I am going to start off by saying I am not a big DeMarcus Cousins fan. It is not that the Pelicans new acquisition Cousins isn't extremely talented, but that he has problems with harnessing his ego and the so called proverbial  demons that haunt him. He has proven my theory in spades during his tumultuous  NBA career . But now despite of that I expect he will for at least tonight Cousins come out on fire with his new  teammate NBA  all star Anthony Davis and leave everything on the floor for what I expect will be a Pelicans cover .  Note: New Orleans also have a revenge on board for a 122-100 beat down at Houston earlier this season, which is favorable from a trends perspective that shows, as the Pelicans are 10-0-1 ATS in 11 previous same season revenge scenarios for a 20 point loss or more vs an opponent with a .666 win % or better like the Rockets.

Houston is 1-7 ATS L/8 as road chalk in this series.NEW ORLEANS is 23-9 ATS L/32 in home games versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game.

Cousins is expected to play tonight.

The Ducks (24-4, 13-2 Pac-12) are on course for their second straight regular-season Pac-12 title, while the Bears (18-8, 9-5) need a signature win to ensure their inclusion in the NCAA tournament. The Bears are 14-2 SU at home this season, losing only to Virginia by four points and to Arizona by five, but are playing much better since those losses and are currently in top form, despite of a loss to Stanford last time out, as they probably got caught looking ahead to this tilt. The Bears rank first in the Pac-12 in both scoring defense, yielding 62.7 points per game, and field-goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot 39.0 percent and I am betting their D, will be the key to a cover here and or possible SU upset. With the Bears playing with revenge for their worst loss of the season, 86-63 back on Jan 19th Im betting we get a very motivated effort from a Bears side that is 20-4 SU at home with conference revenge.

Ducks are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings.

Providence will be primed and motivated as they look to get a head of the bubble as we head towards the NCAA tournament.

"It's obviously a big game for Providence as they try to get themselves on the right side of the bubble for the NCAA tournament," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said. He knows the hurricane that awaits him and is prepared to batten down the proverbial hatches here.Even so it wont be easy for Creighton to  navigate easily past this storm. With that said, it will not be a difficult decision for me to take the motivated and talented underdog in this spot that is 9-1 ATS L/10 as single digit dogs and are 7-1 ATS with revenge for a earlier loss to a opponent by DDs, which happened, on Jan 7th at home (  78-64).

END QUOTE: I couldn't agree more with the future hall of famers words, and will be backing him and his team on home court tonight against a up and down Indiana Pacers that  followed up a seven-game win streak with a four-game losing streak.CLEVELAND is 20-8 ATS L/28 versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 103+ points/game - 2nd half of the season dating back to last season.

Ball State has lost three straight games, and after looking at some key stats and matchup situations feel they are again a disadvantage vs a N.Illionos team that matches up well vs their style of play.

N ILLINOIS is 13-4 ATS L/17 when the line is +3 to -3. BALL ST is 5-18 ATS L/23 when the line is +3 to -3 .N ILLINOIS is 12-4 ATS L/16 in home games when playing against a team with a winning record.CBB Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 like Ball State - off a home loss by 3 points or less, a good team (60% to 80%) playing a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) are a bankroll depleting 13-41 ATS for their betting backers that goes back 21 seasons.

The Toronto Raptors are struggling and last time out, against Detroit blew a big DD lead going in the the fourth quarter before losing in OT by a 102-101 count. Now downtrodden and lacking confidence they  travel to Chicago, where they favored by 7 points on the opening line. QUOTE: "I'm starting to get worried, yeah,"  Toronto stay Lowry told reporters, according to the Globe and Mail. "It's not going the way we're supposed to be going and things aren't changing. So yeah, I'm starting to get worried."Meanwhile, despite of Chicago's recent ugly outings,  and possibly playing short handed , I like their chances at making Toronto work hard for a win, and for the Bulls to possibly spring the out right upset as they matchup well in  head to head scenarios. It must be noted that the Raptors lost 123-118 at Chicago back on Jan 7th and are just  6-18 ATS L/24 revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a favorite . 

