7-Unit Play. #704. Take Over 196 – San Antonio vs. Philadelphia (Monday @ 7:05pm est) (Americasbookie.com currently have this line)
We roll with the Over here for a couple reasons the least of which Philadelphia will show up for this game. The 76ers have a way of getting up for the better teams in the league seeking their first win of the season and looking to avoid yet another terrible record breaking losing season as they are taking in a hurry. Note that the Spurs are 5-0 ATS against a team with a losing home record which means they do not lay down or lack effort when they face the weaker teams in the league and with Coach Pop having a minor procedure and not coaching their last game on their road trip this team is focused more than usual as they play for coach. Also note that the Sixers 7-2 ATS when facing teams with a winning percentage of greater than 60% meaning they show up against the better teams in the league as we discussed as even the Dallas game is a prime example of that. Dallas crushed this team at home earlier this year only to see Philadelhpia step up and play fairly decent against them this time around for an incredible amount of motivation. With San Antonio putting up at least 100 points in 4 of their last 5 and 6 of their last 8 contests, and with Philadelphia looking for revenge from an earlier season loss, look for this contest to indeed go over the posted total here. The Over is 5-1 for the Sixers when they face a team with a winning percentage of greater than 60% and with the total sitting in the mid to high 190′s, look for the Sixers to show up with a lot effort here and we like the idea of a double-digit dog who can be an active underdog to send this game over the posted total this evening.

Tonight is the first eligible night of the season but we are going to have to wait until tomorrow for some action. It's a short schedule tonight and none of the games fit.

704. Philadelphia 76ers +12* (mostly 11.5s but buy the half)
8-Unit Play. Take #5 Montreal (-110) over Colorado (9:00 p.m., Monday, Dec. 1)
Note: This is our Game of the Year.
Over their last 4 games the Avalanche are 3-1 and may feel as though their season is turning a corner. Unfortunately, the Montreal Canadians are coming to town and have dropped 3 straight games in a row. Colorado’s last 3 wins have come from 3 sub-par teams in Carolina, Arizona, and Dallas. They lost to Chicago on November 26th and were outshot 45 to 29 in the contest. In my opinion, the Avalanche will struggle against Montreal as they did against Chicago. I like the fact that Price will be back in goal for the Canadians and was shocked when they didn’t beat Buffalo after outshooting them by 24 in their last 2 games. Look for Montreal to get back on track tonight in Colorado.
