Taking ORAL ROBERTS. One of those, maybe too good to be true games. But, I'm biting. 9-17 and 9-14 teams out of the Summit aren't premier programs by any stretch. I see though that Oral is 5-6 in conference play and South Dakota 3-7. Golden Eagles with better numbers on the boards, the field and from deep. Yet, a decent dog. Maybe the 2-10 away record inflates the number. But the Coyotes of South Dakota a miserable 2-10 ATS run their last 12. Again, So Dak 1-3 at home losing in OT as a PK, losing outright as 9pt faves. And a splitting as dogs. 4* Money Maker ORAL ROBERTS 

Taking NIAGARA. I'll gladly take the points in this game. Purple Eagles took the first meeting 95-90. Would love to see that pace again getting this number. Iona has lost 4 straight and 5 of 6, They are 5-6 in conference, Niagara 4-7. Not much difference. Sure not an 8 point separation. Road team on a 6-1 ATS run. 4* Money Maker NIAGARA

Taking SANTA BARBARA. So 4th straight road game for Davis. Hawaii, Riverside, Poly - So yeah, they are in Cali. But man. 4 straight. That is tough. It is tough in NBA and NHL. Sure to be tough when you are 2-10 on the road and facing a team that beat you on your home floor by double digits. 4* Money Maker UCSB 

4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BUCKS

4* Money Maker EVANSVILLE 

4* Money Maker CHARLOTTE 

4* Money Maker MONTREAL CANADIENS 

Taking BAYLOR. Think we are catching a break with this short line. I do like K-State. Tough defensive team. But, in off a big rivalry win over Kansas, primed for a flat spot. Bears in off loss at Texas. 4* Money Maker BAYLOR BEARS

Taking DRAKE. In off arguably their worse loss of the year, expect a focused group. We have been on the Bulldogs several times this season. Drake 16-4-1 ATS last 21 at home. Fave on a 16-3-2 ATS run in the series. Add in a dash of revenge for 57-54 loss in January, and my personal fave, road team shooting a paltry 40% from the field and count me in for a double digit home team win. 4* Money Maker DRAKE 

Taking MISSOURI. Both these teams, for me, terrible. But I think we have a little value in MizzU in this spot. They crushed A&M 66-43 a couple weeks ago on the road. I can't see this being some huge revenge game, especially with the Aggies on the road where they are 1-3 in conference play (1-8 overall in SEC) lone win by a point over Alabama. When 2 of the 4 worse teams in conference are playing, you don't have any look aheads. You just want to win. Short number on the home team gets the call. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI

4* Money Maker GEORGE WASHINGTON 

4* Money Maker UTAH JAZZ

4* Money Maker DENVER

4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO STATE

Taking NORTHEASTERN. We faded Elon their last game, will do it again. NE battling for CAA top dog status. Huskies with an 11pt OT win over these guys. I doubt they will take them lightly after going to OT a month ago. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN 

Taking LOUISVILLE. Both teams in off nice road wins. I just have to grab any points with UL though. These guys are quietly putting together a very nice run. Let's look at their losses. A payback loss to NC. They lost in OT at Pitt. Lost in OT on a neutral to Marquette, after losing to Tennessee on a neutral. (Beat Michigan State in OT after those 2 games) Lost at 1 at Indiana. And got beat by 13 by Kentucky. Just 2 losses since January. Not sure what FSU teams shows up. The one that has won 4 straight. Or the one that lost 3 straight to Duke and at Wake and Boston College. Tight game and getting a bucket, I'm on the dog. 4* Money Maker LOUISVILLE 

4* Money Maker IDAHO

4* Money Maker THE CITADEL

Taking MARQUETTE. Nova took all games last year. I think Marquette is a tad better and exacts their triple revenge. 4* Money Maker MARQUETTE 

Taking MICHIGAN STATE. Lost with these guys in a horrible road loss. Laying double digits, now 2 straight losses with nearly identical scores. I will go back to the Sparty well in a game, I would think, Izzo will have them in rampage mode. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN STATE 

