02-25-17	Hornets v. Kings +3.5		99-85	Loss	-110	6 h 38 m	Show
Take Sacramento. This is my Las Vegas Strip Move. Game 502. 1:00 pm pst. Charlotte is playing as if they have called it quits for the season, as there are 1-11 SU their L12 overall, covering just 3 of their elf 13. Willie Cauley-Stein got the extra playing minutes everyone expected, with Cousins leaving town. The Center played 35 minutes the other night, accounting for 29 points and 10 rebounds. The Kings already took down the Hornets, 109-106 for the win and cover back, on January 28th. There was some questionable talk going around the league, pertaining to how Sacramento was going to be with some new acquisitions and some key departures. Well, on the first day back since the All-Star break, they shot 52.3% on the floor, over 50% from the three-point land, and 89.5% from the FT line. The Hornets are 2-5-1 ATS their L8 games played on the road, 1-6 ATS their L7 games played on 1 days rest, and 1-5-1 ATS their L7 games played vs. Western Conference opponents. The Kings are 4-0 ATS their L4 games played at home, 4-0 ATS their L4 games played on 1 days rest, and 5-1ATS their L6 games played at home. Take Sacramento. Thank you.
02-25-17	Baylor v. Iowa State -1.5	Top	69-72	Win	100	5 h 35 m	Show
Take Iowa State. Is my Big 12 Game of the Month. Game 582. 1:00 pm pst. There is currently a three-way tie for second place in the Conference. Baylor, West Virginia, and Iowa State are all at 10-5 in League play. Well there's a lot of motivation for the Cyclones here. They have lost the L5 meetings in this series, including a two point heartbreaker (which they did cover) 65-63, back on January 4th. ISU is streaking, as they have won 4 games in a row both SU and ATS. Baylor, however has cooled down considerably, going just 3-4SU since the beginning of February, covering just 3 of their L9 outings. The ISU offense has exploded for 80 or more points over the last 4, while the Baylor "O", has been flat this entire month, posting just 66.7 PPG. The Bears are just 2-9 ATS the L11 meetings played at the Cyclones and 3-7 ATS their L10 games following a SU win.

Take Dayton. This is my A-10 GOM. Game 877. 6:00 pm pst. Dayton is tied with VCU at 13-2 in A-10 play, with Rhode Island and Richmond at 10-5. Dayton has today's game and then a matchup with VCU, before their finale against GW. The Flyers, in all logic, shouldn't have a problem with the Colonials, So they need a win here today. They are red-hot, riding a 15-2 SU run, covering 5 straight on the road. Davidson has collapsed in February, donning a 2-4 SU and ATS mark for the month. Things go from bad to worse here as the Wildcats season long issue of not having a consistent supporting cast for tandem 20+ PPG scorers, Gibbs and Aldridge. Now with 3rd leading scorer, Will sitting the L2 (concussion) and listed as questionable tonight, scoring will be even more difficult against a Flyers "D" that allows just. 64.7 PPG on 40.5% shooting. Davidson is 3-11 ATS their L14 as a home underdog, 1-5 ATS their L6 vs. teams with a SU winning record, and 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. teams with a winning % of over .600.

Take Valparaiso. This is my DOMINATOR. Game 873. 4:30 pm pst. Valpo is 1-game ahead of Oakland in the Horizon League with just tonight's contest and then their finale at Northern Kentucky. The Crusaders will keep their foot on the gas here. Despite handling both remaining foes quite easily this season, they know full well, that both play solid ball. The team has some added motivation here, looking for some payback from LY's 0-2 series mark against WSU. Valparaiso possesses the most-talented player on the court, in 6'9", 235 lb., Alec Peters, who's 23.0 PPG and 10.1 RPG average TY, has the Forward considered for Conference Play of the year. The Road Team is 15-6-1 ATS the L22 meetings in this series. The Crusaders are 6-1 ATS their L7 as a road favorite while the Raiders are 4-9 ATS their L13 as a home underdog. Take Valparaiso.

Take UTEP. This is my Conference USA Game of the Year. Game 533. 4:00 pm pst. UTEP is red-hot, winning 9 of their L11 games SU, riding a 9-game ATS run. The Miners defense have yielded just 59.8 PPG over the current spread streak. The Owls don't have the talent to match up here, particularly in the back court, as they go up against the tandem of Harris and Artis, who account for a combined, 31.9 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 204 assists, and 85 steals. Florida Atlantic is 2-6 ATS their L8 games played at home and 13-30 ATS their L43 games played as a favorite.

Take William & Mary. This is my Insiders Edge Move. Game 532. 4:00 m pst. William & Mary are a perfect, 12-0 SU at home this season, riding a 5-game cover streak in Kaplan Arena. The Tribe took the earlier meeting over the Pride, 95-93 in OT, to get both the SU and ATS wins. Since New Year's Eve, Hofstra has failed to cover 13 of 16 games.

Take St. Bonaventure. This is my CONTRARIAN GOM. Game 719. 4:00 pm pst. St. Bonny has dominated St. Joe's, taking the L6 meetings SU, while covering 5 of the 6. St. Joe's is a mess, losing 5 in a row SU, by an average of 10.1 PPG. The Hawks lost their top-scorer, Shavar Newkirk (out since January 1st) and just lost their other starting Guard and 2nd leading-scorer, Lamarr Kimble 3 games ago (0-3 SU & 1-2 ATS). The backcourt tandem accounted for 35.7 PPG, 8.8 RPG, and 149 assists. Well, the Bonnies are "Guard-rich", with Jaylen Adams, Matt Mobley, and Idris Taqqee (47.5 PPG, 14.6 RPG, and a combined, 281 assists. Take St. Bonny. Thank you.
02-22-17	UCF +3 v. Temple		71-69	Win	100	6 h 19 m	Show
Take UCF. This is my AAC GOM. Game 725. 4:00 pm pst. UCF is back on track with 2 wins over the formidable, Tulsa and ECU squads. The Knights have covered the L3 over the Owls, including a 77-53 spanking, this past December. Central Florida owns the #6 defense in the nation, allowing just 60.8 PPG and the top NCAA "D" in FG%, holding foes to a mere, 35.9% shooting. This is also one of the toughest rebounding teams in the land, ranking 2nd offensively (42.3 RPG) and 30th defensively (28.6 RPG allowed). Owls starting Forward, Obi Enechionyia has struggled since the first month of the season. 7'6", 310 lb. Center, Tacko Fall (11.8 PPG & 9.7 RPG) will once again dominate in the paint. In the earlier meeting, UCF outrebounded Temple, 47-27, making 70.6% of their FT's (24-34) while the Owls made just 57.1% from the line (8-14), a problem plaguing the team all year.

