50* Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Minnesota -4.5)

The Terrapins come in having won 5 straight and are ranked No. 22 in the country, while Minnesota is unranked and comes in having lost 4 straight, yet the Gophers are a decent 4.5-point favorite here. The books are begging for action on Maryland and the public is following suit. I think the value here is with Minnesota, who is a lot better than their record of late would lead on and I'm not sold on the Terrapins being as good as people think. Give me the Gophers -4.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Florida -2.5)

I'll take my chances with the Gators as a short road favorite against the Sooners. Florida is one of the few elite teams in the SEC and Oklahoma is just middle of the pack in the Big 12. The Gators have proven themselves against some good teams outside the conference, playing Gonzaga, Duke and Florida State all tough. The Sooners on the other hand lost to Auburn on a neutral court and the Tigers are middle of the back at best in the SEC. They also got destroyed by 20 at Wisconsin and lost to a Clemson team that's got one win in ACC play. Give me the Gators -2.5!

40* NCAAB Early Bird ATS Shocker (Clemson -2)

I'm strictly playing the odds here. Clemson comes into this game having lost 6 straight both straight up and against the spread, yet are a road favorite against a Pittsburgh team that despite their recent struggles has some decent wins on their resume. Both teams are better than what they have shown of late, but my more here is on the Tigers, who I feel has played the tougher schedule in the ACC to this point. Give me Clemson -2!

50* NBA Western Conference Game of the Month (Grizzlies -1)

Grizzlies comes into this one off a 101-99 win at home over the Raptors, where they failed to cover as a 5.5-point favorite. That was a tough loss for Memphis backers, as they really had control of that game. I believe it has the Grizzlies undervalued here on the road against the Blazers. This is the first of a 6-game road trip and I look for Memphis to do whatever they can to make sure they start the trip off on the right foot. I also love how the Grizzlies matchup with Portland. So much of what the Blazers do is about Lillard and McCollum. Memphis can counter those two with Conley and Allen. On the flip side, Portland really has no answer for Grizzlies big man Marc Gasol. Memphis is 7-3 ATS in last 10 games at Portland and 15-6 ATS in their last 21 against the west. Give me the Grizzlies -1!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Michigan -3.5)

The Wolverines are showing some great value here as a short home favorite against Indiana. Michigan is 11-2 at home this season and have really started to come on strong of late. Sandwiched between two comfortable wins at hime over Nebraska and Illinois, was a mere 4-point loss at Wisconsin as a 10.5-point dog. Indiana has won 3 straight, but only one of them came on the road and that was by just 3-points against the likes of Penn State. The Hoosiers simply aren't as good as what they were made out to be and are dealing with some big injuries right now. OG Anunoby was lost for the season on 1/20 and Juwan Morgan is questionable with a foot injury. Give me Michigan -3.5! 

40* NBA Situational ATS Shocker (Pacers +3.5)

I'm backing the Pacers as a short road dog against the Timberwolves tonight. Indiana comes in having lost 3 straight, but I still like what I see from this team, as they are 7-4 in their last 11. Minnesota has been playing much better of late as well, but this is a young team that can't be trusted. The Timberwolves have won 3 straight, but could have easily lost all 3. Each of those wins came by 3-points or less. I believe Indiana is the better team and I also believe this is a top spot for Minnesota. They finished up a 3-game road trip in LA on 1/19, returned home for one game against the Nuggets, flew back out west for one game against the Suns and now are back home against the Pacers. Give me the Pacers +3.5! 

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Nebraska +8.5)

The Cornhuskers are worth a look here as a decently priced dog against Northwestern. Nebraska will be out for revenge from a 8-point loss at home to the Wildcats earlier this month, plus they want to snap a 4-game losing streak. Something they have been close to doing in each of their last two games, falling 66-67 to Ohio State and 64-65 at Rutgers. While Nebraska is undervalued after a 4-game slide, Northwestern is overvalued after 4 straight wins. I just think these are two more evenly matched teams than this spread would suggest. Give me the Cornhuskers +8.5! 

50* NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month (Grizzlies -5.5)

I'll gladly back Memphis at this price at home against a Raptors team that is not only running on fumes, but without their best player in DeMar Derozan, who is averaging 27.9 ppg on roughly 10 made field goals a game. That's a lot of offense for Toronto to replace and to make matters worse they are playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set and 3rd in the last 4 days overall. Not to mention they are catching the Grizzlies in a foul mood, as Memphis was just embarrassed on their home floor 95-119 by the Rockets. Give me the Grizzlies -5.5!

40* NBA Over/Under Total Dominator (OVER 215)

I think we are getting some value here on this total and a big reason for that is the Nets come in off an awful offensive showing in a 86-112 loss at home to the Spurs. That was the game where San Antonio rested just about all their key players and that clearly had a negative impact on the motivation for the Nets. I expect a big bounce back performance from Brooklyn offensively, as they had scored 105 or more in each of their previous 5 games. I also expect the defense to continue to struggle, as they have allowed 100+ in 20 straight games. Miami is one of the better defensive teams, but I don't see them having a ton of energy on that side of the ball after their huge upset win at home over the Warriors. Give me the OVER 215!

40* NCAAB Situational ATS Knockout (Connecticut -7)

This might seem like a big number for UConn to be laying on the road, but I think they have no problem covering this number. The Huskies have been playing much better of late, but are just 3-6 in their last 9. Each of their last 4 losses came on the road against quality teams in SMU, Georgetown, Memphis and Tulsa. In between those were impressive home wins over UCF (64-49) and Temple (73-59). Now I know this one is away from home, but South Florida doesn't have much of a home court edge and we have already seen the Bulls lose by 15 at home to Tulane. They also just lost by 12 at home to Tulsa. USF is just 8-19 ATS in their last 27 as a home underdog and just 4-14 ATS in their last 18 home games when playing only the 2nd game in a week span. Give m the Huskies -7!

40* NCAAB Vegas Dog of the Day (Georgia Tech +10.5)

The Yellow Jackets have been up and down this season. The best of example of that, is they knock off North Carolina at home 75-63 as a 17-point dog and then go on the road and lose 67-110 at Duke. They lose by 15 at home to Louisville, rebound with wins at home over Clemson and at NC State. Last time out they got beat pretty bad in a 49-62 loss at Virginia and most are going to just assume FSU rolls them here, but I think this is a prime spot for the Yellow Jackets to poentially pull off an upset. The Seminoles just got done playing a brutal 4-game stretch, where they hosted Duke, were at UNC and then returned home for games against Notre Dame and Louisville. I just don't see a max effort here from FSU. Give me the Yellow Jackets +10.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster ATS Blowout (Providence -7)

The Friars are worth a look here in a big bounce back spot at home. Providence went on the road and gave Villanova all they could handle in a 10-point loss. Now they are back on their home floor, where they have gone 11-1 this season and will face a St. John's team that hasn't been competitive of late. The Red Storm come in off a 13-point loss at Seton Hall, which is the 5th time in their last 6 games they have lost by 10 or more. The only exception coming at home against a bad DePaul team. I look for the Friars to jump out to a big lead early and cruise to a comfortable win and cover int his one. Give me Providence -7!

40* NCAAB No Doubt Bookie Blowout (Iowa State -3.5)

Hilton Coliseum is no easy place for opposing teams to play and this Cyclones team is desperate for wins right now, as they still need to beef up that resume to make the NCAA Tournament. Kansas State is getting way too much respect here against a hungry and motivated ISU team and I think the Cyclones could turn this into a blowout. Give me Iowa State -3.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Syracuse -3)

The Orange are with a look here as a short home favorite against the Demon Deacons. Syracuse comes into this one off back to back losses at North Carolina and Notre Dame. Those are two elite teams that rarely lose at home. Wake on the other hand comes in off a 93-88 win at home over NC State, but they caught the Wolfpack looking ahead to Duke. Prior to the losses, Syracuse had really been playing a lot better basketball. They had won by 15 at home over Miami and 11 over Pittsburgh. Now it's Wake that has Duke looming next on their schedule. Give me the Orange -3!

