Free NBA Pick: Phoenix SunsJim Feist
Phoenix may have lost Shaq in the offseason, creating a lot of headlines, but there is still plenty of talent on this team in Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire Jason Richardson and Barbosa off the bench. They are fresh and ready to run, their style, and catch a break here against a rebuiling Clipper team playing the second of a back to back spot, battling the Lakers last night. LA has problems with No. 1 pick Blake Griffin out several weeks. Play the Phoenix Suns!

Free NBA Pick: Charlotte Bobcats +11Jeff Alexander
I’ll take the Bobcats catching double digit points tonight as they will be the fresher team. Boston is coming off a big win over Lebron James and company in Cleveland last night and I’m expecting a bit of a letdown from the C’s here as it will be hard to get up for the Bobcats the same way. Charlotte has played Boston tough consistently over the past 2 seasons, going just 2-5 SU but 6-1 ATS, including a perfect 3-0 ATS mark in Boston. The average spread in these 7 games saw Boston favored by 9.5 points, but the Celtics have only won by an average of 3 points in these contests. I’ll take the Bobcats and the points here.

Free NBA Pick: Houston Rockets +7Rocky Atkinson
Golden State is 2-8 ATS last 3 years as a home favorite of 6 1/2 to 9 points. Houston is 36-13 SU overall vs Golden State since 1996 including 20-5 SU at Golden State since 1996. Houston has won 6 of 8 meetings with Golden State the past 3 years. Warriors are 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 vs. NBA Southwest. Warriors are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 Wednesday games. Warriors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Warriors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. Warriors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Warriors are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5. Warriors are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. Underdog is 22-9 ATS in the last 31 meetings. We’ll recommend a small play on Houston tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Denver Broncos vs. Baltimore Ravens Pick, Odds & Point Spread: November 1st 2009

Denver Broncos vs. Baltimore Ravens
Free NFL Pick: Denver Broncos +160 odds – point spreads

DEN +160: Can we say destiny? This is the Broncos year and with this great defense why play against them. Baltimore used to play very similar to this Denver team with great defense and taking advantage of TO’s. This Ravens team has changed from a great defense to an average defense. Instead they are now an offensive team that needs to score 21 plus points to win. Not good as DEN does not give up points and this one will be played in the low teens. Too good of value to pass up on a Denver team that believes they are the best in the league and are out to prove it. SCORE DEN 16 – BALT 13

Hope everybody has been on Craig Trapp’s plays the last week as he is up over $6k for his dime players. Even better he hit his GAME OF YEAR with GTECH this past weekend. Craig’s top 5 star plays are 8-1 and this week Craig is going to keep it rolling. Get in now and buy a weekly package, save big win big! GUARANTEED

Ohio State vs. New Mexico State Betting Odds, Pick & Point Spread: October 31st 2009

Ohio State vs. New Mexico State
Free Pick: New Mexico State +44.5 -110 odds – point spreads
Visit Touthouse.com for more NCAA football betting picks from Alex Smart

The New Mexico State Aggies will travel halfway across the country on Saturday afternoon for an early high noon kickoff against the #15 Ohio State Buckeyes. The oddsmakers have hung a huge number in this game, and even though the Aggies have been absolutely atrocious this year, there are plenty of great reasons to believe that they can stick in front of this number.

HC DeWayne Walker knows that his squad has very little chance of winning this game, but it has already pulled outright upsets against New Mexico and Utah State this year as double-digit underdogs. The offense ranks dead last in America, averaging just 254.6 yards per game, but if there’s one thing that the Aggies try to do, it’s establish the running game. Situations like this are key for underdogs of this magnitude, because the fewer possessions that the favored team has, the better chances the pups have of covering. Even though the rush defense for NMSU is pretty lousy as well (197.1 yards per game), the team does rank 28th in the nation against the pass (182.9 yards per game). It’s not like Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor has done much to scare the opposition this season, so if there are going to be quick strikes for the visitors, the points are going to have to come from the defense, the rushing game, or special teams.

The first question that has to be asked when you’re looking at a 40+ point spread is whether or not the favored team really has the ability to score that many points in a game. Last week’s 38-point outburst against Minnesota tied a season-best for the Buckeyes, so it is still very unclear whether or not they have the capacity to cover this number even if they can pitch a shutout. The offense for OSU ranks 101st in the country in passing the football (181.2 yards per game), and only 78th in total yards (353.2 yards per game). It’s not like the Bucks have played nothing but powerhouses either. Sure, USC and Wisconsin both have great defenses, but aside from that, no one that Ohio State has faced this year is even guaranteed to be a bowl team.

There’s another key factor in this game that is often overlooked by sports bettors. Check out the scheduling here for the Buckeyes. Two weeks ago they were beaten by Purdue. Last week, they rebounded from that with the big 38-7 victory over Minnesota. Take a look at who’s on the horizon… That’s right, the trip to Penn State is next week, and HC Jim Tressel has to be far more concerned with the Nittany Lions than he is with the Aggies. Last year in a very similar spot, the Buckeyes only beat Ohio 26-14 as 33.5-point favorites with the USC Trojans up the following week.

The Buckeyes are just 2-4 ATS in their L/6 out-of-conference regular season affairs and just 1-4 ATS in their L/5 games against teams with a losing record. Without a doubt, Ohio State is going to prove to be victorious on Saturday. However, the final score should be much closer than the oddsmakers anticipate. Book it!!!

Play on: New Mexico State Aggies

New Orleans Hornets vs. San Antonio Spurs Betting Odds & Pick: October 28th 2009

New Orleans Hornets vs. San Antonio Spurs
Free NBA Pick: San Antonio Spurs -8.5 (-110 betting odds)

visit Touthouse.com for more NBA basketball betting picks from LT Profits

The home teams have dominated the head-to-head series between the New Orleans Hornets and the San Antonio Spurs, going 11-2 against the spread in the last 13 meetings, and we look for the home standing Spurs to continue that dominance heee.

Now this spread may seem a tad high at first glance, but keep in mind that not only are the Spurs 6-0 straight up and 5-1 ATS in the last six encounters here in San Antonio, but they have won those games vs. Chris Paul and Company by an impressive +13.2 points per game.

It seems that hosting one of the best point guards in the game in Paul usually beings out the best in Tony Parker and the recent results bear that out. Also keep in mind that while San Antonio is a year older, they did make some great off season acquisitions in Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess and Theo Radcliff.

Now, while that does not necessarily make the Spurs younger, it does add quality depth that should make the whole team more effective with veterans playing limited minutes, as all of these players have been effective starters in their careers. Also, drafting DeJuan Blair of Pittsburgh with pick number 37 may turn out to be outright thievery.

Now the Hornets were considered a disappointment last season, as they were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets. Their biggest move during the summer was trading Tyson Chandler for Emeka Okafor, and while that will help their rebounding, we are not quite sure Okafor can be a consistent scorer in this league.

Now do not get us wrong, we would not be surprised if the Hornets go a tad deeper in the playoffs this season. It is just that we do not like this opening matchup for them vs. an improved Spurs team at a venue where they have not had any success.

NBA Free Pick: Spurs -8.5 (-110)
