Orlando at Indiana 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Pacers- Orlando ended a six-game losing streak last time out against at Minnesota Wednesday and did it in find fashion. The Magic pulled some tricks of their own when they trailed by 20-points and got the victory on a game-winner 3-pointer at the buzzer by Cole Anthony. Indiana has dropped their last two and of course are short-handed after the trade that shipped Oladipo out and what they got in return Caris LeVert has a kidney issue. Take ORLANDO! |

01-22-21 | Michigan v. Purdue +4.5 | Top | 70-53 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
Michigan at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Wolverines- Michigan started the season with 11 straight wins before getting thrashed at Minnesota 75-57 but managed to rebound with a strong winning performance over Maryland 87-63. Coach Juwan Howard says that the win was a big bounce-back game and I wonder if they will have to same motivation on the road against Purdue who is on a four-game winning streak. But, the Wolves are 6-2 ATS in their last eight away games and are an impressive 36-17-1 ATS in their last 54 games as favorites but the underdog is 6-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Add that Purdue is 6-2-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take PURDUE! |

01-21-21 | Knicks +4.5 v. Warriors | Top | 119-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show |
New York at Golden State 10 ET Knicks (+) over Warriors- For the first time in a decade the Knicks look like a real basketball team under head coach Tom Thibodeau and a win here would bring New York to even on the season. They have won two-in-a-row after having lost five straight and are much improved but still have difficult making shots fall as they hang the hats on defense. One thing Golden State doesn't worry about is shots going into the basket even with Klay Thompson to compliment Stephen Curry. State is at Utah next up and they may be thing about atoning for a 129-96 beating. Take NEW YORK! |

Wichita State at Memphis 7:00 ET Tigers (-) over Shockers- Usually when I post a game I've had a first impression of the line and matchup and have an immediate opinion one way or another. So, it is unusual for me to come up with a side in a game that I had no original interest and this caught my eye late but that doesn't diminish its value. Memphis is coming off an upset home loss to Tulsa (58-57) and will have their heads on straight for this 8-3 Shockers team that beat Tulsa 72-53 last time out but they will leave Tennessee in shock! Take MEMPHIS |

Brooklyn at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Nets- Okay here it is the game that will tell me more about the Nets than other would realize. Brooklyn has won four straight including the last two since they acquired James Harden and Kyrie Irving is supposed to return to action tonight and the Nets are 5-2 since his vacation. Cleveland started the season 3-0 and have won just 3-of-10 since including a win over New York their last time out. The Cavaliers expect the return of starting guards Sexton and Garland who have been out for two weeks but practiced Tuesday. Brooklyn is just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as favorites and the Cavs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven as home underdogs. Take CLEVELAND! |

Mississippi at Mississippi State 9:00 ET Rebels (+) over Bulldogs- Interesting matchup as Mississippi State coach considered last Saturday's win over Florida as a 'must win' and they did win so what about playing your arch-rivals.

Penn State at Illinois 8:30 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Illini- Right now Illinois coach Brad Underwood isn't very happy with his team's play as his 9-5 Fighting Illini haven't shown as much fight as he would like and are playing off their headlines. No. 22 Illinois has what many believe is four NBA draft picks playing for themselves. Penn State has been dreadful firing their coach and have lost four straight and haven't posted a win since Dec. 8.

Kansas at Baylor 9:00 ET Bears (+) over Jayhawks- The Big-12 once again is providing us with ranked teams going at it as No. 2 Baylor is hosting perennial conference champion No. 7 Kansas. The Bears are undefeated at 12-0 SU and an impressive 10-2 ATS and score 87.3ppg while defending at 61.1ppg allowed. The Baylor offense shoots the eyes out of the ball as they say and they are over 50% from the field and 42.3% from long range. There are numerous positive trends supporting both squads but the Bears score 11ppg more than the Hawks and allow 6.5ppg less. The line is way high. I don't ever remember Kansas being this big an underdog against anybody anytime. Take BAYLOR! |

