Dave Tuley ESPN INSIDER


Matchup: New York Jets at Tennessee Titans
Spread: Titans minus-1.5
Public consensus pick: 60 percent picked Titans
Public perception: The public seems to be backing the Titans by default. Not even the news that the 6-7 Jets have an outside shot at the playoffs has people thinking they're in a must-win situation and might come through. If the Steelers lose to give the Jets more hope, you might see more support on the Jets.
Wiseguys' view: Unlike the other unattractive matchups, this will get action just because it's on ESPN's "Monday Night Football." The books will be cheering against getting middled on a Titans cover (at minus-1.5) and a Jets' teaser win (plus-7.5).
Tuley's Take: As strange as it sounds, the Jets have played better of late, except for the Patriots' rout; and, well, the ugly non-covering win over the hapless Cardinals. But they're still more consistent than the Titans. Note: This is probably my least-confident play of the weekend (though for some reason those plays have been doing better than my "best bets"). The pick: Jets.

NFL Poolies Betting Cheat Sheet: Week 15

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans (-1, 41)

The Jets have posted ugly back-to-back wins, totaling 559 yards of offense over the last two games. Mark Sanchez continues to struggle, passing for just 208 yards with three interceptions during the win streak. The Titans, who have dropped three straight, were dealt a blow last Sunday when TE Jared Cook was lost for the year with a torn right rotator cuff. Cook is second on the team in receptions (44) and third in yards (523). The Jets are 6-0 ATS in their last six meetings.

NFL Trends & Angles - Week 15

Play on any conference road underdog coming off of a road game (171-111-5, 60.6% ATS): The logic behind this angle is the same as the previous angle with two exceptions, as it does not matter if the team playing its second straight road game won or lost its previous game, and also it is restricted to conference games only as now facing a familiar foe lessens the travel effect since the team usually knows how to attack that foe and what to expect on defense. This angle went 1-3 in Week 14.
Qualifiers: New York Jets +1 (Monday).

Monday Night Football: Jets at Titans

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans (-1, 42)

The New York Jets remain an unlikely contender for a postseason spot and will seek their third straight victory when they visit the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. Despite an offense that remains in shambles, New York has posted back-to-back victories over the Arizona Cardinals and Jacksonville Jaguars - teams with a combined one win in the last nine games - to stay within striking distance of the No. 6 seed in the AFC. The Titans are the latest struggling opponent for the Jets, having lost three straight and five of six. Tennessee has issues on both sides of the ball, with the defense surrendering at least 30 points in seven of the first nine games and the offense having bogged down since quarterback Jake Locker returned from injury.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE: Titans -1, O/U 42

WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the mid-50s with partly cloudy skies. Winds will blow out of the west at 8 mph.

ABOUT THE JETS (6-7): With Mark Sanchez continuing to flounder, New York finally reverted to its preseason promise of a ground-and-pound attack in last week's 17-10 win at Jacksonville. Bilal Powell rushed for 78 yards and a TD on 19 carries and Shonn Greene had 77 yards and a score on 20 rushes. That allowed coach Rex Ryan to keep the ball out of the hands of Sanchez, who threw for only 111 yards after being benched the previous week in favor of third-stringer Greg McIlroy. New York's receiving corps has been decimated by injuries, leading to the decision to bring back well-traveled veteran Braylon Edwards earlier this week. The Jets' defense has permitted a combined 16 points in the last two games after getting shredded for 49 by New England on Thanksgiving night.

ABOUT THE TITANS (4-9): Locker missed five games earlier in the season due to injury and he has shown little progression since returning to the lineup. The second-year QB has thrown seven interceptions in the past three games, including one from his own end zone that helped wipe out Tennessee's 13-point halftime lead against Indianapolis a week ago. Despite his struggles - among the reasons for the dismissal of offensive coordinator Chris Palmer - the Titans are not shy about having Locker air it out. He's attempted an average of 40 passes in the last three games, and they are not coming when the team is forced to play catch-up. Running back Chris Johnson has rushed for 1,000 yards for five straight seasons, but he is averaging only 3.3 yards per carry in the last three games.

TRENDS:

* Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.
* Titans are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Jets are 6-0 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Under is 6-0-1 in Titans’ last seven games vs. a team with a losing record.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Tennessee has won four of its last five Monday night games.

2. Edwards was claimed off waivers from Seattle this week despite posting on his Twitter account that New York's management was "idiots" for the way Sanchez has been utilized.

3. Titans TE Jared Cook, the team's second-leading receiver, is done for the season after suffering a torn rotator cuff in last week's game.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Tale of the tape: Jets at Titans

Take a quick glance at the tale of the tape for Monday night’s showdown between the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans.

Offense

Mark Sanchez has continued to struggle despite less-than-stellar competition. The Jets' embattled quarterback is 22 of 40 for 208 yards with three interceptions and a fumble over the last two games. With Sanchez continuing to flounder, New York finally reverted to its preseason promise of a ground-and-pound attack in last week's 17-10 win at Jacksonville. Bilal Powell rushed for 78 yards and a TD on 19 carries and Shonn Greene had 77 yards and a score on 20 rushes. New York's receiving corps has been decimated by injuries, leading to the decision to bring back well-traveled veteran Braylon Edwards (hamstring) earlier this week. He is probable to suit up Monday night.

Titans QB Jake Locker missed five games earlier in the season due to injury and he has shown little progression since returning to the lineup. The second-year QB has thrown seven interceptions in the past three games, including one from his own end zone that helped wipe out Tennessee's 13-point halftime lead against Indianapolis a week ago. Running back Chris Johnson has rushed for 1,000 yards for five straight seasons, but is averaging only 3.3 yards per carry in the last three games. Tight end Jared Cook, the team's second-leading receiver, is done for the season after suffering a torn rotator cuff in last week's game.

Edge: Titans

Defense

The Jets' defense has permitted a combined 16 points in the last two games after getting shredded for 49 by New England on Thanksgiving night. But keep in mind those dominant performances the past two weeks were against the NFL’s two worst offenses (Arizona, Jacksonville).

The Titans put together a dominant defensive first half — holding the Colts to 111 total yards, sacking Andrew Luck three times last week. The Tennessee stop unit limited the league’s third-best offense at the time to 269 yards and 4-of-12 third-down conversions. It also scored a touchdown. The Titans allow an average of 127 rushing yards, tied for 23rd in the league.

Edge: Jets

Special teams

The Jets rank eighth in opponents’ kickoff-return average and lead the league with 22 opponents’ drives starting inside their own 20. Kicker Nick Folk has made only 76 percent of his field goal attempts this season, ranking him 32nd in the league in that category.

Titans return specialist Darius Reynaud enjoyed success early in the season, but teams are now avoiding him. He returned just one punt for 14 yards in last week’s loss to the Colts and was ripped by the local media for his poor decision-making the week before against Houston. Rob Bironas and Brett Kern are one of the better kicking/punting duos in the league.

Edge: Titans

Word on the street

“Big, talented, physical guy (Locker). Almost has a mentality of a running back when he takes off with it. Obviously, he’s a great athlete, he has a big arm. He’s a guy, certainly, you have to worry about. Not only with his arm, but his scrambling ability as well.” – Jets head coach Rex Ryan on Jake Locker.

“We have a young quarterback and most teams have to decide, do we want to try to confuse him and go after him, or make him read coverage? I'm sure they'll do a little bit of both.” – Titans head coach Mike Munchak on what he expects from the Jets defense.

Jets or Titans? Bloggers debate who will cover

Monday Night Football welcomes two fringe teams to the primetime spotlight. The New York Jets are on playoff life support while the Tennessee Titans, who are 1-point favorites, are trying to save face after an up-and-down season.

THREE REASONS WHY NEW YORK WILL COVER

Ground and pound

The New York Jets have got back to effectively running the football, thanks to a 1-2 punch of Bilal Powell and Shonn Greene. When the Jets can run the football successfully, they can protect Mark Sanchez and open up their play-action passing attack. They are 6-1 this season when running at least 30 times.

Pride

The Jets were humiliated in their last primetime game, butt-fumbling their way to a 30-point loss against the Patriots. Losing like that has to be fresh in everybody’s mind and provides an extra layer of motivation for a prideful, veteran team. Beyond that, the Jets are in the thick of the AFC wildcard chase and absolutely can’t afford a loss if they have any hopes of playing in January.

Defensive line growth

Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is peaking right now and looking every bit like a Pro-Bowl player. Alongside him, rookie end Quinton Coples is coming off his best game of the season. Tennessee is down four starting offensive lineman and their starting tight end. They will struggle to get a push up front in the running game, which could force them to rely too heavily on quarterback Jake Locker.

THREE REASONS WHY TENNESSEE WILL COVER

Defensive pressure

The Titans were terrible on defense early in the season. Back then, Jerry Gray had his defense sitting in a soft Cover-2 and only rushing four most of the game. They were giving up passes and missing tackles. That led to a lot of points allowed. About six weeks ago, Gray completely changed his philosophy. He has been dialing up blitzes all over the field and the Titans have gotten a lot of pressure as a result. This will make things challenging for Mark Sanchez, who doesn't deal well with pressure.

Chris Johnson

The Jets are 29th in the league against the run. That will make for a huge night for Chris Johnson. Getting C.J. going will allow the Titans offense to stay balanced and open things up for Jake Locker down the field. Locker has struggled at times, but he has not had trouble throwing the ball down the field.

Primetime home-field advantage

The Titans have struggled mightily this year, but they tend to play well at home in primetime. They took down the Steelers at LP Field on a Thursday night earlier this season. This team also knows they're playing for Mike Munchak's job and they seem to really like Munch as their coach.

NFL

Jets (6-7) @ Titans (5-8)—As bad as the Jets have been, as awful as their QB play has been, they close with Titans-Chargers-Bills; its not impossible they could still make playoffs. Go figure. Gang Green won three of last four games, allowing 13 or less points in all three wins; they’re 3-3 on road, losing at Pitt-Foxboro-Seattle. Tennessee lost four of last six games, as young QB Locker gets experience; he’s kind of a right-handed Tebow, athletic as hell, not an accurate passer. Titans are 2-4 at home, with both wins by a FG (Lions/Steelers). Jets ran ball for 177-166 yards last two games, as they try to take pressure off Sanchez, who has horrible set of WRs; expect more of same here. Jets won five of last six series games, winning three of four here, but last of those was in ’08. AFC East road underdogs are 5-7 vs spread; AFC South home favorites are 5-1. Did you know before the Jets were the Jets, they were the New York Titans?

Spurs at Thunder: What Bettors Need to Know

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5, 207)

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been rolling along, having won 10 in a row to seize the best record in the NBA. The Thunder will face a familiar opponent on Monday when they host the San Antonio Spurs, the team which they defeated during last season's Western Conference finals. The Spurs exacted a small measure of revenge with an 86-84 triumph when the teams met on Nov. 1.

