Game 863.

4:00 pm pst.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Valpo got smoked 70-52 last night at the hands of Evansville. Look for the Crusaders, which have more talent and depth to bounce back here and win. The ‘dog is 4-1 ATS L5 meetings in this series. The Purple Aces are 2-6 ATS L8 as a favorite and 3-8 ATS l11 as a home favorite. Take Valparaiso. Thank you.

SSD.

Game 819.

12:30 pm pst.

These two teams met two weeks ago with Marquette prevailing, 73-71. However, St. Johns has covered the last two meetings which were separated by a total of four points. The Red Storm enters this matchup going 4-1 their last five SU and riding a five-game ATS hot streak. While the Golden Eagles do possess the front court, these matchups are usually dominated by the back court. Where the Red Storm certainly has the better talent and depth. This includes the best player on the floor, guard, Julian Champagnie (19.7 PPG/6.8 RPG) Marquette is 1-5 ATS L6 at home, 1-6 ATS L7 as a favorite, and 1-8 ATS L9 overall. Take St. Johns. Thank you.

Pitt.

Game 758.

5:00 pm pst.

Pitt is on a two-game slide. But playing Notre Dame is just what the doctor ordered. AAC Player of the Year candidate, Justin Champagnie and the Pitt Panthers won eight of their last nine SU and went 7-2 ATS before dropping those last two outings. They have covered seven of the last eight meetings with the Irish. Notre Dame is a mess and is outclassed on both ends of the court in this matchup and will be manhandled on the boards badly. They are point spread poison going 2-6 ATS L8 as an underdog, 0-5 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 3-7 ATS L10 overall. Take Pitt. Thank you.

Baylor.

HR.

Game 660.

1:00 pm pst.

Baylor enjoys stepping out of their conference and making an example of reps from other conferences. The Bears account for over 87.5 PPG (6th) and own the nation’s No.1 3-point shooting squad (44.0 %). This doesn’t bode well for a Tigers team that ranks 266th, yielding over 74.3 PPG. Auburn played well the last few weeks. But, none of those opponents are in the same class as Baylor. The back court quartet of Butler, Teague, Mitchell, and Flagler are too potent. The Bears are 7-2 ATS L9 at home, 9-2 ATS L11 following a SU win, and 5-1 ATS L6 overall. Take Baylor. Thank you.

Wichita State.

AAC GOM.

Game 678.

1:00 pm pst.

Put no concern in the fact that the Shockers are playing just their second game in more than two weeks. Wichita State is motivated here, looking for some redemption following their worst loss of the season. Expect them to swarm Central Florida with their stifling defense and shut down the lackluster, Knights “O”. This team is 4-1 ATS L5 as a favorite, 40-15-1 ATS L56 vs. teams with a SU losing record, and 6-1 ATS L7 overall. UCF is 1-6 ATS L7 on the road, 1-5 ATS L6 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 1-5 ATS L6 overall. Take Wichita State. Thank you.

Cal.

Pac-12 Payday.

Game 771.

8:00 pm pst.

Oddsmakers are looking to trap you here. This game should be closer to a basket or so. And despite being the bottom two teams in the conference, a lot separates Cal from ASU. For starters, the Golden Bears own 7-10 SU and 8-8 ATS marks, riding a three-game cover streak. The Sun Devils don a 4-8 SU record and are a dismal, 2-10 ATS this season. While they do score a bot more, they also give up quite a bit more and are absolutely no match for Cal on the boards. ASU is 1-9 ATS L10 at home, 0-7 ATS L7 as a home fav, 4-17 ATS L21 as a fav, and 4-16-1 ATS L21 overall. Take the Golden Bears. Thank you.

Boise State.

HIGH ROLLER.

Game 691.

6:00 pm pst.

The Broncos have rattled off 13 consecutive SU victories and sit atop the Mountain West Conference at 9-0 in league play. Not only do they win SU, but they are a whopping, 10-3 ATS in lined games this season. The Rams are a good team. But there’s a difference between good and great. For starters, Boise State racks up over 81.2 PPG (30th) while allowing just 61.1 PPG (16th). They are monsters on the boards with five stellar rebounders. There’s a big disparity in this matchup on the glass. Colorado State’s two best rebounders are guards. They don’t have the big men to compete here. The Broncos are 6-1 ATS L7 on the road, 20-7-1 ATS L28 as a favorite, and 18-7-1 ATS L26 overall. Take Boise State. Thank you.

Georgia Tech.

BUST YOUR BOOKIE.

Game 641.

6:00 pm pst.

Georgia Tech is playing some solid basketball. They are scoring points with incredible accuracy, shooting 47.4% from the floor and 38.3% beyond the arc. Over the years Duke had had their way with them SU. And yet, The Yellow Jackets have covered the last two meetings in this series. But these are two very different teams this year. The Blue Devils are 5-5 SU and 1-9 ATS this season. To add insult to injury they are also 0-6 ATS L6 at home, 0-5 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 0-5 ATS L5 overall. The Yellow Jackets are 13-5 ATS L18 at home, 5-1 ATS L6 as an underdog, and 4-0 ATS l4 overall. Take Georgia Tech. Thank you.

Arizona.

Game 866.

8:00 pm pst.

Arizona had an 84-82 win over ASU on Thursday. The Sun Devils are a bit banged-up and may be distracted due to coach Bobby Hurley’s actions following the end of last week’s matchup which stirred backlash from the Pac-12, the media, and fans. The Wildcats are far superior on the glass and have quite a bit more depth. ASU is 1-5-1 ATS L7 on the road, 1-8 ATS L9 following a SU loss, and 5-15-1 ATS L21 overall. Take Arizona. Thank you.  

Louisville.

Game 676.

1:00 pm pst.

The Blue Devils are crushing bettors, donning a 1-8 ATS mark this season. They enter this contest dropping their last two SU and their last four against the spread. The Cardinals are sliding as well, also on a two-game skid. But, at 9-3, Louisville has shown some real grittiness. They have the muscle up front and a quartet of guards that rival any back court corps in the nation. Duke is 1-7 ATS L8 on the road and 1-6 ATS L7 following an ATS loss. Take Louisville. Thank you. 

FSU.

High Roller.

Game 656.

12:00 pm pst.

Clemson’s weakness has been exposed. Their last two games, both downright beatings, they were brutalized by 3-point shooting. Now, they go up against the conference’s best 3-point shooting team. FSU hits an astounding 38.6% from beyond the arc. To add insult to injury, the Seminoles are on a three-game heater, both SU and ATS. Their front court of Gray, Koprivica, and Osborne (23.0 PPG, 15.7 RPG combined) have too much muscle. The Home Team is 5-1 ATS L6 meetings in this series. The Tigers are 2-5 ATS L7 on the road and 0-3-1 ATS L4 overall. The Seminoles are 8-3 ATS L11 at home and 11-5 ATS L16 overall. Take Florida State. Thank you.

UCONN.

Big East Blockbuster.

Game 615.

9:00 am pst.

The 11th ranked Blue Jays had a difficult time in the earlier matchup with the 23rd ranked Huskies. And, that was when they were playing well. Creighton is now on a two-game skid, both SU and ATS and have only covered two of their last seven contests. Connecticut has won four of their last five SU and is on a 6-1 ATS run. They are managing just fine since their star, Bouknight went down. The Huskies are 4-0 ATS L4 on the road. The Blue Jays are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take UConn. Thank you.

