03-01-21 | North Carolina v. Syracuse +2 | Top | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
North Carolina Tar Heels are 15-8 S/U and 10-12-1 ATS on the season. The Tar Heels are just 3-6 S/U and 2-7 ATS on the road this year. They are coming off a home win over Florida State, 78-70 and a loss before that vs Marquette, 70-83. Syracuse Orange are 13-8 S/U and 8-13 ATS on the season. The Orange are 11-1 S/U and 6-6 at home. The line her today makes NCU a slight favorite. Considering the Orange are 11-1 S/U at home and NCU has a losing record on the road, I'll take the home team today. Play Syracuse. |

02-28-21 | Nevada +7.5 v. Utah State | 66-87 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
The late game on the board today has the Nevada Wolfpack playing the second of a back-to-back spot at Utah State Aggies here tonight. The Pack trailed big at times in their first game at Utah State. However, they rallied late to close the gap, but still came up on the short end of a 72-75 final score. They did cover the 9-point spread, their fifth cover in a row. The loss was also their first after winning four straight. Utah State improved to 15-7 with that win. The win also snapped a two game losing streak, both at Boise State. However, despite the win, they have failed to cover any of their last three games and are just 2-5 ATS in their last five. I like the points once again here on Sunday. Play Nevada. |

02-28-21 | North Dakota State -1 v. South Dakota | Top | 89-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 42 m | Show |
The South Dakota Coyotes where having a decent season at 13-9 S/U and 9-11-1 ATS. They have won two straight games, the last over today's North Dakota State team, 80-71, covering the 1.5 point spread. However, they could be without their best player here today in AJ Plitzuweit who was injured and likely out the rest of the season in the N.Dakota State win. The Coyotes are only one win away from the Summit league title and No 1 seed in their conference tournament. But the loss of Plitzuweit to a knee injury has really put a damper on their season. AJ Plitzuweit average 19 points per game this year and was injured late in their game. This is a huge loss for the Coyotes, one I am not sure they can rebound from. Perfect situation for North Dakota State to get the win here today. |

02-28-21 | Iowa v. Ohio State -2 | 73-57 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
Big 10 action here as Iowa Hawkeyes visit the Ohio State Buckeys. Iowa is 17-7 on the season and looking to amend for their blowout loss at Michigan on Thursday, 57-79. The loss snapped a four game win streak for Iowa. They are 14-10 ATS on the season and 5-4 on the road. Ohio State is 18-6 S/U and 13-9-1 ATS on the season. The Buckeyes are 10-2 S/U and 6-5 ATS at home. They look to snap a 2-game losing streak here today. They are coming off a loss at home to Michigan 87-92 and then at Michigan State, 67-71. They had covered five straight games before their recent skid. I like Ohio State to bounce back here today. Play Ohio State. |

02-28-21 | Pittsburgh v. NC State -7 | 62-65 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
The Pitt Panthers look to keep from falling below .500 here today at NC State. The Panthers are 9-9 S/U and 9-8-1 ATS on the season. They are 3-3 S/U and 4-2 ATS on the road. The Panthers have slumped badly of late, losing four straight games and seven of their last eight. They are also just 2-5-1 ATS during that span. NC State Wolfpack is 11-9 S/U and 9-10-1 ATS on the season. The Pack are 6-4 S/U and 3-6-1 ATS at home. They have been hot of late, winning and covering their last three games. Including in that was a win at Pitt, 74-73 which the final was really the closest Pitt ever got in that game. I like the hot team here today and that's NC State. |

Maryland has won four straight games, but those have come with two wins over Nebraska, Rutgers and Minnesota. They are 3-5 ATS in their last eight games. Michigan State has been a tough team to gauge at times this year. They have either played really well or really poor. Lately it's been the former, with three straight wins and covers to improve to 13-9 on the season. The Spartans beat three of the best in the Big 10, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio State. I'll take a chance that the Dr Jekyl and not the Mr Hyde shows up here today. Play Michigan State. |

