NHL 3-PACK OILERS OVER

Interesting situation as the Nucks and the Oilers will clash on back-to-back nights. They combined for eigth goals last night, and that was with Holtby and Koskinen in net. We might see the backups between the pipes for this one, and I expect another high-scoring affair. In addition to the over, I also like Edmonton to avenge last night's 5-3 loss. 

8* play on OVER. 

NBA 3-PACK - HORNETS

Underdogs playing on no rest have been undervalued against the spread all season, hitting 61.1%. Additionally, the Hornets are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games as an underdog while the Raptors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.

8* play on Charlotte Hornets. 

NBA 3-PACK - ROCKETS @ SPURS 

The Houston Rockets will have a new look after trading James Harden to the Nets. That and the fact that they have lost four of their last five SU and ATS in combination with the Spurs winning four of their last five is giving us good value on Houston in this one. 

8* play on Houston Rockets. 

PURDUE @ INDIANA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BLA$TER

Both Purdue and Indiana are checking in at 8-5 SU, but the Hoosiers have a superior 9-4 record ATS (Boilermakers are 4-7-2 ATS). Home advantage should also be a factor as Indiana is 4-1 at home while Purdue is 1-4 on the road. 

Boilermakers are 5-12-3 ATS in their last 20 road games and 3-8-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog. Hoosiers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite.

8* play on Indiana. 

WASHINGTON STATE @ UCLA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BOMBER

Two 9-2 teams will clash at Pauley Pavilion on Thursday. UCLA is the only remaining undefeated team in Pac-12 play, but I think the Bruins are asked to cover too many points in this one.

The Cougars look primed to bounce back from a flat 15-point loss at Stanford a week ago while seven days off to possibly break the momentum probably was not what the hot UCLA wanted as it is riding a four-game winning streak. 

Underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Cougars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.

*BAILOUT PLAY* PELICANS @ CLIPPERS 10* TOP PLAY

Good spot to fade the Clippers who shot a red hot 53% from behind the arc in a win over Chicago last time out. Such a hot performance is often followed by a cold one, and they'll face a Pelicans team that is undervalued by the oddsmakers and due for a big game after losing three straight SU and ATS. 

The Clippers is one of the best teams in the league, but they have not been blowout teams out lately. Their last three wins have come by six, seven and three points, and I like the Pels to keep this close. 

10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. 

NHL 3-PACK - NUCKS @ OILERS

The Canucks are 2-6 in the last eight meetings in Edmonton, and I think their struggles continue against a more talented Oilers side. The Oilers a lot of offensive firepower while the Nucks lack depth on the forward side. 

8* play on Edmonton Oilers. 

NHL 3-PACK - HABS @ LEAFS

The Habs look stronger than last season, but so does Toronto as well after adding Joe Thornton, Zach Bogosian, Wayne Simmonds, T.J. Brodie, Jimmy Vesey, Alexander Barabanov and Mikko Lehtonen. Their experience in combination with the already existing talent in this Leafs team will be interesting to watch. Home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings

8* play on Toronto Maple Leafs. 

PENGUINS @ FLYERS 8* NHL OPENING NIGHT BOOKIE BREAKER

The Penguins have an old core of players. While experience is important, I think they'll need a couple of games to get back in the tempo. The Flyers have a younger team and should come out with more energy. 

Flyers are 21-7 in their last 28 games as a home favorite. Flyers are 23-9 in their last 32 home games. Penguins are 1-4 in their last 5 games as a road underdog.

Home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

8* play on Philadelphia Flyers. 

Top-Rated 10* Pacers @ Warriors NBA Top Play Of The Day

Tough spot for the Pacers who should be gassed out after running up and down the court in a high-tempo 127-122 loss at Sacramento last night. 

The Warriors meanwhile have had a day of rest since defeating Toronto last time out. They have won back-to-back games and five of seven since opening the season 0-3. 

Pacers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest.

Several trends support an under in this game, and in this case, I think the trends are our friends.

CBB 3-PACK - TCU

The TCU Horned Frogs are only 5-8 ATS on the season, but I expect them to show up big time for this one after getting humiliated by Baylor last time out. Oklahoma has spent a lot of energy battling top teams in recent games, and I would not be surprised if they look past TCU. 

Horned Frogs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Sooners are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as a favorite.

8* play on TCU. 

TOP-RATED 10* WISCONSIN @ MICHIGAN BIG TEN PLAY OF THE DAY

The No. 7 Michigan Wolverines are an unbeaten 10-0 SU and a solid 8-2 ATS on the season, but I think they'll face a tough test from the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers in this one. 

