Week 16 NFL Football Betting Preview: December 22nd 2010
Click here for expert NFL betting picks from ATS Consultants

We are down to the final two weeks of the NFL regular season and only one of the eight divisions and four of the 12 playoff spots have been claimed. Chicago wrapped up the NFC North with a win over Minnesota on Monday night and New England, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta all secured a spot in the postseason.

Several more spots should be clinched this week as there are a number of teams that can get in with a win. Pittsburgh is already in, but needs a win over Carolina on Thursday night to maintain its edge over Baltimore in the AFC North. Both teams are tied at 10-4, but the Steelers hold the tiebreaker should they remained tie. They are a 14 ½-point home favorite against the Panthers and the ‘over/under’ is set at 37.

An early Sunday showdown pits New York (Jets) against Chicago in a game that is vitally important to both teams. The 10-4 Jets need a win to ensure a wildcard spot in the AFC, while the 10-4 Bears need a win to hold onto the No. 2 seed in the NFC. This game is currently listed as a ‘pick’ and the over/under is set at 36 ½.

San Francisco is 5-9 but still alive in the NFC West title picture with a chance to improve its position with a win over 6-8 St. Louis. The Rams are tied with Seattle in a division that someone has to win regardless of their final record. St. Louis is a 1 ½-point home favorite and the ‘over/under’ is set at 39 ½. The Seahawks are in Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers as a 6 ½-point road underdog.

Indianapolis can come a step closer to clinching another AFC South title with a win over Oakland. The 8-6 Colts are tied with Jacksonville but hold the edge in a tiebreaker. The Jaguars are a seven-point home favorite against Washington in an earlier game, while Indianapolis is a three-point road favorite over the Raiders in this late afternoon start.

The feature matchup of the late games pits New York (Giants) at Green Bay with a wildcard spot on the line for both teams. The 9-5 Giants will quickly need to put last week’s monumental collapse to Philadelphia behind to get a win over an 8-6 Packers’ team that has lost three out of their last four games. The line is still OFF on this game, but Green Bay expects to have QB Aaron Rodgers back which should make it a slight favorite.

The 10-4 Eagles huge come-from-behind victory over New York puts them in a position to clinch the NFC East with a win over Minnesota on Sunday night. The line on this game is currently OFF most likely due to Viking QB Brett Favre’s status, but he remains doubtful after suffering a concussion in Monday night’s loss.

The NFL saved the best for last this week with 11-2 Atlanta hosting 10-4 New Orleans on Monday night with the NFC South title hanging in the balance. The Falcon can lose this game and still win the division, but the Saints are looking to avoid dropping two games in a row after last week’s loss to Baltimore. Atlanta is a 2 ½-point favorite and the ‘over/under’ line is set at 48 ½.

NBA Basketball Picks: December 22nd 2010

Pick: San Antonio Spurs -7
At 8:35 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Spurs minus the points over Denver. These two teams met last week in the Mile High City and, in one of the year’s best games, San Antonio emerged victorious 113-112 when superstar Manu Ginobili hit a twisting layup through two Nugget defenders with 7 seconds left to give the Spurs the lead, and then stepped in front of a driving Carmelo Anthony to take a charge with 1 second left in the game to seal the win. Although Denver will be out for revenge tonight, it will have a difficult time snapping San Antonio’s 9-game win streak. The Spurs also lead the league with a 24-3 record, and are 16-10-1 ATS this season, including 14-6-1 ATS outside the division. San Antone is also 37-16 ATS vs. Denver when favored by 11 points or less (or PK), and we’ll ride the red-hot Spurs on Wednesday. Good luck, as always…Al McMordie. And don’t miss my 10* College Football Game of the Year at Covers Experts. It’s available now, and is backed by 38-0 ATS winning angles. I’m a documented 43-16 on my Top College Football Plays (by The Sports Monitor) since Dec. 2001, and this play will be the easiest winner yet. -Big Al McMordie

Pick: Chicago Bulls -2.5
The Bulls are coming off a blowout win last night so don’t expect them to be tired in this back to back. Washington finally got rid of Arenas in the big trade getting back Lewis. Lewis is not a great fit for this team as he really is a one dimensional spot up shooter. Look for CHI hot play to continue as they have 5 of last 6 ATS and 8 of last 9 straight up. Enjoy the free NBA winner. -Craig Trapp

