01-02-18 | Delaware +10.5 v. College of Charleston | 78-93 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Vegas INSIDER on Delaware + I like the value here with the Blue Hens catching double-digits on the road against Charleston. Delaware comes in having won 4 straight and last time out won outright at UNC-Wilmington as a underdog. Charleston is simply overvalued here playing at home and coming in having won 9 of their last 10. Note that we have a lot total here of 129, which only adds more value to the points. Charleston is also a mere 8-21 ATS in their last 29 home games with a total of 129.5 or less and just 18-34 ATS in their last 52 home games when they come in having won 4 of their last 5. Take Delaware! |

01-02-18 | William & Mary +3 v. James Madison | 84-76 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on William & Mary + I like the value here with the Tribe catching points on the road against James Madison. William & Mary comes in a t8-4 and are 1-0 in conference play, while the Dukes are just 4-10 on the season and lost at home in their conference opener to Northeastern. Last time out the Tribe beat Hofstra 90-87 behind great 3-point shooting and are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 off a game where they combined for 155 or more points and 6-0 ATS last 7 after a game where they shot 50% or better from behind the 3-point line. We also have a great system in play backing a fade of the Dukes. Home teams with a line of +3 to -3 after a game where they allowed 80 or more points and playing a team that has allowed 80+ in at least 2 straight games are a mere 18-44 (29%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take William & Mary! |

01-01-18 | Quinnipiac +5.5 v. Siena | 71-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 16 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Quinnipiac + I like the value here with the Bobcats catching points on the road against the Saints. Quinnipiac comes in off an impressive 78-76 win at home over Monmouth as a 6.5-point dog and have now covered 4 straight games where a line has been posted. Siena on the other hand comes in off a road loss at Marist as a 3-point favorite and are now just 1-3 ATS in their last 4 lined games. The Saints are also just 2-5 SU in their last 7 games and this puts them in a great fade spot, as they are 0-6 ATS over the last 2 seasons when they come into a contest having lost 5 or 6 of their last 7 games. Siena is also just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs a team with a losing record, while the Bobcats are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 after covering last time out. Take Quinnipiac! |

12-31-17 | Grizzlies v. Kings UNDER 196 | Top | 114-96 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
5* NBA Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Kings/Grizzlies UNDER The simple fact that the Grizzlies just played in a game last night with Golden State that saw 269 combined points and have a total less than 200 tonight says it all. Memphis couldn't have played any better in that game, as they laid it all on the line against the defending champs. They shot 52% from the field and were a ridiculous 15 of 21 (71%) from long distance. The pace of the game was frantic and I just don't see how they come out with any energy tonight, especially against one of the league's bottom feeders in the Kings. Keep in mind that even with the massive outburst last night, the Grizzlies are still averaging a mere 98.3 ppg this season. They simply let the Warriors dictate the tempo. Memphis on the season ranks dead last in the NBA in pace. The Kings love to play at a slow tempo as well, as they are right behind the Grizzlies at 29th in pace. This has all the makings of a low-scoring game. Take the UNDER! |

