ASU.

PAC-12 EARLY WINNER.

Game 662.

12:00 pm pst/3:00 pm est.

Momentum at the end of the regular season is a big part of winning come the conference tournaments. Well, Arizona State has won four in a row and seven of the last eight both straight up against the spread. While these two conference rivals did split out their two matchups this season, the Sun Devils have covered five straight in the series taking four of those five straight up. The Cardinal is sliding something badly, losing five in a row and seven of their last eight straight up and seven of their last 10 against the spread. While both offenses leave a lot to be desired, ASU does have five starters all averaging double-digits and a much better core of rebounders. They are also 10-2 against the spread the last 12 games played following a straight up win and is 4-1 against the spread the last five games played as a favorite. Take the Sun Devils. Thank you.

Game 616.

4:00 pm pst.

In the Colonial Conference Championship game, we see a matchup between the Delaware Blue Hens and the NC Wilmington Seahawks. There is no questioning the fact that the Seahawks have been more consistent throughout the season sporting both a better conference record and a better overall mark. They took both meetings in this series this season straight up and against spread, winning by two at home in late-December and by seven on the road in late-February. They enter today’s matchup riding a five-game straight up win streak, covering their last four, including three as another dog. The Blue Hens beat a mediocre Dragons team and did come up big yesterday against the conference’s co-top team, the Tigers. They will be in big letdown mode here for sure. Both teams have scorers, however, in the two matchups this season NC Wilmington‘s top producers and rebounders have outplayed their counterparts. The Blue Hens are 4-10 against the spread the last 14 games played versus teams with the winning percentage above .600, 3-8 against the spread last 11 games played following an ATS win, and 2-8 against the spread the last 10 games played following straight up win. The Seahawks are 12-1 against the spread the last 13 games played as an underdog, 8-1 against the spread the last nine games played versus teams with a winning percentage above .600, and 18-4 against the spread the last 22 games played overall. Take NC Wilmington. Thank you.

Game 874.

5:30 pm pst/8:30 pm est.

My friends, the Seahawks have gotten significantly stronger as the season has progressed. They enter this matchup tied for the CAA’s top-spot with Towson at 15-3 in conference play. Overall, on the season, they possess a 22-8 record. They have won four in a row and seven of the last nine straight up and three and a row and six of the last nine against the spread. They have won and covered the last four meetings with the Cougars including both matchups this season, winning by eight on the road and six at home. The number is off here. The oddsmakers have made Charleston a small favorite (as a post), because they have covered their last six outings. But offensively NC Wilmington is just too strong with the 30th ranked scoring unit accounting for over 78.4 PPG. They are also monsters on the offensive boards ranking 16th nationally. This means they will get a ton of second-chance shots. The Cougars are 3-8 against the spread the last 11 games played followed a straight up win and 1-3-1 against the spread the last five neutral site games played as a favorite. The Seahawks are 15-3 against the spread the last 18 games played following a straight up win and 11-1 against the spread last 12 games played as an underdog. By the way, the dog is 4-1-1 against the spread the last six meetings in the series take UNCW. Thank you.

Iowa.

Game 817.

4:30 pm pst/7:30 pm est.

Iowa needs a win here to secure a top-four seed come the Big Ten Tournament next week. Now Illinois may or may not need this win today. What I mean by that is Wisconsin, which is in first-place in the conference at the moment one game ahead of Illinois, plays earlier in the day against Nebraska. If they win that game, and they should win that game, Illinois cannot share the conference title. But either way Iowa has been playing great basketball entering this matchup winning five in a row and eight of the last nine straight up and six of the last eight against the spread. Over the last month the Fighting Illini have not been so “fighting“, going 4-3 straight up their last seven and 4-9 against the spread your last 13. They’ve been inconsistent to say the least. It’s true that Illinois has taken the last four meetings in this series straight up covering the last three. However, in the only meeting this season the game went down to the wire with the Fighting Illini winning 87-83 at the Hawkeyes. Revenge will play a big factor here and the fact that Iowa can play spoiler and ruin Illinois’ chances to share the conference crown. You cannot argue with the fact that the Hawkeyes have one of the most explosive offenses in all of the nation averaging over 83.6 points per game. The Fighting Illini just won’t be able to keep pace offensively in this matchup. Iowa can just look at what Penn State did to Illinois just three days ago holding Illinois top-producer, Kofi Cockburn to just 11 points. The Hawkeyes are 4-1 against the spread the last five games played as a road on the dog. Take Iowa. Thank you.

Game 826.

3:00 pm pst.6:00 pm est.

This is a very big game for UNC Wilmington. They are currently tied with Towson at 15-3 in conference play for the Colonial Athletic Association crown. Now Towson plays early this morning against the leagues poorest team, Northeastern. When they win, and they should win, it puts UNC Wilmington in a position of a must-win situation here. Their opponent, Elon is only 7-11 in league play and enters this matchup dropping 13 of the last 19 outings. Look for the Seahawks to exact a little revenge here as well as they dropped the first meeting about a month ago to the Phoenix on the road, 78-65. But since then, they stepped that up quite a bit going 6-2 straight up and 5-3 against the spread. This is a team that’s healthy and possesses three double-digit scoring guards and a slew of phenomenal rebounders. Elon is 1-4 against the spread the last five games played versus teams with a winning record and 0-4 against the spread the last four games played on neutral sights. UNCW is 14-3 against the spread the last 17 games played following a straight up win and 16-5 against the spread the last 21 games played overall. Take the Seahawks. Thank you.

Tulane.

BB play.

Game 813.

12:00 pm pst/3:00 pm est.

Despite being listed as questionable, the prognosis on Jalen Cook is optimistic that he will play today. Even if the star guard sits here, please take into consideration that this team just beat Central Florida without him. They are deep at the guard position and they are a covering machine. Tulane is on an 8-3 against the spread run entering today’s match up. They have done quite well in this series covering six of the last eight meetings going back to 2017. Yes, I know SMU is 15-0 at home. However, the odds makers know this too and are begging you to follow them here because of it. But don’t because it is a trap. These two teams are practically mirror images of one another statistically both on offense and on defense. The Mustangs are a bit better on the boards however, they have dropped their last two against the spread and seem to have problems at home with teams that do not win on the road as they are 1-6 against the spread their last seven home games versus teams with the losing road record. By the way the underdog in the series of 6-2-1 against the spread the last nine meetings. The Green Wave need this win today to secure a top-four seed come the AAC conference tournament next week. Take Tulane. Thank you.

