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.  

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. 2 Baylor vs. Oklahoma State
12:00 PM EST, Saturday, January 18, 2020
10-Star Best Bet on the Oklahoma State Cowboys

Today’s reports are shorter than usual due to the size of today’s NCAAM betting card. This is the first of many plays that will be released over the next several hours so be sure to check back for them as well.

From the predictive side of things, the following results match the summary projections produced by the machine learning tools. The Cowboys are 79-9 straight-up (SU) and 61-11-4 against-the-spread (ATS) for 85% winning bets when they have had the same number or fewer turnovers as their opponent, shot 43% of better from the field, and shot better than 75% from the free throw line. Baylor is 12-34 SU and 12-30-1 ATS for 29% when they have allowed the trio of aforementioned performance measures.

Here is a supporting betting system that has earned a 43-16 ATS record good for 73% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on any underdog after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points in total spanning their last five games and are facing an opponent that has gone over the total by at least 54 points spanning their last 10 games.

Atlanta vs San Antonio
8:35 PM EST, Friday, January 17, 2020
7-Star Best Bet Titan on the San Antonio Spurs

Hawks are 7-15 against-the-spread (ATS) when facing a team that attempts an average of 18 or more 3-point shot attempts per game and 7-15 ATS when facing teams who make an average of six 3-pointers-per-game this season.

Hawks are 4-11 ATS when facing solid offensive teasm scoring 106 or more points-per-game this season; 3-11 ATS after having lost five or six of their last seven games this season.

From the predictive side of things, the Hawks are 1-8 ATS and failing to cover the spread by an average of 9.4 points when their opponent has shot between 47 and 51% form the field.

The St. Louis Billikins are a solid ball handling team, but guess what? Dayton is 8-1 ATS when facing an excellent ball handling team that is averaging 14 or fewer turnovers-per-game this season. The Dayton Flyers are also 9-2 ATS when facing an opponent that is outscoring their opponents by an average of at least four points-per-game this season.

The Billikens are just 16-43 ATS after a game where they made 20% of their 3-point shots or worse since 1997.

From the predictive side of things, the Billikens are 1-9 ATS when they allow 75 to 80 points in a game over the last three seasons. Davidson is 28-5-1 ATS and covering the spread by an average of 8.6 points-per-game when scoring more than 75 points and shooting between 50 and 53% from the field in games played since 2006

Colorado vs Arizona State
9:00 PM EST, January 15, 2020
7-Star Best Bet on the Arizona State Sun Devils

 The Arizona State Sun Devils will look to avenge a loss to their Conference foe Colorado Buffalos form the first game of the year and one that does not ocunt in the PAC-12 Conference standings. The game was played in Shanghai, China on November 8 and was part of the PAC-12 China initiative program. This game will count and it will count big.

·        The Buffalos are just 2-12 against-the-spread (ATS) in road games and facing an opponent, who loves the 3-point shot and averages 21 or more 3-point shot attempts per game in game splayed over the last two seasons.

·        The Sun Devils are a near-perfect 9-1 ATS when facing an outstanding rebounding team that has averaged 7 or more rebounds-per-game than the opponent in games played over the last three seasons.

·        Buffalos are 5-19 ATS in road games after one or more consecutive wins in games played over the last three seasons.

 From the predictive side of things, the Buffalos are 1-11 SU and 0-12 ATS when getting 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game played over the past three seasons.

Two losing record teams square off in this matchup and I like the home team in the Eastern Illinois Panthers tonight. The Panthers have lost five straight games straight-up (SU) and against-the-spread (ATS) and teams that are in this situation have earned a solid 57-29 SU and 49-35-2 ATS record good for 58% winning bets in home games and not favored by more than seven points in games played since 2006. If the team is facing a conference foe the record improves to 53-27 SU and 46-32-2 ATS for 59% winners since 2006 including a robust 23-10-2 ATS for 70% winning bets since 2014.

From the predictive side of things, The Panthers are expected to have at least four fewer turnovers and will shoot at least 45% from the field. They are 23-2 ATS in home games when they have achieved this pair of performance measures dating back to the 2006 season.

Let us start with an NBA situational betting system that has earned a 61-23-3 against-the-spread (ATS) record good for 73% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements ate to bet on struggling teas that have a win percentage between 20 and 40% on the season and are facing a strong opponent that ahs won between 60 and 75% of their games and are coming off back-to-back ATS wins as a favorite.

From the predictive side of things, the Pelicans are 75-26-1 ATS when scoring between 115 and 125 points in games played spanning the last five seasons. The Jazz are 13-29-1 ATS in games in which they allowed the opponent to score between 115 and 125 points in games played since 2015 including 8-20-1 ATS when on the road.

The 76ers miss a player from last year’s roster, who was not an All-Star player, and was not anywhere close to a shooting phenom like Clay Thompson or Steph Curry. They miss J.J. Reddick, who had the ability to step up in crunch time and drain 3-point shots and played the pick-and-roll with Joel Embid to near-perfection.

The term crunch time is often overused and even more over valued since the first possession and all possessions are as important as the last one. As fans we always remember the last thing that happened that resulted in the win or loss. A missed wide-open, shot, a botched ground ball, a dropped ball for a touchdown, or not getting a hot off before the shot clock ticked zero.

The latter is the biggest problem for the 76ers, and they need, and will, address this problem at the NBA trade deadline. The 76ers rank poorly in the average time left on the clock when they finally attempt a shot. More than 19 possession-per-game result in a shot attempt with less than seven seconds left on the shot clock, which leads the NBA.  By comparison, the Milwaukee Bucks, who have the best record in the NBA average a league-best 11 possessions resulting in a shot attempt with seven or fewer seconds left on the shot clock.

Fortunate for the 76ers they are facing a losing record team in the Nets, but who would be the eighth and final seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs right now. Like the 76ers, they have been going through a losing stretch and have lost eight of their last 10 games. The 76ers play their best in the Wells Fargo Center have the second-best home record at 18-2 SU and 10-9-1 ATS. Only the league-best Milwaukee Bucks have a better record at 19-2.

This situational betting system has earned a robust 50-14 ATS record for 78% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on a home favorite, who is revenging a loss to the current opponent of 10 or more points and are coming off back-to-back road losses.

