02-18-23 | Rutgers +1.5 v. Wisconsin | 58-57 | Win | 100 | 3 h 32 m | Show | |
Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Game 613. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. Wisconsin comes in here off a big emotional win over Michigan on Valentine’s Day. They are going to attempt to do something they haven’t done yet in the New Year. And that is to win back-to-back games. The last time the Badgers won consecutive outings was December 30/January 3. They are facing a Scarlet Knights team that on both sides of the court, outclasses them. Rutgers averages 5.2-points per game more and allows 3.4-points per game less. As a matter of fact, it is their defense here that will earn them a big victory. The Scarlet Knights rank in the top-10 in both points allowed and field-goal percentage allowed (39.0%). I understand they are on a three-game slide, both straight up and against the spread. But this is the perfect opponent to face coming into this matchup in a huge “letdown” situation. Wisconsin is just 1-7 ATS the last eight games played at home 1-8 ATS the last nine games played versus teams with a winning percentage above .600, and 3-12 ATS the last 15 games played overall. Take Rutgers. Thank you. |

02-16-23 | Ohio State v. Iowa -8 | 75-92 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
Iowa Hawkeyes. HR play. Game 818. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Boy has Ohio State slipped. The Buckeyes have lost nine of the last 10, both straight up and against the spread, including a six-game cold streak. They face a red-hot Hawkeyes squad, riding a 4-1 straight up win streak. Ohio State has been just awful. Particularly on the road where they own a dismal 1-7 straight up record, failing to cover their last six as a visitor. With less than a month in the regular season, Iowa is currently tied for fourth place in the Big Ten. If they’re going to make a move, they must make a move right now. And what better team to face to achieve their goal than Ohio State. Granted, the Buckeyes own a pretty decent defense, but offensively they are absolutely horrible and cannot keep pace on the scoreboard with a 22nd ranked Hawkeye‘s “O“. The favorite has covered seven of the last 10 meetings in this rivalry. Take Iowa. Thank you. |

02-16-23 | Wizards +3.5 v. Wolves | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Washington Wizards. LVSM. Game 577. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. Washington is starting to heat up, winning and covering three of the last four outings. They come into tonight’s match up with confidence, knowing they have taken the last six meetings against Minnesota, both straight up and against the spread. This includes a late November 142-127 victory at home. They face a Timberwolves team which has been very predictable. Over the last nearly three weeks, they have alternated wins and losses. Well folks, their last game they had a win on the road at the Mavericks. Their defense has gotten plowed. And their offense is going to have some trouble against the frustrating Wizards “D.” On both sides of the court, Washington is far better on the boards. I look for them to get quite a few second chance shots offensively. And to pull down any second chance opportunities for Minnesota. The Wizards have covered the last five meetings at the Timberwolves, six of the last eight overall on the road, and nine of the last 13 overall outings. Take Washington. Thank you. |

02-16-23 | Purdue v. Maryland +2 | Top | 54-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
Maryland Terrapins. Big Ten Game of the Month. Game 750. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST. There is no question Purdue is a very good team. However, they’re starting to show cracks. They have dropped two of their last three, both straight up and against the spread at Indiana and at Northwestern. Now they go on the road and play a Maryland team which is owns a very respectable 13-1 record at home this season. Maryland has been a thorn in the side of Purdue when it comes to ATS. They have covered seven of the last eight meetings for us bettors. And if you look at the past several meetings, they have been decided by three, one, one, and three-points. They play this team very tough. As a matter fact, the Terrapins are playing some pretty good basketball themselves, winning five for the last six straight up and seven of the last 10 against the spread. Both teams are relatively healthy. And both teams match up well with one another. The big difference here is the fact the Boilermakers are starting to struggle and they are not the greatest road team. They’ve only covered one of their last five as a visitor. By the way folks, Maryland has covered 16 of the last 21 at home. And the underdog has covered four straight in this rivalry. Take the Terrapins. Thank you. |

02-13-23 | Miami-FL +5.5 v. North Carolina | 80-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Now that football is in the rearview, we can focus on basketball. We start off the week with a BIG PAYDAY in my coveted NCAAB HIGH ROLLER release. My HR plays are on an impressive 36-17 run. These are normally reserved for my personal clients that can be the minimum of $10,000 a game. Miami Florida Hurricanes. High Roller play. Game 867. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Don’t look now, but Miami is just a game behind the conferences co-leaders, Virginia and Pittsburgh. That’s right, the Hurricanes are in second place in the ACC at 11-4 in league play en route to an overall mark of 20-5. This team that’s playing very good basketball folks. They have won four in a row straight up, covering three of those four. And they enter tonights matchup with a very dangerous offense, accounting for over 79-points per game. They face a North Carolina squad that is sitting in the middle of the pack in the conference at 8-6, owning an overall record of 16-9. They do have a very impressive 11-1 mark at home. However, this team has been seriously overvalued. They have covered just once over the last five outings. As I mentioned earlier, they are pretty darn good at home straight up. But over the last six games playing host, they went 3-3 ATS. I see a serious mismatch here as their defense is allowing over 72.2-points per game and over 43.6% from the floor. This does not bode well as Miami hits nearly 50% from the floor. The Hurricanes are also 21–6 ATS the last 27 road games. Take Miami. Thank you. |

02-11-23 | Clemson +7 v. North Carolina | 71-91 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Clemson Tigers. ACC Game of the Week. Game 647. 11 AM PST/2 PM EST. Tied with Virginia and Pittsburgh for the top-spot in the ACC at 10-3, Clemson travels to the Dean E. Smith Center today to take on North Carolina. The Tigers have had a full week to muster back-to-back losses and prepare for the matchup today with the Tar Heels. With less than a month to play in the regular season, Clemson needs a victory here for sure. They have covered five consecutive meetings with UNC going back to 2018. This is a squad playing at full strength, having no players listed on their injury report. They possess one of the most frustrating defenses in the conference, allowing just 67.1-points per game, allowing only 32.3% from beyond the arc, and a mere 39.7% overall from the floor. I look for this to be a very physical matchup, which will also benefit the Tigers as they own the second-ranked free-throw shooting team in the nation. hitting over 80.3% from the line. North Carolina is struggling badly at the moment. They have lost three in a row straight up, failing to cover their last four. By the way, they’ve only covered three of their last 16 versus teams with the winning percentage above .600. Take the Tigers. Thank you. |

02-11-23 | Providence -5 v. St. John's | 68-73 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 7 m | Show | |
Providence Friars. Big East Blockbuster. Game 603. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. With less than a month left in the regular season, the Big East has four teams vying for the top-spot. One of those teams, tied for second place, is Providence at 10-3 in league play. Overall, this team has played some outstanding basketball. They enter tonights matchup with momentum and confidence. The Friars have won four of the last, five both straight up and against the spread. And have dominated the Red Storm, taking the last three meetings going back a year. This does include an 83-80 win at home, approximately five weeks ago. Speaking of St. John’s, they are one of the worst teams in the conference at 4-10 in Big East action. Overall, they own a respectable 14-11 record. But this team has really struggled. Since mid-January, they have taken just one of the last six outings straight up, failing to cover all six. This team has become absolute point spread poison. On both sides of the court, they are outclassed. The Friars average over 78.4-points per game and are monsters on the offensive glass. They face a doormat of a defense in SJU. Granted, the Red Storm can score as well. But they’re playing a very tough, very frustrating Providence “D“. The road team has covered 10 of the last 14 meetings in this series. The Friars have covered 16 of the last 21 on the road, six of the last seven road games versus teams with a winning home record, and 13 of the last 16 overall. Meanwhile, St. John’s has only covered one of the last seven games played at the Carnesecca Arena. Take Providence. Thank you. |

02-10-23 | Northern Kentucky v. Wright State -140 | 65-83 | Win | 100 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
Wright State Raiders on the money line. Horizon League Game of the Week. Game 890. 6 PM PST/9 PM EST. Northern Kentucky owns both a better conference and overall records at this point than Wright State. And yes, they took the first meeting at the end of December at home, 78-64. However, the Norse has begun to show cracks, dropping two of their last three, both straight up and against the spread. Meanwhile, the Raiders have begun to stride, taking four of their last five straight up and all five against the spread. There is no questioning Wright States superior offense here. They rank 18th in the nation in scoring, averaging over 81.3-points per game, fourth in field-goal percentage, hitting exactly 50.0% from the floor, and are pretty darn good from downtown as well, hitting just shy of 35% beyond the arc. These are all places Northern Kentucky has issues defensively. The Norse also lose a little luster when they travel, covering just two of their last eight road games. This doesn’t bode well for them in this situation as the home team has covered five of the last six meetings in this rivalry. Take the Raiders. Thank you. |

02-10-23 | New Mexico -6 v. Air Force | Top | 77-89 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
New Mexico Lobos. HIGH ROLLER Game of the Month. Game 891. 8:00 PM PST/11:00 PM EST. The Lobos finished 2022 as the last remaining unbeaten team in college basketball. Since the New Year began, they slid a bit splitting out their last 10 games. They are a respectable 19-5 overall, which includes a 6-5 mark in the Mountain West Conference. This team needs to get back on track right now if they’re going to make a run at the Big Dance. And what better opponent to face to do just that than the Falcons. They have taken three consecutive meetings over their conference rival straight up, winning by an average mark of 7.6-points per game. This does include an 81-73 home victory approximately two weeks ago. Air Force is absolutely atrocious. They are just 3-9 in conference action, enroute to an overall, 12-13 record. The last several weeks, things have gone from bad to worse for the team as they are currently riding a six-game straight up a losing streak in which they have failed to cover four of those six outings. New Mexico will light up the scoreboard this evening behind their 16th ranked scoring offense, which averages over 81.8-points per game. By the way folks, a major mismatch here is their 11th ranked field goal shooting squad (which hits 49% from the floor), matching up against the nations 206th ranked field goal percentage defense. Oh, by the way guys, the Falcons average over 15.4-points per game less. And on both sides of the court, they are outclassed on the boards here as well. The road team has covered seven of the last eight meetings in this rivalry. Take the Lobos. Thank you. |

02-09-23 | Northwestern +5.5 v. Ohio State | 69-63 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Northwestern Wildcats. High Roller Play. Game 785. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. My friends, the Big 10 is wide open right now. Granted, Purdue sits atop the conference at 11-2 in league play. Then there are three teams tied for second place at 8-5 and then three more tied for third place at 7-5. One of those teams happens to be Northwestern, which have become quite bankable to us sports bettors, covering six of the last 10 overall. So far, this regular season, they’ve covered five of seven games as a true road team as well. They catch a hated rival struggling right now. Ohio State possesses the next to last poorest record in the Big Ten at 3-9 in conference action. Overall, they’re just 11-12, losing four in a row both straight up and against the spread. As a matter fact, since January 5, there are a dismal 1-9 both SU and ATS. The Buckeyes offense is basically nonexistent. And their defense is so overworked trying to compensate, come the second-half, they are getting fatigued. They have a strong frontcourt. However, they are significantly outclassed in the back court in this match up. This is also a huge revenge spot as they took down Northwestern back on New Year’s Day on the road, 73-57. By the way folks, they’ve only covered one of the last six games played versus teams with the winning percentage above .600. Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |

02-08-23 | Temple -140 v. SMU | 71-72 | Loss | -140 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
Temple Owls on the moneyline. Annihilator play. Game 723. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. Two teams at opposite ends of the AAC spectrum face one another this evening. The Owls sit in third place in the conference at 8-3, while the Mustangs are tied for next to last at 3-8 in league play. SMU is an absolutely atrocious team, no matter which way you break them down. They are just 5-7 straight up at home this season and have only covered five of the last 17 games played at the Moody Coliseum. In the last four-plus weeks, this team has only covered one game of the 10 contests played in that span. They are absolute point spread poison. Going up against Temple tonight is going to prove to be fatal for them, as the Owls come off an embarrassing 81-65 defeat at home against the Cougars, snapping a four-game win streak. They are going to come in here angry and looking for a little vengeance. They’ve also covered six consecutive games played on the road. Take Temple. Thank you. |

02-08-23 | Hofstra -6.5 v. Northeastern | 72-53 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Hofstra Pride. High Roller play. Game 659. 3:00 PM PST/6:00 PM EST. Tied for first place in the conference, Hofstra is playing some great basketball. They have won five straight en route to a 10-2 league record, and an overall mark of 17-8. Since the New Year began, this team has been money, covering nine out of 10 contests in 2023. This is a team, that on both sides of the court, that is far superior than their opponent this evening. Offensively, they ranked 26th in the nation, hitting 48% overall from the floor, and 46th in college basketball, hitting 37% from beyond the arc. This does not bode well as they face a Northeastern defense that possesses some of the ugliest defensive numbers in those categories. Not only that, but the Pride also own a very nasty and frustrating defense. While both teams are healthy, Hofstra has three starting guards, each averaging double-digits, and by far the best player on the floor in Aaron Estrada (21.6 PPG/5.5 RPG). The Huskies have failed to cover the last five games played at home and 29 of the last 43 games played overall. Hofstra has covered five of the last six games played on the road and five consecutive outings against teams with a straight up losing record. Take the Pride. Thank you. |

02-07-23 | San Jose State +3.5 v. Fresno State | 62-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
San Jose State Spartans. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 651. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. In all sincerity folks, I feel the wrong team is favored here. The Bulldogs haven’t won back-to-back games since the New Year began. They were also downed by the Spartans approximately one month ago on the road, 74-64. They possess a very lackluster offense that I feel will once again be completely shut down here tonight. In the first matchup, they were out rebounding, 33-22. I doubt very much that will change here this evening. They will not have the opportunity for too many second chance shots. Meanwhile, San Jose State will, owning the far superior boardsmen. To me that would be the major difference in this matchup. The Bulldogs are just 4-12 ATS the last 16 games played at home. Meanwhile, the Spartans are 12-4 ATS the last 16 games played on the road. Take San Jose State. Thank you. |

