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

Washington Wizards at Minnesota Timberwolves

A nasty knee bruise seems to be the least of Gilbert Arenas’ troubles this holiday season.

The Washington Wizards quirky point guard is the middle of a firearms investigation in which the team says Arenas had weapons in his locker. This is a violation of the NBA’s rules on firearm possession and the league and the franchise is looking into the matter.

Arenas said the only reason the guard brought the guns to the Verizon Center was to keep them away from his children.

"It happened like Dec. 10. Right after my daughter was born," Arenas told ESPN. "I decided I didn't want the guns in my house and around the kids anymore, so I took them to my lockbox at Verizon Center. Then like a week later, I turned them over to team security and told them to hand them over to the police, because I don't want them anymore. I wouldn't have brought them to D.C. had I known the rules. After my daughter was born, I was just like, I don't need these anymore."

Arenas does have a prior weapons charge stemming from an incident in 2003 when he was caught driving with a concealed weapon on a suspended license. He was suspended for the2004-05 season opener after he pled guilty to the chargers.

While a punishment, if any, will likely come later in the week, Arenas’ situation and injury are an extra heaping of distractions while the Wizards try to stay focused after the holiday break.

Pick: Minnesota


Philadelphia 76ers at Utah Jazz (-8, 205)

The Sixers better have enjoyed be home for the holidays because starting Saturday, they hit the road for a five-game swing – opening in Utah.

Philadelphia is struggling, winning just twice in its last 10 games. The 76ers’ most recent defeat was a tough loss to the Washington Wizards this Tuesday in which Philly was outscored 33-19 in the fourth quarter, losing 105-98 as a 2-point underdog. The letdown was so hard, the team cancelled practice Wednesday.

"For me, it was an emotional loss," coach Eddie Jordan told the media. "We talked about the fourth quarter, and I wanted to settle down myself, come in and have a terrific day [Thursday], be a little more even-keel."

It’s been a hectic month for the Sixers. December brought a 2-8 record (3-7 ATS), the return of Allen Iverson and left the team losing nine of their last 10 road contests heading into the weekend. That frustration boiled over during practice this week, where thing got a bit “chippy”, according to guard Lou Williams.

"It depends on the mind-set of the guys," Williams told reporters of the upcoming road swing. "I'm sick of losing. I know a couple of other guys who are sick of losing. We got to get everybody on the same page as far as what we want to accomplish. The season isn't in the wash yet. We still can put some games together and make a run."

Pick: Utah

Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets

Ottawa Senators at Buffalo Sabres (-193, 5)

All the Senators want for Christmas is a big trainer’s room. The one they have now is getting a little crowded.

Ottawa has been plagued with injuries all season and took another knock when captain Daniel Alfredsson suffered a shoulder injury in the team’s 8-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night. The Senators’ staff expects Alfredsson to miss up three weeks.

"[Alfredsson's] a big loss," goalie Pascal Leclaire told the media. "He's definitely our leader and a key player on our team ... but we have some good guys in here. We all have to step it up a little bit."

Alfredsson leads the Senators with 31 points, scoring nine goals and recording 22 assists. He was battling a scoring slump with his most recent goal coming in late November.

Ottawa is still playing without star center Jason Spezza, who will be out of action until early February after injuring his knee last week. Spezza, who has been mired in a funk for most of the season, isn’t expected to undergo surgery.

The Sens have averaged just over two goals per game this month and, outside of Wednesday’s beating, have posted a 3-5-1 over/under mark in their last nine contests.

Pick: Under


Los Angeles Kings at Phoenix Coyotes (-135, 5.5)

The Coyotes are hoping the holiday break didn’t snap their sudden streak of hot play.

Phoenix won back-to-back games heading into the hiatus, taking wins over the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets this week. The Coyotes are winners in four of their last five heading into Saturday’s showdown with the Kings.

Forward Petr Prucha credits the team’s turnaround to just getting the “lucky” bounces. The right winger has been stuck in a bit of a rut in recent games. He hasn’t lit the lamp since scoring twice against the Toronto Maple Leafs December 16.

"You always think after points like that it's gonna be the break point, but it's how it is," Prucha told reports. "It's hockey, and you can't have a point every game. You just have to keep working hard, and it's gonna come, hopefully."

