Georgia Tech at Wake Forest 7:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Demon Deacons- Georgia Tech has played the toughest part of the schedule as five of their final six games against teams with losing records. The Yellow Jackets have won four of their last six and are up against Wake Forest who has lost six of it's past eight games. The Deacons have won three of their last four home games but have lost eight of the last 11 against the Jackets including four of the last six at home. Georgia Tech meanwhile is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games and 15-8-1 ATS on the year. Take GEORGIA TECH! 

Auburn at Georgia 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- No. 11 Auburn hasn't been anything special since losing their first game of the season at Alabama when they were 16-0 and ranked No. 4 in the country. The Tigers have struggled from the perimeter and have lost projected NBA lottery pick Issac Okoro who suffered a hamstring injury and sat out Saturday's loss at Missouri as they have dropped three of five on the road. Georgia meanwhile has lost four straight and eight of nine but will have a healthy Anthony Edwards who many expect to be the top NBA pick in June. Take GEORGIA!

Baylor at Oklahoma 9:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Bears- How can I possibly do it again...play against the Bears that is! Baylor has won 22 straight and are taking no prisoners while doing it. Ranked No. 1 and dominating all of their opponents has Baylor 1-game ahead of Kansas in the Big-12 and are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. Oklahoma who has three of the conferences top-10 leading scorers gave the Bears all that they could handle in the first meeting falling to the Bears 61-57. The Sooners are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and have enough talent to keep this one close. Take OKLAHOMA! 

Dayton at VCU 8:00 ET

Rams (+) over Flyers- No. 5 Dayton are well deserving of their ranking as they lead the nation in field goal percentage (.523) and are second in assists (18.2). The last time these two met at game was tied at 41 when the Flyers held the Rams scoreless for over six minutes and out-scored them 22-0 and winning 79-65. Dayton who has not won at VCU in five years is just 1-4 ATS in their last five games as road favorites and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. The issue for the Rams is that they are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 as a home underdog but get it done here. Take VCU! 

Purdue at Wisconsin 7:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Badgers- With the kind of tear Wisconsin is having won two games in-a-row and four straight at home is considered a winning streak and for Purdue it isn't any better. The Boilermakers have dropped their last two games and are just 3-7 on the road and 1-5-1 ATS while the Badgers are 11-2 SU as hosts and 5-2-1 ATS. Purdue has already posted a victory over the Badgers pounding them 70-51 in late January and has won six of the last seven meetings and coach Matt Painter believes that they can still get to the NCAA tournament as each of their remaining opponents are tourney bound. Take PURDUE! 

North Carolina at Notre Dame 7:00 ET

Tar Heels (+) over Fighting Irish- North Carolina is having one of the worst season's in school history have lost their last five to lower their record to 10-15 overall and 3-11 in ACC play. When you consider that the Tar Heels started the year 5-0 and have gone 5-15 since after opening conference play with a 75-65 win over Notre Dame. The Tar heels were without freshman sensation Cole Anthony who has sideline with an injury are aren ow 0-5 since his return. As bad as things have been for Carolina they are 4-0 ATS as an underdog and lead the ACC in rebounds per game. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

San Diego State at Boise State 4:00 ET

Broncos (+) over Aztecs- For a college basketball team to go undefeated, any college basketball team on any level to go undefeated is a huge accomplishment these days with all of the added games and early season tournaments adding games with unfamiliar opponents. As the season wears on an undefeated team will feel the pressure increase as the regular season draws to a close. No. 4 San Diego State (25-0) will feel the pressure today at ExtraMile Arena where Boise State is 12-1 on the year. The home team have won and 'covered' the last four meetings but the Aztecs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games while the Broncos are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home game including 12-1 Straight-up this season. With the added pressure on San Diego State and the home court advantage of playing in Boise, I give the point spread edge to the home team. Take BOISE STATE!

Seton Hall at Providence 8:00 ET

Friars (+) over Pirates- Are the Pirates worried after having lost their last two home games as the Big East lead has shrunk to two-games...nah. Their is plenty of game left and they have Myles Powell an All-American that is coming off of his worst performance of the season shooting 3-of-16 and just 1-of-11 from 3-point range. Providence has lost two straight both on the road and return home with revenge in their hearts looking for atone the loss at Seton Hall three weeks ago. Providence is more than capable having defeated Butler, Marquette and Creighton and come up big at home here. Take the FRIARS!

Maryland at Michigan State 6:00 ET

Spartans (-) over Terrapins- So, here we have it the No. 9 ranked Terrapins come to East Lansing facing a former No. 1 ranked team Michigan State that is now unranked. Maryland has won their last seven but are just 5-9 against State lost five the last six meetings. After their three-game losing streak that dropped them out of the rankings the Spartans have won their last two and are an exceptionally big number here. LAY IT! Take MICHIGAN STATE!

West Virginia at Baylor 4:00 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Bears- Without question Baylor is the best college basketball team that I have seen play this season. They are deserving of their NO. 1 ranked and their 15-5 ATS record will attest to their value. West Virginia seems to be a Bob Huggins clone team, they play great defense in big game but often come up short on the other end of the floor. The Mountaineers have lost two straight and must have been looking ahead in their last game at home against Kansas 58-49 as they failed to score in the final 5:07. Huggins will have them ready here and it will come down to the final buzzer which means take the dig. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

Colorado at Oregon 9:00 RT

Buffaloes (+) over Ducks- The lowly Pac-10 has just a pair of teams in the Top-25 and these to are it. Oregon has fallen to No. 17 and are now behind Colorado who comes up No. 16 and has won three in-a-row and five of their last six to move ahead of the Ducks. Oregon returns home after three straight on the road but have won just six of 15 meetings between the two since the Buffaloes joined the conference but have lost just once to Colorado at home winning the last five as hosts. Oregon coach Dana Altman doesn't think his team is moving backwards he states 'People are getting better but we are not.' What? The home team (13-3 ATS) and favorite (9-1 ATS) have dominated this series but are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as favorites. Take COLORADO!