02-07-23 | Rutgers +5 v. Indiana | 60-66 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Best Bet play. Game 601. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST. Indiana comes in to this matchup tonight following Saturday’s victory over No. 1 Purdue. The Hoosiers are playing good basketball, there’s no question about that. But I feel in this situation they are due for a major letdown coming off the victory over the Boilermakers and also looking ahead to the next game against the Wolverines. The Scarlet Knights enter this matchup playing some great basketball as well. They have won and covered the last two outings with authority over the Golden Gophers and the Spartans. Rutgers took down Indiana in the first meeting, back at the beginning of December at home, 63-48. That gave them their sixth consecutive win and cover over their conference rival. While Indiana is playing some very good basketball, I just don’t feel anything will change in this outcome against one of the most frustrating and nastiest defenses in college basketball, which ranks fifth in points allowed and fourth in field-goal percentage allowed. They have also covered nine of the last 10 versus teams with a winning percentage above .600 and 10 of the last 13 games overall. Take the Scarlet Knights. Thank you. |

02-05-23 | Fordham +4.5 v. Richmond | 58-68 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
Fordham Rams. Game 829. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. Sports fans, the A-10 has some very good teams. And very quietly Fordham has become one of their best teams. The Rams sit in third place in the conference at 6-3, possessing an overall record of 18-4 on the campaign. This team is red-hot, winning five in a row, both straight up and against the spread. They face one of the poorest teams in the Atlantic 10. Richmond is towards the bottom of the barrel at 4-6 in league play, owning an overall 11-12 mark on the campaign. It’s true, they are significantly better at home than they are on the road. However, this team is definitely struggling, dropping fourth straight and six in a row against the number. As a matter fact, they are pointspread poison. They have not covered their last six attempts against teams with a winning percentage above .600. And have also failed to cover their last four games played at home inside the Robins Center. Statistically, on both ends of the court the Rams are just stronger. Quisenberry and Moore are one of the most exciting 1-2 punches in the conference. They are combining for 28.5 points per game, 10.3 rebounds per game, 4.8 assists per game, and 2.5 steals per game. I just don’t see anyone on the Spiders slowing this tandem down. Granted, Richmond does have Tyler Burton, who is a monster player. But they just don’t have the depth, nor the overall talent to compete in this one. The road team has covered nine of the last 11 meetings. Meanwhile Fordham has covered the last four on the road versus teams with the winning home record and four the last overall five games played as a visitor. Take the Rams. Thank you. |

02-04-23 | Pacific +13.5 v. BYU | 66-81 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
Pacific Tigers. Late Bailout Play. Game 789. 6:00 PM PST. Guys, we all know that BYU defeated Pacific at the end of December, 69-49. But something changed following that loss. The Tigers started to get hot and started covering. That’s right folks, they have won five of their last eight straight up, and six of those eight against the spread. Meanwhile since the New Year began, the Cougars started to struggle. They have dropped five of eight straight up, and have split out those eight against the spread. Granted BYU possesses a little stronger of a defense. But they do have one major weakness defensively. And that is defending the “3“. And guess what guys? Pacific is one of the best in the nation from downtown, hitting just shy of 39% from beyond the arc. They can keep this game very close from the perimeter folks, that is for sure. The Tigers have covered seven of their last 10 on the road, four of their last five following an ATS win, and four of their last five games played on Saturday. Take Pacific. Thank you. |

02-04-23 | Murray State +7.5 v. Indiana State | 56-99 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 9 m | Show | |
Murray State Racers. MVC Game of the Month. Game 681. 1:00 PM PST. Murray State has already taken down Indiana State a few weeks ago at home, 82-73. This is a team that’s running red-hot, winning four of their last six straight up, and five of those six against the spread. Granted, the Sycamores have won their last two straight up, and their last three ATS, but this team will hit a wall here today. I understand that on paper they possess a little stronger of an offense. But the Racers are deeper overall on both sides of the court. In addition, they possess a much bigger, much stronger, and much more talented front court. And that is where this game will be won. This is way too many points to give this team. I honestly feel that Indiana State should be maybe a one or a two-point favorite, and that is only because they are playing at home. Take the points with Murray State. Thank you. |

02-04-23 | Texas v. Kansas State +1.5 | 69-66 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
Kansas State Wildcats. ESPN TV winner. Game 700. 1:00 PM PST. These are certainly two of the best teams in the Big 12. And today, in this matchup, a share of first place is on the line. The Longhorns sit a top the Conference in first place coming into this game. But the Wildcats are one of four teams just a game back halfway through the Conference season. Kansas State devoured Texas in the first meeting, approximately one month ago on the road, 116-103. Now normally I would look to take the team seeking revenge in the matchup. However, playing Texas on the road against Kansas State at home would be a mistake. The Longhorns are 3-2 straight up away from home, while the Wildcats are a perfect 12-0 at the Bramlage Coliseum. And they certainly can’t be too thrilled about coming into this contest as an underdog in their own house. These two teams statistically match up pretty darn well. As a matter fact, on both sides of the court their numbers are very similar. But I do feel possessing the stronger front court, is going to significantly benefit K State here. The Longhorns are just 2-7 ATS their last nine games played on the road. The Wildcats are 5-0 ATS their last five games played at home. Take Kansas State. Thank you. |

02-04-23 | Miami-FL +2 v. Clemson | 78-74 | Win | 100 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
Miami-Florida Hurricanes. ACC Annihilator. Game 673. 12:00 PM PST. Guys, I am well aware of the fact Clemson owns the top spot in the Conference. I am also well aware of the fact Miami has alternated wins and losses in the New Year. But something we certainly cannot ignore, is the fact the Tigers are being overvalued, covering just three of their last seven outings. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes enter this matchup on a 7-3 ATS hot streak. They have taken the last two meetings straight up, and the last four against the spread. They certainly have the offensive prowess to dominate Clemson here, both on the boards, and on the scoreboard. This is a very healthy squad, possessing four double-digit scoring starters. By the way, Miami has covered 20 of their last 26 games played on the road. Take the Hurricanes. Thank you. |

02-04-23 | Auburn +9.5 v. Tennessee | 43-46 | Win | 100 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
Auburn Tigers. Shocker play. Game 649. 11:00 AM PST. There are three teams tied for second place in the SEC. And today, two of those teams square off. Auburn and Tennessee both sit at 7-2 and conference play (along with Texas A&M). Both teams are playing very good basketball. However, despite the Volunteers possessing one of the toughest defenses in college basketball, I just don’t see this team being this much of a favorite over a very tough and scrappy Tigers opponent. Auburn has taken six of the last seven meetings both straight up and against the spread. To be quite honest, the last two matchups were each settled by five-points. Tennessee might own a very good defense, but Auburn does too. They allow just 64.6-points per game, 39.4% shooting overall from the field, and a mere 27.8% from downtown. The underdog has covered five of the last seven meetings in this rivalry. The Tigers have covered their last four on the road. Take Auburn. Thank you. |

02-03-23 | Boise State +6 v. San Diego State | Top | 52-72 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
Boise State. Best Bet. Game 883. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. My friends, this line is way off here. This should be a Pick ‘em or at most, the Aztecs should just be maybe a one-point favorite only because they are at home. These are the two best teams in the Mountain West Conference, tied for the top-spot in the League at 8-2. Overall, the Broncos own a little bit better of a record at 18-5, while the Aztecs are 17-5. A season ago, Boise State took all three meetings over San Diego State straight up covering two of the three. Interestingly enough, all three meetings were settled by a combined seven-points. These two teams play each other very tough, my friends. Offensively, they are very similar. But defensively the Broncos are much stronger. They rank 12th in the nation yielding just 60.7-points per game. They’re also 24th in field-goal percentage allowed and fourth in three-point percentage allowed. Both teams have had a few days off to rest and prepare. However, BSU certainly comes in here hotter, winning eight of the last nine straight up and six of the last eight against the spread, while SDSU is just 4-2 their last six straight up and have only covered five of their last 10 against the number. The underdog has covered the last four meetings in this rivalry. The Broncos have covered 20 of their last 26 on the road. Meanwhile, the Aztecs have only covered four of the last 14 at home. Take Boise State. Thank you. |

02-02-23 | Pepperdine v. Pacific -125 | 72-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
Pacific on the moneyline. BB Play. Game 824. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. My friends, Pacific just took down Pepperdine approximately three weeks ago as a visitor, 80-75. Now the Waves have to face the Tigers on the road, where they have failed to win a game yet this season. Not only that, but this is a team losing 10 consecutive games straight up, only covering one of those 10. Pacific, on the other hand has started to heat up a bit. Especially to us sports bettors. Just since New Year’s Eve, they have covered three of their last five outings. It is specifically their last two contests that has impressed me. On January 21, they played a very tough game against Gonzaga as an 18.5-point underdog, losing, but covering 99-90. Then, on the road on January 28, they went on the road into Santa Clara and took down the Broncos, 95-89, as an 11.5-point underdog. As I mentioned, this team has begun to show signs of life. They’ve also covered their last four contests played at home. Oh, by the way, the home team has covered 22 of the last 28 in this rivalry. Take the Tigers. Thank you. |

02-02-23 | Lakers -125 v. Pacers | 112-111 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Lakers on the moneyline. OM play. Game 519. 4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST. In today’s NBA, it’s very difficult to rely upon anything for sure. However, one thing I know is that LeBron James and the Lakers do not take a tough loss lightly. The last time Los Angeles and Indiana squared off, the Lakers were at home and squandered a fourth-quarter, 17-point lead, only to lose 116-115 at the hands of the Pacers. That Game took place November 28th. L.A. has had more than two months to stew over that outcome. And what a time to catch Indiana. The Paces are really struggling at the moment, dropping 10 of the last 11 straight up, and nine of the last 12 against the spread. With LeBron focused on two things right now; the team to make the playoffs, and to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in career points scored, I look for him to come out fired up here tonight. The Lakers are 6-2 ATS the last eight games played on the road. Take Los Angeles. Thank you. |

02-02-23 | Michigan v. Northwestern -3 | 68-51 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Northwestern. LVSM play. Game 772. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. The Wildcats come into tonight’s contest possessing a 15-6 overall record and are tied for third in Big Ten play with a 6-4 mark. They were riding a three-game straight up and against the spread win streak prior to Tuesday night’s loss on the road at the Hawkeyes. They are in bounce ack mode here. I look for them to exact a bit of revenge here tonight as in the first meeting with the Wolverines, back in mid-January, they were downed on the road, 85-78. Now, Michigan has dominated the recent matchups, winning six in a row straight up, covering four of the six. But I think we can all agree these two teams are very different from past squads. The Wolverines are absolutely atrocious at 11-10 and sitting in sixth place in the Conference at 5-5. They’re also burning bettors on the road, failing to cover their last four as an away team. Overall, on the campaign they are just 1-4 straight up as a visitor. Oh, by the way folks, they’ve covered just once since January 4. Their once-feared defense has become a thing of the past, as they are now allowing over 70.4-points per game. The home team has covered seven of the last nine meetings in this rivalry. Take Northwestern. Thank you. |

01-31-23 | Kansas State +7 v. Kansas | Top | 78-90 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
Kansas State Wildcats. BIG 12 GOM. Game 633. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. The seventh ranked Wildcats will look to take their first regular-season sweep over the eighth ranked Jayhawks in years. They took the first meeting at home in overtime just two weeks ago, 83-82. Granted, Kansas is a pretty darn good home team. But this year‘s Jayhawks squad has started to struggle. They’ve lost three of their last four overall straight up, and five of their last six overall against the spread. As far as us bettors are concerned, K State has been money, covering eight of their last nine contests coming into tonight’s matchup. This is way too many points to give a team that has covered 35 of their last 52 on the road, 10 of their last 11 against teams with a winning record, and their last four straight overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |

01-30-23 | Iowa State v. Texas Tech | 77-80 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 1 m | Show | |
Sport fans, there is no better opponent to face to turn things around than Texas Tech, as Iowa State has struggled a bit lately. The Cyclones are currently still ranked No.12 in the nation prior to the new rankings coming out. This is a team that has dropped three of their last five games and needs to get back on track. They have also failed to cover their last three contests. They face a League rival in the Red Raiders, which has not won a single game in the Big 12 yet this season, going 0-8 in conference play. As a matter of fact, this they were riding an eight-game SU losing streak before Saturday’s win against LSU. These two met three weeks ago ago as the Cyclones took down the Red Raiders, 84-50. There is no reason to think that this outcome will be any different. ISU possesses a defense that will once again swarm and frustrate TTU defense. They rank 12th in the nation, allowing just 60.5-points per game and are one of the best on the defensive glass in college basketball today. I just don’t see the Red Raiders getting too many second-chance opportunities. Texas Tech has failed to cover the last four games played at home, 13 of their last 16 versus teams with the winning percentage of .600, and seven of the last nine overall. By the way folks, to favorite has covered eight of the last nine meetings in this rivalry. Take Iowa State. Thank you. |

01-28-23 | Miami-FL +1.5 v. Pittsburgh | 68-71 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 34 m | Show | |
Miami Hurricanes. OM PLAY. Game 693. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. With over 100+ college basketball games on the board Saturday, the oddsmakers overlooked this game and made a huge mistake. There is no way the ‘Canes should have opened up a small ‘dog against the Panthers. They have dominated in this rivalry, winning eight of the last 10 meetings straight up, covering seven of them. For starters, they are money as a visitor, riding a three-game ATS win streak, while Pitt has failed to cover their last three contests at home. The Panthers are without three top players, including their top-recruit, Johnson, and two starting forwards, Hugley and Jeffress. This is the contest, they will sorely miss those sidelined playmakers. Miami has the talent, the depth, and overall, better hustlers, which will result in more, assists, steals, blocks, and rebounds. The road team has covered the last four meetings in this series. The Hurricanes have covered 26 of their last 33 games played on the road. Take Miami. Thank you. |

