TOP NCAAB PLAY!!!

This is an absolute perfect spot here for Clemson.  As we all know Notre Dame is coming off a huge victory over #2 ranked North Carolina and now go on the road and they will have a big let down here.  Clemson was clearly looking ahead to this game as they laid an egg and lost @ Virginia Tech.  Notre Dame is just 4-6 away from home and Clemson is a very impressive 11-2 @ home.  Notre Dame is 0-5 ATS L5 following an ATS win.  Clemson is 5-0 ATS L5 home games.  Clemson is also 8-1 ATS L9 vs a team with a winning percentage above 60

The Pistons here are a quality home team with a 16-8 record.  The betting public will be all over the Raptors as they are the hot team, but they have had 3 days off now and most of the time those teams with that long of rest come out flat.  Pistons will be motivated here as they just lost a close one a few days ago to @ Toronto.  

We are getting really good value here with Duke who has won 3 out of their L4 and are playing better.  Louisville is still a bit overrated due to the fact they beat North Carolina.  Louisville hasn't covered their previous 5 away games and I don't believe they will tonight either.  Louisville is 2-7 ATS L9 following a SU win.  Duke is 12-4 ATS L16 following an ATS loss.

The Clippers are getting to much respect here against a very quality home team in the Heat.  The Heat are getting healthier and have won one 6 of their 7 games.  The most impressive part of the Heat's winning streak is that only one of those wins came at home.  They have been playing on the road a ton and expect to play with a lot of fire coming back for a few games now.  The Clippers are still without Griffin which I believe will hurt them a lot in this match up.  Clippers are just 1-6 ATS L7 following and ATS win 

I like the Knicks here at a short price.  The Nuggets are coming off a big win over the Bulls and are getting a lot of respect.  The Last 5 wins for the Nuggets have all been quality wins and the next game they have followed it up with a loss.  I look for the Knicks to be extra motivated here and take it to the Nuggets. 

While I believe Iowa is a very good team I just think this is a tough spot which is very similar to Indiana @ Penn St last night and we all know what happened there.  Iowa has @ Indiana on deck Thursday night.  Illinois has been playing fine at home just not getting to wins.  They were actually favored over Ohio St and lost by 5 and were only 3 point dogs to Wisconsin and lost by 8 and now they are getting double digits?  Seems inflated a lot given this spot.  

Georgia Tech is one of the most interesting teams in the country as they haven't lost a conference game by double digits, but just cant get over the hump.  I like them here as Miami coming off a big win over Notre Dame and Tech coming off a loss vs Duke.  Miami is 0-4 ATS L4 road games, and 0-4 ATS L4 vs teams with a winning home record.  

This won't be the popular play at all as the betting public will be all over the Spartans here with Michigan losing in ugly fashion to Indiana @ home last game.  However I expect a big bounce back here for Michigan as they are 11-2 @ home.  Michigan St has played just 2 quality Big 10 teams on the road this season in Iowa and Wisconsin and both of those games resorted in losses for the Spartans.  Michigan is 13-4 ATS L17 following a double digit loss @ home

There must be something clearly wrong with this Iowa St team after losing 2 consecutive games.  They have suspended staring center McKay who played a key role on the defensive side of the ball.  Oklahoma St has been playing better as of late as well even though their record may not reflect it.  They just lost on a last second shot in OT @ Texas Tech, won @ Auburn, lost to Baylor by 4 and beat Kansas by 19!.  Oklahoma St is 5-0-1 ATS L6 home games and 4-0-1 ATS L5 following a SU loss. 

I believe we are seeing a big line for a reason here.  I was extremely impresses with Duke last game out @ Georgia Tech and really believed they turned the corner there.  I still think people will back NC ST because of their win vs Miami which they caught in a good spot and also their close loss @ Florida St which is a little misleading as Florida St blew a double digit lead late in that game.  Duke also just won by 10 @ NC St a couple weeks ago.  

I truly believe that odds makers have this game wrong as Duquesne is playing some good ball right now and also is 9-1 @ home.  Davidson is 2-6 on the road this season and have lost 3 out of their last 4.  Duquesne has won and covered 5 out of their last 6 and will also be looking for revenge here as they lost @ Davidson earlier this season.  Davidson is 3-13 ATS L16 games playing a team with a winning record.  

