Denver @ Chicago 8:05 PM ET Game# 509-510 Play On: Chicago +5.0 (10*) There were lofty expectations for the Denver Nuggets this season after advancing to the 2019-2020 NBA Western Conference Finals. However, they’re off to a rather uninspiring 18-15 start to the season. The Nuggets are also a poor 2-6 in their previous 8 road games. Nonetheless, 1 of those 2 road wins occurred in their previous game during a 126-96 blowout of Oklahoma City. Denver is 0-3 SU&ATS in their previous 3 games following a win. Since the start of the 2018-2019 NBA season, Denver is a dismal 4-16 ATS immediately following a road win by 15 points or more and were outscored by an average of 8.8 points per contest. I love the compete level and improvement the Bulls have shown under newly hired head coach Billy Donovan. Chicago is 5-2 straight up in their last 7 games. During their previous 4 games Chicago is averaging a robust 118.0 points scored per contest and shot a scalding hot 52.6%. Bet on Chicago plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

North Carolina @ Syracuse 7:00 PM ET Game# 839-840 Play On: Syracuse +2.0 (5*) North Carolina is coming off a huge win over then #7 and now #11 Florida State in their previous game. The Tar Heels have bitter rival Duke up next which will be their regular season finale. Sandwiched between those 2 contests is a road game against Syracuse who they just beat recently. This sets up as a classic look ahead or flat spot for North Carolina depending on what phrase you like best. Syracuse is coming off road losses to Duke and Georgia Tech in their previous 2 games. The Orange haven’t lost 3 games in a row all season. Furthermore, Syracuse is 6-0 straight up and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 at home. This is an attractive college basketball situation that favors the home team. Bet on Syracuse for a 5* wager. |

Ross Benjamin has made his reputation in the sports handicapping industry by being one of the sharpest prognosticators over the last 15 years. In professional sports handicapper Ron Raymond’s 2008 published book “50 Greatest Sports Betting Secrets” he probably says it best. “One of the most underrated handicappers in our industry and probably one of the sharpest ones I know is Ross Benjamin.” One of Ross’ often used phrases when speaking publicly, “if you want to be a successful sports handicapper then start by thinking like a bookmaker”. Ross is 61 years old and has been directly involved in many capacities of the sports gaming industry for the last 31 years. However there is nothing he enjoys more than the challenge of picking winners in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA Football, and NCAA Basketball.
