Virginia and Providence 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Friars- Virginia who is not far removed from their National Title has won six tournaments in their last seven November tourney championships one of which came over Providence. The Friars are undefeated (5-0) but are 3-4 lifetime against Virginia and are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games on neutral sites including 0-5 Ats as neutral site favorites. Despite the Cavaliers struggling of late as they are1-4 AST in the last five at neutral sites they game the money here. Take VIRGINIA! |

11-17-21 | Michigan State v. Butler +3.5 | Top | 73-52 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Michigan State at Butler 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Spartans- Both of these schools have a rich basketball history with Michigan State being more renown having won a number of national championships but the Butler Bulldogs on a smaller scale has had achieved many accolades throughout their history. The Spartans opened the season at Madison Square Garden against Kansas and hung tough for the first half and then fell to the Jayhawks 87-74 but they won their home opener 90-46 over Western Michigan. Butler is 3-0 having won three home games against lesser competition and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs while the Spartans are 4-13 ATS as road favorites. Take BUTLER! |

11-13-21 | UCF +2.5 v. Miami-FL | Top | 95-89 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
Central Florida at Miami-Fl 1:00 ET Knights (+) over Hurricanes- Miami coach Jim Larranaga are looking to improve upon a disappointing 2020-21 season by using the transfer protocol adding four 'new' players and the return of a number of injured players from last year. Central Florida unlike the Hurricanes bring back almost all their scoring and playing time from an 11-12 club last season. They have added 6-11 transfer Cheikh Mbacke who was team captain last season and he started with five blocked shots in the Knights opening victory over Robert Morris. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

11-09-21 | Kentucky +3 v. Duke | Top | 71-79 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
Kentucky vs. Duke 9:30 ET Wildcats over Blue Devils- This one tips off the college basketball season at Madison Square Garden between No. 9 Duke and No. 10 Kentucky as both schools are seeking bounce back seasons. Neither club make to the NCAA tourney last season as the Wildcats finished 9-16 and the Blue Devils 13-11 but were denied a spot because of a rash of COVID infections. Coach Mike Krzyzewski enters his 42nd and final season at Duke (47 total) and is no stranger to playing at MSG but will follow this contest with five straight at home while the Wildcats will play their next seven games in Lexington. Kentucky has added three transfer players from West Virginia, Davidson and Georgia and their previous experience should be the difference. Take KENTUCKY! |