Michigan.

Game 843.

4:00 pm pst.

I am going to go against the grain here. I know many out there will automatically take the home ‘dog in this Big Ten rivalry. And why not? Purdue is on a four-game win and cover streak over conference opponents, MSU, Indiana, PSU, and OSU. But Michigan is an entirely different monster. The 7th ranked Wolverines are crushing opponents as well as anyone that bets against them. At 12-1 SU and outscoring foes by an average of 14.2 PPG, this team is 10-3 against the number. Following their only loss to Minnesota, Michigan came back to annihilate Maryland, 87-63. They were more focused and trust me, they will not be taking this matchup lightly. They are 5-1 ATS L6 as a road favorite and 6-1 ATS L7 overall. Take the Wolverines. Thank you.

Utah State.

VIM.

Game 778.

8:00 pm pst.

Utah State is rolling, winning 11 in a row and all eight of those lined games ATS. This includes an 83-64 beating over Colorado State on Tuesday. The Aggies dominated the Rams on the glass, 42-23. USU is 9th offensively and 15th defensively in rebounding and will once again own the boards here. Utah State is 5-0 ATS L5 at home, 9-0 ATS L9 as a favorite, and 10-1 ATS L11 overall. Take the Aggies. Thank you.

Pacific.

Consensus.

Game 759.

6:00 pm pst.

Pacific has dominated this series, taking eight of the last 10 meetings SU, including both 2020 meetings. The Tigers, at 5-1 SU are striding behind a top-25 defense. Pepperdine is in over their head here. The Waves two top players, Edwards and Ross are each putting in between 32-38 minutes per game and are truly overworked. This will prove to be fatal tonight. Pacific is 4-1 ATS L5 on the road and 7-3-1 ATS L11 overall. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

Arizona.

PAC-12 GOW.

Game 765.

6:00 pm pst.

The Sun Devils seem to be distracted, resulting in a four-game SU losing streak and even worse, a six-game ATS slide. As a matter of fact, ASU is a pitiful, 1-9 ATS this season. Poor shooting from both inside and outside of the perimeter and the 305th ranked defense has been serious issues. But, on both ends of the court, they own just about the poorest rebounding stats in college basketball (330th “O”, 326th “D”). That doesn’t bode well as Arizona possesses one of the best rebounding corps in the conference. Oh, by the way, they also own one of the most explosive offenses in the nation (80.0 PPG). The Sun Devils are 5-16 ATS L21 at home and 5-16-1 ATS L22 overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Rutgers.

MM.

Game 734.

4:00 pm pst.

This is an ideal opportunity for Rutgers to get back on track and get some confidence against a lesser foe. Their record is skewed as the last four games, all SU losses, were against Iowa, MSU, OSU, and Wisconsin. Penn State just doesn’t match up well here. This is a team that is 0-5 vs. conference foes and owns a league-worst “D”, allowing over 77.0 PPG. The Nittany Lions are 1-6 ATS L7 at home and 4-11 ATS L16 overall. Take the Scarlet Knights. Thank you.

Wichita State.

BB.

Game 739.

4:00 pm pst.

The Shockers are money winning seven of their last eight SU and all six of the lined games ATS. They have been idle for over a week now but I wouldn’t expect any rust here as interim coach, Issac Brown is proving to be a very thorough and a pretty sharp guy. Memphis is point spread poison covering just once since their season-opener. That’s a 1-9 ATS slide. The WSU defense is way to tough for Memphis’s lackluster “O”. Tyson Etienne (17.9 PPG) is the best player on the court here. The Shockers are 19-7-1 ATS L27 on the road. The Tigers are 0-4 ATS L4 at home. Take Wichita State. Thank you.

Clemson.

Best Bet.

Game 673.

4:00 pm pst.

Look for Clemson to bounce back here following their embarrassing loss on Saturday to Virginia that snapped their four-game SU win streak. The Tigers started the season at 5-0 (both SU and ATS) then dropped a nail-biter to the Hokies, then got on the hot streak. This is a team that recuperates and adapts quite well. Georgia Tech is hot too. But the Yellow Jackets are all offense. They can score but their numbers are padded. Outside of an early-December win over Kentucky, all of their big scoring performances were against nobody teams. They must now face the 12-ranked defense in the nation (60.1 PPG allowed). Take Clemson. Thank you.

St. Bonaventure.

BOOKIE BUSTER.

Game 670.

3:00 pm pst.

The very healthy Bonnies are red-hot, winning and covering four straight. VCU, on the other hand, is ice-cold against the spread, crushing bettors, dropping their last three against the number. The aggressive 21st-ranked St. Bonny defense (61.6 PPG allowed) is going to frustrate VCU, which only possesses two double-digit scorers. The Bonnies starting-five are all flirting with or averaging DD’s. Look for their stellar back court quartet of Holmes, Lofton, Adaway, and Osunniyi to slow down the pace and play their game. The favorite is 4-0 ATS L4 meetings in this series. The Rams are 3-7 ATS L10 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600 and 3-7 ATS L10 as a road underdog. The Bonnies are 11-4-1 ATS L16 at home and 20-6-1 ATS L27 as a home favorite. Take St. Bonaventure. Thank you.

Mississippi State.

VEGAS INSIDER MOVE.

Game 644.

6:00 pm pst.

Mississippi State is playing very well. After opening the season with two poor outings, the Bulldogs have now rattled off nine SU wins over their last 12 contests. Tolu Smith is a superstar in the making. The forward leads the SEC with five double-doubles this season. The funny thing is that Smith is only the teams third-leading scorer. Mississippi State has as much or more depth than just about any team in the conference. Mississippi is on a three-game slide and is a dismal, 1-5 SU and ATS since the end of December. They certainly do not have the same depth as their in-state rival and are really going to be manhandled on the boards in this matchup as they have no one to cover Tolu Smith and the rest of their foes big men. The home team is 14-6 ATS L20 meetings in this series. The Rebels are 1-6 ATS L7 on the road and 0-5 ATS L5 as an underdog. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.

Florida State.

Bookie Buster.

Game 875.

4:00 pm pst.

In what I expect to be a very tough matchup, I will side with the underdog Seminoles with the healthier squad and the more potent offense. FSU comes off two very strong performances (both wins and covers) over notables, NC State and UNC. While the Cardinals have talent, weaknesses were exposed on Saturday in their 78-72 loss and no cover at the hands of the Hurricanes. Pressure caused poor shooting for Louisville while they were badly outmuscled on the boards. Both up front and in the back court, Florida State has the personnel to run here. Big men, Gray and Koprivica (17.7 PPG, 11.1 RPG combined) will dominate down low while the trio of guards, Walker, Barbes (check statis), and Polite (37.0 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 8.1 APG combined) will control the tempo. The Cardinals are 1-3-1 ATS L5 at home. The Seminoles are 9-4 ATS L13 following a SU win. Take Florida State. Thank you.

Virginia Tech.

ACC GOW.

Game 839.

3:00 pm pst.

