Philadelphia is pretty banged up but they still have the ability to stay close enough here vs the Pacers to tonight for us to get the cover. They took a pretty good Knicks side to OT , and despite of losing looked solid. These are pros and emotional letdowns after a frustrating losses are not part of their mo, si Im expected the 76ers to come out here with a valiant effort vs a Pacers side that has been highly inconsistent this season.

The 76ers have won nine of their last 10 night games following an overtime loss.The Pacers have lost four of their last six games as favorites against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.The underdogs have covered the spread in each of the last four games between the 76ers and Pacers.The Pacers have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five home games against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.

NBA Road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points - revenging a home loss vs opponent of 10 points or more, off 2 or more consecutive home losses are 22-4 ATS since 2021.

NBA Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points - off a win against a division rival, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 21-53 ATS since 2021.

 The Pistons  are in redemption mode after a ugly performance against the Indiana Pacers last time out . In this tilt Im betting they do good work on the  inside vs Suns side that has struggled to control the paint during this campaign. The Suns last played Thursday failing to cover as 11 point favs vs the Wizards, winning by a 130-123 count leading most of the way until the 4th quarter when they looked tired. Note:Phoenix in home games after scoring 130 points or more. are 0-9 ATS L/9. Phoenix in non-conference games are 3-12 ATS L/15.Phoenix after 1 or more consecutive wins. are 3-15 ATS L/18.

When the Lions are on extended rest with HC  Dan Campbell, they are 12-4-1 SU and 13-4 ATS and when they are favorites on extended rest, they are  a bankroll expanding  11-2 SU/ATS. So Im betting the rust helps the Lions It must also be noted that Detroits QB when playing in dome games  – 44-21-1 ATS (34-13-1 ATS with Lions) and this season has lefted a scorched earth for his opponents recording  30 TD, 12 INT, 71.6% comp pct, 8.5 Y/A and his Career owns a 118 TD, 42 INT, 68.4% comp pct, 7.7 Y/A mark. Note: Goff and Campbell are 18-2-1 ATS when going against  sides like Washington scoring 24 PPG on average  or more on the season. 

Also I know rookie Jayden Daniels has looked good during his first NFL campaign , but here in this unfriendly dome environment the pressure Im betting will get to him and his over achieving side kicks. Yes, the Lions struggled a bit down the stretch with their D, but  e struggled down they still  ranked second in third-down conversion rate against,  ranking second on fourth down, and seventh in red-zone TD% against. they should not be disrespected.

Play Type: Premium

The Chiefs came out on top 27-19 when the teams met at this venue in Week 16 and Im betting the Texans stay within the margin here for a cover. KC has had issues covering all season long, and with Patrick Mahomes and many of the Chiefs' best players entering the matchup on a two-week break rust could easily end up being an issue.

Visiting Sides in the Divisional round as underdogs in the +3.5 to +9.5 range have have covered at a 61% clip.   Also Home teams scoring an average of  less than 27 points are generally substandard bets cashing just 17% of the time  in the divisional round. Kansas City's regular season offensive output rings in at 22.6 ppg and against a strong Texas D, will Im betting have issues eclipsing their reg season output in this contest, making the Texans a viable wagering option getting points. Note: KC covered just 3 of their 8 home games this season, and from a league wide perspective, Texans  DeMeco Ryans in a road game where the total is between 35.5 and 42 points is a perfect 5-0 ATS L/5 opportunities.

NFLHome favorites like KC- after trailing in their previous game by 14 or more points at the half against opponent after scoring 30 points or more last game are just 3-21 ATS since 2015. Also NFL Road underdogs or pick like the Texans - after a win by 14 or more points against opponent after a loss by 28 or more points are just 3-22 ATS dating back to the 1983 campaign.

SERVICE BIO

Experience & Awards

I have been wagering professionally on sports and horse racing for 30 years. 

My picks have been documented for 22 years.

I was the 2009 NFL Handicapper of the Year in 2009  in a prestigious event.  I won the Ultimate Football NFL Championship in 2006.    

I have been an NBA World Champion with 9 winning seasons the last 11 years.  

I also continue to beat the College Hoops book makers with a high volume attack on a yearly basis. 

Handicapping Approach

I have a firm belief in my systems.  There is not a sport I feel I can not beat.  

My handicapping can be best referred to as the 'The Smart Money Approach". I leave no stone unturned.  I have a large database of information and statistics.  I also take into consideration injuries, current and historical trends, and form.  I also factor in the weather, surface conditions, and line movement.

Sports Betting Is An Investment

Many gamblers offer causal explanations for long runs of good and bad performance.  The same is true of financial analysts.  The records of bettors and investors show the same variable successes and failures. 

Both investment opportunities show significant variables and both can give the investor an advantage.  You need to do the proper research to consider all the facts. If you do so a long term profit is more than attainable.

I think sports betting is even better than the stock market.  The investor/bettor has much more control over his funds. You can take a short break, and almost always know your bankroll has not been untouched.

In the markets you are leaving your 401K and other mutual investments in the hands of a volatile marketplace. Plus, you are being torched for huge handling fees by brokers on individual investments. These fees would make sports book managers drool.

I am not saying it is easy making a living from sports betting. But, the small percent who do consistently beat the books have a much better rate of return than that of any market investor!

This is the outlook I have on every wager I place in the sports wagering markets. I take my portfolio very seriously!

Money Management

To be a successful and profitable sports bettor you must always have a long term goal. Set that standard before you begin.  You need to set aside a fairly substantial bankroll.

If you want to be conservative you would wager no more than 1-2% of your bankroll per game.  No more than 3% on the best bets.

This might seem a little on the low side.  But, this is a long and turbulent battle with the books.  You will be happy that you practiced good money management and frugality.

Here are some additional guidelines I recommend.

1. Shop for your best possible lines (rogue lines) from the most reputable sources.

2. Stay disciplined and do not stray from recommended bankroll allocation on individual wagers. Chasing your wagers never a good idea.

3. Always keep in mind that your bankroll is your life line.  It must be treated the same way you would treat finances allocated for any business venture.

4. Buy off the hook on key numbers.

5. Understanding the importance and the art of middling.

6. Keep a record of all your wagers and results and use them as part of over all statistical data base.

These are some important factors that will help you in your quest for long term profits.

I leave you with a thought from the late great Jimmy the Greek. The house does not beat the player, it just gives him the opportunity to beat himself.

*All selections have the same allocated bankroll %(which equals 1 betting unit).