12-31-17 | Iona -1.5 v. Canisius | 78-85 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Vegas HEAVY HITTER on Iona - I like the value here with the Gaels laying a short number on the road against the Golden Griffins. Iona comes in having won 6 of their last 8 with the only two losses coming on the road against St. John's and Rhode Island as double-digit dogs. They are simply the better team and should be laying more than this against one of the bottom feeders of the MAAC. Iona has gone an impressive 19-8 in their last 27 conference road games, while the Golden Griffins are just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games when coming off 3 or more wins in a row. We also have a strong system in play backing a fade of Canisius. Home underdogs with just two returning starters from last year, who are coming off a close home win by 3-points or less are just 61-109 (36%) ATS dating all the way back to 1997. Take Iona! |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Rider +1 v. Niagara | 99-76 | Win | 100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Rider + I like the value here with the Broncs as at basically a pick'em on the road against the Purple Eagles. Rider comes in off a heartbreaking 76-77 loss at Canisius, but that was a tough spot playing on 7 days rest and off that huge upset win on the road over Penn State. I expect the Broncs to rebound here with a comfortable win over Niagara. While neither of these teams play much defense, the Purple Eagles have been atrocious on that side of the ball. Niagara is allowing 88 ppg, while allowing opponents to shoot 48% from the field and 40% from behind the 3-point line. Last time out they gave up 98 points to Iona and the Gaels only shot 39.5% from the field. Broncs are a perfect 8-0 ATS in their last 8 after playing 2 straight games as an underdog, while the Purple Eagles are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 at home after a home game where both teams scored 75 or more points and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 after playing their previous game as a home dog. Take Rider! |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Monmouth -2 v. St. Peter's | 64-77 | Loss | -102 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Early Bird ATS ANNIHILATOR on Monmouth - I like the value here with the Hawks laying a short number on the road against the Peacocks. This line really says it all, as Monmouth is favored, yet they come in at 4-9, while St. Peter's is 6-6. Not only have the Hawks played the much tougher schedule, but they have had some tough breaks in close games. Out of their 9 losses, only 2 have come by more than 11 points and those two were against Virginia and Kentucky. Last time out they lost a heartbreaker at Quinnipiac 76-78 in their conference opener and that's only going to have them more motivated to get a win here. Note that St. Peter's is just 26-48 ATS in their last 74 games when listed as a home dog and a mere 9-22 ATS in their last 31 home games vs teams who shoot 45% or better from the field. Take Monmouth! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | 76ers v. Nuggets OVER 215.5 | 107-102 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under TOTAL DOMINATOR on Nuggets OVER I look for the 76ers and Nuggets to have little to no problem going OVER the posted total here by the books. Denver features one of the most explosive offenses in the league, especially when they are home. The Nuggets are scoring 111.7 ppg at home, while shooting 49% from the field and 38% from long-distance. They should have no problem reaching their average at home and I would be shocked if they don't eclipse it. The 76ers are giving up 110.7 ppg on the road and will not have their best defender in Joel Embiid, as he sits this one out to rest. While the 76ers will mis Embiid's scoring, they play at a much faster tempo without him on the floor, as he likes to work a lot of isolations. Denver also isn't a great defensive team, so look for Philadelphia to eclipse 100 points rather easily here. Last time out the Nuggets combined for 253 points in their game against the Timberwolves and that sets up a very profitable spot, as the OVER is 10-1 in Denver's last 11 games after a contest with a combined score of 245 or more points. Take the OVER! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Eastern Illinois +3.5 v. Austin Peay | 54-70 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 56 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Eastern Illinois + I like the value here with the Panthers catching points against the Governors. While Austin Peay has the better overall record, both teams have losing records and I just don't see a lot that separates these teams. The big key here is the history of this series and the struggles of the home team. The road team has gone an impressive 20-8 ATS in the last 28 meetings in the series and the underdog has covered 11 of the last 12. Take Eastern Illinois! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Fairfield +3 v. Manhattan | 58-61 | Push | 0 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Vegas ATS NO BRAINER on Fairfield + I really like the value here with the Stags as an underdog against Manhattan. Fairfield was the consensus favorite to win the MAAC this season, as they returned 4 starters, including a legit conference of the year candidate in senior guard Tyler Nelson. While the Stags have started out just 6-6, the schedule has been tough, as they have faced off against the likes of Purdue and Houston and had just 5 home games. All that experience playing away from home will only help them here. Manhattan is just 5-7, despite playing a much softer schedule than Fairfield. That was with the Jaspers starting the year out 2-0. They have won just 3 times in their last 7 games and are simply outclassed here. Note that last year Fairfield dominated both meetings, winning 78-49 at home and 97-79 at Manhattan (3-point dog in that one as well). The Stags are also 23-9 ATS in their last 32 road games after playing 2 straight as a home favorite and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 vs a team with a winning record. Take Fairfield! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Eastern Kentucky +8 v. Tennessee Tech | 69-77 | Push | 0 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Eastern Kentucky + I like the value here with the Colonels as a big road dog against the Eagles. Eastern Kentucky has started out just 6-8, but have played a tough schedule with true road games against the likes of Ole Miss, Western Kentucky, Oregon State, Northern Kentucky, Marshall and Jacksonville State. They were double-digit dogs in each of those games and are 6-2 against the rest of their schedule. Tennessee Tech is a quality team, but are simply getting too much respect here. Not a big surprise as the Eagles have been overvalued quite a bit of late. In their last 6 games Tennessee Tech is 0-5-1 ATS. It's also worth noting that the Colonels returned 4 starters from last year's team, which swept the season season series against the Eagles, which included a 79-66 win at Tennessee Tech as a 4-point dog. Take Eastern Kentucky! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Towson +4 v. College of Charleston | 62-73 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Towson + I like the value here with the Tigers catching what I feel is too many pints against the Cougars. Towson is simply undervalued here off back-to-back road losses to Pittsburgh and Oakland, while Charleston is overvalued coming in having won 7 of their last 8. This is a big time revenge game for the Tigers, who were knocked out of last year's CAA Tournament by the Cougars. These two teams have played a very similar strength of schedule to this point. Defensively both teams have played well, but the edge here goes to Towson on the offensive side of the ball. The Tigers are averaging 75.5 ppg vs teams that allow 74.2 ppg, while the Cougars are scoring just 69.5 ppg vs teams that allow 74 ppg. Charleston covered last time out and that's a good sign to go against them, as the Cougars are just 9-20 ATS in their last 29 off a cover. Tigers are 10-4-2 ATS last 16 games overall and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Take Towson! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Drexel +5.5 v. Elon | Top | 75-90 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
5* NCAAB *CAA* GAME OF THE MONTH on Drexel + I like the value here with the Dragons catching a decent number here on the road against the Phoenix. Drexel comes in at just 6-7, but I've liked what I've seen from this team in non-conference play. They beat Houston 84-80 on a neutral court as a 14-point dog and won at LaSalle as a 12-point dog. They also lost by just 3-points in a true road game against Temple as a 16-point dog. Elon has started out 8-5, but most have their success has come against a soft schedule. The Phoenix did pull off an upset in their last game against Indiana State, but are just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following a SU win. This is also Elon's first home game after playing 4 straight on the road and they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games after playing 3 or more consecutive road games. It's also worth noting that the road team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings and the Dragons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 trips to Elon. Take Drexel! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Hawks +11 v. Raptors | 98-111 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
3* NBA Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Hawks + I like the value here with Atlanta catching double-digits against the Raptors on Friday. Toronto has hit a bit of a rough patch, as they have dropped 2 straight, including a loss at Dallas as a 5.5-point favorite. The Hawks have won their last two and have been a covering machine of late. Atlanta has covered 3 straight and 11 of their last 14. It's also worth pointing that the Hawks have been a great team to back away from home against high-scoring teams like the Raptors. Atlanta is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams that are scoring 110 or more points/game. We also have a strong system in play based on the Raptors 112-78 win at Atlanta the last time these two teams played. Underdogs that are revenging a home loss of 10 or more, who are coming off an upset win as a dog are 82-44 (65%) against the spread over the last 5 seasons. Take Atlanta! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Rider +1.5 v. Canisius | Top | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
5* NCAAB *MAAC* GAME OF THE MONTH on Rider + I love the value here with the Broncs as a short road dog against the Golden Griffins. Rider has been a pleasant surprise early on and come in off an impressive 71-70 win at Penn State as a 15-point dog. This is also a team that won at George Washington as a 5.5-point dog and only lost by 4 on the road against Providence as a 14-point dog. Canisius' strength of schedule doesn't even come close to comparing to the Broncs. The biggest dog the Golden Griffins have been all season is a 9.5-point dog at Buffalo. I just don't see Canisius being able to keep pace offensively in this one. Rider is averaging 82 ppg and scoring roughly 10 ppg more than what their opponents allow. The Griffins average just 70.8 ppg and are scoring less than what their opponents allow. I think Canisius is getting some respect here with this line because they come in off a 14-point win at Robert Morris, but the Griffins are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 home games off a road win by 10 or more points. Take Rider! |
|||||||
12-28-17 | San Francisco +5 v. San Diego | 63-73 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 19 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on San Francisco + I like the value here with the Dons catching points against the Toreros tonight. San Francisco returned just about everyone from last year's 20-win team and could push into the Top 3 of the WCC this season. San Diego also brings a lot back from last year, but they went just 13-18 and still have a ton of ground to make up to catch the top teams in this conference. I think we are getting value here because of the Toreros hot start, as they posted a 9-3 record in non-confernce, while the Dons went just 8-5. However, I've been a lot more impressed with San Francisco, who has played the tougher schedule. Last time out the Dons showed just how good they can be with a 66-64 upset win over Nevada as a 12.5-point dog and that Nevada team is a legit NCAA Tournament team. They also lost by just 18 against an elite Arizona State team on the road. I'll take the points here, but I fully expect the Dons to win this game outright. Take San Francisco! |
|||||||
12-28-17 | SIU-Edwardsville +7 v. Austin Peay | 58-78 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 19 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Edwardsville + I like the value here with the Cougars catching big number against the Governors in Thursday's college hoops action. These two teams were both picked to finish middle of the pack in the Ohio Valley and so far there's not a lot that has separated these two teams early on. SIU-Edwardsville is 4-7, while Austin Peay is 5-7 and both teams have played roughly the same strength of schedule to this point. I believe we are getting value here with the Cougars based on how these two teams performed against the spread in non-conference. Edwardsville went a miserable 1-8 ATS in their 9 lined games, while Austin Peay posted a 6-2 ATS mark in their 8 line games. History is definitely on the Cougars side in this one, as the road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and the underdog has gone 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take SIU-Edwardsville! |
|||||||
12-28-17 | St. Peter's +2.5 v. Fairfield | 61-70 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on St. Peter's + I like the value here with the Peacocks at basically a pick'em on the road against the Stags. This line is begging for you to take Fairfield, who many had pegged as the top team coming into the season in the MAAC, but the Stags haven't been all that impressive early on. Fairfield went just 5-6 in non-conference play and are just 3-6 over their last 9 games, which includes a 84-92 loss to Jacksonville as a 9-point favorite. St. Peter's went 6-5 carrying over some of that momentum that saw them close out last year on a 11-1 run in route to winning the CIT postseason title. The Peacocks have won 2 straight and 5 of 7 overall. I think we saw a glimpse of the potential of this team when they went on the road early and only lost by 9 as a 18-point dog to Northwester. Peacocks have been an excellent team to back away from home against quality opponents, as they are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games vs a team with a winning home record. They are also 16-5 ATS in their last 21 conference games. Take St. Peter's! |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Mavs v. Pacers -6 | 98-94 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
3* NBA Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Pacers - I like the value here with Indiana laying what I feel is a short number at home against the Mavericks. The Pacers simply didn't have it last night in Detroit, as they got annihilated 107-83. The good news for Indiana is the lopsided score allowed them to limit their starters minutes, as not a single one of the five starters played more than 26 minutes. That leaves little doubt in my mind that we are going to get a big time effort here from the Pacers at home. Dallas on the other hand comes in off an impressive 98-93 home win over the Raptors as a 6-point dog. I just think it's asking a lot of this team to bounce back from that huge victory with another big effort on the road playing on no rest. Keep in mind the Mavericks haven't won back-to-back games since Thanksgiving and are a miserable 2-14 on the road this season. Pacers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs a bad team like Dallas, who has won fewer than 40% of their games and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 off a SU loss by more than 10 points. Take Indiana! |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Florida Gulf Coast v. Rhode Island -11.5 | 60-80 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Rhode Island - I got no problem laying the big number here with the Rams at home against Florida Gulf Coast. Rhode Island is one of the better teams that no one knows about. They brought back 4 seniors, including a legit NBA talent in guard E.C. Matthews. Their only 3 losses have come against the likes of Nevada, Virginia and Alabama and two of those were without Matthews, who missed 6 games before returning for the last two. With him on the floor, the Rams should have little to no problem winning here by 15+ points. The Eagles are just 7-7 and come in having gone just 1-5 in their last 6 games. Last time out they were able to keep it within 10 at Wichita State as a 16.5-point dog and I believe that's created some line value here. Take Rhode Island! |
|||||||
12-26-17 | Pacers v. Pistons UNDER 208 | 83-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under TOTAL DOMINATOR on Pistons UNDER I think we are getting some great value here with the UNDER in Tuesday's NBA action that has two Central Division rivals going at it. Usually these division games are spread over the season, but that's not the case with these two teams. This will actually be the 4th and final meeting between these two sides this season. That familiarity with one another will give the edge to the defenses. It's also worth noting that each of the last two meetings both saw fewer than 208 points. Indiana comes in allowing 106.9 ppg on the season and 107.0 ppg on the road, but are only giving up 101.4 ppg against division opponents. I think they can slow down a struggling Detroit offense that has shot 44% or worse from the field in 9 of their last 11 games. Pistons defense has been playing well of late, as the additions of Reggie Bullock and Anthony Tolliver in the starting lineup have given them a boost on that side. We should also get a big effort here from Detroit, as they will have fresh legs playing only their 2nd game in the last 6 days. UNDER is 27-11 in the pacers last 38 against a team with a winning record, 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 5-0 in their last 5 division games. UNDER is also 4-0 in the Pistons last 4 at home vs a team with a winning road record and 4-0-1 in their last 5 vs a division opponent. Take the UNDER! |

12-25-17 | 76ers v. Knicks UNDER 209 | 105-98 | Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
4* NBA Over/Under Total NO BRAINER on Knicks UNDER These Christmas NBA games have a strong tendency to go UNDER the totals set by the books, as the intensity level gets turned up a notch on the defensive side of the ball. I think that's exactly what we have here in the first game on the board with the 76ers and Knicks. These are two teams that are better defensively than they get credit for and we should see the offenses struggle here with such an early start time. UNDER is 10-1 in the Knicks last 11 home games off a road cover where they lost outright as an underdog, UNDER is also 7-3 in the Knicks last 10 home games overall. UNDER is also 6-1 in the 76ers last 7 off a SU loss by more than 10 points and 7-2 in their last 9 vs a team with a winning record. Take UNDER! |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Long Beach State v. Colorado State -7.5 | 66-68 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Colorado State - I like the value we are getting here with the Rams laying single-digits at home against the 49ers. While Colorado State is just 6-6, a big reason for that is their schedule, which has had them go up against the likes of FSU, Colorado, Arkansas and Oregon. The big key here is that all 6 of their losses have either come on a neutral site or in a true road game, as they are a perfect 6-0 at home. Long Beach State comes in at 5-9 and while they too have played a tough schedule, they are simply not on the same level as the Rams. The 49ers have really struggled on the road, where they are 3-9 and getting outscored by 13.7 ppg. Last time out Long Beach State was embarrassed in a 42-point (60-102) loss at Michigan State and that was on Thursday, so they are playing their 2nd big road game in just 3 days in the thin air of Colorado. On top of that, the 49ers are just 3-12 ATS in their last 15 road games off a loss. Take Colorado State! |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Texas v. Alabama -3 | 66-50 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Alabama - I like the value here with the Crimson Tide laying a short number against the Longhorns. While not a true home game for Alabama, it's going to certainly feel like it, as this game is being played just a short drive from their campus in Birmingham at Legacy Arena. Both teams are off to a solid 8-3 start, but I've really liked what I have seen from this Crimson Tide team. They can really get after you both inside and out on the offensive side of the ball and that balance has them averaging just under 80 ppg. Texas doesn't punch near the fire-power on offense and I think that with this being on the road the Longhorns are going to struggle to keep pace. Note this is not a spot where Texas has fared well. The Longhorns are just 10-27 in their last 37 neutral court games as a dog of 6-points or less. They are also just 1-8 ATS in their last 9 when they come in having won 2 of their last 3 and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 away from home after two straight games that went under the total. Take Alabama! |

