Who is Noah? The guy who plays for the bulls?
Burns' pick is advertised like this:
Ben Burns' 10* #1 Total Of The Month! (13-4 L17 CFB!)
After taking a pass on the Las Vegas Bowl, Ben Burns returns to the college gridiron with his very first *10* of this year's bowl season. Ben is coming off another MASSIVE BOWL CAMPAIGN & his BIG plays were MONEY IN THE BANK. Currently, he's on an AWESOME 13-4 NCAA FOOTBALL RUN & this is his #1 TOTAL OF THE MONTH.
My apologies for not remembering which Noah you were asking about.
He got his Christmas wish as the world sent him millions of cards. He celebrated Christmas as scheduled the weekend of the 11<SUP>th</SUP>, 12<SUP>th</SUP> and 13<SUP>th</SUP> and died the following Monday.
Our prayers are with his family. Sorry to pass on this bad news.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

I rate each pick 1 to 5 units with 5 being the strongest play (read about units). Risk 1% of your bankroll per unit (never risk more than 5% of total bankroll on any pick).
Game: Atlanta at Boston (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Boston -160 (moneyline) (risk 5 to win 3.1)
The Bruins will be glad to get back home as they had a bad road stretch, but are 4-1 in their last five at home. The Thrashers have had a tough go on the road of late as they have come out on the right side just once in their last five. They have been outscored 18-11 in the five games, so nothing is working right now for them on the road as they are having trouble at both ends. The Bruins have been turning out the cash at home where they are 43-21 in their last 64. The Thrashers’ problems will get worse here as the Bruins have their number. Boston has taken the last seven meetings and I like them to extend that to eight tonight. Boston gets the call.
Game: Buffalo at Washington (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Washington -160 (moneyline) (risk 5 to win 3.1)
The Capitals have it rolling and that makes them even tougher at home where they have been stellar in six of their last seven games. They have punished visiting teams by a count of 30-17 in the process, or on average by 1.6 goals per game. That may be trouble for a Sabres offense that has been leaking oil of late with just 22 goals in their last 10 games. That has left them stranded to a 3-8 mark in their last 11 on the road as a dog of +110 to +150. The Caps are really getting it done as a favorite, now 71-33 in their last 104, and the favorite has been on the winning side in 11 of the last 16 in this series. I like Washington here.
Game: Ottawa at Pittsburgh (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Game Total UNDER 5.5 -120 (risk 4 to win 3.3)
The Pittsburgh Penguins seldom give up much at home. This season bares that out as they have allowed 43 goals on home ice in their 19 games played here, barely over 2 per contest. The Senators have netted just 24 in their last 11 on the road, and are coming here off of being shutout. With one day of rest, the Penguins have played 10-1 to the UNDER in their last 11, and overall as a favorite their UNDER mark is 19-7-1 in their last 27. In their last nine games, the UNDER has scored the cash in eight of them. I like this one to stay UNDER the total.
Game: Toronto at New York Islanders (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on New York Islanders -110 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.7)
Trips to the Island usually meant an easy win for teams, but that has undergone some change of late. The Islanders started with just one of the first five at home ending on the right side, but have since been over .500. Maple Leafs stuck on 2, as in 2 goals scored in each of their last three, bringing their season total to 19 games at 2 or less. This will be the Leafs 4th game in six nights, a situation they have a woeful 9-19 mark in. That doesn't bode well coming to a building where they have just a 4-14 mark in their last 18 visits. I'll go with the Islanders here.
Game: Columbus at Dallas (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Columbus +125 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 3.8)
What happened to the Blue Jackets? They were sailing along and now have had just two of their last 15 end on the right side. Those numbers could be so different if not for the fact they have five shootout losses in the stretch, so it’s not as bad as it appears. Dallas hasn't been pretty lately either as they have allowed 47 goals in their last 13 games, or 3.6 per contest. There is certainly room for Columbus to find a way to get healthy here as they are 5-1 in their last six vs. a team with a losing home record. The Stars aren’t shinning in the home-favorite role from -110 to -150, at just 3-9 in their last 12. There is added value by the Jackets’ success in Dallas winning five of the last seven. I'll go with Columbus here.
Game: Columbus at Dallas (8:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Columbus +1.5 goals -290 (puckline) (risk 5 to win 1.7)
Neither of these teams are playing well right now, but Columbus has had the edge here as they have come away with the win in five of the last seven trips here. The Stars are having trouble converting at just 3-9 as a home favorite of -110 to -150, making this even sweeter. Add in the fact that in their last 13 games they have won just one of them by more than a single goal, and Columbus is the play on the puckline.
Game: Anaheim at Phoenix (9:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Game Total UNDER 5.5 -135 (risk 4 to win 3)
The Coyotes are simply not a consistent offensive team. They scored 5 in their last game, and that is a excellent omen for the UNDER as each time they have reached 4 or more goals this season in a game, they have followed it with an UNDER! The Ducks are not very offensive on the road with just 28 scores in their last 13 games. The Ducks have a tremendous UNDER signature, when playing on no days of rest as they have gone 78-38-11 to the UNDER. The Coyotes are 18-6-2 in their last 26 following a win to the UNDER, so I'll go with the UNDER in this one.
