02-10-22 | Leicester v. Liverpool OVER 3.5 | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 44 m | Show |
EPL USA Network TV Rout Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 in Liverpool vs Leicester @ 2:45 ET - Liverpool is the highest scoring club in the Premier League this season and averaging nearly 3 goals per match. I know they have also been very strong defensively and particularly this is true at home. However, it will be tough to produce a clean sheet hosting a Leicester club known for its attacking style and having averaged scoring nearly 2 goals per match this season. Could we see a 3-2 type match here or a 4-1 match? Absolutely! Note that Leicester has a leaky defense and allows plenty of goals and that is why their road matches have seen them combine with their opponents for an average of 4 goals per game. Leicester's manager is an ex-manager of Liverpool and I have a feeling the heavily favored hosts want to not only win this match but to put an exclamation point on it! That said, I see this one getting over the total with an exciting attacking style being the theme for both clubs in this one. 10* OVER 3.5 in Liverpool |

02-09-22 | Blackhawks v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
NHL Total of the Week Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 +110 in Edmonton Oilers vs Chicago Blackhawks @ 8:05 ET - The Oilers got shutout on home ice yesterday and lost 4-0 to the Golden Knights. I fully expect Edmonton to bounce back tonight but, at the same time, I absolutely can not trust their defense or netminding. The good news for the Oilers is that the Blackhawks enter this game having allowed 4.8 goals per game their last 4 games. Chicago's Marc-Andre Fleury has been struggling between the pipes again. The bad news for Edmonton fans tonight is that the Oilers have allowed 4.2 goals per game their last 5 games on home ice. Edmonton is so strong in terms of their top-end talent and high-end scoring ability but their rather smallish and less physical blue line tends to come back to haunt them. They just do not have the grinders back there that they need and Chicago has talented forwards and will take advantage and score well in this one. Look for the Oilers to answer them goal for goal there and, of course, the hosts are favored heavily on the money line for a reason here. Look for a 4-3 or 5-3 type game in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Edmonton |

02-09-22 | Spurs v. Cavs OVER 216 | Top | 92-105 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
NBA Earliest Dominator Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 216 in Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs @ 7:10 ET - The Cavaliers could have Curtis Levert (acquired from Indiana) on the floor for this one tonight. Also, Darius Garland could be back after missing 4 straight games. Even if those guys don't play, although odds favor both coming back and at least one of them for sure, I like the over in this match-up. The Spurs have been so poor on the defensive end and they like to play an uptempo style and Cleveland, in an Indiana sandwich, could just "play along" here in a rather meaningless non-conference match-up. The Cavaliers just beat the Pacers and now have a game at Indiana on deck. So this is a classic flat spot for the Cavs in terms of defensive intensity. Also, the over is on a perfect 5-0 run in meetings between these teams. The Spurs have trended under on the road and the Cavaliers have trended under at home this season but that is what has resulted in downward line movement here. The result is exceptional value on the over in this match-up. 10* OVER 216 in Cleveland |

02-09-22 | Red Wings v. Flyers -110 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
NHL PA Insider Wednesday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -110 vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7 ET - There are 32 teams in the NHL now that the Kraken joined the league and only 1 of them (Montreal) has fewer road wins (3) than the Red Wings (6). The point is that Detroit is very over-valued here. The Red Wings are a young and scrappy team that is building around their youth movement but that still does not change the fact that Detroit has won just 29% of road games this season! The Flyers blew a 2-0 lead but were tied 3-3 in their most recent loss (4-3) to the Islanders but they followed that up with B2B wins and the victory that took OT involved allowing a late goal and it never should taken OT for Philly to get the full 2 points in the standings. The point is that the Flyers have been playing better than people realize. They are more talented than many realize and they also will get Derek Brassard back in the lineup tonight. Claude Giroux was MVP of the All Star Game played here in Las Vegas where I live and the entire club is really rallying around him and I think you could see a push from Philly post All Star break! Look for a 3rd straight win tonight and take advantage of this bargain line. 10* PHILADELPHIA -110 |

02-09-22 | Southampton v. Tottenham Hotspur OVER 2.5 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show |
EPL TV Total of the Week Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Tottenham vs Southampton @ 2:45 ET - Tottenham scoring 1.6 goals per match at home this season and Southampton allowing 2.2 goals per match on enemy soil. Given those numbers don't be surprised if Tottenham finds the back of the net at least twice in this one. As for Southampton, I certainly do not see them remaining without a goal in this match-up. Tottenham has allowed 1.2 goals per match and Southampton is scoring an average of 1.2 goals per match. Tottenham has not produced a clean sheet in any of their last 6 matches across all competitions. Southampton, in their last 11 matches across all competitions, has featured only ONE time that either they or their opponent were held without a goal. Also, 10 of their last 13 matches across all competitions have totaled at least 3 goals and 3 of the last 4 meetings between these two clubs has totaled 3 or more goals. 10* OVER 2.5 in Tottenham |

02-08-22 | Villanova v. St. John's +4 | Top | 75-69 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
CBB PA Insider Tuesday 10* Top Play St John's Red Storm +4 vs Villanova Wildcats @ 8:30 ET - Villanova is a great team but St John's is very scrappy and this is particularly true at home. The Red Storm are seeking revenge for getting blown out at Nova earlier this season. In that game, though St John's lost by double digits they simply shot very poorly! Villanova was on fire from deep and the Red Storm had about the same number of 3-point attempts plus overall had 15 more FG attempts in the game but it was just an off-shooting game for them. The Wildcats also are likely to be without Gillespie in this one and he is arguably their best player and a team leader. This is a very tricky spot for the Cats and the home team has won each of the last 4 meetings between these teams. The safe play here is to grab the points but we likely will not need them! 10* ST JOHN'S +4 |

NBA PA Money Line NBA 10* Philadelphia 76ers Money Line -105 vs Phoenix Suns @ 7:10 ET - The 76ers opened up as a 2.5 point favorite and now this line is down near a pick'em. Long-time followers know I love to fade line moves. Of course Phoenix is a great team but they are on the road here in the 2nd game of a back to back and playing their 4th game in 6 nights and the travel hasn't been particularly easy. The Suns have gone from the Southeast to the Northeast to the Midwest and now back to the Northeast again. Philly is at home and is rested and also has not had a back to back since mid-January. The Sixers have two off days on deck after this too as they do not play again until Friday. Philadelphia wants to make up for their most recent home game as it was a disappointing home loss to the Wizards. The 76ers had won 8 of 10 home games heading into that one. They get right back on track here. 10* PHILADELPHIA Money Line -105 |

02-08-22 | Hurricanes -1.5 v. Senators | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
NHL Puck Line Rout Tuesday 9* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 +105 @ Ottawa Senators @ 7:05 ET - The Hurricanes outplayed the Maple Leafs last night but lost 4-3 in OT in a frustrating loss that should not have happened. Carolina will bounce back stronger than ever tonight and they catch a Senators team off a rare big win versus the Devils last night as Ottawa prevailed 4-1. The Sens have been playing better recently but are still no match for a Canes team angry off a loss in a game in which they know they deserved better. Of course the money line is prohibitive here as it is far too pricey but we get value on the puck line and I do expect a road team win by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes are 4-1 last 5 times when off a loss and 3 of the 4 wins by a multiple goal margin. Look for this one to be a rout as well. 9* CAROLINA -1.5 +105 |

02-08-22 | Devils v. Canadiens OVER 6 | Top | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
NHL Contrarian Crusher Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Montreal Canadiens vs New Jersey Devils @ 7:05 ET - Considering neither one of these hockey clubs have been lighting the NHL on fire this season you may be reluctant to play on over here. In typical contrarian fashion though I am pounding this over with a top play. The Devils outshot the Senators last night but were done in by a goalie who was on his game. I don't expect that to be the case tonight. Both NJ and Montreal have been struggling to get consistent play between the pipes for varying reasons. The result is that the Devils have allowed 4 goals per game their last 11 games in a tough 1-10 stretch. The Canadiens have lost 12 of 13 games and allowed 4.5 goals per game during this rough 13-game stretch. Look for both teams to take advantage of leaky defense and questionable goaltending and this one should easily get past the 6-goal mark. 10* OVER 6 in Montreal |

EPL Goal Line Dominator Tuesday 9* Top Play West Ham United -1 +105 vs Watford @ 2:45 ET - West Ham has dominated Watford in recent meetings. Watford is emphasizing defense but continues to struggle to score goals. The visitors will not be able to keep up with a West Ham club that is scoring an average of 2 goals per match on their home pitch this season. Also, the hosts have pounded Watford for at least 3 goals in each of last 4 meetings. The visitors are in the regulation zone in the table for a reason and West Ham is off a disappointing effort in their most recent match and will respond strongly here. Lay it! 9* WEST HAM UNITED -1 +105 |

EPL Afternoon Annihilation Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Newcastle United vs Everton @ 2:45 ET - Newcastle does struggle to score goals overall but they are better when they are on their home pitch. Also, they are hosting an Everton club that is not too far above them in the table and has been a disappointment this season. Look for both clubs, also bolstered by some recent additions in terms of personnel, to play this match with a lot of energy and to be more aggressive on the attack. There is some reason for optimism right now for each club based on some recent developments and we should see a spirited match with more scoring opportunities than you might have otherwise expected. Each club pushing hard for the full 3 points in the table here and does not want to settle for a draw and a split of the spoils. I also don't foresee either club producing a clean sheet so that means we should see at least a 2-1 final in this one. Everton concedes about 2 goals per game on enemy pitch and Newcastle conceding about 2 goals per game on their home pitch this season. Both clubs would like to stop the bleeding but the scoring chances will again be there in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 in Newcastle |

02-07-22 | Raptors v. Hornets OVER 224 | Top | 116-101 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
NBA Total of the Week Monday 10* Top Play OVER 224 in Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors @ 7:10 ET - The Hornets have been trending under but this is the right match-up to get them going again. On the season, Charlotte has been a high-scoring team. Now, after an ugly low-scoring home loss to the Heat, the Hornets will bounce back against a team that has been playing plenty of run and gun basketball of late. The Raptors are on a run of 3 straight overs and overs in 6 of last 8 games overall. Speaking of trending to overs, when Toronto and Charlotte have squared off the over is 5-2 in last 7 games. The average points scored in the first half of the last 4 meetings is 130! That is a pace for 260 in each game. Though they did not get to that lofty total, they did get to overs in all but 1 of those 4 games and the fact is these teams are rested (each was off yesterday) and I expect a fast-paced game all the way through which will fly over the very manageable total posted on this game. 10* OVER 224 in Charlotte |

02-07-22 | Hurricanes +120 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
NHL Top Blowout Monday 10* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes Money Line +120 @ Toronto Maple Leafs @ 7:05 ET - Great match-up. The Maple Leafs are expected to use goalie Petr Mrazek rather than their usual starting goalie, Jack Campbell. Mrazek use to be with the Hurricanes. However, Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen use to be with the Maple Leafs. So this is a unique match-up for sure. What I like about Andersen in this match-up is he already beat the Leafs 4-1 in Carolina when these teams met earlier this season and he is the normal starting goalie for the Canes. The Leafs are reaching here by giving Mrazek a shot against his former team. I do expect Andersen to play in this one even though he, like Campbell, was at the All Star game in Vegas this past weekend. No matter who is in the crease for either team here, I like the Hurricanes in this match-up. Yes, I respect the Maple Leafs and they are a very strong team but Carolina just has more grit in my opinion. They play just like their head coach Rod Brind'Amour, long-time Hurricane and Flyer, use to play and that has given this team a hard-nosed attitude and they are tough to beat. They have won 16 of 20 games now and remember they started this season winning 14 of 16 games! When this team gets hot, look out, and they are on fire again right now. The Maple Leafs have been hot too but played a number of weaker foes during this stretch. Also, prior to the 5-game winning streak Toronto was on a run that saw them lose 6 of 13 games. The Hurricanes, when rolling and motivated, are simply the better team and getting them at plus money (since this game is at the Scotiabank Arena) is something I will not pass up on! 10* CAROLINA +120 |

