Points Spread |
Pick: |
Memphis Grizzlies |
| Reason: |
Our 10* Selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. The Grizz are the road favorite by about 3.5 points, and I expect they’ll win this match-up fairly convincingly. Play on Memphis tonight.
The Grizzlies are rolling, winners of 4 in a row and looking for back to back road victories for the first time this season. We can expect they’ll get it tonight against a Detroit team sitting at just 3-12 on the season and losers of 4 in a row at home. Detroit has won just one of its last ten games and is averaging just 85 PPG this season. Memphis is scoring 93.5 PPG on the year, almost a full 9 PPG higher, and they’ve been putting up serious points during their recent run. During the 4-game win streak the Grizz are scoring over 99 PPG. Look for them to jump out to a big lead and simply outscore the Pistons in this contest.
The Grizz are a solid 22-6 ATS L28 games as the favorite, and a perfect 4-0 ATS L4 as the road favorite. The Pistons are 0-4 ATS L4 home games, 2-8 ATS L10 overall, and 0-6 ATS L6 games on one day’s rest. Look for these trends to extend tonight. Play on the Grizzlies.
Good luck, Nick

Villanova Vs. Syracuse |

| Type: |
Points Spread |
Pick: |
Syracuse |
| Reason: |
Our 10* Selection is on Syracuse over Villanova on Wednesday night. The Orange are the road favorite by about 9 points, and I expect they’ll win this game convincingly. Look for a double-digit win by ‘Cuse in this match-up.
This spread could be much larger if not given Villanova’s successful history. The Wildcats have greatly struggled this season to play at a high level, and especially to do so consistently. They sit at just 1-3 in the Big East, and they’ll drop to 1-4 tonight. Syracuse is the #1 ranked team in the country, and legitimately the most talented team in the land. They are 17-0, scoring 80 PPG and shooting nearly 50% from the field as a team. They have the more skilled players at basically every position on the court in this match-up, and we can expect a convincing win.
‘Nova is coming off a win versus Depaul, but the Wildcats are 0-4 ATS L4 games following a win. More importantly, the Wildcats are an ugly 3-14 ATS L17 games versus Big East opponents and just 16-36-1 ATS L53 games overall. Syracuse, on the other hand, is 20-8 ATS L28 on the road and 7-3 ATS L10 Big East games. Look for these trends to extend tonight.
Good luck, Nick

*10* ***NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND ANNIHILATOR*** (INSANE 26-10, 72%) Show Details |
| Game: |
NY Giants Vs. Atlanta Falcons |
| Date: |
01/08/12 1:00 pm ET |
| Type: |
Points Spread |
Pick: |
NY Giants |
| Reason: |
Our 10* Top Play is on the New York Giants over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon. The home field advantage will prove beneficial for the G-Men as they knock off Atlanta in this first round match-up. Lay the points with NY on Sunday.
The Giants have won three of their last four games SU to close out the regular season. They’ve looked rock solid on both sides of the ball over the last few weeks, and the team is healthy and poised for a playoff run. While I’m not sure if they’ll be able to go far into the playoffs, I am confident they’ll defeat Atlanta at home in this match-up. The Giants are averaging an impressive 32 PPG over the last three wins, and the defense has been getting after the passer in Giants’ fashion since the return of Osi Umenyora.
The Falcons struggled on the road this season, going just 4-4 SU, and I expect they’ll struggle in this match-up. The defense will be hard-pressed to slow down Eli Manning and company in this game. Note that the Falcons’ pass defense ranks 20th in the league, allowing 236.6 YPG through the air. The Falcons are just 1-4 ATS L5 playoff games and 0-4 ATS L4 games versus teams with a winning record.
The Giants are 5-1 ATS L6 playoff games and 4-0 ATS L4 games versus teams with a winning record. The G-Men are the more battle-tested team, and I expect they’ll be the better team on Sunday playing at home. Look for a solid all-around performance from NY on Sunday. They’ve won the last three meetings SU between these teams, and they’ll make it 4-0 this weekend. Play on the Giants.
Good luck, Nick

*10* ***NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND TOP TOTAL*** (AMAZING 41-26 NFL YTD!) Show Details |
| Game: |
Houston Texans Vs. Cincinnati Bengals |
| Date: |
01/07/12 4:30 pm ET |
| Type: |
Over - Under |
| Reason: |
Our 10* Selection is for the Bengals and Texans to finish OVER the total. We have a favorable number set at 38.5 points, and I expect the total to soar over this mark. Look for both teams to find the end zone a few times in this match-up, and for the total to finish well over the mark.
The Bengals and Texans are solid defensive teams, but I expect the offensive firepower to show up ready to play in this game. For the Bengals, Andy Dalton and AJ Green will move the ball all afternoon. The best rookie duo in the NFL this season combined for 7 TDs, and I expect they’ll add to this number on Saturday. For the Texans, keep an eye on Arian Foster, who is poised for a big game. He was inactive last week and did not get much national attention this season. Look for him to get a bunch of carries and find the end zone at least once. These are two teams that combine for almost 700 total yards per game, and we can expect both teams to move the ball and find the end zone several times in this match-up. Look for both teams to score in the twenties and for the total to soar.
The Bengals and Texans have combined to score at least 39 points in five of their last six meetings. The over is 6-2 L8 Bengals games as the underdog, 9-4 L13 overall and 10-2 L12 versus the AFC. For the Texans, the over is 4-0 L4 in January and 26-9 L35 versus teams with a winning record. Look for these trends to extend on the turf in Houston on Saturday. Play the over.
Good luck, Nick

Los Angeles Lakers Vs. Denver Nuggets |
| Date: |
12/31/11 3:35 pm ET |
| Type: |
Points Spread |
Pick: |
Denver Nuggets |
| Reason: |
Our 10* Selection is on the Denver Nuggets over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday afternoon. The Nuggets have been putting up a bunch of points this season, and quite frankly have looked much better than I expected for this early in the season. On the other hand, the Lakers have been less than stellar, and while they’ve won two in a row, I expect they’ll struggle to keep up with the Nuggets in this match-up. Denver has eclipsed the 100-point mark in each of its games, averaging an impressive 111.3 PPG to lead all NBA teams. The Lakers are averaging a full 8 points per game less at 93.3 PPG, ranked just 18th in the league. The Nuggets did not play sharp defensively in the team’s loss to the Trailblazers on Thursday, and I expect they’ll be more focused on the defensive side of the ball in this match-up. Note that the Nuggets are an impressive 11-3 ATS L14 games after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game. Denver’s youth and speed will force the Lakers to make untimely turnovers, and I expect the Nuggets to wear the older Lakers players down a bit over the course of this game. Note that Denver has forced at least 20 turnovers in each of its games and leads the league with 16 steals per contest. Denver can easily win this game straight up, and we can feel confident taking them with the help of the points.
The Nuggets are 20-8 ATS L28 road games and 8-2-1 ATS L11 after a loss. Los Angeles is just 1-5 ATS L6 games versus Western Conference opponents. In this series, the Nuggets are 5-1-1 ATS L7 meetings and 4-1-1 ATS L6 in Los Angeles.
Good luck, Nick
