'NBA Favorite After Blowout Loss'

NBA handicapping being very situational it's always prudent to have in your handicapping tool box a list of 'What-2-Watch-4'. One situation that has proven profitable is to 'Play-On' a regular season favorite after a blowout loss (-15 or more points). The logic is pretty simple. We have a team who just got taken behind the woodshed and is still considered good enough to be favored. Not only are these teams typically going to be good, they're also going to be motivated following the beat-down. Since 2012, favorites in this situation have cashed at a 54.4% clip (160-129-5 ATS). Although there's nothing wrong with cashing 54.4% of tickets, we can improve the hit rate to 63.0% (51-27-3 ATS) if we focus solely on a road favorite off a blowout loss. Perhaps the best situation to keep an eye out for is to 'Play-On' a regular season road favorite off a -15 or more point loss playing a conference opponent off a win. It won't pop up often but given the hit rate paying attention can pay off handsomely. The situation has certainly passed the test of time, since 2010 these motivated road favorites have been consistent winners cashing 70.4% of tickets (19-8 ATS) including a sparkling 12-2 (85.7%) streak against the betting line since 2012.

2015 PGA Preview
By Dan Daly

After the Patriots pulled out an unbelievable win in the Super Bowl on Sunday, I ask Bill Belichick what he thought of the game and he simply said, "We're on to Golf"

So, welcome back to the Weekly Waggle 2015 edition.

I will be with you for the next 30 weeks breaking down everything relevant and more likely irrelevant on and off the course on the PGA Tour.

The 2015 PGA Tour season may have officially started back in September but let’s be honest; was anyone really paying attention until football season was over? I didn’t think so. As far as I’m concerned the 2015 PGA Tour season doesn’t officially kickoff until the week following the Super Bowl. So here are my 18 guaranteed predictions for the “official” 2015 PGA Tour season:

18. Jim Furyk will blow at least one golf tournament this year. Actually…make that two. With zero wins. Ok, ok, so I copied and pasted that one from last year (and the year before that for that matter) but as the great Roy MacAvoy once said, “You ride her ‘til she bucks you…or don't ride at all.”

17. Bubba Watson took his douchebag level to an all-time high in the fall of 2014. First he announced to the world that “The Biebs” is his favorite singer, then he got his wife’s name tattooed on his ring finger before topping it off with some horrible “Bubba Claus” music video. But Bubba wasn’t done there. He tried to raise the bar in 2015 last week with his Brandi Chastain impression at a Putt-Putt of all places. Dude, you won two Green Jackets, act like you’ve been there. Yet somehow, someway Bubba will do something in 2015 that will surpass even those things on the d-bag scale. Oh, and he won’t contend in any majors and will probably win two mediocre Tour events. In case you can’t tell Bubba has officially come in at number one on my least likable athletes in all of sports.

16. Rickie Fowler will FINALLY win another tournament on tour this year, in fact, he will win a major this year. Why? Not because of his swing changes with Butch Harmon, or his incredible run with his putter; but because he will finally dress a little more normal, shave his porn-stache, turn his hat around the right way and most importantly publically break up with his BFF Bubba after the aforementioned incidents leave him no choice.

15. Dustin Johnson will get bored with his comeback attempt on the PGA Tour having to stay clean and sober and by April will retire from professional golf, move to Columbia with his wife Paulina and their kid and make money charging people to see Paulina’s Instagram pictures.

14. Contrary to popular belief, Rory McIllroy will not win the “Rory Slam”, the Grand Slam or pass Jack and Tiger in career majors in 2015 to become the greatest golfer that ever lived. In fact, despite having by far the best odds of anyone to win at least one major in 2015 (8/11), Rory will win exactly Zero majors in 2015. But he will continue to “date” incredibly hot women between the ages of 21-27 and will win three PGA tournaments this year…just not the ones that really matter.

13. Patrick Reed will finish the 2015 PGA tour season having STILL never cracked the top 5 World Rankings, yet will go all Rickie Henderson on us after winning some spare tournament like the Travelers Championship and drop the “Today I am the greatest of all time" line on David Feherty leaving David, and all 489 people watching The Travelers tournament speechless…And he will genuinely believe it.

12. Miguel Angel Jimenez will break every record ever set on the Senior PGA Tour this year and will actually be the greatest of all time. Both on and off the course.

