Daily Sports Roundup

Saturday, November 28

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Gators take on the Seminoles, the Horned Frogs try to leap over the Lobos, and the Warriors play host to the Lakers.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

Top-ranked Florida will meet Florida State on Saturday afternoon in a battle of state rivals. The Gators (11-0 SU, 4-5-1 ATS) pounded Florida International last time out, getting 215 yards and two TD strikes from Tim Tebow in a 62-3 victory. Tebow also rushed for 102 yards and a score in that win, and he'll be playing his last home game on Saturday. The Seminoles (6-5 SU, 3-7 ATS) beat Maryland 29-26 in their last game, but they're pegged as big 24.5-point 'dogs for Saturday.

Unbeaten TCU is also a big favorite on Saturday, as they're giving 44.5 points to New Mexico. The No. 4 Horned Frogs (11-0 SU, 8-2 ATS) had no trouble with Wyoming last time out, rolling to a 45-10 road victory. Andy Dalton threw for 168 yards and a touchdown for TCU in that win, while Matthew Tucker ran for 134 yards and a pair of scores. The Lobos (1-10 SU, 4-7 ATS) finally picked up a victory last week, snapping a 14-game skid with a 29-27 win over Colorado State.

No. 18 BYU is a 7.5-point home favorite against No. 22 Utah in Saturday's lone ranked matchup, while No. 7 Georgia Tech is giving 7.5 points to Georgia. As well, it's No. 11 Oklahoma State at Oklahoma (-8), No. 14 Virginia Tech (-16) at Virginia, No. 15 Clemson (-3) at South Carolina, Arkansas at No. 17 LSU (-3.5), and No. 19 Miami (-7) at South Florida. As well, No. 24 USC (-13) hosts UCLA.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

There are just five games on the NBA's schedule for Saturday, with Charlotte at Washington, Dallas at Cleveland, Orlando at Milwaukee, Portland at Utah, and the Lakers at Golden State. Los Angeles last played on Tuesday night, cruising to a 100-90 home win over New York. Kobe Bryant poured in 34 points in that win, and Ron Artest added 17 points. Golden State fell 118-104 to San Antonio in their last game on Wednesday, with Monta Ellis scoring 42 points in that defeat.

The Legends Classic, Chicago Challenge, and Las Vegas Invite all continue in college hoops action on Saturday, while No. 4 Villanova plays host to La Salle. The ranked Wildcats have started the season 5-0 (3-1 ATS), and they're coming off a 79-67 win over Mississippi in the championship game of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Scottie Reynolds tossed in 21 points in that win. The Explorers (3-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) beat Tulane 61-59 last game, with Kimmani Barrett scoring 14 points.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, there are 13 games on the NHL's Saturday slate, with the Islanders at New Jersey, Ottawa at Boston, Philadelphia at Atlanta, Calgary at Columbus, Carolina at Buffalo, the Rangers at Pittsburgh, Detroit at St. Louis, Florida at Nashville, Tampa Bay at Dallas, Minnesota at Colorado, Edmonton at Vancouver, Chicago at Los Angeles, and Washington at Montreal. The Capitals blanked Buffalo 2-0 in their last game on Wednesday, with Semyon Varlamov picking up the shutout. The Habs fell 3-1 in Pittsburgh in their Wednesday outing.

Bettor's best friend: Today's helpful tips

Saturday, November 28

Back-to-back

If there is one thing the Washington Wizards aren’t big fans of, it’s back-to-back games. Playing Friday night, the Wiz then turn around and host Charlotte Saturday. The three times the Wizards have played on consecutive days, the squad is just 1-2 SU and 1-2 ATS with the lone win coming in a 123-104 win over the winless Nets. Washington is averaging a meager 86.5 points per game in the second half of its other back-to-back games and should see a similar drop-off against the Bobcats. Meantime, the Bobcats are second in average points allowed (88.9) and fourth in field goal percentage (43.6).

Road Woe-iors

The Los Angeles Lakers have played 14 games this season, but an NBA-low three on the road, going just 2-1 SU and a pathetic 0-3 ATS in games against Houston, Oklahoma City and Denver, with both wins coming by only a basket in overtime. On Saturday, Showtime visits Golden State, which itself has played only four home games, but is 3-1 ATS in those contests. No line has been posted yet for this game.

Getting Wild

The Minnesota Wild might have found a new scoring threat. The team has a mediocre 60 total goals this season, and just put forward Martin Havlat on the disabled list. Havlat has a horrendous two goals and six assists through 19 games. But on Friday, Chuck Kobasew netted his second career hat trick against the Avalanche to lead his team to a 5-3 win. The team’s rematch again on Saturday in Colorado, and expect the Avalanche killer to get plenty of ice time in the Mile High City. Minnesota is listed at +155 with a total of 5.5.

House of Blues

Remember when Detroit used to own the Blues? Not any more. St. Louis has taken both meetings with the Red Wings this season and has won three of its past four games overall. Meantime, the Red Wings are just 4-10 in their past 14 road games and are reeling from various injuries that have depleted their depth and led to them dropping four of their past five overall. St. Louis also has yielded just 57 goals this year and is playing some of the most disciplined hockey in the league. The Blues are listed at -102 with a total of 5.5.

