Considering the Bucks were 8.5 point favorites last time @ Chicago with a healthy Giannis and now have a high chance they could be without him tonight.  I will take my chances with the Bulls here in this division rivalry.  

I feel bad for Ohio St honestly.  They go all season just routing everyone and now have to play the defending champs.  Sure, the ACC is down but Clemson shouldn't have been penalized for that.  This team brought it week after week when they clearly could have went through the motions.  Dabo will have therm ready as they feel disrepsceted here.  The Ohio St offense hasn't seen a D like this

I got no problem laying this big number here at all.  LSU should be able to name their score and keep the punter on the sidelines here.  This Oklahoma defense is no good and to add to it, they have injuries across the board.  I think Burrow and company make another huge statement 

This game is pure motivation.  Do you think Notre Dame really wants to be here playing Iowa St a team they aren't familiar at all?  I think Campbell knows the importance of this game for his young Iowa St squad.  They are bringing way more fans down here for this game as well.  Both teams have a solid defense.  I think the difference will be Purdy, the Iowa St QB making some big time throws

Let's take the Magic here in this spot.  I had the Sixers on Christmas Day as they were fired up to face the Bucks.  They also made a ton of threes which I highly doubt they can repeat. The Magic are now a healthy squad and I like them here in this spot.

The Pelicans have under performed big time there is no doubt it.  I just think here this is too many points.  They have won 2 of their last 3 road games and will be motivated here to play well.  Besides Zion, the Pelicans are now at full strength and can give the Nuggets a run here tonight

Lakers will be extremely motivated here already dropping an ugly game to the Clippers.  In fact that was the first game of the season where the Clippers ran them off the court.  The Lakers just a few days ago had the best record in the league with a 24-3 record.  Well, they have lost 3 straight now and have failed to cover 5 straight.  I think now is the time to back the Lakers

Well the Bucks are the best road team in the league with a 12-2 record.  It's hard to go against the Bucks, but if there was a team that can match up well against them, it is the Sixers.  Philly has been tremendous at home with a 15-2 record.  I think this game comes down to the wire so I will take the points with the dog

I will lay it here with the Celtics.  I know the Raptors have been a great team at home, but Boston is getting Hayward back in the lineup here.  Raptors are without Siakam and Gasol which gives the Celtics a huge edge down low.  Also, in the first meeting the Raptors knocked down 18 3's but still couldn't get the win.  I doubt they make that many today which they will need to to keep it close.

Like the Hawkeyes here tonight.  This team passes the eye test as far as a top 25 team is concerned.  So the big thing here with them is that their leader and Senior PG Bohannon is done for the year after having surgery.  I still like what I have seen from the others to step up here and perform.  Cincy quite frankly isn't the same without Cronin there.  They lack shooting and quality depth.  

Here is another good spot here to back ASU.  They are coming off their worst performance of the season getting boat raced against St Marys.  I love looking for these angles as generally they are short priced and no one wants anything to do with them.  Creighton isn't anything special, I think ASU responds from that ugly loss

Kansas St is nothing special here and doesn't deserve to be favored.  St Louis is actually a quality mid major program.  They just took Auburn who looks like the best team in the SEC down to the wire on a neutral court.  I think wrong team is favored here

I love this Buckeye team as they are one of the most balanced teams in the country.  Let's face it, who wouldn't want to take Kentucky as a dog here.  Kentucky laid an egg last game vs Utah as a 10 point favorite.  This Buckeye team matches up well with anyone and I think they should handle big blue nation here

Butler is 10-1 and the betting public will love them here today.  Purdue isn't world beaters here by I like the matchup here for them.  They have the guards and shooters to really put some pressure on Butler.  I think Butler has been pretty fortunate so far and their luck runs out today

No one and I mean no one wants anything to do with Providence here.  As most know you aren't nearly as good ar as bad as your last game.  Well, the Friars had their worst game of the season just getting destroyed by Florida.  This is prime bounce back spot here and I think Texas is a little overrated.  They have some ugly wins like beating Mcneese St by 1.