Colorado.

PAC-12 GOM.

Game 737.

6:30 pm pst/9:30 pm est.

Colorado is one of the hottest teams in the nation let alone the conference, winning six of their last seven straight up and five of those seven against this spread. With a win here the Buffaloes can clinch the number four seed and a first-round bye in the upcoming tournament. They took the first meeting approximately three weeks ago at home 81-76. Meanwhile Utah has dropped 14 of their last 17 straight up which includes their last two. They have been absolute point spread poison, dropping their last three and overall, 15 of the last 24. Outside of the Beavers, the Utes are the worst team in the conference and aren’t playing for anything here. If they had any pride or fight in them, they would’ve at least shown up over the month which they have not. Look for the trio of forwards, Walker, Battey, and DaSilva (35.5 PPG & 17.3 RPG combined) to once again dominant in the paint as they did in the first meeting. Utah is 1-4 against the spread the last five games played as a favorite. Take Colorado. Thank you.

Texas Tech.

Big 12 BB.

Game 653.

12:00 pm pst/3:00pm est.

With the win here and a little bit of help, Texas Tech has a chance at the Big 12 championship. Or at least a share of it. Yes, this is a team that is a perfect 18-0 at home while their road record is 3-6. I know this. But this line is off, sports fans. The combination of their top-20 ranked stingy defense and the Oklahoma State lackluster offense will prove to be fatal for the Cowboys here. If you recall the Red Raiders took the earlier meeting back in mid-January, 78-57 at home. They are on an outstanding 14-4 ATS run, all ignited by their stifling defense. Back in that earlier meeting, five players for Texas Tech scored in double-digits. Look for them to do the same here and exact a little revenge after dropping a pair of overtime decisions to Oklahoma State in the 2020/2021 campaign. If guard, Kevin MacCullar does not go today, no need to worry. They are loaded at the position. They’re also far better on the boards. The Red Raiders are 8-2 against the spread the last 10 games played following an ATS loss, 8-3 against the spread their last 11 games played as a favorite, and 5-1 against the spread the last six games played on Saturday. Take Texas Tech. Thank you.

ECU.

AAC GOW.

Game 659.

12:00 pm pst/3:00 pm est.

Normally I wouldn’t release a game that teams aren’t fighting for top-four seeding on the last day of the regular season. However, my friends, for the life of me I can’t figure out why the odds makers have made Wichita State a double-digit favorite over east Carolina. They both score about the same, they both allow about the same, and they both are similar on the offensive and defensive boards. Yes, it’s true that the last five meetings the Shockers have won straight up over the Pirates. But ECU comes in here a little bit hotter winning four of their last six both straight up and against the spread while Wichita State is just 2-4 straight up and against the spread their last six. ECU has a better coaching staff and the best player on the floor in guard, Tristen Newton (17.4 PPG & 4.4 RPG). The Shockers are 6-14 against the spread the last 20 games played as a home favorite and 1-7 against the spread their last eight games following a straight up win. Take the Pirates. Thank you.

Miami-Fl.

ACC GOW.

Game 615.

10:00 am pst/1:00 pm est.

My friends making Miami an underdog here is a huge mistake. Syracuse, to talk turkey, just isn’t the same team that we have seen over the years. There once swarming defense is a far cry from what it was just a few seasons ago. And their offense, lives and dies by the “3“. The Orange are currently on a three-game straight up losing streak and have failed to cover their last four. They lost the first meeting back at the beginning of January on the road 88-87. The Hurricanes have showed an enormous amount of consistency and are excellent on the road winning seven and covering eight of their last nine on the ACC trail. A win here with lock up the number four seed in the conference and we all know how important that is. Overall, they sport a 9-2 record on the road this season which is one of the best in college basketball. And by the way, they are 6-1 against this spread the last seven games coming into this matchup. Making the Hurricanes a ‘dog is a huge mistake as 1 Stated earlier as they are 20-8-1 ATS their last 29 games played as an underdog. Take Miami. Thank you.

Portland.

Game 866.

8:30 pm pst.

Guys, I get to see the West Coast conference in action firsthand as I am right next-door, one state over. I get to further see these games up close and personal a few times a year as they visit Las Vegas as in the case today. These two conference rivals split out there two matchups this season straight up. However, Portland has covered both including the most-recent approximately two weeks ago at home winning 92-60. The Toreros just cannot compete offensively with the Pilots four double-digits scoring starters. Neither can they compete on the boards with the core of Portland’s outstanding rebounders. San Diego is 0-6 against the spread of their last six games played as an underdog and 1-6-1 against the spread the last eight games played overall. Portland is 7-1 against the spread their last eight games played following a straight up loss and 12-4 against the spread their last 16 games played overall. Remember, San Diego will come in here with tired legs having played yesterday while Portland has had a few extra days off to rest, heal, and prepare. Take the Pilots. Thank you.

Sports fans, no one wants to finish last in their conference. With their final game of the season being played today, Northern Illinois is one-game ahead of Western Michigan for the conferences cellar-dwelling spot. No, it’s true they’re not a very good team in the win/loss column. However, they have been very good to us bettors, covering seven in a row an eight of their last nine. This season they have covered the only matchup with Ohio and over the last several seasons are 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this rivalry. The Bobcats are a good team. There is no doubting that. But they come off two consecutive losses and three of the last four both straight up and against the spread. They are absolutely horrible on the road going 1-4 against the spread the last five away from home. The Huskies are in a great situation here as they are 4-1 against the spread the last five games played at home, 7-0 against the spread the last seven games played as underdog, and 4-0 against the spread for the last four games played versus teams were the winning percentage above .600. Take Northern Illinois. Thank you.

Game 849.

4:30 pm pst.

The general public will be all over Mercer today folks. And guess what? They will be wrong. Western Carolina has covered five in a row in this series including the most-recent meeting approximately two weeks ago. They enter today’s match up on a three-game cover streak. On the other hand, the Bears are on a three-game slide, dropping seven of their last 10 overall straight up. They have split out their last six games against the number. They really don’t have the offensive prowess here to be laying this many points. Remember, this game is not a home game for them. It’s being played a neutral site in Asheville, North Carolina. So, no home-court advantage. The underdog is 4-0 against the spread the last four meetings in the series. The Catamounts are 4-0 against the spread the last four games versus teams with a straight up a losing record and 4-1 against spread the last five games played as an underdog. Take Western Carolina. Thank you.

Oregon.

PAC-12 GOW.

Game 789.

7:00 pm pst.

