02-25-22 | Heat -5 v. Knicks | Top | 115-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
The Miami Heat begin the second half of the NBA season and look to build on a fine first half that saw them go 38-21 S/U and 33-24-2 ATS. The Heat closed out the 1st half winning six of their last seven games. The Knicks hope the 2nd half of their season is better than the first after a 25-34 record and last place in the Eastern Division. They were 2-11 S/U their last 13 games and 2-9 ATS their last 11 games. The Knicks are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven as a dog. The Heat have covered seven of the last nine in this series and four of the last five in New York. I'll take them again here tonight. Play the Heat. |

02-24-22 | UCLA v. Oregon +3.5 | Top | 63-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
PAC-12 action here tonight has UCLA taking on Oregon. UCLA hit that 20-win mark in their last game, a win over Arizona State, 66-52, as a 13.5 point favorite. That was their third win in a row both S/U and ATS. Even with that, they are just 4-3 S/U and ATS their last seven games. Oregon is 17-10 overall on the season and looks to snap a two-game losing streak here at home tonight. The Ducks are coming off a pair of road losses in Arizona to ASU, 57-81, and then last game to AU, 81-84. The Ducks have the fourth best efficient offense in the PAC-12. They are 2nd overall in 2-point FG% (51.8%) and fourth in 3-point FG% (33.4%). I'll take the points at home tonight with the Ducks. |

02-24-22 | Celtics -8.5 v. Nets | 129-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
The 2nd half of the NBA season starts tonight and the Eastern conference Celtics and Nets clash. The Celtics are 6th right now in the East and the Nets are 8th. The Celtics are 34-26 overall and 30-28-2 ATS. They finished the first half strong, going 11-2 their last 13 games and 8-4-1 ATS. The Nets are 31-28 after the first half ended, but only 22-35-2 vs the spread. They were just 2-12 S/U and 4-9-1 ATS their last 14 games. Despite the All-Star break, the Nets will still be without two of their stars as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are both expected out tonight. Second half of the season looks to start the same way the first did for the Nets. I'll lay the price with Boston tonight. |

02-24-22 | IUPU Ft Wayne +6.5 v. Oakland | 81-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons are 18-10 on the season and bring a seven game win streak into today's contest. They are also 6-1 ATS in those last seven games. They are coming off a win at Wisc-Milwaukee, 81-71, as a 4.5-point favorite. The Mastodons have the top defense in the conference overall. The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are also 18-10 and are looking to break a 2-game losing streak here tonight. They are coming off a loss to Northern Kentucky, 66-71, as a 4.5-point favorite. The Grizzlies have not done well for bettors, evidenced by their 1-9 ATS mark their last 10 spread games. I like the visitors here tonight who have been covering spreads. Play IPFW. |
|||||||
02-24-22 | Youngstown State +7 v. Wright State | 71-84 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Youngstown State Penguins look to improve their win streak to three games tonight as they take on Wright State. The Penguins are coming off a win over Indiana Purdue, 74-61, as a 17.5-point favorite. They are now 8-1 S/U their last nine games and 8-4 ATS their last 12 games. Wright State Raiders are 16-13 on the season and coming off a loss at Detroit-Mercy, 75-80 as a 1-point favorite. That makes three losses in their last four games both S/U and ATS. The Raiders are only 4-9 ATS their last 13 games vs a team with a winning straight-up record. Wright State is a 7-point favorite here tonight and I believe that is way too many points against a very good Youngstown squad. Take Youngstown State. |
|||||||
02-23-22 | Rutgers +5 v. Michigan | 62-71 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Big 10 action tonight has 5th place Rutgers (10-6) taking on 8th place Michigan (8-7). The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are 16-10 overall and had their four-game win streak snapped last game at Purdue, 72-84, as a 12.5-point dog. The Knights have covered six straight games though. Unless Michigan comes out big in the Big 10 tourney, they likely won't go to the NCAA tourney with a 14-11 record. The Wolverines are coming off a loss at Wisconsin, 63-77 as a 3-point dog. They are just 3-3 S/U and ATS in their last six games. Michigan laying around 5-points tonight and for me I can Rutgers winning this game outright. I'll take the points with Rutgers. |
|||||||
02-23-22 | TCU +9 v. Texas | 66-75 | Push | 0 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Big 12 clash here on Wednesday has TCU taking on Texas. TCU and Texas right next to each other in the Big 12 with Texas 4th at 8-6 and TCU 5th at 6-7. TCU Horned Frogs are 17-8 overall on the season and snapped a 3-game losing streak in their last game against West Virginia, 77-67, as a 4-point favorite. The Frogs have done well covering spreads, going 9-4 ATS their last 13 and 13-5 ATS their last 18 games. Texas is 19-8 overall and coming off a loss at home to Texas Tech, 55-61, as a 4-point favorite. The Longhorns have lost two of their last three games and are 4-7 ATS their last 11 games. TCU getting 8.5-points here tonight. I believe that's too many for Texas to lay. Take TCU. |
|||||||
02-23-22 | West Virginia v. Iowa State -5 | 81-84 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
West Virginia looks to keep its head above the .500 line with a win tonight at Iowa State. The 14-13 Mountaineers have lost four straight games both S/U and ATS including last time out at TCU, 67-77 as a 4-point dog. WVU is now just 1-11 S/U and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games. Their one win came at home against this Iowa State team, 79-63, as a 3.5-point favorite. The Iowa State Cyclones are 18-9 and bring a two-game win streak into this contest. They are coming off a blowout win over Oklahoma, 75-54 as a 1.5-point favorite. I look for Iowa State to avenge that loss to WVU here tonight. Play Iowa State. |
|||||||
02-23-22 | Mississippi State v. South Carolina +2.5 | Top | 56-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Both these clubs pretty evenly matched with both having won 16 games on the season. Both are 7-7 in conference play and sit right in the middle of the SEC pack. Miss State Bulldogs have won two straight games, including their contest at Missouri, 58-56, as a 4-point favorite. Still, they are just 3-6 S/U and 5-4 ATS their last nine games. South Carolina Gamecocks have won three straight games, including last time out vs LSU, 77-75, as a 4.5-point home dog. They have covered four straight and seven of their last nine games. They lost to the Bulldogs back on Feb 1st, 64-78, as a 8.5-point road dog. Not sure why Miss State is a small favorite here tonight. I have it the other way around. However, I'll gladly take the few points with South Carolina. |
|||||||
02-22-22 | Alabama v. Vanderbilt +4.5 | 74-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
SEC action tonight has Alabama taking on Vandy. Alabama brings a 17-10 overall record into tonight's contest and is off a loss at Kentucky, 81-90, as a 5.5-point dog. The Crimson Tide are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games. Vandy has a 14-12 overall record and is coming off a win over Texas A&M, 72-67, as a 3.5-point favorite. They are 4-1-1 ATS their last six games. This has been a close series with 17 of the last 18 meetings between these teams decided by 10 points or fewer and 10 of those games by five points or fewer. I look for Vandy to cover here tonight and really look for an outright win from the Commodores. |
|||||||
02-22-22 | Richmond v. George Washington +6.5 | 84-71 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
The Richmond Spiders hope to make a late season push to get to that 20-win mark, but it starts here tonight at George Washington. The Spider have lost two of their last three games, including last game at VCU, 57-77, as a 3-point dog. They are also 0-3-1 ATS their last four games. George Washington won't be going anywhere this post season with just a 11-14 overall record. So these games mean something to them as we come down the stretch. The Colonials have played well lately, winning their last two games and three of their last four games. They are coming off a win over Rhode Island, 72-61, as a 4-point home dog. But what I really like about this GW team is that they know how to cover spreads. They are 9-2 ATS their last 11 games. They are also 7-3-1 ATS at home this year and 3-1-1 as a home dog. Richmond is laying 7-points here and really they better not take this GW team lightly or they will lose the game outright. Take the points with GW. |
|||||||
02-22-22 | Arkansas v. Florida | Top | 82-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
Arkansas looks to solidify its hold on a NCAA bid as they play at Florida tonight. The Razorbacks are 21-6 overall on the season and have won two straight after losing to Alabama back on Feb 12. They are coming off a win over Tennessee, 58-48, as a 2-point favorite. The hogs have now covered eight straight games and 11 of their last 12 games. They have the number one defense in the SEC and are ranked first in defensive 3-poing FG% (28.6%) and 2nd in two-point FG% (44.8%). The Florida Gators are 17-10 overall on the season and snapped a two-game losing streak with a win in their last game over Auburn, 63-62, as a 4.5-point dog. Florida is just 1-5 ATS in their last six games. Unlike Arkansas, Florida is ranked 10th overall in the SEC in defense. Pick'em game here tonight means we just need to win the game and I look to Arkansas to do just that. Play Arkansas. |
|||||||
02-21-22 | Penn State +3 v. Maryland | Top | 61-67 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
Penn State looks to get back to the .500 mark tonight with a road win at Maryland. The Nittany Lions have won two straight games including last game vs Minnesota, 67-46, as a 5-point favorite. The Lions don't have much of an offense, ranking 12th in the Big 10 conference. However, the defense is one of the better ones, ranking 6th overall in the conference and 1st in 2-point defensive field goal percentage of 44.4%. Therefore, it's not surprising that they have held four of their last five opponents to 58 points or fewer. Maryland not having a good year either at 12-14 overall. The Terrapins are 12th in the conference with a 4-11 conference mark. The offense ranks 7th and the defense is 12th overall in the Big 10. In fact, the Terps are 9th or worst in most defensive categories in the Big 10. Penn State is 4-1 ATS in their last five as a dog. Maryland just 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as a home favorite and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games. I'll take the 3-points with Penn State tonight. |

