01-22-20 | Pacers v. Suns +1 | Top | 112-87 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
Indiana at Phoenix 9:05 ET Suns over Pacers- Indiana had won five straight and things were going merrily along and then they ran into the Utah Jazz who beat them so bad it may take more than one game to recover over their worst loss of the season and now they feel exposed. They may have lost their mojo...Phoenix is already within one victory of last season's win total and have seem to have caught a groove. An oddity about the Pacers being 6-0 in the last six meetings all of which they are favored...not tonight Take PHOENIX! |

01-22-20 | Nuggets v. Rockets -8.5 | 105-121 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Denver at Houston 8:05 ET Rockets (-) over Nuggets- So, is the line-maker going to keep raising the 'price' on the Rockets no matter how bad they are playing until it becomes impossible to bet them...I wish I knew! Right now for Houston to be this kind of favorite against a team the quality of Denver is either that they are ready to rout the Nuggets or I am being 'sucker' into this play. I believe that the rout is on...take HOUSTON! |

01-22-20 | Grizzlies +7 v. Celtics | 95-119 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Memphis at Boston 7:35 ET Grizzlies (+) over Celtics- The Celtics responded as 'our' Megabucks winner over the Lakers on Monday and after losing three straight and six of eight and probably will be mentally exhausted and relaxing with the 'pressure' of being a Megabucks release now off. Memphis had won seven in-a-row before getting blindsided by the Pelicans at home last time out but have still won 10 of 14. Boston has won seven straight in the series but has been inconsistent as favorites going 2-6 ATS in their last eight overall. The Grizzlies on the other hand are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs and 6-2 ATS in their last eight overall. Take MEMPHIS! |

L.A. Lakers at New York 7:35 ET Knicks (+) over Lakers- I cringe every time I consider posting the Knicks' but to tell you the true it hasn't been that bad as they are 22-22 ATS and if you pick your spots correctly and have a feel for good and bad you can make some money. LA has won eight of 10 with the loss last time as the Celtics handed them their worst lost in the series history meanwhile New York beat Cleveland and the come out of losing eight of nine with one of those losses in LA to the Lakers 117-87. Look for a more concerted effort out of the Knicks tonight. Take NEW YORK! |

01-22-20 | Cincinnati v. Temple +3 | Top | 89-82 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Temple 7:00 ET Owls (+) over Bearcats- Cincinnati has won four of five after a slow start while Temple has lost four of five with their lone win over Wichita State at home. The Bearcats like their football team looks good until the pressure is on and then they fold, especially on the road where they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games and 9-21 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The Owls are 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings with Cincinnati taking the last two. Bounce back for the Owls here. Take TEMPLE! |

01-21-20 | Clippers +1.5 v. Mavs | Top | 110-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at Dallas 8:30 ET Clippers (+) over Mavericks- Strangely enough the first place Mavericks who now lead Houston by a one-game in the Southwest Division have the worst home record of any first place team in the league at 13-10. Dallas has won four straight games after dropping two straight at home against the Nuggets and Lakers and will welcome the return of Kristaps Porzingis who has missed 10 games because of a knee injury. The Mavs are just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and are 0-4 ATS at home against teams with winning records. The Clippers are just 2-8 ATS after a straight-up win and just 1-4 ATS at Dallas. LA won the first matchup 114-99 back in November when Doncic missed all eight of hie 3-point shots. Take the CLIPPERS! |

01-21-20 | Texas Tech v. TCU +3 | 54-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Texas Christian 8:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Red Raiders- This pair of Big-12 clubs have the same overall and conference records but have gotten there quite differently. No. 18 Texas Tech has won their last two games by double-digits against Kansas State and Iowa State while TCU is off of losses to West Virginia and Oklahoma by a combined 52 points. Both of those losses were road games where the Horned Frogs are just 1-3 while posting an 11-2 home record. A look here shows that the Red Raiders are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite and 2-6 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Butler +4 v. Villanova | Top | 61-76 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
Butler at Villanova 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- A pair of Big East clubs that are changing directions has No. 11 Villanova has won 10 of their last 11 SU while No. 12 Butler has dropped their last two conference games after starting the season 15-1. The Bulldogs are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 4-0 as an underdog. The Wildcats who are 31-15 ATS in their last 46 home games have slipped after a straight-up win going 5-12-1 ATS and are just 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. Take BUTLER! |

01-21-20 | Wichita State v. South Florida +5 | 56-43 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Wichita State at South Florida 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Shockers- No. 22 Wichita State has dropped their last two to Temple and Houston (Both Megabucks winners) and now they travel to Orlando to face the struggling Bulls. South Florida has lost its last three but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog and a amazing 23-9 in their last 32 games following an ATS win. The Shockers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 road games but are in a funk as of now. Take SOUTH FLORIDA! |