Phoenix at Memphis 5:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Suns- Ja Morant is back for the Grizzlies and he always has an impact when in the lineup and he joins his teammate as they ended a 3-game home losing streak before capturing their last four. Phoenix is playing their fourth straight road game and it have been an extended trip as they haven't played in over a week and last time out the were blown out by a 1-win Wizards team. The Suns are improved and will be great to watch this season but the Grizzlies are a 'comer' as they have fantastic balance with seven players averaging double figures. Take MEMPHIS! |

01-18-21 | Spurs -115 v. Blazers | 125-104 | Win | 100 | 12 h 16 m | Show | |
San Antonio and Portland 3:00 ET Spurs over Trailblazers- How can I not love this game? I get another opportunity to bad mouth Carmelo Anthony (who actually have been better of late...just wait) and cheer on a legendary coach he has his work cut out for him. Gone are the days when Gregg Popovich would be commanding the attention but that is basically for the most part provided to winners. But, hey the Spurs have won five of their last seven while Portland has won five of six and are an underdog at home. Go figure! Spurs are 8-3 ATS in last 11 on the road when not favored and the Blazers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games and 1-6 ATS as home underdogs. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

New York at Boston 1:00 ET Knicks (+) over Celtics- Two eastern clubs that are moving in opposite directions as Boston has won five straight and after a quick start the Knicks are now 5-8 SU after losing their last five. The Celtics have been dealing with COVID issues and finally have 12 players in uniform and have played once in the last nine days. Boston has won four of the last five meetings and are 5-1 ATS at home but Tom Thibodeau will have his young squad eager and ready. Take NEW YORK! |

01-17-21 | Penn State +5 v. Purdue | 72-80 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 27 m | Show | |
Penn State at Purdue 1:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Boilermakers- Penn State has lost three straight but have managed to go 2-1 ATS and are off an OT 87-85 loss at Indiana and that was 17 days ago as the Lions have had four straight postponements. Purdue returns home after four straight road games and with wins over Michigan State and Indiana. The Boilermakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 0-3-1 ATS in their last four home games. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the fog is 4-1-1 last six. Take PENN STATE! |

01-16-21 | Hawks +5 v. Blazers | 106-112 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Portland 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Trailblazers- The Hawks were flying high when the season started winning four of their first five but have been grounded of late losing five of six (1-5 ATS) and were trounced by the Jazz in Utah 116-92 last night. Atlanta's scoring machine Trae Young had his worst night as a pro scoring just four points on 1-for-11 shooting. Portland mostly likely has lost center Zach Collins for the season and Jusuf Nurkic is also out after breaking his wrist Thursday night. Blazers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games. Take ATLANTA! |

Philadelphia at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over 76ers- The 76ers look like a different team on the court under the leadership of new head coach Doc Rivers as they have become more consistent day-to-day. But, like past years I hope that they revert to their previous resume. Philadelphia is 7-1 at home but has been one of the worst road teams in the league for a number of seasons and are 16-34 32% ATS in their last 50 road and are 1-2 already in 2020-21 and they are 5-16-1 ATS in 22 games as road favorites. Meanwhile, after a slow start Memphis has won three straight and returns home where they are just 1-5 straight up. Tale the GRIZZLIES! |

Charlotte at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (-) over Hornets- This game being played in Florida and considered a 'home' game for Toronto who have played all 11 games in the USA and are 1-6 when away and 2-2 where ever they play as the designated home team. This is the second of a 2-game series with the Raptors winning Thursday 111-108 as a 10-point favorite and tonight the price has dropped to -7. Charlotte has lost their last two after posting four straight wins and will be without Gordon Hayward once again. Take TORONTO! |

Baylor at Texas Tech 4:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Bears- The Big-12 has given us some great matchups as it is one of the deepest better basketball conferences in the nation. This one pits No. 2 Baylor against the Red Raiders who just jettisoned Texas 77-75 while the undefeated Bears were taking care of TCU in their house last Saturday. A game this week for Baylor against West Virginia was postponed. Baylor averages 89ppg while Texas Tech only allows just 59.4ppg. Although the Raiders are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games the home team in this series is 5-2 ATS in the lat seven meetings and the underdog is 4-1 ATS. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Arkansas at Alabama 3:30 ET Razorbacks (+) over Crimson Tide- After a slow start Alabama has won six straight and is 5-0 in SEC action and is 6-0 ATS in their last six overall. Arkansas has lost 3-of-4 but still have a point differential advantage of 87.2 to 69.2 and are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. The Razorbacks are well balanced with five players averaging double figures and getting points gives them the edge as the underdogs is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take ARKANSAS! |