CHICAGO is 21-10 ATS L/31 versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game .  Chicago is 9-0 SUA/ATS L/9 meetings and 5-0 SU/ATS L/5 at home.

Minnesota enters this game off a beatdown of the Chicago Bulls last time out by DDs(117-89) But today against a Cleveland side that  dominated Minnesota the last time these teams met back on  Feb 1 winning by a 125-97 count the Wolves look like fade material. According to my own numbers the defending league champs once again look like solid bets laying 5 points or less in the rematch. 

MINNESOTA is 0-9 ATS L/9 after a blowout win by 15 points or more over the last couple of seasons losing SU by an average of 8.9 ppg. 

 This from a league wide ATS data base: NBA Underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points like the Wolves - revenging a road blowout loss vs opponent of 20 points or more against opponent off a home win by 10 points or more are 13-39 ATS dating back 5 seasons

Clemson has just played three straight tough games, against Florida State, Duke and Syracuse, with the  the last two losses, coming by 1 point and two point deficits. Because of  playing top tier competition they will be well prepared to take on a good but average ACC side in Wake Forest.  Meanwhile, Wake Forest after a big win vs NC State lat time out, will be in a letdown situation. WAKE FOREST is also just 7-16 ATS L/23 after 1 or more consecutive wins and is 0-7 ATS L/7 after allowing 25 points or less in the first half last game, which happened in a 88-58 win vs NCSt.

Two of the Big 12’s to 15 nationally ranked teams meet Tuesday night as No. 13 West Virginia  travels to play No. 3 Kansas . With Frank Mason still not 100% with a illness,  the Jayhawks are at a disadvantage . Mason is among those in the running for national player of the year award.Mason will attempt to play tonight  after logging a season-low 26 minutes before fouling out of an 80-79 win at Texas Tech. The Big 12 scoring leader looked lethargic, and not resting him before this big tilt may have been a mistake. No matter what the situation is Im not sold on Kansas being a top 5 team, and under rated West Virginia is more than capable of getting us the cover here tonight.  KANSAS is 8-15 ATS L23 in all games this season.KANSAS is 6-14 ATS L/20 as a favorite this season.

CBB Road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points like West Virginia - in a game involving 2 up-tempo teams (60 shots/game or more), after 2 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 37% or less are 27-6 ATS dating back 5 seasons.

The Pistons come to town off a high energy come from behind victory last night. They rallied from a 16-point deficit to force overtime and took a 102-101 decision Sunday at Toronto, and will now be in an emotional letdown state and on tired legs as they play back to back games. Despite of the Bucks , not playing at the same level as the Pistons, I like their chances at underdogs vs a side that could easily be playing on an empty tank. 

NBA teams like the Bucks - cold team - failing to cover the spread in 12 or more of the last 15 against opponent after having covered 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread are a long term bankroll expanding 72-36 ATS for a 68% conversion rate for their betting backers. DETROIT is 12-23 ATS L/35 after covering 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread.

South Alabama enters this game having won 3 of their L/4 and have covered 4 straight games, and are currently playing at a very high level. Meanwhile, LA Lafayette is at the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum , having lost 4 straight and have failed to cover 5 of the L/6  and 9 of their L/12. South Alabama  is 4-1 ATS L/5 ATS in this series and 2-0 ATS in their L/2 as visitors in this series and are my choice again. 

 S ALABAMA is 9-1 ATS L/10 versus good offensive teams - scoring 77+ points/game , LA-LAFAYETTE is 1-7 ATS L/8 versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game .LA-LAFAYETTE is 0-6 ATS L/6 in home games against conference opponents this season.

 Two teams the visiting San Antonio Spurs and their hosts the Indiana Pacers are both coming off losses and  will now meet this Monday night. The Pacers  have lost three straight games after winning seven in a row.Meanwhile, the Spurs  suffered a surprising 94-90 loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday afternoon in Madison Square Garden. The Spurs looked disinterested and lethargic and key catalyst LaMarcus Aldridge continued a recent funk. The Spurs after playing at such a high level for so long, may have now hit a wall, and the all star break could not come at a better time. 

