The Philadelphia 76ers were all set to go into the playoffs restructured and reconfigured. But they have had to make changes on the run. And as of now, BetAnySports customers have not seen this team much in the new lineup envisioned by coach Brett Brown. But as their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Boston Celtics approaches, they may have a bit of mystery in their favor.

The Sixers (43-30 SU, 31-38-4 ATS) had been more or less led by Ben Simmons, the 6-10 guard / forward who possesses all the skills in the world, except for the ability to shoot. Brown had addressed this situation, to an extent, by making a move with Simmons, who was shifted to the power forward spot. This, in effect, made his complete lack of long-range marksmanship less of an issue. And to supply just that element, Shake Milton was installed at the point. He came into the bubble shooting almost 46% from beyond the arc. And he gave this lineup the ability to get playmaking from both him and Simmons.

Al Horford wound up the guy who had to come off the bench. Things hadn't seemed to work out putting him beside Joel Embiid. Sometimes those things happen.

Well, perhaps that HAS to happen at this point. Simmons suffered a knee injury that has taken him out of action completely. And now the Sixers have to replace his ability to penetrate and play defense (as he is among the league's best). So can they put together a plan that will give them a chance against this Boston team?

Here are the basketball playoff betting odds on the series, as they are posted by the folks at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>:

<strong>Boston Celtics -390</strong>
<strong>Philadelphia 76ers +320</strong>

It would be difficult to sit there and say that the Sixers could be a better team without Simmons. But they could present a different challenge than they might otherwise. For one thing, though Embiid has had some injury issues, and does not always dominate as he is capable of doing, he was good enough to drop 38 points and 13 rebounds on the Celtics in one meeting. And frankly, the Celtics don't have anyone who can handle him one-on-one.

Tobias Harris, who was the iron man of the NBA (league leader in minutes played) and Josh Richardson are certainly people who the Sixers need to step up. But we're especially curious about the depth. Alec Burks really had his moments in the bubble, as did Raul Neto. They'll be valuable backups at the guard position. You would think that Philly would be more dangerous from three-point territory without Simmons in the lineup.

And we wonder about how well they might be able to create some opportunities on the outside, so the contributions of Horford will be a key. The former Celtic has a lot of playoff experience. The Sixers had an atmosphere of underachievement when he was starting, which is a concern.

But the good news is that, even though it's a small sampling, the 76ers have been more effective offensively (121.3 efficiency rating) and have experienced a ten-point positive swing in the plus-minus per 100 possessions when Simmons wasn't on the floor in the seeding games.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Sixers, given the circumstances, weren't able to give Boston something of a scare. As such, the +320 price may have some value.

Basketball Playoff Betting -- Do Sixers Have a New Twist to Throw at Celtics?

The <b>Chicago Bulls</b> can make themselves a beneficiary of the NBA's revised playoff system, but they still have to battle to get into that situation.

The <b>New York Knicks </b>have put themselves in a position where they could conceivably have home court advantage in a first-round playoff series. At the same time, if they slip they might find themselves in a four-game play-in with Chicago.

Both of these teams have been moving in a better direction of late, and they'll meet at Madison Square Garden at 7:40PM ET on Wednesday.

Here are the NBA odds posted on the game, as they are posted at <b><a href="http://betanysports.eu/btb50/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://betanysports.eu/btb50/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1619696552511000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFFEB58oOgowqZBA_gYV_VnnXoTVQ">BetAnySports</a></b>:

The Knicks were riding a nine-game winning streak before they were halted the other night by the Phoenix Suns. Of course, that's no shame, because the Suns may well wind up with the #1 seed in the Western Conference.

New York (34-28 SU, 39-22-1 ATS) is tied for the #4 East seed with the Atlanta Hawks, but they are just two games ahead of the Celtics and Heat, who are tied for sixth. So the Knicks are not far from having to come into the format as the #7 team, where they could be knocked out in the space of two games.

The Bulls (26-35 SU, 32-28-1 ATS) are a game behind the Washington Wizards for the tenth spot, which is the cutoff. Here is how it will work - the seventh and eighth seed play each other, with the winner slotted at #7. The ninth and tenth-place teams play each other, with the winner playing the loser of that 7-8 game for the final conference playoff spot.

We explain that to illustrate that neither team has anything wrapped up yet, the Bulls even less so.

