Shumpty’s Punt: Monday Sports bets #2

The best bet of the day was successful and with one game in the NFL regular season to go, I think there is another bet that could reap rewards for punters in that game.

The Eagles host the Cowboys to decide the winner of the NFC East. Neither side has set the world on fire offensively this year and now the Cowboys are without their starting QB in Tony Romo.

All of this points to a low scoring encounter and that being the case the best bet arising out of this game is the total match score being under 52.5 points. This bet is paying $1.91 on Sportingbet.

Bet: Total game score between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys to be less than 52.5 points

Good luck and good punting.

It is the final round of the NFL season (before the finals) and at the start of the round there were 13 of 16 games that could have effected the finals make up.

One such game is the Kansas City Chiefs v San Diego Chargers game commencing in around 35 minutes. It looks like the results will fall such that a Chargers win will see them in the playoff. At the same time the Chiefs have rested Jamaal Charles for their final run in coming weeks.

Charles’ aside, this is still a Chiefs team that has gone 11-4 this year. I can not believe they are presently posted at $4.70 to win this game and that the line is 13.5 points.

I am tipping the best bet of the morning to be Kansas City Chiefs to cover the line (+13.5 points) against the San Diego Chargers. This bet is currently paying $1.80 so other punters obviously agree with me.

That said, I have not been convinced by anything I have seen this season and read over this week that the Chiefs are so reliant on Charles that they ought be a $4.70 chance. I think that is massive overs and I am going to take a piece of that action too.

The game starts at 7:25am Brisbane time.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (19-4) are the hottest team in the NBA at the moment and travel to Denver seeking to extend their current winning streak to seven games and to win its fifteenth game of sixteen. In their last fifteen games they have scored 100 or more points in eleven of those games whilst restraining their opponents to less to than 100 points in ten of the fifteen games. The Nuggets (14-9) have won seven of their last eight games at home and have an excellent record against the Thunder having won nine of the last eleven games between the two teams.

This game, for me, comes down to the form of the stars from Oklahoma City: Durant and Westbrook. Durant leads the NBA in scoring with 28.5 points per game and Westbrook has been creating opportunities in attack with steals of which he has a team leading 40. I think they will have too much offensive power for the Nuggets and will cover the line of -3.0 points.

Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder to cover the line (-3.0 points) against the Denver Nuggets in the NBA.

The St Louis Blues travel to Ottawa to take on the Senators in the NHL today in would should be an entertaining game between two of the more enterprising teams in the league. The Blues (22-6-3) possess an offence that ranks among the best in hockey this year with 3.45 goals per game. They have scored at least two goals in all but one game this season. The Senators (13-15-6) welcome back defenseman Jared Cowen who was suspended for the last two games. They missed him on Saturday during a 5-2 loss to Los Angeles where they fell behind 3-0 in the first 12 minutes of the game.

All in all, I think the Blues will have too much scoring power for the Senators in this game and will cover the line of -1.5 goals.

Best Bet: St Louis Blues to cover the line against the Ottawa Senators in the NHL.
Odds: $3.30 (courtesy of sportingbet.com.au)

As always, good luck and good punting!
