NBA Preview: Jazz (10-20) at Clippers (20-11)

Date: December 29, 2014 10:30 PM EDT

The Los Angeles Clippers went 1-3 over a difficult stretch, but it appears the schedule is about to turn in their favor.

The Clippers try to bounce back from their first home loss in six weeks with a 12th straight victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night at Staples Center.

After losing in San Antonio and at Southeast Division-leading Atlanta on back-to-back nights, Los Angeles (20-11) opened a nine-game homestand with an impressive 100-86 win over league-best Golden State on Christmas. The Clippers had little left in the tank for an afternoon game against Eastern Conference-leading Toronto two days later, falling behind by as many as 17 in a 110-98 defeat.

'It felt like we ran out of gas before the game even started,' Chris Paul said.

Paul missed 9 of 12 shots and matched a season low with 10 points. He averaged 23.3 points in his previous four games.

"Every team I've ever been on, you go through a stretch we've been on, you have some slippage," J.J. Redick told the Clippers' official website. "We've just played a lot of games in a short amount of time. We've had some road games, some road trips, been east three times before Christmas. It's been hard to practice. There's some continuity lost by not doing that."

Los Angeles' eight-game home winning streak ended Saturday, but it seems to have a good chance for a couple more victories at Staples Center by facing New York on New Year's Eve and Philadelphia two days later.

Before looking ahead to the East's two worst teams, the Clippers first turn their attention to the Jazz, a team they've beaten 11 straight times since a 108-79 loss on Jan. 17, 2012.

This is Los Angeles' longest active win streak over a single opponent, and Utah's longest active losing streak to one team.

Blake Griffin led the way in the two meetings this season, scoring 31 in a 107-101 home win on Nov. 3, and 28 in a 112-96 victory in Utah on Nov. 29. The Clippers shot a season-best 56.3 percent at Salt Lake City, and have made at least half their shots in five of the last six meetings at Staples Center.

The Jazz (10-20) arrive in Los Angeles having won four of five following a 1-12 stretch, though, three of their latest victories have come over teams with losing records.

Utah forced 18 turnovers and limited the 76ers to an opponent season-low 32.4 percent shooting in Saturday's 88-71 victory. The Jazz had a one-point lead in the fourth quarter and outscored Philadelphia 29-16 over the final 12 minutes to pull away.

"We executed at the end of the game," Utah coach Quin Snyder said. "That was the one thing, I thought, for us that you could take away as a positive."

Derrick Favors led the surge down the stretch, getting seven points and six rebounds in the fourth. He finished with 17 points, a season high-tying 15 rebounds and five blocked shots.

Gordon Hayward had a rough night against Philadelphia, going 4 of 14 after shooting 55.1 percent - including 9 of 14 from 3-point range - in his previous four games. He has had no trouble finding his shot against the Clippers this season, totaling 57 points and hitting 9 of 17 3-pointers.

Trey Burke, who had 17 points Saturday, has been not nearly as efficient versus Los Angeles, combining for nine points on 2-of-11 shooting.

STRIKE POINT SPORTS (Bowl Game)
7-Unit Play. Take #242 Arkansas (-6) over Texas (9 p.m., Monday, Dec. 29)
Note: This is the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl
We have loved Arkansas all season. I could care less where this game is being played. This is a team, that would be playing in a much better bowl game if they played in another conference, including the Big 12. Arkansas went on a stretch where they played Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi State, LSU, Mississippi, and Missouri, in six out of seven weeks, and they played each one of those teams tough (losing to Alabama by 1, Georgia by 13, Mississippi State by 7, they beat LSU by 17, beat Ole Miss by 30, and lost to Missouri by 7 after blowing a late lead). Those games made this team better and better as the season went on. This Razorbacks team is one of the best rushing teams in college football, and this will allow them to completely dominate the clock versus Texas. Arkansas is going to stick to their game play that got them playing on the right right track, and Texas is going to do the same. The only bad thing for Texas is that they play a similar style to Arkanas, but the Razorbacks are better at it. Arkansas is 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss, and 5-0 ATS in their last five versus the Big 12. That trend just shows you that this team would be a powerhouse in another conference. Texas hasn’t done that well at the windown in their last seven late season games as they are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven December games. Lay the points in this one as the SEC team rolls.

