03-29-17	Hawks -115 v. 76ers		99-92	Win	100	10 h 33 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Atlanta Hawks Rating: 8/10* The Philadelphia 76ers have been ATS sweethearts lately, particularly home at Wells Fargo Center where they're 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games. I think the linemakers may have over-adjusted for this contest though, and this looks like a good spot to back Atlanta as a small road favorite. Note that the Hawks are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Philadelphia, and this looks like a letdown spot for Philly who's fresh off a 2-3 five-game road trip that concluded with a 106-101 win as a 4.5-point underdog at Brooklyn last night. The Hawks meanwhile had lost seven on the bounce prior to a modest 95-91 win as a 10-point favorite against Phoenix last night, and they're still fighting to hold onto their playoff spot in the tight Eastern Conference. Most trends point towards Philadelphia here, but I'm going with what should be the more motivated team.
03-28-17	Warriors v. Rockets UNDER 234		113-106	Win	100	20 h 17 m	Show
NBA Warriors/Rockets MONEYMAKER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors have won seven straight games, first and foremost thanks to an improved effort on the defensive end of the court. They've allowed 100 points or more just once during that span and they've seen each of their last 10 games go under the total. We always see high totals when the Houston Rockets are involved, but I think the bookmakers have set this number too high. Note that the under is 6-2 in the Rockets last eight home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and 4-1 in the last five meetings with Golden State. Let's go with the under.
03-28-17	Heat -125 v. Pistons	Top	97-96	Win	100	20 h 19 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA East GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The Detroit Pistons took a 109-95 beating at New York last night, their fourth straight defeat. They're 1-8 ATS in their last nine games playing on no rest and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overaii. This will be an extremely tough matchup against the Miami Heat who have dropped three of their last four, but they're on a nice ATS run overall and 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Heat won the last head-to-head meeting 116-103 home in Miami back in January, and I think they'll prevail once again.
03-27-17	Magic v. Raptors -9	Top	112-131	Win	100	20 h 38 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* The Toronto Raptors have won five on the bounce and covered the spread in all but one of those games. They're coming off an impressive 94-86 win at Dallas and I think they'll keep rolling tonight as they host the Orlando Magic. Sure, Orlando has won three of its last four games and off a 115-87 triumph at Detroit on Friday, but note that the Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win and 5-11 ATS off an upset win as an underdog this season. Orlando has won two meetings already here in 2017, and that can not sit well with this Raptors squad. Expect Toronto to bring its very best tonight and crush its opponent.
03-27-17	Predators v. Islanders +105		3-1	Loss	-100	5 h 3 m	Show
NHL POWER PLAY Play: New York Islanders Rating: 8/10* I'm going with the New York Islanders here in Monday's matchup with the Nashville Predators. The Islanders must be desperate for a win home at Barclays Center after dropping four in a row in front of the home town crowd. They're coming off a 2-1 home loss to Boston on Saturday but 8-2 in their last 10 after scoring two goals or fewer in their previous game. They'll host a Predators team that has won six of its last seven and defeated San Jose 7-2 on Saturday, but note that the Preds are just 9-25 in their last 34 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game and 1-4 in the last five meetings with the Islanders.
03-26-17	76ers +8.5 v. Pacers	Top	94-107	Loss	-105	16 h 27 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Sunday Night NBA BEST BET Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 10/10* The Indiana Pacers have dropped three of their last four games, and I think they're in for a tricky game here when hosting the Philadelphia 76ers Sunday night. Philly is coming off a 117-107 win at Chicago, and the 76ers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Pacers meanwhile are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 0-5 ATS in their last five games playing on one days rest, which they are following Friday's 125-117 home loss to Denver. Indiana is asked to cover too many points here. Go with the underdog.
03-26-17	Kentucky v. North Carolina -135		73-75	Win	100	16 h 55 m	Show
ELITE EIGHT ENFORCER Play: UNC Tar Heels Rating: 8/10* The North Carolina Tar Heels are looking good as a small favorite here against the Kentucky Wildcats in this NCAA Tournament Elite Eight matchup at FedEx Forum on Sunday. Kentucky won the last meeting 103-100 back in December, but I think the Tar Heels will prove to be too big and strong now when it really matters. Note that they have a plus-47 rebounding margin through the first three games of the tournament. and don't underestimate the expected advantage on the boards here. The Tar Heels are 6-2 ATS in their last eight NCAA Tournament games while the Wildcats are 3-7-2 ATS in their last 12 NCAA Tournament games. UNC is the play.
03-26-17	Nets v. Hawks UNDER 215.5		107-92	Win	100	6 h 24 m	Show
Super Early NBA Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The under is 6-0 in the last six head-to-head meetings between the Brooklyn Nets and the Atlanta Hawks. I think we'll see another relatively low-scoring affair when they do battle at Philips Arena Sunday afternoon. The Hawks have dropped six in a row, scoring 100 points or fewer in each of those games with all but one going under the total. Under is 9-2 in Hawks last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and 6-0 in the 15-57 Brooklyn Nets' last six vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
03-25-17	Raptors +1 v. Mavs	Top	94-86	Win	100	21 h 26 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* The Toronto Raptors head into Dallas for a meeting with the Mavericks on the back of four consecutive victories. They defeated Miami 101-84 on the road as a 4-point underdog on Thursday and are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 5-2 ATS off an upset win as an underdog this season. The Dallas Mavericks are also coming off an upset win as an underdog after beating the Clippers 97-95 as a 5-point home underdog on Thursday, but the Mavs have been pretty inconsistent lately. We can also note that Toronto has won each of the last three meetings in the series, the most recent a 100-78 triumph earlier this month. Let's go with the Raptors in this matchup.
03-25-17	Xavier +8 v. Gonzaga		59-83	Loss	-102	18 h 15 m	Show
ELITE EIGHT ANNIHILATOR Play: Xavier Rating: 8/10* The Xavier Musketeers will take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs here in this Elite Eight matchup of the West Region, and I really like the underdog in this matchup. The Musketeers are underestimated by the bookmakers time and time again, and they're 15-2-1 ATS in their last 18 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. I picked Gonzaga -3 in the Bulldogs matchup with West Virginia in the previous round (push), but they're asked to cover too many points here. Note that the Bulldogs are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.
03-24-17	UCLA v. Kentucky UNDER 165.5		75-86	Win	100	16 h 38 m	Show
Friday Night Sweet 16 Total BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* We're seeing a rather large number for the total here in this NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 clash between the UCLA Bruins and the Kentucky Wildcats Friday night. Too large IMO, and I think we'll see this game go under the total. Both teams boast impressive offenses, but note that the under is 9-3 in UCLA's last 12 overall and 8-1 in Kentucky's last nine overall. Kentucky held Wichita State to just 38.7 percent shooting from the field in 65-62 triumph in the last round while UCLA played strong enough D in their 79-67 win over Cincinnati. The last meeting was a high-scoring 97-92 UCLA victory back in December, but I think we'll see a more cagey affair here in the tournament.
03-24-17	Hawks +5.5 v. Bucks	Top	97-100	Win	100	21 h 41 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA East GAME OF THE YEAR Play: Atlanta Hawks Rating: 10/10* The Atlanta Hawks are losers of five straight and were 0-4 ATS before covering as a 7.5-point dog in a 104-100 loss at Washington on Wednesday. I think they'll step it up a notch further here against Eastern Conference rivals Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee is somewhat overrated against the spread here after winning four of its last five and 10 of its last 12, and we can note that the Bucks are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Southeast while the Hawks are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 vs. NBA Central. The Hawks head into this contest one game ahead of the Bucks at 5th place in the conference, so I have no doubt that both teams will bring their A-game tonight. The Hawks are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings at BMO Harris Bradley Center, and I think they'll threaten to win this one outright, just like they did in a 114-110 triumph back in December.
03-24-17	Albania v. Italy OVER 2.5		0-2	Loss	-100	12 h 50 m	Show
Friday World Cup Qualifier Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Italy have plenty of offensive firepower and they have an 11-4 goal differential in four games so far here in the qualifying group. Albania have lost their last two games 2-0 against Spain and 3-0 against Israel, both at home. I expect to see goals here, first and foremost from the Italians.
03-23-17	Grizzlies +8.5 v. Spurs		90-97	Win	100	8 h 9 m	Show
NBA MONEYMAKER Play: Memphis Grizzlies Rating: 8/10* Neither team will lack motivation when the Memphis Grizzlies visit the San Antonio Spurs Thursday night, but I think one team is more desperate than the other making me like the underdog here. The Grizzlies are competing with Oklahoma City for the sixth seed in the West, and they'll be eager to bounce back from a 95-82 loss at New Orleans. They had covered the spread in five straight games prior to that dudd, and they're a solid 6-1 ATS in their last seven Thursday night games. The Spurs meanwhile are just 7-17-1 ATS in their last 25 Thursday games, and even though they're looking to catch up with Golden State at the top of the conference they must still feel they're in a comfortable position. The Grizzlies have won the previous two meetings this season outright, and I think they'll give the Spurs a tough game tonight again.
03-23-17	West Virginia v. Gonzaga -3	Top	58-61	Push	0	20 h 51 m	Show
Top Rated 10* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Gonzaga Bulldogs Rating: 10/10* The Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament Thursday night, and my money is on the Bulldogs to come through with a big win. West Virginia has covered the spread in only one of its last five games, and this is a team that's doing much better as a favorite, particularly in neutral site games going only 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 neutral site games as an underdog. The Bulldogs are a solid 19-6-2 ATS in their last 27 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points and this is a great day of the week for them going 13-2-1 ATS in their last 16 Thursday games. Let's go with the Bulldogs.
03-23-17	Coyotes +171 v. Panthers		1-3	Loss	-100	13 h 0 m	Show
NHL POWER PLAY Play: Arizona Coyotes Rating: 8/10* The Florida Panthers have seen their postseason dreams all but disappear as they've dropped eight of their last 10 games. I think they'll take another loss when hosting the Arizona Coyotes Thursday night. Arizona defeated Tampa Bay 5-3 on Tuesday night and the Yotes are 6-2 in the last eight head-to-head meetings with Florida. Take the big underdog in this contest.
03-22-17	76ers +11 v. Thunder	Top	97-122	Loss	-110	17 h 16 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA MIDWEEK MADNESS Play: Philly 76ers Rating: 10/10* The Philadelphia 76ers headed to Orlando on Monday on the back of home wins against Dallas and Boston, but the Magic prevailed 112-109 in OT. The 76ers still managed to cover the spread, and they're a perfect 7-0 ATS through their last seven games. We can also note that they're 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games playing on one days rest and 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Tonight they'll visit an Oklahoma City Thunder team that is coming off a 111-95 loss to the Warriors. The Thunder had won and covered the spread in five on the spin prior to the setback but the 76ers are 4-1 ATS in the last five head-to-head meetings. OKC won the last meeting 103-97 at Philly, and the 76ers are 20-6 ATS when revenging a home loss vs. opponent this season. Much respect for how well the Thunder are playing at the moment, but they're simply asked to cover way too many points here.
03-22-17	Islanders +118 v. Rangers		3-2	Win	118	9 h 38 m	Show
NHL POWER PLAY Play: New York Islanders Rating: 8/10* Spot bet on the New York Islanders in the NHL Wednesday night as they take on their crosstown rivals at Madison Square Garden. The Islanders are desperate for wins as they need to pick up the pace in order to make it to the playoffs. They've dominated this series in recent seasons winning seven of the last eight head-to-head meetings, and the Rangers are winless through their last six games home at MSG. There's also a clear rest advantage for the visitors as the Rangers lost 3-2 in OT at New Jersey last night while the Islanders have had plenty of time to prepare for this game since a loss t Columbus on Saturday.
03-22-17	Pacers v. Celtics UNDER 207		100-109	Loss	-110	8 h 47 m	Show
Celtics/Pacers NO-BRAINER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The under is 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings overall and 8-3 in the last 11 meetings at TD Garden. The Boston Celtics have played solid D lately and held off the high-scoring Wizards in a 110-102 victory on Monday. Under is 12-2-2 in Celtics last 16 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 20-6-1 in their last 27 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Pacers are poor on the road and average only 101.4 ppg away from home this season.Under is 13-3 in Pacers last 16 road games and 10-2 in their last 12 games following a straight up win. which they are after a 107-100 win against Utah on Monday.
03-21-17	Spurs v. Wolves OVER 205.5	Top	100-93	Loss	-110	18 h 55 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA West GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 97-90 in overtime home in Texas earlier this month. I think points will come far more easy in tonight's meeting. The Spurs are coming off a 118-102 win against Sacramento, their fourth straight game to go over the total. The over is 7-3 in the last 10 clashes with the Timberwolves who have allowed an average of 121 per game during a three-game losing streak. Over is 13-3 in the Timberwolves last 16 games playing on one days rest and 9-3 in their last 12 games home at Target Center. Expect a high-scoring encounter at go with the over.
03-21-17	Grizzlies v. Pelicans -2.5		82-95	Win	100	19 h 1 m	Show
NBA BANKROLL BUILDER Play: New Orleans Pelicans Rating: 8/10* Two red hot teams will clash at Smoothie King Center Tuesday night as the Memphis Grizzlies are going for a fifth consecutive victory while the New Orleans Pelicans aim for their fifth in six games. This is a bad spot for the Grizzlies though who are coming off a 104-96 victory over San Antonio on Saturday but are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine games playing on two days rest, 2-8 ATS after a division game and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 Tuesday games. The Pelicans took down Minnesota 123-109 on Sunday and are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Let's go with the home team in this contest.
03-21-17	Richmond +7.5 v. TCU		68-86	Loss	-102	11 h 37 m	Show
CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Richmond Spiders Rating: 8/10* The Richmond Spiders are looking good as underdog at TCU Horned Frogs Tuesday night. The Spiders are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last five Tuesday games. TCU meanwhile is 1-4 ATS in its last five games as a home favorite and 1-6 ATS in their last seven Tuesday games. Take the points on the visitors.
03-20-17	Warriors v. Thunder UNDER 221		111-95	Win	100	21 h 5 m	Show
Warriors/Thunder BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors will open the new week with a visit at the Oklahoma City Thunder, and I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring encounter. The Warriors have allowed an average of just 96 points through three consecutive victories, the most recent a 117-92 triumph against Milwaukee. Under is 19-8 in Warriors last 27 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 10-3 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Thunder have won five on the spin, and they played solid D in a 110-94 win against Sacramento on Saturday. Under is 9-2 in Thunder last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 11-3 in their last 14 Monday night games. Also note the revenge factor as the Warriors rolled to a 130-114 win here at Chesapeake Energy Arena on November 2 in Kevin Durant's first game back in the city as a Warrior. He's sidelined by a knee injury tonight, and I think we'll see a dialed in Thunder defense slow down the highest scoring team in the NBA enough to keep this game under the total.
