Auburn is just one of those teams it's hard to put a finger on this season.  They have a great record because of their non conference schedule racking up wins against a bunch of nobodies.  They just lost by 1 to Texas AM and now have Kentucky on deck.  This isn't the ideal spot for them.  I also think we will get a max effort from Georgia here who has been struggling

I think this jump here is way too big on Oklahoma.  Has anyone seen them play on the road?  They have lost their last 5 SU.  Iowa St is having a down year, but they still pack Hilton and it's a tough place to play.  I also think Iowa St will bounce back after two straight ugly losses 

Taking the Sun Devils here at a fairly short price on their home court.  I know they have struggled in conference play, but I do think we get a huge effort considering they are playing one of the better teams in USC.  I also think the Trojans are looking ahead to their showdown with PAC 12 Zona this weekend 

No one wants to back this Pitt team who has yet to win a game in the conference.  This is just way too many though for a Clemson team to be laying without their best player.  There is no motivation here at all for Clemson and I think Pitt can keep it closer than people think.  Pitt has covered 5 of their last 6

I think Auburn is now getting a little too much love from the odds makers here because of their ranking.  I think people are forgetting that this Aggies team was ranked in the top 5 earlier this season.  Sure they haven't played up to potential but they have a ton of talent on that team and will give Auburn all they want

This Georgia team is throwing the towel in for the season now.  They are just 2-6 SU their last 8 games.  Vandy despite having a bad record still plays hard as they have covered 4 of their last 5 games.  I also give Vandy a pass because 4 of their last 6 have been on the road and they had won their 2 home games 

I got a good number here on Iowa as this line is dropping.  This just has the feeling as one of those weird National televised game against a superior opponent but it comes down to the wire.  I dont Michigan St cares about this game at all especially given the fact they have Purdue on deck

Ole Miss is a solid 10-4 at home this season.  They are catching Missouri at the right time here with them coming off a huge win over Kentucky on the weekend.  Missouri has had a ton of injuries this season and are just an average road team at best

I really think this is a cheap price here on Providence.  To me G Town is the worst team in the conference.  Providence should be excited here returning home after 3 road games while G Town is on their 3rd straight road game.  The reason for the low line is because G Town did cover @ Creighton and Xavier.  They run out of gas tonight 

These two teams already have met and Tennessee came out on top.  I like Kentucky this time around to get the revenge.  They have had this game circled no doubt and that is why I am giving them a pass for their last game at Mizzou.  Kentucky wins a hard fought game 

This a huge game for Northwestern if they have any hopes of making the tournament next month.  Collins has this team playing up to par now after they have struggled a large part of the season.  He knows the importance of this game and they will get the job done 

Louisville has lost 3 of their last 4 games, but now they are playing a terrible Syracuse team in which they shouldn't have a problem with.  Cuse really struggles big time on offense as they barely score over 60 a game in conference.  Louisville plays solid defense and won't have a problem shutting them down 

You have two of the worst teams in the Big 12 and Baylor here is laying a massive number.  The thing is though Iowa St is coming off a huge victory against West Virginia.  Iowa St on the road in conference play has lost all of them by double digits except for 1 game.  Baylor is simply due for a big game and it happens here tonight 

I would grab this one as soon as possible.  I think Texas clicking right now and they will be up for this game here today.  They are one of those teams that need more quality wins and this would be a huge one for them.  There is just way too much love for Oklahoma and Trae Young, not that they are a bad team but Vegas does inflate lines who the betting public loves

You just cant ignore the fact how good Stanford has been against the number in conference play.  They are 8-2 ATS in conference and only laying 1 here I think they get it done.  Oregon is coming in winning 3 straight but I think they are a little over valued this season .

I think we get a pretty pissed off West Virginia team here coming off 3 straight losses and just a horrible loss @ Iowa St losing by 16 as nearly double digit favorites.  The talent gap between these two teams is just to big.  West Virginia didn't even play well in the first meeting and still won by 8 on the road

Gut check time here for Marquette.  They have now lost 3 straight games and a realyl bad one last game at home against Butler where they lost by 20.  I think Wojo will have them ready here today for a huge bounce back game.  

