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. 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.

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.

Milwaukee Bucks.

Slam Dunk Play.

Game 535.

4:10 pm pst.

Don’t be fooled by the Saturday night outcome of these two teams. Milwaukee was playing their second of back-to-back nights and overall, the team was tired. But still Antetokounmpo and Middleton were unstoppable. Look for the pair of forwards to lead a team looking for vengeance here and exploit the NBA’s 29th ranked scoring defense with their third ranked scoring offense. The Bucks are 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road and 5-2 ATS the last seven games played following an ATS loss. Take Milwaukee. 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.

Arkansas.

OM GOM.

Game 275.

9:00 am pst.

The struggling Penn State team which finished the campaign losing five of seven, is in real trouble here. The offense which averaged just 26.3 PPG, relies solely upon the pass. Well, their top receiver, Jahan Dotson opted-out.  Without him, they have to run the ball with a rushing unit that ranks 118th. Like I said, they are in real trouble here. The Nittany Lions also lost some big -name defenders. The Razorbacks are without their top wideout. But folks this really doesn’t affect them because they are a running team, ranking 14th nationally on the ground. And all ball-carriers are expected to play here guys. Remember this is a team that ended the season 4-1 with their only defeat, a seven-point loss to the mighty Alabama. They are 16-7-1 ATS the last 24 games played overall while PSU is 1-5 ATS the last six games played vs. SEC opponents. Lay the short price here. Take Arkansas. 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.  

Clemson.

Game 252.

5:45 pm pst.

Despite a disappointing 9-3 (LOL) season, Clemson began to stride in October to ride a five-game SU win streak, covering four of the five outings. The Tigers just simply have more talent on both sides of the ball than does the Cyclones. Iowa State at 7-5 did have a disappointing campaign. Their biggest offensive threat was running back Hall, who has opted out for the NFL draft. Not only was he nearly a 1500-yard rusher with 20 TD’s, but he was also the units third leading receiver with another three TD’s in the air. The “O” will also be missing several other wideouts here. They will have their two top wide receivers. But Clemson counters with the nation’s 2nd ranked scoring defense, allowing just 15.0 PPG. Tigers had coach, Dabo Swinney has won nine and covered 10 of his last 11 Bowl/playoff games. Clemson is 14-2 ATS the last 16 games played in the month of December, 10-3 ATS the last 13 Bowl games played, and 16-5 ATS the last 21 games played neutral sites. Iowa State is 1-4 ATS the last five games played in the month of December, 1-5 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-6 ATS the last seven games played on neutral sites. Take the Tigers. 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.

Houston.

WG play.

Game 507.

4:40 pm pst.

Sports fans, Houston is not a winning team at 8-18. However, the Rockets are on an 8-1 ATS run. Atlanta, for a while, were money at home. Lately, they are not. The Hawks have failed to cover five straight at the State Farm Arena. While both teams have a slew of injuries to deal with, this is still way too many points here. Take Houston. Thank you.

Golden State.

BB Play.

Game 503.

4:10 pm pst.

Steph Curry turned in two poor performances in a row and the team comes off a big loss to Philly on Saturday. Expect Curry to light up the scoreboard here and the team will bounce back in a big way. The warriors are 4-1 ATS the last five games played at the Pacers, 10-1 ATS the last 11 games played following a SU loss, and 23-8-1 ATS the last 32 games played overall. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Tampa Bay.

HR play.

Game 126.

1:25 pm pst.

This is the time of year when cream rises to the top in the NFL. Over the course of the week, I keep hearing one thing. The Bills are a very good road team. Looking closely at their away record, they beat the Dolphins and the disappointing Chiefs, lost to the Titans, lost to the Jaguars, then beat two last-place doormats in the Jets and Saints. Now they must travel to Tampa to take on a Bucs team that has won and covered three straight. Tom Brady will dissect and decimate the overworked and overrated Buffalo defense here. On the flipside, Josh Allen is in for a long day lining up against a Tampa Bay “D” that is back at full strength and ranks 2nd against the rush. Without a successful ground game to crutch on, Allen is going to be a sitting duck here. The Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS the last four games played at home, 12-3-2 L17 games played in the month of December, and 5-2 L7 games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you.

Under in the Lions/Broncos matchup.

LVSM play.

Game 121/122.

1:05 pm pst.

These two teams have combined to play six overs and 18 unders in the 2021 season. When you match up two offenses that combine for a dismal 36.7 PPG, expect a low-scoring affair. The Broncos defense is top-10 in every major category while the Lions “D” has vastly improved over the last month (18.0 PPG allowed last four games). The under is 5-0 in Detroit’s last five games played on the road and 5-1 in Denver’s last six games played at home. Take the under. Thank you.

