This is just a classic example of both teams here being home/road teams.  The Jazz are a terrible 3-13 on the road and have a huge game with the Warriors tomorrow.  The Nuggets are great at home with a 11-3 record.  Also the Jazz have thumped the Nuggets both meetings @ Utah so the revenge is in play here.  Also the Nuggets have everyone back now except Millsap

There is no doubt so far that the Bucks have underachieved.  I think we get a big effort here tonight going up against a Bulls team that just beat them on their home court 10 days ago.  Giannis is probable here for the game and the Bucks are a solid 11-5 at home.  I think this line climbs throughout the day

Have the Thunder figured things out?  I'm not sure but they have won 4 straight and 6 of their last 7 which is going under the radar.  They are also a solid 12-4 at home this season.  The Rockets haven't been themselves as of late losing to the Clippers and Lakers.  They are also only 2-6 ATS their last 8 games.  I don't Paul will play here either tonight

I thin the betting public will be all over the Cavs here beause of their winning streak.  Give them credit during the streak that was snapped by the Bucks, but they only beat 2 teams with a winning record.  Everyone knows Curry is out, but the Warriors still have more than enough pieces and I expect a huge effort and them showing they are still the best.

I actually thought this line was going to be closer to 5 or 6.  The Sixers were an automatic play on team early in the season, but now are a strictly play against.  They have failed to cover 9 straight and have only covered once in their last 10 games.  The Knicks are a great home team with a 15-5 record.  

This seems like a total sucker play, but I have to take the Lakers.  I know the spot coming off Golden St is a tough one, but you cant ignore the fact that Lillard is out again tonight.  Portland looked horrible without him last night and were destroyed on their home court by Denver 

I had the Pelicans last night in an easy winner and will back them again here for the same reasons.  The Miami Heat are extremely banged up with Winslow Whiteside and Dragic all out today and Waiters is doubful.  That's 4 starters when healthy.  Pelicans easy win and cover again

This seems like a huge over reaction just based on last night's results alone.  The Clippers were on fire at Houston and pulled a crazy upset road win as a double digit dog.  Always look to fade teams coming off that emotional win with travel and back to back it doesn't work out in the long run

The Hornets let one slip away last night at Milwaukee and now get to face them again here.   It's easy to see who the motivated team will be in this game.  Based off last night's line the Hornets were 5 point dogs so adjusting this game should be Hornets favored or a PK.  

Seems like this UCLA team is starting to get exposed.  They got drummed at home by Cincy and then followed that up by barely beating South Dakota by 3.  Kentucky didn't look good early as often they do because it takes while for all the new young blood to gel.  Well, I think they are past that period and put the hammer down on the Bruins today

North Carolina is just simply the way better team.  I love the act they laid an egg against Wofford so that should light a fire under them here against a very average Ohio St team.  

There is just no way I can back Xavier here in this game with the injuries they have right now.  I wouldn't be surprised later on in the day if they rested some guys for conference play next week.  UNI on the other hand is at full strength and will be looking for the upset.  UNI is no stranger to playing quality teams as they have played @ UNC and vs Nova.  They have wins over NC St and SMU.  Xavier hasn't looked the same their last 2 games beating East Tenn St by 2 and Marshall by by 4 both were around 20 point favorites in that game.

I think the price is right here to back Iowa.  They have seemed to find their stride now winning their last two games both by nearly 30 points and remind you the largest they were favored was 15 so that is impressive.  This young team really struggled out of the gates there is no doubt about it.  They seem to be playing with some extra confidence right now

This might be a neutral court game but it's still being played in Alabama.  I just dont trust this Texas team at all.  They seem to really be struggling on offense and part of that is some key injuries as well.  They only scored 47 in a one point win over Tenn St last game.  Bama is very much improved with offensive fire power.  I think they run away here

I had the Knicks last night +3 over Boston as they won SU.  Out of principle now you have to fade them in this spot.  The Knicks have been a great home team and awful road team.  They are just 2-9 SU on the road.  The Pistons have won 3 of their last 4 and are fresh here only playing their 2nd game in 5 days

I normally don't look to lay this many points with a team on the road, but given the situation I think you have to.  The Pelicans will be hungry for a road win here and are coming off two days rest.  The other main thing is that the Magic are down to no body dealing with injuries.  Gordon Fournier and Issac are all out tonight 

Both teams played last night in losing efforts and neither did cover as well.  The Suns are still without Booker, but I don't think they should be an underdog to a team was has 3 road wins on the season.  Grizzlies are coming off a tougher game against the Warriors as I think it's always hard to bounce back from the Warriors as everyone wants to beat them

I like the Knicks in this spot catching the Celtics on a back to back.  The Knicks have had two days off here and can't fault them for their recent loss because Hardaway and Porzingis were both out.  Prior to that they have won 4 straight.  Celtics are slipping a little bit here just 4-4 SU their last 8 games.  

This is a gut check game for Indiana here.  They upset Notre Dame 2 games ago in a big come back and then laid a complete egg against last time out.  Tenn Tech has been on the road against some same teams like TCU and lost by 31.  I think the Hoosiers respond here tonight

I normally stay away or look to fade a team coming off a long road stretch.  I just think Portland is simply playing to well right now not to back.  They have covered 6 straight games and should win here tonight given the fact Leonard and Parker are both out for the Spurs. 