Xavier Musketeers. GOM. Game 613. 9:15 AM PST/12:15 PM EST. Guys, the line is way off here as it should be closer to a pick ‘em or even maybe a -1 fav for Xavier. Atop the Big East and the No. 13 team in the nation, the Musketeers are confident, knowing they took down the Blue Jays earlier this month, 90-87, extending their dominance over their Conference rival for the fourth consecutive meeting, and for our purposes, four Ats covers in the last five matchups. Xavier devoured Creighton on the boards, 40-29. This time around, they will once again own the glass, possessing the bigger, stringer front court. Overall, they are healthier and deeper. The Musketeers have covered four of their last five on the road, 13 of their last 16 versus teams with a winning record, and six of their last eight overall. Take Xavier. Thank you. |

01-27-23 | St. Louis -125 v. Davidson | 74-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Saint Louis Billikens on the moneyline. TV Game Winner. Game 883. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. My friends, the number is way off in this matchup. Saint Louis is 2nd in the A10 at 6-1 in League play, and sports an overall record of 14-6 on the campaign, winning five straight. On the other hand, Davidson is towards the bottom of the barrel in the Conference, possessing a 3-5 League mark and an overall 10-10 record. Maybe the line is off because the Billikens are just 3-3 straight up on the road. But the Wildcats aren’t all that impressive at home, going just 5-4. Or maybe the line is a little off because Davidson has won and covered the last three meetings in this series. However, I just don’t see them keeping pace on the scoreboard with their opponents superior offense as and much stronger rebounding core. The Billikens, as I mentioned, have won five straight, covering three of the last five. And enter this matchup tonight very well-rested, having not taken the floor in six days. Now Davidson does have a couple of solid big men upfront. But without a doubt, Saint Louis has more depth and athleticism. The Billikens also have four double-digit scorers in their starting-five. The Wildcats have only covered one of their last six games played at home. Take Saint Louis. Thank you. |

01-25-23 | Hawks v. Thunder +1.5 | 137-132 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder. LVSM. Game 562. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. To put it very plainly, Atlanta is in trouble. The Hawks had won seven of the previous nine before losing at home against Charlotte when at the end of the game in which they blew a 19-point third quarter lead, head coach Nate McMillan and star guard Trae Young had an argument. Well, if they had any sort of reconciliation, then they wouldn’t have gotten downed in Chicago the following game, 111-100. This team is in a serious funk, folks. Now they travel to the Paycom Center to take on an Oklahoma City Thunder opponent which has won seven of the last nine straight up and nine in a row against the spread. The Thunder took the only other meeting with the Hawks this season, back in December on the road, 121-114. I just feel that the issues in the locker room for Atlanta are spilling over on the court. Oklahoma City has covered four straight at home, 11 of the last 14 on two days rest, and 20 of the last 27 overall. Oh, by the way, they’ve also covered 25 of the last 36 meetings in this series. Take Oklahoma City. Thank you. |

01-25-23 | Xavier +6.5 v. Connecticut | 82-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Xavier Musketeers. Big East GOW. Game 661. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST. My friends, I don’t think Xavier is too happy coming into this matchup as the top team in the Big East at 8-1 in Conference play, being a big underdog against a League rival, which is just 5-5 in Conference action. Both teams tumbled a bit in the rankings following some recent losses. However, without a doubt, the Musketeers have shown they are a lot more consistent than the Huskies. They enter this matchup winning 12 of the last 13 straight up, covering nine of the last 14 outings. On the other hand, UConn is on a 2-5 straight up run and has only covered two of the last nine outings. These two teams met on December 31st as Xavier took down Connecticut at home 83-73. While the Huskies own a very solid defense, offensively I just don’t see them keeping pace with the eighth-ranked scoring unit in the nation. That’s right, Xavier accounts for over 84.1-points per game on 50.1% shooting overall from the floor, which does include just shy of 40% from downtown. This is a team that has also covered five of the last seven on the road. This is way too many points to give the Big East’s No. 1 team. Take Xavier. Thank you. |

01-23-23 | Kansas +2.5 v. Baylor | 69-75 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
Kansas Jayhawks. Game 871. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. At first glance, you’re supposed to play Baylor here. And I mean why not, they have won four in a row straight up, and are just a half-point away from covering all four of those outings. Kansas has failed to cover their last four outings, while dropping their last two straight up. Only once a season ago did the Jayhawks drop back-to-back games, and never did they let it go past that. This is a team steeped in pride, tradition, and talent. As a matter of fact, it is the last loss that truly compels me to side with them today. They took an embarrassing, 83-60 beat down at the hands of the Horned Frogs just two nights ago at home. You know folks they are 6-0 ATS the last six games played following a double-digit loss at home and 10-0 ATS the last 10 games played following a straight up defeat of 20 or more points. They have done pretty well against this conference rival against the number, covering four of the last five meetings. On both sides of the court these two teams match up pretty well. However, I look for KU to take advantage of their superior fire power offensively, against a BU defense that has allowed opponents to hit 33.2% from downtown and an overall 43.7% from the floor. The ‘dog has covered nine of the last 13 meetings in this series, while the road team has covered 25 of the last 36 matchups. Take Kansas. Thank you. |

01-21-23 | Celtics v. Raptors | 106-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Boston Celtics on the moneyline. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 501. 2:10 PM PST/5:10 PM EST. Boston is striding, winning 12 of the last 14 straight up, covering four of the last five against the spread. Let’s face it sports fans, the Celtics are playing some great basketball. At 34-12, they possess the best overall record in the NBA. To say they have dominated the Raptors, would be an understatement. They have taken seven of the last nine both straight up and against the spread, including the only meeting this season, a December 5, 116-110 win and cover on the road. Toronto seems to be struggling, losing and failing to cover three of the last four outings. Yes, I know Jason Tatum is supposed to be sidelined this evening (check status), but the way Boston is surging right now, I don’t think it will matter. They have enough depth and talent with their second-ranked scoring offense to outgun the lackluster Toronto squad. The Celtics have covered four of the last five games played on the road. Take Boston. Thank you. |

01-21-23 | Virginia v. Wake Forest +3.5 | 76-67 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Best Bet Play. Game 652. 11:00 AM PST/2:00 PM EST. Wake Forest has done quite well in this conference rivalry, covering the last three meetings with Virginia and winning the most recent, 63-55 approximately one year ago. They enter this matchup running red-hot, winning six of their last seven both straight up and against the spread. While the Cavaliers are a good team, no denying that, they are seriously overvalued by oddsmakers. They have only covered six of their 17 outings this season thus far. And while overall they sport a very good straight up record, most of their wins have come at home where they are 9-1. When they take to the road, they are just 3-2 straight up and have failed to cover the last two as a true road team. On the other hand, the Demon Deacons are a very good home team winning all 10 of their contests at the LJV Memorial Coliseum, covering the last four as host. While the Cavaliers certainly possess a very good defense, I just don’t think they can compensate for their lack of offense against Demon Deacons “O” that accounts for just shy of 78-points per game. Virginia has covered just three of their last 13 overall. Take Wake Forest. Thank you. |

01-20-23 | Boise State +2 v. New Mexico | 79-81 | Push | 0 | 14 h 3 m | Show | |
Boise State Broncos. Best Bet. Game 895. 8:00 PM PST/11:00 EST. Sports fans, I was talking about the Broncos at the end of December and saying how you should watch out for them pretty soon because come January, they usually start to really stride. Well, since the New Year began, this team is a perfect 5-0 straight up going 4-1 against the spread. I’m not looking to take away anything from New Mexico, which has amassed a 17-2 overall record. However, since League play began, this team has dropped a couple of games and they’ve had a tough time covering. They lost on the road at Fresno State and took a bad beating at home against UNLV, both games in which they were favored. Now since those defeats, they have rattled off three consecutive wins and covers. But I will tell you playing the conferences co-leading Broncos is a whole different monster folks. This is a team that has taken four consecutive meetings straight up and going back a bit, has covered seven of the last eight against the Lobos. While New Mexico possesses the backcourt of Mashburn Jr. and House, Boise State possesses six players either averaging or flirting with double-digit scoring. Not only that, but they’ve got a slew…and I mean a slew of stellar rebounders as well. I just don’t see the home team here competing on the boards at all. This will hurt him in transition. And to be honest with you guys, they already have their hands full trying to score on the 15th ranked scoring defense in the nation. Boise State has covered 19 of the last 26 on the road. Take the points with the Broncos. Thank you. |

01-18-23 | Providence +7.5 v. Marquette | 75-83 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Providence. SD. Game 711. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Sports fans, sports betting is not about who wins, it is about who covers. I do feel Marquette is a slightly better team than Providence in this situation. Obviously, they’re playing at home and they score a few more points per game. However, the Fryers, on both sides of the court are superior on the boards. They ranked 15th in the nation on the offensive glass and 40th on the defensive glass. Not only that, but they have taken three of the last four meetings in this series straight up, including the last two. I think this is way too many points to give a very game team which has proven to us bettors that they are money, covering nine of the last 10 outings. By the way folks, they have covered the last five overall games played on the road as well. Take Providence. Thank you. |

01-18-23 | Oklahoma +2.5 v. Oklahoma State | 56-72 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Oklahoma. BIG 12 GOW. Game 713. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. There is no doubt that when it comes to conference matchups, the teams know each other very well. In this case, the Sooners and the Cowboys know each other as well as they dislike one another. However, you cannot deny the fact that Oklahoma comes in here a little hotter, winning two of the last three straight up and four of the last six against the spread, while Oklahoma State has dropped their last three in a row, both straight up and against the number. Both teams are loaded with playmakers and scorers. And both are excellent on the defensive board. The best player on the floor, OU’s Grant Sheffield shines in games like this. The guard averages 17.6-points per game, 2.9-rebounds per game, and 3.5-assists per game. By the way, this team runs primarily with three forwards and two guards or four forwards and one guard. There is going to be a lot of physicality down in the paint. And they have the edge there for sure. The Sooners have covered seven of the last nine on the road, are 5-1 ATS the last six following an ATS loss, and 12-4 ATS the last 16 following a straight up win. Take Oklahoma. Thank you. |

Cincinnati. LVSM. Game 681. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Cincinnati enters this matchup winning 10 of their last 13 outings, both straight up and against the spread. On both sides of the court, they outclass South Florida. Offensively, they’re putting up just shy of 77-points per game. And defensively, they’re allowing just 67-points per game. It is on the defensive side which will give them a big victory here tonight as when the Bulls face solid defense of opposition, they fold like a cheap suit. The Bearcats possess a starting lineup of four double-digit scorers and one player averaging 9.6-points per game. They have an outstanding backcourt that will control the tempo and the pace of this match up. By the way, South Florida has only covered 13 of their last 40 games played at home. Take Cincinnati. Thank you. |

01-18-23 | Florida v. Texas A&M -3.5 | 52-54 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
Texas A&M. SEC GOW. Game 686. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Texas A&M has dominated Florida, winning and covering three consecutive meetings, including a January 4th, 66-63 away victory. As a matter of fact, the Aggies are one of only two undefeated teams in conference play in the SEC. They’re running red-hot right now, winning six in a row straight up and covering their last five. Meanwhile, the Gators have shown signs of life since that early January loss to today’s opponent, winning three in a row straight up and covering the last two. However, folks, they were supposed to win their last three games as they came in as favorites against the Conference rivals, Georgia Bulldogs, LSU Tigers, and Missouri Tigers. Both teams matchup quite well with one another as their statistics are almost mirror images of one another. But Texas A&M certainly has a bit more talent in their starting-five and without question, some of the bigger, stronger muscle down in the paint. They are also money to us sports bettors, covering and 22 of their last 30 games played overall. Meanwhile Florida is just 4-14 ATS the last 18 games played following straight up win, 3-8 ATS the last 11 road games played versus teams with a winning home record, and 6-16 Ats the last 22 game played versus teams with a winning record. Take the Aggies. Thank you. |

It doesn’t happen often. But when it does, WE MUST MAKE THEM PAY! I have uncovered a MISTAKE made by the oddsmakers. So, I have my coveted 21-8 NCAAB ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE PLAY which are 100% in 2022/2023 season. TCU. OM. Game 691. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST My friends, for the life of me I can’t figure out how the 14-3 Horned Frogs, which bounced back after back-to-back losses for the first time this season, are an underdog against the 10-7 Mountaineers team, which has not won a game since before Christmas and has only covered once since early-December. This astounds me folks. I know the home team has covered nine of the last 11 meetings. But I think we can all agree that these teams this season are very different from recent teams. TCU comes into this match up with a very, very good defense. They will frustrate the West Virginia offense and force mistakes, folks. To make matters worse, WVU had second-half leads in three of their last five conference losses. That tells me a lot about how good they are and how good their coaching staff really is. There is no way they could contend with Horned Frogs on the boards in this matchup. Texas Christian has more than a few big men up front and they will dominate the glass here. By the way, they’re also 22-8-1 ATS the last 31 games played on the road. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers are just 0-4 ATS the last four games played at home. Take the Horned Frogs. Thank you. |

01-17-23 | Georgia +11 v. Kentucky | 71-85 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
Georgia Bulldogs. Slam Dunk Play. Game 655. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Georgia is off to a wonderful start this season, going 13-4 overall, which does include a 3-1 mark in SEC play. They enter this matchup red-hot, winning six of the last seven straight up and seven of their last eight against the spread. They have covered six consecutive outings as an underdog and as of this morning, the line on this game is better than double-digits. They have had their way covering the last three in this conference rivalry. Speaking of double-digits, Kentucky has failed to cover their last six contests this season as a double-digit favorite. As a matter fact, the Wildcats are absolute point spread poison. They were riding a 10-game ATS no cover streak until Saturday’s big win on the road at the Volunteers, themselves as a double-digit underdog. I expect them to be in a big “let down” mode here as they face a very gritty Georgia team. The Bulldogs possess one of the stingiest and most frustrating defenses in the conference, let alone in the nation. They are allowing just 63.9-points per game. They are also a top-10 unit defending the perimeter, allowing a mere, 27.7% from beyond the arc. This is going to be a big problem for Kentucky, which heavily relies upon three-point shots. The Wildcats are 0-7-1 ATS the last eight games played at home, 1-7 ATS the last eight games played versus teams with a winning record, and 7-18-1 ATS the last 26 games played following a straight up win. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you. |

Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Slam Dunk Play. Game 846. 11:15 AM PST/2:15 PM EST. Sports fans, the last two meetings in this rivalry have been decided by just one and two-points, as Rutgers has covered both (1-1 SU). Ohio State has lost and failed to cover three straight coming into this matchup. Two of those teams they have lost to, Purdue and Maryland, are two teams that Rutgers took wins and covers against this month alone. While the Buckeyes certainly own some better offensive numbers, the Scarlet Knights rank fourth in the nation in both points per game allowed and field goal percentage allowed, and eight in three-point percentage allowed. This is a very good defense that has held some very strong opponents to some low scoring affairs. Meanwhile Ohio State has only cover two of the last seven games played on the road and only one of the last six games played versus teams was a winning percentage above .600. On the other hand, the Scarlet Knights are 4-1 ATS the last five games played at home, 6-0 ATS the last six games played versus teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played overall. Take Rutgers. Thank you. |

Northwestern Wildcats. Las Vegas Strip Move. Game 829. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. Both teams are at 3-2 in conference play. However, Northwestern owns a much better overall record at 12-4 as opposed to Michigan’s, 9-7 mark. Both teams come off losses. But the Wolverines have lost back-to-back games, failing to cover their last two as well. While Michigan certainly puts up slightly better numbers offensively, Northwestern possesses one of the best defenses in the nation, ranking eleventh in points allowed (59.3 PPG) and 10th in field-goal percentage allowed (37.8%). The Wildcats will also get as many second-chance points as they wish facing the 322nd ranked Wolverines defensive rebounding core. Northwestern is 5-1 ATS the last six games played following and ATS loss. Take Northwestern. Thank you. |

St. John’s Red Storm. Oddsmakers Mistake. Game 831. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. My friends, there is no way Connecticut should be laying these many points. As a matter fact, I have them winning, but only by seven or eight-points. The underdog has covered the last four meetings in this rivalry. And by the way, that has been St. Johns. They have covered four in a row and six of the last seven meetings with their conference rival. They enter this matchup covering their last two outings, while the Huskies have failed to cover five of their last six contests. Yes, both teams can score. And yes, UConn’s defense certainly has better numbers. But the SJU offense can put up just shy of 79-points per game, and they rank 10th in the nation on the offensive boards. This means they’re going to get a ton of second-chance shots. Listen, the Red Storm starting-five all either average or are flirting with double-digits. Way too many points to give a team that could put up a ton of points. Take St. Johns. Thank you. |

Cincinnati Bearcats. AAC Game of the Week. Game 711. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. My friends, Cincinnati is 3-2 in conference play on the road to an overall record of 12-6. SMU, on the other hand, has struggled everywhere so far this season, going just 1-3 against AAC opponents and own an overall dismal mark of 6-11. The Bearcats have had their way in this series, winning eight of the last nine straight up and covering the last six in a row. They enter this matchup playing pretty darn good basketball. Not only have they won nine of their last 12 outings straight up, they are riding a 10-2 ATS hot streak. Meanwhile, the Mustangs last either won or covered on January 1, riding a three-game slide, both straight up and against the number. Not only that, but they’ve taken some beatings, losing by 34 to Houston, 32 to Central Florida, and by 9 to Tulane. I don’t see them keeping pace on the scoreboard here with an offense that averages just 69.0-points per game. Defensively, they are at a big disadvantage as well. The Cincy offense is putting up over 78.1-points per game and just hitting 36.6% from beyond the arc. They are also pretty darn good on the offensive glass as well. So, they get a lot of second chance shots. Guys, the Bearcats entire starting-five average double-digits. Like I said, a big mismatch here tonight. The Mustangs are 4-10 ATS the last 14 games played at home, 4-11 ATS last 15 games played versus teams with a winning percentage above .600, 9-23 ATS the last 32 games played following and ATS loss, and 7-17 ATS the last 24 games played overall. Take Cincinnati. Thank you. |

Granted, the Bruins rank seventh in the nation and are riding an 11-game straight up win streak. However, this team is starting to look a little tired folks. And they’re certainly getting overvalued by the odds makers. They have covered just one of their last three outings. And they come off a very tough, physical, barn-burning to two-point win as an 11-point favorite over the rival, Trojans. UCLA blew an 18-point halftime lead and needed a three-pointer with 14.8 seconds left to escape with the win the other night. They shot just 22.7% from the field in the second half. Guys, this team is tired. Utah, on the other hand is going to be in bounce back mode here this evening. Following a three-game win and cover streak against Cal, Stanford, and Oregon State, they took a 10-point loss at home against Oregon five days ago. That was the Utes first conference loss. I looked for them to bounce back big time here. This is a team very healthy and on both sides of the court matchup very well here. Particularly on the boards, where they rank eighth on the offensive glass. Defensively, they will dominate there as well as UCLA is just atrocious on the offensive glass. Both teams possess four double-digit scores. However, without question, Utah has the bigger, stronger rebounders. Look for 7’0” 235 lbs. center, Branden Carlson (15.7 PPG/7.4 RPG) to go uncontested in the paint. The Utes are 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road. The Bruins are 1-4 ATS the last five games played at home. Take Utah. Thank you. |

01-12-23 | Colorado +4 v. USC | 61-68 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
Colorado Buffaloes. TV Game Winner. Game 827. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. My friends, USC is taking their home court for the first time since December 18. I can tell you that their long away trip has taken its toll on this team. They have lost their last two outings straight up on the road at Washington State and at UCLA. Coming off the Bruins lost, I doubt they’re going to be able to bounce back here mentally as they were down by 18 at the half and cut the lead to just two points in the final minute before UCLA won 60-58. This is a team both mentally and physically fatigued. On the other hand, Colorado enters this matchup red-hot, winning seven of the last eight straight up and three of the last four against the spread. They’re playing very good basketball. You know they’ve had their way in this conference rivalry, taking seven of the last eight meetings with USC straight up and covering six of those eight meetings. This is a relatively healthy team that matches up well with the Trojans on both sides of the court. They have a big strong front court and a very talented back court as well. Both teams have a couple of double-digit scores and solid rebounders. However, there is no question, the Buffaloes are a little bit deeper. The road team has covered five of the last six meetings. The Trojans are just 7-19 ATS the last 26 teams played at home. Take Colorado. Thank you. |

01-11-23 | Mississippi State v. Georgia +2.5 | 50-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
Georgia Bulldogs. SEC Game of the Week. Game 666. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST Well, I can honestly say that I feel the Georgia team, the coaching staff, and the entire crowd at the Stegeman Coliseum enter the tonight’s matchup with an excitement that will be unrivaled, coming off of Monday’s Georgia football team win for the National Title. Granted, Mississippi State did beat Marquette and Utah in the third week of November, failing to cover both games. But this teams record and stats have been padded by a lot of, let’s just say, less than mediocre opponents. Since the schedule started getting a little tougher, well let’s face it, they’ve lost three of their last four straight up. Not only that but they have point spread poison, only covering twice since mid-November. If you’re keeping score, that’s a 2-10 ATS slide. On the other hand, Georgia is a heck of a team. They’ve covered seven of the last nine. And following a four-game straight up win streak, although they covered on the road at Florida in their last outing, they did lose. I look for the team to bounce back big time. Yes, I know the Mississippi State owns a decent defense. But folks, this is the team that allowed the Crimson Tide and the Volunteers to put up a combined 165 points against them just recently. Trust me when I tell you the statistics are padded. The Georgia “D” is pretty darn good themselves, only allowing 65.2-points per game. This does not bode well as the Mississippi State offense leaves a lot to be desired. As a matter of fact, they rank worse than 300th in scoring, three-point percentage, and overall field goal percentage. The “O” is just atrocious. I don’t see them keeping pace with Georgia at all. There’s a lot more talent on the Georgia side than their counterparts here. Plus, they’re a lot deeper as well folks. Both upfront and in the backcourt, they are far superior. Mississippi State is just 2-6 ATS the last eight on the road, while Georgia is 5-2 ATS the last seven at home. Oh, by the way the home team has covered four of the last five meetings in this rivalry. Take Georgia. Thank you. |

01-10-23 | Nevada +9.5 v. San Diego State | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
Nevada Wolfpack. MWC GOW. Game 659. 8:00 PM PST/11:00 PM EST. What a matchup! Nevada and San Diego State are the final two remaining unbeaten teams in the Mountain West Conference. Very quietly, the Aztecs are in their 94th week appearing in the rankings since the start the 2010/2011 season, more than any other program in the state of California during that span. They are a very good team my friends. However, they are being significantly overvalued by the oddsmakers. This is a team that is covered just twice since the last week of November, going on a 2-8 ATS slide. To make matters worse, they are laying just about double-digits here. As a favorite of 8.5-points or more, they are 0-8 ATS this season. Well, the Wolfpack enter this matchup covering five straight games. And to be honest with you, this is a team that is surprising most as they were picked to finished towards the bottom of the barrel in the MWC and have already taken down two of the preseasons top-four league teams. They possess a defense that will frustrate the San Diego State offense and force them into making quite a few mistakes, folks. Offensively, they are every bit as strong as their opponent tonight with a starting-five consisting of three double-digit scorers and a couple of monsters on the boards. This game will tend to get a bit physical, which will also benefit the Wolfpack as they hit just shy of 80% (79.4%) from the line. A far cry better than the 72.9% the Aztecs hit from the free-throw line. The road team has covered seven of the last eight meetings, while the underdog has covered five straight in this rivalry. San Diego State is just 1-5 ATS the last six at home while Nevada is 10-4 ATS the last 14 on the road. Take the Wolfpack. Thank you. |

01-06-23 | Blazers v. Pacers -120 | 99-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
Indiana Pacers on the moneyline. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 502. 4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST. Covering five in a row and nine of the last 11, the Pacers have been money in the bank to us sports bettors. They were riding a four-game straight up win streak prior to Wednesday’s trip to Philadelphia in which they lost a heartbreaker in overtime, 129-126. Now they return home to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where are they own a 13-7 straight up record, covering four straight en route to an overall 9-2 ATS run to face off against a Trailblazers team that is struggling. Portland has hit a wall, dropping five of the last seven outings both straight up and against the spread. The teams best contributors, Lillard and Simmons possess their top-scoring numbers, the back court tandem has overall struggled recently combining for just 41% from the floor since mid-December. Indiana is a little healthier and certainly comes in here more reliable against the number. Portland is just 0-5 ATS, both playing on one days rest and the last five games on the road, Indiana is a perfect 5-0 ATS both the last five games played on one days rest and the last five games played overall. Take the Pacers. Thank you. |

01-05-23 | BYU -120 v. Loyola Marymount | 59-64 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 31 m | Show | |
BYU Cougars. High Roller Play. Game 841. 8:00 PM PST/11:00 PM EST. The Cougars, which are perfect 2-0 in conference play enter this match with the Lions, extremely confident. You see, BYU has taken eight in a row and nine of the last 10 straight up in this series, covering eight of those last 10 as well. Coming into tonight‘s matchup, this team is red-hot, riding a seven-game straight up win streak in which they are 5-1 ATS in lined games. Loyola Marymount, following a three- game win streak both straight up and against the spread, finished December off with an ugly 78-72 loss and no cover on the road at Pacific. They are in for a long evening here as they just don’t have the muscle to contend in the paint with the Cougars front court. Take BYU. Thank you. |

01-05-23 | Purdue +1.5 v. Ohio State | 71-69 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
Purdue Boilermakers. Big Ten GOW. Game 759. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Purdue began this week as a number one team in the nation. On Monday they took their first loss, a heartbreaking one-point defeat at the hands of Rutgers, giving the Boilermakers their first “L” of the season. I looked for them to bounce back here in a Big Ten matchup against a team they know very well. They have taken five of the last seven meetings straight up in this series and making them an underdog here tonight is a mistake. Ohio State is riding a three-game win streak, both straight up and against the spread. However, opponents like Maine, Alabama A&M, and Northwestern have not prepared the Buckeyes for the step up in class here this evening. Yes, I know the Boilermakers haven’t covered since the end of November. But this is going to be a very physical contest and I don’t see anyone on the OSU roster that can contend with Center, Zach Edey. While the road team is 3-0-1 ATS the last four meetings in this rivalry, the Buckeyes are just 3-9 ATS the last 12 games played following a straight up win. Take Purdue. Thank you. |

01-04-23 | Wake Forest +10.5 v. North Carolina | 79-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons. ACC Game of the Week. Game 721. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Guys, the number is way off in this matchup. The odds makers know that we are all going to look at Wake Forest’s away record and compare it to North Carolina’s home record. Currently, the Demon Deacons are just 1-2 as a visitor this season, while the Tar Heels are 6-0 at the Dean E. Smith Center. Let’s go over history first my friends. These two teams met four times over the last two seasons, with each team winning two of the match ups. However, Wake Forest covered three of those four and going back a bit, six of the last eight against North Carolina. They enter this matchup winning and covering their last two games over Duke and Virginia Tech. Mind you they were underdogs in both. The Tar Heels, following a four-game straight up win streak in which they went 3-1 ATS, lost a few nights ago on the road at the Panthers, 76-74. This is a team struggling right now folks. They are just 9-5 on the campaign. And once again this season are being overvalued by the odds makers, covering just four of their 14 outings. Both teams currently possess four double-digit scores and a handful of solid rebounders. Both teams are deep up front and have talented backcourts. As I said earlier, these two teams match up quite well. And I just don’t see how the odds makers can make the Demon Deacons a double-digit ‘dog. Take a Wake Forest. Thank you. |