UNM.

BB.

Game 746.

12:00 pm pst.

UNM is on a three-game ATS hot streak. The Lobos are scoring a whopping 82.5 PPG, hitting an impressive 37% beyond the arc. With a talented staring-five consisting of reliable scorers and a deep bench, New Mexico has the players to frustrate a UTEP team on a two-game loss and no-cover slide. The Miners just don’t have the horses to run here let alone compete. They are averaging a paltry 68.1 PPG and certainly don’t have the personnel to contend and defend the outside. They are 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a SU winning record, 2-6 ATS the last eight games played as a road ‘dog, and 3-7 ATS the last 10 games played overall on the road. The Lobos are 5-0-1 ATS the last six games played following an ATS win, 5-2-1 ATS the last eight games played as a favorite, and 8-2-1 ATS the last 11 games played overall. Take New Mexico. Thank you.

New Orleans.

CONSENSUS play.

Game 107.

10:00 am pst.

Riding a five-game SU slide, if the Saints are going to salvage their season and save head coach, Sean Payton’s job, they must win here. No matter who is under center, New Orleans is expected to see the return of running back, Alvin Kamara and a few other key players. Let’s be honest, facing the 32nd ranked scoring defense of New York would remedy any offenses ailments. New Orleans is 6-2 ATS the last eight games played following an ATS loss and 17-8 ATS the last 25 games played as a road favorite. Take the Saints. Thank you.

Under in the Jaguars/Titans.

AFC SOUTH TOTAL of the Month.

Games 111/112.

10:00 am pst.

Ever since running back, Derrick Henry went down, so did the Tennessee offense. They went from scoring 34, to 28, to 23, to just 13 points each of the last two outings. Granted, Jacksonville accounts for a mere 15.0 PPG. With both the Titans and the Jaguars struggling to cross the goal line. I doubt this will be a high-scoring contest. As a matter of fact, the scorekeeper can probably take a nap here. The under is 5-2 in the Titans last seven games played at home and 10-1 in the Jaguars last 11 games played overall. Take the under. Thank you.

Dallas.

NFC EAST BB.

Game 117.

10:00 am pst.

The general public moved on the WFT team early this week because they have won and covered four in a row. But they will not be able to keep pace on the scoreboard with Dallas’ high-flying “O”. The Cowboys got back a few key cogs in the wheel on both sides of the line of scrimmage last week when they beat New Orleans on the road, 27-17. Dak Prescott and the 4th ranked aerial assault will shred the WFT’s 30th ranked pass defense. Throw in the mix the stellar 6th ranked rushing attack controlling the clock and the tempo and the Cowboys are going to hand the WFT and general public a big loss here. Dallas is 7-0 ATS the last seven games played vs. the NFC, 5-1 ATS the last six games played on the road, and 12-4 ATS the last 16 games played overall. Take the Cowboys. Thank you.

Golden State on the MONEY LINE.

BB play.

Game 561.

Golden State comes in here fresh, having had a few days off while Philly was handed a tough 22-point loss by Utah on Thursday. That marked the 76ers third consecutive no-cover. These two teams played nearly three weeks ago when the warriors outrebounded the 76ers en route to a 116-96 win and cover. Golden State once again will own the glass and frustrate the Philadelphia offense with the NBA’s No.1 defense. They are 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series, 4-1 ATS the lats five games played on the road, and 4-0 ATS the last four games played on two days rest. Take the warriors. Thank you.

Utah.

WG play.

Game 553.

4:10 pm pst.

Utah is playing great basketball at both ends of the court rolling to six straight wins, covering four of those six, including the last two. Washington is a mess riding a 5-8 SU run only covering three of those 13 contests. The Wizards took the last two meetings last season so look for some revenge here as this season, these are two very different teams. The Jazz are 4-1 ATS the last five games played at the Wizards. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS the last five games played on two days rest. Take Utah. Thank you.

Kentucky.

HR play.

Game 677.

2:15 pm pst.

Following a season-opening loss, Kentucky has rattled off seven consecutive victories. Granted, they haven’t gone up against better than mid-major opponents but the Wildcats have fine-tuned their play. Oscar Tshiebwe (15.3 PPG, 15.4 RPG) is a monster. He is joined by four other double-digit scorers. That would be enough here. However, this team owns the No.2 rebounding corps in the nation both offensively and defensively. Notre Dame is getting shellacked on the boards and enter this matchup 0-6 ATS on the campaign. The Fighting Irish are 0-5 ATS the last five games played at home, 1-5 ATS the last six games played as an underdog, and 2-12 ATS the last 14 games played overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Army.

