The NFL has center stage today, but there is some college basketball on the betting board as well. Some good games take place in the early window, but with the amount of lead time available, our focus here will be on the later games.

That includes a couple of conference clashes with St. John’s vs. Georgetown and Stanford vs. USC. We’ll break ‘em both down, even though the only similarities are that they are conference games and will take place after dinnertime on the East Coast.

<h3>St. John’s Red Storm at Georgetown Hoyas (-1, 153.5)</h3>
Tune into FS1 for this Big East tip at 7:30 p.m. with the Hoyas the ever-so-slight favorite at -1 with a total of 153.5 in this matchup. The Red Storm dropped their conference opener on Friday by a 77-68 score to Seton Hall. Now they’re further down the Atlantic seaboard to take on Georgetown in Washington D.C.

St. John’s picked a bad time to go 4-for-21 from 3 in that loss to Seton Hall. In the two losses for the Johnnies, they’ve had .899 and .944 points per possession. When the offense has been good, the wins have come, however BYU and Seton Hall are the two best teams St. John’s has played and they’ve lost both games.

Georgetown is also off to a 0-1 start in Big East play after a defeat at home against Villanova. The Hoyas did okay offensively against the Wildcats, but also allowed a season-worst 1.179 points per possession. Georgetown has played a couple of quality defensive games against UMBC and Coppin State and those have been the team’s only wins.

In all three defeats, the Hoyas allowed over 1.1 PPP. That seems like a reasonable ask of St. John’s, who has shot 53.6% from 2 and also 74.3% at the free throw line. Georgetown has shot the ball worse in their games. The Hoyas are also 305th in the nation in TO% on defense at 13.5%. They’ve also turned the ball over too much.

With extra possessions coming for St. John’s and a better offensive profile, they get the nod here at +1, but you might as well go ahead and take the +100 on the money line at BetOnline.
<h4>Pick: St. John’s ML</h4>
<h3>Stanford at USC (-1, 136)</h3>
It has taken some time, but Jerod Haase has really built up this Stanford program and may have his best team yet as the Cardinal open up Pac-12 play. Stanford scored a huge commitment from Ziaire Williams, who is off to a bit of a slow start, but the Cardinal can rely on seniors Oscar da Silva and Daejon Davis to pick up the load. The 6-foot-9 da Silva is off to a 27-for-42 start from the floor through four games, even though USC has played three high-quality opponents in Alabama, UNC, and Indiana.

Stanford is just 2-2, but that’s a byproduct of the schedule in a lot of ways. On the other hand, UNC’s defense showed major flaws this past week against Iowa and Stanford only managed .889 PPP in that losing effort.

USC has not played a challenging schedule to date. The Trojans lost to UConn, the best team that they’ve played, by a 61-58 score in a game that was played to only 60 possessions. USC was out of its element in that one and also shot just 3-of-19 from deep. Andy Enfield’s team has been poor at the free throw line, but has shot better than 56% on two-pointers.

The Trojans are third in 2P% on defense at just 36.2%. They’ve played Cal Baptist, Montana, BYU, UConn, and UC Irvine, a lot of teams that tilt more towards the defensive side, much like Stanford.

That’s why USC is the pick in this one. Stanford will have to find some offensive efficiency under challenging conditions. The Cardinal are only shooting 31% from deep and USC has been stingy inside the arc.
<h4>Pick: USC -1</h4>

College Basketball Picks December 13: St. John's vs. Georgetown & Stanford vs. USC

When the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans met in last year’s playoffs, the outcome was surprising. Baltimore was favored at some places by double digits and never came close to covering in a 28-12 loss. The Titans, one of the hottest teams in the NFL going into the postseason, wound up stopped by the Kansas City Chiefs the following weekend, but not after beating the Ravens to get to the AFC Championship Game.

Baltimore’s shot at revenge comes now. Sure, the two teams played in the regular season, a game Tennessee won in overtime, but the Ravens certainly wanted this spot in the postseason and now they’ve got it against the AFC South champs.

Baltimore is -3.5 with reduced juice at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie">MyBookie Sportsbook</a> with a total of 54.5 for the matchup in Nashville on Sunday in the 1:05 p.m. ET time slot.

We’ll take a look at this game from all sides and find a play on the game.
<h3>Baltimore Ravens</h3>
Early money has been on Tennessee and we even saw this game drop to -3 on Thursday for a while before getting bet back up to 3.5 at a few places around the market. The Ravens were put behind the eight-ball a bit last season for the playoff game. They rested most of their starters in Week 17 and then earned one of the two playoff bye weeks. As a result, they looked rusted and disjointed against a team that was setting the world on fire.

Baltimore outgained Tennessee 530-300 in that game, but also had the game’s only three turnovers and went 0-for-4 on fourth down. This season, it is the Ravens with five straight wins and covers and a Tennessee team that has had issues against the Texans, Browns, and Packers in recent weeks, including the need for a game-winning field goal to win the division in Week 17 as a 7.5-point favorite.

The Ravens wound up second in the NFL in points allowed. They were fourth in points per drive allowed and ninth in points per drive scored. They scored on 45.3% of their possessions, while opponents only scored on 30% of theirs.

The Titans really shut Lamar Jackson down back in Week 11. Since then, Jackson has an 11/3 TD/INT ratio with 56 carries for 430 yards in wins over Dallas, Cleveland, Jacksonville, the Giants, and Cincinnati. That isn’t exactly a murderer’s row of opponents, but at least the offense is humming with some measure of efficiency going into this one.

