2NIGHTS NBA --- TREAD LIGHTLY

NBA
-------

DET V CHICAGO UNDER 186 **

Two very defensively oriented teams with no big man scorer on either squad.
Look for low shooting percentages.

NCAA
-------

USD aka University of San Diego is getting too many points tonight against MISS ST.
Diego has not shown up for a couple games which has made this line inflated, but expect a close game to be had here, SD's shooters will come to play tonight

USD +7.5 V MISS ST. *

AS I PREDICTED

3-0 YEsterday

1-0 ***
2-0**


Today's big WINNER EARLY!!!!
OKLAHOMA -10 ** ( CHECK JOHNSBETS.BLOGSPOT.COM)

YOUR BOY IS BACK BABY!!!

6 ** losses
1*** loss

1 *** WIn
Were the results of our last three outings before XMAS... so I decided to take a lil break.

But today, on the last FULL DAY of the YEAR... I will bet a few games that I like in hopes to get us off the SCHNIDE!!!


NEBRASKA -2.5 ** V ARIZONA (BOWL GAME)

Tonight I think Nebraska's Defense will come out and defeat Arizona in a close game. This is not the greatest Nebraska team I have ever seen, but I will say that they play with a lot of confidence and I think this PAC 10 Arizona Team is going to get in a lot of trouble.



NBA
------

ATL +5.5 V CLeveland**
Atlanta is an athletic team which can run the floor, look for them to take it to the Cavs in a very important EAST COAST SHOWDOWN.
I like atlanta's cohesiveness as of late and I believe they will make a good push before the All Star Break.

PHO -5 V BOSTON CELTICS***

TONIGHT the suns will put the smack down on a tired and injured celtics team . The c's finally hit that mid season skid I was predicting although holding together very well without pierce so far, I think their lack of depth and tonight, lack of quickness in the Frontcourt will do them in .

The suns need to beat a top tier team and lost their first home game since last season to the CAVS which I do not believe they wish to repeat twice in a two week span.

Look for the celtics to be out scored plain and simple.

TODAY's and TONIGHTS BETS

NBA
---------------------------
Tonight I like the New Orleans hornets to win over a very hapless chicago team. Noah is second in the league in rebounding, anyone know why?

because chicago shoots like shit, and they play good defense against teams their height.

Look for the under to hit here... I believe the bet will be

UNDER 189 CHICAGO V NEW ORLEANS ***
--------------------------------------

THE Wizards have been on a roll as of late with their best players Jamison and Arenas playing very well, with their role players filling the void nicely. Look for them to beat Minnesota in a close game on minnesota's home floor.

Watch for Arenas to have 30 tonight.

Wizards -2.5 v MIN**
----------------------------------

Charlotte v OK CITY

Tonight I think Charlotte is going to keep a good game with OK City. I think there are matchup problems on both sides of the ball and we will see Charlotte keep this game close.

Charlotte +6 on OK City's home floor is suspicious and I believe it will be a high scoring game which proves uncharacteristically to be in Charlotte's favor.

The cats are usually a defensive team, but the matchups on the floor tonight read SCORE SCORE SCORE!!!

OVER 190 Charlotte @ OKC **

---------------------------------

Indiana vs Atlanta.

Tonight look for indiana to cover against atlanta on their home floor. Indiana has lost four straight and has played tough in each of their games. I think they are due for a win and Atlanta will take them lightly tonight. look for the Pacers to attempt to out play the Hawks and win in a close one. Definitely expect them to cover my people!!

IND +6 V ATL **

baa humbug

Today's NBA and NFL

in the first of today's Christmas showdowns we have the Orlando Magic, the Number two team in the EAST vs The Boston Celtics.. the game is being played in Orlando, one of my favorite places to catch a game and I believe the celtics are in some trouble.

The celtics have a hard enough time beating orlando with their whole team in tact, now their best player, and team captain, paul pierce is out for at least two weeks, I believe this team will struggle a lot without him . As I have always said, the type of 3 (Small Forward) a team has defines the type of team you have. Paul pierce is the epitome of the Celtics scheme, a well rounded, hard nosed, coachable player, which is the Motif the Celtics have built their last few years' successes on.

Tonight, Tony "no knee" allen is going to be guarding either Pietrus, or Vince Carter, both of which are going to be too physically big for him to hold. The celtics are also very weary in their bench's frontcourt, and will have a hard time with Brandon bass and Gortat coming off the bench. I look at this game as a blowout, but since its xmas lets just say

Orlando -5 V Boston ***


Today, The Kobes vs The Lebrons.

I think this game is going to be an exciting one, both teams at pretty much full strength, Kobe's team on a streak, Lebron's team finding themselves after a slow start, winning a couple big ones in a row.

Today will be a game of matchups. The lakers have 3, maybe even four individuals who can do a decent job on lebron. Lamar Odom, Ron Artest, Kobe, and perhaps even Sheldon Brown, are all around the right size and quickness to stay with the king (although primarily we will see artest.)

