Taking HARVARD here. Not sure what I am missing here. Yeah, Princeton undefeated in the Ivy. But Harvard is 10-2 with a 1pt loss vs Princeton and a 3pt loss at Columbia. These guys are clearly the class of the league. And they will probably face off next Sunday in the Ivy's first tournament championship. But I can't see Harvard saying, yeah. Let Princeton beat us again so we can go surprise them in the tournament. 4* Money Maker HARVARD 

Taking LOY-CHI here. So, like the Atlantic Sun Tournament, we will back the lower seed being favored over the seed above them. Again. That is basic play for me. Much like when we see the 'ranked' team on the road as a dog to some unranked team. But as I look at this years game between these 2, I see something in our favor. Southern Illinois shot 50% in their first win on the road, and 56% at home to close out the regular season. Which, even hitting 56% they won by a bucket. On the year these guys make 43% of their shots. I can't see this shooting continuing during the tournament. Loy-Chi again is the 5 seed, yet has much better odds than their 4 seed counterparts this afternoon. 4* Money Maker LOYOLA CHICAGO 

Taking MURRAY STATE here. Coming right back on the 7 seed. What a terrible night for us as both Murray and Tennessee State fail to cover in OT for us yesterday. But I go back to what I thought before the games started. Why are the 7 and 8 seed favored? Because they are the better clubs that's why. Now Morehead is the 3 seed but I don't see much difference between Murray's 9-8 conference play and the Eagles 10-6. Morehead did the game in early February 101-100 at home. Won't be shocked if Murray takes the +140 on the ML in this game. As we saw last night, Jonathan Stark can win a game by himself. Doesn't hurt that he also has a 2nd OVC 1st team selection in Terrell Miller to help pick up the slack. 5* Best Bet MURRAY STATE 

Taking BRADLEY here. Braves won both meetings this year. And let's be honest. How can we back Drake? They are 1-11 on the road this year. Even getting a couple buckets doesn't justify a dog play in my eyes. They are a 1-7 ATS run while Bradley on the opposite going 7-0 ATS. Braves have covered 5 straight in the series. 4* Money Maker BRADLEY BRAVES 

Taking PORTLAND STATE here. We get a little revenge angle working in our favor as Northern Colorado came to town back in December and whipped us by 14 when we were 6.5pt faces. I do not expect 19% from the FT line or 20% from 3 tonight. Nor do I expect us to hit 36% of our shots when we normally stroke around 47. And I don't expect Norther Colorado to shoot the lights out at 47% when on the season they barely eclipse 42%.  Portland State 6-1 ATS last 7 in the series and 7-1 ATS last 8 trips here. The road team and underdog both have trends working in their favor. 4* Money Maker PORTLAND STATE 

Taking the ISLANDERS here. The real question is how can we not take New York. Islanders have been off since Saturday. And mark my words, they are chomping at the bit to get back on the ice. Losing 7-0 last time out? That's like losing 16-0 in MLB or 54-0 in NFL. That is a beat-down. Game 4 of a long road trip. But off a long break, this is a game they must have. They have been pretty good since the coaching change and I expect a big performance tonight. 8* Sure Shot NY ISLANDERS 

Taking SACRAMENTO STATE here. Well, well, well. Look who is popping up on ugly dog night. Our beloved Hornets. And why not . 7-1 ATS last 8 on the road and as underdogs. They are also on a 6-1 ATS road underdog run. Now, North Dakota is still fighting to secure the 1 seed. So there is really no room to knock them. Their numbers of late are just as impressive as Sacramento's. But we did battle them to OT in our first meeting. No. Dak also has a revenge game vs Portland State on deck who throttled them by 37 the game before our OT affair. 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO STATE 

Taking UTEP here. Not really sure why I am not going +130 ML here since I said to take North Florida +900 .. that being said, UTEP playing great lately. 5 straight wins. More importantly. They are off a perfect 4-0 road swing. That is a great accomplishment. They have really turned things around. Now OD is 11-5 in conference play like our Miners. But I have to grab the home dogs just based on their output. OD shoots just 41% from the field. UTEP at nealry 47. OD the tougher scoring defense. OD 3-7 ATS last 10 as faves. UTEP on a 11-0 ATS run.  I just think that we will get more uglier shots to fall tonight. 4* Money Maker UTEP 

Taking NORTH FLORIDA here. Going to sprinkle some ML +400 here also. Osprey's swept the series this year winning by 11 on the road and 6 at home. Now they are getting a huge number. I know the first inkling is to say. Well, it is tough to beat a good team 3 times. I get it. But North Florida is really on a mission here. They won the regular season last year. Then Gulf Coast bounced them on their own floor by 33! We did cash Lipscomb opening round, but we are the big dogs tonight. 10* Money-Bomb NORTH FLORIDA 

Taking NASHVILLE tonight. Montreal 4-1 their last 5. But the way I look at it, they are playing with fire 3 OT wins and a SO win. If we go back 3 games further we see a 4-4 run where the Canadiens drop the first 3 of 4 and tallied just 3 goals in those losses. Now you have the Predators coming in scoring goals like taking candy from a baby. 25 goals last 5 games. Tough to win when you can't score and the other team is an over machine pumping in goals at will. 4* Money Maker NASHVILLE 

