Minnesota enters this game 27-14-4 on the season. Minnesota has lost 3 of their last 4 games losing to tough opponents like Colorado, Vegas and Edmonton. Minnesota is getting a much needed defenseman back in Brock Faber for this game. Minnesota is 16-4-3 on the road this season.

Nashville enters this game after back to back wins 5-3 against Vegas and 3-2 in a shootout against Chicago in their last game.

Minnesota has won both meetings between the teams this season and have won 4 of the last 6 meetings. Minnesota won’t forget that Nashville knocked out their captain with a dirty slew foot by Zachary L'Heureux.

Pick: Minnesota Wild ML (+116) at Fanduel

Philly beat L.A. 37-20 earlier this season (Nov. 24) at SoFi Stadium, as the Eagles outgained the Rams 481-290 in total yards with 314 yards on the ground (7.0 YPC). Los Angeles was 0-for-8 on third down and lost the time of possession and turnover battles.

Los Angeles' defense shined against Minnesota, but that may have said more about Vikings QB Sam Darnold than anything else, as he was indecisive and his offensive line continued to struggle in pass protection. While the Rams' fast, small defense took advantage of that matchup, the Eagles' power run scheme is a different beast. Saquon Barkley ran all over L.A. in the first matchup, toting the rock 26 times for 255 yards (9.8 YPC) and two scores, with 47 receiving yards for good measure. The Philadelphia o-line mauled the Rams' defensive front, as Barkley averaged 7.3 yards before contact. Los Angeles has not been good on early downs defensively this season and allowed over 28 points per game against teams with top-ten rushing offenses. In short, don't expect Philadelphia to throw it a ton.

On the other side of the ball, I can't envision a great offensive performance by Los Angeles on a short week after traveling cross-country to play in freezing weather. Matthew Stafford won't look the same in Sunday's conditions as he has indoors this season. I expect Philadelphia to take away the Rams' deep game, forcing L.A. into a more run-heavy script. Let's not forget that the first matchup between these games wasn't particularly close, as Philly led 37-14 at the two-minute warning.

Bet on Philadelphia to cover the six-point spread with ease!

I'm betting on the under at 43.5 in Sunday's game, as the weather will be a factor, slowing down the tempo. The Rams' defense won't shine like they did versus Minnesota, but they'll bring the effort and intensity. It may not help them cover the spread, but I won't be surprised if they have some success early in the game. That said, Philadelphia led the NFL in average time of possession (32:16) and run rate (55.9%) this season and dominated Los Angeles on the ground in the last matchup, so I don't expect them to veer from their game plan on Sunday. With the Rams unlikely to have much success through the air, aside from shorter routes, the under looks like the best bet on the total.

I'm anticipating a 24-10 type of game, with Philadelphia on top.

Saturday Card has 2 Perfect NFL Divisional Round TOP Play one is a Side and the other a Total. In CBB we have the SEC Play of the year and a TIER 1 in Afternoon. There is also NBA and Soccer. Comp play below

The College hoops Comp play is on Oregon St plus the points over SF at 10 eastern. The Beavers are off a big upset home dog win over Gonzaga in their last game in over time. Now they travel to SF to take on the Dons. Most will fade the Beavers off the upset win. However, looking at road teams off a home dog win at +8 or higher are 7-1 if they won the prior game as a road favorite. SF is a nice team at 15-5 but are just 2-2 the last 4 and have had trouble through the years vs teams that were from the PAC 12 and this will be a tough game. Take the points with Oregon St. Rob V-

Taking a shot with the Champ at big plus money

#680 ASA FREE PLAY ON UL Monroe +2 over Louisiana, Saturday at 3 PM ET - Two bad teams going at it here but we feel ULM is a very solid play as a home dog. These 2 met last Saturday @ Louisiana and the host won the game 71-68. The Rajin Cajuns largest lead of the game was just 4 points while ULM blew an 11 point lead in the 2nd half. ULL made 11 three pointers in that tight win while ULM made only 5 so we had an 18 point difference in favor of the Rajin Cajuns from beyond the arc and they still only won by 3 at home. Louisiana led for just 10 of the 40 minutes of game time in that win one week ago. Both these teams rank near the bottom of the Sun Belt in conference play in offensive and defensive efficiency which isn’t surprising as ULM has 4 wins on the season and ULL has 5. However, Monroe’s stats at home have been much better than their road marks shooting 45% overall and 35% from deep. Compare that with Louisiana’s road marks of 37% overall and 23% from beyond the arc and we should not only have distinct advantages on the court and situationally with ULM in this game. On top of that, Monroe played here on Wednesday and lost to Troy (3rd highest rated team in the Sun Belt) while Louisiana played on Thursday night @ Arkansas State and lost by 20 so an extra day for the Warhawks. We had a similar situation last year when ULL won at home in a tight game (by 8) and then traveled to UL Monroe and lost by 6 as a road favorite. We like Monroe to win this game at home.

Don't be too shocked if top-seeded Auburn gets upset today by Georgia. I'm certainly willing to take this many points with home underdog Georgia to find out.

Yes, the Bulldogs just suffered their worst loss of the season falling on the road to sixth-ranked Tennessee, 74-56, this past Wednesday. That should only add to the emotion and motivation Georgia will experience hosting No. 1 Auburn.

The 23rd-ranked Bulldogs are 11-0 at home this season. This includes SEC home victories versus Kentucky and Oklahoma.

A big reason for my Georgia optimism is Auburn not having star senior 6-foot-10 Johni Broome, who leads the Tigers in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots. Broome is out with an ankle injury. The Tigers wanted to prove they could win without their superstar. They beat Mississippi State, 88-66, at home this past Tuesday.

Now the Tigers have to play again without Broome only this time on the road. Auburn has played only three true road games. They are just plus two points in these away games. That was with Broome.

Georgia ranks ninth nationally in defensive rebounding. The Bulldogs can exploit Broome's injury with 6-foot-11 Asa Newell, who averages a team-best 15.3 points and also leads the team in rebounding.
