Wrong team favored in this one.  We have the classic home team who is favored and undefeated but literally haven't played anyone.  Illinois is more a veteran squad and deeper team.  Illinois gets the job done.

I like the Sixers here tonight.  Harden is probable and they are playing the Grizzlies at the right time. Memphis had a vey hot start but since have cooled off a ton and large part of that is because of injuries including Bane who I think they are missing big time.  Sixers are quietly 8-2 ATS L10.  

Love Baylor here tonight.  Look, Gonzaga is the name but if you have watched them you can tell they are no where near last year or the last few years for that matter.  Baylor is super talented and yes they are coming off a brutal loss to Marquette but I think it was a look ahead spot there.  Wrong team favored.

The Nuggets just struggle on the road with a 6-7 record and I dont think they should be laying this many here.  They have won 4 straight but 2 of those included the Rockets the pervious two games inflating this number a bit here.  

I like UNC here.  I think they should be short favorites here and they would have been had they not lost 2 in a row.  The fact they did gives them some value here.  Indiana is a solid team but Davis down low won't have his way with the UNC bigs.  

Wrong team favored here in this game.  The better overall team top to bottom here is Rutgers and they have the better athletes.  

Wrong team is favored here in this game.  I am very high on this Aztec team that returns a ton of key pieces from last year meanwhile Arizona lost a couple big parts.  Arizona is a house hold name and are very good but this is a tough test here and I think SDSU wins this pretty easily.

St Johns is relying on some big transfers here this season and this is a cheap price vs a Cuse team that won't make the NCAA Tournament.  Cuse is young and quite frankly not very talented.  St John's  beat a much better team yesterday in Temple also

I just love this Arkansas team.  I know how young they are but man they are very talented.  I take nothing away from Creighton as they are very good also.  This type of team with the athletes that Arkansa has will be the main difference here.  Wrong team is favored 

Crazy reaction in the line here.  Yes, FSU is off to a horrible start 0-3 but Florida just dropped a game to FAU last time.  It's not like they are anything special here.  IN this type of rivalry game with both teams being bad give me the home dog at a big number.

The Michigan St love is outta control here now.  They almost beat Gonzaga and did just. pull the upset on Kentucky.  I think that has them extremely over valued here and in a tough spot with these 3 games being in a row.  Nova is just a team that makes you earn it on both ends.  I want no parts of Sparty in this spot all the sudden laying a big number

The Shockers just aren't the house hold name they once were and I think the coach is on the hot seat this season.  It will be a long year as they lost 4 starters.  This is a Richmond team that if you recall beat Iowa in a 12 5 matchup in the NCAA Tournament last season.  Cheap price for a much better overall team

Warriors haven't won on the road yet.  Well, I think that streak ends tonight here.  Suns first game back off a tough East coast road trip which is always hard first game back.  Warriros will be more motivated here to get one and to get back on track. 

Longhorns here at home tonight is the play.  Zags always load up their schedule early and are off the close win over Michigan St which now does look really well beings hot the Spartans just beat Kentucky.  The talent that Texas has here is just above and beyond here.  I will lay the short numbers in a tough place to play.

These teams haven't met since the playoffs last season.  I think the Hawks want some big time revenge here and I believe they will get it.  Celtics are hot I get it and the betting public won't have any problem laying it here.  Hawks win this game outright.

I like the Thunder here tonight and a great buy low sell high situation.  The Wizards are hot right now but the Thunder are playing great themselves.  They are 2-2 SU their last 4 game but the two losses are to the Bucks in OT and to the Celtics which they covered.  I think they catch the Wiz in a let down spot here tonight and win outright 

Love Duke here tonight.  Both teams lose a lot but I definitely believe it's hard for the Jatyahwks to replace the experience they lost.  Duke always reloads so this is something different for Kansas this season.  I do love that Scheyer is running the show now and also Bill Self is out this game which I do believe matters.  Duke rolls easily

Just a massive talent gap here with these two team meeting tonight.  I really leek Kentucky here and books are titling their hand in large part because of what the Spartans just did covering in a close loss to Gonzaga.  Look, the Zags are good but they aren't like previous years teams.  I also think the travel situation plays a factor here.  Kentucky will man handle the glass and that will be enough to win by double digits. 

Odds makers are clearly tilting their hand here in who they believe will win this game tonight.  Bucks are obviously missing key players here and most importantly being Giannis.  Bucks off a hard fought win in OT last game.  Spurs have lost their last two home games but did cover both of them. 

7.5 here is just too many for the Suns to be laying.  First, I dont like the travel spot here with their first road game @ Philly, then Minnesota and now down to Orlando.  Suns are also coming off a pretty big win over the T Wolves.  I think Magic here are perfect to cover as they are 5-1 ATS at home this season. They have covered 3 of their last 4 and are just 2-3 SU their last 5 but none of the 3 losses were by double digits.

Boston is a very good team take nothing away form them.  I just believe this is too many here with a more than respectable Western Conference squad.  Nuggets are hot winning 4 straight and 6 of their last 7.  

