15* SHARP PLAY on SE Missouri State vs Tenn-Martin under 143½ -110

The UNDER (143.5) is worth a look here in Tuesday's college hoops action out of the Ohio Valley between Tennessee Martin and SE Missouri State. UNDER has been a strong bet in Redhawks' games of late, cashing in 7 of their last 9. Not a big surprise given SE Missouri St doesn't score a ton at just 65.3 ppg in conference play. Tenn-Martin is even worse at 64.1 ppg in OVC action. Just not enough offensive fire-power for a total in the 140's. Play the UNDER 143.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma +5 -115

The Sooners (+5) are worth a look as a road dog against the Longhorns in Tuesday's Big 12 matchup. Oklahoma comes into this game rolling off 3 straight wins. The most recent being a convincing 75-68 win over Kansas at home. Texas was able to bounce back from their first loss in Big 12 play with a 82-67 win at home over Kansas State, but the injuries are starting to pile up for the Longhorns. Forwards Greg Brown, Brock Cunningham and Kai Jones are all questionable to play. Either way I like the Sooners to keep this close and wouldn't be surprised at all if they won outright. Play Oklahoma +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Virginia -6 -110

Virginia (-6) is worth a look at home against Syracuse in Monday's college hoops action. The Cavaliers have been absolutely rolling in ACC play. Virginia is a perfect 6-0 in conference action and while they only beat Georgia Tech by 2 on Saturday, that was the first time they won by fewer than 9 points inside the ACC. I actually think that close call will have them that much more locked in for this game against the Orange. Syracuse is coming off a couple of impressive wins over Miami and Virginia Tech, but both of those were at home. Also a much harder spot here for the Orange playing on the road with just 1 day of rest. Play the Cavaliers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago vs Bradley over 129 -110

The OVER (129) is worth a look in Sunday's Missouri Valley action on the college hardwood which has Bradley hosting Loyola-Chicago. While the UNDER has cashed in each of the Ramblers last 4 games, 2 of their last 3 have seen at least 129 points. Loyola-Chicago has also scored 72 or more in each of their last 3. Bradley is scoring 81.5 ppg at home this season and has seen the OVER cash in 4 of their last 5 and 8 of 11 overall. OVER is 18-9 in the Braves last 27 conference games and 13-4 in Loyola's last 17 on the road after a cover as a double-digit favorite. Play the OVER 129! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota -6 -108

The Gophers (-6) are worth a look as a home favorite against Maryland in Saturday's Big Ten action. Some might think this is a bad spot to back Minnesota coming off that big upset win at home over Michigan, but I see no letdown from the Gophers given they are just 4-4 in Big Ten play. Minnesota is a perfect 4-0 at home in Big Ten Play and have not lost at Williams Arena this season. Maryland is just 4-7 since starting the season 4-0 and are 2-6 in Big Ten play. Play the Gophers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Creighton -7 -108

Creighton (-7) is worth a look in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big East. The Bluejays are going to be extremely motivated to take the floor in this one as they come in having lost 2 straight after starting out 6-1 in Big East play. UConn is simply going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Huskies are a good team when healthy, but are without their best player in James Bouknight. UConn simply doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep pace in this one. Play Creighton -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Troy State vs Coastal Carolina under 138 -110

The UNDER (138) is worth a look in Friday's Sun Belt action that has Coastal Carolina hosting Troy. Both of these teams have been strong UNDER teams in conference play. The UNDER is 3-1 in Troy's 4 Sun Belt games and 4-1 in the Chanticleers 5 conference games. Both these teams are really stingy defensively, as Troy is giving up just 65.7 ppg and Coastal Carolina is allowing 67.3 ppg. Also worth noting that the Trojans offense has been dreadful on the road, as they are average just 56.8 ppg away from home. Play the UNDER 138! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara +3 -110

Santa Clara (+3) is worth a look here as a small home dog against the Dons in Thursday's West Coast action on the college hardwood. Tough spot here for San Francisco coming off a hard fought 63-72 loss at home to BYU and another big game on deck at home against St. Mary's on Saturday. Really easy for the Dons to not show up with their best effort here on the road against a talented Broncos team. San Francisco is 5-14 ATS last 19 on the road off a home game and 0-6 ATS last 6 off a conference home loss. Play Santa Clara +3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Samford +1½ -110

The Bulldogs (+1.5) are worth a look here as a small home dog against Chattanooga in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Southern Conference. Samford snapped their 4-game losing streak with a 82-78 win at home against Western Carolina and Look for them to stay hot against the Mocs, who come in having lost 4 of their last 6. It's important to note that Samford is playing their 4th straight at home and are 10-2 ATS last 3 seasons after playing their previous 2 games at home. Play the Bulldogs +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on St Bonaventure -2½ -110

St. Bonaventure (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against VCU in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Atlantic 10. The Bonnies are one of the best teams in the A-10 this year and simply put should be a bigger favorite in this spot. VCU is a solid team, but are getting a little too much love having won 8 of their last 9. They have failed to cover each of their last 3 games. Also, home favorites (Bonnies) that have won and covered 3 straight as a favorite of 7 or more and are playing a team that won their last game but failed to cover as a favorite are 30-8 (79%) ATS since 1997. Play St. Bonaventure -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State vs Miami-OH under 138 -110

The UNDER (138) is worth a look in Tuesday's MACtion on the college hardwood between Miami (OH) and Ball State. The RedHawks are a great UNDER team. They aren't very good offensively, can hold their own defensively and like to play at a slow pace (310th in adjusted tempo). Ball State is more a fast-paced team, but with this game on the road I look for Miami to be able to control the tempo in this one. UNDER is 27-12 in the RedHawks last 39 conference games, 33-13 in their last 46 as a dog and 11-2 when off a road loss. Play the UNDER 138! 