02-27-21 | Nuggets v. Thunder +7 | 126-96 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets were expected to be doing a bit better then they are thus far. The Nuggets are 8th in the West with a 17-15 record. They will play at the 12th place OKC Thunder tonight. The Thunder trail Denver for that 8th place playoff spot by 3 1/2 games. Denver is just 2-4 S/U and 1-5 ATS in their last six games. Meanwhile, the Thunder have won two straight game and three of their last four. The Nuggets have covered just one of their last seven road games. Yet, here they are laying seven points. I'll have to take those points here tonight. Play Oklahoma City. |

They have also seen the scoring going up, with four of their last six games going over the total. They have covered six of their last seven games. The Wizards are also 11-4 ATS in their last 15 meetings with the Wolves in Washington. I'm laying the points here tonight with the host. Play Washington. |
|||||||
02-27-21 | Missouri State -5 v. Evansville | Top | 63-72 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
The Missouri State Bears improved to 15-5 last night with a win over this same Evansville team. The Bears shot nearly 70% from the field en route to their 90-81 win. They also hit 68% from 3-point arc. The defense could do better though, allowing 51% from the field and 47.6% from 3-point arc to Evansville. Still, it was the team's seventh straight win and they are 6-0-1 ATS during that streak. Evansville lost its seven in a row and is 2-4-1 during that span. I don't see anything changing here on Saturday. Play Missouri State. |
|||||||
02-27-21 | Alabama v. Mississippi State +6 | 64-59 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Alabama Crimson Tide are 18-6 S/U and 12-12 ATS on the season. They are 5-3 S/U and 3-5 ATS on the road and just 1-4 ATS when a road favorite. The Tide are coming off a loss at Arkansas, 66-81 as a 2-point dog. The Mississippi State Bulldogs have climbed to 13-11 on the season after two straight wins. The Dogs have a stingy defense and that's what gets them covers. They allow just 65.6 ppg against them overall and 63.3 ppg at home. These teams met back on Jan 23rd in Alabama with the Tide winning 81-73, but failing to cover the 9.5 point line. If the Dogs can keep this score in the lower range, they get the cover here tonight. Play Mississippi State. |
|||||||
02-27-21 | Missouri State -6.5 v. Western Illinois | 30-24 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Missouri State lost three games in the fall of 2020 before packing it in. They got beat bad by a top ranked Oklahama team, 0-48 and lost twice to Central Arkansas. Those games will give the team something to build on here in the FBC football conferences. Missouri State has a decent QB in Jaden Johnson and he has very good running back behind him in Kevon Latulas. The running game will be the big question for Western Illinois. They need more experience on the offensive line to opening up the running game here today. Western Illinois is the team I will be on Saturday, despite laying 5 to 6 points on the road. Should be a good game, but Missouri State will cover this game. Play Missouri State. |

Horizon League tournament action begins here tonight. The games are hosted by the home teams here with no neutral court. Robert Morris plays at Detroit in first round action here tonight. Robert Morris likely will see its season come to an end here tonight. The Colonials are just 4-14 S/U on the season and have no postseason in their futures.

02-23-21 | Iowa State +23.5 v. Baylor | 72-77 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
Iowa State won't be going anywhere this postseason as they sit at just 2-16 S/U and 7-11 ATS on the season. The Cyclones are 0-8 S/U and 4-4 on the road. While they have little chance of winning this game S/U, they can cover this 20+ point spread. The Baylor Bears are 17-0 S/U and 13-4 ATS on the season. They are 5-3 ATS at home. The one issue that comes into play in this game is that Baylor won't be much interested in this contest. They have a big game coming up against No 10 West Virginia on Thursday. For me, this could be one of those "look ahead" games where the Bears will sit or rest some stars with their eyes on Thursday's game. I'm going to take the big points here and see if Baylor even wants to play this game. Play Iowa State. |

The Appalachian State Mountaineers are 12-9 S/U and 8-7-1 ATS on the season. They are not so good on the road where they are just 3-5 S/U and 2-4-1 ATS on the season.

