6* W ido w Wi seg uy Cards/49ers M N F G AM E OF THE M ON TH on Arizona -3(-110 at bodog)
With a win last week and a Cardinals' loss, the 49ers would be only 1 game down in the division and would be playing Arizona this Monday for the division lead. Instead, the 49ers are now 3 games back after losing to the Seahawks while Arizona destroyed the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. San Francisco now has nothing to be excited about entering this game Monday, and they won't be able to match the effort they get from the Cardinals. Arizona hasn't forgotten how they lost to the 49ers in their season-opener at home, adn they will be looking for a little revenge in this one. Arizona is 5-1 SU & 4-1-1 ATS in 6 road games this season, playing their best football away from home. Their lone road loss came at Tennessee by 3 points, as they allowed a 99-yard drive by Vince Young and company and lost it on the last play of the game. Arizona is scoring 26.8 points/game and allowing 15.2 points/game away from home, winning by an average of 11.6 points/game on the road this season. The road team is a PERFECT 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Arizona is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games overall. Given this evidence, the Cardinals will have no problem going into San Francisco Monday and coming out with a dominant road win. Take the Cardinals and lay the points.
4* on Warriors/76ers OVER 211(-109 at 5dimes)
This is a reasonably low total for a Warriors' game. Given that the Warriors score 107.2 points/game and allow 111.4 points/game this season, you can see why we are siding with the OVER here tonight. The 76ers aren't good defensively either, giving up 101.3 points/game and allowing opposing teams to shoot 48% from the floor on the year. With Allen Iverson back in a 76ers' uniform, this team gains some offense but loses some defense as Iverson doesn't put much effort on that end of the floor. The Warriors are 11-1 OVER (+9.9 Units) after 3 straight games committing 4+ less turnovers than opponents over the last 3 seasons. The 76ers are 55-35 OVER (+16.5 Units) after 4 or more consecutive losses since 1996. Take the OVER 211 points.
4* on New Orleans Hornets +9(-104 at 5dimes)
The New Orleans Hornets have had the Dallas Mavericks' number in recent year. The Hornets are 6-1 in their L7 and 8-2 in their L10 meetings with the Mavericks overall. Now they are catching nearly double-digit points here Monday, and we'll take full advantage of this great price. Chris Paul gives the Mavericks fits, and now theat he is back and healthy this team is finally starting to play up to their capability by winning 3 of their last 4 games overall. Dallas has won 3 straight, but in 2 home games they beat the Suns by 1 and the Bobcats by 1 in overtime. And Dallas is just 4-14 ATS (-11.4 Units) after 3 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons. Take the Hornets and the points.
