Mavericks at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 114, Mavericks 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nuggets (-180) should win, but there is no need to buy them down to the ML when they should cover relatively easily. The Mavericks have been horrible ATS on the road this season and should let up after an impressive win vs. the Suns.

Against the spread

BET NUGGETS -4.5 (-115).

The spread alone tells you what oddsmakers think of the Mavericks away from home. Dallas was a 3.5-point home favorite Monday vs. a Suns team that has the best record in the West and is now a 4.5-point underdog at the Nuggets.

Denver has been great at bouncing back after double-digit losses this season and should do so once again vs. the Mavericks Tuesday. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-110).

Denver plays much better defense at home than on the road. The Nuggets are 26th in defensive efficiency on the road, but their ranking jumps to 11th in the league when playing at Ball Arena.

The Under is 6-1 in Denver’s last 7 home games and 4-1 in its last 5 home games vs. teams with a losing road record.

The Under should hit Tuesday as Denver will have no problem containing a Mavericks team that is due for a let-down loss after defeating the Suns.

2022 World Cup: Portugal vs. Switzerland odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Portugal vs. Switzerland odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup wraps up Tuesday as Portugal and Switzerland meet at Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail at 2 p.m. ET (FOX/Telemundo). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Portugal vs. Switzerland odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Portugal topped the charts in Group H, winning the first 2 matches by a combined 5-2 count over Ghana and Uruguay. As it was through to the knockout stage, Portugal chose to rest some key parts against South Korea, including star Cristiano Ronaldo, and lost 2-1.

Ronaldo apparently took umbrage with being subbed out at 66′ against South Korea, and reportedly shouted at manager Fernando Santos. There are also rumors Ronaldo might be dropped heading into Tuesday’s match. Ronaldo is also making news, as Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr has offered the former Manchester United star a lucrative salary.

Switzerland was 2nd in Group G behind powerhouse Brazil. It won 1-0 against Cameroon in the opener, before falling 1-0 to Brazil on Nov. 28. Rossocrociati rebounded to top Serbia 3-2 to punch its ticket to the knockout stage.

MF Bruno Fernandes has 2 goals and 4 points to lead the Portuguese side, while F Breel Embolo has 2 goals in 3 matches to lead the Swiss.

Prediction

Portugal 1, Switzerland 0

Moneyline (ML)

PORTUGAL (-117) is a solid value to win against a defensive-minded Switzerland (+350) side.

With all of the drama surrounding Ronaldo, the brightest star for Os Nevegadores, it might be tempting to take a flyer on the Swiss. Ronaldo has 8 World Cup goals in his career, but all have been during the group stages. However, Fernandes is arguably the more dangerous player at this point, and he’ll be front and center of the Portuguese attack.

Portugal comes with some risk, though, as it has been to the quarterfinals just 2 other times, in 1966 and in 2006, failing to win in its last 5 knockout stage matches. However, Switzerland has never won 3 games in a single World Cup, and it is sitting on 2 wins currently.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 2.5 (-140) is a strong option here, and not priced terribly out of line.

Switzerland was involved in a pair of 1-0 matches in the group stage, winning 1 and losing 1. Portugal cashed the Under 2.5 goals just once in 3 group stage matches, although the 3rd game can mostly be ignored since subs played a much larger amount with stars getting an extended rest.

It’s worth playing UNDER 1.5 (+180) for a half-unit play, as defenses should reign supreme here as the intensity ratchets up.

First look: Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos Week 14 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Kansas City Chiefs (9-3) head to Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday to take on the Denver Broncos (3-9) in Week 14. This AFC West rivalry kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Chiefs vs. Broncos odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.

After a 5-game win streak, the Chiefs lost 27-24 to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13 — it was their 3rd loss to the Bengals in the year 2022. QB Patrick Mahomes (223 yards passing, 1 pass TD, 1 rush TD) threw for under 300 yards for the 1st time since Week 5, while TE Travis Kelce had an uncharacteristic fumble in the 4th quarter that led to Cincinnati taking the lead.

The Bengals loss was also the Chiefs’ 3rd-straight loss against the spread. The Chiefs haven’t covered the spread since they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 44-23 as 1-point favorites in Week 7.

The Broncos are on a 4-game losing streak, though they covered the spread last week in a 10-9 loss against the Baltimore Ravens as 9.5-point underdogs. Much of Denver’s woes have come from the disappointing performance of QB Russell Wilson who ranks 16th in passing yards (2,558) and 29th in passing TDs (8). Denver’s defense, however, has been among the league’s best, allowing just 17 points per game (2nd in NFL).

