01-01-23 | Jets -1.5 v. Seahawks | Top | 6-23 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
10* Jets (CONTRARIAN CRUSHER) This is a HUGE game for both sides. Both need a victory here to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Jets Lost 19-3 to the Jaguars last week and they've lost four in a row. Seattle is off a 24-10 loss at Kansas City, and it's lost three straight. In Mike White's three starts for New York though, the Jets are averaging 21.7 PPG and 420.3 yards. The Jets are great defensively as well, allowing just 18.8 points and 309.3 YPG. I think Geno Smith, who started out the season brilliantly but who has predictably faded over the last few weeks with his performance, will once again have a difficult time moving the ball as well. Seattle concedes a terrible 25.3 PPG. Look for the Jets to take full advantage; lay the short points! AAA Sports |

01-01-23 | Tulsa v. SMU -7.5 | 67-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
8* SMU (ATS BLOOD-BATH) Tulsa is 4-8 and SMU is 5-8. The Golden Hurricanes have lost all their bluster though, as they've lost seven of their last nine games, failing to cover in any of those matchups. Most recently it was an 89-50 defeat to Houston. On the year Tulsa is averaging 67.4 PPG. SMU is trending in the other direction. It's managed two wins in its last three games. Most recently it was an 58-57 loss to Hawaii in the Championship Game fo the Diamond Head Classic. The Mustangs are battling right now and I think they take out their frustrations here on the Mustangs. SMU is averaging 68.2 PPG and I think its much better defensively as well. Or at least, this is a great matchup for it. SMU holds an average marging of victory of nine poitns over the last ten in this series and I expect that trend to continue; lay the points, the play is SMU! AAA Sports |

01-01-23 | Jaguars v. Texans +3 | 31-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
8* Houston (SITUATIONAL PLAY) With a chance to play spoiler here at home, I like the hungry Texans to give the surging Jaguars everything they can handle. Houston has quietly been getting the job done for bettors over the last month, winining three straight ATS. They went toe-to-toe with Dallas and KC and then beat Tennessee outright 19-14 last week. Davis Mills and company won't be going down without a fight; that said, grab as many points as you can with the Texans! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-31-22 | TCU v. Michigan -7 | Top | 51-45 | Loss | -110 | 602 h 60 m | Show |
10* Michigan (DEC BOWL 'GOM') TCU messed up in its 31-28 loss at home to TCU. Or did it? It's still in the College Football Playoff, but I think the loss is a precursor to more of a decline here at the end of the month. The Horned Frogs average 40.3 PPG, but they were handled well by the Wildcats' defense, which doesn't bode well facing this aggressive Wolverines unit. Michigan comes in fired up after its 43-22 win over Purdue in the Big Ten Championship game, going on to easily cover the 16 point spread. Michigan averages 40.1 PPG, but as I mentioned above, it's defense is superior in my opinion, and much more battle tested when you look at the level of competition. The win at Ohio State was epic. The Wolverines are well-coached and I expect them to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable cover and win; lay the points, the play is the Wolverines! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Iowa -2.5 v. Kentucky | 21-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 39 m | Show | |
8* Iowa (WINNER) Why will Iowa win and cover in this game? Its defense was great all year, especially against bad or mediocre QB's. The Hawkeyes held llsix teams to ten points or less this season, which includes a 24-3 win over a good Purdue offense. Additionally, Kentucky's best and most skilled player, Levis, has already opted out and the Wildcats will likely have to turn to Destin Wade, who hasn't even taken a snap on the College level! The difference in this one is Iowa's great defense; lay the short points with confidence! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Wisc-Milwaukee +8 v. Detroit | Top | 84-81 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show |
10* Milwaukee (HORIZON LEAGUE GOM) Milwaukee enters at 8-5. I'm going to stop short in calling for an outright upset, but all signs point to this game coming "right down to the wire." Detroit is 6-8, and 4-0 at home, but I think the Titans'll have their hands full today. The Panthers won't be lacking motivation after starting out 1-4 on the road. They fell 83-61 at Oakland most recently. Detroit is coming off a win over Green Bay, but previous to that it dropped three in a row. These team's offensive and defensive numbers are similar. Look for the hungry Panthers to, at the very least, keep this one close enough to earn the comfortable ATS victory; grab the points, the play is Milwaukee! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-30-22 | Buffalo v. Michigan State -15 | Top | 68-89 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
10* Michigan State (BEST OF BEST) I think the 6-6 Bulls, who are 0-2 on the road, will stumble and fall here after winning five of their last seven. MSU is 4-1 at home already, and it comes in red hot after three straight victories. The Bulls were blown out in both of their road games already this season and everything points to another beatdown here; look for MSU's defense to be the big differnce-maker and lay the points with confidence! AAA Sports |

12-30-22 | South Carolina +3.5 v. Notre Dame | Top | 38-45 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
10* South Carolina (ASSASSIN) If you want a full review of how each team did throughout the year, there's literally tens of millions of "review" articles out there. ESPN etc. If you simply want to know why I think South Carolina will win this game, then you've come to the right place. I like being succinct with my analysis, as I truly believe the clients who purchase this information, would rather just "get to the point," than read an entire "novel" of why I believe one side or another should win. Both teams finished up strong, but without Notre Dame's best player in this one, Mayer, and its starting QB Pyne, the value here swings to the Gamecocks. South Carolina's offense started to hit its stride at the end of the season, scoring more than 30 points in its final two games. While the outright is possible, the official call will be to grab as many points as you can with the Gamecocks! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Washington v. Texas -3 | Top | 27-20 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
10* Texas (ATS BLOOD-BATH) The Longhorns finished 8-4 after beating Kansas and Baylor to end the regular season. Their two best RB's will be out for this one, and that's why this spread is so low. Despite that though, I like the rest of this team to step up and deliver the goods. Quinn Ewers has a big opportunity now to showcase his talents for Texas under center, and I think he'll be a big difference-maker in this Bowl game. The Longhorns defense was great as well, limiting teams to just 21.2 PPG. Washington is 10-2. It closed out the season with a 51-33 win over WSU in the Apple Cup. QB Michael Penix Jr. was decent, but he struggles against aggressive pass-rushing defenses like the Longhorns. The Huskies defense concedes 26.3 PPG as well. Look for TEXAS to do just enough to secure the win and cover! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Cowboys v. Titans +13 | Top | 27-13 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the Titans. Dallas came from behind to knock off PHiladelphia at home by a score of 40-34 last weekend, but I think it'll struggle to cover this large spread on the road and on the short week, despite the personel issues that Tennessee has right now. The Cowboys looked terrible defensively last week. The Titans are still in the mix for a playoff spot, sitting at 7-8 and in second place in the AFC SOuth. They've lost five straight games, but note that they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine after three or more SU losses. The Titans lost 19-14 to an improved Texans team last week with Malik Willis under center. I think the rookie benefits from that experience and will be much more efficient this evening though; look for the hungry Titans to play with pride, and to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch; grabe the points! AAA Sports |