BOB BALFE

West Virginia vs Texas A&M
West Virginia -2.5, 66
12/29/2014 2:00 PM
SELECTION:
WEST VIRGINIA -2.5

West Virginia comes into this game with the sad news their QB Clint Trickett not only can’t play today, but his career is over because of shots to the head. The good news is this offense is well oiled and their backup can run it against a very weak Texas A&M Defense that couldn’t stop much of anybody this year. This game is going to come down to turnovers and who wants it more. Both teams are more or less mirror images of each other on offense and defense. West Virginia has the better overall talent on their roster and will be playing extra hard to win this game for Trickett today. Take West Virginia.

Clemson vs Oklahoma
Oklahoma -4.5, 51.5
12/29/2014 5:05 PM
SELECTION:
CLEMSON +4.5

Oklahoma comes into this game with some key injuries to their best three players. There is really no telling how bad these injuries still are, but they all were pretty serious. All of the players appear to be ready to go today, but I don’t know how effective they are going to be against the best defense in the country and there is a chance they don’t finish the game and have to leave with injury. Oklahoma does not want to be in such a weak bowl game as they had high expectations this year. I don’t think this Offensive Line is athletic enough to play with these athletes on the Clemson side. The one good thing the Sooners have going for them is the QB change due to injury for Clemson. Cole Stoudt has been inconsistent this year. Stoudt is a senior and I expect him to manage the game well enough to not lose it for his team. The good news is this Oklahoma pass defense has been awful at times. I like the dog here. Take Clemson.

Texas vs Arkansas
Arkansas -7, 44
12/29/2014 9:00 PM
SELECTION:
TEXAS +7

Both teams just get into this game at 6-6. Texas has won some games on the road while Arkansas outside of their home stadium have looked awful. This is team that uses its massive size on the offensive line to bully teams running the football. The problem Arkansas is going to face today is this Texas Defense is really good and will not be bullied. The real key in this game is the suspensions in the secondary for the Razorbacks. This unit is now shuffled up and I believe Texas will be able to move the ball on them. This is a Texas Offensive Line that was very young coming into this year and lost a lot of players to injury. It really is a wonder that the Longhorns are in a bowl game today with all the players they lost since day 1 of the season. I think Texas has the better athletes here and am shocked this line is so high. This would not be a bad little money line play. Take Texas

NO LIMIT ---CLEMSON

This year’s Russell Athletic Bowl is a match-up between unranked Oklahoma and # 17 Clemson. Here"s a question; why would Oklahoma be inspired to play? This is a team that many thought would make a run for the National Championship and go undefeated. You have to have desire to win these games after a long layoff. The 9-3 Clemson Tigers are only giving up 17.6 points per game, ranking them 7th in the nation. They lost two of their first three games on the season, but only lost one more along the way to reach this bowl game. These are two schools that don't see each other often with Clemson looking to make a point in this post season affair. With the extra time off defenses usually have big advantage and if that is true then you have to give Clemson big advantage here. Tigers finally are healthy on offense so expect Clemson to score more than usual and win outright!! TAKE CLEMSON

Arkansas takes on Texas in the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl. Arkansas had a tough season in which they faced 8 top 25 teams, winning two of them. The Arkansas defense has been their strong suit, giving up just 20.3 points per game while their offense has struggled. For the Longhorns, Texas is led by sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes who has passed for 2352 yards and thrown for 13 touchdowns. Two very solid defenses leads to low scoring quick moving game and think getting near a TD is too much to give away for Arkansas. Their offense is not set up to win as a favorite. Additionlly, Texas coach has put this team thru hell and the remaining players are convinced that this is a great reward and next years season begins today!! TAKE TEXAS

8-Unit NBA Game of the Year

#707 Take Sacramento +2 over Brooklyn (7:30 p.m. EST, Monday)