Taking HOLY CROSS here. I did a little e-zine for March Madness with a few other cappers this year. One of the things I told readers was this. Avoid teams coming in on slumps to their conference tournaments. And look for a team 'peaking' at the right time. Well, Navy has dropped 4 straight. Holy Cross, has is 3-2 their last won. (Won 2 out of 3). Now, not sexy at all. But when you beat the 3 seed by 16, have a little let-down game, then win 2 straight before falling in OT by 3 to the 2 seed, you seem to be trending in the right direction in my eyes. Navy won at home by 13 in mid-January after HC won by a point to start the month. Let's not forget Holy Cross won this tournament last year. 4* Money Maker HOLY CROSS 

Taking RADFORD here. I think this will be an ugly affair. Radford lost by 3 on the road and in OT at home after being down 37-12 at half-time! 37-12. That shows me some heart and no quit mentality. Also, for a team like Liberty that went 14-4 in conference, doesn't this line seem a little light considering a 13-17 Radford record? 4* Money Maker RADFORD 

Taking ASHEVILLE here. You know I am not a fan of taking big faves like this, especially in early tournament time games. But NCA is the class of the league. The defense should take care of business and we will pull away for the cover. 4* Money Maker UNC ASHEVILLE 

opinion DETROIT TIGERS

opinion Red Sox

Taking MURRAY STATE here. Again in the OVC the lower seed is favored. 7 Murray over 6 Tenn Tech. What is going on here? Personally, I think the Racers underachieved by not winning their side of the conference this year. Tenn Tech scored a 4pt win back in January when Murray shot 34% from the field. Not going to win many road games shooting like that. Plus, the Racers are limping in having dropped 3 straight. Normally, I would be fading this kind of action. But as I have said before in spots like this. When I see the perceived better, or 'ranked' higher team in the dog role, I know the numbers are on my side to roll with the fave. 5* Best Bet MURRAY STATE 

Taking ROBERT MORRIS here. Nearly went ML +160. Obviously I am thinking we are winning this outright. Not sure who takes a dog to lose by 3. Both teams on nice win streaks coming in. But. This line looks a bit low considering that this is a 2/7 match-up. Morris is 13-18 on the year, and LIU has that 20 wins after their names. These 2 split this years games with Morris winning by 4 on the road in early February, and LIU by 11. This line has come down and we are taking the dog for a walk. 4* Money Maker 

Grabbing UMBC here. These guys played Saturday to a 94-90 OT win by New Hampshire. That was some payback for UMBC's 105-103 OT win a month before. Safe to say, we should see some points, and get a game that should be pretty close. Baltimore City obviously can shoot the rock as they are at 39% from 3 and 46% overall FG. 4* Money Maker UMBC RETRIEVERS 

Taking TENNESSEE STATE here. This is a nice experienced team from last year. They went 20-10, 11-5 in OVC play last year. I thought they would be better than they performed this year. But this is a talented bunch. McCall is the OVC DPOY for the second straight year. The Tigers are the 8th seed, yet are favored here over 5 seed SEMO. A flat out no-brainer for me when I see things like that. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE STATE 

Taking the BLUES here. 6th straight roadie for the Oilers, and 3rd game in 5 nights. Blues looking to muster some offense before hitting the road. Big game for them as they are barely ahead of LA for the final playoff spot. STL needs to end this 3 game slide in a hurry. 4* Money Maker STL BLUES

Taking WASHINGTON here. Just like these guys better than NYR. Will ignore their poor numbers vs Rangers. Both teams in off identical 5-2 losses in their last game. Washington just picked up some serious defensive help with the trade for Shattenkirk. I look for a little Caps revenge from their loss a week and a half ago against New York. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON 

Taking AMERICAN here. These two split the season with each winning on the others home court. American won at Army 61-58 and Army won 53-49. So we have 2 games decided by 7 points. And the line is 7. This is the Patriot League. So when I see nearly identical conference records, 5-13 American, 6-12 Army, I don't see this much of a difference. American is in off 2 road wins and playing some good ball. Army had won 3 straight before dropping their season finale vs Lehigh. Will grab the dog in this 8/9 match-up. 4* Money Maker AMERICAN U

Taking KANSAS here. Nearly made this a Top 10* Money-Bomb. But I really try to avoid big faves like this. Yes, we cash Louisville yesterday as a double digit fave. So why again tonight? Well, we have seen just how bad Oklahoma is going 4-12 in conference, and 10-18 overall. Add in the Sooners are 1-8 on the road and we are getting a recipe of success together. Kansas looking to lock up a 1 seed and in their final home game, I expect peak performance from all. Fans and players alike! - Just can't see Kruger's bunch putting up much of fight here. 8* Sure Shot KANSAS 

Taking the KINGS here. Ok. Normally my ice play is based on some trends and scheduling quirks. And speaking of schedules. As much as rest is a plus, I think this is too long break. We'll grab LA who are in a desperate grab to reach the playoffs. 4* Money Maker LA KINGS 

