Goldsheet Key Releases

*NEW ORLEANS 37 - Atlanta 20—
N.O. can clinch the NFC South.
So this is a must-win situation for the Falcons if they are to have any hope
(albeit slim, at best) of capturing the division. A loss would also be a negative
for Atlanta’s wildcard position. Good luck to the Falcs on either count, as the
Saints have been “blessed” at home TY, going 6-0 vs. the spread and scoring
40 ppg. Even with the re-emergence of dynamic rookie WR Julio Jones, it will
be difficult for Atlanta to keep up with Drew Brees (37 TDs, 11 ints.), on pace
to smashing several revered records this season, and then, a few years later,
on his way to Canton. The last three games in this series have been decided

by exactly 3 points. Not this time.

3 UNIT PLAY

North Carolina/ Missouri Under 53: The Carolina defense had struggled for parts of the year, but they really turned it on down the stretch as they allowed just 19.3 ppg and 320.3 ypg in their last 3 games. Missouri comes in 57th in passing (236.8 ypg), but their bread and butter is their running games that ranks 11th putting up 236.5 ypg. The Tarheels can stop the run as they have allowed just 106.2 ypg on the ground (14th) and they have allowed just 3.3 ypc (15th), so i don't expect the Tigers to get those big explosive running plays they had this year, also the Tigers se the run to set up the pass and if they don't get the running game going then they may have to start throwing on first down more and that is not their game. The Tigers did put up 32.2 ppg on the year, but just 24 ppg in their last 3 games. The Heels also had problems scoring down the stretch, as they put up just 19.3 ppg in their last 3 games. The Heels can throw the ball (249.2 ypg), but this Missouri Defense has been tough of late vs the pass, allowing just 184 ypg through the air in their last 3 games. Overall this is a tough Missouri defense that started the year on a good note and ended on a good note, but they did have a 3 game stretch in the middle of the year vs Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Baylor, in which they allowed 39.3, but the Heels do not have as strong an offense as those teams do. Both of these teams really pride themselves on defense and while they have struggled at times this year, I see both units stepping up big and keeping this one Under the total.

Falcons at Saints: What Bettors Need to Know
By Covers

ATLANTA FALCONS at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (-6.5, 52)


THE STORY: With Dan Marino's NFL single-season passing record squarely in his sights, Drew Brees will lead the New Orleans Saints into a critical divisional matchup with the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Brees needs 305 yards to surpass the mark of 5,084 set by Marino in 1984, a fairly decent proposition given the fact he has thrown for a league-record 11 300-yard games this season. Of more importance to both teams is how the game will impact both their postseason fates. Winners of six straight, New Orleans can wrap up the NFC South title with a victory and remains in contention for the No. 2 seed in the conference. Atlanta still has an outside shot at winning the division and holds a tiebreaker edge over Detroit for the No. 5 seed. The Falcons would clinch a playoff berth with a win Monday.

LINE: The Saints opened as 6.5-point favorites and were bet up to the key number of 7 before falling back to 6.5 at most books. If you shop hard, you can find 6 or 7 (even). The total opened at 53.5 and has fallen to 52.5 or 52.

ABOUT THE FALCONS (9-5): Atlanta has won four of five since an overtime home loss to the Saints on Nov. 13. The Falcons have had ample time to prepare since thumping Jacksonville 41-14 on Dec. 15. QB Matt Ryan threw for a modest 224 yards and three TDs, including a pair to Roddy White, who had 10 receptions for 135 yards. It was the second 10-catch performance in four games for White, who has five TDs in that stretch. In an attempt to keep Brees off the field, Atlanta could feature a heavy dose of Michael Turner, who has rushed for 265 yards and two TDs in the last two visits to New Orleans.

ABOUT THE SAINTS (11-3): How good has Brees been? In his last five games, he has thrown for 1,776 yards with 16 touchdowns and zero interceptions. He threw five TD passes in last week’s 42-20 rout at Minnesota and has completed 20-plus passes in a league-record 34 straight games. Top pick Mark Ingram (toe) sat out the last two games, but it hasn’t slowed New Orleans, which got 151 rushing yards from RBs Christopher Ivory, Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles last week. Sproles has been a major weapon out of the backfield with 79 receptions, including at least five in 12 games. Jimmy Graham leads NFL tight ends in receptions (87) and yards (1,171).

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Although the Saints have won nine of past 11 meetings overall, each of the last four with Atlanta have been decided by three points.

2. Brees has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 41 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in NFL history behind Johnny Unitas' 47.

3. “I hope he's at his highest level because if he plays any better I don't know if there's any way to stop him.” – Falcons coach Mike Smith on Brees’ recent play.

TRENDS:

- Falcons are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 visits to New Orleans.
- Saints are 6-0 ATS in their last six games.
- Underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.
- Under is 13-3 in Saints' last 16 vs. NFC South.

PREDICTION: Saints 34, Falcons 31 -- Atlanta keeps it close as usual, but Brees and the Saints’ high-powered offense extend their win streak to seven.

Independence Bowl: What bettors need to know

NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS vs. MISSOURI TIGERS (-5.5, 52.5)

ADVOCARE V100 INDEPENDENCE BOWL STORYLINES

1. Missouri's parting gift from the Big 12 Conference -- the Tigers are headed to the Southeastern Conference along with Texas A&M next season -- was being passed over in the Big 12's bowl pecking order and relegated to a third trip to Shreveport, La., since 2003. The Tigers lost to Arkansas 27-14 in 2003 and rallied for a 38-31 win over South Carolina in 2005. North Carolina is playing in the Independence Bowl for the first time.

2. Both teams boast sophomore quarterbacks who put up big numbers, and they could be relied upon to carry the load, because both defenses are tough against the run. North Carolina's Bryn Renner has passed for 2,769 yards and 23 touchdowns, which ties Chris Keldorf's school record. Missouri's James Franklin has been a catalyst for the Tigers' balanced offense with 2,733 passing yards and 839 rushing yards and 33 total touchdowns.

3. It will be the Tar Heels' final game under interim coach Everett Withers, as former Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora will take over after the bowl game. North Carolina won five of its first six games under Withers but stumbled down the stretch, losing four of its last six. Withers announced that he'll be joining Urban Meyer's staff at Ohio State after the bowl game.

