I'm not high on this Shockers team this season and have been right as they are average, but given the situation here they are worth a look.  First, they have had nearly a full week to get ready for this game.  Houston just lost their first game of the season and sometimes that affects teams a few more games before they wake up.  Houston also has their rival in SMU on deck.  I just think the Shockers can keep it within double digits

With two very hard road games coming up for Arkansas in game they will lose I think this sets up for a must win considering they just lost at home.  I really dont trust LSU on the road at all.  LSU is coming off a nice win over rival Bama.  I like the spot here for the Hogs to get it done

I actually think the betting public is on the Colts here.  The Chiefs haven't been covering recently and a large part was because of the Hunt situation.  I just think Mahomes and company with an extra week will get it done.  I know Reid hasn't been great in the playoffs but this is also his first time with a QB like Mahomes.  The betting public loved the Colts last week and cashed and will be on them again.  I think KC wins easily

I like Iowa here at this price even though I would say the spot favors Ohio St trying to avoid their 3rd straight loss, but they dont pass the eye test to me and I think the Buckeyes have been overrated due to their hot start.  Iowa has seemed to start playing the last couple games like they did the beginning of the season.  They aren't looking past Ohio St here

This is a must win game it feels like for Texas here who had struggled in the non conference with several bad losses.  Texas Tech has also had a lot of luck lately and I feel it runs out here.  They have escaped 3 straight games with wins that could have gone either way. Shaka is on the hot seat and I think his team gets a must needed win today

How much is left in the tank here for Marquette coming back home after a crazy win and probably the luckiest of the season of any game so far.  That has them laying a couple more than they should.  Also Seton Hall had a buzzer beater against them to not cover last game as well.  If it wasn't for a 1 point loss @ DePaul, Seton Hall is undefeated in the Big East.  

Is Virginia going to blow a quality ACC team out on the road?  I just cant pass up on this price here.  Yes, Virginia is a solid team and they have been covering machines I get that.  I think Clemson is a good team and more importantly well coached.  I think this is a desperate game here following back to back road losses.  Will take the points

Oklahoma St on the road is a team I dont trust at all.  They are coming off a big win for them over Texas but I think are running into a pissed off WVU team.  WVU has lost 3 straight all as dogs with 2 being on the road.  This is simply a get right game and I think they blow Oklahoma St out

The Mavs have cooled down and the T Wolves are plating well right now.  The Mavs are just 3-5 SUntheir last 8 games. The T Wloves are 14-6 SU @ home and are coming off 3

straight wins and covers

I will take the Wizards here as the Rockets are coming off a very emotional game winning at the Rockets.  The Wizards are a better team without Wall as I have said all year long.  They have covered 4 of their last 5 games and I think this is a good spot for Washington 

I like the Terps here tonight to get the job done.  With Indiana coming off a good effort against Michigan most will be on them.  Maryland is just a solid team that passes the eye test IMO.  Considering when Indaian went on the road @ Penn st and won by 2 as 3 point dogs this is a discount with a much better team and better home court

I just think Utah is a sneaky team here and a tough place at.  Utah played tough @ Arizona and the went into ASU and won as double digit dogs.  The Huskies have been a little disappointing given their talent.  I like Utah here

The Nuggets have one of the best home courts in all of basketball.  They are 16-3 SU at home and will be wanting revenge from an earlier loss to the Clippers.  The Nuggets are getting healthy and I think this is a good spot to back them

Since the firing of Alford the Bruins have responded and you shouldn’t really be surprised by that.  I think that has them over valued considering both those games were at home.  While Oregon isn’t having the season they wanted so far I like this spot for them

I do wish Cincy would have won their last game so they will be focused but this line is too high.  Suggesting they would be -13 @ home is too high.  Tulsa is a better team than most think beating Oklahoma St and Kansas St.  I think they can keep it close here

This is the ultimate spot to back UConn who lay everything on the line. They are 0-2 to start league play with 2 road games coming up setting this one for a must win over a quality team.  I think they get the job done here tonight at home

I really like NC St here tonigh.  I think this team is very good and can hang with anyone in the country on their home floor. This game just means a lot to them as they are little brother and would love nothing more than to beat UNC.  I think they get the job done tonight 