04-05-21 | Baylor v. Gonzaga -4.5 | Top | 86-70 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
Baylor vs. Gonzaga 9:20 ET Bulldogs (-) over Bears- This is the game we have all been waiting for (at least I have), especially since the early game scheduled between these two was canceled. Except for a short spur when Michigan was showing their best Baylor and Gonzaga have been the two best teams in the nation. We finally broke through with a win against the Bulldogs as they were lucky to escape with an overtime win against a 'game' UCLA team. Baylor had no such issues with Houston and manhandled them from start to finish! The Zags have won all five previous meetings with the dog Houston going 4-1 ATS. Not to worry here. The Bulldogs bite...take GONZAGA! |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Houston +5 v. Baylor | Top | 59-78 | Loss | -106 | 23 h 11 m | Show |
Houston vs Baylor 5:15 ET Cougars (+) over Bears- Baylor has been the No. 2 team in the nation the entire season and with a cancelled game against Gonzaga they got to 18-0 before a 23-day break because of COVID protocols. Once returning to action the Bears didn't seem to be the same but the 'Big Dance' has brought out the best in them as they have reeled off four straight wins and eight in their last nine games. Houston meanwhile has been lurking around the entire season and have won their last 11 and bring the nation's No. 2 scoring defense into this fray holding opponents to 57.6 PPG. Baylor of course has the No. 3 offense averaging 85.3 PPG while shooting 43% from 3-point range. But, the Cougars are No. 1 in FG defense allowing just 37% from the floor. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
03-29-21 | Arkansas v. Baylor -7.5 | Top | 72-81 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
Arkansas vs Baylor 10:00 ET Bears (-) over Razorbacks- Baylor has been ranked No. 2 or 3 the entire season despite losing 23 days of action because of virus issues and it has taken them four weeks since returning to play before they got their 'mojo' back. And they have it back now! The Bears are 9-3 ATS on neutral sites and 21-10 ATS against winning teams above 60%. Granted Arkansas is no push-over, as they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. This one is just about the Bears coming together at the right time. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Florida State +2 v. Michigan | Top | 58-76 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
Florida State vs Michigan 5:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Wolverines- This one could end up the best game of the day as No. 1 seed Michigan hosts No. 4 Florida State. Michigan who will be without their best shooting guard Isaiah Livers (43.1% from 3-point range) but finished top rated status with FG (48.5%), free throw (78%) and 3-points (38.5%). Florida State prides itself on their defense holding opponents to 39.3% FG on the season and seem to play their best in this position. Florida State is not only 3-1-1 ATS in their last five as NCAA Tourney underdogs they are 21-7-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs. Tale the SEMINOLES! |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Mississippi State v. Louisiana Tech +1.5 | Top | 84-62 | Loss | -104 | 17 h 34 m | Show |
Mississippi State vs Louisiana Tech 3:00 ET LT Bulldogs (+) over MS Bulldogs- A pair of No. 4 seeds meet but the only reason MSU got anything that high is because of the SEC strength of schedule, but they aren't all that good. LT is 23-7 and isn't worried about the SEC as they opened the tournament with a 70-61 won over Mississippi. Tech is 15-3 in their last 18 contests. Imposter MSU is 2-9 ATS after SU win while LT is 11-2 ATS against teams with winning records. Take LOUISIANA TECH! |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Oregon State v. Loyola-Chicago -6.5 | Top | 65-58 | Loss | -113 | 22 h 4 m | Show |
Oregon State vs Loyola-Chicago 2:40 ET Ramblers (-) over Beavers- Oregon State was picked to finish 12th in the Pac-12 and are a 12-seed here against No. 8 Loyola-Chicago and are one of the biggest surprises of all Tournament teams (except ORU). The Beavers are 20-9-1 ATS on the season and 19-6 ATS in their last 25 although they rank 213th on offense. I mention that because the Ramblers the nation's leader in defensive points allowed at only 55.7 PPG and I still believe in defense. Sister Jean remember the only meeting between these two on Dec. 31, 1927 a 30-19 Loyola victory. They do it again...LOYOLA-CHICAGO! |
|||||||
03-25-21 | NC State v. Colorado State +2 | Top | 61-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
N.C. State vs Colorado State 7:00 ET Rams (+) over Wolfpack- The Rams have had a decent season winning 19 of 25 games playing a schedule that doesn't compare with the riggers that NC State must go through. The Wolfpack are an unimpressive 14-10 winning six of their last seven to climb above .500. Although the Pack played a harder schedule you have to win more of those games against tougher competition. NC State is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as favorites and not for nothin the Rams are 26-9 on Thursdays. Take COLORADO STATE |
|||||||
03-22-21 | USC -120 v. Kansas | Top | 85-51 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
USC vs Kansas 9:40 ET Trojans (+) over Jayhawks- My first impression here is to ask why the sixth seed USC is favored over the third seed Kansas? The Jayhawks were booted out of the Big-12 Tournament as COVID protocols had them sidelined after a win over Oklahoma. USC meanwhile recovered from a 72-70 Pac-12 loss to Colorado before eliminating Drake last time out. The Trojans are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games at neutral sites and the Jayhawks are 0-4 ATS in neutral sites when underdogs. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

03-19-21 | Wisconsin +1.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 85-62 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
Wisconsin vs North Carolina 7:10 ET Badgers (+) over Tar Heels- Both of these clubs have been nothing if not underwhelming and their respective seeding with North Carolina No. 8 and Wisconsin No. 9 and each with double-digit losses on the season. This is the third NCAA Tournament meeting between these two but the others were deeper into the tourney meeting in 2005 in the Elite Eight with the Tar Heels winning and 2016 Sweet-16 win for the Badgers. Wisconsin played on this floor in Mackey Area losing to Purdue on March 2. The varmints are 14-6-2 ATS in their 22 NCAA Tournament games and 9-4-3 ATS as underdogs at neutral sites. Tar Heels are just 1-4 ATS in their last five tournament games. Take WISCONSIN! |
|||||||
03-18-21 | UCLA +2 v. Michigan State | Top | 86-80 | Win | 100 | 26 h 23 m | Show |
UCLA vs Michigan State 10:00 ET Bruins (+) over Spartans- These two perennial college basketball powers are in a play-in game as 11 seeds. They both limping into the tournament and are both lucky to be here as the Spartans finished under .500 in Big Ten action and UCLA was comes in losing their last four games overall. UCLA has five players that average double figures in scoring and lead the NCAA in offensive efficiency but their slow and deliberate play has keep their overall scoring low. The Bruins are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall but are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs. MSU is 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games overall but just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as favorites. The underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the six meetings. Take UCLA! |

