Play On: Utah Jazz
Note: Jazz return home n Game Three of their series with the Lakers off back-to-back double digit losses knowing they own the best home court record in the NBA this season. That sets the table for tonight's game as home teams in game Three of a playoff series off back-to-back double digit losses in the first two games are 14-4 ATS if they scored 87 or more points in the last game and have won 24 or more home games this season. Utah just also happens to be 14-4 ATS (16-2 SU) at home in the playoffs off back-to-back losses. Look for the Jazz to take full advantage of its strong homecourt this evening.
We recommend a 4-unit play on Utah.

10* LA Lakers/Utah UNDER
Doc's AFL
4 Unit Play. Take Under 115 ½ in Orlando @Cleveland
Both teams are coming off impressive performances but we think that the Predators defense will keep the scoring in the fifties and thus set up a strong play for the under. Orlando held the defending AFL champions to just 35 points last week and the Gladiators keep the best team in the league to just 55 points. That will be the winning scoring in this contest, 55 points and we do not worry about who gets it and just collect with the under.
4 Unit Play. Take Over 101 ½ in Columbus @ Kansas City
Both of these teams will not be making the playoffs, but this posted total is way too low considering how weak the Brigade defense has been this season. Kansas City is currently 15th in the league allowing over sixty points per game. The Destroyers have a decent QB in Matt Nagy and he should be able to reach sixty points per game and thus the over is the proper side to consider. He already has 43 touchdowns on the season and after playing Dallas last week, they are ready to light-up the scoreboard on Sunday.
4 Unit Play. Take Under 117 ½ in Philadelphia @ Georgia
The Soul are coming off their first loss of the season and it will be interesting to see how they respond given the rash of injuries that they are currently saddled with. Georgia still have a defensive minded coach in Doug Plank and the Soul have given up more the fifty points just six times in their last ten games. With WR Chris Jackson set to make his return to Georgia, you can bet that the Force defense is going to want to put a hurt on him, even if it comes after the whistle.

Cincinnati Reds vs. New York Mets
Tonight the New York Mets host the Cincinnati Reds at shea stadium. Starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey for the New York Mets looks to go 3-2 tonight and lower his 5.3 ERA. With the New York defense this should not be much of a problem. Cincinnati starting pitcher Matt Belisle is currently 1-2 with a 6.9 ERA. As explosive as the New York Mets offense is this year look for Belisle to have problems early on.
