Purdue at Michigan 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Wolverines- Michigan started this season 7-0 and jumped from the unranked to No. 4 after defeating Gonzaga 82-64 in the Battle 4 Atlantis back in November but have lost four of their past seven including an 87-69 loss to Michigan State last time out. Purdue is off of a humiliating 63-37 loss at Illinois where they set a school record for futility by shooting just 25% from the floor. The Boilermakers are 4-0 ATS in their last four after a SU loss but just 3-9-1 ATS in their last 12 as a road underdog. 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! |

01-08-20 | Illinois +4.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 71-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
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. Made up the slack with two other centers down. Illinois has dropped 15 straight to the Badgers and just ended a 4-game losing streak with a great defensive effort against Purdue. 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! |

But Iowas State is 5-1 ATS in their last six after a SU loss and the Jayhawks are just 3-10 ATS on the road. Take IOWA STATE! |

Toronto at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Raptors- After winning the NBA title the Raptors started the season in fine fashion playing like true champions winning 21 of their first 27 games and then the injury bug hit. Last night Toronto had three starters down and had a late lead against Portland and then their fourth starter when down as Fred VanFleet went to the sideline with a hamstring injury and the Raptors fell short once again and have lost five of their last eight. Charlotte is just 2-6 ATS in his last eight games overall and have are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games as well as 2-5 ATS in their last seven as an underdog. Toronto is 1-3 in the second of back-to-back contests. Take CHARLOTTE! |

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. Kansas State doesn't seem to have the firepower of years past as they are just 7-6 SU and a miserable 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games and 2-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

01-07-20 | Blazers +3 v. Raptors | Top | 101-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
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. Toronto won the first meeting 114-106 in Portland in mid-November with Pascal Siakam scoring 36 points but are now 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a win. 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. That's all well and good but this 'price' tells that the Raptors just don't have it together without Siakam in the lineup. Take PORTLAND! |

01-06-20 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma State +1 | Top | 55-41 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
West Virginia at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Mountaineers- West Virginia has already had a 'comeback' season at 11-2 as they were 15-21 under Bob Huggins. Oklahoma State was blown out in their Big-12 opener 85-50 by Texas Tech as they scored just 20 points in the second half but respond after defeats going 6-1 ATS following a straight-up loss. That fits well with against the Mountaineers who are 8-17-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite and the fact that the Cowboys are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |
|||||||

Utah at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Jazz- When these two clubs met in early November Utah scored a season high 128 points as Donovan Mitchell also scored a season high 37 points. New Orleans of course had a rough start to the season but have played well of late winning five of their last six. Speaking of playing well of last the Jazz have won their last five games SU and are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games overall and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 meetings in New Orleans. The Pelicans are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games overall and 5-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Minnesota at Cleveland 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Timberwolves- The lowly Cavaliers who have lost their last three had a mini steak where they won four of five including a win at Minnesota. The Timberwolves who are 3-2 since injuries to Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins after an 11-game losing streak and are just 1-4 ATS as favorites and 1-6-1 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. Cleveland who is 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games overall are 5-2 as a home underdog and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the T'wolves. Take CLEVELAND! |

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! |

Iowa vs Penn State 2:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Nittany Lions- Two more Top-25 ranked teams in the Big Ten hook-up at the Palestra in Philadelphia a place where neither of these two teams have much experience. Both clubs are on 4-game winning streaks with Penn State's biggest win over Maryland at home and Iowa has wins over Cincinnati and Minnesota. After that win State vaulted into the Top-25 the first time that they have been ranked since 1996. Iowa is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games on neutral sites while the Lions are 16-6-2 ATS in their last 24 games overall. The Hawkeyes are led by Big Ten leading scorer Luka Garza who is averaging 21.6 points and 10 rebounds per game. More big game experience for the Hawkeyes. Take IOWA! |

Miami at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Heat- Sometimes in sports one team may seem to have another club's 'number' despite the rival being an inferior squad. The Miami Heat have won three NBA titles while Orlando has yet to even appear in an NBA Final and yet the in-state rival has won eight of the last 11 meeting including 3-1 last season. The Heat are 16-1 SU at home but just 9-8 SU on the road and are 1-4-2 ATS in their last seven in Back-to-back contests. Orlando is just 2-5-1 ATS as a home underdog but are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take ORLANDO! |

St. Mary's at San Francisco 11:00 ET Dons (+) over Gaels- Oh gone are the glory days of Bill Russell and K.C. Jones (some need to look that up) when the Dons ruled the college basketball world. Still, at 11-4 San Francisco has become more respectable and are looking to compete in the West Coast conference against the likes of Gonzaga, Brigham Young and tonight St. Mary's. The Gaels have won four straight and 9-of-10 with the lone loss to No. 20 Dayton and are undefeated since. San Francisco is off of an overtime loss to a tough Harvard team but are 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings at home and the home team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Oregon v. Colorado +110 | Top | 65-74 | Win | 110 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
Oregon at Colorado 9:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Ducks- This is the Pac-12 opener for both squads with identical 11-2 records but that's where the likeness ends. Oregon is ranked No. 6 in the nation while Colorado isn't even on the pollsters radar. The Buffs lead the series 11-8 including 8-0 in Boulder winning last season 73-51. Their is a conflict of trends surrounding this game as the Ducks are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games but the Buffaloes are 7-1 ATS as a home underdogs and the home teams is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take COLORADO! |