The Badgers have already downed one Bit Ten opponent on the road when they defeated Michigan State by nine points on Christmas Day, and they have a defense that has held opponents to an average of 61.5 points on 38.9 percent shooting on the season.

The underdog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 head-to-head in this series, and this one is likely to go down to the wire.

10* play on Wisconsin. 

CBB 3-PACK - ST. JOHN'S

The Butler Bulldogs have dropped three of their last four. All losses came as underdogs, and I think they'll suffer another setback in this one. 

St. John's is getting no respect from the oddsmakers after covering the number in only one of their last seven games. They should be due for a big performance, and note that the home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 head-to-head in this series.

8* play on St. John's. 

TOP-RATED 10* MAN UTD @ BURNLEY PREMIER LEAGUE *MAJOR WAGER*

Manchester United is 11-5 to the over on the season. They have scored 33 goals but also conceded 24 goals in their 16 EPL games. Burnley is a low-scoring side, but I think Man U will force them to open up in this one. Note that Man U has a 21-11 goal differential (total average of 4.57 goals) through their seven away games.

The Sacramento Kings have given up 137, 124, 144 and 125 points for an average of 132.5 points allowed over the past four games, with three of those flying over the total. 

I think their defensive struggles set us up nicely for an under here as we get a bloated total against an Indiana team that ranks in the bottom 10 for pace (possessions a team uses per game). 

Seven of the last 10 head-to-head matchups, three of the last four, have gone under the total. 

8* play on UNDER. 

OHIO STATE VS ALABAMA CFP CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BEST OF THE BEST

The Alabama Crimson Tide limited Notre Dame to 14 points in their semi-finals matchup, but here they'll face a much more accomplished offense in Ohio State. 

The Buckeyes put up 49 points on Clemson, and QB Juston Fields completed 22-of-28 passes for 385 yards and six TDs against only one INT. Bama is an elite team, but it ranks only 76th in the nation against the pass. The Buckeyes are even worse at 103rd in the country, and they gave up 400 passing yards to Tigers' Trevor Lawrence in the win last week. I think we'll see both QBs air it out and drive up the score. 

This is a massive number, but the bookies just can't make it big enough IMO.

10* MAX BET on OVER. 

BRADLEY @ NORTHERN IOWA 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

The Northern Iowa Panthers are only 3-7 on the season, but all three wins were earned home at McLeod Center and they defeated Bradley 78-72 in the first game of this doubleheader yesterday. 

8* play on Northern Iowa. 

KNICKS @ HORNETS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

Since the beginning of last season, the Charlotte Hornets are 0-3 SU and ATS following three straight wins SU and ATS. I think they look like a good fade here against a New York Knicks side primed to bounce back from a pair of double-digit losses.

While the Knicks will be playíng on back-to-back nights, note that the Hornets just as the Knicks will be playing their third game in four nights. 

Knicks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Hornets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite.

8* play on New York Knicks.

TOP-RATED 10* COLORADO @ UTAH CBB PLAY OF THE DAY

The Utah Utes are not playing well at the moment, coming off three straight losses and they have failed to cover the spread in the last two. That includes a 79-73 home loss to Oregon on January 12, a Ducks team Colorado defeated by seven points two days earlier. The Buffaloes have had plenty of rest since, and I think they'll prove too much to handle for the Utes in this one. 

Buffaloes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. Utes are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog.

10* top play on Colorado. 

BROWNS @ STEELERS 8* NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL

These two teams clashed only a week ago, a must-win game for Cleveland who also ended up winning 24-22. The Steelers rested several starters, among them Ben Roethlisberger, center Maurkice Pouncey, linebacker T.J. Watt and defensive tackle Cam Heyward. They will be back for this contest. 

Cleveland is 9-7 to the over on the season, but I think this will be a relatively low-scoring affair. The Browns know they'll have to run the football as they're unlikely to have much success against the Steelers No. 3 pass defense, and I think both teams will chew a decent amount of clock during their drives. 

Both teams rank below league average for pace, and three of the last four head-to-head meetings have gone under the total. 

8* play on UNDER. 

NCAAB 3-PACK - WICHITA STATE

The Illinois Fighting Illini are riding high, coming off four straight wins while going 3-0-1 ATS. We find the Maryland Terrapins on the opposite end of the spectrum, coming off three straight losses SU and ATS. I think the Terps are getting too many points to pass on in this one though. Note that last time out, Maryland took an 89-67 beating by Iowa, and it is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points. The Fighting Illini are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

8* play on Maryland.

NCAAB 3-PACK - NEBRASKA

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will be looking to snap a four-game skid. While I don't think they will win this one outright, I do think they'll keep it within the number. Last time out, the Cornhuskers lost by seven as an 8-point dog to a ranked Michigan State team, and Indiana will be without its second-leading scorer Armaan Franklin (ankle injury). 

