Service Plays Tuesday 11/16/10

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

Ice picks: Tuesday's best NHL bets

Philadelphia Flyers at Montreal Canadiens (-120, 5.5)

The last thing the Montreal Canadiens needed heading into a date with the red-hot Philadelphia Flyers was another injury to No. 1 defenseman Andrei Markov.

Markov was playing just his seventh game since coming back from major knee surgery on Saturday, but he ran into Erik Staal awkwardly and now the team is worried he may have done major damage to that same knee. No official report has been made on the injury but the club is just hoping to have him back by Christmas, while other rumors have him done for the year.

"It's a team game and we have more depth on defense," Canadiens coach Jacques Martin told NHL.com. "We've played better 5-on-5 all year and it's only in the last week that our power play began working. Our penalty killing has been good all year and our goaltending's been excellent."

All of that’s true, but it’s hard to replace the 34 points he had last year in 43 games before getting hurt. P.K. Subban is going to have to shoulder a much heavier load until Markov gets back and he could be in for a rough ride against the bruising Flyers.

Pick: Flyers

Anaheim Ducks at Dallas Stars (-140, 5.5)

The Dallas Stars know they’re top heavy with their forward lines. They need a ton of production out of Brad Richards’ line every night just to keep Dallas in games and when that happens, the Stars struggle.

That’s exactly what’s going on right now as Dallas heads into Tuesday’s game riding a three-game losing streak in which the club has managed only three goals.

"We had the puck on our stick a number of times to try to get the goal, and it just didn't happen," Stars coach Marc Crawford told reporters after Dallas dropped a 4-2 decision to the Ducks last Friday. "So we've got to keep trying to find ways to persevere. You have to find ways to get the pucks on the net and in the net."

They get another crack at the Ducks here, but these offensive problems have to be worrying for the Stars. They opened the year 4-0 but have gone 3-6 since and haven’t converted on the power play in three games.

Pick: Ducks

Tuesday's best NCAAB bets

Virginia Tech Hokies at Kansas State Wildcats (-6.5)

While this game features the best head-to-head player battle of the college hoops season so far (Delaney vs. Pullen), the big story is brewing in Manhattan.

Kansas State coach Frank Martin, known to be about as stable as downtown Mogadishu, is considering benching his top forward again in this important matchup of Top 25 programs.

Senior Curtis Kelly was sat out of the Wildcats’ opening game against James Madison Friday for a lack of effort in practice and may not see the court or even dress against the Hokies Tuesday night.

Kelly apparently received the message from his coach and has been picking up the pace this week. However, it may take a lot more to win over Martin, who has his eyes on a bigger prize than a non-conference win over Virginia Tech, like competing for the national championship.

"Just because he's been halfway decent for two days I'm not going to do back flips," Martin told the Kansas City Star. "He's got to do right for an extended period of time. The last couple days he's been more the way that he needs to be, unlike the way he's been for the three and four weeks leading into last game."

Most coaches would call off the dogs after a game on the bench, but not Martin. Kansas State could also be playing without standout junior Jamar Samuels in the frontcourt. He suffered an eye injury in the opener and is questionable for Tuesday’s contest.

Pick: Virginia Tech

Ohio State Buckeyes at Florida Gators (-1.5)

Jared Sullinger may not be getting the same All-America buzz as fellow freshmen Harrison Barnes and Kyrie Irving, but the newest Ohio State big man is letting his game speak for itself.

The 6-foot-9, 280-pound first-year stud out of Columbus scored 19 points, pulled down 14 boards and added two assists in just 21 minutes in the Buckeyes’ season opener against North Carolina A&T.

Now, he faces the first true test of his college career, going up against a deep Florida frontcourt that features Alex Tyus, Chandler Parsons, Vernon Macklin and freshman reserve Patric Young.

While Sullinger will draw the attention of the Gators’ big men, Ohio State’s perimeter will be moving without the ball and making the most of the space on the wings. Coach Thad Matta expects his team to benefit from the inside-out play a talent like Sullinger can bring to the team, much like Greg Oden did a few years back.

“Throwing it into Sully, he attracts a lot of attention, and we feel it's going to leave open shots for people on the floor,” senior Jon Diebler told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Passes will be going from inside out instead of going from the outside in like we did for the past however many years."

