02-06-23 | Duke +2.5 v. Miami-FL | 59-81 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Duke at Miami 7:00 ET Blue Devils (+) over Hurricanes- At first glance it might seem that the wrong team is ranked as the Miami Hurricanes under Jim Larranaga are ahead of Duke in the ACC standings. In the first meeting between these two the Blue Devils prevailed at home in a 68-66 win and non-cover over the Hurricanes. The underdog has gotten the money in the last four meetings. Take DUKE! |

02-05-23 | Northwestern +4 v. Wisconsin | Top | 54-52 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
Northwestern at Wisconsin 6:30 ET Wildcats (+)v over Badgers- One huge difference between this years Wisconsin teams of the past 22 of the last 23 made it to the Big Dance and this season they probably will fall short because of their offensive woes. Even in their 65-60 victory at Ohio State on Thursday they went the final 7:18 without scoring a field goal. The Wildcats who have made only one NCAA Tournament appearance in 2017 have 15 wins and snapped their seven game losing streak against Wisconsin with a 66-63 home win over the Badgers and haven’t swept the series since 1996 (Jeter’s rookie year). The fact of the matter is that the Wildcats player better defense and shoot the ball better and get the win here. Badgers are 1-7 ATS against teams with winning records. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

02-05-23 | Raptors +4 v. Grizzlies | Top | 106-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
Toronto at Memphis 6:00 ET Raptors (+) over Grizzlies- When it rain it pours as they say and Memphis feels like they have been overwhelmed by the great flood as injuries have played a major part in their swoon losing seven of eight while playing hurt. Now, they will be without Dillion Brooks who was really a bad boy hitting Donovan Mitchell and will serve a one-game (this game) suspension. The Raptors have injury issues of their own and will be playing their seventh straight road game and are 3-3 but they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings including 5-0 ATS in Memphis. Take TORONTO!Chip’s Highest-Rated NBA Megabucks (40-24-1 64%) Chip Chirimbes, Las Vegas Hilton Champion and Big-Game Player won his FIFTH Highest-Rated Megabucks New Orleans (-1) 131-126 over the LA Lakers.

02-05-23 | 76ers v. Knicks +4.5 | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at New York 6:00 ET Knicks (+) over 76ers-I’ve said it a number of times and that is I hate to play against Joel and the 76ers and I hate to play on the New York Knicks. After bowling a 20-point lead to Orlando the 76ers have won two straight following an eight game winning streak. New York fell in OT to the clippers yesterday and have now dropped 3-of-4 and 7-of-10. The Sixers as I have said are tough to beat and are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings in New York. But, the Knicks are 19-7-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and are 6-1 ATS against teams with a winning percentage of at least 60%. Take NEW YORK! |

02-05-23 | Cavs v. Pacers +5 | 122-103 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Indiana 5:00 ET Pacers (+) over Cavaliers- Indiana snapped a four-game losing streak with a Megabucks winner over Sacramento on Friday as they forced 19 turnovers. Cleveland is off a ground hog winner 128-113 over Memphis on Thursday and have split a pair of games this season with the Pacers. The Cavaliers are just 1-7 ATS after a SU win and are 0-5 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. Pacers 9-3 ATS at home and win again here. Take INDIANA! |

02-05-23 | Ohio State +3.5 v. Michigan | 69-77 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Michigan 1:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Wolverines- Both of these football power are not so much on the hardwood although Michigan has proven it can win while the Buckeyes always seem a play of two away. Ohio State won their first two conference games and then dropped three straight and eight of nine. The Wolverines are coming off a win at Northwestern and that spells trouble as they are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games after a SU win and 7-22 after an ATS win. Add that the road team is 4-0 ATS the last four meetings. Take OHIO STATE! |

02-04-23 | Gonzaga v. St. Mary's -3.5 | 70-78 | Win | 100 | 20 h 4 m | Show | |
Gonzaga at St. Mary’s 10:30 ET Gaels (-) over Bulldogs- The West Coast Conference has been dominated by Gonzaga for the past 20 years that is for sure but every once in a while they encounter some competition and this time around and for the most part if they had any competition in the WCC it was from St. Mary’s. It always seems that the Gaels are a threat until they go head-to-head and then the Bulldogs bite. Well, their bark is louder than their bite this season and they can be had...and that is why they are underdogs here. Take ST. MARY’S! |

02-04-23 | Hawks +6.5 v. Nuggets | 108-128 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Denver 9:00 ET Hawks (+) over Nuggets- It appears that the high flying Hawks are on a determined west coast five-game road trip and are 1-2 SU but 3-0 ATS and win all three games and we are doing it again tonight. Denver has eased off their division leading pace and are 3-3 SU in their last six and are 1-4 ATS in their lst five following an ATS win. The Hawks despite their stellar point spread record of last had lost six straight before defeating the Jazz last night. They are now 14-15 SU on the road and lead the NBA in scoring points on the road and are 4-0 ATS in their last four away. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Florida +5.5 v. Kentucky | 67-72 | Win | 100 | 18 h 40 m | Show | |
Florida at Kentucky 8:30 ET Gators- over Wildcats These two squads have one thing in common and that they both have defeated Tennessee a team who has a chance to win the NCAA Tourney which neither of these can do. Both clubs are coming off victories but the gators win at Tennessee Wednesday will have them patting themselves on the back and now have the confidence to win here as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. I’m sure Calipari will have his Carts hungry but the Gators will be chomping. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take FLORIDA |

LA Clippers at New York 7:00 ET Knicks (+) over Clippers- Both of these clubs have been rather inconsistent and are in about the same place in their conference playoffs.