Phoenix is a solid 14-5 inside Jobing.com Arena this season. It has won eight straight games at home heading into Saturday.

Pick: Phoenix -135

20 Dime - North Carolina

A few weeks ago, Pitt was looking at playing in a BCS game after possibly winning the Big East. As we know they ended up losing a heart breaker to Cincinnatti late in the game in a gut wrenching Pitt end of season loss. Hard to imagine them being excited about going to Charlotte to play in the Meineke, versus being in Miami for the Orange Bowl. NC on the other hand is basically playing a home game and has the defense to stop anything really that Pitt can throw at them. NC really has no offense but time off for bowl practices works wonders with QB's and Yates should take advantage of that extra time. Bowl handicapping key #1 is motivation and doubt very seriously that Pitt has it and we know that NC will have it in front of the home crowd. A battle of two defenses and two former NFL coaches to boot. There is not a lot of respect for the Big East, especially in Bowl games. Go Heels!!

5 Dime - Ohio

Not a game that we will look at too seriously but it is the first game on Saturday so for those looking for small action, this might be the game for you. Interestingly enough there is a little early support for Marshall here even though it is the least bet game on the board. The line has been moved down from the opener of 4.5 to it's current 3, yet the percentage of spread bets are almost exclusively on Ohio. That's the thing about teams involving the MAC and a former Mac team Bookmakers in Vegas are scared to death of Mac money and they tend to move the line and react rather quickly. Ohio certainly has the better team components in this matchup, and the better coaching matchup. Frank Solich has really done a nice job in stabilizing this football program. His team had a lot of injuries when they played against C, Mich in the WAC Championship game. He has them back healthy now including his stud QB Theo Lewis who can do it with his hands and his feet. Marshall is going through the big post season coaching change where the head coach was asked to resign and the new coach is not yet there and they are being coached by an interim coach in Rick Minter, Ohio leads the nation in TO's forced as in 36.. Marshall on the other hand is horrible in taking care of the football. They have a -41 turnover ration. That is too big to look past in this game. I've seen too many teams simply go through the motion when there is an interim coach involved. Let's buck the trend here and go worth the better team and the favorite for a change.

2000* - Ohio Bobcats, 1000* - North Carolina Tar Heels Marshall comes into this game in disarray, as their 52-21 loss to UTEP was followed by head coach Mark Snyder's resignation. Enter Rick Minter who will coach this game, and that's all, as West Virginia assistant Doc Holliday is slated to be the new head coach at Marshall.

Kinda makes it tough for the Thundering Herd to win this ball game if you ask me. Especially when you consider that Ohio is about as disicplined a football team as you will find. They don't turn the ball over, in fact, the Bobcats are the ones who force the turnover, as OU came up with 36 takeaways this year, with 10 TDs scored by the defense and the special teams.

The Bobcats are healthy once again, and I fully expect their passing game to exploit a Herd pass defense that was ranked down near 100th in the nation in that category.

Ohio's QB Theo Scott is a 5th year senior, so this is his last chance to leave with a good taste in his mouth, and I don't have any issue laying the small chalk with an Ohio team that just played Central Michigan in the MAC title game down to the wire in 20-10 loss, but cover as the dog.

The Bobcats have sold out their allotment of tickets, while sales from the Herd's camp have been less than brisk.

Lay it with Ohio U.

2000♦ - Ohio University Bobcats

I just gave you the small favorite in Ohio, but did you know that the underdog in this year's bowl games is 5-1 both straight up, and against the spread thus far?

I like those kinds of numbers, and while I am bucking them with the Bobcats, I will support them in this game between North Carolina and Pittsburgh.

I can't get the memory of Pitt's ugly 3-0 loss to Oregon State in last year's bowl game out of my mind. Now I know that the Panthers offense is plenty imrpoved, but North Carolina does have a staunch defense, and I have a feeling with the Tar Heels playing so close to home, they will get the added boost of having the crowd in their corner.

North Carolina is definitely offensively-challenged, but after dropping a 31-30 bowl thriller to West Virginia as the 2 1/2-point dog last year in their bowl game in Charlotte, I have a feeling the Heels will be ready for the win this go'round.

