Los Angeles Chargers vs. Baltimore Ravens Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NFL Predictions 3rd January 2019 by Gracenote
Chargers vs. Ravens Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 01/03/2019

The Los Angeles Chargers finished tied with the best record in the AFC but one loss over the final six games cost them a chance at the No. 1 overall seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Instead, the Chargers have to open the postseason on the road and will get a chance to avenge a Week 16 defeat when they visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Although Los Angeles lost 22-10 -- a deceptive margin after a late fumble was returned for a score -- in the first matchup versus the Ravens (as the Chargers were -4 point favorite at intertops), it will take a 7-1 road mark into the rematch in Baltimore. "We love coming into your place -- whichever team you may be -- and doing our thing," Chargers rookie safety Derwin James said. "Our motto around here is 'Any squad, any place,' that's what we say around here." The Ravens went 6-1 down the stretch after turning the offense over to rookie Lamar Jackson, who will become the youngest quarterback to start a playoff game. "It's just a name -- 'the playoffs,'" Jackson said. "You're trying to get the championship now. It was for us to get in it, and we're in it now, so we want the big thing. We want the big thing now."

TV: 1:05 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Ravens -3. O/U: 42

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (12-4): Philip Rivers had one of the finest seasons of his 15-year career, posting a passer rating of 105.5 while throwing for 4,308 with 32 touchdowns versus 12 interceptions, but Baltimore picked him off twice and held him to a season-low 181 yards. Running back Melvin Gordon rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries in Week 16 in his first game back after missing the previous three with an ankle injury, but he said this week that he feels much healthier entering the rematch. Keenan Allen is the favorite target of Rivers with 97 receptions for 1,196 yards and leads a talented receiving corps that could see the return of tight end Hunter Henry, sidelined since May with a torn ACL. Melvin Ingram, one of seven Chargers named to the Pro Bowl, and fellow defensive end Joey Bosa combined for 12.5 sacks for the NFL's No. 9 defense.



ABOUT THE RAVENS (10-6): Jackson relied just as much on his legs as his arm since taking over for an injured Joe Flacco, but he threw for a season-high 204 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers, who held him to a rushing low of 39 yards in his seven starts. Running back Gus Edwards moved into the starting lineup at the same time as Jackson and had three 100-yard games while never rushing for fewer than 67 yards, including 92 on 14 carries at Los Angeles. Kenneth Dixon had at least eight carries in all five games in December, rushing for 289 yards on 47 attempts, but neither John Brown, Michael Crabtree or Willie Snead has seen regular targets with Jackson at quarterback. Baltimore features the league's No. 1 overall defense, ranking fourth against the rush (82.9 yards), fifth versus the pass (210.0) and second in points allowed (17.9).

EXTRA POINTS

1. Rivers can become the fourth QB to post a passer rating of at least 115.0 in three straight playoff games.

2. Jackson was 4-0 at home, including three games with at least 90 yards rushing.

3. Gordon scored nine touchdowns in six road games this season.

PREDICTION: Chargers 20, Ravens 19

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Chicago Bears Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NFL Predictions 3rd January 2019 by Gracenote
Eagles vs. Bears Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 01/03/2019

The Chicago Bears opened the door for the Philadelphia Eagles to defend their Super Bowl crown with a suffocating performance against Minnesota in the regular-season finale. The third-seeded Bears bid to shut that door just as swiftly on Sunday when they host the sixth-seeded Eagles at Soldier Field in Chicago in an NFC wild-card game.

Mitchell Trubisky took a giant step forward following last year's rookie season, recording a franchise-best four games with a 120-plus quarterback rating while throwing for 24 touchdowns and rushing for three more as Chicago elevated from the NFC North's outhouse to the penthouse. Coach Matt Nagy stressed for Trubisky "to not change. For him to continue to do just what he does (and) don't put any extra added pressure on himself." Quarterback Nick Foles thrived under that glaring spotlight last season, guiding the "underdog" -- albeit top-ranked -- Eagles to three straight wins while securing Super Bowl MVP honors for himself in the process. The 29-year-old Foles (ribs) participated fully in Thursday's practice for Philadelphia, which returns to the postseason in consecutive years for the first time since the 2009-10 seasons and bids to become the first repeat Super Bowl champion since the 2003-04 New England Patriots.

TV: 4:40 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Bears -6 O/U: 41

ABOUT THE EAGLES (9-7): While Alshon Jeffery relished his meeting against his former team last year, Sunday's contest carries more weight since it's a playoff tilt as opposed to another battle against the Bears. "I don't have any feelings, honestly. It's a playoff game," said the 28-year-old Jeffery, who spent the first five years (2012-16) of his career in the Windy City. "... We're playing the Bears, but if we were playing anybody else, I still couldn't wait to play this game. I'm excited to be in the playoffs." Jeffery enjoyed one of the best postseasons in Eagles' history last winter, rolling up 219 receiving yards and three touchdowns in wins over Atlanta, Minnesota and New England. Pro Bowler Zach Ertz set an NFL record this season for catches (116) by a tight end to go along with a career-best 1,163 receiving yards.



ABOUT THE BEARS (12-4): Chicago's bread and butter is an aggressive defense that is ranked No. 1 in the NFL in points allowed (17.7), yards per play permitted (4.78), passing yards per play (5.29), takeaways (36) and interceptions (27). Trade acquisition Khalil Mack recorded 8.5 of his club-best 12.5 sacks and four forced fumbles at Soldier Field, helping the Bears to a 7-1 mark at home this season. The running game slowly gained traction, with rugged Jordan Howard boosting his touchdown total to a career-high nine with four in the last three games -- including a pair in Sunday's 24-10 victory versus the Vikings (as the Bears were +6 point underdog at intertops). Versatile Tarik Cohen provided a potent threat out of the backfield with 1,169 scrimmage yards (725 receiving, 444 rushing), becoming one of five Bears to earn Pro Bowl honors this season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Philadelphia Pro Bowl DT Fletcher Cox notched three of his team-leading 10.5 sacks in Sunday's 24-0 win over Washington.

2. Chicago TE Trey Burton, who gained famed as the "quarterback" of the Philly Special in Super Bowl LII, had five receptions in each of his last two contests.

3. Philadelphia CB Rasul Douglas reeled in two of his club-best three interceptions in the last four games.

PREDICTION: Bears 24, Eagles 17

Event: (105) Los Angeles Chargers at (106) Baltimore Ravens
Sport/League: NFL
Date/Time: January 6, 2019 1PM EST
Play: Los Angeles Chargers 3.0 (-110)

3% Take the LA Chargers (#105)

In college, Lamar Jackson gave just about everyone he faced all kinds of difficulties in their first meeting against him – that’s how he won the Heisman Trophy in 2016 as a sophomore. But the second time around – his junior season – Jackson’s numbers declined, as did the fortunes of his Louisville team. Defenses that had seen him once already were able to make adjustments.

What does that have to do with the Chargers – Ravens game on Sunday? Simple: the Chargers faced Jackson two weeks ago. Now, they’ll be the first NFL team to get a second look at a QB that hasn’t yet proved he can successfully complete downfield passes at an NFL level.

When the Chargers faced the Ravens two weeks ago, they did a better job at shutting down Lamar Jackson’s running attack than any other team he’s faced. Jackson did have one run for 27 yards. On his other 12 rushing attempts, he gained a grand total of only 12 yards. Baltimore won the game by margin because Philip Rivers had a rough evening.

Here’s Rivers quote, immediately following that contest: “We got off to a terrible start, turning the ball over on the first play. And we had three third-down conversions called back really that we couldn't overcome. We got ourselves in third-and-super-long a lot. It's a good defense and they outplayed us today……We may get another crack at them in two weeks."

It’s surely worth noting that LA will be healthier for the rematch when it comes to their playmakers on offense. Melvin Gordon should be good to go, Keenan Allen is back near 100% as is Mike Williams. And start tight end Hunter Henry, who has been out all year, looks poised to get back into the starting lineup this weekend, giving playoff veteran Philip Rivers a full complement of weapons. Live dog here! Take the Chargers.

