FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 29, 2009

Greetings. We were very bad last night-our first losing night in quite some time- with a terrible 3-4 record. We did nail our Lock, but our overall season ATS record now stands at 109-92-5. For Locks, we are 4-2-1. On with tonight’s picks:

 

LOCKS:

Knicks @ Pistons -4.5: Only one Lock tonight and this is it. The Pistons are finally getting their stars healthy, but they are in a terrible funk. It will take some time for them to get back to the standards they are used to. That said, we love them tonight. Consider that the home team in this match-up is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 meetings. We love the healthy Pistons. Take the Pistons and give the points.

PICKS

Thunder @ Wizards +1: For the first time this season the Thunder have won 3 straight games. They go for their 4th tonight and we love their chances. They are hot right now and Kevin Durant is playing as well as anyone. Take the Thunder and give the point.

 

Cavs @ Hawks -2: We love that the Hawks are favored in this. We think they are a much better team. They play well together and they can run with anyone. They have too many weapons. Look for a terrible game from Shaq tonight. Take the Hawks and give the points.

 

Pacers @ Bulls -7: This line is pretty comical given how bad the Bulls are and their coaching woes. Still, they should rally around their coach and play with some intensity at home, but don’t be surprised if the pacers win outright. This is too many points to pass up. Take the Pacers and the points

 

Timberwolves @ Spurs -11: The T’Wolves are on a decent spell as of late while the Spurs have been consistently inconsistent. On paper the Spurs dominate this match-up, but the Spurs are only 2-12 ATS in their last 14 against the NBA Northwest and they are very bad as double digit favorites. Take the T’Wolves and the points.

 

Hornets @ Rockets -6: We are very curious as to how the Rockets are going to respond to the TMac drama. The Hornets are iffy at best, but we love the points. Plus, the Hornets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games in Houston. We like CP3 in this one. He will get them the cover. Take the Hornets and the points.

 

Warriors @ Lakers -11.5: The Lakers seem to be in one of their ruts, but they are at home facing a Warriors team that is still injured and just not as good. This is the perfect rebound game for the Lakers. Even without Artest, the Lakers should dominate this game. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

Seven more games. Good luck.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 28, 2009

Greetings. We are closing the 2009 portion of the season in winning style. Our season ATS record stands at 106-88-5. Of that, our locks are 3-2-1. We know it is not where we need to be, but we are winning each night. 7 Games on the docket tonight. This is what we like:

 

LOCKS

Thunder @ Nets +6: The Nets are making a habit of getting blown out this year. Of their 28 losses, only 9 have been by fewer than 10 points. They are a joke of a team right now. The Thunder will win their third straight. Take the Thunder and give the points.

 

PICKS

Bucks @ Bobcats -4.5: Bobcats are a completely different team at home (24-11 ATS in their last 35 home games) and they love Monday night games (9-2 ATS in their last 11). However, we still aren’t buying that they are a good team. Brandon Jennings has come down to reality as of late, but we like them to cover. They match-up well with the Bobcats. Take the Bucks and the points.

 

Wizards @ Grizzlies -5.5: We love the Wizards’ D in this game. We think they match-up well against the Grizzlies. Don’t be surprised in Washington wins outright. Take the Wizards and the points.

 

Lakers @ Suns +1: The Lakers have dominated this match-up as of late and look to build some momentum after their overtime win against the Kings. The Lakers are exactly what the Suns hate-a large and athletic team that plays well together. That is the recipe for beating the Suns. The Suns are off one of their worse performances of the season last time out. Even without Artest, the Lakers will still get the best of them. Take the Lakers and give the point.

Nuggets @ Kings +2: The Nuggets have been terrible since Chauncey Billups injured his groin. However, the Kings will probably be without Tyreke Evans and Sean May tonight. Those are bigger losses. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

 

76ers @ Trail Blazers -6: The 76ers have dominated this match-up as of late and they should get Iverson back tonight. The Blazers have been hot-covering in their last 4 games. We don’t think it will be 5 straight tonight. Take the 76ers and the points.

Celtics @ Warriors +6: The Celtics are one of the best road teams in the league, but they have not done well when visiting the Warriors. Still, they play outstanding D. The Warriors are hot off their pounding of a Suns team that played no D whatsoever. Tonight will be different. They will get all the D they can handle tonight. Take the Celtics and give the points.

