PLAY: (133) MINNESOTA +3.5 Line good to +3 as a 4% then becomes a 3% at 2.5
RATING: 4% PLAY
Big game tonight as far as Wild Card implications go. Seattle is the hot club winning 3 in a row and 7 of their last 10 but it must be noted that of the 7 wins they only beat one team that has a winning record and that was Dallas early in the year when Dallas was bad offensively. Minnesota and Kirk Cousins once again came up short in a big game as last week they were tied in second half at Foxboro but ended up losing by 2 scores. Scheduling favors Seattle as they are home for a second week in a row while Minnesota travels for a second week after going to New England last week they go as far West as you can go to Seattle. But even with all that said Minnesota still owns the 7th ranked defense allowing just 5.4 YPP while Seattle has the 29th ranked defense at 6.4 YPP. This is basically the season for Minnesota if they want to keep their hopes alive for catching the Bears as they do face Chicago in Week 17 in Minnesota so they can’t afford another loss as far as the division goes. To be honest a loss tonight would throw them in a major log jam for the Wild Card as they would be 6-6-1 and 3 teams would be right behind them at 6-7. Do I like going against Russell Wilson no but give me the better defense getting points and how soft the Seattle schedule has been in their 7 wins I must take Minnesota getting points. One final note Seattle following a blowout win of 21 points or more over a division rival is is just 4-17 ATS in their next game. My numbers have Minnesota winning 27-20.

3-Unit Play. #133. Take Over 45 Minnesota Vikings vs. Seattle Seahawks
This is a great public fade as though the public thinks this game will go Under, however, we think that it will likely go Under today. Note, you have a Minnesota team that was pitiful in their last game on the offensive end and Seattle is clicking on all cylinders on the offensive end now. As Minnesota faces their back to the wall, which is the very reason why they are +3 point underdogs here against a Seattle team - on the road - who is red hot. We like Minnesota to be a solid active underdog and send this game over the posted total.
3-Unit Play. Take #875 Cal-Fullerton (+13) over St. Mary's (10 p.m., Monday, Dec. 10)
I think that this Fullerton team is better than its record suggests. Yes, two of their three wins have come against D-II teams. But they have played a really tough schedule and they took Arizona State (double-OT) and Wake Forest to the limit. I think that they can find a way to hang around here. St. Mary's is better than expected. But they have taken four losses this year, including two at home, and I don't think that they will simply steamroll teams like they have in the past. St. Mary's also has a bigger came on deck in Las Vegas this weekend, so they could be looking ahead here. Fullerton has two guards that average nearly 20 points per game. It just takes one of them to get hot down the stretch and the Titans can hang around.
2-Unit Play. Take #880 Marshall (-12) over Morehead State (7 p.m., Monday, Dec. 10)
Marshall has lost three straight games, including a tough OT home loss to a good Toledo team over the weekend. I think that this team has to be pretty pissed off at the moment. And they should give much more of an effort here. The Herd have been known to go nuts on teams that come to Huntington. I think that they can do that here today against a Morehead State team that A) hasn't played in over 10 days, B) hasn't played a D-I opponent in nearly two weeks, and C) hasn't played a true road game in a month. Morehead is a bad defensive team and they should really struggle against a motivated Marshall attack.

PLAY: (525) MEMPHIS +2
RATING: 3% PLAY
First game back home off of a long 5 game road trip for Denver and it’s their 3rd game in 4 nights but they did have yesterday off. After winning 7 in a row Denver lost the last 2 of the road trip including back to back nights at Charlotte then at Atlanta the next night. I don’t like taking home teams that first game back at home as these teams more often than not come out sluggish. Saturday night I went with Miami over the Clippers in this very same situation fading Clippers first game back off of long road trip. Miami won by 23. Memphis was embarrassed in their last game losing at home by 23 to the Lakers but it must be noted that Memphis had went to New Orleans the night before and upset the Pelicans. Memphis plays great defense something we don’t see a lot of in the NBA these days. In fact they have held 8 of their last 11 opponents to 44% or less shooting. I have MEMPHIS by 3-5 points.

15 DIME play on Oklahoma City against Utah. The Thunder are -6 at 3:00 am pacific.
Rematch of last year's first-round playoff series won by Utah in six games, but Oklahoma City is a more cohesive and better defensive team this season with the additions of Dennis Schroeder (16.5 ppg, 4.9 apg, 4.4 rpg) and Nerlens Noel (5.7 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and the subtraction of Carmelo Anthony.
The Thunder had won four straight and 16 of 19 before losing 114-112 as an 8 1/2-point chalk at Chicago on Friday. But they're rested, seeking revenge and back home, where they're on a 9-1 roll. Utah, on the other hand, is on the second leg of back-to-back road games, which is a situation I always look for when handicapping games. And the Jazz are coming off a loss at San Antonio on Sunday, 110-97, in which they managed only 36 points in the first half against a team they destroyed 139-105 five nights earlier at home.
Utah, 13-14 on the season, enters the game No. 12 in the league's latest defensive rating after leading the NBA in that department a year ago. Ironically, Oklahoma City is now tops in that category. One of the biggest dropoffs has occurred with their inability to stop penetration in the lane. Rudy Gobert was a beast in the middle last year, especially in the Thunder series, as Utah was No. 2 overall last season with a per game yield of 41.8 ppg. This season, however, the Jazz are in the middle of the pack, ranked 18th, allowing 49.1 ppg.
