Taking WEST VA. Back on my guys again. What is this, 3 straight now? Obviously, I will repeat myself. This is just a team I like. Love the defense. I will say yes. I see a Top 10 team basically in a PK on the road. You know that 99% of the time I am on the home team. But this TCU is not very good. We don't have to win by 10, or even 5. Horned Frogs have beaten Iowa State and Baylor. Just a pair of teams, like TCU sitting at 2-5 in conference play. If West Va is an Elite 8, Final Four team like I believe. Then they take care of business tonight. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA 

Taking TULSA. I like these guys. Have had them several times already this season. Memphis is a team I am not high on. I think their win streak comes to an end tonight. Memphis won by 9 just last week, and we repay the favor now. Tulsa 8-3 ATS last 11 at home, Memphis 1-6 ATS last 7 on the road. 4* Money Maker TULSA 

Taking WOFFORD. Like these guys. And really like that the Mocs are in their 3rd straight conference road game. Last 2 games, OT losses. Last game they took Mercer to the limit as 14 pt dogs. Tough to do it again. And add on the extra session and fatigue starts to play. Chat has lost 7 straight, 8 of 10 all 6 in conference play. Won't get any prettier tonight. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD 

Taking UAB. One, I like the Blazers. Think they have a solid squad. And two. Marshall gives up 80ppg. UAB has put 90+ up on them in 2 of the last 3. The last game, a loss here last year. 59. They scored 59 points. I don't expect that to happen again. 4* Money Maker UAB 

Taking WEST VIRGINIA. Had these guys when they blew an early big lead vs Kansas. They came out like I thought they would off their loss at Texas Tech. Can't see them dropping 3 straight. This is a big number to lay, but I still think we have some value. Not sure how young Texas handles the crowd or the pressure that this defense brings. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA 

Taking VCU. Now. Rams not at the top of the A10, but still a top tier team in conference. Can't say the same for GW who I have tagged for the bottom. I am looking for a big bounce-back game here from VCU. Off a pair of losses, their last one a 67-52 home loss to Richmond. 34% shooting will contribute to 50 point games. For a team that scores over 75ppg, that is a huge drop-off. GW scored 53-55 in last years two games. VCU is going to want to get out and push it. GW is one of the slowest tempo teams in the land. Nothing good will happen for them when they try to keep pace. 5* Best Bet VCU 

Taking OHIO STATE. Not normally a fan of laying nearly double digit on a neutral court, but I will in this case. And the case being, chaos in Minny. Suspension. Injury. These guys have a lot of things going on. Traveling to MSG won't help the cause. OSU perfect in Big 10 play. Minny beat Illinois, who is terrible, and pulled out a OT win at Penn State. This is a 10+ point win for the Buckeyes. Favorite 17-4 ATS last 21 in the series - I'll take my chances here on New York. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE 

Taking WICHITA STATE. Might be a square play. But I like the Shockers. I think they are at their best, Final Four bound. Off a loss, I expect a huge bounce-back game. They are now a game back in the loss column from Cincy in conference play. They are a game ahead Memphis and this Houston team. Now, I do like the Bearcats and think they are on equal footing with Wichita. But I think Shockers are a step ahead of Memphis and Houston. They need to, and will take care of business this afternoon. 4* Money Maker WICHITA STATE 

4* Money Maker UTAH JAZZ

4* Money Maker CANISIUS 

Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN. Tough night in college last night. Look to bounce back here with a nice home dog. Still 60%, 24-16 run is ok for us.  Buffalo playing great. 5-0 in MAC action. Have won 7 straight and 8 of their last 10. WMU 2-2 their last 4, 3 of those road games, 2 losses in those said games. At home though, I look for them to take care of business. Bulls top dogs in East, but Broncos at top of West. We can go back their last 7 games and these guy win at home vs each other. Part of me wants to go ML, but let's just get some bankroll going for our NFL this Sunday. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN 