Great spot here to fade Bama.  I had them last game as a dog and they beat Kentucky SU.  THhis is a big let down spot here.  LSU has had rest and I think they will want to make a statement following an average non conference slate.  LSU wins by 11

At this price I have to take Evansvill.  Loyla is playing well but I would say last game was lucky as Drake lost their PG so that was a tough spot for Drake.  Evansville best a healthy Drake squad at home.  They will be up for this one as Loyola now has a target on their back from last year.  Wouldn’t be surprised if Evan pulled the upset

I think this is a very good price to back Nova here.  They aren’t the same Nova team we are use to seeing but they are still good and very good at home.  St Johns is just overrated to me with that record and I think the betting public will be all over them catching points here

This is one of those classic spots and situations .  I loved Iowa St last game at home vs Kansas and they came through easily blowing them out.  So now they are ranked but traveling on the road.  I think this is a tough spot.  I know Baylor isn’t exactly the same as the past but they do have athletes. Major let down spot here

The line is telling you everything in this game.  CMU is 12-2 and at home yet catching points to a team barely above .500.  Why is that?  Simply because Akron has plsyed a tough schedule and CMU has beat no one any good. Akron is the better team and more talent they win easily

This line is inflated big time.  Iowa St was only favored by 4-4.5 @ Oklahoma St and the Pokes took them down to the final couple minute.  You can’t trust Texas here in this spot at all they shouldn’t be favored on the road against any team in conference.  i think the Pokes rally here

I will take the Jazz here as they are now getting healthier.  The Bucks will be the public side in this match up no doubt about it.  The Jazz are 6-3 SU their last 9 games.  I just think they match up well vs the Bucks and can keep this close if not win

With this number dropping I have to take Bama.  I think people are quick to forget since Bama didn’t cover vs Oklahoma that they were up 28-0 and went very conservative as they had the game in wraps early.  Clemson hasn’t seen a team like this Bama squad.  

I know the Spurs are playing well right now but most of their success has been at home.  I think the Pistons are live dogs here and they are coming off a good effort takig the Jazz down to the wire.  Pistons will want this game before they head on a road trip

I just think the love for Houston is getting out of hand right now.  Yes, they are undefeated and doing a very good job, but that has casued some major inflated lines.  I would make the argument that Memphis actually has more talent.  Not saying Memphis will win but I will take the points

I just think Louisville is a lot better than Miami.  I'm not sure how Miami responds after blowing that game against NC ST and they also have their rival in Florida St on deck.  Louisville has had plenty of time off following that loss to Kentucky and I think we get a big effort 

Maybe I am way off here on this game but I love Iowa in this spot.  They are coming off an ugly loss in which they played little to no defense and this game means a ton to them as they want a big win and also have to avoid going 0-4 to start conference.  I actually though Iowa should have been favored here and will gladly take the points

I have been down on this Shockers team this season but I think this is a good spot for them to bounce back after losing 2 straight games but both on the road.  Temple is a good team no doubt but I just think the Shockers are due for one and will respond.

DePaul is a much improved team this season and I think they will be hungry here after letting one slip away last game in the final minutes.  This will be Seton Hall's second straight road game and I think they will be in trouble.  

So Arizona St beats Kansas which I had in that game and since that they have dropped back to back games at home being favored by double digits.  ASU should be a pissed off team and take it out on a bad Colorado team.  Colorado was 6 point dogs @ Arizona who is way worse than ASU.  

I love Iowa St here today.  They have one of the best home courts in all of college basketball for those who aren't familiar.  This Kansas team if you have watched them they aren't your usual Jayhawk team this season.  They lost on the road to Arizona St who has now lost back to back games to Utah and Princeton.  Iowa St now healthy matches up very well with them.  This isn't an upset when Iowa St beats them

I like the Texans here.  I think the public love the Colts more because they remember them beating the Texans @ Houston.  I just think the Texans will shut down the Colts run game and force Luck with throw 35+ times which means a couple turnovers will likely happen.  Texans will make them pay and at this price we aren't covering a number just winning the game 

This spot here just feels like the ultimate let down for Kentucky.  They are coming off back to back emotional wins beating North Carolina and winning on the road @ their rival Louisville.  It's tough in college to play back to back road games and I dont trust them here at this number in a game I think will be close.  Bama will for sure be up for this game and I think they keep it real close and wouldn't be shocked if the upset happened 

I will take the Buckeyes here in this game.  I really like this Ohio St team going forward this season and this is a chance to put themselves on the map which I think they win this outright today.  Also a huge loss for Sparty is that Langford will be out who is a stud.  He is averaging 15 ppg and means a lot especially on the defensive end.  

