Wake Forest.

ACC GOW.

Game 713.

4:00 pm pst.

Wake Forest is a very motivated team. With one more victory the Demon Deacons will be just the thirteenth team in the nation to reach 20-wins. They also sit tied for second-place in the ACC. And with a big week here they should be able to crack the top-25. In every major offensive category, they are significantly superior to the Wolfpack. The disparity between the stellar Wake Forest offense and the poor NC State defense is huge. The Demon Deacons hit 48.7% from the floor to account for over 79.3 PPG. The Wolfpack yield 46.7% shooting, allowing 75.2 PPG. Look for the trio of Williams, LaRavia, and Williamson (47.8 PPG, 15.8 RPG, 9.9 APG, 3.7 SPG combined) to take this game over. NC State is 5-20-1 ATS the last 26 games played at home, 1-5 ATS the last six game splayed vs. teams with a winning record, 0-4 ATS the last four games played as a ‘dog, and 7-20 ATS the last 27 games played overall.

Syracuse.

CRASH THE BOARDS PLAY.

Game 647.

5:00 pm pst.

The Boeheim’s are heating up as the Orange have strung together three SU wins and covers for the first time this season. They have had their way with the Eagles taking the last six meetings in a row SU and going 5-1 ATS. Look for the accurate 26th ranked three-point shooting Orange to shred the 327th ranked BC three-point defense. The favorite is 8-1 ATS the last nine meetings in this series. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS the last five game splayed vs. teams with a losing record and 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take the Orange. Thank you.

Marquette.

SLAM DUNK PLAY.

Game 605.

3:30 pm pst.

UConn has hit a wall losing their last two outings SU and their last three ATS. Marquette is one of the hottest teams in the nation winning eight of their lats nine contests SU and getting bettors paid covering nine in a row. The road team is 7-2 ATS the last nine meetings in this series. The Golden Eagles are 7-0 ATS the last seven games played as an underdog, 6-0 ATS the last six games played on the road, and 8-0 ATS the last eight games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take Marquette. Thank you.

FAU.

CUSA GOW.

Game 604.

3:00 pm pst.

The conference’s top-team, FAU (7-3) comes in here winning three in a row and six of their last seven SU, covering seven of their last eight outings. Offensively the Owls are just too much for the Monarchs to handle with their three double-digit scoring starters. Old Dominion is 0-4 ATS the last four games played as a ‘dog and 2-5 ATS the last seven games played overall. Florida Atlantic is 4-0 ATS the last four games played as a fav and 20-8 ATS the last 28 games played at home. Take FAU. Thank you.

UNCW.

CAA GOW.

Game 871.

2:00 pm pst.

Not only does the Seahawks top the CAA with a 10-1 league mark, but they are getting bettors paid covering 12 of their last 13 contests. Their defense is frustrating opponents allowing a big edge in transition here. They took down the Pride, 78-72 just nine days ago at home. UNCW swarmed Hofstra on the perimeter holding them to just 3-18 from beyond the arc and tallied seven blocks. Now they are getting 7.5 points. The Seahawks are 8-0 ATS the last eight games played as a ‘dog, 6-1 ATS the last seven games played on the road, and 6-0 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take UNCW. Thank you.

Providence.

EGW.

Game 835.

9:00 am pst.

The top conference re faces its bottom rep. At 9-1 in league action, Providence is cutting through the Big East and face a Georgetown team that happens to be winless in conference play. The Friars bested the Hoyas 83-75 about three weeks ago to give them their seventh win in the last 10 meetings in this rivalry. G’Town is on a 10-game losing streak and just won’t be able to score on the swarming Providence defense. The road team is 9-4 ATS the last 13 meetings in this series. The Friars are 6-1 ATS the last seven games played on the road. The Hoyas are 1-5 ATS the last six games played at home. Take Providence. Thank you.

Oregon.

Pac-12 GOW.

Game 807.

5:30 pm pst.

On both sides of the courts, Oregon outclasses Utah. They are also healthy, have taken eight consecutive meetings in this series SU, going 7-1 ATS, and enter today’s contest winning and covering their last three road outings. Utah gets caught in a “let down” spot here following their first win after a 10-game losing streak. The fav is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series. The Ducks are 4-1 ATS the last five games played following a SU win and 5-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Utah is 0-4 ATS the last four game splayed following a SU win and 3-8 ATS the last 11 games played as a road ‘dog. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Miami.

OM play.

Game 723.

2:00 pm pst.

This line should be a pick ‘em folks. Virginia has been unable to strong together back-to-back victories for a month now. Their defense just can’t compensate for their lack of offense anymore. Miami has a quartet of outstanding guards that are all averaging or flirting with double-digits. The ‘Canes will control the tempo and the Cavaliers just won’t be able to keep pace offensively here. The ’dog is 4-1 ATS the lats five meetings in this series. Miami is 10-1 ATS the last 11 games played as a road ‘dog. Virginia is 1-6 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take the Hurricanes. Thank you.

Wake Forest.

EGW.

Game 609.

9:00 am pst.

Following a four-game win and cover streak, Wake Forest was routed by Syracuse on Saturday. The Demon Deacons bounced back to thump the Panthers on Wednesday. The met the Seminoles in the beginning of January and shredded them, 76-54 besting them on every part of the court. This is a healthy team putting gup over 79.8 PPG on 48.8% shooting. The Wake Forest sting-five just plain outclass their adversary here. Look for the Demon Deacons to once again devour the Seminoles on the boards. Wake Forest is 4-1 ATS the last five games played as a road ‘dog and 5-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Florida State is 0-4 ATS the last four games played as a fav and 3-8 ATS the last 11 games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take the Demon Deacons. Thank you.

SD State.

MWC GOW.

Game 891.

6:00 pm pst.

CSU still isn’t looking as sharp as prior to their three-week December layoff. Despite wins through most of January, the Rams lost and failed to cover their most-recent contests, getting shredded 88-74 by the Rebels (as a 14-poit fav) and losing in OT, 84-78 to the Cowboys (as a 1.5-point fav). San Diego State is playing some very solid basketball, winning seven of their last nine SU and going 6-3 ATS. They have had their way in this series, winning seven of the last eight meetings SU and going 6-2 against the spread. This includes a 79-49 thumping back on January 8. The Rams are 0-3-1 ATS the last four games played following a SU loss, 0-4 ATS the last four games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 1-4 ATS the last five games played at home. Take the Aztecs. Thank you.

IPFW.

SLAM DUNK.

Game 890.

4:00 pm pst.

Milwaukee, which has been hit with a bit of an injury bug, is on a three-game slide both SU and ATS. Following a 4-1 SU and ATS run at home, PFW lost and failed to cover both road outings. The Mastodons now return home with their trio of high-scoring guards (15.8, 12.8, 9.5 PPG) to face a Panthers team that has trouble on the road, losing and failing to cover four straight as a guest. PFW is 4-0 ATS the last four games played as a home fav, 9-2 ATS the last 11 games played following a SU loss, and 8-3 ATS the last 11 games played overall. Take the Mastodons. Thank you.

Memphis Grizzlies.

Best Bet.

Game 863.

4:40 pm pst.

Memphis despite coming off a loss and no cover, is still one of the best ATS teams in the NBA at 34-19 against the spread. Ja Morant and the NBA’s 4th ranked scoring offense are just too much for New York’s struggling shooters. The team ranks 27th in both scoring (104.1 PPG) and FG% (43.7%). Not only does the Grizzlies possess the offensive prowess to make the outcome quite ugly here, they also outclass the Knicks at both ends of the courts on the boards. Memphis is 14-4 ATS the last 18 games played on the road, 5-0 ATS the last five games played following an ATS loss, and 13-4 ATS the last 17 games played overall. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you.

49ERS.

NFC GAME OF THE YEAR.

GAME 323.

3:40 PM PST.

San Francisco has beaten Los Angeles six straight meetings, covering five of the six, including four straight. We all know this. And so do both the 49ers and the Rams. It can’t but help boost the confidence in San Fran coming into this matchup. And moreover, it can’t but put further pressure on the minds of L.A. Both have outstanding passing attacks. But the Rams pass defense is a bit shaky. So, I give an advantage to the 49ers. Offensively, Los Angeles doesn’t really run the ball with all that much success. I mean folks, they average under a hundred yards per game on the ground. This makes them very vulnerable to the ferocious San Francisco pass rush which has wreaked havoc on their offense in both earlier meetings. So, I give another advantage to the 49ers. San Fran does own a top-10 rushing attack and will stress the run here thus allowing them to control the clock and the tempo, keeping the L.A. defense on the field, and most importantly, Stafford and their offense off the field. I think both teams without question deserve to be here. But I give a real edge to Jimmy G and the 49ers for sure. So, giving them 3.5 points, to me offers an incredible amount of value to us bettors. The ‘dog is 6-0 ATS the last six meetings. The 49ers are 5-1 ATS last six as a road ‘dog and 16-5 ATS the last 21 in the month of January. Take the 3.5 and bank on it. Take San Francisco. Thank you.  