Pick: Nuggets vs. Spurs Over 213
Two of the Top 4 teams in the NBA in scoring meet here. Denver is No. 3 in offense with 107.3 ppg, an uptempo style on a 4-0-1 run over the total. san Antonio has been amazing all season, bombing away from three-point land with a ton of offensive options, No. 4 in the NBA in scoring, tops in three-point shooting. These teams just met 6 days ago and the game went over the total and the Spurs are on a 3-0 run over the total. Look for an offensive show, Play the Nuggets/Spurs Over the total. -Jim Feist

Pick: New Jersey Nets +8.5
With the new additions, the Nets are starting to form a competitive team. They have won and covered 3 of the last 4 games including a straight up road victory in Memphis last night. New Jersey is now 6-1 ATS on the season in the second game of a back to back situation. Defensively they have held six straight opponents to less than 100 points. This is a team we are looking to back right now. New Orleans started the season on fire winning eight straight. But just about all that positive energy is out the window. The Hornets have dropped 11 of the last 16 and recently they are finding new ways to lose. Two games ago they blew a double digit halftime lead and lost in overtime to Detroit. Last time out they mounted a big comeback only to lose on a tip-in at the buzzer. This is a squad playing with no confidence right now and see’s their once promising season going down the drain. PLAY NEW JERSEY -Bryan Leonard

College Basketball Picks: December 22nd 2010

Pick: Oregon state -5.5
I’m laying the points with Oregon State on Wednesday night. Illinois-Chicago had the Horizon League’s worst offense last season and it has carried over to this season as the Flames have had several games where they have shot around 30 percent and overall are at 42 percent for the season. Senior guard Robo Kreps leads the team in scoring and assists. UIC already has road losses at Northern Illinois and Illinois State and now go the West Coast to face Oregon State which is 26-11 ATS its last 37 games overall. The Flames scored a major upset with a win over Illinois on Saturday which puts them solidly in a letdown situation. Coach Craig Robinson won the College Basketball Invitational his first season at the helm but the Beavers fell to 14-18 in 2009-10. OSU has been inconsistent this season, however, senior guard Calvin Haynes is looking to get his teammates more involved in the offense. The Beavers mostly play a zone defense which doesn’t bode well for UIC’s tendency for bad shooting nights. Oregon State is 13-5 ATS in non-conference games and we’ll lay the points with the home team in this matchup. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer

Pick: Harvard +13.5
This Harvard club is your better than average Ivy League team. They enter tonight with a 7-2 record. In their last 5 games Harvard is averaging 76.0 PPG and shooting a robust 48% from the field. The Crimson is also shooting a very good 39.2% from beyond the three-point line for the season. Connecticut is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games versus team that shoot 72% or better from the free throw line. Although the Huskies are a very good defensive team their one weakness is Harvard’s strength offensively and that’ s defending the three-point line. The Huskies have allowed opponents to shoot 38.9% from the field from beyond the three-point line. Jim Calhoun is 11-28 ATS in career home games as coach of the Huskies following BB home SU wins by 10 or more points. Play on Harvard plus the points as my free selection of the night. -Ross Benjamin

Illinois Chicago vs. Oregon State
NCAA Basketball Pick: Oregon State -5.5 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert NCAA basketball picks from Tom Stryker

After dropping four straight to Valparaiso, Akron, Illinois State and Northern Illinois, Illinois Chicago stunned a number of college basketball fans when they took 17 points from Illinois on Saturday inside the United Center in Chicago and won outright 57-54. Rest assured, the Flames will quickly come back to reality here.

Finding motivation for this contest won’t be a problem for the Beavers. Last year, OSU was a four-point favorite at UIC and lost a heart-breaker at the buzzer 63-61! Flames guard Robo Kreps was the one that nailed the last second shot in that stunning victory.

Defensively, the Beavers are a bunch of bandits. Oregon State is ranked second in the nation in steals averaging 11.9 per game. Illinois Chicago better take care of the basketball here. If the Flames don’t, OSU will make them pay in a hurry. Offensively, Oregon State is led by a pair of seniors. Guard Calvin Haynes is averaging 12.0 points per game while forward Omari Johnson is good for an average of 11.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per battle. Sophomore guard Jared Cunningham is helping as well posting an average of 12.5 points per game.

Technically speaking, the OSU Beavers have played well inside Gill Coliseum against non-conference foes. According to my college basketball database, State is a profitable 19-9 ATS when priced as a home underdog or favorite of -6′ or less provided they’re matched up against a team outside the Pac 10. Off back-to-back straight up losses in this role, the Beavers improve to a nearly perfect 6-1 ATS!