CAA Game of Year Monday 10* Top Play Hofstra Pride -6 vs NC Wilmington Seahawks @ 5 ET - This line has gone from an opener of 7.5 to as low as a 6 as of mid-morning game-day and it is now "go time" with this one. Yes the Seahawks have the much better record than the Pride but why do you think this game is priced this way? You think the odds makers made a mistake? They did not! Hofstra was installed as a 7.5 point home favorite with good reason in this one. The Pride have revenge from a loss at UNC-Wilmington a little over a week ago. They lost the game by 6 but were outscored by 21 points from 3-point land on a rare poor shooting night for Hofstra. Also, the Pride severely outrebounded the Seahawks by a 13-carom margin but were done in by a rare turnover-prone effort as they turned it over 17 times in the game. UNCW turned it over only 9 times in that game. Now with the Pride as the hosts watch all the flukiness of that first game result get flip-flopped here. Hofstra will not be denied here as they have also played the tougher schedule so far this season but are set up well here with an edge as they are playing 3rd straight home game while the Seahawks are on the road for a 3rd straight time! 10* HOFSTRA -6 |

02-06-22 | Pacers v. Cavs OVER 216.5 | Top | 85-98 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
NBA Total Dominator Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 216.5 in Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers @ 6 ET - The Cavaliers could get Darius Garland back today. The Pacers could get both Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis back today. Either way I like the over. Indiana has been given a lot of time to younger players recently and this has strengthened their bench when guys like Brogdon and Sabonis are back. The fast-paced style that the Pacers have been playing with has led to a perfect 7-0 run to the over. I know Cleveland likes to play slower and the Cavaliers have been trending under. However, the last 4 meetings between these teams have averaged 217 points per game and the way the Pacers have been playing of late this game should have a much stronger pace than even those 4 match-ups did. That said, this one gets well into the 220s. Indiana, not including OT, allowing 121 points last 11 games! The Pacers, not including OT, scoring an average of 114 points per game last 11 games! 10* OVER 216.5 in Cleveland |

CBB Daytime Dominator Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 148.5 in Iowa Hawkeyes vs Minnesota Golden Gophers @ 4:30 ET - Iowa fired up off B2B losses and an overall unacceptable stretch that has seen them lose 4 of last 7 games. The Hawkeyes will respond in a huge way here at home in this game. Iowa has averaged 88.8 points per game at home this season. Minnesota is averaging 69.9 points per game on the road this season. The Golden Gophers have endured a 1-7 stretch that has seen them allow 74.4 points per game. Now they face a team capable of hanging 90 points on them and I see an incredible tempo to this game as the Hawkeyes are itching for that huge big home win to get them back on track. This is the perfect spot for it and Minnesota has the talent to hang around within about 10 or 12 in this game and that should send this soaring over the total. 10* OVER 148.5 in Iowa |

NBA Non-Conf Total of the Month Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 219.5 in Washington Wizards vs Phoenix Suns @ 7:10 ET - This total opened up at 223 and has now fallen to as low as 219.5 this morning. The Wizards are without Bradley Beal and he is a big scorer. However, Washington is still battling hard and just scored 106 points in a win at Philly Wednesday in a game that easily could have been higher-scoring as the Wizards had 59 points at the half. Washington is known for scoring better when at home and has only had one "dud" in their last dozen home games. In the other 11 games at home during this hot stretch of scoring, the Wizards have averaged 115 points per game! The Suns come into this one having averaged 112.4 points per game on the road this season. The over is 5-0 in last 5 meetings between these teams. With Phoenix off a loss at Atlanta, the Suns will come out fired up for a big road win and they are going to push the tempo here and also keep their foot on the gas throughout this game. Phoenix responds off a loss, Wizards fight hard at home (only once in last dozen home games have they had a loss by more than a 5-point margin) and the result is a high-scoring shootout here. 10* OVER 219.5 in Washington |

02-05-22 | Penn State v. Wisconsin OVER 129.5 | Top | 49-51 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
CBB Big Ten Total of the Year Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 129.5 in Wisconsin Badgers vs Penn State Nittany Lions @ 6 ET - The Nittany Lions are off an upset win versus Iowa and that game was not as high-scoring as it appears because it did go to overtime. However, the 132 points in regulation would have been enough in terms of comparing to the number posted on this match-up for Penn State at Wisconsin. I am well aware of the fact that the Nittany Lions have often struggled to score well on the road this season. However, the win over the Hawkeyes is a big confidence boosting win for this team. Also, Greg Lee is off a strong game at the forward position and the frontcourt of Lee, Seth Lundy and John Harrar can produce solid interior offense for PSU in this one. Wisconsin used to be known for defensive low-scoring grinders but the situation has been much different this season. The Badgers are allowing 67 points per game and 44% shooting from the field! The over is 8-2 in Wisconsin's last 10 games and they do average 75.4 ppg at home. If you consider that number plus the 8.5 point spread in this game you are looking at a game getting into the low 140s and yet this number is hovering near 130. I feel we have excellent line value with the over here as the Badgers are hungry to bounce back at home after a disappointing road loss at Illinois. Wisconsin has averaged 78 ppg last 6 home games. Penn State has allowed 72 points per game in their 6 true road games this season and 75 points per game on the road if you remove the low-scoring grinder with Ohio State from the equation. This total just too low with Badgers poised for a big bounce back on their floor but dealing with a Nittany Lions team surging with confidence right now after beating Iowa. Penn State ready for a solid road performance and can hang around in this game which will push it over the total. 10* OVER 129.5 in Wisconsin |

Rickenbach CBB Daytime Dominator Saturday 10* Top Play Florida Gators -8.5 vs Ole Miss Rebels @ 3:30 ET - Though the Gators probably will not have Colin Castleton back just yet, he has started practicing again and this is giving the Florida team a mental boost as they know one of their best players has an imminent return. The big injury news about this match-up is that Ole Miss just lost freshman guard Daeshun Ruffin for the rest of the season to a knee injury suffered in the Rebels upset win at LSU early this week. Though a freshman, he had taken on a starters role for the last 10 games and he had thrived at the point guard position. In fact, he had 21 points in the upset win over these Gators at Ole Miss last month. His loss is huge and is particularly troublesome because guard Jarkel Joiner is still out. That means Austin Crowley likely will be at the point guard position again. Point guard is such an important position and now Ole Miss down to their third choice there. Also, the home team has won and covered each of the last 4 meetings between these teams. Look for the Gators to win in a home blowout by a double digit margin as they get their revenge. 10* FLORIDA -8.5 |

Rickenbach EPL Game of the Week Saturday 10* Top Play Burnley Money Line +125 vs Watford @ 1 ET - Burnley bolstered by the signing of Wout Weghorst. Watford made managerial change to Roy Hodgson. It will take a little time for the change to Hodgson to have an impact and the visitors also are hurt by the fact that star striker Emmanuel Dennis is suspended for this match. Yes, Burnley has struggled to score goals this season but they also have not allowed many on their home pitch. Indeed, Burnley allowing just 1 goal per match when a host this season. Watford allowing 2 goals per match overall this season. Also, Watford has not been able to deliver a clean sheet in two years, since February of 2020. You can see, given all of the above, why I am expecting at least a 2-1 victory here as Watford has only 2 draws in 20 matches this season. Both clubs going strong for the full 3 points in the table in this one as there are currently down at the bottom of the table. That said, look for Burnley to prevail and pick up a rare victory as Watford has lost 70% of matches this season with defeats in 14 of 20. Conversely the hosts have lost only 8 of 18 and I don't see either team settling for a draw in this one. Someone should pick up the full 3 points in the table given Watford's propensity for avoiding draws. Look for that someone to be Burnley! 10* BURNLEY +125 |

NBA Central Division Total of the Month Friday 10* Top Play OVER 231 in Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls @ 7:10 ET - A lot of injury/covid issues/concerns in this one. It will not matter. No matter who has been on the floor lately, both these teams have been trending over. Yes, the Bulls game last night went to OT but it was over the total by the end of regulation. Also, Chicago is on a perfect 5-0 run to the over in the 2nd game of a B2B. Indiana enters this game on an overall 6-0 run to the over and the Bulls have gone over the total in 4 straight games overall. The Pacers have been forced to play a bunch of younger guys recently and give more minutes than usual to role players as well. The result has been a lack of defensive efficiency but fantastic offensive efficiency. The Pacers, not including OT, have allowed an average of 122 last 7 games and scored an average of 114 last 6 games! The Bulls, not including OT points, have allowed 110 points or more in 6 of last 7 games and have scored 111 points or more in 6 straight games. Chicago averaging 119 per game in those 6 games and tonight's game could go either way in terms of the side in my opinion and that means a 120-119 type game given the above numbers. Look for this one to sneak into the 240s and the line is near the 230 mark. 10* OVER 231 in Indiana |

02-04-22 | Creighton v. Seton Hall -6 | Top | 55-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
CBB Big East Game of the Year Friday 10* Top Play Seton Hall Pirates -6 vs Creighton Bluejays @ 7 ET - I know Bryce Aiken might still be out here but I still like the Pirates a ton in this spot even if he does not play. The key is that if he does he is likely to be close to 100% because his only issue was being in concussion protocol. In my mind the bigger story here is the Bluejays being without center Ryan Kalkbrenner as he rolled his ankle quite badly in Tuesday's game. That is a tough injury so even if Kalkbrenner plays he is unlikely to be himself. From a situational standpoint, this is a great spot as Creighton is off an upset win at Connecticut as a double digit dog! The Bluejays had lost 3 straight road games heading into that one and the margin of the games was 23 points per defeat! Yes Seton Hall has been struggling to cover games lately but the Pirates are 8-3 at home this season and off B2B losses SU as a solid home favorite each of last two games in Newark, the Pirates are hungry. Look for the hosts to respond in a huge way here. Note that Creighton is only making 30.9% of threes this season and on the road they are allowing 37.5% threes! The Pirates stats, when at home, are nearly the identical reverse of that with hot shooting and strong defense. They pull away for the double digit win here in my opinion. 10* SETON HALL -6 |

CBB Earliest Cash Friday 9* Top Play OVER 136.5 in Yale Bulldogs vs Dartmouth Big Green @ 5 ET - Sometimes Dartmouth gets involved in low-scoring grinders but I see Yale dictating the pace and flow of this game on their home floor. The Bulldogs struggled a bit in non-conference action but now are red hot in Ivy League action including knocking off Princeton in their most recent game. As for the Big Green, 4 of their last 6 games have totaled at least 139 points. Each of Dartmouth's 3 road games in Ivy League action have totaled at least 139 points and have actually averaged 145 points apiece! With each team off a big win (Big Green just won at Columbia) confidence riding high for these guard-heavy teams and I look for solid shooting and another high-scoring game. These teams are "feeling it" right now as Dartmouth had a string of tight losses before the win over the Lions and getting over the hump, even though against a weaker foe, was big for them heading into this match-up. Plenty of points here as Big Green do shoot well from 3-point land (even on the road) but also allow high shooting percentages. 9* OVER 136.5 in Yale |