Washington at USC 9:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Trojans- The Pac-10 continues to be the weakest major conference in the nation as Washington and USC enter this contest with nine straight losses between them. The Huskies who were early season favorites in the conference have dropped six straight while that means USC has lost their last three with the 'dogs' at 2-9 in Pac-10 action. The good news for Washington is that one of their two conference wins came over the Trojans in early January a 72-40 beating. The trends on the Huskies side are hard to take as they are 0-6 ATS in their last six overall and 0-7 ATS as an underdog. USC despite their three straight losses is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall. But are only 3-7 ATS as home favorites. Take WASHINGTON!

Wichita State and Central Florida 7:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Shockers-Wichita State who started the season 15-1 is reeling having lost their last three and five of seven including a 76-43 plumping at Houston on Sunday. The Shockers have won all four of their AAC meetings SU but are 2-2 ATS and are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with winning records and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games as favorites. Central Florida although 1-5 ATS in their last six home games are 1908 ATS against teams with winning SU records. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

Louisville at Georgia Tech 8:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Cardinals- No. 5 Louisville has won 10 straight entering Atlanta and is seeking a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals won the first meeting at home 68-64 as they overcame an 11-point second half deficit and are now 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Georgia Tech has great bounce-back capabilities as they are 17-4 after an AYS loss and 23-9 ATS after a straight-up loss and they were defeated by Pittsburgh 73-64 last time out. Take the YELLOW JACKETS!

Alabama at Auburn 7:00 ET

Crimson Tide (+) over Auburn- Bruce Pearl has done an incredible job with these Auburn Tigers as they have now won six straight and are tied at the top of the SEC with Kentucky and LSU. The Tigers came from 14 points down to defeat LSU 91-90 Saturday and now host rival Alabama who handed Auburn its first defeat of the season 83-64 in January. Although Auburn is just 13-10 SU they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games and 11-1 ATS after an ATS win and pull off the upset once again. Take ALABAMA!

Rutgers at Ohio State 7:00 ET

Buckeyes (-) over Scarlet Knights- The biggest positive surprise in the Big Ten this season has to be the play of Rutgers who is having their first winning season in 14 years. The issue for the Scarlet Knights who are 16-0 at home has ben their play on the road where they are just 1-7 straight-up. Ohio State who looked so good early in the season only to hit a wall having lost five of six but rebounded with three straight wins before falling at Wisconsin. 'We' will need a strong turn-about here is that Rutgers is 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 overall while the Buckeyes are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 overall. Today it happens...take OHIO STATE!

Michigan State at Illinois 9:00 ET

Illini (+) over Spartans- Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Michigan State who when the season started was ranked No. 1 and now with three straight losses the Spartans are fourth in the Big Ten and out of the Top-25. Illinois meanwhile has dropped their last two game after posting a seven game conference winning streak. MSU won the first meeting 76-56 as hosts in early January but they are not the same team today as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. Illinois is 4-1 ATS after a straight-up loss and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take ILLINOIS!

North Carolina at Wake Forest 8:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Tar Heels- A pair of 10-13 teams, that's right the Tar Heels are 10-13 and experiencing their worst season in decades. After blowing a 13-point lead with just over four minutes remaining and losing to bitter rival Duke in overtime last time out, I believe Carolina will have difficulty being mentally prepared for any opponent. Wake Forest who is 7-4 SU at home have lost six straight to the Heels who admit their locker room was 'crushed' after their heartbreaking loss to North Carolina. The Deacons were pounded by the Heels at home last season 95-57 the most lopsided road win in ACC history. Some small revenge here for this year's also rans. Take WAKE FOREST!

Penn State at Purdue 6:30 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Nittany Lions- Penn State gas reeled off six wins in-a-row and have climbed to No. 13 after moving up spots with wins over Michigan State and Minnesota. The Lions are starting to get some attention as they played before their first home sell-out crowd in nine years and now take to the road at Purdue in Mackey Arena where the Boilermakers are 10-2 SU on the season. State is 9-2-1 ATS as road underdogs but the Boilermakers are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 27 home games. This line reflects the oddsmakers belief that the home team here has a major advantage. Take PURDUE!

Florida State at Duke 7:00 ET

Blue Devils (-) over Seminoles- These two ACC clubs are both ranked in the Top-10 with identical (20-3) records as Florida State is No. 8 and Duke at No. 7. The Blue Devils survived a scare at North Carolina where they trailed by 13 with 4:30 to go and managed to overcome the Tar Heels at the buzzer in overtime 98-96 while the Seminoles were cruising by Miami 99-81. High scoring Duke (2nd in the nation) is averaging 83.1 points per game while Florida State who is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall and 1-5 ATS after straight-up win. The Devils are also 2-5 ATS in their last seven but the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and and the 'line' says to me...lay it. Take DUKE!

Ohio State at Wisconsin 1:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin has lost three of their last four with their lone win over Michigan State who everyone seems to be beating these days and now Ohio State who had six losses in seven games has won their last three. The Buckeyes are actually 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall but when hot they stay hot and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 following a straight-up win. This is a different kind of season for the Badgers as their coaching change hasn't met previous standards as they are 5-11-2 ATS in their last 18 following a loss. Take OHIO STATE!

Cincinnati at Connecticut 12:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Bearcats- Cincinnati has won five in-a-row and are off of a 80-79 win over Wichita State while the Huskies have won three of their last four. The inconsistent Bearcats have posted these numbers; 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games, 6-17 ATS after a straight-up win and 3-9 ATS against a team with a winning record. Connecticut is 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 home games and the home team is 5-1 ATS in their series. Take the HUSKIES!

Butler at Marquette 1:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Golden Eagles- No. 19 Butler will try and subdue the Golden Eagles Markus Howard who could end up a lottery pick as they have won and covered six of their last seven. The Bulldogs off of a win over Villanova play with confidence after a win and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11. Marquette have been flying high and are playing great ball but are up against a better foe here. The Golden Eagles have 'covered' the last three meetings while Butler had covered the previous six. Take BUTLER!

Minnesota at Penn State 4:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Nittany Lions- No. 20 Penn State is headed to their first NCAA Tournament appearances in nine years, have won five straight and are off of a huge road win over No. 14 Michigan State on Tuesday. Minnesota is off of their biggest win over Wisconsin by their largest margin in 26 years and are looking for a season's sweep over the Lions. State is 11-1 SU at home this season and 8-4 ATS while the Gophers are 1-7 SU away from home. Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings and get the cash here. Take GOLDEN GOPHERS!

