11-12-21 | Abilene Christian v. Texas A&M UNDER 131 | 80-81 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
ALBILENE CHRISTIAN @ TEXAS A&M TOTAL Abilene Christian took a 70-56 loss at Utah in its season opener while Texas A&M held North Florida to 34% shooting from the field in a 64-46 Aggies win on Wednesday. I think the Wildcats will struggle big time to get points in this one, and I think the bookmakers have set the total too high. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Illinois State v. Eastern Michigan UNDER 138 | 98-103 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
ILLINOIS STATE @ EASTERN MICHIGAN TOTAL Eastern Michigan lost but covered the spread as a 24-point dog at Indiana in their season opener. The game closed with a total of 144.5, but the two teams ended up combining for only 128 points in a 68-62 Hoosiers win. Illinois State opened the season with a 68-63 win against UNC Wilmington, with the total closing at 147.5 points. I expect this to be another low-scoring affair. 8* play on UNDER. |

11-12-21 | Northern Colorado -120 v. Hawaii | 81-78 | Win | 100 | 16 h 23 m | Show | |
SUPER LATE 12 AM ET - NORTHERN COLORADO @ HAWAII MIDNIGHT MADNESS Northern Colorado defeated Pacific on Wednesday, and I like them to take down Hawaii as well here the following night. The Rainbow Warriors are coming off a blowout win against Hawaii-Hilo, but this will be a much tougher test. While the game takes place at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, the home court advantage for Hawaii is reduced as this is where the Bears played the Tigers yesterday as part of the Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic. Northern Colorado is returning 83.5% of its minutes from last season while Hawaii is returning only 45% and losing three key players. 8* play on Northern Colorado. |

