Duke looked like the Duke of old yesterday as they demolished the Boston College Eagles, 86-51 in the opening round of the ACC tournament. Duke has had a rough year at just 12-11 S/U and 8-15 ATS. The Blue Devils snapped a three-game losing streak with that win, both S/U and ATS. Though Tuesday's game went Under, no thanks to BC, the Devils have still seen six of their last seven go over and nine of their last 11. Louisville plays their first tourney game today. They were 12-6 S/U and 9-9 ATS on the regular season. The Cardinals lost their last game at home to Virginia, 58-68. Louisville took both games from Duke this year. They won 70-65 at home as a 2-point favorite and then won at Duke, 80-73 in OT as a 5.5-point dog at the end of February. This will only be Louisville's 2nd game in March so could be some rust here for the Cardinal. I don't believe the Cardinals can beat Duke three times in one season. I'll lay the small number with the Blue Devils. Play Duke. |

Both games they were a favorite of fewer then 2-points. Yet today on a neutral court they are 2 1/2 point favorites. Tough to beat a team three times in one season. I'll take the small dog here with Oakland. |

Colonial Conference Championship game here today at Harrisonburg, VA has Elon and Drexel both looking to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament. Loser may be done for the year as both teams fair to midland at best. Elon has advanced with wins over Towson, James Madison and yesterday over Hofstra, 76-58. The latter two both as dogs. They have extended their ATS win streak to seven games now. The Drexel Dragons have advanced with wins over College of Charleston and yesterday over Northeastern, 74-67. Drexel laying 4.5 points here today and for me that's too many points to a team that can win this game outright. Play ELON. |

Texas Tech has made a quiet impression this year to the tune of a 17-8 record a reason for them to be invited to the NCAA tournament. The Red Raiders have won three straight games both S/U and ATS. The Raiders played Baylor back on Jan 16th and lost at home 60-68, failing to cover the 4.5 point dog spread. Baylor is 20-1 and really has little motivation to win this game. The Bears will be in the NCAA tournament. Their recent form shows they are doing little more than winning straight up. They had their only loss of the season on Feb 27 at Kansas, 58-71. They have covered just one of their last six games. The Bears laying around 8-points here today. I look for Tech to give them all they can handle as the game means more to the visitor in this one.

The Bulldogs will have to go the rest of the way without one of their best players in ShanQuan Hemphill who is out with a foot injury. That has impacted this team in recent weeks. Loyola Chicago Ramblers are 23-4 S/U and 15-9-1 ATS. The Ramblers have won five straight and 15 of their last 16 games. In their two games at Drake, they split, winning the first 81-54 and losing the second, 50-51. Drake will need to keep this score low to have a shot of winning. I like Loyola much more and Drake can take consolation that they will make the NCAA's anyways. Play Loyola Chicago. |

Iowa State is hoping for a fast end to this horrible season. The Cyclones are have just two wins against 20 losses.

Kansas State also looking forward to rebuilding next year as they sit 7-19 on the season. They have won two of their last three games both S/U and ATS. Don't expect a lot of points in this game as neither team scores much. But the line is low enough for me to be on the host here today. Play Kansas State. |

The LSU Tigers are 15-8 S/U and 10-13 ATS on the season. The Tigers won't likely be in the NCAA tourney, but should make one of the lesser tournaments. The Tigers snapped a two-game losing streak last time out with a win over Vanderbilt, 83-68. The Missouri Tigers are 15-7 and pretty much in the same boat as LSU. They have lost four of their last six games both S/U and ATS. Both teams struggling a bit, so I'll be on the dog here today. Play LSU. |

However, that doesn't look good at a descent Purdue team here today and the fact that they have lost four straight games both S/U and ATS. Purdue hoping for a NCAA bid with their 17-8 record, but they need every win at this point. The Boilermakers have won their last four games both S/U and ATS. Two teams going in opposite directions here today. Play Purdue. |

They have won five of their last six and covered five in a row. One issue though will be the availability of Guard Cade Cunningham, who is questionable today for the Cowboys with a ankle injury. West Virginia is 18-7 S/U and 13-12 ATS on the season. The Mountaineers are coming off a win over TCU, 76-67, but failed to cover the 13-point line. They are now 4-1 ATS in their last five games and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games. I'll lay the points with West Virginia here today. |

