The Nuggets have one of the most underrated home courts in the NBA.  They are an impressive 19-6 at home this year.  Boston right now isn't playing great ball at all.  They are now just 1-5 SU their last 6 games.  I think this is a tough spot here for Boston coming off that thrilling game against the Warriors.  They also have some injuries with Smart and Rozier.  

Wisconsin has sure had a bad year, and I know Nebraska is playing decent right now with a 7-4 conference record.  I do think a large part of the Badgers struggles is because of their schedule.  They have played 5 of their last 6 on the road which is just crazy.  I think they get revenge here on Nebraska at a short price.  

I really like Tech here tonight against Clemson.  There is really one main reason here and that is the fact that Clemson lost Donte Grantham who was their leading rebounder and 2nd leading scorer.  They miss him a ton it and it will show as the season goes on.  Tech has only lost one home conference game and that was to the best team in the country in Virginia.  I believe this line drops as the day goes on 

Indiana St is worth the look here vs Bradley.  Indiana St may only be 5-4 in the conference, but they have had their fair share of close losses.  Bradley is coming off a couple big wins, but both of those were at home.  Also worth pointing out that they haven't won a conference road game yet either.  

Maryland still has a sour taste in their mouth after getting beat by 30 at Michigan St earlier this month.  I am high on this Spartan team, but lets be honest they have had a huge favorable schedule so far in the Big Ten.  The two hardest teams they have played, they have lost SU.  Maryland is a tough out at home with a 12-1 record.  

Notre Dame is starting to see their season slip away here losing straight games.  Well, the last 3 game were all against ranked teams.  They have had their battles with injuries along the way as most know.  I think we get a really good effort here.  Va Tech I want no part of in this situation.  I backed them last game over UNC and they ended up winning by 11.  This is a terrible spot for the Hokies.

I have had success this season for or against Iowa St this season.  In their last two home games in this role as an underdog they have won SU and their last two road games they were destroyed.  Iowa St is on the outside looking in right now, but a win here would go a long ways.  I also give them the edge since they play in a lot tougher conference than Tennessee.  

Maybe I am way off here, but I just can't stomach backing TCU here.  TCU is coming off their biggest win of the season beating West Virginia, but that was on their home court.  They have lost their last 3 games SU on the road.  I know Vandy doesn't have a sexy record but getting 5 points here is a lot considering they are only catching 2 against Kentucky and were actually favored by 3 over Bama 

Surprised this line has gone up over night.  I thought Bama would get the nod here actually.  Oklahoma is an auto fade on the road for me.  They have lost and failed to cover their last 3 road games.  Throw the fact that they are coming off a huge win over Kansas which I had.  Bama now has Sexton back in the lineup.  Bama is 9-1 at home and really need a huge win like this to keep tournament hopes alive 

I love Duke here today as this is the biggest game of the day.  They will want to make a huge statement against a Virginia team that has been red hot.  The thing is with Virginia is that they have had the easiest schedule possible so far in the ACC.  Now, I'm not taking anything away from them but just go look for yourselves.  This Duke team is a lot different than what they have seen.  Duke creates huge mismatches here especially in the paint and I think they expose Virginia 

Haven't been a fan of this Tech team all year.  They still get a ton of respect because they are ranked.  They have failed to cover now in 5 straight games.  South Carolina is starting to play very good ball.  They have won 3 of their last 4 games which includes wins @ Florida and @ Georgia and a home win over Kentucky.  This team is playing with a ton of confidence.  

The Knicks being favored on the road?  Big no thanks for me considering they are 6-19 SU and are now playing their 2nd of a back to back.  Yes, I know the Suns aren't world beaters by any means but on their home court here they should at least be favored by a couple points.  

I think the Lakers are being over valued here winning 7 of 8 games.   Only one of those wins came on the road and it was against the Mavs.  The Bulls have been playing well since healthy and I think they get the job done here tonight.  

