50* NCAA BLOWOUT OF THE MONTH

Notre Dame -11

The Fighting Irish have been playing a bit rough lately, but having this week off has got to do nothing but help these boys. You know they are dying to get out there to prove their worth and their facing a perfect team to do it against in Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are one of the WORST defensive teams in the country. They rank 280th in the nation. Meanwhile, Notre Dame has one of the BEST offenses in the country. They rank 14 in the nation. If Notre Dame gets rolling beyond the arc, this could get very ugly. Another thing going for us is that Wake Forest just lost a heart breaker to UVA on Saturday. They played their hearts out and came up just short. They have to be in for a let down and to make matters worse, they have the same UVA team on deck. This may well be a lookahead spot for them as they want their quick revenge. Notre Dame is a completely different team at home. They are 15-1 and they should have no problem rolling over a much inferior opponent tonight.

St. John's +7

30*

Georgia -6.5

Look for Georgia to get their revenge here as the Gamecocks handed them their worst loss of the season earlier in the year. South Carolina has completely fallen apart and has gone 0-6 straight up and ATS their last 6 games. The Bulldogs got a bit of a wake up call losing to Auburn their last time out and I expect a strong bounce back performance tonight.

20*

Utah -17

40* NCAA ROAD WARRIOR OF THE WEEK

Arizona State -2

We faded this Washington team last night out and they got destroyed. Looking for a similar result today. The Huskies are just not the same after dismissing big man, Robert Upshaw. They are 0-5 (1-4 ATS) since his departure. Their defense has completely dropped off as they have, statically, the worst defense in country. Arizona State comes into this game with revenge and they should get it today. This line opened at Washington -1 and pick em, but with 65% of the bets on the Huskies, the lined has carried to -2 and -2.5 to the Sun Devils. Going to follow the money here with Arizona State as they should get the job done on the road today.

40* NCAA VEGAS INSIDER

Penn State -1.5

This is the definition of a trap game. Maryland is ranked #19 in the country with a 20-5 record and they're the underdog to a 15-10 Penn State squad. If you look closer you will see that Maryland is awful on the road in conference play this year. They are just 1-4 their last 5 road games. Speaking of conference play, the Terrapins are 0-6 ATS their last 6 vs. the Big 10. I expect a very solid effort from Penn State tonight after getting blowout in their last game against Ohio State. Penn State is 4-0 ATS after a loss this season. Even though their record doesn't show it, the Nittany Lions have been cashing tickets. They are 6-1 ATS their last 7 contests. Penn State also has revenge from a loss just a couple weeks ago to this Maryland team and I fully expect them to get their revenge tonight.

20*

Alabama -4

50* NCAA SEC GAME OF THE MONTH

Texas A&M -2.5

We get to back a 16-7 team who is 10-2 at home tonight that basically just has to win against a team that is 12-12 and 2-5 on the road simply because of public perception and the love the Florida Gators get on a daily basis. The Aggies lost their last time out and this has been a terrific team to back following a loss in recent years. Texas A&M is 52-25 ATS their last 77 games following a loss, which includes cashing 5 straight. I expect Florida to be completely drained after losing a heart breaker to Ole Miss by one point in their previous game. Florida has lost 3 straight and if you look closer, they are just 3 points away from having 8 straight defeats. Another thing that severely hurts the Gators is the injury to Frazier II. He is the only player on this team that knows how to score and that is going to be a serious problem going up against a very stingy Aggie defense. Texas A&M is just one game back of second place in the SEC and that is big for their NCAA Tourney hopes. I expect a HUGE effort from the Aggies in front of their home fans tonight and they should win this game comfortably.

40* NCAA THE BIG UNDERDOG

UNC-Greensboro +10

This game is on ESPN3

The Spartans have revenge from a beatdown loss at the hands of Mercer this year. They lost by 21 but yet they're only 10 point dogs here. Something's up. Mercer has Chattanooga on deck and they very well could be looking ahead to that one. The Spartans have been playing much better of late and they 9-3 ATS when facing a team with a winning percentage of .600 their last 12. Mercer has covered just 2 of their last 10 being favored by double digits and I see them continuing to struggle to cover the big number here.

