At 8:35 pm,our selection is on the New England Patriots minus the points over New York, as Bill Belichick's men fall into a Monday Night Football system that's 34-9 ATS since 1980. That system plays on home teams, not favored by 6+ points, which are off a road win, if they are playing an opponent off a home win. (Last week, New England defeated Detroit 45-24 while New York won 26-10 at home vs. Cincy.) And this 34-9 system is also a perfect 11-0 the past 8 seasons! Look for the 12th straight winner tonight when the Patriots blow out the Jets. Lay the points. 9* play

PAY-AFTER-YOU-WIN - 500* - NY Jets-New England OVER
Tough total tonight, but I believe that you have to stick with the "track records" of these 2 teams and play it OVER the posted total.
Yes, it is going to be very cold tonight in Foxborough, but it is hard to argur the fact the Jets have played OVER the total in 8 of their 11 games this season, and now have been OVER the total in 12 of 16 dating back to last season.
As for New England, the Patriots have been OVER the total in 10 of their last 12 games since last season!
The 2 teams combined for 42 points earlier this season at the New Meadowlands back in September, and a similar combination tonight will have us sniffing around the HIGH come the end of the contest.
Remember, both teams have been idle since Thanksgiving, so there should be plenty of "energy" on that field, and the added time should give the coordinators a little more time to come up with a wrinkle or 2 this evening.
I see this one slipping OVER the posted total late tonight.

PATRIOTS / JETS Monday night 4**** Best Bet OVER / UNDER WINNER from King Creole!
Plays rated 2 thru 5 stars
8:35pm Et / NEW YORK JETS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
4**** BEST BET on: OVER THE TOTAL
*this is a play REGARDLESS of your OU line. I bought it down from 44.5 to 43.5 points before I placed my wager (since 44 and 45 are KEY OU numbers).
Jets: 8-3 O/U on the year... Patriots: 9-2 O/U on the year (54.2 PPG!)....
The JETS come in with a 6-2 O/U overall record on Monday night Football in the last 5 seasons, and that includes a PERFECT 3-0 O/U as Monday DOGS of 3 or more points. Meanwhile, it's PERFECT for the Patriots. NEW ENGLAND is a PERFECT 6-0-1 O/U when hosting Monday night games since the 2006 season.
Now, let's take a look at the DIVISIONAL O/U tendencies on 'primetime'.
Did you know? AFC EAST division games played on a MONDAY NIGHT have gone an amazing 13-1-1 O/U dating all the way back to the 1981 season!
One more aspect that I queried has to do with tonight's OU line... which is hovering in the 44.5 to 45 points range.
6-0 O/U since 2005: All MONDAY NIGHT games in which the OU Line falls in the range of 44 to 46 points...
Both teams come in with identical 9-2 SU records on the season. That's a winning percentage of .818.
6-1 O/U since 2004: All GAME TEN or greater home favorites of < 10 points with a .750 > winning percentage (PATS) versus any .750 or greater opponent (JETS). In same-CONFERENCE play, these games have gone a PERFECT 5-0 O/U.
Both teams ALSO come off Thursday games...
24-5 O/U since 2005: All NFL teams playing off a THURSDAY road game (PATS)... when the OU Line is < 47 points.
This applied to the Saints / Bengals game yesterday ('OVER'),... and applies TONIGHT as well.
5-1 O/U: All NFL games in which BOTH teams are playing off a THURSDAY game (PATS / JETS).
New England comes off a BIG road win in which they scored 45 points. They beat Detroit by 21 points on Turkey Day as favorites of -6 points.
17-4 O/U since 2003: All NFL favs of 7 < points playing off a SU non-division DOUBLE DIGIT road win as a fav of -5 > points (PATS). In the last 4 seasons. these teams are 10-1 O/U... and in the last 2 seasons, these teams are a PERFECT 5-0 O/U.
16-4 O/U since 1980: All NFL teams in a DIVISION game playing off a non-div road game in which they scored 45 > points (PATS). Since the 2004 season, these teams are a PERFECT 6-0 O/U.
The Jets come off a 3-game homestand in which they beat AND covered against the Bengals (26 to 10) and the beat the Texans but did NOT cover (30 to 27).
25-10 O/U since 1998: All NFL road teams playing off a SUATS home win... and a SU home win BUT an ATS loss (JETS). In the last 5 seasons, these teams are a PERFECT 6-0 O/U as dogs of < 10 pts (JETS).
15-2 O/U last 3 years: All NFL same-conference ROAD teams playing off a SU non-div home win in which they allowed 10 or less points (JETS).

INDIAN COWBOY
NHL. His GOTW. 5 Beers. #57. New Jersey vs. Pittsburgh (Monday @ 7:00pm est)
The Pittsburgh Penguins are on a roll having won their last nine games. They are scoring goals in bunches, but what drives this team is their defense. They rank in the top 3 in goals/shots against and penalty killing. They host the struggling New Jersey Devils and their struggling offense which ranks 30th in the league. Martin Brodeur should come off the DL to start this game and bring some heart to the struggling team. I look for him to keep this one close and possibly pull out a win in what should be a close, low scoring game. Bear in mind that Pittsburgh comes off scoring seven goals in their last effort and are set up for a classic let down here and New Jersey who has given up ten goals over the last two games, will focus more on the defensive end as they get a bit healthier today. The under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings and this one has a solid chance to stay under also.
NBA. 4 Beers. #502. Take Under 208 Toronto Raptors vs. Indiana Pacers (Monday @ 7:00pm est).
When the Pacers come off a loss, its a good thing for a strong defensive effort the next time they play. The Pacers are a defensive team by nature this year given the players they feature in their front line, including the likes of Hibbert, McRoberts, and defensive guards such as Rush and Collison out of Kansas and UCLA. This is why Indiana is 13-5 to the Under this year. Toronto has been playing great basketball and typically their games have been going over the posted total at home, and a bit more unders on the road. I expect this game to be similar to the contest played in Portland a while back when the final score of the game didn't reach 180. I can see Toronto being focused on the defensive end coming off a struggling defensive performance against New York at home and I can see Indiana focused on defense coming off a loss themselves. The Under is 8-0-1 for the Pacers as a home favorite by this margin and the Under is 5-1 in the Pacers last six home games.
CBB. 4 Beers. Take Furman -7 over NC Greensoboro (Monday @ 7:00pm est).
Furman has revenge from last year's loss to NC Greensboro on the road by a score of 65-66. Regardless of the fact that NC Greensboro does not have a win, Furman will look to avenge that loss. This is a team that nearly beat Kent State on the road and lost to them in overtime, shoots above 71% in free throws, and started conference play 1-0 defeating Elon at home by 15 points. NC Greensoboro is a team outside the top 300. Furman is just inside the top 200 in most power rankings. NC Greensboro lost to a North Carolina A&T team who is outside the top 300 by 12 points, and I suspect as they face a top 200 team who is looking for revenge, Furman likely cashes the spread by winning by double-digits. Furman is 13-4 ATS when facing teams with a straight up losing record and the Spartans are 8-20-2 ATS in their last 30 home games.
