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 

Taking FULLERTON here. Just once in the last 8 meetings has the line been more than this, and shocker, the dog covered. In fact, the underdog is now on a 12-4 ATS run last 16 in the series. Have to grab the points. 4* Money Maker CS FULLERTON 

Taking NORTH DAKOTA STATE here. So we already knocked these guys off on the road back in December. But I think the Bison really want to lay it on them here at home. I can't help but think they are still brewing over the Jackrabbits beating them in the Summit Championship last March. In fact, in 2 of the last 3 championship games, SDST has ended NDST hopes of the getting to the NCAAs. Now it is only February, but I just can't see the Bison giving SDST any breathing room here. Jackrabbits already under-performing on the year. Why give them any hope of a happy season? They have 2 road wins all year. An 8pt win over Drake. (who was drubbed at home last night by 29) and a 4pt win over Omaha when they had to hit 50% of their shots. We have lost twice at home. Once to North Dakota (we beat them in their place a week later) and our last game. Losing by 10 to South Dakota as they shot over 50% from the field. So off that loss, I am thinking we get the proverbial 'A' game from the team with a big focus on defense. 10* Money Bomb NORTH DAKOTA STATE 

Taking WESTERN ILLINOIS here. What can I say about taking ugly road dogs in conference play? I can't help myself. But we have the very friendly numbers working for us as Western is 7-2 ATS last 9 and the underdog has cashed 7 of the last 8 in the series! We just leveled these guys a month ago at home by 15, and now we are catching a very nice number. Part of me does say, well it looks a little to good to be true. I mean, Western Illinois isn't the worse team in the Summit. We have Oral sitting at the bottom of the conference (we are right above). I mentioned the nice trends that the Leathernecks are working on above. But how about Oral Roberts laying an 1-10 ATS egg in their last 11 when favorites of 7-11 points. Too many points for us to pass up. 4* Money Maker WESTERN ILLINOIS 

Taking MARQUETTE here. The old unranked giving to ranked. Granted, we are barely a fave here. But the fact remains this is a toss up to the books. Home edge will be huge. Marquette with revenge from a 8pt loss last month that saw them blow a 41-25 half-time lead giving up 63pts in the 2nd half! Now Butler is in off b2b home losses. They will be angry and focused for sure. But Marquette knows it can get a nice lead on these guys. They have knocked off Creighton after that Butler melt-down, and followed that up with a big win over Villanova here. I expect another 'A' game showing tonight. 4* Money Maker MARQUETTE

Taking the KINGS here. Again. Another spot in Game 3 road game where I think we get the win. Kings are 7-3 last 10 vs TB. 4* Money Maker LA KINGS 

Taking the DUCKS here. They have dropped 2 straight on this road trip, but I like this as a nice bounce back spot. Off Saturday's OT loss, I think they get into the win column tonight. 4* Money Maker ANAHEIM DUCKS 

Taking the SABRES. I know the Sharks have been solid on the road. But I will grab the home dogs here. Buffalo 10-2 last 12 at home vs San Jose. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO SABRES

Taking CENTRAL MICHIGAN here. Trying to figure out this line. They are nearly equals in conference play 5-5 CMU, 6-4 Ohio. CMU was picked to finish mid-pack, Ohio a top team. But the Bobcats have lost their best player and have gone 3-2 SU without him. When things look too easy, they usually are. But I am grabbing the dog here anyway. 4* Money Maker CENTRAL MICHIGAN 

Taking ALABAMA here. I just think we have a nice rebounding edge here. Plus, we can get to the line. Tide 3-1-1 ATS last 5 and dog is on a 5-2-1 ATS run last 8 in series.  4* Money Maker ALABAMA 

Taking PENN STATE. We have had trouble cashing these lately, but I am sticking to what has worked year in and out for us. That is fading 'ranked' or public teams on the road. PSU is a 12 win club and is getting a couple buckets at home from a 20-3 ranked Maryland team. Terps on a 10-1 ATS run vs Big 10 teams! I will buck that trend and look for some home cooking. 4* Money Maker PENN STATE 