8* play on Nebraska

BEARS @ SAINTS 8* NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND BOOKIE BU$TER - 4:40 PM ET KICKOFF

New Orleans is clearly the superior football team in this matchup, but this is just too many points to give up in a playoff game. 

The Bears might look like they are stumbling into the playoffs after getting humiliated by Green Bay in the regular-season finale, but they had won three straight prior to that. Sure, they were beating up on mostly unmotivated teams (Houston, Minnesota, and Jacksonville), but so did the Saints as well as they closed out the reg season on a 2-0 run (against Minnesota and Carolina). 

These two teams clashed back in November, a game the Saints won 26-23 in overtime. We can also note that Chicago had Nick Foles at quarterback in that one, and they've looked much better of late with Mitch Trubisky back under center. 

Saints are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as a favorite, and I see this being a one-score game.

The Cincinnati Bearcats are 3-6 SU and only 2-7 against the number. They had lost five straight prior to an upset win at SMU last time out, and they are still only 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog (4-14 ATS in their last 18 games as a road underdog).

The Jazz are in the midst of a gruesome seven-game road trip, and even though they should win this game outright, covering the number could be a challenge. 

Jazz are 6-23-2 ATS in their last 31 games as a favorite and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win. Pistons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog.

The Titans won 30-24 in OT at Baltimore back in November, and their offense is coming into the postseason firing on all cylinders.

WILD CARD ROUND GAME OF THE YEAR ~ WAS @ TB 10* SIDE

First of all, Washington's offense is admittedly absolutely trash as they rank 30th in the NFL for total offense with 317 yards per game, but their defense is truly elite. 

Here they'll face a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that has had no trouble picking apart subpar defenses, but also struggled at times against tougher opponents. 

We can also note that Bucs veteran QB Tom Brady has been far from at his best in primetime games this season, and one of his weapons, star wideout Mike Evans, is questionable. 

The Buccaneers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as a favorite while the Football Team are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are struggling on both ends of the floor without injured big man Karl-Anthony Towns. They have dropped six in a row straight up (1-5 ATS), five by double-digit score-lines, and allowed 123 points or more in each of those six losses. 

The San Antonio Spurs are coming into this contest full of confidence, off upset wins over the Clippers and the Lakers in La-La Land.  

The Timberwolves are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs home at Target Center, and I like the Spurs to come out firing in this first game of a doubleheader. 

10* top play on San Antonio.

HAWKS @ HORNETS 8* NBA BOOKIE BA$HER

The Charlotte Hornets defeated Atlanta 102-94 on Wednesday, the Hawks third straight loss straight up and against the spread. While the Hawks have had time to rest since that game, that's not the case for the Hornets who will be playing on no rest after battling back from 18 points down to win 118-110 on Friday night at New Orleans. 

The Hawks are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games playing on two days rest. The rest advantage and the revenge spot makes this an easy play on Atlanta.

WILD CARD ROUND GAME OF THE YEAR ~ RAMS @ SEAHAWKS 10* TOTAL

This is a low number, but note that NFL games with a total lower than 45 points went 37-17 (68.5%) to the under this season. 

As for these two teams, the Rams are 12-4 to the under on the season and they rank No. 1 for scoring defense and passing yards allowed while Seattle's defense has quietly been one of the best in the league over the last month. Through their last four games, the Seahawks have allowed, 3, 15, 9 and 23 points.

In the two regular season meetings between these two teams we saw 39 and 29 points scored. I expect this to be another low-scoring affair, especially as Rams' QB Jared Goff won't be 100% if he even suits up at all.

I think the Indianapolis Colts are way undervalued in this matchup. Sure, they looked sluggish down the stretch, but I have no doubt they'll step up their game now when it really matters. The Bills have crushed everyone that stepped in front of them lately, skewing this line towards them even further. The Colts have a solid defense that ranks No. 2 in the league against the run, so if they can just slow down Buffalo QB Josh Allen they'll keep this one close. 

Buy up to 7 if you can, this pick will be graded at +6.5. 

8* play on Indianapolis Colts. 

TEXAS @ WEST VIRGINIA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BOMBER

I like the Utah Jazz to win and cover in a relatively low-scoring affair. 

Milwaukee is coming off a couple of blowout wins over Detroit, but the Jazz are a far tougher team to beat than the Pistons. 

Sure, Utah is coming off back-to-back losses as road favorites at Brooklyn and New York, but this team is at its best when catching points on the road (Jazz are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games as a road underdog). 

Milwaukee averages more points per game than any other team in the NBA, but I think regression is coming and Utah is not a team known for giving up easy buckets.

TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ PISTONS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Detroit Pistons are winless through their last three games and gave up 130 points to the Bucks last time out.

However, note that the under is 16-4 in Pistons' last 20 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game, and in this one, they'll face a Phoenix Suns team that owns the no. 1 scoring defense in the NBA, holding opponents to 102.4 ppg.

Last time out, Phoenix knocked down 21-of-40 three-point attempts in a 123-115 win over Toronto, far above its season average, and the Suns are still 6-2 to the under on the season and average only 98.7 possessions per game, dead last in the NBA.

The Purdue Boilermakers are 7-5 SU but only 3-7-2 ATS on the season. Admittedly, the 8-3 Michigan State Spartans have been even worse against the number, but I do like the Spartans to win and cover in this one. 

Michigan State will be looking to build on a 68-45 beatdown of Rutgers last time out. That same Rutgers team defeated Purdue by five points on December 29, and the Boilermakers are 0-4 SU and 0-3-1 ATS on the road on the season and only 2-8-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog.

Bayern Munich is sitting top of the table with 10 wins, 3 draws and only one loss. They own a 44-21 goal differential through their 14 games and I expect them to thump Borussia Monchengladbach in this one. 

Monchengladbach is coming off a pair of wins, but against far worse competition than Munich who put a 5-2 beating on Mainz last time out. 

The visitors, with stars like with Robert Lewandowski and Leroy Sane, simply have too much offensive firepower for Monchengladbach to keep up with.

The Arizona State Sun Devils are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games and lost by 13 as a 13-point home favorite against UTEP last time out. That was almost three weeks ago as Arizona State has two games on the road last week because of COVID-19 within its program, and they returned to practice Monday, its third practice since Dec. 21. 

That's just too long time off to do them any good, and I expect an up-to-speed UCLA team to run away with this one.

The Dallas Mavericks have won two of their last three games, but this looks like a potential flat spot after defeating in-state rival Houston Rockets on the road last time out. The Denver Nuggets are coming off a two-game sweep of Minnesota, but they failed to cover the spread in the last game. The Nuggets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss, and for this one, Michael Porter Jr. will be back in action after missing the last three games due to a seven-day Covid-19 quarantine. 

Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight-up win of more than 10 points. Mavericks are 8-22-2 ATS in their last 32 games following a straight-up win. Mavericks are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games.

The Washington State Cougars are 8-1 SU and 4-4-1 ATS on the season. Last time out they lost by only four as an 8.5-point underdog to Arizona, and I think they'll have no trouble with a California coming off back-to-back losses at Oregon and Oregon State.  

The Cougares defense rank 26th in the nation allowing only 61 ppg and Calfornia is averaging only 68 ppg (256th).

8* play on Washington State. 

NCAAB GAME OF THE YEAR ~ TOP RATED 10* BIG SKY TOTAL

The Southern Utah Thunderbirds are 4-1 to the over on the season, but I think this one will go under the total. 

They'll face an Idaho team that averages only 60.0 ppg, and Southern Utah's 84.6 ppg average is misleading as they've been running up the score against cupcake teams. We can also note that both teams make just about 2/3 free throw attempts. 

This will be Idaho's highest closing total of the season. The previous was a 137 total at Utah on December 18. That game went under by 17 points and I am confident that this to be a low-scoring affair.  

10* game of the year play on UNDER. 

70% RUN - TOP RATED 10* CAVS @ GRIZZLIES NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a 105-104 loss at Orlando last night, so the Cavs will be playing on no rest but I still think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to cover the number against this shorthanded Memphis team. 

The Grizzlies are 0-4 SU (1-3 ATS) at home and will have to do without several players, among them Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. They average only 106.9 ppg (23rd), and while the Cavs are averaging even points fewer than that, at least Cleveland can get stops on the defensive end. 

The Cavs have dropped four of their last five, but they have allowed only 102.6 ppg during that stretch, and that includes giving up 119 points at Indiana. 

Cavaliers are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite.

10* top play on Cleveland Cavaliers. 

AFTERNOON HOOPS - OREGON @ COLORADO 8* BOOKIE BOMBER

The Colorado Buffaloes have dropped two of their last three but should be ready to go off here as they're finally back home at CU Events Center again after completing a four-game road swing. 

Oregon is coming in hot but also overvalued by the oddsmakers. Ducks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 

Buffaloes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.

The home team is 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings. The favorite is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

8* play on Colorado. 

*BIG BET ALERT* NBA PACIFIC ATS GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY

The Los Angeles Clippers clawed back from a 19-point halftime deficit against the Kings last night, but didn't make it all the way and lost 116-113 in the end. I think they'll be more focused from the get-go here, and I have no problem backing the Clippers in this matchup despite them playing on back-to-back nights and Paul George (ankle) being questionable.

