* Widow Wise guy MAC Tuesday Night BLOOD BATH on Buffalo -3(+105 at Bodog)
Buffalo wins running away Tuesday on ESPN 2. Both the Bulls and the Bowling Green Falcons sit at 3-5 right now, but Buffalo is the superior team and home field gives them a big advantage here. Bowling Green is a 1-man wrecking crew, and Buffalo will be prepared to stop Freddie Barnes tonight. To put it in perspective, Barnes has 99 catches this season which is tops in the nation. He has 56 more grabs then the next closest on the team. So really, Buffalo just needs to stop Barnes and they'll run away with this game. The Bulls can beat you in a variety of ways with playmakers all over the field. They have a two-headed attack in the backfield with Ike Nduka and Brandon Thermilus as each has more than 78 carries this season and they have combined for 861 rushing yards on the year. At receiver, they have two studs in Naaman Roosevelt and Brett Hamlin who have combined for 1,436 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns. Roosevelt has 60 catches for 768 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Hamlin has 50 grabs for 666 yards and 2 scores. Then you throw in red-zone target Jesse Rack, who has 5 touchdowns catches on just 20 grabs this season. We'll side with this dynamic Buffalo offense every time against a team that really only has one big weapon. The Falcons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a S.U. loss. The Falcons are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a bye week. The Bulls are 12-5 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Take Buffalo and lay the points.
5* N BA "S TE AL" of the Week on Washington Wizards +11.5(-103 at 5dimes)
Washington is one of the most underrated teams in the league to start the season. This line is inflated tonight, and if there's one team that Washington would like to beat in the NBA, it's certainly the Cleveland Cavaliers. These teams have had some fierce battles in the playoffs when Gilbert Arenas was healthy, and now that he's healthy this season the Wizards are a force to be reckoned with in the East. Washington has opened the season 2-1 with a nice road win at Dallas and a blowout home win over the Nets. The Wizards are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings with Cleveland, including winning 2 out of 3 outright against Cleveland last season when they weren't at full strength. This team just gets up to face the Cavs because of their history. The underdog is a perfect 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take Washington and the points.
4* on Indiana Pacers +6(-105 at sia)
The Pacers have opened the season 0-2 while the Nuggets are 3-0 to start the 2009 season. With these starts also comes serious line value on Indiana at home Tuesday night. The Pacers are very hungry for their first win of the season, and we think they get it tonight against Denver. The Nuggets have played just one road game this year, winning by 3 points at Portland. Denver also struggled to beat the Grizzlies at home last time out, winning by 10 points as an 11-point favorite. In fact, all 3 of their wins have come by 10 points or less. We strongly feel the Nuggets are overrated right now. Indiana is 9-4 S.U. in their last 13 home meetings with Denver. The Nuggets are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference. The Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central. The Pacers are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The Pacers are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog of 5.0-10.5. Take Indiana and the points.
