01-13-23 | Nuggets v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 115-103 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Denver at LA Clippers 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Nuggets- LA had lost six straight games until the return of Kawhi Leonard and he help end that losing streak by scoring 33 points his season high and grabbed nine rebounds. Denver is tied for first place in the Western Conference have defeated the Clippers twice already this season including a 122-91 trouncing a week ago in Denver. The Nuggets have four in-a-row and 14 of 17 as they are No. 1 in 3-point FG and No. 2 in FG percentages. There is a gray cloud among all they good and it is that the Nuggets are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and the Clippers are 6-2 ATS following a SU win. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

01-13-23 | Michigan State v. Illinois -6 | Top | 66-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
Michigan State at Illinois 9:00 ET Illini (-) over Spartans- I am starting to see what it was that made Illinois such a highly rated team as they are starting to perform better on the court. Their last two times out they won and covered as Power Play winners over Wisconsin and at Nebraska. Michigan State who started 5-4 have won seven straight going 6-1 ATS and I think the points are an inducement to take the Spartans. MSU has a better record but the teams stats say different. The Illini are beginning to roll as they are 8-3 ATS following a win by 20 points or more and they are 6-2 ATS at home. Take ILLINOIS! |

01-13-23 | Warriors -8.5 v. Spurs | 144-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Golden State at San Antonio 8:00 ET Warriors (-) over Spurs- Stephen Curry is back after an 11-game absence for the Warriors who have lost their at three. With over 63,000 fans ready to fill the Alamo Dome Curry was not about to miss this opportunity to showcase his skills. San Antonio has dropped their last three and six of seven as the Spurs defense is last in points allowed and with Curry back I expect the Warriors to run out the Spurs. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

01-13-23 | Hawks -1.5 v. Pacers | 113-111 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Indiana 7:00 ET Hawks over Pacers- These two clubs are streaking but in different directions at the Pacers who just lost at New York on Wednesday have still managed to win six of their last eight games. Atlanta who lost at home to Milwaukee last night were without Trae Young and have dropped six of their last eight but expect the All-Star to play tonight. The Hawks are 5-2 ATS in their last seven trips to Indiana and maybe that is why they are favored with a lesser record on the road. Take ATLANTA! |

01-12-23 | Stanford +2.5 v. Washington | 69-86 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Stanford at Washington 11:00 ET Cardinal (+) over Huskies- The best thing about this contest is that one of these teams has got to win. A pair of cellar dwellers are will be fighting for their first Pac-12 victory as Stanford has dropped their last five (all conference games) and the Huskies have also lost five straight but just four of those are conference losses. These two split their games last season both winning on their home court. Washington is just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games while the Cardinal is 0-2 SU and 1-1 ATS on the road. Take STANFORD. |

Utah at UCLA 11:00 ET Bruins (-) over Utes- No. 7 UCLA is on an 11-game win streak after a close win over rival USC a game in which they were double-digit favorites. Oregon as the Bruins started 5-0 in Pac-12 action but fell 70-60 at home to Oregon last time out. The Bruins have won the last five meetings. Utah is 0-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records while UCLA is 4-1 ATS against teams with winning records. The home team is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Take UCLA! |

Colorado at USC 9:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Trojans- Starting in Pac-12 play USC was 3-0 until their long road trip ended with a pair of losses to Washington State and UCLA after a seven game win streak. Colorado has won their last two against both Oregon schools and seven of their last eight games. USC returns home for their first game as hosts since Dec. 18 and they come back to a place where they are 7-19 ATS as hosts and they are 3-9 ATS after an ATS win. Add the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take COLORADO! |

01-12-23 | Bucks v. Heat -4 | Top | 102-108 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Miami 7:00 ET Heat (+) over Bucks-Here is something for you that I have never seen before and doubt we’ll ever see again and that is the Miami Heat going 40-for-40 from the free throw line as a team. Milwaukee who started the year 9-0 haven’t been so impressive since but did pull out a win at Atlanta last night out-scoring the Hawks 13-2 in the final two minutes. The Bucks will be without Grayson Allen who turned his ankle last night missing the entire second half. The heat have the leagues No. 2 defense allowing just 109 PPG while the Bucks who were the scoring leaders last season are averaging 112.4 PPG and are ranked below the top half at No. 19 offensively. Bucks are 3-7-1 AYS in the last 11 road games while the Heat are 4-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take MIAMI! |

01-11-23 | Bucks v. Hawks +3 | Top | 114-105 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee is coming off a 111-107 win at New York where they erased a 17-point deficit and they are elated with the win as Antetokounmpo had a poor shooting night (6-15) and scored just 22 points. The Bucks were especially pleased as they did it without two key components in Serge Ibaka and Khris Middelton who are sidelined. I’m expecting a bit of a let down here from them and I’m looking for the Hawks to fly over them tonight. Atlanta has won two of the last three meetings and four straight at home and are 16-5 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take ATLANTA! |

01-11-23 | Virginia Tech -2.5 v. Syracuse | 72-82 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech at Syracuse 7:00 ET Hokies over Orange- This looks a little funny to me as Virginia Tech who started the season 11-1 with a win over North Carolina has lost four in-a-row and now come up favored on the road at Syracuse. The Orange who had won seven of eight before falling to Virginia Saturday seem to be fading as the years go on like their coach Jim Boeheim ages. Why the Hokies to come up favored here is a mystery as they are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 road games against teams with winning records...so why here? Well, the Orange (a fruit of color) are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with winning records. Stalemate...Nah it’s VIRGINIA TECH |
|||||||
01-11-23 | Indiana +2 v. Penn State | 66-85 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Indiana at Penn State 7:00 ET Indiana (+) over Nittany Lions- After struggling to reach the Top-25 the past few seasons Indiana was back among the ranked teams...until an 84-83 home loss to Northwestern. Penn State is off a loss to No.1 Purdue where they led by seven at the half and were outscored by 20-points in the second half. Unlike the gridiron where the Lions rule on the hardwood it is the Hoosiers who are dominate as they led the all-time series 42-13. Both clubs struggling against the points as the Hoosiers are 0-6 ATS in their last six and Penn State is 1-4 ATS in their last five overall. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-11-23 | Creighton +3 v. Xavier | Top | 87-90 | Push | 0 | 6 h 46 m | Show |
Creighton at Xavier 7:00 ET Bluejays (+) over Musketeers- Former Arizona coach Sean Miller has taken the reins at Xavier and he has already accomplished feats that the Musketeers have not repeated in 66 years. Xavier not only won their first ever Big East win at Villanova it was the first win in Philadelphia since 1956 (how bout dat). So, maybe you can see the X-men getting a bit full of themselves especially with a struggling Bluejays club that had lost six in-a-row, won three and then was upended by Connecticut Saturday. The Musketeers are 5-0 in Big East play for the first time and that euphoria won’t last long. Note that Bluejays are 9-2 ATS on the road against teams with winning records higher than 60% and the underdog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Take CREIGHTON! |
|||||||
01-10-23 | North Carolina v. Virginia -4.5 | 58-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Virginia 9:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Tar Heels- Virginia had won seven straight in this series until last season when the Tar Heels swept winning both games by double-digits. After a slow start North Carolina has won six of seven but are 0-3 in road games while Virginia is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall but are 7-1 SU at home with that loss to No. 5 Houston a week before Christmas. The Tar Heels were preseason No. 1 but a 4-game slide dropped them out of the rankings. The Cavs were ranked as high as No. 4 but are a respectable No. 12 but still burn money. UNC is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games and Virginia is 0-6 ATS in last six at home. But, how bout dis the home team is 24-9-1 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Take VIRGINIA! |

