KEY STAT: Athletic Bilbao have won 11 of their last 12 home fixtures

EXPERT VERDICT: Athletic Bilbao are a tough team to beat at home and can follow up Thursday's Copa del Rey first leg 2-1 win over Barcelona by defeating Alaves in their first La Liga match of 2017. The Basque outfit, who started the weekend three points outside the top four, have won seven home matches in succession and can end mid-table Alaves's seven-match unbeaten run.

RECOMMENDATION: Athletic Bilbao

KEY STAT: Inter have won five of their last six matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Three successive wins have set Inter up for a push towards the Champions League qualification places and their revival can gain strength with a victory over Udinese. Inter have found some consistency under manager Stefano Pioli should beat Udinese, who have moved away from relegation danger with three successive wins, but all of their four home wins have come against lowly opponents.

RECOMMENDATION: Inter

KEY STAT: Liverpool are unbeaten in ten home FA Cup matches

EXPERT VERDICT: With an EFL Cup semi-final on the horizon, Jurgen Klopp may rest some of his key men against Plymouth but that shouldn’t stop the Reds easing past Plymouth in the FA Cup. Liverpool beat Burton, Derby and Leeds without conceding a goal in the EFL Cup so backing the Reds to triumph to nil looks the way to go.

RECOMMENDATION: Liverpool to win 3-0

KEY STAT: There have been 19 goals in Genoa's last four home matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Roma are perfect at home in Serie A, winning nine out of nine, but inconsistent on the road, taking just 11 points from a possible 27 away from home. The Wolves should be wary of a trip to Genoa, who have beaten Juventus 3-1 and Milan 3-0 at home this term, and the hosts should play their part in an entertaining clash.

RECOMMENDATION: Both teams to score

KEY STAT: Real Betis have won three of their last four home games to nil

EXPERT VERDICT: Leganes look well placed to avoid relegation this season, but they have won just one of their last nine league matches and need to improve to quash any lingering drop doubts. However, Betis have been solid at home, losing just twice this season so the recovery may have to wait for another week.

RECOMMENDATION: Real Betis

KEY STAT: Spurs have lost just one of their last 16 matches against Aston Villa

EXPERT VERDICT: Aston Villa were beaten finalists in this competition two years ago but their hopes could be shattered at the first time of asking at White Hart Lane. The Villans have been woeful on their travels this season – winning just two of 13 away matches – and given all those fixtures have come against weaker opposition, it’s difficult to fancy them against a Tottenham side unbeaten on home soil in the Premier League.

RECOMMENDATION: Tottenham-Tottenham double result

Today’s Bonus Play is on one of the Sunday NFL playoff games.

GIANTS at PACKERS 4:40 PM

Take: GIANTS +5

I really don’t care much about the history that tells us how dangerous the Giants have been in the wild card role, including wins at Green Bay in their Super Bowl years. Makes for good discussion fodder, but I’m really only interested in right now.

The Packers are on fire, and Aaron Rodgers is blazing hot. The Giants have a solid defense, but it’s sure to be tested on Sunday.

But I think there’s a legitimate chance the Giants can simply outscore the Packers here. Green Bay has some real issues in its secondary right now. Plus, it’s not like they have a great pass rush. Eli Manning can be harassed into mistakes but if he has time to throw, which I believe he will, this GB defensive backfield is a candidate to get torched.

That’s the biggest key to this game as far as I’m concerned. Manning is always a threat to throw the ball to someone wearing the wrong uniform, but I see him having a very good opportunity to have a pretty big day here. Rodgers will get the Packers to the end zone as well, but the Giants have the superior stop unit, and I generally like defensive dogs. That’s the case for the Giants, and I’m taking the points on Sunday.

Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Sunday, January 8, 2017 9:35 PM NBA

(515) ORLANDO MAGIC VS (516) LOS ANGELES LAKERS

Take: UNDER THE TOTAL

Reason: Your free pick for Sunday, January 8, 2017 comes in the NBA as Orlando heads to the Staples Center to face the Lakers. Orlando is 3,000 miles from home and won't want to get into a running match with the young Lakers. Orlando is 17-7 under the total playing on one day of rest. The Under is 5-0 in the Lakers last 5 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Los Angeles is #17 in the NBA in scoring, #19 in field goal shooting. The under is 17-7 in the Lakers last 24 vs. the NBA Southeast division. And when these teams collide the Under is 19-7, including 14-3 under at LA. Play Orlando/LA Lakers Under the total.

