Baylor vs Oklahoma

9:00 PM EST, February 18, 2020
10-Star Best Bet on the Oklahoma Sooners

Here is where the Baylor Bears run into trouble against a Sooners team in need of a resume building win. First of all Baylor is 0-12 ATS coming off a double-digit home win and had fewer than 10 points from the charity stripe in games played since 2007.

The Sooners boast three of the league's top 11 scorers and an 11-1 record at home this season. They are coming off a disappointing 87-70 loss at third-ranked Kansas over the weekend, but we all saw how good Kansas is playing right now in their extremely easy win over Iowa State last night. The Sooners gave Baylor all it could handle in the first meeting on Jan. 20 before settling for a 61-57 loss in Waco. 

The Sooners Kristian Doolittle is averaging15.5 points and a team-high 9.1 rebounds and has produced three of his seven 20-point efforts over the last three games after going off for 27 versus the Jayhawks and was named the Big 12 Player of the Week for the third time this season on Monday. Brady Manek is averaging a team-high 15.6 points and 6.3 rebounds entered Saturday as the top 3-point shooter in the Big 12. Austin Reaves is averaging 14.1 points and 5.0 rebounds and has been unable to reach his season scoring average and/or make 40 percent of his field-goal attempts in six of his last eight games, which is a stretch that began with a 3-for-17, eight-point effort at Baylor last month. The Sooners are ready and have the talent to get the upset win.

From the predictive side of things, the Sooners are 30-6 SU and 22-10 ATS when they made 77% or more of their free throw while the opponent made less than 70%, and with the Sooners making at least 35% of the 3-point shots, including 5-0 ATS as a home dog.

Further, they have covered the spread in just two of their last 12 games and have a current streak of three consecutive ATS losses. This is a text book contrarian play in which there will be at least three times more bets on the Warriors as compared to the Bulldogs – yet the Bulldogs are the slight favorite.

NCAAM 7-Star Best Bet Titan on the Nittany Lions

Now, the Penn State Nittany Lions are getting their respect from the pollsters coming in as the No. 9 team in the country. They will be on full alert tonight not to have a letdown after their huge run of late. Coach Chambers has done a miraculous job keeping his team in the present-minded and not getting ahead of themselves and focused on bettering themselves each week.

The program that once struggled to fill the lower bowl of Bryce Jordan Center for home games is now selling out the 15,261-seat building. Linebacker U. might not be Ball Reversal U. just yet, but Happy Valley is learning the joys of making the extra pass and rotating perfectly on defense.

"We're trying to do something special, something that Penn State hasn't seen before," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. "We've been talking about moments since the beginning of the season, and here's another moment for us."

They have won 20 games and are the fastest to win 20 games in school history. An experienced core of seniors in Lamar Stevens and Mike Watkins, mixed with fundamentally sound role players like Myreon Jones and Jamari Wheeler, has helped Penn State play consistently well on both ends of the court.

The requirements are to pay on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that have a win percentage of 80% and higher and have covered the spread by at least 48 points in their ;last seven games and facing an opponent with a winning record. If this game is taking place after the 15th game of the regular season the record zooms to 22-5 ATS for 82% winning bets.

From the predictive side of things, the Lions are 23-8-1 ATS for 74% winning bets when they have had the better, more efficient, assist-to-turnover ratio and made at least 28 field goals in games played since 2006; 13-3 ATS and 17-2 SU winning the games by an average of 21 points over the last three seasons; 8-1 ATS for 89% this season.

NCAAM 7-Star Best Bet Titan on the Jayhawks

Kansas is getting into full gear and looking to chase down the Baylor Bears, who they play this Saturday. First things first, though, and Kansas is not a team that is going to get caught looking ahead to this revenge showdown. The line is heavy chalk, but for good reasons. So far the public is on Iowa State as the line may look extremely high for this conference matchup.

Kansas throttled the Oklahoma Sooners 87-70 and covered the spread as 11-point home chalk. Kansas is 22-5 ATS for 83% winning bets when playing their third game in a week since 2006.

Seton Hall vs Providence
8:00 PM EST
NCAAM 7-Star Best bet on the Providence Friars

This is an upset alert type of game, but given the skinny line there is no real advantage to use the money line. So., simply play a 7-Star amount on the Providence Friars getting 1.5-points. I am currently seeing pick-em at the Bookmaker sportsbook and I do believe the line could move to pick-em by game-time. The line that your book has will be close to the lines I a seeing across the board. They are all the same and rarely do you see a 1.5 difference between the major Vegas books and the offshore ones.

The Pirates are 2-12 ATS after allowing 80 points or more over the last three seasons; 1-8 ATS after playing a game where both teams score 80 points or more over the last three seasons. Pirates head coach Willard is just 4-15 ATS after playing a game where both teams score 80 points or more.

From the predictive side of things, Providence is 31-7-1 ATS in home games when they have shot 43% or better from the field, had fewer turnovers than the opponent, and had fewer than 12 turnovers; 6-1 as a home dog!

NCAA Basketball 10-Star on the Princeton Tigers

The Jadwin Gymnasium in Princeton, NJ will be packed and rocking tonight to support the Tigers in their quest to upset the Yale Bulldogs and take over the first place in the Ivy League. The Bulldogs and Tigers are tied for first with 5-1 straight-up records (SU) and one of them will leave the gym in first place.

The top-4 teams in the Ancient-Eight Conference make it the Tournament and the loser will remain one of the four teams to play in Philadelphia. Good news for the Harvard Crimson, who were the trendy pick in the preseason to win the League and get the auto-bid to the Tournament.

Since 2006, the Bulldogs hold a 16-12 SU edge and have earned a 14-12-2 against-the-spread (ATS) record. The ‘UNDER’ has a modest edge sporting a 15-13 record. The Tigers have lost four straight games to the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs most recently defeated the Tigers 83-77 in last season’s Ivy League Tournament on Saturday, March 16, in new Haven Connecticut. The Tigers did manage to cover the spread as 10.5-point underdogs.

The Tigers have faced games with quadruple revenge and are 7-3 SU, 6-4 ATS, and the ‘UNDER’ has earned a solid 7-2 mark in these games. Seven of theses games were at home and the Tigers are 6-1 SU winning the game by an average of 8 points, 5-2 ATS covering the spread by an average of 6.8 points and the ‘UNDER’ is 4-2.

From the predictive side of things, the ‘Machine’ projects that Princeton will make at least 72% of their free throws and score at least 70 points in this game and when they have done so in past games they have achieved a remarkable 77-16 SU record and 50-22-2 ATS mark for 68% winning bets since 2006; 34-6 SU and 27-11-2 ATS in conference games; 4-4 SU, but 7-1 ATS and 7-1 ‘OVER’ as a conference underdog.

7-Star Best Bet Titan on the Oklahoma Sooners

Senior Oklahoma Sooner forward Kristian Doolittle broke out of a recent slump with 27 points including 12 rebounds in Saturday's 69-59 big win over No. 14 West Virginia. The Sooners will not overlook Iowa State tonight given that a huge showdown for them is scheduled Saturday against the Kansas Jayhawks. The momentum gained with the win over the Mountaineers will carry them through this matchup and I expect the Sooners to play extraordinarily well.

Junior forward Brady Manek was the only other Sooner to score in double figures Saturday, finishing with 11 points to leave his team-leading average at 15.8. Doolittle comes next at 14.7 per contest and leads the squad in rebounding at 9.1 - 10.7 over his last six games.

Furman vs Samford
7:30 PM EST, February 12, 2012
NCAAM 7-Star Basketball Best Bet on the Samford.

First, my plays are released throughout the day and there will be more releases forthcoming in the NCAA and NBA hardwood, and NHL.

Furman is tied for first-place with the East Tennessee State Buccaneers in the Southern Conference while Samford has struggled this season to a 2-10 SU conference record and 8-18 SU overall season record. This is the time of th season where we can get excellent pricing for the ‘ugly dog’ playing the elite conference-leading or contending teams.

The line has dropped from an opening price of Furman favored by 12-points to 11.5 despite seeing 61% of the best made going on Furman. This is a sign that there has been some ‘smart money’ going on the Bulldogs.

This situational betting query has earned a solid 36-16 ATS record good for 78% winners since 2006. The requirements of the query are to bet on home underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games and is a struggling team that has won 20 to 40% of their games on the season and is now facing a team with a winning record.  The SU record is just 3-50 so do not expect the shocking upset in this one. Do expect a much closer game than is expected.

Detroit vs Orlando

The requirements are to bet on home favorites between 3.5 and 9.5 points that have failed to cover the spread in three of their last four games and are now facing an opponent after having covered the spread in four of their last five games.

Chicago vs Philadelphia
6:00 PM EST, February 8, 2012
NCAAM 7-Star Basketball Best Bet on the Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers showed the NBA world that they can be an elite and dominating team with their pasting of the Memphis Grizzlies Friday on back-to-back nights. Now they face a team that has struggled this year and knowing they are playing the top home team in the NBA, who has had just two losses on the season.

From the predictive side of things, the following precedents match the projections for this game. The 76ers are a solid 42-25 ATS in games in which they made 48 to 51% of their shot attempts and 36-14 ATS when they have forced 13 to 17 turnovers in game splayed over the last three season. When they have met both performance measures they have earned a 46-18-1 ATS record including 32-12-1 ATS as a home favorite and 10-1 ATS as a home favorite of seven or more points.