Jackson is 0-2 in the playoffs with the Ravens. He’s got a 3/3 TD/INT ratio and has only completed 51% of his passes. He’s been sacked 11 times, including four in last year’s game against the Titans. He did accumulate 365 passing yards and 143 rushing yards in the losing effort.

<h3>Tennessee Titans</h3>
The Ravens defense will be under siege here from a Tennessee offense that has all sorts of ways to create points. The Titans had 6.2 yards per play in the regular season meeting compared to 4.9 for the Ravens. Derrick Henry had 28 carries for 133 in that game and Ryan Tannehill threw for 259 yards.

Points were left on the field by both teams, as nine red zone trips only accounted for three touchdowns. The Titans were 2-of-5, which was not the case in most of their games. The Titans scored six on 48 of 64 red zone trips and a 75% success rate was second only to the Packers. The Ravens, meanwhile, ranked 12th.

The Titans have to outscore opponents. It’s a pretty simple formula. The defense is bad. The Titans have the league’s worst third-down defense, as opponents have converted just under 52% of their “Money Down” attempts. The red zone defense was the third-worst in the NFL. That will be the question for Tennessee here. How many points can they score on the Baltimore defense?

Tannehill completed over 65% of his throws with a 33/7 TD/INT ratio. Henry won the rushing “Triple Crown” with 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns while leading the league in attempts with 378.

The Titans defense allowed 5.9 yards per play. The Titans offense gained 6.2 yards per play. The Titans were also +11 in turnover margin, as the defense got burned a lot, but also generated 23 takeaways. The Titans offense had 12 giveaways. Even with 23 takeaways, though, the Titans allowed opponents to score on 45.2% of their drives and they finished 27th in points per drive allowed.
<h3>Pick &amp; Analysis</h3>
This is the highest variance game of the first round. If the Ravens lose the turnover battle, they are going to lose the game. They have to maximize their possessions while not giving extra ones to this potent Titans offense. And then they have to hope to stop a Titans team that scored 2.87 points per drive this season.

These are also two well-coached teams. John Harbaugh’s playoff success has been limited lately, but he’s still widely regarded as an excellent head coach. Mike Vrabel has certainly carved out a large amount of respect as well.

Ultimately, I’ll take the better defense in the Ravens. There is a reason why the Titans have all of this firepower and a highly public profile and are still a 3.5-point underdog at home. I think the line says a lot here and it says Baltimore is the side. There are some 3s out there if you want to lay -125 and that’s better than 3.5 at reduced juice.
<h4>Pick: Baltimore Ravens -3.5</h4>

There are plenty of intriguing matchups to choose from in the MLB on Monday, August 15, with 14 games on the schedule including this American League duel, and here you can check out the best Astros vs. White Sox betting pick and odds.



Houston and Chicago will open a four-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field, and the Astros are -125 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 8.5 runs. These American League rivals have met three times this season, and Houston won two of those games.



Astros made it to the top



The Houston Astros climbed up to the top of the American League and leapfrogged the New York Yankees after winning eight of the previous 11 games. Houston swept the divisional rivals Oakland Athletics in a three-game series but will have a harder job in the next two road series against the White Sox and Braves.



Christian Javier (7-8) pitched for six scoreless innings in a 6-3 victory over the A’s, allowing just one hit with six strikeouts and three walks. Houston scored four runs in the first two innings, and Alex Bregman homered and drove in three RBIs. Ryan Pressly got his 23rd save of the campaign.



Jose Urquidy (11-4) will start on the mound for the 22nd start this season when he faces the White Sox on Monday. The 27-year-old right-hander owns a 3.85 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 94/26 K/BB ratio across 119.1 innings of work.



White Sox swept the Tigers



The Chicago White Sox bounced back from a series loss against the Kansas City Royals on the road with the series sweep of the divisional rivals Detroit Tigers at home. Chicago won all three games and allowed seven runs in total. They improved to a 59-56 record and are still alive in the wildcard race.



Lance Lynn (3-5) displayed a solid performance over 6.0 innings, allowing two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and no walks. Kendall Graveman earned his 6th save of the season. A.J. Pollock, Eloy Jimenez, and Jose Abreu had a multi-hit game, while Andrew Vaughn registered two RBIs.



Johnny Cueto (4-5) is getting his 16th start of the year when he takes on the Astros on Monday. The 36-year-old righty will carry a great 2.91 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and a 68/23 K/BB ratio in 102.0 innings. Cueto dominated in his previous start against the Astros and got a win while allowing no runs on two hits across 7.0 innings.



Trends:



Houston:



<ul><li>2-5 in the last seven road games</li><li>1-4 in the last five Monday games</li></ul>



Chicago:



<ul><li>5-0 in the last five home games vs. a right-handed starter</li><li>5-0 in the last five home games</li><li>7-0 in the last seven home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5</li></ul>



Houston Astros vs. Chicago White Sox Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;



Even though the White Sox are better against southpaws, they improved against right-handers lately, so Jose Urquidy will have a lot of work to do in order to record a W here. He didn’t pitch well in his latest start but still got a victory against Texas, which I don’t think it’ll happen here if he allows five runs again. It was Urquidy’s first game in which he didn’t log the quality start after nine in a row. Johnny Cueto was unstoppable against the Astros in his start this season, and although I don’t believe he will pitch another scoreless game, I am still backing the White Sox to get an edge here. Their home form is improving while the Astros are not playing well on the road recently.



