3* MIAMI(OH) -10(even) over Akron (6pm ET)
The zips are 0-10 and they are dead last in total offense. They have only scored 20+ points in three games this season. Those three games are the only games where they have totaled over 300+ yards of offense. They are also #107 versus the pass and #113 in total defense. The Redskins are 6-4 on the year and their four losses are against some pretty good competition losing to Florida, Missouri, Cincinnati and Ohio. They are ranked #40 on defense and they are in the top 40 in passing offense. The only negative is that this is their fifth road game in the last six weeks, but the Zips are a very limited team on offense so Miami should have no problem here tonight. Also Miami still has a shot to win the MAC title with a little help. Lets back them here tonight. Miami 27 Akron 10!!
NBA:
2* Washington +13.5 over the Celtics(7:30 pm) - The Celtics have been off since Saturday. If I can use last year as a guide, this was the type of situation where Doc Rivers took his foot off the pedal and let the boys rest up. They will do just enough to win(or maybe not they did have some horrific home losses last year) but covering double digits will be tough. Delonte West will be back from suspension tonight, so look for him to get some good minutes as he gets back into playing shape. Supposedly there will be no Wall tonight, but I heard he made the flight with the Wizards and why would they do that if he wasn't going to play?
NCAABB:
2* Loyola Marymount +5.5 over Bradley(8:30 pm) - Loyola is going to surprise a lot of teams this year. This is their best team since the run and gun days of Bo Kimble and Hank Geathers. They return most of their team that went 18-16 last year. They also did a barnstorming tour in Europe to get some more experience in. I love when teams play these games before their season actually starts as they tend to be so much more in sync early and surprise people. Bradley is getting this line based on previous reputation and home court alone. Bradley barely squeaked out wins over D2 Tx-kingsville and a not so good N. Ill squad. Their main problem is they lost their All conference Player Brown for the season a couple of weeks ago. LMU just might win this game outright.
NHL
2* St Louis +165 over Detroit
At one point the Red Wings would welcome the Blues into their arena at any time because it usually resulted in a win. However, the Blues no longer dread trips to Detroit's Joe Louis Arena, where they have won three of the last four meetings and earned points in five of the last seven contests against the Red Wings. Halak has hit a small road bump stopping only 52 of the last 64 shots against for a three-game save percentage of .813. Tonight he should be able to get back on track. The Blues have focused on limiting opposing offense opportunities and bringing in a little more power on their own offense. The Blues promoted forward T.J. Hensick from Peoria and assigned forward Nicholas Drazenovic to the same club. The 24-year-old Hensick is Peoria's top scorer with six goals and 15 points in 13 games. Acquired in a June trade with Colorado, Hensick has 11 goals and 35 points in 99 NHL games.