On the Flip side of the coin, the cavs have no answer for kobe other than lebron guarding him, which will keep the king at bay more that he had hoped for such a high profile game.

Look for the Lebrons to lose by 8 in this one.

LAL -5.5 V Cleveland **




NFL

Tonight there is a very big game in the NFL, the chargers vs Titans.
Vince Young has an opportunity to show how great of a player he really is tonight. Young having gone 7-1 since becoming the starter again, has only fallen to Payton Manning and the Undefeatable colts.

I am very impressed by San diego's ability to pull out wins, however, I am not convinced by the margin they are winning by. Last week they pulled out the win in a very close game with cin....
what scares me about that for the SD fans is that CIN is not a very explosive offensive team and tends to be more conservative. Tonight we are going to see a titans offense with 2 of the most athletic players in all of football, and a Coach that is itching to get back to the big game where he made his name known

Tonight Take TENNESSEE -3 ** (they have much more to gain from a win and much more to lose from a loss)

Tonights Basketball NBA AND NCAA

NCAA BASKETBALL
---------------

Mizzou -2 V Illinois ***

Mizz has looked better in their more recent games while illinois has not done much to change their gameplan from the early season tournaments. look for a fiery mizz team to take the game here by 5.

NEAST started before the post.... so INSTEAD we will go with...

WVU -11 V Miss**

West Virginia is a strong basketball program with something to prove this season. I just cant see Miss coming to play tonight against such a strong big east team. Expect a large margin here.


and Because Im from Massachusetts..

BC-13 V UMASS*

Everyone is high on Umass after their performance against Memphis team which is having a down year. Be that as it ma UMASS is going to get stomped tonight by a large margin, BC plays them every year, sometimes twice and knows their personell and strategy well.




NBA BASKETBALL
---------------

Utah (pick) V Miami **

The Utah Jazz are not fantastic on the road. But I believe tonight will be an exception. The heat Usually lose to teams that play the type of methodical offensive strategy undertaken by Jerry Sloan's JAZZ squad. The jazz players in the front court, namely Boozer, will be putting the hurt on the miami frontcourt, which is not built to play against heavyweights.



Milwaukee -7.5 V Washington*

Milwaukee is a well coached team which has a decent home record and a consistency to show up and cover the spread. Tonight will be no different as the bucks will simply outscore the wizards on the floor. The bucks' quickness and explosiveness is going to be far too much for even arenas and jamison to keep up with.


Denver-3.5 V Atlanta **

Well you can bet on this one to be exciting. I dont expect to see a ton of defense in this game . The Nuggets have dropped a couple games in the absence of chauncey billups, but expect Melo to make up for it tonight and get things in order for Denver to pull out the win. Atlanta is a good looking squad but I think the caliber of this western conference powerhouse will show at home.

RECORD UPDATE

OVERALL Sports RECORD

1-3 ****
46-36***
73-66**
2-6*



We have been on a roll in College Bball having lost under five college games all year. College Football has had a lil slump but expect the bowl season to be a profitable one. NBA and NFL remain above the 50% mark and will continue to climb upward as the NBA teams show more of what they are really made of.

Today's Results

Not bad today...
The college BBALL PICKS WERE A LOCK...

Winning * and ** with Cleveland St and UCLA covering

The rockets also knocked down the big shots to win **

we lost our Oregon St Bet which was convincingly disappointing, and also lost the celtics bet, which by the way really is a sham cuz Garnett decided 15 min before the game that he wasnt going to play tonight, leaving the C's with 3 big men all evening.

2-2**

OR ST. -3 V BYU**

OR ST IS BETTER

Tonights NBA TUEsDAY... BIG GAMES--NCAA BBALL

yesterday's picks were not good. My apologies. I was on a lil streak and we got real cold monday... but i think despite that bump in the road we will have a Holiday season to remember.

Tonight

I usually dont buy into the revenge game plot. But tonight the Boston Celtics play indiana for the second time this season, the last of which was in indiana. Tonight the pacers are going to take a loss and this time it will be a real whippin.

Boston-15 V indiana **
I am only putting two unit in case the pacers do show up

Houston -8.5 V LAC**
The rockets put the smack down on the clippers all game last time they played and tonight will be no different. Bollinger and the second unit are much stronger than the clippers bench and even with eric gordon back the clippers look poorly coached and out of sorts.

TONIGHT's NBA

Ok so.... tonight I like

Milwaukee +1 **
Indiana tends to play well at home but I think their weak guard play is going to lead them to getting into foul trouble against the Bucks. As I keep saying, milwaukee is a good team which can be relied upon against these mid tier teams.


Pho -2.5 V Cleveland***

I believe that the suns will come out and make a statement tonight. They look very good at home and I think they can run on this slower cleveland lineup. Plus The suns will want to take down shaq to prove to him that they really are better without him. The suns have had some down games, but they are usually on the road against teams who are as quick as the suns, Amar'e seems to be unguardable in this game.