03-19-17	Wolves v. Pelicans -3.5		109-123	Win	100	6 h 25 m	Show
NBA BANKROLL BUILDER Play: New Orleans Pelicans Rating: 8/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves have lost three of their last four games and failed to cover the spread in all of the losses. The Wolves are a terrible road team, and while the Pelicans are just 17-18 at home this season we can note that Minnesota is only 4-9 ATS in its last 13 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. It's also noteworthy that the Pelicans have won nine of the last 11 meetings and they're 6-1 ATS in the last seven clashes home at Smoothie King Center. All-Star DeMarcus Cousins is considered day-to-day, but New Orleans recorded a 128-112 victory as a 6.5-point dog against Houston without him on Friday.
03-19-17	Wichita State +5 v. Kentucky		62-65	Win	100	16 h 35 m	Show
Wichita State/Kentucky NO-BRAINER Play: Wichita State Rating: 8/10* I don't think the Wichita State Shockers are getting enough respect here against the Kentucky Wildcats. The Shockers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog (4-0 ATS in their last four NCAA Tournament games as an underdog) while the Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games as a favorite. Anything can happen in the tourney, and I think it's a no-brainer to side with the underdog in this contest.
03-19-17	Celtics v. 76ers +5	Top	99-105	Win	100	12 h 28 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 10/10* The Philadelphia 76ers have been pure money against the spread lately, covering in five straight games and they're 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. They're in an extremely good situation here, hosting a Boston Celtics side that is coming off three straight games and has a much more interesting matchup with the Wizards at Washington on deck tomorrow. Also worth noting that the Celtics are just 2-11 ATS after three or more consecutive wins this season and 3-10 ATS againast division opponents. The 76ers meanwhile are 8-2 ATS vs. Atlantic Division foes. Take the points on the home team.
03-19-17	Michigan v. Louisville OVER 141	Top	73-69	Win	100	12 h 49 m	Show
Top Rated 10* BEST BET Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Michigan Wolverines are coming off a 92-91 win against Oklahoma State and the over is 12-4-1 in the Wolverines last 17 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. The Louisville Cardinals defeated Jacksonville St. 78-63 in the last round, the fourth of their last five games to push over the total. Over is 9-3 in the Cardinals last 12 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite and 5-1 in Wolverines last six NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. I think points will come easy and fast for both teams in this contest.
03-19-17	Manchester United v. Middlesbrough UNDER 2.5		3-1	Loss	-145	18 h 21 m	Show
Premier League Sunday Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Manchester United's strike force is severely limited due to injuries and suspensions. Middlesbrough are the lowest scoring side in the Premier League with just 19 goals in 27 games, but they've also only conceded 30. These two teams have the best under/over ratio with a total of 2.5 goals in the Premier League, United with 16 unders and 10 overs and Middlesbrough with 18 unders and just nine overs.
03-18-17	Spurs v. Grizzlies UNDER 198	Top	96-104	Loss	-110	22 h 51 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Saturday Night NBA BEST BET Total Play: Under Rating:** 10/10* Matchups between the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs are usually tough defensive battles, and that was certainly the case when the Grizzlies defeated the visiting Spurs 89-74 on Feb. 6. Under is 5-1 in the last six head-to-head meetings, and I think we'll see another one go under the total despite the low number posted for this game. The Spurs might be coming off a 110-106 loss against Portland on Wednesday, but they had allowed just 85 and 99 points in wins against Golden State and Atlanta prior to that. Under is 5-1 in the Spurs last six after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 12-4 in thei last 16 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. The under is 22-11-1 in the Grizzlies home games this season, and I have no doubt they'll bring their best D for this contest.
03-18-17	Xavier +6 v. Florida State		91-66	Win	100	18 h 5 m	Show
Xavier/FSU BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Xavier Rating: 8/10* The Xavier Musketeers will take on the FSU Seminoles in this second-round West Region matchup of the NCAA Tournament in Orlando, and I'm happy to take the points on Xavier in this contest. Note that Xavier is 6-1 ATS in neutral-site games this season, including 4-0 in Orlando. The Musketeers are also 13-2-1 ATS in their last 16 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog while the Seminoles are 1-5 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. Florida State won just 86-80 as a 12.5-point favorite against Florida Gulf Coast in the first round, and I they're in for a really tough game here.
03-18-17	Northwestern +11.5 v. Gonzaga		73-79	Win	100	18 h 40 m	Show
Northwestern/Gonzaga BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Northwestern Rating: 8/10* The Northwestern Wildcats managed to edge Vanderbilt 68-66 on Thursday afternoon, and I think they'll keep it a close game when taking on the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the second round. The Wildcats are allowing an average of just 65.1 points per game and they've held seven opponents to 60 or fewer this season. The Bulldogs weren't all that efficient on the ball in their 66-46 victory as a 23-point favorite against South Dakota State in the opening round, and I can easily see them struggle to score today as well. Take the points on the Wildcats.
03-18-17	Wisconsin v. Villanova OVER 129		65-62	Loss	-104	7 h 38 m	Show
Super Early CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* I think the total is set way too low in this East Region clash between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Villanova Wildcats. Wisconsin defeated Virginia Tech 84-74 in the first round while Villanova eliminated Mount St. Mary with a 76-56 victory. Well worth noting that Villanova had a slim 30-29 lead at halftime, and I expect them to play better offense from the get-go today. Over is 5-1 in the Wildcats last six NCAA Tournament games and 9-2 in their last 11 vs. teams from the Big Ten.
03-18-17	Hull City v. Everton -205		0-4	Win	100	21 h 58 m	Show
Premier League CA$H COW Play: Everton Rating: 8/10* Everton bounced back from a loss to Tottenham (the only one in their last 11 games) with a solid 3-0 win against WBA at home. Everton play really well at the moment, particularly home at Goodison Park where the team has won five straight with a goal difference of 18-3. They have their eyes on a Europa League spot, sitting just three points back of Arsenal who heading into this weekend in fifth place. Hull meanwhile are fighting relegation, and they're extremely lousy on the road where they've lost 11 of 14 games this season. Let's lay the juice on the home team in this contest.
03-18-17	Leicester +220 v. West Ham United	Top	3-2	Win	220	21 h 44 m	Show
Top Rated Premier League GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Leicester Rating: 8/10* Home field advantage for West Ham, or is it? The Hammers have five wins, three draws and six losses home at London Stadium, and they've struggled to make themselves at home their since moving from Upton Park. Leicester have really come to life after the sacking of Claudio Ranieri, and they're severely underrated in this matchup. Sure, Leicester are still looking for their first road win of the season, but I think they'll get it here at West Ham. This is a top rated play for me, but because it's a long-shot I'm keeping the stake a bit smaller than usual for my top rated plays.
03-17-17	Wolves v. Heat -4.5	Top	105-123	Win	100	20 h 2 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA NO-BRAINER Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The Miami Heat are 7-1 ATS so far in the month of March and a rock solid 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. T he 28-39 Minnesota Timberwolves have been money against the spread lately as well, but they're much stronger at home and have failed to cover in both of their last two games on the road (at Milwaukee and Boston). We can also note that the Timberwolves are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 vs. Eastern Conference while the Heat are 7-1 ATS in their last eight vs. teams from the Western Conference. Miami has covered the spread in four of the last five head-to-head meetings and my money is on the home team in this matchup.
03-17-17	Wichita State v. Dayton +6.5		64-58	Win	100	5 h 29 m	Show
CBB HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Dayton Flyers Rating: 8/10* The Dayton Flyers have dropped two in a row and fell 73-67 as a 4-point favorite against Davidson in the Atlantic 10 tournament. They had however won eight straight prior to their mini-skid, and they're 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as an underdog. The Wichita State Shockers are riding a 15-game winning streak, but they're just 6-14 ATS in their last 20 neutral site games as a favorite. I think we'll see an even game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, and I'm taking the points on the dog.
03-17-17	Seton Hall +1.5 v. Arkansas		71-77	Loss	-110	3 h 53 m	Show
Super Early Seton Hall/Arkansas ANNIHILATOR Play: Seton Hall Rating: 8/10* The Seton Hall Pirates are coming off a loss in the Big East semifinals where they took just a two-point loss as a 10.5-point underdog to Villanova. The Pirates are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss and 6-2 ATS in their last eight neutral site games as an underdog. The Arkansas Razorbacks lost 82-65 to Kentucky as a 6.5-point underdog in the SEC tournament final Sunday. They're just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. teams from the Big East. The Pirates are big and strong. They should dominate the frontcourt and score relatively easy points in the paint. If they can slow down Arkansas' backcourt and limit the Razorback's damage from behind the arc they'll have a great chance at winning this game outright. Let's go with the underdog in this matchup between the No. 8 and the No. 9 seed in the South Region.
03-17-17	Oklahoma State v. Michigan OVER 153.5	Top	91-92	Win	100	6 h 19 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Super Early CBB Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Michigan Wolverines held Wisconsin to just 39.3 percent shooting in their 71-56 victory in the Big Ten tournament championship game, but today they'll face an Oklahoma State Cowboys side that averages 85.0 ppg. The Cowboys have lost three straight games despite scoring 83, 85 and 83 points (all going over the total), and I think they can exploit the Wolverines D here. Michigan has averaged close to 80 ppg through its last five (all wins), and I think we'll see offense rule this contest.
03-16-17	Virginia Tech v. Wisconsin -5.5		74-84	Win	100	22 h 48 m	Show
Late Night CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Wisconsin Badgers Rating: 8/10* The Wisconsin Badgers took an embarrassing 71-56 beating by Michigan in the Big Ten tournament title game on Sunday, and I think they'll make the Virginia Tech Hokies pay for that Thursday night. Wisconsin has several key players with Final Four experience while Virginia Tech is competing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. The Badgers boast among the best defenses in college basketball (allowing just 61.4 ppg) and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points.
03-16-17	Virginia Tech v. Wisconsin UNDER 137		74-84	Loss	-110	13 h 22 m	Show
Late Night CBB BONUS TOTAL Play: Under Rating: 5/10* The Wisconsin Badgers took an embarrassing 71-56 beating by Michigan in the Big Ten tournament title game on Sunday, and I think they'll make the Virginia Tech Hokies pay for that Thursday night. Wisconsin has several key players with Final Four experience while Virginia Tech is competing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. The Badgers boast among the best defenses in college basketball (allowing just 61.4 ppg) and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. I also expect this game to go under the total.
03-16-17	Thunder v. Raptors -2.5	Top	123-102	Loss	-105	8 h 17 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Thursday Night BEST BET Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* The Toronto Raptors ended a two-game skid with a commanding 100-78 win over Dallas on Monday. They're 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 8-1 ATS in their last nine games playing on two days rest, so I believe the Raptors will come out strong in this matchup with Oklahoma City. The Thunder are due for a letdown game after recording solid wins over San Antonio, Utah and most recently a dominant 122-104 win at Brooklyn. Worth noting though that OKC is just 1-5 ATS in its last six road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 1-6 ATS in the last seve meetings with Toronto.
03-16-17	Princeton v. Notre Dame -6.5		58-60	Loss	-108	13 h 21 m	Show
Super Early CBB BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Notre Dame Fighting Irish Rating: 8/10* The Notre Dame Fighting Irish look like good value here against the Princeton Tigers Thursday afternoon. The Tigers are going for 20th consecutive victory, but note that they're 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Fighting Irish will be looking to bounce back after falling 75-69 to Duke in the ACC Tournament title game, and this is a much tougher opponent than any team Princeton has run into lately. I have no problem laying the points on the Irish in this early matchup Thursday afternoon.
03-15-17	Bruins v. Flames -105	Top	5-2	Loss	-105	19 h 15 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NHL Non-Conference GAME OF THE MONTH Play: Calgary Flames Rating: 10/10* The Calgary Flames are heading into this matchup with the Boston Bruins as winners of 10 straight games, and I think they'll extend that winning streak with a victory tonight. Both teams will play their third game in four nights, and the Flames are 4-0 in their last four in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation and 10-1 in their last 11 games playing on one days rest while the Bruins are 2-5 in their last seven in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Home ice advantage should not be underestimated either when it comes to a situation like this, and the Bruins are 2-6-1 in the last nine meetings in the Saddledome.
03-15-17	Wolves v. Celtics UNDER 211	Top	104-117	Loss	-110	21 h 52 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Wednesday Night NBA BEST BET Play: Under Rating: 10/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves have played much improved defense lately and they had played six straight unders prior to a 119-104 win against Washington which flew over the total. On Wednesday they'll visit the Boston Celtics who have an 0-6-1 over/under record here in March, and the Celtics are coming off a solid defensive performance in Sunday's 100-80 victory against the Bulls. Under is 13-3-3 in Celtics last 19 overall and the first head-to-head meeting between the C's and the Wolves was a very low-scoring affair (99-93 Celtics win at Minnesota back in November).
03-14-17	CS Bakersfield +9.5 v. California		73-66	Win	100	11 h 38 m	Show
Late Night NIT NO BRAINER Rating: 8/10* The Cal. State Bakersfield Roadrunners have allowed just an average of 63.4 points per game this season, so it stands to reason that they've performed well against the spread when catching a lot of points. They're a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5 points and 6-0 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog overall. California is obviously always strong home at Haas Pavilion, but leading scorer Jabari Bird is listed as day-to-day with concussion symptoms for this contest. Let's take the points on CS Bakersfield here in the first round of the NIT tournament Tuesday night.
03-14-17	76ers v. Warriors UNDER 221.5	Top	104-106	Win	100	23 h 14 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Non-Conference GAME OF THE MONTH Play: Under Rating: 10/10* Four of the last five (and six of the last seven) meetings between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors have gone under the total, and I predict another relatively low-scoring affair Tuesday night. The Warriors have averaged just 91 points per game during a three-game slide, and eight of their last nine games have gone under the total. Their offense has lost all rhythm since All-Star forward Kevin Durant went down with a knee injury, and here they'll take on a 76ers side which has played four straight unders when taking on a team with a winning record. It's also worth noting that the under is 18-8 in non-conference games this season.
03-14-17	Richmond v. Alabama -7		71-64	Loss	-110	16 h 60 m	Show
College Basketball HARDWOOD HAMMER Rating: 8/10* Both the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Richmond Spiders are coming off losses to higher seeds in their respective conference tournaments. The Crimson Tide are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss and I like them as a favorite here. Richmond is just 6-13-1 ATS in its last 20 games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5 points. With Bama back in Coleman Coliseum I expect a big victory for the home side.