02-20-22 | Rutgers +12.5 v. Purdue | 72-84 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show | |
Two of the Big 10's top four teams meet here today has conference leader Purdue (12-4) takes on 4th place Rutgers (10-5). The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are 16-9 overall on the season and have won four straight games, including last time at home over Illinois, 70-59, as a 4-point dog. The Knights have also covered five straight games. Rutgers has the 8th ranked offense in the conference and the 3rd ranked defense. Purdue one of the teams looking for a top seed in the NCAA tournament at 23-4 overall. They have won two straight games and eight of their last nine games. They haven't been great at covering spreads though, evidenced by their 2-4-1 ATS mark their last seven games. Purdue has the Big 10's top offense with the exception of free throws as they rank dead last at just 67.6%. However, the defense is only 10th in the Big 10 as they allow 35.3% from the 3-point arc (9th) and 50.4% from 2-pointers (8th). The one thing I like here is that Rutgers is a good team playing a average at best defense that has had trouble covering spreads. I'll take the double digits with Rutgers. |
|||||||
02-20-22 | Rangers -1.5 v. Senators | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Eastern Conference action here today has the NY Rangers taking on the Ottawa Senators. The Rangers are in 6th place in the East with 67 points. They are also on a 6-3-1 run their last 10 games. They had their three game win streak snapped last game vs Detroit, 2-3. The Senators are 12th in the East with 41 points and are 5-4-1 their last 10 games. The Senators are coming off a loss to Boston 2-3 and are 2-4 their last six games. I'm going to lay the puckline today with the Rangers. |

Meanwhile, Milwaukee is 9th with a 7-12 record and 9-19 overall record. The Fort Wayne Mastadons bring a six game win streak into today's contest after beating Wisconsin Green Bay last time, 74-55, as a 5-point road favorite. they have also covered five of their last six games. While the offense is only 8th in the conference, the defense ranks number one. They have the top defense in limiting offensive rebounds at 27.1% and tops in takeaways at 22.5%. Milwaukee Panthers are coming off a loss to Cleveland State, 61-78, as a 6-point dog. That makes them 2-7 S/U and ATS in their last nine games. The offense ranks 10th in the conference and the defense ranks 8th. Fort Wayne laying four looks like a bargain price to me. Play IPFW. |
|||||||
02-20-22 | Providence -3.5 v. Butler | 71-70 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
The Providence Friars look very good for a NCAA berth this year as they sit at 21-3 on the season. The Friars suffered just their third loss of the season in their last game to Villanova, 84-89, as a 4-point home dog. That loss snapped a eight game win streak. Providence has the fourth ranked offense in the conference and the 6th ranked defense. Butler will need to win their conference tourney if they hope to make the NCAA's this year as they sit at just 13-14 overall. The Bulldogs are coming off a loss at St Johns, 57-91 as a 7.5 point dog. That makes them 2-4 their last six games. They are also 4-9 ATS at home this year in 13 spread games. Butler has the 10th ranked offense and 9th ranked defense in the conference. They are dead last in 3-point FG% at 30.1% and 10th in Free throws. Providence laying a good number here on the road at just 3.5-points. I'll take the Friars at that price. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | Colorado State -4.5 v. UNLV | 51-72 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Colorado State has NCAA hopes as they sit 21-3 overall on the season. Even without a COnference Tournament Championship they look in good shape as they play in Las Vegas tonight. The Rams have won five straight games including last time at New Mexico, 83-68. They have also covered four straight games. They also have revenge tonight having lost to this UNLV team on their home court back on Jan 28th, 74-88. UNLV is 15-12 and will need to win their tourney to get into the NCAA's. They are coming off a win over Fresno, 60-57 as a 6-point dog. This team has won two or more games in row just once since December. I'm taking the Rams in a revenge mode here today. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | Norfolk State -2 v. Coppin State | 89-59 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
Jim doesn't play extra games much, so you know when he does he sees something that has tipped the scale. Today Norfolk State take on Coppin State. The Norfold State Spartans are 16-5 S/U on the season and have a two game win streak after beating Delware State 69-66 as a 14-point favorite. The Spartans are now 8-1 S/U and 5-3-1 ATS in their last nine games. Norfolk is 1st in both offense and defensive efficiency in the conference. They lead most categories in offense and offense and look like the team to beat this year. The Coppin State Eagles are just 5-19 on the year and have lost three straight games. The defense is all right but the offense needs help. This looks like a Norfolk blowout to me. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | Troy State +4.5 v. Coastal Carolina | 63-73 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
The Troy Trojans look to make it two in a row as they play at Coastal Carolina here today. The Trojans are coming off a win over App State, 67-61, as a 3.5-point road dog. That makes them 18-8 overall and 5-1 S/U and 4-2 ATS in their last six games. This has been a terrific road team this year, going 8-5 S/U and 9-4 ATS on the season. The strength of this team is their defense, ranked 2nd in efficiency in the conference. They also have the third best 3-point defense (30.5%). This team can shoot free throws too, ranked tops in the conference at 76.7%. They take on a Coastal Carolina team that looks to keep their heads above water sitting at 13-12 overall. They are just 1-4 both S/U and ATS in their last five games. I'm going to take the points with a good road team in Troy here today. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | Akron -4.5 v. Eastern Michigan | Top | 67-48 | Win | 100 | 5 h 37 m | Show |
MAC action here today has 5th place Akron (9-6) taking on 11th place Eastern Michigan (4-11). The Akron Zips are 15-9 overall and look to break a 3-game losing streak here today. They are coming off a loss against Northern Illinois, 63-66, as a 12-point home favorite. Akron ranks better than their record in both offense (4th) and defense (5th). This is a decent offensive team, 2nd in the MAC in 2-point FG% at 52.6%. They will take on a poor Eastern Michigan team that is 9-17 overall and coming off a loss to Buffalo, 69-83, as a 10.5-point dog. The Eagles are 1-6 S/U and 2-5 ATS their last seven games. Eastern has the conferences worst defense in efficiency and worst in offensive rebounds and worst in 3-point FG% at just 31.3%. The defense is a big better, but still in the latter half of the conference in most areas. I'll take Akron here today and lay the points. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | Auburn -4.5 v. Florida | 62-63 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 38 m | Show | |
No 2 ranked Auburn is 24-2 and looks to solidify one of those four top NCAA seeds as they play today on the road at Florida. The Tigers have won two straight since losing to Arkansas on Feb 8th, 76-80. They are coming off a win over Vandy, 94-80, just covering the 13.5-point line. They have already beaten Florida once this year on their home court, 85-73 as a 8.5-point favorite. The Tigers have done well covering spreads, going 12-3 ATS their last 15 games. Florida is 16-10 overall on the season and riding a two-game losing streak after losses to Kentucky and then last game at Texas A&M, 55-56. The Gators have also not been kind to bettors, going 0-5 their last five games. I'm taking Auburn here today as they look to show their dominance. |