03-14-21 | Ohio State +6 v. Illinois | Top | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 4 h 23 m | Show |
Ohio State vs Illinois 3:30 ET Buckeyes (+) over Illini- Win or lose in this Big Ten Championship title game Illinois is more than likely receive a a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance. Ohio State has closed strong and ranked No. 9 and could earn a No. 2 seed with a win here. The Illini have won 13 of their last 14 games overall and are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall. The Buckeyes are 10-3 ATS on neutral sites and 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs and the underdog is 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Oklahoma State v. Texas -124 | Top | 86-91 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
Oklahoma State vs Texas 6:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Cowboys- Both clubs moved up the Big-12 pecking order as the conference two top seed are out and for different reasons. Texas was able to advance to the Finals without making a shot as Kansas had player testing positive for the virus and Oklahoma State did it with usual way by defeating Baylor 83-74 last night. It seems a bit off that the Longhorns opened the favorite here and that is a bit of a surprise as OK St is 16-56 ATS as underdogs and Texas is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall as favorites but the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take TEXAS! |
|||||||
03-12-21 | Ole Miss +1.5 v. LSU | Top | 73-76 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Mississippi vs LSU 9:30 ET Rebels (+) over Tigers- Mississippi started their SEC season on a poor note losing 4-of-5 but have won 8-of-10 overall and are fighting for an NCAA berth and are up against third seed LSU who have won their last two and five of their last seven overall. The Tigers dismantled the Reb's on their own floor 75-61 holding poor shooting Ole Miss to 33% from the floor. But, Mississippi has won their last three and are 4-0 ATS in their last four as underdogs and the dog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Tigers are also 7-18-2 ATS in their lasts 27 games at neutral sites. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

03-12-21 | Missouri +5.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 64-70 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
Missouri vs Arkansas 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- What's going on with SEC basketball with Alabama and Arkansas seeded No. 1 and 2 while the Kentucky's and other former powers sit and watch. No. 8 Arkansas closed the season with eight straight wins and split the series with the Tigers each winning on the others home floor. Missouri just slide by Georgia 73-70 yesterday and the Tigers are 5-1 in games decided by five-points or less. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and I expect another close one tonight! Take MISSOURI! |

03-11-21 | North Carolina v. Virginia Tech +3.5 | Top | 81-73 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
North Carolina at Virginia Tech 9:00 ET Hokies (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina is off the second largest victory margin in ACC playoff history trouncing Notre Dame 101-59 and are favored as the 6th tourney seed while Virginia Tech is the 'higher-seed' and is getting points. The Hokies are 4-1 ATS as dogs and will take advantage of a Tar Heels club that has won 3-of-4 and are 6-2-1 ATS at neutral sites. V.Tech hasn't played in12 days and will be ready for bear. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

The Scarlet nights are 2-5 ATS when are playing lesser teams with losing records. Look fo the twice beaten Hoosiers to get the money here. Take INDIANA! |

03-10-21 | Duke v. Louisville +2.5 | Top | 70-56 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 33 m | Show |
Duke vs Louisville 6:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Blue Devils- The last time I saw these two they were going at it head-to-head 10 days ago and the Cardinals (+5) won in overtime 80-72 at Chapel Hill despite Matthew Hurt's career high 37 points for the Blue Devils. Louisville who swept both meetings against Duke for the first time of course fell to Virginia their next time out 78-68 and opened a small (-2.5) underdog here. The Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and get it done once again here. Take LOUISVILLE! |
|||||||
03-10-21 | Marquette v. Georgetown +3 | Top | 49-68 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
Marquette vs Georgetown 3:00 ET Hoyas (+) over Golden Eagles- These two Big East bottom feeders have shown little on the court this season as Georgetown started by losing eight of their first 11 and Marquette really never got anything going and had to win four of their final five to end at 13-13 and 8-11 in conference play. The Golden Eagles are just 5-12 ATS on neutral sites and just 3-8 ATS after a SU win while the Hoyas are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 overall and 4-1 ATS after a SU win. Marquette won the only meetings between the pair as a 4.5-point favorite winning 64-60 at Georgetown. Hoyas seeking revenge and get it! Take GEORGETOWN! |