New York is 12-5-1 ATS after a straight-up win and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take NEW YORK! |

LA Lakers at New Orleans 6:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Lakers- New Orleans is fading fast without Zion Williamson and have lost 10 straight including a 111-106 loss at Dallas where they trailed by 31 points in the middle of the third quarter before Luca Doncic left the game. The Pelicans are beginning a four game home stand and are looking for their first win since Jan. 13.So, if so bad why is this line so short against the Lakers who are playing their best ball of the season. Brandon Ingram has returned for the Pels after a 29 game absence. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Syracuse v. Boston College +2.5 | 77-68 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 21 m | Show | |
Syracuse at Boston College 5:00 ET Eagles (+) over Orange- As I have said numerous time this season Syracuse should not be favored on the road against anyone even a sub-par Boston College team. The Eagles are coming off their second win over a Top-25 squad after defeating Clemson the ACC leader 62-54. The Orange (aren’t there orange people out there who wist to protest their name change) have defeated BC nine straight time but have lost their last three and the eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last six games at home. Take BOSTON COLLEGE |

02-04-23 | Texas -120 v. Kansas State | Top | 69-66 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show |
Texas at Kansas State 4:00 ET Longhorns over Wildcats- Its been a great run for Kansas State bt I believe the early season flash has faded and that they are a go against club right now. It is sort like the woke up and said ‘What are we doing here!’...Texas has won six of seven since falling to Kansas State 116-103 in the highest scoring game in K State history and it will not repeat itself. The lack of a balanced offense is the Wildcats weakness and the Longhorns will exploit it. Take TEXAS! |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Purdue v. Indiana -120 | 74-79 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
Purdue at Indiana 4:00 ET Hoosiers over Boilermakers- This one sets up perfectly and some times when you get too cocky about a situation it can all cave in on you. Geez, I hope that is not the case here where I have a club that was caught in a classic look-ahead road game and were destroyed as the Hoosiers fell st Maryland 66-55. Purdue has been taking care of business and have won nine straight since being upset 65-64 by Rutgers. As far as college basketball goes there is no in state rivalry any stronger than in Indiana, where basketball between these two long time adversaries has the attention of the entire state. Hoosiers are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 home games and Purdue oddly enough is 0-7 ATS the last seven Saturday’s. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Kansas v. Iowa State +1.5 | Top | 53-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 35 m | Show |
Kansas at Iowa State 12:00 ET Cyclones (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas hold a serious lifetime advantage (189-66) over Iowa State and that is always a concern but this Cyclone team is well coached and takes pride in their defense. After dropping five straight to the number and three games straight-up the Jayhawks have gotten it together with a part of convincing wins over Kentucky and Kansas State. They gained a measure of revenge against the Wildcats having lost in their first meeting. That’s the case with the Cyclones here who were beaten by the Jayhawks 62-60 on Jan.14 and will now even the score. Take IOWA STATE! |
|||||||
02-02-23 | Clippers +4.5 v. Bucks | 105-106 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
LA Clippers at Milwaukee 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Bucks- This has got to be one...one of the games I must release. Milwaukee has their top three players in uniform and have won five game in-a-row and this will be their third straight home game. LA is on a six game road trip and finally have both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard on the floor at the same time and the results are positive. Clips have won six of seven and are 4-1 ATS on the road and keep this one close if not win it. Take LA CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
02-02-23 | Loyola Marymount +5 v. BYU | Top | 61-89 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
Loyola Marymount at BYU 9:00 ET Lions (+) over Cougars- Lions have four four in-a-row awhile BYU has dropped their last three. I believe that Loyola is a better team but they fall short at the free throw line where as a team they only made 66.7%. The big advantage for the Cougars is the history of the series. The favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and the home teams is 4-0 ATS in last four meetings. BYU is 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games awhile ULM are 3-1-1 ATS on the road. Take MARYMOUNT! |

02-02-23 | Houston -12 v. Wichita State | 70-61 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Houston at Wichita State 9:00 ET Cougars (-) over Shockers- Looking at this game I wonder if Houston is for real while I’m sure the shockers are not. Wichita State come off a has what it takes to run Wichita State7-19-1 ATS after a straight-up win. is just 6-6 SU at home and 3-9 ATS which is totally unacceptable. Cougars are 7-0 ATS on the road and 46-12-1 ATS after a ATS loss.and that’s amazing. Shockers blew past East Carolina last time out taking a 49-28 half-time lead. There is a reason this is a double-digit road favorite. Take HOUSTON! |

