JACKSONVILLE (151) vs PITTSBURGH (152) 7 pm ET
Latest Line: Sharks -4; Total: 92
Gonna lay the points here and back road favorite Sharks coming off big win last week against in state rival Tampa Bay. Power coming off a near 30 points loss at the hands of the Utah Blaze. This game is a mis-match of offensive talent as Jacksonville QB Morris can flat out run and pass. Power's rookies QB Jefferson (LSU) looked awful last week against the Blaze as Jefferson only able to must up a 183 total offensive yards in the game. Play this game early as line may float up at game time. Sharks by 17.
PLAY ON: JACKSONVILLE -4
BROOKLYN (869) vs DENVER (870) 9:05 pm ET
Latest Line: Denver -6.5; Total: 204
Gonna lay the points here and back home favorite Nuggets against Nets. Denver is 21-11 ATS on the season , as a home favorite. Also helps that the West is just flat out better than the East this year in terms of talent. Also like the fact that Nets coming off a hammering of the Blazers which should keep this line tight until game time.
PLAY ON: DENVER -6.5
Game: Miami at New Orleans (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 190.5 -110
The Heat take the floor for the first time after their 27-game winning streak was snapped in Chicago. It woulld not be surprising to see LeBron and company getting rest time here. Playing reduced minutes, will hamper the offensive ability of the Heat. New Orleans will be focused against the World Champs, and like to play a slow tempo. New Orleans has scored 100+ just one time in their last 10 games, and allowed 100+ just twice in their last 10, so the points will not come easy here from either side. The Hornets' extra slow on the pace vs. elite teams has resulted to a 9-2 mark to the UNDER in their last 11 vs. a team with a road winning percentage gretaer than .600. This one stays UNDER.
We are on a 17-10 College Ball Run and 14-11 NBA Run (31-21 Run in Basketball over the last 52 selections (60%). Let's look forward to have a profitable March in both sports by sticking to our 1 POD System and finishing the College Ball season on a high note and starting a new streak in the NBA.
4-Unit Play. #880. Take Florida -13 over Florida Gulf Coast (Friday @ 9:55pm est).
In Billy Donovan I trust. Donovan is a coach that I've admired for years and he is the type of coach that does not let the "noise" around him affect him if you will. Regardless of all the noise out there about Florida Gulf Coast, Donovan knows one thing, that this is a team that still has weaknesses that can be exposed. The Coast has not faced a team with the offensive prowess of Florida yet. The teams they have faced were Georgetown and San Diego State both of whom have their weaknesses such as Georgetown who is 170th in turnovers or San Diego State who is 170th in effective field goal percentage. Florida is the only team in America that is top 5 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. This is why they were my pick to win it all this year just based on the numbers. Florida is 5th in effective field goal percentage and that type of offense is not one that the Coast has seen thus far. With Comer running wild elsewhere, don't expect that here and look for Sherwood to be double-teamed by Florida. Florida also has athletic bigs which the other teams did not have and with 65% of the public riding the pine on the underdog here on Friday Night, look for a close game going into the second half and then Florida to pull away. Billy Donovan is a great coach as is Andy Enfield but with the Coast being outside the top 200 in turnovers that will have an impact today as Florida is unlike Georgetown in that they have a great defense and a great offense to boot.

4-Unit Play. #854. Take Cleveland +2 over Philadelphia (Friday @ 7:35pm est).The Philadelphia 76'ers come to Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio in one of the toughest scheduling situations that an NBA team faces during the season as they just returned home from a Western Conference road swing, played a home game, and now it's back on the road for this visit to Cleveland. The Cavaliers are a young and inexperienced team that will need time to develop. Their core talent is either in their second-year guys or rookies, and all of them are (25) years old or younger. Sixers HC Doug Collins knows that with all the new faces he had in town, it will take a while for his team to establish its identity, but they are not committed on the defensive end of the court. We like the Cavs chances here against the boys from the "City of Brotherly Love ". The Home team is (6-2) ATS in the last (8) meetings, the Cavaliers are (6-1) ATS in their last (7) versus the NBA Atlantic and (5-1) ATS in their last (6) home games versus a team with a losing road record. The crowd is typically eclectic in Cleveland on Friday Night and though this team has lost five in a row, look for them rebound this Friday Night against a Philadelphia team that comes off a big win. Philadelphia is just 7-26 on the road this year and as they come off a win against Milwaukee, I suspect they will have a let down in this contest. The Cavaliers have a way of winning against teams they should as they are 5-0 ATS against teams with a winning percentage of less than 40% Overall and the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these two teams.

3-Unit Pick Take #54 Dallas (-1.15) over Minnesota (8:35 pm, Friday, March 29th) The Stars have been off since losing to the Wild on Monday in a wild one 7-4, that was the second the Wild beat the Stars this year. The red hot Wild went home to hold on to beat Phoenix 4-3 and now have to hope back on the plane to go back to Dallas while the Stars have been resting. I like this Minnesota team but this is just a bad spot in the schedule vs a capable Stars team that has one of the best goaltenders in the league in Kari Lehtonen who gave up a season worst six goals in that loss Monday, I think a healthy Stars team will bounce back in this win and end the Wild winning streak.