01-16-21 | Kentucky +2 v. Auburn | 59-66 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Auburn Wildcats (+) over Tigers- As we are all aware this is not a really good Kentucky basketball team and most would agree that they stink especially if you witnessed their 85-75 loss at home to Alabama their worst loss ever in Rupp Arena to Alabama and the worst in Lexington since 1974. But, Kentucky is 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine road games while Auburn even tho the are off a 95-77 win at Georgia they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall. The Wildcats have dominated this series 95 wins to 21 losses at one point winning 18 straight from 2001-2015. Take KENTUCKY! |

Michigan at Minnesota 2:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Wolverines- A week ago when playing 'against' the undefeated and unranked Wolverines I was overwhelmed by a swarming quick as life defense and an offense that averages 82ppg. That will be a challenge for this Rich Pitino coached team that is 10-0 at home (0-4 away) including 5-0 ATS in the last five. Michigan is 6-2 ATS on the road in their last eight. Wolves have defeated three straight ranked teams by 10 points or more this time they will face some better competition. Take GOLDEN GOPHERS! |

North Carolina at Florida State 12:00 ET Tar Heels (+) over Seminoles- Both of these clubs are coming off victories but how they achieved them by different routes. North Carolina won their third straight getting by a scrappy Syracuse squad while Florida State was setting school and SEC records by shooting 70.7% from the floor and 12-of-18 from behind the arc. The Seminoles may have their best team since Leonard Hamilton took over but UNC is still Carolina and they will control the boards as they lead the nation in offensive rebounds and will get those second chance points. Take the TAR HEELS! |

Atlanta at Utah 9:00 ET Hawks (+) over Jazz- Utah comes home for the first time since January 1 after six straight road games winning and covering their last three going 4-2 SU. Atlanta broke a four-game losing streak with a win over Philadelphia on Monday and are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. Utah who once owned one of the strongest home court advantages are just 1-2 SU this season and are only 8-23-2 ATS in their last 33 games as favorites and are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings with the Hawks. Take ATLANTA! |

01-15-21 | Wisconsin v. Rutgers +3 | Top | 60-54 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Rutgers 7:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Badgers- Yeah, I was one of those guys that was sucked in, into taking Wisconsin last time out at Michigan when they trailed 69-29 getting out-scored 36-3 during one stretch. Usually I would look to rebound with a team after a bad loss but this is something a bit different. The Badgers have failed against Marquette, Maryland and Michigan as their shooting hasn't kept up with their relivable defense. Rutgers has lost a step as well opening 6-0 and getting ranked as high as No. 11 but have dropped their last four including a 78-68 home loss to Ohio State on Saturday. Looking for the Knights to rebound at home as the hosts are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take RUTGERS! |

Orlando at Boston 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Celtics- Boston hasn't been able to play for a week as they could not put the minimum eight players in uniform and now they get to play with a skeleton crew minus Jayson Tatum and Robert Williams. Orlando has dropped three straight all by at least 10-points including a 121-99 loss Monday at Milwaukee yet they are just a long FG try underdogs. The Magic are 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last five trips at Boston. Take ORLANDO! |

The Blazers are an impressive 9-1 at home and are just 1-0 on the road winning at E. Tenn. St. of the Southern Conference. Charlotte who is playing their fourth straight home games has played five straight close games with decisions by 3, 4, 4, 1 and 3 with the last two going OT. The 49ers are 5-1 ATS after a SU loss and the heaviest of them all is the underdogs is 14-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Old Dominion at Rice 3:00 ET Monarchs (-) over Owls- Let's see now, Rice better record 9-3 (5-1 at home) while Old Dominion 7-3 (2-3 on the road) and the Monarchs are favored. This makes no sense as they are 2-6 ATS on the road and 2-7 ATS against a team with a winning record. The Owls are 4-1 last five and this just doesn't figure as they are 11-5 ATS against teams with winning records. I don't get it...Take OLD DOMINION! |

