This looks like a great spot to fade the Vancouver Canucks as they'll be playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back following a 5-1 win over Philadelphia Saturday night. They're 1-9 in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest and and will host an Edmonton team which has won eight of its last 10 and five of the last seven meetings with the Nucks.

The New York Knicks had lost five on the bounce (0-5 ATS) before putting an end to the skid with a 126-124 OT win as a 10-point underdog at Charlotte Friday night. Huge letdown spot for the Knicks here, and they'll face a red hot Indiana team off six straight wins, covering the spread in each of the last five.

The Pacers have held opponents to an average of 96 points during the six-game run while the Knicks have allowed 110 points or more in nine straight games.

Knicks are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 Sunday games. Pacers are 37-15-1 ATS in their last 53 Sunday games.

The New England Patriots should be extremely fired up for this one after a wild loss at Miami last week. The Pats were on the verge of clinching their 10th consecutive AFC East title before losing to a last-second stunner.

I think they'll be back in business and take out their frustrations on the Steelers here Sunday afternoon.

Pittsburgh has lost three in a row SU and ATS and has struggled to slow down opposing QBs. Derek Carr was allowed to throw for 322 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 24-21 Oakland win last week, not very encouraging for Steelers backers considering Patriots QB Tom Brady is coming off a 358 yard outing with three TD passes.

Patriots are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games in December and 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS vs. the Steelers since 2013.

Steelers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games in December and have covered the spread in only three of their last 11 at home.

Two red hot teams will do battle at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday afternoon as the Indianapolis Colts, who have won six of their last seven, host a Dallas team on a five-game winning streak.

The motivation is on the home team's side though with the Cowboys having the division all but locked down while the Colts one of several AFC South teams chasing a division title or wild-card playoff spot.

Dallas is just 2-4 on the road and it's offense doesn't travel, averaging only 17.2 ppg which is way below its 21.2 points per game average overall. The Colts offense is tremendous at home averaging 31.3 ppg and I think the home team will win this one rather comfortably.

8* play on Indianapolis Colts.

The Denver Broncos are in the battle for the sixth and final seed in the AFC playoffs, but their postseason aspirations took a big hit with a 20-14 loss at San Francisco last week.

I think the Broncos are in for another tough matchup when hosting the Cleveland Browns Sunday afternoon.

The Browns will not make it to the playoffs (bar a miracle), but that doesn't mean that that they've stopped competing. This is a Cleveland team eager to figure out how to win again after being everyone's punching bag for so long, and it's doing quite well with three wins through its last four games.

Broncos are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in December.

Free pick on Cleveland Browns.

The red hot Boston Celtics are looking to make it eight wins in a row as they visit Little Caesars Arena Saturday night. They'll be playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back, but they didn't have to put in much of an effort to beat Atlanta 129-108 Friday night. The Celtics led 108-82 after three quarters and let their reserves take over in the fourth quarter.

Here Boston will face a Detroit team which is in a huge slump coming off six straight defeats, and its 108-107 loss at Charlotte Wednesday night was the first time during the skid the Pistons even covered the spread.

The Celtics have covered the spread in six straight matchups at Detroit and I expect them to get the job done once again.

The Houston Texans saw their nine-game winning streak come to an end with a 24-21 home loss against Indianapolis last week.

I expect to see an angry Texans team ready to go on another run to enter Met Life stadium here on Saturday.

The Jets are in the complete opposite spot as they snapped a six-game losing streak with a 27-23 triumph at Buffalo last week. They won despite a massive disadvantage in yardage, and I don't see how they could possibly keep up with Houston in this contest.

8* play on Houston Texans.

The Fresno State Bulldogs have allowed just 13.7 ppg on the season and limited Boise State to 350 yards of total offense and 16 points last time out. Under is 13-3 in Bulldogs last 16 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game.

The Bulldogs managed just 19 points on 288 yards of total offense themselves against the Broncos though and I expect this to be a low-scoring game.

The Arizona State Sun Devils are coming off a 41-40 win over Arizona and have played several high-scoring contests lately, but note that they'll' be without No. 1 receiver N'Keal Harry for this contest.

10* play on UNDER.

The Seton Hall Pirates have won five of their last six games will enter this contest with great confidence following an 84-83 overtime win over No. 9 Kentucky Wildcats on national television Dec. 8.

They're 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win and will face a Rutgers team off three straight defeats, the most recent a 78-70 loss as an 8-point favorite at Fordham. The Scarelet Knights have struggled on the defensive end lately, giving up an average of 75 ppg through their last four contests.

Seton Hall is averaging 73.8 ppg home at Prudential Center and I think the Pirates have too much firepower for the visitors to cope with.

10* play on Seton Hall.

Both the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets rank in the top 5 for scoring defense. Under is 15-6 in Thunder last 21 road games and 7-2 in Nuggets last nine home games vs. a team with a winning road record (OKC is 7-6 on the road).

Five of the last seven meetings have gone under the total and we saw just a total of 203 points scored when they clashed last month.

8* play on UNDER.
