Northwestern at Georgetown odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Northwestern at Georgetown odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Northwestern Wildcats (2-0) and Georgetown Hoyas (2-0) tangle in a Tuesday non-conference game in the nation’s capital. The opening tip at Capital One Arena will be at 6:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Northwestern vs. Georgetown odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Northwestern went 6-2 against non-conference foes last year, but then scuffled its way to a 7-13 finish (T10) in Big Ten play. The 2022-23 Wildcats have been solid on defense in dispatching Chicago State and Northern Illinois. Senior F Robbie Beran has gotten to the free-throw line 17 times in 2 games. He leads the Wildcats in scoring, at 17.5 points per game.

The Hoyas won their Nov. 8 opener against Coppin State 99-89 in overtime as an 18-point favorite. That victory snapped a 21-game losing streak. Georgetown then continued a different kind of streak when, favored by 17, it beat Green Bay 92-58 Saturday. Sophomore G Primo Spears has been the engine for the Hoyas offense, scoring 28 and 21 points in the 2 games.

Northwestern at Georgetown picks and predictions

Prediction

Northwestern 73, Georgetown 71

Moneyline

Not available.

Against the spread

This is a jump in class for Georgetown, and the Hoyas have also likely been shooting a few points over their heads. Some regression spells a setback against an NU side that brings back much of its roster from a year ago and can defend shot attempts to the hilt.

Butler, DePaul, and Marquette are decent Big East comps for Northwestern. The Hoyas went a combined 0-6 against that group last season.

BACK NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS -1.5 (+100).

Over/Under

A 70-something to 70-something contest seems entirely likely. PASS.

Vanderbilt at Temple odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Vanderbilt at Temple odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Vanderbilt Commodores (0-2) and Temple Owls (1-1) are lined up for a Tuesday evening non-conference test in Philadelphia. The opening tip at Liacouras Center will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Vanderbilt vs. Temple odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Vanderbilt lost to Memphis 76-67 on opening night (Nov. 7) and then fell flat in a Friday home game against Southern Mississippi in which it was favored by 16. USM topped Vandy 60-48, and the Commodores misfired their way to the upset loss. Vanderbilt hit just 3 of 25 from 3-point range on a night that saw it shoot 32.8% overall.

Temple opened the season with a 76-73 overtime loss to Wagner, but they bounced back impressively in their next game. On Friday, the Owls topped the favored-by-5 Villanova Wildcats 68-64. G Damian Dunn had 22 points against ‘Nova and has tallied 51 points through 2 games.

Vanderbilt at Temple picks and predictions

Prediction

Temple 69, Vanderbilt 63

Moneyline

Temple is a lean here but only a value play at -185 or better, which it is now. But probably best to just AVOID.

Against the spread

Vanderbilt was not very competitive in its toughest test so far, Nov. 7 vs. Memphis. Temple was very sharp Friday in dispatching Villanova.

The Commodores and Owls met last season (see below). The outcome was a close game, but the inputs over 40 minutes of regulation were decidedly in favor of Temple. Vandy managed to send the contest to overtime because of 2 short bursts.

The TEMPLE OWLS -3.5 (-110) are the value side of this game, but by a relatively thin margin. Consider a partial-unit play, only going all in if it reaches TU -3.

Over/Under

These 2 teams met last season (Dec. 7), and the Over 134 hit. But that was only because the game went into overtime as 24 total points were scored in OT, and Temple won 72-68.

These are a couple slow-paced, veteran teams that are decent in defending the perimeter. They don’t combine for many other facets of play that would make this contest spiral too far past 130 points.

The Under is a definite lean, but PASS on the current total. Look for a total of about 136 before triggering some action on the Under.

Brooklyn Nets at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Brooklyn Nets at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (6-8) play the third game of a 4-game road trip against the Sacramento Kings (6-6) Tuesday. Tip-off from Golden 1 Center is at 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Nets split the first 2 games of their road trip falling 110-95 to the Los Angeles Clippers Saturday and 116-103 to the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday as 5-point favorites. They are 4-3 since firing coach Steve Nash and hiring Jacque Vaughn. F Kevin Durant leads the team in scoring at 30.6 ppg.