 

Road team sweep for us tonight. That hasn’t happened before, but we are sticking with our system.

 

Good Luck,

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 16, 2009

Greetings folks. We are loving this NBA season and we are coming at you with new angles with which you can make some scratch. Between early NFL action this week, the NCAA Bowl Season and NBA every night, we’ve been crunching numbers like mad!!! For the NBA, our overall season ATS record stands at 93-80-4. Of that, we are 3-1 ATS in our locks. If you’ve followed our site, you know that typically we have stayed away from giving “locks.” This is because we are confident with every game we pick/make public. Simply put, if it doesn’t pass our tests, we don’t pick it. That said, through our numbers crunching, we’ve noticed things that seem to come true even more than our typical picks. These are our “locks,” but note that they don’t pop-up too much so there may be nights where none exist. Tonight, we have two!!!!! Here is what we like:

LOCKS OF THE NIGHT

Lakers @ Bucks +5.5: The Lakers are the lock. Press this like crazy. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

Wizards @ Kings -3: The Wizards are the lock. Go crazy. Take the Wizards and the points.

 

PICKS

Cavs @ 76ers +6: Take the Cavs and give the points.

 

Raptors @ Magic -11: Take the Magic and give the points.

Bobcats @ Pacers -3.5: Take the Bobcats and the points.

Grizzlies @ Hawks -9.5: Take the Grizzlies and the points.

Jazz @ Nets +8.5: Take the Nets and the points.

Mavs @ Thunder +2.5: Take the Thunder and the points.

Pistons @ Hornets -4.5: Take the Hornets and give the points.

Clippers @ T’Wolves -1.5: Take the Clippers and the points.

Rockets @ Nuggets -8.5: Take the Nuggets and give the points.

Spurs @ Warriors +5.5: Take the Warriors and the points.

There you go-12 winners for tonight!!!!

Good luck,

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 4, 2009

Greetings folks. We were back on the winning side with a 2-1 night. Feels good to win, but we know we blew it on the Heat-Nuggets game. That is how it goes sometimes, and we know we will keep it rollin’. There are 10 games on the docket tonight and we love it! Be sure to check out our posts for this weekend’s NFL and NCAA Football slates. There is a ton of action this weekend and it all starts tonight! On with the picks:

 

Raptors @ Wizards -3.5: The Raptors can’t buy a win or cover (0-5 ATS in their last 5 games). The Wizards seem to be geling and coming together as a team. That said, we like the Raptors tonight. They match-up well with the Wizards. Early in the week, we used that same logic to successfully predict Washington’s cover in Toronto. We are using it again here, but our calculations like the Raptors. Take the Raptors and the points.

 

Knicks @ Hawks -11: The Knicks have been cover demons as of late and have burned us pretty good. They are 28-13-1 ATS in their last 42 road games. It also helps them that the road team in this series is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings. That said, we love the Hawks in this one. They are more athletic than the Knicks and they play better D. We think the Knicks will have an off shooting night. Take the Hawks and give the points.

 

Celtics @ Thunder +4.5: The Thunder are quickly becoming our favorite team. We love Kevin Durant, too. This team is a lot of fun to watch. Jeff Green is one of the most underrated players in the league. We love their energy and it is just a matter of time before Durant wins his first MVP. That said, the Celtics are a different animal. They are on fire right now and taking care of business. When that team is on, only the Lakers can rivaly them. The Thunder will be without Nenad Kristic. That will be a huge loss. Take the Celtics and give the points.

 

Timberwolves @ Hornets -9: The T’Wolves seem to have found their groove while the Hornets have struggled under their new coach and without CP3. Speaking of CP3, he was upgraded tonight to questionable. He would be a ridiculous lift for the Hornets. That said, even without him, we like the Hornets at home. They are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings with the T’Wolves. Take the Hornets and give the points.

 

Bobcats @ Nets +4: The Nets are offically the worse team in NBA history. They are a joke of a franchise and Jay Z must be trying to expedite their move to Brooklyn. If this keeps up, the Jersey fans will probably volunteer to move them themselves. The Bobcats have hit some snags as of late, but their D is just way too good for the Nets. They are disciplined and play well together. They will cut the Nets apart. Take the Bobcats and give the points.

