PICKS IN PROGRESS
ASA NBA play on Denver Nuggets -3 vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, 10:40pm ET - Minnesota is blistering hot right now with a 8-2 SU run and have won 3 straight but a closer look tells a slightly different story. Seven of those 10 games came at home, they caught a short-handed Knicks team and 4 of those wins games against the Grizzlies, Kings and Pelicans, three of the worst teams in the league. The Wolves are in a tough spot here traveling to Denver to face a Nuggets team off an upset loss to the Mavericks. Denver is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games and more importantly here, they are 7-0 SU off a loss this season and they’ve won those games by an average of +14.4ppg. Going back further, the Nuggets are 33-12 SU off a loss dating back to the start of last season +5.9ppg. When it comes to efficiency rating the Nuggets have the second-best differential in the league at +9.1, only behind the Thunder. Minnesota is a respectable +4.8 in eDIFF. Minnesota doesn’t shoot it well enough to exploit the Nuggets poor shooting defense and they’ll have a tough time getting second chance points against the 4th best defensive rebounding team in the NBA. Denver is the best overall FG% team in the league at 51.5% and also hit 40.6% from beyond the arc, also tops in the NBA. This has gotten to be a very good rivalry and we expect a convincing win by the home team off a loss.
ASA NBA play on OKC Thunder -9.5 vs. San Antonio Spurs, 2:30 pm ET - What a treat for basketball fans on Christmas Day! This is the new rivalry in the Association and it’s a good one if you haven’t been paying attention. Four weeks ago there was talk of OKC setting the all-time wins record in the NBA, setting the consecutive wins record, big favorites to win it all, everything was positive surrounding the Thunder betting markets. Then the Spurs beat them in the Cup semifinals, and everyone paused and took a breath. Then the Spurs followed up with a win on their home court Tuesday over OKC. Yes, the Spurs are a great young team right now and going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future. On Tuesday night the Spurs opened +8.5 point at home and won by 20-points. The story of the game was a ridiculously great shooting night by the Spurs 58% overall and 44% from Deep. They also attempted 24 FT’s to the Thunders 7. Those numbers will be tough to duplicate for these reasons: The Spurs shoot 48% on the season, 37% from beyond the arc AND the Thunder hold opponents to 43% shooting (#1) and 37% 3PT% (22nd). OKC has the best defensive efficiency rating in the league at 1.047-points per possession allowed and are 5th in oEFF. Oklahoma City is 14-0 SU at home and win by an average margin of +19.3ppg. The last 3 times these two teams have met in OKC the results have been double-digit wins by the Thunder. There is some bad blood here and we expect OKC to get ‘home cooking’ in this one and win going away.
ASA NFL play on OVER 43 Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings, 4:30pm ET - The Detroit defense, specifically their secondary, has been atrocious the past few weeks and it’s led to the Lions allowing 27 or more points in 5 straight games, 30+ in three of those. Minnesota had found a groove with their offense in two straight games putting up 31 and 34 points against the Commanders and Cowboys, then QB McCarthy got hurt last week and they managed 16 against the Giants. The bright spot for Minnesota is the fact that QB Brosmer looked much better last week than he did in his previous start. Brosmer was 7/9 for 52 yards and didn’t turn the football over. Let’s not forget, the first meeting between these two teams resulted in 51 total points and then QB McCarthy wasn’t playing well and went 14/25 for 143 yards. Detroit is going to score in this one with their offense that averages 379 total yards per game (3rd) at 6.3YPP (2nd). The Lions are scoring 30.1ppg on the season which is 2nd most in the league. The Lions with Dan Campbell/Goff typically respond well off a loss and with their season on life support we expect a solid offensive showing in this one. These two rivals have combined for 50 or more points in 7 of the last eight meetings. Bet OVER.

Service ASA's Bio & About Section
The owners of American Sports Analysts (ASAwins), Lee Kostroski & Mike Merlet, have a combined 50+ years in the sports betting industry. Both started with Doc’s Enterprises, Lee in the late 80’s and Mike in the early 90’s. After learning the handicapping trade from one of the oldest in the business, they started ASA Inc in 1997 and have been going strong ever since. They have been known throughout the industry for their success on BIG GAMES including their 10* Midwest Game of the Year. ASA is located in Madison, WI and a foundation of their handicapping prowess revolves around the heart of the country – especially the Big Ten.
ASAwins has appeared on numerous radio shows throughout the country as special expert football guests including Tampa, New Orleans, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Las Vegas, and Denver just to name a few. They were also featured on the ESPN website with gaming writer Chad Millman during the 2011 season.
ASAwins handicapping methods have evolved through years of with hard work and research being the anchor of their success. Rather than implementing one specific strategy as many handicappers do, they intertwine many different philosophies when it comes to making football, basketball, hockey, and baseball selections. They utilize their massive database that goes back over 30 years and can give them in depth information on any situation you can think of when it comes to handicapping. That’s not where they stop, however. They also research stats and film each week to evaluate the upcoming match ups on the field along with speaking with their personal contacts throughout the country (especially in the Midwest). On top of that, they analyze each point spread (and their movements) comparing them with their own power ratings to find where an edge might be found. Lastly, their predictive analytics or math models predict the outcomes of games based solely on numbers and statistics that aren’t swayed by the human element. So, as you can see, just because a game may fall into a successful system or the scheduling looks good to go against or with a certain team, that doesn’t mean that ASA automatically uses it as a selection. It must go through their in-depth process with all things considered before they give it the ASA stamp of approval. Looking at games from all these angles gives ASA the best of all worlds when it comes to handicapping. Their handicapping theories have proven successful over the years which has them as one of the more tenured experts in the industry.
Lee & Mike at ASAwins have stood the test of time in an industry that makes it very tough to do so. Their 50+ years of experience will give you the WINNING EDGE you need. Sports wagering is an investment and it’s time you invest in the known commodity of ASAwins!
