Ohio Bobcats at Miami of Ohio Redhawks Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NCAAF Predictions 5th November 2018 By Charles Jay for Scores And Stats
by Charles Jay Scores & Stats on 11/05/2018

A national television audience will bear witness to another installment of one of the great football rivalries in the Mid-American Conference on Wednesday night, as the Ohio Bobcats and Miami of Ohio Redhawks will engage in the
"Battle of the Bricks" at Yager Stadium.

Ohio's hallmark has been strong execution under Frank Solich, the former coach at Nebraska who recently topped 100 wins with the Bobcats. And they have a quarterback who may be the top dual threat in the MAC.

Miami of Ohio, the home team here, keeps on coming, and they know how to take care of the football with capable QB Gus Ragland. But they have experienced some difficulty in moving up in level of opposition and given a golden opportunity to put themselves in a position to contend for a spot in the MAC title game, they couldn't slow down the Buffalo offense.

TV: ESPNU, 7 PM ET. LINE: Ohio -3.5

ABOUT OHIO: They didn't leave a lot of room for doubt last time out. The Bobcats (6-3 SU & ATS) led Western Michigan 45-0 at the half and cruised home for a 59-14 victory. Nathan Rourke was almost perfect, completing twelve of 14. He tossed three touchdown passes and ran for two more. The defense held WMU, being led by freshman quarterback Kaleb Eleby, to 4.6 yards per play. They've now covered four games in a row and scored 160 points over their last three. With a 4-1 record in the MAC East, Ohio has a chance to get to the conference championship game. They obviously have to win out, and that includes a meeting next week with division leader Buffalo. The Bobcats have always been able to run the ball pretty well under Frank Solich, and this year is no exception. They have averaged 236 yards a game on the ground, ranking them 15th nationally. And they are averaging 5.6 yards per carry. Rourke runs the Ohio offensive attack with an awful lot of gusto, with a 63% accuracy rate and a robust 9.5 yards an attempt. Although AJ Oullette (609 yards) and Maleek Irons (596 yards) have been great, Rourke is also the team's leading rusher, with 637 yards on a 7.3-yard average.

ABOUT MIAMI OF OHIO: There wasn't a huge problem with Miami moving the ball last time out, as they rang up 453 yards against Buffalo, including 313 through the air from Gus Ragland. But they just couldn't put the clamps on Buffalo's connection of Tyree Jackson and Anthony Johnson, who looked like they were operating downhill. They hooked up for 238 of Jackson's 358 passing yards in the 51-42 RedHawks loss, which dropped them to 3-6 straight-up and 5-4 against the pointspread. There was something of an implosion in pass protection, as Ragland was sacked six times after having sustained only seven sacks over the first eight games. They had come into the meeting with Buffalo having covered five consecutive games, scoring 30 points or more in all of them. How significant is that? Well, the last time they hit the 30-mark six games in a row was back in 2003, when a young man named Ben Roethlisberger was their quarterback. But now the big challenge for this team, which brought back sixteen starters from last year, including the entire offensive line, is to get bowl-eligible, and the only way they can do that is to win all three remaining games. After this one, they have Northern Illinois and Ball State on the schedule.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Ohio has forced 23 turnovers, the second most in the nation, and this has produced a turnover margin of +9, which is ninth best.

2. Ohio has won the last five installments of the "Battle of the Bricks," but Miami of Ohio leads the overall series by a 52-40-2 margin. The RedHawks' last win in the series, in 2012, was a big one, as they beat Ohio when the Bobcats were ranked #23 in the nation.

3. This season, Miami of Ohio has scored on 33 of 34 trips inside the red zone, with 27 TD's. They are third in the country in the category of Red Zone Offense.

PREDICTION: Ohio 35, Miami of Ohio 29

Toledo Toledo Rockets vs. Northern Illinois Huskies Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NCAAF Predictions 6th November 2018 By Charles Jay for Scores And Stats
by Charles Jay Scores & Stats on 11/06/2018

As we get down to the nitty-gritty in the Mid-American Conference, it appears very much as if, barring a collapse, the Northern Illinois Huskies are going to earn themselves a berth in the league's title game. They have certainly demonstrated an ability to "punch above their weight," so to speak, although that isn't necessarily what Wednesday's assignment calls for.

The Toledo Rockets still have to win another game to become bowl-eligible, but they looked pretty good last time out. In recent years they have shown the ability to score on just about anybody, but they'll be facing one of their toughest tests of the season against a rock-ribbed defense. Although they are not completely out of the race for the MAC title, they need to win and get some help.

These teams will battle before a national TV audience at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb, IL.

TV: ESPN2, 8 PM ET. LINE: Northern Illinois -3

ABOUT TOLEDO: Coming off a resounding 51-24 win over Western Michigan the week before, UT found not many tricks, but mostly treats on Halloween night, getting off to a 21-0 first-quarter lead and gliding to a 45-13 victory over Ball State. Mitch Guadagni, who had sustained a shoulder injury against Western Michigan, did not play, but Eli Peters, his backup, threw for 327 yards. Cody Thompson had 75 yards and a touchdown catch; Diontae Johnson has five receptions for 100 yards. A two-fisted ground attack got 162 combined yards out of Art Thompkins and Bryant Koback. Their defense forced five turnovers but allowed Drew Plitt, Ball State's backup quarterback, to throw for 340 yards. Toledo (5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS) is the highest-scoring team in the MAC and is eleventh in the country at 41.2 points per game. They are 40th in Total Offense, but curiously, they are outside of the nation's top 100 (109th, to be exact) in converting on third downs. Guadagni, who is 12th in the nation in passing efficiency, has been ruled out of this game, and head coach Jason Candle did not have any answers regarding his status for the rest of the schedule. The Rockets have allowed 279 passing yards per game, but they are fortunate that they are not facing a high-powered air attack here.

ABOUT NORTHERN ILLINOIS: It wasn't all that easy for NIU (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) last time out against Akron, as they were about to be tied by Akron in the third quarter. But they brought back a blocked extra point for a two-pointer and scored a fourth-quarter touchdown to create the 36-26 margin. They are now 5-0 in the MAC and very much in the driver's seat for a spot in the conference title game. They got plenty of production on the ground, with 296 yards (169 from Tre Harbison), and Marcus Childers showed great accuracy, completing 21 of his 28 passes. Walk-on Jalen McKie returned an interception for a touchdown as well. They held Akron to just 35 rushing yards, and this is becoming something of a habit for the Huskies, who are 13th in the nation in rushing defense, holding opponents to just 104 yards a game and 2.6 yards per attempt. By contrast, Toledo has surrendered 4.5 yards a carry and 22 TD's on the ground. Still, the Huskies generally don't get a lot of breathing room; they are fifth from the bottom in Total Offense and had not scored more than 26 points in any single game prior to playing Akron - a game which produced an over/under the figure of 37. One of the things to note on the Huskies' schedule is that not only are there not any FCS teams, but there are very good programs on the non-conference slate. Yes, there were losses to Iowa and Utah (which both achieved national rankings) and Florida State, but also a 7-6 victory at BYU.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Toledo kicker Jameson Vest set school records for most field goals and most extra points in the victory over Ball State.

2. Northern Illinois' All-American defensive end Sutton Smith ranks among the top 15 in the nation in sacks, tackles for loss and forced fumbles.

3. Toledo has the decisive 31-14 lead in the overall series. The Rockets, however, have not won in DeKalb since the 2006 season.

PREDICTION: Northern Illinois 24, Toledo 17

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
Thunder vs. Cavaliers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

Just when the Oklahoma City Thunder were beginning to find their form, Russell Westbrook went down with an ankle injury. The Thunder will be without their star when they try to push their winning streak to six straight with a visit to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Westbrook, who has a history of knee injuries, went down in the third quarter of Monday's 122-116 win over the New Orleans Pelicans but X-rays revealed only an ankle sprain, which is expected to keep him out on a game-to-game basis. "Russ has a pretty high pain tolerance, so I knew it was something that was serious," Oklahoma City forward Paul George told reporters. "I was just hoping it wasn't his knee. I thought I saw him holding his knee. I think we can all say it's unfortunate, we can all say as bad as it was, we're happy it wasn't the knee and that it was just an ankle sprain." The Cavaliers could be without small forward Sam Dekker for up to a month due to an ankle sprain suffered in Monday's 102-100 loss to the Orlando Magic, which dropped them to an NBA-worst 1-9. Post-LeBron James Cleveland suffered its closest loss at Orlando and is intent on using the setback as a learning experience for its rebuilding club.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Oklahoma, FS Ohio (Cleveland)

ABOUT THE THUNDER (5-4): Reserve point guard Dennis Schroder stepped up in Westbrook's absence on Monday and finished with 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting, and he will likely get the start on Wednesday. Schroder started the first two games of the season while Westbrook recovered from arthroscopic surgery and averaged 14.5 points but shot 26.5 percent from the floor in that role. George, who led the Thunder with 23 points on Monday, is battling a shooting slump and went 6-of-17 from the floor on Monday - two games removed from a 4-of-20 performance that included 0-of-10 from 3-point range.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (1-9): Cleveland had the win in sight on Monday before a pair of late turnovers with a three-point lead and the shot clock turned off allowed the Magic to pull ahead. Cedi Osman, who is starting in James' old spot at small forward, made the first of the miscues. "Many plays and many stretches where we could have put ourselves in better position," center Tristan Thompson told reporters. "The last minute is a great learning experience for us. It's great to have Cedi out there, Rodney (Hood) out there and Jordan Clarkson out there to be in those situations. We trust them. I think it's a great learning experience for them and if ever in that situation again we will learn from that and continue to grow. I think no one should hold their head down."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Thunder C Steven Adams is 15-of-19 from the floor in the last two games.

