Daily Sports Roundup

Saturday, December 19

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Bowl season gets underway in the college ranks, while the perfect Saints host the 'Boys, and the Blazers take on the Magic.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The NFL offers up a Saturday night game this week, with Dallas at New Orleans. The Cowboys (8-5 SU, 6-7 ATS) are on a two-game losing skid, falling 20-17 to the Chargers last Sunday. The Saints (13-0 SU, 8-5 ATS) kept their perfect record intact last week with a 26-23 win in Atlanta on a Garrett Hartley field goal. The oddsmakers have sided with the Saints at the Superdome on Saturday night, pegging them as 7.5-point favorites. The total for the matchup sits at 53.5 points.

As well, bowl season gets underway on Saturday with two games on the schedule. First it'll be Fresno State (8-4 SU, 6-4-1 ATS) vs. Wyoming (6-6 SU, 8-3 ATS) in the New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque, with Fresno State set as the 10.5-point favorite and the total at 55 points. Then it's Central Florida (8-4 SU, 9-2 ATS) vs. Rutgers (8-4 SU, 5-5 ATS) in the St. Petersburg Bowl, with Rutgers favored by 2.5 points and the total at 44. UCF is riding a three-game win streak.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA has nine games on tap for Saturday, including Portland at Orlando. The Trail Blazers (16-11 SU, 13-13-1 ATS) pulled out a 105-102 home win over Phoenix in their last game on Thursday night. Jerryd Bayless led the way with 29 points off the bench for Portland in that win. The Magic (19-7 SU, 14-11-1 ATS) lost 104-86 on the road to rival Miami on Thursday night. Dwight Howard picked up 17 points and 14 rebounds in that loss, and J.J. Redick contributed 13 points.

Rounding out the NBA's Saturday schedule: Utah at Charlotte, the Clippers at Philadelphia, Atlanta at Chicago, Oklahoma City at Houston, Sacramento at Milwaukee, Indiana at San Antonio, Washington at Phoenix, and the Lakers at New Jersey in the mismatch of the day. Los Angeles (20-4 SU, 10-14 ATS) edged the Bucks in Milwaukee 107-106 in overtime in their last game on Wednesday night. Kobe Bryant exploded for 39 points for the Lakers in that win.

On the college hardwood top-ranked Kansas (9-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) will try to run their winning streak to 10 games when they host Michigan (5-4 SU, 1-5 ATS). As well, No. 2 Texas (9-0 SU, 6-1 ATS) will also put their unbeaten record on the line on Saturday when they host No. 10 North Carolina (8-2 SU, 3-4 ATS), while No. 7 Duke (8-1 SU, 5-3 ATS) will battle No. 15 Gonzaga (8-2 SU, 4-3 ATS). Other games involving Top-10 teams: No. 6 West Virginia at Cleveland State, No. 8 Villanova at Fordham, Ball State at No. 4 Purdue, Austin Peay at No. 3 Kentucky, No. 9 Tennessee at USC, and then St. Bonaventure at No. 5 Syracuse.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, there are dozen NHL games on the schedule for Saturday, including a matinee matchup between the Rangers and Flyers in Philadelphia. New York thumped the rival Islanders 5-2 in their last game on Thursday night to improve to 15-16-3 on the season. Ryan Callahan had two goals and two assists in that contest. The 15-6-2 Flyers fell 3-2 in a shootout to the Penguins in their game on Thursday night. Jeff Carter and Claude Giroux both scored for Philly that defeat.

Also on the ice on Saturday: Detroit at Dallas, Nashville at Calgary, Phoenix at Anaheim, Pittsburgh at Buffalo, Boston at Toronto, Minnesota at Ottawa, Montreal at the Islanders, Florida at Carolina, New Jersey at Atlanta, Columbus at Colorado, and Washington at Edmonton. The Oilers will be looking to put an end to a two-game losing streak when they play host to Alexander Ovechkin and the Caps late Saturday. Edmonton fell 6-3 to Nashville in their Thursday contest.

