6 TEAM #8 VEGAS -200(W)/PITT -260 vs NJ

6 TEAM #9 FLORIDA -210 vs Columbus
****

OPPOSITE PICKS: 191-176-1 ATS

NHL: FLORIDA -225 vs Columbus
Same teams met yesterday with Florida winning 4-2. NO reason to think things will be any different tonight. Jackets are now 2-13 their last 15 games inc: 6 straight loses. Florida is 15-7 at home, while Columbus has just 7 road wins all year…EVERYTHING points towards Florida.
OPPOSITE PICK: COLUMBUS +205

BUFFALO +1.5 goals vs. Boston
Hop on the Sabres bandwagon…yes there is plenty of room. But that’s only because you’re not paying attention. Buffalo Stinks you say. You are right. Buffalo BLOWs you say. You are right. Burn your money instead of betting Buffalo you say. You are WRONG. Buffalo is beating the snot out of the BIV IF you know what you doing as we do. Buffalo—the worst team in the NHL—is a remarkable, money making, busy signal, computer freezing 12-1 their last 13 games with either winning outright or losing by 1 goal. Yes, the Buffalo Sabres. Two of those games came against this same Bruins team. I LOVE Buffalo.
OPPOSITE PICK: BOSTON -1.5 goals

PITTSBURGH -1.5 goals vs. NJ
We’ll lay the 1.5 goals in this one. Why? Because if the Sabres are the worst team in the NHL, the NJ Devils are. And they ARE playing like it. They’ve lost 10 of their last 11 games including the last 7 by 2 goals or more. Pitt meanwhile has to be smarting after losing Sunday to Buffalo. They are not in a position to take anybody lightly especially since this is the first of 3 straight vs. NJ. 13 of the Penguins last 15 wins have come by 2 goals or more.
OPPOSITE PICK: NJ +1.5 goals

NBA: ORLANDO +12.5 @ Atlanta
Despite the Hawks 4th best Eastern Conference record you were still getting decent #’s on them from the BIV. Atlanta is a monster 12.5pt fav. tonight though. Yikes. Magic are a respectable 8-6 ATS it’s last 14 games. You can not lay d/d with Atl.
OPPOSITE PICK: ATLANTA -12.5

MLB: MIAMI -125 vs. Baltimore
One of our favorite whipping boys is on the mound here as Matt Harvey gets the start for the Orioles. This will be his 4th start of the season. O’s are 1-2 in his 3 previous starts. And although he’s pitched better this year than last, I’s only a matter of time before he implodes and I’m going to be right there. He’s done. There are no needles in the world this side of Alex Rodriquez that can put life in that arm. LOVE Miami at home.
OPPOSITE PICK: BALTIMORE +105

MONDAY: 2-4
BOSTON -6 vs. Chicago
OPPOSITE PICK: CHICAGO +6 = WIN

DENVER -6.5 vs Memphis
OPPOSITE PICK: MEMPHIS +6.5 = WIN

MIAMI -10 vs. Houston
OPPOSITE PICK: HOUSTON = LOSE

WASHINGTON -10.5 vs. OKC
OPPOSITE PICK: OKC +10.5 = LOSE

NHL: FLORIDA -225 vs Columbus
OPPOSITE PICK: COLUMBUS +205 = LOSE

LAS VEGAS -200 vs. San Jose
OPPOSITE PICK: SJ +180 = LOSE
