2Teamer O' the Day - December 2008

Let's give this a fresh go

back later with Update on the Oct and Nov 2ToD threads and related math

=======

WEDNESDAY, Dec 17

CHICAGO BULLS -150 vs LAClippers
NEW JERSEY DEVILS +145 at Buffalo

Lay 7
Pays 21.58
-------------

Already noted my support for NJ +0.5 in my Frozen Pond thread, but I like the price moving my way now (from earlier +125)

Meanwhile, Chicago coming Home After an Away game has seen the home result run counter to the previous Away in 18 of past 20 chances.

Given they lost last night in a road OT, we'll look for them to reverse back a bit here versus a lesser team in LAC and grab the SU win, though we do expect a close battle based on a respected capper I follow having selected LAC +3.5

SATURDAY, Dec 20

DENVER NUGGETS +5.5 (-110)
PHOENIX YOTES -160

Lay 8
Pays 16.82
===========

See my Hard Wood thread and also some comments in GABANNA's NBA thread about the basketball game. Note the reference to Phoenix Suns being just 11-10 SU when playing at Home vs teams with winning records.

Meanwhile, since beginning of last season NHL, Columbus - when playing an Away game After Scoring 4+ in previous game - is 1-12 SU and 8-5 at +1.5

Thus creating a bonus 2TP O' Day

DENVER NUGGETS +200
PHX YOTES -1.5 (+180)

FRIDAY, Dec 26

PHILLY FLYERS +130
CHARLOTTE HORNETS +160

Lay 10
Pays 49.80
-----------------

Philly, with holiday break, is playing the Away After Home role with rest. They're 6-2 this year in that role and 16-8 through last season.
Chicago playing with 2+Days off this year is just 6-9 overall (4-5 when at Home). And they enter with a Postive Scoring Margin of 21, which may be the biggest I've seen in recent memory. Such a large margin begs for some kind of loss to break up the flow.

Charlotte is already a straight bet selection for me tonight at +4.5, but in addition we see that Nets when playing Home game After a SU Road Win are just 1-5 this season.

MONDAY, Dec 29

OKC THUNDER +9 (-110)
LA KINGS -135

Lay 12
Pays 27.88
---------------------

Phoenix Suns enter this game having beaten -9 Away just twice in 11 games this season and just five times in past 25 Away games.

Phoenix playing After facing longtime conference rival San Antonio - who has knocked them from playoffs three times in past four seasons - are 7-7 SU and 3-11 when graded at -9

Thunder, despite their woeful season have managed to win with +9 six times in past 13, including a one point loss on Nov 25 to this same Phoenix team. And last season in four H2H games while still the Seattle SSTs, they hung within nine pts three times.

---
Kings have demonstrated stern home ice defense and they're hosting a Columbus team who has been fairly hapless on the road for most of their history, including this season at 4-13

In their past 11 road games After Scoring 3+ goals, Jackets are 0-11

Best to us all for a profitable start to the week