Take any points they are giving with UNC.

SPORTS WAGERS

Ohio –3 over Marshall

Well, if momentum means anything at all then one would have to give the Bobcats a significant edge here. Ohio went on a significant run to end the season, posting a 7-1 mark in its final eight games while the Thundering Herd lost four of its last six games and that includes a rather disturbing 52-21 loss to close out the season against UTEP. What’s also unappealing about the Thundering Herd is its pedestrian offense that struggles miserably to score points. Ion fact, they scored 21 or less in seven of its 10 games and a month layoff is unlikely to help what ails them. Aside from being whipped by Va Tech, Marshall was also crushed by both West Virginia and Tulane. The Herd went 4-4 in the conference and just 6-6 overall. It’s also worth noting that despite not allowing a ton of points the Thundering Herd defense was shaky at best. They were completely shredded in terms of yards allowed (almost 400 yards per game) and were fortunate to not allow about another 10 points against per game. Meanwhile, the Bobcats have never won a Bowl game in three previous attempts. They have to know this is a great chance to do so and there’s no excuse for not pulling it out. They had some good losses this season to UConn by 7 and to Tennessee by 9. In a crucial game against Temple in the second last week of the year they crushed the Owls 35-17. The Bobcats have a big edge at QB, its defense was stellar all season and let’s not forget that they also have all the aforementioned momentum on its side too. Play: Ohio –3 (Risking 2.06 units to win 2).

THE MAXIMUS REPORT

SOLID PLAY:

Little Caesar's Bowl
Location:* Ford Field - Detroit, MI* (FieldTurf)* Time:* 10:00am EST
EVALUATION:* Breaking down the Little Ceasars Bowl between Marshall (6-6) and Ohio (9-4).

Take OHIO UNIVERSITY BOBCATS -3 vs. Marshall Thundering Herd
This bowl game could be a dud with Marshall playing with a lame duck interim staff, after their head coach Mark Snyder stepped down after a lackluster 6-6 SU record, and this stunned several of the players on the squad, and now defensive coordinator Rick Minter steps in as the interim coach not knowing if he will be retained full time. * This bowl game could be his one and only game as head coach if they lose.* * The Herd will have their leading rusher Darius Marshall back after missing the last two games with a high ankle sprain, and word is he has looked good in practice, and should be 100 percent healthy for this bowl game.* His 1,054 yards along with 11 touchdowns can be a good thing for the Herd, and this could be a problem for Ohio since they have struggled against the run allowing an average of just a hair over 150 yrds a game.** Ohio, on the other hand, is looking for its second 10-win season in its history as an FBS team. The Bobcats last won 10 games in 1968. This is a dramatic turnaround from winning four games a year ago, but we have always known that Frank Solich can coach.* Ohio last lost to Central Michigan in the MAC Championship 10-20 on this same field, and we expect them to show up ready to play in this one.** The Bobcats have only lost 4 games, and those were to UConn in their first game, Tennessee in week 4, Kent St.* on 10/24, and Central Mich in that MAC Championship game.* It's hard to judge whether a team with a lame duck interim coach will be motivated to play, but Ohio has a lot to play for and we think they will be up for their second consecutive game at Ford Field

SOLID PLAY:

Meinke Car Care Bowl
Location:* Bank of America Stadium - Charlotte, NC* (Grass)* Time:* 1:30pm EST
EVALUATION:* Breaking down the Meinke Car Care Bowl between North Carolina (8-4) and Pittsburgh (9-3).

