Miami Dolphins vs Green Bay Packers Betting Pick & Prediction 11/28/24

Is it possible that Texas Tech can make another journey toward the Final Four? The Red Raiders are clearly executing the game plan of head coach Chris Beard, but do they have the players to make it happen?

They'll get a huge test on Sunday out of the Arkansas Razorbacks, who had their hands full in their opening game against Colgate but survived to continue.

This game tips off at 6:10 PM ET at the Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. TNT will show the game live, and good things await the customers at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a>, who can get reduced juice, as well as real-time wagering through Sports Betting Prime.

NCAA Tournament @ Indianapolis
TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS vs. ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS, 6:10 PM ET (TNT)

NCAA Tournament Betting Odds: Texas Tech -2 / Total 140.5

It's interesting that both of these coaches - Chris Beard of Texas Tech (a former Hoosier assistant under Bob Knight) and Eric Musselman of Arkansas - are being mentioned as potential candidates for the head coaching job at Indiana, which is vacant after Archie Miller's firing.

Arkansas allowed Colgate, one of the top scoring teams in the nation, to get off to a lead,and needed runs of 19-0 (spread between late first half and early second half) and 15-2 in order to create some distance. They were able to force 22 turnovers on the part of Colgate, which helped. And they got 29 points and thirteen rebounds out of 6-7 Justin Smith, who transferred from Indiana.

So now they play a "Red Raider" team for the second time in a row. But this one will be considerably tougher on the defensive end. Beard knows how to take a team out of its game plan. And with Arkansas that will involve making them pass the ball more than they would like to. The Hogs like to get rid of the ball quickly, so if Texas Tech can create more of a "grind," they could get the upper hand.

They have the capability to do that. But what they have to do is balance that with getting Arkansas to make mistakes, as forcing turnovers can have a tendency to accelerate the pace.

It is very hard to get inside and get baskets against these guys, because they close off lanes of penetration. Arkansas may be able to find an opening being the superb frosh, Moses Moody, who has been 37% accurate from three-point range.

But this is a tough slog for Arkansas, because they have to deal with a Red Raider squad that is going to get a lot of the "hustle points," simply through the way they ferociously attack the offensive glass and draw fouls. Marcus Santos-Silva is one of the better offensive rebounders in the country, and it's been that way going back to his days at VCU.

Certainly Arkansas is a strong program. But you know, this is nothing more challenging than what Texas Tech has encountered during the season, as they navigated their way around the uber-competitive Big 12. And let's not forget that Beard has shown a penchant for making second half adjustments in this event. Utah State had only four triples in Friday's 65-53 Red Raider win; this will be more difficult, but if anyone can control the tempo here, it's Beard's crew. So we will lay the small number.

<p>The six-game slate in the NBA scheduled for Sunday, March 12, will conclude with this inter-conference duel in Los Angeles, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Knicks vs. Lakers betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>New York is playing the second game of a back-to-back set when they visit Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers are slight 1-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at N/A points. These inter-conference rivals will meet for the second time this year; the Lakers won 129-123 in overtime in New York.</p>



<p><strong>Knicks fell short of the Kings in Sacramento</strong></p>



<p>The New York Knicks (39-29, 37-28-3 ATS) experienced their best period of the season during which they won nine in a row before losing the next two. Following an upsetting home loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the Knicks opened their four-game road trip in the west with a 122-117 defeat to the Sacramento Kings. New York was down by 16 points at halftime, and even though they displayed a better performance in the second half, the Kings still secured a W. The Knicks didn’t shoot well from the floor (41.6%), but they did win the rebounding battle (58-42), getting even 23 offensive rebounds in the process.</p>



<p>R.J. Barrett led the Knicks with a game-high 25 points and seven rebounds. Julius Randle registered a double-double of 23 points and ten boards with five assists and two steals, Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes scored 19 points apiece, Josh Hart chipped in nine points, a game-high 15 rebounds, team-high seven dimes, and team-high three thefts, while Mitchell Robinson scored nine points with eight boards.</p>



<p>PG Jalen Brunson is out for Saturday’s clash with the Clippers with a foot injury and is questionable to face the Lakers on Sunday.</p>



<p><strong>Lakers are moving up</strong></p>



<p>The Los Angeles Lakers (33-34, 33-33-1 ATS) won seven of the previous nine games and are currently on a three-game winning run. The Lakers lost the first of their five-game homestay but managed to win the following three over the Warriors, Grizzlies, and Raptors. Los Angeles was excellent from the field (56.3%) in their most recent 122-112 victory against the Toronto Raptors, and even though they committed 20 turnovers, the hosts still got away with a W.</p>