11-12-21 | Northern Colorado v. Hawaii OVER 136 | 81-78 | Win | 100 | 16 h 45 m | Show | |
NORTHERN COLORADO @ HAWAII TOTAL Northern Colorado defeated Pacific on Wednesday, and I like them to take down Hawaii as well here the following night. The Rainbow Warriors are coming off a blowout win against Hawaii-Hilo, but this will be a much tougher test. While the game takes place at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, the home court advantage for Hawaii is reduced as this is where the Bears played the Tigers yesterday as part of the Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic. Northern Colorado is returning 83.5% of its minutes from last season while Hawaii is returning only 45% and losing three key players. In addition to Northern Colorado winning and covering the spread, I also like the over as we might see some sloppy defense with both teams playing on no rest. 8* play on OVER |
|||||||
11-11-21 | IUPU-Indianapolis v. Evansville UNDER 135 | 40-60 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
IUPUI @ EVANSVILLE CBB TOTAL Neither IUPUI nor Evansville broke 50 points in their season opener, and I think it'll take a couple of games more for them to find their shooting. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Air Force v. South Dakota UNDER 135.5 | 53-59 | Win | 100 | 5 h 0 m | Show | |
AIR FORCE @ SOUTH DAKOTA TOTAL Air Force is returning only 51.9% of its starting minutes from last season while South Dakota is returning 81.6% of its minutes. Air Force in particular is likely to need some time to find its rhythm when on the ball but I also think the Falcons can lock down on the defensive end. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Belmont -3 v. Ohio | 80-92 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
COLLEGE BASKETBALL OPENING NIGHT HARDWOOD HAMMER Belmont is returning pretty much all of their key players from last season when they went 26-4. Ohio picked up 17 wins in 25 games last season, but the Bobcats have lost their top overall player in Jason Preston. I don't see Ohio State keeping up with a Belmont team that averaged 81.3 points per game last year, the 13th best scoring average in the nation. 8* play on Belmont. |
|||||||
04-05-21 | Baylor v. Gonzaga -4 | Top | 86-70 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 19 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME *BEST BET* The Gonzaga Bulldogs had trouble with UCLA in their Final Four matchup while Baylor made light work of Houston last time out. As a result, the Zags are asked to cover only 4.5 points here in the NCAA Championship Game. I think the oddsmakers are overreacting to the team's most recent game. Gonzaga had destroyed everything in its path leading up to the Final Four, and perhaps they underestimated the Bruins. That won't be the case here, and I expect to see a fully focused Zags team run away with the championship. 10* play on Gonzaga. |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Houston v. Baylor -5 | Top | 59-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HOUSTON VS BAYLOR NCAA TOURNEY FINAL FOUR *BEST BET* The Houston Cougars have had an extremely easy path on their way to the Final Four, only facing double-digit seeds, but nevertheless almost blew a late lead against 12-seed Oregon State in the last round. The Baylor Bear has been more battle-tested and dominated a tough Arkansas team last time out. This is a big step up in competition for the Cougars, and I'm not sure they'll ready for what Baylor will bring into this game. 10* play on Baylor Bears. |
|||||||
03-30-21 | UCLA +7 v. Michigan | 51-49 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
UCLA VS MICHIGAN ELITE EIGHT BOOKIE BU$TER The 11th-seeded UCLA Bruins look like a live dog in this Elite Eight matchup with the Michigan Wolverines. The Bruins are coming off an upset win as a 7-point against second-seeded Alabama, and Michigan must be overvalued by the oddsmakers, heading into this contest 19-8 ATS on the season, which is the best record among teams left in the tournament. 8* play on UCLA Bruins. |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Oregon v. USC -2 | 68-82 | Win | 100 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
OREGON VS USC 8* NCAA TOURNAMENT BOOKIE BU$TER The USC Trojans have looked great through their first two games of the NCAA Tournament, comfortably defeating Drake and Kansas. They defeated Oregon 72-58 when the two teams clashed back in February and I like the Trojans to get the better of the Ducks once again here in the Sweet 16. USC holds a big advantage on the glass, and its defense has been lights out lately. The favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. 8* play on USC Trojans. |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Florida State +2.5 v. Michigan | Top | 58-76 | Loss | -107 | 81 h 29 m | Show |
FSU VS MICHIGAN 10* TOP PLAY | SWEET 16 *BEST BET* The Florida State Seminoles have opened the NCAA Tournament with a pair of dominant victories. Defeating Colorado by 18 points last time out was particularly impressive, and I would not be surprised to see them beating Michigan outright here in the Sweet 16. I'm not sure if the Wolverines can compete with a team like FSU without one of their most dangerous scoring threats in senior forward Isaiah Liver (stress reaction), Seminoles are 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games as an underdog. Seminoles are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. 10* play on FSU Seminoles. |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Creighton +13.5 v. Gonzaga | 65-83 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
CREIGHTON VS GONZAGA 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER Gonzaga is crushing everything in its path, but I don't think Creighton is getting enough respect in this Sweet 16 matchup with the Bulldogs. The Bluejays are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. They're very capable of shooting the ball, and if the shots are made they could give the Zags a real scare here. 8* play on Creighton. |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Syracuse +6.5 v. Houston | Top | 46-62 | Loss | -105 | 44 h 36 m | Show |
CUSE VS HOUSTON | SWEET 16 BOOKIE BU$TER The No. 2 Houston Cougars are 19-9 ATS on the season, but they failed to cover the 7.5-point spread in a 63-60 win against Rutgers in the previous round of the NCAA Tournament and actually trailed the Scarlet Knights by nine with less than five minutes left on the clock. DeJon Jarreau played 32 minutes but a hip injury is clearly bothering him. Here the Cougars will face a No. 11 Syracuse team that has opened the tourney with back-to-back wins as underdogs, beating San Diego State and West Virginia. Cuse's 2-3 zone defense can be tough to solve, and I like the Orange to keep this one close. Orange are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. Orange are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games as an underdog. 8* play on Syracuse Orange. |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Oregon State +7 v. Loyola-Chicago | 65-58 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
OREGON STATE VS LOYOLA-CHICAGO SWEET 16 BOOKIE BLA$TER The Oregon State Beavers are having a Cinderella season, first winning the Pac-12 tournament title and now reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tourney. They have won six of their last seven outright and covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games. The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers are coming off an upset win at No. 1 seed Illinois, which indeed is impressive, but can they handle being a favorite in this matchup? The Ramblers are the better team, but covering this number won't be easy against a Beavers team that ain't scared of nobody and really embraces the role as underdogs. 8* play on Oregon State. |
|||||||
03-22-21 | Colorado v. Florida State -110 | Top | 53-71 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* COLORADO VS FSU CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The No.4 Florida State Seminoles are coming off a 64-54 win over North Carolina Greensboro, but the game was closer than the final score would suggest. The No.5 Colorado Buffaloes on the other hand dominated Georgetown from start to finish last time out, winning by 23 points in the end. Still, I like FSU in this matchup. Both teams have had a day to rest and recover since their last game, and I think FSU's depth and shooting from behind the arc give them a solid edge in this matchup. 10* play on Florida State. |
|||||||
03-22-21 | LSU +5 v. Michigan | 78-86 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
LSU VS MICHIGAN 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The No. 8 LSU Tigers look like a live dog versus No. 1 Michigan on Monday. The Wolverines could sleepwalk through an 82-66 win over Texas Southern on Saturday, and I don't think they're ready for the intensity LSU will bring. The Tigers held St. Bonaventure to 61 points on 33% shooting from the field (3-for-20, 15% from 3-point range) in their tournament opener. They've covered the spread in five straight games, winning three of those outright as underdogs, and lost by just a point to Bama in the SEC tournament final. 8* play on LSU Tigers. |
|||||||
03-21-21 | Syracuse v. West Virginia -4 | Top | 75-72 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
CBB GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | CUSE VS WEST VIRGINIA The No. 11 Syracuse Orange are coming off a 78-62 win against San Diego State, but the victory also cost a lot of energy. The No. 3 West Virginia Mountaineers meanwhile cruised to an 85-67 win over 14th-seeded Morehead State in their tournament opener. While the Orange have upset quite a few teams lately, I think West Virginia's depth on offense will be able to do good damage on Cuse's 2-3 zone defense. 10* play on West Virginia. |
|||||||
03-20-21 | Missouri v. Oklahoma -104 | 68-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
