&lt;h1&gt;Ron Raymond’s NHL Hockey Predictions (January 29, 2010)&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Jersey PK -200&lt;/b&gt;: The Leafs are riding a 4 game losing streak and some players have publicly stated they wanted to be traded out of the big smoke. Not good for team chemistry, just what the doctor ordered for the Devils 2 game losing streak. When NEW JERSEY team played as a home team - Vs Northeast opponent - After a non division game - Scored 1 or less goals FOR in their last game; the Devils are 20-5-3 SU in this spot. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Florida PK +220&lt;/b&gt;: Great value on the Panthers and they’ve won their last 2 games. Caps going with Neuvirth tonight and the Panthers GAA average L10 games 1.60! When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Total is 6.0 - Last 5 years - With 1 day off - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite - 3 games in 4 nights; the Home Fave (WAS) is 8-15 SU in this spot L5Y. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buffalo PK -155&lt;/b&gt;: The Bruins have lost their team confidence and Miller is 14-5 lifetime vs. the Bruins. When BOSTON team played as a Road team - Vs Division Opponent - Scored 1 goals FOR in their last game; The Bruins are 8-21-1 in this role since ’96. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nashville PK +130&lt;/b&gt;: The Red Wings are running out of gas of late in the third period, which explains their third period meltdown vs. the Coyotes. Both teams are 0-3 in their last 3, so why not take the value on the road dog. When ANY NHL Team Played as Road team as a Underdog - With 2 days off - playing on Friday - During the month of January - Scored 2 or less goals FOR in their last game; the Road Dog (NAS) are 12-4-1 SU in this spot. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anaheim PK +100&lt;/b&gt;: Bit of a letdown game for the Lightning, as they blanked the Canadiens 3-0 and the Ducks hung tough with the Caps in their last game. When TAMPA BAY played as any home/road team - During Last 2 Years - Won Last Game by 3 Goals or Less; the Lightning are 14-28 SU in this spot. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dallas PK -120&lt;/b&gt;: The Avs will get the public money here tonight, but Auld is 5-0 at home and the Stars are 6-4 SU vs. Colorado at home in their last 10 games. When DALLAS Played as home team as a Favorite - During Last 4 Years - Won Last Game by 1 Goals or Less; the Stars are 24-14 SU in this role the L4Y.

&lt;h2&gt;Atlanta (6.0) vs. Ottawa (-130)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Granted, the Senators are 2-1 SU on the season, but they are not looking sharp on offense and the 2-0 Thrashers are winning their games by 2 goals or more. Ottawa&amp;#39;s wins on the season have been against the Leafs and Islanders, two bad hockey teams. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When ATLANTA team played as a Road team - Total is 6.0 - With 1 day off - Coming off 1 game push; the Thrashers are 6-4 SU in this spot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Atlanta 4 Ottawa 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;NY Islanders (5.5) vs. Boston (-220)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Islanders are a young and exciting team who has great speed, but to win on the road against a Boston team who were embarrassed 6-1 in their last game, could be a long night for Tavares and company. Read the line, what is -220 telling you? Exactly!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When BOSTON team played as Home team as a Favorite - Vs Non Division Opponent - With 1 day off - Coming off 2 overs; The Bruins are 11-2 SU in this spot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Boston 5 NYI 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Pittsburgh (-130) vs. Toronto (6.0)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Classic trap game of the night. You have 13 games on tap and the Bookmakers sneak this game on the 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; row of the Nevada rotation schedule. Here are the things to look for when handicapping this game. The Penguins are coming off an emotional division road win over the Flyers, Toskala is 6-1 SU vs. the Penguins and Pittsburgh is 3-7 SU in their last 10 trips to Toronto. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When TORONTO team played as a home team - Last 3 years - After a conference game - Coming off a Home loss as a Favorite; the Leafs are 11-2 SU in this role the L3Y.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Toronto 3 Pittsburgh 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;New Jersey (-110) vs. Florida (5.5)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;The New Jersey Devils are not the same Devils from teams past, they grind out every game right up until the final minute and the Panthers are an extremely well coached hockey team. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When FLORIDA team played as a home team - Last 3 years - Total is 5.5 - Coming off 1 over; The UNDER is 16-4-0 for the Devils in this spot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Florida 3 New Jersey 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Anaheim (5.5) vs. Philadelphia (-150)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Ducks are in a letdown spot here vs. the Flyers and Philly coming off a division home lost vs. the Pens. Ducks are 1-4-2 SU vs. the Flyers in their last 8 trips. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When ANAHEIM team played as Road team as an Underdog - playing on Saturday - Coming off a 1 game win; the Ducks are 3-12-1 for the Ducks in this spot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Philadelphia 4 Anaheim 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Washington (6.0) vs. Detroit (-125)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Alexander Ovechkin loves a stage and its Saturday night and the Caps are in Hockeytown! Plus, the bookmakers have told Ovechkin and his Capitals team; we don&amp;#39;t think you&amp;#39;re going to win tonight, so we are making you a +105 underdog vs. the Wings. Nuff said! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When WASHINGTON team played as a Road team - Vs Non Division Opponent - During the month of October - Coming off a 2 game losing streak; the Capitals are 6-4-2 SU in this situation. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Washington 5 Detroit 4&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Carolina (6.0) vs. Tampa Bay (-135)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;At first glance, you can make a case for the Lightning in this spot, especially after the way the Canes won last night against Florida, so they might be primed for a letdown game in a back to back situation. However, Lightning goaltender Smith is 0-4 vs. Carolina and the Lightning are a badly coached hockey team. &amp;nbsp;Love Rick Tocchet&amp;#39;s energy and edge he brings to this Tampa Bay team, but the Lightning need an X and O guy to put some structure in this team. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When CAROLINA team Played as Road team as a Underdog - playing on Saturday - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite - Coming off vs Southeast division opponent; the OVER is 9-1-2 for the Canes in this role. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Carolina 3 Tampa Bay 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;LA Kings (5.5) vs. St.Louis (-145)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Blues had their let down game after that European trip last week, and now the Kings will see the real Blues tonight. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When LOS ANGELES team played as a Road team - With 1 day off - Last 3 years - Coming off vs Northwest division opponent; the Kings are 1-14 SU in this role the last 3 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: St.Louis 6 LA Kings 4&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Buffalo (5.5) vs. Nashville (-120)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Not sure why, but the Predators at home on Saturday night is almost money in the bank. Buffalo is stuck in neutral when it comes to scoring goals and they can&amp;#39;t rely on Ryan Miller to save them forever. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When NASHVILLE team Played as Home team as a Favorite - After a conference game - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite - Coming off a 2 game winning streak; the Predators are 10-1 SU in this spot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Nashville 3 Buffalo 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Colorado (5.5) vs. Chicago (-200)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;Chicago is way to expensive in this spot, they have no goaltending and to put a -200 price behind Huet is a joke. Play on the Avs, great value and Anderson gives us a shot. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When COLORADO team played as a Road team - Vs Conference Opponent - After a conference game - Coming off a 1 goal loss - Scored 2 goals FOR in their last game; the Avs are 6-4-1 SU in this role.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Colorado 3 Chicago 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Columbus (5.5) vs. Phoenix (-130)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You have to hand it to the Coyotes players, after all the BS that&amp;#39;s been going on behind the scenes, these players have been able to stay focus and get some wins. The Coyotes have a veteran team and they wait for their spots and they are playing well behind Bryzkalov. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When COLUMBUS team played as a Road team - playing on Saturday - Coming off vs Pacific division opponent; The Blue Jackets are 3-19-3 in this spot since the 2000 season. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Phoenix 5 Columbus 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Montreal (5.5) vs. Edmonton (-130)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Canadiens started out the season on the right track by beating weaker Eastern Conference opponents, but they are finding out quickly, the Western teams play a more physical style game. Edmonton is coming off an emotional 4-3 lost to the Flames and they are 7-3 SU vs. Montreal in their building last 10 games. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When EDMONTON team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Total is 5.5 - After a conference game - Allowed 4 goals AGAINST in their last game; the Oilers are 11-4 SU in this situation since 1998. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Edmonton 3 Montreal 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Minnesota (5.5) vs. San Jose (-180)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Tough to beat a team who averages close to 5 goals per game and the Sharks has players who can turn up the jets at any time during the game. Sharks have been one of the top home teams the last 2 years and I don&amp;#39;t see any reason why they don&amp;#39;t win by 3 here tonight. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase.com Tip&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When SAN JOSE team played as a home team - Total is 5.5 - Coming off 2 overs; the Sharks are 12-5-1 SU in this position. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: San Jose 5 Minnesota 2&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://pregame.com/forums/aggbug.aspx?PostID=630770" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NHL+PREVIEWS/default.aspx">NHL PREVIEWS</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NHL+PICKS/default.aspx">NHL PICKS</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NHL+HOCKEY/default.aspx">NHL HOCKEY</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NHL+PREDICTIONS/default.aspx">NHL PREDICTIONS</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/HOCKEY+PICKS/default.aspx">HOCKEY PICKS</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NHL+FORECAST/default.aspx">NHL FORECAST</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/HOCKEY_3A00_/default.aspx">HOCKEY:</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/HOCKEY+HANDICAPPING/default.aspx">HOCKEY HANDICAPPING</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NHL+EXPERT/default.aspx">NHL EXPERT</category></item><item><title>Ron Raymond's NHL Previews &amp; Predictions (Oct 6)</title><link>http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/2009/10/06/ron-raymond-s-nhl-previews-amp-predictions-oct-6.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:13:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b99575bc-4fda-4d0b-a780-474f53a1f57e:628440</guid><dc:creator>Ron Raymond</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=628440</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/2009/10/06/ron-raymond-s-nhl-previews-amp-predictions-oct-6.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;NHL Predictions &lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are today&amp;#39;s NHL Picks for Tuesday, October 06, 2009&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Tampa Bay (6) vs. Carolina (-150)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;: &amp;nbsp;Carolina has been one of the better home hockey teams since the trade deadline last March. In fact, going back March 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; 2009 until right now, the Canes are 13-6 (68%) SU at home and they will be in a nasty mood after losing to Boston 7-3. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase Tip&lt;/b&gt;: &amp;nbsp;When TAMPA BAY team Played as Road team as a Underdog - Last 4 years - Coming off a 1 game loss - Coming off vs Southeast division opponent; The Lightning are 1-9 SU in this role the L4Y.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Carolina 4 Tampa Bay 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Ottawa (6) vs. Toronto (-120) &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;: &amp;nbsp;Ottawa will be walking into the Lions Den this evening and it&amp;#39;s too early to say, but we might be questioning Ottawa&amp;#39;s toughness again this year. Toronto starting their new goalie from Sweden this evening and he&amp;#39;s got nothing to lose, considering he&amp;#39;s coming in as the back up. Toronto roughs up Ottawa and they should get the win. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase Tip&lt;/b&gt;: When ANY NHL Team played as a home team - playing on Tuesday - With 2 days off - Total is 6.0 - Coming off vs Eastern Conference opponent - Coming off 2 overs; the UNDER is 12-3-4 for the Home Team in this role. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Toronto 3 Ottawa 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Washington (6) vs. Philadelphia (-125)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp; In my view, this is the Hockey Game of the Night to watch, as the Caps and Flyers are both 2-0 and well rested for this evening&amp;#39;s matchup. Furthermore,&amp;nbsp; Flyers have a stronger defensive corps now on the blue line with Pronger and Razor Ray Emery has looked solid giving up only 2 goals in two games. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FYI: The OVER is 10-4-0 for the Flyers since March 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; of 2009. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase Tip&lt;/b&gt;: When PHILADELPHIA team played as a home team - Coming off vs Eastern Conference opponent - During the month of October - Allowed 2 or fewer goals AGAINST in their last game; the Flyers are 18-4-4 in this role since &amp;#39;96.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Philadelphia 5 Washington 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Montreal (5.5) vs. Calgary (-175)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp; The Canadiens are happy with the start to their season; winning their season opener in Toronto (4-3) and sneaking out an OT winner against Buffalo (2-1) on Saturday. However, it&amp;#39;s going to get a bit tougher now, as they meet the Flames this evening and Montreal is 2-6-2 in their last 10 trips in Calgary. Plus, Calgary is a physical team and the Canadiens smaller forwards will have trouble against the bigger Flames defenseman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase Tip&lt;/b&gt;: When ANY NHL Team played as a home team - With 2 days off - Last 2 years - Coming off 2 overs - Coming off a 1 goal win; the Home Team is 11-5 SU in this spot the L2Y. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Calgary 3 Montreal 1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Anaheim (5.5) vs. Minnesota (-125) &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp; The Ducks are 3-7 SU against Minnesota in their last 10 trips to the Twin Cities and when you look at the goaltending matchup, edge goes to Minnesota.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase Tip&lt;/b&gt;: When MINNESOTA team played as a home team - Vs Conference Opponent - After a conference game - Coming off a 1 game loss - Coming off a Road loss as a Underdog; the Wild are 9-1 SU in this spot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Anaheim 3 Minnesota 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Dallas (5.5) vs. Edmonton (-135)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp; Marty Turco is 17-6 SU vs. Edmonton and Khabibulin is 15-14-2 lifetime vs. the Stars. Plus, Dallas has been good in this barn in their last 10 trips, as they&amp;#39;ve won 70% of their game vs. Edmonton. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase Tip&lt;/b&gt;: When DALLAS team played as a Road team - Total is 5.5 - Last 4 years - Coming off a 1 goal loss; the Stars are 12-5 SU in this role.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: Dallas 4 Edmonton 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;San Jose (-140) vs. LA Kings (5.5)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp; The Kings might be in for a long season and a 6-3 lost to Phoenix on opening night might be the red flag bettors are looking at their starting point on handicapping tonight&amp;#39;s game. Granted, it&amp;#39;s only one game, but the fact they let 6 goals against at home, tells me they have some work to do on defense. Sharks are 7-3 in their last 10 trips to the Staples Centre and Nabokov is 22-12-2 lifetime vs. the Kings. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATSDatabase Tip&lt;/b&gt;: When SAN JOSE team Played as Road team as a Favorite - Last 3 years - Coming off vs Pacific division opponent - Scored 4 or more goals FOR in their last game; the Sharks are 8-2 SU in this spot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron&amp;#39;s Prediction&lt;/b&gt;: San Jose 5 LA Kings 2&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;NFL COMPUTER DATABASE PREDICTIONS WEEK 3&lt;/h1&gt;The name of the game is numbers and the worst feeling in the sports betting world is getting what is called �hooked�. 