We think the wrong team is favored here. These teams have similar records, but the Kings play in the Western Conference where they have earned their wins against tougher opponents. We think Sacramento is the better overall club here and expect them to get this win on the road. This Nets club is a real dysfunctional group this year. They should be a lot better than they have been and have been underachieving big time. The Kings have struggled a bit but you can attribute that more to off-the-court situations like DeMarcus Cousins' bizarre health issues and some upper management disagreements. But this team started off the season as one of the best teams in the league against the spread before Cousins got hurt and we think they can get back to that level of play and start covering a lot of games. And this one certainly qualifies as we had the Kings handicapped as three-point favorites in this one. We really love taking a small line on an underdog when we had that team favored. The Kings have certainly done their best work on the road where they are 8-4 ATS this season (4-1 ATS on the road against teams with a losing record). The Nets are just 6-9 ATS at home this season where the bookies routinely have them overrated.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

JASON SHARPE

NBA


3 Unit Play Take #707 Sacramento +2 over Brooklyn (7:35pm est):

The Sacramento Kings have been an above .500 team with DeMarcus Cousins in their lineup going a solid 11-8 but without him they were one of the worst teams in the NBA going 2-9 overall. The good news here is Cousins is back and leading the way again for the Kings. He was huge in their last game scoring 39 points in the win over the New York Knicks. It was an odd game as Sacramento led nearly the whole way only to almost let it slip away late before winning it in overtime but overall they looked like the much better of the two teams despite the close final score.

Brooklyn was hammered at home last game versus Indiana and there seems to be a lot of issues surrounding this team right now involving trade issues and other off the court things. The Nets have played a much easier schedule this season than the Kings also. No team has played more games versus the much tougher Western Conference than Sacramento this year. The Nets have just one win this entire season versus above .500 teams and that was an overtime victory while the Kings have 5 wins versus teams with winning marks and are 5-2 with Cousins in the lineup versus teams with losing records like the Nets.

Take Sacramento here. Big 8 unit CBB Game of the Year on Tuesday. I am on a roll this month in CBB action as I'm almost at an unheard of 70 percent winners overall. This is the hottest stretch I've ever been in CBB and I have a play I love lots going Tuesday. Join in the winning!!!

3-Unit Play. #708. Take Brooklyn -2 over Sacramento (Monday @ 7:35pm est)

Brooklyn has been playing very well overall and Lionel Hollins team has a much higher power ranking feature than their record would otherwise indicate. Brooklyn is still in the playoff hunt at 13-16 as you are always in the playoff hunt in the East these days as long as you can hover around .500. Now Brooklyn hooks up here with Sacramento who comes off a big overtime win over the Knicks. But take a look at Brooklyn of late. You will see that this team just lost to Indiana 85-110 and will be more than motivated coming into this game coming off such an ugly loss of 25 points. Prior to that loss this team had won 3 straight including beating a Detroit team that is rising, Denver at home and Boston on the road. All these lines were -2, -4 and +2 in those contests. Brooklyn has also covered 4 of its last 5 coming into this game. And though Sacramento comes off an impressive win in their last game in overtime, prior to that they had lost 7 of 9 contests and are 0-6-2 ATS over their last 8 contests to boot. Let’s roll with the team that is playing well right now in Brooklyn who comes off a bad loss whereas the Kings are in for a small let down here after their big win over the Knicks in overtime at home.

NBA Research Sunday: Milwaukee has revenge, which is why the line is as low as it is, Milwaukee has Cleveland on deck, Charlotte has Houston on docket, Chicago wins but falls short ATS wise in their last game, Chicago has Brooklyn on docket and Indiana has Miami on the docket, Brooklyn comes off an ugly loss and Sacramento comes off an OT win over the Knicks in a game that went over the posted total, this can go either way, small lean on the Nets off the bad loss, Orlando could very well win this game Outright, Miami off a loss and Orlando with revenge, lean on Orlando to win Outright, Interesting line here, lean on Houston despite the small line, the public likes Washington and the points here but Washington is a fickle team by nature, Josh Smith in the lineup as well.