CHIEFS.

AFC GAME OF THE YEAR.

GAME 322.

12:05 pm pst.

When these two teams met on January 2, the Bengals prevailed, 34-31. Following the game, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes gave each other a handshake. Mahomes uttered five words…”See you in the playoffs.” Burrow is 2-0 in NFL postseason play. Mahomes owns an 8-2 career playoff record, including a 7-1 mark at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bengals OL allowed nine sacks in last week’s outing. To make matters worse, they claimed just one sack on Ryan Tannehill. The lack of playoff experience for their QB is significant. The breakdown of their offensive line is significant. Going on the road to KC (playing here is much different than playing at Tennessee) is significant. Throw in the mix that Cincy doesn’t run the ball with too much success makes the aforementioned issues even more significant. Then there is the play of Mahomes. The QB has taken his game to another level. With the momentum following last week’s OT win, the Chiefs roll here. Kansas City is 6-0 ATS the last six games played at home, 6-1 ATS the last seven playoff games played at home, 7-2 ATS the last nine games played vs. the AFC, and 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take the Chiefs. Thank you.  

Wake Forest.

CONTRARIAN Play.

Game 769.

5:00 pm pst.

Wake Forest is surging, winning four consecutive conference matchups against Virginia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, and Boston College, covering all four as well. The took down Syracuse in OT three weeks ago. The Orange are having serious problems on a 2-7 SU run (4-5 ATS). Williams, LaRavia, and Williamson will once again have their way with the Boheim’s. The Demon Deacons are 4-0 ATS the last four games played as a road ‘dog and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a losing record. The Orange are 4-17 ATS the last 21 games played at home vs. teams with a winning road record and 1-4 ATS the last five games played on Saturday. Take Wake Forest. Thank you.

UAB.

OM Play.

Game 757.

4:00 pm pst.

The top Group B team in the conference takes on the bottom Group a team here. UAB is 7-1 in Conf USA play while Marshall is 0-7 in league action. The Blazers have won and covered the last four meetings with the Thundering Herd by an average of 10.5 PPG. They own some of the nation’s most impressive offensive numbers including ranking 17th in scoring, accounting for over 80.5 PPG. Marshall ranks 332nd nationally, getting plowed for over 76.3 PPG on defense. The favorite is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings. The Blazers are 9-2-1 ATS the last 12 meetings vs. teams with a winning percentage under .400, 4-1-1 ATS the last six games played on the road, and 6-2-1 ATS the last nine games played overall. The Thundering Herd are 0-5-1 ATS the last six meetings vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, 1-14-3 ATS the last 21 games played at home, and 5-19-3 ATS the last 27 games played overall. Take UAB. Thank you.

ACC EGW.

Game 607.

9:00 am pst.

Duke sits with Notre Dame just behind Miami in the ACC. The Blue Devils want conference wins to give Coach K another ACC title before he departs. The Team is winning and covering. The Cardinals are not. With a 1-5 SU run and a 1-8-1 ATS skid, Louisville is sinking lower in league standing and crushing bettors. Offensively, defensively, and on the boards, Duke is far superior. The Cardinals are 2-10 ATS the last 12 games played as an underdog and 1-4 ATS the last five games played at home. Take the Blue devils. Thank you.

Memphis.

OM Play.

Game 564.

4:40 pm pst.

Utah is missing a few of their best players. Mitchell and Gobert, who account for a combined 31.5 PPG, 19.1 RPG, 6.4 APG, and 2.5 BPG are out. This doesn’t bode well for the Jazz which face Ja Morant and the 6th ranked scoring offense of the Grizzlies. Memphis is red-hot, winning 14 of their last 17 outings and covering 13 of those 17. The Jazz are 0-6-1 ATS the last seven games played on one day rest, 2-7-1 ATS the last 10 games played as an underdog, and 5-15-2 ATS the last 22 games played overall. The Grizzlies are 6-2 ATS the last eight games played on one day rest, 6-1 ATS the last seven games played as a favorite, and 5-1 ATS the last six games played at home. Take Memphis. Thank you.

Iowa.

BIG TEN GOW.

Game 824.

6:00 pm pst.

Purdue comes in here the 6th ranked team in the nation. But when they hit the road, they have problems. The Boilermakers are just 2-2 SU as a guest this season going 1-3 ATS. As a matter of fact, the home team is 16-6 ATS the last 22 meetings in this conference rivalry. Leading scorer, Jaden Ivey sat the last games due to a hip issue and is listed as questionable here. The team’s strength is their offense. But Iowa ranks 5th nationally is scoring, accounting for over 83.1 PPG and are better at the FT line. That’s big here as you can expect a very physical contest. The Hawkeyes have covered the last two meetings including an early December matchup. The team is healthy and possess one of the strongest front courts in the conference. Forward Keegan Murray (22.8 PPG, 8.4 RPG) is the best player on the court here. Iowa is 5-1 ATS the last games played as a home ‘dog and 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played following a SU win. Purdue is 0-4 ATS the last four games played as a road fav and 2-5 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take the Hawkeyes. Thank you.

FAU.

OM PLAY.

Game 839.

6:00 pm pst.

The wrong team is favored here. The Owls should be at last a 2-point fav. They possess a much stringer and deeper offense and on both sides of the court will own the boards. FAU has taken four consecutive meetings in this series both SU and ATS by an average of 7.25 PPG. Look for 7’1” center, Goldin to go uncontested here. The ‘dog is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series. UTEP is 0-8 ATS the last eight games played following a SU win, 1-6 ATS the last seven games played at home, 1-5 ATS the last six games played as a fav, and 2-8 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take the Owls. Thank you.

Marquette.

CONTRARIAN Play.

Game 729.

5:30 pm pst.

The Golden Eagles have covered each of their last two meetings with the Pirates, including a January 15, 73-72 outright victory. They are currently on a six-game win and cover streak. During their hot streak Marquette has taken down several teams Seton Hall had lost to this season. The matchups surely benefit the visitor here. The Pirates are crushing bettors going just 2-6 ATS their last eight games played overall. The ‘dog in this series is 20-6 ATS the last 26 meetings. Marquette is 4-0 ATS the last four games played on the road, 4-0 ATS the last four games played as a ‘dog, and 6-0 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning record. Tale the Golden Eagles. Thank you.

Providence.

BIG EAST GOW.

Game 679.

3:30 pm pst.

Giving the Friars points has gotten bettors paid as they are 5-0 ATS this season as an underdog. Going back to last season, they have covered seven straight in the role. Providence is perched atop the conference at 6-1 in Big East play and have covered the last three meetings with Xavier. The Friars are 8-1 ATS the last nine games played following an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS the last five games played as an underdog. The Musketeers are 1-4 ATS the last five games played following and ATS loss and 0-4 ATS the last four games played overall. Take Providence. Thank you.

Oregon Ducks.

Pac-12 Payday Play.

Game 666.

7:00 pm pst.

The rest of the Pac-12 should take notice of Oregon. The Ducks, which can crack the top-25 with a victory here (and some help) are playing some of the best basketball in the nation. The team is surging, riding a six-game SU win streak and going 4-1 against the spread their last five outings. Oregon isn’t just winning. They are beating the opposition with authority and playing with confidence. With a back court trio of double-digit scoring guards and a slew of big men up front dominating the paint, this squad is a true well-balanced force. Colorado is sliding as the Buffaloes are on a 1-3 run both SU and ATS. They are coming off back-to-back losses and no covers to the Trojans and the Bruins. Two teams the Ducks bested outright recently as underdogs. Sure, Colorado can put up victories over the conference’s mediocre representatives. But when stepping up in class, they just don’t have the personnel to compete. Make no mistake of it, they are stepping up in class here tonight. Their talent lies in the front court, which are evenly matched here. But we all know this contest is all about which team controls the tempo and the contributions from the guards. And the Buffaloes just can’t contend with the Ducks athletic trio of back court ballers. The favorite is 13-3 ATS the last 16 meetings. Colorado is 22-52-1 ATS the last 75 road games and 5-12-2 ATS the last 19 overall games. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Boise State.

MWC GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 654.

6:00 pm pst.

Boise State has dominated Wyoming, winning nine of the last 10 meetings, including seven straight. They won and covered both of last season’s matchups. Kudos to the Cowboys for winning five in a row. But the Broncos are riding a 12-game hot streak. Yes, Wyoming can score points. But BSU counters their offense with the nation’s 8th ranked scoring defense. I mean come on; Wyoming was an underdog against Grand Canyon. In their two losses to Arizona and Stanford they could only muster 65 and 63 points. Well, the Boise State defense is just as good. Particularly on the boards which will allow a huge edge in transition. The Broncos are 4-0 ATS the last four vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, 5-1 ATS the last six following an ATS win, and 8-2 ATS the last 10 overall. Take Boise State. Thank you.  