4* Money Maker DETROIT RED WINGS 

Taking ST JOHNS. Have this line at nearly double digits. Friars with 3 straight wins in the series. Payback for SJU. 4* Money Maker ST JOHN'S 

Taking DARTMOUTH. 4 straight wins for Cornell so Big Green should be plenty angry tonight. They have also lost 3 straight in Ivy play. Throwing out all the trends pointing to Cornell. Big Red 4-0-1 ATS last 4 here and 10-4-1 last 15 ATS. Road team 7-1-1 run, dog 8-1-1. But with all that, we still have Dartmouth as the fave. When it looks to easy, it usually is. 4* Money Maker DARTMOUTH

4* Money Maker SAN JOSE SHARKS 

Taking AUSTIN PEAY 4* Money Maker 

4* Money Maker MONTANA STATE

Taking SAN FRANCISCO. 12 straight for the Zags, 13-0 at home -- Crushed Pacific by 31, Santa Clara by 43, 35 Bakersfield, 45 North Alabama, 37 Texas Southern, 41 Idaho State, 42 North Dakota State, 61 over Denver, and 33 over Texas Arlington. The Dons are a Top 40 program. They hung tough at home before the Zags did their thing. Gonzaga with a more 'hated' rival on deck in St Mary's. I just think getting nearly 20, we are getting an inflated home fave and added bonus of SF losing 2 straight and this being a 3rd straight road game. This is their season. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 

Taking USF. A nice 10-1 ATS road run for the dogs here. SMU has dropped 2 straight and 4 of 5. Not sure they should be favored over anyone right now. Added bonus that they gave Cincy everything and the kitchen sink in their previous game. That was on the heels of a 2pt loss at Wichita. So this is a real flat spot. Bulls 11-1 ATS last 12 vs AAC foes. 4* Money Maker

Taking IOWA. Tough team coming to face Indiana. Don't fret over a let down after playing Michigan. Plenty of time off since that victory. Not happy with a 2-3 road record for us, but, I don't think it matters in this spot. First, we are in a Pk game and looking for Triple Revenge. Not sure the Hoosiers have enough bullets in the chamber to trade shots here. I think Iowa runs their tempo, and Indiana falls short. 4* Money Maker IOWA 

Taking NORTHERN ARIZONA 4* Money Maker -- I have heard that some people have trouble getting down on these added games and 'smaller' colleges. I mean, in today's world, if you don't have at least, at a minimum 3 spots to get action in, you are really hurting yourself. 

4* Money Maker OMAHA 

Taking UAB. Old Dom took a 65-60 win back on the 3rd. Rapid revenge in effect. You know I don't trust teams shooting 40% on the road. 4* Money Maker UAB 

Taking HOFSTRA. Random trend of the day, 11-1 ATS last 12 on Thursday nights, Elon 4-17 ATS last 21 Thursday nighters! Look. Hofstra is tough. Should be angry off loss at Northeastern. That ended a nice 16 game win streak (11-4 ATS 1 no line) How about 17-5 ATS on the season for the Blue Hens. 4* Money Maker HOFSTRA 

Taking NORTHEASTERN. These guys won by 20 on the road already over W&M. 2-9 on the road. Huskies have put up 90 in 2 of the last 3 vs Tribe. Not a vintage 3pt shooting team for William and Mary. We'll lay the big number. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN

Taking AIR FORCE. Just like this team. Tough little bunch. Wyoming 1-7 in conference and 0-7 on the road. 7-21-1 ATS last 29 for the Cowboys overall. AF with a decent 14-6 ATS run at home. I can't see them scoring more than 53 here. 4* Money Maker AIR FORCE 

Taking TCU. This is where the Horned Frogs win. Home, 10-1 here. Defense steps up. Last 2 road games, 90-84 points allowed. Last 2 at home, 50-61 allowed. Oklahoma State 3-12 ATS last 15 overall. 4* Money Maker TCU 