Expect Sullinger and the Buckeyes to keep Florida guessing all night.

Pick: Ohio State

Bettors' best friend (BBF): Tuesday's wagering tips

Lines to watch

Ohio at Temple - the total opened at 44 points but that was quickly bet up to 44.5.

Weather to watch

Ohio at Temple – 80 percent chance of showers with winds at 12 mph.

Who’s hot

Portland is 8-1 against the spread in its last nine games in Memphis.

Chicago Bulls are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games dating back to last season.

Philadelphia Flyers have won eight of their last nine games.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have one win in their last 12 games.

Who’s not

The Los Angeles Lakers have dropped two straight and have covered only once in their last nine meetings with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Atlanta Hawks have lost four of their last five straight up and against the spread.

Philadelphia 76ers have covered only two of their last nine meetings with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

New York Knicks have dropped five in a row straight up and against the spread.

Key stat

12 – number of quarters the Temple Owls defense has played since giving up their last touchdown. Over the last three games Temple has outscored its opposition 100-10.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Boo Jackson (concussion) Ohio Bobcats – Jackson is considered questionable by some reports and doubtful by others for Tuesday’s game against Temple after he was knocked out in an altercation at an Ohio bar earlier this month. However, the Ohio quarterback did take some snaps this week and there is word that he could travel with the team for the game if doctors clear him on Tuesday morning.

Game of the day

Ohio at Temple (-7.5, N/A)

Notable quotable

"I've seen Brandon get his knee drained and then go out and score 30. I told our guys not to buy into that." - New Orleans coach Monty Williams told reporters about the problems Portland’s Brandon Roy is having with his left knee. Roy managed only two points in 22 minutes of work Saturday against the Hornets and has had his knee drained a couple of times already this year. He’s listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against Memphis.

Notes and tips

It’s that time again – the circus is coming to Chicago, sending the Bulls and Blackhawks on the road trip. This year the Bulls will be away from home for seven straight games, though they may not have Kyle Kover for the beginning of the trip. He’s scheduled for an MRI on a sore right knee. The Blackhawks begin a six-day road trip Wednesday in Edmonton.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom was scheduled for an MRI on the bone bruise he’s playing through on the top of his left foot Monday, but results have yet to be released. Odom complained that the injury was burning after Sunday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns. "It's been aching, especially in the morning," Odom told reporters. "I've played a lot of basketball. Hopefully it's just wear and tear, hopefully, and there's nothing wrong." Los Angeles visits the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.

Washington Wizards rookie John Wall is dealing with a sprained arch in his left foot and was wearing a walking boot following Saturday’s 103-96 loss to the Chicago Bulls - a game in which he had to chase Derrick Rose all around the court. Wall said the foot was swollen following the loss and coach Flip Saunders added the team would have to “wait and see” about Wall’s status for Tuesday’s game.

Tale of the tape: Ohio at Temple

The Bobcats and Owls square off for a pivotal game that could be the difference at the top of the MAC East Division. Temple is set as a 7.5-point favorite with the total at 44.5.

Offense:

The Ohio Bobcats started the year 0-3 but have rebounded with six straight wins, backed by a consistent offense that has put up at least 30 points in each of those six wins. They get it done mostly on the ground, averaging 177 rushing yards per game to rank 38th in the nation.

Quarterback Philip Bates is their most dangerous running threat as he’s put up 423 yards, averaging 7.3 yards per carry. It’s still uncertain whether Bates or Boo Jackson (concussion) will start. Bates has just one passing touchdown this year while Jackson has 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

Temple also comes into this one on a hot streak having won four straight and also rely heavily on the running game. The Owls sit 46th in the country averaging 165 rushing yards per game with Bernard Pierce and Matt Brown combining for more than 1400 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Quarterback Mike Gerardi is making a big impression with the Owls. He was named MAC East Offensive Player of the Week after he threw for 368 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in downing Kansas State 28-10 as 3-point favorites.

