01-30-19 | Lightning v. Penguins +104 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 104 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. We won with Winnipeg last night and we are backing Pittsburgh for very much the same rationale. The Penguins have the advantage of playing a second game since the long break while catching the Lightning coming off an 11-day layoff sandwiched around the All-Star break. Pittsburgh lost here on Monday against New Jersey as a big favorite which was its fourth loss in five games and it sits in the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are 15-6 in their last 21 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Tampa Bay won its last game prior to the break, defeating San Jose 6-3 despite getting outshot 39-26. The Lighting top the NHL with 76 points but this is a real difficult spot having been off for so long which we saw with Boston last night. Here, we play on teams coming off a loss by three goals or more to a division rival, with a winning record in the second half of the season. This situation is 113-63 (64.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (2) Pittsburgh Penguins |

01-30-19 | Indiana -1.5 v. Rutgers | Top | 58-66 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS as part of our Wednesday Trifecta. Indiana opened Big Ten play with three straight wins but it has been a struggle since then as the Hoosiers have lost their last six games as the schedule has not been in their favor. Four of the six losses came on the road and all six have come against teams with winning record including having to play Michigan twice. Despite this, Indiana is still in the NCAA Tournament mix but a loss here would devastating especially with a game at Michigan St. on deck. While currently flawed, Indiana is still in the top 50 in the power rankings and owns three top 100 wins. Rutgers has won two straight games as significant underdogs but this is still a pretty bad team. An already struggling offense has found new lows since the start of January, and what is overall a reliable defense has faltered against the Big Ten. Add to that an inconsistent offense and it welcomes Indiana at the wrong time. 10* (797) Indiana Hoosiers |

01-29-19 | 76ers -7 v. Lakers | Top | 121-105 | Win | 100 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. This line came out late in most places due to the myriad of injuries that the Lakers are dealing with. LeBron James is out at least one more game, Lonzo Ball will miss his fourth straight game with an ankle injury, Josh Hart looks doubtful with knee issues and Kyle Kuzma, the second best player on this team, is questionable after missing the last game. Los Angeles did win last time out despite the limited roster but that came against Phoenix and since James went down, it is 6-10 in 16 games with only one win coming against a team with a winning record. The Sixers were on a 5-1 run heading to Denver but their own injuries got in the way of what would have been a great matchup but Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler both missed the game as they lost by 16 points. Both are back tonight and this is a tune up before playing Golden St. on Thursday. The Sixers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season with a scoring differential between +3 and +7 going up against a team with a scoring differential between +3 and -3, after allowing 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (551) Philadelphia 76ers |

01-29-19 | Mississippi State v. Alabama -1.5 | Top | 79-83 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
This is a play on the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. We played on Alabama a week ago and we are backing them again here in a similar situational matchup. The Crimson Tide are 3-3 in the SEC, including a buzzer-beater loss at the hands of Texas A&M and a road loss to No. 1 Tennessee by three points. Alabama is 7-2 at home with the two losses coming by a combined four points and included in the wins are victories against Kentucky and Arizona. Alabama is currently tied with LSU and Mississippi St. in the SEC for most total wins against Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2 opponents with eight. Overall, the Crimson Tide are 8-3, and have just one loss against Q2 teams. They are back home after that loss against Baylor on Saturday. Mississippi St. is coming off what could be considered an upset as it defeated Auburn by eight points as a pickem at home. The Bulldogs are just 2-2 on the road with the wins coming against Dayton and Vanderbilt, both of which are ranked well below Alabama. The Tide are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning straight up record while the Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. 10* (630) Alabama Crimson Tide |

01-29-19 | Jets +165 v. Bruins | Top | 4-3 | Win | 165 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. We lost with Winnipeg last night as a road favorite as it was unable to find the goal at even strength, missing all 28 shots in the 3-1 loss. The Jets have the advantage of playing a second straight night while catching the Bruins coming off a 10-day layoff sandwiched around the All-Star break. Winnipeg is now 13-10 on the road but it has prospered in this spot as it is 14-3 after one or more consecutive losses this season. The Bruins closed their first half with a home loss against the Rangers and they closed out by losing four of their final six games. Boston has been solid at home however, it has won here only once in its last four games and the big issue tonight is that goalie Tuukka Rask is out with a concussion and Jaroslav Halak will be making the state and he has allowed 3.75 gpg over his last four starts. The Jets are 4-0 in their last four games playing with no rest while the Bruins are 0-4 in their last four games playing with three or more days of rest. Here, we play on road teams in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .600 and .800 after having lost two of their last three games, a playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 61-36 (62.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (77) Winnipeg Jets |

