BIG TEN GAME OF THE WEEK!

Love Indiana in this spot as they were just 3 point dogs to Purdue who most would make the case they are the best team in the Big Ten.  Michigan is also coming off their biggest win of the season blowing out their rival Michigan St so they are in a classic let down spot.  I expect Indiana to bounce back here.  The Hoosiers haven't forgot about the 30 point blowout @ Michigan but that was when Indiana was extremely banged up.

I will back the red hot Trojans here at home who have won 5 straight and 6 of 7.  A win here tonight by the Trojans would have them just one game back of Oregon for 2nd place in the PAC 12.  I fee like this is a difficult spot as well with Oregon coming off a heart breaker @ UCLA in a game they did control for 70%.  USC on the other hand has had this one circled wanting revenge from earlier this season.  USC shot a miserable 31% form the field that game you can expect that to change here tonight 

The Thunder took care of business last game vs the Cavs who were playing on a back to back situation.  I expect the Thunder to really give the Warriors all they want here as the Thunder have lost both meetings, but but @ Warriors.  Obviously this will be Duran'ts first game back in OKC which I believe will cause a distraction.  

St Marys is a team that is quietly going under the radar for a team that is 22-2 on the season.  This game is their whole season quite frankly.  The value is definitely with St. Marys here as they were only 5 point underdogs @ Gonzaga and now zero adjustment for their home court?  I expect this line to drop as it will be a sharp/ square divide 

I will back Miss St here as they are a perfect 7-0 ATS as a home dog the last two seasons.  They have lost 3 of their last 4 but all those were on the road.  They have beat Tennessee and A&M @ home while giving Kentucky all they could handle losing by 7 as an 8 point dog.  South Carolina is coming off a quadruple OT loss to Bama.  It will be very difficult here for them as that equal to playing 2 games in itself.  Wouldn't be surprised to see the Bulldogs win this 

The Irish here are on a bounce back after they just had a brutal schedule playing Duke Carolina and Virginia in a 3 out of 4 span.  FSU is getting a lot of credit because of their last two blowout wins @ home, but look who they were against Clemson and NC St.  FSU has struggled on the road this season losing 3 of its last 4 with their win being a 2 point victory over Miami.  Notre Dame also has the revenge factor losing by 3 @ Florida St.

Don't like going against my team, but Iowa is in a tough here.  They are coming off a double OT loss @ Minnesota in a game where their key players logged over 40 minutes.  Now they go on the road again in a tough environment against a team Izzo will have ready after they were just flat out embarrassed by their in state rival Michigan last game.  The whole situation spells disaster for the Hawkeyes 

This is a very short price here for a UCF team that has had a brutal schedule run.  4 of their last 6 games have been on the road and all against the upper teams in the conference.  UConn is 4-1 their last 5, but have been beating up the bottom feeders along during that stretch.  Also UCF will want revenge after shooting a terrible 33% in their first meeting.  

The Hornets end their slide here tonight.  The Clippers are in a weird stretch of games here playing their 9th game road of the last ten games.  I'm not buying much stock into the Clippers beating the Knicks when they actually should have lost that game.  The Clippers are playing zero defense with Paul being out giving up 100+ points in 10 straight games.  

It's very rare this late in the season you can get 6 points with a team on their home court that has a record of 14-1.  Kansas was only favored by 2.5 @ Kansas St who is worse than Tech.  I also think Kansas is in a tough spot here as they play on Big Monday against West Virginia who they were ran out of the gym by when they met earlier in the season.  So this game I could see them taking it lightly while Tech wants another huge home win to try and secure a spot in the tournament

I will back Illinois here as both teams are coming off upsets.  I am more impressed with Illinois beating NW despite NW having an injury to a key player.  Penn St beat Maryland in a shocking fashion, but traveling has been hard for this young group.  Their only conference road win was @ Rutgers.  Major letdown spot here

I know I like to play the revenge factor and yes the Warriors due have that with this game, but just a ton of points.  I also think this is a team that simply has the Warriors number as they are 2-0 against them this year.  Warriors due have a big look ahead game tomorrow @ OKC which will be Durant's first game back there.  Despite all the injuries the Grizzlies seem to battle every year they have won and covered 6 of their last 7.  