Edge: Temple

Defense:

Temple’s defense has allowed just 10 points over its last three games, pitching a pair of shutouts. The Owls rank 18th in the country in total defense, allowing only 312 yards per game and sit among the top 30 in passing, rushing, and scoring defense. The Owls have 23 sacks on the year. In short, they’re scary good.
Ohio’s defense makes some plays too. The Bobcats check in at 33rd in the nation in total yards (335 per game) and are solid against the run, allowing about 116 yards per game. Their pass defense isn’t terrible either, but they give up 219 yards per contest through the air while yielding 21 points per game. That said, they can come down with the football too, Ohio has 15 interceptions this season, two behind a group of five teams that lead the nation with 17.

Edge: Temple

Special teams:

Ohio’s hitting 80 percent of its field goal attempts and has an average return game, taking kicks back 21.8 yards and punts at 9.8 yards.

The Owls only convert 66.7 percent of their field goals. Temple is slightly better on kickoff returns at 22.9 yards, but averages only 7.6 yards on punt returns.
Neither team excels in punting with Ohio ranking 80th nationally and Temple sitting 109th.

Edge: Ohio

From the beat reporters:

"They've got a huge offensive line, probably the biggest we've seen so far, and they're gonna try to come out and run the ball on us. It will be a good test. We've been stopping the run pretty well, and on Tuesday, something's going to give." – Ohio linebacker Jay Edwards told The Post, Ohio’s campus paper.

“I’m pleased with the way they’ve been playing. Coach D’Onofrio has done a great job with the defense, they’re executing and not giving up a lot of big plays, they’re taking the ball away and they’re giving us good field position.” - Temple coach Al Golden said of his defense.

Final score prediction:

Temple 21, Ohio 13

Ohio at Temple: What bettors need to know

The leaders in the MAC East Division meet for top honors in the conference Tuesday night.

Boo-urns

Bobcats quarterback Boo Jackson is questionable for Tuesday’s game after getting knocked out and suffering a concussion in a bar fight two weeks ago.

Jackson was involved in an altercation in which people were trying to enter a bar from an alternative entrance on November 6. Jackson was among the crowd and was KO’d by a bouncer. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and released that Sunday morning.

"I'm ready," Jackson told reporters at practice this week. "I feel one hundred percent, but the doctors have to take their precautions, and I don't want to rush into things or anything like that."

If Jackson is sidelined, Ohio will go with backup Phil Bates, a junior transfer from Iowa State. He’s thrown 20 passes, completing nine for 178 yards and is primarily used as a running back, leading the Bobcats with 423 yards and three touchdowns on the ground this season.

Jackson's status is holding back the total for Tuesday's game at many sportsbooks.

Here we go again

The Owls are going to a bowl game, again. But rest assured they’d prefer to go as the MAC champ.

Last fall, the Temple football team went into its final three Mid-American Conference outings needing to go 3-0 to assure the Owls of the East Division title and a berth in the league's championship game.

But a loss at Ohio on the last day of the regular season left Temple with only a share of the division crown and sent the Bobcats to the MAC title game.

Now, the Owls have presented themselves with much the same opportunity.

Temple defeated defensively staunch Kent State, 28-10, at Dix Stadium 10 days ago and returns home for the rematch with OU this week, with first place once again on the line.

"Every game is a season. We have 22 days where all of this is going to be determined. I think we're focused, but we're going to need a lot of energy to match their energy. It's a big game for everybody,” said Temple coach Al Golden.

After suffering a season-opening loss at Lincoln Financial Field to start the 2009 season, the Owls have bounced back to win 10 straight home games.

Sophomore spark

The insertion of sophomore QB Mike Gerardi has lifted the Owls both on and off the field.

In the last 15 quarters he's gone 54-for-81 for 865 yards, with eight touchdowns and four picks.

He's developed as a leader and person," Golden noted. "He's growing in the role. But he has been, for 4 or 5 weeks now, even before [he got in]. He's playing with poise, making good decisions. It's not just Mike. But certainly he came in and moved the ball.”

"He earned his opportunity. And he's making the most of it. He's provided us with a spark, clearly.”

Walk this way

On a typical Division-I football team, 85 players receive scholarships, while the remaining total is comprised of walk-ons.

A walk-on is an athlete who, instead of joining the team on scholarship, is required to pay for his own tuition and room and board.