01-28-19 | TCU v. Texas Tech -4.5 | Top | 65-84 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Texas Tech dropped consecutive Big XII games against Iowa St., Baylor and Kansas St. before notching a 67-64 victory over Arkansas on Saturday in the Big XII/SEC Challenge. The Red Raiders are hoping to keep that momentum going to improve upon their 4-3 record in the conference as they are a game out of first place heading into tonight. Texas Tech has failed to cover its last four games so the contrarian play here is aided by line value and going back, it is 17-5 ATS in its last 22 home games after failing to cover six or seven of its last eight games against the spread. TCU has won two straight games as it defeated Texas in its most recent Big XII game and followed that up with a win over Florida on Saturday. The Horned Frogs are 3-3 in the conference but all three of those losses came on the road and their only road victory this season came at SMU in a non-conference game. Going back, TCU is 13-27 ATS in its last 40 games in the second half of the season against teams allowing 39 percent or better shooting from the floor. 10* (856) Texas Tech Red Raiders |
|||||||
01-28-19 | Jets -130 v. Flyers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. The Flyers entered the break with a three-game winning streak, its second such streak of the season and we see it ending just like the first one did, with a loss at home. All three of those Philadelphia wins came as underdogs and this will be its fourth straight game at home against an opponent currently in a playoff position. Going back, the Flyers are 0-5 in their last five home games against teams with a winning road record. Winnipeg had a four-game winning streak snapped last Saturday at Dallas and went into the break tied with Nashville atop the Central Division with 64 points. The Jets are 13-9 on the road and their 3.05 gpg average is ninth best in the league and the matchup favors that as the Flyers are allowing 3.26 gpg at home which is fourth most in the NHL. They have improved with rookie Carter Hart inside the net but in his 12 starts, he has faced only two teams in the top ten in the league in goals scored and both resulted in losses where he allowed 3.50 gpg. The Jets are 40-13 in their last 53 games against teams with a losing record. 10* (71) Winnipeg Jets |
|||||||
01-28-19 | Warriors v. Pacers +9.5 | Top | 132-100 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. We played against Golden St. on Saturday as it escaped against the Celtics no thanks to an offensive rebound on a missed free throw with 8.6 seconds left to secure a four-point win and cover. The Warriors have now won 10 straight games as well as nine straight games on the road but after laying 3.5 points against Boston, they are laying a minimum of five points more against a team that has a better record than Boston and is just two points behind the Celtics in the updated power rankings. The loss of Victor Oladipo is a big one for sure but he is not worth the line adjustment that has been made here and the Pacers still have a loaded roster. While they have struggled against the top ten teams in the league with just seven wins, we are not asking them to win here, just stay competitive. Indiana is 17-5 ATS in its last 22 games as a home underdog of 6.5 to 12 points while Golden St. is 4-16 ATS in 20 games this season as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points. Additionally, we play on home underdogs coming off an upset loss as a favorite, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 38-13 ATS (74.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (530) Indiana Pacers |
|||||||
01-27-19 | Raptors -4 v. Mavs | Top | 123-120 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. The Raptors, now 15-11 on the road, will look to snap a two-game skid against one of the better home teams in the league, despite Dallas being out of the Western Conference playoff mix. Toronto lost in Indiana and Houston by four and two points respectively and it will look to end a three-game road losing streak. Of the 11 road losses for the Raptors, only one has come against a team with a losing record and that came in Orlando without Kyle Lowry. Following close wins against the Clippers and the Pistons on Friday, the Mavericks own an 18-6 home mark, tied for the second-fewest home losses in the Western Conference. Certainly that is significant but the Mavericks struggled in their latest tough home tests, losing to Golden St. and San Antonio two weeks ago. Dallas is just 7-10 against the top ten power ranked teams while Toronto is 26-6 against teams ranked outside the top ten. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season with a scoring differential between +3 and +7 going up against a team with a scoring differential between +3 and -3, after allowing 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 31-8 ATS (79.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (517) Toronto Raptors |
|||||||
01-27-19 | Seton Hall +8.5 v. Villanova | Top | 52-80 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the SETON HALL PIRATES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Seton Hall has lost three straight and four of its last five games but the schedule did not help as those five games came in a span of 14 days. Head coach Kevin Willard called conference scheduling absurd prior to the DePaul loss, saying it put his team at a competitive disadvantage and you cannot blame him. The good news is the Pirates have been off since last Saturday and going back, they Pirates are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 road games off an upset loss as a home favorite while going 6-0 ATS in road games against teams outscoring their opponents by eight or more ppg this season. Villanova has turned the corner after a shaky start to the season as it has won seven straight games including its first six in the Big East to take early control with Marquette looming. This will be a challenge despite Villanova having gone 16-0 at home against Seton Hall since 1994. The Pirates are looking like a potential NCAA Tournament team, having beaten St. Johns and Xavier within the conference and boasting a 9-3 non-conference record with wins over Kentucky and Maryland. 10* (831) Seton Hall Pirates |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Warriors v. Celtics +3.5 | Top | 115-111 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. With DeMarcus Cousins back on the court, not many are going to be stepping in front of the Warriors as they have looked dominant in his three games. Overall, Golden St. has won nine straight games as it is finally back in the form that was expected all season but now comes another true test and it has not passed the test so far. The Warriors have played just 12 games against teams ranked in the top ten, the second fewest of teams ranked within the top ten, and they have gone just 4-8 in those games. Boston has won five straight games and it gets Kyrie Irving back tonight after he missed the last game with an illness. The Celtics got off to a slow start this season but are 20-8 over their last 28 games including 10 straight wins at home. Boston has thrived in this spot as it is 10-1 ATS in 11 games as a home underdog dating back to last season. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams allowing between 43.5 and 45.5 percent shooting, after a game where it made 55 percent of their shots or better. This situation is 28-6 ATS (82.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) Boston Celtics |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Washington v. Oregon State -2 | Top | 79-69 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON ST. BEAVERS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. We played against Washington on Thursday as it dominated the first half against Oregon and held on for a five-point win. The Huskies are now a perfect 6-0 straight up and against the number in the Pac 12 and they are catching roughly the same number here as they were against Oregon which makes this intriguing considering the Beavers are ranked much lower in the power rankings than the Ducks. Oregon St. is coming off a 13-point win over Washington St. on Thursday and while that is not saying much, it does own impressive home wins over USC and UCLA and overall, the Beavers are 8-1 at home on the season. Oregon St. is 11-3 this season when favored and it has covered three of four home games against teams with a winning record and the Beavers have covered their last four games at home. 10* (670) Oregon St. Beavers |

