01-03-20 | 76ers +4.5 v. Rockets | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Sixers have lost three straight games after the Pacers ran them off the court on Tuesday, an 18-point loss that saddled Philadelphia with its second three-game skid in just over two weeks. Philadelphia fell to 7-11 on the road and it took that last loss against Indiana pretty hard to a full effort will be in play tonight. The Sixers were without Joel Embiid against the Pacers but he returns to action tonight and it should be noted that their seven wins against top ten teams are tied for second most in the NBA. The Sixers are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Houston defeated Denver last time out and the Rockets improved to 12-+4 at home. The Houston pace is what makes the Rockets flashy but they have been pretty average on both ends as they are ranked No. 17 in offensive shooting and No. 19 in defensive shooting. The Rockets are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in non-conference games, off three or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 36-9 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (569) Philadelphia 76ers |

01-03-20 | Toledo +1.5 v. Ball State | Top | 57-61 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Friday Trifecta. We played on Toledo last Saturday and it fell down early and could not recover. That was the third straight loss for the Rockets but this game will have their attention with it being the conference opener. Toledo is predicted to win the MAC West and getting off to a good start is imperative especially against a fellow MAC West opponent. The Rockets have lost three straight games during a season for the first time in 73 games. This is a team that was dominating as they have six double-digit wins this season which gives them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Toledo has held all of its opponents to a 45 percent shooting or less, including six under 40 percent. The Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. After losing the first two games of the Diamond Head Classic, Ball St. was able to win the consolation game against Portland. The Cardinals head home where they are just 3-3 on the season with those victories coming against Defiance, Howard and Indiana-Purdue. The Cardinals are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (841) Toledo Rockets |

01-03-20 | Ohio -9 v. Nevada | Top | 30-21 | Push | 0 | 3 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the OHIO BOBCATS for our CFB Friday Potato Bowl Winner. Ohio finished the season 6-6 but it could have been a lot better as four of those losses came by a field goal or less. Ohio quarterback Nathan Rourke is arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks in program history, owning the record for most touchdowns accounted for in a career with 110 (60 passing, 48 rushing, 2 receiving). This season, Rourke ranks 16th in the FBS in points accounted for per game with 16.5. He is also one of the most productive rushers in MAC history as his career average of 6.1 ypc is tied for 8th in the MAC since 1962. Because of his production, Ohio has been one of the most productive offenses in the FBS in the last three seasons, finishing 9th, 12th, and 20th in scoring offense each season, respectively culminating with an average of 34.7 ppg this season. Nevada will have a tough time finding a way to overcome the loss of four key defensive players from a defense already allowing 32.1 ppg as those players were suspended for this game. The offense will be challenged as well as Nevada averaged just 21.3 ppg on the season and even that is skewed with big numbers against bad teams. They finished 1-4 against bowl teams while getting outgained by 211 ypg which is the most of any team in a bowl game this season. The Wolf Pack won three of their last four games to become bowl eligible but the schedule was in their favor as three of three of those four teams finished 4-8 or worse. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 10 points in the second half of the season that are averaging 440 or more ypg going up against a team allowing between 390 and 440 ypg, after gaining 6.75 or more yppl in their previous game. This situation is 38-9 ATS (80.9 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (275) Ohio Bobcats |

01-02-20 | San Diego v. Loyola Marymount +1.5 | Top | 58-64 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOYOLA MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Loyola Marymount has lost three of four games while failing to cover any of its last five games and that is keeping this number down on this contrarian play. The Lions are coming off a 22-win season a year ago, their most wins since 1989-90, and they welcomed back three starters from the CBI Semifinal team. Loyola Marymount is paced by Eli Scott who has three double-doubles this season, including the WCC's only triple-double. The Toreros are winners of four of their last five games, with the only loss in that stretch being a neutral site three-point defeat to Stanford. San Diego is still just 7-8 overall and are in rebuilding mode. It lost four senior starters who supplied 73 percent of the scoring from last year and it is showing as San Diego ranks 269th in the country in scoring (67.7 ppg) and that is after hanging 93 on Division III Whittier. San Diego's 220 turnovers this season are the most of WCC schools this season and rank 328 nationally among Division I programs. In the WCC, the Toreros are 10th in shooting percentage (42.9) and a distant 10th in three-point shooting (30.9 percent). The next worst shooting team from deep, Pepperdine, hits 35.7 percent behind the arc. 10* (684) Loyola Marymount Lions |

01-02-20 | Blues v. Avalanche -130 | Top | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO AVALANCHE for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Colorado comes into tonight on a three-game losing streak while losing five of its last six games. The Avalanche have allowed 20 goals in their last four losses. Their struggles continued despite the return of key defensemen Cale Makar and Erik Johnson from injuries. Additionally, they have lost four straight home games but are still a solid 10-7-2 at home. The Avalanche are 7-0 in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. The Blues have won 12 of their last 16 games and they are 10-1-1 overall against Central Division teams. Clearly, they are backing up their Stanley Cup Championship from a year ago but this is a difficult spot playing on the road against a desperate team. Here, we play on home favorites against the money line with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after having lost three of their last four games playing a winning team in the first half of the season. This situation is 38-11 (77.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (70) Colorado Avalanche |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Raptors v. Heat -5 | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Miami is sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 24-9 record as it had a five-game winning streak snapped in its most recent game. The Heat should be motivated after an embarrassing 123-105 loss at the lowly Wizards on Monday. The Heat allowed a season-high 42 points in the second quarter. Miami head home with a 15-1 record, the best in the NBA, with the only loss coming against the Lakers by just three points. The Heat are 8-0 this season following a loss, covering seven of those games. We won with Toronto on Tuesday as it defeated the Cavaliers by 20 points to improve to 14-5 at home but have struggled on the road with a 2-4 record against winning teams. This season, with expectations lowered, the Raptors have been solid, sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and just 1.5 games behind the Heat. The Raptors remain banged up as Pascal Siakam, the reigning NBA Most Improved Player, leads Toronto in scoring (25.1 ppg) and is tied for the top spot in rebounds (8.0 rpg). His absence, and that of Marc Gasol (6.6 rpg) and Norman Powell (14.4 ppg) is a big factor in this matchup. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a favorite of 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 56-25 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (550) Miami Heat |

01-02-20 | Boston College v. Cincinnati -7 | Top | 6-38 | Win | 100 | 24 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our CFB Thursday Birmingham Bowl Winner. Boston College ended the season 6-6 and it will be without a couple key pieces. Head coach Steve Addazio was fired after the regular season and has since been hired by Colorado St. Wide receivers coach Rich Gunnell will serve as the interim coach for this game. Additionally, they will not have star running back AJ Dillon, who rushed for 1,685 yards and scored 14 touchdowns this season and is the Boston College all-time leading rusher. He has declared for the draft and is sitting out the game. That puts a lot of pressure on quarterback Dennis Grosel who completed under 50 percent of his passes, sometimes turning the Boston College offense one-dimensional. On the other side, the Eagles defense is allowing 480.3 ypg which is tied for fourth worst in the country. The Eagles are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. In just three seasons, Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell took his team from four wins to less than 90 seconds away from a conference championship. The Bearcats lost only three games this season, one to Ohio St. and the final two against Memphis, the eventual AAC Champion. Cincinnati is led offensively by running back Michael Warren and dual-threat quarterback Desmond Ridder. Warren collected 1,160 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground, while Ridder threw for 2,069 yards and 17 touchdowns while rushing for 545 yards and two scores. Cincinnati allowed 21.7 ppg, leading the conference in scoring defense for a second consecutive year. Cincinnati is 6-0 ATS against defenses allowing 8 or more passing ypa over the last two seasons. 10* (272) Cincinnati Bearcats |

01-01-20 | Baylor +5 v. Georgia | Top | 14-26 | Loss | -107 | 30 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the BAYLOR BEARS for our CFB Sugar Bowl Winner. This line has come down considerably and for good reason. Georgia is depleted in key areas whether it be by injury or other factors. Starting offensive linemen Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson will miss the game after declaring early for the NFL draft, while right guard Ben Cleveland will miss the game, reportedly for academic reasons. Second-leading rusher Brian Herrien also won't play for undisclosed reasons, and it's believed several other players won't be on hand. Additionally, the status of leading rusher D'Andre Swift is also uncertain due to a shoulder injury he suffered late in the year. That is a lot to overcome and it was so bad that head coach Kirby Smart closed all 11 of the team's practices prior to arriving in New Orleans. It was a remarkable season for Baylor that on one saw coming. The Bears finished 1-11 in 2017, improved to 7-6 in 2018 before this year's 11-2 campaign, their only losses coming to Oklahoma. No. 7 Baylor lost to the Sooners in the regular season and later 30-23 in overtime of the Big 12 championship game. While Georgia is shorthanded, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule said that he will have his entire team at his disposal, including starting quarterback Charlie Brewer, who left the Big 12 championship game on Dec. 7 with a concussion. Being down 15 scholarship players is a big deal and you know that Baylor is going to have a ton of fight and energy coming into this game. Rhule coached teams are 14-2 ATS after three or more consecutive wins against the spread. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 10 points with a rushing defense allowing 100 or less rushing ypg, after gaining 75 or less rushing yards last game. This situation is 56-24 ATS (70 percent) since 1992. 10* (269) Baylor Bears |

01-01-20 | Connecticut v. Cincinnati -2.5 | Top | 51-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Cincinnati is coming off a loss against Iowa in Chicago to make it three losses over its last four games but the lone win was an impressive one against Tennessee. The Bearcats are 7-1 at home with the only defeat coming against a pretty solid Colgate team although that was a game they never should have lost. This is a tough place for any opponent to win as the Bearcats are 54-4 at home since the start of the 2016-17 season, including a 25-2 mark against AAC teams. Additionally, the Bearcats are 25-4 in conference openers since 1990 (start of the Bob Huggins coaching era), including a 5-1 mark in AAC lid lifters. Connecticut enters league play having won three in a row and six of its last seven. There are not many high expectations for the Huskies as they have won 16 games or less in each of the last three seasons and are pegged to finish sixth in the AAC. The Huskies are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win of more than 20 points while going 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games following two straight up wins of more than 20 points. 10* (830) Cincinnati Bearcats |

12-31-19 | Cavs v. Raptors -9 | Top | 97-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. We are catching some good value with Toronto. The Raptors are coming off a loss at home against Oklahoma City on Sunday which was just their fifth home loss of the season. That can be chalked up to a letdown from the previous night when they dismantled Boston on the road, a revenge game from their previous contest on Christmas Day where they lost at home by 16 points to the Celtics. The Raptors were limited to eight fastbreak points in the loss to the Thunder and they entered the game averaging an NBA-best 18.8 fastbreak ppg. The Raptors are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with a losing straight up record. Cleveland is coming off a win at Minnesota, making it four wins over its last five games. All four of the wins came against losing teams and the Cavaliers have just one victory against a team with a winning record and that in their second game of the season. Since then, they are 0-16 against winning teams, losing by an average of 18.1 ppg. the Cavaliers are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points averaging 83 or more shots per game going up against an opponent after two straight games attempting 10 or less free throws than opponent. This situation is 31-11 ATS (73.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (532) Toronto Raptors |

12-31-19 | Lightning v. Sabres +160 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Tampa Bay dominated in its home schedule in December by earning points in seven of 10 games), but now it will have to have to maintain the momentum by playing in Buffalo, Montreal, Ottawa and Carolina as it starts a four-game roadtrip. The Lightning are just 8-6-2 on the road and this is just the second road game since December 10. Tampa Bay is 1-8 after having won three of their last four games this season. Buffalo has lost three straight games including a pair of losses against Boston over the weekend. The Sabres had won five straight home games prior to the loss against the Bruins and going back, they are 16-7 against the money line in their last 23 home games revenging a loss vs opponent of two goals or more. Tampa Bay has been victorious in all three games against Buffalo, outscoring the Sabres 13-7 in the three wins. The first two contests were in Stockholm while the third game was in Tampa Bay so this is the first meeting in Buffalo. Here, we play on home teams against the money line revenging a loss of three goals or more, off two consecutive losses against division rivals. This situation is 34-15 (69.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (34) Buffalo Sabres |