2. Thompson recorded season highs of 19 points and 16 rebounds in his third double-double on Monday.

3. The visiting team took each of the two meetings last season, with Oklahoma City earning a 148-124 win in Cleveland behind 23 points and 20 assists from Westbrook.

PREDICTION: Thunder 113, Cavaliers 104

Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The Detroit Pistons just can't seem to snap out of a slide that has seen them drop five straight after four wins to begin the campaign. The Pistons will hope for better luck when they hit the road to visit the Orlando Magic in the opener of a two-game trip on Wednesday.

Detroit took two of its last three opponents to overtime but could not find a way to make the winning shot, and first-year coach Dwane Casey sees it as part of the learning process. "It is on us to continue to improve, to put ourselves in the playoff hunt, which we are going to be, and get better," Casey told reporters. "I see improvement, I know it's not showing in the record, but I do see improvement. I see the little things that we are getting better at, but there are some other things we got to continue to harp on, especially the turnovers and the shot making when the ball does come out." The Magic come into Wednesday's meeting with all the momentum after posting back-to-back wins, including a 102-100 triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday that ended when Evan Fournier's jumper splashed through at the buzzer. "It's huge to build momentum so that we can really believe in ourselves and believe we can beat anyone, because we can," Fournier said. "But the more we do it, the more we gain confidence. Now, we have two tough games coming up against two tough teams, so it's going to be another good test for us."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, FS Florida (Orlando)

ABOUT THE PISTONS (4-5): Detroit moved Glenn Robinson III into the starting lineup to provide more floor spacing with an extra shooter, and he finished with 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Robinson had the ball in his hands with a chance to give the Pistons the lead late in overtime and star forward Blake Griffin fouled out but came up just short on a 3-point attempt. "I'll take Glenn Robinson's look right there at the end to put us up, any time of the day," Casey told reporters. "You can call 15 timeouts in that situation, I just looked at it, he was wide open, he was 2-for-3 at the time. So, would have, could have, should have, we got our situation now where we have to continue to fight, continue to stay together because that's what this league is going to be about the rest of this year."

ABOUT THE MAGIC (4-6): Orlando earned a 117-110 win in San Antonio on Sunday night and wanted to prove something to itself by taking both ends of the back-to-back. "We were conscious that when you've won a game like that in San Antonio and losing a game like this (on Monday), it wouldn't have really meant anything," Magic swingman Terrence Ross told the team's website. "(Losing on Monday) would have taken away all of that confidence that we had just gotten. We were just focused on trying to play the right way and we were able to get a win." Playing the right way included another solid effort from power forward Aaron Gordon, who averaged 24.5 points while going 20-of-35 from the floor in the two victories.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Pistons C Andre Drummond collected 25 points and 24 rebounds on Monday - his fourth 20-20 game of the season.

2. Magic PF Jonathan Isaac (ankle) missed the last two games and is day-to-day.

3. Orlando took five of the last six in the series.

PREDICTION: Magic 109, Pistons 105

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
Spurs vs. Heat Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The San Antonio Spurs had a few days to dwell on a home loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday and hope to turn their fortunes when they begin a stretch with nine of 12 on the road by visiting the Miami Heat on Wednesday. The Heat snapped a three-game slide with an overtime victory at Detroit Pistons on Monday.

San Antonio held opponents to an average of 99.8 points during a four-game winning streak but struggled to bring the same execution on that end in the 117-110 loss to Orlando. "We were a step slow on everything," Spurs All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge told reporters. "You have nights like that. They were just moving faster than us and we were one step behind. We let that snowball into not communicating. It was just a perfect storm to be terrible on defense." Miami snapped its three-game slide by turning it up at the defensive end, holding the Pistons to 41.3 percent from the floor while forcing 20 turnovers. "That's what we hang our hats on," Miami forward Justise Winslow told reporters. "We got a lot of tough guys, defensive minded guys. We just got to get back to who we are. We're going to score enough points. But I think the big thing (Monday) was we got stops when we needed to, and it paid off."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (San Antonio), FS Sun (Miami)

ABOUT THE SPURS (6-3): San Antonio figured to take some time to gel after adding All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan, but the former Toronto Raptor has been remarkably consistent. DeRozan is averaging 27.3 points on 51.6 percent shooting and scored at least 25 points in each of the last five contests. DeRozan is getting some help spacing the floor from point guard Patty Mills, who went 4-of-14 from beyond the arc in the first four games but is 13-of-23 in the last five contests.

ABOUT THE HEAT (4-5): Miami shooting guard Josh Richardson is taking on a larger role in the offense and scored 27 points on 11-of-21 shooting in Monday's win - the third time in the last four games that he scored at least 27. "It's something we all celebrated here and wanted him to do it," veteran guard Dwyane Wade told reporters of Richardson. "It's still impressive. The shots he was taking in overtime and making, those are big-time shots. Not a lot of players can do it that way. We want him to continue to have the confidence to take it to the next level, and we're going to need it." Richardson is 9-of-15 from 3-point range in the last two games and is often tasked with guarding the opposing team's best wing player.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Spurs SF Rudy Gay (heel) sat out the last game and is day-to-day.

2. Heat C Hassan Whiteside (knee) sat out Monday and is questionable for Wednesday.

3. San Antonio took each of the last 11 meetings, going back to the final three games of the 2014 NBA Finals.

PREDICTION: Spurs 115, Heat 106

Chicago Bulls vs. New Orleans Pelicans Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The New Orleans Pelicans are giving up far too much on the defensive end and can't find their way out of the loss column. The Pelicans will try to snap a six-game slide when they return home to host the pesky Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.

New Orleans just got back from a five-game road trip against Western Conference playoff contenders, during which it surrendered an average of 122 points to push its NBA-worst scoring defense to 120.7. "Guys, we've got 72 games left," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters. "We're disappointed in a road trip like this - in the West, you don't want to have any kind of losing streak - but we're going to stay at an even keel. We're going to compete at a high level, get better and correct the mistakes." The Bulls dropped three games by a total of 11 points before finally breaking through with a 116-115 double-overtime win at New York on Monday. "Our guys needed to get a close one," Chicago coach Fred Hoiberg told reporters. "We needed our guys to get a little confidence. We had a lot of miscues, but we needed a big stop and we got it (at the end of regulation and the first overtime). The guys hung tough and they stuck together. We found a way to get the win."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBCS Chicago, FS New Orleans

ABOUT THE BULLS (3-8): Guard Zach LaVine scored a career-high 41 points on Monday, including the deciding free throw in the second overtime, and is averaging 27.9 points. "At the end of the day, I am going to do what I do to help us get a win," LaVine told reporters. "I've worked hard to get to the next level." Chicago has several players trying to get to the next level on a young team and rookie power forward Wendell Carter Jr. recorded his second straight double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds in Monday's triumph.

ABOUT THE PELICANS (4-6): New Orleans believes some of its problems on the defensive end are self-inflicted, and the team committed 21 turnovers in the 122-116 loss at Oklahoma City on Monday. "At the end of the day we had 21 turnovers for 28 points," Gentry told reporters. "They were plus-16 points in turnovers and plus-10 in the paint. To me, that was the difference in the game. We talk about it all the time, we're playing from behind way too much. ... So, what we're doing is putting ourselves in the position where we have to have the perfect storm to win." The Pelicans could also use more from superstar Anthony Davis, who is 18-of-49 from the floor in his last three games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Pelicans PG Elfrid Payton (ankle) sat out the last five games and remains questionable.