Taking UCLA. Ok. So this is one is probably my least favorite play today. But I have liked what I have seen out of UCLA since the coaching change. They have won 3 of their last 4 at home. Win margins of 21,15,22. Been on the road for 5 of their last 7 games. So this is a big spot for them. I think they take care of business by 10. 4* Money Maker UCLA 

Taking the BUCKS. Think this Wizards team is toast. Bucks can win this one by 20. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BUCKS 

Taking BAYLOR. Have backed these guys a couple times. They are a nice, underrated team. Very good. A nice 10-1 ATS run last 11 and still not getting any respect. Road team on a 7-1 ATS run in the series. I wrote in a previous Texas write up my feelings on Shaka and how I think he is on the hot seat. Texas 6-13 ATS last 19 at home, no business laying any kind of points. 4* Money Maker BAYLOR BEARS 

Going OVER the total. Can't lay the huge number with the Leafs, so we will go OVER. Haven't really had a good run of Puck Lines so we will just stick to out 6-3 play-out. 4* Total Money OVER 

Taking GEORGIA TECH. Have this game at PK and we are getting a few points. Home team 4-1 ATS run and dog 5-2 ATS last 7. Tech 10-4 ATS run vs ACC teams and 28-13 ATS last 41 at home. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA TECH 

Taking FRESNO. So they won at Utah State 78-77 back on January 9th. We saw a 3pt and OT game last year. So these guys are pretty familiar with each other. Just going with the home team. I do think that Utah State is the better team. But winning on the road, at a good conference foe, is a tough one. Even just laying a bucket. The ever smallest of small home dog tonight. 4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE 

4* Money Maker EDMONTON OILERS 

Taking KANSAS STATE. So, we normally jump right on an 'unranked' over a 'ranked'. Huge rivalry between these two obviously. But I have failed with Kansas lately. This team just does not seem like it's usual elite self. Now, maybe they come in and roll here. Hate the short number. But K-State is a tough team. Gonna come down to the Wildcats defense. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

Taking MARQUETTE. Will grab what I think is one of those way to easy looking games. I like St John's, I'm a fan. Going back to Boo Harvey, Malik Sealy even as a 10 year old with Chris Mullin and Walter Berry. But I am not buying them to step up on the road vs Marquette. I think these guys can put together a deep NCAA run. Golden Eagles with huge revenge after SJU rolled them by 20 to start the year. 4* Money Maker MARQUETTE

Taking NC STATE. 24 points last game. Forget. Have to play State just on principle. 4* Money Maker NC STATE 

4* PL Money TB LIGHTNING 

Taking MICHIGAN STATE. Will fire on these guys off a loss. I am not buying the Illini off a win. Sparty will be angry and focused tonight. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN STATE 

4* Money Maker on LOUISVILLE. Short little write up as we return from AC. Everyone talking about VT allowing 24 points. Yes, what an effort. But let's not forget they shot only 35% themselves. Losing to NC, who they already knocked off during a 6 game win streak doesn't mean UL isn't good. 

Taking the RAMS. Well. Another profitable season ends. Couldn't repeat as the #1 NFL capper on this site, but still put money in our pockets. And with our nice performance in College Football, we had a successful football run for 6 months. We'll take it. - Super Bowl Sunday. Going with the dog. You can grab the points, but if I am taking 2.5 or 3, I think the Rams win outright. Now. I thought KC and the Saints would be playing today. What really gets me with the Rams was their comeback. Down double digits in the dome. I mean, you can find pictures of concrete falling the place was rocking so much. You come back on the road, vs that QB and HC. You are a good team. I don't care how young your coach or quarterback is. That is some good coaching and play calling - executed by the players. The Patriots Legacy is unmatched. I know it is tough going against this HOF combo on the sidelines. Everyone though that NE was dead with the way they played on the road, and more importantly, some of those losses. For me, it is simple. I think the Rams are the better team. They were more consistent on the year. They have the better defense. I think their defense is going to be the difference maker. Nothing left to be said. Suh and Donald are the key for us. And NE has nothing like that on their DL. Rams are 14-3 the last 2 years on the road (including playoffs). - The Patriots could easily be 8-0 in the Super Bowl, or just as easy 0-8. Those 8 Super Bowl margin of victories- 3-3-3-3-4-4-6-8  --- 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

