LATE-NIGHT CELTICS @ CLIPPERS NBA MONEYMAKER

The Boston Celtics took a beating by the Lakers here at Staples Center last night, but I think they'll do better here against the Clippers the following night. Playing on back-to-back nights has not affected the Celtics who are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Clippers are in a potential flat spot, coming off a 102-90 triumph at Portland. They are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite.

8* play on Boston Celtics. 

TOP-RATED 10* NETS @ ROCKETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Brooklyn Nets will be playing on no rest after defeating the Mavs in Dallas last night, I don't think they need fresh legs to take care of business against this Rockets team. Sure, the Rockets are coming into this contest riding a six-game winning streak, but it's somewhat of a fraudulent heater and they have not played a quality team like Brooklyn during that stretch.

The Nets have dominated this series in recent years, and they've had plenty of success against the spread in Houston, going 6-1 ATS over the last seven visits. 

10* play on Brooklyn Nets. 

THUNDER @ RAPTORS NBA TOTAL MONEYMAKER

The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen each of their last three games go over the total as they've struggled defensively, but here they'll take on a Toronto team that is averaging only 104.8 points per game. Defensively the Raptors are solid and under is 4-1 in Raptors last 5 games as a home favorite.

8* play on UNDER. 

TUESDAY NIGHT COLLEGE BASKETBALL BANKROLL BUILDER

The Charleston Cougars are 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS on the season, but I think they're in for a tough one when going on the road to take on Tulane Tuesday night. The Cougars took an overtime loss at Furman in their last game while the Green Wave routed Alcorn State their 85-64 last time out. 

This is a revenge spot for Tulane who fell 81-77 at Charleston on November 30. The bookmakers have made Tulane a home favorite for a reason, and we can note that the Cougars are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog.

8* play on Tulane Green Wave. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY - NETS @ MAVS

The Brooklyn Nets have won eight of 10 away games on the season while Dallas is only 6-5 SU at home and 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games as a home underdog. I expect a strong performance from the Nets who had won back-to-back games and six of their last seven before taking an 111-107 home loss to the Bulls in their last game. The Mavs are trending in the wrong direction with losses in four of their last five games (all home losses). 

10* play on Brooklyn Nets. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NHL PUCKLINE PLAY OF THE DAY

The Montreal Canadiens have won only six of 26 games on the season. Of their last eight losses, five came by two goals or more. The Tampa Bay Lightning have won six of their last eight, winning four of those games by at least two goals. This will be the first meeting of the season, but Tampa Bay has absolutely dominated the series in recent years, winning eight of the last nine meetings straight up and covering the puckline in four of those wins. At this price, Tampa Bay -1,5 is definitely worth a shot. 

10* play on Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5. 

PATRIOTS @ BILLS SIDE

The Buffalo Bills have traded wins and losses over their last six games. They're coming off a 31-6 triumph at New Orleans which means obviously means that they are due for a loss here against the Patriots Monday night! Joking aside, this is a bad time to face a New England team that is playing its best football since Brady left, coming off six straight wins SU and ATS. Additionally, The Patriots are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Buffalo.

I don't see many points being scored though, so I'm also recommending a bet on the under. Under is 6-2 in Patriots last 8 games as an underdog.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Oklahoma City Thunder took a 152-79 beating by Memphis on Thursday, the biggest loss in NBA history. I expect the Thunder to tighten up defensively for this matchup with the Pistons, and poor shooting has been an issue for both teams all season. OKC is averaging 98.1 ppg (30th) while Detroit is averaging only 98.9 points per game (29th). 

Under is 23-9 in Thunder last 32 road games. Under is 5-1 in Pistons last 6 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

MONDAY NIGHT CBB BANKROLL BUILDER

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are 4-1 to the under on the season. They are holding opponents to a solid 66.3 points per game on the season which has dropped to 60 ppg over their last two outings. Mercer is coming off an 83-77 win over Georgia State, but this game is likely to be played at a much slower pace. 

8* play on UNDER. 

SUNDAY NIGHT NFL SHOWDOWN - BRONCOS @ CHIEFS MONEYMAKER

As an elite team, the Kansas City Chiefs are often asked to cover big spreads, but they rarely have success in doing so. The Chiefs are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Here they'll face a well-rested Denver team coming off its bye week and the Broncos have been playing well lately, winning three of their last four games, two of those as underdogs. 

10* play on Denver Broncos. 

LATE-NIGHT OHIO STATE @ PENN STATE CBB TOTAL

The Penn State Nittany Lions are 6-1 to the under on the season. They're holding opponents to 64.1 points per game, and I think they can slow down this Ohio State team led by a familiar face in Jamari Wheeler, a graduate transfer guard who played the previous four seasons at Penn State. 

Under is 4-1 in Nittany Lions last 5 Sunday games. Under is 5-2 in Buckeyes last 7 Sunday games. Under is 4-1 in Nittany Lions last 5 home games.