01-10-23 | Illinois -3.5 v. Nebraska | 76-50 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Illinois at Nebraska 9:00 ET Illini (-) over Cornhuskers- Yup, Illinois has been the model of inconsistency and I love it. We are a perfect 4-0 with and against the Illini including their win over Wisconsin on Saturday. The number just stack up heavily against Nebraska here as Illinois ranks high on offense, on defense , rebound and even where they are weak in free throws. The Cornhuskers have not been a factor in football for about a decade now but they have never been a factor on the basketball court and are not now either. The trends are overwhelming for the huskers so I won’t let you see them. Still, it is ILLINOIS! |
|||||||
01-10-23 | Texas Tech v. Iowa State -5.5 | 50-84 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Iowa State 8:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Cyclone- Iowa State is undefeated (3-0) in Big-12 action and it has been all defense under T.J. Otzelberger as they only allow 58.2 points ranked No. 8. They are also 8-0 at home with conference wins over TCU, Baylor and Texas. Texas Tech who was know for their defense is 0-3 in Big-12 play but have not been at full strength. The Red Raiders have won the last two meetings and 8 of the past ten. But, they are ailing and are 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with winning records including 0-6-1 ATS on the road. Add that the favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take IOWA STATE! |

01-10-23 | Thunder +2.5 v. Heat | 111-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City at Miami 7:00 ET Thunder (+) over Heat- All of a sudden it looks to me like the bookmakers are giving much more respect to the Thunder. Last time out they were favored over Dallas by 4.5 and won and covered easily 120-109. Now, they are a small dog at Miami were the Heat are always tough. OKC is just 5-13 SU on the road but a winning 10-8 ATS. Miami has a mirror image record at home where they are 11-9 SU but just 6-13-1 ATS. The Thunder are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 road games and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
01-10-23 | Florida v. LSU | Top | 67-56 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
Florida at LSU 7:00 ET Gators (+) over Tigers- Now this makes no sense whats-so-ever as the 8-7 Gators are favored at LSU who is 12-3 on the season including a perfect 9-0 at home. The odds makers have not been giving LSU any respect at all and not just here they were made an 11-point underdog at Kentucky while the Wildcats were 8-4 and the Tigers were 12-1 (Cats won at final moments 74-71). Florida has been over-rated as much as the Tigers are under-rated and they have dropped 3-of-4 both SU and ATS. The Gators are 6-13 ATS in last 19 overall and and horrific 5-17 ATS against winning teams while the Tigers are 5-2 ATS against winning teams. The best thing that I can say for support is that the road team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Hold your breath and take FLORIDA! |

01-10-23 | Oklahoma State v. Kansas State -5 | 57-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at Kansas State 7:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Wildcats- The hottest team in college basketball has got to be Kansas State as they a have won eight in-a-row and the last three wins were over ranked opponents two of which came on the road. The 14-1 Wildcats were pick to finish last in the Big-12 and were un-ranked until this week and they entered at No. 11. That is a huge jump in any sport and they may not be able to live up to that now that they have gained attention. The Wildcats have scored 213 points in their last two games and will be up against the No.2 defense in the Big-12 allowing just 61.5 PPG. The road team is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six as well. Even with their powerful offense the wildcats are just 2-7 ATS after scoring 90 points or better. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

01-09-23 | Lakers v. Nuggets -9.5 | Top | 109-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
LA Lakers at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Lakers- With a healthy Lebron James and an injured Anthony Davis sidelined the Lakers have won five straight a season high. LeBron it could be said is the MVP every time he takes the court but the reining two-time MVP is playing for Denver and Nikola Jokic has averaged a triple-double since late November and he is averaging 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 9.5 assists and has had 10 Triple-doubles. The Lakers defense is No. 27 and the Nuggets will exploit this in the Mile High City as they are 4-13-1 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six trips to Denver. The Nuggets has won and covered their last four at home and tonight make five. Take DENVER! |

01-09-23 | TCU v. Georgia -12 | Top | 7-65 | Win | 100 | 52 h 14 m | Show |
TCU vs Georgia 7:30 ET Bulldogs (-) over Horned Frogs- It has been a beautiful ride for 200-to-1 Horned Frogs but they will seem like toads after the way Georgia tough tenacious bulldog defense closes them down. Yeah, that defense that has allowed 71 points their last two games and yet they still rank fifth nationally in scoring defense at 14.6 PPG. TCU is tied for fourth nationally scoring 41.1 PPG but may be without their leading rusher Kendre Miller (1,399 yard rushing and 17 TDS. He will be missed and the Bulldogs defense will hone in on QB Max Duggan who wasn’t even the opening day starter. Yeah, this Sonny Dykes is a genie. Duggan had 41 touchdown passes before this his senior season and Dykes had him benched before the season started. TCU is 5-11 ATS in last 16 games at neutral sites while Dogs are 8-3 ATS in last 11 bowl games and 15-7 on neutral sites. Okay, enough of all that. The line is ridiculously high and there is a reason for that...take GEORGIA! |

01-09-23 | Bucks v. Knicks +1 | 111-107 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee at 26-15 may seem to be on track but they have been terribly inconsistent this season especially on defense. It is hard to play defense night in and night out and the Bucks after being in the top three last season has dropped to No. 11 allowing 112 points per game. The last time out the Bucks allowed an NBA record 51 first quarter points to lowly Charlotte. New York has been streaky all season and currently have won their last four and are 9-2-1 ATS after a straight up win while the Bucks are 2-6 ATS after scoring 100 points or more the previous game and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
01-09-23 | Bulls v. Celtics -8 | 99-107 | Push | 0 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Chicago at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bulls- Boston is the only NBA club with a 70% winning average and are feeling good about their last two game a pair of wins in Texas over Dallas and San Antonio. Chicago has won their last two games and although the Bulls lost their first meeting this season the responded at Boston they snapped the Celtics season long nine-game winning streak with 121-107 home victory. Boston has the leagues top offense averaging 118.8 PPG. and the Bulls defense is ranked No. 20. so look for the Celts to take advantage as Chicago is 7-16 ATS on the road against teams winning 60% or more. Take BOSTON! |