Taking LIPSCOMB here. A little A-Sun tourney flavor tonight. Going against NJIT as I think they are ready to wrap up their disappointing season. Last year as a 2 seed they were upended in the first round. Might be easy to think they will rally around that with a couple starters back. But the fact is this team is 3-11 in conference play and 2-14 on the road. Those wins, over Stetson who is also 3-11 in conference play and sits behind NJIT, and a 4pt win over Idaho State, on a neutral court, as 7pt faves. They do come in with 2 straight wins. 1 over said Stetson who they swept. And their only other conference win, over SC Upstate. Now, Upstate was off a OT loss over top dogs Gulf Coast. They needed to rally for 52 points in the 2nd half to even force OT. So safe to say they were spent as clearly evident that NJIT scored 51 in the second half after being down 16 to win 88-87. Lipscomb comes in 11-3 in conference play with a loss to top seed Gulf Coast, and getting swept by North Florida. North Florida were regular season champs last season and were expected to be the team to beat. After an up and down year, they are 7-7 in conference. But they still have talent so I won't hold that against our Bison. Bison like to push it (85ppg) and I can't see NJIT 41% FG shooting holding up to make this a game. 5* Best Bet LIPSCOMB BISON 

Taking LOUISVILLE here. Alright. Let's close out the week with a nice little home-fave here on Sunday. As I said on my video, a couple tough losses to end Saturday. I would rather take a couple rough ones like that now instead during conference tournaments coming up. Ok. So we are on UL. Easy fade of Syracuse off that last second win over Duke. They probably have punched their NCAA ticket. Cards off NC loss. So they want to get straight in a hurry. This line tells me everything I need to know about these 2 clubs. SU is 9-7 in conference play, UL 10-5, yet are pretty big favorites this afternoon. Orange 2-8 ATS last 10 on the road and 1-8-1 ATS  last 10 trips into Louisville. 4* Money Maker LOUISVILLE 

Taking the BRUINS here. Had these guys a few times since their coaching change. And why not. A nice 5-1 run will put money on our pockets. Boston has won 7 of 10, Dallas on the opposite side of things losing 7 of 10. Bruins 4-1 their last 5 trips visiting the stars. 4* Money Maker BOSTON BRUINS 

Taking NORTHERN ARIZONA again. We cashed with an out-right win on Thursday night with this bunch. And are back on the ugly dogs again. Lumberjacks posted a 7pt home victory over these guys already this year. Ok, I see the 'revenge' angle for the Vikings. But double digits? Come on. Portland State is 6-9 in Big Sky play, NAU 5-10. Are they that much better. Stop. NAU now 6-2 ATS last 8 overall. Road team 3-1-1 ATS and dog 4-0-1 ATS last 5 in the series, Northern Arizona a perfect 4-0 ATS here at Portland State and on a 7-0-1 ATS run last 8 in the series. Vikings 0-5 ATS last 5 as faves, 0-4 of those at home. 4* Money Maker NORTHERN ARIZONA 

Taking SOUTHERN UTAH here. We cashed with these guys on Thursday and will back them again tonight. Right off the back I don't like the CS foul-shooting. 3 of their top 4 guys under 70%. Obviously I think this line is a bit inflated and expecting a closer game. And when you start bricking FTs, it gives our dog a shot at an outright win. CS Sac won by 5 over us back in mid January. But they needed a blistering 56% from the floor to do so. I will take a stab with the dog. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN UTAH 

Taking KENT STATE here. Ohio won by 18 back in January. But I think Kent gets its revenge tonight. Golden Flashes 7-3 ATS last 10 in the series and 4-1 ATS last 5 here at home against the Bobcats. Kent the best rebounding MAC club and I don't any answer for Jimmy Hall with Ohio's best player (Campbell) out. Both teams come in on win streaks, but I have to grab the home team. 4* Money Maker KENT GOLDEN FLASHES 

Taking IDAHO here. So, Weber won by 25 back in January. And it's basically a pk. Interesting. Sign me up for the reveging home team. Weber on a 1-10 ATS run in Big Sky play while Vandals on a 4-1 ATS run at home and 8-3 ATS in conference. 4* Money Maker IDAHO 

Taking PEAY here. Now, we cashed with the Govs last game. Both teams closing out the regular OVC season. Yes, SE battling for a higher seed. But as I said in Peay's write-up over Tenn-Martin on Thursday, these guys are a tough team. They won the OVC tourney last year as a low seed. Road team and underdog on 4-1-1 ATS runs in the series. Governors 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road and SE Missouri State really doesn't have favorable ATS numbers as a home fave. Dogging it up again in the Ohio Valley. 4* Money Maker AUSTIN PEAY

Taking YOUNGSTOWN STATE. I will be the first to say. When I see a pair of crap teams like this getting together, and the team with less wins overall and in conference play laying points, I am scratching my head. My first instinct is to actually lay it. It seems a little to good to be true getting points from an 8 win team. Penguins won by 3 at home a month ago. They are 4-1 ATS last 5. Youngstown 6-1 ATS last 7 here in Cleveland State. Road team 10-4-2 ATS last 16 and underdog on 12-3-2 ATS run in the series. Cleveland State 7-15 ATS as a fave lately. Have to grab the points from an 8 win team. 4* Money Maker YOUNGSTOWN STATE 

