02-27-18 | Nets v. Cavs -10.5 | 123-129 | Loss | -106 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Cleveland Cavaliers -10.5 The Key: The Cavaliers have lost two of three games since the All-Star Break and will be hungry for a victory tonight because of it. They should be able to win in blowout fashion against the Brooklyn Nets, who will be playing the second of a back-to-back after beating the Bulls at home last night. It was a rare win for the Nets, who are 2-12 SU & 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Take Cleveland. |

02-26-18 | Texas Tech v. West Virginia -6.5 | Top | 74-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
7* Texas Tech/West Virginia Big 12 *HEAVY HITTER* on West Virginia -6.5 The Key: I expect West Virginia to get a big win and cover here on Senior Night against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Mountaineers will be hungry to avenge a 71-72 loss at Texas Tech in their first meeting this season. I think this is a flat spot for the Red Raiders, who had their Big 12 title hopes crushed with a 72-74 home loss to Kansas over the weekend. Now they have to try and get back up off the mat two days later, and I don’t see it happening for them. The Mountaineers are 5-0 in their last 5 home meetings with Texas Tech with each of the last four wins coming by 6 points or more. The Red Raiders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU loss. The Mountaineers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss. Take West Virginia. |

02-26-18 | Suns +7.5 v. Pelicans | 116-125 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Phoenix Suns +7.5 The Key: This is a very difficult situation for the New Orleans Pelicans. They’ll be playing the second of a back-to-back and their 3rd game in 4 days. Not only that, but they needed overtime to win 123-121 in Milwaukee yesterday. That will have them extra fatigued for this one. The Suns have gotten a lot healthier since the break and will be a tough opponent for them tonight, just as they have been over the past few seasons. In their last 9 meetings, the Suns have only lost to the Pelicans by more than 6 points once. The Pelicans are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The road team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings. New Orleans is 0-8 ATS in home games vs. teams who are outscored by their opponents by 6+ points/game over the last 2 seasons. Take Phoenix. |
|||||||
02-25-18 | Rockets v. Nuggets +4.5 | 119-114 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
6* Rockets/Nuggets Western Conference *CA$H COW* on Denver +4.5 The Key: The Denver Nuggets are playing too well right now to be home underdogs to the Houston Rockets. They are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. They have beaten OKC, Golden State and San Antonio twice during this run. Their only loss came at Houston on February 9th, and now they’ll be looking to avenge that defeat at home tonight. The Nuggets are 24-7 at home this season with a huge advantage on their home floor obviously. The Rockets will be without the services of sharpshooter Eric Gordon for this one. Denver is 13-4 ATS revenging a same season loss this season. The Rockets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games off a win by more than 10 points. Take Denver. |
|||||||
02-25-18 | Northwestern v. Iowa -3 | Top | 70-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
7* Northwestern/Iowa Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Iowa -3 The Key: Northwestern and Iowa have been two of the most disappointing teams not only in the Big Ten, but also in the country. But I look at Iowa and they keep fighting with a 2-point loss to Indiana and a 4-point loss to Minnesota. And there’s no doubt the Hawkeyes will be hungry for a win on Senior Day tonight to end their season on a winning note. I do question Northwestern’s motivation as they are just 15-15 this year despite returning almost everyone from their NCAA Tournament team last year. They are clearly just looking ahead to the Big Ten Tournament. The Wildcats are 0-5 SU & 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. They have lost three straight at home coming in, and their lost by 9 at Rutgers and by 16 at Maryland in their last two road games. They are now just 3-8 SU & 3-8 ATS in true road games this year. The Hawkeyes are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The Wildcats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 visits to Iowa City. Take Iowa. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Lakers v. Kings +1 | 113-108 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
6* Lakers/Kings Western Conference *BAILOUT* on Sacramento +1 The Key: This is a tough situation for the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. They will be playing the second of a back-to-back off a home win over the Mavericks last night. The Kings had yesterday off and will be the fresher team. The Kings are playing very well right now as they’ve gone 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall. This young team is only getting better as the season progresses. The Lakers are 15-30 ATS in road games after playing a home game over the last 3 seasons. Los Angeles is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games playing on zero days rest. Sacramento is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games when working on one days rest. The Kings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss. Take Sacramento. |

