NBA Smash

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Play: Portland -6

20 Units, Take Portland ATS, Portland is the superior team here tonight and both Brandon Roy and Steve Blake struggled last game which was a 15 loss on the road to the Spurs so I look for them to bring their "A" Game tonight. Minnesota has allowed over 100 points per game in their last 9 and they are just 1-8 during that stretch. The Timberwolves have struggled with the loss of their leading scorer and rebounder Al Jefferson. It will not get any easier for Minnesota tonight against a good Portland team that almost beat the same Houston team on the road (in their second last game) that the Cavaliers just got blown out by last night. Minnesota is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team that has a losing record on the road and they are just 8-19 ATS in their last 27 home games. Take Portland who is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against the Timberwolves as my NBA Smash for Friday Night.

Los Angeles +3.10 over DETROIT (REG) PINNACLE

The Red Wings are the cream of the crop once again and it says here that barring significant injuries, the Sharkies have no shot of beating them in the playoffs but that’s a thought for another time. What we have here is a Red Wing team that’s on cruise control as the final month of the season approaches. They’re 10 points ahead of third place Calgary and five points behind first place San Jose. Chances are great that when the season ends the Red Wings will be exactly where they are right now. The point is that there are games left for Detroit that really don’t mean a lot and after flexing their muscles against the Sharkies, again, this game has a lot less significance. The Kings are in playoff mode right now and need every single point. That’s not to say they’re going to win here but they’re talented enough and hungry enough to pull off the upset. L.A is coming off a strong performance in Philly in a game they lost 2-0 (an empty netter) but out-shot Philly 34-20. These Kings have been playing a lot better on the road and with Chris Osgood in net for the Wings the Kings have a shot to put in a few. Price and situation makes the Kings a decent wager. Play: Los Angeles +3.10 (Risking 2 units).



PHILADELPHIA -½ -1.03 over Montreal (REG) PINNACLE

The Habs have won two in a row and appear to have snapped out of the despair they were in and if you believe that you have another thing coming. Yeah, they beat the Canucks 3-0 but they were completely dominated again and had no right winning that game. The Canucks out-shot the Habs 34-17. In reality, the Canadiens have had one good game in about a month and that came against Ottawa last Saturday afternoon. This team is still in a heap of trouble and there’s just no way they can compete with the Flyers. Sure, they can win, as goaltenders get hot and even when teams are dominated they sometimes win. So, the score or outcome I cannot predict. What I’m suggesting is that the Habs will get badly outplayed again (why wouldn’t they, they always do) and justice will be served. Philly easy. Play: Philadelphia -½ -1.03 (Risking 3.09 units to win 3).

Handicapper: Nite Owl Sports
Sport: College Basketball
Game: Manhattan Jaspers @ Fairfield Stags - Friday February 27, 2009 7:30 pm
Pick: 2 units MONEYLINE: Manhattan Jaspers +136



While most college hoops cappers take friday off to catch their breath and "re-group" for a busy Saturday after a hectic Wed and Thursday with the typical "avalanche" of college hoops games on those two days, Friday has been one of our most productive days over the last few years, because it features a full slate of games with "soft" lines played in the under the radar Metro Atlantic Conference, which has been a virtual ATM machine for us over last few years. And there are two reasons for our success in this conference -- one reason is that there are some strong conference trends which seem to "play out" every year in the Metro Atlantic, and the second is that with the line makers concentrating mostly on the typical large "card" of Friday NBA games and the "crush" of college hoops games on Sat, and knowing that these Friday college hoops games will generate very little betting action because they get very little attention from bettors, many of the lines for these games are simply "soft" or inaccurate, like this one.

In the Metro Atlantic the middle rung teams (such as Manhattan and Fairfield in this match-up) tend to be pretty evenly matched, and they play in mostly small arenas in front of fairly small crowds, the result of which is that small road dogs of 2-5 points have had a good deal of success not only ATS but also (by victorious these games SU) vs the money line as well. In this game our pick, Manhattan, has a better conf record (9-7 vs 8-8) than its opponent, and is 3-1 SU away (all as dogs) vs the teams in the middle and bottom of the conference, plus road wins at non-con teams of the same level, with a 15 point bracket buster win at W&M on Sat and an early season 6 point win at American Conf leader Binghamton (20-8). And jaspers have not only won their last 3 such games SU, they are one of only 3 teams in the conference (the other two being conf "powers" Siena and Niagara) with a victorious SU record (7-5) on the road. Moreover, they are 2-1 SU in their L3 games at Fairfield.

And speaking of Fairfield, the Stags don't look too formidable, as they have lost 7 of their last 10 games, and are just 2-2 SU as light home faves vs middle rung teams of the conf plus their 5 point bracket buster home loss (as 1.5 point faves) Sat to a CAA Hofstra team comparable to Manhattan.

So take Manhattan and these generous money line odds of +135, risking two units to win 2.7 units for us at the pay window when jaspers win on the court.