03-09-21 | Miami-FL +3.5 v. Pittsburgh | Top | 79-73 | Win | 100 | 16 h 26 m | Show |
Miami-Fl vs Pittsburgh 2:00 ET Hurricanes (+) over Panthers- If you have watched these two teams play this season you'll understand why they are seeded 12th and 13th in the weakest ACC conference team-wise from top to bottom that I can ever remember. (But, I forget a lot...) Both Pittsburgh and Miami coming limping into the ACC playoffs with the Hurricanes off on the right foot with a win over Boston College last Friday ending a six-game losing streak. The Panthers have lost 6-of-7 as well including a 77-62 beatdown by Clemson last Tuesday the team they will meet if they survive here. But, alas...they won't! This is the worst season in Miami basketball in 27 years and it was due more the most part by players losing time with the virus and a season ending injury in early December to All-ACC guard Chris Lykes. Jim Larranaga is too good a coach to end the season without a win here. Canes 7-2 SU in last nine meetings over Panthers and 8-3 ATS last 11. Take MIAMI-FLORIDA! |
|||||||
03-07-21 | Wisconsin +7 v. Iowa | Top | 73-77 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Iowa 12:30 ET Badgers (+) over Hawkeyes- These two ranked clubs are moving in opposite directions as the regular Big Ten season closes as the Badgers have dropped four of their last five games and Iowa has won six of their past seven games overall. In an earlier meeting between these two the Hawkeyes won easy at Wisconsin 77-162 as Luka Garza put up 30 points while his counterpart Micah Potter had 23 points and 11 rebounds for Wisconsin. Despite their recent slump the Badgers are 8-2-2 ATS in their last 12 after a SU loss and they are 7-2 ATS on Sundays. The road team is 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings as well. Take WISCONSIN! |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Virginia v. Louisville +2 | Top | 68-58 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
Virginia at Louisville 4:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Cavaliers- Virginia who broke a 3-game losing streak last time out has failed to 'cover' in 4-straight games but has secured a 'Double-Bye' in the ACC tournament this coming week. Louisville who hasn't played since their OT win over Duke last Sunday needs a win here to get their own 'Double-Bye' for the tourney. The Cavaliers are 2-5-1 ATS against teams with winning records in their last seven while the Cardinals are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight home games. Add that the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take LOUISVILLE! |

Texas at Oklahoma 9:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Sooners- It started with na poor performance and loss to lowly Kansas State as a 10-point favorite and then a pair of losses to rival Oklahoma State and now Oklahoma has dropped three straight. The Sooners have lost their last four against the pints and 5-of-6 with just an overtime win over West Virginia since February 6th. Texas has been no prize to it's backers as they are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 outings with their lone 'covers' coming against the bottom two Big-12 clubs Iowa State and TCU. The road team is 6-0 ATS in their series and the underdog is 15-3 ATS in the last 18 meetings. Take TEXAS! |

Oklahoma State at Baylor 7:00 ET Bears (-) over Cowboys- Baylor didn't get to has six games cancelled over a three week period because of virus concerns and since they returned to action they have been underwhelming with a narrow win over low,y Iowa State a loss at Kansas and an unimpressive OT win at West Virginia. But, here they are a huge favorite over an Oklahoma State team that is on a run winning six straIght. Well guess what the Cowboys streak is over and so are the Bears doldrums. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
03-03-21 | Creighton +5 v. Villanova | Top | 60-72 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
Creighton at Villanova 8:30 ET Bluejays (+) over Wildcats- Villanova is coming off their worst shooting performance in over a decade as they were just 2-of-27 from beyond the arc in their 73-61 loss to Butler last time out. The Wildcats look to even the season series at home where they are 8-0 SU on the season having lost 86-70 at Creighton three weeks ago but are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games against teams with winning records. The Bluejays had their 4-game win streak stopped by Xavier but can win the Big East regular season title outright with a win here and again in their final game against Butler. They are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as underdogs and 5-1 ATS as road dogs and the pups are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Cats are not as strong as previous clubs and fall short here. Take CREIGHTON! |

Clemson at Syracuse 5:00 ET Tigers (+) over Orange- Syracuse is coming off a huge come-from-behind home 72-70 victory over North Carolina on Monday as a 2-point underdogs and now the line has shifted. That win was their fourth in their last six games while Clemson has won their last five and has a 78-61 win over the 'Cuse when they held the visitors to just three field goals in the first half although they are 12-1 SU at home the Orange are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records and 1-4 ATS after a SU win.

