We have eight Bowl games this week in the NCAAF including this tilt in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 17, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Cougars vs. Bulldogs betting pick and odds.



Washington State and Fresno State will battle for the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl when they meet at SoFi Stadium. The Bulldogs are -3.5 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 53 points. These non-conference rivals have never met before.



Cougars couldn’t make it four in a row



The Washington State Cougars (7-5-0, 8-4-0 ATS) were in their best run of the season as they won three straight, but couldn’t make it four in a row after losing to the in-state and Pac-12 foes Washington Huskies at home. The Cougars played well in the opening half but scored just six points in the second 30 minutes and suffered a 51-33 loss in the end, allowing a season-high 51 points in the process.



Cameron Ward completed 33 of 52 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns. Even though he finished with -5 rushing yards on 16 attempts, Ward added a rushing TD. Nakia Watson led the Cougars on the ground with 73 yards and a score on 15 carries, while Robert Ferrel and Nakia Watson each chipped in a receiving touchdown and combined for 112 yards on 11 catches. Washington State recorded zero sacks opposite Washington’s six. Armauni Archie led the Cougars with eight tackles.



WR Renard Bell is dealing with an unknown injury, and it is unclear if he will be available for the LA Bowl versus Fresno State.



Bulldogs are red-hot right now



The Fresno State Bulldogs (9-4-0, 6-7-0 ATS) opened the season with four losses in five games, but since then, they connected eight victories to secure a top spot in the Mountain West (West). Not only that, the Bulldogs defeated the Boise State Broncos for the MW title, thanks to a strong defensive showing and special team effort. Fresno State did collect 245 yards opposite Boise State’s 321, but forced two turnovers and committed none on the other end to get a 28-16 road win.



Jake Haener completed 17 of 27 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown. Zane Pope caught that lone TD pass and had 51 yards on four receptions, while Nikko Remigio and Jalen Moreno-Cropper combined for 128 yards on ten catches. Jordan Mims was solid on the ground with a game-high 83 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 25 carries. Remigio also returned a punt for a 70-yard score, while on defense, LJ Early and Levelle Bailey contributed seven tackles apiece.



Trends:



Washington State:



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five Bowl games</li><li>1-5 ATS in the last six neutral site games</li><li>3-7 ATS in the last ten non-conference games</li></ul>



Fresno State:



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>6-2 ATS in the last eight vs. Pac-12 rivals</li><li>21-5 ATS in the last 26 games after accumulating less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game</li></ul>



Washington State Cougars vs. Fresno State Bulldogs Pick



Fresno State is in excellent form and is looking for the second Bowl in a row after winning the New Mexico Bowl with a win over the UTEP Miners last year. The Bulldogs will be playing on the wings of the first conference title in four years and here in Los Angeles, they will feel like hosts. Fresno State has better offense and defense, while Washington State’s weak secondary that is allowing 266.7 yards per game is going to be a problem for the Cougars here. Jalen Moreno-Cropper and Nikko Remigio could have a big game on Saturday.



Pick: Take the Bulldogs at -2.5 (-130)



The Total



The Bulldogs have been fantastic offensively in the past few weeks; they scored 28+ points in each of the last seven games and I wouldn’t be surprised if they score 30+ in this one. Still, I don’t think the Cougars will provide enough points for this game to be a high-scoring one, especially considering that Fresno State kept the opponents to 16 or fewer points in six of the previous eight games. Under is 10-3 in the Cougars’ last 13 games overall; Under is 5-0 in Washington State’s previous five non-conference games, while Under is 4-0 in the Cougars’ last four neutral site games.



Pick: Go Under 54.5 points (-130)

One of eight NHL games scheduled for Monday, December 19, is this conference duel in Vancouver, and here you can check out the best Blues vs. Canucks betting pick and odds.