12-31-19 | Georgetown v. Providence +1.5 | Top | 60-76 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Providence is coming off a much needed win prior to the Christmas break as it rolled over Texas by 22 points. The Friars held the Longhorns to an offensive rebounding percentage of 20.0 (below their season average of 30.5) and an effective field goal percentage of 0.342 (below their season average of 0.528). After a 4-1 start, the Friars went on a 2-5 run so that victory was big heading into conference action and it also snapped a seven-game non-cover run. The Hoyas have won six straight games while covering all of those as well. That is a big reason the line have flipped to Georgetown now favored on the road. Ball control will be a big factor here as the Friars are forcing turnovers while Georgetown has been prone to giving it away. Providence ranks second in the Big East in turnover margin at +3.4 while also second in the conference in steals at 9.8 per game. The Friars averaging 14.1 turnovers per game compared to 17.5 by its opponents. Georgetown is ranked 271st in the nation with a turnover percentage of 20.8 percent, while the Providence defense forces the 25th-most turnovers in the country at 24.6 percent. Here, we play on home teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by more than 18 points in their previous game, playing a winning team. This situation is 48-20 ATS (70.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (804) Providence Friars |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Kansas State v. Navy -2.5 | Top | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the NAVY MIDSHIPMEN for our CFB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. This is a great spot for Navy which comes in loads of momentum following three straight wins and going 8-1 over its last 10 games, the lone loss coming against Notre Dame. Midshipmen quarterback Malcolm Perry broke a lot of school records this season and he will be a nightmare matchup for Kansas St. as not only is Navy the No. 1 rushing offense in the country but they own the No. 2 redzone offense and will square off against the No. 130 in redzone defense in Kansas St. Additionally, the Wildcats rushing defense is mediocre as they are ranked No. 61 and allow an average of 4.9 ypc. Kansas St. closed the season with a little bit of momentum as it defeated Texas Tech and Iowa St. over its final two games to finish third in the Big XII Conference. Kansas St. split its six games against bowl teams but that is misleading as the Wildcats were outgained by an average of 106 ypg which is the fourth most among bowl teams from the Power 5 conferences. Overall, Navy outgained nine of 12 opponents while the Wildcats outgained just five of 12 foes. Navy is 40-19 ATS in its last 59 games after outrushing opponent by 150 or more yards in two straight games. Here, we play on teams averaging 4.8 or more ypc going up against teams averaging between 4.3 and 4.8 ypc, after outrushing opponent by 125 or more yards last game. This situation is 116-56 ATS (67.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (258) Navy Midshipmen |

12-31-19 | Kentucky +3 v. Virginia Tech | Top | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 2 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the KENTUCKY WILDCATS for our CFB Tuesday Afternoon Dominator. Kentucky comes in riding a three-game winning streak including a 32-point win over rival Louisville in its regular season finale. The Wildcats were 4-5 but vaulted into a bowl game with their strong finish. The defense is the strength as they are ranked No. 20 overall and No. 12 in scoring. Kentucky is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games against non-conference opponents. While going just 2-4 against fellow bowl teams, Kentucky outgained those six teams by an average of 24 ypg. Conversely, Virginia Tech went 4-3 against bowlers but were outgained by 27 ypg on average. While those margins are not overwhelming, the strength of schedules actually make those numbers skewed as the ACC as a conference ranked lower than the Pac 12 and the AAC. A big storyline here is that this is the last game for Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster so while they will be jacked up the matchup is not a good one. Virginia Tech has struggled against running quarterbacks this season and Kentucky quarterback Lynn Bowden Jr. is an electric athlete. He has averaged 174.3 ypg during the three-game winning streak. Here, we play against teams off an upset loss to a conference rival as a favorite going up against an opponent off two consecutive home wins by 14 points or more. This situation is 35-10 ATS (77.8 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (291) Kentucky Wildcats |

12-30-19 | Suns v. Blazers -4.5 | Top | 122-116 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Blazers have lost two straight games although both came against two of the top teams in the Western conference in the Lakers and Jazz. Against Los Angeles, Portland's bench was outscored 72-39 in the beating, while Damian Lillard scored 31 points to post his 11th 30-point effort of the season. Portland has now failed to cover its last four games while falling to just .500 at home. Still, the Blazers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite and while going 0-4-1 ATS against winning teams at home, the Blazers are 6-3-1 ATS at home against losing teams. Phoenix snapped a seven-game losing streak with a win at Sacramento on Saturday. This came after blowing a 12-point lead entering the fourth quarter against Golden St., getting outscored 39-18 in the final period. The Suns haven't defeated Portland since posting a 118-115 overtime win on Nov. 2, 2016, in Phoenix. Phoenix is 1-6 ATS in its last seven games following a straight up win. 10* (522) Portland Trailblazers |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Virginia +15 v. Florida | Top | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show |
This is a play on the VIRGINIA CAVALIERS for our CFB Orange Bowl Winner. Even though they were dismantled in the ACC Championship by Clemson, the Cavaliers are clearly the second best team in the conference and while that might not be saying much to some, this is a solid team with a solid coach that wants to rebound from that defeat. Scoring hasn't been a problem for the Cavaliers, whose 421 total points and 32.4 ppg average are both the second-highest marks in school history. The Cavaliers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games against teams with a winning record. Florida is an overrated No. 9 in the CFP Rankings as it has defeated hardly anyone. A win over No. 12 Auburn was nice but that is the only win over a team ranked within the top 30. The Gators finished the season just +57 ypg against bowl teams so there was no domination to make them a two-touchdown favorite here. Florida won't have cornerback C.J. Henderson, who is sitting out after declaring for the draft and he is a big piece of the secondary that decided to give up on his team despite a high profile bowl game. Bowl favorites are a dismal 9-36 ATS in the last 45 occurrences when coming off three or more ATS wins and facing an opponent that scored 21 or fewer points last time out. Additionally, we play against teams with a winning percentage of .800 or better after beating the spread by 49 or more points total in their last five games, playing a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. This situation is 46-18 ATS (71.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (251) Virginia Cavaliers |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Davidson +2 v. Vanderbilt | Top | 71-76 | Loss | -118 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Davidson has won and covered three straight games as it heads into Vanderbilt for its final non-conference tuneup prior to Atlantic Ten play. The Wildcats have played a tough schedule thus far with some quality losses and while the Commodores are not much of a team, a win over an SEC team can do some good. Davidson defeated Loyola Chicago 59-56 eight days ago in its most recent win and Loyola Chicago defeated Vanderbilt earlier this season 78-70 in Phoenix. Vanderbilt has played no one up to this point and the Commodores are the worst team in the SEC and after having gone 9-23 last season including 0-18 in the conference. So far during non-conference action, they have played the 345th ranked schedule in the country and that is out of 353 teams in Division I. Vanderbilt lost a key contributor in Clevon Brown as he is out with a knee injury which hurts as only three other players are averaging more than 6.7 ppg. Here, we play against home teams as an underdog or pickem after going over the total by 48 or more points total in their last seven games going up against an opponent after going under the total by 48 or more points total in their last ten games. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (749) Davidson Wildcats |

12-29-19 | Rockets -4 v. Pelicans | Top | 112-127 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Houston bounced back from the Christmas debacle against Golden St. with a 10-point win over Brooklyn last night to make it five wins over their last six games. The Rockets remain a half-game ahead of Dallas in the Southwest Division while sitting in third place in the Western Conference. As expected, Russell Westbrook is sitting this game out in the second of a back-to-back but that is creating value. Also adding to that is the fact that New Orleans has won three straight games including a 22-point win over Indiana on Saturday. The Pelicans are still just 5-11 at home with those five wins being the second fewest in the Western conference. The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games while the Pelicans are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 off a home win by 20 points or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 73-35 ATS (67.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (503) Houston Rockets |

12-29-19 | Stars v. Coyotes -112 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARIZONA COYOTES for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. The Coyotes fell out of the top spot in the Pacific Division with Saturday night's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights on the road. Following its second straight loss, Arizona is now two points behind Vegas with an important stretch coming up with four straight home games, three against current playoff teams. Arizona is 7-0 after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game this season. Dallas is coming off a 3-2 shootout win at home against the Avalanche on Saturday. The Stars had lost three of four but are in third place in the Central Division after their first game since December 22. They improved to 13-6-2 at home but are just 8-8-2 on the road and the Stars are 0-4 in their last four games when their opponent scores two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play on home favorites against the money line with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after having lost three of their last four games, playing a winning team in the first half of the season. This situation is 38-9 (80.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (16) Arizona Coyotes |

12-29-19 | Richmond +6.5 v. Alabama | Top | 78-90 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the RICHMOND SPIDERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Richmond is coming off a loss at Radford in its last game a week ago which snapped a five-game winning streak for the Spiders. That was just the second loss of the season for the Spiders, the first coming against Auburn, and they will look to close the non-conference season strong with a win prior to A-10 action stating on Thursday. This team is loaded and deep as they returned all five starters as well as getting Nick Sherod back who missed most of last season with a knee injury after being a starter the previous two seasons. This is probably the deepest team Richmond has had since the team made the NCAA tournament in 2011 with at least 10 players in regular rotation. Alabama has won two straight games and four of its last five, covering all five of those games. That is pushing this number up higher than it should be. Ball control will be a factor here as the Richmond offense has turned the ball over on 16.2 percent of its possessions, the 20th-best mark in the country. Conversely, 21.5 percent of all Alabama possessions have resulted in a turnover which is 291st, nationally. 10* (715) Richmond Spiders |

12-29-19 | Eagles v. Giants +4.5 | Top | 34-17 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK GIANTS for our NFL Sunday Star Attraction. This is another instance of going against a team that needs to win and one simple belief for that is if a team needs to win in Week 17 to get into the playoffs, it cannot be that good of a team to begin with. That is certainly the case for the Eagles which are coming off a must win game against the Cowboys. We are not here saying the Eagles cannot or will not win this game but this line is simply too high. The Giants have won two straight games, albeit against Miami and Washington and they would like nothing more than to finish with three straight wins and knock their rival from the playoffs. Daniel Jones is coming off the best game of his rookie season where he threw for 352 yards and five touchdowns. He has another good matchup here and while the Eagles help Dak Prescott in check last week, clearly he was not close to 100 percent. Additionally, Saquon Barkley is back as he has two straight 100-yard games, including a career-best 189 yards rushing last week. He finished with a franchise-record 279 yards from scrimmage. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 off an upset win as a home underdog, playing a losing team in the second half of the season. This situation is 24-3 ATS (88.9 percent) since 1983. 10* (116) New York Giants |

12-29-19 | Raiders v. Broncos -3 | Top | 15-16 | Loss | -124 | 47 h 6 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER BRONCOS for our AFC West Game of the Year. Oakland still has an outside shot at a playoff berth as it needs a win here plus losses by Pittsburgh and Tennessee, a win by Indianapolis and a win or tie from either Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles Chargers or New England. The scenario for the final four teams would give the Raiders the strength of schedule tiebreaker over Pittsburgh. That being said, this is a very inconsistent team and one that should not be trusted on the road. The Raiders are 2-5 away from home and their -105 scoring differential of fifth worst in the NFL. Denver has played well of late by winning three of its last four games has played very well in those wins. The game against Kansas City can be tossed out since it was being played in a snowstorm. Oakland has some horrible history heading into this game. The Raiders are 0-12 ATS in their last 12 games as divisional underdogs coming off a SU/ATS Win, 0-18 ATS in their last 18 games following a win in which they had less than 400 yards of offense and did not commit a single turnover and 0-11 ATS in their last 11 road games following a win. This includes losses this season at the Packers 42-24 and at the Jets 34-2. 10* (132) Denver Broncos |

12-28-19 | Oral Roberts v. BYU -14 | Top | 73-79 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. BYU defeated Weber St. 91-61 a week ago, its third 30-point win during a current four-game win streak. The Cougars defeated UNLV 83-50 at Vivint Smart Home Arena and Nevada 74-42 at home as well. They are ranked No. 11 in the country in shooting at 49.5 percent while hitting 40.9 percent of shots from long range, good for No. 7 in the nation. This team is loaded as BYU has three players on its roster with 1,000 career points, including two in the top 20 on the BYU career scoring list. Of the four losses, two were against Kansas and San Diego St. while the other two came in overtime on the road. Oral Roberts has won four straight games as well but nowhere near against the same opposition and the Golden Eagles bring in a four-game ATS winning streak and it actually could be eight games but four games were not on the board as those came against non-Division I teams which shows how weak the schedule has been. Here, we play on teams after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, team from a second tier division 1-A conference against a team from a mid-major conference. This situation is 82-49 ATS (62.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (660) BYU Cougars |