4* Money Maker IONA

Taking CAL STATE SACRAMENTO. I find a lot of value with trend out here in Big Sky play. So Weber, 7-15 ATS last 22 in conference play. Hornets, 17-6 ATS last 23. Sacramento also 13-4 ATS last 17 on the road. They are 4-1-1 ATS last 6 in the series. 5-0-1 ATS here at Weber. Road team 7-2-1 ATS last 10. Dog 4-1-1 ATS last 6. Sign me up. 4* SACRAMENTO STATE 

Taking FURMAN. Last year, East Tenn won the So Con title. But, they lose 4 starters this year. Not that it is a total rebuild. But I like the seniors on Furman. Again, we are home. Not a big split to either team numbers wise. 4* Money Maker FURMAN 

Taking OLD DOM. Man. How bad is FIU. Now getting 10. This opened at 8.5. Panthers really young. And terrible on the FT line. I always look at FT. If you're in close game, you need guys to hit them. And when you are laying, you need guys to miss them. And missing them all game does nothing but help. And not that I lay double digit in conference play. It is probably far from profitable in the long term. But when I get a rebuilding team. A team that was picked for the bottom. Vs a team that is trying to break the top tier, I will lay it. 4* Money Maker OLD DOMINION 

Taking TENNESSEE STATE. Ok. So 3rd straight conference road game for Peay. Last game, a huge win over Jacksonville State. A 20pt beating of a team that won the OVC last year, and had beaten Murray and Belmont, the 2 perennial 'top dogs' in the conference. So. I think we get a bit of let down here. I had State a little bit higher than Peay coming into the season. Last year, we saw 2pt and 4pt wins in this series. We are home. Our top 3 guys all hit their FTs. I think that is the difference. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE STATE 

Taking FULLERTON. Tempted to go +215 ML here. I don't know. Maybe I am crazy. But I have this at best, UCSB being maybe 3 at home. Titans for me, are the better team. 12-3-1 ATS last 16 vs Big West teams makes this almost a no-brainer play for me. 4* Money Maker CAL FULLERTON 

Taking MISSOURI here. Looking at Cuonzo to get a little revenge on his old school. If there is ever a circle a date, playing your former school has to be at the top of the list. Especially for a coach. 3 years, 2 NITs and a Sweet Sixteen. And get pushed out? I don't care if it was a few years ago. You think he doesn't want to get back at this school? And, as always, we have the unranked giving points, albeit a small number, to a 'ranked' team. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI 

Taking CREIGHTON. Again. A Top 20 team getting points on the road. Last road game we saw this Hall team getting run out of Marquette 84-64. Now they are in the Omaha to face a pretty good Blue Jays team. Pirates took both games last year. I look for Creighton to get their payback tonight. 4* Money Maker CREIGHTON 

Taking AUBURN here. Uh. Tough spot. Nearly identical to us winning last night with South Carolina and Kansas State. But I just can't back Alabama. So we hold our noise and bet the small fave. 4* Money Maker AUBURN 

Taking TULSA. Just think this is too many points for Temple. Tulsa has won 4 of the last 5 outright. They lost the other in OT by 4 here in 2016. Some teams just play others well. The numbers show these guy shoot nearly the same, but small edges across the board to Tulane. I'll grab the dog. 4* Money Maker TULSA 

Taking the NUGGETS. Denver rolled last game vs Spurs. Look for a pride beat-down of the Mavericks. 5* Best Bet DENVER NUGGETS

Taking KENT STATE. Taking the Golden Flashes. At this price, have to grab the home team. These guys are pretty evenly matched in my opinions. Both near the top of the East/ West of MAC divisions. 4* Money Maker KENT STATE

Taking CLEMSON. So. NC has won 19 of 20 in the series and 58 straight at home over the Tigers? Maybe this should be a ML play on Clemson. 4* Money Maker CLEMSON 

Taking LOUISVILLE. ND still without Colson out 8 weeks. Have been struggling to put up points. I get the little line move up since Farrell should be back. But I will still grab the small points with UL. 4* Money Maker LOUISVILLE 

