BYU (6-5) knocked off a ranked opponent on the road earlier this season and is more than capable of turning the trick again as they have the added incentive of needing to  notch back-to-back wins to get bowl eligible. I know Utah is a top tier team, but when these programs have met in the past records  and stats go out the window, as 17 out of the last 20 games in the Holy War have been decided by seven points or less.BYU is  also 21-3-1 ATS as a road dog with revenge, including 14-1 ATS against opposition with at least one loss on the season like Utah. With No. 17 ranked Utah looking ahead to next weeks PAC 12 championship game, expect the unexpected. Take the points. 

BYU is 6-0 ATS in road games in weeks 10 through 13 over the last 3 seasons.

The Washington Wizards in their current form may not inspire bettors but the tonight in desperation mode Im betting they get it together  on home court vs a New Orleans team that struggles on the road (2-8 SU), and could be playing with Anthony Davis tonight because of a hip injury. If Davis does play he will be less than 100% making the Pelicans fade material. Their are alot of ebbs and flows in the NBA , and Washington is showing some proverbial high tide action entering this game after a come from behind win vs the LA Clippers last time out. 

NEW ORLEANS is 0-7 ATS off a road loss this season which happened against the lowly Knicks last time out.

 The Governor's Cup matchup at Louisville's Cardinal Stadium between the Cardinal and Wildcats is best summef up by the following quotes: 

"In a rivalry game you can throw the records out the window," Stoops said. "We're worried about ourselves and playing the best football we can and just finishing.

"I think anytime you play a rival, the guys on the other side are going to play harder," said Louisville interim coach Lorenzo Ward, whose Cardinals (2-9) haven't won since a 20-17 decision over Western Kentucky back on Sept. 15. "It's about pride, so you can throw the records out. Regardless of how a season's gone, it's still the same as if we were undefeated."

When this season started the pundits expected Washington to be  one of the best teams in the nation. They are still a fine team, but have subsequently lost their lustre with losses to Utah, California, and Oregon. ( The 3 losses came by 4, 3, 2 points respectively and the games could have gone either way)  But now with redemption at hand this senior group of Huskies can upset the Apple cart with a win vs a Washington State (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12)  football program playing for its first conference title in 16 years and its first trip to the College Football Playoff. A win in this tilt will also propel Washington into the PAC 12 championship game where they will have a revenge scenario vs Utah to take care of.

Miami enters this game in Chicago with the league's third-worst shooting percentage at 43.5, only ahead of Boston and Detroit.  the Miami Heat are really struggling and should not be favorites in their current form on the road against any NBA team , not even the rebuilding Chicago Bulls.The most recent instance of Miami's horrendous play occurred Tuesday in a 104-92 loss to the Brooklyn Nets that pushed its home losing streak to five games. The Heat shot 36 percent and missed 15 of 19 shots in the fourth quarter when the Nets outscored them by a 30-15 margin. Thats just plain ugly, and the return of veteran senior citizen Dwayne Wade Im betting wont be enough to buoy this team to victory and more importantly a cover.

Ive got a stubborn streak when it comes to sticking to my long term handicapping methods, and with that said, Im going to back Houston team that I have pegged as the superior team in this matchup with Detroit. Last time out I recommended we lay the heavy lumber with the Rockets at home in the first of back to back meetings with these teams, and I failed on my assessments that night, as the Pistons played the Rockets tough in Texas and covered as 9 point underdogs losing by just 2 points 126-124 .  My power rankings however, suggest that the Rockets are a viable bet here at -4 chalk, and Im laying down my cash on them again. I live and die by my methods, and lose or win today will continue down the same path, even though some turbulence may effect the smoothness of my trip. You have too remember that the young men form Motown were trailing by 10 points going into the 4th quarter of the last game, and than amazingly scored 41 points to to put pressure of the Rockets. Im betting that unbelievable shooting performance wont be on todays agenda and that Houston gets the win and cover as they play a complete game. 

HOUSTON is 22-9 ATS  off a home no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite over the last 3 seasons and is 21-8 ATS in road games off a home win over the last 3 season.

Louisville is third in the nation in free throws made and attempted, and is 30th in the nation in free throw percentage. This Im betting will be a difference maker here in this spot.

Metcalf, who all could be first-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft to go all out here in what will their final college football games of their careers. Last years game was physical and closely contested with the Rebs coming away with a 31-28 win, after blowing a big lead. With that said, I look for another war here and for the points to end up being golden. 