4* Money Maker TORONTO RAPTORS

4* Money Maker VILLANOVA

Taking IRVINE. Nice revenge spot for 10pt home loss a couple weeks back. Good scheduling spot as Long Beach just played at Hawaii Thursday night, and lost, their 4th straight after beating Irvine. 4* Money Maker IRVINE 

Taking PEPPERDINE. Have these guys a tad better and we are getting a bucket. A 13-3 ATS run vs WCC teams for the Waves is a nice trend. Pacific in off a game where they scored 42. Not shocking though as if we take 74-70 win over Portland, they couldn't crack 60 in 3 of their last 4. 4* Money Maker PEPPERDINE

Taking MINNESOTA. Denver comes in hot winning 5 straight including a big 136-122 win over the Rockets. Hitting the road in a b2b spot off a tough opponent, maybe a let down here. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES 

Taking TENNESSEE. Have this game at 14 points- small value play on Vols. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE 

Going UNDER here. Missouri State has gone Under in 7 straight and 8 of 9. Northern Iowa shoots 40%. 4* Total Money UNDER 

Taking MARIST. Fave on a 11-4 ATS run. I have this number at almost 6. 4* Money Maker MARIST RED FOXES

Taking DETROIT. Clippers come in off OT loss to rival Lakers. Before that, lost at home to lowly Hawks. Now back on the road after that 1-2 home stand and before that another 4 game road trip. Fatigue looking like a problem. Raptors in a back tomorrow for LAC as we will look to Toronto in that spot also. 4* Money Maker DETROIT PISTONS 

Taking TEXAS STATE. 3rd straight road game for Arlington. Both teams in off road losses. But with UTSA hitting 38% from the field, will side with home team. 4* Money Maker TEXAS STATE 

Taking UTAH STATE. Let's not get excited with the 5-3 UNLV conference record. That was against Mountain West bottom feeders. Back to back 17 point losses for the Rebels. We had Nevada beating them last game. And San Diego State took care of business before that. UNLV wants to run but we have seen how that played out the last 2 weeks. 4* Money Maker UTAH STATE 

Taking DELAWARE. Not sure where this number is from. Maybe, William & Mary is -3. I'll take the extra bucket value. Tribe had lost 5 straight before beating Drexel. Just don't think they are worthy of this number. 4* Money Maker DELAWARE 

Taking CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE. Have this rated at nearly 7. 4* Money Maker CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE 

Taking VIRGINIA. Yes, big number. Big! - But. We see they have covered -21.5 vs Wake, -19.5 vs Marshall, -21.5 William & Mary, -35 vs Morgan State, -20 vs Mid Ten State, -39 vs Coppin, -25.5 vs Towson and failed to cover 26.5 (19) vs George Washington. Canes 0-4 in true road games (2-2 neutral) including losses by 14 at Penn 17 at Louisville and 20 at Syracuse. Miami on a 9-25 ATS run while VA is nearly opposite at home going 20-7-1 ATS last 28. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA 

Taking EVANSVILLE. Pair of ugly teams right now. Purple Aces with 4 straight losses and 5 of 6. Valpo with 3 straight losses and 4 of 5. Valpo banged up though. Tough to win on the road when you are having trouble cracking 60 points. 4* Money Maker EVANSVILLE 