Utah at Chicago 8:05 ET Bulls (+) over Jazz- The Jazz who have won three straight and 8-of-9 going 7-2 ATS are off of their best defensive effort of the season holding the Pistons to just 81 points on Monday. Utah is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall but are just 105 ATS after a win by 10-points or more. Chicago is off of a beating by Milwaukee but are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after a straight-up loss. The Bulls are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings including a 114-83 loss in their last meeting. This time take the BULLS! |

01-01-20 | Blazers v. Knicks +4 | Top | 93-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
Portland at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Trailblazers- Things can change pretty quickly in the NBA and the fall of the Trailblazers didn't take long. Portland who made to the Western Conference Finals last season are 14-20 on the years having lost their last four and don't have much hope of making the playoffs at all this season. New York hasn't had aspirations of getting to the post season and they fired their coach David Fizdale when they were 4-19 and they have gone 5-6 since under Mike Miller. The Blazers have won six straight in the series but that ends tonight! Take the KNICKS! |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Mavs v. Thunder +2 | Top | 101-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
Dallas at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Mavericks- All eyes will on Luca Doncic tonight to see how he is faring after going into concussion protocol as he averages 28.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists (really impressive numbers to say the least). Dallas the most improved team in the NBA this season is 10-3 ATS as a favorite and are 15-5-2 ATS after a SU loss and are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. OKC is 7-2 ATS as a home underdog and are 46-22-3 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

12-30-19 | Harvard v. San Francisco -5 | Top | 84-81 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Harvard at San Francisco 9:00 ET Dons (-) over Crimson- Sunday I thought it odd that Harvard was favored on the road against a Pac-12 team in California and they delivered with a 71-63 win over the Golden Bears. Now, Harvard going to San Francisco where the Dons have struggled as a home favorite 3-8 ATS and the Crimson are 21-5-1 ATS as road underdogs. But, what gets me here is that the Crimson are favored and defeat a Pac-12 club and yet come up and underdog against a West Coast Conference team. Take SAN FRANCISCO |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Bucks v. Bulls +6.5 | Top | 123-102 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Bucks- The day-in-and-day-out riggers NBA play has hit the Bucks as some are ailing including Giannis Antetokounmpo who is nursing a sore back. Milwaukee who wants it known that they believe that the are the leagues best are 21-9-1 ATS on the road against sub-500 teams. But, Chicago has found a groove and have won five of their last six including a 116-81 win as a 9.5-point favorite over Atlanta last time out. The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five and get another win here. Take CHICAGO! |

12-29-19 | Rockets v. Pelicans +4 | Top | 112-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
Houston at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Rockets- 'Breakup the Pelicans' is the new word around the NBA as New Orleans has put together a three-game winning streak and wins in four of their last five games. Houston who defeated the Nets at home last night is 4-1 ATS in their last five but are 3-7 ATS against teams with a losing record and 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Pelicans. Add that Rockets center Clint Capela sat out last night's win and is day-to-day. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Oklahoma City at Toronto 6:00 ET Thunder (+) over Raptors- Oklahoma City has made it over the 500 mark with an overtime win at Charlotte Friday and have won five of their last seven and 10 of their last 15 while the Raptors get revenge from a Christmas Day loss to the Celtics. Toronto who is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 home games have had problems with the Thunder when hosting. The Thunder are 4-0 ATS in their last four stops in Toronto and and 5-1 ATS in their last six as a road underdog. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

12-29-19 | Harvard -3 v. California | Top | 71-63 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
Harvard at California 6:00 ET Crimson (-) over Golden Bears- Really now...it seems a bit 'off' that in this meeting of the 'minds' has Harvard an Ivy League school favored on the road 3,000 miles from home against a major conference the Pac-12. This even becomes more interesting when 'we' see that the Bears are 6-1 SU at home and the Crimson are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. This one smells worst than Boston's and Berkley's politics. Take HARVARD! |

12-28-19 | Pacers v. Pelicans +1 | Top | 98-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Indiana at New Orleans 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Pacers- The surging Pelicans have won two in-a-row and neither of those wins came at home where they are 0-6 ATS in their last six as hosts. Indiana is off of a heartbreaking loss at Miami last night and are 2-5 ATS in the second of back-to-back contests. For whatever reason the Pacers seem to struggle against New Orleans going 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. The improving Pels are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games and are 15-7 ATS after a win of 10-points or more. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

12-27-19 | 76ers v. Magic +3.5 | Top | 97-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over 76ers- The last time Orlando defeated a team with a winning record was in November and that was a home win over the 76ers. Philadelphia is just pounded Milwaukee 121-109 Christmas Day (Megabucks winner) and have won their last three. In that victory the 76ers set a franchise record with 21 3-pointers made and even coach Brett Brown said 'it was just one of those nights.' The Magic just defeated the Bulls at home after having lost their previous three on the road. Philly is 1-4 ATS as road favorites and are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. Good spot for Sixers letdown. Take ORLANDO! |