Taking WOFFORD here. I have to say. This line looks a little fishy to me. I think they are begging us to take the Terriers. I get that Furman has the better conference record, 13-4 to 10-7. But Wofford won by 9 last month. Looking at past games I see 4,1,3,2 point games. How can we not take the points? Going back further we 21,20,24 and 13 point wins by Wofford. Terriers are on a roll. 11-2 ATS last 13 on the road, 10-2 ATS as a dog, 9-1 ATS as a road dog. 11-4 ATS in SoCon play. 7-2 ATS last 9 in the series and 6-2 ATS here at Furman. Paladins 23-8 ATS last 31 at home so they are no push-over. The crowd will be pumped for the final home game, and maybe I should just of left this off the ticket. But the numbers say we are a live dog here. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD TERRIERS 

Taking CALGARY here. I'll grab the Flames at this price. Calgary 7-3-2 last 12 trips to Florida and 5-2 their last overall meetings. Both clubs streaking of late 8-2 for the Panthers, 7-2-1 for the Flames. I'll grab the road dog though. 4* Money Maker FLAMES

Taking OTTAWA here. Carolina sent up the white flag with their trade and the players now the season is done. Senators battling for seed positioning. And while part of me thinks why is Carolina favored, the recent numbers don't add up. But there is the 13-3 record vs Ottawa that probably makes them a small home fave. Either way, I have to go with the hungry playoff team instead of team that sent up the white flag. 4* Money Maker OTTAWA 

Taking FAIRFIELD here. Both teams teams for that bye spot in conference tournament play. As I have said recently in my write ups. Let's look at the conference records here. Stags 9-9, Griffins 10-8. Stags out for revenge off double digit home loss back in early January. Fairfield 9-3 ATS last 12 on the road while Canisius is 6-13 ATS last 19 at home. 2-5 ATS last 7 as home faves. Stags 7-1 ATS last 8 vs Canisius and the road team has ripped off a 8-2-1 ATS run last 11. 4* Money Maker FAIRFIELD STAGS 

Taking BOSTON here. Now, I did lose with Kings PL the other night. But I just blindly back teams. I thought that was a good spot for them to cash a big payday. That being said, this line looks a little too good to be true in my eyes. I mean, Bruins have been playing better since their coaching change. LA just stumbling along. At this price, have to grab the dogs. 4* Money Maker BOSTON BRUINS 

Taking SOUTHERN UTAH here. Going ugly for sure with a team that has 5 wins on the season. But I am betting into numbers here, not the Thunderbirds as a whole. And the numbers say that Portland State, 1-5 ATS as faves, 0-4 ATS as home faves, are not up to the task tonight. Southern Utah with 3 conference wins, Portland State with 5. So is there really this much of a difference between these programs? Road team on a perfect 6-0 ATS run. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN UTAH 

Taking NORTHRIDGE here. Davis won by 3 last time they met. But the road team has cashed 5 straight in the series and the underdog 4 straight. CSN 9-4 ATS last 13 as road dogs. This is a start of a 3 game road swing for CSN, and I expect their best performance. 4* Money Maker CS NORTHRIDGE 

Taking NORTHERN ARIZONA. Yikes. I know, I know. Higgs, really with this crappy 7 win teams. I get it. It isn't pretty. But the points are too good for me to pass up. Sacramento has 10 wins. They have 3 more conference wins. They aren't some juggernaut. Lumberjacks 5-2 ATS last 7 in conference play. They are also 9-3 ATS last 12 here at Sacramento State. Road team 4-1 ATS last 5. We will take a late night run on the doggy. 4* Money Maker NORTHERN ARIZONA 

Taking TENN TECH here. Again. Looking over this conference I see a pair of team that are pretty equal to each other. 8-6 Tech, 9-5 State in conference play. Tech notched a 76-73 win last month at home. I'll take a shot with the points here. 4* Money Maker TENN TECH 

Taking AUSTIN PEAY here. Back to the OVC. Like our Murray pick, Tenn-Martin in a big spot. They face each other with what could be the West on the line. This could be a prime 'overlook' spot. Peay not a bad team, but not one that I think the Skyhawks are taking too serious. They had a 51-37 half-time lead on the road and won 85-79. Peay won the OVC tourney last year as a 6 seed and have 3 starters, and 10 total players back. So they know they can win against any OVC team. Road team 6-1 ATS last 7 and the Govs 4-1-1 ATS last 6 trips into Tennessee. 4* Money Maker AUSTIN PEAY 

Taking MURRAY here. These guys have revenge from a 1pt home loss a month ago as 8pt faves as they blew a 9pt half-time lead. Racers with zero room for error here. Last year they won the OVC West, but with tie-breakers were 6th in their tournament. They have to win out here. They want the bye. So, they have lost 4 games on the road in OT, plus 2 1pt losses. That is 6 games that even going 3-3 changes their record a bit. Murray is always one of the top 2 teams in OVC play and this year is no different. What is different is SEMST picked to finish last yet sitting strong at 8-6 in conference play. That being said, I just think that Murray is the more tested team and in a basic pk'em spot, have to go with the revenging club. 4* Money Maker MURRAY STATE 

Taking TORONTO here. Rangers 38-19 and on a 7-2 run are dogs against a 28 win team. Right off the bat that gets my attention, especially since NY is 8-2 their last 10 trips into Toronto. That being said, I have to go against the grain and take the home team here. 4* Money Maker TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Taking IUPUI here. You can grab the 2.5 if you want. But I think we win this outright. Ft Wayne 1-9 ATS last 10 on the road. Oh. and they crushed these guys by 30 (103-73) a month ago. And the line is what now? People are going to see 18 wins for Ft Wayne and 12 for Indy and think easy money. Well. Maybe it is. But sports-betting is never easy or it would be called stealing, not gambling. Big in-state rivals. Huge revenge. Also, in conference play these guys are nearly equal. Ft Wayne 7-7 Indianapolis 6-8. 4* Money Make IUPUI 