02-28-21 | Nevada +7.5 v. Utah State | 66-87 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
The late game on the board today has the Nevada Wolfpack playing the second of a back-to-back spot at Utah State Aggies here tonight. The Pack trailed big at times in their first game at Utah State. However, they rallied late to close the gap, but still came up on the short end of a 72-75 final score. They did cover the 9-point spread, their fifth cover in a row. The loss was also their first after winning four straight. Utah State improved to 15-7 with that win. The win also snapped a two game losing streak, both at Boise State. However, despite the win, they have failed to cover any of their last three games and are just 2-5 ATS in their last five. I like the points once again here on Sunday. Play Nevada. |

02-28-21 | North Dakota State -1 v. South Dakota | Top | 89-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 42 m | Show |
The South Dakota Coyotes where having a decent season at 13-9 S/U and 9-11-1 ATS. They have won two straight games, the last over today's North Dakota State team, 80-71, covering the 1.5 point spread. However, they could be without their best player here today in AJ Plitzuweit who was injured and likely out the rest of the season in the N.Dakota State win. The Coyotes are only one win away from the Summit league title and No 1 seed in their conference tournament. But the loss of Plitzuweit to a knee injury has really put a damper on their season. AJ Plitzuweit average 19 points per game this year and was injured late in their game. This is a huge loss for the Coyotes, one I am not sure they can rebound from. Perfect situation for North Dakota State to get the win here today. |

02-28-21 | Iowa v. Ohio State -2 | 73-57 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |

They had covered five straight games before their recent skid. I like Ohio State to bounce back here today. Play Ohio State. |

Maryland has won four straight games, but those have come with two wins over Nebraska, Rutgers and Minnesota. They are 3-5 ATS in their last eight games. Michigan State has been a tough team to gauge at times this year. They have either played really well or really poor. Lately it's been the former, with three straight wins and covers to improve to 13-9 on the season. The Spartans beat three of the best in the Big 10, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio State. I'll take a chance that the Dr Jekyl and not the Mr Hyde shows up here today. Play Michigan State. |

The Missouri State Bears improved to 15-5 last night with a win over this same Evansville team. The Bears shot nearly 70% from the field en route to their 90-81 win. They also hit 68% from 3-point arc. The defense could do better though, allowing 51% from the field and 47.6% from 3-point arc to Evansville. Still, it was the team's seventh straight win and they are 6-0-1 ATS during that streak. Evansville lost its seven in a row and is 2-4-1 during that span.

The Tide are coming off a loss at Arkansas, 66-81 as a 2-point dog. The Mississippi State Bulldogs have climbed to 13-11 on the season after two straight wins. The Dogs have a stingy defense and that's what gets them covers. They allow just 65.6 ppg against them overall and 63.3 ppg at home. These teams met back on Jan 23rd in Alabama with the Tide winning 81-73, but failing to cover the 9.5 point line. If the Dogs can keep this score in the lower range, they get the cover here tonight.

While they have little chance of winning this game S/U, they can cover this 20+ point spread. The Baylor Bears are 17-0 S/U and 13-4 ATS on the season. They are 5-3 ATS at home. The one issue that comes into play in this game is that Baylor won't be much interested in this contest. They have a big game coming up against No 10 West Virginia on Thursday. For me, this could be one of those "look ahead" games where the Bears will sit or rest some stars with their eyes on Thursday's game.

The Ducks have won three straight games (covering two). The Ducks defense has been excellent, holding opponents to just 67.0 ppg on the season and 63.4 ppg at home. The Ducks defense combined withe how poor Colorado has scored on the road has me on the home side here tonight. Play Oregon. |

02-17-21 | Kansas -13 v. Kansas State | 59-41 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
Two old rivals meet here today as Kansas takes on Kansas State. The Kansas Jayhawks are 15-7 S/U and 10-11 ATS on the season. The Hawks have won three straight games and four of their last five. Kansas State Wildcats not having a good season at just 5-17 S/U and 7-13 ATS on the year. Home has been much kinder at 4-11 S/U and 3-10 ATS. K State hasn't won a games since December 29. That means for 2021 they are 0-12 S/U and 5-7 ATS. Have to lay double digits here today with the Jayhawks, but I believe they are up to the challenge. Play Kansas. |

02-17-21 | Kentucky v. Vanderbilt +4 | 82-78 | Push | 0 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
Kentucky definitely not having a typical season for the Wildcats. They sit at just 6-13 S/U on the season with a 6-12-1 spread record. The Cats are coming off a home win over Auburn, 82-80 as a 2.5-point home dog. That snapped a four game losing streak. Still, the Cats are just 2-7 S/U and ATS their last nine games. Now they play at a Vanderbilt team that is 6-10 S/U 10-5-1 ATS on the year. The Commodores are also coming off a win that snapped a two-game losing streak. Still, they are just 2-8 S/U their last 10. The difference though from the Cats is that the Commodores are covering spreads. they are 4-0-1 their last five and 6-2-1 ATS their last nine games. Vandy finds themselves a 3.5-point home dog here today. That's good for the Commodores since the dog is 15-5-1 ATS the last 21 in this series. Play Vanderbilt. |