01-25-19 | Butler v. Creighton -2.5 | Top | 61-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Creighton is 11-8 overall and 2-4 in the Big East while having played the nation's ninth-toughest schedule, having already played 12 teams that won 21 games or more a year ago. The Bluejays are one of the best shooting teams in the country as they are second nationally in three-point percentage (.431), third in total three-pointers (231), third in three-pointers made per game (12.2) and fifth in field goal percentage (.505). While this might be considered a letdown for Creighton considering it is coming off a win at Georgetown as an underdog, the Bluejays are in full revenge mode here from a loss at Butler by 15 points just 20 days ago. Creighton is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 home games after allowing 80 points or more. The Bulldogs are coming off a loss against Villanova and they hit the road where they are just 1-4 with the lone victory coming against DePaul. Butler is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games against teams shooting 48 percent or better while going 2-12 ATS in its last 14 road games after playing a home game. 10* (858) Creighton Bluejays |
|||||||
01-25-19 | Wizards v. Magic -3.5 | Top | 95-91 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Orlando is coming off a loss in Brooklyn on Wednesday to make it a 1-4 run but three of those losses came by four points or less and the Magic are in a great spot tonight to win going away. Aaron Gordon was a non-factor against the Nets after missing two games with a sore back but we expect him to be a big contributor tonight after playing just 24 minutes. The Magic are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a losing road record. Washington has had a tough season from the start and with John Wall out for the season, there is little to no hope of any possible success. The Wizards are coming off a six-game homestand culminating with a loss against Golden St. last night which was a game they were clearly up for which presents a letdown tonight. Washington is 4-12 ATS as a road underdog this season while going 3-15 ATS in 18 road games against teams allowing 10 or more ppg. 10* (566) Orlando Magic |
|||||||
01-24-19 | Washington v. Oregon -2.5 | Top | 61-56 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Washington is off to a perfect 5-0 start in the Pac 12 and it has covered all of those games as well. Four of the five victories have come by double-digits including one of two conference games played on the road. While the Huskies start in conference play is impressive, it has also come against some of the weaker teams in the Pac 12 as none of five wins have come against teams ranked in the top 99 of the latest NCAA Net Rankings. Going back, the Huskies are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while going 3-12 ATS in their last 15 road games after two straight wins by 15 points or more. Oregon upset Arizona on the road last Thursday but letdown the next game as it lost at Arizona St. two days later by 14 points. Overall, it has been a disappointing season for the Ducks but this is a chance for another quality win. Oregon is 20-9 ATS in its last 29 games against teams outscoring their opponents by four or more ppg in the second half of the season while going 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games following a loss. 10* (654) Oregon Ducks |