Parlay of the Day *

Milwaukee
Phoenix
Washington (NFL)

Yesterday and monday night football

a word to the wise... make sure before you place a bet... you check what you have already placed... I had a computer error that messed up my winnings yesterday..

nonetheless it was like a 50$ mistake... but imagine what it could have been.....


went 1-1 *** yesterday... the steelers really sucked on D.

Tonight...

Washington +2.5 V New York Giants ****

So this will be the second 4 star pick in the last 3 weeks. Both of which have come on the skins. nobody is giving any love to the redskins..they are a good team who gave the saints their first really close call and exposed a gameplan that could rattle new orleans. The skins have made it their business to ruin other team's seasons and this is no different with their chance to DESTROY any hope the giants have at the playoffs. The giants stink. Plain and simple. anyone who bets on them tonight.. good luck to you, I have not seen a team's offensive line play worse in years. They had one good run against the Boys, which i didnt see coming, but I will say this, is this not WASHINGTON's biggest and most publicized game of the season??


WASHINGTON!!!!!! ALL THE WAY BABY!

Sunday, December 20, 2009

Today's picks @ 4pm NFL and RECORD

Cin +6.5 V San Diego***

I believe Cin has been playing below their level of talent as of late and I think this will be a good test for their well rounded team.

Cin is too good of a team to get 6.5 and I think the bettors are taking too much from these recent wins that SD has compiled.

Today expect the bengals to play SD tough and get yards on the ground against a over hyped San Diego Squad whose best win in their last 6 was against Philly during their roughest streak.


PIT -3 V Green Bay***

Pittsburgh will not lose a 6th game in a row. Coach mike Tomlin is definitely going to bring his best game to the table in front of the home crowd.

Aaron rodgers puts himself in horrible positions on many occasions against good defenses, often getting sacked or having to throw the ball away. Today the Defensive scheme of the steelers will stifle the packers and make it so they will have to run shorter routs than they want.

NFL TONIGHT

Dallas +7.5 V NEW ORLEANS **

OK... SO ... CALL ME CRAZY.. but I think I gotta ride dallas tonight.. There is just too much propaganda out there about their late season, DECEMBER woes.

Plus, the saints dont seem to be interested in REALLY going 16-0... they say that, but I bet if they get a couple hard hits tonight you will see people getting subbed out earlier than expected.


Also, even more importantly.. Dallas does not play in many high scoring games and for some reason people seem to think they are a high powered offense.

UNDER 53.5 DALLAS V NEW ORLEANS **

I think dallas keeps this game close and they certainly cant score with the saints. Also, The boys have a very big and physical defense and I believe the size of the saints receivers plays a large part in their 3rd down game.

Gotta take the under here, too much of a propensity for it to hit to bet the over, I mean do you really expect to see another 40 -35 game for the saints?

Yeah I know ATL is crushing lately and I know that the Bulls dont always hold up, but let me tell you something. The bulls always play tough vs ATL and I believe tonight Chicago comes out and Slaps the hawks at home.

If you dont believe me... bet ATLANTA..and watch luol deng have 26

TONIGHTS WINNING GAMES

Orlando -8.5 V portland **

I realize we did the same thing the other night betting on the suns V portland, but honestly the suns let that one slip they were up 15 in the third.

Nonetheless the depth of the Magic is going to do away with a tired portland team.
Who is going to stop DWIGHT HOWARD???



UNDER 190 UTAH @ CHARLOTTE***

2nite the UTAH JAZZ who are horrible on the road, will go against a pretty hot Charlotte bobcats team which is well coached and ready to get a win against the jazz tonight.. I would look for a low scoring game, as neither of these teams shoots that fantastic of a 3 point (33% and 30%) respectively.

Charlotte is especially good on defense this year, and the jazz tend not to show up in these type of games against mid road teams.

NBA and NFL THURSDAY aND NCAA BBALL!!

Tonight some of you may disagree with my picks but I think that we will be ok with these.

1)
Pho +1.5 V Portland**

This seems like the biggest sucker pick in the world. But i feel like Portland's D puts this line where it currently is. The problem with portland is, their bench players are hurt and so is their starting center. I think they have no answer for Amare and Channing Frye. despite my personal dislike of him, is playing out of control lately.

I think tonight the blazers stay in the first half and their bench does them in late in the game. The suns have all the ducks in a row tonight to continue their tear through the western conference.

2)
UNDER 199 MAGIC V Heat ***

The heat have zero chance in this game if they are planning on getting into a shootout with their cross state rivals. I think they will slow the ball down and look to be able to create some shots for dwayne wade. On paper it seems that the heat will get crushed, but I think their defense will show up enough to keep the magic under 100.


Beasely matches up well with lewis or carter, depending on what lineup each team is playing with. I think the heat might win this game 90 85 or someting around there.


3)FOOTBALL

So... do we take the bait and bet on the colts minus a minuscule 3 points?? or do we hope that the jaguars who played miserable offense against the injury plagued dolphins, somehow comeout tonight and decide to play playoff football..??

All kinds of questions... Does Manning play the whole game? does the line take the day off? do the jags win just to ruin the season?what to say what to do?

