The price is right here to back the Knicks as a short home favorite.  I also believe the betting public will be all over the Lakers here as they have won back to back road games.  I think people are forgetting that this Lakers team is still just 4-8 on the road with those two wins.  

This seems obvious here which is always scary, but I think the Rams respond here.  I do like this Eagles team a lot but I think their schedule has helped them out a lot.  Last week against the Seahawks was the first game in their last 6 games they played a team with a winning record.  Well they lost that battle.  Rams are behind them here for home field advantage which I think plays a role here as well

I dont believe that this Jets team deserves to be favored over anyone.  They have won one road game and that was against the Browns.  I know Denver has had a rough go at it, but I think they give a good effort here in a game they believe they can win.  

Late NBA Add

Like the Panthers here because it seems like they have been over adjusted.  The Vikings were 3 point dogs @ the Falcons last week and are now 3 point favorites against a very similar team.  This game is Carolina's season IMO we get huge effort. 

I backed the Niners last week as a underdog and they won SU.  I think this is great value because the Niners are't tanking.  They want to play well now with Jimmy G under the helmet.  I also think he is so much better than Savage for Texans

Let's take Dallas here as I think after last weeks win over the Redskins gives them the confidence to still believe they can make the playoffs.  The Giants are a mess right now firing their coach last week.  I think Dak has a breakout game here against a pretty poor Giants defense 

I'm really just banking against the Bulls coming off an OT win to win 2 in a row.  Also the fact that Porzingis returns is a huge uplift for the Knicks.  

Like this spot here for the Hornets as they are due for a major bounce back after losing to the Bulls at home last game.  I also think the Lakers poured a lot of effort into their last game winning at Philly and wont be that motivated this game 

Like Arkansas here tonight against the Gophers.  They bounced back nice last game destroying Colorado St and I think they get a quality win over a ranked team. A team that losses on the road as 9 point favorites is hard to trust and that was what Minnesota did. 

I like the Bucks to get some revenge here tonight after getting blown out by the Mavs 3 weeks ago.  The Mavs are dealing with some big injuries right now including their stud rookie Dennis Smith Jr who is questionable tonight.  If he plays he clearly won't be 100%.  The Bucks are 5-2 their last 7 games. 

I have backed this Arizona St team several times this season in winning efforts.  I think this team is legit and right now are the best team in the PAC 12.  I'm not sure how good or bad St Johns is right now playing a easy schedule.  I know ASU has Kansas on deck, but I think Hurley has these guys playing with a lot of confidence and they get it done tonight 

I have faded the Nuggets here the last two road games and won both.  This team is just hurting right now with the injuries to Milsap and Jokic.  The Magic have actually won 3 of their last 5 games.  

I will back the Pelicans here against the Nuggets.  Denver is hurting pretty bad right now without Jokic and Milsap in the lineup.  They just lost on the road to the Mavs by 17.  We are catching a short price here because the Pelicans have dropped 4 of 5, but 2 of those were against the Warriors.  This is a discount here on New Orleans 

Really like this Alabama team here going forward led by freshman Collin Sexton.  I think we are getting a discount here because Bama off a home loss to UCF and has failed to cover 4 of their last 5 games.  Rhode Island's only true road test was against Nevada and that resulted in a loss.  I think we see Bama bounce back here tonight 

I'm not buying into Wisconsin's win over Penn St last time out as a 5.5 point dog.  I still think this is a very flawed team and I don't trust them to win back to back games on the road.  Temple comes in off a loss to GW but GW shot 60% for the game they simply couldn't miss.  Temple does have a couple nice wins over Auburn and South Carolina 

I know this will be a public play, but have no choice to back the Aggies based on what we have seen from Zona so far.  This is a neutral court game, but will be played in Phoenix obviously will be a pro Wildcat crowd.  I am just impressed with this Aggies team this season.  I wanted to see a lot more from Zona last game vs UNLV and they barely escaped that one.

I've cashed on Virginia a couple times this season, but now they are being asked their toughest task here tonight.   The Cavs are very well coached, but their style once they face an athletic team that likes to get up and down the court they really struggle.  They struggle because of the pace they always try and play at, well tonight going on the road @ WVU who will press them all game and dictate the pace will be something most of these players aren't use to.