The Lakers are 22-9 S/U but have struggled of late, losing their last two games at home to Miami and Brooklyn. Lebron James and Anthony Davis have both been battling injuries. James will be fine tonight, but Davis is expected to miss with an Achilles issue. Davis is likely a big reason why they have struggled of late. The Lakers have not been good at covering spreads. They are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight overall and 1-5 ATS in their last six games at home. I'm going to stick with the Wizards here tonight who have been looking very good of late, especially with Davis out of the lineup. Play Washington. |

They are coming off a win at home over highly ranked Virginia, 66-65 as a 3-point dog. This is highly encouraged for the Blue Devils as they look to finally have turned the corner this season. I like they way they are playing and will lay the points here today on Duke. Play Duke. |

The Toronto Raptors are a team without a home. Since Canada is not allow the travel to US, the Raptors have been forced to play their home games in Florida.

The Raptors are 15-15 on the season with a 14-16 spread record. They have a three game win streak, all on the road. In fact, this will be only their second "home" game in Florida in their last 10 games. Philadelphia is 20-10 on the season with a 16-13-1 spread record. The Sixers have won two straight games after enduring a 3-game losing streak. The Sixers have also covered five of the last seven in this series.

Virginia is one of the tops in team defense and it shows in how many points they allow, 59.9 ppg overall and 58.3 ppg on the road.

They have only been home dogs four times and they are 4-0 both S/U and ATS when installed as the home dog as they are today.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been struggling, losing five straight games both S/U and ATS. This has come as PG Jrue Holiday has been out with Covid quarantine issues. He is listed as questionable for tonight's contest. They look like they have really missed his presence. The OKC Thunder have lost two straight games, but have covered four of their last six games. The Thunder have been a good road dog, going 35-16 in their last 51 in that role. The Thunder have also covered seven of the last 10 meetings with the Bucks in Milwaukee.

PAC 12 action here on Thursday has the Utah Utes playing at the Cal Bears. The Utes are 8-7 S/U and 7-8 ATS on the season. The Utes have won two straight games over Colorado and then last game at home over Arizona, 73-58 as a 1.5-point dog. The Cal Bears are 7-14 S/U and have lost six straight games. They are covering better though at 5-2 ATS their last seven. The Bears have been a very good home team, going 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 as home dog. Utah likely the slightly better team, but can't overlook the way this Cal team covers spreads. Play California. |

02-10-21 | Hornets +4 v. Grizzlies | 114-130 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
The Charlotte Hornets are 12-13 S/U and 14-11 ATS overall. They are 5-6 S/U and 7-4 ATS on the road this season. The Hornets have LaMelo Ball playing great and a leading candidate for rookie of the Year. Ball has started the last five games and hit seven, 3-point shots in the teams win over Houston, 119-94. The defense has also been playing very well, ranking in the top 10 in the NBA in points allowed per game. Memphis is 9-10 S/U and 9-9-1 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies are just 3-7 S/U and 3-6-1 ATS at home this season. They have lost four straight games both S/U and ATS. The Grizzlies are also battling the injury bug this season with three players yet to log a minute this year and F Brandon Clarke missing Monday's game with a calf injury. Too many issues going on with this Memphis team. Take Charlotte. |

02-10-21 | Raptors -5 v. Wizards | 137-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
The Toronto Raptors are just 11-3 S/U and 10-14 ATS on the season. However, they have played much better of late, going 4-1 S/U and ATS in their last five games (four of which have been on the road). Meanwhile, Washington returns home after a four-game road trip which they split 2-2 both S/U and ATS. The Wizards coming off a win over the Bulls, 105-101 as a 4.5-point dog. The Raptors have covered five of their last seven road games while the Wizards are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. I like the way Toronto has been playing and will go with them here today. Play Toronto. |

02-10-21 | Wichita State -2 v. UCF | 61-60 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Wichita State is 11-4 on the season, winning three straight games and five of their last six games. However, they have failed to cover in any of their last four games and are 4-4 ATS their last eight. The Shockers might shock some teams come NCAA time as they are flying under the radar right now. Central Florida Knights are just 5-9 S/U and 7-7 ATS on the season. They have won just two of their last 10 games and are 4-6 ATS during that span.

