Georgia Tech +5.5

UNC has Duke on deck. Love fading the Tar Heels the game before playing their Arch rival and it's even better this season as they completely fell apart when they faced Duke earlier in the year. They had the game won and allowed Duke to come back in the finally minute and eventually win in OT. Big time lookahead spot as they want their revenge. With the oddsmakers putting out a short number on this game, looks like we have a live dog in this one.

40* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

Los Angles Clippers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves UNDER 206.5

Clippers played yesterday and it looks like this team is going to have a few questionable starters and players resting. Minnesota is starting to play much slower now. The UNDER is 6-1 the last 7 meetings in Minnesota and LA has played to 4 straight unders. 

Also have a personal play on Golden State/Brooklyn OVER 104.5 playing for 20* (2%)

Texas -3

Going to follow the money here with the Longhorns. The public LOVES the underdog Bears tonight and yet the line is continuing to rise. Also been debating on 76ers +9 and Nets +6. Not sure if I'm going to pull the trigger or not but will post if they are official plays.

Utah -1.5

Arizona absolutely crushed Utah the last time these two teams met. You best believe Utah is out for some revenge. The Utes are one of the best teams in the country when they play in their own building. Utah is 16-0 at home and all but one of those victories were by double digits. Arizona has shown that they are susceptible on the road and the altitude of Utah could definitely cause some problems for them. This is the biggest game of the season for the Utes and I expect them to take care of business in front of a ruckus crowd tonight.

30*

UTEP -11

50* NCAA UNDERDOG OF THE YEAR

Kent State +1.5

Revenge is an understatement for what Kent State has tonight. Their worst loss of the season came at the hands of Buffalo. Kent State has played exceptional at home this season and that was without one of, if not, their best players in Jimmy Hall. He is finally back and healthy and this gives a BIG lift to this club. This game is HUGE for Kent has if they win, they stay neck and neck with Bowling Green for the top stop of the conference. With 4 road losses already in conference play, Buffalo has shown they can struggle away from their building. These two teams play two different styles. Buffalo plays fast and Kent wants to slow you down. If Kent controls the pace of this game and knocks down their 3 pointers (Buffalo is one of the worst in the conference defending the perimeter) they dominate this game. Kent is also undefeated at home when avenging a loss of 15+ points in the same season. Look for that trend to continue tonight.

Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors UNDER 213

Believe it or not, Golden State has one of best defenses in the league. Although this team scores a ton of points, they have gone under the total in 6 of their last 7 games and when playing on a back to back set, they have gone under 9 of the last 13. This team also bounces back nicely after a poor defensive performance. They are 43-20 to the under when giving up 100+ points their previous game. As for the Raptors, they have gone under the total in 5 of their last 6 and 10 of their last 11 games have gone under to teams with a winning record. Both of these teams are pure jump shooting teams. All it takes is one team to get ice cold, and this stays under with ease. This is still a lot of points and with the money coming in on the under already, we'll take this for 3%.

40* NBA HOME TOWN BEAT DOWN

Boston Celtics -2

The additions of Jarebko, Crowder, and Isiah Thomas have really lifted this Celtics team. They have covered 4 straight home games and 5 straight against the Eastern Conference. Boston also has double revenge from 2 prior losses this season to Charlotte. In a nut shell, the Celtics are playing better ball, their at home, and have revenge. At this current number, it's a no brainer to back the boys from Boston tonight.

20*

Pacific +3.5

There were 3 games that just missed today's card. Temple -14, Memphis +2.5, and Portland +3. Houston is a terrible squad and if Temple gives a solid effort, they should be able to win by 20+ but 14 points is a lot of chalk. Memphis is very tough at FedEx forum and a TON of money has come in on Portland against BYU as we missed the opening number of 5 and is now as low as 2.5 at most spots.

50* NCAA BIG SKY GAME OF THE YEAR

Montana +1

The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the conference right now as they have won 5 straight and 11 out of 13. Their only 2 losses came to the top 2 teams of the conference, EWU and Sac St. This team takes care of business against the weaker teams of their league. 9 of their 11 wins came by double digits. Montana has 3 straight road games left and they need ALL of them to take the top spot in the Big Sky. They have done well against the number away from home of late, cashing 5 straight road games. Let's not forget, even though this team lost, they took Boise State and California to double OT. This is a very solid team. They shoot well from the free throw line at just above 70% and they ranked 50th in the country in FG percentage at 46.6%. That's terrible news for Idaho as their defense is just down right dreadful. They foul a TON as they average more than 22 fouls a game and they rank in the 300's in almost all defensive categories. Idaho also has another home game left on their schedule, so that helps us as this wouldn't be senior night with all the fans and players giving the extra effort. I do see money coming in on Montana at the moment and are listed as the favorite in most spots. Look for Montana to get this very important W tonight on the road.

40* NBA ON TNT GAME OF THE WEEK

Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5

I personally bought the hook to -3 as that is a very key number (one possession game) but -3.5 is still OK.

I also think betting the 1st quarter OVER 55 and 1st half OVER 109 are solid bets too and would play for 1% each.

20*

San Antonio Spurs +3

Those of you who have been with be for awhile know that I love taking road teams when Joey Crawford is the head referee. The road team covers at an incredible rate and just last game he was involved in, Boston was getting 8 points and won OUTRIGHT! We also like this play because eventually San Antonio needs to wake up. If this team loses 4 in a row, they've got some problems and you won't see me back them any time soon.

30*

Florida State +7.5

During rivalry games, you can through everything out the window and it all comes down to who wants it more. This is just way too many points to be giving your rival. We've see it all week now. The underdogs are cashing at an incredible rate and they're not only covering, they're winning outright. Florida State is on a bit of a roll lately, and the trends have this as a phenomenal spot for the Seminoles. 

50* NBA VEGAS INSIDER

Minnesota Timberwolves -1.5

There is a reason the T'Wolves are favored in this game. This team is starting to roll and the Wizards are a mess. The oddsmakers are clearly telling us something here as they're making a team with 12 wins on the season favored over one of the top teams in the East. The reason is that Rubio is finally back, Wiggins is playing out of his mind, and Garnett is back and has these fans riled up. Washington is just 3-12 ATS their last 15, 1-7 ATS their last 8 road games, and just 1-10 ATS following a spread loss. Everything points to Minnesota here.

30* 

Boston Celtics -10.5

20*

Orlando Magic +3

The Magic have been excellent as a home dog this season. I don't even think they should be the dog in this contest to be honest. Miami is not that good of a team and they're in a terrible spot tonight. The Heat are just 3-13 ATS after scoring 100 points their previous game. This shows that this team suffers a let down offensively when they have a great shooting night. Also they are 0-5 ATS their last 5 after a straight up win of 10+ points. 

20*

Northwestern +3

30*

East Carolina (ECU) +5

EVERY key trend favors ECU and fades UCONN. East Carolina has already beat Memphis and Cincinnati at home this season and Connecticut has struggled on the road. To make matters worse for the Huskies is that they play SMU which is a big time revenge game for them. UCONN stinks for the free throw line, shooting just 60%, which is a total joke and you can't expect to win on the road shooting from the charity stripe like that. I wouldn't be surprised if ECU won this game outright.

20*

Davidson +3

In my opinion, Davidson is the better team and they are the type of team that gives Rhode Island fit. Davidson is an up-tempo squad and they are playing great basketball of late winning 5 straight, which includes 2 road victories. Davidson is the proven post-season team and they know how to win the big games. They need this one to stay neck and neck with VCU and I believe the do it here tonight.

50* NCAA UNDERDOG MAX BET

Richmond +1.5

The Spiders have not lost at home in conference play. They also beat VCU earlier in the year and they did that by taking away what VCU does best. They didn't turn the ball over and they defended the perimeter exceptionally. VCU shot just 3-20 from beyond the arc and Richmond has the 13th ranked offense in the country taking care of the ball (not turning it over). This line is telling us something here guys. We have a very live home dog. VCU is ranked 22nd and is a pick em to a 15-12 Richmond club. The Spiders know what it takes to beat the Rams. They shoot well from the free throw line, which is imperative when taking an underdog, and they don't turn the ball over. VCU has a very important game on deck against Dayton at home and they could possibly be looking ahead to that showdown with the A-10 title up for grabs. Let's face it, this isn't the same VCU team with all their injuries and Richmond should be able to pull the minor upset in front of their home fans tonight.

30* NCAA DOUBLE DIGIT DESTROYER

Notre Dame -8

The Fighting Irish are a dominant force at home and they drain threes at an incredible rate in their building. That's horrible news for Syracuse because that's exactly how you beat them. Everyone knows about their terrific Boeheim zone and in order to beat that, you have to shoot well from the perimeter and Notre Dame is one of the best. Syracuse has also been a mess of late covering games. They are just 2-9 ATS their last 11 games and they are just 1-7 ATS facing a team with a winning record of .600+. Look for Notre Dame to win this one by double digits. 

50* NCAA GAME OF THE MONTH

West Virginia (WVU) -3.5

The Texas Longhorns absolutely blew out this WVU team their last visit by 27 points. You best believe the Mountaineers have this game circled to dish out a little payback. With Kansas losing last night, the BIG 12 is still up for grabs and with a win tonight, West Virginia will be just 1 game back of the top spot. Bob Huggins is one of the best coaches when getting his players ready for a revenge game. Expect a crazy atmosphere tonight in Morgantown as the Mountaineers will use their defense to win this ball game. WVU is 18-0 when they don't allow their opponents to score more than 70 points this season. So if Texas scores less than 70, we're cashing this ticket.

40* ROAD WARRIOR OF THE WEEK

Louisiana State (LSU) -5

LSU has been a tough team to judge this year and they have been very Jekyll and Hyde but I expect them to give a great effort tonight. LSU is on the bubble and have revenge to a home loss to Auburn earlier this year. If that doesn't motivate you than I don't know what will. Let's not kid ourselves. LSU is clearly the better team. As long as they don't make a ton of mistakes and turn the ball over, they win this with ease. Louisiana State shot just above 20% behind the arc in their loss to Auburn last time. As long as they hit 1 out of every 3 (33%) or better, we have a great chance of winning this bet.

30*

San Antonio Spurs -5.5

The Spurs have now lost 2 games in a row after the All-Star break and this team is just too good to lose 3 in a row. The Jazz may be a bit over valued here as they blew out Portland their first game back from the break. If you look closer though, that is smoke and mirrors. Portland is not a very good road team, and they go through very bad cold shooting stretches. Maybe you could blame my dislike for Portland as the last 2 times we were on them, they blew double digit fourth quarter leads to lose outright but I digress. If the Spurs play to the level their capable of and sink their threes, they win this by double digits.

20*

Boston Celtics +8

50* NCAA VEGAS INSIDER

Kansas State +5.5

This just seems way too easy to take the Jayhawks but we have a live underdog here. This line opened at +6.5 at some spots and has dropped to +5.5 and 5 with 65% of the bets on Kansas. Ton of money is coming in on Kansas State. The Wildcats have been a mess this year, I'll admit that. But this game is their season and KU has shown that they can fall apart at times and definitely buckle on the road. K State big man, Gipson, apparently lashed out at his players and gave an inspiring speech at the end of their latest drubbing. The Wildcats should come out hyped with a wild crowd to back them up. As we know, in these rivalry games, you can pretty much throw everything out the window and whoever wants it more, gets the W. Just look at Ohio State Michigan yesterday or even UNC Duke last week. Although Duke did win, they were 9 point favorites and could have very easily lost that game and needed a miracle to pull it off. Look for this game to come down to the final possessions and K State walking away with the ATS cover.

30* NBA WESTERN CONFERENCE GAME OF THE WEEK

Portland Trailblazers -3.5

The Memphis Grizzlies come off the longest break out of everyone today to take on one of the best teams in the West in one of the hardest places to play. Doesn't sound very good to me. I believe the long break is going to hurt more than help this team. The Grizz were on fire before entering the break and usually long breaks hurt momentum for teams. As for Portland, they got embarrassed by the Jazz last time out so I expect them to be fully focused for this game. Memphis also beat this team their last meeting so we also have the revenge angle working for us as well.

Oregon State -3.5

Until their last game against Utah, the Beavers were UNDEFEATED at home. This is a completely different club playing in front of their fans at Gill Coliseum. They beat UCLA here by 11 and knocked off #7 Arizona. Oregon State does a great job of dictating the tempo here and that's why they have had so much success. They play at a snails pace and this really frustrates teams. Colorado is not a good team. The Buffaloes have been getting killed in their games and even against the bad teams too. They have won just 1 of their last 5 games, losing all of them by 7 or more. To make matters worse for this team is they have Arizona on deck coming to their house so no doubt they'll be looking ahead to that match up with upset on their minds. Basically asking Oregon State just to win at home is a no brainer for me and I expect them to cruise tonight.

20*

Gonzaga vs. St. Mary's UNDER 134

We expect St. Mary's to keep this one close or even win this game. With that being said, the only way for them to do that is to control the pace of the game. The dictate the tempo very well at home and they will have to slow down this high powered Zags team.

With how bad the East is, believe it or not, Brooklyn is still alive in the playoff hunt. I see the Nets wanting this one more as the Lakers have nothing to play for and they have all but quit on the season. With the 2nd half of the season underway, I see the Lakers going into all out tank mode. The Nets have covered 4 straight in Los Angeles and expect them to make it 5 straight after tonight.

20*

Boston Celtics vs. Sacramento Kings OVER 204

40* NCAA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK

Portland +6

This Portland club is really flying under the radar. They have reeled off 4 straight wins, which includes 3 double digit victories. The Pilots have also been stellar covering games on the road as they are 21-7 their last 28 away games and 7-0 ATS facing a team with a home winning percentage of .600. This team knows how to get it done on the road and part of it is because they shoot such a high percentage from beyond the arc. They shoot almost 40% from three and that is VERY important on the road as the three ball is an automatic silencer of the crowd. As for St. Mary's, they have the ultimate look ahead game on deck as they play their rival, Gonzaga, in just 2 days on Saturday. This Gaels team also just played a grueling double OT game last time out against San Diego. This is a very bad spot for St. Mary's. Portland loss to St. Mary's at home by 10 their last meeting. Portland has their revenge and I believe the oddsmakers are telling us a lot here as St. Mary's is only favored by 6 at home, after they beat Portland by 10, on the road. I would not be surprised if this game comes right down to the wire and getting these generous points is the way to go.

20*

San Antonio Spurs -3

The All-Star break is over and now you get a week off, when before it was only 4 days. This can only mean a few things. Rust and fresh legs. Rust is going to hurt the offensive side of the ball and fresh legs will help the defensive side of the ball. Poppovich is like Nick Saban. He just doesn't lose with ample time to prepare. HINT HINT (We also like the Spurs). The Spurs got crushed the last time they faced the Clippers and they should be focused and have revenge on their minds. The Clippers not having Blake Griffin is going to hurt this team. He is big to their offensive production. I expect a lower scoring battle that the Spurs pull away late and get the W.

Brigham Young (BYU) -11.5

We have a team in a terrible spot and another in a great spot. San Diego played their home finale their last time out and lost an absolute heart breaker in double OT to St. Mary's. This team has got to be demoralized and I don't see this team getting back up. BYU has had this game circled as they lost to this San Diego team their previous meeting. To make matter's worse for San Diego is that this is Senior Night for BYU. You best believe the Cougars are going to be hyped for this game. I expect a HUGE offensive performance from BYU tonight. They should keep their foot on the gas for a full 40 minutes and dominate from start to finish.

20*

Utah State -13

This should be a blowout of epic proportions. Utah State has owned San Jose and they have won and covered the last 5 meetings. Utah State also takes care of business against the bad teams. They are 24-5 their last 29 against the losing teams. San Jose State is one of the worst teams in the country and the Aggies should not have any problem destroying them tonight.

20*

Iowa State vs. Oklahoma State OVER 143

These two teams shoot a TON of three's and they're good at it too. Iowa State has the 322nd ranked defense on the road this season. The last 6 meetings between these two teams at Oklahoma State has gone over the total 5 times. The over has cashed in 4 straight road games for the Cyclones and they are 56-24 to the over their last 80 games. This is a dead nuts over squad and if both these teams are knocking dropping treys, this flies over with ease.

30*

Virginia Tech +11

Tough spot here for the Hurricanes as they are traveling back from Boston after having to stay over night there due to the weather. To make matters worse for them is that they won a grueling double OT game so this team has go to be a bit tired. Even though their record is awful, Virginia Tech has done well ATS against the good teams. They have covered 6 of the last 7 games against teams with a winning percentage of higher than .600. They are also undefeated, 6-0 following an ATS loss.

40* NCAA CUSTOMER APPRECIATION BEST BET

Louisville vs. Syracuse UNDER 131

Was hoping last night that this game would come out at 130 or above and we got it. This game comes down to ONE huge factor. Louisville's perimeter shooting against Syracuse patented zone. They way to beat the Orange is to have great outside shooters and you have to make your shots. That's EXACTLY what Louisville struggles with. If Louisville isn't hitting their outside shots, we win this one with ease, it's as simple as that.

The Bears have lost 2 in a row and the perfect thing to cure their woes is a visit to Texas Tech. Let's face it, the Red Raiders are an awful team. They are just 2-10 ATS facing a team with a winning percentage of .600. The Bears should get a double digit victory tonight as they are 8-2 ATS following a spread loss and they are 4-1 their last 5 meetings against Texas Tech. Baylor should blow this team out as they are better in every facet of the game.

Note to subscribers: Man the last few days have had some tough beats. 6 losses that came down to the last possession or lost by 1 point. Seton Hall and Villanova not scoring a point in the final 1:30 was a tough one. Clemson Georgia Tech over losing by 1.5 points. Butler hitting a buzzer beater to win where OT would have cashed the ticket. Utah blowing a layup with 20 seconds left and then a horrible And 1 call at the other end cost us a 2 point loss, Texas A&M dominates ALL game and completely falls apart at the end but wins and cost us the cover by 1 point, and Penn State losing on one of the worst offensive foul calls ever where he gets TACKLED by the Maryland defender and it's somehow his fault. Needed to vent a bit there but that's the way things work out sometimes in gambling and its tough. Hopefully those tough losses are behind us and we start trending back upwards and get the good luck back on our side. It's only a matter of time where the breaks start going our way. I value every client and appreciate you guys putting your trust in me. Let's get back on the winning track tonight!

Best of luck!

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.

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.

Maryland vs. Penn State UNDER 126

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.

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.

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.

20*

Sacramento Kings vs. Milwaukee Bucks UNDER 196

Every stat and trend for Sacramento points to the UNDER. They have cashed 7 straight unders and this team just isn't scoring any points. An important one is they are 6-0 to the under when allowing 100 or more points their previous game. This means they really clamp down on defense after a poor performance. Milwaukee is a dead nuts under team. They are 16-7 to the under and are 9-3 to the under in their home building. Milwaukee has shown this year that they can really play some terrific defense. They had a streak this year with 11 straight unders and they weren't allowing more than 90 points. Even if the 1st half is a bit high scoring, I expect the 2nd half to have a 39-40 point quarter which should seal the deal for us.

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. 

20* TOTALS TRIFECTA

Brooklyn Nets vs. Memphis Grizzlies UNDER 190.5

Two teams that play half court styles of offense and play solid defense. Brooklyn and Memphis allow less than 100 points per game on the season. Both teams are dead nuts UNDER squads. Brooklyn has seen 4 of their last 5 games go under and 16 of their last 23 games on the road go under. Memphis is 9-1 to the under their last 10 and 5 of their last 6 home games have gone under as well. Expect a game played with little pace and solid defense which should make this a low scoring affair.

20* TOTALS TRIFECTA

Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns OVER 214.5

This one really comes down to one key factor; The Three Ball. Both teams shoot a ton and if they're knocking them down, this goes over with ease. They both get out in transition and shoot pull up threes non-stop. If either teams goes ice cold, we lose. But each team shoots so many, I think atleast 45 to 55 will be attempted tonight, so if they're hitting above 33%, we have a winner.

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* TOTALS TRIFECTA

Detroit Pistons vs. Charlotte Hornets OVER 192.5

The Hornets are clearly known as an under team but when they play the Pistons, they FLY OVER the total. The last 10 meetings between these two clubs has seen 9 overs cash. The Hornets are 13-3 to the over facing teams with a losing record and the Pistons are 8-1 to the over facing a team with a losing record. Simply put, when two bad teams play each other, usually the game goes over.

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.