01-20-20 | Lakers v. Celtics +3 | Top | 107-139 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show |
L.A. Lakers at Boston 7:35 ET Celtics (+) over Lakers- The banged-up Celtics are in a three-game losing streak and are on a six out of eight slide after bowing to Phoenix Saturday. Los Angeles on the other hand has managed to go 4-1 without their injured start Anthony Davis as LeBron James continues to be the most dominating player in the NBA. The pressure here will increase on Boston as Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown are sidelined and they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games and just 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings. But, here the table turn as the Celtics are 12-3 ATS as a home underdog. Take BOSTON! |

01-20-20 | Pelicans +2.5 v. Grizzlies | 126-116 | Win | 100 | 4 h 28 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Memphis 5:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis who hold the final playoff spot in the Western Conference has won seven straight and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven outings. New Orleans who surprisingly are hanging on without key players are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall including 5-1-1 ATS on the road in their last seven and 8-1-1 As a road underdog. For a team that has won seven straight and is at home this is a very short number. Take the PELICANS! |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Knicks +1 v. Cavs | 106-86 | Win | 100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
New York at Cleveland 5:05 ET Knicks (+) over Cavaliers- A pair of NBA bottom feeders matchup in Cleveland where the 12-win Cavaliers will host 11-win New York. The Knicks are 7-14 under interim coach Mike Miller (an improvement really) but are just 1-8 since the New Year while the Cavaliers have lost four in-a-row and eight of their last 10. Trends for both sides are nothing to brad about as the Cavaliers are 0-4 ATS as a favorite and the Knicks are 2-7 ATS as an underdog. So, Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Pacers +2 v. Nuggets | Top | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
Indiana at Denver 8:05 ET Pacers (+) over Nuggets- Two of the NBA's better contenders face-off in Denver where the Nuggets are 17-5 straight-up while Indiana is 10-10 SU on the road. Both teams are on winning streaks with the Pacers at four and Denver at three and Indiana is 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog and 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The Nuggets who in the past have had a strong home court advantage are just 2-5-2 ATS in their last nine home games. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Packers v. 49ers -7.5 | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 46 h 15 m | Show | |
Green Bay at San Francisco 6:40 ET 49ers (-) over Packers- The team stats between these two shows very little difference as they are both 14-3 and have virtually the same ATS record as the Niners are 10-6-1 and Green Bay is 11-6. So, this line of 7-points or more seems very generous, especially against Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has been a 7-point or more underdog six times in his career as far as I can find and he is 6-0 ATS. San Francisco closed the season 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven favored by six points or more and are 7-19-1 ATS as home favorites. The Packers are 4-1 ATS in their last five playoff games as an underdog and 8-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. But, Green Bay is 2-5 ATS in the past seven meetings including their 37-8 loss earlier this season. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Heat v. Spurs +1.5 | 102-107 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
Miami at San Antonio 3:00 ET Spurs (+) over Heat- Miami owns an NBA best 18-1 record at home but have not won more than two straight on the road. The Heat enter this fray off of a pair of wins including a 106-100 win over the Spurs in Miami four days ago while San Antonio has dropped their last two. Miami is not only 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win and 1-5 ATS as a road favorite but 4-10 ATS in the last 14 meetings as well. San Antonio is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 as a home underdog and 8-1-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take the SPURS! |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Titans +7.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 24-35 | Loss | -115 | 43 h 50 m | Show |
Tennessee at Kansas City 3:05 ET Titans (+) over Chiefs- It is said that experience is the best teacher and after last year's AFC overtime Championship game at Kansas City the Patriots pull off the improbable win. Therefore, this will be Pat Mahomes second straight chance to get the the Super Bowl something that Andy Reid has only done once in 21 years of coaching. This is the fourth straight do-or-die road games for Tennessee and some may believe that to be a negative, I don't. The truth of the is matter when teams are playing well it's better to be on the road where there are less distractions from family and errants that have to be run. Teams seem to bond on the road more so than at home. The Chiefs weakness have always their defense and with Henry running the ball and keeping it out of Mahomes' hands. Titans are 7-2 ATS in their last nine since Tannehill took over at quarterback and 7-1-1 ATS versus the AFC. KC is 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven overall but just 3-8 ATS in the last 11 playoff games. Add that the road team is 8-2 ATS in the past 10 meetings and the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take TENNESSEE! |