The Pacers have compiled a 20-8 home record this season at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and defeated the Spurs here last season, and once again in my humble opinion look like solid underdog picks.

INDIANA is 19-8 ATS L/27 after having lost 3 of their last 4 games over the last 2 seasons.SAN ANTONIO is 19-31 ATS L/50 versus up-tempo teams averaging 83 or more shots/game - 2nd half of the season dating back to last  season.

The New Orleans Pelicans and the Sacramento Kings are two inconsistent teams. The Pelicans in part depend to much on Anthony Davis , while the Kings seem to do better  when their temperamental  super star DeMarcus Cousins is on the sidelines. When the Kings star has been in the lineup he has not looked cohesive with his teammates of late. QUOTE: "I'm fighting my demons right now," Cousins said after his last  game, before later adding, "I don't know how to be myself anymore. It's something I'm going to have to figure out." END QUOTE. Cousins is talented, but he's an emotional wreck and wreaks havoc on his teams flow , more often than not. He is expected to be in the lineup tonight. Yes, I know the Kings have won two straight (both at home), but from a matchup, standpoint some teams matchup well against certain opponents, according to my own data, and the Pelicans matchup very well against the Kings from a systems and player to player standpoint. HC Joerger of the Kings  is 7-20 ATS  off 2 or more consecutive home wins in all games SACRAMENTO is 0-9 ATS L/9 after scoring 105 points or more 4 straight games .  .

The Toronto Raptors have looked exhausted of late , but I am betting a 3 day layoff and  their  return home can get them headed in the right direction again, beginning with a matchup against the visiting Detroit Pistons this Sunday. Note: Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

Meanwhile, the Pistons despite of playing some good hoops of late,  they are off a hard fought loss to San Antonio last time out, and will be in a let down state vs a well rested and  hungry team. DETROIT is 3-11 ATS  in road games after a non-conference game this season.

Toronto entered Saturday tied for fourth in the NBA in foul shooting (80.6 percent) and Detroit was 27th (73.6) .It must be noted that when laying points with a team in this league,  these types  of inequalities can be a key to cashing a ticket. Also TORONTO is 22-11 ATS (+9.9 Units) versus poor foul drawing teams - attempting 24 or less free throws/game this season.

Pistons are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Pistons are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 vs. Eastern Conference.

Northern Iowa is a hard team to play against , and according to my own data, Missouri State their hosts today  do matchup well against   slow down defensive orientated teams teams like  N.Iowa.

N.

N IOWA is 14-2 ATS L/16 versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game after 15+ games dating back to last season and s 16-4 ATS in road games versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game  using the same game perimeters.

The top two teams in the AAC go head to head as SMU hosts Cincinnati. Im betting the difference makers comes today via home court advantage and the fact that the Bearcats have a propensity to struggle from beyond the arc when on the road  - where UC shoots just 30.4% from 3 as visitors. Against a top tier offensive rebounding team like the Mustangs this will be a huge advantage. (5th nationally in Offensive Rebound Pct. (39.3%). SMU lost a 66-64 heartbreaker after a huge comeback at Cincinnati earlier this season, and looked like the better team as the game progressed and now payback is in order.

The Bulls in their last tilt got back the services of Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade  but still lost 115-97 at Phoenix, which has the second-worst record in the NBA. That was embarrassing, for the Bulls, and pros do not like to be embarrassed ,especially all star future hall of famers like Dwayne Wade. QUOTE: "Awful, awful ... they out-competed us in every category," Chicago coach Fred Hoiberg said. "Rebounding, loose balls, 19-6 in transition. That tells you all you need to know. END QUOTE: With that said, I expect the veteran core of the Bulls to stand up today, and take advantage of another very inconsistent team the Minnesota Timberwolves that is now playing without the services of key cog Zach LaVine, who will miss the rest of the season and looked  bad without. in a lopsided loss to New Orleans last time out. There is also payback on the agenda for the Bulls as the Wolves upset them 103-110 at home earlier this season.