11. Tiger Woods has gone from having arguable the greatest short game in the history of golf to arguably the worst. I’ve never seen anything like it actually. However he will figure it out sooner than later and once he does he will win a Major in 2015, get engaged to Lindsey Vonn, win three other non-majors, chase Dan Jenkins out of a press conference with a 9-iron, and keep a plastic surgeon on permanent retainer.

10. Henrick Stenson/Justin Rose/Jason Day/Matt Kuchar/Jimmy Walker/Martin Kaymer – Will all continue to be very good golfers that will combine to win seven tournaments this year (no majors) between them but do absolutely nothing exciting in the process on or off the course. I mean, unless you consider Matt Kuchar playing mixed doubles with his wife exciting?

9. Sergio Garcia will win the PLAYERS Championship and in a complete state of excitement accidentally admit to punching Tiger Woods in the face and thus the real reason Tiger lost his tooth back in January.

8. Adam Scott will file for divorce citing, ‘having sex with only one beautiful woman at a time is just not acceptable for me.’ He will then immediately pull out the Maxim top 100 issue and start checking them off two to three at a time.

7. FOX will absolutely destroy the US Open coverage. Greg Norman and Joe Buck will make all of you that hated on Johnny Miller beg for him back by Thursday afternoon.

6. Phil Mickelson will continue to be the greatest father and husband this country has ever seen. As a result of focusing ‘all of his time and energy on his family’ he will manage to barely make two of the four cuts in the majors, not finish a single tournament in the top 10 and drop out of the top 30 players in the world. But will continue to drink coffee every morning from his ‘World’s Greatest Dad’ mug.

5. Jordan Spieth will have his break out season by winning a Major, contending in two others and adding three other tournament wins to go with it and claim the Player of the Year award on the PGA Tour. However as an avid Cowboys fan he will get a favorable ruling one week to help him win only to get an equally bad ruling the next week that will cost him a tournament.

4. Masters – Rory will lead through 36 before having an epic Saturday afternoon meltdown and follow that up with a backdoor top-10 on Sunday. Bubba will not be invited to defend because the folks at ANGC don’t take kindly to shirtless men with tattoos on their fingers; and Mickelson’s arthritis will cause him to WD halfway through the second round well above the cut line.

Your winner? Jordan Spieth. With Bubba out of the way this year Jordan will finish what he started last year at Augusta.

3. US Open – Tiger will show signs of getting it together and will hang around but never really contend. Martin Kaymer will play the same golf course as everyone else this year and finish near the middle of the pack. Phil’s career grand slam chances will be an afterthought by Friday and Rory will be right there come Sunday but won’t be able to close it out.

Your winner at Chambers Bay this year? Rickie Fowler. Riding a hot putter and unbelievable iron play Rickie will finally get his second win and first major on the PGA Tour.

2. British Open – The last time the Open Championship was played at St. Andrews Tiger Woods was in the middle of sex therapy and withdrawals. This go around Tiger will be in the middle of his worst slump of his career. But even the great Jack Nicklaus had some pretty brutal stretches late in his career. With six months to get his short game together and returning to his favorite golf course on the planet Tiger will put it all together at least one more time for 72 holes and get major number 15. And if he doesn’t, and he can’t win at St. Andrew’s Tiger is officially done.

1. PGA Championship – Let’s just get right to it. Your winner? Dustin Johnson. Wait, what? Didn’t you just say he would retire from the PGA Tour and move to Columbia? As a matter of fact I did. HOWEVER…I have full faith that his father-in-law will send John Goodman down to clean him up and get him back on his feet just in time to win the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits and totally redeem himself from the screw job he got the last time he should have won a PGA there. At which point he will trump all previous winners by filling the Wannamaker to the brim with Blow and posting a picture of him and Paulina naked on a beach somewhere with the trophy between them and the Hashtag #Itsbeenrealbitches #Imout

19th Hole – Because quite frankly that’s where he is most comfortable…John Patrick Daly will win an official PGA Tour event in 2015. I’m going to get this right one year damnit!

NCAAB Tuesday's Tip Sheet
By David Schwab

As the men’s college basketball season heads into the month of February, thoughts start to turn towards which four teams will further sharpen their game over the next four weeks to move into prime position to grab one of the four heavily coveted top seeds in this season’s NCAA Tournament. Turning to Tuesday’s slate, there are two teams that have such lofty aspirations in action starting with Wisconsin playing host to Indiana in the Big Ten. Kentucky will continue its quest for perfection with an SEC matchup at home against Georgia.

