Syracuse +7 -105 at 5DIMES |
in 15d |
|
This is a Free #NCAAF play on the Syracuse Orange. The West Virginia Mountaineers were hoping to compete for a playoff spot this season, and Will Grier was won of the favorites to win the Heisman. Finishing the season with back to back heartbreaking losses leaves a cloud hanging around Morgantown heading into Bowl Season. When first asked about the Camping World Bowl, Will Grier said: “I have no thoughts or decisions,” Grier said. “I was planning on playing [in the Big 12 championship]. Just kind of taking it all in, my last game in Morgantown. Wish we would have came out on top, but we left it all out there for the fans.” The Orange are coming into this game with a chance to reach 10 wins, which would be considered a huge success for Dino Babers and company. The last time I bet on the Orange, they lost their starting quarterback early in the first quarter and ended up getting blown out by Notre Dame. Here is what I said prior to that game: "This a team that has already proved it can hang with the big boys, last year they handed Clemson it's only regular season loss. Senior quarterback Eric Dungey has been lighting it up with his arm and his legs. He's got a dozen rushing TDs and 690 rushing yards so far this season. The Orange have covered the spread in five straight non conference games, and they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 against teams with a winning record. I'll take the points with Syracuse." Given the situation, I think the bookmakers are offering a generous number here on the underdog. Take CUSE. GL, Jesse Schule |

NBA | Dec 12, 2018 Raptors vs Warriors |
Warriors -6½ -110 at BMaker |
Lost $110.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the GS Warriors. The Raptors needed overtime and 37 points from Kawhi Leonard to beat a banged up Warriors team at home at the end of November, and the media went nuts. All the talk in Toronto was that this was almost certainly a preview of the NBA Finals. Not so fast my friend! Steph Curry is back, and the Warriors have won four straight by double digits. That includes a 105-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in a very similar "Revenge Spot". This is the second game of a back to back for a Toronto team that hasn't played it's best basketball over the past few weeks. I like the Warriors to win big. Take GS. GL, Jesse Schule |

NBA | Dec 12, 2018 Celtics vs Wizards |
Celtics -146 at pinnacle |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the Boston Celtics. The Celtics are banged up, but they look to extend a six game winning streak in Washington tonight against a struggling Wizards team that might be without John Wall and Otto Porter Jr. The Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last seven versus Washington, and the road team has won three of the last four in this series. Kyrie Irving didn't play in Boston's win over New Orleans on Monday, but he is expected to return tonight. Marcus Morris scored 31 against the Pelicans, and Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum combined for 40 points. Superior depth should bode well for Boston here given the injuries to both teams. Take BOS.

NCAA-B | Dec 12, 2018 Jacksonville State vs Wichita State |
Wichita State -8 -108 at pinnacle |
Lost $108.0 |

|
This is an 8* play on the Wichita State Shockers. The Shockers have failed to impress so far this season, and they are coming off a devestating loss at Oklahoma. After losing 80-48 to the Sooners in Oklahoma City, they should be looking forward to a home game against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks. The Gamecocks lost their first three games of the season on the road, and two of those three losses came in games decided by 15 or more points. The Shockers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games, while the Gamecocks are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Take WICH. GL, Jesse Schule |

Houston -170 at sportsbook |
Won $100 |

This is an 8* play on the Houston Cougars. The LSU Tigers are coming off back to back blowout wins at home over inferior teams, but they face a tough test in their first road game of the season at Houston. The Cougars are 8-0, coming off a road win at Oklahoma State. The Cowboys had previously won by double digits in a neutral site game in Orlando. This is a spot where the Tigers have had trouble in the past, losing three of their last four at Houston. The Tigers are 1-7-3 ATS in their last 11 road games, while the Cougars are 10-4-2 ATS in their last 16 home games. Take HOU. GL, Jesse Schule |

NBA | Dec 12, 2018 Blazers vs Grizzlies |
Grizzlies -155 at BMaker |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the Memphis Grizz. The Grizz are still one of the NBA's best defensive teams, ranking 3rd in the league in opponent's scoring average. Coming off back to back losses, they should be focused on getting back on track at home against a Blazers team on the back end of a back to back. Portland came up just short in a 111-104 loss at Houston last night, and might not have the same energy here in Memphis tonight. Portland isn't great on the road at the best of times, failing to cover in six straight road games. The Grizzlies are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. Take MEM. GL, Jesse Schule |

NHL | Dec 12, 2018 Flyers vs Flames |
Flames -165 at Bovada |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the Calgary Flames. The Flames are in first place in the Pacific Division, and prior to suffering a 1-0 loss to Edmonton on Sunday, they had won five straight. Now well rested, they look good at home against a Philly team that doesn' appear to be a playoff contender this season. The Flyers are in rough shape between the pipes, with starting netminder Brian Elliot sidelined with an injury. That leaves them counting on Alex Stolarz (2-1-1 with a 3.39 GAA) and Micheal Neuvirth (0-2 with a 6.17 GAA). The Flames have won six of their last seven at home, and the home team is 5-2 in the last seven head to head meetings. Take CAL. GL, Jesse Schule |

WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years. Career Highlights: - Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018) - Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017) - Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016) - Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015) - Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014) - Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014) Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored. Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 5-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.2 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to two percent of a player's bankroll. Signature Plays: AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway. The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price. GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk. HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available |