Bettor's best friend: Today's helpful tips

Saturday, December 19

Broken Wing

Detroit will be without its leading scorer, Henrik Zetterberg, for the next two weeks after separating his shoulder in Thursday’s game against Tampa Bay.

The defending Stanley Cup champs are holding down the eighth spot in the Western Conference with 41 points behind Zetterberg’s 10 goals and 22 assists.

The Red Wings have won four straight, scoring three goals in each, but expect the offense to take a hit without "Z" in the lineup.

Detroit is 13-6-3 in its last 22 meetings against Dallas. The Stars are listed as -140 favorites with a total of 5.5.

Blazers blazing

Portland may have discovered a way to remedy injuries to Greg Oden, Rudy Fernandez and Travis Outlaw – play at a blazing speed with a small lineup.

The Blazers have won two in a row and were powered in Thursday’s win over the Suns by a career performance from Jerryd Bayless who dropped in 29 points in 29 minutes off the bench.

In Portland’s last five games, the team is 3-2 and averaging 100.4 ppg, but in the five outings prior went 1-4 while averaging 92.4 ppg.

The over has cashed in two straight in this series and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings when Orlando is the favorite.

Oddsmakers installed the Magic as 9-point favorites on Saturday with a total of 194.

Knights of the down table

Rutgers could be without two key players when they face Central Florida in the St. Petersburg Bowl on Saturday.

Stud wide receiver Tim Brown is questionable with a lingering ankle injury. He has not missed a game this season because of the setback, but was limited in the team’s season finale. Brown led the Scarlet Knights' receiving corps this season with 51 catches for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns.

Starting defensive lineman Justin Francis is also questionable for the game with a leg injury. Francis did not play in Rutgers’ last game and has totaled 12 tackles, 5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks in 11 games this season.

Rutgers is listed as a 2.5-point favorite over the Golden Knights with a total of 44. Central Florida is 9-2 ATS this season but 2-10-1 ATS in its last 13 games versus the Big East.

Good morning Morningstar!

Brady Morningstar will return to the Kansas Jayhawks lineup after serving a semester suspension for a DUI he was cited for during the offseason.

Morningstar will most likely play in a reserve role this season after starting for Bill Self’s squad last year. Freshman phenom Xavier Henry also plays the wing and will most likely consume the majority of the minutes at the position.

Morningstar logged 30.4 minutes a game last season while averaging 6.5 ppg and 2.6 apg. Henry is averaging 18.0 ppg in nine games this year.

The No. 1-ranked Jayhawks find themselves labeled as 19-point favorites over the visiting Michigan Wolverines on Saturday with a total of 140. Kansas is 0-8 ATS in its last eight meetings against the Big Ten.

Notable quotable

"It was a lesson learned and I'll move on from it. Don't Tweet when you're in the arena. I won't do that anymore. That's a lot of money, especially around Christmas time. You do a lot of shopping for the family. It doesn't look like I'll be able to do that this year. Looks like no Gucci and Louie for Xmas. I may just have to give out a bunch of Under Armour gear."

-- Bucks rookie Brandon Jennings on being fined $7,500 by the NBA for Tweeting on his Twitter account inside the 45-minute window after the Bucks lost to Portland in overtime last weekend.

Six-pack for Saturday

Some NFL trends to ponder for Week 15.......

-- Buffalo covered twice in its last eleven home games.

-- Chargers won their last 16 December games.

-- Rams covered 8 of last 27 home games.

-- Raiders covered five of last seven as double digit underdog.

-- Chiefs lost SU the last five times they were favored.

-- 49ers are 8-1-1 vs spread in last ten games as an underdog.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday's List of 13: What I'm looking for this weekend.......

13) North Carolina-Texas is Jerry World's first basketball game; Tar Heels are a 7-point underdog. What will the shooting background be like in such a big arena?

12) Have to go out in wintry weather to watch Saints-Cowboys, because the greedy bastards who run the NFL and Time-Warner have conspired to keep this fine TV channel out of my house. Damn them.

11) First three bowl games this weekend; two of the three are in domes and the third one is in Albuquerque, which is a tough name to type. You look at Wyoming's stats and think, "How the hell is this team in a bowl?" then you realize its the New Mexico Bowl, so things make a little more sense.