12-26-19 | Grizzlies +6.5 v. Thunder | Top | 110-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Memphis at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Thunder- Eight days ago the Grizzlies blew a 24-point led at OKC and have now dropped three of four starting with that 126-122 loss and they followed that by allowing the Spurs to shoot 67% in a 145-115 beating. The Thunder meanwhile have won three more games including comebacks that 24-point comeback and an 18-point comeback win over Chicago. Although Memphis is 3-8 ATS in the last eight meetings in Oklahoma City they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog and 6-2 ATS after an ATS loss. Take MEMPHIS! |

12-25-19 | Bucks v. 76ers +3.5 | Top | 109-121 | Win | 100 | 18 h 9 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Philadelphia 2:30 ET 76ers (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee enters Christmas Day the NBA's premier contest as the league's best and are a road favorite against what many consider their toughest road test. The Bucks have won 21 of 22 and have been blowing-out the opposition while the Sixers are stumbling at 1-3-1 ATS in their last five overall. But, Philadelphia raises to the level of their competition as they are 26-9 ATS at home against teams with winning records over 60%. Add that they are 5-1 in their last six as a home dog...take 76ERS! |

Utah at Miami 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Heat- Utah is on a five-game win streak including their last two on the road and look to sweep this 3-game road trip. The Jazz have come alive behind center Rudy Gobert who has had 12 straight double-doubles and is averaging 17.4 points per games and 14.3 rebounds. Miami has had their way with the league to date this season going 13-4 ATS as a favorite and 12-3-1 ATS at home while the Jazz are just 2-7 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog. But, Utah is hot and are 4-1 ATS in the last five visits to Miami. Take the JAZZ! |

L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City 7:05 ET Thunder (+) over Clippers- Oklahoma City opened the season 5-10 but have turned things around since going 9-4 SU and a win here will lift them over .500. Los Angeles is coming off of a 134-109 win at San Antonio last night and there is always a question as to whether Kawhi Leonard will play or not in the second of back-to-backs. The Clippers are 7-2 in their last nine games as favorites but they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games at OKC and the Thunder are 8-3 in their last 11 as an underdog. Take the THUNDER! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Yale +5 v. Clemson | Top | 54-45 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
Yale at Clemson 4:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- The first thing that drew me to this contest is that an ACC club is such a meager favorite over an Ivy League school. I mean Yale is 9-3 and has won six straight but hasn't played since December 11 when they defeated U Mass. The Bulldogs have three losses two of which came against major conferences as they lost to Oklahoma State and Penn State before starting their current win streak. Clemson had lost four straight before upending mighty Jacksonville. Tigers have no bite and the claws don't exist. Tae YALE! |

12-21-19 | Clippers v. Spurs +6 | Top | 134-109 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Clippers- What happened the other night? When I tuned in the Clippers had a huge double-digit 15-point halftime lead over the Rockets and then completely fell apart in the 3rd quarter getting out-scored by 18 points and committing number technicals down the stretch. San Antonio climbs back to .500 and has won five of their last eight and are doing it with defense which they play much better at home where they are 73-14 lifetime over the Clippers. Take the SPURS! |

12-21-19 | San Diego State -5.5 v. Utah | Top | 80-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
San Diego State vs Utah 6:30 ET Aztecs (-) over Utes- Undefeated and No. 20 ranked San Diego State (11-0) gets a shot at Utah who is fresh off of an upset win Wednesday night over Kentucky. The Utes shot 55% for that game including 60% with 3-pointers and I don't expect them to have that kind of success against State's defense which ranks 13th nationally surrendering just 56/6 points per contest while holding opponents to 36.7% field goal rate and just 25.8% froM behind the arc. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |

12-21-19 | Purdue +2.5 v. Butler | Top | 61-70 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
Purdue vs Butler 2:30 ET Boilermakers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 1y Butler has just one blemish on their record as they dropped a 53-52 decision at No. 10 Baylor and have shown grit in that loss. Purdue at 7-4 has player the tougher schedule and have defeated then undefeated and No. 7 ranked Virginia. The Boilermakers rely on their defense that allows opponents just 59 points per game and they hold opponents to 24 percent shooting from behind the arc. Take PURDUE! |

Dallas at Philadelphia 8:00 ET 76ers (-) over Mavericks- Philadelphia was handed their first home loss to Miami Wednesday and it was their second consecutive after getting blown out at Brooklyn 109-89. Critics were on Joel Embiid's case a week ago and he responded with a dominating performance at Boston in a 115-109 victory. Since then Embiid has become pedestrian once agin. Dallas who has been outstanding on the road going 10-1 ATS in their last 11 and is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Mavericks once again will be without Super-Star Luca Doncic and his absence will be felt here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