02-17-21 | NC State v. Pittsburgh -4 | 74-73 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
NC State Wolfpack looking to climb back to the .500 mark here early on Wednesday as they sit at 8-9 and take on Pitt. The Pack have lost two straight games, four of their last five and eight of the last 10. In addition, the Pack is just 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. On the road, this club is 1-5 S/U and 2-4 ATS. Pitt Panthers are 9-7 S/U and ATS on the season. The Panthers have also lost two straight games and five of their last six. They have covered two of the last three games though. The Wolfpack are just 2-6-1 ATS their last nine road games and 1-5-1 ATS their last nine on the road as the dog. Pitt has covered nine of their last 13 games and I like them on their home court here today. Play Pittsburgh. |

02-16-21 | Missouri v. Georgia +3.5 | 70-80 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Missouri Tigers are looking to snap their 2-game losing streak here on Tuesday at Georgia. The Tigers are coming off losses to Ole Miss and then last game at home to Arkansas, 81-86. The losses have dropped Missouri to 13-5 S/U and 10-8 ATS on the season. They are 4-3 S/U and ATS on the road this season. Missouri is just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games against a team with a winning home record. Georgia is 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as a dog. I'll take the points at home here with the Dogs. Play Georgia. |

02-14-21 | Valparaiso +6 v. Northern Iowa | 60-74 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Valparaiso looks for the 2-game sweep against Northern Iowa here on Sunday evening. Valpo Crusaders won yesterday's game with N.Iowa, 70-57 as they won outright and covered the 7-point dog spread. Northern Iowa Panthers saw their record drop to 6-14 S/U and 3-13-2 ATS on the season. Valpo was a 7-point dog yesterday and are 5 1/2 point dogs here today. Still, not sure Northern Iowa should be that big favorite over any team. I'll stick with Valpo here on Sunday. Play Valparaiso. |
|||||||
02-14-21 | Illinois State +4.5 v. Southern Illinois | 49-59 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
Illinois State Red Birds are just 6-14 S/U and 6-10-2 ATS on the season. The Birds are 2-8 S/U and 3-5-1 ATS on the road. They did beat Southern Illinois yesterday though, 80-55, a wipeout winner as a 5.5-point dog. Southern Illinois installed as another 5-point chalk here today despite the team winning just two of their last 11 games. They are also 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games. I don't see any reason Illinois State can't cover this spread on Sunday either. Play Illinois State. |
|||||||
02-14-21 | Bradley v. Missouri State -10 | 57-72 | Win | 100 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
Bradley looks to bounce back from their loss to this Missouri State team on Saturday, 58-80. These teams get no rest as they play again here on Sunday. Bradley has been in a slump of late, going 2-8 S/U and 1-7-2 in their last 10 games. Missouri State has won four straight and is 3-0-1 in their last four games as they improved to 13-5 overall on the season. I don's see any difference from yesterday as Bradley continues to struggle. Play Missouri State. |
|||||||
02-14-21 | Loyola-Chicago -5.5 v. Drake | 50-51 | Loss | -107 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
I had Loyola Chicago on Saturday and while they trailed at the half, they blew out Drake in the 2nd half for an easy win. Drake dropped to 19-2. That makes two blowout losses by Drake in their last three games. Loyola has now won 11 straight games and are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven road games. The issue here again today is how Drake will respond now that their best player, ShanQuan Hemphill, will remain out with his broken foot. I'm going to take the same as I did yesterday. Play Loyola Chicago. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | USC v. Washington State +8 | 76-65 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Very good PAC-12 matchup here tonight as Washington State hosts USC. The USC Trojans are 16-3 S/U and 11-8 ATS on the season. USC is also 5-1 S/U and 4-2 ATS on the road this season. The Trojans have won five straight games since their loss at Oregon State back on Jan 19th. The Washington State Cougars are having a decent season at 12-8 S/U and 10-8-2 ATS overall. The Cougars are 9-3 S/U and 5-6-1 ATS at home this season. They are also 3-2 ATS as a home dog. The Cougars have won three of their last four games including their last game over UCLA, 81-73. USC and UCLA are very comparable and if the Cougars can beat UCLA at home, not reason they can't at least cover this nice dog spread at home against the Trojans. Play Washington State. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | Fairfield +10.5 v. St. Peter's | 55-50 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
The Fairfield Stags are just 4-13 S/U and 6-10 ATS on the season. Though they did pull out the win last game vs Quinnipiac, 77-70 as a 3-point home dog. The Stags have covered two of their last three games as they head to St Peters today. The St Peters Peacocks are 9-6 S/U and 6-8-1 ATS overall on the season. They are 5-0 S/U at home and 3-2 ATS on the season. They have won two straight games, both over Manhattan, though they have covered just two of their last 10 games. The Peacocks are also just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a record below 40%. St Peters laying 10.5 points here today. They have had trouble covering spread and this is a lot to cover. I'll take the dog, play Fairfield. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | Villanova v. Creighton +3 | Top | 70-86 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show |
Excellent matchup here today as a pair of Big East clash as Villanova takes on Creighton. The Villanova Wildcats are 13-2 S/U and 9-6 ATS overall on the season. The Cats are 4-1 S/U and ATS on the road. Meanwhile, Creighton is 15-5 S/U and 9-11 ATS on the season. The Blue Jays are 8-3 S/U and 5-6 ATS at home. However, this will be the first time this season that Creighton will installed as the dog at home. Villanova right now sitting as a 3-point road favorite. For me, Creighton might just be a shade below Villanova in talent, but getting points at home with a quality team like the BlueJays is too much to pass on. The dog has covered the last five games in this series and that's who I will be on here today. Play Creighton. |