Both teams have first-year head coaches who have initiated some change. Billy Donovan came over from Oklahoma City and has already won more games than the Bulls won last year. And the team reached out and got a quality big man in a trade, picking up Nikola Vucevic, who played in the NBA All-Star Game, representing Orlando.

The Knicks have responded to Tom Thibodeau's efforts to instill a defensive culture much faster than most people expected. They are deliberate in terms of "Pace," ranking 30th (slowest) in the NBA, and they're 4th in Defensive Rating. They lack somewhat with regard to explosiveness, but Julius Randle, averaging 23.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and six assists, has become one of the more effective players in the NBA, while RJ Barrett has taken a big step forward in his second year, averaging over 17 points and shooting 74% at the line, where he "bricked" last season.

As <b>BetAnySports </b>customers may know, the Bulls will once again be without their leading scorer. Zach LaVine got flagged for COVID, and he has had to go into quarantine. Thus far he's missed seven games, and while Chicago has won four of those seven games, and have the highest ratio of assists to field goals made during that period, they still are not busting out with scoring options.

And we think that is a problem against a team that can defend the Knicks, who have yielded the lowest overall field goal percentage in the NBA. Not only is New York the best at stopping three-pointers (33.8% allowed), they're also fifth best in the league in defending two-point shots (allowing just 51.8%).

You'd think that the Bulls would need all the ways it could possibly get to score. Without LaVine, who averages 27.5 points, they don't. We'd like to explore the total, but we don't really see the value there. But the Knicks have a chance to shut them down, especially from beyond the arc, and they have gotten the money on a regular basis. We'll pull the trigger with <b>NEW YORK</b>.

Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Pick & Prediction 11/19/24

There weren't many teams who came into the post-season hotter than the Baltimore Ravens. Unless they were the Buffalo Bills.

So which team is going to have the advantage in this AFC Divisional Round matchup?

And who will play the most prominent roles?

The Bills are the team that won a division title (the AFC East), so they are hosting the game against a wild card team.

Kickoff is 8:15 PM ET at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. And in the AFC playoff betting odds at BetAnySports, the Bills are the favorites at home:

Buffalo Bills -2.5
Baltimore Ravens +2.5

Over 49.5 points -110
Under 49.5 points -110

The Ravens dialed it up on the defensive end last week, limiting Derrick Henry to next to nothing and the Titans to just 13 points. At this point they are on a pointspread roll, having covered seven consecutive games against the number.

This week the Bills will face a different challenge than the pocket-bound Philip Rivers (of Indianapolis). Lamar Jackson has been taking his own rushing game to a new level, running for 313 yards and a 7.8-yard average in the last three games.

It's interesting that at a point in the season when things weren't going all that well for the Ravens, Jackson made the remark that he felt his offense was becoming a little too "predictable," which may or may not have been a dig at offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

They went on to lose to the Patriots and the Titans, before going on their roll.

Opponents have talked about how they knew Baltimore was going to run on first down, and how Jackson's passes were going to go to either Hollywood Brown or Mark Andrews. And they have proven to be right; between those receivers, they account for about have the targets on this team.

And yes, the Ravens have run the ball 64% of the time on first down.

Of course, they have run 55.6% of the time, period, so this is not much of a surprise. But what is kind of interesting is that their opponents, both last week and this, were, and are, as "predictable" in their own way.

Tennessee, for instance, ran the ball 65% of the time on first down this season. And Buffalo is at the other end of the scale, passing it 61% of the time on first down - the highest rate in the league.

So it's really all in the execution. What the Ravens get with Jackson is someone who can both improvise and set out on designed runs, so he adds his own unpredictability factor in there. And you might add that Buffalo doesn't position itself all that well to stop him or any other Baltimore ball carrier, allowing 4.7 yards per carry.

Meanwhile, the Ravens are right up there in pass defense, yielding just 217 yards a game and 5.9 yards per attempt, less than any other AFC team.

John Harbaugh's teams often come down the stretch with a flourish. This could be such a caee, especially considering that Jackson now has a playoff win under his belt after a couple of failures. Yeah, we realize Buffalo had covered eight straight before last week's non-cover against Indy. But this seems like a good situation to take the points.