The Rebs are 7-3 SU  and 6-3-1 ATS in the last 10 home Egg Bowls

Bulldogs are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Underdog has cashed 5 of the L/6 meetings. MISSISSIPPI ST is 0-6 ATS  after having won 3 out of their last 4 games over the last 2 seasons Miss State has failed to cover 3 of their 4 road games this season.

CFB team (OLE MISS) - after 5 or more consecutive losses against the spread against opponent after 1 or more consecutive wins against the spread are 39-11 ATS L/5 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors.

Golden State suffering the loss of super star Steph Curry to injury are looking to snap their 3 game losing streak after losing to the San Antonio Spurs, 104 - 92 last time out and will come out here primed to compete and rebound vs Oklahoma City tonight on their own home court. The Thunder are also off a loss, and  are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.With reports out of Oakland supporting the return of Draymond Green, and the impending battle of former team mates Durant and Westbrook I like the Golden State Warriors to grab a victory here vs a Thunder team exhibiting some key  areas of weakness as they struggle with  three point percentage ( Ranked 30th), free throw percentage ( Ranking 27th) and assists per game (Ranked 26th).Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games.Thunder are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings.Thunder are 3-10 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Golden State.

MAUI INVITATIONAL - Final Rnd - Lahaina Civic Center - Maui, HI

First-year coach Travis Steele rebuilt his team on the fly this season with a trio of graduate transfers, including Castlin, who joined the Musketeers after averaging 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists last season at Columbia. but don't be fooled their better than advertised as their was already a pipeline of fine talent left behind by former HC Mack. I know they have lost 3 straight after winning their first two, but today vs a team with little  momentum left from nearly upsetting No. 3 Gonzaga in the first round as was evident by getting slapped around by Iowa State their last time out.  

XAVIER is 9-1 ATS  versus poor foul drawing teams - attempting 18 free throws/game over the last 3 seasons. ILLINOIS is 1-9 ATS  in road games when playing only their 3rd game in a week over the last 3 seasons

Memphis is a very pesky team that plays a strong physical brand of basketball and are  leading the NBA in scoring defense (100 ppg) and turnover differential (-4.6) while ranking second in steals (9.8),   Their quickly becoming the type of team, that other sides around the league don't look forward to facing. The Grizzlies have won 4 straight games, and could induce a  night mare for a Spurs team that is struggling defensively as was evident last time out when they allowed  the Pelicans to shoot 57.8 percent from the floor in a 140-126 loss. Add to that the Grizzlies star Conely after being injured last year, is rounding back into super star gear, and hitting 38.7 percent from 3-point range this month . This team feeds off Conely's energy and  with Grizzlies C Marc Gasol suddenly back in top form hitting on  three straight double-doubles while averaging 17.7 points and 10.4 rebounds this month the Grizzlies are a dangerous underdog here tonight.

Meanwhile, Minnesota had a three game win streak ended last time out by a pesky Memphis team. but the Wolves are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games where they play their best hoops.Wolves have a 7-2  SU home record this season, while the Nuggets are 3-4 SU on the road. In their four most recent meetings last season the Timberwolves beat the  Nuggets 3 out of 4 times winning both games at home by an average of 4.5 points and another similar outcome is a high probability outcome considering the current form of both sides and matchup discrepancies favoring the Wolves especially from the land of the downtown trey where the Wolves excel (37.3%).

The Matadors lost a emotional roll coaster at home last Saturday. After leading by as many as 18 points in the second half, the Matadors were unable to hold off Portland down after the stretch as the Pilots came out with a hard fought  80-77 victory at The Matadome. Now in a emotional letdown spot Im betting Tennessee State takes advantage of this hosts low energy levels  and get us a victory and a winning ticket.

Tonight we have a tilt at Madison Square Garden, that has mismatch written all over it and the lines-makers have followed suit by making the Portland Trail Blazers 8 point road chalk,   vs their hosts the  New York Knicks this Tuesday. However from a contrarian perspective, Im betting taking points with the home dog is prudent bankroll expanding choice vs a Portland team on tired legs as they play their 4th road game in less than a week. I know its not easy backing a rebuilding /struggling team like the Knicks that continue to give younger players minutes, but from a advantage players viewpoint, this line is slightly bloated and offers value according to my power rankings numbers.

Now they will go against a very hungry and rested Miami team , desperate to get a win, after getting hammered by the LA Lakers on Sunday night  ( 113-97) for their fourth straight home loss. The media is attacking the team for their lack of grit, and believe me say pros do not like to be embarrassed and will be hell bent on getting some redemption tonight.