02-24-18 | George Washington v. St. Louis -5.5 | 53-62 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
6* George Washington/Saint Louis Atlantic 10 *CA$H COW* on Saint Louis -5.5 The Key: The Saint Louis Billikens are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games overall. They have been very underrated when playing at home. They are 8-1 ATS in their last nine home games. They should be able to handle George Washington with ease at home Saturday. The Colonials are just 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. The Billikens are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a losing record. Saint Louis is 6-0 SU & 4-2 ATS in its last 6 home meetings with GW. The Billikens are 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings with the Colonials. Take Saint Louis. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Washington State v. Stanford -12.5 | 84-86 | Loss | -101 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
6* Washington State/Stanford Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Stanford -12.5 The Key: The Stanford Cardinal are 6-1 SU and a perfect 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games. Their only home loss was a 71-73 setback to Arizona as 6-point underdogs. Their last two home games have resulted in blowout wins over Washington by 16 and Oregon by 35. Now they should be able to handle Washington State, which is the second-worst team in the Pac-12 at 3-12 SU & 4-11 ATS in conference play this season. The Cardinal are 8-1 SU & 6-1-2 ATS in their last nine meetings with the Cougars with all eight wins coming by 9 points or more. Washington State is 1-9 in true road games this year and losing by 16.3 PPG. Take Stanford. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Washington -4 v. California | 68-51 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
6* Washington/Cal Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Washington -4 The Key: The Washington Huskies cannot afford to lose to Cal if they want to make the NCAA Tournament. They are currently on Joe Lunardi’s ‘first four out’ line and a loss to Cal would crush their chances. Look for them to played inspired basketball tonight. Cal is the worst team in the Pac-12 at 8-20 overall and 2-13 in conference play. The Huskies are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. The Golden Bears are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning percentage of better than 60%. Take Washington. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Valparaiso v. Drake -5 | Top | 69-64 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
7* Missouri Valley Game of the Month on Drake -5 The Key: The Drake Bulldogs have 4 of 5 senior starters. That makes today even more special for them than most teams on Senior Day. Expect them to lay it all on the line to get a win against Valparaiso this afternoon. The Bulldogs are 10-2 SU & 7-2 ATS at home this year. The Crusaders are 2-12 in true road games. The Crusaders are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Bulldogs are 15-5-1 ATS in they last 21 home games. Drake is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 Saturday games. The Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Take Drake. |
|||||||
02-23-18 | Heat v. Pelicans UNDER 216 | Top | 123-124 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
7* NBA Total of the Month on Heat/Pelicans UNDER 216 The Key: The Miami Heat are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. They should be able to contain the New Orleans Pelicans, who won’t be nearly as efficient the rest of the way offensively without DeMarcus Cousins. The Pelicans and Heat have combined for 212 or fewer points in 65 of their last 66 meetings dating back to 1998. That’s a 65-1 angle backing the under when factoring in this 216-point total. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
02-22-18 | Gonzaga v. San Diego +12 | 77-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
6* WCC *CA$H COW* on San Diego +12 The Key: The San Diego Toreros have been one of the most improved teams in the nation this season. They are 17-11 and have clinched a winning record for only the 2nd time in the past 10 years. They have have some big performances against top teams, too. They only lost 62-65 as 8.5-point home underdogs to St. Mary’s. They beat BYU 75-62 as 3-point home underdogs last time out. They also only lost 59-69 as 19.5-point road underdogs at Gonzaga. Now they get to host the Zags this time and are catching 12 points in the rematch. I think this game will be closer than the books expect. The Bulldogs are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Toreros are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning percentage of better than 60%. Take San Diego. |
|||||||
02-22-18 | Washington v. Stanford -5 | Top | 78-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
7* Pac-12 *HEAVY HITTER* on Stanford -5 The Key: Stanford already won 73-64 at Washington back on January 13th. With the way they are playing at home of late, they should have no problem beating the Huskies by 5-plus points at home in the rematch. The Cardinal are 5-1 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games with their only loss coming to Arizona by a final of 71-73 as 6-point underdogs. They beat Oregon by 35, Oregon State by 9, Arizona State by 9, USC by 1 and UCLA by 8. Stanford is 6-0 ATS in home games when playing just its 2nd game in a week this season. The Cardinal are 9-1 ATS in home games when playing against a team with a winning record after 15-plus games over the last 2 seasons. Take Stanford. |
|||||||
02-22-18 | Knicks v. Magic -3.5 | 120-113 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Orlando Magic -3.5 The Key: The Orlando Magic come out of the All-Star Break as healthy as they have been all season. After missing a ton of games previously, both Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic are both expected to play tonight. Now the Magic are only without Terrence Ross, who has been out for basically the entire season. The Knicks struggled mightily heading into the break when they lost Kristaps Porzingis to a season-ending injury. Michael Beasley is questionable to play tonight as well. The Knicks are 0-8 SU & 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall. New York is 7-24 SU & 12-19 ATS on the road this season. The Magic are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss. Orlando is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 games overall. Take Orlando. |
|||||||
02-21-18 | Iowa v. Minnesota -1.5 | 82-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
6* Iowa/Minnesota Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Minnesota -1.5 The Key: The Minnesota Golden Gophers have lost 9 straight coming in. But they showed some fight in their overtime loss at Wisconsin last time out. And I think they’ll put up a big effort at home on Senior Night to try and end this skid. That is what is perplexing about the skid is that the Gophers are loaded with seniors. They will be laying it all on the line to go out a winning in their final home game. And it should come pretty easy for them against an Iowa team that is 1-9 in true road games this season and losing by 14.1 PPG on average. The Hawkeyes are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 road games. The home team is 8-2 SU in the last 10 meetings. Take Minnesota. |
|||||||
02-21-18 | Duquesne +10.5 v. St Bonaventure | 67-73 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
6* Duquesne/St. Bonaventure Atlantic 10 *CA$H COW* on Duquesne +10.5 The Key: St. Bonaventure is in a big letdown spot following its upset home win over Rhode Island last time out, handing the Rams their first conference loss of the season. Now they are double-digit favorites against a feisty Duquesne team that will battle them for 40 minutes. Duquesne wants to avenge an 81-84 home loss to St. Bonaventure in their first meeting on February 3rd earlier this month. The Dukes are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with the Bonnies, only losing by 3 and 4 points respectively in their last two trips to St. Bonaventure. The Bonnies are 6-18 ATS in their last 24 home games off an upset win over a conference opponent as an underdog. The Dukes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Take Duquesne. |
|||||||
02-21-18 | Richmond v. George Washington -3.5 | Top | 77-103 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show |
7* NCAAB *BLOWOUT* Game of the Month on George Washington -3.5 The Key: The George Washington Colonials have won 3 of their last 4 in impressive fashion. They beat La Salle by 11 and VCU by 24 at home, while also winning on the road at UMass by 11. I like the price we are getting with the Colonials at home today against Richmond, which has lost three straight coming in to fall to 9-17 on the season. The Colonials will be hungry to avenge a 68-78 road loss at Richmond back on January 13th. Take George Washington. |
|||||||
02-20-18 | Northern Iowa v. Valparaiso -2.5 | Top | 68-63 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
7* Missouri Valley Game of the Month on Valparaiso -2.5 The Key: I love the price we are getting with Valparaiso as only a 2.5-point home favorite over Northern Iowa. Valpo will be looking to avenge a 76-81 road loss at Northern Iowa back on January 13th. They should get their revenge at home considering they are 10-3 at home this year and winning by 12.3 points per game on average. The Panthers are just 2-11 SU & 2-10 ATS in all road games. Northern Iowa is 0-8 ATS in true road games this season. The Panthers are 4-17-1 ATS in their last 22 road games dating ack further. Take Valparaiso. |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Miami-FL +4.5 v. Notre Dame | Top | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
7* Miami/Notre Dame ACC *HEAVY HITTER* on Miami +4.5 The Key: The Miami Hurricanes will be hungry for a win tonight after their 18-5 start has turned into 18-8 following three consecutive losses. Now they’re up against a Notre Dame team they have had success against in going 2-1 SU & 2-1 ATS in the last three meetings. They are also 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to Notre Dame. The Hurricanes are 32-17 ATS in their last 49 games after failing to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games. Miami is 98-56 ATS in its last 154 games as a road underdog or PK, including 52-28 ATS in its last 80 games as a road dog of 6 points or less or PK. Take Miami. |
|||||||
02-18-18 | Wichita State +7 v. Cincinnati | Top | 76-72 | Win | 100 | 4 h 5 m | Show |
7* Wichita State/Cincinnati AAC Game of the Month on Wichita State +7 The Key: It’s rare that you get the opportunity to back Wichita State as an underdog, let alone a 7-point dog. We’ll take advantage today and back the Shockers in a game that will clearly have them more motivated than Cincinnati. The Shockers must win this game if they want any chance of winning the American Athletic, while the Bearcats can afford a loss because they have a two-game lead. The Shockers are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 Sunday games. The Bearcats are 19-39 ATS in their last 58 Sunday games. Take Wichita State. |
|||||||
02-17-18 | Oregon v. UCLA -3.5 | Top | 78-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
7* Oregon/UCLA Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on UCLA -3.5 The Key: The UCLA Bruins will be looking to avenge a 91-94 road loss at Oregon on January 20th in their first matchup this season. With the way they are playing of late, they should have no problem winning and covering as only 3.5-point home favorites in this rematch. The Bruins are 5-1 in there last 6 games overall with their only loss coming at Arizona State. They went on the road and even beat Arizona during this stretch. The Bruins are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning percentage of better than 60%. Take UCLA. |
|||||||
02-17-18 | Memphis v. Tulane -1 | 68-63 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
6* American Athletic *CA$H COW* on Tulane -1 The Key: The Tulane Green Wave are hungry for a victory after losing 4 straight against a brutal schedule coming in. And they want to avenge their 89-96 loss at Memphis earlier this season. The Tigers are just 3-7 in all road games this year. Memphis is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games. Memphis is 17-35 ATS in its last 52 games following a win. Take Tulane. |
|||||||
02-17-18 | Air Force +14 v. Boise State | 52-76 | Loss | -102 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
6* Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Air Force +14 The Key: Air Force only lost by 6 at home to Boise State in their first meeting a few weeks ago. Now the Falcons will want to avenge that loss at 14-point road underdogs in the rematch. The Broncos are ripe for the picking after losing to Nevada at home, which was a loss that cost them a shot at the MWC title. They won’t be up for this game at all now. And the Broncos have tended to fade late in the season in recent years as they are only 1-10 ATS in their last 11 February games. Take Air Force. |
|||||||
02-16-18 | Rhode Island v. St Bonaventure +2.5 | Top | 74-77 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
7* Atlantic 10 *HEAVY HITTER* on St. Bonaventure +2.5 The Key: The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are the only team capable of beating Rhode Island in the Atlantic 10. And now that the Rams have likely lost one of their best players on EC Matthews to an injury, they are ripe for the picking tonight. The Bonnies are 10-1 at home this year. They are 7-0 in their last 7 games overall. The home team has won 5 straight meetings in this series. The Bonnies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home meetings with the Rams. Take St. Bonaventure. |
|||||||
02-15-18 | Purdue -10 v. Wisconsin | Top | 53-57 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
7* Purdue/Wisconsin ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Purdue -10 The Key: The Purdue Boilermakers have lost two straight for the first time all season. They basically lost both on buzzer-beaters with a 63-64 loss to Ohio State and a 65-68 loss to Michigan State. They will be in a sour mood tonight when they take on the Wisconsin Badgers. Look for them to take out their frustration on a Wisconsin team that is 2-9 SU & 4-7 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Both wins came against Illinois, arguably the worst team in the Big Ten. Five of their last seven losses have come by double-digits, including an 11-point home loss to Michigan last time out. Purdue beat Wisconsin 78-50 at home in their first meeting this year. Wisconsin is 1-9 ATS versus teams who commit 12 or fewer turnovers per game this season. Take Purdue. |
|||||||
02-14-18 | Nevada v. Boise State -2.5 | Top | 77-72 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
7* Nevada/Boise State Mountain West *BAILOUT* on Boise State -2.5 The Key: Boise State is ready to avenge a tough 68-74 road loss at Nevada on January 20th in their first meeting this season. This game is now for first place in the Mountain West, and I trust the Broncos to get the job done at home. After all, Boise State is 13-0 at home this season and crushing opponents by 19 PPG. Nevada is 1-8 ATS off a conference win this season. The Broncos are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss. The favorite is 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take Boise State. |