Mavericks @ Grizzlies +6.5: The Mavs own this series as of late (17-7-1 ATS in the last 25 meetings overall and 9-3 ATS in the last 12 games in Memphis). Memphis is finally home after a daunting 5 game trip where they 1-4 ATS. That said, the Mavs are soft and have a tendency to take games off after going on a string of solid wins. The Grizzlies are young and can out hussle the Mavs. Take the Grizzlies and the points.

Bucks @ Pistons -2.5: The Bucks have struggled as of late against Detroit (3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings), and the favorite is 7-3 ATS in their last meetings. The Pistons are still without their playmakers and they were dominated in Chicago earlier in the week. The loss to Chicago was no fluke. The Pistons are just not that good right now. We are on the Brandon Jennings bandwaggon right now. We think he has a big night. Bogut should be strong in the paint. Take the Bucks and the points

 

Bulls @ Cavs -13: This is a ton of points to give, but we know there is a reason why this line is so high. The Bulls are just not that good and they will still be without Kirk Hinrich. The Cavs are back to dominating teams again and they are rested. They will roll over the Bulls tonight at home. The Bulls are terrible on the road (2-8 SU), but one of their two wins came against the Cavs. However, this is a different Cavs team. They will get payback tonight. Take the Cavs and give the points.

 

Pacers @ Jazz -8: Until the Pacers show us they can closeout a team, we are not backing them. The Jazz are playing really well right now, too. The Pacers are in the midst of a long road trip. We love the Jazz here. Take the Jazz and give the points.

 

Heat @ Lakers -12.5: The Heat were crushed last night in Denver. It doesn’t get any easier for them tonight as they face maybe the best team in the league. The Lakers are rested and we don;t care if Artest boozes on the bench. It won’t matter. It scares us some that the Lakers have a tendency to blow big spreads, but we think kobe will be focused to face DWade. There won’t be a let-up. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

As always, good luck with your picks.

NFL Week 13 Free Winning Picks: Straight Cash Homey!!!

RPJ $yndicate Picks - After going 5-4 last week, we are now 37-32 on the season. We still have a few weeks to show some improvement and all this really shows is if you take our our 5-0 week we are simply 500 on the season. We went on a late season surge with our NCAA picks and we plan on doing the same here.

Sunday December 6, 2009

Philadelphia (-5) at Atlanta - What is the over/under on Michael Vick references in this game. Probably enough to make us vomit in our mouths. This game is the culmination of horrible injuries for the Falcons. No Matt Ryan, if he plays Michael Turner will not be effective and starting guard Harvey Dahl went out last week. Yes, the Falcons won the game but they only rushed for 75 yards against the #32 rushing defense at the time. The Eagles are always capable of putting a beat down on somebody. We know the Eags are fighting their own injuries (Westbrook, their secondary and D Jax) but the Eagles have been here before. When they need somebody to step up, they step up. Grab Avant this week if you need a WR in fantasy football. So coming in to this game knowing Atlanta is banged up on offense, they really do not want to face the Eagles defense, which is a lot better than Atlanta’s. We also love the fact that the Falcons have the second worst defensive 3rd down conversion percentage. They let teams convert 3rd downs 47% of the time. That is horrific. We are betting the Eagles to win and cover big!

Philadelphia

Atlanta
  • Falcons are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win.
  • Falcons are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
  • Falcons are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
  • Falcons are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games as a home underdog of 3.5-10.0.
Head-to-Head
  • Eagles are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
  • Eagles are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Atlanta.
  • Favorite is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

Oakland at Pittsburgh (-14.5) - Big Ben back, Raiders still suck. Final score prediction 35-3. NEXT!!!

The Saints made me their Bitch!!!

The Saints made me their Bitch!!!

New England at Miami (+4) - This is a bizarre game on paper because when we look at the stats we look at and see one team ahead in the relevant stats by a wide margin we call that a clean sweep game, a no brainer! In this game, Miami is that team. Just to highlight a couple of them: Miami runs for more than 40 yards more per game, 6/10ths more per rush, converts offensive third downs 4 percentage points better and gives up less rushing yards, yards per rush and 3rd down conversions on defense. What does this all mean? It means Miami is the perfect antithesis of the Pats and should be able to control the clock and keep this game close. That is what we are banking on. We are betting the Dolphins to cover!