The Pelicans are starting to play a lot better here and I will take my chances here.  The Pelicans have won 6 of their last 7 games.  They will be extra motivated here to take down the Rockets.  The Pelicans played them tough in the first game only losing by 7.  I wouldn't be surprised to see them upset the Rockets here

I'm not a fan of this Wizards team.  There is simply too much talent on that team to play like they do.  The only thing they have going for them tonight is having two days off after getting embarrassed by the Mavs.  The Thunder are playing well right now winning 5 straight games and I'm sure Westbrook and company haven't forgot about the 22 point loss @ Washington earlier this season

Ohio St sits at 18-4 and 9-0 in conference play.  They are clearly one of if not the most surprising team in the country this season.  Now the odds makers are catching up the Buckeyes making their lines too large.  I think Penn St is actually better than Maryland and Ohio St was only favored by 5 over them.  So, clearly now that the Buckeyes have had the continued success the line keeps sneaking up there.  Penn St has a ton of talent and can defend the 3 ball well.  I dont see Ohio St winning by double digits here

SMU is still getting a lot of respect for recently beating Wichita St.  They shot 64% from the field that game which is just crazy.  They could have beat anyone that day.  This is just too many points for SMU to lay here given the fact they are 2-5 on the road.  UConn is nothing special by any means, but they are 8-2 at home.  

I like Missouri here tonight on their home court as I think Auburn is one of the most overrated teams in the country.  Missouri should be hungry here coming off just an ugly game shooting 27% from the field.  The fact they only lost by 11 is miracle when you shoot that bad.  Missouri is 9-1 at home with their only loss being at the buzzer by Florida 

Louisville is another big time over valued team here.  They are 5-1 in conference play and go figure their only loss was to a team that is in the top half of the conference.  They have played some pretty easy opponents.  Miami really needs this one here as they sit 3-3 in conference.  I'm not a believer at all in this Louisville team 

Super quick turn around here for Nebraska as they played Monday night.  They took the Buckeyes down to the wire and clearly were up for that game considering Ohio St is first in the Big Ten.  I think it will be hard for them to match that here tonight.  Rutgers has simply been a bet on team at home as they are 7-1 ATS.  

I think we see a good ole fashion beat down here from Kentucky.  Coach Cal will have his guys ready here to play coming off back to back losses.  I also think that Miss St is over valued here as they racked up a ton of wins before conference play inflating their record.  They are 0-5 ATS in games away from home.  Given the situation I think Kentucky responds big time here

Remember about a month ago how Minnesota was a top 20 team in the country and they were the talk of the Big Ten entering conference play.  Well they came crashing down in a hurry.  This is the ultimate gut check game here for the Gophers if they want to make the tournament.  I did back NW their last game as they fought from behind and covered against Penn St.  The main thing here is these teams have recently played and NW just embarrassed Minnesota.  NW shot 50% from the field and a crazy 45% from 3.  Minnesota couldn't hit sand if they fell of a camel.  Gophers respond tonight 

I think it's time to fade away here on Bama who has won and covered 4 straight games.  They key was though 3 of them were at home and the road win was @ LSU who is nothing special.  With Sexton still being hurt is a huge concern on the road.  Bama does have a huge look ahead here this weekend with OU and Trae Young coming to town.  Ole Miss is a team that gets overlooked.  They have covered 3 straight and 4 of their last 5, but only have 2 wins.  

This Kansas team continues to be extremely overrated.  Sure, they have won 5 straight, but I cant remember a team that all 5 of those games came down to the last minute and they survived all of them.  Oklahoma is will hungry for a big time win following two straight losses.  

Iowa is coming off a terrible loss where the couldn't even show up against a highly rated team.  I think the Hawkeyes do show up here playing a team just as bad as them.  Wisconsin is 1-7 on the road this season.  They struggle shooting big time on the road 26% from three land.  Iowa should respond if they have any heart with a big effort here.

This line scared me to be honest seems too low here for Denver.  I think Denver will have the motivation here after having two days off and dropping their last home game to the Suns as big favorites.  Portland little over valued here winning 3 straight as all 3 came on their home court 

NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY!