02-02-23 | Heat v. Knicks +2 | 104-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
Miami at New York 7:30 ET Knicks over Heat- Miami as usual is making a move toward the playoffs winning four of their last five and have moved into the final guaranteed playoff spot (6th seed). New York seems to be fading having lost two straight and six of their past eight games. The Knicks who led the NBA in scoring defense when Tom Thibodeau took over but have allowed 122 PPG the last eight outings. Coach T has pointed out that the Knicks were 7-1 in their previous eight games when they surrendered just 103.6 PPG. Take NEW YORK! |

LA Lakers at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Lakers- After taking the night off against Brooklyn Lebron posted a triple-double against the Knicks in a 129-123 overtime victory at Madison Square Garden. This is the fourth game on a five-game eastern swing for LA who dropped the first two to Boston and Brooklyn. Indiana is sinking fast and has lost their last three and 10-of-11. In spite of their current play the Pacers and Lakers have the same record 24-28. The Lakers are 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Indiana. Pacers are 16-10 SU at home and LA is 4-9 ATS on the road against teams with winning home records. Take INDIANA! |

02-02-23 | Rice +5 v. Louisiana Tech | 72-80 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Rice at Louisiana Tech 7:00 ET Owls (+) over Bulldogs- I’m a numbers guy and really can’t say much about who is playing who on the court but number don’t lie. Rice is just a better team that not many are aware have won 15 of 21 games but one of those losses was at home to the Bulldogs 88-82 in OT on Jan 5, 2023. The Owls are 5-0-1 ATS on the road and LaTech is 5-12 ATS following an ATS win. Take RICE! |

Villanova at Marquette 8:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Golden Eagles- No. 14 Marquette has won eight of their last nine and are leading the Big East tied with Providence and Xavier. Villanova has not been the same since the departure of Jay Wright and are struggling to be .500. But the return of guard Justin Moore who missed the first 20 games which will help the Cats offense. These two are on opposite ends of the point-spread derby with Marquette 15-6 ATS and Villanova just 7-14 . The tide ebbs tonight. Take VILLANOVA. |

02-01-23 | Warriors v. Wolves +3.5 | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Golden State at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Warriors- If you are wondering like I am which Warriors team will show up then we will just have to wait and see. They last time Golden State was in Minnesota they handed the T’wolves their most lopsided defeat of the season but, at that time the Warriors were at full strength for one of the few times this season. That early season win is the Warriors only cover against the Wolves in their last five meetings in Minnesota. Take TIMBERWOLVES! |

Tennessee at Florida 7:00 ET Gators (+) over Volunteers- No. 2 Tennessee has the No.1 overall defense in NCAA action allowing just 54.4 PPG and are also No. 1 in field goal shooting defense holding opponents to 34.5% shooting. Florida who is off a 64-50 loss at Kansas State play pretty tough defense themselves ranking No. 8 in defensive efficiency leading the SEC in blocking shots per game. The Vols have won seven of the last eight meetings but the home team is 10-32 ATS in the last 12 meetings and aside from their loss to the Wildcats the Gators are 5-1 ASTS in their last six games overall.

Kansas State at Kansas 8:00 ET Jayhawks (-) over Wildcats- This one should be a ‘dandy’ of a match-up as the state rivals meet for the second time this season. The Wildcats won the first meetings two weeks ago tonight and Kansas State won 83-82 at Kansas posting just their seventh win in the last 45 meetings and the have not swept the season series from the Jayhawks in 40 years.

Miami who remains as tough to beat as ever is off a loss at Charlotte blowing an 11-point lead. These are the two top defensive teams in the NBA and in their first meeting this year the Cavaliers dominated 113-87 at home as a 7-point favorite as the Heat were without Butler and Herro. This time around the Cleveland is a much shorter favorite and the Heat take advantage. Play MIAMI! |

Virginia Tech at Miami 7:00 ET Hokies (+) over Hurricanes-Virginia Tech has one player that they can not be without and that is guard Hunter Cattoor who when missing from the lineup the Hokies are win-less. He will be ready tonight for Tech who is 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. After a 13-1 start Miami has dropped four of seven alternating wins and losses. The Hurricanes are under-sized and he just one offensive rebound against Pittsburgh last time out as they blew an eight-point lead with just 2:26 remaining in the game. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

01-31-23 | Clemson -4 v. Boston College | 54-62 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Clemson at Boston College 7:00 ET Eagles (+) over Tigers- Clemson must have their sports mixed up as their basketball team leads the ACC with a 10-1 conference record as common record for their football team but the cagers...not so much as they have never won an ACC regular season title. The Tigers only ACC loss came at Wake Forest two weeks ago tonight as they have won three straight games since. The Tigers are 10-1 against Boston College since the Eagles came over from the Big East including a perfect 5-0 at Chestnut Hill. The Eagles have yet to be a predator this season but are in a great spot here as the odds-makers see a Tigers trap. Take BOSTON COLLEGE! |