I will take the Wolves here as they feel undervalued due to a slow start.  This will be the first time the Wolves have been dogs all season and I think they will be motivated vs one the better teams in their conference.  

Great buy low spot here on the Warriors.  This team in the past just 5 season rarely losses back to back games and they in fact take pride in that.  Well, I think we get big effort here because they have just lost back to back to the Hornets and Pistons.  Warriors get back tonight in a motivated effort.

I like the Lakers here tonight.  The Nuggets are a good team but the big key here tonight is that Westbrook is out tonight and I believe the Lakers will have the motivation here to prove the point without him.  

I know this is a home and home situation.  I backed the Rockets the other night and they beat the Jazz.  I see no reason why they honestly can't beat them again here tonight.  Getting 8 with this team is too many points.

The Hawks have played three home games all against bad teams.  First true road game and I dont believe this is a team you can trust totally to get big margin.  Pistons off an ugly loss last night and that will happen with young players.  I think tonight is just too many points though

I like the Suns here tonight from a pure motivation standpoint.  The Mavs knocked out this Suns team to adavance to the Western Conference Finals and mind you during this stretch that the Suns were always bigger home favorites than they are here tonight.  Paul had a leg injury last season and the Mavs will miss Brunson from the get go.  Suns laying a short number with motivation I love them in the home opener tonight. 

I like the young squad here with the Rockets.  Green and Smith along with Porter Jr will be must watch.  Granted, that won't equal many wins but they will be competitive this season especially at big numbers.  The Hawks made headway for their off season move in getting Murrary from the Spurs. It takes a while for this situations to gel and I think 10.5 is too many.

The Warriors are great in every aspect.  I just think they are priced like a midseason form team.  Let's face it having the ring cereromy tonight and everything is a lot for them to take in.  I also wanna see how this Poole and Green situation develops.  Lakers were. bad last season, but they still have LeBron and AD together and when those guys are together and catching this many points it's almost an auto play.

I will take the Sixers here tonight.  The Celtics will be a team I look to play against this season especially early.  It's not because of what has gone on with the coaching either.  They were slow starters last year but I think the target is a lot different this season.  Sixers at full strength and a little more time to gel with Harden I believe are the better team.

The Celtics had a wild 4th quarter in which they pretty much didn't miss.  Yes,  they won the game but the Warriors were in control of that for 80% of it.  Warriors I think continue where they left off last game.  They have handled Tatum really well and I don't think the Celtics can keep relying on the 3 ball to get them through

Rolling with the Warriors here for game with the extra rest.  Everyone saying Boston matches up well and that might be true but I think the Warriors set the tone here in game 1 with a double digit victory.

Really surprised here by this line.  People keep under estimating the Heat.  So they played horrible last game and missed everything. I think they rise here and get the Jobe done tonight. 

I think the Warriors sweep the Mavs here.  You could just tell after Game 3 the Mavs don't have anything left in the tank.  The Warriors honestly haven't played great by an means but they just out class the Mavs here.  They want this game as well and will get plenty of rest before the finals 

Im taking the Heat here.  I think people will fall in love with the fact that Boston returned their players and then blew out Miami and now they are home.  I just like Miami a lot in the underdog role and 6.5 is too many here.

I love the Hear here tonight.  I just think the emotional game plus the travel for the Celtics is going to be hard to overcome.  The Heat are by far the most underrated team I have seen and they are a 1 seed.  I think they take full advantage of the situation and win easily tonight. 

Let's take the Warriors here tonight.  They played a horrible game last time out and I think most people will grab the points.  Warriors put their foot down here and win going away 

This series just has game 7 written all over it.   I think the Celtics bounce back here after letting game 6 slip away.  They know thy can win on the road as they proved it in game 5.

Being inflated line here.  I know Morant won't be 100% but I think that will slow down enough of the pace and have them hang around which is what they need honestly.  They came out on fire last game but the style they play with only helps the Warriors.  Slow it down tonight and they get Brooks back for defensive purposes.

Celtics here tonight.  They let it get away last game and I think they come out very focused and motivated here knowing you can go down 3-1 at all here or the series is over.  

Luka goes off for 45 and the Mavs still didn't cover.  This was another closer game and the they just didn't get there in the end.  I really think the Mavs have a great shot to win outright here tonight but will gladly take the points.

I will take the Sixers here in game 2.  It was a pretty close game until the 4th hit and the Heat went on a run that the Sixers couldn't answer.  I think Philly responds here tonight and may not win the game but definitely a better effort 

I know that Embiid is out but this is a crazy overreaction here.  Sixers still matchup well with Harden and Maxey.  It's game 1 and I think they hang close here.

I dont get all the love here for the Mavs but Im guessing it's because Luka is back in the lineup.  The Mavs have covered 4 straight games here and this is a clout out, but the Jazz at home are tough and this atmosphere will be wild tonight.  I think we are getting game 7 here folks