Taking SOUTHERN here. Will head to some SWAC action. It would be easy to grab the dog at first glance. But Jackson State throws up bricks. They, by themselves, can build Trump's Mexico Wall! 38% from the field- You can't back any team that shoots like that and only getting a couple points. Their leading scorer is at 36% from the floor. I also don't like their size, which again, hurts when you need to crash boards on the road. Jaguars are led by 2 guys who can actually hit the bottom of the net at a decent clip. Jackson State won a month ago when we hit 33% from the field. I expect the exact opposite in this game as we win this one going away. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN JAGUARS 

Taking WOFFORD here. Will grab this scrappy home dog. Coming off 3 straight road games with 4 of their last 5 away, they are happy to be home. They play ETSU tough over the years. I think we have a nice edge here, especially at the FT line. Terriers 4-1 ATS last 5 in the series. They are 9-2 ATS last 11 at home with both losses The Citadel the last 2 years. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD TERRIERS 

Taking QUINNEIPIAC here as a late addition. Will follow the line drop as the Bobcats have won 3 straight in this series and are on a 8-2-1 ATS run their last 11 overall. 4* Money Maker QUINNIPIAC

4* Total Money UNDER Falcons/ Patriots 

Taking the FALCONS here. Should really just go +140 ML, but I will take whatever points I can get with this high powered offense. So I can have a huge drawn out story as to why I like Atlanta. But let's keep it simple. Pats in their 7th Super Bowl in 15 years. Let's see. NE 20 STL 17  .. NE 32 CAR 29 .. NE 24 PHI 21 .. NYG 17 NE 14 ... NYG 21 NE 17 .. NE 28  SEA 24 ... I see some close games here people. And as much as teams change, this one doesn't. It is still lead by the same HC and QB. So we are getting a close game. I think we will see a lot more Blount from NE than people think. They need to keep their defense off the field, because Matty Ice will torch them. We hear about how NE didn't face any good offenses on the year, but they showed up to slow down the Steelers. Well, as we cashed with NE I noted Big Ben's terrible road splits. Add in they lose their super RB and the game plan is out the window and Pitt is in trouble. Nobody has respected the Falcons all year. The public probably jumps on them with us, since everyone hates Brady. Dan Quinn's defense is the difference. It has been improving all year and is on top of it's game right now. The highest total in Super Bowl history makes it an easy UNDER play for me. Seeing 59, 59.5s right now. Like I said. I expect more of a rush attack here. Long drives. But we will be taking the Dirty Birds to end a miracle season. 10* Money Bomb ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking NORTH CAROLINA. Just think NC has too much size here for the Irish. If ND drains 15+ 3s we are probably in a dog fight. Just think the Heels are more talented though. 4* Money Maker NORTH CAROLINA 

Taking HAWAII here. So the Rainbows have won 5 of the last 6 in the series with the lone loss a 3pt OT road loss in 2014. We have CSN coming in off a big win over Long Beach State who was the premier Big West teams for years. Matadors 1-6 ATS last 7 as home faves and Hawaii 4-1 ATS last 5 in the series. 4* Money Maker HAWAII 

Taking SACRAMENTO STATE here. We cashed these guys as a dog the other night, and are back on them again. So last year we swept the series with a 3pt and 2pt win. Now we are getting 8? I don't think double revenge is worth that many points is it? Hornets on a 6-1 ATS run vs Big Sky opponents and a perfect 5-0 ATS last 5 on the road. 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO STATE 

Taking ST LOUIS here. Blues have been in a rut lately, but have had success vs the Penguins. Pitt is just 3-7 last 10 in St Louis and 2-5 last 7 in the series. 4* Money Maker ST LOUIS BLUES

Taking DALLAS here. Unlike our Blues pick, the Stars have actually struggled vs Chicago. I just like this scheduling spot as the Blackhawks are in game 3 of a road trip, while Dallas is wrapping up a home-stand. 4* Money Maker DALLAS STARS 

Taking DREXEL here. I had Hofstra the last time these two met up which resulted in a home OT win for the Dragons. Since then, Drexel has lost 3 straight and in off an OT loss. This is also their 3rd straight road game which I am not a fan of. But I have to take the points here. Neither team with any good trends working in their favor. 4* Money Maker DREXEL 

Taking MARIST here. Again, like our Drexel play, we are going against a home with revenge from an earlier loss this season. And again, we have 2 of the lower tier conference teams battles, with one being too big a favorite for my liking. Red Foxes all the way. 4* Money Maker MARIST 

