WUNDERDOG
NBA 25-15 Season-to-Date +$1490
Game: Atlanta at Indiana (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 183 -110

The Pacers were overmatched vs. a talented Miami team and allowed the Heat to burn them for 188, but all others have failed to reach the century mark. The Pacers have been perfect at 3-0 at home allowing just 80ppg. Atlanta is never in a hurry and a pair of overtime games has built the total points in their games. They have piled up the points on the road vs. the weaker teams but, as usual, have struggled to scor(R in their last 38 in this situation, while the Hawks slowed down on the road vs. the better teams at 5-0 to the UNDER vs a winning team. Play on the UNDER.

Sports Wagers

MARQUETTE -13½ over St. John's Pinnacle
The Johnny's are a respectable 8-7 overall and 2-2 in the conference but against quality teams, they virtually have no shot. The Golden Eagles shot out of the gate with a 10-0 record and everyone took notice. The Red Storm has played five ranked teams so far and they're 0-5 in those games. Three of those were at home. In their two road games against ranked teams they lost by 22 and 14 points respectively. St. John's is a team that shoots a lot of low percentage shots with a lot or poor shooters taking them. They rank 203rd in the country in points per game and that's after playing at least eight cuopcakes, William & Mary, Lehigh, UMBC, St. Francis, Northeastern, Detroit, Fordham and Texas Pan Am. Now the Johnny's have the unenviable task of playing in Marquette after the Golden Eagles lost two on the road against #9 Georgetown and #1 Syracuse. Marquette opened the year 10-0. They won in Wisconsin and they've blown out every weak team they've played at the Bradley Center. The Red Storm are another weak team that is the Eagles next victim. Play: #744 Marquette -13½ (Risking 2.02 units to win 2).

We're also playing the following games:
Buffalo +7 over OHIO Pinnacle
Play:#747 Buffalo +7 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
-----------------------------------------------------
TENNESSEE ST. -5½ over Moreland State Pinnacle
Play: #808 Tennessee St -5½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

New Jersey +12½ over DENVER Pinnacle
The Nets won their opener but have lost eight of nine since and thus, their stock is extremely low. We're always in the market to buy low and it appears as though the Nets are being offered an inflated price here. The Nets are a lot moire competitive than they're getting credit for. Four of their starting five are capable of putting up 15-20 points a night. Deron Williams is one of the best PG's in the league and cn get them the ball. He's coming off a 15-point, 14 assist game against Atlanta. The Nuggets are 6-4 and they have a lot of upside. For instance, Andre Miller, Rudy Fernandez, Corey Brewer, Al Harrington and Chris Andersen are Denver's second five. Another reason to expect Denver to do exceptionally well at home is that the combination of altitude and pace is going to wreak havoc on exhausted teams sucking wind in the Mile High altitude. They have no stars but they have plenty of depth. Still, with the Heat on deck and more focus on them, this is certainly a game the Nuggets could overlook. In terms of situational plays, this one sets up nicely for an easily overlooked guest. Play: New Jersey +12½ (Risking 2.12 units to win 2).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sacramento +4½/+165 over TORONTO Pinnacle
As an exhausted team playing its fifth game in six days, the Raptors went into Washington last night and lost by 15. It was the Wizards first win of the year. Toronto has now lost three of its last four games by 12 or more, including a 12-point home loss to the Nets. Now the Raps will play its third game in three days and its sixth game since last Wednesday. To make matters worse, it's also the third time in three days that they'll travel to its next destination. For elite teams, this would be a difficult assignment but for a team that was projected to win between 15-18 games, it's a daunting one at best. The Kings were whacked in Philly last night. They're 0-4 on the road with its closest margin of defeat being 17 points. At some point, Sacramento is going to put forth a solid road effort because they're better than recent form indicates. This is a great opportunity to do exactly that against a Raptors team that is subpar under the best of circumstances. Kings take this one outright. Play: Sacramento +165 (Risking 1 unit).
-------------------------------------------------------------
Washington +13 over CHICAGO Pinnacle
The Bulls will be playing this one under the most difficult of situations that we've seen in a long, long time. Consider that Chicago will be playing its sixth game in the span of seven days. They played in Minnesota last night and after building a 24-point lead they found the game tied with less than two minutes left in the third quarter. They eventually won by 11 but they used up lots of energy to get there. The Bulls will also be playing the tail end of three games in three days and they traveled in all three. In fact, the Bulls have traveled six times since last Wednesday. Incredible. The Wizards finally got into the win column last night after opening the year 0-8. One win does wonders to a team's psyche and while we're not going to try and make a case for the Wizards, we are taking a strong position on the situation, which is nearly an impossible one for the Bulls. Chicago also has the Celtics on deck Friday night. Wizards could actually pull off the upset here. Play: Washington +13 (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).

New Jersey +101 over EDMONTON Pinnacle
Perhaps the Devils 6-3 loss in Calgary last night was the best thing that could've happened in terms of us getting a sweet price on them today. Fact is, that loss last night was one of the most misleading scores of the year. The Flames scored six goals on 14 shots and had Marty Brodeur not been pulled earlier, Johan Hedberg would have been pulled. The Devils were swarming all game Hedberg commented afterwards on how he was awful and cost his team the game. He'll get a chance to redeem himself here, as he's the confirmed starter. New Jersey rarely loses two in a row. It's only happened four times this season and as long as Hedberg holds his own, they won't lose to this vastly inferior team, especially after getting smoked 6-3 but one inferior team yesterday. Play: New Jersey +101 (Risking 2 units).