03-02-21 | Indiana +3 v. Michigan State | Top | 58-64 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
Indiana at Michigan State 8:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- Both of these former Big Ten powerhouses are off losses with the Hoosiers having lost a season high three in-a-row while Michigan State was pounded by Maryland Sunday ending a 3-game win streak. Two of the Spartans wins came over a pair of Top-5 ranked teams Big Ten teams Illinois and Ohio State and well as a 78-71 win at Bloomington 10 days ago. Both of these clubs are on the NCAA 'bubble' and will need to close the season with wins here and in the conference playoffs. Indiana is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 11-5 ATS after a SU loss while MSU who is 10-3 SU at home is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games, 5-15 ATS in their last 20 overall and 5-17 ATS in their last 22 as favorites including 1-7 ATS as home favorites.

03-01-21 | North Carolina v. Syracuse +2 | Top | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
North Carolina at Syracuse 7:00 ET Orange (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina ended a 10-game losing streak against ranked opponents with their come-back win over Florida State on Saturday helping complete 'our' 5-1 winning day. The Tar Heels are one of the better rebounding teams in the nation and will be up against a Syracuse team that lost to Georgia Tech Saturday and were outscored 54-24 in the paint. NC trailed the Seminoles by 16-points but had four freshman lead the comeback by scoring in double figures. They won and covered the first meeting between these two (-5) 81-75 in Chapel Hill and have won 10 0f the last 11 meetings with the Orange straight-up. Carolina is 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games after a SU win and 2-8 ATS on the road against teams with winning home records.

02-28-21 | Michigan State v. Maryland -2.5 | Top | 55-73 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
Michigan State at Maryland 2:00 ET Terrapins (-) over Spartans- It has been an unusual season for Michigan State and Tom Izzo as they were ranked as high as No. 6 in the nation early on and have won their last three games after falling to 4-9 in Big Ten play. Wins over Indiana, No. 5 Ohio State and No. 6 Illinois have given the Spartans life with a dash of hope that they can continue the NCAA tournament streak going as they have qualified every year since 1997. Maryland is well rested having played last seven days ago and have won four in-a-row and are 4-1 ATS on Sundays. The Spartans are just 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games. Take MARYLAND! |

02-26-21 | Purdue v. Penn State -110 | Top | 73-52 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
Purdue at Penn State 7:00 ET Nittany Lions over Boilermakers- With the long and short history of these two clubs it is difficult to see why the Boilermakers did not open the favorite here. After all Purdue has won 10 of the last 11 meetings straight up and are off double-digit wins over Michigan State and Nebraska. Penn State meanwhile just ended a 4-game losing streak with a win of their own over Nebraska but are 1-3 ATS in their last four games overall. Purdue is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games. The Lions are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games but are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. This 'line' looks like a 'come-get-me' play on Purdue...so Take PENN STATE! |

02-25-21 | Ohio State v. Michigan State +4 | Top | 67-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
Ohio State at Michigan State 9:00 ET Spartans (+) over Buckeyes- No. 4 OSU had their 7-game win streak ended last time out falling to Michigan at home 92-87 but still have won 10-of-12. The Buckeyes defeated MSU in their first meeting 79-62 but the Spartans who were hit with COVID issues are a different team this time around and have won their last two including an impressive 81-72 win over No. 5 Illinois last time out. The Buckeyes are 7-0 ATS after a SU loss and 6-0 ATS as road favorites but the home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and MSU is 12-4 ATS as home underdogs. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