After a 22-10 final score between these 2 teams back on December 22nd in a game that held Under the total, I will look for a repeat on the total today at M&T Bank Stadium today.

A closer look at that 22-10 score shows the lone Chargers touchdown came after Baltimore had fumbled the ball away inside of their own 20 early in the 3rd quarter, and the 2 Ravens touchdowns came on a fluke 68 yard TD pass to the tight-end, and a fluke 62 yard fumble return for the other Baltimore score.

I just don't see those plays materializing today between these AFC rivals.

Los Angeles comes into this one having held Under in 3 of their last 4 games, and 7 of their last 10 overall, while Baltimore has played 3 of their last 5 Under the posted total.

With the Baltimore defense really limiting Philip Rivers in the first meeting, it's hard to see Rivers going "ballistic" in this game, and likewise it is hard to imagine rookie Lamar Jackson being put in position to jeopardize ball control football by coach John Harbaugh.

I have a feeling this game is going to be dominated by BOTH defenses, and scoring chances will be very limited today.

The total I am seeing as I type this analysis is around 41 points, but I don't see anything higher than 36 combined points being posted today.

Chargers-Ravens to land Under the total.

4* L.A. CHARGERS-BALTIMORE UNDER

TOMMY BRUNSON

Big Ten action from Iowa City, and that has to be comforting news for the Hawkeyes, as they just got their lunch handed to them yet again on the conference road.

On Thursday the Hawkeyes got steamrolled in West Lafayette against Purdue, as Fran McCaffrey's team has now played 3 times in conference action, and lost all of them.

You may recall Iowa getting blasted in East Lansing against Michigan State in December, with their game prior to that also a loss, at home to Wisconsin.

It's about time Iowa breaks their conference maiden, and I think they will do that against another team that also has been very strong at home, but on the conference road they have had issues breaking through.

Nebraska plays their second in a row on the conference road, as they let their weeknight game earlier this week slip away at Maryland in a 74-72 loss that left them 0-2 on the Big Ten road. The Huskers also losing earlier this term at Minnesota.

The Cornhuskers come in averaging roughly 3 points less per game than the Hawkeyes, but they have done a much better job defensively, as they are holding foes to about 11 points less per game. That's a pretty big difference for sure, but my feeling is after getting waxed on the road again, Iowa will be chomping at the bit for this home contest against a team that drained their well in that loss at College Park.

The home team has won each of the last 4 series meetings, and 8 of the last 9 meetings overall straight up. The host has also covered in 6 of the last 9, so until I see evidence that one of these teams can actually win on the conference road, will stick with the tried and true home stats I have just spelled out for you.

Take the basket they are giving and ride Iowa on Sunday.

3* IOWA

Atlanta back home after 3 straight games on the road. Oh, did I mention those 3 games were ALL losses straight up, with Friday night's setback in Milwaukee a rather lopsided 144-112 tally.

Cannot expect much of a bump just because the Hawks are back in their nest at State Farm Arena, as Atlanta is just 6-10 straight up, and 5-11 against the spread at home thus far.

Miami comes into this one off a Friday night home win over over Washington, as the Heat is now on a 2 game winning streak, and stand at 10-4 straight up their last 14 games contested.

This is already the third series meeting of the season between these Southeast Division rivals, and believe it or not, the Hawks have won and covered BOTH! Atlanta winning 123-118 as the +5 point home dog in November, and also 115-113 in Miami as the +7 1/2 point dog - also in November.

Safe to say the calendar no longer reads November, and also safe to say I do not see the Hawks making it a "hat trick" this Sunday night against the revenge-minded Heat.

Kent Bazemore is the latest felled Hawk as he is watching from the sideline with an ankle sprain.

Miami has covered in 5 of their last 7 games played in Atlanta, and I don't mind laying a little road wood here, as the Heat are 10-7 straight up, and 12-5 against the spread on the road so far this season.

Double-revenge for Miami on Sunday.

Eagles vs. Bears
Eagles+6½ -109

When capping the Eagles you must take out all the games in which Nick Foles didn't play. The team is much more of a passing team with him behind center, and the players believe in him after what he did a year ago. This is an Eagles team that won the Super Bowl last year against a team with a rookie quarterback and rookie head coach. Yes the Bears defense is terrific, no doubt about it. But what can we expect out of this Chicago offense now that its reached the postseason. For a personal bet I'm waiting to see if this line gets to seven. So we are in no hurry right now. Even at the current number there is value on this veteran Eagles squad.

PLAY PHILADELPHIA

[Can'tPickAWinner]

CHIP CHIRIMBES

Eagles/Bears (OVER)

Philadelphia's offense is back on track with Nick Foles leading the way as they seem to play more effectively when he is at the helm. The Bears behind Mitch Trubisky who has cut down his pass interceptions and moves the offense with a balanced attack behind Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen. The Eagles scored 31-points against the Bears last November and move the ball against Chicago who has the No. 1 defense. But, this is playoff time and each team will take advantage of every scoring opportunity. Play OVER!

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NBA Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Los Angeles Lakers are finding life without superstar LeBron James a little difficult with losses in four of the last five games. The Lakers will again be without James when they open a two-game road trip by visiting the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.

James, who suffered a groin injury in a win at the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day and is expected to be reevaluated next week, was on the bench watching as Los Angeles suffered a 119-112 home loss to the lowly New York Knicks on Friday. Joining him on the absentee list was veteran point guard Rajon Rondo, who is out at least a month after undergoing finger surgery, and second-leading scorer Kyle Kuzma (18.3 points), who suffered a lower back contusion in a loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday and is questionable for the road trip. The Timberwolves are dealing with their own injury issues but got point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) back from a nine-game absence on Friday and watched him collect 23 points and 10 assists in a 120-103 win over the Orlando Magic. Teague was one of six players to score in double figures for Minnesota as it overcame a 19-point, first-half deficit by turning up the defense after the break.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles), FS North (Minnesota)

ABOUT THE LAKERS (21-18): Los Angeles was outscored 33-20 in the fourth quarter on Friday without James around to stabilize both ends of the floor. "It was us," Lakers coach Luke Walton told reporters of the fourth quarter. "We fouled. I think they shot 20 free throws in the fourth quarter. ... We have to start making some of these open shots. But that's still not the main reason we lost tonight. We stopped making those extra passes." Small forward Brandon Ingram and point guard Lonzo Ball are trying to step up in the absence of James and Rondo and combined for 11 turnovers in Friday's setback.

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (18-21): Minnesota surrendered 68 points in the first half on Friday but cut that number to 35 after the break but got a boost off the bench from power forward Anthony Tolliver and benefited from Teague's strong return in coming back for the win. "We eased into the game, and you can't do that," Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters. "But once we got going, we made a couple hustle plays. That will usually ignite you. Once we did that, the defense got going." Tolliver was out of Thibodeau's rotation for over a month and a half before logging 26 minutes in a loss at Boston on Wednesday and pushing to 30 on Friday while burying 3-of-5 from 3-point range.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Timberwolves C Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 29 points and 15 rebounds on Friday for his sixth straight double-double.

2. Los Angeles C JaVale McGee is averaging 13.7 points and 9.7 rebounds in three games since returning from a bout with pneumonia.

3. The teams split the first two meetings, with Minnesota earning a 124-120 home win on Oct. 29.

Orlando Magic vs. LA Clippers Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NBA Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Orlando Magic are going through some ups and downs on their current road trip, though so far the downs are outweighing the ups. The Magic will try to bounce back from another discouraging loss when they make the fourth stop of a six-game trip by visiting the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.

Orlando began its trip by getting run off the floor in a 125-100 loss at Charlotte but bounced back by crushing Chicago 112-84 on Wednesday, only to squander a 19-point, first-half lead and drop a 120-103 decision at the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. "We were just lazy, undisciplined and soft," Magic forward Aaron Gordon told reporters of the defense against the Timberwolves. "We didn't have it tonight on the defensive end and it's not OK at this point in the season." The Clippers snapped a two-game slide with a 121-111 win at Phoenix on Friday and gave most of the credit to their effort on the defensive end. "We had a tremendous defense," center Marcin Gortat told reporters. "We tried to communicate more and play harder than the last few games. When you play good defense, the offense starts rolling."