12-22-17 | Clippers v. Rockets OVER 218.5 | 128-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
4* NBA Over/Under Total NO BRAINER on Rockets OVER Houston will be without Chris Paul and Clint Cappella tonight and I think it's resulted in some great value here on the OVER in their showdown tonight with the Clippers. The Rockets still have James Harden and are still going to play their same style of jacking up 3-pointers left and right. This team is also use to playing without Paul, so I don't think it's going to affect their scoring output as much as some might think. Keep in mind this is a team that averages 116 ppg at home and will be facing a Clippers team that has been decimated with injuries and just gave up 109 in their last road game against the Spurs. Big key here is I don't think the Rockets are going to offer a ton of resistance on the defensive end. Paul is a big spark plug on that side of the ball and Cappella is their best rim protector. Not to mention that Houston likely doesn't want to go all out with their huge showdown against at OKC looming next on Christmas Day. OVER is 21-9 in the Clippers last 30 road games when they are playing their 6th or more game in a 10 day span and 22-8 in their last 30 when they come in having lost 2 of their last 3. Take the OVER! |

12-21-17 | Gonzaga -5 v. San Diego State | Top | 70-72 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 56 m | Show |
5* NCAAB Late Night GAME OF THE MONTH on Gonzaga - I like the value here with the Bulldogs as a short road favorite against the Aztecs on Thursday. San Diego State has been a great program for a long-time, but took a big step back last year in the first season without Steve Fisher at the helm. While they are off to a respectable 7-3 start a big reason for that has been the schedule. They do have a win over Georgia on a neutral court, but they also lost by 22 at Arizona State, by 7 on a neutral court to Washington State and most recently a 62-63 loss at home to Cal as a 16.5-point favorite. Gonzaga is loaded once again and have started out 10-2 with their only losses coming against big time powers in Florida and Villanova. While the home court edge might help the Aztecs make this competitive early, I look for the Bulldogs to pull away and win this one comfortably. Take Gonzaga! |

4* NCAAB Situational ATS HEAVY HITTER on Buffalo + I like the value here with the Bulls as a double-digit dog against the Aggies. Buffalo comes in with a respectable 7-4 record and has shown well against the two big time opponents they have played. The Bulls lost by just 6-points in a neutral site game against Cincinnati as a 16-point dog and last time out they lost by just 7 as a 10.5-point dog in a true road game at Syracuse. While Texas A&M is off to an impressive 10-1 start and clearly the better team, I think this is a clear letdown spot for the Aggies, who are playing their final non-conference game and have a long 8-day layoff before starting SEC play. Another big factor here is the home court edge isn't as strong this time of year, as you not only have people busy with the holidays, but the majority of the students aren't on campus over Christmas break. I think it's enough to allow the Bulls to keep this a lot closer than expected. Take Buffalo! |

12-21-17 | Southern Miss +22.5 v. Florida State | 45-98 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 4 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Southern Miss + I like the value here with the Golden Eagles as a massive road underdog against the Seminoles on Thursday afternoon. I just don't think we are going to see an all that motivated Florida State team here, as this is their final non-conference matchup before getting 9-days off. You also have to keep in mind that with students off for Christmas break and this not being a big time opponent, they aren't going to have that same home court edge. Southern Miss isn't on the Seminoles level, but do come in having won 4 straight, including an impressive 89-71 win over Troy as a 3-point underdog. They also showed well earlier this season in a true road game at Michigan, losing by just 14 as a 24 points dog. The big thing I like here with the Golden Eagles is they get after it defensively, as they are only giving up 64.9 ppg. Look for a lot closer game than the books are expecting. Take Southern Miss! |

12-20-17 | Northwestern State v. Utah -23 | 62-84 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on Utah - I like the value here with the Utes at home against the Demons from Northwestern State. Utah is a bit undervalued right now, as they come in off a 12-point loss at BYU and have lost 2 of their last 3 overall. They also are expected to be without Donnie Tillman. Even without Tillman, this team should have no problem winning here by 25+ points over the Demons, who are in a brutal spot here playing on the road with no rest after last night's ugly 68-105 loss at Oklahoma, where the Sooners shot 59% from the field. This is also a team that lost by 46 to both Texas and SMU. Take Utah! |

12-20-17 | Pacers v. Hawks +4.5 | 105-95 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational UNDERVALUED UNDERDOG on Hawks + The betting public is all over the Pacers here as a short road favorite against the Hawks, but I like Atlanta to not only cover but win this game outright. The Hawks come in off an impressive 110-104 win at home over the Heat last time out as a 1.5-point favorite and are now 8-2 ATS over their last 10 games, as they continue to get undervalued by the books. Indiana is a quality team, but have lost 3 of their last 4 and last time out suffered a crushing 111-112 loss at home to the Celtics, where they basically gave the game away. Now they are on the road playing what will be their 3rd game in 4 days in a major letdown spot. Take Atlanta! |

12-20-17 | Wagner v. Seton Hall -19.5 | 68-89 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Seton Hall - I don't think the books have set the bar high enough here. Seton Hall is coming in off an upset loss at Rutgers as a 8.5-point favorite and are going to be highly motivated to get back on track. That was just the second loss of the season for the Pirates. The first came in a heartbreaking 74-75 neutral court loss to Rhode Island and they came back in their next game and rolled Vanderbilt 72-59 as a 6.5-point favorite. I don't think it's going to take a lot here for Seton Hall to win by 20+ points, as this is not nearly as good a Wagner team as their 7-2 record would suggest. The Seahawks haven't played a lot of top teams. The one step up game they had was road contest at Missouri, which they lost by 44-points as a similar 19.5-point dog to what we see them at here. I expect a similar outcome here with this one well in hand early. Take Seton Hall! |

12-19-17 | Cavs -2 v. Bucks | 116-119 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 60 m | Show | |
3* NBA Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Cavs - This is simply too good a price to pass up on Cleveland. The Cavs have lost just once in their last 19 games, as they are on ridiculous 18-1 run. With this being basically a pick'em with the Cavs laying less than 3, I think you have to roll the dice with Cleveland. They have already beat the Bucks twice this season, including a 116-97 win in their previous visit to Milwaukee. The Bucks are also not playing great basketball right now. They have lost 3 straight and in their last home game they lost outright 109-115 to the Bulls as a 8.5-point favorite. I think a big key here is that this game is the only one being nationally televised on NBA TV and that should be enough motivation for LeBron and company to get the win. Take Cleveland! |

12-19-17 | Buffalo +10.5 v. Syracuse | 74-81 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Buffalo + I like the value here with the Bulls as a double-digit dog against the Orange. While not a huge rivalry, these are two teams from the same state of New York. I think that's a big motivator edge here for Buffalo, who would love nothing more than to upset Syracuse on their home floor. As for the Orange, I don't think they are getting anywhere close to as excited about playing this game and I actually think they could be in for a letdown after their big overtime win on the road over Georgetown on Saturday. Keep in mind this is a Bulls team that is expected to compete for the MAC title. They have a big-time play-maker in CJ Massinburg, who is averaging 20 ppg and 8 rpg. He's not the only scoring threat, as they have 4 active players that are averaging in double-figures. They could also be adding another big weapon in Missouri transfer Wes Clark, who hasn't been eligible to this point because of transfer rules. Either way, I think the Bulls give the Orange a scare here and keep this well within the number. Take Buffalo! |

12-18-17 | Quinnipiac +11.5 v. Drexel | 71-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Quinnipiac + I like the value here with the Bobcats as a decently priced road dog against the Dragons. While Quinnipiac is just 3-7 and Drexel comes in at 5-6, the Bobcats have played the tougher schedule up to this point and I simply don't see as big a game between these two teams as this line would suggest. The Dragons have been hit hard with injuries this year. Only 4 players have played in all 11 games this season and they have 4 guys out tonight. Bobcats have also been great in this spot, going 5-1-2 ATS in their last 8 road games vs a team with a winning home record. At the same time, the Dragons are a mere 2-11 ATS in their last 13 against a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games, 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 off a loss and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games following 3 straight on the road. Take Quinnipiac! |

12-18-17 | Nebraska-Omaha v. Kansas -31.5 | 64-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Kansas - It's been a rough stretch here for the Jayhawks who followed up back-to-back losses against Washington and Arizona State with a mere 1-point win on the road over Nebraska as a 12-point favorite. It's still not enough to keep me from laying this big number here with Kansas at home against the Mavericks. Winning my more than this spread at home wouldn't be out of the ordinary for the Jayhawks. They have a 38-point win at home over Toledo, 43-point win over Oakland, 43-point win over Texas Southern, 34-point win over South Dakota St and 36-point win over Tennessee State. Nebraskas-Omaha comes in off back-to-back wins, but are not a good team. Earlier this season they lost by 33-points at TCU. With the Jayhawks pissed off with their recent play, I think the Mavericks are in for an absolute beating at Allen Fieldhouse tonight. Take Kansas! |

12-17-17 | Pacers v. Nets UNDER 217 | 109-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
4* NBA Over/Under Total NO BRAINER on Nets UNDER I like the value here with the UNDER in Sunday's NBA action that has the Nets hosting the Pacers. These two teams have been playing much better defensively here of late. Brooklyn is allowing 111 ppg on the season, but are only giving up just 105 ppg over their last 5. Indiana is only giving up 103.6 ppg over their last 5. UNDER is 6-1 in the Nets last 7 games and 4-1 in the Pacers last 5. Indiana has also scored less than 100 in two straight, while Brooklyn is only averaging 96.6 ppg over their last 5. Take the UNDER! |

