double-dime bet432 NEP -3.0 (-110) BetUS vs 431 DEN
Analysis:
Play on New England at 8:30 ET. Denver allegedly has New England?s ?number? having won 5 of the last 8 series meetings (since 2000) and covering 9 of the previous 12, but this is a banged up team at the skill positions. This is New England?s first home game in 30 days and maybe the Pats needed the break. They have failed to cover five straight here at Gillette Stadium. Thus, they are due. Denver is a terrible pointspread team, having failed to cash in their last five games and they are just 1-6 ATS their last seven as road dogs. Those injuries at the skill positions negate what edge the Broncos could have had here. They are 0-6 ATS vs. teams that allow 64% passing attempts or more to be completed per game anyways. New England bounces back just like they always do. New England is our NFL Oddsmakers Mismatch.

Ai Simulator 5* graded play on Boston (NHL) – Supporting this graded play are a series of strong angles. Boston is 14-5 against the money line (+12.0 Units) against penalty prone teams averaging >=4.7 power plays/game over the last 2 seasons; 18-9 against the money line (+11.3 Units) against poor possession teams-averaging 3+ less shots on goal than opposition over the last 3 seasons; 7-9 against the money line (+9.8 Units) after playing 2 consecutive road games over the last 2 seasons. Pittsburgh in a weak role for a road win tonight noting they are 5-14 against the money line (-11.9 Units) in road games after scoring 4 goals or more in their previous game over the last 2 seasons. Bruins Savard and Ryder are off to great starts scoring 5 and 4 goals respectively in just 4 games. Boston had struggled on defense for the first three games, but they held Ottawa to just 2 goals Saturday. I expect that momentum to carry over into this game. Crosby finally go going offensively with a line change, but Boston will be able to contain him and minimize shots on goal. Take Boston
Denver/New England Under 48.5
This will be the first real cold weathered game for either team this season. Both teams have some issues with their running backs and I do not think either team will be able to balance the run and pass enough to get their offense going full throttle. New England has a very experienced defense that should play well under the Monday Night Lights. Denver has a great secondary and I do not see Matt Cassell lighting up the scoreboard all night. When it comes to field goals it might be tough for the kickers when they kick a hard ball. Take the Under.

Take "(51) PIT Penguins"
The Boston Bruins have opened the season with a 2-1-1 record and five points. The Bruins have the second worst penalty killing unit thus far coming in at just 70.6%. The Penguins are 3-2-1 this year with seven points. The Bruins play their first home game of the season, coming off a 4-2 win at Ottawa on Saturday. Marc Savard leads the team with five goals, four assists and nine points. The win over Ottawa was the team's best performance of the season. .5?All around, we had a solid game,.5? defenseman Dennis Wideman said. .5?Whenever someone made a mistake, someone else was always right there to back him up. As a team. I thought we stuck to our game plan and played really well..5? Manny Fernandez and Tim Thomas have split the first four games between the pipes with both putting up similar numbers. Fernandez has a 3.02 gaa while Thomas is 3.38. The Penguins are coming off a win at home against Toronto on Saturday night, 4-1. Evgeni Malkin leads the team with two goals and eight assists for 10 points. Center Sidney Crosby, arguably the best player in the league, is second with eight points. Crosby is seeing much more ice time this season, about 23:54 per game, about four minutes more than any of his previous seasons. "Just as long as you keep shifts short, not anything crazy," he said. "Sometimes, you get caught out there for a really long shift, and it can affect your next one or maybe the one after. But just consistently keeping shifts pretty normal length. I'd say that's about it," Crosby said about his extended time. Marc-Andre Fluery has played every game in goal and has a nice 2.42 gaa in six games. Anytime we can get the Penguins as a dog you have good value and we'll take it today on the road at Boston.

Take "(54) NY Rangers"
I had another strong football weekend, with my Revenge Game of the Year blowout on Northern Illinois the highlight. I'm already gearing up for next week's action, and I've got three powerhouse early plays available now at 1-888-389-7223!
Goaltending is the name of the game in the NHL, and right now that's a big problem for the Dallas Stars. They've got injury issues on defense with Zubov down and veteran netminder Turco is struggling. The Rangers are off to a sizzling start and have to rate a commanding edge based on the current form. Pretty good sized number, but one I feel is worth laying with the Rangers.
Denver/New England 1ST Half Under 24 +1.05 (2 Unit Play)
Denver/New England Under 48 1/2 -1.06 (2 Unit Play)-Denver is making their first true trip back east tonight as so far this year they have only played on the road twice and that was at Oakland and then at Kansas City. In the trip to KC they shockingly lost and now face a further trip to Boston land where I am sure the folks will be riled up after the Red Sox went down yesterday. New England meanwhile has been toiling on the West Coast as they played San Francisco two weeks ago and then stayed on the coast to train for their meeting with San Diego that obviously did not help. They now return home with their tails dragging a little bit but remember that they rallied after the disappointing home loss to Miami and will be looking to stamp their home field advantage again here tonight. Although Denver's defense is pretty bad I am not sure that New England's offense can take full advantage of that situation here this evening. The Patriots offense is still deadly but Cassell is not able to take full advantage of it like Brady could and that has been evidenced by the amount of sacks that the Patriots have allowed thus far this year. Denver is hoping to have a couple of weapons back on offense in Scheffler and Stokley who are listed as questionable but either way I see both teams trying to control the clock this evening to keep their mediocre defenses on the sidelines. I will play the Under here and split it up between the first half and the full game.
