FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR WEDNESDAY, 12/31:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Wednesday is with the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points versus Portland Trail Blazers. Oklahoma City (28-5) has won two games in a row after their 140-129 win at home against Atlanta as a 17-point favorite on Monday. The Thunder have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 9 home games against teams with a losing record. They have also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 home games when laying 12.5 to 18 points. Portland (14-19) has won two games in a row after their 125-122 upset victory against Dallas as a 2.5-point underdog on Monday. The Trail Blazers have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games after a win by six points or less. They have also failed to cover the point spread 9 of their last 14 games on the road when playing for the eighth or more time in the last 14 days. Take Oklahoma City minus the points versus Portland. Best of luck — Frank.

Blazers vs Thunder NBA Free Pick 

The Angle: The Oklahoma City Thunder have, not surprisingly, dominated this series in recent seasons, winning nine of the last 10 meetings. The Blazers are 6-4 against the spread in those games though, and lost by just eight as an 11-point underdog when hosting OKC a month ago. The Thunder are 2-4 against the spread in their last six as they've been asked to cover bigger and bigger numbers. I'm siding with the underdog in this one. 

The Bet: BLAZERS (2%).

Wednesday The Bowl Total of the Year Headlines in day action and then tonight a Double Perfect CFB Playoff game. NBA Comp Play below

The NBA Comp Play is on Milwaukee Game 518 at 8:10 eastern.  From the database Rob notes that home favorites that have a losing record but are laying 5 or more points and have road favored loss revenge for a loss where they were a double digit favorite are 8-1 to the spread long term. The Bucks have covered the last 2 here at home vs Washington and should coast to a New Years Eve cover for the home fans. Make it Milwaukee. GL Rob V-

For my best free pick on the board here for Wednesday I am going with the Oregon Ducks laying the points here against Texas Tech Red Raiders. Both teams coming in here red hot Ducks 7 straight win and the Red Raiders 6 straight. Bettors will be all over the Red Raiders I think plus points the Ducks even though their stats don’t match up to Texas Tech I believe Oregon is superior on both ends. Yes Oregon had to play last week but I do not think that affects them here today early. 

Play on the Oregon Ducks laying the points rotation #259

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #335 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, January 4 CBS) Green Bay is locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC Playoffs and thus the experts are expecting them to rest a lot of players in this game. Minnesota is still very weak at the quarterback position, and I am not sure this is a good spot for them laying this many points against a divisional opponent. Does Green Bay really want to enter the playoffs getting blown out in this game making it 4 straight losses? I think they will play some key players and be able to take this game down to the wire.