Niagara vs Rider
2:00 PM EST, February 9, 2020

7-Star Best bet Titan on the Rider Broncs

From the predictive side of things, Rider is projected to shoot between 48 and 52% from the field and have at least 10 more rebounds than Niagara. In past games, in which the Broncs met or exceeded these performance measures they have earned an outstanding 12-3 against-the-spread (ATS) mark for 80% winning bets. The Broncs are 38-4 SU and 25-11 ATS in home games in which they sot between 48 and 52% from the field.

Spurs are just 11-28 ATS when they have nade between 32 and 36.5% of their three-point shot attempts in games played over the last three seasons; 8-19 ATS when they have allowed 114 or more points in game splayed this season.

Gonzaga vs St. Mary’s 

10:00 PM EST, February 8, 2020

NCAAM 7-Star Upset Alert Titan on the St. Mary’s Gaels

This is a huge game, needless to say. The Upset alert is almost always a combination wager comprised of 80% of your 7-Star amount bet on the line and 20% bet on the money line, which for this matchup is priced at +200.  Making these plays consistently over the course of the seasons does add a significant amount to the return-on-investment (ROI)

Gonzaga has been a scoring machine and have played in a weak conference. However, the Gaels do have the defense to control the tempo and keep Gonzaga well under wraps. The Bulldogs are an imperfect 0-6 ATS after scoring 80 or more points in five consecutive games this season. 

The Gaels are a solid 22-9-1 ATS after two consecutive games with nine or fewer offensive rebounds over the last two seasons. Bulldogs head coach Few is 4-13 ATS in road games after scoring 80 points or more in five consecutive games. 

From the predictive side fo things, the Gaels are an incredible 40-3 SU and 28-7-1 ATS for 80% winning bets since 2007 when the have made 80% or more of their free throw shots, made 10 or more three-point shots. 

Vermont vs Harford
7:00 PM EST, February 8, 2020
10-Star Best bet on the Hartford Hawks in American East Conference action.

Here is a situational betting system that has earned an outstanding 56-14 ATS record for 80% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to be on an underdog of 10 to 20 points that has gone ‘UNDER’ the total by 24 or mor epoints in total over their last three games and is now facing an opponent after going ‘UNDER’ the total by at least 35 points in total spanning their last five games.

 The Hawks have been a resilient team under head coach Gallagher and are 15-5 ATS after one or more consecutive losses over the last two seasons.  Gallagher is also 30-13 ATS when facing good ball handling teams committing 14 or fewer turnovers-per-game.

 From the predictive side of things, the projections call for the Hawks to shoot at least 42% form the field, make at least nine 3-point shots, and make more 3-point shots than Vermont.

 A win by the Hawks puts them right in the thick of things for the AEC conference Championship. To earn the win will require them to pay extraordinarily well, but I do expect the final score to be 5 or fewer points.

Eastern Kentucky vs SIU-Edwardsville
4:30 PM EST, February 8, 2020
7-Star Best bet on SIU-Edwardsville

 Let us start with a situational betting system that ahs hit 67% ATS winners over the last 20 seasons.

From the predictive side of things, UVA is a solid 15-6 ATS when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game over the last two seasons; 20-9 ATS in road games when they attempt 13 or less free throws in a game over the last three seasons; 18-3 ATS in road games when they have had the better, more efficient, assists-to-turnover ratio in road games since 2017.

NBA 7- Star Best Bet Titan on the Phoenix Suns

The Rockets are coming off a huge upset win over the Los Angeles Lakers and now playing on back-to-back nights on the road. Supporting this bet is a terrific betting system that has earned a 57-24-2 ATS record over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on a struggling team that has won between 25 and 40% of their games and is facing a formidable opponent that has won 60 to 675% of their games on the season and is playing their third game in four days.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks

8:00 PM EST, February 6, 2020
NBA 7-Star Upset Alert on the 76ers.

I recommend a combination wager on this game with 85% of a normal bet size on a 7-Star being made using the line and then the remaining 15% placed on the money line. Over the course of a season this type of wager has contributed significantly to the total profits made for the season. This is a valid game even if the 76ers are two players short on the bench tonight due to the trades.

The trade made by the 76ers is a Grade A+ that will pay big dividends down the stretch and has the potential to get the 76ers to the Eastern Conference Finals. The missing piece has been a few sharp shooters from beyond the arc that an opposing defense must respect. Now, they have two more to add to the player rotation.

This situational betting system has earned a solid 95-50 ASTS record good for 66% winners since 1995 and instructs us to play on road underdogs coming off an embarassing 20point or more loss and is now facing an opponent that is coming off two consecutive games in which 215 or more points were scored in each game.

From the machine learning prognosticating tools the 76ers are an awesome 52-5-2 ATS for 91% winning bets when they have shot at least 47% from the field, had the better, more efficient, assists-to-turnover ratio, and made at least 78% of their free throws.

Central Florida vs East Carolina
7:00 PM EST, Wednesday, February 6, 2020
7-Star Best bet Titan on Central Florida

ECU is on a two-game skid losing 76-64 at Temple in their previous game. The CFU Knights have lost three consecutive games after scoring a season-low in a 64-48 horror show against local rival South Florida University. The Knights couldn’t hit sand if they fell off a camel form beyond the arc going 2-for-22. They have lived and died by the ‘three’ going 5-1 straight-up (SU) and 5-1 against-the-spread (ATS) when they have made eight or more 3-point shots and just 6-9 SU and 4-10 ATS in games they made less than eight this season.

ECU head coach Dooley is a solid Dooley is 13-2 ATS in home games after a game giving up five or fewer offensive rebounds in all games he has coached. One of the keys to any win is limiting an opponent to a minimum number of second-chance scoring opportunities. I believe you will see this from the Pirates tonight and that will be a m,ain reason they can win this game.

Froj the predictive side of things (the machine .earning tools), defensive rebounding will a key factor. ECU is 11-1 ATS when they have gotten between 40 and 44 rebounds in games played over the last two seasons. Since 2015, ECU is 16-0 SU and 12-2 ATS when getting 40 or more rebounds.

William & Mary vs Charleston
7:00 PM EST, Thursday, February 6, 2020
NCAA Basketball 7- Star Upset Alert on William & Mary Tribe. I recommend making a combination bet consisting of 80% of your average bet size on the line and 20% on the money line,

With six games remaining on the regular season, the William & Mary Tribe, the Charleston Cougars, and Hofstra Pride are tied for the Colonial Athletic Association lead. Only one team will get the invite to the Dance by winning the Association Championship, but whoever that team is will have earned it. This is a conference that I enjoy following because the games are highly competitive and many exciting moments at the end of the games – especially when you have money bet on the game.

So, this is a huge game for both teams and those that are in the chase. Five of the 10 teams in the CAA are within 1.5-games of the conference lead.

Head Coach Dane Fischer has built a balanced team on both sides of the ball. They rank 158th of the 353 Division-1 basketball programs in the country in scoring offense averaging 72 points-per-game and 163rd in scoring defense allowing 68.7 points-per-game. Their defense has stepped up in conference games where they rank 4th-best allowing 68.6 points-per-game. The offense ranks 7th scoring an average of 70.3 points-per-game.

The Tribe are coming off a 4-game home stand in which they went 2-2 straight-up (SU) and 1-3 against-the-spread and have lost three consecutive games to the spread. They played their worst game of the season losing 83-60 to the Hofstra Pride as 2-point home favorites and shot a miserable 37% from the field. I completely expect the Tribe to get off the mat and play on eof their best games of the season tonight.

Senior forward Nathan Knight is the Tribe. He is an awesome player that has NBA talent. He is averaging team-highs in scoring averaging a double-double with 20.3 points-per-game and 10.6 rebounds-per-game. When he exceeds these averages the Tribe win games and when he does not, they will be more likely to lose games. However, more players are stepping up for the Tribe and another reason the Tribe can win this game. Senior forward Andy Van Vliet is contributing an increasing amount over the last several games and averages 13.7 points-per-game and 8.6 rebounds-per-game. Look for sophomore Thorton Scott, who averages a team-high 4.5 assists-per-game, to have a big game tonight.

The following team trends match the projections from the machine learning tools for the outcome of the game.  Tribe is 13-5 ATS when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in games played this season; 17-6 ATS when their opponents make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last three seasons; 22-11 ATS when they make 79% or more of their free throws in a game over the last three seasons.

Denver vs Utah

10:05 PM EST, Wednesday, February 5, 2020

7-Star Best Bet Titan on the Utah Jazz

The trades that involved the Nuggets will have negative effect on the team given the lack of depth coming off of their bench. This is not the only reason for the bet, of ocurse.

The Jazz are 23-10 ATS in home games facing foul drawing teams attempting 24 or fewer free throws-per-game over the last two seasons.

This situational query supports the bet on the Jazz and has earned a solid 47-17-1 ATS record over the last five sesons and requires us to be on favorites of 3 to 10 points that have a winning record on the season and is playing another winning record team that has beaten the spread by at least 24 points in their last three games.