Oregon is currently as we say “riding the bubble “. They need to win their last two games of the regular season to help their situation. Yes, I know this team has dropped four of their last six games straight up. But they have Washington here and Washington State up next. Two opponents they can certainly beat. The Ducks crushed the Huskies in the first meeting, 84-56 to give them six consecutive straight up victories in this rivalry, going four and two against the spread. Speaking of Washington, they are on a horrible slide, going just 1-5 SU their last six straight up and splitting out their last four games at home against the spread. Besides the obvious, the fact that Oregon is better both offensively and defensively, they are also at full strength, which is very rare for any team in the nation this late in the season. The road team is 6-2 against the spread the last eight meetings in the series. The Huskies are 1-4 against the spread the last five games played versus teams was the winning percentage above .600. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Iowa.

Game 765.

6:00 pm pst/9:00 pm est.

Iowa needs a win here to maintain their top-four seed for the upcoming tournament. They are currently tied for fourth place in the Big Ten with Ohio State. Not only that, but a win here would keep them in the top-25 ranking nationally. Especially with a tough battle at Illinois up next to finish out the regular season. This is a team that’s one of the hottest in college basketball over the last month. They have rattled off seven straight up victories over the last eight games and five covers over the last seven. To add to their motivation, they have revenge on their minds as they dropped the earlier meeting with Michigan approximately two weeks ago at home. The Wolverines have been very erratic in recent weeks, splitting out their last six games both straight up and against the spread. The Hawkeyes just have way too much offense for the Wolverines. By the way Michigan is 3-13 against the spread the last 16 games played following an ATS win. Take Iowa. Thank you.

UTEP.

CUSA GOW.

Game 792.

6:00 pm pst.

Texas El Paso has Conference USA’s number one seed, North Texas up next. With that in mind they are currently 9-7 in league play and need a victory here for sure for better seeding in the upcoming conference tournament. Granted, their offense leaves a lot to be desired. However, any offense will be able to score on the very porous Rice defense which ranks 305th nationally. They took the first meeting 72-70 on the road to get an outright win and cover. This is a team that’s been very good to anybody who bets on them, covering seven of the last nine outings. On the other hand, the Owls have been absolutely atrocious dropping four of their last five straight up and five of the last six against the spread. The Miners are 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played versus teams with a winning straight up record and 4-1 spread the last five games played followed straight up loss. Take UTEP. Thank you.

Mavericks.

SLAM DUNK PLAY.

Game 512.

5:40 pm pst/8:40 pm est.

These two teams met just a few days ago in San Francisco as Dallas made a huge comeback finishing the contest on a 33-8 run. They took the road victory 107-101 over Golden State. At one point in the game, they were down 21-points in the third quarter. It is tough for any team to come back from that mentally. Particularly a Warriors squad that is really struggling right now. This is a team that’s dropped six of their last eight straight up and have only covered one outing since February 1. That’s right they have failed to cover 10 of their last 11 games. Meanwhile the Mavericks are one of the hottest teams in the league winning eight of their last 10 straight up and nine of the last 10 against the spread. And the No. 2 ranked Dallas defense will once again win this battle against Steph Curry and the rest of the struggling Golden State once-feared offense. The Warriors are just 3-10 against the spread the last 13 meetings in this series, 0-6 against the spread the last six games played on one day rest, and 1-7-1 against the spread the last nine games played as a favorite. By the way, the Mavericks are 4-1 against the spread the last five games played at home, 6-1-1 against the spread the last eight games played on one day rest, and 5-0 against the spread the last five games played as an underdog. Take Dallas. Thank you.

Hawks.

OM PLAY.

Game 502.

4:10 pm pst/7:10 pm est.

This is a quick turnaround from Thursday’s four-point loss in Chicago. In that matchup Atlanta superstar, Trae Young had a rare poor performance. He will go out of his way and lead the Hawks to a big victory here. Chicago has had trouble both winning and covering over the last few games going 0-2 both straight up and against the spread. And the Bulls have also had issues since to break on the boards. Well, this doesn’t bode well as they face one of the best defensive rebounding corps in the NBA. Look for a bit of revenge here as well as Atlanta lost all three meetings this season in this series. But these teams are in very different places currently. The Hawks are 10-2 against the spread the last 12 games played at home, 9-2 against the spread then last 11 games played on one day rest, and 5-0 against the spread the last five home games versus teams with a winning road record. Take the Hawks. Thank you.

Arkansas.

Fast Break play.

Game 706.

6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST.

Guys, there might not be another team in all of college basketball running as hot as Arkansas. The Razorbacks have won 13 of the last 14 games both straight up and against the spread. By the way, during that hot streak, they are perfect 4-0 against the ranked teams. They are sitting pretty in the conference and can definitely solidify a stronger seed with a big win here. While LSU sports some good numbers; they are just 3-7 away from home this season and have failed to cover seven of their last 11 outings. Arkansas took the first meeting at LSU, 65-58 giving them five covers over the last seven meetings in this series. This game means a lot more to the Razorbacks who are 4-0-1 against the spread their last five games played at home, 9-1-1 against the spread their last 11 games played versus teams with a winning straight up record, and 15-5-1agaiumst the spread the last 21 games played following a straight up win. Take Arkansas. Thank you.

Iowa State.

OM PLAY.

Game 669.

4:00 pm pst/7:00 pm est.

Most teams would kill for a 20-win season. Iowa State is currently 20-9 overall. However, the Cyclones are just 7-9 in conference play. But they have a chance to leap frog in the Big 12 with a few wins and some help. They are a remarkable 14-4 at home this season and possess one of the stingiest defenses in the nation. They took down Oklahoma State in overtime on the road about a month and a half ago to earn a win and cover. They are red-hot riding a four-game straight up win streak in which they have covered three of the four. The Cowboys, on the other hand are just 2-8 away from home, own some of the ugliest offensive statistics in college basketball, and are 3-8 straight up their last 11, only covering six of their last 22 contests. The favorite is 8-2 against the spread the last 10 meetings in this series. Take the Cyclones. Thank you.

Notre Dame.

ACC Game of the Week.