01-04-23 | Miami-FL -6.5 v. Georgia Tech | 70-76 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Miami Florida. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 675. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. The 12th ranked Miami Hurricanes have won nine consecutive contests. Not only are they winning, they are getting us paid, covering six of their last eight. Such teams as Providence, Central Florida, Rutgers, NC State, Virginia, and Notre Dame have all fallen victim to Miami-Fl. If you’re worrying about them being a visitor here tonight, don’t be. The Hurricanes have won eight straight regular season away games and seven straight conference road games going back to last season. They have dominated the Yellow Jackets, winning and covering both meetings a season ago by an average of 10-points per game. Georgia Tech enters this matchup dropping three of their last four straight up and four of their last five against the spread. On both sides of the court, they are outclassed here. I just don’t see their lackluster offense, which averages a mere 71.2-points per game keeping pace with the explosive Miami “O“. The favorite has covered five of the last six meetings in this rivalry, while the road team has covered nine of the last 13 matchups. Once again, the Hurricanes are money on the road, covering 23 of their last 29 as a visitor. Take Miami. Thank you. |

01-04-23 | Penn State +4 v. Michigan | 69-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Penn State Nittany Lions. Shocker Play. Game 683. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Sports fans, as of this morning most of the wagers are coming in on Michigan. Now while they’ve taken down Penn State the last two meetings straight up, the Nittany Lions have covered the last four matchups with the Wolverines. And before the last two, won the previous to straight up. Penn State is starting to be recognized as a contender in the Big Ten. They enter today’s game winning five in a row straight up, covering three of those five. They match up very well with today’s opponent. Speaking of Michigan, they are just 8-5 on the campaign. And it seems that each time they try to step up in class, they get romped. They took an early season beating at the hands of Arizona State, got crushed by Virginia, lost to Kentucky, and then lost to North Carolina. What they should really be concerned with is the fact that less than a week ago, as a 21.5-point favorite, they lost 63-61 to Central Michigan. Now they did bounce back and destroy Maryland three days ago, but to be honest with you I just don’t see them matching up with Penn State tonight. Both up front and in the back court, the Nittany Lions are chock-full of talent. The underdog is 4-0 ATS the last four meetings in this rivalry. Penn State is 7-1 ATS the last eight games played on the road and 8-2-1 ATS the last 11 games played following an ATS win. Michigan is 5-2 ATS the last seven games played at home and 6-20 ATS the last 26 games played following an ATS win. Take the Nittany Lions. Thank you. |

LSU Tigers. ESPN TV Winner. Game 625. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. My friends, I just can’t figure it. The Tigers possess a 12-1 record, are 1-0 in conference play, have rattled off seven consecutive straight up victories, and come off a 60-57 win over the ninth ranked Razorbacks, and yet they enter this matchup as of this analysis, nearly a double-digit underdog. No, it’s true, they do not have an explosive offense. But they down a defense holding opponents to just 63.4-points per game. I mean this is a team that each time they stepped up this season, has come through. They’ve already taken down Akron, covered against Kansas State, beat Wake Forest, and just come off that big win over Arkansas. While Kentucky is always a very competitive team, they’re just 9-4 straight up and a dismal, 4-8-1 against the spread on the season. To be quite honest, they haven’t covered a game since November 23, riding a seven-game ATS slide. Outside of a win at the beginning of December over Michigan, they have not played well against any formidable adversaries. Last season these two conference rivals split out straight up victories. However, the Tigers covered both as they were each decided by just five-points. Both teams have monster big men in KJ Williams and Oscar Tshiebwe. The better supporting cast and the deeper squad belongs to the visitor here. The road team has covered five of the last seven meetings. The Tigers have covered five of their last six on the road. Meanwhile, the Wildcats have failed to cover the last six at home. Take LSU. Thank you. |

01-03-23 | Marquette -130 v. St. John's | 96-85 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Marquette Golden Eagles on the moneyline. Las Vegas Strip Move. Game 601. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST. Sports fans, they may have identical 11-4 records, but in conference play, Marquette is 3-1, while St. John’s is just 1-3. The Golden Eagles have already notched victories over such a notables as the Yellow Jackets, the Bears, the Fighting Irish, the Blue Jays, the Pirates, and the Wildcats. As a matter of fact, this team comes in here red-hot, winning five of the last six straight up and four of the last five against the spread. Take special note of the last two outings, both wins and covers over Seton Hall and Villanova. They are hitting just under 50% (49.6%) from the field and averaging over 81.5-points per game. On the other hand, the Red Storm is skidding, dropping three in a row, both straight up and against the spread. During their current slide, SJU has lost by an average of 14.0-points per game. In consecutive outings they have allowed 79, 78, 84, and 88 points to be scored upon them. Things just don’t look good here today as they face one of the highest scoring teams in the nation. They’re also in trouble on the boards, big time, as Marquette has three big men up front that will dominate in the paint. St. John’s just doesn’t have the physicality to contend in this match up. They are also 1-4 ATS the last five games played at home. Take the Golden Eagles. Thank you. |

12-31-22 | San Diego State v. UNLV +4.5 | 76-67 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
UNLV. MWC Game of the Month. Game 726. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. San Diego State has played some pretty good basketball. And I feel there is a very decent team. However, since the end of November they’ve only played one formidable foe and that was Saint Mary’s in a seven-point loss on a neutral site as a 1.5-point favorite. Other than that, they’ve been double digit favorites or had no line in every other contest. So, I feel they got to come in here very overconfident. They face a UNLV team that has played some very good basketball as well. They have dropped two of their last three both straight up and against the spread. And I feel are in serious bounce-back mode here today. This is a team that knows the Aztecs very well. The Rebels have three double-digit scorers and without question will control the tempo with the superior back court. I feel this is way too many points to give a very game UNLV team which is 5-1 ATS the last six following a straight up loss, 4-1 ATS the last five at home, and 6-2 ATS the last eight overall. By the way, the San Diego State is 1-4 ATS the last five following an ATS loss, 0-5 ATS the last five following a straight up win, and 1-7 ATS the last eight overall. Take the Rebels. Thank you. |

Whether you look on the 3-DAY, the 7-DAY, or the 30-DAY leader boards in the NBA, it doesn’t matter, because you will find the name Joe D’Amico there. Once again, this season, since the opening day of the campaign, I have been a fixture on the NBA leaderboard. Tonight, I have just one big money maker for you on the pro basketball hardwood in my 41-16 NBA FAST BREAK PLAY. I have it posted right now for you. New York Knicks. Fast Break. Game 540. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Sports fans, you cannot find two teams trending in more opposite directions than the Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks. Toronto is on a six-game slide, both straight up and against the spread. New York is riding an eight-game hot streak, both straight up and against the spread. While the Raptors had a night off following with their overtime loss at the 76ers, the Knicks had six players score in double-digits last night at the Garden in their 132-94 crushing victory over the Warriors. Granted, in some of their losses during their current losing streak, Toronto played some very close games. However, coming off that overtime loss is going to find them very fatigued here tonight. Their offense is basically nonexistent, ranking 22nd in scoring, 28th in field-goal percentage, and 29th in three-point percentage. This does not bode well as they must face a New York defense that ranks in the top-10 in several major categories. New York is also one of the healthiest teams in the NBA, while Toronto has several players out and a few also listed as questionable this evening. The Raptors are just 2-8 ATS their last 10 games played on the road, 0-4 ATS their last four games played on one days rest, and 1-5 ATS their last six games played versus teams with a winning record. New York is 4-0 ATS their last four games played at home, 19-6-1 ATS their last 26 teams played on zero days rest, and 4-0 ATS their last four games played versus teams with a losing record. Take the Knicks. Thank you. |

Mississippi State Bulldogs. Best Bet. Game 603. 2:00 PM PST/5:00 PM EST. In a game being played at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska we see the 8-3 Drake Bulldogs face the 11-0 Mississippi State Bulldogs. Drake is playing some decent basketball. However, they have stepped up in class three times this season and lost and failed to cover all three against Indiana State, Richmond, and Saint Louis. They are also on an 0-5 ATS run. On the other hand, Mississippi State possesses a perfect record and has already taken down such notables as Akron, Marquette, Utah, and Minnesota. By the way, they have covered three of those four games against formidable opponents. While Drake has played some good basketball, they are in big trouble here today facing Mississippi State’s third-ranked defense, allowing is 52.1-points per game and just 35.8% shooting. They are absolutely stifling, defensively. Offensively, you can expect Mississippi State to also get a lot of second-chance shots as they rank 16th nationally on the offensive glass and they are facing one of the worst teams in the nation on the defensive boards. This is a big mismatch here, folks. Take Mississippi state. Thank you. |

Minnesota Timberwolves. Oddsmakers Mistake. Game 508. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. My friends, there is no way Minnesota should be an underdog in this matchup. I have them a two-point favorite on my power ratings. They come off back-to-back wins and covers, including a huge 150-126 victory last night at home against Chicago. They set a franchise mark for points scored and field goals. Don’t expect a let down here as they will keep their foot on the gas because a victory tonight would bring them a better than .500 record. They play a Dallas team that they have taken three of the last five meetings against a season ago. This will be the first meeting this season. However, the Mavericks over the last few weeks have been very inconsistent, going just 2-4 both straight up and against the spread. While both teams have a few questionable players here, the Timberwolves are certainly deeper and can’t sustain the injury situation a little bit better. They are the third ranked field goal shooting team in the league, hitting just shy of 50% from the floor, while the Mavericks rank 26th, allowing 48.1% shooting. Dallas is 6-14 ATS the last 20 games played on the road and 7-17-2 ATS the last 26 games played overall. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

12-17-22 | Heat v. Spurs +7.5 | 111-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
San Antonio Spurs. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 552. To 10 PM PST/5:10 PM EST. As of 6 AM PST this morning, the Miami Heat have 15 players listed on their injury report. I guess being fined for violating the league’s injury reporting rules had no effect LOL. Now I will tell you only two are listed as out, six are listed as questionable, and seven as are listed as probable. That has little to do with why I am coming in on the San Antonio Spurs. But it does play a small part. Obviously overall the Heat are a little banged-up. But Miami travels down to Mexico City after playing two games back-to-back down to the wire in Oklahoma City and in Houston. I think this team is going to be a little weary and a little tired. Despite winning three in a row, the Miami still ranks 29th in the NBA in scoring, averaging just 108.0-points per game. They’re also absolutely horrible on the boards, and shooting from downtown and overall, from the floor. Granted, the Spurs defense leaves a lot to be desired, ranking 30th in several categories. However, they’re not too bad on the defensive glass. They enter this matchup winning and covering three of their last four outings. They are also no strangers to playing in Mexico City. Over the years they have played six games south of the border, with the most recent coming in 2019. San Antonio took down Miami just seven days ago on the road, 115-111. Normally I look at the losing team in a rematch within a week, however they’re traveling south of the border and as I mentioned at the beginning of this analysis, the Heat are weary and tired. They are also 0-3-1 ATS their last four games played versus teams with a losing record, 7-18-2 ATS their last 27 games played following a straight up win, and there’s 1-5-1 ATS their last seven games played overall. Take the Spurs. Thank you. |

12-17-22 | Alabama -120 v. Gonzaga | 90-100 | Loss | -120 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Alabama Crimson Tide on the monyline. Above The Rim Play. Game 611. 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST. This matchup puts together the fourth ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and the 15th ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs played in Birmingham, Alabama. A 9-1 Alabama team bounced back from their only loss of the season on November 25 to rattle off four consecutive wins over such notables as North Carolina, San Diego State, Houston, and Memphis. This team is absolutely crushing opponents. They’re averaging over 83.0-points per game and top the nation on the offensive boards snagging 45 rebounds on the offensive glass per game. I think we can all agree the 8-3 Gonzaga squad is not the same team we are accustomed to seeing. They have played some good basketball. However, having a very close call against Michigan State early on and following that up with an embarrassing, 93-74 loss against Texas told us what we were in store for. Granted, they did take down Kentucky. But losing by 18 to Purdue and a one-point loss to Baylor has shown us that this team cannot step up and play top-tier opponents. As a matter fact, they’ve only covered two of their 11 contests this season, and the last cover was back on November 20. While they can still score points, their defense is getting beaten up pretty badly. The problem in this matchup is the Crimson Tide enters here allowing just 70.1-points per game. It’s going to be a very long day for the Bulldogs folks. Not only does the Crimson Tide possess the talent and the depths to beat the Bulldogs, they will devour them in the paint as well with the much more physical roster. ‘Bama took last December’s meeting, 91-82. Gonzaga is point spread poison, going 2-12-3 ATS their last 17 games played versus teams with a winning record, 1-9-1 ATS their last 11 games played on a neutral site, and 3-15-3 ATS their last 21 games played overall. Roll Tide. Thank you |

Brooklyn Nets on the moneyline. Slam Dunk Play. Game 535. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Brooklyn has taken all three meetings with Toronto this season, both straight up and against the spread. The most recent, a 114-105 win less than two weeks ago at home. The Nets are surging. They have won eight of their last nine straight up. And are playing equally good at home as well as on the road. Their last two outings within the last week were both wins and covers at the Pacers and at the Wizards. On the other hand, the Raptors are struggling. They have dropped seven of their last nine both straight up and against the spread. This includes a three-game slide (L3 games) in which they were favored in all three games and lost outright. Things will go from bad to worse for this team as they face one of the best defenses in the NBA. As a matter of fact, nothing looks good for Toronto offensively. Their field goal percentage ranks 26th in the league, and their percentage from beyond the arc is a dismal 28%. They’re even struggling from the free throw line, hitting just 78.6%. Defensively they are one of the worst in the league, allowing a whopping 48.4% shooting. This doesn’t bode well as Brooklyn ranks second in shooting, hitting 49.9% from the floor. Outside of Curry, who is questionable this evening, the Nets are relatively healthy. I wouldn’t worry about the guard playing, they have Harris and Simmons to rotate. Toronto is a little thin upfront, and I believe will be over matched on the boards here. The Nets are 4-0 ATS the last four meetings in Toronto. The Raptors are 0-4 ATS the last four games played versus teams with a winning record. Take Brooklyn. Thank you. |