Taking DRAKE. Like this bunch. You should know that already, have been on them several times this season. Always bringing their lunch to game-day. Hard working team. 15-5-1 ATS run last 21, 6-1-1 ATS last 8 on the road. Beat Valpo by 11 on the road, Beat Bradley by 17 on the road. Lost in OT at Evansville. Lost at Northern Iowa by 3. Heck, beat San Diego in OT on a neutral. Beat New Mexico on a neutral. Won at Wisc-Milwaukee by 15. Neutral win over North Dak State. Lost on a neutral to Iowa State by 9, down 4 at half. Drake 4-1 ATS last 5 in the series. 4* Money Maker DRAKE 

Taking COASTAL CAROLINA. Coastal with 4 straight wins, 3 by double digits. Have this line almost double this number. Maybe cause ULL has gone over in 14 of their last 17 on the road and play zero defense. 4* Money Maker COASTAL 

Taking OKLAHOMA. Have this with them as 4 points better. Plus, we have double revenge. And, the fact we cashed Baylor as a Best Bet over these guys and Sooners were smoked by 30, 77-47 last time out. West Va on a 2-8 SU run. 1-5 ATS last 6. Sooners 7-0-2 ATS run on the road. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA 

Taking KENT STATE. Maybe a sucker line and I guess we are going for the low hanging fruit. A 14-3 ATS run in the series has us eyeing the Flashes. 4* Money Maker KENT STATE

Taking WESTERN ILLINOIS. Nice little revenge spot for the home team. Postponed due to weather, the travel doesn't help North Dakota. I know they are from North Dakota but man, those were some cold temps out in the mid-west! No Dak with 3 straight losses in conference play. Looking at common foes so far. Both beat Denver. Western won at So Dak by 6, No Dak lost at home by 14. Fort Wayne, a 29 point win for WIU at home, an 11pt home loss for UND. They both loss to Omaha, So Dak St, No Dak St and Oral Roberts. Will lay it with the home team in a better spot. 4* Money Maker WESTERN ILLINOIS 

Taking GONZAGA. I know that BYU plays these guys tough at home. 8 of their 9 losses this year on the road. But the 1 at home, 76-62 to Houston. What sticks out to me is the losses when they step up even on the road. 19 at San Fran, 22 at St Mary's, 22 at Miss State, 16 at Nevada. How about a pair of losses vs Weber, losing by 10 and Illinois State 3 in OT. This is not one of those vintage BYU teams. Zaga lost to the Vols and then were picked apart their next game vs NC- both on the road. No harm in those losses. This line isn't high or teens or in the 20s. I'll lay it. 4* Money Maker GONZAGA 

Taking RIVERSIDE. Poly one of the worse teams in the lands. 0-5 in conference, 0-9 on the road. They have played 2 OT games at home. That is about as good as things have been for them. I have said this before. Road team barely shooting 40% on the year - Not wining many games scoring a little more than 60ppg. UCR 6-1 ATS last 7 vs Big West. 4* Money Maker UC RIVERSIDE HIGHLANDERS 

Taking DELAWARE. Will grab the Blue Hens even as short road faves. They beat up on the low level CAA teams. And, sitting at 3-6 in conference play, Elon rates a low level squad. Blue Hens 6-3 in CAA play and have beaten Elon by 12-7-15 the last 3 meetings. 4* Money Maker DELAWARE 

Taking NORTH TEXAS. Worth taking a shot on these guys. Already with road wins at Hawaii, Indiana State and New Mexico. Revenge for last year's home loss, and OD has won 8 straight in the series. Different NT team though. 6 guys in double figures. 6-2 for NT, 6-3 for OD in conference play. Grabbing the points. 4* Money Maker NORTH TEXAS 

Taking TENNESSEE TECH. Now, normally I am sliding into ugly teams like this in late February, not late January. But Tenn Tech has been pretty profitable lately. They just covered 3 straight on the road as big dogs 10 (outright), 9, 17.5 Then covered as 21 and 5.5. At home, 3 games with lines of +/- 1. So, not getting 9. We have won with Peay a few times already this year. In this spot though, I am taking the home pups who have won 3 straight in the series, and are 12-2 ATS last 14 vs Peay.  Ten Tech on a 12-3 ATS run in Ohio Valley play. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TECH 