Taking LIU here. Ok.. a late add to the card today. I have been looking at this off and on for hours. For whatever it's worth, LIU is 11-2 ATS in their last 13 in conference play. But, these games get lined few and far between. That being said. MSM won by 2 back in December. I will say that MSM isn't afraid to hit the road to play early games (2-11 to start the year). The last 2 games have been decided by 5 total points. LIU has arguably the NEC's top player in F Jerome Frink. Have to take the points here. 4* Money Maker LIU

Taking NEVADA here. Yes. You know I like my conference dogs most of the time. But this line, to me, makes me think they want you on Boise. Wolfpack crushed these guys by 19 a month ago. Now, a small home fave. Nevada just seems like they are the better team here. I will be the first to say they let me down against the Aztecs. I really thought they would take care of San Diego State and they laid an egg on the road. But here they are, a game behind Colorado State and tied with Boise for 2nd place in Mountain West play. Boise with 3 more winnable games ahead. While Nevada still has as a season finale against Colorado State. They need this game more. 4* Money Maker NEVADA 

Taking the BISON here. I will be the first to say that I do not like this line at all. And in other spots I would be on the small home dog here. But North Dakota State is in a dog fight with South Dakota for the top seed here in Summit play both sitting at 10-4. Oral is in last with a 4-11 conference record and just 8 wins on the year. They are also on the outside looking in at a 8 team conference tournament. Yes, they could very well be highly motivated to make their conference tourney. But Oral has not be dominate in Summit play in nearly a decade. North Dakota State has won 2 of the last 3 conference tournaments. Obviously they are better team. The records speak to that. I just think at this short price, I have to go with a the better team and not a desperate team who hasn't played well for nearly four months. 8* Sure Shot NORTH DAKOTA STATE 

Taking E TENN ST here. What is up with this line people? Furman on top of the SoCon with a 13-3 record and a 13pt win over ETST just a month ago. Now, catching a touch-down on the road. Hmm. Have to grab the home team in what looks like a case of something being too good to be true. 4* Money Maker EAST TENNESSEE ST

Taking COLORADO STATE here. I had New Mexico back in January when they went on the road and won at CSU. That was a different team. That was a team that was just recently dealing with player losses. Well, take away the Rams next game after that loss and all they have done is go 8-1 SU/ATS with the lone loss by a 3pt (line 2) to Boise. Addition by subtraction I guess for Rams. Lobos no longer dominate at home with a 2-6 ATS mark their last 8. New Mexico also down a big scorer. I just think that Eustachy's bunch has rallied since January, and I can't see them ending this run before their tournament. 4* Money Maker COLORADO STATE 

Taking the KINGS PUCK LINE here. Never going to lay a number like this on the road. So I will go PL and look for a nice take back. Kings have been struggling lately scoring being shut out in 3 of their last 6 games. I think LA wins either way so why not think a 3-0 win is in sight? Avs have scored 2 or less in 7 straight games. LA 7-3 last 10 in the series. 4* Puck Line LA KINGS 

Taking DAVIDSON here. Richmond won the earlier meeting by a bucket as 11pt dogs. Now they are barely a home dog. Davidson 7-7 in conference, Spiders 9-5, both middling in A-10 play as they look up at 12-2 VCU and Dayton. Wildcats do have Dayton at home on deck.  But I can't really a look ahead spot when you are sitting in 8th place. You need every win. Davidson 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. 4* Money Maker DAVIDSON 

Taking the ISLANDERS here. Have to grab them in Game 1 of a monster 19 day road trip. It will only get tougher. 4* Money Maker NY ISLANDERS 

Taking the DEVILS here. So Ottawa is in 2nd place in the Atlantic while NJ pulls up 6th in the Metro. Senators just blanked the Devils 3-0 not a week ago here. A little revenge off that game, coupled with injuries have me thinking NJ gets it done here. 4* Money Maker NJ DEVILS 

Taking FAIRFIELD here. You lose by 40 to a team and I am nearly automatic grabbing you the next meeting. So here we are with the Stags. Monmouth has the regular season conference wrapped up. Maybe they are looking past Fairfield here. They have a tougher home game next vs Siena. Hawks just 2-6 ATS last 8 on the road while the Stags are 6-1 ATS last 7 as home dogs. 4* Money Maker FAIRFIELD 

Taking ARLINGTON here. So we have a pair of Sun Belt leaders as Arlington is 10-3 and Southern tied with Arkansas State at 10-4. But as I look at conference play, I see that Arlington has already knocked off the other top teams, Arkansas State and Georgia State (9-4). Georgia Southern has yet to play either. So what I see is a team that has beaten the lower tier teams of the Sun Belt. While the Mavericks have taken care of business against all comers. Arlington has won at Texas and St Mary's this year. Plus i can't discount this is the same team that won at Ohio State and Memphis last year, while losing at Texas in OT. So they have played and won, in hostile venues before. 4* Money Maker TEXAS ARLINGTON 

Taking the FLYERS here. So a team that is 10-15-2 on the road is favored over a 18-8-3 home team. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA FLYER

4* Money Maker NASHVILLE 

4* Money Maker WINNIPEG 

Going OVER the total here. Jets have been on a 18-6-4 over run last 27. 16-4-1 last 21, and 8-1-1 last 10 on the road. Will grab both the JETS and OVER as 4* plays. 

