Taking the SUNS. Hornets come in out of Denver on a b2b. Charlotte still a 4-12 road team. Don't care how bad Phoenix is, have to grab the home dogs in this spot. 4* Money Maker PHOENIX SUNS 

Taking the PACERS. Just a bad spot for Raptors here. We have them in on a back to back, after beating the Bucks. Another top Eastern Conference team. That on the heels of them getting beat in San Antonio. Indiana ready for revenge, a 99-96 loss back in mid December. 4* Money Maker INDIANA PACERS 

Taking SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 4* Money Maker

Taking ST LOUIS 4* Money Maker 

Taking the NETS. Maybe a big of a square play. But these guys are a tough little bunch. This is a pretty good under the radar ATS team. And believe it or not, are in the playoff hunt. 4* Money Maker BROOKLYN NETS 

Taking DEPAUL 4* Money Maker 

Taking SAN DIEGO. Somehow I pulled out a miracle cover or a push on Pacific vs BYU the other night. BYU covering by 17 at one point. No way we should have salvaged that one. But laying it all out leaves little in the tank for today. San Diego off a bad loss to Santa Clara. They will want to get right at home. One thing we know. Pacific won't be taking 38 FT attempts here on the road. San Diego couldn't do anything right last game. I think things go their way and will lay the points. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO

Taking SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE 4* Money Maker

Taking NORTHEASTERN. I know Huskies struggled a bit early, but this line. I dunno. Maybe it's the square play of the day. But I am taking the points in what should be a tough game for Hofstra. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN 

Taking TENNESSEE . This isn't football in January. Georgia beat these guys last year 73-62 at home, and hung tough 66-61 on the road blowing a nice half-time lead. Well. You caught them off a close game with Florida on deck. Then you got them off a pair of b2b road games. No such luck as this is a Vols team rested. This team is good. Georgia in a rebuild with a new HC. Vols can name their score, and I am thinking it should be 20. 8* Sure Shot TENNESSEE 

Taking DRAKE. I like these Bulldogs. Should be a 20+ win team this year out of the Missouri Valley. Double revenge on our side from last year and Loy Chi has won 3 straight in the series. I have this game rated as a PK, and yet, here I am getting 5 points at home. I'll take it. 4* Money Maker DRAKE 

TEXAS TECH gets the call as our Top Rated 10* MONEY BOMB Game of the Week. Red Raiders crushed these guys last year 66-47 on the road and 74-58 at home. Kansas State down 2 key contributors. I get it. The next guy steps up. But good luck vs Texas Tech who brings the D. I don't think K-State gets more than 50 today. If Tech doesn't win by 20 I will be disappointed. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS TECH 

Taking CINCINNATI. Will lay the big number. But Cincy should maul these guys. This is what Cincy does. It crushes bad teams and gets you thinking their 25-2 record means something. Then they can't find the basket vs a good team. Well, ECU isn't a good team. They are a bad team. Another road game on deck vs Tulsa next. This is the game they want to really swarm though. After Tulsa, it is home vs UConn. We will look to fade the Bearcats in that Tulsa game. ECU with 7 wins. Let me run down some of these juggernauts of College Hoops. Lamar, OT at home!, Delaware State, Praire View, NC A&T, Maryland Eastern Shore. Lost to Charlotte who won't win 10 games this season. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BEARCATS 

Taking BUFFALO. Not a big fan of laying points like this on the road, but EMU is pretty bad on offense. The biggest drawback is that Buffalo has Toledo at home on deck. I just don't think the coach lets these guys look even a game ahead. They are ranked. They have a nice win at Syracuse under their belts. Reigning MAC Champs will look to get out of the gate fast. Think this should be a comfortable win. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO 

Taking BALL STATE. I do like this Toledo team. And they have double revenge fro last year losing 75-63 at home and 99-71 on the road. Ball State has actually won 4 straight in this series. I have to grab the points in this spot. 4* Money Maker BALL STATE 

Taking PACIFIC. 4* Money Maker 

Taking the WARRIORS. Rockets already with a win over the Warriors. I thought GS would show up at home on Christmas. They got beat by the Lakers. TNT for the world to see. I expect Steph Curry to be the big difference maker tonight. Double digit win for home team. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking IDAHO. 4* Money Maker 