01-08-23 | Hawks +3.5 v. Clippers | 112-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Atlanta at LA Clippers 9:00 ET Hawks (+) over Clippers- LA understands that they and will play with and without key players for the season. Paul George, Kawai Leonard, Luke Kennard and Norman Powell are excluded from playing more than a few games in a row and they never really have a full squad ready to play. The Hawks themselves have lost five of six and their run of four consecutive California games ends here with a win. Hawks are 4-1 ATS following a loss of 10-points while the Clippers are 1-4 ATS after a loss of 10-points. Take ATLANTA |

01-08-23 | Lions +5 v. Packers | 20-16 | Win | 100 | 23 h 8 m | Show | |
Detroit at Green Bay 8:20 ET Lions (+) over Packers-Now it is the Packers who are hot and the Lions have won seven of nine after a 1-6 start and Green Bay has had to win their last four to get into this contest which is actually a play-in game. Detroit behind Jared Goff has the No. 4 offense in the entire NFL and are averaging 384 YPG while the packers have been in and out and are ranked No. 16 as Goff has out-performed Rodgers. The Lions have come on strong and are 12-2 ATS versus the NFC North and they are 8-1 ATS overall last nine and they are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take DETROIT! |

01-08-23 | Wolves v. Rockets +2.5 | Top | 104-96 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
Minnesota at Houston 7:00 ET Rockets (+) over Timberwolves- Minnesota who is on just their third 3-game win streak has been one of the more disappointing teams in the NBA (at least in my eyes) as their off-season moves may have ruined a working chemistry.They have had five losing streaks of three or more this season. Houston who is so young have shown flashes of talent despite losing their last eight games and 11-of-12. Whoa, they better start putting something together soon...like right now, tonight! The Rockets actually have a better overall ATS then do the T’wolves at 19-20 while Minny is 17-23. Take HOUSTON |

01-08-23 | Nets v. Heat +3.5 | 102-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Miami 6:00 ET Heat (+) over Nets- I have said it before and I still can not get bye my disdain for some of the talent on the Brooklyn Nets and having a bias in this business does not lead to winners. But we forge ahead because the numbers call for it and so does the situation. The Nets winners in 13 of their last 14 led by Kevin Durant who has just taken over the offense with Kyrie Irvins just trying to not get to close to the edge of the earth. The Heat are 9-4 in their last 13 and will a healthy Jimmy Butler to harass Durant the best he could. The Heat return home after a five-game 10 day western road swing. Take MIAMI! |

Purdue at Penn State 6:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Boilermakers- We have been against the Boilermakers twice since they were deemed No. 1 in the country and we are 2-0 in those two contests and they say that the third time is a charm so once again we will take the points with the home underdog. The Boilermakers are 7-18-3 ATS overall and 6-17-3 ATS in their last 26 after a SU win. Lions 24-11-1 ATS in last 36 games overall. Take PENN STATE! |

01-08-23 | Chargers v. Broncos -3 | Top | 28-31 | Push | 0 | 20 h 6 m | Show |
LA Chargers at Denver 4:25 ET Bronco (-) over Chargers- This one belongs in the you have got to be kidding me category. Think about it, think about what we have seen out of Denver and Russell Wilson and then think of what we have seen Justin Herbert do. Now, think of how many points LA is favored by over the 4-12 Broncos whose offense is so inept they set an NFL record for fewest points by a team after 10 games and they still scored just 16 PPG. Chargers are locked-in there playoff spot and will be resting. Well, one thing is that The Broncos have always played the Chargers tough as they are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and they are 5-1 ATS in six meetings at home.Take DENVER! |

01-08-23 | Giants v. Eagles -15 | Top | 16-22 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 30 m | Show |
New York Giants at Philadelphia 4:25 ET Eagles (-) over Giants- Oh man what a slaughter...a massacre, a killing, a brutal murder that is only a few of the terms that will be used when describing the final result of this contest. There will be no contest! I don’t care who is the Eagles quarterback because their defense will disassemble New York offense especially with the limited time that’s gong to be given to the starters for New York. A win for Philadelphia will assure them the No. 1 seed and a bye week. After two losses they are ready to re-establish their NFC dominance. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

01-08-23 | Browns +2.5 v. Steelers | 14-28 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Steelers- If turn-about is fair play then this one should work out just fine. It was in the final Monday Night game last season when the favored Browns when into to Pittsburgh and were eliminated from the payoffs and Mike Tomlin insured himself another winning season. This time around the Browns are already out of the post season and Pittsburgh needs a win here to have a shot. This to me makes the line very shallow as the home team is motivated incentive and a reason to play. Pittsburgh needs to win and for the Patriots to lose to Buffalo (very possible) and for the Jets to beat Miami also very possible. The Steelers have won three straight to get into this position as most thought (as did I ) that they were dead in the water a month ago. Kenny Pickett the Pitt rookie has out preformed veteran Deshaun Watson who has led the browns on just three TD drives in five starts. So, he better be ready for the Steel Curtain (sorry guys not even close) but it will be Mick Chubb who has averaged 147.3 yards rushing. Take CLEVELAND |

01-08-23 | Jets +3.5 v. Dolphins | 6-11 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 23 m | Show | |
New York Jets at Miami 1:00 ET Jets over Dolphins- Both of these clubs thought that they were going to the playoffs at the halfway point...Ha it is a long season and both the Jets and Dolphins failed miserably in the second half. After a 5-2 start New York won just two of their next nine games. As for Miami they started 3-0 lost three straight and then won five straight before December and were 8-3 but haven’t won since dropping their last five games. Both clubs are short on quarterbacks and are using their fourth different starter of the season. For Miami it will be back to their third stringer Skyer Thompson who has yet to win a game. The Jets will not be playing Zach Wilson at QB under any circumstances and with Mike White once again is play hurt and will be sidelined with a rib injury. Jets have the No. 3 overall defense allowing just 311.6 YPG, while Miami’s offense is ranked No. 6 gaining 368 YPG (note: most of those yards came when Tua was leading the charge). Take NEW YORK! |