I think one thing is obvious. The Jags offense stinks. If they get anywhere on the colts it will be on the ground.. and honestly dont plan on that being your best bet..
I think the UNDER seemingly is the only viable choice..

so UNDER 42.5 THURSDAY NIGHT LETDOWN... ***



4) NCAA BBALL

Auburn +9.5 V FSU**

Florida State has been undefeated so far this year at home and has only dropped two games out of their first ten this year, both to TOP tier teams (Ohio ST-FLA).

Auburn has had a rough go at it early on and has lost 2 of their first three road games. However, tonight Auburn stands a chance against the FSU Seminoles because of their ability in the post. I believe that Auburn matches up well down low, both teams having consistent scorers in the paint this may be a point where FSU is forced to shoot the rock from outside in order to win the game.

In their last two meetings Auburn won on the floor, and although this isnt the biggest deal in every bettor's mind, in college, the mental edge from previous meetings is all the more important.

Look for florida state to barley eeak out this victory and for us to Cover through the BACK DOOR..

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

NBA WEDNESDAY DEC 16

OKC +1.5 V DALLAS***
Let me say that first and foremost this has to be my favorite pick on the card. As a basketball guy, I think that OK City matches up extremely well with any lineup that the Mavs can put on the floor. The only player that scares me tonight is Drew Gooden, who is going to be tough to stop for OK City, but that being said, Drew Gooden should never score enough to do a good team in.

Green matches up very well with Nowitski, while marion is also no advantage to the young Virulent Kevin Durant, who last year was the league's second highest scorer.

The Backcourt for the Thunder is also a problem for Dallas as kidd will get worn out by Westbrook, and neither Terry nor Barea is going to be able to do much against sefalosha or harden.

OKC has lost its last two games to HIGH quality teams, Cleveland and Denver, and gave them both good games early and throughout the first half, the talent and coaching of those two teams did them in late, but also the size of both teams. Tonight the Thunder are going to be able to get a win on the floor and snap their losing streak at home vs a team who they can beat if they are able to dictate the pace of the game.

Dallas on the other hand, has won 4 straight, two games of which were by 1 point
(Suns and Bobcats) and is ripe for the picking. Their home stand was certainly effective and to some, even convincing, but i am not convinced.

NEXT PICK

New Jersey +8 V UTAH **

So The Nets havent won many games since getting their first, they have played just as disorganized as they were before their new coach showed up. So why bet on them tonight??

New Jersey is a talented team. They are short down low and do not get a ton of rebounds but Brooke Lopez is a good player who has realized he is going to have to score. Roberts has been playing hard all season even when the team was 0-18 he had 20+ that game. UTAH has been playing very back and fourth as of late, with an incredible inability to get their entire team to show up. Some nights boozer has 28 and the next guy in line has 12. They got crushed by the lakers in LA then beat the lakers and Orlando (who was tired) at home, but then lost to MINNESOTA? tonight they travel across the entire country.

Utah is terrible on the road, as is the trend with a lot of west coast teams. I expect them to lose on the floor tonight after seeing their record against bad teams I think they have a tendency not to show up sometimes. They may pull out a close win as they will need one with this being their 1st of 5 tough east coast road games, but i think Nj is obviously hungrier and has more to lose and will keep a contest.

NEXT PICK


OVER 210 HOUSTON V DENVER ***
Denver has been killing it at home lately, I believe they have only lost two games at home in their last 20 going all the way back to last season. Houston is a hot team right now, putting up a ton of points and effectively running the floor. The appearance of T MAC also gives them confidence that his full recovery is just around the corner. Im too scared to pick Houston again tonight, but what I will say is they will keep a good game with Denver and in order to do that, they will have to put up points Take THE OVER!!!!!!!



NEXT PICK!!

I like the Wizards over Sacramento. Sac has been playing very well as of late and looks to actually be on the track to the playoffs. However, I do not think they match up very well with Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas. The wizards have been playing teams close lately and I think they look at sac as a team they SHOULD beat, which is a lot of the battle sometimes. Nocioni is NOT and I repeat NOT going to hold A JAMISON!! No F'in way... how about at the guard spot?? Dante Green? Down low?? Spencer Hawes?

Im sorry I know the Kings are on fire.. but I just dont see it tonight I think they get balled on .

WIZARDS +3.5 **

TONIGHTS WEST COAST GAMES!!!

Houston -5 V Detroit.

Houston plays an uptempo style of game which is not far off where the pistons look to take their new personell, however I feel that Houston is a cohesive unit which will be ahead most of this game. Their lineup is defensively sound and likes to push the ball. Detroit is going to have a tough time with Ben Wallace in the middle trying to score with the rockets.

I think houston is winning this game late by around 3 or 4 and gets up to 7 with late fouls.