NBA Situational Slaughter Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 224 in Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls @ 7:40 ET - Only 3 of Bulls last 13 games have resulted in an under. Chicago allowing 115 points per game last 6 games but also scoring an average of 120 points per game last 5 games. Toronto has been trending toward lower-scoring numbers than that. However, the Raptors have allowed an average of 111 points per game last 6 games and have scored an average of 114 points per game last 5 games. Zach LaVine is probable for the Bulls here and that is good news in terms of Chicago's point production. The Bulls are an underdog here but playing extremely well and will help push the pace in this one as we continue to see the high-scoring trending in Chicago's games. 10* OVER 224 in Toronto |

NBA Earliest Cash Thursday 9* Top Play Detroit Pistons +7.5 vs Minnesota Timberwolves @ 7:10 ET - Yes, Detroit has an ugly SU record on the season. However, Minnesota has been a road-adverse team. Looking at the last 11 Timberwolves games, the home team is a perfect 11-0 ATS in those games! Wolves at home, they get the cash. Minny on the road, their opponent gets the cash. This pattern going for 3 weeks now and I look for it to continue here. Pistons off a home loss to New Orleans but were on a 5-1 ATS run heading into that one. Detroit also is on a 6-2 ATS run in home games. Pistons lost Cade Cunningham to injury in that game and he only played 21 points. He could come back for this game and is listed as questionable. Either way, I do like the home dog here catching big points. 9* DETROIT +7.5 |

02-03-22 | Drexel v. Delaware OVER 141 | Top | 76-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
CBB CAA Total of the Year Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 141 in Delaware Fightin Blue Hens vs Drexel Dragons @ 6 ET - This total opened up in the 147 range and is now down to the 141 range as of game day morning. The odds makers that set this total must be clueless in terms of what they are doing, right? Of course not! Long-time followers know I love fading line moves like this when the situation is right. That's because the odds maker are some of the sharpest guys around and I respect their numbers. So take a closer look at this one and note that these teams combined for 158 points in their first meeting this season and no it did NOT go to overtime. The fact is both these teams have solid shooting stats this season. Both teams also tend to struggle on the defensive end. Drexel had one good game defensively against Elon two weeks ago but, in their other 7 games since early January the Dragons have allowed an average of 74.4 ppg. The Fightin Blue Hens have had 7 games since early January and, not including OT points, Delaware has allowed an average of 73.9 ppg. Looking at these numbers you can see why this total opened up closer to 150 than 140. Now, with huge value after the move, I am hammering the over in this Blue Hens match-up! 10* OVER 141 in Delaware |

02-03-22 | St. John's -4.5 v. Georgetown | Top | 90-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
CBB Big East Beast Thursday 9* Top Play St John's Red Storm -4.5 @ Georgetown Hoyas @ 6 ET - The Red Storm off B2B losses but faced a pair of ranked foes and they have not lost 3 straight games this entire season. Also, in their loss to Providence Tuesday, St John's actually had 16 more field goal attempts in the game but the Friars got to the line for 33 free throw attempts - 3 times as many as the 11 the Red Storm got! St John's is a little under-valued here off the unusual results the last two games and note that Georgetown has lost 9 straight games including a 19-point beatdown at St John's. Though the Hoyas are now at home for the rematch, they are simply not a very good basketball team and the Red Storm will be aggressive and bring extra hunger to this match-up as a result of B2B losses. Only one of Georgetown's defeats in the 9-game skid came by a margin of less than 7 points. Once again, look for the Hoyas to lose by 7 or more points as their losing streak reaches 10 games. 9* ST JOHN'S -4.5 |

NHL Situational Slaughter Wednesday 9* Top Play Los Angeles Kings Money Line -130 @ Detroit Red Wings @ 7:35 ET - The Kings have earned at least a point in 5 straight games with a 3-0-2 run and I really like the way Los Angeles has been playing. They skate well and have a quick north-south game that creates trouble for teams built like the Red Wings. I don't particularly care for the Detroit defense and feel this game will be a match-up issue for them. Detroit is off an OT win versus the Ducks Monday but this was preceded by a 20-game stretch in which the Red Wings only won 6 of the 20 games! Also, Detroit played Monday but LA has off since Sunday. The rested road team is worth every bit of this price particularly after the drop from 157 to 130. Lay it! 9* LOS ANGELES KINGS -130 |

NBA Eastern Conf Total of the Month Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 213 in Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards @ 7:10 ET - This total has dropped from the 218 range to the 213 range and this is offering great line value on the over. I understand the Wizards will again be without Bradley Beal and he is a big-time scorer. However, the odds makers knew this when they posted the total. The line coming down is because Washington has scored so poorly recently but the odds makers knew that as well. The keys to this game are that Joel Embiid is back for this one after resting against Memphis and I look for he and the Sixers to have a huge game on the offensive end. Philly lost at Washington last month and will be out for revenge here. Though that game stayed under the total it did reach the 215 mark and note that the under ended a streak of 4 straight overs in match-ups between these teams. The 76ers will take advantage of a team allowing 114.5 points per game last 6 games. This line is right around a 10. If Philly gets at least 115 - and I feel strongly they will do even better than that - it puts this game in the 115-105 range which is 220 points. This game gets well into the 220s the way I see it and I am taking advantage of the drop on this total. 10* OVER 213 in Philadelphia |

NHL Non Conf Total of the Month Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Washington Capitals vs Edmonton Oilers @ 7:05 ET - Have to go quick with this write-up to get the pick up as this total is moving toward 6.5 and I love the over in this match-up. Currently some 6 still available and the set up is ideal. The Capitals off huge win at Pittsburgh last night. A rivalry win after regulation time and could leave Washington a little flat early in this game which leads to plenty of goals for the high-flying Oilers. However, as always seems to be the case for Edmonton, their trouble is in the defensive zone and they allow far too many quality chances and the Caps will rally back in this game. The results is a very high-scoring barnburner in this one. 10* OVER 6 in Washington |

CBB SEC Game of the Month Wednesday 10* Top Play Missouri Tigers +6 vs Florida Gators @ 3 ET - The Tigers have been struggling overall but this is a different team when on their home floor. Though Missouri is likely without Javon Pickett here lets not forget the Gators are still without leading scorer and leading rebounder Colin Castleton. That said, the value is with the home underdog here. Florida is off big win versus Oklahoma State but had lost 5 of 8 games heading into that one. Also, the Gators have lost 3 of last 4 road games. Missouri is just 2-2 SU last 4 home games but the two losses were each by 3 or less points! Now a line that opened at -5 is already up to a -6 and this is just two much for Florida to be laying on the road when you consider all of the above. Look at the defensive stats for these two teams in this spot too. Gators allow 69 points and 47% shooting on the road. Tigers allow 63 points and 39% shooting when at home. Grab the home dog! 10* MISSOURI +6 |

NBA Western Conf Game of the Month Tuesday 10* Top Play San Antonio Spurs +3.5 vs Golden State Warriors @ 8:40 ET - The Warriors are off 5 straight wins but are in the 2nd game of a B2B and Klay Thompson will sit. Conversely, the news is much better on the Spurs front as they were able to rest up yesterday plus get Dejounte Murray back tonight for this one. Also listed as probable are Poeltl and White. San Antonio as a home dog is the play here as they are 4-1 SU the last 5 times off a loss. The Spurs did win at Golden State earlier this season and it was no fluke. San Antonio played a strong game in Oakland and they can do it again here with a refreshed Murray ready to go and he is having a great season. The Warriors barely covered at Houston against a bad Rockets team and, keep in mind, Golden State was on a 1-5 ATS run in road games heading into that one. I don't think we'll need the points here but I will grab them for added insurance. 10* SAN ANTONIO +3.5 |

NHL Earliest Cash Tuesday 9* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +130 vs Winnipeg Jets @ 7 ET - The Flyers finally got over the hump with their OT win over the Kings on Saturday. Los Angeles forced OT in another game where Philly played very well but, this time, Philadelphia finally got what they deserved for their efforts...a win. This is the final game before the all star break for each team. The Jets do come in on off a win but are simply overpriced here. Winnipeg had lost 6 straight games before that win and goalie Connor Hellebuyck has been struggling. It was Eric Comrie between the pipes that got the win Saturday at St Louis. The Flyers getting solid goaltending from Carter Hart and should not be passed up on here in a home dog role. The Jets, prior to beating the Blues, had won just 7 of 21 road games (33%) on the season. That does not equate to a team that should be favored in the -150 price range here against a hungry home dog that has been playing better than the results have recently shown. 9* PHILADELPHIA +130 |

NHL Situational Slaughter Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in New Jersey Devils vs Toronto Maple Leafs @ 7:05 ET - These teams met last night and though the game featured a late flurry to get to 10 goals - Leafs won 6-4 - we only need 7 to be a winner here and I love the back to back situation. The Maple Leafs started Jack Campbell in goal last night but then he struggled so Petr Mrazek got the call. That means Toronto used both goalies last night which makes it tough in a back to back spot. As for the Devils, they are currently without their top two goalies Blackwood and Bernier. So Akira Shmid played last night and Jon Gillies likely to get the call tonight. Neither New Jersey netminder has much NHL experience and Gillies did allow 7 goals in his last two home starts combined. The Maple Leafs last 9 games have featured 7 totaling 7 or more goals! The Devils have allowed an average of 4 goals last 9 games and will again struggle to stop Toronto. However, the Leafs do allow plenty of goals so I look for another barn-burner in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in New Jersey |

CBB Game of the Week Tuesday 10* Top Play Boston College Eagles +9.5 @ Virginia Cavaliers @ 6 ET - The Cavs are a solid team known for stellar defense. However, their long-term struggle season after season tends to be with scoring and that is the situation now moreso than ever this season. That is a big part of the reason the Cavaliers are a rather mediocre 12-9 this season. Now, because they are at home and hosting an Eagles team that has had its share of struggles this season we are seeing this line way too high. Virginia has gone just 7-7 last 14 games and only 3 of the wins were by more than 5 points. You read that right...the Cavs have just 3 wins of more than 5 points in their last 14 games! That said, I love the Eagles plus the big points here and will challenge the Cavaliers to win this game by double digits. Boston College has some extra confidence heading into this win off a big win over Pittsburgh. Keep in mind, that is the same Panthers team that the Cavs beat by an average margin of only 3 points in their two meetings this season. The Eagles have played 20 games this season and only 5 of them resulted in a loss by a double digit margin. I see the Cavaliers winning this game but I look for it to be a tight low-scoring battle as the road team covers! 10* BOSTON COLLEGE +9.5 |

NBA Game of the Week Monday 10* Top Play Philadelphia 76ers -2.5 vs Memphis Grizzlies @ 7:10 ET - The 76ers did not just lose at Memphis last month, they got embarrassed by 35 points. Philly played that at game without Embiid and Curry but both those guys will be playing in the rematch in Philadelphia. On that ugly night in Memphis last month, the undermanned Sixers simply shot very poorly while the Grizzlies were on fire. That will not be the case in the rematch. I like the fact that Philly is off an ATS loss versus Sacramento, we had the Kings as a big dog that night and was a solid winner. Note that the Sixers have not had back to back ATS losses since that tough mid-December stretch that included the ugly loss at Memphis. So it has been about 7 weeks since the Sixers have had B2B ATS losses. Coming off the non-covering win versus the Kings, look for Philly to not only win this game but also cover as it is a much shorter number to cover. Yes Memphis is a very strong team but Philly is tough at home and especially when they are motivated. The 76ers will be ready to go here and their 2-point win versus Sacramento ended a streak that saw each of the Sixers last 17 wins come by a margin of 3 or more points. Look for this win to get the job done and get the hosts right back into the ATS win column. Lay the short number! 10* PHILADELPHIA -2.5 |