St. Louis is looking for the fourth consecutive victory when they meet Vancouver at Rogers Arena. The Canucks are -115 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 6.5 goals. These Western Conference rivals met three times last year, and the Blues swept that series.



Blues won three in a row



The St. Louis Blues (15-15-1-0, 13-18 ATS) closed their three-game homestay with a 1-0 OT victory over Nashville and then opened a five-game road trip with a couple of wins. The Blues first beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 after a shootout and were more secure against the Calgary Flames in a 5-2 win. With this latest W, the Blues leapfrogged the Canucks in the Western Conference standings.



St. Louis scored three goals in the third period in Calgary and got a 5-2 win despite having only 24 shots opposite the Flames’ 43. Thomas Greiss was phenomenal between the sticks as he registered 41 saves, while the Blues had five players with two points. So far in the season, Jordan Kyrou (G 13, A 15) and Robert Thomas (G 7, A 21) lead the Blues with 28 points apiece.



Jordan Binnington (11-11-1) should be back at the goal for the Blues when they take on the Canucks on Monday. The 29-year-old is conceding 3.21 goals per game with a .894 SV% and two shutouts.



D Marco Scandella (hip), C Logan Brown (upper body), and D Scott Perunovich (shoulder) are out indefinitely.



Canucks didn’t have a chance against the Jets



The Vancouver Canucks (13-14-2-1, 14-16 ATS) opened their three-game home stand with a 5-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Although it was Vancouver’s second defeat in three games, they are playing much better compared to early in the season when they opened the campaign with seven consecutive losses. The Canucks won seven of the previous 11 games.



Still, they were powerless against the Jets in a 5-1 home defeat. Winnipeg had a 5-0 lead late in the game when Bo Horvat scored the only goal of the game for the Canucks. Spencer Martin didn’t have the best of games as he secured just 22 saves out of 27 shots. Elias Pettersson is Vancouver’s best player at the moment with 34 points (G 13, A 21), while Horvat is following him with 31 (G 22, A 9).



Spencer Martin (9-4-1) will get a chance to bounce back when the Canucks host the Blues on Monday. The 27-year-old is allowing 3.50 goals per contest this season along with a .889 SV% and no shutouts.



D Tyler Myers (lower body), LW Tanner Pearson (hand), and G Thatcher Demko (lower body) are out indefinitely. RW Brock Boeser (illness) and C Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) are questionable to feature on Monday against St. Louis.



Trends:



St. Louis:



<ul><li>21-6 in the last 27 vs. Pacific Division opponents</li><li>16-5 in the last 21 after allowing two goals or less in their previous game</li><li>17-7 in the last 24 vs. a team with a losing record</li></ul>



Vancouver:



<ul><li>2-5 in the last seven vs. Central Division rivals</li><li>2-5 in the last seven home games</li></ul>



St. Louis Blues vs. Vancouver Canucks Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;



Not only that St. Louis beat Vancouver in all three H2H duels last year but the Blues allowed just five goals in the process. They are playing solid hockey at the moment and for me, the Blues are looking closer to getting a victory on Monday. The Canucks have a better offense that is averaging 3.37 goals per game, while the Blues are scoring 2.97 gpg. Still, Vancouver scored only one goal in two defeats last week and does have the third-worst defense in the NHL that is allowing 3.87 goals per contest.



Pick: Take the Blues at -105



The Total



St. Louis’ defense is not much better. The Blues allow 3.65 goals per game and Jordan Binnington has the worst season of his career, so we can’t rely on St. Louis’ defense like we did in previous seasons. It’s true that the Blues conceded only five goals in the last three games, but Vancouver has a strong offense and I am backing the hosts to score at least three here. Over is 7-2 in the Blues’ last nine overall; Over is 25-9-2 in St. Louis’ previous 36 road games, while Over is 17-7-2 in the Canucks’ last 26 vs. Western Conference rivals.



