I will take the Warriors here in this game tonight and ride the hot hand of Curry right now.  Yes they started off slow because they had several players out and adjusting to new roles.  Now we are seeing them and what they are capable of.  George out for the Clippers tonight as well plays a big factor. 

I will take Oklahoma here in this game.  I know that the Sooners are off a big win but I don't think it necessarily means a let down here especially getting 12 points.   The Sooners have very good athletes here and this is a tournament quality team here.  I will. gladly take the points

It's time to back Creighton here.  They have failed to cover in 3 straight and 4 of their last 5.  Seton Hall has won and covered 7 of their last 8 games giving up a great line here on Creighton.  

I will gladly take South Carolina here.  They have had a weird start to the season only playing. 4 games.  They just got a game under their belt which they were. sloppy but I think items must needed. Texas AM is nothing special at all and I dont. care about their 6-2 record.   They were blown. out by over 20 on the road at a bad LSU team

I will taker the Gophers here.  Michigan is one of the few teams have that haven't lost yet this season and are being over valued after covering 6 of their last 7 games.  This Gopher team I know has struggled in the two Big Ten road games but that was Illinois and Wisky who both I consider better than Michigan 

This will be a public play no doubt but I will Miami here in this game. Boston is still dealing with some injuries and everything plus they play Miami in a couple games.  They are also wrapping up a a 4. game road trip and think they are happy going 2-2 on it.  Miami wins this 

Too many points here for Tennessee to be laying.  Both teams here are coming off bad games but you have to look ate Arkansas here.  They shot 26% from the field their last game clearly their worst performance of the season.  The Vols are a good team but too many points here

I believe a popular play will Va Tech here actually being ranked and getting points.   This will be their first true road game which I think is always tough especially how far into the season we are.  Louisville is missing some players still but Mack is a great coach and I trust them here.

Late Add...

I'm going to take Miss St here.   This Missouri is good and improved big time but laying points on the road here?  They were just 6.5 point dogs @ Arkansas and now laying 2?   To big of an over adjustment here.  Miss St coming off a double OT loss to Kentucky I believe leaves them hungry here.  

I think Marquette should be favored by more here in this game. First, UConn is playing their first road game of the season and I think they are overvalued as they have covered 4 of the 5 games that they have played.   Marquette has only covered one game in their last 7 so that is playing a part as well.  Marquette has played a pretty tough schedule here a well. 

It's only a matter of time before UNC starts putting it all together here.  There is just too much talent on this team.  They are obviously being underrated as they have only covered once in the last 8 games.  This Miami team simply. can't be trusted as they lose close game after close game.  

I will take NC St here in this game.  Clemson to me is just being very overrated here with their hot 8-1 start that no one saw coming.  Clemson has a big game on deck I'm sure they are looking ahead to with UNC.  Also NC St only has one loss and it was to St Louis who is a very. good team.   

The overall talent here in this game is a huge mismatch IMO.  Oregon is just a lot better all the away around.  Stanford just doesn't pass the eye test for me here.  This is a discount here on this game.  Oregon controls from start to finish 

I will take Bama here tonight.  This is a battled testes team who has played a pretty tough schedule so far.  I think the Vols are being way overvalued due to the blowout win @ Missouri last game.  

I will take Kentucky here in this game.  Yes they are 1-6 and everyone will. write. them off.  You can't do that with Calapari and his crew.  The talent they have is so good they will turn the corner.  I expect to be near the top of the. SEC which. they always are regardless of their non conference start. 

I will take Oklahoma here woh is a non ranked team but yet favored over a top 10 team in the country.  WVU was pretty sloppy last true road game @ Kansas and wonder if that's what we see from them going forward. The Sooners have athletes here as well and coming off a tough 2 point loss to Tech.  I think they will be extra motivated here 

I will take. Auburn here as they have the better coach and better athletes plain and simple.  A&M is having lots of issues right now and still a handful of players questionable for the game.  Take Auburn on the ML

I will take Cincy here as they have now had some time off following a rough stretch.  They have lost 4 straight and failed to cover in each of those games.  Tulsa is in a rough spot here knocking off a top 10 team in Houston last game setting up for a major let down.  

