10* Washington (7:05 ET): The Wizards have definitely had their share of struggles (especially on the defensive end) to start the year, but I don't think the Sixers should be laying this many points. They may be undefeated at home (10-0!), but Philadelphia has gone just 5-6 on the road. They have given up more points than they've scored on the road and while they'll enter tonight on a four-game winning streak, three of those four wins were by six points or less. Take the points. Washington obviously needs to get its act together defensively if it wants to be taken seriously. They are allowing 122.9 points per game, which is easily the most in the league. That would also be the most points allowed per game by any team since the 1980's. Incredibly, there have already been seven games this season where the Wizards scored 120+ pts and LOST! Despite this, they make for a good underdog by averaging 118.9 PPG, third most in the NBA. Bradley Beal leads the way by averaging 28.9 PPG himself. The Wiz are 2nd in the league in offensive efficiency. Philadelphia will then obviously need to score a lot to cover the spread tonight. While Washington's defense is definitely questionable, there's been only one time all season that the 76ers have scored 120+ in a game. Over the L5 games, they are averaging just 103.2 PPG. There have been two previous times when Washington has lost three in a row. Both times they won and covered the next time out. Bottom line is they'll score enough to cover the number here. 10* Washington |

10* Under Cowboys/Bears (8:20 ET): Both teams are 6-6 SU, which seems crazy given the negativity surrounding the respective franchises. I faded Dallas on Thanksgiving, citing the rather toxic situation that exists between coach (Jason Garrett) and owner (Jerry Jones) right now. Sure there's plenty of talent on the field. The Cowboys also boast the league's 5th best point differential (+74). But that's largely been undone by the fact they are also 0-4 SU in games decided by 7 pts or less, a stark contrast to last season when they were a league-best 9-2 SU in that situation. Chicago won 12 games last season (and the division), making them one of the favorites in the NFC coming into 2019. QB Mitch Trubisky was even getting consideration as a potential MVP candidate by bettors, which is downright laughable in retrospect. But the Bears have regressed badly, which really isn't all that shocking and it's easy to pinpoint why. The offense, Trubisky in particular, have been BRUTAL. They come in averaging just 17.7 PPG, which is 27th in the league and none of the teams that rank below them have more than four wins. Luckily, they also have a defense that is allowing 17.3 PPG (4th best). The 24 pts scored by the Bears last week in the win over Detroit actually marked a six-week high for them. I had the Over, but the number was really low thanks to the Lions' iffy QB situation. Considering Chicago has scored more than 25 pts only only time all season - and it was Wk 3 on a terrible Washington team - I'd say they aren't much of a threat to score a ton of points Thursday night. Dallas is only allowing 19.7 PPG. As for the Cowboys' offense, despite all that talent, they've scored all of 24 pts the L2 games combined. Granted, that was facing two of the top three scoring defenses in the NFL, but as stated above, the Bears rank 4th in that department. 10* Under Cowboys/Bears |