02-19-22 | Notre Dame +6 v. Wake Forest | 74-79 | Win | 100 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
ACC contest here today has two of the best in the conference meeting up. Notre Dame is 19-7 overall on the season and looking to extend their win streak to six in a row today and 10 of the last 11 games. The Irish take on 20-7 Wake Forest here today. Wake looks to have punched their ticket to the NCAA no matter what, but more wins will just solidify that. They are coming off a pair of losses in a row, including a loss at Duke, 74-76 as a 9.5-point dog. Wake is laying 6-points here today. Should be an excellent game, but I'll take the points with the dog in this one. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | Texas Tech +3.5 v. Texas | 61-55 | Win | 100 | 2 h 20 m | Show | |
Texas Tech hit that magical 20-win mark last game with a win over Baylor, 83-73, as a 2-point favorite. It was their second win in a row and fifth in their last six games. They have been great at covering spreads, going 8-1 last nine games and 12-2 ATS their last 14 games. The Red Raiders take on the equally good Texas Longhorns today who go for that 20th win today. The Longhorns are 19-7 and coming off a win over Oklahoma, 80-78, as a 1-point dog. This looks to be one of the better games today and for me I'll take the 3+ points with the Raiders in this one. Play Texas Tech. |

02-19-22 | Illinois v. Michigan State +1.5 | 79-74 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |

The also have the Big 10's top ranked free throw shooting team at 81% and 2nd best 3-point shooting team at 38.2%. Michigan State lost at Illinois back on Jan25th, 56-55, covering the 2.5-point dog line. I look for another low scoring, tight game here today. I don't believe Michigan State should be a 1.5-point dog though. I'll take the Spartans in this one. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | TCU +12.5 v. Baylor | 62-72 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
TCU Looks to snap a 2-game losing streak hear early on Saturday as they take on Baylor. The Horned Frogs are coming off a loss against Iowa State last time out, 51-54, as a 4-point favorite. That made them 1-3 both S/U and ATS their last four games. The Frogs are in a crowded Big 12 and need all the wins they can if they hope to make the NCAA tournament. Defending Champion Baylor is 21-5 and coming off a loss at Texas Tech, 73-83, as a 2-point dog. That made them 2-2 both S/U and ATS their last four games. They are also 2-4 ATS their last six games. Baylor laying double digits here today looks like a bit too much to me. I'll take the dog in this one. Play TCU. |

They are coming off a win over Cleveland State, 102-98 as a 2-point home dog. Fort Wayne has the conference's top defensive unit in efficiency. The offense comes in at 7th overall. Green Bay Phoenix has now lost eight straight games and covered just two of those. With just four wins on the season it's no wonder they are 11th in offense and 10th in defense in the Horizon League. I'll lay the points here on the road against this terrible Green Bay team. |
|||||||
02-18-22 | Northern Kentucky +1.5 v. Detroit | Top | 52-60 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
Northern Kentucky Norse look to build on their three-game in streak here tonight at Detroit Mercy. Norse are also 9-1 S/U and ATS in their last 10 games. The only blemish is against this Detroit team which won back on Feb 5, 7464 at Northern Kentucky. Detroit just 10-13 S/U and riding a two-game losing streak coming into tonight. The Titans are 2-3 S/U and ATS in their last five games. Norse looking for some payback tonight against the only team that has beaten them in the last 10 games. Play Northern Kentucky. |

Big East action today has 4th place Creighton taking on 10th place Depaul. Creighton is 8-5 in the Big East and 16-8 overall while Depaul is 3-11 in Big East and 12-12 overall. Creighton looks to build on their three-game win streak. Two of those wins coming back-to-back vs Georgetown. Creighton has a very good defense, ranked 1st in efficiency in the Big East. However, they also rank 10th in offense. But defensively they rank 1st in 3-point field goals (29.8%) and 1st in 2-point field goals (429.9%). Depaul hopes to stay above .500 tonight after losing two straight games. They are coming off a loss to Butler, 71-73 as a 5-point favorite. The Blue Demons have just three wins in their last 14 games. DePaul ranks 8th in offense and 10th in defense in the Big East. I like this Creighton defense to shutdown a poor Depaul offense here tonight. Play Creighton. |

02-17-22 | Santa Clara -4.5 v. Loyola Marymount | 84-80 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
The WCC is known for the conference where Gonzaga usually dominates and this year is no different. Doesn't leave much hope for the other teams to make the NCAA unless they can get an at large bid. That makes all these game important. Santa Clara is 4th in the conference with a 7-4 record and overall 17-9 mark. Loyola is next to last in the WCC with a 2-9 record and 9-14 overall mark. Santa Clara had its four game win streak snapped last game my San Francisco, 58-74, as a pick'em game. The Broncos are now 6-2 S/U and ATS their last eight games. Santa Clara has one of the top 40 offenses in the nation, 4th in the WCC. They have the 2nd best 2-point shooting team and fourth best 3-point team in WCC. Loyola is mired in a losing streak, now seven games long after losing at Portland last game, 76-86 as a 2-point favorite. They are also 2-6 ATS their last eight games. Loyola has the worst defense in the WCC and is last in 3-point and 2-point percentage defense. This defense is horrible overall and that will help Santa Clara to win this one going away. Play Santa Clara. |

02-17-22 | 76ers +6.5 v. Bucks | 123-120 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia 76ers made one of the big trades in the NBA thus far, getting James Harden from the Brooklyn Nets. Problem is, Harden has a hamstring issue and has yet to play for his new team. The Sixers are 34-23 S/U and 27-30-2 ATS on the season. They had their two game win streak snapped last game in a blowout loss at home to Boston, 87-135, as a 2-point dog. The Sixers usually do well off a loss, evidenced by their 10-2 ATS mark their last 12 in that role. Philly is also 5-0 ATS their last five as a road dog and 6-2 ATS their last eight overall on the road. The Bucks are 36-23 S/U and 27-31-1 ATS on the season. The Bucks snapped a two-game losing streak last time out with a win over Indiana, 128-119, though they failed to cover the 14-point spread. In fact, they are 0-3 ATS their last three games. The Bucks are also 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite. I look for Philly to bounce back after their horrible game last time out. Play Philadelphia. |

02-17-22 | Abilene Christian +1.5 v. Sam Houston State | 71-75 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 7 m | Show | |
Sam Houston and Abilene Christian trying to improve their WAC Conference standings before their tournament begins in March. Sam Houston is in 3rd in the WAC with a 10-3 record and overall 15-11 mark. ACU is 6th with a 8-5 record and overall 17-7 mark. ACU Wildcats look to extend their win streak to seven games in a row here tonight. They have covered their last two games and 3-3 their last six. The Cats are 6th in the conference in offense and 8th in defense. They have the WAC's 2nd best three throw shooting team at 74.8%. They also don't turn the ball over much (2nd ranked) while tops at taking the ball away. Sam Houston Bearkats have split their last four games both S/U and ATS. They are coming off a win over Chicago State, 72-59, as a 10-point road favorite. Unlike ACU, the Kats have the worst free throw team in the conference, though they do rank decent overall on offense (4th) and defense (4th). This looks to be a close game tonight, but I'll take the visitors in this one. Play Abilene Christian. |

