The Celts are battling several minor injuries at the moment, Kemba not traveling with the team with sore knee, Gordon Heyward a game-time decision also with sore knee. That is taken into account with the cheap number and Boston will be feel special urgency to win here as they now trail the Raptors by 1.5 games for the two spot in the East. Boston by eight.

DMack's Revenge Game of the Year winner is the Iowa Hawkeyes Iowa was humiliated 104-68 at Purdue in February in a game that saw the Boilers average 1.59 points per possession. Unheard of. In that game, Purdue shot 19-34 from downtown and 715 inside the arc. The Boilers shoot less than 35% inside the arc for the year so it was just one of those nights. Purdue has won the last three in the series but are just 2-7 on the Big Ten road and 1-4 in L5 visits to Iowa City. This is a proud Hawkeye bunch that can really score. They will be loaded for bear tonight at Carver Hawkeye Arena. Iowa by 14-18.

IMO, Miami is a team without much size and questionable depth and is just wearing down after the rigors of a long season. Milwaukee speaks for itself and has been a consistent ATS money-maker all year. The Bucks are off win at Charlotte last night and traveled but they are 7-1 ATS this year in the second of B2Bs and figure to be a whole lot more interested here. Lay it.

That said, the Hawks have not fared well in the second games of B2Bs going 2-8 ATS, 1-4 after a win. Portland is two games out of the playoffs but in reality, a dead man walking with Damian Lillard hurt and likely to be less than 100% the rest of the way when he returns. The Blazers are just 10-21 with suitcase but urgency (desperation) and better talent even with Lillard should get Portland a win against the fat and happy Hawks.

The BattleHawks were thought to be the weakest XFL team to start the season but what they have works. They have the best running back tandem in the league, a mobil playmaking quarterback, and a rock solid offensive line. they play ball control and the defense has been better than thought, holding a Bob Stoops offense without a touchdown for the first time since 2003. Seattle has scored just 49 points in its first three games with their stop unit creating just one turnover. The Dragons were beat by lowly Washington 31-19 in their only road game and will be fortunate to score 14 points here. St Louis rolls to a workman like 31-10 (Tennessee Titan type) win here.

OKC did not get the money the way we keep score but are home here against a Portland team that is having a nightmare season and missing its best player (Damian Lillard) for at least another week and look to be up against it here against the chemistry rich Thunder. OKC is the most profitable ATS team in the NBA this year and Billy Donovan has to be getting a sniff as a possible COY candidate. The number is fair and OKC with a little luck is still in the hunt for a first-round home court in the playoffs. Lay it.