Colorado State.

OM Play.

Game 660.

6:00 pm pst.

The line here should be at least double-digits. While Nevada plays some good basketball, they are point spread poison riding a 1-6 ATS run. The Wolf Pack will have serious problems defensively trying to slow down the rams might offense. Nevada enters this contest owning some of NCAAB’s poorest defensive numbers. Well, CSU accounts for over 78.6 PPG, hits 50.2% from the floor, and 38.4% beyond the arc. This game gets ugly folks. The favorite is 10-4 ATS the last 14 meetings. The Rams are 7-3 ATS the last 10 vs. teams with a winning record. The Wolf Pack is 1-6 ATS the last seven vs. winners. Take Colorado State. Thank you.

UNC WILMINGTON.

OM Play.

Game 869.

4:00 pm pst.

This line is way off. The Seahawks which have covered the last two meetings in this series are putting up better numbers on both sides of the court. They are on an eight-game SU winning streak going 7-0 against the spread. Northeastern is riding an eight-game SU losing streak going just 1-7 against the spread, losing to such opponents as Delaware, James Madison, and Towson. All teams UNC Wilmington has beaten this season. The ‘dog is 8-3 ATS the last 11 meetings in this series. The Seahawks are 4-0 ATS the last four road games. The Huskies are 0-4 ATS the last four home games. Take UNC Wilmington. Thank you.

Tampa Bay.

NFL GOM.

Game 316.

12:00 pm pst.

Rematches in the NFL are tricky. Los Angeles bested Tampa Bay, 34-24 back in September. But if you recall, last season the Buccaneers beat several teams in the postseason they had lost to in the regular season. They are an outstanding rematch team. Over his career, Matthew Stafford has played in just four playoff games. Tom Brady has played in 45. Things change come the playoffs. They change significantly. Both teams should be able to pass the ball here. But once again the playoffs change things. And if you’re not used to playing in January, the pressure is evident. Leonard Fournette is expected back and gives the Bucs the luxury of a ground game to keep the Rams defense honest. Brady will see the return of a key offensive lineman to give the seasoned veteran a bit more time in the pocket. Let’s be honest, defenses have been trying to contain the quarterback for decades without success. With two underdogs winning outright Saturday, Tampa Bay won’t take any chances here. This game rests on Brady’s experience and shoulders. L.A. is 2-5 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a winning record. Tampa Bay is 7-1 ATS the last eight games played at home, 4-0 ATS the last four games played in the postseason, and 5-1 ATS the last six game splayed vs. NFC foes. Take the Buccaneers. Thank you.

Santa Clara.

WCC GOW.

Game 855.

6:00 pm pst.

There is no shame on losing to Gonzaga. Following a four-game SU (three game ATS) win streak, that is exactly what happened the Broncos, falling to the Bulldogs on Saturday. This team possess an explosive offense with the starting-five all flirting with or averaging double-digits. While St. Mary’s is once again a solid squad, I just don’t feel they can lay this many points to an opponent that can compete with every WCC rep not names Gonzaga. The last three meetings in this series were separated by a combined 12 points. The Broncos have covered the last four meeti8ngs with the Gaels. Take Santa Clara. Thank you.

Memphis.

OM.

Game 513.

5:10 pm pst.

Milwaukee is in a funk dropping six of the last eight both SU and ATS. Memphis is hot, hot, hot, riding a 12-1 SU run and going 11-2 ATS. They have won two of the last three meetings in this series and more importantly, covered all three. The Bucks back court is hampered and won’t be able to even slow down Morant. The Grizzlies are 13-3 ATS L16 as a ‘dog, 12-1 ATS L13 on the road, and 20-7 ATS L27 overall. Take Memphis. Thank you.

Timberwolves.

WG.

Game 509.

4:40 pm pst.

Atlanta is in real trouble ands without Bogdanovich and Capela, they just won’t be able to compete here against a Minny team on a 6-2 SU run. The Timberwolves are 6-1-1 ATS L8 as a road ‘dog. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

GMU.

MMM.

Game 851.

10:00 am pst.

GMU has taken the last two meetings with GW and come in here following a competitive contest against Kansas. That ATS win has extended the Patriots cover streak to four straight. The offense boasts four double-digit scorers that will dominate this game and control the tempo. The Colonials own some of the nation’s poorest offensive stats, averaging a dismal, 64.0 PPG. The road team is 5-2 ATS the last seven meetings. Take GMU. Thank you.

Tampa Bay.

NFC GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 146.

10:00 am pst.

We all know Philadelphia might have eked their way and backed into the playoffs. Tampa bay did not. As a matter of fact, they not only came in through the front door, they kicked the damn door down. Things change significantly when the postseason arrives. Jalen Hurts does not have the playoff experience needed to succeed. He will feel the pressure and buckle to it. Tom Brady is the most successful QB in the history of the sport and feels right at home come January and February. The Buccaneers OL is healthy. RB, Fournette is expected to make his return. Let’s not forget Brady’s number one go-to guy, “Gronk.” The October 14 matchup, Tampa Bay held Philly to just 215 yards of offense, while the Bucs nearly doubled that number. If you’re concerned about the Eagles rushing attack, don’t be. The Bucs counter with the NFL’s 3rd ranked run defense. Philadelphia is 2-5 ATS the last seven games played as a road ‘dog and 1-4 ATS the last five WC games. Tampa Bay is 6-1 ATS the last seven games played at home and 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the NFC. Take the Buccaneers. Thank you.

BYU.

OM.

Game 809.

8:00 pm pst.

These two rivals know each other well. And also match up with each other well. While the Dons currently share the conferences top-spot with the Bulldogs, they are being vastly overvalued by oddsmakers, going just 5-11 ATS. They face a Cougars squad coming off an embarrassing loss to the Bulldogs and will bounce back here with this ideal matchup. The road team is 15-3 ATS the last 18 games played in this series. BYU is 16-5 ATS the last 21 games played following a SU loss, 5-1-1 ATS the last seven games played as a road ‘dog, 14-5-1 ATS the last 20 games played overall on the road, and 34-16-1 ATS the last 51 games played following an ATS loss. Take the Cougars. Thank you.

New England.

AFC GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 143.

5:15 pm pst.

As we all know, these two division rivals met twice in December. The earlier meeting in Foxborough, the Patriots staff changed their entire offensive scheme to minimize Buffalos defensive strengths, thus leading to a 14-10 victory. The latter meeting in Orchard Park, in which the Bills prevailed, 33-21. They deserved their victory, but Buffalo showed all their cards. They have nothing left hidden up their sleeve. Guys, Belichick and his staff are pretty sharp. There’s no question they will come in here doing two things: Number one, offensively leaning on their potent ground attack which controlled the clock and slashed the Bills defense for over 371 yards on the ground on over 5 yards per carry in the December matchups. The second thing they’re going to do is to come in with a totally different defensive gameplan, throwing tons of different looks at Josh Allen who may have the physical tools but not mental ones just yet, and they will force mistakes. On both sides of the ball, these two teams are very similar talent-wise. So, this game comes down to preparation and coaching. There is no way Sean McDermott can outthink the “hoodie” in January. NO WAY! The road team is 19-6-2 ATS the L27 meetings in this series, the underdog is 5-1-1 ATS the L7 meetings in this series, and the Patriots are 15-3 ATS the L18 meetings played at the Bills. Take New England. Thank you.  

Miami.

BB.

Game 530.

5:10 pm pst.

Miami took the first meeting giving the Heat their 5th win in the L7 matchups vs. the 76ers. Both teams are winning. Both teams are covering. And both teams played last night. But Miami is 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played on zero days rest while Philadelphia is 1-3 ATS this season on the 2nd of back-to-back games. The 76ers are 0-3-1 ATS the last four games played at the Heat and 4-10-1 ATS the last 15 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take Miami. Thank you.

NYK.

WG.

Game 525.

4:40 pm pst.

NY has taken both meetings with Atlanta this season SU and ATS. They come in here on a 4-1 run, also SU and ATS. Not so long ago the Hawks possessed one of basketballs best home court advantages. Not anymore as they are riding an 0-10 ATS slide at home, failing to earn a single SU victory over their last nine. The Knicks are 8-3-1 ATS the last 12 games played at the Hawks. Take New York.

Baylor.

Slam Dunk.

Game 736.

2:00 pm pst.