01-18-20 | Lakers v. Rockets -2 | Top | 124-115 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
L.A. Lakers at Houston 8:35 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- The Lakers nine-game win streak was ended by Orlando Wednesday and they finished the first half of their season with a 33-8 record the best in the west. That loss by LA was the first this season against a team with a losing record which means that they are now 22-1 when facing sub-par teams. Anthony Davis is questionable and that can only help the struggling Rockets who have lost their last two and three of four games. Los Angeles doesn't feed well after a weak performance as they are 2-5-1 after an ATYS loss and they have dropped 17 of the past 21 meetings to the Rockets and they are 6-13 ATS at Houston. Note, the Rockets are 11-2 ATS when playing on two days rest. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Temple +5 v. SMU | 52-68 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Temple at S.M.U 8:00 ET Owls (+) over Mustangs- We had a nice little deal with the Owls this week as they rise to take down Wichita State and now it's off to over-rated SMU who has lost their last two SU and three ATS. Temple seems to play up to their competition and is 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a home winning record over .600 and they are 4-1 ATS on the road against winning teams. If it is to be anybody it is the underrated Owls...take TEMPLE! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | 76ers v. Knicks +4 | 90-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over 76ers- It's they same old story when facing a bully, stand up to him and he shrinks and when playing on the road the bully 76ers fold like a cheap tent. Philadelphia is a stellar 22-2 SU at home but on the road is a different tale where they have lost six straight (0-5-1 ATS) and are just 7-14 on the season. Now the Sixers have a 10-game winning streak in this series but they are just 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games overall and once again will be without Joel Embiid. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Houston +3.5 v. Wichita State | 65-54 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Houston at Wichita State 4:00 ET Cougars (+) over Shockers- We are celebrating Temple's upset of Wichita State Wednesday while the loser may still be in shock and it may take them time to recover. Houston meanwhile is off of a 71-62 win over SMU where the dominated the boards grabbing a 45-34 advantage. The Cougars are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games and 14-6 ATS against teams with 60% wins. The Shockers surprisingly have a fundamental flaw and have committed more turnovers than assists in eight of their last 10 games. I feel the line is short and it makes the Shockers like inviting. Don't...take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Clippers v. Pelicans +6 | 133-130 | Win | 100 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at New Orleans 3:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Clippers- New Orleans just continues to go about their business with the knowledge that Zion Williamson is in the wings waiting to make his NBA debut on Wednesday. The Pelicans have won nine of the past 12 and just ended Utah's nine-game winning streak with a 138-132 overtime win last time out and are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games. The Clippers are still inconsistent as they are 2-7 ATS following a straight-up win and are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 trips to New Orleans. Take the PELICANS! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Missouri +7 v. Alabama | Top | 74-88 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
Missouri at Alabama 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- After taking care of business for 'us' last Saturday against Florida the Missouri got pounded at Mississippi State 72-45 and have now lost 3-of-4. Alabama did 'us' a cerise as our Megabucks winner over Auburn last time out crushing their hated rival 83-64. So, it only stands to reason the The Tigers bounce back from a beating and the Crimson Tide ebb out as fall short after a huge win. I can add a lot of other stuff like the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings or more like Alabama is 9-0 ATS at home. See...enough. Take MISSOURI! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Purdue +6 v. Maryland | 50-57 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Purdue at Maryland 2:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Terrapins- This is a tough spot for Purdue as they recovered from their double-over-time loss to Michigan by routing Michigan State 71-42 and now stay on the road against Maryland who has dropped two straight Big Ten games and are 9-0 at home. But they say defense travels well and the Boilermakers can do that holding opponents under 60 points a game. The fact is as well as the Terrapins have played in the Big Ten they are just 1-5 ATS against Purdue and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. This is pot a game you win on paper...Take the BOILERMAKERS! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | West Virginia v. Kansas State +6 | 68-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
West Virginia at Kansas State 2:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Mountaineers- This is a difficult call as playing against Bob Huggins is always a battle. West Virginia just pounded TCU 81-49 as they held the Horned Frogs to their lowest output of the season. The Mountaineers lead the nation is defensive field goal percent and are second in 3-point defense. Kansas State is 0-4 in Big-12 action and is off of a 30 turnover performance, I expect coach Bruce Weber to have the Wildcats playing fundamental basketball otherwise they get hurt. But, this might help, WVU is 1-7-1 ATS against teams with losing records and the Wildcats (7-9) fill the bill. Take KANSAS STATE! |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Michigan +5 v. Iowa | Top | 83-90 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Michigan at Iowa 9:00 ET Wolverines (+) over Hawkeyes- Michigan who opened the season 7-0 was ranked No. 4 at one time before they hit a wall and are 4-5 SU in their last nine games and have dropped to No. 19 in the national rankings. These two have already met once this season back on December 6 as the Wolverines posted a 103-91 victory over the Hawkeyes who are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games. Most would think that Iowa will come up big at home in the second meeting of the season after bowing in the first but Michigan is 10-1-1 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take MICHIGAN |