Houston Rockets -5 ***



UNDER 209 Pho V San Antonio **
And
San Antonio +1.5 **

Phoenix has had a couple rough goes at it. Originally i liked Phoenix at home in this game, but come to think of it the Spurs are a much better coached team, who is not going to allow the pace to get out of hand.
i believe Amare will tear up the Spurs frontcourt, which includes a hurt tim Duncan and the Aging Antonio McDyess, but then again will he? Channing Frye Is not the compliment that Phoenix thought he was, and Tim Duncan has been playing like a man possessed. Jefferson can play the style of game phoenix is accustomed to and his ability in the open court could give the spurs a shot to run a lil when the game does swing in the Suns favor.

Good Night Irene!!

ok so we lost our big play of the night to 7 YES 7 Turnovers by the disgruntled arizona cardinals. That was the least cohesion I have seen from any of Kurt Warner's offenses in his career. You got Anquan Boldin out there yelling at people for fumbling, then fumbling himself. ...

MONDAYNIGHTFOOTBALL and NBA

NBA
---------
Memphis +7.5 V Boston**

Tonight the Celtics streak will end. The grizzles dropped a game at home the other night that they should have won. I believe they will keep this game very close if not win on the floor. They match up pretty well If you look at it, OJ mayo is a good defensive match for ray allen, rudy Gay is a tall, long defender and will give a tired paul pierce a tough run for his money, and down low both randolph and Gasol match up well with the Celtics frontcourt.

People, I have seen the celtics LIVE many times this year, im telling you, be weary of betting on a team which has been on the road so much lately, they dont look as fantastic every night as they did in Chicago, I think Memphis catches them sleeping with a packed crowd!!

Under 209 OKC V DENVER **

Denver will put up points but it wont be enough to carry this game to 100 a piece. I think OKC is tired and it seems they will not cover the 10.5 so they may get their asses handed to them tonight, something is fishy.

Perhaps the confidence is off after a harsh whippin against the CAVS, or maybe the whole bet is off because they will play well tonight and cause denver to play more Defense than usual, but I dont think this can really go over.


ANd NOW FOR THE BIG SHOW..

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Tonight I like
Arizona -4 V San Fran ***


And Under 44.5 **


Arizona is going to put the hurt on san francisco. The cardinals have proven in the second half of the season that they are truly one of the top 10 teams in the NFL. Bet on your quarterback. I will take Kurt Warner on Monday night any day over Alex Smith, and the 9ers have shown me absolutely ZERO this season . They Barely Beat Chicago and Cutler had 5 interceptions, what are they gonna do on primetime against a hall of fame quarterback and the BEST receiver in Football?

NFL SUNDAY NIGHT 8pm and NBA late

Looks like we are doing ok today so far... we will see how it all ends up ...
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
--------------------

I firmly believe the Eagles are a far better team than the Giants. The giants need a win desperately yet its difficult to really see how they will pull this one off. Lets look at the facts.

The eagles are on a 3 game winning streak after dropping two in a row in a mid season slump. Their offense has been able to score late in games to keep them in, and they have played tough, close games against washington (who is obviously playing very well) and Chicago, which is not the toughest team but tends to be tough at home.

Their third win was a Destruction of ATLANTA, who kept an excellent game with the Saints today.

The giants on the other hand have won 2 of three, with wins over Atlanta by a small margin, and Dallas, who plain old stinks, especially on offense.

The eagles have the mental edge after punching the giants in the mouth during their 5 game skid.

Eagles -1 ***



NBA LATE

The L.A. Clippers are going to beat the spurs tonight.
The clippers have been coming together now that guard Eric Gordon is back in the line up. Tonight their defensively sound front court is going to ware out the Spurs. Marcus Camby is going to clog up the middle and make it difficult for San Antonio to run their offense. Baron Davis and E gordon are going to give hell to Keith Bogans and Tony parker, who really arent very good on defense.

Watch for the clippers to keep this close then make a late game surge.

Clippers +5.5 **

NFL 4 oclock

Washington - 2.5 V Oakland ****

Washington is going to put the smack down on oakland. I am aware that oakland is riding high after their victory over the steelers, but PEOPLE come the f on now, this is not 2008, the steelers have lost 5 games in a row, and the closest game they played was with their backup QB in, and it allowed them to put up points in a way that they cannot with their normal game plan.

As of late, Washington has been playing similar to the way we all thought they should the beginning of the season, and will be scoring a lot more than the hapless Steelers did last week.

Unless im missing something I cant see Washington lose this game here.

Also, one of the top cappers in New England, whose current record is 84-46 has the redskins money line and by the spread, so it reaffirmed my belief.



UNDER 49 Dallas V San Diego ***

The dallas cowboys are an under team. They do well when they run the ball, and their strong point is their defense and especially their defensive line. San diego prides itself on balance, but runs the clock down on most drives whence utilizing the abilities of their two amazing running backs.

Dallas really needs this game and I believe they will play conservative especially at the end .

final score Dallas wins 24-17.

TONIGHTS N-B-A SUNDAY

Cleveland -3.5 V OKC **

As much as I love OKC they simply cant matchup with cleveland down low. I have played against better players in D3 than Nenad Kristic, and their bench offers nothing in the front court.

