NBA MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S GAME OF THE MONTH (SIDE)

The Milwaukee Bucks will be playing this game on the second night of a back-to-back, but fatigue should not be an issue after cruising to a win against Houston last night. 

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the NBA's Covid-19 protocols, but they're fairly healthy otherwise unlike the Mavs who will be missing at least six players due to the health and safety protocols, including Luka Doncic and Tim Hardaway Jr. 

The Mavs defeated Minnesota on Tuesday, but I don't think they'll have enough talent on the floor in this game to keep up with the Bucks.

10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. 

NINERS @ TITANS SIDE

This looks like a great spot to back an angry Tennessee Titans team to snap back from a loss to Pittsburgh. They've now dropped three of their last four games and need to start picking up wins to stay clear at the top of the AFC South. 

The Niners are also in need of Ws, coming into this game with the sixth-best record in the NFC, but they might be a bit gassed out after winning two in a row and five of their past six. 

In addition to the Titans to cover the spread, I also like the under as they most likely will have to ride their defense to success. 

Under is 6-2 in Titans last 8 home games. Titans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog.

MIAMI-OH VS NORTH TEXAS FRISCO FOOTBALL CLASSIC TOP PLAY

The North Texas Mean Green finished the season 6-6 straight up and 9-3 against the spread. They covered five straight games down the stretch, including a 45-23 win as a 9.5-point underdog against an until then unbeaten No. 15 UTSA team in the last game. 

North Texas is averaging 246 rushing yards per game (3rd), and they should have decent success here against a RedHawks defense that gave up 303 rushing yards (5.9 yards per carry) in an IT loss to Kent State in their last game. 

10* play on North Texas Mean Green. 

CLIPPERS @ KINGS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a great spot to back the Los Angeles Clippers who will be looking to get back on track following three straight losses. They're relatively healthy, unlike the Sacramento Kings who have seven players in the NBA's health-and-safety protocols. 

This is a big revenge spot for the Clippers after losing the first two meetings of the season. 

10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. 

LATE-NIGHT VIRGINIA TECH @ DUKE NCAAB TOTAL TOP PLAY

The No. 2 Duke Blue Devils are averaging 86.1 points per game (5th), but here they'll run into one of the best defensive teams in the nation. The Virginia Tech Hokies are holding opponents to 56.5 points per game (12th). Duke has also been solid on the defensive end lately, holding its last three opponents to 62, 67, and 56 points. 

Virginia Tech knows it needs to slow down the tempo to keep this close. 

Under is 5-1 in Hokies last 6 games as an underdog. Under is 11-5 in Blue Devils last 16 vs. a team with a winning straight-up record.

10* play on UNDER. 

LATE-NIGHT SUNS @ LAKERS NBA MONEYMAKER

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off back-to-back losses, and they'll be severely shorthanded here as they could have as many as 10 players missing due to Covid-19 protocols or injuries. 

The Phoenix Suns meanwhile are a lot healthier, and they just got leading scorer Devin Booker back from a nearly three-week absence because of a hamstring injury. 

Lakers are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 home games. Suns are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

8* play on Phoenix Suns. 

TOP-RATED 10* WOLVES @ MAVERICKS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

Two shorthanded teams will battle it out at American Airlines Center Tuesday night when the Dallas Mavericks host the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Mavs are without several key pieces due to injuries and the league's health and safety protocols. Among the missing players is Luka Doncic who is expected to miss his fifth game in a row because of right ankle soreness. 

The Timberwolves will also be without several players, but they have D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns available. The Wolves have been playing well lately coming into this game riding a four-game winning streak. They defeated Dallas 111-105 in Minnesota on Sunday. 

Timberwolves are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Mavericks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog.

10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. 

SUPER EARLY NCAAB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY  - 12:00 PM ET TIP-OFF

The East Carolina Pirates are 7-4 to the over on the season. They're shooting 37.2% percent from three-point range (49th), and here they'll face a Southern Miss team that is allowing opponents to shoot 34.5% from behind the arc (259th). 

The Eagles are coming off a 74-65 loss to UL Monroe, a game where they shot 25-of-52 (48%) from the field. east Carolina has surrendered 70+ points in back-to-back games, and I think both teams will score a decent amount of points in this one. 