02-21-17	Colorado State +3 v. New Mexico		68-56	Win	100	11 h 19 m	Show
Take Colorado State. This is my Inside Edge play. Game 555. 7:00 pm post. This is an ideal spot for Colorado State. Despite an investigation that may put HC, Larry Eustachy out of work and having just 7 players available most nights, the Rams are prospering, winning 7 of their L8 SU and ATS. New Mexico did beat Colorado State in Fort Collins, but that was before the CSU got hot. The Lobos play better on the road this year than play at home at the Pit Arena, possessing a 3-7 ATS mark. To make matters worse, UNM is without their 2nd-leading scorer and top rebounder, Tim Williams. Major mismatches on both ends of the court here. The Rams are 4-0 ATS their L4 games played as a road underdog, 4-0 ATS their L4 games played vs. MWC opponents, and 4-0 ATS their L4 games played overall. Take Colorado State. Thank you.
02-21-17	NC State v. Georgia Tech -4	Top	71-69	Loss	-110	9 h 22 m	Show
Take Georgia Tech. This is my ACC GOM. Game 540. 5:00 pm pst. NC State has not won or covered since January 23rd, riding a 7-game SU and ATS skid, losing by an average of 19.1 PPG. The Wolfpack are now distracted, with the current news of Coach, Mark Gottfried's release at the end of the season. Georgia Tech is playing very solid basketball, while getting the bettors paid, going 8-2 ATS their L10. The Yellow Jackets own a monster "D", yielding just 66.6 PPG on 39.4% shooting. They won and covered the January 15th meeting, shooting at astounding, 49.2% from the floor, 62.5% beyond the arc, and hitting 87.4% from the FT line, and holding 7 of 9 NC State players to 7 points or less.

Take Troy. This is my DOMINATOR. Game 710. 5:00 pm pst. Appalachian State is just 3-11 SU in Conference play, 1-13 SU away from home, and just don't have the horses to run with the very deep, Troy offensive unit here, that posts over 80.6 PPG. The Trojans 3 starting Guards combine for over 35.5 PPG along with 4 very strong rotating big men, led by Jordan Varnado (16.0 PPG & 7.0 RPG). The Mountaineers don't have the talent on the frontcourt to measure up to the superstar Forward. Troy is 9-4ATS their L13 games played vs. Sunbelt opponents and 13-4 ATS their L17 games played overall. Take the Trojans. Thank you.
02-19-17	Illinois-Chicago +10.5 v. Oakland		75-87	Loss	-108	10 h 57 m	Show
Take UIC. This is my Lay Up Play. Game 855. 12:00 pm pst. UIC matches up well with Oakland, particularly beyond the arc and on both boards, which was evident in their, 58-57 loss only 6 weeks ago. The Flames shot 7-19 while holding the Golden Grizzlies to just, 4-17 from 3-pt land and outrebounding them as well, 50-37 (19-7 O/31-30 D). Something else Ill-Chicago does well, they cover! The Flames are 6-1 ATS Their L7 road games, 4-0 ATS their L4 as an underdog, 16-7-1 ATS their L24 vs. Horizon foes, and 12-5 ATS their L17 overall. Take Illinois-Chicago. Thank you.
02-18-17	UTEP +8.5 v. Rice		79-71	Win	100	16 h 2 m	Show
Take UTEP. This is my Oddsmakers Mistake play. Game 647. 5:00 pm pst. The oddsmakers are giving Rice way too much credit here, only because they won their L5 contests. Well, UTEP is 8-2 SU their L10, while riding an 8-game cover streak. The Miners have also taken the L6 (SU) meetings in this series. The matchups heavily favor UTEP here. The Road Team is 8-1 ATS the L9 meetings in this series. The Miners are 4-1 ATS the L5 games played at the Owls, 8-0 ATS their L8 games played vs. Conf USA opponents, and 5-0 ATS their L5 games played as an underdog.

Take Old Dominion. This is my LVSM. Game 618. 4:00 pm pst. The 49ers are riding a 1-4 SU run and things will get worse here for Charlotte, who play their 3rd straight road game, losing at UAB by 13 and at MTU by 15. They took the January 21st meeting by 2 at home and since are 1-5 ATS. The Monarchs own the #7 defense in the land, yielding a mere, 61.3 PPG overall (56.4 PPG at home). ODU has the superior rebounding squad and will once again dominate the glass here. Expect the Monarchs to get their payback here as the 49ers are 3-14 ATS their L17 on the road and 1-5 ATS their L6 vs. Conf USA foes. Take Old Dominion. Thank you.
02-18-17	Colorado v. Oregon -11	Top	73-101	Win	100	11 h 20 m	Show
Take Oregon. This is my Dominator. Game 656. 12:00 pm pst. There are a few factors motivating Oregon here. For starters, they are 1-game behind Arizona in the PAC 12. They have won 41 straight at home. This game is their season home finale. And, oh yeah, the Ducks took a 74-65 loss to the Buffaloes just 3 weeks ago in Boulder. This is payback time for Oregon, who shellacked Colorado, 76-56 LY in Eugene. The Ducks have shredded Conference visitors, winning all 8 PAC 12 home games by an average of 19.1 PPG, going 7-1 ATS. Colorado is just 3-7-1 on the road TY and have a very long day ahead of them here. The Buffs won't have the same luck as the earlier matchup, having to contend with one of the nation's top defenses in PPG, FG%, 3-pt%, and on the boards. The sharp-shooting Ducks are looking to grab the Conference's top-seed and must win big today, while exacting their revenge here. The Home Team is 7-0 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Colorado is 2-6 ATS their L8 games vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600 and 5-11-1 ATS their L17 games played overall.