Looks like everyone and their mother might be right tonight... cuz OkC's best player also happens to play the same position as our hero... King James.
Their backcourt (okC) is strong, but still really no match for the Cavs, and although Green is a matchup problem for the Cavs, he is not enough of a factor to really make the game change in such a way that OK CITY will be able to hang.



Memphis +6.5 V MIAMI***

Memphis let me down the other night against OK City, but I believe they are playing a team tonight which doesnt match up well . Miami does not have any real scoring in the front court, beasley will get his 15 but I believe Zach Randolph will go off tonight, which will also give a lot of solo looks to Marc Gasol.


Rudy Gay is going to have a night tonight after getting shut down @ home two nights ago. Look for D. Wade to put up a bunch of points, and that to be about all the HEAT do tonight.




0-2 ****

1.)Jac - 1.5 *** V MIAMI

Jacksonville's team is coming together, they should not be favored unless vegas intends on surprising MIAMI... watch out for the Jags this game.

I also think tony s. blew his load against the patriots, pulling most of the tricks left in his offense out of the hat.




2.) I agree with my man John T @johnsbets.blogspot.com....
Denver +6.5 V IND **

3.)CHICAGO +4 V GREEN BAY**... Expect an aaron rodgers let down.

OK so now that I think about it

Chicago +9 V Boston ***

Ok .. so here it is. Some analysis comes from paper and matchups... others come from instinct.
Im gonna give you a lil of both here.

So, This is the second game of a six game home stand for the young bulls. The bulls are not doing as well this season as they would have anticipated and they will look at this game as an opportunity to get things straight against a Rival...


Why a rival???

last season's quarterfinal round between the hurt, tired, injury plagued celtics team, and the young hopeful bulls will give the bulls hope that they can take down the Powerhouse celtics. but they will have more than hope on their side... they will also have a home crowd and a road weary celtics team which will enter Chicago tonight to play their 6th road game out of seven total games.

I think the celtics get rocked tonight.

TONIGHTS N-B-A SATURDAY!!

Charlotte Bobcats +7 V Dallas Mavericks **

ok, so im going to tell you how the mavericks will lose this game on the floor tonight.
Lets take a look at the dallas starting five tonight.

pg. Jason Kidd
Sg. Beaubois
Sf. Shawn Marion
PF. Dirk the Jerk
C. Eric Dampier or Drew Gooden


now lets look at how they matchup with the bobcats

pg. Raymond Felton
sg. Stephen Jackson
SF. Boris Diaw
Pf. Gerald Wallace
C. Tyson Chandler


I am not sure if you all are seeing what im seeing, but who is going to matchup with Stephen Jackson?? Kidd cant do it for 48 min, and really all he can do in the post against him is take charges. Because of this and the toughness down low, the bobcats have a clear rebounding edge, with Gerald Wallace at just over 12 boards a game.

I know the cats dont score a ton, but i think they will outlast dallas tonight... look for a huge upset. dirk is going to have to play more d than he likes to, and the committee of guards for the mavericks are not going to hold jackson.
NEXT PICK


Washington -7 V Indiana **

Washington has lost their last three games by a combined total of 8 points.
Most recently they took the Celtics to the wire and almost beat them in washington.
Tonight they will look to put the hurt on a weaker Indiana pacers, whose best player, Danny "the lone Ranger" granger is out till mid January with Plantar Fasciatus in his heel.

I think washington gets their heads straight tonight, the pacers have not looked good all season despite a few home wins they really struggling.


more to come if I can get around to it...

Early on I would say DONT bet on the CELTICS 2night.

TONIGHT's NBA

Wizards +7 Vs Boston ***

Tonight the washington wizards are going to surprise the Boston Celtics, and the betting world. Washington is one of few teams who have been able to pull outright wins against top tier teams. Their starting lineup matches pretty well with the celtics, whose second unit has been playing like complete garbage. Also Antawn Jamison is going to have a night against pierce who, although he is a strong defensive player, is undersized against jamison. If Garnett Guards Jamison, he will be busy chasing him out to the three point line and stopping him off of screens all night.

Gilbert arenas will be ready to play tonight and rondo, although very difficult to handle on both sides of the ball, will have to play even better than he has in recent games to put the celtics over the top.

The only gap in Washington's starting lineup is Nick Young, who is clearly put in the game for defensive purposes. He will be glad to haunt Ray allen all game as the Celtics look pretty damn tired after their four game road trip, two days home and back on the road Again.



Look for a celtics let down in Washington.

yesterday

lost the Chicago bet by a couple buckets.. the bulls couldnt even stop or score on ATLs second unit.

Nets showed no heart, I bet they lose another 39 games before winning back to back.

MILWAUKEE is becoming a very consistent and reliable team

Yesterday

Lost 2 ** plays and one ***

Won 1 ** play that I really wanted to put more on . get it (mor- on)

OVER UNDER SHAME AND PLUNDER

UNDER 196 CHICAGO V ATL ***

chicago will be determined to hold the resurging hawks to UNDER 100 as they were embarrassed by the NEW JERSEY NETS last night allowing them to score 103 puentos.