AFC Playoff Betting -- First Down Execution the Key in Bills-Ravens Clash

<h3><strong>SYRACUSE ORANGE at LOUISVILLE CARDINALS, 7 PM ET</strong>
<strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> College Football Odds: Louisville -18, Total 55</strong></h3>
This may look to some as a line that is inflated, but Syracuse has to raise some level of concern among those who normally look for "live" dogs, because they have lost touch with a number of opponents, losing by 25 points to North Carolina, 24 to Wake Forest, 14 to Duke, and 17 to Liberty, although we must admit that a 26-point loss to Clemson was actually a cover.

This is obviously not what head coach Dino Babers envisioned. With Eric Dungey at the controls, his high-speed offense was humming, and the Orange was nationally-ranked. But expectations had to be lowered with the torch being handed over to Tommy DeVito, and now, with DeVito out of action with an injury, Babers has had to turn to Rex Culpepper, who may be a "comeback kid" in the sense that he has beaten testicular cancer, which obviously endangered his career, but hasn't put up the kind of numbers that are going to give this team a chance most of the time.

Culpepper is completing only 46% of his passes, in a day and age where quarterbacks routinely complete 60%, and that should give you an indication.

Louisville is 2-6, but not as awful a 2-6 team as you might usually find. They can certainly do some things well. As an example, last time out against Virginia, the Cardinals lost 31-17, but got 317 yards on the ground. In last year's meeting with the 'Cuse, Louisville took off on a 56-34 romp behind 370 rushing yards. Syracuse had a very hard time stopping the run last season (allowing 5.2 yards per carry), and they aren't exactly stout up front in 2020 (4.6 ypc).

But Louisville is missing a big cog in its offense. A year ago,. Javian Hawkins rambled for 233 yards on the ground. That was part of a fabulous freshman season - one that produced the third highest one-season rushing total in school history (behind only two seasons from Heisman Trophy winner and reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson).

But Hawkins, who was not available for the Virginia game because of "undisclosed reasons," revealed this past week that he was opting out of the rest of the season to prepare for the NFL Draft, where he is expected to be a mid-level pick.

Scott Satterfield's team is not completely lost without Hawkins; this week they will welcome back Hassan Hall, who is averaging 5.5 yards a carry in action that has been limited because of injuries and personal family issues. Hall is also considered one of the best kick returners in the ACC, if not the country, and he was on the pre-season "watch list" for the Paul Hornung Award.

And we might also expect that some adjustment in the attack involving more legwork from quarterback Malik Cunningham may be in order. Cunningham, who threw for five TD's and ran for another in last year's meeting, had 197 rushing yards last week vs. Virginia. So they should be able to move the ball.

The Louisville defense is a hit-and-miss proposition; we'll be honest with that. But they are capable of very good efforts, or else they would not have been able to hold #2 Notre Dame to twelve points. We've considered going "under" with this one, but we don't figure Louisville to be taking its foot off the pedal, and we don't trust Syracuse to be able to keep this opponent below 35-38 points.

Let's go with LOUISVILLE.

College Football Betting -- Louisville May Take Ground Route Again vs. Syracuse

The BYU Cougars really laid it on Navy in the season opener, and it got some talk going that they might actually be able to go undefeated and advance to the college football playoff. Some things have changed since then, namely the SEC's entry into the fray, and they had to postpone last week's game. But they still come into the weekend ranked 18th by the Associated Press as they play host to the Troy Trojans of the Sun Belt Conference.

Game time is 10:15 PM ET at Lavell Edwards Stadium in Provo, and if you are a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you'll be able to get reduced juice on this game, not to mention the opportunity for real-time betting during the festivities through Sports Betting Prime.

BYU began its season with a resounding 55-3 win over Navy - a game that was arranged without a lot of advance notice because of holes in the two teams' schedules. They had a game slated against Army last week, and that could have been of some added significance because of the Cadets' #22 national ranking, but that was postponed because of a number of COVID-19 cases that broke out on campus. Things are so crazy that they are still having discussions about playing Boise State this season.

Troy has played once - last week against Middle Tennessee State, who they rolled over by a 47-14 score. So while they are into a regular routine, BYU will not have played a game in 19 days.

