6* Missouri Valley *CA$H COW* on Valparaiso +13

The Key: We were right on Valpo +13 yesterday and the price is right to back the Crusaders again at home as identical 13-point dogs to Drake again today.  They nearly handed Drake their first loss of the season, losing just 77-80 yesterday.  So even held an 8-point lead at halftime.  They can stay within 13 here and possibly pull off the upset.  The pressure is mounting with each passing game for the Bulldogs to try and remain unbeaten.  At some point they will slip up and it's going to be hard for them to keep covering these double-digit spread.  These 2 road games against Valpo are the first time all season that Drake has been a double-digit road favorite.  The Crusaders are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games as home dogs.  Bets on home teams off a home cover where they lost straight up as an underdog against an opponent after a road game where both team scored 75 points or more are 34-7 ATS over the last 5 years.  Take Valparaiso.

6* Saturday NBA *UPSET SPECIAL* on Memphis Grizzlies ML +106

The Key: The Memphis Grizzlies had won 7 straight prior to losing their last 2 games to Indiana and Houston.  Now the Grizzlies will be hungry to get back on track here against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are in an awful spot.  The Pelicans will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a hard-fought 114-113 win at Indiana last night.  Now they have to travel back home here and will be playing their 6th game in 9 days.  Don't be surprised if they rest some guys.  The Grizzlies will get both Valanciunas and Allen back in the lineup today after sitting out due to quarantine, which will give them a boost as both players were playing at a high level before having to sit out.  The Grizzlies are 6-2 SU & 6-2 ATS in road games this season.  Memphis is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games overall.  The Pelicans are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as home favorites.  Take Memphis on the Money Line.

6* Nets/76ers Eastern Conference *CA$H COW* on Philadelphia -3.5

The Key: The Brooklyn Nets will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a 117-123 home loss to the Toronto Raptors last night.  They lost some depth with the James Harden trade, which is big considering now they will be without Kevin Durant tonight.  They won't have much left in the tank for a hungry 76ers team looking to bounce back from an upset loss to Portland on Thursday.  The 76ers took the Blazers lightly because of all they were missing.  Look for the 76ers to get back to playing how they were before, which is dominant basketball in going 7-1 SU & 6-2 ATS in their previous 8 games.  They will certainly get up for the Nets tonight.  Philadelphia is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 home games after yielding 115 points or more last game.  The 76ers are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games as home favorites of 6 points or less.  The Nets are 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games when playing the 2nd of a back-to-back.  The 76ers are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 matchups, including 4-0 ATS in the last 4 home matchups.  Take Philadelphia.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Chicago Bulls -1

The Key: The Orlando Magic are just 3-12 SU in their last 15 games overall.  They pulled the upset over the Bulls in a 4-point win yesterday.  But now the Bulls come back the hungrier team and looking to avenge that defeat.  I think they get the job done against the short-handed Magic, who are without 5 key players right now due to injury.  It's a much tougher rest spot for the Magic as they will be playing their 8th game in 14 days.  The Magic are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games when playing 8 or more games in 14 days.  Take Chicago.

7* Mountain West Game of the Month on Wyoming +7.5

The Key: Wyoming will be looking to avenge its 72-74 home loss to Colorado State as identical 7.5-point dogs on Thursday.  The Cowboys blew a 38-32 halftime lead in that contest and allowed the Rams to shoot 55.1% while they shot 42.6% themselves.  Just a slight improvement will have them covering this spread again and possibly winning outright.  The Cowboys are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games when avenging a same-season loss.  The Cowboys are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games as underdogs.  The underdog is 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 matchups.  Take Wyoming.

6* Washington/Oregon Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Washington +12.5

The Key: The Oregon Ducks can't catch a break.  They had to pause their program for 2 weeks on 2 separate occasions lately.  The results have been awful.  They were upset 64-75 as 9-point home favorites by Oregon State in their first game back from their first break.  And then they were upset 71-74 as 11.5-point favorites against Washington State on Thursday in their first game back from their 2nd break.  Not to mention, they lost their best player in Chris Duarte (17.8 PPG) to a serious ankle injury in that loss to the Cougars.  Now they won't have him against Washington tonight.  The Huskies are good enough to stay within this 12.5-point spread given all the difficulties surrounding Oregon's program right now.  The Ducks are just 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games off 2 consecutive home losses.  The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups.  Take Washington.

6* Syracuse/Clemson ACC *CA$H COW* on Syracuse +3.5

The Key: The Syracuse Orange have won 3 of their last 4 games with their only loss coming on the road to Virginia.  Clemson is 2-4 SU & 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games overall.  The situation favors the Orange as they have been off since January 31st while Clemson is coming off an upset win over UNC on February 2nd.  That makes this a potential letdown spot for the Tigers as well.  It's a bad matchup for Clemson.  They shoot just 30.9% from 3-point range this year, one of the worst percentages in the country.  Teams need to be able to make the 3 ball against Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense.  I don't foresee the Tigers having much success in that department as the Orange allow just 29.5% shooting from 3 on the season.  Clemson is 4-14 ATS in its last 18 games against teams that commit 12 or fewer turnovers per game.  Syracuse is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 road games with a total of 130 to 139.5.  The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 matchups.  Take Syracuse.

6* Drake/Valparaiso MVC *CA$H COW* on Valpo +13

The Key: The price is right to back Valpo at home today as they come in hungry to hand Drake its first loss of the season.  The pressure is mounting with each passing game for the Bulldogs to try and remain unbeaten.  At some point they will slip up, and at the very least it will be difficult for them to cover this double-digit spread in the road.  It's the first time all season they have been a double-digit road favorite.  The Crusaders are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games when coming off 2 consecutive road games.  The Crusaders are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games as home dogs.  Take Valparaiso.

6* Boise State/Nevada Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Nevada +4.5

The Key: The Boise State Broncos have padded their record against an easy Mountain West schedule.  They finally had to face a decent team in Colorado State and split their 2 games with the Rams last time out, but got outscored by a combined 14 points in those 2 games.  Now they face an even better team here in Nevada in my opinion.  It's a Nevada team that has gone 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games overall and hasn't lost any of its last 13 games by more than 7 points.  That includes road losses to San Diego State by 5 and 2 points in a back-to-back situation.  If they can hang with the Aztecs on the road, they can beat Boise State at home.  After all, the Wolf Pack have won 8 of their last 9 matchups with Boise State outright.  Take Nevada.

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Charlotte Hornets +8.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Charlotte Hornets tonight.  They have gone 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games with outright upset wins over the Bucks, Heat and Pacers.  Their only loss came by 7 points to the 76ers, who are playing as well as anyone right now.  And now they get to face a Utah Jazz team that is also playing great basketball in winning 13 of its last 14 games.  But the Jazz are in a tough situation tonight as they will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after winning in Atlanta last night.  It will also be the 7th game in 11 days for the Jazz.  The Hornets are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games as home underdogs.  Take Charlotte.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Miami Heat -6.5

The Key: The Miami Heat will be hungry to avenge their 100-103 loss to Washington on Friday when they were 9-point favorite.  They blew a 10-point halftime lead in that matchup.  Now they come back as only 6.5-point home favorites in the rematch.  Look for the Heat to put it on the Wizards early and not let up for 4 quarters and win this game by 7-plus points to cover the number.  The Wizards are 17-37-1 ATS in their last 55 road games against a team with a losing home record.  Bets on teams who are revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 points or more who are also off 2 or more consecutive upset losses as favorites are 88-49 ATS over the last 5 years.  Take Miami.

6* Washington State/Oregon Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Washington State +11.5

The Key: The Oregon Ducks should not be double-digit favorites over Washington State tonight given the status of their program.  The Ducks will be playing for just the 2nd time since January 9th.  They came back from a 2-week break on January 23rd and were upset 64-75 by a bad Oregon State team as a 9-point home favorite.  They have since had to take another nearly 2 week break and return to action tonight against the Cougars.  There will be some rust with the Ducks that won't allow them to cover this big number.  Washington State is one of the most improved teams in the country this year.  The Cougars only have one loss all season by more than 15 points.  Washington State is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 road games, and 5-1 ATS in its last 6 road games against a team that wins more than 60% of its home games.  The Cougars are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games off a game with 9 or fewer assists.  Take Washington State.