This is a neutral court game here played in St Louis.  I just think Illinois is a the much better team here.  We have already seen some evidence as they should have won @ Maryland only losing by 1 and followed that up by beating a top 5 Michigan team.  Illinois has the better athletes here as well

Kansas is still getting some respect since their only loss is Duke.  However, they have played a super easy schedule since that opening game.  They don't pass the eye test at all and speaking of tests, this will be their first one on the road.  Nova isn't the same team as years past, but they still have Jay Wright one of the best coaches around.  They will be up for this one and I expect them to win

I really like this Indiana team going forward.  My only concern is that the Hoosiers will be a public backed team in this game, but they are just better than Notre Dame.  The talent gap here is simply to big to ignore and I think Miller and company will have his guys ready

I like the Rebels here tonight.  I also think the betting public will love Pacific in this spot because they are 10-3 playing a 4-7 team.  The thing is though UNLV has lost in OT to Kansas St, Cal and Cincy.  This team with a little lucky could have a pretty solid record.  They also return their best shooter in Jonah who has been out for several games.

The Hornets are playing better and have been cashing tickets here as of late.  I just think given this spot they are due for a let down.  First, their energy definitely won't be as high since they are playing the Cavs.  The Hornets are also on a back to back here.  I think the Cavs know this is one they can win and will give forth a good effort here

I think the Wizards can carry on a little momentum here.  They just won their last game on the road @ Detroit.  The Bulls have been covering game as of late and that is why they are getting some respect.  I just want no part of them on the road as they are just 4-9 SU.

The betting pubic will be all over VCU here in this game, simply because they are a household name.  In no way would or should VCU be favored by nearly double digits if this game were on their home court.  College of Charleston has played a tough schedule to date and this is clearly a big game for them and I expect them to be ready here

I am really shocked that this line is so high.  It's not like Xavier are world beaters by any stretch this season.  They are coming off an ugly loss to Wake Forest and have a loss to Florida as well.  Neither one of them are tournament teams.  Western Carolina went on the road @ Florida St and only lost by 5.  Xavier has a couple bigger games coming up and I expect them to be looking ahead to those.

Let's take the Pacers here tonight.  Lakers are still winning games but they have survived some really close ones here on this road trip.  I think the Pacers can actually beat them tonight.  Kuzma may not play and Davis is banged up.  I think the Pacers are live

Betting public won't want anything to do with Arizona here.  Gonzaga is for sure the more sexy team here and their only loss is to Michigan. Also Gonzaga will get a ton of respect because of last game @ Washington.  I think Arizona takes care of business here wins by 10

I will take ASU here in this game.  I thin this team has a chance to really surprise people in the PAC 12.  Georgia is getting respect because they have some serious young talent, but Im not buying this team quite yet. ASU should have beat Virginia on a neutral.  Georgia played decent against Michigan St in Maui, but that Spartan team is bad now.  

I missed a better number but I like the Shockers here.  I think Oklahoma is a very overrated team despite having only one loss.  They have played a pretty easy schedule so far and got blown out by a bad Stanford team.  Shockers coming off a big road win @ Oklahoma St.  Also have double revenge on their minds here for the Sooners from last two seasons 

I had Rutgers last game in a winner, but lets pump the brakes a little.  That was a bad Wisconsin bball team they beat and are getting respect because of that.  Seton Hall it's easy to forgive them their last game losing @ Iowa St since they just beat them the game before in a tournament.  Seton Hall has had nearly a week off and they are just the better team here

Maybe I have both of these teams pegged wrong.  I just can't believe ND is favored by this many.  The talent edge and coaching belongs to UCLA here.  This young team will continue to get better throughout the season.  I just think UCLA is a live dog here in this match up

Super under the radar game here.  Nicholls St is a team that has really tested themselves at the beginning of the season.  They only lost @ Illinois by 8 as a 22.5 point dog, they won @ Pitt as an 18.5 point dog, they lost @ LSU by 10 as a 21.5 point dog.  Clearly this team has some athletes and aren't scared to play with the big schools.  WVU laying this amount is crazy high

This one is ugly no doubt about it.  T Wolves are struggling as old late, but I simply love this spot here.  Clippers are coming of an emotional game with Kawaih returning back to the Raptors so that was a game they did give it their all.  Now, the Clippers are in an interesting spot here because they have the back to back looming tomorrow night.  This is also the 5th road game straight for LA.  I like the Wolves in this spot.

