15* MAVS/WARRIORS NBA SHARP WINNER on Mavs -8 -110

My money is on the Mavericks to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Warriors. Dallas is coming off an unfortunate non-cover against the Spurs, as they scored just 2 points over the final 6 minutes in a 4 point win. Doncic did make his return in that game and he was right back to his MVP form. Warriors have won 4 straight, but are due to lay an egg here and are likely going to be out of gas playing on no rest and their 3rd game in 4 nights. BET THE MAVS -8! 

20* RAPTORS/CELTICS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics -5½ -110

My money is on the Celtics to cash in a win and cover at home against the Raptors. These two teams just played in Toronto on Christmas Day and Boston won that matchup by 16. Celtics did as they pleased offensively, shooting 50% from the field and I expect more of the same in the rematch. Toronto just doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep pace with Siakam sidelined. BET THE CELTICS -5.5! 

20* ISU/NOTRE DAME CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Iowa State vs Notre Dame under 54½ -110

I'll gladly take the UNDER 54.5 in Saturday's matchup between Notre Dame and Iowa State in the Camping World Bowl. I just think both offenses are going to have a really hard time scoring in this one. Iowa State 's defensive numbers are skewed a bit because of all the high-powered offenses they face in the Big 12. This team is built more like a Big Ten team and I don't think Notre Dame is anything special offensively. BET THE UNDER 54.5! 

15* SUNS/WARRIORS NBA SHARP WINNER on Suns -3 +102

My money is on the Suns to cash in a win and cover at Golden State in Friday's NBA action. Golden State pulled off a massive upset at home against the Rockets on Christmas Day and I think they put every ounce of energy they had into that game. I just don't think we see anything close to that kind of effort here against Phoenix and that's why a Suns team that has lost 7 straight is laying points on the road. BET PHOENIX -3! 

20* WASHINGTON ST/AIR FORCE CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Washington State vs Air Force under 69 -105

My money is on the UNDER 69 in Friday's Cheez-It Bowl that has Washington State taking on Air Force. There's definitely going to be some offense in this one, but I think the number has been set way too high. Air Force eats up a lot of clock with their running game and while the Cougars are a pass first team, they do a lot of dink and dunk stuff that's basically just like running. BET THE UNDER 69! 

20* FLAMES/OILERS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Flames -111

My money is on the Flames to cash in a win at Edmonton as a small favorite in Friday's NHL action. Oilers just aren't playing good hockey at this time. Edmonton is a mere 2-7 in their last 9 games and have scored 2 or fewer goals in 5 of their last 6. BET THE FLAMES -111! 

15* PENGUINS/PREDATORS NHL SHARP WINNER on Penguins +115

My money is on the Penguins to cash in a win as a small road dog against the Predators. Just too good a price to pass up with Pittsburgh right now. Penguins are 7-2 in their last 9 games and while they only scored 1 goal in their most recent matchup, they had 14 goals in their previous 3 games. Nashville has allowed 13 in their last 4. BET THE PENGUINS +115! 

20* BUCKS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks +12 -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in a cover as a double-digit home dog against the Bucks in Friday's NBA action. The books know the public will be itching to back Milwaukee off their ugly loss to the 76ers on Christmas Day and have definitely inflated the number here to where the value is with the Hawks. Atlanta has been very profitable in this spot going 30-16 ATS last 46 as a dog of 10 or more. BET THE HAWKS +12! 

15* SPURS/MAVS NBA SHARP WINNER on Spurs +6 -100

My money is on the Spurs to cash in a cover here as a 6-point road dog against the Mavs in Thursday's NBA action. Dallas is expected to get back Doncic, but I believe it has them laying a few more than they should be against a San Antonio team that has been playing much better of late. Mavs only won by 7 in the first meeting this season at Dallas and they did so shooting 50% from the field. Good chance they don't shoot that good the second time around. BET THE SPURS +6!

20* PITT/E MICHIGAN CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pittsburgh -11 -110

My money is on the Panthers to cash in a win and cover against Eastern Michigan in Thursday's Quick Lane Bowl. A lot of people are leaning to the Eagles because of the fact that Pitt hasn't won a game all season by more than 10 points. I just think that's a mistake. The Panthers are hands down the better team and Eastern Michigan is lucky to even be in a bowl. The Eagles went just 3-5 in a awful MAC conference this year, which was tied for the 3rd worst record in the league. I just don't think they have any hope of keeping this close. BET THE PANTHERS -11! 

20* KNICKS/NETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks vs Nets over 221 -109

My money is on the OVER 221 in Thursday's NBA action that has the Nets hosting the Knicks. I just think the books have completely missed the mark here. New York is playing little to no defense at the moment, as they have allowed 120 or more points in 4 straight. They keep that trend alive and we basically just need them to score 100 to cash a winner. Shouldn't be too tough as the Nets are allowing 111.7 ppg on the season and have allowed 110 or more in 4 of their last 6. BET THE OVER 221! 

20* BOISE ST/UTEP CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Boise State vs UTEP over 133½ -115

My money is on the OVER 133.5 in Wednesday's college hoops action between Boise State and UTEP out in Hawaii at the Diamond Head Classic. The Broncos come in averaging 79.1 ppg and are giving up 79 ppg on the road. So while UTEP is a more defensive minded team, I think we see this one played at Boise State's pace, especially with both teams playing for the 3rd time in 4 days. BET THE OVER 133.5! 

