Brooklyn has been getting favorable spreads all season long, yet they are 3-8 ATS. One of those rare covers was last time out, and we know because we were on them against the Raptors, and they covered with a three at the buzzer in garbage time in a game we thought we had lost. And their coach called them out for lack of defense before that game, but Toronto still put up nearly 120. This team might get it together later in the season and be a sneaky good ATS team, but right now they are a good team to go against in spots. In this NBA Cup matchup, we think Orlando will bring their A Game. They have a chance to win this whole thing, so this will be a crucial game for them and one they wont overlook. After a slow start, they have won five of their last seven games, and they have covered in every win. They have also covered in five of the last six against Brooklyn.

The Islanders are one of the top over teams in the NHL this season at 12-5 to the over. They are known as a defensive team, but this season their defense so far has been lower middle of the pack. And, surprisingly, their offense is in the Top 10. The Mammoth are not far behind them in the offensive rankings for goals scored. Utah always seems to either score a lot of allow a lot for goals, and they are trending to the over with a 4-0 record to the over in their last four.

7 Unit Play. Take #886 Washington State over Washington (11p.m., Friday, November 14 ESPN+) This game means a lot more to Wazzou than it does to Washington. Since Washington left the PAC 12 (move the PAC 2), Washington State has been in exile for a couple of years and they want to make a statement in this game. The Cougars are predicted to be a top team in the WCC this season and I do not see them getting run out of their own building tonight in Pullman. The Cougars have held their won against the Huskies winning 6 of the last 10 meetings straight-up. Washington went 2-9 last season in true road games, and they will enter a hostile environment with a game I expect to go down to the wire.

2 Unit Play. Take #392 New Mexico Lobos over Colorado State Rams (3p.m., Saturday, November 15 Altitude) The change in leadership has not done much for the Rams, as they have been blown out in their last 3 games by a combined 72 points. Their roster is just not very good, and they are playing a hungry team that is ready to end a 13 game losing streak to them. Jason Eck has New Mexico bowl eligible, and he will want to finish out the season strong to improve his chances at a Power 4 job. They have a good chance to close out the regular season with 2 wins and possible 3 if they can beat San Diego State. Colorado State has nobody on their staff (higher up coaches) that will likely be kept for next year and thus I do not see them putting forth much of an effort in this game.

2 Unit Play. Take #358 Alabama Crimson Tide over Oklahoma Sooners (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 15 ABC) I have not been as high on Oklahoma as the odds makers have been this season. The Sooners have survived a brutal schedule thus far and this is their last road game of the season. Just feel they have yet to face a quarterback like Ty Simpson, as he has 21 touchdowns and just 1 interception on the year. Oklahoma has a good defense but sooner or later Alabama will break through, and I am not sure they will be able to match them. Alabama has revenge as OU knocked them out of the playoffs last year. They will not make that mistake this year and win this game by double digits.