The Warriors are not much better off when it comes to rest as they'll be playing their third game in four nights. They are coming off a pair of 137 point outings (and wins) against Portland and Sacramento, but they'll face a much tougher defense this time around. We can also note that the Clippers are shooting a sizzling 41.9% from behind the arc (2nd) on the season while the Warriors rank 27th at defending the three.

Clippers are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games. Clippers are 24-8 ATS in their last 32 games following an ATS loss. Clippers are 37-14 ATS in their last 51 games following a straight-up loss. Warriors are 18-37-1 ATS in their last 56 games following an ATS win.

10* top play on Los Angeles Clippers.

 *LATE BAILOUT PLAY* BULLS @ KINGS 8* NBA TOTAL - 10:05 PM ET TIPOFF

The Chicago Bulls will be playing on no rest after defeating the Blazers 111-108 at Portland on Tuesday. While I do think the Kings win this game, I'm not so sure they'll cover the number and I like the over a lot better. 

The Kings should be looking forward to playing at home following a three-game trip (all losses), and they could be due for a breakout game after shooting only 38% from the field and 29% from three-point range in a 137-106 loss at Golden State last time out. 

In their last home game, the Kings put 125 points on the board against Denver and the Bulls have scored a lot of points through their last five games (four wins). 

8* play on OVER. 

UTAH STATE @ NEW MEXICO 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BLA$TER

Under is 7-2-1 in Lobos last 10 overall and 6-2-1 in their last 9 games as an underdog. They have been held to fewer than 60 points in three of their last four games, rank only 210th in the nation for points per game while Utah State owns the No. 48 scoring defense, holding opponents to 63.5 ppg. 

8* play on UNDER. 

TOP RATED 10* MINNESOTA @ MICHIGAN BIG TEN PLAY OF THE DAY

The #9 Michigan Wolverines are undefeated straight up and a solid 7-2 against the spread on the season. This does however look like too big of a number to cover against the #17 Minnesota Golden Gophers who are off to a 10-2 start. 

Last time out, the Gophers defeated a hot Ohio State team by 17 points while Michigan is coming off an 85-66 win over the #19 Northwestern Wildcats. 

Michigan has been shooting lights out, but averaging 52% from the field is way above expectation and I think the Wolverines are due to regress. 

The Gophers have quality wins over #4 Iowa, #17 Michigan State (and as mentioned #25 Ohio State), and I think they'll give Michigan plenty of trouble in this one. 

10* top play of the day. 

PISTONS @ BUCKS 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER TOTAL

The Detroit Pistons are 4-3 to the over on the season while the Milwaukee Bucks are 5-2 to the over. This is a very big number for a game involving the Pistons, and I think we'll see this one sneak under the total. 

Sure, the Bucks are averaging a league-best 124.6 ppg and the first game of this two-game series saw a total of 140 points scored, but the Bucks shot 58% from the field (and 41% from the perimeter) while Detroit made 17-of-40 (42%) three-point attempts, far over their season average, both for attempts and shots made.  

Expect this one to be played at a slower pace and the shooting to cool off. 

8* play on UNDER. 

CAVS @ MAGIC 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Cleveland Cavaliers lack star power on the offensive end, but they sure can play defense. 

The Cavs have the No. 5 scoring defense in the NBA and the 7th best defensive field goal percentage. The Orlando Magic are making only 44% of their shots which ranks 26th in the NBA. 

OK, the Magic won the first meeting of this two-game series 103-83, but the bookmakers have hardly adjusted the spread at all for this game, which says a lot. 

Cavaliers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss. Magic are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 home games.

8* play on Cleveland. 

SPURS @ CLIPPERS 8* NBA BOOKIE BA$HER

Good spot to fade the Clippers off a win against Phoenix while The Spurs could be in line for an upset following four straight losses. Last time out they took a 21 point loss to Utah, and I expect much better focus from Spurs in this one.Spurs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.

8* play on San Antonio. 

*LATE BAILOUT PLAY* - KANSAS @ TCU 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BU$TER

Kansas took an 84-59 beating by Texas last time out but is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points and 10-1 ATS in its last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. TCU is riding a five-game winning streak and won 67-60 as a 4-point favorite at Kansas State last time out, but the Horned Frogs are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS win and 1-5 ATS in their last six home games.

8* play on Kansas. 

TOP RATED 10* WOLVES @ NUGGETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Denver Nuggets are 5-1 to the over on the season. I think this total looks high though considering the Wolves offensive struggles. Sure, the first game of this two-game det saw 233 points, but I expect a lower-scoring affair here as the teams are more familiar with each other's offensive schemes.

10* top play on UNDER. 