So the books are saying there is only a 2 point difference between Miami and Orlando?  Given the fact that Lakers were only favored by the margin more @ Orlando is what they are saying.  I'm not buying that at all.  This is a clear overreaction to the Lakers being on fire right now.  Lakers were only favored earlier by 8.5 in LA.  Give me the Heat here

This is too many to pass up on here.  The Magic are more than a respectable team especially at home with an 8-5 record.  They are coming off a tough loss vs the Lakers but played very well in that game.  Rockets aren't playing the greatest right now covering just once in their last 5.  Magic will bring the effort tonight.

The Pistons here are a live dog.  The Mavs are an easy public team especially with what Luka is doing this season.  I just like the way the Pistons have been playing.  They have won 4 of their last 5 games with the only loss being to the red hot Bucks.  This is just too many here for the Mavs to be laying.

I was against the Celtics last night and they had a chance late despite being a tough spot for them.  I fully expect them to bounce back here at home where they are a perfect 10-0 this season.  The Sixers already had their way with Boston earlier this season.  Sixers don't deserve to be favored here in this spot

I like the Hawkeyes tonight on this game.  I have been very impressed with this team so far despite their leader and senior PG Bohannon being injured.  Garza will be a major problem for the Cyclones as they don't have an answer for him down low.  While in this rivalry you tend to lean with the home team, I just think Iowa is overall the better team.  Iowa St will have to shoot lights out from 3 in order to cover this number

Can a team that is 4-7 now on the road that was won back to back road games win 3 in a row?  I'm not buying the thunder here in this spot.  The Kings are playing very well themselves right now covering 3 straight and winning back to back games vs the Rockets and Mavs

Back to back nights we get a smelly line with the Big Ten.  I had Penn St last night over Maryland and lets try Illinois tonight.  I backed Illinois last game as a 11.5 point dog at Maryland and they should have won that game outright.  Illinois is a scary scary team this season come conference play with all the big time players they have.  

The crowd will for sure play into this game with Kawahi returning for the first time.  I don't think the Raptors should be underdogs here since they are 9-2 at home.  The Clippers have definitely struggled on the road this season with a 5-6 record and just 4-7 ATS.  

Let's go with Indiana here in this matchup.  The Pacers had an ugly loss vs the Clippers on Monday night ,but I think they bounce back here as they still are 9-3 at home this season.  The Celtics are getting a lot of love bu the teams they have beat recently only two of them are any good and both were at home.  

Let's take Rutgers here tonight.  I had the Badgers last game as they were due for a big time win and blew out Indiana.  I just don't think the Badgers are very good this season.  They have lost to Richmond and New Mexico already neither are great teams by any means.  Rutgers has some athletes here and they played Michigan St very tough last game @ Sparty 

I will take the Hoosiers here in this game.  They were smoked last game vs Wisconsin but they have a lot more talent than UConn here.  Hoosiers are an up and coming team this season and I like that this is on a neutrall court.  Indiana by far the better team

Grab this line now as will only go up.  Butler has been covering for the public but I was extremely impressed with Baylor last game vs Arizona.  They were much the better team and they will be again here tonight.  The length of the Bears will really get to Butler here tonight

Let’s grab Penn St here as clearly the books are begging for you to take Maryland.  The steeps are a legit team ranked In the top 5 and are only 1 point favorites.  Penn St has athletes make no mistake about it.  I was also against Maryland last game vs Illinois as they were favored by 11 and should have lost

The Red Raiders are off to a slow start this season but they have quality losses.  Sure, this isn’t the team like last year but this is an overreaction her being on a neutral court.  Louisville is very good but I will pay to see it in this environment . 