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, FS Florida (Orlando), FS Prime Ticket (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE MAGIC (17-21): Orlando put up 68 points in the first half on Friday but watched that number drop to 35 after the break as struggles on the defensive end bled over to the offense. "We didn't have nearly the defensive effort or mentality that we needed," Magic coach Steve Clifford told reporters. "And when things started to slip away, we stopped running the same quality of offense. (The Timberwolves) picked up their ball pressure, they were more physical, and they pushed us out, and that's when you have to be disciplined about running your stuff, playing for each other and moving the ball, which we didn't do." Orlando was also crushed 63-42 on the glass in falling for the sixth time in the last nine games.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (22-16): Los Angeles was once again led on the offense end Friday by small forward Danilo Gallinari, who scored 21 points on 6-of-11 shooting to go over 20 points for the eighth time in the last 10 games. The 30-year-old, who averages 19.6 points and is shooting 45.5 percent from beyond the arc, added a season-high six assists at Phoenix. Gortat's 18 points and 13 rebounds on Friday both marked season highs for the veteran, who has drifted in and out of coach Doc Rivers' rotation this season.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Magic SF Jonathon Simmons (ankle) collected six points, seven assists and six rebounds off the bench on Friday after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury.

2. Clippers G Lou Williams is averaging 24 points over the last six games.

3. Los Angeles eased to a 120-95 win at Orlando on Nov. 2 behind 28 points from Williams.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Chicago Bulls Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NBA Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Brooklyn Nets will try to stay perfect in the new year when they carry a two-game winning streak into a matchup with the host Chicago Bulls on Sunday afternoon. The Nets opened a three-game road trip with a 109-100 win at Memphis in Friday, avenging a double-overtime loss earlier in the season and winning for the 11th time in their last 14 games overall.

"It was great to get a win on the start the road trip: Just got to keep going," guard D'Angelo Russell told reporters. "We're winning. I haven't won a lot in this league, so for me to get that type of success I'm going to stick with it." Russell recorded at least 22 points and 10 assists in each of his last two games and five others scored in double figures at Memphis as Brooklyn improved to 9-10 on the road. The Bulls have dropped three in a row, including the first two of their three-game homestand. Zach LaVine scored 31 points but Chicago fell 119-116 in overtime to Indiana on Friday, sinking to 5-15 at home.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, YES (Brooklyn), NBCS Chicago

ABOUT THE NETS (19-21): As the wins pile up, Brooklyn is beginning to establish an identity, and Friday's hard-fought victory over a physical team desperate for a win displayed a new-found toughness. "Now we're catching our groove, playing more physical," veteran forward DeMarre Carroll told reporters. "Last year we weren't that physical, just got beat on the boards. Now we've got more guys that don't mind getting hit." Carroll finished with 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting and is averaging 16.8 while making 14-of-28 3-pointers over his last five games.

ABOUT THE BULLS (10-29): Kris Dunn complemented LaVine's big game with 16 points and a career-high 17 assists in Friday's loss while Lauri Markkanen had 29 points, as Chicago's three big building blocks put forth a promising effort. "Everybody had it going," Dunn told reporters. "There have been multiple games where [the core three] kind of had it, but this was one of those games where all three played at a high level. It's just tough that we couldn't come up with the win." LaVine was injured and Markkanen struggled to eight points in last month's 96-93 loss to the Nets, but Dunn had a season high-tying 24 points.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Bulls PF Jabari Parker scored four points in 14 minutes Friday after sitting out the previous nine games.

2. Nets C Jarrett Allen has two straight double-doubles and recorded exactly two blocked shots in four consecutive contests.

3. Brooklyn has won four straight meetings.

PREDICTION: Nets 105, Bulls 100

Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NBA Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Miami Heat are back above .500 and see no reason to go back to being a team that hovers around the break-even point. The Heat will try to put some distance between themselves and .500 when they visit the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.

Miami squandered a pair of opportunities to move above .500 since Christmas but finally accomplished the feat by earning a win at Cleveland on Wednesday and knocking off the Washington Wizards 115-109 at home on Friday. "Let's just take off," Heat center Hassan Whiteside told reporters after being asked about moving above .500. "I think it's on defense. Defense is the key with us and that's what's really going to get us there. We've got a lot of defenders and that's what's going to be the key for us." The Hawks are not quite at the same point on the competition curve and were swept on a three-game road trip, capped by a 144-112 loss at Milwaukee on Friday. "They're playing with an edge and we saw that tonight," Atlanta coach Lloyd Pierce told reporters of the Bucks. "We just didn't have it. That's part of growing pains and that's part of our growth, to understand that you have to go through these things. It's encouraging to see a group that had been through this come out and play with an edge."

TV: 6 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Miami), FS Southeast (Atlanta)

ABOUT THE HEAT (19-18): Miami won eight of its last 10 games and did the bulk of that damage with small forward Justise Winslow serving as the team's point guard. Winslow collected 13 points and 10 assists in Friday's triumph - his sixth straight game scoring in double figures. "I'm asking him to do a lot for this basketball team. There is a lot on his plate," coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters of Winslow. "He's playing a new position, trying to get us organized, trying to get us to our game, to our strengths and then find places where he can be aggressive. And then yes, of course, I'm still asking him to be near the top or at the top of our list on our defensive numbers and charts."

ABOUT THE HAWKS (11-27): Atlanta was never in the game on Friday after falling behind 43-14 at the end of the first quarter but continues to develop its young roster and placed seven scorers in double figures in the loss. Rookie point guard Trae Young collected 13 points and 10 assists for his fifth double-double in the last 12 games and third-year small forward DeAndre' Bembry scored a team-high 19 points off the bench while scoring in double figures for the third time in four games. Second-year power forward John Collins is one of 17 NBA players averaging a double-double at 18.5 points and 10.2 rebounds.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Hawks C Miles Plumlee (knee) sat out the last two games and is day-to-day.

2. Heat SG Dion Waiters (ankle) sat out Friday after making his season debut on Wednesday as the team eases him back into action.

3. Atlanta took each of the first two meetings this season, including a 123-118 home win on Nov. 3.

Wizards vs. Thunder Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Oklahoma City Thunder are winners of three straight after earning a rare victory in Portland on Friday and continue to hang out among the leaders in the Western Conference. The Thunder will try to make it four consecutive wins when they begin a four-game homestand by hosting the Washington Wizards on Sunday.

Oklahoma City won in Portland for the first time since 2014 with Friday's 111-109 triumph as Paul George and Russell Westbrook led the way. "I thought about that yesterday when I landed," Westbrook told reporters of the losing streak at the Trail Blazers. "Hell yeah. So, it's a personal thing for me." Westbrook plays with an edge that seems to make every game a personal thing and will find the motivation against the Wizards, who are 4-17 on the road while suffering through a disappointing season. Washington opened its three-game trip with a 115-109 setback at Miami on Friday to stretch its road losing streak to eight in a row.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCS Washington-plus, FS Oklahoma

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (15-24): Shooting guard Bradley Beal continues to step up since All-Star point guard John Wall (heel) was ruled out for the remainder of the season and kept Washington in the game on Friday with 33 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. "We could've made some more shots," Beal told reporters. "Definitely down the stretch we missed some easy ones. I think we did enough to win the game. I think effort wise, defensively, rebounding, we did a good job of (limiting their offensive rebounds) as much as possible." Tomas Satoransky is starting at point guard in place of Wall and struggled at Miami with eight points, three assists and a pair of turnovers in 33 minutes.

ABOUT THE THUNDER (25-13): Westbrook managed a triple-double in a win at the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday but was just 3-of-20 from the floor as his jump shot consistency remains at work in progress. The former MVP was better on Friday with 31 points on 13-of-28 shooting and flirted with another triple-double at nine rebounds and seven assists. "He tried to get downhill and he made some really good passes and got some guys some shots," Oklahoma City coach Billy Donovan told reporters of Westbrook. "He got his areas a few times and made some of those shots. I think he did some good things."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Wizards SF Otto Porter Jr. is 1-of-8 from 3-point range in two games since returning from a 10-game absence due to a knee injury.