In the college football odds that have been posted on this game at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, BYU is laying more than two touchdowns:

<strong>BYU Cougars -14.5</strong>
<strong>Troy Trojans +14.5</strong>

<strong>Over 60.5 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 60.5 points -110</strong>

So was BYU as awesome as it looked against the Midshipmen? That question bears asking; after all, they had a 580-149 yardage edge, a 28-7 advantage in first downs, and held Navy's rushing attack, one of the most formidable in the nation last year, to just 119 yards. But to be honest, Navy had not done any contact drills to that point, with coronavirus concerns on campus, and they had not really resolved the quarterback situation. Perry Olsen announced intentions to transfer after the game, indicating that he was unhappy that Dalen Morris had been chosen over him as the QB starter.

When it comes to scheduling quirks, this one brought some real changes to BYU, which had previously found itself preparing for option attacks in back-to-back weeks from the service academies, but has not had some extra time to get ready for the spread offense of Troy, which was extremely effective against MTSU, with 496 total yards. What you can say about the Trojans is that they are balanced; QB Gunnar Watson had a very solid game last weekend, with 248 yards, and Troy had 240 yards on the ground as well.

Linebacker Chaz Ah You has been declared out for the season because he has elected to have a surgical procedure now rather than wait until the end of the season. He joins tight end Matt Bushman on the sidelines, along with reserve running backs Hinckley Ropati and Jackson McChesney. So some of the depth in the backfield has been cut into. Also, Sione Finau, the leading returning rusher from a year ago, is still in a recovery period from an ACL injury, and he is an iffy proposition.

And that could mean something. We think Zach Wilson needs balance in the attack to operate at a high level. He has a very accomplished offensive line, but Troy has most likely made some strides on defense, adding some Power 5 transfers, with an unlikely anchor in the middle linebacker spot. We don't know if Carlton Martial will be converted to safety for his NFL opportunity, but at the moment he is a 5-10 ball of fire who is all over the field and was recognized with pre-season All-America status. He's the playmaker BYU has to watch for.

Troy is more "together" on both sides than Navy was a few weeks ago. It would not surprise us if this one was tight all the way. We're taking points with TROY.

College Football Odds & Preview -- BYU Back Three Weeks Later For Encore vs. Troy

It may not be the last gasp, but the baseball season will be a lot more difficult to conduct, should the owners and players not be able to get together on a deal, which now may have a concession of sorts from the Players Association. But it may not be the kind of concession the owners are looking for, frankly.

To this point, the deadlock existed because the players were expecting to get prorated salaries, while the owners insisted that they had to come with a revenue-sharing situation, since the possibility of going the entire season without fans was a probability.

But the players are reportedly willing to defer some of the value of those prorated salaries to future seasons, so long as they don't have to submit to what they feel amounts to a salary cap.

The owners have ideas about a sliding pay scale, apparently, as a way to go forward to their satisfaction.

If the season CAN'T happen, who will the public, and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers, hold more accountable?

We're not sure that bettors will consider who is right and who is wrong. They just want to wager on something. So maybe they'll lay the blame at the feet of the side that turned down a compromise?

One can't be sure of that. But perception has a way of turning into reality. And in a scenario like this, where so many people have been out of work because of the virus-related shutdowns, it's likely that members of the general public won't be overly sympathetic toward those who have an opportunity to go back to work but "want more and more money" to do it.

Sure, the word "greed" will be brought up.

And even though it is conceivable that you could tag the owners with that word, the players are not going to win this battle for hearts and minds.

That's because there are only 30 owners, and they can very easily have a unified voice. Meanwhile, the players have a union that isn't, well, necessarily like other unions. After all, there is a tremendous disparity in income between the highest and lowest paid performers. And so the interests among these players could differ as well.

There are, for instance, a lot of players in a position of vulnerability if they are not getting a paycheck. That will especially be the case if they are near the bottom rung on the salary scale. When games are not played, these guys are not getting paid. And some of them had made certain financial obligations before the COVID-19 scare that put them in a bind. So you may wind up having a split, and then trouble if things get out into the press.

Even high-salaried players can feel the pressure.

Take Noah Syndergaard of the New York Met, for example. As some BetAnySports patrons know, he had Tommy John surgery, so he is done for the season. But he also signed for a lease on a penthouse apartment in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. The rent? A cool $27,000 per month.

