T.M. Selection: NOP @ MIL - OVER 

I am on the OVER in the New Orleans Pelicans @ Milwaukee Bucks game on Sunday. While both teams had the day off yesterday, both should be well rested coming in. The Pelicans come in off seven straight losses. Now, I don't expect that streak to continue for too much longer, but they've got some tough games ahead of them. I believe that they just need to start scoring the ball more as they haven't reached over 110 points during this span. Even though they've struggled, they've seen the total go OVER in 18 of their last 22 games played against an opponent with a winning record. Milwaukee has seen four straight OVER's against teams with a losing record away from home. Expect a high scoring game here. 

T.M. Prediction: 132-124 Bucks. 

Line: O/U 233.0 

Line Parameter: play until 234.5.. 

T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals - ATS 

I like the Cincinnati Bengals to win this game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. While I have great respect for Patrick Mahomes & Travis Kielce as I believe they are the best at their positions by far in the league, I believe that the Bengals are the better overall team in this game. After their trashing against the Bills, I'm surprised that the Bengals aren't the favorites coming into this game. I'm sure they will be as the week moves on and people become concerned about Mahomes' ankle injury. However, like I said in my Bengals/Bills writeup, “If you play zone, Burrow will pick you apart. If you play man, Higgins and Chase will go up and make big time plays.” Expect a forth straight Bengals win in this growing rivalry this weekend. 

T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Bengals. 

Line: +1.0 

Line Parameter: play until -2.5.. 

T.M. Selection: Bruins @ Hurricanes - UNDER 

I am on the UNDER in the Boston Bruins @ Carolina Hurricanes game on Sunday. This game could go either way. With the Bruins having lost two games in a row, it's hard to think that they'll lose this game. But, the Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the NHL as well. Both goalies are excellent. Arguably one and two in the league this season. Both defenses are stellar as well. Carolina ranks #1 in SOG allowed, while Boston rank #1 in goals allowed. When they played earlier this season, they ended up with five goals (UNDER.) Expect an even lower scoring contest here. 

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Bruins. 

Line: O/U 6.0 -115

Line Parameter: play until 6.0, -135.. 

T.M. Selection: Belmont - ML 

I like the Belmont Bruins to win this game against the Drake Bulldogs on Sunday. Both of these teams have been really solid throughout this season, but I believe that the home crowd gives Belmont the advantage here. The Bruins come into this game having won each of their last seven games. Drake is just 1-6 ATS and 2-5 SU this season in road games. Expect a Belmont win here. 

T.M. Prediction: 71-63 Belmont. 

Line: -120 

Line Parameter: play until -155.. 

T.M. Selection: St Johns - ATS 

I like the St. Johns Red Storm to win this game against the Georgetown Hoyas on Sunday. With Georgetown winning their first conference game in a very long time last time out, I believe that they'll go back to losing once again here. The Red Storm may not be the best team in the division, but they've been excellent at home. Let's not forget that the Hoyas are yet to win on the road this year. This is also one of the hardest conferences to win on the road in. Expect a destruction in this one. 

T.M. Prediction: 89-71 St Johns. 

Line: -10.0 

Line Parameter: play until -11.0..