Virginia comes to Pitt off two blowout wins but I simply don't trust this team on the road.  Pitt has been a very solid team at home going 13-2.  Pitt is also looking for it's key signature win this season which they have a great chance here to do so.  Virginia is just 1-6 ATS this year away from home.  To me this line tells the story here.  

I believe we are seeing a big over reaction here due to the fact that the Raptors haven't covered 4 in a row and the Trailblazers have won 5 in a row.  During the 5 game winning streak Portland beat the Lakers Kings Hornets T Wolves and Bucks.  All those teams are under .500 and Toronto is clearly a superior team compared to those.  I look for a big effort from the Raptors as this is their last game on the west coast for a while. 

BIG TEN SPECIAL!

Ohio St is simply getting to much respect here as they are coming off a close loss to Maryland.  All of their Big 10 wins have came against the bad teams in the conference.  When Ohio St has gone on the road against quality teams they lost @ Indiana by 25 @ Maryland by 35 and @ Purdue by 11.  Wisconsin is actually starting to gel nicely here and have two big wins over Michigan St and Indiana.  I really believe Wisconsin gets it done by double digits tonight. 

Upset Special!!

I believe this line says it all here and Texas AM is due for a big letdown after beating Iowa St.  This is also the classic "sandwich" spot here as A&M has South Carolina up next.  Vandy is still considered a bubble team and this is pretty much a must win game if they have any hope of making NCAA tourney.  Vandy will bounce back after losing @ Texas.  Vandy is also 38-18 ATS L56 following an ATS loss. 

TOP PLAY NCAAB!!!

I really like the value we are getting here with Michigan.  Indiana is the ranked team and tied a top of Big 10 conference with Iowa, but Indiana has played the easiest Big 10 schedule to date.  Michigan has won 4 in a row but only covered once during that span.  Also remember this is the same Michigan team that beat Maryland not to long ago.  The hardest game Indiana has had so far in conference has been @ Wisconsin who is just a middle of the road team and no surprise they lost.  I also don't believe that Indiana will be able to handle Michigan's guards.  Michigan is also 11-1 @ home this year.  Sit back and relax take Michigan 

Both teams are coming off losses here but West Virginia was never really in the game @ Florida and Iowa St was right there @ Texas AM with a couple minutes left.  I look for a a nice bounce back here for Iowa St as they are 10-1 @ home.  Also I believe the way West Virginia likes to play with the up tempo style plays right into the hands of Iowa St here.  They will be able to break the press and create a lot of threes.  Iowa St is 5-1 ATS L5 home games playing a team with winning record.

To me this is all about motivation here for the Knicks coming off an ugly loss vs the Warriors.  The Celtics are also coming of a bad loss @ Orlando.  I just really don't trust this Celtics team on the road here as the public will be all over them.  The Celtics are 0-6 ATS L6 road gamevs teams with a winning record.  Knicks are 9-3 ATS L12 playing on 1 days rest and are 7-3 ATS L10 home games. 

SEC PLAY OF THE DAY

We are getting really good value here with a Georgia team who is 10-3 @ home this year.  They are also coming of 2 straight losses @ LSU by 4 and @ Baylor by 10.  Those are not bad losses by any means and fully expect them to bounce back tonight.  South Carolina is a team I simply don't trust on the road.  They also have a big look ahead game with @ Texas AM on deck.  Georgia is 5-0 ATS L5 following a SU loss. 

The Kings are in a perfect spot here coming off straight losses, but three of those were on the road.  I look for them to bounce back big time here facing the Bucks.  The Bucks aren't playing very well as they are 1-4 SU L5 and are a miserable 7-21 on the road.  The Kings will be focused here as they will end their skid.  

As I was on Florida St Saturday when they took it to Clemson I am back on them again.  Florida St was favored by the same amount vs Clemson as they are here and NC ST is way worse.  NC ST is getting respect here because of their upset over Miami, but they were catching Miami at a good time after Miami just upset Duke.  NC ST is now in a classic road letdown after a big home win and they also have @DUKE on deck.  Florida St can't afford to lose home games with 2 road games coming up.  This young Florida St team is growing and I really like what I have been seeing.  NC ST 0-4 ATS L4 following a SU win and FSU is 6-1 ATS L7 vs team with a losing road record. 