The Thunder, who posted a 113-103 win over Sacramento on Friday, enters the contest with a league-best 105.7 scoring average and 9.3 point differential. San Antonio can also score some points, as it showed when it surpassed 130 on two occasions recently. The Spurs didn't reach that total, but secured a comfortable 103-88 victory over Boston on Saturday.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, Fox Sports Southwest (San Antonio), Fox Sports Oklahoma

ABOUT THE SPURS (19-6, 16-8-1 ATS): Tony Parker drained the game-winning 21-footer as time expired when the teams met last month. Tim Duncan had 20 points and eight rebounds, but veteran guard Manu Ginobili missed that contest. As it turns out, Ginobili is doubtful to play on Monday as well. Ginobili suffered a bruised left quad in Saturday's win, prompting coach Gregg Popovich to say on Sunday that "it's hard to believe he'd be ready (for Monday), but I'm not sure."

ABOUT THE THUNDER (19-4, 14-8-1 ATS): Kevin Durant, who scored 31 points on Friday, had a game-high 23 points when Oklahoma City last played San Antonio. The three-time NBA scoring champion is having another brilliant season - with his 27.5 points per game already ahead of his career average. Oklahoma City owns a sparkling 13-2 mark at home, bested only by New York's 10-0 record at Madison Square Garden.

TRENDS:

* Over is 7-1-1 in the last nine meetings in Oklahoma City.
* Favorite is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Home team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.
* Spurs are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Oklahoma City.
* Spurs are 0-4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Oklahoma City will look to match its longest winning streak since November 1996, when the franchise won 11 in a row as the Seattle SuperSonics.

2. San Antonio F Stephen Jackson will miss his 15th consecutive game with a finger injury.

3. Thunder G Russell Westbrook has struggled with his shot over the last two games. Westbrook, who is just 8-for-27, started the month by going 36-for-78

MURRAY HILL’S 15* AFC GAME OF THE YEAR


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
New York Jets at Tennessee – We have found TWO TERRIFIC SUPER SYSTEMS that support a play on the New York Jets. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (TENNESSEE) after allowing 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt last game against opponent after gaining 5.5 or less passing yards/attempt in last game. This system has cashed 69.1% (47-21) of the time over the last 10 seasons. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (TENNESSEE) a terrible defensive team (>=370 YPG) against an average defensive team (295 to 335 YPG). This system has cashed 66.2% (51-26) of the time since 1983. Consider the team trends. New York Jets are 13-7 ATS in games where the line is +3 to -3, 5-1 ATS against AFC South division opponents and 5-0 ATS off 1 or more consecutive unders. Tennessee is 3-11 ATS after gaining 6 or more yards/play in their previous game, 2-9 ATS as a favorite and 12-22 ATS against conference opponents. Take the New York Jets plus the points

Ryan;s MNF 25* Top Rated Titan; 19-6 ATS run


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
25* graded play on the the New York Jets as they take on the Tennessee Titans set to start at 8:30 PM ET on Monday Night Football. The simulator shows a high probability that the Jets will win this game and keep their faint playoff hopes alive. Let’s not overestimate the fact that their backs are against the playoff contending walls and that the team from top to bottom know it has been another disappointing season. Still, I believe they will play with a sense of urgency and since they are away from the NY media, will be able to perform at an optimal level. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 47-21 record for 69% winners since 2002. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after allowing 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt last game and is now facing an opponent after gaining 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt in last game. 48% of the plays made based on the criteria of this system covered the spread by seven or more points. Here is a reinforcing and very simple system that has produced a winning mark of 27-8 for 77% winners since 2006. Play on any team using the money line off a road win when playing on Monday night. Titans are just 3-11 ATS after gaining six or more yards per play in their previous game over the last 3 seasons. The sim shows that the Jets defense will shut down the anemic Titan offense and hold them to fewer than 21 points. The Titans are just 1-9 ATS when they score between 14 and 21 points in a game spanning the past three seasons. The Titans are essentially a one dimensional team with running back CJ and theri p;lay has been as inconsistent as his this season. The Titans will give CJ a heavy dose of touches tonight behind a decent OL. Although the Jets have struggled in run defense this season, ranking 26th allowing 136.4 YPG, they do have the personnel to contain CJ. Opponents that have contained CJ and the Titans rushing attack and have certain not to get sealed in on the edges and the Jets do this well. The Jest can also bring the second line up closer to the LOS anticipating wham plays and counter traps. In passing downs, the Jets are best served not to bring pressure and collapse the pocket into Locker. He is dangerous when flushed out, but somewhat ordinary when he is contained. The Jets will also have one of their safeties play a bit deeper over the middle as Locker has a tendency to over throw passes, which end up sailing on him. I like the Jets tonight to roll.

Fargo's 10* NFL STAR ATTRACTION (EPIC 18-5-1 RUN)


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
We won with the Jets last Sunday against Jacksonville and we will back them again here. The two-game winning streak has put them back in the hunt for the playoffs and with a very favorable schedule to close out, they are in excellent shape but will obviously still need some help along the way. The public is still fading this team which is just fine as it gives us good value with the number in what is a must win spot. Normally, cases like that lead to inflated numbers but that is not the case here. Tennessee lost its third straight game last week at Indianapolis and it has dropped five of its last six games to fall out of the playoff picture. The Titans will no doubt try and bring their A game here with this game being on national television but the problem is they don't have much of an A game. They have struggled on both sides of the ball but turnovers remain the biggest factor in their struggles as their 26 giveaways are tied for third most in the AFC. The Jets are no stranger to turnovers either but Tennessee has just 16 takeaways with is fifth fewest in the conference. New York has a chance to get the offense going once again as the titans are ranked 27th in the NFL in total defense and 31st in points allowed. I expected a bigger game from Mark Sanchez last week but we didn't get it but now he faces a unit ranked 26th in passing yards allowed and 24th in passing ypa allowed. The return of Braylon Edwards could be a huge boost as he is expected to play right away. New York still possesses a stout defense as it is ranked eighth overall and while the rushing defense has been a weakness, the Titans have not been able to do much of late. Running back Chris Johnson looked like he was finally out of his slump but he has been held to 175 yards on 53 carries (3.3 ypc) while failing to reach the end zone during the Titans' three-game slide. New York's defense has been excellent the past two weeks against the NFL's two worst offenses. The Jets fall into a great league-wide situation here as we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 370 or more total ypg going up against teams allowing between 295 and 335 total ypg. This situation is 51-26 ATS (66.2 percent) since 1983. Additionally, Tennessee is 2-9 ATS as a favorite over the last two seasons and is 5-23-1 ATS in its last 29 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in its previous game. The Jets playoff hopes stay alive. 10* (331) New York Jets

Team Del Genio MNF Winner (62-37-3 NFL Run!)


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
Play on Tennessee at 8:35 ET. We don't buy the Jets as playoff contenders, which they are in name only thanks a not very deep AFC. They enter this game at 6-7 thanks to lackluster wins over the likes of Arizona (7-6) and Jacksonville (17-10) the L2 wks. It speaks volumes that they are not favored. The only team w/ a winning record that the Jets have beaten this year is the Colts, whose point differential would seem to indicate they are overrated to begin with. Think about this for a second? The Jets in the playoffs? Talk about a time when the often-overreaching Roger Goodell should intervene! The Jets shouldn't be allowed to make the playoffs. Therefore, with the nation watching, let's take them to lose tonight to a Tennessee team that's basically playing its "Super Bowl." At 4-9, it's been a bad year for the Titans. But are they really any worse than New York? We don't think so. While Tennessee's defense is pretty bad, so is the Jets, who ranks third to last against the run. In other words, Titans RB Chris Johnson should bounce back from a three-game slump. The only time a 4-9 team on a three-game losing streak can be counted on to play hard is when they are getting a home game in primetime. Tennessee did win its only night game so far, beating the Steelers on a Thursday night. We had the Titans there as well, cashing outright as six-point dogs. Tennessee gets better QB play from Jake Locker than the Jets get from Mark Sanchez. Titans HC Munchak may NEED to win here to save his job as owner Bud Adams has been quite critical of his performance this season. Look for the Titans to ruin the Jets season. 8* Tennessee

Marc's Monday Night Magic NFL Killer Key Play!


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
Play On: NY Jets (Game 331) Note: Despite the fact that the Jets are frauds posing as playoff contenders, they hit the Music City with just too many good numbers too ignore. For starters, they are 8-1 ATS on the road off a previous road game versus losing opposition and 6-1 ATS away against the AFC South. They are also 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS in this series since 1999, including 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in Nashville. And though the Titans have been ready for some football (3-0 SU and ATS last three Mondays) and are playing hard (4-0 'In The Stats' last four) for second-year head coach Mike Munchak, one problem is they are going nowhere while the Jets are trying to steal a Wild Card spot (it would be criminal if they got in) in this year's playoff race. The other concern for the Titans is a nasty 0-8 ATS mark off a SU loss versus a sub. 500 foe off a SU and ATS win from Game Thirteen out. We recommend a 3-unit play on the NY Jets. Thank you and good luck as always.

IRON HORSE 10* MNF MILLIONAIRE'S ROW ***TOTAL***


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
The Jets were on a 2-6 losing streak before winning back-to-back games the last 2 weeks, but don't put too much stock in those wins, as they were against teams combining for a 6-20 SU record this season, with both teams in the bottom 5 for NFL wins. While the Jets offense has appeared to struggle all season behind QB Sanchez, they've been productive, scoring 27 points or more in 7 of their first 11 games. While the Jets have won their last 2 games, they struggled offensively, escaping with a 7-6 win over Arizona (4-9) and a 17-10 victory at Jacksonville (2-11), but these Jets are 4-0 Over/Under after scoring 17 points or less in back-to-back games during the last 3 seasons behind QB Sanchez. Even better, these Jets are now 8-1 Over/Under when playing their 2nd of back-to-back road games, including 2-0 Over/Under this season (9/23 @ Miami, 23-20 "Over," 11-11 @ St. Louis, 27-13 "Over"). The Jets reputation for playing stingy defense and owning a stagnant offense has forced Oddsmakers to keep the Total on Monday Night Football at a very fair number. We're backing the "Over," as we expect Jets QB Sanchez to wake up in front of a national television audience against a Titans squad that's allowing 30 points per game this season.

SCOTT SPREITZER'S MNF OV/UN DOMINATOR! *85% ATS!


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
I'm playing the Over between the Jets and Titans on Monday night. New York still owns an outside shot at making the playoffs...even though their chances are quite small. But I expect them to do whatever they have to in order to win this game, which means they will likely have to open things up on offense. They're facing the "right" defense to do it against...the Titans are one of the worst in the league against the pass, defending the run, and in points allowed, giving up 29.7 ppg. The Jets are on an 11-2 Over run against defenses that allow a 64% or higher completion rate and Tennessee's pass defense fits the bill. The Jets' defense is not playing well against the run, ranked 28th in the league. Tonight, they'll have to face Titans' RB Chris Johnson (probable - ankle) who's capable of picking up big chunks of yardage in a hurry. The Titans also plan to open up the offense as they look to get Kenny Britt (probable) involved early and often. Jets' road games are 19-7 to the Over the last 26 times, while the Titans are on a 21-10-2 Over run at home against teams with a losing record. I'm playing the Over between the Jets & Titans on Monday. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the IPFW Mastodons plus the points over Notre Dame, as IPFW falls into 22-1, 115-39 and 44-13 ATS systems of mine based on their last two games, road losses at Valpo and Drake. The Mastodons fell 63-52 and 74-64 in those two games, but covered the spread in each. Overall, IPFW has covered three straight. Notre Dame does come into this game off 7 straight wins, but the Irish have been poor over the years as big favorites. Indeed, since 2001, Notre Dame is just 21-38 ATS as home favorites of -11 or more points, including 9-24 ATS vs. a foe off a SU loss. IPFW's defense is allowing just 61.3 ppg this year, and hasn't lost by more than 13 points in any of its 11 games. Take the Mastodons plus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

BIG AL's DOUBLE 100% PERFECT NCAA HOOPS ROADKILL!