I will take my chances here in this game.  The Grizzlies got blown out a couple weeks back to the Warriors so you know they have revenge on their mind here.  The line in that game was 6.5 which is suggesting that if played @ Golden St which it is the line should be a PK.  We are getting value here with Memphis and Morant is back for this game

The Magic are playing their best basketball right now this season winning 4 straight and 5 of their last 6.  I realize it isn't against better teams, but the confidence factor is huge for them.  Bucks are clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference and with them covering 4 straight their lines are big time inflated.  

Let's take the Pacers here in this game.  They continue to be one of the surprise teams considering they are missing their best player in Oladipo.  The Clippers here are on their back to back situation and they are doing this load management which I actually think is hurting the team.  Pacers win this one

The Rams really showed some heart last week bouncing back from that brutal loss to the Ravens on Monday Night Football.  They dominated Arizona which was very impressive.  I think this is a good spot to go against the Seahawks here. Rams outplayed them in the first meeting, but fell short losing by 1.  They get revenge tomorrow night

This is now a ton of respect for the Titans.  If this game were played two weeks ago the Raiders would easily have been -3.  Now, the Raiders coming off a couple down performances everyone is quickly off them, but they still are well alive for a wildcard spot.  Yes, the Titans have played better, but the win over the Chiefs was fluky and last week was a little mis leading as the blocked FG returned for a TD changed the complexion late.  

The Texans here are simply getting too much respect IMO.  They are coming off a National Televised game in beating the New England Patriots so clearly the books inflate these lines big time when this situation presents itself.  Denver is still playing hard and the evidence was last week in a gutsy win.  Not saying they win here but can cover this big number

I like the Saints here.  Everyone seems to be high on the Niners since they gave Baltimore a great game last week.  Well, a lot of that was because of the weather conditions which kept the game on the ground.  San Fran is a great D, but they also haven't faced this air attack either.  Brees and company have a field day 

Let's take the Bills here as they are the team that won't get any respect.  All season so far we have heard how easy their schedule is.  Do we ever there about the Patriots when people are talking about them?  Give the Bills some credit here.  This is a another huge opportunity here for them and quite frankly I think they rise and play well.  The Ravens are off an emotional big game vs the Niners.  Bills have a legit home field advantage and this is too many points

I will take SMU here in this game. While I know, that SMU hasn't exactly played a tough schedule out of the gate I also think G Town is getting as little to much respect because of their win @ Oklahoma St as a double digit dog.  Those performance are hard to follow up especially back to back.  SMU has a solid under the radar squad again which this always seem to have.

Marquette obviously live and dies with Markus Howard.  While he is probably the most exciting player to watch right now in college hoops, the books also know that draws major public attention.  This team simply isn't that good as a whole.  Howard is also dealing with a concussion and he is clearly not 100%.  I look for the Wildcats to to win this game.

I'm gonna lay the massive number here with Clemson.  This Virginia team is a solid team don't get me wrong but the ACC as a whole is down big time.  Perkins the Virginia QB is very inconsistent here and that is scary when facing the Clemson defense.  I do believe the Tigers will get one defensive TD and with Virginia playing catch up, they aren't simply built for that.  Dabo also doesn't have a problem putting the hammer down on teams.

Let's take a stab here with Illinois.  Maryland is a wrecking ball there is no denying that right now.  They are loaded with talent across the board.  This Illinois team has talent as well though.  This just seems like 4-5 point to high.  Illinois will be a surprise team this season in the Big 10.  I think they can give Maryland a game here in this spot

Wisconsin coming off an ugly performance against NC St.   I think the Badgers respond here with what feels like a must win type of game.  I had Indiana in their game over Florida St which was an easy winner.  This will be Indiana's first true road test here and Wisky isn't exactly an easy place to play.