I like the short price here we are getting with the Pelicans.  They have been playing a lot better as of late going 7-2 SU.  The reason for the short price is because the Grizzlies have been playing, but a majority of those were home games and in fact during their nice run they only played one team above .500.  Their 2 road game were @ Denver where they were lucky and won by 1 and @ Minnesota where they lost.  Grizzlies are just 1-6 ATS L7 road games.  Pelicans are 4-0 ATS L4 following and ATS loss.

BIG MONDAY SHOWDOWN TOP PLAY!!!

This won't be the public play thats for sure but clearly odds makers believe that Louisville will rebound from their only home loss of the year so far.  The Louisville Virginia game was very hard to watch as they couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.  Louisville will not lose 2 in a row at home and this is also just North Carolina's 2nd away in nearly a month.  Their only away game was @ Virginia Tech and they were lucky to escape with the victory.  I also really think that Louisville was clearly over looking Virginia and waiting for this Big Monday Showdown.  Carolina has benefited big time from their schedule so far in playing the not good teams in conference.  Sure they played Clemson but that was 1st of conference and no one knew them then and it was @ home.  UNC is 2-5 ATS L7 playing a team with a winning record. 

NBA PLAY OF THE DAY!

Both teams are obviously not very good, but the Hornets are very banged up and I believe they will rest some players here as they have the Cavs Heat Wizards and Bulls for their upcoming home stand.  Zeller is out Batum is out, Lin Lamb and Hariston are all questionable.  The Lakers have covered 3 of their L5 and even though they haven't been winning they have been competitive.  Hornets 2-9 ATS L11 vs team with a losing record.  Underdog in this series is 18-3 ATS L21

I might be one of the few, but I actually believe Arizona St is a quality basketball team and very sneaky in the PAC 12.  They have only lost once by more than 10 points and that was due to Hurley getting ejected late in the game vs Arizona so you can throw that away.  Oregon is coming a huge road win @ Arizona and the betting public will be all over them today because of that.  I believe Arizona St will build off their blowout win vs Oregon St and pull the upset here, while Oregon has a let down.  

I'm very surprised by this line as I thought it should be closer to 8.  Colorado is an outstanding home going 11-1 so far and Cal away from home is just pathetic going 1-7.  I see no reason why that would change come today.  Cal is just 2-6 ATS L8 road games, and 7-18-1 ATS L26 following a SU loss.  Colorado is 5-1 ATS L6 home games. 

NCAAB Sunday Underdog Special

Im actually not so sure that Evansville isn't the best team in the Missouri Valley, but they won't be getting the respect based on the Wichita St name.  Theses teams met earlier in the year and Evansville took them right down to the wire losing by 3.  Evansville is also a perfect 10-0 SU this year @ home and there is no doubt they will be ready for this re match.  Wichita St is a hot team covering 9 out of their L10, but they struggle in Evansville just 2-6 ATS L8.  

Kansas hasn't been playing the greatest, but there is now better way to come off a slump than by beating down a quality team.  Kentucky has won and covered 3 in a row, but I don't trust this team tonight especially in this atmosphere.  Kentucky has lost @ Auburn and was blown out @ LSU and lost on a neutral court to a bad Ohio St team.  Kansas will bounce back here and take it to them

NON CONFERENCE PLAY OF THE DAY

Texas A&M sure doesn't get much credit for being a top 5 team in the country.  Most people will remember that Iowa St has had big wins over Kansas and Oklahoma last 3 games.  They are due for a major let down today.  Aggies are coming off a bad loss @ Arkansas and expect them to bounce back in a major way.  Texas A&M is a perfect 12-0 @ home this season and that won't change today.

ACC PLAY OF THE DAY

We are getting a really good price here on Florida St who doesn't have the respect from the odds makers because of their conference record.  This Florida St team is as talented as any in the ACC.  Clemson has benefited from playing most of their games @ home and in fact both of their conference losses came on the road.  Florida St isn't out of tourney talk and would need a big home win also.   Also when they played earlier @ Clemson, Florida St was favored by 2 so if you translate that to Florida St now being home it should 8 so we are getting really good value.