This is a huge game on the A10 tonight as Rhode Island looks to pull even with Dayton for a tie in 2nd place.  Rhode Island is quietly playing their best basketball right now winning and covering 4 straight.  This line should be higher he also given the fact Rhode Island was favored @ Dayton in a losing effort by just 3 points.  They most definitely have revenge on their minds here tonight.  

We are getting a discount here with UCLA due to Oregon's recent stretch of play.  The Ducks are coming off an impressive blowout win over Arizona.  In the first meeting here UCLA was favored by 1 @ Oregon and it took a last second shot at the buzzer for the Ducks to win.  So with that line this one should be closer to 8.  However the betting public has cooled off on UCLA since they have only covered 3 of their last 10 games.  I see the Bruins getting big time revenge here

This is a statement game for Duke plain and simple.  If they are truly trying to turn around their season it starts tonight.  While I do believe UNC is the better team because they are more balanced Duke does have the edge when it comes to guards.  UNC has been very shaky to say the least on the road this season as well.  They were blown out @ Miami recently, lost at Georgia Tech, barely won @ Clemson, Wake and BC.  Those teams are all in the bottom of this league so that is very concerning even this is a short trip and obviously the biggest rivalry in college bball.

I missed the better number here last night but still like Indiana here in big rivalry game.  With this line continuing to drop Blackmon is obviously playing here.  Indiana isn't getting much love but 3 of their recent losses were all on the road and two were against tournament teams.  The other was Michigan and we saw what they did to Sparty the other night.  Indiana is an extremely tough place to play and they would love nothing more to beat Purdue tonight.

This line has jumped a lot, but I'm not sure it's worthy.  ASU has been playing better as of late covering 4 of their last 5.  I believe Cal has benefited from a pretty easy schedule so far an not that ASU is a great team I just need to see more from Cal on the road.  They also have a huge look ahead game with Arizona on deck.  ASU was only down 1 @ half earlier in the season to Cal

The Miami Heats winning streak comes to an end here tonight.  This will be the last meeting of the season between these two teams with the home team covering every game so far.  Also last time the Bucks covered @ home they were 7.5 point favorites so we are getting a discount because of the Heat's winning streak.  Middleton also returns tonight while I know most will be against that because of chemistry issues, I believe it will provide a spark for this young Bucks team 

I don't really believe that the Knicks should be underdogs here in this situation.  I know they haven't been playing the greatest but I expect them to respond here after losing to the Lakers.  The Clippers aren't playing very well as they are just 2-7 SU their L9 games.  

I'm gonna fade the Cavs again here on the road.  That was the worst NBA beat I have had in a while w/ LeBron hitting a fade away bank in 3 to send it to OT.  This Cavs team is just average when it comes to playing on the road as they are 13-10.  The Pacers are a very good 20-6 @ home.  Pacers are also playing with a ton of confidence right now winning 7 in a row.  

I will take Boston College here as I thin they should be favored.  These are the two worst teams in the ACC, bu BC has been much more competitive.  I realized Pitt played Duke and UNC tough last week but neither of those teams were interested in that game.  It will be hard for Pitt to get up here especially since they have rival Cuse waiting on deck.  

This is another situation that is very difficult.  Iowa St is coming off an incredible win @ Kansas in which is obviously extremely rare.  They made a school record 18 3's which was what helped them escape with a victory.  This is going to be extremely hard for Iowa St to duplicate that performance.  Also they will probably fall in love with the 3 and shoot themselves right out of it 

This is a revenge game here.  Michigan just low @ Sparty only by 8 despite shooting 34% while Sparty shot over 50%.  Not going to get to much into detail here but Sparty has struggled on the road this season and will gladly go against them in winning back to back road games