01-17-20 | Heat +1.5 v. Thunder | Top | 115-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
Miami at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Thunder- Miami who is 28-12 on the year have built their record by going 18-1 at home but it has been a different story on the road where they are an unimpressive 10-11 straight-up. Oklahoma City has won 12 of their last 16 games but were pounded early by Toronto 130-121 their last timeout and are still 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Miami who is 1-5-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the Heat breaking a six-game series losing streak with a 116-107 win at OKC last season. The Thunder needs help in the middle where centers Steven Adams and Nerlens Noel may both be sidelined. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Bulls +7.5 v. 76ers | 89-100 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Chicago at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over 76ers- The 76ers' are playing the Dickens part by being a 'Tale of Two Cities' going 19-2 SU at home but just 7-14 on the road. The lowly Bulls are 7-13 on the road SU and 15-27 on the season and have struggled of late going 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games. Oddly enough Philadelphia is the same 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games but have taken five of the last six in the series. Without Joel Embiid the Sixers are vulnerable and play close here. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Wizards +11 v. Raptors | 111-140 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Washington at Toronto 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Raptors- Toronto the defending NBA Champions got off to a great start to the season even without Kawhi Leonard gone to LA and they were pounded with a series of injuries. The Raptors lost three starters for almost a month as Marc Gasol, Pascal Siakam and Norman Powell and as they all were sidelined and their record fell off according. Washington has had injury issues of their own but they are healing as Thomas Bryant and Bradley Beal have returned to the line-up and Beal has scored 20-points or more in 11 straight games against the raptors. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-16-20 | Oregon State +3.5 v. Washington | 56-64 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Oregon State at Washington 11:00 ET Beavers (+) over Huskies- Washington has hit a rough patch losing four of five without point guard Quade Green and are now 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a straight-up loss. Oregon State on the other hand is 6-1 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 road games overall. Although the Beavers have lost 15 straight to the Huskies in Seattle the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the dog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OREGON STATE! |

01-16-20 | Nuggets v. Warriors +5 | 134-131 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Denver at Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Nuggets- It has been 18 years since Golden State has lost 10 straight games and right now they are a single loss away from matching that infamous figure. The Warriors have been defeated by 20 points in consecutive games after their 124-97 pounding by the Mavericks and are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games following a double-digit loss. Although Denver has won 14 of their last 18 and have won three in-a-row in the series between the two they are just 3-7-2 ATS in their last 12 games as favorites and are only 1-6 ATS in the second of back-to back games. Hey how about this, the Warriors are 21-10 ATS when playing a team with a winning percentage of 60% or better. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

01-16-20 | Colorado v. Arizona State +2 | Top | 68-61 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
Colorado at Arizona State 9:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Buffalos- This is the second time that these two Pac-12 clubs will be facing each other this season, the first encounter a 81-71 win by Colorado a game played in Shanghai, China didn't count in the conference standings. The No. 20 ranked Buffaloes are off of a huge 91-52 win over Utah and have won six of seven going 5-2 ATS. The Buffs have won six of the past nine meetings but are 0-6 at Tempe Su in their last six trips to Tempe. Arizona State has had the toughest non-conference schedule in the Pac-12 and that experience will help here. Colorado is just 4-12 ATS in their last 16 as road favorites and 14-37-1 ATS in their last 52 road games overall. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

01-16-20 | Jazz v. Pelicans +5.5 | Top | 132-138 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
Utah at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Jazz- When you're hot you're hot and that is the Jazz as of now as they have won their last 10 and 15 of their last 16 and are 2-0 this season against New Orleans. The Pelicans have won 3-of-4 with that loss at home to Utah 10 days ago. The ATS stats are outrageous for the Jazz as they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games and 7-1 ATS on the road in their last eight games and they are 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings. New Orleans who is improving daily is 6-1-1 ATS as a home underdog and 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Take PELICANS! |

01-16-20 | Suns v. Knicks +3.5 | 121-98 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Phoenix at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Suns- The Phoenix Suns have won 16 games this season as compared to 19 games all of last season but they are just 5-12 in their last 17 games straight-up and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games. I'm a bit surprised that the Suns are favored here. The Knicks who are 7-12 since Mike Miller took over on December 6 but they are currently in their worst stretch since he took over losing six of their past seven. The Suns are 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings and 7-2 ATS at New York but, the Knicks are 5-2 ATS at home against a team with a losing record. Take NEW YORK! |

01-16-20 | Cincinnati +4.5 v. Memphis | 49-60 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Memphis 7:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Tigers- A pair of the better AAC defensive clubs clash in Memphis where the No. 22 Tigers host Cincinnati who had lost four of six before winning back-to-back games against Tulsa and Central Florida. The Bearcats picked up their defensive effort in those two wins allowing just 44 and 5 points. Kike tonight's opponent Memphis had dropped a pair to Wichita State and Georgia before rebounding for a hard fought 68-64 win at South Florida. Cincinnati's basketball team like their football team struggles against the points spread and are 1-5 ATS on the road and 8-20 ATS overall in their last 28. But, the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take CINCINNATI! |