10* play on OVER. 

LATE-NIGHT NCAAB TOTAL TOP PLAY

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are 7-4 to the under on the season, but I think they'll be able to score freely here to help push this game over the total. They have the second-best field goal percentage in the nation, and here they'll face a Northern Arizona team that has let a lot worse teams than Gonzaga run up the score. Over is 6-2 in Lumberjacks last 8 overall.

10* play on OVER. 

TOP-RATED 10* VIKINGS @ BEARS NFL MONDAY NIGHT MONEYMAKER

The Minnesota Vikings will be looking to ride the momentum of a 26-28 Week 14 win against the Steelers, but I think they're in for a tough game here at Chicago Monday night. The Bears are way underrated by the betting market after covering the spread in only one of their last eight games, but we can note that the Bears are 6-2 in the last eight meetings with the Vikes who are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite.

10* play on Chicago Bears. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The over/under is 73-58 in all NBA games this month and 11-3 to the over in games with a closing total of 224 points or more. 

The Rockets are allowing 112.9 points per game on the season (28th) and they have given up 116 points or more in four of their last six games (over is 5-1 in Rockets last six). 

The Rockets have the highest pace factor in the league, averaging 103.1 possessions per game, and I think they'll really push the tempo here against a Bulls team that will be playing in no rest after defeating the LA Lakers on Sunday. 

We saw 231 points scored when these two teams clashed in Houston on Nov 24. I expect them to combine for 230+ this time around as well.

10* play on OVER. 

TOP-RATED 10* CBB TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Texas Longhorns are holding opponents to 53.6 points per game (2nd) on the season, and they are 6-3 to the under. The Stanford Cardinal are 6-3 to the over, but on Nov 20, Stanford was held to 18-of-45 shooting from the field in an 86-48 loss to Baylor. Now they'll face a defense that is arguably even better, and I expect this game to go under the total.

10* play on UNDER. 

NFL BIG BET ALERT - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* GAME OF THE WEEK (SIDE)

Last week, the Buffalo Bills outscored Tampa Bay 17-3 in the fourth quarter to force overtime only to come up short in the extra period. Buffalo QB Josh Allen has thrown eight interceptions in the past six games, and here he'll face a Carolina defense that ranks no. 1 against the pass, giving up only 177.7 passing yards per game. 

Sure, the Panthers are not playing well right now, coming off three straight losses straight up and against the spread, but they are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog and at the moment, I don't think Buffalo should lay double-digits to a team like Carolina. 

10* play on Carolina Panthers. 

EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

This looks like a good "get right" spot for the Arizona Cardinals who are coming off a disappointing home loss to the Rams.

Now they get a chance to beat up on a Detroit Lions team that took a 38-10 loss at Denver last week, and has won only one game all season.

OK, the Lions have been covering the spread more often than not (8-5 ATS), but so has Arizona as well coming into this game 9-4 ATS on the season.

The Cardinals have won all seven of their road games by double digits, and I am confident they'll make light work of Detroit in this one.

8* play on Arizona Cardinals. 

TITANS @ STEELERS SIDE

Good spot to back the Pittsburgh Steelers to snap back from a 36-28 loss at Minnesota. At 6-6-1 and with only one victory in their past five games, the Steelers need every win they can get to keep their postseason hopes alive. The Titans are not playing all that well at the moment either. Their offense is just not the same without injured star running back Derrick Henry, and they've put up a total of only 46 points through their last three games.

8* play on Pittsburgh Steelers. 

SATURDAY NIGHT CAVS @ BUCKS NBA MONEYMAKER

The Cleveland Cavaliers have quietly emerged as a beast in the East, coming into this contest with the fourth-best record in the conference while riding a five-game winning streak.

The Milwaukee Bucks are in a tough spot, missing several key players due to injuries and the league's health and safety protocols, and they'll be playing on no rest after taking a 116-112 overtime loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. 

Cavaliers are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Bucks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 0 days rest.

8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. 

MIKE'S INDEPENDENCE BOWL BOOKIE BREAKER

The BYU Cougars are 10-2 SU but only 5-7 ATS on the season, 2-6 ATS as favorites of more than a field goal. 

