Take Milwaukee

This is my NBA GOW.

Game 515.

3:05 pm pst.

Giving Milwaukee any points here is a mistake, as the Bucks are red-hot. Not to mention they are money on the road, going 4-1-1 ATS their L6 as a guest, but also a perfect, 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. the NW. A top-10 squad on both sides of the court, and possessing the best player on the floor in Giannis Antetokounmpo, shows us that the Bucks are the play here. Milwaukee is 7-2 ATS their L9 on 1 days rest and 10-4-1 ATS their L15 overall. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Take FSU.

This is my OM play.

Game 837.

3:00 pm pst.

In the January 9th meeting, FSU bested Miami-Fl, 68-62, despite a 42.2% shooting effort from the floor, and a 6-of-26 stat from beyond the arc. The Seminoles held the 'Canes to a mere, 4-of-18 from downtown, and a 37% overall act. FSU has more talent and twice the depth here. The Hurricanes are 7-19 ATS the L26 at home, 2-6 ATS the L8 vs. the ACC, and 9-23 ATS the L22 overall. Take the Seminoles. Thank you.

Take Louisville.

This is my REVENGE GOM.

Game 626.

11:00 am pst.

We all know how good Virginia, Duke, and North Carolina are, but Louisville is a true ACC powerhouse, at 5-1 in Conference play. The Cardinals will get revenge for a January 9th, 89-86 OT loss to the Panthers. UL took the previous 9 meetings over Pitt, going 7-2 ATS. Since the loss 17 days ago, Louisville has rattled off 4 consecutive wins, missing a perfect ATS run by just a 1/2-point. The Panthers are no match for the Cardinals offensively, and when it gets physical, Pitt has been absolutely horrible from the FT line. Take Louisville. Thank you.

Take Duquesne.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 636.

11:00 am pst.

I must take 3.5 points here with a Duquesne team that is riding a 5-game SU streak, especially after knocking off previously unbeaten (in A-10 play) Saint Louis. Depth and better scorers are on the Dukes. The Home Team is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series. Take Duquesne. Thank you.

Take Miami.

This is my SLAM DUNK PLAY.

Game 567.

4:35 pm pst.

At 9-40, Cleveland owns the worst record in the NBA.

The Cavaliers are on a 1-17 SU run. Not only are they losing, they are  losing badly, with 14 of those 17 losses coming by DD's. As a matter of fact, the month of January has treated this team horribly, as they are yielding 122.0 PPG and allowing opponents to shoot 51.7% from the floor. Miami is a good team. They possess a very stingy defense, outstanding rebounders, and when you have Dwyane Wade and Dion Waiters coming off the bench, things could definitely be a lot worse. The Heat are 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series, 11-4 ATS the L15 on the road, and 5-2 ATS the L7 vs. the NBA Central. The Cavaliers are 2-6 ATS the L8 vs. the Eastern Conference, 1-7 ATS the L8 at home, and 0-4-1 ATS the L5 overall. Take Miami. Thank you.

Take Michigan.

This is my BIG TEN GOW.

Game 851.

3:30 pm pst.

6th ranked, Michigan followed up their first loss of the campaign with their worst shooting performance in over 2 1/2 years, in Tuesday's, 2-point victory over  Minnesota. Wolverines HC, John Beilin will have his boys primed and ready for a big bounce back here. And what better opponent to face than struggling rival, Indiana. The Hoosiers are on a 5-game SU skid and are about to be put outside the Big Dance bubble. Michigan has taken the L5 meetings in this series, both SU and ATS, by an average margin of 14.0 PPG. Guard, Romeo Langford is starting to feel the pressure of being IU's "go-to" guy, and he is starting to crack. Indiana's shooting percentage is way down from the floor, beyond the arc, and from the FT line and now must face one of the best defenses in the nation. The Wolverines are 25-9-1 ATS the L35 vs. the Big Ten and 21-8-1 ATS the L30 on the road. The Hoosiers are 1-5 ATS the L6 vs. the Big Ten and 2-8 ATS the L10 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Michigan. Thank you.

Take UCSB.

This is my TEN DIMES.

Game 659.

7:00 pm pst.

Cal Santa Barbara owns an overall, 14-3 SU record (10-5 ATS) and is a perfect, 3-0 in Conference play. The Gauchos have dominated the Titans, winning and covering 7 of the L9 meetings, including both a season ago. UC-Fullerton is just 6-12 SU, 5-11 ATS, and sports a 2-2 League mark. This team does not have the talent or the depth to compete with a UCSB squad full of athletes, with a deep bench, and a stifling "D" (63.4 PPG allowed). The Gauchos are 15-5 ATS the L20 on the road and 9-4 ATS the L13 overall. The Titans are 1-5 ATS at home and 3-9 ATS the L14 overall. Take UCSB. Thank you.

Take Washington.

This is my PAC 12 GOW.

Game 653.

6:00 pm pst.

Washington, which is a perfect, 5-0 in Conference play both SU and ATS this season, has had this matchup circled since LY when they took 2 beatings to Oregon. The Ducks are not the same team as a season ago, or even from this past December, when they lost leading scorer and rebounder, Bol Bol (21.0 PPG/9.6 RPG). The Huskies had no one to match up with the standout Center. Washington is 5-2 ATS the L7 on the road and 5-0 ATS the L5 overall. Take the Huskies. Thank you.

Take George Mason.

This is my CONSENSUS play.

Game 797.

4:00 pm pst.

These two A-10 teams are very evenly matched. So, giving GMU 7 points is a gift. The Patriots have won 7 of their L9, both SU and ATS, covering 4 of their L5 as a 'dog. While Dayton is a good team, they tend to be overvalued covering just twice over their L9 outings. This game is going to get physical and George Mason is clearly the better shooting team from the FT line. The Patriots are 5-0 ATS their L5 on the road, 12-5 ATS their L17 vs. the A-10, and 7-2 ATS their L9 overall. The Flyers are 1-4 ATS their L5 at home, 7-18-1 ATS their L26 vs. the A-10, and 2-7 ATS their L9 overall. Take GMU. Thank you.

Take Fresno State.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 644.

8:00 pm pst.

San Diego State has lost by some pretty big margins this season, including a 21-point beat down at home vs. Brown. Now, the Aztecs go into Save Mart Center to face a very good, (13-4 overall) FSU team that knows them all too well. Several of the Bulldogs coaches are ex-Aztecs players/coaches. Fresno State has 4 DD starters and a much better defense. The Aztecs are 2-8 ATS the L10 meetings in this series and 1-4 ATS the L5 on the road. The Bulldogs are 31-11 ATS the L42 following an ATS win and 7-3 ATS the L10 overall. Take Fresno State. Thank you.

Take Buffalo.

This is my LVSM.

Game 625.

5:00 pm pst.

The 14th ranked Buffalo Bulls own a 17-1 SU record and are devouring Conference opponents, with a 5-0 mark in MAC play. Northern Illinois has stepped up in class against Butler and Michigan State, losing both by 27 and 28 points and come off back-to-back losses to League rivals, Central Michigan and Kent State. The Huskies are certainly stepping up in class here. Buffalo is 7-1 ATS the L8 at the Huskies, 7-2 ATS the L9 vs. MAC foes, and 11-4-1 ATS the L16 overall. Take the Bulls. Thank you.

Take South Florida.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 628.

5:00 pm pst.

I must side with a Bulls team that has dropped the L3 coming into this matchup. South Florida faced 3 very good teams in those losses in Temple, Cincinnati, and Houston, playing all 3 very tough (2-1 ATS). They also get a little payback here from LY's, 95-57 thumping at the hands of Wichita State. The Shockers are 0-4 SU as a visitor (1-3 ATS) this season and are outclassed on both ends of the court here. Wichita State is 2-5 ATS the L7 on the road, 2-9 ATS the L11 vs. the AAC, and 3-7 ATS the L10 overall. South Florida is 5-2 ATS the L7 at home, 8-1 ATS the L9 vs. the AAC, and 5-1 ATS the L6 overall. Take the Bulls. Thank you.

Take New England.

This is my AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WINNER.

Game 313.

3:40 pm pst.

I am not looking to take away anything from the Chiefs. But, to be honest, I watched last week's matchup with the Colts. From the opening kickoff, Kansas City seemed to dominate. But, Andrew Luck was off, making some poor passes, he fumbled the ball away, receivers dropped some easy catches, and career money kicker, Adam Vinatieri missed both a FG and a PAT. I think the Colts more lost the game, than did the Chiefs win it. This game is going to be cold. Early reports were forecasted to be in single-digits, which compelled bettors to play the Under. As of print, the updated forecast is approximately, 20 degrees. The Patriots are in a rare, underdog role for the first time since 2014 with Tom Brady at the helm, which will motivate them. These two teams played a mid-November, barn-burner, with the Pats prevailing, 43-40. We all know how good the Chiefs offense is, ranking #1 in points scored. And, Pat Mahomes has a banner year (66.0% CR, 5097 YP, 50/12), but guys, he is a first-year starter playing against a dynasty with the best HC/QB combo ever. The New England defense has tightened up. Now, they will allow yards but, they are going to throw different schemes at Mahomes and force the young QB to make some mistakes. The Kansas City "D" is a doormat, ranking 31st vs. the pass and 27th vs. the rush. Agreed, Josh Gordon is gone and Rob Gronkowski isn't what he once was. However, rookie RB, Sony Michel (931 YR, 6 TD's), who ran for 129 yards and 3 TD's last week, will exploit a rush defense ranking last, yielding 4.96 YPC in the regular season. There is a lot of talk about New England's lack of success on the road. NONSENSE! The weather will hinder the KC passing game. Mahomes' youth will be a factor. And the Brady/Belichick vast post-season experience will play a major role. The Chiefs are 2-9 ATS the last 11 playoff games and 2-5-1 ATS the last eight overall games. The Patriots are 8-3 ATS the last 11 playoff games and 38-17 ATS the last 55 overall games. TAKE NEW ENGLAND. Thank you.