Baylor comes in here following their first loss of the season and will be looking for redemption. And Okie State is just the opponent to give it to them. The Cowboys are playing with no emotion or motivation having been ruled ineligible for any postseason play. Just 2-6 SU their last eight and covering only once over their last nine, this team is obviously flat. Revenge also adds to the Bears desire here as they were routed last March by the Cowboys and have had this game circled for a while. Baylor is 10-4 ATS the last 14 games played as a home favorite. Take the Bears. Thank you.

Las Vegas.

HIGH ROLLER.

Game 141.

1:30 pm pst.

Joe Burrow has had a good season. But he is playing with a sore knee and his team is just 5-5 the last 10 regular season contests. And some of those wins were against depleted opponents. Things change drastically come the playoffs. The QB doesn’t have the postseason experience needed to succeed. Derek Carr has nearly 5,000 yards passing (4,804 YP). His fourth consecutive season throwing 4,000-plus yards and has some playoff swagger under his belt and much more overall savvy. He and his team which has momentum winning four in a row SU and three in a row ATS (last three all as a ‘dog), will pick apart the 26th ranked pass defense of the Bengals. Look for Waller and the 6th ranked receiving corps in the NFL to have a season-best performance here. Looking closely at the Las Vegas defense, they have held their last six foes to an average of 294 YPG. The Raiders are 6-2 ATS the last eight games played as a road ‘dog. The Bengals are 3-7 ATS the last 10 games played at home vs. teams with a winning road record. Take Las Vegas. Thank you.  

LSU.

Consensus.

Game 628.

11:00 am pst.

LSU has won and covered three straight. All against SEC foes. The 12th ranked team in the nation owns a top-10 defense, allowing just 56.5 PPG. Arkansas, when facing aggressive defenses has problems. They are on a 2-5 run both SU and ATS, getting blown-out by Oklahoma and Mississippi State and losing to Hofstra, Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M. And have yet to claim a true road victory. Things get worse for the Razorbacks here as the Tigers are 10-0 SU and ATS at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Take LSU. Thank you.

Memphis.

OM.

Game 518.

7:10 pm pst.

This line here is way off as Memphis has won 11 in a row going 10-1 ATS and tonight Morant and Doncic will be on the floor together for the first time this season. With Porzingis and Thomas still sidelined, Dallas just won’t be able to keep pace here. The Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS the last four games played at home, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on zero days rest, and 19-7 ATS the last 26 games played overall. Take Memphis. Thank you.

Davidson.

A10 GOM.

Game 893.

6:00 pm pst.

Both teams are playing well and Richmond has won the last three meetings SU and the last four ATS. But Davidson is on a 12-game SU win streak and is a remarkable, 11-3 ATS on the campaign. The Wildcats, behind four double-digit scorers significantly outclass the Spiders with a huge mismatch. Richmond will not be able to even slow down the offensive juggernaut of Davidson. The Spiders are on an 0-3 ATS slide, are just 1-5 ATS their last five vs. teams with a winning record and 1-5 ATS their last six games played at home. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Miami.

WG.

Game 512.

5:10 pm pst.

Miami just thumped Atlanta on Wednesday, 115-91 giving the team their third consecutive SU win and their fourth consecutive ATS. The Hawks have lost three in a row and seven of their last nine both SU and ATS, just traded away Reddish, and will not have the services of Capela here. The stout fourth ranked defense of the Heat will shut down the struggling offense of the Hawks while also draining ‘3’s” at will in this perimeter mismatch. Atlanta is 2-5 ATS the lasts seven games played on the road, 5-12 ATS the last 17 games played as an underdog, and 2-6 ATS the last eight games played on one days rest. Take Miami. Thank you.

Toronto.

Slam Dunk.

Game 503.

4:10 pm pst.

A few factors urge me to side with Toronto here. They come off their first loss, a squeaker to Phoenix following a six-game SU win streak. They are on a 13-3 ATS hot streak and will see the return of some big names here. Furthermore, revenge is huge here as the Raptors have dropped and failed to cover four straight against the Pistons. But this is a healthier squad here today than the last time they met. Toronto is 7-1 ATS the last eight games played as a favorite and 5-0 ATS the last five games played following a SU loss. Take the Raptors. Thank you.

Dallas.

SD.

Game 561.

4:40 pm pst.

Pay no mind to NY’s 6-3 SU mark over their last nine games. All nine opponents are sub-.500 teams. Now they face a red-hot, Dallas squad riding a six-game SU win streak and a 7-2 ATS run. Randle’s shooting issues seem to have no end in sight and now the forward and the rest of the Knicks have to go up against the NBA’s 3rd ranked scoring defense. Look for Doncic to have one of his best performances this season. The Mavericks are 5-2 ATS the last seven games played at the Knicks, 11-5 ATS the last 16 games played on the road, and 4-1 ATS the last five games played as a favorite. Take Dallas. Thank you.  

Fordham.

OM.

Game 698.

4:00 pm pst.

Fordham has been a covering machine, riding a five-game ATS win streak. The Rams enter this matchup possessing a superior back court and the best big man on the floor in 6’9”, 220 lb. forward, Chuba Ohams (14.5 PPG/11.3 RPG). Duquesne is 3-8 ATS the last 11 games played as a road favorite and 1-5 ATS the last six games played as an overall favorite. Fordham is 4-0 ATS the last four games played as an underdog and 5-0 ATS the last five games played at home. Take the Rams. Thank you.

Clemson.

HR.

Game 713.

4:00 pm pst.

Two solid teams square off here, both winning games. But Clemson enters this contest coverei8ng five of their last six and owning the better rebounding corps. The Tigers also have a starting-five, all averaging double-digits. But the biggest mismatch is between their 3rd ranked 3-point shooting squad and the Fighting Irish’s 301st ranked three-point defense. Notre Dame is 3-7 ATS the last 10 games played at home, 3-9 ATS the last 10 games played as a fav, and 6-15 ATS the last 21 games played overall. Take the Tigers. Thank you.  

Minnesota.

WG PLAY.

Game 519.

5:10 pm pst.

Since getting back Towns, Edwards, Russell, and Vanderbilt. Minnesota has won four in a row SU. The Timberwolves have been good to bettors as well, covering four of their last five contests. Their offense is humming, averaging 124.0 PPG during the win streak. New Orleans is struggling once again, dropping four of their last five SU and three of the five ATS. They have played some good opponents but are still getting plowed for over 119.7 PPG in those four defeats. With just about all their playmakers back on the court, Minny is just too much for New Orleans to handle. The Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS the last four games played at the Pelicans, 5-0-1 ATS the last six games played on the road, and 8-1 ATS the last nine games played vs. teams with a losing record. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Toledo.

OM Play.

Game 635.

4:00 pm pst.

Going back to 2016, Toledo has taken 10 straight meetings with Miami-Oh, covering eight of the 10. This includes wins and covers in both of last season’s matchups by nine and 12 points. The Rockets enter this contest covering seven of nine while the Red Hawks have covered just once over their last five outings, spanning five weeks. Toledo owns a tougher defense and certainly possess the more versatile front court here, allowing the team to win the battle of the boards. They are 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road, 5-1 ATS the last six games played following a SU win, and 5-1 ATS the last six overall. Take the Rockets. Thank you.

Alabama.

Title Game Winner.

Game 288.

5:00 pm pst.

Nick Saban enjoys demolishing his ex-assistants. He and his staff will come in here with a different gameplan than in the SEC Title game to confuse both the Georgia offense and defense. And will have the same outcome. Giving ‘Bama points is a mistake as the ‘dog is 7-1 ATS the last eight meetings in this series. Take the Crimson Tide. Thank you.

New England.

EIP.

Game 455.

1:25 pm pst.

Bill Belichick has his team back in the playoffs and with a chance to win the AFC East. He wants his Patriots primed and ready to roll into the postseason. If you want proof as to how much, just look at last week’s, 50-10 demolishing of the Jaguars. The Dolphins are done for the season. Next Sunday, they will be playing golf. LOL. Outside of maybe a rookie receiving record, they have nothing to play for here. Nor do they want to jeopardize next season by getting any of their key players injured here. Let’s throw into the mix that revenge plays a factor too. If you recall, Miami bested New England back in September. And the Patriots are a team that do like their revenge. Here’s some trends you might find interesting: New England is 6-1 ATS the last seven games played as a favorite, 6-2 ATS the last eight games played vs. the AFC, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road, and most importantly, 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played in the month of January. Take the Patriots. Thank you.

Tampa Bay.

HR play. Game 462.

1:25 pm pst.