Taking BOSTON here. These guys are top 2 dogs in Patriot play. Bucknell 12-3, Boston 11-4. The difference is the Bison 70-59 home win a month ago. So we have a little revenge angle working from that recent get together. More importantly, Bucknell has owned the Terriers winning 6 straight over Boston dating backing to 2014. Boston has won 6 of 7 while Bucknells has dropped 2 of 3. These guys have won the regular season conference title 5 of the last 6 years. So you know they always have top conference talent. I just think the small home dog rates the edge here. 4* Money Maker BOSTON U

Taking PORTLAND STATE here. Ok. So like our other write up, we are looking for Montana to be looking ahead against Montana State in this spot. Vikings won by 9 over these guys about a month ago and now we are getting what I think is a nice little road number. Speaking of numbers, Portland State 7-2 ATS last 9 as road underdogs which helps the cause. While the Grizzles are 2-6-1 ATS last 9 overall, including 0-4-1 ATS run at home. The underdog is 5-1-1 ATS last 7 in the series. 4* Money Maker PORTLAND STATE 

Taking NIAGARA here. Having some luck in MEAC action lately with our dog selections. Here is another that doesn't look like much, but should come packing a nice bite with its bark. Siena has covered just 2 of their last 10 at home. They have road revenge game up next over conference beasts Monmouth. I can easily see them looking past the Purple Aces here enough for us to give them a scare and get us the cover. 4* Money Maker NIAGARA 

Taking TENNESSEE TECH here. We have a nice little revenge angle off a 74-59 home loss last month. Again, we look at a close conference record which tells me there guys aren't that far apart. Tenn Tech on a 6-2 ATS run as road underdogs. Jax State, just 2-9 ATS last 11 at home including 1-7-1 ATS here at home vs teams with losing records. Clearly they seem to not take teams seriously. 4* Money Maker TENN TECH

Taking SACRAMENTO STATE here. Yes we cashed with these guys their last road game. And yes, we are back on them again this afternoon. What I look to again is conference play. 7-6 for us, 8-6 for them. Not much of a difference. Hornets now 6-1 ATS last 7 overall while Montana State is 0-5-1 ATS their last 6. Oh, and lookie here. Montana State just happens to have a huge home revenge game up next against Montana. Wonder where they might be looking ahead to? 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO STATE 

Taking ST LOUIS here. We have STL on a 6-2 ATS run in the series which is nice. But what really grabs me is there recent play posting a 6-1 ATS run their last 7 games. Rams on the complete opposite of that going 1-6 ATS in the same span. STL has won 3 of their last 4. Looking at a 4-9 for STL and 5-8 for Fordham, there isn't much difference in conference play. And with this amount a points, I will grab the scrappy dog. 4* Money Maker ST LOUIS BILLIKENS 

Taking PENN here. A pair of 2-6 Ivy Conference teams doing battle. Brown won on the road last month by 12. Now they are a home dog? Seems a bit odd to me. We do know this though. Road team on a 11-4 ATS run. 4* Money Maker PENN 

4* Money Maker COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS

Taking KENT STATE here. I said at the beginning of the year Akron is probably a 25 win team. And they will probably close that number by the end of the month. That being said, I just think this is too many point for the Zips to be laying. Akron 2-6 ATS last 8 at home. The underdog is 6-2-1 ATS last 9 in the series. Golden Flashes 15-3 ATS last 18 as dogs of 7-12pts. Have to ride the trends here. 4* Money Maker KENT STATE 

Taking SACRAMENTO STATE here. I have to say. This series has played out that home team normally wins and wins by a decent margin. But I have to look at the way these 2 have played recently. Sac St has covered 5 of their last 6 in Big Sky play while Montana has gone 2-5-1 ATS last 8 in conference. These teams numbers aren't vastly different. I have to grab the points. 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO STATE 

Taking FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL here. When I see a team that is 2-10 in conference play, 2nd to last, favored over any team not below them, I have to grab them. So. Miss is a terrible offensive club. 38% from the field, 27% from 3. Golden Panthers 8-1 ATS last 9 as road faves. 4* Money Maker FIU 

Taking MICHIGAN here. So we have that old 'ranked' team again on the road. Pk or small dog. Doesn't matter. For me, how can you be sold on Wiscy? Especially on the road. They have gone to OT against Minnesota, Rutgers and Nebraska. I get they will be ready after a home loss to Northwestern. But, Wolverines played them tough just a few weeks ago in Madison. I also have to say. When the top 2 scorers for the road team aren't that good from the FT line, I have to think to myself. The way this line is, it should play out as a close game. And in that case, I will take the team that can hit its free throws. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN 