PAC 12 action here on Thursday has the Utah Utes playing at the Cal Bears. The Utes are 8-7 S/U and 7-8 ATS on the season.

They are covering better though at 5-2 ATS their last seven. The Bears have been a very good home team, going 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 as home dog. Utah likely the slightly better team, but can't overlook the way this Cal team covers spreads. Play California. |

02-10-21 | Wichita State -2 v. UCF | 61-60 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Wichita State is 11-4 on the season, winning three straight games and five of their last six games. However, they have failed to cover in any of their last four games and are 4-4 ATS their last eight. The Shockers might shock some teams come NCAA time as they are flying under the radar right now. Central Florida Knights are just 5-9 S/U and 7-7 ATS on the season. They have won just two of their last 10 games and are 4-6 ATS during that span. In addition, they are just 2-5 ATS as a dog their last seven games. Take the visitor in this one. Play Wichita State. |

The Indiana Hoosiers look to build on their win over Iowa last game, 67-65 as a 3-point dog. The Hoosiers will continue to lean on Race Thompson, who has averaged 14.7 ppg the last three games. Meanwhile, Northwestern has been in a free fall, losing nine straight games and covered just one of those. The Hoosiers are now 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games while Northwestern is just 10-21-1 ATS in their last 32 home games. Play Indiana |
|||||||
02-09-21 | Iowa State v. TCU -6 | 76-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Iowa State having a pretty horrible season with just a 2-11 S/U and 5-8 ATS records. The Cyclones have now lost seven straight games, though they have covered two straight games. The team is 0-5 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the road this year. The TCU Horned Frogs are 10-7 S/U and 7-9-1 ATS this season. The Frogs snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Oklahoma State, 81-78. They have covered three straight games. Frogs laying 6.5 points here tonight not too big a number for them to cover. Play TCU. |
|||||||
02-08-21 | Samford v. Mercer -9.5 | 82-89 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
The Samford Bulldogs are 6-8 S/U and 4-7-1 ATS on the season. They are 2-4 S/U and 2-3-1 ATS on the road. Samford is coming off a loss to UT Chatt, 64-70.