Take New Orleans.

This is my NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WINNER.

Game 342.

12:05 pm pst.

These two teams met on November 4th at the Superdome, which turned out to be one of the best games of the season, as New Orleans got the win and cover, 45-35. Los Angeles will be playing their first road playoff game under their new regime. The Rams and their top-five offense did score less, while their defense allowed more, on the road this season. This is also the first time the team is an underdog all year, which may affect their confidence as a young team. Jared Goff's numbers fall drastically away from home as the QB has a 22/3 TD/INT ratio at L.A. Memorial Coliseum, but as a visitor, has a 10/9 ratio, not to mention he owns a 1/5 ratio vs. playoff teams and as you know, will be without his "safety blanket", WR, Kupp here. Playing at home, in front of a friendly crowd, in one of the loudest venues in sports, definitely benefits the Saints, which in the Sean Payton/Drew Brees era, are 6-0 in the Superdome, in the playoffs. Last week, the Rams "D" only had to contain one offensive threat against the Cowboys, in RB Ezekiel Elliott. The Saints possess a slew of talented receivers, along with the tandem of RB's, Kamara and Ingram. Alvin Kamara is going to be the key here, not just as a ball-carrier, but also coming out of the backfield as a receiver. This is just too many playmakers for the Rams defense to cover. As far as QB's go, Drew Brees is one of the best ever and has not just been on this platform, but has won here as well. New Orleans also accounts for some truly, time-consuming drives, keeping defenses tired, and offenses off the field. Also note, CB, Talib gambles a bit, and being that he is not 100%, Brees will exploit him. Defensively, the Saints leave a lot to be desired in the air, but own the 2nd ranked stop-unit vs. the rush. The Rams offense passes off the run. The tandem of Gurley and Anderson will need to establish the ground game, and will get their yards, especially with DT, Rankins sidelined here, but wonder boy HC, Payton will make adjustments. The Home Team is 7-0 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. Los Angeles is 2-5 ATS the last seven playoff games. New Orleans is 5-2 ATS the last seven January games. TAKE THE SAINTS. Thank you.

Take Long Beach State.

This is my CRUSHER Play.

Game 768.

7:00 pm pst.

Fullerton is 0-8 SU on the road (3-8 ATS), while Long Beach State is 6-1 SU at home (4-1 ATS). The Titans just don't have the horses to run with the 49ers. CSF is 3-13 ATS the L16 at LB State, 1-6 ATS the L7 on the road, and 2-9 ATS the L11 overall. Long Beach State is 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the Big West, 4-1 ATS the L5 at home, and 4-0 ATS the L4 overall. Take the 49ers. Thank you.

Take Minnesota.

This is my BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 754.

5:30 pm pst.

Penn State is horrible, donning a 7-11 SU (5-12-1 ATS) overall mark, including 0-5 SU and 2-6-1 ATS road records. The Nittany Lions are winless at 0-7 in Conference play this season. Going back to last season, this tea, is 2-9 their l11 road Conference games. Minnesota is a good team, sporting a 13-4 overall SU mark, including a 9-1 SU record at Williams Arena. The Golden Gophers starting-5 all average DD's. Too much offense for PSU to compete with. the Home Team is 6-2 ATS the L8 meetings in this series. The Nittany Lions are 1-5 ATS the L6 at the Golden Gophers. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Take South Florida.

This is my CONSENSUS WINNER.

game 742.

5:00 pm pst.

South Florida can play defense, rebound and steal. Houston has just 2 DD scorers in Guards, Davis Jr. and Brooks. The very talented defense of the Bulls will frustrate the Cougars only 2 offensive threats and keep this contest very close. USF is 8-0 ATS the L8 vs. the AAC, 5-1 ATS the L6 at home, and 5-0 ATS the L5 overall. Take the Bulls. Thank you.

Take Dayton.

This is my LVSM.

Game 687.

1:30 pm pst.

After riding a 6-game SU win streak Dayton went cold late in Wednesday's game to lose to VCU, 76-71. Expect a bounce back here with a Flyers team that has a bit more offense and a the better rebounders. The Road Team is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. The Flyers are 4-0 ATS the L4 at the Bonnies. Take Dayton. Thank you.

Take Mississippi.

This is my Early SEC MM.

Game 616.

10:00 am pst.

After their first ATS loss, Ole' Miss rattled off 10 straight ATS covers. Well,  they just took a 14-point defeat at the hands of LSU and face an Arkansas team that is on a 1-8 ATS run. Take the Rebels. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

This is my Slam Dunk.

Game 595.

7:35 pm pst.

DeMarcus Cousins is scheduled to make his return tonight to bolster the West's best team. The Warriors have won 6 in a row and 8 of their L9 SU (6-3 ATS). Los Angeles has played Golden State tough, covering 4 straight in the series but are on a slide entering this game, riding a 4-game SU and ATS drought. Even though the Clippers have covered the L4 overall vs. the Warriors, Golden State is 4-1 ATS the L5 at the Staples Center over L.A. The Clippers are 0-4 ATS their L4 on 1 days rest and 1-4 ATS their L5 vs. the West. Take the Warriors Thank you.

Take Pepperdine.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 662.

8:00 pm pst.

How about these numbers: BYU is 2-7 SU away from home, going 1-8 ATS. Pepperdine is 6-2 SU at home, going 5-1 ATS. The Cougars entire scheme revolves around Forward, Yoeli Childs (6'8", 225). But the waves practice every day against 6'10", 235 lb, Forward and Oregon transfer, MJ Cage (sitting out the season). So, they are not intimidated and will counter with 4 big men that can all score and rebound. BYU is 0-7 ATS the L7 at Pepperdine, 2-9 ATS the L11 overall vs. Pepperdine, 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the WCC, 1-10 ATS the L11 on the road, and 1-6 ATS the L7 overall. Pepperdine is 9-1 ATS the L10 vs. the WCC, 6-1 ATS the L7 at home, and 5-1 ATS the L6 overall. Take the Waves. Thank you.

Take UCSB.

This is my NCAAB GOM.

Game 657.

7:00 pm pst.

If this game was played on a neutral court, UCSB would be at least a 7-point favorite. So laying just 1.5 points with a Gauchos team that owns a 13-3 overall record, has won 5 straight, and owns a 2-0 Conference mark, is a solid play here. This is a talent-rich team that has 8 players that average 5.0 or more PPG, with one of the best starting-5's in the state. They are excellent on the glass  and possess a defense that can frustrate any team in the nation. This is a very good squad. UC-Davis is no match at either end of the court or on the boards here. The Aggies sports a 4-12 overall record, 4-10 ATS, 0-2 in League play, and is outscored by 12.4 PPG at home. UCSB is 7-2 ATS the L9 at UC-Davis and 14-5 ATS the L19 on the road. UC-Davis is 6-13-1 ATS the L20 vs. UCSB and 1-6 ATS the L7 at home. Take the Gauchos. Thank you.

Take Drake.

This is my OM play.

Game 807.

5:00 pm pst.

To give a 12-5 Drake team that has covered the L3 meetings in this series, 4 points is a mistake. This game should be a pick 'em. Bradley is a hot-mess, sporting an 8-9 overall record, and a 1-7 ATS mark at home. Granted, Guard, Nick Norton is out but the Bulldogs have a deep bench full of talent. The Braves are 0-7 ATS the L7 vs. the MVC, 0-6 ATS the L6 on the road, and 0-5 ATS the L5 overall. Take Drake. Thank you.

Take Oklahoma.

This is my CONSENSUS.

Game 796.

4:00 pm pst.

Dean Wade is back in the lineup for K State. However, the Forward is far from 100% as he played 22:00 on Saturday and registered just 2 points. Lon Kruger has his team striding, with a 13-3 overall mark, including 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS records at home. The Wildcats have covered just 3 of their L10 outings. Take the Sooners. Thank you.

Take Davidson.

This is my A-10 GOM.

Game 641.

Davidson has had their way with St. Joe's, winning and covering the L3 meetings and enter this matchup riding a 3-game hot streak. St. Joseph's is as cold as ice, dropping 4 in a row SU and crushing bettors, with a 2-7 ATS run. This is a team that is winless in A-10 play at 0-4. While Davidson is a perfect, 3-0 vs. Conference foes. Now that top-scorer, Kellan Grady is back on the floor and at full strength for the Wildcats, there is no way the Hawks can compete here. St. Joe's is 0-5 ATS the L5 at home. Davidson is 20-8-1 ATS the L29 vs. the A-10.  Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take Bowling Green.