Taking MANHATTAN here. Had Siena last game against Monmouth. And they were absolutely crushed 102-82 at home. Easy to think hey, they bounce back and get that bad taste out of their mouths. I just don't think it is that easy. Down a point at the half and getting ambushed like that in the 2nd, at home no-less? You should be doing that damage, not the opposing team. Saints 1-8 ATS last 9 at home. Jaspers don't have great numbers working in their favor either. But again, this looks like a big number to cover and Manhattan can easily come out extremely flat here off that bigger game. 4* Money Maker MANHATTAN 

4* Money Maker OTTAWA SENATORS

Taking CAL POLY here. First. What a rough one last night. Are you kidding me with Pitt blowing an 11pt half-time lead and Bowling Green covering for 59 minutes. Uh. Those days hurt. But that just means we will be on the other side of some bounces tonight. So we will grab SLO tonight. We know the dog has covered in 5 straight in the series. CSN has conference leader Davis on deck. So maybe they look past this Mustangs team a little bit and squeeze in the back door. 4* Money Maker CAL POLY SLO 

Taking WOFFORD here. What's not to like about Wofford here? 10-1 ATS last 11 on the road that also translates to 10-1 ATS run as a road dog. 16-5 ATS last 21 overall. They scored a 19pt win last month over NCG. Terriers 5-2 ATS last 7 here vs Greensboro. 16-5-1 ATS last 22 in the series. And finally, Greensboro 1-6 ATS last 7. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD TERRIERS 

Taking BOISE here. You can grab the points, but I will go ML here. You can go see my January 17th free play video as we were all over New Mexico that game as 5pt dogs. Well, we get our Boise revenge tonight. Road team and underdog 5-1-1 ATS last 7 in this series. Looking for another dog outright. 4* Money Maker BOISE STATE 

Taking PITT here. So we have the fade train arriving in station as the Hokies are off a big home win over highly rated, and bitter in-state rival Virginia. We see 17-7 vs 14-11 and Pitt being 2-8 SU last 10 games. Yet, here they are, favored. VT did just lose Clark and that thins out their front court some. Which just happens to be a Pitt strength. 4* Money Maker PITT PANTHERS 

Taking BOWLING GREEN here. Following the trends. Road team and underdog on 7-3 ATS runs. Falcons also 5-1 ATS last 6 overall and playing at Western. Both of these teams with identical 5-7 conference records. BG had won b2b OT games and had a 1st half lead before Buffalo outscored them in the 2nd half 49-32. I just think this is a big line when neither team is that much better than the other. 4* Money Maker BOWLING GREEN 

Taking TEXAS STATE here. Should be a nice little battle in San Marcos tonight. But I will back the small dog who has shown they can not only play with, but beat the Red Wolves including winning each of the last 3 contests. 4* Money Maker TEXAS STATE 

Taking SIENA here. 21-5 vs 12-14 and only a couple points. - This isn't last year's Monmouth team. Beating UCLA, Georgetown, Notre Dame all with a bench full of fun antics that were great for the camera. They are 1-6 ATS last 7 on the road and are 8-13-1 ATS overall on the year. Siena was swept last year and I think they get that revenge tonight. 4* Money Maker SIENA 

Taking APPALACHIAN STATE here. As I have said before. Like yesterday taking SMU giving 5 to 'ranked' Cincy or, us taking points with Nevada against SDST. When things look to easy, they usually aren't. So we have 16-9, 9-3 tied atop the Sun Belt Georgian Southern Eagles now a dog, a DOG to Appy State who is 2-10 in conference play and has 7 wins on the year! Give me the home team. 4* Money Maker APPALACHIAN STATE

4* Money Maker VANCOUVER CANUCKS

Taking NEVADA here. I can say this line is a bit odd to me since I think Nevada is the better team. And comparing record in conference play, it is crystal clear who is better. But the Aztecs are still a tough team even in a down year so I can see this line being fair. I just can't buck a 13-3 ATS underdog trend for the Wolfpack or the fact they are a 19-9-2 ATS last 30 games. 4* Money Maker NEVADA Wolf Pack

Taking SMU here. So we have an unranked team laying points to a team ranked '11' in some polls. You know I love the polls. They are absolute garbage! Don't be fooled by some number in front of a name. The only numbers we worry about are the spreads. And this one tells me all I need to know about backing the home team. SMU 7-1 ATS last 8 as home faves  and 13-3-2 ATS vs AAC opponents. 4* Money Maker SMU 

Taking SOUTHERN MISS here. So, we just cashed UTEP as a Best Bet the other night. But this screams to me as a let-down spot. They had won 3 straight before a rough 62-61 loss on Wednesday. Can't discount So. Miss 7-3-1 ATS run. This is a lot of points for a team, I think, won't be 100% ready to go here Saturday night. Miss won by 8 a month ago at home and are now catching double digits. Maybe it's too good to be true. But I'll grab the dog. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN MISS 

Taking RIVERSIDE here. Just another February doggy for us to lunch on. Road team on a 7-3 ATS run and the dog is on 4-0 ATS. Highlanders also 7-3-1 ATS last 11 in Big West play while Davis counters with a 2-11 ATS home fave run last 13. UCR pulled off a 6pt win at home last month, and history has showed us games decided by 1,2 and 3 their previous 4 match-ups. 4* Money Maker UC RIVERSIDE 

