First day of four with no hockey, so I am forced to turn to a different sport again. Toronto miracle covered the 6.5 last night but lost the game. South Florida +10 -105 @ Temple is our play tonight. Also NBA again Brooklyn +13.5 -105 @ Clippers
January 21
No actual plays yesterday but our hockey suggestions both lost in either overtime or shootout and our NBA play was a loser. Nothing doing again on hockey tonight so I will set money on fire taking Toronto +6.5 and +215. I may take a few days off from posting with hockey on break starting tomorrow but we will see.
One Super Bowl note is that the betting is shaping up a lot like last year where the public numbers clearly pointed Seattle’s way by game time.

Carolina was an easy 4-1 winner last night in Toronto as angry fans threw their Leafs jerseys onto the ice in disgust. Toronto is 1-6 since firing their coach and have scored as often as a bad soccer team of late with 2 in their last 5 games.
Nothing much doing tonight in the 2nd to last day before the all-star break. Ottawa at or around +150 visiting the Rangers is an option for risktakers but I will personally be passing. Nashville visiting Montreal is another option as well as the best game of the evening but will also likely end outside of our range.

No posting from me yesterday as I was traveling. We missed a winner that showed up Saturday night that I didn’t have a chance to check which was the Rangers who won easily at Pittsburgh early on Sunday afternoon. Single play this evening and we’re betting on some entertainment value with Carolina +135 @ Toronto. Toronto hasn’t scored three goals in a game this calendar year and I’ve got this one pegged as a coin flip.
Also an NBA game because I’m an idiot: Chicago +3.5 @ Cleveland

No plays tonight. We effectively pushed on NBA yesterday. Will have a look again tomorrow but hockey looks light again and NFL is probably going to be a pass with Indy and Seattle being the better option for each game.

A very solid 3-1 evening last night in hockey albeit marred by Buatfalo’s embarrassing 7-0 loss. I went back through the season playa today wondering if I had Buffalo too highly rated and its possible given how poorly they are currently playing, but we are positive on them for the year as well as last season.
Two NBA Plays tonight you should not follow because I’m an idiot: Brooklyn +10 and Portland +4.5

Montreal came back to win our only play last night 3-2. Some more upcoming action:
Minnesota @ Buffalo +160 1/2u
Colorado +135 1/2u @ Florida
Montreal @ Ottawa -120
UPDATE: Winnipeg +110 @ Dallas
Jan 14
Two losers last night. Single play so far today Montreal -120 @ Columbus. Flyers may be worth a punt at around 170 or so but I’m not planning on unloading there or anything.
January 13
Very excited here in New York for the Islanders-Rangers affair about to start in 30 minutes or so. It should be the best matchup of the day along with a recovering Tampa at Boston. Islanders +120 may be a play along with Buffalo +175. One confirmed play and that’s in a later game, Ottawa +130 @ Dallas. Updates on the 7:00 games here shortly.
UPDATE: No Islanders/Rangers action other than ‘Will Alain Vigneault raise his voice during the 1st period?’ NO -200, though we would be on Islanders +120 if it were available. Still should be at some friendly sites. Also a likely loser: Detroit @ Buffalo +180

I had nothing bettable yesterday and again today on a light schedule across all sports. The contrarian in me wanted to take OSU +6 because literally everyone including Sean below who is very good all like Oregon tonight. I would have taken them at 7 were it available and there may be some value in OSU to win outright at +200 or so.
Hopefully some action tomorrow.