Seton Hall at Villanova 2:30 ET

Pirates (+) over Wildcats- No. 10 Villanova is off of back-to-back Big East losses and for the most part the common thought is that they will recover at home against Seton Hall. The problem is that the No. 12 Pirates who bring the Conference's leading scorer Myles Powell have different ideas. The Wildcats have the confidence that they will maintain the status-quo as they haven't lost at home to Seton Hall since 1994. But, it is a new era and the Hall is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall. Villanova just doesn't seem to have the 'it' favor this season and the Pirates have covered three of the last four meetings. Take SETON HALL!

Florida at Mississippi 2:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Gators- After losing four straight Florida has 'righted' the ship so to speak with a pair of wins at Vanderbilt and against Georgia but are still 0-4 ATS in their last four. Mississippi has has a rough go losing eighty of nine before taking out South Carolina 84-70 and have covered four straight. Although their record doesn't reflect it the Rebels are 15-6-1 ATS on Saturday's and 6-2 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Add that the underdog is 14-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings I say take the home dog. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh 2:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Panthers- This price looks a bit 'off' to me as 14-9 Pittsburgh who is 10-4 at home are such a meager favorite against sub-500 Georgia Tech. That is until I see that the Yellow Jackets are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games and the Panthers are 5-17-1 ATS at home and 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. Tech has won 3-of-4 since the return of their leading scorer and have won four of five in the series. Take GEORGIA TECH!

Kentucky at Tennessee 2:00 ET

Volunteers (+) over Wildcats- No. 15 Kentucky starts the second half of their SEC schedule trailing leader LSU by one games but that could all change this weekend as they leaders are matching up. Tennessee just snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Alabama Tuesday and are looking forward to hosting the Wildcats as they haven't lost to the Cats at home since Feb., 2015. As a matter of fact the Volunteers are 38-14-1 ATS in their last 53 games as a home underdog. The inconsistent (point wise) boys in blue are just 1-4 ATS as favorites in their last five and just 2-6-1 ATS after a straight-up win. Take TENNESSEE!

Maryland at Illinois 8:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Illini- As it should be these two will be battling for the top spot in the Big Ten as No. 9 Maryland invades Champaign on a five-game winning streak against No. 20 Illinois. These two met in their conference opener at Maryland where the Terps prevailed as a 10-point favorite winning 59-58 which moved the underdog to 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. But, here we have the Illini who are 12-1 SU at home in a virtual pick-em situation hosting and not given any room to win and not cover. Much too shallow a price. Take MARYLAND!

California at Colorado 8:00 ET

Buffaloes (-) over Golden Bears- No. 24 Colorado rebound from their lost at UCLA last Thursday by pounding USC 78-57 on Saturday. California won a squeaker over Oregon State last time out and are within 1-game of the break even mark (10-11) but, they are 0-6 both SU and ATS in the six true road games. The Buffaloes are 38-18-2ATS in their last 58 home games and 5-1 ATS as home favorites. Take COLORADO!

Cincinnati at Wichita State 7:00 ET

Bearcats (+) over Shockers- The Bearcats have won their last four and six of seven went 5-2 ATS during that span while Wichita State has dropped 3-of-5 and are 1-4-1 ATS in the last six games overall. The issue for Cincinnati is their play on the road and are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 and 3-13 ATS as a road underdog, but the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take the BEARCATS!

Connecticut at Tulsa 7:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Golden Hurricane- Tulsa is 15-6 SU on the season and have won their last six going 6-0 ATS and now they come up a meager favorite against a Connecticut team that is 0-6 SU on the road. The Golden Hurricane have won five straight at home against the Huskies and have lost only once at home. But, currently they are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games as home favorites. Three of the past five gams went overtime and the points should be good here. Take CONNECTICUT!

Seton Hall at Georgetown 8:30 ET

Hoyas (+) over Pirates- Georgetown shown plenty of heart by rallying from 17-points down against St. John's to pull out a 73-72 victory ending a 3-game slide and now face No. 13 Seton Hall who had their 10-game winning streak ended by Xavier last time out. In that contest the Musketeers went out to a 30-6 lead and were out-rebounded 51-22 and that simply show that Xavier wanted it more. The Hoyas are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and the home team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take GEORGETOWN!

Georgia at Florida 7:00 ET

Gators (-) over Bulldogs- Florida broke a 3-game losing streak by coming from behind to defeat Vanderbilt on Saturday while Georgia's win over Texas A&M was their first in five tries. The Bulldogs who are 2-6 in SEC play have the nation's leading freshman scorer in Anthony Edwards who averages 19.3 points per contest but will be facing a tough Gator defense. Georgia is just 3-8 ATS in their last 1 games following an ATS win. Take FLORIDA!

Iowa at Purdue 7:00 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Hawkeyes- Purdue has been one of the more inconsistent teams in college basketball this season and here they come being favored over No. 17 Iowa. The Hawkeyes lead the Big Ten in scoring averaging 78.9 points per contest and is led by junior center Luka Garza who is scoring 23 points per game. The Boilermakers trailed lowly Northwestern by 10 in the second half and rallied by scoring the final 11 points of the game to steal the victory. They are 9-2 SU at home and the odds-makers believe that they win here and so do I. (Why are they favored?) Take PURDUE!

Colorado State at Fresno State 9:00 ET

Bulldogs over Rams- This one seem a bit off as the 8-14 Bulldogs are favored over Colorado State who not only is 16-8 SU but are 6-1 ATS on the road and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall. When viewing this Fresno team it is difficult to justify a team that is 1-4-1 ATS in their last six home games and 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records. So, why or how do they become the favorite here, I'll tell you. The home team is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings and the 'best-goes-on'. Take the BULLDOGS!

Rutgers at Maryland 7:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Terrapins- No. 9 Maryland has posted four straight wins and have moved to within one-game of Big Ten leaders Michigan State and Illinois. Rutgers is off of a disappointing loss at Madison Square Garden Saturday against struggling Michigan and view this one as a crucial point in their season. The Terrapins won their last two road games and are 12-0 at home including 4-0 ATS in their last four as hosts but they have Illinois next and that might be a little distracting. The Scarlet Knights are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games overall and are 15-5-2 ATS against teams with winning records. Take RUTGERS!