40* NBA Over/Under Total No Brainer (UNDER 205.5)

I'm expecting a high-scoring game here between the Bulls and Magic. Orlando comes in allowing 114.2 ppg over their last 5 and the Bulls aren't exactly locking down teams, especially bad teams on the road. Chicago can play good defense, but only when they want to. I don't see the Magic bringing out the best in the Bulls on that side of the ball. I look for both teams to be able to get up and down the floor and fly over this number. Give me the OVER 205.5!

40* NBA Dog of the Day (76ers +5)

No Embiid for the 76ers and Blake Griffin is making his return for the Clippers, the books are begging for you to take Los Angeles as a short road favorite. The thing is, when a star player like Griffin comes back to the lineup after a long time being out, there's some rust and it messes up the chemistry. Not to mention the Clippers aren't exactly going to be locked into this game with a showdown against the Warriors in Golden State on deck. Emiid might not be in the lineup tonight, but he's got this Philadelphia team and fan base believing they are a legit team. I think they keep playing with that same fire and wouldn't be shocked if they won here outright. Give me the 76ers +5!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Michigan State +2.5)

I believe the books have the wrong team favored in this one. Michigan State comes in having lost 2 straight and 3 of their last 4, but all 3 of those losses came with the Spartans playing away from their home court. Michigan State is 9-1 at home and I expect them to take down the Boilermakers here. Purdue comes in off back-to-back blowout wins at home over Illinois and Penn State, which has them way overvalued here. Keep in mind this is a team that just recently lost at Iowa and that was a team they had beat at home by 20+. Give me the Spartans +2.5!

40* NBA Over/Under Total Knockout (UNDER 204)

I think the UNDER is worth a look tonight when the Thunder visit the Jazz. Utah is one of the elite defensive teams in the NBA, allowing just 95.3 ppg (only giving up 93.3 ppg at home). I think the Jazz are going to take some pride here in shutting down Westbrook and OKC. It wouldn't be the first time this season, as Utah won 109-89 at home against the Thunder back on 12/14. That was the 5th straight game in the series that's been played at Utah and gone under the total. Give me the UNDER 204!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Blowout (Texas -2)

I'm willing to lay this short number on the Longhorns at home against the Sooners. It's no secret that these two programs don't like each other and I look for Texas to lay it all on the line here, as they try and snap a 5-game losing streak. The thing with the Longhorns is they aren't playing nearly as bad as their record would indicate. They simply have struggled to close out games against the top level teams. Oklahoma had a huge upset win at West Virginia, but then turned around and lost at home to Iowa State and are just 2-8 in their last 10. This is a great spot for Texas to get back in the win column and wouldn't be shocked if they did so in blowout fashion. Give me the Longhorns -2!

50* NBA Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Hornets -4.5)

After a miserable stretch, where the Hornets went just 1-7, they have since bounced back with 3 straight wins. All at home and I look for the streak to continue here against the Wizards. Washington has been a different team since December, but are still not a great road team. The Wizards are just 5-14 on the road this season and are facing a Charlotte team that owns a 15-7 record at home. Hornets have really turned up the intensity on the defensive side of the ball, as they are allowing just 95.6 ppg over their last 5. Wizards are giving up 108.4 ppg on the road and 105.1 ppg against division opponents. Give me the Hornets -4.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Clemson -5.5)

This Clemson team is too talented to be riding a 5-game conference losing streak. The Tigers hit rock bottom lat time out, getting crushed by 32-points at Louisville. This is do or die situation for Clemson and I expect them to answer at home. The Tigers are 0-2 at home in ACC play, but have also had to host both UNC and Virginia. They were competitive in both, losing by 3-points to UNC and just 4-points to Virginia. Virginia Tech is a decent team, but not on the same level as those two and we have already seen the Hokies lose by 15 at FSU and 26 at NC State. This game means too much to Clemson and I just don't see the Hokies being able to match that intensity. Give me the Tigers -5.5!

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Blowout (Mavs -5.5)

Dallas has been playing much better here of late and while they have lost their last 2 following a 3-game winning streak, but defeats have been by 5-points or less. Lakers come in off a 108-96 win at home over the Pacers, but it came at a cost, as D'Angelo Russell suffered an MCL injury and is out indefinitely. LA just can't seem to get back to full strength and that injury has to hurt the psyche of this team. Not to mention the Lakers are just 5-18 on the road this season and already lost by 12-points at home to the Mavericks earlier this season. Give me Dallas -5.5!

40* NBA Blockbuster Total Knockout (UNDER 215.5)

I cashed in on the Rockets/Warriors UNDER last night and I think there's value once again with the UNDER as Houston travels to Memphis on no rest and playing their 4th game in 5 nights. Not to mention the emotional letdown of how poorly they played in last night's blowout loss to the Warriors. Houston will still try to get up and down the floor, it just won't be at the same pace and tired legs are a bad thing for a team that loves to take as many 3-pointers as Houston. Memphis got back to playing stingy defense in their last game, holding the Kings to just 91 points. Grizzlies aren't a team that loves to run and will also be playing on no rest. Give me the UNDER 215.5!

40* NBA No Doubt Bookie Blowout (Knicks -5.5)

I think this is a great spot to back the Knicks at home. I know New York hasn't played great of late, but I'm seeing some positive signs that they are getting back to playing at the level we saw earlier this season. The Suns are also a great opponent to get back on track against. Phoenix is just 5-12 in their last 17 and 1-4 over their last 5. Not to mention the Suns are a miserable 6-18 on the road, while New York has a winning record at home at 12-10. Knicks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 off a home loss and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 off a loss by 3 points or less. Give me New York -5.5!

40* NCAAB Vegas Dog of the Day (Minnesota +4)

The Gophers aren't getting near enough respect here at home against the Badgers. Minnesota is just 3-3 in Big Ten Play, but they have a 1-point loss at home to Michigan State and 2-point defeat at Penn State. This is a team that has already won on the road at Purdue and Northwestern, while also beating Ohio State at home by 10. Wisconsin is a great team, but we have seen them lose on the road. In fact, last time they played a true road game, they fell 55-66 at Purdue. I just think this game means a lot more to Minnesota and they are certainly talented enough to win this game outright on their home floor. Give me the Gophers +4!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Total Crusher (OVER 142)

The books have missed the mark on the total for this one. I'm expecting to see a lot of scoring here this afternoon when the Buffaloes take on the Cougars. Both of these teams are capable of putting up a big number offensively, but the real key is how these two struggle on the defensive side of the ball. Colorado is giving up 74.9 ppg on the road. Washington State is allowing 74.0 ppg. Last year the two regular season meetings both were high scoring, including a 169 points in a 88-81 Colorado win on 2/11/16. Give me the OVER 142!

50* NCAAB Pac-12 Game of the Month (UCLA -5.5)

I believe the Bruins are the best team in the country and I got no problem laying this number with them on their home floor against a team like Arizona. While the Wildcats are a top level team, they are not on the same level as UCLA. This is a statement game for the Bruins and while Arizona has won all 3 road games in Pac-12 play, I believe that's helping us keep this number from being closer to 7-8 points. Give me UCLA -5.5!