Meanwhile, the Mercer Bears are 10-7 S/U and 5-9 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss to East Tennessee State, 64-70. I'll lay the points at home with Mercer here tonight. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Quinnipiac v. Fairfield +3.5 | 78-63 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
The Quinnipiac Bobcats are 4-6 S/U and 5-5 ATS on the season. The Cats snapped a four game losing streak last time out at home against Niagara, 78-69. The issue is that game came back on January 23, some 15 days ago. The team is likely out of game shape a bit here today and probably rusty also. Fairfield is just 3-12 S/U and 5-9 ATS on the season. They also haven't played since January so same issues will likely plague the Stags also. They did win that last game at Marist, 55-52 as a 5-point dog. The question is which team will be more in game mode here today. I'm considering that Fairfield is at home in this and getting points. I'll take that here today. Play Fairfield. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Drexel v. Hofstra -3.5 | Top | 74-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
These teams met yesterday at Hofstra with the Drexel Dragons taking a close game, 73-71 as a 3.5-point road dog. Drexel won by just two points even though they shot 62% from the field and held Hofstra to 37%. You would think with that kind of differential the score would have been much more in the Dragons favor. Drexel also shot 62.5% from the 3-point stripe while holding Hofstra to just 43%. So here we are today, Drexel too game one on the road, way out shot Hofstra and yet narrowly won by just two points. I look for Hofstra to bounce back in a big way here today. This one might not be close. Play Hofstra. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Tennessee v. Kentucky +4 | Top | 82-71 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
The Tennessee Volunteers dropped to 12-4 S/U with a loss at Ole Miss last Tuesday, 50-52 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Vols are just 2-3 S/U and 1-4 ATS over their last five games. Now they have to play at Kentucky. The Wildcats having a very off season at just 5-11 and have lost five of their last six games. The Cats are 3-3 S/U and 2-4 ATS at home this season. Kentucky is also just 4-5 in the SEC this season. We have to give the Cats a bit of a pass though, having played the nation's 7th toughest schedule. With Tennessee winning just one road game since December and now they are laying points. I'll take Kentucky here today. Play Kentucky |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Drake -12.5 v. Valparaiso | 80-77 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
Drake Bulldogs having a excellent season at 17-0 S/U and 13-1-0 ATS on the season. They are equally as impressive on the road where they are 6-0 S/U and 5-0 ATS. It's no wonder they will be laying double digits here away from home. However, they are fully up to the task as they can score points in bunches. Valparaiso Crusaders will likely be more than a small speed bump in the road today. The Crusaders are just 6-11 S/U and 5-10 ATS on the season. They are slightly better at home with a 4-3 S/U and 2-3 ATS mark. They have lost two straight games, both to Evansville on the road. I have no problems laying the points here on the road with one of the best teams in the country. Play Drake. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Towson +3.5 v. College of Charleston | 88-90 | Win | 100 | 2 h 28 m | Show | |
The Towson State Tigers are just 3-10 S/U and 3-9 ATS on the season. The Tigers look to snap a five-game losing streak here today. They are coming off a losing doubleheader against William and Mary. That's the bad news. The good news is that they are playing College of Charleston here today. The Cougars are just 5-8 S/U and 3-9 ATS on the season. They are 4-5 S/U and 2-6 ATS at home this year. Two poor teams here today. The dog is the way to go here today as neither team should be laying any points. Take Towson. |

02-05-21 | Cleveland State v. Oakland -1 | 80-72 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
The Cleveland State Vikings look to win their third straight game here tonight at Oakland. The Vikings are coming off a sweep of Wisconsin Green Bay at home. That improved the club to 12-5 S/U and 12-3-1 ATS on the season. They are 5-4 S/U and 5-2-1 ATS on the road this year. The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are 8-13 S/U and 13-7 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies are 4-2 both S/U and ATS at home this season. Oakland is also coming off a 2-game sweep of IUPU-Ft Wayne on the road. It was the team's fifth win in their last six games both S/U and ATS. Oakland a small home favorite here tonight, something they have excelled at as evidenced by their 7-0 mark their last seven games in that role. I'll take the home team here tonight. Play Oakland. |

02-04-21 | Stanford -5 v. California | 70-55 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
PAC-12 action here tonight has a Northern Cal battle between Stanford and Cal. The Stanford Cardinal are 10-7 S/U and 7-8-1 ATS on the season. They are also 4-4 S/U and 2-5 ATS on the road. The Cardinal look to snap a 2-game losing streak here tonight after dropping their last game at home to USC, 66-72. California Bears are dropping fast, now losing four straight and eight of their last 10 games. The Bears are just 7-12 S/U 9-9 ATS on the season. They are slightly better at home where they are 5-4 S/U and 6-3 ATS. However, they are just 1-4 S/U at home when installed as the dog as they are here tonight. Stanford has won both games on the road where they were favored. I look for the Cardinal to cover here tonight at Cal. Play Stanford. |