Iowa State at Texas Tech 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Cyclones- Talk about a we’ll get even with you guys game Texas tech remembers heartily the 84-50 beating they took at the handle of the Cyclones in Ames three weeks ago tonight. Iowa State shot up in the polls after that one and began to red their headlines and have dropped three of five since. State coach T.J. Otzelberger is not happy with his clubs defense as they allowed a season high 78 points at Missouri Saturday. Beating LSU is no big feat this season but that win ended and eight game losing streak for the Red Raiders and turned the tide of confidence needed to win tonight. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Baylor at Texas 9:00 T Longhorns (-) over Bears- Texas one of the more physical college basketball out there feel that they got out muscled at Tennessee on Saturday an 82-71 loss and it was never realty that close. Baylor has won six straight and a three game slide Although the Longhorns are 12-1 SU at home they are less than impressive 6-7 ATS. The Bears have been winning but against who as they are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games against teams with winning percentages above .600.

Washington at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Wizards- Washington had won five straight games and they have won the last three with Kristaps Porzingis sidelined and it appears he will be MIA once again. San Antonio has dropped five straight and 10 of 11 and have won just twice in the month of January. In the last meeting between these two in San Antonio the Spurs scored 157 in an overtime victory and they have won and covered four straight in the series. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Golden State at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Warriors- If I had told you on opening day that one day out before February that there would only be 1-game separating these two in the standings everybody would have laughed and I would never had said it anyway. Oklahoma City has been the best ATS team in the league going 31-17-1 on the season. For Golden State it has been a different story as injuries and being over-rated by the bookies haven’t helped their miserable road record of 6-18 SU. Golden State has won the last six meetings but this is the first of four meetings this season and the Thunder enter winning eight of their last 11 and are 8-1-1- ATS in their last 10. The Warriors enter having won back-to-back games for the first time in a month. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

01-30-23 | Virginia -5 v. Syracuse | 67-62 | Push | 0 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Virginia at Syracuse 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Orange- Ya know I’m not sure which mascot name change I am annoyed with most between the Red Storm for St. John’s or for Orange for Syracuse (now who exactly does it offend when calling them Orangemen...really). For this reason I will take Virginia tonight, nah I have real reasons. No. 7 Virginia was so unimpressive early but like many well coached teams they get better as the season progresses and some get much better. The Cavaliers have won six games in a row while Syracuse has dropped three-of-four and with their weaker than most seasons talent level will most likely end up in the NIT. Take VIRGINIA! |

New Orleans at Milwaukee 8;00 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- New Orleans has dropped seven in-1a-row and eight of nine with their lone win during that span coming against lowing Detroit a game in which they covered by a half-point.

The Pelicans this time around have struggled without Zion Williamson and are 4-9 ATS in their past 13 road games. The inconsistent Bucks are just 5-11-2 ATS in their last 18 games afters a SU win. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

01-29-23 | Bengals v. Chiefs -123 | Top | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 40 h 52 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Kansas City 6:30 ET Chiefs over Bengals- Truly the hype about both of these quarterbacks is well deserved and the amount of adulation that is being bestowed on Joe Burrow already has him anointed as Joe Montana, Tom Brady, and Joe Namath aall rolled into one player. Of course the fact that he has never started a losing game against either Mahomes or Brady has legendary tones already. I like the guy and how can you not and he may end up being all of those Hall of Fame greats before it is over but nobody is perfect and the Chiefs will take advantage of any mistakes no matter how big or small. Mahomes’ asset is his mobility and ability the throw accurately on the move. Last week we saw a small sample of him being ineffective while being forced to play a more stationary game. I believe that he is healthy and feels slighted because of all the attention given to his adversary and I’m expecting him to respond in a big way. Take KANSAS CITY! |

01-29-23 | Bengals v. Chiefs UNDER 48.5 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 27 h 18 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Kansas City 6:30 ET Bengals/Chiefs UNDER- At first glance I would suspect your first thought about this game is that it will be high scoring as tow of the NFL’s top quarterbacks are about to face each other in what most believe will be a shootout. This is so natural that one doesn’t consider just how good the two defenses actually are. Both teams are proficient in stopping the run ranking 7th and 8th and they both surrendered a combined 21 points each per game ranking 6th and 7th in points allowed. Cincinnati has been and Under play for some time now as they are Under 26-10-3 in their last 39 road games and 12-3 Under in January. The Chiefs are 6-1 Under in their last seven home games and the Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Play UNDER! |

