Blue Horseshoe Loves…

So I know that I have been absent of late, but I am back with a cross-sport parlay play tonight. So Lets start with the NBA.
Not much going tonight in the NBA. 2 games are slated.

SPURS (+3) @ MAGIC (O/U 192)

The Spurs are coming off a loss at the hands of the Hornets last night.  Ending a 6 game winning streak.  A game they were in through out, boiled down to who wanted it more. The Home team Hornets played harder and smarter and hit some shots down the streatch that enabled them to pull out the victory. The Spurs just got out played in the last 4 minutes. End of story. The Magic on the other hand  are starting a four game homestand. Not that the road treated them bad, going 4-1 over that 5 game span.  Not to mention they won 2 in a row on the road without the big man Howard. Who will be back in the line up tonight.  I think the Magic are going to be pumped to back back in front of the home fans. Not to mention the fans will be cheering the return of Howard. I like the Magic giving and wouldn’t be shocked to see the over.

SUNS (+4.5) @ BLAZERS (O/U 204)

When this line came out yesterday, the O/U opened at 201. At present , it jumped 3 points and is now at 204.  And i still would take the over.  The Blazers and Suns can put points on the board. The Suns are averaging 102 pts per game while the Blazers are just north of 98 pts per game. However, the Blazers average slightly more at home (breaking 100 in 5 of 6 last home games- 3 of 3 in the month of december).  The Suns have lost the last 3 road games they have played, breaking the 100 point mark only once in that span. The closest game being a 115-110 loss to the Lakers. Previous 2 losses where by 10+ pts.  I am not crazy about the -4.5 the Blazers are giving, although I do figure them to get the W.  Looking at the OVER and the Blazers  $ Line.

COLTS (-6) @ JAGUARS (O/U 44)

The Colts can lock up the top Wildcard spot with a win tonight. Despite the 3-4 start to the season , the Colts have since won 7 in a row to keep them in the playoff picture.  Aside from upsetting the lowly Packers, the Jags have been flat out bad at home (2-5).  However, they di win the first meeting of the season in Indy 23-21.  If this was a Sunday afternoon game, I would take the under. But since it is a Thursday Night game and the Colts are motivated, I am inclined to push the over. I could see the Colts winning by 10, but 6 points seems like a big number with Harrison out and Addai a question mark.  The Jags 2 back combo has been cut in half. With Taylor sidelined, Jones-Drew will have to shoulder the load.  I will say,  the under is starting to look better and better.  Still, one can never underestimate Peyton in the regular season crunch.  Questionable in the postseason, as some might say, he is still rock solid in th regular season.  if Manning gets out to throwing, I can see this game being a shoot out. With nothing to play for , but to be the spoiler, expect to see the Jags come out gunning early. If the Jags can stay in the game early, this could turn out to be an entertaing game.  Still to play safe I would go Colts $ line

So goto your favorite and check out the Cross-Sport Parlays.