Syracuse is now getting a lot of respect because they have won and covered 4 in a row.  Clemson has been a disappointing team this season but they do protect their home court.  Their 3 home losses were by a combined total of 8 points.  Clemson is coming off a 40 + point loss @ Florida St so this is a great bounce back spot against Cuse who is coming off a big upset over Virginia

One of the hardest situations in all over college basketball.  Florida is coming off a blowout win over Kentucky.  The Gators simply couldn't do anything wrong.  Now they travel giving us the value with Georgia.  The Bulldogs record may not reflect much but they have covered 6 of their last 8.  They also just lost @ South Carolina by 2 and took Kentucky to OT @ Kentucky.  Georgia also had Florida on the ropes in the first meeting only losing by 4 @ Florida 

I know I know going against Maryland.  This line smells the worst of any game this season. Everyone and their mother will be on Maryland but I am going to trust the odds makers here.   

The Mavs are getting a little to much respect IMO now.  They have won and covered 4 straight including big wins over the Spurs and Cavs.  This Nuggets team has been playing better as they have won 6 of their L7 home games.  

The Pacers are now starting to play up to their capability winning 6 straight.  I like their chances of making it 7.  Thunder have won 2 games in a row against the Grizzlies and Trailblazers, but this is their 2nd of a back to back here.  The Thunder have two huge games on deck here hosting the Cavs and Warriors so this is a great spot to fade them.

Odds maker error

This is no reason for the Wizards to be underdogs as they are one of if not the hottest team in the league right now.  The Cavs have already won @ Washington earlier so this is a great spot for revenge considering The Wizards have won 11 of their last 12 and 11 straight home games.  This team will be ready for the big game.  I dont trust the Cavs at all on the road as they are barely above .500 and are just 8-14 ATS on the road

I will back Virginia here even though I missed on the good number.  Virginia was upset by Cuse over the weekend.  Virginia has already beat Louisville on their home court by 8.  This shouldn't be a problem for Virginia at all here.  Virginia also has one of the most underrated home courts in the country.  

colorado is coming off two big wins in a row beating Oregon and Stanford as underdogs.  They shot 53% from the field vs Stanford and that won't happen here.  Cal is just quietly going about their business with a 13-2 home record and they have won 6 of their last 7.  The betting public won't have anything to do with them since they have only covered 2 during those 7 games

I will back the Hawkeyes @ home here as they are coming off back to back wins and granted it was only Ohio St and Rutgers but they did that without their best player in Jok.  He returns today and Nebraska has lost Morrow which is major facing Iowa here.  Plus the Hawkeyes haven't forgot about the double OT loss @ Nebraska earlier this month 

This Florida team is simply being under valued here and quite frankly I have been one of those this year.  They are quietly playing some of the best basketball around.  They are coming off 3 blowout wins and are sitting one game behind Kentucky in the SEC.  Kentucky has been very shaky on the road in conference losing @ Tennessee only beating Miss St by 7 and just escaping @ Vandy.  Florida is a whole different challenge

I expect a lot better effort here from the Pelicans as they just met last week.  The Wizards lines are all being inflated now because of their long winning streak.  The Wizards also have a huge game

on deck with the Cavs so you can expect alook ahead factor here

I truly question how much is left in the tank for this young Oklahoma team.  They are coming off a brutal heart breaking loss to rival Oklahoma St which makes it 3 of the last 4 they have lost by 5 or less.  It's extremely hard for a young team to bounce back from that.  Tech on the other hand will have plenty of motivation as they lost @ OU.  Plus Tech is coming off a loss @ Texas so a great spot here 

We are getting really good value UCF due to the fact they have lost 4 in a row.  Well let's look back 3 of those were on the road and two were 5 point losses which one was to Memphis.  It tells me UCF is a lot better than their record and recent play indicates.  UCF beat a good Houston team @ home and slaughtered a good Temple team at that time @ home as well.  Memphis has also only covered once in the last 7 games as well.