 NBA Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Bulls - off 2 or more consecutive road losses, well rested team - playing 6 or less games in 14 days are a bankroll expanding 63-22 for their betting backers dating back 21 seasons.

Oklahoma City took on the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers in their last trip to the hardwood, and upset them as underdogs which has them entering this tilt against mighty Golden State  riding a four-game win streak. I know most of us view the Dubs , as virtually invincible, because of their SU record, but the truth is they are  barely a .500 team ATS this season, because in part because of the premium lines placed on their games by bookmakers. Tonight , with Durant visiting his old diggs, and the home team motivated to get revenge for ugly losses in the two first meetings ( both at Oakland) Im expecting a much better effort from Westbrook and company in front of their own fans in what promises to be an emotionally charged affair. I must also be noted that the Warriors played last night, in a hard fought game at Memphis, and will now be on tired legs. With that said, I'm taking the points with the motivated and fresher hosts. GOLDEN STATE is 3-12 ATS L/15 in road games on Saturday games.OKLAHOMA CITY is 17-8 ATS  in home games this season and  8-1 ATS  in home games revenging a loss vs opponent this season and a longer term 25-9 L/34 ATS with revenge.

Needless to say this game will be hotly contested in my opinion. Both teams short hardcore defenses, and Im expecting a physical affair. ST MARYS-CA is 15-6 ATS L/21 versus good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 42%  or less.

The Hornets may not always inspire alot of nba pundits, but they are a tight crew, that play hard together. With one of the NBAs best players healthy and  in their lineup ( Anthony Davis)  the Pelicans can be a menace, especially against a deficient defensive team like the Wolves that have allowed 100 or more points in 12 straight games. It must be noted that Davis had a rare down game last time out, potting just 12 points, and will be very ready for a huge bounce back performance in this spot.From a player to player matchup standpoint, the Pelicans actally matchup well vs the Wolves, and I'm betting they make life difficult for their hosts tonight and get us the cover.

Miami is the league's hottest team and takes a 12-game winning streak into Friday's visit with the Nets In Brooklyn.The Heat are averaging 109.4 points, shooting 49.4 percent and making 42.8 percent of its 3-pointers during the streak. Now going against the lowly Brooklyn Nets,  some pundits might expect the Heat , to over look their opponents. I however, am betting this will not be the case tonight. A little over two weeks ago, the Miami Heat visited the Brooklyn Nets and had to stage a ferocious comeback to net a 109-106 victory, and than in the rematch took a 104-96 victory in South Florida.  So tonight I expect the Heat to be even more focused. Meanwhile, Brooklyn is off an exhausting matchup vs the Washington Wizards last time out losing a heart breaker in OT. Now in an emotional letdown scenario and on tired legs, I expect the visitors will take advantage of them, in what could easily be a lopsided victory. It must be noted that  the Nets have lost 11 straight, allowing 109.8 points/per game while average margin of defeat is 9.2 ppg.

MIAMI is 11-0 ATS L/11 versus poor defensive teams - allowing 99+ points/game - 2nd half of the season this season and 11-0 ATS  versus good offensive teams - scoring 99+ points/game - 2nd half of the season this season with the average margin of victory coming by 11.2 ppg.

The Boston Celtics are a team with alot of chemistry. Add to that they consistently play hard and  find ways to win , even  when they have had a multitude of walking wounded. The Celtics  have won 7 of their L/8 games overall, and just had a 7 game win streak end , against Sacramento last time out. as they began a 4 game road trip. The Celtics looked a little fatigued as they adjusted to a west coast time zone last night, but will be better prepared to play tonight.  Meanwhile, Portland is coming off a last second win against Dallas last time out, 114-113, but that was after blowing  a substantial lead, something that has haunted them consistently this season. I expect the Blazers will be in an emotional letdown situation here after that energy filled victory. 

Considering the Celtics have revenge on board for a 127-123 loss at home to the Blazers back on  Jan 21, I expect a motivated pay back effort must be expected by the men from Beantown.