Taking GEORGIA tonight. I think this is a close game. Bulldogs play a better defense. Getting a couple buckets. Dog 5-0-1 ATS last 6. Road team 3-0-1 ATS last 4. Georgia 3-1-1 ATS last 5. Will grab the dog here. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA 

Taking WEST VIRGINIA. Well - West Va beat this team here the last 2 years. Those Kansas teams were ranked #2 and #1 when visiting Morgantown. This is nothing like those Jayhawks teams. Is this the game Kansas finally turns it on? Lost to Washington by 11 as 21.5 faves. Followed by Arizona beating them by 10 on their own home court. The very next game as 12pt faves they edge Nebraska by 1 on the road. Lose at home to Texas Tech by 12 as 8pt faves. Survive TCU on the road. Edge Iowa State by 5 as 16pt home faves. Hold on for 1pt win over K-State on a miss at the buzzer as 12pt home faves. But yet.. They are ready to play tonight. Press Virginia off a 72-71 road loss. A game they blew a 11pt lead. You know Huggy rode these guys after blowing that game. They take it on Kansas tonight. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA 

Taking MERCER. This Mocs team is a down unit. Yes, this is a lot of points. But I think we can still squeeze out some value here. Chattanooga off a 110-101 OT loss. 7 guys played. 2 played 45 minutes, 1 played 44. Another 39. Now they are back on the road, against a pretty Mercer team. Bears dropped their first 3 SoCon games before blasting Samford 31 last game. I see nearly the same outcome tonight. 4* Money Maker MERCER 

Taking NEW HAMPSHIRE. Neither team a threat in the American East, but NH is still a bit ahead of Lowell. I think that Camara and Leissner will have close to 30 rebounds between them this afternoon. Control the glass, and guys on the floor who hit FTs are the difference makers in small lines like this. 4* Money Maker NEW HAMPSHIRE WILDCATS 

Taking DAVIDSON. Wildcats the better team across the board. Somehow, Fordham pulled an upset last year. Well, shooting 29% will not win you many games. I am expecting more of their Game 2 of last season with a score along the lines of 80--60. 4* Money Maker DAVIDSON 

Taking MANHATTAN. I lost fading Siena the other night. Will come back for more here on Saturday. One. I like the Jaspers. Think they are really the only team to give Iona a run. Two. Siena comes in off of giving that Iona every it could handle. A 14pt lead in the game, before losing by 2. I think they gave it everything in that spot, and could be very flat, and the tank will run dry giving us room to pull out a nice double digit win. 4* Money Maker MANHATTAN 

Taking FRESNO. I like these guys. Tough defense. They force turnovers. This New Mexico team is always better at home anyway. To boot, they have a new coach so their is a bit of learning curve still going on here. Either way though. I think the combo of the Bulldog defense, and the fact that they are just a superior team, gets us the cover today. 4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE 

4* Money Maker WESTERN KENTUCKY

Taking MONTANA here. It might look like a good call taking a home team that scores 90ppg in a Pk'em. Not for me though. I look at a couple bloated scores (116 on Linford, 125 on Portland Bible College! 111 on Willamette) and then at what has been done in conference play (75 Sac State, 74 Eastern Washington - 93 on Montana State who gives up nearly 80ppg). Forget that the Grizzlies have come in covering their last 10. We will focus on a defense giving up less than 70ppg. Montana is one of the top teams in the Big Sky. I did not have the Vikings as high. And I can't discount how they push the tempo. They have beaten 'big names' already this year. (Stanford, Cal, Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara, lost by a bucket to Butler). Conference play is a different animal though. And you have to ask yourself why a team that appears better by their wins and scoring ability is not favored. 4* Money Maker MONTANA GRIZZLIES 

Taking TEXAS TECH. I always I go the unranked, or lower ranked team gets the nod for me when favored over higher or any ranked team. That is really a go-to when the team is #2. But I will say that West Va has yet to be a dog this year. But last year, 3 times. A push vs Zaga in NCAAs. Covered in Kansas in OT. Won outright at Virginia. So Huggy is a tough out for sure. I'll still grab the Red Raiders here at home. 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH 