7* Warriors/Mavs TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on Dallas -2.5

The Key: The Dallas Mavericks have some depth now that everyone has returned from quarantine.  So they will be more prepared to handle this situation of playing for a second consecutive day after a win in Atlanta last night.  And I really like the price we are getting on the Mavericks as a short home favorite over the Warriors, a team they are clearly better than.  The Warriors are going to have a tough time defending the paint now that they recently lost both Wiseman and Looney to injuries.  They are going to be one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA now.  The Mavericks are primed to be one of the best offensive teams in the NBA moving forward now that they are healthy.  The Mavericks are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 matchups with the Warriors while winning each of the last 4 by 20-plus points.  Take Dallas.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Temple -1.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on Temple tonight in a home game where they basically just have to win to cover.  We are getting them cheap because they weren't mentally in the game against Tulane in their 17-point home loss due to the death of former head coach John Chaney.  But they should come back more focused tonight.  The Owls are still 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games even with that loss to Tulane.  And now they host a Cincinnati team that has been off since January 10th.  It's safe to say there will be rust involved with the Bearcats because they've barely even been able to practice, and there's talk that some walk ons might have to play.  Cincinnati hasn't been very good as it is in going 1-6 SU & 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games.  The Bearcats are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games after going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.  The Bearcats are 15-37 ATS in their last 52 games overall.  Take Temple.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Miami Heat -8.5

The Key: We are getting the Miami Heat cheap because they are off to a shocking 7-13 start this season after making the NBA Finals last year.  COVID has hit this team hard, but they are finally coming out the other side of it now and starting to play better.  Look for them to blow out the Washington Wizards, who are in a terrible spot tonight.  The Wizards are 1-5 SU & 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games since returning from a nearly 2-week absence due to COVID.  All 5 losses came by 11 points or more.  Now they will be playing for a 2nd consecutive night after a 121-132 loss to the Blazers last night.  They will also be playing their 6th game in 9 days.  And they will be without Russell Wesbrook, who is sitting this game to rest.  The Wizards are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.  The Heat are 38-18-2 ATS in their last 58 games off a loss.  Take Miami.

6* Tulane/Wichita State AAC *CA$H COW* on Tulane +11.5

The Key: Wichita State is laying too many points here against Tulane.  The Shockers have won just one of their last 6 games by more than 6 points.  They needed OT to beat UCF last time out.  Tulane just won 81-64 outright at Temple last time out and is starting to play well.  They are undervalued due to 2 recent blowout losses to Houston, which is blowing everyone out.  Houston is the only team to beat Tulane by more than 10 points all season.  Wichita State only has 3 wins by double-digits all season and 2 of them came against Emporia State and Newman.  The Green Wave are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games against good teams that win 60% to 80% of their games.  The Green Wave are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 road games.  Take Tulane.

7* Pacers/Bucks ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Milwaukee -8

The Key: We are getting the Bucks cheap right now because they are off to just a 12-8 start this season and have lost 2 of their last 3 coming in.  But they flashed their potential with a 134-106 win over the Blazers last game.  And now they catch the Indiana Pacers in a bad spot.  The Pacers will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after their win over Memphis yesterday.  It will also be the 7th game in 11 days for the Pacers.  The Bucks are 5-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in their last 6 matchups with the Pacers with all 5 wins coming by 9 points or more.  The Bucks are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home matchups with all 4 wins by 17 points or more.  Take Milwaukee.

6* Virginia Tech/Pittsburgh ACC *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh +4.5

The Key: The Virginia Tech Hokies are primed for a letdown tonight after upsetting Virginia at home in their last game.  The Hokies only have 2 road wins all season and they came against ACC bottom feeders Notre Dame and Wake Forest.  Pittsburgh is a hungry team off 3 straight losses and we should get a big effort from the Panthers tonight because of it.  The Hokies are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games.  The Panthers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games off 2 straight home losses.  Take Pittsburgh.

7* Pistons/Jazz NBA *BAILOUT* on Detroit +12.5

The Key: The Pistons have recent upset wins over both the Lakers and 76ers, so they are playing well coming in and fully capable of hanging with the Utah Jazz.  The Jazz are coming off a loss to the Nuggets that ended their 11-game winning streak.  They won't show up with the same kind of effort they were playing with to keep that winning streak alive, and that's going to make it very difficult to cover this 12.5-point spread.  They were only 8.5-point favorites against the Pistons in their 96-86 win over them in their first matchup this season.  So I like the price we are getting on the Pistons in the rematch.  Detroit is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games off a loss by more than 10 points.  The Pistons have gone 9-1 ATS in their 10 games this season against teams that make at least 46% of their shots.  Take Detroit.

6* Mississippi State/Arkansas SEC *CA$H COW* on Mississippi State +7

The Key: Mississippi State has gone 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games overall.  They were competitive in losses at Alabama by 8 and at Tennessee by 3 before crushing Iowa State 95-56 over the weekend.  So to be competitive with Alabama and Tennessee on the road tells you all you need to know about this team considering those are the 2 best teams in the SEC.  Now they are catching 7 points against an Arkansas team that has been mis-priced for weeks.  The Razorbacks are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall with their only covers coming against 2 of the worst teams in the SEC in Ole Miss and Vanderbilt.  They lost by 31 at Alabama, by 16 at LSU and were just beaten by 4 at Oklahoma State.  The Bulldogs are 6-0 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last 6 matchups with Arkansas, winning 4 times outright as underdogs.  Take Mississippi State.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Washington Wizards -2

The Key: The Washington Wizards have gotten most of their players back from their COVID-19 break that caused the stoppage in the first place.  They are starting to get some chemistry together and that showed in their 149-146 win over the Brooklyn Nets last time out.  Look for them to build off that win here and take down a tired Portland Trail Blazers team that is still missing CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic.  Being short-handed won't help the Blazers in this tough situation where they will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 3rd road game in 4 days.  The Wizards are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 home games after a combined score of 245 points or more.  The Blazers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against a team that wins less than 40% of their games.  Take Washington.

6* Oklahoma/Texas Tech Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Texas Tech -6.5

The Key: The Oklahoma Sooners have won 5 straight games and covered in 6 straight.  But things won't be so easy for them tonight against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are improving rapidly as well in going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.  And while the Red Raiders are fully healthy, the Sooners will be missing 2 key players tonight due to COVID-19.  Leading scorer Austin Reaves (15.8 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 5.1 APG) and fellow starter Alondes Williams (7.7 PPG, 3.4 RPG) will both have to sit out tonight.  The Sooners stand little to no chance of even keeping this game competitive without these two.  Texas Tech is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 home games when playing with one or fewer days' rest.  The home team is 10-2-1 ATS in the last 13 matchups.  Take Texas Tech.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on San Antonio Spurs -3.5

The Key: The San Antonio Spurs had won 3 straight over Washington, Boston and Denver prior to getting blasted 112-129 by the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.  Now the Spurs will get a chance to avenge that defeat, and I like the price we are getting with them here.  The Spurs are 40-15 ATS in their last 55 games when revenging a loss where opponent scores 110 points or more.  San Antonio is 26-9 ATS in its last 35 games when revenging a loss by 10 points or more.  The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games off a win by more than 10 points.  The Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games off a double-digit home loss.  Take San Antonio.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Illinois State +18

The Key: Everyone knows that Drake is not only 16-0 SU but also 13-1 ATS by now.  And with those records comes a lot of respect from the oddsmakers and betting public with inflated lines moving forward.  I cashed in Illinois State +18 yesterday as my free play, and I'm making them a premium play today.  It was Drake's 2nd-largest favorite role of the entire season as they were only favored by more against Chicago State, one of the worst teams in the country.  In fact they have only been more than a 10.5-point favorite only three times all season.  Illinois State has only been beaten by this kind of margin by Ohio State and Loyola-Chicago this season.  Their last 6 losses all came by 9 points or fewer.  That includes their 76-78 (OT) loss to Drake yesterday in which they covered by 16 points.  The Redbirds are hungry to avenge that defeat and will stay within this ridiculous number again today.  Take Illinois State.

7* UNLV/Nevada Mountain West *BAILOUT* on Nevada -2

The Key: I like the price we are getting on Nevada.  The Wolf Pack are coming off 2 straight upset losses at Wyoming.  But each of their last 5 losses have come by 7 points or fewer.  That's how close they are to being on an 11-game winning streak.  UNLV is starting to get some respect after going 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against a very soft schedule.  They starting 1-6 this season prior to this run.  Injury news favors the Wolf Pack as well.  They will get Meeks (9.1 PPG, 5.9 RPG) back from a 3-game absence, and Cambridge Jr. (15.2 PPG) is probable.  UNLV's best player in Hamilton (18.3 PPG) is questionable with an ankle injury suffered in a loss to Utah State last time out.  He had just 2 points in 32 minutes of action against the Aggies, so it clearly affected his play.  The Wolf Pack are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after playing a road game.  The Rebels are 15-32-4 ATS in their last 51 road games against a team with a winning home record.  The Wolf Pack are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as home favorites.  Take Nevada.