This is my CONSENSUS WINNER.

Game 628.

4:00 pm pst.

Bowling Green has won 7 in a row SU, going 6-0 ATS on lined games during that span. Ball State has dropped their L2 outings, both SU and ATS. The Falcons have dominated the Cardinals, winning and covering 8 of the L10 meetings in the series. The Underdog is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings. Ball State is 1-7 ATS the L8 vs. the MAC. Bowling Green is 6-0 ATS the L6 at home. Take the Falcons. Thank you.

Take Portland.

This is my VI play.

Game 509.

7:05 pm pst.

Portland needed OT to get the win and cover against Sacramento in their only matchup this season. But the Trailblazers have dominated the Kings, winning and covering the L4 in this series, and 8 of the L10 SU (6-4 ATS). Portland is a much better rebounding team at both ends of the court. They are 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. the NBA Pacific. Sacto is 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. the NBA NW. Tale the Trailblazers. Thank you.

Today, we start the week with a HUGE PAYDAY as I have my NBA 33-8 CRUSHER and 39-8 VEGAS INSIDER PLAYS as well as my NCAAB 55-15 CONSENSUS WINNER. Follow me, go 3-0, and start your week off right.

Monday's FREE NCAAB WINNER: Baylor.

Game 875.

6:00 pm pst.

Both teams are dealing with an injury to a major contributor here. Baylor is without #2 scorer, Tristan Clark (knee). Oklahoma State may be without their #2 scorer in Michael Weathers, who left the last game with an ankle issue (check status). I put an edge here on a Bears team that has taken 6 in a row in this series and 8 of the L10 meetings (covering L3 straight). Baylor owns the superior defense and by far the stronger boardsmen. Both squads rely upon their depth in the back court, and the Bears have the faster and more talented corps of Guards. Baylor is 5-1-1 ATS the L7 games played at Oklahoma State, 6-0 ATS the L6 games played following a SU loss, and 4-1 ATS the L5 games played overall. Oklahoma State is 1-6 ATS the L7 games played at home, 1-4 ATS the L5 games played following a SU win, and 2-8 ATS the L10 games played overall. Take the Bears. Thank you.

Take San Antonio.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 506.

5:35 pm pst.

Since Coach Popovich tweaked the lineup, San Antonio is on a 14-5 SU run. Overall, the Spurs are 18-5 SU at home, going 17-6 ATS and have taken 9 of the L10 meetings with the Hornets SU, including both this season, by an average of 13.5 PPG. Charlotte is a mess, dropping 8 of their L11 SU and 12 of their L16 ATS. The Hornets are 1-7 ATS their L8 games played on the road, 7-19 ATS their L26 games played vs. the Western Conference, and 1-6 ATS their L7 games played at the Spurs. The Spurs are 36-17 ATS their L53 games played at home, 5-0 ATS their L5 games played vs. the Eastern Conference, and 16-5-1 ATS their L22 games played overall. Take San Antonio. Thank you.

Take Maryland.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 872.

5:30 pm pst.

Gotta' lay a short number here with a Maryland team that is playing solid basketball as the Terrapins are riding a 5-game SU win streak and possess a monster rebounding squad (29th "O", 3rd "D"). Wisconsin has on only one true threat on the floor, Forward, Ethan Happ. However, Maryland will counter with their tandem of Forward's, Fernando and Smith (27.1 PPG, 17.4 RPG combined). Take the Terrapins. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my HIGH ROLLER.

Game 305.

10:05 am pst.

With all respect to a New England team that just captured their 10th straight AFC East title, let's face it, that's nothing special. In the last month and a half, when they had to win, Los Angeles did, sporting a 6-1 SU record, with victories over such notables as Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Baltimore. The Patriots erratic defense is in for a long day here. The tandem of RB's, Gordon III and Ekeler, and the trio of receivers, Allen, Williams, and Williams is bad enough, but with veteran QB, Philip Rivers (68.3% CR, 4308 YP, 32/12) at the helm, the day just got even longer for the New England "D". On the flipside, to contain Tom Brady, you must hurry the QB. The duo of DE's, Bosa and Ingram will spend so much time in the Patriots backfield, they might as well wear their uniform. The Chargers "D" got to the very mobile, Lamar Jackson a week ago, so the flat-footed, Brady is a sitting duck here. New England does not have the services of WR, Gordon and TE, Gronkowski is just a shadow of his former self. The Bolts have covered all games played outside of L.A. this season and have covered their last five straight as an underdog, winning those five games outright. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Take Dallas.

This is my BOOKIE BUSTER.

Game 303.

5:15 pm pst.

Los Angeles has been the team to beat since Week 1. And for the first half of the season, the Rams seemed unstoppable. Since the second half began, teams have uncovered ways to beat them. They dropped three of their final eight contests, to the Saints, Bears, and Eagles. Two of those teams (Saints & Eagles) the Cowboys faced and beat just in the last five weeks. The LA defense is weak against the run. Well, the NFL's top-rusher, Ezekiel Elliott (1434 YR) lines up against them here. The RB is salivating as he knows the Rams ranked dead-last in the League, getting plowed for 5.1 YPC. Dak Prescott has a playoff win now to get the pressure off his shoulders. The Cowboys "D" is tough (20.2 PPG allowed). And they are money as an underdog, covering six of the last seven in the role. RB, Todd Gurley (slated to play) was left out the last two games and will be rusty. Jared Goff has yet to prove himself in the post-season. Los Angeles is 1-4-1 ATS the last six home games, 1-5 ATS the last six playoff games, and 0-4-1 ATS the last five games vs. teams with a winning record. Take Dallas. Thank you.

Take LSU.

This is my CONSENSUS.

Game 713.

3:00 pm pst.

LSU won and covered both meetings with Arkansas LY, and enter this matchup winning 4 in a row and 6 of their L7 SU. Arkansas has been point spread poison, riding a 1-6 ATS run. The Razorbacks are 0-6 ATS their L6 at home. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

Take Indianapolis.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 301.

1:35 pm pst.

Kansas City finished the campaign at 12-4. However, the Chiefs have been point spread poison, covering just once over their last seven outings entering this game. This is a team that has crushed bettors in the post-season as well, going 1-9 ATS their last 10 playoff appearances and 1-11 SU their last 12. But, let's talk about the present day. QB, Pat Mahomes does lead the top scoring offense in football. Let's be honest, the "O" hasn't been as explosive without Kareem Hunt. WR, Tyreek Hill is the unit's biggest threat. He must face a much-improved, Indianapolis secondary and an overall defense that has tightened up, and finished the season ranked 10th, yielding only 21.5 PPG. The biggest weakness for KC is their defense (31st vs. the pass, 27th vs. the rush). This doesn't bode well as Andrew Luck is having a career year (67.3% CR, 4593 YP, 39/15), behind an OL that has allowed just 16 sacks. The QB, along with standout WR, T.Y. Hilton, and RB, Marlon Mack will shred the Chiefs "can't stop anybody" stop-unit. The Colts are 7-1 ATS the last eight games played at the Chiefs and 11-4 ATS the last 14 overall games vs. the Chiefs. Take Indianapolis. Thank you.

Take LAC.

This is my BB play.

Game 564.

12:35 pm pst.

This is the first time Blake Griffin faces his old team on their court. The Pistons are a mess, dropping 7 of their L8, both SU and ATS. The Clippers, who are a top-10 team in every major offensive category, will look to prove a point to their former #1 draft pick. Look for the trio of big men, Harris, Galinari, and Harrell to team up to dominate the squads old star Forward. Detroit is 3-12-1 ATS their L16 on 1 days rest, 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. the Western Conference, and 1-6 ATS their L7 on the road. Los Angeles is 4-1 ATS their L5 on 1 days rest, 7-3 ATS their L10 vs. vs. the NBA Central, and 8-3 ATS their L11 overall. Take the Clippers. Thank you.

Take Alabama.

This is my SEC GOM.

Game 668.

12:30 pm pst.

Texas A&M is not the same team they were a season ago as their biggest scorers have left. Must lay a few baskets with an Alabama team that has covered the L7 meetings in this series. Take the Crimson Tide.

Take UNC.

This is my EW.

Game 608.

9:00 am pst.

UNC won and covered the L2 meetings with Louisville and enter this contest winning and covering 4 straight, including an 85-60 thumping over Pitt, who just downed Louisville, 89-76in OT, on Wednesday. The Cardinals have covered just once over their L6 outings. The Tar Heels are 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. the ACC and39-19-4 ATS their L62 at home. Take UNC. Thank you.

Take Virginia.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 613.

9:00 am pst.

Virginia is a perfect, 14-0 this season, going 5-1 ATS on the road, possessing the #1 defense in the nation, and have bested Clemson 8 consecutive meetings SU (6-2 ATS). The Tigers are 3-8 ATS their L11 at home and 4-11 ATS their L15 overall. The Cavaliers are 20-8 ATS their L28 on the road and 35-16-1 ATS their L52 overall. Take UVA. Thank you.

Take UCI.

This is my BWC GOM.

