Hondo
Hondo’s big rebound
Hondo, who went 1-7 during the wild-card round, flipped the field last weekend by going 7-1 in the divisionals, losing only with the “over” in the Broncos-Colts tussle. Fortunately, the denizens of HondoNation are loyal to their leader and were able to recoup their opening-round losses.
The super surge sends Mr. Aitch into the conference title games only three points behind Lucky Loftis with six to be decided in the race for the Cume Crown (total of spreads plus over/unders).
Packers-Seahawks: Aaron Rodgers amazed last week when he overcame a calf tear to lead the Packers over the Cowboys. However, against the Seahags’ relentless and ruthless marauders, Hondo expects Mr. Rodgers to perform more like a one-legged man in an butt-kicking contest. Additionally, the Packers earned their title game stripes with help from the zebras, and the Cowboys showed what happens to teams like that. Therefore, the Packers will get to sit back and “relax” as they watch XLIX.
Seahawks, 26-16
Colts-Patriots: Andrew Luck is 0-for-3 against the Patriots for his career, including a 42-20 thumping in November. Not much has changed in the two months since Darrelle Revis held deep threat T.Y. Hilton to three catches for 24 yards, while the Colts running-on-empty ground game amassed 19 yards on 16 carries. Luck again will be the residue of the Hoodie’s design, which should result in an easy day for the Pats. In fact, Gisele is so confident, she is telling friends there’s no need to pray for Tommy on Sunday.

NFL Playoffs Free Selection
UNDER 46.5 POINTS
Green Bay at Seattle
3:05 p.m. ET
We cashed a winner here last Sunday on the under in the Green Bay-Dallas game and we’ll go back to the well here today using similar reasoning. If there is one weakness on the Seattle defense it’s defending the run up the middle. Considering Aaron Rodgers’ calf injury, expect the Pack to feed RB Eddie Lacy and pound the ground. Seattle, meanwhile, has gone under in five of its last seven games and the reason is that they have been shortening games by using a methodical and clock-draining offensive strategy. The Packers have gone under in three of their last four playoff games and are 3-1 to the under in their last four games overall. And, as mentioned in our NFL Conference Championship Betting Preview, the under is 5-1 in the last six Conference Championship Games. Go under!

Larry Ness' 10* CBB Weekend Wipeout Winner (25-14 TY in BKB)
My 10* Weekend Wipeout Winner is on St Bonaventure at 2:30 ET.
St Bonaventure was often a ‘tough out’ last season but an 18-15 record was surely nothing to brag about, nor was the teams’ 6-10 record in the A-10. Head coach Mark Schmidt was optimistic heading into this year, expecting improvement from the 7-0 Ndoye plus had high hopes for three newcomers in the backcourt, Ball St transfer Posley, as well as freshman Jaylen and Jalen Adams. Ndoye (11.4-11.1) has turned into a double-double performer, Posley (17.1) is the team’s leading scorer plus Jaylen (8.6) and Jalen (6.8) have both been OK. That said, the Bonnies are a modest 9-6, including 2-2 in the A-10.
However, this date here in Olean vs St Joe’s, is one the team has had ?circled!” St Bonny lost last year’s regular season matchup with St Joe’s and then was CRUSHED by the Hawks 67-48 in the A-10 tourney. Last year's St Joe’s team won the A-10 tourney and then took UConn n (eventual national champs) to OT in the team's first NCAA game. The Hawks were a 24-win team last year but TY’s Phil Martelli’s squad (7-8 / 1-3 in A-10) HARDLY resembles last year’s team. PG and leading scorer Galloway (17.7), 6-8 PF Roberts (14.4-7.6) and 6-8 do-everything Kanacevic (10.8-8.8-4.4) have all moved on.
The 6-6 Bembry (15.9-6.7-2.9) leads TY’s team in scoring, rebounding and assists but the frontcourt offers little size, as the 6-7 Miles (10.3-5.3) and 6-6 freshman Demery (7.0-3.4), are the main contributors with Bembry (who guards Ndoye, who just went for 28 & 13 in his last game?). In the backcourt, Brown (10.1-4.3), Wilson (8.7-4.2) and Newkirk (3.7) can't match up with deep a St Bonny’s group. Joining Posley and the two Adams’ are, Wright (12.0), and Cumberbatch (10.7-5.5).
Look out below. This one is a R-O-U-T!

Tom Stryker's 20-8 ATS CBB Slam Dunk Conference Best Bet
OREGON (+) over Washington at 8:30 PM EST
Off Thursday's 108-99 road loss at Washington State, Oregon will get back on track when it visits Washington on Sunday evening. The Ducks lead the Pac-12 in scoring (77.8 ppg) and assists (16.1 aps) and they'll be too much for the Huskies too handle.
Since 1994, UO has been at its best in its series against UW provided the Huskies check in off a straight up win - now 16-9 ATS. Equally impressive, when coming off a straight up loss, the Ducks have won 29 of their last 41 games straight up (21-18 ATS) including a nearly perfect 8-1 ATS in this set priced as an underdog of +2.5 or more. Also, in its last 35 games as a road pup, Oregon holds a decent 23-11-1 ATS mark including a strong 20-8 ATS in this set matched up against a conference foe.
U-Dub finally picked up a nice win and cover at home against Oregon State on Thursday night. Before that victory, the Huskies were losers of four straight (0-4 ATS) to Stony Brook, California, Stanford and Washington State. Surprisingly, Washington is on a dismal 7-16 ATS run at home when facing a foe that enters off a SU and ATS loss including just 2-9 ATS in this set provided the Huskies take the floor off a SU and ATS victory. Finally, as Pac-12 chalk, UW is on a soft 18-27-1 ATS run including just 5-11-1 ATS in this set competitively priced at -4 or less.
The Huskies survived Oregon State without the services of forward Jernard Jarreau but they won't be as fortunate against the Ducks. UW would struggle even more if guard Darin Johnson remains out with a quadriceps problem. UO's youth showed in its first Pac-12 road game. However, Ducks head coach Dana Altman is one of the best and he'll have his diaper dandy's ready to bounce back. Take Oregon. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.