From the predictive side things, the Jazz are 98-25-4 ATS for 79% when scoring 115 or more points in a home game since 1995. 31-6-1 ATS for 84% over the last three seasons.

No. 17 Iowa vs Purdue
7:00 PM EST, February 5, 2020

7-Star Best Bet on the Purdue Boilermakers

The Hawkeyes have won six of their last seven games, including a 72-65 victory over 21st-ranked Illinois on Sunday, to move into a second-place tie in the Big Ten conference standings. Purdue is need of a win as they are tied in 8th place with four other teams in the 14-member Big Ten Conference. The good news is that as many as 11 Big Ten teams could get invites to the NCAAM Tournament. A win over a ranked team would give Purdue another signature win for their Tournament resume.

Boilermaker head coach Fran McCaffery told reports “I think this is one that we kind of needed to have…. I think we just have to build off this and make sure we improve every single day in practice.”  So, that implies that he is communicating this to his team and emphasizing the need to execute each possession at a high level and only one possession at a time.

Purdue is 18-5 in the month of February since 2016 and that trend will continue again this February.

From the predictive side and hat the machine learning tools are projecting is the fact that Purdue is 29-2 SU and 22-8-1 ATS in home conference games in which they shot 46% or better from the field and had 10 to 1`4 turnovers.

Maine vs Vermont
7:00 PM EST, Wednesday, February 5, 2020
7-Star Best bet Titan on Maine

The Maine Black Bears will travel to take the Vermont Catamounts in an American East conference matchup. The Catamounts are 17-6 SU and 7-1 SU in conference games putting them in first place with a one-game lead over both the Hartford Hawks and the Stoneybrook Seawolves. The Bears are tied for last in the coferfence standings with a 6-16 SU overall record and a 2-6 SU conference mark. Sol there is disparity between the tow teams basketball abilities, but not enough to warrant a 20+ point spread.

Supporting this bet is a situational query that has earned a 63-35-1 ATS mark good for 64% winning bets since 2015. The requirement are to play on a road underdog of at least 12.5 points and in game that features a low total of not higher than 126 points.

Maine is a terrific 7-2 ATS as an underdog of 12.5 or more points and a game total line of not higher than 130 points.

Clemson vs Virginia

7:00 PM ESR, February 5, 2020

7-Star Titan on the Virginia Cavaliers

Here are a few quick hitters supporting UVA.

Clemson is 5-15 ATS when facing a defensive team that is forcing opponents to commit an average of 14 or fewer turnovers-per-game in games played over the last two seasons. UVA is 14-4 ATS coming off a home win over a conference rival spanning the last three seasons.  Bennett is 44-25 ATS off a home win against a conference rival as the coach of UVA.

From the predictive side of things, UVA is 76-16-1 ATS for 83% when making at least 40% of their three-point shot attempts and allowing less than 60 points.

Missouri vs Texas A&M

9:00 PM EST, February 4, 2020
7-Star Best Bet Titan on the Missouri Tigers

Here is a situational betting system that has earned an outstanding 54-22-2 ATS record good for 71% winning bets over the last 5 seasons. The requirements are to be on any team after the 15th game of the season that is a game with a betting line within three points of pick-em and in a game involving two teams that average at least 20 three-point shot attempts per game and with the one team shooting under 40% overall in three consecutive games.

 Aggies have not done well when facing sa team that loves to launch 3-pointers like the Tigers. In fact, they are 0-8 ATS when facing a team that has struggled overall from the field shooting 42% or lower on the season.

 From the predictive side of things, the Tigers are 18-6 ATS when they have held their opponent to 34 to 39.9% shooting in games played over the last three seasons; 7-1 ATS when they have allowed 60 or fewer points in a game this season.

Milwaukee Bucks vs New Orleans Pelicans
7:35 PM EST, February 4, 2020

10-Star Best Bet on the Milwaukee Bucks

This situational NBA betting query has earned a consistent 171-96-5 ATS record good for 65% winners since 1995.

Play on road favorites of 3 to 10 points that have a win percentage of 64% and higher after game number 16, is outscoring their opponents by an average of at least 3 points-per-game and have scored 104 or more points in 3 consecutive games, and have less than two days rest from their previous game.

If the game number is after the 41st game or in other words being played in the second-half of the regular season the record jumps to 107-53-5 ATS for 67% winning bets since 1995.

 From the predictive side of things and what the machine learning tools are projecting the Bucks are 19-5 ATS for 79% winning bets as a road favorite and when they have shot over 50% from the field and hit between 37 and 42% of their 3-point shot attempts.

Ohio State vs Michigan
7:00 PM EST, February 4, 2020
7-Star Best Bet on the Ohio State Buckeyes

Here are a few quick hitters that reinforce the grading produced by the machine learning tools.

OSU is 9-1 ATS after allowing 60 or fewer points this season; 7-0 ATS after allowing 60 or fewer points in back-to-back games; 6-0 SATS after allowing 65 or fewer points in three consecutive games this season.

From the predictive side of the game, OSU is 28-6 ATS for 82.4% winning bets when they have scored 75 or more points, made at least 11 3-point shots, and shot 40% from beyond the arc in games played since 2007.

The Volunteers are a polar opposite of the Crimson Tide. They rank 298th in the country in scoring offense averaging 66.5 points-per-game but rank 19th in scoring defense allowing 61.2 points-per-game on the season. They rank 45th in the nation overall based on my power ratings.

Despite scoring a below-average number of points-per-game, the Volunteers have five players averaging double-digits. This balanced attack is going to be a big problem for the Crimson Tide’s porous defense. Senior guard Jordan Bowden is averaging a team-high 12.6 points-per-game, junior forward John Fulkerson is averaging 11.6 points-per-game, senior guard Lamonte Turner is averaging 12.3 points-per-game and a team-high 7.1 assists-per-game, junior guard Yves Pons is averaging 11.1 points-per-game. And freshman guard Santiago Vescovi is averaging 10.3 points-per-game.

The Volunteers will control the pace of the game with their defense and not allow the Crimson Tide to make the game a run-and-gun shootout.

San Francisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs

6:30 PM EST, Sunday, February 2, 2020

NFL 10-Star Best Bet on the San Francisco 49ers
7-Star 'UNDER'
49ers win by 13,14,15 points 16:1 at 5 Dimes

I will not  waste your time with superfluous narrative. The 49ers will win by 13 or more points and this is based first on the machine learning projections and then my own fundamental research and indepth matchup analyses. On paper the 49ers are the best team on both sides of the ball. I hear a few of you moaning and wish you could debate this with over a few craft beers. 

The Chiefs linebackers Anthony Hitchens and Damien Wilson are not getting it done this season. I never intend or would want to put down any athlete at any level of the game played, but they are one of the worst duos in the NFL this season by many measures. Wilson is a former Cowboy, who has been torched this season as a Chief and allowed a 115 passer rating, which was the eighth worst mark in the NFL for linebackers with at least 200 snaps play this season. 

Hitchens got a big contract via free-agency by the Chiefs, but he steadily became a target by opponents whenever possible. He si very vulnerable and exposed in this game whenever he will lineup on the perimeter to cover aany of the 49ers running backs in man coverage. 

When the Chiefs bring in their third linebacker in Reggie Ragland it is almost always to help stop the run. However, teams have used play action pass so that the trio of Chief linebaqckers do not get the depth  necessary to cover the the middle of the field. This will be something to watch in the game for sure and expect Dee Dee Samuel to be targeted in these prime situations for the 48ers. 

George Kittle will be a nightmare in any coverage situation the Chiefs decide to use. The main reason is that the Chiefs lost their starting safety Juan Thornhill, who tore his left ACL in the final game of the regular season. His absence is going to make it even tougher for the Chiefs to adjust to what the 49ers bring to the huddle and pre-snap. The Chiefs faced the 21 personnel on 102 snaps and used five and six defensive backs in 48 of those snaps. The 49ers opponents used four defensive backs on 77% of the 21 personnel plays run by the 49ers and many of those defenses simply stayed in their base defense,. 

The bottom line is that this will put Kittle in optimal high-percentage man-coverage situations. This is one of the reasons I like the risk of taking Kittle as the MVP of this Super Bowl even though there has never been a tight end that has won the MVP – not even Gronk. 

The 49ers have run the most basic of plays and the ones I still remember repeating 50-timres in High Svhool practices. The basic trap play was used on third-and-long situations (less than eight yards) and ran to perfection. Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine should have recognized this since he ran these exact elementary plays to several State Championships at Central Bucks West High School, a Philadelphia suburb. 

The 49ers do a great job in getting offensive leverage on a defense by moving either Kittle or FB Kyle Juszczvk in motion or moving one of them and then the other seconds prior to the snap. This allows Jimmy G to see where the weakness will be in the defense and is similar to what the Patriots have used with their tight ends for two decades. 

The Mesh offensive scheme has been around for about the last 10 seasons in both College and NFL playbooks and I expect to see the 49ers use to exploit the middle of the field and put even more pressure on the Chiefs linebackers. The all curl scheme looks to exploit a defender in a 2-on-1 advantage whereas the mesh scheme focuses on the middle of the field and two shallow crossing routes that generally have a 3-on-2 advantage for the offense. The scheme also includes a vertical route with a WR in a favorable matchup or for the running back, who will be covered by a slower linebacker. Jimmy G will assign the big play route prior to the snap after seeing the defensive alignment. This is where I believe the 49ers will have big play opportunities or a result that keeps the chains moving checking down to the crossing routes.   