30*

Washington State +5

This play is based off a fade of Arizona State. They come off a huge victory over their arch rivals, the Arizona Wildcats, and they should be in for a let down. Arizona State is also a very poor defensive team as they are dead last in turnover margin, 3 pointers allowed, and 2nd to last in FG%.

For those of you that like teasers, I think a +5.5 teaser with Washington State and Manhattan is a very solid play: Washington State +10.5 and Manhattan +7.5. That clears the key number of 7 for both squads and getting that many points on a home college dog is always a safe bet.

20*

Manhattan +2

This line smells fishy as hell and seems like a trap. Iona is 19-6 and Manhattan is 12-11 and this line is basically a pick'em. Going to take my chances here as the Jaspers should have a great chance at the outright upset.

For those of you that like teasers, I think a +5.5 teaser with Washington State and Manhattan is a very solid play: Washington State +10.5 and Manhattan +7.5. That clears the key number of 7 for both squads and getting that many points on a home college dog is always a safe bet.

30* PAC -12 POWERHOUSE

Arizona -11.5

This was going to be a TOP PLAY at -10 but the line got away from us a little bit so we'll still play this one for 3%. Arizona is going to be pissed off after losing to Arizona State their last time out and they have the perfect team to dish out punishment to in the Washington Huskies. Ever since Washington got rid of Robert Upshaw, they are 0-4 (1-3 ATS) and they have the WORST defense in the country. That's not hyperbole either. The WORST defense in basketball. Arizona is 20-3 ATS the last 23 times being favored by double digits and they are winning those games by an average of 20+ points. This game could get out of control fast as Arizona should destroy Washington tonight.

50* NCAA UNDERDOG OF THE MONTH

Minnesota +6.5

This one pretty much comes down to how Iowa closes games out. They have had a SERIOUS problem in the past doing so and in order to win by 3 possessions, you have be to very good at doing so and I don't think they have the ability to do that. Most people will see that Iowa has reeled off 2 straight wins against Maryland and Michigan, so they should keep that success going and dominate here at home. Not so fast. The fact is that Iowa is just 5-12 ATS their last 17 home games. That's not much of a home field advantage if you ask me. The Hawkeyes have also lost by double digits at home, 3 times this season. Minnesota lost on a late bucket the first time these guys met this season and that was with Iowa shooting lights out in the ball game. Minnesota has some serious revenge going in this one. I do recommend buying the hook for this game as +7 is a very KEY number in hoops and I don't see Minnesota dropping this one by 8 or more tonight.

50* MOUNTAIN WEST GAME OF THE MONTH

Boise State -9.5

The Broncos are playing the best basketball in the Mountain West right now as they have won 7 straight ball games. What's impressive about this win streak is that it's been against the good teams. They beat Colorado State, San Diego State, UNLV, Wyoming, and New Mexico. Boise State has a very good chance of making the big dance as long as they keep winning and a great way to improve on their resume is a blowout victory here at home. A scare here at home and Boise is in big trouble. I don't see that happening though as Boise is a very good team at home and Air Force is awful on the road. They have lost 5 of the last 6 games away from home with their only win coming against a terrible San Jose State team. To be successful on the road, you need to shoot free throws and 3's well and Boise has the clear advantage there. Look for Boise State to get big lift from their home town fans tonight as they cruise to a double digit victory.

30*

Maryland -6

The Hoosiers smashed the Terrapins the last time they met by 19 points, 3 weeks ago. Maryland should be ready to dish out some revenge. Both of these teams have the same problem. They stink on the road, and they're great at home. Bad news for the Hoosiers is that they're traveling to Maryland for this game. Indiana has lost it's last 3 road games by double digits. There's a three way tie for 2nd in the BIG 10 standings and with a win here, Maryland will have sole possession of that spot and I believe they get it done convincingly tonight in front of their home fans.

UPDATE: 69% of the bets are on Indiana here and the line is climbing. Money is coming in on our side here and typically when the public loves an underdog, it's a sign to jump all over the favorite since the public usually takes favorites.