The Hokies at 10-2 SU (8-4 ATS) are playing very good basketball. Particularly on the stop-end, where they are allowing just 65.1 PPG. They have taken the last eight meetings with Wake Forest, going 6-2 ATS. To make matters worse for the 3-4 Demon Deacons, the team has been hit by the injury/illness bug with five players sidelined, including two of their top-three scorers. The road team is 5-1 ATS L6 meetings in this series. Virginia Tech is 6-1 ATS L7 overall. Wake Forest is 2-5 ATS L7 as a ‘dog. Take the Hokies. Thank you.

Tulsa.

AAC GOW.

Game 822.

12:00 pm pst.

Due to safety protocols, Memphis has yet to play in the New Year, idle for 18 days. Tulsa has played a regular schedule this season and is starting to stride, winning six of the last seven SU and going 5-1 ATS during that span. That includes a December 21, 56-49 win and cover over Memphis. This is a healthy Golden Hurricane squad that possesses a frustrating defense (61.3 PPG allowed) The underdog is 5-0 ATS L5 meetings in this series. The Tigers are 0-6 ATS L6 overall. The Golden Hurricane are 20-7 ATS L27 as a home ‘dog. Take Tulsa. Thank you.

UAB.

VIM.

Game 687.

1:00 pm pst.

In what just might be the biggest mismatch on the board today, UAB and their No.1 ranked defense (55.2 PPG allowed) will completely shut down the lackluster Charlotte offense. The Blazers just smashed the 49ers, 61-37 last night. Expect their quartet of double-digit scoring guards to light it up again here today. UAB is 6-0 ARS L6 vs. teams with a losing record, 6-2 ATS L8 on the road, and 10-4 ARS L14 as a favorite. Take the Blazers. Thank you.

Creighton.

BB.

Game 635.

11:00 am pst.

The 8th ranked Blue Jays have rattled off six straight victories while the disappointing Bulldogs are just 3-7 both SU and ATS this season. Don’t be concerned with the number here as Creighton, on both sides of the court outclass Butler. This is a team with five double-digit scorers and overall account for a whopping, 83.3 PPG. The Bulldogs don’t have the personnel to compete here. The favorite is 6-0 ATS L6 meetings in this series. Take Creighton. Thank you.

Siena.

VIM.

Game 867.

4:00 pm pst.

The Saints are off to a great start at 4-0 SU. They have dominated the Broncos, winning and covering seven of the last 10 meetings. Overall, Siena is on a 13-game SU win streak and on both sides of the ball, outclass their opponent here. This is squad with five double-digit scorers and two more players flirting with DD’s. They run with a quartet of guards as talented as any back court in the nation. Pickett, Camper, Carpenter, and King (54.5 PPG, 20.0 RPG, 13.4 APG combined) will take this game over. Siena is 5-2 ATS L7 overall. Rider is 2-6 ATS L8 overall. Take the Saints. Thank you.

Utah State.

VIM.

Game 742.

6:00 pm pst.

These two teams match up well everywhere but on the boards. The Aggies possess a far better corps of rebounders on both the offensive and defensive glass. Moreover, Utah State has been money to us bettors, covering six straight contests while San Diego State has struggled. The home team is 6-2-1 ATS L9 meetings in this series. The Aztecs are 0-4 ATS L4 following a SU win. Take the Aggies. Thank you.

Mississippi State.

BB.

Game 696.

6:00 pm pst.

Mississippi State is starting to stride playing solid basketball and winning eight of their last 10 SU. Texas A&M is not impressive at all dropping three of their last four both SU and ATS. On both sides of the court the Bulldogs outclass the Aggies, particularly on the glass. Mississippi State is very strong on both the offensive and defensive boards and that is where this matchup will get out of hand. The backcourt tandem of Molinar and Stewart JR. (37.8 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 5.8 APG combined) are just too much for the Texas A&M guards to contend with. The home team is 4-1 ATS L5 meetings in this series. The Aggies are 2-5 ATS L7 on the road and 2-5 ATS L7 overall. The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS L7 at home and 15-7 ATS L221 home games vs. teams with a losing road record. Take Mississippi State. Thank you.

Virginia Tech.

VIM.

Game 624.

4:00 pm pst.

I’ve always been a fan of Coach “K” and the Duke Blue Devils program. But this season his young and inexperienced squad just isn’t putting up the numbers we are accustomed to seeing. Thus, resulting in a 1-6 ATS mark in 2021. On the other hand, V tech is rolling, sporting a 9-2 SU record and going 7-4 ATS. They own a frustrating defense that is allowing just 64.9 PPG. They are a bit banged up but they have the depth and the talent to win this game outright. The home team is 7-2 ATS L9 meetings in this series. The Blue Devils are 1-5 ATS L6 on the road. The Hokies are 4-1 ATS L5 at home. Take Virginia Tech. Thank you.

Colorado.

VIM.

Game 863.

3:00 pm pst.

While Colorado is playing solid basketball, Utah is on a three-game SU slide and a 2-5 ATS run. On both sides of the court, the Buffaloes outclass the Utes. Particularly on the stop-end where they allow a mere, 62.6 PPG (31st). Expect the frontcourt of Colorado to dominate in the paint here. The favorite is 5-1 ATS L6 meetings in this series. Utah is 3-9 ATS L12 as a home ‘dog. Take Colorado. Thank you.

Connecticut.

BB.

Game 868.

3:00 pm pst.

Even if James Bouknight (check status) is sidelined here, UConn still has enough depth and talent to take down the struggling DePaul team. The Huskies have dominated the Blue Demons, taking more than 10 consecutive meetings SU and covering eight of the last 10, including seven straight. DePaul has very little defense. Connecticut owns one of the best in the nation. The Huskies are 4-1 ATS L5 as a road favorite and 5-0 ATS l5 overall. Take Connecticut. Thank you.

Wichita State.

VIM.

Game 832.

1:30 pm pst.

Wichita State comes in here motivated following their first loss in a month. And they are money, covering four straight outings. Cincy is point spread poison covering just two of their nine outings this season. On both sides of the ball, the Shockers outclass the Bearcats. Cincinnati is 2-6 ATS L8 on the road, 5-14 ATS L19 as an underdog, and 15-36 ATS L51 overall. Take Wichita State. Thank you.

Texas.

VIM.

Game 625.

10:00 am pst.

The Longhorns have taken five of the last six meetings in this series SU and enter this matchup rolling, sporting a 9-1 SU mark with victories over such notables as the Hoosiers, Tar Heels, Cowboys, and Jayhawks. Four of their five starters are averaging double-digits, particularly their backcourt trio of Coleman, Ramey, and Jones West Virginia has talent. But, their entire inside game revolves around forward, Culver. Texas has six solid big men to rotate on him and tire him out. The Longhorns are 6-1 ATS L7 on the road. The Mountaineers are 1-4 ATS L5 following a SU win. Take Texas. Thank you.

Northwestern.

Slam Dunk.
Game 758.

6:00 pm pst.

The last six meetings in this series have been decided by an average of 4.6 PPG with none by over eight points. Northwestern started the season off hot but comes in here having dropped their last two outings to Iowa and Michigan. The team gets back on track here at home, getting nearly double-digits against a hated rival that they match up quite well with. The Fighting Illini are 1-4-1 ATS L6 following a SU win. The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS L6 at home. Take Northwestern. Thank you.