The 49ers have the best front four in the game with all four linemen capable of sacking the quarterback. They recorded 57 sacks with Dee Ford, Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and DeForest Buckner all having at least 7.5 sacks this season. Teams in the Super Bowl, who recorded 55 or more sacks in the regular season and the playoffs are 6-1 ATS in the Super Bowl and the ‘UNDER’ is 5-2. 

Prop Bets

Koepka Birdies vs Kittle Receptions

A fun prop bet is for Kittle to have more receptions than PGA Tour Golfer Brooks Koepka has birdies. The Phoenix Open is taking place with the Fenway-like Stadium surrounding the par-3 17th hole. The course is going to play tougher than in previous years and it will be more difficult to go low. The key point is birdies, which does not include Eagles, Double Eagles, or Holes-in-one. There are a few Eagle holes on the course so that would then make it even harder to make six or more birdies.

St. Johns Points vs Kittle Reception Yards

Another one I like here is I think Kittle will go over 100 receiving yards in a losing or winning cause and we are getting paid well to assume this risk with Kittle +3.5 underdog and +105 juice.

Travis Kelce and his MVP Bid

There are 20 prop bets on Travis Kelce at the 5Dimes sportsbook. If you like the Chiefs then Kelce will be a big part of the game plan against an extremely strong and lightning-fast 49ers defensive unit. If the 49ers are successful at containment on Chiefs quarterback Mahomes, then Kelce will be the relief valve receiver and has the potential for a huge game.

I do not normally like laying -170 wood on any prop bet but in this game, the odds are high that Kelce will exceed the 5.5 receptions line. Betting ‘OVER’ 76.5 receiving yards paying only -105 juice is a no-brainer and is better risk-reward than the ‘OVER’ 5.5 receptions. It would be hard to imagine a game in which Kelce had more than 77 receiving yards and five or fewer catches.

I like Kelce to score a TD in the first half and receiving +280 NFL Super Bowl odds in return.

Then the fun props taking Kelce at -2.5 and -145 juice to have more receiving yards than Duston Johnson’s score in the final round at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

The MVP Bets

George Kittle is ranked as the 4th most-likely MVP recipient at +900 at 5Dimes. Travis Kelce is ranked 9th most-likely MVP recipient at +1900. The last MVP bet I will make is on 49ers rookie defensive lineman Nick Bosa, who is 7th most-likely to win the MVP at +1850.

Chicago vs Toronto
3:00 PM EST, Sunday, February 2, 2020
Toronto, Ontario

7-Star Titan on the Raptors

Let us face facts. Toronto is a monumentally better team than the Bulls. Raptors rank 13th in scoring offense averaging 12.3 PPG as compared to the Bulls, who rank 26th and average 106 PPG. In scoring defense the Raptors rank 4th allowing 106 PPG while the Bulls rank 12th allowing 108.3 PPG. Raptors rank 10th with an assist-to-turnover ratoio of 1.765 as compared tot eh Bulls, who rank 24th with a 1.513 assist-to-turnover ratio. The Bulls are a terrible rebounding team ranking 30th and averaging 50.1 boards-per-game.

Bulls are just 10-23 ATS when competing against up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots-per-game - 2nd half of the season over the last two seasons; 12-25 ATS when going up against a solid offensive team averaging at least 106 points-per-game and with the game occurring in the second half of the regular season.

From the predictive side of things and provided by the machine learning work horse, the Bulls will score between 100 and 105 points. The Bulls are 8-16-2 ATS when they have scored between 100 and 105 points in games played over the last two seasons. The Raptors are 18-5 ATS when they have allowed an opponent to score between 100 and 105 points over the last two seasons.

Utah vs UCLA

3:00 PM EST, February, 2, 2020

7-Star NCAAM Best Bet on the UCLA Bruins

Coach Mick Cronin’s first UCLA team appears to be gelling at an opportune time, winning three of its last four games to climb in the Pac-12 standings. The Bruins will try to continue that surge Sunday afternoon when they host Utah in this PAC-12 matchup.

UCLA’s most-recent win was its most impressive of the season, building a 39-27 halftime lead at home and never trailing thereafter in beating No. 21 Colorado 72-68 on Thursday night. Junior guard Chris Smith scored a career-high 30 points as the Bruins finished 25-of-29 at the free-throw line and outrebounded what was the conference’s top team on the glass by a 39-29 margin.

Utah is 0-7 ATS after a loss of 6 or fewer points in games played over the last three seasons. UCLA is a near-perfect 8-1 ATS in home games off a win against a conference rival over the last 3 seasons.

Columbus vs Montreal

2:30 PM EST, February 2, 2020

7-Star Best Bet on the Montreal Canadiens

Here is a situational betting system that has earned an outstanding 24-8 record over the last 20 seasons. Bet on Home teams against the money line revenging a road loss versus opponent by 2 goals or more, off 2 consecutive wins by 2 goals or more against division rivals.

This si a trap type of game for the Crimson Tide. Razorbacks head coach Musselman is 17-6 ATS off a loss against a conference rival in all games he has coached. He is also 22-9 ATS after one or more consecutive losses in all games he has coached.

From the predictive side of things, the Razorbacks are 8-2 ATS when they commit three to seven fewer turnovers than their opponent does in games played this season and 6-0 ATS when they have scored 75 or more points along with the 3 to 7 fewer turnovers.

Presbyterian vs Hampton
4:00 PM EST, February 1, 2020
10-Star Bet ‘UNDER’ the posted total

 This is an important game in the Big South Conference with the Hampton Pirates sitting at 4-3 and in third place and the Presbyterian Blue Hose at 5-4 in the Big South Conference Standings. The Winthrop Eagles are a perfect 9-0 and atop the conference standings so this is a must win game for both teams and with comes a greater defensive tone.

 The Blue Hose are looking to end a three-game conference losing streak while the Pirates are coming off a tough 83-79 road loss to the Radford Highlanders, but did cover the spread as 8-point underdogs.

 The Pirates are led by two players that are averaging more than 20 points-per-game. It is rare on any of the 353 Division-1 NCAAM programs in the country to have two players averaging more than 20 a game. Guard Jermaine Marrow is averaging 24.7 PPG and a team-high 36.6 minutes per game and Forward Benjamin Stanley is averaging 22.10 PPG including a team-high 7.5 rebounds-per-game. So, when you have two dominant players in an extremely unbalanced offense scoring consistency suffers.

The following situational betting system has earned a 22-5 ‘UNDER’ record good for 82% winning bets over the last 15 seasons. The requirements for the bet are to play ‘UNDER’  in a game with a total between 150 and 160 points and with one of the teams on a three-game ATS win streak and the that team has a win percentage between 39 and 49% and is playing a team that has won 40% or fewer of their games on the season.

 From the predictive side of things, both teams are projected to score a comined total of 36 or fewer points from 3-point range. The Pirates are 9-3 ‘UNDER’ and 12-4 ‘UNDER’ when they have played in games that met this performance measure.

Second-ranked Gonzaga aims to register its 15th consecutive victory when it visits San Francisco on Saturday in West Coast Conference play. The Bulldogs have won a record 35 straight WCC regular-season games after notching an 87-72 road win over Santa Clara on Thursday night.

Gonzaga is expected to be without Killian Tilli, sprained his left ankle in the win over Santa Clara. He has missed six games this season due to knee and ankle injuries. When he has he has four 20-point performances over his last seven games. The Dons have won five of last six games, including Thursday's 69-44 rout of host San Diego. This is the best position they have been in to challenge the Gaels and playing at home makes all the more intense for them.

Junior guard Charles Minlend averages a team-high 15 points-per-game and scored 21 points and season-highs of 10 rebounds and four blocked shots in the win over San Diego. Prior to this game he was struggling averaging 7.5 points on 7-of-24 shooting over the previous two games. Minlend has been the most consistent player for the Dons and in my view is the team leader. He has scored 15 or more points in 14 games this season and the showing against the San Diego marked his third time he has reached 20 or more points this season.

Here is a situational betting system that ahs earned a terrific 35-10 ATS record good for 79% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on underdgos of 10 or more points, who are coming off a game in which they allowed 33% or less shooting and are now facing an opponent that has been scorching hot from beyond the arc making at least 47% in three consecutive games.

I suggest playing this dog as combination wager using 80% of your bet on the line and 20% on the money line.

ePaul vs Marquette
2:00 PM EST, Saturday, February 1, 2020

NCAAM 7-Star Titan on the Marquette Golden Eagles

Given the size of today’s card these reports are bit more brief. Let is start with a supporting betting system that has earned an outstanding 69-33-1 ATS mark good for 68% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on a home favorite between 3.5 and 9.5 points that is off a win over a conference foe as an underdog and with both teasm in the matchup sporting win percentages between 60 and 80% on the season.

From the predictive side of things, Marquette is 18-9 ATS when they have scored 77 or more points and more than 45% of the points came from beyond the arc. DePaul is 3-13 ATS when they have allowed 77 or more points and 45% or more fo them came from beyond the arc.