40* NBA BLOWOUT OF THE WEEK

Cleveland Cavaliers -11.5

LeBron James lost to his former team earlier this season in Miami. No doubt this team wants their revenge. They are playing arguably the best basketball in the league and they should crush this depleted Heat team. I expect most of the Heat players to completely check out of this game with the break coming for them after the game is over. Another negative for the Heat is that this has been a terrible spot for them. They are 8-22 ATS following a straight up win and they are just 1-5 following a win of 10 or more points. Cleveland still has a game Thursday so I do believe them to stay focused for this game. They have been on a complete ATS tear as they have covered 11 of their last 14 games and 8 of their last 9 home games. I expect Cleveland to jump out early on these guys and the only negative is if Cleveland is beating them too badly, all the starters may sit and leave the back door open. This game is just a mismatch in so many ways that Cleveland should destroy the Heat tonight.

40* VEGAS INSIDER

Minnesota Timberwolves +9.5

This game is very similar to the Notre Dame/Clemson game last night. One of those fishy lines that leads to a trap. Clemson covered their game that was begging for Notre Dame money and I expect Minnesota to do the same here. This line opened at 10.5 and it dropped to 8 at some spots till finally climbing back up a bit with close to 80% of the bets on the Golden State Warriors. Minnesota has been playing better of late and with the All-Star Break starting tomorrow with players from the Warriors heading to All-Star weekend, they may check out of this game and just want to get this game over with to go on vacation with their families. Look for Minnesota to keep this one in single digits tonight.

20* BONUS DOGS

Nebraska +9

Just can't pass up this many points on a home dog. Nebraska has one of, if not the best, home court advantages in the game. The Cornhuskers are a COMPLETELY different team in this building. On the road, their one of the worst. At home, they are a TOP 10 team without question. 

30*

Fairfield +8.5

Love taking home dogs, especially in college. This is a lot of points to lay on the road for Iona and they are not in a spot to be doing so tonight. Iona is just 3-13 ATS their last 16 after a blowout win of 20+ points. The Gaels are also just 1-4 ATS their last 5 after covering the spread their previous game. Look for the Stags to keep this one closer than expected tonight.

40* OUTRIGHT UNDERDOG

Cincinnati +2

20* BONUS DOGS

East Carolina +5.5

Memphis lost one of, if not, their best players last game against Temple and this is a huge blow to this team. This Memphis club is not very good on the road. To be successful on the road you need to hit 3's and foul shots. This club doesn't do either. It would not surprise me if ECU won this game outright.

50* ONE & ONLY NCAA GAME OF THE YEAR

Baylor -6.5

Almost everything I look for in a game when deciding a top play has fallen into place for this game. Oklahoma State just upset Kansas on their home floor, coming back from a double digit deficit. Here comes a letdown. To make matters worse, that was also on Saturday, so the quick turnaround AND travel has got to hurt this team. The Cowboys beat Texas in OT the game before that, which was only 4 days ago. This team has got to be tired and the icing on the cake is that they beat this Baylor squad less than two weeks ago. Baylor should be in for some serious revenge. To say the Baylor Bears have been on a roll is an understatement. They've won 4 out of their last 5 (yes their only loss was Okie State) and their victories have all been in BLOWOUT fashion. They beat #18 Oklahoma by 11, #19 Texas by 23, and just smashed #15 West Virginia by 18. They're playing arguably the best basketball, in the best conference in America right now. A big key for this game is rebounding and the Bears have a HUGE advantage on the boards. Baylor ranks 4th in the nation in rebounding, while Oklahoma State is 192nd. The Bears are also the 20th best defensive team in the country and that should cause serious problems for the Cowboys as they are the type of team that struggles if they are not hitting their shots since they are 268th in assists. Baylor shot a miserable 34% in their loss to Oklahoma State their last meeting. As long as they don't go completely cold from the field, Baylor dominates this game from start to finish as they are the better rebounding team, better defensive team, and better offensive team. Baylor IS the better all-around team, and given the situations, this leads us to making the Baylor Bears THE NCAA GAME OF THE YEAR!