Auburn at Arkansas 7:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- Auburn has been good to 'us' this season both with and against and now they are coming off of a huge win at home over Kentucky and have won four in-a-row since dropping a pair to Alabama and Florida. The Razorbacks broke a 3-game SEC losing streak with a 82-78 road win over Alabama and are now 4-4 in conference. The No. 18 Tigers are 8-0 in SEC action but are aware that LSU visits next and are already thinking about a letdown. Arkansas has 16 wins and that is no fluke as they lead the nation in 3-point field goal percentage defense (24.7) and top the SEC in steals pr games. Look for the RAZORBACKS to gore the Tigers. Take ARKANSAS!

Texas at Kansas 9:00 ET

Jayhawks (-) over Longhorns- Baylor might be the No. 1 team in the country but the Jayhawks are just 1-game behind in the Big-12 race for the top spot in the conference. Ranked No. 3 Kansas has won six straight with their last loss at home against NO. 1 Baylor three weeks ago. Although the road team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings the Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Texas who under Shaka Smart has been very disappointing for Longhorn backers going 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games overall and are just 1-7 ATS against winning teams. The Jayhawks who are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 overall as well as as favorites. Take KANSAS

Baylor at Kansas State 9:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Bears- The nation's No. 1 team certainly deserve their lofty ranking as they have reeled of 18 straight wins and are a splendid 14-6 ATS on the season including 5-0 ATS in true road games. Kansas State is having a down season at 9-12 but are 8-3 SU at home. The Bears have done it more with defense than anything else as they are fifth in the nation on scoring defense holding opponents to 58 points per game. The odd thing about this series is that the road team is 7-1-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the underdog 21-8-2 ATS in the last 31 meetings with K.State being favored most of the time. Take KANSAS STATE!

North Carolina at Florida State 7:00 ET

Seminoles (-) over Tar Heels- North Carolina who is having one of their worst season's in recent memory welcomed the return of freshman Cole Anthony on Saturday still fell short against Lowly Boston College 71-70 despite his 26 points. No. 6 Florida State had their 10-game winning streak stopped by Virginia a week ago but responded their last time out with a win at Virginia Tech. The Tar Heels are just 6-14 (30%) ATS this season and just don't measure up. The favorite is 3-0-1 ATS in their last four meetings and get it done again. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Georgetown at St. John's 1:00 ET

Hoyas (+) over Red Storm- A pair of Big East bottom feeders will battle to keep out of the baseball as St. John's hosts Georgetown in Madison Square Garden. This is the second meeting of the season between these two as the Hoyas crushed the Storm in the first first time out 87-66. Most would expect St. John's to rebound here and even the series but the 'number' tells me something else. Georgetown has lost three straight, 5-of-6 and 6-of-8 while the Red Storm have lost 7-of-9. The home team is 11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings but this game is not on the St. John's campus. Take GEORGETOWN!

Rutgers vs Michigan 4:30 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Wolverines- It hasn't been the best of season's for the Wolverines as they have been booted out of the Top-10 and will at this point need a deep run in their conference tournament to have a chance to qualify. This must be basketball as No. 25 Rutgers is looking for their first NCAA berth in 28 years and their first win ever over Michigan after 10 unsuccessful attempts. The Knights are 19-7-3 ATS in their last 29 games overall so the program is on an upswing while the Wolverines are 0-7-1 ATS against teams with a straight-up winning record and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Take RUTGERS!

Louisville at N.C. State 2:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Cardinals- The Cardinals come flying into Raleigh on a 7-game win streak while the ground Wolfpack has lost their last two losing to Middle of the roaders North Carolina and Georgia Tech after having defeated Virginia. NC State is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a home underdog and the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. No. 6 Louisville is 5-0 on the ACC road while and have won four of the last five meetings except for their last visit here to close the 2018 season. Take NC STATE!

Michigan State at Wisconsin 1:00 ET

Badgers (+) over Spartans- This is one of those contests that makes you scratch your head if you lose and say 'Why did I ever think that they could win.' Well, here it is Wisconsin who went through a major coaching change and Greg Gard just may not have the goods to get it done, After all the Badgers have been contenders for not only the Big Ten title but the NCAA as well. But, this year's team just hasn't measured up like season's past. Another issue now affects them as their leading scored Kobe King did not make the trip to Iowa and has dropped out and is going to transfer. To make matters worst Brad Davidson was suspended for 1-game for a Flagrant-1 foul on Monday against the Hawkeyes. Whisky has lost their last two and of course MSU is off of a route of Northwestern. But, the Spartans are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games when favored and the Badgers are 4-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records and the home team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take WISCONSIN!

V.C.U at Rhode Island 7:00 ET

VCU Rams over RI Rams- Two of the Atlantic-10 better clubs go at it in Rhode Island where the Rams will host Virginia Commonwealth. VCU has some wonderful trends to support their backers as they are 25-10 ATS in their last 35 as road favorites and are 12-5- ATS in their last 17 games following an ATS win. URI meanwhile is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall but just 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine home games as underdogs. Also note that the favorites is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take VCU!

Colorado at UCLA 11:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Buffalos- The days of competing for National Championships is long gone for UCLA as they limp along at 10-10 having lost seven of their last 10 outright. Colorado has been surprisingly better than anyone expected and are ranked No. 20 but have struggled on the road. The Buffs are 13-37-1 ATS in their last 52 road games and just 4-12 ATS as road favorites. UCLA who is 3-8 ATS overall in their last 11 and only 5-15 ATS as underdogs and 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Colorado has won four straight in this series and it has been over three years since a Bruins win, but that changes at least against the points tonight. Take UCLA!

Arizona at Washington 9:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Wildcats- Arizona is a perfect example of what west coast college sports is all about, as they always fall short when needed the most. The Wildcats blew a 22-point lead against arch-rival Arizona State on Saturday and lost 66-65. So now, the Pac-12 preseason favorites are now 0-4 on the road having lost to Baylor, Oregon, Oregon State and the Sun Devils while the Huskies handed No. 1 Baylor their only loss of the season back in the Alaska Shootout. Take WASHINGTON!