Tennessee vs Georgia
7:00 PM EST, January 15, 2020
NCAAM Betting Odds: Georgia -2.5 (-110)

The Tennessee Volunteers will look to extend their win streak to three games when they visit the Georgia Bulldogs in this SEC Conference matchup. The Bulldogs are playing horrific defense allowing both the Kentucky Wildcats and the Auburn Tigers to shoot over 50% form the field and both games resulted in losses. The Volunteers will look to bounce back from a terrible shooting game against the South Carolina Gamecocks, in which they shot 26% form the field.

·        The Volunteers are 74-42 against-the-spread (ATS) when facing elite scoring offensive teams that have averaged 77 or more points-per-game since the 2000 season.

·        The Volunteers are 30-14 ATS after a game in which their opponent was called for 27 or more fouls in games played since 2000.

Kentucky vs South Carolina
6:30 PM EST, January 15, 2020
7-Star Best Bet on the South Carolina Gamecocks

The South Carolina Gamecocks are going to have their hands full if they want to end their three-game losing skid with a win over the No. 12 Kentucky Wildcats in this SEC matchup. The Wildcats are riding a four-game win streak but are going to have to play their best against a conference foe that is desperate for a win.

The Wildcats are 3-0 straight-up (SU) and atop the SEC Conference standings. They are led by four players in freshman guard Tyrese Maxey, sophomore guard Ashton Hagans, junior forward Nick Richards, and sophomore guard Immanuel Quickley that are averaging 13 or 14 points per game this season. This has given head coach John Calipari a rare season in which he had balanced scoring and did not rely on one or two future lottery picks to score points and win games.

I have been impressed with the progress made by Hagans, who was one assist and one rebound shy of a triple-double in the 76-67 home win over Alabama this past Saturday. His inexperience does show in games as evidenced by committing a team-high four turnovers and is averaging a team-high of 3.3 turnovers-per-game. So, you can count on the Gamecocks looking to exploit that weakness and create turnovers, which can then lead to high percentage fast break attacks to the rim.

The Gamecocks will win this game with their defense and cannot afford to get into a shooting match with the Wildcats. They have five players averaging nine or more points-per-game and led by sophomore guard A.J. Lawson, who is averaging a team-high 14.5 points-per-game. Senior forward Maik Kotsar is coming off a terrific game scoring 17 points in their loss to the Tennessee Volunteers. He has the physicality at 6-11 and 265 lbs. to dominate the Wildcat defenders. Look for him to score 17 or more points tonight.

Here is a betting system that has earned a stout 45-17 ATS mark for 71% winners spanning the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a close loss by three or fewer points to a conference rival and now facing an opponent off a no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite.

From the predictive side of things, the Wildcats are 8-39-1 for 17% ATS in games in which they allowed between 67 and 75 points and they shot 45% or lower in the game.

What I like about this match-up is that the Rebels are the better ball handling team and they are the more consistent playing team. I did not say the better team, but when playing on a double-digit dog, performance variances increase in meaning. So, with the Rebels getting 11 points and perhaps more as game time approaches they are the better team.

 The Rebels rank 72nd in the nation of the 353 Division-1 programs with a 1.093 assist-to-turnover ratio (ATR) while the Gators rank 172nd with a 0.951 ratio. An ATR below 1.000 means that the team commits more turnovers than assists and above 1.000 the opposite with the team getting more assists than committing turnovers.

Here is an excellent betting system that has earned a 45-23-1 for 65% ATS winning bets since 2007. Play on underdogs between 10 and 19.5 points that have gone UNDER the total by 24 or more points over their last three games and are facing an opponent that is coming off a game that they failed by to cover by at least 18 points.

Gators are 1-9 ATS in home games when facing good ball handling teams committing 14 or fewer turnovers-per-game in game splayed spanning the last two seasons.   

From the predictive side, the Rebels are 44-12 ATS for 79% winning bets in games played in which they attempted between 55 and 60 shots and shot at least 45% from the field.

Oklahoma City vs Minnesota

8:05 PM EST, January 13, 2020
NBA 7-Star Best Bet on the Oklahoma City Thunder

Here are few tip-ins that support the machine learning summary projections. OKC is 20-9 ATS after playing two consecutive home games over the last two seasons. Timberwolves are a money-burning  2-12 ATS after scoring 105 or more points in three consecutive games this season; 13-26 ATS after a combined score of 235 points or more over the last two seasons.

 From the predictive side, the Timberwolves are just 6-14 ATS when both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season. The Timberwolves are 0-24 ATS as a dog and coming off of a road defeat of at least 12 points and is now facing a team that averages 10.1 or fewer offensive rebounds on the season. This situation covers the spread by an average of 8 points.

Miami Heat vs NY Knicks
3:35 PM EST, January 12, 2020

Place bets on underdogs between 3.5 and 10 points that have gone over the total by 33 or more points in their last five games and in a game between two teams with win percentages between 40 and 49.99% on the season.

I like dogs that are the more consistent team even if the matchup features two teams that rank in the bottom half of the national rankings of 353 Division-1 Basketball programs. Binghamton ranks 199th as compared to a 300th ranking in team consistency. I know what I am getting with Binghamton and I am getting points too.

NBA 7-Star Best Bet on the Milwaukee Bucks

This is the first release posted to the site today and there will be more plays released throughout the afternoon.

The Buffalo Bulls are the better team, especially in the rebounding part of the game. When playing on the road against a tough opponent defensive rebounding becomes a significant driver if the road team is to the win the game. The Bulls will be able to minimize the Red Hawks second chance scoring opportunities and this will be a dominant reason for a double digit win.

The Bulls rank third in the nation averaging 12.6 offensive rebounds contributing second chance scores to their scoring offense that ranks 36th averaging 77.3 points-per-game.

From the predictive side, Buffalo is 18-5-3 against-the-spread (ATS) and covering the spread by an average of 9.0 points when they have had 45 or more rebounds in a game played since 2006.

Iona vs Rider
7:00 PM EST
NCAAM Basketball Odds: Rider -7.5 (-110)

The Iona Gaels have won only two games on the season, but this may be a matchup where they catch the Rider Broncs knapping and earn a surprising road win. The Gaels are 2-7 SU and 0-8 ATS with one game against Kennesaw State not being lined on the NCAAM odds board.

The Rider Broncs are off to an 8-5 SU record and have covered the spread in six of these games. They have lost three of their last four games and are 2-1 SU in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

The Broncs have four players averaging more than 13 points-per-game, but their bench depth is quite weak with the fifth and sixth highest scores on the team average six points-per-game. So, 54 of the teams 73.8 average points-per-game or 73% come from those four starters.

