Grab this one now!!  I love Maryland here in this spot.  The whole betting public will all over Marquette with what Howard has done in this tournament backing up a 40 point performance with a 50 point performance.  Maryland has the overall better team, coach, depth, athletes.  They will have a game plan here to contain Howard and I think win the game 

Iowa showed up last night and played with a chip on their shoulder and were the better team on the court bs Texas Tech.  The thing is SDSU shot lights out against Creighton and neutral court games that is hard to follow up.  Iowa matches up well 

This Tennessee team just isn’t the same as last year.  They lost so much from the good tournament run.  So far they have played no one while Florida St has had a couple tough games.  Seminoles I trust here more

This Seton Hall team is loaded.  They blew that game against Oregon the other night

as they were the better team.  I had Iowa St yesterday vs Bama in an easy winner.  Seton Hall

just too much experience here 

DePaul little over valued here in this spot and Minnesota is look for a big time win.  

While this is a rivalry, I still find a hard time seeing how much motivation Iowa will have here.  Yes, Nebraska is down this season we all know that, but this game is to make a bowl game so we know the effort will be here.  Nebraska nearly won @ Iowa last season.  I don't think this Iowa team is very good so let's take the points here in this game

Yes, Virginia Tech is playing well, but so is Virginia here and I can't believe that this line has flipped so much in favor ofd the Hokies.  This game is to play Clemson for the ACC Title plus Virginia has big time revenge on their minds here.  Virginia Tech was only favored by 3.5 @ home vs Pitt and now are laying nearly the same on the road against a better team and a rival? I don't get the line move lets to Virginia 

You may ask yourself why is a 4-7 team favored over a team that is 1st place on their side of the conference.  Well, Miami Oh has zero motivation plain and simple as they have already locked in a spot to play for the MAC Title.  I also wouldn't be surprised to see them. rest some players as well.  Ball St could have easily represented the other side of this division.  They lost their last 3 games by a combined 8 points.  

Let's grab Creighton here as this line move is a little crazy here.  The Bluejays have a very respectable team and their only loss came in a true road game @ Michigan.  They were dogs by 5.5 in that game and by this line it is suggesting that SDSU is a bette team than Michigan and I'm not buying it

Lets' take the Cyclones here as I was against them yesterday in a winner, but they did come back and make a game of it.  However, Michigan shot the ball lights out and Iowa St was ice cold.  Bama getting some respect because of the cover against UNC.  Iowa St the better coach, better athletes.

I'm going to lay it here with the Cowboys.  The Bills I had last week in an easy winner, but you just have to think the whole schedule part is going to catch up to them.  I also think the line here clearly tells a story.  Cowboys honestly should have won @ the Patriots last week and if you took a quick glance at the box score you probably would have guessed that they would have been on top.  Dallas in a prime spot here to make a statement and I think they respond

I'm not sold Michigan is that good here.  I had them yesterday but Iowa St shot the ball terrible and they aren't even going to be that good this season.  UNC didn't cover and looked blah against Bama. I think we see a little more here today.

This is clearly a big time game but I think it means more for the Pelicans because of the trade situation that had happened with Davis.  I think the former Lakers will definitely play with a chip on their shoulder here.  The Lakers were just favored by less @ Spurs who are a worse team and the Pelicans.  

I love this Seton Hall team and they simply won't get the respect they deserve here.  Oregon does have a very good team not taking anything away from them.  The Pirates are one of those tough nosed teams that will get in your face and defend.  Public will be all over Oregon here as well.  

I had winner last night with the Shockers and will back them again here as they should be favored.  WVU had no business winning the game vs Northern Iowa.  I was actually against them as well in a winner.  I'm not sold at all in this WVU team and wouldn't be shocked if this line flipped 

I'm not buying Northwestern here.  They are getting too much respect here based on the game yesterday vs Bradley.   They shot lights out and that will be hard to repeat against a more talented team.  Pitt has faced tougher as well 

Good spot here for the Rockets too re group.  They have lost 3 straight and were just ran of their own court vs the Mavs.  Now, they have had a couple days off and I think will be ready here.  Heat are getting a ton of respect as they are the best ATS team so far.  Jimmy looks like he's out tonight as well

This is a neutral court game but being played in New York.  This Cuse team should have their way with Oklahoma St.  The Cowboys are a terrible outside shooting team and facing the length and the tough zone Cuse runs will be extra hard for them tonight.  