02-17-17	Illinois-Chicago +1.5 v. Detroit		74-69	Win	100	8 h 22 m	Show
Take UIC. This is my Horizon GOM. Game 857. 4:00 pm pst. UIC took care of Detroit pretty handily back in the beginning of January, 78-64. The Flames are fighting for a winning record (13-13) right now. A lot of incentive for a team that was just 5-25 a season ago. They go into Calihan hall to face a Titans defense that ranks 349th in scoring (85.7 PPG allowed), 350th in FG % (50.6%), 315th vs. the "3" (38.0%), and owns one of the weakest rebounding squads on both sides of the court (312th offensively & 307th defensively). Ill-Chicago possesses a solid offensive unit and excellent boardsmen. The Flames are 5-1 ATS their L6 road games, 15-7-1 ATS their L23 vs. Horizon foes, and 11-5 ATS their L16 overall. Take UIC. Thank you.
02-16-17	San Diego v. BYU -15.5		70-82	Loss	-105	11 h 52 m	Show
Take BYU. This is my Crusher play. Game 756. 8:00 pm pst. They say "revenge is a dish best served cold." Well BYU is in revenge mode here as they lost January's meeting with San Diego, 88-75, as a DD favorite. Since then, the Toreros are 2-6 SAU )3-5 ATS) riding a 4-game skid (1-3 ATS). USD took a beating to St. Mary's 12 days ago, 71-27...yes 27. I don't feel they have recuperated from this embarrassing loss just yet and get to face a BYU team in revenge mode, at home, where they are 6-0 ATS the L6 in this series. The Cougars own a very accurate shooting offense and own one of the nation's best (#3) squads on the "O" boards. Take BYU. Thank you.
02-15-17	San Diego State v. Utah State +4		66-62	Push	0	10 h 38 m	Show
Take Utah State. This is my Shocker play. Game 582. 7:00 pm pst. The healthier and better rested (1 extra day) Utah State squad will get their revenge here over a San Diego State team that beat them, 74-55 back in mid-January. The Aztecs have hit s skid lately, splitting out their L6 games SU, while going just 2-4 ATS. The Aggies have won 5 of their L6 MW home games and seem to truly turn it up at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, where they are outscoring visitors by an average of 7.7 PPG. SD State is 2-7 ATS their L9 on the road and 1-4 ATS their L5 as a favorite. Take Utah State. Thank you.
02-14-17	Colorado State +1 v. Wyoming	Top	78-73	Win	100	10 h 59 m	Show
Take Colorado State. This is my MWC GOM. Game 741. 6:00 pm pst. Colorado State has been getting the job done, despite a lack of depth, winning and covering their L3 overall, sporting a 9-4 Conference record, and rising an 8-1 ATS road mark. Wyoming falls short in this matchup, as they won't be able to deal with the swarming defense of the Rams. CSU is 6-1 ATS their L7 vs. MWC opponents, 7-1 ATS their L8 as a road 'dog, and 6-1 ATS their L7 overall. Take the Rams. Thank you.
02-14-17	Cavs -4 v. Wolves		116-108	Win	100	9 h 12 m	Show
Take Cleveland. This is my LVSM. Game 703. 5:05 pm pst. Even with Kevin Love most-likely sitting again, Cleveland will have no problem extending their 5-game SU (4-1 ATS) win streak over Minnesota. The T-Wolves are just 4-6 SU and 3-7 ATS their L10. The Cavs continue to distance themselves from the rest of the Eastern pack. Cleveland is 8-3 ATS their L11 games played in Minnesota while Minny is 0-7 ATS their L7 following a SU win. Take the Cavs. Thank you.
02-12-17	Virginia -7 v. Virginia Tech		78-80	Loss	-105	9 h 36 m	Show
Take Virginia. This is my Crusher. Game 857. 3:30 pm pst. The 12th raked Virginia Cavaliers have covered 7 of their L9 and own an 8-3 ATS mark on the road this season as they go into Cassell Coliseum. They already crushed rival, Virginia Tech Hokies with a win and cover just 11 days ago, limiting the Hokies to a mere, 48 points with the nations #1 defense (54.0 PPG allowed). No reason why today's matchup should be any different. V Tech is 2-5 ATS their L7 vs. ACC foes and 2-5 ATS their L7 games played overall. Take Virginia. Thank you.
02-11-17	Troy State +5 v. UL-Lafayette	Top	100-88	Win	100	9 h 32 m	Show
Take Troy. This is my Sun Belt GOM. Game 665. 5:15 pm pst. ULL is just 2-6 SU their L8 and 2-7 ATS over their L9 outings. Now Troy may be a .500 team at 12-12 overall but the Trojans are money away from home, sporting a 10-3 ATS mark on the campaign. The Ragin' Cajuns have but 2 rebounders, in Forward's, Washington and Miller which won't bode well as the Trojans have 5 big men that can board to rotate and wear down the ULL pair. Troy is 9-0 ATS their L9 road games, 9-1 ATS their L10 as a 'dig, and 7-3 ATS their L10 vs. Sun Belt foes. ULL is 0-5ATS their L5 at home, 1-5 ATS their L6 as a fav, and 1-4 ATS their L5 vs. Sun belt opponents. Take the Trojans. Thank you.
02-11-17	Clippers +3 v. Hornets		107-102	Win	100	5 h 5 m	Show

LA has dominate Charlotte, taking 10 of the L11 SU, going 8-3 ATS, with Blake Griffen lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 28 PPG, 9 RPG, and 5.4 APG over the L5 meetings.

02-11-17	Richmond +3 v. La Salle		64-52	Win	100	2 h 17 m	Show
Take Richmond. This is my Crusher. Game 543. 11:00 am pst. Richmond is just behind VCU and Dayton in the A-10 and are riding a 9-2 ATS run. Look for the Spiders to exploit the 304th ranked defense of the Explorers with 4 of their starting-5 posting DD's. Richmond is 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. A-10 and 4-1 ATS their L5 on the road. La Salle is 3-11 ATS their L14 following an ATS win and 2-6 ATS their L8 vs. teams with a winning % of over .600. Take the Spiders. Thank you.
02-10-17	Akron -1.5 v. Eastern Michigan		87-76	Win	100	7 h 43 m	Show
Take Akron. This is my Dominator. Game 885. 4:00 pm pst. Riding a 13-1 SU streak, the Akron Zips have compiled an overall, 20-4 mark. They need to keep winning to keep the MAC EAST leader's (10-1 in Conference play) Big Dance at-large hopes alive. They have taken the L3 in this series SU, including a 70-63 win and cover back on January 20th. EMU is fading fast, losing 5 of their L6 SU, and 6 of their L7 ATS. The matchup here heavily favors the Zips as their mighty big men, Center, Isaiah Johnson and Forward, Kwan Cheatham jr. (28.3 PPG and 15.1 RPG combined) will overpower an Eagles squad that does not possess anyone to contend with them down low. EMU is 1-6 ATS their L7 games played vs. MAC foes, 0-4 ATS their L4 games played at home, and 6-15 ATS their L21 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take Akron. Thank you.

Take Purdue. This is my Crusher. Game 713. 4:00 The 16th ranked, Purdue Boilermakers are playing some great basketball. On the season, they sport a 19-5 record, including an 8-3 mark in the Conference play. Not only that, but they are getting followers paid, covering 5 of their L6. 6'9", 250 lb. Caleb Swanigan, 7'2" 290 lb Isaac Hayes, and 6'8" 225 lb. Vince Edwards will dominate the front court in this matchup. The entire starting-5 of the Boilermakers average DD's. The Indiana Hoosiers are thinned by injuries, dropping 3 of their L4 SU and just don't match up well in this contest. Purdue is 4-0 ATS their L4 games played in the series, 4-1-1 ATS their L6 games played vs. Big Ten opponents, and 4-1-1ATS their L6 games played a overall. Take the Boilermakers. Thank you.

Take Cal. This is my Inside Edge. Game 579. 8:00 pm pst. Cal has one 4 in a row and 7 of their L8 SU while Arizona State is just 2-6 their L8 SU. Despite an offense that scores is 81.2 PPG, the Sun Devils are just 11-13 overall and 4-7 in Conference play. Why? Their defense is one of the worst in the country, allowing 82.5 PPG on 47.9% shooting. The Golden Bears own a ferocious and frustrating "D" that ranks 17th in both PPG (63.1) and F% (39.4%). The Road Team is 20-9 ATS the L29 games played in the series. Cal is 11-4 ATS their L15 games played at Arizona State. Arizona State is 1-5 ATS their L6 as a home underdog. Take the Golden Bears. Thank you.

Take Maryland. This is my Lay Up play. Game 731. 4:00 pm pst. Maryland had a 7-game win and cover streak come to a halt in Saturday's, tough,1-point loss to Purdue. The Terrapins blew a 12-point 2nd half lead in that defeat, which will motivate them here as they face a very pedestrian, Penn State squad. UM is a perfect, 6-0 SU and 8-0-1 ATS away from home this season. The Nittany Lions enter today's contest riding a 1-5 SU and ATS run.

