Pittsburgh Pirates vs Detroit Tigers Betting Pick & Prediction 5/29/24

The road to the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay ironically runs through Green Bay. If the Buccaneers win, they will be the first team to play at home in the Super Bowl. Ever. The San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams have played in Super Bowls close to home, but never in their home stadium.

The Buccaneers need to pull off a mild upset to make history and they’ll have to beat the odds-on NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to do it. Green Bay is favored by four points at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> with a total of 51 at time of writing on Tuesday morning. Offshore sportsbooks are split between 3.5 and 4 for the game. It is obviously in your best interest to shop around for the best line depending on the side you like.

We’ve got a lot to discuss about the NFC Championship Game on January 24, so let’s do that.
<h3><strong><u>Tampa</u></strong><strong><u> Bay</u></strong><strong><u> Buccaneers</u></strong></h3>
The Buccaneers got their revenge. Everybody who proselytized about how tough it is to beat a team three times in the same season was vindicated when the Buccaneers won 30-20 over the New Orleans saints. Tampa Bay was the benefactor of the worst game of the season from Drew Brees and one of his worst playoff games ever.

The Bucs were +4 in turnover margin and won 30-20 despite only racking up 4.6 yards per play. Tampa Bay had six red zone trips to just two for the Saints by virtue of those turnovers and scored 21 points off of those takeaways. The Bucs only had 316 yards and 20 first downs, but that was good enough to advance because they didn’t make nearly as many mistakes.

They’ll have to play better on offense in all likelihood in this one. If the rematch angle was a big part of your Bucs/Saints handicap, it might as well be one here, too. The Buccaneers crushed the Packers 38-10 earlier this season. Green Bay jumped out to a 10-0 lead and the Buccaneers scored 38 unanswered. An Aaron Rodgers pick six started the scoring. A two-yard Ronald Jones touchdown run following a near pick six gave Tampa Bay the lead. They never looked back.

It was easily the worst game of the season from Rodgers, who was 16-of-35 for 160 yards with two picks. Green Bay was held to 3.3 yards per play. They averaged 6.3 yards per play for the season. So, the Buccaneers know they can play with the Packers and know they can rattle Rodgers, who was sacked four times in that game.

Maybe the Buccaneers have just gotten hot at the right time. They’ve won six in a row since the bye. On the other hand, in two playoff games, Brady is 40-of-73 for 580 yards with four touchdowns and zero picks. He had some big plays against the Washington Football Team, but was mostly bottled up by the Saints. Brady hasn’t turned the ball over. The Bucs are +4 in TO margin in the two playoff games.

<h3><strong><u>Green Bay</u></strong><strong><u> Packers</u></strong></h3>
The Packers dominated a very good Los Angeles Rams team in their Divisional Round matchup. Green Bay had 6.7 yards per play against a group many considered to be the best defense in the NFL. Rodgers was efficient going 23-of-36 for 296 with a couple touchdowns and no sacks. The offensive line was thought to be a bit of a concern for Green Bay with the David Bakhtiari injury, but the Packers answered those worries.

It wasn’t just the Rodgers show. Far from it. Aaron Jones fell a yard short of 100, but the Packers rushed for 188 yards and 5.2 yards per carry on the Rams. Aaron Donald was less than 100% for the game with his rib cartilage injury, but Green Bay dominated the game in the trenches. Even on defense, where Jared Goff was sacked four times.

Rodgers spread the ball around to six receivers and got most of his key pass catchers involved. That will be important. One major key to Tampa Bay’s success against the Saints is that Michael Thomas was shut out. He had zero catches. Everybody talked about the Davante Adams vs. Jalen Ramsey matchup for the Packers/Rams game. Adams was held in check in the sense that he had 7.3 yards per reception, but caught nine of his 10 targets and had a touchdown.

Personally, I wouldn’t worry too much about the efficiency and effectiveness of the Packers offense. Those that may shy away from the Packers here are likely going to do so because of concerns about the defense. It was a commonly held belief that Goff wouldn’t beat the Packers in the cold and he couldn’t.

The Packers allowed 5.5 yards per play on the season. They were one of the worst teams in the NFL at generating pressure, but did manage 41 sacks somehow. They ranked 13th in adjusted net yards per pass attempt allowed. Green Bay was a top-10 red zone defense, which they may have to rely on here. They were also a better third down defense than the Buccaneers.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
Certainly we have to consider the weather in this handicap. As the forecast gets clearer and the game gets nearer, that could have an impact on the total and also the side action. We’ve seen some speculatory money on the under at some places to bump the line down to 50.5 with early forecasts showing some windy conditions.

A lot of people will cite that Buccaneers vs. Packers game from Week 6, which was a major outlier all around. It was an uncharacteristically bad game for Rodgers and enough of an outlier with 3.3 yards per play for a top Green Bay offense to skew some of the advanced metrics for the Tampa Bay defense.

