Hope someone sees this before the 1PM start time:
Josh Johnson against the Mets lifetime: W-L = 7-0 ERA = 2.30 IP = 58.2 in 9 career starts (average of 6+ IP per game) Only has given up 2 HRs lifetime against the Mets and has an insane WHIP of 1.091 On the flip side, if you've watched Santana this spring, he hasn't looked all that great.

Virginia Tech +13 Hey... Tech's beaten Duke while the Blue Devils have been ranked #4, #5, and #7... I'd be thrilled, but hardly surprised, if the Hokies add this #6 squad to that list tonight. Trust me, what you listed there as Va Tech wins aren't as impressive as you think they are. Look what Duke has done at home against their conference opponents. They are just a totally different team with the Cameron crazies down there. |

Really like the Over 212.5 in this game. GS is 4-0 on the Over against the Southeast Division and I believe it's gone over 8 of the last 9 in this series.
Plus both teams got a day off, it's a primetime game so I'm sure the players will be motivated. Over 212.5 |

Celts vs. Nuggets
Line: Nuggets -4 Analysis: The Celts have a 3 game road trip to come off the all-star break including a dominating win @ Portland. I know it seems like with Denver's great home record, and the fact they lost to Washington make the Nuggets seem like a good play. However, I think that the Celtics will be highly motivated to sweep the road trip. They come off of a blowout win, had a shorter trip into Denver than Denver did coming back from Washington. Difference on the Celts lately has been the shooting of Ray Allen. Situation: Both teams played back to back games and had a day off before this game. One Last Note: In addition, I like the fact that Nate Robinson isn't playing in this game so it does not throw off the Celts rhythm. Guess I gotta pick Boston one more time. Celts ML |

No long analysis on this one. To me, if the Celts have the energy from playing 3 games in 4 nights, match-up wise, they have a huge advantage in the backcourt. Rondo will blow by Andre Miller all night. He owns Andre Miller from his previous matchups against Philly. Look for Ray to run around a lot of screens tonight against Brandon Roy's bad hammy and knock down some 3s.
Let's roll the dice with the Celts for 2 nights in a row. Celts ML |

Trust me I live in the Philadelphia area (South Jersey) and I know this Sixers team inside and out.
I wouldn't bet on the game because I make it a rule to never bet my home teams but if I were to put $$ it would 100% DEFINITELY be on San Antonio. Philadelphia is absolutely reeling and people in the city are upset b/c they made no moves at the deadline. If it gets ugly in the 1st qtr tonight, watch for the fans to turn on the Sixers and for the Spurs to never look back. |

Having broken down this game quite a bit last night, this is the only game I will bet on today.
When you evaluate this game, you have to remember that this is a unique situation where these two teams are playing a non-conference game in the middle of their conference season. When you put the strength of conference for the CAA vs the MAAC, I feel as though Siena may be the best team in either league but the CAA has a lot more depth with teams like VCU, ODU, NE. Iona is 2nd in the MAAC but if you really break down their schedule, I'm not sure if they have beaten anyone of note to like them in this game. They lost both games to Siena by DD, lost @ UConn by 19, lost on neutral sites against Fla St. and Baylor. Their best win is @Providence probably since they haven't faced their own conference rivals, Fairfield and St. Peters on the road yet. Now, switch over to the Tribe and you see a completely different story. Yes, they are only tied for 3rd in the CAA. However, they are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last 4 games, beating the first place NE team @home recently, winning @George Mason, and earlier in the season, they have wins @Maryland and @Wake Forest. Their weakness is against teams with big frontcourt players because their rebounding is terrible (see games against ODU, VCU, UConn, etc.). However, Iona is just as worse as the Tribe so I don't believe Iona can take advantage of the Tribe's weakness. It should be a close game down the stretch so I will take the points. Usually when I bet a road dog, I'll take them SU because of value on the ML but in this case with the style of play, it may come down to the last possession so the +4 number looks really good. WMMRY +4 |