20* SHARP PLAY on USC vs Oregon State over 138 -105

The OVER (138) is worth a look in Tuesday's Pac-12 matchup between USC and Oregon State. The Trojans are clicking offensively right now. After putting up 95 points on Washington last Thursday, they hung 85 on Washington State Saturday. Expect more of the same against the Beavers. In Oregon State's last 3 games they have allowed 79, 98 and 81 points. No way this total should be less than 140 and I think they could easily push 150 here. Give me the OVER 138! 

20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield +2 -109

CS Bakersfield (+2) is worth a look here as a small dog against Hawaii in Saturday's rematch. These two teams played last night and the Roadrunners took home the win 60-55. That's now 4 straight wins for Bakersfield. Rainbow Warriors couldn't get anything going offensively last night and I don't expect it to be any better in the second go around. If anything I think the Roadrunners win even easier in the rematch. Play CS Bakersfield +2! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii -1½ -110

The Rainbow Warriors (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against CS-Bakersfield in Friday's late night action on the college hardwood. Hawaii has only played 4 games and while the first two were cupcakes, they did show well in their two games at UC-Riverside. They won the first matchup 88-83 as a 6-point dog and while they lost the rematch they covered as a 5-point dog in a 68-70 loss. Big home court edge for Hawaii and I fully expect them to take this one. Play the Rainbow Warriors -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield vs Hawaii under 135½ -109

The UNDER (135.5) is worth a look in Friday's late night Big West action between Hawaii and CS-Bakersfield. Hawaii comes in averaging 82 ppg, but that's a misleading number given their first two games against far inferior opponents. They will find it much harder to score here against CS-Bakersfield, who is allowing just 61.1 ppg. At the same time, I don't see the Roadrunners putting up a big number on the road here against a decent Hawaii defense. Play the UNDER 135.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-FL -2 -105

The Hurricanes (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against Boston College in Tuesday's ACC action on the college hardwood. Miami comes in at 5-5, but injuries really hurt them early on. The Hurricanes have been playing much better of late, despite a 1-3 record in their last 4 games. The 3 losses in this stretch were a 2-point setback at Va Tech, a 1-point loss at home to Clemson and a 2-point loss at home to UNC. They snapped the losing streak on Saturday with a 64-59 upset win at NC State. Look for Miami to stay hot against a BC team that just can't figure out how to win games. The Eagles are just 2-9 and 0-5 in ACC play. Play the Hurricanes -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin vs Michigan over 135 -105

The OVER (135) is worth a look in Tuesday's Big Ten showdown between Wisconsin and Michigan. While these are two of the better defensive teams in the Big Ten, they are also two of the best offensive teams. Both come in ranked in the top 5 of the conference in both offensive efficiency and effective FG%. OVER is a perfect 6-0 in Wisconsin's last 6 games vs elite level teams like Michigan who are shooting 45% or better from the field while also holding opponents to 42% or worse. Play the OVER 135! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Utah +3½ -110

The Utes (+3.5) are worth a look as small home dog against the Buffaloes. The books are begging you to take Colorado here. Utah comes in having lost 3 straight and are just 1-3 in Pac-12 play. Thing is two of those losses came on the road to UCLA and USC. The other was a mere 6-point home loss to Oregon. Utah is going to be the much more motivated team here at home in desperate need of a win, while the Buffs could be in for a bit of a letdown off their big win over the Ducks. Play Utah +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nebraska +7 -108

Nebraska (+7) is worth a look here as a near double-digit home dog against the Hoosiers. It's been a rough go for the Cornhuskers in Big Ten play. Nebraska is winless in conference play at 0-4, but they did just cover at home against Michigan State and while they didn't cover in losses at Wisconsin and at home against Michigan, they were right there in both games. They lost by 14 as a 13.5-point dog at Wisconsin and by just 11 at home to Michigan as a 7.5-point dog. This is also a tough spot for Indiana playing their second straight on the road and playing on just two days of rest after that grueling double-overtime loss at Wisconsin. Play Nebraska +7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-OH -7 -108

The RedHawks (-7) should have no problem covering as a decently priced home favorite against Northern Illinois in Saturday's college hoops action out of the MAC. Big get right game for Miami (OH) coming off back-to-back losses and the Huskies are just the team for them to get right against. Northern Illinois is a mere 1-8 on the season and that lone win came against an awful Chicago State team that is ranked No. 356 in KenPom. Play the RedHawks -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Richmond -5 -108

The Spiders (-5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against George Mason in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the A-10. Richmond has yet to string together back-to-back wins in conference play and you can bet that's going to be on their minds, as they look to build off Wednesday's big win at home over Rhode Island. The Patriots are just not on the same level as the Spiders and I really think they will struggle to even make a game of it. Richmond can play their "C" game and still beat George Mason by 6 or more. Play the Spiders -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rutgers -2½ -108