12-29-22 | CS Bakersfield +10.5 v. Cal-Riverside | Top | 59-71 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
l0* CSU Bakersfield (BIG WEST GOY) UC Riverside won its last game, beating Portland at home, but I think it'll get caught "looking past" its lowly opponent tonight. Cal State won't be lacking for motivation today after falling 56-48 to Fresno State. This is a battle of strengths, as the Highlanders have the better offense, while the Roadrunners have the better defense. But with a tougher game at Long Beach State up next, I think the home side'll get caught looking ahead and ultimately take the foot off the gas in the second half. Look for the hungry visiting side to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch; grab the points, the play is CSU Bakersfield! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Minnesota -10.5 v. Syracuse | 28-20 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
8* Minnesota (BLOWOUT) The Orange are 7-5, but they were terrible down the stretch, losing five of their last six. The main culprit was the offense which failed to score even ten points in setbacks to Florida State and Pitt. The Gophers finished 8-4 and likely benefited in playing in a weak Big Ten West. Despite each team finishing with decent records, neither had a fantastic year. The Orange were downright terrible down the stretch though and I look for the Gophers more balanced attack to be too much for them to handle down the stretch; lay the points, the play is Minnesota! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Colorado State +6.5 v. New Mexico | Top | 69-88 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
10* Colorado State (ATS BLOOD-BATH) Colorado State is 8-5 and New Mexico is 12-0. I'm not calling for an outright upset here, but I do think the stage is set or a much closer/tighter battle than what this spread is suggesting. The Rams look to rebound off a 73-64 loss at USC. They average 76.2 PPG. New Mexico is averaging 84.5 PPG after smoking Prarie View A&M by a score of 94-63. But note that New Mexico is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after a SU/ATS home win in which it score 90 or more points in. Look for the Rams underrated defense to keep this one close down the stretch; grab the points, the play is Colorado State! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Magic v. Pistons +1.5 | Top | 101-121 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
10* Pistons (ASSASSIN) No need to overthink this one. Orlando had been the "hottest" team in the league up until last night's blowout home loss to the Lakers, winning ten straight ATS and going 8-2 SU. Now playing the second game of a B2B, I'm expecting a predictable letdown here vs. this desperate Pistons side. Detroit hits the road after this for a five-game road trip, so that puts added importance onto this contest for the home side. The Pistons held the lead in their last game vs. the Clippers for almost the the entire contest, but then allowed LA to tie it up and of course when it went to OT, Detroit failed to cover with the 6.5 points. With a chance to erase that frustrating setback from their memories, here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against; grab the points, the play is Detroit! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-26-22 | Pacers v. Pelicans -6.5 | Top | 93-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
10* Pelicans (NON-CONF GOW) Here's a great revenge play. After two straight upset road wins, I think the Pacers take a step back here tonight in New Orleans, especially as they get caught "looking ahead" to their contest at home vs. the Pacers tomorrow night. The Pels are off a 128-125 OT road at OKC. They're 13-4 at home and they do indeed play with revenge here after falling 129-122 at Indiana back on November 7th. Look for the Pacers to come out flat-footed here and for the Pels to take advantage; lay the points, the play is New Orleans! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-26-22 | New Mexico State +3.5 v. Bowling Green | Top | 24-19 | Win | 100 | 31 h 3 m | Show |
10* New Mexico State (BOWL WINNER) While I do think the outright win is possible, in the end I'll recommend that you grab as many points as you can. New Mexico State finished 6-6, crushing Valparaiso 65-3 in its season finale. Bowling Green also finished 6-6. They lost 38-14 to Ohio in their final regular season contest. The Aggies are averaging 25.6 PPG. QB Diego Pavia had 17 total TD's this year. New Mexico State has a decent defense as well that concedes 24.3 PPG. Bowling Green averages 23.8 PPG, while allowing 33.3. The line has moved a lot in this one because of transfers etc, but in a contest that I still see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points; the play is New Mexico State! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-25-22 | Bucs -7.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 19-16 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
10* Bucs (ASSASSIN) It's hard to imagine the Cardinals putting up much of a fight. On the flip-side though, Tom Brady and the Bucs have a golden opportunity here to start to turn things around, as they still have the division lead in the weak NFC South. If you've followed me for any length of time, then you know that I base my picks on many different things. Sometimes I break it down, looking at individual player matchups, take into account every detail I can get my hands on, and other times I think the "eye test," of the "KISS" method (Keep It Simple Stupid!), is the best approach. And that's the case here. Arizona has nothing to play for here except the role of spoiler, and I just can't see its patchwork line-up being able to do anything though. Give me Brady and the hungry Bucs in their most important game of the season! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-24-22 | Bengals v. Patriots +3 | Top | 22-18 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
10* Patriots (BLOCKBUSTER) Who does this game mean more to? As far as the playoff picture is concerned, there's no question that it means more to the home side. I think that motivation will be enough to, at the very least, secure the comfortable ATS cover. Cincinnati is off the 34-23 beatdown win over the Bucs, while New England fell to 7-7 after a 30-24 loss to the Raiders. The Bengals return home after this to finish of their season, with games against Buffalo and Baltimore. I say the visiting side gets classically caught "looking ahead," while I do expect Mac Jones and company to risk life and limb to keep their team's hopes alive; grab the points, the play is New England! AAA Sports |

12-22-22 | George Washington v. Washington State -11.5 | Top | 64-66 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
10* Washington State (ULTIMATE BEATDOWN) George Washington is 6-4 and Washington State is 4-6. This is part of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic Tournament. The Colonials are coming off an 83-71 win over Coppin State, while the Cougars fell 65-59 to Baylor as ten-point dogs. Previous to their most recent win, the Colonials had lost two straight. They're averaging 75.7 PPG, while allowing 70.4. Washington State is averaging 70.3 PPG, while allowing 63.9. WSU has played the stiffer competition and I think it'll finally take advantage of this favorable matchup and keep the foot on the gas from start to finish; lay the points, the play is Washington State! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Jaguars +2 v. Jets | Top | 19-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
10* Jaguars (ASSASSIN) Both teams are fighting for the playoff lives, but Jacksonville is the one that enters with a ton of momentum and I expect that to be the difference. The Jets lost at home to Detroit by a score of 29-17 in their most recent action, while the Jags rallied for a huge 40-24 OT win at home over Dallas. The Jags have gone 4-2 ATS in their last six. QB Trevor Lawrence is now unstoppable. At least he's sure been playing like that over the last month and a half. New York is just 3-3 at home. It only averages 20.1 PPG. The early magic it had at the start of the season is gone. The constant change at QB is helping things either in my opinion. Look for the Jags to continue their improbable run to the playoffs with another "shocker" on Thursday night; grab the points, the play is Jacksonville! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Air Force +3.5 v. Baylor | Top | 30-15 | Win | 100 | 12 h 1 m | Show |
10* Air Force (BLOCKBUSTER) The Baylor Bears finished 6-6, while the Air Force Falcons finished 9-3. Air Force runs the triple-option on offense, with 90% of its plays coming via the run. The Falcons won their last four games and I expect them to carry that momentum over here. Baylor started the season 6-3, but then it dropped its final three games of the season. I have a hard time seeing the Bears slowing down Brad Roberts, who was the No. 3 ranked rusher in the FBS this year with 1,612 yards for the Falcons. Baylor QB Blake Sharpen and its RB Richard Reese faded down the stretch with poor showings against K-State, TCU and Texas. The Falcons have lost three of their games by a total of 15 points. Too many changes for the Bears line-up as well right now. Look for Air Force to control the tempo of this one; the play is the Falcons! AAA Sports |

12-22-22 | Islanders +1.5 v. Rangers | 3-5 | Loss | -175 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
6* Islanders PUCK-LINE (DESTRUCTION) The Isles are 9-7-0-2 on the road this year after a tight 1-0 shootout loss at Colorado in their most recent action. They beat the Rangers 4-3 at the start of November, and I think tonight's game will also be a tight and competitive battle. The Isles average 3.15 GPG, while allowing a collective 2.73. The Rangers are just 7-6-3-1 at home this year. They're f a 3-2 loss at Pittsburgh. The Rangers average 3.24 GPG, while allowing 2.71. In a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance; the play is the Islanders on the puck-line option! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Oilers +1.5 v. Stars | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 17 m | Show | |
6* Oilers PUCKLINE (DESTRUCTION) After falling 4-3 to the lowly Predators in OT in their last game, I think the Oilers will risk life and limb here to try and steal this game in Dallas. Edmonton plays with "revenge" as well after the Stars won 6-2 North of the border at the start of November (note that the Oilers are 7-2 in their last nine in trying to avenge a three-goals or greater loss against an opponent.) Dallas is off a tight 2-1 win at Columbus, and I expect a similar close affair here as well. The outright is possible, but the official call will be to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals with the Oilers! AAA Sports |

12-21-22 | Magic v. Rockets +1.5 | Top | 116-110 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
10* Rockets (ASSASSIN) Orlando had its six-game win streak snapped on Monday, falling to Atlanta, and I think it'll have a predictable letdown here vs. this hungry Rockets side. Houston won't be lacking motivation here after a 124-105 loss to the Spurs on Monday. Remember that despite their recent success, the Magic are stil just 3-12 on the road this year. Houston has in fact lost three in a row, and this is a game that it'll feel it can win outright obviously. Orlando returns home for the Holidays after this and I think it gets caught looking ahead; clearly the outright win is a possibility, but grab as many points as you can with Houston! AAA Sports |

12-21-22 | Virginia Tech v. Boston College +9.5 | Top | 65-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
10* BC (ACC GOM) Virginia Tech is 11-1, while Boston College is 6-6. VT is coming off a very satisfying 80-72 win over UNC to kick-off Conference play, and I think it'll have a bit of a mental letdown here in the second half against BC, leaving the back door wide open for the hungry home side to sneak in through down the stretch. BC is coming off a 75-59 loss at Duke. The Hokies' numbers, including their record, are a bit skewed as well, as their non-conference strength of schedule was just 288th in the country. BC just ended a four-game slide with a 63-56 win over Stonehill. Now that the Conference schedule has arrived, we'll see these teams numbers normalize moving forward. I'm not calling for the outright or anything, but say the stage is set for a dramatic battle until the end; grab the points, the play is Boston College! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Toledo -3.5 v. Liberty | Top | 21-19 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
10* Toledo (BLOCKBUSTER) The Flames are 8-4, while the Rockets are 8-5. Liberty lost its last regular season game to New Mexico State by a score of 49-14. Former head coach Hugh Freeze is gone to take over at Auburn, and a few players left via the transfer portal. The Flames have a tough defense that holds its opposition to just 4.9 yards per play, but a few of their top defenders are gone. Toledo has had less issues to deal with off the field, but on the field there's still a concern for starting QB Dequan Finn. The Rockets last played in the MAC Championship and won 17-7 over Ohio. They racked up 11 penalties for 79 yards in the victory. Finn will not be at 100% health for this contest, but I still think he's the safe bet here against this Liberty team that's missing its head coach, and several key players on both sides of the ball; lay the points, the play is Toledo! AAA Sports |