12-19-19 | Lakers v. Bucks -4 | Top | 104-111 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
L.A. Lakers at Milwaukee Bucks (-) over Lakers- This is like an old fashion shoot-out between the fastest 'guns' in the West. Both the Lakers and Bucks share the NBA's best record at 24-4 and have been denominate doing it. He funny thing about this matchup is that with all that winning both clubs are coming off of a loss. Milwaukee had an 18-game win streak ended by Dallas 120-110 and look to rebound here against LA. The Lakers got ambushed at Indiana 106-102 (Megabucks winner) and will be without Anthony Davis to night and Kyle Kuzma and Rondo are still out. Love LeBron but I am part Greek so go with the 'Freak.' Take MILWAUKEE! |

12-18-19 | Raptors v. Pistons +3.5 | Top | 112-99 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Toronto at Detroit 7:05 ET Pistons (+) over Raptors- I question why this line is so low when we are aware that the Pistons two big guns Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are day-to-day. Okay, so Toronto is 15-6 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite while Detroit is 6-15-1 ATS as an underdog but the Raptors are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Piston have responded after a poor performance going 5-1 ATS after an ATS loss. In a surprise the Pistons get it done tonight. Take DETROIT! |

12-18-19 | Tennessee v. Cincinnati +2 | Top | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 6 h 34 m | Show |
Tennessee at Cincinnati Bearcats (+) over Volunteers- Both of these clubs are coming off of losses with Tennessee losing to Memphis at home while the Bearcats lost at home against Colgate. The Volunteers who play great defense is shooting just 42% from the floor and have yet to allow 70 points to an opponent this season. The Bearcats had a five-point lead with just over a minute to go and allowed Colgate to score the final six points for a 67-66 loss. Tennessee is 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall while Cincinnati is just 2-10 in their last 12 as an underdog and only 8-23 ATS in their last 31 games overall. These trends are ugly on each side but I'll take the home dog here. Take CINCINNATI! |

12-17-19 | Nets v. Pelicans +2.5 | Top | 108-101 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Brooklyn at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Nets- Defense is the key to the Pelicans 12-game losing streak as they don't play much of it allowing 121.4 points per contest as they await the debut of Zion Williamson. Brooklyn on the other end of the perspective just took down Philadelphia 109-89 and their defense was the focal point of their victory. The Nets are 10-5 SU without Kyrie (The World is Flat) Irving and 4-7 with him so it's 'addition by subtraction.' Although Brooklyn is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall they are just 3-8 ATS after winning a game by more than ten points. Take NEW OREANS! |

12-16-19 | Heat v. Grizzlies +4.5 | Top | 111-118 | Win | 101 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
Miami at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Heat- Along with Dallas the Miami Heat have been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NAB this season currently at 19-7 they invade Memphis where the 7-19 Grizzlies will they and win their four game in five tries. Miami is off of an overtime 122-118 win at Dallas after falling to the Lakers the night before (Friday). Considering the records of these two I believe that this 'line' is a bit short and the Book-makers are looking to take all of the Heat action they can get. Here is Miami 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and 10-4 as a road favorite and yet are such a meager favorite here. It appears that injuries to the Heat's starting line-up will take its toll here as the Grizzlies younger player begin to mature. Take MEMPHIS! |

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 6:00 ET Nets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is now 14-0 at home and have won five straight and 9-of-10 and 13 of their last 15 contests. Brooklyn who is 9-5 without Kyrie Irving have dropped two straight for the first time since his absence are coming off of one of their worst shooting nights of the season at Toronto. Although the Sixers are off of a huge win at Boston they are just 1-5-1 ATS as a road favorite and on the other hand the Nets are 4-0 ATS as a home underdog and are 7-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take BROOKLYN! |

N.C State at NC Greensboro 3:00 ET Spartans (+) over Wolfpack- Now, does this seem right? An 7-2 ACC school like NC State is a meager favorite at Greensboro and that just doesn't look right. State has won three of the last four meetings but covered on once and the Wolfpack is 0-5 ATS when play a team with a better than .500 record. Greensboro id 4-0-1 ATS in their last five as a home underdog and this 'price' is way to shallow. Take the SPARTANS! |

Gonzaga at Arizona 10:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Bulldogs- A great matchup in the West where a pair of 10-1 teams face-off in Tempe in what could be a match of potential respective conference winners. No. 6 Gonzaga's lone loss came against Michigan while the No. 14 Wildcats were handed their lone loss at Baylor and have dropped four of their last five ATS. The rap on both these squads especially Gonzaga is the quality of schedule played. The Bulldogs have won the last three meetings including a 91-74 home win over the Wildcats last season. Cats get their revenge here. Take ARIZONA! |

Los Angeles of course is contending and have won four straight going 4-0 ATS in their last four as favorites. I imagine that the Clippers are gong to try a little loan management tonight as this is there second of back-to-back contests and their three road games in four nights. Taker CHICAGO! |

Seton Hall at Rutgers 4:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Pirates- No. 22 Seton Hall is slipping fast having lost two of their last four games against solid competition and now they are without Sandro Mamukelashvili (go ahead try and pronounce that) who is their leading rebounder , shooter and second in scoring. Rutgers on the other hand has a balanced attack that has nine different players seeing at least 10 minutes playing time each game. This is a bit of a rivalry and the underdog is 19-7 ARS in their last 26 meetings. Take RUTGERS! |

