6* W ido w W iseg uy N F L Saturday G AM E OF THE Y EA R on Dallas Cowboys +8(-120 at sportsinteraction)
New Orleans has been escaping with wins the last two weeks, beating the Redskins and Falcons each by 3 points. The Cowboys have only lost one game all season by more than 7 points, and that came by 10 at Green Bay due to 3 turnovers. But Dallas is not prone to making mistakes, as they've committed just 1 or less turnovers in 6 of their last 8 games. The Cowboys will be up for this game to prove their doubters wrong Saturday, and to put an end to the Saints' perfect season. If New Orleans is to win Saturday, they will have to escape with a victory because Dallas isn't going to fold with what's at stake. New Orleans has been thriving off of turnovers defensively, but their numbers aren't all that great. They give up 348 total yards/game this season against teams putting up an average of 329 yards/game, so really this is a below-average defense. The Saints are 5-17 ATS (-13.7 Units) in their last 22 home games after allowing 6.5 or more yards/play in their previous game. New Orleans is 4-13 ATS (-10.3 Units) in their last 17 games off an extremely close road win by 3 points or less. The Cowboys are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. The Saints are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. These last two trends add up to a 14-1 (93%) ATS Angle in favor of a Cowboys' cover Saturday. Take Dallas and the points.
5* W iseg uy St. Petersburg Bowl B LO OD B AT H on Rutgers -2.5(-110 at bookmaker)
Rutgers is upset with how they finished their season, losing a 3-point heartbreaker to West Virginia. They'll come in the hungrier team after UCF finished the season with 3 consecutive victories. The Scarlet Knights have the better team, and certainly the better defense as they allow just 17.4 points/game this season against opponents that averaged 22 points/game this year. Rutgers has also played their best football on the road, going 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS away from home this season. The UCF Knights are 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 vs. Big East opponents. Rutgers is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Conference USA foes. With Rutgers having played the tougher schedule against a much tougher conference in the Big East, they have a big edge going into this one. We strongly feel the Scarlet Knights will be the more motivated team Saturday as they look to bounce back from a loss in their regular season finale. Take Rutgers and lay the points.
4* on Sacramento Kings +6.5(-106 at 5dimes)
Once again, the odds makers are not giving the Sacramento Kings the respect they deserve. They find themselves a big underdog against a Milwaukee Bucks team that is just 3-10 in their last 13 games overall. The Bucks expended a lot of energy last night in their 82-85 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on National TV. This is a letdown spot for the Bucks after playing on ESPN and coming up short against Cleveland last night. The Kings got crushed by Minnesota last night, but because it was such a bad loss, they had a chance to rest their starters in the 4th quarter. Sacramento comes in the fresher team with more to prove tonight. Sacramento is a PERFECT 10-0 ATS (+10.0 Units) in road games against Central division opponents over the last 3 seasons. Take the Kings and the points.