Detroit U at Syracuse Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over Detroit. The Titans come into this game off four straight home wins, including an 80-73 comeback victory over Akron on Saturday. But now Detroit has to take to the road, and the road has not been kind to it this season. Indeed, at home Detroit is a perfect 6-0, including nice wins over Drake, Toledo and the aforementioned victory vs. Akron two days ago. But away from home, it's a completely different story, as Detroit is 0-4, with losses to St. Johns, Miami, Bowling Green and Pitt. And the Titans are 1-3 ATS in those four losses, with the only cover by a mere half-point. I look for that trend to continue tonight, as the Carrier Dome is a tough venue for visiting teams. Detroit falls into a negative 38-95 ATS system of mine which fades certain road teams off home wins. Additionally, this season, underdogs of 19+ points are an awful 0-9 ATS off a SU/ATS win. Syracuse is a perfect 6-0 ATS this season vs. Non-Conference opposition, and it will blow out Detroit. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Ryan’s CBB 25* TOP RATED Titan; 76% L 21


Montana State at Northern Arizona Dec 17 2012 8:35PM
25* graded play on Montana State as they take on Northern Arizona set to start at 8:35 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that MS will lose this game by six or fewer points and has an excellent shot at winning the game. I like playing this opportunity as a combination bet using a 20* amount on the line and a 5* using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 57-25 mark for 70% winners since 2006. Play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games and is a struggling team winning between 20% to 40% of their games and is now playing a team with a losing record. The sim also shows high probabilities that MS will attempt between 19 and 24 free throws; that NA will attempt between 54 and 62 shots, will have between 9 and 13 offensive boards, and will commit between 14 and 18 turnovers. In past games, MS is 11-3 ATS when they attempt 19 to 24 free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons; NA is just 3-12 ATS when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game over the last two seasons; 3-11 ATS when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons; 2-9 ATS when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons. NA is on a horrid 5-19 ATS run after playing a game as a dog over the last 2 seasons. This is a matchup of two teams that don’t play defense well. Yet, MS has a big time advantage on the offensive end. MS ranks 85th in the nation averaging 72 PPG while the NA defense ranks 310th allowing 76.8 PPG. MS ranks 328th allowing 78.8 PPG, but NA ranks just 142nd averaging 67 PPG. Moreover, MS has a huge edge in offensive rebounding and this will generate a huge edge in second chance scoring opportunities. Take Montana State.

Team Del Genio 10* BLOWOUT of the Wk -11-5 L4 Days


Cornell at Vanderbilt Dec 17 2012 9:00PM
Play on Vanderbilt at 9:00 ET. Considering the ugly start for the Commies thus far, this is a game they need to win & win big. We think they will. They have won three of four since that disastrous 50-33 loss to Marist on a neutral floor. Cornell too has won three of its last four games, but an Ivy League team that shoots this poorly doesn't figure to do very well taking their act into a SEC gym. I think the Big Red is also likely to be a bit rusty as this is their first game in more than two weeks. They have not played since a 70-63 win over Colgate on December 1st. If their first two "true" road games are any indication, this will be a long night for Cornell. They managed just 40 at Wisconsin and 53 at Arizona State, losing both games by double digits. Cornell shot 26% and 35% in those two games. Vandy has obviously struggled to score at times this season, but has been surprisingly solid defensively, allowing just 57.7 PPG on the year. They have a pair of game under their belt since the last time Cornell played, including an impressive upset at Xavier as 11.5-point road dogs. Last game, they outshot outmanned Alabama A&M 51% to 32%. They are 36-19 ATS off a home win by 20+ points. But perhaps the real key to this game for Vanderbilt is the return of Dai-Jon Parker, who was projected to be the starting shooting guard before the season when he was suspended. Vanderbilt is our 10* BLOWOUT of the Week.

UNLV at Texas-El Paso Dec 17 2012 8:00PM
My 10* Underdog Game of the Month is on UTEP at 8:00 ET.


UNLV (8-1) takes a six-game winning streak to EL Paso tonight in a game vs the 3-4 Miners. The 20th-ranked Rebels will move forward without the 6-8 Mike Moser (10.9-8.3) for at least a month with a dislocated elbow. However, there is some good news. Khem Birch, a 6-9 transfer from Pitt and a former McDonald's All-American, is scheduled to make his debut for the Rebels Monday night. He’ll join 6-8 freshman Bennett, who is off to a terrific start, leading UNLV in scoring (20.3 PPG) and rebounding (8.9 RPG) and senior guard Anthony Marshall (10.8-4.3-5.3). Big things are expected from Birch and Dave Rice’s team has also seen significant contributions from two other newcomers, 6-5 freshman Reinhardt (9.9-3.1 APG) and 6-6 USC transfer Dejean-Jones (8.4). UTEP head coach Tim Floyd has his hands full and this year’s Miners own just two double digit scorers, the 6-7 Julian Washburn (12.0) and the 6-10 Bohannon (11.6-5.4). However, UTEP is a perfect 3-0 SU at home this season. The Miners are averaging just 56.7 PPG (haven't scored 70 all season) but they are hoping they can draw UNLV into a slow-paced game. The Rebels’ attack can be disrupted by playing zone and by forcing them into half-court mode, where their offense often becomes little more than one which turns into a flurry of hurried shots from the perimeter. UNLV had failed to cover its previous NINE away from home when it visited Cal a week ago Sunday (Dec 9) but escaped with a win and cover, 76-75. Note that UNLV was a 1 1/2-point dog in that one and was fortunate that Cal missed some key FTs, late. Here, UNLV will be laying a ‘TD’ or more and will need a much better effort to get the ATS win. Guard Konner Tucker is listed as probable for this game, which will be his first action since suffering a broken hand during preseason play. He averaged 12.0 PPG with San Houston State last season and will join PG Streeter (7.3-5.0 APG) and Ragland (6.7 PPG but 17 points in his last outing) on the perimeter. Floyd knows how to utilize various defensive tricks and junk zones that have bothered UNLV in the recent past and let me also note that not only is UTEP 3-0 at home this year but the Miners have won 14 of their last 15 December home games. Take the points!


Good luck...Larry

Fargo's 10* CBB BIG BITE BEATDOWN (65% LIFETIME!)


Texas State at Northwestern Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
This is a very tough spot for Texas St. The Bobcats are coming off their first true road game of the season at Texas on Saturday and came up short against the hated Longhorns. They lost by 12 points but actually trailed by just four points late in the game but were unable to make the necessary stops to try and pull off the upset. Texas St. has now lost 24 straight meeting with Texas and while that cannot constitute it as a rivalry, it knows it had a shot and threw it away. "We're actually more disappointed than we ever have been since we've come in here, because we felt there were opportunities to win this game," Bobcats head coach Doug Davalos said. "We couldn't sustain." That makes the travel to Northwestern just two days later even more difficult. The Wildcats have never been to the NCAA Tournament but this was supposed to be the year that streak finally ends. Once again though, they are faced with adversity as another major injury looks to derail Northwestern. The Wildcats lost swingman Drew Crawford for the season as he sustained a shoulder injury in their last game against Butler. He was second on the team in scoring with 13.5 ppg and was fourth in rebounding with 4.6 rpg. It is a major blow for sure but being the first game back since then, expect the rest of the team to rise up as we often see this when a big player goes down. Making the motivation even stronger is the fact that Northwestern has lost three straight games at home after starting off 4-0 so it will be out to lay a hurting on the Bobcats. Texas St. is 0-4 ATS in its last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while the Wildcats are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a losing record. This one turns into a blowout. 10* (716) Northwestern Wildcats

Sam Martin's 20* CBB "UNDERDOG DEMOLITION" (6-1)!!


Texas State at Northwestern Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
20* Play on Texas State. Way too many points for Northwestern to be laying here against Texas State, especially considering the poor shooting performances the Wildcats have had lately. Northwestern has been held to under 40% shooting in five of their last six games overall, with four of those five bad shooting outings seeing the Wildcats shoot under 35% from the floor. In fact, while we're not calling for an outright win by the dog here tonight, NW has lost outright each of the last three times they were installed as favorites, including a 50-44 loss as an 11-point home favorite against Illinois Chicago.


That game was a bad scheduling spot for Northwestern, who just came off a bad loss against Maryland (lost by 20 as a 4.5-point favorite) and had a tough game against Baylor on deck. Tonight's game is a similar scheduling spot for the Wildcats, who are coming off a tough nine-point loss against Baylor (as a small home favorite) and have a tough matchup on deck against Stanford looming next. Texas State averages 74 points per game and their offense is more than capable of staying close to Northwestern here, who prefers to play at a much slower pace than most other teams. NW wins this game outright, but not by double-digits! 20* Play on Texas State.

Fargo's 10* NBA MONDAY ENFORCER (SWEET 26-16 RUN)


Sacramento Kings at Phoenix Suns Dec 17 2012 9:05PM
Sacramento is coming off a home blowout loss last night against Denver as they went down by 25 points which makes it four straight losses for the Kings, all of which have come by double-digits. They have all come against teams that are currently in playoff positions or sitting right outside the top eight in each conference and the opponent tonight is not part of that group. Backing Sacramento may not seem logical at this point but this is the time to play on them as we have the value and the anti-public scenario on our side. Phoenix had dropped seven straight games prior to winning its last two games over Memphis and Utah. That is not a huge surprise however as the Suns have been a team that has either stepped up to the competition or played down to the level as they are just 1-9 ATS against teams with a losing record this season. Additionally, Phoenix is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 games following a victory and the Suns haven't been favored by this many points all season and they are 0-3 ATS of favorites of four points or more. Sacramento has definitely struggled against the NBA's better teams, going just 3-13 against teams ranked in the top 16 but the Kings are a much more respectable 4-3 against the bottom 14 teams. Overall, Sacramento has played a schedule ranked seventh in the NBA so that has definitely played a part in the struggles. These teams are separated by just a game and half in the Western Conference standings which does not correlate to the spread we are given here. 10* (711) Sacramento Kings

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder Dec 17 2012 8:05PM
I'm playing on OKLAHOMA CITY. The Spurs eked out a 2-point win when these teams met at San Antonio last month. With tonight's rematch being played at OKC, I expect the revenge-minded Thunder to return the favor. While they haven't covered their last couple of games, the Thunder are still on a serious roll. In fact, they've won 10 straight and have vaulted to the top of the overall standings. The Thunder haven't lost yet this entire month and they're averaging 109.6 points while shooting better than 50& during their current winning streak. I feel that the Spurs, who are without Jackson and who may be without Manu Ginobili, will have some trouble keeping up. Even if he does play, Ginobili may be at less than 100%. Meanwhile, Duncan is off a game in which he scored just five points, while making just two of 13 shots. The Thunder are typically at their best when attempting to avenge an earlier loss, going 44-26 ATS (47-23 SU) the last 70 times that they were in that situation, including 5-2 SU/ATS the last seven. The Thunder are also a lucrative 12-7 ATS (13-6 SU) the last 19 times that they were listed as home favorites in the 3.5 to 6 range. They're 4-1 SU/ATS their last five home games against the Spurs, including 3-0 SU/ATS the last three. I expect them to keep on rolling for another day. *9 Personal Favorite

Sam Martin's 20* NBA "VEGAS INFERNO" WINNER (18-7)


Los Angeles Clippers at Detroit Pistons Dec 17 2012 7:35PM
20* Play on LA Clippers. We backed the Clippers in their 26-point blowout win against Milwaukee on Saturday night, and we'll back them again here against another struggling offense in the Pistons. We loved the offensive matchup in that Clippers win on Saturday, as we do here as well. LA's 111-point effort was the eighth time in the last nine games they have put up triple-digits on the scoreboard, and here they face a Detroit team that has shot 42% or worse in four straight games, including a 77-point effort their last time out in an 11-point home loss against the Pacers.


