Texas A&M Aggies vs Auburn Tigers Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

It has been said by many of the "experts" that this is a "three-man NBA Draft." What that means is that there are three players who are head and shoulders above all others. The experts maybe know and maybe don't - many years ago I ran an NBA Draft website that got quite a bit of attention, particularly from player agents - and really, what the hell did I know?

At any rate, <a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/"><strong>BetOnline</strong> </a>has determined that there is indeed a "Big Three" because they are the only ones posted in their prop for the #1 pick.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are "on the clock," so to speak. What is unique about this draft is that there is no slam dunk #1, so we might not know until the announcement is actually made on Wednesday night.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>To Be 1st Overall Pick</strong></span></h3>
<h4><strong>Anthony Edwards -130</strong>
<strong>LaMelo Ball +100</strong>
<strong>James Wiseman +900</strong></h4>
I have kind of resigned myself to the idea that Anthony Edwards - the freshman out of Georgia - is going to be the #1 pick. And there are definitely some things in his favor. He can be that "combo" guard who comes in and can guard a couple of positions and maybe even a third, if and when this team goes small.

He can score in a variety of ways. And the scouts testify as to his physical strength, so that he can be assertive in terms of getting his shot.

There is little doubt in my mind that he can score 20 points a game in the NBA.

But let's go back to the part about him guarding multiple positions - which is very important when you have to deal with the pick-and-roll and other ways opponents make you switch in the NBA. That makes the assumption that he has an aptitude toward defense, and frankly, that's not an assumption that can't freely be made. Edwards is not known to be a defender, so there is going to be a big learning curve with that.

He is not a real good free throw shooter either, and that is going to be a handicap for him as he attempts to be primarily an offensive player in the NBA.

Here is another item that would worry me if I was a T-Wolves fan, and this is no small thing. In his only season at Georgia, he had nice numbers, tallying more than 19 points a game, but his team was not headed to the NCAA Tournament. In fact, at 16-16 and with a likely loss to Florida on deck in the SEC Tournament when everything got called off, the Bulldogs weren't likely to go to the NIT or the CBI either.

Now let me remind you that when these NBA teams take the floor, the idea, presumably, is to win. So you are drafting with that in mind, right? And ideally, the guy you make the #1 overall pick is hopefully going to be a transformative figure of sorts, correct? You would expect that someone who was good enough to be the top pick in the draft could have elevated his team at the college level to a winning record.

In Edwards' case, that didn't happen. And rightly or wrongly, it makes me think a little about Markeille Fultz, who led a sub-.500 team at Washington.

But the Wolves have a hole to fill at the "big guard" spot, and Edwards might be a nice addition to your fantasy team.

As for LaMelo Ball, well, he's got a suspect outside shot, which he shoots just like his brother Lonzo, so you'd have that to deal with. And while he has registered more than his share of steals, he is often caught looking on the defensive end.

And there's the matter of his father, who has proven a pain of the ass in the recent past.

What is the T-Wolves' priority? Is it to put together some team chemistry, or to be part of LaMelo's reality show (catch it on Facebook Watch)?

The tough thing about James Wiseman is that he had only three games of college basketball because of eligibility issues. Of course, that's three more than LaMelo has. But leave that aside for a minute.

From what I've seen of Wiseman, he is a very athletic seven-footer. And he may be in a position to contribute much sooner on the defensive end. He can even shoot a little. And I'm not sure that Karl-Anthony Towns wants to be restricted to playing center, so this may relieve him of that.

And having those two alongside each other would be awkward for many opponents to deal with. Sam Mitchell, a long-time fan favorite who has been both a player and a coach for the Minnesota franchise, is an advocate for drafting Wiseman, because it would force opposing teams to "play big" against them, and fewer and fewer teams are all that comfortable doing it. With Wiseman's ability to get up and down the floor, that is suddenly a matchup problem for any foe.

If Timberwolves' management is thinking in any way like Mitchell, you might stand a chance for a pretty good payoff on this prop.

Princeton Tigers vs Duquesne Dukes NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/8/24

We’ve got a lot of MMA action this week, but the signature event, as it is always is, will be a UFC card. The main event of UFC on ESPN 24 will feature women from the flyweight division, as Marina Rodriguez takes on Michelle Waterson.

TJ Dillashaw and Cory Sandhagen was set to be the main, but Dillashaw got hurt in training. The UFC Apex training facility will host this one, which means we have the smaller Octagon in play once again. We’re used to that by now, but it is a factor.