02-05-17	Patriots v. Falcons UNDER 59	Top	34-28	Loss	-130	25 h 49 m	Show
Take the UNDER. Games101/102 3:30 pm pst Yes, Atlanta certainly deserves their status of the #1 offense in the NFL, averaging over 33.8 PPG, 3rd in passing, 5th in rushing, and it is all due to a very well-balanced, well-coach unit. All the media hype surrounding the powerful Atlanta offense, along with the fact that New England's "O", ranks 3rd and scoring, averaging 27.6 PPG, 4th in passing, and 7th in rushing. And it is because of these two explosive offenses that the oddsmakers have put out the highest TOTAL in post-season history. Yes, technically, the Patriots did have the 32nd ranked, or the softest schedule in the NFL, however you just can't take away from the fact that their stop-unit only allowed 15.6 PPG at this level. They're extremely solid on the DL, a very quick LB corps, and a savvy veteran secondary. No matter what Ryan, Freeman, and Jones will move the chains and put a few points on the board. On the flipside, the Falcons defense certainly progressed over the season and specifically during the second half of the campaign, seemed to get better with each passing game. On paper, at first glance, this does look like a game that could will go over the Total, however there's more than a few reasons why it won't. Both coaching staff's come in well-prepared with a regimented game plan, and what these 2 HC's do very well, is make quick adjustments like no other coaches in the game. Another stat which really solidifies to me why this game will go UNDER to the Total... both Atlanta and New England were tied for fewest turnovers in the NFL, they each had just 11 TO's. These 2 well-disciplined teams don't make mistakes. Not mental mistakes while either take unnecessary, chancy risks . They both have several outstanding ball-carriers to keep the clock running and the opposing "D" honest. To be quite clear, I see a more conservative game than just about everybody is expecting. Now, on one side, we have the most-explosive offense we've seen over the last few seasons, and on the other side, we have the most-experienced post-season squad chock-full of veterans in the current era. Dan Quinn is been in the Title game several times of the last few years and yes, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have won 24 playoff games, easily more than any other HC/QB in history. I don't see these coaches or these QB's taking too many unslated chances. Remember that both teams have amazing PK's (ranked 1st & 3rd in the NFL). Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take Kentucky. This is my OM play. Game 663. 5:15 pm pst Kentucky avoided their first three-game losing streak in the John Calipari era. This is still a monster team with the coach that knows he has to keep his foot on the gas in this matchup. The Wildcats have owned the Gators, beating them the last five meetings and covering the last four. Florida does play good defense, however Kentucky is loaded with play makers and scorers that hit nearly 50% from the floor. There's no way Kentucky getting 2 1/2 points isn't the winner today.

Brooklyn is just 1-14 SU their L15, covering only 4 of those contests. Cleveland has decimated Brooklyn the L2 played at home and this game should be no different and allow the Cavs to get back on track. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

They have lost 4 of their L6 games SU and ATS, including 2 embarrassing losses to the Razorbacks (82-72) has a 2 1/2 point favorite and to the Rebels (80-69) also as a 2 1/2 point favorite.

The Zips have taken the L5 over the Broncos, who are just 2-4 in Conference play. Western Michigan does play strong at home but doesn't match up well on either end of the court here. Their only weapons are Guards, Wilder and Haymond, but Akron rotates 4 major Guards, all extremely talented and with the "changing of the guards," will wear down the Broncos back court with fresher legs. The real mismatch in this contest is in the front court, where Akron's Center, Johnson and Forward, Cheatham jr. (26.6 points per game and 14.7 rebounds per game combined with a total of 33 blocks and a whopping 103 assists) will go on contested in the key. The Road Team is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in the series. Take Akron. Thank you.
01-22-17	Steelers v. Patriots -6	Top	17-36	Win	100	7 h 5 m	Show
Take New England. This is my AFC Game of the Year. Game 314. 3:40 pm pst. Tom Brady has had amazing success against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just over the last six meetings in this series, the future Hall of Fame quarterback has tallied 19 touchdown passes and zero interceptions. Over his career, Brady has faced the Steelers 11 times, boasting a 9-2 record and accumulating a whopping, 26 touchdown passes against just three interceptions. Yes, Pittsburgh has won 9 straight, but ask yourself who did they win against? And if you look at their schedule, they haven't had to face a team of the caliber they're going to face today. Over the season, their offense had problems in the red zone. In the beginning, their quarterback was injured, running back was injured, some receivers were injured, and both their offensive and defensive lines were missing some players. Then as the season progressed, they became healthy and returned, but yet, they were still having problems punching it in for touchdowns in the red zone so the talk was they were rusty. But now they're all healthy and they are still having trouble in the red zone settling for field goals instead of touchdowns, as you saw last week against Kansas City, when they accounted for 18 points on six field goals and zero touchdowns. New England has the number one defense in the NFL (15.6 points per game allowed), and they've yielded 17 points or less in seven of their last eight contests. On both sides of the football the Patriots are way too speedy in this matchup. HC, Bill Belichik, along with DC, Matt Patricia got together with the rest of the defensive coaches and trust me, they are going to change up schemes, and change players and confuse the Steelers offense, particularly the OL, and force mistakes. By far, New England possesses the much better coach both as far as preparation goes and on the field. The Pittsburgh defense is not the same as it was a few years ago, although it did improve this year but please remember they are starting three rookies that must go on up against a great offensive unit that now possesses a healthy and solid offensive line that will allow the speedy running back, Louis and also the veteran, Blount to keep the Pittsburgh defense honest and open up Tom Terrific and the passing game. Ben Roethlisberger threw some unnecessary passes and made some risky decisions last week against a less than stellar Kansas City defense. He will not be able to get away with that today against the New England stop unit. Let's face it, the Steelers really haven't faced a defense like the one they will face today since probably the last meeting back in October. There is no way they could keep a score for score here. Pittsburgh is 4-11 against the spread their last 15 games played versus New England and 1-3-2 against the spread their last six road playoff games. New England is 5-0 against the spread their last five games played against AFC opponents, 4-1 against the spread the last five playoff games, and 25-9-2 against the spread their last 36 games played at home. Take the Patriots. Thank you.

Take OVER in the PACKERS/FALCONS matchup. This is my NFL TOTAL OF THE YEAR. Game 311/312. 12:05 pm pst. In the October 30th meeting, Atlanta edged out Green Bay, 33-32. It's nearly 3 months later and another shoot-out is in the cards. Green Bay has won eight in a row straight up (7-1 against the spread), posting 30 or more points over their last six, with each going OVER the Total. Overall, the Packers played to 12 OVERS of their 18 contests, including seven of nine road games. Aaron Rogers is playing some of his best football in years, leading the seventh ranked passing unit. Atlanta owns the 28th ranked defense against the pass and is ranked 27th in the league in points allowed. Offensively, the Falcons topped the NFL in scoring, averaging over 33.8 points per game. Their well-balanced offense is ranked third in passing and fifth in rushing. On the season, Atlanta has played to14 OVERS, against just 2 unders, and 1 push. Oh by the way, all nine of their home games went OVER the Total. They are going to face a Packers defense that ranks 31st against the pass. The OVER is 6-0 in the Packers last six games played versus NFC opponents, the OVER is also 4-1 in the Packers last five playoff games, while looking at the Falcons statistics, the OVER is 11-1-1 in the Falcons last 13 games played against NFC opponents, and the OVER is also 11-0 in the Falcons last 11 games played on field turf.

They must try to slow down 4 DD scorers, 7 players that average 4.1 or more RPG, and do what no opponent has done yet, stop Shavar Newkirk (20.2 PPG). The Quakers are 3-8 ATS the L11 meetings in this series, 2-6 ATS their L8 games played vs. ATL 10 foes, and 0-4 ATS their L4 games played overall. Take the Hawks. Thank you

Florida State is 13-0 SU at home, 8-3 ATS, and outscoring guests by an average of 20.0 PPG. After ending their 12-game win streak to the Tar Heels, the Seminoles bounced back to take down the Irish. However, that win made 2 consecutive games where FSU did not cover. They have not gone 3 in a row since last February. Dwayne Bacon (15.8 PPG & 5.8 RPG) leads a 4-Guard set that will make it impossible for Louisville to defend. The Cardinals are 4-11 ATS their L15 games played on the road and 2-6 ATS their L8 games played as an underdog.