RUTGERS @ MICHIGAN STATE 10* BIG TEN TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a great spot to back the Rutgers Scarlet Knights as they look to bounce back from a tough loss as an underdog to Iowa. The Hawkeyes made three free throws in the final 17 seconds to earn a 77-75 victory, but Rutgers was arguably the better team throughout the game. 

The Scarlet Knights still covered the spread to improve to 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and here they'll face a Michigan State team that is coming off its first conference game win after losing their first three Big Ten contests. The Spartans did not cover the number though and they are  0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

10* top play on Rutgers. 

FLORIDA @ ALABAMA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BLA$TER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Alabama Crimson Tide as they are coming off an upset win against a ranked Tennessee Volunteers team.

Note the Gators' 50.6% shooting from the field against Alabamas' 41.8% shooting.  

8* play on Florida. 

KINGS @ WARRIORS LATE NIGHT 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

This looks like a great spot to fade the Golden State Warriors who will be playing on no rest after putting a 137-122 beating on Portland on Sunday. The Warriors are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 0 days rest, and one must wonder how much gas they have left in the tank, especially Steph Curry who finished with 62 points in his 36 minutes on the court. 

The Sacramento Kings are coming off a loss to Houston, but they are a solid 4-2 ATS on the season and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss. 

8* play on Sacramento Kings. 

WEST VIRGINIA @ OKLAHOMA STATE 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BOMBER

I think WVU is ready to go off here following a 75-71 loss to Oklahoma last time out. The Mountaineers almost clawed all the way back from a 38-20 halftime deficit, and they should be focused and on their toes from the get go in this one. Oklahoma State had lost back-to-back games prior to defeating Texas Tech in OT as an 8.5-point dog last time out. I would not be surprised if they come out flat here. 

8* play on WVU. 

TOP RATED 10* HORNETS @ 76ERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

Love the Charlotte Hornets here in the second leg of a two-game set against Philadelphia. The Sixers have covered the spread in three straight games, beating up on Toronto, Orlando and Charlotte, and I would not be surprised if they come out completely flat in this one. 

The Sixers won the first game 127-112 on Saturday, but they are only 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and the Hornets are a solid 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog.

10* top play on Charlotte Hornets.

TOP RATED 10* NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY

The Drake Bulldogs are undefeated straight up and against the spread this season. As a result, oodsmakers know that they can inflate the lines against Drake, and square bettors will still back the Bulldogs.

The 7-1 Southern Illinois Salukis are far from a pushover, and as both teams are capable of making it rain from behind the arc, I think Drake will struggle to get separation. 

10* top play on Southern Illinois. 

TOP RATED 10* CLIPPERS @ SUNS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like an excellent spot to back the Los Angeles Clippers to bounce back from a loss at Utah. The Phoenix Suns have managed to stay hot following their 8-0 run in the Disneyworld bubble and have opened the season with a solid 5-1 record SU and ATS, but are they for real? This Clippers side will be the toughest team they've faced so far, and I'm not sure the Suns can compete with them just yet. 

Clippers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 road games. Clippers are 37-17 ATS in their last 54 games as a road favorite.

10* top play on Los Angeles Clippers. 

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* NCAAB GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* TOP PLAY SIDE

The Houston Cougars are 7-1, with their only loss coming to Tulsa last time out. They've defeated Texas Tech as underdogs, and I like Houston here in this matchup with SMU.

The 6-0 Mustangs are shooting the ball well, but here they'll run into the fifth-best scoring defense in the nation. 

10* top play on Houston. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK  - 10* MAJOR WAGER ATS TOP PLAY

The 14-1 Kansas City Chiefs have the division title and the No. 1 seed already locked up going into the final week. They have announced that they will rest QB Patrick Mahomes and other stars are likely to get the week off as well. 

The 6-9 LA Chargers are not going to the postseason, but they are heading into this contest on a three-game winning streak and rookie QB Justin Herbert keeps putting up impressive numbers.

Herbert passed for 311 yards and one touchdown in his NFL debut against the Chiefs in Week 2, a 23-20 OT loss. He should have good success against KC's backups. 

10* play on Los Angeles Chargers. 

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* NFL TOTAL GAME OF THE YEAR - REG SEASON 

The Cincinnati Bengals offense has come alive here at the end of the season, putting up a combined 64 points in back-to-back wins over Pittsburgh and Houston. Quarterback Brandon Allen threw for a career-high 371 yards and two touchdown in a 37-31 win at Houston last week. 

Their defense remains a liability though, and here they'll face a Ravens side that has averaged 37 ppg through a four-game winning streak. 

The Ravens need a win to have a shot at a playoff berth, so there's no question whether they will bring it or not while the Bengals would love nothing more than to play spoiler for their division-rival. 