Top Rated 10* NBA Monday Night BEST BET Play: Minnesota Timberwolves Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards will be looking to close out a five-game road trip with a perfect record, but here they'll run into a Minnesota Timberwolves side that had covered the spread in eight straight games prior to a 102-95 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday. Note that the Timberwolves are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss and 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record while the Wizards are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Minnesota has covered the spread in five of the last six meetings at Target Center, and this looks like an excellent spot to back the Wolves as a small home favorite.
03-12-17	Cavs v. Rockets -5	Top	112-117	Push	0	19 h 32 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Sunday Night BEST BET Play: Houston Rockets Rating: 10/10* The Cleveland Cavaliers snapped a three-game skid with a 116-104 victory at Orlando on Saturday, but I think they'll struggle at Houston here the next day. The Cavs have rested their superstars the second halves of back-to-back sets lately, and that could be the case once again with both Kyrie Irving and Lebron James logging heavy minutes yesterday. Cleveland has dropped five of its last six in the second halves of back-to-back sets going also going 1-5 ATS during that span. The Rockets got back to their winning ways with a 115-94 win at Chicago on Friday following losses against San Antonio and Utah. Worth noting that the Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Sunday games. The Cavs won the first meeting of the season 128-120 home in Cleveland, but they're just 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Houston. This game has a big Rockets win written all over it.