Game 660.

7:00 pm pst.

At 4-10, UC-Davis is not a very good team. But things go from bad to worse as the Aggies hit the road, where they are 0-7 SU and 2-7 ATS. UCI is a very good team (12-4 overall). The Anteaters possess one of the best defenses in the Big West (64.4 PPG allowed, ranking 36th nationally). The Home team is 6-2 ATS the L8 meetings in this series. UCD is 3-9 ATS the L12 overall. UCI is 9-4 ATS the L13 vs. the Big West. Take the Anteaters. Thank you.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 542.

6:35 pm pst.

The Home Team won all 4 meetings last season. I like getting points with a San Antonio squad looking to rebound from a Wednesday loss, following a 5-game SU and 7-game ATS Hot Streak. Oklahoma City has lost their L2 outings, both as a heavy fav. The Thunder is 1-4 ATS the L5 meetings in this series and 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the NBA Southwest. The Spurs are 35-17 ATS the L52 at home and 15-5-1 ATS the L21 overall. Take San Antonio. Thank you.

Take Oregon.

Game 646.

6:00 pm pst.

UCLA might have had some success at the offensive end since making Murry Bartow their HC, but now they face the best defensive squad in the PAC 12. Oregon allows just 63.6 PPG, 38.3% shooting overall, and 28.8% beyond the arc. The Bruins are 8-21 ATS the L29 on the road. The Ducks are 12-5 ATS the L17 at home. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Take Delaware.

This is my BLUE CHIP play.

Game 605.

4:00 pm pst.

Delaware won and covered both meetings with NC-Wilmington a season ago and enter this contest riding a 3-game win and cover streak. The Blue Hens are an excellent outside shooting team, hitting 35.4% beyond the arc. This doesn't bode well for a Seahawks squad that ranks 322nd vs. the "3". Delaware is 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. NC-Wilmington, 5-2-1 ATS the L8 on the road, and 7-3 ATS the L10 vs. the CAA. Take the Blue Hens. Thank you.

Take VCU.

This is my A 10 GOW.

Game 810.

4:00 pm pst.

VCU, at 10-4, is a very good team, possessing one of the nation's best defenses (62.7 PPG allowed, 37.6% FG, 26.7% 3-pt). La Salle, at 3-10, are a train wreck, with no offense (268th) and no defense (307th). The Rams have won and covered the L3 meetings over the Explorers by an average of 20.6 PPG. La Salle is 8-22-1 ATS the L31 on the road, 8-20 ATS the L28 vs. the A-10, and 9-21-1 ATS the L31 overall. Take VCU. Thank you.

Take Clemson.

This is my NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WINNER.

Game 151.

5:00 pm pst.

Clearly, the 2 best teams in college football face each other here for the National Title. Both are 14-0 SU. Both are 8-6 ATS. Both own a top-5 offense. And both own a top-5 defense. The difference here is that most teams are afraid of Alabama before they even step on to the field. However, Clemson having faced them the L3 years, have no fear of Saban of his Crimson Tide squad. Speaking of which, 'Bama alum, Dabo Swinney is 8-1 SU and ATS his L9 Bowl/Playoff games. Nick Saban is 3-6 ATS his L8 Bowl/Playoff games. The Alabama defense is tough but has given up 21, 28, and 34 points in consecutive contests, entering this matchup. The Tigers are 13-3 ATS the L16 on neutral sites. The Crimson Tide is 1-5 ATS the L6 in January. Take Clemson. Thank you.

Take Wisconsin.

This is my BIG TEN GOW.

Game 825.

4:30 pm pst.

Pat Chambers is feeling the pressure of starting the conference schedule at 0-3. The Penn State HC is suspended here for pushing one of his players during the 68-55 loss to Michigan on Thursday. Things will go from bad to worse for the Nittany Lions as they have lost 10 consecutive meetings to the Badgers SU, the L3 ATS. Wisconsin's, Ethan Happ is a stud, leading the team in scoring, assists, rebounds, and FG%. The star Forward will take this game over. The Badgers are 7-2 ATS the L9 vs. the Big ten and 9-2 ATS the L11 on the road. The Nittany Lions are 0-6-1 ATS the L7 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600 and 1-6-1 ATS the L8 overall. Take Wisconsin. Thank you.

Take Philadelphia.

This is my BOOKIE BUSTER.

Game 107.

1:40 pm pst.

Making LY's Super Bowl Champions and the Super Bowl MVP, an underdog in January, is a mistake. Philly is on a roll and has a lot to prove which makes them a very dangerous team. Not to take anything away from Chicago, but they have a QB making his post-season debut. The Bears live and die by their defense. It is their offense that is less than stellar. This is a problem because the Eagles "O" is soaring. Philadelphia is 6-2 ATS the L8 road playoff games. Chicago is 2-5 ATS the L7 home playoff games. Take the Eagles. Thank you.

Take Brooklyn.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 561.

12:35 pm pst.

These two teams are going in opposite directions as Brooklyn has won 11 of their L14 outings, while Chicago has been a doormat all season long at 10-29. The Bulls are just 5-15 SU at home this campaign. The Nets have taken the L4 matchups in this series, both SU and ATS, including the only meeting this season. Don't pay any mind in the fact that Caris LeVert is out for Brooklyn and Zack LaVine is back for Chicago. The Bulls are 3-13 ATS the L16 vs. the NBA Atlantic and 2-5 ATS the L7 at home. The Nets are 7-3 ATS the L10 vs. the Eastern Conference and 11-4 ATS the L15 overall. Take Brooklyn. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my HIGH ROLLER.

Game 105.

10:05 am pst.

There's a few things you must do to win in the post-season. You must stop the run and you must win on the road. Well, the Chargers rank 9th vs. the rush (top-10 in every major defensive category) and are 7-0 SU and ATS in games not played in LA this season. The 24-10 loss to Baltimore 2 weeks ago was Los Angeles' worst offensive output this season. Expect Philip Rivers to exact some revenge here behind one of the best offensive units in football. QB, Lamar Jackson will not have the element of surprise here as LA now knows what to watch for. I don't see the young, Jackson keeping pace with the veteran, Rivers in the post-season forum. The Road Team is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series. The Ravens are 1-5 ATS the L6 at home. The Chargers are 21-8-1 ATS the L30 on the road. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Take Duke.

Game 604.

5:00 pm pst.

In their first conference matchup, coming off a 2 week layoff, Duke will make an ACC statement here. The Blue Devils are 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS at home, outscoring visitors by an average of 37.0 PPG. The Tigers have not won in Cameron Indoor Stadium since 1995. Duke and their freshman class of standouts, are just too strong at both ends of the court here. The Blue Devils are 5-1 ATS the L6 at home, 7-3 ATS the L10 vs. the ACC, and 5-1 ATS the L6 overall. Take Duke. Thank you.

Take Indianapolis.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 101.

1:35 pm pst.

These are the two hottest teams in football, but the Colts are just a bit hotter, winning 9 of their L10 SU, including a December 9th, 24-21 win and cover at the Texans. The Indianapolis defense has tightened up quite nicely and match up well here. Houston ranks 28th vs. the pass and must face the 6th ranked passing unit in the NFL. Andrew Luck has decimated the Texans secondary, throwing for 863 YP and 6 TD's in the 2 meetings against them this season. Indy is 5-0-1 ATS the L6 at Houston, 8-3-2 ATS the L13 overall vs. Houston, and 6-0 ATS the L6 vs. winners. Take the Colts. Thank you.  

Take TCU.

This is my BLUE CHIP.

Game 672.

1:00 pm pst.

TCU won and covered both meetings with Baylor LY, and enter this matchup winning and covering 8 consecutive contests, including decisive victories over such notables as SMU and USC. The Horned Frogs offense average 9.7 PPG more than the Bears, own the better back court, and have more depth in the front court. Baylor is 1-5 ATS the L6 on the road and 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the Big 12. TCU is 6-0 ATS the L6 at home and 8-0 ATS the L8 overall. Take the Horned Frogs. Thank you.

Take Texas Tech.

This is my BIG 12 GOM.

Game 646.

11:00 am pst.

Even when Kansas State had Dean Wade on the floor, they lost and failed to cover both against Texas Tech a season ago. Now with the injured star sidelined, their flat offense must face the #2 scoring defense (52.8 PPG allowed) in the nation. The Wildcats are 2-5 ATS the L7 on the road and 1-6 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Red Raiders. Thank you.

Take Ohio State.

This is my ROSE BOWL WINNER.

Game 276.

2:00 pm pst.

Very simply, OSU has more talent, a smarter Head Coach, the better overall coaching staff, and Dwayne Haskins at the helm (70.2% CR, 4580 YP, 47/8). I don't normally judge a team from one or two recent performances, but the way Ohio State followed the narrow, 52-51 win at Maryland, with decisive victories over Michigan (62-39) and Northwestern (45-24), shows me just how strong of a unit they are at this point in the season. Washington was a 'dog twice this season, losing to Auburn and getting help from the weather against Washington State. HC, Urban Meyer is leaving after this Bowl game, so expect a big send off from his squad .The Buckeyes are 5-2 ATS the last seven Bowls, 13-3-1 ATS the last 17 vs. the PAC 12, and 8-2 ATS the last 10 on neutral sites. Take Ohio State. Thank you.