If you haven't seen Nova play this season you are missing out.  This team lead by Brunson has a chance to be very special.  The main reason here for this pick is the fact that Gonzaga has to travel so far.  I like Gonzaga, but must admit a little surprised by them so far.  However, the tournament they played in was still on the west coast on Oregon and they haven't played a true road game.  While I know this isn't a considered a true road game it might as well be going across the country.

This might seem like a big number because this is a rivalry game but Florida is just so much better.  I got lucky going against this team last time out against Duke as they blew a big double digit lead against them.  Florida to me is the third best team in the country behind Duke and Mich St. Florida St hardest game so far was @Rutgers and they were lucky to escape there with a win

Really like the Mavs here tonight laying a short number here against the Nuggets.  Denver is being over valued here given the fact they have won their last two games, but those were against the Bulls and Lakers.  The Nuggets will be without Jokic and Milsap tonight.  I also don't think there will be any motivation from the Nuggets.  

Like the spot here for the Pelicans who are catching the Warriors at the right time.  Warriors covered last night in a blowout win over Miami.  Now on a back to back here I like the Pelicans to keep it within double digits.  The Pelicans only lost by 8 the first time around at home and should have no problem keeping it closer given that better situation this time around 

I like this spot here for the Hornets as they seem to be a team that plays really good at home and really bad on the road.  They have now lost 4 straight games, but 3 of those were on the road.  The Magic got their road win yesterday beating an injured Knicks team.  I like the Hornets in a blowout here tonight. 

I think odds makers have been slow to adjust here on Wisconsin. They clearly aren't the same team we are use to seeing.  They were just blown out on their home floor against a average Ohio St team.  This young Penn St team had an impressive win on the road @ Iowa.  

This to me is just pure over reaction.  The eagles are currently the hottest team around covering in blowout fashion.  They now have to travel to maybe the toughest Home field in Football to win at.  The Seahawks have a lot to play for still while the Eagles pretty much have things locked up.  We get a big effort from Wilson here

Love the Saints here as I’m not a believer in this panther team.  I think the Saints have it figured out here and will just pour the points on.  Carolina really struggles on offense so any empty possessions will only put them further behind the 8 ball.  Saints win in a blowout

The Vikings are now the hottest team in the league right now.  I know the Falcons have had a couple lucky breaks playing teams when they aren't at their best, but I like them here in this spot.  Their yards per play are the best in the NFL again.  Getting this team at home under a field goal I think is a steal and too hard to pass up

I'm not a fan of this Lions team as I think they are extremely overrated.  They benefited earlier in the season because they had the best turnover differential for the first few weeks.  I just think Baltimore has the defense here to get shut down Stafford and company.  Also the Lions recent wins you can't be excited about, Browns, Bears and Packers.  

I think we are seeing two different directions for the teams in this game.  Jimmy G is finally starting for the Niners and obviously that is an upgrade and I think the Niners will be excited here to have some new blood in their lineup.  I think the Bears are throwing in the towel now losing and not covering 4 straight.  This should be a PK will gladly take the FG 

All Wisconsin does is win Football games.  Yea, they don’t have the flashy type players but they do all the little things correct and that is why they are successfull. Ohio St offense has been rolling since their loss @ Iowa.  I dont think Barrett who isn’t 100% can get the explosive plays against Wisconsin and their #1 ranked defens.

I do think this is an actual must win game for Iowa here today. They have had some struggles to start and really need something to change.  Coming off a blowout loss against Virginia Tech should light a fire under them.  

I do like Penn St, but I need to see more from them especially on the road.  With a young a team I always look to back them at home instead of the road.  

I like Rhode Island here to get the job done today.  They really haven't missed a beat with Matthews being out.  They have two losses one to Virginia who looks very good and the other @ Nevada is actually a lot better than what people think.  Providence I just need to see more from and another case with a first true road game test

Love Georgia here getting revenge from earlier this season.  Auburn has now beat both Georgia and Bama and are now getting prices like that.  Both those games were at home though

Now Georgia is catching 3 because of that when they were 2.5 point favorites the first time around.  The line has been adjusted by 9-10 points and that is way too many. 