Under the direction of first-year head coach Howard Moore, UIC is suffering a few growing pains running a version of the Wisconsin “swing” offense. Off that monster upset, the Flames will have trouble against this revved up Beaver bunch that wants their revenge. Take Oregon State. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

BOISE STATE BRONCOS VS. UTAH UTES
Point Spread: Boise State is currently set as a 17 point favorite against Utah with the games over/under betting total posted at 60 points. (Game Date: December 22nd 2010)

No. 19 Utah (10-2) vs No. 11 Boise State (11-1) – Utah won their last game by a score of 17-16 on their home field against BYU. They did not cover the point spread in that match as 7.5 point favorites and the combined final score of 33 points stayed below the posted total. In their last affair, Boise State, won by a score of 50-14 at home against Utah State. They did not, however, cover the spread as a 40.5 point chalk and the combined score of 64 points went over the posted college football betting total.

NCAA Basketball Picks for December 21st 2010
CLICK HERE FOR EXPERT NCAA BASKETBALL BETTING PICKS

Pick: USC +7.5
At 7 pm, our complimentary selection is on the USC Trojans plus the points over Tennessee. Bruce Pearl’s Volunteers had a big win earlier this month when they went into the Steel City and upset Pittsburgh. But the Vols have stumbled lately, with losses in their last two games. First, they fell at home to the Golden Grizzlies of Oakland University. And then they lost as double-digit road favorites to the Charlotte 49ers. They’ll try to get off the schneid tonight at home vs. USC, but covering this number may be difficult. Consider that, since 1990, .584 (or better) home faves of -7 or more points are 43-70 ATS vs. .521 (or better) foes, if our home team is off 2+ losses, with the most recent defeat coming as a road favorite. Last year, the Trojans blasted Tennessee 77-55 as 10.5 point underdogs. Don’t be surprised if history repeats itself tonight. Take the Trojans + the points. Good luck, as always…Al McMordie. And don’t miss our NBA play tonight, as we go for our 10th straight winner in Pro Basketball. And also don’t miss our huge College Football Game of the Year. It’s available right now. -Big Al McMordie

Pick: San Diego State -22
I’m laying the points with San Diego State on Tuesday. San Francisco (5-7) has seven freshmen and just one senior on its roster. The Dons already have endured blowout losses to Washington (80-52), Louisville (61-35) and Montana State (76-59). Moustapha Diarra (the lone senior) has a presence in the post and Michael Williams is the leading scorer with 15 points per contest. San Diego State (12-0) suffered a flu outbreak which resulted in a six-point win as a 26-point favorite over Cal Poly. Obviously, all is well now as the Aztecs blew out a decent UC Santa Barbara team by a 90-64 score on Saturday. The Aztecs play under the radar in the TV-deprived Mountain West Conference but they should be considered one of the best teams in the country. Four players average double figures led by Kawhi Leonard with 16 points per game. SDSU is shooting a blistering 50 percent from the field with a defense that allows only 60 points per game. This game is being played in a 4,500 seat arena at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas. I’m laying the points with the Aztecs on Tuesday night. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer

Pick: Louisiana Tech +12.5
On Tuesday the Free NCAAB Play is on LA. Tech. Game 727 at 8:00 eastern. Iowa is not as good as in years past. They come into this one with some negative angles going against them. The Hawkeyes are 1-4 straight up and ats this year after allowing 60 or less points and 11-24 after scoring 60 or less points the past few years. When they play as a home favorite from -9.5 to -12 they are a mediocre 5-12 ats. LA. Tech has been a dependable road team covering the spread 5 of the last 6 times as a road dog from 9.5 to 12. In fact they are 4-4 on the road this season and are scoring and allowing 74 points per game. Best of all is their solid spread record vs teams with a winning record. They are 26-10 ats the past few years. Look for them to get the cover tonight. On Tuesday the lead plays are a Triple System Bowl Game of the week and a big 26-2 NCABB Power play that has a 100% Angle. For the free play take LA. Tech plus all those points. -Rob Vinciletti

Eastern Kentucky vs. Tennessee State
Pick: Eastern Kentucky +2 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert college basketball picks from Matt Fargo

Eastern Kentucky won 20 games last season including 11 in the conference and with three starters back, expectations are high once again. The Colonels were not expected to have such a good season last year but the emergence of forward Justin Stommes turned them into a tough out. They are coming off a blowout loss at Austin Peay on Saturday, losing by 27 points to drop to 0-3 on the road. The quick turnaround is a big benefit here and at 1-2, this is turning into a big game.