Tonight, the Clippers are in Minnesota where the Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. As a matter of fact the Clippers are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Minny and are 21-9 ATS as road favorites. But, they are coming off of an emotional win and Clippers are just 6-6 SU on the road and may be flat here. Take MINNESOTA! |

Philadelphia at Boston 8:05 ET 76ers over Celtics- Okay, here we go again! Boston who leads the Atlantic Division and is 10-0 at home host Philadelphia who is 5-7 on the road. The 'price' on this game is rather silly with the Celtics looking for avenge an opening night loss at Philly where the 76ers prevailed 107-93. Boston is 5-0 ATS when hosting the Sixers in the last five meetings and yet are not favored here. Philadelphia has won 11 of their last 13 straight-up while the Celtics are off of a 122-117 loss to (Megabucks winner) Indiana last night. The second of back-to-back games Boston falls short! Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Oklahoma City at Portland 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- To my surprise the Trailblazers are actually playing better with Carmelo Anthony winning four of the six games that he has been with the club. Oklahoma City is off of an improbable win where they out-scored Minnesota 17-5 in the overtime period. Portland already has a pair of wins over the Thunder including a 136-119 home win two weeks ago. This is a different OKC team, it's a team that shares the ball as they were the first team in 15 years to have five players score at least 20 points. As coach Donovan said it 'speaks to their unselfishness.' Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Penn State at Ohio State 12:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio Shocked the ACC world by going to North Carolina and dismantling the No. 7 Tar Heels 74-49 to move to 8-0 on the season. Both these clubs pride themselves on their defense as Ohio State holds their opponents 10-points below their season's average and the Lions allow just 61.8 points per game. Coming off of such a huge win over Carolina the Buckeyes should be a bit full of themselves and may get caught in a Big Ten conference game. Take PENN STATE! |

Minnesota at Dallas 8:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Mavericks- Dallas without question has had the biggest turn-around season as they are 14-6 70% this year compared to being below .500. Luka Donic and Kristaps Porzingis are a combo that Dallas opponents are having difficulty handling. Minnesota has also taken great strides this year and has played better than expected going 7-2 SU and ATS on the road. This 'price' seems awful cheap and unless you realize the Wolves are 7-3 SU in the last 10 meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

No. 24 Butler is 7-0 and a respectable 5-2 ATS while Mississippi is off of a 41-point loss to Oklahoma State 78-37 as a beaten 2-point favorite. The Bulldogs just defeated Stanford 68-67 to win the Hall of Fame Classic and now play their first true road of game of the season. Mississippi who is a 3-point shooting team was just 1-of-20 from beyond the arc against the Cowboys and look to improve at home where they are 4-0 SU. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

The Rebels will be playing another undefeated club here and opened a small favorite and will most likely go off as an underdog. The Rebels have the 'mojo' as they came back from a 21-point deficit to defeat Penn State 74-72 and get it done once again. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

N.C. State vs Memphis 4:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Tigers- Both clubs enter this fray 5-1 and 3-3 ATS to date with all the fanfare going to Memphis because of the fuss over All-American James Wiseman being eligible or not (for now it's not). This game fits the bill that 'Jerry' points out has an unranked team North Carolina State favored over a ranked team No. 20 Memphis. Somehow when this scenario occurs the unranked team becomes the play. This is the first of its kind on the season and let us see what happens this year. Take NORTH CAROLINA STATE! |

Brooklyn at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Nets- So, it appears that the Celtics are not the only team that has benefited from a players departure (addition by subtraction) as they are so much better without Kyrie Irving than with him and Brooklyn is 4-1 during his absence. Cleveland is looking to win two straight for just the second time this season and are 10-2 in their last 12 home games against the Nets. Cavaliers leading scorer and rebounder Kevin Love is expected by tonight after missing the second of back-to-back games Saturday. Take CLEVELAND! |

Brooklyn has won three of four without injured Kyrie Irving and have won their last two but have been disappointing so far this season. The Knicks haven't had much success against many team sin the NBA but they are 7-2 ATS against the Nets in the last nine meetings. Take NEW YORK! |

The Musketeers are 5-0 SU but only 1-4 ATS and are playing Connecticut for the first time since 1990-91 NCAA Tournament before they joined and after the Huskies left the conference.

The Heat have won four straight and have matched their best start in franchise history. Chicago just ended a 3-game losing streak with a 20-point win over Detroit and are looking for their first pair of consecutive wins this season. The Bulls are 3-5 straight-up at home but are 4-4 ATS when playing as hosts and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Last year the road team took all three meetings this season it's turn-about.

