NBA Picks: Portland Trailblazers at Dallas Mavericks

NBA Picks and Predictions: Portland Trailblazers at Dallas Mavericks

Home underdogs are pretty tricky sometimes, and the computer really likes this one. I always trust Dirk, so you can count me in to follow along.

The Mavs are playing well, Portland is far from home, and Dallas is a home underdog with five stars of support from the algorithm, with a 66% chance of winning this game outright.

There is some conflict in the algorithm here. There are some “game winner” stars of confidence in favor of the road team here, but the signal is much stronger on the Mavs.

NBA Picks: San Antonio Spurs at New Orleans Pelicans

NBA Picks: San Antonio Spurs at New Orleans Pelicans

The Spurs may be a little tired, but the Pelicans are struggling mightily right now. Blowout losses to bad teams continue to plague New Orleans as their losing streak grows.

The Pels are simply not playing good basketball, and it’s hard to see them snapping out of it against a team as skilled and well-prepared as the Spurs. San Antonio is hot, and they should handle business in New Orleans.

The spread of -6 is interesting. Z-Code gives it a 61% chance of hitting. The ML seems like a nice play for  ...

NBA Picks and Predictions – LA Lakers at LA Clippers: Z-Code Featured Game

NBA Featured Game – Friday, January 4th: LA Lakers at LA Clippers

The Los Angeles Lakers are a difficult team to figure out. Without Steve Nash, they struggled through the start of the season. Without Pau Gasol, they again fell into a small slump. With their ferocious foursome in place, they’re an elite team in the west. Still, they find a way to fall to teams like the Sixers.

The LA Clippers went on one of the most dominant winning streaks in recent memory, only to see it snapped by back to back losses. Can they respond in a huge  ...

NBA Picks and Predictions – Featured Game for Facebook Contest – Memphis Grizzlies at Boston Celtics, Wednesday, January 2nd

The Memphis Grizzlies were the hottest team in basketball for a few weeks, but have faded into mediocrity.  The Boston Celtics are extremely mediocre this year, treading water in a weak conference.  The Celtics are prestigious, perennial contenders.  The Grizzlies are a young, upstart team with playoff aspirations after last year’s disappointing and speedy exit.  This is sure to be a great game.

NBA Picks and Predictions, Z-Code Featured Game: Clippers at Jazz

NBA Featured Game – LA Clippers at Utah Jazz – NBA Picks and Predictions

I hate betting against the Utah Jazz at home. They always seem to play better, and they never seem to care who they’re playing. The Jazz are 9-3 at home but just 15-15 overall. Making matters worse, they’re getting points.

Still, it’s impossible to bet against the LA Clippers right now, as they’ve won an astounding 15 in a row. Z-Code lends full support, with all parameters in line. Winning systems like JPM are also supporting the Clippers. You cannot bet against this team right  ... 

NBA Picks Competition Update, Z-Code Christmas Week in Review

It’s an ugly day for NBA games, with two bad spreads and no bets on the table for me. JPM is inactive as well. It’s a great time to update you guys on the week we’ve had.

Baromir finished the NFL season up nearly 2,000 dollars, successfully manipulating moneylines on heavy favorites to maintain incredible consistency throughout the year. Because of the volatility of meaningless games in Week 17, the system is now closed after another wonderful regular season of NFL betting. Follow our NFL picks page for all the playoff excitement.

Christmas was extremely kind to us this year. In  ... 

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  ...