Minnesota at Illinois 7:30 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Illini- Last season the Illini won just seven of 20 Big Ten games and this season they already have seven wins will 11 more conference games to go. Minnesota is playing their second straight game against a ranked opponent as they were outclassed at Michigan State losing 70-52 last time out. The Golden Gophers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up loss and 7-3 ATS against teams with winning records. Illinois has been inconsistent following an ATS win going 9-20-1 ATS in their next 30 games. Take MINNESOTA!

Arizona State at Washington State 11:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Sun Devils- I always have reservations when having to 'play' against Bobby Hurley as I believe that he is a winner. Arizona State pulled off the upset of their season overcoming a 22-point deficit and defeating ranked arch rival Arizona 66-65 winning their second straight and final of a 3-game home stand. Washington State took to the road and was trashed at Utah and Colorado and returns home where they are 9-2 SU and 5-1 ATS as an underdog. The Cougars bounce back here as the Sun Devils are 4-10-1 ATS as road favorites. Take WASHINGTON STATE!

Baylor at Iowa State 9:00 ET

Cyclones (+) over Bears- No. 1 Baylor has won 16 straight and certainly are deserving of their ranking as they have been the best and most consistent of all the previous No. 1 ranked teams (7 others). Iowa State has been disappointing (9-10) to date and have lost 3-of-4 including a home loss to Auburn last time out while the Bears were putting away Florida in Gainesville. The series is a virtual 'push' with the Cyclones holding a slim 20-19 edge but winning 14 of 17 in Ames. Bad spot for Baylor...take IOWA STATE!  

Memphis at Central Florida 7:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Tigers- I'm really beginning to wonder what is going on in Memphis as losses and troubles mount. The Tigers were rolling along at 12-1 becoming respected nationally and ranked in the Top-25 and now have lost their last two and 4-of-6 and are 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. They have seemed to have lost their 'mojo' as they were pounded at Tulsa 80-40 and returned home and were beaten by SMU. Central Florida is off of a loss at Wichita State but is 7-2 in their last nine games as an underdog and 18-7 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

Dayton at Duquesne 7:00 ET

Dukes (+) over Flyers- Sometimes even in this challenging industry filled with agony and joy I have to laugh at myself. From the get-go I have been waiting to play 'on' the Flyers as I was impressed early with what I saw out of them. Okay, fast forward to today and I'm and so 'against' Dayton here I could not see straight. But, the Dukes are the side as I have also taken note that Duquesne at 15-4 and 8-0 SU at home is more than worthy of support. The ATS number are all saying the Flyers have a huge money making edge but, that's why we call it gambling. Take DUQUESNE!

Alabama at L.S. U. 7:00 ET

Crimson Tide (+) over Tigers- Since their road loss at Kentucky the Crimson Tide have won four straight and are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. LSU has been on a win streak of their own posting eight straight wins but only going 1-4-1 ATS in their last six. Alabama is 14-2 ATS in their last 16 games overall while the favorite is 16-5-1 ATS in the last 22 meetings. It comes out as a buzzer beater and the points might help...take ALABAMA!

Butler at Georgetown 9:00 ET

Hoyas over Bulldogs- No. 16 Butler ended a four-game losing streak with an overtime win against Marquette a non-cover win that has them 0-4 ATS in their last four overall. Georgetown who has had a plethora of issues this season after a quick start has dropped their last two and five of seven. They Hoyas are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games and the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. The Bulldogs are without a pair of key contributors and the smallish Hoya front line will hustle their way to a win. Take GEORGETOWN!

Auburn at Mississippi 9:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Tigers- So here was Auburn 15-0 ranked No. 4 before dropping a pair of road games at Alabama and Florida and even after recovering with two wins dropped to No. 16. Mississippi meanwhile finally broke their losing streak of six games with a road win at Georgia their first SEC win 1-5 of the season. Maybe the pollsters know what they are doing dropping the Tigers so harshly as they are just 3-7 ATTS in their last 10 as favorites. Ol Miss with their losing streak is 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games overall but that is behind them now. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Purdue at Rutgers 8:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Scarlet Knights- One thing we know for sure is that with this line and Rutgers ranking No. 25 that this is not a football game. The Scarlet Knights who own the best home record in college basketball at 14-0 are a meager favorite against an underachieving Purdue team that lacks consistency. The Boilermakers are 0-5 ATS after a straight-up win and just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games while the State U. of New Jersey is 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. But, the 'price' is cheap and Purdue allows a Big Ten low 60 per-game ranked 11 in the nation. Take the BOILERMAKER!

Florida State at Virginia 7:00 ET

Cavaliers over Seminoles- No. 5 Florida State winners of ten straight are visiting the defending National Champs who have played like they are still hungover from last year's achievement. Virginia had lost four of five before taking down Wake Forest in overtime Sunday. This was a tough hard fought win that is the Cavaliers style, coach Tony Bennett burst into song after his troops rallied from 12-points down in the second half. The Seminoles are trying to fill the void in the FSU program after horrible seasons on the gridiron but in basketball the 'tribe' doesn't accept the role well as they are 2-6 ATS as favorites and 3-7 ATS after a SU win. The Cavs are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 overall but rise here. Take VIRGINIA!

Villanova at St. John's 6:30 ET

Red Storm (+) over Wildcats- I know that I made a mistake posting Providence against Villanova on Saturday as I should have waited until today to play 'against' the Wildcats and I'll tell you why. To start with No. 8 ranked Villanova has won six straight while doing it on defense allowing 62.7 points per contest during that span. St. John's who is much improved this season especially at home where they are 10-3 SU and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games when hosting. The Red Storm have won 2-of-3 meetings and are 5-0-1 ATS at home and 6-1 ATS as a home underdog. The Wildcats are 2-3 ATS on the road this season and just 3-9-1 ATS on the road in their last 13. Take ST.JOHN'S!

Wisconsin at Iowa 8:30 ET

Badgers (+) over Hawkeyes- No.19 Iowa is trying to make a move in the Big Ten and has won four straight while Wisconsin continues to be inconsistent losing 2-of-3 while going 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games overall. The Badgers who are 7-3 SU since Micah Potter became eligible and have won eight of the last 10 meetings against Iowa. Wisconsin's struggles are a product of a 3-7 ATS road record but the road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Hawkeyes are 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight home games but will get caught here by a team that is desperate for a victory. Take WISCONSIN!

