Ben Burns: Burns' *10* PERSONAL FAVORITE! (72-44 YTD)
Phoenix Coyotes at Detroit Red Wings Mar 25 2013 10:05PM
Play on: Phoenix Coyotes
I'm playing on PHOENIX. While the Wings come in as the hotter team, I like how this one sets up for the Coyotes.

If you follow my NHL picks, then you already know that the Wings played at Anaheim last night, earning a 2-1 win. That was their second straight win over the Ducks. In addition to playing the second of back-to-back games, they'll be playing their third game in the past four days here.

True, the Wings have been "respectable" (4-3) when playing the second of back-to-back games. Still, its not an ideal situation.

On the other hand, the Coyotes have had the past few days off. That's not always an ideal situation either. However, in the Coyotes' case, I believe the time off came at a great time. That's because the Coyotes were off a winless road trip and then had proceeded to lose their first game back home. (In fairness, that can be a challenging spot.) Knowing that they're back on the road again after tonight, this game becomes even more critical.

That's even more true given that the Coyotes are currently 12th in the west (3 points behind the 8th place team) and that they're 3-11 (3-8-3) on the road but 10-7 (10-6-1) at home.

Even with a few recent wins, the Wings are still below .500 (7-8) on the road.

While the Wings are 8-15 (-6.6) the past couple of seasons, when playing a road game with an O/U line of 5 or less, the Coyotes are 31-24 (+1.6) when playing a home game with an O/U line of 5 or less.

The Wings have had success in the series overall but the Coyotes won the last meeting here. I expect them to be a little hungrier tonight and for them to step up and earn a much needed two points. 10* personal favorite


Ben Burns: Ben Burns' 10* BEST BET! (2-0/100% IN NIT/CIT/CBI)
Wright State at Richmond Mar 25 2013 8:00PM
Play on: Richmond

I'm playing on RICHMOND. The Raiders had a solid season. I would consider them to be "over-achievers." In fact, they're the last team from the Horizon League to even be playing this season. That said, I feel that they're facing a more talented opponent here and I look for their season to come to an end.

Richmond shook off a very disappointing loss to Charlotte in the A-10 Tournament by winning their first game in this tournament. I believe that they're motivated to win the entire thing and feel that they've got the talent to potentially do so.

Wright State coach Billy Donlon had this to say of the Spiders: "You’re going to have to score some. There are very few teams that have held Richmond outside of the 70s. St. Louis did it, and they’re probably one of the five best defensive teams in the country. Butler did it. Richmond can guard you. They're a team like Valpo that can win the game both ways. We've got to do the best we can to defend the 3-point line, get back in transition and take care of the ball."

Wright State and Richmond faced each other two years ago, in the Chicago Basketball Invitational. The Spiders won by a score of 71-61. The game was tied at 57 with five minutes left, but the Raiders scored only four points in the rest of the way. Darien Brothers scored 16 points in that game.

Unfortunately for Wright State, Brothers is still around. Now a senior and Richmond’s leading scorer, at 14.5 points per game, Brothers figures to have another big game.

While the Raiders are 1-5 ATS the last six times that they were listed as home favorites of three or fewer points, the Spiders are 8-4-1 ATS (9-4 SU) their last 13 tournament games and 3-1 ATS/SU the last four times that they were listed as road underdogs of three or fewer points. I expect them to rise to the occasion and score the minor upset. 10* best bet

NBA Basketball Premium Picks

NBA | Mar 25 '13 (7:05p) Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic	Orlando Magic +13-110 at betus
15* Heat/Magic ESPN Monday No-Brainer on Orlando +13 The Miami Heat are way overvalued due to their 26-game winning streak. They have failed to cover in three of their last four games overall with the only exception being a 109-77 home victory over the league-worst Charlotte Bobcats last night. That means Miami will be a tired team heading into this contest with the Magic. In fact, it will be playing the second of a back-to-back and its 6th game in 9 days. Orlando comes in on two days' rest having last played on Friday in an 89-97 home loss to Oklahoma City as a 14-point underdog. The Heat don't give the Magic the kind of respect they deserve. That's evident considering both meetings this season were decided by a combined 3 points. That includes a 97-96 home victory for Miami on March 6th as a 15-point favorite, and a 112-110 road victory for the Heat on December 31st as a 9.5-point favorite. In fact, each of the last nine meetings in this series dating back to 2010 have been decided by 13 points. That 13-point victory was by Orlando at home in 2012. Miami's biggest margin of victory over the Magic during this span has been 12 points. Miami hasn't won in Orlando by more than 10 points since a 105-90 road victory way back in 2004. That's a span of 17 meetings, making for a perfect 17-0 system since 2004 backing the Magic. Take Orlando Monday.