Tonight at home I expect a bounce back effort an  win of closer to 12 points so laying this number makes for a viable wager. Middle Tennessee State is 6-0 ATS/SU L/6 in this series. OLD DOMINION is 0-7 ATS L/7 after having won 3 of their last 4 games this season and s 3-12 ATS  after failing to cover 4 of their last 5 against the spread , which has just happened.

Fairfield has been playing some very good hoops of late winning 3 of their L/4 with their loss coming by 2 points. Meanwhile, Marist has lost 5 straight, including a 10 point road loss to Fairfield on Jan 28th.  Marist according to my matchup stats and systems matchup analysis does not do well against teams like the Stags.  MARIST has been competitive in their L/2 games, but are just   0-6 ATS L/6 after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games. HC Johnson of Fairfield   is 6-0 ATS L/6 in road games versus lower tier pressure defensive teams - forcing 12 or less turnovers/game after 15+ games in his career and 8-1 ATS  in road games versus poor defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 45% or worse under the same time line and game perimeters.

UC Irvine enters this home game against Santa Barbara a little embarrassed and ready to get some respect back for themselves after losing their L/2 road games as favorites. It must be noted that this long term trend College Hoops trend shows me that CBB Home favorites of 10 to 19.5 points like UC Irvine - off 2 or more consecutive losses as a favorite, with a winning percentage of between 45-55% on the season are a bankroll expanding 30-5 ATS L/35 for a 86% conversion rate for their backers. 

UC-SANTA BARBARA has lost 5 straight games, and is now without another key starter Gabe Vincent (knee injury) and overall have performed badly going 2-8 ATS  versus good ball handling teams like UC Irvine - committing 14 or less  turnovers/game this season losing SU by an average of just under 17 ppg.

My own line suggests a number closer -16. so a blowout is a high probability event.

These two basketball programs have recently been playing some very competitive affairs against each other with the three most recent meetings being decided by 4 , 5 and 6 points. I expect another hotly contested battle here today, with my own numbers suggesting  Cal Davis should only be 4 to 4.5 point favorites, making this a value underdog selection.

I did not like what I saw from the NY Knicks last time out, in a lopsided loss to the visiting LA Lakers, a team that had lost 13 straight road games. With NYK HC Jeff Hornacek frustrated and his teams negative body language while on the court , I'm going against them here. I don't know whats going on in the dressing room, but I personally think all the talk of the Melo Anthony trade, and the teams overall lack of character in key situations has finally taken its toll  over the entire teams mind set. Its a old cliche, in sports, but I'll say it again. This Knicks team has chemistry issues and management and ownership know it. I know their opponents tonight the LA Clippers are also struggling, but they are still a strong side, that will find this game much easier than the last 4 they have lost ( two vs Golden State , Boston, and Toronto). With that said, Clippers get the nod.

NEW YORK is 14-27 ATS L/41 as a home underdog of 6 points or less and 3-14 ATS after trailing their last two games by 10 or more points at the half, which happened in the the first two games of their current home stand.Knicks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. Western Conference.Clippers are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in New York.

S.Illinois  enters this tilt against N.Iowa having won three straight games and are currently in top form. N. Iowa has won 6 of of their L/7 and are also playing top tier basketball, but it must be noted that 

N IOWA is just 4-11 ATS  when playing against a team with a winning record this season. These teams played a closely contested game back on  Jan 21 , with N Iowa pulling out a 58-57 win and now with revenge on board, I expect S.Illinois will be prepared to return the favor and at the very least make this another hard fought affair with the points Im betting proving to be golden

College Hoops Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points like Northern Iowa - a slow-down team averaging 53 or less shots/game on the season, and are lower tier rebounding team - outrebounded by opponents by 4+ per game are just 27-60 ATS L/87 dating back 5 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 69% for bettors.