02-17-22 | Old Dominion +2 v. Marshall | 63-67 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
A pair of Conference USA East teams meet here tonight as 5th place Old Dominion takes on last place Marshall. ODU is 5-7 in conference play and 10-15 overall. Marshall is 2-10 in conference and 9-16 overall. Old Dominion Monarchs snapped a three-game losing streak with a win last game over UAB, 81-72, as a 7.5-point home dog. The Monarchs are middle of the pack in the Conference USA standings both in offense and defense. The Marshall Thundering Herd also snapped a 3-game losing streak with a win at UTEP, 88-79, as a 6-point road dog. They haven't been very good though, posting a 2-13 S/U and ATS record their last 15 overall games. Marshall has the Conference USA's 12th ranked offense and 15th ranked defense. ODU should have little issues against arguably the worst team in the conference tonight. Play Old Dominion. |

02-16-22 | Blazers +11.5 v. Grizzlies | 123-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
The Portland Trailblazers are 24-34 S/U and 25-33 ATS on the season. They have won and covered their last three games, including last game at Milwaukee, 122-107 as a 12-point dog. The Memphis Grizzlies are 41-18 S/U and 39-19-1 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies have won six straight games and nine of their last 10 games. They have also gone 8-1-1 ATS their last 10 games. Memphis is a 11.5-point home favorite here tonight. When we examine how the Grizzlies have done as a double-digit home favorite, we see they haven't done well at all. Memphis is 20-35 ATS at home when favored by 10-points or more the last 55 games. Memphis is a very good team, but this double-digit line might be a tad too high. Play Portland. |

02-16-22 | Miami-FL -1.5 v. Louisville | Top | 70-63 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
ACC action here tonight has the Miami Hurricanes taking on Louisville. The Hurricanes are 18-7 S/U and having a very nice season. They currently sit in 4th in the ACC with a 10-4 conference mark. The Canes are coming off a pair of wins, including a nice upset win at Wake Forest, 76-72, as a 6.5-point dog. The Canes have now won and covered four of their last six games. Miami is one of the better offensive teams in the country, ranked in the top 21. They are 2nd in the ACC where they rank third in three point percentage, 38.1% and 2nd in 2-point percentage, 54.7%. This has been a very uncharacteristic season for the Louisville Cardinals. They are just 11-13 S/U and 7-16-1 ATS. They have lost six straight games and nine of their last 10 games. They are also not covering spreads with a 2-11-1 ATS mark their last 14 games. They rank 11th in offense and 13th in defense in the ACC and there isn't much to be happy about either. I like Miami here as they are the much better team and looking for that NCAA bid this year. Play Miami. |
|||||||
02-16-22 | Massachusetts +11.5 v. St Bonaventure | 71-83 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
The Minutemen of U Mass look to climb back to the .500 mark with a win tonight at St Bonnies. U Mass is 11-12 S/U and ATS on the season. They are coming off a win against St Josephs, 69-67, but just failed to cover the 3-point favorite line. That makes two wins in their last three games but only one cover. The St Bonaventure Bonnies are having a nice season with a 15-7 S/U and 8-13-1 ATS mark. The Bonnies are 9-2 S/U at home, but have only a 4-7 spread mark on their home floor. They have won three straight games both S/U and ATS, including two consecutive wins over St Louis. Bonnies laying 11.5-points here tonight. I'm going to take U Mass plus these points. |

02-16-22 | Manhattan +5 v. Fairfield | 74-67 | Win | 100 | 2 h 10 m | Show | |
Manhattan Jaspers look to stay above the .500 mark here today as they head to Fairfield. The Jaspers are 12-11 S/U on the season and 9-11-2 ATS vs the spread. They snapped a four game losing streak on Sunday at Quinnipiac, 83-66, as a 4.5-point dog. The Jaspers have a decent offense, ranked 5th in the conference. They also boast the conference's top ranked 2-point shooting team with a 53.6% mark. Fairfield can get back to the .500 mark today with a win. They are 12-13 overall on the season and 14-10 vs the spread. They haven't done well at home with a 5-7 S/U and 4-7 ATS spread record. The Stags have won two straight games after their win on Monday vs Canisius, 80-76, as a 6-point favorite. Fairfield ranks third in offense and 7th in defense in the conference. They are laying four to five points here early on Wednesday. Manhattan has the ability to win this game today, so 4.5-points looks good to me. Take Manhattan. |

02-15-22 | Utah State v. San Diego State -4 | 56-75 | Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Mountain West action late on the college slate tonight has Utah State taking on San Diego State. Utah St Aggies are 15-11 S/U and looking to snap a 2-game losing streak here tonight. The Aggies just lost at home to Nevada, 72-85 in a game that they never led as an 11-point favorite. San Diego State is 15-6 S/U and 10-11 ATS on the season. They have won three straight games but failed to cover all three. They haven't been horrible at covering, going 7-5 ATS over their last 12 games. San Diego State will have some payback on its minds tonight as they got killed by this Aggies team at Utah State back on Jan 26th, 57-75. I like San Diego State here tonight in the revenge role. |
|||||||
02-15-22 | Villanova v. Providence +4.5 | Top | 89-84 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
The Villanova Wildcats are 19-6 as they travel to Providence tonight to take on the Friars. The Wildcats have won three games in row and covered two of those. They are coming off a win over Seton Hall, 73-67, as a 9-point favorite. The Cats have the top offense in the conference and 2nd rated defense in efficiency. They are in the top three or four in most offensive and defensive categories. Providence is 21-2 overall on the season and has won eight straight games. The Friars have the four ranked offense and third ranked defense in the conference. Like Villanova, they rank top four in most categories. Providence is 14-0 S/U and 7-7 ATS at home. That makes this line a bit surprising that Villanova is laying 4 1/2 points here on the road. I'll take Providence with their perfect home record getting points. Play Providence. |
|||||||
02-15-22 | Mavs v. Heat -3.5 | 107-99 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
The Dallas Mavericks are 33-24 S/U and 30-26-1 ATS on the season. They had their four game win streak snapped last game at home vs the LA Clippers, 97-99, as a 6.5-point favorite. The Mavs are 13-13 S/U and 14-12 ATS on the road this year. Miami is 37-20 S/U and 33-22-2 ATS. The Heat have won five straight games after their win over Brooklyn on Saturday, 115-111, but they failed to cover the 11.5-point spread. Still, they are 4-1 ATS their last five games. The Heat are 4-1-1 ATS the last five vs the Mavericks in Miami. In addition, they are 9-3-1 ATS overall the last 13 meetings with Dallas. I'll take the Heat here on Tuesday. |

02-15-22 | South Carolina +4.5 v. Ole Miss | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 17 h 10 m | Show | |
SEC Action tonight has South Carolina taking on Ole Miss. Both teams are right around the middle of the conference standings, with South Carolina at 5-7 in the SEC and having a 14-10 overall record. Ole Miss actually comes in next to last in the SEC with a 3-9 mark and 12-13 overall record. South Carolina snapped a 3-game losing streak last time out at Georgia, 80-68, as a 2.5-point favorite. South Carolina has one of the better defenses in the country, ranked 35th overall. It's the offense that has had issues, ranked 13th in the conference. Good news for the Gamecocks is that they face a terrible Ole Miss team. Ole Miss is 12-13 and have lost three straight games. They have covered just four of their last 11 games. Ole Miss has the SEC's 12th ranked offense and 13th ranked defense. There isn't much good to find about this Ole Miss team. Yet, here they are laying points on Tuesday. That's too much for me to pass on, I'll take the points with South Carolina. |

02-14-22 | Raptors -4 v. Pelicans | 90-120 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
The Toronto Raptors having a fine season but finally had their winning streak snapped last game on Saturday by Denver, 109-110 as a 4.5-point favorite. That loss snapped a eight game win streak both S/U and ATS. They are now 31-24 S/U on the season and 31-23-1 vs the spread. The New Orleans Pelicans are not having a good season at just 22-34 overall and 28-28 ATS. The Pelicans have lost two straight games both S/U and ATS, including their last game at home to the Spurs, 114-124, as a 6-point favorite. The Pelicans also continue to play without forward Zion Williamson who is out indefinitely with a foot injury. Raptors just playing too good of late to pass on here tonight. Take Toronto. |