02-25-21 | Iowa +5.5 v. Michigan | Top | 57-79 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 27 m | Show |
Iowa at Michigan 7:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Wolverines- A pair of top ranked Big Ten clubs square off in Ann Arbor where the No. 3 ranked Wolverines will host a streaking Iowa squad that has won for straight. Michigan is on a five-game win streak of their own and who is 11-0 SU at home going a more than respectable 8-3 ATS. This is their first meeting of the year between these two and the Hawkeyes bring the nation's leading scorer (24.7) in Luka Garza who also averages 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Iowa plays well after a sub-par performance as they are 16-5 ATS after an ATS loss and the Wolverines continue to play well going 8-2 ATS after a SU win. Wolves are off a win over Ohio State and this one should come down to the final buzzer. Take IOWA! |

02-24-21 | Cincinnati +1.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Tulsa 9:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Golden Hurricane- I've said it so many times that people are just tired of hearing that we should always consider fading the Bearcats as they are 3-12 ATS this season and believe it or not 'we' have had them two of the three times that they have covered the spread this season. So, here we are again, looking to cash-in on Cincinnati after their most lopsided loss in 10 years as Houston (Power play winner) crushed them 90-52. Prior to that loss the Cats had actually won four straight while Tulsa is off a win over Temple after having lost three straight and 5-of-6. The 'price' of this matchup tells me the Bearcats will rebound from their loss and the Golden Showers will revert to form. Take CINCINNATI! |

Penn State at Iowa 5:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hawkeyes- There is not doubt who the better team is here as No. 11 Iowa has opened a double-digit favorite over Penn State.

The Hawkeyes are rebounding nicely after losing four of five and have averaged 87 points in those wins lead by Luka Garza who is scoring 24.7 points per games. The Lions are a mirror image of Iowa losing four of their last five giving up a 59-51 lead over Ohio State getting outscored 18-2 down the stretch by the Buckeyes but are 5-2 after an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

Virginia at Duke 8:00 ET Blue Devils over Cavaliers- Hey do you realize because of the lack of a NCAA Tournament last season that Virginia is still the defending National Champions. Last time out they were shellacked by Florida State 81-60 and no defending champion gets beat that badly and they are 7-19 ATS after a loss of 20-points or more. Duke who almost quit the season has shown they still have some bite as they have won their last two following a 3-game losing streak but are just 5-12 ATS on the season including only 2-8 ATS at home. The Cavaliers are 31-14-2 ATS in their last 47 road games but just 4-9-1 ATS against teams with winning home records and Duke is 6-4 SU as hosts. Also, the road team is 21-6-1 ATS in the last 28 meetings. Take DUKE! |

Texas Tech at Kansas 2:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Jayhawks- The 'number' tells the tale in this matchup as the Jayhawks who are 10-1 SU at home come up favored by less than a bucker over the Red Raiders. Kansas has a four game winning streak but upon close examination you will see that three of those wins came over Iowa State and Kansas State who have one Big-12 win between them. Texas Tech is chomping at the bit as they have had 11 days off and have one of the best defenses in the country allowing just 62.7 points per game and are 4-1 ATS as road underdogs while the Jayhawks are 1-4 ATS against teams with winning records and are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Saturday games.

Florida at Arkansas 7:00 ET Gators (+) over Razorbacks- This Florida team should be ready to go as they haven't played a game in 13 days and haven't won a game since jan. 30 at West Virginia and lost at home to South Carolina. Prior to that loss the Gators and had won four straight and now face Arkansas who defeated Missouri last time out in overtime and perhaps played their best games of the year. I expect a little let down here after that huge victory their first win over a Top-10 team in five years. The Razorbacks have won three straight and 6-of-7 and are 12-1 SU at home. Florida is 4-1 ATS against teams with winning records and they will be 'up' for this game. Take FLORIDA! |

After losing 4-of-5 Iowa got 'right' with an easy 79-66 win over Rutgers earning their first cover in six games. What can be said about Michigan State as the lose even when winning. The Spartans are a horrid 4-13 ATS on the season while the overrated Hawkeyes have the nation's No. 3 offense but alas they also have the No. 274 ranked defense. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

What makes this so surprising is that they are No. 2 in the nation in scoring at 89.1PPG. Indiana started the Hawks on their downward trend and they will add on to it today.

Utah has also had some clubs that were on the verge of breaking through and made it to the Sweet-16 but again a middle-of-the-road this season. This is year is a bit different as Sean Millers' club is good enough to make the tournament but will have difficulty.