San Francisco at Philadelphia 3:00 ET 49ers (+) over Eagles- Well, I believe that the two best teams in the NFC made it into the Championship game which has the No. 1 seed hosting No. 2. The storyline here is has multiple facets as the emergence of quarterbacks Jalen Hurts who many believe had this kind of potential and Brock Prudy that he was the least respected player drafted. You guys don’t need me to guide you in this game if you or even I can figure out who will win the turnover battle. San Fran is 15-0 in their last 15 games when they have either won or tied the turnover battle. Niners enter this contest riding a 12-game win streak and are 20-6 ATS in January while the Eagles are 1-6 ATS in January. Look for a purdy win...take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Washington at New Orleans 8:00 ET Wizards (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans has lost six straight as injuries to their two top players are taking its toll. Finally after missing 29 games forward Brandon Ingram has return to the line up but showed rust shooting just four of 18 in his return Wednesday while Zion Williamson has been in and out his entire career. The Wizards have won their last four and the past two without Kristaps Porzingis. Not for nunthin’ but Pels are 1-12 ATS on Saturdays. Take WASHINGTON! |

Texas at Tennessee 6:00 ET Volunteers (-) over Longhorns- Great match-up from the Big-12/SEC Challenge between a pair of Top-10 ranked teams when No. 4 Tennessee host No.10 Texas. The Longhorns have won a pair after a loss to Iowa State and are off a sweep of rival Oklahoma State. The Volunteers have won eight of nine and are playing their best ball defeating Georgia 70-41 holding the Bulldogs to their lowest scoring contest of thew season. The Vols have won 11 of its 17 games by at least 20 points and now it’s the Longhorns turn. Take TENNESSEE! |

01-28-23 | Florida +5.5 v. Kansas State | Top | 50-64 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 37 m | Show |
Florida at Kansas State 6:00 ET Gators (+) over Wildcats- This is one of those SEC/Big-12 Challenge contests where it really doesn’t effect the standing in conference play for either side. Considering that No. 5 Kansas State has already accomplished this season and I believe this line is a bit short as the Gators are a mid-land 12-8. Florida will need a big push in the rest of the season to qualify for the Big Dance and a win here would go a long way. Wildcats are 11-0 SU and 8-3 ATS at home but the Gators are 5-0 ATS away from the Swamp. Take FLORIDA! |

Baylor had their bounce back has them winning their last five including a 75-69 win over No. 5 Kansas on Monday. The Bears are just 3-7-1 ATS after a ATS win. The Razorbacks defeated LSU 60-40 on Tuesday and they are 12-2-2 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. Take ARKANSAS! |

Denver at Philadelphia 3:00 ET Nuggets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid is looking forward to playing against Denver’s two-time reining MVP Nikola Jokic who edged out Embiid twice but also captured the starting role in the upcoming All-Start game. That has lit a fire under the 76ers center and his play has been of MVP caliber as he feels slighted an dis highly motivated. The Nuggets just dropped a 107-99 battle with the bucks on Wednesday without Jokic and he is probably today. But, the price of this game is a bit shy and the Nuggets are the play. Take DENVER! |

Illinois at Wisconsin 3:00 ET Badgers (+) over Illini- On my goodness a dream come true...well, at least the way this one sets up. Wisconsin who I have said is an impostor (they can’t shoot) the pollsters had them at No. 14 but know they aren’t that good and promptly has lost five of six. Illinois as I also said was over-rated at the season’s start but have been playing better ball of late winning five of six including a 79-69 home Power Play win (-7.5) over these Badgers. Wisconsin had won 15 in-a-row in this series but have now dropped the last five straight-up. Badgers are 0-9 ATS in their last nine overall and haven’t cover a points spread since an OT win at Ohio State on Dec. 11. They win here! Take revenge...WISCONSIN! |

Alabama has a nine game winning streak and has won by double-digits in all but one and that was last time out in a 66-63 victory over Megabucks winner Mississippi State and still averaged over 20-points margins. The Sooners are 6-0 ATS in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and the Tide is 4-2 straight up in the Challenge and last season OU lost to then No. 1 Auburn. This time they are the money. Take OKLAHOMA! |

The Wolfpack is just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games and Wake Forest who lost last time out to Notre Dame and they are 9-4 ATS after a straight-up loss.

Toronto at Golden State 10:00 ET Raptors (+) over Warriors- The reining NBA Champs are struggling to get above .500 and are showing signs of emotional stress with out burst now coming from Stephen Curry. We expect that kind of behavior from Draymond Green but not from Curry. Golden State has won only four of their past 10 games one of which was their non-cover victory over Memphis Wednesday night and haven’t won consecutive games since Jan. 2.

The Lobos are 13-1 straight-up at home with their lime loss coming at the hands of UNLV back on Jan 7, but they have won their last three as hosts and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as hosts. Air Force will have problems with the Lobos No. 14 ranked offense averaging 82.5 while the Falcons undermanned club scores just 68 PPG. Take NEW MEXICO! |

Cleveland at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder over Cavaliers- This match-up had me a bit perplexed as I consider both these clubs as money makers and I hate to play against either of them. Cleveland has won 2-of-3 including a 113-95 blowout win in Houston last night. But, thing don’t always carry over to the next day as the Cavaliers are 1-6 ATS following a win by 10-points or more and they are 5-13-2 ATS in their last 20 road games. The Thunder have picked up their play and are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Minnesota moving in the other direction had won 9-of-13 to finally reach .500 on the season. The Timberwolves have won seven of eight at home while the Grizzlies are 9-16 ATS on the road and are 4-10 ATS against team with winning home records. Take MINNESOTA! |

Arizona at Washington State 11:00 ET Cougars (+) over Wildcats- Arizona has got to be feeling pretty good about themselves coming of a home sweep of the LA schools UCLA and USC where they are 11-1 on the year. Not so much on the road where the No. 8 ranked Wildcats are just 2-2 SU (1-3 ATS). The Wildcats are also 0-6 ATS against teams with losing records.

