucks most recently. The Spurs are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven vs. teams with winning records, while Dallas is 7-2 ATS in its last nine at home; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

04-09-21 | Avalanche -1.5 v. Ducks | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Avs PUCK LINE (10* ELITE OF ELITE). On some games, I like to break down every single angle possible. In other contests, I think keeping it simple is the best approach. And that's the case here. Instead of laying the massive -300 chalk on the Avs, I'm going to lay the 1.5 goals for the much more reasonable price. I expect Colorado to bounce back big here after its 8-3 loss at Minnesota last time out. Previous to that the Avs had won five straight. Colorado only allows 2.41 GPG this year, while the Ducks only average 2.28. Lay the 1.5 goals, expect a big time blowout! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Colorado. |

04-09-21 | Spurs +7.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 119-121 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Spurs are still in the playoff hunt. San Antonio is looking to avenge a 106-96 loss here just two nights ago (note, the Spurs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which they were held to 99 or less points in.) Denver's been great since the Aaron Gordon trade, but note that the Nuggets are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after holding their previous opponent to 99 or less points in a SU/ATS victory. I expect things to be much more competitive this time around; so grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-09-21 | A's +1.5 v. Astros | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: A's RUN LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). Oakland's 1-7. Houston is 6-1. Clearly the A's are the hungrier dog in this fight, but in a contest which I see being competitive, maybe even decided in extra innins, I'm going to lay the price and grab the 1.5 runs and the A's on the RUN LINE. If Oakland loses by 1 run, we're still going to win our bet. Both Manaea and McCullers Jr. struggled in their repsective openers, making the starters a wash. Oakland' line-up has been drastically underperforming and I expect that trend to end here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oakland. |

04-08-21 | Blazers +7 v. Jazz | Top | 103-122 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Blazers played two nights ago and lost 133-116 at the Clippers. Portland plays with revenge here after falling 120-100 to the Jazz on December 23rd. Utah is off a crushing 117-113 OT loss in Phoenix just last night and I simply can't see the Jazz mustering up energy to handle this tough Blazers team, out for revenge and off a loss. The outright is for sure possible, as this situation sets up fantastically for the visiting side. That said, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