Take Central Florida.

This is my FIESTA BOWL WINNER.

Game 274.

10:00 am pst.

Giving a team that has won 25 straight games and beat another SEC representative in Auburn, in last year's Peach Bowl, 7.5 points, is a gift. Central Florida enters yet another Bowl game eager to prove they deserve more respect and a higher spot in the polls. Backup QB, Darriel Mack Jr. has been perfect in replacing injured starter, McKenzie Milton, accounting for 522 YP, 2/0 in the air and 340 YR and 6 TD's on the ground. The Knights own an offense that ranks 5th in rushing and 29th in passing. LSU has a good defense, but is playing this Bowl contest without two starting DB's (Fulton injured, Williams NFL draft). The Tigers possess an offensively-challenged "0" that have trouble maintaining sufficient ball-control to keep the Knights offense off the field. UCF has 22 seniors playing their final game that want to go out perfect. LSU is 1-6-1 ATS the last eight non-conference games and 2-5 ATS the last seven Bowl games. UCF is 5-2 ATS the last seven non-conference games and 5-1 ATS the last six overall games. Take the Knights. Thank you.

Take Mississippi State.                                                         

This is my OUTBACK BOWL WINNER.

Game 270.

9:00 am pst.

Iowa was an underdog three times this season, losing and failing to cover all three contests. Not only that, but the defense gave up 28 or more points in five outings in 2018. Despite mediocre offensive statistics, the Hawkeyes still managed to average, 31.5 PPG. They will be without one of their best receivers, TE, Noah Fant, who is skipping the game to prepare for the NFL draft. The Mississippi State defense is the best in the country, allowing only, 12.0 PPG, ranking 6th vs. the pass 10th vs. the run. The Bulldogs are a running team. The Hawkeyes defense is good against the rush, however, the Mississippi State "O" will keep the Iowa "D" on the field and tire the unit out. While, the Hawkeyes QB, Nate Stanley is a passer, the Bulldogs play-caller, Nick Fitzgerald, is a dual-threat QB, something that Iowa hasn't seen too much of this season. The Hawkeyes are 1-3-1 ATS the last five games played on neutral sites and 1-4 ATS the last five games overall. The Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS the last five non-conference games and 4-1 ATS the last five overall games. Take Mississippi State. Thank you.

Take Oregon.

This is my SAN FRANCISCO BOWL WINNER.

Game 262.

12:00 pm pst.

The Michigan State offense is lethargic, averaging just, 19.8 PPG. They've accounted for a total of 26 points over their last three regular season outings. The Spartans are known for their defense, but have had issues when facing well-balanced offensive units. Well, Oregon can score points (18th, 37.2 PPG) in the air as well as on the ground, and finishing the season with two big wins, the Ducks come in here with confidence. QB, Justin Herbert (59.6% CR, 2985 YP, 28/8) is a better field general and more reliable than either Spartans play-callers, Brian Lewerke or Rocky Lombardi (49.3% CR, 2606 YP, 11/13 combined). Michigan State is 0-4 ATS the last four meetings vs. Oregon, 2-7 ATS the last nine games vs. the PAC 12, and 1-5 ATS the last six games played following a SU win. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Take Cincinnati.

This is my MILITARY BOWL WINNER.

Game 258.

9:00 am pst.

Virginia Tech has played the tougher schedule, but their losses to Old Dominion and Georgia Tech are hard to overlook. Cincinnati, one of college football's most-pleasant surprises (10-2), enter this Bowl contest with a very healthy team, the 7th ranked defense in the nation (16.1 PPG allowed), and the better QB-RB tandem. Desmond Riddler (62.5% CR, 2359 YP, 19/5) and Michael Warren II (1163 YR, 17 TD's) are explosive. The Bearcats are 5-2 ATS the last seven non-conference games. The Hokies are 2-6 ATS the last 8 overall games. Take Cincinnati. Thank you.

Take Philadelphia.

This is my NO LIMIT.
Game 309.

1:25 pm pst

Philadelphia has had their way with Washington, winning and covering the last three meetings, including a 28-13 victory on December 3rd. The Eagles are red-hot, winning four of their last five SU and have last year's Super Bowl MVP back under Center. Nick Foles has looked very sharp. Not to mention that the reigning Super Bowl champs are playing for a chance at the last Wild Card spot. The Redskins are banged-up, have dropped five of their last six SU, and pose no offensive threat whatsoever (18.7 PPG). The Favorite is 4-0 ATS the last four meetings in this series. Take Philadelphia. Thank you.

Take Penn.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 611.

11:00 am pst.

Penn has already upended George mason, Northern Iowa, Miami-Florida, and Villanova. The Quakers have a strong front court, with Brodeur and Wang (25.8 PPG, 11.3 RPG combined) to go along with the back court quartet of the very talented, Goodman, Woods, Washington, and Selpe. Toledo is off to a good start but the Rockets haven't faced the same level of competition and this will be their first real test of the season. Penn is 5-0 ATS the L5 overall. Toledo is 2-6 ATS the L8 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take the Quakers. Thank you.

Take Loyola Marymount.

This is my BLUE CHIP PLAY.

Game 824.

7:00 pm pst.

This is a very short price to lay with an 11-2 LMU team that has outright victories over such notables as UNLV and Georgetown. UC Davis (3-8 SU, 3-7 ATS) is winless on the road at 0-5 SU, getting outscored by an average of 11.4 PPG as a guest. The Lions top-10 defense will completely shut down the Aggies already-challenged, offense (ranking 344th, 61.5 PPG). UCD is 3-7 ATS the last 10 overall. LMU is 6-2 ATS the last eight vs. the Big West. Take the Lions. Thank you.

Take UT-Arlington.

This is my SHOCKER PLAY.
Game 817.

5:00 pm pst.

At 7-4, Texas should not be laying nearly 20 points to any team, especially a very scrappy, UT-Arlington squad that has covered the last four meetings in this series. The Mavericks won the latest matchup with the Longhorns, and the previous three were decided by an average of 6.6 PPG. UTA is 5-0 ATS the last five vs. the Big 12. Texas is 1-4 ATS the last five vs. the Sun belt. Take the Mavericks. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my CAMPING WORLD BOWL WINNER.

Game 243.

2:15 pm pst.

QB, Will Grier and LT, Yodny Cajuste will not participate here, as they are preparing for the NFL draft. This is going to drastically impact the 3rd ranked passing unit of West Virginia as sophomore backup, Jack Allison will take the reins. Reports are that the Miami transfer has problems in the pinch. Well, Syracuse like to blitz, and has success in doing so. The Mountaineers are already depressed after finishing the regular season with back-to-back losses and now must face a Syracuse offense that is a juggernaut, averaging over 40.8 PPG, equally good on the ground and in the air. Dual-threat QB, Eric Dungey (2565 YP, 17/7 in the air, 732 YR, 15 TD's on the ground) will outplay and outscore his youthful and inexperienced, counterpart. The Orange won and covered the last three meetings against the Mountaineers, in 2010, 2011. and 2012, by an average of 18.3 PPG. West Virginia is 0-6 ATS the last six games played in the month of December, 1-6 ATS the last seven neutral site games, 0-4 ATS the last four vs. the ACC, and 0-5 ATS the last five Bowl games. Take Syracuse. Thank you.

Take Purdue.

This is my NCAAF MUSIC CITY BOWL WINNER.

Game 242.

10:30 am pst.

To be quite honest, the wrong team is favored here. Purdue should be a 1-2 point fav in this matchup. One of the biggest disappointments this college football season, is Auburn. This, 7-5 Tigers squad was a pre-season CFP hopeful. They just got smoked, 52-21, in their regular season finale to Alabama. QB, Jarrett Stidham, who had a very subpar year (2421 YP, 13/5), has announced that he is skipping his senior year to enter the NFL draft. Maybe he sees things getting worse, down the road. This is a team that once again is in a lower-tier, Bowl, just like a season ago when they lost in the Peach Bowl to UCF, 34-27. The offense is stagnant and we've seen their defense look mortal when facing tough opposition. Purdue is healthy, happy to be in a Bowl, love that HC, Jeff Brohm is sticking around, and have the best playmaker on the field in Rondale Moore (1164 YR, 13 TD's). The WR leads a very deep, receiving corps. QB, David Blough (66.6% CR, 3521 YP, 25/8) is going to move the chains in the air. Take the points with the Boilermakers here. Thank you.

Take Georgia Tech.

This is my NCAAF QUICK LANE BOWL WINNER.

Game 232.

2:15 pm pst.

There are quite a few factors that urge me to side with Georgia Tech here. Paul Johnson is coaching his last game. The Head Coach has had success at Georgia Southern (62-10), Navy (45-29), and Georgia Tech (82-59). Johnson is a very respected and well-liked HC. This season, the Yellow Jackets triple-option led the nation in rushing (335.0 YPG). The scheme will be terminated next year by replacement HC, Geoff Collins. So, expect this offense to go out with a bang. They will keep the 75th ranked run defense of Minnesota on the field, and by the 2nd half, gasping for air. Another big factor, is that the Golden Gophers have six players suspended here, and the team is distracted. Playing in the high-flying, ACC, the Yellow Jackets defense fared very well and are strong enough to contain the mediocre, Golden Gophers "O". Take Georgia tech. Thank you.