6* Nets/Wizards Eastern Conference *CA$H COW* on Brooklyn -7

The Key: The Washington Wizards have lost 4 straight games by an average of 18.3 PPG.  All 4 losses came by 16 points or more.  It's not going to get any easier for them here against a Brooklyn Nets team that is playing its best basketball of the season.  The Nets have won 4 straight games by 10.8 PPG and 8 of their last 10 games overall.  The Wizards just don't have enough bodies right now due to all the players they lost to COVID-19 and also injuries.  They don't have any chemistry because practice has been all messed up.  The Nets are coming together as a team with Harden, Durant and Irving starting to really figure out how to gel together.  Take Brooklyn.

6* NC State/Syracuse ACC *CA$H COW* on Syracuse -5

The Key: The Syracuse Orange have done their best work at home this season.  They are 8-1 on their home floor and have won their last two home games over Miami and Virginia Tech by an average of 22 PPG.  Now they face an NC State team that is 0-6-1 ATS in its last 7 road games.  The Wolfpack have lost their last 4 road games by 14.3 PPG.  They just had a season-ending injury in their last game to leading scorer Devon Daniels, who averages 16.5 PPG this season.  The Orange are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games off an ACC loss by 10 points or more.  Take Syracuse.

7* NBA Total of the Month on Suns/Mavs UNDER 217.5

The Key: The Suns already play at one of the slowest paces in the NBA due to having the aging Chris Paul at point guard.  And now they are without their best player in Devin Booker and have been for the past 3 games.  Let's take a look at those 3 games.  They were tied 98-98 at the end of regulation with the Nuggets for 196 combined points.  They lost to the Thunder 97-102 for 199 combined points.  And they beat the Warriors 114-93 for 207 combined points.  Now they will be without Booker again tonight and this total with the Mavs is set at 217.5.  The Mavs are a tired team playing for a second consecutive night after falling 101-120 in the altitude in Salt Lake City last night.  They won't be looking to push the tempo today give the situation.  The UNDER is 7-2 in Suns last 9 road games.  The UNDER is 7-2 in Mavs last 9 games off a loss.  The UNDER is 14-6 in the last 20 matchups in Dallas.  Take the UNDER.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Houston Rockets +1

The Key: The Houston Rockets have won 4 straight by by an average of 12 PPG.  They are healthy now and forming chemistry with all of their new faces, led by Wall and Oladipo.  Now they face a tired Pelicans team that will be playing for a second consecutive day after topping the Bucks 131-126 in a shootout.  The Pelicans won't have much left in the tank for the Rockets tonight.  Bets against home dogs that give up 103 PPG or more after leading in their previous game by 20+ points at halftime are 29-7 ATS since 1996.  Take Houston.

6* Saturday NCAAB *BLOWOUT* on Creighton -9.5

The Key: DePaul is neck-and-neck with Georgetown as the worst team in the Big East.  The Blue Demons are 1-6 SU & 2-5 ATS in Big East play this year.  They don't stand a chance of even keeping this game with Creighton competitive today.  Creighton is 12-0 SU & 11-1 ATS in its last 12 matchups with DePaul with 11 wins by double-digits.  Enough said.  Take Creighton.

6* Kansas/Tennessee ESPN *CA$H COW* on Tennessee -2.5

The Key: The Kansas Jayhawks are clearly down this season.  They have lost 3 of their last 4 coming in with their only win coming 59-51 at home over TCU as a 14-point favorite.  Now they take on a Tennessee team that is one of the best squads in the country.  And I like the price we are getting on the Vols due to their recent struggles as well in failing to cover 6 of their last 7 as a massive favorite in most games.  The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups.  Take Tennessee.

6* Saturday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on Georgia Tech +4

The Key: Florida State has only played 2 road games all season.  Now the Seminoles hit the road to face a Georgia Tech team that has won 5 straight at home.  The 2 losses that the Yellow Jackets have had may be even more impressive during this stretch.  Both came on the road to Virginia by 2 and Duke by 7.  They were never not covering against Duke until the final seconds playing the foul game, and they nearly upset the Cavaliers, who are playing as well as nearly anyone right now.  They can take down Florida State tonight.  The Yellow Jackets are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games off 3 straight games committing 11 or fewer turnovers.  The Yellow Jackets are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games after failing to cover the spread in their previous game.  Take Georgia Tech.

6* Boise State/Colorado State MWC *BAILOUT* on Boise State -2.5

The Key: Boise State had won 12 in a row prior to getting upset at Colorado State on Wednesday.  Now the Broncos want to avenge that defeat and should get the job done here.  The Rams shot 55.8% as a team while the Broncos shot 38.2%.  That disparity is very unlikely to happen again.  The Broncos are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games off a loss.  Boise State is 6-0-1 ATS in its last 7 games off an ATS loss.  The Broncos are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games as favorites.  Take Boise State.

6* Nuggets/Spurs Western Conference *CA$H COW* on San Antonio +4.5

The Key: The Denver Nuggets have gone 5-0 SU & 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  The price is now getting steep on them and they should not be laying 4.5 points on the road to the Spurs tonight.  This will be their 5th straight road game and they've had a couple OT games in there.  This is a tired Nuggets team.  They will be facing a Spurs team that has gone 4-2 SU & 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games overall and just upset the Boston Celtics at home.  It's a rested Spurs team too that will be playing just their 2nd game in 5 days.  This will be the 5th road game in 8 days for the Nuggets.  It's also a Spurs team that is as healthy as they have been all season.  The Spurs are 41-12 SU in their last 53 home matchups with the Nuggets.  Denver is 8-21 ATS in its last 29 road games off a win by 10 points or more.  The Spurs are 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 Friday games.  The Spurs are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as underdogs.  Take San Antonio.

7* NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month on New York Knicks +1

The Key: The New York Knicks will be looking to avenge a 103-106 road loss at Cleveland in which they controlled the game most the way but got crushed in the 4th quarter.  They lost that game 2 weeks ago and have not forgotten.  And they also are hungry for a win after losing 3 straight on the road against a tough schedule coming in.  The Knicks are now as healthy as they have been all season and haven't played since Tuesday.  They are primed for one of their best efforts of the season tonight.  The Cavaliers are 30-61-1 ATS in their last 92 games as favorites.  The Knicks are 21-10 ATS when avenging a same-season loss in their last 31 tries.  Take New York.

7* Warriors/Suns TNT *BAILOUT* on UNDER 220.5

The Key: Phoenix has been without Devin Booker in each of its last 2 games and is likely to be without him tonight.  The Suns and Nuggets combined for 196 points at the end of regulation in their first game without him.  Then last night they combined for 199 points with the Thunder in their 2nd game without him.  Now the Suns are a tired team and will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back.  The Warriors are also a tired team playing the 2nd of a back-to-back.  That fatigue will affect shooting and will favor defense in this game tonight.  The UNDER is 6-0 in the last 6 matchups in this series with each of the last 3 seeing 218 or fewer combined points.  Take the UNDER.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Tulane +17.5

The Key: Tulane was a +17.5 dog when it lost 50-71 at Houston on January 9th.  The Green Wave shot just 28.8% from the field and 31.6% from 3-point range in that game while Houston shot 15-of-36 (41.7%) from 3-point range.  Just a slight improvement will have them covering this 17.5-point spread in the rematch.  This line should not be identical to the first matchup when you adjust for home-court advantage.  But the price is getting steep to back Houston now that the Cougars are ranked #6 in the country and have won 6 straight coming in.  Houston is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 road games off a combined score of 125 points or fewer.  The Green Wave are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games when avenging a same-season loss.  The Green Wave are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as home dogs.  Take Tulane.

6* Blazers/Rockets Western Conference *CA$H COW* on Houston -4.5

The Key: The Houston Rockets are starting to play up to their potential now that they have the negativity surrounding James Harden behind them.  They are also as healthy as they have been all season.  Wall, Oladipo, Cousins and Gordon are all making significant contributions and have played a big part in going 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall with 3 wins by a combined 45 points.  And now Christian Wood, one of the most underrated players in the NBA, is expected to make his return tonight after missing the past 3 games.  The Blazers are missing McCollum, Nurkic and Covington and have gone 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games while getting outscored by a combined 39 points in those 5 contests.  I like where the Rockets are at right now playing well as a team, while the Blazers are too reliant on one guy in Damian Lillard.  Take Houston.