MIZZOU VS OKLAHOMA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BU$TER The Oklahoma Sooners dropped five of their last six games and they've failed to cover the spread in seven straight games. That's also a reason why they're undervalued for this matchup with the Missouri Tigers. Mizzou was hardly solid down the stretch either and the Tigers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. OK, the Sooners will have to do without second-leading scorer De'Vion Harmon (positive COVID-19 test), but I think the rest of the team will step it up and the books have overadjusted the line. 8* play on Oklahoma. |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Wisconsin v. North Carolina -117 | Top | 85-62 | Loss | -117 | 19 h 59 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* WISCONSIN VS UNC CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The Wisconsin Badgers are stumbling into the NCAA tournament, having won only one of their last five games and two of their last eight. Sure, they've played a tough schedule but were the underdogs in only three of those games. Here they'll face a North Carolina team that had won three on bounce prior to a 69-66 loss to FSU in the ACC tournament semifinal round, but note that the Tar Heels had defeated that same FSU team by eight points two weeks earlier. Badgers are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Tar Heels are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Back the hotter Tar Heels in this matchup. 10* play on North Carolina. |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Oregon State +9 v. Tennessee | 70-56 | Win | 100 | 17 h 13 m | Show | |
FRIDAY AFTERNOON 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The Oregon State Beavers claimed the Pac-12 tournament title after defeating UCLA, top-seeded Oregon and finally Colorado in the final. The Beavers are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. Tennessee is the better team of those two, but it is an unpredictable side and was knocked out of the semi-final of the Southeastern Conference tournament where it lost to Alabama. The Vols were without injured John Fulkerson, and his availability for this contest is uncertain. While yet another upset from Oregon State is a big ask, I do like the Beavers to keep it within the number. 8* play on Oregon State. |
|||||||
03-14-21 | VCU v. St Bonaventure -2.5 | Top | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CBB GAME OF THE WEEK | A10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are coming off an impressive 71-53 rout of Saint Louis. They held the Billikens to 19-of-52 (37%) shooting from the field and look good to get the job done here in the Atlantic 10 Championship game against the VCU Rams. While the Rams are solid on the defensive end, they do not have the three-point shooting to keep pace with the Bonnies and they also turn the ball over far too frequently to be trusted. Rams are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. Bonnies are 36-16-2 ATS in their last 54 games as a favorite. Bonnies are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall. 10* play on St. Bonaventure. |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Cincinnati v. Wichita State -4 | 60-59 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
CINCINNATI VS WICHITA STATE 8* AAC TOURNEY BOOKIE BLA$TER The Cincinnati Bearcats are only 7-14 ATS on the season. They're coming off an upset win against SMU, but they faced a rusty Mustangs team that had not played a game since Feb. 8 because of a COVID-19 shutdown. I think the Bearcats' AAC tournament adventure ends here in the semifinals versus Wichita State. The Shockers showed great heart and resilience as they came from behind to defeat South Florida in the quarterfinals. Wichita State defeated Cincinnati 82-76 on Jan. 10 in the team's lone regular-season meeting, and I expect another Shockers win here. 8* play on Wichita State. |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Tennessee v. Alabama -4 | Top | 68-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TENNESSEE VS ALABAMA 10* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Good spot to back the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide who cruised by Mississippi State in a 85-48 rout on Friday. The Tennessee Volunteers had to spend far more energy in their 78-66 victory over Florida and senior forward John Fulkerson could miss this game after suffering two brutal elbows to his head. "He took pretty two good licks right there, and I would be surprised if he plays," Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. Alabama beat the Volunteers, 71-63 back on Jan. 2 and should get the job done again here in the SEC semifinal. 10* play on Alabama. |
|||||||
03-12-21 | Ohio State -1 v. Purdue | 87-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
OHIO STATE VS PURDUE BANKROLL BUILDER Really like the No. 9 Ohio State Buckeyes as a small favorite against the No. 20 Purdue Boilermakers here in the quarterfinal of the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes are severely underrated after failing to cover the number in five straight games and losing four straight-up, but they did defeat Minnesota last time out. Purdue is overvalued after winning five straight SU and ATS. Buy low, sell high. 8* play on Ohio State. |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Texas Tech v. Texas +1.5 | Top | 66-67 | Win | 100 | 16 h 38 m | Show |
TEXAS TECH @ TEXAS 10* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER I think the wrong team is favored in this Big 12 Conference tournament matchup between the No. 22 Texas Tech Red Raiders and the No. 16 Texas Longhorns. Texas Tech swept the Longhorns during the regular season, but the last meeting took place more than two weeks ago. Texas has won three straight SU and ATS since while Texas Tech closed out the regular season with a 15-point loss at Baylor. Longhorns are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Red Raiders are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall. Red Raiders are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning straight-up record. 10* play on Texas. |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Oklahoma State v. West Virginia -2.5 | 72-69 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY OKLAHOMA STATE VS WEST VIRGINIA CBB BOOKIE BU$TER I like the West Virginia Mountaineers to win and cover the spread when taking on the Oklahoma State Cowboys early on Thursday. While Oklahoma State has been hot down the stretch and defeated WVU 85-80 as a 10-point underdog last Saturday, it should be a different story here in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 championship. We should see a more focused Mountaineers side now that it really matter. 8* play on West Virginia. |
|||||||
03-09-21 | Miami-FL v. Pittsburgh -3 | 79-73 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
EARLY MIAMI-FL @PITT ACC BOOKIE BU$TER Neither the Pittsburgh Panthers nor the Miami Hurricanes have played well down the stretch, but I think Pitt has an edge here in this first-round matchup of the ACC tournament. Pittsburgh won 70-55 when the teams clashed back in December. Sure, Pitt has lost guards Au'Diese Toney and Xavier Johnson (transfer) since, but ia also asked to cover a small number and Miami is shorthanded because of injuries. Hurricanes are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games. Panthers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. 8* play on Pittsburgh Panthers. |
|||||||
03-08-21 | Northern Kentucky v. Oakland OVER 147.5 | 58-69 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
MULTI-PICK PACK CBB The Northern Kentucky Norse are 14-8-1 to the over while the Oakland Golden Grizzlies are 22-6 to the over. Oakland is allowing 82.0 ppg, but is also capable of scoring, averaging 74.6 ppg. I don't think the books have made this total big enough. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
03-08-21 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga UNDER 143.5 | 55-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
WCC TOURNEY BOOKIE BLA$TER | ST. MARY'S VS GONZAGA The Gonzaga Bulldogs are the highest-scoring team in college basketball, averaging 92.9 ppg. Still, they are only 13-11 to the over on the season, and here they'll face a St. Mary's team that is allowing only 62.3 ppg (20th). The Gaels are 14-8 to the under on the season and the under is 43-16 in their last 59 games as an underdog. I think St. Mary's will try and slow down the tempo to not allow Gonzaga to run away with the game early, and that we'll see this game stay under the total. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
03-07-21 | Wisconsin v. Iowa -6 | Top | 73-77 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | WISCONSIN @ IOWA The Iowa Hawkeyes are hot, the Wisconsin Badgers not. While Iowa has won six of its past seven games (5-2 ATS), Wisconsin has four losses in its past five games and failing to cover the number in each loss. Last time out, the Hawkeyes put a 102-64 beating on Nebraska and I think they'll want to keep the momentum going for the Big Ten tournament with a big effort in this one. Badgers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hawkeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hawkeyes are 21-6-2 ATS in their last 29 home games. 10* play on Iowa. |
|||||||
03-06-21 | USC -2 v. UCLA | 64-63 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
USC @ UCLA 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The USC Trojans held the UCLA Bruins to 17-of-57 (30%) shooting from the field in a 66-48 win on Feb 6, and last time out they held Stanford to 42 points on 15-of-59 (25%) shooting. The Bruins are heading into this contest off back-to-back losses SU and ATS and they have covered the number in only two of their last 12 games. The two teams are battling for the top spots in the PAC 12, so neither will lack motivation, but the Bruins are trending in the wrong direction while USC has some momentum. The Trojans have a psychological advantage after defeating the Bruins once already, and I'm putting my money on the visitors here in the regular-season finale. 8* play on USC Trojans. |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Virginia v. Louisville +2 | Top | 68-58 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
CBB GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT | ACC REG SEASON *BEST BET* I love this spot for the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday. The Virginia Cavaliers are in a potential letdown spot as their victory over Miami on Monday night clinched a top-four seed and a double-bye in next week's ACC tournament. The Cardinals hope to the same with a win here. Note that the Cardinals are 5-3, and they'll run into a Louisville team that has won nine of 10 home games on the season. Cavaliers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Cardinals are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. 10* play on Louisville. |