The UAB Blazers are 8-4 SU and an impressive 9-3 ATS. The Blazers have been underdogs four times this season and covered the spread in three of those games. 

Additionally, this is a much bigger game for UAB who will be playing in a bowl game for just the fifth time while BYU must have had hopes of participating in a more high-profile bowl game. 

8* play on UAB Blazers. 

SUPER EARLY ROCKETS @ PISTONS NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Houston Rockets have played reasonably well in recent weeks, playing tough teams close while also recording more than a few upset wins. The Detroit Pistons on the other hand are losers of 13 straight following a 122-113 setback to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.

Rockets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall.

8* play on Houston Rockets. 

MIKE'S TGIF BUCKS @ PELICANS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Milwaukee Bucks were without two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and six other players when they faced Indiana on Wednesday. They still managed to defeat the Pacers by double-digits, and I think they have enough talent on the floor to take care of business against a Pelicans team that won only one of the last six head-to-head meetings. 

The Bucks are shooting 36.2% from three-point range (7th), and the Pels are allowing opponents to shoot 36.9% from behind the arc (27th). 

10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Miami Heat are holding opponents to 103.8 points per game on the season. The Orlando Magic are averaging only 101.3 points per game. 

Miami has held two of its last three opponents to fewer than 100 points, the exception the red hot Cavs who put up 105 points. Orlando has failed to break 100 points in two straight games. 

We saw only 197 points scored with a closing total of 212 points when these two rivals clashed on October 25. Six of the last nine meetings have gone under the total. 

10* play on UNDER. 

WIZARDS/SUNS SIDE

Good spot to back the Wizards who are getting no respect from the betting market after failing to cover the spread in each of their last seven games. They took a 119-105 loss at Sacramento last night, but it's worth noting that the Wizards are 28-11-2 ATS in their last 41 games playing on 0 days rest. The Suns will be without star guard Devin Booker (hamstring) for a seventh straight game and they've covered the spread in only two of their last six. 

8* play on Washington Wizards. 

TOP-RATED 10* CHIEFS @ CHARGERS T.N.F. TOTAL MONEYMAKER

The Kansas City Chiefs are riding a six-game winning streak, fueled by a defense that has held opponents to 10.8 points per game during that stretch. On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs have not been all that hot, a 48-9 win against the Raiders at Arrowhead last time out excluded. 

The Chargers' defense has also played reasonably well in recent weeks, and they're particularly strong against the pass. Chiefs' QB Patrick Mahomes has a 27-to-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio on the season, and I think he's in for a tough one here against a divisional opponent that knows him well. 

Under is 6-2 in Chiefs' last 8 games overall. Under is 11-3 in Chargers last 14 games as a home underdog. Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Los Angeles.

Under is 13-8 this season in games with a total of 50 points or more and the road team favored (3-1 to the under in divisional games). 

10* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Philadelphia 76ers will be playing on no rest after taking a loss at Miami Wednesday night, but I think they'll bounce back here against a severely shorthanded Brooklyn team. The Nets had only eight players available against the Raptors on Tuesday, and while they won that game, I think they'll be too gassed to keep up with Philly in this one. 

In addition to Philadelphia winning and covering the spread, I also like the under as neither team is likely to push the tempo.

10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. 

SIXERS/NETS TOTAL

8* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The slumping Charlotte Hornets have won only two of their last 10 games. While they've covered the spread in the majority of those games, I don't think that will be the case here against a fairly well-rested Spurs team that has has two days off since a 112-97 win over New Orleans on Sunday. This will be the finale of a five-game homestand for the Spurs, and they need a win here to get out of it with more wins than losses. 

Spurs are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite. Hornets are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 games as a road underdog. Spurs are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings at AT&T Center. 

10* play on San Antonio Spurs. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Milwaukee Bucks will be without several key pieces due to injuries and Covid-19. Among them Antetokounmpo, Matthews, DiVincenzo who all entered health & safety protocols while Khris Middleton (knee) is a gametime decision. 

The Pacers had won three straight before taking a loss to Golden State on Monday. They are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and I think they'll be looking to make the most of this opportunity to beat the shorthanded champs, especially after losing the first two meetings of the season by a combined 28 points. 

8* play on Indiana Pacers. 

5* play on UNDER. 

5* play on OVER. 