Rutgers (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against Ohio State in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big Ten. This is just too good a price to pass up with the Scarlet Knights at home. Even more so when you factor in how motivated Rutgers is going to be for this game coming off back-to-back losses dropping them to just 3-3 in Big Ten play after they started out 3-1. Ohio State is better than expected, but are just 2-3 in conference play with a 0-3 mark on the road. Buckeyes just aren't built to win away from home in this league, especially against a top tier team like the Scarlet Knights. Play Rutgers -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Rice vs UTEP over 140½ -105

The OVER (140.5) is worth a look in Friday's C-USA matchup between Rice and UTEP. This is a really low total with the way these two teams can light up the scoreboard. Rice is averaging 82.3 ppg and while UTEP is scoring 75.5 ppg on the season, they are putting up 87.7 ppg at home. We just need both teams to hit 70 and this thing is going to cash. Play the OVER 140.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Florida Atlantic vs Old Dominion over 139 -105

The OVER (139) is worth a look in Friday's C-USA matchup between Old Dominion and Florida Atlantic. This is a really low total for a game involving the Owls, who come in averaging a healthy 84.9 ppg. While not quite as potent, the Monarchs average a solid 71.0 ppg and that jumps up to 76.3 ppg at home. Last year when these two teams met up at ODU, the two combined for 165 points with both teams hitting 80 points. Play the OVER 139! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland +5 -110

Maryland (+5) is worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against Iowa in Thursday's Big Ten matchup. As good as the Hawkeyes have been, winning on the road in this conference is no easy task. It's not an ideal spot for Iowa coming off a huge road win against a ranked Rutgers team. Hawkeyes could also be without starter Connor McCaffery. While McCaffery doesn't score a lot, he does all the dirty work and is by far the Hawks best post passer. Look for the Terps to give Iowa all they can handle in this one. Play Maryland +5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Missouri vs Mississippi State over 134½ -110

The OVER (134.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's college hoops matchup between SEC foes Missouri and Mississippi State. While the Bulldogs like to play slow, the Tigers want to push the pace and I expect Missouri to be able to dictate the tempo here with Mississippi State likely a bit fatigued off their double-overtime game against Kentucky on Saturday. Expect a bit more of a shootout than we normally would see from these two teams. Play the OVER 134.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Connecticut vs Marquette under 139 -110

The UNDER (139) is worth a look in Tuesday's Big East showdown that has Connecticut visiting Marquette. This is just too big a number with what figures to be a very slow and methodical pace. The Huskies come in ranked 310th in adjusted tempo and in their two Big East games so far have held a lethal Creighton team to 66 in regulation and limited DePaul to 61. I don't see either team getting to 70 in this one. Play the UNDER 139! 

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia PK -110

The Mountaineers (PK) are worth a look here as a pick'em on the road against Oklahoma State. West Virginia is one of the best teams in the country. They are 8-3 with their 3 losses coming against Gonzaga, Kansas and Oklahoma. The most recent was against the Sooners. They just dug themselves too big a hole early, falling behind 38-20 at the half. They rallied but just didn't have enough in the tank, losing 71-75. Expect a much better start in this game. Also, bit of a letdown spot for Oklahoma State coming off a huge upset win on the road in OT against Texas Tech. Play West Virginia PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on St. Peter's -5½ -105

St. Peter's (-5.5) is worth a look in Friday's MAAC matchup at Canisius. The Peacocks are hands down the better team in this one and winning by 6 here won't be a problem. The Golden Griffins are just 1-3 on the season and have lost 3 straight. The two most recent being a 18 point and 28 point loss to Monmouth, who is rated worse than the Peacocks at KenPom. Play St. Peter's -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on San Diego +14 -105

The Toreros (+14) are worth a look here as a double-digit dog against San Francisco. San Diego comes into this game at 1-3, while the Dons are 6-4. I just feel it has SF laying a few more than they should be against a conference foe. Not to mention the Dons are in a massive lookahead spot with a trip to No. 1 Gonzaga on deck Saturday. Play San Diego +14! 

20* SHARP PLAY on George Mason vs Massachusetts over 150½ -105

The OVER (150.5) is worth a look here in Wednesday's hoops action between UMass and George Mason. It's not secret that the Minutemen want to play an up-tempo game and we have seen it in their 4 games so far this season. All 4 games have seen a combined score of at least 151 points. George Mason will be the best team they have played so far. I got both teams easily hitting 75 points in this one. Play the OVER 150.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Butler +6 -115

Butler (+6) is worth a look in Wednesday's college hoops action. These two teams played last Wednesday at Butler and the Bulldogs won that matchup 70-64. I'm not saying Butler will pull of the sweep and win this one too, but I just can't pass up on the 6-points with the Bulldogs in this one. There's a chance Butler could be even stronger for the rematch, as Aaron Thompson, one of their best players, is questionable to return after missing the last 3 games. Play the Bulldogs +6! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer -2 -111

Mercer (-2) is worth a look as a slim home favorite against Wofford in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Bears have been impressive early on. Mercer is 7-1 with their only loss coming by single digits on the road to a good Georgia State team. Wofford has lost 3 of their last 4 and have just one win vs a D-I opponent and that was against a sub-par Coastal Carolina team. Play Mercer -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota +1½ -110

The Gophers (+1.5) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Spartans. I get Michigan State is 0-2 and are desperate for a win, but they are 0-2 for a reason and it's extremely tough to win on the road in the Big Ten, especially when you play as little defense as what the Spartans have played so far in conference action. Minnesota just pulled off a big home upset against an elite Iowa team and I think they ride that momentum to a win here. Play Minnesota +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Northern Iowa -8 -108