Florida has been playing some really good basketball as of late.  They are 4-2 their L6 but they came @ Texas AM by 3 and @ Vanderbilt by 1.  The betting public will be all over West Virginia here as they are ranked a top 10 team.  However, they are without Jonathan Holton who averages 9.7 ppg and I believe a big success on their defensive end.  West Virginia also might be over looking Florida here as they have @ Iowa St on deck

The T Wolves present great value as they haven't been winning but they have covered 3 in a row.  I believe we are seeing an over reaction from the Jazz blowing out the Hornets last game.  The T Wolves have actually been playing well lately losing to the Thunder by 3 and the Cavs by 7 while beating the Grizzlies.  The Jazz also have the Bulls next coming to town so I don't seem being totally focused on tonights game.  Minnesota is 10-3 ATS L13 games playing a tema with a winning home record.  Jazz are 1-4 ATS L5 following an ATS win

I like the value here with the Pistons as the betting public will be all over the Cavs here.  I believe the coaching change will take a while and the Cavs have benefited from playing the T Wolves and the Suns.  The Pistons are a quality home team going 15-6 ATS.  I expect a big effort from the Pistons tonight.  The Cavs are just 1-4 ATS L5 following an ATS win.  Pistons are 6-1 ATS L7 playing teams greater than 60% win rate

It's not very often that you get points this late in the season with a home team who hasn't on their home floor.  VCU will be the popular choice as they have won 10 in a row and covered an impressive 9 of those.  Davidson has had some very close losses, but they are coming off a nice road win as a 6.5 point underdog @ Richmond.  Davidson will be ready to defend their undefeated home court tonight 

Ohio St is one of the hardest teams to figure out this year.  They are just 1-4 in true road and the 4 losses were all above 20 point blowouts except for one.  I simply dont trust them here.  Illinois is desperate here as the next 3 games are very winnable.  Ohio St is also in a big look ahead spot with Maryland coming to town next.  Ohio St just 5-17-1 ATS L23 road games.  

Oregon St comes into this game off a nice upset over USC.  Let's look back here when Oregon St had a couple big wins.  Oregon St opened conference play with a 13 pt win over rival Oregon, next game lose @ home to Stanford.  Oregon St then upsets Cal @ home, next game get blown out @ Colorado.  So coming off that big USC win and also with Arizona on deck I see another let down.  Arizona St may not have the wins but have been extremely competitive losing by 2 @ Stanford and by 5 @ Cal.  I expect them to be very motivated here tonight.

NBA PLAY OF THE DAY!

The Kings have been a nice story as of late and are playing better, but favorites on the road for a team who doesn't guard anyone.  The Pelicans have been playing fine themselves as they are 5-5 SU L10 and Kings are 6-4 SU L10.  The Pelicans are 4-1 L5 home games and just dropped a one 1 pt loss to Houston @ home.  Kings are 2-5 ATS L7 following a SU loss.  Pelicans are 8-2 ATS L10 following an ATS loss. 

This is a good spot here to back the Pacers who have been struggling lately.  They will be more focused than ever as I don't believe there is anyway they drop two games at home in a row.  Atlanta is 2-5 ATS L7 plying on 0 days rest.  

Notre Dame is coming into this game with a 4 game winning streak, but will be without their best player in Jackson tonight.  Losing Jackson is very key here for the Irish as he would be the one who could pick apart the Syracuse zone.  Syracuse has been playing well also winning 3 of their last 4 but were in a tough spot last game @ Virginia.  Syracuse is a big bubble team and whenever you get a chance to have a quality win @ home it becomes that much more important.  Syracuse will be ready here.  

This line is high for a reason as it's an extremely tough spot for the Clippers here.  They are on their last game on a 5 game road trip but also their 5th in 7 days and coming off a tough win last night vs the Pacers.  The Hawks have been playing well winning 5 out of their L7.  Clippers 1-4 ATS L5 following a SU win.  Hawks 5-1 ATS L6 home games. 

I like the Wolves here catching the Thunder on a back to back.  It's a long trip for the Thunder coming from New York and also playing an OT game.  Minnesota only lost by 5 last time Thunder played there.  Thunder 0-7 ATS L7 road games, Thunder also 0-5 ATS L5 vs team with home losing record.

Virginia Tech is being extremely undervalued here losing two consecutive games.  They lost @ Notre Dame by just two and North Carolina by 5.  Louisville is just 3-3 away from home.  Louisville is 0-4 ATS L4 road games.  Virginia Tech is 4-0 ATS L4 home games and also 4-0 ATS L4 vs a team with winning percentage above 60%

Two two teams that have been playing the opposite and we are getting good value with a home team in Houston that is 10-2 SU.  Tulsa has won and covered 5 in a row and Houston dropped 4 in a row.  I look for Houston to bounce back here big time tonight.  

