Toronto Argonauts at Edmonton Eskimos (-7, 49.5)

Argonauts fans must feel like they are stuck in Groundhog Day, but without any trace of Bill Murray to make them laugh. The defense tries to keep it close at each game but the attack goes nowhere and the special units are pretty much invisible. Plagued by injuries in the last few weeks, the Eskimos D, the worst in the league, will breathe a little against the worst offensive attack. Even more so since head coach Bart Andrus might give the ball to rookie QB Stephen Reaves, a 24-year-old left-hander out of Southern Mississippi, to rest his No. 1 Kerry Joseph.

Opposing QB Ricky Ray, although leading CFL passers, has not been a shadow of himself since Kevin Strasser replaced Rick Worman as offensive coordinator and that could be a problem against one of the best defense in the league. The Eskimos are in a must-win situation to keep any hope of getting out of the West Division cellar and any chance they may still have of making the playoffs. Of course to achieve that they will also have to beat the Lions next week in Vancouver. The job of GM Danny Maciocia, whose team won’t host a playoff game in Edmonton for a fifth year in a row, may depend on it.

Pick: Edmonton -7

Hondo

Hondo bounced back with the Pie Guy in Game 2, scoring with the Yankees in El Bronx to slice the debt to 1,835 lavagettos.

Tonight, he'll take another dip into the NHL with 10 units apiece on the Caps and Blackhawks, as per the urging of Satriano, a Post hockey whiz.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

(20) West Virginia (6-1, 2-4 ATS) at South Florida (5-2, 2-3 ATS)

South Florida tries to snap a two-game losing streak when it welcomes the surging Mountaineers to Tampa for a Big East showdown.

West Virginia brings a four-game winning streak into Raymond James Stadium, including a 2-0 mark (1-1 ATS) in Big East action. The Mountaineers rallied to edge UConn 28-24 on Saturday, coming up short as eight-point home favorites. Junior RB Noel Devine, who is averaging 148 rushing yards per game during the four-game winning streak, ran for 178 yards against UConn, including the game-winning 56-yard scamper with 2:10 to play. Devine ranks seventh in the nation in rushing (912 yards) and he’s averaging 6.7 yards per rush with 11 TD runs.

The Bulls have had a tough two-week stretch in conference action, facing unbeaten Cincinnati two weeks ago in Florida and losing 34-17 as one-point underdogs, followed by Saturday’s 41-14 loss at one-loss Pitt as a 6½-point underdog. South Florida’s defense has allowed 403 rushing yards the last two weeks, and now must contend with Devine.

Last time the Mountaineers were in Tampa, they dropped a 21-13 decision as seven-point favorites in 2007 as the No. 5 team in the country. They did exact some revenge last year, winning 13-7 but failing to cash as a seven-point chalk as South Florida had a 326-280 edge in total offense. The teams have split their four meetings since 2005, with the Bulls going 3-1 ATS (all as an underdog).

West Virginia averages 31.3 points and 421 total yards per game (191.7 rushing ypg), and it has scored between 24 and 35 points in every game this year. South Florida is putting up 31 points and 379.4 ypg (177.7 rushing ypg), but in their three ACC contests, the Bulls have scored 17, 17 and 14 points while averaging 318.7 ypg.

The Mountaineers are on ATS slides of 6-12 overall (1-4 last five), 1-7 against teams with a winning record, 2-6 as a favorite, 3-7 in Big East action and 2-5 in October. Meanwhile, South Florida is 13-6 ATS in its last 19 at home, but just 1-4 ATS in its last five in October and 3-11 ATS in its last 14 against teams with a winning record.

West Virginia has stayed below the total in four of its last five Friday games, but it is also on “over” streaks of 5-2 overall, 7-3 after a SU win and 4-1 against opponents with a winning record. The Bulls have stayed below the total in 10 of 14 as an underdog and six of eight against winning teams, but the “over” is 9-3 in their last 12 at home and 5-2 in their last seven after a non-cover. Finally, the “under” has been the play in each of the four series clashes between these schools.

ATS ADVANTAGE: NONE


NBA

Chicago (1-0 SU and ATS) at Boston (2-0 SU and ATS)

The Celtics look for their third straight win in four nights to open the season when the Bulls come into Banknorth Garden in Boston.

Chicago kicked off the season on Thursday with a 92-85 upset home win over San Antonio, cashing as a three-point underdog. Six Bulls scored in double-digits, led by Luol Deng’s 17 points, and Deng also added nine rebounds.

The Celtics opened their season with Tuesday’s 95-89 win in Cleveland as a five-point underdog, then followed it up Wednesday with a 92-59 rout of Charlotte, easily covering as a 10-point favorite. Ray Allen paced Boston on Wednesday with 18 points while point guard Rajon Rondo had a double-double with 10 points and 11 assists.

