2-Unit Play. Take #502 New York (-4.5) over Orlando (7:30 p.m., Thursday, December 22)

The Knicks have been very good inside the Garden this season and started off their three game homestand with a very nice come from behind win over the Pacers on Tuesday. It was a huge game for New York being able to keep fighting when in the previous three or four years they would have just given up. This group of Knicks has shown some life and should be able to contend for a postseason spot if they keep playing better as the season progresses. The Magic have been inconsistent and a 13-17 start has shown that but they are a scrappy bunch with some talent so the Knicks won't be able to coast in this one. Take the home team to pull away late for another good win. Knicks 110-97.


Carpe diem. Good luck.

Millionaires--Philadelphia

Philadelphia will want to make a statement in tonight's game. The New York Giants can clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2011 with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles (5-9) will play the role of spoiler against their East Division rivals and have what it takes. They are 0-5 in division play but all 5 losses have been by 7 points or less. The Eagles running game will get a boost from running back Darren Sproles, who was cleared after undergoing concussion protocol. Philadelphia averages 112.9 yards on the ground and 227.5 in the air. Overall, the Giants don’t rank very high in terms of total defense. Fourteen teams have allowed fewer yards than New York, and they aren’t in the top five against either the run or the pass. The Giants haven’t scored more than 17 points in their last three games, and they rank 27th in total offense. The Giants will be without running back Shane Vereen who reinjured his triceps in the 17-6 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. New York is just 3-3 on the road this season, while going 2-2-2 ATS. History seems to repeat in division games and should give momentum tonight for this upset. The Eagles have outscored the Giants 54-7 in the last two games they've hosted New York at Lincoln Financial Field. Giants quarterback Eli Manning's five career losses against the Eagles are his most against any opponent, as are his 26 career interceptions thrown against Philadelphia.

Double Dime - - - 219 Colorado St. -15.0 (-106) Pinnacle vs 220 Idaho

Analysis: Colorado State is in a Bowl for a fourth straight season, seeking to end a 2 Bowl losing streak. Idaho's last Bowl was their 2009 win over Bowling Green in this Bowl. Only Temple (11-1) had a better ATS record this season than Colorado State. 3-4 SU in mid season, the Rams won 4 of their last 5 games, scoring at least 37 points in each game and covered each of their last 7 games. Idaho is poised to drop down from FBS status to FCS but might rethink that decision following this season's surprise success. After winning just 5 total games between 2011 and 2014 the Vandals went 4-8 in 2015 and that improvement continued this season. After early season one sided losses to Washington and Washington State the Vandals finished the season winning 6 of 7 and covering in all 7. Even though the Bowl is being played in its home state Boise is nearly 300 miles from the Idaho campus. Still, expect the Vandals to enjoy the vast majority of the crowd support. Colorado State enjoys several key edges, including a much better ability to run the football and an edge in avoiding turnovers. The defensive stats are fairly close although the combination of both show CSU with a yards per play differential of +0.5 with Idaho -0.6. Idaho defended the run fairly well but was below average vs the pass. Those games against the two Washington schools give Idaho the tougher schedule although CSU stepped up in class as well, losing badly to Colorado and more competitively at Minnesota. The weather conditions could influence this game and if so CSU has that edge in the running game that is complemented by a decent passing game. In winning 4 of its last 5 games each of those CSU wins was by at least 18 points or more. The lone loss was at geographical and conference rival Air Force, 49-46. While it is tempting to call for Idaho to end its surprising season on a high note Colorado State has too much in its favor to call for the upset. CSU's ability to run the football also suggests edges late in the game. And the Rams also had the much more impressive win over their lone common foe, at UNLV.