Pick: Take the White Sox at +100



The Total



With two excellent pitchers in this matchup, it’s hard to expect a high-scoring game. Urquidy allowed more than three runs just once in the last ten starts, while Cueto surrendered more than three earned runs only once this entire season. Under is 4-1 in the Astros’ last five vs. American League Central rivals and Under is 4-1 in Houston’s previous five road games. Also, Under is 5-1 in the White Sox’s last six vs. American League West opponents, and Under is 8-2-1 in Chicago’s previous 11 games following a win.



Pick: Go Under 8.5 runs at -120

Houston Astros vs. Chicago White Sox Odds, Pick, Prediction 8/15/22

Week 7 Sunday Night Football will see the Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers lock horns for the first time since 2017. Indy searches for its fifth consecutive victory over San Francisco, so we’re taking a closer look at this interconference showdown to get you the best Colts vs. 49ers betting pick and odds.



The Colts head to Levi’s Stadium as 4-point underdogs on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>. The Niners are -195 moneyline favorites with a total of 43.0 runs.&nbsp;



<h2>Indianapolis trounced Houston to get back on the right track</h2>



The Indianapolis Colts (2-4; 4-2 ATS) are coming off a 31-3 home victory to the Houston Texans this past Sunday. It was their second win in the last three outings along with a heart-breaking 31-25 overtime loss at the Baltimore Ravens.



The Colts had an easy job against the hapless Texans. They picked off Davis Mills twice while racking up 174 rushing yards (6.7 per carry). Jonathan Taylor went off for 145 yards and a couple of touchdowns on just 14 carries, whilst Carson Wentz completed 11 of his 20 passing attempts for 223 yards and two scores.



After a 0-3 start on the season, the Colts are back in the playoff chase. They are tallying 23.2 points per contest (19th in the league) on 124.2 rushing yards (11th) and 243.3 passing yards (15th). Indianapolis surrenders 21.8 points in a return (11th) on 111.0 rushing yards (14th) and 255.5 passing yards (20th).



<h2>San Francisco lost three straight contests</h2>



The San Francisco 49ers (2-3; 1-4 ATS) are coming off a bye and will start Jimmy Garoppolo under center. Garoppolo sat out Week 5 and a 17-10 defeat at the Arizona Cardinals, while rookie Trey Lance went 15-of-29 for 192 yards and an interception in his first start.



Lance also had 16 carries for 89 yards, leading the way for the injury-depleted San Francisco backfield. RB JaMycal Hasty will return for Sunday’s clash against the Colts, but Lance won’t be available due to a knee injury. Tackle Trent Williams is doubtful to play which is another problem for the Niners’ offense that already misses TE George Kittle, RB Raheem Mostert, and RB Jeff Wilson.&nbsp;



San Francisco ranks 17th in the league in points scored per game (23.4) and 12th in rushing yards (12th). Garoppolo hasn’t impressed through his four appearances this season, tossing for 925 yards, five touchdowns, and a couple of picks.



Trends:



Indianapolis:



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games against the NFC</li><li>5-2 ATS in the last seven games against San Francisco&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



San Francisco:



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>1-6 ATS in the last seven games played in Week 7&nbsp;</li><li>2-8 ATS in the last ten games at home</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-indianapolis-colts-vs-san-francisco-49ers-pick">Indianapolis Colts vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick</h2>



This is a big game for both teams, so I’m expecting a hard-fought battle. Hereof, with four points on the table, I have to take the underdogs. I would feel more comfortable with a 7-point spread, so if you’re satisfied with slightly lower wages, buy a few points and go with the Colts.



We should see a back-and-forth battle between a couple of run-heavy teams. I would be surprised if someone wins by a comfortable margin. Four points are a tricky spread, and we all saw what happened with the Colts in Baltimore.



Pick: Take Indianapolis Colts +4.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



I’ve mentioned the Colts’ defensive stats, and the Niners’ numbers are similar. San Francisco allows 23.8 points on 113.2 rushing yards and 216.6 passing yards. Both teams are capable of playing tough defense and love to run the ball, so we shouldn’t see a firecracker.



On the other hand, the line is set pretty low, and I can see this clash finishing 24-21 or 23-20. The totals look like a tricky wager, and I’ll take the over only because of a possible dramatic finish. The over is 5-1 in the Colts’ last six outings on the road, and it is 4-2 in the Niners’ last six showings at home.



Pick: Go over 43.0 points at -110

Rhode Island Rams vs Brown Bears NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/10/24

The 2021-22 NHL season continues with a loaded Friday card, so we are taking a closer look at the interconference showdown at SAP Center at San Jose to get you the best Maple Leafs vs. Sharks betting pick and odds.&nbsp;



Toronto and San Jose will wrap up their two-game regular-season series, and the Sharks outlasted the Maple Leafs 5-3 as huge +200 road underdogs on October 22. This time around, the Sharks are listed as +137 home dogs on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, while the Maple Leafs are -151 moneyline favorites with a total of 6.0 goals.



<h2>The Maple Leafs aim for their sixth straight road victory   </h2>



The Toronto Maple Leafs (14-6-1) are coming off an impressive 6-2 victory at the Los Angeles Kings this past Wednesday. It was their second win in a row and seventh in the last eight outings at any location, while the Maple Leafs are undefeated in five consecutive showings on the road.



Six different players found the net for Toronto at Staples Center last Wednesday. The Maple Leafs took 38 shots and won 13 faceoffs more than their rivals (32-19), while defenseman Rasmus Sandin led the way with three assists.