The Kings have won their last 3 games and are 6-2 this season since opening with 4 straight losses. Sacramento defeated the Golden State Warriors 122-115 at home Sunday as a 4-point underdog in its last outing.

Nets at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 119, Nets 109

Moneyline

The Kings have won 3 straight and have scored at least 120 in each. They are healthy.

However, since Vaughn took over coaching duties, the Nets have allowed an average of 97.1 points per game — although the Lakers scored 116 in their win Sunday.

The Kings have scored 115 or more in all 6 of their wins this season.

In their 2 matchups last season, the home team won both times.

I like the Kings to win but the better bet is the spread, so PASS on the moneyline.

Against the spread

The Kings are 9-3 ATS and have covered the spread in 4 straight games and in 7 of their last 8 contests.

The Nets, meanwhile, are 5-8-1 ATS this season, although they are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games.

This is a slightly better value than the moneyline.

BET KINGS -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Both teams have seen the Under hit in their games more often than the Over. The Kings are 5-6-1 O/U this season while the Nets are 5-9 O/U.

The Nets have not had a game reach 225 total points in November.

Only 3 of the Kings’ last 10 games have not reached 225.

If you like the Nets to win, you should go with the Under, but since I like the Kings to keep rolling, BET OVER 226.5 (-110).

Winthrop at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Winthrop at Auburn odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Winthrop Eagles (2-1) and No. 15 Auburn Tigers (2-0) tangle Tuesday with the opening tip at Neville Arena at 7 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Winthrop vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Winthrop continues what has been a busy start to the 2022-23 season. The Eagles went 2-1 in 3 games last week. In their last game on Saturday, they covered a 2.5-point line with a 76-68 home win over Middle Tennessee. WU held the Blue Raiders to a 37.5% mark from the field.

The Tigers are coming off solid defensive efforts in winning their 1st 2 games. Friday’s game against South Florida was a test. The Bulls led the game much of the way, but a 2nd-half surge by the host Tigers, a 19.5-point favorite, put them over the top 67-59. Auburn takes the floor Tuesday looking for its 21st consecutive victory on home hardwood.

Winthrop at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 84, Winthrop 66

Moneyline

Peg the true odds being lost in between these prices. PASS.

Against the spread

The Eagles do have more of a history with big-conference foes than you might think. But Auburn isn’t just a top-75 squad. The Tigers have significant advantages in the key rebounding and turnover components of the game. But a 17-to-20-point range seems about right.

AVOID.

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1-1 in the Eagles’ last 7 games against teams with a winning percentage above-.600. Above and beyond that, Winthrop brings back much of a team that a year ago played a handful of games against top-100 types. The results of those games were overwhelmingly in the Over camp. Same thing when the Eagles met Penn State in their Nov. 7 opener: the Over cleared by 17.5 points.

The tempo of this game should be rabbit-vs.-rabbit. BACK THE OVER 146.5 (-112).

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Antonio Spurs (6-8) square off against the Portland Trail Blazers (9-4) Tuesday at Moda Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Trail Blazers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back after losing 132-95 at the Golden State Warriors Monday as they failed to cover as 9-point underdogs. After a surprising start to the season, San Antonio has lost 6 of its last 7 games.

The Trail Blazers endured a 117-112 loss at the Dallas Mavericks Saturday where they managed to cover as 6.5-point underdogs. Portland was on a 3-game win streak before the loss.

Spurs at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 118, Spurs 109

Moneyline

With the Trail Blazers (-340) being heavily favored to win, PASS on wagering on the moneyline. The return you would receive if Portland were to win would be minimal, so it’s not worth the risk.

Against the spread

TRAIL BLAZERS -8.5 (-103) appears to be the ideal bet in this game as they are the superior team. There’s a chance the Spurs elect to rest a few players on a back-to-back, so the spread could expand even more.

The Trail Blazers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss.

Over/Under

Even if the Spurs decided to sit a couple of players, OVER 226.5 (-108) is an enticing wager. San Antonio owns the 3rd-worst defensive rating in the NBA, so plenty of points should be scored by Portland while we’ll just need the Spurs to likely clear a little over 100 points to hit the Over.