Minnesota at Utah 9:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Utes- Utah won for fun last time out defeating Mississippi Valley State 143-49 after running out to a 70-20 halftime lead. That means the Utes scored more points in the second half which started with a 50-point lead. I believe the competition will become a little tougher tonight. Minnesota opened with a win at home over Cleveland State but have lost a pair of away games to Oklahoma and Butler ( Megabucks winner). The Golden Gophers defeated the Utes last season 78-69 and have held opponents to just 61.7 points per games this season. Take MINNESOTA! |

New Orleans has been hit with injuries that can be used as an excuse for their 2-8 SU record. Surprisingly enough the Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and will get the money here as the Clippers struggle with chemistry with George's return. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Miami at Cleveland 6:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Heat- Underrated Miami is 7-3 SU and off to their best start since LeBron James' departure and are doing it with a skeleton crew as numerous players are down or out because of injuries and suspensions. This is supposed to be another rebuilding year for Cleveland and they are just 4-6 but they are a more than respectable 6-3-1 ATS while the Heat are 7-3 ATS. New Cavaliers coach John Beilein has his young squad mixed with a few veterans playing together and they are 3-0 ATS in their last three games as well as 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Cleveland.

The 76ers are just 4-9 ATS when playing the second game of back-to-backs while the Magic are 18-8-1 ATS against the NBA Atlantic and have won 21 of 28 regular season meetings outright in Orlando.

Villanova at Ohio State 7:00 ET Buckeyes over Wildcats- A great early season match-up has a pair of undefeated ranked teams going at it in Columbus where No. 16 Ohio State will take on No. 10 Villanova. The Wildcats opened their season eight days ago by crushing Army 97-54 hardly an opponent to build a resume. The Buckeyes have won their two game both at home opening with a win over a tough Cincinnati squad 64-56 getting the win and cover. Although the Wildcats are 11-3 ATS against the Big Ten they are 0-5 ATS in their last true five road games. Take OHIO STATE! |

11-12-19 | Blazers v. Kings +2 | Top | 99-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
Portland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- Let me start my saying there has got to be something different about this Portland club this season and the Vegas 'number' are proving my point daily with the lines in their games. Here is Sacramento who lost their first five games including a loss to these Trailblazers 122-112 but have now won 3-of-4. Portland has won six of the last seven meetings going 5-1-1 ATS and I believe with those stats that this is a 'suckers' price. Another factor, beside Marvin Bradley III being out with injury the Kings lost starting point guard De'Aaron Fox on Monday due to an ankle sprain and yet this price seem way low to me. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Toronto at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (-) over Raptors- So, this is a bit different, the reigning NBA Champions the Toronto Raptors are a double-digit (for the most part) underdog on the road tonight. Of course this is because of the plus and minus that these two clubs have experienced in the off-season when Kawhi Leonard moved from the 'Great North' to sunny Los Angeles. The Raptors have actually played well without Leonard going 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS to date and have been favored in every meeting (7) since 2015. But, the tide has turned with the off-season move and the Clippers are a huge favorite here and get the cash. Take LOS ANGELES! |

Dallas at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas who just lost to the lowly New York Knicks at home last night take their perfect 3-0 road record to Memphis to play the Grizzlies (2-6) another bottom feeder. This brings the Mavericks record to 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 road games. Last season the Grizzlies took the first three meetings until the fourth matchup when Dallas posted a win and are 4-1 ATS in their last five at Dallas. Memphis rookie No. 2 draft pick Ja Morant is off of a season low eight points in a game where his backcourt partner Dillon Brooks failed to make a field goal at Orlando last night. At home things get better. Take MEMPHIS! |

Philadelphia at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over 76ers- The 76ers are playing their fourth straight road game on the western tour having lost their last two at Phoenix and Utah after defeating Portland. In two of those contests Joel Embiid served his two-game suspension and he is back while Ben Simmons is lost to a shoulder sprain. Denver took down the Sixers at home last season 126-110 as Nikola Jokic posted 32 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Too much for Philly to overcome. Take DENVER! |

11-07-19 | Celtics v. Hornets +7.5 | Top | 108-87 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Boston at Charlotte 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Celtics- I can say one thing about fading the Celtics, I don't think it's going to be a good idea in the long run. With the addition of Kemba Walker and the revitalization of Gordon Hayward Boston is once again a formidable force in the East. Since dropping their opener to the 76ers the Celtics have reeled off five straight wins while Charlotte has won their last three and has 'covered' their last four. Boston is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings but the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Chicago at Atlanta 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Hawks- Chicago had a 17-point halftime lead against the Lakers last night and managed to gang on for the 'cover' by a half-point after getting outscored 38-19 in the final period. Tonight the Bulls travel to Atlanta where the Hawks outscored San Antonio 38-22 in the final period posting a 108-100 win as Trae Young scored 28 of his 29 points in the second half. Series wise Chicago is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings including 4-0 ATS in their last four visits to Atlanta. Line is way low...take the BULLS! |

Boston at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Celtics- Boston has run off four straight win since an opening season loss Philadelphia with Kemba Walker and the return to form by Gordon Hayward and play of Jason Tatum. The Cavaliers may be a bit underrated this season with a healthy Kevin Love and Christian Thompson along with a pair of dynamic guards in Darius Garland and Collin Sexton could surprise some this season. Hopefully that surprise continues tonight. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings as hosts and the home team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take CLEVELAND! |