Taking EASTERN KENTUCKY here. Will ride the underdog here as it is on a 6-2 ATS run in the series. I find playing on these trends in there smaller conferences really pay off this time off year on the schedule. 4* Money Maker EASTERN KENTUCKY

Taking FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL here. I know it is tough taking a 1-8 conference road team. But I actually think this line is a little low and they want people on Charlotte. Golden Panthers on a 6-1 ATS road run. While Charlotte is 4-10 ATS their last 10. 4* Money Maker FIU

Taking TENNESSEE TECH here. They come in after getting pasted at home 75-46. They aren't a terrible Ohio Valley team as they are 5-5 in conference play. So they can beat teams.  Eastern Illinois 3-8 ATS vs Ohio Valley and we have the Golden Eagles on a 6-2 ATS road run . 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TECH 

Taking PORTLAND STATE here. We faded EW against Sac State and cashed and will do it again here. Portland State is 12-4 ATS last 16 in the series. Will ride the Vikings here. 4* Money Maker PORTLAND STATE 

Taking NORTHERN COLORADO. This is just an ugly, ugly dog. I sure as heck don't like backing road teams that a collective 59% from the FT line. But they are 4-6 in conference which shows they can win a game or 2, or 4! They have played 3 straight 1pt games, 74-73 and 71-70 in 2016 and 72-71 in 2015. Their other 2015 game was an OT 10pt win by Northern Colorado. Just seems like too many points. 4* Money Maker NORTHERN COLORADO 

Taking the FLYERS here. Have to take Philly on their home stand while LA is starting out a road trip. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA FLYERS 

Taking ST PETERS here. Last week in the Free Pick I told you to grab the ML with our dog and it cashed for +290. Tonight, we will grab the 8 and sprinkle some ML on St Peter's, They already knocked off Monmouth a month ago. Peacocks on a perfect 7-0 ATS run as dogs and have cashed 16 of their last 21 on the road. 4* Money Maker ST PETER'S

Taking BYU here. Zags working on a school record win streak and the lone undefeated program in the AP, thrusting themselves to #1 across hoops polls. Well the fade is on. BYU is 76-10 SU at home. 4* Money Maker BYU 

Taking SACRAMENTO STATE here. Again, this time of year in conference action. We are looking the numbers. The underdog on a 8-3 ATS run and as an added bonus Sac State 11-4 ATS last 15 in the series including 6-2 ATS on the road. 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO STATE 

Taking the STL BLUES tonight. From the Conference Finals to firing your HC yesterday. Yep. Rally around the new guy. 4* Money Maker STL BLUES

Taking ILLINOIS CHICAGO here. I have said in previous write ups I like this team. Maybe they are a year away from really making a splash in mid-major levels. But I will gobble up the 8 here. GB just lost at a far worse Detroit team. Maybe they took them too lightly. Sure they will be focused here off a bad loss. The are right behind Valpo for the Horizon top spot. But the dog is on a 7-2-1 ATS run last 10. I will give you 2 guesses who that has been, but you will only need 1. With top dog Valpo on deck, I can see us squeezing out the back door here. 4* Money Maker ILLINOIS CHICAGO FLAMES 

Taking NASHVILLE here. Both teams had coming to the break. But I will go with the Predators who have won 7 straight in the series and 5 of 6 at home over the Oilers. 4* Money Maker NASHVILLE PREDATORS

Taking JAMES MADISON here. So yeah, we are going pretty ugly here.  Dukes have lost 4 in a row and 6 of 7. The lone win? Only a 60-59 nail-biter at home over this same Elon bunch. But the road team is on a 5-0 ATS run and the dog has cashed 4 of the last 5 times out. JMU is 4-1 SU in the series the last couple years. Maybe we just have their number. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON 

Taking FLORIDA ATLANTIC here. As the we hit a the heart of conference play, you know I will be going heavy on dogs. And it won't be pretty. But these two teams aren't that far apart. Both aren't very good. But as a trusted fellow capper taught me a long time ago. We aren't betting teams. We are betting numbers. And the numbers say we are on the Owls. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA ATLANTIC 