Tampa Bay is banged-up. But it won’t matter. After almost losing last week’s game, they will take no prisoners this week as they have an opportunity to grab the NFC’s #2 seed. They do need some outside help. But they must win here to have any chance at it. This is a team that owns one of the NFL’s best home records at 6-1 at Raymond James Stadium. They face a Carolina team on the verge of setting their own record, the team to finish with the worst record in the history of the NFL after starting the season 3-0. The Panthers are on an 0-6 run both SU and ATS, with the average margin of defeat during the slide coming by 14.6 PPG. Tampa Bay’s 2nd ranked scoring offense can and will light up the scoreboard here. And if that wasn’t enough, the Bucs have won and covered the last three meetings in this series, including a December 26th, 32-6 shellacking. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you.

Louisville.

SLAM DUNK PLAY.

Game 781.

5:00 pm pst.

Florida State may have taken the last few meetings in this series. But these are two very different teams this season. The Seminoles are on runs of 2-4 SU and 1-6 ATS. Inconsistency on the offense and rebounding are issues for the team. The Cardinals defense will frustrate the Seminoles here while dominating the boards. Louisville is on a three-game SU win streak and are playing very solid basketball at both ends of the court. The ‘dog is 5-2-1 ATS the last eight meetings in this series. FSU is 0-6 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take the Cardinals. Thank you.

Milwaukee Bucks.

SLAM DUNK PLAY.

Game 563.

4:40 pm pst.

The Nets finally got their “Big 3” back on the court together on Wednesday and had to rally from 19-points down to beat the Pacers in Indiana, 129-121. Now at home, Kyrie Irving is sitting due to personal reasons. The Greek Freak, who is listed as questionable (check status), but reports are claiming he will play tonight. Milwaukee, which sits just 1.0 GB of Brooklyn with the East’s 3rd best record, has had their way in this rivalry, winning and covering three in a row and four of the last five meetings. They want this win to gain a full game in the conference standings. This is way too many points to give the Bucks. Especially because the Nets are 1-10 ATS the lats 11 games played at home, 1-4 ATS the last five games played on one days rest, and 0-4 ATS the last four games played overall. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

L Tech.

SD play.

Game 823.

7:00 pm pst.

The Bulldogs are playing some very solid basketball and have a bit too much firepower possessing a starting-five all flirting with or averaging double-digits. UTEP has played some good opponents. But they lack the size and strength to compete down low. The Miners are 0-4 ATS the last four games played at home and 0-4 ATS the last four games played overall. The Bulldogs are 9-5 ATS the last 11 games played on the road and 25-10-1 ATS the last 36 games played overall. Take Louisiana Tech. Thank you.

Iowa.

OM play.

Game 803.

6:00 pm pst.

Wisconsin is in major let-down mode here following their win over Purdue. Iowa, which is on a four-game SU win streak, enters this matchup possessing the nation’s #2 scoring offense (87.4 PPG). The frontcourt tandem of Murray and McCaffrey (35.8 PPG/11.5 RPG combined) are going to dominate the paint here and frustrate the mediocre Badgers offense (70.6 PPG). The Hawkeyes have taken the last four meetings in this series SU and are 6-1 ATS the last seven games played following a SU win and 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take Iowa. Thank you.

Warriors.

WG play.

Game 555.

5:10 pm pst.

As of post, Steph Curry is listed as questionable. However, this reflects in the current number. Whether the MVP-candidate plays or not, the team must bounce back here from last night’s embarrassing 17-point loss to Dallas. New Orleans is on a three-game slide both SU and ATS, losing by an average of 12.3 PPG. No question, the Warriors are much deeper everywhere than the Pels. Golden State is 12-2 ATS the last 14 games played following a SU loss. Take the warriors, Thank you.

Ohio State.

HR.

Game 749.

4:00 pm pst.

After a three-week layoff, Ohio State showed little very little rust in Sunday’s, 87-79 victory over Nebraska. The win is the Buckeye’s fifth in a row SU. They have the size, the muscle, and the shooters to not just keep this contest close, but to win it. They have taken six of the last seven meetings in this series SU going 5-2 ATS, including wins and covers in the last two matchups. OSU is 4-0 ATS the last four games played following an ATS loss, 7-1 ATS the last eight games played as a road ‘dog, and 11-4 ATS the last 15 overall games played on the road. Take the Buckeyes. Thank you.

North Carolina. ACC GOW.

Game 731.

6:00 pm pst.

North Carolina owns a 10-3 record, is 2-0 in conference play, and 3-0 on the road. The Tar Heels enter this matchup winning seven of their last eight SU and five of their last seven ATS. Their losses came at the hands of three very good opponents. But also have victories over the likes of Michigan and Georgia Tech. Notre Dame is a very pedestrian, 7-5 SU, crushing bettors at 2-9 ATS. The Irish have stepped up in class six times thus far, going 1-5 both SU and ATS. The combination of UNC’s 9th ranked three-point shooting offense (40%) and the fact that they are far superior on the glass at both ends of the court convince me that they will get another conference win and cover here. The last time these two teams met resulted in a 42-point trouncing by UNC. The Irish are 1-7 Ats the last eight games played vs. teams with a winning record, 2-7 ATS the last nine games played at home, and 4-15 ATS the last 19 games played overall. Take the Tar Heels. Thank you.  

Providence.

BEBB play.

Game 635.

6:00 pm pst.

Ranked 16th in the nation, Providence is the highest-ranked Big East representative. The Friars are 3-0 in conference play, 13-1 overall, and 10-4 ATS. They possess one of the most-talented and frustrating defenses in the conference. Marquette is 0-3 in Big East action, 8-6 overall, 6-8 ATS, and are riding a four-game SU slide (1-3 ATS). The Golden Eagles still have a few players sidelined and are looking fatigued already on the campaign. Can’t go against a Providence team that has rattled off eight straight victories going 7-1 ATS, with a “D” allowing just 61.1 PPG. The Friars are 4-0 ATS the last four games played on the road. The Golden Eagles are 1-5 ATS the last six games played at home. Take Providence. Thank you.

When ALL of my oddsmaking, sportsbook, and sportsbetting contacts come in with the same team as my analysts and I, it becomes an NBA WISEGUY PLAY which are 6-1 this season. Be on this winner and be on the same side as the sharpest minds in the business.

Memphis.

WG play.

Game 523.

4:10 pm pst.

Darius Garland is expected back for the Cavs. However, their one strength, their defense has started to crack, yielding 108.8 PPG over their last six outings in which they are 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS. The Grizzlies are on a five-game SU hot streak, going 4-1 ATS, averaging 116.2 PPG. With Ja Morant leading the way (30 or more points scored in four straight), I just don’t see Cleveland keeping pace here. Memphis is 9-1 ATS the last 10 game splayed on the road and 7-1 ATS the last eight games played as a road underdog. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you.

Texas A&M.

CTB play.

Game 609.

4:00 pm pst.

It’s a good thing Georgia football is in the headlines. Otherwise, Georgia basketball would be scrutinized by the media for their 5-8 record. This is a team in trouble with losses to Wofford, George Mason, ETSU, and Gardner-Webb. Meanwhile, Texas A&M is striding, winning four in a row and seven of their last eight SU, en route to an 11-2 start. Butler, Notre Dame, and Oregon State has already fallen victim. On both sides of the court, the Aggies outclass the Bulldogs. They have scorers and rebounders. And have taken five of the last six meetings in this series SU going 4-2 ATS. Texas A&M is 5-1 ATS the last six games played following an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS the last five games played as a road favorite. Georgia is 1-7 ATS the last eight games played following an ATS loss, and 0-4 ATS the last four games played at home. Take the Aggies. Thank you.

Towson.

SLAM DUNK play.

Game 863.

3:00 pm pst.

Drexel hasn’t stepped on the hardwood in 20 days. Not since a win and no-cover against Coppin State. Towson has had some time off as well, but enter this matchup a little fresher and rolling, winning three in a row and six of their last seven SU. They have been money for us bettors this season, covering five straight and own an overall ATS mark of 11-2. Both teams have solid offenders. However, the Tigers have faced a beaten some very strong opponents due to their defense. There’s also a huge mismatch between the Towson three-point shooting squad and the Drexel beyond the arc defense (37.1%, 37.6%). The Tigers are 8-0 ATS the last eight games played as a road favorite. Take Towson. Thank you.

Colts.

TEN DIMES play.

Game 101.

10:00 am pst.

Let’s pump the breaks there, Raiders fans. The last two weeks in your 16-14 win over the Browns and your 17-13 win over the Bronco were both against teams that were ravished by missing starters and both came against backup quarterbacks. As of posting, Carson Wentz “may” be cleared to play here. But either way, Vegas is truly outclassed. Jonathan Taylor is chomping at the bit to face the Swiss-cheese like Las Vegas run defense. Let’s face it, when you match up the NFL’s 5th ranked scoring offense with its 26th ranked scoring defense, things are gonna’ get ugly folks. On the flipside, the Raiders are having issues crossing the goal line and now have to line up across from a Colts defense that has yielded 17 points or less in five of their last six contests. Las Vegas is 3-7 ATS the last 10 games played on the road while Indianapolis is 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the AFC. Take the Colts under a TD. Thank you.  