6* Wednesday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Thunder/Suns UNDER 216.5

The Key: The Phoenix Suns will be without leading scorer Devin Booker tonight.  We saw how that went last game against the Denver Nuggets in a game that was tied 98-98 at the end of regulation for 196 combined points.  Obviously their offense takes a hit without Booker, so they have to rely more on their defense.  And that will be the case again here against the Oklahoma City Thunder.  The UNDER is 42-18-1 in Thunder last 61 games as a road underdog.  The UNDER is 15-4 in Thunder last 19 road games after a combined score of 245 points or more.  The UNDER is 6-0 in Suns last 6 games when playing on 3 or more days' rest.  The UNDER is 5-2 in the last 7 matchups in Phoenix.  Take the UNDER.

7* Wisconsin/Maryland Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Wisconsin -2.5

The Key: I like the situation for the Wisconsin Badgers tonight.  They are coming off an upset home loss to Ohio State.  They also were upset by this same Maryland team as 10-point home favorites back on December 28th.  Now they will avenge that defeat and they are only 2.5-point favorites this time around.  That's a 7.5-point adjustment.  Wisconsin hasn't lost 2 in a row all season.  They are 3-0 SU & 2-0-1 ATS in their 3 games after a loss this year.  The Badgers are 4-0-2 ATS in their last 6 games off a SU loss.  The Terrapins are 1-5-2 ATS in their last 8 games as home underdogs.  Maryland is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games off a SU win.  Take Wisconsin.

6* Wednesday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on Colorado State +3

The Key: Boise State has padded its 12-1 record by playing the single-easiest schedule in the entire Mountain West to this point.  They haven't played any of the top teams in the Mountain West in Colorado State, Utah State or San Diego State yet.  Now they must face a Colorado State team that has already beaten both Utah State and San Diego State.  The Rams are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games overall with their only losses coming to those 2 teams.  The Rams are 6-0 at home this season and winning by nearly 17 PPG.  Take Colorado State.

6* VA Tech/Notre Dame ACC *CA$H COW* on Notre Dame +1

The Key: Virginia Tech has only had to play 3 true road games this season.  They are 1-2 with their only win against one of the worst teams in the ACC in Wake Forest by 4 points.  Notre Dame faced a gauntlet and is now up against a more manageable schedule of late and starting to pick up some wins.  The Fighting Irish beat Boston College 80-70 at home before topping Miami 73-59 on the road in its last 2 games coming in.  The Hokies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games.  Take Notre Dame.

6* Penn State/Ohio State Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Ohio State -7.5

The Key: Penn State had lost 5 straight before beating Rutgers and Northwestern both at home in their last 2 games.  Now the Nittany Lions are starting to get some respect from the books when they shouldn't be.  Ohio State is playing as well as anyone in the Big Ten right now in going 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games overall.  If not for a big blown lead against Purdue in a 2-point loss, they've be 5-0.  They upset Rutgers, Illinois and Wisconsin all on the road while also topping Northwestern by double-digits.  Ohio State has won 15 of its last 18 home matchups with Penn State, including a 106-74 win last year as a similar 7-point favorite.  The Buckeyes are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 home games off a win by 10 points or more.  The Nittany Lions are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games off a SU win.  The Buckeyes are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games.  Take Ohio State.

6* Georgia Tech/Duke ACC *CA$H COW* on Georgia Tech +6.5

The Key: Georgia Tech is way underrated right now.  The Yellow Jackets are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games overall which includes upsets wins over Clemson and North Carolina.  Their only loss during this stretch came 62-64 as 8.5-point road dogs at Virginia.  That's a Virginia team playing as well as anyone in the ACC right now.  The Yellow Jackets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.  And I like the price we are getting with them here against an overrated Duke team that is struggling.  The Blue Devils have lost 3 straight and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  Their 2 wins during this stretch came against Boston College by 1 and Wake Forest by 11.  They lost by 7 at VA Tech, by 6 at Pitt and by 5 at Louisville.  They should not be laying 6.5 points to the Yellow Jackets.  Georgia Tech is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 road games off a loss.  Duke is 1-9 ATS in all lined games this season.  The Blue Devils are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games.  Take Georgia Tech.

6* Missouri/Auburn SEC *CA$H COW* on Auburn -2

The Key: Auburn is 3-2 SU & 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games overall.  The 2 losses came to Alabama by 4 and Arkansas by 2.  The 3 wins came over Georgia by 18, Kentucky b7 7 and South Carolina by 23.  Their recent surge has had everything to do with getting star freshman PG Sharife Cooper eligible.  He has played in each of the 5 games and has averaged 21.2 PPG and 9.0 APG for the Tigers.  Coopers is a problem for anyone.  Missouri is in a big letdown spot here off its upset win over Tennessee last time out.  Bets against underdogs who are coming off a conference win as a dog of 6 points or more, that is also winning 80% or more of its games on the season are 37-16 ATS since 1997.  Missouri is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games as a road dog.  Take Auburn.

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Houston Rockets -3.5

The Key: The Washington Wizards just returned to action after being off from January 11th through January 24th due to COVID-19.  They abruptly got blasted by the Spurs by 20 points.  And it's probably going to be more of the same tonight against the Houston Rockets.  They are still missing a handful of key players in quarantine.  The Rockets are as healthy as they've been all season right now and it's starting to show with 2 straight upset wins over the Pistons and Mavericks by a combined 26 points.  They should be laying more than 3.5 points against the Wizards tonight.  I love the price we are getting on the Rockets.  Take Houston.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Detroit Pistons +6.5

The Key: The Detroit Pistons want to avenge their 110-114 loss to the 76ers 2 days ago.  They get their chance here as 6.5-point home dogs on Monday.  And they get Blake Griffin back in the lineup after not having him in that first matchup.  They also may not have to face Joel Embiid, who is questionable with a knee injury after scoring 33 points and grabbing 14 points in that first matchup.  Philadelphia is 14-35-2 ATS in its last 53 road games.  The Pistons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as home dogs.  Take Detroit.

7* NBA Eastern Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Indiana Pacers -2

The Key: The Indiana Pacers will be hungry to avenge their 102-107 home loss to the Toronto Raptors yesterday.  They don't have to wait long as they get to play them again today.  I like the price we are getting on the Pacers.  They were 4.5-point favorites against the Raptors yesterday and are now just 2-point favorites today.  The Raptors are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games off an ATS win.  Take Indiana.

6* Monday NCAAB *Total* Annihilator on Loyola-Chicago/Bradley UNDER 131

The Key: Two of the slowest teams in the country in Loyola-Chicago and Bradley square off again today after playing each other Sunday.  Loyola-Chicago won that game 69-56 for 125 combined points.  Loyola-Chicago shot great from the field making 28-of-50 (56%) of its attempts too.  Bradley didn't shoot poorly making 23-of-51 (45.1%) from the floor.  The UNDER is 3-1 in the last 4 matchups with an average combined score of 118.8 PPG.  I like the price we are getting with this UNDER today.  The UNDER is 5-0 in Ramblers last 5 games overall.  The UNDER is 35-17 in Ramblers last 52 road games against a team with a winning home record.  Take the UNDER.

6* SDSU/Air Force Mountain West *BAILOUT* on Air Force +16

The Key: The Air Force Falcons will be looking to avenge their 61-98 loss to San Diego State on Friday.  They turned the ball over 27 times in that game.  That's not going to happen again.  As a result, the Aztecs attempted 26 more shots than they did.  They hadn't lost any of their previous 5 matchups with the Aztecs by more than 15 points.  And I think they cover this 16-point spread today with a much better effort in the rematch.  The Aztecs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games off a win.  Take Air Force.

6* Sunday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Hawks/Bucks UNDER 232

The Key: The Atlanta Hawks have quietly been a great UNDER bet this season.  Bettors think offense with Trae Young, but the Hawks are playing tremendous defense this season.  The UNDER is 10-1 in Hawks last 11 games overall.  The only exception was the overtime game against the Pistons a few games back in which it was tied 106-106 at the end of regulation and would have went UNDER the 220.5-point total if not for OT.  The UNDER is 5-1 in Bucks last 6 games overall.  The only exception was against the Nets, who don't play any defense.  The last 2 matchups between the Bucks and Hawks have seen 198 and 213 combined points.  Take the UNDER.