NBA | Mar 25 '13 (8:05p) Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Hornets	New Orleans Hornets +7-105 at 5dimes
15* NBA Monday Undervalued Underdog on New Orleans Hornets +7 The Denver Nuggets are way overvalued tonight as a 7-point road favorite over the New Orleans Hornets. They are getting way too much respect from oddsmakers due to their franchise-record 15-game winning streak. Denver has showed signs of being way overvalued in its last two games. It beat Philadelphia 101-100 at home on Thursday as a 15-point favorite, and topped Sacramento 101-95 at home on Saturday as an 11.5-point favorite. The Nuggets are just 17-19 on the road this season, so they have no business even being favored in this one. That's especially the case considering New Orleans has been giant killers of late. The Hornets have won their last two games with an 87-86 home victory over Boston as a 4.5-point underdog on Wednesday, and a 90-83 home victory over Memphis as a 6-point underdog on Friday. They have had two days' rest since that win over the Grizzlies, so they'll be fresh and ready to go tonight. The home team is a perfect 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Bet the Hornets Monday.

NBA | Mar 25 '13 (9:05p) Philadelphia 76ers vs Utah Jazz	Utah Jazz -7-108 at 5dimes
20* NBA Monday No-Doubt Rout on Utah Jazz -7 The Utah Jazz will be highly motivated for a victory tonight as they host the Philadelphia 76ers. I look for them to roll to a blowout victory because of it. The Jazz trail the Los Angeles Lakers by two games for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. That means they cannot afford to take nights off, which isn't the case for Philadelphia (27-42). The 76ers are certainly fatigued right now as this will be their 4th road game in 6 days out on the West Coast. They played the Clippers, Nuggets and Kings before this contest with the Jazz. Utah comes in undervalued due to its 4-game losing streak. It lost to the Knicks at home before going on the road and falling to Houston, San Antonio and Dallas. All four of those losses came by 7 points or less, and now the schedule finally lightens up as they welcome the 76ers. The Jazz are 24-9 at home this season, while the 76ers are just 7-25 on the road. Utah is 12-3 ATS in home games after playing a game as a road underdog this season. The Jazz are 13-2 SU & 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 home meetings with Philadelphia. The 76ers are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games playing on 0 days rest. The Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss. Utah is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in its previous game. The home team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings. The Jazz are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home meetings with the 76ers. These four trends combine for a perfect 20-0 system backing Utah. Bet the Jazz Monday.

NCAA-B | Mar 25 '13 (9:00p) MERCER vs Brigham Young	Brigham Young -7-112 at 5dimes
20* NIT GAME OF THE NIGHT on BYU -7 The BYU Cougars should be a much heavier favorite tonight over the Mercer Bears. The Cougars are 16-3 at home this season where they are outscoring opponents by a whopping 14.3 points/game. Mercer comes in getting way too much respect from oddsmakers for its 75-67 victory at Tennessee in its first NIT game. It caught the Volunteers in a huge letdown spot as they did not even want to be playing in the NIT after narrowly missing the NCAA Tournament field. BYU is more than happy to be playing in the NIT, and it wants to get to Madison Square Garden. The Cougars proved that with a 90-79 home victory over a very good Washington team as a 6-point favorite in the opening round. This play falls into a system that is 73-33 (68.9%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. It tells us to bet on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (BYU) - good shooting team (45-47.5%) against an excellent defensive team (<=40%) after 15+ games, in a game involving two good ball handling team (<=14.5 TO's). BYU is 110-69 ATS as a home favorite or pick since 1997. The Cougars are 39-18 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points since 1997. Bet BYU Monday.

NCAA-B | Mar 25 '13 (10:00p) LOUISIANA TECH vs SOUTHERN MISS

LOUISIANA TECH +8-110 at BMaker

15* LA Tech/Southern Miss NIT BAILOUT on Louisiana Tech +7.5 The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are one of the most underrated teams in the entire country. They put together a 27-6 season and I have no doubt that this team is better than several squads in the NCAA Tournament. They are out to prove it in the NIT, and they are off to a damn good start in doing so. They won at Florida State 71-66 as a 3-point underdog in their opener to pick up a big road win. I fully expect them to win outright tonight as well, but I'm taking the points for some insurance. Southern Miss doesn't even want to be playing in the NIT after narrowly missing the NCAA Tournament after a double-OT loss to Memphis in the Conference USA Championship Game. That was evident when the Golden Eagles only beat Charleston Southern 78-71 at home as an 11.5-point favorite in their NIT opener. These teams actually met once already this season way back on December 8th. Louisiana Tech beat Southern Miss 65-55 at home as a 4.5-point favorite. The Bulldogs limited the Golden Eagles to just 33.3% shooting while forcing 25 turnovers in the victory. The Bulldogs are 30-14-2 ATS in their last 46 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Golden Eagles are 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Southern Miss is 1-8-1 ATS in its last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. LA Tech is 8-1 ATS when playing only their 2nd game in 8 days this season. Take Louisiana Tech Monday.