I really like Iowa here in this game.  Rutgers got a win and cover vs Purdue last game which is the reason here why I will take Iowa.  Rutgers may be without their best player in Harper again and if so that is a huge loss against this team.  I think Iowa responds here with a big road effort 

I will take Miami here in this spot.  Clemson is now getting all sorts of love now since they are off to a hot start.  Miami here is a very undervalued team.  They. battled some injuries early in the season but now are healthy and quite frankly the line hasn't been adjusted to them enough.

I will take my chances here with Providence.  They are playing well winning 5 of their last 6 games with their only loss coming by single digits.  Creighton has escaped the last couple games here winning by 5 and 2 and I think 4.5 here is simply too much.  They were only favored by 2.5 @ UConn two games ago. 

What a weird line huh?  We have the 12th ranked team in the country catching 6.5 points to an unranked team?  Quite frankly everyone is going to love Missouri here.  I was impressed with Arkansas @ Auburn last game as this team has good guard play and can shoot it from deep.

Tennessee is the best team in the SEC.  Yes, Missouri has been the surprise so far and they do have some big wins but now they are overvalued here in this game.  The. Vols make a statement win here tonight. 

I mean this is a crazy discount we are getting on the Hoosier here.  They have lost back to back games but this is a great spot to back them here.  Just two games ago they were favored by 9 over Northwestern and now just 5.5 to who I think is the worst team in the Big 10.  Indiana has legit talent 

UNC coming off a tough loss vs NC St setting up a nice bounce back spot here for them tonight.  This Tech team does have talent but they just dont pass the eye test for me.  UNC to me is the best team in the ACC and this is a cheap price to back them off a loss.

Late add

I'm not quite sure why Arkansas is favored here honestly.  Razorbacks are undefeated but they literally have played no one.  Auburn has two losses but they were to Gonzaga and UCF both quality losses.  I must be missing something here but Auburn wins outright. 

I think Seton Hall is the better overall team here.  Yes, Xavier is 7-1 and they have over acheived but I dont trust them at all.  Better played and coach belong to Seton Hall.  

I dont believe Virginia is any better than Duke and the Blue Devils were only laying 1 @ Notre Dame.  Now we are getting 6 at home with them?  This isn't the same Virginia. team that we are use to seeing.  Notre Dame is down I get it but they scrappy and with the style of Virginia I think this game flow will play into the Irish hands here

I will take Providence here as both of these of these teams just played.  Butler came out on top but it was a good situation for them.  Love the quick revenge spot here for Providence 

I will lay the short number here with the Nuggets who will be out for revenge.  They lost the first game of the season in OT vs the Kings.  Kings were 8 point dogs in that game and now only 2 so this is a discount here.  Denver following a slow start I think we get their full attention here. 

The whole world will now be on Northwestern as most people watched Iowa blow a lead wit has under a minute left as Minnesota simply hit every 3 they looked at.  This is a great spot to back Iowa who now I believe is underrated.  This team has firepower and I think NW is also being very overvalued here.  They have started out conference play 3-0 with 3 wins as underdogs.  Everyone will love NW here based on that.  

Sounds like Petty and Rojas won't play for Bama tonight and that will pretty much leave this team with playing 5 players.  They aren't very deep to being with at all and now will have to rely on a couple guys who have hardly played for depth.  Petty leads the team in minutes played and is their do all guy.  Based on that I will take Ole Miss here tonight 

I will take the Pistons here in this game.  Yes, they played last night but they sat Rose and Griffin and I believe that was because they want this one here tonight.  Well the Warriors are clearly trying to find their identity and right now isn't the time to back them.  Pistons have won a game yet and are hungry so lets take a chance