Purdue at Indiana 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Hoosiers- These two Indiana schools have a tense rivalry that won't be diminished because of the lack of student attendance. These clubs are very similar as they don't possess much firepower on offense but play some of the toughest defense in the nation. The Hoosiers allow just 66.6 ppg while staying neck and neck is Purdue who allows just 66.2 ppg. Purdue has struggled on the road going just 5-12-3 ATS in their last 20 road games but have won seven straight against the Hoosiers. Take PURDUE. |

Philadelphia wins by 3-points in overtime and the line goes up...hum. Both teams are dealing with protocol issues as the Sixers are down four men but the line is now higher maybe because Ben Simmons in back although he was sub-par his first game back and 'we' expect more tonight. Miami has just eight player available and they will need them all. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

01-14-21 | Washington State v. UCLA -9 | 61-91 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Washington State at UCLA 5:00 ET Bruins (-) over Cougars- This seems a bit odd that a pair of 9-2 teams meet from the same conference and one team is double-digit favorites. UCLA has won four straight and are off a sweep in Arizona defeating both desert teams and now face a Cougars squad that is playing just just their second true road game and are on the road for the third straight game as their loss to Stanford was played in Santa Cruz. Washington State is just 7-17-1 ATS in their last 25 road games while UCLA is 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine road games and the home team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take UCLA! |

Stanford has won three straight and are 4-1 in conference play while Utah has lost four straight and is 1-4 in Pac-12 action blowing 10-point second half leads in their last two games against Colorado and Oregon (two pretty good clubs). The Utes have won five straight at home against the Cardinal and have swept all the Bay area schools at home since 2014-15 and the home team is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take UTAH! |

Portland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- These two met four days ago in Portland and the Trailblazers embarrassed the Kings 125-99 and it wasn't that close. The Blazers were taunting Sacramento and as professionals they are seeking a bit of revenge. The problem is the Kings always seem to have numerous injuries and they expect injured guard Buddy Hield to suit up tonight. Portland has one three straight including a 112-111 buzzer beating win over Toronto Monday and three in-a-row in enough for these guys. The Kings are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 games as underdogs. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Chip's SEC Power Play Winner Texas A&M at Mississippi State 9:00 ET Aggies (+) over Bulldogs- Mississippi State has been good to 'us' as we are 3-0 ATS in their last four games and they are off a non-cover win at Vanderbilt after defeating Missouri at home. Meanwhile A&M is looking for the right chemistry after a 68-54 home loss to Tennessee. The Aggies worked hard on the boards and out-rebounded the Vols wiped the glass clean for a 31-23 advantage. They will have to do that and then some to get by the Bulldogs huge front line that outscored Vanderbilt 42-18 in the paint but are just 63% at Free Throw line. Miss St is favored but the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take TEXAS A&M! |

Texas Tech at Texas 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Longhorns- I love this Texas team as Shaka Smart has finally turned out a product the alumni can be proud of being ranked No. 4 to start the week. Undefeated 4-0 in Big-12 action they managed to avoid an upset after defeating Kansas by 25-points taking down Iowa State and won at the buzzer at West Virginia. They have shown me plenty of character and against will face a stiff test in state rival Texas Tech who have won their last two and four of five. The Red Raiders had lost seven straight before their 91-64 win at Iowa State and they are ready to start a new trend. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Chip's NBA Money Game Winner Brooklyn at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Nets- Boy on boy, there has just got to be drama round these 'queens' as Kyrie ('the World is Flat) Irving still hasn't decided if his going to take his third straight season off. Kevin Durant took his mini 10-day vacation and is pleased with Irving's absence as he get to handle the ball more and can make more anonymous social media comment about his teammates. Hey, not to be out done the Knicks showed some life early on but keep tossing bricks from the floor as they are one of the worst shooting teams I have ever seen at this level. But, new coach Tom Thibodeau has the Knicks playing defense going 2-9 to the under with the last 11 meetings going under. Take NEW YORK! |