4* Money Maker PHOENIX SUNS

4* Money Maker NIAGRA

4* Money Maker MARQUETTE 

Taking IRVINE. So the Anteaters 8-3-1 ATS last 12 in this series. They take care of business vs Fullerton here at home. Last year by 20, the year before -13 points. They have won 5 of the last 6 SU. Last years 2 point loss at Fullerton was the only game in the last 4 that was less than a thirteen point victory. 20-19-13. Titans off an OT game. Maybe the tank runs a little dry late. We pull away for another 13+ point win. 4* Money Maker CAL IRVINE 

Taking CLEMSON. Will also be on the over in this game. NC State off huge win over Duke. Tigers come in off OT win over Louisville. I think we some points. But I have to think that this is a big let down spot for the Wolfpack off that win. 4* Money Maker CLEMSON 

4* Money Maker COASTAL CAROLINA 

Taking CHARLESTON here. Now. I thought CoC would be the best team in the CAA. They have dropped their first 2 in conference play. Both of those on the road. So know we have what is a 'must win' game. For me, I think that this is a big game for Charleston. They can't come out of the gate 0-3 in conference play. They need this game in a bad way. I will say that I lost on Mercer who was in the same kind of situation. But I will go back to it again tonight. Desperate home team. I'll lay the short number. 4* Money Maker CHARLESTON 

Taking IONA. This Siena program is falling apart. Their team captain, and leading scorer just left the team. That can't help things. Iona always a top school in the MAAC. I'll lay the number. 4* Money Maker IONA 

4* Money Maker DENVER NUGGETS

Taking ARKANSAS tonight. Razorbacks need a win. I think they get it going away by double digits tonight. Off a pair of losses on the road, Arkansas comes home in desperate fashion. They catch LSU in their 2nd straight road game. Off a big win over Texas A&M. 4* Money Maker ARKANSAS 

Taking GEORGE MASON. Think these are pretty equal teams. I know that St Joe's has a bit of a bigger name, so maybe people think they are a top A-10 team. We are getting a couple baskets from a team that has a conference road loss to who, I believe, (George Washington) is the worse team in the league. I can't see them coming in here and winning by a large margin. Personally, I will sprinkle some ML on Mason. 4* Money Maker GEORGE MASON 

Taking GEORGIA TECH. ND off a battle with Syracuse. Now on the road at a GT team that is known to pull an upset or two at home. Won't get into the unranked being favored over ranked side of things. ND without 1, and possibly 2 of their top scorers. I just see the Irish heading home with North Carolina and then Louisville on deck. I can see this being a let-down spot in the schedule. And vs a team like GT, or any team that is playing the home dog role, I have to take that angle. Especially when we have a revenge spot from a 69-58 loss already this season. GT had a 28-23 half-time and down 51-50 with 4 to go.  4* Money Maker GEORGIA TECH 

Taking UCF. Will grab these guys tonight. You have seen my type a couple times how I think UConn is a down program. What we know for certain is that UCF will bring the defense tonight. Less than 60ppg. Heck, they have allowed less than 40. 40!! in two of their last 3 games. Remove the 3 overtime games in the last 10 - We are now looking at a Huskies that team has scored more than 64 points twice. 5 times 64 or less. It is 3 of the last 4 if you take out their Tulsa OT game. Can't see them outscoring this defense. 4* Money Maker UCF

Taking INDIANA STATE. Northern Iowa has dropped 6 straight. They are having trouble scoring. They were already 3-8 ATS last 11 in this series. In basically a PK type game, I have to side with the home team. 4* Money Maker INDIANA STATE 

Taking MERCER. These guys one of the monsters of the So Con. And they are facing a mouse from the bottom of the conference. This is it for them though. Off to an 0-2 start in conference play as they have dropped both game to the other top teams, Furman and East Tenn. So this the the old 'circle the wagons game.' Must win in every sense of the word. They beat Western by 15 at home, and 20 on this court. They need more of the same tonight. 8* Sure Shot MERCER 

