Christmas Day NBA Picks and Predictions – Knicks Lakers

NBA Featured Game – Christmas Day – New York Knicks at LA Lakers

Merry Christmas everyone.

Christmas is the NBA’s big holiday. The NFL has Thanksgiving, the NHL has a lockout, and baseball has Memorial Day. Sit back and enjoy a full slate of exciting games, particularly the Championship rematch and this fantastic game between the Lakers and Knicks.

Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant are the top two scorers in the NBA. This is the first time in decades that the two leading scorers meet on Christmas day, which is fun in and of itself. Add to it that the  ... 

NFL Picks and Predictions – San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks

NFL Featured Game: San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks – Sunday Night Football

A great divisional rivalry takes place on Sunday Night, and with no Monday Night Football on Christmas Eve, this is the biggest show in town. Vegas has set the line at 0 – it’s a pick’em. No picture, so you’ll have to trust my Z-Code analysis.

Both teams are burning hot, which is typically a no bet for my system.

Z-Code puts this at a 50/50 ML bet, which is a no bet signal.

One parameter puts the Niners as two-star favorites, but other parameters are conflicting – no bet.

Z-Code also recommends a systyem play on a burning hot Seahawks team, which conflicts with the 2-star pick.

Personally, I’m on the 49ers. They’re the better team and the defense should be strong enough to control a rookie quarterback in Seattle. With that said, the Seahawks have a tremendous home field advantage in Seattle. I never bet  ... 

NFL Featured Pick and Prediction: Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions

NFL Featured Game – Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions – Saturday Night Football 12/22

Saturday night’s NFL game features a very interesting game. Originally I was on the Lions. Now I’m on the Falcons. Atlanta can lock up home field advantage with a win. The Lions can prove they’re not as bad as they’ve been with an upset at home. It should be a dandy.

I see value in the Lions. They certainly have the firepower to hang with the Atlanta Falcons. Personally, I think the Falcons’ “amoeba defense” is overrated. As Calvin Johnson chases history, it’s easy to  ...

Cyril KISS program

NBA: Cyril KISS program went 5 Wins, 0 Loss, 1 Push

Funny, Hornets needed every single point and even 0.5 from their handicap +16½ to beat Clippers but stupid Pistons finished exactly with +6 giving us a push

Great day,  ... 

NBA Featured Game: New York Knicks Vs Brooklyn Nets

NBA Featured Game: New York Knicks Vs Brooklyn Nets

I was a bit hesitant to feature this game. Z-Code is on the Knicks and we all know how unsuccessful I’ve been challenging the mighty computer. Still, I’m on the Nets and so are my expert colleagues. The JPM system is on the Nets +6, Damon is on Nets +6 (a great basketball mind in the VIP club), Victor expects a close game. With this much community support, and the value I already saw on the Nets, I have to press this one.

Quoting Vinh from the VIP Club:

NBA Featured Game and Free Facebook $100 Contest: Celtics at Bulls

NBA Featured Game and Free $100 Facebook Contest Game: Boston Celtics at Chicago Bulls

With a spread of less than two points, it looks like we picked a great one for our Facebook competition. No screen shot today (new computer, no software for it just yet), but I’ll explain everything you need to know in text. Voters seem to favor the Bulls, but I’m on the Boston Celtics.

The Chicago Bulls are

 home, but they’re in the second game of a back to back and their offense struggled when healthy. Given the defensive nature of the Boston Celtics and their fantastic coaching and leadership, I do not see the Bulls finding a way to suddenly score against Boston. I trust Boston to contain Chicago’s mediocre scorers, and I expect Boston to play with more energy than a tired Bulls team.

Secondly, Boston has the scoring and the depth to break through the mighty Chicago defense. The Bulls are certainly a  ...

Jeremy Lin Returns to MSG – NBA Picks, Predictions: Rockets Knicks

NBA Featured Game – Linsanity Cometh – Jeremy Lin returns to Madison Square Garden for Houston Rockets at New York Knicks Normally I feature the MOnday Night Football game on Mondays, but I don’t think Jets Titans deserves a feature. The big headline from the sports world this Monday is clearly the return of Jeremy Lin to Madison Square Garden. Will the savior of last year’s season and cause of

 New York’s Linsanity movement be able to knock off the Knicks again? After a convincing win in Houston, it certainly seems like a possibility.The New York Knicks are heating up  ... 

NFL Featured Game – Sunday Night Football: 49ers at Patriots

NFL Featured Game – Sunday Night Football: San Francisco 49ers at New England Patriots  Last week was hyped as the game of the season.  Then the Patriots absolutely destroyed the Texans and talk of the game of the year subsided… it wasn’t even the game of the week.  This week appears to be a similar matchup. The New England Patriots simply don’t lose at Foxborough in December.  I’ll ride the Tom Brady wave to the end of season shore. The Pats have the type of balanced offense that can pick apart the stout 49ers defense.  They’re a top rushing  ...