Jack Campbell posted 20 saves against the Kings to improve to 11-4-1 on the season, and he’s expected to patrol the crease against the Sharks. Campbell owns a terrific 1.68 GAA and a .943 save percentage. The Maple Leafs are yielding only 2.24 goals per contest (3rd in the NHL) while scoring 2.71 in a return (tied-22nd).



<h2>The Sharks shoot for their third win in a row</h2>



The San Jose Sharks (10-8-1) will close down a four-game homestand Friday, searching for their third consecutive victory. After a heavy 4-0 loss to the Washington Capitals, the Sharks have defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 in overtime and the Ottawa Senators 6-3.



Last Wednesday, the Sharks overcame a 3-2 deficit against the Sens, scoring four unanswered goals. Winger Timo Meier led the charge with one goal and a pair of dishes, while James Reimer turned 26 shots aside.



Reimer is now 6-3-1 with a 1.98 GAA and a .936 save percentage on the season, and he should guard the cage Friday against Toronto. The Sharks are surrendering 2.79 goals per contest (14th in the NHL) while tallying 2.74 in a return (21st).



Trends:



Toronto:



<ul><li>12-2 in the last 14 games overall</li><li>5-0 in the last five games on the road</li></ul>



San Jose:



<ul><li>2-4 in the last six outings as underdogs</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-toronto-maple-leafs-vs-san-jose-sharks-pick">Toronto Maple Leafs vs. San Jose Sharks Pick</h2>



We should see a great game, as San Jose will look to slow down the red-hot Maple Leafs and sweep their regular-season series. Back in October, Toronto was in the midst of a four-game losing streak, but the Maple Leafs have improved a lot since then.



Toronto has dropped only two of its previous 14 games at any location. The Maple Leafs’ defense has been impressive during that stretch, so I’m going with Toronto to win this battle.



Pick: Take Toronto Maple Leafs at -151&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



Only one of Toronto’s last five games has produced more than three goals in total. I’ve mentioned the Maple Leafs’ excellent form on the defensive end, while the Sharks’ blue line has been pretty much hit-or-miss so far this season.



Hereof, I don’t expect to see a proper high-scoring game as we saw in their previous duel in October. Both teams are in the top ten when it comes to penalty killing, while both projected starting goalies have been outstanding thus far.



Pick: Go under 6.0 goals at -116&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. San Jose Sharks Odds, Pick, Prediction 11/26/21

The San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers continue their four-game series at Dodger Stadium on Friday, July 1, 2022. It’s Game 5 of their 19-game regular-season set, and the Dodgers won two of their three road contests against the Padres in April.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Thursday night’s opener of this set has been excluded from the analysis, and the Dodgers were listed as -135 home favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>. They open as firm -180 moneyline favorites for Friday’s clash, while San Diego sat at +150 with a total of 7.5 runs, so here’s the best Padres vs. Dodgers betting pick.&nbsp;



The Padres hope to get Manny Machado back&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The San Diego Padres put an end to their three-game losing streak last Wednesday. They blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-0 to avoid a sweep in a two-game road set, improving to 46-31 on the season. San Diego entered Thursday’s battle at Dodger Stadium as the second-best team in the NL West, trailing the Dodgers by a game and a half.&nbsp;



Manny Machado has missed the previous nine games due to an ankle injury. In his absence, the Padres have gone 5-4, and Machado could be ready to play Friday in LA. Manny is slashing .328/.400/.545 with 12 home runs and 46 RBIs across 253 at-bats this season.&nbsp;



Blake Snell will take the mound Friday and shoot for his first win in 2022. The 29-year-old southpaw has five losses in seven starts this season. He’s recorded a pedestrian 5.60 ERA and 1.44 WHIP while striking out 38 across 35.1 innings. Snell was 0-3 with a 6.20 ERA and 3.57 FIP in four starts in June.&nbsp;



The Dodgers aim for another win behind Tony Gonsolin&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 8-4 this past Wednesday to avoid a sweep in a three-game series at Coors Field. They failed to win the third straight series after outlasting Cincinnati and Atlanta on the road but improved their AL-best record to 46-28.&nbsp;



Tony Gonsolin will get the nod Friday and search for his tenth win in 2022. The 28-year-old righty is 9-0 with a ridiculous 1.58 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 14 starts (74 innings) this season. The Dodgers have emerged victorious in 11 of his 14 appearances, including the previous six.&nbsp;



Gonsolin tossed 5.2 innings of a one-run ball in a no-decision against the Braves last Sunday. He allowed five hits and a couple of walks while punching out five. Tony went 4-0 with a 1.24 ERA and 3.68 FIP in five starts in June.&nbsp;



Trends:



San Diego:&nbsp;



<ul><li>1-4 in the last five games on the road&nbsp;</li><li>1-11 in the last 12 games against the Dodgers&nbsp;</li><li>0-7 in Blake Snell’s last seven starts&nbsp;</li></ul>



LA Dodgers:



<ul><li>6-3 in the last nine games overall&nbsp;</li><li>11-3 in the last 14 home games against San Diego&nbsp;</li><li>6-0 in Tony Gonsolin’s last six starts&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Pick&nbsp;



If Tony Gonsolin continues to impress, the Dodgers will come out on top. Gonsolin will eventually have a meltdown, but until that happens, go with the Dodgers whenever he’s on the mound. Tony’s splitter and slider have a minus-21 run value combined, and Gonsolin ranks in the 94th percentile in hard-hit percentage.&nbsp;



The current Padres have only eight hits and a .694 OPS in 34 at-bats against Gonsolin. On the other side, the current Dodgers lineup has 14 hits and a .632 OPS versus Blake Snell, who’s allowed 16 runs (14 earned) over his last four starts.&nbsp;