Taking DETROIT here. A couple years ago, I was all over the Titans. This year's team was an easy fade for me. Opening up 2-14 always helps. They scored a couple early conference wins before dropping 3 more in a row. I thought they would be a bottom tier team in the Horizon. And they are. Along with Cleveland State. Now, maybe this is a dumb play to back. Is Detroit that bad? They just scored a nice 93-92 win over GB. Cleveland State IS the worse team in conference sitting in the basement a game behind Detroit. The numbers are close enough that we are taking the dog. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TITANS 

Taking TEXAS TECH here. So, a team that has lost 20 straight to the Longhorns in Austin is favored, on the road. Sign me up! 5* Best Bet TEXAS TECH 

Taking PURDUE here. This is a big line and I think everyone will be on Northwestern here. We have the size inside and that will be the difference in getting easy baskets. Not sold on the 18-4 record of the Wildcats. 4* Money Maker PURDUE 

Taking WESTERN ILLINOIS here. Just seems like too many points in my eyes. Granted Leathernecks with 2-9 road record. But they managed a 10pt win at home a month ago. They should be able to hang here. 4* Money Maker WESTERN ILLINOIS 

Taking GEORGE MASON here. So, I think STL is a bad team. So maybe this is a sucker line since I am blinded by how I perceive the Billikens. But they are one of the worse scoring and shooting teams in the land. Mason now 6-1 ATS on the road. We have HUGE revenge angle for us as STL beat us at home and we were 14pt favorites! It was as tough spot coming off a St Joe's road win and a game at Richmond on deck. But I don't think we shoot under 40% here. In their last home win, STL shot 55 FTs. 55!! Any team shooting 55 FTs at home is going to be in a game. I would be shocked if we didn't win this by double digits. 10* Money Bomb GEORGE MASON 

Taking WYOMING here. I just think this is too many points for SDST. This isn't like the Aztecs of a couple years playing defense, winning games 53-48. I think Cowboys have been competitive in their road games in conference play. And State has been inconsistent at best this year. We are either in a nail-biter where we can cash a +400 play. Or the wheels fall off and we lose by 30. But with our balanced scoring and rebounding, I think we hang tight. 4* Money Maker WYOMING COWBOYS 

4* Money Maker DALLAS STARS

4* Money Maker STL BLUES

4* PL Money +250

If you can't get a Puck Line.. Play TB LIGHTNING even 

Taking OHIO STATE here. The old unranked laying point to a ranked team. 6 straight wins and 9 of 10 for the Terps. Yet, they are small dogs vs the Buckeyes. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE

Taking BUTLER here. Creighton a different team without their PG. We had the Hoyas at home and they trucked the Blue Jays. Butler is just probably better defensively and overall than Georgetown. Creighton beat DePaul, but has struggled, losing 2 of 3 since Watson went down. Butler with 11pt revenge on their minds from a road loss 2 weeks ago gets it done. 5* Best Bet BUTLER

Taking BUFFALO here. I just like this spot. In off not 1, but 2, 1pt road losses. Losing twice on the road isn't good for anyone, and losing by a lone point probably hurts even more. But now we are home and facing a CMU off a road OT win. So maybe they are content to go 1-1 on a road trip. They have a tiny spark plug 30ppg scorer. But I think the way the Bulls have played the last 2 games, the defense will shut things down a bit. 8* Sure Shot BUFFALO BULLS 

Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN here. What team has lost 4 straight and lost the same opponent by 31 a month ago? Oh the home team in basically a PK 'em. The home squad is on a 6-2 ATS run in the series. Ohio can easily be looking past WMU as they home revenge game against conference top dog Akron on deck. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN 

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE here. Pretty simple in my thinking here. One. We have a big revenge from last year when the Cowboys put up just 49 points getting pasted 71-49 on the road. They haven't had trouble scoring putting up nearly 90 a game this year. They also come in winners of 3 straight. Sooners sitting around waiting for football season. They have lost 8 of 10 and just were trucked by 30 at home. We can say they, hey, big bounce back game. In state rival. Huge game. Yes. And all of that is true. But the Oklahoma have owned State winning 7 straight in the series including 9-1 ATS last 10. I think some payback is in order tonight. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA STATE 

Taking DUKE here. Normally, we are a fader of the Blue Devils. But that is what everyone has been doing since Coach K has been out of action since surgery. And I think everyone is going to be on the Irish based on no Coach K and they way Duke has played the last few games. Also, ND has owned Duke going 5-1 SU and 6-1 ATS in the series. This is basically a PK'em and I am grabbing the road team. 4* Money Maker DUKE BLUE DEVILS 