2. George is averaging 33 points in four games since returning from a quad injury.

3. Oklahoma City earned a 134-111 victory at Washington on Nov. 2 behind 23 points and 12 assists from Westbrook.

PREDICTION: Thunder 126, Wizards 112

Indiana Pacers vs. Toronto Raptors Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NBA Predictions 6th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/06/2019

The Indiana Pacers' last loss came on Dec. 19 at Toronto, and they'll have a chance to avenge that defeat when they carry a six-game winning streak into a matchup with the host Raptors on Sunday. The Pacers began their five-game road trip with a 119-116 overtime triumph at Chicago on Friday, putting them one victory away from their second seven-game winning streak since the start of December.

Victor Oladipo capped a 36-point effort with a 3-pointer in the final second of OT in the win over the Bulls as Indiana improved to 12-7 on the road. "You got to stay calm and make the right play," Oladipo told reporters after matching his best offensive output of the season. "That's what we did down the stretch." The Raptors had four players reach the 20-point mark in Saturday's 123-116 win at Milwaukee to move into a virtual tie atop the Eastern Conference with the Bucks - 1 1/2 games ahead of Indiana. The victory came two nights after an 18-point loss at San Antonio in which Toronto played for the sixth straight time without star guard Kyle Lowry, who remains sidelined with a back issue.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV, FS Indiana, Sportsnet One (Toronto)

ABOUT THE PACERS (26-12): Myles Turner - who recorded 10 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots in the loss to Toronto last month - is questionable for this one due to a shoulder injury. Domantas Sabonis registered 23 points and 12 rebounds at Chicago while making 9-of-13 shots to raise his field-goal percentage to 63.1 - fourth in the league entering Saturday. Oladipo averages 22.7 points on the road, compared to 17.9 at home.

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (29-12): Coach Nick Nurse told reporters before Saturday's game that Kawhi Leonard, who has yet to play both ends of a back-to-back set, might be available against the Pacers one night after scoring 30 points at Milwaukee. However, Leonard played 38 minutes in the win, his highest total since Dec. 19 - leaving some doubt as to whether or not the team will gamble on his health. Forward Pascal Siakam also scored 30 points versus the Bucks and is averaging 22 on 62 percent shooting over a four-game span.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Pacers PF Thaddeus Young is 28-for-41 from the field over his last four games.

2. Raptors PG Fred VanVleet tied his season high with 21 points on Saturday while handing out eight assists with zero turnovers.

3. Toronto has won four straight overall meetings with Indiana and 10 in a row at home.

PREDICTION: Raptors 111, Pacers 110

Charlotte Hornets vs. Phoenix Suns Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NBA Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Charlotte Hornets entered their longest road trip of the season on a sour note and were unable to turn the tide in the opener of the six-game trek against Western Conference teams. They will try to bounce back against the worst team in the West when they visit the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

Three days after an embarrassing 122-84 home loss to Dallas on Wednesday, Charlotte began the trip with a 123-110 setback at West-leading Denver to fall to 4-12 on the road. It will try to improve upon that mark against a Suns team that showed signs of progress with a recent 5-2 surge but has since lost five in a row to begin a season-high seven-game homestand. Opponents are averaging 125 points during the string, and the Los Angeles Clippers had a 55-36 advantage on the glass in Friday's 121-111 win at Phoenix. "After a day of practice, of going over it, we just didn't come out mentally ready," Suns guard Devin Booker told reporters. "Same old problem that we're still looking for the solution for."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Southeast (Charlotte), FS Arizona (Phoenix)

ABOUT THE HORNETS (18-20): A bright spot in Saturday's loss was the 16-point, 12-rebound effort by center Bismack Biyombo, who was making his first start. "I think he gave us great energy, a presence down inside," coach James Borrego told reporters of the veteran big man. "We need that from him every single night." Biyombo has recorded 26 points on 11-of-15 shooting over his last two games after producing a total of 20 over his first 11 contests this season.

ABOUT THE SUNS (9-31): Booker scored 23 points and T.J. Warren added 20 in the loss to the Clippers, but rookie center Deandre Ayton was held to a season low-tying four while attempting just three shots - more than nine below his average. "You know (coach) Larry Brown used to say, 'You need the touches, you go get it,'" coach Igor Kokoskov told reporters of Ayton's quiet outing. "(Three) touches? It's on all of us." Phoenix finishes its homestand against Sacramento on Tuesday before playing 15 of its next 21 on the road, where it owns a 4-15 record.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Hornets G Kemba Walker is averaging 16.5 points - nearly nine below his season mark - on 32.3 percent shooting over his last two games.

2. Booker has scored at least 20 points in each of his 11 contests since returning from a hamstring strain.

3. Charlotte has won three straight meetings.

PREDICTION: Hornets 117, Suns 115

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Ottawa Senators Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NHL Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Carolina Hurricanes need a big surge to climb back into playoff contention and may be building one as they go for a season high-matching fourth straight win Sunday afternoon against the host Ottawa Senators. The Hurricanes swept a home-and-home set with Philadelphia before taking a three-goal lead and holding on for a 4-2 victory over Columbus on Friday.

"We're running out of time to wait for that run," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters. "Every team that's up there we're chasing has done it at some point. If we want to get up there we've got to do it. If you get two, you've got to get three. Get three, you've got to get four." Brind'Amour said he liked his team's performance Friday and the Hurricanes have a chance to extend their winning streak in the series to five games against struggling Ottawa, which has lost seven in a row (0-6-1). The Senators coughed up a pair of leads and dropped a 4-3 decision against Minnesota at home on Saturday afternoon and have not won since Dec. 17 when they edged Nashville 4-3 in overtime. Right wing Mark Stone scored for the fourth time in five games Saturday to reach 20 goals for the fifth straight season and leads Ottawa with 46 points -- 22 in the last 19 contests.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FS Southeast (Carolina), RDS2, TSN5 (Ottawa)

ABOUT THE HURRICANES (18-17-5): Leading scorer Sebastian Aho (43 points) has warmed up with a goal and three assists in the last two games while fellow forward Micheal Ferland snapped an 11-game goal drought Friday. Curtis McElhinney (three goals allowed his last two games) and Petr Mrazek (3-2-0, 11 goals allowed his last five) have been giving Carolina some solid goaltending of late. Veteran center Jordan Staal (upper body), who has been out since Dec. 22, was placed on injured reserve Friday and forward Greg McKegg registered a goal to go along with an assist after being recalled on Friday.

ABOUT THE SENATORS (15-22-5): Center Matt Duchene scored Saturday and is second on the team in both goals (17) and points (41) while left wing Ryan Dzingel recorded three tallies and two assists in his past three contests. Goalie Anders Nilsson, who was acquired from Vancouver recently, made his Ottawa debut Saturday by turning aside 22 of 26 shots, but rookie Marcus Hogberg (0-2-1, .895 save percentage) is expected to start Sunday. Forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who averaged 15 goals the last three seasons, is slated to make his 2018-19 debut Sunday after suffering an Achilles injury at training camp.

OVERTIME

1. Ottawa F Rudolfs Balcers, who was acquired in the Erik Karlsson trade, had one hit in 7:45 of ice time in his NHL debut Saturday.

2. Carolina D Dougie Hamilton has scored in back-to-back games and leads the team with 133 shots.

3. The Hurricanes lead the NHL in shots per game (36.8) and the Senators allow more than anyone in the league (37.3).

New York Rangers vs. Arizona Coyotes Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NHL Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The one constant for the New York Rangers for more than the past decade has been their goaltending, primarily due to the sustained excellence of Henrik Lundqvist since he joined the club in 2005-06. The Rangers are in need of a strong performance from Lundqvist when they continue a three-game road trip Sunday afternoon at the Arizona Coyotes.

Lundqvist was pierced for six goals by Pittsburgh in his first start of the new year and backup Alexandar Georgiev surrendered the same total in Friday's drubbing at Colorado, a game in which the Avalanche had a staggering 10 power plays. "... You have zero chance to win a hockey game that way," New York coach David Quinn told reporters. "I've never been part of a game where you take (10) penalties and have to kill over 20 minutes of penalties in a game." The Coyotes dropped their third game in a row Friday, falling 3-2 in a shootout to New Jersey as their offensive woes continued. "They've worked hard the last two games, I don't care what anybody says. They've tried," coach Rick Tocchet told reporters after Arizona was limited to two goals or fewer for the seventh time in 10 games.