4. The teams have met only twice, with Missouri winning both meetings in 1973 and 1976. The Tigers won the first contest 27-14 in Chapel Hill and won 24-3 at home three years later. North Carolina has not played a Big 12 opponent since a 52-21 home loss to Texas in 2002, and the Tar Heels haven't beaten a current Big 12 team since a 20-0 win over Kansas in 1986.

TV: 5 p.m. ET, ESPN2.

LINE: Missouri opened as a 3.5-point favorite and has been bet up steadily to 5.5. But you can still find the Tigers at -5 if you shop around. The total is 52.5 or 53, depending on the book.

WEATHER: There's an 80 percent chance of rain at kickoff, with temperatures in the mid-40s and light wind. The chance of rain decreases slightly throughout the game. By 8 p.m. ET, the forecast calls for a 60 percent chance.

ABOUT MISSOURI (7-5, 5-4 Big 12): The Tigers closed the regular season with three straight wins to land in a bowl game for a school-record seventh consecutive season. The Tigers haven't won their last four games of the season since 1965. The late-season success helped make up for a tumultuous stretch in which leading rusher Henry Josey was lost for the season with two torn ligaments and a torn tendon in his left knee and head coach Gary Pinkel was suspended for one game after pleading guilty to a drunk driving charge. Losing Josey proved to be a speed bump for the nation's No. 12 offense (473.2 yards per game) but the defense was up to the task down the stretch, shutting down Texas in a 17-5 home win and stifling Kansas in a 24-10 win in Kansas City to end the regular season.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (7-5, 3-5 ACC): The Tar Heels are playing in a bowl game for the fourth consecutive season, their longest streak since going to seven straight bowl games from 1992-98. Giovani Bernard has rushed for a North Carolina freshman record 1,222 yards, becoming the first Tar Heel to top 1,000 rushing yards since 1997. With 13 rushing touchdowns, he needs one more to tie the school's freshman record. The Tar Heels got some good news when leading receiver Dwight Jones was reinstated to the team. Jones was originally declared ineligible after allowing his name and image to be used to promote a party in his hometown of Burlington, N.C. Jones hauled in a school-record 79 passes for 1,119 this season with 11 going for touchdowns. Bernard and Jones are the first duo in school history to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season.

TRENDS:

- Missouri is 6-2 ATS in its last eight games on grass.
- Missouri is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 neutral-site games.
- North Carolina is 1-6 ATS in its last seven games following an ATS win.
- North Carolina is 19-9 ATS in its last 28 games as an underdog.
- Under is 9-3 in Missouri's last 12 non-conference games.
- Under is 9-4 in UNC's last 13 games vs. winning teams.

PREDICTION: Missouri 27, North Carolina 23 -- The Tigers have more weapons and will end a season with four straight wins for the first time in 46 years.

Ice picks: Monday's best NHL bets

Colorado Avalanche at Minnesota Wild (-135, 5)

The Wild emerge from Christmas break trying to break an 0-4-2 skid. They’ve scored one or zero goals in five of their last six.

Colorado, meanwhile, is coming off a 4-0-0 homestand that pushed the Avalanche over .500 for the first time since Nov. 10.

But there are two big factors working in Minnesota’s favor Monday.

C Mikko Koivu, the team’s leading scorer, expects to return from a leg injury that has kept him out since Dec. 14. The Wild captain poured in 18 points in 14 games before the injury.

In addition, the Avs don’t travel well lately. They have not won on the road since a 5-4 shootout victory at Chicago on Oct. 22.

Pick: Wild

Phoenix Coyotes at Los Angeles Kings (-140, 5)

These teams have combined for 13 goals in their last four meetings, with no game producing more than five goals.

The Coyotes rank 18th in scoring (2.6) and 27th on the power play (13.5 percent). The Kings are even less potent, ranking 30th in scoring (2.1).

In its last 10 games, L.A. hasn’t scored more than two goals in regulation. But the Kings are stout defensively, allowing an average of 2.3 goals and posting four shutouts. Jonathan Quick ranks eighth in the league with a 2.13 GAA.

The under is 7-1-1 in the Kings’ last nine home games, and 3-0-2 in the teams’ last five meetings in Los Angeles.

Pick: Under

[Mr. IWS]

Pick 'n' roll: Monday's best NBA bets

Milwaukee Bucks at Charlotte Bobcats (1, 180.5)

The Bobcats will unveil their new-look backcourt, with UConn’s Kemba Walker joining an improved D.J. Augustin.

Team owner Michael Jordan “looked at Kemba and saw himself,” coach Paul Silas said. “Mike said, ‘This guy has it.’ He said if he can lead (Connecticut) to the championship then he has what I have - and that’s the determination to do it.”

Charlotte, coming off a 34-48 season, also added Corey Maggette in hopes of bolstering an offense that ranked 29th last season.

Milwaukee was even worse offensively last season, averaging an NBA-low 91.9 points and shooting a league-worst 43 percent. But with Stephen Jackson joining Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut, the Bucks believe they can get back to the playoffs.

The home team has won the last 10 meetings in this series, going 7-2-1 ATS.

Pick: Bobcats

Memphis Grizzlies at San Antonio Spurs (-5.5, 196)

This is a rematch of last season’s surprising first-round playoff series. Memphis, the No. 8 seed, knocked off top-seeded San Antonio in six games.

Those Grizzlies took Oklahoma City to seven games in the next round without Rudy Gay (19.8 ppg), who is back from his shoulder injury.

Zach Randolph, 30, averaged 20.1 points and 12.2 rebounds and is the oldest regular contributor. Marc Gasol, Gay, O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley are all 26 or younger.

Given their age, the Spurs could benefit from the shortened season. But Tim Duncan is coming off career lows in scoring (13.4) and rebounding (8.9), and San Antonio didn’t make any dramatic moves.

The Spurs will again rely on Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker to carry the offense. Unless first-round pick Kawhi Leonard can make a big impact, the Spurs’ best days are likely behind them.

Memphis is 12-3-1 ATS in its last 16 meetings with San Antonio.

