Jim Feist's Comp NBA Pick, Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016 7:35 PM EST

(509) GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS VS (510) DETROIT PISTONS

Take: (510) DETROIT PISTONS

Reason: Your Bonus Play for Saturday, January 16, 2016 is in the NBA scheduled contest between the Warriors and the Pistons at Detroit. A pair of strong defensive teams clash and it's a high total. Detroit is No. 9 in the NBA at defending the three-pointer while Golden State is No. 1. The Pistons are home ranked No. 9 in points allowed and will look to control the pace with their strong rebounding ability. Golden State is 3,000 miles from home, their 5th road game in the last 7 contests. Everyone is gunning for the defending champs, as we saw in Denver this week, losing at the Nuggets. The Warriors are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games playing on one days rest. The Pistons are 18-7-1 ATS playing on one day of rest and on a 20-6-1 ATS run at home. Play the Pistons.

TCU vs Kansas

Bonus Play Kansas

TCU @ Kansas---For whatever reason, TCU went 3-0 ATS Kansas last year losing by 3, 5, and 9 points. However, Kansas is much better this season and TCU has only scored 48 and 54 points in their two road games in BIG 12 Play, losing by 28 and 21 points. Kansas has put up 100+ points in both of their BIG 12 home games this season. The Jayhawks are off a loss which I predicted earlier this week at West Virginia. This is a kill spot for them. Lay it and play it with Kansas.

UTEP vs Texas-San Antonio

Free CBB 75 DIMES STRIP CLUB MOVE Under

Utep is averaging 75 ppg, while Texas San Antonio averages just 68 points. Utep is coming into this game as a -5.5 point favorite. Utep has only put up 80 points or more in 6 games out of 17. This total should be 80-75 at the high.

Play the under here for today's winner.

Bucks vs Hornets

5* NBA Free Pick Milwaukee Bucks

This looks like a good spot to back the Milwaukee Bucks at Charlotte Saturday. The Hornets have lost eight of their last nine and suffered a 109-107 setback at New Orleans last night. The Bucks on the other hand have alternated wins and losses over their last six and defeated the Hawks home in Milwaukee 108-101 in OT last night. With both teams on a back-to-back we have a huge situational advantage for this young Milwaukee team who is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 games playing on no rest which can be compared to the Hornets 1-5 ATS in their last six in the back-end of a back-to-back. We can also note that the Bucks have covered the spread on each of their last four visits to Time Warner Cable Arena.

Packers vs Cardinals

NFL FREE WINNER: Green Bay Packers

Arizona beat Green Bay, 38-8 back in December. But this isn't the same Packers team. Green Bay got a big dose and an even bigger look at Arizona that game and will come in into this contest prepared. Aaron Rodgers has a ton of playoff experience while Carson Palmer has never won a post-season game. The GB ground game was non-existent but lately, Lacy, Starks, Cobb, and Rodgers have come alive and will keep the 'Zona defense honest. Despite all their stellar statistics, the Cardinals have crushed bettors at home this season. The Packers "D" held AP and the Vikings and then Kirk Cousins and the 'Skins. Green Bay is 8-3 ATS their L11 playoff games, 5-1 ATS their L6 road playoff games, 4-1 ATS their L5 overall. Arizona is 1-4 ATS their L5 games played in January, 1-5 ATS their L6 at home, and 1-5 ATS their L6 vs. teams with a winning record. Too many points to lay here. Take Green Bay. Thank you.

Bill Biles

Packers vs Cardinals

Free Pick Over 49.5

Both these teams have offenses that are capable of putting up 30 points. I think Carson Palmer and Aaron Rodgers both have huge games in this one and this will be the highest scoring game of the divisional round.

Heath Mac

Packers vs Cardinals

Free Pick Arizona Cardinals -7

We had the Cardinals playing in (and probably winning) the Superbowl from 8-10 weeks ago. We still think they are the best team in the country, just in front of the Panthers and Pats. All things going to plan, we should see a cracker of an NFC conference championship next week should Carolina and Arizona both get through. In the meantime, the Cards have the suddenly in form Packers visiting this weekend. If there is one way to go broke capping sports and NFL in particular, it is reacting to what happened last week with your next picks.

Prior to last week’s 35-18 win over the Redskins, the Packers looked in trouble. They’d put up just 21 points in total against the Vikings (13 points) and Cards (8 points). The secondary has remained solid, allowing just 20.2 ppg (ranked 12th) but the one time Superbowl favourites have struggled all season. In fact, they own the 31st ranked passing offense on the road, averaging just 184.9 yds per game. Against a fresh and potent Cardinal’s secondary that allows just 19.6 ppg (ranked 7th) and 209.1 ypg in the air at home (ranked 4th).

When we factor in the week’s rest for Arizona and the extent of sore and injured players for the Packers, this looks like a tough game for Green Bay. Arizona are putting up 30.8 ppg, ranked second in the nation behind Carolina and beat the Packers 38-8 just two weeks ago. It was one thing to put up 35 points against a pretty average Redskin’s secondary and hold their predictable offense to 18 points, but this is a whole different ball game. Although the free TD with the better QB is tempting, any way we look at it, we just cant see the Packers winning this one. Cards win this by 10 points.

Green Bay is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Arizona. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 match ups between these sides.

For our Free Pick Arizona Cardinals -7 points here.

Seton Hall vs Providence

Bonus Play Seton Hall

I'm recommending a play on Seton Hall plus the points on Saturday. The Pirates have dropped two straight, including losses to Villanova and Creighton. Seton Hall was hanging around at Villanova, trailing by 5-to-8 points until roughly seven minutes were left in the game. They did cover the spread, losing by nine, while getting 15 points. The Pirates played a decent brand of basketball on the defensive end, but couldn't overcome a big Wildcat advantage at the FT line. Seton Hall let the loss to the 'Cats beat them twice, looking worn out when Creighton rolled into town. But they have now had a week off and will catch Providence in a tough spot. The Friars have been a little shaky of late, losing to Marquette, before escaping Creighton, 50-48. Ed Cooley's squad not only had to fight back from a double digit deficit in Omaha, but now must try to stay focused with games against Butler, Xavier, and Villanova, following this one. Providence does not shoot well from the deep perimeter and Seton Hall does their best work on the defensive end. The Pirates also have five players averaging between 15.1 ppg and 8.4 ppg, led by Isaiah Whitehead. SHU also gets strong work on the glass from Angel Delgado and Ismael Sanogo, who can cause the mediocre rebounding Friars trouble in this one. And the Pirates have been "money" on the road against teams with a winning home record, covering 68% of their last 34 tries. I'm recommending a play on the Seton Hall Pirates plus the points. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