Taking CAL BAKERSFIELD 4*  Money Maker

Taking CAL IRVINE. 4* Money Maker

Taking BELMONT. 4* Money Maker 

Taking GEORGIA STATE . 4* Money Maker 

Taking LA TECH . 4* Money Maker 

Taking OLD DOMINION. 4* Money Maker 

Taking William & Mary. 4* Money Maker 

Taking IONA. 4* Money Maker 

Taking INDIANA STATE. A nice number to grab here. This Loy-Chi team isn't that great putting the ball in the basket. Indiana State with 4 losses, 2 in the last 4 games to 11-1 TCU. Wins over on neutrals vs UNLV and Colorado, beat Western Kentucky, road win at GB. Maybe I'm on the wrong side as this line has ticked up a bit. But I am on the dog. 4* Money Maker INDIANA STATE 

Taking MICHIGAN STATE. Big number, I get it. But I think Northwestern is like Iowa. They rate about the same. And Sparty won that won 90-68. I see this playing out along the same lines. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN STATE 

Taking OMAHA. This should be a nice little game if you can find a stream. I like these little schools. But give me Omaha in this spot. NoDakSt took both games last season, expecting some payback tonight though. Omaha just a tad bit better and should take care of business. 4* Money Maker OMAHA 

Taking TULSA. A lot of points here and I'll bite on the big dog. I know both teams don't give up many points.  Heck, Houston not allowing 60 on the year. But Tulsa does a pretty good also. Have to take the double digits. Tulsa 7-1 ATS last 8 on the road. 4* Money Maker TULSA 

Taking CINCINNATI. Will lay the big number with the Bearcats. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BEARCATS 

Taking MONTANA as a 4* Money Maker 

Taking VIRGINIA as a 4* Money Maker 

Taking HOFSTRA. 4* Money Maker 

Taking SAN FRAN tonight. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO DONS 

Taking CLEVELAND today. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 

Taking NC GREENSBORO this afternoon. 4* Money Maker NCG 

Taking EAST TENNESSEE STATE. 4* Money Maker ETSU 

Taking KANSAS. 4* Money Maker KANSAS JAYHAWKS 

Taking WOFFORD. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD TERRIERS 

Taking MINNESOTA. Just do not like the Hawks. Nice home spot for the Wolves to get an easy win under their belts. I will lay it thinking 115-100 type of game. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES 

Taking HOFSTRA. So I think these guys should be fight for the CAA top spot. They are a tough little team. I have the Pride just outside of the top 100 teams. And that might now sound sexy, but this is a CAA team. Blue Hens are at best a .500 club while Hofstra will make a run at 25 wins. I'll lay it. 4* Money Maker HOFSTRA 

Taking SOUTH DAKOTA STATE. I will lay this number. I know it is hefty on the road. But there will be zero home court on a Friday afternoon on Christmas break. 4* Money Maker SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 

Taking the JAZZ. Just a bad spot for Philly. In off OT road loss at Boston. That was a game they really wanted. Celtics have really had their number. Heading to the 4th with a lead, scoring first 4 points of OT- Outscored 13-2 to end the extra session. Give me the home team off a big win. 4* Money Maker UTAH JAZZ 

Taking the KINGS. Would have faded the Lakers even if LeBron was playing. Now we get LA in off a huge win crushing the Warriors on the road. Only place to go but down and be in a flat spot. 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO KINGS 

Taking the WARRIORS. This is a spot where we get GS full effort. Christmas Day vs LeBron and the Lakers. Time for Curry and Company to remind some people who is charge of the West and the Champions are. Nothing else to even say or to overthink. Warriors by 15-20. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking the BUCKS. Knicks losers of 4 straight, 9 of 10 and 11 of 13. Their 2 wins? An 2pt OT win over Charlotte 126-124, and a 2pt 136-134 OT win over these Milwaukee Bucks. Bucks going to come into MSG and lay it on NY. Knicks with more losses this month than Milwaukee has on the season. Talk about adding insult to injury. 2 wins this month, both in OT. No way this doesn't get ugly. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BUCKS 