TV: 4 p.m. ET, MSG (New York), FS Arizona

ABOUT THE RANGERS (17-16-7): Center Kevin Hayes, who had a nine-game point streak snapped in a 2-1 victory at St. Louis on New Year's Eve, sat out Friday's loss due to an upper-body injury and was termed day-to-day by Quinn. Hayes scored one goal and set up another in last month's 4-3 overtime loss to the Coyotes, a game in which the Rangers squandered a three-goal lead to end their nine-game winning streak in the series. Although Lundqvist was victimized for four goals in last month's matchup, he has dominated Arizona in 10 career starts, posting an 8-1-1 record and 2.14 goals-against average

ABOUT THE COYOTES (17-21-3): Arizona has dropped 11 of its last 15 (4-10-1) since ripping off four straight wins as November turned into December and Tocchet pointed to a injuries as the main culprit. "When we were healthy we were playing well," Tocchet told reporters. "Obviously this rash of injuries (arrives) and then all of a sudden people get played in different positions and stuff like that. ... You can tell the skill level wasn't there sometimes, so we're just grinding away." Leading scorer Clayton Keller, the team's lone selection for the All-Star Game, is mired in a 16-game goal-scoring drought dating to Dec. 1.

OVERTIME

1. The Rangers have won in their last four visits to Arizona.

2. Ex-Ranger Derek Stepan had a goal and an assist against New York last month, matching his output in his last 10 games.

3. New York is 9-6-3 against the Western Conference this season.

New Jersey Devils vs. Vegas Golden Knights Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NHL Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Vegas Golden Knights have vaulted up the standings in the Pacific Division and will look to run their winning streak to a season-high six games when they host the New Jersey Devils on Sunday afternoon. Not only have the red-hot Golden Knights won five in a row, but they are riding an eight-game point streak (6-0-2) overall and have points in 10 straight at home (8-0-2).

"As the year goes on, you are going to have your surges and a couple times when you're not playing that well, but I thought our guys, even when we're down in the game or we're not playing that well, we find ways to get ourselves back in," Vegas defenseman Nate Schmidt told reporters after Friday's 3-2 win at Anaheim. The Golden Knights are 16-3-3 in their last 22 but one of the losses came after blowing a pair of three-goal leads in a 5-4 overtime loss at New Jersey on Dec. 14. Nico Hischier scored for the fifth time in 11 games for the Devils on Friday, a stretch that started with the overtime game-winner against Vegas. New Jersey has split the first two of a four-game road trip and is 4-1-0 without leading scorer Taylor Hall, who will miss his sixth straight game Sunday.

TV: 4 p.m. ET, Sportsnet, MSG Plus (New Jersey) AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Vegas)

ABOUT THE DEVILS (16-17-7): Goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood made a splashy entrance into the NHL by recording consecutive shutouts in his third and fourth starts, but he exited Friday's game at Arizona due to a lower-body injury and did not practice Saturday for what the team termed precautionary reasons. Keith Kinkaid stopped both attempts in the shootout Friday after replacing Blackwood and also turned aside 14 of 15 shots in relief in last month's win over the Golden Knights. Blake Coleman registered a season-high eight shots on net and notched the tying goal Friday, leaving him one shy of his career high of 13.

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (25-15-4): Max Pacioretty had plenty to celebrate in his return to the lineup Friday, scoring the game-winning goal on the same night that his wife gave birth to the couple's son. With Pacioretty back with the team, Vegas surprisingly demoted forward Brandon Pirri, who was spectacular in the seven games since he was recalled from the minors, amassing six goals and three assists. "We're thrilled with Brandon's play," assistant general manager Kelly McCrimmon told reporters. "He's improved, he's made a great impression and he'll be back with our team. I think it's important that our fans understand that."

OVERTIME

1. Golden Knights F William Karlsson has two goals and two assists in 10 games since scoring twice at New Jersey last month.

2. Coleman and fellow Devils F Travis Zajac each have two goals and an assist in three games versus Vegas.

3. Golden Knights G Marc-Andre Fleury has allowed 11 goals in three starts versus the Devils since joining Vegas.

Dallas Stars vs. Winnipeg Jets Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NHL Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Winnipeg Jets have hit a rough patch in their schedule, and now injury concerns are mounting entering Sunday's home matchup with the Dallas Stars. Already missing defenseman Dustin Byduglien to an ankle injury, forward Nikolaj Ehlers suffered a shoulder injury in Friday's loss at Pittsburgh that will sideline him for at least a month.

"Every team is going to lose key guys," Jets head coach Paul Maurice told reporters Saturday, the day after his club lost for the third time in four games. "We may look a little bit different because of it, but it doesn't change what you'd like to think you're capable of doing." Dallas has won four of its past five following Friday's 2-1 victory over Washington, getting two goals from forward Tyler Seguin -- including the game-winning marker in overtime. "We've just got to keep harping on the details we believe in, keep harping on the process," Stars first-year head coach Jim Montgomery told the media afterward. "The second and third periods weren't good enough. We were lucky." The Stars come into Sunday in third place in the Central Division with 48 points, four points behind Winnipeg.

TV: 5 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Dallas), TSN3 (Winnipeg)

ABOUT THE STARS (22-16-4): Seguin extended his point streak to four games (four goals, two assists) to help Dallas improve to 4-0-1 in its past five contests. Anton Khudobin stopped 36 shots against Washington and has allowed just one goal on 86 shots in back-to-back victories. Sunday starts a three-game road swing for the Stars, who are 8-11-2 away from home.

ABOUT THE JETS (25-13-2): Winnipeg's high-powered offense has been limited to one goal or less in five of its past seven games. Forward Blake Wheeler ranks third in the NHL in assists with 44, while forward Patrik Laine is tied for seventh in the league with 24 goals. Connor Hellebuyck has lost three of his past four outings, giving up 11 goals in that span.

OVERTIME

1. Ehlers had scored 10 goals in 16 game (including two hat tricks) before getting injured.

2. Dallas F Jamie Benn did not play Friday due to an upper-body injury, but is expected to return to the lineup Sunday.

3. Jets C Mark Scheifele is pointless in his past four games, after not going more than two games without a point this season.

Washington Capitals vs. Detroit Red Wings Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NHL Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Washington Capitals look to match their effort in the final 40 minutes of regulation last time out and snap a three-game losing streak when they visit the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. The Capitals outshot Dallas 29-10 in the final two periods before dropping a 2-1 road decision in overtime Friday after surrendering 11 goals combined in setbacks against Nashville and St. Louis.

"The message from me was that if we play a second and third period like that, then we're going to win a lot of games," Washington coach Todd Reirden told reporters. "That's the lowest shot total (two) we've held an opponent to in a third period. ... It's a shame we only leave with one point." The Capitals have earned at least a point in 10 straight games (8-0-2) in the series after recording a pair victories this season against the Red Wings, who snapped a six-game losing streak Friday with a 4-3 overtime triumph against Nashville. Detroit, which was 1-7-3 in their previous 11 contests, rallied from a two-goal deficit but gave up a late third-period goal for a tie before leading scorer Dylan Larkin recorded the winner in the extra session. "You keep getting kicked and life is always about getting back up," Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill told the Detroit Free Press. "Our guys have continued to get back up. We've got a big game ahead of us on Sunday. But we've been able to do a good job of keeping our focus on getting better, individually and collectively as a group."

TV: 5 p.m. ET, NHL Network, NBCS Washington, FS Detroit

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (24-12-4): Washington has dropped to 10th in the league on the power play (22.1 percent) entering the weekend after converting just one of 27 attempts over the last nine contests. Captain Alex Ovechkin, who leads the league with 30 goals and the team with 46 points, has been part of the problem with just one tally in his last eight contests while veteran center Nicklas Backstrom (44 points) has just four assists during the same stretch. Center Evgeny Kuznetsov has also cooled off after a hot start to the season, managing two points in the past six games.

