From another forum....not confirmed by me.

Guaranteed Pick: Ben Burns

Game: New Orleans Hornets at Dallas Mavericks Dec 14 2009 8:35PM
Prediction: under
Reason: I'm playing on New Orleans and Dallas to finish UNDER the total. These teams played a very high-scoring game (114-107 Hornets) against each other a little over a month ago. while that game would have still finished above the total of 189.5, it should be noted that only 194 points were scored in regulation - the other 27 came in overtime. Tonight's o/u line is several points higher and I believe that provides us with excellent value on the 'under.' Even with the earlier meeting finishing above the total, the UNDER remains a profitable 5-2-1 (or 5-3) the last eight times that these teams faced each other. The 'under' has been particularly profitable when they've faced each other here at Dallas. In fact, 10 of the last 12 series meetings here at Dallas have fallen below the number. The Mavericks have seen the UNDER go 4-2 the last six times that they were attempting to avenge an earlier loss. Despite each of their last two games slipping above the number, they've also seen the UNDER go 23-13 the last 36 games in December. The Hornets admittedly played poorly on defense last time out, allowing 113 points at New York. However, they'd seen each of their previous three games finish below the number. All three games stayed below the 194 point mark. Note that they've seen the UNDER go 5-3 when coming off a game in which they allowed 195 or more points. Chris Paul's comments indicate that the team wasn't happy with their defensive effort last time out. He was quoted as saying: "Our defense was unbelievable. We've got to change that. We've had a few games where our defense was good. Friday it was horrible." Even with that result, the Hornets have still seen the UNDER go 21-11 their last 32 December games. While they may not be able to beat the Mavs on their home floor, I expect Paul and co. to bounce back with a much better defensive effort here, leading to the final combined score staying below the total. *9 Blue Chip

thanks thirsty!! were his NHL picks on that page by chance??? that is what i was looking for---but i thank you for posting---ill still give u a point but if u can get the NHL picks that would be great--thanks!!

Wow a whole point. Hurry

Burns is not solid in the NHL. He is DOWN a lot of units in hockey because he lays big chalk all the time. His record is deceiving. You have been warned.

haha...it wasnt the play i was offering points for. i was offering points for his NFL plays. i think the fact that i gave anything was a nice gesture...you dont agree????
and thats interesting to note that he plays all the chalk--thank you for the warning!!

[chase1]

Oh, I see. Yeah it was a nice gesture.

Just be careful with Burns... he carried over his record 9-0 or something close to that from last year's end too. He could win tonight and get hot but history suggests otherwise.

yeah it was great info--i thank you again for the warning!! he surely can go 3-0 or 0-3 and i think none that has to do with his past record. its the fact that his record is misleading a bit....and i will surely use his picks as just a guide rather than blindly following. thanks for lookin out!!!

just curious---who IS solid on nhl!??!

[chase1]

You know I really don't know. I don't follow hockey much I just know about Ben Burns because I took a few of his early on and got burned so I monitor him occasionally now which is why I know about him.

I have heard that Rocketman is pretty decent in NHL and he does pick quite a few underdogs which is where you can make the $$$

[Spaceviews]

CHASE1- Thanks for the heads up concerning Burns. I threw some points your way, hope they help.
BREAK A LEG TONIGHT!!!!!