As a matter of fact, they have taken 9 of their L10 SU, are 3-0 SU in true road games, and own a 5-0-1 ATS mark away from home. Iowa comes off an embarrassing, 89-54 road loss at Northwestern that will stay with them and despite scoring 81.5 PPG, they are allowing a whopping, 78.0 PPG. Maryland plays a swarming defense, yielding a mere, 65.1 PPG. Offensively, the Terps have 4 DD scorers, including both starting Guards, Trimble (17.2 PPG) and Cowan (11.1 PPG) to match up with the Hawkeyes leading-scorer, Jok.

Take Vandy. This is my SEC GOW. Game 656. 5:30 pm pst. Vandy lost their last two games to powerhouse's, Alabama and Kentucky, covering both to extend their cover streak to five consecutive games. Tennessee has lost and failed to cover their last five and are very shorthanded here. The Commodores are 4-0 against the spread their last four games played versus SEC opponents while the Volunteers are 1-4 ATS their L5 against the spread vs. SEC opponents. Take Vanderbilt. Thank you.
01-14-17	Seahawks +6 v. Falcons		20-36	Loss	-102	6 h 55 m	Show
Take Seattle. This is my LVSM. Game 301. 1:35 pm pst. For starters, quarterback, Matt Ryan is 1-4 in his career in the playoffs. In the first match up between these teams. earlier this season, running back, Freeman had his league worst 40 yards rushing. The Atlanta Falcons offense is very good, however they haven't played very many top-tier defenses. They also own a defense that is ranked 25th in yards allowed, 28th versus the pass, and 27th in points allowed. Let's face it, Seattle can play defense. And they have faced some of the league's most elite offensive units. Offensively, the Seahawks have posted 31, 31, 26, 5, 40, 10, 24, 31, 25, and 26, over consecutive games. Take the points with a very healthy Seattle Seahawks. Thank you.
01-14-17	VCU -1.5 v. Davidson		63-69	Loss	-101	4 h 33 m	Show
Take VCU. This is my A-10 GOW. Game 547. 11:00 am pst. Virginia Commonwealth has won 8 straight as their tandem of forwards, Tillman and Alie-Cox (21.4 points per game and 9.9 rebounds per game combined) just might be the best pair in the nation. The Rams have taken the last four meetings in the series, going 3-1 against the spread and own both a 4-0 mark on the road and in conference play that this season. Davidson hasn't covered a single game since the first week of December and despite hitting 9.5 triples per game, they are just 33.7% from three point land. The Wildcats are 1-7 ATS their L8 as a home 'dog and 0-5 AYS their L5 vs. A-10 foes The Rams are 16-5 ATS their L21 on the road and 21-7 ATS their L28 vs. A-10 opponents. Take Virginia Commonwealth. Thank you.
01-11-17	Fresno State -2 v. Air Force		72-81	Loss	-110	11 h 47 m	Show
Take Fresno State. This is my Crash The Boards winner. Game 767. 6:00 pm pst. Fresno State had a pair of 1-point victories last season over Air Force to give the team 7 consecutive wins over their Mountain West rivals. While the Falcons have dropped 8 of their L10 SU, coming into this matchup. The Bulldogs have extra motivation here, coming off a tough loss to the Spartans as a 3.5 point favorite, which ended their ATS cover streak at 9 straight games. The return of Forward and leading-scorer, Karachi Edo (14.0 PPG & 7.6 RPG) will knot this contest over the defensively-challenged (73.6 PPG allowed), Air Force squad. Fresno State is 5-0 ATS their L5 games played following an ATS loss, 6-1 ATS their L7 games played on the road, 13-3 ATS their L16 games played vs. MWC opponents, and 20-6 ATS their L26 games played overall. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.
01-11-17	St Bonaventure +4 v. Richmond		61-78	Loss	-110	9 h 35 m	Show
Take St. Bonaventure. This is my Above The Rim play. Game 731. 4:00 pm pst. St. Bonaventure is 10-5 SU, including a 2-0 SU road mark, and owns an overall away ATS record of 5-2, while Richmond has crushed bettors at home, sporting an 0-4-1 ATS record as host. Offensively, the Bonnies rank 19th, averaging over 84.2 PPG. this team plays a physical style which gives them a huge edge as they average nearly 10% better from the line than the Spiders. They also own a huge mismatch on the boards. St. Bonaventure is 6-1 ATS their L7 on the road and 6-0 ATS their L7 as a 'dog. Take the Bonnies. Thank you.
01-10-17	Florida v. Alabama +5.5		80-67	Loss	-105	10 h 10 m	Show
Take Alabama. This is my BEST BET play. Game 554. 6:00 pm pst. Alabama owns a swarming and frustrating defense that ranks 13th nationally, yielding just 61.1 PPG while possessing a rebounding squad that is a force on both sides of the court. These two teams play each other tough but giving the Tide 5 plus points at home against a Gators team that is 1-4 ATS their L5 road games is a mistake. Take Alabama. Thank you.
01-09-17	Clemson v. Alabama -6	Top	35-31	Loss	-115	36 h 52 m	Show
Take Alabama. Game of the Year. Game 152. 5:00 pm pst. Last year's National Championship was settled by 5 points. The best college football coach in the country, Nick Saban will take no chances here to ensure the teams 5th Title in 10 years. Alabama has played a much higher quality of opponent. Their defense ranks #1 nationally in points allowed (11.4 PPG) and #1 against the run (62.4 YPG on the ground). Clemson will not be able to run the ball which will allow the big, stout, Tide defense to get to QB, Watson. The Tigers gave up a ton of points to Troy, Louisville, Florida State, Pittsburgh, and Virginia Tech. I can see The Cards and Seminoles but the other teams are really no threat, offensively. Not to mention, Clemson just hasn't played a team of this caliber this year and will come in over-confident. Take Alabama. Thank you.
01-08-17	Wichita State -10 v. Northern Iowa		80-66	Win	100	8 h 45 m	Show
Take Wichita State. This is my TEN DIMES PLAY. Game 531. 1:00 pm pst. Revenge is a dish best served cold! Last season, Northern Iowa had their way with Wichita State, winning and covering both meetings. Well, alot has changed since last season. The Panthers lost 3 DD scorers, including their star, who ran the offense. At 5-9, UNI is in trouble trying to fill in the voids. They rank 335th in scoring, accounting for a mere, 63.8 PPG and possess a horrible rebounding corps on both sides of the court. Wichita State is 13-3 overall, 3-0 in Conference play, and rank 29th offensively (83.4 PPG) and 28th defensively (63.6 PPG) and own a Top-20 squad on both the offensive and defensive boards. The Shockers are 51-25 ATS their L76 as a road fav and 43-20-1 ATS their L64 vs. MVC opponents. Take Wichita State. Thank you.
01-08-17	Dolphins v. Steelers -12		12-30	Win	100	5 h 58 m	Show
Take Pittsburgh. This is my LVSM. Game 106. 10:05 am pst. Tannehill is out and Moore is in. That's not the only difference from the earlier meeting, back in October. Pittsburgh has rattled off 7 straight victories, going 6-1 ATS and have rested their "Big 3", in Roethlisberger, Bell, and Brown. Miami is banged up defensively, losing their best LB and CB. Even before losing their best CB< the Dolphins had no one to cover star wideout, Antonio Brown, who will light up the scoreboard today. The Steelers "D" will get to Moore and force mistakes. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.
01-07-17	Lions v. Seahawks -8		6-26	Win	100	13 h 39 m	Show
Take Seattle. This is my LVSM. Game 104. 5:15 pm pst. Don't put too much stock in Seattle's late-season losses to Green Bay and Arizona as well as their 3-pt squeaker over San Francisco in their final regular season game. This team has a tough defense that will get o Detroit QB, Matthew Stafford. The Lions had trouble with elusive QB's this season, resulting in 3 season-ending losses to Eli Manning, Dak Prescott, and Aaron Rodgers (losing all 3 by a combined 39 points) and in comes a healthy, Russell Wilson. The Seahawks have won 9 straight home Playoff games in the loudest stadium in the nation. HC, Pete Carroll and company have the post-season experience to not just win here, but cover. Take Seattle. Thank you.
01-07-17	Charlotte v. Marshall -12.5		93-110	Win	100	8 h 49 m	Show
Take Marshall. This is my Blowout play. Game 826. 4:00 pm pst. Marshall is a prefect, 8-0 SU at home (5-0 ATS), 3-0 in League play, and are an overall, 10-3 ATS on the season. Charlotte comes in here dropping 5 of their L6 SU, going 2-5 ATS their L7, and is 0-4 as a DD 'dog this year. Too much disparity in talent here. Take Marshall to crush. Thank you.
01-07-17	Fresno State -2 v. San Jose State	Top	62-69	Loss	-110	6 h 57 m	Show
Take Fresno State. This is my MWC GOM. Game 801. 2:00 pm pst. Fresno State comes into this matchup covering 9 straight contests and is a perfect, 6-0 ATS on the road this season. The Bulldogs trio of Guards, Watson, Taylor, and Hopkins are combining for 39.5 PPG and will penetrate the paint here while big men, Forwards, Edo and Russo (22.4 PPG combined) are teaming up for over 13.6 RPG and will dominate the glass against this SJ State team that has been doormat in the key (overall, yielding 77.1 PPG their L6). The Bulldogs shoot a "lights-out" 47.9% from the floor and play very solid "D." FSU is 10-1 ATS their L11 games played on the road, 14-3 ATS their L17 games played vs. MWC foes, and 21-6 ATS their L27 overall games played. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.
01-07-17	Raiders +4 v. Texans		14-27	Loss	-110	9 h 10 m	Show
Take Oakland. This is my Inside Info play. Game 101. 1:35 pm pst. Both teams are down to backup QB's but the Raiders have a much better supporting cast on offense in this matchup and Texans play-caller, Brock Osweiler (15 TD's and 16 INT's) makes way too many mistakes. I know Houston has had success at home TY, but Oakland is 6-2 SU and ATS on the road in 2016/2017 with one of those losses coming LW, when the team pulled their starters and didn't need the game. Khalil Mack is the best pass-rusher on the field and will get to Osweiler and create TO's. The Raiders are 4-0 ATS their L4 games played following a SU loss, 9-2 ATS their L9 games played on the road, and 6-2 ATS their L8 games played vs. AFC foes. The Texans are 1-6 ATS their L7 games played overall. 1-5 ATS their L6 games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-5 ATS their L6 vs. AFC opponents. Take Oakland. Thank you.
01-06-17	Detroit v. Illinois-Chicago -7.5		64-78	Win	100	11 h 3 m	Show
Take UIC. This is my Horizon League GOW. Game 520. 5:00 pm pst. UIC needs a big win here to avoid an 0-3 start in League play, especially with top-tier, Oakland on deck. And, yes, they did lose Forward, Dikembe Dixson for the season (ACL). But the Flames have more than enough firepower to burn the Conferences worst team, Detroit. The Titans are 2-12 overall, including an 0-7 road record, where they are being outscored by an average of 17.9 PPG. UIC can score at will here against one of the worst defenses in the nation (allowing 74.6 PPG). The Titans are 0-6 ATS their L6 vs. Horizon League opponents, 2-6-1 ATS their L9 games played on the road, and 4-11-1 ATS their al16 games played overall. The Flames are 7-3-1 ATS their L11 games vs. Horizon League opponents, 8-3 ATS their L11 games played at home, and 13-6-1 ATS their L20 games played overall. Take UIC. Thank you.
01-06-17	Rockets -5.5 v. Magic		100-93	Win	100	11 h 37 m	Show
Take Houston. This is my No Limit. Game 503. 4:05 pm pst. Orlando has a lot of problems defensively, yielding 111.2 PPG over their L16 outings. Well, here comes James Harden and the 2nd ranked scoring offense in the NBA (114.6 PPG). The Magic are no threat offensively, as they account for just 99.2 PPG, on 44% shooting, and will have trouble on both the offensive and defensive boards here as the Rockets are a top-10 team on both glass. Houston is 11-3 ATS their L14 games played on the road while Orlando is 4-12-1 ATS their L17 home games. Take the Rockets. thank you.
01-05-17	Loyola Marymount -2.5 v. Pepperdine		70-71	Loss	-102	10 h 12 m	Show
Take Loyola Marymount. This is my PH play. Game 769. 7:00 pm pst. Both meetings went to OT last season with LMU covering both. But, this season, the Lions are clearly a better team than the Waves, as the back court of Brown and Tuach (25.2 PPG & 8.7 RPG combined) compliment transfer Center, Jovanovic (11.2 PPG & 5.3 RPG). Pepperdine has been atrocious on the boards and ranks 323rd on defense, getting smoked for 80.5 PPG. LMU is 4-1-1 ATS their L6 games played vs. WCC foes, 8-2 ATS their L10 games played as a road fav, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. Pepperdine is 0-5 ATS their L5 games played vs. WCC foes, 1-7 ATS their L8 games played as a 'dog, and 5-16 ATS their L21 games played overall. Take the Lions. Thank you.