Georgia wins this game out right on a neutral field

The price is right here now for Ole Miss.  Clearly odds makers have adjusted the line now since Ole Miss has only covered one game this season.  This will be Virginia Tech's first true road game of the season and I think they are in trouble. 

Another revenge game here.  Yes, I know the Sooners have been rolling but I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see TCU win this game outright.  They have a legit defense and the Sooners defense is one I don’t trust at all.  Mayfield is getting a lot hype right now also because he will Win the Heisman and I think most people will lay this number no problem based on the first go around but I think it’s much closer

Always like these angles here playing against a ranked team on the road laying points.  In college basketball you see it every year when the upsets happen.  I think Purdue is being a little over valued here with their recent home win over Louisville.  Maryland has plenty of good guards that match up well 

I like Seton Hall here in a neutral court match up, but this game is in New York not to far from Seton Hall and they are use to playing here.  Also I think odds makers are giving Tech a lot of credit because of their blowout win over Northwestern.  The Wildcats shot 26% in that game so I'm not buying much into that.   Other than that Tech has played no one.  Seton Hall does have one loss to a very good Rhode Island team by just one point.  

This is one of those that looks to good too be true here.  Minnesota has more than passed the eye test to me so far in this early season.  I wonder if people are making a big deal that Bama with 3 players out scored Minnesota to make it a ball game.  I view that as the Minnesota players lost interest playing 3 on 5 and just went through the motions to get the win.  Miami hasn't played anyone and I mean anyone as they have only had one game with a line in their first 5.  

This T Wolves team might be one of the most over hyper teams coming into an NBA season with nothing to show for.  They don't to play any defense at all.  Last night they couldn't handle the Wizards who were without their best player in Wall.

The T Wolves only two recent wins are against the Magic and Suns.  Pelicans have won 3 of their last 4 with their only loss being against the Warriors.  They are also coming off 3 days rest and will be motivated for revenge after already losing at home to the T Wolves 

Maybe I'm just way off here on my assessment on these two teams.  Michigan has lost a ton and I think they are getting some respect because they have covered 3 straight and UNC was just beat pretty handily by Michigan St. Michigan lost to LSU, yes LSU who is going to be the worst school in the SEC this year.  They covered against VCU who is very down this year as well.  I think this is a route surprised it actually dropped some 

Ohio St is worth a look here at a short price on their home court.  Clemson quite frankly hasn't played anyone so far and while both teams will miss the tournament and finish in the bottom half of their conferences the Buckeyes have been tested so far.  They lost to Gonzaga, came back to beat Stanford and then lost in OT to Butler but they controlled that game.  I think that loss will serve as fire for a bounce back here

The Suns played last night and came away with a win against the Bulls.  Yes, I know it's the Bulls but we are seeing a crazy inflated line.

The Pistons are their biggest favorite role not only of this season, but maybe even all of last year as well.  They are coming off two big road wins over the Thunder and Celtics.  I don't think they will have the same energy here against the Suns.  

I actually think the Kings are the worst team in the league and the Pistons were only favored by 9 over them 

I'm going with Wake Forest here and their experience over the newly looked Illinois team.  Wake has a nice back court with Crawford and Wilbekin.  I know Wake is off to a slow start and think the betting public will back off them because of their record.  They have lost 3 games by 5 points or less so clearly it could have gone the other way.  Illnois is a young team and yes they haven't lost, but they have played no one and every game has been at home 

This is probably the trendy dog for the day but I will bite here.  I'm just not sure how good or bad Purdue is.  They lost to Tennessee and Western Kentucky before drumming Arizona, but we know how bad Arizona is.  This Louisville team by a lot of people were picked to finish 2nd in the ACC behind Duke and we all know how good they look.  I will take all the points I can get 

I'm going to lay the points here with Xaiver.  This team ion offense is really efficient as they have shot over 50% in every game so far.  Their recent game I was against them as Arizona St beat them, but the Sun Devils are now ranked and they look like a legit team going forward.  Both teams have played Wisconsin, but Xavier went on the road and handled them pretty easily.  I think Xavier is a bad match up here for Baylor