This is just a crazy amount of points.  I realize Pitt hasn't played the toughest schedule, but if you have watched them they are so much more improved and have a lot better athletes.  They will for sure be up for this game while UNC could be sleep walking here.  UNC just worries me on the road as so far this season they haven't looked like themselves.  

You hate to say this early in a season is a must win but if Butler losses this which I dont think they do they know its a major uphill battle from there with 3 straight road games coming up.  Given that fact I think we get a huge game out of them today.  Creighton is playing back to back road games and they are coming off a nice road win which I think has them a little over valued.  

I like Portland here to get the job done.  I think they should be favored by at least 3 here given their home court advantage.  Portland is 14-6 at home this season and with the Thunder struggling to get passed a Laker team without LeBron does worry me, but the fact they covered I think also gives us value on Portland 

I think this is a good spot for the Suns to possibly steal one here.  They just lost a couple weeks back at home to the Clippers by 4 without Booker.  In that game the Clippers shot 53% which I think will be hard for them to duplicate.  The Suns are 8-3 ATS their L11 games. 

I'm going to take an ugly one here with the Hawks.  I doubt the Bucks will have much motivation here considering they are playing the Raptors tomorrow night.  They will be no doubt looking ahead to that game.  Hawks are also playing better going 5-3 ATS their last 8 games.  I just think we get a max effort from Hawks and little from Bucks so with 13.5 cant pass up.

This is a weird one here but I trust the talent and players that the Bruins have.  Clearly there was something wrong with what Alford was doing compared to the talent he had.  I just think with the firing that we will see a big effort and support from the Bruins here.  

I just dont think the Shockers are that good of team this year.  Memphis has played a very tough schedule here from the get go and I think they will want to make a statement in this game.  Memphis took a very good in Tennessee down to the wire on their home court.  I think Memphis blows out the Shockers

I think Miami is a live dog here tonight.  I do like this NC St team but now the love has got a little out of hand.  They have a huge look ahead game with their rival North Carolina coming to town next.  Miami needs a big win to get the season jump started.  Miami is also one of those tricky venues to play in and I think they get it done tonight.

I think this Oklahoma squad is the real deal.  Yes, the home cooking will probably be live and well in Kansas, but they aren't as good as everyone thinks to my eye.  They lost @ ASU who lost to Princeton, barely beat a down Nova team and escaped by New Mexico St and Stanford when they were favored by 15+ in each of those games.

I will take Tulsa and all the points here who I think is a very live dog.  Houston is getting a ton of love because they are undefeated right now.  Tulsa on the other hand though has beat Oklahoma St and Kansas St.  They took Utah down to the wire on the road and also gave Nevada fits on a neutral court.  This seems inflated big time

Wrong team is favored here in this spot tonight.  The Nets have came down of their winning streak but they are still a respectable 2-3 following that which is good for a non playoff team.  They also let one slip awya @ New Orleans earlier this season and with Davis being questionable I think this is a good line to grab.  Pelicans a terrible 4-15 SU on road

I will be a sucker here on this one.  The Wizards have been terrible yes, but they still have more talent even without Wall and as I have said before they seem to click better without him.  Hawks are playing well but I think Washington has revenge on their mind.  The Wiz will get Porter back tonight which is huge. 

What the heck, I love home conference dogs so lets get on it.  Yes, Tech is a better team and WVU is down there is no doubt about it.  WVU is still a tough place to play at and this will be Tech's first true road game.  WVU will be up for this game and I just wouldnt be surprised if Huggins pulled the upset

Another good one here to play.  Maryland is a very athletic team and I think they will be hungry here for a ranked team coming to town.  I think Nebraska is getting a little to much love here and thought this line would be closer to 4.  Maryland is still a tough place to play at and I'm not quite sure what to make of Nebraska right now 

I like Xavier here in what I think is a good spot.  Seton Hall is a good team but they are coming off a buzzer beater in which they defeated an undefeated St Johns team.  I think that is difficult to follow up.  Xavier has been a team to back at home with a 7-1 record.  Xavier has also played a very difficult schedule so far which I dont think is being taken into account.