Syndergaard hasn't paid any rent on it, and he is now being sued by the landlord for the full amount, which totals $250,000. His rationale is that because of the pandemic, he isn't going to use the place anyway (he is rehabbing in Florida), so he figured that a payment of $50,000 would be enough to let him walk away from it.

Obviously that didn't meet with approval from the landlord. And according to a New York Post, the right-hander they call "Thor" reacted angrily to one Twitter user who actually made a great point - “Yeah the guy is a monster for wanting you to live up to a lease agreement signed by both of you. How would you react if the team suddenly said yeah nah to your contract?"

Haha - yes, especially now that he isn't going to be of any use to the Mets this season. But he points out that since, in his view, the owners went back on their pledge to pay prorated salaries, he can apply the same standard. Then he told the Tweeter (is that the word?) to "Just shut up."

Whether players have had a legitimate beef or not, incidents like the one with Syndergaard or quotes like "I gotta get my money. I’m not playing unless I get mine, OK?” from Tampa Bay's Blake Snell are what fans retain in their consciousness. So I have a funny feeling they will always come up short if it came down to a PR battle.

Baseball should be back soon, and when that happens you can turn to <a href="http://betanysports.eu/btb50/"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>for more wagering opportunities than anywhere else.

Jackson State Tigers vs Kentucky Wildcats NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/22/24

The Miami Heat made surprisingly quick work of the Milwaukee Bucks. The Boston Celtics took care of business in more dramatic fashion against the Toronto Raptors. These teams will now battle in the Eastern Conference championship series. <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>patrons will have an interesting choice for Game 1, which is slated for Tuesday at 6:30 PM ET at the ESPN Wide of Sports complex.

Miami has had a six-day break after defeating Milwaukee, which may have been a bit handicapped by an injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo, but were clearly outplayed. The Heat has really done the job on the defensive end; of the 16 teams who made it into the playoffs, they have the fourth-best defensive rating.

This has not been an accident, as they have made a lineup change with defense in mind. They took out seven-foot Meyers Leonard and inserted Jae Crowder (former Celtic). This made them quicker to get out and defend the three-pointer, and with Crowder, they have not been hurt on the offensive end; in fact, Crowder shot more three-pointers than anyone else in the series against Milwaukee, hitting 22 of 51 (43%).

Another lineup change that was made upon the team entering the bubble involved putting Goran Dragic back into the starting lineup as a point guard. He had actually been getting comfortable as the sixth man, but rookie Kendrick Nunn, who was late to the Orlando-area complex, had too much catching up to do, and coach Erik Spoelstra had to pull the trigger. Dragic has responded by averaging 21.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists in the playoffs. And the combination of him, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo has posted a +59 plus-minus figure in just 188 minutes in the post-season, after registering that same figure in 475 minutes during the regular campaign.

In the NBA playoff betting odds posted at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, the Celtics are favored in Game 1:

<strong>Boston Celtics -1.5</strong>
<strong>Miami Heat +1.5</strong>

<strong>Over 209.5 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 209.5 points -110</strong>

The Celtics are also listed at -130 to win the series, with the Heat at +110.

Boston presents a challenge for the Heat's defensive scheme, which relies more on man-on-man coverage than a zone, because there is so much scoring balance. including three players (Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown) who tallied more than 20 points per game. And like Miami, they don't have one player who dominates the ball; no one, for instance, has a Usage rate higher than 28%.

But the Celtics did not shoot all that well against Toronto. Tatum, Brown, Walker and Marcus Smart were all under 43% in the series. Triples constituted 44.7% of their field goal attempts, and they were just 33.7% from beyond the arc. And let's keep in mind that Miami has redesigned its defensive approach to jump around and switch, with multiple players able to guard multiple positions, making them, in the words of Adebayo, "more dynamic." Unlike the Bucks, who let opponents shoot threes at will, the Heat has been very good at preventing attempts from downtown - fewer than any other playoff team.

One thing you can expect is for this to be largely a half-court series. The Heat was 27th in the "Pace" category, while Boston was 17th. But the Celts played to a Pace of 96.1 against Toronto, which had more fast-break points than anybody this season, so they wouldn't mind at all being "deliberate." That might play more into Miami's hands; they were second best in the NBA in three-point percentage, and they had the highest ratio of free throw attempts to field goal attempts.

We don't pay a lot of attention to the season series between these two. Boston won two of three, but in none of these was the complete cast of characters on hand, and in each of them, Miami was playing the second end of a back-to-back.