Taking VILLANOVA here. First off. What a terrible day on Saturday as we only caught a few ugly dogs. That being said for you weekly and seasonal players. One day doesn't make us. It's a day grind. We sometimes have a couple games. Other times we are going to be over 10 on a Saturday - Back to VILLANOVA - Off blowing a 17pt lead I have to think they are coming out strong vs Virginia this afternoon. We have Virginia off a strong road win over Notre Dame. I am sure they will be happy going 1-1 on this trip. Some of the names have changed, but the Nova still has revenge for last years 11pt loss on the road when they ranked #2. 4* Money Maker VILLANOVA WILDCATS

4* Money Maker EASTERN KENTUCKY

Taking NORTHRIDGE here. Riverside off a big road win at Hawaii and now travels home. Road team 9-2 ATS and underdog 8-3 ATS last 11 in the series. Matadors 4-1 ATS last 5 trips into Riverside. 4* Money Maker CS NORTHRIDGE 

Taking TENN-MARTIN here. Back again in the Ohio Valley. These guys both tied for the top spot in the West sitting at 5-3 in conference play. They split out last year each winning their home games. 4* Money Maker TENN-MARTIN 

Taking KENTUCKY here. What do I say about the lower or unranked teaming giving points. Here we have Kentucky, no slouch in being ranked pretty high, laying a TD to Kansas who was just blitzed by West Va (a nice win for us). The Wildcats also come in off a loss. Again. This looks like they are begging you to take Kansas. 5* Best Bet KENTUCKY WILDCATS 

Taking SIEU here. The two teams at the bottom of the Ohio Valley and we are getting a nice amount of points. Both teams will be gunning for a rare conference win. But I have to grab a desperate dog getting points like this. 4* Money Maker SIEU COUGARS

Taking UTSA here. We faded Western Kentucky and cashed in their last game, and doing the same here. San Antonio should be able to hang around here. 4* Money Maker UTSA 

Taking NEW MEXICO here. These guys battle for the top of the Mountain West. Give me the Lobos in revenge spot from 105-104 home OT loss back in January.  Underdog 4-1 ATS last 5 in the series. 4* Money Maker NEW MEXICO 

4* Money Maker APPY STATE

Taking KANSAS STATE her. Have to fade the Vols off their huge Kentucky win. Betting scoring defense, and they can put the ball in the hoop. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

Taking MARIST here. We come in off 2 losses, but Fairfield staggers in having dropping 5 straight. Red Foxes with double revenge working in our favor also. Marist 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. 4* Money Maker MARIST 

Taking FULLERTON here. I remember several years ago taking LBST as a +16 ML dog in UNLV and scoring an outright win. They always have a crazy non-conference schedule. But this is not the same kind of team. It is easy that everyone picks them to win the Big West. But I just don't see it. They are already 3-3 in conference play. Their home wins have been by 5 and 6 and a loss to Northridge. I have to think Titans keep it within striking distance. 4* Money Maker CS FULLERTON 

Taking PEPPERDINE here. So we have a couple bottom-feeders in WCC play. Pepperdine 1-7 in conference play, having dropped 14 of their last 15 game, FAVORED! Portland has dropped 6 straight and 8 of 10 and has 2 wins in the WCC. This is spot where I see a team in a huge slump, favored. This is a team they should beat. They HAVE to beat. It isn't like they are getting pumped to play Gonzaga next. This is where they break their losing streak. 4* Money Maker PEPPERDINE 

Taking UTAH here. Is it really that hard people. Unranked over ranked. Always a play. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES

Taking PACIFIC here. Going to ride some trends here as the road team is 8-0 ATS last 8. The underdog is 6-0 ATS last 6. And Pacific is 4-0 ATS last 4 trips into Marymount. 4* Money Maker PACIFIC TIGERS

Taking POLY SLO here. These guys have lost 10 straight including a 22pt drubbing a week ago by this same Irvine team. Irvine clearly the class of the Big West. But, they have a big game the team right behind them in conference play Saturday at Cal Davis. Maybe they take their foot off the gas long enough for the back-door to come through. 4* Money Make CAL POLY 