We don't see how the Pistons can keep up with the Clippers here tonight, and while LA obviously has momentum on their side (have won nine straight heading into tonight), the Clippers also have an added incentive in this game going for a four-game sweep of their current road trip. Detroit's defense has also been slumping of late, allowing 100+ points in five of their last seven games overall - a stark contrast to LA's six-game streak of holding opponents to under 100 points scored. Big advantages on both ends of the court plus the added momentum and motivation favoring the road side leads the Clippers to yet another blowout win! 20* Play on LA Clippers.

MURRAY HILL’S 15* AFC GAME OF THE YEAR


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
New York Jets at Tennessee – We have found TWO TERRIFIC SUPER SYSTEMS that support a play on the New York Jets. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (TENNESSEE) after allowing 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt last game against opponent after gaining 5.5 or less passing yards/attempt in last game. This system has cashed 69.1% (47-21) of the time over the last 10 seasons. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (TENNESSEE) a terrible defensive team (>=370 YPG) against an average defensive team (295 to 335 YPG). This system has cashed 66.2% (51-26) of the time since 1983. Consider the team trends. New York Jets are 13-7 ATS in games where the line is +3 to -3, 5-1 ATS against AFC South division opponents and 5-0 ATS off 1 or more consecutive unders. Tennessee is 3-11 ATS after gaining 6 or more yards/play in their previous game, 2-9 ATS as a favorite and 12-22 ATS against conference opponents. Take the New York Jets plus the points




Ryan;s MNF 25* Top Rated Titan; 19-6 ATS run


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
25* graded play on the the New York Jets as they take on the Tennessee Titans set to start at 8:30 PM ET on Monday Night Football. The simulator shows a high probability that the Jets will win this game and keep their faint playoff hopes alive. Let’s not overestimate the fact that their backs are against the playoff contending walls and that the team from top to bottom know it has been another disappointing season. Still, I believe they will play with a sense of urgency and since they are away from the NY media, will be able to perform at an optimal level. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 47-21 record for 69% winners since 2002. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after allowing 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt last game and is now facing an opponent after gaining 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt in last game. 48% of the plays made based on the criteria of this system covered the spread by seven or more points. Here is a reinforcing and very simple system that has produced a winning mark of 27-8 for 77% winners since 2006. Play on any team using the money line off a road win when playing on Monday night. Titans are just 3-11 ATS after gaining six or more yards per play in their previous game over the last 3 seasons. The sim shows that the Jets defense will shut down the anemic Titan offense and hold them to fewer than 21 points. The Titans are just 1-9 ATS when they score between 14 and 21 points in a game spanning the past three seasons. The Titans are essentially a one dimensional team with running back CJ and theri p;lay has been as inconsistent as his this season. The Titans will give CJ a heavy dose of touches tonight behind a decent OL. Although the Jets have struggled in run defense this season, ranking 26th allowing 136.4 YPG, they do have the personnel to contain CJ. Opponents that have contained CJ and the Titans rushing attack and have certain not to get sealed in on the edges and the Jets do this well. The Jest can also bring the second line up closer to the LOS anticipating wham plays and counter traps. In passing downs, the Jets are best served not to bring pressure and collapse the pocket into Locker. He is dangerous when flushed out, but somewhat ordinary when he is contained. The Jets will also have one of their safeties play a bit deeper over the middle as Locker has a tendency to over throw passes, which end up sailing on him. I like the Jets tonight to roll.

Fargo's 10* NFL STAR ATTRACTION (EPIC 18-5-1 RUN)


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
We won with the Jets last Sunday against Jacksonville and we will back them again here. The two-game winning streak has put them back in the hunt for the playoffs and with a very favorable schedule to close out, they are in excellent shape but will obviously still need some help along the way. The public is still fading this team which is just fine as it gives us good value with the number in what is a must win spot. Normally, cases like that lead to inflated numbers but that is not the case here. Tennessee lost its third straight game last week at Indianapolis and it has dropped five of its last six games to fall out of the playoff picture. The Titans will no doubt try and bring their A game here with this game being on national television but the problem is they don't have much of an A game. They have struggled on both sides of the ball but turnovers remain the biggest factor in their struggles as their 26 giveaways are tied for third most in the AFC. The Jets are no stranger to turnovers either but Tennessee has just 16 takeaways with is fifth fewest in the conference. New York has a chance to get the offense going once again as the titans are ranked 27th in the NFL in total defense and 31st in points allowed. I expected a bigger game from Mark Sanchez last week but we didn't get it but now he faces a unit ranked 26th in passing yards allowed and 24th in passing ypa allowed. The return of Braylon Edwards could be a huge boost as he is expected to play right away. New York still possesses a stout defense as it is ranked eighth overall and while the rushing defense has been a weakness, the Titans have not been able to do much of late. Running back Chris Johnson looked like he was finally out of his slump but he has been held to 175 yards on 53 carries (3.3 ypc) while failing to reach the end zone during the Titans' three-game slide. New York's defense has been excellent the past two weeks against the NFL's two worst offenses. The Jets fall into a great league-wide situation here as we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 370 or more total ypg going up against teams allowing between 295 and 335 total ypg. This situation is 51-26 ATS (66.2 percent) since 1983. Additionally, Tennessee is 2-9 ATS as a favorite over the last two seasons and is 5-23-1 ATS in its last 29 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in its previous game. The Jets playoff hopes stay alive. 10* (331) New York Jets

Team Del Genio MNF Winner (62-37-3 NFL Run!)


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
Play on Tennessee at 8:35 ET. We don't buy the Jets as playoff contenders, which they are in name only thanks a not very deep AFC. They enter this game at 6-7 thanks to lackluster wins over the likes of Arizona (7-6) and Jacksonville (17-10) the L2 wks. It speaks volumes that they are not favored. The only team w/ a winning record that the Jets have beaten this year is the Colts, whose point differential would seem to indicate they are overrated to begin with. Think about this for a second? The Jets in the playoffs? Talk about a time when the often-overreaching Roger Goodell should intervene! The Jets shouldn't be allowed to make the playoffs. Therefore, with the nation watching, let's take them to lose tonight to a Tennessee team that's basically playing its "Super Bowl." At 4-9, it's been a bad year for the Titans. But are they really any worse than New York? We don't think so. While Tennessee's defense is pretty bad, so is the Jets, who ranks third to last against the run. In other words, Titans RB Chris Johnson should bounce back from a three-game slump. The only time a 4-9 team on a three-game losing streak can be counted on to play hard is when they are getting a home game in primetime. Tennessee did win its only night game so far, beating the Steelers on a Thursday night. We had the Titans there as well, cashing outright as six-point dogs. Tennessee gets better QB play from Jake Locker than the Jets get from Mark Sanchez. Titans HC Munchak may NEED to win here to save his job as owner Bud Adams has been quite critical of his performance this season. Look for the Titans to ruin the Jets season. 8* Tennessee

Marc's Monday Night Magic NFL Killer Key Play!


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
Play On: NY Jets (Game 331) Note: Despite the fact that the Jets are frauds posing as playoff contenders, they hit the Music City with just too many good numbers too ignore. For starters, they are 8-1 ATS on the road off a previous road game versus losing opposition and 6-1 ATS away against the AFC South. They are also 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS in this series since 1999, including 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in Nashville. And though the Titans have been ready for some football (3-0 SU and ATS last three Mondays) and are playing hard (4-0 'In The Stats' last four) for second-year head coach Mike Munchak, one problem is they are going nowhere while the Jets are trying to steal a Wild Card spot (it would be criminal if they got in) in this year's playoff race. The other concern for the Titans is a nasty 0-8 ATS mark off a SU loss versus a sub. 500 foe off a SU and ATS win from Game Thirteen out. We recommend a 3-unit play on the NY Jets. Thank you and good luck as always.

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
The Jets were on a 2-6 losing streak before winning back-to-back games the last 2 weeks, but don't put too much stock in those wins, as they were against teams combining for a 6-20 SU record this season, with both teams in the bottom 5 for NFL wins. While the Jets offense has appeared to struggle all season behind QB Sanchez, they've been productive, scoring 27 points or more in 7 of their first 11 games. While the Jets have won their last 2 games, they struggled offensively, escaping with a 7-6 win over Arizona (4-9) and a 17-10 victory at Jacksonville (2-11), but these Jets are 4-0 Over/Under after scoring 17 points or less in back-to-back games during the last 3 seasons behind QB Sanchez. Even better, these Jets are now 8-1 Over/Under when playing their 2nd of back-to-back road games, including 2-0 Over/Under this season (9/23 @ Miami, 23-20 "Over," 11-11 @ St. Louis, 27-13 "Over"). The Jets reputation for playing stingy defense and owning a stagnant offense has forced Oddsmakers to keep the Total on Monday Night Football at a very fair number. We're backing the "Over," as we expect Jets QB Sanchez to wake up in front of a national television audience against a Titans squad that's allowing 30 points per game this season.

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
I'm playing the Over between the Jets and Titans on Monday night. New York still owns an outside shot at making the playoffs...even though their chances are quite small. But I expect them to do whatever they have to in order to win this game, which means they will likely have to open things up on offense. They're facing the "right" defense to do it against...the Titans are one of the worst in the league against the pass, defending the run, and in points allowed, giving up 29.7 ppg. The Jets are on an 11-2 Over run against defenses that allow a 64% or higher completion rate and Tennessee's pass defense fits the bill. The Jets' defense is not playing well against the run, ranked 28th in the league. Tonight, they'll have to face Titans' RB Chris Johnson (probable - ankle) who's capable of picking up big chunks of yardage in a hurry. The Titans also plan to open up the offense as they look to get Kenny Britt (probable) involved early and often. Jets' road games are 19-7 to the Over the last 26 times, while the Titans are on a 21-10-2 Over run at home against teams with a losing record. I'm playing the Over between the Jets & Titans on Monday. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer.