New England

Miami
  • Dolphins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. AFC East.
  • Dolphins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.
  • Dolphins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. AFC.
  • Dolphins are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.
  • Dolphins are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games in December.
Minnesota (-3) at Arizona - Favre is playing out of his 40 year old head right now and we are not going to stand in his way. Warner might not have a head left to play with. He is battling concussions. Leinart played OK last week and fell victim to insanity by Vincy Young once again but we do not expect him to be able to compete against the Vikings defense. Also, if Warner does play, we are not convinced he will last the game. He is Mr. Fragile at this stage of his career. Some of the numbers we like include the Vikes running the ball better and converting 48.7% of their 3rd downs compared to 35.6% for the Cards. This is a huge advantage. Next thing for the Cards, they give up 4.53 yards per rush. So besides Favre playing out of his head, we would not be surprised to see A-Pete top the 200 yard mark in this game and Favre go nuts on play action pass all day long. Long day in store for the Cards. We are betting the Vikings to win and cover!
Minnesota
  • Vikings are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
  • Vikings are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC.
  • Vikings are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
  • Vikings are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
  • Vikings are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.
  • Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on grass.
  • Vikings are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
  • Vikings are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
Arizona
  • Cardinals are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog.
  • Cardinals are 6-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
  • Cardinals are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog.
  • Cardinals are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
  • Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss.
  • Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
  • Cardinals are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.
  • Cardinals are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC.
  • Cardinals are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games on grass.
  • Cardinals are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall.
  • Cardinals are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games in Week 13.
Head-to-Head
  • Vikings are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

Baltimore at Green Bay (-3) - We did not expect this but Green Bay, like we explained for Miami, is another clean sweep team. They look better statistically in all the right places against the Ravens. We are not worried about Green Bay’s line because the Ravens only have 21 sacks on the season and have numerous injuries on the defensive side of the ball. This is a winnable game for the Pack and we expect Aaron Rodgers to remain hot. We are betting Green Bay to win and cover!!!

Underdog Strategy - The underdog strategy bombed last week to end what was one hell of a tear. On the season this strategy is now 89-84-2. Pretty interesting that all you have to do is bet every underdog and you come out with a winning record. Underdogs in bold:

NY Jets at Buffalo (+3.5) - Bills lose

Philadelphia at Atlanta (+5)

Tampa Bay (+5.5) at Carolina

St. Louis (+9.5) at Chicago

Detroit (+13) at Cincinnati

Tennessee (+6.5) at Indianapolis

Houston at Jacksonville - No action due to pick em

Denver at Kansas City (+5)

Oakland (+14.5) at Pittsburgh

New Orleans at Washington (+9.5)

New England at Miami (+4)

San Diego at Cleveland (+13.5)

Dallas at NY Giants (+2.5)

San Francisco at Seattle - No action due to pick em

Minnesota at Arizona (+3)

Baltimore (+3) at Green Bay

Knockout Pool - We are still rocking along here. Our knockout pool is down to 17 people. Hopefully you are still alive in yours. We caught some guff this week from some of you knockout pool players, saying our strategy is dumb and we need to chart out our picks. Well we stick our nose up at you. Our strategy is simple, Take the opening lines of the week and pick the home team with the highest line. So for you naysayers, we are still here winning and guess what? We get to play the Colts this week!

Week 1: New Orleans Saints

Week 2: Washington Redskins

Week 3: Baltimore Ravens

Week 4: Chicago Bears

Week 5: Philadelphia Eagles

Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 7: New England Patriots

Week 8: San Diego Chargers

Week 9: Seattle Seahawks

Week 10: Minnesota Vikings

Week 11: Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 12: Cincinnati Bengals

Week 13: Indianapolis Colts

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 3, 2009

Greetings folks. Another tough night last night as went managed to kiss our sister with a 5-5 mark. Not losing, but certainly not where we want to be. With the 5-5 night, our season ATS record stands at 74-62-2. There are only three games on tonight’s docket and we know we need to go 3-0 ATS. We like our chances. Here are the picks:

 

Celtics @ Spurs -1.5: Both teams are playing outstanding D right now. Manu is back for the Spurs. The Celtics are off a dominating win against a Bobcats team that went into that game as one of the hottest teams in the league. Ray Allen seemed to find his stroke again and their D was lights out. This should be a low scoring game. The Spurs love playing at home (7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games) and the Celtics have struggled to cover in their recent games overall (4-9 ATS in their last 13 games, but they have covered their last 3). That said, both teams are rested and healthy. We think the Celtics just bring more to the table right now. We love their D. Take the Celtics and the points.