12-28-19 | Clemson -1.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 29-23 | Win | 100 | 52 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CFB Saturday Fiesta Bowl Winner. The Buckeye defense has not seen a quarterback all season long that even comes close to the talent level of Trevor Lawrence. This will be a massive adjustment for the Ohio St. defenders. Lawrence for the season has over 3,100 yards passing and 34 touchdowns. But he also gets it done on the ground as he has rushed for 407 yards and seven scores. While the Buckeyes will be focused to slow Lawrence down, there is another big weapon they have to worry about. Travis Etienne is a monster in the backfield as he averages 8.2 ypc and scores a touchdown about every 11th time he takes a handoff. His 19 plays of 20 or more yards are tied for fifth among all non-receivers. The three running backs ahead of him on the list all have considerably more offensive touches than his 211. Etienne seems like a new challenge altogether in that the Buckeyes cannot make him the focal point of their defensive plan, nor can they afford to overlook him. This Ohio St. roster is one of the best in recent memory. The Buckeyes also have one of the most talented backfields in the country, comprised with Heisman finalist quarterback Justin Fields and Doak Walker Award finalist running back J.K. Dobbins. But Clemson is clearly the best defense that the Buckeyes will have faced this season. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables has had multiple weeks to prepare for the Buckeyes and we have seen what he has done in the past when given extra time to prepare. Clemson is a team that has won 28 straight games with CFP experience matched up with a group not all that familiar with the big stage. 10* (243) Clemson Tigers |

12-28-19 | Toledo +1.5 v. Bradley | Top | 66-78 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. It was an ugly week last week for Toledo which lost both of its games as favorites against what are considered inferior teams. The Rockets were riding a five-game winning streak but have nor dropped four straight against the number which is adding value to this play here. The last two games can be chalked up as an aberration as the Rockets' six double-digit wins this season give them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Bradley is 7-0 inside Carver Arena this season and has won 11 straight home games dating back to last year. Junior forward Elijah Childs leads the Braves with 15.0 ppg and 9.4 rpg but he is out on Saturday as he is dealing with a hand injury and is expected to be out another week. Here, we play on teams after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by more than 12 points in two consecutive games. This situation is 53-23 ATS (69.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (621) Toledo Rockets |

12-27-19 | Suns -3 v. Warriors | Top | 96-105 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Entering last weekend, Golden St. had the worst record in the NBA but that is no longer the case as the Warriors have won three straight games including an upset win over Houston on Christmas Day. The gameplan was to stop James Harden and let the rest of the Rockets beat them and they did just that as the rest of the team shot 34.1 percent from the floor. That being said, this is not a team that should be trusted on a nightly basis as a full effort was put forth two nights ago in front of a national audience. The Warriors are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 home games against teams with a losing road record. Phoenix has not played since Monday when it lost to Denver by just a bucket at home which extended its losing streak to seven games. The last five have come against teams currently in playoff positions with the other two coming against teams within two games of a playoff spot. This is a team they should take care of and going back, the Suns are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, we play on road teams with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 where the line is +3 to -3 after five or more consecutive losses, playing a team with a losing record. This situation is 50-22 ATS (69.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (555) Phoenix Suns |

12-27-19 | USC +3 v. Iowa | Top | 24-49 | Loss | -125 | 28 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the USC TROJANS for our CFB Friday Holiday Bowl Winner. USC opened the season 3-3 but the Trojans came to life by winning five of their last six games to bounce back from a disappointing 2018 season where they went 5-7. The four USC losses have largely come against solid competition with three of the four at the hands of ranked opponents. The poise of USC quarterback Kedon Slovis the last few games and the growth of the wide receivers into Graham Harrell’s scheme has really shown that this is a deadly offense. It is ranked as one of the best for a reason. Slovis ended up missing only one full game and was named Pac 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year after completing 260 of 362 passes. He has a QB rating of 167.60 and averages 294.7ypg. The Hawkeyes surrender an average of only 184.2 ypg through the air, hold opposing quarterbacks to a passer rating of 113.08, and have allowed only twelve passing touchdowns while picking off eleven passes. But they have not faced a passing offense such as this. Iowa is totally dependent on its defense, which is ranked 3rd and 12th in scoring and total defense. The offense has been a different story as the Hawkeyes are ranked 96th, 97th, & 98th in scoring, rushing, and total offense respectively. Seven of last 10 games have been decided by one possession. While it may seem off because of the Pac 12, the Trojans played the 11th toughest schedule in the nation. 10* (233) USC Trojans |

12-27-19 | Bruins v. Sabres +129 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES as part of our NHL Friday Hat Trick. All 31 NHL teams got a three-day holiday break and Buffalo definitely was one team that needed it to get some much needed rest and recuperation. The Sabres are coming off a loss against Ottawa and they have lost four of five games and are now five points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The road has been the issue as Buffalo is 6-11-4 but it is 11-3-3 at home including wins in five straight games. Though the Atlantic Division-leading Bruins entered the recent break amid a 2-0-3 stretch, Monday's 7-3 home win over Washington was just their second victory over the last 10 contests. The win over the Capitals pulled them to within four points of first place in the East but they are just 9-6-1 on the road. The Bruins are 2-6 in their last eight games as a favorite. Here, we play on home teams against the money line off a road loss against a division rival going up against an opponent after a home game where both teams score three or more goals. This situation is 244-152 (61.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (42) Buffalo Sabres |

12-26-19 | Spurs v. Mavs -6.5 | Top | 98-102 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Dallas held its own without Luka Doncic after missing four games following an ankle injury two minutes into the Miami game back on December 14. The Mavericks went 2-2 over that stretch with all four games coming against the top four teams from the Eastern Conference and three of those were on the road. Doncic is back tonight and Dallas is back home prior to a three-game roadtrip to close out December. We have to face facts and come to the conclusion San Antonio is no longer the San Antonio of old. The Spurs are coming off a win at Memphis on Monday but they are just 1217 on the season and they have gone an abysmal 1-10 ATS this season following their first 11 wins. They have yet to win as road underdogs, going 0-7 while covering just one of those games. Here, we play on home favorites after leading their last three games by five or more points at the half going up against an opponent after a combined score of 235 points or more. This situation is 46-17 ATS (73 percent) since 1996. 10* (540) Dallas Mavericks |

12-26-19 | Miami-FL v. Louisiana Tech +6.5 | Top | 0-14 | Win | 100 | 54 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOUISIANA TECH BULLDOGS for our CFB Thursday Independence Bowl Winner. This line has come down a point from opening but it is not enough. Miami has little interest in playing in this game as it comes in 6-6 after an underachieving regular season and the proof of not wanting to show up is evidenced by the top players. Defensive ends Jonathan Garvin and Trevon Hill, junior wide receiver Jeff Thomas, and linebacker Michael Pinckney have all decided to skip the Independence Bowl to prepare for the NFL draft. That says a lot. Louisiana Tech meanwhile would like nothing more than to secure a win over a major program to gain its first 10-win season since 1984. The Bulldogs are led by quarterback J'Mar Smith, Conference USA's Offensive Player of the Year and one of the most dynamic quarterbacks the Hurricanes have faced this season. The Hurricanes defense was one of the best this season but they are down their three best players and that will be a huge difference here. On the other side, the quarterback situation for Miami is so bad, a starter has yet to be names as it was an open tryout heading into the bowl game. The Louisiana Tech's campus in Ruston is located about an hour away from Shreveport, where the Independence Bowl will be played. Needless to say, the Bulldogs should have a distinct home-field advantage on Thursday. 10* (224) Louisiana Tech Bulldogs |

12-25-19 | Houston v. Washington +1 | Top | 75-71 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Washington and Houston are coming off blowout wins in the first two rounds of the Diamond Head Classic and we are catching a great line with the Huskies. They defeated Ball St. by 21 points and then took out host Hawaii by 11 points on Monday. They are led by their trio of former McDonald's All-Americans and while they are young, they are extremely talented. Houston is off to a solid 9-3 start following wins against Portland and Georgia Tech. They made a trip to the Sweet 16 last season and finished 33-4 overall but they had to replace four starters and have not defeated anyone of note this season. Houston is a great rebounding team but this will be the biggest test of the season against a tall and athletic Washington team. The Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite. 10* (828) Washington Huskies |

12-25-19 | Clippers v. Lakers -2 | Top | 111-106 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Wednesday Star Attraction. This is a revenge game for the Lakers which lost the season opener to the Clippers by 10 points and with all of the talk about the Clippers taking over the Los Angeles brand, the Lakers will be highly motivated here. On top of that, they come into tonight riding a three-game losing streak. LeBron James missed a 128-104 loss to the visiting Nuggets on Sunday because of a muscle strain near his rib cage. The defeat was the most one-sided of the season for the Lakers but he is listed as probable as is Anthony Davis. The Clippers lost to Oklahoma City last time out and have lost two of three and three of their last five. Here, we play on home teams revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a home favorite. This situation is 57-26 ATS (68.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (530) Los Angeles Lakers |

12-24-19 | BYU -1 v. Hawaii | Top | 34-38 | Loss | -106 | 27 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our CFB Tuesday Hawaii Bowl Blockbuster. Hawaii finished the regular season strong with a run of four straight wins but three of those were against non-bowl teams while the other was an ugly win against San Diego St. and of its nine total wins, only three came against bowl teams. The Warriors lost the yardage battle in five of the seven games against bowlers and in the four outright losses, they lost by an average of 26.3 ppg. BYU finished the season 7-5 with four of those wins coming against bowl teams including a win over Boise St., the Broncos only regular season loss of the season. The Cougars finished strong on the field as they outgained seven of their last eight opponents including the last five but that did not pay off at the ticket window as BYU dropped its last four games against the number. How important is the outcome of the Hawaii Bowl to BYU coach Kalani Sitake, his staff and the Cougar players? According to BYU Insiders, very important. This will be a business trip, not a vacation, to be sure. Here, we play on road favorites after allowing 14 points or less last game going up against an opponent after allowing 31 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 107-60 ATS (64.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (221) BYU Cougars |

12-23-19 | Washington -6 v. Hawaii | Top | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Washington and Hawaii are coming off wins in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic but the Huskies looked a lot more impressive. They defeated Ball St. 21 points but it was the way they did it early on that was special. The Cardinals opened the game making four of their first six three-pointers and head coach Mike Hopkins, who employs the 2-3 zone from his days as an assistant at Syracuse, decided to switch to man and Washington was able to pull away showing that this team has the ability to change it up when needed. They are led by their trio of former McDonald's All-Americans and while they are young, they are extremely talented. Hawaii defeated an average UTEP team by four points and while it is playing on its home floor, the Warriors are severely outmanned in this matchup. The only two games they have played against upper tier talent, they lost to Illinois and Oregon by 13 and 25 points respectively. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem from a major Division 1 conference going up against a team from a mid-major Division 1 conference, playing their 2nd road game in 3 days. This situation is 43-16 ATS (72.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (815) Washington Huskies |

12-23-19 | Blues v. Kings +129 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES KINGS as part of our NHL Monday Hat Trick. St. Louis is humming along with five straight wins to push its lead in the Western Conference to five points over Colorado. The Blues swept their four-game homestand and then opened this three-game roadtrip with a win over San Jose on Saturday. Their eight regulation losses are the fewest in the conference and all of these positives makes St. Louis overpriced in this spot. Los Angeles dropped the final two games of its six-game roadtrip and this will be its first home game in close to two weeks. The Kings are 10-6-1 at home, which is nothing special and going back, they are 23-9 in their last 32 home games following a road trip of seven or more days. Here, we play on road teams when the money line is -100 to -150 with a winning percentage between .600 and .700 off a road win by three goals or more, playing a team with a winning percentage between .300 and .400. This situation is 22-7 (75.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (32) Los Angeles Kings |