15* BUCKS/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Bucks -2½ -115

My money is on the Bucks to cash in an easy win and cover at Philadelphia on Christmas Day. As good as the 76ers are at home, this is just too good a price to pass up with Milwaukee. The Bucks simply are on a different level than the other teams in the east and will be out to send a message to the 76ers that they got no shot of knocking them off the top spot. BET THE BUCKS -2.5! 

20* CELTICS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics -2½ -109

My money is on the Celtics to cash in a win at Toronto on Christmas Day. The Raptors have been better than expected without Siakam, but I just think it will be too much to overcome against Boston today. Celtics are red-hot coming into this one having won and covered 3 straight and are 7-2 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. Celtics are 10-4-1 ATS last 15 on the road vs a team that's won more than 60% of their home games and 7-3-1 ATS last 11 as a road favorite. BET BOSTON -2.5! 

20* BYU/HAWAII CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii +2 -108

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a win and cover at home against BYU. This has been quite a season for Hawaii, who just got done playing the MWC Championship Game. I think the Warriors are going to be really excited here to cap off this season with a win at home, which would give them double-digit wins on the season. They also want their revenge on BYU from last year's blowout loss in Provo. I don't know that the same motivation will be there for the Cougars in this one. BET HAWAII +2! 

20* BALL ST/UTEP CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ball State vs UTEP under 125 -110

My money is on the UNDER 125 in Monday's late night college hoops action out in Honolulu between UTEP and Ball State. These are two strong defensive teams. Cardinals are giving up just 61.6 ppg and the Miners allow just 61.7. That combined with the likely poor shooting with the location and time of this game makes this an easy play. BET THE UNDER 125! 

15* ROCKETS/KINGS NBA SHARP WINNER on Kings +6 -110

My money is on the Kings to cash in a cover at home against the Rockets. I just think Houston is going to have a hard time giving Sacramento their full attention and the Kings are going to come out with everything they got to get a win after losing their last 3. Sacramento is 22-8 ATS last 30 when they have lost 3 of their last 4. BET THE KINGS +6! 

20* HAWKS/CAVS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks vs Cavs over 225 -110

My money is on the OVER 225 in Monday's NBA action that has the Hawks visiting the Cavs. No need to overthink this one. You got two teams that don't play a whole lot of defense. Atlanta is giving up 125.1 ppg on the road and Cleveland is giving up 111.3 ppg at home and 114.4 ppg in their last 5. BET THE OVER 225! 

15* BULLS/MAGIC NBA SHARP WINNER on Bulls +5 -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a cover here at Orlando. This is too good a price here with Chicago. Bulls have covered 4 straight and are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games. Magic are headed the other direction. Orlando has lost 3 straight and 6 of 7 overall. BET THE BULLS +5! 

20* MARSHALL/UCF CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Marshall vs Central Florida under 62 -110

My money is on the UNDER 62 in Monday's Gasparilla Bowl between Marshall and UCF. The Knights put up 43 ppg, but Marshall has a strong defense and more times than not high scoring offenses don't put up the kind of numbers you would expect in bowl games. I also don't think the Herd are going to do a ton here offensively. BET THE UNDER 62!

15* NUGGETS/LAKERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Lakers -6½ -110

My money is on the Lakers to cash in a win and cover at home against the Nuggets. I get the line here has dropped some with the news that LeBron James will be sitting out, but I still like LA to win here going away. We are going to get a max effort from the Lakers after losing 2 straight and those that are playing are going to want to show that it's not just all James that makes them great. Nuggets are also not a great road team. Denver is 13-3 at home compared to just 6-5 on the road. Big reason for the Nuggets road struggles is their offense goes missing on the road. Denver is averaging just 104.8 ppg away from home. BET THE LAKERS -6.5! 

20* FLAMES/STARS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Flames vs Stars over 5½ +111

My money is on the OVER 5.5 in Sunday's NHL matchup that has the Stars hosting the Flames. Dallas comes in red-hot offensively having scored 4 goals in each of their last 2 games and 3 of their last 4. They also aren't playing much defense, giving up 10 goals in their last two, including 7 last time out against Florida. Perfect spot for Calgary's struggling offense to get on track. Flames have also allowed 4 goals in 3 straight. BET THE OVER 5.5! 

20* CS-FULLERTON/LOYOLA MARYMOUNT CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Loyola Marymount -6½ -115

My money is on Loyola Marymount to cash in a win and cover at home against Cal St Fullerton. The Lions simply should have no problem winning this matchup. The Titans come in having lost 6 straight and are just 3-8 ATS on the season. Fullerton is a mere 6-20 ATS last 26 as a dog, while Marymount has covered 9 of their last 14 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. BET THE LIONS -6.5! 

20* MAVS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mavs +3½ -110

My money is on the Mavericks to cash in a win and cover here as a small road dog against the Raptors. Dallas has shown they can still be a force without Doncic, as they have racked up wins over both the Bucks and 76ers on the road. Toronto was able to win at home over Washington in their first game without Siakam, but I'm not the least bit confident in their ability to keep playing well without him. BET THE MAVS +3.5! 

