I'm playing on EASTERN WASHINGTON. In last season's firet meeting, the Bengals scored a 75-69 upset. When the teams met again, laying -13.5, the Bengals won 100-75. When these teams met a couple of days ago, the Bengals scored the upset. Once again, I expect the Eagles to have their revenge in a major way. Prior to Wednesday's loss, the Eagles had been on a major roll. They'd gone 5-0 SU/ATS their previous five. In fact, they'd won nine straight while going 7-2 ATS. That included a 4-0 SU/ATS mark at home, the wins coming by an average of nearly 16 points. While the Bengals are 9-14 ATS their last 23 when playing with one day's rest, the Eagles are 20-8 ATS, when doing so, during the same span. Bengals are 4-13 ATS L17, off a conf. win, an ugly 44-74 ATS in that situation over the years. Lay the points and expect a blowout. 

I'm playing on TEXAS-ARLINGTON. The #3 seed Mavericks are favored for good reason in this one. The #6 seed Trojans score just 60.2 ppg when playing away from home. The Mavericks, on the other hand, score 72 ppg, when playing on the road. These teams didn't meet during the reg. season but they have met in the first week of March, each of the past two years. In both cases, the Mavericks won by double-digits, 78-64 on 3/3/20 and 79-66 on 3/2/19. They were laying -5.5 and -5 for those games. While Troy hasn't won a game in a month, Texas-Arlington is off b2b wins. Playing better basketball, I say the Mavericks take care of the Trojans, once again. *Top Sun Belt Tourney Play

I'm playing on BOSTON. The Caps got the better of them a couple of days ago but I expect the revenge-minded Bruins to return the favor this evening. Boston is a perfect 4-0 its last four when its opponent scored two goals or less in its previous game. The Bruins are also a perfect 5-0 their last five, when playing with one day's worth of rest in between games. Wednesday's game was decided in a shootout; a game which the Bruins never trailed. Having struggled a bit of late, expect the talented Bruins to be the hungrier team this evening as they make sure to take care of business in regulation.