Game 695.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

The way a team finishes a season says a lot about them. Well folks, Florida State, which is a dismal 8-10 and Atlantic Coast play, has dropped eight of their last 10 outings straight up only covering one of those contests. On the other hand, Notre Dame is running red-hot, winning 11 of their last 13 straight up, going 10–3 against the spread. The Fighting Irish have the Tar Heels right behind them in ACC seeding and want this victory. They are definitely better on the offensive side of the court. But it is their defense that will earn them a big win and cover here as they will swarm the lackluster Seminoles offense. Speaking of Florida State, they will be in big letdown mode here after Saturday’s one-point outright victory as a nine-point underdog at Virginia. Look for the air to leak out of the balloon here. The Fighting Irish are 5-0 against the spread the last five games played on the road, 11-3 against the spread the last 14 games played following a straight up win, and 8-1 I against the spread the last nine games played versus teams with a winning straight up record. Take Notre Dame. Thank you.

Kansas.

BIG 12 GOW.

Game 627.

5:00 pm pst.

The number six ranked team in the nation will further solidify their top-spot in the Big 12 conference after a big win today. Believe it or not they follow today’s match up with a Wednesday contest at home against TCU again. Then they finish up the regular season also at the Allen Fieldhouse against Texas. Kansas wants this win to have the psychological edge for the meeting in two days. They have certainly had their way in this series winning eight consecutive meetings and nine of the last 10 overall covering seven of those last 10. Following a four-game win streak in which they covered the final three, the Jayhawks lost on Saturday at the Bears. They will bounce back here and finish their season very, very strong. I am not concerned with the fact that TCU is 2-1 their last three straight up, covering all three. Folks, they just don’t have the offensive talent to compete here with the number 17th ranked scoring offense in the nation. Look for guards, Ochai Agbaji and Christian Braun, who combine for 35.7 PPG and 11.3 RPG to control the tempo and take this game over. By the way, the road team is 5-0 ATS the last five meetings in the series. Take the Jayhawks. Thank you.

Baylor.

NCAAB GOM.

Game 873.

6:00 pm pst.

The biggest game on the Monday board takes place in the Big 12 as Baylor travels to the Frank C. Irwin Jr. Center to take on Texas. This game has huge implications for the regular season conference race and seeding both in the conference and the Big Dance as well. The Bears dissected the Longhorns in the first meeting approximately two weeks ago, 80-63. That marked the fifth straight Baylor win in the series and the fourth consecutive against the spread cover. Since their number two player, LJ Cryer when down, this team has rattled off three consecutive victories. This includes a Saturday 10-point win over Kansas. Another big win here and they will jump up and put themselves in a perfect place in the conference as well as leapfrogging a few teams in the national rankings. While Texas is a very good team, they have failed to cover their last three outings and six of the last nine overall contests. This matchup will come down to defense and rebounding and the matchups certainly favor Baylor here. The Longhorns are just 2-5 against the spread the last seven games played at home 4-12 against the spread the last 16 home games played versus teams with a winning road record, and 1-5 against the spread the last six games played following a straight up win. Take the Bears. Thank you.

UCLA.

PAC-12 GOM.

Game 687.

1:00 pm pst/4:00 pm est.

To avoid a slide in the polls following Thursday’s loss at Oregon, UCLA must bounce back strong here and get a big win. The Bruins won three in a row and four of their last five both straight up and against the spread prior to the loss to the Ducks. Look for them to redeem themselves here against the league doormat, Beavers. Oregon State is absolutely horrible. They haven’t had a straight up win this New Year dropping 13 straight games and only covering two of their last 11 outings. The earlier meeting was a push for UCLA at home, 81-65. I know this is a big number, but following the loss and looking to make a statement they will come out here with a vengeance. On both sides of the court, they significantly outclass Oregon State scoring nine points a game more and allowing 12 points a game less. Look for their big front court to dominate in the paint and on the glass in this matchup. They are 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games played as a favorite while the Beavers are 1-4 against the spread the last five games played at home. Take UCLA. Thank you.

UNC.

ACC GOM.

Game 623.

11:00 am pst/2:00 pm est.

This may be an in-state rivalry but North Carolina is looking to move back into a good spot for postseason positioning. Coming off a home loss last Wednesday to Pittsburgh, they have now rattled off two consecutive wins at Virginia Tech and in their own house against Louisville. The Tar Heels still have a chance at the Atlantic Coast Conference’s top-spot and big win here will get them closer to that goal. They face a Wolfpack team that has just one win and cover over the last eight outings and are a dismal, 1-8 in conference home games this season. In the earlier meeting back at the end of January, North Carolina shredded NC State, 100-80 at home. That gave them seven wins and covers in the last eight meetings with their conference rival. They have just too much offensive power for the lackluster offense of the Wolfpack. Look for the Tar Heels to make a statement to the rest of the conference here. NC state is 1-5 against the spread their last six games played as underdog, 0-4 against the spread the last four games played against teams with a winning record, and 1-5 against the spread the last six games played following a straight up loss. Take North Carolina. Thank you.

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

SUN BELT GOW.

Game 889.

4:30 pm pst.

To say this line is a little off, is an understatement. Coastal Carolina should be at least a 10 or 12-point favorite. Arkansas Little Rock possesses some of the poorest offensive and defensive statistics in college basketball. On both sides of the court, they are severely outclassed here. The Chanticleers can score points, are pretty good from the floor, beyond the arc, and are one of the best in the country ranking 11th on the offensive boards. Defensively, they are just as impressive holding teams to 65.5 points per game ranking in the top-20 in field-goal percentage at three-point percentage, and are pretty darn good on the defensive glass as well. They took the earlier matchup 65-49 at home to get a win and cover as a 10.5-point favorite. They enter today’s contest winning three of their last four both straight up and against the spread while the Trojans have won just one game since the end of January going 1-8 straight up and have only covered one game and that same time span. They are a dismal 7-22-1 against the spread the last 30 games played as an underdog. Take Coastal Carolina. Thank you.

Toronto Raptors.

NBA BEST BET.

Game 505.

4:10 pm pst.

The Hornets are probably wishing the All-Star break could’ve lasted a little longer as they went into it dropping nine of the last 10 straight up and only covering two of their last 11.  Since Gordon Haywood went down this team is just 3-10 straight up and their offense is only putting up solid performances against weaker adversaries. The Raptors have won and covered both meetings in this series this season by 12 and 15 points and tip-off the second half of the campaign fresh and predominantly healthy. They went into the break on a 9-2 run both straight up and against the spread. Look for the swarming Toronto defense to frustrate the slumping Charlotte offense. The Raptors are 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played on the road, 7-2 against the spread the last nine games played as a favorite, and 24-8 against the spread the last 32 games played overall. The Hornets are 1-9-1 against the spread the last 11 games played at home 0-4-1 against the spread the last five games played as underdog and 1-5-2 against the spread the last eight games played overall. Take Toronto. Thank you.