The lack of depth has made it difficult for the Broncs to play consistently and you will see it tonight in this game., The Broncs rank 331st in team consistency rating while the Gaels rank a much better 115th of the 353 Division-1 basketball programs in the country. The Gaels are a bad team, but their game-to-game play is far more consistent than the Broncs and for that reason they have a great shot at the road upset win tonight.

 Rider is 2-10 ATS when facing teams who average 33 or less rebounds-per-game on the season over the last two seasons; 55-78 ATS when facing a good free throw shooting team making at least 72% of their free throw attempts.

Canisius vs Monmouth
7:00 PM EST
NCAAM 7-Star Titan Bet on Monmouth Hawks

Monmouth is an excellent situation to get a double-digit win in this matchup against Canisius. Monmouth is 11-2 when making at east 80% of their free throw attempts, attempt more free throws than their opponent and hold the opponent to fewer than 70 points.

Canisius has lost five consecutive games and shot a horrid 28% from the field in their most recent loss to Fairfield. Monmouth has won five of their last six games and have been far more consistent than Canisius.

Houston vs Oklahoma City
9:30 PM EST, January 9, 2020
NBA 7-Star Best Bet on the Houston Rockets

Russell Westbrook will have an emotional experience prior to the start of the game against his former team. He was loved by the fans and was seven time All-=Star and the 2016 MVP in a season he set the NBA record with 42 triple-doubles. The Thunder will honor him with a video tribute, which is the first tike the franchise has ever done for a departed player.

The Rockets are playing back-to-back road games, but Westbrook was held out of last night’s win over the Atlanta Hawks for rest purposes. So, he will be more than ready to go against his former teammates, some of which remain his best friends off the court.

This NBA situational betting system has earned a solid 166-90-5 against-the-spread (ATS) record 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.

Denver vs. Dallas
7:35 PM EST, January 8, 2020
NBA 7-Star Bet on the Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets Barton is coming off a great game scoring a season-high 28 points on 12-of-20 shooting and collecting nine rebounds to complement Jokic's big outing.  Barton was just 12-of-36 shooting over the previous three games before the solid effort against the Hawks that included three 3-pointers.

The Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris is just 5-of-24 shooting over the past two games, but I fully expect him to play an excellent game tonight in Dallas.

·        Denver is in a great situation tonight knowing that underdogs that Are off a road win and are now revenging a home loss to the current opponent have earned a 158-100 ATS mark for 62% winning bets over the last five seasons.  

This is am upset alert edition of the 7-Star Titan. So, consider making an alternative combination using 80% of your regular size bet on the line and then 20% using the money line. Betting a 7-Star amount on just the line is a solid bet too.

The Panthers are coming off a 69-65 home loss to rival Wake Forest. The news is good for this game as they have earned a 17-5 against-the-spread record (ATS) following a loss to a conference rival as a 6-point or greater favorite.

From the predictive side of things, the Panthers are a solid 22-4 ATS for 85% when they have shot 40% or better from the field, shot 30% or better from beyond the arc, and had a higher field goal percentage than the opponent.

Fresno Staste vs New Mexico
11:00 PM EST, January 7, 2020
10-Star Best Bet on Fresno State

The 13-3 New Mexico Lobos have played a far softer schedule than the 5-10 Fresno State Bulldogs. My metrics rank the Lobos as having played the 224th easiest schedule of the 353 Division-1 programs in the nation. They play offense in a fast paced style and rank 26th in the nation averaging 81 points-per-game. What the Bulldogs play well is defense and I strongly believe they will control the pace of the game, minimize the Lobos second chance scoring opportunities by rebounding well and will have fewer turnovers (based on the machine learning summary)

The Bulldogs have four players averaging 12 points-per-game and they rank second in the Mountain West Conference in 3-point shooting making 40 shots in total for the season. They also have six players exceeding 50% in true shooting percentage, which is an efficiency measure that takes into account 2-points, 3-points, and free throw percentages.

From the predictive side, the Bulldogs are projected to have a 0.7 edge in the assist-to-turnover metric and  they are 53-13-1 ATS for 80% winning bets when they have Achieved or exceeded this edge. The assist-to-turnover ration is assists/turnovers and is an excellent measure of a team’s offensive efficiency. A good solid result is to have 2.0 and higher, which is twice as many assists as turnovers.

 
The Raptors are dealing with many injuries to key players and their recent lay on the court reflects that fact. In back to back games, they played their worst and best offensive games in quite a while. In the 84-76 loss at Miami they shot a horrifying 6-for-42 from beyond the arc and then in their last game, they exploded for 73 points in the second half win over the Brooklyn Nets.

In the previous win, Kyle Lowry made five 3-point shots, but that is not good news for tonight. The Raptors are 1-9 ATS as a home favorite following a road game in which Lowry made five or more 3-point shots.

This NBA Basketball betting system has earned a solid 47-25-1 against-the-spread (ATS) record for 65% winning picks. The requirements are to play on struggling teams that have a win percentage between 24 and 44 and are facing an opponent that has a WP between 60 and 75% and the opponent has exceeded the implied vegas line by 30 or more points over their last five games.  DM me on Twitter @JohnRyanSports1 to further explanation of dps and dpa (implied vegas scores) parameters.

Miami (Ohio) vs Bowling Green
7:00 PM EST, January 7, 2020
NCAAM 7-Star Bet on Miami (Ohio)

The Bowling Green Falcons will host their conference foe Miami Red Hawks and someone will end their losing ways and win a game and cover the spread. I strongly believe that the Red hawks will cover the spread and have the potential to earn the upset road victory. So, as an alternative wager consider betting 80% of your normal bet size on the line and then 20% using the money line.

A hundred dollar bettor would bet $80 getting eight points and $20 on the money line, which is currently at +300. If the Red Hawks win the game the bettor will profit $80 from the line bet and $60 for the money line bet. If the Red Hawks co er the spread but lose the game then the bettor would profit $80 from line bet, but lose $20 on the money line bet fvor a net profit of $60. I have found that over the course of the season if these dogs win striaght-up (SU) about 33% or more of the game played the money line bets will add significantly to the return-on-investment (ROI).

·        Miami (Ohio) is 83-47 against-the-spread (ATS) after failing to cover four or five of their last six games since 2006.

