Service Plays Monday 11/29/10

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

San Francisco (-1) ARIZONA (39½) 7:35 PM
With both teams at 3-7 this is hardly an appealing primetime match-up but
neither team can be eliminated from the playoff chase in this ugly division.
San Francisco is 0-4 S/U on the road this season but Arizona has been
outscored by 104 points this year. Arizona is near league worst in every team
yardage category but turnovers and special teams play has kept this team in
a few games. This is the first meeting between these division rivals this
season as these were supposed to be the two favorites in the division. The
Cardinals are still threats as underdogs at home. CARDINALS BY 4

Pick 'n' Roll: Today's best NBA bets

New Orleans Hornets at Oklahoma City Thunder (N/A)

Oklahoma City had won and covered in six of their last seven games heading into Sunday’s date at Houston and have also beaten the Hornets in each of the last two meetings between the clubs.

The Thunder are giving up a bunch of points lately but have been rescued by an offense that is rarely held below the century mark. Kevin Durant doesn’t look like he’s having any problems with his wonky ankle after missing three games last week.

He put up 35 points and grabbed 11 boards in a 111-103 loss to the Mavericks and then followed that up with 25 points in a 110-106 overtime win over Indiana.

“On our team, we have a saying that the game starts at 10 o’clock during that breakfast meeting or in shootaround,” Durant told reporters recently. “That’s the kind of approach we’ve been having.”

This Oklahoma City club is all business and you can see that by their free-throw shooting as well. The Thunder rank first in the Association hitting 86 percent of their efforts from the charity stripe.

Pick: Thunder


Milwaukee Bucks at Utah Jazz (N/A)

The Utah Jazz are coming off an impressive four-game stretch that saw them win and cover in each against some solid opposition. Utah dropped Portland 103-94 as a 3.5-point underdog, covered in a win against Sacramento as a 10.5-point favorite and then beat both New Orleans and the Lakers.

The winning streak didn’t come easy though. The Jazz survived a third-quarter push by New Orleans and then outscored the Hornets 25-15 in the fourth and overcame a 33-17 deficit after the first frame against the Lakers.

Utah has come back from 11 points down to win seven different times already this season.

“The whole world knows if you won’t fight back. Everybody’s got televisions and stuff like that. People study that, scout that, and they find out who you are in those situations. Are you going to fold your tent, or are you going to come and fight for your life? I’ve been proud of these guys because they’ve done that.”

The Bucks will be in over their heads in this one against the scrappy Jazz.

Pick: Utah

Pucking the trends: Weekly NHL betting notes

Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in the National Hockey League.

HOT TEAM: Columbus Blue Jackets

And you thought that Ohio State football was the only thing that mattered this time of year in the capital of the Buckeye State.

But the Blue Jackets are in the midst of changing that way of thinking. New coach Scott Arniel promised change in Columbus, promised a new attitude, and even some renewed vigor, along the way. Well, so far, so good.

Columbus, which plays Detroit on Sunday, has won five of the last six games. And they’ve been quite potent offensively, along the way.

In those five wins, the Blue Jackets averaged more than four goals scored, and even threw up a surprising eight spot vs. St. Louis on Nov. 10.

But let’s not forget the defense. The Blue Jackets have posted four shutouts this month, and their team goals-against average is just 2.33. That's the kind of number that'll win you some games in this league.

They entered the weekend just two points behind Detroit for first place, believe it or not, in the Central Division. And if the season ended on Saturday night – which of course, it didn’t, but it’s fun just for purposes of emphasis – the Blue Jackets would have been the No. 4 seed with home-ice advantage for at least one round.

COLD TEAM: San Jose Sharks

San Jose, after years of playoff frustration, was actually given credit in many circles for reaching the Western Conference Finals last season. Even though they were the No. 1 seed, even though they lost to the No. 2 Blackhawks, making it past the second round was viewed as success in San Jose, and perhaps, more important, a building block for the future.

Well, they haven’t exactly built off it, have they?