Taking SAN JOSE. Yeah, these guys are brutal. But I will grab the points here. San Diego has a much bigger game on deck with at Boise. Worth a shot. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE STATE 

Taking TENNESSEE. Uh. Tough doing this. Everything I normally think tells me to take Vandy. Not that they are huge home dogs. But Vols are off that win over Kentucky. That being said, that was really a 'must win' for them having dropped 2 straight to open SEC play. (Ark OT , Auburn) Vandy is 1-11 ATS this year! 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE 

Taking TEXAS A&M - These guys have sunk like an anchor after being ranked in the Top 10. But injuries will do that. They got their leading scored G Hogg back last game. Davis and Williams (should be back, out ill last game) should be able to control the paint. With Kentucky. They always reload. But they have to get on the same page. It is a problem. I say it every year with them. More so when fading them as road faves. But this is a tough Aggies team. They are in need of wins. 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&M 

Taking TEXAS TECH. Everyone loves Trae Young. What is not to like? Kid is making Curry look like a guy who just takes layups with the way he bombs. Sooners scoring over 90ppg. Tech giving up 60. Something has to give. I am sure we will something something in the middle. Just see everyone jumping in Oklahoma and I think it is mainly because they think they can't lose 2 straight. 4* Money Money TEXAS TECH 

Taking TULANE. Yeah. I'll be the first to say that normally, I am fading the Hurricanes off that win over SMU. But this team is different. Already surpassed last years win total. Dunleavy isn't going to let these guys come in too cocky. We have a pair of seniors leading the team. Double revenge and 3 straight losses to Memphis. Tigers really young. Faded them at home already a couple games (Mercer, Samford) and will do the same tonight. 4* Money Maker TULANE 

Taking OHIO. Maybe I was a bit high on Ball State as Buffalo completely crushed them last game. Easy to think, oh, huge bounce-back. Can't sleep on Ohio though. These guys are right behind Buffalo to win the MAC East. I really like their coach also. 4* Money Maker OHIO 

Taking GEORGETOWN. Alright. We are moving along slowly out of the gate here in 2018 with our college hoops hitting .500 - That is going to change. Let's start that wheel moving in the right direction with the Hoyas. Think Ewing's guys hang tough here. These are fairly equal teams that both need to get some conference wins. Have to lean to the road dog though. 4* Money Maker GEORGETOWN 

Taking the KINGS. Can't think about laying with Spurs in a back to back and 4th game in 6 nights. They are 1-4 in b2b spots already this season. SA has won 6 straight here in Sacramento and 11 straight in the series. This is a rare case where I am grabbing points and thinking we just cover as opposed to an outright win. 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO KINGS 

Taking NAVY. Now, you should already know that the Patriot League belongs to Bucknell. But this Navy team, I think, is the 2 team. Granted, it is a big slide down from Bucknell. Colgate having some problems to start conference play as they lost to Lafayette who is coming off a 21 loss season. 3 of the last 4 in this series have been decided by 3 points. The 4th, a 12pt Navy win last year. The teams have gone 2-2 in the last 4 match-ups. Just think Navy a bit better, and we are getting a couple buckets. 4* Money Maker NAVY 

Taking UTAH. Nice home dog for us to back. As fast as Arizona State rose to the fore-front, I am calling for their 3rd straight loss. Ending up a 3 game road trip won't be easy. Utes off a tough loss to Arizona, battling back a couple times before falling. Sun Devils after starting their road trip losing to rival Arizona, lost in OT at Colorado. Now have to face an always tough Utah team. And the last 3 trips here, ASU has been absolutely crushed. 81-46 last year, 83-41 the year before. 2014, 86-63. No way the tam ranked #6 in the land losing 3 straight right? 4* Money Maker UTAH 