20* BENGALS/DOLPHINS NFL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Bengals vs Dolphins under 46½ -110

My money is on the UNDER 46.5 in Sunday's NFL action that has the Dolphins hosting the Bengals. I get the Dolphins defense has been exposed on numerous occasions, but they should be in line for one of their best performances of the season against a struggling Bengals offense. Cincinnati hasn't scored more than 23 points in a game all season and have only eclipsed the 20 point mark 3 times. Really hard to combined for 47 points when one team can't offer much to help. I also think Miami's offense struggles a bit here as they really have no incentive to show up. BET THE UNDER 46.5! 

20* CANADIENS/OILERS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Canadiens -118

My money is on the Canadiens to cash in a win on the road against the Oilers in Saturday's NHL action. Two teams simply headed in different directions. Montreal comes in having won 5 of 6, while Edmonton has lost 6 of their last 7. BET THE CANADIENS -118! 

15* PREDATORS/BRUINS NHL SHARP WINNER on Bruins -159

My money is on the Bruins to cash in a win at home against Nashville in Saturday's NHL action. Boston is going to be one pissed off team when they take the ice for this one. Bruins have lost 7 of their last 8 games and it's not like they aren't playing well. Each of their last 4 losses have all come by a mere 1-goal. They turn that bad luck around against the Predators and their road woes. BET THE BRUINS -159! 

20* HAWKS/NETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks vs Nets under 231 -110

My money is on the UNDER 231 in Saturday's NBA action between the Hawks and Nets. There's going to be plenty of points scored in this one, but not nearly enough to eclipse the total of 231. UNDER is 3-1 in Atlanta's last 4 and 10-5-1 in Brooklyn's last 16 games. BET THE UNDER 231! 

15* JAZZ/HORNETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Jazz -5 -110

My money is on the Jazz to cash in a win and cover at Charlotte in Saturday's NBA action. Utah has finally got thing rolling. Jazz have won 4 straight and easily the better team in this matchup. Charlotte is simply getting too much love having won 4 of 6, but those wins are all against sub-par teams. BET UTAH -5! 

20* SMU/FAU BOCA RATON BOWL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on SMU vs Florida Atlantic under 69½ -110

My money is on the UNDER in Saturday's Boca Raton Bowl that has FAU hosting SMU. While there's going to be some points, I don't know that we are going to get the production needed out of the Owls here. FAU doesn't have Kiffin to call plays and has several key players out on offense. SMU is fully capable of scoring 40, but might not have to if this gets out of hand. Either way, I don't see these two eclipsing the mark. BET THE UNDER 69.5! 

20* PENGUINS/OILERS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Oilers +115

My money is on the Oilers to cash in a win as a small home dog against the Penguins in Friday's NHL action. Edmonton has a pretty decent goalie protecting the net and Pittsburgh is just 12-26 in their last 38 on the road against a starting goalie that is saving 91.5% or more of the shots against. Penguins are also just 6-8 away from home compared to 14-6 at home.  BET THE OILERS +115. 

20* KNICKS/HEAT NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Heat -10 -105

My money is on the Heat to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Knicks. New York comes in having won 3 of 4 and covered 4 straight, but a lot of those were against similarly bad teams. I'm confident they will struggle to keep it close against a really good Miami team that is 11-1 at home. Heat are outscoring opponents at home by 14.2 ppg and Knicks are getting outscored on the road by 12.0 ppg. BET THE HEAT -10! 

15* MAVS/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on 76ers -7½ -110

My money is on the 76ers to cash in a win and cover at home against the Mavs. Dallas has played well without Doncic in the first two games without him, but did kinda fall apart in their last game at home against the Celtics. I just think it's going to get harder and harder without him and the 76ers are going to be 100% locked in for this game after losing 2 straight. BET PHILADELPHIA -7.5! 

15* PISTONS/HEAT NBA SHARP WINNER on Pistons +8 -106

My money is on the Pistons to cash in a cover here as a big road dog against the Celtics. Detroit is a difficult team to back with their consistent play and no one is going to want anything to do with them right now given the injuries they are dealing with. However, I think the line has been over adjusted in favor of Boston and the value is with the Pistons. Celtics have also not fared well in this spot, going just 3-9-2 ATS last 14 at home vs a team with a losing road record. BET THE PISTONS +8! 

20* AKRON/TULANE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Akron -5 -105

My money is on the Zips to cash in a win and cover against the Green Wave in Friday's college hoops action. These two will be meeting up in DC at the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Both teams are 8-2 but the matchup here favors Akron. Tulane isn't the best offensive team and the Zips are holding opponents to just 61.9 ppg and 36% shooting. Green Wave give up a ton of open 3s and Akron has a number of guys who can knock it down from deep. Zips average 9 made 3-pointers and should easily hit that. BET AKRON -5! 