12-23-19 | Packers v. Vikings -4.5 | Top | 23-10 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA VIKINGS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. Even though we are 14 games into the season, it is hard to get a grasp on the Packers and how good their 11-3 record really is. They've been outscored in the second and fourth quarters, only four of their 11 wins have come by more than one score and their team rankings in rushing and passing yardage on both offense and defense are all in the bottom half of the league. Green Bay has been outgained in five of its last six and seven of its last 10 games and just two of the 11 wins are against teams in current playoff positions. The Vikings have won eight of their last 10 games after an uneven 2-2 start to the season. There is a lot on the line for Minnesota as well even though it clinched a playoff berth with the Rams loss on Saturday. The only way Minnesota can win the NFC North is if the sputtering Lions beat the Packers in addition to Vikings victories in their last two games. They host Chicago on Dec. 29, with the chance to go 8-0 at home for the first time in 10 years. It is well documented that Kirk Cousins is 0-8 on Monday Night Football but he is not solely to blame. He has completed 191 of 292 passes (65.4 percent) for 2,153 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions, and his passer rating is 92.7 in those games. Here, we play against road underdogs or pickems after having won 8 or more out of their last 10 games. This situation is 40-16 ATS (71.4 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (482) Minnesota Vikings |

12-23-19 | Jazz v. Heat -4 | Top | 104-107 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT as part of our NBA Monday Trifecta. Utah has turned the corner with wins in its last five games but it is not a very impressive 5-0 run as all of those wins came against teams with a losing record. The Jazz have not beaten a team with a winning record since November 12th, a win over Brooklyn and that was at home. They are 0-6 on the road against teams with a winning record, losing those games by an average of 11.7 ppg. The Jazz are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win. Miami has won two straight games following a loss at Memphis and the Heat remain tied for tied place in the Eastern Conference as the top four teams all have current multiple winning streaks. Miami is 12-1 at home with the lone loss coming against the Lakers by just three points. The Heat are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite. 10* (512) Miami Heat |

12-22-19 | UMKC v. South Dakota -7 | Top | 78-75 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the SOUTH DAKOTA COYOTES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. After getting drubbed by Kansas by 41 points, Kansas City returned home and defeated MAC favorite Toledo by 15 points as a seven-point underdog. The Rockets shot just 18 percent from long range while committing 16 turnovers and while you can chalk it up to a great defensive performance from the Kangaroos, that was not the case as this defense is not good as they are ranked No. 240 in shooting defense and now face a very efficient offense looking to rebound. South Dakota, a contender to win the Summit League, is coming off a bad loss against Northern Colorado as it got outscored by 17 points in the second half. Northern Colorado buried seven of its 10 three-pointers in the second half while South Dakota, one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country, was held without a triple in eight attempts. This is the final non-conference game for the Coyotes and they will be not only looking to bounce back from Friday, but also get some revenge from a two-point loss in this facility a year ago. The Kangaroos are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a winning home record while the Coyotes are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (782) South Dakota Coyotes |

12-22-19 | Cowboys v. Eagles +2.5 | Top | 9-17 | Win | 100 | 27 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES for our NFL Sunday Star Attraction. We won with Dallas last week as a home underdog and now it comes into this week as a road favorite which is a complete overreaction to the win last week. Couple that with the Eagles needing a late comeback to defeat to the Redskins and the public will be all over the Cowboys this week.0020Dallas is top ten in scoring offense, total offense, scoring defense and total defense yet it is just 7-7 on the season. The Cowboys can win the NFC East with a win no matter what happens next week but a playoff berth is still in play for the Eagles. Beat the Cowboys and win in Week 17 against the Giants, and they're in so clearly there is a lot at stake for both sides. Carson Wentz is playing one of the true must-win games of his career. He tossed a two-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz in overtime to beat the Giants and followed up on the road with a touchdown pass to Greg Ward to beat the Redskins. He is down his top three receivers so expect big games from Ertz and Ward as the Cowboys struggle to defend the middle of the field. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off an upset win by 14 or more points as a home underdog, after the first month of the season. This situation is 29-7 ATS (80.6 percent) since 1983. 10* (476) Philadelphia Eagles |

12-22-19 | Panthers +7 v. Colts | Top | 6-38 | Loss | -120 | 24 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the CAROLINA PANTHERS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. The Colts put up a dud for us on Monday night as the Saints used the Drew Brees record setting night as a means for motivation. Now there is nothing to play for as a rash of injuries, a flurry of costly special teams mistakes, and back-to-back sub-par defensive performances led to a fourth consecutive loss at New Orleans, sealing their playoff fate. They've been outscored 31-7 in the fourth quarter of the last three games to go along with no running game. The Panthers have given up on the Kyle Allen experiment that actually started out good but has failed miserably of late. They have lost six straight games but four of those losses came by just one possession and there is no wat the Colts should be laying this number with nothing on the line especially facing Christian McCaffrey. He needs 186 yards receiving over the final two games to become the third player to have 1,000 yards both rushing and receiving so he will be a heavy part of the passing game with new starter Will Grier. Here, we play against home favorites with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 off a road loss, playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. This situation is 49-18 ATS (73.1 percent) since 1983. 10* (471) Carolina Panthers |

12-21-19 | Penguins v. Canucks -111 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the VANCOUVER CANUCKS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. We played against Pittsburgh last night but it jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead and never looked back. The Penguins earned their fourth consecutive victory, and 10th in the past 13 games, by defeating Oilers 5-2 on Friday. They are still just 7-6-2 on the road and the Penguins are 0-4 in their last four games after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. The Canucks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-4 overtime victory against the Golden Knights on Thursday as Chris Tanev scored the winner 1:30 into the extra session. Vancouver improved to 9-5-3 at home and it sits just three points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The Canucks are 5-2 in their last seven games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play against road underdogs of +100 to +150 against the money line playing their 3rd road game in 5 days, in December games. This situation is 70-25 (73.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (80) Vancouver Canucks |

12-21-19 | Oregon State v. Texas A&M +6.5 | Top | 49-64 | Win | 100 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS A&M AGGIES for our CBB Game of the Week. Oregon St. is off to a 9-1 start as it has won seven straight games following its lone loss against Oklahoma. This includes a 3-0 record on the road but all three wins were as double-digit favorites so the Beavers take a big step up in competition here even though the Aggies are not expected to do a whole lot in the SEC. They have not been favored on the road against a major conference team by this many points since 2012 and there really is no reason for it to happen now. Texas A&M snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Texas A&M-CC but it was close with another non-cover which put the Aggies at 1-8 on the season against the number. These are the streaks we love to go against especially with a veteran team that returns a ton of talent as five of the six top scorers are back from last season and this is a great opportunity to build off that win. Home losses against Gonzaga and Temple were expected but this is one they should not let get away. 10* (708) Texas A&M Aggies |

12-21-19 | Rams +7 v. 49ers | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 32 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES RAMS for our NFL Saturday Primetime Punisher. The Rams are coming off a loss last week in Dallas which severely hurt their playoff chances. They have to win out in their final two games, here and then next week at home against the Cardinals. Additionally, Los Angeles needs Minnesota to love this Monday and then next week at home against the Bears. All scenarios are more than possible so it is up to the Rams to do its job. The Rams are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss. San Francisco is coming off a bad loss against Atlanta last Sunday and while it can still lock down the No. seed in the NFC, it can also fall to the No. 5 seed which is where it currently sits. The 49ers are just 3-2 against the top 10 in the league while playing the No. 17 ranked schedule. While these teams are separated by three games, San Francisco seems pretty overpriced here and this is just the second time the Rams have been road underdogs and by far by the biggest amount. The 49ers are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a home favorite. Here, we play on underdogs or pickems with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 off an upset loss as a road favorite, in the second half of the season. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (451) Los Angeles Rams |

12-21-19 | Washington v. Boise State +3.5 | Top | 38-7 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOISE ST. BRONCOS for our CFB Game of the Week. The storyline here is that this is the final game for Washington head coach Chris Peterson and he squares off against his former team which he directed a complete turnaround to where they are now. It is a great feel good story but the game is played on the field and the Broncos will not have any less motivation. Boise St. lost once this season, a three-point loss at BYU, and was favored in every game it played. Granted, they are now playing a team from a Power 5 conference but the Pac 12 is the worst of the bunch. Since 2006, the Broncos are 5-3 as neutral-site underdogs and two of those losses came back to back with an interim coach in the 2013 Hawaii Bowl vs. Oregon St. and in the first game under head coach Bryan Harsin in 2014 against Ole Miss. The Broncos are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog. Washington struggled down the stretch, going 3-4 in its last seven games and two of those losses came against teams not playing in a bowl game. Pac 12 teams are 2-20 ATS in bowl games over the last three years while the Huskies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game. 10* (216) Boise St. Broncos |

12-21-19 | Bills +7 v. Patriots | Top | 17-24 | Push | 0 | 28 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO BILLS for our NFL Saturday Afternoon Dominator. This is a game where you have to trust the eye test and not the history lesson. New England is making its 11th straight playoff appearance but this could be the worst of the bunch despite an 11-3 record. The defense is great but the offense has struggled as Tom Brady looks slow and inaccurate and he has no weapons to throw to. Facing one of the best defenses in the league will be a challenge and the Patriots struggled in the first meeting as they won by six points but mustered a mere 224 yards of total offense and the difference was a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. Playing at home with a chance to win the division in tough to go against but the Patriots are 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning record. Buffalo will not be intimidated here just like last week when they were not against the Steelers. They held Pittsburgh to 229 total yards and the site of Brady is not going to scare them off. The offense has certainly been inconsistent but Josh Allen has the ability to confuse the Patriots with his mobility. The Bills are 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight road games. Here, we play on underdogs or pickems after covering the spread in three out of their last four games, in the last two weeks of the regular season. This situation is 38-14 ATS (73.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (453) Buffalo Bills |

12-21-19 | VCU +5.5 v. Wichita State | Top | 63-73 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the VCU RAMS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. VCU is off to a 9-2 start with the two losses coming against Purdue and Tennessee by three points. What makes this game value wise for the Rams is that they have dropped their last six games against the number including those aforementioned games by just one point each and they have been favored in all of the other games. Wichita St. has won and covered three straight games including a pair of impressive wins against Oklahoma and Oklahoma St. and that is also playing into this line. While they are 9-1, the Shockers have played the No. 248 ranked schedule which includes those two previous wins mentioned. VCU rolled in this meeting last season and seven of the top eight scorers are back so it again has the edge on the floor and yet is getting a great number. 10* (601) VCU Rams |

12-20-19 | Penguins v. Oilers +108 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the EDMONTON OILERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. The Oilers have lost five of their past six games, including a 2-1 defeat at St. Louis on Wednesday against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Edmonton has lost three straight games at home during this stretch where it is 8-6-3 overall. The Oilers remain in third place in the Pacific Division with 42 points. Going back, the Oilers are 12-2 in their last 14games against Metropolitan Division opponents. Pittsburgh is coming off a win at Calgary on Tuesday to make it three straight victories. Still, the Penguins are just 6-6-2 on the road and the name is playing a lot in this line and why they are the favorites. The Penguins are 2-6 in their last eight games as a road favorite. Here, we play against road favorites against the money line that are revenging a loss versus opponent as a favorite, off a road win by three goals or more. This situation is 20-7 (74.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (56) Edmonton Oilers |

12-20-19 | Kent State v. Utah State -6.5 | Top | 51-41 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH ST. AGGIES for our CFB Friday Frisco Bowl Winner. Kent St. snuck into the postseason with a 6-6 record thanks to winning its final three games of the regular season. The Golden Flashes lost the yardage battle in two of those games and on the season, they were outgained in all seven games against current bowl teams and by an average of 192 ypg. Utah St. had a below average season by its standards as it went 7-5 and four of those five losses came by at least 24 points. Of course, those were all against teams much better than Kent St. and three of those are currently ranked. One of the big reasons for the pedestrian season was the average play of quarterback Jordan Love who crushed it last season with 28 touchdowns and five interceptions compared to a 17:16 split this season. He is pegged as a high draft NFL quarterback and this is his showcase. For the Aggies, beating the Golden Flashes would represent ending 2019 on a high note after missing their goal of winning a Mountain West Conference championship. Here, we play on teams after being beaten by the spread by 49 or more points total in their last five games, in December games. This situation is 44-17 ATS (72.1 percent) since 1992. 10* (204) Utah St. Aggies |