03-05-21 | Western Carolina v. The Citadel +2.5 | 86-100 | Win | 100 | 14 h 14 m | Show | |
TGIF 8* NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Western Carolina Catamounts are only 6-17-1 ATS on the season. They are allowing 78.0 points per game (323rd) and this looks like a bad matchup against The Citadel who averages 80.3 ppg (25th). Western Carolina is particularly bad defending the three, and the Bulldogs are effective from behind the arc. 8* play on The Citadel. |
|||||||
03-04-21 | Monmouth v. Rider +4.5 | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
MONMOUTH @ RIDER 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER The Rider Broncs have won only one of seven home games straight-up, but they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. I also like Rider to build off an impressive 78-65 win as a 9-point dog at St. Peter's last time out. Monmouth-NJ will play its seventh consecutive road game, and the team has covered the spread in only one of its last five games. In their last game, the Hawks took an 88-65 beating at Iona and they are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Lastly, note that the home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. 8* play on Rider. |

TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | BEDLAM SERIES *BEST BET* Love the Oklahoma Sooners in this matchup as they look to avenge a 94-90 home loss in overtime to Oklahoma State a couple of days ago. The Sooners rarely lose back-to-back games, and I think they'll have a better plan for how to stop Cade Cunningham who dropped 40 points on them last time out. Sooners are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Sooners are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. 10* play on Oklahoma. |

02-28-21 | Iowa v. Ohio State -3 | Top | 73-57 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
IOWA @ OHIO STATE 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY *BEST OF THE BEST* The #9 Iowa Hawkeyes took a 79-57 beating at Michigan last time out, and this does not look like a good bounce-back spot against an Ohio State team looking to redeem itself coming off a pair of losses. "We've got to be better," Ohio State guard CJ Walker said. "We've got to refocus and be better defensively. That's the biggest thing right now." The #4 Buckeyes won 89-85 at Iowa back on February 4 and they are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. Buckeyes are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Hawkeyes are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on Ohio State. |

02-28-21 | Michigan State v. Maryland -2.5 | 55-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
MICHIGAN STATE @ MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER | 2:00 ET The Michigan State Spartans are only 7-15 ATS on the season and in a bit letdown spot here following three straight-up wins as underdogs. Only one of those wins was on the road, and the Spartans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. They'll face a Maryland team that is riding a four-game winning streak, including an upset win at Rutgers last time out. While the Spartans have played a tough and tight schedule lately, the Terps have had a week off since their win over Rutgers. I think the home team will overcome any eventual rust and get the job done. 8* play on Maryland. |

02-27-21 | Texas v. Texas Tech -3 | Top | 59-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH | EARLY 12:00 START I really like the Texas Tech Red Raiders here as they'll be looking to snap an ugly three-game losing streak. Last time out they suffered a tough OT loss at Oklahoma State while Texas is coming off an OT win over Kansas. Texas Tech won 79-77 at Texas back in January. Surely the Red Raiders can get the job done at home. 10* play on Texas Tech. |

02-26-21 | Northern Iowa -3 v. Illinois State | Top | 70-56 | Win | 100 | 20 h 57 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* TGIF CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | 9:00 PM TIP-OFF Both Northern Iowa (4-15-1 ATS) and Illinois State (8-12-1 ATS) have underperformed against the spread all season. I think this looks like a good spot to back the Panthers though as they look to bounce back from a 77-69 loss to Drake while Illinois is coming off a 88-71 win against Bradley. The Redbirds shot 57% from the field (40% from 3-point range), and I highly doubt they can shoot like that two games in a row. 10* play on Northern Iowa. |

02-22-21 | Texas Tech -3 v. Oklahoma State | Top | 69-74 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 20 m | Show |
TEXAS TECH @ OKLAHOMA STATE 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like an excellent spot to back the No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders who should be ready to go off, coming off back-to-back losses to West Virginia and Kansas. At only 1-6 ATS over their last seven games, the Raiders are now severely underrated by the betting market and the No. 22 Oklahoma State Cowboys are in a potential letdown spot after defeating Iowa State by 18 points last time out. The Red Raiders will also be looking to avenge an 82-77 overtime loss to Oklahoma State in Lubbock on January 2. I expect to see a reaction from Texas Tech following its recent struggles. 10* play on Texas Tech. |