20* ROCKETS/CLIPPERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Rockets +5½ -110

My money is on the Rockets to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point dog at Los Angeles in Thursday's NBA action. Houston hasn't been playing all that great of late, but are coming off a huge momentum building win over the Spurs, where they overcame the largest deficit (25 points) in franchise history. These two have played twice. Rockets won and covered as a mere 2-point home favorite on 11/13. They did lose the rematch in LA, but covered in that one as well as a 5-point dog. BET THE ROCKETS +5.5! 

20* ARK-LITTLE ROCK/UL-MONROE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Arkansas-Little Rock vs Louisiana-Monroe over 124 -110

My money is on the OVER 124 in Thursday's college hoops action that has Arkansas-Little Rock visiting Louisiana Monroe. This is just too low a number to pass up. These two combined for 141 and 181 points in their two games last year. OVER has cashed in 14 of the Warhawks last 18 home games and is 15-4 in their last 19 at home vs a conference opponent. BET THE OVER 124! 

20* PREDATORS/SENATORS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Senators +130

My money is on the Senators to cash in a win as a decently priced home dog against the Predators in Thursday's NHL action. Nashville may have the better record, but are a mediocre 5-5 in their last 10 and have given up 13 goals in their last 4 games. This is also the 3rd straight road game for Nashville in a span of just 4 days. BET THE SENATORS +130! 

20* MAGIC/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets -8½ -115

My money is on the Nuggets to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Magic. This might seem like a big number for Orlando be catching, but I don't think it's near enough. Magic are in about as tough a scheduling spot as you will find, as they have to go from playing at Utah last night to at Denver tonight. This also their 3rd road game in 4 days and the defense, which has carried them, is not producing, having allowed 47% or worse in each of their last 3. BET THE NUGGETS -8.5! 

20* AVALANCHE/BLACKHAWKS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Blackhawks +129

My money is on the Blackhawks to cash in a win as a home dog against the Avalanche. I just think this is too good a price to pass up with Chicago. Blackhawks were able to snap a 4-game skid with a 5-3 win over Minnesota on Sunday. Note they will be on 2 days rest. Colorado just lost at St Louis 5-2 and are playing their 2nd road game in 3 nights. BET THE BLACKHAWKS +129! 

20* UTAH ST/S FLORIDA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Utah State -8 -110

My money is on the Aggies to cash in an easy win and cover against South Florida in Wednesday's college hoops action. Utah State is 10-2 and are going to be highly motivated after losing a heartbreaker last time out to BYU 64-68. South Florida has won and covered 3 in a row, but this is not a great team and I just don't think they will score enough. Bulls are averaging a mere 59.3 ppg away from home and Utah State is giving up just 60.9 ppg and holding teams to 38.6% shooting. BET THE AGGIES -8! 

15* ILL-CHICAGO/ILLINOIS ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Illinois-Chicago +6 -110

My money is on the Flames to cash in a cover on the road against Illinois State in Wednesday's college hoops action. These are two bad teams and with that said, the Redbirds should not be laying this kind of number. Illinois State is just 2-6 over their last 8. Illinois Chicago has covered 3 of their last 4 and are 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team with a losing record. BET THE FLAMES +6! 

15* WILD/GOLDEN KNIGHTS NHL SHARP WINNER on Golden Knights -166

My money is on the Golden Knights to cash in a win at home against the Wild in Tuesday's NHL action. Vegas is hot right now. Knights have won 2 straight and 7 of their last 10. I look for them to keep it going at home against a Minnesota team that is just 7-14 on the road this season. BET LAS VEGAS -166! 

20* NEB-OMAHA/E WASHINGTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nebraska-Omaha vs Eastern Washington under 161 -115

My money is on the UNDER 161 in Tuesday's college hoops action that has Eastern Washington hosting Nebraska-Omaha. This number has been drastically inflated based off the resent results of these two teams. Eastern Washington just put up 146 in a win over Multnomah Bible and Nebraska-Omaha scored 92 in a win over UTRGV. EWU is averaging 90.0 ppg, but their opponents on average are giving up 81.7 ppg. Omaha only gives up 73.5 ppg and EWU allows just 69.5 ppg at home. BET THE UNDER 161! 

20* HAWKS/KNICKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks -1 -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a win and cover at home against the Hawks in Tuesday's NBA action. Neither of these teams are any good, but New York has been playing better of late, as they come in having covered 3 in a row. Hawks are just 3-11 on the road this season, where they are getting outscored by 14.7 ppg. BET THE KNICKS -1! 

20* KINGS/BRUINS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Kings vs Bruins over 5½ -107

My money is on the OVER 5.5 in Tuesday's NHL action that has the Bruins hosting the Kings. LA is averaging 3.2 goals/game in their last 5 and Boston is allowing 3.4 goals/game in their last 5. Bruins score 3.4 goals/game at home and Kings give up 3.8 goals/game on the road. BET THE OVER 5.5! 

15* NORTHEASTERN/E MICHIGAN CBB SHARP WINNER on Northeastern PK -110

My money is on the Huskies to cash in a win and cover as a pick'em against the Eagles. The line here really says it all. Eastern Michigan is 8-1 overall 4-0 at home and not favored against a 5-5 Northeastern team that has failed to cover 4 of their last 5. This just goes to show you how easy the schedule has been for the Eagles. BET THE HUSKIES PK! 