02-14-18 | East Carolina +10.5 v. Tulane | 82-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
6* Conference USA *CA$H COW* on East Carolina +10.5 The Key: East Carolina wants to avenge a tough 69-71 (OT) home loss to Tulane on January 31st in their first meeting this season just two weeks ago. Now the Pirates are catching 10.5 points on the road in the rematch. The Green Wave are 1-5 SU & 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall. They can’t be trusted to lay this kind of weight. East Carolina is now 3-1 SU & 4-0 ATS in its last four meeting with Tulane. The underdog is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. The Pirate are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss. The Green Wave are 15-34-3 ATS in their last 52 home games. Tulane is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. They are coming off a 42-73 loss at Houston. Take East Carolina. |

02-14-18 | Hawks v. Pistons -10.5 | 98-104 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Detroit Pistons -10.5 The Key: The Detroit Pistons will be hungry for a victory in this final game before the All-Star Break. They have lost three in a row coming in and want to get some positive momentum going. They face a very tired Atlanta Hawks team that will be playing the second of a back-to-back and their 5th game in 7 days. It’s no wonder the Hawks are deciding to rest their best players tonight. They are sitting Dennis Schroeder, Kent Bazemore and Ersan Ilyasova for this one. Detroit is 11-2 ATS in home games off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite over the last 3 seasons. Take Detroit. |
|||||||
02-13-18 | Spurs v. Nuggets -5.5 | 109-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Denver Nuggets -5.5 The Key: The San Antonio Spurs have been hit hard by injuries this season. They are currently playing without Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and Rudy Gay. It’s no wonder they are just 1-4 SU in their last 5 games overall. Now they have to play the second of a back-to-back and their 3rd game in 4 days in altitude in Denver after losing on the road to Golden State on Saturday and in Utah on Monday. The Nuggets come in rested with two days off having last played on Saturday in Phoenix. The Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and playing great basketball right now. Denver is 12-4 ATS when revenging a loss this season. The Nuggets lost 104-106 in San Antonio as 6.5-point dogs on January 30th and will get their revenge tonight. The Spurs are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win. San Antonio is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games when playing on 0 days rest. The favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Take Denver. |

02-13-18 | Boston College v. Pittsburgh +8.5 | 81-58 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 0 m | Show | |
6* ACC *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh +8.5 The Key: The Pitt Panthers are 0-13 in ACC play this season. They clearly don’t want to go winless, and this is their best chance to get a victory perhaps all season at home against Boston College. The Golden Eagles are just 2-8 in all road games this season and should not be laying 8.5 points on the road tonight. The Panthers have gone through the gauntlet with their last four games coming against Miami, UNC, Clemson and Louisville with three of those on the road. They finally get a break in their schedule here and have a winnable home game. Pittsburgh is 15-1 SU in its last 16 meetings with Boston College. The Eagles are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 road games. Take Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
02-13-18 | Kansas v. Iowa State +7 | Top | 83-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 60 m | Show |
7* Big 12 Game of the Year on Iowa State +7 The Key: The Iowa State Cyclones have had one of the better home-court advantages in the country over the last decade-plus. That has really proven true of late as the Cyclones are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Big 12 home games despite being underdogs in all four. They beat Baylor 75-65 as 3-point dogs, Texas Tech 70-52 as 7.5-point dogs, West Virginia 93-77 as 8.5-point dogs and Oklahoma 88-80 as 6-point dogs. They have won these games all in blowout fashion too. Kansas is down this season and is coming off a 64-80 road loss at Baylor. The Jayhawks only beat the Cyclones 83-78 at home in their first meeting this season and are now being asked to lay 7 points on the road in the rematch. Iowa State is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 home games off an upset win as a home underdog. Kansas is 2-11 ATS after playing a game as a road favorite over the last 2 seasons. The Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Take Iowa State. |

02-12-18 | Suns v. Warriors -15.5 | Top | 83-129 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
7* Suns/Warriors NBA TV *BAILOUT* on Golden State -15.5 The Key: The Golden State Warriors got their wake up call by losing three out of five games recently. But they have responded well since, going 2-0 SU & 2-0 ATS in their last two games while beating the Mavericks by 18 and the Spurs by 17. They should have no problem winning by at least 16 to cover this 15.5-point spread against the struggling Phoenix Suns at home tonight. The Suns are 1-10 SU & 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall, losing eight times by double-digits. The Suns have a ton of injuries right now to Brandon Knight, Isaiah Canaan, Tyler Ulis, Devin Booker and Tyson Chandler. The first four are either out or questionable, while Chandler is probable. The Warriors have won their last 11 meetings with the Suns. They are also 11-0 in their last 11 home meetings with Phoenix. Take Golden State. |

6* Stanford/Colorado Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Colorado -3 The Key: I like the price we are getting on Colorado as only 3-point home favorites over the Stanford Cardinal today. The Buffaloes have played well at home all season with a 10-2 SU & 8-4 ATS record. They have beaten the likes of Arizona State, Arizona and Utah at home this year. Stanford is just 2-7 in all road games this season. Colorado owns Stanford, going 8-0 SU & 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Take Colorado. |

02-11-18 | Cavs v. Celtics UNDER 213.5 | Top | 121-99 | Loss | -107 | 3 h 25 m | Show |
7* Cavs/Celtics ABC *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 213.5 The Key: The Boston Celtics are the best defensive team in the NBA. They should shut down what will be a Cleveland team that is lost out on the floor today. The Cavs are going to implement their new players from the trade deadline. I think they will slow down the offense to try and get everyone touches. This game will be played at a snail’s pace. It will also be played with a high intensity defensively as these teams do not like each other. The UNDER is 2-0 in their two meetings this season with Cleveland winning 102-99 for 201 combined points and Boston winning 102-88 for 190 combined points. Cleveland is 21-8 UNDER as a dog of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last 3 seasons. The UNDER is 5-1 in Celtics last 6 home games. The UNDER is 5-1 in Celtics last 6 Sunday games. The UNDER is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Boston. Take the UNDER. |

02-10-18 | Portland +10.5 v. Pacific | 58-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
6* West Coast Conference *CA$H COW* on Portland +10.5 The Key: Pacific has gone 11-1 ATS in its last 12 games overall. But that point spread success has them getting the attention of the betting public now. I think they are finally getting too much respect as 10.5-point home favorites over Portland today, and it’s time to fade them. It’s also a terrible spot for the Tigers as they are coming off a 61-71 home loss to Gonzaga and won’t be nearly as motivated to face Portland tonight. Portland is 6-0-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall and continues to lack the respect it deserves as 10.5-point dogs tonight. They have played Gonzaga, St. Mary’s and San Francisco all tough during this stretch. Portland is 7-0 ATS in Saturday road games over the last 2 seasons. The Pilots are 6-0 ATS in road gams revenging a same season loss over the last 2 seasons. Take Portland. |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Bucks v. Magic +5 | 111-104 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Orlando Magic +5 The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks will be playing the second of a back-to-back tonight and their 8th game in 14 days tonight. This team is running on fumes right now, especially playing without starting PG Malcolm Brogdon and backup PG Matthew Dellavedova. That puts a lot more strain on Giannis to handle the ball and run the show. Orlando has been a covering machine here over the past month and continues to lack the respect it deserves from oddsmakers. The Magic are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall, which includes outright upsets in their last three games over the Heat, Cavs and Hawks. Another upset is likely here tonight, but we’ll grab the points for some insurance. Take Orlando. |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Dayton v. VCU -3 | Top | 84-88 | Win | 100 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
7* Atlantic 10 Game of the Month on VCU -3 The Key: VCU comes in hungry for a win tonight off two straight losses to Rhode Island and Richmond. The Rams are 10-4 at home this season and will be out for revenge from a loss at Dayton in their first meeting this year. Dayton is jus 2-4 SU & 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games overall. The Flyers are 2-8 SU & 3-7 ATS in all road games this year. Dayton is 0-8 ATS off a home win this season. The Flyers are 1-9 ATS off a win this year. The Rams are 7-0 ATS in home games versus teams who make 8 or more 3-point shots per game over the last 2 seasons. Take VCU. |

02-09-18 | Nuggets +8.5 v. Rockets | Top | 104-130 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
7* Nuggets/Rockets Western Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Denver +8.5 The Key: The Denver Nuggets have won three straight over Oklahoma City, Golden State and Charlotte. They’ve since had three days off and are now ready to give the Houston Rockets a run for their money tonight. The Rockets have some key injuries right now that are getting overlooked. Three of their best shooters in Trevor Ariza, Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson are either questionable or out tonight. Denver is 50-33 ATS as a road underdog over the last 3 seasons. The Nuggets are 11-3 ATS when revenging a same-season loss this season. Denver is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 Friday games. The Nuggets are 36-15-2 ATS in their last 53 games when playing on 3 or more days rest. The Rockets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Take Denver. |

02-09-18 | Minnesota v. Indiana -6.5 | 56-80 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
6* Minnesota/Indiana Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Indiana -6.5 The Key: The Indiana Hoosiers have played the likes of Purdue (lost by 7) and Michigan State (lost by 3) right down to the wire in two of their last four games. They got in the win column with a 65-43 blowout win at Rutgers last time out. Now they host a Minnesota team that looks to have quit and one that is extremely banged-up right now. The Gophers are 1-9 SU & 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Indiana already won 75-71 in Minnesota earlier this season as 8-point underdogs, and that was when the Gophers were a lot more healthy than they are now. Indiana is 6-0 ATS in conference home games this season. The Hoosiers are 7-0 ATS after playing a road game this year. The Hoosiers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games. Take Indiana. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | USC v. Arizona State -3.5 | Top | 78-80 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
7* USC/Arizona State ESPN 2 *BAILOUT* on Arizona State -3.5 The Key: The Arizona State Sun Devils are 10-2 at home this season and winning by 17.5 points per game on average. I think we are getting them at a short price here as only 3.5-point home favorites over the USC Trojans. The Trojans haven’t done well when they’ve taken a step up in class on the road this year. They have lost on the road to Stanford, SMU and UCLA. Their four road wins have come against Vanderbilt, Cal, Oregon and Oregon State. This will be their toughest road test of the season tonight. USC is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games when a total set of 160 or higher. Arizona State is 8-0 ATS after scoring 85 points or more this season. The Suns Devils are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games, and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win. The Trojans are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take Arizona State. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | Knicks v. Raptors -13.5 | 88-113 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Toronto Raptors -13.5 The Key: The New York Knicks just lost their best player in Kristaps Porzingis to a season-ending ACL injury last time out. Now they are without their second-best player in Enes Kanter due to a mouth injury. They were already struggling, losing 4 straight coming in, and now it’s not going to get any better with their two best players out. The Raptors should mop the floor with the Knicks at home tonight. Toronto is 22-4 at home this season and winning by 11.8 points per game on average. Toronto is 4-0 in its last 4 home meetings with New York while winning all 4 by double-digits. The Raptors are 7-0 ATS in home games after having won 4 of their last 5 games this season. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take Toronto. |

02-07-18 | Texas A&M +7 v. Auburn | Top | 81-80 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
7* Texas A&M/Auburn ESPN 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Texas A&M +7 The Key: When Texas A&M has been fully healthy this season, they have nearly gone undefeated. Well they are healthy again now and it’s starting to show. They are coming off two straight blowout victories over Arkansas (80-66) and South Carolina (83-60), and now they are ready to take down the Auburn Tigers, who are in first place in the SEC. This is the type of win the Aggies need to get on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. The road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Aggies are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 trips to Auburn. Take Texas A&M. |
|||||||
02-07-18 | Iowa State +14 v. Texas Tech | 58-76 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
6* Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Iowa State +14 The Key: This line has gotten out of hand because Texas Tech has won 4 straight coming in. But two of those were narrow home wins over Texas (73-71) and Oklahoma State (75-70). They aren’t blowing teams out and cannot be 14-point favorites against Iowa State tonight. The Cyclones beat the Red Raiders 70-52 at home in their first meeting this year. They are now 8-2 SU in their last 10 meetings with Texas Tech. Iowa State is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games following a loss. Texas Tech is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 Big 12 games. Iowa State is 12-2 ATS in its last 14 games as a road dog of 12.5 to 15 points. The Cyclones are 6-0 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games over the past 2 seasons. Iowa State is 8-1 ATS in road games when playing against a team with a winning percentage greater than 80% over the last 2 seasons. Take Iowa State. |
|||||||
02-06-18 | Wizards v. 76ers -6.5 | Top | 102-115 | Win | 100 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational Game of the Month on Philadelphia 76ers -6.5 The Key: The 76ers come in hungry for a victory after losing 4 of their last 5. They also coming in fresh having 2 days’ rest to get ready for the Wizards after last playing on Saturday. The same cannot be said for the Wizards, who will be playing the second of a back-to-back after their 111-102 win in Indiana last night against the injury-ravaged Pacers who were playing without both Victor Oladipo and Darren Collison. The Wizards have been able to get by without John Wall of late, but his injury will hurt them sooner rather than later. And I think that happens tonight in this tough rest situation for the Wizards. Philadelphia is 30-13 ATS off a road loss over the last 2 seasons. The 76ers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games. Take Philadelphia. |

02-06-18 | Missouri State v. Indiana State -2 | 81-62 | Loss | -106 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
6* Missouri Valley *CA$H COW* on Indiana State -2 The Key: Missouri State continues to get respect from oddsmakers despite going 2-7 SU & 0-9 ATS in its last 9 games overall. One of those wins was a 76-73 win over Indiana State at home on January 14th. But that places the Sycamores in revenge mode and this time they get them at home. The Bears are 0-9 ATS in their last nine MVC games. Take Indiana State. |
|||||||
02-06-18 | Tennessee v. Kentucky -1.5 | 61-59 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
6* Tennessee/Kentucky ESPN *CA$H COW* on Kentucky -1.5 The Key: Kentucky lost 65-76 at Tennessee in their first meeting this season on January 6th. That places the Wildcats in revenge mode at home tonight against the Volunteers. We are getting the Wildcats at a great price when you consider Kentucky is 17-2 SU in its last 19 home meetings with Tennessee. Kentucky is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 home meetings with Tennessee. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The Wildcats are 19-9 ATS in home games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 3 seasons. Take Kentucky. |
|||||||
02-05-18 | Bulls v. Kings -2.5 | Top | 98-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Sacramento Kings -2.5 The Key: The Chicago Bulls are in a world of hurt right now. They traded away Nikola Mirotic, and now both Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn are out. That’s three of their top four scorers. It’s no wonder the Bulls have gone 0-5 SU & 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall, getting outscoring by 11.8 points per game. This is a rare winnable game for the Kings and I expect them to take full advantage. Chicago is 5-14-1 ATS in its last 20 vs. Western Conference teams. The Kings are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference teams. The Kings are 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Take Sacramento. |
|||||||
02-04-18 | Eagles v. Patriots -175 | Top | 41-33 | Loss | -175 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
7* Eagles/Patriots Super Bowl *HEAVY HITTER* on New England -175 The Key: I trust the experience of Tom Brady and the Patriots much more than that of Nick Foles and the Eagles. And instead of laying the points, I’m going to back the Patriots at a great money line price of -175 today. Bill Belichick is 28-0 against the money line after successfully covering the spread in 8 or more of their last 10 games as the coach of the Patriots. Enough said. Take New England. |
|||||||
02-04-18 | Lakers v. Thunder -9.5 | 108-104 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 22 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Oklahoma City Thunder -9.5 The Key: The Thunder will be hungry for a victory following 3 consecutive losses coming in. That streak came after an 8-0 run, and the Thunder will be looking to start a new streak in blowout fashion tonight. They have owned the Lakers and that should continue to be the case, especially with Los Angeles likely without both Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball. The Thunder are 12-1 SU & 10-3 ATS in their last 13 meetings with the Lakers. They have won the last 3 meetings by 24, 37 and 17 points, respectively. Take Oklahoma City. |
|||||||
02-03-18 | Mavs -4.5 v. Kings | 106-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Dallas Mavericks -4.5 The Key: This is an awful spot for the Sacramento Kings. They’ll be playing the second of a back-to-back after losing to the Warriors 104-119 last night. They won’t be nearly as excited to play the Mavericks as they were to play the Warriors. The Mavs come in on 2 days’ rest and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games when working on 2 days’ rest. Dallas is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 home games. The Mavericks are also 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following an ATS loss. The Kings are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Sacramento is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Take Dallas. |

02-03-18 | Iowa +8.5 v. Penn State | 58-82 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
6* Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Iowa +8.5 The Key: Iowa is playing well coming in with its last three Big Ten wins recently coming by a combined 39 points. Penn State isn’t known for blowing out opponents, which is what it would have to do to cover this lofty 8.5-point spread. The Nittany Lions haven’t won any of their last 11 matchups with Iowa by more than 9 points. Penn State is also 0-6 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 9 points over the last 3 years. Take Iowa. |
|||||||
02-03-18 | Fresno State v. Wyoming -1.5 | Top | 80-62 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 8 m | Show |
7* Mountain West Game of the Year on Wyoming -1.5 The Key: Wyoming has had a tremendous home-court advantage throughout the years. The Cowboys are 9-2 at home this season, which includes a win over the best team in the MWC in Nevada. So they can certainly handle Fresno State, which just lost to Nevada by 10 last time out and could suffer a hangover effect from that defeat. The Bulldogs are 0-6 ATS off a loss this season. The Cowboys are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games. Wyoming is 37-18-1 ATS in its last 56 games vs. a team with a winning record. Take Wyoming. |
|||||||
02-02-18 | Pacers v. Hornets UNDER 211 | Top | 126-133 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 19 m | Show |
7* NBA Total of the Week on Pacers/Hornets UNDER 211 The Key: The Pacers and Hornets just played a few days ago on January 29th. The Pacers won 105-96 at home for 201 combined points, and the Pacers shot 54.2% in the win. There’s little chance they top this 211-point total in the rematch, especially considering the Pacers aren’t going to shoot any better than they did. That game was played as a slow pace as both teams attempted 83 shots in the game. I think we see more of the same here. The UNDER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings with combined scores of 201, 175, 188 and 204 points. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
02-01-18 | Thunder v. Nuggets +1.5 | Top | 124-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
7* Thunder/Nuggets TNT *BAILOUT* on Denver +1.5 The Key: The Denver Nuggets are coming off two straight heartbreaking losses by a combined 3 points to two of the best teams in the NBA in San Antonio (104-106) and Boston (110-111). They’ll be hungry for a victory when they return home tonight for this National TV game against Oklahoma City. The Nuggets have a great home-court advantage in the altitude as they are 19-7 at home this year. And the Nuggets have had the Thunder’s number in recent meetings, going 2-1 SU & 3-0 ATS in the last 3 meetings with their only loss coming 94-95 as 5-point road underdogs. Oklahoma City just had its 8-game winning streak come to an end with a 96-102 loss in Washington. Now it’s a hangover spot for the Thunder as they will be deflated after having their winning streak come to a close. The Thunder are 16-28 ATS as favorites this season. Oklahoma City is 1-12 ATS in its last 13 road games after covering the spread in 5 or 6 of its last 7 games coming in. Take Denver. |
|||||||
02-01-18 | San Diego +19.5 v. Gonzaga | 59-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
6* West Coast Conference *CA$H COW* on San Diego +19.5 The Key: At 15-7 on the season, the San Diego Toreros are one of the most improved teams in the country. They are capable of hanging with the Gonzaga Bulldogs tonight. This is a Gonzaga team that has been way overrated of late, going 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games overall. The Bulldogs haven’t won any of their last 5 games by more than 16 points. San Diego is 16-5 ATS in all road games over the last 2 seasons. Gonzaga is 0-6 ATS after 4 straight games where they made 47% of their shots or better this season. Take San Diego. |

01-31-18 | Arizona -11.5 v. Washington State | Top | 100-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
7* Pac-12 Game of the Month on Arizona -11.5 The Key: We have the best team in the Pac-12 here in Arizona at 8-1 in conference play against one of the worst teams in the Washington State Cougars at 1-7 in Pac-12 action. This is a mismatch and it will show up on the scoreboard tonight. And Arizona has owned Washington State, going a perfect 12-0 SU in the last 12 meetings. Amazingly, Arizona has won 8 straight meetings with Washington State by 14 points or more. That’s an 8-0 angle backing the Wildcats when you consider this spread is only 11.5. The Wildcats are 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings, and 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings at Washington State. Take Arizona. |
|||||||
01-31-18 | Hornets v. Hawks +3 | 123-110 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Atlanta Hawks +3 The Key: The Charlotte Hornets are just 6-15 SU & 7-11-1 ATS in their 19 road games this season. T hey cannot be favorites here against the Atlanta Hawks, who have been an underrated team this season. The Hawks have recent upset home wins over the likes of Minnesota, Utah, New Orleans and San Antonio. They have proven they can play with some great teams at home, and Charlotte is not a great team. Atlanta is 21-10 ATS after having lost 4 or 5 of its last 6 games this season. The Hornets are 9-19-1 ATS int heir last 29 games vs. a team with a winning percentage below 40%. The home team is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings. The Hawks want revenge from a 110-121 road loss in Charlotte on January 26th just a few days ago, adding to their motivation. Take Atlanta. |

01-31-18 | LSU v. Tennessee -9 | 61-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
6* LSU/Tennessee SEC *CA$H COW* on Tennessee -9 The Key: Tennessee is one of the best teams in the SEC this season. The Vols have gone 6-1 SU & 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall, winning all six games by 5-plus points. They should make easy work of the LSU Tigers, who are in the bottom half of the SEC. LSU is 1-4 SU & 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games overall, including a 25-point road loss at Auburn last time out. LSU is 0-7 ATS off a road loss by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons. Tennessee is 6-0 ATS after allowing 25 points or less in the first half last game over the last 2 seasons. Take Tennessee. |
|||||||
01-30-18 | Auburn v. Ole Miss +4.5 | Top | 79-70 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
7* Auburn/Ole Miss SEC *HEAVY HITTER* on Ole Miss +4.5 The Key: In their first meeting back on January 9th, Ole Miss led Auburn 45-35 at halftime. The Rebels led with 10 minutes left but then went cold, eventually losing 70-85 as 12-point underdogs. Now the Rebels will want revenge at home this time around after blowing that double-digit lead in the first meeting. And Ole Miss grabbed that lead despite playing without their best player in DeAndre Burnett, who sat out with an illness. Burnett is one of the best players in the country as he averages 15.2 points and 4.5 assists per game. He is irreplaceable on this team. Now the Rebels are healthy for the rematch. Ole Miss is 10-3 at home this season. The Rebels are 6-0 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games, beating the likes of South Carolina, Mississippi State, Florida and Alabama. Take Ole Miss. |