The following situational betting system has earned a 102-51-5 against-the-spread record good for 67% winning bets over the last 20 seasons. The requirements for the bet to be valid is to play on an away favorite of 3 to 10 points in the second-half of the season that have a win percentage of at least 65%, that is out scoring their opponents by at least 3 points-per-game and have scored at least 104 points in three consecutive games, with no more than one day of rest between this game and their previous game.

A few buzzer beater team trends point out that the Pistons are an imperfect 0-7 ATS when facing teams forcing opponents into an average of at least 16 turnovers-per-game; 5-17 ATS facing solid teams that are outscoring their opponents by an average of at least 6 points-per-game in games played over the last two seasons. Pistons are a miserable 14-29 ATS after failing to cover four of their last five against the spread in games played over the last three seasons.

acramento Kings vs LA Clippers
 PM EST, January 29, 2020
7-Star Bet on the Sacramento Kings

The following situational betting system has earned a 37-10-2 against-the-spread record good for 79% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements for the net to be valid is to play on a struggling team that has won between 20 and 40% of their games and are coming off an ATS loss and facing a solid opponent that has won 60 to 75% of their games and are coming of two consecutive ATS wins as a lined favorite. 

The Clippers are just 3-15 ATS after two consecutive ATS wins installed as a favorite in games played over the last two seasons; 23-46 ATS following a game in which they committed 10 or more turnovers than the opponent spanning the last 20 seasons. 

Eastern Illinois vs Murray State
8:00 PM EST, Sunday, January 30, 2020

NVAAM 7-Star Titan on the Eastern Illinois Panthers

Murray State is just 19-44 ATS when hosting a game after having won the previous four games; 8-25 ATS when hosting a game after seven or more consecutive wins; 4-16 ATS in home games after nine or more consecutive wins. So I think you get the [point. The Panthers head coach Spoonhour is 20-10 ATS for 67% when coming off a home win. 

The following situational betting system has earned a 37-10-2 against-the-spread record good for 79% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements for the net to be valid is to play on a struggling team that has won between 20 and 40% of their games and are coming off an ATS loss and facing a solid opponent that has won 60 to 75% of their games and are coming of two consecutive ATS wins as a lined favorite. 

A few buzzer beater team trends point out that the Raptors have been a money burning 14-28 ATS after covering the spread in three of their last four games in games played over the last two seasons. 

Houston vs Portland
10:30 PM EST, Sunday, January 29, 2020

NBA 7-Star Titan on the Portland Trailblazers

Here is a situational betting system that has earned a solid 54-26 ATS record good for 68% winners spanning the last five seasons. The query instructs us to bet on all teams in games lined within 3-points of pick-em and is facing an opponent that is outscoring their opponents by at least 3 points-per-game and with both of the teams scoring at keast 100 or more points in each of their last four games.

The No 1 Baylor Bears will try to go 7-0 in conference action for the first tie, since 1958 in what was the Southwest Conference. They also will look to extend their 16-game win streak, but the Iowa State Cyclones have an entirely different goal in mind.

Is Baylor a Team that Can Stay at No 1?
The Bears are 17-1 straight-up (SU), 12-6 against-the-spread (ATS), and the ‘Under’ bet is 10-8 on the season. In true road games they are 4-0 SU, 4-0 ATS, and the total is an even at 2-2. They have played four neutral site games in which they have compiled a 4-1 SU and ATS record with the only loss occurring at the hands of the Washington Huskies in the second game of the season November 8, 2019.

The Bears have played remarkable defense under head coach Scott Drew and rank 5th out of the 353 Division-1 programs in the country in scoring defense allowing just 58.6 points-per-game on the season. They have played the 50th most difficult schedule and rank 8th overall in my proprietary power rankings.

The Bears have four players averaging 10 or more points-per-game in a balanced attack. They are led in scoring by sophomore guard Jared Butler, who is averaging 15.8 points-per-game including 2.8 rebounds-per-game, and 3.1 assists-per-game. Their top rebounder is senior Freddie Gillespie, who is averaging 9.8 rebounds-per-game.

This is the Game of the Year for the Cyclones unless they catch fire down the stretch and improve on their 9-10 SU and 2-4 conference record. A win over No1 Baylor would go a long way to achieving that goal. The Cyclones have played the 27th most difficult schedule and rank 52nd in my power rankings. So, despite the 9-10 SU record they are a good team fully capable of pulling off the upset win.

The Cyclones have two incredibly good sophomore guards, who both average a team-high 16 points-per-game. Tyrese Haliburton leads the offense and in addition to his scoring he also averages a team-high 7.1 assist-per-game. This is a duo that will create matchup problems for the Bears. If they are double teamed both are excellent at finding the open unguarded teammate that will then get drives to the rim for high percentage shots.

From the predictive side of things, the Cyclones are 29-12 ATS for 71% in games in which they scored 70 or more points, had no more than 14 turnovers, made 78% of their free throws and made at least seven 3-point shots; 17-7 ATS for 71% winning bets in home games.

Indiana vs Penn State
8:30 PM EST, January 29, 2020
7-Star Bet on the Penn State Nittany Lions

The PSU Nittany Lions became ranked for the first time in 14 years back in December, then fell out of them, and were re-ranked again after stron back-to-back wins over Ohio State and Michigan. Another win tonight would start to solidify their invite to the Big Dance too.

PSU’s  Lamar Stevens scored 19 points and nine rebounds to finish in double figures for the 19th consecutive game in the Lions first win in Ann Arbor since Feb. 20, 2010.

Here is a situational betting system that has earned a money-making 65-31-1 ATS mark over the last five seasons. The system instructs us to play on home favorites of 3 to 9.5 points that are coming off an upset win over a conference foe and in game involving both teams with win percentages between 60 and 80% on the season.

St. Louis vs Calgary
9:08 PM EST, Sunday, January 28, 2020

NHL 7-Star Titan on the St. Louis Blues

Calgary is a money burning 30-38 against the money line losing $2610 for the $100 bettor in home games and facing excellent power play teams scoring on at least 17.5% of their chances over the last three seasons.

Here is an NHL situational betting query that has earned a 63-35 record over the last five seasons and requires us to be against home teams when the money line is -100 to -150 after having won four or five of their last six games, in January matches.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights will look to remain undefeated in home games when they take on the Purdue Boilermakers tonight. They had to scratch and claw their way to their 14th consecutive home win in their defeat of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Knights puked a 14-point lead early in the second half and trailed by six points with less than three minutes remaining in the game. Once again, their conference-leading scoring defense clamped down and did not allow a point the remainder of the game while the Knights scored the final nine points to earn the win.

The opponent tonight is second in the Big-Ten in scoring defense and they are going to put up a much bigger test than Nebraska provided. Purdie’s head coach Matt Painter called his team out prior to their dominating win over the Wisconsin Badgers in which they outrebounded them 42-16 and had a massive 19-2 advantage in second chance points. I belevie the Boilermakers will play another overwhelming game and leave Piscataway, NJ with the outright win.

From the predictive side of things, the Knights are 34-80 ATS in games in which they have shot under 30% form beyond the arc; 26-52 ATS when they have made 65 to 70% of their free throw shots.

Purdue is 37-5 SU (88%) and winning the game by an average of 22.2 points in games in which they held the opponent to less than 30% shooting and had 40 or more rebounds and had more rebounds than the opponent; 35-4 SU since 2010; 6-2 SUATS when on the road.

Villanova vs St. Johns
7:00 PM EST, January 28, 2020
7-Star Bet on the Villanova Wildcats

Wildcats legendary head coach Jay Wright has a Final-4 potential and his teams always begin to peak at this time of the season. The Wildcats are 14-1 straight-up (SU) and 10-5 against-the-spread (ATS) over the last two seasons. Coach Wright will not have to think long for motivational material tonight as his Wildcats blew a 17-point first-half lead and were shocked by the Red Storm 71-65, which marked the first home win against the Wildcats for the Red Storm in 17 seasons.

·        The Wildcats are 22-11 ATS when facing winning teams that are outscoring their opponents by four or more points-per-game after 15 or games have been played over the last three seasons.

·        The Wildcats are 33-15 ATS after having won eight or more of their last 10 games spanning the last three seasons.

·        The Wildcats are 13-3 ATS coming off a road win spanning the last three seasons.

The NCAA Basketball Best Bet: Villanova Wildcats -3.5 (-110)

No. 3 Kansas vs Oklahoma State
9:00 PM EST, Monday, January 27, 2020
NCAAM Basketball: 7-Star Oklahoma State

The Big-12 Conference ranks as second strongest in my rankings as a conference and have four teams in the Top-25 of the polls with several more teams capable of adding themselves to the list of ranked teams. One of these teams is in a difficult road matchup in which it will take a well-played game for them to leave with the win.

The Kansas Jayhawks will look to add to their current four-game win streak and chase down the Baylor Bears, who are atop the Big-12 Conference standings at 6-0. The Jayhawks last loss was to the Bears, who will have to stumble for the Jayhawks to win the Conference regular season title.

The Cowboys are coming off a 73-62 win at College Station and the Texas A&M Aggies that ended a 6-game conference losing streak. Their defense played well allowing the Aggies just 30% shooting from the field and they must bring that defensive mindset to this matchup if the have any intensions of defeating the Jayhawks.

