THE CHASE LOUNGE

This play from a source who is on a 12-3 run and pushed on La Tech -6 last night...(write-up is from another source)

Dallas ML+ over VANCOUVER

OT included. After a slightly shaky start, the Canucks have shot up the standings with six straight wins, outscoring their opposition by a sick 19-6 combined. However, a close look reveals that only one team in the group that Vancouver disposed of is currently above .500. That’s not to knock the Canucks. They’re certainly among the elite teams but in this season of parity and unpredictability, the price in this one will dictate the play.

Dallas is coming off a 7-4 loss to the Flames but the score is worse than the performance. Backup goaltender Richard Bachman was simply awful, allowing six goals on 16 shots before getting yanked. Dallas scored four times on 34 shots. Prior to that, the Stars had won five of six games and they’re one of only two clubs to defeat the Ducks this season. Winning in Vancouver is not an easy task but Dallas is a quality club that has scored 17 times over it last five games and that is very capable of defeating anyone on a given night. For this one, the reward outweighs the risk.

Forgot to mention line I saw was Yale -5...

St. Louis continues its road trip and the under is 8-3-6 in the Blues last 17 vs. the NHL Northwest division. They take on a Calgary team that played with electricity the last game, a 7-4 win over Dallas, though they got only 23 shots on goal. When these teams meet its been nothing but defense with the under 8-2 in the last 10 meetings, as well as 18-6-2 under the total in the last 26 meetings in Calgary. Play the Blues/Flames under the total.

Marist +5

Pennsylvania +12

Harvard is getting a little too much respect from oddsmakers tonight. It is on a 5-13 ATS slide as a home favorite or pickem and has defeated Penn by more than 11 points just twice in the last 23 meetings. Penn is 8-1 ATS in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) over the last 3 seasons. It has lost these games on average but only by 6.1 points. Bet Penn.

I tend to bet more plays on my afternoon off, but let's hope it works out with more winners than losers. I have 2 units on the NHL chase with San Jose and I have been putting 2 units on Marc L free plays which today is Princeton -10.

Anaheim ML over DET, OT included. Detroit has allowed 36 goals in 13 games. Not terrible but it does mask a current issue. The Red Wings are allowing far too many quality scoring chances and against this group of sharpshooters it could spell trouble. The Wings aren’t scoring as much as previous years either. They miss the presence of Tomas Holstrom in front of the net in addition to the 30 minutes that Nicklas Lindstrom logged every night for 20 years. For the first time in years, the Red Wings are not a lock to make the playoffs. Because the Ducks play on the West Coast, we’re not sure people realize how good this team really is. 12 games in and the Ducks are 9-2-1. They rank among the leaders in both goals scored and goals against and it’s not like they’ve played an easy schedule either. Anaheim opponents win % sits at .626, making it the most difficult in the league. The Ducks can win shootouts as they did in recent 6-5 and 7-4 wins over St. Louis and Los Angeles respectively. They can win tight games as they displayed in recent 3-1 and 2-1 wins over Minnesota and San Jose. As a pooch against a team that is struggling defensively like the Red Wings, there is nothing but value on this unheralded visitor.

Angle out. GL everyone!

LOCKED AND LOADED:

NBA ALL-STAR GAME O290...GL

Semper, Angle....

 

I can't wait for baseball season guys.

Is McShady gonna be back with us this year?

Check this out boys....if you played the O's for every series including 2 game and 4 game series, and excluding interleague.  The O's were an eye popping  43-3  for a net total of $4,368.00.

That's playing 100, 200,  400.  Not bad!

ASTROS not so good......34-13...  If you played all 2,3,&4 game series you lost $3,441....with two 4 game sweeps costing you $1,500 ea at 100, 200,400,800.chase...OUCH

I would not hold my breath, but I would have my fingers crossed and hoping for the best!

Wow, what a run! You did very well chasing when dogs and small faves and they were dogs when they were in or close to first place at times. Bravo!

Fighting Showalters!

Shady called them the biggest fade in MLB. You did manage to pick your spots and won a couple of times if I remember correctly. They would manage to win 1 game once in awhile, EARLY ON. Later they completely tanked and juice got too high to fade.

Going to the AL, I would think they are in major trouble. With that being said, they should be MAJOR dogs most of the time and picking the right spot would be a large payout on the ML.

