Canadiens at Senators projected goalies

Sam Montembeault (5-2-2, 2.97 GAA, .908 SV%) vs. Cam Talbot (6-7-0, 2.55 GAA, .917 SV%, 1 SO)

Montembeault was smashed for 7 goals on 32 shots in a 7-6 overtime loss in Vancouver last time out on Dec. 5, snapping a modest 2-game win streak. He has allowed 3 or fewer goals in 7 of his 9 starts overall.

Talbot streaks in with 2 wins in a row, and a 3-1-0 record with a 2.49 GAA and .912 SV% with a shutout in 4 December starts.

Talbot has been shockingly bad at home, going 5-2-0 with a 2.16 GAA and .928 SV% in 7 road outings but just 1-5-0 with a 2.94 GAA and .905 SV% in 6 home starts. Of course, he crushed those splits with the shutout last time out at home against Anaheim.

Canadiens at Senators picks and predictions

Prediction

Senators 3, Canadiens 2

Moneyline

The Senators (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s risky business anytime, but especially when we’re talking about the sub-.500 Ottawa Senators.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

The CANADIENS +1.5 (-160) are a decent play behind Montembeault, despite the fact he is coming off a terrible performance. That’s actually the reason to back him.

Fade Talbot instead, as he had the shutout last time out, and is due for another stinker. He has really struggled overall at home, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is a decent play despite the fact the Over is 3-1-1 in the past 5 meetings in this series.

The Under has dominated lately for both sides. It’s 12-3 in the past 15 games for the Senators and 5-2 in their last 7 games at home.

The Under is 7-2 in the past 9 games overall for the Habs while cashing at a 10-4 clip in the past 14 games on the road.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (17-11) meet the Dallas Mavericks (14-13) Wednesday at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Tip is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cavaliers vs. Mavericks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Cavaliers were tripped up 112-111 in San Antonio to kick off a 2-game road trip to the Lone Star state. The good news is that Cleveland welcomed leading scorer G Donovan Mitchell back from injury, as well as F Kevin Love.

The Mavericks racked up a 121-114 win over the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder Monday, snapping a 2-game losing streak. Overall, Dallas is 4-2 straight up in the past 6 games, while going 3-2-1 against the spread (ATS) during the span. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games, too.

Cavaliers at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 106, Mavericks 103

Moneyline

The CAVALIERS (+110) are worth playing as short ‘dogs on the road, as they look to bounce back after falling against the Spurs in the front end of the Texas 2-step.

The Mavericks (-130) have won just 5 of the past 12 games overall, and they’re just 4-7-1 ATS during the span, too. It’s a great spot for a bounce-back for Cleveland.

Against the spread

The CAVALIERS +2.5 (-115) are a decent play if you think this will be a one-possession game in favor of the Mavericks. However, if you like Cleveland, it’s a better value to play it straight up.

Over/Under

UNDER 213.5 (-105) is the best play in this battle in the Metroplex.

The Cavs hit a rare Under in San Antonio, allowing 112 points to the Spurs, of all teams. Cleveland is the No. 1 scoring defense in the NBA, yielding just 105.1 PPG. It entered San Antonio on an 8-0 Under run.

The Mavs rank 7th in scoring defense, allowing just 110.1 PPG, and they are 19th in offense with 111.9 PPG. Look for this to be a more defensive battle.

The Portland Trail Blazers (15-12) meet the San Antonio Spurs (9-18) Wednesday at AT&T Center in San Antonio. Tip is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Trail Blazers vs. Spurs odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Trail Blazers swept a back-to-back set against the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday (124-118) and Monday (133-112), and are 4-1 straight up in the past 5 games overall while covering the spread in each of the outings. The Over has cashed in 3 straight, too.

The Spurs snuck by the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday, winning 112-111 as 9.5-point underdogs. San Antonio has won 3 straight games, all as an underdog, and it has been a ‘dog by 9.5 or more points in the last 2 of those games.

Trail Blazers at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 122, Spurs 112

Moneyline

The Trail Blazers (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s too expensive even though Portland has been on a roll lately.

The Spurs (+210) cannot be trusted, however, even though San Antonio has won a couple of games lately as a big underdog, especially due to a handful of injuries.

PASS.

Against the spread

The TRAIL BLAZERS -6.5 (-110) have covered 5 in a row while going 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games on the road.

On the flip side, the Spurs have covered just 3 of the past 12 games overall and have cashed just 2 of the previous 7 at home. The Spurs are also 2-5 ATS in the past 7 against teams with a winning overall mark.

Over/Under

OVER 232.5 (-105) is the play in this Hump Day battle down south.

The Over has cashed in 8 of the past 11 meetings in San Antonio. The Over is also 12-4-1 in the past 17 games against winning teams for the Spurs.

There are a handful of trends that point to the Under for the Blazers, although the Over is 5-2 in the past 7 games overall while going 4-1 in the past 5 games on a single day of rest.