There are many team-specific trends that support the Cowboys and an upset bid.

·        The Jayhawks are 6-15 ATS after having won 12 of their last 15 games in games played over the last three seasons.

·        Under Bill Self, the Jayhawks are just 34-43 ATS after playing four consecutive games in which they had 14 or fewer turnovers in each game.

·        The Cowboys are 16-10 against the money line making $1,200 per $100 wager in home games after having lost four of their last five games.

NCAAB Upset Alert: The Oklahoma State Cowboys +7 (-110) that is offered at the Heritage Sportsbook. I recommend making a combination bet consisting of 85% of your average bet size on the line and 15% on the money line.

I will get right to the team-specific trends and betting systems that support and reinforce the projections from the machine learning toolbox.

This situational power-query has 48-18 ATS record for 73% winning bets over the last 20 seasons. The requirements are to bet on underdogs that have failed to cover the spread in 12 or more of their last 15 games and are facing a team that has covered four or five of their last six games against the spread.

From the predictive side of things, the Nets are 85-9-2 ATS for 90% winning bets when they have scored 115 or more points and had the better assist-to-turnover ratio.

San Diego State vs UNLV
4:00 PM EST, Sunday, January 26, 2020

NCAAM 7-Star Upset Alert on the UNLV Rebels

For the season the Rebels have earned an 11-10 SU mark, 11-10 ATS, and the ‘OVER’ is 11-10. In MWC action the Rebels are a solid 6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS, and the ‘OVER’ has recorded a 5-2 winning record. As a host the Rebels are 9-4 SU, 8-5 ATS, and the ‘UNDER’ is 7-6 for the season.

In their last game, the Rebels lost to the Nevada Wolfpack 86-72 as a 4-point road underdog Wednesday. They shot just 36% from the field and their defense forced only six Wolfpack turnovers.

The Rebels have a balanced scoring attack led by four players averaging at least 11 points-per-game. Their scoring leader is junior guard Amauri Hardy, who is averaging 15.1 points-per-game. Sophomore guard Bryce Hamilton is second on the team in scoring averaging 13.5 points-per-game and was ranked as the 95th best High School player in the country last year. He has been the sixth man coming off the bench and has played well in that role averaging 27 minutes-per-game, shooting 51% on 2-point shots and 31% on three-point shots.

In their loss at Nevada Hamilton had a team-high 26 points on 10-for-23 shooting and in the second to last game against New Mexico he had a team and career-high 35 points on 14-for-19 shooting. He and Hardy must have their best on the court if they are to take down the Aztecs.

This situational betting system has earned an outstanding 63-28 ATS record for 69% winning NCAAM picks over the last five seasons. The system requires us to bet on home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points, who have a win percentage between 51 and 60% on the season and is now facing an elite team winning 80% or more of their games on the season and are coming off a home win over a conference rival.

Rebels head coach Otzelberger is 14-2 ATS in home games and facing an elite shooting team that is making at least 47% of their shots and with the game taking place in the second half of the season (after Game 15). I do believe that the Rebels can hang around long enough to have a chance at the end to get the headliner upset win today.

No 21 Illinois vs Michigan
12:00 PM EST, Saturday, January 25, 2020

NCAAM 7-Star Upset Alert on the Illinois Fighting Illini

The pressure of being a head coach in a Big Five Conference is weighing more and more on the broad shoulders of Michigan head coach Juwan Howard. He is not on the hot seat and is given the benefit of the doubt as having been a member of the legendary Michigan Fab-5 team and having had a solid NBA career. However, his team has lost four of their last five games and the last three straight-up (SU) and against-the spread (ATS).

The Michigan defense has been the problem as they have allowed 48% or higher shooting four of the last five opponents. Only their 84-78 win over Purdue - the only one of the last five – they did hold the Boilermakers to 41% shooting. Problem there is that it was Purdue missing wide open shots especially in the paint area.

The Wolverine offense has been a steady meltdown over the last stretch of games. In their shocking loss to Penn State (We had Penn State in this matchup) they shot a horrid 35% from the field while Penn State was able to light it up from beyond the arc and also in the paint areas to shoot 48% form the field.

Coach Howard appears to be stubborn in focusing on defending the perimeter and 3-point shooters, which they have done well. However, this stretches his defense and allows opposing big men to get the fall in open space against one defender.

In this matchup. Illinois likes to get a high-percentage shot as close to the rim as possible. They rank 316th of the 353 Division-1 programs in the country attempting an average of 17.5 3-point-shots-per-game. The Illini rank 69th making 52% of their 2-point shot attempts. So, it is still a pick your poison situation for the Wolverines. If they pack the paint, Illinois will adjust and look for shots near the 3-point shot line and not necessarily beyond it if the Wolverines pack the paint in a zone defense.

Even though the Illini have struggled from beyond the arc, they have talented shooters than can bury open shots from that range.

Illinois head coach Underwood is a perfect 8-0 ATS in road games and is coming off two consecutive wins against conference rivals.

Illinois is 58-11-3 ATS for 84% winning bets when they have made at least 45% of their shot attempts and had at least five more rebounds then the opponent in game splayed since 2006.

LA Clippers vs Miami
8:05 PM EST, January 24, 2020
7-Star Bet on the LA Clippers

Play on road teams that went under the posted total by at least 30 points an dis now facing a non-conference host that went OVER the total by at least 18 points in their last game.

From the predictive side of things, The Clippers are 19-7 ATS when they can play fast and attempt at least 88 or more shots this season; 30-14-1 ATS when their opponent has shot between 40 and 45% from the field spanning the last two seasons; 102-22-3 for 82% winners when they scored 115 or more points and had 14 or fewer turnovers in games played since 2000.

Niagara vs Monmouth

NCAAM 7-Star Titan Bet on the Monmouth Hawks

I will get right to the team-specific trends for this game. 

The Hawks are 10-2 against-the-spread in home games and facing a struggling team that is winning between 20 and 40% of their games in game splayed over the last three seasons. All of these games returned by the database occurred in the second-half (after Game 15) of each season. 

From the predictive side of things, the Hawks are projected to shoot between 40 and 45% from beyond the arc. The Purple Eagles are just 18-32-2 ATS when they have allowed an opponent to make between 40 and 45% of their 3-point shots in games played since 2006. 

The Hakws are 26-11 ATS for 70% winning bets when they have scored 75 or more points and maek at least 40% of their 3’s. 

The Purple Eagles are a miserable 17-69-2 ATS for 20% when they have allowed 75 points and 40% and higher shooting from beyond the arc in game splayed since 2006 and even worse 12-57-1 ATS for 17% in games played since 2010.

Dallas vs Portland
10:35 PM EST, January 23, 2020
7-Star Bet on the Portland Trailblazers

This situational power query betting system has earned an outstanding 48-17 for 74% winning bets over the last 20 seasons. Play on underdogs that have failed to cover the spread in 12 or more of their last 15 games and are facing an opponent that has covered the spread in four of their last five games.

From the predictive side of things, Portland is projected to score 111 or more points and commit fewer than 12 turnovers.  In past games in which Portland achieved these performance measures they have gone on to a 136-39-3 ATS record for 78% winning bets since 1995 and

This is a significant Colonial Athletic Association matchup of two teams trying to keep pace with the conference-leading William & Mary Tribe. Obviously, the research I have uncovered overwhelmingly supports Northeastern and a projected 11 or more point home win tonight.

This situational power-query betting system has earned a stout 49-24 against-the-spread (ATS) record  for 67% winners spanning the last five seasons. The query instructs us to play on home teams, who are facing an opponent coming off three or more consecutive wins and with both teams sporting win percentages between 51 and 60% on the season.

When the game identified pits two conference foes against each other the record soars to 42-15-1 ATS and 74% winning bets including a 39-12 ATS subset for 77% winning bets when the team is a conference matchup as a favorite.

The Drexel Dragons are a money-burning 2-11 ATS after playing a game as a home underdog spanning the last three seasons.

The Huskies are a near-perfect 8-1 ATS after playing two consecutive road games spanning the last two seasons.

Dragons head coach is a miserable 3-20 ATS after playing a game as a home underdog.

From the predictive side of things, the Huskies are projected to shoot 50% or better from the field and score a minimum of 80 points. In past games where the Huskies have met or exceeded these performance measures has earned them a 43-2 SU record winning the games by an average of 12. 4 points and a 32-8-1 ATS record good for 80% winners and has covered the spread by an average of 9 points.

Fresno State vs Colorado State
9:00 PM EST, January 22, 2020
7-Star Bet on Fresno State

 Let us take a look at some specific bullet points form the trustworthy database that support the bet on Fresno State that was produced by the machine learning tools.

From the predictive side of things, all these outcomes match the projections for this game and for Fresno State to be an easy winning bet tonight.
FSU is 11-3 ATS in games I which they have made between 73 and 79% of their free throws attempts in games played over the past two seasons.

FSU is 9-1 ATS in road games where they forced 10 to 13 turnovers in game splayed over the past two seasons.

CSU is 4-18 ATS when they have made 64 to 70% of their free-throw attempts in a game played over the last three seasons.

CSU is 5-17 ATS in games in which they score between 67 and 75 points over the last three seasons.