I just think this LSU team is a whole different animal in itself this season.  Burrough and company I think will light them up.  Georgia's secondary numbers are good don't get me wrong but they also haven't played really any teams with an extreme passing attack.  LSU will want to do a number on them here and won't have a problem.  Also teams with good defenses have held the Bulldogs in check scoring around the 17-23 mark.  They will need more than that if they plan on covering which I don't think they will do

Baylor blew that first meeting in Waco and you know they will be out for some big time revenge here in this game.  I think Oklahoma has been extremely lucky this season as they have dogged several late game heroics including the Baylor game.  This Oklahoma defense isn't anything special at all.  

I think this Zona team has been very lucky.  They haven't played a tough schedule by any means and they are squeaking by South Dakota St by 7, Pepperdine by 2 and Penn by 10.   Also they are dealing with some injuries and one of them is their freshman stud Nico.  Baylor shouldn't have an issue handling them here

I will take Portland here in this game tonight.  Portland had a very slow start to the season but have turned it around now.  They have won 4 of their last 5 games and will be motivated here with L.A. coming to town. Third straight Laker road game, I just don't think they can keep on shooting there percentages on the road that they are.  Let's take Portland here

I will take the Hornets here based on line value alone.  These teams already have met earlier and the Nets won and covered but were only favored by 4.5 @ Brooklyn.  So basically based on that game the Hornets should be a PK or favored here in this spot creating some nice value catching 3.  Hornets are playing better going 3-2 SU their last 5 games.

I had Iowa in their last game @ Cuse and they won outright by double digits as a 4.5 point dog.  They actually match up very well with Michigan.  I know the Hawkeyes have some injuries right now which is a concern, but they are playing tough D right now.  Garza has been a handful down low and Iowa has been tested this season.  I think they can give them a real game

The Blazers are on a back to back situation here but I will take them coming off an ugly loss last night to the Clippers.  They should be eager for a bounce back here after the Kings have already handed them a loss earlier this season.  Portland has struggled this season but have played better overall recently

I like UNLV here.  Don't let the Rebels record fool ya here.  They have lost 3 games in OT and those were to Kansas St, Cal and Cincy.  Those all are quality teams here but the fact their record isn't good we are getting good value.  Fresno St has one division win and that was against Winthrop by 3 points.

I do the Buckeyes here.  I think UNC will be getting some love because of their recent game against Oregon.  The thing is though that the Tarheels don't pass the eye test to me and the Buckeyes are a great match up against them.  Also UNC is injured and Anthony isn't 100%.  The travel situation off that tournament isn't great for UNC.

I love the Jazz here tonight.  I was against the Lakers last night in a loser and will go against them again here tonight as they are on a back to back.  The betting public will obviously be all over the Lakers here again as a dog.  The Jazz coming off a bad road trip, but should be extra motivated here and they are great at home with a 8-1 record.  I think the Jazz win easily tonight

This line will go up throughout the day so grab it now.  This SDSU team is a legit top 20 team.  All their transfers are playing so well and together.  I don't think people truly realize how good they are. Flynn the transfer from Washington St is leading this team and I think they can blow the doors of Colorado St.

The Heat burned a lot of of energy last night in winning at the Raptors by 1.  This is a great spot to go against them here and hence why the line is a little high.  Well, the Celtics have the rest edge here with a couple days off.  

I'm not so sure the Hawks shouldn't be favored here in this game, but will take the points with them anyways.  They are playing better covering 3 of their last 4 games here.  The Nets will for sure be a public backed team in this spot, but I don't see the motivation angle here for the Nets.  They are still banged up

How many close games can Virginia sneak out here this early in the season?  This team might be 7-0 but they are down compared to last years team big time.  Purdue has been battle tested here playing the likes of Texas Marquette VCU and Florida St.  Purdue is also a sneaky tough place to play and I like them to get the so called upset.