Virginia Tech was a huge winner for us Saturday over rival No. 8 Virginia 65-51 and now head to Pittsburgh where the Panthers fell to our 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks winner Notre Dame 84-58 their worst loss of the season.

Mississippi is off a pair of SEC road losses at Arkansas and Georgia the second of which irritated Rebels coach Kermit Davis to call out his club for lack of hustle down the stretch.

Saturday, Oklahoma hosted the SEC's hottest squad as Alabama has won 10-straight while the home Sooners were to be without leading scorer, assist man and rebounder All Big-12 Austin Reaves and of course they out-played the 'Ebbing' Tide winning 66-61. Now, Tech won on the road at LSU and managed to 'cover' although they didn't play all that well. They return home ready to pounce on a Sooners club that will come out of the clouds about halftime but by then it will be too late. Take TEXAS TECH! |

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.

The Cowboys play tough defense allowing opponents just 39% FG shooting although undersized and ranking No. 222 in defensive rebounding.

U.S.C. at Arizona 9:00 ET Trojans (+) over Wildcats- This could play out as one of the better Pac -12 match-ups as 9-1 unranked Arizona winners of four straight including a pair of wins over the Washington schools hosts 6-2 USC off a smothering win over Utah. The Trojans who have the size to get the ball off the rim held the Utes to 27.9% shooting and just 46 points. Arizona also makes claim to the ball off the boards as they possess a plus-11.4 edge in rebounds. USC is 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as road underdogs and 17-7 ATS against teams with a winning record while Arizona is 2-6 ATS against teams with a winning record. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

Iowa at Maryland 7:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Hawkeyes- Iowa as most are aware have one of the best 'big men' in the country in Luke Garza but many are not aware of the fact that they are a great 3-point shooting team that helps open the inside. The Hawkeyes have rebounded from their OT loss at Minnesota and are off a 77-75 win at No. 14 Rutgers. Maryland has dropped two straight after an upset win at Wisconsin and will try and get it done with defense as they allow 66.6 ppg while Iowa scores at a 92.7 clip. The trends are all one-sided and if I wrote them out it might steer me away from who I believe is the winner. Take MARYLAND! |

Virginia Tech at Louisville 6:30 ET Hokies (+) over Cardinals- No. 19 Virginia Tech (8-1) has played seven games at home and two on neutral sights which makes this their first true road game of the season. But, how much of an 'actual' road game can this be if there are no spectators, no fans there to intimate their opponents and to harass the refs. Still, the Hokies are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games and are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 overall. The Hokies had their game with Virginia postponed so it has been a week since their 80-78 win over Miami their fourth straight. No. 25 Louisville has won three straight after suffering pounding at Wisconsin 85-48 their sole loss and are 6-2-1 ATS at home. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

LSU at Florida 2:00 ET Tigers (+) over Gators- Both clubs are coming off dominate performances as Florida was never headed at Vanderbilt winning 91-72 while the Tigers manhandled Texas A&M 77-54. I must give the gators credit as they are 4-1 and have played four of their first five games away from home only hosting Stetson winning 86-40 as 24-point favorites. LSU (6-1) unlike the Gators have played just one true road game at St. Louis receiving their only defeat 85-81 as the Billikens made 44-of-70 shots.Neither team has any impressive trends to speak of other than the road team is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings.

Michigan at Maryland 7:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Wolverines- So here comes No. 16 ranked and undefeated Michigan (7-0) into College Park and the Terrapins return home after upsetting ranked Wisconsin in Madison. The Wolverines just had an easy time as Nebraska where they were never threatened winning 80-69 as a 7.5-point favorite. That was Michigan's first game since Dec. 13 and in their last meeting in the final game last season the Big Ten co-champs who closed the season with a 83-70 win over the visiting Wolverines.