I really believe that Clemson is the better team here and are being undervalued due to Pittsburgh's record.  Clemson have covered 7 in a row and are really playing good basketball.  Pitt is coming off a big comeback win @ Florida St and I doubt they can win back to back on the road.  Pitt is 6-19-1 L26 following a ATS win.

Tennessee is getting way to much respect coming off a big upset vs South Carolina.  Tennessee away from home is just 1-7 SU this year.  Bama is coming off 3 straight losses also after beating down South Carolina.  Since they are on a 3 game skid that is why we are getting a great price here.  In those losses 2 were on the road and one was @ home vs LSU and all were decided by under 10 points.  I look for Bama to bounce back strong here tonight in a must win game for them.  Bama 11-4 ATS L15 following a loss.  

The Raptors are without a doubt one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now winning 8 in row and covering in 7 of those game which is very impressive.  I believe they are in a dog fight tonight with the Wizards.  The Wizards come in off a pathetic home performance last night vs Boston and look for them to bounce back here.  Wizards are 5-0 ATS L5 road games, 4-0 ATS L4 following a double digit home loss and the Wizards have owned this seriers going 7-1 ATS L8.  

Indiana is coming off a terrible west coast road trip going 1-3 SU.  They have 2 days off now to rest and come out with a lot of energy tonight playing a Clippers team who is playing their 4th game in 6 days on the road.  Indiana 14-2 ATS L16 playing on 2 days rest.  

NBA PLAY OF THE DAY 

The oddsmakers are telling you they don't trust the Suns to win back to back games here.  Neither team is obviously very good, but for the Sixers they have been playing better as of late.  2-2 SU L4 and also have had close losses losing to Cavs by 10 Bulls by 4 and @ Knicks by just 6.  I also don't see any interest the Suns might have here with the Cavs on deck.  Suns 0-8 ATS L8 following a SU win, 1-10 ATS L11 following an ATS win.  76ers 6-1 ATS L7 playing a team with a losing record.  

I really believe this Indiana team is way overvalued right now.  They are 7-0 in the Big 10, but haven't played Iowa Maryland Purdue Michigan or Mich St.  So you can clearly see they have played all the bottom competition.  This two teams have already met and Indiana was very lucky to squeak out with a 1 point win.  I think Wisconsin has found its stride now after beating Michigan St then following that up with a road win.  The underdog in this series is 7-1 ATS L8

4 Star NCAAB BIG MONDAY!

I really believe Iowa St is starting to find their identity now and Kansas I'm buying stock in.  To me there is something going on with this Kansas team.  They have failed to cover 4 straight and are just 2-2 SU.  They beat Texas on Saturday but had to come from behind @ home.  Iowa St honestly cant afford to lose any more games in conference if they wanna win it outright I believe.  We all saw what happened last week when Oklahoma came to Ames.  I expect the same result as the Jayhawks have been struggling on defense.  Iowa St 5-1-1 ATS L7 following a ATS win.  Kansas 0-4 ATS L4 vs teams with a winning record.

NBA PLAY OF THE DAY!

Boston is getting respect here because they have been playing better lately here going 5-2 SU, but the Wizards are starting to pick it up also as they are 5-2 SU as well.  This here is all about the spot and oddsmakers know it.  The Celtics were favored by 1.5 just 9 days @ Washington and now are 2.5 point dogs because of the schedule.  The Celtics are playing on a back to back meanwhile Wizards have had plenty of rest with 4 days off.  Also this is Boston's 4th game in 6 days.  The Wizards will be the motivated team here.  Celtics just 2-5 ATS L7 road games. 

4 Star NCCAB Play!!!

We are getting excellent value here with Miami who has failed to cover in their last 4 games.  Duke is a team that struggles badly on the defensive end especially defending the three.  Duke is coming of a nice win @ NC ST, but I'm still not sold.  Duke has to be shooting lights out again for a 2nd straight road game and I don't see that happening.  This is a statement game for Miami and also take note Duke is basically playing now with 6 guys.  That is the furthest thing from a Coach K team we have seen in years.  Duke is just 2-8-2 ATS L12 vs Miami.  Miami is 5-1-1 ATS L5 home games 

This is the last game of a 4 game trip for the Pacers and expect them to play motivate.  The Kings will be the popular choice after winning and covering 4 in a row.  The pacers are still a good eastern conference team and the Kings are still average and struggle on defense.  