01-24-19 | Pelicans +12 v. Thunder | Top | 116-122 | Win | 100 | 12 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Oklahoma City has won three straight games and what normally would have been a great matchup has lost some of the sizzle with New Orleans struggling and Anthony Davis being out. The Thunder defeated Portland on Tuesday to take sole possession of third place in the Western Conference by one game over the Blazers and that coupled with an upcoming game against the Eastern Conference-leading Bucks puts them in a tough spot tonight in trying to avoid a letdown. Oklahoma City is 8-20 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points over the last two seasons. The Pelicans are coming off a loss against Detroit last night as they had no answer for Blake Griffin with Davis sidelined. The matchup is definitely better tonight and as bad as New Orleans has been on the road with a 7-19 record, it has been outscored by just 1.3 ppg and only six of those 19 losses were by double-digits. The Pelicans are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss. Here, we play against home teams in the second half of the season shooting between 45.5 and 47.5 percent going up against a team allowing between 45.5 and 47.5 percent shooting, after two straight games shooting 50 percent or better. This situation is 91-42 ATS (68.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (559) New Orleans Pelicans |

01-23-19 | Wild v. Avalanche -126 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -126 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO AVALANCHE for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. This is a big night for a few teams tonight with this being their final game prior to the All Star Break. It is arguably the biggest for Colorado which is coming off a matinee loss against Nashville on Monday to make it 15 losses over its last 20 games which has sent the Avalanche into the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Not only is this the final game before the break, this is the last game for Colorado until February 2nd so this is a big one to gain some momentum heading into the long layoff. The Avalanche are 5-2 in their last seven games following a loss of three or more goals. Minnesota is in third place in the Central Division as it has won two straight games including an upset at Vegas on Monday. That improved the Wild to 12-12 on the road and while they too are off for a lengthy period, being on the road has them itching to get home for the break. The Wild are 3-13 in their last 16 games after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play on favorites revenging a close loss of one goal and coming off a home loss by two goals or more. This situation is 91-32 (74 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (34) Colorado Avalanche |
|||||||
01-23-19 | Hornets v. Grizzlies -1 | Top | 118-107 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. Memphis is in a tailspin as it has lost six straight games and 12c of its last 13 games and while there are no excuses, the Grizzlies have played a brutal schedule over this stretch. They have faced Boston twice, Houston twice, San Antonio twice as well as playing Toronto and Milwaukee. Overall, they have played the toughest schedule in the NBA as 32 of their 47 games have come against the top 16 in the league. The Grizzlies are 16-7-1 ATS in their last 24 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Charlotte opened the season by winning its first two road games but it is 4-16 on the highway since then and the Hornets have covered just two of their last 10 games on the road. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are shooting between 43.5 and 45.5 percent from the floor after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots going up against a team allowing between 43.5 and 45.5 percent shooting from the floor. This situation is 52-23 ATS (69.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (554) Memphis Grizzlies |

01-23-19 | Georgia +11 v. LSU | Top | 82-92 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGIA BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Georgia has lost three straight games to fall to 1-4 in the SEC but the schedule has been a brutal one. The Bulldogs four losses came against Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky and Florida and while this is another tough foe, the linemakers have taken that into consideration. They were on a 7-1 ATS run and going back, the Bulldogs are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games following a double-digit loss at home. LSU has started conference play 4-0 but only one of those was a quality win and now it is laying its biggest number in SEC play. The Tigers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Here, we play on road teams as an underdog or pickem with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 coming off three straight losses against conference rivals, playing a winning team. This situation is 61-26 ATS (70.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (805) Georgia Bulldogs |

