100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Seahawks/49ers under48 -110

We’re a far cry from the Pete Carroll vs Jim Harbaugh and Richard Sherman vs Michael Crabtree rivalries of years past, but this evening’s Monday Night Football offering gives us a showdown between two NFC West powerhouses once again. The over/under is set at 48 points.

Behind MVP candidate Russell Wilson, the Seahawks have won five of their last six. Seattle looks good, but the defense has been susceptible, which is why they needed overtime to defeat the Bucs last week.

On average, the Seahawks are scoring 28 points per game on 410 yards of offense while allowing 26 points per game on 392 yards.

As previously mentioned, quarterback Russell Wilson is putting up an MVP-caliber year. Thus far, he’s thrown for 2,505 yards with 22 touchdowns and just a single interception. However, Wilson will be going up against the league’s best defense, statistically.

By allowing 241 yards per game, the 49ers defense ranks first in the NFL. By allowing 12.8 points per game, the 49ers rank second behind New England.

As the NFL’s only remaining undefeated team, San Francisco will be on extra rest after surviving a 28-25 Thursday Night game against the Cardinals. Before last week’s game, the 49ers held their opponents to 13 points or fewer in four straight games.

On average, the 49ers are scoring 29 points per game on 398 yards per game while allowing 13 points per game on 272 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Capitals -185

The Capitals (13-2-3, 29 points) just keep winning. Tonight in Washington D.C., the Capitals will try to extend their winning streak when they host the Coyotes (9-6-2, 20 points).

Arizona has only just recently let the leaders in the Pacific Division create a gap ahead of them. The Coyotes haven’t won a game since November 4th when they beat Edmonton by one. Since then, the Coyotes have lost three straight to the Flames, Blue Jackets, and Wild.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.82 goals per game (20th) and allowing 2.41 goal per game (tied for 2nd).

Darcy Kuemper continues to be one of the better goaltenders in the NHL. Thus far, Kuemper is allowing 2.00 goals per game on a .930 save percentage.

The Capitals currently hold a four-point lead atop the Metropolitan Division. Washington has built that lead with six victories in a row. The Caps haven’t lost since October 24th.

On average, the Capitals are scoring 4.06 goals per game (1st) and allowing 3.06 goals per game (18th).

Throughout their current six-game winning streak, the Capitals have scored 30 goals while holding their opponents to a total of just 17 goals.

50* Powerhouse Play on Samford +9 -110

Both the Samford Bulldogs (1-1) and Belmont Bruins (0-1) are trying to build some momentum early in the 2019-20 season. One team will fail to do so when these team face off this evening.

Samford is just a four-point, double-overtime loss to Morehead State away from beginning the season 2-0. Despite dropping their season opener, the Bulldogs bounced back with a 68-42 victory over KY Wesleyan. Samford put together a consistent performance against Wesleyan, scoring 33 and then 35 while holding Kentucky Wesleyan to 21 in both halves.

The Bulldogs rely on their starters for the majority of their points, but they appear to be up to the task. Against Wesleyan, guard Brandon Austin led all scorers with 17 points. Forwards Robert Allen and Jalen Dupree added another 14 and 11 points, respectively.

Belmont went up against Illinois State in their season opener. Despite jumping out to a 31-23 lead at the half, Belmont ended up losing by seven points to the Redbirds.

In addition to Nick Hopkins’ 12 points from the bench, the Bruins had three starters with 13 points or more. Center Nick Muszynski led the way with 20 points, followed by 17 from Grayson Murphy and 13 from Adam Kunkel.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Rockets -4½ -109

While Houston is figuring out its new star backcourt, they’ve managed to jump out to a 6-3 start. Tonight, the Rockets (6-3) will head into New Orleans for a showdown with the Pelicans (2-7).

With a win this evening, Houston would extend its current winning streak to four games. Against Memphis, Golden State, and Chicago, the Rockets were able to average 118 points while holding their three opponents to an average of 106 points.

On the season, the Rockets are averaging 120.1 points and allowing 118.7 points per game.

It appears that Houston will goes as far as guards James Harden and Russell Westbrook will take them, and that could be a deep playoff run.

Thus far, Harden is averaging 37.1 points and 8.2 assists per game, and Westbrook is averaging 21.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game.

Without first-overall pick Zion Williamson, the Pelicans have struggled throughout their first nine games of the season. Before overcoming Charlotte by five points two nights ago, New Orleans hit a stretch of three straight losses.

On average, the Pelicans are scoring 117.1 points and allowing 122.4 points per game.

In Zion’s absence, Brandon Ingram is leading the Pelicans with his 25.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Celtics -3½ -110

After Gordon Hayward fractured his hand in a collision with LaMarcus Aldridge, the Celtics (7-1) will be without their star big man when they host the Mavericks (6-3) in Boston this evening.

The Mavs have won three of their last four after taking down Memphis by a score of 138-122 two days ago. However, Dallas fell to the lowly 2-8 Knicks the day prior.

On average, the Mavericks are scoring 116.3 points and allowing 111.9 points per game.

The duo of Luka Doncic and Kristapz Porzingis has been the leading force for a solid Dallas team. While Porzingis is averaging 20.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game, Doncic is tops on the team with his 27.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 9.1 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

Although they lost Hayward in the contest, the Celtics were able to defeat the Spurs 135-115 as they extended their winning streak to seven games. On this streak, Boston has scored at least 112 points in five of the seven games.

On average, the Celtics are scoring 113.1 points and allowing 103.8 points per game.

Boston will miss Hayward’s 18.9 points per game, but they can make up with it with three other scorers. While Kemba Walker leads the team with 24.5 points per game, Jayson Tatum is averaging 21.3 points and Jaylen Brown is averaging 18.8 points per contest.

1* Free Play on Towson PK -110

You won’t find a loss on the record of either the Kent State Golden Flashes (1-0) or the Towson Tigers (2-0). Tonight, that will change when these two teams face off.

Kent State opened the year by demolishing HIRAM by a score of 97-58. The Golden Flashes finished off the game with a 57-point second half of play.

With the game out of hand against lesser competition, 13 different Kent State players got minutes on the floor. Phillip Whittington was the only player with 30 minutes of game time, in which he snagged eight rebounds and scored just two points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on DePaul +9½ -110

Having started the year with three games in four days, the DePaul Blue Demons (3-0) have jumped out to a flawless record. Tonight, the Blue Demons will be on the road to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0).

While they haven’t played NCAA Tournament-level competition thus far, DePaul has taken care of business against whoever’s been put in front of them. Through three games, the Blue Demons have won by at least 11 points in each contest against Alcorn State, Chicago, and Fairleigh Dickinson.

On average, the Blue Demons are scoring 75.3 points and allowing 56 points per game.

Thus far, DePaul can boast four players averaging 11 points or more. Charlie Moore has separated himself as the top scorer on the team with 19.3 points per game in addition to his five assists and 2.3 assists per contest.

With an 87-60 win over SIU Edwardsville, Iowa started the season on the right foot. The Hawkeyes were led by center Luka Garza, who earned a double-double with a team-high 20 points and 12 rebounds.