12-16-17 | Ohio v. Marshall -2.5 | 96-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Marshall - I like the value here with Marshall as a short home favorite against the Bobcats. The Thundering Herd come in having won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6. The most recent was an impressive 93-87 win at Toledo as a 5-point dog. As for Ohio, they are just 5-4 overall and have struggled away from home against better competition. Last time they were on the road was at Maryland on 12/7 and they lost by 25. Bobcats are giving up a staggering 85.2 ppg on the road and that's going to be a problem here against Marshall, as they come in averaging 89.3 ppg. Thundering Herd are 25-13 ATS in their last 38 as a favorite, 10-2 in their last 12 after playing a game as a road underdog and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 when playing only their 2nd game in 8 days. Take Marshall! |

12-16-17 | Clemson v. Florida -5 | 71-69 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Florida - I like the value here with the Gators laying a short number against Clemson on Saturday. While this is technically a neutral site game, it's going to feel like a home game for Florida, as it's being played in their home state at the BB&T Center. The Gators were able to right the ship after losing 3 straight with a 66-60 win over Cincinnati last time out. I look for this team to carry over that momentum here against the Tigers. Gators are a solid 35-19 ATS in their last 54 games away from home when they come in having failed to cover 3 of their last 4 and are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 non-conference games. Clemson on the other hand is a mere 4-12-2 ATS in their last 18 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Take Florida! |

12-16-17 | Northern Iowa +2.5 v. Iowa State | Top | 65-76 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
5* NCAAB Non-Conf GAME OF THE YEAR on Northern Iowa + I absolutely love the value here with UNI as a dog in Saturday's neutral site showdown against in-state rival ISU. My power rankings show that the Panthers should be the ones favored in this contest. The big reason they aren't is the fact that the Cyclones come in having won 7 straight, but the best wins for ISU are a neutral site game against Boise State and a home win over Iowa. The Cyclones are also way down this year, as they lost a ton from last year's team and are likely headed for a finish near the basement of the loaded Big 12. UNI is an experienced team that has proven itself against some of the big boys early. The Panthers are 8-2 with the two losses coming away from home against the likes of UNC and Villanova. They also have some impressive wins, knocking off the likes of SMU, NC State and UNLV. Panthers are 10-1 ATS in their last 12 against the Big, while ISU is a mere 2-8 ATS in their last 10 against the Missouri Vally. Panthers are also 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games played on a neutral site and 21-9-1 ATS in their last 31 off a win. Take Northern Iowa! |

12-15-17 | Jazz v. Celtics -5.5 | Top | 107-95 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
4* NBA Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Celtics - After going on an absolute tear, Boston has come down to earth a little bit here of late, as they are just 2-2 SU in their last 4 and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5. I think it's led to a great price to back the Celtics at home here against the Jazz. Utah has been up and down this season, but are not playing well right now. The Jazz have lost 4 straight with the most recent being a 100-103 loss at Chicago. Prior to that they lost by double-digits to both the Bucks and Rockets. This is now their 3rd straight on the road and while Boston is a legit opponent, I think upcoming games against the Cavs and Rockets are ones they will be more excited for. Celtics have also owned bad road teams at home, going 9-2-2 ATS in their last 13 home games against a team with a losing road record. They are also 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 off a straight up win. Take Boston! |

12-15-17 | Thunder v. 76ers OVER 212 | 119-117 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
4* NBA Over/Under Total NO BRAINER on Sixers OVER I like the value here with the OVER in Friday's NBA action that has the 76ers hosting the Thunder. Philadelphia comes in off an impressive 118-112 road win over the Timberwolves. The 76ers are now averaging 108.6 ppg, while allowing 108.9 ppg. In Philadelphia's last 5 games, the average final combined score has been 223 points. OKC has had all kinds of problems offensively, but I don't think this 76ers defense is going to be good enough to slow them down. I also think we don't see the best from the Thunder defensively off that emotional game on Wednesday at the Pacers, where Paul George made his return to Indiana. Look for these two teams to light up the nets tonight on ESPN. Take the OVER! |

12-15-17 | Clippers v. Wizards UNDER 210 | 91-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under Total ANNIHILATOR on Clippers UNDER I like the value here with the UNDER in Friday's NBA action between the Clippers and Wizards. The Clippers just can't seem to stay healthy. Going into tonight's game they will be without Patrick Beverley, Blake Griffin, Danilo Gallinari and Austin Rivers. They will be taking on a Wizards team that has been playing well defensively, as they are only giving up just 98.8 ppg over their last 5, while also holding their opponents to just 43% from the field. As for the Wizards, they are coming off a couple of poor showings offensively. First they only managed 98 on the road against the Nets and then in John Wall's return against Memphis, they only finished with 93. Clippers have held each of their last 2 opponents to 95 or less and really have no choice be to try and slow the game way down to stay competitive. I think these two will be lucky to hit 200. Give me the UNDER! |

12-14-17 | Mavs v. Warriors OVER 211 | 97-112 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 1 m | Show | |
4* NBA Over/Under Total NO BRAINER on Warriors OVER I like the value here with the OVER in Thursday's NBA action that has the Warriors hosting the Mavericks. Golden State is still without Steph Curry and aren't expected to have Draymond Green, Zaza Pachulia or Nick Young for this one. I think those players not being available is playing into this short number on the total. The Warriors still have two prolific scorers in Durant and Thompson. I also think the loss of Green hurts them defensively, especially with Pachulia also out. They will have no choice but to play small. Dallas isn't a great offensive team, but a big part of why they don't score a ton is they like to play at a slow pace. They will have no choice here but to play with the Warriors tempo on the road and I think we see a slightly higher scoring output from them here. OVER is 13-6 in the Warriors last 19 vs teams from the Western Conference and a perfect 4-0 in their last 4 against a bad team like Dallas that has won fewer than 40% of their games. Take the OVER! |

12-13-17 | Hornets v. Rockets OVER 220 | Top | 96-108 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 10 m | Show |
5* NBA Over/Under TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Rockets OVER I just don't think the books have set the bar high enough for tonight's total with the Rockets and Hornets. Houston is playing out of their minds right now. The Rockets are 21-4 through their first 25 games and have not lost a game with Chris Paul in the lineup. They are doing it behind an offense that averages 115 ppg, shoots 47% from the field (48% at home) and averages 16 made 3-pointers per game. They should have their way here against the Hornets, who come in allowing 107.4 ppg on the road. I think we see Houston eclipse 120 and that would mean all we need out of Charlotte is for them to score a measly 100 points. I think give us more than that. The Hornets are coming off a 116 point showing at OKC on Monday, where they hit 53% from the field. I also think we don't see a big effort here from Houston defensively off a big come from behind win over the Pelicans on Monday and a huge game against the Spurs on deck Friday. Take the OVER! |

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Grand Canyon + I like the value here with the Antelopes as a double-digit dog against the Broncos. Most people haven't even heard of Grand Canyon and will just assume they aren't any good, but this is a legit threat to make the NCAA Tournament, as they are considered the team to beat in the WAC. They are off to a strong 7-2 start and are locking down teams on the defensive side of the ball, giving up just 59 ppg (nearly 11 points less per game than what their opponents average). Boise is averaging 78 ppg, but that's come against teams that on average allow 75.7 ppg. I'm not saying the Antelopes will win this game outright, but it's not out of the question. Take Grand Canyon! |

3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Ark-Little Rock + I like the value here we are catching with the Trojans as a double-digit dog against the Braves. Arkansas-Little Rock comes in at just 2-7 while Bradley is sitting at 7-2 with a perfect 5-0 record at home. Most will just lay the points here with the Braves, but I think this is going to be a tough spot for them to play well. That's because Bradley hasn't played since 12/3 and this will be just their 3rd game in the last 18 days. It's just not the same practicing as it is playing in real games and I think we see a rusty Braves squad here, especially with the Trojans not being a team to get all that excited to play. Take Arkansas-Little Rock! |

12-12-17 | Michigan v. Texas -5 | 59-52 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Texas - I like the value here with the Longhorns laying what I feel is a short number here at home against the Wolverines. Michigan comes in with a respectable 8-3 record, but I haven't been all that impressed with this team. Last time out they got an extremely fortunate win and cover at home against UCLA, as they overcame a 15-point deficit to beat the Bruins 78-69 as a 7-point favorite in overtime. Wolverines have played 2 true road games and neither went well, as they lost by 15 at UNC and by 9 at Ohio State. Texas has started out 6-2 and are a team I think is flying under the radar in 2017. The Longhorns went just 11-22 in the first year under Shaka Smart. They are a vastly improved team and we have already seen evidence of that. Texas' only two losses are neutral site games against Duke and Gonzaga, who are both ranked in the Top 15. Keep in mind they had the Blue Devils on the ropes, as they blew a 16-point lead in an overtime loss. I not only think the Longhorns win here, but I could see this turning into a blowout. Take Texas! |

12-12-17 | Wizards -3.5 v. Nets | 98-103 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
4* NBA Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Wizards - I like the value here with Washington as a short road favorite against the Nets. The Wizards have played better than expected while John Wall has been sidelined and I look for them to have no problem here putting away Brooklyn. One of the reasons Washington has continued to play so well is they are shooting lights out. They finished each of their last two games hitting 50% from the field. While the Wizards are clicking offensively, the Nets are struggling with their shot. Brooklyn only managed 89 points on 41% shooting in their last game against the Heat and have hit 44% or worse from the field in 3 of their last 4 overall. Wizards are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100+ points and 4-1 in their last 5 off a SU loss. Nets are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 off a double-digit loss at home and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 at home against a team with a winning road record. Take Washington! |

5* NCAAB Heavy Hitter GAME OF THE MONTH on Charleston Southern - I really like the value here with the Bucs as a short road favorite against the Bulldogs. Charleston Southern comes in having won 4 of their last 5, including a road win at Illinois State. South Carolina State is projected to finish near the bottom of the MEAC and are off to a poor 2-9 start with their only wins coming against the likes of Morris College and Brevard College. Last time out they lost to Furman by 29 points. This is simply a much bigger mismatch than the books are suggesting with this line. Take Charleston Southern! |