Dolphins vs Steelers

1* Bonus Play Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers basically had a bye last week when they rested all of their fantasy studs...Big Ben, Antonio Brown, and Le'veon Bell. They are playing with revenge also when the Dolphins beat them earlier this season. Pittsburgh had New England on deck and were caught looking ahead. That shouldn’t be the case today. I am looking for them to put up a big number here.

This is a big number to lay I understand, but NFL home favorites of 10 or more points are 8-3 ATS since 2002. Eight of the last 9 have had a margin of victory of 11 points or more. In these 11 games, the average margin of victory has been 16 points.

The Steelers were a 10 point favorite earlier this year and beat the Jets by 18 points. They are 4-0 ATS their L4 when a home favorite of 8 or more points winning by an average of 20 points. So the Steelers have done well when laying a big number.

The Dolphins defense has been shredded for the most part this year. They have been outgained in 5 of their last 6 games. They have gotten shed for 6.1 yards per play and 448 yards per game their last 3 games. The Steelers have dominated the stats this year when all of their offensive players have been playing and at the end of the day, it will be way too much offense for the Dolphins to try to match. They are outmatched in every category in this game and it can’t help that the warm weather Dolphins will be playing in very cold weather with expected temperatures to be in the 15 degree range. (1* Steelers)

Dolphins vs Steelers

Free Pick on Dolphins +

I like the value here is with Miami catching double-digits. I believe we are seeing an inflated line with Pittsburgh being such a public team. It’s not very often you see a team beat an opponent by 15 and then catch double-digits in the rematch. I know the Steelers are better at home than on the road, but 10-points is a lot in the postseason.

I think the big spread will have Miami playing with a chip on their shoulder in this one. The Dolphins come in having won 9 of 11, yet no one is taking them seriously. It won’t be easy, but I actually think Miami can pull off the upset here.

The difference this time around is the Dolphins won’t have Ryan Tannehill. The thing is, Matt Moore is a more than capable backup. He’s completed 63.2% of his attempts with a 8.29 average per completion and 8-3 TD to INT ratio.

I know Pittsburgh’s defense has been playing better of late, but Miami had their way with them. Tannehill went 24 of 32 for 252 yards and Jay Ajayi rushed for 204 yards on 25 attempts. If the Dolphins can have similar success on the ground, it’s hard to not like their chances of keeping it close.

It’s also worth noting that Miami head coach Adam Gase has a strong history against the Steelers. Including the game this year, he’s faced them 3 times as a coach or assistant. In those 3 games his team has averaged 30 ppg. One of those was when he was the QB coach at Denver with Tim Tebow under center. That game the Broncos put up 447 yards in a Wild Card win over the Steelers.

The other big key for me is the Dolphins showed they can at least contain Le’Veon Bell. In that first meeting he had just 53 yards rushing and 55 receiving. Most importantly, they kept him out of the endzone. Miami also held Antonio Brown to just 4 catches for 39 yards and picked off Big Ben twice.

Lastly, Tomlin doesn’t have a great track record in these revenge spots. In fact, Pittsburgh is 2-10 ATS revenging a loss as a road favorite under Tomlin. It’s also worth noting the Dolphins are 33-16 ATS in their last 49 road games vs a team with a winning home record. Steelers are also just 1-3-1 ATS last 5 at home and 0-3-2 ATS last 5 playoff games. Take Miami!

Giants vs Packers

Play - Giants-Packers UNDER

Edges - Giants: 2-7 UNDER last nine games versus NFC North, including 0-4 UNDER last four. Packers: 4-7 UDNER last eleven games against the NFC East, including 0-3 UNDER the last three in this series. With the Giants having played UNDER the total in all 8 games during the 2nd half of the season this year, we recommend a 1* play on the UNDER total in this game. Thank you and good luck as always.