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Jazz -6)

I'm backing the Jazz as a decently priced road favorite at Dallas. It's no secret that Utah is the much better team. The Jazz are 27-16, while the Mavericks are 14-28. The big key here is the schedule and it should allow Utah to win here by double-digits. Utah will be playing on a full 3-days of rest, while Dallas will be playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set and 3rd in the last 4 days overall. Utah's going to be able to push the pace offensively and Dallas isn't going to have the energy defensively. On top of that, this Jazz defense is the real deal and should have no problem shutting down this limited Dallas offense. Give me Utah -6! 

40* NBA Blockbuster Total Crusher (Under 237.5)

I'm backing the UNDER in tonight's big showdown between the Warriors and Rockets. These two teams played in Golden State back on 12/1 and combined for 159 points with a total of just 232.5. I believe that result has played into this number being even higher. What is getting overlooked, is that was a double-overtime game, where 33 of the points scored came after regulation. The two combined for just 126 in regulation. As good as these two teams are offensively, both can get after it defensively and I expect both to be locked in on that side of the ball tonight. Give me the UNDER 237.5! 

50* Eastern Conference Total of the Month (OVER 204)

I'm backing the OVER tonight when the Bulls and Hawks square off for the second time this season. In the first meeting this season, these two teams combined for 122 points in a 115-107 win for the Hawks at home. I see this one playing out about the same. Chicago's finally back to full strength and when they have had all their pieces, they have been a strong offensive team. We should also see Chicago pushing the pace here, as they come in off a full 2 days of rest. Atlanta didn't shoot well at all in their last game at Detroit, but the Hawks have been rolling offensively of late, scoring 100+ in 8 of their last 11 and 5 straight at home. OVER is 6-1 in Hawks last 7 against at team with a losing record and 6-1-1 in their last 8 off a game where they didn't cover. Give me the OVER 204! 

40* NCAAB Late Night ATS Bailout (Oregon State +5)

I'm backing the Beavers as a home dog against the Cardinal. Oregon State comes in having lost 5 straight, all of which have come in Pac-12 play. I look for the Beavers to come out highly motivated to get their first conference win of the season and I believe Stanford is a great opponent for them to just that. There's a good chance the Cardinal will be without their top scorer and best player in Reid Travis, plus they aren't nearly as good on the road as they are at home (not a very good team in general). This is also a tough spot for Stanford, as they have a much bigger game on deck at Oregon on Saturday. I'll take the points, but I think Oregon State wins here outright. Give me the Beavers +5!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (USC +3)

I'm backing the Trojans as a home dog against the Wildcats. These two teams come in with near identical records, as Arizona is 16-2 and USC is 16-3. I believe the value is clearly with the home team catching points in this one, as the Trojans are simply undervalued right now due to having gone just 2-8 ATS in their last 10. Wildcats are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 after 15 or more games when facing a team that is holding opponents to a 42% or worse shooting percentage and 3-11 ATS in their last 14 after 15+ games against teams who are outscoring their opponents by 4+ points/game. Give me the Trojans +3!

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Heat -2.5)

I'm backing the Heat as a small home favorite against the Mavericks tonight. Miami comes in off a big 109-103 win at home over the Rockets as a 7-point dog, but are still being undervalued here due the fact that they were just 1-10 in their previous 11. Dallas on the other hand is getting some love after going 3-0 both SU and ATS in their last 3 games. The key here is the Mavs aren't a great road team (6-16) and I just don't see them winning back-to-back games on the road after stealing one in Chicago last time out. Give me the Heat -2.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Nebraska -1)

I'm backing the Cornhuskers here at home against the Buckeyes. Nebraska is in a prime bounce back spot after 2 straight losses and I like what I have seen from this team. Ohio State comes in off a big win over the Spartans, but are a mere 1-4 in Big Ten play and 1-5 on the road this season. I look for Nebraska to not only win here, but to do so comfortable. Cornhuskers are 25-11 ATS in their last 36 home games off a loss by 6 or less and 32-16 ATS in their last 48 off a cover where they lost straight up. Give me the Cornhuskers -1!

40* NBA No Doubt Total Crusher (Over 220)

I'm expecting a lot of scoring to take place tonight between the Knicks and Celtics. Boston has been a scoring machine here of late. The Celtics have scored 100+ points in 15 straight games and I see no way that streak coming to an end at home against a Knicks team that is giving up 110.8 ppg on the road. The key here is that Boston has also been allowing a lot of points during this stretch, as they haven't allowed fewer than 98 in their last 14 and are giving up 105.4 ppg in their last 5. New York can score and are putting up 104.4 ppg on the road and come in having scored 100+ in 3 straight. These two last played on Christmas Day and combined for 233 points. Give me the OVER 220!

50* NCAAB ACC Game of the Month (Florida State -5.5)

I'm taking the Seminoles at home against the Fighting Irish at what I feel is a great price. Notre Dame is a good team and have started out 5-0 in ACC play, but have been very fortunate to come away with wins in their 3 road games, beating Pitt 78-77, Miami 67-62 and Virginia Tech 76-71. This will be by far the most challenging road game to date and it certainly doesn't help matters that the Irish are playing their 3rd straight on the road in a span of just 7 days. Florida State is going to come out with a chip on their shoulder after a loss at North Carolina and I look for them to dominate in this one. Give me the Seminoles -5.5!

40* NBA Late Night ATS Knockout (Lakers +1)

I think this is a great spot to jump on the Lakers at home at basically a pick'em against the Nuggets. Denver is getting some love here off a couple of blowout wins over the Pacers (in London) and at home against the Magic. LA on the other hand is getting no love at this time, as they have lost 4 straight, failing to score 100 points in all 4 losses. Getting the offense going against the Nuggets won't be a problem. Denver is giving up 111.2 ppg and don't figure to play with a ton of energy on the defensive side of the ball playing on no rest. Los Angeles is 21-8 ATS in their last 29 home games after 4 or more losses, while the Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in last 5 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 when playing on 0 days of rest. Give me the Lakers +1!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Michigan +10.5)

I like this spot for the Wolverines as a double-digit dog against the Badgers. It's no secret that Wisconsin is one of the top team in the Big Ten and that Michigan has struggled early on in conference play. The Wolverines are coming off a much-needed 91-85 win at home against Nebraska and I expect a huge effort here on the road against the Badgers. Wisconsin on the other hand could struggle here, as they have to be feeling pretty good about themselves off a 23-point win over Ohio State and given Michigan's recent struggles they don't exactly look like a dangerous opponent. An outright win isn't likely, but it's not out of the question. I see this one coming right down to the wire. Give me the Wolverines +10.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Blowout (Baylor -13.5)

I expect Baylor to win big at home here against the Longhorns. The Bears weren't deserving of being ranked No. 1 in the country, but they are an elite team that is extremely difficult to beat at home. Baylor is a perfect 10-0 at home and will be taking on a Texas team that has yet to win on the road (0-6). Making matters even worse for the Longhorns, is the suspension of leading scorer Tevin Mack (14.8 ppg). No one else averages more than 11.6 ppg. Mack is also by far their best 3-point shooter. He was hitting 39% with 34 made 3-pointers. No else on the team has more than 20 made 3-pointers. This is also a tough spot for Texas off a crushing 72-74 home loss to West Virginia last time out. I think this could get ugly in a hurry. Give me Baylor -13.5!  

40* NBA Blockbuster Total Crusher (Over 211.5)

I'm expecting a lot of offensive fireworks tonight, as two of the leagues elite point guards square off in Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook. The Clippers come in clicking offensively and are averaging 108.2 ppg at home on the season. They should be able to eclipse that, as the Thunder are giving up 107.8 ppg on the road and don't figure to have a whole lot of energy in the tank on defense playing in the second game of a back-to-back road set and 3rd road game in the last 4 days. Offensively, as long as Westbrook is playing this team is going to look to push the pace. OKC has scored 103 or more in 6 of their last 7 games and are averaging 106.7 ppg on the season. OVER is 9-1 in the Clippers last 10 off a win by 10 or more. Give me the OVER 211.5!