This is the time where Clemson comes down to reality missing arguably their best player.  Wake Forest is a team that doesn't give up and I actually think they will pull the upset here today  

Texas Tech may be ranked in the top 10, but is everyone really buying it?  I'm sure not.  I missed the -3 but the fact that this is climbing says a lot about who is actualyl the better team.  TCU has had so many close losses or else they could easily be in first place 

It has been a rough go in conference for the Aggies.  A large part here recently is simply due to the fact that they have played 4 of their last 6 on the road and have lost all 4.  This team was a legit top 10 team and has a ton of talent.  

Oklahoma is getting much love now since they have lost 3 of their last 4 games.  However, all 3 of them came on the road against quality teams.  Baylor just struggles big time and Drew is about as overrated coach as they come.  Baylor has lost 3 straight and coming off a blowout loss by Florida.  

It has been a really rough year for Iowa sitting at 2-8 on the season in conference play.  I do think they are a play on team here at home down the stretch.  The fact Minnesota couldn't get up for their last game vs Northwestern in a perfect spot says it all to me about where this Gopher team is headed 

I have no clue why this line is so low.  St Johns has yet to win a conference game and things dont look much better going forward.  Xavier has been taking care of business winning 4 straight and have have had 5 days off so are fresh.  

UNC shouldn't have a problem here after dropping 2 straight.  I think Roy will have them ready here to knock of Clemson who is short handed.  UNC should have more focus than ever coming into this game . 

Kansas St is getting absolutely zero credit here from the odds makers.  They should be favored here in this game on their home court considering they lost by one 1 @ Kansas earlier in the season.  

I dont think most will be on Temple here, but UConn has been a very poor road team and are coming off a huge win as an underdog over SMU.  Temple should be hungry here for a bounce back after they were just destroyed @ Cincy last game.  

The Yellow Jackets on their home court here tonight against Clemson who comes in ranked.  Well that ranking won't last after Tech beats them SU here tonight.  Clemson has suffered a major loss due to injury in Grantham.  Don't sleep on this Tech team especially on their home court

I'm gonna take Miss St here at this short price.  I will forgive their last two games which were both on the road.  Missouri have no excuse as they laid in egg last gmae at home vs Auburn.  

Cant say I have been very impressed with Miami here recently.  They have only twice in their last 6 games one of those was a close 6 point win over this Florida St team.  Florida St is the better team here and are 9-1 at home this season.  The revenge angle is this rivalry is huge.  

Oklahoma is easily one of the most public teams on the season right now because of their freshman PG Trae Young.  I just think the love crush is really inflating their lines.  He has to do everything for them and I think he get worse down on the road as they have lost their last 3 road games.  Bama wants a huge win at home and believe they get one today 

I like Evansville here today against Drake.  The Bulldogs have really fallen off after a hot start in the MVC.  I guess you could say they were lucky considering they won some close games.  I just think Evansville here shows up as they are 10-2 at home and will want revenge from an ugly loss earlier to Drake 

It's crazy to think that Arizona St hasn't covered a closing line yet in conference play, but that is exactly true after 7 games.  They return home here and get Utah and while most will say this is the revenge spot for Utah.  I think they played one of their best games vs ASU the first time and still couldn't beat them.  The last two road games for Utah weren't pretty getting blown @ USC and UCLA

This is too many points for Purdue to lay here.  Yes, they are playing great and do have a huge home court advantage, but double digits against another top team in the Big Ten is tough to swallow.  Remember this Michigan team walked into their rival Michigan St and beat them down.  I'm not saying that will happen but I will gladly take double digit points

This isn't your typical VCU team here.  They have really fallen off this season and especially on the road.  They are just 2-5 SU on the road.  Saint Louis has had their struggles no doubt about it but they have won 2 straight games will want to beat VCU who still has the household name 

The Gophers here cant afford another loss and given that it's on their home court they really need this one.  They are 10-3 on their home court while NW has struggled going 2-6 away from home.  Minnesota needs this if they want any part of the NCAA tournament.  It's getting crunch time now in the season