Northern Iowa (-8) is worth a look in Sunday's Missouri Valley action that has the Panthers hosting Missouri State. UNI has gotten off to a disappointing 1-4 start, but a big reason for that is their schedule was brutal to start the year. All 4 losses have come against teams who could be playing in the NCAA Tournament in WKU, St. Mary's, Utah St and Richmond. They were competitive in all 4 losses. The Bears are 3-0, but have played nobody and are really outclassed in this one. A motivated and desperate UNI team should have no problem here winning by double-digits. Play the Panthers -8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cleveland State -1 -108

Cleveland State (-1) is worth a look here as basically a pick'em at home against Youngstown State. The Vikings got off to a slow start, as they lost their first 3 games, but those were against two quality MAC teams in Toledo and Ohio and a much better Ohio State, who they took to the wire in a mere 6-point loss. They have since won back-to-back games over Fort Wayne and they stay hot here against the Penguins. Play Cleveland State -1! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin -1½ -110

The Badgers (-1.5) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Spartans. I just think the line here says it all. Even after getting blown out at Northwestern in their Big Ten opener, the betting public is going to be all over Michigan State as a home dog. I'll gladly take the other side and take my chances with a very good Wisconsin team that is built to win on the road in Big Ten play. Play the Badgers -1.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on South Florida -2½ -108

USF (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Shockers. This is just not the same Wichita State team as the previous years and I just feel they are still getting a little too much respect from the books. I like what I've seen out of this Bulls team. South Florida has won 4 straight and just beat Cincinnati on the road in their last game. This is just too good a price to pass up. Play the Bulls -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State -5 -108

Ball State (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Western Michigan. I believe we are getting the Cardinals at a discount here due to them coming off a 10-point loss at Indiana State. This is just not a very good Broncos team this season. They did win their conference opener against Central Michigan, but they are way down. That's their only win against a D-I opponent. Look for Ball State to make easy work here. Play the Cardinals -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on William & Mary vs Virginia under 123½ -110

The UNDER (123.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's college hoops matchup between Virginia and William & Mary. Low-scoring games is the way of life for this Virginia team and this year is no different. The Cavaliers come into this game ranked 5th in adjusted defensive efficiency and 357th in adjusted tempo. William & Mary ranks 288th in tempo, so this game will be played at a snail's pace. Play the UNDER 123.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +5½ -115

The Leathernecks (+5.5) are worth a look here as a slim dog against Tennessee Martin. Western Illinois is 1-4, but have played a really tough schedule. As for the Skyhawks, they are 3-0 but have played one of the easiest schedules. They could also be 1-2, as they needed double-overtime to win at home against Evansville and snuck out a 2-point win over SE Missouri State. I'm not so sure this line shouldn't be closer to a pick'em. Play Western Illinois +5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma State +8½ -110

Oklahoma State (+8.5) is worth a look in Sunday's Big 12 matchup at Texas. I just think this is a few too many points for the Longhorns to be laying in this one. Oklahoma State had started out 6-0 before losing at home to TCU. Sure the loss looks bad, as it was a game they were expected to win, but they did lose by just 1-point. They got the offensive fire-power to hang with Texas and even win this game outright. Play Oklahoma State +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Gonzaga vs Iowa over 170½ -120

The OVER (170.5) is worth a look in Saturday's highly anticipated showdown between Iowa and Gonzaga. You don't see many totals in the 170s in college basketball, but I still don't think it's enough. These are the two best offensive teams in the country. They can both score inside and outside and aren't exactly the best defensive teams. We have seen Kansas score 90 on Gonzaga and Iowa is mediocre at best defensively. Don't overthink this one. Play the OVER 170.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Chicago State vs Northern Illinois over 137½ -110

The OVER (137.5) is worth a look in Friday's college hoops action between Northern Illinois and Chicago State. I just feel the books have really missed the mark here. Chicago State is one of, if not, the worst defensive team in the country. The fewest points they have allowed in any game is 74 and that was against North Carolina A&T. They gave up 84 or more in 5 of 7. Huskies aren't great defensively either. IN their last 3 games they have allowed 89 to Pitt, 79 to Ball State and 106 to Iowa. Play the OVER 137.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Drake -5 -114

Drake (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against South Dakota in Friday's college hoops action. This one is easy for me. These two teams already played once this season and the Bulldogs defeated the Coyotes by 16 points. They held South Dakota to a season-low 53 points. I just feel we are seeing the Coyotes getting a little bit a love here off a big upset of in-state rival South Dakota State. That was a nice win, but it also had both teams playing their 3rd game in 3 days and anything can happen in rivalry games. Play Drake -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on San Francisco +8 -113

San Francisco (+8) is worth a look here as a near double-digit dog on the road against Oregon. The Pac-12 has not looked great early on this season and while Oregon comes in 4-1, I don't think this is an elite team by any means. The Dons are more than capable of going into Oregon and giving the Ducks all they can handle. San Francisco has already secured a win over Virginia and beat a decent Nevada team by 25. They also just barely lost to Cal in their last game 70-72. Play San Francisco +8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -6½ -108

Marshall (-6.5) is worth a look as a short home favorite against Toledo. The books just keep underestimating this Thundering Herd team. Marshall is 4-0 SU and have gone 3-0-1. Last time out they were a mere 3-point home favorite against a good Ohio team and won by 14. Now they face another top tier MAC team in Toledo and I just don't see a much different result. Marshall is lighting it up offensively and are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 after scoring 80 or more and 11-2 ATS last 13 off a in by 10 more. Play the Herd -6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on San Diego -5 -108