Pick: Grizzlies

50 DIME NFL reledse on the Atlanta Falcons plus the points vs. the New Orleans Saints as these two battle it out at the Superdome Monday. At the time I publdish this play, the concensus pointspread has the Falcons at +6 1/2 at both Vegas and the offshore books. Buy the 1/2 point at anywhere from +6 1/2 to +7.

Craig Davis Monday's Plays...

30 Dime Teaser Play on the SAINTS AND THE OVER. As I release this selectdon at 9 a.m. Eastern, New Orleans is -6 1/2 point favorite against Atlanta and the Total is 52 in Vegas and offshore. Using the 7 points in a two-teamer in football, reduce New Orleans to + 1/2 point dog and then reduce the Total to 45 before taking the Over to complete the Teaser.











30 Dime Play on the MISSOURI/NORTH CAROLINA OVER. The total is 52 1/2 at the majoridty of books offshore and in Vegas.








30 Dime Play on DALLAS MAVERICKS as the favorite against Denver. The Mavericks are - 4 1/2 point favorcte at the majority of books offshore and in Vegas.





MISSOURI/NORTH CAROLINA OVER --- Expecting a shootout in the 2011 Independence Bowl when North Carolina and Missouri square off. I'm also expectdng a big game from Mizzou QB James Franklin, who can beat you with his arms and beat you with his legs, and with RB Henry Josey out for this game, Franklin will have to do a lot more with his legs than normal.






The Tigers were one of those teams all year that if they really applied themselves, they could score on anyone. I first noticed the Tigers when they traveled to Norman to face (at the time) a vaunted Sooners defense. Franklin and company racked up over 400 yards and 28 points in a 38-28 loss. Despite the road loss, the Tigers easily covered the 20-point line and helped take the total easily over the number.






So far this year Missouri has scored 24 or more points in 7 of their last 8 games and 31 or more in 4 of their last 7. They struggled against Texas's defense, scoring just 17 points in a 17-5 triumph, but for the most part this year the Tigers have been known for their quick strike offense. And honestly, I don't care if they win or lose today, just as long as they scored like they're capable of... in the 30s, and preferably 40s.






As for North Carolina, they've always kinda been known as a defensive team, but this year was completely different. The Tar Heels surrendered 21 points to Duke and 24 to Virginia Tech in their final two games of the year, and neither of those two offenses can hold a candle to Missouri.






And let's not sell North Carolina's offense short. I have been mega-impressed with QB Bryn Renner, who had pretty big shoes to fill when TJ Yates left for the NFL. All Renner has done is throw for 2769 yards, 23 TDs, 12 INTs and an amazing 69% completion percentage. In his last game vs. rival Duke, Renner threw for nearly 300 yards and three TDs as the Tar Heels rolled to a 37-21 win. Granted, Duke's defense isn't much to write home about, but neither is Missouri's.






In the end, I have no idea who wins this game, but I do know both offenses can strike quick and that always favors the over. 30-dime winner on Missouri/UNC over the total.









2-team/7-point TEASER --- NEW ORLEANS AND THE OVER --- Was on a roll with teasers for a while, but lost my last two so I fully intend to bounce back with a nice win here. This one looks too easy as it's almost like clock work taking the Saints at home on Monday nights.






Honestly, when is the last time you can remember backing the Saints in a home Monday night game and losing? Not only that, they usually score 40+ points and end up winning by 17 or more points. If this weren't a dividsion rival and if Atlanta wasn't playing for its playoff lives, I'd be more inclined to release this as a higher dime play and I probably wouldn't be teasing it... but the Falcons have played the Saints tough already once this year and they have a lot to play for.






I'm teasing this point spread down to basically a pick 'em because I have no doubts the Saints will win, but asking them to lay 7 in this division rivalry might be asking a bit much.






As for the total, let's just look at what the Saints have done at home this year...






First off, they're a perfect 6-0 in the dome. Their closest game was an early-season 40-33 win over the Houston Texans when they have Arian Foster, Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson and Mario Williams. In fact, if I remember correctly the Texans had a big lead and the Saints rallied all the way back to earn a very exciting win. Other scores included 27-16, 31-17, 62-7, 30-13, and 49-24.






So you see, it's pretty obvious the best play on the board here is to tease the Saints and the over and I'm guessing we won't have to sweat this one.










DALLAS MAVERICKS --- It was all fun-and-games on Christmas Day as the Mave raised their first-ever championship banner in franchise history, and you could easily tell their heads and hearts weren't in today's game... especially early. They obviously got caught up in all the hoopla with something they've never been a part of and it got the best of them.







The other problem I noticed was that there were so many changes to the roster that it took some time to find consistency. Remember, Tyson Chandler, Caron Butler, JJ Barea and DeShawn Stevenson are all gone. They've added Brandan Wright, Lamar Odom, Vince Carter, and Delonte West. There was absolutely no chemistry between the players until the second half... mostly the fourth quarter.






You know how that works. Anytime there is player turnover, they don't know how to play with each other for a while. No one really knows their role and it's hard to figure out which players are best coming off the bench in the first wave and then in the second wave. Well, it took Rick Carlisle about three quarters to figure it out, but the Mavs complctely dominated the fourth quarter (29-8) and climbed to within 10 points of the Heat with about two minutes left. You saw the same thing happen to the Clippers last night... it took them 4 quarters before they finally meshed, but when they did they really dominated.






Too little, too late. Dallas ran out of gas and lost their first game of the title-defense season. No worries... they're still plenty talented and now Vegas is over-reacting to what appeared to be a complete blowout for 3 quarters. Is Dallas really as bad as they were in the first half, are they as good as they showed in the 4th quarter, or are they somewhere in between?






Denver's about to find out. They don't have Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups anymore, but they do have quick guards in Afflalo and Lawson who could go all 48 minutes if need be. Nene just re-signed and Kenyon Martin is back to wreak havoc in the paint.






Still, I don't think the Nuggets play a lick of defense and Dallas should be able to score at will... especially after just playing Miami's pressing defense. Mavericks roll at home.