Xavier at Creighton 4:00 ET

Musketeers (+) over Bluejays- In the mist of a 3-game losing streak and going just 1-6-1 ATS in their previous eight games Xavier ended the losing with a 66-57 win over Georgetown. Creighton has won 3-of-4 including a 77-65 victory at Xavier two weeks ago. The Musketeers whose ATS record has been disappointing is still 9-4 ATS as an underdog and the underdog in this series is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings...take XAVIER!

Michigan State at Minnesota 3:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Spartans- After dropping two of three both on the road Michigan State has fallen a half-game behind Illinois for the Big Ten lead. Minnesota has won 3-of-4 but dropped a 74-58 decision to the Spartans on Jan. 9 but are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Michigan State is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as road favorites and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MINNESOTA!

Maryland at Indiana 1:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Hoosiers- This reminds me of the Hoosiers of old as they have won five straight home games against ranked opponents including their 67-63 win over Michigan State on Friday night. Maryland has won their last two after having dropped a pair on the road at Wisconsin and Iowa but are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games overall. This has been a home and favorite dominated series of late with the favorite going 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings while the home team is 5-1 ATS. The trouble here for the Hoosiers is that they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up win and 1-4 ATS as favorites. The Terrapins one the first meeting this season 75-59 in Maryland and I expect a repeat performance here. Take MARYLAND!

Kentucky at Texas Tech 6:00 ET

Red Raiders over Wildcats- No. 18 Texas Tech is looking to regroup in this SEC/Big-12 Challenge as they are just 3-3 in conference play and are hosting No. 14 Kentucky who is coming off of SEC wins over Georgia and Arkansas. The Wildcats who have won each of their victories by seven points or more are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as road underdogs but just 2-5 ATS after a straight-up win. The Red Raiders are looking to bounce back from their last at TCU this week are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall but are 10-2 ATS on Saturdays. Take TEXAS TECH!

T.C.U. At Arkansas 4:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Razorbacks- This SEC/Big-12 Challenge has brought together this pair of clubs that both should receive bids to the Big Dance before it is all said and done. TCU bounced back last time out with a win over Texas Tech after having lost their previous two by a combined 52 points while Arkansas fell to Mississippi State. The Horned Frogs lead the Big-12 in 3-pointers made per game with 9.7 and the Razorbacks are just 3-7 ATS as home favorites. In what will be a close one...take TCU! 4

L.S.U. At Texas 2:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Tigers- Texas was expecting big things to happen when they hired Shaka Smart from VCU and what they got last time out was the biggest loss (97-59) for the Longhorns since 1971. Smart is now 22-38 over the last four seasons in Big-12 play and Texas is 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall including 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. Now, LSU has won seven in-a-row and are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games but 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games as favorites. Take the LONGHORNS!

Mississippi State at Oklahoma 2:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Sooners- After three straight losses to open the SEC season Mississippi State has responded with three straight home wins as they take to the road here against Oklahoma. The Sooners have lost three of four but are off of a valiant performance against No. 1 Baylor falling 61-57. The Bulldogs are 4-1 in their last five road games and are 7-1 ATS in their last eight Saturday games while Oklahoma is 4-11 ATS in their last 15 but 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as a home favorite. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Villanova at Providence 1:00 ET

Friars (+) over Wildcats- Interesting Big East matchup between No. 9 Villanova and Providence as the Wildcats have won five straight as they are 5-1 in conference action. In comparative scores the Wildcats defeated Butler by 15 while the Friars lost to the Bulldogs by 12 and that would make most gravitate to Villanova but this is the smallest 'number' in this series that the Wildcats have been favored in over 20 meetings and they are just 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 road games and 1-6-1 ATS as road favorites. Take PROVIDENCE!

Marquette at Butler 9:00 ET

Bulldogs (-) over Golden Eagles- Like ships passing in the night these two Big East clubs are moving in opposite directions as No. 12 Butler is on a 3-game slide while the Golden Eagles have won their last three. With Markus Howard leading the way Marquette is climbing the conference ladder as he leads the Big East in scoring at 31.7. Butler has shown the ability to bounce back in the past as they are 5-2 following a loss and the Eagles are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog. In need of a good effort (specifically on defense) the Bulldogs bite...take BUTLER!

Wisconsin and Purdue 7:00 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Badgers- Boy, I hate even thinking about backing Purdue although their one cover in their last six games was a 71-42 Megabucks beating they handed Michigan State. Wisconsin is 7-2 since Micah Potter entered the line-up as the Badgers are off of a school record 18 3-pointers against hapless Nebraska and I expect that performance is fall off a great deal. The Boilermakers have been underachievers to date but are still 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the favorite 5-2 in the last seven. Take PURDUE!

Kent State at Buffalo 6:30 ET

Golden Flashes (+) over Bulls- This one sets up as it should with oner team Kent State coming off three straight losses while the host Buffalo has four straight win under their belt. Not only have the Flashes been losing but their ATS record is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games while the Bulls are just 2-6 ATS after a straight-up win. It's just time that both these team moves toward the middle which means each other. Take KENT STATE!

Connecticut at Houston 9:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Cougars- Houston is off of their biggest win in the AAC as they took down Wichita State (Megabucks winners) Saturday 65-54 and have won eight of their last nine. The Cougars forced the Shockers into missing 18 consecutive shots and held them to a season's los 30.4 percent shooting from the field. Connecticut is off of a loss to former Big East rival Villanova 61-55 after losing by 23 and 20 points the two previous meetings. Houston is 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall but the underdog is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the road team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take CONNECTICUT!

Michigan State at Indiana 8:30 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- Michigan State leads the Big Ten after their impressive 67-55 home win over a hot Wisconsin team rebounding from their 29-point loss at Purdue and have won 9-of-10. Indiana who is 11-1 straight-up at home this season and are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog but just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall and are looking for a better performance. State is 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 1-6 ATS as road favorites while the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take INDIANA!

Minnesota at Ohio State 6:30 ET

Buckeyes (-) over Golden Gophers- Ohio State has fallen from a No. 2 ranking to out of the Top-25 as they have lost five of their last six games. Minnesota who just lost at home to Rutgers is 0-6 SU on the road and are just 2-4 ATS as visitors. Despite their slump of late Ohio State is 10-4 ATS as a home favorite and the home team is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings and the favorite is 20-7 ATS in the last 27 meetings. The 'numbers' tell the tale. Take OHIO STATE!