Kansas vs. Duke 7:00 ET Jayhawks over Blue Devils- Duke lost three Top-10 players to the NBA draft and have reloaded under Mike Krzyzewski entering his 40th year at the helm fo the No. 4 ranked Blue Devils. It looks like the Devils will rotate 11 players to start the season whereas the Jayhawks will ride senior center Udoka Azubuike who returns after seeing action in just nine games last season and Kansas is 47-9 straight-up in is 56 career starts. They Jayhawks have added Iowa graduate transfer shooting guard Isaiah Moss a former Michigan commit Jalen Wilson the pieces needed to contend for the title this season. I remember last year's opener...Duke 118, Kentucky 84 not this time. Take KANSAS! |

Dallas at Cleveland 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Mavericks- Although they blew a 10-point lead against the Lakers last time out the Mavericks are a much improved team this season with Kristaps Porzingis joining future super-star Luka Doncic who posted his second triple-double of the season in that overtime loss. Now, Dallas takes to the road where they will try and win their third straight without a loss. Cleveland is 2-0 both SU and ATS at home and veteran All-star Kevin Love has had five straight double-doubles to start the season. Take CLEVELAND! |

Brooklyn at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Nets- The Pistons opened the season with a road win against Indiana but have dropped four of five since with that lone win coming once against over the Pacers. Detroit is a little 'banged' up still have Andre Drummond who has had six straight triple-doubles and and three 20-20 games along with a reborn Derrick Rose. This is a bit of a time and place selection as the Nets took down the Lakers in Brooklyn last night while the Piston return home after a loss at Chicago. Take DETROIT! |

11-01-19 | Rockets v. Nets +4.5 | Top | 116-123 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Houston at Brooklyn 7:00 ET Nets (+) over Rockets- Well, something has to give here as both these clubs are 0-4 ATS while Houston is 3-1 SU and the Nets 1-3. Major additions to each club has changed to face of these clubs as Russell Westbrook was added to the Rockets and Brooklyn added Kyrie Irving and of course Kevin Durant who isn't expected to play this season. Houston is coming off of one of the highest scoring games in NBA history defeating the Wizards 159-158 in regulation no less. The Nets are hungrier than the Rockets and get the win here and are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take BROOKLYN! |

10-30-19 | Bucks v. Celtics +3 | Top | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- These two may end up battling each other in the Eastern Conference Finals but as of right now Milwaukee have the bragging rights. The Bucks have been a bully in this series of late going 4-0 ATS in the four meetings but the Celtics had taken four of the previous five meetings. But it was Milwaukee that ousted Boston from the playoffs last year. Of late the Bucks are 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records and are 0-4 against the NBA Atlantic and surrender 118 points per game while Boston holds opponents to 102.7 and they will play defense at home. Take BOSTON! |

Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bulls- Chicago opened the season with their bags packed and tonight they are playing their fourth game in five on the road winning once at Memphis. Cleveland is 1-2 SU but 2-1 ATS with their win in their lone home game over Indiana as a 4.5-point dog. The Bulls have dominated the series going 28-10 ATS in the last 38 meetings including 20-6 ATS at Cleveland. But, faces have changed and this version of the Bulls is like the gang that 'couldn't shoot straight.' Chicago is last in 3-point shooting an are 26th in overall shooting percentage. Tristan Thompson is healthy after battling injuries the past two seasons has been impressive (19 pts, 12.3 rebound and Kevin Love has 15.7 points and 15.7 rebounds a game. Take CLEVELAND! |

10-29-19 | Hawks +8 v. Heat | Top | 97-112 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Atlanta at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Hawks- Interesting match-up here as the 2-1 Hawks fly to Miami after a tough 105-103 home loss to the 76ers. The Heat who are 2-1 are expecting the debut of Jimmy Butler who once again is having problems getting on the playing floor missing the first three games because of a birth of a daughter. Miami has averaged 120 in his absence and it can only be a plus (hopefully) with his finally getting playing time. With, Butler ready to play there is always the chance some of the Hawks will be 'rested' in the second of their back-to-back games. Take MIAMI! |

10-28-19 | Magic +5 v. Raptors | Top | 95-104 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
Orlando at Toronto 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- To start with I was a little surprised that Orlando was favored Saturday night at Atlanta and expected better from them as they fell to Trae Young and the Hawks going just 5-31 from 3-point range. Toronto put on a defensive clinic against the Bulls holding them to just 84 points posting their second victory of the season after their loss at Boston. These two met in the first-round of the NBA Playoffs least season the Raptors winning four straight after dropping the opener after splitting four regular season games. I expect the Magic to shoot better tonight. Take ORLANDO! |

10-27-19 | Warriors v. Thunder +1.5 | Top | 92-120 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
Golden State at Oklahoma City 3:30 ET Thunder (+) over Warriors- I don't know if you saw it, I did. I watched the Warriors opening game a home loss to the LA Clippers 141-122 and what I learned is that Golden State's run of making it to five straight NBA Finals in done. OKC is 0-2 and no longer have Russell Westbrook or Paul George and without their firepower they dropped a 97-85 decision at home against the lowly Wizards. Playing at home helps where the Thunder are 5-1 ATS after a home loss while the Warriors are 0-7 ATS against teams with losing records. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

