Locks

NFL 2-Team 7-Point Teaser Saints -3, Steelers PK (-130):

The Chicago Bears are the worst team to get into the playoffs, period, outside of Washington. Mitchell Trubisky is still not good and this game is being played in New Orleans, spelling even more disaster for the Bears. Trubisky stands no chance against the New Orleans Saints defense.

As for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they get to take on the COVID-stricken Cleveland Browns who are missing head coach Kevin Stefanski along with some key players. The Browns had a hard enough time securing a win against Pittsburgh’s backups last week so I expect the Steelers to handle business today at full strength.

NCAA Basketball – Minnesota @ Iowa -9.5 (-110):

Is nobody paying attention to how Minnesota plays on the road against the top Big Ten competition? In games at Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, the Gophers have not even been competitive, losing all three games by an average margin of 21.3 points. They also shoot more than 10 percentage points below their season average and score 19 PPG under the season average away from the Barn.

Iowa has been rolling and is looking for revenge, so I’m predicting another rough outing for Minnesota. The previous two conference home games in Iowa City were comfortable 15-point wins and I see something similar here.

Degenerates

NCAA Basketball – Radford -2.5 @ Charleston Southern (-110):

Beware the doubleheader zig-zag. Seriously, it’s real, it’s a pattern for these teams, and the only reason this game isn’t included in the Locks section. Radford showed me in Saturday’s matchup that they’re serious about taking care of business against the Big South bottom feeders — they really held Charleston Southern down defensively, only allowing 36.8% shooting.

If they can continue that kind of defense, they’ll cover this number against an overmatched opponent. But as I mentioned in the cap of yesterday’s game, the Buccaneers have kept their rematch games to only 2-point losses, so beware the zig-zag.

Tiny Nick is 95-49 ATS (+46.2 Units) on his Locks since joining Zone Coverage. 

Every day he will offer his Locks and Degenerate picks. Locks are the games he’s confident in. Degenerates are entertaining, but riskier picks.