Take NORTH CAROLINA TARHEELS +1.5 vs. Pittsburgh Panthers*
These two coaches know each other very well, having been on Jimmy Johnson's coaching staff together for 11 years.* That includes four seasons at Oklahoma State, three at Miami and four with the Dallas Cowboys. There will be some familiarity on the opposing sidelines Saturday, when Butch Davis and Dave Wannstedt square off, but they never met as opposing coaches in the NFL.* If UNC's defensive line can hold up, it should help their linebackers Quan Sturdivant and Bruce Carter to pursue the Panthers' standout running back, Dion Lewis. Robert Quinn is one of the best defensive ends in the country, and he enters the game with 19 tackles for losses of 120 yards and 11 sacks for 94 yards. He also has forced six fumbles and has 15 quarterback hurries.* On the offensive side UNC quarterback T.J. Yates, has had an inconsistent season, but some of that can be attributed to his young receivers and average-at-best pass protection. He enters the bowl game needing 224 yards to reach the 6,000-yard career passing mark. For the season, Yates is 195 of 323 for 1,953 yards, 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He'll need to limit the mistakes in this game and help UNC win the turnover battle, but his supporting cast will have to help him out more, too.* For the first time in more than a decade, UNC is making an appearance in back-to-back bowls. Carolina's 16 wins over the last two years are the most by a Tar Heel team since posting 21 victories in 1996 and 1997. The program is changing under Davis, but can it take the next step and gain a postseason win?* UNC has proven it's capable of the upset this season, as it earned wins against No. 14 Virginia Tech and No. 12 Miami. A win over Pittsburgh would give Carolina nine wins for just the 15th time in school history and the first time since 1997.* Pitt has a tendency to find a way to lose (See: Big East title on the line vs. Cincinnati and regular season game against NC State). The Tar Heels will have the edge with Davis on the sidelines, Yates will redeem himself from an inconsistent season, and UNC's defense will once again be the difference. They'll pressure Pittsburgh QB Bill Stull into mistakes and come out on top of a defensive game.** The crowd should be pro Tarheel and we expect this to give them a slight advantage in the motivation department.
Projection:* ** North Carolina* 23***** Pittsburgh 20

BEST BET:

Emerald Bowl

Location:* AT & T Park- San Francisco, CA* (Grass)* Time:* 7:00pm EST

TAKE USC TROJANS -7 vs. Boston College Eagles.

EVALUATION:* Breaking down the Emerald Bowl between No. 24 USC (8-4) and Boston College (8-4).
This game comes down to one thing, which USC quarterback named Matt Barkley will show up.* The one that led a game-winning drive in the waning moments at Ohio State on Sept. 12, or the one who looked like an overmatched true freshman quarterback in their . The Trojans offense sputtered down the stretch, and Barkley ended seventh in the Pac-10 in passing efficiency, with 12 interceptions and only 13 touchdowns. If Barkley reclaims his steady, heady self from the first half of the season, which means getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers and avoiding risky throws, the Trojans offense should * have no problem matching the smooth-running unit that scored 106 points against California, Notre Dame and Oregon State.** Most people think the Trojans will come out flat and uninspired because: 1. the Emerald Bowl is beneath a team that's played in seven consecutive BCS bowls; 2. the program has been in the news a lot of late for all the wrong reasons, and that will dilute motivation. * Know that BC will show up hungry and unintimidated. * Even without its A-game, which we haven't seen since the first three quarters of the win at Notre Dame, USC might prevail because it's got better players, but a lackluster effort could lead to another embarrassing defeat. * * If the Trojans roll and post an impressive win, it would suggest the program is righting itself and will be back in the Pac-10 and national mix next fall. If they look sloppy and uninspired, folks will start to wonder if the dynasty is truly dead. And keep in mind: While USC has lost four times in the Pac-10 this season, no team outside the conference has beaten USC since the 2005 national championship game. ** The problem we see with BC is that they just haven't got a respectable win away from Alumni Stadium, losing 3 of 5 to Clemson, Va. Tech, and Notre Dame.* Yes they were great at home, but when they traveled they either lost or played bad football and just managed to win.* Away from home the Eagles only scored 7, 14, 16, 14, and 19. ** We are thinking that USC has too much pride to play without fire. The absence of three starters and a reserve due to academics and NCAA issues will hurt, but that might be off-set by a team that was beaten up getting three weeks to rest and heal, mentally as well as physically.* We like the Trojans talent to prevail in this game.
PROJECTION:* USC 31* Boston College13

Ohio has been pretty impressive all year ending with a 9-4 record. Marshall enters the Bowl with a 6-6 record. Ohio is 5-1 on the road and Marshall is 2-4. How then is the line in this game only 3? You can maybe argue that Marshall has had Ohio number in the past but after seeing this Ohio team play this year, we think this line is a mistake. If its a sucker bet, then call us suckers.
