andrew bucciarelli 1-12


Lost yesterday for the 1st time since I have been posting. Actually got swept.

Here is todays email:
Carolina Hurricanes (+129)(2**)
The Carolina Hurricanes' season was derailed by a month-long string of losses. Perhaps just as telling a sign of their struggles has been the lack of a single three-game winning streak. The Hurricanes are six points behind Toronto (15-22-9), which has had major problems at both ends of the ice lately. Carolina won the last matchup between these, so look for an exciting rematch to take place.
Take CAROLINA.


Washington Capitals (-166) (2**)
The Washington Capitals' control of the Southeast Division appears secure for a third straight season, and the Tampa Bay Lightning certainly don't need a reminder. Washington will try to beat the Lightning for a 13th consecutive time on Tuesday night, with the cruising Capitals looking for a fourth straight win overall as they visit Tampa Bay. Mike Smith has been especially sharp in Tampa, going 7-3-3 with a 2.05 GAA there. Smith, though, has lost all three of his career starts against the Capitals while posting a 5.25 GAA.
Take WASHINGTON.


St. Louis Blues (-140) - (1*)
While Davis Payne is savoring his first win as St. Louis Blues coach, he also has to figure out how to help his club end its woes at home.A matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have had their own problems winning in St. Louis, might be a good way to start. St. Louis has not lost at home to Columbus (18-20-9) since a 4-1 defeat March 27, 2007. The Blue Jackets have scored 10 goals during their seven-game road slide in the series, with six of the losses coming in regulation. St. Louis will prevail once again.
Take ST. LOUIS.

lillefty 1-12

2* N.Iowa/Bradley over 127.5(9pm) - As you guys know , I have been on the N.Iowa bandwagon for most of the year. I think this is a major letdown spot for them though. I am not ready to bet against a team that is streaking though, that is foolish. Bradley has managed to get many teams that are normally slowdown tempo teams to play to their uptempo style. Bradley has allowed 5 of their last 6 opponents to reach 80 pts. I don't think N.Iowa reaches that today but they do reach 70. Since this is a letdown spot, I see this being more than likely a close game. This means Bradley is more than likely around 65. Of course if the game is this close we will probably have those free throw points to jack up the score here.

2* Baylor -4.5 over Colorado(9pm) - This is a play on how bad Colorado really is. They are 8-0 at home which gives us great value with Baylor tonight. Looking at those 8 wins(ark-PB, coppin st, tex south, San fran, colo christ, CSU-North, Yale and Miami-oh), the best team there just might be the 3-11 Miami oh team. Baylor has given S.Carolina their only home loss, Arizona st 1 of their 2 home loses and handled Xavier on a neutral court. My only concern is how big of a win they are coming off of , which is why this is a 2 star not a 3 star.

1* Missouri st -5.5 over Drake(8pm) - Mizzou st looks to be one of those classic better than most but not quite top tier Missouri Valley Schools. They were cruising along till last week when the big boys separated themselves from the pretenders. They hung tough with N.Iowa, Wichita st and Illinois st, which are the 3 top teams in the conf. Missou st has beat many decent teams like Bradley, St Louis, Tulsa and Auburn. Drake on the other hand has trouble putting the biscuit in the basket. Recent outings vs the top MVC teams has seen them light it up for 46 vs Indy st and 38 vs Wichita st. Mizzou st gets back on their winning ways tonight.

1* Penn st/Illinois under 132(9pm) - Much like the under the other day with wright st/valpo game this one becomes a different animal when teams start conference play. Penn st is a top 200 team in possession per game. So far in conference play PSU has a 119 and a 107 to their credit. While the Illini got lulled to sleep by Iowa and Indiana with neither game topping 120. These 2 teams haven't combined for a total this high since 2005. Who could forget that classic 38-33 game last February. look for another game in the 50's here with Maybe the winner getting to the mid 60's.