01-22-19 | Ole Miss v. Alabama | Top | 53-74 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. The Rebels have won 11 of its last 12 games and has beaten solid conference opponents Mississippi St. and Auburn along the way. The Rebels are coming off a dominating win over Arkansas on Saturday which made up for that lone loss with came against LSU by 14 points. The Crimson Tide have gone 2-3 in the SEC, including a buzzer-beater loss at the hands of Texas A&M and a road loss to Tennessee this past Saturday by three points. Alabama is 6-2 at home with the two losses coming by a combined four points and included in the wins are victories against Kentucky and Arizona. Alabama is currently tied with LSU and Mississippi St. in the SEC for most total wins against Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2 opponents with seven. Overall, the Crimson Tide are 7-3, and undefeated against Q2 teams. The Alabama winning percentage is also tied for second-best behind Tennessee, who leads with .857 so this team is underrated right now. the Crimson Tide are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a winning road record. 10* (638) Alabama Crimson Tide |

01-22-19 | Clippers v. Mavs -4 | Top | 98-106 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. It has been an up and down season for both Los Angeles and Dallas and for different reasons. We played on the Clippers on Sunday as they went into San Antonio and won outright as 9.5-point underdogs to snap a five-game losing streak and have now moved back up to seventh place in the Western Conference. Injuries have been the problem even though they overcame it Sunday as Lou Williams and Danilo Gallinari remain out. They account for a combined 37.7 ppg. The Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Dallas is riding a four-game losing streak but three of those came against the Bucks, Warriors and Pacers, all ranked in the top five and the other was against San Antonio. The problem for the Mavericks is they cannot win away from home as their 4-20 road record is tied with Phoenix for worse in the league. Dallas is 7-0 ATS at home when playing six or less games in 14 days this season. Here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points and coming off an upset win as an underdog. This situation is 187-118 ATS (61.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (534) Dallas Mavericks |

01-22-19 | Sharks v. Capitals -133 | Top | 7-6 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON CAPITALS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. After a 16-3 run, Washington has lost eight of its last 11 games including five straight losses. The Capitals have fallen from first place in the Metropolitan Division to third place, three points behind the Islanders and just one point ahead of Pittsburgh in the final Wild Card spot. Washington is averaging 3.21 gpg at home and faces a San Jose team allowing 3.77 gpg on the road which is sixth most in the NHL. Washington is 21-8 in its last 29 games against teams allowing 2.85 or more gpg. San Jose has also gone the other way as it has lost three straight games on this roadtrip following a seven-game winning streak and the Sharks allowed six goals in each of those three losses. They are now six points behind Calgary in the Pacific Division and going back, San Jose is 9-21 in its last 30 road games against teams averaging 3 or more gpg. Here, we play on home favorites in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after failing to cover the spread in five or more consecutive games. This situation is 35-6 (85.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (20) Washington Capitals |

01-21-19 | Rockets v. 76ers -4 | Top | 93-121 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Sixers look to shake off a loss against Oklahoma City on Saturday which was its second loss at home in its last three games following am 18-3 start. They now trail Toronto by 4.5 games in the Atlantic Division. Going back, Philadelphia is 26-10 ATS in its last 36 home games against teams with a losing road record. Houston hits the road following a pair of overtime wins to close out its three-game homestand including a win over the Lakers to improve to 17-7 at home but the Rockets are just 9-12 on the highway and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season that possess a scoring differential between +3 and +7 going up against a team with a scoring differential between +3 and -3, after scoring 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 45-19 ATS (70.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (524) Philadelphia 76ers |

01-21-19 | Old Dominion v. Charlotte +7.5 | Top | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. We played on Charlotte back on 12/18 against East Carolina with a big factor being the improved defense under new head coach Ron Sanchez who brought in the same system as Virginia where was an assistant coach. While it has taken some time, that unit is starting to gel and the 49ers are coming off their best defensive game of the season as they held Louisiana Tech to 40 points on 27.8 percent shooting. The 49ers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. Old Dominion defeated Southern Miss by 18 points which was its third straight win while snapping a three-game ATS losing skid. The Monarchs are 3-2 on the road but have failed to cover their last two, losing outright at Florida Atlantic as a favorite of seven points and defeating Florida International by just one point. The Monarchs are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, e play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .200 and .400 off a double digit win as a underdog of six or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 47-17 ATS (73.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (852) Charlotte 49ers |