01-30-18 | Nuggets v. Spurs -7.5 | 104-106 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on San Antonio Spurs -7.5 The Key: Few teams have dominated the Denver Nuggets like the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs are 14-1 SU in their last 15 meetings with the Nuggets. Their last 4 wins have all come by 14 points or more. Their last 12 wins have all come by at least 8 points. Now they are only laying 7.5 points here and it’s too good to pass up. Denver is playing the second of a back-to-back after losing at home to the Celtics last night as well. Take San Antonio. |
|||||||
01-29-18 | Celtics v. Nuggets OVER 205 | 111-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
6* Monday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Celtics/Nuggets OVER 205 The Key: The Boston Celtics have been playing without their best defender in March Smart the last few games. It’s no wonder they have struggled defensively, which is a big reason they are just 1-5 in their last 6 games overall. The Celtics have allowed 102-plus points in 6 of their last 7 games overall after being the best defensive team in the NBA up to that point. They are still being treated like the best defensive team with a total of only 205 points here against the Denver Nuggets. I expect this to be a shootout against a Nuggets team that is averaging 109.0 points per game at home this year. These teams played in a shootout in their first meeting, a 124-118 win by Boston at home on December 13th that saw 242 combined points. We don’t need anywhere near 242 to get the OVER tonight. The OVER is 8-1 in Celtics last 9 Monday games. The OVER is 14-3-1 in Nuggets last 18 home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than 60%. Take the OVER. |

01-29-18 | Northwestern +7.5 v. Michigan | Top | 47-58 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 3 m | Show |
7* Northwestern/Michigan Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Northwestern +7.5 The Key: After a slow start to the season the Northwestern Wildcats have turned it on of late. They have won two straight 70-61 at home over Penn State and 77-69 at Minnesota. Now they’ve had nearly a week off having last played on Tuesday. They will be rested and ready to go tonight against the Michigan Wolverines. I think the Wolverines are in a hangover spot from their 88-92 loss at 3rd-ranked Purdue last time out. Northwestern is 15-6 ATS in road games when playing just its 2nd game in a week over the last 3 seasons. The Wildcats are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 Monday games. The Wolverines are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Monday games. Take Northwestern. |

01-28-18 | Seton Hall -5 v. DePaul | Top | 86-70 | Win | 100 | 4 h 52 m | Show |
7* Big East Game of the Month on Seton Hall -5 The Key: The Seton Hall Pirates come in hungry for a victory after losing two straight and 3 of their last 4 overall. And they’ve had over a week off having last played on January 20th, so they have been steaming for over a week about it. Look for them to take out their frustration on the lowly DePaul Blue Demons. DePaul is just 9-11 overall and 2-6 in Big East play. Seton Hall has won 4 straight meetings with DePaul. The Pirates are 23-11 ATS in their last 34 games following an ATS loss. The Blue Demons are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a win. DePaul is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 home games. The Blue Demons are 0-8 ATS in home games with a total set of 145 to 149.5 over the last 2 seasons. The Pirates are 36-17 ATS in their last 53 road games off a home loss. Take Seton Hall. |

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Brooklyn Nets +10.5 The Key: The Brooklyn Nets have gone 30-18 ATS in all games, including 17-9 ATS in road games this season. They have been one of the most underrated teams in the NBA. They have a deep bench that will help them overcome this back-to-back situation after losing in Milwaukee last night. Plus, it’s a short trip to Minnesota and they had two days off prior to the Milwaukee game. This is a tough situation mentally for Minnesota, which lost 113-126 at Golden State on Thursday. The Timberwolves have played five of their last six games on the road and are tired, plus they have the distraction of their first game back home here following a long trip. And they certainly won’t be as hungry to face the Nets as they were to face the Warriors. The Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. Take Brooklyn. |

01-27-18 | Pacific +12 v. BYU | Top | 65-80 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
7* WCC Game of the Year on Pacific +12 The Key: Pacific is a perfect 8-0 ATS in its last 8 games overall. Yet, the Tigers still lack the respect they deserve from oddsmakers as 12-point underdogs to BYU. They already beat BYU 67-66 at home as 6.5-point underdogs on January 6th in their first meeting. I think the Cougars are in a hangover spot here following their 62-75 loss at St. Mary’s on Thursday. The Tigers are 9-0 ATS off a conference games this season. Take Pacific. |

01-27-18 | San Francisco +19 v. Gonzaga | 73-82 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
6* San Francisco/Gonzaga WCC *CA$H COW* on San Francisco +19 The Key: San Francisco only lost 65-75 as 14.5-point home underdogs to Gonzaga in their first meeting this season on January 13th. Now two weeks later they get another shot at the Zags and are catching 19 points this time around. I think they can hang around and stay within the number here Saturday. The Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Dons are 110-68 ATS in their last 178 conference road games. San Francisco is 11-1 ATS in its last 12 road games after 15-plus games against teams who average 62 or more shots per game. Take San Francisco. |

01-27-18 | Georgetown +12.5 v. Creighton | 77-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
6* Georgetown/Creighton Big East *CA$H COW* on Georgetown +12.5 The Key: Georgetown suffered its most embarrassing defeat of the season in a 66-90 loss at home to Creighton back on January 6th in their first meeting. The Hoyas have not forgotten, and they are going to want revenge. The Bluejays are much more vulnerable now that their leading rebounder and third-leading scorer Martin Krampelj (11.9 PPG, 8.1 RPG) has been lost for the season as of January 18th to a torn ACL. The Hoyas are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss. Georgetown is 21-7-1 ATS in its last 29 road games off 3 or more consecutive home games. The Bluejays are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games following an ATS win. Take Georgetown. |

01-27-18 | Cincinnati v. Memphis +11.5 | 62-48 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
6* Cincinnati/Memphis AAC *CA$H COW* on Memphis +11.5 The Key: Memphis will be looking to avenge an ugly 48-82 road loss at Cincinnati on December 31st in their first meeting this season. Now the Tigers get the Bearcats at home and are catching a whopping 11.5 points. Memphis has been much better since that defeat. The Tigers ar e4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Cincinnati is 0-6 ATS in road games off two straight games as a home favorite over the last 2 seasons. The Bearcats are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 road games off 10 or more consecutive wins. The Bearcats are simply getting too much love from the books right now. Take Memphis. |

01-26-18 | Lakers v. Bulls -4 | Top | 108-103 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
7* NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month on Chicago Bulls -4 The Key: The Bulls are now 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games overall and have been the most profitable team in the NBA to back during this stretch. But they continue to lack the respect they deserve from the books. I think they’ll be hungry to bounce back from two straight losses tonight. And the Lakers come in getting too much respect after going 7-2 SU & 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall. But 6 of those 7 wins came at home. They went 1-2 on the road during this span with losses by 24 at Oklahoma City and by 9 at Memphis. The Lakers are just 6-15 on the road this season. The Bulls are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a losing record. Chicago is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 home games. The Lakers are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Take Chicago. |

