HITMAN | NFL Total - Saturday, Jan 15 2022 4:30PM
141 LVR / 142 CIN UNDER 49.5 BetOnlinedouble-dime bet

Analysis:
The raiders have been an offense I’ve wanted to fade for quite some time now. They are averaging only 19.4 PPG over their last 10 games since losing Henry Ruggs, yet their implied point total is at 21.5 in this one against what I consider at least a league average defense in Cincinnati.

The Raiders pass rush is legit and could cause Joe Burrow to not absolutely light up this defense like he has in weeks past. This pass rush bothered this Bengals offense enough that in their previous matchup this season the Bengals could only muster 4.1 YPP.

The weather is calling for potential snow and 20 degree temperatures, which could only help our under. Derek Carr in his career has thrown for only 6.1 YPA and a 8-7 TD/INT ratio in 7 career games where the temperature was 40 or below.

(-160)William Hill 143 NEP vs 144 BUF single-dime bet

Analysis:
Jonnu Smith (NE) U1.5 receptions -160 (DK/Caesars/365/MGM)

Juicy, but I have to play under 1.5 on a player who has failed to clear this number in 7 of his last 8 games and ran 7 routes last week. New England will try to be run heavy early, and if they fall behind (possibility as a 4.5 point underdog), Jonnu likely won’t be playing in the Patriots 11 personnel.

LAS VEGAS @ CINCINNATI | 01/15 | 4:30 PM EST
UNDER 49
ANALYSIS: Going to grab this total now because it may only drop looking at the weather forecast Saturday in Cincinnati. It will be cold this time of year of course but also snow showers with 1-3 inches of snow expected. Obviously, the Raiders are a warm-weather/indoor team so I could see them really struggling offensively. I'm still deciding on the spread but leaning Bengals.

NEW ENGLAND @ BUFFALO | 01/15 | 8:15 PM EST
UNDER 43.5
ANALYSIS: When these teams met in Buffalo in Week 13, wintry weather was a MAJOR factor. It's not going to be quite that bad on Saturday but it's going to be brutally cold with some wind and maybe a bit of snow, so I'm taking the Under now. Much like my pick on Raiders-Bengals, I expect this number to drop over the week.

LAS VEGAS @ CINCINNATI | 01/15 | 4:30 PM EST
UNDER 48.5
ANALYSIS: Set aside the Raiders’ offensive muscle-flexing last Sunday against the Chargers, and this is a so-so unit, having averaged 14 points in the previous five games. Cincy’s run defense is ranked No. 5 and should keep ailing RB Josh Jacobs grounded. At his best, Bengals QB Joe Burrow is a monster, owing in large part to the magnetic hands of his receivers, but inconsistency and a knack for getting sacked (51 times!) has haunted him. The lethal Vegas pass rush will put Burrow in constant chase mode.

NEW ENGLAND @ BUFFALO | 01/15 | 8:15 PM EST
UNDER 44
ANALYSIS: The NFL stuck these teams in a night slot with temperatures expected in single digits and wind speeds in double digits. When last these teams met in harsh circumstances, Patriots rookie QB Mac Jones threw all of four passes in a 14-10 game. Though Bills counterpart Josh Allen is a veteran of cold-weather games, his stats are below those accumulated in more comfy conditions. Weather aside, when rivals face off for the third time in seven weeks, the edge goes to the defenses.

+300 3-0 IN LAST 3 NFL O/U PICKS

NEW ENGLAND +4
ANALYSIS: There's just something about getting to bet on a Bill Belichick team as an underdog in a playoff game that's difficult to pass up. Particularly when it's against a team he's already faced twice during the regular season. New England will do everything it can to limit big plays on offense from Buffalo, which should keep them within striking distance.