NHL Total of the Week Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers @ 7:05 ET - The Blue Jackets would love to get revenge and tighten things up in their own zone after a 9-2 loss at Florida earlier this month. However, though I would love to subscribe to that theory I can not and the numbers prove this out too. Columbus is having an awful season in their own zone. They are allowing 3.6 goals per game and they have struggled against this high-powered Florida team for a long period of time. In the last 7 meetings dating back to March of last year, the Panthers have scored 4 or more goals in 6 of the 7 meetings and the over is 6-1 in last 7 meetings between these teams. Florida scored an average of 5 goals per game in these 7 meetings. So, yes, Columbus wants revenge here but their only hope is to score enough to hang around in this game and I do expect them to do that. But, simply put, the Blue Jackets are not stopping this high-powered offense. 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

NCAAB Patriot League Game of the Year 10* Top Play Monday Colgate Raiders -8.5 @ Lafayette Leopards @ 6 ET - I know this is a bit of an off the radar match-up but it caught my attention for two reasons. Colgate, whom I lost with Friday, was a team I was looking to come back with in their next game. Lafayette is a team from Easton PA whom I am familiar with from my family roots in Rickenbach PA which is just north of Reading PA and not far from Easton. The Leopards had rare success in recent seasons but this season they are back to being the bad Lafayette team they usually are. Lafayette lost league scoring champion Justin Jaworski coming into this season and that has hurt this team a lot. They are 5-13 on the season and the Leopards have lost 5 of 7 games and just can not score at nearly the same level that the Raiders can. Colgate had won 4 straight before their tough loss at Boston University and they will bounce back here. The last time the Raiders faced the Leopards they dominated and won the game by 25 points. I know this is a big line on the road but it is fully justified in a game in which the majority of my models are projecting a double digit road win. Lafayette's last loss was by only 4 points but, prior to this, their last 3 losses all were by 14 or more points. Look for this one to be in that range as well. 10* COLGATE -8.5 |

01-30-22 | 49ers +165 v. Rams | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
NFL ML NFC Game of the Year Sunday 10* Top Play San Francisco 49ers +165 @ Los Angeles Rams @ 6:40 ET - I like the Niners here and feel we will not need any points and the value is with the solid plus money on the money line in this one. San Francisco has played 19 games this season and only 2 of them were losses by 3 or less points. Los Angeles has also played 19 games this season and only 3 of them were wins by 3 or less points. As you can see given those numbers, the odds that the point spread comes into play here are quite slim. That said, I am grabbing the significant plus money. Something tells me this is the game that Stafford's turnover woes resume while Garoppolo continues to excel at QB for San Francisco. The 49ers were 3-5 on the season before they turned their season around after a 31-10 win over the Rams. Then in the rematch against the Rams they were down 17-3 at half but turned it around in the 2nd half for a 27-24 win. That gives even more confidence to the Niners here. As for the Rams, their season was the opposite. LA started the season 7-1 but then went a rather mediocre 5-4 the rest of the way. After beating Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champs last week, look for LA to fall flat this week. They will not be flat, don't get me wrong, but I just feel they are facing a SF team that is peaking at the right time and playing with a ton of confidence and seems unflappable right now. 10* SAN FRANCISCO +165 |

NHL Contrarian Crusher Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Carolina Hurricanes vs San Jose Sharks @ 5:05 ET - The Hurricanes off B2B low-scoring wins and this might have some thinking of an under here. However, in typical contrarian fashion, I am going over the total here. Yes the Canes have gotten some good goaltending last two games but this is a team that scores a ton of goals and is so strong on the forecheck in the offensive zone. Just a relentless team. Carolina is going to take advantage of a San Jose team that might have to use goalie Zach Sawchenko here. He has struggled at the AHL level this season with a 4.07 GAA in his 10 appearances and now faces one of the top teams in the NHL in his first ever start. If he does not play in this one then it would be James Reimer again in the 2nd game of a back to back which is never easy. The reason for the goalie squeeze with San Jose is because Adin Hill is out with an injury. The Sharks have scored an average of 3.4 goals per game last 5 games. The Hurricanes have won 11 of 14 games and, in regulation time of those games, have averaged scoring 4.1 goals per game. This one should get to 8 goals in my best estimation as I look for a 5-3 type game. We should get at least 7 here. Lot of value with this total at 6 even. 10* OVER 6 in Carolina |

CBB Game of the Week Sunday 10* Top Play Boston College Eagles -3.5 vs Pittsburgh Panthers @ 4 ET - The Eagles off back to back ugly losses but both were on the road and they had their chances against the Tar Heels at North Carolina but shot extremely poor in that game. Boston College is now back home and I expect the shots to be falling for them here as they enjoy their return home. The Eagles are catching the Panthers at an ideal time for a big win. Pittsburgh is off a big win versus Syracuse and note that the Panthers have only managed B2B wins twice this season and each time the 2nd game was against a foe much weaker than this BC team. Look for the Eagles to come up with a blowout win here. 10* BOSTON COLLEGE -3.5 |

NBA Daytime Dominator Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 229.5 in Chicago Bulls vs Portland Trail Blazers @ 3:30 ET - Yes the total looks big but don't let the number scare you. It is fully justified in this one as the Trail Blazers on a 6-2 run to the over in road games and the Bulls on a 5-1 run to the over in home games. Portland averaging 113.4 points last 5 games but allowing 117 points last 3 games. The Bulls have averaged 117.6 points in those 5 overs at home but also allowed 121 points per game last 4 home games. This is a non-conference battle that will feature a lack of defense and plenty of run and gun. The last time these teams met here the game totaled 245 points. More of the same here! 10* OVER 229.5 in Chicago |

NHL Earliest Cash Sunday Top Play 9* OVER 5.5 in Pittsburgh Penguins vs Los Angeles Kings @ 1:05 ET - Total dropped from a 6 to a 5.5 and I will not hesitate to grab the value here. The Penguins are off B2B low-scoring games but they snap that here after losing both those games - one in OT and one in SO. The fact is that Pittsburgh will take advantage of a Kings team in a back to back. LA will have to use back-up goalie here or have Quick going in 2nd straight start on B2B days. I don't see that happening. Either way the hungry Penguins will be able to score well here. At the same time though, I don't see the Pens slowing down a Kings team that has impressed me with their north-south game as they get up and down the ice so quickly and create excellent scoring chances. The last time these teams met the game totaled 8 goals earlier this month. In fact, that became part of a stretch in which 8 of 12 Penguins games totaled 7 or more goals. I feel strongly this one will get to at least 7 just like the 4-3 OT loss Los Angeles had at Philly yesterday. At the very least I am looking for 6 here. Solid opportunity! 9* OVER 5.5 in Pittsburgh |

NBA Game of the Month NBA 10* Top Play Sacramento Kings +10.5 @ Philadelphia 76ers @ 7:40 ET - The Kings are off B2B ugly losses but have been off for two days since that B2B situation. Also, there is a chance that BOTH Fox and Metu will be back for this game. Even if only one returns or neither returns, Sacramento has a great shot at a solid cover in this one in my opinion. Prior to the B2B ugly losses, the Kings last 7 losses featured only one by more than ten points! Here we are working with a line of 10.5 and a rested and angry Sacramento team is going to put up a helluva fight in this one. Philly is 4-2 SU last 6 games but only 2 of the wins by more than 10 points and the Sixers just beat a Lakers team without LeBron James. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Kings and 76ers. Philadelphia is 0-3 ATS the last 3 times they were at home and coming off an ATS cover in their prior game. That is the situation here and a hungry and motivated and rested Kings team that should be healthier here too is going to be a handful for Philly to deal with. This one decided by single digits. 10* SACRAMENTO +10.5 |

NCAAB Total of the Month Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 138 in Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights @ 6:30 ET - When these teams met at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights scored 93 points and no the game did NOT go to overtime! Now the rematch is in Nebraska and the Cornhuskers like to play fast and they tend to score better at home. The Huskers even put up 65 in their loss to Wisconsin Thursday. The Badgers are known for solid defense. That said, I look for a breakout game offensively from Nebraska in this one but they again will struggle to stop Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights are off a low-scoring loss to Maryland at home but they did have over 60 field goal attempts in the game but simply struggled to hit shots. Once again, the Knights will not have trouble scoring on this rather lackluster Huskers defense. Nebraska has allowed nearly 80 points per game this season. The line on this game is nearly a pick'em. Even if each team only gets to the 70 mark rather than 80 in this one we still have a winner. I feel we have excellent line value here on the Cornhuskers total in a game that is "off the radar" of most bettors! 10* OVER 138 in Nebraska |

NHL Total of the Month Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Florida Panthers vs San Jose Sharks @ 6:05 ET - The Sharks are likely to start James Reimer here. San Jose is 4-2 in his last 6 starts and there have been a ton of goals scored in his games. Not including OT of course, the average goals scored in games he started is 8.7 goals! 4 of the 6 games totaled at least 8 goals! I am looking for this one too as well because Florida is one of the highest scoring teams in the league plus I like the fact that the Sharks come into this one with their last 7 road games averaging a total of 7 goals per game with an average score of San Jose losing 4-3 in those games. Florida is a huge favorite in this game for a reason and I am forecasting a 5-3 type game here. The Panthers have won 12 of 15 games and have scored an average of 5 goals per game during this red hot stretch. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Florida |

CBB Daytime Dominator Saturday 9* Top Play St John's Red Storm +13.5 @ Villanova Wildcats @ 4:30 ET - The Red Storm can hang tough in this game. Looking at their road games this season, St John's did get blown out once but they also lost by 2 at Indiana, lost by 2 at Pittsburgh, lost by 10 at a ranked Providence team, lost in OT at UConn, and are off a big road win at Seton Hall. As you can see the Red Storm have been solid away from home and are coming off a confidence-boosting win over the Pirates. That said, I feel this is too many points for Villanova to be laying here. The Wildcats are a strong ranked team but off a dominating win over DePaul that is resulting in an inflated line here. Nova has big games against two ranked teams, Marquette and UConn, coming up and the Cats may not be fully prepared her for a scrappy Red Storm team that is absolutely going to give them all they can handle in this one. Look for this game to be decided by a single digit margin. 9* ST JOHN'S +13.5 |

The teams with the worst records in the NBA are the Magic and the Pistons and each allowing 110+ points per game on average. I just do not expect to see a whole lot of defense in this one. Detroit has allowed 118 points per game last 6 games! Orlando has allowed 108 points or more in 6 of last 8 games. In those 6 games the Magic allowed an average of 113 points per game. Orlando has gotten healthier and gotten most of their guys back now and this has helped lead the way to the Magic averaging 110.5 points per game their last 4 games. After struggling with the 3-ball against the Clippers in a loss Wednesday, look for things to open up much more on that end of the floor against Detroit and the open shots will be falling for the Magic at home but they also can not stop the Pistons here! The result? Plenty of points! 10* OVER 212.5 in Orlando |