12-16-22 | Delaware v. Princeton -7 | 76-69 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Princeton Tigers. LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE PLAY. Game 876. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. My friends, Princeton is a very good team. They are off to an 8-3 start already on the campaign, winning eight of the last nine straight up. Getting them off their first loss since mid-November will be fatal for Delaware team that is severely overmatched here. The Tigers had won eight straight outings before Tuesday’s heartbreaking, 70-64 loss against the Gaels, a game in which they did cover. As a matter fact, they have covered three of their last four games. Now Delaware has won three in a row straight up, covering two of those three outings. And they looked pretty good beating Davidson, 69-67 at the beginning of the month. However, their only contest this season against an Ivy League team happened at the end of November when they visited Penn and got devoured, 86-73. The Blue Hens have an outstanding player in Jameer Nelson Jr., who is averaging just shy of 20-points per game. He is a stud. But his supporting cast leaves a lot to be desired. When your best rebounders are all guards, there will be an issue when you have to face a big, strong front court. And that is exactly what the Tigers possess. They have four double-digit scores. But they are very strong upfront with their three best rebounders all being big men. They significantly overmatch their opponent here on both sides of court, particularly on the boards, where they will absolutely dominate. Delaware is just 5-12 ATS their last 17 games played following a straight up win, 4-10 ATS their last 14 games played on the road following three or more consecutive games played at home, and 1-4 ATS their last five games played on the road. Take Princeton. Thank you. |

12-15-22 | Cal-Irvine +2 v. Santa Clara | 74-86 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
UC Irvine. Best Bet Play. Game 863. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. Guys, UC Irvine is a very strong team. They have taken down the likes of Oregon, Loyola Marymount, and New Mexico State. All this and they played very tough in a heartbreaking three-point loss to San Diego State as a 12-point underdog. This is a very good team. Not only that but they are 6-2 against the spread this season in lined games. They enter this match up against a Santa Clara team that has failed to cover their last five outings. Once again, this season this team is being overvalued. The Anteaters have an enormous amount of confidence knowing they have won and covered the last four meetings against the Broncos going back seven years. This includes last years meeting, 69-64. They possess an explosive offense averaging 80.1-points per game. And a defense allowing just 63.5-points per game. Offensively they are one of the best in the nation both from downtown and on the glass. Defensively they’re one of the best in field goal percentage allowed and three-point percentage allowed. Outside of a mid-November win against Depaul, Santa Clara really hasn’t showed us very much. They took some beatings already to the likes of Utah State, Central Florida, and San Jose State. I will not argue that the best player on the floor is guard Brandin Podziemski. But the Anteaters certainly have the depth and the talent to frustrate the stand out guard and also overwhelm him. They also have a team that rotates players a lot more because they’re so deep and this will be a major factor here. They are 4-0 ATS their last four games played on the road, 5-1 ATS their last six games played following a straight up win, and 4-1 ATS their last five games played overall. The Broncos are 0-5 ATS their last five games played at home, 0-4 ATS their last four games played followed a straight up win, and 0-5 ATS their last five games played overall. Take UC Irvine. Thank you. |

12-15-22 | Heat v. Rockets +4 | 111-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
Houston Rockets. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 524. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. The Houston Rockets have shown signs of life. They are coming off back-to-back victories for just the second time this season. And the last two opponents were no pushovers in the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns. If they would’ve had a letdown situation, it would’ve been following the Bucks victory. But instead, they clobbered the Suns by 15-points. As a matter of fact, they have won five consecutive games at home while covering their last six outings at the Toyota Center. Their defense has really played well. I understand that the Heat are a very good team, however they are just 5-9 straight up on the road this season. And to be quite honest with you their offense leaves a lot to be desired. I know defensively they are one of the better teams in the league. But the way the Rockets are playing I just don’t see the Heat contending as a visitor here tonight. By the way, Miami is just 7-18-1 ATS their last 26 games played following a straight up win, 2-7 ATS the last nine games played versus a team with a losing record, and 1-5 ATS their last six games played overall Take Houston. Thank you. |

12-14-22 | UCF +6.5 v. Ole Miss | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
Central Florida. Best Bet Play. Game 651. 4:30 PM PST 7:30 PM EST. In my opinion this is one of the best matchups on the board Wednesday night. You have two very strong teams both sitting at 7-2 on the campaign. Many people out there are expecting a very high-scoring a fair. I’m looking at the side in this match up. Mississippi, according to headlines come off their best performance of the season a few nights ago. However, beating a team like Valparaiso by 37-points when you’re a 15-point favorite does not impress me much. Their previous two outings were both losses and no covers against Oklahoma and Memphis. Two solid opponents. On the other hand, Central Florida has played consistently the entire season. They opened up the campaign with an overtime loss against UNC Asheville then rattled off five consecutive wins and covers. They dropped a two-point heartbreaker to Miami and then won their following two games. Their last two opponents, Samford and Tarleton State are not the strongest adversaries. I will admit that. However, they got back on track. Both teams have several solid scorers and a couple of good rebounders. But the big difference in this matchup is the fact that the Knights are quite a bit stronger defensively. They are allowing just 60.3-points per game, 37.6% shooting from the floor, and only 26.7 shooting from downtown. This game is going to be a very close game. Central Florida is 6-2 ATS their last eight games played overall. Ole’ Miss is 1-3-1 ATS their last five games played following an ATS win. Takes a nice. Thank you. |

12-10-22 | Kansas -3 v. Missouri | 95-67 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Kansas Jayhawks. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 683. 2:15 PM PST/5:15 PM EST. Sporting an 8-1 overall record, the sixth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks are well-rested, having not played since December 1. They face a Missouri Tigers team that is undefeated thus far this season at 9-0. Even with that flawless record, the Tigers are not ranked in the Top-25. There is a good reason for that. They have yet to face a true opponent. Playing teams like Southern Indiana, Penn, Lindenwood, SIU Edwardsville, Mississippi Valley State, Coastal Carolina, Houston Christian and South East Missouri State is the reason why they own a 9-0 mark. Their only true opponent was Wichita State and that game was their most competitive as they eked out a four-point victory in overtime. Kansas has already taken down such notables as Duke, NC State, Wisconsin, and Seton Hall. Their one loss was a bad one at the end of November, getting routed by Tennessee. However, they did bounce back strongly and have won and covered their last two outings. Last year‘s meeting with the Tigers was an annihilation, crushing them 102-65. Missouri does possess the No. 1 scoring offense in the nation, averaging over 93.0 points per game. But once again they have not faced a team anywhere near the level as they are going to face today. The Jayhawks also possess a very good defense, holding opponents to just 65.4-points per game and under 40% shooting from the floor. Take Kansas. Thank you. |

12-10-22 | Arkansas v. Oklahoma +4.5 | 88-78 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
Oklahoma. High Roller Play. Game 610. 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST. The ninth-ranked Razorbacks are 8-1 on the season. To be quite honest, they really haven’t faced too many tough opponents. They lost to Creighton a few weeks ago and then followed that up having a tough time with San Diego State, eking out a four-point win in overtime. Their last three opponents were Troy, San Jose State, and UNC Greensboro. They are stepping up in class here big-time, facing a very strong Oklahoma squad. And they must do it without their biggest presence in Trevon Brazile. The forward is their strongest presence on the floor, one of their top-scorers, and their best rebounder. He will be sorely missed here as the Sooners are loaded up front and rotate four very physical, very big forwards. With wins over Nebraska, Seton Hall, and Mississippi, this team has faced some tough opposition. They played strong against Villanova a week ago in a heartbreaking four-point loss. Their defense ranks 13th in the nation, allowing just 57.9-points per game and will frustrate Arkansas. Oklahoma took last year‘s meeting 88-66 and has been money against the spread going 6-1 ATS their last seven games versus teams with a winning record, 6-0 ATS their last six games played on a neutral site, and 4-1 ATS their last five games played overall. Take the Sooners. Thank you. |

12-10-22 | Temple -4.5 v. Pennsylvania | 57-77 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
Temple Owls. Bookie Buster Play. Game 615. 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST. Temple comes into today’s match up red-hot, winning and covering their last four outings. They face a Penn team that is ice-cold, riding a three-game slide straight up, going 1-2 ATS. Towards the end of November, the Quakers faced several subpar teams to pad their record. But their last three opponents were a big step up in class, hence their losing streak. The Owls are another big step up in class for them here today. Both squads have solid starters. However, Temple is much deeper overall and also possess four players that are either averaging or flirting with double-digits. They took last year‘s meeting 81-72. Oh, and by the way the road team is 16-6 ATS the last 22 meetings in this series. Take the Owls. Thank you. |

12-07-22 | Connecticut -4.5 v. Florida | 75-54 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
UConn Huskies. BOOKIE BUSTER PLAY. Game 705. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. No. 5 UConn is not just a perfect 9-0 this season. They are also 8-0-1 against the spread. I have read that this is the first true road test of the season. And I get it. However, on neutral courts this team has already taken down the likes of Oregon, Alabama, and Iowa State, covering each of those outings. This is a very well-balanced squad. Offensively, they have six-players either flirting with or averaging nine-points per game or more. Their starting backcourt of Hawkins and Newton are combining for 24.7-points per game. They have a very strong front court consisting of three starters or 6’9” or taller. They are led on the floor by forward, Adama Sonogo, who is accounting for 18.7-points per game and 6.9-rebounds per game. Florida is a decent team. They are 6-3 on the season but are being a bit overvalued as they have just covered four of their nine outings. They hit a rough patch in November covering just one of six games across nearly three weeks and dropped three of those six, losing to Florida Atlantic, Xavier, and West Virginia. Their last two games, they absolutely blew it up. But their opponents were Florida A&M and Stetson. I believe they’ll come in here with a false sense of security and very overconfident. Offensively, they can score. It is their defense that is in big trouble here against one of the most explosive offenses in the nation. It’s not just that folks. But the Huskies also possess one of the toughest and most frustrating defenses in college basketball. They rank 20th in the nation allowing only 58.7-points per game and 10th nationally grabbing 26.3-defensive boards a game. They have accumulated these statistics playing better competition my friends. The Gators are 2-12 ATS their last 14 games played following a straight up win and 4-9 ATS their last 13 games played overall. Take Connecticut. Thank you. |

12-07-22 | Indiana State +4.5 v. Southern Illinois | 74-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Indiana State Sycamores. High Roller Play. Game 589. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. Indiana State owns the best record in the Missouri Valley Conference at 8-1. This does include a record of 1-0 in League play. Southern Illinois, which is also 1-0 in Conference action, is an overall 5-3. After losing four straight in this series, the Saluki‘s did take both of last year‘s meetings. However, these are two very different teams this year. The Sycamore’s are playing some great basketball. They currently rank 15th nationally in scoring, averaging over 84.1-points per game. They’ve already notched impressive victories over such notables as Drake and Miami-Ohio. Southern Illinois is posting good numbers defensively. However outside of an early-November victory over Oklahoma State, they have been very unimpressive thus far. They lost to both UNLV and Saint Louis. And also needed overtime to eke out a victory against Cal Baptist. Offensively, they leave a lot to be desired. They lost their biggest and strongest big man Scottie Ebube about a month ago. This is the matchup he will be sorely missed. Indiana State has a very talented backcourt and a very strong, physical frontcourt. The Sycamore’s are 6-2 ATS their last eight games played following a straight up win. The Saluki‘s are 1-4-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Take Indiana State. Thank you. |

12-06-22 | Maryland +2.5 v. Wisconsin | 59-64 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
Sports fans, my college basketball conference GAMES OF THE WEEK are 100% this season. Today we continue to stay perfect in my NCAA Basketball GOW’S as I have my BIG TEN GAME OF THE WEEK in the Maryland Terrapins/Wisconsin Badgers matchup. Not only will you win big with this Big Ten GOW Winner, but you could also watch your money roll in as it is being aired on ESPN2. Maryland Terrapins. Big Ten GOW. Game 645. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Maryland is a perfect 8-0 on the campaign. They are 1-0 in conference play. And the Terrapins have covered seven of their eight 2022 contests. They have already notched wins over such notables as St. Louis, Miami, and Illinois. This team is loaded with talent, possessing four double-digit scorers and a couple of big men upfront that are monsters on the boards. As a matter of fact, they are averaging over 80.8-points per game and are only allowing 61.0-points per game. They are excellent on both ends of the court on the glass. And are deep on the bench as well. At 6-2, Wisconsin is a pretty good team themselves. They’ve taken down a couple of big teams too. However, in their last few outings they took a loss at home against Wake Forest in which they were a 6-point favorite. And then a few days ago, won a grueling overtime contest at Marquette. They are not as explosive offensively. They’re only averaging 66.4-points per game. And they are not very good on the offensive boards. Don’t expect them to get too many second-chance shots. Their strength lies on their defense which is allowing 59.9-points per game. However, their last two outings, their defense got blown up for 78 and 77-points. Look for the Terrapins to get a little revenge from last years, 70-69 heartbreaking loss to the Badgers. The road team is 3-0-1 ATS the last four meetings in this rivalry. Maryland is 4-0 ATS the last four games played versus teams with a winning record and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played following a straight up win. Take the Terrapins. Thank you. |