12-20-19 | Grizzlies -1 v. Cavs | Top | 107-114 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Memphis had reason to celebrate with four wins in five games before letting a 24-point lead in the third quarter go by the boards in a 126-122 loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. The Grizzlies had a two-game winning streak snapped with that loss and also put a halt to a 4-1 run, its best stretch of the season. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a losing home record. The Cavaliers are coming off a win at home against Charlotte by a bucket but it was a game that never should have been that close as they never trailed and at one point had a 24-point lead. That was just the fourth home win of the season The Cleveland offense is putrid as it is ranked No. 25 or worse in scoring, shooting and three-point shooting. The Cavaliers are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 games overall. Here, we play against home underdogs outscored by their opponents by nine or more ppg going up against an opponent after allowing 100 points or more five straight games. This situation is 54-24 ATS (69.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (541) Memphis Grizzlies |

12-20-19 | SMU v. Georgia -4.5 | Top | 85-87 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGIA BULLDOGS for our CBB Friday Supreme Annihilator. We played against Georgia last Saturday as it got hammered at Arizona St. A big reason for that was because of the scheduling as Georgia had won two straight games but those came against Chaminade and North Carolina Central in Hawaii and then it traveled to Arizona St. for its first true road game of the season. The Bulldogs are back home where they are 5-0 and their six wins overall are already more than half of what they had all of last season. It has been an overhaul for head coach Tom Cream, now in his second year, but he has the best player on the floor in guard Anthony Edwards who is the highest rated recruit ever to come to Georgia. The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. SMU is also coming off a loss, its first of the season, as it fell at home against Georgetown by 17 points. This will be the biggest test to date for the Mustangs which are picked to finish just sixth in the AAC following a 15-win season last year. The Mustangs are 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (844) Georgia Bulldogs |

12-19-19 | Lakers v. Bucks -4 | Top | 104-111 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. Any information on Anthony Davis has not been released as of Thursday late morning as he might be sitting his second straight game. Both Los Angeles and Milwaukee will be out to bounce back from big winning streaks. The Lakers will conclude a five-game road swing that saw their 14-game winning streak away from home end Tuesday in a 105-102 loss to the Pacers. Meanwhile, the Bucks had their 18-game winning streak snapped when they were stopped by the Mavericks 120-116 on Monday. Milwaukee is 13-2 at home and the only other home loss came way back on October 26 in an overtime loss against Miami. The Bucks have lost consecutive games in the regular season just once since Mike Budenholzer took over as head coach entering the 2018-19 season, going 24-1 over that span. The Lakers have a top-five offense but they aren't nearly as potent from three-point range as they're more about interior offense. That actually fits the Bucks' strengths defensively. The Bucks allow 12.9 field goals made per game inside the restricted area and only 54.5 percent in that zone, both league-wide lows. Here, we play on favorites with a winning percentage of .750 or better off an upset loss as a favorite of 10 points or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 32-9 ATS (78 percent) since 1996. 10* (534) Milwaukee Bucks |

12-19-19 | Predators v. Senators +131 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 131 | 5 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the OTTAWA SENATORS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. It has been a down year for Nashville as it is tied for fifth place in the Central Division with 37 points. The Predators have won their first two games of this four-game roadtrip by a combined score of 13-5 but they are in a tough spot here. They are 7-6-1 on the road and the Predators are 1-4 in their last five games as a road favorite while going 3-7 in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. Ottawa meanwhile has lost two straight games to fall to 14-18-3 but it has been a brutal schedule of late. Eight of the Senators last 10 games have been on the road and going back further, 14 of their last 19 games have been on the highway. Dating back to October 27, Ottawa is 7-1 in its eight home games and for the season, its 14 home games are fewest in the Eastern Conference. Here, we play against road teams against the money line that are outscoring opponents by 0.2 or more gpg in third period, after two straight blowout wins by three goals or more. This situation is 49-27 (64.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (38) Ottawa Senators |

12-19-19 | Coastal Carolina -3.5 v. Troy State | Top | 59-77 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Coastal Carolina has won four straight games, covering the last three, as it heads into Sun Belt Conference action looking to get off to a great start. The Chanticleers are contenders this season after a .500 finish last year, both overall and in the conference. Of the four losses on the season, two came against Mississippi St. and Baylor while the other two came against a single point. The Chanticleers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Troy is coming off an overtime loss at Chattanooga which snapped a three-game winning streak and the Trojans are now on a 4-0 ATS roll. They are currently ranked as the worst team in the Sun Belt despite playing the third easiest schedule as two of their four wins have come against non-Division I teams. Here, we play against home teams as an underdog or pickem averaging 62 or more shots per game going up against an opponent after a game where they made 55 percent of their shots or better. This situation is 42-15 ATS (73.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (713) Coastal Carolina Chanticleers |

12-18-19 | Celtics -2 v. Mavs | Top | 109-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Star Attraction. Dallas is coming off a monumental win at Milwaukee on Monday as it defeated the Bucks as a 14.5-point underdog while playing without Luka Doncic which snapped the Bucks 18-game winning streak. This presents a significant letdown for the Mavericks which are a pedestrian 8-6 at home compared to 10-2 on the road. Dallas has been a home underdog only once this season which resulted in a 15-point loss to the Clippers. The Celtics are looking to bounce back after defeats to the Pacers and Sixers on consecutive nights last week. Boston has had five full days off to correct the slide after playing last Thursday. The time off is significant as their five primary player Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart, Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have taken the floor together just five times this season but all are finally healthy. The Celtics are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are outscoring their opponents by six or more ppg, after allowing 105 points or more in three straight games. This situation is 30-5 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1996 including going 21-1 ATS over the last three seasons. 10* (525) Boston Celtics |

12-18-19 | East Tennessee State +10 v. LSU | Top | 74-63 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the EAST TENNESSEE ST. BUCCANEERS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Based on name recognition, this is a mismatch especially with what LSU accomplished last season. And that is being factored into this line. The Tigers went 28-7 last season including a 16-2 record in the SEC and they managed to make a run into the Sweet 16 before eventually getting crushed by Michigan St. They are off to a 7-2 start including a 6-0 record at home but that includes so quality wins. A game against East Tennessee St. seems like it should be a layup but that is far from the case. The Buccaneers are 9-2 following a 24-10 record last season and this is arguably the best team head coach Steve Forbes has had in his five years at the school. They bring back all five starters and East Tennessee St. has two of the best players in the Southern Conference in Jeromy Rodriguez and Bo Hodges, the former being tabbed as the preseason Player of the Year. The Buccaneers have been underdogs only once this season and that was at Kansas, a game in which they held their own and covered. 10* (657) East Tennessee St. Buccaneers |

12-17-19 | Magic v. Jazz -6.5 | Top | 102-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Utah has won two straight games following its win over Golden St. on Friday so it has had a solid layoff to rest and get a key component back. The Jazz are hoping to have point back Mike Conley back on Tuesday as he has missed the past five games with a hamstring injury. Conley participated in Sunday's practice and he indicated he can feel the improvement. They improved to 10-3 at home and the Jazz are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss. Orlando broke a three-game slide and achieved a season-high point total as the Magic rolled to a 130-119 road win over the Pelicans on Sunday. Orlando is 4-8 on the road and those four wins have come against Cleveland twice (6-21) Washington (8-17) and New Orleans (6-21) so it has beaten no one of note away from home and it has won only once in eight games as a road underdog. The Magic are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after two straight games allowing 50 percent shooting or higher going up against an opponent after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 72-33 ATS (68.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (510) Utah Jazz |

12-17-19 | Oklahoma v. Creighton -3 | Top | 73-83 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Tuesday Star Attraction. Creighton is 8-2 this season, including an 83-76 overtime win vs. No. 12 Texas Tech in Las Vegas on Nov. 29 and a 95-76 romp over Nebraska on Dec. 7. The Bluejays are 7-0 at home this year, with each victory coming by nine points or more. This team is playing exceptionally well right now evidenced by its fast starts. Creighton has played four straight games with a halftime lead of 14+ points for the first time since Nov. 22-Dec. 6, 2003. That ties into a recent trend as Creighton is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half. Oklahoma is off to a 7-2 start but it coming off a loss to Wichita St. on Saturday and has now failed to cover five of its last six games. The Sooners are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games after allowing 80 points or more. This is a revenge game for the Bluejays as they lost at Oklahoma last season by 13 points nearly a year ago to the day. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after leading their last three games by five points or more at the half going up against an opponent after scoring 75 points or more three straight games. This situation is 74-38 ATS (66.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (612) Creighton Bluejays |

12-17-19 | Ducks v. Flyers -130 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA FLYERS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. The Flyers were throttled 7-3 by the Jets on Sunday to conclude a road trip in which they were outscored by a 14-5 margin. The Flyers' top line of captain Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and Jake Voracek managed just one of the five goals on the three-game road trip. A return home should help matters as Philadelphia is 10-2-4 at the Wells Fargo Center including wins in four of its last five games. The Flyers are 19-8 in their last 27 games as a favorite. The Ducks are coming off a hard-fought 4-3 shootout victory against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Anaheim trailed 2-0 early in the first period before rallying for the win. The Ducks are much better at home than on the road as well as they bring in a 5-8-2 record on the highway. Anaheim is 2-9 against the money line after playing two consecutive home games this season while going 0-4 in its last four games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play against underdogs against the money line after a home game where both teams scored three or more goals going up against an opponent off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 30-6 (83.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (2) Philadelphia Flyers |

12-16-19 | Colts +10 v. Saints | Top | 7-34 | Loss | -122 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. The money and the public is on the Saints here which comes as no surprise and that has driven this line up to double-digits in some places. The Saints are coming off a tough loss against the 49ers last Sunday but have still clinched the division but they can win out and still get the third seed if they don't receive some extra help. The New Orleans defense has regressed and that is not ideal when laying a number this big as the Saints enter this game ranked 13th in total defense, surrendering 338 ypg and 17th in points allowed at 22.8 ppg. New Orleans is 7-17 ATS in its last 24 home games as favorites coming off a home loss including 0-7 ATS when laying more than a touchdown. Indianapolis needs to win out and get some help for the postseason as it is a game and a half out of the final Wild Card spot in the AFC. The Colts are 2-4 on the road but three of those losses came by a combined eight points and the other came in overtime. Indianapolis is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games against NFC teams .500 or better. Here, we play on road underdogs or pickems off a road loss by three points or less, in the last four weeks of the regular season. This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) since 1983. 10* (333) Indianapolis Colts |

12-16-19 | Heat -4.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 111-118 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Heat faced a Dallas team that lost MVP candidate Luka Doncic to an ankle injury in the first quarter, but Miami was without Justise Winslow and Goran Dragic. Miami went on to win that game in overtime on Saturday which was its seventh win in nine games, the two losses coming against the Lakers and Celtics which have a combined 10 losses and on the season, it has just one loss against a losing team. Miami is 13-1 ATS against Southwest division opponents over the last two seasons while going 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Memphis has been playing better of late as it has won three of its last four games but none of those wins were against winning teams. The Grizzlies have won just three of 13 games as home underdogs and their four home wins are tied for third fewest in the NBA. Grizzlies are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are getting outscored by their opponents by six or more ppg going up against an opponent after allowing 105 points or more four straight games. This situation is 49-18 ATS (73.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (583) Miami Heat |

12-16-19 | Predators -125 v. Rangers | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
This is a play on the NASHVILLE PREDATORS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. After a fairly successful roadtrip, the Rangers return home Monday night to face the Predators, who are coming off one of their worst showings of the season. New York went 2-1-1 to gain five points to move within three points of Philadelphia for the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers are 1-5 in their last six home games following a road trip of seven or more days. The Predators head to New York coming off a 4-1 loss to the Stars on Saturday that saw them get booed off the ice by their home crowd. Nashville allowed all four goals in a span of 11:23, including a short-handed goal on a breakaway, and lost its second straight game despite outshooting Dallas by a wide 38-22 margin. Nashville is in sixth place in the Central Division, just one point ahead of last place Chicago, after running away with the division last season. The Predators are 9-2 in their last 11 games following a home loss of three or more goals. Here, we play on road favorites of -200 or less against the money line off a home loss by two goals or more when playing their 3rd game in five days. This situation is 58-23 (71.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (67) Nashville Predators |