Dallas at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Mavericks- Dallas may be the biggest and most positive surprise in the NBA this season but have won consecutive games for the first time since December winning those games by 22.5 points. The Mavericks are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 as road favorites but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after a straight-up win. And 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Sacramento has been a disappointment at home and are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games but somehow are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games overall and an amazing 17-5 ATS in the last 22 meetings including 7-3 ATS at home. Take the KINGS! |

Penn State at Minnesota 9:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Golden Gophers- Like their football counterpart the Golden Gophers are putting up wins against Top-25 ranked clubs and are off of a 76-67 win over No.19 Michigan. Penn State was 12-2 with wins over Ohio State and Iowa before dropping their last two and dropped out of the Top-25 rankings. Now, 2-3 in Big Ten action the Lions has slumped at 1-4-1 ATS in their last six overall but are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 road games. Take PENN STATE! |

01-15-20 | Auburn v. Alabama +2.5 | Top | 64-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
Auburn at Alabama 9:00 ET Crimson Tide (+) over Tigers- For a team that is 15-0 straight-up No.4 Auburn has been nothing but mediocre ATS going 8-7. The Tigers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games but are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as favorites. The goof here is that Alabama is 8-7 SU but a huge profit making 12-3 ATS on the season. As a matter of fact the Tide is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 8-0 ATS in their last eight games at home. Auburn is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings but get caught in a rivals nest.

Wichita State at Temple 9:00 ET Owls (+) over Shockers- This really is a tough call as the No. 16 Shockers are a tough bunch and are continually under-rated as they are the lone undefeated (3-0) AAC team left with Temple at 1-3 with three January losses. Wichita State is battle tested and has the second longest true road winning streak (8-0) in the nation is 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 as visitors. The Owls who lead the conference in 3-point defense (28%) scrap back and are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 after a double-digit loss. Ad that the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take TEMPLE! |

Indiana at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Pacers- Both of these clubs are on two-game streaks with the Pacers on the positive end of their and Minnesota once again on the short end. Indiana welcomes the return of guard Malcolm Brogdon while the Timberwolves are looking for the return of Karl-Anthony Towns who has missed the last two games. Minnesota is 5-5 since their 11-game losing streak and are coming off of a 30-point loss to Houston and look to rebound here. Although they are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games but are 4-1 ATS in their last five games after an ATS loss. Take MINNESOTA! |

San Antonio at Miami 7:30 ET Spurs (+) over Heat- Miami is the team with the best home record 17-1 in a league where the home court advantage has its biggest advantage. San Antonio who had a terrible start to the season have won 3-of-4 and re 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog. The Heat after a great start have started to come back to the pack as they are 2-5-1 ATS as home favorites. Add that San Antonio is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings including 6-1 ATS at Miami.

Indiana at Rutgers 7:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Let me start by saying that I don't understand the 'move' that has been made on the Scarlet Knight here against Indiana. The Hoosiers have rebounded from a pair of losses two Arkansas and No. 17 Maryland before defeating Ohio State on Saturday. Rutgers reeled off seven straight wins since December 11 but were upended at Illinois Saturday but they are 8-0 ATS in their last eight and 9-1 ATS in their last 10. Indiana is just 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall but are 7-2 SU in their last nine Big Ten games. Take INDIANA! |

Wisconsin who has won five of six since the return of Micah Potter are still just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as favorites. Although the home team is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings and the Terrapins are 0-3 in their three true road games after their performance last time out I expect this to go down to the final horn...take the points with MARYLAND! |

Texas Tech opened Big-12 play with a rout of Oklahoma State 85-50 their most lopsided Big-12 win in school history. Tech has struggle as a favorite this season going 1-7 ATS in their last eight in that role. Kansas State hasn't been any better in the opposite role going 1-6 ATS in their last seven as an underdog. Wildcats coach Bruce Weber admits he was disappointed State's second half performance against Texas and vied that they would be better tonight. Take KANSAS STATE! |

Utah at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Jazz- The return of Kyrie Irving to Brooklyn was no surprise but his play on the court raised some eyebrows as he scored 21 points in 20 minutes on 10 of 11 field goals. His return helped the Nets end a 7-game losing streak as the Nets were 13-13 in Irving absence. Meanwhile, Utah has won their last eight and 14 of 15 and are 9-2 SU in the last 11 meetings. As well as 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Brooklyn is off of an upset of Miami and are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games as underdogs.Take BROOKLYN! |

Phoenix at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Suns- Last season these two bottom feeders had the worst records in the NBA and expected at least some improvement considering they have had top draft picks in recent season. Well, Phoenix has risen a bit and has won 16 games this season while Atlanta remains the leagues doormat along with Golden State. The Hawks have been grounded at home wining just 4 of 18 SU but are meeting a team that doesn't belong in the favorites role. The Suns are 0-4 ATS in their last four as favorites and Atlanta is 7-3 ATS following a loss of 10 points or more. Take ATLANTA! |