I’m on the Packers here. If you can get -3.5 instead of -4, that’s great. Shop around for the best line. Green Bay is the better all-around team.
<h4><strong>Pick: Green Bay -4</strong></h4>

<p>The Golden State Warriors (57-30; 44-39-4 ATS) eliminated the Denver Nuggets in five games in the previous round. After suffering a 126-121 defeat in Game 4 on the road, the Dubs clinched their second-round berth with a 102-98 home victory this past Wednesday.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The Grizzlies saw off the T-Wolves’ challenge&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Memphis Grizzlies (60-28; 55-32-1 ATS) needed six games to eliminate the resilient Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round. They overcame a double-digit second-half deficit in Game 6 this past Friday, dropping 40 fourth-quarter points on Minnesota.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks accounted for 23 points each in that huge road victory over the T-Wolves. Ja Morant had 17 points and 11 assists, making only four of his 14 attempts from the field, while Jaren Jackson Jr. posted an 18-point, 14-rebound double-double.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Brandon Clarke has led the way for the Grizzlies’ second unit. After posting a double-double of 21 points and 15 rebounds in Game 5, the 6-foot-8 power forward amassed 17 points, 11 boards, five assists, and three blocks in Game 6. The Grizzlies outscored the Timberwolves 111.7-105.8 per 100 possessions.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Golden State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-3 ATS in the last 11 games overall&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Memphis:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-7 ATS in the last ten playoff games&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Warriors were tied with the Celtics for the best defensive rating in the NBA this past regular season. They were yielding only 106.9 points per 100 possessions. The Grizzlies ranked fourth in the league, surrendering 109.0 points per 100 possessions. Hereof, I’m expecting a tight battle for all 48 minutes, and the Warriors’ experience could be a decisive factor in the crunch time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is the seventh semifinal appearance in ten years for The Splash Brothers. On the other side, Ja Morant and the Grizzlies are here for the first time. They certainly have enough weapons to compete with the Dubs, so get ready for an exciting opener.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Golden State Warriors -2.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The under is 8-2-1 in the last 11 encounters between Golden State and Memphis. Both teams love to play aggressive defense, so I would ride the H2H betting trend. They also defend the 3-point line very well, though neither side prefers to play at a slow pace.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Grizzlies were tallying 100.3 possessions per 48 minutes last regular season. They’ve averaged 102.9 in the first-round series against the Timberwolves. On the other side, the Warriors were tallying 96.7 possessions per 48 minutes against the Nuggets.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 220.5 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The NBA betting action continues with Week 2 of the 2021-22 season, and Monday’s card is full of intriguing picks and markets, so we have prepared the best Pistons vs. Hawks betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Detroit heads to State Farm Arena in Atlanta as a huge 10-point underdog, according to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, while the totals are listed at 218.5 points. Last season, the Pistons have won one of their three encounters with the Hawks while covering the spread on two occasions.</p>



<h2>The Pistons are looking to surpass a 90-point mark</h2>



<p>The Detroit Pistons have met the Chicago Bulls in their first two games of the new season, suffering a 94-88 loss at home as 5-point underdogs and a 97-82 defeat as 8-point road dogs. The Bulls shouldn’t be a defensive force this time around, but the Pistons have shown all their offensive flaws, shooting 39.3% from the field and 19.6% from beyond the 3-point line.</p>



<p>Furthermore, the Pistons have recorded only 31 assists over those two contests while turning the ball over a whopping 40 times. They’ve played without the No. 1 pick from the previous NBA Draft, as Cade Cunningham continues to recover from a sprained right ankle.</p>



<p>Cunningham should get his long-awaited NBA debut by the end of the month, but he’ll certainly miss Monday’s clash against Atlanta. Killian Hayes and Frank Jackson will continue to drive the Pistons’ offense, and they’ve combined for a paltry 14 points and six assists so far.</p>



<h2>The Hawks surprisingly lost at Cleveland</h2>



<p>The Atlanta Hawks opened the new season with a nice 113-87 home victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Trae Young handed out 14 assists, while Cam Reddish scored 20 points off the bench. The Hawks held the Mavs to just 33.3% shooting from the field and 30.2% from downtown, while they made 15 of their 35 attempts from deep (42.9%).</p>



<p>However, the Hawks put on a disappointing performance last Saturday and suffered a 101-95 defeat at the Cleveland Cavaliers. They shot only 38.4% from the field and 29.4% from beyond the arc (10-for-34), scoring just 42 points in the paint despite 17 offensive rebounds.</p>



<p>Once more, the Hawks played good defense, but they couldn’t get things going on the other side of the ball. John Collins had six points and missed all his three shots from deep, while Trae Young and De’Andre Hunter went 3-for-14 from downtown combined.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Detroit:</strong></p>



<ul><li>0-7 ATS in the last seven games overall</li><li>0-5 ATS in the last five games on the road&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Atlanta:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-2 ATS in the last seven outings as favorites</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-detroit-pistons-vs-atlanta-hawks-pick">Detroit Pistons vs. Atlanta Hawks Pick</h2>



<p>The Pistons should have a mountain to climb against this Atlanta team, especially if the Hawks put on another strong defensive performance. Detroit lacks quality everywhere, and I would be surprised to see them keeping it close in a matchup with the Hawks, who possess a lot of depth.</p>



<p>Atlanta should bounce back from a tough loss in Cleveland without breaking too much sweat. The Hawks have covered in their previous two outings as double-digit favorites and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven tilts at home.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Atlanta Hawks -10.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The under has hit in seven of the Pistons’ last nine outings. Considering their first two showings of the new season, we shouldn’t expect a lot from the Pistons’ offense, so I’m backing the under on the totals.</p>



<p>The under is 9-3 in the Hawks’ last 12 games overall, and it is 5-1 in their previous six outings on the home court. On the other hand, the total has gone over in four of the last five meetings between Atlanta and Detroit, but the Pistons will have to execute offensively very well to help this game fly over a 218.5-point line.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 218.5 points at -110</strong></p>