Southern Utah.

Under The Radar.

Game 748.

6:00 pm pst.

No worries about the line here as on of the nations top-scoring teams goes up against one of its worst. Southern Utah posts 84.6 PPG and over 40.1 offensive RPG’s while Idaho accounts for a dismal 60.0 PPG and only pulls in 27.1 offensive boards. The Vandals at 0-7 SU (2-5 ATS) are getting abused at both ends of the court. Since their season-opening loss, the Thunderbirds have rattled off seven straight victories going 3-1 ATS. SUU with four DD scorers and a half dozen outstanding rebounders will dominate here. Idaho is 4-11 ATS L15 overall. Take Southern Utah. Thank you.

Iowa,

Vegas Insider Move.

Game 729.

4:00 pm pst.

The 5th ranked Hawkeyes have way too much offensive prowess for Maryland. Up front, 7’0” 270 lb. Garza 6’11” 250 lb. Nunge, and 6’8” 220 lb. Murray are a true force in the paint. The backcourt consists of three outstanding guards in Wieskamp, Fredrick, and Bohannon (34.4 PPG combined). This is a well-balanced unit. The Terrapins just don’t have the size, strength, or athleticism to contend here. The Hawkeyes won’t take this game lightly having lost last January’s matchup. Iowa is 14-2 ATS L16 following an ATS loss and 12-5 ATS L17 overall.  Maryland is 1-4 ATS L5 at home and 2-5 ATS L7 overall. Take the Hawkeyes. Thank you.

SMU.

Bookie Buster.

Game 734.

4:00 pm pst.

The Mustangs come in here angry after suffering their first loss of the season, a humiliating 14-point bating by Houston. Cincy is on a five-game slide, both SU and ATS. Poor shooting has plagued the team and boy are they in trouble here facing a very tough SMU defense. The Mustangs, which lost the last seven in this series are much better this year and will get their revenge. The Bearcats are 8-20 ATS L30 on the road. Take SMU. Thank you.

Boise State.

Bookie Buster.

Game 706.

These two MWC representatives are worlds apart. BSI is 8-1 SU and 4-0 on conference play while Air Force is 3-5 SU and 1-3 in MWC action. The Broncos possess a ton of talent with a backcourt trio of double-digit scorers and a few monster rebounders up front. This team is accounting for over 81.4 PPG. The Falcons own the 339th ranked offense in the nation barely eking out a dismal, 56.1 PPG. Things go from bad to worse here as they must take the court against one of the best defenses in the nation, allowing foes a mere 37.5% from the floor and only 60.7 PPG. If you are concerned with the number here take note that the last three Broncos victories over the Falcons were by 24, 28, and 17 points. The home team is 6-0 L6 meetings. Air Force is 3-8 ATS L1 on the road and 5-17 ATS L18 overall. Boise State is 16-5 ATS L21 at home and 5-0 ATS L5 following an ATS loss. Take Broncos. Thank you.

Rutgers.

Game 633.

6:00 pm pst.

MSU has had their way in this series taking all nine meetings SU over the last six seasons. But this is a very different Rutgers squad this season. They have taken down Syracuse, Maryland, Illinois, and Purdue. The Scarlett Knights have covered five of the last six including a tough two-point loss to Iowa on Saturday. MSU has been point spread poison failing to cover their last seven outings, losing three of those SU to NW, Wiscy, and Minny. Rutgers can shoot the “3” and are evenly matched in the paint here. They are 5-1 ATS L6 as a ‘dog and 20-6-2 ATS L28 vs. winners. The Spartans are 0-4 ATS L4 at home, and 4-9 ATS L13 vs. winners. Take Rutgers. Thank you.

Florida.

SEC SMASHER.

Game 623.

4:00 pm pst.

Following the loss of star forward, Keyontae Johnson, Florida has won and covered their last two contests against such notables as Vanderbilt and LSU. Look for rival Alabama to be in let down mode here coming off a big win over Tennessee as a 10.5-point underdog. The Gators are monsters on the boards. That along with the fact that they come in here confident having taken the last three meetings in this series SU will be the difference. The road team is 20-5-1 ATS L26 meetings in this series. Take Florida. Thank you.

CSU.

OM PLAY.

Game 875.

6:00 pm pst.

San Diego State is a decent team. But they have dropped two of their last three outings both SU and ATS, including Saturday’s 70-67 loss and no cover against Colorado State. The Rams are rolling, donning a 6-1 SU record and going 4-1 ATS in 2020. Both teams are healthy and match up well with one another. CSU owns the more explosive back court of Roddy, Stevens, and Moore, who are all DD scorers that will be the difference here as the Rams will control the tempo and the clock. The Aztecs are 3-7 ATS L10 as a home favorite. Take CSU. Thank you.

NW.

BIG TEN GOW.

Game 8474.

4:30 pm pst.

There is no question Michigan is a good team. But so is Northwestern. The Wildcats have already beaten rivals, Spartans, Hoosiers, and Buckeyes and coming off a loss to the 10th ranked Hawkeyes will motivate the team to bounce back here. They have both the big men and the back court to contend in this matchup. But it will be the mismatch of their 8th ranked three-point shooting squad against the Wolverines 294th ranked three-point defense that will be fatal here. NW is 5-2 ATS L7 overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Duquesne took down GW last night, 75-63 to give the Dukes their sixth victory over the last seven meetings with the Colonials SU going 5-2 ATS. George Washington’s only wins in 2020 came against Coppin State and Fordham. Duquesne is 4-0 ATS L4 on the road. GW is 3-10 ATS L13 overall. Take the Dukes. Thank you.

Wright State.

HL GOW.

Game 701.

2:00 pm pst.

Wright State just spanked Oakland, 90-51 yesterday to give the Raiders eight consecutive wins and covers in this series. They are 5-0 ATS L5 on the road and 5-2 ATS L7 overall. Take Wright State. Thank you.

Baylor.

BB.

Game 623.

10:00 am pst.

The No.2 ranked Baylor Bears outclass the ISU Cyclones on both ends of the court. They will devour their league foe here and continue to get bettors paid (7-1 ATS). They are 10-4 ATS L14 on Saturday, 20-8-1 ATS L29 as a road fav, and 40-19-1 ATS L60 overall on the road. Take the Bears. Thank you.

Louisville.

CTB.

Game 903.

9:00 am pst.

Look for the 6-1 Cardinals to decimate the Eagles dismal defense here and light up the scoreboard with a staring-five chock full of talented athletic scorers. BC is 0-4 ATS L4 at home. Take Louisville. Thank you.

UTEP.

BB.

Game 891.

5:00 pm pst.

UTEP has played St. Mary’s, Arizona, and ASU, covering all three contests and beating the Sun Devils outright by 13 points as a 13-point ‘dog. The Miners have faced and competed with some of the most talented squads in college hoops. This is a huge step down especially knowing they have won and covered the last two meetings with the Eagles. UTEP is 5-1 ATS L6 on the road and 7-1 ATS L8 overall. Take the Miners. Thank you.

Wright State.

CTB.

Game 877.

4:00 pm pst.

This is a mismatch on both sides of the court. Wright State has dominated Oakland taking the last seven meetings both SU and ATS. The Raiders are stacked with five double-digit scorers. Take Wright State. Thank you.