Detroit Pistons at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Detroit Pistons at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Pistons (7-22) meet the Charlotte Hornets (7-20) Wednesday at Spectrum Center in Charlotte. Tip is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pistons vs. Hornets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Pistons have dropped 3 games in a row since a stunning 116-96 win at the Miami Heat back on Dec. 6. Last time out Detroit suffered a 124-117 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers as the Over (233.0) hit, snapping a 3-0 Under run.

These teams are a mirror of each other, as the Hornets are 4-9 at home, and the Pistons are 4-9 at home. The Pistons are 3-13 on the road, and the Hornets are 3-11 on the road.

Charlotte enters this game on a 5-game losing streak, and it has failed to cover the spread in the past 2 outings. It lost 131-113 at the Philadelphia 76ers as an 11-point underdog as the Over (220.5) hit. The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Hornets.

Pistons at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Hornets 115, Pistons 111

Moneyline

The HORNETS (-140) are moderate favorites, and they’re the play here in a battle of 2 teams that are nearly identical. We should have a very close battle in Buzz City.

The difference here might be Charlotte’s ability to defend the 3-pointer, as it is holding the opposition to just 34.8% from behind the arc, 11th in the NBA.

In true identical fashion, while Detroit struggles shooting the triple, it is also rather solid at 34.9% at defending them to rank 13th in The Association.

Against the spread

The HORNETS -2.5 (-115) are worth playing, as someone has to win and cover in this battle of 7-win teams.

The Hornets are 4-1-1 ATS in the past 6 games following a non-cover, while going 6-2-1 ATS in the past 9 games after a straight-up loss.

In addition, while the Pistons have been decent on the road lately, they’re just 4-12 ATS in the past 16 meetings, while going 4-10 ATS in the past 14 trips to the Queen City.

Over/Under

OVER 225.5 (-115) is the lean here.

The Under is 4-0 in the past 4 games on the road for the Pistons, but the Over is 9-3 in the past 12 on the road against teams with a losing home record.

The Over has hit in 5 of the past 7 games overall for the Hornets while going an impressive 9-1 to the Over in the previous 10 when playing on 2 days of rest. The Over is also 4-0 in the past 4 for Charlotte after a non-cover.

– All games Sunday and ET unless noted

The chalk: Kansas City Chiefs

Who they play: at Houston Texans – 1 p.m. (CBS)

We took Dallas against the Texans last week and it almost cost us. I do not see lightning striking twice. Especially with Dameon Pierce being downgraded to doubtful for this game.

If Pierce does not play, it will be hard for Houston to get anything done on offense. Brandin Cooks and Niko Collins missed last week. If both top receivers miss Week 15, the Texans will have no way to move the ball.

The Texans defense is young and they do not have the power to hold up to the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. This game could get ugly quickly and coast to the end. We wish high school rules applied and we could get a running clock for the 2nd half. Kansas City is my favorite NFL Survivor Pool play in Week 15.

Off the board: Cincinnati Bengals

Who they play: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 4:25 p.m. (CBS)

Tampa Bay looked terrible in a 35-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and Brock Purdy on Sunday. In only his 2nd game ever in the Bay Area where he grew up, Tom Brady looked like a 45-year-old QB again, something which has been happening far too often this season. Brady played his 1st game in the NFL before Purdy was even born

Coming back home to Tampa Bay will be good for the Buccaneers, but having to face the suddenly hot Bengals will not be a happy homecoming.

Despite losing WRs Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd early in Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Cincinnati still won 23-10. Ja’Marr Chase had 10 receptions for 119 yards and 1 TD.

Joe Burrow has shown in recent weeks and in the past 2 years that he has a different demeanor then most. Joe Cool brings his game up a notch at the end of seasons and into the playoffs. With Tampa Bay on the down slide and the Bengals peaking at the perfect time, Cincinnati will go into the pirate ship and come out with its own booty. A win.

Celtics at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 117, Lakers 113

Moneyline

BET CELTICS (-155).

Boston has been great on back-to-backs, and I doubt the league-leading Celtics will drop a 3rd straight game. The Lakers seem to only win against sub-.500 teams, so Boston should be able to bounce back on national television.

Against the spread

PASS.

This spread is right where I would put it and I believe the cover will come down to garbage-time free throws. I will only be betting the ML and the total.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 235.5 (-110).

The Under is 5-0 in Boston’s last 5 games and should hit again Tuesday. The total is set so high because the Lakers have been averaging 123.3 points in their last 9 games, but I believe Boston will tighten up defensively and play a slower-paced game as it tries to end its road trip with a much-needed win.

First look: New England Patriots at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s New England Patriots at Las Vegas Raiders Week 15 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The New England Patriots (7-6) visit the Las Vegas Raiders (5-8) Sunday in Week 15. Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Patriots vs. Raiders odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.

The Patriots positioned themselves back in the final AFC wild-card seed with a 27-13 victory at the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. New England covered as a 2-point favorite to halt a 2-game against the spread (ATS) losing skid. The Under (44) connected for the 5th time in its last 6 games. New England employed a relentless pash rush en route to 6 sacks, led by LB Josh Uche with 3 and LB Matthew Judon with 1 1/2.