ABOUT THE RED WINGS (16-20-7): Veteran forward Thomas Vanek scored his 364th career goal - seventh of the season - in his 1,000th NHL game Friday with plenty of family and friends in attendance. "I was a kid in Austria dreaming about playing one game in the NHL, and now I've got a thousand, I get a goal and we win," Vanek told the media. " ... It was perfect." Larkin (40 points) also tops the team in goals (18) and notched at least one point in 15 of his last 16 contests while fellow forward Andreas Athanasiou has registered four of his 15 tallies in the last five games.

OVERTIME

1. Detroit RW Anthony Mantha (hand) had three shots and two hits in his return to the lineup Friday after missing 15 games.

2. Washington G Braden Holtby, who allowed 11 goals in his last two games, is 11-2-2 with a .926 save percentage all time versus Detroit.

3. The Red Wings have had power-play problems of their own, going just 1 of 17 in the past seven contests.

Edmonton Oilers vs. Anaheim Ducks Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NHL Predictions 6th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/06/2019

The Anaheim Ducks are in the midst of their second seven-game losing streak of the season, but help may be on the way. Rickard Rakell and defenseman Cam Fowler could return from lengthy absences when the Ducks continue their six-game homestand Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers.

Rakell, who led Anaheim in goals (34) and points (69) last season, has missed 12 games with a sprained ankle while Fowler has been sidelined for 23 contests due to facial fractures. The Ducks are 0-1-2 on their stretch at Honda Center - and 0-5-2 on their skid - after dropping a 3-2 decision to Vegas on Friday. Edmonton ended a six-game slide that included five straight at home when it began its four-game road trip with a 3-1 triumph at Arizona on Wednesday, but the relief didn't last as it was blanked 4-0 in Los Angeles three nights later. The Oilers registered only 16 shots as they were shut out for the second time this season.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, Sportsnet, Sportsnet360 (Edmonton), Prime Ticket (Anaheim)

ABOUT THE OILERS (19-19-3): Alex Chiasson was back in action for Edmonton on Saturday after missing three games with a knee injury and delivered two hits in 17 minutes, 22 seconds of ice time. The 28-year-old right wing has scored a career-high 16 goals this season - his fourth in a row with a new team. Defenseman Kris Russell was held out of his 10th straight contest on Saturday due to a groin injury but could be ready to return against the Ducks.

ABOUT THE DUCKS (19-16-7): Ryan Getzlaf leads the team with 29 points despite being kept off the scoresheet in each of his last six games. The 33-year-old captain also has gone seven contests without a goal as he is one away from having reached double digits in each of his 14 NHL seasons. Pontus Aberg is tied for first on the club with 11 goals but has scored just once in his last 10 games.

OVERTIME

1. Anaheim's Hampus Lindholm needs one assist to break a tie with Chris Pronger (114) for fifth place on the franchise list among defensemen.

2. Edmonton captain C Connor McDavid, who leads the team with 61 points, had his streak of five consecutive games with multiple points halted on Saturday.

3. Ducks general manager Bob Murray will become the fifth person in NHL history with 1,000 games as both a player and a GM on Sunday, joining Bobby Clarke, Bob Gainey, Bob Pulford and Doug Wilson.

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Preview and Predictions 2019-01-06

NHL Predictions 5th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/05/2019

The Pittsburgh Penguins were having trouble buying a win just over a month into the season and were looking nothing like the team that had hoisted the Stanley Cup twice in the previous three seasons. That seems like a distant memory for the white-hot Penguins, who are seeking their ninth consecutive victory when they host the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night.

Pittsburgh matched its longest winning streak since a 15-game run in March 2013 with a 4-0 drubbing of Central Division-leading Winnipeg on Friday night. "If you go through a season and you don't face a lot of adversity you're inevitably going to face it in the playoffs," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan told reporters. "The adversity this team has faced early in the season has made us a better team." The Blackhawks had been on a roll with wins in five of six games before dropping a 4-2 decision to Boston in the Winter Classic and falling to the New York Islanders 3-2 in overtime despite 47 saves from rookie Collin Delia. All-Star Patrick Kane scored against the Islanders to give him eight goals in his last seven games.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (15-21-7): Delia has yet to lose in regulation in four career starts (3-0-1), helping to offset the absence of top netminder Corey Crawford, but he is not the only rookie making an impact for Chicago. Czech forward Dominik Kahun bounced back from a nine-game goal drought by scoring in back-to-back contests while playing on a line with captain Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad. "Hard work gets paid off," Kahun told the Chicago Sun-Times. "That's what I've done since I was little. I never got something given to me. I always had to do it myself. I try to work as hard as possible, and it's coming."

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (23-12-6): Goaltender Matt Murray staggered through the first six weeks of the season, permitting at least four goals in seven of his first 10 starts, but he has elevated his game since missing nearly a month due to injury. In seven starts since returning to the lineup on Dec. 15, Murray has been magnificent with a 7-0-0 record, including a pair of shutouts, along with a 1.27 goals-against average and .962 save percentage. "From that standpoint I think he's in a whole different place than he was mentally earlier in the year when it was a struggle not just for Matt but all of us," Sullivan told reporters.

OVERTIME

1. Pittsburgh will honor members of its 2009 Stanley Cup championship team in a pregame ceremony on Sunday night.

2. Chicago F Drake Caggiula, recently acquired from Edmonton, joined the team for his first practice Saturday after resolving his visa issues.

3. Penguins captain C Sidney Crosby and D Kris Letang are each riding six-game point streaks.

Lamar Jackson and Baltimore held on for a Week 17 win over Cleveland to claim the AFC North and punch their playoff ticket. The Ravens opened -2.5 for a Sunday home game against the Chargers.

After a wild 17 weeks of regular-season play, it’s time to look ahead to wild-card weekend in the NFL. We check in on the opening lines and early action for next weekend’s four playoff games, with insights from Derek Wilkinson, supervisor at The SuperBook at Westgate in Las Vegas.

Los Angeles Chargers at Baltimore Ravens (-2.5)

Los Angeles tied for the best record in the AFC, yet is the No. 5 seed and on the road to open the postseason. The Chargers (12-4 SU, 9-7 ATS), who lost a tiebreaker to Kansas City for the AFC West title, finished the regular season with a 23-9 victory at Denver as 7-point favorites.

Baltimore won six of its last seven games to overtake Pittsburgh and win the AFC North, earning the No. 4 seed in the process. The Ravens (10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS) had to win Sunday to reach the playoffs and got a huge scare, thwarting a Cleveland rally to win 26-24 as 7-point home faves.

“This is a situation where we like the ‘dog,” Wilkinson said. “We initially discussed having the game as a pick or even favoring the Chargers by a point, but the other markets like the Ravens. I think this line will drop quickly and could even favor the Chargers by game day.”

Kickoff is at 1:05 p.m. ET Sunday.

NFC – Philadelphia at Chicago – 4:40 p.m. (NBC)

Opening Line (12/30/18): Chicago -5 ½, 42

Philadelphia Road Record: 4-4 SU, 4-4 ATS
Chicago Home Record: 7-1 SU, 7-1 ATS

Head-to-Head: The Eagles and Bears didn't match up this season, but Philadelphia destroyed Chicago in 2017 at Lincoln Financial Field, 31-3. Chicago has lost three consecutive meetings with Philadelphia since 2013, while these clubs last dueled in the playoffs back in 2001. The Eagles cruised past the Bears at Soldier Field, 33-19 to advance to the NFC Championship.

Playoff Notes: Chicago finished at the bottom of the NFC North in the previous four seasons prior to capturing the division title in 2018. The Bears last reached the playoffs in 2010 when they advanced to the NFC Championship before falling to the rival Packers. Chicago last participated in the Wild Card round back in 1994 when it routed Minnesota, as the Bears own a 4-5 record in the playoffs the last 25 seasons.

The Eagles picked up their first Super Bowl title last season by knocking off the Patriots, while winning all three games as an underdog. Philadelphia has lost in past three opportunities in the Wild Card round since 2009, while last playing a road playoff game in 2009 against Dallas in a 34-14 defeat.