8* play on UNDER. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S RAVENS @ STEELERS BEST BET

The Baltimore Ravens are coming off back-to-back wins SU and ATS, but I think they're asked to cover too many points here in this matchup with AFC North rivals Pittsburgh. 

The Steelers are a fantastic 17-4-2 ATS in their last 23 games as a home underdog, and I expect them to show up here after getting humiliated at Cincinnati last week. The Ravens have struggled with consistency, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win.

In addition to Pittsburgh covering the spread, I think this will be a low-scoring affair. Under is 5-1 in Ravens last 6 games as a road favorite. Under is 7-3 in Steelers last 10 games as a home underdog.

8* play on UNDER. 

WASHINGTON @ RAIDERS SIDE

Sure, the Las Vegas Raiders will have a decent rest advantage as they last played on Thanksgiving while Washington played Monday night at home against Seattle, but I think the Football Team have a good chance of stealing this game. The Raiders snapped a three-game skid with an upset win at Dallas last time out, but they are 9-20 ATS in their last 29 games following a straight up win. 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Washington is playing its best football of the season, coming into this game riding a three-game winning streak. 

8* play on Washington Football Team. 

CHARGER @ BENGALS SIDE

This looks like a good spot to fade Cincinnati. The Bengals put a 41-10 beating on Pittsburgh last week, but they are only 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. The Chargers are 35-16-4 ATS in their last 55 games as a road underdog, and I expect a big outing from the visitors here after coming out flat at Denver last week. 

8* play on Los Angeles Chargers.

CFB GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S MICHIGAN/IOWA BIG TEN MAJOR WAGER

The Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Michigan Wolverines in the Big Ten Championship game, and I think we're getting terrific value on the underdog in this matchup. 

Both teams are elite on the defensive side of the ball, and while the stats say that Michigan has an edge offensively, I don't think it's THIS big of a difference. Additionally, the Wolverines might be feeling a bit too good about themselves following last week's 42-27 upset win at home over Ohio State. 

Michigan was constantly underestimated by the oddsmakers during the regular season, but I think the script has flipped for the Big Ten Championship Game.  

Wolverines are 2-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Wolverines are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games as a favorite. Hawkeyes are 5-2-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Hawkeyes are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog.

10* play on Iowa Hawkeyes. 

HOUSTON/CINCINNATI SIDE

I like the underdog No. 21 Houston here in the American Athletic Conference championship game on Saturday. No. 4 Cincinnati is an undefeated 12-0 on the season while Houston has one loss, but note that the Cougars have won 11 straight since a 38-21 loss to Texas Tech in íts season opener. The stats are very similar for both teams on both sides of the ball, and I don't think the Cougars are getting enough respect here. 

In addition to Houston covering the spread, I also like the over as both quarterbacks are capable of coming up with big plays. Over is 11-3-1 in Cougars last 15 games as a road underdog. 

8* play on Houston Cougars.

GEORGIA/BAMA SIDE

The Georgia Bulldogs will be looking to defend their No. 1 ranking with a win here in the Southeastern Conference championship game against Alabama on Saturday. The No. 3 Crimson Tide have one loss on the season, and it could easily have been a couple more. It was only last week they were in big, big trouble against Auburn, while Georgia shut out Georgia Tech in its last game. I expect Georgia to get the job done in a relatively high-scoring affair. 

Over is 7-1-1 in the last 9 meetings. Bulldogs are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 neutral site games as a favorite.

EARLY NUGGETS @ KNICKS NBA MONEYMAKER

This looks like a very tough spot for the shorthanded Nuggets as they are asked to play an early game on the east coast. The Knicks should be hungry for a win following a couple of close losses.

LATE-NIGHT CLIPPERS @ LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY

The Los Angeles Clippers have been beaten badly in three straight games, but I expect them to show up here for this rivalry game against the Lakers. The Clippers have covered the spread in seven straight head-to-head matchups, and the Lakers have consistently been overvalued by the betting market this year going only 8-15 against the spread. 

10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* CBB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Niagara Purple Eagles are 5-1 to the under on the season. The Monmouth-NJ Hawks are averaging 75.7 points per game, but they scored only 61 in an upset win at Cincinnati in their last game. Defensively, the Hawks have looked good in their last two games and under is 5-2 in their last 7 road games.

10* play on UNDER. 

MIKE'S LATE-NIGHT PAC-12 CBB BOOKIE BREAKER BAILOUT

The Oregon State Beavers are 1-6 SU and ATS on the season. The Beavers have lost three games outright as favorites, and tonight they'll face a Cal team that has been undervalued by the bookmakers all season and has covered the spread in five of its last six games. 

Neither team has looked all that great when on the ball, but note that Cal is averaging 70.5 points per game at home while Oregon State has averaged only 54.0 points per game away from home. 

10* play on California Golden Bears. 

LATE NIGHT KINGS @ CLIPPERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

We should see a pumped up Clippers team here as they'll be looking to bounce back from a couple of home losses. The most recent one was particularly disappointing as they lost 123-104 as a 7-point favorite against New Orleans. The Clippers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a double-digit loss at home, and the Kings are in a tough spot, playing on no rest after losing to a shorthanded Lakers team Tuesday night. 