Granted, there is plenty of time left, and with stars like Dany Heatley and Joe Thornton up front, it may just be a matter of time. All that said, though, it’s hard to like anything that the Sharks have produced so far this season.

The Sharks have seven losses this month alone, including four in the past six games. They are in a logjam at the bottom of the playoff ladder in the West, and if some of the conference’s surprise teams – Columbus, Dallas, Colorado, and Minnesota, among them – don’t begin to struggle, it’s going to be a postseason dogfight for the Sharks the rest of the season.

Monitor San Jose closely, as it has a tough trek ahead this week, playing Detroit, Ottawa and Montreal in a span of five days.

OVER PLAY: Minnesota Wild

It’s been a long struggle for the Wild, trying to shed their original image in this league. Keep in mind, Jacques Lemaire was the first coach in Minnesota, he of the famed “neutral-zone trap” defense. The "trap" takes the air out of the game, so to speak, and leads to 2-1 and 1-0 final scores. Or in other words, the Wild were an “under” team extraordinaire during the early days.

But things may be changing under coach Todd Richards, who promised an up-tempo style when he took over last season. And he’s well on his way.

The Wild have been an “over” lover’s dream of late, as they’ve topped six goals – for and against – in five straight games and have reached at least five in eight games this month. On Saturday, they lost to Colorado, 7-4! That is quality “over” territory, folks.

And with a date at struggling Calgary on Monday night, that rate may just continue. Keep a close watch.

UNDER PLAY: New Jersey Devils

Martin Brodeur has been banged up, off and on, this season, but Johan Hedberg has filled in admirably in net for the Devils. That is something, of course, that Brodeur has lacked during the majority of his Hall-of-Fame career: A capable backup who can maintain the Devils’ standard of defensive excellence.

Well, that’s been just fine for New Jersey, thank you very much. But what isn’t fine, is the fact that this team, still, cannot score goals at a consistent clip.

All that said, if you’re an under bettor maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

Without injured star forwards Zach Parise and Jamie Langenbrunner, the Devils are punchless, to put it mildly. In the last six games, New Jersey has not reached six goals – for and against – in any of them. The low point? How about being shut out on Friday by the Islanders, who had only lost 14 straight games? Doesn’t get much worse.

But again, forget the Devils’ problems for a second. Make them your solution instead. As long as they continue to prove they can’t top five goals – for and against – in games, they’ll be a clean, crisp, consistent under play, moving forward.

Surveying the schedule:

** The Broadway Blueshirts recently finished a nine-day stretch in which they played six times. That’s a tough slate in this league, in any league, to be honest. But this week, they get a little rest and relaxation, and should be more than prepared for some W’s. They play just three times this week total, and two of them, are against the last-place Islanders. Consider the Rangers a solid play later this week.

** The Senators on Monday will take on the Oilers at home, which should be a walk in the park, considering Edmonton’s troubles. But monitor Ottawa as the week progresses, because the legs may get a little tired. The Senators, beginning with the Oilers game, will embark on a seven-day stretch that will include four games. That’s a lot of hockey, especially at the tail end of this run, when they have to play the Sabres and Rangers in a span of 24 hours.

Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets

Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers

Can we put this whole “best hockey player in the world” debate to rest? Sidney Crosby is a Stanley Cup champion and an Olympic Gold winner and those are two things Alexander Ovechkin supporters can’t ignore.

Crosby scored a hat trick in the Pens’ 4-1 win over the Flames on Saturday night and increased his point total to 25 over his last 12 games.

“Crosby had a great game,” Flames captain Jarome Iginla told the Calgary Herald. “He showed why he’s the best in the game right now.”

Sid the Kid’s offensive explosion is driving the Penguins to the top of the standings. Pittsburgh is on a six-game winning streak and is 15-8-2 overall.

The Rangers are playing solid hockey too but aren’t getting the same type of production from their superstar Marian Gaborik. The right wing sniper has just one goal in his last seven games and could miss Monday’s game because of a battle with the flu.