ASU is 1-5 ATS in their last six games against winning teams. The last time the Huskies were at home they won a pair at games over two of the conference’s weaker teams Stanford and California.

Dallas in the meantime are sliding out of contention losing seven of their last nine and eight of their last 11. Phoenix center Deandre Ayton has missed the last three games and is listed as probable and his effectiveness can be questioned. The Mavericks seem to have the suns number eliminating them from the playoffs last years and are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take DALLAS! |

Iowa who was 8-6 on the season had won four in-a-row until getting pummeled in the second half against Ohio State and surrendered the most points allowed this season losing 93-77. The Hawkeyes are 7-1 ATS after allowing 90 or more points the previous game. Michigan State has lost 3-of-4 including an 82-69 beating at Indiana on Sunday.The Spartans forward Malik Hall has miss the last three games due to a foot injury and will be out again tonight.

The Kings just annihilated Memphis (who many consider a potential Finals team from the West) 133-100 on Monday and have won seven of eight and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six home games.

Memphis at Golden State 10:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- One week ago Memphis was considered the a top choice to reach the Finals from the West but now that they have lost three straight...not so much. Their current down turn comes after an 11-game win streak that vaulted them to a 5-game lead and the top spot in the Southwest. The Warriors handled the Grizzlies 123-109 on Christmas day by using a 40-point third quarter and they were without Stephen Curry. The Griz were crushed 133-100 on Monday by the Kings but are 40-15 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Take MEMPHIS! |

Atlanta at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Hawks over Thunder- Oklahoma City has improved so much in one season that when they win their next game they will have equaled last year’s win total. They have won seven of their last nine and have posted a win (121-114) in Atlanta over the Hawks in December. The Thunder are the leading ATS team in the NBA and are 30-16-1 against the spread on the season. Atlanta has dropped their last two games after a modest four game win streak and are 5-1 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more. The fact that the Hawks opened the favorite here gives me pause and directs me away from the Thunder. Take ATLANTA! |

Kentucky at Vanderbilt 9:00 ET Commodores (+) over Wildcats- The Kentucky Wildcats under John Calipari have had a philosophy of recruiting top high school players each season who will be one and done. This was a successful formula in 2012 when the Wildcats last won the NCAA Championship but has shown that they can’t sustain that any long with the new NIL rules. Vanderbilt has been steady and are 7-4 SU at home while the Wildcats are just 1-2 in true road games and 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall while the Commodores are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

Ohio State at Illinois 7:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Illini- Both of these Big Ten squads have be considered a disappointment at this point of the season. Illinois was ranked as high as No. 6 during the early season polls but haven’t play like even a Top-10 or 20 team already having lost six games including a 80-65 home loss to Indiana last Thursday and have been sitting home rehashing the last four days. Ohio State had lost five in-a-row until their 93-77 home win over Iowa Saturday bringing their home record to 8-2.

Miami was off to a 13-1 start but have dropped in the polls after losing 3-of 5 while Florida State started 1-9 but have won six of their last 10. The Seminoles have won their last two games and are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Ole Miss has dropped seven of their last eight games SU but the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. From what we see here it appears that the Rebels will post a win tonight.

Kansas at Baylor 9:00 ET Bears over Jayhawks- I would expect that No.2 Kansas will take a huge fall in the polls as they lost twice this past week to Kansas State and then TCU by 23 at ending a 16-game home winning streak. Baylor is headed to the other direction after they dropped their first three Big-12 contests and have now rallied with four straight wins. Although Kansas has dominated this series going 35-8 SU but they have split games (3-3) the last three seasons. The Bears and Jayhawks have one thing in common as they both lost to Kansas State in overtime. KU is 10-0 ATS after losing by 20-points or more and the road team is 24-11-1 ATS in the last 36 meetings and the underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. But when you’re hot you are hot.

Atlanta at Chicago 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Bulls- Often times we in the handicapping world consider road trips and travel of a team as a factor but, how do you factor a road trip where their last game was played in Paris...no not Paris, Texas (been there) but Paris, France (been there too). Atlanta was on a five-game winning streak in the states until Charlotte handed them a 122-118 loss blowing a 19-point lead where All-Star Trae Young was 1-of-12 from the floor. The high flying Hawks have been ground in Chicago where they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings and the Bulls are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven home games.