Really like Baylor here tonight against Kansas St.  Baylor is looking for a big win in conference play.  They have been on the wrong end of some tough games losing by 3, 3 different times already in conference play alone.  

Kansas St is being over valued comnig off back to back home wins over TCU and Oklahoma.  Both were very good spots for the Wildcats.  Kansas St ultimate let down spot here.

This won't be a popular play at all, but lets take a shot here.  I know the Grizz are banged up by quite franjly it hasn't stopped much as they have covered 4 straight and 6 of their last 7 games.  This has the feeling of the ultimate let down spot for the Sixers here is the main reason going against them.  They have won 3 straight games which included the Raptors, Celtics and Bucks.  How will they handle this game?  Will this young team treat this one like the other?  I highly doubt it 

This just seems to high here.  I have said time and time again this isn't your usual UNC world beating team.  Virginia Tech really needs a signature win right now if that want to make the dance.  Not saying they do win, but they are 10-2 at home.  UNC has struggled against the number only covering 1 time in the last 7 games.  

I think Indiana should be favored here.  What Coach Miller has done in this turn around effort for the Hooisers has been very impressive.  They laid a complete egg last game @ Michigan St who was a pissed off team coming off a Michigan loss.  Before that though, they won 3 straight.  Maryland is has the guard play and are coming off a win and cover themselves.  I think this is a huge look ahead here with Sparty coming to Maryland this Sunday 

I actually shocked at this line when it came out.  I did have the Vikings last week as they won on maybe the craziest last play we have ever seen for the fact it wasn't a hailmary.  They were not only very lucky to win, but to also even cover the 4 I had them at.  Now they are favored by over a field goal on the road in a game for the Super Bowl?  

Nick Foles isn't getting enough credit here plain and simple.  He is more than a capable QB here and the fact he has a great defense behind him at home.  I honestly thought the Eagles would be -1 here or so.  I really expect this line to drop a lot closer to game time 

Let's take Southern Illinois here.  UNI is coming off two good wins in beating Valpo and Drake.  Those were both on their home court and given their situation then they were desperate for a win and wanted the Drake game big time as it was their rival.  Southern Illinois is 8-2 at home they aren't getting much respect since they have dropped 3 of their last 4 which all those 3 were on the road.  

Wrong team is favored here in this game.  Valpo is a team that is a lot better than their 11-9 record.  They have suffered several close losses here in conference play.  They are 2-5 in the conference while Loyola is 5-2.  This Valpo team man handled Drake the best team in the MVC which I had a couple games back.  Valpo defends their home court well with a 7-1 record.  

I backed NC ST in their last game as they won and covered against Wake Forest.  This Wolfpack team is just a whole different animal at home.  They have beat the likes of Clemson and Duke.  They need more quality wins as the season goes along to get into the dance.  Odds makers giving Miami too much credit since they ranked.  

Hornets are starting to play better as of late winning 3 of their last 4 games.  Where they have the huge advantage tonight is the rest.  They have had two days off while this will be Miami's 4th straight road game and second of a back to back.  

Maybe I am way off here, but I have been dead on this Drake either for or against.  I dont think they should be an underdog at all here.  This might be the best team in the MVC although their overall record doesn't like as good as Missouri St.  Drake is undefeated at home this season as well.  