Wanted to add some trends that support our case:

Baylor is 10-2 ATS their last 12 against a team with a losing road record.

The home team is 13-3 ATS the last 16 in this series.

Oklahoma State is 1-10 ATS their last 11 meetings in Baylor.

Oklahoma State is 1-5 ATS their last 6 meetings.

50* represents 5% of your bankroll. Don't go crazy. At the end of the day, this is just ONE game. Please bet responsibly. Best of luck!

40* NBATV GAME OF THE WEEK

San Antonio Spurs -1

The annual Rodeo Road Trip kicks off for the Spurs tonight in Toronto and I expect the Spurs to be focused and ready for the most popular stretch of road games in the league. The Spurs are hot right now and good news for them is that they have been very successful in this spot over the past 12 seasons. The Spurs have won the first game of the Rodeo Road Trip, 10 out of 12 times. Given the recent history of the Toronto Raptors against the good teams of the league, winning just 2 of their last 9, and being just 3-13 ATS their last 16 games playing on 1 day rest, look for San Antonio to get the win tonight.

20*

Oakland +8

50* NCAA MAX BET

Indiana -7.5

I'll start off by saying this. Michigan is vastly overrated and they are playing without their two best players. This team has nothing, they rely way too much on the three ball and if their not dropping, they get destroyed. Bad news for the Wolverines is that Indiana defends the perimeter well. Historically, Indiana has DOMINATED Michigan at home. They have taken 16 of the last 17 and have covered the spread, 6 of the last 7 meetings. Indiana on the season is 13-1 straight up at home and they have a terrific atmosphere. They haven't lost since November! The Hoosiers should run this team out of the gym. They're bigger, better, and deeper, and I expect Indiana to pull away in the second half because Michigan cannot keep up with this squad.

30*

Portland Trailblazers +3

20*

UCLA -3.5

Both these teams enter this contest off wild finishes in their previous games. UCLA squeaked by Stanford last time out as they had a 20+ point 2nd half lead and it still came down to the final shot. I believe this will keep this team focused because they very easily could have lost that game. California almost lost to USC! That's right USC! Luckily they hit a 3 point buzzer beater to seal a one point victory. I smell a letdown. This team has some problems that I don't think will be cured by the time UCLA comes into town. As for the Bruins, they look like they have finally turned the corner after the dreadful start to the season and I expect them to get this much needed W late in the season.

20*

Ole Miss (Mississippi) -4

The Rebels are playing great basketball right now and they have reeled off 4 straight wins. They just had a impressive win over Texas A&M, ending their 6 game win streak. Auburn comes into this game off a huge upset win over LSU as 12 point underdogs. The Tigers are a very bad team. They rank in the 200's and above in almost every statistical category. I expect Auburn to suffer a bit of a let down here as Ole Miss take this one comfortably on the road.

Duke -9

I believe the oddsmakers are telling us something here by making Duke this big of a favorite. Everyone and their mother are going to line up and take Notre Dame, seeing how many points they will get, but this seems like a trap to me. We know that Notre Dame beat them recently and Duke has the obvious revenge angle but this is a very quick turnaround as that game was last week. This game is fresh in the minds of the Dukies and lets remember, they have the best coach in the business. Coach K's gameplan, I feel, will completely shut down the Irish and the Blue Devils should win this one by double digits.

30* TV TRIFECTA

West Virginia -3.5

Would have made this a TOP PLAY if this line came out at less than 3 but we'll still play this for 3%. I expect West Virginia to bounce back after their awful performance on national TV against the Sooners. The Mountaineers were without their best player in that game due to an illness so that did play a part in that loss. Williams will be back for this one and it should pay dividends. What makes WVU so successful is their full court pressure. They lead the nation in steals and turnovers on defense and that is horrible news for Baylor. They are 172nd in the nation committing turnovers and they haven't seen this press yet. The Bears should be in for a long day on the offensive side of the ball and WVU should run away with this one by getting a ton of points of turnovers.

20*

Utah Jazz +5.5

My top NBA guys loves this play and we agree with it. Even though the Jazz have dropped 3 of their last 4 games, they have covered the spread in all of them. They also have been playing really well on the road going 11-4 ATS their last 15. They have played well against the good team of the league and are 7-3 their last 10 against teams with a winning record. On the other hand, the Suns have been costing bettors a lot of money of late losing 6 of their last 8 games ATS. With 70% of the bets on the Suns and with the line continuing to drop, I expect the Jazz to keep this one close tonight and wouldn't be surprised if this one came down to the wire.

20*

Orlando Magic -3.5

Mad at myself for not getting this at -3 but you can always buy the half a point. Orlando just fired their coach and usually you get a very strong effort out of a team after a firing or letting someone go. Just look at the Pistons when they got rid of Josh Smith. The Lakers continue to be a mess and they are even worse on the road. Orlando should be able to do enough to get the W here and we'll play it small with at the current number.

UPDATE: I see this line is now at -4.5 and even -5 at some places. If you don't want to lay the number, consider doing a moneyline parlay with Orlando and Memphis. 

30* BAILOUT BEATDOWN 

California -5

Two teams going in opposite directions. Cal has won its last two games and looks like they have turned a corner. They lost to the Trojans by double digits earlier this season and the Golden Bears should be ready for this one and get their revenge. USC is the laughing stock of the power conferences. They don't do anything right. At times it looks like they have quit on the season already. The Trojans have lost 6 straight and in blowout fashion. They rank 273rd in the nation in FG % and 191 in points per game. Look for California to mop the floor with the lowly Trojans tonight.

30*

Portland +4

50* C-USA GAME OF THE YEAR

UAB +3

This line is fishy as LA Tech is a public team. UAB has some revenge after getting beat by Tech, even though the Blazers out played them. But that was on the road. Now, the Blazers get them at home where they are much better. They haven't lost in close to two months there. What is going to be the difference in this game is the rebounding. UAB has the CLEAR advantage in this category as they are the BEST in the conference and LA Tech is one of the worst. Another very important factor when backing a dog is their FT shooting % and clearly UAB is the better team from the charity stripe. This a HUGE game for UAB tonight and I expect an outright victory for these guys tonight.

30* NBA ON TNT GAME OF THE WEEK

Cleveland Cavaliers -4.5

The Los Angles Clippers have had a problem over the last few years, and it's that they beat up on the bad teams and lose to the good teams. Well they're playing the one of, if not, the hottest team in basketball right now. The Cavs have reeled off 11 straight wins and this team is finally starting to gel. Mozgov makes a huge difference for this team as they will have someone to contest Jordan and Griffin down low. Another problem for the Clippers tonight is that Reddick will be out and the Clippers don't have the greatest bench. Look for Cleveland to get up for this huge national TV home game and come away with a convincing W tonight.

30*

St. Louis Blues -1.5

In a nutshell, NOBODY is hotter than the St. Louis Blues and NOBODY is colder right now than the Buffalo Sabres. This should just be a good old fashioned butt whooping. St. Louis hasn't lost in regulation in weeks and Buffalo finally ended their 14 game losing streak last game against Montreal. I expect Buffalo to have a bit of a letdown finally ending their losing streak, while St. Louis continues to roll along.

Washington Wizards +6

As you know by now, The Atlanta Hawks win streak came to an end on Monday at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans. One of my favorite situations in sports is fading a team the next game after losing to end a long winning streak. Conventional wisdom would tell you that "Oh, they should bounce back after the rare loss." Usually that is NOT the case. The team suffers a letdown again and, more often than not, they are still overvalued. We have that scenario here tonight along with another great spot that is going in the Wizards favor. Atlanta CRUSHED this team last time they played 120-89 just a couple weeks ago, so Washington still has that bad taste in their mouth and should give an inspired effort tonight. Look for the Wizards to keep this one close tonight and don't be surprised if they take this one.

Boston Celtics -2.5

The Denver Nuggets are a nightmare. It looks like Shaw has lost his players. We faded them last night against the 76ers and it worked to perfection, but even I'll admit, I didn't think they were going to get crushed. The Boston Celtics are starting to get in a groove and they should easily take care of business tonight. We've got 2 teams going in two different directions and we'll back the team trending up tonight.

20* NBA DOUBLE DOG

Utah Jazz +8

There are a lot of eye popping trends that lead me to this play. For instance, Utah is an incredible 7-0 ATS on the road after a win as a home dog the last 3 seasons. They are also 5-0 ATS playing with revenge against a division rival. Portland, on the other hand, is in a terrible spot. They are just 2-15 ATS the last 5 years playing on 2 days rest being a favorite of more than 6 points. Expect Utah to keep it close tonight.

40* NCAA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK

West Virginia +6

Going to back my alma mater in this one as this team has been ATS covering machines of late. The Mountaineers have covered 4 of their last 5 games on the road and have also covered 8 of their last 11 overall. WVU has played well this season in a very tough BIG 12 conference. They CRUSHED Oklahoma last time they played by 21 as WVU creates match up problems for OU with their stout defense. I do expect a close game throughout and this just seems like too many points to be giving a very good Mountaineers team.

Its hard to gauge this 76ers team as you never know if they are going to show up. I do expect them to keep it close tonight as Denver is in a horrible spot. The Nuggets are 0-9 ATS playing on 2 days rest. The 76ers are also 4-1 their last 5 against teams with a losing record.

50* SUPER BOWL MAX BET

Seattle Seahawks 

Let me start with this. DEFENSE wins Championships. It's the oldest rule in the book. The Patriots are getting a ton of love right now from the betting public and I'm not buying it. This looks eerily similar to last year's Super Bowl. Every one lined up to bet Denver and they got their butts kicked. Another serious problem for New England is the whole Deflategate story. This distraction is going to hurt the Patriots. I also don't believe the refs are going to take to kindly to the Pats either. The Seattle Seahawks are at their best as an underdog. They DOMINATE in this role. We actually cashed our NFL UNDERDOG OF THE YEAR on this squad as they crushed Philadelphia a few weeks ago and they are damn near impossible to beat as an underdog. The most important thing for the Seahawks is to put a ton of pressure on Brady. He is not even a shell of the QB he is when you apply a ton of pressure on him. Remember the two Super Bowls he lost to the Giants? Yeah, they attacked him all night long. I have a feeling its going to be a loooooong day for Tom as Seattle repeats as Super Bowl champs.

PROPS: Some of these props may require to lay a bit of juice, but typically those are the ones that hit and provide a ton of value. The longshot props in the Super Bowl are just moneymakers for the books. Below are the props that we will be playing.

40* TOP PLAY PROP: Highest scoring half: 2nd Half + OT

UNDER 24 1st Half

Higher scoring quarter, 1st or 4th: 4th QUARTER

50* NBA GAME OF THE MONTH

San Antonio Spurs -4.5

The NBA Champs are starting to play some of the best ball of late and getting Leonard back makes all the difference in the world for this team. In my opinion, he is the most UNDER-RATED player in the game. How can you completely shut down the King, LeBron James, in the NBA Finals, be one of the best defensive players in the game, win Finals MVP, and get NO LOVE from the media. But that's a point for another day. The San Antonio Spurs are rested and The Clippers come in playing last night. The Clippers have been terrible in this spot of late, going 0-6 ATS playing on 0 rest. Los Angeles is also only 2-8 ATS their last 10 road games. San Antonio has covered 4 straight in this series and we're betting that they make it 5 in a row tonight.

My top NBA guy LOVES this play and we agree with the play. This just seems like too many points in my opinion. I wouldn't go as far as calling for the outright, given the recent success and win streak the Hawks are on, but their facing a tough western conference opponent tonight and this game should come down to the wire.