Portland.

OM GOM Play.

Game 843.

7:00 pm pst/10:00 pm est.

Sports fans, for the life of me I cannot understand this line. I have Portland about a 10-point favorite in this matchup. I understand they’re on the road but this is a team that is 12-2 against the spread the last 14 road games. They took the first matchup at home 64 to 56 to earn a win and cover. They are currently riding a five-game straight up win streak and are on an astounding 11-3 ATS overall run since mid-December. They have an outstanding starting-five. Now please take a note that starting guard Michael Meadows has missed the last three games and is listed as questionable here. But also take a note that they have won those three games in his absence. They are really loaded with depth and talent. Pacific is a hot mess with an overall 8-19 record which does include a 3-9 conference mark. They will once again have a real problem on the boards in this matchup as they just don’t have a corps of solid rebounders. Take Portland. Thank you.

Blazers.

WG MOVE.

Game 580.

7:00 pm pst/10:00 pm est.

With all respect to the Golden State Warriors, they went into the All-Star break dropping four of their last five straight up and seven straight against the spread. They have a big schedule over the upcoming weeks and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got caught maybe with a bit over-rested coming in here against the Portland Trailblazers team that has won and covered their last four games before All-Star break. Yes, I know the Blazers are a different team than we were accustomed to seeing them with a new lineup. However, their lineup has meshed quite well and had some time to further get in sync. This is way too many points for the Warriors to lay on the road where they are just 3-7-1 against the spread the last 11. Take Portland. Thank you.

Bulls.

BB Play.

Game 574.

5:10 pm pst.

The Chicago Bulls going into the All-Star break we’re playing some outstanding basketball finishing the first half of the campaign with five consecutive wins and covering five of their last six outings. They won and covered both meetings with the Atlanta Hawks this season both at home and on the road. The Hawks aren’t same team they used to be and when they hit the road things tend to get ugly as they are 2-6 against spread their last eight games played as a visitor and 1-4 against the spread the last five games played as a road underdog. It’s hard to argue with the fact that the Chicago Bulls are 8-2 against spread the last 10 games played at home and 20-7 against the spread the last 27 games played as a home favorite. Lay the short price with the Bulls here. Thank you.

L Tech.

CTB play.

Game 787.

5:00 pm pst/8:00 pm est.

Louisiana Tech has had their way with Rice without a doubt. They took the earlier meeting about a month ago 80-63 at home to give them four consecutive wins and covers against their conference rival. Speaking of the conference, the Bulldogs are very respectable 10-4 in league action this season and enter today’s match up on a 3-1 SU run. In the earlier matchup their top-scorer and rebounder, Kenneth Lofton Jr. shredded the Owls for 19 points and 13 rebounds as their defense swarmed the perimeter allowing just 15% shooting from beyond the arc. Well, the Owls come in here dropping three in a row straight up and four and a row against the spread getting lit up for 80 points per game during their current slide. The Bulldogs are eight and two against the spread the last 10 games played as a road favorite 16 and five against the spread the last 21 games played overall on the road and 32-15-1 against the spread the last 48 games played overall Take Louisiana Tech. Thank you.

Wisconsin.

BIG TEN GOW.

Game 735.

6:00 pm pst/9:00 pm est.

Well friends we all know what happened following Saturday’s Wisconsin, 77-63 victory over Michigan. The incident will certainly fire-up this team today as they face Big Ten doormat, Minnesota. The Badgers, which are the No. 13 team in the country, are just a game behind the Boilermakers in the conference for the top spot. They could gain some ground here very easily as they outclass the Golden Gophers on both sides of the court. They are running hot, winning six of the last eight straight up and covering their last two. They have dominated their opponent here taking the last three meetings in a row. That does include a six-point win in the earlier meeting at the end of January at home. The price is very short here as they are on the road facing a Minnesota squad that is just 3-7-1 Ats their last 11 games played when playing host. By the way, they’re also 0-8 ATS their last eight games played following an against the spread win. Take the Badgers. Thank you

Virginia Tech.

ACC GOM.

Game 739.

6:00 pm pst/9:00 pm est.

We are going to take advantage of a mistake made by the oddsmakers in this contest. Because Virginia Tech is 8-8 in ACC action this season, they are a very short price here. This line should be at least double-digits. Georgia Tech isn’t just one of the worst teams in the in the conference at 4-12, they are one of the worst teams in the country. They bring their 234th ranked offense (68.9 PPG) into this matchup to face the 21st ranked defense in the nation (61.7 PPG allowed) The Hokies Will need every win they can get right now to better their situation come mid-March. Trust me folks, this is a win they can surely get. The Yellow Jackets will be playing their third game in five days and will come in here with tired legs. By the way, those first two games were both played on the road. A lot of traveling is going to add to their exhaustion. Things go from bad to worse for them as they face Virginia Tech, which following a six-game straight up winning streak, going 5-1 against the spread, suffered an ugly loss at home against North Carolina on Saturday. Look for them to come back with a vengeance, redeem themselves, and get closer to their goal for mid-March. Georgia Tech is just 3-11-1 against the spread the last 15 games played at home. Take the Hokies. Thank you.

Wake Forest.

Fast Break.

Game 709.

4:00 pm pst/7:00 pm est.

Clemson is on a six-game slide in which they haven’t covered a single contest. Guess what folks? They’re not gonna’ cover today either. Wake Forest, which is a very healthy team, comes in here possessing one of the most explosive offenses in college basketball accounting for over 78.5 PPG on 48.4% shooting from the floor. Now the Tigers defense isn’t all that bad, but they just can’t rebound at all. And that will kill them here against this powerful offense. The Demon Deacons are climbing up the conference standings at 11-6 in ACC action this year. The Tigers are tied for the worst league mark at 4-12.  Wake Forest is 5-1 ATS their last 16 games played following an ATS loss, 5-1 ATS their last six games played on the road, and 8-3 ATS their last 11 games played overall. Take the Demon Deacons. Thank you.

UNLV.

MWC GOW.

Game 655.

8:00 pm pst.

The wrong team is favored in this matchup sports fans. Following a six-game straight up losing streak, Nevada had a very big win in Utah State. Then they beat San Jose State both at home and on the road. But let’s face it, San Jose State is one of the worst teams in the country and definitely the biggest doormat in the Mountain West Conference going 1-14 in league play. UNLV is starting to stride winning five of the last seven straight up and six of their last seven against the number. Both teams mirror themselves in offensive statistics, however when it comes to defense, the Rebels are far better possessing a frustrating “D” that yields only 65.4 points per game. They have faced and beaten some tougher opponents over the last six weeks and come in here with some confidence. The Wolfpack are just 1-7 ATS there last eight at home, and 4-12 ATS their last 16 overall. Take UNLV. Thank you.