St Bonaventure is always one of the teams in the A10 that simply doesn't get enough credit.  They are still in the hunt to win the conference title, but in order to do so they need this win.  I believe they get the job done.  VCU is a household name and get a lot of love, but this isn't your normal VCU team.  Their last two road games they lost @ Davidson and Fordham.  VCU has also had the benefit to play @ home their last 3 games as well.  

I will take my chances with the Ducks here who are having a great season themselves, but don't get the pub Arizona does.  Oregon's only game that have failed to cover @ home in the conference was their last barely beating Arizona St, but they weren't interested in that clearly looking ahead to this game.  They match up extremely well vs AZ and Dana Altman @ home is scary.

We are going to start to see the real Georgia Tech team showing up.  They were down 21 @ Clemson last game and made a crazy come back but yet failed to cover.  I just believe Wake is a lot better this team has improved so much.  They are 3-2 their L5 games with a 5 poing loss @ Cuse and a 2 point heart breaking loss to Duke in which they controlled the whole game.  

I was against Syracuse the other night as they hit a lucky 3 with one second left to force OT and ended up winning @ NC ST.  Well now they should have all the confidence in the world and this team needs a huge win as they sit outside the bubble for now.  Virginia is also in a tough stretch here coming off a heart breaker on Sunday @ Nova traveled back home to face rival Va Tech and now have Big Monday looming with Louisville coming to town.  

I will take the Blazers here as they are quietly playing better and the Mavs are simply due for a major let down after beating the likes of the Spurs, Cavs and red hot Sixers.  Portland has also won 4 of their last 5 and you can bet they havent forgot about the loss they suffered to the Mavs when they were the worst rates team in the league over a month ago at home.  Portland gets big time revenge here tonight 

The Thunder are coming off an ugly loss to the Bulls @ home by 28 points.  I fully expect them to bounce back here tonight.  The Grizzlies are in the midst of a tough road trip which this will be their 5th road game in a row.  They are also getting love because they have won and covered 3 straight while the Thunder have lost and failed to cover 3 straight.  The other two Thunder losses were two the Spurs and Cavs I'm not worries about those.  The home team has covered each time so far this year in this meeting 

We all know the Zags are the only team in the country undefeated.  Tonight is one of those games against a quality team with an outstanding home court it could happen.  We are just getting so many points here @ home with BYI who has only lost once there.  This is a rivalry game as well.  BYI would love nothing more than to spoil their perfect season.  Will gladly take the 8.5 here

PAC TOP PLAY 12

Both of these teams are down this year compared to what we have seen in the past.  Stanford is being under valued here because of their 2 recent games, but there is no shame in losing on the road @ Oregon and @ Cal.  Colorado is just 3-7 on the road and are coming off a huge upset win over Oregon.  Stanford rings the bell tonight and get a win @ home where they are 7-3 on the seaosn

This is simply to hard to pass up here.  The Clippers were just flat out embarrassed losing by 46 @ Golden St the other night.  Both teams played last night and won fairly easy.  I realize the Clippers are missing their stud Chris Paul, but they most definitely want revenge here for tonight.  You can expect the Clippers to throw everything at them here as they have a big road trip coming up and this is the game they want the most.  

Cal is quietly playing good ball right now winning 4 of their last 5.  The line is low because they have only covered once during those 5 games.  Utah is still getting respect from their recent stretch of covering 5 in a row but they have failed their last two.  Cal has a ton of talent and I look for them to take this one

I know this won't be a popular play here give the situation.  Nebraska is coming off a nice upset win over Purdue and some will be making the case it is a let down spot for them.  The fact they were on a losing skid and came away with that win should only give them the confidence they need here tonight.  Michigan St is a team I simply don't trust on the road their only Big Ten road win was the first game of the conference season @ Minnesota in OT.  Nebraska has been on the wrong end of close games losing back to back games by 1 point last week.  I see them pulling this one out

We are getting the value with Seton Hall here because of their recent struggles and also for the fact Xavier defends their home court very well.  However, as most know now Xavier lost their best player in Sumner for the rest of the season.  He was the guy who made everyone around him better and the one who could create for himself at any given time.  This is a big blow for this team.  Seton Hall matches up very well now with them since Sumner is out.  