12-05-22 | Suns +3 v. Mavs | 111-130 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Phoenix. Suns. OM PLAY. Game 543. 5:40 PM PST/8:40 PM EST. The Suns have dominated the regular season play with the Mavericks over the past three or four campaigns. But you may also recall last years Western Conference Finals in which Dallas took the final two games by 27 and 33-points to end Phoenix’ season. In their only matchup this season, the Suns eked out a two-point victory at home against the Mavericks nearly two months ago. Fast forward to tonights meeting, and Phoenix comes in here winning seven of their last eight straight up, which includes a 38-point blowout in San Antonio last night. Dallas had a day off to rest following their 21-point drubbing over New York at the Garden a few nights ago. That was their second win and their last three outings. However, that was also just their second win in their last seven outings. And only their third cover in the last 10. The Suns are still looking for a little pay back from being ousted from last year’s Western Conference Finals and they can exact a bit of vengeance here tonight. I just don’t see the Mavericks contending offensively with the seventh-ranked scoring offense in the NBA. When it comes to defense, both teams are very good. But because the Suns are so strong offensively it will slow Dallas down in transition. Oh, one more item, the Mavericks are one of the worst in the league on the offensive boards and they are facing one of the stingiest and most ferocious defensive rebounding squads in the NBA. So, second-chance shots will be at a minimum. I know the Suns have a couple guys that are banged-up here. It doesn’t matter folk. They will still be very competitive and keep this game close. Getting a few baskets is the play. Take Phoenix. Thank you |

Boston Celtics. Las Vegas Strip Move. Game 535. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST Yes, I am well aware of the fact that Toronto is 9-2 SU at home this season. But Boston is pretty darn good on the road themselves, going 8-3 straight up away from home in 2022. These two teams share the Atlantic division as the Celtics are atop with an overall record of 19-5 and the Raptors sit tied for second just above .500 at 12-11. For our purposes, the Celtics have covered three straight in this rivalry. And going back a bit, seven of the last 10 meetings. They come in here a bit hotter and with the No. 1 scoring offense in the NBA. As a matter fact the rank in the top-three in every major offensive category. I just don’t see the Raptors keeping pace with them on the scoreboard offensively. Boston is 9-0 ATS the last nine meetings in Toronto. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

12-03-22 | Ole Miss +6.5 v. Memphis | 57-68 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Mississippi Rebels. Slam Dunk Play. Game 699. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. Getting Mississippi coming off their first loss of the 2022/2023 campaign is going to be a very tough task for Memphis. The Rebels began the campaign 6-0 and went to the mat with Oklahoma last week, losing 59-55. This is a very talented team. But what makes them so strong is their defense. They have a swarming and frustrating “D“ that is allowing just 62.9-points per game and is one of the best in the nation on the defensive glass, currently ranking 13th nationally. Offensively, they have three players all averaging double-digits. And quite a few solid big men up front. I think this is a perfect opportunity for Mississippi to take advantage of a Memphis team that might come in here a little overconfident coming off three consecutive wins over teams like Nebraska, Stanford, and North Alabama. However, I believe the Tigers are going to get caught looking ahead as they are entering a stretch in which four of their next five games are against SEC teams. Up next is a game in which they host Little Rock. Then they face No. 15 Memphis, then Auburn, followed by No. 11 Alabama, and then they host Texas A&M. This is a very rough stretch for this team and I believe they will get caught looking ahead today. The Rebels know the Tigers very well and they have covered six straight meetings in the series including the most recent back in 2019 and 2021. By the way, they took a December meeting a year ago 67-63. Take Mississippi. Thank you. |

12-03-22 | Oklahoma +3 v. Villanova | 66-70 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 60 m | Show | |
Oklahoma Sooners. Oddsmakers Mistake. Game 605. 9:30 AM PST/12:30 PM EST. My friends, there is no question that Oklahoma should be a very small favorite in this match up with Villanova today. Following their season opening loss, the Sooners have now won seven consecutive games straight up, covering their last three. They are doing it with a combination of accurate shooting and frustrating defense. They are hitting over 48% from the floor while their “D“ is allowing just 56.9-points per game. On the other hand, Villanova is in for a very long season. They have dropped four in a row straight up and have only covered one game going back to April of last season, riding a 1-7 no cover streak. Oklahoma is 5-0 ATS the last five games played on the road. Villanova is 0-4 ATS the last four games played at home. Take Oklahoma. Thank you. |

I OWN THE PAC-12. Every season I get you paid in this conference in college basketball. Well, get ready to get paid once again this season. And today we tip-off the conference schedule with my PAC-12 GAME OF THE WEEK. If you only play one game today make sure it is this one. UCLA Bruins. Pac-12 GOW. Game 779. 7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST. UCLA is without question a much stronger team than Stanford. And being at this is their first conference matchup of the campaign, you can rest assure that the Bruins will come out here to make a statement. Following back-to-back hard-fought losses to Illinois and Baylor, UCLA has since decimated both Pepperdine and Bellarmine. On the other hand, Stanford is in for a very long and arduous season. They are just 3-4 with some very ugly losses. They are getting devoured by better teams. I just don’t see how a team that averages 66.6-points per game can contend offensively with the explosive offense of UCLA, which is averaging over 83.0-points per game. No matter how you look at it, the Bruins outclass the Cardinal. Not only will they beat them inside with a bigger stronger front court, but they have some of the most accurate shooters in the nation, averaging over 50% from the field and almost 40% from downtown. They won and covered both meetings in this conference rivalry last season by 23 and nine-points. This is a very short price to lay with a much better team. Stanford is just 2-6 ATS the last eight games played at Maples Pavilion. Take UCLA. Thank you. |

12-01-22 | Arizona State +4.5 v. Colorado | 60-59 | Win | 100 | 12 h 28 m | Show | |
Arizona State Sun Devils. Las Vegas Strip Move. Game 767. 5:30 PM PST/8:30 PM EST. Since their November 13th OT loss to Texas Southern, Arizona State has won and covered four consecutive contests. They’ve had a couple of pushovers during their hot streak. However, they also took down Virginia Commonwealth and Michigan with authority, winning both of those outings outright as underdogs. They enter this matchup without one of their star forwards, Marcus Bagley. But not to worry, this will be the sixth game without him on the floor. Other than that, this is a very healthy team. They’re also confident knowing they took the last matchup with Colorado last February. The Buffaloes are a decent team. They’ve notched wins over such notables as the volunteers and the Aggie‘s already. However, they have looked pretty bad against several lesser teams. Colorado has dropped games against Grambling, UMass, and Boise State already. They come off a very difficult contest in which they eked by Yale 65-62. They have failed to cover three of their last four outings. Both of these teams are pretty good offensively. Defensively Arizona State is much stronger. They are holding opponents to less than 60-points per game and less than 34% shooting. Oh, by the way they crushed Grambling more than a week ago by 31-points. The Buffaloes are 6-13-2 ATS the last 21 games played at home and 0-4 ATS the last four games played following a straight up win. Take the Sun Devils. Thank you. |

11-29-22 | Virginia -4.5 v. Michigan | 70-68 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
Virginia. Game 635. 6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST. No. 3 Virginia has already tallied victories over a couple of ranked teams. They’ve taken down Baylor and Illinois with decisive wins and covers in both contests. Granted, Michigan is at home and sports a 5-1 record. But playing against the undefeated Cavaliers is definitely a step up in class for the Wolverines. Michigan has had problems with lesser teams and for our purposes, covering the point spread. They’ve already lost against Arizona State. And they failed to cover for all their last five against teams like Eastern Michigan, Arizona State, Ohio, and Jacksonville State. Both teams score about the same amount of points. But once again this season the Cavaliers possess a monster defense, yielding only 57.6 points per game. They’re also one of the best in the nation on the defensive glass. This means the Wolverines won’t get as many second chance shots as they like. This will be a game changer here. One more item guys. Look for Virginia to absolutely decimate Michigan from beyond the arc as they are hitting approximately 45% from downtown. This is a place where the Wolverines always have a problem defending. Virginia is 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road Michigan is 1-5 ATS the last six games played at home. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you. |

11-29-22 | Wake Forest v. Wisconsin -5.5 | 78-75 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Wisconsin. High Roller. Game 634. 6:00 PM PST/ 9:00 PM EST. Wisconsin is playing some great basketball. The Badgers are already 5-1 and have taken down such notables as Stanford, Dayton, and USC. And went to overtime suffering a one-point heartbreaking loss against Kansas. One thing they have done has covered, going 5-1 ATS this season already. This does include three consecutive ATS covers against the Flyers, the Jayhawks, and the Trojans. Wake Forest has played good basketball as well. But let’s be honest, they just haven’t played the same level of competition as their counterpart. And the fact that they had some problems with Utah Valley and lost to Loyola Marymount, cannot be ignored. While the Demon Deacons are accounting for over 81 points per game, they just cannot contend with the Badgers stifling and frustrating defense that’s only yielding 54 points per game. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS the last five games played at home. Take the Badgers. Thank you. |

11-28-22 | Rockets +12 v. Nuggets | 113-129 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 16 m | Show | |
Houston Rockets. Slam Dunk. Game 513. 6:10 PM PST/9:10 PM EST. The Houston Rockets own one of the poorest records in the NBA at 5-14. However, one thing they do is get us bettors paid, going 11-8 ATS this season. They are starting to show signs of life, winning their last two games straight up and covering three in a row and four of their last five against the spread. While the Denver Nuggets are one of the better teams in the NBA atop the Northwest division at 12-7, they are crushing anyone who supports them at the betting window. There is a reason for this my friends. They are severely overvalued by the odds makers. Put a pin in that we will come back around to it. They are currently without several key players. Recently added to the injured list is Jeff Green, who is expected to be out this evening. And Michael Porter Jr., who is most-likely going to be sitting tonight. (Always do your due diligence and check status on both). The Nuggets are not that deep with experienced backup players folks. To be honest with you, both teams statistics as far as scoring offensively and defensively are very similar. Going back to the ATS situation for Denver, they are just 6-13 ATS the last 19 at home, 1-7 the last eight home games versus teams with a losing road record, and 7-19 ATS the last 26 following a straight up win. This is way too many points to give a game team like Houston. Take the Rockets. Thank you. |

Guys, as a 6X NCAA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPING CHAMPION, I am starting my assault on college basketball today. I have my NCAAB 51-15 LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE PLAY posted right now for just $15. When ALL of my Las Vegas sources come in with the same team as my analysts and I, it becomes a LVSM PLAY. Be on this winner and be on the same winning side as the sharpest guys in Vegas. Minnesota Golden Gophers. Game 804. 7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST. While both California Baptist and Minnesota entered this matchup 3-1 straight up at 1-3 against the spread, that is the where their similarities end. Granted, the Lancers just took down the Huskies with authority a few nights ago. But I will tell you this is not a team that could step up in class. A season ago, they took a 24-point loss at Texas, and a 24-point loss at Arizona and the first month or so of the regular season. I know Minnesota is kind of a doormat in the Big Ten. However, they do face a higher level of competition and do like to beat up on lesser opponents. A season ago, this team started the campaign rattling off seven consecutive wins, going 5-2 against the spread. And mind you, not all of those teams were inferior adversaries. They took down Western Kentucky, Princeton, Pitt, and Mississippi State. Then after a loss at Michigan State they took down Michigan. Through the season they held their own ATS against better conference opponents. Although Cal Baptist has a big strong front court, they just don’t have the depth or the athleticism to match up in this contest. They are 1-6 ATS the last seven games played overall. Meanwhile Minnesota is 6-1 ATS the last seven games played on a neutral site. Take the Golden Gophers. Thank you. |

California Golden Bears on the MONEYLINE. Game 762. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. My friends, Cal is off to their worst start in over a quarter of a century. They are 0-4 both straight up and against the spread. And really haven’t faced too many tough opponents thus far. While Texas State sandwiched two wins in between two losses thus far, they are without their 2022 top-scorer, Jalen Celestine. This is a game that they will sorely miss their biggest producer. Golden Bears head coach, Mark Fox refused media access to his players after Friday nights loss. Rumors are, he read his team and his coaching staff the riot act following their fourth consecutive loss to begin the campaign. You will see this team come out motivated and with something to prove here tonight against a lesser opponent. They’ve got a phenomenal guard in Devin Askew and a very big front court made up of strong, talented forwards. Look for the Golden Bears to make a statement here tonight and get back a little redemption as they earn their first victory. This is a short number to lay. Take California. Thank you. |

11-16-22 | Gonzaga -105 v. Texas | 74-93 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 40 m | Show | |
Gonzaga Bulldogs on the moneyline. Game 701. 6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST. In one of the most exciting matchups thus far this short college basketball campaign, we see the number two and number 11 teams in the nation face one another. The Bulldogs have won and covered all four meetings in this series. But in the most recent matchup, one year ago, they devoured the Longhorns 86-74. Both teams are off to 2-0 starts. Texas took down UTEP and Houston Christian to begin the campaign. Meanwhile Gonzaga had a warm-up beating North Florida then on aircraft carrier five days ago, they bested Michigan State. Yes, it was a close game. But the Gonzaga defense looked strong. They held MSU to 40.4% shooting from the field and 3-of-16 from downtown. Not only that, but they outmuscled the Spartans with a 40-32 advantage on the glass. And on 37 available shots they only yielded nine offensive boards. So, if you’re worried about the fact that Texas is a little physical, don’t be. The Longhorns are a good team. But I don’t feel that the Bulldogs are going to give up a loss this early in the campaign and drop in the rankings. The Longhorns have some solid talent in Hunter, Rice, and Carr. However, they are primarily a team that relies upon their back court. The Bulldogs are strong both upfront and in their back court. There superstar Drew Timme is a big physical, forward. Texas lacks that big strong presence. Their biggest guys are 6’8” maybe 6’9” and only 220 lbs. Gonzaga’s smallest forward is 225 pounds. And the entire front court is 6’8” or taller. They have one “small” forward who is just 6’7”. This is a big strong team that could beat you both inside and out. We know how good they are from beyond the arc. But this is a squad that can also outmuscle you. Texas is 2-5 ATS the last seven at home and 2-8 ATS the last 10 overall. Gonzaga is 8-2-1 ATS the last 11 on the road, and 7-1-1 the last line road games versus teams with a winning home record. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you. |