 

Rockets @ Warriors +2.5: The walking wounded tour continues for the Warriors as they stay at home tonight to face a Rockets team that is fresh off a solid win against the Clippers last night. The Clippers battled all game, but poor shooting in the last few minutes really killed them. The Warriors are similar to the Clippers in that they have a tendency to play sloppy basketball and fall apart at the end. However, this Warriors team has responded very well to the injuries. They have taken an “us against the world” mentality and it shows. They are covering (7-3 ATS in their last 10 overall) and they play hard. Monta Ellis is a legit early MVP candidate. We like them tonight. Take the Warriors and the points.

Heat @ Nuggets -8.5: The Heat looked outstanding in their last game. Michael Beasley finally showed signs of the promise he has with 27 points and DWade was all over the court against a solid Trailblazers teams. Both teams are rested and healthy for tonight’s game, so it should be a lot of fun to watch. The Nuggets are still undefeated at home and own this match-up as of late (6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings). We think they will stay undefeated, but we think this is too many points to give tonight. Take the Heat and the points.

 

Looks like tonight is the night of the Dogs for us. As always, good luck with your picks.

Greetings folks. 3-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 66-54-2. We are making people straight cash money and we hope you are taking advantage of our picks. Our goal is to make you as much money as possible to bring down Vegas, your bookies an any websites you may frequent. The best part is our picks are totally free with absolutely no strings attached. Just read, enjoy and make your money!!

First things first:

 

Guess Who's Back...Back Again..Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back...Tell A Friend. Don't Forget To Mention The Winning Picks!!!!

Guess Who's Back....Back Again...Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back...Tel A Friend. Don't Forget To Mention The Winning Picks!!!!

Here is what we like tonight:
Wizards @ Raptors -6.5: The Raptors are hoping that a little home cookin’ will end their recent slump. They have not covered in their last 3 and they have lost 4 of their last 5 (not covering in any of the losses). Our system and calculations tell us to jump on the Raptors here, especially since they are home and healthy. However, despite the Wizards inconsistent play this year, they are a better defensive and rebounding team than the Raptors. They are rested, too. We like that combo on the road. We like Gilbert Arenas matched up against the Raptors guards and we think Antawn Jamison can contain Chris Bosh. The key for the raptors will be if Hedo Turkoglu gets hot. If he does, it will be a long night for the Raptors. However, we think Caron Butler can keep him in check (somewhat). We think the Raptors will win, but this is too many points. Take the Wizards and the points.
Is It Us, Or Does Chris Bosh Look Like The Predator?!?!?

Is It Us, Or Does Chris Bosh Look Like The Predator?!?!? The Resemblance Is Striking!!!

Celtics @ Bobcats +4: Man, the Bobcats are getting no love from Vegas!!! They are on fire right now and they are playing possibly the best team of any in the NBA. The Celtics have been winning, too. Both teams come into this game winning 4 straight (Celtics are 2-2 ATS in those games, while the Bobcats are 4-0 ATS). This is a very tough game to call. We love the Bobcats D and energy, but this is the Celtics. The Celtics can play D with the best of them and they can score on pretty much any team in the league. The key to this game will be free throws. With that, the Celtics have the advantage. We like the Celtics to make it 5 straight wins and 3 straight covers. Take the Celtics and give the points.

Good Thing Big Baby Is Not Playing Tonight....If He Was, We Would Have Taken the Bobcats Solely Because of This Photo. Please Tell Us That His Teammates Are Giving Him Constant Grief For This!!!

Suns @ Knicks +7.5: This line is pretty low considering how bad the Knicks are and how good the Suns have been all season. We think it is a product of the Suns travelling and coach D’Antoni knowing his old team and players. That said, we don’t think neither will matter much for this game. The Knicks are terrible. Just terrible. Their close games against the Celtics, Magic and Nuggets were flukes. Steve Nash is playing like his old MVP self and the Knicks’ Duhon/Hughes two-headed monster will have no answer. The Suns have covered 4 straight and they done it in blowout fashion. It will continue tonight. Take the Suns and give the points.
Yeap. Nuff Said.

Yeap. Nuff Said.