Pick: Take Los Angeles Dodgers at -180&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



Both teams have a lot of top-notch arms in their bullpens, so the line has been set pretty low at 7.5 runs. The Dodgers ‘pen has a sharp 2.45 ERA and 2.95 FIP in the last ten days and 33 innings of work, while the Padres bullpen has recorded a 2.90 ERA and 3.45 FIP across 31 frames in that span.&nbsp;



The Dodgers’ lineup is more dangerous when hitting the righties (95 OPS+ against the left-handed starters in 2022), so Blake Snell might have a chance to go deep into this game. Hereof, I’ll take the under.&nbsp;



Pick: Go under 7.5 runs at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Odds, Pick, Prediction 7/1/22

The 2021-22 CBB season continues Wednesday, November 17, with plenty of interesting non-conference action around the country, so we’re taking a closer look at the marquee showdown from Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to get you the best Michigan State vs. Butler betting pick and odds.



The Spartans meet the Bulldogs for the first time since 2010 when Butler outlasted Michigan State 52-50 to clinch the NCAA final berth. This time around, Michigan State is a small 2.5-point road fave, while the totals sit at 131.0 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;



<h2>Michigan State bounced back from an opening loss </h2>



The Michigan State Spartans (1-1; 1-1 ATS) got smashed by the No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks in the opening game of the season, 87-74, failing to cover a 4.5-point spread, so they were fired up last Friday when they trounced Western Michigan as 24.5-point home favorites, 90-46.



The Spartans held the Broncos to 26.5% shooting from the field and 17.9% from beyond the 3-point line while posting a whopping 58 rebounds (18 offensive). Senior forward Gabe Brown led the way with 17 points and seven rebounds, making all of his seven free-throw attempts, while another senior F Joey Houser posted a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double.



Sophomore guard A.J. Hoggard, who led the way against Kansas with 17 points, accounted for seven points and seven assists last Friday. The Spartans smashed Western Michigan despite 4-for-19 shooting from deep, while they were 7-for-20 in the opener.



<h2>Butler hopes to stay unbeaten  </h2>



The Butler Bulldogs (3-0; 1-2 ATS) are coming off a 70-59 home win to the Troy Trojans this past Saturday. Playing on the second day of a back-to-back set, the Bulldogs failed to cover a 13-point spread despite a solid performance on both sides of the floor.



Butler shot 53.2% from the field and 48.0% from downtown (12-for-25) while allowing the Trojans to make only four of their 19 attempts from deep. The Bulldogs handed out 18 assists, but they also committed a whopping 21 turnovers.



Sophomore guard Chuck Harris had a big game against Troy, accounting for 23 points on a 9-for-14 shooting from the field. Freshman G Jayden Taylor had ten points, six boards, and four assists, while senior guard Jair Bolden added 21 points off the bench (4-for-5 from deep).



Trends:



Michigan State:



<ul><li>10-3 ATS in the last 13 road games as favorites of 2.5 or fewer points&nbsp;</li></ul>



Butler:



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games played in November</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-michigan-state-vs-butler-pick">Michigan State vs. Butler Pick</h2>



The visitors are listed as small favorites for a reason. They possess more depth than Butler, while the Bulldogs’ frontcourt will struggle to cope with the Spartans’ strength and length. On the other hand, Butler is a senior-laden team, capable of playing tough defense, so we should see a hard-fought battle that will come down to the wire.



I’m backing the Spartans to establish their low-post game and escape with a narrow victory. They’ve covered ten times over their previous 13 outings on the road as favorites of 2.5 or fewer points.



Pick: Take Michigan State Spartans -2.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The under is 7-2 in Michigan State’s last nine games overall, and it is 14-6 in the Spartans’ previous 20 outings at any location. On the other side, the under has hit in each of the Bulldogs’ first three outings in 2021-22, so I would ride these betting trends and take the under.



The Bulldogs love to play at a slow pace, averaging only 65.7 possessions per 40 minutes (353rd in the nation). The hosts will try their best to control the clock and slow down things as much as they can.



Pick: Go under 131.0 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;

Michigan State vs. Butler Odds, Pick, Prediction 11/17/21

Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season brings three games on Thanksgiving, so we’re taking a closer look at Thursday Night Football to get you the best Buffalo Bills vs. New Orleans Saints betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.



Buffalo meets New Orleans for the first time since 2017, and the Bills are winless in five straight encounters with the Saints. New Orleans opened as a 4.5-point home underdog, while the totals are set at 46.0 points.&nbsp;&nbsp;



<h2>The Bills got embarrassed in Week 11 </h2>



The Buffalo Bills fell to 6-4 SU and 5-4-1 ATS on the season following a heavy 41-15 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts this past Sunday. It was their third defeat in the last five outings, and the Bills have covered the spread only once during that span.



Buffalo couldn’t cope with Jonathan Taylor, who went off for 185 rushing yards on 32 carries and scored five touchdowns. The Bills turned the ball over four times, and Josh Allen finished with 209 yards and a couple of touchdowns and interceptions.



Even though they own the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL (29.5 PPG), the Bills have struggled mightily to put points on the scoreboard over the last few weeks. On the other side of the ball, Buffalo is yielding 17.6 points per game (2nd in the league) on 283.7 total yards (1st).