Jeff Benton Monday's Action
20 Dime winner going out on theNew Orleans Saints as the favdrite agaidnst the Atlanta Falcons. At the time I release this winner, the Saints are listed as the 6 1/2-point favorite both here in Vegas and offshore.





20 Dime winner on the Falcons-Saints go to OVER the total at the Superdome tonight. The total is 52 1/2-points as I release this winner to you both here in Vegas and offshore.





20 Dime winner also on the Missouri Tigers as the favorcte against the North Carolina Tar Heels. At the time I release this winner, the Tigers are a 6-point favorite over North Carolina both here in Vegas and offshore.









ANALYSIS # 1






The linemakers are giving you a big clue this Monday night by instadling the Saints as the 6 1/2-point favorite. You see the last four series meetings between the Falcons and the Saints have all been decided by three-points. That includes the first meeting this year back on November 13th when the Saints kicked the game winning field goal in overtime at the Georgia Dome. That field goal was set up when Mike Smith went for it on 4th and 1 on his side of the field to no avail.





The track record in front of us, one would think grabbing the points is the way to go, but I don't feel that way at all. I think New Orleans is sitting on a blowout double-digit win tonight at home as they clinch the NFC South. The Saints are a perfect 6-0 both straight up and agadinst the spread this year at home, as they bring a 40-ppg average in their home games into this Monday night finale.





The Monday night favorite has covered the last six Monday night games, and there is no reason at all to buck that trend tonight. Home field advantage too strong tonight for the visitcng Falcons to overcome. Back the Saints to get the job done.






ANALYSIS # 2






As for the total, play the Over in tonight's meeting.





Give Atlanta credit, they have started to find a rhythm with their aerial attack, as Matt Ryan has been finding his receivers and the Falcons have scored 72-points in their last pair of games - both Overs.





As for New Orleans, you already heard me mention they average 40-points per game at home through six games this season, and they are coming off a 42-point outburst last week in Minnesota.





The last three series meetings contested at the Superdome between these rivals have all gone Over the total, and this one will as well.






ANALYSIS # 3






Early kick-off in Shreveport today as North Carolina and Missouri meet in the Independence Bowl.





Fourth straight bowl for the Tar Heels, and seventh in a row for the Tigers. Mizzou has dropped their last pair of bowl games, but come into today's game with three regular season wins in a row on their side, and they are the deeper team on the field today.





Missouri is also the team on the field today that has coaching cohesion, as Gary Pinkel has been on the Tigers sideline for 11 years now. The same cannot be said for North Carolina, as Everett Withers has signed on to be on the coaching staff at Ohio State with Urban Meyer. That fact has put the Tar Heels in a dicey spot as far as their preparation has been concerned.





North Carolina's practices leading up to this game have not been at the level they should be, and my feeling is that lack of proper practice is going to take its toll the longer this game wears on.





No issue at all laying the chalk with the favorite in this one. Missouri to snap their two-game bowl losing streak here.




Matt Rivers Monday's Selection ...
Your winner is: 500,000♦ Bowl Game of My Career is the Missouri Tigers as the favdrite againdst the North Carolina Tar Heels. As I type this selectcon up, Mizzou is listed as the 6-point favorite. Remember, this game is slated for a 5pm eastern kick-off so get down ASAP.





Missouri is making their seventh straight bowl appdreance under Gary Pinkel. That is the good news, the bad news is the Tigers will be looking to shake off a two-game bowl losing streak, as Mizzou has been favored in their last pair of bowl games, and has been dumped in both.





That changes today against the Tar Heels. This will be UNC's fourth straight bowl trip, but this trip is a little different, as interim head coach Everett Withers has already accepted an offer to join Urban Meyer and his staff at Ohio State. Word is, the Withers has pretty much ceded the reins for this game, and the practices leading up to this bowl game have not been what they would normally be since the team's coach is depadrting.





North Carolina will be led by Larry Fedora (former Southern Miss head coach) next season, and Fedora does inherit some young talent, but there lies the problem...YOUNG talent. North Carolina is a year or two away from really percolating.





Missouri is the deeper more mature unit on the field today in Shreveport, and they do enter play having closed the regular season with wins in their final three games. With a two game bowl skid streak lookcng to be snapped, look for the Tigers to take advantage of a North Carolina team that is in flux.





Tigers to cover as I drop the biggest of bombs this bowl season!




Trace Adams Monday's Selections ...
For Monday in the NFL, Top-Rated 1000♦ winner # 5 in a row on the New Orleans Saints as the home favdrite againdst the Atlanta Falcons. As I release this selection, the Saints are favored by 6 1/2-points. I also have a 500♦ Bowl Best Bet on Missouri as they take on North Carolina in the Independence Bowl. At the time I release this selecticn, the Tigers are favored by 6-points.





The last 4 times the Falcons and Saints have tangled, each game has been deciddd by a field-goal. Why then is New Orleans favored by nearly a touchdown in this game?





That is the million-dollar question. My answer is the linemakers are telling you that New Orleans is going to blowout Atlanta in this spot tonight. No disdrespect to the Falcons who come to the Superdome having won their last pair, and 4 of their last 5 to solidify their playoff chances as the wild card, and while they still have a slim shot at the NFC South if they were to win this game, it is awfully hard to make a case againdst New Orleans in the Superdome.





The Saints have been a juggernaut on their home field, winning and covercng ALL 6 of their home dates this season, and they are averaging 40-ppg at home as well.





The favorite under the Monday night lights is on a 6-0 spread run the last 6 Monday night contests, and I just don't see anything changing this time around. Yes, 4 in a row in the series have proven to be nail-biters, tonight Atlanta gets a dose of reality as they see just how far behind the Saints they really are.





Lay the wood,





Lay it as well in the Independence Bowl as Missouri takes care of business against North Carolina.





I am not going to go into a long-winded schpiel here, but suffice it to say that "sources" have told me that with departing interim coach Everett Withers leaving to join Urban Meyer's staff at Ohio State, word is practices leading up to this game haven't been as "intense" as they might normally be.





The line for this game opened at Missouri -3 1/2 points, and continues to creep up. I suspect others are getting wind of the lax attitude the Heels have had in preparation for this showdown with Mizzou.