Neither team has won a game yet this season but the Wizards dont deceiver to be laying this amount of points to anyone.  This is also the first game of these two teams playing each other again on Thursday.  I like the Bulls here tonight and wouldn't be shocked if they won outright

The Cavs are 3-0 SU and ATS to start the season and now. are favored, who would have thought.  the Cavs are also very banged up right now with several guys out again this game.  The Knicks I think they can ride the momentum here following a nice win over the Bucks.  First game of the road trip and I think we get good effort here 

Don't get me wrong I love this Rutgers team but they are battling injuries now as well.  Young, who is their 2nd best player is very questionable tonight and clearly isn't 100%.  They are already thing down low which won't serve well against Purdue.  I believe Purdue is very underrated.  Their 3 losses are to Clemson on a neutral @ Iowa and @ Miami by just 4.  Their recent 3 point win over Maryland looks pretty good now with the terms winning @ Wisconsin last night.  I think Purdue gets it done against an injured Rutgers team

Im pretty surprised at this line here tonight.  Va Tech has been a nice surprise this season take nothing away from them but laying this many here?  I think people are forgetting that when Miami lost to Pitt at home they had several bad key injuries that game.  This healthy Miami team beat a good Purdue team.  Wouldn't be shocked if the upset happened.  Va Tech also has their rival Virginia on deck 

I will take Sparty here in this game.  The Gophers are riding high right now with back to back wins over Saint Louis and a crazy comeback over Iowa.  I think that was very lucky.  I also think we are getting a discount on Sparty because they haven't covered 5 straight and are 0-2 in conference 

Missouri iSt is undefeated and coming off a big blowout win over UNI yesterday.  Yes, UNI is missing their bet players but now is a cheaper price based on the result yesterday.  UNI I think responds with a big effort. 

I will take Indiana St here.  These teams played yesterday and Drake destroyed them.  Drake is undefeated and has covered every game so far this season.  I think Indiana St is live here today for the win.  Drake shot 54% from the field and I doubt they do that again

I will take the Bulls here to put forth a better effort than their opening game.  This is a division rival here in the Pacers.   The Bulls just shot terrible from the field and the hawks were lights out.  Indiana won and covered vs the Knicks but what does that exactly mean?  I think the Bulls bounce back here

I will take the Magic here on the ML.  First, they looked very good in their first game vs the Heat winning by 6 as a 4.5 point dog.  I also think this is a unique situation to take them.  These teams play a back to back and tomorrow and its at the Wizards again.  Public will love backing Westbrook but don't sleep on the magic this season

Kentucky 1-5 vs their rival Louisville who is 5-1.  I love Kentucky here in this spot.  If you have watched either of these teams you know Kentucky has the better talent by far.  I think this is the ultimate get right game here for the Wildcats.  

I will lay it here with the Clippers who I think are out for. revenge this season.   There is no other team that wants revenge more than the Clippers do here vs the Nuggets.  The Clippers blew a 3-1 lead in the series in the playoffs so I guarantee here Kawhi and company have had. this one circled.  Nuggets also coming off an OT loss 

I think the jury is still out on the the Michigan bball team.  They are ranked yes but they haven't played a tough opponent yet and struggled vs Penn St who isn't very good.  Now I know Nebraska isn't great but getting nearly double digits here I like.  Michigan also hasn't played a road game which again plays to the favor of Nebraska and company.

I quite frankly can't believe this line at all.  Yes, the Warriors looked bad and got blown out but really  now getting double digits?  I just think the Bucks are going to be a bet against here early and often. They lack. the depth and I. think. the Warriors are a good. matchup against them.  

I will take the Suns here as I think this team is a for sure playoff team in the Western Conference the year.   They now have Chris Paul and granted he's old but he can still play and is a valuable asset.  Mavs dont have Porzingis still and they will miss him.  Luka is a beast but I think the Suns take a major leap forward. 

I know Kemba is out for Boston but I will take them here in this spot.  I think Boston has a complete team and quite frankly I just dont like what happened to the Bucks in the bubble.  I think they were exposed in a major way and I dont trust them.  