SEC GAME OF THE WEEK.

Arkansas Razorbacks.

Game 631.

Tuesday, February 22, 2022.

4:00 pm pst/7:00 pm est.

If there was a game on the card today that certainly has an off-line, this game is it. Arkansas should be a favorite of at least two baskets. The Razorbacks have very quietly risen to be the number three team in the Southeastern Conference at 10-4 in league play. Overall, they sport a 21-6 record. And once again very quietly, they are just about the hottest team in the nation winning both 11 of their last 12 straight up and more importantly for us, against the spread. Florida is struggling for sure, splitting out their last eight games going 4-4 straight up and only covering once since the end of January, riding a 1-5 ATS run. This is a team that was once feared from downtown but have now sunk to hitting just about 30% beyond the arc. This doesn’t bode well in this matchup because they just don’t have the inside strength to match with Arkansas’ powerful lineup, which accounts are over 77.3 PPG. The Razorbacks also counter defensively with a very stingy stop-unit yielding just 40.6% from the floor. Offensively, when your number four scorer, Jaylin Williams is named the SEC Co-Player of the Week, that just shows you how potent your starting lineup really is. After several years of the Gators dominating this series, the tide is turning for sure. The Razorbacks took the most-recent meeting about a season ago, 75-64 and are even better this season. Arkansas is 6-0 ATS the last six games played as a favorite, 5-0 ATS the last five games played on the road, and 5-0 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take the Razorbacks. Thank you.

Buffalo

MAC GOW.

Game 621.

4:00 pm pst.

With one of the most potent and explosive offenses in the nation, Buffalo is a true force not just in the MAC but in all of college basketball. They are averaging over 81.4 points per game on the season and riding a six-game straight up winning streak, going 4-2 against the spread. Not only does Miami not possess the talent to compete in this matchup, but they are also crushing any bettors who follow them, covering just once in the New Year going a miserable 1-13 against the spread in 2022. These two teams met at the end of December when the Bulls were trying to find themselves and since then they truly have. These are two entirely different teams since that December 10-point loss. Buffalo exacts their revenge here and gets another big conference win. Take the Bulls. Thank you.

NIU.

FAST BREAK.

Game 625.

4:00 pm pst.

A game doesn’t have to be pretty for us to make money with it. Two of the Mid-American Conference’s lower tier representatives face each other here. Northern Illinois took the first meeting, a mid-January matchup, 77 -70 at home. They enter this contest covering five of their last seven games including three in a row. Not only is Eastern Michigan a losing team, they are pointspread poison covering just once over their last six outings. When the Huskies take the road, they get bettors paid going 6-1 ATS their last seven away from home and they are also 4-1 ATS their last five in the underdog role. And, by the way, the ‘dog is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series. Take Northern Illinois. Thank you.

Penn State Nittany Lions.

Monday Money Maker.

Game 867.

4:00 pm pst/7:00 pm est.

The line is without a doubt off in this matchup. This game should be at least a pick em or even Penn State -1 or -2 points. The Nittany Lions have won and covered four consecutive meetings against the Terrapins. They enter this matchup winning their last two outings and covering five of the last six. Neither team are offensive power houses. But Penn State can play some defense for sure. Plus, they’re showing a little bit of pride and grit towards the end of the regular season campaign, finally getting in sync as a team. Maryland is absolutely crushing bettors once again this season going 4-10 ATS their last 14 games played at home, 2-7 ATS the last nine games played as a favorite, and 1-7 ATS the last eight games played as a home favorite. Take the Nittany Lions. Thank you.

IPFW.

SD.

Game 839.

11:00 am pst.

This match up heavily favors the Mastodons, which took the first meeting a few weeks ago, 70-60. They are riding a six-game SU win streak going 5-1 ATS, and on both sides of the court outclass the Panthers here. Milwaukee, which has been bitten by the injury-bug and is a bit depleted. And recently got even further banged-up losing the services of their starting guard, Patrick Baldwin Jr. This is going to play a major factor in this contest as IPFW runs with a four-guard set and will control the tempo of this game. The Mastodons are 9-1 ATS the last 10 games played as a favorite and 7-1 ATS the last eight games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take IPFW. Thank you.

Providence.

BIG EAST GOW.

Game 823.

10:00 am pst.

Providence, the top team in the Big East, took a tough loss to Villanova just five days ago. This followed an eight-game win streak. So, look for them to come out here with a vengeance to redeem themselves and get back on track against the lowly, Butler team which is on a 5-10 straight up run. When these two teams met approximately a month ago the Friars beat the Bulldogs, 69 -62 at home. They are laying a very short price here on the road, a place in which they have won six of seven straight up this season and are riding an overall 7-1 ATS run away from home. The Bulldogs are just horrible playing host, going 2-5 ATS their last seven at home. Take Providence. Thank you.

Arizona.

SMASH.

Game 804.

7:00 pm pst.

Arizona is not very happy about being the number three team in the country. Gonzaga and Auburn, which are ranked number one and number two presently also have just two defeats. ‘Zona is looking to leapfrog in the polls. And I will look for the Wildcats here to make a big statement against a Pac-12 rival which currently sits in fourth place in the conference. If you’re concerned about laying this many points… please understand that the Wildcats are 12-6 against the spread this season laying double-digits. This is a team that is perfect at home this season, donning a 14-0 mark at the McKale Center. The Ducks are not a bad team at all. But being a good team and facing a great team is a huge difference. Arizona is accounting for nearly 85 points per game and possess the number one ranked offensive rebounding unit in the nation. There is just no way Oregon is going to even slow down this offense. As a matter fact, they will get it steamrolled here. It’s gonna be so bad, it’s gonna look like duck season opened today in Tucson. Lol The Ducks, which by the way, failed to cover their last five outings, fall way short offensively in this matchup. By the way there’s one more major factor I’d like you to take into consideration… revenge. Oregon has taken seven consecutive meetings against Arizona, including sweeps over the last three seasons. But that was the past and today is the present and these are two entirely different themes. Take the Wildcats to maul the Ducks. Thank you

LSU.

OM.

Game 671.

12:30 pm pst.