Arizona 3-0 is undergoing a massive roster overhaul and is unranked in the AP preseason poll for the first time since 2010-11, but underestimating their talent levels is not something I care to do, as this class is still chalk loaded full of top tier players.UA  admittedly does have a  lack of depth up front, but  has a great deal of versatility and  are quicker defensively via a smaller sized group. Iowa State also 3-0 should also be better this season , but are currently short handed  playing without four potential rotation players, including preseason all-Big 12 guard Lindell Wigginton,  . Forward Solomon Young,  and forwards Cameron Lard and Zoran Talley Jr. who are out for an unspecified violation of team rules.

According to my power rankings and head to head systems analysis, the Rams matchup very well against the KC Chiefs and in a game that Im betting will see a lot of TDs, laying a FG is not asking to much and is actually a viable wagering option.

The Hawks are struggling  (3-13)  as they enter this game on a  seven-game losing streak on Monday when they start a four-game home stand against the Los Angeles Clippers (10-5) at State Farm Arena. . Thanks to their ineptness and inability to garner wins  of late, we are getting an exaggerated line to bet into with the home dog Hawks. I know the Clippers are playing well and we have a matchup of  teams playing at the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum, but desperation and being back on their own home court  after a 4 game road trip against strong teams ( Indiana, Golden State, Denver, Lakers) makes the Hawks battle tested and  a viable wagering option as they play in desperation mode.

The Bears are leading in the division, just ahead of the Vikings , which means this game is for first place. This  tilt  should feature play off intensity which will favour the more experienced big game team, which is the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears have had a fine season thus far, but this matchup is a step up in class. When the chips are down , Ill back the smash mouth Vikings getting points. Yes, da Bears  looked good last week, against the downtrodden Lions but in the past CHICAGO has been a bad bet in the followup going  0-8 ATS after gaining 6.5 or more yards/play in their previous game. I personally believe everyone is getting a little bit ahead of themselves with backing Chicago as possible top tier team going forward ,and tonight I expect that when the final whistle blows that some pundits time to pause and rethink their positions. Hey folks Im not knocking the Bears, and  in the not so distant future, might actually ending up being as good as the headlines might indicate , However,  Im just saying there is value taking the under rated Vikings in this spot as dogs.  Note: Vikes HC Mike Zimmer is  13-1-1 ATS versus opponents coming off a double-digit win.

However, despite of that my matchup rankings data base suggest even with the injuries, the well conditioned and deep Warriors are capable of pulling off a win here as a road  underdog vs a San Antonio side that has lost their L/3 trips to the hardwood and 5 of their L/6 overall. It must also be noted that NBA Road teams with a money line of +135 to -155 (GOLDEN STATE) - extremely tired team - playing their 5th game in 7 days, in November games are a positive long term betting situation as they are 54-20 SU L/22 seasons.

New Orleans is  nightmare for defensive co-orridnators to deal with, but Philadelphia coaching staff, are extremely capable as they have proven in the recent past .    The Saints despite of all the accolades they are getting are weak favs here and have been in the past when irrational exuberance has been prevalent as is evident by their  0-8 ATS L/8 record as a favorite of at least eight points . New Orleans recent top tier performances including last weeks domination against Cincinnati, 51-14 has everyone and his dog, singing the praises of Drew Bree's and company.  Last week the Saints accumulated a ungodly 509 of offense in their victory but in the past the Saints have been a bad bet in the followup going just  0-7 ATS L/7 coming off a game as a road favorite where they had at least 400 yards of total offense  . The Saints also dominated time of possession  (39:46) but once again have failed in their followup going 0-7 ATS  L/7 coming off a game as a road chalk when they had at least 32 minutes time of possession. Also it must be noted that Defending Super Bowl Champions like the Eagles  are 13-1 ATS as road dogs versus .825 + opposition  including 7-0 SUATS since 2000.

PHILADELPHIA is 8-0 ATS  versus good rushing defenses - allowing 90 roles rushing yards/game over the last 3 seasons.PHILADELPHIA is 6-0 ATS  vs. good passing teams averaging 7 or more passing yards/att. over the last 2 seasons

 NFL Road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (PHILADELPHIA) - good passing team - with a completion pct of 60% or better, after gaining 6.75 or more passing yards/attempt in 4 straight games are 25-7 ATS L/10 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

 Carolina got embarrassed last Thursday in a 52-21 loss at Pittsburgh and will be primed for bounce back win here vs slumping Lions  team that is on a current 3-game SUATS losing streak. Believe me when I say pros do not like to be embarrassed, especially the Panthers..With that said, Im betting on Carolina a side that is 12-1 SU and 13-0 ATS in road games when coming off a double-digit loss and taking on a sub .500 opponent to be ready to deliver themselves redemption in. a big way here today. The Panthers are also bankroll fattening 8-1 ATS in tilts after giving up 40 or more points .