With what the Pacers are doing without Oladipo it has been very impressive.  This line is telling you now that Gobert is going to be out for the game for Utah.  Pacers have been great at home with a 7-2 record while the Jazz have struggled just 3-5 SU

I will take Penn St here in this game as they have the better talent and depth.  Don't let lat game fool ya with Ole Miss hitting a half courter at the buzzer to lose by 1 to Memphis.  That was a perfect spot for them with Wiseman being out.  Penn St looked really impressive in a nice road win @ G Town as a 2 point dog winning by 15

I like this Michigan team here in this game.  They return some quality players and even though they haven't looked great I think they can take dare of business.  Iowa St simply has lost so much talent now.  They already lost @ Oregon St who isn't a good team in the PAC 12.

This line really surprises me here actually.  This Colorado team is legit as they are the best team in the PAC 12 along with Oregon.  The talent gap here is huge between these two schools.  Clemson on the other hand is no where near a tournament team and lost so much from last season

I like what I saw from this Stanford team in destroying Oklahoma.  Butler is for sure a house hold name but they have one player on this team and that's it.  Stanford looks better than what most had figured and I think they won this one outright as well

This is by far one of the better if not the best MVC school in UNI.  They return so many players that are simply tough nosed kids.  West Virginia is simply nothing special and their style of play actually will feed into UNI's style.  UNI has the experience guards to handle to the press and wouldn't be shocked if they won outright

I love this Dayton team and they will beat VA Tech here.  There is no doubt the betting public will be all over Va Tech because of that win over Michigan St.  If you have watched Michigan St this year you know they are clearly down.  They simply Donny pass the eye test for me.  Va Tech might be better than what most had picked which was the worst team in the ACC, but I think Dayton rolls here

I like this Missouri team here as they are coming off a loss vs a better team in Butler.  I just think this Oklahoma team will struggle as they have so much to replace this season.  Oklahoma got absolutely smoked by Stanford as a 4.5 point favorite.  Missouri has key returners and will own the glass just like Stanford did against Oklahoma

I like the Shockers here intros match up.  South Carolina is a just a bad team this season losing some big time players.  Both of these teams have faced a common opponent in Gardner Webb and the Shockers waxed the floor with them while South Carolina barely escaped.  Also, South Carolina lost to Boston University as a 15.5 point favorite

I look for Wisconsin to bounce back here after a horrible night shooting against Richmond.  They shot 36% from the field which was just a horrible effort.  New Mexico actually shot the ball well vs Auburn but turnovers for this team is a huge concern.  

Late Add

This Duke right now isn't a team I want to back.  Their offense has been non existent the last 4 games.  It's hard to question where their head is at right now coming off a brutal loss to Cure losing by 43 as an 8.5 point favorite.  Wake is coming off two tough losses @ Va Tech and @ Clemson and this seems like a nice bounce back spot for them here

I like this Temple team as I backed them a few times this season.  The key here is that Temple still has a shot to play for the conference title.  In order to do so, they need to beat Cincy and have them lose next week @ Memphis which is possible.  So we know the effort will for sure be there.  This is too many points for this caliber of game.

This will be an all out game here I truly believe for this UNLV squad.  This will be the final game ever in Sam Boyd stadium and they are bringing all the big Tim alumni back for this one.  This will also be the final home game for Coach Sanchez as he will be fired at the end of the season so I think they will respond here with a major effort.  San Jose drummed the Rebels last season and UNLV was a 1 point favorite.  I really like the situation here for UNLV to get the upset

I will take the Bruins here who are playing well again on the 2nd half of the season.  I know last week they were blown out, but that game was very misleading if you were following it.  This is obviously a huge rivalry game and UCLA will need this game in order to make a bowl game.  I don't think USC is honestly that much better and Chip will have his guys ready

