Georgia -6.5
This is one of those rare games where its worth the risk to play both the side and total in the same game. Texas A&M has such a bad defense that the Bulldogs should have no problem putting up close to 40 points today. If Georgia can score almost 28 pts per game against SEC defenses then they will have a field day today. Both defenses are really bad and we should expect a ton of offense tonight. Look for both teams to score enough points to put this OVER the total and look for Georgia to cash in with a decisive win. Take Georgia and the Over.

Phoenix (pick) for 2 Units
Good spot for Phoenix to get untracked after dropping last two at home; reason being, they get Barbosa back tonight. He was a key cog in the Suns hot start however, Phoenix went just 4-8 SU without him. And keep in mind the Lakers' goofy but talented Artest was instrumental in helping Los Angeles beat Phoenix November 12. He shouldn't play tonight after sustaining an elbow and head injury after falling down a flight of steps. The Suns are still 15-7 ATS at home and the home team in this series has gone 4-0 SU/ATS. With the Lakers a little banged up and playing in their 3rd game in as many days, 2-5 ATS followng a SU win, and 0-4 ATS on Mondays, we'll ride the Suns here, who are 5-1 ATS off a SU loss.

Boston Celtics @ Golden State Warriors
2* Under
UNDER-whelming series here, with FIVE of the last seven meetings 'going low' (and 3 of the last 4 played IN Golden State).
Boston played last night in Los Angeles and were SHOCKED by the Clippers. They laid -8.5 points on the road, and lost 92-90. With that game going UNDER, that's three in a row that have 'gone low' for the Beantown Bunch. Meanwhile, the WARRIORS are off a big home dog win on Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns. OU line in that game was a whopping 232 points... and the OVER hit by 27 points.
0-10 O/U so far in 2009: All NBA road teams playing with NO REST.... off a SU road favorite loss (Celtics).
3-12 O/U so far in 2009: All home teams after playing a game versus the Phoenix Suns (Warriors)... and a PERFECT 0-5 O/U if they BEAT Phoenix in that last game (Warriors).
3-9 O/U so far in 2009: All NBA teams who scored 130 or more points in their last game (Warriors)... and a PERFECT 0-3 O/U for all Underdogs.
1-9 O/U last 7 weeks: All NBA road favs of points (Celtics).
A big OU line swing for Boston. Last night's OU line was 190 vs the Clippers. Tonight, it's about 20 points MORE.
0-4 O/U so far in December: All NBA teams with an OU line of 210 > points... after a SU loss in which the OU line was 190 < points (Celtics).
0-5 O/U last 7 weeks: all NBA dogs of 6 < points playing off BB ATS wins... with the last game a home OUTRIGHT underdog win (Warriors).
In their history, BOSTON is 3-15 O/U as road favs of points..... and since 1995, the record is a PERFECT 0-6 O/U.

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears
Bet: Chicago Bears +8
Do I think the Bears are the better team? Of course not, but if the better team always won and covered the spread, the books would be out of business. We just saw the 2-12 Buccaneers go into New Orleans as 14-point dogs and upset the 13-1 Saints, so anything is possible. Anytime we have a divisional home dog getting more than a TD on Monday night, we have to take a good look at that home dog. The value definitely lies with the Bears. When these two teams met in Minnesota just a few weeks ago, the Vikings were a 10-point home favorite. Allowing three points for home field advantage, it would figure that the Bears would be a four-point dog tonight. But instead, we're getting more than a TD with Chicago. That's A LOT of value to ignore, especially for a team playing at home with same-season revenge against a division rival on a Monday night.
Brett Favre led the Vikings to a 10-1 start by throwing 24 touchdowns and three interceptions, but the 40-year-old has had three TDs and four interceptions in the three games since. That dropoff is eerily similar to his final five games with the New York Jets last season. Favre helped that team open 8-3, but the Jets missed the playoffs by dropping four of their final five as he totaled nine interceptions and two TDs. Minnesota played their first game in wintry conditions last Sunday night and Carolina easily handled them, 26-7. The wind will be a lot stronger and the temperature a lot colder tonight in Chicago. And I have to believe that, although they have no shot at the playoffs, the Bears will be plenty motivated to: 1) avenge that 36-10 loss at Minnesota from a few weeks ago; and 2) keep the Vikings from earning a first-round bye or possibly even home-field advantage. The value clearly lies with the Bears tonight. Grab the points with Chicago.