San Diego (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Col Poly. This is just feels like a great time to buy low on the Toreros. This is a talented team, but come in 0-2 after opening the season with games at UCLA and home vs Nevada. Cal Poly is 2-2, but one of those wins was a cupcake non-DI opponent and the other was against a bad San Jose State team. I look for the Toreros to win and win easy. Play San Diego -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia State -4½ -108

You really just need to look at the line to know that Georgia State (-4.5) is the play in this one. These two teams played at Mercer back on Nov. 30. A game the Bears won 86-69. Mercer also comes in a perfect 6-0 SU on the season. All of that and yet the Bears are a dog in the rematch. It's for good reason. This Georgia State team is every bit as talented as Mercer and now they have the home court edge. Panthers get their revenge and we get our cover. Play Georgia State -4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Furman +6 -105

Furman (+6) is worth a look as they visit Alabama in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Paladins have 4 starters back from a 25-win team and are the clear-cut favorites to win the Southern Conference. They are 5-1 to start this season with their only loss coming by a mere 5-points at Cincinnati. Note they only lost by 5 to the Bearcats, despite Cincinnati going off and shooting 56% from the field. Alabama just hasn't looked as good as what people were expecting. They just don't have the shooting they did a year ago. At least they aren't making shots at the same rate. Crimson Tide are only shooting 40% from the field and 29% from deep. If they shoot like that in this game they will lose. Play Furman +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago +9½ -115

Loyola-Chicago (+9.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's game at Wisconsin. This might seem like a small number for the No. 12 ranked team to be laying at home against an unranked opponent, but the Ramblers are no joke. They return all 5 starters from a team that won 21-games last year. These two teams also play at ridiculously slow tempo, which makes the 9.5 a lot more valuable than it might seem. I expect Loyola Chicago to make a game of it. Play the Ramblers +9.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Clemson PK -110

Clemson (PK) is worth a look as they get ready to open up ACC play on the road against Virginia Tech. The Tigers have been better than expected early on. Clemson has started out 5-0 with wins over Mississippi State, Purdue, Maryland and Alabama. Three of those by double-digits and the other by 8. Virginia Tech had that big win over Villanova early, but have come back to reality a bit. They just lost at home by 20-points to a Penn State team that isn't nearly as talented as what Clemson is. Play the Tigers PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland -1½ -110

Maryland (-1.5) is worth a look as a small home favorite against Rutgers in Monday's Big Ten opener. This line is begging you to take the Scarlet Knights. You have a ranked team in Rutgers as a dog against an unranked team in Maryland. Not to mention the Scarlet Knights are coming in off an impressive 79-69 win over Syracuse and the Terps fresh off an ugly 14-point loss to Clemson. I'm confident Maryland bounces back here. Rutgers only won 2 true road games all of last season and this is their first true road game of this year. Play Maryland -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -3 -110

The Thundering Herd (-3) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against Ohio. Marshall returns all 5 starters from last year and are a perfect 3-0 to start the new season, including an impressive 16-point win over a quality Wright State team. Ohio is a decent team and are 4-1 with their only loss by 2 to Illinois, but too much value here to pass up with the Thundering Herd. Play Marshall -3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Wright State +3 -110

Wright State (+3) is worth a look here as a small road dog against Bowling Green. Big time system in play favoring the Raiders. Road teams with a line of +3 to -3 who are coming off a blowout win by 20 or more against an opponents that has scored 75 or more in 3 straight games are 42-15 (74%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Play Wright State +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Valparaiso -2½ -110

The Crusaders (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Chippewas in Saturday's college hoops action. Valpo got off to a slow start with three straight losses to start the season, but it came against a tough schedule that included two power 5 opponents. They have responded with back-to-back wins and I look for them to make easy work against a pretty bad Central Michigan team. Chippewas only win on the season against Western Illinois, who is ranked No. 345 at KenPom and they only won that game by a mere 6-points. Play Valparaiso -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rider +3 -108

The Broncs (+3) are worth a look as a small road dog against Manhattan. Great buy low spot on Rider in this one, as they have had quite a challenging schedule to start out the year playing on the road against both Syracuse and St. John's. They only lost by 3 against the Red Storm. As for Manhattan, I have them rated lower and the Jaspers are at a disadvantage having not played a game yet. Play Rider +3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Appalachian State +5 -108

The Mountaineers (+5) are worth a look as they visit Charlotte on Friday night. These two teams played last year and Appalachian State won by 9 at home. This is an even stronger Mountaineers squad in 2020. On the flip side, I think the 49ers are down a notch or two from last season. Winning on the road is also a lot easier with all the limitations on fans. All things considered, I think App State should be favored here. Play the Mountaineers +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Riverside -7 -120

UC Riverside (-7) is worth a look here at this price. The Highlanders should have no problem winning by double-digits on the road against Northern Arizona. The Lumberjacks have only played one game and were absolutely destroyed by Arizona 96-53. UC Riverside lost to a quality Pacific team in their opener, but fired right back with a 15 point upset win against Washington and cruised to a 20-point victory over Denver in their last game, who I would say is pretty equal in terms of talent to Northern Arizona. Play the Highlanders -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -5½ -108