Top Rated 10* BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Wisconsin Badgers Rating: 10/10* The Michigan Wolverines have impressed in the Big 10 tournament, but I think the Wisconsin Badgers will be too much to handle here in the final. The Badgers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points and they made it an easy effort in Saturday's 76-48 win against Northwestern. The Badgers have played exceptional defense lately, and they have the advantage of only playing two games here in the Big 10 tournament so far while Michigan will play its fourth game in as many days.
03-11-17	Marshall v. Middle Tennessee OVER 163	Top	72-83	Loss	-110	21 h 1 m	Show
Top Rated 10* C-USA Championship Game BEST BET Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Marshall Thundering Herd shot 54 percent from 3-point range in yesterday's 93-77 win against Louisiana Tech, and I like them to keep up with the Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders in the scoring protocol Saturday night. Note that the over is 11-3 in the Thundering Herd last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 19-7 in their last 26 Saturday games. Middle Tennessee St. cruised past Texas-El Paso in a 82-56 triumph on Friday, and the over is 10-1 in the Blue Raiders' last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Middle Tennessee St. won the last head-to-head meeting 97-86 on Feb. 18. Look for another high-scoring encounter tonight.
03-11-17	76ers +13 v. Clippers		100-112	Win	100	17 h 32 m	Show
Afternoon NBA 76ers/Clippers Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 8/10* The Philadelpha 76ers are catching plenty of points at LA Clippers Saturday afternoon, and my money is on the visitors in this matchup. Philadelphia may have lost six of its last seven games, but the 76ers are great value as underdogs at 7-0 ATS in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. The LA Clippers have won three of their last four games as they're coming off a 114-98 win at Memphis as an underdog. They're however 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games and the Clippers are way too inconsistent to back as this big of a favorite against a feisty 76ers side.
03-11-17	Michigan -3.5 v. Minnesota		84-77	Win	100	3 h 47 m	Show
Big 10 AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: Michigan Rating: 8/10* The Michigan Wolverines knocked out No. 1 seed Purdue 74-70 in overtime in Friday's quarterfinal, and I think they'll take out the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Big 10 semifinals Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as a favorite. while the Golden Gophers are Golden Gophers are 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games as an underdog and 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Golden Gophers picked up a 83-78 overtime victory in Minneapolis on Feb. 19 in the last meeting, but Michigan has won nine of the last 10 meetings and the Wolverines are 5-2 ATS in the last seven.

