Spurs look to extend dominance of Hornets
By: Adam Markowitz | Friday, October 29, 2010

The San Antonio Spurs seem to always be everyone's dark horse pick to win the NBA title. However, they were a very mediocre team in SW Division play last year, going just 9-7 SU. The only team that they really had extended success against? Saturday night's opponent, the New Orleans Hornets.

The Hornets are going to be playing on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets before heading to San Antonio for their first road game of the year. In spite of the fact that New Orleans allowed three opponents to pick up double-doubles and had five reach double digits in scoring, it had no problem trumping the Milwaukee Bucks 95-91 to open up the season.

As expected, when the Hornets do well, G Chris Paul and F David West both have good games. Paul knows that his team in the Bayou is probably short, as his name has been swirling as trade bait since the end of last season, but he got his 2010-11 campaign off to a good start by scoring 17 points to go with 16 assists. West had 22 points and seven boards.

Shooting the ball was a real problem last year for the Hornets, and things aren't off to a good start this year. If you take away Paul and West, the rest of the team only shot 19-of-54 from the field, a dreadful 35.2 percent. There is a real issue of depth on this team as well, something that very well could be exploited by the Spurs on Saturday.

As for San Antonio, it couldn't have asked for a better start to its season either. The team used a dominating fourth quarter to stomp the Indiana Pacers in the home opener 122-109, easily covering the 8 ½-point NBA betting line.

Defense in the post was a big problem, as both F Danny Granger and C Roy Hibbert had monstrous days for Indiana, but the Hornets don't have the bulk in the paint to cause that same type of problem this weekend.

Six Spurs scored in double digits, led by center Tim Duncan, who had a double-double with 23 points and 12 boards. Guard Tony Parker came up just one assist shy, as he had 20 points and nine helpers. Rookie James Anderson, a pure scorer from Oklahoma State, had a nice debut, going 4-for-8 from the field down 2-for-5 from beyond the arc to score 10 points. Guard Manu Ginobili nailed five triples and scored 22.

The Spurs have won five straight and eight of the last 10 in this series. Last season was an absolute embarrassment for the Hornets, as they were washed away four times, each loss by at least seven points. San Antonio averaged putting a 105-92 beat down on New Orleans lap in the four victories, each of which resulted in relatively easy covers.

The Spurs are going to come into this one at 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games played at home, while the Hornets are only 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 dating back to last season away from New Orleans Arena.

The home team has gone 13-4 ATS in the last 17 meetings in this Southwest Division rivalry, while the favorite is 11-4 ATS in the last 15.

Bookmaker will be right there with you every step of the way this weekend and will have all of your NBA betting lines, including the one for this duel. We expect to see San Antonio open as a fairly heavy favorite.

Bombers look for first roadie in Edmonton
By: David Schwab | Thursday, October 28, 2010

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will try to disrupt the Edmonton Eskimos' postseason plans by trying to win their first game on the road this season. This Week 18 matchup is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 30 at Canad Inns in Manitoba with kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m. (PT).

Winnipeg has not played that well at home, but it has been downright awful on the road this season. This game will be the Blue Bombers last chance this year to end a nine-game road losing streak that dates back to 2009. Last week’s 27-8 loss to Toronto as a six-point home underdog dropped their record to 4-12 straight-up on the year. The Bombers have been a good play against the spread, going 9-7 so far this season. Last week’s game total stayed ‘under’ the 49 ½-point line.

Winnipeg has been eliminated from the playoffs so it will try and play the role of spoiler in this game to keep the Eskimos out of the postseason as well. The Bombers are 0-8 SU on the road but they are 4-4 ATS. The total has stayed ‘under’ in six of their last eight games overall.

Edmonton has been the hottest team in the league down the stretch, winning five of its last six games to make a strong push to get into the playoffs. Last week the Eskimos knocked off Saskatchewan 39-24 in a game they came into as a 2 ½-point home underdog. The total went well ‘over’ the 51 ½-point line.

The victory moved their record to 6-10 SU and 7-9 ATS. Edmonton is currently tied with British Columbia for the final spot in the postseason as five other teams have already clinched a berth. Both teams are in third place in the West Division with 12 points. The Eskimos are 4-4 both SU and ATS at home this season. The total has gone ‘over’ in six of their last 10 games overall.

This will be the second meeting between these two teams this season. Winnipeg came away with a 47-21 win in Week 4. The Blue Bombers were a one-point home underdog and the total went ‘over’ the 54-point line. Bomber QB Steven Jyles had a career day, throwing for 267 yards and a score while adding two more TD’s on the ground.

It is still unclear if Jyles will get the start in this game after injuring his shoulder in the loss to Toronto. Winnipeg may actually have to go with rookie QB Joey Elliott, who saw action in last week’s game after Jyles’ backup, Alex Brink, injured his shoulder as well. Edmonton will hope to have Ricky Ray behind center for this game after missing last week’s game with a shoulder injury of his own. Jared Zabransky will get the call if Ray cannot go.

Sportsinteraction.com has opened its CFL odds with the Eskimos 6 ½-point favorites and the ‘over/under’ line is set at 52. Head-to-head, Edmonton has won four out of the last seven games SU, but Winnipeg is 4-3 ATS. The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games overall.

These teams have a tendency to play each other tough with six of the last eight games decided by an average of 5.66 points. Winnipeg is playing for pride and a on the road, while Edmonton is playing for its postseason life; advantage Eskimos straight-up but take the Bombers and the 6 ½ points.