12-20-22 | Texas A&M Corpus Christi +17 v. Oklahoma State | Top | 58-81 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
10* TEXAS A&M CC (UPSET SUPER SHOCKER) I think that 7-4 Oklahoma State will get caught "looking past" its lowly opponent here to its X-Mas break and then its big matchup vs. Kansas before the New Year. Corpus Christie is now 6-5 after its 104-69 win over Schreiner. The Cowboys have been trading ATS wins/losses over their last six games, and I expect this pattern to continue. Corpus Christie is averaging 64.5 PPG, while allowing 72.5. OKS is averaging 70.8 PPG, while allowing 61.8. But as I mentioned, I do indeed feel this sets up as a "trap" for the home side; no outright, but closer than expected so grab the points with Texas A&M! AAA Sports |

12-19-22 | Bucks v. Pelicans +1 | Top | 128-119 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 56 m | Show |
10* Pelicans (EAST-CONF GOW) After three straight up and ATS losses in a row, I love the Pelicans to bounce back here at home finally against the Bucks. The Pels most recently fell 118-114 at Phoneix. That was three straight ATS/SU road losses in a row (note though the New Orleans is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after three or more SU/ATS setbacks in a row.) The Pels are 12-3 at home. The Bucks are 7-5 on the road. Milwaukee is off the 123-97 home win over Utah, but I think they'll have their hands full here in the opener of this five-game road trip, which continues at Cleveland, Brooklyn, Boston and Chicago. For many reasons, I believe this game means so much more to New Orleans; grab the points, the play is the Pels! AAA Sports |

12-19-22 | South Dakota +1.5 v. UMKC | Top | 45-62 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
10* South Dakota (GOW) South Dakota has lost three straight, and I expect it to break that slide and find a way to deliver here on the road Monday. The Coyotes are coming off a tight 89-88 loss to Coastal Carolina. The good news was they made 50 percent of their shots from the floor, including 48.5 percent from range. Expect this deadly accuracy to be the difference-maker tonight. KC is five games under .500 following a six-point loss to Green Bay, shooting only 35.9 percent. The Coyotes are 8-1 ATS in their last nine vs. teams with losing SU records, while the Roos are just 1-4 ATS in their last five following an ATS loss; the play is South Dakota AAA Sports |

12-18-22 | Colorado State +11.5 v. St. Mary's | Top | 62-60 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
10* Colorado State (BEST OF BEST) Colorado State is 7-4, while Saint Mary's is 9-3. The Rams are coming off a 115-72 home win over lowly Peru State College, but I think they'll take that confidence and momentum on the road with them here and keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. Saint Mary's is coming off a win over New Mexico State. Colorado State has the offense to hang with the Gaels, but so far the Rams have struggled on the defensive end. That's the difference here, but I think that the Gaels will get caught looking past their lowly opponent today towards the X-Mas break, leaving the back door wide open for the hungry visiting side to comfortably sneak in through down the stretch; grab the points the play is CSU!

12-17-22 | Vanderbilt +6.5 v. NC State | Top | 66-70 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
10* Vanderbilt (UPSET SUPER SHOCKER) I think the 5-5 Vanderbilt Commodores will, at the very least, keep this one close enough to comfortably cover with the handful of points they've been afforded. NC State is 9-3, but I believe it'll have its hands full here in the Legends Of Basketball Showcase in Chicago this evening. Vanderbilt lost a tough game to Grambling 64-62 despite winning the rebounding battle 37 to 29. They're a great defensive team and I expect a rebound here. NC State's opening schedule was weak. It now enters having lost two of its last three. They're coming off a 92-73 win over Furman, but this is a huge step back up in competition. NC State's offensive numbers are a bit skewed in my opinion, as ultimately I feel these teams are much more evenly matched than what this spread is suggesting; grab the points, the play is Vanderbilt!

12-17-22 | Dolphins +7.5 v. Bills | Top | 29-32 | Win | 100 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
10* Dolphins (ASSASSIN) The first game between these division rivals was a tightly contested affair, and I expect today's contest to be the same. The Dolphins beat the Bills 21-19 as four-point dogs at home at the start of the season, but off B2B SU/ATS losses, I look for the Fish to bounce back here in this important game. The Bill are 4-0 SU their last four, but just 1-3 ATS. They continue to get overvalued by the bookmakers in my opinion, as they've not been able to create much late seperation from their opposition late in games. I expect this trend to continue here vs. this talented divisional opponent. It's the whole "snow" thing going on here today, but I'm not buying into it. The outright is a possiblity as well, but I'm grabbing the points with the Dolphins in the end! AAA Sports |

12-17-22 | Rice +6.5 v. Southern Miss | Top | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 6 m | Show |
10* Rice (BLOCKBUSTER) Rice lost its last three games of the year, but I expect it to dig deep and to, at the very least, keep this one close enough to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch. AJ Padjett has only started one game under center for the Owls this year, but he'll be complimented by leading runner Cameron Montgomery, and leading receiver Bradley Rozier. SMU started the season 5-3, but it closed out by going just 1-3. Southern Miss started three different QB's, and that was difficult. Trey Lowe had six TD's and seven INT's. Frank Gore Jr. had 1,053 rushing yards. Padgett is the correct call here, who will have an extra two weeks or reps before this bowl game; no outright, but a nailbiter, so grab the points!

12-16-22 | Weber State +5.5 v. Cal Poly | Top | 74-45 | Win | 100 | 15 h 24 m | Show |
10* Weber State (MAULING) Weber State is just 3-7, but I think it'll give 5-4 Cal Poly Slo everything it can handle tonight. Weber State broke a five-game slide with an 82-58 win over St. Martin's last time out. The Wildcats are averaging 65.8 PPG, while allowing 71.3. Dillon Jones leads the nightly charge with 65.8 points per game. Cal Poly is 5-4 after a 74-68 loss to Washington last time out. The Mustangs average 66.8 PPG, while allowing 64.1. Alimamy Koroma averages 12.8 points and 5.2 boards per game. Both teams have been challenged early in their sechedules. The Wildcats won't roll over here. I say this one comes down to the wire; grab the points, the play is Weber State! AAA Sports |

12-16-22 | Nets v. Raptors +1.5 | Top | 119-116 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
10* Raptors (ASSASSIN) I just think the more desperate team is going to dig deep here and find a way to deliver. Brooklyn is 17-12 afrer its 112-100 win over the Wizards. The Nets have played better since firing Steve Nash. They've had three nights off though and I think rest will lead to rust this evening. Toronto is now 13-15 after its disappointing 124-123 home loss to the Kings as five-point favorites on Wednesday. That's now three straight losses for the Raptors. Note though that they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. Finally, the Raptors also play with the added incentive of revenge here after a 114-105 loss to the Nets at the start of the month. So I think in a small way this sets up as a letdown spot for the Nets, while at the same time, this is a "gut check" for the Raptors. We've reached the point of the season where your record begins to reflect "who you are" as a team. Clearly, Toronto can not be happy where it's at at the moment. While the outright win is clearly a possibility, I'll ultimately recommend to grab as many points as you can; the play is the Raptors! AAA Sports |

12-15-22 | Suns +1.5 v. Clippers | Top | 111-95 | Win | 100 | 16 h 53 m | Show |
10* Suns (SHOCKER) Whether Devin Booker plays or not, I like the way this one sets up for the Suns. Phoenix is still 16-12 after its 111-97 loss at Houston. That's now five straight SU/ATS losses in a row for the Suns, who are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after five or more SU/ATS losses in a row. Phoenix beat LA 112-95 at the start of the year. And after three straight SU/ATS victories for Paul George and the Clippers, I'm expecting a predictable letdown here finally (note as well that LA is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight after three or more ATS victories in a row.) In a contest that I see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points; the play is the Suns! AAA Sports |

12-15-22 | Cal-Irvine v. Santa Clara -1.5 | Top | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 15 h 56 m | Show |
10* Santa Clara (BEST OF BEST) I think this one favors 9-3 Santa Clara. The Broncos lost this game last year by a score of 69-64, but I expect them to dig deep here and to snap a six-game losing slide in this series. UC Irving is 7-3 after a road win over South Dakota. The Anteaters are now averaging 80.1 PPG. The Broncos average 72.8, but their superior defensive play is the difference-maker for me in this contest. Lay the short-points, but expect a decisive win; the play is Santa Clara! AAA Sports |

12-15-22 | 49ers v. Seahawks +3.5 | Top | 21-13 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
10* Hawks (ASSASSIN) I love Seattle in this spot. Yes, the Hawks have stumbled the last couple of weeks, but I expect them to stop the bleeding here and to avenge an earlier loss to San Francisco. It's a "must win" game for the Hawks if they have any hopes of locking a division title. Brock Purdy was amazing in his first start last week for San Francisco, dismantling the Bucs, but now on his first true road game here in frigid Seattle, I'm expecting a big time letdown here. I say Geno Smith is the correct call here on the short week and on his own field. I truly believe the outright is possible, but in the end let's grab the points with Seattle! AAA Sports |