Take OKC. This is my Slam Dunk. Game 503. 4:05 pm pst. Russell Westbrook is averaging a triple-double while only ranking 19th in minutes per game. His back court and at the Center position, where Adams and Kanter are sharing time, have huge disparities over Charlotte here. The Thunder have taken 10 in a row in this series SU, going 9-1 ATS and are 15-5-1 ATS the L21 overall meetings. Take OKC. Thank you.
01-04-17	Northern Iowa v. Loyola-Chicago -2	Top	66-77	Win	100	7 h 54 m	Show
Take Loyola Chicago. This is my MVC GOM. Game 538. 4:00 pm pst. Last year, when UNI was a good team, they couldn't beat Loyola in two tries. This season, the Panthers (5-8) are sorely missing 3 DD scorers, including Guard, Wes Waspun, who ran the offense. the Ramblers are a very accurate and disciplined shooting team. UNI is 0-5 ATS their L5 overall. Take Loyola Chicago. Thank you.
01-03-17	Pacers +5 v. Pistons		121-116	Win	100	7 h 13 m	Show
Take Indiana. This is my Slam Dunk. Game 705. 4:35 pm pst. Detroit has just 2 wins over their L9 outings. The first was against a Lebron-less Cleveland team and the other was to league-doormat, Miami. Indiana has had trouble on the road TY but they possess 5 DD scorers and are back healthy, which explains their 2-game hot streak over Chicago and Orlando coming into this contests. The Pacers are 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. the NBA Central while the Pistons are 2-7 ATS their L9 vs. Eastern Conference foes.
01-03-17	Ball State +6.5 v. Kent State		90-100	Loss	-110	7 h 32 m	Show
Take Ball State. This is my Fast Break. Game 723. 4:00 pm pst. Ball State is red-hot, winning 5 in a row while Kent State has dropped 2 of their L3, both losses coming as a favorite. The Cards backcourt of Persons and sellers (26.4 PPG and 10.1 RPG combined) along with big men, House and Moses match up well with the "smaller" Golden Flashes squad. Take the points with Ball State. Thank you.