20* UC-SANTA BARBARA/IDAHO ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UC-Santa Barbara -7 -103

My money is on UC-Santa Barbara to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Bengals. The Gauchos lost last time out at Southern Utah, but covered as a dog in a 61-62 loss. Santa Barbara had won 5 straight prior to that setback, including road wins over CS-Bakersfield and TX-Arlington. Gauchos are also a dominant 9-1 ATS last 10 on the road after a road loss by 3 or less. BET UC-SANTA BARBARA -7! 

20* COLTS/SAINTS NFL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Colts vs Saints over 46½ -110

My money is on the OVER 46.5 between the Colts and Saints on Monday Night Football. Indy's defense is not nearly as good against the pass (21st) as they are against the run (9th) and last week they let Jameis Winston throw for 467 yards and 4 scores. Saints are averaging 35.0 ppg in their last 4 and have averaged 34.2 ppg at home on Monday Night Football under head coach Sean Payton. With all the injuries New Orleans is dealing with defensively, I think the Colts do more than enough to eclipse the mark. BET THE OVER 46.5! 

20* BULLS/THUNDER NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Thunder -5½ -105

My money is on the Thunder to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Bulls. This is just too good a price to pass up on OKC. I believe the value here is due to the fact the Bulls are off a big win against the Clippers and have covered 7 of their last 9. Thing with that win over LAC is the Clippers didn't have Leonard, Beverly or Williams. Bulls are just 4-8 on the road and are one of the worst offensive teams in the league. I just don't think they can keep pace offensively. Chicago is giving up 109.7 ppg on the road and OKC is scoring 113.0 ppg at home. BET THE THUNDER -5.5! 

20* PREDATORS/RANGERS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Predators -128

My money is on the Predators to cash in a win on the road against the Rangers in Monday's NHL action. You might be wondering why Nashville is favored here, but I believe it's for a good reason. The biggest factor for me is the tough spot for New York, who has had just 1-day off after finishing up a 4-game west coast road trip on Saturday. Rangers are just 9-20 over the last 2 seasons when playing at home off a road game. BET THE PREDATORS -128! 

20* SE MISSOURI ST/YOUNGSTOWN ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Youngstown State -6 -108

My money is on the Youngstown State to cash in a win and cover at home against SE Missouri State in Sunday's college hoops action. The Penguins are a perfect 4-0 at home, outscoring opponents by almost 23 ppg. SE Missouri State is 1-5 on the road this season and will be playing their 6th straight game away from home. BET YOUNGSTOWN STATE -6! 

20* LAKERS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks +10½ -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in as a 10.5-point home dog against the Lakers in Sunday's NBA action. This is just too many points for LA to be laying in a game they are likely to have a hard time getting up for. Lakers are playing their 3rd straight on the road and 6th game away from home in their last 7. LA knows they don't need their best to beat the Hawks and I think they go through the motions and let Atlanta hang around. BET THE HAWKS +10.5! 

20* FLYERS/JETS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Flyers +132

My money is on the Flyers to cash in a win as a road dog against the Jets in Sunday's NHL action. Philadelphia has lost their last two, but are still 6-3 in their last 9 overall. Winnipeg is fresh off a 5-2 loss at Detroit as a massive -225 favorite. BET THE FLYERS +132! 

20* JAGUARS/RAIDERS NFL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Jaguars vs Raiders over 46 -110

My money is on the OVER 46 in Sunday's NFL action between the Raiders and Jaguars. No need to overthink this one, as we got two defenses that can't stop anything right now. Jacksonville has allowed at least 28 points in each of their last 4 games, giving up 40+ twice during this stretch. Oakland hasn't been much better, allowing 34 or more in each of their last 3 games. BET THE OVER 46! 

15* BRONCOS/CHIEFS NFL SHARP WINNER on Broncos vs Chiefs under 45½ -114

My money is on the UNDER 45.5 in Sunday's NFL action between AFC West rivals Kansas City and Denver. As good as the Chiefs are offensively, they don't figure to light up the scoreboard in this one. That's because the game will be played in a snow storm. I also think last week's offensive outburst by Denver was a fluke, as they simply caught the Texans in a really flat spot after their big prime time win over New England. Not to mention this KC defense has really improved as the season has went along. BET THE UNDER 45.5! 

15* FRESNO ST/CAL POLY CBB SHARP WINNER on Cal Poly +8½ -110

My money is on the Cal Poly to cash in a cover here as a 8.5-point dog at home against Fresno State. The Bulldogs might be the better team, but at 2-7 there's no reason for them to be laying this kind of number. Especially with Cal Poly having just won at home 70-66 as a 5.5-point dog against Siena in their last game. BET CAL POLY +8.5! 

20* THUNDER/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets -7 -105

My money is on the Nuggets to cash in a win and cover at home against the Thunder. Denver has a great home court edge and OKC is really bad on the road. Nuggets are 9-3 at home, outscoring teams by nearly 6 ppg. Thunder are 4-8 on the road and getting outscored by 3.3 ppg. Also a tough spot for OKC playing their 4th straight on the road. BET THE NUGGETS -7! 

