Titans +1 (Opinion)
The Chiefs are a team that is unpredictable and find ways to lose in 4th Q. Team has no defense and Priest Holmes. Steve Why not sit the rest of season and get healthy McNair is a game time decision. Titan defense is ravaged by injuries are forced to start several rookies. Samari Rolle out. Titans come home after 3 road games and the last 2 have been pretty bad. The do have a tendency to play better D at home and have given up 19, 20, 20, and 15 in there last 4 in Nashville. This game features two 4-8 teams and we have a problem late in the year with playing a game with 2 non-playoff bound teams. We recommend you pass on this game alltogether and we will be doing so ourselves

NBA Boston vs. Los Angeles [2004-12-13]
Take Under
Reason: Using the posted lines in this game (LA -4, 198½) the odds-makers are assuming a final score of LA 101 Boston 97. I find that to be a little ridiculous, as LA is one of the better defensive teams in the league. The Clippers allow 92 ppg, which is the 6th best ppg allowed in the league. Over the past 7 games, the Clippers have tightened up even more, allowing just 89 ppg., including two overtime games. The fact is that just 3 of the past 8 Clipper opponents have scored over 90 points. Boston is not shy about scoring points, averaging 98 ppg this season and over 100 ppg over their past 7 games. A little further investigation will reveal that they have been putting up some heavy numbers vs. teams that don't pride themselves on defense. Their last 7 games have included Seattle, Orlando, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Toronto, and Golden St. Each of those teams is in the bottom 9 of ppg allowed in the entire league. That is not taking anything away from the Celtics, however opposition must be considered. Boston has tightened up their defense over the past few games as well. Although they have allowed an average of 99ppg over their past 7 games, 3 of their opponents were held to under 90 points. And remember, the same opponents mentioned above apply. The Clippers are averaging 97 ppg, however over their past 7 games, 2 overtime games and two games vs. Golden State have helped them reach that average. Every way I slice it I see this line being too high. Boston's recent numbers are inflated due to their opponents played, and the LA defense is being slighted. This game will fall well below the posted line.

NBA Cleveland vs. Memphis [2004-12-13]
Take Memphis Grizzlies
Reason: The Cavaliers are a young team that has gone 8-1 SU (6-3 ATS) at home, but just 4-7 SU (5-6 ATS) on the road this season. Cleveland enters this game off two bad losses at Chicago (85-113) and at San Antonio (97-116). The Cavaliers played horrible defense in both games, allowing 113 and 116 points, along with 53% and 66% FG defense.

2 Units on Tennessee Titans pk -110
MNF SIDE: Last week, the Chiefs traveled out to Oakland against a DIVISIONAL rival and defeated the Raiders. The fact of the matter is that Kansas City is a dreadful 3-15 SU/5-13 ATS when coming off an outright victory on the ROAD. If that triumph was against a fellow AFC West opponent, that statistic falls to 1-7 SU/ATS!! In addition, the Chiefs are 1-5 both SU and ATS the last 6 times they have had to played in the second of CONSECUTIVE road affairs matched up against a NON-Divisional opponent!! If you take a moment to think about it, those three statistical angles that I just gave you really make sense as the Chiefs always suffer an EMOTIONAL letdown after beating a Divisional Rival on the highway. The bottom line regarding tonight's game is that BOTH dissapointing teams check in with serious INJURY issues. On the defensive side of the football, Tennessee has lost 3 linebackers and 3 starting defensive backs. Kansas City is forced to start a pair of ROOKIE safeties in the secondary while they have had to replace a pair of starters at the linebacker position. On offense, Kansas City's personal "touchdown maker" Priest Holmes is officially OUT for the remainder of the season after failing to fully recover from a major knee injury. Tennessee stud QB Steve McNair has NOT started FOUR different times already this campaign after suffering an early-season sternum injury, which has caused him to lose his breath when hit in that area. Going into this season, McNair was actually was the "iron man" of the NFL, but his repeated injuries have now forced him into talking about a possible retirement. With all the injuries, it is easy to see why tonight's game is a virtual pick-em affair. There will be many people that are "scared" to place a wager on Tennessee after they have lost a pair of ugly road games the last couple of weeks. Two weeks ago, they blew an 18-point second half lead at Houston. Last Sunday, they got blown out against mighty Peyton Manning 51-24 at Indianapolis. However, the Titans are playing in front of their HOME fans tonight. Tennessee just happens to be an outstanding 11-2 SU/HOME when coming off consecutive outright losses on the road!!! Since this is a virtual pick-em affair tonight, the KICKING game most likely will come into play, and that is where the Titans have a huge edge. Veteran Gary Anderson has connected on 13 of 15 field goal opportunities so far (7-for-7 inside the 40 yard line), while punter Craig Hentrich has averaged a hefty 45.3 yards per boot and has been one of the most consistent veterans in the business for many a season. Kansas City has a pair of unproven ROOKIES in Steve Cheek and Lawrence Tynes at both the punting and kicking positions. The main reason why I am on Tennessee tonight is that they are playing at HOME where they have a tremendous fan base that attracts a "college type" atmosphere and creates a ton of NOISE and excitement. I also have tremendous respect for Tennessee head coach Jeff Fisher who always has his teams' prepared to play and MENTALLY tough. Last week, Fisher showed he would do anything to win as he used 3 different onside kicks, went for it on fourth-down and threw a "center eligible" pass. One thing is for sure tonight which is that no matter what their record, Tennessee NEVER backs down. Even if the ailing Steve McNair cannot go tonight, the Titans have a QUALITY reserve in Billy Volek who has already started FOUR games this season. Even though he is a bit banged up, RB Chris Brown (976 YR) is closing in on the magical 1,000 total yards barrier, and has proved to be an excellent replacement for the aging Eddie George who has been a complete bust in Dallas. In what one may want to call either the injury or "Pride Bowl", I am siding with the HOME team.

Stanford @ Denver
Play On: Denver +3.0
The Cardinal have had problems adjusting to the loss of head coach Mike Montgomery. They are shooting less than 40% from the field and averaging just 63.0 PPG. Denver has been holding their foes to just 60.0 PPG thus far. Denver is also 4-0 SU at home this season. This game will be much larger for the team from the smaller conference. Stanford is ripe for the taking, as many of the players they were counting on to step up have not produced. Play on Denver +3.0
MIKE GODSEY
WAKE FOREST -7’ Temple
We’ve noticed over the years that former No. 1 teams are great plays for several games once getting knocked off their pedestal. In their only game since, they routed Richmond by 17. Temple has now gone five straight games of shooting in the 30 percentile, shooting just 34.3 total in that span. That does not bode well when facing a team that averages 83 ppg to teams normally given up 13 points less. Wake is well rested for this game not having played since December 4. Temple has good size but not the speed or talent to keep up with the Demon Deacons.