Taking UTEP here. I will tell you I had these guys left for dead after they dropped 12 straight. But they have reeled off 3 straight wins at home, 2 in overtime. They it showing me some fight and some pride and most important, they haven't quit on their coach. Now they get WKU. Like I said. 12 straight losses. But last year and the year before, both games between these 2 went to over-time. WKU is in a different boat. They had won 5 straight and are now mired in a 4 game losing streak. I have to grab the points here. 4* UTEP 

Taking RICE here. We have revenge from an earlier December game. We have long travel to for Old Dominion. They are facing team scoring over 80ppg and they slug along at 60. A lot more difficult forcing your style of play on the road. I don't expect 37 from the field, 24% from 3 and 45 from the charity stripe at home from Rice either. And I am pretty sure you can bet the ranch that OD won't be hitting over 50% from the floor when they can't hit 40% on the year. 10* Money Bomb RICE OWLS 

Taking NASHVILLE here. We have Columbus in on their 3 straight road game. While we are off an OT loss after a long 5 game road trip. Preds will be a refreshed, focused bunch tonight. 4* Money Maker NASHVILLE PREDATORS 

Taking the FLAMES here. These guys have looked terrible in a combined 9-1 loss their last 2 on the road. But after games like that, I think we get a team desperate for a win. This line also looks a little light so we will grab the money. 4* Money Maker CALGARY FLAMES 

Taking DELAWARE here. Blue Hens with ugly numbers, but we have some nice trends working in our favor. 17-5 ATS last 22 in the series and 8-3 ATS here at The Tribe. 4*  Money Maker DELAWARE 

Taking HOFSTRA here. Now, not really a fan of taking a team as the line is going up. But I feel that is based not just on the public, but also Drexel themselves. First. It is a total rebuilding year. But this team doesn't really look that good to me. They used to a be a defense first type of team, not they want to push the tempo. Just not the right guys run that yet. 4* Money Maker HOFSTRA 

Taking the BRUINS here. A little fresh revenge here as the Penguins just beat Boston 5-1 on Sunday. Boston 11-4 last 15 in the series and 6-1 last 7 vs the Pens here at home. 4* Money Maker BOSTON BRUINS 

Taking CAROLINA here. Should really just go PL +240 and make a nice score. I really like the Hurricanes in this spot. They have been blitzed to the tune of 20-5 during their 4 game losing streak. But in their 4 game win streak before this slide, they tallied 21 goals. With a little extra rest, and the Kings playing their 3rd road game in 4 nights, we will take the home faves. 4* Money Maker CAROLINA HURRICANES 

4* Money Maker UC RIVERSIDE

Taking NEVADA here. This is a pretty solid club with youngsters and upperclassman. They were my early season pick to win the Mountain West and here they are tied with Boise at 5-2 atop of the conference. Now I did have Boise as a middle of the road squad. So obviously I think they have over achieved a bit. So give me the points here! 4* Money Maker NEVADA WOLF PACK 

4* Total Money UNDER Florida/ LSU 

Taking SAN JOSE STATE here. Might sprinkle ML +280 on this puppy. I am not a fan of this Colorado State team. They lost 2 good contributors due to academics. Spartans in off a pair of home losses. Just think this a little too many points for the Rams. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE STATE 

Taking TEXAS TECH. Just not a fan of Baylor and this amount of points, seems low actually. Would it shock anyone if the #5 or whatever team in the country wins by 20 at home? Of course not. But this is the same team that was routed at West Virginia. That can be a little harsh sounding since the Bears are 18-1. But exactly. They are 18-1 and are not laying heavy wood like a typical (Duke, Kansas, NC)  would be laying (Mid Teen #s). 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH

Taking GEORGETOWN here. You can grab the +2, but I don't think we need it. You know games like this stick out to me. Ranked teams giving nary a number or being a dog on the road to 'unranked' teams. I know that Creighton loss their assist-leading guard which probably has something to do with this opening line. That being said. Hoyas have a solid back-court. This is far from a vintage Georgetown team. Forget their last 2 losses to Xavier and Providence. These guys are just 10-10 and we are basically staring at a 'Pk from an 18 win club. 4* Money Maker GEORGETOWN HOYAS 