We’ll use the odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> to put together a comprehensive breakdown of the card and the 12 scheduled fights in hopes of finding some good wagers.
<h3><strong><u>Christian Aguilera (+135) vs. Carlston Harris (-155); Total: 1.5 (-165/135)</u></strong></h3>
The UFC debut for Guyanese fighter Carlston Harris starts us off for Saturday’s action. He is a -155 favorite against Christian Aguilera, who is 1-1 in the UFC to this point. Harris has fought in several different promotions, including Shooto and Brave, and it sure looks as though he heads into this one with the benefit of the doubt. He does seem to have more paths to victory, as Aguilera only really wins via knockout. A quick stoppage wouldn’t be a surprise here, so +135 may be the best look with an under 1.5 ticket.
<h3><strong><u>Jun</u></strong><strong><u> Yong Park</u></strong><strong><u> (+120) vs. Tafon Nchukwi (-140); Total: 2.5 (-130/100)</u></strong></h3>
It really didn’t take long for Cameroon middleweight Tafon Nchukwi to make his UFC debut. After three quick wins by knockout, Nchukwi got his opportunity on the Contender Series and won easily. For good measure, he beat Jamie Pickett by unanimous decision a little over three months later.

Now Nchukwi faces Jun Yong Park, a veteran of three UFC fights with a record of 2-1. The 30-year-old Park is a more experienced fighter and if Nchukwi cannot secure a knockout, the better Park’s chances are at a win. Nchukwi is the longer, lankier fighter, though. I do think a KO is very much in play one way or the other here and like the under 2.5 at +100.
<h3><strong><u>Zarrukh Adashev (+128) vs. Ryan Benoit (-148); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>
Zarrukh Adashev badly needs a win. The 28-year-old Uzbekistan native is 0-2 in UFC since signing his contract after a 3-0 run in Bellator. The same can be said of Ryan Benoit, a longtime UFC fixture that is 0-2 since returning from more than two years away. This is a short and sweet handicap in that neither fighter is worth your money. Both need the fight badly, so effort isn’t a question, but neither fighter is deserving of a dollar. Benoit’s striking power has not been there in his last two fights, so over 2.5, despite the heavy juice, is the best bet.
<h3><strong><u>Mike Trizano (+227) vs. Ludovit Klein (-267); Total: 2.5 (-115/-115)</u></strong></h3>
Ludovit Klein is the biggest favorite on the UFC Vegas 26 card. He’s won eight in a row, including a very impressive debut at UFC 253 against Shane Young with a first-round knockout from a huge head kick. The 26-year-old already has 19 fights to his name with eight knockout wins, eight submission wins, and a decision against just two losses.

This is a tough spot for Mike Trizano to return. The TUF 27 champion has not fought in nearly two years. He won TUF 27 at lightweight, but will fight again at featherweight for the second straight time. This is just a bad spot for him and we’ll look to pair with Klein with somebody else in a money line parlay.
<h3><strong><u>Phil Hawes (+108) vs. Kyle Daukaus (-128); Total: 2.5 (140/-170)</u></strong></h3>
Money has come in on Kyle Daukaus and the under for this fight against Phil Hawes. Daukaus, the former CFFC champion, lost for the first time ever against Brendan Allen, but was seconds away from a submission that might have won him the fight. He bounced back nicely to beat Dustin Stoltzfus at UFC 255.

Hawes is a nice prospect. He has three wins in UFC thus far and a tremendous wrestling background. Both guys are solid fighters, but the betting markets are speaking loud and clear about the side that they like in this one. This looks like one of the best fights on an otherwise weak card. I can’t argue with the Daukaus money here.
<h3><strong><u>Philippe Lins (-105) vs. Ben Rothwell (-115); Total: 2.5 (-175/145)</u></strong></h3>
The first of two heavyweight fights on the card has been a long time coming. This fight was supposed to take place in March, but Ben Rothwell was injured during training. We now have two guys off of lengthy layoffs, as the 35-year-old Philippe Lins has not fought since June and Rothwell since October.

Lins is 0-2 in UFC with losses to Andrei Arlovski and Tanner Boser exactly six weeks apart. The former PFL champ is actually just 4-4 over his last eight fights. Rothwell is 39 and has dropped three of his last five, but as Lins has faced better competition, he has struggled. Rothwell may just be getting old. He still should win this fight and the markets have swung a little in his direction.

<h3><strong><u>Angela Hill (+150) vs. Amanda Ribas (-175); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>
Amanda Ribas’s name should be in the bright lights of the main event, but her knockout loss to Marina Rodriguez back in January is the reason why she’s in the first fight on the main card against Angela Hill. It was a really big setback for Ribas, but at the same time, maybe one we should have seen coming. Her previous two fights were against Randa Markos and Paige VanZant, neither of whom should be in MMA any longer.

That was only the second loss for Ribas in her career, with the other against Polyana Viana in Jungle Fight. Both are by knockout. Angela Hill has five career knockouts in 22 fights and hasn’t had one in any of her last four fights, as she’s gone the distance in each one of them. She’s 2-2, with wins over Loma Lookboonmee and Ashley Yoder and losses to Michelle Waterson and Claudia Gadelha. I certainly put Ribas up there more with Waterson and not with the fighters Hill has beaten. Ribas is a good parlay piece to put with Ludovit Klein in an earlier fight.
<h4><strong>Pick: Amanda Ribas</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Diego Ferreira (+150) vs. Gregor Gillespie (-175); Total: 2.5 (-175/145)</u></strong></h3>
It has been quite a while since we’ve seen Gregor Gillespie. He went into his match against Kevin Lee with a perfect 13-0 record. He left 13-1. The Division I gold medal wrestler at Edinboro University is back in search of redemption. He’ll try to get it against Diego Ferreira, a fighter that recently had a winning streak of his own snapped by Beneil Dariush.