NHL Earliest Cash Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:05 ET - Off a low-scoring loss, the Penguins are sure to respond huge here. Trouble is they used Jarry between the pipes last night which it means it could be DeSmith here. The Red Wings have allowed average of 5.3 goals in regulation time of last 3 games! DeSmith has been horrible lately for the Penguins between the pipes. With Pittsburgh angry off yesterday's result and Detroit providing the perfect punching bag, the Pens will score plenty here but I don't trust DeSmith between the pipes and he is the likely starter here. No matter who is between the pipes, note that the Red Wings have averaged 3.2 goals scored last 5 games but again they continue to allow far too many as well. 10* OVER 6 in Pittsburgh |

01-28-22 | Pennsylvania +4 v. Harvard | Top | 78-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
CBB Ivy League Game of the Month Friday 10* Top Play Pennsylvania Quakers +4 @ Harvard Crimson @ 5 ET - Dingle is off a huge game for the Quakers even though he shot very poorly from 3-point land. Getting him rolling again - 31 points in that game - is a huge plus for Penn and watch him now knock down his threes at a much higher rate in this one. The Quakers are playing better currently than what their full-season record indicates and that is why they are such a small dog here even though Harvard has the much better full-season record. Note that the Crimson have been without forward Chris Ledlum - top rebounder and 2nd leading scorer - each of last 3 games. Also, Harvard has been without another key rotation player, guard Idan Tretout, each of the last 3 games. The Quakers get it done on the road here and we probably will not even need the points but I will grab them for added insurance in this one. 10* PENNSYLVANIA +4 |

CBB Daytime Dominator Friday 9* Top Play Colgate Raiders -1 @ Boston University Terriers @ 2 ET - Both teams entering this game on hot streaks but Boston University enters the game with the much better record on the season plus this game is on their home floor. Do not let the line fool you here. The game is priced this way for a reason and Colgate dominated the Terriers in their meetings last season plus enters this game on a 4-game winning streak with all 4 wins by MORE than a DOZEN points each! The Raiders get the best of this one even though the game is at Case Gym in Boston. 9* COLGATE -1 |

01-27-22 | Lakers +2.5 v. 76ers | Top | 87-105 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
NBA Earliest Cash Thursday 10* Top Play Los Angeles Lakers +3 @ Philadelphia 76ers @ 7:30 ET - Right away this morning this line jumped out at me. This line opened nearly at a pick'em even though Philly is at home and has won 12 of 15 games and they are hosting a Lakers team that had lost 11 of last 18 games before the win at Brooklyn. Also, LA is only 9-12 in road games this season. Sure, Anthony Davis is back now for the Lakers but essentially a "pick" on the road against a 76ers team that has been hot and has the better record this season. Looks funny, right? Sure enough the betting masses have hammered the Sixers here and the line has gone as high as a +3. As long time followers know, I love being a contrarian and I am all over the small road dog here. This game was priced this way for a reason and I feel the Lakers have a chip on their shoulder and are out to prove some things now that they are getting healthy. Keep in mind, Sixers still dealing with some injury issues too. 10* LOS ANGELES LAKERS +3 |

01-27-22 | Hurricanes v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
NHL Contrarian Crusher Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 goals +104 in Ottawa Senators vs Carolina Hurricanes @ 7:05 ET - The Senators are one of the weaker teams in the NHL so normally one does not think about overs with Ottawa as much due to the club being somewhat lacking in firepower on offense. However, in typical contrarian fashion, I am on the over here but it is not without plenty of good reason. The fact is the Senators do tend to get involved in some high-scoring games when they are on home ice. Also, this is a revenge game for the Hurricanes as they suffered a huge upset at the hands of the Sens earlier this season. Carolina has shown a propensity to not slow up in terms of piling up games in blowouts. Though Canes goalie Frederik Andersen has played well overall, he has allowed 3 or more goals in 5 of his last 7 starts. Keep that in mind and note Carolina is a huge favorite here for a reason. In other words, a 5-3 final sounds about right! The Hurricanes have averaged scoring 4.5 goals per game last dozen games! The Senators are off a 5-0 home shutout of the Sabres but, prior to that, allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 11 home games. Ottawa has scored an average of 3.6 goals per game in regulation time of last five contests as a host. The Hurricanes outshot the Senators 49-20 in the 3-2 loss at Carolina in early December. The Canes deserved better and want payback here and will not take their foot off the gas in this one! 10* OVER 6.5 in Ottawa |

01-27-22 | Wisconsin v. Nebraska +7.5 | Top | 73-65 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 30 m | Show |
CBB Early Dominator Thursday 10* Top Play Nebraska Cornhuskers +7.5 vs Wisconsin Badgers @ 5 ET - Yes, the Badgers are off a loss here but the last time they were off a defeat they barely squeaked by Nicholls, a Southland Conference team! Also, Wisconsin has a big game on deck this weekend hosting rival Minnesota. Yes, the Badgers have a strong record this season but lets talk about what they have done since opening the season with a pair of blowout wins. Wisconsin has since gone 13-3 but the average margin of the 13 wins is only 6 points! Simply put, the Badgers are not known for blowing teams out. Only 2 of their last 12 victories have been by a double digit margin! The Cornhuskers have an ugly 6-13 SU record on the season but this is a scrappy underdog when on their home floor. Nebraska lost versus Ohio State in OT, was down by just 5 to Illinois with under 2 minutes to go in game, and lost by just 7 to Indiana. All those games were at home and all of those games so the Huskers fall just short. I would not be surprised, given the situation here, to see the Cornhuskers get the shocker upset but, at the very least, a home dog cover is likely here. 10* NEBRASKA |

01-26-22 | Nuggets v. Nets OVER 221.5 | Top | 124-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
NBA Total of the Week Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 221.5 in Brooklyn Nets vs Denver Nuggets @ 8:10 ET - If you had the under last night in the Nuggets game I want to express my sincerest condolences. Trust me, I have had plenty of bad beats like that throughout my two decades in the business. Denver's game was on pace for 243 points entering the 4th quarter. Then, in the 4th quarter, a ridiculous total of 35 points were scored and the game stayed under the total. This is helping to give us line value here. Ironically, Brooklyn had a similar result last night versus the Lakers. Entering 4th quarter the game was on pace for 227 points but then the teams combined for only a ridiculous 32 points in the 4th quarter. All of this is combining to give us great line value here. What is also helping in terms of value is this total has dropped from the upper 220s to down near 220 and I will not pass up on this phenomenal line value. I feel quite certain of the kinda style we will see in this non-conference battle tonight with some tired legs in a back to back deciding to skip out on playing much defense from time to time. The over is 2-0 in last 2 meetings and we see another one here. 10* OVER 221.5 in Brooklyn |

01-26-22 | Blackhawks v. Red Wings -115 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
NHL TNT Annihilation Wednesday 9* Top Play Detroit Red Wings -115 vs Chicago Blackhawks @ 7:35 ET - The trade chatter involving Marc-Andre Fleury might start to get to him and there seems to be some gossip going on around the league about where he might end up with Washington a possibility. Either way this could start to effect his game soon enough and he plays for Blackhawks club that has won just 7 of 23 road games this season. The Red Wings lost their most recent home game in OT but to a tough Dallas team. Detroit is still a solid 13-6-3 on home ice. I like the value with the home team at a short price and feel the Red Wings are going to bounce back here as, prior to a road loss in most recent games, they had earned points in the standings in 6 of last 8 games. 9* DETROIT |

NBA Situational Slaughter Wednesday 9* Top Play Orlando Magic Pick vs Los Angeles Clippers @ 7:10 ET - The Clippers are off a hard-fought win last night at Washington where they rallied for the win after being down by 30 points at the half! Look for this to have taken a lot out of LA and now they face a rested Orlando team. While the Clips are 2nd night of a back to back and playing 5th road game in 8 days, the Magic playing just 2nd game in 5 days and have been off the past two days. Also, Mo Bamba has been back in starting lineup and is expected to be there again for Orlando tonight. The Magic going to be too much for a tired Los Angeles team in this one. 9* ORLANDO Pick |

01-26-22 | Flames v. Blue Jackets OVER 6 | Top | 6-0 | Push | 0 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
NHL Contrarian Crusher Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Calgary Flames @ 7:05 ET - Merzlikins likely to start for Blue Jackets and Markstrom likely to start for Flames. That might have you thinking under here based on the long-term with those two guys. But note that the over is 10-5 in Merzlikins starts in non-conference action this season. Also, Markstrom has allowed 4 or more goals in 5 of last 7 starts. He is off a start in which he allowed just 1 goal and that is noteworthy as he has not had strong back to back starts since early December! Columbus off low-scoring loss but 13 of 16 games heading into that one had totaled 6 or more goals. Also, the Flames have seen 8 of last 10 games total 6 or more goals and the only two that did not were each 5-goal games. Look for Calgary to build off 7-1 win. 10* OVER 6 in Columbus |

CBB PA Dominator Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 147 in LaSalle Explorers vs Massachusetts Minutemen @ 7 ET - This total opened up around 151 and already has dropped to as low as 147. Yes, LaSalle is off back to back low-scoring losses but that had to do with the match-ups they faced. Now the Explorers face a UMass team that is one of the worst teams around when it comes to defense. The one thing the Minutemen can do is shoot the ball well including from beyond the arc. They love to get quick threes off and have no hesitation in being willing to play a fast-paced game. Massachusetts has allowed 82 points per game last 6 games! The Explorers need a strong performance at home after being bottled up by Richmond and Rhode Island. UMass will provide the perfect opportunity for the hosts to get going again. The over is 4-0 in the meetings between these teams the past two seasons. More of the same here! 10* OVER 147 in LaSalle |

01-26-22 | Florida v. Tennessee OVER 133.5 | Top | 71-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
CBB Earliest Cash Wednesday 9* Top Play OVER 133.5 in Tennessee Volunteers vs Florida Gators @ 6 ET - I am aware that Colin Castleton is still out for the Gators and he is Florida's leading scorer. However, he also led the team in rebounds and blocked shots. Guess what happens on the defensive end when you are without a guy like that? It is trouble for sure and now the Gators take on a ranked Tennessee team that will look to run them right out of the arena. However, Florida is still going to put up a fight here. Don't be surprised if they hang around in this game after getting knocked out of the SEC tourney by the Volunteers last March. This is their first meeting since and the guard-heavy Gators will do their best to hang around in this game in what will turn into a higher-scoring game than most expect. Florida does not have the interior defense to stop the Vols but, at the other end, the Gators will try to use quick guard play to keep the Tennessee defense on its heels. The result is a high-scoring game. 9* OVER 133.5 in Tennessee |

01-25-22 | Panthers v. Jets OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
NHL Total of the Week Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Winnipeg Jets vs Florida Panthers @ 8:05 ET - The Jets have a great goalie by the name of Connor Hellebuyck. However, this Panthers team is an offensive juggernaut and they are entering this game off a loss and I expect them to pepper Winnipeg with shots here. At the same time, the Jets are playing their first home game in a very long time due to all the covid issues and I expect Winnipeg, also off a tough loss, to come out firing on all cylinders here in a game that should have an excellent pace. The Panthers have averaged scoring 4.3 goals last 3 games when off a loss. Florida overall has seen 10 of last 13 games total 7 or more goals. The Jets don't have those same impressive numbers in terms of high-scoring games but, again, I expect this to be a very special situation in Manitoba with it being their first home game in over 5 weeks! The last 6 Jets home games have averaged 8.3 goals and I look for another high-scoring game Tuesday. 10* OVER 6.5 in Winnipeg |