50* NBA Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Warriors -7.5) 

Golden State has lost 4 straight to the Cavs, the final 3 of the Finals last year and that crushing 1-point loss at Cleveland on Christmas Day, where they blew a 14-point 4th quarter lead. Needless to say this is a statement game for the Warriors at home. I expect them to play with as much intensity as you will see for a regular season game. Cleveland isn't just going to lay down, but this is not an ideal spot for the Cavs, who are still getting use to playing with their new addition of Korver and this is their 6th and final game of a long road trip that started with a game in Brooklyn before playing 5 straight out west. I just don't see Cleveland being able to match the intensity of the Warriors in this one. Give me Golden State -7.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Syracuse +14.5) 

I like the value here with the Orange as a big dog against the Tar Heels on Monday. Syracuse has been playing much better of late and are certainly going to be up for this one. UNC on the other hand could find this one a bit hard to get up for, as they just played a huge game at home against a very good Florida State team and escaped with a 76-53 win. The Tar Heels are just 5-13 ATS in their last 18 off a home win by 10 or more and 0-8 ATS in this spot when that win was against a conference rival. Syracuse on the other hand is 13-4 ATS in their last 17 road games off a blowout win by 20 or more over a conference opponent. Give me the Orange +14.5!

40* NCAAB Vegas Line Mistake (TCU -1)

I've been impressed with what I have seen from this Horned Frogs team and they simply aren't getting the respect they deserve with a 13-3 record. They are 2-2 in Big 12 play with their 2 losses coming in a close game at home vs Kansas and the other on the road at WV, where they lost by just 12 as a 13.5-point dog. Iowa State has won 2 straight and 5 of 6, plus are off a big 10-point win at Oklahoma State. It has the Cyclones way overvalued in this spot. ISU not only has the difficult task of playing their 2nd road game in 4 days, but they have a massive lookahead game on deck, as they are set to host Kansas on Monday. Give me TCU -1!

40* NCAAB Situational Dog of the Day (Texas +10.5)

I think the books have set this line way too high. This is not an easy spot for the Mountaineers, who are coming off that huge win at home over then No. 1 Baylor. This Longhorns team isn't as talented as West Virginia, but homecourt is huge in conference play, especially in the Power 5 conferences. While Texas is just 1-3 in Big 12 play, they have been competitive, losing by just 3 at Kansas State, 9 at Iowa State and 3 at home to TCU. A big key here is the Mountaineers pressure style isn't as good on the road as it is at home. I expect a close game throughout and wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Texas pulled off the upset. Give me the Longhorns +10.5!

40* NCAAB Early Bird Blockbuster ATS Blowout (Pittsburgh -2.5)

I'll gladly take the Panthers as a short home favorite against the Hurricanes. Miami is a young team that doesn't play well on the road. Their only Power 5 win in a true road game or on a neutral site was against a bad Stanford team. They lost by 17 to ISU and 9 to Florida on neutral sites and just recently were annihilated in a 15-points loss at Syracuse. They also just lost a heartbreaker at home to Notre Dame. Pitt also comes in off back-to-back loss, but both of those came on the road. The Panthers are going to be desperate for a win here after a 1-3 start to ACC play and are 9-1 at home, which includes an impressive 12-point win over an elite Virginia team. Give me Pittsburgh -2.5!

50* NCAAB Big East Game of the Month (Providence +2)

I think the books have made a big mistake here with this line. The Friars are 10-1 at home with their only loss coming to one of the best teams in the country in Creighton. They were just a 5.5-point dog to the Bluejays at home and now are only 3.5-points less against Seton Hall. No way are the Pirates just 3.5-points worse than Creighton. In fact, this is a horrible spot for Seton Hall, playing their 2nd road game in just 4 days and off a heartbreaking overtime loss at Marquette. I just don't think the Pirates are nearly as good as this line would suggest and wouldn't be surprised if Providence won this one going away. Give me the Friars +2!

50* NBA Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Over 214.5)

I think we are seeing some value here with this total tonight between the Magic and Blazers. I think this total is a lot lower than it should be given Portland's last two games. The Blazers held the Lakers to 87 points on Tuesday, but that was more of LA just not shooting well (Lakers scored 30 points in the 2nd half after scoring 57 in the 1st half). They then held the Cavs to 86 with Cleveland shooting a mere 34.1% from the field. I believe it's more of bad shooting by their opponents than the Blazers figuring it out defensively, as this is a team that allows 110.3 ppg. I also don't think we get the same effort from Portland against a bad Magic team after the big win over the Cavs. OVER is 7-0 in Blazers last 7 after covering 2 or more consecutive games and 12-4 in their last 16 after a win by 10 or more points. Give me the OVER 214.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Northwestern -6)

While Rutgers has started out 0-4 in Big Ten play, I still think we are seeing this team get some love from the books because of their 11-6 record. On the flip side of this Northwestern is a team that just doesn't get a lot of love, but this is arguably the best team in school history, as I see this squad going to the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats have already won twice on the road by more than this number, taking down Penn State on the road 87-77 and Nebraska 74-66. I'm just not buying this Rutgers team and even if it's close, the Wildcats should pull away. Northwestern is hitting 76.3% from the free throw line, while Rutgers shoots just 64.7% from the charity line. Rutgers also averages 5 made 3-pointers (shooting 29.5%), while Northwestern is 37.1% and averaging 9 made 3-pointers a game. Rutgers is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games with a total of 130 to 139.5 and Northwestern is 6-0 ATS in last 6 as a road favorite of 6 points or less. Give me the Wildcats -6! 

40* NBA No Doubt ATS Blowout (Knicks -3)

It's been a dreadful stretch here for the Knicks, but I like the value we are getting with New York at home in this one. We know the Knicks are going to show up, as Noah and Rose get another crack at their former team. More than anything, the Bulls are going to be without their best player and MVP-candidate Jimmy Butler, as well as one of their top reserves in Nikola Mirotic. I just don't think the line has been adjusted enough for what the Bulls are playing with. New York is 9-0 ATS in their last 9 home games after a division game and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 after a game where they failed to cover the spread. Give me the Knicks -3!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Miami -3.5)

I'll gladly lay this short number on the Hurricanes at home. Miami has yet to lose at home this season (8-0) and have covered each of their last 7 home games as a favorite of 6 points or less. Sitting at 1-1 in ACC play and a tough 3-game road trip on deck, I expect to see a max effort here from the Hurricanes against a ranked opponent. Notre Dame has won 5 straight, but two of those came at home by 7 or less and the lone road game in the ACC was a mere 1-point win at Pitt. Irish are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games after winning 5 or 6 of their last 7 games and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 when riding a 2+ game winning streak. Give me the Hurricanes -3.5! 

40* NBA Blockbuster ATS No Brainer (Magic +11) 

I'll take the double-digits here with Orlando as I see them giving the Clippers some problems here. LA is still without the services of Blake Griffin and Chris Paul is on minutes restriction as he just recently returned from a hamstring injury. Typically bad teams like the Magic don't perform well on the road, but Orlando is actually playing better on the road than they are at home. They are 9-10 on the road, compared to 7-13 at home. Clippers have won and covered 4 straight and the books haven't hesitated to inflate this number, knowing all the public money will be coming in on LA. Clippers are just 6-18 ATS in their last 24 home games as a favorite of 9.5 to 12 points, while Orlando is 23-10 ATS in their last 33 road games against the Western Conference. Give me the Magic +11!

