Rangers vs Penguins Over 5
Hit last night with our big basketball play, as the Jazz/Rockets game goes over. We are shifting gears and heading to Pittsburgh for round 2 of the playoffs. We take Jagrs' old team against his new one. Alot of the stats point to the under with head to head with these teams. The problem is there is far too much offence to hang a 5 on this total. New York and Pitt know each other well and there will be no feeling out process. We see goals early and often-especially being a Friday night game. This one is a push before the end of the second period.
Take the Over 5

Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Pick: Philadelphia 76ers
Ai Simulator 10* graded play on the Philadelphia 76ers - AiS shows an 87% probability that the 76ers will lose this game by 4 or fewer points and a 65% probability that they will win this game. 76ers will force the tempo to be faster than Detroit will want to play. Detroit is 11-28 ATS (-19.8 Units) when they allow 93 to 98 points in a game over the last 3 seasons. AiS shows a 90% probability that he 76ers will score 90 or more points in this game. I also like the OVER as the AiS has a 3* MAJOR grading on the OVER. AiS shows a 75% probability that 183 or more points will be scored in this game. Supporting this 3* graded OVER play is a system that has gone 132-81 for 62% since 1996. Play over with home teams where the total is between 180 and 189.5 points that is a cold team failing to cover 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread and is now facing an opponent after having covered 2 of their last 3 against the spread. Back to the 10* side play. Philly is a very good ball handling team ranking 11th in the NBA during the regular season. Note that Detroit is 9-24 ATS (-17.4 Units) in road games versus good ball handling teams committing <=14 turnovers/game in the 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Detroit is not a high pressure defense either and rank 24th in the NBA in forced turnovers per game with just 12.8. Note that Philadelphia is 25-13 ATS (+10.7 Units) versus poor pressure defensive teams that are forcing <=14 turnovers/game and in the 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons. Philadelphia is also 12-4 ATS (+7.6 Units) after a game with 15 or less assists this season; 14-5 ATS (+8.5 Units) after failing to cover 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread this season. As another optional wager I like to play no more than a 3* amount on the money line. Here is a supporting system that has hit 70% for a 26-11 record making 19.1 units in profits since 1996. Play on home teams versus the money line that is an average offensive team scoring 92-98 PPG and is facing a good defensive team allowing 88-92 PPG and after scoring 40 points or less in the first half in 2 straight games. Take the 76ers. Also, I would not parlay the two together. Play 10* 76ers and 3* OVER.