Mon Dec-29-2014 at 11:00 AM Pacific Rotation: 237 Over/Under 65.0 - Matchup Stats
West Virginia is much better than their 7-5 record suggests and Texas A&M isn’t as good now as they were earlier in the season when Kenny Hill was their quarterback. Hill started out the season in a fashion that made Aggies’ fans quickly forget about Johnny Maziel but Hill cooled off, was suspended for a couple of games and never got his job back. Coach Kevin Sumlin decided to go with freshman Kyle Allen even when Hill was available to play and Allen is simply not as good. Hill averaged 7.3 yards on 310 pass plays against FBS opponents that would allow 5.8 yppp to an average quarterback. Allen, meanwhile, has averaged 5.6 yards on his 151 pass play while facing teams that would allow 5.4 yppp to an average quarterback. The numbers are about the same in his 4 starts (5.5 yppp against 5.2 yppp) but I’ve decided to use Allen’s final two games only, which are a bit better (5.2 yppp against teams that would allow 4.7 yppp to an average quarterback). The Aggies’ rushing attack has been 0.7 yards per rushing play better than average (a bit worse without Hill’s 264 yards on 35 runs) and overall I rate the Texas A&M at 0.7 yards per play better than average with Allen at quarterback, which is 0.3 yppl worse than their season rating. West Virginia’s defense is equally good defending the run (0.5 yprp better than average) and the pass (0.8 yppp better than average) and overall the Mountaineers have been 0.6 yppl better than average, allowing 5.6 yppl to a schedule of FBS teams that would combine to average 6.2 yppl against an average team. This is a pretty even match up and Texas A&M is projected to gain 420 yards at 5.65 yards per play.

West Virginia’s advantage is when the Mounties have the ball. West Virginia averaged 495 yards per game at 5.9 yards per play while facing teams that would combine to allow 5.2 yppl to an average team. Quarterback Clint Trickett suffered a concussion and missed the final 1 ½ games but backup Skyler Howard was a bit better that Trickett on a compensated yards per pass play basis and hasn’t throw an interception on 66 pass plays while also adding a running dimension that Trickett doesn’t have. Howard ran 7 times for 69 yards in the finale against Iowa State and has averaged 10.6 yards on his 11 runs (excluding his one sack, which goes into passing stats), so he very well might be a better overall option than Trickett, who has announced his retirement from football. What’s telling about Howard’s 11 runs is that his 10.6 yards per run average is not skewed by a big run. In fact, Howard’s longest run is just 24 yards, which shows he has consistently run well and I expect that to continue, as does the coaching staff, who has mentioned what an addition Howard’s running would be to the offense. Word is that coach Dan Holgorsen was leaning towards starting Howard in this game even if Trickett had been cleared to play and Holgorsen’s quarterbacks always play at the same high level, which was the case at Houston and Oklahoma State as an offensive coordinator, where his backups played just as well as his starters. Last season both his quarterbacks had identical compensated numbers and again this season Howard has filled in without the offense taking a dip. West Virginia’s pass offense was 1.4 yards per pass play better than average this season (6.9 yppp against teams that would allow 5.5 yppp to an average team) and Howard has been 1.5 yppp better than average in his 66 pass plays (7.2 yppp against teams that would allow 5.7 yppp to an average quarterback). I actually downgraded Howard’s pass rating because he’s averaging 13.4 yards per completion, which is higher than the team average ypc, but his running makes up for that reduction in passing – and it might be that Howard simply is better at throwing the ball down the field than Trickett was, as Trickett had a tendency to make the safe underneath throw, which is why he averaged a sub-par 11.7 yards per completion. Howard isn’t making risky throws necessarily, as he has not been intercepted on his 65 pass attempts. Overall, the offense appears to be at least as good with Howard at quarterback and the Mountaineers’ attack has a higher compensated yards per play rating in his 1 ½ games at the helm.