I like the Clippers here tonight to bounce back from an ugly loss to the Spurs.  Philly has struggled on the road this season and with them on this road trip I think a perfect chance to fade.  Embiid is questionable as well.  Clippers get revenge form earlier this season

I will play this angle a lot as we enter conference play.  St John's just had their first loss on a buzzer beater @ Seton Hall last game.  Marquette is a very good team and I love Howard, but them on road is a concern.  Marquette has played only one true road goad game @ Indiana and they were blown out in that game.  St John's get a win and I expect this line to move in favor of them

Grabbed this one and really like Ohio St.  First, Washington hasn't live up to expectations this year and the PAC 12 was really a down conference this season.  The main factor here though is all motivation.  Ohio St will want to win this one for Meyer as he is stepping down after this game.  I think Ohio St gets on them early never lets up.

I just think Kentucky was a fraud all season long.  This team can seriously only run the ball and with a lot of time to prepare for it I think Penn St can shut it down.  Penn St has the better athletes and coach.  I actually think they will be motivated here for this game.  I will gladly lay this number

I dont think Iowa has a chance in this game.  When you look back at Iowa you realize they beat zero good teams.  This is a total mis match IMO and Miss St will be able to shut down the very one dimensional Iowa team.  Also Iowa is without their best offensive player who happens to play TE.  I think Miss St puts a number on them 

Really like the Pelicans here tonight.  They are catching the T Wolves on a back to back spot here plus Minnesota is coming off a rare road win bringing them to just 5-13 SU on the road.  They won't be able to follow that up again with a good effort given their track record.  

I like the Aggies here for the sure fact that they have a ton more talent here.  The Aggies finished the season by beating LSU and I think under first year head coach Jimbo Fisher they will be excited here.  NC ST had a pretty easy schedule and I dont think Finley their QB is anything special at all.  This could get ugly

I think this line moves in favor of the Spurs here.  Celtics were very lucky last game to come away with a win being down 17 midway through the 3rd quarter.  Spurs don't get the pub but they are 9=3 SU their last 12 clearly playing their best ball of the season.  Boston is still just an average team on the road and I think the red hot Spurs beat them.

This is just too many points for a NW team who will be fired up for this game.  They had a great year making to the Big Ten Championship.  Utah is getting their QB back here for this game but these teams are so very similar that I dont see a blowout happening.   

I will take Creighton here as I think odds makers are telling you they are the better team here.  Creighton has had some losses on the road but Nebraska and Oklahoma are very good teams.  Providence has had good success so far but are being over valued with that win over a bad Texas team.  Providence is also missing their stud Frehsman in Reeves who can flat out play.  I also think Providence is looking ahead to Nova coming to town

All I have heard is how good MSU is in the dog role.  I just think that this Oregon will be ultra motivated here with their stud QB Herbert coming back next season.  Michigan St has some major issues on offense as they had scored 24,6,6,14 to finish the season.  Oregon is a lot better than people actually think and with this low spread they take care of business. 

I see no interest whatsoever from the Bears in this spot.  They already will host a home playoff game next week and it will be against the Vikings.  Their main concern will be keeping Trubisky healthy which means a very conservative game plan and I wouldn't be surprised to see him being pulled.  Vikings have all the motivation here with a win and their in.  I think they roll Chicago

I think the betting public will be all over the Browns here.  While, I do love Baker and the Browns next year I just think they are in over their heads here.  During this nice run by the Browns they have only played 2 playoff teams and lost both by double digits.  Baltimore defense is just nasty as we saw them shut down the Chargers.  I think they get to Baker cause some turnovers and control the clock.

I grabbed this line early and no surprise it has climbed a lot.  Buffalo is a team that is still playing very hard evidence last week even though they aren't in the mix for anything.  Josh Allen provides a spark for them and their defense at home is flat out nasty. They also for sure have revenge on their minds here as they let one slip away in Miami just a few weeks ago in which they dominated the stats.