Take Dallas.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 102.

10:00 am pst.

Dallas lost last week to an AFC foe, after a 5-game win and cover streak. They were blanked for the first time in 15 years. Expect a big bounce-back here at AT&T Stadium to lock up the NFC East title in front of a friendly, home crowd. They certainly don't want to leave anything to chance for their final regular season game, next week, against division rival, New York. Tampa Bay's defense is the perfect remedy after LW's poor offensive performance, as the Buccaneers rank 27th both against the pass and against the run. Look for Elliott and Cooper to put up big numbers. Offensively, the Bucs have fallen flat, posting a total of 26 points their last two outings. And facing the NFL's 4th ranked stop-unit (19.2 PPG allowed), won't help matters. Sean Lee is back on "D", and despite a few banged-up OL members, Elliott will still hit the century mark as the Buccaneers "D" has yielded 9-straight 100-yard rushing games. Tampa Bay is 1-6 SU on the road, going 3-3-1 ATS. Dallas is 6-1 SU at home, going 5-2 ATS. Take the Cowboys. Thank you.

Take Minnesota.

This is my NFL NFC NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 115.

10:00 am pst.                                                                     

Minnesota is in the playoffs and would certainly like to put up a few more wins to better their seeding situation. They finish up at home next week, against NFC North title holder, Chicago. This is potentially a big game for the Vikings. They took down the Lions, 24-9, back in Week 9. A game in which they sacked Matthew Stafford 10 times. In that meeting, Stafford was healthier, he had more weapons at his disposal, and his OL was intact. Now the QB has back issues, their receiving corps is a hurting, their best ball-carrier is most-likely going to miss his 5th game, and the OL is very banged-up. They've averaged only, 15.8 PPG over their L8 games. There's no way they can deal with the rejuvenated, Vikings offense that has gone back to running the ball. QB, Kirk Cousins has a healthy offense and the defense has been on point all year, yielding just, 22.0 PPG. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Take ASU.

Game 670.

6:00 pm pst.

This is the first true road test for top-ranked, Kansas. ASU won LY's meeting, in Lawrence. The Sun Devils own the superior rebounders. The Jayhawks are without Center, Azubuike, leaving the paint in the hands of their only other tested big man, Forward, Lawson. Arizona State is loaded with big, strong, front court, muscle, rotating 5 Forwards. The Sun Devils are 5-0 SU at home this season, outscoring visitors by 19.6 PPG. ASU is 4-1-1 ATS the L6 games at home and 6-0 ATS the L6 games vs. the BIG 12. Kansas is 0-5 ATS the L5 Saturday games and 1-5 ATS the L6 games vs. the PAC 12. Take the Sun Devils. Thank you.

Take Army.

This is my ARMED FORCES BOWL WINNER.

Game 224.

12:30 pm pst.

Buy this number down for the extra few pennies, to air on the side of caution. At first glance, Houston looked like the play, but looking closer, I strongly reversed my decision. The Cougars, after starting 7-1, dropped three of their last four games. Things go from bad to worse for the team, which just fired HC, Mark D'Onofrio, and will be without four DL, including All-American DT, Ed Oliver. This doesn't bode well as they go up against the nation's #2 rushing attack. On the other side of the ball, Houston lost their biggest offensive playmaker, QB, D'Eriq King (2982 YP and 36 TD's in the air, 816 YR and 5 TD's on the ground). It's going to be a long day facing the stout, 13th ranked Army defense (18.0 PPG allowed).Take the Black Knights. Thank you.

Take Ohio State.

This is my CBS TV WINNER.

Game 687.

12:00 pm pst.

The UCLA basketball team is starting to resemble the football team. The Bruins, at 7-4, come off back-to-back losses. First, they lost to Belmont, as a 6.5-point favorite. then they got shellacked by 29 at the hands of Cincinnati, a team that Ohio State disposed of quite easily in their season opener. The Buckeyes swarming defense (16th in PA, 61.4 PPG, and 6th in FG%, at 37.1%), is going to shut down the Bruins offensively. UCLA is 1-7 ATS the L8 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, 2-6 ATS the L8 non-conference games, and 6-16 ATS the L22 following a SU loss. Take Ohio State. Thank you.

Take Wake Forest.

This is my BIRMINGHAM BOWL WINNER.

Game 221.

9:00 am pst.

These are two very different teams at the moment. Wake Forest, which lost 13 players between the pre and regular seasons, has had time to rest, heal, and prepare. Several key personnel return here, including RB, Matt Colburn, which gives the Demon Deacons back their 1-2 , backfield punch of Colburn and Cade Carney (1693 YR, 13 TD's combined). Memphis RB, Darrell Henderson, who led the nation in all-purpose yards, is skipping the contest to prepare for the NFL draft. Wake Forest finished the season with a, 59-7 rout at Duke, while Memphis lost to Central Florida, in the AAC title game, 56-41. Reports are that the Demon Deacons are excited to be in their third straight Bowl, while the Tigers are not, after losing a chance to appear in a more prestigious Bowl. Wake Forest is 5-1 ATS the last six in December and 4-1 ATS the last five Bowls. Memphis is 0-5 ATS the last five in December and 1-5 ATS the last six Bowls. Take Wake Forest. Thank you.

Take Portland.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 518.

7:05 pm pst.

Portland is striding, as the back court of Lillard and McCollum are playing as well as any tandem in the League. This team is 12-4 SU at home, (11-5 ATS), winning and covering 4 straight at the Moda Center. With a much better rebounding squad and sharper shooters, I must side with Portland here. They are 4-0 ATS the L4 on 1 days rest, 28-10 ATS the L38 at home, and 19-8-1 ATS the L28 vs. the NBA Northwest. Utah is 2-6 ATS the L8 following an ATS win, 0-4-1 ATS the L5 on the road, and 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. the NBA Northwest. Take the Blazers. Thank you.

Take FIU.

This is my BAHAMAS BOWL WINNER.

Game 217.

9:30 am pst.

Florida International enters this Bowl game with a very healthy squad, led by a solid, MAC transfer at QB. James Morgan (65.8% CR, 2727 YP, 26/7) knows this Toledo team. As a member of Bowling Green, he threw for 335 YP and 5 TD's in an October, 2016 matchup. The Rockets have backup, Eli Peters under center. The QB has just a, 54.6% CR, and 15 TD's, against 7 INT's. The big difference here is the disparity in both QB's, along with a Toledo defense that is a doormat, ranking 105th vs. the pass, and allowing the most points, 30.2 PPG, in over four years. FIU is 4-0 ATS the last four vs. winners, 5-2 ATS the last seven non-conference games, and 14-6 ATS the last 20 overall. Toledo is 2-5 ATS the last seven vs. winners, 2-5 ATS the last seven non-conference games, and 1-5-1 ATS the last seven in December. Take the Golden Panthers. Thank you.

Take Ohio.

This is my FRISCO BOWL WINNER.

Game 213.

5:00 pm pst.

Talk about folding, San Diego State started the year at 6-1, only to finish with a record of 7-5, including three straight losses to end the season. To make matters worse, the Aztecs crushed bettors, riding a 1-6 ATS run. Rocky Long's boys are known for having a very poor offense and a solid defense. Their "O" averages just, 22.3 PPG. But, as we look closely, we see their "D" started to leak, allowing, 26.1 PPG over their last five outings. Ohio can score points, ranking 10th nationally, accounting for, 41.2 PPG. Defensively, they are good enough here in this matchup. There is no way San Diego State can keep pace on the scoreboard with Ohio. The Aztecs are 3-7 ATS the last 10 in December and 1-5 ATS the last six non-conference games. The Bobcats are 4-0 ATS the last four in December and 5-1 ATS the last six Bowl games. Take Ohio. Thank you.

Take UAB.

Game 212.

4:00 pm pst.  

Both defenses are very tough. The Huskies allow just, 21.5 PPG. The Blazers yield a mere, 17.3 PPG. The big difference here is the superiority of the UAB offense. Their success begins on the OL. Head Coach, Bill Clark, who is in the talks for Coach of the Year honors, recruits some of the best players in the south. Please understand, he gets all of the Alabama also-rans, which results in the team rushing for over 208.9 YPG. Not only that, but the OL has the size and strength to hold off the NIU defense, particularly, their best player, DE, Sutton Smith. The Huskies are just 2-9, both SU and ATS, their last 11 Bowl games, including an 0-7 ATS slide as an underdog, and a current 0-5 ATS run. The Blazers are eager to earn the school's first Bowl victory ever. Northern Illinois is 1-5 ATS the last six vs. C-USA teams and 0-4 ATS the last four December games. Alabama Birmingham is 8-3 ATS the last 11 vs. teams with a winning record and 8-3 ATS the last 11 overall. Take Alabama Birmingham. Thank you.

Take New Orleans.

This is my MNF GOY.

Game 331.

5:15 pm pst.