Texas A&M’s defense wasn’t as bad as they looked, as the 464 yards per game they allow is a function of their fast pace on offense, which leads to more defensive possessions too, and the quality of opponent they faced. The Aggies were only 0.3 yppl worse than average defensively on a national scale, allowing 6.2 yppl to teams that would combine to average 5.9 yppl against an average defensive unit. I decided to take out their bad defensive game against Missouri (591 yards at 6.8 yppl against a mediocre Tigers’ offense) since that was the game that star LB Myles Garrett missed. Even with that boost to the defensive numbers the math still projects 576 yards at 6.6 yppl for West Virginia in this game.

Not only does West Virginia have a 1.0 yppl advantage in this game but the Mountaineers are #2 in the nation in plays per game and are projected to run about 13 more plays than Texas A&M, which results in a predicted advantage of 155 total yards. West Virginia is significantly better than Texas A&M from the line of scrimmage and are an underrated team because they haven’t been able to efficiently turn their 82 yards per game advantage into more than a 2.8 points advantage. The Mounties’ point margin should be much better based on their combination of yards and yards per play, which project a scoring margin of +7.3 points per game when you add in special teams. The disparity is almost 100% due to fumble variance. As you probably know by now fumbles are 90% random in college football, which is to say that only 10% of the past fumble differential translates into future fumble differential. West Virginia leads the nation is negative fumble differential at -16, as the Mounties have lost 18 of their 27 fumbles while recovering only 2 of their opponent’s 12 fumbles. That’s bad luck in the number of fumbles for and against and particularly bad luck that they’ve lost 67% of their fumbles but have recovered only 17% of their opponent’s fumbles. A -16 in fumbles translated into over 5 points per game of negative variance, which is the main reason why West Virginia is underrated heading into this game. West Virginia had proven more than capable of competing with really good teams (although I do not consider A&M to be a really good team), as the Mountaineers beat Baylor 41-27 despite a -3 in turnovers, lost by just 1 point to TCU despite also being -3 in turnovers, and only lost by 6 to Kansas with a -2 turnover difference. West Virginia could very easily be 10-2 and going to a major bowl game if not for the fumbles and they should beat up on Texas A&M as long as their negative fumble luck doesn’t carry over, which is most likely won’t. My math model favors West Virginia by 12 points based on the projected stats and to have a +0.26 edge in turnovers based on being less likely to throw interceptions (they’re +1 in interceptions while Texas A&M is -9 interceptions, which is far more predictive than fumbles but still regresses towards the mean). I was going to make West Virginia a Best Bet at -3 ½ with the assumption that Howard would start and now we have extra line value because Trickett has retired. I suspected the line might go down to -3 if Trickett didn’t play but the line has dropped to a pick, as apparently people have no concept about Holgorsen’s history of plugging any quarterback into his system without a drop in production. The underrated Mountaineers have a very profitable 60.7% chance of covering and I’ll take West Virginia in a 3-Star Best Bet at -3 points or less and for 1-Star up to -4 points.

The fumbles that kept West Virginia from scoring as many points as they should have scored with a normal amount of fumbles also has served to keep the total on this game lower than it should be. My model predicts 71 total points and the total dropped 2 points from 67 to 65 on the news of Trickett’s retirement, which is 2 points of free line value with two key numbers (66 and 65) involved. I’ll consider the Over a Strong Opinion at 65 points or lower and a lean at higher than 65 points.