Taking OMAHA here. I'll grab the points in this spot. Underdog on a 7-1 ATS run last 8 and road team 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. Mavs also 7-3 ATS last 10 in Summit play while Ft Wayne is 2-7 ATS last 9 in conference play. 4* Money Maker NEBRASKA OMAHA MAVERICKS 

Taking JAMES MADISON. Now, we have taken some ugly conference dogs lately. But I can't get behind the Blue Hens here. They are getting absolutely demolished on the road during conference play. 28 at NC Wilmington - 8 at Hofstra - 24 at William & Mary - 16 at Drexel - 27 at Towson - 36 at Northeastern. They have covered 4 of their last 5 as home dogs, but this is on the road vs a team they beat 2 weeks ago. Have to go with the revenge minded Dukes here. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON 

Taking EASTERN MICHIGAN here. 20-3 overall, 10-1 in conference play and are barely a favorite over 13-11, 5-6 Eastern. hmm.. A little odd in my eyes. We've lost 3 straight after 3 of 4 on the road. I look for a little home cooking tonight. Zips have won their last 4 by 2,5,3,1. That shows me they get some bounces in their favor. That can't go on forever. Especially against a hungry team like the Eagles looking for a W. 4* Money Maker EASTERN MICHIGAN 

Going OVER the total here. I will be honest. I was looking at the under after seeing the trends. 8 of the last 10 in the series. SF going under in 8 of their last 9 overall. But looking at the game scores, this should be an over play. If this was the total the last 10 in the series, it would be 10-0 OVER. The closest being their December game putting up 130. If both teams used this total for their last 10 games, we would be looking at a 10-10 record. Both teams at 7-5 in conference and will be looking for better conference tournament positioning. Dons with the revenge angle from this year's earlier battle. 2 of the last 4 have gone to OT. I think we should see a score closer to 140s. 4* Total Money OVER Clara/Frisco 

Taking IDAHO STATE here. Again. This line just doesn't fit the bill for me. Idaho State has won 5 of the last 6 in the series, and the loss was in OT. Now, it isn't like these teams get one and done guys. They pretty much stick to the same style of recruiting and players. So I think it is safe to say the Bengals know to play Portland State. As I have mentioned in previous write ups. The conference records are nearly the same. 3-7 Idaho State. 4-6 Portland State. Not much a difference at all playing the same talent of teams. Yet we are getting a big number. Bengals a perfect 5-0 ATS of late in the series. 4* Money Maker IDAHO STATE 

Taking UTEP here. We have big revenge from a 20pt road loss in early January. But that was a different Miners team in my eyes. These guys have been winning games lately. 6 of their last 7 and that includes outright wins when they were +11 and +14 dogs. Sign me up for the hungry home dog. UTEP 13-3 ATS last 16 as a home puppy. LaTech hasn't covered in 4 straight while UTEP is 5-0 ATS in that stretch. Home team on a 6-2 ATS run. Sign me up. 5* Best Bet UTEP 

Taking YOUNGSTOWN here. Ill-Chi 5-6 in conference play, Youngstown 4-8. That is pretty much where the similarities end though. The trends show Ill-Chi running away with plenty, including a 10-4 ATS run in the series. The road team is 6-2 ATS last 8 which is a good sign for us. But what grabs me here is that the last 2 games have gone to OT. A 3pt win this year by Ill-Chi, and a 1pt win last year by Youngstown. In the last 10 meetings, this line would have been covered twice, with Youngstown putting up double digit wins. 4* Money Maker YOUNGSTOWN STATE 

Taking OTTAWA here. You get smacked 6-0 coming on the heels of a 4-0 loss. That is 10 - Zip my friends. What better way to get on track than against the Stars who have dropped 3 straight, 6 of 8 and 7 of 10. Added bonus of Ottawa trying to break a 8-1 Dallas run in the series. 4* Money Maker OTTAWA SENATORS 

Taking the SABRES here. We lost last time out on the Ducks and won the same night on the Sabres. So my thought here is that Buffalo is playing with a the old, pep in their step coming off a huge OT win and are now 6-1 their last 7 games at home. Anaheim has lost 3 straight on the road and this is their 4th road in 7 games. Have to go with the home team at this price. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO SABRES 

Taking the ISLANDERS here. Isles been playing great since the coaching change. Flyers have beaten them twice already this year. So I am  betting on some double revenge here. Also, NYI have been able to put the puck in the net over their last few games, 6-4-4 goals. While Philly has been shut-out in 2 straight, scored 3 in a win and had a 1 goal game before that. 4* Money Maker NY ISLANDERS 

Taking NORTH TEXAS here. Yikes.. Backing a team that has lost 11 straight and is 0-10 in conference play! That's how we do conference action though. Ugly dogs. Look, the road team and underdog are on 6-2 ATS runs in the series. Mean Green a perfect 7-0 ATS last 7 in the series and have covered 5 straight here against FAU. 4* Money Maker NORTH TEXAS 

Taking WISC-MILW here. These guys aren't that far apart when it comes to conference play, 4-8 to 6-5. So we look to the road team 4-0 ATS last 4 and the underdog on a 6-0 ATS run in the series. Panthers are 5-2 ATS last 7 vs Wright State. Also, 4 of Milwaukee's last 5 games have gone to OT. Now, we are either in store for a cover or a terrible, heart-breaking loss. Trends show us we are a live dog. 4* Money Maker WISC-MILWAUKEE