<p>D'Angelo Russell led the Lakers with 28 points, team-high nine assists, and five rebounds. Dennis Schroder had 23 points, seven dishes, and team-high four steals, Austin Reaves contributed 18 points and five dimes, while Rui Hachimura and Jarred Vanderbilt scored 16 points apiece.</p>



<p>SF LeBron James (foot) and C Mohamed Bamba (ankle) are out indefinitely and will not be able to play against the Knicks on Sunday.</p>

<p>N/A</p>



<p><strong>New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers Pick</strong></p>



<p>The Knicks will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set after facing the Clippers on Saturday. The Lakers will have an advantage as they had a full day to rest and prepare for this game, while their current form is encouraging, so I am going with the hosts to take a W here. Los Angeles has a more prolific offense that is scoring 116.7 points per game opposite New York’s 115.3 points per contest, but the Lakers’ defense has been impressive lately and that’s why I’m backing them. They kept the opponents below 113 points in each of the last four games.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Lakers at -1 (-110)</p>



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



<p>Although the Lakers’ defense is not even among the top 20 in the NBA, Los Angeles clearly improved in that segment recently. The offense is not that lethal without LeBron James, so I don’t expect the hosts to erupt offensively in this one. We did have overtime and a high-scoring affair in the lone H2H of the season, but I don’t think it’s going to happen on Sunday. Around 220 points is what I anticipate and it should be enough for the Under bettors to make a profit.</p>

<p>Week 10 of the 2021 college football season brings plenty of interesting markets to choose from, so we’re taking a closer look at Saturday’s Big 12 Conference showdown from Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, to get you the best Texas vs. Iowa State betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>The Longhorns are listed as 6.5-point road underdogs on BetDSI Sportsbook. The Cyclones are firm -240 moneyline favorites, while the totals sit at 60.5 points. Interestingly, the previous six encounters between these two schools have gone in the under.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Texas hopes to stop a three-game slide </h2>



<p>The Texas Longhorns (4-4; 4-4 ATS) have played the top-25 teams over their last three outings, going 0-3 straight up and ATS in the process. After a couple of home losses to No. 6 Oklahoma 55-48 and No. 12 Oklahoma State 32-24, the Longhorns suffered a 31-24 defeat at No. 16 Baylor this past Saturday.</p>



<p>In the first year under Steve Sarkisian, the Longhorns are struggling mightily to defend. They are 92<sup>nd</sup> in the nation in scoring defense (29.8), 118<sup>th</sup> in rushing yards allowed (206.9), and 65<sup>th</sup> in passing yards allowed per game (227.4).</p>



<p>On the other side of the ball, Texas is tallying 39.4 points per game (tied-10<sup>th</sup> in the nation). The Longhorns’ offense ranks 19<sup>th</sup> in rushing yards per contest (214.0), while junior QB Casey Thompson has tossed for 1,554 yards, 17 touchdowns, and six interceptions so far this season.</p>



<h2>Iowa State looks to bounce back from a shootout defeat at West Virginia</h2>



<p>The Iowa State Cyclones (5-3; 3-5 ATS) put an end to their three-game winning streak last Saturday. They lost at the West Virginia Mountaineers 38-31 as 7.5-point road favorites only a week after a 24-21 home victory over No. 8 Oklahoma State.</p>



<p>The Cyclones blew a seven-point lead in Week 9, surrendering 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. They allowed the Mountaineers to rack up 492 all-purpose yards and 28 1<sup>st</sup> downs. Now, the Cyclones are 23<sup>rd</sup> in the country in scoring defense (19.6) and fifth in total yards allowed per contest (291.9).</p>



<p>Iowa State is scoring 32.1 points per game (41<sup>st</sup> in the country). The Cyclones are posting 178.6 rushing yards per game (50<sup>th</sup>) and 5.2 per carry (tied-25<sup>th</sup>), while Brock Purdy has 1,833 yards, 12 touchdowns, and four picks on his season tally.</p>



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



<p><strong>Texas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five outings as underdogs</li><li>4-8-1 ATS in the last 13 games against the Big 12 Conference&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Iowa State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>10-3 ATS in the last 13 home games as favorites of 6.5 or fewer points</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-texas-vs-iowa-state-pick">Texas vs. Iowa State Pick</h2>



<p>On paper, the Longhorns are a better offensive team than Iowa State, but the Cyclones are undoubtedly a much better defensive team than Texas. Hereof, I’m backing the Cyclones to come out on top and cover a 6.5-point spread.</p>



<p>The Cyclones’ defense looks to bounce back from that poor performance at West Virginia. They’ll have a difficult task to slow down the Longhorns, but I highly doubt Texas’ chances to take care of Iowa State’s offense. While the Cyclones surrender only 3.1 yards per rush, the Longhorns allow 5.3.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Iowa State -6.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The Longhorns have scored 24 points in each of their previous two outings. If they want to upset the odds at Iowa State, the Longhorns will have to surpass that 24-point mark because it’s hard to imagine their defense holding the Cyclones below 30 points.</p>