Dallas at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has won their last four and are now over .500 (5-4) for the first time this season The Mavericks last game scheduled against New Orleans was postponed as the Dallas did not have the minimum of eight players cleared to play. But, they should have enough players tonight as Kristaps Porzingis is supposed to return to play. Although the Mavs have dominated the Hornets in Charlotte going 14-3 ATS in their last 17 visits but they are 1-6 ATS as favorites including 0-5 ATS on the road as favorites and the Hornets are 15-5-1 ATS as underdogs and 7-0 ATS as home dogs.

Arkansas at LSU 7:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- Arkansas is one of the highest scoring teams in the country averaging 88.2 points a game and are coming off a 99-69 point win over Georgia rebounding from consecutive losses to Missouri and at Tennessee. LSU has won two straight with a win over Georgia as well, but the Tigers had to go overtime to win 94-92 at home but they off a 75-61 win at Mississippi. The Tigers are just 3-9 ATS is their last 12 games after a straight-up win while the Razorbacks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven against teams with winning records and the road team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings.

Chip's SEC Heavy Hitter Winner Auburn at Georgia 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- Talk about 'Don't make sense' this line sure doesn't do it for me. Here is Georgia 7-3 still looking for the first SEC win 7-0 SU at home favored by less than a bucket against an Auburn squad that has lost four straight. Georgia has six players averaging double figures but they commit 18.1 turnovers a game. Auburn has played three true road games and lost them all and are 0-3 ATS and yet they are less than a field goal underdog. Don't make sense...take AUBURN! |

N.C. State at Florida State 6:30 ET Wolfpack (+) over Seminoles- Both these club play defense first but Florida State is considered more talented and more athletic (ha yeah code for not smart players). The Seminoles field goal defense has held opponents under 70 points four times but they haven't played in 16 days and have missed numerous practices. N.C. State plays pressure defense that ranks 7th in steals (9.8) as they force 18.6 turnovers per game. Wolfpack 0-2 on the road but break through her as road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take NC STATE! |

01-12-21 | Syracuse +5 v. North Carolina | 75-81 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Syracuse at North Carolina 9:00 ET Orange (+) over Tar Heels- This game has been scheduled today because both the Tar Heels and Orange had games cancelled against Clemson this week as here we are. Syracuse under Jim Boeheim's reign have always been a defense first team and they are still playing that way as they contain their foes shooting percentages at 39% from the field and just 30% from beyond the arc. North Carolina is not the dominate team that we are used to seeing as they have had six games decided by six points or less as they struggle to find offensive chemistry. The Heels rank #263 in offense with poor shooting from the floor (41%) but rebound well averaging 41.7 rebounds. Still, it's defense and the Orange. Take SYRACUSE! |

01-12-21 | Lakers v. Rockets +4.5 | 117-100 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- Two huge variables make this a difficult side to settle on one good the other not so good. The first is of course is LeBron James who is looking to guide Los Angeles to back-to-back championships. The other is Houston's James Harden who knows how to score points but not win games is a factor is he wants to 'play.' These two met Sunday at the Toyota Center and the Lakers won easy 120-102 as the Rockets shot poorly and didn't protect the ball committing 21 turnovers. LA is just 3-8 after a straight-up win but after that, Lakers get cocky and Rockets get back. Take HOUSTON! |

01-12-21 | Kansas v. Oklahoma State +4 | Top | 70-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
Kansas at Oklahoma State 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas may have the matchup they want as coach Bill Self prefers to play an 'inside' game as their 'big man' David McCormack is expected to clean the boards and managed to score 37 points in the past two games including scoring the game winner against Oklahoma Saturday. The Cowboys play tough defense allowing opponents just 39% FG shooting although undersized and ranking No. 222 in defensive rebounding. The Jayhawks are tough on the road going 9-2 ATS as favorites but State is 4-1 ATS as underdogs and the home team is 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