Pick: Penguins


Los Angeles Kings at Anaheim Ducks (+100, 5.5)

The good news is one of these slumping West Coast teams is going to pick up two points – something that hasn’t happened very often for either side lately.

The Kings, who started the season with a huge burst, have just two points in their last seven games. They fell 2-1 at home to the Blackhawks on Saturday.

“We have to pick it up again and put some points on the board and get going again,” center Anze Kopitar, who scored the Kings’ lone goal, said after the setback to Chicago.

Scoring has been the biggest problem for Los Angeles. The club has netted just four goals over their last three games and 16 during the seen-game skid.
“It’s all about just working and getting the intensity to battle,” Kings forward Dustin Brown told the Los Angeles Times. “There’s not enough battle in our game right now and it shows.”

The Ducks are 1-6 over their last seven games too, but they’re coming off an impressive 6-4 win over the Coyotes. Anaheim clawed its way back down 3-1 thanks in large part to the contributions of star forwards Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan, who scored a hat trick in the win.

Look for the Ducks big line to come up big again on Monday.

Pick: Ducks

Bettors' best friend: Monday's wagering tips

Lines to watch

San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals – total has dropped to 40, down a point from its opening number.

Who’s hot

NBA: Oklahoma City Thunder have covered in six of their last seven.

NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins have won six straight games.

NCAAB: Minnesota Golden Gophers have covered in four straight.

Who’s not

NFL: San Francisco 49ers have lost five of their last six ATS.

NBA: Miami Heat are 1-11 in the last 12 games against the spread.

NBA: Houston Rockets have dropped five of their last six against the number.

NBA: Milwaukee Bucks have lost six straight ATS.

Key stat

33 – points per game the Arizona Cardinals are allowing over their last four games. The league’s worst scoring defense has helped over bettors cash in on seven of Arizona’s 10 games this year.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Joe Nedney (knee), San Francisco 49ers – Nedney is considered doubtful after missing Saturday’s practice, so Shane Andrus will likely be the club’s kicker against the Cardinals. Nedney also missed last week’s 21-0 loss to Tampa Bay.

Game of the day

San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals (+1, 40)

Notable quotable

"When you put on that chin strap, you have no friends. It is my team against your team and that's how it is. Obviously when we're not playing against each other, playing outside our division, we always want each other to do well because it looks good for our division. When it is time to play against one another, you can't have any likes." -49ers linebacker Patrick Willis said about Monday’s game against Arizona.

Notes and tips

Alex Smith is healthy again, but the San Francisco 49ers will stick with Troy Smith at quarterback against Arizona. The former Heisman Trophy winner led the club to a pair of wins before last week’s 21-0 loss to Tampa Bay and is averaging nine yards per attempt. Smith's 49ers are set as 1-point road favorites.

The Miami Heat held a players-only meeting following their 106-95 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. The loss dropped Miami to 9-8 on the year, while the club has failed to cover in 11 of its last 12 games. The Heat host the Washington Wizards on Monday.

The Milwaukee Bucks headed to Utah for Monday's date with the Jazz without center Andrew Bogut. The club hoped he might be good to go after the big center missed the last three games with back spasms. Bogut averages 11.6 points and 10.9 rebounds per game.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ ARIZONA CARDNIALS
Kickoff: Monday, 8:30 p.m. EDT Line: 49ers -1, O/U 40
-------------------------------------------------------------
When the NFL's schedule-makers designated this week's game between the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers as a stand-alone Monday night showdown, they probably were hoping for a scenario in which the two divisional foes were tied in the NFC West standings. While that will be the case when the teams lock horns at University of Phoenix Stadium for this late-November matchup, neither the Cardinals nor the 49ers enter this portion of the season in a position that has been customary for one of the combatants and expected for the other.

Two-time defending NFC West champ Arizona has struggled at the onset of the post-Kurt Warner era, as a 3-7 record through the initial 10 games of this season has the franchise in danger of its first losing campaign since 2006. San Francisco, a chic preseason choice to overtake the Cardinals for division supremacy, has also dropped seven of its first 10 tests and appears on its way to an eighth consecutive year with a losing mark. Despite those uninspiring ledgers, Monday's clash still carries considerable importance due to the shaky state of the NFC West.