To say Louisiana State outclasses South Carolina would be an understatement. Yes, they have taken the last three meetings in the series straight up going 2-1 against the spread. And yes, they have a better offense and will certainly dominate the boards in this matchup. But it is, the Tigers defense, their 19th ranked defense which allows just 61.3 points per game that will absolutely frustrate the Gamecocks offense, or should I say lack of offense lol. South Carolina comes off two consecutive wins, their first back-to-back victories this month, against Georgia, which is the conference doormat. And needed a last-second three-pointer in OT to beat Mississippi which just happens to be another conference cellar dweller. LSU comes in here riding a three-game win streak. This is a relatively healthy team consisting of five starters that are all either flirting with or averaging double-digits. South Carolina just can’t keep pace offensively here. The road team is 12-5-1 ATS the last 17 meetings and the favorite is 6-1-1 ATS the last eight meetings. Take the Tigers.

Auburn.

BB.

Game 651.

11:00 am pst.

The SECs top representative and the number two team in the country, the Auburn Tigers are playing outstanding basketball. Following their first defeat of the season back in November, the team then ran off 19 consecutive victories. Well, they fell to Arkansas less than two weeks ago. Followed that up with big wins over both Texas A&M and Vanderbilt. They now face a Florida team that they absolutely shredded six weeks ago, 85-73 for a big win and cover at home. They are now laying less than two baskets here against a Gators team that just can not keep stride offensively. The Tigers are averaging over 80 points per game while the Gators account for just 70 points per game. There’s also a huge mismatch on the boards here. Auburn, one of the best in the country on the offensive boards, so they get a ton of second chance shots. Florida has issues on the glass and this will be a problem in this match up. The Tigers big men recorded nine blocks in the first matchup and have since improved, if you can fathom that. Look for the Auburn front court to dominate both on the boards here and in the paint. The favorite is 8-1 ATS the last nine meetings in the series. Florida is 0-5 ATS the last five games played overall. This game gets ugly. Take Auburn. Thank you.

Kentucky.

SEC GOW.

Game 630.

10:00 am pst.

In this week‘s polls, Kentucky ranks fourth in the nation, however they are still trailing Auburn by several games in the conference. They want every win they can get right now because they would love that top spot in the SEC. And this game is certainly one they can win. There’s no question that Alabama can score offensively with them, but the Crimson Tide and their 324th ranked scoring defense does not match up well with Alabama’s 11th rank scoring office. On the flipside, the Wildcats will frustrate their opponent here with their stifling defense just as they did two weeks ago in their 66-55 win and cover in Alabama. Catching the Wildcats coming off of loss following their six-game win streak will extra motivate them here against a conference rival. The Crimson Tide are 0-6 ATS their last six games played following a SU win, 1-5-1 ATS as their last seven games played versus teams with a winning percentage above .600, and 3-14-1 ATS their last 18 games played overall. Take Kentucky. Thank you

IPFW.

Game 891.

5:00 pm pst.

Green Bay possesses some of the ugliest stats in the nation: 347th in scoring, 354th in three-point shooting, and 350th in offensive rebounding. The Phoenix are no offensive threat whatsoever, averaging a dismal, 61.0 PPG. There is a major mismatch here as IPFW took them down, 71-55 for a win and cover just 12 days ago at home. The Mastodons have won five in a row and 11 of their last 14 contests SU and own a remarkable 12-4 ATS mark over the last several months. In the earlier matchup IPFW dominated the boards as their backcourt tandem, Chong Qui and Pipkins diced Green Bay up from the floor. The Mastodons are 8-1 ATS the last nine games played as a favorite, 8-3 ATS the last 11 games played following a SU win, and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a losing record. The Phoenix are 0-5 ATS the last five games played as an underdog, 0-5 ATS the last five games played following a SU loss, and 0-4 ATS the last four games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take IPFW. Thank you.

Santa Clara.

WCC GOM.

Game 851.

7:00 pm pst.

There is no doubt in my mind that this line should be Santa Clara -10. Granted over the years Loyola Marymount has been a thorn in their side. But that was the past and this is the present. The Broncos thumped the Lions 79-60 exactly 14 days ago. Since then and before their last game, they went six and one straight up and against the spread. Then on Saturday took an ugly loss to the Don‘s. Big bounce back mode here for Santa Clara as they face a Loyola Marymount team riding a seven-game straight up losing streak and only covering three of their last 10 outings. Look for a huge mismatch between the explosive Broncos offense and the doormat of a Lions defense. The road team 8-1 ATS the last nine meetings in the series. Santa Clara is 4-1 the last five games played on the road, 6-1 ATS the last seven games played as a favorite. Loyola Marymount is 2-6 ATS the last eight games played at home and 2-7 ATS their last nine games played against teams with the winning percentage over.600. Take the Broncos. Thank you

Purdue.

Game 719.

6:00 pm pst.

Purdue eked out a one-point win over Maryland on Sunday. They were a 17-point favorite. The Boilermakers will come out here fired-up and motivated to get back in sync and earn a big win over a Wildcats team they stomped, 80-60 three weeks ago. Purdue possesses a top-10 offense in several categories and the second-ranked defensive rebounding corps in the nation. The Wildcats just can’t compete on the scoreboard here especially not being able to snag any second-chance shots. The Boilermakers are 4-1 ATS the last five games played following an ATS loss. The wildcats are 2-6 ATS the last eight games played at home. Take Purdue. Thank you.

Game 659.

6:00 pm pst.

Kentucky should be favored by at least a few buckets here. But, with Washington Jr. listed as questionable, the oddsmakers are looking to trap you. The Wildcats are loaded with talent at the guard position. The team can put some distance between them and the Volunteers in the SEC standings, putting them closer to the top team, the Tigers. Kentucky, accounting for over 81.3 PPG, on 49.1% shooting, and grabbing 37.8 offensive RPG, has too much for Tennessee to handle. The road team is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

The top two-teams in the conference square off here. Providence is a perfect 14-0 at home while Villanova is just 6-4 as a visitor. Both teams are winning but the Wildcats are just 2-6 ATS the last eight games played overall. They are also 6-13 ATS the last nineteen games played on the road, 1-4 ATS the last five games played as a favorite, and 0–4 ATS the last four games played following a SU win. The Flyers are money, going 4-0 ATS the last four games played as a home ‘dog, 18-6 ATS the last 24 games played overall as a ‘dog, and 13-3 ATS the last 16 games played following an ATS loss. Take Providence. Thank you.

BIG TEN GOW.

Game 605.

3:30 pm pst.