Cincinnati at Temple 7:00 ET

Owls (+) over Bearcats- Cincinnati has won four of five after a slow start while Temple has lost four of five with their lone win over Wichita State at home. The Bearcats like their football team looks good until the pressure is on and then they fold, especially on the road where they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games and 9-21 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The Owls are 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings with Cincinnati taking the last two. Bounce back for the Owls here. Take TEMPLE!

Texas Tech at Texas Christian 8:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Red Raiders- This pair of Big-12 clubs have the same overall and conference records but have gotten there quite differently. No. 18 Texas Tech has won their last two games by double-digits against Kansas State and Iowa State while TCU is off of losses to West Virginia and Oklahoma by a combined 52 points. Both of those losses were road games where the Horned Frogs are just 1-3 while posting an 11-2 home record. A look here shows that the Red Raiders are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite and 2-6 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Wichita State at South Florida 7:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Shockers- No. 22 Wichita State has dropped their last two to Temple and Houston (Both Megabucks winners) and now they travel to Orlando to face the struggling Bulls. South Florida has lost its last three but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog and a amazing 23-9 in their last 32 games following an ATS win. The Shockers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 road games but are in a funk as of now. Take SOUTH FLORIDA!

Butler at Villanova 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- A pair of Big East clubs that are changing directions has No. 11 Villanova has won 10 of their last 11 SU while No. 12 Butler has dropped their last two conference games after starting the season 15-1. The Bulldogs are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 4-0 as an underdog. The Wildcats who are 31-15 ATS in their last 46 home games have slipped after a straight-up win going 5-12-1 ATS and are just 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. Take BUTLER!

Temple at S.M.U 8:00 ET

Owls (+) over Mustangs- We had a nice little deal with the Owls this week as they rise to take down Wichita State and now it's off to over-rated SMU who has lost their last two SU and three ATS. Temple seems to play up to their competition and is 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a home winning record over .600 and they are 4-1 ATS on the road against winning teams. If it is to be anybody it is the underrated Owls...take TEMPLE!

Houston at Wichita State 4:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Shockers- We are celebrating Temple's upset of Wichita State Wednesday while the loser may still be in shock and it may take them time to recover. Houston meanwhile is off of a 71-62 win over SMU where the dominated the boards grabbing a 45-34 advantage. The Cougars are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games and 14-6 ATS against teams with 60% wins. The Shockers surprisingly have a fundamental flaw and have committed more turnovers than assists in eight of their last 10 games. I feel the line is short and it makes the Shockers like inviting. Don't...take HOUSTON!

Missouri at Alabama 3:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- After taking care of business for 'us' last Saturday against Florida the Missouri got pounded at Mississippi State 72-45 and have now lost 3-of-4. Alabama did 'us' a cerise as our Megabucks winner over Auburn last time out crushing their hated rival 83-64. So, it only stands to reason the The Tigers bounce back from a beating and the Crimson Tide ebb out as fall short after a huge win. I can add a lot of other stuff like the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings or more like Alabama is 9-0 ATS at home. See...enough. Take MISSOURI!

Purdue at Maryland 2:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Terrapins- This is a tough spot for Purdue as they recovered from their double-over-time loss to Michigan by routing Michigan State 71-42 and now stay on the road against Maryland who has dropped two straight Big Ten games and are 9-0 at home. But they say defense travels well and the Boilermakers can do that holding opponents under 60 points a game. The fact is as well as the Terrapins have played in the Big Ten they are just 1-5 ATS against Purdue and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. This is pot a game you win on paper...Take the BOILERMAKERS!

West Virginia at Kansas State 2:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Mountaineers- This is a difficult call as playing against Bob Huggins is always a battle. West Virginia just pounded TCU 81-49 as they held the Horned Frogs to their lowest output of the season. The Mountaineers lead the nation is defensive field goal percent and are second in 3-point defense. Kansas State is 0-4 in Big-12 action and is off of a 30 turnover performance, I expect coach Bruce Weber to have the Wildcats playing fundamental basketball otherwise they get hurt. But, this might help, WVU is 1-7-1 ATS against teams with losing records and the Wildcats (7-9) fill the bill. Take KANSAS STATE!

Michigan at Iowa 9:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Hawkeyes- Michigan who opened the season 7-0 was ranked No. 4 at one time before they hit a wall and are 4-5 SU in their last nine games and have dropped to No. 19 in the national rankings. These two have already met once this season back on December 6 as the Wolverines posted a 103-91 victory over the Hawkeyes who are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games. Most would think that Iowa will come up big at home in the second meeting of the season after bowing in the first but Michigan is 10-1-1 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take MICHIGAN

Oregon State at Washington 11:00 ET

Beavers (+) over Huskies- Washington has hit a rough patch losing four of five without point guard Quade Green and are now 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a straight-up loss. Oregon State on the other hand is 6-1 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 road games overall. Although the Beavers have lost 15 straight to the Huskies in Seattle the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the dog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OREGON STATE!

Colorado at Arizona State 9:00 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Buffalos- This is the second time that these two Pac-12 clubs will be facing each other this season, the first encounter a 81-71 win by Colorado a game played in Shanghai, China didn't count in the conference standings. The No. 20 ranked Buffaloes are off of a huge 91-52 win over Utah and have won six of seven going 5-2 ATS. The Buffs have won six of the past nine meetings but are 0-6 at Tempe Su in their last six trips to Tempe. Arizona State has had the toughest non-conference schedule in the Pac-12 and that experience will help here. Colorado is just 4-12 ATS in their last 16 as road favorites and 14-37-1 ATS in their last 52 road games overall. Take ARIZONA STATE!

Cincinnati at Memphis 7:00 ET

Bearcats (+) over Tigers- A pair of the better AAC defensive clubs clash in Memphis where the No. 22 Tigers host Cincinnati who had lost four of six before winning back-to-back games against Tulsa and Central Florida. The Bearcats picked up their defensive effort in those two wins allowing just 44 and 5 points. Kike tonight's opponent Memphis had dropped a pair to Wichita State and Georgia before rebounding for a hard fought 68-64 win at South Florida. Cincinnati's basketball team like their football team struggles against the points spread and are 1-5 ATS on the road and 8-20 ATS overall in their last 28. But, the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take CINCINNATI!