I'm gonna ride Providence here for several reasons.  First they will want revenge as Creighton beat them down by 19.  Providence is also rolling right now winning 3 straight.  Creighton coming off a blowout win over Seton Hall, but now they are without a very key piece in Krampelj who tore is ACL.  This will prove to be a huge loss

I like Seton Hall here to bounce back after getting destroyed by Creighton last game.  Seton Hall will want this one in a big way as Xavier is ranked 11th right now.  Xavier last two road games both resulted in a loss.  I think today does as well

I like Northwestern here today to get some revenge on Penn St.  In the first meeting Penn St just blew them out.  The line is low here because NW has lost 4 of their last 5 games.  I believe NW knows this is a crucial game as their next 3 are all on the road

I just dont believe that Texas Tech is this good.  Are they a good team, yes they are are they a legit top 10 or 15 team no way I dont think. Iowa St has played on the road 3 of their last 4 games with their only win coming at home.  I wouldn't be surprised here to so them win SU

Iowa has been very disappointing this season.  I do think they show up here with a big effort.  This is always a emotional time as Iowa remembers Christ Street a former Hawkeye who was killed in a car accident while playing at Iowa.  This game will be packed.  I also think Purdue will be over looking them. 

I like the Suns here tonight with all the points.  This team was blown out at the beginning of the month at Denver.  The Suns were missing some players at that time and are still without Chriss, but everyone else is back.  Denver has only covered once in the last 7 times.  Suns have had two days off here.  Not only will Millsap be out tonight but Murray will be also 

This is more of a play against UCLA.  I really dont trust this team and am not a huge fan of Alford their coach.  They were laying double digits last game vs Colorado and lost SU.  Oregon St has been solid at home with a 8-2 record.  They are just 1-3 SU their last 4 but two of those games were 2 point losses and one of those was @ Arizona St a top 15 team.  Oregon St wins this outright 

I normally stay away from the smaller conferences because they are so hit and miss, but I like UT Arlington here as they are playing the 1st place team in the Sun Belt Conference in UL Lafayette who is 5-0 in conference right now.  Lafayette has been rolling teams but those 3 games were all at home.  UT dont be fooled by their record as they have played some very hard teams out of conference.  Sure, they have had their bumps in a couple games, but with the 1st place team coming to town I think they have their full attention.

This NC St team is pretty easy to figure.  They are just awful on the road and pretty good at home.  On the road they have lost by 30, 16, and 17 their last three games.  Well their last two games at home they have beat two ranked teams in Duke and Clemson.  The Wolfpack are 11-1 SU at home this season.

Wake is 1-5 SU their last 6 games I think this team might be throwing in the towel for the season now.  This team really struggles to defense the 3 ball as they allow teams to shoot nearly 40% behind the arc.  That is a recipe for disaster especially when playing on the road in the ACC

Maybe I'm just a hater on this Buckeye team, but I can't lay the points with the despite them being undefeated in conference play.  Their 2 Big Ten road wins were @ Rutgers last game only favored by 5.5 and @ Iowa as 1 point favorites.  

Northwestern has under achieved this season there is no doubt about it, but I believe they respond here after getting beat down to Indiana last game.  Some of their struggles was because their PG McIntosh had missed a few games.  This will be his 2nd game back and wouldn't be surprised to see NW win this one

I was hoping for more points and it probably does go up a little bit more, but none the less will take Texas here.  This team plain and simple needs a huge signature win.  Not that Tech will be over looking Texas here but they are coming off their biggest win of the season beating West Virginia.  This is a big big game for Shaka Smart and company.  This is why they brought him here

This won't be a popular play at all, but I have to go against the Pelicans here who are coming a huge OT win last night @ Boston.  This will be their 4th game in 6 days with travel in every one and as I mentioned now a back to back situation.

The Hawks are coming off a nice win over the Spurs and let's see if they can add something more to it.  They have covered 3 of their last 4 games.  The Hawks also took the Pelicans down to the wire earlier losing by just 1 @ New Orleans 

I'm going against this Wizards team tonight as I just dont like the make up of this team.  They have won a few games lately and I know this is their first game of a 5 game road trip and teams normally play hard in this spot.  But, this team has only covered once in the last 8 games.

The Hornets are starting to play a little better as of late going 5-3 SU their last 8 games.  This is a key stretch here for the Hornets with a lot of home games coming up.  This is their chance to get back in the playoff discussion.  