10* play on OVER. 

STEELERS @ BROWNS 8* NFL BOOKIE BU$TER 1:00 ET 

Sure, the Steelers will give several starters the day off, including QB Ben Roethlisberger and pass rusher T.J. Watt.

Still, it's not like backup QB Mason Rudolph is a bad option, and I think the Steelers reserves will be looking forward to this chance of taking the field.

It's also worth noting that Cleveland won't be at full strength either. Six starters, including the majority of their back-seven defenders, are on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and at least three of them have tested positive, meaning they won’t be able to be activated before this game.

8* play on Pittsburgh. 

SUNDAY MORNING 8* EPL BOOKIE BLA$TER

Newcastle is winless with three losses and two draws through its last three games. T think they'll end up as losers in this matchup with second-place Leicester. The Foxes have won just one of their last four EPL games (W1, D2, L1) but they are a solid 6-1-1 with an 18-8 goal differential through eight EPL away games on the season.  

8* play on Leicester. 

RAPTORS @ PELCIANS 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER

The Pels defeated the Raptors 113-99 in the season opener. Toronto has won only one game on the season when they beat the Knicks last time out. New Orleans has looked solid and enters Saturday with a 3-2 record, losing at Miami and at Phoenix. The Pelicans have a solid record of 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games vs teams with a winning record below 40 percent.

8* play on New Orleans. 

KNICKS @ PACERS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

MERCER @ FURMAN 8* BOOKIE BOMBER

Good value on the Bears as we are getting an inflated number on Mercier after failing to cover the spread in four straight games. They average a solid 81.1 ppg and should keep this one close, even against a high-scoring Furman side. 

Last time out, Mercier took a 78-65 beating by Wofford but note that they are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a double-digit loss at home and the Paladins are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* play on Mercer. 

OLE MISS VS INDIANA 8* OUTBACK BOWL BOOKIE BU$TER - 12:30 ET KICK-OFF

The Indiana Hoosiers are 6-1 SU and a perfect 7-0 ATS on the season, but I think they are asked to cover too many points in the Outback Bowl on Saturday. 

Ole Miss' offense averaged 40 points per game over its nine contests and ensures it is never out of a game. The Rebels No. 6 ranked passing offense could come well handy for a backdoor cover if they were to fall behind. Wide receiver Elijah Moore and tight end Kenny Yeboah have opted out for the NFL draft, but quarterback Matt Corral still has weapons to work with. 

Indiana has a solid defense, but it does not have the same offensive firepower as Ole Miss, especially not with Jack Tuttle under center. 

8* play on Ole Miss. 

EARLY GATOR BOWL 10* BEST BET - LIVE ON ESPN 12 ET

The NC State Wolfpack are 8-3 SU and 7-4 ATS, but I think they'll come up short here against Kentucky in the Gator Bowl.

The Wildcats are only 4-6 SU nd 4-5-1 ATS, but they've played a tough schedule facing teams like Georgia, Alabama and Florida. 

The Wildcats are averaging a solid 187.4 rushing yards per game (46th), and I think they'll run over this NC State defense. 

10* play on Kentucky ML. 

SUPER EARLY TEXAS @ KANSAS 10* NCAAB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Texas Longhorns are 7-1 SU but only 4-4 ATS on the season. They have failed to impress through a fairly soft schedule while the 8-1 SU, 4-4 ATS Kanas Jayhawks are battle-tested with matchups against teams like Gonzaga, Creighton, Texas Tech and West Virginia.

Jayhawks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

10* play on Kansas. 

TOP RATED 10* PREMIER LEAGUE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Sheffield United sits dead last in the standings with two draws and 14(!) losses in 16 games. We find Crystal Palace in 15th place with five wins, four draws and seven losses. 

Sheffield United have mustered only four goals while conceding 15 in eight away games. 

While Crystal Palace hasn't been at its very best, they still have the talent to beat this awful Sheffield United side. 

10* play on Crystal Palace. 

BLAZERS @ WARRIORS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Both teams have started the season 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS, but I think this looks like an excellent spot to back the Blazers. 

While Golden State has won back-to-back games against subpar opponents (Detroit and Chicago), the Blazers will be pissed off after suffering a 23-point beatdown by the hands of the Clippers a couple of days ago. Damian Lillard shot just 3-of-14 from the field, but he should bounce back big like the superstar he is and we can note that GoldenState ranks 30th in the league in scoring defense and 30th in the league defending the three. 

10* play on Portland -3.5. 

OHIO STATE VS CLEMSON 10* SUGAR BOWL TOP PLAY

I think we're getting tremendous value on the #3 Clemson Tigers as a mere touchdown favorite over #4 Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl and College Football Playoff semifinal.