HC Rivera is 22-3 ATS off a road loss as the coach of CAROLINA.

Detroit is an nasty 0-12 ATS as a underdog on artificial turf when they are off a road loss by more than a TD and they are facing a team that has committed an average of less than 1.5 turnovers per game season-to-date. DETROIT is 2-15 ATS L/17 against teams who commit 1 or less turnovers/game in the second half of the season.

Last week, the Tennessee Titans ended their seven-game losing streak against Tom Brady with a surprising and  convincing 34-10 victory over the New England Patriots. On Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the Titans will not be so lucky this week ( pardon the pun) vs another top tier  quarterback when they face the Colts. The Titans are 0-9 all time against Andrew Luck who was key in a win vs the Jags last week. 

TENNESSEE is 1-9 ATS in all games where the total is greater than or equal to 49.5 and is  1-9 ATS in road games after gaining 6 or more yards/play in their previous game over the last 3 seasons. 

NFL teams where the line is +3 to -3 (TENNESSEE) - after going under the total by 42 or more points total in their last five games, with a winning record on the season are 9-33 ATS L/10 seasons for a go against 79% conversion rate for bettors.

The Jaguars in a must win situation today have really struggled of late, but they actually matchup well vs the Pittsburgh Steelers.The Steelers have won five consecutive games while the Jaguars have lost five in a row.I know both teams are operating at the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum, but the Jags desperation and the type of football Im confident the Jags can play when cornered will challenge the Steelers this Sunday. I expect the Jaguars  No. 2 overall defense and No. 1 ranked  pass D  to be the difference maker in what will be a hard fought game. 

 Steelers are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

NFL team (JACKSONVILLE) - a poor offensive team (14-18 PPG) against a poor defensive team (23-27 PPG), after a playing a game where 50 total points or more were scored are 30-8 ATS L/10 seasons  for a 79% conversion rate for bettors.

The Demon Deacons needed a late 10-0 run to slip past Fullerton 66-59 last time out, but Im betting they wont be so lucky here vsValparaiso. Im betting it will be Vals D, that is the difference maker here. In their last game they suffocated Monmouth  allowing them 54 points, and holding them to 39.6 percent shooting from the field and 4-of-18 shooting from 3-point range .

Last season  the Washington State Cougars were upset  in Tucson  against the Arizona Wildcats  as road chalk  by a 58-37count and now revenge is at hand for the Cougars at home here in Pullman this week.   I know Khalil Tate is a star QB, and gives Arizona a chance when he is healthy , but this is not a good situation for the Wildcats as they will have problems on the defensive side of the ball dealing with the Cougars deadly aerial attack and a overall 10-0 mark in the ITS battles. 

 ***Cougars quarterback Gardner Minshew II, the nation's leader in passing yards per game (385.2), and a Washington State attack that leads the nation in passing yards per game (392.3). The Wildcats rank 10th in the conference in total defense (417 yards per game) and ninth in pass defense (248.7 yards per game).

The Mavericks are playing top tier basketball at the moment as is evident by  on their  three-game winning streak  and overall  have won four of five trips to the hardwood. Thanks in part to a strong effort on  defense. Against  Utah  the Mavs held the Jazz to 31.3 percent field goal shooting after keeping Chicago and Oklahoma City under 40 percent in the previous two tilts. Tonight against a banged up Golden State team that looks out of sync of late and  playing without Steph Curry, I feel the Mavs have an advantage here as underdogs . on their own home floor. 

DALLAS is 35-18 ATS  when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons. DALLAS is 28-15 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last 2 seasons. DALLAS is 18-8 ATS  when playing only their 2nd game in 5 days over the last 2 seasons.

The well rested Charlotte Hornets will be very ready to take down a  Philadelphia 76ers  off a gruelling game against the Utah Jazz last night. The Sixers have played well at home this season , but are just 2-7 on the road, and are fade material in this spot vs a side that was embarrassed by Cleveland last time out . But now on 3 days rest Charlotte will be out looking for redemption and also for revenge for a 133-132 OT  loss last week on the road to the Sixers. That game  showed me that the Hornets matchup well against their opponents as did a 105-103 loss in their first meeting here in Charlotte. 