Taking CHARLESTON. Will grab these guys off that Drexel loss. Drexel? Man. If there was ever a case of looking ahead to a bigger game, that was it. These two guys, for me, are the CAA top dogs. And if CoC was coming in off a win over Drexel, 5 straight and 9 of 10. Then maybe a play on Towson would have been in the cards. But that isn't the case. We get now a very focused and angry Charleston against the Tigers. The Tigers, who have already lost at Charleston by 9. Towson, who before beating up on Wilmington, had lost 4 straight (Elon, CoC, Pitt, Oakland) - Charleston has won 5 of the last 6 in the series. Again, bad loss. I'm on the small dog. 4* Money Maker CHARLESTON 

Taking LA TECH. Where are the UTEP heads? The coach resigns. Are they going to stay after this year? New AD means a new HC. La Tech is looking to battle for the CUSA crown. I think they roll by 20. 5* Best Bet LOUISIANA TECH 

Taking SOUTHERN MISS. Just think this is a bit of let-down spot for San Antonio. That's all. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN MISS

Taking SACRAMENTO STATE. Have to ride the trend here. Hornets 13-3 ATS last 16 on the road. 16-5 ATS in Big Sky play. 12-5 ATS last 17 in the series. 7-3 ATS playing at Eastern Washington. And the dog 9-4 ATS last 13 in series. 4* Money Maker SAC STATE 

Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN. So, this might be a bit of sucker line. And I normally try to avoid them or go the other way. But this is the MAC. Maybe people don't know as much about it. But I think that WMU is right up there with Buffalo and a slight notch below Ball State. I have Miami O pegged as a bottom feeder. Lay it with small road fave. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN 

Taking GEORGIA STATE. Not that I compare the too. But if Georgia Southern smacks these guys by 30, then there is no reason Georgia State can't do half of that. Red Wolves breaking in a new coach so conference play will be a new adjustment. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA STATE 

Taking DEPAUL. Lost with these guys last game. But I will ride them again. Just think this is too many points for a Johnnies team that has had trouble scoring. DePaul has been putting up 80+ in 3 of their last 4. The dog is 7-3 ATS last 10 in the series. 4* Money Maker DEPAUL 

Taking BAYLOR. Think the Bears can slow the size of Texas. Tough spot on the road for the young Longhorns. Texas hasn't been hitting 3s yet. Can't see them getting on in hostile territory. 4* Money Maker BAYLOR BEARS 

Taking NEVADA here. Try to not make it a habit laying numbers like this, especially on the road. But Nevada should win this one by 20 just going through the motions. 4* Money Maker NEVADA 

Taking BALL STATE. Like both of these MAC teams. Both at the top of the East and West. But I have to back the home team. Just a little bit more talented. And, getting smoked by 27 by Buffalo last year on this court, well maybe they want some payback. 4* Money Maker BALL STATE

Taking EASTERN MICHIGAN. Alright guys. Sorry with the late College Hoops. A little internet trouble out here. Not sure if lines were knocked out by a tree falling with ice or something. So EMU today. I have BG at the low end of all the MAC teams. Eagles 11-3 ATS last 14 vs Bowling Green. 4* Money Maker EASTERN MICHIGAN 

Taking the HEAT tonight. Can't back Knicks on the road. Heat can atone for getting ambushed in NY, losing by 29 at the end of November. NY 6th game in 10 days, and 5th road tilt during that span. (1-3 in those roadies) Miami 10-4 ATS last 10 the series - Knicks 5-12 ATS last 17 on the road. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HEAT 

Taking MANHATTAN tonight. This isn't the same Monmouth team of years past people. They already have 2 conference losses. Yes, you can say it is a circle the wagons game to save their season. But I really don't think it matters. I am not going to run down their schedule before they started conference play. But, I'll say it is filled with losses. Time for a little Jasper revenge. 0-2 last season, and losers of 3 straight to Hawks, I think Manhattan scores the outright win tonight. I think these guys are near the top of the MAAC. We also have some trends working in our favor. Underdog a perfect 5-0 ATS last 5 in the series. Manhattan on a 7-0 ATS run in the series, and have covered 4 straight here in NJ. Monmouth 0-4 ATS their last 4 at home. And the Jaspers on a 4-1 road ATS run. 4* Money Maker MANHATTAN 