NBA Philly Special Tuesday 9* Top Play Philadelphia 76ers -8 vs New Orleans Pelicans @ 7:05 ET - The Sixers are off a 6-point win at San Antonio but each of their last 7 wins heading into that game had been by a double digit margin. In fact, those 7 Philly wins came by an average margin of 15 ppg. Now catching New Orleans off a hard-fought win last night and in the 2nd night of a back to back and with Brandon Ingram hurting (if he even does play) this looks like another rout. 9* PHILADELPHIA -8 |

01-25-22 | Clippers v. Wizards UNDER 220 | Top | 116-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
NBA Total Annihilation Monday 10* Top Play UNDER 220 in Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Clippers @ 7:10 ET - We should see some good defensive intensity here. Both teams are off a loss and the Wizards loss was one in which they got blasted by 29 points. That is the type of defeat off a which a team usually responds with a much better effort. Washington had allowed an average of only 109 point last 7 games before that. The Wizards have scored an average of only 96 points last two games. The Clippers have scored only 102 points in each of their last two games. Los Angeles did have a high-scoring OT loss at Denver in the game that preceded those two but note that their 3 preceding road games before the Nuggets loss saw the Clippers average only 92 points per game! Considering the above as well as the line move from 215 to 220 we have excellent line value with the under in this one in my opinion. 10* UNDER 220 in Washington |

01-25-22 | Golden Knights v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
NHL Situational Slaughter Tuesday 9* Top Play OVER 6 goals in Carolina Hurricanes vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 7:05 ET - The Golden Knights in 2nd game of a B2B and off a 1-0 win. Vegas gave up a pile of shots last night but Robin Lehner was superb between the pipes but is unlikely we see him now in 2nd game of a back to back. That means the angry Hurricanes, off a 7-4 loss and rested, are likely to have a huge game here. 9 of Carolina's last 11 games have totaled 6 or more goals. These 11 games have averaged 7.6 goals per game! Look for a wild game here as Vegas will has plenty of offensive firepower and will have to rely on that here because the Canes will come out firing on all cylinders. 9* OVER 6 in Carolina |

CBB PA Dominator Tuesday 9* Top Play Temple Owls +4.5 vs Cincinnati Bearcats @ 7 ET - I know the Owls have been off for nearly two weeks and they may be a bit sluggish/off in the first half of this game. But eventually Temple will put it together in this match-up and I love the Owls now getting 4.5 points after this line opened up closer to just a bucket on this one. The last 3 meetings between these teams have all been decided by 3 or less points. Temple is a tough team at home and Cincinnati has been a mediocre team on the road this season. Also, the Bearcats have some injury issues at forward with Newman and Lahkin. Even if those two guys play they are unlikely to be 100% and I look for the Owls to take advantage. Two of last three Cats road games were losses and the only win was by just 4 points. Temple is 4-1 SU and ATS last 5 games and I look for the Owls to get the home dog cover in this one. 9* TEMPLE +4.5 |

01-25-22 | DePaul v. Villanova OVER 133 | Top | 43-67 | Loss | -112 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
CBB Big East Total of the Month Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 133 in Villanova Wildcats vs DePaul Blue Demons @ 7 ET - The total has been dropping on this one. I like the over as the Wildcats so strong at home and we are getting value here because the Blue Demons are off a low-scoring loss but this is a DePaul team that does get involved in high-scoring games quite often. The Blue Demons were on a 5-0 run to the over before back to back unders so now we get line value in this spot. Villanova averaging 79 points at home this season. DePaul is averaging 76 points this season. The Wildcats do play solid defense when needed but look for this to be a blowout win, as you can tell by the pointspread, and there will be less attention on the defensive end as a result. Each of the last 3 meetings between the teams, including one earlier this season, went over the total. Going further back, it is an incredible 17-6 run to the over in games involving these foes. 10* OVER 133 in Villanova |

NBA Contrarian Crusher Monday 10* Top Play OVER 215.5 in Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls @ 8:10 ET - The Thunder have scored 94 ppg L3 games and the Bulls have scored 92.5 ppg L2 games. This total is a 215.5 and you would think the odds makers do not know what they are doing? Trust me...they do! In typical contrarian fashion what looks like a dead under has me going STRONG on the over in this one! This non-conference match-up will feature a lack of defense and a good pace and plenty of scoring. 10* OVER 215.5 in Oklahoma City |

01-24-22 | Canadiens v. Wild OVER 6 | Top | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens @ 8:05 ET - The Wild have a lengthy road trip on deck so they will want to make the most of this opportunity on home ice. That said, look for Minny to turn to their offensive production! Minnesota has won 3 of 4 games and scored an average of 4.5 goals per game in regulation time of these games. The Wild have allowed at least 3 goals in 3 of their last 4 games. The Canadiens are having a very rough season but they have scored an average of 3.3 goals per game last 3 games. The issue for Montreal is they have allowed 3.7 goals in regulation time of their last dozen games here. Non-conference match-up. Teams have not faced in other in a long time so there is not much animosity. In other words not likely to be a defensive minded battle with a lot of physicality. Should be a lot of open ice and the Habs have major issues at the goalie position with injuries/illness. 10* OVER 6 in Minnesota |

NBA Earliest Cash Monday 9* Top Play OVER 202 in Cleveland Cavaliers vs New York Knicks @ 7:10 ET - This total has plummeted from 207.5 to a 202 and this has gone too far in my opinion. Cavs off low-scoring win versus OKC but have gone 3-1 to the over before that with those 4 games averaging 218.5 ppg. NY has scored 108 points or more in 5 of 7 games. The Knicks have allowed 102 points or more in 4 of last 5 games. 9* OVER 202 in Cleveland |

NHL Monday 9* Top Play Vegas Golden Knights +130 @ Washington Capitals @ 7:05 ET - Vegas expected to get some reinforcements on this road trip. Also, they catch the Caps off an OT win. Why does this matter? Well, since a pair of wins in early December, Washington has won B2B games only once! The Capitals have proven time and time again they struggle off a win while the Golden Knights come into this game on a run of 12 wins in 19 games. Couple that with the underdog value here and you have a great spot to back the road team at a plus money price. 9* VEGAS +130 |

CBB Early Slaughter Monday 10* Top Play Boston College Eagles +11 @ Wake Forest Demon Deacons @ 6 ET - Wake Forest just demolished North Carolina 98-76 Saturday. Must of been pure and complete dominance, right? Hardly, you would be hard pressed to find another box score like this one! The Tar Heels had 81 shots from the field and the Demon Deacons had just 59 field goal attempts yet won by 20+ points! Highly unlikely and it was just one of those nights where UNC "couldn't throw it in the ocean" as they were just off with their shooting all night! Though WF has been hot this is the perfect letdown spot. I am not saying Boston College will get the upset but I am saying they should stay within single digits for sure and we are getting extra line value here after the Wake Forest result on Saturday. Note that the Eagles have won 2 of last 3 games and though this was preceded by a stretch of losses, note that Boston College has had only 2 losses by more than 11 points this entire season. Very comfortable with the big points here given the situation and the Eagles playing with a little more confidence after winning 2 of 3 games. 10* BOSTON COLLEGE +11 |

CBB Earliest Annihilation Monday 9* Top Play OVER 128.5 in Kennesaw State Owls vs Jacksonville Dolphins @ 5 ET - The Owls are off a loss and this season they have gone 4-0 and averaged 89.5 points per game! Yes some of those games were against weak competition but you can still see that Kennesaw has shown the way they respond to a loss is to push hard on the offensive end. I know Jacksonville, on the other hand, has a tendency to get involved in "grinders" as their games trend toward lower-scoring. However, the Owls are going to dictate the pace of this game on their home floor and the Dolphins will simply be forced to play up to that tempo. Both teams have high shooting percentages this season and couple that with a good pace this game should easily get into the 130s in my opinion. 9* OVER 128.5 in Kennesaw State |

NHL Contrarian Crusher Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 5.5 in New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings @ 7:05 ET - The Devils off a 7-4 upset win over Carolina yesterday. The underdog win coupled with a B2B situation sets this one up perfectly for plenty of goals. New Jersey has allowed 4 or more goals in 9 of last 14 games. This one is a contrarian play because the Kings are not known for higher scoring games but the Devils have averaged scoring 3.5 goals per game in regulation time of last 9 games. Los Angeles has allowed 5.3 goals per game last 3 games. Also, before being held to just 1 goal in most recent game, the Kings had averaged scoring 3.8 goals last 8 games. Given all those big numbers and the fact this total is a 5.5 you can see why we have excellent value here for a top play. 10* OVER 5.5 in New Jersey |

NFL Money Line Game of the Year Sunday 10* Top Play Buffalo Bills +110 @ Kansas City Chiefs @ 6:30 ET - The Bills seek revenge for last year's playoff ouster at the hands of KC. Look for last year's playoff experience to help Buffalo a lot in this rematch. The Chiefs were just not quite as strong this season and that is why you are seeing them priced as such a small favorite even though they are at home for this game. With a win here the Bills will host next week's AFC Championship Game because the Titans got knocked out yesterday. This is huge for Buffalo and I feel strongly this is the Bills year to finally get back to the Super Bowl. Buffalo has had only 3 high-scoring losses this season and in the other 15 games, win or lose, the points allowed by the Bills are truly impressive. Buffalo allowed only 13.2 points per game in those 15 games! The Bills have allowed an average of only 15.4 points per game last 5 games overall. Compare all this to a KC team that has allowed 27 points or more in 8 games this season and enters this game having allowed an average of 26.3 points per game last 3 games. The Bills have the added confidence too of having won here in Kansas City earlier this season. The Chiefs go from facing a Pittsburgh team with Roethlisberger on his last legs to facing a Bills team with Allen capable of picking apart opposing defenses. The road team trend in the divisional round continues and no points needed here. 10* BUFFALO +110 |

NFL Daytime Dominator Sunday 9* Top Play Los Angeles Rams +3 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ 3 ET - Do you think the Rams are only 4 points better than the Eagles team that the Bucs just flat out embarrassed last week? Me neither! But that is what this line is telling you as the Rams are +3 this week after the closing line on last week's game was Eagles +7. That is only a 4 point variance and I am not buying it. The odds makers do not intentionally set "trap lines" but this is one that will likely "trap" public bettors as Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl Champions are only a 3 point favorite on their home turf. The Rams look like a team on a mission after their dismantling of the Cardinals last week and I love their defense. Also, this is not a pedestrian offense for LA like the poor Philly offense with a rookie QB that TB faced last week. Upset alert! 9* LOS ANGELES RAMS +3 |

NBA Earliest Dominator Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 205 in New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers @ 1:10 ET - I know this is a contrarian play because these are two of the lower scoring teams in the league. However, just look at how low this total has gotten. It is in the 205 range as of about 3 hours before tip-off and I feel that will prove to be too low. The Clippers are off a tight 102-101 win over the Sixers in Philly Friday. That was the 5th straight time that Los Angeles has allowed more than 100 points and they have allowed, not including OT, an average of 113 during this stretch. The Clippers, not including OT, have scored an average of 118 points last 3 games. So the point is that they can, and have been recently, putting up some bigger points. As for the Knicks, they have scored better in a number of recent games as New York had scored 108 or more points in 4 of last 5 games before poor effort in loss to New Orleans Thursday. With extra rest too, and off an ugly loss, I expect the Knicks to bounce back big here on their home floor. New York has allowed 105 points per game in their last 4 games. That is their season average for points allowed too and they are a 4 point favorite here so that would make the final 109-105 if odds makers are correct on the spread and that puts this total in the 214 range. You can see why I feel we have some value here. 10* OVER 205 in New York |