The Raiders had a 3-game win streak snapped with a 17-16 loss at the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football, failing to cover as 6-point favorites. QB Derek Carr was held to just 137 passing yards (11 of 20) with 2 INTs. RB Josh Jacobs continued to be a force out of the backfield with 99 yards and a TD on 27 carries, but had a 3-game streak with at least 100 rushing yards snapped.

2022 World Cup: Morocco vs. France odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Morocco vs. France semifinal match odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 2nd seminfinal matchup of the 2022 World Cup has Morocco and France meeting Wednesday at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor at 2 p.m. ET (FOX/Telemundo). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Morocco vs. France odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Morocco pulled off a stunner Saturday in a 1-0 quarterfinal win against Portugal. The entire Iberia Peninsula isn’t a fan of the African nation, and Morocco also ousted neighbor Spain in the Round 16 on penalty kicks.

The Atlas Lions are easily the Cinderella of this World Cup, scoring just 5 goals while conceding only 1 goal in 5 matches. They are 24th in the FIFA world rankings.

France, the defending champions and No. 3 team in the world, showed England the door with a 2-1 win in the quarterfinal. Les Bleus has been much more prolific on offense, registering 11 goals, with at least 2 markers in 4 of the 5 matches.

Kylian Mbappe is vying for the Golden Boot as top scorer with 5 goals in 5 matches, and he has tacked on 2 assists. Teammate Olivier Giroud is right on Mbappe’s tail with 4 goals in 4 matches.

Argentina and Croatia play the 1st semifinal match on Tuesday.

Prediction

France 1, Morocco 0

Moneyline (ML)

Morocco has been doing a tremendous job in this tournament, especially defensively. But this isn’t a side which has shown an ability to score, and that’s not good against Les Bleus. The miracle run is coming to an end in the semifinal against the defending champs, and that’s nothing to be ashamed about.

While France (-190) is a little on the expensive side, a play in the Double section with FRANCE AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS (+185) for a chance to nearly double up is too hard to pass up.

In addition, FRANCE TO WIN WITH A CLEAN SHEET (+105) is also a solid play at plus-money.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-150) is a little on the pricey side, but if you like to play it safe, that’s the way to go.

Memphis at Alabama odds, picks and predictions

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

The Memphis Tigers (8-2) visit the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide (8-1) for a Tuesday non-conference affair in Tuscaloosa. The opening tip at Coleman Coliseum will be at 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Memphis vs. Alabama odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Memphis is coming off an 82-73 win over Auburn on a neutral floor Saturday. Veteran UM was a +1.5 underdog but shot 50% in dispatching AU and has shot 52% from the floor over its last 2 games. The Tigers carry a 6-game win streak into Tuesday.

The Crimson Tide took down then-No. 1 Houston 71-65 Saturday. The 9-point underdog UA five trailed the whole 2nd half until the final 2 minutes. The victory marked Alabama’s 3rd in a row, and those 3 wins were against North Carolina, recent top-25 San Diego State and the top-ranked Cougars.

Memphis at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 75, Memphis 71

Moneyline

Alabama’s win over Houston — coupled perhaps with an earlier high-visibility win over North Carolina (Nov. 27) — has the Tide perhaps a bit overvalued here. This youthful UA squad got to the free-throw line 32 times in its win Saturday.

With this game being sandwiched between Houston and Gonzaga on the schedule, perhaps the home side looks past a veteran, consistent and defensive Tigers team.

Consider a split bet on the TIGERS (+240), putting a third of a unit on the moneyline and two-thirds against the number. Maybe Memphis doesn’t win, but its payoff here is worth some investment.

Against the spread

Alabama is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games following an ATS win.

These two teams met last season in Memphis (Dec. 14), and the Tigers leveraged solid rebounding and 19 UA turnovers in a 92-78 triumph. Look for this year’s game to be a 1-to-2-score battle down to the wire.

TAKE MEMPHIS +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

These teams play fast but their defenses are quick. Quick beats fast. Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 152.5 (-110).

First look: Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers odds and lines

Looking at Monday’s Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers Week 15 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Los Angeles Rams (4-9) and Green Bay Packers (5-8) wrap up Week 15 with a Monday Night Football showdown at Lambeau Field. Kickoff will be at 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at Rams vs. Packers odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams snapped their 6-game losing skid with a 17-16 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football in dramatic fashion. QB Baker Mayfield led a 98-yard game-winning drive with under 2 minutes to play to give the Rams the win in his first game with the team.

Los Angeles is still missing QB Matthew Stafford and WR Cooper Kupp, so its been shorthanded for part of the season, but Mayfield provided a spark with a win 2 days after being claimed off waivers.

The Packers were off for their bye in Week 14, so they come into this one well-rested. Green Bay snapped a 2-game skid with a 28-19 victory over the Chicago Bears 28-19 in Week 13. It’s lost 7 of its last 9 games after starting the year 3-1, falling to 3rd in the NFC North behind the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