<p>Texas has allowed 27 or more points in five straight games at any location. The over is 5-2 in the Longhorns’ last seven outings on the road, and it is 4-1 in the Cyclones’ last five games overall, so we might get the over in the Texas vs. Iowa State matchup for the first time since 2014. Last year, Iowa State beat Texas 23-20 as a 1.5-point road dog with a total of 57.5 points.</p>

Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs Detroit Titans NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/26/24

<p>No team in baseball needed a win last night more than the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs had lost back-to-back games and allowed at least 13 runs in each one of them. They had been in freefall mode in the NL Central Division. One game won’t cure it all, but it will at least stop the bleeding for a time.</p>



<p>The bleeding may begin again today, as the Cubs draw another tough starter in Zach Eflin of the Phillies. Adbert Alzolay will take the mound for the Cubs as they are lined as a small favorite at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a> of -115 with a total of 7.5 at Wrigley Field.</p>



<h2 id="h-philadelphia-phillies"><strong><u>Philadelphia Phillies</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Phillies jumped all over Zach Davies and Jake Arrieta in the first two games of the series, but were stymied by Alec Mills and the Cubs bullpen on Wednesday. It was a rare off night for Zack Wheeler and that seemed to set the tone for the game. Wheeler gave up seven runs over 4.2 innings, though only four were earned, as the Phillies just didn’t play a crisp game.</p>



<p>The Phillies now sit at 41-43 in the NL East. They have the worst run differential in the division, but the Mets are the only team with a winning record in the division, so they’re right there with everybody else at present.</p>



<p>Despite what we saw in the first two games of the series, this Phillies offense is below average. The Phillies have a .309 wOBA, which ranks 16th, but their 94 wRC+ shows that they are 6% below league average when park factors and the league scoring environment are put into the equation. That is still better than where the Cubs sit now, but the Phillies do leave something to be desired on offense.</p>



<p>Zach Eflin has a 4.13 ERA, but he also has a 3.68 FIP in his 16 starts. He certainly deserves a better fate than being 3-6 on the season, but the Phillies haven’t given him a lot of run support this year and the Philadelphia bullpen is among the worst in baseball.</p>



<p>That means it could be on Eflin to help his own cause tonight with a good outing. He has allowed four or more runs in six of his 16 starts and all of them have been on the road. A stiff breeze blowing in from left could be helpful to both Eflin and Alzolay in this game.</p>



<h2 id="h-chicago-cubs"><strong><u>Chicago Cubs</u></strong></h2>



<p>It wasn’t that long ago that the Cubs were tied with the Brewers for the top spot in the NL Central Division. They sit 8.5 games back of Milwaukee at present. The Cubs were tied for the division lead on June 24. A Cubs freefall with 11 straight losses coincided with a huge winning streak for the Brewers and led to bad things in the standings.</p>



<p>Losses aside, the Cubs could be in for a tumultuous month of July. The Trade Deadline is fast-approaching and Chicago has some impending free agents that would be of interest to a lot of teams around the league. Speculation kicked up yesterday when Kris Bryant was removed from the game, but it turned out that he had his hand inadvertently stepped on and that was why he left.</p>



<p>That means that Bryant is questionable tonight for a Cubs offense that ranks 18th in wOBA and has a 92 wRC+. The Cubs were actually a really good offense for the first six weeks of the season, but that unit has been one of the worst in baseball over the last two months. The Cubs hit a lot of homers, but also strike out a lot, don’t walk enough, and only have a .226 batting average as a team.</p>



<p>Adbert Alzolay makes the start today with a 4.48 ERA and a 4.99 FIP. The 26-year-old right-hnader has made 14 starts and has nice peripherals with his strikeout and walk rates, plus a .232 BABIP against, but he has allowed 16 home runs in his 72.1 innings. That aforementioned breeze blowing in could be a big help to him in this start.</p>



<p>The Cubs do have a bullpen advantage, but their bullpen has really struggled lately. Chicago’s pen had the highest LOB% in baseball for a time, but is now dropping down the ranks in that category, which has coincided with this recent run of losses.</p>



<h2 id="h-phillies-vs-cubs-free-pick"><strong><u>Phillies vs. Cubs Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>A bit of a breeze blowing in and some cooler temperatures didn’t help yesterday’s total at all, as the game flew over the number. With two lesser pitchers on the mound today, we see a total priced around the same number. With two bad bullpens and two starts susceptible to some hard contact and homers, over 7.5 is the play tonight.</p>