Rams not so tough

St. Louis running back Steven Jackson missed his third straight day of practice on Friday, making him questionable for Sunday’s game against Seattle. He would be a critical loss for an offense that already will be without quarterback Marc Bulger and tackle Jason Smith. The Rams have scored more than 13 points just four times this year and were shutout, 28-0, against Seattle earlier this year. St. Louis is listed at +3.5 with a total of 42.

AP nursing an ankle

Vikings stud running back Adrian Peterson is questionable for the team’s game against the Bears on Sunday. Peterson has been nursing an ankle injury that limited him in practice earlier this week and, combined with an illness, missed practice on Friday. Peterson has yet to miss time for the Vikings, and if he is sidelined, backup Chester Taylor will get the majority of the team’s carries. Minnesota is listed at -10.5 with a total of 47 points.

Boomer Sooner

So how are the No. 12 Oklahoma State Cowboys still more than a touchdown underdog to the in-state rival Sooners? Just look at recent history. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the past 11 meetings, but more important, Oklahoma has covered the spread in four straight and five of their past six clashes. The Sooners also are a perfect 5-0 at home this season, averaging nearly 50 points per game in those victories. Oklahoma is listed at -7.5 with a total of 49 points.

Saturday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports-filled Black Friday

13) Very bad week to be Director of Security at the White House, now that word (and picture) is out that the nitwits who crashed state dinner during the week actually got to meet Presdient Obama. Whoops.

12) Houston Rockets' GM Daryl Morey says Michigan's John Beilien is the best college basketball coach in America.

11) Finals of the two big 8-team tournaments are set: West Virginia will play upstart Portland Sunday night in Anaheim, after Florida State and surprising Marquette play for the Old Spice title at Disney World.

10) Huge month for the WCC so far; Gonzaga won in Maui, San Diego is doing great up in Alaska, Portland is in the Anaheim final; St Mary's also has a strong team. Going to be tough league this winter.

9) Portland has never been ranked in top 25 in coaches' poll; last time they were ranked in AP poll was 1957. Wow. This is a sold team that is cohesive with good shooters up and down the lineup.

8) Illinois led Utah 32-16 at the half in Vegas, lost 60-58, a bad loss for the Illini, since Utes had just lost at home to Seattle.

7) Michigan State lost 77-74 to Florida in Atlantic City, turning ball over 23 times in a 71-possession game. Lot of points for Spartans to score in a game where they had 23 possessions without trying a shot.

6) UConn-Duke have met nine times, every time on a neutral court; with their win Friday, Blue Devils now lead series 5-4.

5) Denver Nuggets played Knicks-TWolves-Nets this week, so George Karl had a lot to be thankful for-- three wins.

4) Nets are 0-16, Minnesota lost its last 15 games. Salary cap or no, the stupid teams will still lose, no matter what the sport.

3) Jim Fassel's Las Vegas team upset previously unbeaten Florida in the first UFL Championship game, played oddly enough in Vegas. Have to think they need to play the championship on field of higher seeded club.

2) High drama at 2:10 am here in the east, as Butler sank couple of free throws with 0:00.6 left, giving them a 69-67 win over skidding UCLA, which played 100 times better than it did Thursday against Portland.

1) I'm now convinced Thanksgiving weekend is the second best sports weekend of the year, behind the first weekend of the college basketball tournament. If you don't like college hoop, this weekend is best, by far.

Pick ‘n’ Roll: Today's best NBA bets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dallas Mavericks at Cleveland Cavaliers (-7.5, 196)

This will be a clash of the titans Saturday night. These two conference powers are both an NBA-best 8-2 in their past 10 games and are leading their respective divisions.

Cleveland, however, has owned the Mavericks the past season-plus. The Cavaliers are 7-2 ATS in the team’s past nine meetings, including three consecutive straight-up wins in their past three meetings. But Cleveland’s hot streak has coincided with an injury to center Shaquille O’Neal, which has enabled the team to play small ball and run an up-tempo attack.

The Diesel figures to return in time for this matchup, meaning the team will likely slow the pace and play into the hands of a deep Dallas team that is starting to gel and loves to push the action with dynamic point guard Jason Kidd.

Quicken Loans Arena is no longer a place where road teams go to get a beat down.

Pick: Mavericks +7.5


Orlando Magic at Milwaukee Bucks (+6, 193)

The Bucks are finding out what an amazing difference an All-Star caliber guard can make with stud rookie Brandon Jennings.

Milwaukee is a surprising 8-5 overall and an impressive 6-1 at home, posting a scoring margin of plus-3.3, the fifth-best mark in the Eastern Conference. In their past nine home games, the Bucks are 7-2 ATS.