The Louisville Cardinals will look to extend their current four-game win streak against ACC conference foe Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at the KFC Yum! Center tonight. The Cardinals are also coming off a huge 79-73 road win over the Duke Blue Devils that catapulted them into a tie with the Florida State Seminoles for first place in the conference standings.

The Yellow Jackets are looking to end a two-game skid and earn an unlikely upset with against the Cardinals, but they are catching them in a prime letdown situation coming off their win at Duke. They have outshot their last three opponents handily but committed too many turnovers in their pair of losses. They must take care of the ball and keep the turnovers 14 or fewer for them to have a solid opportunity to win the game.

The Yellow Jackets are 8-10 straight-up (SU) and have earned an 11-7 against-the-spread (ATS) record. Teams that have losing records but have a winning ATS mark reflects that the team is outperforming the public’s expectations for the team. In this matchup though, the public will be betting the ranked team coming off a huge win and will disregard the losing record opponent as not relevant. So, we are getting at least four extra points in taking the Yellow Jackets.

The Yellow Jackets are 15-5 ATS in road games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last two seasons; 11-3 ATS in road games when facing very good teams outscoring their opponents by 8 or more points-per-game over the last two seasons.

Penn State vs Michigan
7:00 PM EST, January 202, 2020
NCAAM 7-Star Best Bet on the Penn State Nittany Lions

Hard to believe the misfortune for the Penn State Nittany Lions being voted out of the Top-25 after their huge 90-76 home win over an Ohio State team that earlier in the season had been ranked No. 1in the polls. Such is life in the extraordinarily deep 14-team conference that has the potential to set the record for teams being invited to the NCAA Tournament this season.

I do believe the Lions will have a bit of a bad taste in their mouth and will want to send a message to the voters never to underestimate them again this season. Head Coach Patrick Chambers is doing a masterful job leading his team that ranks 41st of the 353 Division-1 basketball programs in the country in scoring offense averaging 78 points-per-game and 153rd in scoring defense allowing 68 points-per-game on the season.

The Lions play at a slightly faster pace than the Wolverines, which will benefit the Lions in transition off missed Wolverine shots. The Wolverines defense has been shredded over the last 10 games because head coach Juwan Howard is refusing to change his scheme, which is all about defending the perimeter. The Wolverines do an excellent job defending the perimeter, but this has set up the opponent’s big men in the paint against man defense with little chance of getting help to prevent easy looks at the rim.

The Lions have two big men, who will expose the defense in Senior forward Lamar Stevens, who is averaging a team-high 16.6 points-per-game and Senior forward Mike Watkins, who is third on the team averaging 10.1 points-per-game. Watkins will be the go-to guy in the paint as he is making 61% of his shot attempts and rare will launch a 3-point shot.  

Here is a situational betting system that has earned a solid 195-122 ATS record good for 64% winning bets over the last 20 seasons. The query instructs us to bet on any team in a matchup of excellent teams with both outscoring their opponents by at least 8 points-per-game and with the opponent allowing 75 or more points in each of their last three games.  

Miami (FLA) vs Duke
9:00 PM EST, January 21, 2020
7-Star Bet ‘OVER’ the posted total

 Let us take a look at some specific bullet points form the trustworthy database that support the ‘OVER’ bet that was produced by the machine learning tools.

Duke is 10-2 ‘OVER’ when playing against a team with a winning record this season; 8-1 ‘OVER’ when facing a good shooting team that is making 45% or more of their shots this season; 7-1 ‘OVER’ when facing good ball handling teams committing 14 or fewer turnovers-per-game this season; 8-1 OVER after playing four consecutive games as a favorite this season.

From the predictive side of things, all these outcomes match the projections for this game and for the ‘OVER’ to be an easy winning bet tonight.

Miami is 53-6 ‘OVER’ when they allow 80 or more points in a game over since 2007.

Miami is 23-1 ‘OVER’ when they allow 87 or more points in a game since 2007.
Duke is 8-2-1 ‘OVER’ in home games when they score 80 or more points in a game this season.

DUKE is 83-29 ‘OVER’ when they score 87 or more points in a game since 2007

Let us take a look at an outstanding NBA betting system that has earned a 58-23-1 against-the-spread (ATS) record for 71.3% winning bets over the last five seasons. The power system instructs is play on favorites that have a winning record on the season and are facing an opponent that is coming off a game in which the final score went OVER by 20 or more points and has a win percentage between 60 and 75%. An if this game went over the total by 30 or more points the system goes to 26-6 ATS for 81% winning NBA bets.

From the predictive side of things, the Mavs are projected to score at least 114 points and out-rebound the Clippers by at least five boards and hold the Clippers to between 43 and 47% shooting from the field.
The Mavs are 65-18-3 ATS when scoring 114 or more points in a game over the last five seasons and 19-5 ATS for 79% winners this season.

The Mavs are 24-2 ATS when scoring 114 or more points and out rebounding their opponent by at least 5 boards since 2015 and a perfect 8-0 ATS this season covering the spread by an average of 21.4 points.

This situational betting system has earned a consistent 47-16 ATS record for 75% winning bets over the last five seasons. The system instructs us to bet ‘Over’ with road teams where the total is 6 or more and is an explosive offensive team, like Florida, scoring three or more goals-per-game on the season in the second-half of the season and are coming off a stretch scoring three or more goals in each of the last five straight games.

Indiana Pacers vs Utah Jazz

9:05 PM EST, January 20, 2020
NBA: 7-Star Best Bet ‘OVER’ the total

This betting query has earned a solid 134-80 ‘OVER’ record for the past 20 seasons. The query instructs us to play ‘OVER’ with all teams where the current game total is lined between 210 and 220 points and the one teak is coming off a game, in which they scored a minimum of 115 points and is now facing an opponent that scored a minimum of 120 points in their previous game.

From the predictive side of my research, the Pacers are 10-2 ‘over’ when their opponent has made 40 to 45% of their 3-point shot attempts in games played this season; 12-1 ‘OVER when they have allowed an opponent to score 111 or more points in games played this season. Utah is a near-perfect 17-1 ‘OVER’ when they score 112 or more points in a game this season.

Florida vs Minnesota
8:08 PM EST, January 20, 2020
7-Star Best Bet on the Minnesota Wild

This situational power-query has earned a solid 65-32 record for 67% winning bets and a quite attractive 23% return-on-investment (ROI)_over the last 15 seasons. The query instructs us to bet on a home team that is off a divisional win and shutout and is now facing a team that is off a road win to a divisional rival.   Enough said and remember this betting system serves to reinforce the pick identified by the machine learning tools.

Rice vs North Texas
8:00 PM EST, January 20, 2020
NCAAM Basketball Odds: North Texas -12.5 (-110)
The Bet is 7-Star on the Rice Owls

95% on the line and 15% on the money line.

I will admit upfront that it will take a huge effort for the Rice Owls to defeat the North Texas Mean Green tonight, but I do think this will be a single-digit game that may come down to the final minutes with the Owls still in the game.

The Owls are catching the Mean Green at the right time for the upset. The Mean Green have won five consecutive games straight-up and against the spread (ATS) and will be thinking this game is a ‘win’ before the game even starts. This is how a team gets caught not being fully prepared for a losing record opponent.

Let is take a close look at this supporting NCAAM betting system that has earned a 70-30 against-the-spread (ATS) record since 2006. The requirements for a bet are to bet on underdogs of 10 or more points after going under the total by 18 or more points total in their last three games and are now facing an opponent after going under the total by 30 or more points total in their last five games.

The Owls allowed 81 points in their most recent loss at Southern Mississippi and this turns out to be good news for the Owls today. Head coach Pera is 17-6-1 ATS in games following one in which his team allowed 80 or more points in his three-year tenure at Rice.

The Texas Longhorns and West Virginia Mountaineers will look to bounce back from a loss in their previous game when they meet tonight at the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, WV. The Mountaineers are 14-3 straight-up (SU) and 11-6 against-the-spread (ATS) on the season. Under head coach Bob Huggins, who has always had fierce defensive teams the ‘UNDER’ has earned a 12-5 record on the season.

The Longhorns are 12-5 SU, 6-11 ATS, and the ‘UNDER’ has earned a 9-8 record on the season. They are 2-3 SU and in 7th place in the 10-team Big-12 Conference and cannot afford another loss if they are to contend down the stretch.

The Kansas Jayhawks were in Austin, TX Saturday and had to fight hard to get out of town with a 66-57 win over the Longhorns. The Mountaineers forgot how to play defense in their 84-68 road loss to Kansas State on Saturday and failed to cover the spread as a 6-point favorite. The loss was by far the worst one of the seasons and makes it difficult for them or any team to turn things around with only a day of rest between games.

Since 2013, the Longhorns are 7-9 SU and 4-11-1 ATS when facing the Mountaineers. The ‘UNDER’ has earned a 10-6 record in these meetings. Texas has shot 45% from the field and averaged 11.6 offensive rebounds while the Mountaineers have struggled shooting 39% from the field and have been outscored on average in each half against the Longhorns.

I will start with the Longhorn defense, who ranks 25th-best of the 353 Division-1 basketball programs allowing 61.2 points-per-game and is better than the Mountaineers scoring defense.

I believe you will see sophomore guard Andrew Jones, who attended MacArthur High School in Irving, TX, have a break-out type game tonight.