Auburn has been a surprise team to say the least with a 16-1 record.  I think most people and me included thought they would come back to earth when conference play started because of their easy and I mean easy non conference schedule.  They have done nothing wrong in the conference so far, but I think tonight is the game where Bama gets them.

This is still a huge rivalry even though it's basketball now.  Throw in the fact like I mentioned how good Auburn is playing and also how much improved Bama is.  Bama is 3-2 in conference play with a 1 point loss @ Tennessee.  They could easily be 4-1 right now.  Roll Tide get it done tonight 

We all know the love the betting public has for Oklahoma now and their freshman stud in Trae Young.  He is coming off another 43 point performance as the Sooners had a big win over TCU in OT.  Now Oklahoma has their rival Oklahoma St on deck and I think this spot is one to fade.  Kansas St should have beat their rival Kansas last game losing by 1.  The Wildcats dont draw the headlines, but there is nothing wrong with losses to Kansas, West Virginia, and Texas Tech.  This is the right spot to back them

I have been on the right side of a lot of these two games either for or against.  This is a rivalry for these schools that most dont know about.  UNI finally rang the bell last game vs Valpo beating them and covering the number.  As I have mentioned a lot this season I really like this Drake team, but they have had their fair share of good breaks a long the way.  UNI has a great history in this series and they pull the so called upset against the MVC best team 

Miss St just lost their first home game over the weekend losing to Auburn.  They have now lost 3 straight and have only covered 1 of their last 6 games.  That is why we are getting a short price here with Miss St.  Vandy is nothing special as I think they will start to tank here this season.  They had a huge game with Kentucky on Saturday ad doubt they will be up for this one.  They are also 0-6 SU on the road

I like Providence here tonight at home where they are 8-2 SU this season.  I did back Butler in their last win as it was a desperate game for them avoiding a 4 game losing streak.  In their 3 conference road games they haven't covered in any of them.  Providence rang the bell as they were in a tough spot coming off a win over Xavier and backed it up in a let down spot @ Depaul.  

I backed the Heat yesterday in an easy win over the Bucks.  Yes, this Miami team is on fire right now, but the Bulls have been playing very well for the last month.  They are 13-7 SU their last 20 games which is impressive considering the start they had to the season.  I also like that Miami has beaten the Bulls in both meetings giving the Bulls a nice revenge angle tonight 

I will take the chance here with the Nets based on this spot.  Knicks are coming off an OT loss vs the Pelicans yesterday.  The Knicks have also beat the Nets both times this season so the Nets will want revenge.  The Nets have been covering machines as of late as well covering 8 of their last 9 games.  Knicks are a terrible 4-15 on the road 

I normally don't play these type of line in college ball, but I dont trust NC St at all.  This team is in a terrible spot beating 2 ranked teams back to back on their home court in Duke and Clemson.  This Virginia team never gets the press they deserve, but all they do is win and cover.  Also worth noting that NC St on the road lost by 30 to Notre Dame and 16 to Clemson.  Notre Dame was without their best player in that game as well 

I think the Vikings have a huge home field advantage here in this game.  The Saints are a fast team that play indoor on the turf.  The conditions here dont favor them at all and especially Brees for that matter.  Vikings to me have the best defense in football.  They were 6-1 ATS at home this season as well. Saints just an average football team on the road with a 4-4 record 

I will be a sucker here and take the Heat.  If you polled people and asked them who the 4th best team in the Eastern Conference is it would take them forever to guess the Heat.  Well despite injuries along the way Miami is in 4th just 1.5 games behind the Cavs.  Miami gets back Johnson and Winslow today.  Bucks are coming off a tough loss vs the Warriors.  Miami has won 6 straight and 9 of their last 11

This is strictly a spot play here.  Texas is going through a lot right now with Andrew Jones being out now with cancer.  They won their last game in thrilling fashion for him against their rival in TCU.  This is obviously very difficult to get up for here.  Oklahoma St really needs to add some quality wins and they start here tonight