So I know the angle for Georgia here will be style points for the committee.  Though we have to ask ourselves is this team really that good?  I think this line is definitely inflated base on last weeks results with them winning @ Auburn despite being outgained there.  The Aggies defense is playing very well right now and Jimbo I do trust here in this spot.  He will have his teams and keep this within two scores

This play here on Texas is really against Baylor in this spot.  Baylor is coming off the ultimate dream crusher loss last weekend as they blew a big lead against Oklahoma to ruin their perfect season and knock them out of the playoff contention.  This is such a hard spot for Baylor to bounce back from.  Herman we all know how good he is in the underdog role.  He is looking for a big time win too end the season here and I think he gets one.

I like Illinois here as they are one of the most improved teams in the Power 5 this season.  This team is going to a bowl game and playing with a ton of confidence right now.  They have won 4 straight 2 being on the road and one of those was over the undefeated Badgers at that time.  I also think this isn't a great spot for Iowa here as they took down the Gophers last week handing them their first loss.  Iowa also has a big look ahead game with Nebraska being on deck.  This is a classic sandwich game.

I definitely think the betting public will be all over the Rockets here in this game.  The Clippers have failed to cover 4 of their last 5 and the steam from the beginning of the season has worn off on them as a public team.  Houston already handed them a loss and Clippers get revenge tonight

I had the Nuggets as my top play winner last game vs the Rockets and will back them again here in this spot.  The Celtics are on a long road trip here playing their 5th straight and coming off a tough OT loss @ Clippers.  I'm a big fan of this Nuggets team and think they get it done tonight against a tired squad 

I always like to take there home team here in the dog role when they are playing the 2nd of a home and home situation.  The Thunder took them too the wire the other night and will be motivated to come away with a win.  Clearly the Lakers are getting tons of love because of their hot start. Thunder are worth a shot here

This seems like a pretty cheap price here to back the Suns considering they were just favored by 2.5 to 3 over the Celtics.  Yes, the Pelicans are playing better after a slow start to the season but this is too much respect here.  I know Rubio is doubtful and that is why we are getting a cheaper price, but I think the Suns respond here as they are a very much improved team

So far there is nothing not to like about this Texas team.  Granted G Town has the travel advantage here, but Texas has looked the part so far especially with that big win over Purdue @ Purdue, which is a very underrated place to play. 

So we know the Rocket are the hottest team in the league right now and the betting public will love them catching points tonight.  This line will also go up during the day so grab it now.  The Nuggets though have won 6 of their last 7 games and are still one of the top teams in the West, so this line shouldn't surprise anyone.  I love the Nuggets here tonight 

This is just crazy here that the Bucks are favored by this much.  Yes, we know they are a good team but suggesting they would be -17 @ home is nuts.  This Hawks team had a rough road trip for sure, but they will bring it tonight at home and I'm not sure how interested the Bucks will be here as they have had a lot of travel themselves 

Kyrie is out here in this game again, as he was out last game.  I think we get a really good effort here from the Nets as they are coming off an ugly ugly home loss to the Pacers.  The Hornets have over achieved big time so far and I think we see them come down to earth here tonight

I will take the rebels here in this game.  Sure, they have lost 3 straight games and failed to cover last game vs UCLA.  However, those 3 games were all against the Power 5 teams and they lost to Cal and Kansas St both in OT.  I think they are way better here ignore that 1-3 record.

Let's take the vastly improved Suns here tonight.  The Celtics just lost their 2nd game of the season last night in a big effort @ Sacramento.  I like the rested Suns here with 3 days off and now the Celtics playing their 3rd game in 4 days with travel.  The line is clearly indicating this as well

I had the Bulls last week 2 Milwaukee and they really played them tough losing by 9 but the Bulls lead a lot of that game.  I always like these quick revenge games here as the betting public will still side with the Bucks.  I wouldn't be shocked if the Bulls won outright

I missed the better number here but still like the Knicks in this spot.  They definitely have this game circled here as a big time revenge spot from more than a week ago where the Cavs destroyed them @ the Knicks. 