Chiefs.

HR play.

Game 115.

10:00 am pst.

With last week’s 36-10 demolishing of Pittsburgh, Kansas City clinched a playoff spot. Right now, the Chiefs own a one-game lead over the Titans for the AFC’s best record. They want to be the top-seed come the postseason guys. Patrick Mahomes leads the No. 4 scoring offense in the league. This is a huge mismatch as the quarterback the will absolutely shred the Cincy 29th ranked pass defense. That would be enough for me to side with them here. But the Chiefs defense puts the icing on the cake my friends. They have allowed 17 points or less in seven of the last eight outings, which by the way were all wins. That’s right, this team has rattled off eight straight victories and six straight covers. Now folks Joe Burrow and the Bengals have come a long way. But this is still a young squad and I feel after last week’s beating of the Ravens, they are in serious let down mode here. KC is 5-0 ATS the last five games played vs. AFC opponents while Cincy is 2-5 ATS the last seven games played at home. Take the Chiefs all the way to the bank. Thank you.

Michigan

Consensus GOM.

Game 270.

4:30 pm pst.

The first 12 games of the season Georgia looked unbeatable. They then ran into Alabama in the SEC Title game and got shellacked. Many naysayers out there said it was because they knew they would be in the CFP no matter what. Folks I say that is a bunch of hogwash. The winner has a psychological edge in case of a title game rematch. My friends, Jim Harbaugh is a sharp guy and he will take a page from the SEC Title game scheme. Giving a striding team like Michigan which is riding a five-game win streak (both SU & ATS), more than a touchdown is a gift. The pressure here is all on the Bulldogs. Michigan has the offensive personnel to keep the UGA defense busy and the defense to frustrate the Bulldogs offensively. And Georgia is 1-4 ATS the last five games played following a SU loss. Take Michigan plus the 7.5 here. Thank you.

Wisconsin.

Bookie Buster

Game 262.

7:30 pm pst.

Wisconsin began the season struggling, dropping three of their first four outings, both SU and ATS. The Badgers turned things around rattling off seven consecutive victories SU, going 5-2 ATS. They then fell flat against the Golden Gophers back on November 27. This is a smart, resilient with a sharp coaching staff. Arizona State showed very little consistency this season. The only bright spot was the contributions from their ball-carriers. Things don’t look to promising here as their two top running backs, White and Trayanum are not playing here. Also not suiting up for the Sun Devils are two of their starting cornerbacks and their starting center. The Badgers own a top-10 stop-unit in every major category, leading the nation in yards allowed (241.4) and rushing yards allowed (65.8). Overall, the stifling “D” ranks 6th, yielding a mere, 16.4 PPG. When Wiscy has the ball, they will run, run, run, keeping the ASU defense on the field and come the 2nd half, back-peddling and gasping for air. Head coach, Paul Chryst will have his team hungry and excited to earn a big Bowl victory. The Sun Devils are 3-8 ATS the last 11 Bowl games played, 3-9 ATS the last 12 games played on neutral sites, and 2-7 ATS the last nine games played vs. nonconference opponents. Take the Badgers. Thank you.  

Minnesota.

TEN DIMES PLAY.

Game 246.

7:15 pm pst.

Golden Gophers head coach, PJ Fleck fired offensive coordinator, Mike Sanford Jr. and replaced him with 2021 Mountaineers offensive analyst, Kirk Ciarocca. Ciarocca is not participating here but has provided behind-the-curtain intel into West Virginia’s offense. This is going to further bolster the nation’s 9th ranked scoring defense of Minny. The Mountaineers also lost some key personnel to opt-outs. The Golden Gophers are intact. This is an outstanding team that overcame losing their three top ball-carriers, one after the other and still managed to be one of the most-potent rushing units in the land. They will keep the ball on the ground, control the tempo and the clock, keeping the Mountaineers defense on the field, and more importantly, their offense off of it. When West Virginia has the ball, they will rely upon the pass. Well, Minnesota counters with the 11th ranked passing defense in college football. The line here should be at least a TD and perhaps almost nine points. Keep in mind that this team thumped Colorado, Purdue, Nebraska, Maryland, Northwestern, Indiana, and Wisconsin this season. And their last two postseason appearances, they shellacked both Georgia Tech and Auburn. The Mountaineers are 3-13 ATS the last 16 Bowl games played, 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 3-14-1 ATS the last 18 games played in the month of December. The Golden Gophers are 4-0 ATS the last four Bowl games played, 9-4 ATS the last 13 games played as a favorite, and 5-0 ATS the last five games played in the month of December. Take Minnesota. Thank you.  

Auburn.

Game 238.

9:00 am pst.

While Houston is a talented squad, playing in the ACC is a far cry from playing in the SEC. Bo Nix is gone and TJ Finley is the future of Auburn. The quarterback has shown poise and consistency. He also has running back, Tank Bigsby and a slew of outstanding receivers. Yes, the Tigers are on a four-game slide. But they have been competitive facing tougher opposition. The Cougars faced two solid foes this season. The Red Raiders and the Bearcats, losing both by a combined 73-48. Oh, and failing to cover in both too. The team is without all-universe player, CB/WR/KR/PR, Marcus Jones. No longer will they have good field position and will have a hole in the secondary. This game will be won in the trenches where Auburn owns a huge advantage with the bigger, stronger, stouter trenchmen. Houston is 1-5 ATS the last six games played on neutral sites, 0-6 ATS the last six games played in the month of December, and 0-4 ATS the last four Bowls games played. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

Chicago.

WG play.

Game 549.

4:40 pm pst.

The Hawks have failed to cover eight straight at home. Now they face a red-hot Bulls team (7-2 SU and ATS last nine) consisting of the “Big 3” DeRozan, LaVine, and Vucevic. Atlanta has nine players on the bench due to Covid protocol, including their top-two contributors, Young and Collins. The Bulls are 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played as a road favorite. Take Chicago. Thank you.

Charlotte.

SD play.

Game 548.

4:10 pm pst.

Revenge game for a Hornets team that lost 146-143 in OT about a month ago. Big names have returned for Charlotte while a few Rockets are still on the shelf. Houston lost five of their last six both SU and ATS coming into this matchup. No way they can keep pace with the NBA’s 2nd ranked scoring offense. The Rockets are 1-4 ATS the last five games played on the road and 0-5 ATS the last five games played as an underdog. The Hornets are 8-0 ATS the last eight games played at home and 8-3 ATS the last 11 games played overall. Take Charlotte. Thank you.

New England.

HIGH ROLLER.

Game 472.

10:00 am pst.

With a win here, New England will lock up the AFC East. These two teams met a few weeks ago with the Patriots prevailing, 14-10. That game was won in the trenches where the Bills are outmanned and outclassed. Bill Belichick and the much-sharper New England coaching staff prepared a perfect game plan for that contest. And will come in here with a different scheme but still very effective. Josh Allen is in for another long and unproductive day here facing one of the NFL. The Bills “O” took a big hit with the loss of WR, Cole Beasley. Coming off a loss, following a seven-game win streak (SU and ATS) expect the Patriots to win here with authority. Buffalo is 1-4-1 ATS the last six games played vs. the AFC, 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 0-4 ATS the last four game splayed following a SU win. New England is 5-1 ATS the last six games played vs. the AFC, 5-0 ATS the last five games played as a favorite, and 4-1 ATS the last five games played at home. Take the Patriots. Thank you. 

Colts.

HR play.

Game 415.

5:15 pm pst.

If you recall, a season ago, Arizona flatlined down the stretch going 3-6. Well history repeats itself here and this season, they dropped four of their last seven outings. Kyler Murray hasn’t been the same since returning from his ankle injury and with WR Deandre Hopkins sidelined, the offense has shown very little consistency. Just the opposite for Indy which has won seven of their last nine SU and eight of their last 11 ATS. The Colts are very much alive in their division, coming off a big win vs. the Patriots last week. And if you’re concerned about them being on the road, Don’t be, they are 5-0 ATS the last five games played as a visitor winning some big games on the road vs. such notables as San Francisco and Buffalo. Jonathan Taylor and the 2nd ranked rushing unit in the NFL will take this game on his shoulders, or should I say his legs and demolish the beat-up, ‘Zona run defense. The Cardinals are 3-8 ATS the last 11 games played at home. Take Indy here. Thank you.

Green Bay.

LVSM.

Game 454.

1:30 pm pst.