01-14-20 | Louisville v. Pittsburgh +6.5 | Top | 73-68 | Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
Louisville at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET Panthers (+) over Cardinals- No. 11 Louisville has won their last two games including a thrilling 67-64 win at Notre Dame after consecutive losses to Kentucky and Florida State while Pittsburgh is off of a lackluster performance at Miami where they fell behind 16-0 to start the games and started the second half on the wrong end of a 16-4 run. The Cardinals who 6-2-1 ATS as favorites are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight road games when playing a team will a winning home record. The Panthers have struggled as an underdog going 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 in that role and just 1-5-1 ATS as a home dog. But, the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and with Putt's poor effort last time out I believe they will be ready tonight. Take PANTHERS! |

Orlando at Sacramento 10:30 ET Kings over Magic- Orlando was a game away from the breakeven point on the season but then took to the road where the Sun handed them a 98-94 loss while the Kings have won three of four before getting routed by Milwaukee. Marvin Bagley III returns after a six game absence and he can do nothing but help this young club. Sacramento placed in the favorites roll have struggled at home going 2-6 ATS and 2-9 ATS at home overall. Still the Kings are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings as hosts against the Magic. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Clemson vs L.S.U. 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Tigers- Okay, I must admit that LSU has had the more impressive resume and have shown to me that they were the best team in college football this year with the best quarterback. But, I am old school and don't believe the 'Champion' can be displaced until beaten. Clemson was undefeated last year and was crowned the Nation Champions and they have yet to lose this year, like boxing to me you 'must' defeat the champ. The 'public' of course is enamored with Louisiana State with Joe Burrow leading the way it is hard not to root for a team that defeated Alabama, Auburn and Georgia and everyone else they played and even the 'sharps' laying the points. The rap of Clemson is their scheduLe strength but they have proven worthy and will rise as an underdog (once again) here. Take CLEMSON! |

Oklahoma City at Minnesota 8:05 ET Timberwolves (+) over Thunder- Oklahoma City has been one of the best 'takes' in the NBA this season and is 26-13 ATS on the season and 14-5 ATS on the road including 10-1 ATS in their last 11. The Thunder are 12-14 SU in their last 14 while Minnesota has struggled and are just 5-11-1 ATS at home but ate 5-2 ATS overall in their last seven games. But the true stat to be noted is that OKC is just 1-8 ATS in the last nine meetings including 0-4 at Minnesota. Take the TIMBERWOLVES! |

Chicago at Boston 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Celtics- Boston just put an end to their longest losing streak (3-games) of the season with a resounding 140-105 pounding of New Orleans. Chicago just ended a losing streak of their own as they upset the Pistons in Detroit 108-99 last time out after six straight losses going 0-5-1 ATS. The Bulls are 8-2-1 ATAS in their last 11 games as a road underdog but are 1-6 ATS in their last seven meetings in Boston.

Seattle at Green Bay 6:40 ET packers (-) over Seahawks- How many times does it have to happen to 'us' when playing against the Seahawks. Last week we lost all chances when Carson Wentz went do in the first quarter and Philadelphia was not able to make up for the drop off in talent level. To start with Seattle is 8-1 ATS in their last nine games as a road underdog. Green Bay has not looked the same this season and yet are the No. 2 seed in the NFC and are 7-1 ATS against teams with a winning record and 501 ATS in their last six playoff games and are 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Green Bay. The Packers still are led by Aaron Rogers and he will be the difference. Take GREEN BAY! |

San Antonio at Toronto 6:00 ET Spurs (+) over Raptors- Toronto is fighting each and every night like true champions but the injury toll is impacting their results. No less than five Raptors are out or questionable and they have lost the effectiveness of their rotation. San Antonio who was off to a horrific start has turned things around and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games including 4-1 ATS as a road underdog. The Raptors are just 3-9 ATS on three or more days rest and are 0-6 ATS in the last six meetings. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

01-12-20 | Utah v. Colorado -7.5 | Top | 52-91 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
Utah at Colorado 6:00 ET Buffaloes (-) over Utes- Colorado got the tough part done by defeating ranked Oregon 74-65 and then fell against the lesser Oregon State 76-68. For Utah it has been just the opposite as they lost to Oregon and defeated Oregon State. This line appears a bit 'strong' to me as Utah is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games and 7-2 ATS as a road underdog but the favorite and the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Although the Buffaloes are just 3-7 ATS as a home favorite but they are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games at home. Take COLORADO! |