**Oklahoma (-4) 27 Clemson 14

Mon Dec-29-2014 at 02:30 PM Pacific Rotation: 240 Over/Under 52.5 - Matchup Stats
**UNDER (52 ½)
I have two plays on this game for the same reason. Clemson is significantly worse offensively with Cole Stoudt at quarterback. Oklahoma is certainly better with Travis Knight back at quarterback, even if star WR Sterling Shepard is not 100%, which aides our side bet on Oklahoma but doesn’t take enough away from the value on the Under. Clemson had two quarterbacks this season, one being Stoudt and the other being freshman superstar DeShawn Watson, who will be among the best quarterbacks in the nation next year. Watson was in and out of the lineup due to a knee injury this season but he was incredibly good when he played, averaging 9.2 yards on 137 pass plays against FBS opponents that would combine to allow 6.5 yppp to an average quarterback. Cole Stoudt, meanwhile, averaged only 4.8 yppp on this 247 pass plays against FBS opponents that would allow 5.9 yppp to an average QB, and he also threw 10 interceptions (Watson threw just 2). Clemson is a good offensive team with Watson playing and they’re horrible with Stoudt in the lineup because he’s terrible and the Tigers’ running game sucks (4.3 yards per rushing play against teams that would allow 5.1 yprp to an average team). The rushing attack is actually worse with Stoudt playing because opponents aren’t worried about being beat with a deep pass (Stoudt averages only 9.5 yards per completion) and they can bring a safety closer to the line of scrimmage to help defend the run. Clemson’s offense averaged only 5.2 yards per play this season (against teams that would allow 5.6 yppl to an average team) and the Tigers are 1.0 yppl worse than average with Stoudt at quarterback. Oklahoma’s defense is 0.7 yppl better than average (5.3 yppl allowed to teams that would combine to average 6.0 yppl against an average team) and they are equally good defending the run and the pass. The math model projects just 310 yards at 4.0 yards per play for Clemson in this game. The Tigers only averaged 20.7 points in the 7 games against FBS teams when Stoudt was the main quarterback and those opponents were not nearly as good defensively as Oklahoma. Clemson isn’t likely to reach 20 points and the math projects just 14 points for the Tigers.

The reason I didn’t release this game earlier is because I was waiting on an update on the status of Oklahoma’s star WR Sterling Shepard. Shepard is a difference maker, as passes targeted for Shepard have averaged 12.3 yards while passes thrown to the other 3 main wide receivers have averaged just 6.7 yards. That’s a major difference and the Oklahoma pass offense struggled for two games without Shepard even before starting quarterback Travis Knight was injured and it was even worse for the final 3 games without Knight. Shepard basically missed the final 5 games of the season (he caught one pass for 46 yards early against Iowa State in week 10 before being injured) and Knight averaged only 6.0 yards per pass play on 62 pass play without Shepard. That’s a major drop from the 8.2 yppp on 223 pass plays that Knight averaged when Shepard was healthy. Shepard did practice this week and expects to play but even he’s not sure how his groin will hold up when playing at game speed. Clemson has a great pass defense (4.5 yppp allowed to quarterbacks that would average 6.5 yppp against an average defense) and the math would project only 6.1 yppp for Oklahoma if Shepard were 100% and playing at his old level. If Shepard didn’t play then the projection would be just 4.8 yppp for Knight in this game. The battle between Oklahoma’s great rushing attack (6.4 yards per rushing play against teams that would allow 5.0 yprp) and Clemson’s great run defense (4.2 yprp allowed to teams that would average 5.4 yprp) is pretty even and the math model is projecting 4.9 yprp for the Sooners in this game. I decided to use Knight’s overall pass rating for this game, which is based on 223 pass play with Shepard and 65 pass plays without Shepard. That takes into account the chance that Shepard may not be 100%. With that assumption the math would project 340 yards at 4.9 yards per play for Oklahoma and 29 points.

Oklahoma’s edge in total yards is amplified by the much better field position that they should enjoy with their great special teams and Clemson’s sub-par special teams. The Sooners have huge edges in net punting and net kickoff yard line average and the better field position should make a difference in this game. Oklahoma also has an advantage in projected turnovers and overall the math favors the Sooners by 15 points and 42.7 total points based on the projected stats. If Shepard doesn’t play then the math would favor the Sooners by 11.3 points with a total of just 39.7 points and if Shepard is 100% and he and Knight play at their pre-injury level then I would get Oklahoma by 15.9 points with 43.7 total points. The math significantly likes Oklahoma and the Under in all 3 scenarios. I’ll take Oklahoma in a 2-Star Best Bet at -6 points or less (3-Stars at -3) and I’ll take the Under in a 2-Star Best Bet at 51 points or higher.

