Matt Rivers says that the free NBA pick Wednesday is on the Atlanta Hawks +3.

It’s not a boatload of points on the road so in order to back this dog I do need to believe they will win but I do believe that the visitors from Hotlanta will get the job done. Memphis is a nice little up and coming team as we saw last season. OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and a few others are quality pieces and the team should be around that .500 mark this season. But the Grizz will probably be without Marc Gasol here and are up against what has now become an experienced veteran Hawks club.

Mike Woodson was given the heave ho and now it’s long-time assistant Larry Drew’s turn. I’m not sure if the coach is going to be better than his predecessor as 53 wins and a first round playoff win isn’t too shabby but all in all the Hawks are a talented team that is another season together. Joe Johnson is the star along with an extremely athletic Josh Smith plus a budding stud in the middle in Al Horford and one of the bench players around in Jamal Crawford. The Hawks have had problems reaching elite status because they elitethat but they are still superior to the Grizzlies and they boast the better everything tonight.

This game should be one of the funner games in the league tonight as there is a ton of young talent on the court and we could see some points and highlite dunks but in the end to get anything with Atlanta, even if a small handful, is fine with me.

The pick: Atlanta Hawks +3

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

Week 9 of the college football season kicks off on Tuesday night, with Boise State playing host to Louisiana Tech. The No. 2 Broncos (6-0 SU, 5-1 ATS) blasted San Jose State 48-0 on the road last time out, with Kellen Moore throwing for 231 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Doug Martin added 68 yards and two scores on the ground for Boise State that day. The Bulldogs (3-4 SU, 3-3 ATS) are coming off a 48-35 home win over Idaho, as Ross Jenkins passed for 422 yards and three touchdowns. Lennon Creer rushed for 179 yards and two scores for Louisiana Tech in that win. Oddsmakers have ranked Boise State pegged as a huge 37.5-point home favorite for Tuesday night.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA season gets underway on Tuesday night on three fronts, with Miami at Boston, Phoenix at Portland, and Houston at the Lakers. The oddsmakers have the Heat favored on the road in their opener, as LeBron James’ new team is listed as a 1-point favorite over the Celtics. Heat guard Dwyane Wade is expected to play on Tuesday despite missing time in the preseason with a hamstring injury. The total for the Miami/Boston matchup is at 193. The Trail Blazers are then 7.5-point home favorites vs. the Suns for Tuesday (with the total at 201), while the Lakers begin their title defense as an 8-point home favorite against the Rockets. The total for that last matchup is at 196.5.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

As well, there are six games on the National Hockey League’s schedule for Tuesday, with Florida at Toronto, Phoenix at Ottawa, Buffalo at Philadelphia, Edmonton at Calgary, Anaheim at Dallas, and Colorado at Vancouver. The 4-4-0 Avalanche were beaten 6-4 at home by Los Angeles on Saturday night, with Craig Anderson giving up six goals on 30 shots in the defeat. Milan Hejduk and Paul Stastny each scored twice for Colorado that day. The 3-3-2 Canucks trounced Minnesota 5-1 at home in their last game, with backup netminder Cory Schneider making 23 saves in the win. Manny Malhotra had two goals for Vancouver that game, and Jannik Hansen added two assists.

GodsTips says that tt’s not often the most high profile game is such a strong bet but we explain exactly tonight the Heat-Celtics is a great bet to start out the year. We also continue years of winning in football with the LA Tech-Boise State winner. GodsTips winners are up now

Matt Rivers says your free pick winner for Tuesday is on the Celtics +1.5 against Miami (official betting preview).

While Matt is keeping any eye on Cincinnati weather, Ohio, Louisville weather conditions as well via WCPO, WHIO, and Wave 3, he is also tracking week 8 NFL injuries.

When all is said and done Lebron, D-Wade, Bosh and the Heat are the superior overall team. Miami is the clear-cut best team in the entire NBA as the Vegas team win total of around 64 ½ shows. But the Celtics are no pushover and if you look at Doc Rivers’ squad over the last few seasons you will see a team that at times plays unmotivated but when they have that motivation they are as good as any team around.

Boston won the championship three years ago, went further than expected a two years ago being a game away from another championship in the tough seven game loss to Orlando without their leader in Kevin Garnett and last season were blah in the regular season only to go ballistic in the playoffs and shock the world in getting back to the championship. What does all of this mean when it comes to game one of this season? A lot!