<h2>The Saints hope to break out of their slump         </h2>



The New Orleans Saints (5-5; 5-5 ATS) are on a three-game losing streak following a 40-29 defeat at the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. They missed Alvin Kamara (knee) for the second straight week, and without their best player, the Saints couldn’t cope with the Eagles, trailing by 20 points at halftime.



Trevor Siemian went 22-of-40 for 214 yards, three touchdowns, and a pair of interceptions last weekend. The Saints’ defense fell apart and gave up a whopping 242 rushing yards on 50 carries, so New Orleans had the ball in possession for only 22:59.



The injury-depleted Saints are now tallying 25.1 points per game (14th in the NFL) on 321.3 total yards (24th). They are surrendering 21.8 points in a return (10th) on 89.8 rushing yards (3rd) and 252.2 passing yards per contest (22nd).



Trends:



Buffalo:



<ul><li>13-6-1 ATS in the last 20 games overall</li><li>7-0 ATS in the last seven games against the NFC&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



New Orleans:



<ul><li>3-6 ATS in the last nine games played in Week 12</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-buffalo-bills-vs-new-orleans-saints-pick">Buffalo Bills vs. New Orleans Saints Pick</h2>



Alvin Kamara hasn’t practiced since last Wednesday, so he’ll probably remain sidelined for Thursday’s clash against the Bills. The Saints will have a mountain to climb, especially because the Bills will be fired up to make amends for their embarrassing defeat in front of the home fans.



Buffalo is one of the best defensive teams in the league, so I’m expecting the Bills to bounce back from that awful display in Week 11. The Saints will try to hang in on the back of their defense, but with Kamara on the self, New Orleans will struggle to outscore the Bills.



Pick: Take Buffalo Bills -4.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The Saints’ last three home games went in the over. Also, the over is 6-1 in their previous seven contests at any location, and it is 7-2 in New Orleans’ last nine encounters with the AFC East. On the flip side, the over is 4-2 in the Bills’ last six games overall and 10-4 in Buffalo’s previous 14 outings away from home.



I would ride the betting trends, although the Saints will have a tall task to surpass a 20-point mark against the Bills’ sturdy defensive unit. Kamara’s eventual presence would certainly help, while the Saints’ D has to step up and slow the Bills down.



Pick: Go over 46.0 points at -110

Buffalo Bills vs. New Orleans Saints Odds, Pick, Prediction 11/25/21

The 2021-22 NBA season continues Friday, November 26, with a loaded 12-game card, so we’re taking a closer look at the interconference showdown from Ball Arena in Denver to get you the best Bucks vs. Nuggets betting pick and odds.&nbsp;



The reigning champs head to Colorado as small favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, searching for their second straight road victory over Denver. Last season, these two foes split a two-game series, as each team emerged victorious on the road, while the Nuggets are 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS in their last ten meetings with the Bucks.



<h2>Milwaukee eyes its sixth straight W   </h2>



The Milwaukee Bucks have won five straight contests since Khris Middleton’s return from a COVID-19 list. The reigning champions improved to 11-8 SU and 8-11 ATS on the season following a 114-93 thrashing of the hapless Detroit Pistons this past Wednesday.



Middleton posted a line of 11 points, nine rebounds, and four assists, while Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 33 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the field and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line. The Bucks dominated Detroit from start to finish and held their rivals to only 35.8% shooting from the field and 24.4% from beyond the arc.



Milwaukee is still missing Brook Lopez (back) and Donte DiVincenzo (foot), so Antetokounmpo and Middleton will continue to carry the Bucks’ offense that is tallying 108.7 points per 100 possessions (15th in the NBA). The Bucks still have room for improvement on both sides of the ball, as they surrender 106.1 points per 100 possessions (8th).



<h2>Denver desperately needs Nikola Jokic back  </h2>



The Denver Nuggets fell to 9-9 SU and 7-11 ATS on the season following a 119-100 defeat at the Portland Trail Blazers this past Tuesday. They missed Nikola Jokic for the third straight outing, and the Nuggets can wait for their best player to return from a wrist injury.



Denver is 0-5 SU and ATS over its last five outings. During that span, the Nuggets’ offense has averaged only 99.0 points on 43.0% shooting from the field. Denver is without Jamal Murray (knee) and Michael Porter Jr. (back), so Jokic’s eventual return Friday would be a massive boost for their offense.



The Joker, who’s listed as questionable for the Bucks game, is posting 26.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 6.4 assists a night while making 59.3% of his field goals and 41.0% of his 3-pointers. The Nuggets tally 106.8 points per 100 possessions (tied-20th in the NBA) and surrender 107.0 in a return (14th).



Trends:



Milwaukee:



<ul><li>13-8 ATS in the last 21 outings as favorites</li></ul>



Denver:



<ul><li>0-5 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five outings as underdogs</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-milwaukee-bucks-vs-denver-nuggets-pick">Milwaukee Bucks vs. Denver Nuggets Pick</h2>



The slumping Nuggets will stand a chance if Nikola Jokic suits up, but I’m going with the Bucks either way. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been unstoppable as of late, averaging 27.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists over his previous nine appearances, and the Nuggets will struggle to cope with the Greek Freak in the paint.



Both teams defend the 3-point line well, but the Nuggets shoot only 32.3% from deep (26th in the NBA). On the other side, the Bucks are making 36.2% of their triples (8th).



Pick: Take Milwaukee Bucks&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The under is 13-3 in the Bucks’ last 16 outings at any location, and it is 5-0 in their previous five encounters with the Western Conference. On the other side, the over is 5-1 in the Nuggets’ previous six games overall, while the under has hit in 11 of their last 18 showings at any location.