Game 104.

12:00 pm pst.

QUESTION: What do you get when you match up two of the best rushing attacks in the nation that neither throws the ball? ANSWER: 15 straight unders WOW! But the lowest total (34.5) that there has been in at least a decade, oddsmakers have made a pre-empted strike here guys. I don’t know about the total folks. But I do know that Army has faced and beaten better teams this season. And they score 15 PPG more and allow about 7 PPG less than Navy. The Black Knights are 5-1-1 ATS the last seven meetings in this series, 12-3-1 ATS the last 16 games played in the month of December, and 8-3 ATS the last 11 games played vs. nonconference foes. The Midshipmen are 1-6-1 ATS the last eight games played vs. INDEP and 0-6 ATS the last six games played vs. nonconference opponents.

Cavaliers.

BB play.

Game 541.

5:10 pm pst.

Cleveland is treating us bettors well, covering nine in a row. Meanwhile Minnesota is on a four-game SU slide and is just 1-4 ATS the last five. The T-Wolves defense is getting steamrolled nightly. The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS the last seven games played at the Timberwolves, 4-0 ATS the last four games played on the road, 13-3 ATS the last 16 games played on one days rest, and 16-5 ATS the last 21 games played as an underdog. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

Nets.

WG play.

Game 537.

4:40 pm pst.

The once-reliable at home Hawks have now failed to cover four straight playing host, losing their last three SU. The team is short-handed and comes in here a bit rusty having not played since Monday. Atlanta is 0-6 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600 and 2-7 ATS the last nine games played vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take Brooklyn. Thank you.

Monmouth.

HR.

Game 857.

5:30 pm pst.

Monmouth is a perfect 8-0 ATS in 2021. They have faced some pretty good teams like notables, Charlotte, Towson, St. Joe’s, Princeton, and Cincinnati. The Hawks are riding a seven-game SU hot-streak. They possess four double-digit scorers and a slew of talented rebounders. SJU is on a five-game ATS slide. Champagnie is an amazing player. But he can’t carry the entire load himself. Especially in this matchup as Monmouth is chock-full of ballers. The Red Storm are 0-5 ATS the last five games played at home. The Hawks are 6-0 ATS the last six games played on the road. Take Monmouth. Thank you.

Steelers.

TNW.

Game 101.

5:20 pm pst.

Minnesota is struggling. With back-to-back losses to San Francisco and Detroit, things have gone from bad to worse for the team. To add insult to injury (no pun intended), OT, Darrisaw and WR, Thielen will be sidelined here. Their only true offensive weapon, RB, Cook (check status) is questionable. Defensively, the Vikings have gotten plowed, allowing a total of 94 points the last three contests. Pittsburgh’s numbers aren’t too much more impressive. But QB, Roethlisberger (check statis) is most-likely playing and with the team coming off a win against rival Baltimore, the come in here with some momentum. The Steelers are 35-16-3 ATS the last 54 games played as a ‘dog and 13-5 ATS the last 18 games played as a road underdog. The Vikings are 2-7 ATS the last nine games played at home and 1-9 ATS the last 10 games played as a fav. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.  

Minnesota.

BIG TEN GOW.

Game 704.

6:00 pm pst.

Of these two conference rivals, Minny is the only undefeated team. Offensively, with three double-digit scorers, the Golden Gophers can and will frustrate the Spartans. They will do the same defensively as they match up well here on the stop-end. In their two losses this season, MSY had problems with well-balanced squads. Minnesota is a well-balanced squad. The Golden Gophers won last year’s matchup, 81-56. The home team is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings. MSU is 5-13 ATS the last 18 games played as a road fav and 3-9 ATS the last 12 games played on the road. Minny is 4-0 ATS the last four games played as a ‘dog and 11-5 ATS the last 16 games played at home. Take the Golden Gophers. Thank you.

Milwaukee.

BEST BET play.

Game 511.

4:40 pm pst.

Milwaukee is red-hot winning 10 of their last 11 SU. Miami is banged-up and because of this, the team is struggling, going 1-4 both SU and ATS their last five. Overall, they are on a 2-7 run both SU and ATS. Whether Jimmy Butler plays or not, he won’t be 100%. With Giannis back on the floor and at full strength, look for Milwaukee to make a statement here to an Eastern Conference opponent. The Bucks are 5-2 ATS the last seven games played in this series, 6-1 ATS the lats seven as a road favorite, and 5-1 ATS the last six games played on one days rest. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Tennessee,

HIGH ROLLER PLAY.