The Over is 15-7 in the last 22 meetings between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers in Portland.

Memphis Grizzlies at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Memphis Grizzlies at New Orleans Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Grizzlies suffered a 102-92 loss to the Washington Wizards Sunday where they failed to cover as 1.5-point underdogs. Memphis was without G Ja Morant and G Desmond Bane in the defeat.

The Pelicans defeated the Houston Rockets 119-106 Saturday, covering as 10.5-point home favorites. New Orleans has 6 players averaging double-digit points right now, which goes to show how impressive the team’s depth is.

Grizzlies at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Pelicans 115

Moneyline

I’ll take GRIZZLIES (+125) on the road as Morant is expected to return to the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s game against the Wizards. Memphis has won their last 3 matchups with the Pelicans.

Against the spread

Being that I took Memphis to win outright, I’ll also take GRIZZLIES +3.5 (-110). Even with Bane expected to be sidelined, there’s a chance Jackson makes his season debut and Memphis has a deep roster.

While the Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 road meetings with the Pelicans, New Orleans is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games following a win.

Over/Under

OVER 220.5 (-110) is a fun wager in this game as there should be plenty of scoring from both teams. The Grizzlies and the Pelicans are in the top 11 in offensive rating this season.

The Over is 6-1 in the last 7 games following a win for New Orleans and it’s 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans.

Bowling Green at Toledo odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Bowling Green at Toledo odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Bowling Green Falcons (5-5, 4-2 MAC) meet the Toledo Rockets (7-3, 5-1) Tuesday at Glass Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Bowling Green vs. Toledo odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Bowling Green suffered a crippling 40-6 loss Wednesday against Kent State, and it no longer controls its own destiny in the East Division. The Falcons are a game back of Ohio, although they get a crack at the Bobcats on Nov. 22. The good news for the Falcons is that they have won both conference road games so far.

The Rockets have won 2 games in a row, and 5 of the past 6 games overall. Toledo has already clinched the West Division title, and a spot in the MAC Championship Game in Detroit in early Dec. Technically, it’s possible these teams could face each other again then.

The Rockets lead this all-time series 42-40-4, including 11 of the past 12 in the Battle of I-75. Bowling Green’s last victory in the series was Oct. 12, 2019, and its most recent win in Toledo came on Nov. 28, 2008.

Bowling Green at Toledo picks and predictions

Prediction

Toledo 31, Bowling Green 23

Moneyline

Toledo (-750) will cost you more than 7 times your potential return, and that’s risky busy in a rivalry game. In addition, the Rockets already have a spot locked up in the MAC title game, so it remains to be seen how hungry they are. Meanwhile, Bowling Green still has plenty to play for, including needing one more win for bowl eligibility, with an outside chance of locking up the East Division.

PASS.

Against the spread

BOWLING GREEN +14.5 (-109) is rather attractive catching more than 2 touchdowns, although it’s been rather lopsided in this series lately with Toledo winning by at least 32 points in each of the past 2 meetings.

So, there is some risk here in taking the Falcons. However, as mentioned above, Bowling Green still has a lot to play for, in addition to the pride of a rivalry game, while Toledo is simply working to play spoiler here, with a spot locked up in the MAC title game. How hungry will the Rockets be, and is there a chance some key players are rested or held back so injuries do not occur? That’s also a real possibility.

Over/Under

OVER 50 (-111) is the play here.

The Over has cashed in 4 contests in a row on the road for Bowling Green and has hit in 6 of the team’s past 8 appearances on a Tuesday night.

The Over has cashed in 7 of the past 10 games inside the conference for Toledo, while going 9-1 in the past 10 games following a straight-up win.

There is some risk here, however, as the Under is 11-4 in the past 15 meetings in this rivalry, with the Under is 5-2 in the past 7 battles in Toledo.

Sharks at Golden Knights projected goalies

James Reimer (4-5-2, 2.88 GAA, .908 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Logan Thompson (8-2-0, 2.31 GAA, .925 SV%, 2 SO)

Reimer has won back-to-back starts, including a solid 28-save effort in a 3-2 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday. He allowed 4 goals on 31 shots in the Oct. 25 meeting at home against the Golden Knights.