·        Bowling Green is an imperfect 0-8 ATS after playing three consecutive games as a favorite the last two seasons.

From the predictive side of things, The Red Hawks are 102-32 SU for 76% wins and 88-25-3 ATS for 78% winning bets since 2006 in games played in which they made at least 42% of their shot attempts and had the better, more efficient assist-to-turnover ratio including 23-1 SU and 15-3 ATS for 83% winning bets since 2017.

Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans
8:00 PM EST, January 6, 2020
NBA 7-Star Bet on the Pelicans

The Pelicans are coming into this game on a hot streak with wins in six of the last eight games In their previous game JJ Redick's tie-breaking layup in the final seconds lifted them to a 117-115 win at Sacramento on Saturday. The Pelicans are finding its own balance on offense and had six players score in double figures while getting double-doubles from Derrick Favors and Lonzo Ball against the Kings. So, even though they have an ugly record they are playing well enough to get back to 0.500 over the next month.

Ball is averaging 24.7 points, 8.3 assists and six rebounds over the last three contests and scored at least 20 points in each after reaching that mark once in his first 25 games. Favors recorded a double-double in each of the last four games and hauled in double-digit rebounds in each of the last eight contests.

This situational betting query has earned an outstanding 58-21-1 ATS record for 75% winning bets over the last five seasons. The query instructs us to play on a team with a win percentage between 20 and 40% on the season and is facing an opponent that has a solid win percentage between 60 and 75% on the season and is coming off two consecutive against-the-spread wins as a favorite.

When this team has been dressed as a home dog the record zooms to 29-7-2 ATS for 81% winning bets.

 
The Morgan State Bears have won three of their last four games and will look to extend their winning ways when they host fellow MEAC member the South Carolina State Bulldogs tonight. The Bulldogs have won two consecutive games and four of their last six games and are coming off an impressive 79-75 win at Coppin State as a 4.5-point underdog.

The Bears are led by Senior guard Stanley Davis, who attended STEM Academy in Chester, PA, and is averaging team-highs with 13.8 points-per-game and 5.8 rebounds-per-game. Sophomore guard Sheryn Devonish-Prince, Jr is second on the team in scoring averaging 11.1 points-per-game including 3.4 rebounds-per-game. They have solid depth coming off the bench and have 69% of the minutes played and 76% of the points scored back on this year’s team.

The Bulldogs are led by a group of Senior players starting with forward Damani Applewhite, who is averaging a team-highs with 13.2 points-per-game and 6.7 rebounds-per-game. He is averaging 30 minutes-per-game and shooting 51% from the field all of which occur in or close to it. They have six other players averaging seven or more points-per-game and rank 4th in the conference averaging 12 assists-per-game. I like how they move the ball on the offense and work to get the best shot possible in each possession.

From the predictive summaries Georgia is 7-2 ATS and 10-0 SU in games in which they score 70 or more points and get 48 or more total rebounds.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Houston Rockets
8:00 PM EST, January 3, 2020

Let us start the research with an outstanding system that has earned a remarkable 36-9 against-the-spread (ATS) 80% winning betting system spanning the last five seasons. The requirements for a validated bet is that we are backing an underdog of 3 to 10 points in a non-conference game and that the team has lost three consecutive road games.

So, the 76ers have lost three road games on this four-game road trip having lost first to the Orlando Magic, then the Miami Heat, and then most recently on New Year’s Even to the Indiana Pacers.

The machine learning tools project that the 76ers wills core at least 111 points and will have the better, more efficient assist-to-turnover ratio. The 76ers are 26-5 ATS for 84% winning bets when they have met or achieved these performance measures in games played since 2015.

Wisconsin vs No. 8 Ohio State
7:00 PM EST, January 3, 2020

This is a matchup that I believe has ‘Upset Alert’ written all over and I recommend betting this game with 90% of your bet on the line and 10% on the money line. 

The story line in this matchup is on Wisconsin Badger and Ohio State transfer Micah Potter. He is a junior forward that has the size and length to contain the Buckeyes power in the post and paint areas. I think he will outplay junior forward Kaleb Wesson and be a big part of the upset win. 

Wesson will have to step up and fill the gap left by junior forward Kyle Young, who is out after having surgery to remove his appendix. Amazingly, he played well, but was extremely sick in the Buckeyes loss to No. 17 West Virginia. 

The Badgers may be just 8-5 SU on the season, but they have put together a solid streak winning four of their last five games with impressive wins over the Indiana Hoosiers and Tennessee Volunteers.

No.4 Oregon vs Colorado
9:00 PM EST

This is a terrific PAC-12 Conference matchup and reflects the depth the conference does have this season. The Oregon Ducks are ranked No. 4 in the country and are a slight favorite to the unranked Colorado Buffalos.

The Buffalos have earned a great start to their season posting 11 wins in 13 games. However, they have done well against-the-spread (ATS) posting a 4-7-1 ATS record for 36% winning bets. Their two losses occurred in back-to-back games against Kansas losing 72-14 and failing to cover as 10.5-point underdogs and next against Northern Iowa by a 79-76 score and were favored by 9.5-points. They are on a current four-game win streak and have covered the spread in three of the last four games.

The Buffalos know how to defeat the Ducks having dominated them 73-51 on February 2 and have earned a 23-6 striaght-up (SU) record since that pivotal win. Although the Ducks have played terrific basketball including a perfect 5-0 SU record in December this is going to be a tough game for them to win.

·        The Buffalos are an outstanding 11-2-1 ATS when hosting an opponent that is averaging 77 or more points-per-game on the season.

·        The Buffalos are 17-9 ATS for 65% when dressed as a home dog since 2006.

Creighton is a near-perfect 10-1 ATS in home games after playing a game as a road underdog over the last three seasons. 

Sophomore guard Marcus Zegarowski was right on his team-leading scoring mark of 18.5 points by finishing with 19 in the win over Midland. Junior guard Ty-Shon Alexander also scored 19 to bounce back from a season-low five-point performance in a win at Arizona State, and he averages 16.5 points while making 34-of-78 from 3-point range. Junior guard Denzel Mahoney, a transfer who averaged 19.3 points for Southeast Missouri State two seasons ago, is averaging 12.7 points since making his debut for the Bluejays three games ago.