Taking the HEAT. Nice spot for the home team. Small dog playing well. Bucks come in off huge win at Boston. Let down written all over this one. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HEAT 

Taking NORTH CAROLINA. Kentucky 0-2 on neutrals (Seton Hall Duke) - Being undefeated at home is nice, but sometimes you need to come to play. And NC will be in town to play. No let down after crushing Gonzaga. When you are Carolina, you don't let down vs a fellow Blue Blood like Kentucky. A let down would be not covering 27 vs Kent State. Lay it here. 4* Money Maker NORTH CAROLINA 

Taking SAN FRANCISCO. Not worried about that non cover vs N Arizona where they shot only 41%. SF was clearly playing down in a look ahead spot. This is the where the 'A' game comes to play. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO DONS 

Taking HARVARD. A 4-5 Ivy team laying nearly 2 TDs to a A-10 school. I'm in for a little revenge on last years 58-48 loss. 4* Money Maker HARVARD 

Taking UCF. As much as we liked Ill State last year, this is a different team. I have UCF rated inside the Top 50- Redbirds, not so high sitting closer to 200 than 100. We will lay the double digits as Knights look for some NIT revenge. Illinois State getting outscored on the season and UCF always with a tough defense. 4* Money Maker UCF 

Taking IRVINE. Will grab the nice dog here. Have backed these guys before. Nice veteran team back with starters. Should be class of the Big West. 4* Money Maker CAL IRVINE 

Taking YALE. Monmouth win-less and looking at probably a 5-7 win season. Yale should get to 20 Ws - Last year, Monmouth by 21. Time to kick a team when they are down. Payback. 4* Money Maker YALE 

Taking HOLY CROSS. Following the trends here. Holy Cross 8-2 ATS this season, Canisius on a 1-7 ATS run. 5 of those as dogs, did not cover any. Losing at 9.5 faves outright. Their only 2 covers on the year. A 1 pt win as a PK, and somehow a win as a 1.5 dog on the road. Holy Cross losses are to all Top 100 teams. They take care the visitors tonight. 4* Money Maker HOLY CROSS 

Taking GEORGIA STATE. This a tough Sun Belt team. I have NCW winning 11,12 games this year. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA STATE 

Taking TOLEDO. Don't sell the Rockets short. They just ran out Mid Ten St. That was off beating a tough Marshall team. 8 straight wins. Cornell won't be able to keep up here. 15-20 margin of victory tonight. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO 

Taking IRVINE. This is a good little Big West team. They should about 25 games this year. That is nearly double of what this EMU team will put up. Don't be fooled by EMU 5-1 home record. Rochester College - Goshen - Central State for 3 wins. Drexel, who is a bad CAA team. And the Boston Terriers. This is a step up in competition. Should be a 10pt win. 5* Best Bet CAL IRVINE 

Taking SOUTH DAKOTA STATE  - So we are spinning our wheels 64-67 in CBB. Not going to bore you with big write ups. I can only say so much about ratings and others and why I like a team. Now we just need a 15-2 run to get college hoops rolling. 4* Money Maker SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 

Taking MONTANA STATE. Denver not good with the money posting a 1-7-1 ATS run last 9 games. 4* Money Maker MONTANA STATE 

Taking GREENSBORO.  You know how we feel about these guys. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO 

Taking CAL BAPTIST. This is tough little school. I said in previous write up how good this coach and program was at the lower level. SE Louisiana is one of the worse programs in the land. 4* Money Maker CALIFORNIA BAPTIST 

Taking MINNESOTA tonight. Kings won 141-130 when these guys played last. Now, they are in off win over Dallas. Back to back roadies vs a revenging home team. Add in that Wolves lost all 4 on their road trip. Time for some home cooking. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES 

Taking WEST VIRGINIA. Think this should be a double digit win for West Va even on the neutral court. Rhode Island a poor shooting club. Add in that 'Neers will be pressuring all game and this can get ugly quick. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA

Taking UCONN. Coaching change having a positive effect for the Huskies. This Manhattan team is bad. Putting up barely 50ppg. 36% FG shooting.. Connecticut should win this one by 25. 4* Money Maker UCONN 