12-14-22 | Georgia State +21 v. Auburn | Top | 64-72 | Win | 100 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
10* Georgia State (UPSET SHOCKER) Auburn is now 8-1 after a poor loss to Memphis on Saturday, and I think it could still be mentally caught up on that setback. Ultimately I believe Georgia State will have an opportunity to comfortably sneak in through the back door. It's basically a TRAP game, because after this they have a game at the 7-3 Washington Huskies, so I also think the Tigers could be caught looking ahead to that much more high-profile contest. Bruce Pearl's team has been great, but they were held to just 38.1 percent shooting from the floor from Penny Hardaway's Memphis side, and that included just 25 percent from range. The Tigers were also outscored 50-24 in the paint. So far Auburn is averaging just 73 points per game, which is 173rd in the country. If the Tigers are going to repeat as SEC Champions, then they're going to have to try and find some more offense. Georgia State is just 5-4 and it's coming off a 66-46 loss to Northeastern on December 4th. The 20 point loss was the Panthers worst of the season (but note that Georgia State is 7-2 against the spread in its last nine after a straight up and againast the spread loss of 20 or more points.) Clearly Auburn is the better team, but I just think this is a bad spot for the Tigers and a great one for the Panthers. I'm obviously not calling for the outright upset, but I do think the stage is set for a tighter battle than what this spread is suggesting; grab the points, the play is Georgia State! AAA Sports |

12-14-22 | Hawks v. Magic +2.5 | Top | 124-135 | Win | 100 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
10* Magic (EXPRESS) Yes the 14-14 Hawks could REALLY use a win here after losing four of their last five, but the problem is is that they have no chemistry and are playing terribly. That's good news for the surging Magic. Orlando is just 8-20, so after three straight SU/ATS wins in a row, it can ill afford to take the foot off the gas. These teams are moving in different directions and the oddsmakers are slow in recognizing. Orlando plays with revenge as well after a loss to ATL in late November. While the outright is a possibility, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can with the Magic! AAA Sports |

12-13-22 | Celtics v. Lakers +3.5 | Top | 122-118 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 1 m | Show |
10* Lakers (ASSASSIN) Boston is 21-7, while the Lakers are 11-15. The Celtics have seemingly "run out of gas" though on this Western swing, having lost both games to the Warriors and to the Clippers just last night. I think they stumble again here as the favorite. The Lakers ended their road trip with a convincing 124-117 win at Detroit. They've been playing a lot better behind fantastic play from Anthony Davis. With a night's rest, I think LA has a legitimate shot at winning this game outright. That said, let's grab the points; the play is the Lakers! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-13-22 | UMass Lowell v. Rhode Island +2.5 | Top | 75-77 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show |
10* Rhode Island (MAULING) Umass Lowell River i scoming off a 68-59 win over St. Francis. It's averaging 82.2 PPG, but so far the Hawks haven't played anyone of any significance. Rhode Island is now 3-7 after a 77-67 win over Army as a 7-point favorite. The Rams average 64.9 PPG. Their strength of schedule definitely has been more difficult though. Let's not overreact to early numbers. This is a game which Rhode Island can win outright, but I think we're getting a gift here with the points; the play is the Rams! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-12-22 | Patriots -1.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
10* Patriots (ASSASSIN) I just think that Kyler Murray and the Cards have thrown in the towel on the season and I expect them to simply "go through the motions" today. Arizona lost 25-24 to the Chargers in its most recent matchup, and off that terrible letdown, I expect a half-hearted effort here today. The Patriots are well-coached and the better overall team in my opinion. I expect a clinical performance from Bellichick's team today. Look for New England to grind out the win and cover on the National stage! AAA Sports |

12-12-22 | Monmouth +22 v. Syracuse | Top | 71-86 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
10* Monmouth (SHOCKER) Outright win? Of course not. I just think that the 1-9 Monmouth Hawks will comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the large spread they've been afforded here. Syracuse is 6-4 after its big 83-64 home win over Georgetown. It has a home game against Cornell up next. I think the home side will go up early, and then take the foot off the gas in the second half. Monmouth averages 61.5 PPG, while Syracuse averages 73.3. Expect a much tighter game here than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe; grab the points, the play is Monmouth! AAA Sports |

12-11-22 | St Francis PA +16.5 v. Hawaii | Top | 66-90 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
10* St. Francis (MAULING) Outright victory? I'm not calling for that. But I do think that the backdoor will be left wide-open for the visiting side to comfortably sneak in through down the stretch with the large amount of points that it's been afforded here. St. Francis comes into this game with a 3-7 record. So far the Red Flash average 74.2 PPG, while allowing 74.3. Hawaii is 5-3. It averages 67.5 PPG, while allowing just 59.8. The Red Flash offense will test Hawaii here and it's the difference-maker in the end. Despite how well the Warriors are playing defensively, I'm expecting a much tighter game than what this spread is suggesting; grab the points, the play is St. Francis PA! AAA Sports |

12-11-22 | Dolphins v. Chargers +3.5 | Top | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
10* Chargers (AFC SIDE OF MONTH) It's a "must win" game for the Chargers, and I think they'll, at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. The Dolphins are off the 33-17 loss at San Francisco, snapping a five-game win streak. They're still 8-4. They have a tough game at Buffalo next week, so they'll have to be cautious here to not get caught "looking ahead" to that difficult divisional matchup. The Chargers are now 6-6 after last week's 27-20 loss at Las Vegas as 2.5-point underdogs. They're still well behind the 9-3 Chiefs, but note that they're 7-3 ATS in their last ten as a home underdog in the +3 to +4.5 points range. While the outright win is possible, I'm grabbing the points! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-11-22 | Suns +3 v. Pelicans | Top | 124-129 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
10* Suns (ASSASSIN) Off a 128-117 loss here just two nights ago, I like the visiting side to bounce back and to find a way to deliver here in this revenge scenario. Note that the Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last six in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. New Orleans is in unchartered territory right now with a big target on its back with the No. 1 record in the West at 17-8. With B2B games at Utah after this, followed by another game at the Suns after that, I believe the home side gets caught looking ahead; look for the revenge-minded Suns to, at the very least, take this one right down to the wire and grab the points! AAA Sports |

12-11-22 | Jaguars +3.5 v. Titans | 36-22 | Win | 100 | 5 h 52 m | Show | |
8* Jaguars (SPECIAL) As the title of this selection eludes too, this is probably the biggest contrarian play on the board today. The majority of the public money is on Tennessee here, but while most are "zigging," I'm going to be "zagging" on this one. The Titans have lost two straight. They have zero momentum. They only average 18.2 PPG. The Jaguars has won two of three before last week's 40-14 loss at Detroit. Note though that Trevor Lawrence and company average 21.5 PPG still. Tennessee continues to decline here in my opinion, and I think that Lawrence will be able to move the ball and keep his team "in this one" late; the outright is possible of course, but let's grab the points with the Jaguars! AAA Sports |

12-10-22 | Celtics v. Warriors +4.5 | Top | 107-123 | Win | 100 | 12 h 13 m | Show |
10* Warriors (ASSASSIN) Boston is 21-5. It'll have "revenge" on its mind here, but I don't think that'll be enough to beat the defending champs in their own building tonight. Boston is off the 125-98 win at Phoenix. It plays the Lakers and Clippers after this. Golden State is the more motivated side here off a 124-123 loss at Utah three nights ago. While only 13-13, the Warriors are still a near-perfect 11-2 at home this season. Golden State and Stephen Curry won't be going down without a fight here in this important non-conference matchup. In a game that I see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points; the play is the Warriors! AAA Sports |

12-10-22 | Louisville +10 v. Florida State | Top | 53-75 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 59 m | Show |
10* Louisville (ACC GOW) We have a couple of really poor teams colliding here in ACC action on Saturday afternoon. Louisville is 0-8 SU/ATS, while FSU is 1-9 SU and 3-7 ATS. Louisville is only averaging 57.4 PPG, while Florida State is averaging 65.5. These teams are both terrible defensively. Both have more questions than answers. I have no trust whatsoever that Louisville can pull off a road upset, but at the same time, I don't trust the Seminoles either to cover such a large spread. For this selection, expect it to be a tight competitive affair throughout, but grab the points; the play is Louisville! AAA Sports |

12-08-22 | Michigan v. Minnesota +4.5 | Top | 90-75 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
10* Minnesota (BIG TEN GOY) I love the way this one sets up for the Golden Gophers. This is Michigan's first true road game of the season and I think it'll struggle in this difficult road venue. The Wolverines return from their 73-69 loss to No. 19 Kentucky in London as well, so travel and the fatigue factor becomes an issue as well. UM has lost three of the last four in this series as well. This is a big game for Minnesota, playing here at Williams Arena for the first time since Nov. 17th. Last year Minnesota beat the Wolverines 75-65 in Ann Arbor for the first time since 2011. The average margin of victory between these teams over the last ten games is 3.2 points. This one will be decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last; so grab the points, the play is Minnesota! AAA Sports |

