CAROLINA
Game: Philadelphia Flyers vs. Carolina Hurricanes Game Time: 11/21/2007 7:05:00 PM Prediction: Carolina Hurricanes Reason: I'm laying the price with CAROLINA. Both teams have played very well to start the year. However, while the Hurricanes are coming off a 2-1 win, the Flyers have suffered back to back losses, giving up 10 goals in the process. Both teams have had the past few days off and that also figures to favor the Hurricanes. Carolina is a fairly respectable 12-10 the past two seasons when playing with three days off in between games while the Flyers are a money-burning 5-12 (-7.6) during the same stretch. The Flyers knocked off the Hurricanes when the teams met at Philadelphia last month. However, the Hurricanes held a significant edge in shots and the game went to overtime. At the time, the Flyers were both rested and red hot while the Hurricanes were concluding a six game road trip and coming off an overtime/shootout game the previous night. Note that the Flyers have been terrific at home (6-1-1) but are below 500 (5-6) on the road. The Hurricanes are 8-3 the last 11 times that they faced a team which defeated them in their previous game and I look for them to avenge last month's loss tonight. *November GOM

Scott Spreitzer Aims for his **6th Straight NBA Win!** (Wednesday)
I'm laying the points with the Pistons on Wednesday night. Detroit is in a great NBA scenario tonight. Teams in their position are currently on a 28-4 ATS run going back to the spring of 2005. It has to do with home favorites who are off a double-digit loss. The rest of the situation must remain for my eyes only for now. The Pistons have beaten NY nine straight times at home. The soap opera that is the Knicks, took another rough loss last night, getting blasted by 26 points at home by Golden State. Stephon Marbury got the start and once again took it easy on the defensive end. This team is an absolute mess. And, they're facing a fired-up Pistons' squad off back-to-back double-digit losses, including an embarrasing 10-point defeat at Sacto. Detroit has had two days to stew about it. They'll take out their angst on the rudderless Knicks. Detroit is my 25* release on Wednesday! Thanks! GL! Scott.
Larry Ness' Oddsmaker's Error-CBB (1st TY in CBB / 26-6 run last seven days in all sports!)
My Oddsmaker's Error is on Syracuse at 9:20 ET. Syracuse missed the NCAA tournament last year, while Ohio State advanced all the way to the final game. However, this year's Syracuse team has all five starters averaging in double figures. Junior guard Eric Devendorf (16.0), 6-9 junior Arinze Onuaku (13.7-5.3) and sophomore guard Paul Harris (12.7) are joined by a pair of blue-chip freshmen in Donte' Greene and Jonny Flynn. The 6-9 Greene is averaging 19.0 PPG and 8.0 RPG, while PG Flynn is averaging 13.0 PPG and 7.7 APG. As for Ohio St, the Buckeyes lost four starters and 73 percent of their scoring from last season's Final Four team. But even after losing three freshmen to the NBA draft in Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook, Ohio State (2-0) is the third team receiving votes in the AP Top 25 poll and would likely vault into the rankings with a good showing this weekend. That's mostly because of three players who have each averaged at least 17 points in the Buckeyes' first two games. Lone returning starter Jamar Butler has hit half of his 18 3-point attempts, sophomore David Lighty is shooting 62.5 percent and 7-foot freshman Kosta Koufosa (a McDonald's All-American as a high school senior) has a team-high 37 points in just 49 minutes through two games. Thad Matta has proven he can coach and Ohio St will be tough by the end of the year but it WON'T win here! The Orange (24-11) did not receive an at-large berth for the NCAA tournament and has something to prove. MSG is "like home" to Syracuse and that's NOT reflected in the line. Oddsmaker's Error on Syracuse.

SYRACUSE
Game: Ohio State vs. Syracuse Game Time: 11/21/2007 9:20:00 PM Prediction: Syracuse Reason: I'm laying the small number with SYRACUSE. The Buckeyes have gotten off to a 2-0 start. However, those games came against very weak opponents (Wisconsin-GB and Columbia) and the Buckeyes haven't played in more than a week. Syracuse has faced slightly tougher competition and has gone 3-0. The Orange have been more profitable than the Buckeyes the past couple of years when playing on a neutral court, going 7-4 ATS. This year's team is led by an extremely talented pair of blue-chip freshmen in Donte' Greene and Jonny Flynn. They are just two of the five players currently scoring in double-digits in scoring. As a team, the Orange are averaging 83 ppg thus far which is worth mentioning as the Buckeyes were just 3-8 ATS the past two seasons against teams which score 77 or more points. While the Buckeyes still have some talented players, they also lost a ton of talent from last year's roster. In fact, last year's Final Four team lost four starters and 73% of its scoring. Look for the Buckeyes to feel those losses for the first time this evening as the Orange, who have something to prove after missing the Tournament last year, earn a solid win and improve to 61-41 at MSG under coach Jim Boeheim. *Annihilator