Tampa Bay at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (-) over Buccaneers- Who’s favored here...and Tom Brady says that the Buccaneers will go all out here, although they are locked into their playoff spot. I personally like him but I don’t believe him, yes he is right that they need to work but gee it’s week 18 and they can’t fix it in one week. Think of it Atlanta is favored and not just by a field goal. Tampa Bay is a sucker play and don’t fall for it. Bet no them the first week of the playoffs if you want but NOT here. Take ATLANTA! |

Northwestern at Indiana 12:00 ET Wildcats (+)m over Hoosiers- Indiana who was off to a great start has taken it on the chin of late as injuries an inexperience are showing signs of weakness. Northwestern is coming off an upset win over Illinois and are holding opponents to 57.2 points per game and they have three starting seniors. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

01-07-23 | Lakers v. Kings -9 | Top | 136-134 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
LA Lakers at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (-) over Lakers- Break up the Lakers...winners of four straight are making a move, yeah right! Sacramento who at 3-games over .500 at this point of the season have their best record in 17 seasons. LA still has Lebron James preforming at an incredible pace for a 20 year veteran and still is posting double-doubles and even numerous Triple-double on a consistent basis for a fundamentally flawed team. The kings are 2-0 against LA this season and have won the last three meetings. The beat goes on. Take SACRAMENTO! |

01-07-23 | Chiefs -8 v. Raiders | Top | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 22 h 54 m | Show |
Kansas City at Las Vegas 4:30 ET Chiefs (-) over Raiders- Oh my how the Raiders supporters are rallying around Jarrett Stidham because of the 500 yards of offense that Las Vegas accumulated against the NFL top defense owned by San Francisco. The Niners thought that they would cruise through Las Vegas but this is the NFL and for the most part you have to earn your wins and they did in the end as the new Tom Brady is emerging. Unlike SF, KC has something to play for, a number one seed and a first round bye in the playoffs. The Chiefs have defeated the Raiders 9-of-10 including a come-from-behind 30-29 win on a Monday night after trailing 17-0 in October. Mahomes eats up the Riders throwing 26 TD passes and only three INTs. That was Stidman’s first start anywhere since 2018 when Auburn played Purdue in the Music City Bowl. And guess what, he was limited in practice this week because of a sore elbow. Take KANSAS CITY! |

Detroit at San Antonio 8:00 ET Pistons (+) over Spurs- A pair of basement dwellers go at it here as the Spurs come back home after a loss at New York and losses in 5-of-7. Detroit just hit a buzzer beater to defeat Golden State who were playing with a skeleton crew as injuries sidelined numerous players. Although the Piston are still subpar they are 10-11-1 ATS on the road while the Spurs are 7-13 SU at home and are 2-9 ATS against teams with losing records. Pistons are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 road games and are 7-2 in last nine road games against teams with losing records. Take DETROIT! |

Currently the Thunder have lost three of four while Washington has won five of six since the return of Kristaps Porzingis and their defense moved from Bottom-10 to Top-10. The Wiz are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games and the Thunder are 2-7 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more and 1-4 ATS after scoring 100 points. Take WASHINGTON! |

Portland at Indiana 7:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Pacers- Portland enters Indianapolis off a Wednesday loss at Minnesota and has now dropped five of their last seven while the Pacers who just lost in heartbreaking fashion 129-126 in overtime at Philadelphia and that ended a 4-game win streak and 6-of-7. The Trailblazers have had their way with Indiana and are 15-5 ATS in the last 20 meetings including 4-1 ATS at Indiana.

USC at UCLA 9:30 ET Bruins (-) over Trojans-The Bruins have reeled off 10 straight wins are a sluggish 3-2 start are now ranked No. 10 and that is probably where they belong. USC had a seven-game winning streak of their own stopped as out Megabucks winner Washington State dismantled the Trojans and this by a 5-9 team. USC was exposed and the bruins are experienced and good enough to control the tempo here and the outcome. The Bruins are 4-0 ATS against teams with winning records above 60%. Take UCLA. |

Memphis at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Grizzlies- One thing about this game it has the two teams that I try to avoid and this is playing on Orlando or against Memphis. But of you look at each teams overall record we find that the big bad Grizzlies are just 9-10 SU and 6-13 ATS on the road and the magic are 13-8 ATS at home. It seems that Orlando has performed some magic as former No. 1 pick and total NBA failure Markelle Fultz has played in just nine game but is starting to have an impact with his scoring, rebounding and assists. The Grizzlies are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 road games and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven trips to the Magic Kingdom while the Magic are 11-3 ATS in their last fourteen games overall and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games at home. Take ORLANDO! |

Purdue at Ohio State 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Buckeyes- These two clubs have one thing in common and that is both have played Rutgers with the Megabucks Buckeyes prevailed 67-66 while Purdue was knocked from the undefeated ranks thanks to Megabucks Rutgers winner. it is not unusual for a team that is this deep into the season and is handed their first loss to fall the next time out. The Buckeyes are off a huge road win over Northwestern on New Year’s Day are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games after a SU win. The road team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. take PURDUE! |

Atlanta at Sacramento 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Kings- We have been involved with both of these clubs the past two nights and they both gave great effort. Atlanta lost (+1.5) 143-141 in 2OT to Golden State on Monday (heartbreaking loss as Warriors hit three-point shots to tie and send the game into over twice. Last night we won with the Kings (Megabucks) outright at Utah and return home to start a 4-game home stand against the Hawks who have lost their last four and 10-of-14. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall but just 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Sacramento. But, the Kings are1-5 ATS after scoring 100 points the previous game and are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games. Take ATLANTA! |

TCU at Baylor 9:00 ET Bears (-) over Horned Frogs- No. 16 Baylor will host No. 17 Texas Christian in what could be an epic battle. the Horned Frogs have won 10 straight and are off a come-from-behind 67-61 home win over Texas Tech while Baylor was getting their face stomped at Iowa State 77-62. Bears coach Scott Drew Scott was upset at his clubs lack of team play recording only seven assists while committing 19 turnovers. TCU has taken a page out of the Baylor playbook and are allowing only 61 PPG ranked No. 32. Frogs 20-8-1 ATS on the road in last 29 but the favorite is 11-2-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Bears respond as they are 4-0-1 ATS after a SU loss. Take BAYLOR! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors over Bucks- Most teams in this league as I have state are different teams at home and on the road. Toronto sort of breaks that mold as they have lost nine of their last 12 games including five losses in their last six games at home. Milwaukee is off a win where Giannis scored a career best 55 points in a home win over Washington last night and I expect a drop off tonight a they had lost five of their previous six game.Bucks are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games and 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings. Take TORONTO! |

