The world lost a Vic Law Jersey legend on Friday with the death of Hank Aaron. Aaron was best known as baseball's Home Run King, as he retired with more career home runs than any player in history, surpa sing Babe Ruth's 714 homers on April 8, 1974. He would finish his career with 755 homers, and that record was eventually surpa sed* (controversially) by Barry Bonds. Error: hq-daily is not a valid identifier in the marketing-newsletters CMS component. Still, while Aaron was known for his home run prowe s, he was so much more than that as a baseball player. Just check out these numbers CBSSports.com's .Aaron is fourth in history in runs, third in hits, 13th in doubles, second in home runs, first in RBI, 27th in walks, 24th in OPS+, first in total bases, first in extra-base hits, seventh in times on base, fourth in intentional walks. He's even fourth in sacrifice flies.He's one of just three players with at least 2,000 runs and 2,000 RBI (Babe Ruth and Alex Rodriguez)Aaron ranks fifth in career WAR for position players behind Barry Bonds, Ruth, and Ty CobbAaron was a sports legend that transcended his generation. Players of today, who weren't even alive when Aaron played, still view him as a hero for all he accomplished on the field and what he meant to many off it. We've seen few like him in history and aren't likely to see many more in the future. . . . .And now for tonight's picks, as well as our picks for Sunday's conference championships. The Hot Ticket The Pick: Under 222.5 (-110): What? You thought that because we made this same bet in this same game on Wednesday and it lost, we weren't going to do it again? Oh yes, we are. The total in that game was at 221.5, and we went under, and tonight it's at 222.5, so you're darn right we're doing it again. Just because it lost the other night doesn't mean it was the wrong play. Things just went poorly.Mostly what went wrong was that the Sixers were awarded 45 free throw attempts. That is a ridiculous amount of free throws. To put it in perspective, the team that's averaging the most free throw attempts per game this season is Washington. It's averaging 26.6 per game Penny Hardaway Jersey , or 18.4 fewer than the Sixers shot on Wednesday. Considering the game finished with 228 points scored, those free throws had an impact! We are not likely to see it happen again tonight, which will keep the scoring down to its normal level between these two (they averaged 211.6 points per game in eight meetings last season).Key Trend: The under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings and Cole Anthony Jersey would've been 6-1 if not for all those darn free throws! The Advanced Computer Model has simulated this game 10,000 times to find an answer, and . The Picks NBA The Pick: Nuggets +2 (-110) --You know I like to look for teams undervalued by the market, and we have found one with the Nuggets. Denver is only 7-7 to start the season, and if the playoffs began right now, they'd be on the outside looking in. However, their record is a bit misleading because their average point differential on the season is +3.9 points per game. That's the fourth-best mark in the Western Conference, ahead of the Suns (+3.3) team the Nuggets face tonight.Now, the concern is that Denver has been a me s defensively to start the season, but it's so good on offense that I think it's able to keep this a close game on the road tonight. I don't hate a money line play, but I feel better with the points. Key Trend: The Nuggets are only 5-9 ATS this season. You probably think this is a bad trend, but in my eyes it means regre sion is coming. NFLThe Pick: Under 51.5 (-110) --When these two met earlier in the season, it was the worst I've ever seen look in a game and the peak of Tampa's defensive performances. In other words, it was Orlando Magic T-Shirts the kind of game that we can't take too much from because it was heavy on the outliers. You won't make a lot of money betting against Aaron Rodgers or , so I've chosen to avoid that route. Instead, I'm going to go under this total. It seems a bit high considering the weather conditions the game is likely to be played in, and, no matter who wins, I have difficulty envisioning a shootout.Key Trend: The under is 4-1 in Tampa's last five as an underdog.The Pick: Chiefs -3 (-115) -- is out of concu sion protocol and has been cleared to play. With that in mind, I have a hard time going against the Chiefs at home in this spot. Buffalo's defense has improved, but none of the previous seven offenses it has faced rank in the top half of the in pa sing DVOA. Indianapolis' pa sing attack ranked the highest at 16th. Kansas City is second, behind only Green Bay. I love the Bills. They've been one of the most entertaining teams to watch all season long ... but I think the fun ends on Sunday. Key Trend: The Chiefs are 4-1 ATS in playoff games that Patrick Mahomes starts and finishes.CBS mixed martial arts analyst Brandon Wise .