Miami at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (-) over Heat- This has got to be the COVID game of the year with both clubs struggling to provide the minimum of eight available players. Miami has their last game cancelled against Boston as the Heat had eight players on the protocol list. Philadelphia has had their own virus issues and have dropped three straight after starting the season 7-1. The Sixers were beaten in Atlanta last night as they were missing five players of their own but they expect the return of en Simmons tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Chip's Big Ten Major Shocker Winner Wisconsin at Michigan 7:00 ET Badgers (+) over Wolverines- This should be one of the better played games of the day as the Big Ten matchup pits No. 7 Michigan (10-0, 5-0) against No. 9 Wisconsin (10-2, 4-1). This basketball season the Big Ten is by far the strongest conference in the country and these two have contrasting style as the Wolverines are looking to out gun and out score you while the Badgers use their defense to keep opponents at 61.5 ppg and holding them to 38.9% shooting. Take the points...WISCONSIN! |

Chip's SEC Power Play Winner Mississippi at Florida 7:00 ET Rebels (+) over Gators- After quick starts these two clubs are backsliding as Florida has dropped their last two assuring they have dropped from the ranking and Mississippi has lost three of four after starting the season 4-0. This seems like a very short 'number' as the Rebels have struggled as road dogs going 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records but they bounce back after double-digit losses to go 20-6 ATS next time out. The Gators always a decent team is usually favorite but don't get there as they are 10-21 ATS in their last 31 home games. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

Chip's ACC Vegas Hotline Winner Duke at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET Hokies (+) over Blue Devils- A lot of things are changing in the ACC and the dominating play of North Carolina and Duke appear to be in the rear view mirror. Although they have played and won four more games than No. 19 Duke the Hokies are ranked No. 20 below the Blue Devils as old reps remain with the perennial powers. Virginia Tech is a strong rebounding team bullying Notre Dame on the boards last time out gaining a 41-24 rebounding advantage. Devils are just 1-6 ATS overall and 1-6 ATS as road favorites while Tech is 5-1 ATS in their last six games and the home team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Toronto at Portland 10:00 ET Raptors (+) over Trailblazers- It's kinda funny with the Raptors having their road record listed at 1-5 when in reality ALL their games are road games as the 'great White North' has banned their play. Toronto has a beaten favorite (-3) last night at Golden State dropping a 106-105 decision while Portland has won their last two and are 5-12-1 ATS after a win of 10-points or more and 1-5 ATS in their last six home games.

Indiana at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Pacers- The Kings have dropped five of their past six games and their main issue is the lack of intensity on defense as they ranked 28th surrendering 121 ppg and last 30th in defensive FG's as opponents shoot 49.6%. Indiana takes to the road after playing six of seven at home and they are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 road games when favored and 9-3 after a SU loss. Sacramento is 0-5 ATS in their five games overall and are looking to rebound from consecutive 20-point ATS losses. Take the KINGS! |

Phoenix at Washington 7:05 ET Wizards (+) over Suns- A year ago these two clubs were both outsiders trying to reach the playoffs. Both teams made changes in the off-season and they both have different looks and results. Phoenix has added Chris Paul and is off to a 7-3 start including 4-2 AU on the road. The Suns have improved to the point where they are favored on the road while the Wizards with the addition of the most 'overrated' player in NBA history Russell Westbrook now hooked up with scorer Bradley Beal are last in defense allowing 123 ppg. Although Phoenix is 12-2 ATS at Washington this is the first time that they have been favored here. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-11-21 | Colorado v. Utah +3 | Top | 65-58 | Loss | -112 | 5 h 33 m | Show |
Colorado at Utah 6:00 ET Utes (+) over Buffaloes- Colorado who is off a 79-72 home win over Oregon were in the middle of a four-game home stand but instead are on the road in Salt Lake City tonight. Utah on the other hand is also off a home game against the Ducks but with different results as they fell 79-73 and have lost three straight in Pac-12 play. The Buffaloes are 6-1 ATS in their last games seven as favorites but it is a different story when on the road where as favorites as they are 6-16 ATS in that role and 11-40-1 ATS in their last 52 road games overall.