6* Bills/Chiefs AFC *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 55

The Key: The Bills and Chiefs already played once this season so they are very familiar with one another.  That is going to favor defense.  The Chiefs won that game 26-17 in a game that saw only 43 combined points.  So getting a total of 55 here in the rematch is too many points.  The Chiefs can move the ball fine but they have been terrible in the red zone at scoring touchdowns.  They have to settle for a lot of field goals.  The same can be said of the Bills, who don't have a running game right now, and that hurts them in red zone situations.  I think we get our fair share of field goals here to help keep this game UNDER the number.  And it's not like Patrick Mahomes is going to be 100%.  I don't think the concussion will affect him, but that foot injury clearly had him hobbled and I don't think he is going to have the same mobility he normally does.  The Chiefs give up just 22.3 PPG on the season and the Bills give up 17.1 PPG in their last 8 contests.  This Buffalo defense stepping up is just as big a reason for their success as Josh Allen is here down the stretch.  They held the Ravens to 3 points last week.  The UNDER is 4-1 in the last 5 matchups.  It's going to be cold and windy in Kansas City Sunday night.  Take the UNDER.

7* NFC Playoffs Game of the Year on Green Bay Packers -3

The Key: The Green Bay Packers have won 7 straight games all by 7 points or more.  They have won those games by an average of nearly 15 PPG.  I think we are getting the Packers cheap as only 3-point home favorites against the Bucs in the NFC Championship Game.  The Bucs will be on the road for the 3rd straight week, and teams in this situation haven't fared well.  The Packers are still very fresh after getting that bye and haven't had to leave home.  They made easy work of the Rams in a 32-18 victory.  They outgained the Rams by 240 yards in that game and put up 484 yards against what was thought to be one of the best defenses in the NFL.  The Bucs struggled to move the ball against the Saints and the Packers have a good pass defense.  The Bucs benefited from a +4 turnover differential against the Saints, who basically gave that game away after having a 20-13 lead in the second half, getting outscored 17-0 the rest the way.  The Bucs scored 21 points off turnovers.  Aaron Rodgers doesn't turn the ball over.  He has 50 touchdown passes and only 5 interceptions this year.  The Packers have won 8 of their 9 home games this year with an average margin of victory of 12.4 PPG.   They are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a winning road record.  Take Green Bay.

7* Lakers/Bulls NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Chicago +9.5

The Key: The Bulls are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall.  They have been one of the most underrated teams in the NBA.  They have lost just once by more than 4 points in those 13 games too.  And they shouldn't be this big of underdogs to the Lakers.  The Bulls only lost 115-117 at Los Angeles as 8.5-point dogs in their first matchup this year earlier this month.  And now they come back as 9.5-point dogs at home.  I know they played yesterday, but this is a deep team that can handle these back-to-back situations better than most teams.  And they won't have any problem getting re-energized for the defending champion Lakers tonight.  The Bulls are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games as underdogs.  Take Chicago.

6* ACC *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh -2

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Pitt Panthers today as a short road favorite over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.  Pitt is 8-1 SU & 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games overall.  That includes upset wins over Syracuse twice and Duke in its last 3 games coming in.  The Panthers are primed to get back to the NCAA Tournament, and they know they can't afford a loss here to a team they should beat in Wake Forest.  The Demon Deacons are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games overall.  They have been competitive in some games, but they basically have to win this game to cover.  The Panthers are easily the superior team and should be bigger favorites.  Take Pittsburgh.

6* SEC *CA$H COW* on Texas A&M +8.5

The Key: We are getting a great price on Texas A&M today over Ole Miss.  Ole Miss is getting too much respect for its 64-46 win at Mississippi State last time out.  And now the Rebels will have a hard time getting up for the Aggies after beating their big in-state rivals.  Ole Miss had gone 1-5 SU & 1-5 ATS in its previous 6 games with upset home losses to Wichita State, LSU and Georgia.  Texas A&M just upset Mississippi State on the road prior to losing to Missouri at home last time out.  And now the Aggies have a full week to get ready for this game after playing last Saturday.  Ole Miss only has 3 days to get ready to the Aggies.  The Aggies are 9-1 ATS int heir last 10 road games off a loss by 10 points or more, including 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games off a conference loss by 10 points or more.  The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups.  Take Texas A&M.  

6* SDSU/AF Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Air Force +15

The Key: Air Force has upset both Wyoming and Nevada this season and only lost to Boise State by 11, which is 12-1 this season and arguably the best team in the Mountain West.  San Diego State is not playing well enough right now to be a 15-point road favorite over the Falcons.  The Aztecs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games.  They beat Nevada by 5 and 2 points.  Then they lost to Utah State by 12 and 5 points.  The Aztecs haven't won any of their last 5 matchups with Air Force by more than 15 points, and that includes 2 matchups last year when San Diego State had one of the best teams in the country.  The underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 matchups.  Take Air Force.

7* Celtics/76ers ESPN *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 222.5

The Key: The UNDER is 5-2 in the last 7 matchups in this series with 216 or fewer points scored in all 5 unders.  Wednesday was the exception when the game went over with 226 points scored.  But the 76ers attempted a ridiculous 45 free throw attempts as the refs were whistle-happy.  I look for this matchup to be much more lower scoring.  And keep in mind even with all those free throw attempts it still just went over this 222.5-point total by 3.5 points.  There's a lot of room for error with this UNDER.  These back-to-back rematches always seem to favor defense, too.  Take the UNDER.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Chicago Bulls +3.5

The Key: The Bulls are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall.  They have been one of the most underrated teams in the NBA.  They have lost just once by more than 4 points in those 12 games too.  And they shouldn't be underdogs here to the Hornets.  This is a rusty Hornets team that hasn't played since January 16th due to COVID.  The Bulls are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games after covering 4 of their last 5 ATS.  Chicago is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games against teams that score 106 PPG or more.  The Bulls are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs, and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as road dogs.  The Hornets are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as home favorites.  Take Chicago.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on New York Knicks +4.5

The Key: The Golden State Warriors will be playing their 3rd game in 4 days and for a 2nd consecutive day after beating the Spurs last night.  They beat the Lakers the game before, and now this is a letdown situation for them and a tough rest situation.  The New York Knicks have been off since Monday's 91-84 win over the Magic.  That followed up a 105-75 road win over the Celtics.  The Knicks are a live underdog here against the Warriors because they are the much more rested team.  The Warriors are 14-32 ATS in their last 46 games as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points.  Golden State is 7-23 ATS in its last 30 Thursday games.  The Warriors are 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 games as home favorites.  The Knicks are 5-1 ATS int heir last six road games against a team with a winning home record.  Take New York.

6* Utah/Washington State Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Washington State +2.5

The Key: The Washington State Cougars finally get to play a home game tonight after playing their last 4 games on the road.  And the Cougars are 8-1 at home this season with their lone loss coming to Arizona in OT.  They face a Utah team that has gotten to play its last 4 games at home.  But that hasn't helped the Utes as they are just 1-5 in their last 6 games overall.  The Utes are 0-3 in true road games this year.  The Utes are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 road games off a Pac-12 loss.  They just lost at home to Cal by 9 as an 11.5-point favorite.  The Cougars are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as home underdogs.  Take Washington State.

7* Lakers/Bucks TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on Milwaukee -1

The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks are fully healthy right now and hungry to take down the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.  The Lakers have 6 guys on the injury report including both James and Davis, who will both likely play but it is concerning.  The Lakers were just upset by the Warriors on MLK Day.  Now they have to travel to face a Bucks team that is 6-1 SU at home this season.  The Lakers are just 4-13 ATS in their last 17 road games against Eastern Conference teams.  The Bucks are 30-12 ATS in their last 42 games off an upset loss as a favorite.  The Bucks are 37-17 ATS in their last 54 games off a SU loss.  The Bucks are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups.  Take Milwaukee.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +10.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Sacramento Kings today in this situation.  The Kings were just beaten badly by the Clippers as 6.5-point dogs on January 15th.  Now they will be looking to avenge that defeat just 5 days later here and are catching 10.5 points, a full 4-point adjustment.  The Kings will be the hungrier team.  And they had beaten the Clippers outright by 21 and 9 points in their 2 previous matchups last season as 14 and 9-point dogs, respectively.  The Clippers are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games off 2 consecutive covers as a favorite.  The Kings are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as a road dog.  The Clippers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite.  Los Angeles is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games against a team that wins less than 40% of their road games.  Take Sacramento.

6* Auburn/Arkansas SEC *CA$H COW* on Auburn +6.5

The Key: Auburn has been a different team since getting Sharife Cooper eligible.  He is averaging 21.7 PPG and 9.7 APG in his 3 games this season.  They were a 90-94 loss to a very good Alabama team, a 95-77 win over Georgia and a 66-59 win over Kentucky.  The Tigers now take on a struggling Arkansas team that is just 1-4 SU in its last 5 games overall.  That includes a 13-point home loss to Missouri, a 16-point road loss at LSU and a 31-point loss at Alabama.  The Tigers didn't have Cooper in their 85-97 home loss to the Razorbacks as 6.5-point dogs in their first matchup on December 30.  Now they are getting 6.5 points again and will be looking to avenge that defeat with Cooper on board this time around.  The road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 matchups.  Take Auburn.

