Take Nebraska. This is my BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH. Game 553. 6:00 pm pst. Nebraska is soaring, winning 3 in a row and 5 of their L6 SU, and covering 13 of their L14, including 7 straight road games. Minnesota is sinking, as they have dropped 5 in a row and 8 of their L9 SU, covering just 4 of their L16 outings. A 100% healthy, Cornhuskers team face a limping Golden Gophers squad without Curry and Lynch while Diedhiou and Coffey are questionable. Nebraska beat Minnesota, 78-68 back in December, to win and cover 5 of the L7 meetings. The Cornhuskers are 10-1 ATS their L11 vs. Big Ten opponents while the Golden Gophers are 0-4 ATS their L4 games played at home. Take Nebraska. Thank you. |

02-06-18 | Cavs v. Magic +7 | 98-116 | Win | 100 | 25 h 1 m | Show | |
Take Orlando. This is my BEST BET play. Game 502. 4:05 pm pst. These 2 teams have met 3 times this season, with Orlando covering all 3 meetings. Cleveland enters this matchup covering just 3 of their L20 contests and failing to cover 11 straight road games. Orlando has been money, covering 8 of their L10 outings. The loss of Vucevic is significant but the Magic have depth, while the Cavs just can't seem to get on track without Love. Orlando is 8-1 ATS their L9 vs. teams with a winning record and 5-0 ATS their L5 vs. the NBA Central. Take the Magic. Thank you. |

Take Tennessee. This is my SLAM DUNK. Game 541. 4:00 pm pst. Tennessee has had success against Kentucky, covering 7 of the L9 meetings, including a 76-65 win and cover just 1 month ago. The Vols have won 5 in a row and 8 of their L9 SU, going 7-2 ATS, while the Wildcats are just 5-4 SU and 3-6 ATS their L9 overall. UK is chock full of freshman while UT has got a roster of seasoned veterans. The front court of Williams and Schofield (28.7 PPG/ 12.5 RPG combined) will dominate this matchup. The Volunteers are 8-1 ATS their L9 games played on the road and 6-2 ATS their L8 games played vs. SEC opponents.

02-05-18 | Syracuse +7 v. Louisville | 78-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 60 m | Show | |
Take Syracuse. This is my ESPN TV WINNER. Game 717. 4:00 pm pst. Both teams are quite similar in standings, however, Syracuse plays a frustrating, stifling defense. Giving the Orange 7 points here is a grave mistake by the oddsmakers. They rank 7th in Points Allowed (62.7 PPG) and 4th in FG% (38.1%), while possessing a superior rebounding corps. The back court of Battle and Howard (34.4 PPG/6.4 RPG combined) will control the tempo here. Take Syracuse. Thank you. |

02-04-18 | Eagles v. Patriots -4 | 41-33 | Loss | -109 | 57 h 60 m | Show | |
Take New England. Game 102. 3:30 pm pst. Most people tend to over-think the Super Bowl. This is because of a few reasons. To begin with, it is last chance to bet football for 6 months. Lastly and even more significant, due to 2 weeks between Conference Championships and Super Bowl, with media days, most people tend to overanalyze this game. But the Super Bowl really does come down to BIG GAME experience, which New England has tons of. People also judge this game by the Conference Championships. So, Philly steamrolling Minnesota and New England having to come from behind to beat Jacksonville has quite a bit to do with the line and the line movement. What people aren't realizing is that the Patriots, once again did what it takes to win. The Super Bowl against Seattle, the Super Bowl LY against Atlanta, and now 2 weeks ago against Jacksonville. QB play is vital. Nick Foles is still erratic and so is the Eagles offense at times. Foles' QB rating is just 79.5. Now compare that to Brady's rating of 102.8. Everyone is talking about the Eagles "D", but the Patriots defense is best in the NFL the L15 weeks. Keep it simple guys, Play the Patriots. Thank you.

Take Kentucky. This is my SEC GOW. Game 551. 11:00 am pst. Missouri is thin in the back court as Phillips is out (suspension). This gives the Guard-rich Kentucky squad a big edge here. The Wildcats have 4 DD scorers (1 starter at 9.8 PPG) and play a very tough "D" on the perimeter. A place where Missouri relies upon, offensively. The Wildcats are 5-2 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take Kentucky. Thank you. |

I wouldn't put too much stock into Boston's recent offensive slide as the team plays awesome defense, ranking 2nd in Points Allowed, yielding just, 98.5 PPG. The Celtics took the earlier meeting, 124-118, back in mid-December and are 9-1 as a 'd-g.

Take Ball State. This is my Consensus Play. Game 524. 9:00 am pst. This meetings doesn't bode well as Akron has been without their 2 tallest players, Sayles and Olojakpoke.

The Spurs rank 1st in Points Allowed (97.4 PPG) and are a Top-5 team in just about every defensive category. Philly has been covering but San Antonio is 17-6 ATS at home and has revenge motivating them from a January 3rd loss. The Home Team is 11-5 ATS their L16 meetings in this series.

Take Duquesne. This is my LAY UP. Game 728. 4:00 pm pst. Laying a short price with the defensively aggressive (66.0 PPG overall allowed) Duquesne squad at home is the smart play here. The Dukes own a 12-2 SU (5-1 ATS) home record, covering their L4 at the AJ Palumbo Center. Richmond has had issues on the road, where they are just 1-5 SU and will have problems putting up points with their lackluster offense (68.1 PPG overall/63.3 PPG on the road).