I just cant believe the Mavs, I repeat the Mavs are laying 6.5 to anybody.  Yes they are off back to back wins over the Spurs and Cavs, but talk about the ultimate let down spot.  This Sixers team is playing with a ton of energy right now and were one of the best teams in the league during January.  They are 9-4 SU their last 13 games.  I will take the live dog here

The Heat are under valued here tonight as they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now.  They have won and covered 8 in a row here and have seemed to found something.  Granted a lot of these game are at home so I won't be looking to go against them until they hit the road.  The Hawks have won both meetings but only beat Miami by 3 in Miami first go around

NBA PLAY OF THE DAY!

Really like the Celtics here tonight as they are catching the Raptors on a back to back situation.  Also the Celtics have dropped both games to the Raptors this year including one at home already so they definitely have that in their head here.  Also the Raptors aren't playing very well as they were lucky to beat the Pelicans last night, they are just 2-6 SU their last 8 games.  Boston is 7-3 SU their last 10 including 4 in a row.  Celtics take care of business

This is going to look like a huge line but the give the spot/ situation it couldn't be any worse for Georgia Tech.  They are coming off back to back huge upsets and now travel to Clemson where the Tigers will want revenge here.  I would have been hesitant to back Clemson here but they showed a lot of fight last game @ Pitt to come away with a win.  I look for them to lay the beat down tonight.

No choice but to take Providence here.  They just gave Villanova all they could handle just 10 days ago on their court losing by 10 but covering as a 15 point underdog.  Nova is in a difficult spot here as they are coming off a huge come back win and late second tip in to beat Virginia by two.  Providence is playing with a lot of confidence after winning @ Marquette as a 8 point underdog.  

One of the most confusing lines of the year in college IMO.  We have a Syracuse team who is 0-7 away from home this year against an NC St team who is 11-2 at a PK.  Cuse is coming off two wins and covers including a big upset over Florida St, while NC St was in a bad spot @ Louisville getting blown out after upsetting Duke on the road the game before.  NC St can make the tournament and they need this in the worst way if want to do so. 

The Hornets will be without Cody Zeller again here tonight and they miss him a lot more than one would expect.  Portland is starting to play better winning 3 of their last 4 with their only loss being a close one by 2 points to the Warriors.  Portland will also want revenge here as they were destroyed by 22 @ Hornets.  

This is simply just to hard to pass up.  Not very often you see a team that wins on the road as a double digit underdog returns home to play a team similar to them and they are underdogs again.  I just believe Tennessee is getting a lot of respect because of their 3 previous games which included a blowout win over Miss St, a huge upset over Kentucky and a double digit win over Kansas St.  Auburn is a border line tourney team and need this game 

BIG 12 Game Of The Year!

I love Iowa St here tonight on their home floor.  This to me is do or die for the Cyclones tonight.  They have games @ Kansas and @ Texas next.  With coming off a bad loss @ Vandy and a loss here tonight they would nearly be eliminated from the tournament.  I actually feel that West Virginia and their pressing style will play right into the hands of Iowa St.  The Cyclones have one of the best PG's in the country in Morris who takes care of the ball.  This press won't rattle them and I believe that will create a lot of easy shots.  I still think West Virginia is being over valued with their win over Kansas, prior to that game they lost to Oklahoma @ home and @ Kansas St who is no where near as talented as Iowa St.

I will back the Rockets here laying the big number.  I know this is their first game back off a long road trip, but they should have no problem here with the Kings as they have beaten them by 11 @ SAC and by 34 @ home.  They key here is the travel for the Kings this is their last game of a 8 game road trip and 2nd of a back to back.  They gave everything they had last night @ Philly knowing tonight would be a loss.  I see little to no effort here.  

This game is all about revenge here for me.  Loyola is 4-1 their last 5 which is playing into this line.  During that stretch though they were beating the bottom feeders.  Missouri St will be extra hungry here after suffering back to back 1 point losses.  Also as I have mentioned the revenge here, Missouri St blew a 11 point half time lead the first time around so you can bet that is in their mind here as well. 

