The PAC-12 title game has playoff implications for just one team but should nevertheless be a competitive game. The fifth-ranked Utah Utes completed their best regular season since 2008, and have a realistic path to the College Football Playoff. The Oregon Ducks are still lamenting their slip up against Arizona State two weeks ago as they too could be entering this matchup at 11-1 with a shot at a playoff berth but at 10-2, they're playing mostly for pride. The Utes played most of their sole loss to USC without star running back Zack Moss, who led the conference with 1,246 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns. The ground-game production of Moss allowed for a more effficient and explosive passing game from QB Tyler Huntley this year as Huntley completed 75.5 percent of his 249 attempts and gained an average of 11.1 yards per attempt. The Ducks' mackup this time around is a bit different as well as the hurry-up, no-huddle concepts that defined Oregon football for the latter half of the 2000s and first half of this decade are gone and replaced with a more physical style of football with a balanced run-pass approach predicated on dominant offensive-line play. The Ducks' offense is led by pro prospect QB Justin Herbert, who completed 67.5 percent of his passes while throwing for 3,140 yards and 31 touchdowns to just five interceptions. This game is taking place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California and weather forecasts are calling for heavy rain and windy conditions throughout. This obviously favours the team that runs the ball but we believe this benefits Oregon more from a passing standpoint as their QB has the stronger arm and is more capable of dealing with the conditions in our opinion. Both sides have a solid ground game and a good hard-hitting physical defense. The Utes' secondary is a bit suspect and while they will be aided by the weather, we believe the quarterback play will be the difference in the end. While the Ducks have less to play for than the Utes, this is still important for the team to win a conference championship and for the many seniors that returned for a final season. Motivation shouldn't be an issue and had the Ducks not slipped up against Arizona State, this number would be much closer to evens! We simply can't pass up getting a touchdown at this price, especially given the low total!

PREMIUM BETTING PICK - Ready for another great weekend? In the meantime, we are giving this pick to free users! —————The Blades are doing great, but a reality check is needed. Chris Wilder’s team won just 4 from 14 matches, seven ended in draws. While they are unbeaten on the road, back at Bramall Lane they lost 3 from 7 games. If anything, Sheffield United are better playing away and they are being priced based on home advantage! The Magpies have been in fantastic form. At the weekend they twice came from behind to draw with Manchester City. Steve Bruce has the players to handle away trips, and they have the attackers to get behind the Sheffield defence! Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has a fully-fit squad for the Bramall Lane clash but has admitted he may shuffle his pack this week - at Norwich on Sunday if not against Newcastle. "We've got everybody fit," the Blades boss said. "That gives us the opportunity to rotate if we want to, whether we do it Thursday night or Sunday." Oli McBurnie, Callum Robinson, Luke Freeman and Billy Sharp are among those pushing for more involvement. Newcastle forward Andy Carroll and defender DeAndre Yedlin have shaken off injuries and could be involved after returning to training. Carroll has made only seven substitute appearances since rejoining Newcastle in the close season due to ankle and groin issues, while Yedlin missed the 2-2 draw with Manchester City due to a hip problem. Defender Florian Lejeune is closing in on his first game of the campaign having come back from two anterior cruciate ligament injuries last season but boss Steve Bruce has suggested he will exercise caution over his reintegration.

CJ Miles and Thomas Bryant are out for the Wizards and Moritz Wagner is questionable. With Ian Mahinmi also sidelined from a long term injury, the Wizards won't have any centers in their lineup if Wagner can't go. The Sixers will miss Josh Richardson and Trey Burke is questionable. The Sixers have a fantastic matchup with their size inside and we expect the Wizards to concede the paint and just go small and try to speed things up. The Wizards play fast as is with minimal defense and we expect them to bomb away from deep in an effort to keep up with the Sixers' efficient scoring inside. Shootout!

S Jeff Heath, LB Leighton Vander Esch and DT Antwaun Woods are out for the Cowboys. RB Tony Pollard is questionable. For the Bears, WR Taylor Gabriel, TE Ben Braunecker, OT Bobby Massie and LB Danny Trevathan have been ruled out. CB Prince Amukamara is doubtful. Bears' embattled QB Mitch Trubisky has looked much better over the past 4 games or so and this has been a product of the Bears relying more on their ground game. While it's true the overall quality of opponents has been poor over those games, the Cowboys' defense has trended in the wrong direction and rank in the bottom 3rd of the league against both the run and pass by success rate metrics. The Cowboys' bring one of the top offenses to this game but playing outdoors against a top defense should provide additional challenges for a team that's still struggling with special teams and coaching issues. We tipped the Bills outright for this very reason on Thanksgiving Day and we will continue to oppose this team until we see improvement in those areas.

Join Premium if you want the other two in EPL, and bare in mind that we are now entering one of the most crucial times of our betting season - Ready to take a leap of faith admin@betting-analyst.com ————Wolves are 7th in the league table, and unbeaten in 13 league and Europa league games. The only defeat was an EFL match when they lost with bench players to Aston Villa. However, we should point to the fact Wolves won just 4/14 (league), and 8 of there matches ended in draws. Many Portuguese coaches play conservative football, and letting Braga come from 1-3 behind to draw (3-3) last weeks Europa league match suggested Wolves are programmed to play draws! The Hammers bounced back at the weekend to beat Chelsea, and they did that by stopping there opponent from playing. This will be a different type of game, albeit has the away team they will be able to invite their opponent to come forwards. For Wolves, Ryan Bennett remains a doubt with a groin issue and Morgan Gibbs-White is out due to a back injury, but Romain Saiss is back from suspension. West Ham will still be without Manuel Lanzini and Lukasz Fabianski for the visit to the Black Country while Jack Wilshere and Winston Reid have both returned to training, but the game may come too soon. With that nostalgic win behind them, the not always consistent visitor can go on and get something here!