12-11-17 | Celtics v. Bulls +7.5 | 85-108 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Bulls + I like the value here with Chicago catching a decent number here at home against the Celtics. The Bulls are a miserable 5-20 on the season and it's no surprise given the rebuild they are undergoing. The thing is, some key injuries kept them from being all that competitive early on. They have got quite a few of those guys back and are starting to form some chemistry. Chicago has won 2 straight and are playing with a ton of confidence. As good as Boston has been playing, it won't be easy for the Celtics to take this Bulls team all that seriously. This also isn't a great spot for Boston, who just played in Detroit last night and will be playing their 3rd straight on the road in a span of just 4 days. Keep in mind that this is a team that gets their opponents best just about every time they take the floor. Wouldn't be shocked if the Bulls took control early and the Celtics found a way to win late. At the same time, I also wouldn't be surprised if Boston lost this game outright. Take Chicago! |

12-10-17 | Mavs v. Wolves OVER 207 | 92-97 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under Total DOMINATOR on Mavs OVER Books have set the bar too low for Sunday's total between the Mavs and Timberwolves. Dallas doesn't have great offensive numbers on the season, but are averaging 105.2 ppg over their last 5, which includes a 122-point outburst against the Nuggets. Minnesota's not a good defensive team, as they allow 107 ppg. The Wolves are a good offensive team and are averaging 109 ppg over their last 5. I think these two teams easily hit the 215 mark. Take the OVER! |

12-10-17 | Arizona State v. Kansas -11 | 95-85 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Kansas - I like this Arizona State team, but my money is on the Jayhawks to not only win but to win convincingly on Sunday. Kansas started to get a big head after their 7-0 start and simply didn't come to play in their last game, which they lost 65-74 to Washington at the Sprint Center as a 22-point favorite. I believe that loss will have the Jayhawks locked in for this one. The Sun Devils are a perfect 8-0 on the season, but have had a pretty easy schedule and the big key here is that this will be their first true road game of the season. Take Kansas! |

5* NCAAB Small Conf GAME OF THE MONTH on Western Illinois + I like the value here with the Leathernecks as a home dog against the Panthers. Western Illinois has been in this spot before, as they were just a 2-point home dog to IUPUI and they went onto to win that game outright 90-77. They also beat Eastern Illinois as a 4.5-point home dog. Milwaukee has started out 6-3, but this isn't a good team and are expected to finish near the basement of the Horizon League. Simply not the kind of team that should be laying points on the road against a quality team. The Leathernecks pack quite a punch offensively, as they come in averaging 76.6 ppg (83.2 at home), while shooting 51% from the field (54% at home). The Panthers haven't had a lot of success against teams like this, as they are a mere 5-14 ATS in their last 19 against a team that's shooting 45% or better from the field. Take Western Illinois! |

12-09-17 | Lakers +6 v. Hornets | 110-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational ATS HEAVY HITTER on Lakers + I think the books have made a big error here with Saturday's NBA line on the Lakers and Hornets. Los Angeles shouldn't be getting this many points, as it should be much closer to a pick'em given the circumstances. The Lakers have struggled, but come in off an impressive road win over a good 76ers team and I look for them to build off that with another good showing against Charlotte. Hornets are a perfect team to fade here. Not only are they not playing well, but they are in a terrible scheduling spot after last night's overtime game against the Bulls. All 5 of Charlotte's starters logged big minutes and they are a deep team at the moment, as they got a few key guys banged up. I look for the Hornets to struggle to keep up with the fast pace of the Lakers and wouldn't be shocked if this turned into a blowout. Take Los Angeles! |

12-09-17 | UCLA v. Michigan -4.5 | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Vegas ATS NO BRAINER on Michigan - I really like the value here with the Wolverines laying a short number at home against the Bruins. UCLA comes in at 7-1 and overvalued in my opinion. They have a couple of close wins over Georgia Tech and Wisconsin, but I don't think those wins are as impressive as people think. The best team they faced was Creighton and they lost by 11. Michigan isn't an elite team, but one that I think will give these Bruins a lot of problems. Big key here is that this will be UCLA's first true road game of the season. Wolverines are a perfect 5-0 at home, where they are outscoring their opponents by 20 ppg. I look for Michigan's defense to be the difference here. Wolverines are allowing just 63.3 ppg against teams that average nearly 77, while the Bruins are allowing 75.1 against teams that average 76. UCLA is also just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 off a cover and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs a team that's won more than 60% of their home games. Take Michigan! |

12-08-17 | Oklahoma v. USC -1.5 | 85-83 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 43 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on USC - I think we are getting the Trojans at a great price here in basically a pick'em against the Sooners. While this game is technically being played on a neutral court at the Staples Center in LA, I expect it to feel like a home game with how close it is to USC's campus. On top of that, I think the Trojans are the far superior team in this matchup. Oklahoma comes in at 6-1 and a lot of people are taking notice of this team because of the play of freshman Trae Young, who leads the nation at 28.7 ppg and is 3rd in assists at 8.7 apg. I just think the Sooners rely too much on Young and it's going to be hard for them to compete with a loaded USC team that is strong top to bottom. Not to mention the Trojans will be playing with a chip on their shoulder after losing their last two. Nothing to be ashamed about with those two defeats, as one was against Texas A&M and the other a true road game at SMU. Trojans bounce back in a big way here. Take USC! |

12-08-17 | Raptors -6 v. Grizzlies | 116-107 | Win | 100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Toronto I like the value here with the Raptors laying what I feel is a short number on the road against the Grizzlies. Toronto is a team that I think is flying under the radar right now. The Raptors have won 4 straight and are 10-3 in their last 13, yet no one is talking about them. They have been especially good on offense here of late, scoring 120 or more points in 3 straight games. I just don't see the Grizzlies being able to keep pace. Memphis has scored more than 95 points just once in their last 10 games and are a mere 1-12 over their last 13. The Grizzlies deserve to be a much bigger dog here, even with this game on their home court. Memphis is just 13-24 ATS in their last 37 against the Eastern Conference and a mere 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games off a loss. Raptors are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 off a win more than 10 points and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games vs a team with a losing home record. Take Toronto! |

12-07-17 | Eastern Washington v. San Francisco -7 | 71-81 | Win | 100 | 15 h 1 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on San Fran I like the value here with Dons at home against a struggling Eastern Washington team. The Eagles have lost 4 of 5, with the most recent being a 19-point loss at Seattle. One of the reasons Eastern Washington is hitting a wall here is they have been on the road since they opened the season at home against Walla Walla. Since that game they have played 7 straight on the road, with 5 of those being true road games. San Francisco has won 4 of their last 6 and are fresh off a win over Central Arkansas at home. Unlike the Eagles, the Dons have enjoyed playing the majority of their games at home, as they have had just 1 game on the road. The Dons have been a great bet against bad teams, as they are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. Take San Francisco! |

12-07-17 | Lakers +7.5 v. 76ers | 107-104 | Win | 100 | 13 h 18 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Lakers + I'll go against the public here and back the Lakers as a decently priced dog here in Thursday's TNT showdown with the 76ers. LA has lost 5 straight, but it's been a brutal stretch where 3 of the 5 were on the road and the two home games were against the likes of the Warriors and Rockets. I think it has the Lakers way undervalued here against Philadelphia. At the same time, the public is fully on board with this 76ers team now and are now way overvalued because of it. These two teams played in LA about a month ago. While the 76ers won that game, it was a mere 6-point win and that was with the Lakers shooting a horrible 38.5% from the field and Philadelphia hitting on 49% of their attempts. I think that we get a big enough effort here from LA to give the 76ers a scare and keep this within the number. Last time out Philadelphia lost 101-115 at home to a bad Suns team and the 76ers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home. Take Los Angeles! |

12-06-17 | Pacific +5.5 v. UC-Davis | Top | 67-71 | Win | 100 | 17 h 58 m | Show |
5* NCAAB Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Pacific + I love the value here with the Tigers as a decently priced dog against the Aggies. Pacific went just 11-22 last year in the first season under head coach Damon Stoudamire. This should be a much improved team in 2017 and they are off to a strong 5-4 start and come in having won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6 overall. The Tigers did lose to UC Davis at home in their second game of the season 58-62, which I think is playing into this line here. Pacific was a 4-point favorite in that game and based off that line you would only expect them to be around a 2-3 point dog on the road against the Aggies. I'll take my chances here with the Tigers getting their revenge, plus this is a great spot to fade UC Davis off their big upset win on the road over Washington State, where they won 81-67 as a 7.5-point dog. Tigers are 32-15 ATS in their last 47 when revenging a loss as a home favorite, while the Aggies are just 9-21 ATS in their last 30 home non-conference games. Take Pacific! |

12-06-17 | Heat v. Spurs -7.5 | 105-117 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show | |
4* NBA Sharp Action ATS NO BRAINER on Spurs - I'm backing San Antonio here at home against the Heat on Wednesday, as I look for the Spurs to win here by double-digits. San Antonio has gotten off to a respectable 16-8 start given they haven't played a single game with their best player in Kawhi Leonard. The big key here is the Spurs haven't missed Leonard at all on their home floor, where they are a dominant 11-2 SU and 8-4 ATS on the season. Miami came in with big expectations after their strong finish last year, but are just 11-12 and come in having lost 3 of their last 4. The Heat will also be without one of their best players in Hassan Whiteside. I just don't think Miami is a team that's capable of competing at less than full strength on the road against a team like the Spurs. Take San Antonio! |