2. Chicago PG Cameron Payne is 3-of-17 from 3-point range over the last six games.

3. New Orleans took both matchups last season in overtime.

PREDICTION: Pelicans 123, Bulls 114

Denver Nuggets vs. Memphis Grizzlies Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The Denver Nuggets are playing with a chip on their shoulders after just missing the playoffs the last two seasons, and the results have been very favorable. They will try to continue to match the best start in franchise history when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Behind a career-high 48 points from Jamal Murray, Denver picked up a 115-107 win at home over the Boston Celtics on Monday, improving to 9-1 for the first time since 1976. "I think that's the biggest thing," Murray told reporters Monday while discussing the team narrowly missing the playoffs. "We talked about it in training camp, but I think everyone has that feeling that if we lose one game now, it's going to come back and haunt us at the end of the year." The Grizzlies are 3-0 at home but are coming off a three-game road trip capped by losses at Phoenix and Golden State. They were tied with the mighty Warriors at halftime Monday night before getting outscored by 19 points in the third quarter en route to a 117-101 loss.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, Altitude (Denver), FS Southeast (Memphis)

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (9-1): Murray drew some criticism from the Celtics for a late attempt at 50 points but his teammates are all on board with the third-year guard's willingness to take charge. "Jamal is a gamer," fellow guard Gary Harris told reporters. "He plays his best in big games, and he came ready to play. He's the reason why we won tonight." Center Nikola Jokic was held to single digits Monday for the third straight time but he has 27 assists and 26 rebounds in that span.

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (5-4): The starters combined for just 49 points in Monday's loss as the team completed its first back-to-back, and stars Michael Conley and Marc Gasol totaled only 17 points. Dillon Brooks provided a spark off the bench with 18 points and he is averaging 17.5 in 26.5 minutes over his last two games. Brooks scored 24 points in a win over the Nuggets in the last meeting of the 2017-18 season.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Murray was 5-for-11 from 3-point range against the Celtics after opening the season 11-for-40.

2. Gasol averages 17 points on 57.6 percent shooting at home, compared to 12.2 on 33.3 percent on the road.

3. Jokic averaged 17 points and 10.5 rebounds to help Denver win three of four matchups with Memphis last season.

PREDICTION: Nuggets 110, Grizzlies 104

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Indiana Pacers Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
76ers vs. Pacers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

Not only have the Philadelphia 76ers been unable to win on the road, but they've barely been competitive in those games. The Sixers will try for a sixth time to gain their first road victory when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

Four of their five losses away from home have come by at least 15 points and Sunday's dreadful 122-97 setback at Brooklyn, which featured an NBA-high 28 turnovers by Philadelphia, was a rather alarming result for a team hoping to be among the elites in the Eastern Conference. "To win on the road, you better not turn it over at the rate we've been turning it over," coach Brett Brown told reporters. "You better have an incredible focus on rebounding. Historically, those are the tenets of road wins -- caring for the ball and finishing plays with rebounds. ... I think that togetherness, that toughness, that ability to take punches and come out together on the other side, that is part of growth. We don't have that right now." The Pacers won three straight by a total of nine points before suffering a 98-94 loss to Houston on Monday in the second of three straight at home. Victor Oladipo scored 28 points in the defeat to record his NBA-leading 10th straight game with at least 20 points

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN, NBCS Philadelphia, FS Indiana

ABOUT THE 76ERS (6-5): Ben Simmons scored 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in the loss to the Nets but he had five turnovers and has given the ball up 16 times over his last two road games. Joel Embiid added 16 points and 15 rebounds while missing his only 3-point attempt, part of a 4-for-20 showing from beyond the arc for Philadelphia. "The coaches don't control us making shots and they don't control us turning the ball over," Embiid told the media. "That's none of their fault. At times we can all do a better job as far as controlling the game. I don't think it's none of their fault; it's on the players. We're the ones that go out there and we have a game plan, and we should just follow it and trust it."

ABOUT THE PACERS (7-4): Indiana is attempting an average of 85 shots a game -- fewest in the East -- and a few more scoring chances might make the difference in close games like Monday's loss, but the team is not prepared to force anything. "We don't want to just get into a run-and-gun game and make it a shootout," coach Nate McMillan told reporters after the loss to the Rockets. "If we have something early (in the possession), we'll take it. If not we want to make them defend it." It helps that the team ranks fifth overall in field-goal percentage (48.9), led by a 68.4 percent showing by forward Domantas Sabonis.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Pacers PG Cory Joseph has one point while missing all nine of his shots from the floor over the last two games.

2. Sixers SG JJ Redick is shooting 31.3 percent from 3-point range on the road, compared to 44.7 percent at home.

3. Indiana has won eight straight meetings at home.

PREDICTION: Pacers 112, 76ers 106

Toronto Raptors vs. Sacramento Kings Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The Toronto Raptors are piling up the victories and strive to add another when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Toronto is tied with the Golden State Warriors for the best record in the NBA and is looking to complete a sweep of a four-game road trip.

The availability of Raptors standout small forward Kawhi Leonard is unknown due to the left ankle injury that led him to miss the past two games. Leonard suffered the injury against the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 2 and sat out victories over the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz. Sacramento was obliterated 144-109 by the Milwaukee Bucks in its last outing to see a five-game winning streak evaporate. "We just went 3-1 on a four-game road trip," Kings forward Justin Jackson said after the loss. "Obviously, it hurts a little bit to lose like that, but I think we're extremely happy of how we played this road trip."


TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN (Toronto), NBCS California (Sacramento)

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (10-1): Power forward Serge Ibaka connected on all eight shots while scoring 17 points in Monday's 124-111 win over the Jazz just one night after scoring a career-best 34 points on 15-of-17 shooting in a 121-107 victory over the Lakers. Ibaka registered three career 30-point outings and two of them have occurred in the past five games. Point guard Kyle Lowry is also playing solid with nine straight outings of 10 or more assists while averaging 17.9 points and an NBA-best 11.5 assists.


ABOUT THE KINGS (6-4): Sacramento looks to move on from the pounding it absorbed with a four-game homestand that concludes against the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 12. The Kings have ramped up the offensive attack this season and rank fourth in scoring (118.7) but the defense has been suspect and stands 26th while allowing 119.3 points per game. Shooting guard Buddy Hield had 19 points against the Bucks to fall a point short of his sixth straight 20-point game and the third-year pro is shooting a stellar 48 percent from 3-point range.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Raptors won each of last season's two meetings by 15 points after the Kings won the previous four.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Lakers Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The Los Angeles Lakers are still trying to find their stride as they enter Wednesday's home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Inconsistency plagued the team during the first 10 games of the LeBron James era and the Lakers will attempt to rebound from Sunday's debacle against the Toronto Raptors.

Los Angeles trailed 41-17 after the first quarter on Sunday en route to succumbing 121-107 to the Raptors in a contest in which Toronto was missing star forward Kawhi Leonard. "They just came out and just hit us right in the mouth," James told reporters. "It's very, very hard to make a game out of that when you're trying to expend so much energy trying to get back into it." Minnesota is experiencing its own issues with three straight losses to begin a five-game road trip and the near-daily drama circulating around disgruntled shooting guard Jimmy Butler. "I just hoop," Butler, who has requested a trade, told reporters. "I play basketball. I go out there, and I try to win home or away. I think that's my job. I'm not worried about nothing -- none of that. (Reporters) continue to ask those questions, but it's not going to change how I go about the game. It's not going to change how I interact with guys in this locker room. We'll be just fine."


TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (4-7): Guard Derrick Rose recorded 21 points in Monday's 120-109 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers after missing most of the previous two games with an ankle injury. Rose has been surprisingly good this season while averaging 17.4 points, with his best outing being the career-high 50 he put up against the Utah Jazz on Oct. 31. Center Karl-Anthony Towns recovered from a slow start to post four double-doubles in the past five games and he is averaging 21.8 points and 12 rebounds during the stretch.


ABOUT THE LAKERS (4-6): Los Angeles has its own bouts of drama percolating as coach Luke Walton is coming under fire during the early stages of James' tenure. Management usually understands patience is required to make so many new moving parts fit but president of basketball operations Magic Johnson's proclamation that Walton's job is safe included this disclaimer: "Unless something drastic happen." The defense has been a huge problem -- the Lakers allowed over 120 points in five of their six losses and stand 27th in scoring defense (120 per game) while the offense ranks third at 118.9.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Butler scored 32 points as the Timberwolves prevailed 124-120 on Oct. 29 for their fifth consecutive win over the Lakers.

2. Minnesota PG Jeff Teague (knee) is expected to miss his fifth straight game.

3. Los Angeles backup G Josh Hart is just 13-of-39 shooting over the past six contests.

PREDICTION: Lakers 117, Timberwolves 112

Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NBA Predictions 7th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/07/2018

Star guard Donovan Mitchell is expected to be back in the lineup when the Utah Jazz host the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The Jazz listed Mitchell as probable for the contest after he missed Monday's loss to Toronto due to a sprained left ankle.