8* play on Los Angeles Clippers. 

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED MAJOR MONEYMAKER

The Houston Rockets are coming off three straight wins, including a 102-89 triumph against this very same OKC team a couple of days ago. All those three wins came at home though, and now the Rockets go on the road where they are 0-11 SU on the season. 

The Rockets are 0-2 ATS away from home when getting spotted less than double-digits, and the Thunder are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. Note that while the Thunder have dropped six consecutive games and eight of their last nine, they've covered the spread in six of their last seven.

OKC won 101-89 when they hosted the Rockets on November 17, and I expect them to avenge the most recent loss with a big outing tonight. 

10* play on Oklahoma City Thunder. 

MAVS @ PELS SIDE

The Dallas Mavericks won the first meeting of the season 108-92 on November 8. I expect them to snap back from back-to-back home losses while New Orleans is in a potential flat spot after closing a three-game road trip with a 19-point win at LA Clippers. Mavericks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Mavericks are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

8* play on Dallas Mavericks. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT COLLEGE BASKETBALL BANKROLL BUILDER

The Marshall Thundering Herd are averaging 82.2 points per game (36th) and they are 4-1 to the over on the season. The Akron Zips are 3-1 to the under, mostly due to allowing only 55.2 points per game (9th), but we can note that that the over is 5-0 in Zips last 5 games as a home underdog and 4-1 in Thundering Herd's last 5 games as a road favorite.

Marshall has struggled on the defensive end. The team has given up 79 and 90 points through its last two games, and I expect this to fly over the total. 

8* play on OVER. 

COLLEGE BASKETBALL TOTAL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Holy Cross Crusaders are 4-1 to the under on the season, and they are averaging only 69.4 points per game. The Central Conn.

8* play on UNDER. 

LATE-NIGHT WARRIORS @ SUNS BEST OF THE WEST SHOWDOWN

This matchup will feature the top-two teams in the West. While both teams can score, they're also very resilient on the defensive end, and I think this will be a playoff-like low-scoring affair. The Warriors are scoring more than four points fewer on the road than their overall season average, and under is 6-0 in Warriors last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 

Under is 10-4 in Warriors' games with a total of 219 or higher. Under is 7-4-1 in Suns' games with a total of 219 or higher, Under is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings.

8* play on UNDER.

Brooklyn is also both scoring fewer and allowing fewer at home than its overall average. Under is 10-4-1 in Nets last 15 home games. Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

CBB GOPHERS VS PANTHERS SIDE

The Pittsburgh Panthers are only 2-4 SU and against the spread on the season, and they suffered all four of their four defeats by double figures. The Panthers have struggled immensely to get buckets, averaging only 62.2 points per game (325th). Minnesota has held opponents to 59.6 points per game (43rd) and it has held each of its last two opponents to less than 50 points.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY (SIDE)

The Portland Trail Blazers have lost nine of 10 road games straight up and they are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. The Jazz are 5-1 ATS as a favorite of fewer than eight points this season. In their last game, the Jazz put a 127-105 beating on New Orleans, they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.

Portland is one of the worst teams in the league on the defensive end, and I don't see them keeping this one close. 

10* play on Utah Jazz. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Washington Wizards are 13-7 to the under on the season, but two of their last three games have gone over the total.

Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

10* play on OVER. 

CAVS @ MAVS SIDE

The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming off a blowout win against Orlando. They are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following a ATS win, and I think they're getting too many points to pass up when visiting Dallas Monday night. The Cavs are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog, and Dallas has a tendency to disappoint as a favorite, especially at home where the Mavs are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 outings. 

8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. 

MONDAY NIGHT CBB TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER

The Vanderbilt Commodores have seen each of their last three games go under the total, but I think we'll see a relatively high-scoring affair when hosting the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils Monday night. Vanderbilt has been holding opponents to 59.0 points per game, but those matchups have been against fairly evenly matched opponents. They were a 25.5-point favorite against Alabama State in their season opener, a game that saw a total of 163 points scored. I think Vanderbilt will relax on defense as they know they'll still win this one comfortably. 

Over is 6-2 in Commodores last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Over is 10-4 in Commodores last 14 home games. Over is 4-1 in Delta Devils last 5 games as a road underdog.

8* play on OVER. 

SUNDAY NIGHT CBB TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER

The Villanova Wildcats are 4-1 to the over while averaging a healthy 82.6 points per game, but I think the oddsmakers are giving us too high of a total here for Sunday's matchup with La Salle. I think the No. 7-ranked Wildcats will take this opportunity to focus on defense, especially following a sloppy performance in a loss at Purdue last time out. La Salle meanwhile will be looking to build on a solid defensive outing against Army in its last game, where it held the Black Knights to 58 points on 19-of-69 (31%) shooting. 

8* play on UNDER. 

