Allan looks ahead to Chargers-Broncos on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET. He notes how well Denver has fared defensively in their wins and also highlights Los Angeles' success against its divisional opponents. The Coach supplies the SportsLine Play of the Day, backing the Capitals -115 over the Panthers at 5 p.m. ET. Florida is great at home but mediocre on the road.Â
Staying on the ice, Allie recommends the Wild -130 over the Jets at 3:30 p.m. ET. Minnesota should score enough to prevail at home, and Winnipeg has cooled off since the teams last met.Â
Micah is on the Warriors -6.5 over the Blazers at 10 p.m. ET. Portland is struggling big time on the road, and Micah is amazed by the way the Warriors have started the season, sharing some very eye-opening trends. He says the spread is not where it should be for Golden State yet. He is also taking the Warriors and Gonzaga in a money line parlay. Gonzaga is facing Duke at 10:30 p.m. ET and the Bulldogs are continuing to bury their opponents. Gonzaga has reloaded very impressively with an outstanding freshman class.Â
Allan has a pair of college football plays, leading with Cincinnati -14 over East Carolina at 3:30 p.m. ET. "Cincy quarterback Desmond Ridder is 3-0 in his career vs. ECU," he says. "Cincy is averaging 40 points per game on offense and their defense is only allowing 16 points per game. The Bearcats are 4-0 ATS vs. opponents with winning records." He is also taking Ohio -6 over Bowling Green at noon ET.Â
Larry's featured NFL play is the Panthers -1.5 over the Dolphins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. He calls Miami's recent success "a mirage" and says the Dolphins have not faced a defense of Carolina's caliber recently.Â