+1000 24-13 IN LAST 37 NFL PICKS

LAS VEGAS @ CINCINNATI | 01/15 | 4:30 PM EST
CINCINNATI -5.5
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas escaped with a 35-32 overtime win over the Chargers last Sunday despite getting outgained by 94 yards. The Raiders' defense was on the field for 38:41 and 88 plays. Seven of their 10 victories have come indoors. Las Vegas will be playing its first game in sub-freezing temperatures in quite some time. I don't think this is an ideal spot. The Raiders have a -3.8 point differential, and these teams don't perform well on the road in the playoffs. On the flip side, the Bengals have a +5 point differential. The Raiders commit the second-most penalties per game, while Cincinnati commits the second-fewest. Las Vegas won't get revenge for its Week 11 loss. Take the Bengals.

LAS VEGAS @ CINCINNATI | 01/15 | 4:30 PM EST
CINCINNATI -5.5
ANALYSIS: The Raiders are riding a four-game winning streak into the playoffs, largely due to the defense playing well against limited passing attacks before gutting out a wild win over the Chargers in Week 18. I don't have confidence they'll be able to slow down a Bengals offense that piled up 75 points and 1,050 yards against the Ravens and Chiefs in its last two competitive games. Even though the Raiders offense just came out on top in a shootout, that hasn't been their M.O., averaging 16 points in their previous five games. Darren Waller should help, but this feels like a game a much better Bengals team wins by double digits.

+669 20-12 IN LAST 32 NFL ATS PICKS

NEW ENGLAND @ BUFFALO | 01/15 | 8:15 PM EST
BUFFALO -4
ANALYSIS: I really don't like how the Patriots ended the season, losing three of their last four games, including a 33-24 loss at Miami last week. Their only win over that time came against Jacksonville, the worst team in the league. The Bills also beat New England, 33-21, just three weeks ago. I think that matchup between the teams is a better gauge than the first matchup, which the Patriots won but was played in crazy windy conditions. Buffalo has ended the season on a roll, winning four straight games by an average of 15.0 points. I'm on the Bills.

LAS VEGAS +5.5
ANALYSIS: The Raiders were quite fortunate to make the playoffs, but this is a good matchup for them. The first meeting, a 32-13 Bengals' win in Las Vegas, was actually a toss-up game decided by turnovers. Joe Burrow was held to 148 passing yards, and a season-low 5.1 yards per attempt, as his offensive tackles struggled to hold up versus Maxx Crosby (101 pressures this season) and Yannick Ngakoue (10 sacks). Look for Josh Jacobs, who's been dynamite the past three weeks, to take the pressure off Derek Carr as the Raiders keep this close.

VMI @ THE CITADEL | 01/15 | 1:00 PM EST
THE CITADEL +1.5
ANALYSIS: I have the wrong team favored in this matchup. My model has The Citadel winning by 1 point here and that appears to correlate with their recent play. Citadel is coming off an impressive win against UNCG in which they were down 33-18 at halftime. The Bulldogs proceeded to win the second half 56-36 and clinched a 5 point home win as an underdog. Now they face a VMI team that recently lost by 16 to the same UNCG team The Citadel just came back to beat! I think Citadel can get this done, especially if they carry any momentum over from last game. Take the home dog.

FURMAN @ CHATTANOOGA | 01/15 | 3:00 PM EST
CHATTANOOGA -3
ANALYSIS: My Model is making the Mocs 6 points favorites at home in this game. They're coming off a bad loss to Western Carolina and will be looking to bounce back in a big way against Furman. Chattanooga hasn't beat this team since 2017, eight straight losses, and chances are that they have had this one circled on their schedule. It's going to be a battle. However, Chattanooga is the better team this year, and they're going to get a win at home where they are 5-1 SU on the season. I recommend taking the home favorite to cover the small number.

ARKANSAS @ LSU | 01/15 | 2:00 PM EST
LSU -6.5
ANALYSIS: What is going on here? Why is 15-1 LSU only 6.5 point favorites at home against this Arkansas team? My model is projecting an 11.5 point victory for the Tigers. The Razorbacks have failed to cover on the road against Mississippi State and Texas A&M. Those teams are way worse than LSU, who are 10-1 ATS at home. This almost feels too easy, but if you need another vote of confidence; KenPom makes this a 12 point game. LSU will continue to play well, especially at home, lay it.