12-08-22 | Rockets v. Spurs +2.5 | Top | 109-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show |
10* Spurs (ASSASSIN) Two really bad teams collide on Thursday night, and only one can come out the winner. I think that'll be the Spurs tonight on their home floor. Houston is off a rare 132-123 OT home win over Philly, and I think it'll have a predictable letdown here. After this the Rockets return home for four straight, starting with the Bucks, so I also say they get caught "looking ahead" here. "Letdown" + "look ahead" = "trap game!" The Spurs have lost ten straight. But off B2B home losses in which they've failed to reach the 100-point plateu, I expect the home side to come out fired up tonigth. They're off the 133-95 home loss to the Suns, but note that they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine off a SU/ATS home loss in which they were held to 95 or less points in. Look for San Antonio to finally deliver here in front of the home town crowd! AAA Sports |

12-07-22 | Rangers +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
8* RANGERS PUCKLINE (DESTRUCTION) In a game that I envision being very tight, decided late, or even in extra time, I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance here today. New York is 7-4-0-1 on the road. It's coming off a 6-4 win at home over St. Louis. With a tough upcoming stretch of games, I expect the visiting side to come out fired up here tonight. Las Vegas is just 7-5 at home. It's coming off a 4-3 shootout win at Boston. After that big victory and after returning home following a 3-1 road trip, I expect a bit of a mental letdown here. These team's offensive and defensive numbers are similar; I feel the most comfortable laying the price for the 1.5 goals and the Rangers on the puckline option! AAA Sports |

12-07-22 | Connecticut v. Florida +4.5 | Top | 75-54 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 27 m | Show |
10* Florida (UNDERDOG OF MONTH) Florida is 6-3 and UConn is 9-0. This is going to be a competitive battle, one which I see being decided by whichever of these talented teams has its hands on the ball last. The Huskies are coming off a 74-64 win over Oklahoma State. So far UConn is averaging 82.9 PPG, while allowing 58.7. The Gators come in off an 89-51 win over Stetson. Florida average 81 PPG, while conceding just 69. Yes, UConn is 8-0-1 ATS in its last nine overall, but looking back finds is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine true road contests. The underdog is 4-0 ATS the last four in this series head-to-head and as I stated off the top, while the outright win isn't out of the question, I'm going to grab the points in a contest that has all the makings of a competitive "nail-biter;" the play is Florida! AAA Sports |

12-06-22 | Tex A&M Commerce v. Wyoming -12.5 | Top | 76-91 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
10* Wyoming (ULTIMATE BLOWOUT) For a number of different reasons, I expect Wyoming to lay a beating on Texas A&M Commerce. Wyoming is 3-5 and Texas A&M Commerce is 4-5. The Lions are coming off a 93-84 loss to Denver. They're averaging 70.1 PPG, while allowing 66.3. Their level of competition needs to be taken with a "grain of salt" though to thi s oint. Wyoming is coming off consecutive defeats to Santa Clara and Grand Canyon. The Cowboys are averaging 72.3 PPG, while conceding 69.9. Wyoming though has faced much stiffer competition. This is a great matchup for the Cowboys, and because of their difficult start, I don't expect them to take the foot off the gas at all tonight. With the home side keeping the pdeal to the metal until the final horn, all signs point to a lop-sided destruction; lay the points, the play is Wyoming! AAA Sports |

12-06-22 | Lakers +4.5 v. Cavs | Top | 102-116 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 53 m | Show |
10* Lakers (ASSASSIN) The Lakers have been playing great. At some point they're going to have a letdown, but they play with revenge here and I look for them to, at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. Cleveland won 114-100 in LA a couple of weeks ago. With two whole nights off before a game vs. Sacramento here, the home side gets caught looking ahead as well. The Cavs' two game win streak was snapped with a listless 92-81 loss at New York last time out. LA smoked the Wizards 130-119 last time out. They've won eight of their last ten. They've scored 128, 133 and 130 points over their last three games. The King always "gets up" for games against the Cavs, especially in Cleveland; grab the points, the play is the Lakers! AAA Sports |

12-06-22 | Red Wings v. Lightning -1.5 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
10* Lightning PUCKLINE (ANNIHILATION) Both teams have been playing well of late, but I think this is one that favors the home side. I look for Tampa to not only win this game, but to do so by a comfortable margin. Detroit comes in off the 4-2 win at Columbus. Previous to that it had lost three straight. The Wings are 12-7, but I think they get caught looking ahead here to their tough upcoming schedule at Florida and Dalls up nexts. This is the first game of the year between the clubs. The Lightning have had two days off after a 4-3 OT win over the Leafs in their last outing. Five more home games here for the Bolts, and I expect them to make the most of it; the Lightning are coming on strong the last two weeks, expect that to translate into another big win here this evening! AAA Sports |

12-05-22 | Pacers +10.5 v. Warriors | Top | 112-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
10* Pacers (NON-CONF GOW) Indiana is 12-11, and Golden State is 13-11. The Warriors aren't having any issues scoring, but they haven't been able to find any consistency on the defensive end this year. The Pacers have been better than most thought, and they've been able to take advantage of team's "looking past" them a few times already this season. And that's going to be the case here in my estimation as well with the Warriors, who hit the road for a game at Utah after this, followed by games vs. Boston and Milwaukee. Golden State is off the "rocking chair" 120-101 victory here at home over Houston, but I expect it to leave the back door wide open here for this Pacers team that's averaging 115.1 PPG, ranked in the Top 10. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points, the play is Indiana! AAA Sports |

12-05-22 | North Dakota State +16 v. Portland | Top | 67-62 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show |
10* North Dakota State (MAULING) The North Dakota State Bison come in "under the radar" here after starting 1-8 and on a four-game slide. That includes a 78-70 loss to Eastern Washington on the road in their most recent. But I think the 7-4 Pilots will come in complacent here and "look past" their lowly opponent today after a 90-69 home win over North Dakota in their most recent outing. If we looked only at these team's offensive and defensive numbers, then we'd come to the conclusion that the Pilots are the much better team. And they are. But this is a bad spot for them to cover this many points. I think the Bison keep this one close enough for sure to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch; the play is North Dakota State! AAA Sports |

12-05-22 | Saints +3.5 v. Bucs | Top | 16-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
10* Saints (ASSASSIN) This division is weak. Any team that goes on a run right now still has an opportunity to take it. That includes 4-8 New Orleans. But it lost the first game to the Bucs at home by a score of 20-10, so that actually makes this a "must win" game for New Orleans to keep its playoff hopes alive. Both teams are struggling in many regards, but the Saints actually are averaging more points than the Bucks (20.8 compared to 18.2.) Their defenses are similar. In a contest that I see being decided by whichever of these desperate teams has it hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points; the play is New Orleans! AAA Sports |

12-04-22 | Stanford +5 v. Arizona State | Top | 64-68 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
10* Stanford (PAC 12 GOY) Stanford is now 3-5 after an 80-66 home loss to UCLA in its most recent action. The Cardinal average 66.5 PPG. Arizona State is 7-1. It's coming off an upset 60-59 road win at Colorado as a 4.5-point underdog and I think a predictable letdown is in the cards here tonight for the home side. The Sun Devils are averaging a slightly better 72.2 PPG. ASU comes in a bit complacent here and also gets caught looking ahead to its neutral site game against Creighton next week. It's a "trap" for the Sun Devils. No such luxury for the Cardinal though. Stanford is struggling on offense, but makes up for it defensively in holding opponents to just 65.4 PPG. I think this is going to come down to the wire, as I said off the top, I think this is a great "spot" for the visitors; grab the points, the play is Stanford! AAA Sports |

12-04-22 | Bulls +3 v. Kings | Top | 101-110 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
10* Bulls (ASSASSIN) I think this is a great spot for the Bulls to bounce back in. Chicago is only 9-13, including 4-8 on the road. I think it sneaks in under the radar here though after B2B road losses, most recently a 119-111 loss at Golden State. The main reason I like the Bulls here though is that the Kings played, and won 123-96 at the Clippers just last night. Sacramento averages 120 PPG, which ranks second, but its defense is poor. The Kings are going to struggle with fatigue here in the second game of the back-to-back and while I clearly think the outright win is a possibility, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can with the Bulls! AAA Sports |

12-04-22 | Chiefs -1.5 v. Bengals | Top | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 31 m | Show |
10* Chiefs (NON-DIV GOM) It's a big matchup here, but one that I believe favors Patrick Mahomes and the visiting Chiefs. KC is now 9-2 after pulling way for a 26-10 win over the Rams last week. They average 29.6 PPG, which is ranked No. 1 in the league. The Bengals aren't too far behind in averaging 25.9. Cincinnati is now 7-4 after last week's 20-16 road win at Tennessee as a 1-point favorite. This is a revenge game for the Chiefs, who fell 27-24 in OT as 7-point favorites in last year's AFC Championship Game. They say that revenge is a dish "best served cold," and I couldn't agree more. KC has once again moved to the top of the food chain in the AFC and I look for the Chiefs to go up early, and to keep the foot on the gas until the final whistle; the play is KC! AAA Sports |

12-04-22 | Jaguars +1 v. Lions | 14-40 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
8* Jaguars (SPECIAL) The NFC North is a difficult division. Detroit is actually in second place at 4-7, but at 9-2, the Vikings have already essentially claimed the crown. The Lions would have to run the table and get outside help likely to earn a wildcard. It's going to be very difficult, if not impossible. The Jags are just 4-7 as well, and they're also tied for second in the AFC South with the Colts. At 7-4, the Titans hold the lead, but still anything can happen. So the Jaguars still do legitimately have a shot at running down the Titans. And last week was just what the doctor ordered for Trevor Lawrence's confidence. It was for sure his best game ever as a professional as he led his team for the come from behind 29-28 win over the Ravens. He's been getting better and better with each outing this year and I expect that progression to continue to pay dividends for Jaguars backers this weekend; grab the point/s, the play is Jacksonville!