No. 11 Butler vs St. Johns
7:30 PM EST, December 31, 2019
Carnesecca Arena, Queens, NY
7-Star Titan on the Butler Bulldogs

The Red Storm will look to push the ball on offense and will look to create many fast break scoring opportunities. The Red Storm ranks 42nd in the nation of the 353 Division-1 basketball programs in scoring offense averaging 80 points-per-game and rank 140th in scoring defense allowing an average of 66.8 points-per-game.

The Bulldogs will look to control the pace of play and keep the Red Storm from getting in sync on the offensive end. Head Coach LaVall Jordan trains his team to think defense first and they have suffocated a team’s offensive power in many of their games. They rank 4th in the country in scoring defense allowing just 53.6 points-per-game. The pace of play is slow as reflected in their 244th ranking in scoring offense averaging 69.2 points-per-game. So, something must give.

The Bulldogs are a veteran-led team that has 67% of the minutes played and 65% of the scoring returning this season from the 2018-19 season. The Red Storm returns 36% of the minutes played and 40% of the scoring from last season. Before conference play begins expereince can play a huge role in games and think the Bulldogs have a huge edge in this matchup.

·        The Bulldogs are a solid 18-7-1 ATS (72%) after a game in which they held their opponent to 33% or worse shooting in games played since 2010.

o   14-5-1 ATS (74%) following a game they were favored and held the opponent to 33% or worse shooting.

Texas-Rio Grande Valley vs Oklahoma
7:00 PM EST, December 30, 2019
7-Star Best Bet on the TRGV Vaqueros

This is the first time in my life I am betting on the Texas-Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros. You may not have even heard of them, but they have run a collegiate-level basketball program for 52 seasons, are a current member of the WAC, and have been members of the Great West Conference (GWC), Sun Belt, American South Conference (ASC), Trans American Athletic Conference (TAAC) and is now known as the Atlantic Sun Conference, and as an independent. They simply have not played in games that have been put on the NCAA odds boards, but with the advances in technology it is easier for sportsbooks to provide these games.

What I like most about the Vaqueros is their ball handling and how they work the ball in the half-court sets looking to get the best possible shot in each possession. They average 14.2 assists-per-game, which is solid and ranks 133th in the country.

They are a team that will be bet on more than just this one time. They have several promising freshman on this roster that are making steady progress and with increasing contributions. They are led by Senior guard Jordan Jackson, who is averaging 14.7 points-per-game and Senior forward Lesly Varner, Jr, who is averaging 12.1 points-per-game. This Senior leadership is invaluable to the freshman and will help the team reach their season potential. I am not suggesting that will be a Tournament team this year, but I do think the program is on the right track to someday accomplishing that for the first time in their program history.

This situational query has earned a terrific 25-12-1 against-the-spread (ATS) record good for 68% winning bets over the last 15 seasons. The requirements are to bet on underdogs of at least 20 points that have a losing record on the season and are now facing an opponent, who is coming off a close home win of three or fewer points.

The system has earned a 75% ATS record of 15-5 over the last five seasons. It is 2-3 ATS this season, 5-0 ATS for 2018, 3-1 ATS in 2017, 2-1 ATS in 2016, and 3-0 ATS in 2015.

Oklahoma City vs Toronto
6:00 PM EST
7-Star bet on the Thunder

This situational betting system has earned a solid 42-14 against-the-spread record good for 75% winning bets over the last five seasons. The system requires us to bet on road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a non-conference matchup with the host coming off a road upset win installed as an underdog.

 From the predictive side of things, the Thunder are 63-11 ATS for 85% winning bets and have covered the spread by an average of 11 points-per-game when they have shot 46% or better from the field and had the better, more efficient assists-to-turnover ratio in road games.

Cal Poly-SLO vs San Diego State

7:00 PM EST, December 28, 2019

7-Star Best bet on Cal Poly-SLO

Undefeated and No. 15-ranked San Diego State wraps up its non-conference slate on Saturday, hosting Cal Poly at Viejas Arena. SDST is one of three remaining undefeated teams in the nation and will remain undefeated after this game, but this si just far too many points to give to even a struggling program like Cal Poly-SLO.

The Wolves are a solid 19-11-1 ATS when allowing an opponent to shoot between 43 and 47% form the field and make between 32 and 37% of their 3-point shot attempts over the last five seasons.

The Lakers are 2-14 ATS for 12% wins when they have had the worse assist-to-turnover ratio and shot between 32 and 37% from beyond the arc.

Take the Clippers

Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers
7-Star bet on the 76ers

Here is a Terrific Betting System
This situational betting system has earned a solid 48-20 ATS for 71% winning bets over the last five seasons.  Play on home teams with a winning record on the season and are facing another winning record team that have posted three consecutive against-ther-spread (ATS) wins as a favorite.

Milwaukee has won 21 of its last 22 games, including a 117-89 destruction of the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. They are going to have a much more difficult test against the 76ers.

Philadelphia went into a  three-game slide featured teams playing zone defense and relying on the 76ers to miss shots. And the 76ers missed shots. However, they have found a formula to defeat the zone with point guard Ben Simmons crashing the lane and collapsing defenses. Simmons finished with 16 points, a career-high 17 assists and 13 rebounds in Monday's 125-109 win at Detroit to record his 24th career triple-double. He is the best point guard in the NBA going to the rim as no other defensive guard can stop him due to his height and length. Look for him to have a huge game today.

Boston vs Toronto
12:00 PM EST
7-Star Best Bet on the Toronto Raptors

Merry Christmas.

The Boston Celtics have several players capable of taking over a game offensively, and Jayson Tatum is taking his turn to star of late. Tatum and the Celtics will try to push the current winning streak to four in a row when they visit the depleted Toronto Raptors in a Christmas Day showdown.

Tatum scored 22 of his career-high 39 points in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 119-93 win over the Charlotte Hornets and is averaging 29.7 points during the three-game winning streak. However, these types of winning ways are not sustainable and I do expect the Raptors bench to play an excellent game.

This situational betting system has earned a solid 30-13 against-the-spread (ATS) for 70% winning bets over the last five seasons. Play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after going over the total by 42 or more points total in their last five games and with the game being played in the month of December.

Xavier vs Texas Christian
7-Star Best Bet Titan on Xavier

The Big-12 Conference Xavier Musketeers have started their 2019-20 campaign in fine fashion posting a 10-2 SU record but have not well against the spread sporting a college fund draining 3-9 ATS mark.

The Big-12 Conference TCU Horned Frogs have started 8-2 SU but have not well against the spread posting a 3-6 ATS record.