Taking TOLEDO. This is not the last years Mid Ten State. New coach. It shows. Rockets a tough team and leader in the MAC. I have Blue Raiders as barely a 10 win team. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO ROCKETS 

Taking KANSAS. As we said when we had Penn the other night. This is not last years Villanova team. Jayhawks by double digits. 5* Best Bet KANSAS

NFL and Bowl Games will be added today

Taking NEW MEXICO and will be looking for some ML action also. How are you backing Colorado who is 9-26 on the road and are laying points? I get that New Mexico hasn't looked good in its last 2 games. But this team was thought of as a Top 3 in the MWC. Colorado a bit lower in the PAC 12. If they had a pair of respectable losses their last 2 games, this game is a Pk or Lobos favored. But - 85-60 at St Mary's shooting 35% and 4-16 (15%) from 3 and you aren't hanging close to anyone. And losing 100-65 to New Mexico State. Well. 28% shooting from the floor will spell doom vs a last place team from any conference. Inflated home dog value. I think New Mexico outright. 4* Money Maker NEW MEXICO 

Taking PENN. Will grab the points in the Battle of Philly. These guys are a tough team. Should be battle for the top of the Ivy. Got crushed last 2 years by Nova. But this is a different Villanova. I'll grab the little brothers in this one. 4* Money Maker PENN

Taking PACIFIC. Like what I have seen so far from Damon Stoudamire coaching here. LBST has some bad shooters on the team. After your center who is literally under the basket - your best shooters 41% 38% 36% 31%. We will lay it with the home faves. 4* Money Maker 

Taking MARSHALL. We had Toledo over these guys Saturday. But they get it done tonight. Morehead won't be able to keep pace. 4* Money Maker MARSHALL 

Taking CAL IRVINE. 4* Cal Irvine 

Taking AUBURN. I like this team a lot. Clearly a Top 5 program. I think they punish Dayton with a 20pt win. 4* Money Maker AUBURN 

Taking VERMONT. These guys and Harvard both are pretty much top dogs in their conferences. At this point, the Catamounts are just a tad better. 4* Money Maker VERMONT 

Taking the ROCKETS. I really try to pick and choose spots in NBA. We had a nice revenge spot last night Golden State, and we have another here with Houston. Dallas beat them by 20. Now, after scoring 91 in 2 straight road losses, Rockets with a shot at pay-back. If we get a combined 30 from Harden and Paul we are in trouble vs any NBA team. That has been the output the last couple games from our leaders. I am looking for a big game and a 10pt win from the visitors. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS 

Taking NEBRASKA. Like this Big 10 school. Creighton on the road for the first time. 4* Money Maker NEBRASKA 

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE. Grabbing the small home fave with 5 double digit scores. Plus 2 guys off the bench who contribute. Off b2b losses, Cowboys need a win and an undefeated Houston team will have their full attention. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA STATE 

Taking HOFSTRA .. 4* Money Maker 

Waiting for a few smaller lines to come up.. 

Taking TOLEDO. I know people like this Marshall team. But the Rockets can push it and keep pace. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO 

Taking HOLY CROSS. 4* Money Maker 

Taking FLORIDA. Gators still a Top 25 program in my ratings. This game should come down to the wire and I'll grab the home dog. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA GATORS 

Taking GREENSBORO. Have cashed with these guys a few times already. They are a top mid-major program. Elon will be bringing up the rear in the CAA, while NCG should be dancing for the So Con. Greensboro crushed these guys last year 75-44 and I would think about 15-20 win is on tap tonight. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO 

Taking DRAKE. Milwaukee back from dropping a pair of games in Ireland. I think Drake will dictate their tempo and the Panthers don't shoot well enough to cover even this small number. 4* Money Maker DRAKE BULLDOGS 

Fellas. I don't know what to say. Northeastern really wet the bed for us. But another near miss by a bucket with CMU. This is starting to remind me of 2 years ago when I had nearly 55 games decided by a half to 3 points, all in the wrong direction. Just one play as of now - Taking LOYOLA MARYMOUNT. 4* Money Maker -- - Texas, Cal , Rio Grande could be in play later today. 