12-06-17 | Brown v. Providence -20.5 | 72-77 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Providence - The Friars should have no problem here winning in blowout fashion over Brown at home. Providence comes in at 6-2 with their only two losses coming against a very good Minnesota team at home and a good Rhode Island team on the road. The most recent was that loss to the Rams and I think that will have the Friars not looking past the Bears and coming out with one of their best efforts. Brown simply isn't a good team. They were picked by most experts to finish near the basement of the Ivy League and are off to a 4-4 start with their only wins coming against J&W-Providence, Quinnipiac, Long Island and Bryant. They have ugly losses to to the likes of St Francis-NY, Stony Brook and Central Connecticut State. They also lost at Rhode Island by 24, which is a pretty clear sign of how big a gap we have here from the Friars to the Bears. Take Providence! |

12-06-17 | Buffalo v. Delaware +3.5 | 75-72 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Delaware + I like the value here with the Blue Hens as a home dog against the Bulls. Delaware comes in having lost their last 2, but are 4-4 on the season. The Blue Hens have experience with 4 returning starters, while also getting big time contributions from a couple of freshman in Kevin Anderson (12.3 ppg) and Ryan Allen (11.6 ppg). They are 2 of 5 players for Delaware that are averaging in double-figures. Buffalo is a team that a lot of people had picked to win the MAC East and I think it has them a bit overvalued here on the road. The Bulls just lost at home to St Bonaventure by 11 as a 1-point favorite. Buffalo lost their two best players and only returned 4 starters. That lack of experience will make it tough for them to win on the road here against a balanced Blue Hens offensive attack. Take Delaware! |

12-06-17 | Toledo v. Detroit +4 | 89-86 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Detroit + I like the value here with the Titans catching points at home against the Rockets. Detroit comes in off back-to-back losses at IUPU-Fort Wayne (82-91) and UCLA (73-106). That most recent 33 point loss to the Bruins has them way undervalued here against a pretty average Toledo team that is expected to finish near the bottom of the MAC standings. Playing at home is a big time advantage for the Titans, who are 2-0 at home this season, but what I really like is this teams ability to score the basketball. Detroit comes in averaging 91.1 ppg on 46% shooting from the field. They will be going up against a Toledo defense that is allowing 82.7 ppg and 53% shooting on the road. I just don't see the Rockets being able to keep pace and will call for the outright win here for the Titans. Take Detroit! |

12-05-17 | Wizards v. Blazers OVER 203 | 106-92 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 7 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under Total ANNIHILATOR on Wizards OVER I like the value here with the OVER in Tuesday's NBA action that has the Blazers hosting the Wizards. I just feel like we are getting value here due to Washington coming off an absolutely dreadful offensive showing in a 69-116 loss at Utah. That's a Jazz team that's playing some of their best basketball and they just got back their defensive ace in big man Rudy Gobert. Simply put the Wizards didn't have it last night. I think we see a completely different team take the court tonight off that embarrassing loss. Keep in mind they had scored 100+ without John Wall in each of their previous two games against the 76ers and Pistons and will be up against a Blazers team that is giving up 109.4 ppg over their last 5. While the offense should be better, I think we get another poor showing from the Washington defense, as they play in the 2nd game of a back-to-back and just let Utah shoot 57% from the field last night. Take the OVER! |

12-05-17 | Texas A&M v. Arizona +2 | Top | 64-67 | Win | 100 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
5* NCAAB Vegas Insider GAME OF THE MONTH on Arizona + Love the value here with Arizona catching points in Tuesday's game against Texas A&M. While this game is technically being played on a neutral site at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, it's going to feel like a home game for the Wildcats. I believe this line is a direct result of the Wildcats struggles in the Battle 4 Atlantis, where they lost 3 straight to NC State, SMU and Purdue. They have since responded with a 30+ point win over Long Beach State and a outright win on the road against a very good UNLV team. This is a statement game for Arizona and I think they get it done against the Aggies, who are getting a little too much respect here after their 7-0 start. The Wildcats have owned the SEC, going a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs teams from the SEC. On the flip side of this Texas A&M is a mere 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 vs the Pac-12. Take Arizona! |

12-05-17 | Montana State v. Central Michigan -2 | 48-75 | Win | 100 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Central Michigan - I like the value here with the Chippewas at basically a pick'em at home against the Bobcats. Central Michigan comes in at 6-1 and have won 5 straight. While the schedule hasn't been all that challenging for the Chippewas, they did show some of their potential in a mere 7-point loss at Michigan as a massive 22.5-point dog. Montana State is 6-3 but their two toughest games this season have come at Louisiana Tech and Fresno State and they lost both by double-digits. The Bobcats are also just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 against a team with a winning record, while the Chippewas are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs a team with a winning record. Take Central Michigan! |

12-04-17 | Bucks +6 v. Celtics | 100-111 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
3* NBA Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Bucks + I like the value here with Milwaukee catching a decent number here at Boston on Monday. The Celtics are a great team and playing as well as any team to start the year, I think this team is getting a little too much respect and are going to struggle here to put away a red-hot Bucks team that has won 3 straight and 8 of their last 11. Keep in mind that these two teams have already played twice this season and Milwaukee has played them tough both times, including a 108-100 win at Boston. That was back before they made a huge upgrade by trading for Eric Bledsoe. Celtics have been shooting lights out, but are just 3-14 ATS in their last 17 home games after 3 straight games where they made 50% or more of their shots. Take Milwaukee! |

12-04-17 | Appalachian State v. Western Carolina +3 | 71-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Western Carolina + I like the value here with the Catamounts as a home dog against the Mountaineers. Western Carolina is just 2-6 to start the year, but have played a brutal schedule with non-conference games against the likes of Clemson, Cincinnati and Minnesota (all on the road). I just don't feel this team is getting enough respect here at home against Appalachian State. The Catamounts returned all 5 starters from last year and will be playing only their second home game of the season. Mountaineers are just 1-4 on the road, where they are giving up a staggering 90.4 ppg. App State is also just 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games off a home win, while the Catamounts are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 at home after losing 3 of 4. Take Western Carolina! |

12-04-17 | Michigan v. Ohio State -2 | 62-71 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Ohio State - I like the value here with the Buckeyes laying a short number at home against the Wolverines. This Ohio State team is flying under the radar and I'll gladly back them at basically a pick'em here against what I think is an overrated Michigan team. The Buckeyes just won outright 83-58 at Wisconsin as a 7.5-point dog, which just goes to show how undervalued they are right now. Michigan was able to knock off Indiana by 14 at home, but this is simply not as good a team as they had a year ago and I think they struggle a lot on the road this season. We already have seen them lose on a neutral floor to a pretty bad LSU team and got blown out on the road by UNC. Take Ohio State! |

12-03-17 | Spurs +4.5 v. Thunder | 87-90 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Spurs + I like the value here with San Antonio as an underdog against the Thunder. The Spurs have are quietly off to another great start and come in having won 4 straight and are 10-3 over their last 13. OKC is still trying to figure things out and I just don't think they can be trusted here against an efficient Spurs offense. The Thunder are just 5-9 SU and 3-10-1 ATS over their last 14 games. I'll take the points here, but I think we see the Spurs win outright. Take San Antonio! |

12-02-17 | Arkansas -4 v. Houston | 65-91 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Arkansas - I really like this Razorbacks team this year, as they returned 6 seniors with playing experience and brought in an excellent freshman class. Arkansas has been led by senior Jaylen Barford to start, as he's scoring 20.8 ppg. Fellow senior Daryl Macon is right behind him at 16.3 ppg and freshman Daniel Gafford is averaging 12.8 ppg and 5.7 rpg and 1.5 bpg. The only loss so far for the Razorbacks is a loss to UNC. They have impressive wins over Oklahoma (92-83) and UConn (102-67). Houston is a good team and might flirt with making the NCAA Tournament, but I don't think that playing at home is going to be enough for the Cougars to keep this one competitive. Take Arkansas! |

12-02-17 | Syracuse +10.5 v. Kansas | 60-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Syracuse + I really like the value here with the Orange catching double-digits on a neutral floor against the Jayhawks. Kansas has started out 6-0 and are the No. 2 team in the country. I think they are way overvalued here against a good team. The only legit opponent they have played is Kentucky and they were lucky to leave with a 65-61 win. Syracuse is also 6-0, but because they haven't beat anyone, they aren't getting a ton of love just yet. I think the zone of the Orange can really cause some problems for the Jayhawks and keep this much closer than expected. Take Syracuse! |

12-02-17 | Hawks v. Nets OVER 219 | 114-102 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under Total ANNIHILATOR on Hawks OVER I don't think the books have set the total high enough for Saturday's NBA action that has two of the league's worst going at it when the Nets host the Hawks. Neither of these teams are any good defensively and I don't see them giving a big effort on that side given the opponent. Brooklyn comes in allowing a staggering 115.4 ppg at home this season, so while the Hawks only average 102.8 ppg, look for them to eclipse that mark easily. Not that on the season the Nets are allowing teams to score close to 7 points more per game than what they average. Atlanta's defense isn't much better, as they are allowing 108.8 ppg and while the defense isn't any good for Brooklyn, this Nets team can put it in the basket, as they enter averaging 110.1 ppg on the season and a healthy 115 ppg at home. Take the OVER! |

12-01-17 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +5 | 95-79 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Grizzlies + The public is going to be all over the Spurs here, as San Antonio just beat these Grizzlies 104-95 as 8-point home favorite on Wednesday, as these two play a home-and-home set. It's really hard to win back-to-back games over the same team in a short period of time and keep in mind that it took 41 points from Aldridge for the Spurs to pull away from the Grizzlies a couple days ago. I know Memphis is still without point guard Mike Conley, but they still have some talent and I'm confident they show up with a big time effort here at home in the rematch. It's also worth pointing out the Spurs are just 4-5 on the road compared to 10-2 at home and are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 away from home. Take Memphis! |