Taking LAFAYETTE. Like my Sun Belt teams. These guys are a talented group. I know that Appy just knocked off Sun Belt favorite Arlington. But that just assures us that ULL will have their full focus on the Mountaineers. 4* Money Maker UL LAFAYETTE 

Taking ARLINGTON tonight. Have these guys as the top dogs in the Sun Belt. Well, not the start they wanted as they dropped 2 straight on the road to open conference play. Basically for me, this is a 'must' win for the Mavericks. I'm expecting a focused game. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS ARLINGTON 

Taking WESTERN CAROLINA tonight. This isn't the usual Chattanooga team. New coach. New players. WCU 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series and the underdog 6-2 ATS last 8. Mocs just 1-7 ATS last 8 at home. 4* Money Maker WESTERN CAROLINA 

Taking NC STATE here. Wolfpack off their worse game of the season. I know Brey is looking to become ND's winningest HC off all-time tonight. Doesn't mean they have to cover. 4* Money Maker NC STATE 

Taking BOSTON COLLEGE. Will grab the tough home dog. Who has Clemson beat? I see one good vs Florida. And that was the Gators in a slump. BC played Texas Tech tough in a winter tournament. Beat Duke here and just lost by a point on the road to Virginia. Might even go +180 ML. 4* Money Maker BOSTON COLLEGE 

Taking DUQUESNE. Look. I don't expect much from either club this year. I think they are at the bottom of the A10 conference. That being said, in a basic PK game like this, I will grab the home team. GW has lost every game they haven't played at home this year. Florida State, Kansas State, Xavier, Penn State. GW won both games last year, but I'm on the home team serving up a win and a plate of revenge. 4* Money Maker DUQUESNE 

Taking DEPAUL. Again. One of those spots. I know GT isn't it's old dominate self. And DePaul beat them last year. I think it is a rebuilding year for Patrick Ewing's group. They won some games. But I think the Blue Demons are the better team tonight. 4* Money Maker DEPAUL 

Taking SAN DIEGO STATE. So we get a little triple revenge as Colorado State won both regular season games by 1, and 8 in the MWC Tournament. This isn't the same Rams team. Don't get giddy over 8 wins. They score 70 and give up 75. They beat their cupcakes. Give me the Aztecs to win this one by 10. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO STATE 

Taking PORTLAND. Cavs with Boston on deck for a big ESPN game. I think the Trailblazers bring the proverbial 'A' game vs the big, bad LeBron Cavaliers. 4* Money Maker PORTLAND 

Taking MANHATTAN. Pretty simple for me. I think the Jaspers are the second best team in the MAAC. Marist on the other hand, I have pegged at the bottom. Manhattan 5-2 ATS last 7 when visiting the Red Foxes. 4* Money Maker MANHATTAN 

Taking JAMES MADISON here. Just one of those spots I am going against the numbers. Madison gives up more than they score. They have 4 wins on the year. W&M come in with 8 wins, scoring almost 90ppg. And are faves. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON 

Taking CENTRAL MICHIGAN. Chips have controlled this series winning 4 straight winning by 10 on the road and 23 on this court. Maybe the line is too good to be true. But laying a bucket, I'll grab the home team. 4* Money Maker CENTRAL MICHIGAN 

Taking TOWSON. So I had these guys both right near the top of CAA play. Tigers coming in off loss to a good College of Charleston team. They each won on their own courts last year. Just feel that Towson is the better team. 4* Money Maker TOWSON 

4* Money Maker NORTHERN KENTUCKY 

Taking ALABAMA. Did you even have to look to see where I was going with this game? Unranked giving points to ranked. And not just a ranked team, but a team in the Top 10. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA 

Might come back with a few CBB - will be adding NFL also - 

Taking UAB here. These are who I think are the top 2 CUSA teams. Will gladly take the Blazers at home. Mid Ten playing their 5th straight away game. Off a 1-4 neutral court run. Miami, USC, Princeton, Auburn. Not exactly cupcakes. Now they have to get up for their biggest challenge. I think the Blazers in a better scheduling spot. UAB 8-1 ATS last 9 in series, and 6-0 ATS here at home. 4* Money Maker UAB 