Bowling Green is 6-7 on the campaign, including an 0-5 road mark. The Zips have taken the L10 in this series SU, going 9-1 ATS and possess way too much offense for the Falcons. BG is 0-6 ATS the L6 games played at Akron. Take Akron. Thank you.

Take FSU. Game 265. 5:00 pm pst. Michigan comes into this game having lost two of their final three straight up and going 2-6 against the spread in the second half of the regular season. Yes, Michigan does have the number two ranked defense in the nation, however they've been giving up points. Florida State by far has played the tougher and more difficult schedule and I have to count on both sides of the ball. Take FSU and a big upset. Take FSU. Thank you.
12-28-16	Kansas State +3 v. Texas A&M	Top	33-28	Win	105	7 h 0 m	Show
Take Kansas State. This is my TEN DIMES PLAY. Game 249. 6:00 pm pst. Kansas State has gotten better as the season progressed. In the second half of the campaign, they faced much better teams and finish the regular season at 5-1 straight up, without outright victories over Texas, Baylor, and Texas Christian. Texas A&M lost four of their last six games straight up and haven't covered a game since September, riding an 8-game against the spread slide. The Aggies are mediocre at best, vs. the run, and will get stampeded here by a Wildcats offense that averages 233.4 yards per game on the ground, possessing six ball-carriers that are each averaging 5.0 or more yards per carry and have combined for 36 rushing touchdowns. A&M's defense likes to rush the passer, which did backfire on them a few games back when they faced Mississippi State quarterback, Fitzgerald, who plays very much like Kansas State quarterback, Jesse Ertz. Fitzgerald buried them and so will Ertz today, who also happens to be the teams leading rusher. Kansas State is 4-1 ATS their L5 games when playing host in this series. while Texas A&M is 0-4 ATS their L4 straight meetings in the series. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.
12-28-16	Indiana v. Utah -6		24-26	Loss	-110	7 h 53 m	Show
Take Utah. This is my Late Info Move. Game 248. 5:30 pm pst. To be honest, Utah had a Bowl bid wrapped up and didn't need to put forth an effort in their final two regular-season games. The Utes have a dangerous, well-balanced offense and own a ferocious stop unit (allowing just 23.9 points per game). With victories over BYU, USC, Arizona, Oregon State, UCLA, and Arizona State, their 4 losses what are some solid teams, in California, Washington, Oregon, and Colorado and those losses came by a total of 19 points. With distractions, and allegations about off the field abuse, Head Coach Kevin Wilson resigned abruptly, leaving the reins in the hands of DC, Tom Alan. Indiana's starting quarterback, Richard Lagow has almost as many interceptions (16) as he has touchdowns (18). He rattles very, very easily and the Utes defense are going to go after him all day long. Utah is 6-0 against the spread their L6 games vs. Big Ten opponents and 5-2 against spread their L6 Bowl games. Indiana is 0-4 against the spread their L4 games played on neutral sites and 2-5 against the spread their L7 games played overall. Take Utah. Thank you.
12-28-16	Northwestern +4.5 v. Pittsburgh		31-24	Win	100	1 h 22 m	Show
Take NW. This is my Consensus play of the Month. Game 243. 11:00 am pst. Pittsburgh has been overvalued since catching Clemson at the right time (the Tigers happened to be exhausted, banged up, and were the victim of some truly bad coaching decisions). Northwestern beat Iowa, Michigan State, and Indiana while playing tough against Nebraska, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. The Panthers are a running team but the Wildcats defense ranks 31st against the run, allowing just 136.7 yards per game on the ground while the entire unit only yields just 22.1 points per game. The team also possesses one of the finest quarterback/wide receiver connections in the nation in quarterback, Thorson (2968 yards passing and 21 touchdowns with just 8 interceptions) and running back, Jackson (1300 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns). Pittsburgh has had serious trouble with solid pocket passers alone, then put into the equation the ground attack of Jackson and you will see the Panthers defense get trampled here. This is a defense that allows a whopping, 35.6 points per game. Pittsburgh is 1-4 against the spread their L5 Bowl games and 1-4 against the spread their L5 games vs. Big Ten opponents. Northwestern is 6-2 against the spread their L8 games played overall and 5-0 against the spread their L5 games vs. ACC opponents. Take Northwestern. Thank you.
12-27-16	Rockets -6.5 v. Mavs		123-107	Win	100	8 h 3 m	Show
Take Houston. This is my No Limit. Game 505. 5:35 PM pst. Houston owns Dallas with a perfect, 3-0 SU (2-1 ATS) record over their state-rivals in 2016 and tonight's matchup still favors the Rockets who rank 5th from beyond the arc, taking more "3's" than any other team in the NBA, and they get to face the dead-last, 30th ranked 3-pt defense of the Mavericks (allowing 40.1%). Houston held Dallas to a mere, 92.3 PPG in the 3 earlier meetings. The Rockets own the Mavs, going 13-4 SU and 11-6 ATS the L17 meetings. They are also 6-1 ATS their L7 games played on 0 days rest, 14-4 ATS their L18 games played vs. Western Conference foes, 10-3 ATS their L13 games played on the road, and 16-7 ATS their L23 games played overall. Take Houston. Thank you.
12-27-16	Thunder -4 v. Heat		106-94	Win	100	7 h 18 m	Show
Take Oklahoma City. This is my Game of the Month. Game 503. 4:35 pm pst. In the first meeting on November 7th, the Heat held Russell Westbrook to a very "off night" of just 14 points, however, the Thunder still won, 97-85. That doesn't bode well for Miami now as Westbrook has been a League standout, averaging 31.7 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 10.9 APG, 1.3 SPG, a FT% over .824, and hitting .337 from downtown. The Heat back court is banged-up already, so Russell crushes them here. The Miami offense ranks 25th or worse in just about every major category and facing a Top-5 (on both sides of the court) rebounding team is going to fatal for the Heat tonight. And if they try to get physical, remember that the Heat are just 66.1% from the line. The Thunder are 4-1 both SU and ATS the L5 meetings in this series and 8-3 ATS their L11 games played vs. NBA South East foes. The Heat are 2-6 ATS their L8 games played vs. the NBA North West. Take Oklahoma City. Thank you.
12-27-16	Washington State -9 v. Minnesota		12-17	Loss	-110	8 h 55 m	Show
Take Washington State. This is my Platinum Play. Game 239. 4:00 pm pst. On paper, the numbers give Minnesota a slight edge here due to a 10-point spread. However, this week, the Golden Gophers team took a major blow with 10 suspensions, including their 2 starting DB's in Safety, Winfield (52 tackles and 1 INT) and CB, KIAnte Hardin (39 tackles and 2 INT's) along with their 2 best backups, Shenault and Buford. Even at full force, the Gophers would be having a ton of trouble trying to slow down the nations 2nd ranked passing attack (370.8 YPG in the air) behind QB, Luke Falk (71.0% CR, 4204 YP, 37 TD's). Falk also has the luxury of having 3 talented ball-carriers in Williams, Morrow, and Wicks (1584 YR and 22 TD's combined). KEY FACTOR, the GG's have not faced a single opponent with a passing assault even close to the Cougars, not one. The Golden Gophers are 2-5 ATS their L7 non-Conference games and 1-5 ATS their L6 vs. PAC 12 foes. The Cougars are 6-1 ATS their L7 games following a SU loss and 9-3 ATS their l12 games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take Washington State. Thank you.
12-27-16	Army -10.5 v. North Texas		38-31	Loss	-110	1 h 15 m	Show
Take Army. This is my VIP play. Game 235. 9:00 am pst. It's very tough to beat a team twice in the same season, especially when you are a substantial underdog. UNT beat Army, 35-18 back in November, a game in which, QB, Ahmad Bradshaw threw an uncharacteristic, 4 INT's. Army, who is the #2 ranked rushing team in the nation racked up 396 yards on the ground that night and will surpass that here tonight as UNT owns the 105th defense vs. the run. The Black Nights also own the 5th ranked "D" vs. the pass and the 20th vs. the run, only allowing 18.9 PPG. The Mean Green is 1-4 both SU and ATS their L5 games, allowing over 35.2 PPG (32.2 PPG pverall). Revenge is a dish best served cold and the Black Knights will serve it up well here. They are 6-1 ATS their L7 games played in December, 4-1 ATS their L5 games played on neutral sites, and 9-4-1 ATS their L14 games played vs. CUSA teams. Take Army. Thank you.
12-26-16	Maryland v. Boston College UNDER 43.5	Top	30-36	Loss	-110	54 h 24 m	Show
Take UNDER in the MARY/BC matchup. This is my Bowl Total of the Year. Games 231/232. 11:30 am pst. Both teams know each other quite well, having played one another 8 times between 06’-13’. Maryland found success running the ball (110th passing) this season but will have trouble here against the 8th ranked rush defense of Boston College while the Eagles averaged less than 150 YPG both on the ground and in the air, offensively. The Terrapins accounted for just 25.4 PPG and the Eagles a mere, 19.1 PPG. As a matter of fact, 16 of the combined 24 games played by these two teams this season went UNDER the Total. And so does this one. Take the UNDER.