The rookie Thompson has done a great job so far, allowing 3 or fewer goals in 8 of his 10 starts. The wheels have come off a little lately, allowing 11 goals on 112 shots in the last 3 games, but he has still won all of the outings.

Sharks at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Sharks 2

Moneyline

The Golden Knights (-260) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward. Even in a multi-team parlay there is just not a lot of value playing Vegas here.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (-108) are a much better value at this price.

The Golden Knights have won by 2 or more goals in 7 of their last 11 wins, including the 4-2 road win in San Jose on Oct. 25 behind Adin Hill against Reimer.

Vegas has won 14 of the last 17 games while going 5-2 in the last 7 at home and cashing in 8 of the last 11 against Western Conference foes.

The Sharks +1.5 (-112) have won just 1 of the last 6 meetings in Las Vegas, while going 8-21 in the past 29 meetings with the Golden Knights.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-117) is a great play, as Reimer has been serviceable enough, and Thompson has been locking it down.

Minnesota Wild at Nashville Predators odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Minnesota Wild at Nashville Predators odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (7-6-2) and Nashville Predators (6-8-1) meet Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wild vs. Predators odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Wild were tripped up 3-2 in a shootout against the San Jose Sharks at home Sunday. That splashed cold water on a modest 2-game win streak. Minnesota has had a power outage on offense lately, tallying just 7 goals across the past 5 outings, with 4 of them coming Wednesday at the Anaheim Ducks.

The Predators surprised the New York Rangers 2-1 last time out on Saturday as the Under cashed. The Preds are showing some signs of life after a slow start, winning 3 of their last 5 outings. The offense has picked up the pace with 3.0 goals per game (GPG) across the past 6 contests.

After getting pulled in Seattle in the 1st period, yielding 4 goals on 6 shots, he bounced back in a big way. Saros turned aside all but 1 of the 35 shots he faced in a 2-1 victory against the Rangers Saturday.

Wild at Predators picks and predictions

Prediction

Predators 4, Wild 2

Moneyline

The PREDATORS (-105) picked up a very nice win over the Rangers last time out, and we’ll see if they can use it as a springboard going forward.

Nashville might be able to stay hot against the Wild, as it is 8-1 in the past 9 home games against Minnesota while going 10-2 in the past 12 meetings overall. The home team is also 13-5 in the past 18 meetings in this series, so all of the trends point to Nashville.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Predators +1.5 (-280) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return if you don’t trust Nashville straight up and would like a little insurance. That’s just too risky and a terrible play. If you like the Preds, just play them straight up for a much better value.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-135) is where it’s at, especially since Minnesota has struggled to light the lamp lately.

The Wild have cashed the Under in 6 in a row while going 5-0 in the past 5 against Western Conference teams. The Under is also 6-1 in the past 7 on the road.

The Under has hit in 5 of the past 7 games at home for the Preds, while going 5-1 in the past 6 following a win.

Capitals at Panthers projected goalies

Darcy Kuemper (5-7-1, 2.63 GAA, .911 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Sergei Bobrovsky (3-4-1, 3.29 GAA, .897 SV%)

Bobrovsky conceded 5 goals on 39 shots last time out in Los Angeles on Nov. 5. He has allowed 3 or more goals in 7 straight starts, winning just 2 of the outings. Bob was 1-1-0 with a 3.36 GAA and .887 SV% in 2 starts against Washington last season.

Capitals at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 4, Capitals 3

Moneyline

The Panthers (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s too risky, especially for a team with a goaltender so giving like Bobrovsky.

AVOID.

Puck line/Against the spread

The CAPITALS +1.5 (-150) are not priced out of line if you’d like a little insurance and can’t pull the trigger to play them straight up.

Washington is 5-2 in the last 7 on the puck line when an underdog. The Capitals are 2-7 in the last 9 tries against teams with a winning record, while cashing in 2 of the last 10 games on the road.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-120) is the best play on the board.

The Over has cashed in 11 of the last 14 meetings between these teams, including 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Sunrise.

And while the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 at home for the Panthers, the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 against teams with a losing overall record.