Ball is out (knee), Caldwell-Pope (achilles), Kuzma (finger), and Ingram (ankle) are all questionable.

Take San Antonio, This is my TNT EARLY GAME WINNER. Game 504. 5:05 pm pst. Cleveland is just 3-9 SU their L12 and have covered just 2 of their L18 games. Meanwhile, San Antonio is proving that they can win without Kawhi Leonard in the lineup and giving the Spurs points at home, where they are 19-3 SU and 15-6-1 ATS is beyond me.

01-21-18 | Vikings -3 v. Eagles | 7-38 | Loss | -100 | 57 h 26 m | Show | |
Take Minnesota. Game 313. 3:40 pm pst For starters guys, every single handicapper I have spoken to, likes the Eagles outright. Not only that, but I read 7 publications this week, and all 7 also like Philly outright as well. Not just because I am a contrarian, but I like Minnesota. Not just to win but to cover. The Eagles deserve their accolades but I've got to tell ya', the L6 weeks or 5 games, this team hasn't impressed me. They lost 24-10 to the Seahawks, let the Rams post 35, the Giants post 29, and eked out a 19-10 victory over the Raiders. Ok, they ended the regular-season with a non-important, 6-0 loss to the Cowboys. And then LW, they played a mediocre Falcons team and won 15-10, scoring just 1 TD and 3 FG's. Both teams play solid defense but Philadelphia ranks 17th vs. the pass...and that gives Minnesota, who already has much better receivers, a big leg up. Flip side, the Vikings own the #1 "D" in Points Allowed (15.8 PPG), #1 in Total Yards Allowed, and are 2nd vs. the Pass and 2nd vs. the Run. Nick Foles lost his anchor when Tackle, Jason Peters went down with a knee injury, LW. This is huge guys. This, along with the fact that Minny is much stronger against the Pass, are major factors. I feel the way the Vikings won LW, gives them momentum and the fact that they will be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their own stadium gives them further motivation. The team is 5-1 ATS their L6 games played on the road, 5-2 ATS their L7 games played following an ATS loss, and 42-18 ATS their L60 games played overall. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

01-21-18 | Jaguars v. Patriots -7 | 20-24 | Loss | -110 | 67 h 23 m | Show | |
New England has more post-season experience than any 2 teams in the League, while Jacksonville has almost none. make no mistake of it, when it comes to the post-season, throw out just about everything that has occurred in the regular season. I want to address the two biggest news stories this week. First, Brady's hand. This is usual Belichick BS propaganda, so pay it no mind. Second, everyone is talking about the Jaguars defense, but this "D" allowed the 49ers to put up 44 points a month ago and the Steelers to post 42 points just last week. The Patriots bring into this game the #2 scoring offense, averaging 28.6 PPG. Remember that New England (ranked 10th in rushing) can run the ball too, which doesn’t fare well against a Jacksonville defense that ranks 21st against the run. The Jags "D" has had issues with offenses that can do both throw and run the ball. The Jaguars defense must face Terrific Tom. Brady has 26 playoff wins which is more than the entire Jacksonville roster of players and coaches put together. On the flipside, the Jacksonville "O" is going up against a New England stop-unit that has yielded just 14.0 PPG over their L13 contests. Blake Bortles is making just his 3rd Playoff start and only his 2nd road playoff start...and playing in Foxborough in January isn't easy. He heads up an offense that lacks superstars and big game playmakers. I understand that New England ranks 20th against the run but this is team, over the last 18 years, every weakness they have ever had, they have overcame. You can bet your ass that DC, Matt Patricia has fixed this while Bill Belichick will have his defense throw a new looks at Bortles and force mistakes. The Patriots are 27-11-2 ATS their L40 games played vs. teams with a winning record, 5-0 ATS their L5 home Playoff games, and 36-15-2 ATS their L53 overall games. Take New England. Thank you. |

As a matter of fact, the Cavs are 3-17-1 ATS at home this season, 7-18-1 ATS their L26 vs. Western Conference foes, and 5-15-1 ATS their L21 on 1 days rest. Oklahoma City has won 3 straight, playing much better this month as Westbrook, George, and Anthony have combined to shoot 47% in January. With the OKC surge on offense, it doesn't bode well for a Cleveland team that's ranking 25th in PA (108.6 PPG) and 25th in FG% Allowed (47.1%). The Thunder are 8-2 ATS their L10 vs. the NBA Central and 11-4-1 ATS their L15 on 2 days rest. Take Oklahoma City. Thank you. |

With Forward, Donta Hall sidelined (wrist) Alabama loses their best rebounder and 3rd leading scorer, which leaves the tem with just 1 solid big man to go up against an Auburn front court that rotates 4 big, strong Forwards. The Tigers are 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series, 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. SEC opponents, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played on the road. Take Auburn. Thank you. |

01-15-18 | Minnesota v. Penn State -7.5 | 95-84 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Take Penn State. This is my Consensus play. Game 734. 4:00 pm pst. Since losing both Guard, Coffey and Center, Lynch, Minnesota has dropped 3 in a row both SU and ATS. The Golden Gophers will have trouble scoring points against the defensively aggressive (65.7 PPG allowed) Nittany Lions squad. PSU is 14-5 ATS their L19 games played at home. Take the Nittany Lions. Thank you. |