02-21-21 | Michigan v. Ohio State +2 | 92-87 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
MICHIGAN @ OHIO STATE BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER The #3 Michigan Wolverines are coming into this game with a 15-1 record. I think they're about to suffer their second defeat of the season here though, facing an Ohio State team that is playing its best basketball of the season. Michigan has played only two games this month after having games postponed due to COVID-19. The #4 Buckeyes just put up 92 points at PSU last time out, and they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 8* play on Ohio State. |
|||||||
02-20-21 | Illinois v. Minnesota +6 | Top | 94-63 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 0 m | Show |
ILLINOIS @ MINNESOTA 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Golden Gophers took an 82-72 loss and Indiana a couple of days ago. At home, Minnesota is 13-1 on the season though and the Gophers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. Illinois looks like good fade material after winning six straight games. The Fighting Illini might be running out of gas as they have failed to cover the number in their last two games, and I would not be surprised if the Gophers can pull an outríght upset here. 10* play on Minnesota. |
|||||||
02-18-21 | Houston v. Wichita State +8 | 63-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
HOUSTON @ WICHITA STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The Houston Cougars are 17-2 SU and 13-5 ATS on the season, but they might be rusty here as it's been a week since their last game, an 82-65 triumph at USF. They'll face a Wichita State team that sits second in the AAC, and I think the Shockers are getting a couple of points extra in this one after failing to cover the number in five straight games. Still, the Shockers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. I'm taking the points on the home dog in this matchup. 8* play on Wichita State. |
|||||||
02-18-21 | Iowa v. Wisconsin | 77-62 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
IOWA @ WISCONSIN 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER The No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers are 15-7 on the season, but 11-3 home at Kohl Center. I like them to bounce back from a 67-59 home loss to third-ranked Michigan. Note that the Badgers are 10-1-2 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss, and here they'll face a No. 11 Hawkeyes team that might be due for a bad game after winning two in a row. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 road games. 8* play on Wisconsin. |
|||||||
02-17-21 | Utah State v. Boise State -125 | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
UTAH STATE @ BOISE STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The Utah State Aggies are a solid 12-5 ATS on the season, but I think they're about to run into some serious trouble when visiting Boise State Wednesday night. Note that Utah State is likely to be rusty as they have had heir last three games postponed due to COVID-19 protocols. The Broncos are coming off a pair of wins against UNLV, but they won the last game by only two points as a 9.5-point favorite. We should see a reaction from such a flat performance and I expect a strong outing from the Broncos in this one. 8* play on Boise State. |
|||||||
02-16-21 | Xavier v. St. John's -119 | 84-93 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
XAVIER @ ST. JOHN'S 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The St. John's Red Storm had won six straight and covered the spread in eight in a row prior to a 76-73 OT loss at Butler last time out. I like the Red Storm to bounce back and start another run here in a revenge spot against a Xavier team they lost to by eight points back on Jan 6. The Musketeers have played only one game this month, an 80-72 loss to UConn on January 13. I would not be surprised if they still have a bit of rust to shake off. 8* play on St. John's. |
|||||||
02-16-21 | Missouri -3.5 v. Georgia | Top | 70-80 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 14 m | Show |
MIZZOU @ GEORGIA | TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to back the No. 20 Missouri Tigers as they look to bounce back from a couple of disappointing losses. Here they'll face a Georgia team that has struggled immensely on the defensive end all season, and in their most recent game, the Bulldogs gave up 115 points at Alabama. Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. 10* play on Mizzou. |
|||||||
02-16-21 | Providence +5.5 v. Connecticut | 61-73 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
PROVIDENCE @ UCONN 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER I like the Providence Friars to keep it within the number here against a UConn Huskies team in a potential letdown spot following an upset win at Xavier. The Huskies have dropped four of their last six games straight-up and the Friars beat UConn 70-59 last Wednesday. The Friars have played excellent defense in recent games and limited Depaul to 47 points last time out. 8* play on Providence. |
|||||||
02-15-21 | Virginia v. Florida State -1 | 60-81 | Win | 100 | 22 h 47 m | Show | |
VIRGINIA VS FLORIDA STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Good spot to fade the No. 9 Virginia Cavaliers after winning 11 of their past 12 and reeling off four straight triumphs, winning the last two big. While they've been playing well, one must wonder if they're about to run out of steam soon. That is not the case for the No. 17 FSU Seminoles who have played only one game this month, an OT win against Wake Forest on Jan 13. They were a bit rusty in that game but should be back up to speed tonight. FSU has not lost at the Donald L. Tucker Center since Jan. 12, and I really like the home team in this one. 8* play on Florida State. |
|||||||
02-14-21 | Minnesota v. Maryland -2.5 | 59-72 | Win | 100 | 12 h 28 m | Show | |
MINNESOTA @ MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER Good spot to fade the Gophers who are coming off back-to-back home wins over Nebraska and No. 24 Purdue. They are however 0-6 SU on the road this season and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. We should see a reaction from the Terps after dropping two straight and failing to cover the spread in each of their last four. Maryland defeated Minnesota 63-49 on the road back on January 23. I expect another comfortable win for Maryland in this one. 8* play on Maryland. |
|||||||
02-14-21 | UCF v. Cincinnati UNDER 135 | Top | 68-69 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 16 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP-RATED 10* CBB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY Two offensively challenged teams will clash at Fifth Third Arena Sunday afternoon. The Cincinnati Bearcats are 9-4 to the over on the season, despite putting up only 68.8 ppg. They are allowing a fair amount of points, but that won't be an issue here against a UCF team that is averaging 65.1 ppg. The Knights held Tulane to 49 points on 31.6 percent field-goal shooting last time out and have allowed only 56 ppg over their last three games. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | Arkansas v. Missouri -2.5 | 86-81 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 47 m | Show | |
ARKANSAS @ MISSOURI 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER Fade the Arkansas Razorbacks off an 81-80 win at Kentucky. The Missouri Tigers took an 80-59 loss at Ole Miss last time out, and I expect a big reaction. The Tigers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and the Razorbacks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 8* play on Missouri. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | Auburn +2 v. Kentucky | 80-82 | Push | 0 | 16 h 49 m | Show | |
AUBURN @ KENTUCKY 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Fade the Kentucky Wildcats who have lost four straight SU and ATS. Auburn snapped a three-game losing streak with a 73-67 win over Vanderbilt on Tuesday and it is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Wildcats are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Auburn won the first meeting against Kentucky 66-59 at home on Jan. 16. 8* play on Auburn. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | Oklahoma v. West Virginia -3 | 91-90 | Loss | -114 | 16 h 46 m | Show | |
OKLAHOMA @ WEST VIRGINIA 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER Revenge game for West Virginia who too a 75-71 loss to then-unranked Oklahoma back on Jan 2. The Mountaineers were going through a rough patch at the time (roster issues), but they have turned things around and enter Saturday on a three-game winning streak. In their last game, West Virginia won 82-71 at TTU, impressive. Back the Mountaineers to get their revenge. 8* play on West Virginia. |
|||||||
02-11-21 | UNLV +10 v. Boise State | 66-78 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT UNLV VS BOISE STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER | 10:00 PM ET The Boise State Broncos are not playing well at the moment losing three of their last four SU and straight up. Here they'll face a UNLV team with momentum following a pair of big wins against Air Force. While the Rebels are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall, note that they are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Boise State might very well win the game, but it won't be by double-digits. 8* play on UNLV. |
|||||||
02-10-21 | Connecticut -2 v. Providence | 59-70 | Loss | -112 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
EARLY UCONN @ PROVIDENCE 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Good spot to back the UConn Huskies to bounce back from a disappointing 80-73 loss to Seton Hall on Feb 6. They have had plenty of time to rest, prepare and process the defeat and they are still a solid 8-4 SU (9-3 ATS) on the season despite dropping three of their last four games. Leading scorer, James Bouknight, might be back in the lineup for the first time since injuring his left elbow Jan. 5. Providence is coming off three straight losses SU and ATS, and I think its slide will continue. 8* play on UConn Huskies. |
|||||||
02-09-21 | Penn State v. Michigan State -2.5 | 58-60 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
PENN STATE @ MICHIGAN STATE 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Penn State Nittany Lions are 1-6 SU on the road (0-6 in Big Ten) and took a 72-56 beating at Wisconsin in their last away game. The Michigan State Spartans ended a four-game skid (three on the road) with a 66-56 win over Nebraska last time out and they are 7-2 SU home in East Lansing on the season. The Spartans need to start winning games to make it back to the NCAA Tournament, and I expect a big game from them tonight. 8* play on Michigan State. |
