Just starting out here and in a few weeks will be moving to a professional site; however, feel free to check out the plays(free and paid) until then... Also like Atlanta and Toronto on the ice this evening, but may not have time to do a write up.
NCAAB: 3-1-1 NBA: 1-0 NFL: 1-0
Florida Atlantic Owls at New Orleans Privateers (-3.0)
Last year these 2 split their two meetings, with each team winning at home. Home court seems to be an advantage not only in this series, but against any opponent in this young season for both teams. They are both undefeated at home; however, both only have 1 win each on the road and a combined road record of 2-7. Therefore, New Orleans seems like the right play here, 4-0 on their home hardwood. The Owls have a brand new group of guys with no returning starters and needed overtime to beat a Division II Royals squad. While the Privateers have Tyrna as a returning starter and Carmouche as a player who played double digits minutes in last year’s contest. Lastly both teams play a small 3 guard line up; however, The Owls go 5’6”, 6’2”, and 6’4” in the back court, while The Privateers have all three players at 6’2”. The major issue is both teams players up front, Florida Atlantic only has their front court listed at 6’6” and 6’8” and New Orleans goes 6’8” and 6’10”...causing match up problem that The Owls may have to counter by bringing in less experience big men in Royster and Mattison off the bench. With this smaller line up, rebounding will be an issue for Florida Atlantic and they have lost that battle in 4 out of their last 5, while New Orleans has dominated the glass winning in that category in their last four games. If this game in close down the wire, The Privateers have the advantage from the charity stripe and their home fans should provide the extra boost need to cover this spread.
PICK: Privateers -2.5
Oklahoma City Thunder at Denver Nuggets (207.5)
Every time these two meet...the number seems to go over and even big totals like 226 and 227. In fact, in those two games the point totals were 298 and 284 points and all of their last 9 meeting have gone over the total. If you even a defensive struggle you may want to watch something else because this game will feature scoring...scoring...scoring, and lots of it. Both teams should score over 100 points and put this game over with ease. In Denver’s last game they faced a tough Phoenix opponent and that game was most likely a measuring stick for both teams, who seemed to step up the defence and create an almost playoff like atmosphere. Now that The Nuggets have that big win this will be looking to just coast here against The Thunder. These teams should struggle to match up on the defensive end, which will result in baskets being traded pushing this game over the total.
PICK: Over 207.5