Top Rated 10* Rockets/Bulls BEST BET Play: Chicago Bulls Rating: 10/10* The Chicago Bulls need a win here after three straight defeats, and I like them to at least cover the spread as they're 6-0 ATS after three or more consecutive losses this season. The Bulls are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and they've covered the spread in five of the last six meetings with the Houston Rockets who are not playing great at the moment either coming off losses to San Antonio and Utah. The Rockets are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. Eastern Conference teams, and with a more "sexy" matchup with the Cavs on deck on Sunday I would not be surprised to see Houston take it easy in this one. Take the points on the Bulls as a solid home dog.
03-10-17	Wild v. Panthers -115		7-4	Loss	-115	8 h 27 m	Show
NHL POWER PLAY Play: Florida Panthers Rating: 8/10* The Florida Panthers have won just one of their last seven games and they're coming off a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay. That's why we're getting a great price on the home team here, and note that the Panthers are 11-1 in their last 12 games following a home loss of three or more goals.
03-10-17	TCU v. Iowa State -4	Top	63-84	Win	100	14 h 30 m	Show
Top Rated 10* BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR Play: Iowa State Rating: 10/10* The TCU Horned Frogs are coming off a 85-82 upset as an 8-point underdog against Kansas in Thursday's opening quarterfinal of the Big 12 Tournament. I think they'll find it extremely tough to orchestrate another upset here against Iowa State Cyclones who took down Oklahoma State 92-83 last night. Note that TCU is just 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and that the team entered the tournament on a seven-game slide. The Cyclones meanwhile are a solid 6-2 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and they handed TCU a 84-71 defeat on Feb. 18. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six head-to-head meetings and that's a trend I think will hold true tonight as well.