Great time to back Marquette here.  They have lost 3 of their last 4 games with all of them being single digits.  So I think they are being undervalued because of those losses.   Nova is a good team but they dont deserve this much favoring here.

I will lay it here with Illinois.  This team was a top 5 team and sure they have had some slip ups along the way but now they are playing one of the bottom teams in the big ten and I think they will take full advantage here.  

Give me Butler here.  I know they have just one win on the year but Providence I think is being over valued following 2 straight road wins putting them in a tough spot here tonight with a 3rd straight road game.  

I will lay it with Ohio St here.  They are now getting healthier and plus I think a big let down spot for Rutgers coming off a big win over Illinois.  Also Rutgers will be without a couple players including their starting Center.  

I think it has been clear this off season that the Lakers were definitely not in favor of starting out the season this early since they had to play well into the fall.  I really like the Lakers team what they have done and I think we see LeBron and Davis kinda let the younger guys try. and find their spot which they could struggle.  They will find their stride but I dont wanna back them here.  Clippers will be the more motivated team and Kawhi has made that clear this off season 

I'm going to take WVU here in this game.  This Jayahwks team is very overrated here and I simply dont trust their outside shooting.  I know they made them vs Tech last game but WVU is a hard fought team that can control the pace here.  Their only loss came at the hands of Gonzaga and that was a game they only shot 37% from the field.  They still only lost by 5 which is very impressive.  

Yes, I think the Nets will make the finals this year if they can stay healthy.  During the season though, I will look to fade them as they try and figure out all the new pieces with a healthy Kyrie and Durant.  The Warriors get a healthy Curry back and he will be out for revenge this season.  I know Klay is out and that is a big blow to them, but they have pieces and I expect Wiseman the rookie to contribute big time for them.

This one just seems a little off to me as I thought Pitt would be favored.  They are playing well winning 5 straight games and covering 4 of those games.  I just think Louisville was a tad overrated to start the year with them losing so many guys.  They were horrible in their only road start last game.  While some might expect a bounce back I think it's tough here and they might be looking. ahead as they have Duke next game. 

I'm going to take Oklahoma here in this game.  I'm just banking. on Tech coming out really flat here following a tough loss to Kansas last game.  I think this Oklahoma team could be a surprising one this year in the Big 12.  Neither team has exactly faced the toughest schedule right now.  I will trust OU to get it done here.

I'm going to trust the Gophers here following an ugly loss to Illinois last night just getting embarrassed on their home floor.  St Louis will have their full attention as they are ranked.  Also St Louis is is. a public team now since they have covered every game so far this season.  This is their first road game of the season so I think a good spot to fade. 

We just have a weird scheduling spot here in this game.  This teams literally played one week ago and the game was. a PK with Georgetown coming out on top.  In that game though they shot 54% from they floor while St Johns just 43%.  G Town also made 11 3's to St John's only making 4.  I think we get a very pissed of St Johns team here at home coming off 3 straight losses 

I'm a fan of this Providence team.  First, they are very well rested following a nice road win @ TCU.  I think it's a great sell high spot here on Seton Hall is has won and covered 4 straight games.  I think both of these teams are very much equal.  Give me the better coach and overall the better talent.

I think the respect for Xavier is getting a little out of hand here.  Yes, they are undefeated so give them credit but this team doesn't pass the eye test here at all.  I think Marquette is much the better team.  I was against Marquette last game in a winner as it was a let down spot after a big road win over Creighton.  Perfect spot here to get back on them.  Also Xavier has been dogs their last two games and now they are favored over a much better team?  Marquette wins outright

It's hard to pass up on Creighton here in this game.  U Conn has only played 3 times and just once against. a power 5 which was USC who is nothing special.  This Creighton team is legit and I am shocked this line isn't bigger.  I will lay it with Creighton