The Musketeers Quentin Goodin is coming off a fantastic game scoring 25 points on 9-for-11 shooting in a 74-61 win over Western Carolina University. This is a break-out game for Goodin, who is averaging 8.4 points-per-game on the season.

The Musketeers are led by Junior forward Naji Marshall, who has a team-high 17 points-per-game including 6 rebounds-per-game. They have excellent depth and experience given that 61% of the minutes played and 65% of the points scored from last season are on this roster.

This betting system has earned a solid 40-15 ATS record spanning the last 15 seasons. The system requires us to bet on road teams that are facing an average 3-point shooting team making between 32 and 37% and are a struggling 3-point shooting team making less than 32% and after the host has had two consecutive games allowing a shooting percentage of 37% or less.

Ohio State vs Kentucky
7-Star bet on the Ohio State Buckeyes

This is marquee matchup of two of the best teams in the nation competing at a neutral site. Both teams have been upset, though, in the past week, but I believe both teams will bounce back with solid efforts in a game that will be enjoyable to watch.

How Good Are the Buckeyes?
The Ohio State Buckeyes are off to a 10-1 straight-up (SU) start to their season. They have earned a solid 8-3 against-the-spread (ATS) record, and the ‘UNDER’ bet has posted an 8-3 record. Their only loss occurred last Sunday when they traveled to Big-Ten Conference foe Minnesota and lost 84-71 and failed to cover the spread by 20 points.

The Buckeyes bounced back against a weak opponent with an 80-48 win over Southeast Missouri State and covered the spread by three points. However, they looked sloppy as evidenced by their 21 turnovers and must take care of the ball against a strong Kentucky Wildcats defense.

The Wildcats are off to an 8-2 SU start to their season and have posted a 4-6 ATS record with the ‘UNDER’ bet sporting a 7-3 record. They have had a pair of three-point losses to Evansville back on November 12 and in their last game facing Utah this past Tuesday.

This year’s edition of the Wildcats is a power team and do not look to shoot the three-point shot. They rank 343rd of the 353 Division-1 programs averaging 15.3 3-point shot attempts-per-game and 334th making an average of just 27.5% of those 3-point shot attempts. This lack of perimeter shooting is more than offset by their ability draw fouls and get to the charity stripe. The Wildcats rank fifth averaging 18.2 free-throws-per-game and seventh with a 79.5% free-throw-percentage.

So, what are the Strengths in This Matchup?

The Buckeyes will look to stretch the Wildcat defense with their elite sharp shooting from beyond the arc, which in turn will open the paint are for post-ups and drives to the rim. They rank 18th with a 49% overall shooting percentage and fifth making an average of 41.6% of their three-point-shot-attempts.

The Buckeyes are the better rebounding team and I fully expect them to minimize the Wildcats second chance scoring opportunities.

The Buckeyes are led by Junior forward Kaleb Wesson, who is averaging a team-high 14.3 points-per-game, and 9.0 rebounds-per-game. The Buckeyes have great depth with eight players averaging at least eight points-per-game on the season. If the Wildcats, try to take away Wesson there will be a host of Buckeyes that can step up and score points.

Here is a Terrific Betting System
This situational betting system has earned a solid 61-25 ATS for 70% winning bets over the last five seasons. The system instructs us to bet on favorites of 3 to 10 points after beating the spread by 48 or more points in total over their last seven games and has a win percentage of at least 80% on the season.

Here is a final Tip-In that shows the Best Bet NCAA Basketball Pick should be on the Buckeyes as they are a solid 13-3 ATS when facing a team that averages six or more free throw-attempts-per-game then their opponents.

So, we have the Aggies on a downward performance stretch and the Bulls playing increasingly better and is why I like the underdog Bulls in this matchup.

·       The Bulls are 11-1 ATS when facing excellent offensive teams that are averaging 77 or more points-per-game in games played over the last two seasons.

The key is discipline and having a longer-term view knowing that the profits will come and it is a grind over the course of that season or calendar year.  Remember that as documented by Sports Capping (not me), Dime Players are up over $45,000 for the 2019 calendar year and there are pullbacks in the profits made

Let us start with a situational betting system that has hit 75% ATS for a 36-12 ATS record since 2006. Play on road dogs of 4.5 or more points that held their previous opponent to less than 30% shooting and is now facing an opponent that has made 47% or more of their shots in each of their last three games.

Phoenix vs the Clippers
NBA: 7-Star bet on the Phoenix Suns

This situational betting system has earned a remarkable 45-22-1 ATS record good for 67% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on struggling teams that have win percentage between 24 and 44 and are facing an opponent that has a WP between 60 and 75% and the opponent has exceeded the implied Vegas line by 30 or more points over their last five games.  DM me on Twitter @JohnRyanSports1 to further explanation of dps and dpa parameters.

Some Background Info:
Deandre Ayton returns from a 25-game suspension for testing positive for a diuretic when the Phoenix Suns visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. Ayton was the NBA's third-best rookie last year but played only this season's opener before being suspended the next day.

Ayton, who averaged 16.3 points and 10.3 rebounds last season, is eager to return and has regrets about the situation. “Most of all, I disappointed everybody that’s in my circle and I started to just think to myself how my career is gonna be in that one moment, in that one call,” Ayton told Fox Sports Arizona in regard of getting the suspension call from the NBA office. Los Angeles had a four-game winning streak halted Saturday when it suffered a 109-106 road loss to the Chicago Bulls. Star forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) sat out that setback on the second end of a back-to-back and will be back on the floor against Phoenix.

Booker scored 30 points as the Suns broke a 12-game losing streak to the Clippers with a 130-122 home victory Oct. 26.e

From the predictive machine learning tools the Suns are a stout 28-9 ATS covering the spread by an average of 8 points-per-game for 76% winning bets when they have been a road dog, had the better and more efficient assist-to-turnover ratio by a margin of at least 1.1 and had 14 or fewer turnovers.

Orlando vs Utah
8:05 PM EST.
7-Star Titan bet on the Orlando Magic

This betting system has earned a 77-40 ATS record good for 66% winning bets over the last five seasons.  Play against home favorites (Utah in this case) in non-conference games, off a home no-cover (Push) or ATS loss where the team won straight up as a favorite.