The Mastodons fell 63-52 and 74-64 in those two games, but covered the spread in each. Overall, IPFW has covered three straight. Notre Dame does come into this game off 7 straight wins, but the Irish have been poor over the years as big favorites. Indeed, since 2001, Notre Dame is just 21-38 ATS as home favorites of -11 or more points, including 9-24 ATS vs. a foe off a SU loss. IPFW's defense is allowing just 61.3 ppg this year, and hasn't lost by more than 13 points in any of its 11 games. Take the Mastodons plus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Detroit U at Syracuse Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over Detroit. The Titans come into this game off four straight home wins, including an 80-73 comeback victory over Akron on Saturday. But now Detroit has to take to the road, and the road has not been kind to it this season. Indeed, at home Detroit is a perfect 6-0, including nice wins over Drake, Toledo and the aforementioned victory vs. Akron two days ago. But away from home, it's a completely different story, as Detroit is 0-4, with losses to St. Johns, Miami, Bowling Green and Pitt. And the Titans are 1-3 ATS in those four losses, with the only cover by a mere half-point. I look for that trend to continue tonight, as the Carrier Dome is a tough venue for visiting teams. Detroit falls into a negative 38-95 ATS system of mine which fades certain road teams off home wins. Additionally, this season, underdogs of 19+ points are an awful 0-9 ATS off a SU/ATS win. Syracuse is a perfect 6-0 ATS this season vs. Non-Conference opposition, and it will blow out Detroit. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Montana State at Northern Arizona Dec 17 2012 8:35PM
25* graded play on Montana State as they take on Northern Arizona set to start at 8:35 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that MS will lose this game by six or fewer points and has an excellent shot at winning the game. I like playing this opportunity as a combination bet using a 20* amount on the line and a 5* using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 57-25 mark for 70% winners since 2006. Play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games and is a struggling team winning between 20% to 40% of their games and is now playing a team with a losing record. The sim also shows high probabilities that MS will attempt between 19 and 24 free throws; that NA will attempt between 54 and 62 shots, will have between 9 and 13 offensive boards, and will commit between 14 and 18 turnovers. In past games, MS is 11-3 ATS when they attempt 19 to 24 free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons; NA is just 3-12 ATS when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game over the last two seasons; 3-11 ATS when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons; 2-9 ATS when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons. NA is on a horrid 5-19 ATS run after playing a game as a dog over the last 2 seasons. This is a matchup of two teams that don’t play defense well. Yet, MS has a big time advantage on the offensive end. MS ranks 85th in the nation averaging 72 PPG while the NA defense ranks 310th allowing 76.8 PPG. MS ranks 328th allowing 78.8 PPG, but NA ranks just 142nd averaging 67 PPG. Moreover, MS has a huge edge in offensive rebounding and this will generate a huge edge in second chance scoring opportunities. Take Montana State.


Prediction: Montana State








Team Del Genio 10* BLOWOUT of the Wk -11-5 L4 Days


Cornell at Vanderbilt Dec 17 2012 9:00PM
Play on Vanderbilt at 9:00 ET. Considering the ugly start for the Commies thus far, this is a game they need to win & win big. We think they will. They have won three of four since that disastrous 50-33 loss to Marist on a neutral floor. Cornell too has won three of its last four games, but an Ivy League team that shoots this poorly doesn't figure to do very well taking their act into a SEC gym. I think the Big Red is also likely to be a bit rusty as this is their first game in more than two weeks. They have not played since a 70-63 win over Colgate on December 1st. If their first two "true" road games are any indication, this will be a long night for Cornell. They managed just 40 at Wisconsin and 53 at Arizona State, losing both games by double digits. Cornell shot 26% and 35% in those two games. Vandy has obviously struggled to score at times this season, but has been surprisingly solid defensively, allowing just 57.7 PPG on the year. They have a pair of game under their belt since the last time Cornell played, including an impressive upset at Xavier as 11.5-point road dogs. Last game, they outshot outmanned Alabama A&M 51% to 32%. They are 36-19 ATS off a home win by 20+ points. But perhaps the real key to this game for Vanderbilt is the return of Dai-Jon Parker, who was projected to be the starting shooting guard before the season when he was suspended. Vanderbilt is our 10* BLOWOUT of the Week.


Prediction: Vanderbilt








Larry's 10* Underdog of the Month (6 in a row?)


UNLV at Texas-El Paso Dec 17 2012 8:00PM
My 10* Underdog Game of the Month is on UTEP at 8:00 ET.


UNLV (8-1) takes a six-game winning streak to EL Paso tonight in a game vs the 3-4 Miners. The 20th-ranked Rebels will move forward without the 6-8 Mike Moser (10.9-8.3) for at least a month with a dislocated elbow. However, there is some good news. Khem Birch, a 6-9 transfer from Pitt and a former McDonald's All-American, is scheduled to make his debut for the Rebels Monday night. He’ll join 6-8 freshman Bennett, who is off to a terrific start, leading UNLV in scoring (20.3 PPG) and rebounding (8.9 RPG) and senior guard Anthony Marshall (10.8-4.3-5.3). Big things are expected from Birch and Dave Rice’s team has also seen significant contributions from two other newcomers, 6-5 freshman Reinhardt (9.9-3.1 APG) and 6-6 USC transfer Dejean-Jones (8.4). UTEP head coach Tim Floyd has his hands full and this year’s Miners own just two double digit scorers, the 6-7 Julian Washburn (12.0) and the 6-10 Bohannon (11.6-5.4). However, UTEP is a perfect 3-0 SU at home this season. The Miners are averaging just 56.7 PPG (haven't scored 70 all season) but they are hoping they can draw UNLV into a slow-paced game. The Rebels’ attack can be disrupted by playing zone and by forcing them into half-court mode, where their offense often becomes little more than one which turns into a flurry of hurried shots from the perimeter. UNLV had failed to cover its previous NINE away from home when it visited Cal a week ago Sunday (Dec 9) but escaped with a win and cover, 76-75. Note that UNLV was a 1 1/2-point dog in that one and was fortunate that Cal missed some key FTs, late. Here, UNLV will be laying a ‘TD’ or more and will need a much better effort to get the ATS win. Guard Konner Tucker is listed as probable for this game, which will be his first action since suffering a broken hand during preseason play. He averaged 12.0 PPG with San Houston State last season and will join PG Streeter (7.3-5.0 APG) and Ragland (6.7 PPG but 17 points in his last outing) on the perimeter. Floyd knows how to utilize various defensive tricks and junk zones that have bothered UNLV in the recent past and let me also note that not only is UTEP 3-0 at home this year but the Miners have won 14 of their last 15 December home games. Take the points!


Good luck...Larry

Fargo's 10* CBB BIG BITE BEATDOWN (65% LIFETIME!)


Texas State at Northwestern Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
This is a very tough spot for Texas St. The Bobcats are coming off their first true road game of the season at Texas on Saturday and came up short against the hated Longhorns. They lost by 12 points but actually trailed by just four points late in the game but were unable to make the necessary stops to try and pull off the upset. Texas St. has now lost 24 straight meeting with Texas and while that cannot constitute it as a rivalry, it knows it had a shot and threw it away. "We're actually more disappointed than we ever have been since we've come in here, because we felt there were opportunities to win this game," Bobcats head coach Doug Davalos said. "We couldn't sustain." That makes the travel to Northwestern just two days later even more difficult. The Wildcats have never been to the NCAA Tournament but this was supposed to be the year that streak finally ends. Once again though, they are faced with adversity as another major injury looks to derail Northwestern. The Wildcats lost swingman Drew Crawford for the season as he sustained a shoulder injury in their last game against Butler. He was second on the team in scoring with 13.5 ppg and was fourth in rebounding with 4.6 rpg. It is a major blow for sure but being the first game back since then, expect the rest of the team to rise up as we often see this when a big player goes down. Making the motivation even stronger is the fact that Northwestern has lost three straight games at home after starting off 4-0 so it will be out to lay a hurting on the Bobcats. Texas St. is 0-4 ATS in its last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while the Wildcats are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a losing record. This one turns into a blowout. 10* (716) Northwestern Wildcats

Sam Martin's 20* CBB "UNDERDOG DEMOLITION" (6-1)!!


Texas State at Northwestern Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
20* Play on Texas State. Way too many points for Northwestern to be laying here against Texas State, especially considering the poor shooting performances the Wildcats have had lately. Northwestern has been held to under 40% shooting in five of their last six games overall, with four of those five bad shooting outings seeing the Wildcats shoot under 35% from the floor. In fact, while we're not calling for an outright win by the dog here tonight, NW has lost outright each of the last three times they were installed as favorites, including a 50-44 loss as an 11-point home favorite against Illinois Chicago.


That game was a bad scheduling spot for Northwestern, who just came off a bad loss against Maryland (lost by 20 as a 4.5-point favorite) and had a tough game against Baylor on deck. Tonight's game is a similar scheduling spot for the Wildcats, who are coming off a tough nine-point loss against Baylor (as a small home favorite) and have a tough matchup on deck against Stanford looming next. Texas State averages 74 points per game and their offense is more than capable of staying close to Northwestern here, who prefers to play at a much slower pace than most other teams. NW wins this game outright, but not by double-digits! 20* Play on Texas State.

Fargo's 10* NBA MONDAY ENFORCER (SWEET 26-16 RUN)


Sacramento Kings at Phoenix Suns Dec 17 2012 9:05PM
Sacramento is coming off a home blowout loss last night against Denver as they went down by 25 points which makes it four straight losses for the Kings, all of which have come by double-digits. They have all come against teams that are currently in playoff positions or sitting right outside the top eight in each conference and the opponent tonight is not part of that group. Backing Sacramento may not seem logical at this point but this is the time to play on them as we have the value and the anti-public scenario on our side. Phoenix had dropped seven straight games prior to winning its last two games over Memphis and Utah. That is not a huge surprise however as the Suns have been a team that has either stepped up to the competition or played down to the level as they are just 1-9 ATS against teams with a losing record this season. Additionally, Phoenix is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 games following a victory and the Suns haven't been favored by this many points all season and they are 0-3 ATS of favorites of four points or more. Sacramento has definitely struggled against the NBA's better teams, going just 3-13 against teams ranked in the top 16 but the Kings are a much more respectable 4-3 against the bottom 14 teams. Overall, Sacramento has played a schedule ranked seventh in the NBA so that has definitely played a part in the struggles. These teams are separated by just a game and half in the Western Conference standings which does not correlate to the spread we are given here. 10* (711) Sacramento Kings

Burns NBA


San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder Dec 17 2012 8:05PM
I'm playing on OKLAHOMA CITY. The Spurs eked out a 2-point win when these teams met at San Antonio last month. With tonight's rematch being played at OKC, I expect the revenge-minded Thunder to return the favor. While they haven't covered their last couple of games, the Thunder are still on a serious roll. In fact, they've won 10 straight and have vaulted to the top of the overall standings. The Thunder haven't lost yet this entire month and they're averaging 109.6 points while shooting better than 50& during their current winning streak. I feel that the Spurs, who are without Jackson and who may be without Manu Ginobili, will have some trouble keeping up. Even if he does play, Ginobili may be at less than 100%. Meanwhile, Duncan is off a game in which he scored just five points, while making just two of 13 shots. The Thunder are typically at their best when attempting to avenge an earlier loss, going 44-26 ATS (47-23 SU) the last 70 times that they were in that situation, including 5-2 SU/ATS the last seven. The Thunder are also a lucrative 12-7 ATS (13-6 SU) the last 19 times that they were listed as home favorites in the 3.5 to 6 range. They're 4-1 SU/ATS their last five home games against the Spurs, including 3-0 SU/ATS the last three. I expect them to keep on rolling for another day. *9 Personal Favorite

Sam Martin's 20* NBA "VEGAS INFERNO" WINNER (18-7)


Los Angeles Clippers at Detroit Pistons Dec 17 2012 7:35PM
20* Play on LA Clippers. We backed the Clippers in their 26-point blowout win against Milwaukee on Saturday night, and we'll back them again here against another struggling offense in the Pistons. We loved the offensive matchup in that Clippers win on Saturday, as we do here as well. LA's 111-point effort was the eighth time in the last nine games they have put up triple-digits on the scoreboard, and here they face a Detroit team that has shot 42% or worse in four straight games, including a 77-point effort their last time out in an 11-point home loss against the Pacers.