Tennessee St. meanwhile is coming off a win Sunday over Morehead St. in overtime to make it four straight wins following a five-game losing streak. It was a big home underdog in that game as it took out Morehead St., one of the top teams in the Ohio Valley Conference and that spells letdown here. The Tigers were picked to finish middle of the pack in the OVC so they have been playing above their heads so far. I do not see that continuing.

Part of the reason is the shooting differentials which will swing back around here. Tennessee St. shot an improbable 61.9 percent in the second half against the Eagles to force the overtime and eventual win while Eastern Kentucky had a miserable night from long range against Austin Peay as it went 3-18 (16.7 percent) from behind the arc, marking the team’s worst three-point shooting percentage since shooting 13.0 percent (3-23) in a loss at Tennessee Tech in 2007.

Eastern Kentucky also falls into two solid situations. Play against home favorites or picks that are coming off a home conference win going up against an opponent coming off a road loss by 20 points or more. This situation is 94-46 ATS (67.1 percent) over the last five seasons. Also, play on underdogs that are coming off a road loss scoring less than 60 points, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .400 and .499. This situation is 34-11 ATS (75.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 3* Eastern Kentucky Colonels

NFL Football Betting Recap for Week 15: December 21st 2010
Click here for expert NFL betting advice from ATS Consultants

It took 15 weeks of games, but the playoff picture in the NFL became much clearer after the final gun on Monday night’s game. New England and Pittsburgh have clinched a berth in the AFC while Atlanta and Chicago are in from the NFC. There is a very good chance that these four teams will go on to lock up the top two seeds in each conference. Indianapolis, Kansas City, and Philadelphia have the inside track at winning their division and Seattle and St. Louis will battle it out for the NFC West.

The New York Jets and Baltimore, in the AFC, and New Orleans and the New York Giants, in the NFC will most likely be the four wildcard teams so the only thing left to decide over the next two weeks in who plays who once the postseason begins.

The most spectacular game last week was between two division rivals who have a long history of fantastic finishes. The Eagles overcame a 21 point deficit with less than eight minutes to play to pull out a 38-31 win over the Giants on a last second punt return for a score by DeSean Jackson. The win gave Philadelphia the season sweep and a two-game lead in the NFC East at 10-4. New York closed as a three-point home favorite and the total went ‘over’ the 46 point total.

Indianapolis put an end to all the rumors of an early demise by thumping Jacksonville 34-24 to regain control of the AFC South. Both teams are now tied at 8-6, but the Colts have the edge in tiebreakers so they are guaranteed to win the division if they beat Oakland and Tennessee in their final two games. Indy closed as a five-point home favorite against the Jaguars and the total went well ‘over’ the 48 ½ point line.

Kansas City rolled to a 27-13 win over St. Louis as a three-point road underdog to raise its record to 9-5; taking one step closer to clinching the AFC West. The Chiefs lead San Diego in the division by a game and can clinch with wins over Tennessee and Oakland at home where they are 6-0 this season.

The New York Jets snapped a two-game losing streak with a gutsy 22-17 win over Pittsburgh in a game they closed as a six-point road underdog. The total went ‘over’ the 36 point line. The Jets still trail New England by two games in the AFC East, but the win helped solidify their position in the wildcard race.

Baltimore came away with a huge 30-24 win over New Orleans as a 1 ½-point home favorite with the total going way ‘over’ the 43 ½ point line. The win kept the 10-4 Ravens’ AFC division hopes alive but Pittsburgh, which is also 10-4, still has the edge in tiebreakers.

St. Louis and Seattle will go into the final two weeks of the season at 6-8 and still tied for the lead in the NFC West after both teams lost on Sunday. The Rams lost to Kansas City while the Seahawks lost to the Falcons 34-18 as a six-point home underdog. The total went ‘over’ the 45 ½ point line. This division will most likely be resolved when these two teams play one another in Week 17.

From a betting standpoint, nine road teams won against the spread and 10 games went ‘over’ the total. Seven dogs covered as well with five teams winning their game outright. Detroit covered the biggest spread, beating Tampa Bay 23-20 as a 6 ½-point road underdog. It was the Lions first SU win on the road in over three years.