12-03-22 | Fresno State +9 v. Cal-Irvine | Top | 80-66 | Win | 100 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
10* Fresno State (NON-CONF GOM) Outright win?! While anything is of course possible, my official call here will be to grab as many points as you can with the 1-5 Frenso State Bulldogs. The UC Irvine Anteaters are 6-2 and I think they come out complacent here and get caught "looking past" their lowly opponent this evening to two weeks off, before a conference matchup at 6-2 Santa Clara. Clearly, the Bulldogs don't have the luxury to look past anyone or to take the foot off the gas at any point in this game. I like betting on motivated teams. I think the Anteaters are primed for a classic letdown. I'm banking on this one being a lot more competitive than what this spread is suggesting; grab the points, the play is Fresno State!

12-03-22 | Golden Knights v. Red Wings +1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -195 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
8* WINGS PUCKLINE (DESTRUCTION) Detroit has had two nights off after a 5-4 shootout loss here to Buffalo. I think the Wings are worth the price of admission here to pay the larger price and get the 1.5 goals of insurance in our back pockets. Detroit is 7-3-1-2 at home and I'm expecting another battle here against Vegas. The Knights are 17-7-1 after a 3-2 loss at Pittsburgh on Thursday. With a game at league-leading Boston up next, will Vegas get caught "looking ahead?" Detroit hits the road for a four-game road trip starting tomorrow in Columbus, so I expect it to lay everything on the line to try and secure the victory here at home; lay the price and grab the Wings on the puckline option!

12-03-22 | LSU v. Georgia -17 | Top | 30-50 | Win | 100 | 72 h 39 m | Show |
10* Georgia (SEC GOM) I like No. 1 Georgia to lay the hammer down on No. 11 LSU today and to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish with no mercy. Georgia is of course the defending champ and it's trying to win back-to-back SEC Championships for the first time since all the way back in 1980. Experience does count in these games, and this is the Bulldogs fifth trip to this game in the last six years. First-year head coach Brian Kelly led LSU to an unexpected SEC West division championship and I believe he and his team are in over their heads here this weekend. Georgia may only be 6-6 ATS this year, but it's 3-0 ATS when favored by 20 or less points this season. Georgia has a great run game and LSU struggles against good run teams; lay the points, the play is the Bulldogs! AAA Sports |

12-03-22 | Oral Roberts v. Tulsa +4 | 77-66 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
8* Tulsa (SPECIAL) Oral Roberts is 5-3 and Tulsa is 2-4. I think that home floor can't be overlooked as a very real deciding factor in this one. Oral Roberts is coming off a loss to Utah State. It averages 84.1 PPG, but its competition to this point needs to be taken into account. Tulsa is off a loss to Oklahoma State. Overall the Golden Hurricane are averaging 70.2 PPG. Their schedule to this point has been more difficult. This is a battle for the PSO Mayor's Cup, and I think Tulsa will correct some of its issues and, at the very least, take it right down to the wire; grab the points! AAA Sports |

12-02-22 | Pelicans v. Spurs +7.5 | Top | 117-99 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 4 m | Show |
10* Spurs (ASSASSIN) The Pels have been great this year, they enter at 13-8. They're just 5-5 on the road though. The Spurs are 6-16 and just 3-8 at home, but after seven straight ATS losses and nine straight SU losses, and also playing with revenge here after a 129-110 loss at New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, I love the home side to, at the very least, keep this one competitive enough to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch (note that the Spurs are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to avenge a 15 points or greater SU/ATS loss vs. an opponent. New Orleans is off two straight home wins. It has a night off after this before a four-game home stand, starting with red hot Denver. I say the Pels get caught "looking ahead." The outright is a possibility, but the official call will indeed to grab as many points as you can with the Spurs! AAA Sports |

12-02-22 | North Texas +9 v. UTSA | Top | 27-48 | Loss | -113 | 52 h 3 m | Show |
10* UNT (CONF-USA GOM) UNT is 7-5. It averages 34.5 PPG, which ranks 25th in the country. It beat Rice 21-17 in its finale. It faced UTSA in Week 8 and lost 31-27 on the road as a ten-point underdog. Suffice it to say, I'm expecting another really tight and close battle here today as well. UTSA is 10-2. It averages 37.9 PPG. It held on for the 34-31 win over UTEP at home as a 16.5-point favorite in its final game. UNT's aggressive defense and strong run will once again keep it competitive late. I'm stopping short in calling for the outright upset, but all signs point to this one being MUCH closer than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe; the play is UNT! AAA Sports |

12-02-22 | Boston University v. Merrimack +3.5 | Top | 68-54 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
10* Merrimack (MID-MAJOR MAULING) These teams are evenly matched. They always play to tight, competitive affairs, as the last two head-to-head matchups have been decided by a grand total of just three points. We can expect a similar battle until the end tonight, and that's why I'm definitely grabbing the points in this matchup. BU has now dropped three in a row, so it comes in with zero momentum. Merrimack may only average 56.4 PPG, but it's only allowing 56.3. I think Boston is completely over-priced here, so I'm grabbing the points; the play is Merrimack! AAA Sports |

12-01-22 | Illinois State +12.5 v. Murray State | Top | 67-70 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show |
10* Illinois State (MID-MAJOR MAULING) Outright victory? I'm not calling for that. But I definitely think that this spread is a few points too large. Illinois State is 2-5. It's on a four-game SU losing streak after a 57-44 home loss to Rhode Island. The Racers are the better team, but they're just 3-3 after Saturday's 69-66 road loss to Chatanooga. So far the Redbirds are averaging 61.3 PPG, while allowing 67. Murray State is averaging 76.3 PPG, while allowing 70.5. I think Illinois State's defense will keep this one competitive enough to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch; grab the points, the play is the Redbirds! AAA Sports |

11-30-22 | Purdue v. Florida State +15 | Top | 79-69 | Win | 100 | 12 h 1 m | Show |
10* FSU (BLOOD-BATH) This of course is part of the BIG 10/ACC Challenge. Outside of the Final Four Tournament, many college basketball fans enjoy this stretch of the season more than any other. Regardless, for this one we have two teams on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. Purdue is 6-0 straight up and 4-2 against the spread, while Florida State is 1-7 straight-up and 1-7 against the spread. The Boilermakers already have wins over Duke, Gonzaga and West Virginia. They've held three teams to under 60 points so far this season. Zach Edey is the main man, averaging 21.7 points and 12 rebounds per game. Florida State has had a miserable start to its season. Its only win was against Mercer. The Seminoles have actually failed to score 60 points in four of their seven games. One bright spot has been the play of Caleb Mills who averages 12.6 points and 3.2 assists per game. This isn't about picking a straight up winner. This is about which team can cover with the spread, and for me, I just think that the public hammering the Boilermakers left right and center. just whenever they're playing now, while at the same time they see how much Florida State has struggled, and both of those factors have combined to make this spread a few points larger than it really should be; I'm going to grab the points with FSU!

11-29-22 | Alcorn State v. Grand Canyon -12.5 | Top | 72-80 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
10* Grand Canyon (MID-MAJOR MAULING) Alcorn State is 3-4 SU, and Grand Canyon is 5-2. The Alcorn State Braves average 62.4 PPG, while allowing 70.1. I expect them to have their hands full today. Dominic Brewton leads the nightly charge for the Braves with 13.1 points and 5.6 boards per game. The Antelopes are averaging 72.9 PPG, while conceding just 55.1. They have a deep and experienced team led by Jovan Blacksher Jr, who averages 11.3 points and 2.5 boards per game. These teams have a similar opponent this year. Alcorn State upset Wichita State, but Grand Canyon lost to it. But let's not overreact to early season results. This is a mismatch and I like the Antelopes to deliver at home; lay the points!

11-29-22 | Knicks -4.5 v. Pistons | Top | 140-110 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
10* Knicks (ASSASSIN) The Knicks are 9-11, while the Pistons are 5-17. Off two straight home losses, and having dropped four of its last five, I like New York to finally bounce back here in this favorable spot. These teams played in New York on November 11th and the Knicks won by a score of 121-112. I expect a similar final outcome here. Detroit has covered in five straight ATS, and I expect that string to end here as well. Look for the Knicks to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish and lay the points with confidence!