Utah has dropped four straight games and also stands 0-4 at home after falling 124-111 to a Toronto team playing without star forward Kawhi Leonard. "We've shown patches where we can be really good and be the team we know we can be," forward Joe Ingles told reporters, "but we've shown a lot more of the other side of it, to this point." Dallas halted its six-game losing streak by building a 21-point halftime lead en route to notching a 119-100 home win over Washington on Tuesday. The Mavericks are 0-5 on the road this season after posting a miserable 9-32 record last campaign.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Dallas), AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Utah) Linea: Jazz -9.5

ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (3-7): Forward Luka Doncic is living up to his billing as an impact rookie as the third overall draft pick scored 23 points against Washington for his fifth 20-point performance of the campaign. The 19-year-old Doncic, who is averaging 19.8 points, has recorded as least 14 in every game and said he can feel the trust building with his teammates. "It's always hard when you first have new teammates," Doncic said in a postgame television interview. "Everything is hard to build the chemistry. But as the games go, everything gets better."



ABOUT THE JAZZ (4-6): Utah is looking nothing like the team that won 48 games last season, and players are searching for answers as to why the intensity is lacking. "Teams come here with the mindset of attacking us. You can feel it," standout center Rudy Gobert told reporters. "We're not the Utah Jazz of last year in their head, and they come in here trying to be aggressive, so it's on us to get past that and be aggressive." Gobert had his way against the Mavericks on Oct. 28, when he registered 23 points and 16 rebounds as the Jazz recorded a 113-104 victory.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Jazz have won each of the last four meetings and seven of the last eight.

2. Dallas C DeAndre Jordan collected 12 rebounds on Tuesday and has been in double digits in all 10 games.

3. Utah PG Ricky Rubio is 4-of-20 shooting over the last two contests.

PREDICTION: Jazz 107, Mavericks 98

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NHL Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The Pittsburgh Penguins are facing a matchup on the road with the reigning Stanley Cup champions, but that may not be a bad thing given their ongoing struggles overall and at home. Pittsburgh has stumbled badly after completing a perfect four-game road trip through Canada and has dropped four in a row (0-3-1) entering Wednesday night's game at the Washington Capitals.

While team captains and resident superstars Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin going head-to-head is always a headline attraction, the Penguins are more concerned by their recent slump that culminated with back-to-back losses at home by a 10-1 margin. "It's not a good feeling when you're in these types of situations, but we have to rely on one another to get out of it," Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan told reporters. "We believe we have what it takes to be a very good team in the league." Ovechkin helped Washington end a two-game slide of its own, scoring a late goal to provide the icing on a 4-2 win over Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. It will mark the first meeting between the Metropolitan Division rivals since the Penguins edged the defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals 7-6 in overtime on Oct. 4.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, TVA, Sportsnet

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (6-4-3): Pittsburgh has yet to lose in regulation away from home and pumped in 23 goals in its dominating four-game road trip, but it has been limited to six tallies during its current slide - including back-to-back drubbings by Toronto and New Jersey. "We have high expectations of ourselves and on our teammates and everything and no one is playing up to those expectations right now," forward Patric Hornqvist told reporters. "But we need to stop the bleeding next game." Sullivan juggled his lines at Tuesday's practice, moving Evgeni Malkin between Hornqvist and Carl Hagelin.



ABOUT THE CAPITALS (6-4-3): Washington received a boost from its newly configured fourth line to jump-start the win over Edmonton, getting goals from Jakub Vrana and Devante Smith-Pelly within the first six minutes of the game. Vrana was demoted to the fourth line after struggling in the previous game and was joined by Travis Boyd, who collected a pair of assists in his season debut. "We had a couple of good shifts and were able to capitalize right away," Boyd told reporters. "Overall, it was a good first night back for me and a great night for the team to get back in the win column, too."

OVERTIME

1. Washington has yet to win back-to-back games this season.

2. The Penguins are 2-for-19 on the power play in the past five games.

3. Ovechkin is tied for eighth on the all-time list with 234 power-play goals - two behind Mario Lemieux.

PREDICTION: Capitals 3, Penguins 2

Nashville Predators vs. Colorado Avalanche Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NHL Predictions 6th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/06/2018

The Colorado Avalanche will hope to get back on track after a winless three-game road trip, but they will have to do it against a team that has been perfect away from home. The Nashville Predators, who became the fifth team in NHL history to open a season with at least six consecutive road victories, begin a five-game trek with a visit to the Avalanche on Wednesday night.

"We haven't talked about (it) too much," Nashville coach Peter Laviolette told reporters of the unblemished road record. "I know it's hard to win on the road, but I think our group has done a pretty good job of focusing on the opponent and the game and not necessarily the location." The league's first team to reach 11 wins and 22 points, the Predators have won three in a row and allowed a scant two goals as they make their first visit to Colorado since closing out a six-game postseason series against the Avalanche in April. Colorado ranks second in the NHL in scoring with 3.71 goals per game, but it struggled at the defensive end in Western Canada, allowing 13 tallies in losses to Calgary and Vancouver. "It wasn't the best road trip," said backup netminder Philipp Grubauer. "We'll need to keep working. If we're smart as a team we'll learn from this road trip, learn from our mistakes."

TV: 10 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network

ABOUT THE PREDATORS (11-3-0): Top-line forward Viktor Arvidsson has sat out the past two games due to a lower-body injury and is eligible to come off injured reserve Wednesday, but he was wearing a non-contact jersey at Tuesday's practice. Colton Sissons and Kevin Fiala each played on the No. 1 unit alongside Ryan Johansen and Filip Forsberg in the past two games, but Ryan Hartman skated with the team's top two scorers during Wednesday's practice. Pekka Rinne has won both starts since returning from a five-game injury absence, including a 1-0 shutout of Boston on Saturday.



ABOUT THE AVALANCHE (7-4-3): Entering Tuesday's games, Colorado featured the league's Nos. 1 and 3 top scorers in Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon, who form a potent top line with captain Gabriel Landeskog. Rantanen, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Oct. 29 by being named the NHL's Third Star of the Week, collected a goal and seven assists over the last four games. "We have to prove we can do it every night and be consistent," Rantanen said of his line's production. "I knew I could play in the NHL but I never thought I would be playing on a line like this. I can't deny, it's been a lot of fun."

OVERTIME

1. Forsberg had three goals and three assists in four matches against the Avalanche in 2017-18.

2. Landeskog has 10 goals in his last nine games, but his one tally was his only point in four games versus Nashville last season.

3. Rinne needs three wins to tie Miikka Kiprusoff (319) for the most by a Finnish-born goalie.

PREDICTION: Avalanche 4, Predators 3

Calgary Flames vs. Anaheim Ducks Preview and Predictions 11-07-2018

NHL Predictions 7th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/07/2018

Sean Monahan has been unstoppable of late, registering two points in each of the last four contests of his six-game point streak. The 24-year-old center looks to extend the run and reach a milestone Wednesday as the Calgary Flames seek their fifth straight win when they kick off a three-game road trip against the Anaheim Ducks.

Monahan has collected four goals and six assists during his point streak, putting him one away from 300 for his career. The sixth overall pick in the 2013 draft, he has recorded all four tallies and four assists during the Flames' winning streak to earn the NHL's First Star of the Week honors. Anaheim's struggles continued Tuesday as it dropped a 4-1 decision in Los Angeles two days after ending its seven-game slide. Ryan Kesler ended his eight-game goal-scoring drought in the loss by the Ducks, who are in the midst of a stretch during which they play 11 of 13 at home.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, Sportsnet West (Calgary), Prime Ticket (Anaheim)

ABOUT THE FLAMES (9-5-1): Michael Frolik is heating up as he has scored three of his seven goals over his last four games. The 30-year-old Czech, who recorded only 10 tallies in 70 contests last season, has yet to notch an assist in 2018-19 - keeping him at 199 for his career. Captain Mark Giordano was kept off the scoresheet in Saturday's 5-3 victory over Chicago after collecting a goal and seven assists during a four-game point streak.



ABOUT THE DUCKS (6-7-3): Captain Ryan Getzlaf was back in the lineup Tuesday after missing one game with an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old center, who is second on the team with 10 points, was a minus-2 and had his four-game point streak halted but registered four shots, four hits and three blocked shots while going 12-8 on faceoffs. Randy Carlyle's next victory will be his 461st as an NHL coach, breaking a tie with Roger Neilson for 30th place on the all-time list.

OVERTIME

1. The Flames have scored a league-leading 28 goals in the third period this season.

2. Anaheim C Chase De Leo was a healthy scratch Tuesday after being recalled from San Diego of the American Hockey League earlier in the day.

3. Calgary rookie C Dillon Dube, who was injured in Saturday's win over Chicago, has not practiced and remains in concussion protocol.

#7 AMERICAN MANDATE (ML=5/2)
#6 BRUSH COUNTRY (ML=5/1)


AMERICAN MANDATE - Santana is right back for another event today after riding aboard this animal for the initial time on September 23rd and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. I look for this horse to sit chilly and make a big move on the turn, cruising straight on to the winner's circle. The latest speed figure of 80 is the best last race speed rating in the field. BRUSH COUNTRY - Van Meter is giving this one Lasix for the first time. A really smart move. Don't often see a positive ROI like +564. This jockey/trainer duo has done well together over the last twelve months. Adding blinkers often leads to an improved performance on the racetrack.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 CHASE THE GHOST (ML=7/2), #5 MR DUMAS (ML=9/2), #1 GREAT SENSE (ML=5/1),

CHASE THE GHOST - When examining today's Equibase class figure, he will have to notch a much better speed figure than in the last race to be competitive in this dirt sprint. MR DUMAS - Likely won't make much of a mark this time out. GREAT SENSE - Don't think that this colt has value at 5/1 in today's event.