Taking FLORIDA STATE here. I know what everyone is thinking here. Higgs. We have to fade the Seminoles off big wins over Louisville and Notre Dame. Tech is home after 2 road losses. Well. I can see where we want to play on GT. But I think FSU will be focused here. They have revenge from last February where the Yellowjackets came down to Tallahassee and won by 6 as 7 point dogs. So I don't think they will be over-looking anything here. 4* Money Maker FSU 

Sorry for the late to my weekly, season package people. I just had to add WOFFORD. 8-12 favored over a 16 win team. NC Greensboro 7-1 in conference play, Wofford 3-4. But we have the Terriers on a nice 15-5-1 ATS run in the series. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD 

Taking TAMPA here. This guy have been under performing all year in my eyes. If they have any thought of making the playoffs, they need to start putting some Ws together. These guys play tough 1 goal games against each other all the time. At this price, we are taking a shot on the road team. 4* Money Maker TB LIGHTNING 

Taking the ISLANDERS here. Have backed these guys since their coaching change and are on them again. NYI have gone 7-0-3 last 10 at home vs Columbus. 4* Money Maker NY ISLANDERS

Taking BOWLING GREEN here. So we have a 1-7 road team vs a 8-1 home team and this line is coming down with the public on the Chips at nearly a 3-1 count. CMU has a pair of tiny, sub 6 ft guards that put in 50ppg. But playing 2 on 5 isn't a recipe for success. 4* Money Maker BOWLING GREEN 

Taking WEST VIRGINIA here. We cashed the 'Neers as huge 10* not too long ago as they were favored over then #1 Baylor. Absolute burial. Now, we have West Va, in off a pair of losses, favored again over a #1 Big 12 division foe. Big, bad Kansas. Now. Obviously this one isn't as easy in my books as Baylor. Bill Self is a better coach. Better players. And long term success coming from the Jayhawks. Part of me can easily see grabbing +165 with Kansas ML. But then I see this line and know that whenever the #1 team in any sport is getting points, I have to fade them. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA 

Taking MIAMI OHIO here. This is a tough one because I think the Bulls are one of the better teams in MAC action. And Miami O was pegged for the bottom of the conference and is showing it going 1-5. The numbers and line say to take the road team here. But when things look to easy in the gambling world, they usually don't work out that way. Give me the home dogs. Might sprinkle +150 ML on this also. 4* Money Maker MIAMI OHIO 

Taking TOLDEO here. Ohio has lost their best player in Cambell who puts up 16ppg 9reb. That will be surely missed against a Rockets team.  I had Toledo penciled to win the MAC West with behind the play of Williams and Taylor and they are clearly in the hunt. An outright win will not be a shocker. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO

Taking the PATRIOTS here. How can we not take this team off a terrible game? Yeah, they covered a huge number. But what a sloppy game. And let's be perfectly honest. That Texans defense is no joke. If they had a little better QB and if their WRs could hold on to some balls, maybe they are home instead of hosting. So Pats with an extra day of rest while Steelers off a late Sunday night thriller over KC. As much as I love the Big Ben, Bell and Brown trio, the truth is Big Ben has been very average on the road. As in 9TDs and 9INTs on the road this year. Pats at home needing less than a touchdown to cover. Maybe it is too easy, but I have to back this HC/QB combo. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Taking the FALCONS here. Here comes the team nobody is talking about. Well. We cashed them huge last week as a Top 10, and will do it again this afternoon. Let's be honest here. Cowboys really should have won last week. If they have a real coach, that game isn't close. But their HC again gets his butt handed to him in the playoffs. Can we get off that Romo is a choke artist. The play calling cost Dallas again. That being said. I expect something totally different here with Atlanta. Their coach will unleash their best weapon, Ryan to Jones to destroy a putrid GB secondary. Falcons run game isn't chopped liver either. I get that Rodgers getting points is a nice option. But against a team, a HC, and a QB that is a veteran squad, it will be a different ballgame. Atlanta defense isn't all that bad either. I am not saying we won't see a shoot-out here. I am liking this over right now at 60.5. But this Atlanta team has been the group that nobody saw coming. We heard about the Giants defense taking them to the Super Bowl. The Seattle play-off magic. The resurgent Cowboys with a dynamic rookie duo. But nothing about the Dirty Birds. That will change as they head to Houston for Super Bowl 51 - 10* Money Bomb ATLANTA FALCONS