This line has crossed some serious numbers.  The Patriots always get a lot of love.  While I'm not a fan of going against them and rarely do, I like the situation here to do so even though they are of their bye week.  The Patriots have faced to easier schedule known to man so far and their toughest opponent shocker they lost on the road SU to the Ravens.  Eagles have all the weapons here and I think are prime for a big win but at least. can cover this number

I grabbed a bad number here, but lets lay it anyway.  The Bengals made the switch to Finley last week at QB and well they got the doors blown off them by the Ravens.  I think this team is in give up mode now.  Oakland has been the nice surprise this season and I think they put their foot down here and roll the Bengals 

Late Add

Weird line here as the look ahead was actually lower than and following last weeks results they actually made the line higher which is the opposite.  Public will still want nothing to do with the Bucs here in this game, but I think we get a big effort and wouldn't be shocked to see another upset

I really like the Panthers here in this spot.  The Falcons I had last week as they pulled a big upset as a 13 point dog and beat the Saints outright.  I think it's tough to follow that up here.  The Panther have two losses the last 7 games and that is at @ SanFran and @ Grenn Bay, two of the better teams in the league.  Let's no hold that against them plus they were in the Packer game with a chance to tie it last week.  Odds makers are saying Carolina is only a 1 point favorite on a neutral? I'm not buying it

I had the Vikings last week in a nice winner +3 over the Cowboys on Sunday night football.  I dont think the motivation will be there today for them in this spot.  I also like that after the QB change for Denver Allen got his first win beating the Browns but then had a bye now and I think the effort will be there for Denver.  They will keep this close

Late Add

I like the Mavs here tonight to get one a nice big win.  This will be the Raptors 5th straight road here  and its already been a winning road trip for them and this is a flat spot no doubt.  Mavs are just 1-3 Cus their last 4 but I think we get a good effort here following an ugly loss to the Knicks.

The Rockets have been hot there is no denying that, but now they have some injuries that are making them pretty shorthanded in this game and I think the T Wolves come out on top.  Minnesota wasn't thought of to be a playoff team in the West, but so far they are playing well and I think can handle the Rockets in this spot

Let's take the Pelicans here as this line is inflated with the Heat.  I had the Pelicans last game in a winner over the Clippers and think they can pull the upset here again.  Both teams are battling injuries but Ingram returns for New Orleans and Butler is still questionable.  

UNLV is coming off their bye week and I think most know that the coach is getting fired by now.  I think we see a really good effort from them coming down the stretch with winnable games such as this one.  San Jose St really moved the ball on Hawaii and I don't trust them laying this many on the road.  UNLV will put up some points and I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the upset

I think Texas will be the huge public dog this week.  This Iowa St team is the real deal as I had them last week and it came down to a 2 point conversion in which Iowa St failed to take down Oklahoma. Iowa St has the better defense, better QB, better coach here and this a just a must win a nice bounce back spot for them.  Texas I had last week in a loser and really was disappointed as they came out flat in a great spot against Kansas St.  

I like Ga Tech here in this matchup.  The Hokies are coming off 3 straight big time games beating UNC by 2 in a thriller, followed by that big time performance @ Notre Dame and then the huge upset win over ranked Wake Forest last week.  This is the let down spot this week and Ga Tech is still playing hard this season.  I see this game being a lot closer than what most might think

I like this Florida team here in this game and don't feel the line drop is worthy here.  The reason it's coming down is because Kelly Bryant is coming back for Missouri, but several questions are still left out there.  Is he actually 100% and did this time off even help him?  It's not like he was lifting it on fire when he was playing.  Missouri offense have scored 21 total points the last 3 games.  Florida D will chew them up here.