4* Total Money UNDER Hawks/ Kings 

Taking AIR FORCE. So, Air Force beats these guys by 14 at home, and now are getting double digits? Sign me up. These guys beat UNLV. Led Nevada at the half. Beat Boise. I think we are getting a couple extra points based off that big win for them. 4* Money Maker AIR FORCE  

Taking BUFFALO. Like last night on the ice, we will take the b2b team vs a team that hasn't played since the 19th. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO SABRES 

Taking DRAKE. I just like these guys. They are a little under the radar in my opinion. Drake 20-6-1 ATS last 27 at home. Everyone remembers that 28-7 and 17-1 Redbirds team from a couple years ago. I see this game shaping up for Ill State like their Bradley road game, 85-68. Drake shooting nearly 51% at home and I think this is a 10pt win for us. 4* Money Maker DRAKE BULLDOGS 

Taking LOUISVILLE. Huge game for UL. Can't look ahead. They need to take care of business here as they have been- winning 5 straight after that OT loss at Pitt. Ranked NC, VT, Duke, Florida State lay ahead. I can't find one edge for Wake other than who Louisville has to play next. And, having knocked off NC on the road already, they have to be feeling good about heading home. Wake is really struggling in all aspects. Barring UL laying a total egg, this should be at minimum, a 12-15 point win. 4* Money Maker LOUISVILLE 

Taking NICHOLIS STATE. Have this at 3, and we can get it at PK. 4* Money Maker NICHOLIS STATE 

Taking NEW ORLEANS. Have this line a bit higher. Northwestern State will have 20+ losses this year. 37% shooting overall. 1-8 on the road. Should be a 13 point win for the home team. 4* NEW ORLEANS 

Taking NIAGARA. My numbers have this as the home team favored - yet, we can get 2 points. I'll take it. 4* Money Maker NIAGARA 

Taking VIRGINIA TECH. VT has taken care of bad teams this year. And the Hurricanes qualify as a bad team. Miami has beaten Wake so far in ACC play. Not even competitive in most of these losses. I will be shocked if they stay within 10. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA TECH 

Taking EVANSVILLE. Tough taking a team with 3 straight losses and 4 in their last 5 games. I get it. Especially when we had Bradley the other night in their 37 point effort after putting up 85 the game before. But, 37-57-50-60 shows me the Braves have some trouble scoring on the road. Favorite on a 10-4 ATS run while Bradley helps the cause with a 2-7 ATS run of their own. 4* EVANSVILLE 

Taking UMBC. Again. I have these guys as home faves in this spot, and yet, we are getting a bucket. Top teams in the America East. Home dog and easy call. 4* Money Maker UMBC 

Taking IOWA STATE. So I have this at 15 points. This is not a vintage West Virginia team by any stretch of the definition. Cyclones not a bad bunch. 3 losses in Big 12 play. Their first, loss by 3 at Baylor after beating Kansas. OK, a let-down game. Then a 1pt home loss the next game to Kansas State. Finally, Kansas gets their revenge by 4 at home.. Just not high on West Va even if they hang tough in their games. 5 straight losses then an upset of Kansas. Then 2 more losses coming into tonight. At home, maybe WVA would get a look. Not in this spot though. 4* Money Maker IOWA STATE 

Taking RADFORD. I try not to include a lot of small schools in daily packages. Some people can't get down on them and the lines come out late and there is sometimes a lot of movement. Like this game. Saw this opening at 10 and now 7. I have Radford 10 points better, so now we fire. 4* Money Maker RADFORD 

