4* Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are heating up going 6-2 ATS in their last eight games, and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss. The Philadelphia 76ers is also 5-2 ATS after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game while the Denver Nuggets is only 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. We look for the Philadelphia 76ers to grab the home ATS Win & cover tonight.

Baltimore Over (43) for 1.5 Units
This has the makings of a higher scoring game based on trends and personnel matchups. GB is 12-4 O/U as a home favorite while Baltimore is 8-2-1 O/U as a dog, 8-2 O/U on MNF, and 8-2 O/U for week #13. Both QBs Flacco and Rodgers are accurate with good numbers. Baltimore's Flacco has a solid supporting cast to continue to be productive on the road (21 ppg). The Ravens will look to exploit the youth of Jarrett Bush at nickel back and work their running game against the thinning defensive front of GB. The Packers, on the other hand, should have an easier time moving the football with a thin Baltimore secondary and without Terrell Suggs coming off the edge. A little value with the "over" tonight.

NBA Game of the Week
Portland at New York
Cheap line in our opinion on the visitor who will be playing their first of many without Greg Oden. The Blazers have dropped 3 of their last 4 decisions with the lone victory coming by a single point. But without Oden clogging up the offensive system the Blazers will be a better scoring squad in his absence. Portland has played just once in the past five days so they are the better rested club here. And considering they've dropped their past three games on the road we will venture that they will be the more focused squad.
New York beat the Nets yesterday 106-97 despite being outshot 531-506 in effective field goal percentage. That means New York had to fight harder than the Nets in all other aspects of the game in order to gain the victory. The Knicks played their starters 40 minutes yesterday and 82 minutes the past three days as New York is playing their third game in a four day span. Defensively New York is always a liability in fact the 531 shooting they surrendered to New Jersey yesterday was a Net season high. New Jersey had not produced an effective field goal shooting game of 500 or better all season.
With the Knicks being a tired bunch and the Blazers looking to make a statement we take advantage of a cheap number with the far better defensive squad.

Carolina @ Pittsburgh
Play: 3* Carolina +220
Sidney Crosby is questionable for this game tonight. If he doesn't play that give us a little added edge but I like the Hurricanes here tonight anyway. Hurricanes are 5-2 in their last 7 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. Manny Legace should be in goal for Carolina tonight. Legace had winning seasons in the past 2 years when he was with St Louis but is only 3-5 so far this year with Carolina. Legace, however, has had huge success against Pittsburgh with a perfect 3-0 record allowing only 4 goals in those 3 career games. We'll play Carolina for 3 units tonight!

5* College Basketball First-Half Winner (16-8)
Providence -10.5 (1st Half)
Providence beat Brown last year by 24 but led by 23 at the half. The score was 48-25. Providence just lost at Rhode Island on Saturday after leading by 14 at the half. The Friars should be excited to get back on the court and jump out to a big lead to a team that is outclassed.
As for Brown of the Ivy League, they just lost at Minnesota on Saturday night by 91-55. They were down by 51-20 at the half. That is a margin of 31 points.
For those who like to compare scores, Bryant led Brown earlier this year by 35-25 at the half. However, when Bryant played at Providence they were down 50-18 at the break. Providence also led Vermont by 30 (56-26) at the half.
It is possible that Brown will play well and bounce back from their bad loss on Saturday but I like Providence to jump out to an early lead of about 44-26 and win the first half play.

2 Units Jazz -2
We have an almost unheard of situation in the NBA late this evening as San Antonio is traveling outside their home state of Texas for the first time since way back in the beginning of November (11/6 to be exact). Already this season Utah is 2-0 against the Spurs and with a victory tonight can clinch a season-series for the first time in just over a DECADE. Due to a very tough schedule it would certainly be in Utah’s best collective interest to win this evening as this kicks off a stretch where they have to take the court 4 times in a 6 day stretch. Not only are the Jazz playing non-stop in the next week, they are facing the defending NBA champion Lakers twice in that stretch along with a contest against Orlando who is coming off an NBA Finals appearance. Odds are very strong that Utah will start this very difficult week of games on a positive note because San Antonio has lost 4 of the past 5 chances on the ROAD where the offense has shot a dreadful 29% from long range behind the arc. Utah just happens to be one of the league’s best shooting teams as they have on average nailed more than 49% of their attempts from the field I will admit the Jazz are coming off a horrible loss Saturday evening 108-101 against lowly Minnesota (3-17) who is the worst shooting contingent in the entire Western Conference. But that performance just happens to open the door to a whopping 80-PERCENT SYSTEM (27-7 past five years) which plays ON solid offenses like Utah off a game where the defense permitted an opponent to shoot at least 55% from the field. My database research also indicates that Utah is UNDEFEATED the past two years where it counts (8-0 ATS/HOME) versus solid rebounding opponents who win the battle of the boards by an average of at least 3 per contest. Do I hear 9-0 ATS anyone?!