Pick: Go Over 6.5 goals (-110)

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs USC Trojans Betting Pick & Prediction 11/16/24

Cleveland Indians

I’ve run the full gamut of emotions about the Indians this offseason. I’m cautiously excited and optimistic about the outfield and the bullpen, which are two points of contention for most baseball bettors this season. The bullpen would be crippled by the three-batter minimum that comes into play in 2020, but Terry Francona can keep matching up this season and hide his platoon-heavy pen from exposure.

The outfield is athletic. It is toolsy. It is going to be a lot better defensively than it has been for the last decade. That will aid an already elite starting staff that will lead the league in K% this season. The Indians aren’t going to allow a lot of runners to score.

What makes the Indians hard on a game-by-game basis is that they’ll be heavily favored more often than not because of the starting staff and Shane Bieber is getting a ton of buzz, so there won’t be any Josh Tomlins or Adam Plutkos running out there regularly. On the other hand, the offense may struggle at times. Cleveland will get on base a lot via the walk, but we’ll have to see if those runners get driven in.

I don’t envision many Cleveland bets this season. They went 91-71 last year and underachieved. The Twins are better. The rest of the division is equal or worse. The strength of the rotation will price Cleveland out more often than not. I think totals will be easier to play than money lines.

&nbsp;

Money Line Spots

The only competitive lines for the Indians will come when they play good teams. That was a problem for them last season. Cleveland was 68-40 against teams with losing records and just 23-31 against teams .500 or better. They’ll play 117 of their 162 games against teams that had losing records last season.

I do think that there will be some fade spots for the Indians. I think Corey Kluber will be overpriced. I think Shane Bieber will get overpriced. Bieber was the only one of the Indians starters to have problems the second and third time through the batting order. Opposing hitters posted a .326 wOBA the second time through and a .384 wOBA the third time through. I’d expect this to improve, but deep lineups will give him trouble.

I’ll talk more about Kluber in a bit. As far as spots to back the Indians at reasonable prices, it will be hard. The Indians were 82-52-28 from a first five standpoint last season. That is a .612 win percentage in the first five. A 61.2 percent win probability equates to a -157.73 line. The Indians will be much bigger than that on a regular basis, but should be better with Bieber instead of last year’s fifth starters.

Again, though, I just don’t see many spots to back them unless they step up in class. That didn’t go well last year.

&nbsp;

Totals Spots

This is where we can find some value on the Tribe. The starting staff is great. The bullpen has enough talent, I think. The lineup is a concern. When the Indians face pitch-to-contact guys, I’m curious to see how they fare. They have a lot of unproven hitters in the bottom half of the order with good career walk rates, but not much to show for their efforts in terms of batting average and contact quality.

I expect this to be an under team in a lot of ways. The Indians were 76-75-11 on totals last year, even with the horrible, terrible, no good pitching staffs in the division. The biggest difference to me is that the Indians will be better all over in the field. Even Carlos Santana is an upgrade at first base. The outfield will be light years better. Factor in the low number of balls in play against this pitching staff and opposing teams aren’t going to have many scoring chances. As it is, only the Astros, Dodgers, Angels, and Rays had fewer plate appearances against with runners in scoring position. The Indians actually allowed a .421 SLG in that split, which ranked 19th. I’d also expect that to improve.

&nbsp;

Individual Players to Watch

Corey Kluber – My Corey Kluber takes may be a tad incendiary. They may also be dead wrong. I know he still posted elite numbers last season, but I’m skeptical. Kluber allowed his highest HR/9 since 2012. His K% fell back to 2016 levels. His swinging strike rate was his lowest since 2014 and his zone-contact rate was his highest since 2014. His chase rate wasn’t as high. I wonder if the stuff is in decline a little bit.

Furthermore, Kluber has seen a velocity drop each of the last four seasons. He lowered his curveball usage last season. I’m curious to see how he deploys his arsenal this year. I think we could see some regression from Kluber if he keeps throwing the sinker at the same rate. He could be overpriced in the betting markets as a result, particularly against good offenses willing to go to the opposite field.

