Sports Handicapper Jimmy Boyd's Picks & Predictions

3* NHL Underdog PLAY OF THE DAY on Sabres +

This is simply too good a price to pass up on Buffalo with the direction these two teams are headed. The Sabres have won 5 straight and are near the top of the standings at 12-6-2.

On the flip side of this, Pittsburgh is a mere 1-7-1 over their last 8 games and are dead least in the east at 7-8-3 overall. The key here is the Penguins are a very public team, having won 2 of the last 3 Stanley Cup's. Not to mention Buffalo is a major surprise, as they haven't really been competitive in recent years, so while their record is strong, people will be slow to trust them, especially on the road against a team like Pittsburgh.

I just think people get in the trap of assuming a team that's suppose to be good will just snap out of it. I would rather ride it out and take advantage of all the value fading them. Take Buffalo! 

1* Free Pick on Suns/Sixers UNDER

I don't see these two teams eclipsing the mark set by the books. This is a bit of a flat spot for the 76ers after Saturday's thrilling overtime win at Charlotte. All 5 starters for Philadelphia loved at least 30 minutes. I'm not saying they won't show up, but I don't see them playing at the pace needed to score 225+. 

They won't need to against this Suns team. Phoenix is not a good offensive team and come in shooting a mere 43.7% from the field and 27.7% from deep on the road this season. UNDER has cashed in 6 of the Suns' last 7 vs the Eastern Conference and is 12-3 in their last 15 road games against a team that's won more than 60% of their home games. 

UNDER is also 5-1-1 in the 76ers last 7 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games. Take the UNDER!

4* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Arizona -

Iowa State is getting way too much love here against the Wildcats. This might not be your typically Arizona team that has the talent to be a serious national title contender, but this is still one of the most talented teams in the country. I like that they are flying under the radar coming into the year, as they should be playing with a chip on their shoulder. 

Iowa State is going to be a dangerous team come March if they can get healthy, but they are playing without preseason All-Big 12 guard Lindell Wigginton, who is out with a foot injury. On top of that, returning starters Cameron Lard (suspension) and Solomon Young (Groin) are also not playing. 

I get the Cyclones have looked great so far without those key pieces, but all 3 games for them have come at home, where they have quite the home court edge. This one is being played in Hawaii at the Maui Invitational. Take Arizona! 

5* NBA Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Suns +

I really like the value here with Phoenix as a double-digit dog against the 76ers. I just think Philadelphia is bit overvalued right now with the recent trade of Jimmy Butler and them having won and covered their last two. 

The thing is, they could very easily be 0-3 with Butler. They lost his debut at Orlando, beat Utah at home by just 6 points and the Jazz shot 4 of 22 (18.2%) from deep and 56.8% from the free throw line. Then last time out they overcame a 60-point night from Kemba Walker in a 122-119 overtime win at Charlotte. 

I think that game against the Hornets really took a lot out of this team (all 5 starters played 30+ mins) and this is not as deep a team after the trade. With how bad the Suns have been, I just feel this is one of those games that the 76ers go through the motions and have to scratch out a win late. Take Phoenix!
