Hawaii Bowl and NBA Picks

Hawaii Bowl

Top Pick:

Nevada/Southern Miss over 63
This is part historical play as much as it is about the current teams. It seems that looking at the history of the hawaii bowl games over the years and under various names that these bowl games inveritably go over the total. Blame it on the beautiful scenery or maybe sunburn but it does not seem like teams ever bring a strong defensive effort.

Looking at S. Miss, they used to be known as a defensive team  with the motto "of playing anyone anywhere" and relying on their defese to kepp them in games. In recent years they have morphed into an offensive minded team and I look for them to have another big offensive game.

Nevada has always been an offensive minded team and they have improved ther offense over the season and they will score as well.

Take the over in this one.

NBA

Two NBA games to get the season started-

Top Pick

Chicago -4 vs LA Lakers

Lean

Dallas +4 vs Miami

Chicago- Tale of two offseasons, both teams came off disappointing losses however the Bulls have spent the offseason getting better for this season while the Lakers are scrambling to figure out how to rebuild their team for another dynasty run. The difference will be apparent in this game as the bulls will dominate and the Lakers will turn up the heat on how to acquire Dwight Howard.

Dallas- Picking up where we left off last year, this will be a close one coming down to the last possession, Heat may win but won't cover the 4.