&lt;h2&gt;What does getting �Hooked� mean Ron?&lt;/h2&gt;Getting hooked means losing or winning by 0.5 points on a side or a total of the point spread numbers released by the offshore sportsbooks like Bookmaker.com. &lt;strong&gt;Example&lt;/strong&gt;: Let�s say the NY Giants are favored by -6.5 points over the Redskins the final score of the game is NY Giants 20 Washington Redskins 14; this means if you picked &lt;strong&gt;NY Giants -6.5&lt;/strong&gt;, you my friend got �&lt;strong&gt;hooked&lt;/strong&gt;�. Now, using the �hook� theory, I went through each NFL Week 3 Football Games and I�ve taken the spread of each game, (sides and totals) and went -0.5 to one side and +0.5 to the other side on both the side and total and I�ve produced the following records for each game. For instance, in the first game, the Jets are favored by -3.0 and the O/U is set at 37.0; I went into my NFL database to search for any spread from 1983 to present, Home Favorites with a spread of -2.5 to -3.5 and the over/under of 36.5 to 37.5 and give me the ATS, SU and O/U results of each of those games. Here�s what I found. (Favorites only). 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ATS&lt;/strong&gt; = AGAINST THE SPREAD&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SU&lt;/strong&gt; = STRAIGHT UP&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O/U&lt;/strong&gt; = OVER/UNDER&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NYJ -3&lt;/strong&gt; = 78-79-9 (ATS) 98-68 (SU) 77-88-1 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Jets (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Houston -3.5&lt;/strong&gt; = 42-18 (ATS) 29-24-7 (SU) 27-30-3 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;exans (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eagles -9&lt;/strong&gt; = 21-24-0 (ATS) 36-14 (SU) 25-23-2 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Philly (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baltimore&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; -13&lt;/strong&gt; = 4-8-0 (ATS) 6-6 (SU) 7-5-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;None&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NYG -6.5&lt;/strong&gt; = 14-18-3 (ATS) 24-11 (SU) 20-15-1 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Giants (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Redskins -6.5&lt;/strong&gt; = 18-18-0 (ATS) 24-12 (SU) 20-15-1 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Redskins (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Green Bay&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; -6.5&lt;/strong&gt; = 10-4-1 (ATS) 16-9 (SU) 17-8-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;OVER&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vikings -7&lt;/strong&gt; = 37-44-5 (ATS) 54-28 (SU) 37-49-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Vikes (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Patriots -4&lt;/strong&gt; = 15-26-0 (ATS) 25-16 (SU) 15-25-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;UNDER&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; -1&lt;/strong&gt; = 15-20-2 (ATS) 15-22 (SU) 19-18-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Seahawks (ATS)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saints -6&lt;/strong&gt; = 1-2-0 (ATS) 3-0 (SU) 2-1-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Saints (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;San Diego&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; -6&lt;/strong&gt; = 30-36-1 (ATS) 44-23 (SU) 27-40-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;UNDER&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steelers -4&lt;/strong&gt; = 23-19-1 (ATS) 26-17 (SU) 22-19-2 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Steelers (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Denver&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; -1&lt;/strong&gt; = 15-16-1 (ATS) 15-17 (SU) 20-12-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;OVER&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cardinals -3&lt;/strong&gt; = 16-12-4 (ATS) 19-13 (SU) 15-16-1 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Cardinals (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; -9&lt;/strong&gt; = 5-8-0 (ATS) 9-3-1 (SU) 5-8-0 (O/U) Edge = &lt;strong&gt;Cowboys (SU)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*&lt;strong&gt;Ron�s View&lt;/strong&gt;: Going into the third week of the �hook� article, I�m noticing the total plays a huge role in where the edge is given. As you can see from this weeks result, not too many edges for the point spread, but every game can�t have a pearl in the oyster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://pregame.com/forums/aggbug.aspx?PostID=621400" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NFL/default.aspx">NFL</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/RON+RAYMOND/default.aspx">RON RAYMOND</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/nfl+picks/default.aspx">nfl picks</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/NFL+PREDICTIONS/default.aspx">NFL PREDICTIONS</category></item><item><title>Ron Raymond's NFL WEEK 2 STATS AND TRENDS</title><link>http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/2009/09/16/ron-raymond-s-nfl-week-2-stats-and-trends.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Sep 2009 03:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b99575bc-4fda-4d0b-a780-474f53a1f57e:616213</guid><dc:creator>Ron Raymond</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=616213</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/2009/09/16/ron-raymond-s-nfl-week-2-stats-and-trends.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;NFL WEEK 2 STATS AND TRENDS&lt;/h2&gt;Did you know, when you read the word �&lt;b&gt;STATS&lt;/b&gt;�, do you realize the words ATS are included in the word? No matter how you feel about sports betting &lt;b&gt;Stats and Trends&lt;/b&gt;, they are your friend and keep in mind, you�re betting into a number, so having the numbers to beat the numbers is part of the game. Here are some interesting NFL Stats and Trends for Week 2. However, before I lay them out, lets take a look at NFL Week 2 from past games over the years and see how the point spread numbers worked out for Week 2. &lt;b&gt;NFL Home Favorites&lt;/b&gt; went 9-3 SU last week and it was a WINNING week for the public, as the Books won big on Saturday in the Colleges, but gave most of it back on Sunday in the Pros! Over the past years, &lt;i&gt;NFL Week 2 Home Favorites&lt;/i&gt; went 115-128-13 ATS and 167-89 SU with the UNDER cashing in at 140-109-7. Since 1983, &lt;b&gt;NFL Home Dogs in Week 2&lt;/b&gt; are 38-66 SU and 48-52-5 ATS with the UNDER being 58-46-1. However, the last 2 years, the Home Dogs in Week 2 are only 3-7 SU; While Home Favorites are 22-9 SU the last 3 years. The lowest total on the board this week is 37.0 and it�s from the &lt;b&gt;Rams at Redskins&lt;/b&gt; game and when prior teams are a -9.5 to -10 Home Favorite and the total is 37, the Home Fave has won 75.8% of the game Straight up. Here are some key &lt;u&gt;NFL Trends for Week 2&lt;/u&gt;.