TENDER BOY has a decent shot to take this race. Ignacio has an excellent return on investment over the past month (+88) which ought to help players with this pick. Had one of the most competitive Equibase Speed Figures of this group of horses in his last contest. Win percentage under similar conditions may be the key for this gelding. CHETAN - Barrow has one of the best winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface. With a formidable ROI of +14 this handler has shown formidable results with entries running at this distance and surface. ANTLEY'S COURAGE - He has been racing solidly recently while recording strong Equibase speed figs.

#5 MT HAYNESFIELD (ML=8/1)
#4 COMMISSIONED (ML=3/1)


MT HAYNESFIELD - The jock and handler combination have a profitable ROI when they join forces. It looks like Hernandez had to become familiar with this filly on July 31st when riding her for the first time. Back on board again today. This is a classic 'Lone Front-runner' scenario. If Hernandez gets him out of the gate cleanly it'll likely be smooth sailing. Faced tougher last time out at Thistledown. Based on Equibase class ratings, this is a weaker bunch, so I will put this one on my list of top contenders. COMMISSIONED - This filly should be at the peak of fitness, this far into her form cycle. After a nice race two starts ago, this equine bounced. Now today, I expect another good performance. Took a big class drop last out, and I think she may have needed it. DaCosta enters her at a similar level today. I'd expect an improved performance.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 DRAMA PRINCESS (ML=4/1), #9 BEAUTIFUL NITE SKY (ML=9/2), #6 ROCKPORT DANCER (ML=5/1),

DRAMA PRINCESS - The fifth place finish position in the last affair was not the best. Should take this one off your contenders list with the insufficiency of early speed in that last route race. BEAUTIFUL NITE SKY - Awfully difficult to invest in this horse when she hasn't been showing any gumption recently. ROCKPORT DANCER - This mare is always hitting the board, but just doesn't finish first. Tough to wager on her on the top end.

Bet on #5 MT HAYNESFIELD to win if we can get at least 5/2 odds

Wednesday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Raptors at Kings – 10:05 PM EST

When the schedule was released three months ago, it would have been hard for the public to circle this game as one to keep an eye out for. However, Toronto (10-1 SU, 6-5 ATS) owns the best record in the Eastern Conference and Sacramento (6-4 SU, 7-3 ATS) is one of the biggest surprises in the league through 10 games.

The Raptors finish off a four-game western road swing after beating the Suns, Lakers, and Jazz. The last two victories came without the services of leading scorer Kawhi Leonard, who is sidelined with a left ankle injury. Toronto has won three of four games without Leonard, while scoring 117, 121, and 124 points in road wins at Washington, Phoenix, and Los Angeles respectively. In Monday’s 124-111 triumph over the struggling Jazz, Toronto used balanced scoring (four players putting up either 16 or 17 points), while the team shot 57% from the floor.

Sacramento started the season at 1-3 as it looked like another year staring at the lottery. However, the Kings rebounded by winning five straight games, including back-to-back home underdog victories against Memphis and Washington. The Kings continued their hot ways on the road with solid showings in underdog wins at Miami and Orlando prior to blowing out Atlanta by 31 points. Sacramento’s road trip came to a screeching halt in a 144-109 setback at Milwaukee on Sunday, but own a perfect 5-0 ATS record as an underdog of nine points or fewer this season.

The Kings begin a four-game homestand that continues with the Wolves, Lakers, and Spurs invading Golden 1 Center over the next week. Sacramento swept Toronto in both 2016 and 2017 seasons, but the Raptors picked up a pair of 15-point wins over the Kings last season, while covering each time.

(Next) Beasts of the East?

The Celtics and Raptors are currently the two teams favored to win the Eastern Conference. Amongst the next tier of teams that are likely to qualify for the second round of the playoffs are the 76ers and Pacers. Philadelphia (6-5 SU, 7-4 ATS) travels to Bankers Life Fieldhouse seeking its first road win of the season after starting 0-5 away from the City of Brotherly Love. To make matters worse, the Sixers have yet to cover a road contest, while dropping a 25-point decision at Brooklyn on Sunday as four-point favorites.

The Pacers (7-4 SU, 6-5 ATS) couldn’t quite capitalize off their dramatic victory over Boston in Monday’s home affair against Houston. The Rockets pulled away from the Pacers in the fourth quarter of a 98-94 defeat, the third time this season that Indiana has scored below 94 points in a game. Indiana has yet to drop consecutive games this season by going 3-0 SU/ATS off a defeat, while seeing the UNDER cash in four of five games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Turn the Music Up

The Jazz (4-6 SU, 4-6 ATS) have yet to win a game at Vivint Smart Home Arena this season, posting an 0-4 SU/ATS mark at home. Utah will try to end this dubious mark tonight against Dallas, as the Jazz are coming off a 13-point loss to the red-hot Raptors on Monday. Leading scorer Donovan Mitchell is expected to return tonight for the Jazz after missing Monday with an ankle injury.

Utah and Dallas are meeting up for the second time this season after the Jazz knocked off the Mavericks at American Airlines Center on October 28 as 4 ½-point favorites, 113-104. That loss for the Mavs (3-7 SU, 6-4 ATS) was part of a six-game slide that eventually ended in last night’s 119-100 home blowout of the slumping Wizards. Dallas has competed well in the role of a road underdog this season by going 3-0 ATS, as the Mavs covered in losses to the Raptors, Spurs, and Lakers.

The Butler Did It

Yes, Jimmy Butler played a game for the Timberwolves recently. The disgruntled swingman scored 20 points in Monday’s loss to the Clippers, as Minnesota is being careful with Butler, who it has been looking to trade. The Wolves (4-7 SU, 4-7 ATS) seek their first road win tonight as they remain in Los Angeles to face the Lakers. Minnesota is 0-6 away from Target Center, but edged Los Angeles on October 29 as 1 ½-point underdogs, 124-120.

The Lakers (4-6 SU, 3-7 ATS) have started slowly with LeBron James wearing Purple and Gold, which includes a 1-4 ATS mark the last five games. L.A. has covered one game at Staples Center in five opportunities, which coincidentally came in a seven-point win over Denver, handing the Nuggets their lone loss on the season. Since going OVER the total against Minnesota, the Lakers have hit the UNDER in three straight games, all with totals of 234 ½ and higher as tonight’s total sits at 236 ½.

Scratching Back Home

The Grizzlies (5-4 SU, 5-4 ATS) head back to FedEx Forum after dropping the final two games of their three-game road trip at Phoenix and Golden State. Memphis was tied with the defending champions at halftime on Monday, but the Warriors outscored the Grizzlies, 34-15 in the third quarter and picked up a cover as 14-point favorites in a 117-101 win. The Grizzlies have been solid at home so far by going 3-0 SU/ATS, but are listed as ‘dogs at FedEx for the first time this season.

The Nuggets (9-1 SU, 7-3 ATS) keep rolling after rallying past the Celtics on Monday, 115-107, led by Jamal Murray’s 48 points. Denver is riding a five-game winning streak, while owning a 4-1 ATS mark as a favorite of five points or less. The Nuggets captured three of four meetings from the Grizzlies last season, but Memphis cashed in both opportunities as a home underdog, while all four matchups finished UNDER the total.

Wednesday’s college hoop games— Not a lot of info to go on until teams play some games…….

Cincinnati/Ohio State last met in 2012 Sweet 16; Bearcats lost three starters from LY’s 31-5 team that blew a 22-point 2nd half lead in a 2nd round NCAA loss to Nevada. Cincy is picked to win AAC again this year- they took a trip to Canada this summer, so had some extra practices. Ohio State lost three starters from a 25-9 team; they’re picked near middle of Big 14. Buckeyes are a much younger team this year. Last three years, AAC teams are 11-10 vs spread when playing a Big 14 opponent.

Home side won last three Marshall-Eastern Kentucky games; Thundering Herd lost 89-80 in their last visit here two years ago- they beat EKU by 20 LY, making 11-25 on arc. Marshall has four starters back from a 25-11 team that upset Wichita State in NCAA’s LY, before losing to West Virginia in 2nd round. Colonels lost three starters from an 11-20 team; they’ve got a new coach. EKU is picked near bottom of OVC. Last three years, OVC teams are 18-14-1 vs spread when playing a C-USA team.