Milwaukee.

BB.

Game 843.

3:00 pm pst.

The Colonials own one of the poorest defenses in the nation. Expect the Panthers which are riding a three-game SU hot streak while covering all four outings in 2020, to exploit this with their trio of stellar guards, Lucas, Gholston, and Thomas (37.1 PPG combined). Milwaukee is 4-0 ATS L4 on the road and 7-3-1 ATS L11 as a ‘dog. Take the Panthers. Thank you.

Liberty.

Early Winner.

Game 307073.

12:00 pm pst.

The mighty Liberty offense (50.7% FG’s) with their talented backcourt (all three starters averaging between 9.1 and 14.5 PPG) will trample the lax Lipscomb defense. On the flipside, look for the stingy Flames D” to shut down the Bison “O”. The Flames are 5-2 ATS L7 on the road, 4-0 ATS L4 as a fav, and 7-0 ATS L7 overall. Take Liberty. Thank you.

USC.

BB.

Game 744.

7:00 pm pst.

Ove the last three weeks, USC has only taken the floor twice, both wins and covers. Colorado is 0-2 both SU and ATS as an underdog in 2020, stepping up in class twice and paying the price for it. The Buffaloes have had trouble on the boards the last few outings and are in real trouble in this outing facing a trojans team that has outrebounded five of six foes this season. Look for the Mobley brothers (27.5 PPG, 17.5 RPG combined) to take this game over. USC gets some payback from dropping four straight in this series. Buffalo is 1-6 ATS L7 vs. winners, 13-40 ATS L53 on the road, and 7-19 ATS L26 as an underdog. USC is 6-2 ATS L8 as a favorite, 7-3 ATS L10 at home, and 4-1 ATS L5 overall. Take the Trojans. Thank you.

Arizona.

BB.

Game 739.

5:00 pm pst.

Following their 88-74 dismantling of Colorado on Monday, the 7-1 Arizona team was hit with a school self-imposed one-year postseason ban. The line is a bit low as oddsmakers feel the mental state of the team is in question here. I think just the opposite will happen. Coach Sean Miller is a pretty sharp guy and will have his squad focused here to make a statement. Washington at 1-6 is a mess. They don’t have the offensive prowess to compete in this matchup especially against the very frustrating defense of Arizona. The Wildcats have three double-digit scorers and several monster rebounders. The Huskies have only one offensive threat in their backcourt. ‘Zona has the depth to rotate guards and key on him. Washington is 3-8 ATS L11 at home, 7-19 ATS L26 as a home ‘dog, and 7-20 ATS L27 overall. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Florida.

BB.

Game 707.

6:00 pm pst.

Florida returns to the hardwood to play their first game in over two weeks and will do so without Keyontae Johnson. The Gators are loaded with talent and must make a statement here against a team they have easily beaten the last four meetings SU. Florida is 7-3 ATS L10 as a favorite. Vanderbilt is 4-10 ATS L14 as a home ‘dog. Take the Gators. Thank you.

Clemson.

BB.

Game 608.

4:00 pm pst.

This is FSU’s first road contest of the season. They will visit their rival Clemson here and their stifling defense which is yielding a mere 53.4 PPG. FSU comes off two lackluster performances. A 12-point loss to UCF as a 15-point favorite and then they eked out a double-digit win and no cover against Gardner Webb as a 20-point fav. The home team is 4-1 ATS L5 meetings in this series. The Tigers are 4-1 ATS L5 at home and 6-2 ATS L8 overall. Take Clemson. Thank you.

Drake.

BB.

Game 823.

2:00 pm pst.

The 10-0 Drake Bulldogs are also a perfect 8-0 ATS in 2020. They come off an 18-point thumping of this Sycamores team just last night. That victory marks the 7th SU win over the last nine meetings in this series and the 9th over the last 10 matchups. This is a team accounting for over 85.9 PPG. Drake is 5-1 ATS L6 on the road and 10-1 ATS L11 overall. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.

Drake.

BB.

Game 789.

10:00 am pst.

At 9-0, Drake is rolling. They enter this matchup vs. Indiana State having won five of the last six meetings SU and all six ATS. The Bulldogs are accounting for over 86.4 PPG. This team is explosive with big men, Hemphill and Murphy (22.8, 10.9 combined) and a backcourt trio of Penn, Wilkins, and Sturtz (32.2 PPG combined). The Sycamores just can’t keep pace here. Drake is 4-1 ATS L5 on the road. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.

Michigan.

BIG TEN GOW.

Game 755.

3:00 pm pst.

The 6-0 Wolverines have taken the last four meetings in this series SU and ATS by an average margin of 20.7 PPG. Nebraska has already gotten thumped by every solid team they have faced. The Cornhuskers are 0-7 ATS L7 as a home ‘dog, 2-10 ATS L12 at home, and 3-9 ATS L12 overall. Take the Wolverines. Thank you.

MSU.

Game 752.

9:30 am pst.

The Spartans have owned the Badgers in East Lansing, taking 12 straight meetings at home and are 8-1 the last nine overall matchups. MSU comes  in here a bit miffed following their first loss of the season. This is a team that has already taken down the likes of Notre Dame and Duke. Wiscy is facing their toughest foe yet in 2020 having been a huge fav in just about every outing this season. The home team is 8-3 ATS l11 meetings. The Spartans are 5-0 ATS L5 as an underdog and 11-3 ATS L14 as a home underdog. Take MSU. Thank you.

BSU.

BB.

Game 738.

7:00 pm pst.

BSU just smacked UNM on Saturday, 77-53 to give the Broncos the last two meetings in this series both SU and ATS. Boise State has already covered games against both Houston and BYU. The favorite is 5-2 ATS L7 meetings. The Lobos are 7-16 ATS L23 on the road. The Broncos are 6-1 ATS L7 as a home favorite. Take BSU. Thank you.

Kansas.

Game 678.

6:00 pm pst.

Since their season-opening loss to Gonzaga, Kansas has devoured all opponents. West Virginia’s only loss in 2020 also came at the hands of the Zags. However, the Jayhawks have dominated this series, taking the last four meetings SU, going, 3-1 ATS, and winning each by no less than seven points. The home team is 14-5 ATS L19 meetings. The Mountaineers are 2-7 ATS L9 on the road. The Jayhawks are 6-2 ATS L8 following an ATS win. Take Kansas. Thank you.

UCF.

BB.

Game 626.

1:00 pm pst.

These two teams know each other well. But Cincy has folded like a cheap suit against all four formidable foes (Xavier, Tennessee, USF, Georgia) this season. They are also 1-5 ATS L6 on the road and 2-11 ATS L13 as a fav. Take UCF. Thank you.

FSU.

CTB.

Game 307018.

4:00 pm pst.

Sports fans, Florida State is angry following not just their first loss of the 2020 season on Saturday, but also a defeat that snapped a 27-game home winning streak. This is a very healthy and talented team that has already notched wins over such notables as Indiana, Florida, and Georgia Tech. Oh, by the way, they also have no problems covering big numbers as they showed in their 86-58 win and cover over North Florida as a 25.5-point fav. Gardner-Webb is simply outclassed and outmatched here. particularly on the inside where they don’t have the muscles to compete with the Seminoles 7’1”, 265 lb Koprivica and 6’8” 265 lb Gray. FSU is 5-0 ATS L5 following an ATS loss, 6-2 ATS L8 at home, and 8-3 ATS L11 overall. Take the Seminoles. Thank you.

