GamingToday's Consensus Picks November 18, 2013 6:00 AM by GT Staff

NFL Monday Night Football

429 New England Patriots / 430 Carolina Panthers OVER 47: We will follow the money on this total as it opened a cool 45 and has been bet up to 47 and we can understand why. The Pats come off a bye week and they scored 55 against the Steelers in their last game and have averaged a cool 34 points a game in their last four games. While the Panthers only scored 10 last week in San Francisco they had scored 30 or more in each of their previous four games.

NBA Basketball

510 Utah Jazz +9: Utah got hammered at Golden State this past Saturday 102-88 and now look to stay close at home in this rematch and we think they will be fired up for this one.

509 Golden State Warriors / 510 Utah Jazz OVER 195½: These two scored 190 on Saturday when the Jazz only put up 88 we look for them to be at least in the 90’s in this home revenge game.

NHL Hockey

4 Pittsburgh Penguins -155: The Pens get back on their home ice after a loss in New Jersey on Saturday, and they will get back to their winning ways.

6 Winnipeg Jets -150: The Jets lost in Minnesota last night but took the short trip home to face off with the hapless Flames who have dropped six in a row.

Where the action is: Sharps backing hot Panthers

Monday Night Football has the AFC East leading New England Patriots traveling to Carolina to take on the surging Panthers.

We talk to oddsmaker Michael Stewart of Carbonsports.ag about the action coming in on Monday Night Football and where the odds could move come kickoff.

New England Patriots at Carolina Panthers - Open: -1.5, Move: -2.5

Panthers QB Cam Newton has stepped up his play during Carolina's five-game winning streak. Newton has completed 69.8 percent of his passes to go along with 10 total touchdowns, while only turning the ball over four times in five games.

The Panthers have covered the spread in the last five games, while the Patriots are 1-3 against the spread on the road.

According to Stewart, sharp action came in early on the home dog, but the action has been back and forth throughout the week.

"We booked very sharp action on the favorite, pushing us to Panthers -2.5," Stewart says. "After going to -2.5, we booked tons of money on the Patriots +2.5 and went back to Panthers -1.5."

Since moving back to Panthers -1.5, there was once again sharp action on the favorite and the number has settled at -2.5.

"Since going to -2.5 yesterday, we've booked great two-way action at that number and I don't see us getting off that number anytime soon," Stewart says. "For us, it's an unusual game in that the sharps are backing the faves and the public is backing the dog."

As for the total, most books opened between 44 and 46.5, with early action on the Over before sharps pushed the total to as high as 48.

"We went to 48, but we started seeing more money come in on the Under," Stewart says. "So we further adjusted and went down to 47.5."

Pucking the trends: This week's best NHL bets

Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in the National Hockey League.

For the week of Nov. 11 - Nov. 17.

Hot team

Minnesota Wild (3-0 SU)

The Wild are on an absolute tear and finished off a great week by defeating the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 Sunday night. The fantastic run by the Wild has been keyed by some stellar goaltending from Josh Harding. The Wild sit second in the league with a 2.00 GAA, while Harding is at or near the top in most goaltending categories - including a microscopic 1.25 GAA. They are on the road this week with stop in Montreal, Ottawa and Winnipeg.

Cold team

Detroit Red Wings (0-3 SU)

Many pundits felt that the Red Wings' move to the Eastern Conference could spell 'doom' for a few teams with playoff aspirations heading into this season. Perhaps not so. It has been a rough month or so for the Winged Wheel as they have just three wins since Oct. 19. This past week was particularly grueling as they dropped all three games and are now mired in a six-game losing streak. All three of their losses this week have come in a shootout, so they are at least competitive game in, game out. They are at home this week with games versus the Nashville Predators, Carolina Hurricanes and Ottawa Senators on tap.

Best Over play

Chicago Blackhawks (3-0 O/U)

The 'Hawks sputtered out of the gate this season (by Blackhawks standards) but have started hitting their stride. They have scored five goals in four of their last five games overall and currently lead the league with 3.6 goals per game. The Hawks were 3-0 O/U on the week but are 10-2 O/U in their last 12. A big road trip awaits this week with stops in Colorado, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

Best Under play

Los Angeles Kings (0-3-1 O/U)

It was a busy week for the Kings with four games played. Jonathan Quick is out with a groin strain, but the goaltending has not missed a beat. Ben Scrivens has come in and posted three wins in four games with exceptional play. The ex-Leaf netminder posted back-to-back shutouts at New Jersey and at the New York Rangers to close the week. The Kings have three games on the board this week with Tampa Bay, New Jersey and Colorado making a visit to the Staples Center.

Surveying the schedule

The Anaheim Ducks have been one of the best teams in the league, but are mired in a three-game losing streak. A busy week upcoming could provide some betting value due to back-and-forth traveling. The Ducks start with a Monday game at Pittsburgh before flying back to Anaheim to face New Jersey and Tampa Bay, the latter of which beat up on the Ducks 5-1 on Nov. 14. The Ducks will then travel to Phoenix to take on the Coyotes in a battle between two top teams in the insanely deep Pacific Division.