I will take the Sixers here as this team continues to be under valued by the books because they were so bad for so long.  They sit at 11-7 on the season as they have covered a crazy 13 of their lat 15.  They have won 3 straight and 5 of 6 and are 7-1 ATS at home.  I will take the Sixers here

Seems like a sucker play here but to me Duke is the best team in college right now.  They have size everywhere in their lineup and freshman Marvin Bagley is already emerging as a super star.  I did have a winner on Florida the other night but Gonzaga is down this year.  Florida will by ar need their best game if they want a chance

If you have followed this season you know I am high on this Aggies team.  I just think now is the time to sell.  As impressive as they have been and what I think of this team a true road test here is a tough task.  USC is a very talented team as well that does match up with Aggies.  USC hands them their first loss

Like Oakland here laying st short number.  They will bounce back from a bad performance last weekend against the Patriots.  The broncos are still trying to find a QB and their season is over.  If they were in a so called bounce back spot it would have been a few games ago.  

Last week the Jaga seemed like they pulled away as they covered the number but the Browns had plenty of chances to tie that game.  The Browns do what they normally do in giving the other team a defensive TD.  The cardinals season is on the line here today.  They have enough on defense here to shut the Jags down as their offense relies heavily on Fournette.  We will see a huge effort from them today.  This is a one score game either way

Arkansas seems like they are vastly improved this season.  Their opening win of this tournament agaisnt Oklahoma was impressive in my eyes.  Now I know they were blown out against North Carolina but they were only 4 point dogs.  UNC shot 50% while Arkansas shot under 40%.  UConn is down this season I'm not a fan of Oregon this season so their opening win doesn't impress me as it might others.  

I think Oregon has benefited here in this tournament playing 2 of the worst teams outside of the Portland schools.  Oregon played a bad UConn team and lost by 8 then played a bad DePaul team and beat them but failed to cover.  I trust Oklahoma a lot more as they have more talent.  

I'm just not buying the fact that Stanford is a superior team.  They are getting a lot of respect because they have beat Washington at home.  I still think in the back of Notre Dame mind that if things fall right and they have a great performance they still have an outside shot of getting in.  

I think the wrong team is favored here in this game as Arizona has really struggled on the road this season.

They are getting a lot of credit because they have Tate at QB.  I also think ASU will want revenge from last season.  The Sun Devils defense is much improved this season.  I like ASU to win outright

For the average college football fan I'm not sure people realize how big of rivalry this actually is.  They brought Fleck in here for this stage.  While he doesn't have what he needs for this year he will be throwing everything at this Badgers team to get a win.  Wisconsin is a great team but they aren't flashy.  With the styles of these two teams I think covering this much is a tough task I will gladly take the points 

The SEC conference is down big time this year.  So we have IMO an overrated Aubrun team who played the toughest team in Georgia at home and blew them out.  So I think people realize that and we are seeing the line being adjusted in favor of Auburn.  Well, for me you have to prove a lot more than that as Bama has owned this conference forever.  Last year this line was 20.5 so your telling me in a years time that Bama got worse and Auburn got this much better?  I'm not buying it.  Let's lay the points with Bama here

Since Ohio St went on the road a few weeks and were embarrassed at Iowa we have seen a whole different team.  It's almost like that loss really woke them up.  Right now they are playing like a top 4 team in the country scoring 100 points combined their last 2 games.

I was against Michigan last week at Wisconsin in a easy winner.  This team just doesn't pass the eye test because their offense is so bad.  They will be without their starting QB here as well.  Every time Michigan has had to play a better team they loss plain and simple.

Another key factor is that the Buckeyes have styles points to play for here because they can still make the football playoffs.  Urban Meyer will have no problem running up the score on Michigan 

Both teams are coming off blowout wins, but I think the Gators was more impressive.  Stanford shot over 50% from the field and yet Florida was still able to win by double digits.  That is a sign of a good team IMO.  I also think Gonzaga played a lot weaker opponent in Ohio St and the Buckeyes simply couldn't hit anything shooting under 40% for the game.