BUCKS @ PACERS SIDE

The reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks are rolling, coming into this contest on a six-game winning streak and covering the spread in three straight games. They are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Pacers, who while they've also been playing well lately, are unlikely to keep this one within the number. 

8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. 

NFL GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT - MIKE'S TOP-RATED NFC SIDE

The Los Angeles Rams have had an extra week to heal up and regroup from back-to-back blowout losses. In their last game, the Rams took a 31-10 loss at San Francisco. They are 7-1-2 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game and 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss.

Packers' star QB Aaron Rodgers is reportedly in 'a lot of pain' after suffering a toe injury in last Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. "It's going to be another painful week next week," Rodgers said. "And then hopefully feel better over the bye." Here Rodgers will face a Rams defense that ranks third in the NFL with 2.9 sacks per game.

Edit: Aaron Rodgers did not practice Friday, making him a nonparticipant all week. I think the Rams' defense will make it extremely difficult for Packers to move the ball.

WARRIORS @ CLIPPERS TOTAL

The Golden State Warriors are 17-2 SU and 14-4-1 against the spread on the season. They have the best scoring defense in the league with only 100.9 points allowed per game on average, and the Clippers are averaging only 106.0 points per game. The Clippers have lost three of their last five straight up, despite closing as favorites in each game. In their last game, the Clippers defeated Detroit 107-96 but they are only 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

NFL GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* WEEK 12 TOTAL

The Pats defense has been excellent in recent weeks, with 6, 7, and 0 points allowed through their last three games. They now own the best scoring defense in the NFL with only 16.1 points allowed per game. 

Under is 5-1 in Patriots last 6 games in November, and here they'll host a dinged up Tennessee team that will be without its biggest threat in injured running back Derrick Henry. The Titans are averaging only 253.3 passing yards per game and they put up only 13 points in a home loss to Houston last week.

10* play on UNDER. 

SUPER EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON NFL BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL 

The Carolina Panthers have the No. 2 scoring defense in the NFL and they rank No. 1 against the pass. Miami ranks 31st in the league with only 77.4 rushing yards per game, so I doubt the home team will put up many points in this one. As for the Dolphins' defense, it has been playing well over the last three weeks, allowing only 9, 10, and 17 points. 

Under is 7-1 in the Panthers' last 8 games as a road favorite. Under is 5-2 in the Dolphins' last 7 games as a home underdog.

8* play on UNDER. 

BUCS @ COLTS SIDE

Good spot to fade the Indianapolis Colts who are likely to come out flat here following three straight wins a 41-15 upset at Buffalo last week included. The Colts are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog, and they'll host a Bucs team that is looking to build momentum after snapping a two-game losing streak with a dominant win against the Jets last time out. 

8* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

STEELERS @ BENGALS SIDE

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 15-6-2 against the spread as underdogs in divisional games under Mike Tomlin. The Cincinnati Bengals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite and in a potential flat spot after defeating the Raiders in Las Vegas by 19 points last week. 

8* play on Pittsburgh Steelers. 

TITANS @ PATRIOTS SIDE

The Pats defense has been excellent in recent weeks, with 6, 7, and 0 points allowed through their last three games. They now own the best scoring defense in the NFL with only 16.1 points allowed per game. 

Under is 5-1 in Patriots last 6 games in November, and here they'll host a dinged up Tennessee team that will be without its biggest threat in injured running back Derrick Henry. The Titans are averaging only 253.3 passing yards per game and they put up only 13 points in a home loss to Houston last week.

I do however think that the Titans can keep it close as the Pats offense could come out flat following three straight blowout wins. Road favorites of more than a field goal are only 5-10 ATS as following three straight wins by at least 15 points dating back to the start of the 2015 season.

TOP-RATED 10* LATE-NIGHT PELICANS @ JAZZ BOOKIE BREAKER

The Utah Jazz should be highly motivated after taking a 98-97 home loss to this very same Pelicans team only yesterday. The Pelicans are still only 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog, and they're not nearly as deep as the Jazz who I really expect will dominate this game from start to finish.

NCAAF GAME OF THE WEEK  - TOP-RATED 10* SATURDAY NIGHT *BEST BET*

Stanford took a 41-11 home loss as a 2.5-point underdog to California last week. Now they'll face a 10-1 SU (8-3 ATS) Notre Dame team that is dominant on both sides of the ball and just put a 55-0 beating on Georgia tech last time out. The No. 6 Fighting Irish have covered the spread in six straight games, and I don't see them slowing down here as they're aiming for the College Football Playoff.

10* play on Notre Dame Fighting Irish. 

HORNETS @ ROCKETS SATURDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BOMBER

Great spot to fade the Houston Rockets who have won only two games all season, one of them on in their last game on Nov 24 when they defeated Chicago. The Hornets are playing well at the moment, having won eight of their last nine straight up and they have covered the spread in seven of those nine games. Hornets are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite, and I think they'll get this one despite playing on no rest after defeating Minnesota Friday night. 

8* play on Charlotte Hornets. 