This is one of the worst spots you can ask for here.  TCU I had them last week in a losing effort but was totally the right side as they blew that game against Baylor and lost in triple OT.  TCU has to be deflated from that showing and am shocked they are actually favored given the spot.  Texas Tech is still bowl hungry and are coming off a great showing on the road last week @ West Virginia and think they win this one outright

I don't think Nebraska and company under Frost will be throwing in the towel this season and now with them coming off the bye I think we are going to see a huge effort here in order to get the win.  Wisconsin knows they just need to win the game and that's it period.  I know the Cornhuskers are 1-8 ATS but clearly no one wants them, but I think this spot you need to back them

Sparty is flat out horrible and I don't see how they can recover from last weeks meltdown vs Illinois as they completely imploded that game.  Yes, I realize now this is Michigan St super bowl, but quite frankly I don't think this team has anything that Michigan is scared of.  Harbaugh will also have no problem here running the score up either even if it does get ugly.  Michigan's defense is solid and I expect them to create several turnovers and even a defensive TD

I’m going to roll with the Magic here tonight.  This tea is much better than they have performed so far this season.  I like the way it’s going now coming off a nice win over the Sixers.  We all know this isn’t the Spurs team we are a custom to seeing anymore.  Let’s take the Magic here

I had the Browns last week -2.5 in a winner over the Bills and like the spot here again tonight.  Maybe they needed a little fire under their ass to get things going.  The betting public seems to be falling a little too hard for the Steelers right now.  I think we see the Browns make serious push as crazy as that seems.

I like the Bulls here quite a bit tonight.  This team is going to be a sneaky one all season long.  I just think this is a great spot here to back them with the Bucks coming back home for their first game after a long road trip.  Throw in the fact that the Bucks are missing Middleton, I think the Bulls really make this game interesting.  

I like the Pelicans here tonight.  The Clippers have some question marks here and I am willing to take the chance.  We all know that Kawhi and his resting situation which could come into play here as he played last night @ Houston.  This line just seems too high with so much out in the air for this game.

I think most will run to grab the Clippers here as Paul George is going to be making his debut.  Rockets with Harden and Westbrook have managed pretty well after a slower start. The Rockets will be ready for this battle here.  I think they make a statement here tonight 

I will take the points here with the Magic in this game.  The back to back thing here is huge for Philly as we know Embiid doesn't and can't play those.  Even if he does he isn't 100%.  Sixers 3 losses this season have all been on the road.  Magic have had two days rest so the effort level is definitely on their side.

Let's grab the Buckeyes here tonight.  I really like this team and had them vs Cincy as they covered that game.  Nova lost a lot from last season and will be challenged here tonight.  This Buckeyes team is loaded across the board and have great depth.  I see no issue with them covering today

Late Add

I have backed UNLV in their first two games and they have covered both for me.  I will go right back to them here.  They were the better team on the court vs Kansas St and should have won the game but lost in OT.  Cal is worse than Kansas St and I actually think the better athletes belong to the Rebels here.  

I will lay the number here on a neutral court with Oregon.  The thing here is that Oregon still has some key pieces back from last year.  Also everyone wants to talk about Penny and his recruiting but Oregon brought in a top 5 class with two five star's.  They simply don't get talked about because it's Oregon.  I like the Ducks who have veteran leadership with Pritchard.  

I like the revenge game here with the Bulls who lost as a 2 point favorite at the Knicks not that long ago.  The Bulls remember that ugly 4th quarter performance blowing a second half 18 point lead.  I think we get a pretty motivated team here tonight and will the points with them

I like the Vikings here and I know most will be scared to back Cousins here in a prime time game and I get it.  I don't think these two teams are equal or Dallas is actually better which is what the line is suggesting.  The Vikings D here will be the difference in the game as they will force Dak to beat them.  The game last week for both teams were misleading and now we get the hook here with the better team

I'm taking the Browns here tomorrow.  Most will look at this line and obviously grab the 6-2 team as a road dog.  I just think the season is finally down to this game here and I believe they respond.  Browns are most definitely better than their record and have played a tougher schedule.  