The Raptors finally put and end to a slide that saw them dropped 7-of-8 ATS as they ran away from the Kings in Sacramento 144-123.

01-10-21 | Maryland +10 v. Illinois | 66-63 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Maryland at Illinois 8:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Illini- The Big Ten has more than one good 'big man' in the conference and Illinois' 7-foot center Kofi Cockburn is making his presence felt. Leading the No. 12 Illini they are now 5-1 in Big Ten play and after trailing by 15 points at the half they outscored Northwestern 53-13 in the second half. Maryland has lost three straight and the last one to Iowa and their big man Garza who dominated the Terps. Let's hope that they learned something. Underdog 5-0 ATS last five meetings and hopefully get there again...take MARYLAND! |

01-10-21 | Cincinnati +2.5 v. Wichita State | Top | 76-82 | Loss | -119 | 5 h 20 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Wichita State 4:30 ET Bearcats (+) over Shockers- The Bearcats who have been the 'kiss-of-death' to backers broke through with an outright win over SMU for 'us' last time out and from what I am hearing they actually like what it feels like to be a winner. So, I am giving them another opportunity to prove their worth against not-so talented group of Shockers. Hey how about this the underdog is 4-0 ATS in their season and the road team is 7-0 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take CINCINNATI! |

01-10-21 | Bulls v. Clippers -11 | 127-130 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
Chicago at L. A. Clippers 4:00 ET Clippers (-) over Bulls- Hey, make the Bulls aren't all that bad at least by point-spread standards as they have won four straight and seven of their last eight against the number. But, tonight they will pay for the LA's sins, as the Clippers rebound from blowing a 20-point second half lead to Golden State Friday losing 115-105. Tonight they play a full 48 minutes with or without Leonard as the Clippers are 38-14 ATS after straight-up loss. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

01-10-21 | Jazz v. Pistons +8.5 | 96-86 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
Utah at Detroit 3:00 ET Pistons (+) over Jazz- Utah has been a bit inconsistent to date after dropping two straight in Gotham City to the Knicks and Nets then they rebounded with an impressive 131-118 win at Milwaukee when the set a franchise record 25 3-pointers in 53 attempts. Detroit has shown some life after a terrible start losing their first four and seven of eight before posting a 110-105 OT win over Phoenix Friday night. The Jazz have won the last eight meetings but are just 2-7 ATS as road favorites and 6-23-2 ATS in their last 31 overall as favorites. Pistons a 'live' home dog going 5-1 ATS in last six. Take DETROIT! |

01-10-21 | Minnesota +10 v. Iowa | 71-86 | Loss | -102 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Iowa 2:30 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Hawkeyes- Well, I couldn't have positioned it any better myself, but let see if it plays out correctly. Hawkeyes flying high at home winning all eight games as hosts and looking for revenge for their loss on Christmas Day at Minnesota 102-95 in overtime. Losing at Michigan 82-57 last time out brings the Gophers road road to 0-4 SU and ATS. Not only is Iowa 21-4-1 ATS in their last 27 home games the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Tough call but it's MINNESOTA! |

01-09-21 | Nuggets -5.5 v. 76ers | 115-103 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Denver at Philadelphia 3:00 ET Nuggets (-) over 76ers- Okay either this is the biggest 'gift' of the day (believe me the bookies don't like giving away anything) as the 3-5 Denver Nuggets are favored at 7-2 Philadelphia and I smell a rat. The 76ers are 5-0 straight up at home and here they are getting points from a sub .500 club. It looks like Embiid will get to play point guard as he wishes as three Sixers' guards are out because of virus and other crap. It's just DENVER! |

01-09-21 | Baylor v. TCU +12.5 | 67-49 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Baylor at T.C. U. 3:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Bears- No. 2 Baylor is 10-0 and not really been tested winning every game by at least 11 points with an average margin of victory of 28.8 per game. The one contest that would have given some perspective against Gonzaga was cancelled. TCU is off a 30-point beat down by Kansas but have given the Bears fits winning four of the past six meetings the last three years outright. Prior to that blowout loss to the Jayhawks the Frogs had won five in-a-row and they are 7-3 ATS following a Su loss. The Bears are tough everywhere and are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 road games. Still, this spot here today it's the Horned frogs...Take T.C.U.! |