Stanford at UCLA 10:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Cardinal- Now, you tell me that this line doesn't look strange. Here is Stanford 14-2 SU, 3-0 in Pac-12 action and 12-4 ATS this season. So, they playing the pedestrian Bruins who are 8-8 and 6-9 ATS with losses in five of their last six games. The Cardinal have won three straight and seven of eight and are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games as a favorite. UCLA is 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall and yet this line opened less than a shot beyond the arch. But, here it is the clincher...the home team is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take UCLA!

Penn State at Minnesota 9:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Golden Gophers- Like their football counterpart the Golden Gophers are putting up wins against Top-25 ranked clubs and are off of a 76-67 win over No.19 Michigan. Penn State was 12-2 with wins over Ohio State and Iowa before dropping their last two and dropped out of the Top-25 rankings. Now, 2-3 in Big Ten action the Lions has slumped at 1-4-1 ATS in their last six overall but are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 road games. Take PENN STATE!

Auburn at Alabama 9:00 ET

Crimson Tide (+) over Tigers- For a team that is 15-0 straight-up No.4 Auburn has been nothing but mediocre ATS going 8-7. The Tigers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games but are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as favorites. The goof here is that Alabama is 8-7 SU but a huge profit making 12-3 ATS on the season. As a matter of fact the Tide is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 8-0 ATS in their last eight games at home. Auburn is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings but get caught in a rivals nest. Take ALABAMA!

Wichita State at Temple 9:00 ET

Owls (+) over Shockers- This really is a tough call as the No. 16 Shockers are a tough bunch and are continually under-rated as they are the lone undefeated (3-0) AAC team left with Temple at 1-3 with three January losses. Wichita State is battle tested and has the second longest true road winning streak (8-0) in the nation is 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 as visitors. The Owls who lead the conference in 3-point defense (28%) scrap back and are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 after a double-digit loss. Ad that the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take TEMPLE!

Indiana at Rutgers 7:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Let me start by saying that I don't understand the 'move' that has been made on the Scarlet Knight here against Indiana. The Hoosiers have rebounded from a pair of losses two Arkansas and No. 17 Maryland before defeating Ohio State on Saturday. Rutgers reeled off seven straight wins since December 11 but were upended at Illinois Saturday but they are 8-0 ATS in their last eight and 9-1 ATS in their last 10. Indiana is just 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall but are 7-2 SU in their last nine Big Ten games. Take INDIANA!

Maryland at Wisconsin 9:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Badgers- No. 17 Maryland looks to rebound from their worst Big Ten offensive performance in six years scoring just 49 points in their loss to Iowa. Wisconsin who has won five of six since the return of Micah Potter are still just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as favorites. Although the home team is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings and the Terrapins are 0-3 in their three true road games after their performance last time out I expect this to go down to the final horn...take the points with MARYLAND!

Texas Tech at Kansas State 8:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Red Raiders- These two Big-12 competitors are both on the wrong side of streaks with the Red Raiders having lost to a pair of ranked teams No. 2 Baylor and No. 12 West Virginia while the 7-8 Wildcats have lost three straight and five of six. Texas Tech opened Big-12 play with a rout of Oklahoma State 85-50 their most lopsided Big-12 win in school history. Tech has struggle as a favorite this season going 1-7 ATS in their last eight in that role. Kansas State hasn't been any better in the opposite role going 1-6 ATS in their last seven as an underdog. Wildcats coach Bruce Weber admits he was disappointed State's second half performance against Texas and vied that they would be better tonight. Take KANSAS STATE!

Louisville at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Cardinals- No. 11 Louisville has won their last two games including a thrilling 67-64 win at Notre Dame after consecutive losses to Kentucky and Florida State while Pittsburgh is off of a lackluster performance at Miami where they fell behind 16-0 to start the games and started the second half on the wrong end of a 16-4 run. The Cardinals who 6-2-1 ATS as favorites are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight road games when playing a team will a winning home record. The Panthers have struggled as an underdog going 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 in that role and just 1-5-1 ATS as a home dog. But, the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and with Putt's poor effort last time out I believe they will be ready tonight. Take PANTHERS!

Utah at Colorado 6:00 ET

Buffaloes (-) over Utes- Colorado got the tough part done by defeating ranked Oregon 74-65 and then fell against the lesser Oregon State 76-68. For Utah it has been just the opposite as they lost to Oregon and defeated Oregon State. This line appears a bit 'strong' to me as Utah is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games and 7-2 ATS as a road underdog but the favorite and the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Although the Buffaloes are just 3-7 ATS as a home favorite but they are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games at home. Take COLORADO!

Michigan State at Purdue 12:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Spartans- I'm still sick about losing with Purdue (+5.5) in double-overtime 84-78 last time out but have the solace that 'we' won with MSU easily last time out. The Spartans are 5-0 in Big Ten play and lead the nation in assists with 19.8 per game while Purdue has won 14 straight conference games at home. Michigan State is just 1-5 ATS as road favorites and the home team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings and Purdue is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 home games and 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 following a straight-up loss. Take PURDUE

Florida at Missouri 8:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Gators- After a mini 4-game win streak the Tigers have dropped their last two losing at Kentucky and at home against Tennessee. Florida has won their last three and after falling to Butler and Utah State. The are Gators 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games but are currently just 1-4 After a straight-up win. The Tigers are 7-4 SU at home and are in a great spot to pul off the upset. Take MISSOURI!

Texas Tech at West Virginia 6:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Mountaineers- A pair of Big-12 teams that do something their football counterpart don't do and that is...play defense. No. 21 Texas Tech fell to Baylor (Megabuck winner) and now will bounce back at West Virginia who lead the conference in field goal defense 35.7 no matter as the Red Raiders are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and West Virginia is 9-20-2 ATS at home and 7-15-1 ATS on Saturday's. Take TEXAS TECH!

Oklahoma State at Texas Christian 2:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Horned Frogs- Oklahoma State has taken it to the road where they are 6-1 TAS in their last seven games TCU is 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five after a straight-up win. Horned Frogs enter with three straight wins and a big one for us last week while the Cowboys have dropped their last two. Line seems shy and I expect OK State to snap their two-game slide. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!
