Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Detroit at Memphis (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Memphis -7.5 (-103) at 5Dimes

Memphis fell short by 7 points in San Antonio, where not too many teams come out with a win. They really can look at an ugly second quarter where they shot just 11% and tallied all of 7 points. Zach Randolph had perhaps his worst game in years, scoring just 2 points in the opener, and now I expect him to come back strong at home tonight. The Pistons have struggled when facing teams from the NBA Western Conference, where they are a woeful 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21. The Grizzlies are at their best on a day of rest where they have captured the cash to a 12-3-1 ATS ark in their last 16. The Pistons have not solved the Grizzlies of late, where they are 0-7 ATS in the last seven meetings. Play on Memphis.

7-Unit Play. Take #491 Montreal +2.5 at Toronto (7:00 p.m., Friday, November 1st)


Montreal earned a split in their last two, both with Hamilton, but they probably should have won both games. Troy Smith is the guy heading into the last week of the season and going back to Hamilton in two weeks for the Division Semifinal and the chance to go to Toronto for the Finals. SJ Green and Duron Carter both looked like superstars last week with both guys going over a hundred yards and the defense will need to step up and get ready for the Grey Cup Playoffs. The Als look to be a tough out in the postseason and will need a win in this one to start their playoff push. Toronto has absolutely nothing to play for and starting quarterback Ricky Ray will not be playing andhe surely won't be alone in street clothes. The Argos will look for some bright spots to use in three weeks when they host the Division Final. Montreal is the team with something to play for in this one and the Argos will be in rest mode waiting for November 17th so look for the Als to take control early and win this one easy.


5-Unit Play. Take #493 Calgary PK at BC (10:00 p.m., Friday, November 1st)


Calgary has their playoff seed locked up and at 14-3 have little to play for heading to BC. The Stamps have stormed to 5 straight wins and have no reason to let down in the season finale with a week off before the Division Final on the 17th. They have been the best team in the league for the better part of the season and have the top ranked scoring, rushing and total yard offense which is running like a well oiled machine. Jon Cornish is breaking records with every yard he gains and it would be a surprise if Calgary reined him in before he is satisfied. BC is in the same boat as Calgary and actually has less to play for than the Stamps. They have to travel to Saskatchewan next week win or lose and that is no easy task with the way the riders have played this season. No Travis Lulay means Buck Pierce will guide the lions in this one and he may not even play the whole game. This could prove to be a lackluster effort on both sidelines and Calgary should have enough to pull out the win in the end.

ROBERT FERRINGO

7-Unit Play. Take #407 Tennessee (-3, +100) over St. Louis (1 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 3)
Note: This is an NFL Game of Year.


The look on Jake Long's face said it all.


The Rams maxed out on Monday Night Football against Seattle in a game that was essentially a Super Bowl for the home team. St. Louis didn't play particularly well, kept in the game by a combination of poor Seahawks play and terrible Seattle scheme. The Rams hung around just long enough to make a last-ditch effort to win the game, getting stopped on fourth-and-goal from the two-yard line to end the game.


That makes this the quintessential letdown spot for the Rams. Their locker room must've been like a mortuary all week. Their season has gone down the toilet. They have been beat up in the last two weeks by the Panthers and Seahawks, two very physical teams. A host of St. Louis starters - including the backup-now-starter at quarterback, Kellen Clemens - were hurt and not practicing, or limited, this week. Starting right guard Harvey Dahl is out and two other starters on the offensive line, LT Long and C Scott Wells, are also banged up, as were both top running backs (Stacy and Richardson).


There is a reason that that played against Seattle are 0-10 ATS in their next game, and that is because Seattle just pounds people. They are the new Steelers. Pittsburgh opponents went through a similar ATS crash for most of the 00's.


St. Louis had almost no fan support on Monday night. It was embarrassing. Yes, a big reason why was the fact that the Cardinals were playing in the World Series that night across town. But they lost too. So St. Louis fans these days probably want to throw themselves in traffic. I don't expect much of a showing from the crowd on Sunday and that is going to negate much of St. Louis' home field advantage.


On the flip side we have the Titans, a team that I think is underrated. Tennessee is rested and ready, coming off a bye whereas the Rams have a short week. The Titans have played a brutal schedule. They come in as a favorite here despite losing three straight games. But those losses were against San Francisco, at Seattle, and Kansas City. Tennessee was playing with its backup quarterback for most of those games and they still put up a game effort.


I think that the Titans are favored for a reason here. St. Louis' wins came against Arizona in the opener (in a game they were down 11 in the fourth quarter), against Jacksonville (who is pathetic) and at Houston (who outgained the Rams by 200 yards). And those wins came with underappreciated Sam Bradford at the controls. There is a reason Kellen Clemens is a journeyman quarterback and he can't do what Bradford did for this offense. Tennessee won at Pittsburgh, had Houston on the ropes, and played tough AT Seattle in their three road games.


This one is a play on the Rams in a letdown spot. Combine that with a Titans team that had two weeks to rest and is undervalued because of a just horrific three-game stretch of games and I think there is value here. I wouldn't wait for this line to get to 2.0 or 2.5. I would play it with no juice - or even + money on the juice - at 3.0. I don't think that this is a field goal game. I think that this is a game that will be decided by at least a touchdown and I see Tennessee getting the win here.

DONN WAGNER'S BREEDER'S CUP CARD FOR FRIDAY NOV 1st.

BELOW

Back SATURDAY by 2PM EST .."I love the card on Saturday!!!!!!"

FRIDAY:

Visitors here are my Breeder's Cups positions for Friday November 1st 2013:

I am going to take only about $200 today and make the following wagers. In my 15 years handicapping The Breeder's Cup I have had 10 winning meets. Last year was a bummer. I hope to do better this year. If I really like a race I will bet between 150 to $300 on it. When I have done this (Only 5 times on my Jockey Club program) each time I have made money. ( 3 winners , 1 place and 1 show*). * 20 to 1 shot paid $12.

An average play for me on a race is between $45 to $60. I am going back to my old ways. I am just playing straight bets and limiting my exotics. The trifectas and exactas have killed me in recent meets. Hitting that 5 figure trifecta in 2006 got me emphasing the wrong elements of what I generally do "BEST".