We don't see how the Pistons can keep up with the Clippers here tonight, and while LA obviously has momentum on their side (have won nine straight heading into tonight), the Clippers also have an added incentive in this game going for a four-game sweep of their current road trip. Detroit's defense has also been slumping of late, allowing 100+ points in five of their last seven games overall - a stark contrast to LA's six-game streak of holding opponents to under 100 points scored. Big advantages on both ends of the court plus the added momentum and motivation favoring the road side leads the Clippers to yet another blowout win! 20* Play on LA Clippers.

Ryan’s NBA 25* TOP RATED Titan; 14-5 ATS run

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder Dec 17 2012 8:05PM25* graded play on the Oklahoma City Thunder as they take on the San Antonio Spurs set to start at 8:05 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that the Thunder will win this game by six or more points. High scoring affairs are to the Thunder liking and the sim shows a high probability that they will score more than 105 points. In past games, the Thunder are 11-3 ATS when they score 105 or more points in a game this season. Moreover, they are a near-perfect 8-1 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season; 11-3 ATS when facing teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots per game this season; 22-10 ATS (+11.0 Units) after scoring 60 points or more in the first half last game over the last 3 seasons. Ginobilli was injured in the last game and is listed as doubtful for this game and this is a significant loss for the Spurs. Thunder are the top offensive team in the NBA averaging 105.7 PPG and rank 11th allowing 96.4 PPG. San Antonio is a near equal, but are not the team the Thunder is right now. Spurs rank second averaging 104.8 PPG and 112th allowing 97.0 PPG. Turnovers are not an issue as both teams rank in the second half of the NBA due to their high paced styles of play. The Spurs can be more aggressive on defense against the majority of NBA teams, but cannot play that style against the more athletic and quicker Thunder squad. As LeBron answered, when asked ‘what player he fears the most’ his answer was Durant and he is not the only one. Take the Thunder.

Nick's 10* NFL MR. MONDAY NIGHT DOMINATOR

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PMWe will side with the home team Titans here, New York is somehow in the Wild Card discussion but their record as a dog under a TD is only 1-3, and that is enough for us to stay away. Mark Sanchez has helped contribute to an absolutely brutal team QB rating of 71.3 and even more putrid on grass, with a 63.8 rating. The Jets have managed a 2-1 record on grass this season however with that weak of quarterback play it makes it tough to get behind. The Titans are still a run first team with Chris Johnson collecting his fifth straight 1,000 yard season. If youngster Jake Locker can limit his mistakes, he has aired the ball out at least 40 times in the last three games, and the Titans can lean on their run game, we will see a Titans win and less talk about Tebow and the Jets miniscule playoff chances. Take the Titans.

MURRAY HILL’S 15* AFC GAME OF THE YEAR


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
New York Jets at Tennessee – We have found TWO TERRIFIC SUPER SYSTEMS that support a play on the New York Jets. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (TENNESSEE) after allowing 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt last game against opponent after gaining 5.5 or less passing yards/attempt in last game. This system has cashed 69.1% (47-21) of the time over the last 10 seasons. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (TENNESSEE) a terrible defensive team (>=370 YPG) against an average defensive team (295 to 335 YPG). This system has cashed 66.2% (51-26) of the time since 1983. Consider the team trends. New York Jets are 13-7 ATS in games where the line is +3 to -3, 5-1 ATS against AFC South division opponents and 5-0 ATS off 1 or more consecutive unders. Tennessee is 3-11 ATS after gaining 6 or more yards/play in their previous game, 2-9 ATS as a favorite and 12-22 ATS against conference opponents. Take the New York Jets plus the points




Ryan;s MNF 25* Top Rated Titan; 19-6 ATS run


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
25* graded play on the the New York Jets as they take on the Tennessee Titans set to start at 8:30 PM ET on Monday Night Football. The simulator shows a high probability that the Jets will win this game and keep their faint playoff hopes alive. Let’s not overestimate the fact that their backs are against the playoff contending walls and that the team from top to bottom know it has been another disappointing season. Still, I believe they will play with a sense of urgency and since they are away from the NY media, will be able to perform at an optimal level. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 47-21 record for 69% winners since 2002. Play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after allowing 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt last game and is now facing an opponent after gaining 5.5 or less passing yards per attempt in last game. 48% of the plays made based on the criteria of this system covered the spread by seven or more points. Here is a reinforcing and very simple system that has produced a winning mark of 27-8 for 77% winners since 2006. Play on any team using the money line off a road win when playing on Monday night. Titans are just 3-11 ATS after gaining six or more yards per play in their previous game over the last 3 seasons. The sim shows that the Jets defense will shut down the anemic Titan offense and hold them to fewer than 21 points. The Titans are just 1-9 ATS when they score between 14 and 21 points in a game spanning the past three seasons. The Titans are essentially a one dimensional team with running back CJ and theri p;lay has been as inconsistent as his this season. The Titans will give CJ a heavy dose of touches tonight behind a decent OL. Although the Jets have struggled in run defense this season, ranking 26th allowing 136.4 YPG, they do have the personnel to contain CJ. Opponents that have contained CJ and the Titans rushing attack and have certain not to get sealed in on the edges and the Jets do this well. The Jest can also bring the second line up closer to the LOS anticipating wham plays and counter traps. In passing downs, the Jets are best served not to bring pressure and collapse the pocket into Locker. He is dangerous when flushed out, but somewhat ordinary when he is contained. The Jets will also have one of their safeties play a bit deeper over the middle as Locker has a tendency to over throw passes, which end up sailing on him. I like the Jets tonight to roll.

Fargo's 10* NFL STAR ATTRACTION (EPIC 18-5-1 RUN)


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
We won with the Jets last Sunday against Jacksonville and we will back them again here. The two-game winning streak has put them back in the hunt for the playoffs and with a very favorable schedule to close out, they are in excellent shape but will obviously still need some help along the way. The public is still fading this team which is just fine as it gives us good value with the number in what is a must win spot. Normally, cases like that lead to inflated numbers but that is not the case here. Tennessee lost its third straight game last week at Indianapolis and it has dropped five of its last six games to fall out of the playoff picture. The Titans will no doubt try and bring their A game here with this game being on national television but the problem is they don't have much of an A game. They have struggled on both sides of the ball but turnovers remain the biggest factor in their struggles as their 26 giveaways are tied for third most in the AFC. The Jets are no stranger to turnovers either but Tennessee has just 16 takeaways with is fifth fewest in the conference. New York has a chance to get the offense going once again as the titans are ranked 27th in the NFL in total defense and 31st in points allowed. I expected a bigger game from Mark Sanchez last week but we didn't get it but now he faces a unit ranked 26th in passing yards allowed and 24th in passing ypa allowed. The return of Braylon Edwards could be a huge boost as he is expected to play right away. New York still possesses a stout defense as it is ranked eighth overall and while the rushing defense has been a weakness, the Titans have not been able to do much of late. Running back Chris Johnson looked like he was finally out of his slump but he has been held to 175 yards on 53 carries (3.3 ypc) while failing to reach the end zone during the Titans' three-game slide. New York's defense has been excellent the past two weeks against the NFL's two worst offenses. The Jets fall into a great league-wide situation here as we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 370 or more total ypg going up against teams allowing between 295 and 335 total ypg. This situation is 51-26 ATS (66.2 percent) since 1983. Additionally, Tennessee is 2-9 ATS as a favorite over the last two seasons and is 5-23-1 ATS in its last 29 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in its previous game. The Jets playoff hopes stay alive. 10* (331) New York Jets

Team Del Genio MNF Winner (62-37-3 NFL Run!)


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
Play on Tennessee at 8:35 ET. We don't buy the Jets as playoff contenders, which they are in name only thanks a not very deep AFC. They enter this game at 6-7 thanks to lackluster wins over the likes of Arizona (7-6) and Jacksonville (17-10) the L2 wks. It speaks volumes that they are not favored. The only team w/ a winning record that the Jets have beaten this year is the Colts, whose point differential would seem to indicate they are overrated to begin with. Think about this for a second? The Jets in the playoffs? Talk about a time when the often-overreaching Roger Goodell should intervene! The Jets shouldn't be allowed to make the playoffs. Therefore, with the nation watching, let's take them to lose tonight to a Tennessee team that's basically playing its "Super Bowl." At 4-9, it's been a bad year for the Titans. But are they really any worse than New York? We don't think so. While Tennessee's defense is pretty bad, so is the Jets, who ranks third to last against the run. In other words, Titans RB Chris Johnson should bounce back from a three-game slump. The only time a 4-9 team on a three-game losing streak can be counted on to play hard is when they are getting a home game in primetime. Tennessee did win its only night game so far, beating the Steelers on a Thursday night. We had the Titans there as well, cashing outright as six-point dogs. Tennessee gets better QB play from Jake Locker than the Jets get from Mark Sanchez. Titans HC Munchak may NEED to win here to save his job as owner Bud Adams has been quite critical of his performance this season. Look for the Titans to ruin the Jets season. 8* Tennessee

Marc's Monday Night Magic NFL Killer Key Play!


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
Play On: NY Jets (Game 331) Note: Despite the fact that the Jets are frauds posing as playoff contenders, they hit the Music City with just too many good numbers too ignore. For starters, they are 8-1 ATS on the road off a previous road game versus losing opposition and 6-1 ATS away against the AFC South. They are also 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS in this series since 1999, including 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in Nashville. And though the Titans have been ready for some football (3-0 SU and ATS last three Mondays) and are playing hard (4-0 'In The Stats' last four) for second-year head coach Mike Munchak, one problem is they are going nowhere while the Jets are trying to steal a Wild Card spot (it would be criminal if they got in) in this year's playoff race. The other concern for the Titans is a nasty 0-8 ATS mark off a SU loss versus a sub. 500 foe off a SU and ATS win from Game Thirteen out. We recommend a 3-unit play on the NY Jets. Thank you and good luck as always.