I missed a better number here but St Johns is still worth a look.  I know Lovett is out for the season, but he was earlier when they took Creighton down to the wire @ Creighton.  Creighton is thin now losing their center.  They are strictly a guard team now that relies way to heavy on the outside shot and when on the road you normally dig yourself into a hole you cant get out of

Bradley here is a perfect 10-0 on the year at home.  They are playing one of the better teams in the MVC in Missouri St.  Missouri St has lost their last 4 conference road SU and they were favored in all of those.  You also cant ignore the fact that Missouri St is 0-5 ATS L5 games 

I like Western Michigan here tonight to get some revenge on Toledo a few games back where Toledo just destroyed them.  Western arguably has the best player in the Conference in Wilder.  Toledo shot lights out making over 50% of their shots and Western couldn't hit anything  

It's surprising to everyone who follows Big Ten basketball to see these two teams at the bottom of the league.  Wisconsin did lose a lot from last season, but Iowa as projected a border line NCAA tournament team.  When you get embarrassed like Iowa did against Purdue you have no choice but to bounce back with a big effort.  

Really love Baylor here returning home after a hard fought loss vs Kansas.  They should be eager to get back out there tonight.  They are catching Kansas St at the right time as well coming off 2 big wins but both were at home.  Baylor has length here and K St isn't a great jump shooting team.  

The Buckeyes may just be the most surprising team right now in the country.  No one had this team pegged as a top 25 team now they sit in first place undefeated in the Big 10.  Well, now they are being extremely over valued favored by double digits.  To show how much they are being over valued they were favored by 9.5 over UTSA.  This Nebraska won't fold down here and they are playing well covering 4 of their last 5 games 

Valpo is a sneaky good team here especially on their home court where they are 7-1.  Dont let their overall record fool ya here which I feel is playing a ton into this line.  Loyola is coming off 4 straight wins and 2 home wins where they blew the teams out.  I also think they will be looking ahead as they have MVC leader Drake next 

This is one of those classic revenge games here where the home court means absolutely nothing.  Ever since Quinnipiac won by 1 @ Siena they have lost every game since then.  I think we get a motivated Siena team wanting pay back here.  

Early Sunday tip for Louisville laying double digits?   I will gladly go the opposite way here as this seems like a huge flat spot for them.  Boston College has been a fun team to watch this season. They beat Duke SU only lost @ Virginia by 1, lost to Clemson by 4, and are coming off a nice win over Florida St.  They aren't getting the respect since Louisville has covered here 5 straight.  

This is a huge game here for Western Michigan.  A lot of people pegged them at the beginning of the year to be one of the two best teams in the MAC.  There is no doubt they have one of if not the best player in the conference in Wilder.  Buffalo has a huge target on their back right now since they are 5-0 in conference play.  This will be be Buffalo's toughest test so far in conference play.  

Missouri is a very underrated team here tonight against Tennessee.  Missouri could easily be in frist place in the SEC as they are 2-2 in conference, but both losses came in the final seconds by each 2 points.  Tennessee has played 3 of their last 4 at home with their only road game being the worst team in the SEC in Vandy.  I think Missouri rolls them 

Evansville seems to play well at home as both of their conference wins have been at home.  They are 10-1 SU at home as well.  They have had a couple close losses so this team could lurking around 2nd or 3rd place if they had some luck.  Indiana St coming off a huge effort @ Missorui St sets up for a let down spot here

I will take Iowa here as they finally got their fist Big Ten win.  Now they have had nearly a week off since then which I really like so the focus should be there.  Rutgers is a terrible 3 point shooting team only making 29% and 5 a game 

Sign me up for one of those that doesn't believe in this Auburn team.  Also throw in that this is a huge rivalry game.  Alabama will have the best player on the court here tonight in Sexton their true freshman.  If Auburn can prove me wrong tonight then I might start thinking they are a legit team 

I'm not buying into this Dayton team here coming off two great performances.  In no way would I back them to have a third great game shooting especially not on their home court.  St Joe's is a sneaky team even though their record doesn't show because of their close losses 

I dont trust UConn here at all as they just picked up their 2nd road win to move their road record to 2-6 SU.  Memphis has won and covered 3 straight and will be eager to knock off UConn.  Even though the Huskies aren't a great team anymore they are still a household name for teams to get up for and knock them off. 