Normally, you should go against a team playing their third consecutive game on the road, but the Saints aren't "normal". They bounced back from their first loss since Week 1, to win and cover last week over the Buccaneers, with a 25-0, 2nd half edge. New Orleans (11-2) controls their home field destiny in the NFC playoffs. Expect Drew Brees and company (#2 offense, 34.4 PPG) to notch a big win over a division rival that they have beaten three straight meetings. Carolina is on a five-game lose and no-cover slide. The Panthers one man offense of Christian McCaffrey (leads the team in rushing, receiving, and TD's) will have problems against a stingy, Saints "D" that hasn't given up better than 17 points over their last five outings. New Orleans is 4-0 ATS the last four in Carolina, 20-6 ATS the last 26 on the road, and 8-1 ATS the last nine vs. NFC opponents. Take the Saints. Thank you.     

Take Seattle.

This is my NFC WEST GOM.

Game 325.

1:05 pm pst.

San Francisco, which by the way, has lost 10 or more games for four consecutive seasons, has not covered back-to-back games in 2018. They now face a Seattle team that has dominated them, taking the last 10 meetings SU, going 8-2 ATS. The Seahawks crushed the 49ers just two weeks ago, 43-16. Nothing has changed over the last 14 days to make me think that this will have any different of an outcome. With a win here, at Levi's Stadium, Seattle can sew up an NFC Wild Card slot. Veteran QB, Russell Wilson will once again outplay counterpart, Nick Mullens. The Seahawks are 5-1 ATS the last six games played at the 49ers and 11-2-1 ATS the last 14 overall vs. the 49ers. They are also 4-0 ATS the last four games played on the road and 6-0-1 ATS the last seven vs. NFC opponents. The 49ers are 6-15 ATS the L21 home games and 0-5 ATS the last five against NFC foes. Take Seattle. Thank you.  

Take Dallas.

This is my DOMINATOR play.

Game 313.

10:00 am pst.

With serious playoff implications here, I must side with a Dallas team riding the longest active win streak in the NFL (5 games). A win here will clinch the NFC East title. Since acquiring Amari Cooper, the Cowboys are 5-1 (both SU and ATS). The WR (642 YR, 6 TD's, 16.1 YPC) gives the offense a true aerial threat to go along with a solid ground assault behind RB, Ezekiel Elliott (1262 YR, 6 TD's). But, it has been the League's 2nd ranked defense (18.9 PPG allowed) that has been the key to their success. Indianapolis also needs this game, but QB, Andrew Luck has no ground game and just can't do it all by himself. The Colts "D" folds like a cheap suit when facing mediocre offensive units, let alone solid "O's". The Cowboys are 4-1-1 ATS the last six games played in the month of December and 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take Dallas. Thank you.

Take Tennessee.

This is my VI play.

Game 319.

10:00 am pst.

Tennessee looks to stay in the playoff race, so a win is a must here. New York has notched just 1 victory over a playoff caliber team this season, and that was against Chicago with a backup at QB. The Giants defense has struggled when facing mobile QB's. Marcus Mariota is as mobile as they come. On the other side of the ball, WR, OBJ is banged-up (check status), which leaves the offense entirely reliant upon the legs of Saquon Barkley. The rookie RB is going up against the #4 overall defense in the NFL (19.5 PPG allowed), which has yielded just 6 rushing TD's this year. The Titans are 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the Giants and 4-1 ATS the L5 in the months of December. The Giants are 2-8-1 ATS the L11 following an ATS win and 1-4-1 ATS the L6 games played at home. Take Tennessee. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 305.

5:20 pm pst.

With a new sense of pride, Cleveland has won 5 games this season and has a shot to take the division and a possible, post-season slot. Baker Mayfield will exploit the depleted, Denver secondary missing Harris Jr., and also may be without (check status) Brock and Yiadom. The Broncos offense is struggling with the absence of WR, Sanders, They are 3-7 ATS the L10 in December and 3-7-1 ATS the L11 at home. Take the Browns. Thank you.  

Take Houston.

This is my Bookie Buster.

Game 303.

1:30 pm .

Don't put any stock in New York's, 27-23 win at Buffalo last week. Come on guys, it's Buffalo! Prior to that, the Jets lost 6 in a row SU, going 1-5 ATS. Sam Darnold, to me is very overrated. And now, he must face Watt, Clowney, and the 5th ranked Houston "D", that's  yielding just 19.9 PPG and have tallied, 43 sacks. The Texans still have a shot at a playoff bye with a win here. The "Big 3" of Watson, Hopkins, and Miller are just too much offense for the Jets defense. Houston is 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. the AFC and 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. New York is 0-4 ATS the L4 vs. teams with a winning record and 2-5 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Texans. Thank you.

Take Fresno State.

This is my LAS VEGAS BOWL WINNER.

Game 206.

12:30 pm pst.

As soon as this matchup was announced, I went out and picked up first row, 50-yard line seats. Guess where? On the Bulldogs side of the field. Not to take any credit away from an Arizona State team that beat Michigan State, Southern Cal, Utah, and Arizona, but, they must face the nation's #3 stop-unit, without one of their biggest offensive stars. WR, N'Keal Harry (1080 YR, 9 TD's), who is an expected 1st round draft pick, will forgo the Bowl game to avoid any possible chance of injury. Harry is QB, Manny Wilkins' "go-to" guy and the offenses biggest playmaker. The Sun Devils must rely upon 1524-yard rusher, Eno Benjamin. The RB is outstanding, but the Bulldogs, already-fierce defense will be able to key on the ball-carrier. Offensively, Fresno State puts up 34.9 PPG, mostly in the air. This doesn't bode well for a porous, ASU defense that ranks 82nd vs. the pass. Arizona State is 2-7 ATS the last nine Bowl games, 0-4 ATS the last four in the month of December, and 1-6 ATS the last seven vs. MWC foes. Fresno State is 8-2 ATS the last 10 non-conference games, 4-1 ATS the last five in the month of December, and 27-6-1 ATS the last 34 overall. Take Fresno State. Thank you.

Take Boston.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 568.

4:05 pm pst.

Boston is on-fire, winning and covering 7 straight, and thumped Atlanta, 114-96, in the first meeting, about three weeks ago. During their current hot streak, the Celtics have outscored opponents, by 23.0 PPG. The Hawks, losers of 5 of their L6 SU (2-4 ATS) are having problems on both sides of the court resulting in a 2-5 ATS mark their L7 games played on 1 days rest and 0-5 ATS their L5 against the NBA Atlantic. Take Boston. Thank you.

This is my TNW.

Games 301/302.

5:20 pm pst.

Two of the most-explosive offenses square off tonight, as Los Angeles ranks 5th, accounting for 28.2 PPG and Kansas City ranks 1st, averaging over 36.2 PPG. These teams enter this meeting having played to 5 OVERS in their L6 combined outings. The Chiefs defense has been a doormat, yielding 27.0 PPG while the Chargers give up 20.8 PPG. This matchup will be a high-scoring affair. take the OVER. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my VEGAS INSIDER PLAY.

Game 536.

7:35 pm pst.

Giving Los Angeles 4 points at home, where they are 9-2 SU and 8-3 ATS, is a gift. The Clippers have taken the L2 meetings in this series (both SU and ATS). Toronto looks to be the best team in the East, however, they tend to get overvalued, having covered just twice over their L8 outings. Harris and Gallinari match up well with Leonard and Ibaka. The underdog is 6-2 ATS the L8 meetings in this series. The Raptors are 1-5 ATS the L6 on 1 days rest and 4-10 ATS the L14 vs. the West. The Clippers are 5-1 ATS the L6 on 0 days rest and 8-2 ATS the L10 at home. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Take Villanova.

This is my ESPN WINNER.

Game 601.

4:00 pm pst.

This line should be closer to a -11 or -12. The oddsmakers are giving Penn a little too much credit here, after a December 4th, outright victory over Miami-Fl. However, this team stepped up twice earlier this season and faced Kansas State and Oregon State and got crushed in both. Villanova will come out here and prove a point. These two teams play every year and the Wildcats have taken 10 straight (6-4 ATS), with the average margin of victory coming by 19.6 PPG, with the L6 all being separated by 13 or more points. The Quakers are 5-11 ATS the L16 vs. the Big east. The Wildcats are 37-15 ATS the L52 vs. non-conference foes.

Take Villanova. Thank you.

Take Denver.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 526.

6:05 pm pst.

Denver will get payback here for the November 7th, 2-point loss to Memphis. The Nuggets only shot 39% from the field that night. The Grizzlies are no match on the boards here. The Home Team is 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Memphis is 1-4 ATS the L5 on 1 days rest. Denver is 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. the West. Take the Nuggets. Thank you.

Take Boston.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 514.

4:35 pm pst.

Boston is riding a 5-game win and cover streak and have already routed New Orleans, 124-107, in the earlier meeting. The Celtics own a Top-10 defense in every major category and will shut down the Hornets offense , once again. Boston is 21-6 ATS the L27 at home. Take the Celtics. Thank you.

Take the OVER in the RAMS/BEARS matchup.

This is my LATE BAILOUT.

Games 119/120.

5:20 pm pst.