15* CAPITALS/LIGHTNING NHL SHARP WINNER on Capitals vs Lightning under 6½ -101

My money is on the UNDER 6.5 in Saturday's NHL action that has Tampa Bay hosting Washington. While these are two decent offensive teams, both are also really good defensively and I think defense will win out here. Tampa Bay has allowed 2 or fewer in 3 of their last 4 and Washington has given up 2 or less goals in 5 of their last 6. BET THE UNDER 6.5! 

20* MAPLE LEAFS/OILERS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Maple Leafs -110

My money is on the Maple Leafs to cash in a win at Edmonton on Saturday. Just a good time to keep fading the Oilers, who come in having lost 3 straight and 6 of 8 overall. Edmonton is really having a tough time defensively. They have allowed 15 goals over their last 3 games and will facing a Maple Leafs offense that has scored 11 in their last 3. BET TORONTO -110!

20* OREGON/MICHIGAN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Oregon vs Michigan over 138 -110

My money is on the OVER is Saturday's college hoops action between Michigan and Oregon. I just think the books have completely missed the mark here. These are two really good offensive teams. Wolverines are scoring 78.5 ppg on 49.5% shooting and the Ducks are scoring 78.9 ppg on 47.7% shooting. We have also seen both teams get into some high-scoring games when matched up against good teams. BET THE OVER THE 138! 

20* KNICKS/KINGS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks +9 -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a cover here as a 9-point dog at the Kings in Friday's NBA action. New York put that awful showing at Portland on Tuesday behind them with a 124-122 OT win at Golden State on Wednesday and have now covered 2 of their last 3. I like the Knicks to keep this close and it wouldn't shock me at all if they won outright. Take New York! 

20* DEVILS/AVALANCHE NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Avalanche -210

My money is on the Avalanche to cash in an easy win at home over New Jersey in Friday's NHL action. Big price here to lay with Colorado, but it would take a really poor performance from the home team to not win here. Avalanche are 20-11 on the season, while the Devils are 9-21. New Jersey is also in awful form having lost 6 straight, while Colorado comes in having won 7 of 8. BET THE AVALANCHE -210! 

20* COLORADO/COLORADO ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Colorado -5 -110

My money is on the Buffaloes to cash in a win and cover against in-state rival Colorado State. I think we are getting a great price here with Colorado. Buffaloes are off back-to-back losses. The first one was almost to be expected as it was at Kansas. The most recent at home to UNI was a bit of a shocker, as they were a 9.5-point favorite. That however is a really good UNI team that should have never been that big of a dog. That loss should have the Buffs 100% locked in for this one. BET COLORADO -5! 

20* KINGS/DUCKS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Kings +126

20* 76ERS/CELTICS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on 76ers vs Celtics under 212½ -110

20* IOWA/IOWA ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Iowa State -3½ -110

15* JETS/RED WINGS NHL SHARP WINNER on Jets -177

20* KNICKS/WARRIORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Warriors -4 -110

My money is on the Warriors to cash in a win at home against the Knicks in Wednesday's NBA action. This might seem like a decent line as the Warriors are sitting at 5-20 and the Knicks are 4-20. The thing is, New York is playing on no rest and are just 1-10 SU on the road this season. Warriors might not have a ton of talent, but they got a lot of heart and should win here easy. BET GOLDEN STATE -4! 

20* FLYERS/AVALANCHE NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Flyers +140

My money is on the Flyers to cash in a win as a road dog against Colorado. This is just too good price to pass up on with Philadelphia with how well they are playing. Flyers have won 6 of their last 7 and have scored 4 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 games. They have also not allowed more than 3 goals in 9 straight. BET PHILADELPHIA +140! 

20* ARKANSAS ST/MISSOURI ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Arkansas State vs Missouri State over 131½ -115

My money is on the OVER 131.5 in Wednesday's college hoops action between Arkansas State and Missouri State. OVER has cashed in 4 of the RedWolves last 6 games and 3 of the last 4 for Missouri State. BET THE OVER 131.5! 

20* DUCKS/WILD NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ducks +150

My money is on the Ducks to cash in a win as a big road dog against the Wild in Tuesday's NHL action. Minnesota just had their 5-game winning streak snappe din an ugly 6-2 loss at Carolina and I think they struggle here to get back in the win column. Ducks have lost 2 in a row, but both were by just 1-goal. They are 23-14 in their last 37 on the road after 2 straight losses by 1 goal. BET THE DUCKS +150! 

20* NUGGETS/76ERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets vs 76ers over 206½ -110

My money is on the OVER 206.5 in Tuesday's NBA action with the Nuggets and 76ers. This is too low a total with the offensive fire-power of these two teams. Philadelphia is rolling right now on offense and while Denver has struggled a bit of late, they are averaging 106.1 ppg on the road. Both teams score at least 105 in this one. BET THE OVER 206.5! 

15* CANADIENS/PENGUINS NHL SHARP WINNER on Canadiens vs Penguins under 6 +103

My money is on the UNDER 6 in Tuesday's NHL action between the Penguins and Canadiens. Montreal's scored 2 or fewer goals in 3 of their last 4 and will be facing a Pittsburgh offense that has scored 3 or fewer in 4 of their last 5. Penguins have also allowed just 3 goals in their last 3 games combined, while Montreal has allowed 3 or fewer in 4 straight. BET THE UNDER 6! 