The Thundering Herd (-5.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against Charleston. Marshall is a team that got better and better as last season progressed and return all 5 starters. Charleston on the other hand returns just 1 starter from a team that only won 17 games and was a mere 4th in the Colonial Athletic. I really think Marshall should be laying at least double-digits in this one. Play the Herd -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Evansville +4½ -107

The Purple Aces (+4.5) are worth a look as a home dog against Eastern Illinois. Evansville has gotten off to a rough start, losing each of their first 3 games, but could easily be 2-1 with a 3-point loss in one defeat and a 2OT setback in another. Eastern Illinois is just 2-3 and while they have played some quality teams tough, their only wins are against Chicago St and Green Bay (2OT). Too much value to pass up with the home team in this one. Play Evansville +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on TCU -2½ -108

TCU (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Friars. I think this line reflects a lot of what these two teams were a year ago and not what they are this season. Providence lost two of their best players and have not looked great early on with blowout losses to both Indiana and Alabama. TCU on the other hand is much improved and it's shown early as they are 4-1 with their only loss by 4-points to a top tier Oklahoma team. Play TCU -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Duke -4 -105

The Blue Devils (-4) are worth a look as they host Illinois. This might seem like a big number with how hyped this Fighting Illini team was coming into this season, but we just saw Illinois come up way short in a big showdown with Baylor, losing 82-69. Duke might not be as loaded as they have been, but there's no denying they still have a ton of talent. Play the Blue Devils -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Penn State +6 -115

The Nittany Lions (+6) are worth a look as a pretty decent sized underdog against the Hokies. Virginia Tech is 4-0 and have that big overtime win over No. 3 Villanova, but I don't think they should be laying this many points against an equally talented Penn State team. Nittany Lions only loss came in OT to a good Seton Hall team. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Penn State won this game outright. Play the Nittany Lions +6. 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kent State +1½ -110

The Golden Flashes (+1.5) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em against Detroit. The Titans are getting a lot of love for playing a couple close games against Michigan State (76-83) and Notre Dame (70-78), but I just think that was more of those teams not really giving Detroit their full attention. You can say the same thing about Kent State, who in their last game only lost by 7 as a 18.5-point dog to Virginia. I just feel in terms of talent the Golden Flashes are the better team and should not be a dog here. Play Kent State +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Middle Tennessee PK -110

The Blue Raiders (PK) are worth a look at a pick'em on their home floor against Chattanooga. Middle Tennessee lost their first two, but got back on track in their last game with a 78-61 win over Murray State, which was their toughest test to date. The Mocs are 3-0, but have not played a team inside the Top 200 of the KenPom rankings. Blue Raiders should be a much bigger favorite here. Play Middle Tennessee PK! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma -2½ -108

The Sooners (-2.5) are worth a look here as a slim road favorite against TCU. I think Oklahoma is flying a bit under the radar. Sooners were better than anyone expected last year and returned a lot from that team. They didn't play their first game of this season until this past Thursday and they destroyed UTSA 105-66. TCU is 4-0, but haven't played anyone. Play Oklahoma -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +9½ -108

The Leathernecks of Western Illinois are worth a look as a big home dog (+9.5) to Central Michigan. There's just no way the Chippewas should be laying this kind of number, as they are sitting at 0-3 themselves. Leathernecks only loss was to Iowa and while it was ugly, they just had no answer for Luka Garza (41 points). Central Michigan doesn't have anyone close to Garza's ability. It will be much easier on both sides of the ball for the Leathernecks. Play Western Illinois +9.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bradley PK -110

Bradley is worth a look as a pick'em on their home floor against South Dakota State. The Braves are one of the top teams in a top heavy Missouri Valley Conference and are off to a strong 3-1 start with their only setback being a 1-point loss on the road against Xavier. South Dakota State comes in off a big win over a Big 12 team in ISU, but are playing their second road game in 3 days. Jackrabbits haven't played a home game yet and this will be their 5th game since opening the season last Wednesday. Play Bradley PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Marquette +4 -109

Our biggest bet on the college hardwood Friday is on Marquette +4 at home against Wisconsin. I don't know that the Golden Eagles should be this big a dog on their home floor. Marquette let a lot of backers down in their last game as a small favorite against Oklahoma State. They came up short in a 8-point loss and more than anything they just didn't shoot the ball well. Wisconsin is 3-0 but have played absolutely nobody with their 3 wins against E Illinois, Arkansas Pine Bluff and Green Bay. Also big revenge spot for Marquette after losing by 16 at Wisconsin a year ago. Play the Golden Eagles +4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Connecticut vs USC over 142 -110

The OVER (142) is worth a shot in Thursday's big non-conference clash between USC and Connecticut. The Trojans are a much stronger offensive team this year, thanks to the play of talented freshman Evan Mobley. They have scored at least 76 in all 3 of their games and I expect them to dictate the tempo against the Huskies. UConn can definitely score with them and we should have no problem eclipsing the number here. Play the OVER 142! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Washington +8 -110

The Huskies (+8) are worth a shot as they take on Utah in Pac-12 play on Thursday. No one is going to want anything to do with Washington after watching them get absolutely destroyed by Baylor 86-52 and then lose 57-42 in their next game to UC Riverside. Utah hasn't played a game yet and I just don't think there's a whole lot that separates these two teams. Definitely not enough that the Utes are a near double-digit favorite. Play the Huskies +8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Baylor -3 -112