+500 5-0 IN LAST 5 CBB PICKS

NORTHERN IOWA @ S. ILLINOIS | 01/15 | 8:00 PM EST
S. ILLINOIS PK
ANALYSIS: My model says Southern Illinois covers about two-thirds of the time and wins by seven, so you're getting strong value at this number. The Salukis lead the conference in scoring defense (60.8 points per game) and have held their first 14 opponents to fewer than 70 points -- the longest streak since 2006-07. In addition, Southern Illinois has won four of the last five meetings with UNI at the Banterra Center. I'm on the Salukis.

AUBURN @ OLE MISS | 01/15 | 8:30 PM EST
OLE MISS +9
ANALYSIS: The hype on Auburn has gotten a little out of hand. I realize the Tigers are good, and Jabari Smith is a star, but nine points is a lot to lay on the road against a team that has owned Auburn recently. Ole Miss has won 14 of the last 18 matchups against the Tigers. In addition, the Rebels have found their shooting stroke from beyond the 3-point arc; they're shooting 40.3 percent on 3-pointers in SEC play, much better than their 32.4 percent for the season. My model says Ole Miss covers 67 percent of the time.

10* CBB Conf Bank Job Game of the Year! 21-12

League: NCAAB
Competition: Oklahoma State vs Baylor
Time: Saturday, January 15, 05:00 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Baylor -13.5 (-110) (William Hill)
Rotation #: 736

Analysis:
Baylor is off their first loss of the season, losing by 3 to a sound Texas Tech squad. But the Bears are fantastic at both ends of the floor (obviously) and our ratings have them still ranked #1 in the nation. Oklahoma State has lost 6 of its last 8 games and the main culprit is FG percentage. The Cowboys are pathetic from the perimeter and they commit a lot of turnovers. If that's not bad enough facing the #1 team in CBB off their first loss, then adding March revenge should have Baylor even further motivated. I do believe this is a blowout waiting to happen. I'm on Baylor and laying the points. Thanks and best of luck to us! Jack Banks.

CBB Pinnacle CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR​
Handicapper: Wayne Root

League: NCAAB

Competition: Colorado vs Arizona State

Time: Saturday, January 15, 10:00 pm ET

Bet Type: Point Spread

Pick: Colorado +1.5 (-110) (William Hill)

Rotation #: 801

Analysis:

Pinnacle—-Colorado Colorado enters its fifth conference meeting this year with an 11-4 record after winning four of five contests. The Buffaloes recently defeated Washington 78-64 before falling 76-55 to No. 6-ranked Arizona. I like teams losing that first game prior to Saturday’s matchup. They excel and focus more for today’s game. Arizona State is 5-8 heading into its third Pac-12 meeting this year. The Sun Devils have dropped seven of their last ten outings, including a 78-50 Jan. 3 setback vs. Cal. Colorado enters its fifth conference meeting this year with an 11-4 record after winning four of five contests. The Buffaloes recently defeated Washington 78-64 before falling 76-55 to No. 6-ranked Arizona. Arizona State is 5-8 heading into its third Pac-12 meeting this year. The Sun Devils have dropped seven of their last ten outings, including a 78-50 Jan. 3 setback vs. Cal. The Sun Devils are ranked among college basketball's worst teams in several categories. DJ Horne (13.5) leads a roster featurung its share of underachieving top-100 recruits. Considering ASU's deep offensive struggles, I would've taken Colorado pre-Omnicron at any reasonable spread. Now, with the Sun Devils largely inactive since Dec. 22, I'll lock the Buffaloes in with confidence. Although the sports world is full of colorful outcomes, unless they have the game of their underwhelming season, Arizona State should struggle when matched with credible Pac-12 competition in their long-awaited return to active play. It shouldn't be pretty, but Colorado will win ATS this Sat. vs. ASU.