02-14-22 | Southern Utah +1.5 v. Northern Colorado | Top | 95-100 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
Southern Utah Thunderbirds bounced back after their loss last Monday to Montana with a win on Saturday at Sacramento State, 83-57, as a 7.5-point favorite. That makes the Birds 5-1 S/U and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games. Southern Utah will have revenge on their minds here tonight, having lost at home to Northern Colorado back on Jan 1st, 81-91. This is a good So Utah team, ranking 2nd in the conference in offense and 4th in defense. Hard to find any stat that this team hasn't done well at on either side of the ball. Northern Colorado Bears are 13-11 after having won three straight games to get above the .500 mark. The Bears are coming off a win at Sacramento State, 61-79, as a 6-point favorite. No Colorado has the conference's top ranked offense but only the 7th ranked defense. They allow a 10th ranked 3-point percentage on defense at 38.9%. With revenge and an overall better team, I'll take the visitors here tonight. Play Southern Utah. |
|||||||
02-13-22 | Northern Iowa +6.5 v. Loyola-Chicago | 58-85 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 1 m | Show | |
Northern Iowa Panthers look to extend their win streak to six games here today at Loyola Chicago. The Panthers are coming off a win over Southern Illinois, 53-44, as a 6.5-point favorite. They have also covered their last four games. The Panthers are a very well balanced team, 2nd in offense and third in defense in the conference. They have the best free throw shooting team in the conference and 2nd best 2-point shooting team. The defense is also solid, at the top of the conference in many categories. Loyola is 18-5 S/U and 8-11-3 ATS on the season. While this team wins games, they have some trouble covering them. They are just 1-4-2 ATS their last seven games and 3-6-3 ATS their last 12 games. Like NIU, they are ranked near the top of the conference in most offensive and defensive categories. This looks to match two very good teams against each other, but NIU does a way better job covering spreads. I'll take the visitors in this one. Play Northern Iowa. |
|||||||
02-12-22 | Nuggets v. Raptors -3.5 | 110-109 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets look to rebound from their loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday. The Nuggets led a lot of that game only to fall behind and push or lose to the spread late in a 102-108 loss as a 6-point dog. Now the Nuggets have to turn around and play the second of a back-to-back set here tonight at Toronto. They haven't done well in this spot, going 1-5-1 ATS the last seven times they have had not rest. Meanwhile, Toronto has covered 10 of their last 12 home games as a favorite. They are also 15-3 ATS their last 18 games at home and 13-3 ATS with 1-day rest. The Raptors have been hot too, winning their last eight games in a row both S/U and ATS. The one issue they face is that they could be without PG Fred VanVleet tonight as he is questionable with a groin injury. Either way, I like them tonight against a tired Denver team. Play Toronto. |
|||||||
02-12-22 | Hofstra v. Delaware +1.5 | 80-66 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Hofstra looks to extend their three game win streak here tonight at Delware. The Hofstra Pride are 16-9 Overall on the season and 13-10 ATS. Hofstra is 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Hofstra has the 6th rated offense and 4th rated defense in the conference. The Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens are 16-8 S/U and 10-13 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over Northeastern, 74-61, as a 5.5-point favorite. Delaware has the top rated offense in the conference. They also have the top 2-point shooting team with a 57.7% and 4th ranked 3-point team with a 37.1% mark. I'm looking for Delaware to use that top offense here today and take this game with the cover. |

They are coming off the upset win over St Mary's, 77-72 as a 3.0-point dog. The Santa Clara team is well balanced with the 4th ranked defense and 5th ranked offense in the conference. Santa Clara is a 1-point dog here tonight so really just have to pick the winner. I like the hosts here today. Play Santa Clara. |

02-12-22 | Fordham +3 v. Duquesne | Top | 65-54 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
Road Warrior Game of the Week: The Fordham Rams don't have a lot to be happy about this year with a 9-12 record. They are coming off a pair of losses, including last game at St Bonaventure, 51-76 as a 12.5-point dog. The Rams have covered two of their last three games and four of their last six games.This is a decent defensive team, ranking 79 overall in the nation and 5th in conference. The Duquesne Dukes are just 6-15 overall on the season and 7-14 ATS. Duquesne has lost eight straight games and covered just one of those. The Dukes are near the bottom of the conference in both offense and defense. They have a league worst 45% field goal percentage. They allow the most 3-point field goals in the conference also, 41.8%. Two teams that are not good, but Fordham has a decent defense and that will be the difference here today. Play Fordham. |

02-12-22 | Rutgers +8.5 v. Wisconsin | 73-65 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
Big 10 action has Rutgers taking on Wisconsin from Madison. Wisconsin leads the Big 10 with a 10-3 conference mark while Rutgers comes in at 6th with a 8-5 mark. Rutgers Scarlet Knights are 14-9 S/U and have won two straight and three of their last four games. They have also covered three straight games. The Knights are coming off a win over Ohio State, 66-64 as a 3-point dog. The Rutgers offense isn't the best, 10th in Big 10, but the defense has been excellent ranked 3rd overall in the Big 10. Wisconsin is 19-4 overall and is coming off a pair of wins including last game at Michigan State, 70-62, as a 4-point dog. However, the Badgers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games. Surprisingly, Rutgers has a better overall defense than this Wisconsin team that ranks 4th in the conference. They also rank 8th overall in the Big 10 in offense. Should be a good, low scoring game here tonight. I'll take the points with the dog in this one. Play Rutgers. |

02-11-22 | Fresno State +6 v. Colorado State | 50-65 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |

CSU is 3rd with a 8-3 conference mark and 18-3 overall record. Fresno is coming off a loss to Wyoming, 59-61, as a 4-point favorite. Fresno has the 2nd best offense and the 4th best defense in the Mountain West. They are either first or 2nd in the conference in 3-point field goals, free throw percentage and blocks. The defense is also good. The Rams have won two straight games after dropping two in a row. That includes a win last game at Nevada, 82-72, as a 6-point favorite. Despite being higher in the conference standings, CSU has a offense ranked 5th and a defense at 6th in the conference. The one area they are best in is Free throws where they hit 76.9%. Both teams are very good, but CSU laying 6-points seems a bit on the high side. I'll take the dog here tonight. |

St Bonaventure Bonnies are 13-7 S/U and 6-13-1 ATS on the season. They snapped a 2-game losing streak last time out with a win over Fordham, 76-51, as a 12.5-point favorite. Still, that makes them just 1-4 ATS in their last five games. The Bonnies have a decent offense, ranked 5th in the conference though the defense comes in 7th overall. The St Louis Billikens are 17-6 S/U and have won six straight games and covered five of those. They are also 11-3 S/U and 9-4 ATS overall at home this season. The Billikens have the 2nd ranked offense in the conference and the 3rd ranked defense. They are 2nd in the conference in Free Throw percentage (78.6) and 1st in offensive rebounds. The defense has the top 2-point defensive unit, holding opponents to just 42.1% on the season. This Billikens team is very well balanced and I'll lay the price tonight with them. |

It's West vs East tonight as the Denver Nuggets hit the road for a East Coast two-game swing starting tonight in Boston. Always seems tougher on the West teams going East as we have tonight. Denver is 30-24 overall and 23-30-1 ATS on the season. They have won two straight games after dropping the previous three. Denver is just 9-19 ATS in their last 28 road games vs a team with a winning home record. The Boston Celtics look to extend their win streak to seven games tonight. They have won six straight and eight of their last nine games. They have also covered six of their last nine games. Boston is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. They are also 13-5-1 ATS the last 19 meetings with the Nuggets in Boston. I'll lay the points here tonight with Boston. |

The Hawks have lost nine straight games and are just 1-7-1 ATS their last nine games. The offense is bad, 318th overall in the country and 8th in the conference. The defense also ranks 8th in the conference. Basically just have to pick the S/U winner here today and for me that's Tennessee Martin. |