Indiana Hoosiers vs. No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Wisconsin -15

Indiana snapped a two-game straight-up skid with this past Saturday’s 72-64 victory against Rutgers, but it has now failed to cover in its last three outings after closing as an 11 ½-point home favorite. The Hoosiers are 6-3 SU in Big Ten play, but just 4-5 against the spread. Freshman guard James Blackmon Jr. exceeded his team-high 16.5 point scoring average with 20 points in Saturday’s win and sophomore forward Troy Williams added 14 points and 12 rebounds to help seal a much needed victory. Indiana is ranked 14th in the nation in scoring with 80.3 points per game and it is shooting 47.8 percent from the field.

The Badgers moved to 7-1 SU in conference play with Saturday’s 74-63 victory against Iowa as 5 ½-point road favorites, but they are only 3-4-1 ATS in those eight games. The total went OVER the closing 130-point line in that win and it has gone OVER in six of eight Big Ten games this year. Senior forward Frank Kaminsky continues to be a one-man wrecking crew with 17.6 points and 8.3 rebounds a game. He exploded for 24 points and nine rebounds against the Hawkeyes. Wisconsin is averaging 73.6 points a game, while holding opposing teams to just 55.5 on the other end of the court.

Betting Trends

-- The Hoosiers have failed to cover ATS in five of their last seven road games, but they are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss. The total has gone OVER in six of their last eight games on the road.

-- The Badgers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games and they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win. The total has stayed UNDER in nine of their last 13 games played on a Tuesday.

-- The underdog in this matchup has gone 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in four of the last six games. Wisconsin is 9-1 SU in the last 10 meetings with a 7-3 edge ATS.

Georgia Bulldogs vs. No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats (ESPNU, 7 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Kentucky -19

The Bulldogs’ five-game winning streak both SU and ATS came to a screeching halt in this past Sunday’s 67-50 loss to South Carolina as 4 ½-point underdogs on the road. It was actually just the first time Georgia failed to cover in its last seven games and the total has now stayed UNDER in three of its last four outings. Balance and depth have been two of the keys to success this season with five different players scoring in double figures. Senior guard Marcus Thornton has led the way with 13.5 PPG and 7.3 rebounds, but he remains doubtful for Tuesday after missing his last game with a concussion. The Bulldogs are averaging 71.2 PPG and shooting 44.7 percent from the field.

Winning big has become fairly common with the Wildcats’ run through the SEC with double-digit victories in four of their last five conference games. Despite the dominance on the court, Kentucky has been a tough bet with a 3-5 record ATS in SEC play this year. The total has gone OVER in its last two contests after staying UNDER in its previous four games. The 21-0 SU (11-9-1 ATS) Wildcats are the poster child for balance and depth with seven different players averaging at least 7.5 points a game. They are scoring 74.1 PPG and shooting 46.1 percent from the floor. Under the boards they are pulling down an average of 39.2 rebounds a game.

Betting Trends

-- The Bulldogs are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six road games and they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games following an ATS loss. The total has stayed UNDER in 11 of their last 16 games on the road.

-- The Wildcats are 6-7-1 ATS in 13 previous home games this season and the total has stayed UNDER in 15 of their 21 games overall. It has also stayed UNDER in 20 of its last 26 games played at home.

-- Head-to-head in this matchup, the home team has won six of the last seven meetings SU and the total has stayed UNDER in four of the last six games. Kentucky has a 4-1 edge ATS in the last five meetings.

College Basketball: Streaks, Tips, Notes -

Georgia Bulldogs at Kentucky Wildcats February 3, 07:00 EST

John Calipari's Wildcats (21-0, 10-8 ATS) kept the flawless run intact Saturday defeating Alabama by 20 points. Wildcats an effective offensive team netting 74.1 points/game but their strength comes at the defensive end with it's top-ranked scoring defense (50.7 PPG) and top ranked field-goal defense (32.5%). Kentucky, in a class all to themselves its not difficult to make a case for Wildcats when they host Georgia Bulldogs (14-6, 11-6-2 ATS).