Game 614.

4:00 pm pst.

With all respect to the 6-1 Red Raiders, they haven’t played anyone. The Volunteers, also 6-1, on the other hand, have already faced some very good opposition. Tennessee, following their sole loss of the campaign to Villanova, has now rattled off four consecutive victories SU, going 3-1 ATS, over such notables as North Carolina and Colorado. Texas Tech’s opponents: North Florida, Grambling State, Prairie View A&M, Incarnate Word, Lamar, and Providence. The Friars were the only decent foe and the Red Raiders fell, 72-68. They are 1-5 ATS the last six neutral site games played, 1-4 ATS the last five games played as an underdog, 5-16 ATS the last 21 games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 10-25-1 ATS the last 36 games played following a SU loss. Take the Volunteers. Thank you.

Patriots.

MNF Winner.

Game 475.

5:15 pm pst.

Guys the Bills are a very good team. But they are not a great team. At least not yet. Not crazy about the coaching staff and not crazy about the quarterback. The staff has made some poor late-game decisions and Allen, he has the physical talent, but guys, he’s a lunkhead. He takes too many unnecessary chances. Bill Belichick and his coaching staff knows this and will throw a lot of different schemes at him, shake him up, and force turnovers. The Patriots “D” rank No.1 in the NFL, allowing just 15.8 PPG and as importantly, have snagged 25 takeaways. Mac Jones is not, I repeat, is not a lunkhead. Apparently, you get a much better education in Alabama than you can in Wyoming. Guys every game he matures more and more and he has the confidence of six straight wins and for us we have the confidence of six straight covers. Not only that but New England also has the luxury of an ever-improving running game to keep the Buffalo defense honest. The Patriots are 4-0 ATS the last four games played vs. the AFC while the Bills are 1-3-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the AFC. I like New England outright here. But I will take the points anyway. Thank you.

Bulls.

BEST BET.

Game 550.

5:10 pm pst.

Chicago certainly outclasses Denver offensively. And now with the Nuggets putting up some of the league’s poorest defensive stats the last few weeks, it’s even more of a reason to side with the home team here. These two teams met just 17 days ago in Denver with the Bulls prevailing, 114-108. Denver is 2-5 ATS the last seven games played as an underdog, 2-6 ATS the last eight games played on the road, and 4-9 ATS the last 13 games played on one days rest. Take Chicago. Thank you.

49ers.

LVSM play.

Game 473.

1:25 pm pst.

Very simply, San Francisco is starting to heat up while Seattle is as cold as ice. One team has won and covered three straight while the other has not. Jimmy Garoppolo has the 49ers offense purring like a 57’ Chevy. They have accounted for over 95 points during their three-game hot streak. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson and the dismal Seahawks (lack of) offense has tallied a total of 28 points over their three-game skid. Look for the NFL’s 6th ranked rushing attack to exploit the 23rd ranked run defense and allow Jimmy G to open up the passing game. San Francisco is 6-2 ATS the last eight games played as a road favorite. Seattle is 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. the NFC West. Take the 49ers. Thank you.

Under in the Vikings/Lions matchup.

NFC NORTH TOM.

Games 451/452.

10:00 am pst.

The Lions are trying everything they can to earn their first victory, playing extremely competitive in four of their last five outings. Their lack of offense along with their scrappy defense has resulted in playing to eight unders over their last nine games. The Vikings lost their only true offensive weapon in running back, Dalvin Cook. The under is 11-5 the last 16 meetings in this series. Take the under. Thank you.

Eagles.

HR play.

Game 461.

10:00 am pst.

Philly, my friends, believe it or not is just a half-game out of the final Wildcard spot in the NFC. The Jets, guys, the only thing the team is showing up for is to give QB, Zach Wilson some playing time following is month long hiatus. LOL. Sports fans, you don’t have to love the Eagles here as much as you have to hate the Jets. New York hasn’t won back-to-back games since a few opponents pulled their starters late last December. Wilson is in for a very long day trying to shake off the rust against the ever-improving Philadelphia pass rush. But the biggest mismatch is between the Eagles No.1 ranked rushing offense and the Jets 27th ranked run defense. Jalen Hurts, who it looks like should play here (check status), will put up his best numbers of the campaign both in the air and on the ground as he lines up against the NFL’s worst scoring defense. Going back a ways, Philly is 5-0 both SU and ATS in this series. Take the Eagles here. Thank you.

Michigan.

Game 322.

5:00 pm pst.