12-16-19 | Marshall +2 v. Morehead State | Top | 89-62 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Marshall is coming off a 23-win season which was culminated by winning the College Insider Tournament. This despite of lack of size and depth but the Thundering Hers are stronger in those categories this season. They found its way back into the winning column, picking up its third win of the season following a three-game losing streak. Marshall is now 3-6 overall in non-conference play. Marshall is ranked second in the CUSA with an average of 76.6 possessions per game. The uptempo Thundering Herd have raised that total to 78 possessions per game over their last five games. Marshall sits in first in the Division I in blocks per game with 7.7. The Thundering Herd sit second in Conference USA and 34th in the country in steals per game with 9.2. While just 0-3 on the road, those losses came against Toledo, picked to win the MAC West, Notre Dame and Florida. Morehead St. has lost five of its last six games and while the Eagles are undefeated at home, they have played nobody. The Eagles are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as a home favorite. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams averaging 20 or more three-pointers per game after three straight game shooting 40 percent or less. This situation is 37-14 ATS (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (821) Marshall Thundering Herd |

12-15-19 | Wild v. Blackhawks -106 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. Both Minnesota and Chicago are coming off games on Saturday and while the Wild go from home to the road, the Blackhawks return home following a road game last night. The Blackhawks could use some positive momentum, especially after blowing a three-goal lead at St. Louis in a 4-3 defeat Saturday, their fourth in a row. Three of those have come on the road with the one home loss coming in a shootout against Arizona. The Blackhawks are 5-1 in their last six games playing with no rest. The Wild extended their home point streak to 12 games (9-0-3) with a 4-1 victory against Philadelphia on Saturday. The problem is, they have struggled on the road with a 7-11-2 record with both sides struggling. Minnesota is averaging 2.60 gpg on offense while allowing 3.55 gpg. The Wild are 1-6 in their last seven games playing with no rest. Here, we play against road teams against the money line off a home win scoring four or more goals going up against an opponent off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 55-29 (65.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (62) Chicago Blackhawks |

12-15-19 | 76ers v. Nets +5.5 | Top | 89-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Brooklyn is coming off a loss against Toronto on Saturday which was its second straight loss, the first time it has lost consecutive games for the first time in the absence of Kyrie Irving. The Nets are 9-5 without Irving and have used the same starting lineup of Spencer Dinwiddie, Garrett Temple, Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince and Joe Harris in each game with Irving out. Brooklyn had covered five straight prior to this and it will be out for some payback as this is the first meeting since the Sixers ousted them from the playoffs last season. The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a home underdog. Philadelphia has won five straight games with only one of those coming on the road however. Additionally, four of Philadelphia's wins during its streak were by single digits so it has not exactly been dominating. The Sixers are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games as a road favorite. Here, we play against road favorites when playing their 3rd game in four days, in December games. This situation is 58-29 ATS (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (570) Brooklyn Nets |

12-15-19 | Georgia Southern v. Bradley -5 | Top | 51-81 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the BRADLEY BRAVES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Both Georgia Southern and Bradley come in riding modest two-game winning streaks and we give the edge to the home team. The Braves are a perfect 7-0 at home this season which includes a very impressive win over Kansas St. and they are outscoring opponents by over 20 ppg. Bradley's Darrell Brown, Nate Kennell and Koch Bar have combined to score 43 percent of the team's points this season, including 37 percent of all Braves scoring over the last five games. Bradley has an assist on 55 of 89 field goals (61.8 percent) across its past three outings while Georgia Southern has assists on 33 of 82 field goals (40.2 percent) during its past three games. The Eagles are coming off a win over Carver Bible College and they hit the road where they are 1-2 on the season. They play at a fast pace but they have one of the worst defenses in the country and that is a problem against the potent Braves offense. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by eight or more ppg, after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half. This situation is 34-7 ATS (82.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (800) Bradley Braves |

12-15-19 | Rams v. Cowboys | Top | 21-44 | Win | 100 | 147 h 33 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS COWBOYS for our NFL Game of the Year. The advanced line for this game was Dallas -3.5 which was released on Tuesday but after the Dallas loss on Thursday, the number came down to -3 and then after the Rams blowout winner over Seattle on Sunday night, the line came down once again and this is the time to buy. The Cowboys have lost three straight games to fall to 6-7 and this is a must win game with their following contest taking place at Philadelphia which will most likely decide the NFC East. In the loss against the Bears, Dallas still won the yardage battle for the ninth straight game. Dallas is 19-8 ATS in its last 27 home games after having lost three out of their last four games. The Rams are coming off the impressive win over Seattle to remain in the Wild Card hunt. They are one game behind the Vikings for the second Wild Card spot and the Rams are going to have to get some help from the Vikings. While the offense has looked good the last two games, quarterback Jared Goff is having a mediocre season, posting 3712 passing yards with a 15:14 TD to INT ratio. The Rams are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog. The game will be a rematch of the NFC Divisional round matchup from last season, when Dallas traveled to Los Angeles and got their pride handed to them. Head coach Sean McVay used a combination of Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson to rush for over 250 yards on the Dallas defense and the Cowboys were outgained 459-308 making revenge a big factor. Here, we play on home favorites after having lost four or five out of their last six games, with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 on the season. This situation is 24-6 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (330) Dallas Cowboys |

12-15-19 | Jaguars v. Raiders -6.5 | Top | 20-16 | Loss | -106 | 46 h 14 m | Show |
This is a play on the OAKLAND RAIDERS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. After three straight losses, the Raiders are nearly eliminated from playoff contention so one could argue there is little motivation on the Oakland sideline. That could be the furthest from the truth. This is the final game being played in Oakland as it will be calling Las Vegas home starting next season so there will be plenty of motivation to pull out one final victory for the home crowd. It was a rough second half last week for the Raiders but they are in a great bounce back spot here facing a team that has mailed it in. The Raiders are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Jacksonville has lost five straight games and none have been close as those losses have all come by at least 17 points and by an average of 23.4 ppg. The Jaguars are officially out of the playoff mix and are ready for the season to end. The Jaguars are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in 4 out of their last 5 games, after the first month of the season. This situation is 105-67 ATS (61 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (324) Oakland Raiders |

12-14-19 | Heat v. Mavs -8 | Top | 122-118 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We won with Miami last night as it covered against the Lakers in a highly anticipated game so this calls for a Saturday letdown. The Heat took an eight-point lead into the break but Los Angeles had a big third quarter and they could not recover in the three-point loss. They have fallen into third place in the Eastern Conference after suffering their first home loss of the season. Miami is 0-4 when playing with no rest this season, covering none of those games. Dallas, which has won 17 of its first 24 games for its best start to a season since 2014-15, is coming off a win over Detroit n Thursday in a game that took place in Mexico City. The Mavericks are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against underdogs off a cover where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 65-19 ATS (77.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (558) Dallas Mavericks |

12-14-19 | Utah State -1 v. BYU | Top | 64-68 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH ST. AGGIES as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Utah St. and BYU square off in the second game of the Beehive Classic and the Aggies are in excellent shape to break a seven-game losing streak in this series. Utah St. has just one loss this season, an eight-point loss at St. Marys which is nothing to shrug about. The Aggies have been pegged to win the MWC after going 28-7 last season and have four starters back including All-MWC Preseason Player of the Year Sam Merrill who missed the last game but will be back tonight. BYU is an improved and in their last two contests, the Cougars have rolled over MWC teams. They blasted UNLV a week ago, 83-50, and then thumped Nevada, 75-42, earlier this week. The Aggies have held opponents to 37.8 percent shooting for the season and 60.3 ppg. Defense will be key against BYU, who is shooting 48.6 percent from the floor and averaging 77.5 ppg. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem, averaging 76 ppg going up against teams averaging between 74 and 76 ppg, after scoring 75 points or more two straight games. This situation is 208-134 ATS (60.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (767) Utah St. Aggies |

12-14-19 | Maple Leafs v. Oilers +119 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the EDMONTON OILERS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Edmonton has lost three straight games including a tough 6-5 loss at Minnesota on Thursday where it rallied from a 4-2 deficit only to allow a pair of goals in just over a minute in the third period. This is the first three-game losing streak of the season as the Oilers have gone from atop the Pacific Division to just four points above the playoff line in the Western Conference. The Oilers are 6-1 in their last seven games after allowing five goals or more in their previous game. The Maple Leafs are 2-1 on their four-game trip that concludes Saturday. After wins in St. Louis and Vancouver, they suffered a 4-2 defeat Thursday in Calgary. Toronto is 3-4 over its last seven games yet comes in as a road favorite against a team that has six more points than they do and the 10 regulation road losses for the Maple Leafs are tied for fifth most in the league. The Maple Leafs are 5-13 in their last 18 games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play on home teams averaging three or more gpg, after allowing five goals or more two straight games. This situation is 40-20 (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (44) Edmonton Oilers |

12-14-19 | Army +10.5 v. Navy | Top | 7-31 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 23 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS for our CFB Saturday Army/Navy Enforcer. It has been a tough season for Army that came in with high expectations following an 11-2 season a year ago. The Black Knights opened 3-1 with the lone loss coming at Michigan in overtime. It has been a 2-6 finish but five of those losses came by single digits. Army has won the last three games in the series. Although the Black Knights (5-7) are having an off-year compared with Navy (9-2), a victory for the Midshipmen is certainly not guaranteed. Another win over Navy on Saturday would give the Black Knights their first four-game winning streak in the rivalry since 1993 to 1996. Navy turned things around after going 3-10 last season as it is 9-2 with the tow losses coming against Memphis and Notre Dame. Army has outgained four of its last five opponents so it is playing better than the record shows which makes the points being a premium. Seven of the nine Army-Navy Games in this decade have been decided by a touchdown or less. The only two to get out of hand in Navy's favor came before Army hired Jeff Monken. Here, we play on neutral field underdogs that are outrushing their opponents by 100 or more ypg on the season, after gaining 225 or more rushing yards in three straight games. This situation is 29-6 ATS (82.9 percent) since 1992 including a perfect 15-0 ATS over the last five seasons. 10* (303) Army Black Knights |

12-13-19 | Colorado -5 v. Colorado State | Top | 56-48 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO BUFFALOES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Colorado came into the week ranked in the AP Top 25 but that will be long gone following a pair of losses against Kansas and Northern Iowa. The Buffaloes have failed to cover in any of their last six games but there will be plenty of motivation here against their rival and they do not play again for six days when they face Prairie View. The disruptive Colorado defense has forced opponents to turn the ball over on 25.4 percent of all possessions, the 23rd-best rate in the nation. Colorado St. has a forced-turnover percentage of only 17.6 percent through 12 games which is 301st in the country. Colorado St. is coming off a narrow win over South Dakota St. but momentum is not on its side. The two losses that came before that victory came in early MWC play, a 79-57 blowout defeat at home to San Diego St. followed by a 75-64 setback at Boise St. Opponents have found too many open shots along the way with the Rams 246th in the country allowing opponents to convert nearly 45 percent from the field. Colorado has been pegged to win the Pac 12 while the Rams are expected to finish toward the bottom of the MWC so the talent differential here is pretty big. 10* (675) Colorado Buffaloes |

12-13-19 | Lakers v. Heat +6 | Top | 113-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Friday Star Attraction. The Lakers have won and covered five straight games while winning 15 of their last 16 to remain 3.5 games in front of the Clippers in the Western Conference. At 22-3, they are tied with the Bucks for the best record in the NBA and now the linesmakers are being forced to overprice Los Angeles. In its last game at Orlando, the line closed at 8.5 and the Heat are more than three points better than the Magic. Miami is having its own special season as it sits at 18-6 and is in second place in the Eastern Conference. This was not expected but the addition of Jimmy Butler and the emergence of rookie Kendrick Nunn has made the Heat an unexpected force. They are riding a three-game winning streak and while the last two have come in overtime, the last game played was on Tuesday so there has been plenty of time for rest. Miami is one of just two undefeated teams at home and going back, the Heat are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as home underdogs. Here, we play against road teams after three consecutive covers as a favorite, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 44-15 ATS (74.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Miami Heat |

12-12-19 | 76ers v. Celtics +1.5 | Top | 115-109 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. We played against Boston last night and had its four-game winning streak snapped in a 122-117 loss to the Pacers but the Celtics return home in a great bounce back spot. Boston is one of three NBA teams still undefeated at home, a list that includes the 76ers (13-0), who are 5-7 on the road, however. The Celtics are 10-0 here and going into tonight, both teams have 17 wins while the Celtics are ahead by 2 in the loss column. The 76ers were expected to be a top defensive team, and they are. However, the Celtics are tied with them in Defensive Rating at 103, good for 3rd in the league. What separates these teams at the moment is on the offensive side. The Celtics are ranked 7th while the Sixers (who struggle with spacing) are only 13th. While the 76ers enter having won three straight and seven of eight, Boston has revenge on its side as well. Boston got thumped in the first meeting, losing by 14 points in the season opener. The total margin of defeat in the other five losses the Celtics have taken is 18 points, making the Philadelphia loss far and away their most lopsided of the season. Here, we play against road underdogs after beating the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 103-55 ATS (65.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (524) Boston Celtics |

