Daily Sports Roundup

Tuesday, December 29

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Miami meets Wisconsin at the Citrus Bowl, while the Hawks take on the Stars, and the Cavaliers look for a victory in Atlanta.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The college football bowl schedule offers up two games on Tuesday, with UCLA vs. Temple in the EagleBank Bowl, and Miami vs. Wisconsin in the Champs Sports Bowl. The Hurricanes (9-3 SU, 6-5 ATS) blew past South Florida 31-10 in their regular-season finale, while the Badgers (9-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) blasted Hawaii 51-10 in their most recent game. The oddsmakers have set Miami as the 4-point favorite at Orlando's Citrus Bowl, with the total for the matchup listed at 58 points.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA has seven games on tap for Tuesday, with New York at Detroit, Oklahoma City at Washington, Indiana at Chicago, New Orleans at Houston, Minnesota at San Antonio, Golden State at the Lakers, and Cleveland at Atlanta. The Cavaliers (24-8 SU, 17-15 ATS) are coming off a 108-83 win over Houston on Sunday, with LeBron James pouring in 29 points in that contest. The Hawks (21-8 SU, 21-8 ATS) beat the Pacers in Indiana by a score of 110-98 last game.

As well, many of college hoops' top teams are in action on Tuesday, including Texas (vs. Gardner-Webb), Duke (vs. Long Beach State), West Virginia (vs. Marquette), Kentucky (vs. Hartford), Purdue (at Iowa), Syracuse (at Seton Hall), and Kansas (vs. Belmont). As well, a ranked matchup has Texas Tech (10-1 SU, 5-1 ATS) at New Mexico (12-1 SU, 9-3 ATS). The Red Raiders beat Stanford 100-87 last time out, while the Lobos are coming off a 75-66 loss to Oral Roberts.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, the NHL has just six games on its Tuesday slate, with Columbus at the Islanders, Pittsburgh at Buffalo, Nashville at St. Louis, Vancouver at Phoenix, Minnesota at Anaheim, and Chicago at Dallas. The 26-9-3 Blackhawks won their third straight game last time out, getting past Nashville 5-4 on Sunday night on the strength of two Patrick Kane goals. The 16-11-11 Stars fell 4-1 in Colorado in their last game Saturday, with Steve Ott scoring the only Dallas goal in that loss.

Bettors' best friend: Today's wagering tips

Tuesday, December 29

Showdown in O-Town

The outcome of Tuesday night's Champs Sports Bowl between Miami and Wisconsin could come down to the something the size of a thumb.

In fact, something exactly the size of the thumb on Hurricanes quarterback Jacoby Harris' throwing hand, which he injured in a four-interception loss to North Carolina on Nov. 14.

Granted, Harris came back to lead the Canes to easy wins over Duke and South Florida to close the season, but he says his thumb continues to give him problems.

Coupled with the loss off top offensive lineman James Fox, Miami could have trouble running and passing against the Badgers' defense.

Wisconsin counters with a power running game that could eat some clock and keep the score close and low. Although both teams average more than 30 points per outing, they haven't fared as well against stronger defenses like both bring into the game.

Miami is a 3-point favorite with a total of 58.5.

Slow Down in Motown

New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni struck a cord with his struggling team a few weeks ago when he told them if they couldn't score points they could at least stop opponents from piling them up.

The Knicks haven't allowed a foe to score in triple-digits since Dec. 4 and are 7-4 SU during that span. More importantly, their last seven games have gone under the total.

Meanwhile the Pistons have struggled without injured stars Tayshaun Prince, Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton, who are back but not quite ready for prime time. The trio combined for just 34 points in 90 total minutes in their last outing.

Detroit hasn't scored in triple-figures since Dec. 12 and was held to outputs of 64, 76 and 81 in last week's losses. The Pistons have dropped seven in a row SU and ATS.

If you like rim-to-rim NBA action, you might want to close your eyes and hold your nose for this one. But bettors may have something to gain from the ugly game.

The Pistons are favored by 5.5 with a total of 188.

Long Island Tease

If Christopher Columbus had suffered the same luck as his namesake city's hockey team, his ship would have sank long before reaching the Americas.

The Blue Jackets float lifelessly into Long Island on Tuesday night to face the New York Islanders, who haven't exactly seen smooth sailing this season either.