01-12-20 | Texans +10 v. Chiefs | 31-51 | Loss | -120 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
Houston at Kansas City 3:05 ET Chiefs (-) over Texans- How about this quarterback comparison, Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson were born within three days of each other and drafted within two spots of each other. When these two met in week 6 the Texans won at Arrowhead Stadium 31-24 as Mahomes was hobbled by an ankle injured and then went down with a dislocated kneecap but return to lead the Chiefs to six straight wins to close the season. While Houston was overcoming a 16-0 half-time deficit Kansas City was resting, healing and studying their opposition for this week. The Texans who are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight road games but are 4-11 ATS against teams with a winning home record and just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 playoff games including 1-5 ATS in the last six playoff games at home. Add that the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take HOUSTON! |

Michigan State at Purdue 12:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Spartans- I'm still sick about losing with Purdue (+5.5) in double-overtime 84-78 last time out but have the solace that 'we' won with MSU easily last time out. The Spartans are 5-0 in Big Ten play and lead the nation in assists with 19.8 per game while Purdue has won 14 straight conference games at home. Michigan State is just 1-5 ATS as road favorites and the home team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings and Purdue is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 home games and 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 following a straight-up loss.

Philadelphia won their last two at home after dropping four straight on the road where they are 7-12 SU on the season. After a great start to the season the Mavericks have fallen a bit of late losing their last two at home to Denver and the Lakers and have lost five of their last seven.

01-11-20 | Titans v. Ravens -9.5 | 28-12 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 25 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Baltimore 8:15 ET Ravens (-) over Titans- Baltimore on a 12-game winning streak has been by far the most impressive team in the NFL leading the league in scoring and rushing. The Titans showed their strength last week in a dominating defensive show with Henry controlling the ball with their powerful ground game. Tennessee is just 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings although they are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight versus the AFC. But, the Ravens have been even better going 7-0 ATS in their last eight against the AFC and they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight playoff games. The price is high and there is a reason for that and there is a slight coaching edge to the Ravens. Take BALTIMORE! |

L.A. Lakers at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Lakers- The Lakers have won seven straight (with or without Anthony Davis) and are now 17-3 straight-up on the road. Oklahoma City is almost as 'hot' as LA as they have won 11 of 13 after routing Houston 113-92 on Thursday. Although the Lakers are on another winning streak they are just 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 3-7-1 ATS as favorites in their last 11 games. Oklahoma City is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall and 20-7 Ats as an underdog. Take the THUNDER! |

Texas Tech at West Virginia 6:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Mountaineers- A pair of Big-12 teams that do something their football counterpart don't do and that is...play defense. No. 21 Texas Tech fell to Baylor (Megabuck winner) and now will bounce back at West Virginia who lead the conference in field goal defense 35.7 no matter as the Red Raiders are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and West Virginia is 9-20-2 ATS at home and 7-15-1 ATS on Saturday's.

Minnesota at Houston 5:00 ET Rockets (-) over T'wolves- The Rockets made an appearance in Oklahoma City Thursday as James Harden and Russell Westbrook were welcomed back to their former club and were pounded 113-92 by the Thunder. That was the lowest scoring output on the season for Houston and I expect them to respond against the Timberwolves who are just 6-13-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Houston is 9-4 ATS following a loss and get it done here. Take the ROCKETS! |

Minnesota at San Francisco 4:35 ET Vikings (+) over 49ers- The more I hear about this game I question whether the Vikings have a chance. Reports of grumbling from with-in and a media's constant barrage on Kirk Cousins (along with the public's opinion of him). But, there something to be said about having NFL playoff experience and having multiple appearances under your belt and that is something that San Francisco's Garappolo doesn't have yet. Minnesota is 5-2 ATS on the NFC road underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. The notes on the Niners aren't so hot when you see that they are just 6-19-1 ATS as home favorites and 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games overall. Take MINNESOTA! |

Horned Frogs enter with three straight wins and a big one for us last week while the Cowboys have dropped their last two. Line seems shy and I expect OK State to snap their two-game slide. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

N.C.

The Hokies do it with defense as they average the fewest turnovers in the nation at 9.8 and rank second with fouls committed and are third in assist/turnover ration at 1.61. The Wolfpack who lead the series 40-17 have revenge on their minds are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and Tech is 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take N.C. STATE! |

Baylor at Kansas 1:00 ET Jayhawks (-) over Bears- Baylor has never won at Kansas (0-17) Bears are 5-0 ATS on the road Kansas is 4-1 ATS in their last five at home and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall. The road team is 21-8-1 ATS in the last 30 meetings and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. So, my question is why is this line so high when Baylor has defeated four ranked teams on their 11 -game winning streak. Kansas is 32-5 all-time against Baylor with 13 of 14 games decided by double figures. Take the JAYHAWKS! |

Houston at Oklahoma City 9:35 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- The storyline here is not that James Harden is visiting Oklahoma City it is more about the return of 11-year Thunder veteran Russell Westbrook. The OKC brass is providing a pre-game video tribute to Russell and not a mention of Harden who put in some huge scoring years in Oklahoma City. Although is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall Houston is just 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings.