12-12-19 | Golden Knights v. Blues -113 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BLUES as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. St. Louis has lost three straight games and while the Blues do have two other losing skids of three or more, they still earned points for going into overtime during those runs. This is the first time the Blues have suffered three consecutive regulation losses. After playing six of its last eight games on the road, St. Louis begins a four-game homestand where it is 8-4-3 on the season. The Blues are 10-4 in their last 14 games against teams with a losing record. Vegas snapped a two-game slide with a 5-1 win over Chicago on Tuesday. The Golden Knights have earned points in six of their last seven games (5-1-1) but only once as an underdog. The Golden Knights are 5-21 in their last 26 games as an underdog. Here, we play on teams against the money line after allowing five goals or more going up against an opponent after a blowout win by four goals or more. This situation is 95-57 (62.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (14) St. Louis Blues |

12-12-19 | Iowa v. Iowa State -4 | Top | 84-68 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the IOWA ST. CYCLONES for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Iowa St. is coming off a win on Sunday over Seton Hal which avenged a loss to the Pirates 10 days prior in the Bahamas and now the Cyclones will be out for revenge against their hated rival. The home team has won four straight in this series including an Iowa win by 14 points last season in a game that Iowa St. was actually favored in on the road. Iowa St. is 5-0 at Hilton Coliseum this season and puts its 12-game non-conference home winning streak on the line Thursday. Taking care of the ball has been the key to success for the Cyclones as they have had fewer turnovers than their opponent in all nine games this season and the starting guard trio of Tyrese Haliburton, Rasir Bolton and Prentiss Nixon own a 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Overall, the Cyclones rank 18th nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio, ninth in turnover margin and 21st in turnovers per game. Iowa comes in at just 1-2 on the road and going back, the Hawkeyes are just 5-18 ATS in their last 23 road games. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg, after two straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 87-47 ATS (64.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (664) Iowa St. Cyclones |

12-11-19 | Boise State v. Tulsa -2.5 | Top | 56-69 | Win | 100 | 13 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Tulsa is coming off a bad loss on Saturday as it lost at home against Arkansas St. as a 12.5-point favorite. It was their first non-conference loss in 19 games for the Golden Hurricane which had won six straight games prior to that. It was a bad luck game as Tulsa shot 51.1 percent from the floor but the difference was from the free throw line as Arkansas St. went 14-17 while Tulsa was just 8-11 from the charity stripe. Tulsa was 18-14 last season and while just two starters came back, Martins Igbanu is a potential All-AAC player and the addition of transfer Brandon Rachal has been huge as he is averaging 15.9 ppg and 7.1 rpg while shooting 59 percent from the floor. Boise St. comes into this game following a 75-64 win at home against Colorado St. which was the Broncos first in Mountain West Conference victory this season after losing its opener at New Mexico. The Broncos have covered five straight games which is a big reason they are getting two-thirds of the action here yet the line has actually stayed firm. Last season, Tulsa was one of just seven Division I programs without a scholarship freshmen on its roster but this season, the 14-man roster has a combined 18 years of Division I playing experience which will pay dividends in a bounce back spot. 10* (642) Tulsa Golden Hurricane |

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Boston has won four straight games but the last three have come at home where it is a perfect 10-0 on the season. The Celtics are just 7-5 on the road which is good for a lot of teams but the home/road dichotomy is important here. They are just 2-4 over their last six road games with one of those wins coming against the 4-20 Knicks. After suffering a deflating loss at home by the hands of the Clippers on Monday, the Pacers are now in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a 15-9 record. However, the return of a healthy Malcolm Brogdon is a glaring positive as he is averaging a career high 19.1 ppg. The Pacers are 3-0 ATS as underdogs of fewer than five points and going back, they are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games following a double-digit loss at home. Here, we play against road teams after three consecutive covers as a favorite, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 43-15 ATS (74.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (502) Indiana Pacers |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. We lost with Portland on Sunday as it shot just 36 percent from the field, including 9-33 from three-point range, in a game in which it was outhustled by the Thunder. Forward Carmelo Anthony shot 4 of 18 while scoring nine points, guard Kent Bazemore was 3 of 11 while also scoring nine points and shooting guard CJ McCollum made 8 of 21 shots while tallying 20 points. The Blazers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Knicks put up a solid effort in the first game with interim head coach Mike Miller as they lost by just a point against Indiana on Saturday. New York has lost seven games by 20 or more points and hasn't notched a victory since defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers on Nov. 18, losing nine straight games since then. New York is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 games off two or more consecutive home losses. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after allowing 100 points or more in three straight games going up against an opponent after trailing their last three games by five or more points at the half. This situation is 25-4 ATS (86.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (580) Portland Trail Blazers |

12-10-19 | Indiana -1.5 v. Connecticut | Top | 57-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Indiana and Connecticut square off in the second game of the Jimmy V Classic from MSG and this is an important game for both side. Both have been out of the national conversation over the past few years, with neither team making the NCAA Tournament since 2016, but this game will hold a lot of weight as both programs are looking to have rejuvenating seasons. Indiana opened the season 8-0 but is coming off an uninspiring effort against Wisconsin on Saturday in its Big Ten opener as it lost by 20 points. That was the Hoosiers first venture away from home which puts them in a good spot tonight to bounce back. Connecticut has won three straight games to improve to 6-2 on the season. The Huskies are not a very good shooting team, especially from two-point range where they are shooting just 45 percent which is No. 283 in the country. Connecticut makes up for it with strong rebounding but Indiana holds a 10.4 rebounding advantage over its opponents. Additionally, Indiana leads the country in free throws made per game (20.9) and free throws attempted per game (29.7). Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem that are averaging 76 or more ppg after two or more consecutive overs, going up against teams averaging between 74 and 76 ppg. This situation is 55-24 ATS (69.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (629) Indiana Hoosiers |

12-10-19 | Lightning -108 v. Panthers | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Tampa Bay is coming off a loss last night as it fell at home to the Islanders 5-1 and it has now dropped five of its last seven games. Hitting the road may not be the worst thing as the Lightning have dropped four of their last five games at home. Lightning backup goalie Curtis McElhinney took the loss on Monday, and his record fell to 3-3-2. It is likely the Lightning's starting goalie Tuesday will be Andre Vasilevskiy, who led the NHL with 39 wins last season. Tampa Bay is 9-1 in its last 10 games following a home loss of three or more goals while going 47-17 in its last 64 games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Florida has won two straight games to move into second place in the Atlantic Division but it still trails Boston by 11 points. The Panthers are 9-19 in their last 28 games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play on road teams when the money line is -100 to -150 after allowing five goals or more going up against an opponent after a win by two goals or more. This situation is 51-19 ATS (72.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (43) Tampa Bay Lightning |

12-09-19 | Giants +9.5 v. Eagles | Top | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK GIANTS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. The Giants have lost eight in a row but could spoil Philadelphia's playoff hopes with a victory. Eli Manning is expected to make his first start since Week 2 because rookie Daniel Jones has a high ankle sprain. Manning struggled in his first two starts but there was a lot of pressure on him to keep his job and now with that pressure being lifted, he should be able to go out and just play. The Giants are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. Despite their poor record, the Eagles would win the NFC East by winning their last four games. But when you lose 7 of 12, three in a row, and at the woeful Dolphins, nothing is guaranteed. The Eagles have not shown the ability to put a team away aside from their life-draining drive against the Bears in Week Nine, their win over the Bills in Week Eight and the rout of the Jets in Week Five. The Eagles are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points after allowing 30 points or more last game going up against an opponent after scoring 14 points or less in two straight games. This situation is 49-20 ATS (71 percent) since 1983. 10* (159) New York Giants |

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Iowa looks to bounce back from its first conference loss of the season as it fell at No. 4 Michigan on Friday 103-91. The Hawkeyes are now 6-3 on the season and their three defeats have come to teams with a combined 26-1 record (DePaul, San Diego St., Michigan). Iowa will be playing its first home game since Nov. 24 versus Cal Poly. Minnesota is playing first game in a week after it defeated Clemson 78-60 at home in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. This is the first conference game of the season for the Gophers and they are making their first road trip since Nov. 15 at Utah. Minnesota is making its living behind the three-point arc. Its 9.6 made threes per game ranks 29th nationally and first in the Big Ten but it is shooting just 35.4 percent on 218 attempts, which ranks 101st in the country. Minnesota is 0-2 on the road and going back, Iowa holds a 57-41 advantage in games played in Iowa City and a 21-10 advantage at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa has won 12 of the last 17 meetings in Iowa City, including five of the last six. The Hawkeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss while the Gophers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win. 10* (824) Iowa Hawkeyes |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Portland is coming off its first home loss since signing Carmelo Anthony but he cannot be to blame as the Lakers once again rolled from start to finish in their 23-point victory. The Blazers were on a 4-1 run prior to that and they are still an underachieving five games under .500 for the season. This includes a 4-5 record at home which leads to the short price tonight. the Blazers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Oklahoma City is coming off an improbable win on Friday as it forced overtime on a hail mary layup to close regulation. Oklahoma City improved to 7-5 at home but hits the highway at just 2-7. The Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. The Blazers are 2-0 against the Thunder this season. Portland won 102-99 in Oklahoma City on Oct. 30 and prevailed 136-119 at home on Nov. 27. 10* (552) Portland Trail Blazers |

12-08-19 | Buffalo +9 v. DePaul | Top | 74-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO BULLS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We won with DePaul on Wednesday as it defeated Texas Tech and a big reason for the play was the line was off based on the prior season results for the Red Raiders. That is continuing here as the Blue Demons win was a quality one, but not one that should affect their lines going forward but that is the case here. DePaul is 9-0 and a team on the rise based on their big recruiting class but this is not a good spot for them coming off their biggest win of the season. Buffalo was the power team in the MAC last season with a 16-2 record and the Bulls won 59 games over the previous two seasons. While there is some expected dropoff, there is not enough to warrant a line of this sort. In two road games this season against major opposition, the Bulls were getting three and Connecticut and four at Vanderbilt and now they are suddenly getting nine at DePaul. Here, we play on road teams as an underdog or pickem after allowing 90 points or more going up against an opponent after two straight wins by six points or less. This situation is 98-55 ATS (64.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (797) Buffalo Bulls |

12-08-19 | Ravens v. Bills +6.5 | Top | 24-17 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO BILLS for our NFL Game of the Week. We bet against Baltimore again last week as it finally paid off as the Ravens snuck by a quality opponent. While some may not think it, Buffalo is another quality opponent as its 9-3 record indicates. The line is inflated once again as the book want to avoid liability after getting crushed for five straight games. The San Francisco defense did a great job on the Ravens offense, holding them to a season low 20 points. The Bills defense is built similarly to the 49ers and it is a legit unit. On the other side, Josh Allen has been sensational since the Patriots game with just the one hiccup against Cleveland. Buffalo gained the early action causing the line to go from -6 to -5 on Sunday. When Monday hit, the action switched and the Ravens were getting hit hard moving the line to 5.5 and the action has remained on the Baltimore side yet the line has increased to -6 as of Friday night. Here, we plat on home teams off an upset win as an underdog, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages of .750 or better. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (132) Buffalo Bills |

12-08-19 | Colts +3.5 v. Bucs | Top | 35-38 | Win | 100 | 42 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. The Colts burned us last week as they were ready to take the lead against Tennessee but had their field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown and then another turned sealed the game. The Colts outgained the Titans by 99 total yards and have won the yardage battle in five of their last six games despite going 2-4. The Colts are in must win mode and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. The Buccaneers are on a two-game winning streak but are just 1-3 at home with the lone won coming by a field goal against Arizona. They were favored by 5.5 points in that game and are now 0-4 ATS at home not including the London game where they were the designated home team and lost by 11 points. At 5-7, Tampa Bay is out of the playoff mix yet is favored again. Here, we play against home favorites after having won two out of their last three games, with a winning percentage of between .400 and .499 in the second half of the season. This situation is 28-8 ATS (77.8 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (147) Indianapolis Colts |