40* NBA Blockbuster Over/Under Total Crusher (OVER 217.5)

With both teams playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set, I don't expect to see a whole lot of effort on the defensive side of the ball. That should have this one going well past the posted number here. Boston comes in averaging 106.8 ppg, while the Wizards are scoring 105.3 ppg. Washington is allowing 107.5 ppg on the road and the Celtics are giving up 109.2 ppg over their last 5. OVER is 21-7 in the Wizards last 28 games when playing on 0 days rest and 4-0 in the Celtics last 4 when paying on 0 days rest. Give me the OVER 217.5! 

40* NCAAB Dog of the Day (Seton Hall +5.5)

I'm backing the Pirates as a decent priced road dog here against what I think is a pretty average Marquette team. Seton Hall recently won at home over Marquette 69-66 and while it was close, it should have been a more lopsided score. I look for them to not only keep this within the number, but win the game outright. Marquette is just 2-12 ATS in their last 14 home games after playing their previous game on the road and just 5-14 ATS in their last 19 home games overall. Seton Hall won 87-56 at DePaul last time out and are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 off a home win by 10 or more points. Take Seton Hall! 

50* NCAAB Big Ten Game of the Month (Michigan State -3.5)

I'll gladly take my chances with the Spartans laying a short number at home against the Golden Gophers. I'm well aware of how good this Minnesota team is, but the Brestlin Center is one of the toughest places for opposing teams to win at, especially when you have a motivated Spartans team coming off an ugly loss. Let's also not forget that Michigan State won at Minnesota to open up Big Ten play and did that without stud freshman Miles Bridges, who has recently returned to the lineup. Bridges hasn't been a big factor in his first two games back, but I think this is where he starts to return to that elite level we saw from him early in non-conference play. Give me Michigan State -3.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (South Carolina -2.5)

I'll gladly back the Gamecocks as a short road favorite against the Volunteers. This South Carolina team is better than people think and let's not forget all 3 losses this season have come with their best player in Sindarius Thornwell, who averages 18.4 ppg, 7.2 rpg and 3.6 apg. This Tennessee team played well in non-conference, but struggled against the top tier teams and have started out just 1-2 in SEC play. They also just lost a big piece to their team in junior guard Detrick Mostella, who was dismissed from the team. Mostella was second on the team at 10.5 ppg and led the Vols in 3-pointers made with 26. Give me the Gamecocks -2.5!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Florida -5.5)

I'll gladly back the Gators here on the road against the Crimson Tide. The Alabama faithful aren't going to be in a good mood after last night's loss to Clemson in the title game and I think we see some of that carry over to the basketball team for this one. At the same time, the Tide are coming in overvalued here after winning 4 straight and starting out 2-0 in SEC play against a couple of mediocre teams. Florida is far from mediocre and I think they are flying way under the radar right now. The Gators only 3 losses on the season are neutral site games against Gonzaga and Duke and a true road game at FSU. They were competitive in all 3, losing by just 5 to both Gonzaga and Florida State. Florida is 3-0 in SEC play with an impressive 9-point win at Arkansas included in the mix. I think this one gets ugly. Give me the Gators -5.5! 

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Arkansas -10)

I see the Razorbacks have no problem covering this double-digit spread at home against the Bulldogs. This Mississippi State team comes in at 10-4, but have played a soft schedule and will be getting their biggest test of the season tonight when the face Arkansas. They come in off a 95-78 win at LSU as a 2-point dog, which I think is keeping this line from being inflated. Prior to that they lost by 10 at home to Alabama, so it's key to not read into the win over LSU. As for the Razorbacks, I'm confident we get a big time effort here off an ugly 26-point loss at Kentucky and Arkansas being just 1-2 in SEC play (lost to two best teams). Give me the Razorbacks -10! 

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Crusher (Nets +8)

I know the Nets haven't been great of late and the Hawks are playing well at the moment, but I believe it's resulted in a ton of value here with the Nets. Brooklyn has shown they aren't a team that's just going to lay down and they have some hidden motivation here. Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson was previously an assistant in Atlanta and will be playing the Hawks for the first time. This game means a little more to him than others and more times than not the players respond in this spot. I don't see the same emotional edge for the Hawks, who could easily take this game lightly after winning 6 straight and a much bigger game on deck Friday night at home against the Celtics. This is also the last game of a 4-game road trip, which they have already secured a winning record on at 3-0. Give me the Nets +8! 

40* NBA No Doubt ATS Blowout (Bulls -1)

I'll gladly back the Bulls at home at basically a pick'em against the Thunder. Chicago has got things turned around since the benching of Rondo and come in having won 3 straight. None more impressive their their 123-118 overtime win over the Raptors, where they overcame a 12-point deficit to start the 4th quarter. OKC gets a lot of love from the books because of all the attention Westbrook is getting and are typically overvalued on the road, where they are just 8-10 SU and 8-10 ATS. This is also not an easy spot for the Thunder, who after playing 3 straight on the road, played one game against the Nuggets before having to return right back to the road to face Chicago. Give me the Bulls -1!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (St. John's +6.5)

I'll gladly fade the Hoyas at home off a heartbreaking overtime loss at home against Butler. Georgetown has started out 0-4 in Big East play for a reason. They aren't a great team. St. John's comes in with a record under .500 but I like the fight in Chris Mullin's squad and see no reason why they can't keep this game close and wouldn't be shocked if they won outright. History suggests it's a great spot to jump on the Red Storm after their performance last time out, which saw them lose 82-97 at Xavier, allowing the Musketeers to shooting 58.6% from the field. St. John's is 35-18 ATS in their last 53 road games off a conference loss by 10 or more and a perfect 12-0 ATS in their last 12 road games after allowing a shooting percentage of 55% or better in their last game. Give me the Red Storm +6.5!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Purdue -3) 

The Boilermakers are worth a look here as a short home favorite against the Badgers. I really like what I have seen from this Purdue team and I like how they matchup with Wisconsin. So much of what the Badgers do is getting after teams on the offensive boards, but that won't be easy against the size and talent of the Boilermakers frontcourt. It's also worth noting that Purdue is 8-2 at home and the Badgers have not had much luck in recent trips to Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers have won 11 of the last 14 at home against Wisconsin and I really like their chances at making that 12 of 15 this afternoon. Give me Purdue -3!

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Bucks -4) 

I'm backing the Bucks at home laying what I think is a short number given how poorly the Wizards have played on the road. Washington is just 3-12 on the highway this season. The Wizards already made one trip to Milwaukee and it didn't go so well, as the Bucks cruised to a 123-96 win. The Bucks had a 3-game win streak snapped in their last game, losing 111-116 in an ugly collapse late. I look for that to have Milwaukee in prime form and this is a team that looks to be playing with a chip on their shoulder as it is. Bucks are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 home games after failing to cover 2 or more in a row and 32-18 ATS in their last 40 at home off a SU loss. Give me Milwaukee -4!

40* NBA Bookie Dominator (Pacers -7)

It's taken a lot longer than expected, but Indiana is finally starting to play like the team that everyone thought we would see out of the gates. The talent is definitely there for this Pacers team to go on a big run and with a mere 19-18 record, there's a lot of work left to do to. Indiana comes in having won and covered in 4 straight games and are in a great scheduling spot playing their 4th home game in their last 5 games. Not the same case for the Knicks. While New York snapped a 6-game losing streak with a 116-111 win at Milwaukee last night, they don't figure to have a whole lot left in the tank. Not only are they playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back road set, but this is their 3rd game in 4 days. It's also worth noting last night's game took a little extra out of them, as they had to rally from a 18-point deficit. That was also a rare road win, as the Knicks are just 6-12 away from home. Give me the Pacers -7!