Boston at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (-) over Celtics- Well, we are all aware that Joel Embiid will be sidelined with a dislocated left ring finger (did you see it) a game in which he returned to action to help Philadelphia snap a four-game losing streak. The 76ers have defeated Boston twice already this season but are 3-4 SU in games without Embiid. Although the Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games they are 6-1 in their last seven games as an underdog and 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings. Philadelphia is 17-2 straight-up at home and that will help here tonight. Take the 76ERS! |

Michigan is 18-6 ATS in their last 24 home games and are 10-1 ATS after a SU loss but are 1-4 ATS against teams with winning record. This one should play close. Take PURDUE! |

Illinois at Wisconsin 9:00 ET Illini (+) over Badgers- After a shaky start to the season Wisconsin has put together four straight impressive wins including a 61-57 win at Ohio State last time out and a 20-point win over Tennessee.

Wisconsin has won all eight home games by double digits and yet with this series (15-0) streak going this 'price' is very cheap. Don't get sucked in the Wisconsin is coming off of their biggest win of the year. Take ILLINOIS! |

Oklahoma at Texas 9:00 ET Sooners (+) over Longhorns- History of late does not favor the Sooners as they have yet to beat the Longhorns in Texas under Skaka Smart's reign going 0-5 SU. The ironic thing about this match-up is that they both have the exact same straight-up (10-3) and points spread records (4-9). The ATS records of these two is dismal with Oklahoma 0-6 ATS in their last six and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 while Texas is 2-8 ATS in their last 10. At 0-1 in conference Texas is 18-5 all-time in Big-12 openers. But there is a history in this series where the underdog is 12-3 ATS in the last 15 meetings with the road team 7-3 ATS.

TCU at Kansas State 9:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Wildcats- It is difficult to grasp how a team can play 13 games into January and have played just one true road game. TCU is 10-3 SU but only 4-8 ATS overall with their lone road game ending in a 62-60 loss at lowly Clemson. The Horned Frogs have shown point spread inconsistency going 1-7 ATS after a straight-up win.

Portland at Toronto 7:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Raptors- Both of these clubs are struggling of late as Portland has dropped six of their last seven 'only covering' in their lone victory while the Raptors have dropped four of their last seven.

The Trailblazers who are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Toronto are just 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as an underdog.

These two faced each other once last month and it wasn't pretty as Sacramento committed 27 turnovers and the Warriors turned it over 20 times. The price on this encounter is ridiculous when you consider the Kings are 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games and are 1-6 ATS as a home favorite.

Milwaukee at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Bucks- These two played a very physical affair in Milwaukee Saturday night as the Bucks grabbed a 127-118 non-cover victory. San Antonio tried to challenge Antetokounmpo. But fouling the Super-star didn't work as Giannis converted 12 free throws. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich admitted that the Spurs 'fouled too much' and they have to play better defense. San Antonio has their work cut out as the Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last six as road favorites and the Spurs are 7-20 ATS in their all 27 home games but, are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up loss.

But, the Heat had hit a lull where they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games and have had a rash of turnovers as their shooting percentage has dropped. Portland who is just 1-5-1 ATS overall in their last seven games themselves are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! |

01-05-20 | Seahawks v. Eagles +1 | Top | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 2 m | Show |
Seattle at Philadelphia 4:40 ET Eagles over Seahawks- The was no worse looking division champion than the Philadelphia Eagles as they had to win their last four to slip by the Cowboys. So banged-up are the Eagles that they were missing seven starters on offense in Week 17. Understand this, this Seattle team (especially Wilson's antics) have left me with a bloody nose and I don't want anyone to believe that this is a 'hate' bet...it is the STRONGEST NFL winner on the entire weekend. I have some great stats supporting Seattle as they are 10-3-2 ATS in their last 15 road games and that they are 15-6-4 ATS after as SU loss and they have dropped their last two. But, here I like this one the Seahawks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven playoffs games. I have god and bad surrounding the Eagles but the one I like is that they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 as a playoff underdog. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

01-05-20 | Michigan v. Michigan State -9 | Top | 69-87 | Win | 100 | 1 h 1 m | Show |
Michigan at Michigan State 1:30 ET Spartans (-) over Wolverines- Wait a second here...my first thoughts when viewing this matchup is that the line is awful high considering the rivalry between these two schools. Then when I noticed that #13 Michigan the heavy underdog is ranked higher than the #16 Spartans and that peaks my interest. This 'price' draws even more thought when I see that Michigan is 10-4 AST as an underdog and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall, so why such a high line. After a rocky start Michigan State has reeled off six straight wins with the last winning by an average of 35.5 points. State is 21-10 ATS in their last 31 home game and are 23-8ATS against teams with winning percentage about .600. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |
