50* CBB Conference Tourney MAX BET

Notre Dame +2

Going back to the well here with Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish made beating the UVA defense last night a simple task, which is a near impossibility. It's never a bad thing to back Notre Dame. This team is amazing at the free throw line (which is a HUGE factor in meaningful games.) They are also much more experienced than the Seminoles. ND is filled with upperclassmen and FSU (for a lack of a better word) are a bunch of babies. I must admit, I do put a lot of stock in experience this time of year.

Notre Dame has been dynamite as an underdog and against the great teams of the nation. ND has covered 4 straight as a pup and have won the money in 5 straight against teams with a winning percentage of .600 or better.

50* CBB ACC GAME OF THE MONTH

North Carolina -6.5

To paraphrase this pick. You fade Duke as an underdog and you back North Carolina as a home favorite. Duke has covered the spread just once in their last 7 games as a pup and they are just 3-10 ATS on the road. Duke has been one of the worst bets (ATS) this year and North Carolina continues to be dominant at home, where they are undefeated. Which is the case with most Duke games...they need to be hot from distance to win. Team's in all levels always shoot worse from 3 point land away from home. The revenge minded UNC should dominate down low and if Duke goes on a cold spell shooting, North Carolina will blow them out.

50* CBB SEC GAME OF THE YEAR

Missouri +4

The last time these two teams met, it was a battle all the way to the end with the Tigers losing by just 3. That game was on the road. The Tigers now get to play in their building against the Aggies for their home finale, which should give these players a huge boost.

Missouri has been money against the spread as a home dog recently, covering 6 straight. Furthermore, Texas A&M has been a train wreck on the road (2-7) and are just 3-9 when listed as the favorite. This shows that Texas A&M doesn't perform well when they are "supposed" to win and Missouri relishes the fact when they aren't expected to do much.

The Aggies are in a tough spot. They get the mighty Kentucky Wildcats at home for their finale on deck and they got PUNISHED by them last meeting. They could be caught looking ahead here.

Tulane -2.5

Several buy orders coming in on the home team. A 5 win team has gone from pick to -2/-3? Tulane should destroy ECU (who hasn't won a road game all year.)

I apologize for the lack of write-up on these system plays. We have found a system that has done extremely well of late and we need to keep it close to the vest. Partly has do to with fading the teams the public loves for the day's card

30*

Texas +15.5

Hard to see WVU being extremely motivated to destroy Texas tonight. The Mountaineers are coming off a double OT victory on Saturday with little help from their bench. Texas has yet to lose by this much on the road in the Big 12 and only lost by 2 to WV in their last meeting.

50* CBB ACC TOTAL OF THE YEAR

Syracuse vs. Georgia Tech UNDER 136

The last time these two teams met the total was 138 and the final score was 60-57. The time before that...46-45. The styles of these two teams, when they match up against each other, is slow and solid defense.

The Yellow Jackets are on an under tear at home, especially as an underdog. They are 25-9 to the under at home and 12-2 (under) as a dog. Most of this is because they are holding teams to under 40% shooting on the season and have only allowed 61.3 points at home this year. Furthermore, GT are one of the worst FT shooting and 3 point shooting teams in the land, and that's how you beat this Syracuse zone. An under is a mix of poor offense and solid defense and that's what we have here tonight.

Like we do all the time, we are fading the masses. Everyone is on the dog tonight. It's almost always a great bet to fade the underdog the publc loves. Furthermore, Duke has been pathetic as an underdog. They have failed to cover 6 straight as a dog and are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games. UVA has been a money making machine coming off a loss and even better as a home favorite of less than 3 possessions (7 points,) covering 8 straight.

50* NBA Western Conference TOTAL OF THE YEAR

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Memphis Grizzlies UNDER 206

Total is too high in my opinion. I really liked anything under 200 and was shocked we got 206. Both teams are in their best under form tonight. Pelicans go under on the road (50-23) and Grizzlies go under when playing at home (20-5.) Furthermore, Pelicans are a dead nuts under team when playing the good teams of the league (.600+) and the Grizzlies have gone under in 9 of their last 10 games facing a team with a losing record. 

This will be the 3rd meeting this year between these two teams. Surprisingly both games went to OT. This has lead to misleading final scores. One of the games went to double OT and there still was only 218 points. However, there was only 188 points scored through 4 quarters and that was at New Orleans. The game IN Memphis...only had 172 points through an extra session (150 through 4 quarters.) So if you take overtime out of the equation, these two teams average 169 points per game and this game is lined 206?! Under heavy!

50* CBB MAC GAME OF THE YEAR

Eastern Michigan +2

This falls into our favorite system for College Basketball. A couple of the main reasons for this play is the trap line and we are getting a home dog desperate for a win.

Akron is 20-4 on the season and sits atop of the MAC standings at 10-1. They take on an Eastern Michigan team that is 13-11, but has lost 3 in a row and 5 of their last 6, yet this spread is basically pick. Like I say all the time, Vegas isn't stupid. They very rarely make mistakes. The public is all over Akron and they are the most popular bet on the College Basketball card at many books. The public should get buried tonight.

With these smaller conference schools, they hardly are on National TV. Furthermore, they almost never get the cameras AT their home gym. This will give a huge boost to the players, crowd, and some favorable calls from the officials. EMU has played well at home, going 8-3 and are exceptional when they are an underdog. They have covered 21 of their last 27 as a home dog.

Akron has failed to cover the spread in 4 straight games vs. the MAC and the Zips are just 4-4 on the road, losing their last road game by 15 points (they were 1.5/2 point favorites.)

Lots of sharp players I have spoken with love the dog here, mainly for motivation. Grizzlies are coming off a dominating performace against the Spurs and have the Golden State Warriors on deck. This is a big sandwich spot for Memphis and its hard seeing them going all out to dominate the Suns tonight by double digits. The Suns don't win much obviously but they have held their own against top compeition and can sneak up on teams that look passed them, especially on the road, covering 4 of the last 5.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting points to the Washington Wizards. I didn't think I would ever say those words. There's a reason for this folks. Like I say all the time, Vegas doesn't give away money. The Wizards are destroying everything in their paths at home. The Verizon center should be live tonight and these players should be ultra motivated, trying to take down the Champs and keep their home win streak record intact. The Cavaliers are total money burners this season and I expect them to burn up some more cash again tonight and take down the public with them as well.