VIRGINIA TECH @ VIRGINIA NCAAF BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Virginia Cavaliers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite and the home team is 7-1 ATS in their last eight head-to-head matchups with Virginia Tech. I think they'll show up here in the regular-season finale, after losing three in a row straight up (all as underdogs though). The Hokies, led by interim coach J.C. Price, took a 38-26 loss as a 7-point underdog at Miami-Florida last week, and they have covered the spread in only two of their last nine games. 

8* play on Virginia Cavaliers. 

PENN STATE @ MICHIGAN STATE NCAAF BOOKIE BREAKER

The Michigan State Spartans took a 56-7 beating by the Buckeyes in their last game. They can now only dream of a College Football Playoff berth and a Big Ten championship, and I think they'll struggle to find motivation for the regular season finale. The Penn State Nittany Lions on the other hand are coming off a dominant 28-0 triumph over Rutgers. They are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Spartans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog.

8* play on Penn State Nittany Lions. 

MIKE'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL CONTRARIAN CRU$HER

The Florida International Panthers are only 1-10 straight up and 3-8 against the spread, but the Southern Miss Golden Eagles are just barely better with a 2-9 straight up record and an identical 3-8 record ATS. 

Southern Miss is coming off a 35-19 upset win as a 15.5-point underdog at Louisiana Tech, but I think we'll see the Panthers stepping up here in the last game of the season after getting outscored by 40+ in two straight games. Additionally, the Golden Eagles have big injury concerns at quarterback; star running back Frank Gore Jr. was forced to step in at QB in the last game.

8* play on Florida International. 

SUPER EARLY NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER

The Tenn-Martin Skyhawks are coming off a 103-43 triumph over subdivision Carver Bible College, but there is a massive step up in competition for today when they'll take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. 

Western Kentucky played a fairly tough schedule through its first four games, but it beat Alabama A&M by 26 points as an 18-point favorite last time out. I expect the Hilltoppers to steamroll the Skyhawks. 

Skyhawks are 6-21 ATS in their last 27 road games  vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Hilltoppers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

8* play on Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* PREMIER LEAGUE GAME OF THE MONTH

Norwich have recorded back-to-back wins, defeating Brentford and Southampton, but they're still second from the bottom in the table, and this looks like a very difficult matchup against a Wolves team that is sitting in sixth place, just one place outside of European qualification. Wolves are on an impressive run with just one defeat in their last seven EPL games (W5, D1). 

10* play on Wolverhampton. 

5* play on OVER.

BUCKS @ NUGGETS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Milwaukee Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite and I think they'll be able to take advantage of a shorthanded Denver team. 

Denver's injury list: 

Hyland PG Doub Fri - Ankle

Jokic C Ques Fri - Wrist

Dozier SG out for season - Knee

Porter Jr. PF Out indefinitely - Back

Cancar SF Out indefinitely - Hip

Murray SG Out indefinitely - Knee

The Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. 

CELTICS @ SPURS SIDE

The Boston Celtics are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road favorite while the San Antonio Spurs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. The Celtics took a 123-104 beating by Brooklyn in their last game, but they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss.

8* play on Boston Celtics. 

WIZARDS @ THUNDER SIDE

The Oklahoma City Thunder have covered the spread in 12 of their 18 games on the season, but I think they're in for a tough one here against Washington Friday night. The Wizards are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games as a favorite and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 Friday games. They'll be looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses as favorites. 

8* play on Washington Wizards. 

BULLS @ MAGIC SIDE

The Chicago Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. They're coming off back-to-back losses, including a humiliating loss as a 9.5-point favorite at Houston in their last game. The Magic have lost four straight games and they are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 home games.

8* play on Chicago Bulls.

SUNS @ KNICKS SIDE

The red hot Phoenix Suns have won 14 in a row. The New York Knicks are coming off a 106-100 triumph over the Lakers, but they have alternated losses and wins in their last six games. Knicks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Suns are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 Friday games.

8* play on Phoenix Suns. 

SUPER EARLY KANSAS STATE @ TEXAS NCAAF BOOKIE BU$TER - 12:00 PM ET START

I expect a big outing from the Texas Longhorns here as they look to avoid a seventh straight defeat. The Kansas State Wildcats saw their four-game winning streak come to an end with a 20-10 loss to Baylor last time out, and they might be tough to recharge for this game. The home team is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

8* play on Texas Longhorns. 

MIKE'S BILLS @ SAINTS THANKSGIVING EVE *BEST BET*

The Saint are unlikely to have much success moving the ball with Trevor Siemian at QB and running back Alvin Kamara at best dinged up, and most likely not even playing. The Bills have not been at their best lately, but they had allowed only 37 points over their last three games before giving up 41 to Indianapolis last time out. New Orleans' defense has given up 27, 27, 23, and 40 points through its last four games, but the Bills' offense has been inconsistent. 

Under is 5-1-1 in Bills last 7 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Under is 8-0-1 in Saints last 9 Thursday games.

10* play on UNDER. 