4* NCAAB Non-Conf ATS NO BRAINER on North Carolina - The Tar Heels should have no problem here cruising to a win over the Wildcats in this neutral site meeting at Time Warner Cable Arena. North Carolina's only loss came to Michigan State, who is absolutely loaded this year, as they have started out 6-1 with impressive double-digit wins over the likes of UNI, Arkansas, and Michigan. Davidson has started out 3-2, but their 3 wins are against the likes of Charleston Southern, UNC-Wilmington and Charlotte. They lost by 13 to Nevada and had an ugly 16-point loss to Appalachian State as a 10-point favorite. I just don't see the Wildcats being able to keep this within 20. Take North Carolina! |

3* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on San Diego State - I like the value here with San Diego State against in-state rival San Diego tonight. The Aztecs are off to a respectable 5-2 start with the only two losses coming at Arizona State and a natural site defeat to Washington State. The most recent loss to the Cougars looks bad on paper, but I also think it's playing into this favorable line here against the Toreros. Another factor in this line being shorter than what I think it should be is the fact that San Diego has started out 5-0, but it's nothing to get too excited about given their best win is against San Jose State, who is one of the worst teams out of the MWC. The Toreros could be a surprise player in the West Coast this season, but they are simply outclassed in this non-conference matchup. Take San Diego State! |

11-30-17 | Bucks v. Blazers OVER 202.5 | 103-91 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
4* NBA Over/Under Total ANNIHILATOR on Bucks OVER With both of these teams coming off great defensive efforts in their last game, I think it's created some great value here with the total and this one going OVER the mark set by the books. Last time out the Bucks held the Kings to just 87 points, while the Blazers limited the Knicks to just 91. I just think there's too much offensive fire-power here. Milwaukee has scored 108 or more in each of their first 3 games on their 4-game road trip, while the Blazers have scored at least 103 in each of their last 3. OVER is 9-3 in the Bucks last 12 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 against a team from the Western Conference. OVER is also 5-1 in the Blazers last 6 vs a team with a winning record and 8-3 in their last 11 against the Central Division. Take the OVER! |

11-30-17 | Pacific -2 v. UC Riverside | 57-55 | Push | 0 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Vegas ATS HEAVY HITTER on Pacific - I like the value here with the Tigers, who are showing signs of improvement in year two under head coach Damon Stoudamire. While Pacific is just 3-4 to start, they have showed they can compete against some good teams, most notably a 15 point loss to a very good Nevada team. As for UC-Riverside, they just recently lost by 45 points to Michigan and are just 1-3 in their last 4 overall, which also includes a 12-point loss at home to Portland State, who I think is right on par with this Pacific squad. I think the difference in this one is going to come down to the Tigers being the much more efficient offensive team. Pacific comes in averaging 75.9 ppg and are shooting a blistering 47.1% from the field. The Highlanders on the other hand average just 67.4 ppg and are connecting on just 40.7% of their attempts. Note that overall I think the schedules have been pretty even between the two, so it's easy to see the value here with the Tigers laying such a short number. Take Pacific! |

11-30-17 | Missouri -2.5 v. UCF | Top | 62-59 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
5* NCAAB Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Missouri - I like the value here with Missouri laying a short number on the road against the Knights. The Tigers suffered a huge blow when freshman and potential No. 1 overall pick Michael Porter Jr. was lost for the season, but I think it has them undervalued right now. While Porter Jr. was a special talent, there's still enough pieces in place for Missouri to have a decent season and they have showed they can compete without him. Last time out they only lost by 4 on a neutral court against a very good West Virginia team. As for UCF, there missing some key pieces too. Most notably junior guard B.J. Taylor, who led the team in scoring a season ago at 17.4 ppg and is good enough to take home the AAC Player of the Year honors. He's out indefinitely with a knee injury. The Knights started out 4-0, but have since lost 2 straight. The first coming against the same West Virginia team Missouri almost beat and UCF lost to Mountaineers by 38 points. The other was a 3-point loss to St John's who the Tigers beat by 8. These two teams simply aren't as close as this line would suggest. Take Missouri! |

11-29-17 | Grizzlies v. Spurs -7.5 | 95-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show | |
3* NBA No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Spurs - The Grizzlies are a complete mess right now. Memphis has lost 8 straight and things got so bad after their most recent loss, a 88-98 loss to the Nets at home, head coach David Fizdale was fired. With starting point guard Mike Conley, arguably their most important player to them having success on the court, still out with a Achilles injury, I just don't see Memphis putting up much of a fight here against the Spurs. San Antonio hasn't been as dominant to start the season as years past, as they continue to wait for Kawhi Leonard to make his debut, but are still playing really well at home. Spurs are 9-2 SU and 8-3 ATS at home, compared to just 4-5 SU and 2-6 ATS on the road. I think this gets ugly in a hurry and the Spurs win here via a blowout. Take San Antonio! |

11-29-17 | Austin Peay v. Oklahoma State -20.5 | 63-79 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Oklahoma State - This isn't a top tier Oklahoma State team that will be competing for a Big 12 title this season, but I've liked what I've seen from the Cowboys early on and simply put are the far superior team in this matchup. Austin Peay is a middle of the pack team out of the Ohio Valley Conference, who went just 11-19 a year ago and only returned 1 starter. They have played a couple Power 5 teams and it hasn't been pretty, losing by 19 to Vanderbilt and by 44 to Virginia. The Governors are simply going to struggle to keep pace with this high-powered Cowboys offense, which comes in averaging 80.2 ppg and 88.2 ppg at home. The only hope for a team like Austin Peay in this spot is to hit a lot of 3's and that's just not their strength, as they come in averaging just 4 made 3-pointers a game and are shooting just 28.6% from long distance. Adding to this is the fact that the Cowboys have owned teams that can't shoot from deep, as they are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 home games vs teams who are hitting 31% or worse from behind the 3-point line. Take Oklahoma State! |

3* NCAAB Vegas ATS NO BRAINER on Coastal Carolina - I like the value here with the Chanticleers laying what I feel is a short number at home against the Terriers. While the competition hasn't been great, Coastal Carolina has absolutely dominated their opponents at home this season winning by 52 and 36. They also have a 14 point win over UTSA as a short 3-point favorite and also beat Iona by 5 as a 4-point dog. Wofford is 3-4 on the season and have really struggled on the road. The most recent being a 65-85 loss at UNC-Asheville in a game that didn't even have a line. They also lost by 23 at Texas Tech and 14 at Cal. While CC isn't quite on the level of the Red Raiders and Bears, they should have no problem here winning by double-digits in this one. Chanticleers also fall into a great spot, as they are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games off a home win. Take Coastal Carolina! |

11-28-17 | Nuggets v. Jazz OVER 206.5 | 77-106 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 4 m | Show | |
3* NBA Late Night Total DOMINATOR on Jazz OVER I like the value here with the total and it going OVER the mark set by the books in Tuesday's NBA action that has the Jazz hosting the Nuggets. Utah simply isn't the same top tier defensive team without big man Rudy Gobert, who is out with a Tibia injury. At the same time, the Jazz have found a new spark plug offensively in rookie Donovan Mitchell. He's a big reason why Utah is putting up 109.8 ppg over their last 5. Denver is an ideal team for a high-scoring game, as they like to get up and down the floor and come in averaging 107.8 ppg on the season and 113.6 ppg over their last 5. At the same time, the Nuggets are not a great defensive team. They are allowing 106.5 ppg overall and 110.2 ppg on the road. OVER is 12-3 in Utah's last 15 games over a home win by 10 or more and 15-4 in the Nuggets last 19 road games with a line of +3 to -3. Take the OVER! |

11-28-17 | UC-Santa Barbara v. San Francisco -4.5 | 79-72 | Loss | -102 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Late Night ATS ANNIHILATOR on San Fran - I really like the value here with the Dons as a short home favorite against UC-Santa Barbara. San Francisco was one of the great stories from last year that no one talked about. In his first year as the head coach, Kyle Smith guided the Dons to a 20-13 record with a make-shift roster that only had one senior. San Francisco should be even stronger in year two under Smith and I just don't see them losing at home here against the Gauchos. Santa Barbara returned 4 starters and should be improved, but this is also a team that went just 6-22 a year ago. Gauchos won last time out, but are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 after a win. They are also just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 road games vs a team with a winning road record. Take San Francisco! |

11-28-17 | Northwestern v. Georgia Tech | 51-52 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Money Line VEGAS INSIDER on Northwestern I'm taking the Wildcats here on the money line in Tuesday's game at Georgia Tech. While the Yellow Jackets have started out 3-1, the 3 wins have come against bad teams, two of which didn't even have lines. Georgia Tech will be a good team and should finish near the top of the ACC standings, but aren't that team right now, as they continue to play without their best player in sophomore Josh Okogie. Northwestern hasn't had the start some expected, but there two losses have come against a couple of quality teams in Creighton and Texas Tech. The big key here is the Wildcats have the veterans to go on the road and win in a tough venue like this. Look for seniors Bryant McIntosh and Scottie Lindsey to carry the load and guide the Wildcats to victory. Take Northwestern! |

11-28-17 | Davidson -6.5 v. Charlotte | Top | 85-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
5* NCAAB Heavy Hitter GAME OF THE MONTH on Davidson - I really like this spot for the Wildcats, who I think are way undervalued here on the road against the 49ers. Charlotte is just 3-2 to start the year, with their 3 wins over the likes of Methodist, Presbyterian and High Point and two of those they won by just single digits. They also lost by 9 at home to College of Charleston. Davidson enters off back-to-back losses, as they fell 68-81 at Nevada and 62-78 at Appalachian State. This is still a talented Wildcats team and we are catching them laying a shorter number than they should due to their recent struggles. Note that these two teams played last year and the Wildcats won by 22, as they held the 49ers to just 28% shooting from the field. 49ers are just 5-14 ATS in their last 19 as an underdog and are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 when they come in having won 2 of their last 3. Take Davidson! |