Arkansas (-6) 23 Texas 16

Mon Dec-29-2014 at 06:00 PM Pacific Rotation: 242 Over/Under 45.0 - Matchup Stats
The Texas Bowl executives have got to be thrilled to have secured two high profile programs whose fans are likely to make the short trip to Houston in good numbers. While the stands should be pretty full the action on the field doesn’t figure to be all that exciting given the conservative nature of both offenses and the good defense being played by both sides. These teams are actually pretty even from a yards per play perspective but Texas doesn’t move the chains nearly as well as Arkansas does and the Razorbacks are expected to have a significant possession and play advantage.

The Arkansas offense is a run-oriented attack that features two backs that have topped 1000 yards in Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins. Despite the lofty yardage totals the Razorbacks are actually pretty mediocre running the ball, as they’ve averaged a modest 5.0 yards per rushing play in 11 games against FBS opponents that would combine to allow 4.9 yprp to an average team. Quarterback Brandon Allen, meanwhile, has averaged only 6.0 yards per pass play (6.2 yppp is the national average) but he’s faced a schedule of teams that would combine to allow just 5.3 yppp to an average quarterback, so Allen has actually been significantly better than average and has thrown just 5 interceptions all season. Allen will be tested again by a Texas defense that has the 2nd best pass defense in the nation. The Longhorns have allowed just 4.6 yppp to a collection of quarterbacks that would combine to 6.6 yppp against an average team. Texas held some of the best quarterbacks in the nation in check as UCLA, Baylor, Oklahoma, Kansas State, and TCU combined to average only 5.6 yppp against the Horns. Allen is projected to average 5.1 yppp while the Arkansas rushing attack is expected to gain 4.7 yards per rushing play against a good but not great Texas run defense (0.5 yprp better than average). Overall the Razorbacks are projected to gain 347 yards at 4.9 yards per play.

Arkansas was one of the most improved defensive teams in the nation, as the Hogs struggled on that side of the ball last season but have been 0.8 yards per play better than average defensively this year (5.6 yppl allowed to teams that would combine to average 6.4 yppp against an average defense). I actually rate the Hogs at 1.0 yppp better than average since their pass defense with CB Tevin Mitchel was 0.2 yppp better if you exclude the opener against Auburn that he missed. Auburn took advantage of Mitchel’s absence in that game and beat the Razorbacks deep several times. The Arkansas run defense, meanwhile, was a bit better if I exclude the two games that #2 tackler Brooks Ellis missed in the middle of the season. The Arkansas defense faced the toughest schedule of opposing FBS offenses in the nation and that unit should not have any trouble limiting a sub-par Texas attack that 0.2 yppl worse than average in 11 games with Tyrone Swoopes at quarterback. Swoopes replaced David Ash after 1 game and was decent (5.7 yppp against teams that would allow 5.8 yppp to an average QB) while the rushing attack was also a bit below average (4.6 yprp against teams that would allow 4.8 yprp to an average team). That attack is a full 1 yard worse than that average rating of the FBS teams that Arkansas faced this season and the Hogs are projected to limit the Longhorns to just 276 yards at 4.7 yppl in this game.

Arkansas has an overall edge from the line of scrimmage due to being projected to run 13 more plays than Texas and the Razorbacks also have better special teams and an edge in projected turnovers of 0.3. Overall the math favors Arkansas by 7 ½ points, which is actually not enough of an advantage to recommend a side since the chance of covering is just 51.4% based on the historical performance of my model. However, the model also projects just 39.4 total points, which would historically be a 53.7% play on the Under (44.5 points). That is a profitable percentage, so I’ll lean Under and I have no opinion on the side.

Analysis:
Milwaukee Bucks at Charlotte Hornets (-3) 7:35 ET NBA TV

1* Milwaukee (+3)

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to face the Charlotte Hornets tonight at the Big Cable Box for a 7:05 tip on NBA TV. A look at the Eastern Conference in the NBA standings tells us that after a 41-41 SU NBA season of last, Charlotte is now just 10-21 SU for the season, including 7-18 SU of late. Milwaukee, meanwhile, is at 15-16 SU for the season good for 6th place in the Eastern Conference playoff standings.