I got a ton of love for this Illinois team. They are one of the best teams in the Big Ten, but I just think the Bears are on a whole different level. I think they are out to prove to everyone that they should be the No. 1 team. Baylor was just that last year and brought almost everyone back. Play the Bears -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia +9½ -110

The Mountaineers (+9.5) are worth a look as a near double-digit dog against Gonzaga. Now is the perfect spot to sell high on the Bulldogs. Everyone wants to back Gonzaga being they are the No. 1 team and have won and covered each of their first two games rather easily. This is a tough matchup for the Bulldogs against a talented, deep and experienced West Virginia team. Play the Mountaineers +9.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kansas -3½ -112

Kentucky is playing a ton of freshmen and I think that's a much harder task than it has been in the past with how limited practices were in the offseason. In time the Wildcats will be a quality team, but I expect a lot of struggles early and we just saw them lose at home to Richmond. While the Spiders are a good team, that's not a team you expect Kentucky to lose to. Kansas showed me a lot against Gonzaga. Play the Jayhawks! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Michigan State +4 -113

The Spartans are worth a look as a small dog (+4) against the Blue Devils. It's not often Michigan State isn't one of the Big Ten teams that are getting all kinds of love coming into a season. I think that makes Tom Izzo's team a dangerous opponent. I know they lost Winston, but there's plenty of talent on board and this looks like a much deeper team than they had a year ago. Duke has some freshmen studs as usual, but I have to give the edge to the Spartans in this one. Play Michigan State +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Seton Hall -20 -110

The Pirates should have no problem covering the number (-20) as they host Iona. The Gaels are simply getting too much respect because of Rick Pitino being the head coach. Won't shock me if Pitino turns around that program, but this is not the year to make massive improvements. Iona is outclassed and on top of that Seton Hall is going to be extremely motivated having lost their opener 70-71 at Louisville. Play the Pirates -20! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer +4 -110

The Bears (+4) are worth a look as they host Georgia State on Monday. Both teams have started 2-0 and both have a common opponent in Georgia Tech. The Panthers beat the Yellow Jackets 123-120 in a 4OT thriller, while Mercer beat them 83-73. I just think this line should be closer to a pick'em. Play the Bears +4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Oakland vs Michigan under 149 -110

The UNDER (149) is worth a look here in Sunday's college basketball action that has Michigan hosting Oakland. The Wolverines played a shootout in their first game, beating Bowling Green 96-82. Look for a much lower scoring game against Oakland, who has averaged just 54.0 ppg on 28% shooting in their first 3 games. Play the UNDER 149! 

20* SHARP PLAY on South Alabama -5 -108

South Alabama (-5) is worth a look as a small favorite on the college hardwood against Jacksonville State. The Jaguars are 2-0 and have really shot the ball well out of the gate. SA is averaging 81.5 ppg on 51.8% shooting from the field and 50.0% shooting from deep. Look for the Jags offense to carry them to an easy win at home on Sunday. Play South Alabama -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on SE Missouri State +8½ -110

The Redhawks (+8.5) are worth a look here in their season opener against UM Kansas City. The Roos have put up a ton of points in their first two games, beating two inferior teams 105-35 and 138-97, respectively. I just think it has them a bit overvalued here. I not only think SE Missouri State can keep it within the number, but I give them a legit shot at winning this game outright. Play SE Missouri State +8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Colorado -6 -108

The Buffaloes (-6) are worth a look here as a slim favorite against the Wildcats. This K-State team is expected to remain in the basement of the Big 12 and they didn't do much to change anyone's mind with a 10-point loss at home to Drake in their opener. Colorado on the other hand won and covered as a 17-point favorite against South Dakota. Look for the Buffs to win here by double-digits rather easily. Play Colorado -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara -7 -108

The Broncos (-7) are worth a look as they take on UC-Davis. Santa Clara defeated Idaho State 62-49 in their opener and covered in that one as a 11.5-point favorite. The Aggies lost 93-101 as a 3-point favorite to Nicholls State. Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points who are off a cover as a double-digit favorite and playing a team that lost as a favorite are 37-13 (74%) ATS last 5 seasons. Play Santa Clara -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on UCLA -6½ -110

UCLA (-6.5) is worth a look as they will be extremely motivated to not start 0-2 after getting embarrassed in their opener by San Diego State 73-58 as a 3-point favorite. I wasn't all that surprised with that result. The Aztecs are no joke. I still really like this UCLA team and I see them having no problem winning by double-digits against Pepperdine. Play the Bruins -6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Nevada +3½ -109

Nevada (+3.5) is worth a look here as a dog against the Cornhuskers. I just think we are getting a good price with the Wolf Pack due to Nebraska coming off a convincing 102-55 win over McNeese. This is a Cornhuskers team that lost a lot from last year and doesn't figure to be a serious contender in the Big Ten. Steve Alford's squad has a great shot at winning outright. Play Nevada +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Gonzaga -4 -115

No. 1 ranked Gonzaga (-4) is definitely worth a look as slim favorite against No. 6 ranked Kansas. I just feel like the Jayhawks are getting way too much respect coming into the year. Chances are Bill Self will end up molding this team into one of the better teams in the country, but they have to replace two studs in point guard Devon Dotson and big man Udoka Azubuike. I know Gonzaga also lost some guys, but they got more proven pieces coming back. I look for the Bulldogs to win this one rather easily. Play Gonzaga -4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Liberty +11 -110