IRON HORSE 10* MNF MILLIONAIRE'S ROW ***TOTAL***


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
The Jets were on a 2-6 losing streak before winning back-to-back games the last 2 weeks, but don't put too much stock in those wins, as they were against teams combining for a 6-20 SU record this season, with both teams in the bottom 5 for NFL wins. While the Jets offense has appeared to struggle all season behind QB Sanchez, they've been productive, scoring 27 points or more in 7 of their first 11 games. While the Jets have won their last 2 games, they struggled offensively, escaping with a 7-6 win over Arizona (4-9) and a 17-10 victory at Jacksonville (2-11), but these Jets are 4-0 Over/Under after scoring 17 points or less in back-to-back games during the last 3 seasons behind QB Sanchez. Even better, these Jets are now 8-1 Over/Under when playing their 2nd of back-to-back road games, including 2-0 Over/Under this season (9/23 @ Miami, 23-20 "Over," 11-11 @ St. Louis, 27-13 "Over"). The Jets reputation for playing stingy defense and owning a stagnant offense has forced Oddsmakers to keep the Total on Monday Night Football at a very fair number. We're backing the "Over," as we expect Jets QB Sanchez to wake up in front of a national television audience against a Titans squad that's allowing 30 points per game this season.

SCOTT SPREITZER'S MNF OV/UN DOMINATOR! *85% ATS!


New York Jets at Tennessee Titans Dec 17 2012 8:40PM
I'm playing the Over between the Jets and Titans on Monday night. New York still owns an outside shot at making the playoffs...even though their chances are quite small. But I expect them to do whatever they have to in order to win this game, which means they will likely have to open things up on offense. They're facing the "right" defense to do it against...the Titans are one of the worst in the league against the pass, defending the run, and in points allowed, giving up 29.7 ppg. The Jets are on an 11-2 Over run against defenses that allow a 64% or higher completion rate and Tennessee's pass defense fits the bill. The Jets' defense is not playing well against the run, ranked 28th in the league. Tonight, they'll have to face Titans' RB Chris Johnson (probable - ankle) who's capable of picking up big chunks of yardage in a hurry. The Titans also plan to open up the offense as they look to get Kenny Britt (probable) involved early and often. Jets' road games are 19-7 to the Over the last 26 times, while the Titans are on a 21-10-2 Over run at home against teams with a losing record. I'm playing the Over between the Jets & Titans on Monday. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer.

BIG AL's 73% COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME OF THE MONTH!


IPFW at Notre Dame Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
At 7 pm, our selection is on the IPFW Mastodons plus the points over Notre Dame, as IPFW falls into 22-1, 115-39 and 44-13 ATS systems of mine based on their last two games, road losses at Valpo and Drake. The Mastodons fell 63-52 and 74-64 in those two games, but covered the spread in each. Overall, IPFW has covered three straight. Notre Dame does come into this game off 7 straight wins, but the Irish have been poor over the years as big favorites. Indeed, since 2001, Notre Dame is just 21-38 ATS as home favorites of -11 or more points, including 9-24 ATS vs. a foe off a SU loss. IPFW's defense is allowing just 61.3 ppg this year, and hasn't lost by more than 13 points in any of its 11 games. Take the Mastodons plus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

BIG AL's DOUBLE 100% PERFECT NCAA HOOPS ROADKILL!


Detroit U at Syracuse Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over Detroit. The Titans come into this game off four straight home wins, including an 80-73 comeback victory over Akron on Saturday. But now Detroit has to take to the road, and the road has not been kind to it this season. Indeed, at home Detroit is a perfect 6-0, including nice wins over Drake, Toledo and the aforementioned victory vs. Akron two days ago. But away from home, it's a completely different story, as Detroit is 0-4, with losses to St. Johns, Miami, Bowling Green and Pitt. And the Titans are 1-3 ATS in those four losses, with the only cover by a mere half-point. I look for that trend to continue tonight, as the Carrier Dome is a tough venue for visiting teams. Detroit falls into a negative 38-95 ATS system of mine which fades certain road teams off home wins. Additionally, this season, underdogs of 19+ points are an awful 0-9 ATS off a SU/ATS win. Syracuse is a perfect 6-0 ATS this season vs. Non-Conference opposition, and it will blow out Detroit. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Ryan’s CBB 25* TOP RATED Titan; 76% L 21


Montana State at Northern Arizona Dec 17 2012 8:35PM
25* graded play on Montana State as they take on Northern Arizona set to start at 8:35 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that MS will lose this game by six or fewer points and has an excellent shot at winning the game. I like playing this opportunity as a combination bet using a 20* amount on the line and a 5* using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 57-25 mark for 70% winners since 2006. Play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games and is a struggling team winning between 20% to 40% of their games and is now playing a team with a losing record. The sim also shows high probabilities that MS will attempt between 19 and 24 free throws; that NA will attempt between 54 and 62 shots, will have between 9 and 13 offensive boards, and will commit between 14 and 18 turnovers. In past games, MS is 11-3 ATS when they attempt 19 to 24 free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons; NA is just 3-12 ATS when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game over the last two seasons; 3-11 ATS when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons; 2-9 ATS when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons. NA is on a horrid 5-19 ATS run after playing a game as a dog over the last 2 seasons. This is a matchup of two teams that don’t play defense well. Yet, MS has a big time advantage on the offensive end. MS ranks 85th in the nation averaging 72 PPG while the NA defense ranks 310th allowing 76.8 PPG. MS ranks 328th allowing 78.8 PPG, but NA ranks just 142nd averaging 67 PPG. Moreover, MS has a huge edge in offensive rebounding and this will generate a huge edge in second chance scoring opportunities. Take Montana State.

Team Del Genio 10* BLOWOUT of the Wk -11-5 L4 Days


Cornell at Vanderbilt Dec 17 2012 9:00PM
Play on Vanderbilt at 9:00 ET. Considering the ugly start for the Commies thus far, this is a game they need to win & win big. We think they will. They have won three of four since that disastrous 50-33 loss to Marist on a neutral floor. Cornell too has won three of its last four games, but an Ivy League team that shoots this poorly doesn't figure to do very well taking their act into a SEC gym. I think the Big Red is also likely to be a bit rusty as this is their first game in more than two weeks. They have not played since a 70-63 win over Colgate on December 1st. If their first two "true" road games are any indication, this will be a long night for Cornell. They managed just 40 at Wisconsin and 53 at Arizona State, losing both games by double digits. Cornell shot 26% and 35% in those two games. Vandy has obviously struggled to score at times this season, but has been surprisingly solid defensively, allowing just 57.7 PPG on the year. They have a pair of game under their belt since the last time Cornell played, including an impressive upset at Xavier as 11.5-point road dogs. Last game, they outshot outmanned Alabama A&M 51% to 32%. They are 36-19 ATS off a home win by 20+ points. But perhaps the real key to this game for Vanderbilt is the return of Dai-Jon Parker, who was projected to be the starting shooting guard before the season when he was suspended. Vanderbilt is our 10* BLOWOUT of the Week.


Prediction: Vanderbilt








Larry's 10* Underdog of the Month (6 in a row?)


UNLV at Texas-El Paso Dec 17 2012 8:00PM
My 10* Underdog Game of the Month is on UTEP at 8:00 ET.


UNLV (8-1) takes a six-game winning streak to EL Paso tonight in a game vs the 3-4 Miners. The 20th-ranked Rebels will move forward without the 6-8 Mike Moser (10.9-8.3) for at least a month with a dislocated elbow. However, there is some good news. Khem Birch, a 6-9 transfer from Pitt and a former McDonald's All-American, is scheduled to make his debut for the Rebels Monday night. He’ll join 6-8 freshman Bennett, who is off to a terrific start, leading UNLV in scoring (20.3 PPG) and rebounding (8.9 RPG) and senior guard Anthony Marshall (10.8-4.3-5.3). Big things are expected from Birch and Dave Rice’s team has also seen significant contributions from two other newcomers, 6-5 freshman Reinhardt (9.9-3.1 APG) and 6-6 USC transfer Dejean-Jones (8.4). UTEP head coach Tim Floyd has his hands full and this year’s Miners own just two double digit scorers, the 6-7 Julian Washburn (12.0) and the 6-10 Bohannon (11.6-5.4). However, UTEP is a perfect 3-0 SU at home this season. The Miners are averaging just 56.7 PPG (haven't scored 70 all season) but they are hoping they can draw UNLV into a slow-paced game. The Rebels’ attack can be disrupted by playing zone and by forcing them into half-court mode, where their offense often becomes little more than one which turns into a flurry of hurried shots from the perimeter. UNLV had failed to cover its previous NINE away from home when it visited Cal a week ago Sunday (Dec 9) but escaped with a win and cover, 76-75. Note that UNLV was a 1 1/2-point dog in that one and was fortunate that Cal missed some key FTs, late. Here, UNLV will be laying a ‘TD’ or more and will need a much better effort to get the ATS win. Guard Konner Tucker is listed as probable for this game, which will be his first action since suffering a broken hand during preseason play. He averaged 12.0 PPG with San Houston State last season and will join PG Streeter (7.3-5.0 APG) and Ragland (6.7 PPG but 17 points in his last outing) on the perimeter. Floyd knows how to utilize various defensive tricks and junk zones that have bothered UNLV in the recent past and let me also note that not only is UTEP 3-0 at home this year but the Miners have won 14 of their last 15 December home games. Take the points!


Good luck...Larry

Fargo's 10* CBB BIG BITE BEATDOWN (65% LIFETIME!)


Texas State at Northwestern Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
This is a very tough spot for Texas St. The Bobcats are coming off their first true road game of the season at Texas on Saturday and came up short against the hated Longhorns. They lost by 12 points but actually trailed by just four points late in the game but were unable to make the necessary stops to try and pull off the upset. Texas St. has now lost 24 straight meeting with Texas and while that cannot constitute it as a rivalry, it knows it had a shot and threw it away. "We're actually more disappointed than we ever have been since we've come in here, because we felt there were opportunities to win this game," Bobcats head coach Doug Davalos said. "We couldn't sustain." That makes the travel to Northwestern just two days later even more difficult. The Wildcats have never been to the NCAA Tournament but this was supposed to be the year that streak finally ends. Once again though, they are faced with adversity as another major injury looks to derail Northwestern. The Wildcats lost swingman Drew Crawford for the season as he sustained a shoulder injury in their last game against Butler. He was second on the team in scoring with 13.5 ppg and was fourth in rebounding with 4.6 rpg. It is a major blow for sure but being the first game back since then, expect the rest of the team to rise up as we often see this when a big player goes down. Making the motivation even stronger is the fact that Northwestern has lost three straight games at home after starting off 4-0 so it will be out to lay a hurting on the Bobcats. Texas St. is 0-4 ATS in its last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while the Wildcats are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a losing record. This one turns into a blowout. 10* (716) Northwestern Wildcats

Sam Martin's 20* CBB "UNDERDOG DEMOLITION" (6-1)!!