WVU is a money-burning 2-10 ATS when facing below average foul drawing teams attempting fewer than 18 free throws-per-game after 15 or more games have been played in each of the last three seasons.

Head coach Bob Huggins is 13-29 ATS after covering five or six of their last seven games against the spread as the coach of the Mountaineers.

This situational betting system has earned a consistent 70-37-3 ATS record for 65.4% winning bets over the last 15 seasons. The system instructs us to bet on home favorites between -3.5 and -9.5 that have made at least nine 3-point shots in two consecutive games and are now facing an opponent that has allowed each of their last two opponents 50% or better shooting.

Miami is coming off a poor performance Sunday and are 10-1 ATS  and covering the spread by an average of 7 points in home games after playing a road game this season. Plus, they are 18-1 straight-up (SU)  and 14-5 ATS at home this season.

Green Bay vs San Francisco
6:40 PM EST, January 19, 2020
NFC Championship Game
NFL: 10-Star Bet on ‘OVER’ the posted total

Let us start with this power-query that has earned a 77-32-2 ‘OVER’ record good for 70% winning bets since 2010. Play over with road teams where the total is between 42.5 and 49 points and are outscoring opponents by 4 or more points-per-game and after allowing thtree points or less in the first half of their last game.

The Packers are 27-10 ‘OVER’ in road games when facing elite offensive teams averaging 6.5 yards-per-play in games played since 1991.

The Packers are 18-5 ‘OVER’ after playing a game at home over the last three seasons.

From the predictive side of things, the 49ers are projected to score 1t least 28 points and the Packers have posted a 101-13 ‘OVER’ record in games in which they allowed 28 or more points since 1991 including 10-0 ‘OVER’ in playoff games.

The 49ers are 125-29 ‘OVER’ when they have scored 28 or more points since 1991 including a perfect 5-0 ‘OVER’ in playoff games.

Loyola-Illinois vs Illinois State
4:00 PM EST, Sunday, January 19, 2020
7-Star Best Bet Titan on the Illinois State Redbirds

This situational betting system has earned a solid 46-27-2 against-the-spread (ATS) record since 2010 and requires us to bet on an underdog that is coming off a 10 or more point loss to a conference rival and is now facing an opponent that is coming off two consecutive dominating games covering the spread as a double-digit favorite in each game.

Loyola is a money-burning 8-21 ATS after playing two consecutive games as a favorite spanning games played over the last two seasons.

Illinois State does not shoot well from the free throw line, but they do shoot well from beyond the arc ranking 58th in the nation consisting of 353 Division-1 programs with a 36% 3-point shooting percentage. From the predictive side of my tools note that Loyola is 2-10 ATS for 17% when their opponent has made between 38% and 45% of their 3-point shot attempts.

Tennessee vs Kansas City
AFC Championship Game
Arrowhead Stadium
2:30 PM EST, January 19, 2020
10-Star Best Bet ‘UNDER’ the Total

I will not provide the color and background of these teams as that would only be a regurgitation of the tons of content already on the web and on television. The predictive metrics are what is important in my content and let us get right to it.

Tennessee is 9-2 ’UNDER’ after allowing 14 or fewer points in their last game in games played over the last two seasons.
The Chiefs are 6-1 ‘UNDER’ in games following a 40+ point outburst and have won at least three consecutive games. Home favorites of 5.5 to 9 points on a three or more game win streak and are coming off a 40+ point game are 24-11 ‘UNDER’ since 1991 including a perfect 4-0 ‘UNDER’ in the playoffs.

For the first half the following power-query underscores the 7-Star play on the ‘UNDER” for the first half. The query has earned a 42-11 ‘UNDER’ record over the last five seasons for 79% winning bets. The requirements are to play ‘UNDER’ with any team using the first-half total that is a good offensive team averaging 23 to 27 points-per-game and are facing an average defensive team allowing 18 to 23 PPG and after a win by 14 or more points.

The key projection is that the Titans will rush for 150 to 200 yards. In playoff games in which the host allowed 150 to 200 rushing yards, the ‘UNDER’ is 16-7 for 70% winners including a 12-1 ‘UNDER’ (8-16 straight-up and 6-18 ATS in case you were wondering) record when the opponent gained between 180 and 200 yards.

Tennessee Titans vs Kansas City Chiefs

3:05 PM ESTPM EST, January 19, 2020
NFL: 7-Star Best Bet on the Tennessee Titans

The Chiefs are in a classic Catch-22 situation. Should they choose to attempt to contain Henry they will expose themselves to the passing arm of Ryan Tannehill, who was atop the NFL with a 135 quarterback Passer Rating Index and net yards-power-pass-attempt. It has been a long time since a quarterback led the league in both categories since throwing down field will logically cause more incomplete passes and potential interceptions.

Tannehill has not had to win games with his arm so far in the playoffs, which gives little scouting intelligence for the Chiefs to prepare for in this game. The Chiefs know that play action pass will be part of the TItans offensive scheme since they led the NFL with a total of 1,568 passing yards using play action.

The Chiefs will be at their most vulnerable in second and shorter than five yards. If the Titans use play action and the Chiefs are playing run stop it will leave every receiver on the field in man coverage with no safety help. Tannehill has been incredibly accurate with throws of any length and he will exploit any man-coverage situation downfield.

If the Chiefs show blitz and back out and the Titans are running the ball behind Henry the result will be a first down. Henry is gaining chunk yards meaning big gains that are rarely seen from run plays and more common from pass receptions and yards after the catch.

Tannehill and the Titan receivers led the NFL in average yards gained using play action by a wide margin. They used play action 124 times, which ranked 15th most in the NFL, but gained the most passing yards.

This situational betting system has earned a solid 79-44-2 against-the-spread (ATS) record spanning the last 10 seasons. The system instructs us to be on road dogs of 3.5 to 10 points that has a defense that allows an average of between 335 and 370 yards-per-game on the season and is facing an elite team that is gaining an average of 370 yards-per-game on the season.

From the predictive side of things, there is high probability that the Titans gain 100 or more rushing yards and teams in past Championship games that have attained this measure are a stout 24-13 SU and 24-13 ATS since 2000 including road warriors sporting a 7-8 SU record and an eye-popping 12-3 ATS mark good for 80% winning NFL picks.

Davidson vs Fordham
12:00 PM EST, Sunday, January 19, 2020
7-Star Best Bet on the Fordham Rams

Let us start with a situational betting system that has earned a consistent 74-33-3 ATS the record over the last five seasons. The requirements are to play on struggling underdogs that are averaging 63 or fewer points-per-game on the season and are facing an opponent that is an average offensive team scoring between 67 and 75 points-per-game on the season and are coming off two or more consecutive ‘OVER’s games.

 Davidson is just 2-10 ATS when facing teams that average 14 or fewer turnovers this season and 2-9 ATS after a game in which they failed to cover the spread this season. 

Virginia vs Georgia Tech
8:00 PM EST, Saturday, January 18, 2020
7-Star Best Bet Titan on the Virginia Cavaliers

The Cavaliers have uncharacteristically lost three consecutive games and need to right the ship now. From the predictive side of things, G-Tech is a miserable 6-39 straight-up (SU) and 13-32 against-the-spread (ATS) when their opponent has committed the same number or fewer turnovers, shot 43% or better, and made at least 75% of their free throw attempts including 2-29 SU and 11-20 ATS against conference foes.

Virginia is 67-6 SU and 54-13-1 ATS when they committed the same number or fewer turnovers, shot 43% or better, and made at least 75% of their free throw attempts including 35-4 SU and 32-6-1 ATS against conference foes.

Nevada vs No. 6 San Diego State
8:00 PM EST, January 18, 2020
7-Star Best Bet on the Nevada Wolfpack

San Diego State earned the title of Last Team Standing after Auburn lost 83-64 at Alabama on Wednesday. That left the Aztecs as the lone remaining unbeaten team among 353 Division I college basketball squads. With the great success comes the public betting enthusiasm that creates an over valued price in the market for this game.

The 68-67 victory over the Wyoming Cowboys was the 598th in 29 seasons for head coach Steve Alford who needs two more to become the 16th active NCAA Division I head coach with 600 career wins. Jalen Harris, a 6-5 transfer from Louisiana Tech and Duncanville High School, leads the team in scoring averaging 18.4 points-per-game, which ranks second in the Mountain West, and rebounding averaging 6.2 rebounds-per-game and twice has scored 31 points in a game. Senior guards Jazz Johnson (17.1 PPG) and Lindsey Drew (12.1 PPG) also are averaging in double figures with Drew also averaging a team-best 4.5 assists. This group can play against the Aztecs and I do believe this game will be a single-digit nail-biter type.

The Wolfpack is 28-15-1 ATS when committing between 10 and 15 turnovers and shooting at least 40% form the field.

This situational betting system has earned a consistent 139-92-7 ATS record for 60% winning bets over the last five seasons. The system instructs us to bet on any team (in this case Toledo) after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games and are now facing an opponent after going under the total by 42 or more points total in their last seven games.

Where this gets quite tasty is when the team to bet on is facing an opponent that allowed a shooting percentage of 25% or lower, the record then goes to 11-4 ATS for 73% winning bets since 2013.