Total Notes: The Eagles posted a 9-7 mark to the 'under,' while going 5-3 to the 'over' away from Lincoln Financial Field. During last season's Super Bowl run, Philadelphia cashed the 'over' in two of three victories.

Chicago closed the season with four consecutive 'unders,' as the Bears limited those four opponents to 17 points or less in each contest. The total was a toss-up at Soldier Field as the Bears went 4-4 to the 'over,' but Chicago allowed 22 points or less in seven of eight home games.

AFC – L.A. Chargers at Baltimore – 1:00 p.m. (CBS)

Opening Line (12/30/18): Baltimore -3, 41 ½

L.A. Chargers Road Record: 7-1 SU, 7-1 ATS
Baltimore Home Record: 6-2 SU, 3-5 ATS

Head-to-Head: The Ravens defeated the Chargers 22-10 in Week 16 as four-point road underdogs in a primetime game played on a Saturday from Los Angeles. Prior to this encounter, the pair split two regular season games from Baltimore in 2014 and 2015 and the outcomes were decided by a combined four points (29-26, 34-33).

Playoff Notes: The Chargers haven’t been in the playoffs since the 2013 regular season. They went 1-1 in the playoffs, winning the Wild Card game at the Bengals before losing to the Broncos in the Divisional Playoff round. QB Philip Rivers is 4-5 all-time in the playoffs but make a note that Los Angeles is 3-0 in Wild Card games.

This will be the first trip to the playoffs for Baltimore since the 2014 regular season. The Ravens went 1-1 SU and 2-0 ATS in that postseason. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh owns a 10-5 SU and 11-4 ATS all-time playoff record and what’s really impressive is that only two of those games were at home, both victories.

Total Notes: The Chargers saw their total results split evenly (8-8) this season but they had a 5-3 ‘over’ lean on the road. Los Angeles averaged slightly more points on the road (26.9 PPG) this season than at home (26.6 PPG). The Bolts made three trips to the Eastern Time Zone this season and scored 31, 36 and 33 points. Along with winning each game, the ‘over’ connected in all three as well.

Baltimore watched the ‘under’ go 9-7 this season which included a 4-4 total record from M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens defense (17.9 PPG) is ranked second in scoring and including the first meeting with the Chargers, they only allowed 17 PPG in four games versus the AFC West this season.

L.A. Chargers at Baltimore (CBS, 1:05 p.m. ET)

The Ravens defeated the Chargers 22-10 in Week 16 as four-point road underdogs in a primetime game played on a Saturday from Los Angeles and the ‘under’ (42 ½) cashed easily. And if it wasn’t for a pair of 60-plus yard touchdowns by Baltimore, one from its defense, the final score would’ve been much lower.

Bookmaker (http://www.bookmaker.eu/?cmpid=4437) opened the rematch (41 ½) a tad lower and its been pushed down to 41 but most other shops are still holding 41 ½ as of Thursday.

While Baltimore was fortunate to connect on two big plays in the first meeting, it clearly dominated the game in yardage (361-198) and it won the turnover battle (3-1) as well with the last mistake putting the game away in the fourth quarter. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was sacked four times, picked off twice and only completed 23-of-37 attempts for 181 yards.

Outside of the long touchdown pass, Ravens rookie QB Lamar Jackson wasn’t sharp from the pocket (12-of-22) but he contributed with 39 of Baltimore’s 159 rushing yards. Since Jackson took over for Joe Flacco as the starting QB in Week 11, the Ravens are averaging 229 yards per game on the ground and the team is averaging 25.1 points per game. That production has led to a 4-3 ‘over’ mark and the Ravens defense (17.9) has done its best to keep those ‘under’ tickets cashing.

After losing at home to Baltimore, the Chargers finished the season with a lackluster 23-9 win at Denver and Rivers was far from sharp. He was picked off twice and only completed 14-of-24 (58%) of his passes against a Broncos secondary that featured more backups than starters. Rivers closed the season with two interceptions in each of his final three games. Which Rivers will show up on Sunday? I wish I knew but how you answer that question will obviously play heavily into your wager.

Make a note that Los Angeles was tied with New Orleans with the best road mark in the NFL this season at 7-1 and it’s arguably 8-1 since it beat Tennessee from London in Week 7. Including that results, the ‘over’ went 5-4 in games outside of L.A. for the club and they did score more on the road (26.9 PPG).

Some pundits believe that travel could play a factor for L.A. and it’s certainly not an easy trip. However, the Chargers went 3-0 in three games played in the Eastern Time Zone this season (Bills, Browns, Steelers) and they averaged 34 PPG in those wins. The ‘over’ went 3-0.

Prior to the recent encounter on Dec. 22, the pair split two regular season games from Baltimore in 2014 and 2015 and the outcomes were decided by a combined four points (29-26, 34-33).

As mentioned above, both clubs haven’t been in the playoffs in a few years but Baltimore’s 10-5 SU and 11-4 ATS postseason record under head coach John Harbaugh is very impressive and only two of those games were at home. The totals were a wash (7-7-1) in those contests but in the lone pair from Maryland, the ‘under’ cashed easily in both as the Ravens allowed 11 PPG in the victories.

The Chargers have gone 4-5 in the playoffs under Rivers but he’s 3-0 in the Wild Card round and the ‘under’ has gone 3-0 in those games.

Fearless Prediction: While the Chargers have put up some crooked numbers on the road, this Ravens defense is legit and I can see them making a run similar to what San Francisco did in 2012 when they handed the ball over from veteran QB Alex Smith to the upstart Colin Kaepernick. Coincidentally, that team was run by Harbaugh’s brother Jim. For those that put stock into playoff trends, make a note that the first game (1:05 p.m. ET) on Sunday in the Wild Card round has watched the ‘under’ cash the last eight years. I’m going to ride the Under (41 ½) for the game and expect another grinder, this time on the East Coast.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Philadelphia at Chicago (FOX, 4:40 p.m. ET)

Of the four Wild Card matchups, this one is expected to be the most lopsided with the Bears listed as six-point favorites over the Eagles. The total (41) could likely be the lowest as well and as of Thursday evening, the number has held steady since it opened.

The best unit on the field will be the Bears defense, which is ranked first in scoring (17.7 PPG) and third in total yards (299.7) allowed. The group also led the league with 36 turnovers, which included a league-high 27 interceptions and nine fumbles. They were tied for third in sacks (50) and all of that production led to six defensive touchdowns.

Despite that domination, the Bears saw their total results (8-8) break even this season but it did close the season with four straight winning tickets to the ‘under’ and both the defense (10.5 PPG) and lack of offense (19.3 PPG) helped that cause.

Chicago’s offense remains a mystery but I believe what we’ve seen in the last quarter is what the unit is and not the one that posted 28.6 PPG in its first 12 games. The benefit of extra possessions and great field position from the defense helped the offense a lot and the numbers prove that. The unit was ranked 21st in total offense (343.9 YPG) yet they managed to convert well on third downs and in the red zone, which led to plenty of points. Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky isn’t going to dice up any secondary but he’s efficient and makes a lot happen with his legs.

The Eagles defense (23 PPG) hasn’t been as strong on the road and the ‘over’ went 5-3 in those games, with one of the ‘under’ tickets taking place from London in a 24-18 win over Jacksonville in Week 8. The unit did shutout the short-handed Redskins 24-0 last Sunday in D.C. but they allowed 33.3 PPG in their three previous away games, all coming to playoff teams too (Saints, Cowboys, Rams).

The X-factor for this total and the game comes down to Eagles QB Nick Foles, who’s up to his old tricks again. Since taking over for the injured Carson Wentz in Week 15, the Birds closed the season with three straight wins and the offense posted 28.6 PPG in the wins. As a starter in second stop for Philadelphia, Foles has gone 9-2 and that includes a 3-0 playoff mark last year.

Are we going to witness another Foles run this January? The ‘over’ went 2-1 for the Eagles in last year’s championship push and he was fortunate to have the Birds defense step up at home (8.5 PPG) against the Falcons and Vikings. In the Super Bowl, he played outplayed QB Tom Brady and the Patriots for the 41-33 win.