20* MARYLAND/PENN ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Maryland vs Penn State under 147 -110

My money is on the UNDER 147 in Tuesday's college hoops action between Penn State and Maryland. I get these two teams are scoring at a high clip, but that's to be expected in non-conference. We just saw Maryland play a game at home against Illinois that ended 59-58. Both of these teams are great defensively. Terps are only giving up 60.8 ppg and are holding teams to 37% shooting. Nittany Lions are allowing just 58 ppg and 38% shooting at home. BET THE UNDER 147! 

20* GIANTS/EAGLES NFL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Giants vs Eagles under 45 -110

My money is on the UNDER 45 between the Giants and Eagles on Monday Night Football. This might seem like a low total given the struggles New York's defense has had this season, but I think we are going to get a big effort from the G-men defense in this one, as they would love nothing more than to add to the Eagles struggles. You also have to take into account the poor conditions expected for this game. It's going to rain all afternoon and likely throughout the game, plus there will be some side wind at close to 15 mph. BET THE UNDER 45! 

20* RAPTORS/BULLS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Bulls +7½ -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a cover as a home dog against the Raptors in Monday's NBA action. Chicago is coming off a hard fought OT loss at Miami yesterday and while they came up short they covered for the 4th time in 5 games. Bulls will be out for revenge in this one, as they got embarrassed 108-84 at home by Toronto earlier this season. Now is also the time to go against Toronto. Raptors have lost 3 straight and good chance they may be without one of their best players in Fred VanVleet. BET THE BULLS +7.5! 

20* ISLANDERS/LIGHTNING NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Islanders +155

My money is on the Islanders to cash in a win as a big road underdog at Tampa Bay in Monday's NHL action. This is just too good a price to pass up on with New York, who has won 3 of 5. Tampa Bay on the other hand has lost 4 of 6. Lightning have scored 3 or more in 3 straight, but are just 1-6 this season after scoring 3 or more in 3 straight games. BET THE ISLANDERS +155! 

15* SEAHAWKS/RAMS NFL SHARP WINNER on Rams +1 -105

My money is on the Rams to cash in a win and cover at home against the Seahawks. I just feel like the price here is too good to pass up with LA at home. Rams are not as bad as what people think and I was really impressed with how this team bounced back last week in their blowout win at Arizona off that ugly showing against the Ravens on MNF the week before. SEahawks are also not as good as their 10-2 record. Seattle has been very fortunate in close games and winning on the road inside the division is a real challenge for these NFC West teams. BET THE RAMS +1! 

20* SABRES/OILERS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Sabres +150

My money is on the Sabres to cash in a win here as a big road dog against Edmonton in Sunday's NHL action. While Buffalo is just 2-3 in their last 5, I really like what they are doing on the offensive side of the ice. Sabres are averaging 4.4 goals/game in this stretch. Oilers on the other hand are struggling to score, as they are averaging just 2.0 goals/game in their last 5. BET THE SABRES +150! 

20* RAPTORS/76ERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Raptors +3 -105

My money is on the Raptors cash in a win and cover as a small road dog against the 76ers Sunday. Toronto is going to be 100% locked in off back-to-back home losses to Miami and Houston. Raptors will also have fresh legs playing on a full 2 days of rest. That extra rest should pay off here, as the 76ers will be playing in the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and 3rd in the last 4 days. BET THE RAPTORS +3! 

20* CHARGERS/JAGUARS NFL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Chargers vs Jaguars under 43 -109

My money is on the UNDER 43 in Sunday's NFL action between the Chargers and Jaguars. I just think the total here is set too high with how these teams are struggling to score, especially Jacksonville, who has scored just 46 points in their last 4 games combined. UNDER is 8-1 in the Jags last 9 at home off a loss and 23-9 in the Charges last 32 after the first month of the season. TAKE THE UNDER 43! 

20* WILLIAM & MARY/FAIRFIELD CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on William & Mary -1½ -108

My money is on the Tribe to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road favorite against Fairfield. William & Mary is 6-3 to start the season and Fairfield is 2-6. Sure the Stags are off an upset win at Texas A&M, but that's a bad Texas A&M team and if anything it makes them primed for a letdown here. Fairfield is just 4-14 ATS last 18 as a home dog of 3-points or less. BET WILLIAM & MARY -1.5! 

20* PACERS/KNICKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pacers vs Knicks over 205½ -110

My money is on the OVER 205.5 in Saturday's NBA action between the Pacers and Knicks. Indiana comes in averaging 109.5 ppg and should be able to score at will here against a bad New York defense that is allowing 111.3 ppg and 47% shooting.I also think we could see a lackluster defensive effort from the Pacers, as they can't feel threatened by this Knicks team and it's the final game of a 5-game road trip. BET THE OVER 205.5! 

15* WILD/HURRICANES NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wild vs Hurricanes over 5½ -101

My money is on the OVER 5.5 in Saturday's NHL matchup between the Wild and Hurricanes. Minnesota has scored 22 goals in their last 5 games and have allowed at least 2 in 8 straight. I also think the defense could be lacking more than normal in their 3rd straight on the road. BET THE OVER 5.5! 

