The Hawks have put up 130, 141 and 116 points in their last three games while the Magic have scored 115, 135 and 122 in their last three.

The Colts won 31-20 when they clashed with Houston back in September, but I think this will be a much lower-scoring affair as I expect both teams to be relatively conservative as they're playing for the AFC South title. Houston rookie QB CJ Stroud has been stealing most of the headlines from the rest of the team (and deservedly so), but the Texans defense has been sneaky good. The Texans limited the Titans to three points last week; the under is 5-1 in Texans last 6 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game and 9-3 in Texans last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 4* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

The Gators lost back-to-back games to close out November but have won six in a row since, including an impressive 106-101 win at Michigan.

MIKE'S 4* LAKERS/THUNDER NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Lakers are heading to Oklahoma City on a four-game losing streak. I think they're in for another tough game here against a Thunder team that defeated them 133-110 back in November. The Thunder are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Lakers covered the closing line in a loss at Minnesota on Thursday but they are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win. 4* PLAY ON THE THUNDER.

The Blazers covered the spread in a 118-114 loss to Golden State on Sunday, but they are still only 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog and the Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 4* PLAY ON THE SUNS.

MIKE'S 4* COWBOYS/BILLS NFL SUNDAY TOP PLAY This looks like a good spot to fade the Dallas Cowboys following five straight wins, including a 33-13 win over their rivals the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Dallas is 10-3 on the season, but only 3-3 on the road. The Cowboys are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 14 points. The Buffalo Bills are only 7-6 on the season and in second place in the division and will most likely have to win out to catch the first-place Miami Dolphins. Desperation breeds motivation and I think we'll see a hyper-focused Bills team beat Dallas. 4* PLAY ON THE BUFFALO BILLS.
