MAPLE LEAFS ML -116 *4* BEST BET
The Maple Leafs dominate the Senators, always have. Toronto have won 5 straight and 8 of 9
against the Senators, including 2 wins so far this season. The Senators have put together back to
back wins however they are still just 3-4 their last 7 games. The Maple Leafs have found their
groove with wins in 8 of 10 and points in 9 of 10. Getting the better team and the home team at
a line this short is a no brainer for us.
PENGUINS ML -125 *3*
The Coyotes have gone cold, dropping 4 of their last 6 games including going just 1-2 at home in
that span. The Penguins continue to be the Penguins, dominating every night, with wins in 7 of
their past 10 games and an incredible 38-14-2 record on the season. The Coyotes have been
playing to a -0.4 goal differential over their last 10 games while the Penguins a +0.6, not good
news for the Coyotes. We like the Penguins at a great line here.
DUCKS ML -178 *2*
Regardless of this mini-slump for the Ducks, we have to be on them, they are still 22-2-1-1 at
home this season up against a Stars team that have dropped 2 in a row and 5 of 8. Even with the
losses the Ducks are still 7-3 in their last 10 games. The price might be high, but we think the
Ducks would win this game at least 2 out of 3 times.
BRUINS ML + BLUES ML +110 *2*
BRUINS -1 + BLUES -1 +209 *1*
The Oilers have lost 11 straight meetings between these two teams including a 4-2 loss at home
to these same Bruins in December. Despite the fact that the Oilers have 3 straight wins, it is
statistically impossible for them to continue winning if they keep getting severely outplayed - Ben
Scrivens can only do so much for them. The Bruins have won 4 of 5 overall. Additionally they are
20-6-0-2 at home while the Oilers have just a 8-18-3-1 road record.
The Blues will be looking to bounce back after being embarrassed last night. Luckily for them the
Predators are no more than a .500 team and the Blues have taken 7 of the past 8 meetings
between these two teams (including twice this season). Prior to last night's loss the Blues had
been riding a 3 game win streak. St. Louis are a different beast at home with a 19-5-2 home

3* No Doubt Rout on Miami Heat -
We are getting a lot of value on Miami thanks to a four game run at home from the New York Knicks. None of those four wins have come against decent competition, so I don't think the Knicks have done anything special by winning at home against four bad teams. The competition gets a lot tougher tonight with the defending champions in town. The Miami Heat are coming off two days of rest so I like their chance to have a strong showing on the road today. The Knicks are 11-15 at home this season and 9-17 against the spread in those games. They don't get a lot of benefit from home court advantage, and a well rested team like Miami should have no problem coming to town and picking up a big win. The Knicks are also 7-16 ATS as an underdog this season. This matchup fits into a very profitable system backing the Miami Heat. You should play on a team that is revenging a straight up loss to an opponent as a favorite when they are coming off a home loss. This system identifies teams being undervalued by the oddsmakers, and it is 121-73 (62.4%) against the spread.

4* NBA Non-Conference Game of the Week on Portland Trailblazers -
The Toronto Raptors are playing in a very tough spot today. Last night they were on the road against Denver, and now they have to turn around and head to Portland to play the Trailblazers in the second game of a back-to-back. Portland is a very good team when playing at home posting an 18-5 record, so I like the Trailblazers to pick up an easy win over the Raptors. Portland has several key advantages in this game. They are an outstanding scoring team averaging 108.4 points per game. Toronto on the other hand comes into this matchup averaging a mere 97.4 points per game on the road. The Raptors are -4 in rebounding margin on the road this season, while Portland has a +5 figure in rebounding margin when playing at home. The Trailblazers have also dominated head-to-head matchups with Toronto over the last three seasons. They are 3-1 both straight up and against the spread in the last four meetings between these teams. This matchup fits into a very profitable system backing the Trailblazers. You should play on a team like Portland when they are a 3.5 to 9.5 point home favorite, and they are playing in a game involving two teams shooting 43.5 to 45.5 percent after 42 or more games, and they are +3 to +5 in rebounding margin against a team that is -3 to +3 in rebounding margin on the season. This system has a 72-36 (67%) record against the spread.

We really like the visitor here today as Eastern Michigan travels to Millet Hall to take on the Redhawks from Miami. The Redhawks are really a team that struggles to shoot the ball consistently and is coming off a 13-point home loss to Toledo. EMU is 4-3 in league play and 12-8 overall, but we really think they are a more balanced team than Miami and have been more "battle tested" with road games this year at Duke, Syracuse and Kentucky. This is a game they need to win and should win. One of Miami's biggest problems this season has been their lack of size and getting killed on the glass, where we think EMU will have a major advantage today. We are rolling with the visitors here! The Sharps say...

Game: Arkansas at L S U (5:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: L S U -5 (-109) at 5Dimes
There are not very many good teams that have struggled over the years on the road like this Arkansas team. This is a team that is 16-70 straight-up on the road in their last 86, and just 28-59-1 ATS over the same period. This year has been no exception as Arkansas is 0-3 on the road. Jordan Mickey controls the paint for LSU, as he has blocked 69 shots on the season and has had 5 or more blocks in eight games, and averages 13.1 points per game and 7.2 boards. Johnny O'Bryant went for 29 against Kentucky for the Tigers, and once again he should have his way in the paint against Arkansas. The Razorbacks are in one of their worst road situations, as they have been 6-35 ATS on the road to a line of less than 11 vs. a winning team off a win. Make the play on LSU.