Guys, with all respect to Iowa, they more or less got to the conference championship sneaking through the back door.  Yes, they are 10-2, I am not looking to take away anything from that. However, Michigan, not only did they get here coming through the front door, they kicked the damn door in. They demoralized Ohio State last week. As a matter of fact, since their sole loss of the season to MSU, they’ve rattled off four straight wins and covers. As good as the Hawkeyes defense is, the Wolverines “D” is even better. This is going to play a huge part here folks as Iowa’s offense is stagnant. They own some of the ugliest numbers in college football. On the other hand, Michigan is 20th in total yards, 13th in scoring, owns a solid passing attack, and the nation’s 10th ranked running game. The Hawkeye’s two losses (Purdue and Wisconsin) were against two teams that played very aggressive defensively, each holding Iowa to just seven points. The Wolverines will do the same with their stellar stop-unit and offensively with the tandem of combined 2100-yard rushers, Haskins and Corum, will control the clock, the tempo, and wear down the overworked Hawkeyes “D” here. Take Michigan. Thank you.

USC.

HR play.

Game 679.

3:00 pm pst.

At 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS, USC is crushing opponents. They’ve already thumped Temple, San Diego State, and Utah. The Trojans have owned the Cougars winning 10 consecutive meetings SU and going 8-2 ATS. The four most-recent matchups were won by an average of 11.7 PPG. USC will dominate WSU on the boards and frustrate them with their stifling “D”. Take the Trojans. Thank you.

Santa Clara.

FB play.

Game 674.

2:00 pm pst.

Santa Clara owns a 6-2 SU record, going 5-2-1 ATS, earning wins over the likes of Stanford, Nevada, and TCU. L Tech stepped-up twice thus far this season, losing and failing to cover both against Alabama and NC State. Their offensive numbers are a bit skewed due to the low level of the rest of their foes. And yet they still yield a whopping 72.9 PPG. The Broncos are 5-1-1 ATS the last seven games played at home. Take Santa Clara. Thank you.

Alabama.

Game 318.

1:00 pm pst.

We all know how good Georgia is. But the Bulldog’s can have a poor showing here or even lose and still own a spot in the CFP. Alabama has a sharper head coach, a better QB, and defensively matches up well against the rush, which is Georgia’s bread and butter. And most of all, thy need the win. The Bulldog’s really haven’t had to face too many well-balanced, aggressive stop-units. ‘Bama has taken six in a row SU in this series. The underdog is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings in this rivalry. The Crimson Tide is 4-1 ATS the last five games played as an underdog and 11-3 ATS the last 14 games played following an ATS loss. Take Alabama. Thank you.

Knicks.

OM play.

Game 520.

10:10 am pst.

Following back-to-back losses that they should have won, New York bounces back here against a depleted Denver team riddled with injuries and illnesses. They are ripe for the picking right now as the Knicks catch them in the middle of a 1-7 slide both SU and ATS. The Nuggets are 1-6 ATS the last seven games played on the road. Take New York. Thank you.

Oklahoma State.

Game 308.

9:00 am pst.

Oklahoma State is 5th in the polls. The top-four teams all have tough games this weekend. Two of them (Georgia and Alabama) face one another. Someone has to lose. With a good showing here, the Cowboys can very well move up in the rankings and have a shot at the CFP. Okie State has won and covered the last two meetings in this series including October’s matchup, 24-14. The Cowboys are just a half-point away from covering 10 straight contests. The Bears have trouble with aggressive defenses and are primarily a one-dimensional offense, relying on the run. The Cowboys counter with the nation’s 5th ranked run defense. Overall, Oklahoma State’s “D” leads the country in sacks (49) and tackles for loss (99). They will spend more time in the Baylor backfield than the Baylor players. The Bears are 2-10 ATS the last 12 games played at the Cowboys and 2-5-1 ATS the last eight games played on fieldturf. The Cowboys are 6-1 ATS the last seven games played in the month of December and 20-6-1 ATS the last 37 games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take Oklahoma State. Thank you.

Clemson.

VIM.

Game 611.

9:00 am pst.

With better rebounders and a superior defense, we must side with a Clemson squad which has taken three of the last four meetings in this series SU. Look for the Tigers 11th ranked 3-point shooting offense to score at will here against a ‘Canes 3-point “D” that is allowing 40% from beyond the arc. The ‘dog is 18-7-1 ATS the last 26 meetings in this series. Clemson is 5-2 ATS the last seven games played overall. Miami is 1-8-1 ATS the last 10 games played as a fav. Take the Tigers. Thank you.