The Hokies are even worse losing seven in-a-row both SU and ATS to the closing number. Virginia Tech’s last win against a Division I school came over Oklahoma state on Dec. 11.

Dallas at San Francisco 6:30 ET Cowboys (+) over 49ers- How bout dem Cowboys...a huge win for Dallas last week over the offensively limited Buccaneers and now it is off to the Bay area in what NFC fans consider a classic match-up. San Francisco brings the No. 1 defense against the NFL inception leader in Zak Prescott who has thrown 16 to the opposition while missing five and a half games. After last weeks win I was sure that I would be on the 49ers but the odds maker has deemed this the bogus line on the week.The price here is ridiculously low for the two teams resume and looks way too inviting for the favorite. Cowboys 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games and the road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take DALLAS! |

Toronto after that win at MSG went directly to Miami and then to Minnesota before returning home and losing to the Celtics.last night. The Knicks are trending in a more positive way than their record against the Raptors might indicate as they are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Toronto but they are 26-8 ATS in their last 34 road games including 17-5 ATS on the road against teams with winning records.

Cincinnati at Buffalo 3:00 ET Bills (-) over Bengals- One of the most surprising aspects of the Bengals season is that they were the Super Bowl loser and had the best point spread record (13-4) in the NFL this season. Cincinnati was so lucky to survive a flawed Ravens team last week when we all saw it the game swung 14 points on one play. Usually, it is said that one play among all the plays in a game will not be the difference...HA. The Bengals are without three offensive line starters and although Joe Burrow has been able to withstand numerous sacks in the past it all will take its toll sooner or later. They were out-gained in both of their last two games by Baltimore and have been behind in yardage to opponents in 11 of their 16 games. Take BUFFALO! |

But, already three times this month Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have just played their third game together this month as they have missed playing together 41 times. The Clippers had lost nine of 11 before their return and now believe they can surprise some people the rest of the way. Dallas has dropped three in-a-row but a day after getting reamed by coach Jason Kidd for their lack of defensive effort scored a 115-90 win over Miami on Friday. But, I’m afraid that was a one-game effort and they will fall back once again as the line says that they are in trouble here as the Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings in Dallas. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

His most important contribution was the 80 yards rushing on seven attempts that kept New York’s drives alive. Playing against the Vikings defense was a treat that the Giants won’t see again. Ole Danny Dimes will have to deal with the NFL’s No. 1 passing defense and the No. 2 defense overall allowing just 301 YPG. New York’s defense who people are raving about their improvement is still ranked No. 25 allowing 358 YPG while the Eagles offense is No. 3 overall gaining 390 YPG. Hurts will be back after four weeks (all non-covers). This time they hold court. Take PHILADELPHIA! NOTE: Originally this game was posted in error with the Giants as the side...They are NOT. |

01-21-23 | Virginia Tech +2 v. Clemson | Top | 50-51 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
Virginia Tech at Clemson 6:00 ET Hokies (+) over Tigers- Okay here it is! There is some kind of business (money business for the Tigers to open just a two-point favorite. Let us review the facts. Clemson who in 70 years in he ACC has one just one regular season title and no ACC Playoff titles is leading the conference (7-1) and is a perfect 10-0 at home. Now, the down trodden Virginia Tech is 0-6 on the road for the season and have lost their last six games overall and haven’t defeated a Division I school since Dec 11. So, why are the Conference leaders such a meager favorite at home against this pitiful club...I sure hope they are doing business...Money Business (otherwise we have no shot). Expect something unusual it is our only hope. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

01-21-23 | Celtics v. Raptors +1.5 | Top | 106-104 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
Boston at Toronto 5:00 ET Raptors over Celtics- Toronto returns home after a three-game rod trip where they opened with a win at New York but lost at Milwaukee and Minnesota. Boston of course won a come-from-behind overtime victory over Golden State on Thursday. Considering these two clubs overall record and past series results I find this spread to be ludicrous as the Celtics are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Toronto. Yet, the odds-makers tell us that this is a virtual pick-em affair. This one smells...Take TORONTO! |

Marquette at Seton Hall 4:00 ET Pirates (+) over Golden Eagles- Seton Hall pulled off their biggest win of the season on Wednesday defeating No. 15 Connecticut erasing a 17-point deficit posting their fourth straight win. The Pirates are brimming with confidence and are looking forward to the challenge of another ranked team biting the dust. Marquette has built a decent resume going 11-1 at home but in true road games are just 3-3 SU and are off a home win and cover 83-75 over Providence on Wednesday. The underdogs is 21-7 ATS in the last 28 meetings. They play each other tough. Take SETON HALL |

01-21-23 | Virginia -2.5 v. Wake Forest | 76-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 46 m | Show | |
Virginia at Wake Forest 2:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Demon Deacons- This match-up seems a bit odd as wake forest who just handed Clemson their first ACC loss of the season and is 10-0 SU at home is an underdog to a struggling Virginia team that is ranked No. 10 (I don’t know how) and is 6-11 ATS on the season and 1-4 ATS on the road. The Demon Deacons ended a nine game losing streak to the Cavaliers last season so Virginia will start a new streak today with the No. 11 defense which only allows 59.9 PPG leads he way. Take VIRGINIA! |