The Nuggets are registering only 95.9 possessions per 100 possessions, playing at the second-slowest pace in the NBA. They will try everything they can to slow down the Bucks, who average 99.7 possessions per 48 minutes, so give me the under on the totals.&nbsp;



Pick: Go under

UT Arlington Mavericks vs Murray State Racers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/26/24

We have only nine games on the MLB schedule for Monday, August 22, but one of them is extremely attractive, so make sure you don’t miss a thing and get the best Mets vs. Yankees betting pick and odds.



The Mets and the Yankees will play the first of a two-game series at Yankee Stadium, and the Mets are -165 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 7 runs. These city and interleague foes have met twice this season, and the Mets won both duels at Citi Field.



Mets edged the Phillies to win the series



The New York Mets won three of four games against the Philadelphia Phillies, which is the second time in a week they won the series over Philly. The Mets fortified the leading spot in the NL East with four wins ahead of the Atlanta Braves and are still in the race for the top of the NL. The Dodgers are in a pole position at the moment, but that could change in the next month.



Nate Fisher, a rookie pitcher who had his debut in a 10-9 victory over the Phillies, was the highlight of this game. He was working in the Ohio bank a year ago, and now he pitched three scoreless innings, allowing only one hit in a relief appearance. Jose Butto, another rookie debutant, started the tilt but was torched by the Phillies for seven runs on nine hits with five strikeouts and two walks across 4.0 innings. Mark Canha was outstanding on offense with two homers and five RBIs. He scored a two-run homer in the 9th to give the Mets a lead.



Max Scherzer (9-2) will take the mound for the 18th time this year when he faces the Yankees on Monday. The 38-year-old righty owns a stellar 2.15 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 134/20 K/BB ratio over 109.0 innings of work.



Yankees avoided being swept by the Blue Jays



The New York Yankees will want to forget August after some terrible performances this month. They are in the worst form since the start of the season, losing 14 of the last 18 games. The Yankees are not in jeopardy of losing the top spot in the division, but the Houston Astros are now leading the AL and it seems that they will remain at the top.



The Yankees managed to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 in the final of a four-game series at home and avoid the series sweep after losing the first three duels. The Yankees scored miserable four runs in those three defeats and it’s clear that their offense is not working at the moment. Nestor Cortes had another quality start as he surrendered only a run on three hits with five strikeouts and a walk in 6.0 innings. Lou Trivino was credited with the win, his second of the year. Andrew Benintendi blasted a two-run homer in the 7th to give the Yankees a 4-2 lead, which they kept for the remainder of the game.



Domingo German (1-2) is starting for the Yankees on Monday – it will be his 7th start of the year. The 30-year-old right-hander has a 4.45 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and a 23/9 K/BB ratio over 28.1 innings.



Trends:



Mets:



<ul><li>4-0 in the last four road games vs. a right-handed starter</li><li>4-1 in the last five interleague games</li><li>8-1 in the last nine Monday games</li></ul>



Yankees:



<ul><li>1-4 in the last five vs. National League East opponents</li><li>0-5 in the last five games following a win</li><li>0-6 in the last 6 interleague games</li></ul>



New York Mets vs. New York Yankees Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;



Scherzer allowed a season-high four earned runs in his latest start against Atlanta and will be desperate to bounce back in this city derby. Luckily for him, he is facing the Yankees’ disappointing offense that is not batting well right now, and he already dominated them in seven shutout innings a month ago. German did allow a couple of runs across 4.2 innings in his previous start against the Mets, and the Mets offense doesn’t have problems at-bat, so I am backing the visitors to take this one without much trouble.



Pick: Take the Mets -1.5 Run Line at +105



The Total



Another strong display from Scherzer is on the cards here as he should easily last six or seven innings. He allows a .212 batting average to the Yankees’ batters throughout his career with only five home runs in 212 at-bats. Domingo German is not bad at all against the Mets as well, he is .195 AB against them. That said, I don’t expect to see a high-scoring affair on Monday. The Yankees are losing a lot of games lately, but most of them were low-scoring. Under is 9-2-1 in the Yankees’ last 12 overall.Pick: Go Under 7 runs at +100

The NFL betting action continues with three games on Thanksgiving, including the interconference showdown at AT&amp;T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, so we have prepared the best Raiders vs. Cowboys betting pick along with the latest odds update.&nbsp;



According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, Dallas is a firm 7-point home fave with a total of 50.5 points, while Las Vegas sits at +270 moneyline odds. These two foes meet for the first time since 2017, and the Raiders are winless in three straight encounters with the Cowboys.



<h2 id="h-the-raiders-are-falling-apart">The Raiders are falling apart</h2>



The Las Vegas Raiders (5-5; 4-6 ATS) are on a three-game losing streak following a 32-13 home defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. It was another lousy performance by the Raiders, who lost to Kansas City 41-14 in Week 10.



Las Vegas racked up only 278 total yards and 13 1st downs last weekend. The Raiders allowed 16 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, while their run D struggled all day long, surrendering 159 yards on 38 rushing attempts.



Josh Jacobs had another quiet day in the office, tallying nine carries for 37 yards and five catches for 24 yards. He hasn’t scored in the last three weeks, while Derek Carr has recorded four TD passes and four interceptions over the previous three contests.



<h2>The Cowboys laid the egg at Arrowhead Stadium&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



The Dallas Cowboys (7-3; 8-2 ATS) are coming off a 19-9 defeat at the Kansas City Chiefs this past Sunday. It was their second loss in the last three outings, and the Cowboys fail to cover a 2.5-point spread at Arrowhead Stadium.