Both clubs trail 5-5 Seattle by only two games for first place in the division, with the 49ers getting a chance to close the gap when the Seahawks visit Candlestick Park in Week 13. San Francisco kept itself in contention with two recent wins that coincided with former Heisman Trophy recipient Troy Smith's elevation to the starting quarterback position. That momentum, as well as the Smith-led offense, was subsequently stalled with a discouraging 21-0 home loss to Tampa Bay in which the 49ers mustered an anemic 189 total yards and 11 first downs.

Smith completed just 16-of-31 for 148 yards and was intercepted once while being sacked six times working behind a patchwork offensive line that didn't have regular left tackle Joe Staley, sidelined indefinitely with a fractured left fibula sustained in San Francisco's 23-20 overtime win over St. Louis the previous week. That lackluster performance won't trigger another quarterback change, however, as Niners head coach Mike Singletary will stick with Smith for the time being even with opening-week starter and 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick Alex Smith now recovered from a sprained shoulder that opened the door to playing time for his counterpart.

Arizona has been plagued by quarterback woes and a paucity of offense as well during its disappointing run. Triggermen Derek Anderson and Max Hall have presided over a unit that's 31st in the NFL in total yards and third-down conversion percentage, and third from the bottom in rushing yards. There are problems on the other side of the ball as well, as the Cardinals have permitted a league-worst 29.2 points per game and are 29th overall in total defense. Arizona was gashed for 159 rushing yards in last Sunday's 31-13 loss at Kansas City, the club's fifth straight defeat following a 3-2 start. San Francisco, meanwhile, ranks next-to-last in the NFL in scoring (16.0 ppg) and was shut out at home for the first time since 1977 last week.

• SERIES HISTORY
----------------------
San Francisco has a 21-16 lead in its all-time series with the Cardinals, including a home-and-home sweep of the eventual NFC West champs last season. The Niners earned a 20-16 victory when the teams met at University of Phoenix Stadium in Week 1, and completed the sweep with a 24-9 win at Candlestick Park in Week 14. The Cardinals swept the '08 home and home, including a 29-24 triumph in Glendale. A win on Sunday will give the 49ers their first three- game winning streak over the Cardinals since 2003-04. San Francisco has never won in Arizona in back-to-back seasons. Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt is 2-4 against the 49ers as a head coach, while San Francisco's Mike Singletary is 2-1 versus both Whisenhunt and the Cardinals as a head man.

• WHEN THE 49ERS HAVE THE BALL
--------------------------------------------
While the quarterback situation has received the most attention, the real key to San Francisco's success is how running back Frank Gore (801 rushing yards, 46 receptions, 5 total TD) produces behind the troublesome offensive line. The Niners are 3-2 when Gore rushes for 87 yards or more this season and 0-5 when he fails to reach that mark, like the valuable sixth-year pro did in being held to a paltry 23 yards on 12 carries by Tampa Bay last week. Troy Smith (700 passing yards, 2 TD, 1 INT) actually led the team with 45 rushing yards on five scrambles against the Bucs and has some passing skills as well, as evidenced by the career-best 356 yards he put up in the Week 10 win over the Rams.

The athletic signal-caller has some quality options in which to work with, as Gore is among the game's premier receiving backs, tight end and 2009 Pro Bowl honoree Vernon Davis (38 receptions, 4 TD) is a matchup nightmare for enemy safeties with his uncanny size/speed combination, and young wideout Michael Crabtree (36 receptions, 4 TD) possesses big-time talent that belies his somewhat ordinary numbers. The 49ers are just 25th in the league in total offense (313.7 ypg) and have converted a below-average 32.6 percent of third- down tries (28th overall).