10) Cardinals/49ers both head east of the Mississippi after Monday night game, traditionally a tough spot. At least Arizona gets to play indoors and against the Lions, but they need to win still.

9) Chiefs are blacked out at home for first time since 1990; they're 1-6 at home, losing to Oakland/Buffalo, now Cleveland visits. They need a win.

8) Randy Moss' effort, or lack thereof, will be in the spotlight at Buffalo. Look for Brady to feed him the ball early and often.

7) Bucs-Seahawks came into the NFL together back in 1976; their starting QBs that year were Steve Spurrier and Jim Zorn. Seattle was a better team off the bat, but Bucs have won a Super Bowl while Seahawks lost one.

6) Can Vince Young last 60:00 against Miami? Titans will need him to be effective; last week, Dan Pastorini could have played for Titans and they would have crushed the Rams anyway. Not this week.

5) Very sad week for the Bengals, who lost teammate Chris Henry, couple months after DC Mike Zimmer lost his wife suddenly. Life is short.

4) Will the Vikings look Favrelous in Charlotte Sunday night? Their place as the #2 seed in NFC looks solid either way, have to wonder if they'll get Tavaris Jackson some action before the playoffs start.

3) Lot of turmoil in Washington this week, with team changing GMs; can Redskins put that behind them and end the Giants' season Monday nite?

2) UCLA visits Notre Dame as the lowest-ranked team in the Pac-10. I'm thinking they've never been ranked this low in the Pac-10, this late in the season, and I mean never. Ever. Not like the Pac-10 is loaded, either.

1) Packers won five in row, Steelers lost five in row, so of course Steelers are slight favorite. Will both streaks continue or will Pittsburgh win?

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

Atlanta Hawks at Chicago Bulls (-5, 197)

The Atlanta Hawks are on a six-game winning streak (6-0 ATS) and they’ve held their opponents under 100 points in five of those six games.

"We've just got to make it stingy as possible on the defensive end,” Josh Smith told reporters.

The Hawks sit at 19-6, a half game up on the Orlando Magic in the Southeast Division. The last time they were 13 games over .500 in December was the 1997-98 season.

The Hawks are jumping out to big leads early, allowing their starters plenty of time to rest. Bench players like Jamal Crawford and Mo Evans are continuing to contribute both offensively and defensively.

These Hawks are athletic and scrappy. They dive for loose balls and they play with a lot of heart. They may still be young, but since their first-round playoff matchup against the Celtics a couple of years back, they have matured and believe that they can play with just about any team in the league.

Pick: Atlanta

L.A. Lakers at New Jersey Nets

When the Nets won two games in a span of four days during the first week of December, it looked as if the armpit of the league was beginning to resemble a professional basketball team.

Since that second win of the season at Chicago on Dec. 8, New Jersey has dropped six straight (1-5 ATS) while losing by a margin of 17.2 ppg.

Chris Douglas-Roberts even returned to the lineup on Friday night after missing three games, playing 30 minutes and contributing 16 points. But that wasn’t enough to avoid a beat down by the less-than-stellar Raptors, 118-95, as 7-point underdogs.

The Nets pulled back within a non-laughable margin by the end of the game because Toronto benched all of its starters when the game was out of control, 94-60, after three periods of play.

"We were down a bit and then we came storming back and we were right there,” said center Brook Lopez after getting within eight points of the Jazz in the fourth quarter on Wednesday. “It just fell apart on us at the end again. I don't think you can fault our effort though."

The effort may be there, but blowout after blowout isn’t going to convince any bettors.

Pick: Lakers

Help side defense: NBA betting news and notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each week, we take a look at different trends and news going on in the Association and project how it might impact NBA bettors.

Senseless Bayless

You would think that on a team with nine healthy players - and two of them are antique Juwan Howard and neophyte Dante Cunningham - there wouldn't be any issues about playing time. Think again.

All three point guards for the injury-ravaged Portland Trail Blazers are healthy, and third-stringer Jerryd Bayless isn't happy with his 10.6 minutes per game, which is actually below his career average.