01-14-18 | Jaguars v. Steelers -7 | 45-42 | Loss | -110 | 46 h 15 m | Show | |
Take Pittsburgh. Game 306. 10:05 am pst. In the October 8th meeting, Big Ben tossed 5 INT's. That won't happen again. Speaking of 5 INT's, that's how many Blake Bortles has thrown over his L3 games against just 1 TD. All season long, their rushing game and their defense has earned the Jaguars wins. Well, we are in the post-season, and a QB has to contribute. I watched as Bortles has made some of the poorest pass attempts of the campaign, over and over. Pittsburgh comes in here healthy and rested and let's face it, the Steelers are certainly no strangers to the post-season, particularly at Heinz Field. The Steelers well-balanced offense (who is the best unit the Jags have faced in months) will wear down this defense while the Pittsburgh stop-unit is going to create multiple TO's. Pittsburgh is 7-1 ATS their L8 home Playoff games while the Jaguars are 1-5 ATS their L6 road Playoff games. Take the Steelers. Thank you. |

01-13-18 | Titans v. Patriots -13 | 14-35 | Win | 100 | 30 h 32 m | Show | |
Take NE. Game 304. 5:15 pm pst. Tennessee came from behind to beat Kansas City LW. But, don't put too much stock into that victory as the Chiefs tend to crumble come the 2nd half. Also, overlook all the off-the-field headlines surrounding New England. The team is a machine and will come out focused here. The Titans numbers are pedestrian and the 2 times they faced good, passing QB's (Watson and Roethlisberger), they were burned for a total of 97 points. The Patriots enter this contest well-rested and well-prepared. Their offens4e can score points on anyone, while their defense has allowed just 14.0 PPG over their L12 outings. Marcus Mariota ran out of miracles LW and will get blitzed, rushed, hurried, and sacked. New England has taken the L6 in this series, going 5-1 ATS. they are 6-1 ATS their L7 Playoff games and 35-15-2 ATS their L52 home games. Take the Patriots. Thank you. |

01-13-18 | Georgia Tech -5.5 v. Pittsburgh | 69-54 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show | |
Take Georgia Tech. This is my ACC GOM. Game 553. 11:00 am pst. Georgia Tech has covered 6 straight over Pitt and comes into this matchup, having solved some early season issues. They have won their L3 SU and their L4 ATS, with outright victories over Miami and Notre Dame. Pitt is riding a 4-game SU skid, going 1-3 ATS, losing each by DD's, on an average of 22.5 PPG. The absence of Forward, Ryan Luther (2nd leading scorer & only true rebounder) has been fatal and leaves the door wide open for G Tech, Center, Ben Lammens to go uncontested. The Yellow Jackets are 19-7 ATS their L26 vs. the ACC while the Panthers are 1-8 ATS their L9 vs. the ACC. Take Georgia Tech. Thank you. |

01-13-18 | South Carolina v. Georgia -4.5 | 64-57 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Take Georgia. This is my LVSM. Game 538. 10:00 am pst. South Carolina has been crushing bettors, covering just once in over a month, while Georgia has been money, covering 5 of their L6. The Bulldogs are a perfect, 8-0 SU at home (4-1 ATS) outscoring guests by 13.9 PPG. The Gamecocks have suffered 6 losses this season, with 5 of those defeats coming away from home (2-3 road/2-2 neutral). The front court of Maten, Hammonds, and Ogbeide (34.7 PPG & 19.7 RPG combined) are too strong here. South Carolina is 5-22 ATS the L27 meetings vs. Georgia and 3-12 ATS their L15 vs. SEC opponents. Georgia is 13-3 ATS their L16 vs. South Carolina in Athens and 4-0 ATS their L4 at home. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you. |

Take Houston. This is my BB play. Game 817. 7:35 pm pst. Houston can win without James Harden. The Rockets have won and covered their L2 (without their star Guard) over the Bulls and Blazers. they face a Suns team that they have dominated, taking 5 in a row SU (4-1 ATS). Chris Paul and company have too much firepower for Phoenix. The Suns are 0-6 ATS their L6 games played on 3 or more days rest. Take the Rockets. Thank you. |

01-11-18 | Oregon v. Arizona State -6.5 | 76-72 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
Take ASU. This is my SD play. Game 564. 7:00 pm pst. Oregon has had their way with ASU in recent years but the Sun Devils will get some revenge here. They come into this contest with a perfect, 8-0 SU home mark, going 6-2 ATS and averaging 91.2 PPG in Tempe. Tra Holder (21.6 PPG/5.0 RPG) leads a trio of Guards that will control the tempo here. The Ducks are 3-9 ATS their L12 overall while the Sun Devils are 13-3 ATS their L16 at home. Take ASU. Thank you. |

01-11-18 | Stanford -2 v. Washington State | 79-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
Take Stanford. This is my LVSM. Game 545. 6:00 pm pst. Stanford took the L2 meetings (L2 seasons) over WSU (both SU and ATS), by 16 and 30 points. The Cougars enter today, dropping 3 in a row both SU and ATS while the Cardinal is riding a 2 game (SU and ATS) win streak. Just so happens that over the last week or so, Washington State took a 14-pt loss to UCLA and an 18-pt loss to USC, while Stanford beat both within the last week. The best player on the court is cardinal Forward, Robert Franks (17.9 PPG/7.3 RPG). Stanford is 15-5-2 ATS the L22 meetings with WSU. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. |