I think the odds makers have made a mistake here in this game.  This game still means something for the Texans as they want to win the division.  Also at risk is a first round home game which they want so the effort level will be at an all time high.  Jags are done plain and simple and I dont think they show up even with Bortles who lead them to a win last week

This is just too many points here for the Patriots especially given the fact that the total is 46.  If the Jets can score 14 which I think they will they can cover this number.  The Patriots just want to get the game over with a come away with a win.  The division is wrapped up.  Darnold is playing well for the Jets I still think we get a good effort from them

This Seton Hall team is very dangerous with athletes every where.  They would also love nothing more than to spoil the undefeated season that St John's has right now.  Seton Hall let two slip away vs St Louis and Louisville, but did beat Kentucky and are coming off a great road win @ Maryland.  I like this Seton Hall team to knock off St Johns who is over valued

The Grizzlies have had two days off here and are now nearly 100% healthy.  They match up very well with the Celtics athletic wings.  Boston is just 7-11 ATS on the road this season and seem to really find a groove.  

This is just a ton of points of here.  I know Bama is the real deal but I also know how they looked without a healthy Tua.  Clearly Bama has more talent and is better coached no denying that, but for them to cover two touchdowns.  I just think Oklahoma can get a few stops and Oklahoma with Murray will give them all they want on defense.  Murray is just a special player you dont see come around often and I trust him to keep this close

I like the Wizards here and most will find this odd, but its because Wall is actually not playing.  I think he hurt this team at this point.  Wizards will bounce back from an ugly game last night against the Bulls.  I also think Hornets struggle on a back to back with travel and they aren't a good team anyways

We all know the betting public will be all over the Rockets and that is one reason why I like the Pelicans.  The Pelicans have been a play on team at home with a 12-5 SU record.  It's also worth noting that the Rockets during this streak have only played 2 road games and sure enough one of those they lost on the road.  

Kentucky is really favored here at Louisville?  Odds makers have this one wrong plain and simple.  Louisville is just underrated and I think people are remembering that Kentucky beat UNC at home.  Mack is a very very good coach.  Louisville lost by 1 @ Indiana tough place and a rival game, lost by 3 on a neutral to a very good Marquette team and lost on a neutral to a top 3 in Tennessee.  Are people forgetting they really controlled the game against Michigan St at home.  I love Louisville here in a statement game for the first year head coach

I'm going to take my chances here with DePaul who hasn't lost at home yet this season.  Xavier is dealing with a couple injuries right now and they look very questionable to play this afternoon.  Yes, Xavier has played the tougher schedule no doubt, but I dont trust them in true road games as both loses came by double digits.  DePaul is the right side here

I like Florida here today playing in their home state.  This is just a pure motivation game.  Michigan had their dreams crushed when they were blown out vs Ohio St.  They had hopes of playing for a National Title, but that isn't the case now.  They are missing several key starters here who are sitting out.  Florida does have a defense and with some guys out on Michigan's defense I think Florida can do just enough to get bye

These two teams have already played and Butler came out on top.  The game was on a neutral court and the Gators were flat out terrible.  They wont shoot like that again and they for sure have revenge on the mind.

Might as well play another here to fit the mold.  Here is another home and home case where I was on the Spurs last game and they did cover winning fairly easy.  Yes, the Nuggets have some injury issues but this team is rock solid at home with a 13-3 SU record.  The Spurs are terrible on the road with a 5-11 record. 

This game just simply means more to Iowa St who some would say this is their best bowl game ever.  This program has taken a turn for the better under Campbell.  Washington St on the other hand had their dreams crushed as they were alive for the Playoffs and lost to their rival Washington and now are playing here.  Good bowl yes, but not what they had hoped for.  Also Iowas St has faced teams like them all year long in the Big 12 with the pass happy offenses.

This line will go up.  Yes this is the 2nd of a back to back and I expect the Pelicans to beat them here after letting one slip away @ Dallas.  Dallas is just terrible on the road with a 2-14 record and you cant ignore that. 

Another home and home game here as the Hornets lost in OT and I had the Nets in that game and was lucky.  I think the Hornets want their revenge and will get fairly easily here.  I'm not sure how much will be left for the Nets since they just met.  Hornets are 12-7 SU at home.