20* UAB/FAU CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UAB +9 -108

My money is on UAB to cash in a cover here against FAU. I liked the Blazers at this price even before the news that Owls head coach Lane Kiffin was leaving to take over at Ole Miss. I just think that's a gut punch to the FAU kids and takes away from this game. At the same time, no one wants to give this UAB team any love and I think they come out with a serious chip on their shoulder and could easily see them winning outright. BET THE BLAZERS +9! 

20* SENATORS/FLYERS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Flyers -190

My money is on the Flyers to cash in an easy win here at home against the Senators. This is a no-brainer if you ask me. Philadelphia has won 5 of 6, while Ottawa has lost 5 of 6. Senators are also an awful 5-12 on the road this season. BET THE FLYERS -190!

20* W VIRGINIA/ST. JOHN'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on West Virginia -3½ -110

My money is on the Mountaineers to cash in a win and cover at St. John's in Saturday's college hoops action. West Virginia is a perfect 7-0 to start the season and 3-0 away from home, where they are winning by 10.7 ppg. Red Storm are off to a solid 7-2 start to the season, but it's come against a pretty soft schedule. Their only game against a Power 6 opponent was a matchup with Arizona State on a neutral court and they lost by 13 as a mere 3.5-point dog. BET THE MOUNTAINEERS -3.5! 

20* PITT/LOUISVILLE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pittsburgh vs Louisville over 124½ -110

MY money is on the OVER 124.5 in Friday's college hoops action that has Pittsburgh visiting Louisville in ACC play. I get these are two strong defensive teams, but I just feel with how good the Cardinals are offensively this thing is going to fly by this total. Louisville is averaging 78.7 ppg and shooting 38.6% from behind the 3-point line. Look for them to let the 3-ball fly early and often against a Pitt defense that is allowing teams to shoot 38.7% from deep on the road. BET THE OVER 124.5! 

20* OREGON/UTAH CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Oregon vs Utah under 47 -110

My money is on the UNDER in Friday's Pac-12 Championship Game between Oregon and Utah. Not only do we have two of the best defensive teams in the country facing off, but the weather conditions are going to make it that much tougher for either offense to get anything going. Ducks allowed just 15.7 ppg on the season and a mere 17.0 ppg in conference play. Utah only allowed 11.2 ppg on the season and 11.8 ppg in Pac-12 play. Weather is calling for rain and double-digit mph wind. BET THE UNDER 47! 

20* WARRIORS/BULLS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Warriors +6½ -110

My money is on the Warriors to cash in a cover here as road dog against the Bulls. Chicago just can't be trusted to lay this big a number against any team. Golden State is expected to have one of their top scorers back in D'Angelo Russell. Warriors also had their way with the Bulls 104-90 at home earlier this season. BET GOLDEN STATE +6.5! 

20* COYOTES/PENGUINS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Coyotes vs Penguins over 5½ +106

My money is on the OVER 5.5 in Friday's NHL action between the Coyotes and Penguins. OVER has cashed in 4 of the last 6 games for Arizona and 6 of the last 9 games for Pittsburgh. Penguins have allowed 5 or more in 3 of their last 4 and Coyotes have scored 3 or more 5 of their last 7. BET THE OVER 5.5! 

20* N ILLINOIS/ST MARY'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on St. Mary's -13 -110

My money is on St. Mary's to cash in a win and cover at home against the Huskies. The Gaels enter this one on a roll as they have won 6 straight, which includes a couple of solid wins over Fresno St and Utah St. While Northern Illinois has also won 6 straight, it's come against a very soft schedule (favored in every game). This is their first game as a dog since losing by 18 as a 14.5-point dog at ISU back on Nov. 12 and I wouldn't be surprised at all if St. Mary's won by 20+. BET THE GAELS -13! 

20* COWBOYS/BEARS NFL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cowboys vs Bears over 42½ -110

My money is on the OVER 42.5 between Dallas and Chicago on Thursday Night Football. Cowboys have one of the best offenses in the league and I think they are going to surprise some people with how well they move the ball against what's perceived to be a great Bears defense. Note that Chicago's run defense has really fallen off since they lost defensive tackle Akiem Hicks and when Dallas can run it opens up everything for them. Mitch Trubisky has been a liability, but has played better of late and the Cowboys just seem to let inferior teams move the ball on them. BET THE OVER 42.5! 

20* SUNS/PELICANS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pelicans PK -110

My money is on the Pelicans to cash in a win and cover at home against the Suns. This is a big fade of the Suns, who are in a really tough scheduling spot. Phoenix was at Orlando last night, so this will be the second leg of a back-to-back road set. It's also their 3rd road game in the last 4 days. New Orleans is hungry for a win after losing their last 6 and I think they snap the skid in a big way tonight. BET THE PELICANS PK! 

20* RANGERS/BLUE JACKETS NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Rangers +133

My money is on the Rangers to cash in a win at home against the Blue Jackets. I just think this is too good a price to pass up with New York, as they come in having won 4 of 6, while Columbus has lost 4 of 6, including each of their last 2. Blue Jackets just can't get the offense going, as they have scored 2 or fewer goals in 4 of their last 5. BET THE RANGERS +133!