01-09-21 | Seton Hall v. DePaul +3.5 | 76-68 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Seton Hall at DePaul 2:00 ET Blue Demons over Pirates- I usually like to take teams to bounce back from blowout losses but when a team losses the way Seton Hall lost to Creighton at no time showing any resistance. Even coach Kevin Willard said that they have got to regroup as he deals with the 'dog' in his Pirates. Seton Hall is just 7-16 ATS when playing teams with a losing record and the underdog in this series in 5-1 ATS last six meetings. Take DEPAUL! |

01-09-21 | Mississippi State v. Vanderbilt +3.5 | Top | 84-81 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show |
Mississippi State at Vanderbilt 1:00 ET Commodores (+) over Bulldogs- Mississippi State is coming off a great come-from-behind win over No. 13 Missouri 78-63 trailing by 16 at one point while Vanderbilt trailed Florida and Kentucky and never recovered and stand 0-2 in SEC play. The only positive trend that I can find for the 'Doors is that the underdog is 9-4-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings and that they are 4-2 SU at home. Bad spot for Bulldogs who may get caught napping. Take VANDERBILT! |

01-09-21 | Ohio State +4 v. Rutgers | 79-68 | Win | 100 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Rutgers 12:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Scarlet Knights- Rutgers jumped out with a pair of Big Ten wins to start conference play but have dropped 3-of-4 since including their last two to Iowa and Michigan State. Ohio State is 2-3 in conference action also losing last time out at Minnesota making it three Big Ten road losses and two home wins. The favorite in this series is 5-1 ATS and the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. But hey...this is why we call it handicapping...take BUCKEYES! |

01-09-21 | Alabama v. Auburn +5.5 | 94-90 | Win | 100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Alabama at Auburn 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- From top to bottom that's the way this rivalry seems to be headed as the SEC's only undefeated basketball (3-0) team Alabama (hard that before) travels to play the conference's only winless team (0-3) that's Auburn. The Tide have won four straight including a win 15-point win over Florida and a win at Tennessee. The number don't favor the Tigers but Bruce Pearl should have them ready for this one. Take AUBURN! |

01-08-21 | Raptors -5 v. Kings | Top | 144-123 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
Toronto at Sacramento 10:00 ET Raptors (-) over Kings- Toronto who won the NBA championship two seasons ago is 1-6 SU this year and 0-4 SU and ATS on the road. 0-4 ATS on the road and yet they are favored here at Sacramento where the Kings are 3-1 SU. This doesn't make any kind of sense what-so-ever although the Kings De'Aaron Fox strained his right hamstring last time out and mostly likely will be sidelined tonight. The Raptors are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the Kings 1-6 ATS after scoring over 125 points the pervious game. Take TORONTO! |

01-08-21 | Dayton v. Davidson -7 | 89-78 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Dayton at Davidson 9:00 ET Wildcats (-) over Flyers- As the song goes 'what a difference a day makes...', it supposed to to be '24 little hours.' But, what I am seeing is two different teams one season to the next as Dayton doesn't measure up to last year's version. The Flyers were just defeated by Fordham 55-54 in a game where they were 12-point favorites and they trailed the entire game. Now they show up as underdogs on the road where they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15. The Wildcats are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as home underdogs. Take DAVIDSON! |

01-08-21 | Jazz +5.5 v. Bucks | 131-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Utah at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Jazz (+) over Bucks- Utah has played five road games and surprisingly they are 3-2 SU on the road while Milwaukee is 4-0 SU at home and 3-1 ATS. This is the fourth straight road game for the Jazz who opened this trip with a win at San Antonio but were crushed in their last two at Brooklyn and New York. Despite those pair of losses Utah is 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games as underdogs. The Bucks who owned the best record in the league the past two seasons is just 1-5-1 ATS after a SU win. The Jazz have dominated the series between these two going 27-8 ATS in the last 35 meetings. Take UTAH! |