MSU.

BB.

Game 737.

4:00 pm pst.

MSU is off to a torrid 6-0 start, with wins and covers over such notables as Notre Dame and Duke. Northwestern has three victories over Ark-Pine Bluff, Chicago State, and Quincy. Going back just six years, the Spartans have taken all 10 meetings with the Wildcats going 7-3 ATS. The only known team that NW faced was Pitt and they lost and failed to cover and moreover got outrebounded too, 50-34. They are in real trouble here as MSU has a tandem of big men in Hauser and henry (25.5 PPG combined that are teaming up for over 16.0 RPG. The fav is 8-3 ATS L11 meetings in this series. The Spartans are 4-0 ATS L4 on the road. The Wildcats are 2-6 ATS L8 as a home ‘dog. Take Michigan State. Thank you.

EWU.

BB.

Game 618.

3:00 pm pst.

I don’t know who scheduled EWU’s games, but they have already played WSU, Arizona, Oregon, and St. Mary’s, covering three of the four contests. They have taken six in a row SU and the last five ATS in this series.

 The Eagles are 6-1 ATS L7 on the road and 7-2 ATS L9 overall. The Lumberjacks are 2-6 ATS L8 at home and 0-6 ATS L8 overall. Take EWU. Thank you.

Drake.

BB play.

Game 828.

3:00 pm pst.

This is short number to lay with a Drake squad that is 6-0 SU and 4-0 ATS this season that has the talent to best Kansas State 80-70 as a four-point ‘dog. The Bulldogs just thumped the Coyotes, 69-53 three weeks ago. Take Drake. Thank you.

Richmond.

CTB play.

Game 855.

3:00 pm pst.

 Richmond is 3-1 SU and ATS the last four against the likes of Kentucky, West Virginia, and Vanderbilt. Yes, Loy-Chi is 3-1 SU and 2-1 AT but their first three outings were against Lewis, Chi State, and UIC. They then got smoked by Wisconsin, 77-63. The Ramblers are 1-4 ARS L5 as a home ‘dog. The Spiders are 8-3 ATS L11 following a SU win. Take Richmond. Thank you.

Wyoming.

Consensus.

Game 790.

6:00 pm pst.

Wyoming is playing solid basketball, donning a 5-1 record. They took down Oregon State, 76-73 as a nine-point underdog. This is an offense that accounts for over 86.2 PPG, hitting nearly half of their shots from the floor, and almost 40% from beyond the arc. The talented back court trio of Williams, Foster, and Maldonado (49.6 PPG/13.8 RPG combined) are too much for their outclassed counterparts here. The Mavs are 0-5 ATS the last five on the road and 0-6 ATS the last six overall. The Cowboys are 5-2 ATS the last seven at home and 11-3 ATS the last 14 overall. Take Wyoming. Thank you.

Kansas.

Game 787.

4:00 pm pst.

The last two meetings in this series were separated by three and four points. Expect another tight game here. However, Kansas is on a roll following their season-opening loss to Gonzaga with victories over such notables as Kentucky and Creighton. Texas Tech is good but only faced one solid foe in Houston and lost by 11 as a three-point fav. The Jayhawks are 10-3 ATS the last1 3 on the road. Take Kansas. Thank you.

Bryant.

OM play.

Game 307144.

1:00 pm pst.

Quick rematch from last nights 74-62 win and cover for Bryant, the Bulldogs fifth consecutive win and cover over the Seahawks just in the last two years. No reason why this meeting will have any different of an outcome. Wagner is 6-20 ATS the last 26 on the road and 8-26 ATS the last 34 overall. Bryant is 5-2 ATS the lasts seven at home, and 5-1 ATS the last six overall. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.

Take Washington.

This is my SLAM DUNK play.

Game 702.

8:00 pm pst.

Going back to last season, Montana is riding an 0-6 run, both SU and ATS. Washington which is just 1-4 SU, has had a killer schedule already facing the likes of Baylor, Utah, and Oregon. They are improving each game, however, covering their last two outings, including a three-point heartbreaking loss to Oregon on Saturday. They have taken all six meetings with the Grizzlies going back a dozen years, including last season’s rout, 73-56. This is the ideal opportunity for the Huskies to boost their confidence and get on the winning track. Look for standout, Quade Greene (17.0 PPG) to light up the scoreboard here. Montana is 0-4 ATS the last four on the road and 4-10 ATS the last 14 as an underdog. Take Washington. Thank you.

St. Mary’s.

BB.

Game 642.

7:00 pm pst.

St. Mary’s has outhustled and outrebounded every opponent during their current six-game SU win streak (4-2 ATS). After playing both WSU and Arizona tight, Eastern Washington got humbled by Oregon. It’s going to be difficult for them to rebound from that beating. And the Eagles have yet to win the battle of the boards against any foe thus far. The Gaels can play defense and will shut down their adversary here while completely dominating the glass. Take St. Mary’s. Thank you.

SF.

Consensus.

Game 779.

12:00 pm pst.

Cal is in for a long season. They are hitting just 29.3% beyond the arc and have just one player averaging DD’s. The Golden Bears aren’t so golden, dropping three in a row both SU and ATS and have covered only once this campaign (1-4 ATS). San Fran, which beat Virginia outright as a 15-point underdog, has taken the last two meetings in this series both SU and ATS, winning by 19 and 12 points. This is a huge mismatch the starting backcourt of Bouyea and Shabazz (32.5 PPG combined) will take this game over. Take the Dons. Thank you.

Clemson.

Consensus.

Game 725.

5:00 pm pst.

The Tigers return four starters from last year’s team including All-SEC, John Petty Jr. Their experienced squad has won all four outings this season by double digits (4-0 ATS). They once again own a monster defense (50.3 PPG). They are also 13-5 ATS L18 following a SU win and 5-0 ATS L5 overall. The Crimson Tide is 1-4 ATS L5 following a SU win and 2-5-1 ATS L8 overall. Take Clemson. Thank you.  

Oregon.

ATM.

Game 729.

5:00 pm pst.

A big win here and the Ducks will most-likely crack the top-25 again. After a season-opening loss to Missouri, Oregon has rattled off three consecutive victories, besting all four foes on the boards. Washington is not very competitive on the glass to begin with. Over the last five years, The Ducks have dominated this rivalry going 9-1 AU and 7-3 ATS, taking the last three meetings (3-0 SU & ATS). Oregon is 10-4 ATS L14 following an ATS loss. Washington is 5-16 ATS L21 overall. Take the Ducks. Thank you.

SD State.

Consensus.

Game 863.

7:00 pm pst.

The No. 23 and 24 ranked teams in the nation face one another here. Bobby Hurley’s ASU squad is off to another good start at 3-1 SU. However, odds makers tend to overvalue the team, resulting in their 1-3 ATS mark. San Diego State has held a spot in the rankings in 16 of the last 18 polls, going back to last season. The Aztecs may not have as explosive of an offense, but they have a monster defense and have held opponents to an average of just 54.3 PPG. Mind you, they have played such notables as UCLA, UCI, and Pepperdine already. This has allowed them to get bettors paid, going 2-1 ATS. They are also 13-3 ATS L16 on the road, 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog, and 13-4 ATS L17 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. The Sun Devils are 0-5 ATS L6 at home, 1-7 ATS L8 as a fav, and 1-7-1 ATS L9 overall. Take San Diego State. Thank you.