Shane Bieber – I can’t help but mention Bieber again. The Bieber steam is going to be insane. He’s getting a ton of buzz in Spring Training and his refined changeup looks great. He comes into this season after posting a 4.55 ERA with a 3.23 FIP and a 3.30 xFIP in his first 114.2 innings. He posted a .356 BABIP against and a 69.4 percent LOB%. There are a ton of signs of positive regression in the profile and he checks literally every single box in terms of line movement in his favor.

By no means am I actively going to fade Bieber. I’m just saying that if you want to back him, hit openers immediately. If you want to play some arbitrage or get out, wait until the line completely craters closer to game time.

Cleveland Indians 2019 MLB Season Betting Tips

Tuesday night brings us a larger nine-game slate to discuss.

As for Monday, Charlotte was this close several times to covering as there was one overtime, then a second. Thankfully the extra point turned out to be needed as a loss turned into a push in a game that sailed past the over.

Fortunately, Denver’s shooting heated up just enough along with their defensive intensity. Milwaukee had few answers as their perimeter shooting was contested and at best ice cold most of the night. The result was an easy double-digit point win for the Nuggets that was never in doubt.

Our overall record is 31-26-3 on the season and yes, leans mean there is no consensus spread out yet. However, staying away from the Toronto-Utah game if the spread moved too high proved to be prophetic.

We take a fast look at two games on this Tuesday night.

Lines from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes">5Dimes Sportsbook</a>.
<h3>Orlando Magic (+2.5) vs Memphis Grizzlies
O/U: 222.5</h3>
Orlando and Memphis are sort of the irresistible force meets the movable object. In one of the crazier games to look at. There is some total contrast. The Magic have connected on the over a whopping 11 straight times. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies control the pace to such a level that the under has hit in six consecutive games.

Memphis has been playing well over their previous five contests – going 4-1 straight up and ATS. However, Orlando has won just two of their five games but has covered in four of five – including a resounding 20-point blowout of the Houston Rockets on the road. This again presents a challenge as both teams come in with momentum.

Orlando’s epic streak with the over has pushed their record to 20-11 which is the slate’s best for road teams. Memphis is just 14-18 at home in that scenario. The Magic have benefited from some hot shooting along the way and they may be able to control enough of the pace to keep this game very close or win outright. Remember, the last meeting was a resounding 32-point win for Orlando at home in November.

Our pick tonight is taking Orlando with the 2.5 points. Also, that number may move a little bit later in the day so do not be surprised.

Pick: Orlando Magic, +2.5
<h3>Dallas Mavericks (-3) vs San Antonio Spurs
O/U: 227.5</h3>
The two teams come in off losses, but Dallas has won six of ten overall while San Antonio has won just four. Dallas thankfully is on the road where they are 21-11 while the Spurs are just 15-14 at home.

A big problem both teams of late is being able to cover. Dallas has not covered in three of their last five games. However, San Antonio has been far worse as they have missed the cover in seven consecutive contests.

Dallas is 2-3 straight up in their previous five games while San Antonio has lost four of five. Again, the overall ATS records are complete opposites. The Spurs are 9-20 at home while the Mavericks are 20-9-2 away from home. Only the Boston Celtics come close to covering that often on this slate ATS.

The Mavericks are also within a few games of Utah and could hop a few teams as the playoffs draw closer. Dallas’ scoring margin is +6.7 points per game on the road while San Antonio rides in with a negative 3.7 point scoring margin per contest.

Again, the Mavericks are giving only 3 points and have covered in seven consecutive road meetings against the San Antonio Spurs.

Pick: Dallas Mavericks, -3

One Final Note:

How will Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers game end up? The feeling is that Los Angeles should be able to cover and that is our one lean. Good luck tonight!