"I know every time I play I've helped this team. Every single time," he told The Oregonian earlier this week. "It's tough. Especially since, and I hate saying this, seeing these other guys doing what they are doing. I know I can help this team. I know I can."

It wasn't clear if the "other guys" were players taken in Bayless' draft class, such as Russell Westbrook and Eric Gordon, or Blazers point guards Andre Miller and Steve Blake, both of whom have been rumored to be on the trading block.

Regardless, Portland has had more than its share of drama this season and doesn't need any more, especially with a four-game road trip consisting of two back-to-backs - Miami and Orlando, then Dallas and San Antonio.

The Blazers have lost six of their last seven road games straight up and are 2-7-1 against the spread in their last 10 overall.

Rocket's red glare

Houston Rockets coach Rick Adelman isn't happy with his team's upcoming schedule and let anyone who was listening know about it.

On Tuesday night, the Rockets began a stretch of eight games in 13 days that carries through the Christmas weekend. The slate includes four sets of back-to-back games, five road games and five time changes when you count return flights home.

"I don’t know if the league really understands that they gave us four back-to-backs. It’s awful," Adelman told reporters. "And it’s not just the back-to-backs. We play at home (Tuesday), then travel to Denver for the next one. Then the next week we play at home, then travel to Orlando for the next one. To me, it’s just utterly ridiculous."

Before pulling out the violins, it should be noted that both Boston and Dallas have had stretches of eight games in 12 days this season. And the Rockets - who just got back Tracy McGrady - are 5-1 straight up and 3-3 against the spread in the back end of back-to-backs.

On the road, Houston is 8-7 straight up and 9-6 against the spread.

King me

Last season, the Sacramento Kings won 17 games. This season, they already have won 16 - against the spread. Sacramento's 16-7-1 ATS record is second-best in the NBA.

It is a staggering achievement when you consider the Kings have played all but five games without their best player (Kevin Martin) and his backup (Francisco Garcia), and have a rookie point guard (Tyreke Evans) running the offense for a first-year coach (Paul Westphal).

The Kings aren't favored very often, but when they are, you should grab them. They are 7-0 straight up and 6-1 against the spread when giving points, winning those games by an average of 12 points.

Sacramento is 8-2-1 ATS overall in its last 10 contests. It has a road trip this week with eminently winnable games at Minnesota, Milwaukee and Chicago before a difficult four-game homestand.

On the schedule

Saturday, Dec. 19, Utah at Charlotte

On Wednesday, the Jazz began a five-game, eight-day road trip that stays in the Eastern time zone and has just one back-to-back - but this is it. Utah is 3-6 straight up and ATS on the road while Charlotte has won six of its last seven home games, losing only to Boston while going 5-2 ATS.

Wednesday, Dec. 23, Atlanta at Denver

The Hawks have the best ATS record at 17-6. But this will be their fourth game in six nights, and the Nuggets are an excellent 11-1 straight up and 7-5 ATS at the Pepsi Center.

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

New York Islanders at Montreal Canadiens (-145, 5.5)

The Habs have dropped five straight – four by a one-goal margin – but might get the lift they need when defensemen Andrei Markov and Roman Hamrlik return to the lineup Saturday.

Markov has been sidelined since a collision with goalie Carey Price during the season opener. Montreal has given up 102 goals this season without Markov’s defensive prowess, ranking 22nd in the league.

"That's real good news," Canadiens coach Jacques Martin said regarding Markov's return. "He probably needs a little timing ... but to have a player with his skill will help with our breakouts and should help with our power play as well.”

"I know my body and I feel good, I'm ready to go,” said Markov, who will turn 31 on Saturday. “For me, it's like the season is starting."

Another added bonus for the Canadiens is the visiting opponent. The Islanders are 13-15-7 on the season and 0-9-2 in their last 11 meetings against Montreal.

Pick: Canadiens

Nashville Predators at Calgary Flames (-160, 5.5)

Both teams are tied for first-place in their respective divisions, but it’s been the Flames who have dominated this series in recent years.