I love the Bruins here showing a lot of heart last week actually out playing their rival in USC last week.  Both teams in fact are coming off their rivals with Cal coming off Stanford.  UCLA still has plenty of motivation trying to make a bowl game and I think they will respond having a new coach on the sidelines.  UCLA is a perfect 5-0 at home and believe they can handle Cal who has been pretty poor on the road. 

Lets take Virginia here as I think we are getting good value with a team trending in the right direction.  I had this team last week at Miami and they were up two touchdowns in the 2nd half but kinda fell apart.  I dont think with what we have seen from Va Tech here recently they should be this big of favorite.  They should have lost last week vs Pitt who we know is a bad team.  They have only covered the number twice in the last 7 games and one of those was even lucky.  

No choice but to roll with Duke here after watching Texas play yesterday.  Duke was down at half yes, but they were rolling through the motions playing Portland St and wound up winning by 18.  Texas beat Butler but wow I thought Butler would look better and they just aren't a quality team this year.  Texas has a lot of hype this year but has yet to play the big boys. 

I had Arizona St yesterday as I said the wrong team was favored.  ASU really controlled most of that game and was very impressed with them.  Hurley finally has the guys he wants to build a team.  They have a quality inside game as well now which they had been missing for years.  I do like Xavier also I just think they are getting a lot of love since they are a ranked team and have covered every game this season.

Frost has these guys on a mission here to finish the season perfect.  This is a big time rivalry and UCF will want revenge.  Both teams have great offenses there is no hiding that, but the motivation is the angle I am playing.  UCF will not be stopped here and I think South Florida is being a little over valued because they have survived some very close games as being big favorites which suggests they might be getting lucky 

I think this is a good spot to back Portland here as they were blown out against the Sixers last game.  I just dont think the Nets will bring the same intensity here as they have the past two games coming off games against the Warriors and Cavs.  

I was against SMU last night taking UNI plus 8 and they won out right.  This SMU team is really down compared to the past and if you watched last nights game you would have seen that.  I think Coach Miller rallies his guys here in a big effort after losing as a double digit favorite to NC St.  

I believe the wrong team is favored here.  The Wildcats don't return nearly as much from last season and will have to rely on scoring from guys that weren't major contributors last year.  ASU returns Holder their PG and he has been running the show well so far for the Sun Devils.  I was very impressed with ASU blowout win over SDSU.  

This one just seems so obvious here as I have this veteran Seton Hall team pegged as a big sleeper this season.  The combination of Carrington and Delgado will be a lethal one two punch.  Rhode Island is already down their best player who is hurt again in Matthews.  This is played on a neutral court but I see the Pirates running away here

No choice but to take Dallas.  To me this is a huge over reaction as the Cowboys have lost to the Falcons and Eagles the last two games.  They are easily two of the better teams not only in the NFC, but the NFL.  I know Dallas has some key injuries but I think this team is simply due and are tired of hearing about everything.  I will take Dallas and believe they respond in a must win situation 

I was on Notre Dame last night -8 against LSU in an easy winner. It's all about the eye test for me and they pass it easily right now.  I think the wrong team is favored here.  I know the Shockers have a lot back and are a talented team but the way they struggled against Cal who lead a majority of the game and will be a bad team worries me.  They won and covered against Marquette which is making this line but that was more just poor shooting as Marquette missed a lot of open shots they normally knock down.  

I just think this is way too many points here as SMU is getting a lot of respect based from last seasons results.  Well now they only return 3 players and have to rely heavily on transfers.   UNI has a veteran group here and mind you two years ago the kids that are seniors now made the sweet 16 as sophomores and were contributors then.  They won't be afraid here of SMU as they have already been tested on the road playing North Carolina game 1.  Wouldn't be surprised to see the upset

I like the Suns tonight here as they have won 2 straight and 3 of their last 5.  I know they are beating world beaters, but for a young team confidence in a winning a few can go along ways.  

The reason for this pick is simple for me.  I think this young Suns team will want to stick it to Bledsoe here who returns after being traded.  Immediately after he was gone the Suns played some good ball didn't always result in wins but they played better.  

This will be the third meeting between these two teams as they played one of those back to back home and home.  Both teams won on their home court but the Grizzlies were favored by 7.5 and that was a healthy Memphis team then.  Well, now they are completely different with Conley out and the results show.   They have lost 5 straight and 6 of 7.  I want no part of this Memphis team for a while and also do you think they will be that motivated here against this Mavs team?