11-28-17 | Baylor v. Xavier OVER 146.5 | 63-76 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Over/Under Total NO BRAINER on Baylor OVER I think we see Xavier and Baylor fly over the total here. The Musketeers feature one of the most explosive offenses in the country. Xavier comes in averaging 91.2 ppg, scoring on average nearly 16.5 ppg more than what their opponents give up. The fewest the Musketeers have scored in any single game is 80 and that was on the road against a good Wisconsin defense. So while the Bears come in allowing just 59 ppg, I look for Xavier to continue to keep rolling on offense, especially with this game at home. As for the Baylor offense, they are putting up 78 ppg and should be able to hit that mark here against an Xavier defense that gave up 70 to the Badgers and 102 to Arizona State in their only two teams against good competition. OVER is 41-22 (65%) in Xavier's last 63 home games with a total of 140 to 149.5 and 33-14 in Baylor's last 47 as a road dog of 6 points or less. Take the OVER! |

11-27-17 | Lakers v. Clippers UNDER 214.5 | 115-120 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under Total DOMINATOR on Lakers UNDER I like the value here with the UNDER in Monday's total between the Lakers and Clippers. These two teams don't like each other and we can expect a big time effort from both sides on the defensive side of the ball. That was certainly the case in the first meeting between these two teams this season, as they combined for an even 200 with a total of 219.5. While the books have adjusted the number quite a bit from that contest, I still think it's way too high. The Clippers have really struggled offensively of late. In their last 4 games they have scored fewer than 100 points 3 times, twice failing to reach 90. The lone exception was against a horrible Hawks team, where they had 116. Lakers are giving up 107.1 ppg, but have shown flashes of being a decent defensive team and are currently 6th in the NBA in defensive efficiency. UNDER is 17-5 in the Clippers last 22 home games off a road win and 10-2 in their last 12 vs a team with a losing record. UNDER is also 4-1 in the Lakers last 5 on the road and 10-2 in the last 12 meetings in the series. Take the UNDER! |

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Florida International + I like the value here with FIU catching a big number at home against the Gamecocks. South Carolina has started out 4-1, but I've not been all that impressed with what I have seen. The lone loss was a 65-69 defeat to Illinois State on a neutral court where they shot just 29.5% from the field. Keep in mind that the Gamecocks are going to be down from last year, as they lost 3 starters, who all averaged double-digits, including one of the best players in the country in Sindarius Thornwell. Now I know this FIU team isn't anything to get excited about, but this is a ton of points for the Gamecocks to be laying on the road. The Panthers have a couple of guys who score the basketball, as junior Erick Lockett is averaging 16 ppg and sophomore Trejon Jacob is putting in 15.8 ppg. Keep in mind no one on South Carolina is averaging more than 12 ppg. Gamecocks are just 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 against a team with a losing record, while the Panthers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Take FIU! |

11-26-17 | UC-Davis +7 v. Washington | 70-77 | Push | 0 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Late Night ATS SHOCKER on UC Davis + I like the value here with the Aggies on Sunday against the Huskies. UC Davis has started out 3-1 and are a perfect 3-0 ATS in their 3 lined games this season. Washington is improved over last year's disastrous 9-22 campaign, but are far from a NCAA Tournament caliber team. They are 3-2 to start the season, which includes an ugly 24-point loss to Virginia Tech. They have also struggled against lessor competition, as they only beat Eastern Washington by 10 and most recently only beat Seattle by 5 at home in a game they were expected to dominate so much that their wasn't even a line posted. Huskies are just 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs a team that has a winning record, while the Aggies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 on the road and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. Take UC-Davis! |

11-26-17 | Nets v. Grizzlies UNDER 212 | 98-88 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
3* NBA Over/Under Total DOMINATOR on Nets UNDER I like the value here with this high total for Sunday's NBA action that has the Grizzlies hosting the Nets. The UNDER has been a great bet with Memphis at home, as it's 8-2 so far this season. A big reason for that is the Grizzlies aren't a great offensive team and even when going up against a bad defense like Brooklyn tend to struggle to score. Memphis is also a great defensive team at home, as they are only giving up 99.3 ppg. The Nets are averaging nearly 4-points less on the road than they are for the season and I look for them to struggle here. UNDER is 13-3 in Brooklyn's last 16 games when they come in having scored 105 or more points in 3 straight games. UNDER is also 23-11 in the Grizzlies last 34 as a home favorite and 4-0 in their last 4 off a SU loss. Take the UNDER! |

11-25-17 | Bucks v. Jazz UNDER 200 | 108-121 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
4* NBA Over/Under Total NO BRAINER on Jazz UNDER The books have set the bar too high for Saturday's non-conference clash between the Bucks and Jazz. Both of these teams are strong defensively and the biggest key here is that neither of these teams like to push the pace. Utah ranks 26th in pace of play and the Bucks are right behind them at 27th. Milwaukee comes in averaging just 97.8 ppg over their last 5 and will be facing a Jazz defense that is only giving up 95.3 ppg at home this season. UNDER is 9-2 in the Bucks last 11 against a team with a losing record and 12-4-1 in their last 16 road games against a team that's won more than 60% of their games. UNDER is also 5-0 in Utah's last 5 when playing a team with a winning record and 9-3 in their last 12 off a straight up win. Take the UNDER! |

11-25-17 | Thunder -5 v. Mavs | 81-97 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 59 m | Show | |
3* NBA No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Thunder - I like the value here with OKC laying a short number on the road against the Mavs. It's only a matter of time before the Thunder get this thing figured out with Westbrook, George and Anthony. We a glimpse of their potential earlier this week when they absolutely laid it on the Warriors 108-91. They weren't able to follow it up, losing last night at home to the Pistons 98-99, but I think that puts them in a great spot here to make easy work of a bad Mavericks team. These two teams played earlier this month and the Thunder won easily 112-99. Dallas is just 2-11 ATS this season when revenging a loss and 0-7 when revenging a loss where they allowed more than 110 points. Take Oklahoma City! |

11-25-17 | IUPU Ft Wayne v. East Tenn State -3 | 73-83 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB ATS HEAVY HITTER on East Tennessee State I think we are getting some great value here with the Buccaneers laying this short number at home against Fort Wayne. ETSU is one of the top teams out of the Southern Conference and should have no problem here winning and covering against the Mastodons, who have had all kinds of trouble away from home. Fort Wayne is just 3-14 ATS over the last 2 seasons and just 1-8 in their last 9 road games after playing their previous game on the road. ETSU was upset in their last game, but are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 off an upset loss as a favorite and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 off an upset loss as a home favorite. Take East Tennessee St! |

11-24-17 | Raptors -118 v. Pacers | 104-107 | Loss | -118 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
4* NBA Situational HEAVY HITTER on Raptors - I like the value here with Toronto on the money line against the Pacers Friday. The Raptors lost last time out at New York 100-108, snapping a streak of 4 straight wins and covers. I look for them to get right back to their winning ways against Indiana. The Pacers have been playing well, as they come in having won and covered each of their last 4, but are now paying the price with this line at basically a pick'em. Indiana simply isn't on the same level as Toronto and while they likely keep it close, the Raptors should pull away for the win late. Note that each of the Pacers last two wins have come on the road as an underdog and that puts them in a bad spot, as they are just 1-12 ATS in their last 13 off 2 or more upset wins as a road dog. Take Toronto! |

11-24-17 | Oakland +20 v. Kansas | 59-102 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
3* NCAAB Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Oakland + I like the value here with the Grizzlies catching a big number against the Jayhawks on Friday. Oakland is the clear-cut favorite to win the Horizon League, as they return 4 starters from last year's 25-9 team. No denying that Kansas is an elite team, but they are young and still learning how to play together. I just question how motivated the Jayhawks will be for this game during Thanksgiving break, while there's no question the Grizzlies are going to lay it all on the line against the No. 3 ranked team in the country. Kansas gets the win, but it's a lot closer than expected. Note that the Grizzlies are 27-9-1 ATS in their last 37 against a team that's won more than 60% of their games and 20-6 ATS in their last 26 road games against a team with a winning home record. Take Oakland! |

11-23-17 | Vanderbilt v. Virginia -6 | 42-68 | Win | 100 | 17 h 23 m | Show | |
4* NCAAB Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Virginia - I like the value here with the Cavaliers against the Commodores. Vanderbilt has already dropped two games in the early going and the most recent was a crushing 89-93 overtime loss at home. The Commodores are a team that relies a lot on the outside shot and that's just not a good recipe for success against Virginia, who plays as good a defense as any team in the country. The Cavaliers are holding teams nearly 20 points below their season average and teams are shooting just 37.5% against them overall and just 26.2% from behind the 3-point line. Vanderbilt doesn't provide near the threat defensively and that has this one likely turning into a blowout. Take Virginia! |

11-22-17 | SMU v. Northern Iowa +8 | Top | 58-61 | Win | 100 | 24 h 6 m | Show |
5* NCAAB Non-Conf GAME OF THE MONTH on Northern Iowa + I think we are getting some great value here with UNI as a decently priced dog against SMU. The Mustangs have started out 4-0, but that's no surprise given the cupcake schedule they have had. Only one of their games even had a line and they were favored by 17.5 in that one. I believe SMU's strong start combined with the fact that they are coming off a 30-win season, has them overvalued here against a good Panthers team. Keep in mind that the Mustangs lost 3 players who were either drafted or signed by NBA teams, including last year's AAC Player of the Year in Semi Ojeleye. UNI isn't going to wow you with their roster, but Ben Jacobson knows how to get the best out of his team and the Panthers have plenty of talent coming back to finish in the top 4 of the Missouri Valley for a 10th straight season. They showed a lot of that potential in their opener, when they competed in a 17-point loss at UNC. I not only think they can cover the number here, but I wouldn't be surprised if they won this game outright. Take Northern Iowa! |