Atlanta after a ugly effort against Utah last time out, losing by DDs,will be ready to bounce back here vs a improving Denver team.Its interesting to note the Atlanta Hawks have won 15 of their past 21 games, but they've alternated good and bad performances since starting the stretch with seven straight victories. I'm not saying that because they were out played last time out that they will systematically play better here, but I do believe they have enough good coaching and quality player personnel to right their ship quickly. Yes,  this young Denver side  has played some very good ball of late, and won their last game at home despite of having three key players out, but now I expect the injury of their top scorer Gallinari to be issue here on the road, where their defense has been atrocious as is evident by allowing 110.7 ppg this season. The Hawks won 109-108 in Denver on Nov. 23 and have beaten the Nuggets at home each of the last four seasons and are 15-3 SU L/18 meetings overall. 

ATLANTA is 27-13 ATS L/40 in home games versus teams who average 53 or more rebounds/game on the season winning SU by 9.2 ppg. Hawks are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss and are 18-5 ATS in their last 23 games following a double-digit loss at home.

In one of the best games in recent NBA history the Wizards fell short in a 140-135 overtime thriller to Cleveland, and will now be in an emotional let down state vs a lowly Brooklyn team I'm sure they are over looking. The last time Washington visited the  Brooklyn Nets ,   they  trailed by 16 in the first half in an eventual come from behind 118-113 victory Dec. 5, and another similar affair may not be out of the question. I know backing Brooklyn under any circumstances can be a death defying feat, but in my usual contrarian fashion, Im recommending we just close our eyes, plug our noses and some how find the guts to pull the trigger and  back the Nets here in a advantageous situation vs a side that I expect will lack the energy needed to cover the spread. (Wizards are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.)

Oklahoma State prepares to host a key game at  Stillwater, Okla., this  Wednesday night against Baylor . The Boyz are currently riding high on a  five-game winning streak and must not be disrespected against a side that no longer looks invincible losing  their  last two contests, to KState and Kansas.  In Oklahoma State's first meeting with the  Baylor Bears, this season the Cowboys won the rebounding battle 35-30 while grabbing 19 offensive rebounds. Despite of that they still lost 61-57 on a poor shooting night that included nine missed free throws. Now with the Cowboys rebounding and D, getting even more solid contributions from a hard working crew  the Cowboys are quickly  turning their season around after losing their first six Big 12 games . Oklahoma States rebounding and defense is now ranked  (fourth in the Big 12 with 8.3 steals per game). Im betting on this being a key to them getting the victory and cover in this spot. 

Oklahoma State is 15-4 L/19 meetings at home in this series. OK St HC Underwood is a perfect 8-0 ATS off a win against a conference rival in his career which happened last time out vs West Virginia.  OKLAHOMA ST is 32-14 ATS in a home game where the total is 140 to 149.5.

Iowa State defeated Texas  back on Jan 7th 79-70 as home favorites of 9.5 points and failed to cover. It must be noted that this TEXAS basketball program is 9-1 ATS L/10 revenging a road loss vs opponent dating back to last season. Texas in 5 conference home games this season are 3-2, with the losses coming by 3 points and 2 points, and Im betting they won;t bow out easily in this game with revenge on board and have a strong chance at an outright SU win.

IOWA ST is 5-15 ATS  as a road favorite of 3 points or less or pick, while TEXAS is 13-4 ATS  as a home underdog of 3 points or less or pick.TEXAS is 15-4 ATS L/19 in home games versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season after 15+ games and  is 12-3 ATS  versus good defensive teams like Iowa State - allowing shooting pct defense of 42% or less after 15+ games.

The Dallas Mavericks are off a sleepy performance last night in the Mile High City. Lack of oxygen or just a down game, are to blame for getting beat by DDs by the Nuggets. Dallas had a four-game winning streak end abruptly, but had won nine of its last 13 and are still looking more and more like a possible play off team. Now after being embarrassed I expect they come home and put forth a focused bounce back effort vs a inconsistent Portland side  currently on a two game losing run.Dallas has won two of the three meetings with the Blazers this season and ar my choice again.

DALLAS is 21-8 ATS  vs. good free throw shooting teams like Portland - making 76% or more  of their attempts this season.Stotts is 7-21 ATS L/28  after a game being outrebounded by opponent by 15 or more.