From the predictive toolshed  and supporting the upset alert is the fact that the Magic are resounding 15-7 against the money line (+15.8 Units per unit wagered) when they commit three to five fewer turnovers than their opponents over the last two seasons. The Utah Jazz are a money-burning 2-6 against the money line (-9.7 Units per unit wagered) when they commit three to five more turnovers than their opponents this season.

Magic are near-perfect 16-3 ATS in road games when they commit three to five fewer turnovers than their opponents over the last three seasons.

Nebraska-Omaha vs Eastern Washington
 9:05 PM EST.

7-Star Best Bet on Eastern Washington

This situational betting system has earned an outstanding 52-14 against the spread (ATS) for 79% winning bets since 2015. The requirements are to play on home favorites of 3 to 10 points and are a dominant team outscoring their opponents by 12 or more points-per-game and after leading in their last game by 20 or more points at the half.

EWU is also a solid 10-2 ATS facing poor foul drawing teams that are attempting 18 or fewer free throws-per-game over the last three seasons.

7-STAR TITAN BET ON THE NORTHEASTERN HUSKIES

 Due to available time during the holidays these reports are shorter than normal. It does not in any way diminish the strength of the play identified. If you are one of the many new clients welcome on board. To refresh, a 7-Star graded play is recommended to be your normal bet size. A 5-Star is recommended to be 30% less than your 7-Star amount, and 10-Star is 30% more than your 7-Star normal bet size. The key is discipline and having a longer-term view knowing that the profits will come and it is a grind over the course of that season or calendar year.  Remember that as documented by Sports Capping ( not me), Dime Players are up over $45,000 for the 2019 calendar year and there are bullbacks in the profits made just as their pullbacks in a bullish chart picture of Apple Computer. Any questions send me a direct message to me @JohnRyanSports1

EMU is 5-16 ATS when facing excellent 3 point shooting teams that are making44-68 ATS (-30.8 Units) after 2 or more consecutive wins; 41% or more of their attempts; 22-42 ATS after playing two consecutive games as favorite; 44-68 ATS after two or more consecutive wins. 

EMU head coach Murphy is 4-15 ATS when facing very good shooting teams making a minimum of 48% of their shots as the coach of EMU.

NE has played a vastly more difficult schedule than what EMU has faced to date and that ‘seasoning’ will benefit the Huskies greatly in this matchup. 

Dallas vs Milwaukee
8:05 PM EST.
7-Star Titan bet on the Milwaukee Bucks

This betting system has earned a 37-13 ATS record good for 74% winning bets over the last five seasons.  Play against underdogs (Dallas in this matchup) after going over the total by more than 24 points in their previous game, a good team with a win percentage between 60% to 75% playing a team with a winning record.

Milwaukee is 8-0 ATS after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half this season.

From the predictive tool box we see that Milwaukee is 25-12 ATS when they make 48% to 51% of their shots in a game over the last two seasons. Milwaukee is 31-14 ATS when their opponents make 32% to 38% of their 3-pointers in a game over the last two seasons.

Marist vs Rider
Alumni Gymnasium
7:00 PM EST.
NCAA Betting Odds: Rider -14.5 (-110)

7-Star Best Bet on Marist Red Foxes

The Marist Red Foxes travel to New Jersey to take on the Rider Broncos in a MAAC Conference matchup. This is just too many points to be giving the one-win Red Foxes and there is significant value in betting on them tonight. I am looking at the final score being a Rider win, but by single digits.

This betting system is a solid one having earned a 59-26 ATS record good for 69% winning bets over the last 15 seasons. The requirements that need to be met are that we are betting in underdog between 10 and 20 points after they have gone under the posted total by a combined 25 or more total points in their last three games, has a win percentage of 20% or lower, and is playing a team with a win percentage of at least 65% on the season.

Rider is just 5-14 ATS against conference opponents in game splayed over the last 2 two seasons.
Rider is 0-6 ATS in home games when playing only their second game in eight days over the last three seasons.

NC State vs UNC Greensboro
Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC
3:00 PM EST.
7-Star Titan bet on the UNC Greensboro Spartans
 

This betting system has earned a 36-10 ATS record good for 78% winning bets over the last 20 seasons. Play against a favorite (NC STATE) after going over the total by more than six points in four consecutive games and is facing an opponent after going under the total by 42 or more points total in their last five games.

The UNC Greensboro Spartans have an excellent under rated defense and they are facing a NC State Wolfpack team that may be playing without their best offensive player. Jericole Hellems suffered a concussion from a sever crash to the floor and based on published reports will be a game-time decision. I do not think he will play given that the Wolfpack rank 18th nationally in scoring offense averaging 82.8 PPG and have solid bench players to fill in for Hellems.

It will be the Spartans defense and rebounding though that will win this game. The Spartans are 7-0 when outrebounding their opponent this season. They also rank 23rd in the nation averaging 5.5 blocks per game with Kyrin Galloway and James Dickey each averaging more than 2.0 blocks-per-game.

7-Star Best Bet on the Miami Heat
NBA: Miami vs Dallas
8:30 PM EST, December 14, 2019

Shortened report due to time today.

This situational betting system (query) has earned a solid 86-46 ATS record good for 65% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (Dallas in this matchup) in non-conference games with the team off a road win by 10 or more points.

Miami is a near-perfect 12-1 ATS against Southwest division opponents over the last two seasons.

From the predictive bucket Miami is 16-6 ATS in road games where both teams score 105 or more points in a game over the last two seasons. Miami is 160-63 ATS when they score 106 to 111 points in a game since 1996.

 This is a matchup of Horizon Conference teams and two extremely good players that are coming off excellent games. WGB Phoenix Amari Davis shot 12-for-14 from the field and scored 25 points over 32 minutes including two assists, four rebounds, and tw0 blocked shots. Evansville Purple Aces Deandre Williams scored 37 points on 17-for-18 shooting and scored 37 points in 34 minutes including three assists, 10 rebounds, and three blocked shots. So, this will be an entertaining game to watch.

The Phoenix play faster than the Purple Aces and shoot a higher percentage. The Phoenix average 65 shot attempts per game and are making 46% of those shots. The Purple Aces average 58 shot attempts-per-game and are hitting 45% of the shots. So the shooting percentages are close, but the Phoenix attempt more of them.

The Phoenix have superior ball movement as well. They rank 11th in the nation averaging 17.1 assist-per-game. The Purple Aces rank 277th averaging just 13.8 assists-per-game and reflects too many isolation possessions with the play clocking winding down.