Western Carolina lost four starters from LY’s 13-19 team, so now they’ve got a new coach, the son of former Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser. WCU is picked to finish near bottom of SoCon; they’ve got some shooters but lack overall talent. Wright State has four starters back from a 25-10 team that lost to Tennessee in NCAA’s. Raiders are expected to be deeper this season. Last three years, SoCon teams covered six of seven games against Horizon opponents.

Wednesday's MACtion
Brian Edwards

Gamblers have a pair of MACtion games to tackle Wednesday, meaning there are a pair of sides and totals, in addition to first quarter and first-half wagers. Let’s get you prepped up for these contests now before sorting through a plethora of national notes in Bonus Nuggets down below…

**Ohio at Miami (OH.)**

-- As of Tuesday morning, most betting shops had Ohio (6-3 straight up, 6-3 against the spread) installed as a 3.5-point road favorite with a total of 63. The RedHawks were +145 on the money line (risk $100 to win $145).

-- Ohio is 4-1 in MAC play, one game back of 5-0 Buffalo in the East Division standings. (The Bulls were hosting Kent State as heavy home favorites on Tuesday night. These rivals will collide in Athens in next Wednesday.

-- Frank Solich’s squad has won five of its past six games both SU and ATS, including last week’s 59-14 win at Western Michigan as a three-point road ‘chalk.’ The 73 combined points went ‘over’ the 65-point tally. The Bobcats stormed out to a 45-0 halftime lead and coasted into the win column. QB Nathan Rourke connected on 12-of-14 passes for 149 yards and three TDs without an interception. He also ran for 68 yards and two TDs on nine attempts. Senior RB A.J. Ouellette ran for 71 yards and one score on eight carries. Senior WR Andrew Meyer had four receptions for 65 yards, while senior WR Papi White had four grabs for 39 yards and one TD.

-- Ohio has won three straight games vs. Bowling Green (49-14), vs. Ball State (52-14) and at Western Michigan, combining to score 160 points. The Bobcats have taken the cash in four straight outings. Their three defeats came vs. Virginia (45-31 in Nashville), at Cincinnati (34-30) and at No. Illinois (24-21).

-- Rourke has completed 62.9 percent of his throws for 1,766 yards with a 17/5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The junior signal caller has rushed for a team-high 637 yards and eight TDs with a 7.3 yards-per-carry average. Rourke’s favorite target is White, who has 42 receptions for 706 yards and seven TDs. Andrew Meyer has 27 catches for 370 yards and three TDs.

-- Ouellette has rushed for 609 yards and eight TDs with a 4.8 YPC average, while Maleek Irons has 566 rushing yards, six TDs and a 6.5 YPC average. Ouellette has 13 catches for 117 yards and one TD, while Irons has five receptions for 34 yards and one TD.

-- Miami (3-6 SU, 5-4 ATS) has lost outright in three of four home games while going 2-2 ATS. This is Chuck Martin’s second game as a home underdog this year, as it covered the spread in a 40-39 loss to Western Michigan as a three-point ‘dog.

-- Miami saw its 5-0 ATS run ended last Tuesday night in a 51-42 loss at Buffalo as a seven-point road underdog. The Bulls missed an extra point when they took a 48-42 advantage with 8:53 remaining, but kicker Adam Mitcheson made amends with 3:54 left by burying a 37-yard field goal to secure the spread cover. The RedHawks twice led by seven in the first quarter and battled back from two separate 14-point deficit in the third quarter. Trailing 42-28 with 2:29 left in the third, senior QB Gus Ragland hit Kenny Young for a 59-yard TD pass. Then with 17 ticks remaining in the third, Ragland pulled his team even at 42-42 on a one-yard TD plunge.

-- In the loss at Buffalo, Ragland completed 20-of-35 passes for 313 yards and one TD without an interception. He rushed 16 times for 53 yards and three TDs. RB Alonzo Smith ran for a team-best 63 rushing yards and two scores on 13 attempts. Young had five receptions for 95 yards and one TD.

-- Ragland has enjoyed a stellar career. During his senior campaign, he’s completed 60.2 percent of his passes for 2,082 yards with a 15/3 TD-INT ratio. Ragland has rushed for 198 yards and five TDs. For his career, Ragland has 5,847 passing yards, 866 rushing yards, a 54/11 TD-INT ratio and 12 rushing TDs.

-- Smith has run for 405 yards and four TDs with a 4.8 YPC average. Young has 34 receptions for 308 yards and four TDs, in addition to rushing for 259 yards and three TDs with a 6.8 YPC average. Jack Sorenson has become Ragland’s favorite target since two-time All-MAC selection James Gardner went down with a season-ending injury. Gardner, who had 92 receptions for 1,677 yards and 17 TDs in 2016 and ’17, had 12 catches for 157 yards before getting injured early in a Week 3 loss at Minnesota. Sorenson had made 39 grabs for 593 yards and two TDs.

-- As a home underdog during Martin’s five-year tenure, Miami owns a 5-4-1 spread record in 10 such spots.

-- Before last week’s loss at Buffalo, Miami went 3-2 SU and 5-0 ATS with its outright defeats coming by two combined points. In addition to the gut-wrenching defeat vs. Western Michigan, the RedHawks lost 31-30 at Army in double overtime as 6.5-point road underdogs. After the Black Knights went ahead 31-24 on their first possession to start the second OT, Miami responded with Ragland’s 18-yard TD pass to Luke Maycock. Martin then elected to go for two and the win on the road, but Ragland’s conversion pass failed. Ragland threw for 329 yards and four TDs without a pick at Army.

-- Ohio has won five games in a row in this head-to-head series, going 3-1-1 ATS with three consecutive spread covers. The lone non-cover came in a 41-16 win as a 26-point home favorite in 2013. The Bobcats won a 45-28 decision last season as 6.5-point home ‘chalk.’ The 73 combined points soared ‘over’ the 54-point total to end a 7-1 surge of ‘unders’ in this in-state rivalry. Rourke completed 21-of-33 passes for 294 yards and three TDs without an interception, in addition to rushing for 54 yards and three scores on 10 carries. White had five receptions for 80 yards and one TD. Ragland didn’t play due to an injury.

-- Miami will be without two defensive starters in senior LB Junior McMullen and senior DT Nate Trawich, both of whom are ‘out’ with season-ending injuries. In six games, McMullen had recorded 42 tackles, one sack, 3.5 tackles for loss, one QB hurry and one pass broken up. In five games, Trawich had produced 11 tackles and 0.5 sacks. Also, three other defensive starters – DB De’Andre Mongomery, DB Daryus Thompson and DB Deondre Daniels – are listed as ‘questionable.’ Daniels has missed four games in a row and Thompson sat out last week’s loss at Buffalo. Montgomery has 55 tackles, one sack and 0.5 TFL’s despite missing the loss at Army and being limited at Buffalo. Thompson has 19 tackles, two PBU, 1.5 TFL’s and one QB hurry.

-- The ‘over’ is 6-3 overall for the RedHawks, 2-2 in their home games. They’ve seen the ‘over’ hit at a 5-1 clip in their past six games. Miami's games have averaged combined scores of 55.8 PPG.

-- The ‘under’ is on a 3-1-1 run for the Bobcats, but they’ve watched the ‘over’ go 5-3-1 overall and 2-2 in their road assignments (3-2 if you count the ‘over’ that hit when Ohio’s road game at Virginia was moved to Nashville due to a hurricane in September). Ohio’s games have averaged combined scores of 67.8 PPG.

-- According to weather.com on Tuesday morning, the forecast in Oxford for Wednesday night was calling for clear skies, lights winds of 4-5 miles per hour and temperatures in the mid-30s Fahrenheit.

-- Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPNU.

**Toledo at Northern Illinois**

-- As of Tuesday morning, most spots had No. Illinois (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) listed as a three-point favorite with a total of 55.5. The Rockets were available to win outright for a +140 payout (risk $100 to win $140).

-- Since losing 37-19 at FSU in a game that was closer than the final score indicated on Sept. 22, Rod Carey’s team has won five games in a row while going 4-1 versus the number. NIU is off a 36-26 win at Akron as a six-point road favorite last Thursday. The 62 combined points catapulted ‘over’ the 37-point total to end a 4-0 run of ‘unders’ for the Huskies. Sophomore QB Marcus Childers attempted 28 passes and completed 21 of those for 188 yards and one TD without an interception. Sophomore RB Tre Harbison rushed 23 times for 169 yards and one TD.

-- No. Illinois has won two of its three home games while compiling a 1-2 spread record. The outright defeat was a 17-6 setback vs. Utah when the Utes got a pick-six late in the fourth quarter to put the game on ice. The only other loss for the Huskies came by a 33-7 count at Iowa in the season opener. They're 5-0 in conference play and sit atop the MAC West with a 1.5-game advantage over Western Michigan, which is 4-2 in league action and hosts NIU on the regular-season finale on Nov. 20. The Rockets still have a pulse in the division with their 3-2 MAC record, but they must win here to keep their conference hopes alive.