TUESDAY NIGHT NHL PUCKLINE POWER PLAY

The Buffalo Sabres have lost seven straight and eight of their last nine. They covered the puckline in only three of the eight losses. The Winnipeg Jets have won four of their last seven, all four wins were by at least two goals.

8* play on Winnipeg Jets -1.5. 

TOP-RATED 10* TUESDAY NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Golden State Warriors trailed for pretty much the whole game before coming back to defeat the Pacser in Indiana last night. They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400, and they'll face such a team here with the Knicks only 5-9 straight up home at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks are going through a rough patch, having lost six of their last seven straight up and failing to cover the spread in each of the losses. The Knicks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog and the Warriors are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings at the Garden. 

10* play on Golden State Warriors. 

RAMS @ CARDIALS SIDE

The Arizona Cardinals won 37-20 in LA on October 3, but I expect a much better performance from the Rams in this one. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford was 26-of-38 for 295 yards and three TDs in a win against the Jaguars last week while Kyler Murray is still finding his footing following a three-game absence because of an ankle injury.

The Rams have been money against the spread in recent years, going 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings. 

In addition the Rams covering the spread, I also like the over. Over is 9-1 in Rams last 10 games as an underdog.

8* play on Los Angeles Rams.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Golden State Warriors are 18-7-1 to the under on the season, and 8-1 in their last 9 games following a ATS loss. Additionally, the Warriors are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss, and I expect them to snap back here after taking a 102-93 loss at Philadelphia in their last game. Under is 7-1 in Pacers last 8 games as an underdog.

10* play on Golden State Warriors. 

WARRIORS/PACERS TOTAL

The Golden State Warriors are 18-7-1 to the under on the season, and 8-1 in their last 9 games following a ATS loss. Additionally, the Warriors are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss, and I expect them to snap back here after taking a 102-93 loss at Philadelphia in their last game. Under is 7-1 in Pacers last 8 games as an underdog.

8* play on UNDER. 

HEAT/CAVS TOTAL

The Miami Heat are 16-11 to the over on the season, but 4-1 to the under their last 5 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 17-11 to the under, and the under is 5-1 in Cavaliers last 6 games as a favorite. Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Cleveland.

8* play on UNDER. 

BEARS @ PACKERS SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL MONEYMAKER

The Green Bay Packers won 24-14 when these two teams clashed at Green Bay on October 17. Now we got a cold December game at Lambeau, and I fully expect this to be another low-scoring affair. The Bears are averaging only 298.8 total yards of offense (30th) and 16.8 points per game (30th). Under is 16-5 in Bears last 21 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 5-1 in Packers last 6 games as a favorite. Under is 7-1 in Packers last 8 games in December.

8* play on UNDER. 

NINERS @ BENGALS SIDE

This looks like a good spot to back the San Francisco 49ers to snap back from a disappointing loss at Seattle. They'll face a Bengals team that has lost three of its last five games and failed to cover the spread in each of the losses. The Bengals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games, and standout running back Joe Mixon left last week's game with a neck injury. While Mixon could take the field, he's likely to be limited and he missed practice all week. 

8* play on San Francisco 49ers. 

BILLS @ BUCS SIDE

The 9-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are sitting pretty at the top of the NFC South, with the other three teams in the division holding 5-7 records, so it's only a matter of time before they clinch the division. 

The Buffalo Bills meanwhile will be desperate to snap back from a loss to the Patriots. This game holds more importance for the Bills than for the Bucs, and additionally, note that the Bills are 8-2-2 ATS in their last 12 games as a road underdog.

8* play on Buffalo Bills. 

NFL MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S GAME OF THE WEEK (SIDE)

The Cleveland Browns have alternated wins and losses through their last six games. They lost their lat game (at Baltimore mind you!), and I like the Browns to bounce back with a win coming off a loss yet again. They've had an extra week to rest and prepare coming out of their bye week while Baltimore was in a dogfight with the Steelers last week. 

Additionally, Cleveland's defense has been excellent at home, holding opponents to 256.5 yards of total offense and 4.9 yards per play. 

A well-rested Cleveland team off its bye in a revenge spot against a beat up and tired Ravens team? Yeah, I'll bite. 

10* play on Cleveland Browns. 