Larry Ness' 20* CBB Tourney Game of the Month (8-2 with CBB reports TY / 26-6 all sports run!)
My 20* play is on Duke at 10:00 ET. These schools met last season in the championship game of the CBE Classic in Kansas City, where the Golden Eagles recorded a 73-62 victory as Dominic James had 25 points and seven assists and Jerel McNeal added 17 points and six steals. No. 11 Marquette crushed Okla St last night (91-61) and has now won 12 straight tourney games in November and tonight will go for a fourth straight November tourney title against No. 13 Duke. Duke is 4-0 TY (as in Marq) plus the Blue Devils are 11-0 all-time in Maui, winning titles in 1992, 1997 and 2001. Last year, Marquette's perimeter game was too much for Duke but Coach K is playing a much more up-tempo style this year. McNeal (17.3-5.3), James (13.5), Cubillan (10.5) and Matthews (8.8-4.5) give Marquette a formidable perimeter game but the Golden Eagles' frontcourt is suspect. Returning vets Fitzgerald and Barro have not played well TY, as the 6-6 Hayward (11.0-5.3) has easily been the team's best inside player. Duke has so much depth on the perimeter. Henderson (15.3), Nelson (11.8-6.8) and Paulus (7.8-5.0 APG) start but Scheyer (13.0) and Smith (6.5) see plenty of time. Up front, 6-8 freshman Singler (13.5-6.5) starts alongside of 6-8 soph Thomas (6.3) but then there's the 7-1 Zoubek (5.3-5.8) and 6-6 freshman King (8.5). When playing three games in three nights depth matters! That edge goes to Duke and the "revenge factor" is the clincher. CBB Tourney Game of the Month 20* Duke.
Good Luck...Larry
Larry Ness' Weekly Wipeout Winner-CBB (80% winning CBB reports TY!)
My Weekly Wipeout Winner is on Butler at 11:30 ET. Brad Stevens moved over one chair from assistant coach at Butler after Todd Lickliter left for Iowa in the offseason. The Bulldogs have a senior-laden team which is coming off a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA tournament last season. The transition to their new coach has been smooth, as Butler has posted double-digit victories in all three games. Senior guards Graves (19.7) and Green (11.0-6.7-3.3) are superb, while the 6-7 Campbell (11.7-4.3) just keeps getting better. Senior swingmen Streicher and Betko complete the all-senior starting-five (combine to average 8.0-5.7) but 6-7 freshman Howard (9.7-4.0) has shown early that he'll be a big part of this team. Meanwhile, John Beilein has a big rebuilding job to do at Michigan. After two lopsided wins over lesser opponents at home, the Wolverines took a major step up in competition and were routed 74-52 at No. 5 Georgetown on Thursday. They fell behind 12-0 and never recovered, shooting just 36.8 percent from the field and 5-for-18 from 3-point range after making 50 percent of their shots in a victory over Brown. Freshman guards Harris (16.0) and Grady (12.3) had 13 and 16 points respectively vs Georgetown but the three frontcourt starters (the 6-6 Coleman, the 6-8 Sims and the 6-10 Gibson) were TERRIBLE! They combined for just THREE points in 67 minutes! As I said, Beilein has a major rebuilding job ahead of him. Weekly Wipeout Winner on Butler.
Good Luck...Larry
My 15* play is on the Hou Rockets at 7:35 ET. The Rockets have dropped four straight coming into this game but T-Mac is expected back and the Mavs have shown to be vulnerable on the road this season. Dallas is just 2-2 SU (1-3 ATS) away from home this year, already losing at both Atlanta and Portland. Last night, the Mavs trailed but 24 points at one point but came back to beat Toronto, 105-99. Nowitzki has been off to a bit of a slow start for Dallas but he turned in his best game of the season in the win last night. He scored a season-high 32 points, including four straight 3-pointers in the final 1:41 of the third quarter as the Mavericks took the lead for good. As for Houston, McGrady's absence the last two games has hurt center Yao Ming, who averaged 13 points while shooting just 33.3 percent (11-for-33) from the field during losses to Phoenix and San Antonio. Yao had averaged 27.6 points over his previous five contests but maybe the good news is that with T-Mac out and Yao not playing well, the Rockets were still competitive vs the Spurs and Suns. Houston is well-rested in this one (last game was Saturday) and the Mavs are off that big comeback win last night, plus as mentioned earlier, have shown to be vulnerable on the road so far. Western Conference Game of the Week 15* Hou Rockets.