I will take the Eagles here at this price.  I just think we are seeing a huge over reaction to from last week with the Falcons.  Nick Foles is more than capable starter here as he went 2-0 when taking over for the Wentz injury.  I say 2-0 because I don't count their last regular season game against the Cowboys as they were resting guys and nothing to play for there.  Eagles have the better defense and will gladly take the 3 points here with the home team

I really believe the wrong team is favored here.  Iowa St is the desperate team here as they ahve yet to win a conference game.  I am personally not a fan of Coach Drew for Baylor as he always has a ton of talent and underachieves so much with it.  Baylor goes from 10 point underdogs @ West Virginia to 3 point road favorites here?  Something seems way off there,  Iowa St grabs their first conference win

We get a pretty hungry Xavier team who is comnig off back to back losses both on the road though and against quality opponents.  Creighton is playing well having won 4 straight but 3 of those were on their home court with the only road game being @ Georgetown who is one of the worst in the Big East.  

This looks like a good spot to back the Mavs here at home.  They have quietly been playing pretty good ball here going 6-3 SU their last 9 games.  Their 3 losses during that stretch were all by 4 points or less.  The Lakers are getting some love here because they have won 3 straight, but all at home.  They beat the Kings and Hawks who are terrible and then a injuries Spurs team which I had the Lakers last game.  

TCU is 13-3 and all 3 of their losses have came in conference play.  They could easily be 16-0.  They did lose to this Oklahoma team already by 1 point.  Their other 2 losses were to Kansas by 4 and Texas by 1. The revenge factor is huge here for me and I think this TCU team is actually legit while Oklahoma still gets way to much love for my liking.  

I dont like this South Carolina team at all as I think now they are the worst team in the SEC.  Georgia has way more talent here and might have the leagues SEC player of the year right now on their team.  They have done nothing wrong at home with a 8-0 record.  

It wasn't that long ago that this Minnesota was in the top 15 and now your telling me they are catching nearly double digits.  I was against Purdue last game @ Michigan +1.5 and that was a winner.  I think Minnesota and Michigan are very similar and as I have mentioned before Purdue isn't a top 5 team 

I will take the Bucks here tonight catching too many here at home.  The Warriors have been great team to back after a loss, but that isn't their concern anymore as they strictly care about postseason.  Curry won't be playing tonight which only adds value here with the Bucks.  I also think the Warriors will be looking ahead here to the Raptors and Cavs following this game.  

Maybe the Cavs bounce back here and beat me, but I just can't back them here.  That was a pathetic showing last night as Toronto just destroyed them.  The Pacers have had no problem with the Cavs this season beating them twice already.  The Cavs are just 3-7 SU their last 10 games.  Thomas is also out tonight for rest. 

This is a game where Butler really needs it.  They have lost 3 straight since beating #1 Nova.  All 3 losses were games decided in the final two minutes.  With 2 road games coming up for Butler I think they know the importance of this one.  I also look to fade 3 point shooting teams on the road.  It doesn't always work, but most of time they tend to shoot themselves right out of the game if things don't go well right away

The Lakers are playing with some confidence right now winning back to back games.  I think they get another here tonight as the Spurs continue to be short handed.  No Leonard, Parker, Green or Gay.  Lakers are now back to healthy with Ball back they win this outright

Any team that pulls an upset on the road as a double digit underdog and plays on a back to back I will fade every single time.  Throw in the fact that the Clippers beat the best team in basketball this is a huge let down spot.  I don't trust them here to back that performance up again.

The Hawkeyes have had a rough start to the season and they were pegged as a team to look out for in the Big Ten.  I think we get a huge effort from the Hawkeyes who are looking for their first conference win.  

We all know who the betting public will be all over here tonight.  They will back Colorado and the points all day long since they just upset both Arizona and Arizona St on their home court.  This is the ultimate let down spot here for Colorado.