01-25-18 | California v. UCLA -14 | 57-70 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
6* Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on UCLA -14 The Key: UCLA comes in hungry for a victory tonight following 3 straight losses. Now the Bruins will take out their frustration on the worst team in the Pac-12 in California tonight. UCLA already beat Cal 107-84 on the road in their first meeting this season and should have no problem covering 14 in the rematch at home tonight. Cal is 0-6 SU & 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games overall, losing 5 of those 6 games by double-digits. Cal is 3-14 ATS when playing against a good team (60% to 80%) over the last 2 seasons. The Bruins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Take UCLA. |
|||||||
01-25-18 | Wolves v. Warriors UNDER 228 | Top | 113-126 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
7* T’Wolves/Warriors TNT *BAILOUT* on UNDER 228 The Key: The Timberwolves and Warriors have combined for 228 or fewer points in 7 straight meetings when you don’t include overtime. They have combined for 228 or less at the end of regulation in 11 of the last 12 meetings as well. This total has been set too high tonight. Golden State is 32-15 UNDER in its last 47 home games after a game where it made 55% or better. The UNDER is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 games when playing on 0 days rest. The UNDER is 4-1 in Warriors last 5 Thursday games. The UNDER is 21-7 in the last 28 meetings. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
01-24-18 | Wolves v. Blazers -3.5 | Top | 114-123 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
7* NBA Western Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Portland Trail Blazers -3.5 The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers have regained their home-court advantage in recent weeks, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that they have gotten healthy. The Blazers are 6-0 SU & 4-1-1 ATS in their last six home games. Now they face a Minnesota Timberwolves team that will likely be without both Jimmy Butler and Jamal Crawford tonight. They should get the win and cover as only 3.5-point home favorites. The Timberwolves are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. The Blazers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 home meetings with Minnesota. Take Portland. |
|||||||
01-24-18 | Stanford +9 v. USC | 64-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
6* Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Stanford +9 The Key: The Stanford Cardinal are playing too well right now to be catching 9 points from the USC Trojans. Stanford is 5-1 SU & 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games overall. Its only loss came 71-73 as 6-point home underdogs to Arizona, perhaps the best team in the Pac-12. The Cardinal have wins over Arizona State, USC and UCLA along the way with 4 outright upsets during this stretch. Now they face USC for a second time, and while the Trojans may have their revenge, asking them to win by double-digits is too much. Stanford is 8-0 ATS vs. good 3-point shooting teams who make 37% or better after 15+ games over the last 2 seasons. Take Stanford. |
|||||||
01-23-18 | Celtics -5 v. Lakers | 107-108 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
6* Celtics/Lakers TNT *BAILOUT* on Boston -5 The Key: The Boston Celtics come in hungry for a victory following a season-high 3-game losing streak. I expect them to get back on track against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. The Celtics have won 4 straight meetings with the Lakers all by 6 points or more. They won their last two trips to Los Angeles by 20 and 7 points. The Celtics are 11-2 ATS after having lost 3 of their last 4 games over the past 2 seasons. The Celtics are 17-7 ATS in their last 24 road games. Take Boston. |

01-23-18 | Vanderbilt +11.5 v. Tennessee | Top | 62-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 35 m | Show |
7* SEC Game of the Month on Vanderbilt +11.5 The Key: Vanderbilt will be looking to avenge an 84-92 home loss to Tennessee on January 9th earlier this month. That was exactly two weeks ago today. There’s no question the Commodores will want this game more against their in-state rivals now, and they are catching 11.5 points in the rematch. The road team has dominated this series. The road team is 6-1 SU & 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. The Commodores are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 trips to Tennessee. The underdog is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. The Commodores are 7-0 ATS in road games when revenging a home loss over the last 3 seasons. Take Vanderbilt. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | 76ers -3 v. Grizzlies | Top | 101-105 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Philadelphia 76ers -3 The Key: The 76ers are rolling right now having gone 7-1 SU & 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. They should make easy work of the Memphis Grizzlies tonight now. The Grizzlies have a laundry list of injuries that the 76ers can take advantage of. They are without key players Mike Conley, Chandler Parsons, James Ennis and JaMychal Green. They also have both Dillon Brooks and Jarell Martin listed as questionable tonight, as well as Andrew Harrison and Brandan Wright both probable. They are running out of bodies and won’t be able to compete with the recent buzz saw that is the 76ers. Take Philadelphia. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | Iowa State +7 v. Texas | 57-73 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
6* Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Iowa State +7 The Key: Iowa State will be looking to avenge a 74-70 home loss to Texas in their first meeting this season. This is a Texas team that is now playing without its best player in Andrew Jones since that first meeting. The Longhorns were just blasted 51-86 at West Virginia over the weekend to show just how poor of shape they are in right now. The Cyclones have won 2 of their last 3 with a 10-point win over Baylor and an 18-point blowout of Texas Tech. They are the better team right now and should not be getting 7 points in this rematch. Each of the last 11 meetings have been decided by 10 points or fewer, including 5 of the last 8 by 4 points or less. Take Iowa State. |
|||||||
01-21-18 | Jaguars v. Patriots UNDER 46 | Top | 20-24 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
7* Jags/Patriots AFC *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 46 The Key: The Jaguars have a Top 2 defense this season. They have the top-ranked pass defense. They have the formula and the players to limit what the Patriots can do offensively, which few teams can claim. But the Jaguars also have one of the worst offenses and one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. That’s why they go with a run-heavy approach, shortening the game and playing to the strength of their defense. The Patriots have been awesome defensively down the stretch. They have allowed 17 or fewer points in 11 of their last 13 games overall. I certainly don’t foresee the Jaguars topping 17 points in this one. Bets on the UNDER on road teams where the total is between 42.5 and 49 points off a big road win scoring 31 or more points are 28-6 since 1983. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Bulls v. Hawks -1.5 | 113-97 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 31 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Atlanta Hawks -1.5 The Key: The Chicago Bulls are in a hangover spot Saturday. They just lost to the defending champion Warriors 112-119 at home last time out. It has been very profitable betting against teams the game after they have played Golden State this season. The Hawks are playing well, going 3-2 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. They are coming off back-to-back upset home victories over the Spurs and Pelicans and are playing great right now. The Bulls are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Atlanta. The favorites is 42-17 ATS in the last 59 meetings. Take Atlanta. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Missouri State v. Drake +2.5 | 58-61 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show | |
6* Missouri Valley *CA$H COW* on Drake +2.5 The Key: The Drake Bulldogs have been the most underrated team in the Missouri Valley this season. They are legit contenders. Drake is 6-2 SU & 5-2 ATS in its last 8 games overall. The Bulldogs are a perfect 7-0 SU & 4-0 ATS at home this year, winning by 20.7 PPG. Missouri State has lost 3 of its last 4 road games to Oral Roberts, Illinois State and Evansville. Missouri State is 9-21 ATS as a favorite over the last 2 seasons. Drake is 9-1 ATS vs. teams who outscore their opponents by 8-plus points per game over the last 2 seasons. Take Drake. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Ole Miss +8 v. Arkansas | Top | 93-97 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show |
7* SEC Game of the Month on Ole Miss +8 The Key: Arkansas cannot be this heavily favored with the way they are playing right now. The Razorbacks are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games. They have been exposed in SEC play. Ole Miss has shown they can compete with anyone. The Rebels are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games. They have played well whenever DeAndre Burnett has been in the lineup, and he missed one of those non-covers against Auburn. Ole Miss is 11-0 ATS off a loss to a conference opponent over the last 2 seasons. Take Ole Miss. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | St Bonaventure v. Davidson -4.5 | Top | 73-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
7* St. Bonaventure/Davidson ESPN 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Davidson -4.5 The Key: St. Bonaventure is 0-3 in its last 3 true road games, losing by 10 at Dayton, by 7 at St. Joe’s and by 14 at Rhode Island. Now the Bonnies have to face a hot Davidson team that has won 4 straight, including the last three by 27, 27 and 30 points with two of those three games on the road. Davidson is 5-0 at home this season and winning by 25.6 points per game. The Wildcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. The Bonnies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Take Davidson. |
|||||||
01-18-18 | UCLA v. Oregon State +1 | 63-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
6* UCLA/Oregon State Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Oregon State +1 The Key: Oregon State is not getting the respect it deserves this season. That has been evident in Pac-12 play as the Beavers have gone 4-1 ATS this year. They are coming off back-to-back road loss at Arizona by 9 as 16-point dogs and at Arizona State by 2 as 12-point dogs. Now they return home hungry for a victory tonight against UCLA. I think UCLA is way overrated right now due to a soft conference schedule to open the season. They have gone just 3-2 despite playing 3 home games against Utah, Colorado and Washington, and two road games at Stanford and California. Those are 5 of the worst teams in the Pac-12. Oregon State is 8-2 at home this season. Bets on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by more than 6 points in 3 consecutive games again an opponent that went over the total by 42 or more points in their last five games are 30-9 ATS since 1997. The Bruins are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss. The Beavers are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take Oregon State. |