I really like Cuse here and all the motivation clearly lies with them.  They are looking to finish their on a very high note while WVU has simply no motivation as their leader and starting QB Will Grier has decided to skip the game and go pro.  WVU will fold here. 

I really like this game here for the Jazz.  First, they will want revenge from an earlier loss to the Sixers.  Philly hit 11 3's in that game which is clearly not something they do since the trade for Butler.  We all know how bad the Sixers are on the road and I think it shows up again tonight.  

This line will clearly go up as the day goes on.  I like that fact that the Kings lost ugly last night setting up a nice bounce back spot for them here.  The Lakers are obviously missing LeBron, but Rondo will be out along with a couple other who have the flu and personal issues.  I'm not sure exactly who runs this offense and make it click here.  I think the Kings look at this as a must win and will still give max effort because it's still the Lakers

So I think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  The Badgers had a down year there is no taking that away from them, but does Miami have the motivation edge for a a bowl game played in New York?  I sure dont think so at all.  The fact that Hornibrook is out I actually think is better as he really hurt them based on his health.  The Badgers will win this game on the ground and I wouldn't be surprised if it got ugly.

Not much crazy in depth here, but I just trust Duke here coming from the ACC.  The talent gap is on their side here as well.  They have the better coach and will also have a lot bigger fan base traveling to Louisiana for this game.

I will the Spurs here who have by far played their best ball at home this season but more importantly they are playing their best ball of the season going 7-2 SU their last 9.  This is a home and home situation here as well and will take the Spurs in this spot.  Also Denver has some injury concerns as well

I dont wanna step in front of the Nets here playing by far their best basketball of the year.  The Nets are 8-1 SU their last 9 games and the Hornets have struggled on the road this season.  Hornets are just 4-9 SU on road

I will take the Pistons here.  They should be hungry to get a win here following a bad lost to the Hawks at home as 9 point favorites.  They will want this game since they have a road trip coming up.  The Wizards are a terrible 4-15 SU on road this season

These two teams just met 4 days ago and Utah destroyed Portland on their home court.  Utah went in there and won by 30, that didnt leave a good taste in Portland's mouth.  With that quick revnege spot here I think Portland plays hard and this is too many points.

Boston hasn't quite live up to expectations this season, but they are still a very good team.  I also think the Sixers are very overrated especially on the road where they are 5-10 ATS.  Boston is 10-5 SU at home.  Boston beat them by 18 in the first meeting and shot bad.  I think this is a discount price.

I'm going to take the Rockets here at home even though they are without Chris Paul.  They are still playing very well winning 6 of their last 7 games.  Houston gets revenge from an 18 point loss earlier this season.  

I like the Raiders here tonight to get the job done.  This is a unique situation where this could be the last game ever in their stadium that has a very passionate fan base.  With that being on everyone's mind I think we get the max effort here.  The Raiders are playing tough covering 4 of their last 5 games.  With revenge on their mind here from a 1 point loss earlier I think Oakland gets it done tonight.  

I really like the Seahawks here are can clinch a spot in the playoffs for sure even though they will be in either way.  Seattle and Wilson have been a great home dog over the years and in a prime time game you have to take them.  Ever since the hunt issue came along the Chiefs haven't covered a game without him and in fact the Chiefs haven't covered since the first week of November.  Say what you want about KC being up a lot and teams racking up yards, but this defense doesnt pass the eye test at all.  Seattle will control the game with long drives and scores and will win this game

Yes, I know the 49ers line has been adjusted here from the previous weeks, but they are playing with a ton of confidence right now.  While the Bears have been a surprise this season I think they come in this game with no care in the world after they just won their division for the first time in a while.  This is a perfect flat spot for them coming off that hard fought division game vs the Packers with another division game on deck @ Minnesota.  I know the Niners will play hard and at this home dog price again will take them

I will take the Dolphins here as I just think odds makers are off on this one.  I think last week was a pretty big indication of were the Jags players heads are.  They laid an egg to a team that had to sign a 4th QB and he hadn't played in the NFL for quite some time.  The Dolphins have been a very good home team and are still in playoff contention.  I think they show up against a Jags team that has packed it in