But, you bet Cali's Cats with some risk. The Wildcats have a tendency to falter against the betting line when running the hardwood against a conference opponent (3-10 ATS). On the other side, the Bulldogs have thrived against the number facing a conference opponent posting a 6-2 ATS mark this season, 13-5 ATS record the past fifteen vs the SEC.

The 'Under' has been a good choice at Rupp Arena with Wildcats going 5-20-1 O/U and has trended 'Under' when Bulldogs are on the road (5-11 O/U). Final betting nugget, the 'Under' has hit the past four matchups between these conference rivals.

Game of the Day: Indiana at Wisconsin

Indiana Hoosiers at Wisconsin Badgers (OFF, OFF)

Fourth-ranked Wisconsin goes after its 14th victory in the last 15 meetings with Indiana when it hosts the No. 25 Hoosiers on Tuesday. The Badgers are atop the Big Ten standings and the current crop of Wisconsin players hasn’t won a conference crown. “If you look further ahead, you’re going to slip up,” guard Josh Gasser told reporters. “We understand how competitive this league is; every night is going to be a battle and there’s a lot of season left. We haven’t done anything yet.”

The Hoosiers slipped off the pace in the Big Ten race with consecutive losses before bouncing back with a victory over Rutgers on Saturday. “We’re happy to be in the mix, but we’re not satisfied at all,” guard James Blackmon Jr. told reporters. “We know we had a couple games that we could have got under our belt, so at Wisconsin we know that it’s going to be a great environment and a huge game, so I think we’re going to come prepared for it.” The Badgers have won four straight games after defeating Iowa on Saturday.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "Long gone are the days of Bobby Knight back when Indiana dominated this series. Since his departure in 2000 the Hoosiers are just 6-20 SU and 10-16 ATS in this series, including 1-14 SU and 3-12 ATS since 2008. On the flip side the Badgers have been like money in the bank since the start of last year’s NCAA tournament, entering tonight game on a 22-3 SU and 15-8-2 ATS run. With no Knight sighting in the offing, can only look one way here tonight." Marc Lawrence

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "Bo Ryan's kids always play a very clean game, from fouls to turnovers. You have to be equally as disciplined to beat them. The Hoosiers are not a good rebounding team and if they want to stay competitive Tuesday they have to be better because Wisky is really crashing the boards right now. We're going to put up a big spread to try and entice some Indy action. Both teams have been cashing Overs regularly so I expect we will see some action on
that side of the total." John Lester, senior lines manager.

ABOUT INDIANA (16-6, 6-3 Big Ten): Forward Troy Williams averages 13 points and a team-leading 6.3 rebounds and is coming off a strong performance against Rutgers with 14 points and tying a career best with 12 boards. “That’s the Troy Williams that we need to have,” Hoosiers coach Tom Crean told reporters. “The points to me are a byproduct of his efficiency, his activity, his desire to get to the basket, his desire to deflect and defend, his desire to rebound, the energy that he played with and usually when he plays like that, he gets the points.” Blackmon averages a team-best 16.5 points with Ferrell close behind at 16.1 and both players have made 51 3-point baskets.

ABOUT WISCONSIN (19-2, 7-1): Center Frank Kaminsky is on a tear with four 20-point outings in five games and had 24 points and nine rebounds against Iowa. The 7-footer leads the Badgers in scoring (17.6), rebounding (8.3), blocked shots (33) and steals (19) and is tied for second with 23 3-point baskets. Forwards Sam Dekker (12.6) and Nigel Hayes (12.4) also average in double digits but Wisconsin continues to ride a defense that allows just 55.5 points per game.

TRENDS:

*The Over is 5-1 in Indiana's last six overall
*The Over is 4-1 in Wisconsin's last five overall
*Wisconsin is 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games
*The underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings

(505) MIAMI HEAT VS (506) DETROIT PISTONS

Take: (505) MIAMI HEAT

Despite not having Dwayne Wade for an indfeinite period now, the Heat still finding ways to cover, especially on the road where they are 6-0-1 their last seven. The Pistons also are without a big gun as Bradon Jennings is lost for the season, that's 15.4 points and 6.6 assists per game they are losing. The Heat have done great in Detroit, going 10-3-1 their last 14 trips to the Motor City. In addition, the road team is 5-0 the last five meetings. Should be a low scoring game and that will favor the Heat.