10-26-19 | 76ers v. Pistons +4.5 | Top | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over 76ers- This should end up a battle of 'big men' as the 76ers bring not only Joel Embiid to the fore court but he now has Al Horford for support. The Pistons will counter with Andre Drummond who can be dominating against lesser centers. Detroit opened the season with back-to-back games winning at Indiana and then losing at home. Although, the Sixers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight meetings and 0-6 ATS in their last six home games (dating back to last year obviously) they will come up big here. Take the PISTONS! |

06-13-19 | Raptors v. Warriors -135 | Top | 114-110 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
Toronto at Golden State 9:00 ET Warriors over Raptors- Some teams just know how to win and the Warriors are one of those teams and some teams just don't get it done when it counts most and that is the Raptors. Toronto had a six point lead with two minutes to go against the Warriors last time out and the Championship seem just about sewn up when they decide to call an unnecessary time-out which gave the Warriors time to regroup. As the newest 'Greatest player to ever play they game' (Kawhi Leonard) becomes invisible as the championship slips away. With or with out Durant take the WARRIORS! |

Golden State at Toronto 9:00 ET Warriors (+) over Raptors- All season long we have been waiting for the Warriors to turn it on and now they have no choice. If course injuries have taken its toll on Golden State and playing in five straight finals has them weary and dragging up and down the court. Toronto appears fresh and ready to go as their energy level seems to have increased as the series moves on. The front court duo of Curry and Thompson has been in synch for the most part but Cousins and Green need more production. They get it tonight! Take GOLDEN STATE! |

06-07-19 | Raptors +4.5 v. Warriors | Top | 105-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
Toronto at Golden State 9:00 ET Raptors (+) over Warriors- All season long 'we' have been led to believe that the Warriors could just turn it on anytime they wished and that they would win with or without some of their important cogs. Now, one of their key ingredients will return as the claim is that Klay Thompson's 'popped' hammy has heeled (? really) and all expect Golden State to just once again control the floor. Toronto is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to the Bay area and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take the RAPTORS! |

06-05-19 | Raptors v. Warriors -180 | Top | 123-109 | Loss | -180 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
Toronto and Golden State 9:00 ET Warriors (-) over Raptors- There are a couple of trends that are in direct conflict with each other between these two clubs entering Game 3 at Golden State. The first is that the Warriors are just 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games after an ATS win, while Toronto is 3-11 ATS in their last 14 meetings in California. But, this really may not mean much anyway if the 'Champs' don't get healthy. This point spread at home for the Warriors is the lowest of any playoff game since their championship run started five years ago. But, the thing that sticks in my head more than anything is not the Warriors injuries but the realization that Toronto doesn't know how to win. Since the playoffs started I've hear LeBron James in the best player in the NBA then it started...week 1 of the playoffs. James Harden is the 'one' best player, no Kevin Durant is the best player, no wait it's Stef Curry, no wait its the 'Greek Freak and now Kawhi Leonard is the 'new' Michael Jordan until we see him collapse when it counts. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

NBA Final Game-2 Golden State at Toronto 9:00 ET Raptors over Warriors- Golden State came charging into Toronto riding a six-game playoff winning streak and were blindsided by the Raptors who have now won five straight wins themselves. Now, after the Toronto win in the opener I believe that the Golden State 'action' will 'double-down' here as I can't see how the money would shift. The Warriors are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games against the Atlantic and the series was a bit low in my opinion to start. Toronto is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings, has the better record on the season, is the higher seed and is 41-11 SU at home! Take the RAPTORS! |

NBA Final Game-1 Golden State at Toronto 9:00 ET Raptors over Warriors- Golden State comes charging into Toronto riding a six-game playoff winning streak while the home Raptors have four straight wins themselves taking down favored Milwaukee after trailing 0-2. From what I've seen so far and I don't think it will change is that the Warriors are going to take down a huge amount of money, so much so between the series and individual games I can't see how the money could shift. The Warriors are 7-18 ATS in their last 25 games against the Atlantic and the series l'price' is a bit low in my opinion and invites Golden State action. Toronto is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings, has the better record for the season and is the higher seed and is 40-11 SU at home! Take the RAPTORS! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 8:30 ET Bucks (+) over Raptors- Milwaukee has lost three straight for the first time this season as a matter of fact they had lost two-in-a-row just twice this entire season. A week ago 'we' were saying how Kawhi Leonard was aware that he is not the best player on the floor as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo is around and he responded like a true champion. Tonight, it is a matter of survival and the Bucks will be playing aggressive on both ends of the court. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 8:30 ET Bucks (-) over Raptors- This series has gone to 'form' as far as 'we' are concerned winning with the Raptors when most had written them off. Milwaukee now seems to be the team in flux if they can't find a way to support Antekounmpo's play they are doomed but they seem to be able to do it at home. Since their opening home loss to Boston the Bucks are 4-0 both SU & ATS and they respond to losses as they are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight-up loss. Toronto meanwhile is 1-6 ATS on the road against teams with winning records over 60% and 1-5 ATS on the road overall. I hope the points don't become a factor but I will lay it...take MILWAUKEE! |