Marshall is having a bad season with a 8-15 overall record. The Thundering Herd aren't doing any better vs the spread with a 4-17 ATS mark. Marshall is just 1-12 S/U and ATS their last 13 games. Marshall has the 12th ranked offense in the conference and the 13th ranked defense. That could get even worse today as Marshall could be without a key player, as Taevion Kinsey is questionable with a foot injury. Kinsey is their starting guard and averages 20.2 ppg this season. Take Florida International. |

02-09-22 | Loyola-Chicago v. Bradley +4.5 | 61-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |

They have also covered their last two games, but are only 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games. Memphis laying 10-points here tonight seems way too much to such a good offensive team as Tulane. I don't see how the Tigers can cover such a big number. Play Tulane. |

American Athletic Conference matchup here today as the Houston Cougars take on the SMU Mustangs. The Cougars are having a fine season with a 20-2 S/U record and 14-8 ATS mark. They are coming off a win and cover at Cincinnati, 80-58, as a 6.5-point favorite. Statistically this Houston team is very good on both sides of the ball. If there is a knock against them it's their 3-point shooting, where they are just 31.5%, which is 9th in the conference. SMU also having a nice season at 16-5 S/U and 10-11 ATS. The Mustangs are coming off a loss at Wichita State, 57-72 as a 1.5-point dog. That loss snapped a five game win streak and 13-1 run for SMU. This team is a perfect 11-0 S/U at home this year and here they are at home getting 7-points. I'll take the SMU club on their home court tonight. |

02-09-22 | Oakland -2.5 v. Youngstown State | 71-78 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Oakland Golden Grizzlies are 16-7 S/U and 12-9 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies look to snap a 2-game losing streak here tonight at Youngstown State. Oakland has also failed to cover five straight spread games as they are coming off a loss at Wright State, 64-75 as a 2-point dog. Youngstown State Penguins are 14-10 S/U and 11-11 ATS on the season. They have won four straight games and covered three of those, including last time out at Illinois Chicago, 66-64 as a 2.5-point dog. The Penguins have the 4th best offense in the conference and third best 3-point shooting team (34.9%). The defense isn't great, but it's not terrible either. Getting some points here at home with YS is worth the shot. Play Youngstown State. |

02-08-22 | Utah State +1.5 v. Wyoming | 76-78 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Later action on the college hard court has Utah State taking on Wyoming in Mountain West action. The Utah State Aggies are 15-9 S/U and 13-10 ATS on the season. The Aggies have won five straight games, including last time out vs UNLV, 90-75 as a 9-point favorite. They have also covered four of their last five games. Utah State is one of the best offenses in the country, ranked 29th in efficiency. They are 3rd in that category in the Mountain West. They have the best 2-point FG% in the conference with a 59.2% mark. The defense is just as good, ranked 3rd in conference play. Wyoming having an excellent season with a 19-3 S/U mark and 13-6-2 spread record. The Cowboys have won four straight games and 10 of their last 11. The offense is ranked 1st in the Mountain West overall and top two or three in field goal percentages from two and three points. If this team has any issues is on defense, where they are 7th overall. The Cowboys not as well balanced as the Aggies. Should be a close, hard fought game tonight but I'll take Utah State to come out on top. |

02-08-22 | Missouri +8.5 v. Vanderbilt | 62-70 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
The Missouri Tigers not having the kind of season they would have hoped for with just a 9-13 S/U record and 11-10 ATS mark. They are coming off a road win at Texas A&M, 70-66, as a 10-point dog. That made two straight covers and a 6-1 ATS mark their last seven games. The Vanderbilt Commodores are 12-10 S/U and 11-11 ATS on the season. Vandy is coming off a win over LSU, 75-66, as a 3-point dog. They have also covered two straight games. January wasn't very good for Vandy as they were 3-5 S/U and 2-6 ATS in the month. This Vandy team is not very good on offense, evidence by their 11th ranking overall in the conference. Their 2-point FG% is only 48.5% (10th) and they hit only 63.8% of their free throws (13th). Laying points with a poor free throw team can be disaster down the stretch. I'll take this Missouri team here on Tuesday. |

02-08-22 | Clippers v. Grizzlies -7.5 | 109-135 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
The LA Clippers continue to play without their two big stars as F Paul George (elbow) and F Kawhi Leonard (knee) are both out indefinitely. The Clippers look to get back to the .500 mark tonight as they play at Memphis. The Clippers are 27-28 S/U and 24-30-1 ATS. They are coming off a loss at home to Milwaukee, 113-137, as a 4-point dog. They have also lost three straight games vs the spread. The Grizzlies continue to be one of the best in the NBA with their 37-18 S/U and 36-19 ATS record. The Grizzlies have won and covered two straight games, including their lat game at Orlando, 135-115, as a 8.5-point favorite. The Grizzlies have also covered five of their last six games overall. The Grizzlies should have little troubles here on Tuesday night. Play Memphis. |

02-08-22 | Kentucky v. South Carolina +10.5 | 86-76 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
SEC action tonight has Kentucky traveling to South Carolina to take on the Gamecocks. The Wildcats are 19-4 S/U and 11-12 ATS on the year. They have won four straight games including last time out at Alabama, 66-55 as a 1-point dog. They haven't covered very well of late though, going just 2-4 ATS their last six and 4-6 ATS their last 10 games. Kentucky has the fifth best offense in the country and 11th best defense. They are 2nd in both categories in conference play. They have the best FG% (52.1%) and best 3-point FG% (37.5%). South Carolina is 13-9 overall on the season and 10-11 ATS. They have lost two straight game both S/U and ATS including last game vs Tennessee, 57-81 as a 7.5-point dog. The Gamecocks are 9-3 S/U and 6-5 ATS at home. USC getting double digits at home here tonight. Kentucky should win fairly easily here tonight, but I believe this is just a bit too many point for them to cover on the road. I'll take the home dog. |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Marquette +6 v. Connecticut | 72-80 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
The Marquette Golden Eagles are 16-7 S/U and 15-8 ATS on the season. The Eagles have been a bettors delight of late, covering nine straight games. They are also 8-1 S/U during that time. The Eagles have the third best offense in the conference and the best defense. They are holding opponents to just 29.6% from three-point land (best in conference) and 43.9% from two-pointers (4th best). This is a very well balanced Marquette team. The Connecticut Huskies are 15-6 overall on the season and look to snap a 2-game losing streak both S/U and ATS here tonight. They are coming off a loss at Villanova, 74-85 as a 4-point dog. The Huskies have the 2nd best offense in the conference and 5th best defense. I see these two teams as very evenly matched and not U Conn a 6-point better team as the line hovers at now. Play Marquette. |
|||||||
02-07-22 | Raptors v. Hornets +2 | 116-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |

They are also coming off a home win over Charlotte on Jan 25th, 125-113 as 2.5-point favorite. Charlotte looks to get back in the win column tonight after losing four straight games, including Saturday's game at home to Miami, 86-104 as a 3-point dog. Charlotte also has 28 wins on the season but 26 losses. They are 15-9 vs the number on their home court. Charlotte has done well in this series, going 5-1 ATS the last five meetings with the Raptors. Moreover, they are 12-6 ATS in their last 18 meetings in Charlotte. I'll take the Hornets here tonight. |

02-07-22 | Virginia v. Duke -11 | 69-68 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Duke looks to hold top spot in the ACC today as they host Virginia. Duke is 9-2 in conference play and holds a half game lead over Notre Dame. The Blue Devils are 19-3 overall on the season. Virginia is 6th in conference play with a 8-5 record and 14-9 overall mark. Virginia Cavaliers brings a 2-game win streak both S/U and ATS into today's contest. The Cavs are coming off a win at home over Miami Florida, 71-58 as a 4-point favorite. Duke is 5-0 and 4-1 ATS since their last loss on Jan 18th to Florida State. The one thing you want with a big favorite is a team that makes free throws. Duke is laying 12-points here today and they are 14th in the conference in free throw percentage at 68.1%. Duke is the better team, but will they make the free throws when they need them? I'll take the points with Virginia here today. |