Most exciting winner for Friday, Dallas Stars lose starting goalie in first period. His backup Bachman, who gave up 7 in previous start, got behind I believe 3-1 and Stars battled back in 3rd period for a 4-3 win
for a nice large dog payout. Sweet!

I should have said Shady CORRECTLY called the Astros the biggest fade in MLB. With the worst record, their ML on every game would have put you in the hole no matter what.

Looking forward to the MLB season. I have been very busy with my studies, so havent been here much the last couple of months. Will be back in full strength when the season starts again. Great job keeping this place alive. 

Here's another one from Marc L free plays now 25-5 and 17-3 run after winner on Princeton last night.

Wake Forest -3

Note: Head Demon Jeff Bzdelik is another 3rd-year coach that’s tasted little success with his new team. But expectations are higher in Winston-Salem where fans of the tradition-rich program (produced Tim Duncan and Chris Paul among others) are used to getting 20-win seasons and an invitation to the Big Dance. 

That hasn’t happened for Bzdelik, who has seen his team struggle to a 32-55 SU record overall and an unacceptable 9-37 SU effort in the ACC. And even though the school will probably deep-six JB if Wake misses post-season play for a third straight year, the current Deacon squad is in a great spot here to capture a rare conference win. Not only is the series visitor a weak 11-23 ATS, Georgia Tech arrives at LJVM Coliseum in the middle of a Clemson/North Carolina revenge sandwich – and the Jackets are a disturbing 0-9 SUATS before their last nine contests with the Tar Heels. Despite Bzdelik’s lack of SU success, his Deacons are a healthy 7-2-1 ATS at home this year and they’ve gone 12-6 ATS lately as underdogs. The Baptists are also 8-3 SU and 7-2 ATS versus sub .600 opposition this season, plus they’ll be looking to get even with the visitors for an embarrassing 82-62 rout in Atlanta on Jan. 26. The bottom line: there are too many good numbers with an improving host anxious to make amends for that earlier black eye. Deacons reciprocate and make a wreck of Tech.

QBUN, were you "sweating" the over in the first half in the rookies/soph NBA game last night? LOL

The New York Islanders ML are showing good value tonight. As the saying goes, the third times a charm. This will be the third time already, in this shortened season, that the Islanders have hosted the New Jersey Devils. They lost the first two games by a combined score of 5-1. But this time around, the condensed scheduling favors New York. They're coming off of a day of rest, and they've only played one game in the last 5 days. Something you won't see too often this year. The Devils are coming off of an intense come-from-behind victory over the Flyers just last night. They now travel across the river to face a team they've beat 5 times in the last 6 meetings. It's likely that the Devils won't have any "get up" for today's game, especially when they have a much better team in the Ottawa Senators on deck. This scenario is also backed by their recent 4-14 slump against poor home teams (home winning percentages under .400). The New York Islanders are coming off of a 4-3 win against the Rangers. That game ended a 5 game losing streak. And it's worth noting, that the Islanders are 4-2 after scoring 4 goals or better. They're also now 5-2 against teams with a winning record this year. We suspect that New York will be the hungrier team in tonight's contest. And we fully expect that they'll carry over some momentum after Thursday's win against their in-state rival. So we're backing the home team this time around.

Here's a dog that may be worth a shot on MMA on Fuel TV.

Cyrille Diabate +180 over Jimi Manuwa T

This is a matchup of the wily, technical veteran going up against the powerful young newcomer. In what should be a stand up war, look for the crafty Cyrille Diabate (20-8-3) to use his reach advantage and kickboxing to keep Jimi Manuwa (12-0) at a distance. While an impressive 11 of Manuwa’s 12 wins have come by knockout, Diabate has only been knocked out once in his career and that was by Shogun Rua back when stomps to a downed opponent were still legal in Pride. The flip side of Manuwa having so many stoppage victories is that his cardio has looked more and more suspect as the fight wears on. Questionable cardio and facing an opponent with a solid chin and huge reach advantage does not look like a good match up for Manuwa. The veteran Diabate should be fighting a smart fight knowing to avoid and outlast the first round barrage that is coming and then picking apart Manuwa in the later rounds.

Wake Forest has dropped to -2.5 you can buy half pt to -2 if you haven't played already.