I don’t care how depleted a team is, when you lose to the Raiders, you’ve hit rock bottom. Playing with just five days to rest, heal, prepare, and travel is tough. When you still have a slew of players in COVID-protocol that can’t practice and not knowing if they’re gonna’ play is even tougher. But the toughest thing of all is having to go into Lambeau and face the Packers and their loyal fans. The only 11-win team in the NFL still needs victories to lock up the NFC’s top seed and home field come the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers is on the cusp of being the teams all-time leader in TD passes. Look for this game to get uglier than Patrick Mahomes’ brothers tik tok videos. The Browns are 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. the Packers and 1-4 ATS the last five games played overall. The Packers are 20-8 ATS the last 28 games played following an ATS loss and 5-0 ATS the last five games played as a home favorite. Take Green Bay. Thank you.

Georgia State.

Game 232.

11:30 am pst.

Somehow, Ball State made a Bowl game. One of the worst offenses in the nation and their defense isn’t too far behind. Following a mid-season surge, they went just 1-5 ATS their last six games and really didn’t face any solid opposition. Riding 6-1 SU and ATS hot streaks, Georgia State owns the nation’s 8th ranked rushing unit that will control the clock and the tempo here. Defensively, the Panthers held some very good teams in check. They played Auburn and ULL very tough and beat Coastal Carolina. Georgia State is 8-1 ATS the last nine games played following a SU win and 5-1 ATS the last six games played as a favorite. Ball State is 1-4 ATS the last five Bowl games played and 1-4 ATS the last five games played overall. Take the Panthers. Thank you.

49ers.

TNW.

Game 451.

With no real offensive threats to rely on since Derrick Henry went down, the Tennessee “O” has been nonexistent. Ryan Tannehill can not carry the load all by himself and has started to crack committing multiple turnovers on a regular basis. Well, in comes Nick Bosa and the mighty San Francisco defense. The 49ers are in a key position to earn an NFC WC spot, winning five of their last six. Jimmy G has the offense humming like a 57” Chevy. San Francisco is 4-1 ATS the last five games played as a road favorite, 5-2 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 5-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Take the 49ers. Thank you.

UNT.

Game 292.

12:30 pm pst.

A few angles seem to get us paid a bit more regularly guys. I’m talking about hot streaks and momentum. North Texas…5 straight wins…6 straight covers. And coming off a 45-23 outright win against an undefeated UTSA team as a 9.5-pt ‘dog. This team is brimming with confidence to not just compete, but to win here. Folks, this is the No.3 ranked rushing team in the nation lining up against a very pedestrian run defense. The Mean Green have five, yes five very talented ball-carries and as of post, all five are expected to play. The Red Hawks are 2-5 ATS the last seven as a fav, 4-13 ATS the last 17 nonconf, and 2-6 ATS last eight vs. Conference USA. Take the points with UNT here. Thank you.

Army.

Game 226.

5:00 pm pst.

Mismatch alert! Army boasts the nation’s 2nd ranked rushing attack, averaging over 286.9 YPG on the ground, resulting in the 27th ranked scoring offense, accounting for over 33.6 PPG. Missouri is a one-dimensional offense, solely relying upon the run. However, running back, Tyler Badie (1,612 yards rushing 14 TD’s on the ground, 330 yards receiving four TD’s in the air) will not be active here. The next ball-carrier only has 150 yards rushing this season. Coming off a loss to the Midshipmen will motivate the Black Knights to finish off the campaign on a high-note. The Tigers are 2-9 ATS the last 11 games played vs. teams with a winning record, 0-4 ATS the last four games played vs. nonconference opponents, 3-14 ATS the last 17 games played in the month of December, and 8-21 ATS the last 21 games played overall. Take army. Thank you.

Rams.

BLOCKBUSTER.

Game 328.

4:00 pm pst.

The Rams won at the Cardinals on MNF. They are just one GB or Arizona in the conference. Seattle, at 5-8 mathematically can still make the postseason. But most-likely must win-out to do so. L.A. has Minny, Baltimore, and San Francisco remaining on the schedule. So, they really need a victory here to boost their confidence as it looks to be the least competitive foe left. The 3rd ranked passing offense in the NFL will shred the 32nd ranked pass defense here. The Seahawks are 1-5 ATS the last six meetings in this series, 4-9 ATS the last 13 games played on the road, and 4-10 ATS the last 14 games played vs. the NFC. Take the Rams. Thank you.

Xavier.

Wiseguy.

Game623.

4:00 pm pst.

A very healthy 11-1 (9-3 ATS) Xavier squad is red-hot, winning seven straight contests (6-1 ATS). Villanova lost two in a row, getting stomped, 57-36 by Baylor, and 79-59 by Creighton. The Musketeers match up well here offensively, defensively, and on the boards. They are 20-8 ATS the last 28 games played as a ‘dog. Take Xavier. Thank you.

UNC.

Slam Dunk.

Game 626.

4:00 pm pst.

Coming off an embarrassing 19-point loss to Kentucky, UNC will bounce back here and get back on track against an overmatched App. State team. This is the Tar Heels final nonconference game o the season and must fine-tune their play here tonight. The Mountaineers are 0-4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road. Take North Carolina. Thank you.

Wyoming.

Game 221.

12:30 pm pst.

Kent State is not playing a conference opponent here and are a bit overmatched. They can run the bal. However, Wyoming counters with a very tough defense (22.5 PPG allowed). They too can run the ball and enter this matchup with confidence knowing they are 2-0 against MAC teams this season. The Golden Flashes are 1-3-1 ATS the last five games played on neutral sites, 2-6 ATS the last eight nonconference games played, and 1-6 ATS the last seven games played as a ‘dog. Take the Cowboys. Thank you.

Houston.

BB.

Game 539.

5:10 pm pst.

Houston gave Chicago all they can handle in last months 118-113 outright win and cover. The Bulls were at full strength that contest and are now dealing with COVID protocols and having only played once in the last eight days. The Rockets are 8-2 ATS the lats 10 games played as an underdog, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road, and 10-3 ATS the last 13 games played overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

Green Bay.

LVSM GOM.

Game 315.

1:25 pm pst.

Sports fans, whether it is Lamar Jackson or Tyler Huntley at the helm, trust me, it won’t matter. Guys, this Ravens offense is mediocre at best. Just over the last month or so, they were outscored by Miami, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland once. None of those teams are powerhouses. In their two victories over the last five games, they eked out a 16-13 win over Chicago and a 16-10 win in an earlier meeting with Cleveland. Guys, this team is not a contender. But Green Bay is a contender. Aaron Rodgers will pick apart the leagues 31st ranked pass defense. This just might be his best performance of the season. On the flipside, whether it be on the ground or in the air, the Packers “D” will completely shut down the already stunted Ravens offense. With NFC reps, the Buccaneers and the Cardinals both also sporting 10 wins, the Packers want this win. My friends, since the Week 1 loss, Green Bay is on an 11-1 ATS run. They are money going 5-1 ATS the last six games played on the road, 7-1 ATS the last eight games played as a favorite, and 16-5 ATS the last 21 games played overall. The Packers win by double-digits. Take Green Bay. Thank you.

ULL.

Game 218.

6:15 pm pst.

ULL hasn’t tasted defeat since the first week of September. And won’t here. The Ragin’ Cajuns have won 12 straight contests behind a well-balanced offense and the nations 11th ranked defense. Not only do they outclass the struggling Thundering Herd but they also have the luxury of playing in front of a friendly New Orleans crowd. With an outstanding QB and three talented ball-carriers, Lafayette will control the clock and the tempo here, taking a page from Marshall’s last opponent, in which they suffered a 53-21 loss at the hands of Western Kentucky. The Thundering Herd are 2-6 ATS the last eight games played against teams with a winning record, 2-8 ATS the last 10 games played following a SU loss, and 0-4 ATS the last four games played in the month of December. Take the Ragin’ Cajuns. Thank you.

New England.

HR play.

Game 311.

Guys I have been rooting for Jonathan Taylor all season. And much of Indy’s success is because of the running back. But New England comes in here with the NFL’s 3rd ranked rushing defense and the overall top-scoring stop-unit. They are a swarming and stifling squad that will frustrate the Colts offense and slow down Taylor. During their seven-game SU and ATS winning streak the Pats “D” has allowed a mere, 10.4 PPG. On the flipside, Mac Jones is playing well beyond his years. He’s got a 70% completion rate on the campaign and over the last seven games, just two INT’s. He doesn’t make mistakes and the offense wears down opponents BIG TIME. The wrong team is favored here folks as the Patriots are 5-1 ATS the last six games played vs. the Colts, 4-0 ATS the last four games played on the road, 6-1 ATS the last seven games played following a bye week, and 5-0 ATS the last five games played vs. the AFC. Take New England. Thank you.

Utah State.

TEN DIMES PLAY.

Game 216.

4:30 pm pst.