40* NCAAB Situational ATS No Brainer (Indiana -11)

I have no problem laying this big number on the Hoosiers at home in what I believe Indiana is going to treat as a must-win. The Hoosiers have started out 0-2 in Big Ten play and also have a lost to Louisville sandwiched around their two conference defeats. This is one of the elite teams in the country and they know if they want to win the Big Ten, this is a game they have to have. I like their chances of laying it on Illinois, who has played just 1 true road game and it was ugly, losing 59-84 to a pretty average Maryland team. We also saw the Illini lose by double-digits in a neutral site game against FSU and get rolled by 32 points in another neutral site game by West Virginia. Give me Indiana -11!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster Bookie Blowout (LSU -3)

These two teams come in with identical 9-4 records and I think has created some great value here with the Tigers as a small home favorite. LSU is kind of a forgotten team now that Ben Simmons isn't there. Having lost their conference opener at home to Vanderbilt, I look for the Tigers to be extra motivated to defend their home court here against a pretty average Mississippi State team. That loss to the Commodores was the Tigers first home defeat of the season. As for the Bulldogs, they haven't played a true road game yet this season and also played the much easier schedule of the two. Going this deep into the season and having not played in an opponent's gym is a tall task to overcome. Give me LSU -3!

40* NCAAB Blockbuster ATS Knockout (Creighton -4)

I see a complete mismatch here in favor of the Bluejays. Creighton is an elite team and every bit deserving of being ranked No. 10 in the country. What this team is doing offensively is hard to ignore. The Bluejays are shooting 53.5% from the field and 42.2% from 3-point range on the season. Which is really impressive considering they are 15 games in. They aren't just feasting on bad opponents. They shot 50% against Wisconsin, 60.6% against NC State, 56.3% against Wash St, 50.8% against Nebraska, 56.6% against Seton Hall and 49.2% against Villanova. Providence is not a great defensive team and have really struggled to stop the better teams they have faced. Virginia shot 59.5% against them, Xavier shot 60.4% and Butler shot 61.9%. I don't think this one is going to be close. Give me Creighton -4!

40* NBA Situational Dog of the Day (Knicks +5.5)

New York comes into this one having lost 6 straight games and last time fell 104-105 at home to the Bucks. Now these same two teams play in Milwaukee and I think we are getting exceptional value given the situation. New York is simply going to want this game more. Not only to get revenge from a crushing loss on a last second shot, but to put an end to their losing streak and get back to playing well. Win or lose, I think the Knicks keep this close and cover the spread. Give me New York +5.5!

50* NBA Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Wizards -4.5)

I think we are catching a great number on Washington at home against a Timberwolves team that just keeps getting a lot of love from the books, despite the fact that they are now 11-24 overall and just 14-21 ATS. The Wizards come in off back-to-back losses, but both of those came on the road. One was at Houston, who is an elite team and the other was at Dallas on no rest. Now they return home where they have won 8 straight. Washington is a team on the rise (won 9 of 12) and I just don't trust the Wolves, who are a mere 5-12 on the road. Give me the Wizards -4.5!

40* NCAAB Rhode Island/Dayton ESPN2 Bookie Knockout (Dayton -2)

I'll gladly back the Flyers at home at basically a pick'em. Dayton comes into this one off an impressive 90-74 road win at St Bonaventure as a 2-point dog and have now won 4 straight and 9 of their last 10. The only loss being a 3-point defeat on a neutral court to a talented Northwestern team. They did so without leading scorer Charles Cooke. He's questionable to play, but even if he doesn't I still like the Flyers here. Senior forward Kendall Pollard is finally back to 100% and has responded in the last 2 games with 20 against LaSalle and 21 against the Bonnies. Rhode Island is a quality team, but have lost all 3 of their true road games against legit competition, falling to Valpo, Providence and Houston. The only true road win being against St Louis as a 15-point favorite. Dayton has a great home court edge and are 7-1 at home on the season. Give me the Flyers -2!

40* NCAAB Situational ATS No Brainer (USC -7)

The Trojans had their perfect 14-0 start to the season come to an end with a 61-84 loss at Oregon. Losing by double-digits doesn't look great, but the Ducks are an elite team and one that can win it all. I still really like the USC team and I expect a big effort here in what will be their conference home opener. On the flip side of this, Stanford is not a team that I think can hang with the Trojans. Last time out the Cardinal got annihilated 52-91 at home to Arizona. That came after an ugly 93-98 loss at home to a bad Arizona State team. Stanford has also lost by 15 to Kansas, 15 to St Mary's 14 to Miami and 23 to SMU. Give me USC -7!

40* NCAAB Late Night ATS Knockout (Utah +10.5)

This Utah team isn't getting the respect they deserve right now, as this team just recently added arguably their two best players in transfers David Collette and Sedrick Barefield. Each has played 5 games and are already doing damage. Collette is averaging 15.4 ppg and Barefield is at 14.2 ppg. That gives Utah 6 players who average double-figures. Keep in mind this is a team that played a couple of really good teams in Butler (59-68) and Xavier (69-77) tough without either of these two. Arizona has plenty of talent, but this is simply too many points, as I think these are two very evenly matched teams. Give me Utah +10.5!

40* NBA Blockbuster Total Crusher (UNDER 204.5)

I think we are seeing some great value here on the UNDER, which I feel is a bit high after the Mavs combined for 118 points in their last game against the Wizards at home. The Mavs are a team that likes to play at a much slower pace than the average (29th on the season) and rely on their defense. Phoenix is a team that is perceived as one that likes to run up and down the floor, focusing on offense and playing little defense. That was the case to start the year, but they come in having scored fewer than 100 points in 5 straight games and are have allowed 100 or less in 3 of their last 4. With the Suns playing for the 3rd time in 4 nights on the road, I don't see them changing it up and pushing the pace. Give me the UNDER 204.5! 

40* NBA No Doubt Total Annihilator (UNDER 200)

I think we are going to see a low-scoring game here as we have two teams that can play solid defense and both in a spot where they don't figure to be pushing the pace. Utah is one of the better defensive teams in the league, giving up just 95.1 ppg and will have a little extra focus on that side of the ball after giving up 115 at Boston last time out. Utah has allowed 100+ in back-to-back games just two times since the start of December. This will also be the Jazz's 3rd road game in 4 nights, so they will be looking to slow down the pace. Toronto also doesn't figure to have a ton of energy on the offensive side of the ball, as they figure to come out flat after a 6-game road trip. These two played in Utah back on 12/23 and the Raptors won 104-98, which sets up a great spot to back the UNDER, which is 8-1 in Utah's last 9 when revenging a home loss. Give me the UNDER! 

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Purdue -3)

I think we are getting some great value here with Purdue laying a short number on the road against the Buckeyes. This is a prime bounce back spot for the Boilermakers, who are going to be pissed off after losing at home to Minnesota. This is an elite Purdue team that will be there at the end competing for the Big Ten title. I don't think the same way about the Buckeyes, who I feel has benefited from an easy schedule on their way to a 10-4 start. This is also a bad matcup for Ohio State, who doesn't have the size inside or the outside shooting to attack this Purdue defense. I wouldn't be shocked if the Boilermakers won this one going away. Give me Purdue -3! 

40* NBA Blockbuster ATS Knockout (Kings -8)

I look for Sacramento to have zero problem knocking off the Heat at home by double-digits tonight. While both teams are playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set, the Kings have the big edge here at home. Plus, Miami is decimated with injuries right now and could be missing a number of key rotation players. The biggest being center Hassan Whiteside, who is doubtful. Without Whiteside to patrol the paint, the Kings should get a lot of easy looks and it should lead to a field day for DeMarcus Cousins, as Miami has no one else who can matchup with him. Give me the Kings -8!