The Hornets were cruising along with 4 consecutive victories, following a 2-14 SU slide. A closer look at the opposition shows us those were against sub-.500 teams, Philly, Utah and Denver. The last of those came against these Milwaukee Bucks 108-101 in Milwaukee on December 23rd. Since the Christmas holiday, however, they have lost at OKC (no Durant 98-75) and to Orlando on this floor (102-94). It now appears Charlotte has returned to their losing ways. Kemba Walker has been providing the thrust for the Hornets’ offense. He is regularly playing 40 minutes per game with an infectious, optimistic attitude. Negatives for the Charlotte lineup are that top big man, Al Jefferson, continues to battle through an injured groin that has allowed him to score only 10 PPG in his previous 3 outings. In addition, Lance Stephenson, who was expected to be a major contributor, after his trade from Indiana, has missed the last 7 games with a hip injury.

Milwaukee is struggling with injuries of their own. Prized rookie, Jabari Parker, is out for the season. While big men, Saunders and Ilyasova, are expected to miss this game with illness and concussion, respectively. From an objective standpoint, these injuries have far greater impacted the line than the ones suffered by Charlotte. There can be no doubt Milwaukee can be fully focused for this contest. They have already faced the Hornets twice this season, losing to them both times in OT. That means Charlotte has beaten Milwaukee 7 consecutive times. Under 1st year HC Jason Kidd, Milwaukee has been one of the most improved teams in the NBA. Last year, the Bucks were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings at 15-67 SU. They have already matched that win total this season. That improvement has shown up in the pointspread column. For the YTD, Milwaukee is 21-10 ATS, including 13-5 ATS on the road. On Saturday night, Milwaukee dropped a 90-85 decision at home to Atlanta. That sets up a situation that finds Milwaukee to be 11-3 ATS following a loss.

The value in this line, combined with the Milwaukee revenge motive and their record off a loss, make this the standout play of the night in the NBA.

Washington Wizards vs. Houston Rockets (NBA) – Dec 29, 2014 8:05 PM EST
Play: Point Spread: -4.0/100 Houston Rockets Pick Title:
Houston is coming off a loss yesterday at San Antonio but I expect the Rockets to bounce back tonight as they head home to take on the Wizards. The Rockets blew a double-digit lead on Sunday and lost despite outshooting San Antonio 49.4 percent to 47 percent as the difference was their putrid 58.1 percent mark from the free throw line and 24 turnovers. Houston is now a half-game behind Memphis in the Southwest Division and going back, it is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games following a non-cover and 30-11 ATS in its last 41 games after committing 23 or more turnovers in its previous game. Washington is off to a great start thanks to a very easy schedule. The Wizards have played the easiest slate in the NBA and have played 18 home games compared to just 11 road games. They are a solid 6-2 against the Western Conference but this is the first road game of the season against a team from the west. Washington is just 1-4 against top ten power ranked teams and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record. Additionally, the Wizards are 1-5 ATS in their last six games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Play (710) Houston Rockets

Play: Total: 196.0/-110 Under Pick Title: Jim Feist’s NBA
12/30 07:05 PM EST NBA (501) DETROIT PISTONS VS (502) ORLANDO MAGIC Take: UNDER THE TOTAL. Reason: Your free play for Tuesday, December 30, 2014 is in the NBA scheduled contest between the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic. Detroit has pulled some big wins this year, none bigger than their 23-point win at Cleveland on Sunday. That was the club’s second straight win. What’s surprising about this club is that three of their last four wins have come on the road (Phoenix, Sacramento and Cleveland). This is still not a good team at 7-23, but they seem to play better on the road than at home. Orlando is 11-22 and playing the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here on Tuesday. The Magic are just 3-7 S/U their last 10 and 2-5 ATS their last seven. I’m looking at the UNDER here tonight. Orlando is 5-11 O/U in their last 16 games and 3-7 O/U in their last 10 home games. The Pistons have been higher scoring of late. But consider that they scored over 99 points in just one of their first 18 games this season. This Orlando team is the type of club that will slow down the pace. I don’t expec these two teams to break 190 here on Tuesday. Your play is on the UNDER.