Detroit +5

We understand that considering the Pistons' poor level of play over the last two-plus weeks for many of you this will be a "scary" play. After all, we made the wrong call on Saturday when we went with them at home vs. Philadelphia. Last night, they went out and lost by 33 to division rival Chicago, their 13th straight loss and 12th ATS loss during that same stretch. In that aformentioned writeup, we incorrectly stated that "if there is one team that Detroit can beat, it's Philadelphia." Looking now, it is clear that the Washington Wizards are the "team to beat." The Gilbert Arenas season-long suspension has left the whole franchise a mess. Unlike that Philly game, Detroit is getting points here. The Wiz should not be laying points against anyone. They are just 4-11 ATS their last 15 home games. Before a recent home tilt, F Jamison basically had to come out and beg for fan support in the wake of Arenas making a fool out of himself by making a joke of his recent gun charges. The Pistons have beaten Washington four straight times, including twice already this season, one of which was on this home floor. The Wizards are already only 8-17 ATS in revenge spots this season and 6-14 ATS their last 20 double revenge spots. Believe it or not, but there is a 42-17 ATS system that says to play on Detroit. Take teams that have failed to cover at least 12 of their last 15 games and are playing on back to back days. Detroit is our NBA Oddsmaker Mismatch.

Rocketman

San Jose -110

The San Jose Sharks lead the Western Conference Pacific Division with the Phoenix Coyotes right on their heels. San Jose is the 2nd best team right now in the Western Conference behind Chicago. Phoenix comes in losers of 4 of their last 5 games overall this year. Sharks are 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Sharks are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. Pacific. Sharks are 10-2 in their last 12 overall. Coyotes are 15-31 in their last 46 vs. a team with a winning % above .600. We'll play San Jose for 3 units tonight!

Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons

Detroit +5.5

For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this game is on the Pistons:

The stumbling Pistons try to avoid losing 14 straight games in a single season for the first time in nearly 30 years tonight.

With a 104-95 victory over Golden State on Dec. 12, Detroit (11-25) won its fifth in a row to move within one game of the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons appeared to be getting their season on track, but they’ve lost all 13 games since with injuries playing a major role.

After coach John Kuester criticized his team’s intensity following Saturday’s 104-94 loss to Philadelphia, Detroit allowed its most points of the season in Monday’s 120-87 defeat in Chicago; expect a more concerted effort on both sides of the ball after that embarrassment.

Detroit has been playing horribly lately, no doubt, but it can take solace in the fact that it always plays Washington tough; 6-1 SU its last seven vs. the Wizards regardless of location.

On the other side of the court: Washington (12-23) lost 121-98 at Cleveland on Wednesday - the day Arenas was suspended indefinitely by the NBA for bringing guns to the Verizon Center and related incidents - but has since defeated Southeast Division-leading Orlando (104-97 on Friday) and nearly upset New Orleans two days later.

In Sunday’s 115-110 loss to the Hornets, there were four ties and eight lead changes in the fourth quarter before New Orleans went up for good with 2:49 remaining.

Remember, Washington is also struggling mightily in many ATS categories; 2-4 ATS its last six overall, just 2-6 SU its last eight and 4-11 ATS its last 15 at the Verizon Center.

Bottom line: The Pistons are desperate and in this case I believe it will work in their favor; expect Washington to continue to digress without their "all-star" in the lineup.

Look for DETROIT to move to an awesome 7-1 ATS its last eight vs. Southeast division opponents and for Washington to fall to 2-8 ATS vs. Central division opponents and 3-9 ATS its last 12 after scoring 105 points or more!

Game 527 Baylor -5 over Colorado 9:00

Watch out for this team in the Big 12 because they have good guard play and a huge front line. The Bears roll out 3 starters in the frontcourt all 6'10" or more and then they have 2 good oustide shooters in Dunn and Carter in the backcourt. This team is not afraid to play on the road as they already have wins at Arkansas, Arizona St and South Carolina. Those teams are all equal to or better than Colorado. The Buffaloes will have a tough time keeping Baylor from scoring 80+ points because they don't have the interior players to match up with the Bears. This weekend in a game where the Buffs gave up over 100 points to Texas they had only 18 rebounds the entire game. They'll get beat heavily on the boards and Carter and Dunn will combine for 35+ points from the perimeter as the Bears roll to an easy 87-72 win!

4* (503) HOUSTON ROCKETS (504) CHARLOTTE BOBCATS UNDER THE TOTAl: I like looking at defensive teams under the total and no one is more intense right now than Larry Brown and his Charlotte Bobcats. They are 9th in field goal shooting defense and tops in points allowed, just 92.9 ppg. Both teams for this game have had 2 full days off, which means they will both have fresh legs to play defense. Houston began the season as an uptempo squad, but they are far more defensive oriented now, on a 7-2 run under the total. Charlott is on a 7-3 run under the total and this total is far too high. Play the Rockets/Bobcats Under the total.