So we get a home game here for both teams actually and I just think the Giants are that much better.  I know the Giants have some injury concerns but with the Jets laying that egg at Miami last week, I  think their season is toast.  Jones needs to take care of it better and last week was very misleading vs the Cowboys

This line is crazy inflated here.  Yes, both teams are off the bye here and Brees is coming back.  I can't see this game at all here in the blowout fashion. If the Falcons had gave up o their season IMO we would have seen it the week vs Seattle with a back up QB.  I think they would love nothing more to play spoiler so I believe the effort will be there

I love the Bears here tomorrow.  If you have followed me most this season I have been against them a lot and it has worked out in my favor.  I think now is the buy low time on Chicago.  The Bears D won't have any issue getting pressure on Stafford.  Also the Lions are banged up on offense and don't have a running game at the moment.  This is also the Bears season on the line here.  The effort will be here in a huge bounce back performance

Iowa St really laid an egg last game vs Oklahoma St losing as a 10.5 point favorite.  Now, they are getting 14.5?  This seems like a major and unnecessary adjustment to this line.  Iowa St to me is still the 2nd best in the league as they have a solid defense.  The difference here will come down to whether or not Purdy will take care of the ball.  I know people will argue that Oklahoma will be pissed and prime for a let down after the Kansas St loss, but that is also a dream crusher for them as they are eliminated from the playoffs in my opinion.  Iowa St can score enough here to keep this close

This is crazy to me here that on a neutral court Oklahoma is favored at all.  Oklahoma lost so much from last season and yes the return Doolittle but the surrounding cast is tough.  Minnesota did lose some fire power as well but they return 2 starters and bring in two transfers that will contribute right away plus they have experience coming from Vandy and Penn St.  I think Gophers win outright

Odds makers are saying here that Tennessee is better than Kentucky on a neutral field and I'm not buying it at all.  The Vols have played much better as of late and have 3 of their last 4 games.  However, those games were all at home.  They need to prove it for me to back them.  Kentucky is coming off their bye and had a lot of momentum going into it with a nice win over Missouri as a 9 point dog.  This is one they will be up for again here and a nice revenge angle

It feels like Tres Tinkle has been at Oregon Set forever well he has.  I'm not high on this Iowa St team at all this season as they have lost so much.  I know they have some transfers that will play but this will be the worst Iowa St we have seen in a while.  Oregon returns 4 starters from a team that won 18 games.  

I like the Badgers here in this game.  A few weeks ago this Wisconsin team was being mentioned in the playoff mix as they really looked the part.  Well, an ugly loss to Illinois followed up by a loss to Ohio St which was actually a close game half way through the third.  Both teams are off the bye week and and Wisky knows they can still play for the Big Ten Title which is what they had hoped for.  The Iowa offense is beyond pathetic and with a stellar Badger defense I think they will get after Stanley and company and make it very hard for them to move the ball.  

I like what I saw from this UNLV team in their first game.  Sure, we don't know much yet, but they pass the eye test.  Kansas St lost a ton from last years team including their do everything guy in Wade.  The talent they return isn't great by any means.  UNLV can match up well with this team here.

I love Bama here in this matchup.  All I have heard all week is LSU this and that.  This is the best LSU team in the last decade and Burrough is the front runner for Heisman, Bama hasn't played anyone.  Everyone and I mean everyone is all over LSU here.  When that happens it makes me love the favorite even more.  Bama has Tua back and I think he is at full strength.  This Bama team will be out to prove something and I think all this talk has motivated them even more.  Bama rolls here

This game here is another public dog of the week.  The world will love Kansas here as they are coming off one of the biggest wins of all college football season in beating Oklahoma as a 24.5 point underdog two weeks ago.  I think those are the types of wins though that really empty the tank.  Texas is catching them at the right time with the Longhorns coming off a loss and a bye I think they still believe they can play for the conference title so the focus will still be there

I really like TCU you in this game.  Baylor in my opinion is very overrated as they are coming in with an 8-0 record.  They have had a very favorable schedule here so far and were very lucky @ Oklahoma St.  TCU will be looking forward to ruining their perfect season.  TCU has the weapons here and you know this will also be a sharp vs square side

Purdue last week poured a lot into that game in beating Nebraska and that seemed to be their defining season moment. Northwestern is a bad team I get, but this is a great spot for them here as Purdue clearly isn't a powerhouse.  Northwestern has struggled big time on offense but I believe they can score some points here in this game.  Purdue is still fighting a ton of injuries here.