Taking STL. Too many points. Think Bilikens are an improved group this year. 4* Money Maker STL BILLIKENS 

Taking ARKANSAS here. As much as I love cashing my small schools, like my Top 10* Money Bomb last night on Idaho, or our Best Bet last night on UL Lafayette. I do come back to big schools when I see something I like. And there is nothing more I like in college hoops than the old 'unranked' laying points to the 'ranked' team. I can't knock the Vols. Only losses to NC and Nova. Not too shabby. Now, scoring 90ppg like the Hogs you would think you are just beating up on the Samfords of the world. Well, 104 on Oral Roberts I'll give you. 101 on UConn offsets that. They did lose to NC 87-68. But even with the Vols playing NC to the bitter end, we have to look deeper. That was a home game for Tenn. Much like this is for Arkansas. I see this as 10-13 point win. 4* Money Maker ARKANSAS 

Taking WICHITA STATE. Not in the habit of laying double digit with road faves. But, will in this case. Connecticut is really down. This is not the old Jim Calhoun days. Actually shocked Kevin Ollie still has this gig. Remember when he was on the NBA radar. He won a title, but not with any of his players. His core guys went 16-17 last year. I don't see how they stay within 10. Heck. I think Shockers win by 15-20. Huskies with 5 losses already. Auburn, Arizona, Arkansas, Michigan State, Syracuse. They have an OT win over Monmouth. Who they trailed at home, by 6 at the half. They have an OT win over Columbia. Columbia! Who they trailed by 11 at half. Wichita will want to get their AAC career off to a nice start. Thumbing Uconn would do that. 4* Money Maker WICHITA STATE 

Taking ULL. Had these guys in a loss at Clemson. I think they beat these guys by 15-20 tonight. As I have said. I think these guys can be Sun Belt Champs and get fitted for dancing shows. Ark-LR is the gang that can't shoot straight. 38% from the field. 25% from 3, 64% FT. Getting outscored by about 10 a game. 5* Best Bet UL LAFAYETTE

Taking IDAHO. Look. I have these guys winning the Big Sky. To do that. You need to prove yourselves. What better way than to get some revenge. North Dakota won both games last year. Doing it by taking out last year's Big Sky Champs is what is needed tonight. 10* Money Bomb IDAHO 

Taking TEXAS STATE. Have to take the points here. Both teams not expected to do much in the Sun Belt. 4* Money Maker TEXAS STATE

Taking TOLEDO. Just one of those spots where I can't bet the Ivy. Toledo is a MAC monster this season. But they aren't the worse of the bunch either. There will be zero home court advantage for Penn. Getting any points is a gift. I think we can win this one outright. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO 

Taking SAN DIEGO tonight. Easy to look at SF. I like the Dons. Off a big win over Nevada. Swept SD last year including a 60-43 blowout on this court. Payback for the Toreros. 5* Best Bet SAN DIEGO 

Taking WRIGHT STATE. So, my first thought is to fade off a win at Georgia Tech. But then I look at this conference match-up. And what I see is Wright State blow-outs at home over UIC. 87-49 last year. By 14 in 2016. (Plus a 31pt in 2016 conference tourney) - They have won 5 of the last 6 SU. UIC with 3 wins in their last 10 games. Trinity Christian, Dartmouth and Wisconsin- Parkside. I don't think they have been taking it easy, before flipping the switch for a road game in Dayton. 4* Money Maker WRIGHT STATE 

Taking TULSA. 15? As I say. If it looks too easy.. I think they are begging people to take ECU. We have all the stats in our favor. Not sure I can remember laying a number like this with an AAC team I have ranked this low in conference. 4* Money Maker TULSA

Taking UTAH STATE. I'll the double digits with the Aggies. Here are the win margins the last few home games over San Jose State. 26 last March. 18 in 2016. 28 in 2014. 14-3 ATS last 17 for Utah State over Spartans in this series. 4* Money Maker UTAH STATE