I think the Wildcats win this game here tonight after suffering a tough beat to Kansas over the weekend.  Yes, Oklahoma is a fun team to watch there is no doubt about it, but with their style and now all the hype surrounding Young odds makers adjust big time because they know the betting public will come all in on the Sooners

North Carolina is worth laying the points here at a short price.  This UNC team isn't like teams we have seen in the past, but this is a short enough price.  I just think Clemson has over achieved so much that I'm not buying into them and they will come back down here as conference play goes on. 

I will lay the points here with West Virginia.  If you watched this Kansas team so far I'm not sure they are even a top 20 team in the country.  They barely survied their last two home games against Iowa ST and Kansas ST, neither one of those teams are great by any means.  West Virginia will cause havoc tonight as Kansas isn't deep and that pressure will really bother them 

The fact that Baylor is 1-4 in conference and still favored by this many says a lot about what odds makers think about Oklahoma St.  They were very lucky last game to beat Texas by 1.  That was a great spot for them and I wasn't very impressed.  I was against Baylor last game and won, but I think they respond here and their length creates problems for the Cowboys 

Miami has really had Duke's number here in the last years when playing in Miami.  I think Duke is getting some credit coming off back to back blowout wins over Pitt and Wake, but they are bottom feeders in the ACC.  Duke still hasn't shown the ability to play a lick of defense and that will be a problem here tonight 

It's do or die time right now for UNI.  I think this veteran UNI responds here in a big way.  Valpo is coming off a big win beating Drake who is in first in the Missouri Valley and are facing a hungry Panther team looking for their first win in conference 

I like Washington here tonight as I think Stanford is in a tough spot.  They beat USC and UCLA both at home and followed that up with a win @ Wazzu for their first road win.  Washington is 10-1 @ home here and Stanford also has both Arizona schools for major look aheads

Arkansas just played by far their worst game of the season getting blown out on their home court by LSU and double digit favorites.  If that alone doesn't scream due for a huge bounce back I'm not sure what does.  Missouri coming off a big home win over Georgia and have a big look ahead with Tennessee coming to town.  Arkansas gives huge effort

Texas is coming off a very emotional win beating TCU in OT.  Their best shooter Jones has cancer and that win was huge for them and about as emotional as it gets as I hope he can recover quickly.  Oklahoma St needs a big home win and they get one here tonight

Probably a sucker for this one but I believe this Central Mich team is one of the best in the MAC.  Well they aren't getting much credit here because they have lost back to back road games.  However, they are 8-0 at home and last game at home they won by 25 and were only favored by 2.5

Iowa St doesn't deserve to be an underdog here today on their home court.  Yes, they have had their struggles, but the fact they don't have a conference win yet still leaves them hungry for one.  The Big 12 is such a deep conference that even after a poor start they have a chance to still make the tourney need quality wins and that starts today

Love Xavier here returning home after 2 hard fought losses on the road.  I still have a lot of questions about this Creighton team has they haven't been on the road to face the best competition in the Big East.  Xavier is a legit top 10 team and believe they make a statement here

Missouri should have a sour taste in their mouths after last time out losing to Florida by a turnover which lead to a break away lay up as time expired.  Georgia has been playing well themselves but they get tested in a big way here on the road.  

First time in a while we are getting a healthy Northwestern team and I like their chances here as they have been blown out in back to back games.  That should leave them hungry here for a huge effort against Minnesota and give them a quality win which they need at this point 

I missed a better line on Valpo here, but still believe they get the job done tonight against a Drake team that is now surprisingly in first place in the Missouri Valley.  Valpo defends their home court well and Drake is due for a let down 

Well chalk this game up as one of those that doesn't make any sense right?  Xavier a quality team catching nearly double digits against Nova? This will be a classic sharp vs square game here with the betting public taking the underdog here.  Nova flexes their muscle here and makes big statement 

GOLD'S ACC NO BRAINER!