To say an Arizona defense that returned three Pro Bowlers from last season in lineman Darnell Dockett (33 tackles, 2 sacks), cornerback Dominique Rodgers- Cromartie (33 tackles, 2 INT, 10 PD) and strong safety Adrian Wilson (47 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 INT) hasn't met expectations is an understatement. In spite of that cast of proven talent, which also includes two more accomplished vets in outside linebacker Joey Porter (39 tackles, 5 sacks) and free safety Kerry Rhodes (59 tackles, 2 INT, 7 PD), the Cardinals have yielded a lackluster 396.8 yards per game, are 28th in the NFL versus the run (135.1 ypg) and 27th against the pass (261.7 ypg).

One aspect Arizona has done well in is forcing turnovers, with the team recording 26 takeaways (3rd overall) and scoring a league-best six defensive touchdowns thus far. Porter has been the Cardinals' most effective pass rusher, while Wilson and the inside linebacker pairing of Paris Lenon (74 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INT) and Gerald Hayes (20 tackles) the main cogs of a run-stopping group that was unable to contain the Chiefs' outstanding backfield tandem of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones a week ago.

• WHEN THE CARDINALS HAVE THE BALL
---------------------------------------------------
Arizona has had an overall subpar showing on offense for the year, but the team has been able to move the ball some through the air in recent weeks. Anderson (1776 passing yards, 7 TD, 8 INT) backed up a season-best 322 passing yards in a Week 10 loss to Seattle by throwing for 295 yards and a touchdown without an interception against Kansas City last Sunday, while star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (55 receptions, 691 yards, 4 TD) has been far more a factor since running mate Steve Breaston (34 receptions, 548 yards, 1 TD) returned from an in-season knee procedure in late October.

The dangerous duo combined for 182 yards and a touchdown on 11 catches against the Chiefs, with rookie Andre Roberts (12 receptions, 1 TD) adding personal highs of six grabs and 52 receiving yards as the No. 3 receiver. Making headway on the ground has been more of a sore spot for the Cardinals, who are averaging just 85.3 rushing yards per game and have attempted the fewest running plays in the league. The ball-carrying combo of Tim Hightower (438 rushing yards, 3 TD, 14 receptions) and Beanie Wells (270 rushing yards, 2 TD) did team up for a respectable 101 yards on 20 tries last week, with the talented Wells finally looking healthy after missing some time earlier in the year with a sore knee.

The Cardinals' strong cast of receivers should be able to get some open looks against a San Francisco stop unit that ranks just 26th overall in pass efficiency defense and has allowed enemy quarterbacks to complete around two- thirds of their throws. To help cornerbacks Shawntae Spencer (23 receptions, 3 INT, 6 PD) and Nate Clements (54 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INT) combat the formidable Fitzgerald/Breaston twosome, players such as sturdy end Justin Smith (45 tackles, 5 sacks) and outside linebacker Parys Haralson (26 tackles, 4 sacks) will need to create consistent pressure on Anderson, who's been sacked 22 times in his seven starts this season.

All-Pro inside linebacker Patrick Willis (91 tackles, 4 sacks) can assist in that area as well, as the always- active playmaker showed by registering a pair of sacks on top of a 13-tackle output against Tampa Bay last week. Willis, fellow linebacker Takeo Spikes (62 tackles, 1 INT) and nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin (27 tackles) form a stout interior core that's helped the 49ers hold opponents to 3.7 yards per rush attempt for the season.

• PREGAME NOTES
-----------------------
The Cards, who wouldn’t care if Kurt Warner played in high heels right about now and danced his way through opposing defenses, have folded since their Bye Week and are just 1-11 ATS versus a foe off a SU favorite loss. They’re also just 1-10 SU and ATS at home off a double-digit SU loss when an opponent also arrives off a double-digit straight up loss. History also favors the 49ers with the series visitor 9-1 ATS since 2005, including a perfect 5-0 ATS spot by the Niners. "While there’s really not a lot to like about either outfit, at least the Niners have won three of their last five, while Iron Mike checks in 7-0 ATS off a straight up favorite loss!"