Texas State at Northwestern Dec 17 2012 7:00PM
20* Play on Texas State. Way too many points for Northwestern to be laying here against Texas State, especially considering the poor shooting performances the Wildcats have had lately. Northwestern has been held to under 40% shooting in five of their last six games overall, with four of those five bad shooting outings seeing the Wildcats shoot under 35% from the floor. In fact, while we're not calling for an outright win by the dog here tonight, NW has lost outright each of the last three times they were installed as favorites, including a 50-44 loss as an 11-point home favorite against Illinois Chicago.


That game was a bad scheduling spot for Northwestern, who just came off a bad loss against Maryland (lost by 20 as a 4.5-point favorite) and had a tough game against Baylor on deck. Tonight's game is a similar scheduling spot for the Wildcats, who are coming off a tough nine-point loss against Baylor (as a small home favorite) and have a tough matchup on deck against Stanford looming next. Texas State averages 74 points per game and their offense is more than capable of staying close to Northwestern here, who prefers to play at a much slower pace than most other teams. NW wins this game outright, but not by double-digits! 20* Play on Texas State.

Fargo's 10* NBA MONDAY ENFORCER (SWEET 26-16 RUN)


Sacramento Kings at Phoenix Suns Dec 17 2012 9:05PM
Sacramento is coming off a home blowout loss last night against Denver as they went down by 25 points which makes it four straight losses for the Kings, all of which have come by double-digits. They have all come against teams that are currently in playoff positions or sitting right outside the top eight in each conference and the opponent tonight is not part of that group. Backing Sacramento may not seem logical at this point but this is the time to play on them as we have the value and the anti-public scenario on our side. Phoenix had dropped seven straight games prior to winning its last two games over Memphis and Utah. That is not a huge surprise however as the Suns have been a team that has either stepped up to the competition or played down to the level as they are just 1-9 ATS against teams with a losing record this season. Additionally, Phoenix is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 games following a victory and the Suns haven't been favored by this many points all season and they are 0-3 ATS of favorites of four points or more. Sacramento has definitely struggled against the NBA's better teams, going just 3-13 against teams ranked in the top 16 but the Kings are a much more respectable 4-3 against the bottom 14 teams. Overall, Sacramento has played a schedule ranked seventh in the NBA so that has definitely played a part in the struggles. These teams are separated by just a game and half in the Western Conference standings which does not correlate to the spread we are given here. 10* (711) Sacramento Kings

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder Dec 17 2012 8:05PM
I'm playing on OKLAHOMA CITY. The Spurs eked out a 2-point win when these teams met at San Antonio last month. With tonight's rematch being played at OKC, I expect the revenge-minded Thunder to return the favor. While they haven't covered their last couple of games, the Thunder are still on a serious roll. In fact, they've won 10 straight and have vaulted to the top of the overall standings. The Thunder haven't lost yet this entire month and they're averaging 109.6 points while shooting better than 50& during their current winning streak. I feel that the Spurs, who are without Jackson and who may be without Manu Ginobili, will have some trouble keeping up. Even if he does play, Ginobili may be at less than 100%. Meanwhile, Duncan is off a game in which he scored just five points, while making just two of 13 shots. The Thunder are typically at their best when attempting to avenge an earlier loss, going 44-26 ATS (47-23 SU) the last 70 times that they were in that situation, including 5-2 SU/ATS the last seven. The Thunder are also a lucrative 12-7 ATS (13-6 SU) the last 19 times that they were listed as home favorites in the 3.5 to 6 range. They're 4-1 SU/ATS their last five home games against the Spurs, including 3-0 SU/ATS the last three. I expect them to keep on rolling for another day. *9 Personal Favorite

Sam Martin's 20* NBA "VEGAS INFERNO" WINNER (18-7)


Los Angeles Clippers at Detroit Pistons Dec 17 2012 7:35PM
20* Play on LA Clippers. We backed the Clippers in their 26-point blowout win against Milwaukee on Saturday night, and we'll back them again here against another struggling offense in the Pistons. We loved the offensive matchup in that Clippers win on Saturday, as we do here as well. LA's 111-point effort was the eighth time in the last nine games they have put up triple-digits on the scoreboard, and here they face a Detroit team that has shot 42% or worse in four straight games, including a 77-point effort their last time out in an 11-point home loss against the Pacers.


We don't see how the Pistons can keep up with the Clippers here tonight, and while LA obviously has momentum on their side (have won nine straight heading into tonight), the Clippers also have an added incentive in this game going for a four-game sweep of their current road trip. Detroit's defense has also been slumping of late, allowing 100+ points in five of their last seven games overall - a stark contrast to LA's six-game streak of holding opponents to under 100 points scored. Big advantages on both ends of the court plus the added momentum and motivation favoring the road side leads the Clippers to yet another blowout win! 20* Play on LA Clippers.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball

3-Unit Play. #718. Take Florida State -25.5 over Louisiana-Monroe (Monday @ 7pm est).

I believe FSU is still angry about their recent home stand. For a Leonard Hamilton coached team, this really struggled in a 3 game stretch. Remember, they had already lost to South Alabama in the opening game of the season by five points. They then hammered Buffalo, BYU, St. Joseph's and North Florida. But, recently they have fallen short to Minnesota by 9, losing to Mercer by 5 and Florida by 25 which was probably the topper and the boiling point. In their next game they faced Maine as a top 340 team and beat them 91-59 at home which was a 32 point differential. Now, they face a similarly ranked team once again in Louisiana-Monroe. With Leonard Hamilton still fuming from the series of losses, I expect FSU to hold down the pedal for a morale victory if you will here. This team is still top 55 in effective field goal efficiency and top 30 in the nation in 3 point field goals as the points can come in a flurry for FSU. Louisiana-Monroe lost to Oklahoma this year who is a top 80 team by about 34 points and with both teams showing similar results against the power rankings, I have this difference today at about 33 points this evening with FSU likely covering the spread against this Sun-Belt opponent. (Also had a lean on Arkansas Little Rock who has revenge against La Tech form an earlier season loss, I don't think Arkansas Little Rock shoots sub 31% at home as they did on the road. Again, its just a lean).

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

3-Unit Play. #702. Take Orlando Magic +3.5 over Minnesota (Monday @ 7:05pm est).

5-Unit Play. #706. Take New York Knicks -9.5 over Houston (Monday @ 7:30pm est).

The Magic have been playing decent basketball and this includes dismantling Golden State by 14 at home despite State having revenge against Orlando. That game itself will perk your ears. Combine that with the fact this team did not have a let down by any means and went on the road to defeat Charlotte by 9 says volumes. This team has won its last 3 of 4 straight up and their new head coach is making progress with this squad. With strong guard play from Affalo and Nelson, along with Glen Davis, this team has a core to work with. Plus, the emergence of draft pick Andrew Nicholson from St. Bonaventure has been a blessing for this team as well as they have increased depth and continued spacing from J.J. Reddick who has turned out to be a solid pro for this squad. With Minnesota having Miami on the horizon for their next game and the Magic having played well against top 10 teams at home and now they face a 10-15 squad, I like Orlando to do well here against a team they lost to by double-digits on the road earlier this year. This sets up well for a revenge contest against Minnesota at home and a decent play on Orlando to possibly win Outright. The Knicks are 18-5 this year but one of their losses do come against the Rockets. And, that loss was one of the worst losses this team had to swallow. New York lost that game 131-103 on the road during the west coast road trip. I look for New York who played without Melo against the Cavs to be much more in sync with Melo at home. Carmello does not want Lin to get the best of him twice and this line reminds me a lot of when the public was all over the Lakers on the road and we took New York as a 7* selection at that time. This time we will keep it relatively simple with a 5* today as the Knicks have revenge, the public is backing Houston with the points (similar to the Celtics game recently on the road at San Antonio this weekend) and this sets up for a Knicks revenge game to likely win by double-digits. The Rockets are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and the Knicks are 18-5 ATS at home when facing a team with a losing road record.

Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets still have slim playoff hopes.
The final "Monday Night Football" game of the year isn't a marquee matchup like last week, but it still has playoff implications as the New York Jets take on the Tennessee Titans.
For the Jets, it has been a season mostly to forget. The Tim Tebow acquisition has played out as many thought it would, creating a distraction for the team, while Tebow hasn't significantly helped on the field at all. Mark Sanchez appears to have taken steps backward, though losing Santonio Holmes for the season in Week 4 and having Dustin Keller healthy for only eight games certainly haven't helped. Still, Sanchez's QBR is at 29.1 (34th of 36 qualifying quarterbacks), the lowest of his career, and he doesn't appear to making strides to be the franchise quarterback the Jets envisioned.


For the 4-9 Titans, it also has been a season to forget. Losers of four of their past five games, the Titans limp into the game having been beaten by 14 or more points six times this year.Jake Locker has flashed the potential to be a franchise quarterback, but also displayed the inexperience of a second-year starter. The pick-six from the shadow of his goal line last week at Indianapolis is a prime example of the latter.Chris Johnson has had a good season with 1,037 yards rushing, but with the 29th-ranked offense and 27th-ranked defense according to Football Outsiders DVOA, it's hard to get excited about the future in Tennessee right now.
The Jets are 7-6 against the spread this season (4-2 ATS on the road), and the Titans are 4-9 ATS (2-4 ATS at home). Despite that, the public is backing the Titans so far (59.8 percent), according to ESPN Insider's PickCenter.
Let's get line analysis from Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hotel and a pick against the spread from Geoff Kulesa of Wunderdog Sports.
New York Jets at Tennessee Titans

Spread: Opened Titans minus-2.5, now Titans minus-2
Total: Opened 42, still 42
Kornegay says: "We opened the Titans as minus-2.5 favorites over the Jets and it quickly dropped to minus-1.5. For most the week, the books offered Tennessee either minus-1.5 or minus-2. We don't expect a lot of New York support and therefore the line should creep up to a solid minus-2 to -2.5 by kickoff. The total remained 42 all week but it might drop down a bit on game day."
Prediction: Line should move up to Titans minus-2.5, total could drop
Wunderdog says: "Go ahead and laugh at the Jets all you want, but the fact is they still have a shot at the postseason and they are playing a very winnable game tonight. The playoffs are a stretch for the Jets, but three wins in their final three games puts them at 9-7 and they finish the season against the Titans, Chargers and Bills -- three teams that are out of it.
"New York is 4-1 ATS in its last five road games and the Jets certainly have the talent to win this game, especially against a Titans team that is just 2-4 this season at home and has been outscored 75-52 in three straight losses. New York's strength is the ground game, ranked 13th in the NFL. The Tennessee defense is allowing 127 yards rushing per game (24th) and 250 yards passing per contest (26th). Tennessee has been bad from Week 1 and isn't getting any better, losing five of its past six. The Titans are on a 1-5 ATS run, 3-7 ATS in their past 10 games following a loss and 0-5 ATS in their past five games in December.
"Of late, the Jets have been playing like a desperate team, and it's been working. The Jets are 6-0 ATS in their past six meetings, including 4-0 ATS in their past four meetings in Tennessee. The past three seasons, New York has taken care of business against teams with losing records, going 14-3 straight-up such games. Play the Jets here."