Look at Colorado's first two games of conference and they were waxed on the road against both Oregon schools who aren't very good.  I think they get waxed here tonight as well against a good USC team 

Let's back Northwestern here as their PG and glue guy McIntosh returns back to the lineup.  Northwestern was completely lost without him as they were destroyed their previous two games.  I need to see more from the Gophers as well as this will be their first true road test in conference play and it sounds like Coffey won't play tonight.   

When Anthony Davis isn't going to play I will look to fade the Pelicans every game.  I dont think Cousins is capable of carrying the load for this team.  The Grizz have been just a bad team there is no doubt about it having their own injury issues, but they have been covering numbers lately and when bad teams cover numbers we need to keep riding it.  

This is a huge bounce back spot for the Thunder here.  They were embarrassed on their home court last night against Portland without Lillard and maybe they were looking ahead to this match up.  With that I think we get a max effort here as the Thunder look to split the season series with them.  The T Wolves have been playing well coming off a beat down over the Cavs which I did have.  Give me the more motivated team in this ESPN showdown 

As I have mentioned a lot this season you have to ride the bad teams when they get hot and fade when that wears off.  The Bulls for nearly a month stretch would have made you some good money just backing them blind every game.  That has worn off here as they are just 1-5 SU their last 6.  Throw in the fact that they have beat the Knicks twice gives New York the huge revenge factor.  The Knicks have been a team you want to back at home with a 15-7 SU and ATS record 

Grab this one early as it will only go up.  I don't trust Notre Dame on the road again without their two best players.  This is a weird one here as these teams have already met and Notre Dame won by 9 but Tech covered for the game.  We have seen a big adjustment in the line, but Tech will want revenge plus the Irish do have North Carolina on deck for the weekend 

I think this line will will flip as the day goes on.  When there are key injuries I always look to play against teams.  UCF has been red hot and I have backed them a few times.  Tonight though they will be without their leading scorer in BJ Taylor which is tough to over come.  

I know UConn is just 2-5 SU their last 7 games but losses to Cuse @ Auburn @ Arizona Wichita St are nothing to be ashamed off.  They are 7-1 @ home and this is a desperate game and I think they respond 

All of the sudden Purdue is a top 5 team?  I'm not buying it at all.  Yes, they are a good team, but if you have watched them they aren't even a top 10 team.  I think Michigan has the pieces to pull this one off.  Michigan is a perfect 9-0 on their home court.

This line is a telling story to me about what odds makers think.  Central Mich is 12-3 and Eastern Mich and 9-6 favored by 4.5.  A large part of that is the schedule as Eastern has played a lot of road games, while Central mostly home or neutral.  Eastern is coming off their first home loss of the season, but I think they were caught looking ahead to this game tonight.  I don't trust Central on the road as they just lost by 16 @ Kent St and that game was a PK.  

Obviously Texas Tech was a little underrated, but now I think it's time to sell after this hot start.  I was against Oklahoma in their last game @ West Virginia which was a winner, but I think they bounce back on their home court where they are a perfect 7-0

Really like Alabama here tonight.  I just think the match up is bad for Georgia.  The Bulldogs won't be able to run the ball like they did against a bad Oklahoma defense.  Bama will shut that down in a hurry and make the freshman QB Fromm beat them with his arm.  I also dont think that is possible and if Bama get's up early I think playing catch up will be extremely tough for them.

The T Wolves are starting to play a little better here going 8-3 SU their last 11 games.  The Cavs have only covered 2 of their last 12 games.  I think the Wolves have a chance to make a statement here and continue their run.  I need to see more from the Cavs now that Thomas is playing as I think they need more time 

The Bucks are one of the most inconsistent teams IMO this year.  They have so much talent but continue to hover around the 500 mark.  I like the Pacers here as they snapped their 5 game losing streak and that was due because of Oladipo returning to the line up.  

