Davids's 4% Rockets @ Hawks NBA *BIG BET BANGER*

We really like the over in this matchup.

The Rockets (2-0) are averaging 121 points a night and shooting close to 43% from three. They're on the second night of a back-to-back after facing the Spurs, which usually means tired legs on the defensive end.

The Hawks (2-0) have come out firing, averaging 130 points per game, they'll look to push the pace at home against a Rockets team playing on short rest.

Two efficient offenses, one tired defense and a home team that loves to run point to plenty of points.

This is a 4% play on the OVER!

avid's Sharks @ Bruins NHL BANKROLL BOO$TER*

We really like the OVER in this matchup. The Sharks (6-4-1) have found their scoring touch, putting up 10 goals in wins over Montreal and Ottawa, but they're still allowing over three goals per game and got outshot 43-28 last time out.

The Bruins (8-2-1) have earned points in seven straight and are averaging nearly four goals per game, with four or more goals in six of their last seven. Boston beat San Jose 6-3 earlier this month

A red-hot Bruins attack against a leaky Sharks defense, with San Jose able to answer back, sets up a high-event game.

This is a 3% play on the OVER.

David's 4% Sabres @ Caps NHL BIG BET BANGER*

We really like the over in this matchup. The Sabres (4-4-2) have been one of the league's leakier defensive teams early, and six of their 10 games have cleared 6.5 goals. Their goaltending hasn't bailed them out much either, with a save percentage under .880.

The Capitals (5-4-0) have a revamped forward group and plenty of finishing at home, and they've also been loose in their own end, with five of their nine games going over this number.

Both teams are giving up chances in bunches and neither is getting saves, so this sets up as an up-and-down game. We like this one to fly over the total.

This is a 4% play on the OVER.

David's NCAAF *TOTAL OF THE MONTH*

We really like the under in this matchup. The RedHawks (4-3) are leaning hard on the ground game and grinding the clock, and their defense allows the fewest rushing yards in the MAC. Four of their last five games were decided by a touchdown or less.

The Chippewas (3-4) scored just 14 points in each of their last two losses, to Ohio and Western Michigan, and their heavy rushing attack runs straight into the strength of the Miami defense. Only two of Central Michigan's seven games have gone over the total this season

Two run-first offenses chewing clock in a MAC grinder points to a low-scoring, field-position game. We like this one to stay under the number.

This is a 5% play on the UNDER.

David's Rays @ Brewers WS G2 *BANKROLL BOOMER*

We really like the Rays in this matchup. The Rays dropped a 3-2 nail-biter in Game 1, going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and leaving the tying runs at second and third in the ninth. They turn to RHP Drew Rasmussen (16-5, 2.67 ERA), who is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA this postseason, and their strike-throwing staff is built to neutralize a patient lineup like Milwaukee's.

The Brewers counter with RHP Logan Henderson (11-3, 2.47 ERA), but their bullpen is being leaned on hard, with the same three arms carrying the final four innings again last night. The Rays outplayed Milwaukee for long stretches of Game 1 and just didn't get the breaks. With their ace on the mound, we expect them to even this series before heading home to the Trop.

This is a 3% play on the RAYS ML