40* NCAAB Vegas Dog of the Day (NC State +1.5)

I think this is a great spot to jump on NC State at home, as we are seeing a big overreaction here based on the results of the last games for both teams. Virginia Tech upset Duke at home 89-75 as a 4.5-point dog, while the Wolfpack lost 63-81 at Miami as a 8.5-point dog. I believe it has NC State primed for a bounce back performance, while the Hokies are poised for a letdown. The Wolfpack are 9-0 at home this season and simply shouldn't be a dog in this one. Give me NC State +1.5!

50* NCAAB SEC Game of the Month (Georgia -1.5)

This is a great price to back the Bulldogs at home against the Gamecocks. Georgia went on the road and won 96-84 at Auburn to open up conference play and I look for them to carry over that momentum into this one, as they look to improve on their 6-1 home record. South Carolina got their first real test in a true road game last time out and it didn't go well, losing 54-70 at Memphis. The Gamecocks haven't had much success when traveling to Georgia, as the Bulldogs have won 14 of the last 19 at home in the series. Georgia is also 60-38 ATS in their last 98 home games as a favorite of 6 or less, while South Carolina is 15-30 ATS in last 45 on the road with a line of +3 to -3. Give me the Bulldogs!

40* NBA Blockbuster Total Knockout (UNDER 200.5)

I think the total here is way too high for this matchup. Dallas ranks dead last in the league in pace, as they don't have the offensive weapons to keep pace with most teams, so they look to rely on their defense to keep them in games. Key here is that the Wizards are playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set and all 5 starters logged at least 33 minutes last night. Not only is Dallas going to try and keep Washington from getting out in transition, the tired legs of the Wizards will keep them from pushing the pace here. It's also worth noting the UNDER is 9-5 in the Mavs home games this season, as they are scoring just 95.7 ppg and allowing 97.9 ppg at home. UNDER is also 7-2 in Dallas' last 9 home games against a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games (Wizards 3-11 on the road). Give me the UNDER 200.5!

40* NCAAB Situational ATS No Brainer (Ole Miss +13.5)

I think we are seeing a big overreaction here due to the Rebels getting absolutely destroyed in a 76-99 home loss to Kentucky. The Wildcats are going to do that to a lot of SEC teams this year. I see this as a big bounce back spot for Ole Miss against a Florida team that they can certainly hang with. Rebels are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a loss by 20 or more and 10-2 ATS in their last 12 road games after playing the previous game as a home dog. Give me Ole Miss +13.5!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Boston College +15)

This will be the Eagles first true road game of the season, but they have played 3 quality opponents on a neutral floor. The important thing with BC is how they are playing right now. The Eagles followed up an impressive 79-67 win at home over Providence as a 10-point dog with a 96-81 blowout win at home against Syracuse as a 10.5-point dog. The books clearly haven't made the proper adjustments and BC catches Wake coming off back-to-back losses, where they didn't shoot the ball well. I don't think another outright win as a double-digit dog is going to happen, but I do think the Eagles keep it a lot closer than expected. Give me Boston College +15!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Miami -6)

The Hurricanes come in having won 6 straight, but are 0-7 ATS over their last 8 games, which I believe is going to have people looking to back NC State. The Wolfpack have also won 6 straight, but have covered their last 4 lined games. The thing is, NC State has played an easy schedule to this point. Their two toughest games were a neutral site contest against Creighton and road game at Illinois. They lost by 18 to the Bluejays and 14 to the Fighting Illini. I look for them to struggle to keep it close against a Hurricanes team that is a perfect 7-0 on their home floor in 2016. Give me Miami -6!

40* NCAAB Oddsmakers Error (Pittsburgh +1)

I really like the value here with the Panthers as a home dog. Both these teams enter at 11-2, but Notre Dame is the only one that is ranked and thus they are getting a little more respect than they deserve in what will be an extremely difficult road matchup. I've watched this Pittsburgh team on multiple occasions and have really been impressed with what I have seen, which includes a 73-59 road win over a talented Maryland squad. The Panthers are a perfect 8-0 at home and the are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games off a game where they won but didn't cover. At the same time, Notre Dame is just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games after 2 or more wins. Give me Pittsburgh +1!

50* NCAAB GAME OF THE MONTH (Memphis +1)

This is a great spot to jump on the Tigers at home. Memphis is coming off a tough 54-58 home loss to a very talented SMU team as a 2.5-point dog and that's certainly playing into this line being so low. The Tigers have won and covered following each of their previous 3 losses and I look for them to make it 4 straight after tonight. I'm not as big on this South Carolina team as others and this will be their first real test in a true road game. Their only other true road game was at USF, but they are 10.5-point favorite. Give me the Tigers +1!

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Crusher (Pelicans -2)

New Orleans comes in having won 3 straight and 4 of their last 5, but are still way undervalued by the books because of their 13-21 record overall. The key here is that the Pelicans have just recently got healthy and finally have some legit weapons to pair alongside Anthony Davis on a nightly basis. On the flip side of this, the Knicks are getting a lot of love, but they are just 5-10 on the road and have been struggling of late, going just 2-5 in their last 7. Give me the Pelicans -2!

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Celtics +7)

This Boston team is more than capable of keeping it closer than the spread against the Cavs tonight. The Celtics are finally healthy and playing like the elite team that most expected to see right out of the gate. Boston is 6-1 both SU and ATS in their last 7 games. They also have revenge on their mind from a 6-point loss at Cleveland back in November. This game simply means a lot more to the Celtics than it does the Cavs. It's also worth noting that Cleveland hasn't been shooting the ball great of late, hitting under 39% from the field in each of their last 2 games. Give me Boston +7!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Auburn -1.5)

I really like this Auburn team. They are young and talented. While they have started out 10-2, I still think they are flying under the radar from last year's 11-20 campaign. They have a head coach in Bruce Pearl who knows how to win and it shouldn't come as a surprise that this team has improved as much as it has. They still aren't ready to compete with the top teams in the SEC, but can hang with anyone at home and Georgia is far from elite. Auburn has also been sensational at home, going 6-0 and outscoring opponents by 18.3 ppg. Give me the Tigers -1.5!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (UCLA -1.5)

The Bruins are the real deal, as they come into this one at 13-0. While Oregon is a very talented team and a respectable 11-2 overall, I just don't think the Ducks match up well with the talent of UCLA. Keep in mind this is a Bruins team that went on the road and beat Kentucky in a true road game earlier this month. Give me UCLA -1.5!

40* NBA No Doubt ATS Blowout (Pistons -3)

The Pistons are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Bucks. Detroit was able to snap their 5-game losing streak with a 106-90 win at home over the Cavs last time out. While Cleveland was without James, it was still a big win for the Pistons and getting things turned around. The thing is Detroit is still being undervalued because of their recent poor play. The Pistons are playing much better at home and the Bucks are just 4-8 on the road. Pistons have won 4 of the last 5 meetings at home against Milwaukee and are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 home games when they have lost 4 of their last 5. Give me Detroit -3!