Like Wake Forest here at home as I think they are a lot better team than their record indicates.  They are coming off a tough loss @ Boston College.  This team mind you was favored by 1.5 over Tennessee and they are a legit top 20 team.  This is a discount

Tech isn't getting enough credit given the fact that Notre Dame is without their two best players.  Notre Dame has a huge game on deck with North Carolina coming to town.  Tech will be more than motivated here to rack up a big one 

I dont like this spot at all for Tennessee after they are coming from a thrilling behind victory over Kentucky.  Every team in the SEC has Kentucky circled on their schedule for obvious reasons.  Vandy is 1-0 on their home court in conference play beating Bama who is a similar team to the Vols.  

I'm not putting much stock into this South Carolina as they are one of the worst teams in the SEC.  They have played a very weak schedule so that has inflated their record.  Bama is coming off back to back losses, but both of those were on the road.  I think we see them take care business on their home court

I backed Stanford last time out vs UCLA as they won out right.  I will back them again here in another underdog role.  We saw what Colorado did playing the home underdog role vs ASU an Arizona with outright both games.  I think last game provides a lot of motivation here for Stanford and they get another upset win

I will take my chances with Cincinnati here as I think they are just heads and shoulder above SMU who lost a ton from last years team.  Cincy had an ugly ugly game last time out @ Temple but the managed to get a win and that is what good teams do.  I think Mick has his guys ready here and we see Cincy really put the hammer down

UNI has had a rough go as of late losing all 3 conference games.  I think today is the day they get back on the board.  This just feels like one of those desperation type of games.  They are back to healthy and I think we get a huge effort here

It's worth taking a shot here with TCU on their home court against Kansas.  Most people will think that Kansas will bounce back after losing at home, but this isn't your world beater Jayhawk team at all this season.  TCU only has one loss and they blew that game against Oklahoma and it was by just 1 point.  TCU wins this one outright

Let's take Tennessee here with a rival battle against Kentucky.  Kentucky could easily be 0-2 in conference play barely beating Georgia and LSU who aren't the top teams in this league.  Tennessee is actually one of the top teams and I expect them to show up with a big effort here

GOLD'S 5 STAR NCAAB LOCK

Love West Virginia here as they always go under the radar because they really never have one stand out player,but just do everything together and do it right.  Their home crowd alone is worth a few more points as it's a top 15 place to play in.  Oklahoma has been a nice story and still are a good team, but they run into a buzz saw here

Texas Tech is probably in the heardest spot they will be in all season.  They are coming off a huge upset over Kansas @ Kansas as 7.5 point dogs.  Now they are favored by 10?  Seems like a huge over reaction here.  Kansas St isn't a top team in the Big 12, but before that Texas Tech win over K St most people would have said they these teams are similar 

Butler is a perfect 9-0 this season at home which included an impressive win over #1 ranked Nova.  Not surprising they followed that up with a loss on the road, but return home here.  Seton Hall is a team I dont trust on the road as they lost to Rutgers

Let's take the Aggies here as they have dropped their first couple games in SEC play in ugly fashion.  That was because they had some injuries and suspensions.  Hogg the guy who makes the team run is back from suspension.  I also think LSU is in a major let down spot coming off a hard fought game vs Kentucky 

Georgia is worth a look here as this team has been very solid at home with a 7-0 record.  They have covered 4 straight games and 6 of their last 8.  I need to see more from Bama on the road the one point loss to Vandy was a little misleading as they were down 9 with a minute to go

No choice but to take Penn St here.  Northwestern had a lot of high hopes to begin this season and quite frankly they haven't lived up to it.  Now their PG Mcintosh is questionable and he didn't play last game and they were routed at home vs Nebraska.  Penn St is a young and athletic team that can play with anyone in the conference on their home court.  I think we see another blowout given to Northwestern 

Utah is getting a lot of respect here because they are coming off back to back road wins vs Oregon and Oregon St.  They were lucky to survive against Oregon St last game.  Both Oregon schools are down this year.  Arizona people are giving enough respect to as this team is a legit top 10 team and top 5 talent.  They are coming off a nice win over their rival ASU and people maybe thinking let down, but that was nearly a week ago

I like Stanford here tonight against UCLA.  UCLA is coming off two nice home wins covering in both against the Washington schools.  Those two teams are down this year and I think Stanford responds here after a close loss to Cal.