You can still see the respect that Gillespie gets in the markets, even with the long layoff. It doesn’t hurt that Ferreira returned from 13 months on the shelf on lost, but it was a split decision that could have gone either way. This looks like a closer fight than the line would indicate based on what both guys have done and their respective strengths and weaknesses, so the price is better on the taller and rangier Ferreira, though Gillespie probably does win.
<h4><strong>Pick: Diego Ferreira</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Maurice Greene (+170) vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima (-200); Total: 1.5 (110/-140)</u></strong></h3>
A quick finish is expected in the heavyweight battle between Maurice Greene and Marcos Rogerio de Lima. Greene stands 6-foot-7 and has a huge reach advantage here, but he’s had that in a lot of fights and is only 9-6 in his pro MMA career. That includes a couple of 2020 losses and defeats in three of his last four fights. The recent results haven’t been that great for de Lima either, who has dropped three of five.

Bigger fighters Alexandr Romanov and Stefan Struve have beaten de Lima recently by submission. Green has five submission wins to his name. It has actually been his preferred method of victory. I think there are a couple of ways you can look at this fight. The low total and under juice suggests a finish. Submissions aren’t really part of de Lima’s game. Greene by submission and de Lima by knockout create a decent little arbitrage play in the prop markets as those get posted and it keeps you from having to pick an outright winner in a fight that could probably go either way.
<h4><strong>Picks: Greene by Submission; de Lima by KO/TKO/DQ</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Neil Magny (+160) vs. Geoff Neal (-185); Total: 2.5 (-150/120)</u></strong></h3>
Neil Magny has gone the distance in each of his last four fights and looks to be on track for another one here against Geoff Neal. Magny, who typically fights a lot in a calendar year, did not fight at all in 2019, but made up for it with three wins in three fights in 2020. Then he started 2021 with a loss to Michael Chiesa in the 25-minute main event on January 20. Chiesa won 49-46 across the board in a fight that was pretty boring overall. Neither fighter landed 100 strikes and Chiesa kept Magny on the ground for a long time.

Neal is also coming off of a loss in a main event. He lost to Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson in his first fight in over a year. That one went 25 minutes and broke a string of KO victories for Neal. That was a much more active fight, as Thompson landed nearly 200 strikes and Neal got into the 100s. Thompson was far more aggressive in the fight.

Neal’s aggression should help here against Magny, who is not a high-output fighter. Neal’s takedown defense could be tested here, especially against the longer Magny, who has a big size and reach advantage in the small Octagon. It’s a tough fight to call.
<h4><strong>Pick: Geoff Neal</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Alex Morono (+145) vs. Donald Cerrone (-170); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>
Have we finally found somebody that Donald Cerrone can beat? The fan favorite known as Cowboy has lost five in a row. His loss to Niko Price was overturned and ruled a no contest because of a positive pot test for the winner. Cerrone is basically a celebrity at this point. He’s a guy used to put fighters over and to draw attention because he’ll be aggressive to the point of making himself vulnerable.

Everybody knows all of this, yet Cerrone is a -170 favorite here. It’s a wonder this fight wasn’t put on next week’s Texas card so that he could get the fans fired up once again. I don’t know how many fights are left for Cerrone, but I know what this one says about Alex Morono. Morono, who went 1-2 in 2020, must be a lamb led to slaughter here so that Cerrone can actually get a win and end his streak. Nothing about this fight sounds fun or interesting.
<h4><strong>Pick: Donald Cerrone</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Michelle Waterson (+178) vs. Marina Rodriguez (-208); Total: 4.5 (-210/170)</u></strong></h3>
Rumor has it that Dana White is trying to abolish the women’s flyweight division, as the talent pool has simply thinned out too much. For now, this is a flyweight main event between Michelle Waterson and Marina Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who rebounded from a draw against Cynthia Calvillo and a loss to Carla Esparza with a win over Amanda Ribas, is the big favorite in this fight.

She’s the bigger, longer fighter in the smaller cage. She’s never lost via stoppage. Waterson has four losses via stoppage. However, Waterson has gone the distance in each of her last seven fights. In other words, Waterson wins one way and that is by decision. Rodriguez could potentially win any number of ways. The decision to make here is Rodriguez -208 or over 4.5 at -210, just in case Waterson does enough to win. It would be a shocker if this doesn’t go the distance.
<h4><strong>Pick: Over 4.5</strong></h4>
