Pro Football Play of the Day - 8.22.14 August 22, 2014 6:35 AM by GT Staff

Carolina Panthers at New England Patriots at 4:30 p.m.

Even though this is dress rehearsal week 3 in the NFL we will need to bet against the Patriots and the money as the Pats have gone 0-8 in their last eight preseason games when favored by more than three points.

255 Carolina Panthers +5½

GamingToday's Consensus Picks - 8.22.14 August 22, 2014 6:26 AM by GT Staff

NFL Football Preseason Week 3

253 Jacksonville Jaguars +3: The last 15 times in preseason that the Jags have faced a NFC team on the road they have gone 14-1.

258 New York Jets +1: In the battle for New York we will side with the Jets even though the money has come on the Giants as the Giants have not been a giant in week 3 of preseason losing the last six years in week 3.

MLB Baseball

903 San Francisco Giants +150: Great dog bet here as we go for the double five system play as the Nationals have won ten straight games.

905 Atlanta Braves +105: Atlanta fighting it out for the division while the Reds have packed it in in the NL Central.

922 Boston Red Sox +160: Both our five plays yesterday let us down but we will take a shot with the big dog Red Sox as they are home with a five game losing streak.

927 Los Angeles Angels +150: Huge series for the Angles here in Oakland, we like this dog play as the Angles are really playing good and getting some good pitching, they try to win their fifth straight game.

Detroit Lions -3 ($500)

Yes you read that right. Normally we rank our top preseason picks at $100 but if you look at our past records you will see that we start to raise the betting amount come week 3 and 4 of preseason. Last year we raised to $2,000 - we may do that next week, it all depends.

It's been reported that the Jaguars are NOT going to have their starting QB in this game for very long, they want their rookie Blake Bortels to play for most of this game VS Detroit's first team defense. This will be the FIRST time Bortels plays against an NFL team's first team defense. As for Detroit the report is that Calvin Johnson will be unleashed this week. (Apparently, he's a leashed dog, or something) The points will be there, especially with the WR'ing core that Detroit has this season.

Play this game and DO NOT pass it up. Detroit should and will control most of this game. Look for early points from Detroit's offense and look for their first team defense to get to Jaguars rookie QB Bortels. The pass rush will be active tonight!

Dominic Brando's Inner Circle Friday

MLB Diamond Club Friday Inner Circle Total: HOUSTON/CLEVELAND (PEACOCK/CARRASCO) OVER 8.5/+105 (7:05 PM ET)

Analysis: Our top MLB Total on the Friday card comes from Cleveland (our model sets this number going over 10). Peacock and Carrasco will yield plenty of opportunities for both teams (combined ERA over 9.5 with a total record of 5-10 on the season). Houston enters off an afternoon road shutout at Yankee Stadium, but their bats will come back alive tonight against a SP that has very little business being on a MLB roster (Astros 32 runs in previous five games before yesterday’s gem by Brandon McCarthy). Similar situation for the Tribe, who enter tonight off a silent afternoon road loss (1 run yesterday) after having scored 12 runs in the previous two games. BATS AWAKEN ON BOTH SIDES TONIGHT as we take advantage of a weak 8.5 number and put our investment on the over!

MLB Diamond Club Friday Inner Circle Side: LOS ANGELES DODGERS (ACTION/HAREN) -130 over New York Mets (10:10 PM ET)

Analysis: WE LOVE the Dodgers in this spot tonight, entering with momentum after the huge Josh Turner HR that saved the night B8 last night vs SD. Expect LA to respond tonight as the bright lights of NYC come to visit. The Mets are just 3-6 in their last nine games and typically struggle on the West Coast including 0-4 L4 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers are 13-3 against left-handed pitchers and catch Jonathon Niese at an opportune time tonight (entering 2-5 in his last seven starts as a road underdog and just 1-7 on the road against .500 or better teams). The Dodgers have won six of seven games against the Mets and it continues tonight. VALUE at -130, jump on the better team in a perfect spot!

MLB Diamond Club Friday Inner Circle Side: SAN DIEGO PADRES (DESPAIGNE/COLLIMENTER) +105 over Arizona Diamondbacks (9:40 PM ET)

Analysis: We isolate the Padres as our top underdog on the Friday MLB Card! We catch a very live dog coming into the desert tonight, swinging their best bats of the season (and the best offense in the National League since the ASB. SD is the top hitting team in the NL and they are third in MLB in batting average (.267) during that time. Before getting their hearts broken last night vs Clayton Kershaw, the Pads had 68 hits and 35 runs in their previous 7 games! On the flip side, offense has disappeared for the DBacks, who have hit only .239 since the ASB (scoring ONLY 14 RUNS/45 HITS OVER THEIR LAST 7 GAMES). Paul Goldschmidt is out for the year, and the offense has responded in miserable fashion - we expect that to continue tonight! DBacks SP Josh Collimenter enters tonight with a 6.46 ERA in his last 3 starts. San Diego is 8-3 vs sub .500 teams since the ASB and enters off a very feisty series at Dodger Stadium. We move with complete confidence on San Diego as our top Friday Dog!

CFL Gridiron Club Friday Inner Circle Side: MONTREAL ALOUETTES +8/-120 over Winnipeg Blue Bombers (8:35 PM ET)

Analysis: Do not let the record differential in tonight’s game deceive you. Winnipeg escaped with a 34-33 victory at Montreal early this season, but the Blue Bombers were out gained by 105 yards. Winnipeg is also only 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 home games. Our model sets this number in the 3.5-4 range, and we will JUMP on what we judge to be a clear overlay/value spot with a live dog in Montreal. Be sure to play at +8 on the half point buy if necessary. We expect a continued run of success with our CFL plays. Take the points and expect the Alouettes to be more than ready for this one tonight!