NBA Picks and Best Bets March 10, 2020

The NFL postseason continues with the AFC Championship Game that will be played in Kansas City on Sunday, January 29, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Bengals vs. Chiefs betting pick and odds.



Cincinnati is looking for the 11th win in a row when they visit Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bengals are 2-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 46.5 points. These conference rivals will meet for the second time this year; the Bengals won 27-24 in Cincinnati.



Bengals upset the Bills to make it to the AFC Championship Game



The Cincinnati Bengals (14-4-0, 13-4-1 ATS) are the hottest team in the AFC and they proved that in two playoff wins over the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills. The Bengals will play the AFC Championship Game for the second season in a row after defeating the Bills 27-10 on the road. Cincy never trailed in that game, and was better in total yards (412-325) and first downs (30-18), while the Bengals didn’t commit a single turnover and forced one on the other end in snowy conditions.



Joe Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns. Ja'Marr Chase and Hayden Hurst caught those TD passes and combined for 120 yards on ten receptions. Joe Mixon was excellent on the ground with a game-high 105 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. On defense, Mike Hilton led the team with eight tackles.



T Jonah Williams (knee), CB Tre Flowers (undisclosed), and G Alex Cappa (ankle) are questionable to feature in Kansas City on Sunday.



Chiefs didn’t let the Jaguars upset them in Kansas City



The Kansas City Chiefs (15-3-0, 5-12-1 ATS) came off a bye week and defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20 in the AFC Divisional Round tilt at home. The Chiefs were always up in this one and didn’t allow a potential upset from a brave Jacksonville team that already surprised the Chargers in the previous rounds. Kansas City’s defense did a solid job by forcing a couple of turnovers, while the offense didn’t make a single one in return.



Patrick Mahomes completed 22 of 30 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. He was out briefly after sustaining a right ankle injury but insisted to return as he didn’t want to be out of a playoff game. Chad Henne led a 98-yard touchdown drive while Mahomes was out, completing five of his seven attempts. Travis Kelce was dominant in the air as he caught a career-high 14 passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Marquez Valdes-Scantling also scored a receiving TD. Isiah Pacheco contributed with a game-high 95 yards on 12 rushing attempts. Defensively, Nick Bolton led the Chiefs with ten tackles.



WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) are questionable to face the Bengals on Sunday.



Trends:



Cincinnati:



<ul><li>5-1-1 ATS in the last seven playoff games</li><li>5-1 ATS in the last six games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game</li><li>13-2-1 ATS in the last 16 games vs. a team with a winning record</li></ul>



Kansas City:



<ul><li>2-8-1 ATS in the last 11 games overall</li><li>9-24-1 ATS in the last 34 vs. AFC rivals</li><li>1-8-1 ATS in the last ten home games</li></ul>



Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs Pick



Kansas City does have the best offense in the NFL which averages 29.2 points per game, but Cincinnati proved they can beat a high-scoring team as they beat the second-best offense on the road in the Divisional Round. The Bengals allowed just ten points against the Bills, and I don’t say they will limit the Chiefs to ten points here, but I am backing them to produce another strong defensive showing. Although the numbers are saying otherwise, I actually think the Bengals have more offensive weapons at their disposal. They are not bad themselves when it comes to the offense as they average 26.1 ppg, but if the Bengals can make crucial stops on defense, I am sure they will be heading to the second consecutive Super Bowl.



Pick: Take the Bengals at -0.5 (-133)



The Total



It’s hard to expect the Bengals to display another rock-solid defensive performance, while the Chiefs allowed 20 points to the Jacksonville Jaguars, so I think we will have a high-scoring affair here. Also, the overtime is on the cards as these two teams are pretty equal and this game could go either way. Over is 7-1-1 in the Bengals’ last nine games following a straight-up win of more than 14 points; Over is 10-4 in the Chiefs’ previous 14 games in January, while Over is 5-2 in Kansas City’s last 7 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.



Pick: Go Over 45.5 points (-120)
