Consider that the Vikings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. While the Thunderbirds are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.  In addition the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

 I have this one projected as a dead even matchup. Wyoming is a strong competitor and has looked good this season. Nevada hasn't been able to get many games in do to Covid, but they're on a five game slide against the spread. The last time they covered it was November 30th. Wyoming has upset their Mountain West foe in three straight meetings, and I think theres a chance they do it again today. This is a solid team, grab the extra points.

Consider that the Over is 4-1 in Predators last 5 games playing on 1 days rest, 4-1 in Predators last 5 vs. Western Conference, 4-1 in Predators last 5 vs. a team with a winning record, and 9-3 in Predators last 12 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. While the Over is 18-7-1 in Blues last 26 vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Chicago won the first game between the clubs by a score of 4-2. I think they'll at least reach that number of goals here on Monday. Chicago is off a 3-0 win over Anaheim. The Hawks have scored three or more goals now in six of their last nine games. Defense has been the issue for Chicago this year, ranked 22nd in goals against this season. Seattle has lost nine in a row. The Kraken have struggled on both ends of the ice this year. They rank 24th in goals per game, but 31st in goals against. I believe Chicago can continue its recent offensive form and I look for Seattle to find the back of the net a couple of times tonight as well.

Phoenix just ruled out Deandre Ayton and it's looking doubtful that Cameron Johnson will play. I believe the healthy Spurs can win this outright but won't turn down the +3.5. It's the second of a B2B for Phoenix, which has covered just two of its past eight in that scenario. San Antonio is 6-0 ATS in its past six games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600.

Consider that the Jazz are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.  In addition, the Jazz are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

The Trail Blazers are expected to get reinforcements for this game with C.J. McCollum no longer on their injury report. He hasn’t played in over a month because of a collapsed lung, so expect him to be on some sort of a minutes restriction. However, with him, Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic all healthy, they are a much more dangerous team. Meanwhile, the Magic are set to play their sixth straight game without Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) out. They went 1-4 without him the last five games, which included a loss to the Pistons.

If the Rams have a legitimate MVP candidate this season it would be WR Cooper Kupp. During the first 16 games of the season, he connected with QB Matthew Stafford 138 times, the third most in NFL history. And he led the league in receiving yards and touchdown receptions. However, in order for the Rams to move forward they need Stafford dialed in like he was when he opened the season 8-1. Since the start of Week 9, he has thrown the NFL’s second-most interceptions (11), including 4 pick-sixes. And he has never won a playoff game. Flipping the script, after a 7-0 start that had many thinking they would be the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the Cardinals finished 4-6, and in a wildcard spot. The good news is after losing defensive lineman J.J. Watt to a shoulder injury in Week 7, it appears he’s ready to return for the playoffs. His return would be most welcomed, especially given the fact that the Cardinals were 8-2 SUATS away this season. Noting the Rams’ 2-5 SUATS and 1-6 ITS (In The Stats) record this season against fellow playoff squads, as opposed to Arizona’s 5-2 SUATS and ITS marks against the same, it appears the wrong team just may be favored here today.  Finally consider that playing on any .600 or greater team in the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs if they are seeking same-season revenge is 17-5 ATS since 1990.