-- NIU is ranked 12th in the nation in run defense and 29th in scoring ‘D,’ limiting foes to an average of 21.7 PPG. This unit won’t have DE Quintin Wynne in the first half due to a targeting penalty from last week. Wynne has produced 21 tackles, one sack, four TFL’s and two QB hurries.

-- Toledo (5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS) has won back-to-back games both SU and ATS, including a 45-13 win over Ball State as a 19.5-point home favorite last Wednesday. The 58 combined points dropped ‘under’ the 64-point total. The Rockets’ defense produced five turnovers and scored a TD. Therefore, QB Eli Peters’s four interception were easily overcome. Peters completed 25-of-34 passes for 327 yards and two TDs. WR Diontae Johnson had five receptions for 100 yards, while Cody Thompson brought down six catches for 75 yards and one TD. Redshirt freshman RB Bryant Koback ran for 78 yards and two TDs on 15 attempts.

-- Toledo is 1-2 both SU and ATS in its three road assignments. The Rockets are 1-1 both SU and ATS as road underdogs this year and 3-3 ATS as road ‘dogs during Jason Candle’s three-year tenure.

-- Toledo is ranked 11th in the nation in scoring, averaging 41.2 PPG.

-- Peters is expected to get the starting nod at NIU since Mitchell Guadagni is ‘doubtful’ with a shoulder injury. Guadagni has missed two games and parts of several others. He has completed 57.5 percent of his passes for 1,053 yards with a 13/3 TD-INT ratio. Guadagni has rushed for 429 yards and three TDs with a 5.6 YPC average. Peter has connected on 53.7 percent of his throws for 998 yards with an 11/6 TD-INT ratio.

-- Toledo has one of the nation's top groups of WRs. Diontae Johnson, a first-team All-MAC selection last year, has 33 receptions for 583 yards and seven TDs. Diontae Johnson is second in the MAC in all-purpose yards with 1,095. Thompson, a first-team All-MAC choice in 2016 who missed last season injured and was redshirted, has 31 catches for 425 yards and 10 TDs. Jon’Vea Johnson has 21 grabs for 415 yards and four TDs.

-- Koback has rushed for a team-high 512 yards and nine TDs with a 5.8 YPC average. Shakif Seymour has 422 rushing yards, three TDs and a 4.6 YPC average, while Art Thompkins has 328 rushing yards, three TDs and a 5.3 YPC average.

-- Toledo beat NIU 27-17 as a 7.5-point home favorite in last season’s encounter at The Glass Bowl. The 44 combined points went ‘under’ the 56.5-point tally. Diontae Johnson had 10 receptions for 166 yards.

-- The ‘under’ is 7-2 overall for NIU, 3-0 in its home contests. The Huskies have seen their games average combined scores of 40.9 PPG.

-- The ‘over’ is 6-3 overall for Toledo, 2-1 in its road assignments. However, the Rockets have watched the ‘under’ go 3-1 in their past four contests. They’ve seen their games produce average combined scores of 72.0 PPG.

-- The ‘under’ has been a winner in six straight head-to-head meetings between these schools.

-- According to weather.com as of Tuesday morning, temperatures in Dekalb on Wednesday night are expected to dip into the mid-20s Fahrenheit. Conditions are supposed to clear but winds could be a factor at 10-20 mph.

-- ESPN2 will provide the broadcast at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Texas Tech QB Alan Bowman is ‘out’ for Saturday’s home game vs. Texas. The Red Raiders might be without star senior LB Dakota Allen, who was ‘questionable’ after leaving last week’s narrow loss to Oklahoma with a knee injury.

-- Stanford is dealing with a slew of key injuries heading into Saturday’s home game vs. Oregon State. RB Bryce Love (ankle), WR J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (ankle), OG Nate Herbig and back-up RB Trevor Speights are listed as ‘questionable.’ Love and Herbig were first-team All-Americans in Phil Steele’s preseason magazine and Arcega-Whiteside was a fourth-teamer. The Cardinal remains without defensive starters in LB Joey Alfieri and safety Ben Edwards, both of whom are out indefinitely. Arcega-Whiteside has 48 receptions for 754 yards and 11 TDs. The ‘over’ is on a 5-1 run for Stanford in its past six games.

-- The ‘under’ has cashed in five straight games for California, which was – depending on how you look at it -- fortunate to cover the number yet unfortunate to not pull the outright upset in a 19-13 loss at Washington State as a 7.5-point road underdog this past week. The Cougars missed a short field goal and an extra point in the second half, in addition to missing out on an easy scoring opportunity when Willie Taylor‘s interception that appeared destined to become a pick-six turned into a touchback instead. Taylor intercepted Cal’s RS freshman QB Chase Gabers at the Cal 40 and was tripped up three yards shy of paydirt. As Taylor was going down, however, he coughed the ball up before his knee was down and the ball went through the end zone. With the game tied and 7:34 remaining, Garbers was inexplicably lifted in favor of the more mobile back-up QB Brandon McIlwain, who started his career at South Carolina, on a first-and-10 play from WSU’s 12. McIlwain rolled to his right and overthrew his receiver in the end zone and was intercepted by Skyler Thomas. Nevertheless, Justin Wilcox’s defense held Mike Leach’s offense to a season-low 19 points one week after limiting Washington 10 points. The Golden Bears are at USC this week. They were 5.5-point road underdogs Tuesday morning, and a few offshores had released the total at 48.

-- As of early Tuesday, Utah State QB Jordan Love was ‘questionable’ for Saturday’s home vs. San Jose State. The Aggies improved to 8-1 both SU and ATS with last week’s 56-17 win at Hawaii as 18-point road ‘chalk.’ Love, who has thrown for 2,185 yards with an 19/4 TD-INT ratio, left the game in the first half after taking a knee to the helmet and didn’t return. The ‘over’ also improved to 8-1 when the 73 combined points went ‘over’ the 70.5-point total before the end of the third quarter. Love also has five rushing scores this year. He was replaced by RS freshman Henry Colombi, who has completed 33-of-40 throws this season for 239 yards. Colombi also has 122 rushing yards and one TD on 13 carries. Love has been on fire since Week 3, throwing 18 TD passes compared to merely one interception.

-- Speaking of Hawaii, this team has needed an open date in the worst way for more than a month. The Warriors, who are finally off this weekend after playing 11 games in 11 weeks, got off to a shocking 6-1 start, but they’ve lost four games in a row both SU and ATS as their insane travel schedule has caught up with them. All four of the L’s during Hawaii’s current slide have come by margins of 18 points or more. Although he’s certainly cooled off in recent weeks, QB Cole McDonald still has outstanding numbers for the season: 3,163 passing yards with a 32/6 TD-INT ratio.

-- South Alabama QB Evan Orth is dealing with a shoulder issue that has him listed as ‘questionable’ for Saturday’s home game vs. ULM. Orth has thrown for 1,704 yards with a 10/3 TD-INT ratio for the Jaguars.

-- UNLV QB Armani Rogers is hoping to return to action Saturday at San Diego State. Rogers has been out since late September with a broken toe. He’s ‘questionable’ against the Aztecs. Rogers had a 6/4 TD-INT ratio, 488 rushing yards, six rushing scores and a 6.9 YPC average before going down in Week 4. Without Rogers, the Rebels have lost five consecutive contests and gone 1-4 ATS.

-- San Diego State had been without star RB Juwan Washington since Week 4 until he returned this past weekend in a 31-23 non-covering triumph at New Mexico. Washington ran for 95 yards and two TDs on 11 carries. In five games, Washington has run for 608 yards and seven TDs with a 5.5 YPC average. Starting QB Christian Chapman also came back at UNM after missing six straight games while injured. Chapman connected on 13-of-19 throws for 182 yards and one TD without an interception.

-- Appalachian State QB Zac Thomas (concussion) has been upgraded to ‘probable' at Texas State. Thomas has an 11/4 TD-INT ratio, 1,145 passing yards, 281 rushing yards and six rushing TDs. After going down in a 34-14 loss at Ga. Southern, Thomas missed a 23-7 win at Coastal Carolina.

3-Unit Play. #523 Take Marshall (-8) over Eastern Kentucky (7 p.m., Wednesday, November 7)
Marshall won 27 games a season ago, and they bring back six of their top seven scorers from this NCAA Tournament team. EKU is picked to finish in the middle of much weaker Ohio Valley Conference. The Thundering Herd will run and look to put up 80 or 90 in every game they play this year. This number won't feel like it based on the tempo Marshall plays.

