CINCINNATI @ DALLAS (CIN -5.5, 49.5)
BENGALS TEAM TOTAL OVER 27.5
With the total set at 49.5, we can expect some points tonight. Both of these defenses are terrible, allowing 27 or more points per game. Joe Burrow leads the NFL in touchdown passes with 30 and the Bengals have scored 34 or more points in 3 of their last 4 games.
Since Week 6, Dallas is giving up an average of 31 points per game. Monday night Overs are 12-4 this season and when you add it all up, I like the Bengals going Over their team total.
NEW YORK @ TORONTO (NYK -5.5, 230.5)
KNICKS -5.5
The Knicks are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games. They are also 4-0 SU and ATS in their last 4 games against the Raptors. In each of the last 3 against Toronto, New York won by at least 6 points. New York is one of the best shooting teams in the NBA. They rank No. 2 in overall FG percentage and No. 2 in 3-PT FG percentage.
Toronto is one of the poorer defenses in the league. The Raptors rank 25th in scoring defense allowing 117 points per game. Toronto lost each of its last 2 games - and 7 of its last 12 - and gave up 125 points or more in each.
ABILENE CHRISTIAN @ BAYLOR (BAY -19.5, 143)
BAYLOR -19.5
This line is up to 21.5 and even 22.5 at some sportsbooks. I don't like it over 20, so I would recommend searching hard or buying the points down to 19.5. This game should be similar to Baylor's win over Sam Houston earlier in the season. ACU has one of the worst 3-PT defenses in the country. Baylor likes to shoot the three. The Bears shoot 38 percent from behind the arc.
Against Sam Houston (also a poor 3PT defense), Baylor made 14 three-pointers and went on to win 104-67. Abilene Christian doesn't travel well. They are 6-12 SU in their last 18 road games and they have yet to play a team of Baylor's caliber. The Bears have covered 2 of 3 double-digit spreads this season. The two covers were spreads less than 20.