Chicago's youth is often their downfall but look for them to lose by about 9 tonight, something right under the backdoor. The bulls will hold the Hawks and the Hawks will not even need to hold the bulls as they clearly stop themselves on offense with their inability to shoot.

196 is not really that low of a number and neither of these teams really outmatches the other player for player.


MIL -4 V Toronto **
Milwaukee will look to make up for a lost opportunity against the Celtics in Boston the other night. the bucks played the C's hard all the way through to the fourth quarter and lost a 4 point lead with about 5 min to go to lose by 9. They did cover the spread, but as the bucks are looking this season to be a playoff team, they will look tonight to show their home fans that they are not an early season fluke.

Look for the bucks to score around 110 tonight on their home floor and put the hurt on the Craptors in the 3rd quarter.
Milwaukee needs this win to turn their luck around while two of their starters remain out. This is a much bigger game for the bucks and you can expect them to show up after having come so close to beating the leagues strongest team.


NETS -2.5 v golden state **

The nets are going to pull out another victory tonight. I believe that Chicago is a much better defensive team than Golden state and last night they put up 103 on the Bulls. The nets are fighting like a wounded animal, sick of being made fun of and sick of being mocked by their harsh NEW JERSEY and NEW YORK CITY fans.

Watch out for the nets. Meanwhile the Golden state warriors they have lost four in a row playing in Denver, then two home losses , then to OKLAHOMA for an ass whippin where they only put up 88, followed by tonight's voyage to New Jersey.

I think the Nets get 2 in a row..

Today's NBA TUESDAY

UNDER 191.5 ** Orlando V Clippers

Clippers +7 **


Orlando is at the tail end of a six game streak where 5 of their games have been on the road. They have played all over the map recently and are not going to score tonight like they usually do. The clippers are not the greatest defensive team, But they will be trying to get the tempo down due to their inability to keep up with Orlando in the Fullcourt game.

Expect the clippers to win on the floor and this to be one of the most boring games of the season.


Cleveland - 7 V Memphis ***
This line is deflated because of Memphis's Shalacking of Dallas the other night. The Grizz and their fans think this team is better than it is and on paper, dont get me wrong, they are very strong on both sides of the ball. Yet, there are two aspects that rarely show up in the stats in any sport.

1. Coaching

Mike Brown is a great player developer and very inventive coach. He thinks of many ways to keep his team fresh for each game and motivated. Memphis's Coach..Lionel hollins... well need I say more... who the hell is lionel hollins.

2. Crowd

The second aspect that we will not see on paper is the crowd...

This crowd in Memphis hasnt seen THE KING in a long time.. expect him to have the memphis crowd in awe of him instead of their home team... he is due for a 40+ night.




CELTICS -12 V MILWAUKEE **


The celtics are on fire and milwaukee is fizzling on a losing road streak .
Look to the celtics to pour in on after sweeping four straight road games.

NBA SUNDAY

MIL + 6.5 V CLEVELAND

cleveland is on a streak outscoring teams by dozens of points and playing well since Shaq's return. They outsize the bucks and are much more experienced. Their star has no one to check him, and our favorite ringless hero king james will probably slap the bucks.

and with all that said...I like milwaukee at home.

MILWAUKEE +6.5 ***


Sacramento +1.5 V MIAMI

Miami has had some tough losses to big teams as of late. look here for a let down... and a big one, as a hot sacramento team plays in from of their faithful home crowd on sunday night.

I think Sacramento wins this one by a couple buckets. How?

Well they have been keeping a high pace, and kept up well with the suns the other night in a close loss which snapped their 4 gamer....

I think they look to get back on track at home and keep it up tempo on a slow one man show known as the heat.

the heat are tired and deshevled as they lost to the KOBES as kobe hit his shot off the glass due to a magnet in the backboard which attracts the ball from kobes hand in the fourth quarter and overtime.

SACRAMENTO **

4 o clock

I like SAN FRAN -1 ***

San fran is a well coached team who has stopped looking for their identity and is now currently redefining it.. The seahawks are not a pushover and will give a good effort as they always do, but it is late in the year and they are once again playing for nothing.
San Fran having lost to some of the leagues top tier teams is going to look at this as a must win and has pinned this as a win on their schedule since week 1.

Look for San fran to put up 28.


Dallas-1 **

I like the cowboys Defense a lot. I also think the cowboys have a personal vendetta against the G men who seemingly have fallen apart since their last win in Dallas earlier this year.

Since that time the Cowboys have gotten better on both side of the ball... and the Giants simply play like shit most of the time.

The Giants beat the Falcons, who stink for the most part.

and that doesnt convince me.

The G men are not the team they used to be and although Bradshaw is supposed to be back which adds to the dynamics of the running game, the bottom line is the COWBOYS are no team to play with.

EAGLES AND....

Today I also like

EAGLES -4.5 ***

Very suspicious that these two seemingly evenly matched teams have this line. Eagles giving points in ATL when ATL REALLY needs this game to stay alive.