Duke.

BB.

Game 832.

9:30 pm pst.

The No.10 Duke team and their talented batch of freshman have begun to play physical basketball. They beat a few cupcakes before and after suffering their only loss of the season, a 75-69 defeat to MSU. Illinois is the team they must come out and make an example of. After laying huge wood over three nobodies, the Illini was outclassed by the Baylor Bears, 82-67. The Blue Devils have started eight different players already. The amazing Forward’s, Hurt, Johnson, and Brakefield will take this game over. Coach K, a master strategist, will know exactly how to handle Illinois and their five dedicated starters. The Fighting Illini are 1-4 ATS L5 as a ‘dog and 2-5 ATS L7 overall. Take the Blue Devils. Thank you.

BYU.

BB.

Game 665.

6:00 pm pst.

The wrong team is favored here folks, BYU is 4-1 SU and 3-1 ATS. They have dominated Utah State winning eight in a row SU and the lasts seven ATS. On both ends of the court they outclass the Aggies here. USU is 1-5 ATS L6 at home and 0-5 ATS L5 as a fav. Take the Cougars. Thank you.

Houston.

BB.

Game 654. 3:00 pm pst.

Houston is off to a 3-0 SU start (2-1 ATS) and they are playing great basketball at both tends of the court. They have won each of their games by double digits. They took out South Carolina a season ago by 20 points. Look for the frustrating Cougars defense to shut down the Gamecocks and also own the boards. Houston is 5-2 ATS L7 at home. Take the Cougars. Thank you.  

Oregon.

Consensus.

Game 823.

7:00 pm pst.

Oregon beat Seton Hall last season while their best player had to sit. Eugene Omoruyi is their top scorer and rebounder. Well, he is playing here. The 21st ranked Ducks kicked off the campaign with a loss to Missouri. You can expect them to come out here and make a statement. Seton Hall is decent but playing in Omaha, Nebraska against an angry Oregon squad is going to be fatal. The Pirates lack the depth. Particularly against a team as strong as Oregon. The Ducks are 11-2 ATS L13 on neutral sites and 4-1 ATS L5 overall. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Mississippi State.

BB.

Game 814.

5:00 pm pst.

Mississippi State dropped their first two outings of the campaign to two very solid opponents, Clemson and Liberty. They then shredded Texas State to give HC, Ben Howland his 500th career win. Look for them to continue to get back on track here. UNT is a good team in their CUSA conference. But stepping up in class has been disastrous. And they certainly step up big time here. The Bulldogs are 8-3 ATS L11 as a home favorite and 7-3 ATS L10 following an ATS win. Take Mississippi State. Thank you.

Virginia.

BB.

Game 802.

3:00 pm pst.

No. 15 Virginia thumped Towson then lost to San Francisco. They came back the following game to decimate SFPA. Knowing the Kent State has some talent, expect the Cavs to crush them here as they have the Spartans up next in a few days. They must make sure they are in sync here. The Golden Flashes beat Point Park. Are they a high school team? LOL To say this is a step up in class is an understatement. Virginia is 5-0 ATS L5 at home and 7-2-1 ATS L10 overall. Take the cavaliers. Thank you.

USC.

VI MOVE.

Game 752.

4:00 pm pst.

Being played in Mohegan Sun’s “Bubbleville” really doesn’t benefit UConn here. The Huskies face a big, talented front court of the Trojans here. To be honest, this is a huge mismatch. Connecticut has faced two creampuffs thus far in CCSU and Hartford. USC took it easy in their season-opener against Cal-Baptist then shredded Montana and then decimated the highly-touted BYU team, 79-53 as a 2.5-point underdog. The No. 3 rated player in the 2020 freshman class (many feel he is the No. 1) Evan Mobley is a stud. The 7’0” 215 lb. big man is averaging 16.3 PPG/9.0 RPG. The other Mobley, Isaiah brings to the hardwood a 6’11 240 lb. frame and another 10.3/11.3. Look for the Trojans to utilize their size, strength, and athleticism here. USC is 8-1 ATS L9 as an underdog, 16-5 ATS L21 on neutral sites, 10-3 ATS L13 following an ATS win, and 9-3 ATS L12 overall. Take the Trojans. Thank you.

Texas.

Game 715.

1:00 pm pst.

The No. 14 and No. 17 teams in the nation face each other here. Both are chock full of talent. Both can score. And both can rebound. Texas, which has won and covered the last four meetings in this series will come in here a bit less fatigued. Their 66-44 win and cover as a two-pint underdog yesterday against Indiana was not as tough of a dogfight as the UNC 67-63 push with Stanford. The Longhorns are 7-2 ATS L9 following a SU win and 7-2 ATS L9 overall. The Tar Heels are 4-12-1 ATS L17 following a SU win and 1-3-1 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Texas. Thank you.

Nebraska.

BB.

Game 626.

6:00 pm pst.

Nebraska, off to a 2-1 start is playing some stifling defense. Meanwhile South Dakota stepped up in class in their first two outings, losing and failing to cover against Colorado and Drake. The Cornhuskers have this game and one more pushover on deck with FAMU to hone their skills before they start facing competitive adversaries. The Coyotes are 4-11 ATS L15 on the road and 2-6 ATS L8 overall. Take Nebraska. Thank you.

MSU.

Game 623.

4:30 pm pst.

In an early-season marquee matchup, No. 8 MSU travels to Durham to play the No. 6 Duke. The Spartans have a ton of seasoned veterans that have moved the ball exceptionally well, looking like they are in mid-season form. Duke is good but lack overall experience with a team loaded with freshman. Not having any fans in the stands is also a bit disadvantage for the Blue Devils. The underdog is 4-0 ATS L4 meetings in this series. Duke is 2-5 ATS L7 following a SU win. Take MSU. Thank you.

BYU

BB.

Game 738.

6:00 pm pst.

Last season, BYU went 9-4 in games they laid double-digits. And with some tough opponents coming up, the Cougars must sharpen their skills here and perhaps also boost their confidence against this lesser foe. Don’t think that they will be taking this Utah Valley squad lightly. They know that the beginning of last season, they played Kentucky very close the entire contest. But they are crushing bettors going 1-7 ATS L8 vs. winners and 7-15 ATS L22 overall. BYU is 11-4 ATS L15 at home and 16-7 ATS L23 overall. Take the Cougars. Thank you.   

SD State.

San Diego State is a monster team that comes off a rout over UCLS two days ago, 73-58. UCI got thumped by Pepperdine, 86-72. The Aztecs will own the boards here and crush the Anteaters. Take SD State. Thank you.

Take WF.

Game 307156.

4:00 pm pst.

Wake Forest opened with a 111-51 rout of visiting Delaware State on Wednesday night. Wake Forest made 14 shots from 3-point range, its highest total in nearly four years. With 15 minutes to play, the Demon Deacons already had more treys than in any game last season. Longwood has a tall team but lacks the athletic talent to run with Wake Forest here. Take the Demon Deacons. Thank you.