02-07-22 | George Mason +8 v. Richmond | 59-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
George Mason and Richmond both looking to move up in the Atlantic 10 conference standings. George Mason is 6th with a 4-3 conference record and 11-9 overall mark. Richmond is 5th in the A-10 with a 6-4 mark and 15-8 overall record. GM Patriots look to snap a 2-game losing streak here today. The Pats are coming off a loss at LaSalle, 78-83 as a 2-point favorite. The strength of this Mason team is offense, they rank 3rd in the conference in overall offense and 1st in effective FG%. They are also first in the conference in 3-point fg% with a 41.2 mark. Richmond brings a 2-game win streak into today's contest. They are coming off a win over St Bonaventure, 71-61 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Spiders are also a decent offense, ranked 5th in the conference. Unlike Mason, they are last in the conference in 3-point FG% with a 29.6 mark. Both teams can put up some offense, but getting these points is too hard to pass on today. Play George Mason. |
|||||||
02-07-22 | NC-Wilmington +7 v. Hofstra | Top | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
Colonial Athletic Association matchup here today has UNC Wilmington taking on Hofstra. Wilmington holds the top stop in the conference with a 10-1 record and 16-6 overall mark. Hoftra comes in at 4th with a 6-4 record and 14-9 overall mark. Wilmington Seahawks rebounded from their loss on Thursday with a win at William & Mary, 92-70 as a 5.5-point road favorite. That makes 13 wins in their last 14 games. They are also an excellent covering team with a 12-1 ATS mark their last 13 games. Wilmington has the best offense in the conference and also is 2nd in free throws and 3rd in 3-point percentage. The Hofstra Pride are 14-9 S/U and 12-9 ATS. The snapped a two-game losing streak with a win last games vs James Madison, 85-78, but failed to cover the 7.5-point line. That makes three straight without covering. The Pride have the conferences 6th ranked offense and 4th ranked defense. They are first in 2-point field goal percentage (58.2%) and 1st in free throw percentage. I see this game as a very close one, yet the Pride are laying 7-points. Too many in my opinion. Play NC Wilmington. |

02-06-22 | Loyola-Chicago v. Missouri State +2 | 71-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
Two of the best teams in the Missouri Valley Conference meet here today. Top seeded Loyola Chicago comes in with a 8-2 conference record and 17-4 overall mark. Missouri State is 3rd in the conference with a 8-3 conference record and 17-7 overall mark. Not much bad you can say about this Loyola team. They ahve the four ranked offense and 1st ranked defense in the conference. The Ramblers rebounded from their loss on Jan 30th at Drake, 68-77, with a home win over Illinois State, 78-64 as a 14.5-point home favorite. They have had some issues covering spreads, failing to do so in their last five games and eight of their last nine games. They will be laying 2-points to Missouri State today. The Bears are 17-7 and have won two straight games and six of their last seven. They have also covered four of their last six games. The Bears have the top rated offense in the conference and the second best field goal percentage (54.5%). They also shoot 3's well with the 2nd best percentage of 35.8 percent. Should be a great game, but I'm taking the small points with the home team in this one. Play Missouri State. |

02-06-22 | Manhattan +2.5 v. Canisius | Top | 70-77 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 18 m | Show |
Metro Atlantic game here on Sunday has Manhattan taking on Canisius. The Manhattan Jaspers are 11-8 S/U and 8-8-2 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at Niagara, 74-80, as a 4.5-point dog. The good news for Manhattan is that they have already beaten this Canisius team once, 80-75. They also face the worst offensive team in the conference in Canisius. Canisius is also the worst free throw shooting team in the Metro Atlantic. There's actually not much to find plus marks with Canisius on either offense or defense as their defense ranks 9th in conference play. Manhattan does have some positives in conference play as they rank 6th in offense, third in 2-point field goal percentage and 4th in free throw percentage. Canisius Griffins just 7-16 on the season and have lost four straight games. Not sure how they are a 2-point favorite here today. I like Manhattan to win this game outright. Play Manhattan. |

02-05-22 | SMU +2 v. Wichita State | 57-72 | Loss | -113 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
The SMU Mustangs bring a five game sin streak into this afternoons contest at Wichita State. The Mustangs are also 13-1 over their last 14 games. They have also covered nine of their last 12 games. SMU is in the top three in the conference in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Their only knock is turnovers as they are 9th in the league. Wichita State Shockers are 12-8 S/U and 8-11 ATS on the season. While the Shockers have won eight of 12 at home, they have only covered four of those games. Unfortunately, they 7th in offensive efficiency and 8th in defensive efficiency. They do have the best free throw shooting team in the conference. Not enough though to make up for this lack of power on both sides of the ball. Play SMU. |
|||||||
02-05-22 | Troy State +1.5 v. Georgia Southern | 61-52 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
The Troy Trojans are 15-7 this season and have a two-game win streak as they head into play today. The Trojans are coming off a win at Georgia State, 67-63 as a 6.5-point dog. That makes them 5-2 ATS in their last seven games. The Trojans are in the top third in the nation in defense. However, in conference play they have the best defensive efficiency and the 2nd best defensive FG% of 44%. the offense could be better though as they rank in the bottom third of the conference. Georgia Southern is 11-9 overall on the season and have won three games both S/U and ATS. The win streak snapped a three game losing streak and five of six losing streak. The Eagles offense is bad, especially in conference where they rank dead last in efficiency, 3-point field goals (24.5%) and Free throws (63.8%). The defense is fair but nothing great. It's this offense that worries me, especially when they are laying points as they are today. I'll take Troy. |
|||||||
02-05-22 | Middle Tennessee +11 v. UAB | 75-97 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are 14-6 after winning five straight games as they head to UAB today. The Raiders are coming off a win at Western Kentucky, 93-85 as a 6-point dog. They have covered five of their last six games. The defense is very good, especially in conference play where they are ranked 3rd in efficiency, 1st in turnovers, 3rd in 3-point field goals allowed and 1st in blocks. The offense isn't anything great, but they are about middle of the pack. The UAB Blazers are 17-5 S/U on the season and look to rebound from a loss in their last game at Marshall, 81-84 as a 10.5-point favorite. That loss was only their second in their last 10 games. UAB is near the top of the conference in both offense and defense. This is a solid performing team. Still, laying double digits to a decent Mid Tenn State team is more than I believe they can cover. Play Mid Tennessee State. |
|||||||
02-05-22 | Notre Dame +1.5 v. NC State | 69-57 | Win | 100 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hope to build on their win at Miami Florida last game, 68-64 as a 4.5-point favorite. The Irish have now covered eight of their last 10 games. The Irish have the 4th ranked defensive efficiency in the ACC this year. They also have a very good 3-point defense, ranked 2nd in the conference. The Irish have now lost just two times in their last 13 games. NC State not having a good year at just 10-13 overall and riding a three game losing streak. They have also lost five of their last six overall and covered just one of their last six games. The Pack have one of the worst defenses in the country, ranked 248th in defensive efficiency, 291st in defensive FG% and 300th in rebounding. Those numbers get even worse in conference where they are last in all three. I look for Notre Dame to take care of business here today. |

Horizon league action here on Saturday has Youngstown State taking on Illinois Chicago. The Youngstown State Penguins are 6th in the conference right now with a 7-6 conference record and 13-10 overall mark. The Penguins look to win their fourth straight game here today after beating IUPUI last Thursday, 61-55. Though they failed to cover the 12.05 point road line they are still 4-2 ATS their last six games. Illinois Chicago Flames not having a good year as they sit 8th in the conference with a 4-7 record and 8-12 overall mark. They are coming off a home win over Robert Morris, 80-75, but failed to cover the 5.5 point line. That win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Flames and they are just 1-4 ATS their last five games. They haven't been all that good at home either, going 3-5 S/u and 2-5 ATS. Not sure why Illinois Chicago is laying 1.5-points here today. I think the oddsmaker has the wrong favorite and I'll take those points. Play Youngstown State. |