The C’s are going to be extremely jacked up in this thing at the Boston Garden treating it like a playoff game against the new look Heat. The atmosphere is going to be absolutely electric to try and shove it up LeBron’s butt and without Wade being able to play all that much of late I don’t see the chemistry really being there. Throw in the injury to Mike Miller and a hard fought preseason game last week in Atlanta where King James scored 38 and the team still lost and I just see Erik Spoelstra’s team falling a little short and not getting the job done today.

Boston doesn’t have their beast in the middle in Kendrick Perkins but they did pick up Shaq and Jermaine O’Neal and should be all right here for sure against a Miami team that doesn’t really have a dominant post game themselves. The Heat’s big three will be great and get their points but it’s not like Rondo, Pierce, Garnett, Allen and the C’s haven’t been there and done that and at home today without a doubt could give Miami a rare loss in an emotional scene in Beantown.

This should be one of the better games of the entire season and in the end the home green should get it done.

The pick: Miami +1.5 at Bodog

For more information: If there is ever a time that the oddsmaker may be a little soft it’s very early on in a season and with today being day one in the NBA I feel extremely confident. Two plays including a big-time Raising of that Bar 400,000* from Staples between the Rockets and Lakers. My last 400,000* just cashed on Sunday with the Tennessee Titans and I’m doing it again here.

NBA betting begins tonight with LeBron James and the Miami Heat at Boston Celtics but it’s time for NFL injuries for fantasy football and Week 8 NFL odds.

By the end of Sunday’s games, it looked like the NFL’s elite players escaped Week 7 relatively unscathed. But, one MRI and Monday night game later, that isn’t the case. More big names are down as we review the latest injuries to impact NFL betting.

Brett Favre, Vikings: ANKLE

We knew he had elbow tendinitis. We also knew he had a least a bit of a bum ankle. But, after he limped around during Minnesota’s loss to Green Bay on Sunday night, Brett Favre went for an MRI and got some worse news. His left ankle isn’t just sore; it has two different fractures in it. Vikings coach Brad Childress says it won’t require surgery but Favre’s consecutive games played streak is in serious jeopardy. However, since he wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire this season, I wouldn’t downgrade Minnesota’s sportsbook odds just yet. Tarvaris Jackson isn’t nearly as bad as everyone seems to think.

Tony Romo, Cowboys: CLAVICLE

The Cowboys were already on the ropes at 1-4 and it looks like their season is finished after they lost Tony Romo – and the game – last night. Romo took a big hit from Michael Boley and broke his clavicle. Early reports say he’ll miss at least six weeks and possibly the rest of the season. With respect to Jon Kitna, it looks like Dallas is done. It’s time to toss their NFL futures into the trash.

Alex Smith, 49ers: SHOULDER

The 49ers are yet another team that had high hopes for this season yet looks hopeless at the moment. Alex Smith wasn’t exactly the second coming of Joe Montana for the 49ers – he was average at best – but he was still better than David Carr. Now that Smith has what doctors are calling “a significant sprain” in his AC Joint, Carr could get the nod in Week 8. When he took over for Smith last week against Carolina, all he did was hand the game away with an interception in the dying minutes.

Max Hall, Raiders: CONCUSSION

We just couldn’t get through a week in the NFL without at least one concussion. Arizona rookie quarterback Max Hall was the latest casualty. He had a nightmarish Week 7, going 4 of 16 for 36 yards before leaving the game after a taking a head shot. Still, as poorly as Hall played, he still looks like a better option than Derek Anderson, so his injury hurts Arizona’s betting prospects. Hall will only start in Week 8 if he can practice on Wednesday.

DeAngelo Williams, Panthers: FOOT

The news on Williams’ foot is pretty vague. He was in noticeable pain when he left Sunday’s game but the whispers among Panthers brass say the injury isn’t serious. Still, selfishly, I wouldn’t mind seeing Williams sit out one game. I’d love to see what Jonathan Stewart could do in a full game as a starter, as he has potential to be an elite back if he ever gets a full-time job.

Russell Okung, Seahawks: ANKLE

Seattle’s blue-chip left tackle suffered an ankle injury reportedly similar to what he dealt with earlier this season. He’ll probably miss a game or two and Seattle’s offense will suffer as a result.

Eben Britton, Jaguars: SHOULDER

It looks like Britton, Jacksonville’s starting right tackle, is done for the year with a torn labrum. It’s a pretty damaging injury to an already-shaky Jags offense. If Maurice Jones-Drew was scuffling already, how much worse will he be without Britton paving lanes for him?