I think the books are telling the story here.  Cincy is a 2-3 bball team and favored on the road over a undefeated Georgia team with Tom Crean?  Georgia has played literally one of the easiest schedules you could have asked for so far.  They were also picked to finish near the bottom on the SEC.  I will take Cincy here

Maybe I'm a sucker here but how can you not take Stanford.  This team is by far much better than Arizona.  The Wildcats have lost a lot and have also played zero competition so far.  Stanford on the other hand has two losses to UNC and Indiana, both quality losses.  Stanford the much better team maybe AZ still getting respect because for their brand 

I think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  Ohio St coming off a tough loss @ Purdue but they were missing Liddell their best player who is expected to be back today.  UCLA is being a little over valued here with 5 straight covers but all were at home.  They dont deserve to be favored here

Maybe this Kentucky team will improve like most of the young ones do, but I honestly dont see it.  I realize this recruiting class like most of theirs every year was highly thought of but if you have watched them they dont pass the eye test at all.  UNC has the huge edge with their big men and will control the game that way.

I will take WKU here.  They have been challenged and beat a healthy UNI team and also Memphis.  They took WVU down to the wire as well.  Bama was just favored by the same over Furman and WKU is a lot bette than Furman.  I think WKU is a live dog here

I will take the Badgers here in this game.  I think people will still lean towards Louisville because of last season but this years team isn't very good.  This will be their first true road test and I simply don't trust them.  Most people had the Badgers finishing 2nd or 3rd in this loaded Big Ten this year.  Wisky returns 4 starters and have a couple transfers.  This team is just a lot better than Louisville.

I will take Seton Hall here tonight.  Marquette is coming off their best performance of the season winning at Creighton.  The thing is though Marquette shot 57% from deep and made 12 3's.  This is a team that averages 8 made 3's a game and just 38%.  I dont think they back those numbers up again.  Seton Hall has also really owned this team. Seton Hall is 10-2 ATS L12 meetings.  Seton Hall has been tested on the road @ Louisville losing by just 1 and a nice road win @ Penn St.  

I'm not impressed at all with this Kansas team.  They dodged a couple bullets beating Kentucky by 3 and Creighton missed a late free throw and they beat them by 1.  The Jaytahwks outside shooting is going to be a major problem for them this season.  I know Texas Tech hasn't played anyone but you could also make the case that they have the better talent.  No one is talking about them right now  and Beard like that with his team going under the radar.  

This might be a public play now but I will grab the Irish.  Duke has looked flat out awful there is no sugar coating here.  Now they are without their best player in Johnson and this team really lacks a go to go who can flat out score.  Notre Dame doesn't care who is playing here for Duke as they are still Duke and they always have a target on their back. 

Ohio St is missing Liddell here tonight which is a huge loss for them being their leading scorer and by far their best player.  They are undefeated but really haven't looked the part with close wins over Umass-Lowell and Cleveland St.  Purdue returns. Hunter their best player so the motivation sides with them here.

Oklahoma St is undefeated and they do have a stud freshman who most are aware of in Cunningham.  I think the love is getting. a little out of control here.  The Cowboys do have a nice road win @ Marquette but they have. played a much easier schedule.  TCU coming off Oklahoma, Providence and Texas A&M so they are battered tested.  My opinion here is that both of these teams are pretty equal so will gladly grab the points here

This line here just doesn't make much sense to me. This is a South Florida team that most projected to be better than Cincy coming into the season.  Cincy has some players hurt and if you have watched them this. season you know they are clearly down.  South Florida has some nice experience and I can't fully them for losses to Rhode Island and Va Tech 

I'm actually a bit surprised this line isn't higher.  Miami has injuries across the board and are missing their two best players tonight.  Yes, they stepped up and beat Purdue but they were way behind in that game.  They also have a third starter very questionable.  Pitt is a improved team and shouldn't have an issue here.