Take Iowa.

VI play.

Game 307148.

2:00 pm pst.

Iowa is the No. 5 team in the nation for good reason. They come off a 2-win campaign, have a smart coach, and the reigning Big ten Conference Player of the Year. They faced NC Central and thumped them by 30 points while Southern also faced NC Central and got beat by 7. The Hawkeyes are 18-7-3 ATS L28 overall. Take Iowa. Thank you.

Take Maryland.

BB play.

Game 307134.

12:00 pm pst.

The Terrapins, coming off their 24-7, Big Ten regular season championship campaign, are 1-0 after an impressive 85-67 home win over Old Dominion on Wednesday. Mount St. Mary's will be both of these teams' next opponent: Navy plays The Mount Saturday in College Park at 3 p.m., and the Terrapins host The Mount at 2 p.m. Sunday. Maryland's following game Dec. 1 with Monmouth has already been canceled because the Hawks had a player or staff member test positive for COVID-19. So, this team need to stay sharp and blow it up here. The Middies are just outclassed here on both ends of the court. Take the Terrapins. Thank you.

Take Kansas.

CONSENSUS.

Game 618.

11:00 am pst.

Kansas opened their season with an embarrassing loss to the No.1 team in the nation, losing to Gonzaga, 102-90. That was the most points they have allowed in the 18 years Bill self is head coach. They will devour St Joe’s here. The Jayhawks are 42-19-3 ATS L64 following a SU loss and 7-3 ATS L10 overall. Take Kansas. Thank you.

The biggest college basketball game on the board this entire week and maybe the entire month is Thursday’s Gonzaga/Kansas matchup.

 The Jayhawks and Bulldogs finished last season ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the polls.

A potential showdown in the NCAA Tournament Final Four or title game was wiped away as the event was called off because of coronavirus safety precautions.

The Jayhawks and Bulldogs will meet to open this season on Thanksgiving Day at the Fort Myers Tip-Off in Florida. What’s on the line is a bit different but still very significant.

Gonzaga, which went 31-2 last season, enters this campaign at No. 1 in the preseason poll, while Kansas which was 28-3 is ranked sixth in the nation.

 The Bulldogs lost forward Filip Petrusev, last season's West Coast Conference Player of the Year. But reports are that this team is even more talented than last year’s squad. They picked up Jalen Suggs, one of the highest-rated recruits in the land to accompany some of college hoops best returning players.

 The Jayhawks lost big man Udoka Azubuike and point guard Devon Dotson. But they have recruited some of the most talked about new faces and brought in a big-name transfer to compliment one of the nation’s best overall teams. They have a monster defense and some very intelligent accurate shooters.    

Both coaches are smart and excellent at preparing their players. Please understand the general public has already jumped on Gonzaga, moving the line from a -1.5 up to -4 as of Wednesday late-afternoon. They will continue to move on the preseason fav as they always do. As a contrarian, I have made a successful career and have won more NCAAB handicapping titles than just about anyone in the history of this business. Two baskets are a high price for the Bulldogs to lay in their season-opener against a well-disciplined team like the Jayhawks, which certainly aren’t intimidated by them.

 Gonzaga is 1-5 ATS the last six game splayed on a neutral site while Kansas is 9-4 ATS the last 13 games played on a neutral site.

This early in the season, I must take the points with the Jayhawks. Take Kansas. Thank you.

Michigan begins the campaign the 25th ranked team in the nation. The Wolverines went 19-12 last year and return quite a few experienced familiar faces. F, Livers and G, Wagner will compete for All-Big Ten honors. Big men, Davis and Brandon JR. are back as well as Brooks. They are joined by a pair of accomplished transfers is G’s Smith and Brown JR. This team is loaded with seasoned talent. They kicked off the shortened 2019 season winning all seven of their November contests. They crushed their first-four daisies then won and covered against Iowa State, North Carolina, and Gonzaga. This team must come out and make a statement here. Bowling Green is outclassed here on both ends of the court. The Falcons are 1-4 ATS the last five on the road. The Wolverines are 22-10-1 ATS the last 33 at home. Take Michigan. Thank you.

Take Fordham.

This is my DOW.

Game 641.

12:30 pm pst.

Fordham has won and covered the last three meetings in this series, including both this season. The Rams 11th ranked defense (62.0 PPG) keeps contests very close. George Washington is on a five game SU slide, going just 1-4 ATS. The Colonials do not match up well here as they face a squad with three double digit scorers and a corps of monster boardsmen. GW is 2-6 ATS the last eight as a favorite. Fordham is 5-2 ATS the last seven following an ATS loss. Take the Rams. Thank you.

Take UNC.
This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 605.

4:00 pm pst.

In a game played in their backyard, expect the Tar Heels to make a good showing. They come off a loss to rivals, the Blue Devils following a three game win and cover streak. The Hokies are horrible, covering just two of their last 14 outings. This is a team that poses no offensive threat whatsoever, with a defense that has started to spring leaks. With better big men and the best overall player on the floor (Cole Anthony 19.6/5.7) look for North Carolina to come out here and impress. Virginia Tech is 0-6 ATS the last six as an underdog. Take UNC. Thank you.

Take Portland State.

This is my OM.

Game 706.

7:05 pm pst.

Portland State and their four double-digit scorers have won and covered five straight and are looking for a bit of payback here from a late-January, 11-point embarrassing defeat at the hands of Sacramento State. The home team is 5-2 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. The Vikings are 4-0 ATS the last four as a favorite and 5-1 ATS the last six at home. Take Portland State. Thank you.

Take La Salle.

This is my DOW.

Game 627.

11:00 am pst.

La Salle, at 14-15 has a show at both a .500 record and a possible (with some help) lower-tier tourney. They lit up St. Joe's, 83-66 a month ago, shining from both beyond the arc and overwhelming from the bench. The Hawks are 2-5 ATS the last seven at home and 0-4 ATS the last four as a favorite. Take the Explorers. Thank you.

Take South Carolina.

This is my SEC BB.

Game 611.

9:30 am pst.

South Carolina, which crushed Vanderbilt, 90-64 in the first meeting to give the team three straight wins and covers in this matchup, needs to stomp their SEC rival here then a sustained run through the conference tourney next week to grasp an NCAA at-large bid. The 'Dores are in a "let-down" mode here after Tuesday's, 87-79 outright victory at Alabama (ending a seven-game skid) as a 12-point underdog. Nothing will change from the earlier rout as the gamecock's shot 54.0% from the floor. South Carolina is 9-2 ATS the last 11 on the road and 11-5 ATS the last 16 overall. Take the Gamecocks. Thank you.

Take Santa Clara.

This is my VI Play.

Game 881.

8:30 pm pst.

Yes, Pepperdine won and covered both meetings with Santa Clara this season but, the odds are against them taking all three especially when you factor in that the Waves are 0-3 when playing on neutral sites and that the Broncos are running hot, winning their last two outings. A very healthy, Santa Clara squad owns the better rebounding corps and the more accurate shooters. Pepperdine is 3-12 ATS the last 15 as a favorite. Santa Clara is 4-1 ATS the last five on neutral sites. Take the Broncos. Thank you.