Warriors @ Nuggets -14: The Warriors are playing out of their minds right now. It is unreal how they have circled the wagons and played this well with so many injuries. They are by far the team with the most heart this year. Monta Ellis is playing like a man possessed, and he doesn’t show any signs of wearing down. The Warriors have been out-manned and outgunned in nearly every game this year, but they are finding ways to pull through with wins and covers. That said, last night’s win was a little deceptive. They were getting handled by the Pacers until the end of the third quarter. The Pacers have shown a history all year of giving up in games and losing focus. They don’t have the grit it takes to close a team out. The Nuggets do. Despite their recent collapse against a terrible Timberwolves team, the Nuggets know how to win games and close a team out. That doesn’t necessarily translate into covering the spread, but it says a lot when predicting games. 14 points is a TON to give, but we like it. The reason is that the win last night for the Warriors was exhausting. Having to travel that night to get to Denver to play a rested Nuggets team would be tough for any team. It is magnified even more when the travelling team is decimated by injuries. We think tonight’s game will start in a similar fashion to last night’s-the Warriors will be done in a hurry. Unlike last night, though, the Nuggets will not let them back in. The loss to the Timberwolves was a wake-up call. Look for very improved D from the Nuggets. Take the Nuggets and give the points.
Witness The Rebirth of Cool!!!! Just Not Tonight In Denver.

Witness The Rebirth of Cool!!!! Just Not Tonight In Denver.

Heat @ Trailblazers -7: The Heat have been fortunate this year in that they haven’t had to venture too far from South Beach to play. That all changes tonight as the head to the great Northwest to face a young and hungry Trailblazers team. The Blazers have been in a mini rut (lost their last two games), but they have a HUGE home field advantage. We don’t care that the road team in this series is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. We think the Blazers roll. Take the Blazers and give the points.

Nas & Young Jeezy...Guaranteed Two People You Won't See Court side in Portland Tonight

 

 

Hornets @ Lakers -14.5: This is a TON of points to give to a decent (although undermanned) Hornets team. However, this is the Lakers and they are crushing teams right now. That said, the Lakers have a tendency to play down to opponents at times. Typically they rip off a bunch of games where they crush teams and then settle on cruise control and maybe lose a game they should win. They beat the Hornets earlier in the year by 16 at home, and that was a team with Chris Paul running point. CP3 won;t be there tonight and there is a good chance neither will Peja Stojakovic. That doesn’t bode well for the Hornets. We do not like these points, but our numbers say take the Lakers. Take the Lakers and give the points.

Greetings folks. Fresh off of Turkey Day and our season ATS record is 59-52-2. We know that is not where we need to be, but we will keep working. Kobe and Lebron play tonight, so we pay our respects with this:

Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back!!!

Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back!!!

On with tonight’s picks:

Bobcats @ Wizards -3.5: The Bobcats are en fuego right now and are off 3 straight wins and covers. The Wizards are turning their play around and have won two straight after being mired in a terrible slump. The key to this came is consistency, and the Wizards just have not showed us that they are a consistent club. Plus, the Bobcats are playing really well as a team right now. They match-up well against the Wizards. We love Gerald Wallace’s offensive ability and his glass work. We like the Bobcats to make it 4 straight covers. Take the Bobcats and the points.

Bring Us An Early Christmas Present, Stephen!!!!

Bring Us An Early Christmas Present, Stephen!!!!

 

Dallas @ Cleveland -6.5: The Mavs have not been good against good teams over the past few years. They have been particularly bad against the Cavs (2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings). We are not convinced that the Cavs are a great team this year-as long as the have Lebron they will be good. We don’t know yet if they are an elite team. We’ll see. What we do know is that the Mavs have been better ATS this year and even more so in the recent games. That said, we are still riding the Cavs. The Mavs are on a pretty tough road trip. They are a soft team. We like the Cavs to avoid two straight losses and snag a cover. Take the Cavs and give the points.

Trailblazers @ Jazz -5.5: The home team has a huge advantage in this series (21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings).  The Jazz are more rested and have had the luxury of playing their last 4 opponents at home. We think that is HUGE for the game tonight. The Jazz looked great blowing out a decent Bulls team last time out. Although we love the energy and athleticism of the young Blazers, we think the Jazz will have too much for them tonight. Take the Jazz and give the points.

Magic @ Bucks +6.5: The Bucks have been home demons as of late, going 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. We love their energy and Brandon Jennings is showing that he could be a star in the league. However, they key to this game is who will not be playing. Andrew Bogut. Losing him in the paint against teams with solid big men has proven to be the Achilles Heel of this team. They get no bigger or better than the big man they will be facing tonight-Dwight Howard. He will be too much for the Bucks. Take the Magic and give the points.