|||||||
02-08-21 | Quinnipiac v. Fairfield +3.5 | 70-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY QUINNIPIAC @ FAIRFILD 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER Good spot to back the Fairfield Stags after taking a 78-63 loss to this very Quinnipiac team yesterday. The Bobcats shot 57% from the field and 50% (11-of-22) from 3-point range, both way above their season averages. I find it very unlikely that they can come up with a shooting performance like that two days in a row, and note that the Stags are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. 8* play on Fairfield. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Drexel v. Hofstra -3.5 | 74-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show | |
DREXEL @ HOFSTRA 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER Hofstra had won five on the bounce before losing 73-71 to Drexel on Saturday. They'll get a quick revenge opportunity here on Sunday, and I like the Pride to bounce back with a big game today. Note that Hofstra had 64 shot attempts against Drexel's 42, but they made only 38% of their shots while the Dragons shot an insane 62%. That won't happen today. Hofstra takes this one easily. 8* play on Hofstra. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Iowa -3 v. Indiana | 65-67 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY IOWA VS INDIANA 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Good spot to back the Iowa Hawkeyes as they're coming off a disappointing 89-85 loss to Ohio State. They have now dropped three of their last four straight up (0-4 ATS) and need to turn the ship around ASAP. The Hoosiers have also dropped three of their last four, and they are only 4-4 SU at home on the season and Hoosiers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Additionally, revenge game for Iowa after taking an 81-69 home loss to Indiana on Jan 21. Hawkeyes are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games following a ATS loss. Hawkeyes are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss. 8* play on Iowa. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Washington State v. Oregon State -2 | 66-68 | Push | 0 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
WASHINGTON STATE VS OREGON STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER The Oregon State Beavers are 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS in their last six games. The losses came at USC and UCLA and they have impressive upset wins over Arizona State, USC and Oregon during that stretch. Last time out, they blew out Washington by 20 points. The Washington State Cougars had lost six on the bounce before coming up with back-to-back wins. Last time out, they upset Oregon as an 11.5-point dog, which sets up a potential flat spot here. 8* play on Oregon State. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | St Bonaventure v. St. Louis -3 | 59-70 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
ST. BONAVENTURE @ ST: LOUIS | 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Saint Louis Billikens have dropped back-to-back games, as nine and 12.5-point favorites respectively, since returning to the court after having five games postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. I think we'll see a huge reaction today, and they'll face a Bonnies team due for a bad game after reeling off seven straight victories. All but one of those wins came as favorites though, and now they'll be in the unusual spot as an underdog. Billikens are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite. 8* play on St. Louis. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Seton Hall v. Connecticut +1.5 | 80-73 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 13 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY SETON HALL VS UCONN 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The UConn Huskies have not played since Jan 26 after having their last two games postponed, and they'll be without injured leading scorer James Bouknight for a sixth straight game. Still, the Huskies are 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS without Bouknight and I like them to get the job done here against a Seton Hall team in a letdown spot after ending a three-game skid with an impressive 60-43 win at Providence last time out. The Pirates held the Friars to 34 percent shooting from the field in the victory, but here they'll get a taste of their own medicine by a UConn defense that ranks first in conference games in points allowed (62.9 ppg). 8* play on UConn. |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Cincinnati v. Temple +2 | 63-60 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
CINCINNATI VS TEMPLE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Good spot to fade the Bearcats who are only 2-8 ATS on the season and have been out of action since Jan. 10 after having six games postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the program. Temple has covered the number in four of its last six games Bearcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite. Owls are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. I'm counting on Temple to get it done here against a shorthanded and rusty Bearcats team. 8* play on Temple. |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Ohio State v. Iowa -5.5 | Top | 89-85 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* OHIO STATE VS IOWA BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH The Ohio State Buckeyes are riding a three-game winning streak that started with an upset win at Wisconsin on Jan 23. I do not like their chances in this one though, facing an Iowa team that is undervalued and due for a big game after winning only one of its last three games, failing to cover the spread in all three. While Ohio State has scored 70+ points in three straight games, note that Iowa has the second-best scoring average in the nation on the season, averaging 89.4 points per game. Hawkeyes are 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS loss. Hawkeyes are 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 home games. Buckeyes are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* play on Iowa. |
|||||||
02-03-21 | SMU -3 v. Tulsa | 65-63 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
SMU VS TULSA 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER The SMU Mustangs took a 22-point beating at conference-leader Houston last time out. They shot only 32% (15-of-47) in the setback, but I like them to bounce back here against a Tulsa team coming off a 77-68 triumph at East Carolina on Dec 30. The Golden Hurricane had lost back-to-back games prior to the win, and I don't think they'll be as hungry for a win here as the visitors. 8* play on SMU Mustangs. |
|||||||
02-03-21 | Houston -16 v. East Carolina | Top | 73-82 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* NCAAB AAC GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY The Houston Cougars have reeled off eight straight wins (7-1 ATS) since an upset loss at Tulsa on Dec 29. They have won five of their last six by 20+ points, including a 70-48 thrashing of a 9-3 SMU team last time out. East Carolina is 7-6 SU (3-8 ATS) on the season, and coming off five straight losses SU and ATS. I just don't see the Pirates keeping pace with the superior Cougars. 10* play on Houston. |
|||||||
02-02-21 | Purdue v. Maryland -2.5 | 60-61 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
PURDUE VS MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Purdue is coming off an 81-62 rout of Minnesota. Very impressive, but I think the Boilermakers will find this to be a much tougher game, facing a well-rested and angry Maryland team that took a 61-55 loss to Wisconsin last time out. We can also note that this is a revenge game for the Terps after losing 73-70 at Purdue on December 25. 8* play on Maryland. |
|||||||
02-02-21 | Maryland-Baltimore County -3.5 v. NJIT | 75-71 | Win | 100 | 1 h 8 m | Show | |
EARLY UMBC VS NJIT 8* CBB DAYTIME DESTROYER The UMBC Retrievers are 10-4 SU and 8-6 ATS on the season. This looks like a good spot to back them to bounce back from a 69-65 loss to the Highlanders a couple of days ago. NJIT is only 6-7 SU and ATS on the season. It shot 50% from the field and had 18 free throw attempts against only 10 for UMBC in the first meeting of this doubleheader. I expect a much better game from the Retrievers in this one. 8* play on UMBC. |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Illinois State +18 v. Drake | 60-95 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
ILLINOIS STATE VS DRAKE 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Drake Bulldogs had covered the spread in each of their 13 games this season before winning by only two in OT as a 19-point favorite against Illinois State yesterday. We'll see plenty of inflated lines against Drake the rest of the season due to its exceptional ATS record. I like the Redbirds to keep this one within the number as well, particularly as Drake does not have a perfect record to protect anymore. 8* play on Illinois State. |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Georgia Tech v. Louisville -3.5 | 58-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
EARLY GEORGIA TECH VS LOUISVILLE 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER ~ 2:00 ET Georgia Tech is coming off an upset win over Florida State which sets up a potential flat spot. Louisville on the other hand took a 54-50 loss at Clemson last time out, its third loss in four games. The Cardinals made only 18-of-57 field goals against the Tigers, but they should have better success against the Yellow Jackets who are allowing 71.5 ppg (218th). I'm backing Louisville to bounce back with a strong performance today. 8* play on Louisville. |
|||||||
01-31-21 | Michigan State +7.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP-RATED 10* MICHIGAN STATE @ OHIO STATE *BEST OF THE BEST* Ohio State defeated Penn State 83-79 last time out, but it was far from an impressive performance as the Buckeyes committed a season-high 17 turnovers. I think we'll see another lackluster win for the Buckeyes here, and while I do think they'll win outright, I really like Michigan State to cover the number. The Spartans shot only 29% (16-of-56) from the field in an embarrassing 67-37 loss at Rutgers on Thursday. They are somewhat excused as it was the Spartans' first game since Jan. 8 after having three games postponed due to COVID-19 issues in the program. "I'm sure we have a little COVID hangover, I understand that, but that will not be an excuse for the way we played," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "That would be a good excuse for losing a game, but not the way we played." I have no doubt coach Izzo will have his players better prepared for this one. 10* play on Michigan State. |