Early CBB HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Marshall Rating: 8/10* I like Marshall Thundering Herd as as underdog against Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Friday night. Marshall's scoring is up there with the best, and the Thundering Herd lost by just four points in their visit to Ruston, Louisiana earlier this season. The Bulldogs are 1-5 ATS in their last six neutral site games and 1-4 ATS in their last five neutral site games as a favorite. Let's take the points on Marshall.

Top Rated 10* NBA MIDNIGHT MADNESS Play: Phoenix Suns Rating: 10/10* The Los Angeles Lakers are in full tank mode and they're 0-7-1 ATS during an eight-game slide. The Phoenix Suns meanwhile had won three on the bounce prior to a 131-127 loss to the red hot Wizards on Tuesday. The Suns are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The Lakers are 3-14-1 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and 3-12-1 ATS in the last 16 head-to-head meetings in Phoenix.

The Kansas State Wildcats are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and I think they'll struggle to solve Baylor's defense here. The Wildcats meanwhile have allowed an average of 74 points over their last seven games.
03-09-17	Clippers v. Grizzlies -2.5		114-98	Loss	-108	12 h 49 m	Show
Thursday 3-Pack Play: Memphis Grizzlies Rating: 8/10* The Memphis Grizzlies need a win here after losses to Dallas, Houston and Brooklyn. They've had plenty of time to ponder Monday's embarrassing 122-109 loss to the Nets and I think they'll come up with a big performance tonight. The LA Clippers fell 107-91 at Minnesota last night and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games playing on no rest. Memphis owns the sixth seed in the Western Conference, two games behind the fifth-place Clippers. Big game for both teams, but I'm backing the home side.
03-09-17	Eastern Michigan v. Akron -4.5		62-79	Win	100	2 h 2 m	Show
CBB AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: Akron Rating: 8/10* The Eastern Michigan Eagles are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Akron Zips are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. The Zips have not played great basketball down the stretch, but they've won nine of the last 10 meetings with Eastern Michigan, including a sweep this season. Let's go with the Zips to keep dominating the head-to-head series.