Meantime, the Magic are coming off a convincing, 93-76 win over the Hawks in Atlanta, a big win against one of top teams in the East. But Orlando still is without injured guard Jameer Nelson, and the Bucks should be able to take advantage with Jennings’s athleticism. Charlie Bell also should matchup nicely with his length against the athletic Vince Carter.

Pick: Bucks +6

Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ottawa Senators at Boston Bruins (-135, 5)

Something is brewing in Boston.

The team learned Friday it would be without left wing Milan Lucic for up to four weeks with an ankle injury. Lucic missed much of the first quarter of the season with a broken finger. The team rallied for a 2-1 win over New Jersey without him Friday, but his replacement, Vladimir Sobotka, was minus-1 in limited action.

The Bruins were 5-5-4 without him in the lineup, but were 4-0 in his four games back before his latest injury. In those four games, Lucic scored both of his goals this season.

Lucic’s injury also is a huge blow to the team’s offense, as the Bruins have scored a pathetic 60 goals so far this season. Good luck against Ottawa’s defense, which has allowed only 66 goals this year.

Pick: Ottawa +125


Carolina Hurricanes at Buffalo Sabres (-220, 5.5)

How are the Hurricanes going to score on the stingy Buffalo Sabres and stud goalie Ryan Miller? Good question.

Carolina has scored a pathetic 55 goals this season and has netted only two goals total in the past two games. The team’s power play also is a operating at a woeful 14 percent, one of the worst marks in the league.

Meantime, the Sabres have allowed just 54 goals this year, the second-lowest total in the NHL. However, the team has struggled to score goals, netting only 58 through 22 games.

Expect to see lots of back-checking, players diving in front of shots and plenty of bored goal judges.

Pick: Under 5.5

What Bettors Need to Know: Hockey Night in Canada
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington Capitals at Montreal Canadiens (+130, 5.5)

The basics

The Washington Capitals play the Montreal Canadiens Saturday in a rematch of a November 20 game where the Canadiens narrowly escaped the Verizon Center with a 3-2 victory.

The Capitals are 14-5-6 and snapped a three game losing streak with a victory over the Sabres Wednesday.

Montreal is 12-12-1 and had earned a point in four consecutive games (3-0-1) before a loss to the Penguins Wednesday.

Missing in action

Both the Capitals and Canadiens are missing key players from their lineups.

Alex Semin and Mike Knuble are just two of six players Washington is missing from its opening night roster.

Montreal is missing eight players due to injury. The total salary-cap hit for players out of the Canadiens lineup is $30 million. Scott Gomez, Brian Gionta, and Andrei Markov headline those players not in uniform for the Habs.

Play for the tie?

Washington has gone under the total in three of its last four games, largely due to the play of Semyon Varlamov (4-0-2 in his last six games with a 1.48 goals against average and .949 save percentage).

According to Varlamov, he has “gotten over being nervous”.

With so many offensive players on the shelf for Montreal, Jacques Martin’s strategy in recent games is to keep the score at 0-0 for as long as possible and hope for a break.

Eight of Montreal’s last 10 games have gone under the total.

Ovechkin “struggling”?

Alex Ovechkin had been “struggling” since his return from a shoulder injury, with two goals, one assist and only fifteen shots in four games. But he played well in a win over the Sabres Wednesday.

"He had four legitimate chances to score goals. Maybe with another goalie, he would have put [another one] in, said coach Bruce Boudreau. He was playing really good and responsible and he was moving his legs.”

Ovechkin has 10 goals and 10 assists in 17 career games against the Canadiens.



Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks (-230, 5.5)

The basics

The late HNIC game features a Northwest Division rivalry game between two teams that appear to be headed in different directions.

The Edmonton Oilers are 10-12-3, and have won only four of their last sixteen games.

The Vancouver Canucks are 13-11-0 and have won three of their last four.

Injuries + Flu = 146

Edmonton has lost a league-leading 146 man games due to injury or sickness, most recently losing forward Ales Hemsky for an undetermined period of time.

"You lose him and it hurts the team because he's our best player,” said forward Andrew Cogliano of Hemsky.

Other Notable absences include goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin, defenceman Denis Grebeshkov and forward Mike Comrie.

Vancouver is finally healthy as Daniel Sedin and Roberto Luongo have both returned from injury.

Luongo vs. ?

With Nikolai Khabibulin day-to-day and Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers starting Friday, it’s anyone’s guess whether Khabibulin, Drouin-Deslauriers or prospect Devan Dubnyk will start for the Oilers Saturday.

Roberto Luongo called his win over Los Angeles Thursday his best game of the year.

"I'm seeing the puck well and this is something to build off of," Luongo said. "It's nice to get in a rhythm and play a lot of games.

Goals, anyone?

Edmonton has gone under the total in its last five of seven and will be missing its best offensive player. The under is also 4-0 in Edmonton’s last four when playing the second game of a back to back.

Vancouver has yet to give up three goals since a 6-1 defeat to the Blues on November 10. The under is 4-1 in Vancouver’s last four home games.

With Hemsky and Mike Comrie out of the lineup and Roberto Luongo in top form, goals may be difficult to come by.