01-18-18 | 76ers +5 v. Celtics | Top | 89-80 | Win | 100 | 5 h 6 m | Show |
7* 76ers/Celtics TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on Philadelphia +5 The Key: Look for the 76ers to be hungry after blowing a 22-point lead to the Celtics in London on January 11th less than a week ago. They have won 5 of their last 6 games while going 5-1 ATS in the process. Now they get perhaps a depleted Celtics team that has injuries to starting guards Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Marcus Smart (Illness), who are both questionable to play tonight. The 76ers are 25-10 ATS in their last 35 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Philadelphia is 37-18 ATS in its last 55 games following an ATS win. Bets against home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an ATS loss, an well-rested team playing just their 2nd game in 7 days are 33-9 ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Philadelphia. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Warriors v. Bulls +8.5 | Top | 119-112 | Win | 100 | 5 h 1 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Chicago Bulls +8.5 The Key: The Warriors are in a huge letdown spot tonight against the Chicago Bulls. They had a big second half to pull away to beat Cleveland 118-108 on Martin Luther King Day. Now they won’t bring the same kind of intensity against the Bulls tonight. This is a Bulls team that has gone 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games overall and is fully capable of hanging with the Warriors with the way they have been playing. They are also 14-7 SU in their last 21 games. Chicago is 8-0 ATS off 2 consecutive home games this season. The Bulls are 9-0 ATS off 2 or more consecutive wins this season. Take Chicago. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Heat v. Bucks -4 | 106-101 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 1 m | Show | |
6* NBA Eastern Conference *CA$H COW* on Milwaukee Bucks -4 The Key: I like the short price we are getting with the Milwaukee Bucks in this situation tonight. They will be out for revenge from a loss in Miami on Sunday. They haven’t had to wait long to get their revenge here Wednesday. The home team is 5-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings with all 5 wins coming by 6 points or more. Miami is 1-10 ATS after having won 3 of its last 4 games this season. Take Milwaukee. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Texas Tech -3.5 v. Texas | 58-67 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
6* Texas Tech/Texas Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Texas Tech -3.5 The Key: The Texas Longhorns are without 2 of their top 4 scorers right now. They are missing Andrew Jones (13.5 PPG) and Kerwin Roach II (10.3 PPG), their best two guards. That’s going to make it difficult for them to compete in the rugged Big 12 that is likely the best conference in the country moving forward. Texas Tech is 15-2 and a clear contender to win the conference. The Red Raiders are 12-5 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning percentage of greater than 60%. The Longhorns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. Take Texas Tech. |

01-16-18 | Pelicans v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Boston Celtics -4.5 The Key: The Celtics will be playing just their 2nd game in 10 days tonight. They made a trip over to London to face the 76ers on Thursday and have been off since. They will be chomping at the bit to get back on the court tonight and build on their tremendous season with another victory over the Pelicans. The Celtics are 8-1 ATS when the total is 210 to 219.5 this season. The Pelicans are 5-18 ATS in their last 23 road games off two straight overs. Boston is 10-1 ATS versus good passing teams averaging 23 or more assists this season. The Celtics are 15-2 ATS versus good shooting teams making 46% of their shots or more this season. Take Boston. |

01-15-18 | Heat v. Bulls | Top | 111-119 | Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Chicago Bulls PK The Key: The Heat will be playing the second of a back-to-back after a home win over the Bucks yesterday. Now they have to come back and play this early start time against the Chicago Bulls with a long flight to Chicago overnight. I like the situation for the Bulls, who will be playing just their 2nd game in 5 days. And the Bulls have been undervalued for quite some time now as they are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall. They have also won 13 of their last 20 games outright. Chicago is 8-0 ATS against Southeast Division opponents this season. The Bulls are 10-1 ATS when playing just their 2nd game in 5 days this season. Chicago is 8-0 ATS off 2 or more consecutive wins this season. Take Chicago. |
|||||||
01-14-18 | Jaguars v. Steelers -7 | Top | 45-42 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 7 m | Show |
7* Jaguars/Steelers AFC *HEAVY HITTER* on Pittsburgh -7 The Key: The Pittsburgh Steelers committed 5 turnovers and gave up two pick-6’s the first time these teams played. But the Steelers have gone 10-1 since that loss to the Jaguars in Week 5. And the only loss was to the Patriots on a controversial call that overturned a game-winning TD. The Steelers are now basically fully healthy going into the playoffs for the first time in a long time. They have a high-powered offense and an improved defense. Blake Bortles won’t be able to keep up with a motivated Big Ben who will want to make amends for that 5-pick effort back in Week 5. And Le’Veon Bell is primed for a huge game as he gets the bulk of the action in this game against a Jags run D that has been sub-par all season. The Steelers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 playoff home games, including 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 Divisional Playoff games. Their experience wins out in this one. Take Pittsburgh. |

01-12-18 | Magic +10.5 v. Wizards | Top | 119-125 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
7* NBA Eastern Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Orlando Magic +10.5 The Key: After losing 15 of their last 16 games overall, the Orlando Magic are starting to catch too many points on a nightly basis. They have covered in 2 of their last 3 with a 4-point loss to the Cavs as 8.5-point dogs and a 7-point loss to the Bucks as 10-point dogs. Now they are getting 10.5 against a Wizards team that has been upset in back-to-back home games by Milwaukee and Utah as 3.5 and 8-point favorites, respectively. Washington is just 8-19 ATS as a favorite this season. The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Take Orlando. |
|||||||
01-11-18 | Utah +6.5 v. UCLA | 64-83 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
6* Utah/UCLA Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Utah +6.5 The Key: The Utah Utes have actually played their best basketball on the road this season. They won 66-56 as 9.5-point dogs at Oregon and 66-64 as 1-point dogs at Oregon State in their last two road games. They lost their last two home games to the two best teams in the Pac-12 in Arizona and Arizona State, so they’ll come in hungry for a victory against UCLA. The Bruins are being overvalued right now because they have opened conference play with a softer schedule than anyone, going 3-1 against the likes of Washington State, Washington, Stanford and California. They take a step up in competition here against the Utes, who are a balanced team with 5 players averaging double-digits scoring. The last two meetings between these teams were decided by a total of 3 points with the road team winning 83-82 and 75-73. UCLA is 0-7 ATS off a blowout win by 20 points or more against a Pac-12 opponent over the last 3 seasons. Take Utah. |

01-11-18 | Clippers v. Kings +1.5 | Top | 121-115 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational Game of the Month on Sacramento Kings +1.5 The Key: The Clippers will be playing the second of a back-to-back and their 3rd game in 4 days tonight. They just got done upsetting the Warriors last night, so they won’t be able to match the intensity they played with in that game. And Lou Williams won’t be going off for a career-high 50 points again. And it’s worth noting hat two of the Big 4 for the Warriors sat that game out in Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. The Clippers also have 6 key players who are either questionable or out, with 4 doubtful or out. They won’t have the horses to be able to back up that effort last night. Take Sacramento. |

6* Big 12 *CA$H COW* on TCU +1.5 The Key: The TCU Horned Frogs have gone 13-2 this season. Their two losses have come to Kansas by 4 and Oklahoma by 1, which is how close they are to being 15-0. Now they take on a Texas team that will be without their best player in Andrew Jones, who averages 13.5 PPG while shooting 52.8% from the field and 47.5% on 3-pointers. The Horned Frogs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. Take TCU. |

7* NBA Total of the Month on Blazers/Rockets OVER 214.5 The Key: The OVER is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between Houston and Portland. They have combined for 219 or more points in all 6 meetings. They have averaged 231.2 combined points per game in those 6 meetings. It’s easy to see why the price is right to pull the trigger on the OVER tonight. Take the OVER. |

6* Atlantic 10 *CA$H COW* on St. Joe’s -4 The Key: Just looking at recent home performances by George Mason it’s easy to see that St. Joe’s should have no problem winning this game by 5-plus points. George Mason lost at home to Davidson by 27, at home to Penn State by 22 and at home to Georgia Southern by 23 in 3 of its last 4 home games. The only exception was a 7-point win over lowly Morgan State.

7* Purdue/Michigan Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Purdue -1.5 The Key: Purdue is 15-2 and clearly one of the top teams in the country. I think we are getting them at a cheap price here tonight as they go for their 12th straight victory. Michigan has played a very soft schedule recently and will take a step up in class here. Purdue is 9-1 ATS against teams who outscore their opponents by 12-plus points per game over the last 2 seasons. The Boilermakers are 36-17-3 ATS in their last 56 games overall. Purdue is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take Purdue. |