The NFC West champ, Los Angeles, are looking to stay ahead of New Orleans for home field in the conference playoffs. The Rams offense that accounts for over 34.9 PPG. The 1-2 punch of QB, Jared Goff (66.4% CR, 3754 YP, 27/7) and RB, Todd Gurley (1175 YR, 15 TD's) can light up any defense in football. The Bears have a good "D", but haven't faced a tandem of the caliber of Goff and Gurley all season. Moreover, the only two able QB's they have went up against (Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady combined for 573 YP, 6/1), tore them up. Mitch Trubisky (check status) is most-likely playing, and will add the spark to the 5th ranked scoring offense (28.7) and put up points on the porous LA defense that has gotten burned quite a bit this season. The OVER is 5-1 in the Rams L6 vs. teams with a winning record and 4-1 in the Bears L5 overall. Take the OVER. Thank you.  

Take Los Angeles.

This is my NO LIMIT

 Game 119.

5:20 pm pst.

The NFC West champ, Los Angeles, are looking to stay ahead of New Orleans for home field in the conference playoffs. So, I don't have a problem laying a short price here with a Rams offense that accounts for over 34.9 PPG. The 1-2 punch of QB, Jared Goff (66.4% CR, 3754 YP, 27/7) and RB, Todd Gurley (1175 YR, 15 TD's) can light up any defense in football. The Bears have a good "D", but haven't faced a tandem of the caliber of Goff and Gurley all season. Moreover, the only two able QB's they have went up against (Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady combined for 573 YP, 6/1), tore them up (both losses). Mitch Trubisky (check status) is most-likely playing, but the QB does not have the arsenal to contend here. The Los Angeles offense ranks 2nd in total yards, 4th in passing yards, 4th in rushing yards, and 2nd on points scored. Take the Rams. Thank you. 

Take Nevada.

This is my POWERHOUSE PLAY.

Game 961.

2:30 pm pst.

Nevada, who owns a perfect, 9-0 record, just overmatches Grand Canyon in every aspect. The Wolfpack are a very accurate and high-scoring team (49.1%, 86.2 PPG). The Antelopes just don't have the talent to compete here. Nevada is 5-0 ATS this season laying DD's. Take the Wolfpack. Thank you.

Take Pittsburgh.

This is my LVSM.

Game 131.

1:25 pm pst.

Normally, I wouldn't lay DD's with Pittsburgh here, especially with New England on deck for them. They just blew a 16-point halftime lead in last week's, 33-30 loss to Los Angeles. And, James Conner is out. But playing Oakland trumps all that. Look for the Steelers to bounce back here with a vengeance. Last Sunday, with under two minutes left, the Chiefs let the Raiders score 10 points with the game in hand, to beat Oakland, 40-33. That seven-point deficit was the only defeat over Oakland's last seven losses to come by less than 14 points. Pittsburgh will try to establish a ground attack with Stevan Ridley and Jaylen Samuels, but Big Ben is going to do most of the damage against an Oakland "D" that hasn't been able to stop any good throwing QB's this year. The Raiders "stop-less" stop-unit ranks 31st, allowing over 30.6 PPG. Offensively, they rank 29th, averaging a mere, 18.3 PPG and must face a healthy and ferocious Steelers "D". Pittsburgh is 6-1 ATS the last seven following a SU loss. Oakland is 2-6 ATS the last eight at home. Take the Steelers. Thank you

Take Denver.

This is my DOMINATOR.

Game 123.

1:05 pm pst.

In just four starts, Nick Mullens has gone from a hero to a punch line. The QB, who looked great, tossing three TD's vs. Oakland in his debut, has now just 2 TD's and 5 INT's over the last three games since, all losses, both SU and ATS. The 23-year old must now step up to the line against a vastly improving, Denver "D", consisting of the fierce, Von Miller-Bradley Chubb pass rush. The Broncos are riding a three-game win and cover streak to bring the team to 6-6, and right back into the AFC Wild Card race. Case Keenum can rely upon RB, Phillip Lindsay (937 YR, 8 TD's) to keep the 49ers defense off-balance and open up the passing game, even without WR, Emmanuel Sanders (out, achilles).  Denver is 4-0 ATS the last four on the road and 6-1 ATS the last seven overall. San Francisco is 1-4 ATS the last five at home and 1-5 ATS the last six overall. Take the Broncos. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the BRONCOS/49ers matchup.

This is my HIGH ROLLER.

Games 123/124.

Case Keenum must rely upon RB, Phillip Lindsay (937 YR, 8 TD's) here to move the chains and eat up a ton of clock, as the offense is without WR, Emmanuel Sanders (out, achilles). The Under is 4-0-1 in the Denver's L5 overall and 4-1 in the 49ers L5 on grass. Take the UNDER. Thank you. 

Take Princeton.

This is my ABOVE THE RIM.

Game 857.

10:15 am pst.

The St. Johns defense is just horrible, allowing over 71.6 PPG. Therefore, the Red Storm should not be laying 12.5 points to anyone, let alone a very scrappy, Tigers team. St. Johns is 1-7 ATS this season, 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the Ivy League, and 0-4 ATS the L4 neutral site games. Take Princeton. Thank you.

Take Atlanta.

This is my Underdog Outright Winner.

Game 111.

10:00 am pst.

Two pre-season, NFC favorites enter this contest with seven combined losses. The Packers are banged-up on both sides of the ball and are dealing with a new HC for the first time in 13 years. Atlanta has taken the last three meetings in this series by a combined, 35 points and come into this matchup with more weapons in their arsenal. The road team is 9-3 ATS the last 12 meetings in this series. Atlanta is 5-0 ATS the last five in Green Bay. Green Bay is 1-5-1 ATS the last seven vs. NFC opponents. Take the Falcons. Thank you. 

Take OVER in the SAINTS/BUCCANEERS matchup.

This is my NFC TOTAL OF THE WEEK.

Games 113/114.

10:00 am pst.

Tampa Bay has played their division rival very tough, winning and covering the last two meetings, including an early-September, 48-40 victory. New Orleans suffered their first defeat since Week 1, and they've had a few extra days to rest and prepare. The Bucs own the #1 passing unit in the NFL and the Saints have a big weakness, in their 30th ranked defense vs. the pass.

The OVER is 4-1 in the Saints L5 vs. the NFC South, 7-1 in the Saints L8 following a SU loss, 4-1 in the Bucs L5 vs. the NFC South, and 9-4 in the Bucs L13 overall. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the Jets/Bills matchup.

This is my AFC TOTAL OF THE MONTH.

Games 115/116.

10:00 am pst.

Well, the last time the Bills were a favorite was December 31st of last year. WOW! Two rookie QB's look to square off here as USC product, Sam Darnold goes up against Wyoming standout, Josh Allen. Both play-callers displayed brief moments of greatness (very brief), but both have struggled. Darnold has a 55.0% CR, 11/14, while Allen possesses a 52.9% CR, 5/7. These two passing units rank among the worst in the League and neither offensive squad has had success running the ball either. New York accounts for just 20.2 PPG, and Buffalo averages only 14.8 PPG. However, despite poor records, both defensive units have played well this season. There just might be higher-scoring games in the NHL this Sunday. LOL. The Under is 5-2 the last seven meetings in Buffalo, 4-1 in the Jets last five vs. the AFC East, and 7-3 ATS in the Bills last 10 overall. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take New England.

This is my AFC EAST GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 117.

10:00 am pst. 

Don't put any stock in reading that Miami has given New England trouble over the years. This is Belichick and Brady in December. The Patriots can lock up a record, 10th straight division title with a win here and are just one game behind the Chiefs for the best overall mark in the AFC. Tom Brady and company routed the Dolphins, 38-7, back in September, to give the team their fourth win and cover in the last five meetings in this series. Since then, New England has gotten healthier and better. New England is 17-6 ATS the last 23 on the road, 5-0 ATS the last five vs. the AFC, and 37-15-2 ATS the last 52 overall. Take the Patriots. Thank you.

Take Baltimore

This is my BOOKIE BUSTER.

Game 105.

10:00 am pst. 

This is an interesting matchup as the League's best scoring offense goes up against its best scoring defense. Facing a stingy, Baltimore stop-unit without a proven ball-carrier, is going to be a much tougher task than last week's matchup against a cushy, Oakland "D". HC, John Harbaugh mentioned that he may use both, Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson at the helm. Flacco can exploit the Chiefs 32nd ranked pass defense, while Jackson and RB, Gus Edwards will team up to exploit the 22nd run defense of Kansas City. Baltimore is 5-2 ATS the last seven in the month of December. Take the Ravens. Thank you.

Take the OVER in the COLTS/TEXANS matchup.

This is my INSIDE INFO MOVE.

Games 107/108.

10:00 am pst.

Houston bested Indianapolis, 37-34 in OT, to start their nine game win streak, back on September 30th. Another win and the Texans can lock up the AFC South, but the Colts, at 6-6, are desperate after being blanked, 6-0 LW by the Jaguars, following a five game win streak. Andrew Luck hasn't had too many unproductive performances. So expect the veteran QB to bounce back and have a strong outing against the 18th ranked pass defense of Houston. The Colts averaged 34.6 PPG on their five game win streak prior to LW's loss. The Texans average over 27.7 PPG at home. Take the OVER. Thank you.