Late Night NBA Play: Boston Celtics Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors are not playing great basketball at the moment and they've covered the spread in just one of their last seven games. They've just returned home from a five-game road trip and are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games following a road trip of seven or more days. Tonight the Warriors will host a Boston Celtics team looking to get back in the win column after back-to-back losses at LA Clippers and Phoenix. They lost their last game 116-102 at Clippers but are still 13-6-2 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The road team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings head-to-head meetings and I'm taking the points on the visitors here.

Top Rated 10* NBA MIDWEEK MADNESS Play: Indiana Pacers Rating: 10/10* This looks like a great spot to back the Indiana Pacers as a small home favorite against the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night. The Pistons are 0-4 ATS in the last five meetings overall and due for a let down game after back-to-back wins and ATS covers against Philadelphia and Chicago. Note that the Pistons are just 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Pacers are back home from a five-game road swing and seeking to bounce back from a 100-88 loss at Charlotte on Monday. They're 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and I expect a motivated Pacers side to show up tonight.

Over is 6-1 in the Orange last seven neutral site games as an underdog and 5-2-1 in Hurricanes last eight neutral site games as a favorite. We can also note that the over is 12-3-1 in Orange last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. This is the second round of the ACC Tournament, so there's no doubt both teams will be fired up. Expect plenty of foul shots to push the total over the posted number.

Wizards/Suns BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 8/10* The Phoenix Suns are coming off three consecutive wins and defeated the Boston Celtics 109-106 on Sunday. I think they'll find it hard to come up with another upset when they host the Washington Wizards Tuesday night. The Wizards managed to eek out a one-point home victory over Orlando on Sunday as they came back from a 16-point deficit at halftime. This contest is the first of a five-game road swing against Western Conference foes, and with a tricky matchup at Denver tomorrow I expect the Wizards to really want to win this game. The Wizards are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games and also 7-2 ATS in their last nine vs. teams from the West.

The Oilers are coming off back-to-back wins against St. Louis and Detroit and are a solid 5-1 in their last six home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

The good news is that the Rangers are 14-3 in their last 17 games following a loss of three or more goals and a rock solid 21-6 in their last 27 road games. Here they'll visit a Tampa Bay Lightning side that is 1-4 in its last five home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and will play its fourth game in six nights (Lightning are 1-5 in their last 6 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation). The Rangers defeated the Lightning 6-1 earlier this season, and I expect another triumph tonight.

Top Rated 10* NBA SUNDAY BEST BET Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards will be looking to bounce back from a 114-106 home loss to Toronto when they host the Orlando Magic Sunday night. Keep in mind though, the Wizards had just defeated the Raptors on the road just two days earlier and were due for a let down game. Today they'll host an Orlando Magic side who won 124-116 here at Verizon Center back in December, and I expect the Wizards to be hungry for revenge. The Magic are coming off a 110-99 victory over Miami but are just 1-11 ATS after a division game this season and 4-10 ATS off an upset win as an underdog.
03-05-17	Warriors -9.5 v. Knicks		112-105	Loss	-115	9 h 30 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Golden State Warriors Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors are coming off back-to-back defeats, but I like them to get back in the winners circle here at Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon. They're 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings with the Knicks on the road and the Knicks are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
03-05-17	Pacers +3 v. Hawks		97-96	Win	100	12 h 36 m	Show
Super Early NBA Pacers/Hawks Play: Indiana Pacers Rating: 8/10* The Indiana Pacers are heading into Atlanta seeking revenge for a 96-85 home loss to the Hawks back in November. They're 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games and well rested since a 100-99 loss at San Antonio on Wednesday. The Pacers are 15-6-2 ATS in their last 23 games playing on three or more days rest. The Hawks are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Let's go with the Pacers for an early winner Sunday afternoon.
03-04-17	Wolves v. Spurs OVER 204.5	Top	90-97	Loss	-105	11 h 59 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Saturday Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves will visit the San Antonio Spurs Saturday night, and I think the posted total looks a little light. The Spurs are coming off a 101-98 OT win at New Orleans last night, so we might see the home team lacking energy on defense ni this game, and we can also note that the over is 8-3 in the Spurs last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The Timberwolves have played improved defense lately while winning four of their last five games, but the over is 5-2 in the Wolves last seven road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Over is 7-2 in the last nine meetings in the series, and this should be another high-scoring encounter.
03-04-17	Pistons v. 76ers +5		136-106	Loss	-103	6 h 25 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 8/10* The Philadelphia 76ers have covered the spread in 13 straight games as a home dog and I think they've won 10 of those games outright. Tonight they'll be seeking revenge for a 113-96 defeat at Detroit on February 6 and they're 32-15 ATS when trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent this season. The Detroit Pistons are just 10-20 SU and 11-19 ATS on the road this season. The home team is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 head-to-head meetings and this looks like an excellent spot to take the points on Philly.

03-04-17	Alabama v. Tennessee OVER 135.5		54-59	Loss	-108	3 h 4 m	Show
Saturday Afternoon CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 10-2 in the Alabama Crimson Tide's last 12 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points and here they'll visit the Tennessee Volunteers who are scoring 78.9 pgg on average home at Thompson-Boling Arena.

