BONES BEST BET

NHL
Penguins / Jets OVER 5.5 -120 *1 Unit*
Penguins PL -1.5 +205 *0.75 Units*
The last game these two teams played was 4-2, and believe it not that is a low scoring game between these two teams. Pittsburgh can put up an 8 spot on Winnipeg, and have, twice last year. Which is obviously why we like the PIT PL as well. If you put up an 8 spot, you are definitely winning by 2.

Blues / Flames UNDER 5.5 -115 *1 Unit*
The under is us looking at the history between these two teams. It is 17-3-2 in the last 22 meetings in Calgary, and 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in general.

Sharks / Blackhawks UNDER 5.5 -125 *1 Unit*
These two teams are 17-8 to the under this season, while the under is 6-0 in Chicago's last 6 home games.

Blues ML -118 *1 unit*
Canucks ML + Blues ML + Blackhawks +0.5 (REG) +303 *0.75 Units*
The Canucks have taken 6 of the last 7 against the Stars in Vancouver, and 8 of the last 10 meetings in general. Add to that Lehtonen has a terrible career record against the Canucks, and we love them at ML. The Blues have taken 3 of 4 from Calgary and look like they are finally turning a corner after a bad stretch of games. Chicago has yet to lose a game in regulation, if they lose, chances are it will be in OT, and the +0.5 REG would still hit.

DAVID BANKS

Georgetown Hoyas vs. Cincinnati Bearcats
With the NBA on its All-Star break, the Big East looks to take advantage
with a rare Friday night game as the 15th ranked Georgetown Hoyas (18-4, 11-7
ATS) take on the Cincinnati Bearcats (19-6, 10-11 ATS) at Fifth Third Arena
in Cincinnati at 9:00 ET on ESPN. The very young Hoyas, who start five
underclassmen, have exceeded some expectations this season by playing some
vintage Georgetown defense, and they come in riding a six-game winning streak.
Cincinnati also has fine defensive numbers, but the Bearcats have been more
erratic while going 7-5 in Big East play after going 12-1 while losing only to
New Mexico out of conference.

Georgetown is ranked 15th on the AP poll but 26th on the Pomeroy Ratings,
where the Hoyas are held back by ranking 102nd in offensive efficiency.
However, their defense can stop anyone as they rank seventh in defensive
efficiency and 14th in effective field goal percentage against. That defense alone
has practically carried Georgetown to its 18-4 record, and besides one bad
loss at South Florida, the other there losses came to Indiana in overtime,
Marquette on the road and to underrated Pittsburgh at home. The Hoyas avenged
the Marquette loss by beating the Golden Eagles 63-55 on Monday and the
current six-game win streak includes a big home win over Louisville and a
16-point road win at Norte Dame, which is never an easy place to play. Now
Georgetown is not a terrible shooting team, ranking 71st in effective field goal
percentage and 44th in two-point shooting at 51.2 percent, but its offensive
efficiency is dragged down by ranking 205th in offensive rebounding percentage
and it is not a good foul shooting team at 66.5 percent. Still, the defense
is good enough to overcome that vs. teams that do not have explosive
offenses, and Cincinnati certainly does not.

In fact, the Bearcats are mirror images of Georgetown stylistically but
they are actually a worse shooting team. Cincinnati is ranked eighth in the
country in defensive efficiency and ninth in field goal percentage against,
although it has not been as good since conference play started, ranking only
eighth in field goal percentage against during Big East games. However, while
the Bearcats rank 76th in offensive efficiency they are just 202nd in
effective field goal percentage, 217th in two-point shooting and 197th in
three-point shooting. The reason Cincinnati ranks higher than Georgetown in
offensive efficiency is because the Bearcats are an excellent offensive rebounding
team ranking 10th in the nation in that category. Cincinnati has also won the
last four head-to-head meetings, but that could work against the Bearcats
here as the Hoyas now have the talent to gets some much needed revenge.

Cincinnati is a small favorite here, and the underdogs are 5-2 ATS in the
last seven head-to-head meetings. Cincinnati is also 1-7 ATS in its last
eight home games and 2-6 ATS in its last eight games following a straight up
win. Sometimes you have to say the HELL with trends.
Pick: CINCINNATI BEARCATS-3.5
