On Sunday the NBA System Play is on the Boston Celtics plus the 4-5 points here tonight. Game 810 at 6:35 eastern. This game fits another of our Solid systems from the database. We want to play against rested road teams like Brooklyn with a total that is 180 or higher if they scored 90 or more points as a home favorite in their last game and failed to cover the spread by 1-3 points and are taking on an opponent that scored 90 or less points in a home spread loss by 7 or more points. These road teams are 5-24 to the spread and a terrible 0-8 straight up and ats in this system if they were favored by 4 or less in that close home spread loss. The Nets barely escaped Dallas at home and Boston was blown out here by Oklahoma City to set this system in motion tonight. The Celtics are 7-0 ats at home off a home dog loss and 5-2 ats if they scored 85 or less last out and they have covered 4 of 5 vs Division opponents. Brooklyn is 0-3 straight up as a road favorite from -3.5 to -6 and is a lousy 4-15 ats on Sunday. After allowing 105 or more they have failed to cover in 4 of 5. Look for Boston to at the very least cover the spread. Take Boston.


The 2014 Pro Bowl selection is on Team Rice. Game 495 at 7:30 eastern. Team Rice appears to have the more talented and explosive big game roster. Below is the preview of the game and some of the new changes for this years Pro Bowl.


The NFL's attempt to reinvigorate the Pro Bowl kicks off this week in Honolulu on Sunday when the NFL's top players compete at Aloha Stadium.

his will be the first time, the Pro Bowl will be going with the "unconferenced format," and several rules have been changed in an effort to add some interest to a game that has been blasted for its lack of competitiveness. No more is the familiar AFC-NFC dynamic that has existed since 1971, it is now replaced by Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders who are serving as alumni team captains for the two Pro Bowl squads. Rice and Sanders began shaping the 2014 Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday. Last year, the NFC set a Pro Bowl scoring record by knocking off the AFC, 62-35. Some changes for this year. A two-minute warning will be added to the first and third quarters and the ball will change hands after each quarter. This should increase the chances for quarterbacks to direct more two-minute drills. No Kickoffs: The coin toss will determine which team is awarded possession first. The ball will be placed on the 25-yard line at the start of each quarter and after scoring plays.The defense will be permitted to play cover-2 or press coverage. In previous years, only man coverage was permitted, except on goal-line situations. An interesting side bar to the game is that this will be the last time Tony Gonzalez laces them up. We think he goes out with a win here tonight. Take Team Rice