11-28-22 | Golden Knights v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
10* Jackets PUCKLINE (NON-CONF GOW) I think this is a great spot to pull the trigger on Columbus on the puckline option here. Las Vegas is 9-1-1 on the road and 16-6 overall. It's been great, but it comes in with zero momentum, having lost two straight. Columbus is 7-12-1 overlal. It's coming off a tight 3-2 home loss here to the Islanders. The Jackets have been competitive even in defeat lately and I believe the underachieving home side will, at the very least, take Las Vegas right down to the wire here. In a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I'm going to grab Columbus on the puckline option! AAA Sports |

11-27-22 | Dartmouth +4 v. Texas-San Antonio | Top | 78-77 | Win | 100 | 13 h 46 m | Show |
10* Dartmouth (ATS BLOOD-BATH) The Dartmouth Big Green are 1-4 and the UTSA Roadrunners are 4-2. Dartmouth is off a tight 69-64 loss to Incarnate Word. Dusan Neskovic leads the nightly charge with 13.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game for the Big Green. Dartmouth has no issues scoring, entering averaging 77.4 PPG. UTSA averages 65.5. The Roadrunners are coming off a humbling 75-55 loss to Grambling State. Japhet Medor leads the team with 12.7 points and four assists per game. Dartmouth though is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six after an ATS loss, while UTSA is just 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. teams with a win percentage below .400. Dartmouth's defense catches a break this week. I say the outright is possible, but grab the points! AAA Sports |

11-27-22 | Jets v. Blackhawks +1.5 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -170 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
10* Blackhawks PUCKLINE (Central Division GOM) Betting the regular season in the NBA and NHL is about betting "siutations." Clearly Winnipeg is the better team, but I think this is a great spot for the hungry Hawks to make a very competitive game of this one here, making the "puckline" option the savvy call in the end in my opinion. Winnipeg is off an emotional 5-4 OT win at Dallas on Friday night, and after this game vs. the lowly Hawks, it returns home to face the defending Stanley Cup Champion Avalanche. Chicago has lost six straight, but it hasn't been for a lack of trying. It lost 6-4 at Dallas most recently, before then falling 3-2 in a shootout at home to the Canadiens. This is a revenge game as well for the Hawks, who fell 4-0 to Winnipeg at the start of the month. As stated off the top, a great situational play with a ton of overall value; the play is Chicago on the puckline! AAA Sports |

11-27-22 | Wizards +7.5 v. Celtics | Top | 121-130 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
10* Wizards (NON-DIV GOM) I think this is a great spot for the Wizards. Washington plays with revenge after losing to Boston 112-94 on October 30th. With a game at home against the Wolves tomorrow, the Wizards can't look past the mighty Celtics tonight. Boston is off a 122-104 win over Sacramento, but it could come in complacent here with a game at home tomorrow against Charlotte. The Wizards have lost five straight against-the-spread, but note that Washington is 7-3 ATS in its last ten after five or more ATS losses in a row. No outright, but much closer than expected; grab the points, the play is the Wizards! AAA Sports |

11-27-22 | Chargers v. Cardinals +3 | Top | 25-24 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
10* Cardinals (ASSASSIN) Both teams NEED a win here. This is a crucial week for both the Chargers and the Cardinals, but I can't overstate how important I believe that the home field factor will be for Arizona this week. That hasn't been the case so far to this point, as the Chargers are 5-0 ATS on the road, and the Cards are just 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS at home. Look for these lop-sided numbers to normalize over the second half of the season though. LA enters having lost three of its last four and despite probably having the better QB in Justin Herbert on the field, I just don't trust this LA team on the road. Cards' coach Kliff Kingsbury is on the hot seat, likely needing a win here to keep his job. Kyler Murray has missed the last two weeks, but he returns now this weekend. I think the pivot will be a difference-maker this weekend. The majority of the money is on LA here, but I look for this underachieving Cardinals team to dip deep and deliver at home; grab the points!

11-26-22 | Tennessee v. Vanderbilt +14 | Top | 56-0 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
10* Vanderbilt (SEC GOW) Tennessee can ill afford to take the foot off the gas at 9-2 on the final game of the year, but I do expect the Vols to do just that in the second half. Will 5-6 Vanderbilt pull off the epic upset and win this game outright? Highly unlikely, but I do absolutely believe that the stage is set for a much tighter battle than what this spread is suggesting. The Vols come in off a crippling 63-38 loss at South Carolina. The Commodores actually pulled off a similar upset last week, beating Florida 31-24 at home as a 13.5-point underdog. Now here on Senior Night and the final game of the season, I'm expecting Vanderbilt to put up another fight until the end here as well; grab the points, the play is the Commodores! AAA Sports |

10* TCU (TOURNEY GOW) This is part of the Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, Florida. Iowa is 5-0 thi syear after beating Clemson 74-71 last time out. So far the Hawkeyes are averaging 96 PPG, while conceding 65. Kris Murray leads the nightly charge with 23.8 points and eight rebounds per game. TCU is 4-1 after beating Cal 59-48 last time out. The Horned Frogs went on to force 19 turnovers in the victory. So far they're averaging 77 PPG, while allowing 65.5. Mike Miles Jr. leads TCU with 20.5 PPG on average. Iowa let a big lead slip away late against Clemson, and almost stumbled last time out. Look for the Horned Frogs aggressive defensive play to be the difference maker here; that said, grab the points!

11-25-22 | North Dakota State v. Northern Colorado +2.5 | Top | 70-80 | Win | 100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
10* Northern Colorado (MAULING) We have a couple of 1-4 teams going head-to-head here, but I believe this is a contest that favors the visiting side. North Dakota State is coming off its first win of the year, albeit over Crown College. UNC lost to CO Christian in its last outing. Northern Colorado matches up well with North Dakota State. Also, the Bears have hit 69 or or more points in three of their last four games. UNC is the more motivated side and I expect it to pull away for a comfortable win/cover; that said, grab the points!

11-25-22 | Idaho +13.5 v. Pacific | 84-81 | Win | 100 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
8* Idaho (SPECIAL) Idaho ia only 1-5 SU, including 0-3 ATS on the road. It's also just 1-4 ATS. The Vandals have many issues, but I still think that 2-3 Pacific is overvalued here. The Tigers are 0-2 SU/ATS at home, so the home floor advantage is not a factor whatsoever in this particular matchup. Idaho is off a high-scoring 82-71 loss to Cal Poly Slo. The Vandals can score, averaging 73.7 PPG. Pacific averages 83.6. These defenses are both pretty terrible, so let's call that area a "wash." Look for the hungrier Vandals to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch AAA Sports |

11-25-22 | Bulls v. Thunder +2 | Top | 119-123 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
10* Oklahoma City. Chicago is coming off a 118-113 win over the Bucks on Wednesday. I had the Bulls in that one. However, I expect the visiting side to come out flat here vs. this determined OKC team, that's off a 131-126 OT loss to the Nuggets on Wednesday. Chicago's room for error is very slim most nights, averaging 111.5 PPG, and conceding 111.4 (note that the Bulls will be without Lonzo Ball while Goran Dragic and Kostas Antetokounmpo are listed as day-to-day.) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped a double-double with 31 points and 11 assists in a losing cause for the Thunder last time out. OKC averages 115.9 PPG, while allowing 118.3. Chicago has tough upcoming games at the Suns and the Warriors to look ahead to here. Neither team has shown a lot of consistency from game-to-game, but I love the way this one sets up for the home side; the play is the Thunder! AAA Sports |

11-25-22 | Islanders v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
10* Blue Jackets PUCKLINE (DESTRUCTION) The Islanders are off a 3-0 home win over Edmonton on Wednesday, but they're just 6-5 on the road this year. With a home game against Philly tomorrow night, I say New York gets caught "looking ahead." Columbus has been trading good efforts with poor ones of late. The Blue Jackets are off a 3-1 home loss to Montrral, two nights after beating Florida by a score of 5-3 on the road. The Jackets play with revenge here as well after falling 4-3 at New York earlier in the season; a great price for the extra 1.5 goals, the play is the Jackets on the puckline option! AAA Sports |

11-25-22 | Arkansas v. Missouri +4 | Top | 27-29 | Win | 100 | 26 h 3 m | Show |
10* MISSOURI (SEC GOM) At this time of year, we have to be cerebral with our wagers. This is a great "situational" wager, and that, along with a couple of strong trends that support my position, is what I'm basing this selection on. Arkansas just became bowl eligible in last week's 42-27 win over Ole Miss as a one-point underdog. After that emotional win on "Seniors Night," I'm expecting a predictable letdown here. The Razorbacks average 31 PPG, while the 5-6 Missouri Tigers average 25.2 Missouri kept its bowl hopes alive in last week's 45-14 destruction of New Mexico State. The Tigers have an opportunity to become bowl eligibleon Senior Night themselves, while at the same time avenging a 34-17 loss to Arkansas last season; the outright is clearly possible, but grab as many points as you can!