The Buckeyes went undefeated through six games but did not face much competition. Even so, they gave up 261 passing yards per game (103rd) and now they'll face Heisman Trophy favorite, Trevor Lawrence. Clemson has one loss on the season, an OT loss at Notre Dame, a game Lawrence missed sitting in COVID quarantine. 

Clemson defeated Ohio State by six as a 2.5-point favorite in the 2019 College Football Playoff semifinal. The Buckeyes are talented but not as talented as the Tigers. 

10* play on Clemson. 

SOCCER TOTAL OF THE WEEK - WEST HAM @ EVERTON 10* MAJOR WAGER

Everton closed out 2020 strong with four wins in their last five games. They sit fourth in the EPL standings, despite a rather leaky defense that has allowed 19 goals in 15 games. West Ham has a 23-21 goal differential in 16 EPL games and should be due for some fireworks after playing a sleepy 0-0 draw at Southampton last time out. The Hammers' last two games prior to that outing saw three goals each. 

10* play on OVER 2.5. 

USC @ COLORADO 8* NCAAB BAILOUT PLAY - 10:00 PM TIP-OFF

Buffaloes are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games as an underdog. Buffaloes are 13-40 ATS in their last 53 road games. Trojans are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite.

8* play on USC Trojans. 

LATE NIGHT SUNS @ JAZZ 8* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER - 9:05 PM TIP-OFF

The Phoenix Suns wrapped up the 2019-20 season with an eight-game winning streak in the NBA bubble and they have looked impressive through their first four games, sporting a 3-1 record with wins over Dallas, Sacramento, and New Orleans. 

I think they are about to run into trouble here though against a stingy Utah team that has compiled a 2-1 record with road wins at Portland and OKC. The Suns have the #1 scoring defense in the league heading into New Year's Eve, but that is likely to regress and they rank only #23 for points scored per game.

Note that the Jazz will be playing on two days of rest while Phoenix only has had one day off since its last game. 

8* play on Utah Jazz. 

BOISE STATE VS SAN JOSE STATE 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Boise State Broncos are 6-1 SU and 5-1 ATS. The one time they failed to cover the spread was as a 17.5-point favorite against Weber State. Here they are asked to cover 20+ points against a San Jose State squad that is 1-4 SU and 0-4 ATS on the season. 

The teams will square off in Phoenix because of restrictions in Santa Clara County in response to COVID-19 so there is no home advantage for the Spartans, but I still like San Jose State to cover the number for the first time this season. 

While this looks like (and most likely will be) a complete mismatch, the oddsmakers know what they're doing when they throw out this line. The public will pound Boise State pretty much no matter the point spread, and I think we're getting too many points on the dog to pass on. 

8* play on San Jose State. 

ARIZONA @ WASHINGTON 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BOMBER

The Arizona Wildcats are 7-1 SU but only 3-5 ATS. The Washington Huskies are 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS. Arizona is coming off an impressive 88-74 win over Colorado on Dec 28, a team Washington lost to by more than 20 points on Dec 20 last time out. I think the Huskies will be motivated to through with a strong performance while Arizona is in a potential letdown spot. 

8* play on Washington. 

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

The San Francisco Dons are 6-4 SU and 5-5 ATS on the season. They snapped a two-game slide with a 68-65 win over Grand Canyon last time out but failed to cover the number for a third straight game. I do however like the Dons to win and cover here against a San Diego team that has played only four games (1-3 SU and ATS) this season. Note that the Dons have a 100+ points game and defeated Virginia as a 15-point dog about a month ago, so the talent for big outings is there. 

8* play on San Francisco. 

WVU VS ARMY 10* LIBERTY BOWL NCAAF TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The West Virginia Mountaineers have an elite defense that ranks #5 in total defense, but they are better at stopping the pass than the run. The Black Knights is all about moving the sticks on the ground and finished fourth in the country this year in rushing, averaging 281.3 rypg. 

Much like West Virginia, Army also has an elite defense that ranks #2 in total defense. WVU is averaging only 26.8 ppg, and I think they'll struggle to put up enough points to cover the number in what should be a defensive battle. 

Mountaineers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games as a favorite. Black Knights are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games as an underdog.

10* play on Army. 

CAVS @ PACERS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Cleveland Cavaliers have opened the season surprisingly well, coming into this contest with a 3-1 record SU and ATS on the season. They defeated Charlotte, Detroit and Philadelphia as underdogs, before losing as a favorite against the Knicks last time out. 

I think they'll be a handful for the Pacers who are coming off two tough games against the Celtics. 

Cavaliers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. Pacers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite.

10* play on Cleveland Cavaliers.