Liberty (+11) is worth a look here as a double-digit dog against the Boilermakers. It's just the Flames football team you have to watch out for. Liberty's hoops team went 30-4 last year. While they lose 3 starters, they got talent coming back and we know this team will show up on the defensive end. Purdue is in a bit of a transition year and I think they could struggle out of the gate without a go-to guy on the offensive side of the ball. Play Liberty +11! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Memphis -5½ -112

Memphis (-5.5) is worth a look here against St. Mary's in Wednesday's college basketball opener for both teams. I like what Penny Hardaway is doing with this team. Who knows how good the Tigers would have been had James Wiseman not got hurt. Memphis still went on to win 21 games. They return 4 starters and 7 guys who played 13 min/game, plus add in a 5* freshman center in Moussa Cisse. St Mary's is coming off a great season, but they lost 3 of 5 starters. I just don't see the Gaels keeping pace in this one. Play Memphis -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Drake +7½ -110

Drake (+7.5) is worth a look here as a decently priced dog against what I think is a bad Kansas State team. The Wildcats were the worst team in the Big 12 a season ago and it doesn't look like this season will be any better. Drake had one of their better players, but they got plenty coming back and I really like their coach. Darian DeVries has been with the team two seasons and guided them to back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time since the early 70's. Play the Bulldogs +7.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Abilene Christian +1½ -110

We will gladly back Abilene Christian at basically a pick'em here against East Tennessee State. The Wildcats return 4 starters from a 20 win team. The Bucs went 30-4 last year, but lost all 5 starters from that team. East Tenn State is way overvalued coming into this season. Play Abilene Christian +1.5! 

15* FAU/OLD DOMINION CBB SHARP WINNER on Florida Atlantic vs Old Dominion under 132 -105

My money is on the UNDER 132 in Wednesday's matchup between FAU and Old Dominion in the first round of the C-USA Tournament. UNDER is 8-2 in the Owls last 10 with a line of +3 to -3 and 9-2 in their last 11 off a loss by 10 or more. UNDER is 9-1 last 10 for the Monarchs in neutral site games, including 6-0 in their last 6 as a neutral court favorite. BET THE UNDER! 

20* IDAHO ST/N ARIZONA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Idaho State vs Northern Arizona under 144 -110

My money is on the UNDER 144 in Wednesday's first round action out of the Big Sky Tournament that has Idaho State taking on Northern Arizona. Easy play on the UNDER in this one. UNDER is a perfect 11-0 in the Bengals last 11 road games if they have played their last 3 games on the road. UNDER is also 25-6 in Northern Arizona's last 31 on a neutral court. BET THE UNDER 144! 

20* N CAROLINA/VA TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on North Carolina -2½ -105

My money is on the Tar Heels to cash in a win and cover as a slim 2.5-point favorite against the Hokies. This is just too good a price to pass up on UNC. While the Tar Heels are off a loss to rival Duke, they had won their previous 3 games and have to feel after two close calls with the Blue Devils that they can win this thing and that's the only way they are getting into the big dance. Hokies started out the season strong, but really struggled down the stretch. BET THE TAR HEELS -2.5! 

20* C MICHIGAN/OHIO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ohio -5½ -105

My money is on the Bobcats to cash in a win and cover as a 5.5-point home favorite in Monday's 1st round action out of the MAC Tournament. Easy play here on Ohio. Central Michigan won their regular-season finale against fellow bottom feeder Western Michigan, but had lost 9 straight prior to that victory. Bobcats opened up just 2-7 in MAC play, but closed out the year 6-3 over their final 9 conference games. BET OHIO -5.5! 

20* PEPPERDINE/ST. MARY'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pepperdine +7 -108

My money is on the Waves to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against St. Mary's in Saturday's third round action out of the WCC Tournament. Pepperdine knocked off Santa Clara 84-73 as a 2.5-point favorite last night, improving to 10-2 ATS over the last 3 seasons on a neutral court. Waves are also 7-1 ATS this season on the road against a team with a winning record. BET PEPPERDINE +7!

20* KANSAS/TEXAS TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Kansas vs Texas Tech over 132½ -110

My money is on the OVER 132.5 in Saturday's college hoops action that has the Red Raiders hosting the Jayhawks. Texas Tech is a team people think about as a great defensive team, but this year they have been really good offensively. These are the top two teams in the Big 12 in offensive efficiency. BET THE OVER 132.5! 

20* YALE/DARTMOUTH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Dartmouth +7 -108

My money is on Dartmouth to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against Yale in Friday's college hoops action. The Big Green are rolling right now. Dartmouth has won 5 of their last 6 games and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5. Yale has won 4 straight, but are constantly overpriced, going 1-4 ATS last 5 games. BET THE BIG GREEN +7! 

20* CAL POLY/LONG BEACH ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cal Poly +5½ -108

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point road dog at Long Beach State in Thursday's college hoops action. This might seem like a favorable price for Long Beach against a Cal Poly team that is 7-21 on the season. Thing is Long Beach is 1-6 ATS last 7 vs a team with a losing record and 0-5 ATS last 5 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. BET THE MUSTANGS +5.5! 

15* WASHINGTON/ARIZONA ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Washington +6 -108

My money is on the Huskies to cash in a cover here as a 6-point road dog against Arizona State in Thursday's college hoops action. It's been a rough for Washington here of late, but this is the biggest dog we have seen them priced at since they were a 5.5-point dog against Baylor in the first game of the season. ASU has lost their last two and while they figure to win, I like the Huskies to keep it close. BET WASHINGTON +6!