Sports fans, don’t get trapped into thinking that a mid-level Pac-12 team is 7.5 points better than a Mountain West champ. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT! I’m not looking to take away anything the 13th ranked rushing attack of the Beavers. They will move the chains on the ground. But being that they don’t pass the ball with any real success, it makes it very easy for the Aggies and their very smart coaching staff to figure them out offensively. Butthe real mismatch here is between the nations 15th ranked passing unit of Utah State and the 87th ranked pass defense of Oregon State. QB, Logan Bonner is a stud, with 36 TD’s 3500+ yards passing, he and his talented quartet of receivers will absolutely shred the Beavers secondary. The Aggies are red-hot. They have dropped just one game since mid-October, riding runs of 7-1 SU and 6-1 ATS. They’ve covered their last three in the underdog role, winning all three outright. I like Utah State straight up here but I will take 7.5 points folks. Take the Aggies. Thank you.

Houston.

WG play.

Game 678.

4:00 pm pst.

Houston is not just a winning team at 9-2 SU, they are a money team for us bettors at 7-4 ATS. The Cougars average 80.0 PPG and rank 10th nationally allowing only 56.4 PPG. Okie State is on a four-game no cover streak and can’t compete with UH’s talent level. The Cougars are 19-9 ATS the last 28 games played on neutral sites, 24-10 ATS the last 34 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

South Carolina.

HR play.

Game 691.

3:00 pm pst.

This is way too many points to give a team like South Carolina which are outstanding rebounders and own a stifling defense. With wins over WKU, UAB, G’Town, and FSU, this is a very well-balanced team. Thew road team is 4-1 ATS the last five games played in this series. The Gamecocks are 5-2 ATS the last seven games played overall. Take South Carolina. Thank you.

USC.

TV GOW.

Game 638.

1:00 pm pst.

The 11-0, 10th ranked Trojans are crushing foes by an average of 15.3 PPG. Offensively, defensively, and on the boards, they completely outclass the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech is 0-4 ATS the last four games played as an underdog, 0-4 ATS the last four games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 0-5 ATS the last five games played overall. Take USC. Thank you.

BYU.

Game 212.

12:30 pm pst.

BYU is a very good team that has faced and beaten quite a few other good teams in 2021. And with all respect to UAB, they really only stepped up once this season, resulting in a 56-7 beating at the hands of Georgia. For starters, there’s the potent 1-2 punch of 2500-yard passer Jaren Hall and 1400-yard rusher Tyler Allgier. Then there’s the fact that the team is going to come out firing on all cylinders because their head coach, the very well-liked, Kalani Sitake, just signed a long-term contract, and the team is excited about it. Then, there’s the elephant in the room folks. The coaching staff and the team will go out of their way to prove to pollsters that they deserved a New Years Day Bowl. Guys, don’t forget, this is a team that went 5-0 against Pac-12 opponents this season. They are also 7-2 ATS the last nine games played against Conference USA foes. Take BYU. Thank you.

UL Monroe.

OM Play.

Game 632.

12:00 pm pst.

One team is 0-4 SU and ATS their lats four games while the other is on a four-game SU win streak, going 2-0 ATS during the run. The Warhawks own a storming offense accounting for over 81.4 PPG behind five double0digit scorers. The Golden Eagles can’t compete in the back court here. They are 1-5 ATS the last six games played on the road, 1-6 ATS the last seven games played following a SU loss, and 5-15-1 ATS the lats 21 games played as an underdog. Take UL Monroe. Thank you.

Texas Tech.

Game 609.

10:00 am pst.

With two losses already, opponents just aren’t intimidated by Gonzaga this season. Now they face the 8-1 Texas Tech team which possess the nation’s No.2 ranked defense. The Red Raiders match up well here with a Bulldogs squad riding an 0-4 ATS slide. Texas tech is 5-1 ATS the last six games played as an underdog. Take the Red Raiders. Thank you.

Charlotte.

WG Play.

Game 569.

7:10 pm pst.

Portland is in trouble, losing seven in a row and 10 of their last 11 SU. With McCollum sidelined things will go from bad to worse here as NBA Rookie of the Year, LaMelo Ball and a Charlotte team that is 6-1 ATS their lasts seven games, comes to town. The Hornets handed the Blazers a 125-113 defeat on October 31, when both Lillard and McCollum were in the lineup. The league’s top-ranked 3-point shooting squad and the No.2 ranked scoring offense faces its 30th ranked 3-point and 26th ranked scoring defenses. The Hornets are 6-1 ATS the last seven games played as an underdog and 4-0 ATS the last four games played on one days rest. The Blazers are 0-4 ATS the last four games played as a favorite and 0-6 ATS the last six games played at home. Take Charlotte. Thank you.

Memphis.

BB Play.

Game 571.

7:10 pm pst.

Memphis is red-hot winning nine of their last 10 SU and eight of their last 10 ATS. They have also taken the last four meetings in this series SU including a 128-101 win and cover in this season’s only matchup. Look for the explosive 7th ranked scoring offense in the NBA to brutalize its 29th ranked scoring defense. To add insult to injury, the Grizzlies are the No.1 offensive rebounding squad in the NBA. So, they will get a ton of second-chance points here. Memphis is 5-0 ATS the last five games played on the road, 7-2 ATS the last nine games played on one days rest, and 6-2 ATS the last eight games played following a SU win. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you.

Kansas City.

TNW.

Game 301.

5:20 pm pst.

Kansas City has won six in a row SU while covering four straight. During their last six games, the Chiefs defense has forced 16 turnovers while yielding a mere 10.9 PPG. Los Angeles is getting plowed for a ton of points and seem to lose to any solid foe. The last two months the Chargers have been defeated by the Ravens, Patriots, Vikings, and Broncos. With KC’s defensive issues behind them we must side with the hot-handed Chiefs. They are 7-1 ATS the last eight games played at the Chargers, 8-3-1 ATS the last 12 games played in the month of December, and 22-10-1 ATS the last 33 games played vs. the AFC West. The Chargers are 19-40-1 ATS the last 60 games played at home, 4-10 ATS the last 14 games played as a home ‘dog, and 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. AFC opponents. Take Kansas City. Thank you.

Los Angeles.

WG Play.

Game 533.

4:40 pm pst.

With Luka Doncic sidelined tonight, it’s very doubtful Dallas can slow down LeBron James and company, which have won seven of their last 11 games. The Lakers are well-rested and looking to get every win they can right now. The Mavericks offense has been erratic at best and without their top-scorer, top-rebounder, and floor-leader, they won’t be able to compete here. They are 1-5 ATS the last six games played at home and 1-4 ATS the last five games played following an ATS win. Take the Lakers. Thank you.

Alabama.

SD play.

Game 633.

6:00 pm pst.

Alabama has earned their 8-1 record beating such notables as Drake, Miami, Gonzaga, and Houston. Memphis is on a four-game slide both SU and ATS. With five starters all flirting with or averaging double-digits and five phenomenal rebounders, the Crimson Tide simply outclasses the Tigers, particularly in the paint. Take Alabama. Thank you.

Golden State.

WG play.

Game 519.

4:40 pm pst.

New York is struggling dropping seven of their last nine SU. Now Golden State comes to MSG sporting the NBA’s best record while Steph Curry is just one three-pointer away from tying the all-time record set by Ray Allen and two away from owning the record. The Warriors are 8-2 ATS the lats 10 games played at the Knicks, 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played following an ATS loss, and 23-9-1 ATS the last 33 games played overall. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Arizona.

MNF GAME OF THE YEAR.

Game 130.

5:15 pm pst.

This is an ideal opportunity for the division-leading Cardinals to further distance themselves from the rest of the NFC West. Kyler Murray is back and shook off the cobwebs in last week’s win and cover in Soldier Field. What impressed me most in the quarterbacks first game back is that he committed zero mistakes. It’s now evident that head coach Sean McVay is in way over his head. To make matters worse, there is no possible way for the team to compete in this matchup. L.A. is on a 1-3 run SU and a 1-5 run ATS. Sure, they can pass the ball. But, ‘Zona counters with one of the NFL’s best pass defenses and ranks 4th overall in the league, allowing just 18.7 PPG. Mistakes, turnovers, penalties, and a weak pass rush will prove to be fatal for the Rams here. Los Angeles is 2-5 ATS the last seven games played on the road. Arizona is 4-0 ATS the last four games played vs. NFC West opponents. Take the Cardinals. Thank you.

Rhode Island.

SD play.

Game 677.

5:00 pm pst.

On both sides of the court, Rhode Island is far superior. The 6’9” and 6’10” Mitchell brother are terrorizing foes accounting for a combined 20.4 PPG and 11.5 RPG. The 2-7 Milwaukee squad just can’t compete here. The Panthers are 7-19 ATS the last 26 games played at home. Take the Rams. Thank you.
