NEW ORLEANS +14 ( 2 units )
I could easily lose this bet and I surely won't have any excuses! When the better team wins on a given night, then it's just a matter of the cover. However from a handicapping perspective there is only play you can make in this game ! NEW ORLEANS. The desire to play hard for 82 games following a championship season decreases dramatically. We saw this with the Lakers the previous decade and now It's happening with the Heat. Miami is 12-5 SU but only 7-10 ats and 2-6 against the number when the chalk is greater than 9.
I am not doubting James,Bosh and Wade's desire to win another title but when the goal is to put 16 wins together in the months of April , May and June then the 82 games during the regular season become somewhat meaningless. Five out of the last 6 opponents have scored 100 or more on the Heat and 3 of those teams were Milwaukee, Cleveland and Washington.

Had the Bobcats last night !!! This will probably be one of the worst beats of the year. They blew a 19 point lead with a little over 5 minutes to play. Down right ugly.
WASHINGTON +11 ( 3 units )
The Heat are 7-8 ats covering the spread and only 1-2 as a DD favorite. What attracts me the most to this play is the travel situation. This is road game that will take place between 11 home games. Smacked down in the middle by the schedule makers. Not a favorable travel scenario for the Heat.

WASHINGTON +13.5 ( 1 unit )
The Wizards are 1-12 SU but a modest 6-7 ATS !! So why am I 0-3 when betting this team ? I guess I haven't found the right spot. I'm not gonna call myself unlucky simply because the losses have been one sided. Hopefully I've found the right situation here. The Wizards are playing on 4 days rest in between games and this will the highest point spread ( +13.5 ) to date as a dog. Actually It's the first time Washington has been a DD dog this season. At the same time this will be the Knicks largest chalk of year. So away we go with Washington. FINAL SCORE NEW YORK 104 WASH 95

ARE THE MAGIC A LIVE DOG FLYING UNDER THE RADAR ????
I THINK SO !!! This will be the Spurs 5th road game in 8 nights. I'm not crazy about fading hot teams but this is one of those situations in the schedule than cannot be overlooked. This might also be typical Popovich move in which he makes one of those game time decisions to rest either Parker or Duncan. He'll often do this with veterans when the games are bunched together. I'm not banking on this , but you never know. The kicker for me here is the look ahead game to the Heat tomorrow.

OKLAHOMA CITY -4 ( 2 units )
The Thunder are a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS coming off a loss this season. The angle has produced winning margins of 14,20 and 15 in which Oklahoma City was a loser in their previous game. The only glitch in the trend is that all 3 teams have losing records unlike the 76'ers who are 7-5 SU. Regardless I think it's worth a wager.
WASHINGTON -4 ( 2 units )
0-10 to start the season. I mean com'on with SA,POR,NY and MIA on deck this is the only spot in the schedule in which I can give the Wizards a Win. My only concern here is the small chalk.
LAKERS -1 ( 1 unit )
I also like the Pau Gasol prop ""OVER"" in this game. I haven't seen a number yet. It should be in the high teens.

GS/DEN OVER 201 ( 2 units )
The total was 203 when these teams met back on 11/10 that game did go Over the total but needed double OT as both teams had on off night from the field. Only excuse that I can think of was they played the night before. Both teams like to play uptempo so I'm going over in this one. Denver is near the top of the league in field goal attempts and both teams are near the bottom of the league each giving up close to a 100 ppg.
SACRAMENTO +10 ( 2 units )
This is a Home and Home as both these teams play in Sacramento tomorrow. I'm hoping the Kings can build of their big win against the Lakers. Jazz are 5-1 ats as a favorite but this is the largest number ( -10 ) to date. The Jazz might ease of the petal here knowing they are facing the same team tomorrow.
CHARLOTTE +3.5 ( 1 unit )
Not a good spot for the Hawks as this game is sandwiched in between 7 home games. Probably looking ahead to a 5 game home stand .

CALGARY -1.5 ( 5 units )
Part of my success in 2012 has been taking advantage of what I think has been the year of the soft line. There were many situations throughout the CFL season in which the books posted odds that were beatable by using simple handicapping techniques. This time around they got the number right. It's been floating between 1.5-2. The better team is favorite and Calgary will win the 100th Grey Cup. What I mean by getting the number right is that the books disregard home field advantage. I agree and this is why Calgary is a small favorite. The City of Toronto won the bid to host the 2012 Grey Cup not the Argos. The Lions share of the revenue goes to the city not the Argonauts. Therefore there isn't going to be any favoritism with firecrackers salutes from the scoreboard when the Argos score points. Both teams will have scoreboard perks. By the way , Calgary will have it's touchdown horse on the sidelines and I'm estimating about 15,000 Stampeder fans at the Rogers Center.
Breaking down the game !!! I give every edge to Calgary except for the QB position and a small edge to Toronto on special teams. They will counter this by kicking away from Chad Owens. As far as KG is concerned ! Regardless of what happens he knows that he won't be the starter next year so his CFL legacy is at stake and he will br...

INDIANA/NEW YORK OVER 187 ( 4 units )
This is a 12 00 pm EST start. I like this Over and I'm going large here. The Under is 8-2 in the Pacers first 10 games of the season and this is top under percentage in the league. The Unders will regress and some of the Pacer games will eventually go Over once the posted totals bottom out like today.
After the first 9 games of the season the Pacers found themselves last in the league in PPG. Prior to the Maverick game on Friday Vogel made some changes with different type of offensive sets. The Pacers scored 103 points against the Mavs and all starters finished with double digits. They went to the line 31 times which is 11 more than their season average. Hibbert got the most shot attempts and that's the way this team should run it's offense. The Knicks have scored 100 or more in 5 out 7 games. Gradually the books will adjust the totals if Frank Vogel sticks with this offense. Part of good handicapping is trying to outsmart the oddsmakers and i think i got a good beat on this one.

No problem laying the 6 here ! Not a big number if you consider the bulls have no quality wins . They've beaten PHO,MIN,ORL,CLE and SAC who have a combined record of 16-28 and are all playing under .500 with the exception of Minnesota. On the other hand the Clip have had some big wins which include Mia, SA , Lakers and Memphis and as a team the Clip are a +7.9 in the point differential department which is a stat that is often over looked any time your laying points. This game is isolated so I'm not worried about a look ahead or let down game. They've had 2 days rest and are off tomorrow.