Short weekend on NHL betting menu
By: Barry Daniels | Friday, October 29, 2010

It had to happen eventually. The Nashville Predators became the last NHL team to suffer a regulation loss Thursday when they were blanked by the Blues as 100 home underdogs, 3-0. The Preds will attempt to get back on track Saturday when they travel to the Motor City to take on the Detroit Red Wings.

Nashville (5-1-3) is still off to its best start since it began the 2005-06 campaign with a sparkling 8-0-1 record. The Preds will now begin a five-game road trip starting with Detroit on Saturday, but that shouldn’t concern them. Nashville is 3-0-0 on the road this season and 9-3 in its last 12 road encounters dating to last season.

However, the Predators continued their troubling trend of being outshot. Entering Thursday’s game, Nashville had been outshot by average of more than four shots per game. St. Louis peppered goaltender Pekka Rinne with 34 shots, while the Preds had 24 shots.

Despite the recent unbeaten streak, the Predators have not been proficient with the man advantage. They were 0-for-3 against the Blues and have now scored just one power play goal in their last 21 opportunities.

The ‘under’ is 18-8-1 at the hockey betting window in Nashville’s last 27 overall outings and 10-4-1 in its last 15 games against other Central Division foes.

Detroit concludes its four-game homestand in this spot. The Red Wings captured the first two games on the stand before dropping Thursday’s 4-2 decision to the Anaheim Ducks as 170 home favorites. The combined six goals skipped above the 5 ½-goal closing total, which enabled the ‘over’ to cash in Detroit’s last three games.

Detroit went 1-for-6 against the Ducks on the power play, leaving the club with at least one power play goal in each of its last seven games.

Mike Babcock’s troops are 30-9-2 in their last 41 series meetings against Nashville at Joe Louis Arena. The ‘over’ is 8-3 in the last 11 overall matchups against the Preds.

Trends and angles for some of Saturday’s other top games appear below. Note that the NHL is dark on Sunday.

Bruins at Senators
Saturday, Oct. 30 – 4:05 p.m. PT

Boston begins a three-game road trip with a stop in Ottawa before moving on to Buffalo and Washington next week. Playing in Ottawa has not been a problem for the Bruins, as they are 6-1 in their last seven trips there. The Bruins are off Thursday’s 2-0 home win against the Leafs, which was Boston’s fourth straight ‘under’ game. Bruins netminder Tim Thomas has not allowed more than one goal in any of his first five starts, which includes two shutouts.

Ottawa is playing the final game of a four-game homestand. The Senators dropped the first contest to Montreal, 3-0, before registering victories against Phoenix (5-2) and Florida (5-3). The last two games flew above the closing total, which enabled the ‘over’ to go 5-1 in Ottawa’s last six games and 7-3-1 in its last 11 home contests. The ‘over’ is also 9-3 in the last 12 series meetings against the Bruins.

Blue Jackets at Avalanche
Saturday, Oct. 30 – 6:05 p.m. PT

Columbus has captured its last three games and five of its last six outings. Each of the last three contests dipped ‘under’ the closing total, leaving the ‘under’ 7-2 in Columbus’ first nine games this season. The Blue Jackets are also a perfect 3-0 on enemy ice. Columbus dropped all four meetings against Colorado last season, getting outscored 16-7 in the process. The ‘over/under’ was split 2-2.

Colorado snapped its three-game losing skid with Thursday’s 6-5 win at Calgary as a 125 road underdog. The combined 11 goals soared above the 5 ½-goal closing total. That enabled the ‘over’ to cash in the eight of the Avs’ first 10 games, including the last four. In fact, the ‘over’ is 20-8 in Colorado’s last 28 outings dating to last season.

Capitals at Flames
Saturday, Oct. 30 – 7:05 p.m. PT

Washington is playing its third game in four nights, but that hasn’t seemed to bother the Caps. They are 8-2 in the third game during those last 10 situations. Washington continued its ‘under’ trend Thursday during a 2-1 loss at Minnesota as a 120 road favorite. The Caps have now seen the ‘under’ cash in seven of their last eight outings. Washington is 6-2-2 in its last 10 series meetings against the Flames.

The Flames had a three-game winning streak snapped Thursday when Colorado edged them, 6-5. The combined 11 goals catapulted above the 5 ½-goal closing total, leaving the ‘over’ 4-1 in Calgary’s last five games. Curiously, the Flames are 5-0 in their last five games when scoring five or more goals the previous game and the ‘under’ is 8-2 during the last 10 in that situation. The ‘under’ is 37-17 in Calgary’s last 54 home dates.

Great goaltending

Tim Thomas continues to be a brick wall between the pipes for the Boston Bruins. Thomas has not yielded more than one goal in any of his five starts and has also registered two shutouts. The fast start has him leading all goaltenders with a miniscule 0.60 goals-against average and an unbelievable .981 save percentage.

St. Louis is reaping the benefits of acquiring Jaroslav Halak from Montreal during the offseason. Halak is 5-1-1 in seven starts for the Blues with one shutout and a 1.55 GAA. He also has a fine .939 save percentage.

Los Angeles Kings netminder Jonathan Quick rounds out the top three goalies. Quick has helped the Kings jump out to a fast start by going 6-1 with a 1.96 GAA and .928 save percentage.

It is interesting to note that Montreal’s Carey Price is the lone goalie to play in all of his team’s contests. Price has played in all nine Montreal games, going 6-2-1 with a 2.32 GAA and .913 save percentage.