·        The Phoenix are 8-1 ATS in home games facing good ball handling teams committing 14 or fewer turnovers-per-game in games played over the last two seasons.

·        Darner is 10-2 ATS in home games after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games.

Georgia Tech’s sophomore guard Michael Devoe has scored 20-plus points five times and is shooting an ACC-best 52.9 percent from 3-point range. He did finished just 2-for-12 from the field against Syracuse. Senior forward/center James Banks III did not block a shot last week and fell from the top spot in the nation’s rankings, but entered the weekend averaging four blocks per game (third nationally) along with 11.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Junior forward Moses Wright is shooting 55.6 percent from the field and has averaged 15.7 points and 10 rebounds across his past three games.

That trio of athletes is the dominant reason I see this game staying close and ending in a single-digit Kentucky win. There is a minimal probability that we will see a shocking upset, so it would be a wise idea to bet no more than a 1-Star play on the money line, which is currently priced at +900.

A Few Extra Points:

·        GT is a near-perfect 9-1 ATS in road games when facing excellent teams that are outscoring their opponents by 8or more points-per-game over the last two seasons.

·        GT is 13-3 ATS off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite.

Memphis vs Tennessee
3:00 PM EST, December 14, 2019
7-Star Titan Bet on the Tennessee Volunteers
 
The No. 13 Memphis Tigers will be visiting Knoxville to play the No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers in a huge showdown in the state of Tennessee. Both teams have just a single loss with the Tigers earning eight wins and the Vols seven wins. The Tigers are 5-3-1 against the spread (ATS) and the ‘OVER’ bet is 5-4 in these games. The Vols are 4-4 ATS and the “UNDER’ bet has earned a 4-3-1 record in these games.

This game will be won by Tennessee on the glass. The Tigers remain one of the best rebounding teams in the nation, but have been out-boarded in four of their last five games.  Losing their stud James Wiseman and his 11 rebounds-per-game have hurt them significantly. The Vols have been out rebounded once in a game they won over Washington, but lost the boards 42-32. For the season, the Vols are outrebounding their opponents by an average 11 rebounds-per-game.

The Vols rank 14th-best in the nation allowing opponents to reboubd just 22% of their offensive missed shots. The Tigers thrive on the offensive glass getting second chance scoring opportunities on 34% of their possessions, but again without the presence of Wiseman, this stat has been on the decline. So, I strongly believe that the Vols will limit the Tiger’s second chance scoring opportunities and that will go a long way to the Vols winning this game by double digits.

You will see the Tigers looking to play extremely fast in this game given that they rank 11th in the nation with an average possession time of only 14.8 seconds. They rank 10th in the nation in adjusted tempo, which takes the number of possessions per game divided by the minutes and adjusted  by the preferred pace of play of their opponent and when the game was played.

The Tigers pace of play will work against them against a fundamentally solid Vols defense. Further, the Vols rank 303rd out of 353 Division-1 programs and 256th with a an average possession time of 18 seconds. The Tigers have played two teams that rank lower than the Vols in adjusted tempo. They lost to Oregon 82-74, failed to cover the spread as a four-point underdog, and hot a miserable 37.7% from the field. In the second game, which was their last game, they defeated UAB 65-57 and pushed the spread as an eight-point favorite, and shot 37.9% from the field. Bit of a trend there in the matchups I would say.

This situational betting system reinforces the bet on the Volunteers and has earned a 52-12 (81%) against the spread (ATS) record over the last five seasons and requires us to bet on  home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are top caliber teams outscoring their opponents by 12 or more points-per-game, after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half.

New York vs Sacramento
10:05 PM EST, December 12, 2019
7-Star Titan on the Knicks
 
This situational betting system reinforces the bet on the Knicks and has earned a 35-10 (78%) against the spread (ATS) record over the last 20 seasons and requires us to bet on road underdogs that are coming off two consecutive games allowing 100 or more points and are facing an opponent that ihas earned three straight wins by six or fewer points.

The No. 24 ranked Buffalos will take on their state rival Rams at Moby Arena in Fort Collins tonight. The game will be televised on CBSSN.

The Buffalos won their first seven games of the season and then hit abrupt wall in the form the Kansas Jayhawks losing 72-58, and failed to cover the spread by 3.5-points. In their last game, the sting of that loss was still wearing on the Buffalos as they played poorly in a 79-76 loss to Northern Iowa. So, you can trust that head coach TAD Boyle will have his team fully prepared for this game.

The Buffalos have terrific depth on their return. They have returned 94% of the minutes played and 95% of the scoring from last season’s team.

They are led by Junior guard Tyler Bey, who is averaging 13.0 points-per-game (PPG) and 13 reboubnds-per-game (RPG). They play a three guard lineup most of the time with Junior guard McKinley Wright IV averaging 12.3 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 3.8 assists-per-game (APG) and Junior guard D’Shawn Schwartz adding 10.3 PPG, 2./7 RPG, and 1.8 APG). This trio is going to be difficult for the Rams to defend for the entire game.

A Few Extra Points:

·        Buffalos are 78-48 against the spread (ATS) after two or more consecutive losses over the last 20 seasons.

o   They went a perfect 5-0 ATS last season in this role.

·        The Rams are a money-burning 6-17 ATS after playing a game as favorite over the last three seasons.

·        Buffalos are a perfect 13-0 ATS having lost their last two or more games and have failed to cover the spread in their previous three or more games.

Let us begin with this situational betting system that has earned a solid 90-52 ATS mark over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet against a road team that is outscoring their opponents by 3 or more points-per-game and is facing a host that scored 90 or fewer points in their previous game.

James Harden will put his high-scoring ways up against one the league's better defensive teams when he leads the Houston Rockets into a Friday night matchup at the Orlando Magic. Harden elevated his NBA-leading scoring average to 38.7 with 55 in a 116-110 victory at Cleveland on Wednesday.

The Cavs scored 24 consecutive points, before Harden took over the game in the fourth quarter by scoring 20 points and helping greatly to erase an 11-point deficit. But it does show that the Rockets can be defeated and I strongly believe that the Magic has that stifling style of defense that can present many problems for the Rockets dynamic offense.

·        The Magic are 23-10 ATS after having won four or five of their last six games over the last two seasons.

o   23-9 ATS after covering the spread in four or five of their last six games over the last two seasons.

·        The Magic are a solid 161-80 ATS when they score 106 to 111 points in a game spanning the last 20 seasons.