Nashville has dropped five in a row to Calgary and eight of its last 10. The Preds were stymied on Nov. 30, suffering a 5-0 defeat to the Flames on their home ice.

In the last three meetings of this series, Nashville has gone 0-14 on power play opportunities and has three total goals during that span.

But the Flames head into this matchup in a bit of slump, losing three of their last four games while being outshot 91-150 in that stretch. Calgary’s lone win during its last four games came in a 2-1 victory over the Kings on Thursday.

"Overall, we played a really good game. That's what we needed," said goalie Miikka Kiprusoff after the game. "We've had some tough times lately and we know we had to bounce back."

Pick: Predators

Twice the ice: Hockey Night in Canada
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Bruins at Toronto Maple Leafs (-115, 6)

The basics

The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs face off for the third time in two weeks.

The Bruins are 16-10-6 and have lost two in a row only once this season.

The Maple Leafs are 12-15-7 overall, but are 9-4-1 in their last 14 games. Two of those losses have been to the Bruins.

“It's a completely different team now. You see smiles out there on the ice and it's a lighter mood in the locker room," Toronto forward Viktor Stahlberg told the Toronto Star.

Re-re match

When Boston beat Toronto on December 5, Leafs coach Ron Wilson told reporters after the game, “we stunk and we’ll move on”.

After losing 5-2 to the Bruins five days later, Wilson said "some guys have to wake up." Wilson was referring to his penalty killing, ranked last in the league.

The Bruins have owned the Leafs recently, winning seven games in a row and taking nine of 10 from their division rivals.

Is it over yet?

Not only is the over 11-1 in the last 12 games between Boston and Toronto, but an average of 8.08 goals have been scored in those contests.

Other than the two recent games against the Leafs, Boston has been struggling to score, putting up four goals in its last three games.

“The whole thing now is not so much do we lack scoring,” Boston coach Claude Julien told the Boston Herald. “We’re just not getting the scoring we should.”

Toronto has gone over the total in six of its last eight games.

First (PP) goal wins?

Boston has the league’s best power play at 86.2 percent and Toronto has the league’s worst power play at 70.1 percent.

Boston is 0-for-13 with the extra man in its last three games against teams other than the Maple Leafs, and 4-for-8 on the power play in its last two games against Toronto.

Toronto has given up at least one power-play goal in its last eight games and is 7-for-53 (13.2 percent) with the man-advantage.

Washington Capitals at Edmonton Oilers (+120, 6)

For just the fourth time since the lockout, the Washington Capitals take on the Edmonton Oilers.

Washington is 21-7-6 and has won eight of its last 10 games.

Edmonton is 15-15-2 and has lost two in a row at home after winning five consecutive road games.

Tender tenders

According to Capitals beat writer Tarik El-Bashir, Semyon Varlamov could return from injury Saturday.

"He's getting better," Washington coach Bruce Boudreau told the Washington Post. "He'll practice full out tomorrow and we'll see if Saturday or Wednesday if he'll get a start."

Varlamov is 12-1-2 with a 2.29 GAA for the Caps, while Jose Theodore is 9-4-4 with a 2.93 GAA.

For Edmonton, Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers will likely make his 14th straight start. He is 8-6-2 with a 2.85 GAA.

Road Weary

Saturday’s game will be the final game of Washington’s cross-continent road trip. The trip started in Toronto last Saturday, continued to Colorado and includes a stop in Vancouver Friday night.

When playing back-to-back nights, Washington has been outscored 18-8 after the first period.

Edmonton will be rested and ready, playing its eighth consecutive game on at least one day of rest.

Consistently inconsistent

Washington has been relatively consistent, not losing more than two games in a row in regulation this season.

After opening 6-2-1, injuries and illnesses took their toll and the Oilers dropped to 10-13-4. The Oil then won five games in a row on the road and have now lost their last two at home.

"The good teams have that level all the time, not five games at a time. To take two steps forward and two steps back, you get nowhere. It's like you're in quicksand," Oilers defenseman Sheldon Souray told the National Post.
