Toronto +8½ over DALLAS Pinnacle
The Mavericks stock was incredibly low after two absolutely putrid games to open the season. Dallas was embarrassed by Miami on opening day and followed that up with an even worse 22-point loss against Denver. With a 0-2 record and looking lost out there, the Mavericks traveled to Oklahoma City last night where nobody gave them much of a chance. As a 6½-point pooch, Dallas lost by two points on a buzzer beater trey by Kevin Durant. Dallas played well, they covered and although they’re 0-3, some credibility is restored. Meanwhile, the Raptors have a following in Canada and other than that, they’re a tiny dot on the NBA map. In other words, when you wager against the Raps, you’re going to pay a little extra to do so and that’s precisely the case here. The Raps have two games under their belt and still no credibility, as they beat Cleveland (big deal) and lost at home to Indiana just like they were expected to. That said, they’re a bit better than most realize. They have a deep and competent bench, they’re actually playing some strong defense and they have direction for the first time in years under new coach Dwayne Casey. Casey, an assistant with the Mavericks the last three seasons, knows this enemy well and should have his undervalued squad well prepped to compete. Possible upset. Play: Toronto +8½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
New Jersey +11½ over ATLANTA Pinnacle
Wagering at the beginning of the year provides many good opportunities and this one qualifies. The Hawks are 2-0 after blowing out New Jersey by 26 in the opener and followed that one with an 18-point win over Washington. They barely broke a sweat in either game and now this complacent club may figure all they have to do is show up. Atlanta is grossly overvalued here based on two games. The Hawks won 44 games and made the second round of the playoffs last season but that can be misleading. They gave up more points than they scored in the regular season, went 10-17 after the All-Star break, lost one of the top sixth men in free agency (without replacing him) and they’ll be without Kirk Hinrich for nearly half the season. Atlanta's bench looms as a major weakness. The Nets are the hardest team to project because of all the potential wild cards. While Kris Humphries finally signed, they still have a ton of cap room and might sign Andrei Kirilenko. For now, the Nets are a mishmash. Star guard Deron Williams has been playing in real games since October and should be in tip-top shape and Brook Lopez can be productive as a secondary offensive weapon in the middle. That's a solid offensive foundation and certainly one that should improve on last season's 27th-place standing in offensive efficiency. They should be respectable all year but two bad losses in succession combined with two easy wins by Atlanta allow us to take back a bunch of extra points here. Play: New Jersey +11½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
Rutgers has 20 TO’s last seven games. All special teams strongly in favor of Cyclones. Scarlet Knights yield huge yardage on the ground. ISU’s CB Johnson is a pure shutdown corner and takes away Knights most prolific OFF weapon in WR Sanu. This is the best play on the entire Bowl schedule and the NCAAF play of the year.
