They are up against a powerhouse in Marshall, who as far as I can tell, doesn’t look to motivated to send the season on a high note, after blowing their chance at a perfect season to Western Kentucky in OT. They nearly lost the Conference USA Championship to Louisiana Tech, but got it done 26-23 against a team they should have dominated. I think NIU has all the momentum and the motivation to get this done. This is one of those bowl games I think could end up being a big upset win for the underdog. Lets Get It Rob

I am taking the Memphis Tigers over BYU. For me this one comes down to who has the healthier team, and its clearly Memphis. BYU has been just decimated with injuries this year, losing their starting QB Taysom Hill back in October and their starting running back Jamaal Williams in November. They managed to recover and end the season on a 4 game win streak as replacement QB Christian Stewart did a solid backup job to close out the season. Looking at Memphis, they come into this game on a 6 game win streak. QB Paxton Lynch has been a consistent dual-threat, throwing for 18 TDs and adding another 10 rushing. To complement the offense, the D has been very solid down the stretch, they area allowing only 17.1 points per game and they only allowed 20 points to USF and Tulsa over their final 6 games of the season, the rest were stuck at 13 or less. This game should feature some strong defense, BYU will match up well against the Memphis run, so I expect a few big plays to be the deciding factor in this one. Memphis just has more options on offense and I think it will make the difference and lead them to a 27-16 type win in this one. Play Memphis and lean on the under.

There has been all kinds of talk about Payton Manning not being healthy or what he was at the beginning of the year. I dont buy it. I think he was under the weather for a week, and should be just find now. I will also take Manning over Dalton any day of the week. Lay the short line on the Broncos to get the win on the road and maintain control of their playoff destiny. Lets Get It Rob Email: Sun, Dec 21, 2014 at 8:18 AM 12/21/2014 1:00 PM NFL Football 111 Detroit Lions* -6 -102 vs Chicago Bears for 1st Half Risking 2.00 To Win 1.96 (Loss) This is a system we have been riding all year long. Going against the Bears in the 1st half in games where they are playing against a solid passing game. I like the Lions to have a solid lead in this one by half as they should have little trouble shredding the Bears secondary. 12/21/2014 4:25 PM Reduced Football 128 Dallas Cowboys* -3 -115 vs Indianapolis Colts Risking 2.00 To Win 1.74 (WINNER) This game matters for the Cowboys, but it doesn’t really matter for the Colts. Yes they have an outside shot at getting home field advantage, but they need a lot of help from New England, which isn’t likely. The Cowboys on the other hand need to keep winning to hold onto their playoff spot. Ill lay the 3 points and take the boys. 12/21/2014 1:00 PM Reduced Football 107 Minnesota Vikings* +175 vs Miami Dolphins Risking 1.00 To Win 1.75 (Loss) Making a small underdog play on the Vikings, They are a very good team on the road as we saw last week when they nearly beat Detroit. If they can avoid the costly turnovers I give them a great shot at winning this game. They match up well on defence and should be able to put up some points. There is also a lot of sharp action coming in on the Vikings, as we have seen the Line drop all the way from about 6 down to 3.5. Lets Get It Rob 12/20/2014 3:30 PM Reduced Football 205 Utah* -2½ -110 vs Colorado State Risking 3.00 To Win 2.73 (WINNER) This one comes down to who has had the better strength of schedule and it hands down goes to Utah. I also love going against teams who lost their head coach, I really dont see Colorado state being as prepared or ready to face the Utah defense in this one. Lay the 2.5 on the Utes.

Tonight they are facing the Senators who have been average this year. They have a losing record at home while the Ducks are 12-4-2 on the road this year. 12/19/2014 7:00 PM Reduced Basketball 823 Northern Illinois* +235 vs Dartmouth Risking 1.00 To Win 2.35 (Loss) Taking an underdog play with NIU tonight. They play well on the road and I think they have a great shot of getting a W tonight. Lets Get It Rob Email: Thu, Dec 18, 2014 at 1:24 PM 12/18/2014 8:25 PM Reduced Football 102 Jacksonville Jaguars* -3½ -108 vs Tennessee Titans Risking 2.00 To Win 1.85 (WINNER) The worst team in the NFL is officially no longer the Oakland Raiders, it is now the Tennessee Titans. This is one of those situations where there is absolutely no reason for the Titans to show up in this game. They are effectively playing for draft picks for next year as their season is done, and the best thing the franchise can do is lose the rest of the games this year. Jacksonville has shown that they have pride and want to close out this year on a strong note, they pulled out all of the stops last week vs Baltimore to get a cover, and this is basically their superbowl as it is a prime time game where they have a legitimate shot of winning. I would have put some money on the alternate spread at -7 in this game too, but I really don’t trust Jacksonville to avoid turnovers and Tennessee does have a decent defense that could allow them to keep this under a double digit win.

