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,
Runny & Flash
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 8, 2009
Greetings folks. We had probably our worse night of the season last night going 1-3. It brings our season ATS record to 82-70-3. You don;t have to tell us-we know that is terrible. In efforts to get back on the winning side, we are conjuring up some of our old friends to help us out:
Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back After An Extended Vacation...We Are Sorry Basketball Handciapping Gods. We Won't Let It Happen Again.
And on with the picks:
Timberwolves @ Raptors -7.5: The T’Wolves are finally healthy and getting big contributions from their studs. Kevin Love has showed the promise of his first round pick status, and they are hot (on 4 straight covers). They travel north to face a Raptors team that is absolutely terrible on D, but has covered and won their last two times out. The Raptors have yet to win 3 straight games this year. They may break that streak tonight, but they won’t cover. Take the T’Wolves and the points.
Nuggets @ Bobcats +3.5: Talk about a tale of two teams. These teams could not be more opposite right now. The Bobcats are just terrible right now while the Nuggets continue to pound teams. The Bobcats are off 3 straight no covers while the Nuggets have covered 4 straight. The line is pretty low and it leads us to believe that it is a trap. However, we are going to stick to our numbers. Take the Nuggets and give the points.
Bucks @ Celtics -12.5: This is another game of total opposites. The Celtics are one of the hottest teams in the league right now while the Bucks are one of the coldest. That said, the Bucks have owned this match-up as of late (7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings) and they are a better (surprisingly) rebounding team. The Celtics have not been good giving double digit points. That said, we are rollin’ with them. They are rested and focused. Take the Celtics and give the points.
Kings @ Hornets -8.5: This is the most intriguing line of the night. These teams are almost identical in nearly all facets of the game, but the Hornets are laying a high number. The Kings are 8-0 ATS in the last 8 head-to-head meetings. Also, over 65% of the money is on the Kings and this line has gone up! It screams trap! We are not falling for it. We love it that CP3 is back for the Hornets. Take the Hornets and give the points.
Cavs @ Grizzlies +8: The Cavs are just steam rolling teams right now. They have found their groove and it is showing in the wins and covers column. We love how they match-up with Memphis tonight. They are rested. Take the Cavs and give the points.
Shaq Fu Panda Is Undefeated!!!!!
Nets @ Bulls -6.5: Both teams are terrible. The Nets finally got their first win of the season last week at home against the Bobcats. They look for their first road win tonight in the Windy City. They won’t get it. This game should be a beatdown. The Bulls will roll. Take the Bulls and give the points.
Suns @ Mavericks -4.5: We despise both teams and think they are both extremely soft. When in doubt between two soft teams, take the points. Take the Suns and the points.
Magic @ Clippers +7: The Clippers are not good, but they are at their best at home. That said, it won’t be enough. The Magic just stack-up too well against them. Take the Magic and give the points.
As always, good luck.

FREE WINNING NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 7, 2009
Greetings folks. Sorry for the delayed and quick post. We had another winning week last week and our season ATS record stands at 81-67-3. Respectable and certainly as good as any so called “professionals,” but we know we are better than that and we know we will keep staying in the black. That said, here is what we like tonight:
Nuggets @ Sixers +7: The Answer returns to the place where it all began as AI suits up his familiar Philly #3 for tonight’s game against his former team. This game will be fun to watch simply because of the crowd response. The crowd should be insane tonight! Plus, AI is still capable of lighting up a team for 30 points, although he is not as good as he used to be. The Nuggets dominate this match-up on paper and the road team in this series is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Philly has lost 9 straight, but we don’t care. Our numbers say take Philly and the points. Take Philly and the points.
Trailblazers @ Knicks +3.5: The Blazers limp (literally) into the Garden to face a Knicks team that is playing their best basketball of the season. The Blazers have lost Oden yet again for the season due to a knee problem. No doubt his presence will be missed. Also, the Blazers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 trips to the Garden and they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. That said, the Blazers dominate this match-up and we like how they stack-up against the Knicks. Take the Blazers and give the points.
Warriors @ Thunder -7.5: This is a ton of points to give, but we know why-the Thunder are good and well on their way to being a legit playoff team. The Warriors are still banged up, but they are getting more and more healthy each day. We love the energy that they bring to the table. We think the Thunder will win, but it will be closer than 7 points. Kevin Durant will have a huge game. So will Monta Ellis. Take the Warriors and the points.
Spurs @ Jazz -1.5: The final game tonight pits the Spurs against and fast Jazz team. We love the Jazz in this one primarily because of their athleticism, but also because of the recent play of Carlos Boozer. He has been great on both sides of the ball and he is good enough to keep Tim Duncan in check. We love Deron Williams against Tony Parker, too. Also, consider that the favorite in this series is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Take the Jazz and give the points.
As always, good luck with your picks.

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 & Lil Lebron Are Back...Tel A Friend. Don't Forget To Mention The Winning Picks!!!!
Is It Us, Or Does Chris Bosh Look Like The Predator?!?!? The Resemblance Is Striking!!!
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!!!
Yeap. Nuff Said.
Witness The Rebirth of Cool!!!! Just Not Tonight In Denver.
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.
Brilliant!!! We Need These To Rain From The Rafters in LA Tonight!!!
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!!!!
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!!!!
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!!!!
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!!!
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.
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.

Greetings folks! 3-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 51-43-1. We are back to moving in the right direction, and we love it! Like all gamblers, we are superstitious, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. So, we are going to ride our little people friends that worked for us last night and lead off this post with the little Kobe and Lebron:

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 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!!!!
Yeap. That Guy Got It Right.
FREE NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 20, 2009
Greetings folks! We hope to build some momentum off our 2-1 night last night. Typically on nights with only 3 games, we expect to be 3-0. However, we’ll take the wins as we can. As it stands, our season record ATS is 45-35-1. Due to some time constraints, we are leaving out a lot of the detail we typically provide. Know that everything below fits our models and is what we personally are backing. That said, here is what we are rollin’ with:
Cavs @ Pacers +4: Take the Cavs and give the points-LeBron will play and be fine.
Grizzlies @ 76ers -5: Take the Grizzlies and the points.
Heat @ Raptors -3: Take the Heat and the points.
Rockets @ Hawks -7: Take the Hawks and give the points.
Magic @ Celtics -6: Take the Celtics and give the points.
Wizards @ Thunder -4: Take the Wizards and the points.
Kings @ Mavericks -11: Take the Kings and the points.
Bobcats @ Bucks -4: Take the Bobcats and the points.
Trailblazers @ Warriors: +8: Take the Blazers and give the points.
Nuggets @ Clippers +9: Take the Nuggets and give the points.
Sorry for the brief post. As always, good luck with your picks.