NFL GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT - MIKE'S NFC MAJOR WAGER TOTAL

The Atlanta Falcons have averaged only 10.3 points per game over their last four games. They have virtually no running game, and now Matt Ryan is asked to toss the ball around in a cold and possibly windy Bank of America Stadium. The Carolina Panthers are holding opponents to 291 yards per game (2nd), but they're lacking on the other side of the ball averaging just 19.7 points per game. They've lost three of their last four games, putting up a total of only 20 points in the three losses.

These two teams combined for 32 points when they clashed in Atlanta on October 31. Under is 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings.

10* play on UNDER. 

RAVENS @ BROWNS TOTAL

The Cleveland Browns have alternated wins and losses through their last six games. They lost their lat game (at Baltimore mind you!), and I like the Browns to bounce back with a win coming off a loss yet again.

A well-rested Cleveland team off its bye in a revenge spot against a beat up and tired Ravens team? Yeah, I'll bite. 

In addition to Cleveland winning and covering the spread, I also like the under. The Ravens are 5-1 to the under in their road games this season. Under is 5-1 in Browns last 6 games as a favorite.

SUPER EARLY BUCKS @ KNICKS NBA MONEYMAKER - 12:00 PM ET START

The New York Knicks have won only one of their last five games, and they've experienced severe scoring woes lately being held to 102 points or fewer in three of their last four games. The Bucks have been involved in mostly high-scoring games lately, but head-to-head matchups with the Knicks tend to be relatively low-scoring affairs.

MIKE' SMARQUETTE VS UCLA NCAAB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The UCLA Bruins are elite offensively, they are averaging 82.9 points per game while shooting 39.2 percent from 3-point range, but there are question marks about their defense. Note that UCLA gave up 86 points (OT) to Villanova on Nov 12 and 83 points to Gonzaga on Nov 23. 

Now they'll face a Marquette team that is averaging 74.7 points per game, which improves to 78.6 points per game at home.

JAZZ @ WIZARDS NBA MONEYMAKER

The Utah Jazz are on fire, and they're coming into this game looking to close out a four-game road trip undefeated. They are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Capital One Arena, and the slumping Wizards are not playing well right now.

The Wizards needed overtime to overcome Detroit as a five-point road favorite in their last game, and they had dropped three straight games prior to that.

Washington has major issues on the defensive end, and that'll spell disaster against this sharp-shooting Utah team that is No. 1 for field goal percentage and No. 3 for three-point percentage. 

8* play on Utah Jazz. 

MIKE'S NAVY VS ARMY COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOTAL 

The military academy games are almost always low-scoring affairs due to their inclination to run the ball rather than throw it, and recent meetings between Army and Navy have been no different. Each of the last 10 meetings has gone under the total, and last season's matchup saw only 15 points scored, with Navy generating 162 yards of total offense and Navy only 117 yards of total offense.

Mike's Top-rated 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Houston Rockets opened the season in a disastrous fashion, but they've shown resilience and are now riding a seven-game winning streak. I think that'll come to an end here though, with a blowout loss to reigning NBA champions Milwaukee. 

The Bucks have split their last four games and they have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five, but I expect a big outing from them here, after taking a 113-104 loss at Miami on Wednesday. 

10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. 

Mike's Top-Rated 10* CBB Total PLAY OF THE DAY

The Furman Paladins are averaging 85.1 points per game and they 8-0 to the over on the season, but I think Appalachian State can slow them down. The Mountaineers held Boyce to 29 points on 17% shooting from the field in their last game, and they're allowing only 57.9 points per game on the season. 

The Mountaineers 64.9 possessions per game is one of the lowest marks in college basketball, indicating they are playing at an extremely slow pace, and as an underdog, I expect them to slow it down as much as possible. 

10* play on UNDER. 

FRIDAY PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER TOTAL MONEYMAKER - 3:00 PM ET START

Watford has allowed 29 goals in 15 games, but also scored 15, putting their combined goals per game average at 2.93 goals per game. Watford has scored at least one goal in four straight games. Brentford has a 19-21 goal differential over 15 games, putting their combined average at 2.6 goals per game. 

Both teams will like their chances of winnings this game, and I don't think they'll both go for it in a wide-open game.