I realize the Suns will be without Knight but I do like their young guys and the effort they put forth.  Atlanta will have 0 motivation playing this game.  Suns 41 ATS L5 following a double digit loss at home.  Hawks just 1-4 ATS L5 road vs teams with losing home record

The Knicks are with out a doubt the better team here.  They are coming off a bad loss blowout @ home and I expect them to bounce back.  The hornets are just 3-10 SU L13. Hornets are 1-6 ATS L7 playing on 0 days rest Hornets also 1-5 ATS L6 following SU win. Knicks 5-1 ATS L6 following a double digit loss at home

This is a perfect spot to fade Oklahoma St here coming off a huge win vs Kansas.  Now they travel to Kansas St who is 8-2 @ home with only losses coming against Iowa St and West Virginia.  Oklahoma St isn't a very good team at all and they will have a let down.  Kansas St has had a brutal schedule to start conference and expect them to really be motivated today.

Florida St comes in off a blowout loss @ Louisville, meanwhile Pitt is coming off a beat down @ home vs NC St.  Florida St has by far the better athletes and I expect them to show up here.  Pitt has benefited from an extremely easy schedule and in their last road game they scored 41 points!  

I was on Kentucky last out in their bounce back win @ Arkansas and look for them to really let Vanderbilt have it as well.  Kentucky is obviously a very hard place to play and this has to be one of the shortest prices we have had on them @ home in a while.  Vanderbilt has won 3 straight and thats why this line is low.  Vanderbilt was 3 point dogs @ South Carolina and I find it hard to believe that South Carolina even with their record is equal to Kentucky 

Georgia Tech hasn't lost an ACC game by double digits so far and I see no reason why that should change today.  Louisville is overvalued here due to their back to back blowout wins.  Georgia Tech was also 6 point underdogs @ home vs Virginia and they beat them SU.

I simply don't trust this LSU team on the road.  Bama has lost two in a row but both were on the road and we remember what Alabama did to South Carolina @ home.  LSU has dropped it's last two road games as well.  LSU just 1-6 ATS L7 road games.  Bama 19-6-1 ATS L26 following an ATS loss.

Nebraska is really going under the radar here in the Big 10 has they have won and covered in 4 straight games.  Michigan is still getting a lot of respect because of their Maryland win, but I don't like backing strictly jump shooting teams on the road.  Look for Nebraska to carry the momentum off their big win and beat Michigan here.

I believe the Kings are overvalued here due to their 3 game winning streak all on the road.  They only beat one quality team and that was the Clippers.  I still don't trust their defense as they have given up over 100 points in 10 of their L11 games.  Now they return home off a back to back and are probably thinking to much of themselves.  The Hawks have been playing well as of late also.  They have won 5 of their L7 and are also coming off a back to back.  I do like taking road teams of a win and playing the next night as usually they ride the momentum.  Kings 1-5 ATS L6 homes games.  

We are getting more than a fair price here with Oregon as I believe they are the best team in the PAC 12.  Oregon is a perfect 11-0 at home this season.  They are coming off a very close loss @ Colorado in a game that could have gone either way.  USC is getting a lot of respect due to their 3 game winning streak.  I really believe Oregon makes a statement here saying we are the best team in this conference.  Oregon 8-2 ATS L10 following an ATS loss.

We are getting good value here for Ohio St who I know isn't the usually Ohio St, but they are still more than capable of beating anyone.  This line is an overreaction due to Purdue coming in off two blowout wins over Penn St and Rutgers.  Ohio St was also embarrassed last out losing by 35 @ Maryland, but they were only 10 point dogs in that game and Maryland to me is the best team in the Big 10.  

The Cavs realize they have to make a statement here playing another quality team at home after an embarrassing loss to the Warriors.  The Cavs come in with a 13 pt win over the Nets last night, but what I like is they held them under 80 points.  I don't care what team your playing in the NBA it's very hard to do that.  The Clippers have been playing very well as of late, but when you look at the opponents only 1 of those teams were above 500!  The Cavs have owned this series as they are 8-2 ATS L10 and the Clippers are just 1-8 ATS L9 playing in Cleveland.  