Phoenix at Cleveland 7:00 ET Suns (+) over Cavaliers- Like some many NBA teams going on the road can be a nightmare even for those that are supposed to be the better clubs. Phoenix after making a run at the NBA title in recent years has fallen into that road maze as they are just 6-13 on the road (this is a contender?) This is the final game of a season long road trip and the Suns have lost their last three and four of five entering tonight’s contest. They will have to deal with Donovan Mitchell who is off a record setting 71 point and 11 assists in a 145-134 overtime win over Chicago. The Cavaliers have been tough everywhere but especially at home where they are 17-4 but just 1-7-1 after allowing 125 or more points in their previous game. Take PHOENIX! |

Duke at N.C. State 7:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Blue Devils- Duke is coming off a victory against Florida State where they had a torrid shooting night making 51% from the floor and 44% from beyond the arc winning 86-67. Ryan Young made all seven field attempts and all six free throws for the Blue Devils against a rag Seminole defense and you can be sure that he won’t do it again tonight. Duke has owned in the in-state rival winning the last three and 14 of the last 18 meetings. The Wolfpack are 11-4 SU and that really doesn’t mean that they are not actually playing that well as they have covered the number just once in their last eight outings going 1-5-1 ATS. This is just Duke’s second true road game and they lost that one to Wake Forest. I believe that the Wolfpack are better and they are 8-1 at home good enough to bring this to the final buzzer and an outright win is possible. Take N.C. STATE! |

Penn State at Michigan 8:00 ET State has reeled off five straight wins while Michigan well, so not much overall but is coming off a beat down on Maryland New Year’s Day 81-46. A lot of things have to go right for you to win by that margin in a conference game and the Terrapins are 10-4. Still the Wolverines are just mid-land at 8-5 and have a chance to man-up as a small favorite against the 11-3 Nittany Lions who are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games. Michigan who won huge last time out are 6-20 ATS after a win and 0-5 straight-up after a win of 20 points or more. Nittany Lions are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games. It might look too good...take PENN STATE! |

Sacramento at Utah 9:00ET Kings (+) over Jazz- Ten days ago the Kings took down Utah 126-125 at home as a 3.5-point favorite getting the non-cover victory but following that on New Years Day they were out-classed by Memphis 118-108 while the Jazz were dropping a 126-123 loss to Miami on New year Eve. Although, the Jazz have dominated this series over the years this is a different Kings club that is looking to even the score with everyone. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Kansas State at Texas 8:00 ET Longhorns (-) over Wildcats- Ya know, just who are the pollsters and people that rank college basketball do it on what basis? Here we have two schools with huge basketball programs with the same record in the same conference and Texas is ranked No.6 and Kansas State doesn’t get placed into the Top-25. The Wildcats take to the road for just their third true road game While the Longhorns are 9-0 SU at home. This price seems excessive as the Wildcats are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games and the visitor is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Longhorns must be expected to have a breakout game at home as they are 2-5 ATS at home and just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall. looks to easy to take Kansas State. DO TAKE TEXAS! |

Kansas at Texas Tech 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas made a huge comeback last time out versus Oklahoma State 69-67 after trailing by 15 points at half and opening the second half with a 22-5 run worthy of their No. 3 status. Texas Tech on the other side of coin blew a 11-point halftime lead to TCU bowing 67-61 while committing 23 turnovers. While the Jayhawks are playing just their second true road game of the season the Red Raiders are 8-0 SU at home and are on a 29-game home winning streak. Tech is 10-2 ATS after a SU loss. Take TEXAS TECH! |

LSU at Kentucky 8:00 ET Wildcats (-) over Tigers- Whoa Nellie...is this right? I mean really talk about ‘Don’t make sense’ listen to how this game sets up. Here is LSU 12-1 and winners of six straight entering Lexington including a 60-57 win over No. 9 Arkansas as a huge underdog. Kentucky is 9-4 on the season and has yet to be impressive against Division I opponents. The Wildcats who are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games have won six of the last seven meetings but otherwise all trends and stats point to the Tigers and it is over kill. One other thing this is the first true road game for LSU. That might be the why the line is where it is. Take KENTUCKY! |

Marquette at St. John’s 6:30 ET Red Storm (-) over Golden Eagles- When I think of these two teams I would rate the Golden Eagles much higher than I do St. John’s. Then when seeing that they are both standing at 11-4 I took a closer look. The Red Storm (I hate that name, having gone to MSG to root on or against the former Redmen) are 8-1 SU at home with the one loss coming to Xavier in the middle their current three game losing streak. Marquette is off a pair of impressive wins over Seton Hall and at Villanova but will be up against it here as the home team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Take ST. JOHN’S! |

Atlanta at Golden State 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Warriors- Just looking at the line should tell you something about this match up as it appears the mighty have fallen. Golden State is saddled with injuries as the Warriors line against the Hawks has dropped over 10-points in 18 months. Golden State is 18-2 straight-up at home and yet here they are barely the favorite against an Atlanta squad is 6-11 on the road. This one smells! Take ATLANTA! |

Denver at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Nuggets- Minnesota has lost in-a-row and the last of which came Saturday night against lowly Detroit and now the host the Western Conference wins leader. The chemistry is no where to be found among the T’wolves as the hue off-season trade for Rudy Gobert has him playing well and most other not doing their fair share. Denver has won their last two and one win was over Boston last night and are 2-5 ATS on second of back-to-back games. The Wolves have been terrible but tonight at home they take advantage of a weary Nugget squad. Take MINNESOTA! |

The Cavaliers are a stellar 16-4 SU at home (13-6-1 ATS) while the Bulls are just 7-11 on the road and just 2-6 ATS after a straight up win. Add that the Bulls are 21-7 ASTS in the last 28 meetings in Cleveland. Take CHICAGO! |

Rutgers at Purdue 7:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue will be playing Rutgers for the second time in two seasons as the No. 1 ranked team and they are hoping for a better result this time around as the Scarlet Knights upset them 70-68 in New Jersey handing them their first loss after starting the year 8-0. This year it is different they are playing Rutgers at home and the but are still undefeated at 13-0. The Scarlet Knights must a thing about getting ready for the Boilermakers as they defeated them in West Lafayette in 2020 and the are 6-1 ATS in their last seven while the Boilermakers are 6-17-3 ATS in their last 26 games overall. Take RUTGERS! |

Penn State vs Utah 5:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Utes- So far, when I hear people speak of this game they feel Utah will destroy Penn State and the first thing I think of is, that gee the line is under a field goal how much better can they be. The Utes were the favorites to be the Pac-12 team to break into the CFP and did what we here expected be over-rated and win out in the end but still be short of their season goal. The Utes won six of their final seven games capping with a crushing pounding of USC. Unheralded Penn State finished 10-2 and their losses came at the hands of two CFP participants Michigan and Ohio State and I don’t think the Utes are of that stature. The Lions have not had a large number of transfers leaving (probably because these guys actually go to school and graduate). here we go with the Pac12 non-conference where Utah is 4-10 ATS while the Nittany Lions are 13-6-1 ATS in non-conference games. Take PENN STATE! |