11-24-22 | Fresno State +4.5 v. Vanderbilt | Top | 59-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 14 m | Show |
10* Fresno State (ATS BLOOD-BATH) Fresno State is 1-4 SU and 0-4-1 ATS. Vanderbilt is 2-3 SU/ATS. The Bulldogs are averaging 58.4 PPG, while allowing 61.4 Isaih Moore is averaging 12.8 points and 6.8 boards for Fresno State. The Commodores are averaging 70 PPG, while allowing 66.5. Jordan Wright leads the nightly charge for Vanderbilt by averaging 11.3 points and 3.8 assists per game. This is the consolation game in the Wooden Legacy tournament and I think the Bulldogs are primed for a breakout performance here. On the flip-side, I think this has been a big disappointment for Jerry Stackhouse and the Commodores. Both teams are coming off tight losses. I'll caution reading too much into their respective offensive and defensive numbers so early. I think the Bulldogs superior defense though will "win the day" here; that said, grab as many points as you can! AAA Sports |

11-24-22 | Mississippi State +2.5 v. Ole Miss | Top | 24-22 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
10* Mississippi State (ASSASSIN) The big news surrounding this game is that Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has been rumoured about taking the job at Auburn as early as this Friday. He's denied those rumors, but this is just a big circus now for Mississippi, a distraction that I think Mississippi State can take advantage of. Ole Miss is 8-3, but it's not playing its best football of the season right now either having lost three of its last four. That includes a 42-27 loss at Arkansas as a 1-point favorite last week. I think Mike Leach and the Bulldogs can take advantage. Mississippi State is 7-4. It's off a 56-7 win over East Tennessee State as a 39-point favorite. It averages 33.5 points per game. Will Rogers is having another solid year, and that doesn't bode well for a Rebels secondary that allows a lot underneath stuff and which is actually ranked 111th in the country in opponent completion percentage and 95th in opponent QB passer rating. The Bulldogs on the other hand have steadily improved defensively throughout the season, as they now rank 14th in the country in takeaways. I think the outright win is possible, but in the end let's grab the points; the play is MISSISSIPPI STATE! AAA Sports |

11-24-22 | Giants v. Cowboys -9 | 20-28 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 34 m | Show | |
9* Cowboys (BLOWOUT) The Giants looked great to open the season, but New York is already starting to regress. This is an important divisional matchup for both teams, but I think it definitely favors the defense of the Cowboys. Giants' QB Daniel Jones is terrible againts good pass rushing teams. That's going to make Saquon Barkley and the visiting side really one-dimensional. Dallas averages 25.1 PPG, while New York averages 20.5. The difference though as I mentioned comes on the defensive end. I expect Jones to be running for his life throughout this one; lay the points, the play is Dallas! AAA Sports |

11-24-22 | Bills -9.5 v. Lions | 28-25 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 4 m | Show | |
8* Buffalo (ROUT) Detroit's rattled off three straight wins, but I expect "the wheels to fall off the bus" this weekend. The Bills are 7-3 and second in the AFC East after defeating the Browns 31-23 at home last week. Buffalo has the second ranked offense averaging 28.1 PPG. Detroit averages 25 PPG. Defensively though the Bills are light years ahead of their counterpart, allowing 17.4 PPG, compared the Lions' 28.2. Look for the short week to benefit the better offensive team; lay the points, the play is Buffalo! AAA SportsĀ |

11-23-22 | Bulls +7.5 v. Bucks | Top | 118-113 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
10* Bulls (ASSASSIN) I think this is a great situational wager on the Bulls here. They'd lost four straight, but then they dug deep and posted a quality 121-107 home win over Boston as a 5.5-point favorite in their most recent outing. That was crucial, because it set the tone for this now six-game road trip starting here in Milwaukee to face the Bucks for the first time this season. But this is another important game, to set the tone in the first outing on this trip. Milwaukee is great, it's 12-4 and off a 119-111 home win over Portland. I'm not calling for an outright upset, but I think this one means so much more to the Bulls. They're off the solid win and need to set the tone for the rest of this roadtrip right here and now agains the No. 1 team in the East; grab the points, the play is Chicago! AAA Sports |

11-23-22 | Louisville +7 v. Cincinnati | 62-81 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
8* Louisville (SPECIAL) Louisville is 0-5 SU/ATS, but I believe it can, at the very least, keep tonight's contest close enough to cover with what I feel to be a generous spread. Cincinnati is 3-3 SU and 2-3-1 ATS. The winner will take seventh spot in the Maui Jim Invitational. The Cardinals are coming off a 70-38 loss to Texas Tech. Jae'lyn Withers led the way in a losing cause with seven points and five boards. Cincinnati is coming off an 81-53 blwout loss to Ohio State as a 3-point underdog. The early numbers for both teams have been terrible. I think these teams are definitely evenly matched. In a contest that I see being decided late though, I'm grabbing the points! AAA Sports |

11-22-22 | Lakers +7.5 v. Suns | Top | 105-115 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
10* Lakers (PACIFIC GAME OF MONTH) The Lakers have been playing a lot better of late, winners of three straight. This is the first game of the year they've played against the Suns. I think LA is still being undervalued here. The Lakers have two straight in San Antonio after this, but I expect the visiting side to take this game very seriously. A quality victory here, with a chance to sweep in San Antonio would then see the Lakers as one of the hottest teams in the league. But one game at a time. The Suns are 10-6. They're coming off a 116-95 win over the Knicks. If we just look at these team's seasonal averages to this point, then the obvious choice here would be to grab the Suns. But the season is a dynamic/fluid one, and things change. The Lakers are a better team now than at the start of the year and I expect them to come out swinging with their best shot tonight; grab the points the play is LA! AAA Sports |

11-22-22 | Bowling Green +6.5 v. Ohio | Top | 14-38 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
10* Bowling Green (MAC GOW) Ohio has its sights set on the Conference title game, and I think could stumble here with the finish line in sight. Bowling Green became eligible last week at 6-5 after beating Toledo 42-35 as a 15-point underdog. The Green Falcons did it on the road as well. Ohio is off the 32-18 win at Ball State. Ohio is the better team, but Bowling Green comes in with a lot of momentum. I think this is a factor that the oddsmakers often have a hard time properly quantifying into a line, and that's the case here in this one tonight. While the outright is possible, I'm going to suggest to grab as many points as you can; the play is Bowling Green! AAA Sports |

8* Tennessee Martin (SPECIAL) The Tennessee Martin Skyhawks are 3-3, and the Arkansas State Red Wolves are 2-2. In a contest that I see being decided by whichever of these evenly matched sides has its hands on the ball last, I'm going to recommend to grab as many points as you can. TN-Martin is coming off a win over Prairie View, while Arkansas State is off a loss to UC Davis. The Skyhawks had 43 second-half points in their last win, I think they can keep that offensive momentum rolling here against a Red Wolves side that just lost 75-60 to UC Davis. The Skyhawks have a legitimate shot at winning this one outright, but as stated off the top, grab the points! AAA Sports |

8* Australia +1.5 goals (TOP PLAY) The way this Tournament has started, I wouldn't be completely shocked if the Australians pulled out the outright upset here. That said, I think in a game that could be a lot tighter than most are expecting, the best value here is to grab the underdog on the +1.5 ATS line for the game. France is looking to defend its World title, but it comes into the Tournament injured. The Socceroos are looking to end three straight opening round losses. France has looked absolutely terrible over the last year. That's been in part to off-field distractionss and injuries. These teams met in the group stage four years ago, and France won 4-1. Australia is a better team since then, while the French are worse; the play is the Socceroos ATS! AAA Sports |

11-21-22 | Celtics v. Bulls +6.5 | Top | 107-121 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
10* BULLS (GOW) Here's a perfect spot for Chicago to avenge an earlier loss to the Celtics. Chicago is off a 108-107 home loss to Orlando as an 8.5-point favorite. The Bulls will be risking life and limb to try and snap a four-game slide tonight, especially with a very tough six-game road trip that starts on Wednesday in Milwaukee. Boston is 13-3. It's off a 117-109 road win at New Orleans. But with a night off after this, followed by a very favorable six-game home-stand, this sets up as a classic "trap" game for the visiting side in my opinion; the outright is possible, but in the end let's grab the points with the Bulls!

11-21-22 | Rhode Island +10 v. Kansas State | Top | 57-77 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
10* Rhode Island (NON-CONF GOW) These teams are closing out the first round of the Cayman Islands Classic on Monday night. Rhode Island is 1-2, and it's coming off its first win of the season in 74-64 victory over Stonehill. K-State is 3-0, most recently handling Kansas City by a score of 69-53. Rhode Island has some talent in players like Abdou Samb, averaging over ten points per game in the early going. The Cougars are only allowing 55.3 PPG, which is the lowest in the country so far, but that's been in part due to the level of competition it's faced. Markquis Nowell averages 3.3 steals per game for the Wildcats. Rhode Island isn't going to win this game, but I expect the Rams to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch!

11-20-22 | Spurs v. Lakers -7 | Top | 92-123 | Win | 100 | 14 h 53 m | Show |
10* Lakers (ATS BLOOD-BATH) I think this is a good spot for LA. The Lakers are just 4-10, which includes going 4-5 at home. They're off back-to-back home victories, taking down the Nets 116-103 and the Pistons 128-121. San Antonio is just 6-11 and it's coming off a 119-97 loss here just last night to the Clipper. Fatigue's an issue for the Spurs at this point of the season. They'll get caught looking ahead here to two nights off before a home game against the Pelicans. The Lakers can take advantage and I believe they will; lay the points, the play is LA! AAA Sports |