01-30-21 | Florida State -3.5 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 65-76 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* ACC GAME OF THE MONTH Florida State defeated Georgia Tech at home 74-61 on Dec. 15. The Seminoles are playing even better basketball right now, coming off five straight wins SU and ATS (four wins by double-digits) while Georgia Tech is coming off a pair of losses at Virginia and Duke. Ride the hot hand with the Noles to get the job done on the road. 10* play on Florida State. |

01-30-21 | Villanova v. Seton Hall +5 | 80-72 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
VILLANOVA VS SETON HALL 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Seton Hall looks primed for a big outing after dropping three of its last four games. Last time out, the Pirates failed to hold on to a 16-point second-half lead against no. 17 Creighton, but I think they'll do better in this one. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings with Villanova and Seton Hall lost by only two points when the two teams clashed less than two weeks ago. The Pirates are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog and 48-22 ATS in their last 70 games as an underdog. 8* play on Seton Hall. |

01-30-21 | Alabama v. Oklahoma +1.5 | 61-66 | Win | 100 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY ALABAMA VS OKLAHOMA 8* BOOKIE BOMBER 12:00 PM ET START The Sooners are 10-4 on the season despite playing a very tough schedule. Their losses have come to Xavier, Texas Tech, Baylor and Kansas, but they have also defeated then-No. 9 Kansas at home and No. 5 Texas on the road. The Sooners have covered the spread in five straight games overall and each of their last five at home. Alabama is riding a 10-game winning streak, but it will be facing a ranked opponent for just the second time all season. 8* play on Oklahoma. |

01-29-21 | Boise State -2.5 v. Colorado State | 85-77 | Win | 100 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT BOISE STATE VS CSU 8* BOOKIE BLA$TER Late add to Friday's card. Boise State has only two losses on the season, one came last time out when they got humiliated in a 22-point loss to CSU in the first game of this two-game set. Broncos are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss and I'll think they'll get quick revenge. 8* play on Boise State. |

01-28-21 | Memphis v. SMU -3 | Top | 65-67 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 5 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MEMPHIS VS SMU CBB PLAY OF THE DAY SMU is 5-2 at home and will be looking to avenge a loss at Memphis just a couple of days ago. Potential flat spot for the Tigers following three straight wins SU and ATS. Tigers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. Mustangs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Home team is 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings. 10* play on SMU. |

01-27-21 | Louisville v. Clemson -120 | 50-54 | Win | 100 | 1 h 37 m | Show | |
8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER Louisville is 10-3 on the season but only 3-2 on the road with losses at Miami and Wisconsin. They'll face an angry and desperate Tigers team looking to bounce back from three consecutive losses. Cardinals are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. Tigers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. 8* play on Clemson. |

01-27-21 | Creighton -125 v. Seton Hall | 85-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
CREIGHTON VS SETON HALL 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Seton Hall has dropped two of its last three games, including an 89-53 beating it took on the road against Creighton on January 6. The Pirates have not played since January 19, and I would not be surprised if they come out rusty here while the Bluejays are playing on a more reasonable four days of rest since beating UConn by eight points. Favorite is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. 8* play on Creighton. |

EARLY BYU VS PEPPERDINE 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER Pepperdine took a 65-54 loss at BYU on Jan 23, but the Waves have a winning record of 5-3 at home. The Waves are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 5-2-2 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog. Home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 8* play on Pepperdine. |