20*

Los Angeles Lakers +9.5

I expect a letdown from the Chicago Bulls tonight. Los Angeles has been a mess but they should keep this one close. Their last game they were dominating the Wizards, but like Laker fashion, they went cold and ended up losing but did cover depending on your number. Chicago typically doesn't do well as heavy favorites and the last time they were laying this kind of number, Miami crushed them to a wire-to-wire victory. Look for LA to keep this one in single digits tonight.

20*

UCLA +6.5

HUGE revenge spot here for the Bruins as they got destroyed by 30+ last time against the Utes. UCLA is 9-1 at home this year and they should play inspired here as they have not been playing up to UCLA standards this season. ESPN will be there and I expect them to stay inside the number tonight. Utah has played two straight blowouts games so they could be a bit over valued and not ready for close game late in the ball game.

40* NCAA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK

Massachusetts (UMass) +2 

Personally playing part of the wager on the moneyline.

This one is pretty simple. UMass is great at home and Dayton is not very good on the road. UMass is a tough place to play. They have only 3 losses there over the past 2 years. This line is telling us something here, making this game a pick em with Dayton being 16-3 and UMass is 10-9. UMass is a very live dog here tonight. They shoot FTs well, which is very important backing a dog, and they play with a fast pace. This is the type of team that gives Dayton trouble. Add in the fact that UMass is bigger down low and you have the recipe for an upset tonight.

Milwaukee Bucks +3

Going to play part of the wager on the moneyline

In my opinion, Milwaukee should be favored in this one. Miami is not a very good team and I believe they are over valued here after their big win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. This Miami team is in one of their worst spots as they are 3-14 their last 17 following a straight up win and 3-14 their last 17 following a ATS win as well. Milwaukee has been very good playing against the losing teams of the league as they are 19-7 facing a team with a losing record and have covered the spread in those games in 4 straight. Bucks are the better team and getting the points here are a bonus.

Georgetown -5

The Hoyas have been playing very well at home this season and they have revenge on their minds from getting handed their worst loss of the season by this team earlier this year. Georgetown has been playing extremely well in conference play and I expect them to get their revenge tonight.

40* BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH

Kansas State -1

WVU had a very controversial and stunning OT victory last time out against TCU Saturday and this should cause a letdown for the Mountaineers tonight. Kansas State plays extremely well at home and WVU is not a good team on the road. KSU is an incredible 25-6-2 ATS at home against teams with a winning record. They play very well against the good teams, and they know how to get up for the big games. They are a well coach group and even though their overall record doesn't show it, they are at the TOP of conference. Expect Kansas State to play inspired ball in front of their home crowd and get the W tonight.

30*

Pittsburgh -4

VT should come out flat in this game after letting UVA slip through their fingers last outing. They have been getting destroyed this season by everyone and if Pittsburgh shoots a solid percentage from the field, they crush this very bad Hokie team.

20*

Philadelphia 76ers +15

I hate this 76ers team but with that being said 15 points is just way too much to give them tonight. New Orleans has not won ATS following an upset win this season. They are 0-8. They beat Dallas as 3 point dogs last night and I don't see how they win by more than 2 touchdowns. I do expect them to win, but given the fact that this a back to back for them and their 6th game in 9 nights, they will take it easy and not keep the petal to the metal and win this game by single digits.

Orlando Magic +12

Dallas Mavericks -3

We are also going to play a moneyline parlay with Duke and Louisville. 

Dallas has always been a very good team on the road, especially after a loss. The Mavericks are 43-18 ATS on the road and they are 49-21 ATS after a straight up loss. Pelicans are being over valued here as they have won 2 straight games, but they have come against the 2 worst teams in the West, Minnesota and Los Angeles. Look for Dallas to bounce back after that bad performance on ESPN their last time out.

40* NBA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK

Oklahoma City Thunder +4.5

I was oh so close for playing this on the moneyline but decided to play it safe with the very generous points. I expect OKC to win this game. The Atlanta Hawks are on a very impressive win streak right now, but they have played 8 straight eastern conference opponents. A simple rule for the NBA is the West beats the East. The West is just hands down more competitive and there's a lot more talent. OKC is on a roll right now and I think Atlanta is going to have a very tough time containing Durant and Westbrook. The Thunder is clearly the better team when they are all healthy and clicking on all cylinders. OKC gets it done on the road tonight. 