01-02-23 | Tulane +2.5 v. USC | Top | 46-45 | Win | 100 | 20 h 52 m | Show |
Tulane vs USC 1:00 ET Green Wave (+) over Trojans- Usually when teams like this meet in a major bowl like the Cotton Bowl and once is a conference champion and one is not I would most likely side against the conference winner. But, this battle sets up differently. Granted both teams are 11-2 and deserve to be here but the disappointment USC feels after beating by Utah had many players despondent and have opted out of this to them meaningless exhibition. Not only will Heisman winner Celeb Williams sit out (finger injury) but so are a pair of offensive line starters and their Biletnikoff Trophy winning receiver is getting ready for the draft I always thought the best way to get read is to play and show your wares). The Green Wave have talent and will be excited to play in the school’s first Cotton Bowl appearance and they are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games being under-valued while USC is 0-5 ATS in their last five bowl games and 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games at neutral sites. Take TULANE! |

01-02-23 | Purdue v. LSU -15 | 7-63 | Win | 100 | 20 h 50 m | Show | |
Purdue vs Louisiana State 1:00 ET Tigers (-) over Boilermakers- In a times where ridiculous lines have become commonplace this one turns my head as the odds makers are giving the Boilermakers no respect. The feelings must be so hurt that maybe the lack of respect will lessen their self confidence...man, this is way out of whack. Or is it! Under further review we find Purdue in shambles. Not only has their head coach left with members of his staff and they are left with just 38 scholarship players after the transfer portal was busy including their All-American QB Adian O’Connell and his record setting receivers along with All Big Ten linebackers. Tigers 20-8 ATS after a loss and 52 ATS in their last seven bowls. Lay it...take LSU! |

01-02-23 | Mississippi State v. Illinois +2.5 | 19-10 | Loss | -107 | 19 h 53 m | Show | |
Mississippi State vs Illinois 12:00 ET Illini over Bulldogs- Looks like a pretty even match to me with both teams 8-4 on the season ranked at No. 22 for Mississippi State and No. 21 Illinois. The situation with the passing of State’s coach Mike Leech puts it all in a different prospective. Most feel that the Gipper is showing up and that the Bulldogs with heavy hearts pull off a miracle victory...Nah, not here, Illinois coach Bret Bielema has the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense allowing just 12.3 PPG. Three members of his staff have left for greener pastures as Bret signed a $6 million a year through 2028. So, they lost coaches but Mississippi has lost 10 players to the transfer portal and I think they will come up short here. The Illini haven’t won a Bowl game since 2011 in the Hungry Bowl and they are hungry now! Take ILLINOIS! |

01-01-23 | Kings +4.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
Sacramento and Memphis 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Grizzlies- I can’t remember that last time that the Kings were on top of the Pacific Division and at 19-15 there they are ahead of the LA Clippers. For years all Sacramento was a playoff outcast but with the addition of Domantas Sabonis who is described as a walking double-double they are an up and coming team that will have to be dealt with. Memphis who trails the Pelicans by a half-game still have not played at the level expected and Ja Morant at times has been spectacular and other times not so much. The Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and they are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 rod games. Take SACRAMENTO! |

01-01-23 | Panthers v. Bucs -3.5 | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
Carolina at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Buccaneers (-) over Panthers- When you ranked dead last in rushing in the NFL averaging at only 77 yards per game you have no business playing for the division title, but somehow Tampa Bay with Tom Brady at QB they can accomplish that feat with a win at home today. The Buc’s have been burning their backers money the entire season and have covered just once in their last 13 games covering 3 1/2 months. After a horrid start Carolina has gone 5-5 under Steve Wilks and can win the division with a victory here and again next week at New Orleans (Not gonna happen). The Panthers have covered just once in their last five trips to Tampa Bay and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last is meetings. Take TAMPA BAY! |

01-01-23 | Browns +2.5 v. Commanders | Top | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 49 m | Show |
Cleveland at Washington 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Commies- This line looks a bit short to me when you consider where these two teams are and who is going to play. Let me start with Washington who despite not winning a game in a month still controls their own destiny as they must of course win here and then at Dallas next week. For Cleveland there is no such pressure as they have been eliminated from playoff competition. But we will have everybody’s favorite human being Deshaun Watson at QB once again and he is 2-2 in his four starts and is off a Christmas Day performance that looked like he wanted to be somewhere else completing just 15 of 31 passes for 135 yard, no TDS and 1 INT. Carson Wentz was a starter when these guys were called Redskins (How dare they) and now he is back as the original starter in the most important game of the season against a non-play off, sub. 500 team and they are favored by less that a field goal. I don’t buy it and neither should you. Take CLEVELAND! 2 |

New Orleans at Philadelphia Saints (+) over Eagles- If Philadelphia wins they lock up the number 1 seed in the NFL and if the Saints fail they will be eliminated from the post season. All things being even both side had the same talent the same situation you would have to say the team getting disqualified is greater motivation. That being said even with Gardner Minshew leading the charge the Eagles are stronger. The Saints defense has stepped it up the last eight games and are allowing just 15.6 points per game over that span. They have won their last two and will be entering this contest with a lot of confidence and a lot to play for. The Saints are 40-19 ATS in their last 59 road games while the Eagles are 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Indianapolis at New York Giants 1:00 ET Colts (+) over NY Giants- Man what great memories of the Baltimore Colts with Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore and their own marching band. I was nine years old an in attendance of that 1958 NFL Championship game that went into overtime (1st ever) with the Colts Allen Ameche scoring a touchdown to cover as 3.5-point favorites.It is said Baltimore owner Carroll Rosenberg instructed coach Beeb Embank to pass on the field goal to score the TD to win 23-17. Now-a-days he would only have to call one of the NFL advertising sponsors to get down. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Ohio State vs Georgia 8:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Bulldogs- I so love this side so much it scares me because I have never considered the other side and usually you look for pros and cons to support your position but don’t care here. Ohio State last played against Michigan and they had a second half that was an anomaly and outscored the Buckeyes 28-3 although the Buckeyes had more total yards and seven more first downs. There is no doubt in my mind that Georgia is the best ream I have seen this season but they don’t win ever game by 50 points. Both clubs have stellar defenses as with the Bulldogs who are ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring defense allowing just 12.8 ppg while Ohio State is No. 13 allowing 19.2 ppg. Bulldogs are 3-8 ATS following an ATS win. Take OHIO STATE! |