BILLS @ SAINTS SIDE

Under is 5-1-1 in Bills last 7 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Under is 8-0-1 in Saints last 9 Thursday games.

In addition to the under, I also like the Saints to cover the spread. Taking the points become all the more attractive in low-scoring games, and note that New Orleans head coach Sean Payton is 11-2 ATS as a home dog with the Saints. 

8* play on New Orleans Saints. 

EARLY BEARS @ LIONS THANKSGIVING BOOKIE BREAKER

The Bears defeated Detroit 24-14 home in Chicago back in October, and they are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings. Bears' running back David Montgomery had 106 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the last meeting, and that was no fluke as Detroit is allowing 140.5 rushing yards per game (31st). The Bears defense is decent, while Detroit has a lack of talent at pretty much every position. Lastly, Chicago head coach Matt Nagy is in the hot seat and in desperate need of a win, and I think he'll have the players fired up here. 

8* play on Chicago Bears. 

SUPER EARLY UCONN VS MICHIGAN STATE NCAAB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Connecticut Huskies are undefeated on the season and they are averaging 96.6 points per game, the second-best mark in the nation. The Huskies are making 43.6 percent of their shots from behind the arc, while Michigan State is shooting only 30.9 percent from three-point range. 

Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games as a favorite. Spartans are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 neutral site games as an underdog.

10* play on UConn Huskies. 

TOP-RATED 10* BLAZERS @ KINGS NBA BAILOUT

The Kings are reeling, coming into this game on a four-game losing streak and they have covered the spread in only one of their last nine games. The Blazers on the other hand have heated up lately and they are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. Sure, the Blazers bring a 1-7 away record into this matchup, but note that they are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings in Sacramento.

10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. 

HAWKS @ SPURS SIDE

The Spurs are averaging 117.0 points per game home at AT&T Center, but also allowing 115.3 points per game. They're coming into this game on a slide, having lost five in a row straight up and they had failed to cover the spread in four straight prior to just barely covering the number in a loss to Phoenix last time out. The Hawks routed the Thunder last time out. They are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.

Over is 9-4 in Hawks last 13 games as a road favorite. Over is 7-1 in Spurs last 8 games as a home underdog.

8* play on Atlanta Hawks. 

HAWKS @ SPURS TOTAL

The Spurs are averaging 117.0 points per game home at AT&T Center, but also allowing 115.3 points per game.

NHL GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT - MIKE'S EASTERN CONF *BEST BET*

I like the Rangers to take care of business against their long-time rival Wednesday night. The Islanders have yet to win a game home at UBS Arena on only two attempts, but still ... The Isles suffered a sixth straight regulation defeat with a 3-0 loss to the Leafs last time out, and they're severely shorthanded due to injuries and COVID-19 protocols. 

The Rangers on the other hand are healthy, and they're off to a hot start to the year. They've won five of their last six games.

10* play on New York Rangers. 

MIKE'S CBB MAUI INVITATIONAL FINAL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Wisconsin Badgers defeated 12th-ranked Houston 65-63 in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational at Las Vegas. I think they'll take down the up until now undefeated St. Mary's here in the final. The Badgers is one of the stingiest teams in the nation on the defensive end of the court, and the players must feel real confident after getting past the Cougars. 

8* play on Wisconsin. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Detroit Pistons have one of the worst records in the league, and they are 3-9 ATS in conference games and 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games as an underdog (dating back to last season). Tonight the Pistons host a Miami team that has been a major positive surprise, and while this is a big number to cover, note that The Heat are 5-1 ATS as favorites of six or more points this season. They've been asked to cover nine or more twice, and covered both times. 

10* play on Miami Heat. 

MIKE'S TUESDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Philadelphia Flyers took a 5-2 loss to Boston in their last game to fall to 1-4 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. The Lightning are a solid 10-4-2-1 on the season and they've won four of their last five games. Flyers are 3-12 in the last 15 meetings in Tampa Bay.

8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAME OF THE MONTH

Barcelona has won back-to-back Champions League game after dropping the first two rounds of the group stage. Benfica is trending in the opposite direction, with back-to-back UCL losses and nine goals conceded in those two games. This is a revenge game for Barca after losing 3-0 at Benfica earlier this year.

10* play on Barcelona. 

PACERS @ BULLS TOTAL

The Chicago Bulls are allowing only 102.0 points per game home at United Center and under is 10-4 in Bulls last 14 games as a home favorite. The Pacers are averaging only 100.5 points per game as underdogs and the under is 5-0 in Pacers' last 5 games as an underdog.

8* play on UNDER. 

THUNDERS @ HAWKS TOTAL

The Oklahoma City Thunder are 12-4 to the under on the seas, and they are averaging only 98.6 points per game, which drops to 95.3 ppg on the road. The Hawks are allowing only 104.1 ppg home at State Farm Arena. Under is 4-1 in Hawks last 5 home games and 14-6 in Hawks last 20 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Under is 65-28-1 in Thunder last 94 games as a road underdog.

8* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* HORNETS @ WIZARDS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

Each of the last four head-to-head meetings has gone under the total, a 97-87 Hornets win at Charlotte last week included. 

I think the oddsmakers have set the total too high once again when the teams clash in Washington Monday night. The Wizards are a slow-paced team, entering this contest with the third-lowest pace factor (the number of possessions a team uses per game) in the NBA, and the under is 8-1 in Wizards' last 9 overall. 

Charlotte is playing at a faster pace, but note that the under is 14-6 in Hornets' last 20 games as a road underdog.

10* play on UNDER. 

SUPER EARLY TOLEDO VS CHARLOTTE BOOKIE BU$TER

The Charlotte 49ers are an undefeated 3-0 on the season, including an outright win as a 2-point underdog at Appalachian State last time out. Toledo took an 80-59 beating at Oakland as a 2-point dog in its last game, and I think the Rockets are in for an another tough game here in the opening game of the Nassau Championship Tourney. Toledo has struggled to get easy buckets, and Charlotte has been solid on the defensive end. 

8* play on Charlotte. 

NFL MAJOR WAGER ALERT - TOP-RATED 10* NFC GAME OF THE MONTH

Great spot to back the Seahawks after coming out completely flat in a shutout loss at Green Bay last week. The Seahawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 14 points and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games as an underdog.

The Cardinals are not the same team without injured star QB Kyler Murray, and while he returned to practice Wednesday, I don't think the Cards will risk him here with their bye on deck. 

10* play on Seattle Seahawks. 

CHARGERS @ CHIEFS SIDE

The Kansas City Chiefs tend to disappoint as favorites, but I like them laying less than a field goal when hosting Dallas here in Week 11. The Chiefs have picked up pace again, having won four of their last five games and they put up 41 points on the road at Las Vegas last week. 

The Cowboys have also been playing well and they put a 43-3 beating on the Falcons last week, but they're coming into Kansas City with a dinged up defense and I think KC will be able to take capitalize. Additionally, note that Dallas is 8-1 against the spread on the season and due for ATS regression. 

8* play on Kansas City Chiefs. 

PACKERS @ VIKINGS SIDE

The Green Bay Packers are 8-1 SU and 9-1 ATS on the season, but I think they're in for a tough one here at NFC North rivals Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. The underdog is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings, and the Vikes are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog. Green Bay is sitting pretty at the top of the division, and it has played a really tough schedule lately, facing Arizona (a), Kansas City (a) and Seattle in its last three games. I don't think the Packers can match the Vikes intensity and desperation in this one.  

8* play on Minnesota Vikings. 

SUPER LATE ARIZONA STATE VS OREGON STATE TOTAL BAILOUT - 10:30 PM ET START

The Oregon State Beavers have found their offense, scoring 34+ points in three of their last four games and they've put up 475 yards of total offense in each of the last two. The Arizona State Sun Devils are coming off a 35-30 triumph at Washington. 

The Sun Devils won the season finale 46-33 last year, the over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings overall and 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Oregon State. Over is 11-2 in Sun Devils last 13 games as a road favorite. Over is 5-1 in Beavers last 6 games as a home underdog.

8* play on OVER. 

TOP-RATED 10* SIXERS @ BLAZERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Philadelphia 76ers just avoided a six-game skid with a 103-89 win at Denver a couple of days ago. This will be the dinged up Sixers' fourth straight game on the road and I think there's a good chance they'll come out flat. The Blazers are playing well at the moment, and they've had two full days of rest since defeating the Bulls on Wednesday.  

76ers are 8-24-1 ATS in their last 33 games as a road underdog. Trail Blazers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite.

10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. 

JAZZ @ KINGS TOTAL

The Jazz are 10-5 to the under on the season and the Kings are 10-5-1 to the under. Under is 6-1 in Jazz last 7 games as a road favorite. Under is 7-1 in Kings last 8 home games.

8* play on UNDER. 

CFB GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT - MIKE'S 10* TOTAL BEST BET

The New Mexico Lobos rank dead last in the nation with only 13.6 points per game. The Lobos have found their ground game, averaging just under 190 rushing yards per game over their last three games, but they still struggle to get scores. While New Mexico might have some success moving the ball on the ground, they'll take a lot of time off the clock which will help the under. On the defensive side of the ball, the Lobos have been totally fine, ranking 44th against the pass and 45th against the run. 

Each of Boise State's last five games has gone under the total, and they have allowed an average of only 17.4 points per game during that stretch. 

10* play on UNDER. 

PELS @ PACERS TOTAL

The Pelicans are 12-4-1 to the under on the season and the Pacers are 11-6 to the under. The Pels will be playing on no rest after taking a 94-81 loss to the Clippers last night. Under is 7-1 in Pelicans last 8 games playing on 0 days rest. The Pacers will also be playing on no rest after taking a 121-118 loss at Charlotte last night. Under is 4-1 in Pacers last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 5-2 in Pacers last 7 games following a straight up loss.

8* play on UNDER. 