01-21-23 | Syracuse v. Georgia Tech +3 | Top | 80-63 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 43 m | Show |
Syracuse at Georgia Tech 12:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Orange- The Engineers from Georgia Tech better figure a way to get the ball into the basket. On a 4-game losing streak and 6-of-7 the Yellow Jackets come off one of the more abysmal shooting performances by anyone this season making just 2-of-21 from beyond the arc against NC State Tuesday. This is the third straight home game for Tech and they have had four days of shoot-arounds to sharpen their eyes. Syracuse who is nothing special this season blew an 11-point lead at No. 17 Miami losing 82-78 on Monday. The underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

Boise State at New Mexico 11:00 ET Broncos (+) over Lobos- I’ll always remember my first college basketball game at Madison Square Garden when I was 10 years old and the New Mexico Lobos were first team introduced and I learned that a Lobo was a dog of some sort. But this year’s cage club are not dogs as they average 81.9 PPG ranking No. 16 and are a stellar 11-6-1 ATS on the season. Their nemesis today plays a different style of basketball as they are ranked No. 15 on defense allowing just 60.6 PPG and are an even more impressive 12-5-1 ATS this season. When push comes to shove it is more difficult for an offensive to to slow down when facing a deliberate style offense. Take BOISE STATE! |

Oklahoma City at Sacramento 10:00 ET Thunder (+) over Kings- These two clubs are among the most improved in NBA action this season as the Thunder are just 1-game under .500 and are a leading 29-16 ATS this season. Sacramento has canceled their early May golf tournament and are now making plans for the playoffs. The Kings have won their last five and OKC are winners in their last four. Both clubs are hot but the Thunder are taking everyone by surprise and the bookies haven’t caught up with them as of yet as they are 41-19 ATS in their last 60 road games. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

The Knicks are 26-7 ATS in their last 33 road games and are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 meetings in Atlanta. The Hawks are just 4-12 ATS following a straight-up win. Take NEW YORK! |

Golden State at Cleveland 7:30 ET Cavaliers (-) over Warriors- Golden State doming off a disappoint overtime loss at Boston last night where they held the lead for most of the game until the final score was posted. Now, we would all agree that Boston is a better team than Cleveland...right! Okay, then why is a better team (the Celtics) smaller a favorite over the Warriors than are the Cavaliers. Golden State won’t be ready tonight. Take CLEVELAND! |

Philadelphia at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over 76ers- There is plenty of fodder for this contests with each teams bringing prolific scores to the encounter. Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid is torching the nets and blocking shots and rebounding like a madman averaging 35/7 points in his last six game. His counterpart for the Trailblazers Damion Lillard has had a six game run scoring 44 and 40 in the last two and averaging 39 PPG. The 76ers have been notoriously bad on the road in recent seasons but this year seem have made more of an effort on the road goin11-9 SU but are still 2-7 ATS on the road against teams with winning records. Blazers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games at home and ZI have more. Philly is 16-2 ATS in the last nine meetings and 0-4-2 ATS in the last six in Rose City. Take PORTLAND! |

On Dec. 10 as a 2.5-point underdog the Warriors handled the Celtics 123-107. These two mirror each other in many ways and they are No. 1 & 2 in 3-pointers made per game with Golden State making 16.3 per game and Boston is right on their heels making 15.6. They also mirror each other in their road and home appearances as Boston is 17-5 at home while the Warriors are 5-17 SU on the road.

Cleveland at Memphis 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Grizzlies- Boy, would I love to be in Memphis tonight as two really good basketball teams will play the game the way it was meant to be seen. Especially of course for Ja Morant because he belongs in the next higher league. I mean really forbid I say this but he has longer hang time than MJ. The Cavaliers have one weapon that can possible match Ja for points if not at lea for style and that is Donovan Mitchell but he pulled up lame in the 3rd quarter Monday and his status is unknown. Cavaliers are 8-3 ATS when playing winning teams above .600 and 21-9 ATS in the last 30 meetings and 4-1 ATS in last five in Memphis. Take CLEVELAND! |

Atlanta at Dallas 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Mavericks- Great fodder for this game is the comparisons between each teams Super Star who were drafted No. 3 Luca Doncic by Atlanta and Dallas drafted Trae Young No. 5 and they were immediately swapped for each other. Both have thrived as pro’s and both teams claim success and are happy with the results of the deal. Atlanta has won their last three games getting to .500 with the return of Clint Capella and have a fully intact rooster for the first time this season. Dallas returns home after five game western swing and only won once...when playing the Lakers. Sometimes thing just don’t seem to make sense like when one team for one reason or another always gets the better of the other and it is not always the better team with the edge. In this series the Hawks are 13-4 ATS in the last 17 meetings including 6-2 ATS at Dallas. Who knows why...Take ATLANTA! |