01-08-18 | Alabama -3.5 v. Georgia | Top | 26-23 | Loss | -105 | 124 h 38 m | Show |
Take Alabama. This is my NCAAF GAME OF THE YEAR. Game n151. 5:10 pm pst. After suffering their first loss of the season, Alabama came back to crush #1 Clemson, 24-6 in the Sugar Bowl. QB, Jalen Hurts leads an offense that has turned the ball over just 9 times this season. This offense doesn't make mistakes and doesn't wear down. The 10th ranked rushing unit opens up the passing game for Hurts to post 37.9 PPG. Georgia has a very strong defense, but they are stepping up in class here. Offensively, the Bulldogs have no passing game, ranking 120th and completing just 12.1 passes per game. They are all about the rush. Alabama counters with the #1 run defense in the nation. The Crimson Tide stout DL and speedy LB corps will get to soph QB, Jake Fromm and create TO's. One more "FUN FACT", Nick Saban is 11-0 SU in his career vs. former assistant coaches. Take Alabama. Thank you. |

01-07-18 | Panthers v. Saints -6.5 | Top | 26-31 | Loss | -115 | 96 h 3 m | Show |
When it comes to BIG GAMES, you know, who to come to. this Sunday, I have my NFL WILD CARD GAME OF THE YEAR. Sportsfans, if you never play another NFL game again, you MUST be on this BIG GAME WINNER of the YEAR. Take New Orleans. This is my Wild Card Game of the Year. Game 108. 1:30 pm pst. New Orleans took both of this season's meetings over Carolina (SU and ATS), posting a combined, 65 points. Drew Brees has figured out the Panthers "D". The QB leads an offense that accounts for over 28.0 PPG, equally strong in the air as well as on the ground. But it will be in the air here that the Saints offense will soar. Cam Newton has no passing attack to speak of and the fact that he is the team's leading rusher is a scary, scary, scary fact. New Orleans is 6-0 ATS the K6 meetings in this series, 4-0 ATS their L4 games played in the month of January, 13-4 ATS their L17 games vs. the NFC South, and 5-2 ATS their L7 games played at home. Take the Saints. Thank you. |

01-07-18 | Bills v. Jaguars OVER 39 | 3-10 | Loss | -110 | 93 h 33 m | Show | |
Take Buffalo/Jacksonville OVER. This is my AFC TOTAL OF THE YEAR. Games 105-106. 10:00 am pst. These two teams have played to 5 consecutive OVERS. (as of print) Le Sean McCoy is listed as questionable. But Tyrod Taylor and Mike Tolbert will move the chains (if Murray doesn't go) on the ground against a weak, Jacksonville run defense. I understand the Jaguars have the top pass defense in the NFL, however, their secondary has sprung some leaks and will have problems with the dual-threat QB. Jacksonville has the #1 ground attack in the NFL and Blake Bortles has tallied 3687 YP as both combined for 26.1 PPG. The Buffalo "D" ranks in the bottom third both vs. the run and the pass. The OVER is 6-2 in the Bills L8 games played in January, 9-4 in the Bills L13 vs. teams with a winning record, 4-1-1 in the Jaguars L6 Playoff games, and 10-4 in the Jaguars L14 games played at home. Take the OVER. Thank you. |

01-06-18 | Western Kentucky v. Marshall | 112-87 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 43 m | Show | |
Take Marshall. This is my CONSENSUS PLAY. Game 626. 4:00 pm pst. Marshall has taken the L4 in this series, both SU and ATS and enters this contest riding a 4-game cover streak. The Thundering Herd ranks 9th nationally, averaging 88.2 PPG, led by the backcourt tandem of Elmore and Burks (23.5 PPG/20.1 PPG). The duo will control the tempo over the Hilltoppers top-scorers, Guards, Thompson and Hollingsworth (14.0 PPG/13.8 PPG). Marshall is better from the FT line and has almost double the amount of active players to rotate. The Home Team is 7-2 ATS the L9 meetings in this series. The Thundering Herd are 6-2 ATS their L8 games played at home, 5-1 ATS their L6 games played vs. Conference USA foes, and 4-0 ATS their L4 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Marshall. Thank you. |

01-06-18 | Titans v. Chiefs -8.5 | 22-21 | Loss | -105 | 72 h 5 m | Show | |
Take Kansas City. This is my SKY'S THE LIMIT play. Game 102. 1:30 pm pst. Andy Reid rested most of his starters LW and brings in a team that has won and covered 4 straight. Tennessee finished the season 1-3 SU and really didn't face the toughest competition (Arizona, San Francisco, Carolina, and Jacksonville). Not only are the Chiefs a better team that happens to be striding, but the well-balanced offense (7th pass/9th run) will shred a Titans secondary that ranks 25th against the pass. Offensively, Tennessee's only weapon is DeMarco Murray, who (as of print) is most-likely sitting this game out. The Titans are 8-20 ATS their L28 games played on the road, 2-5-1 ATS their L8 games played in the month of January, and 14-38-4 ATS their L56 games vs. AFC opponents. The Chiefs are 4-1 ATS their L5 games played at home, 8-2 ATS their L10 games played following an ATS win, and 4-0 ATS their L4 games vs. AFC foes. Take Kansas City. Thank you. |