Charlotte on the other hand has lost five straight at home but are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The nets are the No. 1 shooting team in the NBA hitting over 50%. The Hornets were the Nets first victim starting their 10-game streak and they will end it here tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |

TCU vs Michigan 4;00 ET Wolverines (-) over Horned Frogs- My first thoughts were that Michigan who dominated Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game and opened such strong favorites would just run rough shod over the Horned Frogs. The number has come down and so have I on the Wolverines. Remembering that any team rarely looks as good one game to another and things just don’t always fall into place. so, here TCU losers of the Big 12 Championship game to Kansas State is in the CFP and not many expect much of them here. Frogs looking to prove they belong and have a chip-on-their-should after backing into the CFP. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

Texas at Oklahoma 2:00 ET Sooners (+) over Longhorns- No. 6 Texas (11-1) has won four straight and while that really isn’t big news they have done it with interim coach Rodney Terry leading the way as Chris Beard faces felony domestic violence charges. This is the Longhorns Big-12 opener and their first true road game and they are 0-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and they are 1-5 ATS after three straight home games. the Sooners haven’t played in 11 days are one of the better shooting team in the country hitting over 50% from the floor and should be ready for longhorn and are in the top-20 in 3-point shooting. Add that the underdog is 17-4 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Take OKLAHOMA! |

12-31-22 | Arizona v. Arizona State +6.5 | Top | 69-60 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
Arizona at Arizona State 2:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Wildcats- Yeah well, there was no way I could avoid this one as 12-1 No. 5 Arizona comes to Tempe leading the nation in field goal percentage at 53.2 and is No. 2 in scoring averaging 90.2 PPG. Arizona State returns home from San Francisco having been trashed by the Dons 97-60 as Bill Russell and KC Jones must have been there in spirit. I have to believe that this rivalry match-up had the Sun Devils looking ahead and they got caught and beaten badly. That loss ended their own nine game winning streak and they are 11-2 ATS in 13 games after a 20 point loss. The Wildcats are 2-6 ATS after scoring 90 or more points. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

Baylor at Iowa State 2:00 ET Cyclones (+) over Bears- Okay, there are some trends that you do not want to hear about if you are looking to back the Cyclones against Baylor. To start with the Bears have won the last six meetings and nine of the last 10. But this year’s version of Iowa State has coach T.J. Otzelberger’s mantra and that is play defense from one end of the floor to the other end and you do this for the full 40 minutes. Iowa State is ninth in the nation in total defense allowing just 56.9 PPG. Baylor is playing just their second true road game and they are already 0-1 losing at Marquette. Bears defeated Nicholls State by 30-points last time out and they are 0-8 ATS after winning by 20 or more points. Take IOWA STATE! |

Both clubs have been challenged offensively this season and both with be down to their third string backup quarterbacks as injuries and transfer abound. The Wildcats will also be without their top running back and although the Hawkeyes will be without their starting QB he was so ineffective any replacement even a 3rd stringer could be much worse looking for revenge the Hawkeyes defense could rule the day but their offense is that bad. Take KENTUCKY! |

Alabama vs Kansas State 12:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Crimson Tide- The question here is just how motivated are the Crimson Tide going to be after all their goal is the CFP and they are even playing on New Year’s Day. Nick Saban is aware as he keeps insisting this game is important to them. Alabama’s QB Bryce Young the 2021 Heisman winner will play but the Tide have lost 15 players to the transfer portal including five offensive lineman. While Alabama was the preseason No. 1 Kansas State was even ranked in the Top-25 but managed to hand undefeated TCU their lone loss in the Big-12 title game. Bama just 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records while the Wildcats are 4-1 ATS against winning teams and are 5-1 ATS at neutral sites. Take KANSAS STATE! |

UCLA at Washington State 11:00 ET Cougars (+) over Bruins- I really hope that I am not being bias here but I’ve seen this UCLA team up close and personal three different times this season and I am still waiting to be impressed. The Bruins are riding an eight game win streak and are off a win 81-65 over powerful UC Davis. Washington State has dropped six of their last eight games but the home team is 4-0 ATS the last four meetings and we are hoping the bruins take the Cougars for granted. Take WASHINGTON STATE! |

Utah at Sacramento 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Kings- The Kings scored 127 in their victory over the Nuggets Friday night but the unusual thing about them scoring so high and they had only three players score in double figures with each of the three scoring over 30 points. It was a great day for Sacramento but teams must have better balance to survive in the long run. Utah fell to Golden State last time out blowing a double-digit lead scoring just 13 points in the final period. The Jazz are 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings including 4-0 ATS at Sacramento. Take UTAH! |

Miami at Denver 9:00 ET Heat (+) over Nuggets- Ya know we should really give this Erik Spoelstra credit as every season I expect them to waver but they always end up being very competitive. After a slow start Miami has risen above the .500 mark by winning six of their last eight. The constant thing the he gets out of his players is their commitment to playing defense which once again is top ranked at No. 4 allowing just 108.9 PPG and they make their free throws at 82.2%. Take MIAMI! |

12-30-22 | Clemson -5.5 v. Tennessee | Top | 14-31 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 45 m | Show |
Tennessee vs Clemson 8:00 ET Tigers (-) over Volunteers- Both of these clubs will be without their starting quarterbacks and for one side the impact will be too much to overcome and for the other it is a blessing. Clemson’s Dabo Swinney insisted that DJ Uiagaleli be the tigers quarterback and it took almost two full season’s before he benched because of overall poor play and now he’s in the transfer portal. Tennessee is not as pleased that QB Hendon Hooker tore his ACL and will be replaced by Joe Milton III (yes that Joe Milton III) who’s talents are still unknown. The Tigers QB Cade Klubnik entered the ACC Championship game in the second quarter and went 20-24 for 279 yards. The Volunteers are 0-4 ATS at neutral sites while the Tigers are 20-6 ATS at neutral site and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 bowl games. Take CLEMSON! |

Minnesota at Milwaukee 8;00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Bucks- Ya know a the end of last season I was looking forward to Minnesota being a legitimate threat and viable competitor for the playoffs. When they made certain off season moves I was sure that they had improved their lot. But, getting good players doesn’t always mean wins. The Bucks like the T’ wolves have lost their last four games even with Rudy Gobert who is picking up the slack left with Towns out with injury. Take MINNESOTA! |