These teams played a thrilling seven-game opening-round playoff series in April (3-3-1 ATS) with four of the games going into overtime before the Celtics prevailed 109-99 in Game 7 in Boston, cashing as 5½-point favorites. The teams split the money in the series (3-3-1 ATS), but the road team went 5-1-1 ATS. Also, the underdog is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight clashes.

The Bulls are just 1-3-1 ATS in their last four against the Atlantic Division, but they are on positive ATS runs of 5-1 on the road, 5-1 when playing the second night of a back-to-back and 4-1 on Friday. Boston is on ATS runs of 4-1-1 against Central Division teams and 4-1 on Friday.

Chicago is on “over” streaks of 4-0 on the road, 4-1 overall, 4-1 as an underdog and 4-0 against the Atlantic Division. The Celtics are on “over” runs of 25-10-1 at home, 5-0 against Central Division teams and 4-0 on Fridays, but they have stayed under the total in five of six overall and four of five as a favorite. Finally, the last four playoff games between these squads last spring topped the total, and the over is 5-0 in the last five meetings in Beantown.


ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER


Orlando (1-0 SU and ATS) at New Jersey (0-1 SU and ATS)

The Nets open the home portion of their season by welcoming the defending Eastern Conference champion Magic into the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J.

Orlando opened its season with 120-106 home win over the Sixers on Wednesday, cashing as a 10-point chalk. Former All-Star Vince Carter had 15 points in his debut with the Magic, but it was Dwight Howard who led the way with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Orlando had a 70-47 halftime lead.

New Jersey went to Minnesota on Wednesday and dropped its season opener 95-93 as a two-point favorite, losing in buzzer-beating fashion. Brook Lopez paced the Nets with 27 points and 15 rebounds while Yi Jianlian (17 points, 12 rebounds) and rookie Terrence Williams (15 points, 10 rebounds) both chipped in with double-doubles.

The Magic took two of three over the Nets last season (1-2 ATS), but lost in New Jersey 103-93 as a 6½-point favorite in April, long after Orlando had clinched its playoff seed. Prior to that setback, the Magic had won four straight (3-1 ATS) in this rivalry. The favorite has cashed in eight of the last 11 series clashes.

Orlando is on ATS runs of 8-1 against the Eastern Conference, 7-3 against the Atlantic Division and 5-2 on Friday. The Nets are on ATS streaks of 4-0 at home, 4-1 as an underdog, 6-2 as a home ‘dog and 18-7-1 against Eastern Conference opponents.

The Magic have stayed below the posted total in nine of 13 as a favorite, five of seven as a road favorite and four of five against the Atlantic Division. New Jersey has topped the total in 10 of the last 14 following a non-cover, but it has stayed below the total in eight of 11 as a ‘dog, 11 of 16 overall, seven of nine at home and four of five as a home ‘dog. In this rivalry, the under is 7-2 in the last nine meetings.

ATS ADVANTAGE: ORLANDO


Dallas (0-1 SU and ATS) at L.A. Lakers (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS)

The Lakers will try to extend their winning streak over the Mavericks to seven when they host Dallas inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

It’s been almost two years since Dallas beat the Lakers, with the last time coming in January 2008. Los Angeles is 6-0 (2-4 ATS) in the six games since, winning all three matchups last year by seven points (1-2 ATS), including home wins of 114-107 and 107-100, failing to cover in either meeting. Despite struggling to beat L.A. on the scoreboard, the Mavericks are 5-0 ATS in their last five on the Lakers’ home court and 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine overall, and the road team is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight clashes.

Dallas opened the season with Tuesday’s 102-91 home loss to the Wizards, falling as an eight-point favorite. The Mavs shot just 39.5 percent from the floor but did get a game-high 34 points from Dirk Nowitzki. Dating back to last year’s playoffs, Dallas is now 1-5 SU (0-6 ATS) in its last six contests.

The Lakers received their championship rings on Tuesday night then followed up the ceremony with a 99-92 win over the Clippers, coming up short as 11½-point favorites. Kobe Bryant led the way with 33 points while Andrew Bynum added 26 points and 13 rebounds. Dating back to last season’s run to the NBA championship, Los Angeles has now won seven of its last eight (6-2 ATS).

The Mavericks are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games after getting two days of rest and 7-1 in their last eight against Pacific Division teams, but they are on pointspread slides of 1-4 on the road, 0-4 after a non-cover and 0-5 against the Western Conference. The Lakers are on positive ATS streaks of 5-1 on Fridays, 6-1 after a non-cover and 9-3 when getting two days off.

Dallas is on several “over” runs, including 4-1 overall, 7-1 on the road, 4-1 against the Pacific Division and 5-1 as an underdog. Conversely, the Lakers are on a plethora of “under” streaks, including 35-15-1 overall, 20-7 at home, 9-2 against the Western Conference, 20-5-1 after a non-cover and 5-0 when getting two days off.

Lastly, the over is 5-2 in the last seven series matchups in this rivalry.