Personally played 3% on spread and 1% on moneyline

30*

Cleveland Cavaliers -10

Looks like the Cavaliers have finally turned the corner. This team was a disaster at the beginning of the season but they are playing to their abilities of late and have been blowing teams out. Cleveland is top to bottom a better team than Charlotte. As long as Cleveland keeps playing the way they have over the past few games, they blow this team out. 

40* NBA ROAD WARRIOR

Orlando Magic -2

To put it nicely, the Knicks SUCK! Yes, they have won two games in a row, but it was to a Pelicans team that sat pretty much their entire starting line-up and Philadelphia, the laughing stock of the league. Orlando is much better than New York. Most of you guys know this by now but I can't stand Carmelo Anthony. He is, without a doubt, the most overrated player in professional sports and how he is an All-Star STARTER just blows my mind. He turns the ball over way too often and balls hogs like nobody's business. I expect Orlando to crush this team tonight an send the Knicks back to reality as the worst team in the NBA.

30*

Los Angeles Clippers -11.5

The Brooklyn Nets are awful. Yes, they did beat Sacramento last night, but they almost blew a 23 point lead in that game. They had to huge a ton of energy to hold on in the final minutes last night and I can see the effects going into this game tonight. Brooklyn did lose 7 straight games this month and 5 of those were at Barclay's Center. They even lost to PHILADELPHIA. Los Angeles has had 2 nights off to prepare for this game and the Clippers have always been good against the bad teams of the league. L.A should crush Brooklyn tonight and keep their foot on the gas knowing their next game isn't until this weekend.

20*

Boston Celtics +7.5

Solid spot here for the Celtics as the Trailblazers are shorthanded without LaMarcus Aldridge. A great situation in the NBA is fading a team the SECOND game their star is out, especially following an ATS win the previous game. The are usually flat from their inspired effort. Portland is playing back to back nights and had to travel from Phoenix last night. Look for Boston to keep this one close tonight.

50* NBA NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR

Milwaukee Bucks -7.5

We cashed our NBA PRE ALL STAR GAME OF THE YEAR behind Milwaukee in a similar spot and we'll go large on them again as they are prime for another blowout win tonight. The Utah Jazz just got pummeled against the Cleveland Cavaliers and now they have to travel to Milwaukee to play the Bucks. This is a bad spot for Utah. For one, they are terrible on the road and they are just 6-15 ATS as well when playing on no rest. On the other hand, Milwaukee is 10-3 ATS playing on 2 days rest. The Bucks have been playing great basketball lately and Jason Kidd has done a fine job with these guys. This is their first game of a 3 games in 4 nights set and I don't expect them to look past this young Utah team as they need this win as the next two will be tough against a rising Detroit club and the NBA champ, San Antonio Spurs. If Milwaukee plays the brand of defense they are capable of and don't go completely cold from the field, they cruise to a double digit victory on their home floor tonight.

50* NCAA BAILOUT GAME OF THE MONTH

UNLV -4

New Mexico is not very good away from home and they are not a good offensive team either. They average just 63 points per game. UNLV should be extra focused in this one as they let San Diego State slip through their fingers this weekend. The Running Rebels are 8-1 at home and they are in a great spot tonight as well. They are 5-0 ATS their following game after scoring less than 50 points their previous game.

I do like Sacramento here -5.5 but there's a few moneyline parlays that are worth looking at.

ML = moneyline

Sacramento ML+ Memphis ML =+105 odds

Cleveland ML + Atlanta ML + Dallas ML= -130 odds

40* SITUATIONAL SLAM DUNK

Marquette +6

HUGE lookahead spot here for St. Johns. They have Duke on deck in Madison Square Garden as Coach K is looking for win number 1000. Marquette should be able to keep this one close, especially if they are knocking down their shots and don't go completely cold from the field.

30*

Tulsa -4

Big revenge spot here for Tulsa and my top NCAA guy loves this play and we agree with it as Memphis is just not a good team, especially on the road.