01-06-18 | Pittsburgh v. Virginia Tech -16.5 | 67-81 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 49 m | Show | |
Take Virginia Tech. This is my DOMINATOR. Game 530. 9:00 am pst. Virginia Tech comes into this game pissed-off after suffering their worst series loss by archrival, Virginia, since 1955. That game was also the Hokies first home loss of the season. They are 9-1 SU and 5-1 ATS, outscoring visitors 89.6-66.3. Pitt comes off 2 DD drubbings, a 14-pt loss to Miami, and a 26-pt loss to Louisville, both no covers. The Panthers are sorely missing Forward, Ryan Luther (foot) at both ends of the court. They are posting a dismal, 67.5 PPG offensively and have no one to contest on the boards here. Pitt is 0-7 ATS their L7 vs. ACC foes and 1-6 ATS their L7 on the road. V Tech is 8-3-1 ATS their L12 vs. ACC opponents and 24-8-1 ATS their L33 at home. Take the Hokies. Thank you. |

01-05-18 | Jazz v. Nuggets -6.5 | 91-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Take Denver. This is my NW GOW. Game 614. 6:05 pm pst. Utah is a totally different team at home as opposed to road play. The Jazz are13-7 both SU and ATS at home but just 3-15 SU and 6-12 as a guest. The visitor has not covered a Jazz-Nugget game since 2014-2015 season. Denver is 13-4 SU at home, going 10-7 ATS. The Nuggets have too much firepower here, averaging over 112.4 PPG at the Pepsi Center while the Jazz post a lowly, 99.3 PPG away from home. Denver also possesses more, and much better rebounders. The Home Team is 7-0 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. The Favorite is 12-2 ATS the L14 meetings. The Jazz are 0-4 ATS their L4 games played on the road, 0-4 ATS their L4 games played vs. Western Conference foes, and 1-5 ATS their L6 games played on 1days rest. The Nuggets are 8-3 ATS their L11 games played at home, 5-0 ATS their L5 games played vs. Western Conference opponents, and 5-1 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take Denver. Thank you. |

Take North Texas. This is my CONFERENCE USA GOM. Game 538. 5:00 pm pst. UNT (9-6 overall) is 6-1 SU at home and 2-0 in Conference play while Charlotte (4-8 overall) is just 1-5 SU on the road and 0-1 in Conference play. The Mean Green have played some great basketball against higher-class foes and step down in class here today. The team has 5 DD scorers and possess the much better back court of Smart and Woolridge. The 49ers are all about their Guards and fall short of talent in this matchup. The Home Team is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Charlotte is 7-20 ATS their L27 games played on the road, 4-9 ATS their L13 games played vs. Conference USA opponents, and 2-7 ATS their L9 games played overall. Take North Texas. Thank you. |

01-04-18 | Warriors -4 v. Rockets | 124-114 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Take Golden State. This is my BEST BET. Game 501. 5:05 pm pst. After riding a 5-game SU skid, Houston won their L2 over the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic, who are a combined, 23-53. The Rockets are crushing bettors, going just 1-6 ATS their L7. With James Harden out and Chris Paul not yet 100%, the team is struggling, particularly on the defensive end. Golden State lost an opening-season contest to Houston, in Oakland, 122-121. The Warriors have had this game circled since the October 17th defeat. The team took it easy their L2 outings (both wins) knowing they can get their revenge over a "most-likely" post-season opponent. The Rockets are 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. the Western Conference, 1-4 ATS their L5 at home, and 1-6 ATS their L7 on 0 days rest. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

01-03-18 | Virginia v. Virginia Tech +2.5 | 78-52 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
Take Virginia Tech. This is my SLAM DUNK. Game 772. 6:00 pm pst. Virginia Tech is averaging over 88.8 PPG on 53.2% shooting from the floor (ranked #1) and 42.7% beyond the arc (6th). The Hokies are 9-0 SU at home and 5-0 ATS and have covered their L4 vs. the Cavaliers at Cassell Coliseum. While Virginia leads the nation in defense (52.8 PPG allowed) the team lacks the offensive punch to match up with V tech. The Hokies have 5 DD scoring starters and a slight edge on the boards as well. Virginia Tech is 8-2-1 ATS their L11 vs. the ACC, 24-7-1 ATS their L32 at home, and 39-18-1 ATS their L58 overall. Take the Hokies. Thank you. |

01-03-18 | Miami-FL -6 v. Georgia Tech | 54-64 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
Take Miami. This is my LVSM. 6:00 pm pst. With a 12-1 overall record, including a 4-0 away mark, Miami is winning with defense. The Hurricanes rank 2nd nationally, yielding just 58.5 PPG. Georgia Tech, at 6-7, has won just 2 of their L8 and those were against FAMU and Coppin State. The Yellow Jackets have played some "less than stellar" opponents, yet are still eking out a mere, 66.5 PPG. The Road Team is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Miami is 4-0 ATS the L4 games played at Georgia Tech, 4-0 ATS Their L4 games played on the road, and 6-1 ATS their L7 games played following a SU win. Take the Hurricanes. Thank you. |

01-03-18 | Ole Miss v. Georgia -3.5 | 60-71 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Take Georgia. This is my POWERHOUSE PLAY. Game 728. 3:30 pm pst. Georgia has covered 6 in a row in this series, 8 of the L11 in Athens, and 17 of the L22 overall. The Bulldogs took the Wildcats to the hilt, in a 66-61 loss and cover on Sunday to give the team 3 straight covers, against Georgia Tech, Temple, and of course, Kentucky. Mississippi has also covered 3 in a row, but against AMCC, Bradley, and South Carolina. The Rebels are stepping up in class here. Oh BTW, prior to their current 3 game cover streak, Ole' Miss failed to cover 8 straight this campaign. Georgia has the defense (67.3 PPG allowed) and are far superior on the glass at both ends. I don't see Mississippi getting too many 2nd chance shots. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you. |