I will take Iowa St tonight and yes I know they aren't very good but literally Kansas St might be the worst power 5 team out there by a landslide.  Iowa St should be hungry after that loss to Iowa.  Iowa St has the better athletes here and fully expect them to show up tonight. 

I will take Georgia Tech here in this game.  Florida St here comes in with a big win over their rival Florida. This Tech team is. very sneaky and I like the way they are trending here.  They are back to back wins over Kentucky and Nebraska with both being away from home.  This is the best team that Pastner has had and I think it will be low scoring and Tech can hang around 

I like Va Tech here in this game.  Clemson is getting a ton of love right now with a 5-0 record and 5-0 ATS record.  Va Tech is coming off an ugly home loss to Penn St but remember this is the only team to beat Nova on the. season.   Clemson also being ranked for the first time has me worried.  Va Tech wins this one 

Here we have a classic situation of the Terps a non ranked team favored over an undefeated ranked. team.  For those who have followed me from the beginning know I make. hay off these types of lines.  Rutgers is a good team but they haven't played a road game yet and Maryland is coming off an ugly loss.  

Both teams have looked good so far but I will go with the better overall talent in my eyes and that is Bama.  Clemson getting a lot of respect for pounding Maryland but the Terps are down big time this season.  

yes this line smells really bad.  I will take Illinois though as they just have so much better talent and coaching.  Mizzou has been a nice surprise team no doubt about it but this short of number I can't.  I know Illinois. off the big Duke win but this is a unknown rivalry here I think Illinois responds. 

Washington is just flat out horrible this year.  They just got their first win in beating Seattle. Oregon has legit top 10 talent on this team and this game should be ugly. 

I'm going to take the points here with Liberty.  This team is actually very good.  They are 4-2 but their two losses were to Purdue and TCU.  Those are obviously both power 5 schools and the. TCU could have gone either way.  Liberty has beat Miss St and South Carolina as well.  I really love that this team has challenged itself.  Also Missouri getting some respect now with wins over Oregon and Wichita St.  They have a huge look ahead game with Illinois.

I will take Oklahoma on the ML here.  I had this team @ TCU in a winner and will come back with them.  Oklahoma has the better talent here and I really like the Reaves kid for them.  Xavier will get a lot of. love because they are 6-0 but boy have they been lucky.  4 of their wins have been by single digits.  I also like the fact they are coming off a big win over their rival in Cincy setting up for a let down here.

I like the Hoosiers here tonight.  To me this is a top 25 team and I think Florida St is still a little over valued simply because of last season.  I really worry about their offense facing tough competition.  Florida St is also ranked which I believe most will side with them.  Indiana has the overall better talent and coaching here.  Indiana has. also played a lot tougher schedule and I think we see this line drop so grab it now.

I will take Nebraska here as I think Hoiberg has this team vastly improved in his second year.  Hoiberg is back to his usually game here with. bringing in a ton of transfers.  I really like the spot for Nebraskas also as Georgia Tech is coming off a big win over Kentucky.  We have seen a weird Georgia Tech team losing to Mercer and Georgia St but as I mentioned beating Kentucky.  I'm going to side with the better coach in this spot. 

So does Duke lose to non conference home games ever??? I'm just willing to bet not.  They have yet to cover a game and granted right now they aren't passing the eye test.  I will say though that Illinois isn't passing it either.  I had higher hopes for Illinois to come out swinging and they aren't.  I trust Duke to get it done.

This Rutgers team I am pretty high on this season in a loaded Big Ten conference.  Rutgers was going to make the Tournament last season before it was cancelled.  They are lead by a lottery prospect in Ron Harper Jr.  They return 4 starters which is huge.  I know Cuse returns 4 starters as well but this was a team that was just a few games over 500.  

I  faded Penn St last game in a winner and will do it again today.  They are coming off a tough OT loss to Seton Hall setting up for a tough spot here.  Penn St just lot a ton from last season and with a new coach I think you wont see big improvement until. well later.  People are. forgetting that this Va Tech team beat Nova and that right now is the biggest win in college hoops.