With regards to yesterdays matches, Bordeaux win 6-0 and Brest 5-0! Lille won their first away game of the season, ironic it was in Lyon! Reims are back into the habit of drawing, and while that is better than losing the Champagne club are becoming extremely boring! At the weekend, David Guion’s side where reduced to ten men on 72 minutes, and at the time they where 1-0 behind against Bordeaux. However, an injury time lofted pass landed at the feet of Boulaye Dia and he scored a cracking goal to earn an unlikely equaliser. To be fair Reims deserved the point, because their opponents where guilty of doing nothing with the position and lead! With regards to todays game, the visitors will get Cafaro back from suspension. On this occasion Romao will serve a one match ban, nothing else changed! Drawing is better than defeats, and in the case of Amiens they lost three in succession. Nevertheless, only one of those was at home, and prior to that they had beaten Marseille (3-1) and Brest (1-0). At the weekend, the players coached by Luka Elsner where giving a good display in Montpellier, upto the time of Juan Otero getting sent (53) off for lashing out at an opponent. Suffice to say Otero is suspended for tonight, but on a positive note centre-back Chedjou is back from the same. The coach is optimistic that striker Guirassy (top goalscorer) could return from injury, but Bodmer might need a bit more time! Amiens do have an ‘’all or nothing’’ type of game, and we are clearly hoping they have a good night here. Last season the hosts won this fixture 4-1, and at these odds they are clearly overpriced!

I don't have permission to add this, but it's a quiet day for sport and we need a couple for the site! ------------If you want all NFL/NBA/NCAAF tips join Premium - To get started admin@betting-analyst.com -----------The Thunder are coming off a home and home sweep of the Pelicans over the weekend and enter this matchup with a mediocre 8-11 record. On the other side, the Pacers have fully recovered from their early season slump and sit at 13-7 on the year with 6 wins in their last 7 games. Edmond Sumner, Jakarr Sampson and Victor Oladipo all remain out for the visitors. Hamidou Diallo remains out for the hosts. The Pacers blew away the Thunder last month in a 111-85 victory at Indiana. Nevertheless, we believe the Pacers played at their best and caught the Thunder at their worst with the game snowballing out of control early. Chesapeake Arena is one of the tougher places for visiting teams to play and with revenge on their minds, the hosts should at least keep this competitive and shouldn't be such small favourites in our opinion. Thunder big man Steven Adams finally looks to be getting healthy and into form while Pacers' center Myles Turner is still struggling to return from his ankle issue. Pounding the ball into the paint should be a priority for the hosts and we believe they have more than fair chances to win this.

Syndicate football pick - If you are ready to take your betting seriously, sign up to our Football syndicate picks. To get started admin@betting-analyst.com ———It’s probably fair to suggest France Ligue 1 is much of a muchness. With that said PSG will run away with the title, and a handful of teams have the chance to claim a European spot. Both Lyon and Lille would fit into the latter category, albeit they will need to find more consistency and keep players fit. The latter is ultra important in France, because while squad sizes might be 25/26, the truth is only 16/17 are considered first team material! Both these teams have 22 points from 15 games. Lyon took half of those points from seven (3–2-2) home matches, whereas Lille are the best host (20 points) in the league! If you want to talk about sublime, Les Dogues are the conversation starter. Afterall, they are also the worst (2 points) traveller in the league! Both Lyon) and Lille are involved in Champions league, and in the case of Lyon they are heading into the knockout stages of one competition. We can safely say that has Rudi Garcia’s side have guaranteed themselves at least third place, and they have a big chance of making the top two. Lille on the other hand managed just one point from five games, and they have nothing to play for when they travel to Chelsea! The hosts are in better physical shape now than for most of the season, and Marcal is now free of suspension. On friday night Les Gones came from a goal down to beat (1-2) Strasbourg, so with home advantage they are clearly the team to beat!

BEST BET - He comes with a good flat mark, but SOUTH SEAS was a miler in that sphere. Getting him to stay 2 mile of testing ground is challenge number one. I’ve seen enough of KEEP ROLLING, he’s hardly inspiring. Guys i’m all-in on FIRST LORD DE CUET! He made a pleasing return to the track, set very high levels in a bumper and comes from a stable in fantastic form. Granted a bit of luck in running, the 5 year old should have this!

In a Western Conference showdown between two of the top teams, the 13-4 Nuggets host the 17-3 Lakers. The Lakers had won 10 in a row before the Mavericks came into Staples Center on Sunday and exacted some revenge in a 114-100 win. The Nuggets had won 10 of their last 11 but were inexcplicably stopped by the Kings on Saturday in overtime. Avery Bradley is out for the visitors. Jerami Grant is probable for the hosts. The Nuggets have one of the strongest home court advantages due to the altitude but the Lakers aren't overly reliant on outside shots and they have a strong inside presence with Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard to combat Nuggets Nikola Jokic. In what's likely a playoff matchup, we expect both sides to be fully invested but these games tend to showcase offensive abilities rather than turning into a defensive game. We like two bets for this game!