7* Providence/Creighton Big East *HEAVY HITTER* on Providence +9.5

The Key: Providence wants to avenge a 65-67 loss to Creighton at home a couple weeks ago.  The Friars were only 4-point dogs in that game, and now they are 9.5-point dogs here.  The Friars haven't been getting blown out at all lately as they haven't lost any of their last 9 games by more than 10 points.  And Creighton just was upset by Butler without Marcus Zegarowski, who averages 14.1 PPG and is questionable to play tonight.  Zegarowski had 20 points against the Friars in their first matchup so he's clearly very important to the Bluejays' success.  The Friars are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games when avenging a same-season loss.  They are also 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games when avenging a loss overall.  Creighton has only won 1 of its last 7 matchups with Providence by double-digits.  Take Providence.

6* Duke/Pittsburgh ACC *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh +4

The Key: It's time for Jeff Capel to beat Mike Krzyzewski, his former head coach at Duke.  Capel was a former assistant under him as well.  This Duke team just isn't very good.  COVID has interrupted their season as they have played the second-fewest games in the ACC.  The Blue Devils are 5-3 SU & 1-7 ATS this season and coming off a loss at VA Tech.  Their 5 wins have come against Coppin State, Bellarmine, Notre Dame, BC and Wake Forest.  Those are 5 terrible teams.  They have lost every time they've stepped up in class to Michigan State, Illinois and VT.  And Pitt is playing some great basketball this season at 7-2 SU & 6-3 ATS, including 6-1 SU & 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall.  That includes 2 upset wins over Syracuse and a 96-76 win over the Orange last time out.  It also includes a 15-point win at Miami.  Duke is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games after failing to cover 5 or 6 of its last 7 ATS.  The Blue Devils are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games against a team with a winning home record.  Take Pittsburgh.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Oklahoma City Thunder +10

The Key: The Okalhoam City Thunder are 4-2 SU & 4-2 ATS int heir last 4 games overall.  That includes 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 road games with upset wins over the Pelicans, Knicks and Nets.  And now they come in rested having the last 3 days off so they will be primed for a big effort against the Denver Nuggets tonight.  The Nuggets are just 6-7 SU & 4-9 ATS this season as they have consistently been overrated after making a deep run in the playoffs last year.  And they shouldn't be double-digit favorites against the Thunder tonight.  The Thunder are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 games as underdogs, 22-7 ATS in their last 29 games as road dogs, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.  Oklahoma City is 11-1 ATS in its last 12 road games with a total of 220 or higher.  Take Oklahoma City.

7* Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Ohio State -4.5

The Key: The Ohio State Buckeyes want to avenge their 60-67 loss at Purdue in their first matchup on December 16 this season.  The Buckeyes shot just 37.9% from the field and 6-of-24 (25%) from 3-point range.  They have been a different team since and are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now.  The Buckeyes are 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games with a 79-68 win at Rutgers as a 3.5-point dog, an 81-71 home win over Northwestern as an 8.5-point favorite and an 87-81 win at Illinois as an 8-point dog.  Purdue hasn't been great on the road with losses to Illinois by 8, Rutgers by 5 and Iowa by 15.  The Boilermakers are 2-7-2 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record.  The Buckeyes are 27-12 ATS in the last 39 matchups. Purdue is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games after going over the total in its last game.  The Buckeyes are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games off an ATS win.  Take Ohio State. 

7* NBA Situational Game of the Month on Miami Heat -5.5

The Key: The Miami Heat will be hungry for a victory today.  They have lost 3 straight coming in.  That includes their 100-120 loss to the Pistons as 5-point favorites on Saturday.  They led that game 56-52 at halftime and got outscored by 24 points after intermission.  The Heat should get even more players back today from COVID and will be ready to avenge that defeat.  The Pistons are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 road games after covering 6 or 7 of their last 8 ATS.  The HEat are 37-14-1 ATS in their last 52 games off a loss.  Take Miami.

6* Mavs/Raptors Non-Conference *CA$H COW* on Toronto -5

The Key: The Dallas Mavericks will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back after a home loss to the Chicago Bulls yesterday.  This is a terrible spot for the Mavericks because they were already missing Powell, Kleber, Finney-Smith and Richardson.  Now Porzingis is going to sit out this game to rest, and Hardaway Jr. is questionable.  There is just too much on Luka Doncic's plate here.  The Raptors are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games off a win by 6 points or less.  Dallas is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games against a team with a losing record.  Take Toronto.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on The Citadel +13.5

The Key: The Citadel is 8-2 this season and better than this 13.5-point spread would indicate.  They opened 8-0 this season before losing their last 2 games to 2 very good teams in Furman by 6 and VMI by 7.  So they haven't lost by this kind of margin all season.  UNC-Greensboro is 8-5 this season with upset losses to Winthrop, Coppin State, East Tennessee State and Wofford.  They haven't shown enough to be favored this heavily.  The Citadel is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 games off 2 straight games where they made 10 or more 3-pointers.  They average 14 makes and shoot the 3 at a 43.1% clip.  They will never be out of this game due to their great shooting.  The Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring more than 90 points last game.  The Spartans are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games.  UNC-Greensboro is 6-19-2 ATS in its last 27 games off an ATS win.  Take The Citadel.

6* Spurs/Blazers Western Conference *CA$H COW* on San Antonio -1

The Key: The San Antonio Spurs have won 5 of their last 7 games including upset road wins over the Lakers and Clippers.  Now they face a Blazers team that will be missing 2 of their best players in C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic.  The Blazers just aren't a very good team when they are missing either Lillard or McCollum because they go together like PB and J.  Portland is 0-9-2 ATS in its last 11 home games against a team that wins more than 60% of their road games.  The Spurs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games.  Take San Antonio.

6* Hawks/Timberwolves Non-Conference *CA$H COW* on Minnesota +7.5

The Key: The Atlanta Hawks are just 1-6 SU & 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall.  They are missing several key players including Danilo Gallinari and Bogdan Bogdanovich, and they could be without Cam Redish tonight.  They should not be favored by 7.5 points over anyone considering how poorly they are playing and their injury situation.  Now they face a rested, hungry Timberwolves team that hasn't played since January 13th.  The Hawks are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.  Atlanta is 9-24-2 ATS in its last 35 games against a team with a losing record.  The Timberwolves are 8-3-2 ATS in the last 13 matchups in Atlanta.  Take Minnesota.

6* Sunday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Pelicans/Kings OVER 226

The Key: Sacramento has been an OVER bettors' dream.  The Kings are 6-1 OVER in their last 7 games overall.  They have combined with their opponents for 243, 252, 267, 224, 249, 258 and 238 points in those 7 games, respectively.  That's an average of 247.3 PPG and amazingly none of those games went to OT.  This 226-point total is 21.3 points less than they are averaging over their last 7 games.  The Kings are an offensive juggernaut as they have shot 51.6% or better in 4 of their last 6 games.  And they have the worst defense in the NBA in giving up 118.2 PPG per 100 possessions, a full 4.8 PPG worse than the next worst-team.  The Pelicans have yielded 111 points or more in 6 consecutive games coming in.  The OVER is 5-1 in Pelicans last 6 games.  The OVER is 6-1 in the last 7 matchups in this series with 232 or more combined points scored in 6 of those 7 matchups.  Take the OVER.

6* Bucs/Saints NFC *BAILOUT* on Tampa Bay +3

The Key: The Tampa Bay Bucs want to avenge their 2 regular season losses to the Saints.  They turned the ball over too often and did not play well at all.  But they have been a completely different team since those first 2 matchups.  The Bucs have won 5 straight and are scoring 35.8 PPG during this streak.  They just put up 507 yards against an elite Washington defense last week.  And you know Tom Brady will make the proper adjustments that will allow their offense to have success against the Saints the 3rd time he faces them here.  The Bucs also get good news with LB Devin White returning from a COVID absence against Washington.  He is their best defensive player with 140 tackles and 18 of those coming for loss, including 9 sacks.  The Bucs will avenge those 2 defeats with an upset victory Sunday night.  Take Tampa Bay.