CBB Earliest Cash Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 126.5 in Providence vs Butler @ NOON ET - There is an old saying that if something is not broken do not try to fix it. Of course that makes a lot of sense and the point is that Providence has exploded for 83 points in each of their last two games. Both of those contests were at home just like this one is and the Friars are proving they can win faster-paced games too. I am well aware that in terms of pacing, both Providence and the Bulldogs are known for playing slower. However, even with that, Providence has scored at least 70 in each of their last 4 wins and those games saw the Friars average 76.5 points per game. The Bulldogs, though known for playing slower, have lost 3 straight games and allowed at least 75 points in each loss. In fact, the Bulldogs are 6-6 last dozen games and allowed more than 70 points in all 6 losses. Providence is about a 9 point favorite here. If they score at least 71 and the line is about right that puts this at 71-62 which is 133 points and we have a total in the 127 range. Good value here as the way the Friars have been going I expect this game to close to the 140 mark. Look for a 75-65 type game. 10* OVER 126.5 in Providence |

EPL Goal Line Dominator Sunday 10* Top Play Tottenham +0.5 +110 @ Chelsea @ 11:30 AM ET - These clubs have met twice very recently and Tottenham deserved a much better fate in the second fixture compared to the first. That said, and with Chelsea missing some key players including their #1 goalkeeper for this one, I feel we have excellent value with Tottenham plus a half goal and plus money too. The visitors have only lost 5 matches all season and, keep in mind, a win or a draw here gets us the money. Yes, Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the league but they have not been as dominant of a late and are a bit short-handed here and they have won only 12 of 23 matches in league action. In other words, about a 50-50 chance they don't win this match but those chances go even lower when you consider they are facing a Tottenham squad that is only 8 points behind them in the table but has played 4 less fixtures! The point is the, the losses and draws for Chelsea are going to come in matches like this again quality competition and I look for a very strong effort from the visitors here to get us the win at the betting counter! 10* TOTTENHAM +0.5 +110 |

01-22-22 | 49ers +6 v. Packers | Top | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show |
NFC Game of the Year NFL 10* Top Play San Francisco 49ers +5.5 @ Green Bay Packers @ 8:15 ET - The 49ers beat a good Cowboys team last week. That was not just about Dallas being bad it was that the Niners are built well for playoff football and they proved that last week. Defensively this team is solid and, oh by the way, San Francisco plays in a division with Arizona and the Rams. LA may have made the Cards look bad last week but the fact is both the Cardinals and Rams are very good teams and finished the regular season with a combined record of 23-11. As for the Packers, they play in a division with the likes of the Vikings, Bears, and Lions. Not only did none of those teams have a winning record, the 3 combined for a 17-33-1 record. Now don't get me wrong, Green Bay is an excellent team. I am just pointing out that they might be a bit over-valued. Also, Green Bay won at San Francisco earlier this season but the Niners lost the turnover battle 2-0. The 49ers actually had 26 first downs compared to only 21 for the Packers. Also, the line in that game was SF -3 and that means the markets considered the teams equal then. Now this game is at Green Bay and the line was as high as a -6 on the Packers. Suddenly GB is now deserving of an extra 3 points compared to the original match-up? The point is that if this line was priced the same was as the original match-up it would be GB -3. This is value. Packers played 17 games this season and only 8 were wins by more than 3 points which means 9 were not! You get my point. The Niners have now played 18 games and only 5 were losses by more than 3 points which means, of course, the other 13 games were not! I just look for a very tightly contested game quite possibly decided by 3 points and whether SF wins or GB wins I don't care as long as the margin is slim like that. The fact is though I sense an upset here. The Niners allowed 17 points per game last 6 games. GB, not including meaningless season finale in which they did not care, did enter that contest having allowed 26 points per game last 6 games. The better D and a very confident group will be able to get the upset here but I am grabbing the points for added insurance. 10* SAN FRANCISCO +5.5 |

NBA Earliest Dominator Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 230.5 in Milwaukee Bucks vs Sacramento Kings @ 7:10 ET - Love grabbing the over on a huge number like this in Milwaukee after last night's Bucks game with the Bulls totaled just 184 points! Milwaukee AND Chicago each had their worst 3-point shooting performances of the SEASON in last night's game. Now, after that hard-fought defensive battle in a divisional battle between two of the top teams, the Bucks are hosting a non-conference foe tonight. I like to look at overs in non-conference games when the situation is right and that is certainly the case here. Milwaukee has beaten Sacramento 10 straight times but you know the Kings are going to push the tempo here and try to catch the Bucks a little tired in the 2nd game of a B2B. The over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these teams! Sacramento on a 3-1 run to the over and these 4 games have seen the Kings average 123.5 ppg but allow 120.3 ppg. The Bucks last two games, before the grinder versus the Bulls, averaged 237.5 total points. Look for this one to get into that range as well. 10* OVER 230.5 in Milwaukee |

01-22-22 | Hurricanes v. Devils OVER 6 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
NHL Total of the Week Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes @ 7:05 ET - Mackenzie Blackwood is the Devils #1 netminder right now but he has allowed 3 or more goals in 9 of his last 10 starts including allowing 4 to the low-scoring Coyotes in his most recent start. As for the Hurricanes, their #1 netminder is Frederik Andersen and he was in goal last night so that means it is likely to be a back-up between the pipes here and no one, other than Andersen, has enjoyed success in the crease for the Canes this season. Carolina might give up more goals than normal here as a result but this highly efficient Hurricanes offense should lead them to victory. That is why they are such a pricey favorite even on the road in this one and in a back to back. That said, I feel the best value is with the over in this match-up! The Devils have allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 13 games. New Jersey had scored an average of 3.5 goals per game last 7 games before being shutdown by Arizona. As for Carolina, they are on a red hot 8-2 run in which, other than a shutout loss, they have scored an average of 5.2 goals per game! 10* OVER 6 in New Jersey |

NFL Daytime Dominator 9* Top Play Tennessee Titans -3.5 vs Cincinnati Bengals @ 4:30 ET - Huge rest edge here for Tennessee off the bye week while Cincinnati was in action for wild card weekend. Give the Bengals credit as they got it done last week and are elated to have finally won a playoff game after a 3-decade stretch without notching a post-season win. That said, Cincinnati has already achieved something and there was a lot of celebrating last week. However, now they are facing a much different animal. The Titans are not the Raiders...not even close. Playing a playoff game on the road instead of at home...not even close. The point is that Joe Burrow and the Bengals are in for a rude awakening going on the road and facing one of the top teams in the league and one with a good amount of playoff experience on its roster. Look for this to turn into a blowout as Cincinnati perfectly fits the mode of a "one and done" in terms of how they are built for a post-season run. They just don't have the ground game on offense that the hosts have and now those hosts getting back Derrick Henry at RB this week too. 9* TENNESSEE |

CBB Total of the Week Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 134 in Virginia Commonwealth Rams vs St Joseph's Hawks @ 2:30 ET - VCU is off B2B losses but now face a team they can dominate. The last two times they faced teams as a favorite in this price range was in their two games prior to the two game losing streak. The Rams averaged 84.5 ppg in two blowout victories. As for St Joseph's, yes they could get blown out here and they are a double digit dog for a reason. But the Hawks are off a 9 point win over George Washington and a win like that can go a long way toward building up some confidence again. Each of the Hawks last 3 road games have totaled at least 139 points. St Joseph's has allowed 75 points or more in 3 of last 4 road games. They have given up an average of 76.5 in last two games versus Rams. With VCU off B2B losses I just seem them completely taking advantage of a game they can run away with here and I expect a good pace and a ton of points as a result. 10* OVER 134 in Virginia Commonwealth |

01-22-22 | Manchester City v. Southampton OVER 3.5 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
EPL Afternoon Annihilation 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 +120 in Southampton vs Manchester City @ 12:30 ET - The last time these teams met the result was a scoreless stalemate. Yes indeed, a 0-0 draw! Yet the total on this rematch is 3.5 which looks fishy, does it not? Exactly! Here is how I see this playing out. Manchester City is the proven best club in the premier league this season. City is on a 12-match winning streak in the league and averaging about 3 goals per match during this hot run. After getting embarrassed by being held scoreless on their home pitch earlier in this campaign, City is not going to take their foot off the gas here. They are going to be very aggressive and score many goals in my opinion. At the same time, Southampton is not going to be held off the scoresheet on their home pitch in my opinion. I am looking for a 3-1 match here but would really not be surprised at all to see much more scoring than that. Southampton may try to play a defensive style at first and go with a 3-5-2 formation but once they get down a couple goals they will have to adjust their style and I would not be surprised to see a lot of goals here as a result. 10* OVER 3.5 +120 in Southampton |

01-21-22 | Clippers v. 76ers OVER 212.5 | Top | 102-101 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
NBA Philly Special Friday 10* Top Play OVER 212.5 in Philadelphia 76ers vs Los Angeles Clippers @ 7:10 ET - The Clippers have had back to back high-scoring games and even though the last one went into OT, the teams did combine for 228 in regulation. Prior to that game, Los Angeles had a game versus Indiana total 272 points. I like overs in non-conference match-ups when the situation is right and the 76ers have been scoring well too as they have scored 109 points or more in 10 of last 12 games. In fact, in those 10 games, Philly has averaged 116.3 points per game. Those were all wins and they are supposed to win this game too as you can tell by the line sitting in the -8.5 range. So if we estimate an "average" win for the Sixers and this game landing close to the number you are talking about a 116 to 108 type game which is double digits above the posted number on this total! I'll take it as I do not expect a lot of defensive intensity in a non-conference match-up like this. 10* OVER 212.5 in Philadelphia |

NHL Earliest Cash Friday 10* Top Play OVER 5.5 in Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers @ 7:05 ET - Both teams off big upset wins and I like that situation to set this one up for a bit of a wide open game. The Hurricanes are hot and have won 7 of 9 games. One of the two losses was a shutout loss but Carolina scored 3 goals in the other loss and at least 4 goals in all 7 wins! In fact, the Canes, other than the shutout loss, have averaged scoring 5 goals per game since mid-December! As for the Rangers, they are known for lower-scoring games generally speaking but Shesterkin was not overly sharp in New York's 6-3 win over Toronto Wednesday. The offense bailed him out after they got into a 3-1 hole versus the Maple Leafs. Speaking of that offense, the Rangers are now 7-2 last 9 games and have scored an average of 4 goals per game in the 7 wins. Given all of the above I feel we have excellent line value with this total at a 5.5 as of late morning Friday. I'll take it! 10* OVER 5.5 in Carolina |

CBB Earliest Dominator Friday 10* Top Play Toledo Rockets +4.5 @ Ohio University Bobcats @ 6 ET - This is a great match-up featuring two teams off to great starts this season. I feel the value lies with the revenge-seeking underdog on the road. Though Toledo had won the past two regular season meetings, they fell short in March in the MAC Tourney Semi-Finals. As a result, the Rockets ended up going to the NIT while the Bobcats got the one more win they needed in the MAC Championship and ended up going to the Big Dance. Ohio University certainly still has a fantastic program as evidenced by their strong start this season but Toledo is highly motivated here and has a fantastic team. The Rockets have only 4 losses this season and the two most recent ones were by a margin of only 3 points. Toledo is on a 5-game winning streak and keeps it going here! If you look at the stats so far this season, the Rockets are the better shooting team and also have the better statistics on the defensive side of the ball too. I am grabbing the points here in a game where an upset would certainly not be a surprise! Take the points for added insurance. 10* TOLEDO +4.5 |

