MILWAUKEE -3 ( 2 units )
A short price here. This is a bad Charlotte team going up against a very good defensive team in the Bucks.
Milwaukee will start the season with a healthy line up. I love the starting 5 along with addition of Jackson. Excellent backcourt with a good front line. Jennings looked good in Milwaukee's first 2 pre season games.This is an underlay at -3. The Bucks win big.
NEW ORLEANS +6.5 ( 1 unit )
A smaller play on New Orleans for me today as well. I think the departure of CP3 might of unintentionally inflated the Suns point spread value as a favorite on opening night for both teams.
good luck

How should we approach this unfamiliar scenario ! When teams play their 3rd game in 3 consecutive nights ??
There will be 42 betting opportunities this season starting with the Lakers when teams will be playing BACK TO BACK TO BACK.
The 50 game shortened season of 1999 is the only time when the NBA deferred to this sort of schedule. I don't have any point spread data from that season to see if any kind of betting pattern developed on a specific teams 3rd game in 3 nights.
A practical betting strategy would probably be to fade the team playing B2B2B or even lean towards the Under when two teams are involved in this scenario. I'd be very cautious blindly betting this because the odds makers will adjust accordingly. There will also be a few 9 games in 12 night situations and this has never happened in the NBA. Not even in 1999. Something to pay attention to.
Here's my take on this !!!!
I would lean towards fading some of the older line ups like the Celtics and the Spurs. I'd also be looking to fade a a team that's playing a B2B2B on the ROAD in comparison to playing at Home. Perhaps betting against a DD favorite covering the first two games and also being installed as a DD chalk for game 3.
I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that the play will be sloppy due to fatigue. Coaches will be going to the bench a lot more on a B2B2B and you have to able to identify which teams have stronger back ups.

YTD 36-24 ( +6.75 units )
WINNIPEG +7 ( 3 units )
This game would of been a virtual Pick Em or BC a small favorite on neutral site, with that being said I'm actually glad the game is being played in BC which makes me more than happy to take the 7 points here. The BlueBombers are the only team in the East with a winning SU road record so playing away from home with all the marbles on the line should not be a problem. They also own the Best ATS record this year and their ability to dominate games defensively is about as impressive as I've ever seen in the last 30 years watching CFL games. They dominated the CFL's defensive category rankings finishing first in almost every one. They led the league in Fewest Yards,sacks, passing yards allowed and interceptions. The Bombers also forced a league high 54 turnovers. Why do i think this is important ? If you consider that Hamilton scored 40 plus points in the Eastern Division semi final and then went into Winnipeg the following week off such a high and were held to 3 points in 4 quarters. Well this is quite remarkable and it shows me that the defense will dominate this game.
GOOD LUCK

CALGARY +2.5 ( 3 units )
The Stamps have been the best road team in the CFL this season going 6-3 SU. I'll gladly the 2.5 points here . Drew Tate is 3-0 as a starter and has been impressive in all 3 games. Huge edge on the sidelines as well for Calgary as Hufnagel takes on rookie head coach Kavis Reed.
You might wanna tease this one up with Montreal. CAL +8.5 and MON Pick looks like a wining ticket to me.
Good luck and GO STAMPS

TORONTO +2.5 ( 5 units ) best bet
It's been a while since i made a large wager in the CFL but i think the good old sometimes reliable """NOTHING TO PLAY FOR""" angle is the way to go here. Hamilton has known it's faith since week 16. The Tabbies will finish third in the east and travel to either Montreal or Winnipeg for the Eastern Conference Semi Final. Marcel Bellefeuille's squad looked disinterested in last weeks game against the Roughriders so there is nothing here to make me think that this weeks outcome will be any different. Argos looking to finish the season on a positive note.
WINNIPEG +6.5 ( 1 unit )
SASK/EDM OVER 46.5 ( 1 unit )
A FEW THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW----------Winnipeg controls it's own destiny in the East and BC controls it's destiny in the West.
If the Bluebombers upset the Stamps then Montreal will have nothing to play for. The MON/BC game will most likely come off the board once the WIN/CAL game starts and re appear with an adjusted line depending on the earlier outcome.

UAB +16 ( 2 units )
This line opened as a two touchdown chalk early in the week and has been bet up all the way to 16. I wouldn't be surprised if it climbs to 17 by game time. The Blazers are 0-6 SU but a modest 4-2 ATS covering 4 straight games. On a positive note the odds makers have been generous giving them plenty of points. They actually lead 3-0 at the Half vs Miss St before crumbling in the second half but still hanging on for the cover losing 21-3. I'm not gonna give UAB too many props because simply are a bad team on both sides of the ball.
The question is----Should Central Florida be a 16 pt favorite ??
UCF is 0-3 SU and ATS away from home including a 17-10 loss at Florida International as a -6.5 point favorite. Not sure why this line is 16. FIU isn't 10 points better than UAB on neutral ground.
BOTTOM LINE----------WAY TOO MANY POINTS !!!

OAKLAND -4 ( 2 units )
It's confirmed, Carson Palmer will get the start. I wouldn't of even considered playing the Raiders here with Boller at the controls but with Palmer who's got an above average QB IQ will probably adjust sooner than most people think. Having McFadden in the backfield can only help him.
ATLANTA +4 ( 2 units )
Who would of thought ?? Seven weeks into the season and the Falcons are getting more than a field goal at Detroit.

Does anyone agree with me on this play. ARE THE JAGS A LIVE DOG ?????? I think so. Home Dogs on Monday night !!! Not a bad way to go.

My biggest bet of 2011. THE NEW-YORK GIANTS. The irony is that I probably would of passed if the Giants had won last week. The urgency angle is in play here. Just the fact that this line probably would of been -9.5 in Week 1 is enough for me.

I'm not in action tonight but I just wanted to share my thoughts on Game 3. This line has been bet up all the way to a somewhat stunning -5. Anyone's who's been remotely following this league will probably be on the Lynx tonight.
I wouldn't be able to talk anyone off betting Minnesota at this price. I think the value is just to difficult to pass up.
So why ain't i betting the Lynx ?? Cause i think the Dream will win game 3. There's no way that I'm willing to lay -5 and the ML is just to steep . Any Dream backers might wanna consider betting the Dream in the First Half. Atlanta has outscored Minnesota 97-86 in the First Half of both games ON THE ROAD AND NOW THEY GET THEM AT HOME.
Anyone with Lynx series or championship future wagers might want to hedge a little here. You might be able to cash your series ticket and side ticket. Why i recommend this is because if Atlanta wins Game 3 there's no chance that we'll see a ( MIN +5 ) again. It's gonna be more like 2 or 2.5 in GAME 4.
LEAN ON THE OVER
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY

I'm going over in the 2nd half I like the pace. They got 75 points with hardly any charity points. It makes this full game total 157 instead of 164. A pretty good bargain if you ask me.

Another one of the these MAC games hiding under the Radar. Or at least in my opinion it is. I LOVE THIS GAME. What a refreshing spot for the CMU who's back on home turf after losing three straight on the road versus Kentucky, W Michigan and Michigan ST. NO WAY SHOULD NORTHER ILLINOIS BE LAYING CLOSE TO DDs in this game. This line should be closer to a field goal.
LOUISIANA TECH -3.5 ( 4 units )
The Bulldogs are my second largest wager this weekend. I was impressed watching LT go toe to toe with Mississippi st last Saturday. Historically Hawaii has been a bad road team over the years and there are some valid angles that support this play.