Michigan State got back on track with Saturdays, 76-61 thumping of Indiana. The Spartans are just a few games out in the Big Ten and need everyone they can get. This is a game they can certainly get. Losers of three in a row and six of their last seven, Penn State does not have the offense to keep pace here. And defensively, they will get shredded by MSU’s 11th ranked three-point shooting squad going up against their 246th ranked three-point defense. The Spartans took December’s matchup, 80-64 giving them eight wins over the last 10 meetings in this series SU. The road team is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series. Michigan State is 6-2 ATS the last eight games played on the road. Take the Spartans. Thank you.

Two evenly matched teams. But Joe Burrow has already won on a national level at LSU. And Zac Taylor is 100% in the NFL postseason. We all know what happened to Sean McVay and the Rams the last time they made it to the Big Game. Not to overlook the fact that the Bengals have faced and beaten some tougher competition to get here. By the way, without question, Los Angeles is carrying way more pressure here. With all sincerity, Stafford isn’t the best when under pressure. Cincinnati is 6-0 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning record, 5-0 ATS the last six games played as a ‘dog, 6-0 ATS the lats six games played following an ATS win, 3-0-1 ATS the last four games played in the playoffs, and 7-0 ATS the last seven games played overall. I like the Bengals outright. But I will take the points here. Thank you.

The combination of the lackluster Tulsa offense (67.6 PPG) and the swimming Cincinnati defense (63.1 PPG allowed) doesn’t bode well for the Golden Hurricanes.

The Tigers are on a 2-7 SU skid and are getting steamrolled by opposing offenses. The favorite is 4-1 ATS the last five game splayed in this series.

Marquette which is on an 8-2 SU run going 9-1 ATS, has too much talent for the struggling Butler squad which has dropped three in a row and seven of their last nine SU (4-5 ATS). The Golden Eagles have taken five of the last six meetings in this series both SU and ATS. The Bulldogs just don’t possess the offensive athleticism and talent to keep pace here. The roads team is 5-2 ATS the lasts seven meetings in this series. Marquette is 6-1 ATS the last seven games played on the road. Butler is 1-6 ATS the last seven games played as a home ‘dog.

Whether it be from the line or beyond the arc, this squad is one of the nation’s most-accurate and possess a monster rebounding corps. The Bonnies which are 1-6 ATS the last seven game splayed on the road, 0-4 ATS the last four games played an underdog, and 3-12 ATS the last 15 games played overall, just can’t compete here.

The No. 3 team in college basketball and the Big ten’s top seed, Purdue just took down the struggling Michigan team only five days ago at home, 82-76. The No. 4 scoring offense in the nation (84.5 PPG) also ranks 3rd nationally in both FG% (50.8%) and 3-pt% (41.1%). The Wolverines just can’t keep pace here. To make matters worse, they won’t be able to get too many second-chance shots as Purdue leads the nation on the defensive boards. Take the Boilermakers. Thank you.

Old Dominion, which is on a 2-4 slide both SU and ATS, just won’t be able to even slow down the MT State high-flying offensive assault. The Boilermakers trio of double-digit scoring guards, Jefferson, Sims, and Lawrence will go uncontested here. The home team is 5-2 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. The Monarchs are 0-4 ATS the last four games played on the road and 0-5 ATS the last five games played as an underdog.

ACC GOW.

Game 713.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Game 709.

1:00 pm pst.

At 8-2 in Big Ten play, MSU sits just behind Illinois for the conference’s top-spot. The Spartans will take no prisoners here looking for revenge. Following a nine-game domination of the Scarlett Knights, the Spartans dropped an embarrassing late-January meetings a season ago, 67-37. The had this game circled since the schedule was announced. Rutgers and their 276th ranked offense (67.5 PPG) just can’t keep pace here. Look for Michigan State’s 11th ranked three-point shooting squad to exploit the weak Rutgers perimeter defense. The Spartans are 6-1 ATS the last seven games played on the road, 8-3 ATS the last 11 games played following an ATS loss, and 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played vs. tams with a winning record. Take Michigan State. 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.

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.

Oregon.

Slam Dunk.

Game 839.

7:00 pm pst.

Oregon wants this win badly. After jumping out to a 15-2 lead at home vs. Colorado last Tuesday, they dropped the game, 82-78. That was the Ducks first defeat since mid-December. Oregon bounced back in Saturday’s 78-56 thumping of Oregon State. Now they get their revenge here. In the first meeting, Colorado shot 50% from the floor. Very unlikely they can duplicate that success as the team is an overall 43.3% on the season. They will also be without their coach, Tad Boyle due to Covid-19. The Ducks are healthy, motivated, and looking to serve up some revenge here. The favorite is 12-2 ATS the last 14 meetings in this series. The Buffaloes are 2-8-2 ATS the last 12 games played at home, 3-8 ATS the last 11 games played following a SU loss, and 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take Oregon. 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.

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.

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.

Let’s start with the health of Jimmy Garoppolo. I don’t care what you hear about his shoulder or his thumb. It’s all propaganda and no merit. The QB is healthy and playing some of his best football ever. The offense is now utilizing Deebo Samuel very creatively and will move the chains here. On the other side, you have on of the best QB’s in the history of the sport having a career year. There hasn’t too many opponents, if any this season that has contained Aaron Rodgers when he is 100%. Both teams will be able to have success in the air which will allow both offenses to open up their ground games. When these two teams met in September, it resulted in 58 points scored making it the third consecutive matchup going over the total just since January of 2020. Green Bay comes in here with six of their last seven going over the total. Granted San Francisco, just three of their last eight have gone over the total. But in all sincerity, they really haven’t faced too many spectacular offenses. This game flies over the total folks. The over is 4-1 the last five meetings between these two teams, 5-0 in the Packers last five vs. the NFC and 7-0 their last seven playoff games, 5-2 in the 49ers last seven Saturday games and 9-4 in their last 13 games played following an ATS win. Take the over. 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.

ACC GOM.

Game 689.

4:00 pm pst.

It’s hard to believe Georgia tech is the defending conference champion. They are dead-last in the ACC at 1-5 in league play. Wake Forest is healthier, far superior at both ends of the court, and come in here brimming with confidence following Saturday’s decisive win over Virginia. The Yellow Jackets are 1-8-1 ATS L10 home games, 2-7-1 ATS L10 vs. winners, and 3-8-1 ATS L12 overall. Take the Demon Deacons. 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.

Game 809.

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.

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.

Game 525.

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. Thank you.

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.