But when you look further into the tail of the tape, you see a lot of gaps in the ATL gameplan. The Falcons would have a hard enough time with the eagles with their entire roster in tow, but now, they will be playing short handed without their Outstanding quarterback MATTY RYAN and their BIG TIME tailback MIKE TURNER.

ALSO... lets not forget mr. vick is going to be back in town... maybe score a touchy touch?

I think the eagles win 31-17


CIN -13***

The bengals have something to prove here to their home crowd, they just dropped a game recently to a shitty team, then the BROWNS kept a close game with them.

They need to put the hurt on this DETROIT team and start getting ready to play PLAYOFF FOOTBALL, which is peeking its head around the corner.


DETROIT IS A HARD NOSED TEAM. they are a group that is happy to play and even happier to be in the game. they know how much value is in winning which is why its hard to bet against them.. today however... they will get stuck in the RED ZONE... REPEATEDLY...FIELD GOALS GALORE...

BENGALS TEAR APART THE DETROIT SECONDARY.

PLAY EARLY

I myself like the Titans today. I think that The colts will win with a last minute drive, but I like the points in this game.

TITANS +6.5 **





As for yesterday, I think the Play of Nene negated exactly the aspect of the Denver frontcourt that I was betting against. If he can remain a 10-14 point scorer, there is really no way to score with Denver if you are the spurs.

The suns should not be letting sacramento hang around.

San Antonio-3.5 ***

Anyone ever wonder why denver hasnt won anything yet? When I say anything I mean any rings, Conference Championships ??

If you would like to find out... watch the game in San Antontio tonight vs the Spurs. As I said the other night.. I am not so confident in timmy d, and I understand that young teams can teaR apart the spurs... even on their own floor, however....
AND THIS IS HUGE mind you!

Their coach is too good to allow it. Now the differences you will see on paper tonight, will make you and 98% of your friends tell you that DeNVER is the bet tonight... So bet on The denver nuggets if you want to.. but they have one finals ring on that whole bench and it belongs to MR big shot. so let your friends tell you what they want about the highlight reel that is the DENVER NUGGETS. I love to play with them in 2k10 myself. but when money is on the line...


SAN ANTONIO -3.5 VS DENVER ***



Pho -12 V SACRAMENTO***...


So youre saying to yourself... MR C.... The kings have won 4 in a row, the suns lost 2 one of which was to the F*ckin knicks and you want me to bet on the SUNS...

YES.

WHY?

Well have you asked yourself... who are the SACRAMENTO KINGS?

They are a pretty decent team to be honest, they have a good coach and their young Frontcourt puts up buckets when they have an opponent who cant keep up with their pace. The Kings have indeed won 4 in a row, which makes them one of the hottest teams in Basketball I do admit. The problem lies in who they have beat and not how many.

The Kings Competition as of late has been weak. And although they have been playing short handed in the backcourt, NO KEVIN MARTIN OR FRANCISCO GARCIA, which is admirable, they are going to get crushed by the SUNS, who will be intent this evening on proving to their home crowd that they still deserve to be in the conversation of the most elite teams in the game..

if not.. then you might see SACRAMENTO in the playoffs... but I just dont see it with who they beat i mean here it is for you

4 game winning streak SACRAMENTO :


12/02/09 IND W 110-105
11/29/09 NO W 112-96
11/27/09 NJ W 109-96
11/25/09 NY W 111-97


DO you REALLY THINK THESE TEAMS ARE ANY GOOD?? Granted IND is ok.. but they are still putting the pieces together.

bet the suns!!!***

ONE NBA BET TONIGHT ONLY

CELTICS +1.5 V SAN ANTONIO ***

The celtics are looking fantastic as of late. As I have been saying all season Kendrick Perkins is learning how to be a REAL threat in the post and a lot of this has as much to do with GARNETT's ABSENCE last year as it does with his PRESENCE this year. That and the fact that the celtics have a new big man coach added recently who has been working with Perk.Combine that with San Antonio's inability to play for an entire game, and their weak Frontcourt (no offense But Duncan is on his way out..)

Also I am a firm believer in taking a look at what sort of competition the team has been playing prior to their matchup with an elite team. The Spurs have won 5 straight against bum teams, 3 of which have sub 500 records the other two are Houston and Milwaukee (who is actually a lil better than average.)

The celtics are going to thrust and bust all over the slow Spurs team whose bench is also not as deep as boston.

Looking on the other hand , the celtics have not had the ROUGHEST go at it, however they did Beat MIAMI at in MIAMI and a tough tough Charlotte team which they smacked in their crib.

The celtics boast their own 5 gamer coming into san antonio and I think they win tonight 100- 88

BASKETBALL....my area of Expertise.
------------------------------------

Trailblazers -7 V Miami ** (I honestly think this line should be 10 with the way the heat played in their last game, which by the way was at home. )


PHO -7 Vs NYK ** I am aware that the suns are close to the end of their road trip. I am also aware there is a bit of animosity between these teams. But I cannot advise anyone to put their money on the knicks, who lost by 12 in their last overtime game.