SATURDAY NIGHT NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER

The San Jose St. Spartans are a perfect 3-0 against the spread on the season, including covering the number as a 19-point dog at Stanford, but I don't think they'll be able to hang around with Texas. The Spartans are allowing opponents to shoot 50.0% from the field and 34.8% from behind the arc, and Texas has the talent to make them pay for such sloppy defending. 

8* play on Texas Longhorns. 

ILLINOIS @ IOWA SIDE

The No. 17 Iowa Hawkeyes defeated Minnesota 27-22 last week despite putting up only 277 yards of total offense and getting outgained by 132 yards. 

Illinois is coming off its bye and recorded an upset win at Minnesota where it won 14-6 as a 14.5-point underdog last time out. Illinois won in OT as a 24.5-point underdog at a then ranked Penn State team in its previous away game, and the team is 3-1 ATS on the road this season. 

The Fighting Illini average 176.8 rushing yards per game (55th), and even though Iowa is one of the better teams in the nation at stopping the run, I think Illinois will have decent success while also taking a lot of time off the clock. 

With a low total, the points become all the more valuable, and we can note that Illinois has allowed only 17.6 points per game vs. Big Ten opponents this season.

8* play on Illinois Fighting Illini. 

SUPER EARLY 12 PM ET TOP-RATED 10* CFB GAME OF THE WEEK (SIDE)

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights won 38-3 at Indiana as a 6.5-point underdog last week. While winning this one might be a reach, I like Rutgers to at least keep it within the number. Penn State is coming off a tough matchup with Michigan (21-17 loss), and four losses in their last five games have seen the Nittany Lions drop out of the Top 25. Rutgers is allowing only 218 passing yards per game (49th), and I think they'll hang around. 

Scarlet Knights are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. Scarlet Knights are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games in November. Nittany Lions are 5-19-2 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up loss.

10* play on Rutgers Scarlet Knights. 

THUNDER @ BUCKS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Oklahoma City Thunder are a combined 22-7 to the under on the season. The Thunder have been held to 96, 90 and 101 points through their last three games. Under is 16-5-1 in Bucks last 22 games as a home favorite. Under is 7-1 in Thunder last 8 games as an underdog. Under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings.

8* play on UNDER. 

CLIPPERS @ PELICANS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY (SIDE)

The Los Angeles Clippers will be playing on no rest after taking a 120-108 loss to Memphis Thursday night. They are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest, and I don't think they'll have too much trouble against a New Orleans team that has won only two of 16 games on the season. The Pelicans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog.

10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. 

NBA MAJOR WAGER ALERT - TOP-RATED 10* TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Golden State Warriors will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back set after winning 104-89 at Cleveland last night. They are 10-4 to the under in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest and under is 13-3 in Warriors last 16 games as a road favorite. The Detroit Pistons are averaging only 92.2 points per game. They are 24-15 to the under when their opponent plays on 0 rest, dating back to the start of last season, and under is 9-2-1 in Pistons last 12 games as a home underdog.

10* play on UNDER. 

FRIDAY AFTERNOON COLLEGE BASKETBALL HARDWOOD HAMMER

The Creighton Bluejays are an undefeated 3-0 SU on the season but only 1-2 ATS. I think they're in for a tough one here against Brown in the first round of the Paradise Jam. The Bears have won three of four games on the season, and the loss is nothing to be ashamed of, losing by only seven as a 24.5-point underdog at North Carolina. I think they'll feel confident they can keep this close while this Creighton team can have a tendency of looking past weaker opponents, going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.

8* play on Brown Bears. 

ST. BONAVENTURE VS CLEMSON NCAAB BOOKIE BU$TER

Two undefeated teams will clash here in the semifinal of the Shriners Children's Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C. with the 4-0 Clemson Tigers taking on the 3-0 St. Bonaventure Bonnies. While the Bonnies had to come from behind to defeat Boise State in the opening round, Clemson made light work of Temple. I think Clemson will have the fresher legs, and we can note that the Tigers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games as an underdog.

8* play Clemson. 

PATRIOTS @ FALCONS THURSDAY NIGHT BOOKIE BREAKER

I think this line has gotten way out of hand. 

Sure, the Patriots have been red hot, winning five of their last six games, but this looks like a potential flat spot coming off a 45-7 rout of Cleveland last week. 

Atlanta on the other hand is underrated (IMO) as all the market seems to remember is the Falcons' 43-3 loss at Dallas last week. The Falcons had won three of their last four prior to that, and we should see a reaction after getting humiliated last week while the Pats are at risk at underestimating their opponent in this one. 

8* play on Atlanta Falcons. 

 SPURS @ WOLVES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

I think we'll ee a reaction from the Spurs after getting beaten quite badly in three straight games. In their last game, the Spurs took a 106-92 loss to the Clippers in LA, but they are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, which they are facing here with the Wolves only 3-6 SU at home. 

Minnesota defeated Sacramento by 10 points in their last game, but they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

10* play on San Antonio Spurs.
