Complimentary Picks and Analysis
Game: New York Islanders at New York Rangers (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 5.5 -130
The Islanders are 22-16 to the UNDER, thanks to scoring just 2.4 goals per game. Over their last five games, this offense has managed just 1.8 goals per game while their defense has improved. The Rangers have allowed just 1.4 goals per game over their last five games and on the season, the Rangers offense has averaged just 2.3 goals per game vs. division opponents. When facing teams with a losing record, the Rangers are 31-18 UNDER at home the past two seasons. They are also 41-27 UNDER over that span vs. teams that allow 2.9+ goals per game. And, the Rangers have gone UNDER the total in nine of the last ten games.
I like this one too to go UNDER.

6* W ido w W iseg uy BC/USC E mer ald B owl S uref ire on USC -7(+102 at 5dimes)
USC has a chance to set the record for most bowl wins in the history of college football Saturday. Pete Carrol's team will be ready to go knowing this, and they won't let up against Boston College. Hard to see too many Golden Eagle fans making the trip clear out to San Francisco, CA for this bowl game, so the Trojans will clearly have home-field advantage. Boston College is just 2-3 S.U. & 1-4 ATS in road games this season, scoring a miniscule 14.0 points/game. Their offense isn't nearly as explosive as the Trojans, and they won't be able to score enough points to keep up with USC Saturday. The Eagles are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games in December. The Eagles are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. USC is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 bowl games. That adds up to a 16-2 (89%) ATS Angle backing the Trojans. Take USC and lay the points.
5* W iseg uy N B A B oun ce-Ba ck B LOO D B AT H on L.A. Lakers -6(-110 at sportsbook)
After getting embarrassed on Christmas Day in a 15-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Lakers take their anger out on the Sacramento Kings tonight. This play also falls under a system that is 31-8 (80%) over the last 5 seasons. It tells us to back road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points, which would be the Lakers here, a team that is outscoring opponents by 3+ points per game coming off a loss by 15 points or more. There's no question that these good teams like the Lakers know how to bounce back from a bad loss. Take the Lakers and lay the points.