03-03-17	Missouri State v. Northern Iowa OVER 123.5		70-64	Win	100	16 h 29 m	Show
CBB Late Night Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Great spot to back the over here as the Northern Iowa Panthers will take on the Missouri St. Bears at Scottrade Center. Missouri State is coming off an 86-67 loss to Wichita State and the over is 6-2 in the Bears last eight games following a straight up loss. Northern Iowa lost 63-42 to Illinois St. its last time out and the over is 13-5 in the Panthers last 18 games after scoring fewer than 50 points in their previous game. We saw just a total of 107 points in a 55-52 UNI win on Feb. 12, but I think we'll see this game fly over the posted total.
03-03-17	Blues v. Jets OVER 5.5		0-3	Loss	-110	15 h 46 m	Show
NHL Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The St. Louis Blues will visit the Winnipeg Jets at MTS Centre Friday night, and I think they'll put on a high-scoring show for the crowd. The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a 6-5 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday and had taken a 5-4 OT beating at Toronto prior to that defeat. The over is 38-13-5 in their last 56 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game and we can also note that the over is 6-0 in Jets last six games playing on two days rest. The St. Louis Blues have struggled offensively lately, scoring just a total of six goals through four consecutive defeats but the over is 6-2-4 in the Blues last 12 when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game and 7-1 in their last eight when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game.
03-03-17	Heat -3.5 v. Magic	Top	99-110	Loss	-110	18 h 41 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The Miami Heat have won 17 of their last 20 contests, and one of the three losses was a 116-107 home loss to the Orlando Magic back last month. The Heat are 9-4 ATS when revenging a home loss this season and they're coming off a dominant 125-98 win over the 76ers (Heat are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points). The Orlando Magic meanwhile are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine overall and took a 101-90 beating by the Knicks on Wednesday.
03-02-17	Predators +112 v. Canadiens		1-2	Loss	-100	16 h 19 m	Show
NHL POWER PLAY Play: Nashville Predators Rating: 8/10* The Nashville Predators are red hot having scored a total of 19 goals through four consecutive wins. The Montreal Canadiens meanwhile have squeezed out three straight OT wins, but I think they're about to run out of luck tonight. This will be the Habs third game in four nights, and they're just 2-9 in their last 11 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation and only 3-9 in their last 12 vs. a team with a winning record. The Preds on the other hand are 8-3 in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning record and I like the price we get on the visitors in this contest.
03-02-17	Nebraska v. Minnesota OVER 139	Top	73-88	Win	100	18 h 10 m	Show
Top Rated 10* CBB TOTAL OF THE DAY Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Minnesota Golden Gophers are averaging 80.3 ppg home at Williams Arena and the over is 9-0 in their last nine home games. Tonight they'll host the Nebraska Cornhuskers who will be looking to bounce back from a 73-57 loss to Illinois, and we can note that the over is 6-2 in the Cornhuskers last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. They Cornhuskers shot just 37.5% from the field overall in the defeat, and I think they'll put up a better offensive performance tonight.
03-01-17	Rockets +1.5 v. Clippers	Top	122-103	Win	100	24 h 22 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Rockets/Clippers BEST BET Play: Houston Rockets Rating: 10/10* The Houston Rockets will be looking to bounce back from a 117-108 loss to the Indiana Pacers when they travel to LA to face the Clippers Wednesday night. They're 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up loss and dominated the LA Clippers in a 24-point victory back in December. The Clippers just barely snapped a two-game slide with a 124-121 OT win over Charlotte on Monday and they've now conceded an average of 116 ppg through their last three games. Not a good time to take on the high-scoring Rockets, and I like the visitors in this matchup.
03-01-17	Nets v. Kings OVER 215		109-100	Loss	-110	12 h 39 m	Show
Late Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Sacramento Kings took a 102-88 beating by Minnesota on Monday. The over is 8-3 in their last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home and 5-0-1 in their last six vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Brooklyn Nets should play with plenty of energy coming off three days of rest since a 112-95 loss at Golden State, their 16th consecutive defeat. The over is 4-0 in the Nets last four games playing on three or more days rest and 5-0 in the last five head-to-head meetings with Sacramento. Let's go with the over here.
02-28-17	Suns +10 v. Grizzlies		112-130	Loss	-107	9 h 29 m	Show

02-28-17	Hurricanes v. Panthers -139	Top	2-3	Win	100	12 h 16 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Florida Panthers Rating: 10/10* The Carolina Hurricanes have lost six of their last seven games and they've scored more than two goals just once over that span. They're just 7-16-3 on the road this season and more or less out of the playoff picture already. Tonight they'll visit a Florida Panthers side desperate for a win after dropping three consecutive games, but it's worth noting that they've averaged almost 37 shots on goal in the three losses. They're currently 10th in the East (just three points back of Toronto for the 8th slot) and a win here would be huge for the Panthers who have won six of the last seven meetings with the Canes. I expect the home team to come out strong here, and I'm going BIG on the Panthers.
02-28-17	Ball State v. Toledo OVER 153		82-74	Win	100	11 h 7 m	Show
CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings between the Toledo Rockets and the Ball St. Cardinals. The last meeting back on January 31 saw a total of 161 points scored and we could easily see just as many tonight. The Cardinals are coming off a disappointing 80-55 setback at Western Michigan so they'll be pumped up to score some points here and we can note that the O/U is 6-2 in the Cardinals last eight games as a road underdog. The Rockets are coming off a 87-66 win against Central Michigan, but while the under is 5-1 in their last six games overall, note that six of their last seven vs. a team with a winning straight up record have gone over the total. The 18-11 Ball St. is averaging close to 79 ppg on the season, and the Caridnals should be able to score plenty of points here, as well as the home side.
02-28-17	St Bonaventure v. Davidson -155		63-68	Win	100	8 h 34 m	Show
CBB Play: Davidson Rating: 8/10* The Davidson Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5 points and 21-6 ATS in their last 27 Tuesday games. The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are just 5-12 ATS in their last 17 Tuesday games, and I think day of the week trends are well worth to take into consideration for college sports. We can also note that the Bonnies are coming off a win but are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win.
02-27-17	Heat -115 v. Mavs	Top	89-96	Loss	-115	23 h 36 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA MONDAY NIGHT MASSACRE Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The Miami Heat have won 16 of their last 18 games following an impressive 113-95 triumph over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. They're 11-1-1 ATS in their last 13 games playing on one days rest and 9-2 ATS following a straight up win of more than 10 points this season. Tonight they'll visit the Dallas Mavericks who snapped a three-game slide with a 96-83 win over the Pelicans on Saturday, but I think they'll come up short here. Miami has won the last three in the series, including a 99-95 home win on Jan. 19, and I like the Heat to stay hot Monday night.
02-26-17	Blazers v. Raptors -4.5	Top	106-112	Win	100	19 h 10 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* The Toronto Raptors came out of the All Star break strong an they'll be looking to build on a 107-97 win against a quality Boston team when they host the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday night. They're 12-5 ATS following a win by 10 points or more on the season and they defeated the Blazers 95-91 at Portland back in December. The Blazers are coming off a 112-103 win at Orlando, but they're just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win and 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games.