&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The name of the game is numbers and the worst feeling in the sports betting world is getting what is called �hooked�. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;h2 style="MARGIN:12pt 0in 3pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;What does getting �Hooked� mean Ron? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Getting hooked means losing or winning by 0.5 points on a side or a total of the point spread numbers released by the offshore sportsbooks like Bookmaker.com.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal;"&gt;Example&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Let�s say the NY Giants are favored by -6.5 points over the Redskins like they are this weekend, and the final score of the game is NY Giants 20 Washington Redskins 14; this means if you picked &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal;"&gt;NY Giants -6.5&lt;/b&gt;, you my friend got �&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal;"&gt;hooked&lt;/b&gt;�. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Now, using the �hook� theory, I went through each NFL Week 1 Football Game and I�ve taken the spread of each game, (sides and totals) and went -0.5 to one side and +0.5 to the other side on both the sides and total and I�ve produced the following records for each game.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;For instance, in the first game, the Falcons are favored by -4.0 and the O/U is set at 43.0; I went into my NFL database to search for any spread from 1983 to present, Home Favorites with a spread of -3.5 to -4.5 and the over/under of 42.5 to 43.5 and give me the ATS, SU and O/U results of each of those games. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Here�s what I found. (I�m going to show the FAVORITES record only and give you the edge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;ATS = AGAINST THE SPREAD&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;SU = STRAIGHT UP&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;O/U = OVER/UNDER&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Ron Raymond&amp;#39;s Playing the Percentages&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How much weight do you put in a line move? Do you trust it and what do you do about it? Do you follow it blindly or do you swim against the current and go against it? How much value is there in TV game line moves compared to small school vs. big school line moves? Here?s my view; you have big school football programs like Florida, Michigan, Texas, and USC and the line can go up and down from -3 to -7 points on some weekends and that?s only for the side, the total can fluctuate anywhere from a field goal to a touchdown. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, when the line is moving on the ?popular programs?, it?s because this is what most of the betting public is betting! It?s called Volume. The Sportsbook know they have to keep balance with games involving the big College Football programs; otherwise they will take a bath. I?ve found that most line moves with big school name programs really balance out in the end and to find value, true to find those popular schools that are not mainstream media darlings, but still have a big enough names to get on ESPN U and FOX Sportsnet. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I?ve found great value in the &lt;b&gt;Purdue vs. Oregon&lt;/b&gt; game for this weekend, side and total and you can see what I mean below. Bet smart and remember, less is more! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Do you Trust a Line Move in a College Football Game&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Ron Raymond" src="http://www.phoenixsports.com/cappers_images/ronraymond.jpg" width="88" height="73" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here�s the thing with &lt;b&gt;College Football&lt;/b&gt;, you can have any where from 45 to 80 games on a busy College Football Saturday and with close to 50 reliable and respected &lt;b&gt;Offshore Sportsbooks&lt;/b&gt;, how are we the consumer suppose to take a line move from a (A+) rated Sportsbook as gospel? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus, if there�s one thing I know about College Football, it�s how people want to bet on TV games or teams who are ranked in the top 25 of the AP or Coaches poll. You know, the Michigan�s, USC�s, Ohio State, etc�The big name schools! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Therefore, I�ve gone through 5 of some of the most popular programs and football games for College Football Week 1 and I�ve taken the low and high range of each line moves from the side and totals of each game. Furthermore, I�ve crunched the numbers through my &lt;b&gt;College Football database&lt;/b&gt; and I�ve produced the following against the spread (ATS), straight up (SU) and over/under (O/U) records. Keep in mind, line moves are based much about following a blind mice, because when a line moves, who knows why it�s moving? Is it because the Sportsbooks are trying to get leverage to balance their books, did a huge player just hit them hard with a big bet or is the betting public falling in love with a story from a big media news source? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don�t think if Sportscenter runs a positive story on Tim Teebow at Florida and they spin a positive story and the angle of the story is how they are going to crush their opponent this weekend, you don�t think that will have an effect on the Florida line that weekend? Big time! But, how much can you trust a line move? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here�s 5 games I�ve monitored the line moves and I�ve produced the ATS, SU and O/U record of those past games which involved teams in similar situations these current teams are in this weekend. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Navy (47.0) vs. Ohio State (-21)&lt;/h2&gt;Ohio State has gone from a -20.5 point Home Favorite to -22.5 points and the over/under has bounced up and down by going from 43.5 and 48.0. Here�s some data on this range. When Any Conferences Played as home team as a Favorite with a Spread between -20 and -22.5 and Total is between 43.5 and 48 from January,1 1996 to January,1 2009. 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner: 13 - 21 - 4 ( 38.23 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 37 - 1 - 0 (97.37 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 18 - 20 - 0 (47.37 %) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Division Name: Big Ten (Ohio State) &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner: 1 - 4 - 0 (20 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 4 - 1 - 0 (80 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 2 - 3 - 0 (40 %) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Nevada (62.0) vs. Notre Dame (-14.5)&lt;/h2&gt;Many people believe Nevada can win this game Straight UP (SU) and the range on the IRISH has been huge, they�ve went from a -6.5 point chalk to a -14.5 point home favorite. Here�s the data on this range. When Any Conferences Played as home team as a Favorite with a Spread between -6.5 and -14.5 and Total is between 57.5 and 62 from January,1 1996 to January,1 2009. 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner: 79 - 72 - 3 ( 51.3 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 109 - 45 - 0 (70.78 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 63 - 90 - 1 (41.11 %) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;BYU (66.0) vs. Oklahoma (-22)&lt;/h2&gt;Interesting data on this game, teams from the BIG 12 have never lost a football game in this situation, they are 46-0! Sooners went from a -21 point favorite to a 23 point favorite. When Any Conferences Played as home team as a Favorite with a Spread between -21 and -23.5 from January, 1 1996 to January, 1 2009 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner: 159 - 139 - 2 (53 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 287 - 12 - 1 (95.67 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 73 - 79 - 5 (48.02 %) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Division Name: Big 12 (Oklahoma) &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner: 30 - 16 - 0 (65.22 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 46 - 0 - 0 (100 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 13 - 11 - 1 (54.16 %) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Virginia Tech (38.0) vs. Alabama (-6.5) &lt;/h2&gt;Here�s an interesting game for one reason, when you have two great football programs like the Hokies and the Crimson Tide and you see the O/U at 38.0, you think right away it�s going to be a defensive struggle. However, look at the O/U range below! Plus, this is a neutral site game, so I�ve edited my search to �favorites� only. When Any Conferences Played as Favorite with a Spread between -4.5 and -7 and Total is between 37.5 and 39.5 from January, 1 1996 to January,1 2009. 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner : 11 - 7 - 1 (57.89 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 14 - 5 - 0 (73.68 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 12 - 7 - 0 (63.16 %) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;San Diego State (48.0) vs. UCLA (-19.5)&lt;/h2&gt;The Bruins are a -19.5 point chalk this weekend, but they went from a low of -16.5 points to a high of -20.0. The total on this game has bounced from 48 to 52.5. Here are my findings on this game. When Any Conferences Played as home team as a Favorite with a Spread between -16.5 and -20 and Total is between 48 and 52.5 from January, 1 1996 to January, 1 2009. 