But for the first three years under coach Golden, the football team had to fill a larger-than-normal portion of its roster with walk-ons, due to the program’s low academic progress rate.

Temple’s APR suffered following former coach Bobby Wallace’s decision to bring in risky junior-college transfers.

When Golden took over the program in winter 2005, he realized a successful walk-on program would be necessary to be competitive. Thus, the Local 215 was born.

“It originated from necessity because we only had 54 scholarship players our first year,” Golden said. “We were playing teams with 85, and it was going to take us two or three years before we could be a full Division I-A program again.”

Golden was faced with the unenviable task of convincing high school players to forgo any potential scholarships and instead pay their own way at Temple. He said one of the selling points he used was Temple’s low in-state tuition.

“Our in-state tuition is one of the best deals in the country,” Golden said. “If your kid wanted to play I-A football and he was from the state of Pennsylvania or from D.C., it’s one of the best values in the country in terms of the tuition.”

Gerardi, originally recruited by Connecticut before the Huskies pulled the offer, and sophomore running back Matt Brown, a 5-foot-5 native of Baltimore – two of the team’s leaders on offense – are alumni of the Local 215.

Brown established himself as a reliable offensive weapon and has rushed for 529 yards and five touchdowns on 89 carries.

“We don’t turn this program around without our walk-on program,” Golden added.

May the force be with you

Ohio defensive lineman Stafford Gatling is a force on the OU front.

Gatling, a fifth-year senior from Burlington, N.C., recorded six tackles, including 1.5 sacks and two tackles for loss with a forced fumble in Ohio's 34-17 win over Buffalo on November 4. He was named Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week last Monday by the league office.

Gatling's constant pressure in the Buffalo backfield helped hold the Bulls to 84 yards passing and just eight completions in 27 attempts.

For the season, “Gatling-gun” has connected for five sacks and 11 tackles for loss to go along with 39 tackles.

You need to know

• Under head coach Frank Solich, OU is 28-12-2 against the spread in conference games, including 12-4 off back-to-back wins.

• The Owls are 33-21-3 against the spread in all games under Golden, including 17-7-1 in games off a win and 4-0 in last home games.

• The Bobcats are 24-12-2 against the spread in their last 38 conference games, including 8-1 versus an opponent off back-to-back wins.

• The host team in this series is 3-0 straight up and against the spread.

PICK 'N' ROLL

Tuesday's Best NBA Bets

New York Knicks at Denver Nuggets (-9, 216.5)

Carmelo Anthony has been linked to the New York Knicks in numerous trade rumors for months. At least the Knicks will get a first-hand look at what Anthony brings to the table on Tuesday.

‘Melo leads the Nuggets in just about every significant statistical category with 25 points, eight rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. Plus, he just helped the Nuggets hand the Lakers their first loss of the year with 32 points and 13 rebounds. After the game, Kobe Bryant had his own opinions about all the ‘Melo trade rumors.

"I think people are making too big of a deal out of it,'' Bryant said. “(Stuff) happens. He's still here. You got to continue to play. The day he gets traded then it will be a story.''

Considering the start Anthony has had to the year, it seems like that’s the approach he’s taking too. As long as he keeps doing that, it’s good news for Nuggets bettors.

Pick: Denver Nuggets


Philadelphia 76ers at Cleveland Cavaliers (N/A)

Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins is introducing rookie Evan Turner to the NBA just how he wants to – slowly.

The 22-year-old swing man is averaging 8.5 points and 2.1 assists per game and is playing a lot less than Washington’s John Wall as Philadelphia wants to make sure not to tire him out early.

"It's a big growth to step into the NBA and all of a sudden, you're on a road trip and you're playing in Oklahoma City Wednesday, and then you travel," Collins told reporters of Philadelphia’s recent schedule. "You got Dallas and you fly and get in late and you got to learn how to handle how to tell the difference from college, where you play every four days. It's a part of the growth experience and Evan will be fine."

Turner has started four straight games, looking really good in the first two and not so good in the final pair. That’s to be expected from the kid and there’s no point in rushing him along with this team. Philadelphia has dropped three straight and has just two wins on the year.

Expect to see a couple of struggling teams going bucket-for-bucket on Tuesday.