02-04-21 | Austin Peay v. Eastern Kentucky -2 | Top | 94-79 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
The Austin Peay Governors are 10-6 S/U and 6-7 ATS on the season. The Governors are also 4-1 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the road. They have won two straight games including Monday's win over Southern Illinois, 74-59. They have already played Eastern Kentucky once this year, back on January 2nd, a 75-80 loss at home as a 4.5-point favorite. The Eastern Kentucky Colonels are 14-2 S/U and 10-2-2 ATS on the season. The Colonels are having a fine season, undefeated at home with a 8-0 S/U mark and 3-1-2 ATS record. They have won nine straight games. They are also 6-0-2 ATS in their last eight games. I really like this Eastern Kentucky team and will lay the points with them here tonight. Play Eastern Kentucky. |

Virginia Cavaliers having a excellent season at 11-3 S/U and 7-6 ATS on the season. The Cavs will look to rebound from a loss though, having lost at Virginia Tech last time out, 51-65 as a 5-point favorite. That was the Cavs first loss in four road games both S/U and vs the number. The Cavs continue to be one of the best covering road teams, now 30-13-1 in their last 44 away games. The NC State Wolfpack are 7-6 S/U and 5-8 ATS on their season. The Pack have lost five of their last six games including last time out at Syracuse, 73-76. They have also covered just one of their last seven games and two fo the last 10. I look for Virginia to bounce back here tonight with a win and cover. Play Virginia. |

They have also covered three straight and are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games. The Citadel Bulldogs hope to put an end to that win streak here tonight. The Bulldogs are 9-6 S/U and 7-3-1 ATS on the season. They are 8-2 S/U and 5-1-0 ATS at home. Citadel getting over 10 points at home tonight looks to be way too many for a Bulldogs team that has been winning and covering at home. Play The Citadel. |

02-01-21 | Bradley -2 v. Indiana State | 55-67 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Bradley Braves have dropped to .500 at 9-9 on the season after a five-game losing streak. The Braves dropped game one of this back-to-back series with Indiana State on Sunday, 57-60 against a pick'em line. Bradley has a good team, but has fallen onto some hard times. They look to get back on the winning ways today against Indiana State. The Indiana State Sycamores are 9-7 S/U on the season. They are 7-3 S/U at home and 4-5 ATS. They have won five straight games. It's difficult to win both games in these back-to-back series, especially against a slightly better opponent as Bradley is here today. I look for Bradley to bounce back and take game two here today. Play Bradley. |

01-31-21 | Loyola-Chicago v. Missouri State +6.5 | 72-46 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
Loyola Chicago having a fine season thus far at 13-3 S/U and 10-3-1 ATS. They face their stiffest competition here today in Missouri State. The Ramblers have won six straight games and are 5-0-1 ATS in those wins. The Missouri State Bears are 9-3 S/U and 7-3 ATS on the season. They look to snap a two-game losing streak, both coming at the hands of Drake. The Bears are 6-2 S/U and 4-2 ATS at home this season. Again, with both those losses coming to Drake. Missouri State's nice spread record dates back to last season where they have covered 15 of their last 20 overall and eight of their last 11 at home. The dog has covered the last four in this series and that would be the home team here today. Play Missouri State. |
|||||||
01-31-21 | Michigan State +6.5 v. Ohio State | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 28 m | Show | |
Big 10 action here today as Michigan State takes on Ohio State. The Michigan State Spartans are 8-5 S/U and 3-10 ATS on the season. They have lost two straight games against Purdue and last time at Rutgers, 37-67. They will look to rebound here today at Ohio State. The Buckeyes are 13-4 S/U and 8-7-1 ATS on the season. They are also 8-1 S/U and 4-4 ATS at home. The Buckeyes have struggled covering spreads at home, failing on their last two attempts. For me, the line is a bit high here today at 6.5 to 7.5 on Ohio State. I'll take the points. |

01-30-21 | New Mexico v. Fresno State -6.5 | 55-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
New Mexico is having a rough season in more than one way. The Lobos are 5-10 S/U and have to play all their games on the road since the State of New Mexico is not allowing any sports to be played. So here they are, playing yet again on the road at Fresno State. They lost to the Bulldogs on Thursday night, 62-64 in a game that went back and forth the entire night. New Mexico has now lost 10 of their last 12 games and covered just four of the last 12. The Bulldogs of Fresno State climbed back to the .500 mark with that win over New Mexico. It also snapped a three game losing streak to the top teams in the conference, Boise State and Nevada. Don't expect tonight's contest to be as close as Thursday's. Take Fresno State. |

Ball State has now lost four of their last six games. The Akron Zips have improved to 9-3 as they ride a five-game win streak into today's contest. The Zips have also covered five straight. Akron is a perfect 7-0 S/U and 5-0 ATS at home. I like the Zips here at home as they stay perfect. Play Akron. |