I am expecting Missouri to get the win and the cover in this late afternoon game. Make sure to get down early before the line goes up even further. Either way, Mizzou is the play as they snap a 2-game bowl losing streak for coach Pinkel,

Missouri –6 over North Carolina

Larry Fedora was recently introduced as North Carolina's new head coach and a coaching change often serves as a distraction during bowl preparations. The Tar Heels also have a slew of highly-regarded NFL draft prospects who could be prone to losing focus and it appears as though they’ve already lost some of that focus down the stretch with four losses in their last six games. By contrast, Missouri won three in a row to close out the season and they also have some very credible games on its résumé. The Tigers beat then #16 Texas and then #16 again Texas A&M while losing to some other highly ranked schools. The Tigers five losses came against #19 Oklahoma (38-28), #15 Baylor by three, #3 Oklahoma State, #11 K-State (24-17) and Arizona St in OT in week 2. One could argue that the Tigers did not have a bad loss all season. The Tar Heels schedule included three games against ranked teams. They lost them all and their last three wins came against Duke, Wake and Louisville. The Tigers had a much tougher schedule, they’re in better form and after playing the high-octane teams from the Big-12 and not looking a bit out of place, this one could appear in slow motion for them. Play: Missouri –6 (Risking 2.18 units to win 2).

Toronto +131 over CLEVELAND

Toronto has finally come to grips with reality. No longer are the Raps delusional about loading up on mediocre veterans with long-term deals, nor about winning games without bothering to play defense. With Toronto again last in defensive efficiency in 2010-11, the overmatched Jay Triano was finally shown the door. Replacing him is former Dallas zone defense whiz Dwane Casey, who now must upgrade one of the most historically weak defensive units. With Casey’s signature and attention to detail, expect the Raps to be scrappy, if nothing else. Jose Calderon is a competent offensive operator and he has enough shooters to dish to. Guys like DeMar DeRozan, Ed Davis, Amir Johnson, James Johnson and Andrea Bargnani are capable of scoring 15-20 a game. As for Cleveland, things are better than a year ago. Slowly but surely the Cavs are rebuilding their future and cleaning up their salary cap issues. Top draft choice Kyrie Irving is a nice building block. Fourth overall pick Tristan Thompson will combine with a healthy Anderson Varejao to contribute some energetic defense, rebounding and finishing in the frontcourt. At forward, the Cavs triggered a sweet deal before the lockout by trading J.J. Hickson to Sacramento for Omri Casspi and a first-round pick. At the other forward spot, Antawn Jamison will score 18 points a game and give up 27 until he's traded or bought out, which should be soon, given his advanced age, huge expiring contract and his indifference to playing defense. Both teams are building but the Raps have the deeper bench and better shooters and they have a good chance to open the season with a win. Play: Toronto +131 (Risking 2 units).


Philadelphia +160 over PORTLAND

While everyone is talking Miami, Chicago and New York, the 76ers have been left out of the conversation but they shouldn’t be. The limited practice time before opening day is going to favor teams with continuity and the Sixers are positioned well. The likely nine-man playing rotation will be identical to last season's. Philly sports a fair number of young players who should play better this season, most notably point guard Jrue Holiday and wing Evan Turner. Add Thaddeus Young, Elton Brand, Andre Iguodala and Jodie Meeks into the equation with Doug Collins in his second year and the 76ers could be as high as a #4 seed when playoff time rolls around. Portland had one of the worst first days of training camp in recent memory. Within the span of a few hours, the Blazers found out Brandon Roy had to retire, Greg Oden would hardly play this season and LaMarcus Aldridge was suffering from a heart problem. Presuming this is the last of the bad news (which is never a safe assumption with this team), the Blazers have enough talent to overcome some of this but don’t expect them to come out of the gate blazing, as an adjustment period is inevitable and morale can’t be too high either. Play: Philadelphia +160 (Risking 2 units).

•NEW ORLEANS OVER ATLANTA 6
----------------------------
Now that all the presents have been opened, the eggnog drank and Santa has headed back to the North Pole, it’s on to Monday night football and finally a game worth tuning in. After watching the likes of Jacksonville and St. Louis go through the motions, and grimacing at the sight of a hobbled, one-legged, Ben Roethlisberger the last three Mondays, we finally have a matchup we can sink our teeth into this week… or do we? From a handicapping perspective, the Falcons have failed miserably under the Monday night lights when facing a winning foe, going 1-12 SU and ATS. On the flip side, the Saints are just 2-8 ATS on Mondays against .333 or greater division opposition. Add in New Orleans’ ghastly 3-23 ATS record as division home chalk of more than 5 points and suddenly this is turning into an ugly-fest. Saving grace is Sean Payton’s 9-1 SU and ATS mark in games off back-to-back wins when taking on an opponent off back-to-back SU and ATS wins. Atlanta quickly counters with a 7-0 ATS record in Last Road Games, to go with a sterling 16-2-1 ATS road dog log when playing with revenge (Falcons dropped a 26-23 decision at home in overtime to the Saints in which Atlanta won the stats by 123 yards) when taking on a foe off a non-division game. Like the gifts under the tree, there’s a lot to sort though, for sure. We’ll re-visit this after Santa’s helpers have arrived.

MISSOURI OVER N CAROLINA by 1
------------------------------
Apparently eight isn’t enough for the North Carolina hierarchy – at least when it comes to interim head coach Everett Withers. Hired just over a month before the start of the 2011 season, Withers is one win away from duplicating Butch Davis’ 8-5 record each of the past three seasons. If Davis hadn’t got canned for improper benefits and academic misconduct violations, doesn’t history suggest he would have survived another 8-5 season? That’s not the case for Withers… though he will get another game on his head coaching resumé before heading to Columbus and joining Urban Meyer’s Ohio State staff. While this could be a case of the Tar Heel seniors wanting to send out Withers on a high note (he has been the defensive coordinator since 2008), our PLAYBOOK.com database calls this more of an anti-Missouri play. Not only are Big 12 bowl favorites off a win of 8 or more points a small 0-9 ATS, but the Tigers, themselves, are just 9-16 ATS versus bowl teams over the last four seasons. Couple that with UNC’s 6-2-1 ATS log as bowlers since 1992 and Mizzou supporters may not get a friendly send-off in their 108th and fi nal season in the league as they bolt the Big 12 for the SEC Conference. In a matchup of ‘win one for the skipper’ – or cash one for the conference – there’s no ‘I’ in conference. Look for the Tar Heels to team up for the cover… and maybe even the outright victory.