Taking NEVADA. After a couple sluggish games, the Wolfpack unleashed on Colorado State. 100-60 as CSU tried to outgun their opponents. I get UNLV will be pumped for a Top 10 coming to town. But Reno has won 3 straight here. As much as the home dog wants to make as statement, the in-state rivals from the Biggest Little City in the World want their own statement. Look- I think Nevada, Michigan State and Tennessee are all Final Four teams. They can take it to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Nevada by 20 here if the Rebels try to push the pace. They just won't be able to keep up. Too good, too deep. Wolfpack! 4* Money Maker NEVADA 

Taking DAYTON. I know this is a big number when we look at the fact that St Joe's has been on a 12-1 ATS run in this series. But even with that trend, how do you trust a team shooting 40% from the field vs a team shooting 50%. Joe's 1-6 on the road, 2-5 in conference. In off 8pt loss at Penn. Lost at STL by 11, lost at Duquesne by 1, lost at St Bonnie by 26. I've seen other power numbers that have this at 13. I have it at 11. It's a value play at a bare minimum. 4* Money Maker DAYTON 

Taking the FLYERS. Kicking myself as I write this seeing Philly up 2-1 on Monday night. Tough spot for Winnipeg traveling. So after the break we have the Flyers, clearly shaking off some rust and ready to score. Rangers suit up having not played since January 19th. Philly or nothing. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA FLYERS 

Taking the JETS. I know. A back to back spot. Yes- a tough spot for Winnipeg playing on East Coast. But, Bruins have been off since the 19th. Playing the old, try to shake the rust off. Getting a nice number, have to back the dog in this spot. 4* Money Maker WINNIPEG

Taking KANSAS. So doing a Sunday podcast with Tony T and I was ready to move on Texas. Just think Shaka is on the hot seat and this is the proverbial 'circle the wagon' need a win game with Kansas in off loss at Kentucky. I said I don't think Shaka is a could recruiter. His best years at VCU and Texas have been with out coaches players. Hanging tough and losing won't get them to the NCAAs. At this price, I have to back the Bill Self Jayhawks. Kansas 38-3 off a loss since 2013-14 season. Laying a point, I can not buck that number. 4* Money Maker KANSAS

Taking LIPSCOMB. Have the Bison rated as the fave in this spot and I am getting points instead. 4* Money Maker LIPSCOMB

Taking TENNESSEE. Just think Vols are better team. We see Tennessee 6-2 ATS last 8 and South Carolina 3-8 ATS last 11 at home. Vols 7-3 ATS last 10 games here. When your leading scoring is shooting 29% from 3 and 39% from the floor, points will be tough to come by. Vols just a tough team all around. Everyone with a chip on their shoulder. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE 

Taking NORTHERN ILLINOIS. So after a big upset win over Buffalo, the Huskies promptly laid an egg in 67-65 loss to Akron. Now they get Ohio who comes in on a 2-8 ATS run their last 10. NIU on a 8-3 ATS run their last 11, 7-1 ATS last 8 at home, and 7-2 ATS last 9 vs MAC foes. Ohio comes in off 2 home wins. Prior to that, we saw 13pt loss at Toledo, 14pt to Kent and 19pt loss at Bowling Green. Think this shapes up to a double digit win by home team. 4* Money Maker NORTHERN ILLINOIS 

Taking BAYLOR. Like the way these guys have playing. Crashing the offense glass and hitting 3s. Raise your hand if you had these guys at 4-2 in Big 12 play ending January? A new guy seems to step up every game. That is how you win with balanced offensive efficiency. Just too many points to give a hot team with a balanced attack. 5* Best Bet BAYLOR BEARS 

Taking OREGON. Let's look at this 1-5 run by Washington State. Losses by 13,12,18,32 and 18. Lone win at home over Cal. 0-4 on the road. 4* Money Maker OREGON

4* Money Maker LIBERTY

Taking QUINNIPIAC. St Peter's 1-9 on the road. Every common conference foe they have faced so far, Q has taken care of business. Peter's, not so much. Quinny with big revenge motivation as St Pete has won 4 straight in the series. Double digit win for the home team today. 4* Money Maker QUINNIPIAC