Vanderbilt has been very competitive in recent SEC play win or lose, and are not to be underestimated as was the case on the road vs Florida and Texas A&M this season winning as underdogs SU  both times. Arkansas took a close 71-70 battle when these teams played on Jn 24, and Im betting on another hard fought battle in this spot, with the points proving golden. CBB Home teams as a favorite or pick like Arkansas - in a game involving two excellent FT shooting teams (73% or better) after 15+ games, in a game involving two average rebounding teams (+/-3 reb/game) are a bankroll depleting 19-52 ATS for their betting backers for a go against conversion rate of 73%.

No. 3 Kansas is fresh off a 92-89 overtime defeat at the hands of Iowa State, a defeat that ended a 54-game home winning streak. Watching Kansas this season, Im not sold on them being the elite team that the pundits make them out to be. Don;t get me wrong their solid and top 15 , but not a top 5 program at the moment according to my own power rankings. With that said, now going against a Kansas State side, that almost upended them as road dogs this season, 90-88 , KState looks like a solid underrated underdog to me . The Cats have victories over No. 7-ranked West Virginia and the second-ranked Bears, and Kansas is at risk to losing to them in this spot. KANSAS is 2-8 ATS against conference opponents this season.

The Lakers have lost 13 straight road games and have not procured a victory on the road since taking down the Philadelphia 76ers 100-89 on Dec. 16. They have allowed at least 100 points in 12 of those games and rank 27th, giving up 110.3 points a night. Meanwhile, despite of Knicks also struggling, I feel they have the advantage tonight, vs the Lakers side that is 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Knicks last time out lost to the Cavaliers 111-104 as dogs, but are are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS loss and are 10-1 ATS  after playing a game as a home underdog this season.

New England has been head and shoulders the best team in the NFL this season, and must be respected here as short favorites in the Super Bowl against a upstart opponent the Atlanta Falcons. Of course the media, will play this up as being an evenly matched game. But I'm not sold on this scenario even though the linesmakers are making a FG game. Based on mathematics and stats, its hard to argue with the line, but every so often, more intangible facts must be focused on when handicapping a game of the this magnitude. Fact No.1 New England's QB Tom Brady is a proven future Hall of Fame long term winner, and previous Super Bowl Champion who knows how to win big games. Fact No.2 Bill Beilchick is arguably one of the NFL's greatest tacticians and coaches, and make the best of teams look ordinary. With Falcons HC Quinn's defense ranking 27th in the NFL in points allowed and starts four rookies, some open sided disadvantages are apparent in this Super Bowl. And yes, I know Falcons QB Matt Ryan is a stud QB, but he has proven inconsistent in his career and is far from bullet proof as a pocket passer, and was was heavily pressured in losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in the regular season. With that said, taking the Patriots for me is no brainer, and win or lose I feel confident this is the right side to be on this Sunday for Super Bowl XXXVIII. 

NEW ENGLAND is 7-1 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season with the average margin of victory coming by 12.3 ppg. NEW ENGLAND is 8-1 ATS L/9 vs. top tier passing teams averaging 260 or more passing yards/game winning by just under 20 ppg and is 10-1 ATS versus top tier offensive teams - averaging 6 or more yards/play and 14-3 ATS as a favorite this season.

The Clippers enter this tilt against their hosts the Boston Celtics having lost  3 of their L/4, but two of those losses came to the leagues most explosive team the Golden State Warriors. The Clippers usually stable D, has been their biggest issue, of late , but are more than capable of righting that ship against a tired Boston side, that is off a hard fought win last time out by a 113-107 count vs the Lakers.  From a league wide trends archive it must be noted that NBA Road underdogs  like the LA Clippers- - after allowing 105 points or more 3 straight games against opponent after a win by 6 points or less or 35-4 L/39  ATS dating back 5 seasons. I know the Celtics are on a 6 game winning streak,but the Clovers are just  1-11 ATS L/12 after 4 or more consecutive wins over the last couple seasons.