The Indiana Hoosiers look to build on their win over Iowa last game, 67-65 as a 3-point dog. The Hoosiers will continue to lean on Race Thompson, who has averaged 14.7 ppg the last three games. Meanwhile, Northwestern has been in a free fall, losing nine straight games and covered just one of those. The Hoosiers are now 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games while Northwestern is just 10-21-1 ATS in their last 32 home games. Play Indiana |

02-09-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Vegas Golden Knights had to take some time off because Covid had infiltrated their coaching staff and players. Vegas played against St Louis on Jan 26 without any regular coaching staff, they had to pull from their minor league team the Henderson Silver Knights. After that game they had to wait until Feb 5 to resume play and still miss their star defenseman Alex Pietrangelo who is still out with Covid protocols. The Knights still returned to their winning ways with wins over the LA Kings, 5-2 and 4-3. They are rotating their goalies and tonight we should see Marc-Andre Fluery who has been exceptional between the pipes this year. The Kings are 2-0 against Anaheim this year, winning 2-1 and 5-2. Anaheim is 2-4 their last six games. I like VGK here tonight on the puck line with Flower in the pipes. Play Vegas -1.5 pucks. |

The team is 0-5 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the road this year. The TCU Horned Frogs are 10-7 S/U and 7-9-1 ATS this season. The Frogs snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Oklahoma State, 81-78.

Houston Rockets have lost two games in a row, including last night at Charlotte, 94-119. They have also failed to cover their last two games and three of the last four. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans are 3-0 both S/U and ATS in their last three games. They played two nights ago at home and beat Memphis, 118-109. Rockets are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games with no rest. Conversely, the Pelicans will play tonight on two nights rest, where they are 8-3 ATS their last 11 times in that roll. In addition, they are 5-2 ATS their last seven games overall. Take the home club here tonight. Play New Orleans. |
|||||||
02-08-21 | Wolves v. Mavs -9.5 | 122-127 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |

The Mavs have had the best of it lately in this series, covering seven of the last eight meetings and four of the last five in Dallas. I'll take the Mavs here tonight. |