 CHARLOTTE is 13-0 ATS  versus bad pressure defensive teams - forcing 12 or less turnovers/game over the last 3 seasons.

Georgia Southern is in the precarious position of coming into this road game in an emotional letdown situation after facing Troy last week at home and losing, which puts an end to their Sun Belt East conquest. It must be noted that Coastal Carolina Chanticleers do not make alot of mistakes , which is not a good omen for a Georgia Southern side, that has a 21 turnover margin this season. Georgia S. has failed to cover 6 straight vs teams like Coastal that have one or less turnovers a game on average. The Chanticleers have two games left and they need to grab a win to be bowl eligible, which makes them motivated home dogs. 

CFB Favorites of -175 to -400 vs. the money line (GA SOUTHERN) - opportunistic team (2.5+ TO/game forced) against a team with 1.25 or less TO/game forced after 8+ games, in conference games are 9-22 SU L/26 seasons for a 71% go against conversion rate for bettors.

Senior citizen Hall of Fame coach of the year HC Bill Snyder in his final campaign  before retiring has had a down year, but still must not be discounted at home as the   Red Raiders come knocking. With Texas Techs Freshman  star QB Alan Bowman out with a collapsed lung injury Texas Tech will go with backup QB Jett Duffey who despite of looking good against Texas last time out, is still not ready for whats coming here in this nasty road  environment where the home team needs wins desperately to go Bowling this season and help their long time coach go out with hands raised. It must be noted that Snyder is 32-3 SU at home against opponents off consecutive losses like the Techsters are, including 11-0 ATS vs.400 or better opposition.

 Northwestern clinched the Big Ten West crown last week by  taking out the Iowa Hawkeyes and Im betting they won't be as motivated here this week in what should be a natural letdown situation. . Meanwhile, Minnesota  upset and pounded the Purdue Boilers, 41-10, as a 10.5-point home dog.   The  Gophers still need one win in their last two games to go bowling and will  go all out here to beat Northwestern  , because the following week sees them go to Wisconsin.  I know Northwestern somehow clinched the West this season, but they are far from being a top tier side, as is evident by an offence that is  ranked No. 112 in the nation and that has been out yarded by an average of 23 YPG. Add to that Minnesota has also had this game circled  and have revenge on board for a nasty 39-0 loss in Evanston last season and you have a viable wagering opportunity backing the home dog Gophers\. 

MINNESOTA is 10-1 ATS off a upset win as a double digit underdog. 

CFB  road team vs. the money line (NORTHWESTERN) - off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of 6 or more points against opponent off a blowout win by 21 points or more over a conference rival are 3-33 L/26 seasons for a 92% go against conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Both these teams need wins to be Bowl eligible which will make for a hard fought game. TCU rushing attack was down right bad last week vs West Virginia, but  should do much better here vs a Baylor side  that  is a league worst against the rush allowing 183.8 yards a game on the ground. TCU has  the best third-down defense in the league, limiting opponents to a 33.1 percent conversion rate in those situations (47-for-142).Baylor, strength offesnively has been meanwhile,   third downs by converting 45.5 percent (66-for-145) , but in a close game TCU D, looks set to be the difference maker.

Boise  State is coming off a huge win vs Fresno State at home last week by a 24-17 count, and should now be in an emotional letdown spot coming into this game against New Mexico. I know the Lobos don't inspire bettors, after a disappointing season and 5 straight losses, but according to my own projections this point spread and taking points with the home dog has value attached to it. Look for the backfield of Tyrone Owens, Zahneer Shuler, and Ahmari Davis, and Daevon Vigilant  to churn out yards and get us the cover. 

Note :the last time the Lobos played a team at home of Boise States calibre they hung with San Diego State losing by just one TD, so its not like they cannot be competitive, because they have proven they can.  Head coach Bob Davie’s tenure  is due to end. but Im betting he will have his troops primed to pull off an upset here in what will be their version of a bowl game. 

HC Harsin is 2-10 ATS vs. poor passing defenses - allowing 8 or more passing yards/att. as the coach of BOISE ST  NEW MEXICO is 11-2 ATS in home games off 3 straight losses against conference rivals and the football program is 40-20 ATS L/60 vs. good offensive teams - scoring 31 or more points/game.Davie is 18-8 ATS when the total is between 56.5 and 63 as the coach of NEW MEXICO.