7* AFC Playoffs Game of the Year on Kansas City Chiefs -10

The Key: Andy Reid has a proven track record of being the best coach in the NFL to back off a bye.  The Chiefs needed a bye as they just seemed to be going through the motions down the stretch.  Now they will turn the switch on and put their best foot forward in the playoffs.  And that will be enough to put away the Cleveland Browns by double-digits.  The Browns had everything go their way against the Steelers by forcing 5 turnovers.  They still gave up 37 points and 553 total yards.  They gave up 47 points to Baltimore and 35 points to Tennessee recently.  The Chiefs will do whatever they want to against this soft Cleveland defense.  And I don't trust Baker Mayfield to be able to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and company.  The Browns are 1-10 ATS int heir last 11 road games off a win by 10 points or more over a division opponent.  Cleveland is 9-26-2 ATS in its last 37 games against a team with a winning record.  Take Kansas City.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Memphis -1.5

The Key: This is the perfect situation to back the Memphis Tigers Sunday.  They are rested having last played on December 29th and champing at the bit to get back on the court.  They want to avenge a 49-56 home loss to Tulsa on December 21st as 9.5-point home favorites.  Now this line has been adjusted a full 8 points for home-court advantage with the Tigers only being 1.5-point road favorites in the rematch.  It's too much and it's finally an opportunity to back the Tigers at the right price range after they failed to cover each of their last 6 games ATS.  Tulsa is starting to get a lot of respect after going 6-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall.  The Golden Hurricane finally had their winning streak come to an end with a 53-72 road loss at Wichita State last time out.  Memphis is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games off 2 straight games where both teams scored 65 points or less.  The Tigers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games when avenging a loss.  Take Memphis.

6* UCF/Houston AAC *CA$H COW* on UCF +14

The Key: I like the price we're getting on UCF after going 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in its last 3 games overall.  The Knights will be hungry to get a win here facing a ranked Houston team for a 2nd time this season.  They will also be hungry to avenge their 54-63 loss as 7.5-point home dogs to the Cougars on December 26th.  Now they have adjusted this line a full 6.5 points for home-court advantage which is too much with the Knights coming back as 14-point dogs in the rematch.  The Knights are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 Sunday games.  UCF is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 road games against a team that wins more than 80% of their games on the season.  Take UCF.

6* Ravens/Bills AFC *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 50

The Key: Temperatures will be in the 20s with wind and a chance of snow in Buffalo Saturday night.  Points will be hard to come by.  Both of these defenses are playing tremendous football down the stretch.  The Bills are giving up 19.1 PPG in their last 7 games.  The Ravens have yielded 19 points or fewer in 6 of their last 7 games overall, including 14 points or fewer in 4 straight.  And the Ravens like to control the ball with their running game, which chews clock and helps the UNDER.  They average 35 rushing attempts and just 25 passing attempts per game.  Baltimore is 10-1 UNDER in its last 11 games off 3 consecutive covers as a favorite.  The UNDER is 5-1 in Ravens last 6 road games.  The UNDER is 6-2 in the last 8 matchups.  Take the UNDER.

7* ACC Game of the Month on Clemson +2

The Key: Clemson is one of the most underrated teams in the country.  The Tigers are 9-1 SU & 7-3 ATS this season, including 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS at home.  And now they are getting no respect again as home underdogs to Virginia.  The Tigers have had 10 days to get ready for the Cavaliers after last playing on January 5th.  Virginia only has 2 days to get ready for Clemson after beating Notre Dame on Wednesday.  That's a big advantage for the Tigers.  Clemson is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 home games off a conference win.  Virginia is 0-8 ATS in its last 8 games off a home win by 10 points or more.  The Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as home underdogs.  Take Clemson.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on San Antonio Spurs -7

The Key: The situation really favors the San Antonio Spurs tonight.  They were upset 105-109 by the Rockets on Thursday night as 7.5-point favorites.  They had control of that game late in the 4th quarter with a 9-point lead and let it slip away.  They come back hungry for a victory tonight against the same opponent.  The Rockets will be short-handed again without Wall, House, Cousins and possibly Gordon.  The Spurs are 54-26 ATS when revenging a loss, including 34-17 ATS when revenging a same season loss.  Take San Antonio.

6* Baylor/Texas Tech Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Texas Tech +4.5

The Key: This feels like the game Baylor suffers its first loss of the season.  Texas Tech is playing its best basketball of the season and just upset Texas on the road.  The Red Raiders also beat Kansas State by 11 and Iowa State by 27.  The Red Raiders are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs.  The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups.  Take Texas Tech.

6* Michigan/Minnesota Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Minnesota +6

The Key: The Minnesota Golden Gophers are hungry for a win following 2 straight road losses to arguably the 2 best teams in the Big Ten in Michigan and Iowa.  Now they have had 5 days to get ready to avenge that loss to the Wolverines after last playing Iowa on Sunday.  And they take on a Wolverines team primed for a letdown off a big home win over Wisconsin on Tuesday.  They won't be that hungry to beat Minnesota again.  The Golden Gophers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games, which includes upset wins over Saint Louis, Iowa and Michigan State as well as a blowout win by 17 over Ohio State.  Take Minnesota.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +7

The Key: The Los Angeles Clippers haven't won any of their last 7 games by more than 7 points and have gone 2-5 ATS during this stretch.  They shouldn't be 7-point road favorites over a hungry Sacramento Kings team tonight.  The Kings have won their last 2 matchups with the Clippers by a combined 30 points and covered the spread in those 2 games by a combined 53 points.  Take Sacramento.

6* NCAAB Horizon League *CA$H COW* on Cleveland State +9.5

The Key: Cleveland State has gone 8-0 SU & 7-1 ATS in Horizon League play this season.  The oddsmakers have not caught up to how good the Vikings really are.  And prior to this 8-0 run they only lost 61-67 at Ohio State as a 23.5-point dog.  So the Vikings are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.  Wright State is grossly overrated right now.  They are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall with outright losses to Oakland by 10 as 11-point favorites and Youngstown State by 2 as 11.5-point favorites.  They are being asked to win this game by double-digits to beat us tonight.  Take Cleveland State.

6* NCAAB Big South *CA$H COW* on Presbyterian +8

The Key: Presbyterian only lost 46-48 as 7.5-point road dogs to Campbell yesterday.  Now they come back as 8-point dogs today in the rematch.  Campbell is just 3-7 SU in its last 10 games overall with wins by 2, 6 and 9 points.  So they have won just one of their last 10 games by this kind of margin, and that was a 9-point win over Gardner Webb.  Presbyterian has lost just one of its last 6 games by more than 6 points.  The Fighting Camels are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games off a win.  Take Presbyterian.

6* Pepperdine/Gonzaga ESPN *CA$H COW* on Pepperdine +26.5

The Key: Pepperdine covered easily in both matchups with Gonzaga last year.  They only lost 70-75 as a 21-point road underdog and 77-89 as a 15-point home underdog.  And now the Waves are 26.5-point dogs in their first matchup of the 2020-21 season.  Pepperdine took UCLA to overtime, only lost to a very good San Diego State team by 5, and beat California by 12.  So the Waves have proven they can hang with some very good teams.  They have one of the best players in the country in Colbey Ross, who averages 19.0 PPG and 7.2 APG.  He is joined by Kessler Edwards (17.2 PPG, 5.9 RPG), and these 2 are capable of keeping the Waves competitive in this game for 40 minutes.  The Waves are 28-12-1 ATS in their last 41 games against teams that win more than 60% of their games.  Pepperdine is 19-7-1 ATS in its last 27 games as a road underdog.  The Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record.  The Waves are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams that outscore their opponents by 4 PPG or more.  The Waves are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games off 2 or more consecutive losses.  Take Pepperdine.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Toronto Raptors -9

The Key: The situation really favors the Toronto Raptors tonight.  They come in on 2 days' rest and ready to roll.  The Hornets are playing the 2nd of a back-to-back and their 5th game in 7 days.  Gordon Hayward is averaging 26.6 PPG in his last 5 games and got hurt in their 11-point loss to the Mavericks last night.  He is questionable to play tonight.  The Raptors are 13-2 ATS in their last 15 games as a home favorite of -6.5 to -12.  Take Toronto.