|||||||
02-07-21 | Chiefs -3 v. Bucs | 9-31 | Loss | -106 | 31 h 33 m | Show | |
Really you can make a valid argument for either side in this Super Bowl 55. Both have Super Bowl winning QB's leading them Both teams have been red-hot both winning and scoring points. You could give an edge to the Bucs since they are playing at home, but that would have been more impressive with a Stadium full of fans. Still, this game promises to be filled with offense and excitement. For me, I'm sticking with the Chiefs here on Sunday. I like the younger Patrick Mahomes and it always seems like Andy Reid has some tricks up his sleeve for these games. I expect a close battle here but I'll be on the Chiefs in this one. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Quinnipiac v. Fairfield +3.5 | 78-63 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
The Quinnipiac Bobcats are 4-6 S/U and 5-5 ATS on the season. The Cats snapped a four game losing streak last time out at home against Niagara, 78-69. The issue is that game came back on January 23, some 15 days ago. The team is likely out of game shape a bit here today and probably rusty also. Fairfield is just 3-12 S/U and 5-9 ATS on the season. They also haven't played since January so same issues will likely plague the Stags also. They did win that last game at Marist, 55-52 as a 5-point dog. The question is which team will be more in game mode here today. I'm considering that Fairfield is at home in this and getting points. I'll take that here today. Play Fairfield. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Drexel v. Hofstra -3.5 | Top | 74-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
These teams met yesterday at Hofstra with the Drexel Dragons taking a close game, 73-71 as a 3.5-point road dog. Drexel won by just two points even though they shot 62% from the field and held Hofstra to 37%. You would think with that kind of differential the score would have been much more in the Dragons favor. Drexel also shot 62.5% from the 3-point stripe while holding Hofstra to just 43%. So here we are today, Drexel too game one on the road, way out shot Hofstra and yet narrowly won by just two points. I look for Hofstra to bounce back in a big way here today. This one might not be close. Play Hofstra. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Tennessee v. Kentucky +4 | Top | 82-71 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
The Tennessee Volunteers dropped to 12-4 S/U with a loss at Ole Miss last Tuesday, 50-52 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Vols are just 2-3 S/U and 1-4 ATS over their last five games. Now they have to play at Kentucky. The Wildcats having a very off season at just 5-11 and have lost five of their last six games. The Cats are 3-3 S/U and 2-4 ATS at home this season. Kentucky is also just 4-5 in the SEC this season. We have to give the Cats a bit of a pass though, having played the nation's 7th toughest schedule. With Tennessee winning just one road game since December and now they are laying points. I'll take Kentucky here today. Play Kentucky |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Drake -12.5 v. Valparaiso | 80-77 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
Drake Bulldogs having a excellent season at 17-0 S/U and 13-1-0 ATS on the season. They are equally as impressive on the road where they are 6-0 S/U and 5-0 ATS. It's no wonder they will be laying double digits here away from home. However, they are fully up to the task as they can score points in bunches. Valparaiso Crusaders will likely be more than a small speed bump in the road today. The Crusaders are just 6-11 S/U and 5-10 ATS on the season. They are slightly better at home with a 4-3 S/U and 2-3 ATS mark. They have lost two straight games, both to Evansville on the road. I have no problems laying the points here on the road with one of the best teams in the country. Play Drake. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Towson +3.5 v. College of Charleston | 88-90 | Win | 100 | 2 h 28 m | Show | |
The Towson State Tigers are just 3-10 S/U and 3-9 ATS on the season. The Tigers look to snap a five-game losing streak here today. They are coming off a losing doubleheader against William and Mary. That's the bad news. The good news is that they are playing College of Charleston here today. The Cougars are just 5-8 S/U and 3-9 ATS on the season. They are 4-5 S/U and 2-6 ATS at home this year. Two poor teams here today. The dog is the way to go here today as neither team should be laying any points. Take Towson. |
|||||||
02-05-21 | Jazz v. Hornets +8.5 | Top | 138-121 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Utah Jazz improved to 17-5 S/U and 15-7 ATS on the season with their win Thursday night at Atlanta, 112-91. It was the team's second straight win and their 13th in their last 14 games. They are playing back-to-back nights though, which is always tough. The Charlotte Hornets are 10-12 S/U and 12-10 ATS on the season. The Hornets have won three of tehir last four games both S/U and ATS. The Hornets had last night off after losing to Philly on Wednesday night, 111-118. The Hornets are also 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games as a home dog. Not easy to play the 2nd of a back-to-back spot like the Jazz are doing tonight. I'll take the generous points with the host here. Play Charlotte. |
|||||||
02-05-21 | Cleveland State v. Oakland -1 | 80-72 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
The Cleveland State Vikings look to win their third straight game here tonight at Oakland. The Vikings are coming off a sweep of Wisconsin Green Bay at home. That improved the club to 12-5 S/U and 12-3-1 ATS on the season. They are 5-4 S/U and 5-2-1 ATS on the road this year. The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are 8-13 S/U and 13-7 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies are 4-2 both S/U and ATS at home this season. Oakland is also coming off a 2-game sweep of IUPU-Ft Wayne on the road. It was the team's fifth win in their last six games both S/U and ATS. Oakland a small home favorite here tonight, something they have excelled at as evidenced by their 7-0 mark their last seven games in that role. I'll take the home team here tonight. Play Oakland. |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Nuggets +5.5 v. Lakers | 93-114 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets are 12-8 on the season and in 4th place in the NBA West. Right ahead of them are the 16-6 LA Lakers. Both teams have won seven of their last 10 games, both teams have been playing well. Denver has been covering well, doing so in six of their last seven games. The Lakers have failed to cover in each of their last four games and are just 3-5 ATS at home this season. The LA Lakers will battle all season with their two super stars having injury issues. Lebron James has a ankle problem and Anthony Davis has a Quad issue. Both are probable here tonight, though I'm sure each will see extra time off. I'm going to take the points here tonight with a surging Denver team. |