It may have seemed extremely unlikely at the start of all this, especially as the Heat was a sub-.500 road team. But they can get to the Finals. We like them in Game 1 and the series.

NBA Playoff Betting - Heat Continues Improbable Journey vs. Celtics in Game 1

Right now the signs point very strongly toward the <b>Miami Heat </b>and <b>San Antonio Spurs</b> being involved in SOME kind of playoff situation. But they may have to win their way into the field.

The game they play against each other on Wednesday night might go a long way to determining whether either one of them can go right into a series rather than a "play-in." The Heat, as the defending Eastern Conference champion, has been something of a disappointing entry. But the Spurs might be a bit of a different story, as they have been in a transition phase, which coach Gregg Popovich has, by all accounts, handled nicely.

Here is the setup, as it is posted at <b><a href="http://betanysports.eu/btb50/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://betanysports.eu/btb50/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1619703398456000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGHGr36XK7lPxVOGidorRlAP0exTg">BetAnySports</a></b>, where you can get reduced juice on this game, along with Sports Betting Prime, which enables real-time wagering:

<b>SAN ANTONIO SPURS at MIAMI HEAT, 8:10 PM ET (Wednesday)</b>

NBA Odds: <b>Heat -5 / Total 209</b>

Miami (32-30 SU, 27-35 ATS) is tied with Boston for the sixth spot in the East. That's extremely critical, because whoever finishes lower will have to be involved in a play-in process, where if they lose to the 8th seed (right now Charlotte) and then to the winner of the game between the #9 and #10 teams, they're out of the playoffs entirely.

The Spurs (31-29 SU, 33-26-1 ATS) are tied for eighth place in the West with Memphis, and that means they are likely ticketed for a play-in game.

Derrick White will be out of this game for San Antonio with an ankle injury, while the Heat will once again be missing Victor Oladipo (he's only played four games for them) with Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn, Tyler Herro (who's been an off-the-court problem for them) and Andre Iguodala listed as "day to day."

San Antonio's last game was a wild one, as it won a 146-143 overtime decision over the Washington Wizards. DeMar DeRozan had 37 points, with Dejounte Murray adding 25 and Keldon Johnson 21. They committed only six turnovers in the 53 minutes of play. Also, not one member of San Antonio's starting five made a three-pointer.

That's the more telling stat; San Antonio has attempted more two-point shots than any other team in the NBA. They have also taken fewer three-pointers than all other teams but one. All told, the Spurs have taken just 32% of their shots from beyond the arc.

We mention this because in the last meeting between these teams, which took place just a week ago, the Heat held the Spurs to just 34 points and 29% shooting in the second half on the way to a 107-87 victory. Miami forced San Antonio to take 35 shots from long range - that was 45% of their attempts.

And that is not an accident. The Heat's defensive scheme has coerced opponents to take fewer two-pointers and the second most triples of any team in the league.

So in other words, their design was very successful in making the Spurs do what they DID NOT want to do on offense. And that is a formula for success.

Maybe the total will work for you here (i.e.,the under), but because they can extract a matchup advantage as we've described, we're going to lay the points with <b>MIAMI</b>, even though it looks on paper as if they are banged up.

<i><b><a href="http://betanysports.eu/btb50/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://betanysports.eu/btb50/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1619703398457000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEjSxkiRa4i1RqtRNKONjhLPo1OPw">BetAnySports </a></b>gives you all the NBA action you can possibly handle.

Bakersfield Roadrunners vs Florida Gulf Coast Eagles NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/22/24

College football bowl season can be a strange thing. The Florida Atlantic Owls are traveling to a place where very few of their fans would like to go. But there was a bowl game involving two different teams (BYU and UCF) in their home stadium last night.

So the moral of the story is that bowl "slots" suck. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it.

So FAU takes this trip to face off against a rather capable offensive team in the Memphis Tigers. And to add to the confusion, the Montgomery Bowl is being played at a stadium called the Crampton Bowl - in Montgomery, AL.
<h3><strong>Montgomery Bowl</strong>
<strong>FLORIDA ATLANTIC OWLS vs. MEMPHIS TIGERS, 7 PM ET</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> College Football Odds: Memphis -8.5, Total 53</strong></h4>
You may recall that Ryan Silverfield took over the Memphis program before a Cotton Bowl matchup with Penn State last season, after Mike Norvell decided to bolt for Florida State. Don't get us started about how the NCAA allows coaches to leave kids flat right before one of the biggest games in the history of the program.