01-02-18 | Michigan v. Iowa +2 | 75-68 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
Take Iowa. This is my SHOCKER. Game 522. 4:00 pm pst. Iowa has dominated Michigan, taking the L5 meetings in a row, both SU and ATS. The Hawkeyes enter tonight's matchup with a 7-1 SU record (2-0-1 ATS) and outscoring visitors, 89.4 0 67.1. The Wolverines are 1-2 on the road both SU and ATS. Iowa has 4 DD scorers, with a loaded and more physical front court. Expect a lot of activity in the paint, which also benefits the Hawkeyes as the Wolverines are just 62.5% from the FT line. The Home Team is 12-4 ATS the L16 meetings in this series. Take Iowa. Thank you. |

01-01-18 | Alabama v. Clemson +3 | 24-6 | Loss | -100 | 34 h 46 m | Show | |
Take Clemson. This is my HR. Game 274. 5:45 pm pst. If any HC and any team has no fear of Alabama, it is Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers. The Tigers have speed, speed, and more speed to go along with unlimited talent at all positions. Offensively, the team is more well-balanced. Everyone knows that the Crimson Tide owns he #1 defense, giving up 11.5 PPG. But, the Tigers are #2, allowing just 12.8 PPG. Their fast and ferocious LB corps will get to soph QB, Jalen Hurts. Clemson is riding both a 6-game SU and 4-game ATS streaks. Alabama comes off a SU loss and has only covered 2 of their L7. The fact that Clemson has covered the L2 meetings (2016 and 2017) and won LY's National Championship and comes in here an underdog has to further motivate the team. The Crimson Tide is 0-4 ATS their L4 in January, 3-14 ATS their L17 following a SU loss, and 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. teams with a winning record. The Tigers are 7-0 ATS their L7 Bowls, 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. the SEC, and 10-1 ATS their L11 on neutral sites. Take Clemson. Thank you. |

01-01-18 | LSU -3 v. Notre Dame | 17-21 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 51 m | Show | |
Take LSU. This is my CRUSHER. Game 269. 10:00 am pst. This matchup is all about the "defense". Something that LSU is far superior. The Tigers are a Top-20 "D" in every major category, allowing just 18.8 PPG. They face an Irish offense that is all about the ground game. But, the Tigers are used to facing solid ground attacks, playing in the SEC, and yielding just 126.4 YPG to the run. Having such a good rush defense, allows LSU to go after a very shaky, Brandon Wimbush with a "D" that tallied 35 sacks and allowed just 53% completions. The Tigers are well-balanced offensively and match up well as the Irish "D" has gotten burned for 37 or more points in 3 of their L4, as teams exploited their weaknesses. BTW, Notre Dame has failed to cover 4 straight, is 1-4 ATS their L5 Bowls, and 0-4 ATS their L4 non-Conference games. While, the Tigers are 6-0 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take LSU. Thank you. |

01-01-18 | South Carolina v. Michigan UNDER 43 | 26-19 | Loss | -115 | 25 h 57 m | Show | |
Take the UNDER in the South Carolina/Michigan Outback Bowl. Game 265-266. 9:00 am pst. Neither team is known for a fast-tempo, high-scoring offense. South Carolina averages just 24.1 PPG with the 80th ranked run and 108th ranked pass units. Michigan accounts for 25.8 PPG and owns one of the poorest passing squads in the nation, ranking 111th. They are known as a running team. But, the Gamecocks counter with one of the strongest run defenses and an overall "D" that allows just 20.8 PPG (25th). The Wolverines have one of the stingiest stop-units in college football, ranking #1 vs. the pass and 20th vs. the run, yielding a mere, 18.2 PPG (12th). With 2 solid defenses, smart coaches, and both lacking explosive offenses, I look for the contest to go UNDER the Total. The UNDER is 2-1 in Michigan's L3 and 8-3 in South Carolina's L11 overall. Take the UNDER. Thank you. |

12-31-17 | Hornets v. Clippers -2.5 | 98-106 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Take LAC. This is my NBA GOM. Game 814. 4:05 pm pst. After a huge, 110-100 victory over Golden State, Charlotte is due for a letdown here. Especially, since the Hornets haven't won consecutive games since November 22nd. Los Angeles has been a consistent moneymaker in December, going 10-2-1 ATS their L13 this month. Blake Griffen is back in the lineup and the backcourt has returned to full strength. Not like the first meeting back in mid-November, when the Clippers had numerous injuries at the Guard position, allowing Kemba Walker to go uncontested. Prior to that loss, LA took 6 in a row and 8 of the L9 over Charlotte. The Clippers are 11-5 ATS their L16 vs. the Hornets, 4-0 ATS their L4 at home, 6-0 ATS their L6 vs. the Eastern Conference, and 9-1-1 ATS their L11 overall. Take Los Angeles. Thank you. |

12-31-17 | Saints -5 v. Bucs | 24-31 | Loss | -108 | 22 h 45 m | Show | |
Take NO. This is my BB. Game 307. 1:25 pm pst. New Orleans can sew up the NFC South with a win here and risk a WC situation if they don't as they face a 4-11 Tampa Bay squad. The Buccaneers are riding a 6-game losing streak. Drew Brees heads up the 5th ranked passing and rushing units, resulting in 28.3 PPG (4th) and face the League's worst pass defense. New Orleans is 13-4 ATS their L17 games played on the road, 13-3 ATS their L16 games vs. the NFC South, and 9-4 ATS their L13 games played overall. Take the Saints. Thank you. |

12-31-17 | Raiders v. Chargers -7 | 10-30 | Win | 105 | 22 h 39 m | Show | |
Take LAC. This is my AFC WEST GOM. Game 326. 1:25 pm pst. Los Angeles need a win here along with some help to capture an AFC WC spot. The Chargers L6 victories all came by 7 or more points and average an overall, 25.0 PPG at home TY. Philip Rivers (4128 YP, 61.7% CR, and 25/10) brings the #3 ranked passing unit against the 21st ranked pass defense, consisting of one of the worst secondary's (2 INT's). The raiders once-dangerous passing attacks has fallen flat and must go up against the 3rd ranked pass "D" in the NFL. Oakland is 2-6-1 ATS their L9 games played vs. AFC opponents, 1-4-1 ATS their L6 games played on the road, and 3-8-2 ATS their L13 games played overall. Take LA. Thank you. |

12-30-17 | Wisconsin -6 v. Miami-FL | 34-24 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Take Wisconsin. This is my CRUSHER. Game 263. 5:00 pm pst. There is a HUGE mismatch in the trenches here. Wisconsin owns the far superior OL and DL. Don't kid yourself, football is won in the trenches. One of the stories this week was that Miami is #1 in the country in TO margin. Well, Wiscy is #2. The Badgers "D" will get to an over-rated Mike Rosier, who has trouble when under pressure. Bigger, stronger linemen, a better RB, and a ton more playmakers. That's what Wisconsin has. The Badgers are 10-1 ATS their L11 on the road, 4-0 ATS their L4 following an ATS loss, 4-1 ATS their L5 overall. The Hurricanes are 1-5 ATS their L6 Bowls, 1-4 ATS their L5 vs. the Big Ten, and 2-6 ATS their L8 overall. Take Wisconsin. Thank you. |

12-30-17 | Spurs -4.5 v. Pistons | 79-93 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Take San Antonio. This is my SLAM DUNK. Game 505. 4:05 pm pst. San Antonio is 100% healthy. Kawhi Leonard is putting in 19 MPG an adding 12.6 PPG since returning while the front court of Aldridge and Gasol are clicking. Reggie Jackson is out for Detroit, who has dropped 6 in a row SU to San Antonio, failing to cover 5 of those L6. The Spurs have won and covered 3 in a row and 5 of their L6 coming into this matchup. They are also 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. Eastern Conference opponents, and 8-0-1 ATS their L9 on 1 days rest. The Pistons are 1-4 ATS their L5 at home and 1-5 ATS their L6 on 1 days rest. Take San Antonio. Thank you. |

12-30-17 | Heat -1.5 v. Magic | 117-111 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Take Miami. This is my SE GOW. Game 503. 4:05 pm pst. Orlando lost Vucevic (hand), who is a team leader in several categories while Forward's, Fournier and Gordon are banged-up, but listed as questionable. Miami comes in with a better "D" and a healthier crew of big men. The Heat are 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. the NBA South East and 4-1 ATS their L5 on the road. The Magic are 0-6 ATS their L6 vs. the NBA South East and 5-16-1 ATS their L22 overall. Take Miami. Thank you. |

12-30-17 | Louisville -7 v. Mississippi State | 27-31 | Loss | -104 | 3 h 47 m | Show | |
Take Louisville. This is my NO LIMIT. Game 257. 9:00 am pst. With their incredibly well-balanced offense, Louisville can put up points on any team in the nation. Mississippi State didn't just lose a QB in the Egg Bowl, they lost their top offensive weapon. Nick Fitzgerald accounted for 1782 YP and 984 YR, with 29 TD's. He kept defenses on the field and allowed RB, Williams to succeed on the ground. The over-worked Bulldogs "D" only face 1 dual-threat QB themselves. Crimson Tide play-caller, Huts tallied nearly 300 yards and now must face the electricity that is Lamar Jackson. The Cards are 4-1 ATS their L5 overall while the Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS their L5 vs. the ACC. Take Louisville. Thank you. |

12-29-17 | USC v. Ohio State -7.5 | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 50 h 44 m | Show | |
Take Ohio State. this is my Mismatch GOY. Game 256. 5:30 pm pst. Talk about a MISMATCH. the most over rated QB since Johnny Manziel, Sam Darnold, goes up against Urban Meyer and the "Institution" known as Ohio State. The only other time USC was an underdog this season, was a 49-14, shellacking to an over rated, Notre Dame team. Well, in comes JT Barrett and an OSU squad that ousted every team they faced outside of an early September loss to Oklahoma and a surprise shocker to Iowa, December 4th. a mediocre, Trojans "D" must face the 5th ranked offensive "juggernaut" of the Buckeyes, posting 42.8 PPG. USC is 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. Big Ten foes, 1-4 ATS their L5 Bowl games, and 2-8-1 ATS their L?8 overall. OSU is 10-2-1 ATS their L13 vs. PAC 12 opponents, 6-1 ATS their L7 neutral site contests, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played on Friday. Take the Buckeyes. Thank you. |