This is a great spot to back the Bulls here after everyone saw what the Warriors did the the Cavs.  I actually believe the Bulls match up better with them. Bulls will not be taking this game lightly.  Also this line is greatly inflated as the Warriors were just 7 point favorites at the Pistons.  Warriors are just 1-8 ATS L9 playing on 1 days rest Bulls 7-2 ATS L9 home games playing teams with winning road record

This won't be a popular choice by any means, but oddsmakers are telling you a lot here with this line.  Clemons had a rare 3 home game conference stretch against Louisville Duke and Miami.  They won all 3 games and the betting public will be all over them here.  This is a really bad spot here due for a major letdown.  Clemson is just 1-3 on the road, they lost @ Minnesota who is the worse Big 10 team and were blown out at @ Georgia Tech by 23.  Virginia will be the motivated here starting conference play just 2-3 but all losses on the road.  Virginia 8-2 ATS L10 following a SU loss

NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

We are getting a really good price on the Heat here who are coming off a very tough west coast stretch.  Miami was just 2-4 SU during that stretch and now return home before going on another 5 game stretch away.  They will be plenty focused here in this spot.  The Bucks are still a disappointing team, but are getting to much respect here since they have covered 4 in a row.  They are still 6-18 SU on the road this season.  The Bucks are also 2-7-1 ATS L10 playing on 2 days rest and we all know the Bucks weren't resting on South Beach with 2 days off.  Heat are 4-0 ATS L4 following an ATS loss.

I was against South Carolina in their last road game @ Alabama and that worked out just fine.  Will be against them again here as I'm not a believer in this team.  Ole Miss is coming off two losses here and won't be over looking the Gamecocks here as this is a huge resume builder.  Ole Miss is 7-1 @ home losing to Florida in their most recent game.  I was really impresses with Ole Miss @ LSU they controlled the whole game until the final 2 minutes.  South Carolina just 5-11 ATS L16 following an ATS loss.  Ole Miss 5-1 ATS L6 following an ATS loss.  Wrong team favored here Ole Miss matches up very well

There is no doubt with this line being so low it's because of Providence recent struggles.  There is no better way to stop the bleeding than playing a quality opponent.  Providence has dropped it's last 2 homes and if they would lose tonight it would be the first time in 4 years they had a 3 game home losing streak.  Butler isn't exactly play quality basketball either just 2-3 SU their L5 and those wins were against DePaul and St Johns.  Providence has also already beat Butler as a 7.5 point dog @ Butler a few weeks ago.  Providence will respond tonight, they are 7-1 ATS L8 following an ATS loss and are 9-2-1 ATS L12 playing a team with a greater win percentage than 60%.  Butler is 1-4 ATS L5 vs team with winning record

This is a good spot to back the Clippers here as they had a bad loss the Kings last out .  Rockets have been playing well but against weak competition and are on a back to back here.  Rockets just 2-6 ATS L8 playing on 0 days rest.  Clippers 4-0 ATS L4 playing on 1 day rest

Iowa St has had a rough start in conference play but rebounded very well and took it to Kansas St which isn't an easy place to play.  Oklahoma is coming off two 2 point wins and a very physical one with West Virginia.  Iowa St knows if it wants to keep pace for the Big 12 this is an absolute must win as they already have 3 conference losses.  Hilton is a very difficult place to play.  OU just 1-5 ATS L6 following a SU win.  Iowa St 12-5-1 ATS L 18 playing a team with over 60% win rate

The Cavs are playing really well right now and the Warriors look like they need some rest dropping 2 of their last 3.  Cavs are 6-0 ATS L6 vs team with winning record and are 5-1 ATS L6 following a road trip of 7 days or more.  Warriors are are 0-8ATS L8 playing on 1 day rest and 0-4-1 ATS L5 playing a team with winning record.  Cavs will look to make a statement with a healthy Kyrie who they lost in the finals

There is to much respect here given toward Oregon after their impressive road win @ Utah.  It's very hard in college basketball to go on the road and win @ quality teams in back to back games.  Colorado is 9-1 @ home so far.  Prior to winning @ Utah, Oregon lost @ Boise St and @ Oregon St by 13.

I like Florida St here coming off a nice road win @ NC St.  Florida St is an extremely athletic team and will present problems for Virginia.  Virginia has played on the road twice during ACC play and are 0-2 with losses coming to Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech.  They had a great bounce back win vs Miami which is why the line is high.  Virginia is also 0-4 ATS on road games.