I like the Pelicans here tonight against the Spurs.  Spurs have really struggled on the road this season with a 1-5 ATS. They just have a big advantage here with Cousins and Davis and I think the Spurs record looks good because they have played some sub par competition as of late. 

This line seems to good to be true, but based on results have no choice but to take St Louis here.  Detroit's two wins came against Michigan-Dearborn and Houston Baptist exactly not very impressive.  They actually have a common opponent here as they both have played Virginia Tech.  St Louis beat them as a 13 point underdog and Detroit lost to them by 32 as 18 point underdog.  Like I said seems too easy but odds makers do struggle early in season with smaller schools 

First, we know everyone and I mean everyone will be all over the Celtics here.  I just think tonight is the night they go down.  The Heat actually match up with them a lot better than what people think.  They also have had two days rest while I think the Celtics could have been caught in the lime lights of South Beach last night not really caring about this game.  Boston already won at Miami earlier, but only by 6.  Heat get the revenge

I have backed the Hornets their last two games as short home favorites and they have won both games by double digits.  I think they take care of business here tonight facing a Wizards team that doesn't play much of defense at all.  I think this Hornets team is better than their record indicates because they are now healthy.  They will have a huge advantage in the paint here as well.  I think the Hornets win another fairly easy one

I was against Lafayette yesterday in a win as they played a good Wyoming team.  This is more of a play against Richmond as I think this team is flat out terrible.  Now they are coming off a ugly loss against a very physical team in Cincy.  Lafayette has way more talent.  This shouldn't be a problem here 

We should see a pretty pissed off Iowa team here today as they will want one victory on in this tournament.  This team is so much better than they have been playing right now.  Yes, they are young and that is part of the reason for their struggles.  UAB lost to Richmond who has looked just awful to start the season and we saw how Cincy destroyed them yesterday.  UAB is also coming off a OT loss which is tough to recover from on consecutive days.  Love the Hawkeyes here

I think this is a super cheap price to back Notre Dame tonight.  Yes, sure LSU beat Michigan, but they are clearly down this season as they struggled against some bad teams this season.  LSU is picked by many to finish dead last in the SEC.  Notre Dame is a legit contender behind Duke for the ACC.  Give me the Irish 

I think people will overreact and take Creighton here.  Mind you I had both of these teams last night which were both winners.  I watched both games closely and no surprise Baylor should be favored.  They were well in control of that game and Wisconsin made a late run at them.  The style of Creighton will not favor them here as they will run and gun but Baylor will dictate the pace and they have a huge advantage down low which will give them the rebounding edge as well.  

I backed the Aggies yesterday in a easy win over Oklahoma St and will fire right back with them again today.  I said yesterday this team to my eyes appears to be a top 10 if not better right out of the gates.  Penn St does have some young talent but they are getting credit for beating a awful and could be the worst power five school in Pitt.  Aggies cover again

UAB losing to Richmond opens my eyes big time.  Richmond came into yesterday without a win and lost to two bad schools and were favored in both.  They had no problem with UAB who was 3-0 which tells me UAB played dog crap for competition and they are awful we shall see if it holds true.  Buffalo played a very competitive game against the tournament favorites in Cincinnati no choice but to play Buffalo here

Pitt to me is the worst power 5 school around and it's not even close.  Oklahoma St I was against them last night and they were destroyed but will back them tonight as they should have no problem against Pitt.  I'm going into much detail here but Pitt is flat out terrible

I was more impressed yesterday with what Wyoming did and opposed to Lafayette.  Lafayette faced a sluggish Iowa team that quite simply missed wide open shot after wide open shot in the first half.  This is a Wyoming team that won the CBI last season and returns it's 3 key players from that run.  It has carried over into this season.  