But nowhere near the woes of the Jackets, who have lost nine in a row SU and ATS coming into the game. They acquired Chris Clark and Milan Jurcina from the Capitals in exchange for Jason Chemira in hopes of shaking things up, but the deal was more of a mild stir.

The Isles have won two of their last three, which is a hot streak compared to the sinking Jackets, who have scored just six goals in their last eight outings.

The Islanders are -140 with a total of 5.5.

Notable quotable

"The perfect season was never an issue with us. We've said it time and time and time again. It's somebody else's issue, but not ours. That was of no concern. Football logic has to come into play, and that logic is it makes no sense to have guys out there with the potential for injuries."

Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Polian defending coach Jim Caldwell's decision to pull several starters with a 15-10 lead in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. The Jets rallied for a 29-15 win to spoil the Colts' run at an undefeated regular season.

Tuesday's List of 13: Random facts for the last Tuesday of 2009

13) If Broncos miss the playoffs, they'll be just third team ever to start a season 6-0 and not make the playoffs ('78 Redskins, '03 Vikings).

12) Giants started their season 5-0, but are 3-7 in their last ten games and will be home when the playoffs start.

11) Maybe the Colts lost on purpose to the Jets because they knew the NFL would've flexed their Week 17 game in Buffalo to a night game, and the Colt brass wasn't thrilled about a January 3 night game in Buffalo.

10) Ravens outscored their last four opponents 55-3 in second half.

9) Carolina is plus-12 (14-2) in turnovers their last four games.

8) How exactly did Colts' backup QB Jim Sorgi get hurt? He never plays.

7) Lions are 2-13; they've won the field position battle in one game, the Thanksgiving Day loss to Green Bay.

6) Packers scored 11 touchdowns on their last 23 drives.

5) Seahawks lost their last three games by combined score of 106-24.

4) In their last three games, Houston Texans averaged 9.4/9.2/8.8 yards per pass attempt; if they get in the playoffs, they'll be a tough out.

3) Jacksonville gave up nine TDs on opponents' last 16 drives, allowing an average of 10.3 yards per pass attempt in last two games. Not good.

2) If I run the New York Mets, I call Jason Bay's agent and give him 48 hours to accept their $65M offer, or else its off the table. Enough already; its fairly obvious Bay wants no part of Citi Field. Mets are a big market team; you'd think they'd get more respect than this.

1) Colt fans have to ask themselves what’s more important; feeding your egos and trying to outdo what the Patriots did two years ago, or simply trying to win another Super Bowl? Its not a difficult question.

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

New Orleans Hornets at Houston Rockets (-5, 193)

The Rockets are 18-13, seventh-best in a tough Western Conference. They are thriving despite the absence of their franchise center Yao Ming, and disgruntled shooting guard Tracy McGrady.

Despite a roster of castoffs and no-names, Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry, Trevor Ariza and Luis Scola have taken it upon themselves to prove everybody wrong.

“We have a collection of guys who have been told they’re too ‘something’ to play in the NBA,” forward Shane Battier told reporters recently. “Too small, too short, too dumb, can’t shoot, unathletic.”

Brooks has the quickness to blow by defenders while getting his teammates involved. Landry possesses grit and low post scoring while Scola sets great screens and makes the most of his talents.

The new-look Rockets have already beaten elite NBA powers like the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Meanwhile, the Hornets struggle to find consistency and scoring beyond Chris Paul and David West.

Pick: Houston


Indiana Pacers at Chicago Bulls (-5.5, 190)

The decision to fire head coach Vinny Del Negro has already been made. According to multiple sources, the only thing holding the Bulls back from letting the axe fall is a replacement.

So how will the Bulls respond with so many reports indicating their bench boss is a lame duck?

“We’re not worried about anything but playing,” Bulls point guard Derrick Rose told the Chicago Tribune on Christmas Eve. “The coaching decision, that’s up to the front office.”

Del Negro has tried shaking things up a bit to get a response from his slumping group. He benched John Salmons and inserted Kirk Hinrich to the starting lineup.

Del Negro is also happy to have Tyrus Thomas back and healthy. The athletic power forward registered 21 points and nine rebounds in his first game back since he broke his arm back at the beginning of November.

Chicago backers shouldn’t get their hopes up after one win against the Hornets.

Expect the Pacers to take advantage of a disorganized Chicago squad.

Pick: Pacers