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner: 26 - 46 - 0 (36.11 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 62 - 10 - 0 (86.11 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 35 - 37 - 0 (48.61 %)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Division Name: Pacific 10 (UCLA)&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATS Winner: 2 - 7 - 0 (22.22 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SU Winner: 8 - 1 - 0 (88.89 %) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over/Under: 6 - 3 - 0 (66.67 %)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;If you�re interested in 2 of my top plays this weekend, I�ve released my &lt;a href="http://pregame.com/pregamepros/pro-bettor/bettor.aspx?id=11698#capper"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5* CFB UPSET SPECIAL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and I�ve got my &lt;a href="http://pregame.com/pregamepros/pro-bettor/bettor.aspx?id=11698#capper"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5* BEST BET GAME OF THE WEEK&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; up right now in the members area.

&lt;h1&gt;Ron Raymond�s MLB Baseball Picks for Friday, September 04, 2009&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Texas � Baltimore: &lt;b&gt;UNDER 9.0 -110&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Action on game.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;: When ANY MLB Team played as a -120 to -140 Road Favorite - After a conference game - During the month of September - Playing on Friday - Allowed 4 runs or more AGAINST in their last game; The UNDER is 13-4-2 for the Road Fave in this spot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Parity Value Index on the game going UNDER&lt;/b&gt;: 55% &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Minnesota � Cleveland: &lt;b&gt;OVER 9.5 +100&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Action on game.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keys to selection&lt;/b&gt;: When ANY MLB Team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Last 4 years - Playing on Friday - Vs. Right handed pitchers - Coming off a 10 or more Game Road Trip - Coming off a series loss; The OVER is 12-4-0 for the Home Fave in this spot the L4Y. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Parity Value Index on the game going OVER&lt;/b&gt;: 66% &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What exactly is the Parity Value Index? &lt;/h2&gt;Sports Handicapper &lt;a href="http://pregame.com/pregamepros/pro-bettor/bettor.aspx?id=11698#capper" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron Raymond&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; believes everything runs in cycles in the numbers game and what you want to do is take a small cycle of 3 games and a large cycle (overall season record), combined them together which will produce a percentage of what the side and total should be in the next game.&lt;img src="http://pregame.com/forums/aggbug.aspx?PostID=608597" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/BASEBALL+STATS/default.aspx">BASEBALL STATS</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/baseball/default.aspx">baseball</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/baseball+forum/default.aspx">baseball forum</category><category domain="http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/tags/baseball+picks/default.aspx">baseball picks</category></item><item><title>College Football Thursday Night Line Moves (History Search)</title><link>http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/2009/09/01/college-football-thursday-night-line-moves-history-search.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:22:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b99575bc-4fda-4d0b-a780-474f53a1f57e:607065</guid><dc:creator>Ron Raymond</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=607065</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://pregame.com/forums/blogs/ron-raymond/archive/2009/09/01/college-football-thursday-night-line-moves-history-search.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;College Football Thursday Night Line Moves (History Search)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The offshore and Las Vegas Sportsbooks have released their College Football lines since the 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of August and the line has fluctuated all over the place in some cases. Here?s what I?ve done. I?ve gone through each College Football game for Thursday and searched the line range on each side and total and then matched the range against my database to see if I can find any value between the line move ranges for the sides and totals. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;I?ve gone through each game and took the high and low point of each sides and total and then ran a search query on each situation and I?ve come up with the following facts. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="MARGIN:12pt 0in 3pt;"&gt;Thursday, September 03, 2009 &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="MARGIN:12pt 0in 3pt;"&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