The price is right here to back the Nuggets at home where they have been quietly one of the best teams with a SU 11-2 record.  There is still something wrong with this T Wolves team for whatever reason.  They don't play well together and there is a lot of standing around.  Jokic is back which is a key piece for the Nuggets

I will give Furman a fighting chance here.  They are 9-3 this year with two losses coming on the road to Butler and Duke.  So they have been tested.  I also think with Tennessee coming off a hard fought loss vs UNC last game this is a flat spot for them.  The Vols in a similar spot with Liscomb were favored by 17 and only won by 10 

I have backed the Bulls a lot during this stretch and will take them again here.  The Magic will be without Gordon and Fournier tonight giving the Bulls the edge here.  I realize the Bulls do have a big look ahead game on deck with the Cavs tomorrow, but they are playing a Magic team that has lost 5 straight 

This is one of those weird spots here.  Nebraska has played 4 straight tough games Michigan St, Minnesota, Creighton and the heart breaking loss to Kansas last time out.  They have been great in that underdog role but will they be as focused for this game?  I doubt it.  Texas San An lost at Oklahoma only by 12 as 23 point dogs by 4 at Tulsa as 10 point dogs.  I think this team is more than capable to hang around given the spot

I'm going to take the Bucks here tonight as I think we get a huge effort from them coming off two days rest.  Yes, they havent been playing well but I think they get the revenge here after losing the first two matchups this season

I like the Suns here who are coming off a nice upset win over the T Wolves last game.  I just think this is a tough spot for the Mavs to get up for.  They have played the Spurs, Warriors, Spurs their last 3 games and now the Suns here.  I will take the points

I have backed the Bulls the last 3 games during this 5 game winning streak.  Why not take them again as they are obviously playing their best basketball of the season.  The main key for me is that Embiid is out tonight for this game.  I think the Bulls make it 6 straight 

I know Butler is questionable here but I think the T Wolves respond with a big effort after laying a big egg last game out against the Suns.  Portland is now playing their 5 straight road game coming off 3 straight wins.  This will be their 4th road game in 6 days here.  

Late Add

This is my play of the day here.  Yes, this Florida team has struggled quite a bit but they still have the talent of a top 5 team in the country.  You can't fault them for their 2 point loss to Duke.  They did suffer and ugly loss to their rival FSU, but they look very good at the moment.  I don't think Clemson has really been challenged yet

I think Iowa St is getting the benefit of the doubt here.  I'm not sure they are actually the better team.  Cyclones just struggle shooting and with a young team on a neutral court against a very veteran team like UNI who has played a lot tougher this season, I think the Panthers walk away with a win

It's really hard telling how good this Oklahoma team is right now.  They beat Oregon, but they are very down this year and USC has been a big disappointment.  I think the Shockers take the stud freshman PG out of the game for OU and make someone else beat them.  This is a veteran group of shocker players here.  This will also be the Sooners first true road game

This is a neutral court game and I don't think Indiana has the horses here to keep up.  This ND team is a legit top 10 team and will create havoc on Indiana who really doesn't have a go to guy.  

Now is the time to back Kentucky here as they have struggled ATS wise, but they are still far superior talent than Virginia Tech.  Va Tech has been covering game but look at who they have played.  I'm not sold this will be a big step up in class here

I think we get a nice bounce back here for the Hornets tonight who just recently lost to this Heat team.  The Hornets are now fully healthy and play their best basketball at home.  The Heat also aren't playing that well themselves.  

The Thunder are coming off an emotional win with Paul George returning to his hometown @ Indiana, but the Thunder looked awful in that game.  The ball movement still doesn't exist on this team.  I think the Sixers will be up for the challenge here and they are playing with some confidence coming off a nice road win @ Minnesota 

The Magic are dealing with some major injuries right now with Fournier being out and Gordon looking out as well.  I think Portland has now turned the corner from their struggles covering 3 straight and coming off a road win @ Miami.  

I like the Nets here in this spot against the Knicks tonight to get revenge from an ugly loss ealier this season.  The Knicks are 1-8 on the road this season.  The Nets have been a play on team here at home with a 7-4 ATS record.  Also the Nets have won 3 of their last 4 games and have covered 10 of their last 12 games. 

Let's take a big underdog here in Portland St tonight.  I think this is obviously a lot bigger game for them wanting to beat big brother sort of speak here.  This Portland St team had a halftime lead over Duke this year.  This Oregon team just lost so much last season they cant replace.  They just beat Texas Southern by 6 as 20 point favorites last time out.  

Not a popular play at all here but the Bulls are riding a 3 game winning streak at the moment.  They have covered 4 straight and are 5-1-1 ATS L7 games.  They are playing their best basketball of the season right now coming off a huge win over Boston.  The Jazz here have been pretty bad on the road this season with a 2-9 SU record 

This will be the public side here but I will roll with Indiana.  I think Oladipo will wnat something to prove here tonight against his old team.  Also clearly there is something wrong with OKC they have failed to cover 9 straight.  OKC is also just 3-10 SU on the road this season

The Suns gave a big effort last time out barely losing to the Spurs.  I doubt the intensity is as high here vs a Kings team equal to them.  I do think the Kings here will be out for revenge after losing by 2 @ Phoenix as 2 point favorites earlier this season.  Kings have covered 3 of their last 4 games and I think they handle business with Booker out 

Like the Longhorns here hosting Michigan.  I just think Texas is a lot better than Michigan.  Remember this Texas team held a double digit lead against Duke on a neutral court in the 2nd half to lose in OT.  I'm not sold on Michigan especially after last game where they won and covered in OT against UCLA who actually blew that game.  

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.  

Late NBA Add

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.  

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

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. 

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

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.  

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.

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.

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

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