12-30-22 | Wyoming +2.5 v. Ohio | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
Ohio vs Wyoming 4:30 ET Bobcats over Cowboys- Ohio was 3-9 last season and had the biggest college football single season turn around this year going 9-4 this year. The turn around is due to QB Kurtis Rourke a fourth year starter but he will not be playing due to a torn meniscus. Wyoming who ended their season with a 30-0 loss at Fresno State and will be without their top rusher but have able runners to back up the run game. The Bobcats without their QB have a bigger gap to make up and the just don’t perform well out of conference where they are 1-9 ATS in their lat 10. Cowboys 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and are 4-0 ATS in their last four bowl games. Take WYOMING! |

Notre Dame vs South Carolina 3:30 ET Gamecocks (+) over Fighting Irish- Man, this is a tough call with all the defections and transfers and such but there has got to be a winner and I believe we have one. We’ve heard in a million times in our life and that is what goes around comes around and nothing could be better for Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner who started the season as the Fighting Irish starting QB but an injury sidelined him until Drew Payne was force to enter the transfer portal. Both of the Fighting Irish defensive and offensive captains have opted out including impact player and All-American tight end Michael Mayer which is a huge loss. Spencer Rattler the transfer form Oklahoma got hot the second half of the season and lead the Gamecocks who have no run game to speak of to a 7-2 close of the season with upset wins over Tennessee and Clemson. look for more of the same. Take SOUTH CAROLINA! |

12-30-22 | Pittsburgh +8 v. UCLA | 37-35 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh vs UCLA 2:00 ET Panthers (+) over Bruins- The quarterback position is up for grabs for both schools in this year’s Sun Bowl as UCLA’S Dorian Thompson-Robinson hasn’t decided if he’s going to play or not while former USC QB Kedon Slovis Pittsburgh’s starter for the season has once again entered the transfer portal and won’t be around. Nick Patti filled in for Kenny Pickett in last year’s Peach Bowl but broke his collarbone in the first quarter and will get the start here. The Panthers really don’t mind who is under center because of their three-headed running trio that average nearly 200 yard son the ground. As part of the Pac-12 it isn’t surprising that the Bruins are 2-7 ATS against winning teams and 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 non-conference games. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Texas vs Washington 9:00 ET Longhorns (-) over Huskies- Okay here we go with that ‘don’t make sense’ shit. Washington is 10-2 SU and ranked No. 12 and has the No. 2 ranked offense averaging 521 yards behind Michael Penix Jr. who leads the nation in passing yards averaging 377 yards through the air and had 4, 354 yards on the season. Texas will be without their tow top running backs All-American Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson have both opted out. So, No. 20 Texas who lost four games by a total of 18 points and have their top backs out be favored. Once again I believe the odds maker is trying to tell us something and that is Texas is much better with or without their star players. Take TEXAS! |

San Antonio hasn’t had much to brag about either having lost 5-of-7 and are already out of the playoff picture at 11-23. Things are so bad on the court for the Spurs that HOF coach Gregg Popovich is getting ejected earlier and earlier and last time out got the thumb one minute into the second quarter.The Knicks blew a 9-point lead to Dallas in the final 33 seconds and are still in shock.Spurs take advantage.

Boston is completing a seven game home stand and they have won the last three after falling in the first three while LA is playing the fourth of a five game road trip. Celts No. 1 offense will be up against the NBA’s No. 3 defense and the Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Boston. Take the LA CLIPPERS! |

Both Toronto and Memphis are off losses and are struggling of late with the Raptors having lost 7-of-9 SU and the Grizzlies have dropped their last two and 4-of-5. Toronto has lost four straight at home but Memphis is just 4-13 ATS on the road. Add that the Raptors are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take TORONTO! |

The Cornhuskers are 5-1 SU at home be it against lower tier teams with the lone loss coming in overtime 65-62 to then No. 1 Purdue. The home team is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |

Oklahoma vs Florida State 5:30 ET Seminoles (-) over Sooners- They are B-A-C-K! Florida State after a two year bowl absence and will be playing in their back yard for the most part with this game in Orlando. The last time these two met in was in Miami at the Orange Bowl in 2000 as the Sooners closed out a National Championship. This time around as a huge underdog Oklahoma can finish below .500 as they ended up just 3-6 in Big-12 play. The spread on this contest is a bit on the strong side and that is a reflection on the Oklahoma having three of their starting offensive lineman opted out and are preparing for the NFL draft along with running back Eric Gray. The Seminoles are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 Bowl games and the Sooners are 1-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Arkansas at LSU 9:00 ET Razorbacks (-) over Tigers- A pair of 11-1 clubs square off in Baton Rouge where LSU is 8-0 and hosting an Arkansas team playing their first true road game. Ordinarily I would look to play against anybody in the Razorbacks position but they have been on the road fat neutral site five time and have played and beaten the likes of Creighton, Oklahoma, San Diego State, Bradley and Louisville (they were good once). Razorbacks are actually 9-1 ATS in their last 10 true road games. Take ARKANSAS! |

We have had our way with the Tide as week are 4-0 ATS in games where they are 3-1 SU. The Bulldogs have been a point spread nightmare covering just once since November 17 while going 1-6-1 ATS. The push was a win over Marquette so we know that they can play although their competition has been second and third rate. Bama has played some big boys and has defeated two different No. 1 teams and then of course fell themselves. In true road games the Crimson defeated then No.1 Houston but the road team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings. That’s enough for me here. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

Oregon at North Carolina 8:00 ET Ducks (-) over North Carolina- As Al Pacino once said, ‘There is something really really wrong here’... I mean look at the Tar Heels averaging 474 YPG on offense and were averaging over 525 yards a game until their final three outings when they led the nation in offense at season’s mid-point. Carolina closed the season with three straight losses to Georgia Tech, NC State and Clemson gaining 150 yards in each game below their average. Oregon led by Bo Nix did sustain an offense that averaged 508 YPG ranked 4th nationally and scoring 39.7 PPG ranking ninth. Heels surrender 440 YPG and that is their down. Look for the Ducks who opened the season with a 49-3 loss to Georgia and closed their year with a loss at Oregon State to come out strong and will show no mercy. Take OREGON! |

Kentucky at Missouri 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- Yeah I just love this, Missouri has one loss this season and we had them that night while Kentucky failed us against UCLA. Wildcats coach John Calipari is always high on his new recruits but not having veteran players has started to show its flaws and as always they are poor free throw shooters. Shooting the ball is not a Tiger problem as they are No. 4 in the nation hitting 51.3 from the field and averaging 88.8 points per game also placing them at number 4. This is a true road game for the Wildcats and they are 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 road games while the Tigers are 11-2 ATS against a team with a losing road record. Take MISSOURI! |

Kansas lost six of their final seven and is playing their first bowl game since 2008. The Jayhawks were 5-0 before TCU and managed just one win against Oklahoma State the rest of the year after QB Jalon Daniels was injured and returned for the final two games losses to Texas and Kansas State.
