Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings
NBA Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -2.5 -110 odds (December 26th 2011)
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S PREMIUM NBA PICKS

The Los Angeles Lakers should be more heavily favored tonight against the Sacramento Kings. The perception of the Lakers is that they are ‘down’ this year after losing Lamar Odom. That was evident by the fact that they were an underdog at home to the Chicago Bulls on Christmas Day.

The Lakers clearly should have beaten the Bulls, blowing a double-digit lead late thanks to turnovers and wasted possessions. It was clear from watching them that they are going to be better than expected this season, and that their new additions are underrated. Troy Murphy and Josh McRoberts are going to be key contributors this year.

The Lakers’ recent success against the Sacramento Kings lends reason to believe they have a solid chance to bounce back quickly from a tough loss. Los Angeles has won nine of their last 10 meetings with Sacramento.

While the Kings may be a little better this season, this is still a young squad and it’s going to take some time for these players to gel together. The lockout certainly didn’t help Sacramento’s progress. The Lakers have also won nine of their last 10 trips to Sacramento. Bet the Lakers Monday.

Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots
NFL Pick: Miami Dolphins +10 -110 odds (December 24th 2011)
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT NFL PICKS

The Patriots beat the Dolphins 38-24 clear back in their season opener, but this isn’t the same Miami team the Pats saw in September. The Phins have rebounded from an 0-7 start to win 5 of their last 7 games straight up and 7 of their last 8 games against the spread.

With the playoffs not being an option for the Dolphins, they will treat this game as their Super Bowl. With that kind of commitment to this contest, I expect them to give New England a game.

The key to Miami’s turnaround has been its running attack. Reggie Bush, who ranks sixth in the AFC with 973 rushing yards, is a big reason why the Dolphins rank seventh in the NFL with 127.4 rushing yards per game. He has averaged 135.3 rushing yards the last three weeks and could be poised for a big day against a New England defense ranked dead last in the NFL with 414.4 yards allowed per contest.

The Dolphins have averaged 190.7 rushing yards over their last three games and the Patriots have given up an average of 211 rushing yards in their last two games. If Miami is able to run the football, which I fully expect they will, it will be able to control the clock. The less time the New England offense spends on the field, the less time it will have to score.

Miami is 5-2 ATS in road games this season, 21-8-1 ATS in its last 30 road games and 23-6 ATS in its last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Dolphins are also a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning record.

The road team has covered the spread in 7 of the last 9 meetings in this series, and I expect this trend to continue Saturday.

Idaho vs. Wisconsin Green Bay
College Basketball Prediction: Idaho +3 (December 22nd 2011)
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S PREMIUM COLLEGE BASKETBALL PREDICTIONS

The Vandals come into this game off a heartbreaking 78-80 overtime loss at Wright State as a 1-point favorite. Even with the loss, Idaho is a DOMINANT 4-1 ATS ON THE ROAD. That includes an outright win at Oregon State (74-60) as a 12.5-point underdog.

The loss snapped the Vandals 3-game winning streak. Idaho is is 7-5 on the year. They have rebounded from their first four losses with a straight up win and a win against the spread.

Wisconsin-Green Bay is just 5-6 overall, but this is weird game for them. The Phoenix haven’t played since barely holding off Michigan Tech at home 69-61 last Tuesday. After their game against Idaho they won’t play again until next Thursday. I expect them to come out very flat and lose this game outright. The safe play is to take the 3-points, but I will likely throw a little extra on the Idaho money line of +144.

Idaho is 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 games as an underdog and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5. BET THE VANDALS +3!
