Got a case of the Mondays?  Behold the diversity of sporting events this evening: Monday Night Football, NBA basketball, NHL hockey...and even a Duke basketball tournament where Coach K's kids get to knock the Jesus out of a school called Presbyterian.

Even without the full mullet, Barry Melrose simply rocks!  And although his Lightning team are only 5-4-4, the goaltending tandem of Mike Smith and Olaf Kolzig have only allowed two goals or less in eight of thirteen games.  Washington goalie Brent Johnson has been stable in net as well, with a 2.12 GAA in six games.  The Capitals may get the victory, but I like...

Lightning @ Capitals Under 5.5 (-115)

It's fantastic to see Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat playing competitive basketball again.  Tonight the Nets visit Miami -- without Devin Harris.  It's a huge loss, as Harris is averaging 18.8 points per game and 4.8 assists.  The season is early, but thus far the Miami Heat have dominated opponents at home, beating the Sacramento Kings by 26 points and the Philadelphia 76ers by 23.

Miami Heat -8.5 (-110)

The national sports pundits believe that "Samurai" Mike Singletary, new coach of the 49ers and former, fiery Chicago Bear will play nice tonight.  Yeah, right.  I can't wait for the post game news conference, typically aired on ESPN News only minutes after the game.  As far as the football game, given the Cardinals penchant for high-scoring home beat downs, I can easily foresee a Cardinals cover and the over.  However, I played a paranoid wuss teaser on this one -- at 5 units instead of 3.

Arizona -4
Over 41.5

May the Goddess of Gambling reward you all heavily!
