Two Free Sports Betting Predictions for Sunday, March 28th 2010
Chicago Bulls vs. Detroit Pistons
Free Pick: Detroit -2 (March 28th 2010 – Big Al McMordie)
At 6:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Detroit Pistons minus the points over Chicago. Detroit comes into this Sunday evening game off seven straight losses, but this is a perfect spot to step in and take the home team. Earlier this season, Chicago routed Detroit 120-87, and the Bulls have won the last six meetings overall. But Detroit has been installed as a 2-point home favorite here, and that number is key, as we note that, since 1990, NBA home favorites of -2 or more points, are a solid 31-10 ATS if they’re playing with revenge from a 25-point (or worse) defeat, and are off a SU/ATS loss, while their opponent is off a SU/ATS win. With Chicago in off a blowout win over New Jersey last night, and Detroit off (coincidentally) to a loss to that same New Jersey team on Friday, we’ll play on Detroit here as the small home favorite. Good luck, as always…Big Al McMordie.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
Free Pick: Pittsburgh PL (March 28th 2010 – Nick Parsons)
Both teams are playing the second game of a back-to-back; for a number of different reasons I expect the Penguins to smoke the Leafs today: No doubt about it, Toronto has been playing much better of late; its won nine of its last twelve. It’s coming off a hard fought come from behind 3-2 victory over the Rangers. Jonas Gustavson has been a major reason for Toronto’s turn around, however J. S. Giguere is scheduled in net today. On the other side of the rink: The Pens stopped a three-game slide yesterday with a dominating 4-1 victory over the Flyers which was the first game of a six-game home stand. With that victory, Pittsburgh moves into a tie for first in the Atlantic with New Jersey; however the Pens have one fewer victory and are currently in fourth in the Eastern Conference; it goes without saying that every point from here on out down the stretch is crucial for this club. Captain Sidney Crosby will be looking to break out of a seven-game goal-scoring drought.
Bottom line: Pittsburgh lost to Toronto at home back on the 9th of January, 4-1, so will also be looking to avenge that embarrassing effort. But, more than anything, Pittsburgh needs wins to end the season. It needs to enter the playoffs on a high if it expects to defend its title. A dominating performance in front of the home town crowd against a team that played less than 24 hours previous is a good way to start that process; I’ll lay the 1 1/2 here for the + $.