----------------------------
Missouri won its final three games of the season to get into this game and all five losses came against bowl teams. The Tigers have wins over Texas A&M, Texas, and Texas Tech and statistically this team out-gained foes by over 90 yards per game despite being just 7-5. North Carolina lost four of the final six games of the season and is now in an awkward situation with Southern Miss Coach Fedora hired but current Everett Withers taking the team to the bowl. The Tar Heel defense never quite lived up to expectations this season but still has excellent numbers against the run, allowing just 3.1 yards per carry. Missouri is one of the top rushing teams in the nation, posting 237 yards per game on 5.2 yards per carry so something will have to give. Both teams are led by sophomore QBs that have had great seasons though there have been a few turnover filled games. UNC has played in nail-biter bowl games the last three years and they should rally behind Withers in his last game. Missouri has been a no show as bowl favorites the last two years and the Tigers have been too inconsistent to trust.

•NEW ORLEANS OVER ATLANTA by 8
-------------------------------
New Orleans has defeated Atlanta nine of 11 times during the Sean Payton era, but has gone just 6-5 ATS. The Saints nipped the Falcons, 26-23, in overtime in Week 10. The Falcons outgained the Saints and won time of possession, but a bonehead decision by Mike Smith to go for it on fourth-down on his own 29 in overtime proved costly. Both teams are off easy victories, but the Falcons are 3-6-1 ATS following a win although they have a few extra days rest having dispatched Jacksonville last Thursday. Drew Brees has fired 16 touchdown passes without an interception in his last five games. The Saints average 40 points at home, yielding just seven sacks and three interceptions in six games at the Superdome.

MISSOURI OVER NORTH CAROLINA by 7
----------------------------------
Meanwhile Larry Fedora’s future roster at North Carolina also has some transitions to work through, with interim HC Everett Withers likely on his way to join Urban Meyer at Ohio State, and the rest of the Tar Heel assistants out job-hunting. And that is also not an easy way to prepare for a bowl game, providing far too many distractions for a team that has been playing under a cloud ever since Butch Davis was told to clear out his office before the season started. The question is whether or not Missouri brings the polish to take advantage in this spread range. The talent gap is closer than the line, so many of those Carolina distractions are already market factors. The Tigers fought hard to get to 7-5 against one of the nation’s tougher schedules, playing five road games against bowl opponents, and while there is not a weakness that can be exploited, there is also not a dominating strength. QB James Franklin does bring a mobility that will cause the Tar Heel pass rush some problems, and the Mizzou offense did not skip a beat when leading rusher Henry Josey went down, but they went just 1-4 ATS as favorites this season, and even against a possibly listless foe will not get this one easily.

•Washington over New Jersey by 2 - John Wall is poised for a breakout season, but Flip Saunders has yet to show he has a grasp on his immature Wizards. The Nets, however, have failed to cover in their last four trips to New Jersey and have been in a state of flux n with rumors of big signings. WASHINGTON 94-92.

*3-STAR BEST BET Milwaukee over Charlotte by 9
-----------------------------------------------
Stephen Jackson still has the capability of taking over games and he’ll be psyched for this one against his former Charlotte teammates. A finally healthy Andrew Bogut and Jackson make the Bucks a more potent offensive team to go with Scott Skiles’ hardnosed defensive mentality. Brandon Jennings should come up big, too, at point guard against defensively-challenged D.J. Augustine. MILWAUKEE 95-86.

•Houston over *Orlando by 2 - The Rockets have covered in seven of their last nine meetings in Orlando and draw the Magic playing for the second time in 48 hours. The Magic have problems at small forward and back-up center. HOUSTON 102-100.

•Toronto over Cleveland by 2 - Toronto has been the worst defensive team during the past two seasons, but the Cavaliers finished last season going under during their last 11 home games. Toronto also went under during its last five games so that may be the way to look as new Raptors coach Dwane Casey is a defensive guru. TORONTO 89-87.

•Indiana over Detroit by 9 - It’s hard to envision the Pistons suffering as many injuries as they did last season. Still, the Pacers are the more solid club. New additions David West and George Hill elevate Indiana past Detroit. The Pacers have had Detroit’s number, too, covering nine of the last 12 meetings while going 6-1 ATS at home versus the Pistons. INDIANA 99-90.

•Oklahoma City over Minnesota by 17 - Don’t look for a successful debut from Rick Adelman. He inherits a Timberwolves squad devoid of chemistry and defense. Ricky Rubio may put some extra fans in the stands, but he’s going to have problems scoring against NBA-caliber defenses. Scoring won’t be a problem for Kevin Durant operating against a defense that was the league’s worst last season allowing 107.7 points per game. The Thunder closed out last season on a 12-5-1 covering run. OKLAHOMA CITY 111-94.

*3-STAR BEST BET Denver over Dallas by 5
-----------------------------------------
Dallas is going to be overpriced coming off its championship season. The Nuggets were one of the hottest teams down the stretch after trading Carmelo Anthony going 18-7 following that deal. The Nuggets also are 19-7 in their last 26 road contests and have covered eight of the past nine times in Dallas. The Nuggets fortified their backcourt bringing in Rudy Fernandez and Andre Miller. The Mavericks are going to take it easy in back-to-back games with 38-year-old Jason Kidd. DENVER 107-102.

•San Antonio over Memphis by 4 - The Spurs have enough backcourt scoring with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili to get past the Grizzlies. It wasn’t a fluke, though, that the Grizzlies eliminated the Spurs in the postseason. Memphis has the size and youth to bother the Spurs again. SAN ANTONIO 101-97.

•Phoenix over New Orleans by 10 - No Chris Paul nor David West means not enough scoring for the Hornets to keep up with Phoenix. The Suns should be sharp early while Steve Nash and Grant Hill are still fresh. PHOENIX 103-93.