Taking TEXAS. As double digit faves they lose to Radford. They won't be overlooking Shaka's old school. I think they run VCU out of the building tonight. 4* Money Maker TEXAS 

Taking NORTH TEXAS. Have these guys as the #2 in CUSA. Indiana State the middle of MVC. Short line, you can go ML. 4* Money Maker NORTH TEXAS 

Taking NORTHEASTERN. Don't think we see many points. So getting double digits is nice. I have NE at the top of the CAA. Coach an old BC assistant so he has seen the Orange defense and won't be surprised. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN 

Taking the HEAT. Miami in a nice home spot while Magic back from the west coast for a final road game. This is a winnable game vs a so-so team playing their 6th straight road game. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HEAT 

Taking OKLAHOMA. These guys are pretty similar - Just think Sooners a bit better and will pull this out in MSG. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA 

Taking CENTRAL MICHIGAN. Youngstown not a good team at all. Should be in the basement of the Horizon. CMU with some experienced players. Chips should really win this one by double digits. 4* Money Maker CENTRAL MICHIGAN 

Taking KANSAS. Think these guys roll this afternoon. Won't be shocked to see a 25-30 point win today. 49+46 vs Wiscy and Florida. Can't see them getting to 60 . 4* Money Maker KANSAS 

Taking NORTHEASTERN. Not sold on EMU, especially on the road. These guys had 36 points vs Rutgers. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN 

Taking KANSAS STATE. Numbers show me that K-State is the better team right now. Getting points a bonus. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

Taking GONZAGA. Best team in the land. I just don't have Creighton that high. It might be close the first half. Zaga will wear the Blue Jays down. 4* Mony Maker GONZAGA 

Taking GREENSBORO. These guys have put money on our pockets already. Won't be shocked if this line goes up. Public will be all over Kentucky. Look at some of these lines already for them. 26.5 28.5 22.5 33.5 18.5 - Only single digit game, vs Duke -2.5 and get rolled by 34. Greensboro is tough and will keep it close. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO 

Taking ST JOHNS here. I think Mullin finally has a decent crew here. I like these guys. I really don't remember Mullin/ Walter Berry teams. But I know I loved the Malik Sealy, Boo Harvey bunch and followed them since. Talent is there for them to get to the NCAAs. - 4* Money Maker ST JOHNS

As I said the other day. CBB is very frustrating right now.(48-51)  - With 125 games in College today, I had a pretty big ticket. I left these smaller schools off simply because of 1 - Several people have messaged me saying they can't get action on them. And 2 - When we are dropping close games, I know it is tough for you to back teams like this.  - 

These guys nearly made the cut. 

Northern Alabama +10.5 - Bowling Green +1  - Boston U +1.5 - FAU -3 - Cal Baptist NL yet, I'm saying 3.5 or 4. 

Taking APPALACHIAN STATE. Will take the experienced Sun Belt team. ECU in a total rebuild with a new HC and a young roster. Give me the small school playing a bigger name, even if it is just ECU. 4* Money Maker APPALACHIAN STATE 

Taking MARIST.  -- First up. I know our CBB has been up and down so far. And that is very disappointing for me as I normally come out very strong in November hoops. Last November, 57-43 good for 57%  - This year, 47-50. And seems like every game, win or lose, is decided by a bucket or 2. Like yesterday UCF. That could be a win, lose or push. Belmont misses by a bucket. I'm frustrated that I haven't delivered like I should be on the hardwood. We'll turn this around. Last year, we were the #1 Total Money Capper in College Basketball. We know what we are doing, won't panic, and continue to find winners to grind out our daily bankroll. 

We will back Marist here. Numbers have the Red Foxes winning this one. 4* Money Maker MARIST 

Taking CAL BAPTIST. First year here in D1 - But do not fret. This team won 20+  for 5 straight years and made the DII tournament 5 straight years. Riverside is not a good Big West team. Never over .500 in 18 years in Big West play. A new HC and an overhauled roster. We'll take the small school in-state rival? I mean, they have to be rivals right? WAC vs Big West for Thursday night! 4* Money Maker CAL BAPTIST 

Taking BELMONT. Will grab the top team in the OVC tonight. Samford a young group. Going with the experienced, better team. 4* Money Maker BELMONT
