WUNDERDOG

Phoenix at Columbus
4 Units UNDER 5.5 -130

The Phoenix Coyotes have been getting a great job from behind the net of late, and have limited opponents to just 19 goals, under two per contest over their last 10. The Blue Jackets have produced just 19 goals in their last eight games and an even worse five in their last three. The Coyotes are playing way under the total vs. an opponent who scored two or less in their last outing as they have turned in a 19-6-1 mark to the UNDER in that situation. They have also played UNDER to the tune of a 37-16-2 mark overall in their last 55 games. The Blue Jackets are on the short side of the total when posted as a home favorite, turning in a 15-7 mark in their last 22 to the UNDER. These teams make the script complete as they have played UNDER in the last four meetings. The UNDER gets the nod in this one.

Pittsburgh at Philadelphia
3 Units Pittsburgh -110

The Penguins have been on the better side of nine of their last 12 games and are playing very well. They are in a great spot in two different ways for this one as they are an amazing 10-1 in their last 11 as a road favorite, as well as 17-4 in their last 21 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. The Flyers are below the .500 mark and are not playing well on the season and were destroyed in their last game by these same Penguins 6-1. The Flyers, with just 14 goals in their last nine games, and when you consider they scored six in one of them, they have tallied just eight in the other eight games. It’s hard to win against one of the NHL's premier teams scoring once per game, I'm going with the Penguins here.

Dallas at Atlanta
4 Units Dallas +110

The Atlanta Thrashers started out playing well at home, but have a losing record in their last seven played here. The problem has been behind the net as they have allowed three goals per game during the last seven games on home ice. The Thrashers have played to the level of their competition as they are 1-4 vs. teams with a road winning percentage of .400 or less, and 2-6 when facing an opponent that allowed five or more goals in their last game. The Stars are in the fourth game of the road trip and will be glad to land here. They are 10-1 in their last 11 vs. the Thrashers, including winning the last five times they have come in here. I'll go with Dallas in this one.

Dallas at Atlanta
5 Units Dallas +1.5 -270

This is a tremendous opportunity on the puckline. Dallas has all but owned the Thrashers as they have taken 10 of the last 11 when these teams have squared off. In Atlanta, they have swept the Thrashers five straight times. Getting a goal and a half in this situation is value-laden even at this high price. I'll go with Dallas on the puckline.

New York Rangers at New York Islanders
3 Units New York Rangers -120
4 Units UNDER 5.5 -125

The Islanders had their run, but overall remain a poor team. They really have had a tough time finding the net as they have scored just 19 times in their last 10 games, under two per contest, and just 26 in their last 13. The Rangers are in a similar spot scoring just 11 in their last seven, and were beaten at home by the Islanders last night 2-1. I expect the Rangers to reverse that decision tonight as they are 13-6 in their last 19 as a road favorite, while the Islanders are a dreadful 4-17 when they play the second game of consecutive nights. I like this one to go UNDER, and I'll back the Rangers here to exact revenge.

Nashville at Edmonton
3 Units Nashville -110

Nashville was off to a horrible start that saw them drop six straight, and seven of eight, but have been on a tear since. They have come out on the right side of 17 of their last 24 games, including four of their last five played on the road. Edmonton is not a good team and their five-game streak without a loss came to an end last time out. I would them to be on the down cycle now, especially with Nashville coming in as the Oilers are a putrid 3-12 at home vs. a team with a winning road record. The Predators are 11-2 in their last 13 against Edmonton and that includes 5-1 in Edmonton. I'll go with Nashville here.

Anaheim at San Jose
3 Units UNDER 5.5 -110

The Sharks have produced eight UNDERs in their last 12 games at home when the total is posted at 5.5 or more. Lately the offense has been down as they have managed just 10 goals in their past five games. The Ducks have now played nine of their last 12 on the road with a posted total of 5.5 or more to the UNDER. Site specific, these teams have now combined to produce 17 of 24 to the UNDER, or 71% of the time. The Ducks have upped the ante for the UNDER as they have played to a 12-3-1 mark in their last 16 after a win. The Sharks are 30-14-7 to the UNDER in their last 41 against the Pacific, and these teams are 17-4-5 to the UNDER in their last 26 meetings! I'll go with the UNDER here.

Opinion

Weber State (+13) over UNLV

UNLV's win over Arizona and Louisville aren't actually that impressive given how mediocre the Wildcats and Cardinals are, but those two wins over marquee teams appear to be contributing to UNLV being overrated. The Rebels are a good defensive team, but they have problems shooting the ball (27% on 3-pointers) and my ratings favor UNLV by just 9 points in this game based on this year's games. I certainly don't mind backing a Weber State team that is 56-30 ATS under coach Randy Rahe.

Coach K

0.5* Jags ML +160
2* Jags 1st half +3
2* Jags +3.5 (buy the half if you need to, but wait on this)

2* Blazers -1.5
2* Magic -4

3* Ga Southern/Evansville under 140 (totals have been pretty bad so far, but it does qualify as a 3*)
This play did not get texted out and now is currently sitting between 135.5-137. I have a predicted total of 133-135. I would play this for 2* at 138.5 (if it climbs back up) and 1* at 137-138. 136.5 and under would be a no play for me.

2* Troy -11
2* Auburn +9.5
2* E. Washington +17

Mark Meyer

5* Colts vs jaguars UNDER 43.5

5* PORTLAND -1.5

Andrew Tills

2* Tampa Bay/Detroit UNDER 5.5

2* NY Knicks +3 vs. Chicago Bulls