•Los Angeles Lakers over Sacramento by 6 - If the Lakers are still fretting about not getting Chris Paul, or finding a replacement for Lamar Odom, they could find themselves in a tough spot. The Kings are going to be up and down, but have three potential stars in former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and Marcus Thornton, who averaged 21.3 points per contest during the final 27 games last season. LA LAKERS 101-95.

•Portland over Philadelphia by 4 - Philadelphia has found pointspread success at the Rose Garden covering in seven of its last 10 visits. Portland is breaking in a new backcourt with Andre Miller traded and Brandon Roy announcing his retirement. That could mean a faster pace game, which is the preferred style for Andre Iguodala. PORTLAND 104-100.

•Chicago over Golden State by 4 - The Bulls may face a letdown spot after their marquee opening night matchup versus the Lakers. Golden State has covered at home seven of the past nine times against Chicago. The Warriors have limited talent, but retain their explosive backcourt of Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. CHICAGO 111-107.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game Breakdown: These teams have played three straight games decided by a field goal, including Atlanta’s overtime win in New Orleans last season (which came courtesy of a 29-yard overtime miss by Saints K Garrett Hartley). Atlanta is coming off back-to-back wins and its passing game is clicking now that they’re finally healthy. The Falcons will likely rely on RB Michael Turner again (102.3 YPG vs. Saints the last three seasons). The Saints should be able to beat Atlanta’s mediocre secondary. QB Drew Brees has surpassed 300 yards in his last three games
against the Falcons.

Missouri looks for a fourth straight victory facing slumping North Carolina, which has lost four of six games. The Tigers’ best player, Big 12 leading rusher Henry Josey, is out for the season, and UNC has a stellar run defense, allowing only 93 rush YPG in the past six contests. But Missouri QB James Franklin has been a huge ground gainer with 839 yards and 13 TD. He has also thrown for 20 TD with just 10 INT. Carolina QB Bryn Renner (69% completions, 23 TD and 12 INT) should be able to throw on Missouri’s weak pass defense (247 YPG, 91st in FBS) that has allowed 300+ yards in half of its games.

*** MARK LAWRENCE MIDWEEK ALERT ***

•N CAROLINA OVER MISSOURI by 6
-------------------------------
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina this time of the football season. After all, the NFL Panthers are en route to tripling last year’s win total while the ACC’s Tar Heels and Wolfpack are both bowl bound. For UNC, it’s out with an interim and in with a new head coach when Everett Withers calls the shots for the final time on the sidelines before handing the keys over to Larry Fedora. And a win today would equal the same eight victories recorded by the team each of the previous three seasons under former head coach Butch Davis. Before skipping off to Columbus to join Ohio State’s urban renewal project as the Buckeyes’ new defensive coordinator, Withers has the full admiration and respect of this year’s squad.

RB Giovani Bernard said the Independence Bowl game has a lot more meaning than meets the eye. “It’s a big thing,” Bernard said. “It’s for Coach Withers and everyone on this staff and team. It would be special for them to go out with a win.” QB Bryn Renner feels the same saying, “We’ve had a great couple practices through exams. I think we’re ready to play for this staff and these seniors and send them out on a good note.” Meanwhile, the perfect fodder arrives in Missouri from the defensively depleted Big 12, a team that is just 9-16 ATS in games against bowlers the past four seasons. That’s because Big 12 bowl favorites who own an equal or greater win percentage than their opponents are 2-6 SU and 0-8 ATS when entering off a season-ending win of 14 or more points. The Heels win one for the skipper today.

•INDEPENDENCE BOWL
-------------------
A pair squads who are no bowl novices, as the Tigers of Missouri appear in their 7th straight holiday classic, while this makes it 4 straight for the Tar Heels of NorthCarolina. As a matter of fact, this the Tars' first 4-game bowl streak since a 7-year run from '92 thru '98. And talk about your nail biters, the last 3 years have seen Carolina losing 31-30 & 19-17, while winning 30-27 (OT). A year ago, in the Music City, 'Heels (-2) were recipients of highly questionable officiating, which allowed them to tie Tennessee on a last-second FG, forcing OT. They lost QB Yates, but Renner has been among the leaders in passing efficiency all year, finishing with 2,769 yds, & 69% (23/12). RB Bernard set a NC frosh record with 1,222 RYs (first 'Heel to reach 1,000 RYs since '97), & WR Jones checks in with 1,119 yds & 11 TDs.

Defensively, NC ranks a solid 39th overall, & 13th vs the run, allowing only 1 team (GaTech) to top 170 RYs. Last year, Mizzou set a team record with 6 straight bowl appearances, so this extends that streak. This season, they own an enviably balanced attack, as can be seen above, with QB Franklin at 2,733 PYs (10/10), & also 839 RYs (13 TDs). But they've lost their electrifying RB Josey (knee vs Texas), who was an awesome 8.1 ypr. Despite their impressive stats, the Tigs have been among the most inconsistent of squads this year, with covers of 10½, 19, 17½, & 13 pts, but losses of 10½, 15, 14, & 11½, not covering as a chalk since Oct 15. Thus, the dog is 8-3 ATS in Mizzou tilts TY. Ditto in Tiger bowl games, with the pup at 5-1 ATS. And MO has lost its last 3 bowls by 6, 28½, 6 pts ATS. To say that neither team can be trusted would be an understatement. A dog play.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Missouri Tigers

The Missouri Tigers (7-5, 6-6 ATS) will look to put an end to their two-game bowl losing streak when they match up with the North Carolina Tar Heels (7-5, 6-6 ATS) in the Independence Bowl; kick-off from Independence Stadium in Shreveport, LA is set to go live on ESPN2 & ESPN3.com starting at 5:00 ET.