I like Portland tonight against the Spurs who are still battling injuries. Portland already took the Spurs down to the wire 3 weeks ago on their home court but lost by 2.  I look for them to get the revenge with Leonard Parker Green and Gay all out tonight

I actually think the betting public will be on the Knicks here because the Mavs just lost at home to the Bulls.  I just cant trust this Knicks team as they are 1-7 SU their last 8 games.  The Mavs even though losing to the Bulls have still covered 5 of their last 6 games. Beasley being hurt and questionable for the Knicks is a lot bigger loss than what people realize 

Like Miami here tonight as I believe they were caught looking ahead to this game since they laid an egg @ Georgia Tech last time out.  I know this is a rivalry, but Miami will be more hungry here considering Florida St is coming off a huge win over North Carolina.  I'm actually not that impressed with that win because UNC is down this year.  This is a nice short price here

Tennessee is 0-2 and Kentucky is 2-0 to start conference play.  Both teams in both games were involved in some close battles that could have gone either way.  Kentucky is very lucky especially last game to beat LSU who many think including myself they are the worst team in the SEC.   The Vols respond here and get their first conference win

Everyone and their mother knows who Trae Young is by now.  He will be seeing something tonight in Morgantown that is way different.  This place will be rocking tonight and I think the pressure gets to them here.  There is no shame in losing to a team like West Virginia.  Home/veteran team gets the job done tonight 

This is all about the situation here.  Vandy is coming off a nice win over Bama, but this team hasn't won away from home all season.  The fact they are coming off that win and they have a huge look ahead with big brother next game in Tennessee it's time to back South Carolina.  Also SC is coming off a tough home loss so I expect them to bounce back here

I really don't need to say much about this game.  It's pretty clear cut here Notre Dame is without their two best players here in Colson and Farrell.  When your missing two key guys like that your asking a lot of role players to step up and fill their shoes.  Since those guys are veteran they would be familiar with the Cuse zone, but now thats a huge question mark.  I think Cuse takes care of business easy

I think Baylor knows what is at stake here against their in state rival Texas.  Baylor will look to avoid starting 0-3 in the conference and this is a big game because their next two are on the road.  Also Texas was lucky I though their last game @ Iowa St winning in OT.  Iowa St had open shot after open shot and couldn't make anything.  

I was very impressed the other night with Virginia at their rival Virginia Tech.  They play great defense and are of the most efficient offenses in the country.  North Carolina lost @ Florida St and are still getting a lot of respect.  UNC doesn't have the horses they normally do and they really struggle on defense.  That won't be a good combination play this Virginia team

Was very impressed with Missouri last game vs South Carolina.  This team still has a bunch of shooters and will be deadly at home here.  This is a game they need for a huge win.  I also think Florida is being over valued because of their last win @ Texas Am because the Aggies were so banged up and missing key players.  Mizzou gets the job done 

I like the Blazers here tonight to lay one down on the Hawks.  Portland was just beat by 15 @ Atlanta last week.  The trailbalzers shot a terrible 28% from the 3 point land and we all know that won't happen on their home court.  Lillard is probable here tonight.  The Hawks are just 3-16 SU on the road.  I don't think this will even be a contest

This seems like a very good discount here to back Miami.  They are a very well rested team here only playing their 2nd games in 6 days while the Knicks are playing their 3rd in 4 nights.  

The Knicks have been a team all season that you look to fade on the road as they are just 3-13 SU.  Also the Heat will want revenge because they laid an egg to them @ MSG in the first meeting.  

The Heat are starting to get healthier.  They are still missing Winslow and Waiters, but they have enough here to cover this number.  

I always like these situations here when two teams have just recently played and it was a close game.  That is the case here as the Raptors beat the Bucks in OT @ Toronto.  The Bucks will be licking their chops here for revenge.  Also Lowry will play tonight, but he isn't a 100%.  I like Milwaukee to win outright 

Let's look here at Tulane.  I think they are a live underdog tonight vs SMU.  SMU is for sure the house hold name and they are getting respect because of that.  This SMU team though is different though and are't as good as previous years.  Tulane is a team that simply plays well at home.  They have also been tested playing the likes of North Carolina and Florida St.  SMU has a huge game on deck next @ Cincy.  Tulane can keep this within double digits