The Lakers are 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home, 1-8 ATS their L9 games played on 1 days rest, and 3-10 ATS their L13 games played overall. Take The Clippers. Thank you.
12-25-16	Warriors v. Cavs +3.5		108-109	Win	100	29 h 30 m	Show
Take Cleveland. Game 504. 11:35 am pst. Cleveland got standout Forward, Kevin Love back from injury, and now are too much on the boards and down low in this matchup for a Golden State team that they out-muscled in LY's Finals. The Warriors are minus Barnes and Bogut form that squad but did add Durant. However, King James and company have been waiting for this matchup since the schedule was made. Giving the Cavs points at home, on Christmas Day is a mistake. The Warriors are 1-5 ATS their L6 games played on the road while the Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS their L6 games played at home. Take Cleveland. Thank you.
12-24-16	Vikings v. Packers -6.5		25-38	Win	100	5 h 12 m	Show
Take Green Bay. This is my LVSM. Game 112. 10:00 am pst. This is not the same Green Bay team that lost to Minnesota, 17-14, in mid-September. The Vikings were amidst a 5-0 record to start the season back then and now have lost 7 of 9, both SU and ATS. To make matters worse, yesterdays news that AP is out once again. The Packers have won 4 in a row SU and won't take this game lightly after seeing a 17-point lead eclipsed until a last-second FG to beat the Bears LW. The Vikes allowed Andrew Luck and the Colts to light them up for 34 points a week ago and now must face a striding packers team that is led by one of the NFL's most-experienced, crunch-time QB's, Aaron Rodgers. Minny is 2-5 ATS the L7 games played at the Packers and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played on the road. Take Green Bay. Thank you.
12-24-16	Titans -5 v. Jaguars	Top	17-38	Loss	-105	5 h 7 m	Show
Take Tennessee. This is my HR. Game 115. 10:00 am pst. Very simply, Tennessee has quietly become a solid, 8-6 team behind a maturing, Marcus Mariota and the NFL’s 3rd ranked ground attack of DeMarco Murray. The Titans need to win out to host a playoff game and facing a Jaguars team that is 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS at home, riding an overall 9-game skid, and ranking towards the bottom of the League both offensively and defensively will get them one step closer. Take the Titans. Thank you.
12-23-16	Wizards +3.5 v. Bucks		96-123	Loss	-107	10 h 26 m	Show
Take Washington. This is my PPP. Game 711. 5:05 pm pst. Since changing schemes, Washington has been surging, winning 6 of their L8 SU, and 7 of 8 ATS. Wall and Beal are healthy and will devour a Milwaukee squad that has dropped 5 of their L7 SU and ATS. The Wizards took 4 of the L5 in this series SU, including this seasons only meeting. Take Washington. Thank you.
12-23-16	Louisiana Tech -7 v. Navy		48-45	Loss	-110	7 h 59 m	Show
Take L Tech. Game 223. 1:30 pm pst. Without their starting QB and RB, Navy survived. But now, without their 2nd string QB and RB, the offense has put up just 27 total points the L2 games, against average defenses. Soph QB, Zach Abey (4 INT's in his 2 appearances) is in trouble here. The Midshipmen can not pass the ball and have to face the 31st ranked rush "D" of the Bulldogs in this matchup. Offensively, L tech ranks 3rd in Yards Passing and 5th in Scoring (44.0 PPG) behind QB, Ryan Higgins (4208 YP, 65.8% CR, and a 37/8 TD/INT ratio) and RB, Jarred Craft (1011 YR and 9 TD's). Navy is 0-4 ATS their L4 games vs. teams with a winning record while L Tech is 4-0 ATS their L4 Bowl games. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.
12-23-16	Auburn +4.5 v. Connecticut		70-67	Win	100	5 h 34 m	Show
Take Auburn. This is my ESPN winner. Game 731. 11:30 am pst. On paper and in depth, Auburn wins this game. Connecticut, who is decimated by injuries, is 0-3 ATS as a favorite this season while Auburn is 9-2 SU, 6-3 ATS, and have already taken down such notables as TTU, UAB, and Oklahoma. The Huskies can not defend the Tigers here. Take Auburn. Thank you.
12-23-16	Eastern Michigan v. Old Dominion -6		20-24	Loss	-101	4 h 34 m	Show
Take ODU. Game 222. 10:00 am pst. At 9-3 SU, 7-1 in Conference play, and 8-3-1 ATS, ODU is a monster team, who is riding a 5-game (SU & ATS) hot streak. EMU has some issues at the RB position and a defense that allows over 30.3 PPG, particularly weak against the pass, where they rank 111th. The Monarchs are well-balanced on both sides of the ball. The big edge here is that QB, David Washington and RB's, Ray Lawry and Jeremy Cox will explode here. Take ODU. Thank you.
12-22-16	Spurs v. Clippers		101-106	Loss	-110	14 h 40 m	Show
Take San Antonio. This is my Fast Break. Game 509. 7:35 pm pst. Los Angeles shellacked San Antonio, 116-92, back in the beginning of November. This sets up a perfect revenge mode for the Spurs, who are the NBA's best road team at 15-1 SU (10-5-1 ATS). The Clippers are without Blake Griffen (knee surgery) which gives Spurs Forward, Kawhi Leonard a huge mismatch here tonight. San Antonio will also take advantage of the 20th ranked 3-pt defense of Los Angeles, as they own the #2 shooting 3-point squad in the League. The Clippers are 1-5 ATS their L6 games played on 1 days rest, 0-5 ATS their L5 games played following a SU win, and 1-4 ATS their L5 overall. Take the Spurs. Thank you.