I'm not very high on this Wisconsin team this year after they did lose a lot from last season.  Baylor did lose their best player in Motley, but will have the best player on the court here in Manu Lecomte.  Baylor still has some big long lengthy guys that will cause havoc especially for the style the Badgers like to play 

I'm not a buyer on this Oklahoma St coming off 3 blowout wins on their home court.  I know Carroll returns but now it may actually be a distraction as the others seemed to be playing well together.  On the other hand I came away super impressed with Texas AM in their first game just throttling West Virginia.  I might be over reacting but my eyes tells me that is a legit top 10 team.  I think the Aggies make another statement in NYC 

The Hornets broke out last night game and I back them then against the Clippers.  I know the Clippers are nothing special, but they key when is struggling they just need to get one out of the way. 

The T Wolves will definitely be the public side here with all the names they have.  However when it comes to the road they are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. 

I think what people are failing to realize with this Hornets team is that they are home team.  They have a 5-2 home record and a 1-7 road record.  Hornet get it done tonight 

It's almost an automatic play for me when a team gets blown out and I mean literally blown out at home their last game like the Magic did losing by 40.  

The Magic the first two weeks of the season were one of the biggest surprises and are primed for a nice bounce back win here before heading back on the road.  

Magic are 7-1 ATS L8 games following an ATS loss.

The Sixers are now being priced as a pretty serious team.  Don't get me wrong,  I really like this team going forward but laying 7 I just cant do especially with them coming off the Warriors who you know they gave everything to try and beat them.  

The Sixers now have caught everyone's attention so teams won't be taking them lightly like they have for years now.  With the Jazz coming off a 40 point win @ Orlando maybe they found a little something and can carry that over even without Gorbert. 

Sixers are 1-5 ATS L6 home games vs team with a losing road record 

Call me a sucker for this one but have no choice not to take Creighton here.  I know they have a couple guys banged up from the Northwestern game but I was pretty impressed with that performance and was on the wrong side of them.  We all know what is going on with UCLA right now and they are a mess.  Creighton should handle business here as this is played in KC not very far from Omaha where Creighton is located

I like this Hawkeye team this year even though they are young a lot of these guys played a ton of minutes last year.  I think they will be undervalued this whole tournament actually.  Their length and size will cause problems for Lafayette plus they can go 10 deep if they want.  Lafayette's only test was one the road @ Ole Miss who was without their best player and they still gave up 94 and lost by 18.  Iowa should handle them by double digits 

I did grab this line early as I expected it to drop but obviously that was before the QB change for the Bills.  They are now benching Taylor, but I still think this game could be close.  You can't fault Buffalo for last week the Saints now look like them old selves and are playing at a very high level.  The Chargers still don't have any home field advantage and you can expect more Bills fans at this game.  Rivers is also banged up as well even though he is expected to play.  I think the Bills can still keep this close enough 

Really like the Bears here as I think the Lions are vastly over rated.  Look back at last week and the Brows lead the game in the 4th quarter but failed to cover the 2 touchdowns.  The Bears stats are a lot better than their record.  Remember this Bears team at home has beat Carolina and Pittsburgh.  They also took the Vikings down to the wire.  Bears win outright 

I'm not buying into the Jags here and the hype.  The Browns should have easily covered last week leading the Lions into the 4th quarter.  They had a huge miscue before half as well that cost them at least a field goal.  I don't trust Bortles on the road at all.  

I know Winston is still out but it's not like Fitzpatrick is your normal backup as he has spent plenty of time as a starter in his career.  The Dolphins just seem like a complete mess right now after they have failed to show up the last two games after getting blown out on Thursday night against Baltimore.  Tampa clearly hasn't gave up evidence with a win last week.  They should have no problem here and they also get Evans back in the lineup

I dont believe in Hundley leading this Packer team.  Let's face it last week the game was changed when Fox challenged the call be a touchdown and was over turned for a fumble and touchback.  If it wasn't for that the Bears probably win the game.  Flacco is just so much better also than Hundley you can't ignore that.  The Ravens are still in the mix for a wild card spot in the AFC.  This is a must win game here IMO and believe they get the job done 

I know this is a big number here in a rivalry game but USC is just by far the better team.  Since USC got destroyed at Notre Dame all they have done is cover every game.  This team hasn't gave up and they still have possible PAC 12 title in their grasps.  The key here is simple and that is UCLA won't be able to stop USC on offense at all.  We have seen Rosen struggle when he gets behind also because he starts to take more risks and leads to turnovers.