Dallas’ offense struggled mightily against the Chiefs, racking up only 276 total yards and failing to score a TD. Dak Prescott went 28-of-43 for 216 yards and a couple of interceptions, while the Cowboys ran only 16 times for 82 yards.



Dallas is fifth in the league in rushing yards per game (133.8) and third in points scored per contest (29.3). However, the Cowboys have scored only 98 points over their previous four games overall, and Prescott has registered seven TD passes and four picks during that stretch. WR Amari Cooper is on the COVID-19 list and will miss Thursday’s game against Las Vegas, while WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is doubtful to play.



Trends:



Las Vegas:



<ul><li>2-6 ATS in the last eight games overall</li><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven games on the road</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games against the NFC&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



Dallas:



<ul><li>8-2 ATS in the last ten games overall</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games at home</li></ul>



<h2>Las Vegas Raiders vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick</h2>



The Raiders are in a must-win situation, but beating the Cowboys on the road on Thanksgiving seems like a tall order. Las Vegas’ defense has been awful as of late, while Dallas’ offense will look to break out of its funk, so I’m backing the hosts to win and cover.



Anyway, I don’t feel comfortable with a 7-point spread, so betting on the totals might be a better move in this matchup. Both teams should be able to move the ball frequently, though the Cowboys’ defense could be an X-factor. Dallas is yielding 21.4 points per game (8th in the NFL), while Las Vegas is giving up 26.2 (25th).



Pick: Take Dallas Cowboys -7.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The Raiders’ run D ranks 29th in the NFL, surrendering 132.1 rushing yards per game, so I’m expecting the Cowboys to roll over their rivals. Dallas’ ground game has been a dominant force all season long, so the visitors will have a mountain to climb on Thanksgiving.



On the other side, the Cowboys are yielding 251.9 passing yards per game (20th in the NFL). Their passing defense is a problem, and the Raiders should have enough firepower to take advantage of the Cowboys’ flaws. Hereof, my best Raiders vs. Cowboys betting pick is the over on the totals.



Pick: Go over 50.5 points at -110

The NHL betting action continues with a two-game Friday night’s card, so we’re taking a closer look at the Western Conference battle at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle to get you the best Avalanche vs. Kraken betting pick, tips, and odds.



Colorado meets Seattle for the first time, and the Avs are listed as -150 road favorites to win straight up. The Kraken are +136 moneyline underdogs, while the totals sit at 6.5 goals on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>.



<h2>The Avalanche search for their fourth consecutive victory </h2>



The Colorado Avalanche (7-5-1) are riding a three-game winning streak following a 4-2 victory at the Vancouver Canucks this past Wednesday. After smashing Vancouver 7-1 at home last week, the Avs overcame a 2-1 deficit in Canada, tallying three unanswered goals in the 3rd period.



Colorado converted three of its five power-play opportunities at Vancouver. Center Nazem Kadri led the way with one goal and a couple of dishes, while Darcy Kuemper had a good night between the pipes, allowing just two goals on 34 shots.



Kuemper, who’s been one of the best goaltenders in the league in the last few years, is now 7-4-0 with a 2.56 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 2021-22. The Avs are yielding 3.15 goals per game (24th in the NHL) while scoring 3.54 in a return (3rd) on an 11.0 shooting percentage (4th).



<h2>The Kraken hope to avoid their sixth straight defeat    </h2>



The Seattle Kraken (4-11-1) have been terrible as of late, winning only one of their previous eight games at any location. The newcomers are on a five-game losing streak following a 4-2 home defeat to the Chicago Blackhawks this past Wednesday.



Seattle took 14 shots more than Chicago (33-19) but couldn’t find the back of the net for nearly 55 minutes. The Kraken bagged a couple of goals late in the game to make it interesting to watch, while Philipp Grubauer finished with 15 stops and a .833 save percentage.



Grubauer has struggled for most of the season, posting a 4-8-1 record with a 3.18 GAA and a disappointing .877 save percentage. The Kraken are surrendering a whopping 3.69 goals per contest (31st in the NHL) while tallying 2.75 in a return (tied-20th) on a 9.4 shooting percentage (tied-17th).



Trends:



Colorado:



<ul><li>5-2 in the last seven games overall</li><li>5-0 in the last five games against the Western Conference</li><li>5-1 in the last six games against the Pacific Division</li></ul>



Seattle:



<ul><li>0-5 in the last five games overall</li><li>0-6 in the last six games against the Western Conference&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-colorado-avalanche-vs-seattle-kraken-pick">Colorado Avalanche vs. Seattle Kraken Pick</h2>



On paper, the Avs are a much better team than the Kraken, who’s having a rough time in their first NHL campaign. Seattle has struggled on both sides of the ice lately, while Colorado’s form is trending in the right direction, so give me the visitors at moneyline odds.



The Avalanche have won three of their previous four games away from home, including a shootout victory over the reigning NHL champs, the Tampa Bay Lightning. Colorado is slowly building up its form and shouldn’t have any problems outlasting the slumping Kraken.



Pick: Take Colorado Avalanche at -150&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



I would stay away from the totals because of that tricky 6.5-goal line. The Kraken has allowed four or more goals in five straight outings, but three of those five tilts have produced exactly six goals in total.



On the other side, the Avs have scored 17 goals in their last three showings while yielding five in a return. If Darcy Kuemper puts on another strong display between the pipes, I don’t think the Kraken and Avs will combine for seven or more goals.



Pick: Go under 6.5 goals at -118&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