02-04-21 | Stanford -5 v. California | 70-55 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
PAC-12 action here tonight has a Northern Cal battle between Stanford and Cal. The Stanford Cardinal are 10-7 S/U and 7-8-1 ATS on the season. They are also 4-4 S/U and 2-5 ATS on the road. The Cardinal look to snap a 2-game losing streak here tonight after dropping their last game at home to USC, 66-72. California Bears are dropping fast, now losing four straight and eight of their last 10 games. The Bears are just 7-12 S/U 9-9 ATS on the season. They are slightly better at home where they are 5-4 S/U and 6-3 ATS. However, they are just 1-4 S/U at home when installed as the dog as they are here tonight. Stanford has won both games on the road where they were favored. I look for the Cardinal to cover here tonight at Cal. Play Stanford. |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Senators v. Canadiens -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -114 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
I don't think there is much argument that the Ottawa Senators are the worst team in the NHL. They have won just a single game, they are 1-8-1 overall with just three points, have lost nine games in a row and have the worst goal differential in the league (-24). Now they have to play at the top team in the North Division, Montreal. The Canadians are 7-1-2 overall with 16 points and have won two straight games. They also have the best goal differential in the league. I'm going to play this game on the puck line and get a very good price with it. Play Montreal -1.5 pucks. |

02-04-21 | Austin Peay v. Eastern Kentucky -2 | Top | 94-79 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
The Austin Peay Governors are 10-6 S/U and 6-7 ATS on the season. The Governors are also 4-1 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the road. They have won two straight games including Monday's win over Southern Illinois, 74-59. They have already played Eastern Kentucky once this year, back on January 2nd, a 75-80 loss at home as a 4.5-point favorite. The Eastern Kentucky Colonels are 14-2 S/U and 10-2-2 ATS on the season. The Colonels are having a fine season, undefeated at home with a 8-0 S/U mark and 3-1-2 ATS record. They have won nine straight games. They are also 6-0-2 ATS in their last eight games. I really like this Eastern Kentucky team and will lay the points with them here tonight. Play Eastern Kentucky. |

In fact, they swept their two games at Dallas and covered both. The New Orleans Pelicans are just 7-12 S/U on the season as they look to snap a two-game losing streak here tonight. The Pelicans are just 4-5 S/U and 3-6 ATS at home this season. The Pelicans are now 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games against a team with a winning road record. I like the visitor here tonight. Play the Suns. |

Virginia Cavaliers having a excellent season at 11-3 S/U and 7-6 ATS on the season. The Cavs will look to rebound from a loss though, having lost at Virginia Tech last time out, 51-65 as a 5-point favorite. That was the Cavs first loss in four road games both S/U and vs the number. The Cavs continue to be one of the best covering road teams, now 30-13-1 in their last 44 away games. The NC State Wolfpack are 7-6 S/U and 5-8 ATS on their season. The Pack have lost five of their last six games including last time out at Syracuse, 73-76. They have also covered just one of their last seven games and two fo the last 10. I look for Virginia to bounce back here tonight with a win and cover. Play Virginia. |

02-03-21 | Rockets -6.5 v. Thunder | 87-104 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Houston Rockets started the season very poorly, going 4-9 S/U. However, since then, the Rockets have won six straight games and covered five of those six. Their most recent win coming at Oklahoma City, 136-106. The Oklahoma City Thunder look to snap a two-game losing streak here tonight. The Thunder are just 8-11 S/U and 10-8-1 ATS on the season. The Thunder have really struggled at home, going just 1-7 S/U and 2-6 ATS. Rockets have momentum coming into tonight's contest and I'll be on that side. Play Houston. |

The Bulldogs are 9-6 S/U and 7-3-1 ATS on the season. They are 8-2 S/U and 5-1-0 ATS at home. Citadel getting over 10 points at home tonight looks to be way too many for a Bulldogs team that has been winning and covering at home. Play The Citadel. |