I will take Boston College here as they are a live dog in this situation.  Wake Forest is coming off a heart breaking loss to Duke in a game they blew big time down the stretch.  Sure Boston College only has 2 conference wins, but they have played a very tough schedule in the ACC.  Their recent play suggests they are due for a win.  Lost by 8 @ home to Carolina as 19 point dogs, by 1 @ Miami, and 6 @ Va Tech.  They will also want revenge here on Wake a team they lead @ half @ Wake earlier this season

I understand people are tired of me going against Maryland, but trust me this team isn't that good.  Even Oddsmakers don't feel they are by the lines they continue to get.  Ohio St is coming off a rough loss @ Iowa so are in a big bounce back spot here.  Maryland's hot shooting comes to an end here tonight.  Ohio St is just a couple buckets from being undefeated @ home in conference with losses to Northwestern by 2 and Purdue by 1.  

I'm surprised this one wasn't higher.  I'm not looking much in to Creighton's last game vs Depaul who they blew out.  This is simply not the same team without Watson.  Butler is also coming off a bad loss @ home vs Georgetown but the Hoyas shot 64% for the game which is crazy.  Butler will also want revenge from earlier this season

I will take the Suns here in this spot.  This team is playing a ton better than they started the season off.  Granted they have lost 3 in a row, but they are 5-2 ATS L7 games.  Grizzlies I doubt are to motivated here in this spot being their 3rd road game in 4 days.  Suns are live dogs here

I'm gonna back the Sooners here in a big rivalry game.  Oklahoma is coming off it's worst game of the season shooting 27% against Florida.  This is a prime bounce back spot for them here.  It was just a few games ago this team went on the road and beat West Virginia.  Oklahoma St has been a nice surprise this season but dont deserve to be favored here.  

NCAAB Blowout 

I will back Northwestern here as I thought this line would be closer to double digits.  Indiana is coming off an ugly loss to Michigan and things aren't getting any better as OG and Blackmon are both out.  NW isnt taking any teams lightly as this will be the first time they make the tournament 

I realize the Wizards are one of the hottest teams in the league right now but for a team with a 7-14 road record and coming off a blowout road win I just can't back them.  Pelicans are quietly playing their best ball beating the Cavs and Spurs 2 of their last 3 games.  I see the Wizards streak coming to an end

Im gonna back the Pacers here as they are 9-4 SU their last 13 games.  The Rockets are struggling right now just 3-6 SUntheirnlast 9 games.  Pacers have been a very tough out at home with a 17-6 home record

NCAAB MARQUEE MATCH UP

I will back Nova here as they return home from blowing a huge lead and ultimately losing @ Marquette.  Virginia is a quality team coming off a big win @ Norte Dame but they shot the lights out of it while ND shot their worst from the 3 pt line.  Nova defends the 3 point hit very well holding teams to 29% on their home court.  This will be a big bounce back here

Spartans are being way under valued here in a rivalry game.  Sparty has lost 3 in a row and 4 of 5 which is creating the value.  3 of those game were on road while the other was against the best team in the conference in Purdue.  Michigan has yet to win a conference road game and are coming off a huge blowout win over Indiana making them over valued

NBA LATE NIGHT NO BRAINER

Really like the Suns here to get revenge on the Nuggets as this is a home and home situation.  The Suns hung tough @ Denver only losing by 7 despite being out rebounded by 17. That definitely wont happen tonight.  Also I doubt the Nuggets will be to focused since they did just win.   

Really like this young Iowa squad tonight to bounce back after losing 3 in a row.  Iowa has played very well @ home with a 10-3 record.  Ohio St is just 2-5 on the road this season.  Ohio St might be caught looking ahead here as they have Big Ten leaders in Maryland on Super Tuesday

We are getting really good value here with Penn St as they are coming back home after two blowout losses on the road.  Illinois is coming off a double digit win over Iowa, but looking back they haven't won a conference road game and in fact only one of those did they keep it within 10 points.  