Analysis:

This game features the 8-6 Northwestern Wildcats and the 14-2 Michigan State Spartans. MSU off a close win against sub par Minnesota now they have 3 huge games on deck next and have date at home versus a team that needs a win in a talented Northwestern team.

Handicapper: Wayne Root

League: NCAAB

Competition: Arkansas vs Lsu

Time: Saturday, January 15, 02:00 pm ET

Bet Type: Point Spread

Pick: Lsu -6.5 (-110) (Play MGM)

Rotation #: 628

Analysis:

Root Reserve—-LSU Arkansas is coming into the contest losers in 5 of their last 7 games. LSU is a much more defensive oriented team as they rank 1st in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency. LSU has picked up 3 straight wins including wins over #16 Kentucky and #18 Tennessee after suffering their 1st loss at #11 Auburn. The SEC is arguably the strongest conference in the country this season and Arkansas is seeing it 1st hand as they are just 1-3 in conference play and sit near the bottom of the standings. LSU has gone 3-1 with the only loss being to top seeded Auburn and are in the 3rd position in the standings. LSU will drive this Arkansas team crazy with their defense. They have the top adjusted defensive efficiency rating in the country and for good reason, they have already played some of the top teams in the country and have had success. They are going to put the clamps on this Arkansas team that is just not at the level they believed they would be at this season. The Tigers love to control the pace and make opponents use a lot of time on the shot clock and eventually forcing tough and contested shots. This will be the same outcome Saturday as the Arkansas team will not be prepared or have the offensive talent to stick with this LSU squad.

NEW ENGLAND @ BUFFALO | 01/15 | 8:15 PM EST
BUFFALO -4.5
ANALYSIS: New England rookie QB Mac Jones will have to brave the elements once again in Buffalo, as the temperature will be in the single digits with the wind chill at -10. I would expect Bill Belichick to put Jones on a pitch count again and try to lean on his run game. The Bills know that to be the case and will be ready once again to take that away from the Pats.

LAS VEGAS @ CINCINNATI | 01/15 | 4:30 PM EST
CINCINNATI -5.5
ANALYSIS: What a nice story it has been for the Raiders and how they were able to turn around their season and get into the playoffs. Well, there won't be any fairy-tale ending here, as the Bengals are still as strong as they were when they beat the Raiders 32-13 earlier in this season.

FIU @ MIDDLE TENN. | 01/15 | 6:00 PM EST
MIDDLE TENN. -7.5
ANALYSIS: The Panthers have been slumping recently. They have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven games against Division I opponents. On the other side, the Blue Raiders are one of the best teams against the spread. They are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games and 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games. The Panthers are coming off of a 28 point loss to UAB. They are going to get dominated again in this game by an opponent that is far superior to them.

TOWSON @ ELON | 01/15 | 4:00 PM EST
TOWSON -5
ANALYSIS: The 11-5 Tigers are a much better team than the 4-12 Phoenix. Kenpom ranks Towson 162 spots ahead of Elon. The Tigers are also great against the spread as they are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games and 8-1 ATS away from home. Even if Terry Nolan does not play, the Tigers should still easily cover this small spread against such an inferior opponent. If he does play, they should win by at least 15 points. Lay the points with the Tigers.

TEXAS TECH @ KANSAS ST. | 01/15 | 12:00 PM EST
TEXAS TECH -4
ANALYSIS: The Red Raiders are a much better team than the Wildcats. Kenpom ranks the Red Raiders 14th and they rank the Wildcats at 71. The Red Raiders have an elite defense. Kenpom ranks them as the third best defense in the nation as they only allow 58.4 PPG. This spread is way too low. The Red Raiders are 5-1 SU and ATS in their last six games while the Wildcats are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five home games. The Red Raiders should be able to dominate the Wildcats on both sides of the court and easily cover this spread.