They are a much better home team. 12/17/2014 7:35 PM Reduced Basketball 706 Miami Heat* -4 -105 vs Utah Jazz Risking 1.00 To Win 0.95 (Loss) Both of these teams played last night, so again ill take the short number on the home team with the better record. Lets Get It Rob Email: Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 1:52 PM 12/16/2014 9:05 PM Reduced Hockey 70 Arizona Coyotes* -149 vs Edmonton Oilers Risking 1.00 To Win 0.67 (WINNER) 12/16/2014 9:05 PM Reduced Hockey 70 Arizona Coyotes* -1½ +189 vs Edmonton Oilers Risking 0.50 To Win 0.95 (Loss) Edmonton is in a free fall. They just fired their coach and now they are going on the road. Yes they are up against an Arizona team that has also been losing badly as of late, but Edmonton just isn’t putting out the effort to win. There are some serious problems in the locker room and I think we will be fading them for a while to come. Rumor has it that many of the players just hate living in Edmonton, and I cant blame them with the sub zero winters and serious lack of sunlight in that part of Canada. Take Arizona as I like fading teams in the midst of major turmoil. 12/16/2014 8:05 PM Reduced Basketball 510 Memphis Grizzlies* -2½ -109 vs Golden State Warriors Risking 1.50 To Win 1.38 (WINNER) Golden state has been on a serious run, but now they have to go to Memphis where the Griz are 11-1. Memphis is also on 3 days rest, so they have had lots of time to prepare. Take the short number on the home team. Lets Get It Rob Email: Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 10:19 AM 12/15/2014 7:05 PM Reduced Hockey 1 New Jersey Devils/New York Islanders* Over 5½ +120 Risking 1.00 To Win 1.20 (Loss) I have been following the Devils on the road for a while now and we have enough data that it now represents a trend. They seem to be one of those teams that plays better away from home. They have higher scoring games on the road with totals averaging almost a full goal more per game. New York is averaging 6.14 in totals at home this season and they have been scoring 3.57 goals per game. We are getting good odds at +120 on the over 5.5 here. 12/15/2014 7:05 PM Reduced Hockey 3 Tampa Bay Lightning/Pittsburgh Penguins* Over 5½ +108 Risking 1.00 To Win 1.08 (WINNER) These are two of the highest scoring teams in the NHL. Yes Pittsburgh is without Crosby, but they still have tons of talent to make up for it. Pittsburgh is averaging 5.6 goals per game at home and Tampa is averaging 5.5 on the road. 7 of the last 8 times these two have played the total has gone over 5.5 with 6 of those games reaching 7 or more goals. Play the over. 12/15/2014 7:35 PM Reduced Basketball 710 Atlanta Hawks* -2½ -102 vs Chicago Bulls Risking 1.00 To Win 0.98 (WINNER) Atlanta is a great home team, Chicago played yesterday in Miami, they got a big win, I like the short number on the home team with the rest. Lets Get It Rob Email: Sun, Dec 14, 2014 at 7:10 AM 12/14/2014 4:25 PM Reduced Football 324 Detroit Lions* -8½ -103 vs Minnesota Vikings Risking 2.00 To Win 1.94 (Loss) Detroit is finally healthy and I expect Megatron to shred this Vikings secondary. They haven’t shown me they can win against good teams on the road, and Detroit needs to keep winning to make the playoffs. 12/14/2014 1:00 PM Reduced Football 316 New England Patriots* -9½ -105 vs Miami Dolphins Risking 1.00 To Win 0.95 (WINNER) This is a revenge game as New England lost to Miami at the beginning of the season. They also lost 2 games ago in Green Bay, and one of my favorite bets is Brady in December. We lost a bit of value as this line already climbed up from 7.5 to 9.5, but that’s less than 3% of games so this is still a good number under 10. I don’t think Miami will travel well and I think the Pats will come in focused for a big game at home. – Note this would be a 2 unit play, but I am using New England in the Teaser below with Seattle. If you don’t make the teaser play then this is a 2 unit play.