EPL Total of the Week Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Watford vs Norwich City @ 3 ET - Norwich City has allowed 2.5 goals per match as travelers this season. Watford has allowed 2.2 goals per match on their home pitch in this campaign. So each club should manage at least 2 goals here, right? Not necessarily but I do feel the leaky defense of each club certainly helps our cause here and with each club going hard for the full 3 points in the table here we should see at least a 2-1 final here. Neither wants to settle for a draw here as they are both near the relegation zone. Also, note that Watford is off a 1-1 draw but, prior this, 3 of last 4 matches across all competitions totaled at least 3 goals. In fact, two of those totaled 5 goals. As for Norwich City, 3 of their last 4 matches in Premier League action have totaled 3 or more goals. Both clubs also playing with a little extra confidence here as Watford picked up a point by virtue of a draw in most recent match and now are on their home soil for this one and Norwich picked up a victory and the full 3 points in their most recent match. Even with some absentees for each club in this one (injury/covid/Africa Cup of Nations) we should a rather spirited affair in this one and it totals 3 or more goals! 10* OVER 2.5 in Watford |

NHL Total Blowout Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 7 +115 in Edmonton Oilers vs Florida Panthers @ 9:05 ET - I know we have the option to take the over 6.5 too but that has big juice on it in the -135 to -150 range so I would rather take the over 7 in the +110 to +115 range for a nice payback price. I know that will turn a 7 from a win to a push but I really think we are going to see an absolutely crazy game here with 8 or more goals. The Panthers have been on a torrid run of 9 straight games totaling 7 or more goals but that was finally snapped in their surprising 5-1 loss at Calgary. I watched that game and there easily could have been more goals there. The key here is the Panthers are now off a loss and will be flying all over the ice even more than usual tonight as a result of that defeat. That is bad news for an Oilers team that has played only 1 game in the past two weeks! The key for Edmonton however is that they are playing with an "us against the world" mentality now after being "left for dead" because of a rare tough stretch. The Oilers are loaded with talent, especially in terms of skilled players in the offensive zone, and I look for them to come out playing with a chip on their shoulder here. That means an intense game with a lot of offensive zone pressure. The Panthers, as strong as they have been, do give up a lot of goals. The Oilers will have plenty of success scoring here as a result as they are out to prove the doubters wrong but they will be unable to stop this high-flying Florida juggernaut and that means we see a ton of goals here. 10* OVER 7 +115 in Edmonton |

NBA Game of the Week Thursday 10* Top Play Phoenix Suns -2.5 @ Dallas Mavericks @ 7:30 ET - Huge scheduling edge for the Suns here. The Mavericks are in the 2nd game of a back to back while Phoenix has been off since Monday. Phoenix has beaten Dallas in 8 of last 9 meetings SU and we have a small number to cover here with this one in the -2.5 range. I know the Mavericks are hot but so too are the Suns and they are the better overall team. Phoenix has the better shooting stats on offense and defense and given the scheduling edge and match-up edges here, look for the Suns to continue their series dominance in meetings between these teams. By the way, Phoenix is also 8-1 last 9 road games and the Suns have won 6 straight away from home! 10* PHOENIX -2.5 |

CBB Earliest Dominator Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 143 in Providence Friars vs Georgetown Hoyas @ 5 ET - The Friars have not played in almost two weeks. The Hoyas know their best chance to win this game is to come into Providence and try to run the Friars right out of the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Indeed, Georgetown likes to play at a fast pace and they could try to utilize that here to catch Providence a little flat-footed after the layoff. The problem for the Hoyas is they have a tendency to ignore defense. This is particularly true on the road where they are allowing 80 points per game. Georgetown is off rare B2B unders but this was preceded by a 5-0 run to the over and the Hoyas consistently allow big point totals. Providence is not known as a particularly high-scoring team but they have averaged 75 points as a host this season. The Friars scored 83 in most recent game and should get at least that here and they are a 10 point favorite here an 83-73 game puts this well over the posted total. I like our chances for solid winner here! 10* OVER 143 in Providence |

NHL Early Annihilation Wednesday 10* Top Play New York Rangers Money Line +135 vs Toronto Maple Leafs @ 7:35 ET - The Maple Leafs are simply over-rated here on the road. They have been the higher-scoring team of late in comparison with the Rangers and so they are the more attractive team to the betting markets as that catches attention. However, this New York team has been the much better team recently in terms of stifling opponents and getting strong goaltending and I look for that to be the difference maker here and I love the home dog price we are getting here. The Rangers are 6-2 last 8 games and have allowed an average of only 1.2 goals per game those 6 victories! The Maple Leafs will have Jack Campbell between the pipes tonight. He has allowed 13 goals in his last 3 starts! Yes an average of more than 4 per game and then you look at the goalie work the Rangers are getting and look at the money line price on this game and the fact the Rangers are at home. All signs point to a ton of value on the home dog and this is particularly true as the line has been moving toward the Leafs so far today. I love fading line moves. 10* NEW YORK RANGERS +135 |

NBA Earliest Dominator Wednesday 10* Top Play Brooklyn Nets +1.5 @ Washington Wizards @ 7:10 ET - Teams tend to step up big in the first game after a superstar goes down. With Durant getting hurt in Brooklyn's last game, the Nets will have guys upping their game for this one and lets not forget they have two guys on the floor (Harden and Irving) that are superstars that can carry this team too. I like the fact that Brooklyn is 4-0 SU last 4 times when off a loss. I like the fact that Wizards are off a big win over Philly and could be flat here. Yes, Washington has been stacking some wins recently but these were against a lot of weaker competition - until the upset of the Sixers. The upset of Philly had a lot do with the 76ers being in a bad situation and we actually used Washington right here in that game and got the win. Now we come right back and fade a Wizards team that was on an 0-6 ATS run before that win and cover versus Philadelphia. The Nets are hungry and they get the win here! 10* BROOKLYN +1.5 |

NHL Total Blowout Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Arizona Coyotes vs New Jersey Devils @ 7:05 ET - The Coyotes have scored an average of 3.6 goals per game last 9 games and are coming off a huge 5-2 win versus Montreal Monday. Even though Arizona has been scoring better this is still a team that has lost 11 of 15 games and allowed an average of 4 goals per game during this stretch. That said, this total of 6 goals is likely to prove too low. The Devils are in need of a big win and are on home ice and New Jersey has averaged a respectable 3.4 goals per game last 7 games though it has only been a 4-3 stretch for them. The issue for the Devils is allowing too many goals as well as they have conceded an average of 4 goals per game during their current run which has seen them lose 9 of 13 games. Look for plenty of goals again in another non-conference battle that will not feature too much defensive intensity. 10* OVER 6 in Arizona |

CBB Earliest Cash Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 137.5 in Florida Gators vs Mississippi State Bulldogs @ 6:30 ET - Both teams off wins. The Gators have scored 70 points or more in 4 of last 5 games and averaged 75 points in those 4 games. The Bulldogs off B2B wins and have won 6 of 7 games and scored at least 69 points in all 6 games. Mississippi State averaged 78.4 ppg in these 7 games. The posted total on this one is a little low in my opinion given the above. This is particularly true in a game which should be close enough late that we'll see some late fouling and late-game scramble points as a result. Gators averaging 74 points in home games this season and the Bulldogs have been hot and scoring well as you can see. Each of last two meetings between these teams has gone over the total and Mississippi State enters this game on a 5-0 run to the over! 10* OVER 137.5 in Florida |

EPL Afternoon Annihilation Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals in Brentford vs Manchester United @ 3 ET - Brentford is going to push hard for all 3 points in the table at home. Manchester United is unlikely to deliver a clean sheet as they have conceded an average of 1.5 goals per match this season. At the same time, Man U is certainly favored here for a reason. That said, I see no reason this match does not get to at least 2-1. Note that Brentford is conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match this season and now host a highly talented group of attackers as they face Manchester United. The good news for Brentford fans is they have won 4 matches on home soil this season and this club plays with confidence when on their home pitch. Brentford will be on the attack but Manchester United off a high-scoring 2-2 draw and I fully expect a similar result here. 10* OVER 2.5 goals in Brentford |

NBA Early Contrarian Tuesday 10* Top Play New York Knicks +3.5 vs Minnesota Timberwolves @ 7:40 ET - The Wolves are attracting attention here as a small road favorite but, in typical contrarian fashion, I am on the other side. I like the Knicks as a home dog off an embarrassingly low-scoring home loss to Charlotte. Keep in mind, New York had won 5 of 6 (both SU and ATS) before that loss. Also, the Knicks now catch the Timberwolves off a huge win over Golden State. Could Minnesota be a little flat after the Warriors? I absolutely believe so. Also, the Knicks have won 2 of the last 3 meetings and the only loss was by a single point! Value with the home dog getting solid points here! 10* NEW YORK KNICKS +3.5 |

NHL Total Blowout Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 5 goals in Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Islanders @ 7:05 ET - Yesterday's game could have had a lot more scoring and yet it still landed on 5 goals even with the crossbars and posts struck numerous times. There was one fluke goal, by Travis Konecny of the Flyers, but that actually is a boost for today's game as he and his line looked quite improved and the intensity was kicked up a few notches once he got that goal. He had been a scoring drought but that goal lifts his confidence and the Flyers also got Rasmus Ristolainen back last night and he helps move pucks out of the defensive end and get Philly going the other way to break into the offensive zone better. The key factor here is both teams have been struggling overall to score goals but now that has resulted in a rare case here where this total has dropped to a 5. This is a huge value in today's NHL and also Carter Hart has been struggling a bit and will be between the pipes for Philly since Martin Jones started last night. Additionally, Georgiev has not been as strong as Sorokin for the Isles in the crease and since the latter was in between the pipes last night that means we should see the former tonight. The result is excellent line value with this total dropping to a 5. I watched last night's game in its entirety and this back to back sets up well for even more scoring tonight between these divisional rivals. 10* OVER 5 goals |

NHL Earliest Annihilation Tuesday 10* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes +115 @ Boston Bruins @ 7:05 ET - The Bruins are playing well and are a strong team for sure. But how many times do you get to take a team like the Hurricanes as an underdog? Carolina is one of the best teams in the NHL and they are built well to beat a team like Boston. In fact they already did it earlier this season by a 3-0 count! The Canes are a tough hard-nosed team just like their coach is a tough hard-nosed no-nonsense guy. Rod Brind'Amour again gets the most of out his team here and they win this one on the road. Though the Bruins have won 3 straight home games now, this is still a team that were on a run of 7 losses in 11 home games heading into this hot stretch on home ice. The Hurricanes are 13-4-1 on the road this season for the best road mark in the NHL. I will gladly back them here in the rare underdog role. 10* CAROLINA +115 |

Maryland is off an ugly low-scoring loss to Rutgers but the Terrapins entered that game having had only 1 under last 7 games. Both teams off games where they were held under 60 points. Both teams had been trending over prior to those disappointing losses. Also note that the last 4 meetings between these teams all were overs. It all adds up to a solid opportunity for an over based on situational factors. 10* OVER 136 in Michigan |