The wrong team is favored here IMO. This Iowa St team has been very lucky the last two games winning in double OT @ Oklahoma then blowing a 20 pt lead in the 2nd half to K St, but covered late due to free throws.  Vandy has played team very tough having a 6 point loss to Kentucky, they won @ Florida which is impressive

As most of you know by now I'm not high on this Maryland team at all. They have been extremely lucky in every close game.  Minnesota has been very unlucky the last few games.  They have lost the last three games with two of them being on the road by a total of 10 points.  Minnesota bounces back in a big way @ home today where they are 12-2.

This is a young Oklahoma team, but I expect them to respond here after suffering a double OT loss to Iowa St and a one point loss to Texas their last game.  Florida is being over valued here after they just won on the road @ LSU by over 30. 

This line is just begging you to take Tennessee here as they are coming off a huge upset win over Kentucky.  This is a massive let down situation here and I believe Kansas St will take care of business as they have a sour taste in their mouth from letting the Iowa St game get away from them.

Late Night No Brainer

I will take my chances with Portland here tonight as they have no won back to back games and seem to have found a little something.  The Grizzlies aren't in great form here recently as they did beat the Raptors last game, but Toronto is banged up right now.  

NBA PLAY OF THE DAY!

Really like the value with the Hawks here as a short home favorite. Both teams are playing very well right now, especially the Wizards who have covered 7 straight.  They key for me is that this Wizards team is just terrible on the road with a 6-14 record.  This is will be the third meeting between these two with the home team winning and covering both.  I see the same happening tonight 

Wrong Team Favored!

I believe since the Hornets did have a 3 home game winning streak last week that is playing into this line and with the Knicks just losing @ Dallas as well.  The Mavs are playing better right now so that loss doesn't look as bad in my eyes.  Also the Hornets have lost 6 straight road games and 7 of 8 with their only road win being against the Magic. Knicks bounce back here and they have covered both games this season against the Hornets

This won't be a popular choice by any means.  Oregon is hot covering every game so far in conference play, but this Utah team is now at full strength and they are a very dangerous home team.  This will by far be Oregon's toughest road game of the year so far and I look for them to go down tonight.  

Will lay the number here with Michigan @ home.  Indiana has proven to be a very poor road team and are coming in over valued as they have won 3 straight.  Also Michigan is very good @ home having an 11-2 record this season.  

I will lay the points here with this veteran group in Cincinnati.  This is one of the biggest rivalries in college basketball that doesn't get enough love.  This Bearcat team will be very motivated here as they were swept by Xavier last year.  Cincy has been absolutely rolling as of late.  Xavier has had some trouble in road game and I expect the same here

I believe this Seton Hall team is a lot better than people believe.  In conference they have won every home and lost every road game so far.  However, they have been very competitive as they went down @ Marquette by 3 and @ Providence by 4.  This is a team that is right on the edge of a big resume win and that happens tonight.  Butler has lost SU on road to St Johns and just barely beat DePaul by 1 on the road last game. 

Davis is probable for return here tonight.  When that becomes official I believe this line will flip for the Pelicans being favored.  The Pelicans are coming off a huge win and while most people will look at that as a let down for this game you have to realize Davis their best player didn't play.  This team is playing with a lot of confidence and still have a legit shot to make the playoffs as the 8th seed.  They need all the home wins possible.  Thunder have already beat them twice so I do like them to at least get one win. 

Love Boston here in this spot as the Rockets are being way over valued.  Boston played last night, but that was in DC which is being played into the line, but that isn't a true road game for travel purposes.  Boston was just very unlucky last night as no matter what the Wizards did the ball went in.  Evidence is that they nearly shot 60% for the game which is unheard of.  The Rockets aren't playing their greatest ball right now either as they are just 3-5 SU their last 8 games. 