A poor offense combined with an elite defense has led to plenty of low-scoring games for Denver this season. The Broncos are scoring just 13.8 points per game, good for worst in the NFL, which has led to Broncos games hitting the Under in total points in 11 of 12 outings this season.

Chiefs vs. Broncos head-to-head

The Chiefs lead the all-time series over the Broncos 69-55 in a rivalry that dates back to 1960. Kansas City is on a 13-game win streak against Denver; the last time Denver beat K.C. was in September 2015 with Peyton Manning as Denver’s QB.

The Chiefs have also covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 matchups against the Broncos. The Chiefs beat the Broncos by a combined score of 50-33 last season, going 1-1 ATS.

Mahomes has had plenty of success against the Broncos since his first NFL start against them in 2017. In 9 games Mahomes has a 253 passing yard average, along with 12 passing TDs, 4 INTs and 2 rushing TDs.

First look: Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants Week 14 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Philadelphia Eagles (11-1) and New York Giants (7-4-1) tangle in a Week 14 contest at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Sunday. The opening kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Eagles vs. Giants odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.

Philadelphia trounced the Tennessee Titans Sunday to earn its 3rd-straight victory. The favored-by-5 Eagles outgained the Titans 453 yards to 209. QB Jalen Hurts threw for a season-high 380 yards and 3 TDs.

The Giants played to a 20-20 tie with the Washington Commanders Sunday. They were 2.5-point underdogs, so they earned the ATS win. But New York is winless (0-2-1) since Nov. 13. The Giants were outgained by 95 yards Sunday; they have been outgained in 6 of their last 7 games.

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

Analyzing Tuesday’s Morocco vs. Spain odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Spain battles Morocco in the Round of 16 Tuesday with kickoff from Education City Stadium set for 10 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Morocco vs. Spain odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Spain finished 2nd in Group E group stage play. They kicked off their World Cup play with a 7-0 win over Costa Rica, then drew Germany 1-1 and lost to Japan 2-1.

Spain’s main attacker is F Alvaro Morata, but their real strength is in the midfield with M Sergio Busquets and M Gavi bringing both experience and energy to this technically-sound lineup.

Spain ranks 7th in the world per FIFA while Morocco sits 22nd.

Morocco won Group F behind 2 wins and a draw. They beat Belgium 2-0 and Canada 2-1 after drawing their first match of the tournament against Croatia 0-0. There main star is PSG D Achraf Hakimi, who was actually born in Madrid, Spain.

Prediction

Spain 1, Morocco 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET MOROCCO OR TIE (+120).

Belgium was a disappointment in group stage play, but Morocco beating them 2-0 almost seems as impressive as Spain thrashing a low-tier CONCACAF side.

Morocco has an underrated amount of high-level competitors with F Hakim Ziyech having 19 goals in 46 caps. Morocco’s strength is in their defenders with Hakimi leading the way.

They have allowed just 1 goal this tournament, and with Spain having adjusted their lineup several times to figure out what works, the technical side will be there but the chemistry may not be.

Spain had a draw and loss against the best 2 teams in their group while Morocco beat the 2nd-best team in the world and then drew the 12th. Morocco has proven enough to bet on them either winning in 90 or heading past full time.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-145).

Morocco has been outstanding defensively, but they also haven’t been great offensively. Morocco scored 2 against Belgium and Canada but failed to tally a goal against Croatia. In their last 2 games, Morocco has 4 goals but just 6 shots on target.

Capitalizing on that rate against Spain won’t be as easy. Outside of their 7-goal performance, Spain has scored just 1 goal per game. They had just 8 shots on target in their last 2 games.

Considering neither side has been a high-pace side with Spain’s technical dominance likely killing the clock, this should be a low-scoring battle. At this value, the UNDER 2.5 (-145) is just a lean.

First look: Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams odds and lines

Looking at Thursday’s Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams Week 14 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Las Vegas Raiders (5-7) will look to make it 4 wins in a row Thursday night when they kick off Week 14 on the road against the Los Angeles Rams (3-9). The game will be at 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video) from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Below, we look at Raiders vs. Rams odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.

The Raiders extended their winning streak to 3 games by beating the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday afternoon, 27-20, covering as 2.5-point favorites. That came after back-to-back overtime wins against the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, getting the Raiders back on track after a miserable 2-7 start to the year. While the defense has struggled, ranking 26th in points allowed, the Raiders have scored the 9th-most points (292) through Week 13.

