    Analysis

    This was a very competitive game two weeks ago in Chicago when Dayton survived 70-68, but hardly sure Loyola does as well in the rematch. The Ramblers have been stumbling ever since, regressing back to early-season form when breaking extremely slow from the gate. Three more losses have ensued, including a heavy beating absorbed at GW last weekend. The defense has softened (87 ppg allowed last three), and top scorer G Justin Moore missed the midweek loss to George Mason, though frosh Nic Anderson stepped in to score 17 in his first start. The Flyers, however, continue to win, 4-0 in A-10 action, and ready to extend the margin behind sr. G Javon Bennett (16.6 ppg), who scored 24 in the first meeting. Play Dayton

    Picked: Jan 16 @ 1:50am

    Analysis

    Bot quite as much aura of invincibility surrounding the Avs after losses in three of their last five, including Wednesday night in Denver against the visiting Maple Leafs. The Preds enter Ball Arena having pulled to the brink of a wild card spot in the West after an extended uptick that's seen Nashville win 16 of its past 24. Though the Preds have drooped two of three vs. the Avs, they did beat them in a shootout 4-3 on December 9 as Juuse Saros saved all three shots after Ryan O'Reilly converted for Nashville. Saros likely back in the nets tonight for the Preds, who have won their last six with Juuse that went into OTs or shootouts. Play Preds on Puck Line

    Anytime TD Scorer
    Picked: Jan 13 @ 9:52am

    Analysis

    I'm not entirely sure what we're doing with this number, because everyone else just saw Allen score two rushing touchdowns against the Jaguars (the best rush defense in football) despite battling 50 different injuries he picked up during the game. The Bills only path to winning the Super Bowl is with Josh Allen turning into Superman the rest of the way. He already did it against the Jags and dragged the Bills into the Divisional Round. I would fully expect we see more of it against the Broncos and he absolutely will not hesitate to put his body on the line and plunge across the goal line. Basically even money early in the week is an autobet on Allen to score.

    Receptions
    Picked: Jan 13 @ 11:32am

    Analysis

    FanDuel. Khalil Shakir cleared this line in 9/16 games in the regular season, and is very clearly Josh Allen’s most trusted target in high-pressure situations. Allen, who is banged up, will likely be thrust into passing situations (Broncos run defense ranks 2nd in DVOA), and Shakir should be in position to capitalize. Running most his routes out of the slot, he’ll avoid Patrick Surtain on the outside. The Broncos allow the fifth-highest target rate to slot pass catchers (36%, per Fantasy Points). Denver allowed the third most catches to pass catchers in the slot and out wide for nine air yards or less (11.2 per game). Shakir’s aDOT is 3.6 yards, with 82% of his targets coming in at less than 10 air yards.

    Spread
    Picked: Jan 13 @ 11:34am

    Analysis

    Second game in six days for the Bills and second in 23 days for the Broncos. Buffalo got pretty battered in that Jacksonville loss with safety Jordan Poyer and WR Gabe Davis already ruled out for this one. Denver is only the second No. 1 seed ever to be an underdog in the Divisional Round. The first one was victorious (Eagles). Buffalo's No. 1 rush offense was largely held in check by the Jaguars. The Broncos ranked No. 2 vs. the run.