40* NBA Situational Dog of the Day (Heat +3.5)

I see this as a really tough spot for OKC to come out and play well. Westbrook and the Thunder really came out with a ton of energy in their 112-100 win at home over the Timberwolves on Christmas Day. Now they have to make the long trip to Miami and face a Heat team that has gone just 3-9 in their last 12. However, Miami has covered their last 2 and 6 of 8 overall. They have the guard play to give Westbrook some problems and Whiteside down low to protect the rim. These two played in OKC earlier this season and the Heat held the Thunder to just 97 points with Westbrook scoring only 14 on 5 of 16 shooting. Miami is well-rested, having not played since last Friday. Give me the Heat +3.5!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Rutgers +19.5)

You don't have to look long at the Scarlet Knight's schedule to know this team isn't as good as their 11-2 start, but clearly this is a better team than a year ago. Last year Rutgers was a mere 6-7 when they opened up Big Ten play against Indiana.

I look at the Scarlet Knight's most recent game as a big indicator of how much improved this team is. Rutgers just lost 61-72 at Seton Hall, but it was closer than that, as the game was tied with 6 minutes to play. The Scarlet Knight's also played Seton Hall in non-conference play last year, expect they lost 55-84 at home. To go from losing by 29 at home to being in the game with a chance to win late on the road is hard to ignore.

Rutgers really gets after it defensively and are a decent rebounding team, averaging 43.9 rpg, including 12 offensive rpg. Last year the Scarlet Knights went just 1-17 in Big Ten play, yet only lost by 22 on the road to Wisconsin and were only a 16.5-point dog. I think Rutgers can hang around and keep this withing 20-points, which is a massive number to be laying in conference play. Give me the Scarlet Knights +19.5!

40* NBA Dog of the Day (Suns +13)

I'll gladly back the Suns here at this price. These two teams just played last Wednesday in Phoenix, which the Rockets were able to win 125-111 covering easily as a 6-point favorite. That was a much closer game than the final score would indicate, as Houston only led by 6 at the half and 7 going into the 4th. They won by 14 shooting a ridiculous 18-38 (47.4%) from 3-point range. The Suns showed they can have success offensively and with the Rockets likely not hitting at the same consistency from long-distance, Phoenix should be able to keep this one much closer than the books are suggesting. Give me the Suns +13!

40* NBA Blockbuster Total Knockout (UNDER 211)

I'm going to to the UNDER in tonight's matchup between the Wolves/Thunder. We are getting some great value here with this big total, as the books don't adjust these totals as much as they should for these Christmas games. It's a big honor to be a part of one of these games and players lay it all on the line knowing everyone is watching. We get a max defensive effort from both sides. UNDER is also 6-2-1 in OKC's last 9 against a team with a losing record and 4-1 in the Timberwolves last 5 against a team with a winning record. Give me the UNDER! 

40* NBA Situational Total Knockout (UNDER 206.5)

I'll gladly take the UNDER at this price with the Kings and Wolves tonight. Both teams are playing well at the moment and that should have both coming out with a lot of energy defensively in this one. Over recent years the Kings have been a high-scoring team that doesn't play a lot of defense, but that's starting to change. Sacramento has only topped 100-points once in their last 5 games and that was at home against an awful Portland defense. They have held 4 of their last 6 under 100 points. Minnesota is starting to figure things out under Thibodeau and just went into Atlanta and held the Hawks to 84 points. Neither of these teams like to play at a fast pace (both rank in bottom 10). Give me the UNDER 206.5!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Boston College +9.5)

I really like this spot for Boston College at home as a near double-digit dog. The Eagles haven't been great and come in having lost 3 of their last 5, but we can bank on a huge effort here on their home floor against the Friars. Providence comes in at 10-2 and are riding a 6-game winning streak. The thing is that the Friars aren't the same caliber a team as they were a year ago, yet are getting treated like it here with this line. Providence's 6-game winning streak have all come at home. This will be their first true road game since visiting Ohio State back on 11/17. With Christmas around the corner and a huge showdown at Xavier looming next week in their conference opener, I think the Friars come out flat here and could lose this one outright. Give me Boston College +9.5!

40* NCAAB Situational ATS Blowout (Ole Miss -12)

The Rebels are a team that I think is flying under the radar right now and should have no problem cashing in a win here against South Alabama by 15+ points. The Jaguars are just 2-5 since starting out 5-0 and haven't really played anybody. In fact, this is only the 3rd time all season they have been listed as a dog and the first time by more than double-digits. That's speaks volumes to their schedule, as this a team that's picked to finish in the bottom 5 of the Sun Belt. Last time out they beat Spring Hill by 21 and that sets them up for an instant fade, as they are 0-7 ATS off a win by 20+ under head coach Matthew Graves. Ole Miss is 6-1 at home and this will be their final tune up before hosting Kentucky next Thursday to open SEC play. Give me the Rebels -12!

40* NBA Blockbuster Bookie Knockout (Knicks -5)

I'll gladly back the Knicks at home laying a short number here against a below-average Magic team, who is getting too much respect here after covering 4 of their last 5. New York is 10-4 at home this season with the 4 losses coming against the Rockets, Jazz, Thunder and Cavs. All teams who are currently 5 or more games over .500. I also don't the Knicks are getting enough respect here, as they have really been playing well after a slow start. New York is 12-7 in their last 19 after a miserable 3-6 start. Keep in mind that 4 of their 7 losses during their recent surge have come with Rose either out or playing 10 minutes or less. He returned to the lineup last time out against the Pacers and was sharp with 24 points and 6 assists. Give me the Knicks -5!

50* NBA Vegas Sharp Money Top Play (Jazz -7)

This is a prime bounce back spot for Utah, who was embarrassed at Golden State last night 74-104. The only positive from that performance was the Jazz were able to save some minutes on their starters, as the game was well in hand by the 4th quarter. Only Gobert played more than 30 minutes and he logged just 31 minutes. The key here is that Sacramento is also playing on no rest, but off a much different game. The Kings used up a ton of energy rallying from a double-digit halftime deficit to stun the Blazers at home 126-121. That game was clearly played at a frantic pace and I just don't see Sacramento having enough left in the tank to keep this game close. Keep in mind Utah had won 11 of 13 prior to last night's loss and are 10-5 at home, while the Kings are just 5-11 on the road. Give me the Jazz -7!

40* NCAAB Vegas Line Mistake (Arkansas State +6.5)

I really like the value we are getting here with the Red Wolves, who come in at 9-2 and have shown the ability to win on the road, going 5-2 away from home, which includes a 78-72 win at Georgetown. Alabama is still in rebuilding mode under head coach Avery Johnson and aren't expected to be a serious threat in the SEC until at least next season. They are just 5-5 on the season and don't have a single player averaging double-figures. I think Arkansas State can hang around and wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the won this game outright. Give me the Red Wolves +6.5!

40* NBA Blockbuster ATS Knockout (Bulls -4)

I think the Wizards are getting way too much respect in this one. Washington has covered 4 straight and are 5-2 in their last 7, but that run almost exclusively came on their home floor. The Wizards are miserable 2-9 on the road and it's simply not being reflected in this line. Chicago hasn't been playing great of late, but were as sharp as they have been all season in their last game, knocking off Detroit 113-82. I look for that to carry over here and for the Bulls to win this one going away. Give me Chicago -4!

50* NCAAB Vegas Sharp Money Game of the Month (Iowa -11)

Iowa comes in at 6-5, which I feel has them still undervalued, despite the fact that they just routed in-state rivals Iowa State and UNI. They crushed the Cyclones at home 78-64 and embarrassed the Panthers on a neutral court 69-46. This is a young Iowa team that lost a lot of talent from last year, so it wasn't all that surprising to see them struggle early with a really tough schedule that included games against Seton Hall, Virginia, Memphis and Notre Dame. The young guys are starting to figure it out and they are getting exceptional play from senior Peter Jok, who ranks 5th in the country in scoring at 23.5 ppg. Iowa still has a lot to prove and should have no problem covering what I feel is a small spread given the mismatch in talent. Give me the Hawkeyes -11!