There was a vacancy for Norvell after Willie Taggart got the boot at FSU. Have we followed that right? And now Taggart, who moved down-state to Boca, has these Owls in the post-season.

Probably the key figure in FAU's season hasn't been Taggart, but defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt, who has a long coaching career that included pretty much starting the program at South Florida from scratch. Last season he was listed as an "analyst" under Taggart at Florida State, and then after the move south, Taggart asked him to "Analyze This" apparently, and Leavitt indeed has the Owls 16th in the nation in Total Defense. And that is what produced the 6-3 record (3-5 against the spread).

Only Southern Miss, in the season finale, tallied more than 20 points against FAU. And the 45-31 loss, in which the Golden Eagles gained over 500 yards (305 on the ground) was a downer. But they were able to keep Marshall from getting things out of hand in a 20-9 loss in the season's second game.

Since they are 12th nationally in pass defense, the Owls would seem to have a chance in the matchup against QB Brady White, who had 3,096 passing yards and 28 touchdowns on 60% completions - especially as the Tigers appear to have abandoned their run game.

But frankly, the FAU offense is painful to watch sometimes. Granted, QB Javion Posey has averaged 7.2 yards per carry. But he's only a 50% passer. And Nick Tronti is not much better, averaging 5.6 yards an attempt. Yikes! Taggart wouldn't dare turn to his own son, who had only two pass attempts and five carries this season.

This does not exploit the Achilles heel of the Memphis squad, which has been its inability to stop passing attacks. But that may not mean as much against the Owls, who simply have an execution problem. And these days, good offense can beat good defense. I mean, do you think FAU is going to corral Tahj Washington (18.2 yards per catch) or Calvin Austin III (17.1)?

The Owls, who will be without running back Malcolm Davidson (7.1 ypc), scored just 20 points a game, and that kind of production is simply not good enough to keep pace with the Tigers and White. Lay the chalk.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs Betting Pick & Prediction 11/19/24

We’re back to a normal golf tournament this week with the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Golf Course. The Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor is the track that the players will try to tame this week in search of a piece of the nice $6.9 million purse.

Last week’s team event for the Zurich Classic is one of the weirdest handicaps of the year, so it is nice to return to a regular stroke play event where the best man will win and the others will hope to make the cut for some prize money and FedEx Cup points.

Paul Casey was denied the opportunity at a third straight win in as many years due to COVID-19, but he’ll have a chance at the triple here as one of the shorter prices in a solid field.

Odds come from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a> as we break down the betting board for the Valspar Championship. We’ll have the whole list at the bottom of the article, but cite odds for players as we go.
<h3><strong><u>The Odds</u></strong></h3>
Justin Thomas is the +800 favorite with Dustin Johnson at +1000. JT doesn’t often play this event, so his entry is a bit of a surprise. DJ hadn’t teed it up at Innisbrook since 2010 prior to his T-6th in 2019. His 5-under was three shots back of the winner in Casey.

Patrick Reed is +1600 after shooting an ugly 152 here back in 2019. Prior to that, Reed had runner-up finishes in 2018 and 2015, hence the really short price on him this week. Corey Conners is +2000, with Viktor Hovland and two-time reigning champ Paul Casey at +2200. Louis Oosthuizen was great last week at the Zurich Classic and is priced at +2500, right in front of Sungjae Im, Abraham Ancer, and Scottie Scheffler at +2800.
<h3><strong><u>The Field</u></strong></h3>
This event is not technically part of the Florida swing, but a lot of players live in Florida and tee it up here. It also seems like a pretty good starting point to get going again after taking a couple weeks following The Masters. Casey has those two wins, but names like Jordan Spieth, Gary Woodland, Luke Donald, and Jim Furyk have wins here since 2010. Guys like Jason Kokrak, Reed, and Patrick Cantlay have finished second.