CREIGHTON @ XAVIER | 01/15 | 12:00 PM EST
XAVIER -9.5
ANALYSIS: The Bluejays are coming off of a 34 point loss on the road against Villanova. Now they have to face another very strong team in the Musketeers. The Musketeers are 9-1 SU and 7-1 ATS at home. They have a significantly better team on both sides of the court. Kenpom ranks the Musketeers 47 spots higher offensively and 23 spots higher defensively. The Musketeers will be able to easily handle the Bluejays and win by double digits.

WAKE FOREST @ VIRGINIA | 01/15 | 4:30 PM EST
WAKE FOREST +3.5
ANALYSIS: I like this matchup in this spot for Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons come off a home loss to Duke where they made two of 16 three-point attempts. Meanwhile, Virginia is coming off a hard-fought 54-52 home win over in-state rival Virginia Tech. Wake Forest has a significant defensive rebounding advantage and is led by Alondes Williams, who does a little bit of everything, averaging 20.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, five assists and 1.2 steals. Take the points in a bounce-back spot for the Demon Deacons.

LAS VEGAS @ CINCINNATI | 01/15 | 4:30 PM EST
LAS VEGAS +5.5
ANALYSIS: Too many people are making a big thing about the Bengals' 32-13 victory over the Raiders earlier in the season. The truth is that the previous matchup was a three-point game deep into the fourth quarter before it got out of hand and Cincinnati blew the game open. I'm expecting another close game between these teams on Saturday; the Raiders know nothing but close games. And no team has been as resilient as them. Vegas covers.

WASHINGTON @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 01/15 | 2:00 PM EST
WASHINGTON -130
ANALYSIS: Caps have now lost 4 straight games and they’ve had 5 days off to stew over it and fix some things, while the Isles have won all three of their games since break. Both teams are mostly healthy as the Caps will just be missing Dimitry Orlov, and Carl Hagelin while the Isles will just be without Ryan Pulock, their head coach Barry Trotz, and possibly Kyle Palmieri. Islanders are just 5-5-3 at home and the Caps won 6 of 8 meetings between these teams last season. There’s a reason the Caps are still favorites while on this losing streak, take the Caps on the road.

CLEVELAND @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 01/15 | 8:00 PM EST
CLEVELAND -4.5
ANALYSIS: The Thunder are not a good three-point shooting team. In fact, they have the second-worst three-point shooting percentage in the league. They like to attack the rim, which could be a problem against the duo of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. With the Cavaliers defense possibly set for a masterful performance, I think they cover.

UC RIVERSIDE @ CAL-BAKER. | 01/15 | 4:00 PM EST

ANALYSIS: Bakersfield has a nice defense and Riverside is 2-9 OU this season. Multiple models like Sagarin and Haslametrics have this coming in closer to 112 points, more conservative projections from my system have this at 119 points and the McClure simulations agree here as well. Grab the Under here as we have more than 5 points of value.

ST. LOUIS 160
ANALYSIS: Maple Leafs are coming off a loss in Arizona although it was on the back end of a back-to-back, and they are 9-5-2 on the road. They are 3-2 straight up since the break. Blues have won 7 of their last 9 games and they are 5-1 since the break. Maple Leafs are expected to get back Mitch Marner but they lost a couple players to the COVID list as well. Blues have been missing a bunch of players but they could be getting a lot back tonight. Blues are 15-3-2 at home this season, so even if the Blues don’t get any of their missing players back, this line seems a little ridiculous. This is a calculated risk because I do think there's still value on the Blues here even if they don't get any players back but if they do get any key players back, the line will shoot down so I am taking it now. Blues goalies haven’t allowed more than 1 goal in any of their last 3 games, take the value in the home dog.

CHICAGO -150
ANALYSIS: Ducks played in Minnesota last night while the Hawks were off, and lost 7-3 with their goalie Anthony Stolarz being pulled. Ducks have lost 6 of their 8 games since the break and only one of their losses was even within one goal. They are still missing key players like Troy Terry, and Sonny Milano is day to day. Blackhawks have won 3 straight games and they could be getting a few key players back today. Take the value in the Hawks at home.