12-30-20 | Mississippi State +2 v. Georgia | Top | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
Mississippi State at Georgia 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Bulldogs- So big bad Georgia is undefeated (7-0) but was so lightly regarded by the oddsmakers that two games ago against a 2-5 Cincinnati team they were a 2-point underdog at home. Miss State is 4-0 at home and 0-3 on the road and all three were at neutral sites against better competition. This is the start of a 'new' season as it is the SEC opener for both and it takes on that little something extra. Of any trends of significance Georgia holds the edge but the oddsmaker say different. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

Purdue at Rutgers 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Rutgers was 6-0 with a pair of Big Ten wins over Maryland and Illinois and then ran into Ohio State was were out-classed 80-68 after building a 13-point lead. The Scarlet Knights won their first five games by double-digits but a 20-1 run by the Buckeyes brought Rutgers back to reality. The are lead by one-gang Ron Harper Jr. who can't do it alone and the Knights will be short handed as a pair of their standout freshman are questionable. Purdue had won the first eight meetings between the two until last season when Rutgers swept the series (2-0) and this time out the boilermakers get their revenge. Take PURDUE! |

Colorado at Arizona 9:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Wildcats- Something smells here! Arizona (6-1) who perennially is a national contender on the hardwood is a meager favorite at home over Colorado who since joining the Pac-12 in 2011 has never won in Tucson. Get this the Buffaloes are 13-39 ATS in their last 52 road games and yet they virtually have to win the game outright to win the bet. Coach Sean Miller said of his Wildcats he has five new faces starting and they may have won six games but they are 0-1 against Division I schools. Losing to Stanford in their conference opener. The Buffaloes are a veteran team that leads the nation in free throw percentage (85.9%) while Arizona is shooting 54.4% at the line in their last two games. Take COLORADO! |

The Cavaliers have won three straight but haven't played anyone the likes No. 1 Gonzaga's (6-0) who just played a pair of games against Northwestern State just to stay sharp as they won by 38 and 17 as 39 and 43-point favorites. Virginia (4-1) will be facing a Bulldogs team that averages 95PPG and Tony Bennett will have his No. 5 ranked defense ready and they rise to meet their competition and are 37-16 ATS in their last 53 games as an underdog. Take VIRGINIA! |

Marquette has defeated a pair of ranked teams taking down No. 4 Wisconsin 67-65 two weeks ago and Creighton 89-84 on Monday. But, the Eagles are now favored and should have difficulty focusing and that means trouble as the Pirates have a surefire No.1 draft pick in Sandro Mamukelashvili (how 'bout dat) who posted 32 points shooting 12-of-18 with nine rebounds against a weak red Storm. Add that the road team is 21-7-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings and the underdog is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take SETON HALL! |

The Blue Devils take to the road for the first time against a Notre Dame team off a 64-63 win over Kentucky scoring just 16 points in the second have hanging on for the win. The Fighting Irish also lost to a pair of Big Ten powers MSU and Ohio State and this will be this their fourth game against a ranked opponent as they go 0-4.

Marquette at UCLA 10:00 ET Bruins (-) over 'Once Warriors'- A pair of 4-1 clubs that last met in 1964 when both side were coached by legends of their day and Hall of Fame members UCLA's John Wooden and Marquette's AL McGuire. The 'Legend of Westwood' got his Nat'l Champion Bruins to best (61-52) of the brash New York rookie coach that day, McGuire later captured his NCAA Championship (1977 vs NC), but hey just wanted to say I remember that as Gail Goodrich got the best of Cazzie Russel of Michigan in the 91-80 Finals victory as the star and MVP Bill Bradly led Princeton to the finals. Okay, so what...well the Bruins also defeated Marquette in Dec. 1949 but I was only nine months old and don't remember it but I like the 71-year and two game streak to continue. Take UCLA! PS-I could have written up some scenario but the answer would have been the same...BRUINS! |

Both teams have four starters averaging double-digits with Prentiss Hubb of the Fighting Irish leading all scores with 23-ppg. Each club is dealing with injuries and the 'Shamrockers' are down to eight scholarship players. Buckeyes playing their first game on the road and against quality competition may well struggle here. You can only play with five at a time anyway...take NOTRE DAME! |

Wisconsin at Marquette 7:00 ET Badgers (-) over Golden Eagles- Wisconsin (3-0) is a deep veteran team that was making a run when the season closed down last March winning their final eight and have started with three straight this season. Marquette (2-1) fell short against Oklahoma State Tuesday as they weren't able to crack the Cowboys zone shooting just 8-foe-31 in the second half. If they think OK St can play defense wait until they get a load of the Badgers. Both coaches preach defense first so this should a low scoring game with the Badgers controlling the tempo. Take WISCONSIN! |