Yeap, That My Bit*h!! The Bucks Are Next!!!!

Yeap, That's My Bit*h!! The Bucks Are Next!!!!

Lakers @ Warriors +9.5: The road team has been solid in the recent meetings, going 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings. The Lakers love spreads under 10 points and they are well rested. They will be ready for this game. We’ve admired the heart that the Warriors have shown as of late. However, the Lakers will have too much for them tonight. Take the Lakers and give the points.

As always, good luck with your picks.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 25, 2009!!!

Greetings folks! 3-2-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 54-45-2. Again, we know this is not up to our standards, but with another winning night, we are moving in the right direction. There are a ton of games tonight, so we know we have a ton of opportunities for more winners. We are busy and we love it!! Check out our NCAA football and NFL posts for tomorrow’s and Friday’s games, too. We are working plays all weekend long!!! Sit back, eat some turkey and take our picks all the way to the bank!! We are looking to help you make some extra scratch for Black Friday shopping deals!! That said, here is the first step:

Oh yeah…forgot about Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron:

Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back For More Winners!!!!

Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back For More Winners!!!!

 

Clippers @ Pacers -5.5: The Pacers looked pretty darn bad last night in Toronto and are in the midst of a bad slump. They look to avoid their 5th straight SU loss and ATS loss. The bad thing is that in their losses, they have been pretty much blown out each time. Only in one of the 4 losses (against the Knicks) have they even kept it close. They are a team that looks very confused right now, and they are getting a Clippersteam that is rested and will probably have their young gun, Eric Gordon, back from injury. Even without Gordon, we like the Clippersto cover. We think the Pacers will win the game to end their losing streak, however, we think this is too many points to give. Take the Clippers and the points.

 

Holy Sh*t!!! We Picked The Clippers to Cover!!!!

Holy Sh*t!!! We Picked The Clippers to Cover!!!!

Raptors @ Bobcats -3: The Raptors have been terrible on the road this year and cannot stop anyone anywhere. They are off giving the Pacers a beatdown last night at home. They are terrible as Dogs this year (0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as Dogs), but we think they finally breakout of the Dog cover slump. Take the Raptors and the points.

 

No Early Christmas For You, Stephen Jackson!!!!

No Early Christmas For You, Stephen Jackson!!!!

76ers @ Celtics -13: The Celtics have been terrible as of late. This team is WAAAY better than this and they know it. After nearly losing to the Knicks last time out, the Celtics need to get back on track. They are rested and at home tonight against a 76ers team that is struggling, too.  The 76ers lost a tough one last night in Washington and they may be without Elton Brand tonight. That is bad news for them. We think the Celtics finally right the ship tonight. We don;t care that the road team in this one is 18-8-1 ATS in their last 27 meetings. Take the Celtics and give the points.

Heat @ Magic -9.5: The Heat have been absolutely terrible in their recent games, losing 4 of their last 6 SU and 6 straight ATS. They get no relief tonight against a Magic team that is playing well as of late. The Magic are rested and do everything better than the Heat except field goal %. This is an easy cover. Take the Magic and give the points.

 

Ridiculous!! Dwight Howard Looks Like He Is Playing on Stilts!! Good Luck, Miami!!!

Ridiculous!! Dwight Howard Looks Like He Is Playing on Stilts!! Good Luck, Miami!!!

Bucks @ Hornets -2.5: The Bucks finally have Michael Redd back, but they are still without Andrew Bogut. The Hornets are still without Chris Paul. However, the Hornets have covered their last 4. We don’t think they make it a 5th. The Bucks are better defensively and on the glass. They have Redd back. The Hornets will have no answer for him. Take the Bucks and the points.

This Is What The Bucks Think Of Your Chances Tonight, New Orleans!!!!

Cavs @ Pistons +6: The Cavs have not been a good team ATS, but neither have the Pistons. The Pistons will be without Prince and Hamilton (again). They will not have enough fire power to keep up with a rested Cavs team. We love this line. Take the Cavs and give the points.

Nuggets @ T’Wolves +8.5: This line seems a little like a trap because it is so low. The T’Wolves have not won since beating the Nets weeks ago. The Nuggets are one of the best teams in the league. On paper this seems like the line should be double digits. It may be a trap, so beware, but our analysis says ride the Nuggets all day. So, that is what we are doing. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

 

Dat's Wus Up Minnesota!! You ARe Messin' Wit the Nuggets!!