12-07-19 | Arkansas v. Western Kentucky +1.5 | Top | 79-86 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. After opening the season with five straight blowout wins and covers, it has been a rough stretch for Arkansas. It has won its last three games but it has not been pretty as the Razorbacks defeated a below average Georgia Tech team by one point in overtime and then escaped Northern Kentucky and Austin Peay by six and eight points respectively as 15-point favorites in each. Now comes the biggest road test and they are a false-favorite. The Razorbacks are 13-27 ATS in their last 40 games as a road favorite. Western Kentucky, the preseason favorite in C-USA, is off to a 6-3 start following a pair of losses. The Hilltoppers lost at home against No. 1 Louisville and then suffered a two-point loss at Wright St., the preseason favorite in the Horizon League. Western Kentucky is ranked 33rd in adjusted offensive efficiency and this will be the best offense Arkansas has seen. The Hilltoppers are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games as an underdog. 10* (714) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers |

12-07-19 | Avalanche v. Bruins -145 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -145 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. It is bounce back time for the Bruins as they take a 13-game points streak (9-0-4) into Saturday's game. Boston had its eight-game winning streak snapped with a 4-3 home overtime loss against Chicago as a -223 favorite. Still, the Bruins are the only team left in the NHL that has yet to lose a home game in regulation as they are 12-0-5. The Bruins are 41-17 in their last 58 games as a favorite. Colorado has won five straight games while outscoring opponents 22-9 during this stretch. The Avalanche are a solid 10-4-1 on the road and that is helping to keep this price down. They are at a disadvantage in special teams as they have a 19.3 power play percentage compared to 29.4 percent for Boston while the Bruins penalty kill is at 84.3 percent compared to 78.6 percent for Colorado. The Avalanche are 4-10 in their last 14 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. The home team has won the last four games of this series including a 4-2 Colorado win this season so revenge is in play for Boston. Here, we play against road underdogs of +100 to +150 against the money line playing their 3rd road game in five days, in December games. This situation is 64-22 (74.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (6) Boston Bruins |

12-07-19 | UL-Lafayette v. Appalachian State -6 | Top | 38-45 | Win | 100 | 67 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the APPALACHIAN ST. MOUNTAINEERS for our CFB Game of the Week. The 2019 Sun Belt Championship Game is set with the Appalachian St. Mountaineers hosting the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. Appalachian St. clinched the Sun Belt East Division title after finishing 7-1 in conference play and 11-1 overall, two games ahead of Georgia Southern. The Mountaineers have won three-consecutive Sun Belt titles including last season when they defeated Louisiana 30-19 on this same field. Louisiana has had no trouble moving the ball the season, as evidenced by a sixth-ranked offense in yards per play. On the other side, the Appalachian State defense is a top-25 unit in regard to yards per play, which sets up for an interesting battle of strength vs. strength. If short history is any indication, the Mountaineers have the edge as they held the Cajuns to just 5.5 yppl in the first meeting in a 17-7 win and that game was in Lafayette. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points off a win by 10 points or more over a conference rival going up against an opponent off three straight wins against conference rivals. This situation is 57-25 ATS (69.5 percent) since 1992. 10* (108) Appalachian St. Mountaineers |

12-07-19 | Miami-OH +7 v. Central Michigan | Top | 26-21 | Win | 100 | 67 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI OHIO REDHAWKS for our CFB 10* Star Attraction. Miami will be going to a bowl game for the first time since 2016-17 after winning five of its last six games to win the MAC East Division. The RedHawks finished the regular season 7-5 and while it is coming off a loss in its last game, it was a meaningless game on the road. On paper, the RedHawks bring in one of the best overall defenses in the MAC and arguably the best special teams unit in the country. Offensively, the RedHawks are excellent in the red zone as they are 34-for-39 in red-zone opportunities and have scored 21 touchdowns (53.8 percent).Central Michigan turned its season around and is one of the biggest stories in the country. The Chippewas went 1-11 last season including 0-8 in the MAC and then opened this year 2-3 but went on to win six of their last seven games. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after having won four or five out of their last six games, with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 of their games on the season. This season is 37-10 ATS (78.7 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10*Â (105) Miami Ohio RedHawks |

12-07-19 | Baylor v. Oklahoma -8 | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -110 | 67 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA SOONERS for our Big XII Championship Winner. Oklahoma and Baylor will meet for the second time this season, yet again with both of their College Football Playoff hopes on the line. The first one was an epic comeback for the Sooners as they rallied from a 31-10 halftime deficit. Turnover were the story as Oklahoma won the yardage battle by 218 total yards so the outcome should not have been that close. The Sooners offense has been riding high as usual and the defense has improved from recent years so a big showing here could propel them into the CFP should Georgia lose. Baylor feels it still has a shot as we but it is slim as it is ranked No. 9 and would need a win and a lot of help. The Bears only loss came against the Sooners where Oklahoma was a 10.5-point favorite but now Oklahoma is actually favored by less on a neutral field. This is the first time all season that the Sooners have been single-digit favorites. Here, we play on any team after being beaten by the spread by 49 or more points total in their last five games, in December games. This situation is 44-16 ATS (73.3 percent) since 1992. 9* (110) Oklahoma Sooners |

12-06-19 | Nuggets v. Celtics -3 | Top | 95-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Friday Trifecta. Denver rolled over New York last night by 37 points to improve to 6-2 on the road and that success is keeping this number down. Boston has won two straight and four of five to remain in second place in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics are 8-0 at home and will be heavily motivated here. Boston will be out for some revenge as it lost in Denver to conclude a five-game roadtrip on November 22 as it was held to a season low 92 points. Here, we play on home favorites (revenging a road loss, off a home win by 10 points or more. This situation is 112-67 ATS (62.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (522) Boston Celtics |

12-06-19 | Providence v. Rhode Island | Top | 61-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the RHODE ISLAND RAMS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Providence rolled to a 93-56 win over Merrimack just over two weeks ago but it has been a struggle since then as the Friars have lost three of their last four games, failing to cover any of those as large favorites. In their only true road game this season, the Friars were dumped by Northwestern, picked to finish dead last in the Big Ten, by nine points as nine-point favorites. Providence is 4-14 ATS in its last 18 games after playing five consecutive games as favorite. Rhode Island has dropped three of its four nonconference games to date that could have opened some eyes on the national level. The Rams have only a home win over Alabama to show for a strong schedule, with road defeats against Maryland and West Virginia bracketing a loss to LSU on a neutral floor at the Jamaica Classic. The Rams are in good shape as all five starters are back from last season and they will be out for payback after losing against their rival by nine points on the road last season. Rhode Island is shooting 75.2 percent from the line at home which is a huge factor especially with lines this low. The Rams are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 games as favorites of seven points or less. 10* (620) Rhode Island Rams |

12-05-19 | Furman +13 v. Auburn | Top | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the FURMAN PALADINS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Auburn will play its first home game in over two weeks when they host the Furman Paladins on Thursday night. The Tigers have had more than a week off after winning the Legends Classic tournament in Brooklyn last week but those wins came against Richmond and New Mexico and Furman ranks right with those teams. Auburn was favored by a similar amount against Georgia Southern whose power ranking is double that of the Paladins and the Tigers failed to cover that game. While talented, this team lost a ton from the Final Four team from last season. Furman meanwhile brings back four of its five starters from its team that went 25-8 and made a trip to the NIT. The Paladins are 7-2 this season including an eight-point loss against Alabama, which was picked to finish right behind Auburn in the SEC. They are 8-2 in their last 10 road games and last season, the Paladins went on the road and beat then-No. 8 Villanova 76-68 in overtime. Furman is a perfect 7-0 when at least three of its players score in double-digits but 0-2 when fewer than three Paladins players score in double-digits. 10* (605) Furman Paladins |

12-05-19 | Cowboys -3 v. Bears | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -109 | 25 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS COWBOYS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Punisher. Dallas has lost two straight games and is 3-5 0ver its last eight games but there has been one common denominator and that is the Cowboys have outgained all eight opponents in those games. The problem is not on the offense as they have the top ranked offense in the NFL with 432.8 ypg and the defense has not been bad either as they are ranked No. 8 overall with 321.6 ypg. But on that side of the ball, they have just 12 takeaways which is tied for fourth fewest in the NFL and the eight teams they are grouped with that have 14 or fewer takeaways, seven have no chance for the playoffs. A lot of this is luck and can turn around quickly as we are backing a team that is one of only two ranked in the top eight in both offense and defense, San Francisco being the other and the 49ers are 10-2. Chicago was fortunate to get out of Detroit with a win on Thanksgiving as it had its best game on offense on the season with 419 yards yet won by just four points. Mitchell Trubisky had his best game of the season but that was against the third worst passing defense in the NFL and we do not expect a big effort Thursday. Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 with a defense forcing one or fewer tpg, after two consecutive games with a turnover margin of -1 or worse. This situation is 49-20 ATS (71 percent) since 1983. 10* (101) Dallas Cowboys |

12-05-19 | Rockets v. Raptors -2 | Top | 119-109 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. A pair of teams coming off overtime losses square off when the Houston Rockets visit the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night. The Rockets squandered a 22-point lead at San Antonio and lost 135-133 Tuesday to the Spurs in a game marred by a controversial call of a dunk that was not upheld. Houston was on a roll with eight straight wins but it has gone just 2-4 over its last six games including 0-3 on the road. Houston is 9-21 ATS in its last 30 games after scoring 130 points. Toronto had no controversy, just a lousy final five minutes as it was outscored by the Heat 13-2 in the overtime period in its 121-110 home loss on Tuesday. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for the Raptors while also snapping its 9-0 undefeated record at home to open the season. The Raptors are averaging 119.5 ppg at home while the Rockets are allowing 118.7 ppg on the road. The Raptors are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 off an upset loss as a favorite, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 65-32 ATS (67 percent) since 1996. 10* (504) Toronto Raptors |

12-05-19 | Golden Knights v. Islanders -110 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK ISLANDERS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. The Golden Knights ran their winning streak to a season-high four games in a 4-3 comeback victory over the Devils on Tuesday. Vegas lost eight of 10 prior to its current run, which includes three one-goal victories and two comebacks as well as a 4-1 win over the Rangers on Monday. The Golden Knights are averaging just 2.73 gpg on the road where they are 8-6-1. The Islanders are coming off a 4-2 loss against Montreal on Tuesday and they have lost two of their last four games. All four of those losses came on the road however. The game Thursday will be the Islanders first at Nassau Coliseum since a 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs on Nov. 13 and they have won six straight games at the Coliseum. New York is 16-4 against the money line against teams averaging 29.5 or more shots on goal per game this season. Here, we play on home teams against the money line after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game going up against an opponent after scoring three goals or more in two straight games. This situation is 301-205 (59.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (50) New York Islanders |

12-04-19 | Ohio State v. North Carolina -3.5 | Top | 74-49 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. The seventh-ranked Tar Heels take on No. 6 Ohio State Wednesday night in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Following a loss to Michigan, North Carolina bounced back to defeat Oregon 78-74 behind a big effort from Armando Bacot. It was a positive sign for the Tar Heels, who are looking for a second player to take on a bigger scoring role outside of Cole Anthony. The Buckeyes are the higher ranked team and a lot of that has to do with the teams that started above them have mostly all fallen. They lead all of Division I in scoring margin on the season and have only one game that was decided by fewer than 10 points. That is the positive news. The bad news is that this is their first road game of the season and it could not come at a tougher place. On top of that, Ohio St. has played the No. 286 ranked schedule in the country. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after scoring 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 62-29 ATS (68.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (870) North Carolina Tar Heels |

12-04-19 | Lakers v. Jazz -2.5 | Top | 121-96 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Utah is back home where it went 1-4 including a pair of losses in its last two games against Toronto and Phoenix. The Jazz are just 4-8 on the road but they are 8-1 at home including victories over the Clippers and Bucks. The Jazz finished with the third best record in the Western Conference last year, after going 28-13 in 2017-18, so this is a tough place to play. The Lakers are coming off a win over Denver last night with both LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing more than 37 minutes. It was the ninth straight road win for Los Angeles after losing its opener against the Clippers but this is the ultimate tough spot. Just how much energy the Lakers will have left on Wednesday is the question after playing Denver at 5,280 feet, while Salt Lake City is only slightly lower at 4,226 feet. The Lakers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win. Here, we play on home favorites revenging a loss, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 98-51 ATS (65.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (570) Utah Jazz |
