Monday's Picks 12/20/2010

A couple of picks today. Elon is going against the Dukies where they are a huge underdog. They have played well in the first half against other ACC opponents and we think it will be within 19 at the break. The Bears are going against Minnesota and the game will be played at UM's stadium. Look for the Vikings to struggle in the outdoor setting because they are a bunch of little girls (aside from AP who is a monster). They are also starting 3rd string QB Joe Webb (who?) so the Bears defense will just load the box and have a field day when Webb is forced into a passing down. This game is over before it starts. Bears win big.

Elon +19 First Half (3x)

Chicago Bears -7 (5x)

Portland Trailblazers -3 (4x)

Los Angeles Clippers -4.5 (3x)

Sunday's Picks 12/12/2010

Featured Plays: Cleveland Browns +1 (5x)

Browns + Bills Under 38.5 (5x)

New England Patriots -3 Even (4x)

Today we have 3 featured plays that we really like. The Browns are a 1 point underdog against the 2-10 Bills. The Browns have won back to back games on their defense creating turnovers, and we look for the same to happen today. Neither team is an offensive juggernaut, and their is going to be a lot of running today. Hillis will get a ton of carries, and on top of all of that it is pouring/snowing in Buffalo which will slow down the offenses even more. Put the house on these games.

Other Plays:

Kansas City Chiefs +9.5 (4x)

The Chiefs beat the Chargers earlier this year 21-14. This time they will be without their starting QB, Matt Cassel. This will force them to rely more on their ground game which is averaging 175.2 yards per game. If they can slow the game down and put some points on the board early, we think they should cover easily.

Patriots + Bears Under 37 (4x)

The Pats face one of the best defenses in the NFL. The weather will also be a huge factor in this game. Snow and 30 mph winds will cause both teams to run the ball more.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +1 (3x)

San Francisco 49ers -5 (3x)

New York Jets -5 (3x)

St. Louis Rams +9 (2x)

Dallas Cowboys +3.5 (2x)

New Orleans Hornets PK (3x)

Virginia Tech -7.5 (3x)

Villanova -8 (3x)