Dats Wus Up, Minnesota!! Be Carful Of Who You Are Messin' Wit!!

Mavericks @ Rockets -4: We hate the Mavs and love the Rockets. However, the Mavs own this match-up as of late. They also have more healthy weapons. Dirk is clutch. We love the points. Take the Mavs and the points.

Warriors @ Spurs -13.5: The Warriors are one of the hottest teams ATS right now, covering in 6 straight and 7 of their last 8. Unreal. They beat the Mavs outright last night with 6 freakin’ players!! Tonight they get another tough opponent in the Spurs, who are rested and ready. We love the attitude the Warriors have adopted since the injury bug hit. They have circled the wagons and look to pound everyone they play. However, tonight will be too much. The Spurs play well together and know how to win at home. They cover. Take the Spurs and give the points.

Grizzlies @ Suns -10.5: The Grizzlies are a terrible road team, but they are building confidence each night out. They are young and can really get after it. The Suns are off a lopsided win at the hands of the Pistons. We like the Grizzlies in this one because we think they match-up well against the Suns, and because they are playing solid D as of late. Take the Grizzlies and the points.

Nets @ Trailblazers -13: Nets are pathetic. Just terrible. They were crushed last night. They will get crushed again tonight. Take the Blazers and give the points.

Knicks @ Kings -4: The Knicks showed some poise last night making it a 10 point game against the Lakers. However, we think that was more of the Lakers just wanting to get out of dodge. The Knicks held their own against the Celtics last week, too. However, we think they happened to catch the Celtics in a slump. They are not a good team. We love the Kings tonight. Tyreke Evans should be back. Take the Kings and give the points.

As always, good luck with your picks.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 23, 2009

Greetings folks. Our season ATS record stands at 48-42-1.  Despite our winning record, we feel terrible. Not as bad as these guys…

Is That The Little Person's Kobe & Lebron?!?!?!

Is That The Little Person Kobe & Lebron?!?!?!

…but still pretty bad. Not a bad record, but not even close to the vicinity we are aiming for (65%). We are in a slump, but we know what we are capable of and will keep applying our system. That said, this is what we recommend for tonight:

Kings @ Grizzlies -5.5:If this game was in Arco, our analysis would be different. We love the direction both teams are heading and this should be an exciting game. The Kings have been in some very tough defeats as of late, losing by two to the Mavs last Friday and by seven to the Rockets on Saturday night. They should be rested, but Tyreke Evans is doubtful. Without Evans, the Kings are a completely different team. They need him to produce and they need his energy with Kevin Martin out of the line-up for the foreseeable future. We like the Grizzlies in this game because they are at home and they have a ton of young talent that can score and run the court all game long. And, as well as the Kings have played, they have been terrible on the road. Take the Grizzlies and give the points.

Grizzlies Haters Beware!!!! They Aren't That Bad!!!

Grizzlies Haters Beware!!!! They Aren't That Bad!!!!

Bucks @ Spurs -9: Our pick for this game is based as much on what the Spurs don’t do as what the Bucks do. The Bucks have been surprising this season-they are winning without their two best players. The Spurs have been banged up too, but they seem to be lacking desire to play. They are not playing good D and seem to set out to do the bare minimum required to win a game. Granted, winning is the goal and if you get wins winning ugly, then so be it. However, they have not been a good cover team at all this. The Bucks have been. We like them here. Michael Redd is probable and with him in the line-up, they are even better. We don’t think the Bucks will win, but we love the points. Take the Bucks and the points.
Yeap. That Guy Got It Right.

Yeap. That Guy Got It Right.

Bulls @ Trailblazers -8.5: The Bulls are still on the long and winding road known as their annual circus road trip. These games get tougher and tougher, and now they are forced to deal with the young guns of the Trailblazers. The Trailblazers are just too long and athletic in the front court for the Bulls who are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. Take the Trailblazers and give the points
T’Wolves @ Clippers -7:The T’Wolves have not covered in their last 8 games! How crazy is that?!?! Nothing like a date with the Clippers to get you on the right track. Despite the T’Wolves being so bad, they are still better than the Clippers at the line, on the glass and off the bench. This is too many points for the Clippers. Take the T’Wolves and the points.
As always, good luck with your picks.