The Rams lost their 6th-straight game Sunday when they hosted the Seahawks, dropping them to 3-9 and guaranteeing Sean McVay’s first losing season ever as a head coach. They did cover the 6.5-point spread as underdogs, though. QB Matthew Stafford and WR Cooper Kupp remain sidelined on IR, while DT Aaron Donald is also dealing with an ankle injury.

Troy at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

This game will bring another outmatched opponent against San Diego State as the Trojans play just its 7th game against a Div. I opponent this season and is 3-3 against D-I teams. This will be a difficult game for Troy to remain close and the Aztecs should roll.

Troy at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 80, Troy 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Troy is coming cross-country for this game, and it does not bode well for its chances to pull of an upset here. Taking San Diego State -1600 is also not advisable. So just stay way.

Against the spread

BET TROY +16.5 (-110).

San Diego State is the better team. They are not 16.5 points better. After losing 2 games in Maui, the Aztecs barely beat UC-Irvine and followed that with a rout of a school not at the D I level. After such an easy game, San Diego State could come out sluggish in this game. Troy will be able to keep this game within the 17 points needed to cover and Troy +16.5 (-110) is my favorite play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 137.5 (-115).

Scoring 95 points against any school, even a non-Division I school, is impressive. And before that San Diego State averaged 72 points in 3 games against tougher competition in Arkansas, UC-Irvine and Arizona. This Troy team is somewhere in between these levels and 80 points from the Aztecs is not out of the question.

While the Aztecs should get to 80, the Trojans can at least get to 60 in this game. It will not be a pretty game and it will start slow. But by the end of the game, the Over 137.5 (-115) will hit.

First look: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s New York Jets at Buffalo Bills Week 14 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The New York Jets (7-5) visit the Buffalo Bills (9-3) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Jets vs. Bills odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.

After a hard-fought 28-25 Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions, the Bills beat the New England Patriots 24-10 Thursday. The Bills are back atop the AFC East division and the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. This will be key as there is now only one team that gets a first-round bye in the playoffs. This, as well as forcing teams to go through Buffalo in January, is a benefit for the Bills as they hope to run to the Super Bowl behind QB Josh Allen.

The Jets came up just short on their comeback bid against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, losing 27-22. QB Mike White did everything he could, throwing for 369 yards and running for a score to cut the lead to 5 late in the game.

Kent State at Gonzaga odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Kent State at Gonzaga odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Kent State Golden Flashes (6-2) travel to Spokane to take on the No. 18 Gonzaga Bulldogs (5-3) Monday at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kent State at Gonzaga odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

After a 64-63 loss on Friday, Gonzaga has lost 3 of its 1st 8 games for the 1st time since the 2011-12 season. But the losses are to No. 2 Texas, No. 4 Purdue and No. 12 Baylor. The Bulldogs have wins over Kentucky, Xavier, and Michigan State. A game against Kent State might just be what the doctor ordered to get back on track.

After being the latest victim of the Houston Cougars defense in a 49-44 loss, the Golden Flashes got back on track Friday with an 83-68 win against South Dakota State. As 8-point favorites, Kent State also got over the posted total of 146, a rarity for the Flashes who are 2-4-1 over/under (O/U) this season.

Kent State at Gonzaga picks and predictions

Prediction

Gonzaga 85, Kent State 68

Moneyline

PASS.

There is always a chance that Kent State could pull of a massive upset here. Nebraska just beat Creighton Sunday as similar 14.5-point underdogs. But it is not likely and not worth the risk. For Gonzaga, a -1300 is not worth the payout. It is best to just stay away from this line.

Against the spread

BET GONZAGA -14.5 (-115).

Gonzaga has lost 3 games this season against highly-ranked teams. Kent State is far from this level of team and with Gonzaga at home, they will get back on the winning path in a big way and use this game a tuneup for conference play. It won’t be fun for the Golden Flashes, who will be run out of the gym by Drew Timme and the Zags. Take Gonzaga -14.5 (-115) as my favorite play.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 153.5 (-110).

Gonzaga will want to push the pace and keep this game up-tempo. While they will, Kent State may not be able to match the intensity and will slow the game down just enough. Enough to win? No. But just enough to keep this game from hitting the high total of 153.5. Gonzaga routinely has totals this high, but it has only hit the over in 5 of 8 games this season. While it could do so again here, it is going to be tough, and I would rather lean Under 153.5 or stay away entirely.