I'm just throwing some insights into the game for both sides. I will not be betting this game however because I usually only like to bet 1-2 games at max a day and there is a game out there I like better than this one. (WMMRY @ Iona)
Anyways, the Nuggets come into this game confident from their OT win @ Cleveland. Now, they have this lowly game against the Wiz @ Washington before having to fly home and take on the Celts. This is a classic sandwich situation which is the main reason for the reverse line movement.. If the Wiz had their normal players, I don't know if the line would be that much different (maybe +4), and I would take the Wiz. However, that isn't the case here which is why I'm concerned. All these trades and these new players coming in makes this a unique situation tonight. So all in all, if I picked a side, it would be the Wiz but for actually betting $$ on it, I'll stay away |

I definitely got lucky tonight with the Celts..Allen did play a good game but wow, the Lakers just show you how talented they are because I thought they were going to win this game down the stretch.

Man, these forum posts are getting worse and worse every day. I remember when good posts used to consist of at least a single reason of why one team will win/cover over another. For the veteran people who post on this site, is there another site such as this that has better posts?
Anyway, in this matchup, I will make a single unit bet on the Celts SU tonight. Why? Because in the last 3 matchups, with Kobe guarding Ray Allen and vice versa, Kobe has limited Ray to 16-45 shooting in the past 3 matchups (36% FG) mainly because of Kobe's length/height and Ray's limited game (he's mainly a catch & shoot guy now).. No diss on Shannon Brown who has played well but he just doesnt have the defensive game that Kobe has. Why does this matter? Because when Ray Allen is on, he opens up the floor for the driver (aka Rondo) and allows Pierce and Garnett to get 1-1 matchups. In addition, the Celts have the revenge factor from earlier this year where they dominated the middle part of that game and let the game slip away late. Don't feel like that's going to happen here. Boston ML |

I know Cal has been playing well over its last 3 especially with blowout wins HOME against Wash St. and Wash, but I really have liked how Oregon St. has played lately. They have covered 5 of their last 6 including 4 in a row as a dog. Now they are catching a 6 number, at home, and just played this cal team a couple of weeks ago only losing by 4 @ Cal.
OSU +6 |

Good slate of college and pro hoops out there tonight. A lot of intriguing lines but I decided to settle on this game.
The Bonnies have not covered a home game since November, meanwhile, the Owls are tied for the A-10 lead and need this game on the road to remain at the top of the conference. Before the Bonnies had covered the 16 number last time out (by only 2 pts), Temple had covered 8 in a row against this team. Temple -6.5 |

I just believe that Wake Forest has played a tougher schedule and they are right in the middle of the ACC race. This is VTech's most difficult game to date and they are asked to cover a 6 number. I'll take Wake Forest plus the points.

Don't know if Tennessee can keep up with Kentucky but I see this as a sloppy uptempo game. Best to take a look at the O/U line where I think this line is wayyy to high.

Something tells me that the Spurs win this game outright tonight. Double revenge, 2 days off, Denver coming off a blowout win. All those factors and the Spurs need this game more.

This is one of my favorite bowl games of the year. The Pac-10 top to bottom is a better conference than the ACC. The players are faster, the skills and the talent are much better in the Pac-10. Pete Carroll is great in bowl games because if you give him a few weeks to prepare, he will dissect your team. I see BC having a lot of trouble scoring as well. Overall, I see this game as a double digit win for USC. Maybe something like 24-7 USC.
USC -7.5 |

Not a great game here to bet here. Since I'm in a contest to bet all bowl games this year, I laid a 1 unit bet on OSU -2.5.
The motivation factor worries me a bit with OSU because of the fact that they lost a heartbreaking game to their rival Oregon for a bid to the Rose Bowl. But Mike Riley is a good coach with a good bowl record and I think he'll get the most out of his players. Plus, the QB for OSU Sean Canfield can play. If anyone watched the OSU-Oregon game, you came out impressed by this kid's play. Small play but OSU -2.5 |

West Virginia is giving up an alarming 200+ yards per game on the ground in their last 3. Pitt comes into WV with a powerful running attack and the better qb in the game.
I understand the rivalry of this game has made the game close in the past so I'm not surprised by the small line. But Pitt will find a way to win this ballgame. Can't wait til next week when it's Cinci @ Pitt for the Big East championship. Should be a great matchup. Pitt -2 |
