50* Powerhouse Play on Wolves +2½ -110 In order to stay above .500, the Nets (16-15) need to take down the Timberwolves (11-20) this evening in Minnesota.

On average, the 49ers are scoring 30 points per game on 394 yards of offense while allowing 19 points per game on 301 yards. Jimmy Garoppolo needs to better protect the football. In addition to fumbling five times, the San Francisco quarterback has tossed 13 interceptions. Seattle has been a very good team that’s only been alright at home, where they’ve earned a 4-3 record. The Seahawks enter tonight’s game as losers of two of their last three. Most recently, Seattle could only score 13 points in a loss to Arizona. On average, the Seahawks are scoring 26 points per game on 396 yards of offense while allowing 25 points per game on 391 yards. Seattle is in a crisis at the running back position.

Houston has won five of their last six games, but they dropped a contest against Golden State in their most recent away contest. The Rockets have struggled against lesser competition recently. In addition to that loss to the Warriors, Houston has fallen to Detroit, Sacramento, and San Antonio in their last four defeats.

After James Harden (38.3 ppg) and Russell Westbrook (24.1 ppg), no Houston player is averaging more than Clint Capela’s 13.9 points per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Eagles/Giants under45½ -110 With a win, the Eagles (8-7) will be NFC East champs. Today, they’ll go on the road to take on the Giants (4-11). The over/under is set at 45.5 points. Philadelphia has struggled with injuries all year, and they’ll be missing both Nelson Agholor and Zach Ertz today.

On average, the Eagles are scoring 23 points per game on 372 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 343 yards. Philly will be without Ertz, who’s the team’s leading receiver with 916 yards and six touchdowns. The next-leading receiver has just 542 yards on the season.

50* Powerhouse Play on Titans -6 -110 The Texans (10-5) have already claimed a postseason place. The Titans (8-7) are still in search of a Wild Card spot. These two teams will go head to head in Houston today. Tennessee put themselves in the thick of the playoff race with four wins in a row, but then dropped a pair of contests over the last two weeks. However, the Titans will be up against a Houston team that’s likely to be resting key players. In that recent run of wins, Tennessee scored at least 31 points in every game. On average, the Titans are scoring 25 points per game on 380 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 379 yards. Ryan Tannehill has been impressive at quarterback for Tennessee. While completing 70.7% of his passes, Tannehill has thrown for 2,544 yards, 20 touchdowns, and six interceptions. With a playoff spot wrapped up, the Texans are expected to rest quarterback Deshaun Watson. That obviously hinders a Houston team that’s won four of their last five. Even with Watson on the field, the Texans haven’t scored more than 24 points in any of their last three games. On average, the Texans are scoring 24 points per game on 383 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 397 yards. Houston will be without the 3,852 yards and 26 touchdowns of Watson if they choose to sit their starting QB today. |

On average, the Saints are scoring 28 points per game on 385 yards of offense while allowing 22 points per game on 354 yards. New Orleans needs another pass catcher to step up and help Michael Thomas. Right now, tight end Jared Cook is the second-leading receiver with 661 yards and eight touchdowns. Offense has been a major issue for a Carolina team that hasn’t won any of their last seven contests. On the season, the Panthers have scored 21 points or fewer eight times. Most recently, Carolina could only manage six points as they were blown out by Indianapolis. On average, the Panthers are scoring 22 points per game on 374 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 394 yards. After a promising start, Carolina quarterback Kyle Allen has completed just 62.1% of his passes for 17 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. |

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Predators -145 While the Coyotes (21-13-4, 46 points) lead a tight race in the Pacific, the Predators (17-12-6, 40 points) are in danger of falling too far behind in the Central. Tonight, these teams will face off in Nashville. Although Arizona enters this evening’s contest on the back of a 5-2 win over Detroit, they haven’t strung two wins together since their first two games of December.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.76 goals per game (23rd) while allowing 2.47 goals per game (1st).

On average, the Cavaliers are scoring 103.9 points while allowing 113.4 points per game. Cleveland doesn’t have the luxury of a big-time scorer.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Siena -5½ -110 The Canisius Golden Griffins (5-5) will no longer be a .500 team after today’s contest against the Siena Saints (3-5).

Surrounding a win over Holy Cross were losses to Hofstra, Florida Atlantic, and Buffalo. Of their five road games, Canisius has only beaten UIC. On average, the Golden Griffins are scoring 70.8 points while allowing 70.6 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Marshall/Central Florida under62 -110 This year’s Gasparilla Bowl will pit the UCF Knights (9-3) against the Marshall Thundering Herd (8-4). The over/under is set at 62 points. UCF finished the year with two straight victories, and they won five of their last six contests.

On average, the Knights are scoring 43 points per game on 536 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 344 yards. Gabriel Davis was UCF’s biggest weapon this year.

On average, the Nuggets are scoring 106.9 points while allowing 101.7 points per game. Denver has to win games with defense because they don’t have a great scorer on the team. Jamal Murray leads the way with only 17.9 points per game. Although Los Angeles owns the best record in the Western Conference, they’ve found points hard to come by lately. The Lakers haven’t scored more than 104 points in any of their last three games, and they’ve failed to top 96 points in two of their last three victories. On average, the Lakers are scoring 112.6 points while allowing 104.1 points per game. Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are dealing with small injuries.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Buffalo/Charlotte under52½ -110 When the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl gets underway, we’ll get to witness the Buffalo Bulls (7-5) go head to head with the Charlotte 49ers (7-5). The over/under is set at 52.5 points. Buffalo ended the year on a high by winning a pair of games against Toledo and Bowling Green. In the latter contest, the Bulls allowed just seven total points. That would mark the seventh time this season that Buffalo would give up no more than 22 points in a game. On average, the Bulls are scoring 31.5 points per game on 397 yards of offense while allowing 22.3 points per game on 293 yards. Kyle Vantrease took over at quarterback less than halfway through the season and led the Bulls to a bowl game, but this team hasn’t often relied on his arm to power the offense. In his seven games this year, Vantrease has topped 200 passing yards just once. Charlotte earned themselves a bowl game by going on a five-game winning streak to close the season. On that run of games, the 49ers held their opponents to 22 points or fewer on four occasions. And despite winning five straight, Charlotte failed to score more than 28 points twice. On average, the 49ers are scoring 31.6 points per game on 423 yards of offense while allowing 32.5 points per game on 389 yards.

Winnipeg last played on Tuesday when they were destroyed in a 6-3 game against Carolina. That was the Jets’ second loss in their last three games while allowing five goals or more in both defeats.