Fearless Prediction: The ‘under’ on this game is the most popular total wager of the weekend and it’s hard to argue against it based on the form for the Bears. They enter this game on a 4-0 ‘under’ run and they’ve also covered all four of those games too. My lean on the side is to Philadelphia and when the Bears lose, only four times, they’ve allowed 30.1 PPG and the ‘over’ went 4-0. My lean for the late game is Over (41) and the Eagles Team Total Over (17 ½) as well.

Sunday's Big 10 Tip Sheet
David Schwab

There were seven Big Ten teams ranked in the AP’s Top 25 heading into the New Year and five of those programs will be in action on this Sunday’s college basketball betting board. No. 21 Indiana gets things started on the road against No. 2 Michigan at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Later that afternoon, No. 24 Nebraska takes on No. 25 Iowa in Iowa City and the lone night game on the slate pits No. 22 Wisconsin on the road against Penn State in Happy Valley.

No. 21 Indiana Hoosiers at No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (CBS, 4:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Michigan -8, Total 131 ½

Betting Matchup

Indiana has won its last seven games straight-up including a 3-0 record against the Big Ten. The Hoosiers went 4-3 against the spread during this same span after failing to cover in Thursday’s 73-65 victory against Illinois as 11-point home favorites. The total stayed UNDER 142 points in that game and it has stayed UNDER in seven of their last eight games behind a defense that is giving up 64.1 points per game.

The Wolverines come into this game with a perfect SU record of 14-0. However, Thursday’s 68-55 romp over Penn State as 11-point home favorites was the first time they covered in their last six games. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their last their last eight contests. Freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis posted a double-double in Thursday’s win with 16 points and 11 rebounds. He has exceeded his team-high 16.4-point scoring average in three of his last five starts.

Betting Trends

-- The Hoosiers are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 conference games and the total has stayed UNDER in 10 of their last 11 games played on Sunday.

-- The road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in 11 of the last 16 meetings in Michigan.


No. 24 Nebraska Cornhuskers at No. 25 Iowa Hawkeyes (Big Ten, 5:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Nebraska -3 ½, Total 149 ½

Betting Matchup

The Cornhuskers’ four-game winning streak came to an end with Wednesday’s tight 74-72 loss to Maryland, but they still managed to cover as 2 ½-point underdogs on the road. They are 2-1 SU and ATS in the Big Ten with a previous victory against Illinois at home and a loss to Minnesota on the road. Nebraska is averaging 79.6 PPH behind senior guard James Palmer’s 20.1-point scoring average. The Cornhuskers are only allowing 59 points a game at the other end of the court.

Iowa is also coming off a loss with Thursday’s 86-70 setback against Purdue as a 9 ½-point road underdog. It is 0-3 (SU and ATS) in the conference following previous losses to Wisconsin at home and Michigan State on the road. The Hawkeyes are 11-3 SU with a 5-9 record ATS. Junior forward Tyler Cook scored 24 points while going 9-of-16 from the field in Thursday’s loss. He has scored at least 16 points in each of his last six starts.

Betting Trends

-- The Cornhuskers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games and the total has stayed UNDER in six of their last seven games coming off a SU loss.

-- The Hawkeyes have failed to cover in five of their last seven games following a SU loss and the total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in 16 of their last 21 conference games.

-- The favorite has covered the spread in five of the last six meetings and the total has gone OVER in five of the last six matchups in Iowa.


No. 22 Wisconsin Badgers at Penn State Nittany Lions (Big Ten, 7:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Wisconsin -2, Total 130

Betting Matchup

Wisconsin should fall out of the rankings this upcoming week following its 59-52 loss to Minnesota on Thursday as a nine-point home favorite. This followed a road loss to Western Kentucky on Dec. 29 as a 6 ½-point favorite. The Badgers are 10-4 SU with an even 7-7 record ATS. The total has gone OVER in nine of those games. Senior guard Ethan Happ scored 17 points in the loss to Minnesota as the team’s leading scorer this season (19.1 points).

With that lopsided loss to Michigan, the Nittany Lions fell to 7-7 SU and 5-9 ATS on the year. The total stayed UNDER 128 points in the 13-point loss and it has stayed UNDER in nine of their 14 games overall. To make matters worse, head coach Patrick Chambers will be suspended for Sunday after an altercation with freshman guard Myles Dread in that last game.

Betting Trends

-- The Badgers have covered in nine of their last 11 road games and the total has stayed UNDER in four of their last five games on the road.

-- The Nittany Lions are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games against a team with a SU winning record and the total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last eight home games against a SU winning team.

-- Penn State has covered in five of its last seven home games against Wisconsin and the total has stayed UNDER in 17 of the last 25 meetings overall.

#8 DAVEY'S BOY (ML=4/1)
#1 BROTHERCICCIO (ML=9/2)


DAVEY'S BOY - Searching through the data for this race, I noted right away this equine's last effort was more than meets the eye. Showed good early zip, fell back, and then ran evenly. BROTHERCICCIO - This racer coming off a sharp effort in the last thirty days is a serious competitor in my book. Faces state bred foes today after finishing fifth versus 'open' company on Dec 6th. Horse made up some ground in the stretch in the last race on December 6th at Golden Gate Fields. That affair is better than it looked.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 DOUBLE TIGER (ML=2/1), #7 JOURNEY CAKE (ML=5/1), #3 IN CAHOOTS (ML=6/1),

DOUBLE TIGER - Somewhat easily forgotten speed figure last time out at Golden Gate Fields at 5 1/2 furlongs. Don't think this runner will improve too much in today's race. JOURNEY CAKE - The speed rating last time out doesn't fit very well in this event when I look at the class figure of today's race. Mark this horse as a possibly overvalued contestant. IN CAHOOTS - His sire, Tizbud, has a winning percentage of 4 with 1st time starters. Not exactly the best.

# 8 ONE SPECIAL DYNASTY 6/1

# 6 I AINT CALLIN 3/1

# 2 FIERCE HAWK 7/2

ONE SPECIAL DYNASTY looks very strong to best this field. Has the looks of a money-making play. The average Equibase class rating of 79 makes this entrant tough to beat. Has performed solidly as of late in short races, posting a nifty 79 avg Equibase Speed Fig. I AINT CALLIN - Formidable average Speed Figures in short races make this equine a contender. Wagerers ought to take a good look at this one as this gelding has one of the best win percentages at this distance in this group. FIERCE HAWK - Could best this group of horses based on the Equibase Speed Fig - 81 - of his last outing. Horses who have been prepared to race at this distance and surface by Ibarra have shown solid results recently.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#1 AYACARA (GB) (ML=4/1)
#6 ORIGINAL INTENT (ML=7/2)


AYACARA (GB) - Gelding's last work was second fastest of the day for the distance. Didn't do well last time out, but I do see two starts back when racing on the dirt, a whole different horse. Speed rating of 96 should put this one in the money. The rider/conditioner twosome of Maldonado and Cerin has a strong ROI together. Gelding will add blinkers to the equipment package today. That often leads to an improved performance. This gelding is utmost in earnings per race. Take a good look at this thoroughbred in the paddock. ORIGINAL INTENT - This gelding should give a strong showing of himself in today's event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 TYPHOON HARRY (ML=5/1), #10 GRYFFINDOR (ML=8/1), #2 SPIRIT MISSION (ML=8/1),

TYPHOON HARRY - This gelding hasn't been showing me anything in the last two races. GRYFFINDOR - When scrutinizing today's Equibase class figure, he will have to notch a much better speed figure than last out to be competitive in this dirt route. SPIRIT MISSION - Tough to like the downward flow (90/82/74) of speed figures. When examining today's Equibase class figure, he will have to record a much better speed rating than in the last race to be competitive in this dirt route.

# 2 LS POWER 7/2

# 5 WILLY NELSON 6/1

# 10 STEL A SECRET 3/1

LS POWER is my choice. Ran a sharp last race. WILLY NELSON - Fales has shown excellent profits (+4 return on investment ) with horses in short events. Had one of the most favorable speed figs of this group in his last contest. STEL A SECRET - She has to be given a chance given the quite good speed figures. Has quite good Equibase Class Figures relative to this group of animals - worth a look.