I think the betting public will jump all over Duke here and the points.  Duke, hasn't looked like world beaters by any means this year and neither has Sparty but this line is clearly telling you who they think will cover here.  Sparty is a better team than Duke right now and the home court advantage for Sparty is huge

I like the Nuggets here tonight.  They are 8-2 at home and are playing well right now. The Lakers had their winning streak snapped and those are hard to recovery from.  This Nuggets team is loaded and they match up well with the Lakers.  I like them here in this spot to win the game 

I like the Hoosiers here in this spot.  I know they haven't played anyone so far and Florida St has been tested, but the talent edge definitely belongs to Indiana.  Florida St is simply getting credit for their one possession wins over Tennessee and Purdue.  I also think the betting public will be all over them here as they are the that is ranked 

The whole world and I mean the whole world will be on Michigan tonight.  Why wouldn't you take Michigan coming off that great performance in the Bahamas?  The thing is this Louisville team is absolutely loaded and I just think the situation here is tough for Michigan coming off that high.  This is a prime let down spot here

I actually think this game should be closer to a PK.  Cuse has shown absolutely nothing so far this season, but granted they have a tough home court.  The reason why this line should be lower is because if this were played in Iowa City, Iowa would be favored by more than 2.  Iowa is coming off a nice tournament in beating Texas Tech.  Losing to SDSU is nothing to be ashamed of as they are a top 20 team.  I think Iowa wins this game outright tonight 

Ole Miss is coming off what will be their worst game of the season against Oklahoma St.  They got rolled by 40 and shot 26% from the field.  This is a prime bounce back spot here for them tonight.  Butler is undefeated but this will be their first true road test.  

Boy the Gophers really let one slip away last game facing Depaul.  They shot horrible from the field and still only lost by 5.  Clemson was projected to be one of the worst teams in the ACC since they lost so much talent and experience.  They are off to a very surprising start and given the records alone here I think the public will love Clemson especially since they have covered 6 straight.  Minnesota bounces back here

I will take my chances here with the Jazz.  We know the betting public will be all over the Sixers here.  Utah played yesterday and were blown out by the Raptors and given that I think we get a much better performance from them.  Utah matches up well the Jazz here.

This line will jump during the day.  We should be getting a pissed of Pistons team here after losing back to back games vs the Hornets.  Pistons are much better than they have been playing so far and I would imagine now healthy they have a fire under them.  The Spurs are down and that is no surprise.  They are coming off a huge effort in beating the Clippers and Alridge is out here today as well

I like the home and home game situations.  The Pelicans lost a hard fought game @ the Thunder last time out by only 4.  They shot horrible from the outside though in 28% from three.  You have to expect that to turn around here on their home court.  

Does it get any better with Andy Reid off the bye?  The simple answer is no as he is the best in the league off the bye week.  The Raiders last week got gashed by the Jets and you think it will get any better with a healthy Mahomes now?  I think the Chiefs are sitting on a monster offensive game here and have their way

I can't believe this line has flipped so much here.  Odds maker are saying that the Bucs would be nearly a double digit favorite at home while last week alone the Jags were just +3 on the road to to the Titans.  Foles will be back home and should be more comfortable now.  This is a major overreaction here.

Browns are hot right now and responding when their back are against the wall.  I know this is a public side, but with all the injuries and QB switching for Pitt I think they are in trouble. The Browns rush D has been lights out the last 5 weeks and now with Hodges at QB I don't his arm can beat them

This might be the public dog of the week, but I also think this is an overreaction here as well to the Ravens.  They are coming off a Monday night blowout over the Rams where Lamar became the clear front runner for MVP.  I just really think this Niner defense is the real deal here.  I'm not saying they shut Lamar down, but they can contain the overall run game.  Plus, the weather isn't going to be great either and wouldn't be shocked to see this line drop a couple points in the morning

The Bengals don't wanna go winless no team does.  With that being said I think we get major effort from them knowing that for them this is a winnable game.  Dalton is backcourts at QB which will provide a spark no doubt.  Jets getting a ton of respect here, but the Redskins, Giants and Raiders are exactly anything to brag about