12-29-17 | Kentucky v. Northwestern -7.5 | 23-24 | Loss | -105 | 46 h 56 m | Show | |
Take Northwestern. This is my NCAAF ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE GOY. Game 252. 1:30 pm pst. This is a true mismatch. Just because Kentucky is an SEC representative, they are getting too much credit by oddsmakers as this line should be closer to a -12 in favor of NW. Northwestern is 9-3 both SU and ATS, with victories over such notables as Maryland, Iowa, MSU, Nebraska, Purdue, and Minnesota , during that stretch. the Northwestern Wildcats are equally balanced offensively, while possessing one of the toughest defenses in the nation, allowing just 19.8 PPG. The Kentucky Wildcats can't pass, nor can they stop the pass. The team is a dismal, 1-7 ATS their L8, while their defense has gotten thrashed for 34 or more points in 5 of their L7. Kentucky is 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. teams with a winning record, 1-3-1 ATS their L5 Bowl games, and 0-5 ATS their L5 non-Conference games. Northwestern is 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. teams with a winning record, 5-1 ATS their L6 vs. teams with a winning record, 5-2 ATS their L7 Bowl games, and 16-5 ATS their L21 overall. Take Northwestern. Thank you. |

12-28-17 | Michigan State v. Washington State | 42-17 | Win | 100 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
Take Michigan State. This is my HOLIDAY BOWL WINNER. Game 277. 6:00 pm pst. MSU's 3 losses were against Notre Dame, Big Ten Champ, Ohio State, and Northwestern in OT. The Spartan defense is outstanding, ranking 5th nationally vs. the run, yielding just 101.3 YPG on the ground overall, and 37th vs. the pass, and allowing only 20.2 PPG. The Cougars offense is all about the pass and virtually nothing on the ground, averaging 71.1 YPG on the run. This "one-sided" offense will allow the Sparta1ns "D" to key on the passing unit. Mark Dantonio has his squad prepped and ready for QB, Luke Falk. The Cougars defense, despite respectable numbers, is very inconsistent, allowing opponents to post an average of 32.2 PPG, over their L4 outings. The very, well-balanced offense of Michigan State will exploit the cracks in Washington State "D". The Cougars are 1-5 ATS their L6 vs. Big Ten foes while the Spartans are 4-0 ATS their L4 Bowl games. Take Michigan State. Thank you. |

12-27-17 | Grizzlies v. Lakers -2.5 | 109-99 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Take Los Angeles. This is my ABOVE THE RIM PLAY. Game 718. 7:35 pm pst. Los Angeles has won and covered the L3 meetings in the L3 meetings in this series, including a 107-102 victory back on November 5th and have too much offense for Memphis. The 29th ranked Grizzlies "O" averages a mere, 97.1 PPG, while the team hasn't covered a game in 2 weeks. They are 2-6 ATS their L8 games played on 0 days rest, 0-4-4 ATS their L5vs. the NBA Pacific, and 6-20-2 ATS their L28 overall. The Lakers are 7-1 ATS their L8 games played on 2 days rest, 5-2 ATS their L7 vs. the NBA South West, and 7-3 ATS their L10 home games vs. teams with a losing road record. Take Los Angeles. Thank you. |

12-27-17 | Missouri -2.5 v. Texas | 16-33 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
Take Missouri. This is my TEXAS BOWL WINNER. Game 239. 6:00 pm pst. Missouri has rattled off 6 straight victories, moreover, the Tigers have covered 7 of their L8. Texas is known for their defense, however, they rank 108th vs. the pass and are now without CB, Hill (suspended) and S, Elliott (NFL draft). Drew Lock and the 13th ranked passing unit will exploit the UT secondary. Offensively, QB, Ehlinger is going to sorely miss LT, Williams (NFL Draft), who protects his blindside. Take Missouri. Thank you. |

12-27-17 | Knicks v. Bulls -2 | 87-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Take Chicago. This is my SLAM DUNK. Game 710. 5;05 pm pst. New York is not the same team on the road as they are at home as the Knicks are just 2-10 SU and 4-8 ATS as a visitor. Chicago enters this contest winning 8 of their L10 SU and going 10-1 ATS their L11, including 5 consecutive wins and covers at the United Center. The Bulls took the only meeting over the Knicks this season, a 104-102 win and cover back on December 9th. Chicago is 6-1 ATS their L7 vs. teams with a winning record, 20-8 ATS their L28 vs. Eastern Conference opponents, and 12-3-1 ATS their L16 overall. Take the Bulls. Thank you. |

12-27-17 | Boston College +3 v. Iowa | 20-27 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Take Boston College. This is my PINSTRIPE BOWL WINNER. Game 237. 2:15 pm pst. The last time Boston College failed to cover a game was mid-September. With 9 ATS covers, the Eagles are money. Prior to their final 2 games of the season (both wins and covers), Boston College faced 10 consecutive Bowl teams, with outright victories over Louisville, Virginia, and Florida State. Iowa might be getting a little too much credit by oddsmakers as a Big Ten representative. Many feel the Conference is over rated this season. Even with that, the Hawkeyes finished the campaign with a 4-5 SU and 3-6 ATS record to close the season. They have a subpar offense and with BC's ground game of Dillon and Hilliman (2054 YR and 18 TD's combined) controlling the TOP and the tempo, I'll take a FG with the Eagles. The Hawkeyes are 11-4 ATS their L5 Bowls games, 1-4 ATS their L6 non-Conference games, and 0-5 ATS their L5 games following an ATS win. The Eagles are 4-0-1 ATS their L5 games vs. teams with a winning record, 8-3-1 ATS their L12 non-Conference games, and 8-0-1 ATS their L9 games following an ATS win. Take Boston College. Thank you. |