With all the BS that went down within the UNC program last season and leading up to the 2011-12 campaign under former head coach Butch Davis watch, just qualifying for a bowl this year speaks volumes about the gridiron talent stockpiled in Chapel Hill. UNC looked as if it was going to compete for top honors within the Coastal Division at the outset of the season after beating the likes of James Madison, Rutgers, and Virginia. Though it came up just short of beating the Yellow Jackets in Week 4, the Tar Heels still went on to take care of business against East Carolina, and Louisville the next two weeks. That's where the fun stopped however, as the Heels went on to drop four of their last six games which included sickening outright defeats to both Miami (30-24) and NC State (13-0). They did however close the year with a pair of ATS covers sticking within the number in a 24-21 defeat at Virginia Tech (+10) before covering the 13.5-point spread at home against Duke in their regular season finale.

It was an off year for the folks in Columbia who saw their squad rattle off 10 wins just a short season ago. That said, head coach Gary Pinkels squad lost tons of talent from last years squad on the defensive side of the ball and injuries plagued the roster throughout the season's entirety. So even though the offense surpassed its scoring average from year ago (#33 at 32.2 PPG), the defense gave up an average of 7.4 more points per game this season. That in and of itself is the main reason why Mizzou found itself on the short end of the scoreboard in most of their tightly contested battles. Their 38-31 outright win at Texas A&M remains the seasons lone highlight, and the Tigers showed they just didn't have what it took to hang with the big boys falling to the likes of Oklahoma, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and Baylor by an average of 10.25 PPG. Theyll enter this evenings spot losers in three of their L/4 against the closing pointspread.

This will be the first time these teams will have opposed one another on the college football gridiron. UNC won just one of its five games played as a visitor and posted a 2-3 mark ATS, while Mizzou went 2-4 SU & 3-3 ATS on the road. North Carolinas gone an impressive 19-9 ATS the L/28 times it was installed an underdog, but has failed to cover each of its last four games following an outright triumph; the under has cashed in five of their last six nonconference tussles. Missouris 5-2 SU but just 2-5 ATS the last seven times it played on a neutral field, and checks in 1-4 ATS the L/5 times it was favored in a bowl game; the under is 9-3 in the Tigers L/12 non-conference battles.

Pick: North Carolina +5.5 (-110)

This is probably a disappointing Bowl for both teams that thought their seasons had much greater potential. But, both finished with identical 7-5 records. The Tigers offense struggled down the stretch where they scored just 24 points per game in their last three. Two of those games were against Texas Tech and Kansas. Kansas gave up 40 points in eight games this season while Texas Tech allowed 34 or more points in their last 10 games except 31 points to Missouri. The Tar Heels lost three of their last five, but two of them were to Virginia Tech and Clemson. Their defense was strong down the stretch allowing just 20.5 ppg, and with a struggling Missouri offense, the points look like the valued side here. The Tar Heels have been a very good choice as a dog where they are now 19-9 ATS in their last 28, while Missouri has been a neutral-site lemon at 3-8 ATS in their last 11, dropping five straight in December. Over the past three seasons, Missouri has laid a goose egg (0-7 ATS) vs teams that can pass the ball (teams like North Carolina that average 8+ yards per pass attempt). During Gary Pinkel's timee at Missouri, the Tigers are just 22-36 ATS vs. teams that complete 58%+ of their passes. Play on North Carolina.

SPORTS WAGERS

New Jersey –110 over CAROLINA

The Devils keep lining our pockets with cash and there’s no reason to stop here. The Devils would be a legit contender this season with better goaltending but that’s something we’ll have to live with for now. What we do know is that after last season’s debacle, this year’s Devils are hungrier than ever. They’ve won seven of nine and they don’t get outplayed, even when losing. The Hurricanes are a bottom feeder and they’ll remain there until major changes occur. Carolina’s best player, Eric Staal, appears disinterested and when the captain doesn’t give 100%, it cascades down to all. Joel Skinner, the team’s leading point producer remains out. The Canes have lost 11 of their last 14 and five in a row to these Devils. Cheap price. Play: New Jersey –110 (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).

ST. LOUIS -½ -108 over Dallas

The Dallas Stars are seven games above .500 but that can be misleading. They’ve been fortunate to outscore a few teams recently but that cannot last because they don’t have the firepower to maintain such a pace. What’s more notable is the number of chances they’re allowing and the number of goals they’ve allowed. Dallas has given up 18 goals against in its past five games and three or more in four straight. That’s a big concern for Dallas backers here because the Blues rarely allow more than two a game. They Blues have the NHL’s best home record with 13 wins in 17 games. The Blue Notes just keep winning and their confidence is sky high, especially in this building. Play: St. Louis -½ -108 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).

CHICAGO –1½ +125 over Columbus

For the first time this season we’re going to step out and lay 1½-pucks because the Jackets are a complete and utter mess. Before the break and having the least amount of wins and points in the league, the Jackets went into Nashville. The Predators took an early five-minute major and Columbus scored four times to take a 4-1 lead. But Columbus managed to lose that one in OT and skated off with their heads down and with a ho-hum attitude. They’ve allowed six goals against in two straight and six goals against in three of its last four road games. They’ve lost 44 of their past 56 games overall. They have no goaltending and what’s even more amazing is that six coaches have been fired this year and none of them are named Scott Arniel. Now they’ll skate into Chicago to play the league’s deadliest snipers. Chicago has played Columbus twice this year and won by scores of 6-3 and 5-2. That was in late October and early November when the Jackets were in a better state of mind. It's not January yet and this Columbus group has no shot of making the playoffs and no light at the end of its misery tunnel. The Blackhawks have a history of blowing this intruder out and this one could be the most decisive of all. Play: Chicago -1½ +125 (Risking 2 units).

WUNDERDOG
Game: Memphis at San Antonio (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Memphis +5 (+100)

The Memphis Grizzlies made a lot of strides last season. They made a deep playoff run, which included an opening round surprise vs. these same San Antonio Spurs. They took down San Antonio in the first round 4-2, and in the process went 5-0-1 ATS. They gained valuable experience in the process despite the absence of their top player Rudy Gay and his 20 points per game and 6 boards. It will only serve to make them better this season, while the Spurs began to show their age a year ago. Tim Duncan will be 36-years-old in April, his minutes and productivity are in decline, and Manu Ginobli is heading for 35. The Spurs will be hard pressed to win as many games as a year ago, while Memphis is a team with a high ceiling, going against a reputation line tonight in San Antonio. Play on Memphis in this one.