11-15-22 | Knicks v. Jazz -4 | 118-111 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 34 m | Show | |
Utah Jazz. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 550. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. Following a few of their big names departing for other teams, many didn’t expect the Utah Jazz to be very competitive this season. Well, they are currently sitting at 10-5 and playing excellent basketball. Getting them off a loss in Philadelphia a few nights ago in which Joel Embiid had one of the best nights a player has had so far this NBA campaign, and having them return home to Salt Lake where they are perfect 5-0 straight up this season, compels us to side with the Jazz. By the way they have covered four of the five at Vivint Arena. The New York Knicks are off a very rough stretch in which they play five road games out West in seven nights. They dropped a game at home on Monday to the Oklahoma City Thunder. That was their sixth straight up loss over the last nine outings. And the seventh time they failed cover in those same nine outings. On both sides of the court, they are significantly our class. While they are relatively healthy, Utah is one of the few teams currently in the NBA that are listening absolutely no injured players. The Jazz have won and covered the last three meetings in this series all quite easily. By the way, the Knicks are 0-4 ATS the last four meetings in Utah. Take Utah. Thank you. |

11-10-22 | Mavs -3 v. Wizards | 105-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Dallas Mavericks. Fast Break. Game 557. 4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST. The Dallas Mavericks were running hot, winning four ina row prior to last nights loss in Orlando. Not only was it a loss, but it was the first time this season that Luka Dončić was held under 30 points. You can expect the Mavs to come back here with a vengeance and redeem themselves as the star forward will light up the scoreboard. They will exploit the Washington Wizards on both sides of the court. Without question, both offensively and defensively Dallas is far superior. The Wizards have a problem scoring points this season, ranking 29th and accounting for just 107.0-points per game. They’re also absolutely horrible on the offensive glass. And one of the worst in the league from beyond the arc. These are each areas Dallas ranks in the top-five defensively. I just don’t feel the Wizards can keep pace offensively against the stifling Mavericks defense. Dallas is 41-18-1 ATS the last 60 games following a straight up loss and 7-3 ATS the last 10 meetings in Washington. Washington is 5-21-1 ATS the last 27 following a straight up win and 1-4-1 ATS the last six at home. Take the Mavericks. Thank you. |

11-09-22 | Suns -120 v. Wolves | 129-117 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
Phoenix Suns on the moneyline. Las Vegas Strip Move. Game 547. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. There is no doubting that the Phoenix Suns are an outstanding basketball team. They currently have a 1.5-game lead over the Los Angeles Clippers in the Pacific division. And overall, in the West they are tied with the Portland Trailblazers and the Denver Nuggets for the second-best record in the conference. They come off a loss here. Let me rephrase that, they come an embarrassing loss in Philadelphia two nights ago in which they scored a season-low 88-points. I expect this team to bounce back here with a vengeance and take their frustrations out on the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves team that they have dominated. The Suns have won five in a row straight up over the Timberwolves, going 4-1 against the spread. This includes a November 1st, 116-107 win and cover in Phoenix. Minnesota is on a 1-4 game slide both straight up and against the number. While they have a pretty decent offense, they must face one of the toughest defenses in the NBA. That’s right, Phoenix ranks second in points allowed, yielding just 103.5-points per game. When the Suns have the ball, there will be no problem for them scoring at will against a T-wolves “D” that has been getting steamrolled. Minnesota is 4-10 ATS the last 14 home games and just 1-1-5 ATS the last seven meetings at home against Phoenix. Phoenix is 7-3 ATS as the last 10 following a straight up loss. Take the Suns. Thank you. |

11-07-22 | Cavs -3.5 v. Clippers | 117-119 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers. SLAM DUNK. Game 529. 7:40 PM PST/10:40 PM EST. Guys, I honestly don’t know in what alternative universe this line should be just two-points. Cleveland is one of the best teams in the NBA at 8-1 straight up. And more importantly for our purposes, 8-1 against the spread. They have covered four straight road games during their eight-game win streak. Meanwhile Los Angeles it’s just 1-3 at the Crypto.com Arena straight up. And have failed to cover all four at home in the 2022 campaign. They currently rank 30th in the league offensively, averaging just a 102.3 points per game. They must face the third ranked Cavaliers defense yielding just 103.9 points per game. Not only that, but Cleveland also ranks second in the NBA on the defensive glass. L.A. won’t get too many second-chance shots here. When the Cavaliers have the ball, they must deal with a very formidable Clippers defense. However, being that they’re so strong defensively, I feel this will help them in transition. And they will light up the scoreboard. I mean let’s face it, they already average nearly 14-points per game more than Los Angeles. Cleveland took the last two meetings both straight up and against the spread. Los Angeles owns absolutely deplorable ATS numbers going 1-6 ATS the last seven versus teams with a winning percentage above .600, 1-5 ATS the last six following an ATS loss, and 2-7 ATS the last nine overall. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you. |

11-04-22 | Bucks -3 v. Wolves | 115-102 | Win | 100 | 17 h 45 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks. Slam Dunk. Game 547. 7:10 PM PST/1010 PM EST. The Milwaukee Bucks are the only undefeated team left in the NBA. And trust me when I tell you they will not let the Minnesota Timberwolves stand in their way of staying perfect. Not only has Milwaukee been winning, they’ve been getting us bettors paid, going 6-1 ATS. On the other hand, Minnesota has lost and failed to cover their last two outings. Granted both of those contests were on the road, but this team is giving up a lot of points. Not only that but they are one of the worst in the league on the defensive glass. This specific mismatch is going to be fatal for them here today as they face the NBA’s top-offensive rebounding squad. On the flipside, believe it or not Milwaukee tops the NBA in defense, both in points allowed and in field-goal percentage. There’s some talk Giannis might be sitting today. The latest report looks like he will play (check status). Even if the star forward does not play, I feel this team has enough talent on the floor and on the bench to stay undefeated. And for our purposes to get another ATS cover. Milwaukee is 9-3 ATS the last 12 road games, while Minnesota is 3-8 ATS the last 11 home games. Take the Bucks. Thank you. |

11-01-22 | Magic v. Thunder -3 | 108-116 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder. Slam Dunk. Game 570. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. The Thunder are playing some great basketball. Not only have they won and covered three straight, but they are 5-1 ATS this season. On the other hand, the Magic are right on course. Orlando is expected to be one of the poorest teams in the NBA this season and so far, they haven’t disappointed. They are 1-6 straight up and 2-4-1 ATS. Oklahoma City has one eight of the last nine meetings in this rivalry straight up going, 7-1 ATS the last eight matchups. While Orlando is still dealing with a slew of injuries, for the most part OKC is relatively healthy. They are much stronger offensively. They are monsters on the offensive boards as well. And will get a lot of second- chance opportunities. While Orlando has a decent defense, offensively, they are absolutely horrible. They rank at or near the bottom of the barrel in a couple of major offensive categories. This includes scoring, which they rank 28th in the league. Not only is this team winless on the road the season, going 0-5, they have also failed to cover the last seven as a visitor going back to last season. Take the Thunder. Thank you. |

10-28-22 | Jazz +9 v. Nuggets | 101-117 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 17 m | Show | |
Utah Jazz. CRASH THE BOARDS. Game 517. 6:10 PM PST/9:10 PM EST. Sports fans, Utah took down Denver at home in both teams season-openers, 123-102. Even if Collin Sexton, who is listed as questionable for this game, doesn’t play, this is still way too many points to give the Jazz. I understand that the Nuggets are in revenge-mode here and are playing at home, but it is still way too many points. On both sides of the court Utah is looking much stronger than Denver at this point. Throw into the mix that the Jazz are monsters on the offensive boards and will get a ton of second-chance shots, and I like the visiting team to possibly win outright here. But I will take the points for sure as they are 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series. Meanwhile The Nuggets are just 4-11 ATS the last 15 at home. Take Utah. Thank you. |

10-28-22 | Cavs +6 v. Celtics | 132-123 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers. FAST BREAK. Game 507. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Despite a 2-1 record, the Boston Celtics are not looking like the team that they were a season ago. Their defense is absolutely atrocious, ranking 19th, and yielding over 115.3 points per game. They’ve got a couple of cogs in the wheel that will be continuing to sit due to injuries. But they are going to be without Grant Williams. He is serving a one-game suspension. I feel they are going to be a little thin upfront against the very talented duo of Jarett Allen and Evan Mobley. And when Boston tries to adjust, this will leave Donovan Mitchell open to score at will. Look for a major mismatch from beyond the arc in this contest as well. Cleveland is hitting over 40% from downtown, while Boston is allowing over 40% from three-point land. Not only that, but the Celtics are one of the worst in the NBA right now on the offensive boards. And they must go up against one of the best defensive rebounding corps in basketball. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you. |

10-28-22 | Hornets -150 v. Magic | 93-113 | Loss | -150 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
Charlotte Hornets on the moneyline. Slam Dunk. Game 503. 4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST The Orlando Magic are one of the three remaining teams in the NBA that are winless. After today they stay that way. They are 0-5 SU and for our purposes, 1-4 ATS. This team is absolutely atrocious. They face a very hungry Charlotte Hornets squad that is 2-2 SU on the season. However, they have been money, going 3-1 against the spread. Believe it or not, the Hornets possess the top-scoring team in the NBA, averaging over 124.5 points per game. They are also number one in three-point percentage and number two in field goal percentage. I just don’t see the Magic even slowing them down in this matchup. On the other hand, Orlando ranks at or near the bottom and just about every major offensive category. They just won’t be able to keep peace in this contest. Charlotte is 15-6 ATS the last 21 meetings in Orlando, 19-7-1 ATS the last 27 on the road, and 6-1 ATS the last seven overall. Take the Hornets. Thank you. |

10-26-22 | Spurs +9.5 v. Wolves | 122-134 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
San Antonio. Fast Break. Game 549. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. Can you believe the Spurs are tied for the top-spot in the Southwest, while the Timberwolves are tied for the third spot in the Northwest? Not only is San Antonio 3-1 straight up, they’ve also covered three of their four outings this season. Minnesota, which is sitting at 2-2 has crushed sportsbettors, going 1-3 against the spread. The Spurs have won and covered three in a row, all on the road. And yet, the Timberwolves come in here nearly a double-digit favorite. These two teams just met on the same floor at the Target Center a few nights ago, when the Spurs devoured the T-Wolves 115-106. Now the odds makers of telling us that revenge is such a big factor that Minnesota is going to turn around and cover this nearly double-digit point spread. That is just ludicrous. San Antonio is money, going 8-0 ATS the last eight games played on one days rush, 6-0 ATS the last six games played following a straight up win, 15-5-1 ATS the last 21 games played on the road, and 13-3 ATS the last 16 games played overall. Take the Spurs. Thank you. |

10-26-22 | Nets v. Bucks -3.5 | 99-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
Milwaukee. Slam Dunk. Game 546. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Nothing would give the only undefeated team in the Eastern conference, the Milwaukee Bucks more pleasure then crushing the Brooklyn Nets. Both teams were touted to be contenders this season. However, after a week of play, they are certainly looking like they’re heading in opposite directions. Brooklyn is just 1-2 and have suffered some ugly defeats already. While Milwaukee is a perfect 2-0, covering both of their outings at Philadelphia and at home against Houston. The Bucks own the number one defense in the NBA, yielding just 96.5 points per game. I just don’t see the out-of-sync Nets scoring on them here. To make matters worse, once again this season Milwaukee possesses one of the best offensive rebounding squads in the league. While they rank amongst the best in basketball in field goal percentage and three-point percentage, they will get as many second-chance shots as they need in this matchup. They have won and covered five of the last six overall meetings and five of the last seven in Milwaukee. Take the Bucks. Thank you. |

10-24-22 | Nets v. Grizzlies | 124-134 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Memphis Grizzlies on the moneyline. FAST BREAK. Game 524. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. I would absolutely hate to be the Brooklyn Nets today. My friends, this is a team with a lot of big names, a large payroll, and a lot of ego. But, let’s be honest, they just aren’t meshing. And now they have to face a Memphis Grizzlies opponent which is touted once again to be one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies begin the campaign beating both the Knicks and the Rockets, two subpar teams. Saturday night they went into Dallas and got crushed 137-96 by the Mavericks. Getting them off that embarrassing loss, which Ja Morant was held to just 20-points after setting a franchise record for points in the first two games, is going to be fatal for the visitors here. Let’s not forget Memphis has won and covered the last six meetings against Brooklyn, including all three at the FedEx forum. Granted the home team is a little shorthanded without Jaren Jackson or Zaire Williams. However, Dillon Brooks is expected to make his debut tonight. I just don’t see the Nets keeping pace with the Ja Morant and the explosive Memphis offense in this matchup. Not only that but, the Grizzlies are absolutely crushing it on the boards. This is a place where the Nets certainly need improvement. Look for a big mismatch on the glass in this meeting. Brooklyn is 2-6 ATS the last eight games played on two days rest, 9-28 ATS the last 37 games played following an ATS win, and 1-4 ATS the last five games played overall. Memphis is 16-6 ATS the last 22 games played following an ATS loss, 35-16 ATS the last 51 games played on one days rest, and 21-7 ATS the last 28 games played at home. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you. |

10-23-22 | Wizards v. Cavs -3 | 107-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers. Slam Dunk. Game 508. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST This line is a little short as the odds makers are looking to trap you. They know that we all know the Cavaliers played last night in Chicago and had to had to travel back home to Cleveland for this matchup. Yes, Washington is 2-0. That is a fact. But let’s face it, they played the Bulls two evenings ago, and although they did win, they barely got the victory, eking out a 102-100 victory. Last night in Chicago, the Cavaliers demolished the Bulls, 128-96. You know after the Bucks, the Cavs are touted as the second strongest team in the Central Division. This is a very talented squad folks. They don’t commit to many turnovers, they are very accurate from the floor, whether it be around the basket or from downtown, and they also hit a high-percentage from the line. But the most impressive thing about Cleveland is once again they have a monster defense. They will frustrate the Washington squad, create turnovers, and will certainly take advantage in transition here. The Wizards are 6-20-1 ATS the last 27 following a straight up win, 4-9 ATS the last 13 on the road, and 7-19-1 ATS the last 27 played on one days rest. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you. |