We’ve also had winners like Adam Hadwin and John Senden. More often than not, we’re looking at a player of quality to win this tournament. The feels is not like what we’d see for a major or a high-profile event, but good enough that we don’t want to look that far down the board.
<h3><strong><u>Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club Copperhead Course</u></strong></h3>
The Copperhead Course is a par 71 checking in at over 7,300 yards. A big reason why most of the winners have been household names or guys with a lot of game is that this is a really balanced golf course. Some of the greens are challenging, but a lot of course management skills come into play here. Players need to hit their target areas off of the tee to set up second shots. Greens are well-protected by bunkers around most of the course, which is why accuracy off of the tee is critical.

The course profiles a lot like Muirfield Village, the site of the Memorial Tournament, according to DataGolf. There is an emphasis on driving accuracy and strokes gained approach, but less emphasis on driving distance and putting than a regular event. Certainly you still need to putt well enough not to hurt yourself, but you want to get GIRs and keep in mind that two-putts are fine.
<h3><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h3>
Our course form section looks for Snake Charmers of the Copperhead Course this week. That starts with Casey and his two wins, but he isn’t the only one to have success here. Reed has those two runner-up finishes and another top-10 from 2016 when he finished seventh.

Jason Kokrak is +4000 with three top-10 finishes since 2015, including a T-2 back in 2019. His final-round 71 wasn’t quite good enough, but he did take home nearly $590,000 for his efforts.

Henrik Stenson isn’t the player that he once was and his +14000 price is evidence of that, but he’s finished in the top 11 three times in his last four starts. His best finish was fourth back in 2015. He was 24th back in 2019.

Ryan Moore missed the cut in 2019 with a couple of 72s, but he had top-five finishes back in 2015 and 2016. You’re getting a balloon number on him at +15000.

Luke Donald’s ninth-place finish in 2019 was his highest finish since 2014 when he had the fourth of four top-10 finishes here, including his 2012 win. He’s in the field at +40000.
<h3><strong><u>Recent Form</u></strong></h3>
Because a lot of the guys that have past success here are not in great form, we need to look at the players that are swinging it well. Looking alphabetically in individual stroke play events only, we start with Abraham Ancer, who has four straight top-30 finishes, with three in the top-25. He still needs to break through and get a high finish, especially with that 28/1 price tag, but he warranted a mention.

Keegan Bradley didn’t qualify for The Masters or play the RBC Heritage, but had three straight top-30 finishes going in. He’s also eighth in SG: Approach this season around names like Matt Wallace and Marc Leishman, who was just one of the winners at the Zurich. Maybe Bradley isn’t a pick to win, but is still worthy of a mention at +7500. Keep top-10 and top-20 props in mind.

This just might be the week for Corey Conners, who has three top-10 finishes in his last five events, including a fourth at the RBC Heritage. He’s 11th in SG: Approach and has actually been respectable with the putter this season. The +2000 price isn’t great, but he’s as sharp as anybody coming into this one.

Past winner Adam Hadwin was eighth at the Honda Classic. Brandon Hagy was quietly second there and 17th the next week in Texas before missing the cut at the RBC. Sungjae Im missed the cut at The Masters, but has three top-20 finishes otherwise in his last four starts. He was fourth here two years ago.

Chris Kirk has three straight top-25 finishes at +5500. Justin Thomas hasn’t played much, but when he has, he’s had a win in the PLAYERS Championship and a T-21 at The Masters.
<h3><strong><u>Picks &amp; Final Handicap</u></strong></h3>
Conners is going to make the cut here at +2000. It’s a short price, but in a field a little low on top-end talent, his all-around game is so strong that he should be on the first page of the leaderboard on Sunday. Conners is also 10th in driving accuracy with his distance. That’s a huge skill to have at this event.

The +4000 number on Jason Kokrak is pretty good as well. Kokrak has the three top-10 finishes here and has been in really solid form this season. He hits it a long way, but does so pretty accurately. To be top 30 in driving distance, but also top 80 in accuracy and top 25 in GIR% makes for a good skill set for a course like this. Kokrak has also been a top-25 putter this season.

For a long shot, I can’t get Ryan Moore out of my head. He has not played frequently, but ranks second in driving accuracy and has four top-20 finishes and two top-five finishes here in his career. It’s not like he played bad with a couple of 72s last time here. He missed the cut by a shot. He’s +15000, so I’m not really expecting miracles, but there’s enough value to throw a pizza bet on him here.

The Valspar Championship can be seen on Golf Channel and NBC.