7* Rockets/Spurs TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on San Antonio -7

The Key: The San Antonio Spurs have won 4 of their last 5 games including upset wins over both the Lakers and Clippers.  They are playing well right now and will be taking on a Houston Rockets team in turmoil.  The Rockets just traded away James Harden.  They won't have any of the players they gained in the trade in the lineup.  Plus their best player in John Wall is out, as is key contributor John Wall.  Eric Gordon is also questionable.  The Rockets will have a suspect lineup tonight to say the least.  Houston is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 road games.  The Rockets are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss by more than 10 points.  They are coming off 2 straight 17-point losses to the Lakers.  The Rockets are 1-4 SU & 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall with all 4 losses coming by 7 points or more.  Take San Antonio.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +3.5

The Key: The Sacramento Kings have shot 51.6%, 56.8% and 56% from the field in 3 of their last 4 games overall.  They are an offensive juggernaut.  The only exception was the 40.7% they shot in a 99-125 loss to the Blazers on January 9th.  Now the Kings will be hungry to avenge that defeat as they get to play the Blazers just 4 days later.  And while the Kings are almost fully healthy now, the Blazers could be without Jusuf Nurkic, plus Damian Lillard is dealing with an ankle injury.  The Kings are 26-11 ATS in their last 37 games after losing 5 or 6 of their last 7 games overall.  Sacramento is 12-5-1 ATS in its last 18 games as an underdog.  Take Sacramento.

7* Mountain West Game of the Month on Wyoming +9.5

The Key: Boise State is getting too much respect from the books due to its 10-game winning streak.  The Broncos will now have to take on a hungry Wyoming team looking to avenge its loss in the first game in this matchup on Monday.  Boise State won the first matchup by 23 points, but it was a 5-point game with under 8 minutes to play.  And the Broncos have failed to cover in the last 2 times they've been in this situation.  They beat San Jose State by 52 and came back and won by just 1 point in the rematch.  They beat Air Force by 19 and came back and won by 11 in the rematch.  And this game will be decided by 9 points or fewer to give the Cowboys the cover.  The Cowboys are a sensational 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games revenging a loss in the same season.  Take Wyoming.

6* Wednesday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on La Salle +5

The Key: George Mason has no business being a favorite here.  The Patriots are 4-5 this season with 3 of their wins coming by 1, 2 and 5 points.  The only exception was an 84-70 win over Howard as a 20-point favorite.  La Salle is 5-6 this season with 4 wins by double-digits and a 67-65 upset win at Dayton as an 11.5-point underdog.  The Explorers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  La Salle is 14-1 ATS in its last 15 road games off 2 straight games with 10 or fewer steals.  The Explorers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games off 2 straight games with 9 or fewer offensive rebounds.  George Mason is 4-15 ATS in its last 19 home games after playing a game as an underdog.  Take La Salle.

6* Pacers/Warriors NBA TV *BAILOUT* on UNDER 228.5

The Key: The Indiana Pacers are a tired team right now after losing 122-127 in Sacramento last night.  They aren't going to be looking to run tonight, and they are going to be without both Victor Oladipo and TJ Warren, who combine to average 35.5 PPG.  Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis both played nearly 40 minutes last night and will be tired as well.  I expect this pace to be slower than oddsmakers expect.  And the Warriors have been a great UNDER bet recently because they lack offensive firepower outside of Steph Curry.  They have been having to win with defense.  The UNDER is 7-3 in all Warriors games this season, including 3-0 in the last 3 with combined scores of 209, 220 and 211 points against the Clippers (twice) and Raptors.  Those are 2 really good offensive teams like Indiana who they held in check.  Indiana is 21-8 UNDER in its last 29 games after a combined score of 245 points or more.  Bets on the UNDER on all teams where the total is 210 or higher (Indiana) an excellent shooting team making 47.5% or better against an average shooting team (43.5-45.5%) after 3 straight games where they allowed 47% shooting or higher are 31-8  since 1996.  The UNDER is 7-2 in Pacers last 9 games as underdogs.  The UNDER is 6-1 in Warriors last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their last game.  Take the UNDER.

7* Big 12 *HEAVY HITTER* on TCU +6.5

The Key: The TCU Horned Frogs will be looking to avenge a 78-82 home loss to the Oklahoma Sooners in their first matchup this year.  This is a TCU team that has gone 5-2 SU in their last 7 games overall with their only losses coming to the 2 best teams in the Big 12 in Baylor and Kansas.  The Horned Frogs won't have to face Oklahoma's 2nd-leading scorer in Brady Manek, who is out with COVID.  He averages 13.4 PPG this year and had 14 points and 6 boards in their first matchup this season.  The underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 matchups.  TCU is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 road games.  The Sooners are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team that wins more than 60% of their road games.  Take TCU.

6* Duke/VA Tech ACC *CA$H COW* on Duke -1

The Key: The Duke Blue Devils are starting to live up to their potential after 2 early losses to Michigan State and Illinois.  They have won 3 straight coming in and now the situation favors them tonight against Virginia Tech.  The Blue Devils have had 2 days to get ready for this game while the Hokies only have one day to get ready after playing Notre Dame on Sunday.  The Hokies are 0-10 ATS in their last 10 games after 4 straight games where they committed 11 or fewer turnovers.  The Blue Devils are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 road games after playing 2 consecutive home games.  The Hokies are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as home underdogs.  Take Duke.

6* Raptors/Blazers NBA *CA$H COW* on Toronto +5

The Key: The price is right to back the Toronto Raptors, who are just shockingly 2-7 this year.  They play a Blazers team that has feasted on a weak schedule of late playing the Warriors (twice), Bulls, Timberwolves and Kings.  And they were upset in 2 of those games.  They should not be 5-point favorites here tonight against a Raptors team that is much better than their record would suggest.  And the fact that the Raptors are playing for a 2nd consecutive night is being factored into this line too much.  They know they have 2 days off after this and will be laying it all on the line to close out this 4-game road trip with a victory.  The Raptors are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs.  The Blazers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.  Portland is 3-9-1 ATS in its last 13 games against a team that wins less than 40% of their games.  Take Toronto.

7* Ohio State/Alabama NCAAF *HEAVY HITTER* on Alabama -8.5

The Key: The Alabama Crimson Tide are going to go down as one of the best teams in college football history.  They have an elite defense as always, giving up 19 PPG.  But their offense is a record-setting one that will continue to pile on the points against Ohio State.  The Crimson Tide average 48.2 PPG and 535 YPG this year as they have outscored their foes by 29.2 PPG on the season.  And they have let up in the 2nd half of most their games.  They won't let up against the Buckeyes after seeing what they did to Clemson last week.  That was an aberration as the Buckeyes managed just 22 points against Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship the week prior.  Clemson just allowed receivers to get behind them the entire game, which was a terrible strategy.  I trust Nick Saban to make the proper adjustments defensively.  And the weakness of this Ohio State defense is their secondary, which allowed 491 passing yards to Indiana and 400 more to Clemson.  That's bad news going up against Mac Jones, Devonta Smith and perhaps Jaylen Waddle returning.  The Buckeyes are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after yielding more than 280 passing yards in their last game.  The Crimson Tide are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 against Big Ten opponents.  The Crimson Tide are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games off an ATS loss.  Take Alabama.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Bradley +1.5

The Key: Northern Iowa is getting too much respect from the books today as favorites against a Bradley team that has won the MVC Tournament each of the last 2 years and is very close to being 10-0 this season.  All 4 losses the Braves have suffered were by 6 points or fewer.  That includes their 6-point loss to Northern Iowa yesterday in which they fell apart down the stretch.  Now the Braves will be looking to avenge that defeat and should get the job done today.  The Panthers are just 3-7 SU & 2-7 ATS this season with 5 upset losses as favorites.  They'll suffer another in this rematch tonight.  Take Bradley.

7* NFL Wild Card Game of the Year on Pittsburgh Steelers -6

The Key: The Pittsburgh Steelers nearly beat the Cleveland Browns last week even with resting their starters.  They lost 22-24 but gained 394 yards with a backup QB.  They were a failed 2-point conversion from forcing OT.  Now the Steelers have their starters back and will win and cover in the rematch similar to when they beat the Browns 38-7 at home earlier this year.  Roethlisberger is 24-2-1 all-time against Cleveland and has never lost to them at home.  The Steelers are now 26-2 SU & 18-9-1 ATS in their last 28 home matchups with Cleveland.  The Browns will now be without head coach Kevin Stefanski due to COVID, and he is their play-caller on offense.  It's a huge loss.  The Browns are 8-26-2 ATS in their last 36 vs. a team with a winning record.  Cleveland is 3-11 ATS in its last 14 road games.  The Steelers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine playoff home games.  The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups.  Take Pittsburgh.

6* Sunday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Spurs/Timberwolves UNDER 233

The Key: I cashed in the OVER 232.5 yesterday between the Spurs and Timberwolves and got lucky.  It was tied 113-113 at the end of regulation for 226 combined points before getting OVER in overtime.  And both teams shot lights out from 3-point range with the Timberwolves going 15-for-30 (50%) and the Spurs going 13-for-32 (40.6%).  Neither are likely to shoot that well again today, and familiarity favors defense and the UNDER.  Take the UNDER.