Ohio St has been on the wrong side of a lot of close games.  They just lost Sunday to Northwestern by 2, they lost to Purdue by 1, Illinois by 5.  This Buckeye team will want revenge from an earlier loss to Minnesota.  The Gophers were a hot team when the Buckeyes played them, now they have cooled off.  During that game Minnesota hit 4 more threes and 8 more free throws and couldn't blow them away.  Ohio St gets a much needed win here as Minnesota as a huge look ahead with Big Ten leader Maryland

I realize this won't be a popular play by any means, but this Creighton team is about to hit a major wall here IMO with their leader Watson out for remainder of season.  Creighton just gave up 102 points @ home in a loss to Marquette.  While Marquette is a good team, the effect of him being out has already been seen.  I will look to fade Creighton for a while before bigger line adjustments happen in a few games

Nuggets are definitely worth a look here against the Jazz.  This has been a series so far this year won by the home team. This is the last meeting of the year between these two so you can expect the Nuggets will want to even this series.  Nuggets are playing very well right now winning 4 of 6  

This is Iowa St team has under achieved no doubt on the season.  They fought hard last game @ Oklahoma to win in double OT.  They aren't getting much respect here because they did just lose to Kansas @ home and Kansas St is coming off a huge win over West Virginia.  This is a very short price for a great home court 

Really like Syracuse here tonight taking on Wake Forest.  Wake iscoming off two wins as a underdog and this is a very hard role. Syracuse is coming off back to back losses, but both were on the road and to quality teams in ND and UNC.  Cuse is 11-2 @ home which they will get the job done tonight 

I like the Celtics here tonight as we are getting a good priced based only because the Wizards are playing good ball right now.  The have covered 6 in a row which is making them over valued here and just played last night @ Hornets in a hard fought win.  Celtics have had 2 days off so you can expect a big effort from them.  

I like West Virginia here taking on Kansas. The Jayhawks are 18-1 on the season, but I dont feel are playing the best and are just squeaking by.  Kansas has only covered 2 games in their last 8. We are all familiar with the style of WVU which I feel will create a problem for Kansas here.  

I believe the wrong team is favored here.  Sure Michigan St isn't the same powerhouse as they have been in the past, but they are still 9-1 @ home this season.  Purdue has only played 2 conference road games and they lost @ Iowa and only beat Ohio St by 1.  I look for Sparty to get the job done 

I like the value here with the Pelicans as the Cavs aren't playing very well lately.  Cavs are just 2-8 ATS L10 while the Pelicans are in a big bounce back spot here after getting embarrassed to the Nets.  Pelicans have also had 2 days of rest and Davis will be playing tonight.

This is just to good to pass up here.  Plain and simple for me here was that the Bucks were getting this many points @ Houston last week alone.  They will definitely want the revenge in this spot and the Rocket I doubt are to interested here tonight. 

Will gladly lay the number here with the Hornets as they are playing better winning 3 in a row.  Wizards simply over valued due to them covering 5 straight.  This Wizards team is just 5-14 on the road.  I don't trust them in these situations at all

This won't be a popular play at all as Clemson has lost 5 straight and are 1-5 SU in conference.  During that stretch though have a 3 point loss to UNC 5 point loss to Notre Dame and 4 point loss to Virginia.  All those teams are at the top of the ACC.  This Va Tech team has been a nice surprise but they have benefited from having 3 straight conference home games.  Looking back at their 2 conference road games they were blown out in both,  I see it no different tonight

The Buckeyes have been on the wrong end of a lot of close games which is giving us the value here.  They have now won 2 in a row and have a lot of momentum here going forward.  They have been very impressive @ home going 10-2 on the season.  

This IMO is a very hard spot for the Rockets.  I backed them last night in a losing effort to the Warriors.  Every team wants to beat the Warriors so you know they used a ton of energy.  Now they are playing a very good Memphis team and one I believe is a sleeper in the West.  Ryan Anderson will be out for the Rockets he is crucial in their style of play as well

The Wizards are simply being over valued here as they have won 6 of 7, but 5 of those wins were at home.  This Wizards team just lost @ Dallas.  They aren't a team you can trust on the road.