They have covered five of their last six games. Wake has both a good offense and defense, ranked 39th in offense and 64th in defense. In the ACC those are both good for 2nd overall. They also have the best 2-point defense in conference games and best offensive 2-point field goal percentage at 62%). Florida State is 13-8 S/U and brings a 3-game losing streak both S/U and ATS into today's contest. The Seminoles have not done well in conference play, with both the 11th ranked offense and defense efficiency. They also have the 14th ranked conference effective defensive FG% of 54.5%. Their isn't much to be excited about this Seminoles team. Take Wake Forest. |

While the Thunder aren't winning many games S/U they are 4-1 ATS their last five and and 8-3-1 ATS their last 12 games. The Portland Trailblazers look to snap a 3-game losings streak here tonight. They have also lost three straight vs the spread. The Thunder are now 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games. Portland is 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. I like the Thunder to continue their covering here tonight. |

The Colorado State Rams are 16-3 S/U and 9-9 ATS on the season. The Rams are looking to get back on the win column after losing two games in row both S/U and ATS. The Rams are also just 3-6 ATS their last nine games. These teams met back on January 8th in San Diego with the Aztecs winning 79-49 as a 2-point favorite. I like the Aztecs again here tonight getting some points. Play San Diego State. |

They are coming off a win at Duquesne, 74-57 as a 7-point road dog. That makes them 4-1 S/U their last five games and ATS. I like Richmond tonight as the Bonnies just don't cover many spreads. Play Richmond. |

02-03-22 | San Jose State +20.5 v. Utah State | 62-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
San Jose State likely not going anywhere this year with their 7-13 record. However, they do have a 10-9 ATS mark on the season and 5-4 ATS on the road. This will be the biggest dog so far this year that the Spartans will be in the PAC-12 conference play. Utah State is 13-9 S/U on the season and they have won three straight games both S/U and ATS. That small win streak coming after they lost four straight games. The Aggies are coming off a win at home against Air Force, 73-46 as a 15-point favorite. While the Aggies should win this one pretty easily, I believe this is just too many points to lay. Take the big dog here on San Jose State. |

02-03-22 | NC-Wilmington -1 v. Elon | Top | 65-78 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
UNC Wilmington Seahawks have improved to 15-5 overall on the season thanks to their current 12-game winning streak. But what is most impressive is that they have covered the spread in ALL 12 of those games too. That includes their last game at home over Drexel, 70-63 as a 2-point favorite. The Hawks are now 6-3 S/U and 5-3-1 ATS overall on the road this season. The Elon Phoenix have struggled to their 6-16 S/U record. They are coming off a loss at William & Mary, 61-65, as a 3-point road favorite. That makes them 2-6 S/U and 3-5 ATS in their last 12 games. While Elong is 6-3 S/U at home this year, they are just 3-4 ATS. You know Wilmington's streak will end, but I'm playing until it does. Play UNC Wilmington. |

The Badgers lost on the 21st of January to Michigan State, 74-86, their only loss in the last 10 games. They have also covered five of their last eight games, though they have lost three straight. The Illinois Fighting Illini are 15-5 S/U and 9-11 ATS on the season. They have won two straight games, including their last game at Northwestern, 59-56 as a 5.5-point favorite. They have failed to cover their last four spreads though. I was a bit surprised to see a +7 line on Wisconsin here. This is a team that has only lost three times on the season. The Badgers are also 5-1 S/U and 4-2 ATS on the road. I'll take those points with Wisconsin here tonight. |

However, that was just their second win in their last eight games. Moreover, they are 3-4 ATS in their last seven games. Memphis much better at this juncture than the Knicks are.

01-30-22 | 49ers +3.5 v. Rams | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 64 h 20 m | Show | |
The San Francisco 49ers hope their recent success against the LA Rams carries over into today's contest as these two teams play for the right to go to the Super Bowl. The 49ers have beaten the Rams six straight games. The dog has also covered this matchup the last six straight games. The 49ers got to this game with a win last week at Green Bay, 13-10. The 49ers offense wasn't very good in the extreme cold with just 106 yards rushing and 212 total yards. However, special teams made the difference with a blocked punt for a touchdown. Despite not having an offensive TD, the 49ers were good enough on defense and special teams. The Niners also blocked a Mason Crosby field goal. The Rams got here with a win at top seeded Tampa Bay last week, 30-27. The Rams looked like they would run away with this game, leading 27-3 at the half. But Tom Brady has a knack of bringing back teams and he did it again as they tied the game at 27 all. But Matthew Stafford did his own Brady impersonation and led the Rams to a field goal with just 42 seconds left on the clock. Stafford threw for 36 yards and two TD's. As for today's contest. I can't overlook the hold the 49ers have on the Rams of late. Plus I get 3 or 3 1/2 points. I'll take the points here with the 49ers. |

01-30-22 | Bengals v. Chiefs -7 | 27-24 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 39 m | Show | |
Cincinnati pulled off one of the two big upsets over the last weekend as they upended the top seed in the AFC, Tennessee by a 19-16 margin. Tennessee looked to be moving toward the game winning score late in the 4th when QB Tannehill threw an interception around mid-field. The Bengals moved the ball into field goal position and scored the game winning field goal. The Bengals held the Titans to just 353 total yards in the game despite the return of Derrek Henry. Now the Bengals have only the Chiefs in their way if they want to get to the Super Bowl. What can you say about the Chiefs win over the Bills, 42-36 other then Wow! Both teams combined for over 20 points and four lead changes in the final two minutes of the game. The Chiefs had to go over 40 yards in 10 seconds of regulation just to get the tying field goal and force the OT. Personally, the Bills might have had the worst coaching I've seen at the end of a game I've seen by allowing that to happen. Hard to go against the Cheifs at home in the playoffs as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven in that role. They have also covered eight of their last 10 games overall. I just don't have the faith in Burrows and the Bengals who haven't been in this position for over 30 years. Meanwhile we have Mahomes and the Chiefs who have won big games like this. I'll take the experience here today with the Chiefs. |

01-30-22 | Quinnipiac +2.5 v. Siena | 76-85 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
The Quinnipiac Bobcats got back on the winning track last game at home against Marist, 94-87 as a pick'em play. That was the team's fourth win in five nights and they are 3-1-1 ATS in those five games. The Cats are a small road dog here, something have been five times this year and they are 2-3 S/U and 3-2 ATS. The Siena Saints look to get back to the .500 mark here today with a win. The Saints are 7-8 S/U and ATS on the season. They snapped a two-game losing streak in their last game at home in a win over Niagara, 600-56 as a 2.5-point favorite. Not sure the Saints should be laying any points here, but that's ok, I'll take the points with Quinnipiac. |

01-30-22 | Fordham +2.5 v. George Washington | 55-64 | Loss | -109 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
Fordham looks to get back to the .500 mark today with their game at George Washington. The Rams are 8-9 on the season and have also lost four straight games. However, they have covered their last two games and eight of their last 10 games. George Washington Colonials are not having a good season at just 6-12 overall. They are doing slightly better vs the number at 7-10-1 ATS. The Colonials are 2-4 S/U and 3-3 ATS in their last six games. Getting a few points with Fordham looks good to me. Play Fordham here early on Sunday. |

Western Athletic Conference action late on the Saturday slate has fourth place Grand Canyon taking on third place New Mexico State. The Grand Canyon Antelopes are 14-4 overall and 5-2 in conference play. They will look to snap a 2-game losing streak here tonight after losing a pair of road games including last out at Sam Houston, 56-58, narrowly missing the -1.5 point cover. Those two losses were after a six-game win streak that also was 4-1 vs the spread. New Mexico State is 16-3 overall on the season and 6-1 in conference play. They have won 11 of their last 12 games and covered seven of their last 10 games. The Aggies are coming off a win at SF Austin, 72-58 as a 2-point dog. Both teams are very good but I'll take the points with the visitors in this one. |