02-03-21 | Red Wings v. Lightning -1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
The Detroit Pistons will have to improve and fast if they hope to be in the postseason. Detroit is dead last in the Central Division with a 2-6-2 record. They have the worst goal differential in the division at -15 and have lost six straight games. They are also 0-3-1 on the road. Defending champion Tampa Bay is tied for 2nd in the Central division with 11 points and a 5-1-1 record. The Lightning have won two straight games. I don't expect much of a fight here tonight from the Red Wings. I'll lay the 1.5-goals with Tampa Bay. |

The Memphis Grizzlies are 9-6 S/U and 9-5-1 ATS on the season. They have been hot, winning seven straight games and going 6-0-1 ATS during that span.

The Pacers have lost two straight games including their last game at home to the Sixers, 110-119. The Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams right now in the NBA, yet they are getting 4 1/2 points here today. That's too much to pass on for me. Play Memphis. |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Lakers v. Hawks +5.5 | 107-99 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
The LA Lakers could be without one or both of their super star players here tonight in Atlanta. Lebron James and Anthony Davis are both listed as questionable with injuries. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks will have the services of Trae Young here tonight as he is expected to play. Young is a huge part of this Atlanta offense, averaging 27 points per game this year. Even with James and Davis play, expect them to see fewer minutes with those nagging injuries. I'll take the points here tonight with the hosts. Play Atlanta. |

02-01-21 | Bradley -2 v. Indiana State | 55-67 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Bradley Braves have dropped to .500 at 9-9 on the season after a five-game losing streak. The Braves dropped game one of this back-to-back series with Indiana State on Sunday, 57-60 against a pick'em line. Bradley has a good team, but has fallen onto some hard times. They look to get back on the winning ways today against Indiana State. The Indiana State Sycamores are 9-7 S/U on the season. They are 7-3 S/U at home and 4-5 ATS. They have won five straight games. It's difficult to win both games in these back-to-back series, especially against a slightly better opponent as Bradley is here today. I look for Bradley to bounce back and take game two here today. Play Bradley. |

01-31-21 | Loyola-Chicago v. Missouri State +6.5 | 72-46 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
Loyola Chicago having a fine season thus far at 13-3 S/U and 10-3-1 ATS. They face their stiffest competition here today in Missouri State. The Ramblers have won six straight games and are 5-0-1 ATS in those wins. The Missouri State Bears are 9-3 S/U and 7-3 ATS on the season. They look to snap a two-game losing streak, both coming at the hands of Drake. The Bears are 6-2 S/U and 4-2 ATS at home this season. Again, with both those losses coming to Drake. Missouri State's nice spread record dates back to last season where they have covered 15 of their last 20 overall and eight of their last 11 at home. The dog has covered the last four in this series and that would be the home team here today. Play Missouri State. |

01-31-21 | Michigan State +6.5 v. Ohio State | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 28 m | Show | |
Big 10 action here today as Michigan State takes on Ohio State. The Michigan State Spartans are 8-5 S/U and 3-10 ATS on the season. They have lost two straight games against Purdue and last time at Rutgers, 37-67. They will look to rebound here today at Ohio State. The Buckeyes are 13-4 S/U and 8-7-1 ATS on the season. They are also 8-1 S/U and 4-4 ATS at home. The Buckeyes have struggled covering spreads at home, failing on their last two attempts. For me, the line is a bit high here today at 6.5 to 7.5 on Ohio State. I'll take the points. |

01-30-21 | New Mexico v. Fresno State -6.5 | 55-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
New Mexico is having a rough season in more than one way. The Lobos are 5-10 S/U and have to play all their games on the road since the State of New Mexico is not allowing any sports to be played. So here they are, playing yet again on the road at Fresno State. They lost to the Bulldogs on Thursday night, 62-64 in a game that went back and forth the entire night. New Mexico has now lost 10 of their last 12 games and covered just four of the last 12. The Bulldogs of Fresno State climbed back to the .500 mark with that win over New Mexico. It also snapped a three game losing streak to the top teams in the conference, Boise State and Nevada. Don't expect tonight's contest to be as close as Thursday's. Take Fresno State. |