Play on: OVER 168 -110

1* Free Pick on Marshall/Eastern Kentucky OVER 168
Last year the average score for a Marshall game was 163 points and that number figures to rise in this season. Marshall has taken an analytics approach to the college game, where head coach Dan D'Antoni has littered his roster with guys who can hit the 3-point shot and finish around the rim. Very similar to what his younger brother is doing in the NBA with the Houston Rockets.
Marshall returns their offensive catalyst in senior guard Jon Elmore, who figures to be an All-American candidate. Elmore averaged 22.7 ppg. He's not the only guy who can light it up. Fellow senior C.J. Burks averaged 20.1 ppg. This backcourt is going to have it's way with Eastern Kentucky.
The key here is that while Marshall is really good at lighting up the scoreboard, they aren't exactly the best defensive team. While Eastern Kentucky is going thru a bit of a transition, they bring back the potential Ohio Valley Player of the Year in Nick Mayo. He'll keep the Colonels in this until the end and I think we could upwards of 180 points in this one. Take the OVER!

Game# 103-104
Play On: Under 61.0
Ohio has been dominant in going 3-0 SU&ATS during their previous 3 games while scoring 49 points or greater on each occasion. Nonetheless, they also allowed exactly 14 points during each of those contests.
Miami is coming off last Tuesday’s 51-42 loss at Buffalo. This will be their largest total of the season with their previous high being 58.5 against Kent State. By the way, that contest against Kent State easily stayed under during a 31-6 Miami win.
Any team (Ohio) with a total of 56.5 to 63 who’s scored 31 points or more in each of its previous 2 games, and they’re facing an opponent (Miami-Ohio) coming off a contest in which there was a combined 80 points or more scored, resulted in those games going 76-34 (69.1%) under the total since 1992. This precise betting angle has also gone 34-11 (75.6%) under since 2014 and 7-1 under this season. Bet on this game to go under the total for my Wednesday 11/7 free pick.

Play on: Miami-OH +5 -110 at YouWager

10* FREE NCAAF PICK (Miami, OH +5)
I'll take my chances here with Miami as a home dog against the rival Bobcats. I’m not 100% convinced that Ohio should be favored in this one. Miami is way better than their record indicates and I just think there’s enough at stake here that we get their best effort.
The RedHawks missed out on a bowl game last year at 5-7 and if they want to have a shot at extending their season, they have to win their final 3 games. That right there is plenty of motivation, but even if they were 2-7 right now, I’m willing to bet they would play their hearts out to try and end this losing streak to the Bobcats (lost 5 straight).
Ohio comes in off an impressive 3-game stretch, where they have absolutely annihilated the competition. It started with a 49-14 win at home over Bowling Green. Then came a 52-14 win at home over Ball State and finally a 49-14 win at Western Michigan.
We did see them lose on the road to Northern Illinois and while they need to win here for next week’s game against Buffalo to matter, the Bobcats might have a hard time not looking ahead to that showdown with the Bulls.
I also really like the matchup here for Miami. The RedHawks have one of the better defenses in the MAC and while they were shredded by Buffalo a week ago, most of the damage done by the Bulls came through the air. Ohio doesn’t have near the passing attack as Buffalo and I think they could really struggle to get going.
On the flip side of this, you might think the Bobcats have this great defense, given they have held 3 straight opponents to exactly 14-points, but their defense is giving up 28.6 ppg on the road, as well as 4.8 yards/carry, 66.2% completion rate and 6.3 yards/play.
Another reason for Ohio’s success of late, is they posted a +9 turnover margin in their last 3 games. They didn’t turn it over more than once in any of those games after giving it away 12 times in their previous 5. Bobcats are a mere 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games after 3 straight games where they had 1 or fewer turnovers. Give me Miami +5!

This is a spot here where I want no part of the Thunder. Westbrook went down with an ankle injury and he isn't going to be back for this game. I also think the Thunder will just go through the motions here as they have a big game on deck tomorrow night against the Rockets.
Of course the Cavs are terrible, but given this situation they are worth a look here and since they know Westbrook is out I think they believe they can win so the effort will be there tonight

Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: Cleveland Cavaliers +6.5
The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered a big blow when Russell Westbrook went down with an ankle injury last time out against the Pelicans. I don’t think his absence is being factored into the line enough, and that’s partly because the Thunder come in on a five-game winning streak. But Westbrook was the biggest reason for that streak.
Westbrook also sat out the first two games of the season for the Thunder while recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. It’s no surprise the Thunder opened the season 0-4 as even when he returned in Game 3 he wasn’t in game shape. He was finally starting to play like his old self. The Thunder will certainly miss him.
That’s why I’ll pull the trigger on the Cavaliers as 6.5-point home underdogs tonight. I think there’s value here, especially with the fact that the Cavaliers have opened the season 1-9. The Cavs have been more competitive since Larry Drew replaced Tyronn Lue, going 1-3 in their last four games with a blowout win over the Hawks and only a 2-point road loss in Orlando in which they blew a late 5-point lead with 24 seconds left.
The home team is 17-8 ATS in the last 25 meetings. The Thunder are 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Cleveland. Oklahoma City is 6-19 ATS in road games after covering four or five of their last six against the spread over the last three years. The Thunder are 11-27 ATS in their last 38 road games after a combined score of 235 points or more. Bet the Cavaliers Wednesday.

**8-1 FREE PICK RUN ~ 20-8 SINCE SEPTEMBER 1**
The Detroit Pistons have fallen apart completely since a perfect 4-0 start to the season as they travel to Orlando looking to put an end to an ugly five-game losing streak. They're still 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games and here the Pistons will face an Orlando team getting a bit too much credit coming off back-to-back victories against San Antonio and Cleveland.
How often would you expect this Magic team to win three in a row? How often do you expect this Pistons team, a playoff contender, to lose six consecutive games?
I'm not saying Pistons are "due", but they've lost a couple of close ones recently and the value is without a doubt on the visitors in this matchup.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on New Orleans Pelicans -10.5
The Pelicans are in need of a win. They have lost six straight following a 4-0 start. They should get the win and cover against the lowly Chicago Bulls tonight. The last five losses were all on the road, and the Pelicans now return home where they have been very good this season at 3-1. And they’re a lot healthier now as Anthony Davis and others have missed some time during this skid, but Davis is back healthy now. The Bulls are just 3-8 on the season with their three wins coming against the Hornets, Hawks and Knicks, three of the worst teams in the NBA. And two of those wins came by a combined 3 points. This is a big step up in class for them here tonight. The Pelicans are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a losing record, and 8-0 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team that wins less than 40% of their games. The Bulls are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Give me the Pelicans.

NBA | Wolves vs Lakers
Play on: Lakers -5 -110 at 5Dimes

I won with the Wolves when they beat the Lakers on 10/29. That was at Minnesota though and it was before the T-Wolves officially hit the skids. Though a great talent, Butler currently seems to be more of a distraction than he's worth. The T-Wolves are 0-3 SU/ATS on the first three legs of their 5-game road trip. All three losses came by double-digits. Don't expect the Lakers to feel sorry for them. LA got hammered in front of its home fans last time out and is hungry to make amends. Payback time. Consider laying the points.

NIU played a very rare Over last week when they sailed Over the total in their game at Akron.

I look for a return to the norm tonight when they host Toledo in a game that will go a long way in deciding who reps the West of the MAC in the championship game at the end of the month.

The Huskies are only allowing 21+ points per game for the year, and prior to last week's rare Over, they had been Under in 4 straight. For the season, Northern Illinois is 7-2 Under the posted price.

Toledo rang up 45 points last week in their win at home over Ball State, but the game did hold Under, as the Rockets have seen 3 of their last 4 in MACtion land Under the total.

Taking a look at series numbers, each of the last 6 showdowns have landed Under the total.

The Rockets offense can be dangerous, but they are still likely going to be using their backup quarterback Eli Peters here, and he did get picked off 4 times last week against Ball State. Turnovers are tricky to predict, but if they occur tonight, I am planning on them occurring when the teams are being aggressive in trying to get into the end-zone. If that happens, well that just makes the field longer to traverse.

Make it 7-for-7 Under in this MAC West rivalry.

Toledo-NIU Under.

Wednesday's comp play comes in the NBA as I side with the Denver Nuggets to continue to play top-shelf basketball tonight in their stand-alone road game at the Grind House in Memphis.

Denver just beat-back Boston, 115-107 on their home court on Monday night, as they made it 5 straight wins, and 3 straight covers.

The 9-1 Nuggets can join the Warriors and the Raptors as the only double-digit win teams in the league if they can take care of business tonight over the Grizzlies, and with wins in 3 of the last 4 in this series, I do indeed like their chances.

Memphis is back home after 3 straight on the road, but they do come home after being handled in their last pair of highway affairs, losing a close one in Phoenix by just a basket, then getting steamrolled in Golden State by 17-points.

The difference tonight is the "team" play of Denver, as each night it is someone different that helps boost the club to the "W". On Monday it was Jamal Murray who went for a career-high 48 points. Paul Millsap, Nikola Jokic, and Gary Harris have also taken their turns this season wearing the Superman Cape.

The Nuggs are just playing too well right now to be cooled off tonight.

Lay the road wood with Denver as they make it a 10-1 start to the year.