01-26-21 | Oklahoma v. Texas -4.5 | Top | 80-79 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
SIZZLING 5-1 (83%) CBB RUN ~ BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH *BIG BET ALERT* No. 5 Texas has not played since beating Kansas State 82-67 on January 16 as it has had its last two games, at Iowa State and at TCU, were postponed because of COVID-19. I still think they'll be sharp enough to beat the Sooners who are coming off an upset win against Kansas. No. 24 Oklahoma struggles defending the three allowing opponents to shoot 36.8% from three-point range and the Longhorns have had a couple of big games from behind the arc. 10* play on Texas. |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Notre Dame v. Miami-FL -3 | 73-59 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
NOTRE DAME VS MIAMI-FL 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER Good spot to back Miami-FL to bounce back from a humiliating loss at Syracuse while Notre Dame could come out flat after putting an end to a four-game losing streak with an 80-70 win over Boston College last time out. The Irish have struggled on the road this season and it's never easy to beat the Canes at Watsco Center. 8* play on Miami-FL. |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Davidson -2 v. Massachusetts | Top | 69-60 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY DAVIDSON @ UMASS TOP RATED CBB PLAY OF THE DAY Davidson is coming off three straight wins. While they are only 1-2 ATS through those games, note that the two games they did not cover, the Wildcats still won by double-digits. UMass has also won three in a row, covering the spread in each game. The Minutemen held Fordham to 46 points last time out, but their defense is still a concern allowing 75.0 ppg on the season. The Wildcats meanwhile are holding opponents to 65.1 ppg while putting up 72.9 ppg themselves. 10* play on Davidson. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Oregon State +9 v. Oregon | 75-64 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
*BAILOUT PLAY* OREGON STATE VS OREGON BOOKIE BU$TER - 10:30 ET START This looks like a good spot to fade Oregon who will play its first game since January 9 after having its last three games postponed because of COVID-19 restrictions. Oregon State has won back-to-back games and five of its last seven. Last time out, the Beavers defeated USC as a 10-point dog and I like them to keep it close here against a Ducks team that more than likely has some rust to knock off. 8* play on Oregon State. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Virginia Tech v. Syracuse -120 | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY VIRGINIA TECH @ SYRACUSE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER 12:00 ET The Orange snapped a two-game skid with a dominant 83-57 win over Miami last time out. It was the first time in five games they covered the spread, and I like them to do it again here against a Virginia Tech side that is overvalued by th market after covering the number in six of its last eight. Hokies are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog. Orange are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. 8* play on Syracuse. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Connecticut v. Creighton -7.5 | Top | 66-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY UCONN @ CREIGHTON 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Two teams coming off a loss as favorites. Actually, No. 11 Creighton is coming off back-to-back setbacks and I think it'll be the side to bounce back to win and cover as a favorite. The Huskies are 7-2 ATS on the season despite shooting only 43% from the field (233rd). Creighton meanwhile is one of the most effective teams in the nation with a 49% field goal percentage (29th). Sure, the Bluejays needed OT to win at Connecticut back in December, but I think they'll steamroll their opponent this time around. 10* play on Creighton. |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Seton Hall +9 v. Villanova | Top | 74-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CBB BIG EAST GAME OF THE MONTH Good spot to fade the Villanova Wildcats who have had almost a month off from competitive basketball since routing Marquette on Dec 23. They'll face a hot Seton Hall team that has won four of its last five games, only falling to Creighton during that span. Admittedly, their setback to the Bluejays was a blowout, but they bounced back nicely with an eight-point win at DePaul last time out. Pirates are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 games as a road underdog. Wildcats are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Seton Hall. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Kansas +9 v. Baylor | 69-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
KANSAS @ BAYLOR 8* CBB BOOKIE BLASTER - 9 PM ET START - PROFIT GUARANTEE Kansas has three losses on the season after falling at Oklahoma State on January 12. They've had plenty of time to rest and prepare for this one since while Baylor last was in action on Jan 16 when they defeated Texas Tech. Baylor is an undefeated 12-0 SU and a superb 10-2 ATS, but I like the well-rested Jayhawks to cover the number in this one. The Bears offense has not clicked in recent games as they've been held to 67 and 68 points in their last two games. Jayhawks are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings. 8* play on Kansas. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | VMI +7.5 v. East Tennessee State | Top | 81-92 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY - MUST WIN! VMI ranks 25th in the nation for points per game on the season and the Keydets just dropped 110 on Citadel. East Tennessee State relies on its defense, but without much success lately allowing 78 points or more in three of its last four games. Keydets are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on VMI. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Arkansas +2.5 v. Alabama | Top | 59-90 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* NCAAB SEC GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY Alabama is 5-1 SU at home on the season but looks overvalued by the market after winning six straight, including an upset win at Kentucky last time out. For this one, Bama will be without starters Jordan Bruner and Herb Jones who both got injured in the most recent victory. The win over the Wildcats sets up a potential flat spot for the Tide this Saturday while Arkansas is undervalued after losing three of four and taking a 92-76 beating at LSU last time out. 10* play on Arkansas. |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Duquesne +8.5 v. St Bonaventure | 48-62 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
8* COLLEGE BASKETBALL BOOKIE BOMBER I would not be surprised if St. Bonaventure comes out flat following three straight double-digit wins. The Dukes are undervalued by the betting market after failing to cover the number in four straight games and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog. 8* play on Duquesne. |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Hofstra -3.5 v. Delaware | Top | 56-74 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
EARLY TOP-RATED 10* HOFSTRA @ DELAWARE CBB PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to back the Hofstra Pride as they are undervalued after failing to cover the number in four straight games. This game was supposed to be played on Saturday, but it was delayed due to injury issues for Delaware who had only five healthy scholarship players at that time. I don't see this roughed up Blue Hens team hanging around with Hofstra for 40 minutes. 10* play on Hofstra. |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Purdue v. Indiana -3.5 | 81-69 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
PURDUE @ INDIANA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BLA$TER Both Purdue and Indiana are checking in at 8-5 SU, but the Hoosiers have a superior 9-4 record ATS (Boilermakers are 4-7-2 ATS). Home advantage should also be a factor as Indiana is 4-1 at home while Purdue is 1-4 on the road. Boilermakers are 5-12-3 ATS in their last 20 road games and 3-8-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog. Hoosiers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite. 8* play on Indiana. |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Washington State +10 v. UCLA | 61-91 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
WASHINGTON STATE @ UCLA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BOMBER Two 9-2 teams will clash at Pauley Pavilion on Thursday. UCLA is the only remaining undefeated team in Pac-12 play, but I think the Bruins are asked to cover too many points in this one. The Cougars look primed to bounce back from a flat 15-point loss at Stanford a week ago while seven days off to possibly break the momentum probably was not what the hot UCLA wanted as it is riding a four-game winning streak. Underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Cougars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. 8* play on Washington State. |
|||||||
01-12-21 | TCU +6.5 v. Oklahoma | 46-82 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK - TCU The TCU Horned Frogs are only 5-8 ATS on the season, but I expect them to show up big time for this one after getting humiliated by Baylor last time out. Oklahoma has spent a lot of energy battling top teams in recent games, and I would not be surprised if they look past TCU. Horned Frogs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Sooners are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as a favorite. 8* play on TCU. |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Butler v. St. John's -130 | 57-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK - ST. JOHN'S The Butler Bulldogs have dropped three of their last four. All losses came as underdogs, and I think they'll suffer another setback in this one. St. John's is getting no respect from the oddsmakers after covering the number in only one of their last seven games. They should be due for a big performance, and note that the home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 head-to-head in this series. 8* play on St. John's. |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Wisconsin +4 v. Michigan | Top | 54-77 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 38 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* WISCONSIN @ MICHIGAN BIG TEN PLAY OF THE DAY The No. 7 Michigan Wolverines are an unbeaten 10-0 SU and a solid 8-2 ATS on the season, but I think they'll face a tough test from the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers in this one. The Badgers have already downed one Bit Ten opponent on the road when they defeated Michigan State by nine points on Christmas Day, and they have a defense that has held opponents to an average of 61.5 points on 38.9 percent shooting on the season. The underdog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 head-to-head in this series, and this one is likely to go down to the wire. 10* play on Wisconsin. |

01-11-21 | Bradley v. Northern Iowa -103 | 75-73 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
BRADLEY @ NORTHERN IOWA 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER The Northern Iowa Panthers are only 3-7 on the season, but all three wins were earned home at McLeod Center and they defeated Bradley 78-72 in the first game of this doubleheader yesterday. 8* play on Northern Iowa. |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Colorado -2.5 v. Utah | Top | 65-58 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* COLORADO @ UTAH CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Utes are not playing well at the moment, coming off three straight losses and they have failed to cover the spread in the last two. That includes a 79-73 home loss to Oregon on January 12, a Ducks team Colorado defeated by seven points two days earlier. The Buffaloes have had plenty of rest since, and I think they'll prove too much to handle for the Utes in this one. Buffaloes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. Utes are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog. 10* top play on Colorado. |