01-21-19 | Predators +105 v. Avalanche | Top | 4-1 | Win | 105 | 5 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the NASHVILLE PREDATORS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Nashville concluded a three-game homestand with a pair of losses as pretty heft favorites and the Predators are now four points behind Winnipeg in the Central Division. They are eight points ahead of Colorado so a regulation win here is a big four-point swing. Nashville is 12-4 in its last 16 road games after scoring two goals or less in two straight games while going 24-8 in its last 32 games after allowing three goals or more two straight games. Colorado is coming off a laugher of a win as it defeated the Kings 7-1 on Saturday. The Avalanche are just 10-11 at home after posting the third best home record in the Western Conference last season. Colorado is 3-11 in its last 14 games after scoring five goals or more in their previous game this season. Here, we play on road teams when the money line is -100 to -150 coming off a home loss by two goals or more, with a winning record in the second half of the season. This situation is 44-14 (75.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (11) Nashville Predators |

01-20-19 | Clippers +9 v. Spurs | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Once atop the Western Conference, the Clippers are in a freefall as they have lost five straight games and are now in eighth place in the conference, just percentage points ahead of the Lakers. This includes four straight losses at home but going back, the Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. San Antonio has won two straight games, a pair of road victories against Dallas and Minnesota as underdogs. The Spurs have been on a solid long run but they are completely overpriced here as the last meeting here a month ago, they were favored by just three points. They are just 3-6 ATS on the season when favored by six or more points and here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 coming off two or more consecutive wins as a road underdog. This situation is 90-49 ATS (64.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (505) Los Angeles Clippers |

01-20-19 | Patriots v. Chiefs -3 | Top | 37-31 | Loss | -103 | 100 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS for our NFL Playoff Game of the Year. This line is holding strong at -3 and will likely stay on this number before kickoff. Some demons were removed last week with Kansas City as it defeated the Colts and essentially removed any pressure going forward. The Chiefs have had one of their best seasons in years and appear to have finally found their franchise quarterback in Patrick Mahomes. But in order to complete their ascension, they will need to beat the very best the NFL has to offer in Bill Belichick and the Patriots. New England has had a dynasty going for a while now yet they are only 3-4 in the postseason on the road under Belichick, which opens the door for a team as well-coached and dangerous as the Chiefs to perhaps negate that advantage. Additionally, the Patriots went 3-5 on the road this season with all five of those losses coming against non-playoff teams. w England played a near flawless game last week against the Chargers but it did catch Los Angeles in a tough spot having to play its second straight road game on the east coast in an early game. Much is being said about how cold it is going to be in Kansas City and how good of a cold-weather quarterback Tom Brady is. Those claims are pretty false however as he is not great in real cold weather (20 and under). He has completed 125 of 223 passes (56.1 percent) for 1,307 yards, 10 touchdowns, and four interceptions while posting a QB rating of 80.7. here, we play on home favorites in the second half of the season that are outgaining opponents by 0.4 to 1 yppl going up against a team with a +/- 0.4 yppl differential, after gaining 400 or more total yards in their previous game. This situation is 72-37 ATS (66.1 percent) since 1983. 10* (314) Kansas City Chiefs |

01-20-19 | Missouri State +3.5 v. Drake | Top | 63-74 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
This is a play on the MISSOURI ST. BEARS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Missouri St. is coming off a home loss on Wednesday against Evansville as it shot just 39.7 percent from the floor including going only 3-16 (18.8 percent) from long range. That stopped some positive momentum as the Bears has won their previous two games, both on the road, against Indiana St. and Bradley. They have been favored in the last six meetings against Drake but are now catching points. The Bulldogs won at Bradley by 17 points on Wednesday as four-point underdogs but they are just 2-3 in the conference. They suffered a huge loss earlier this month with graduate transfer point guard Nick Norton going down for the season with a knee injury. He was their leading scorer with 15.5 ppg at the time while also leading the team in assists. 10* (825) Missouri St. Bears |

01-20-19 | Capitals -145 v. Blackhawks | Top | 5-8 | Loss | -145 | 2 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON CAPITALS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. Washington has lost four straight games and is now a point behind the Islanders for first place in the Metropolitan Division. Surprisingly, three of those losses have some at home where the Capitals totaled just two goals overall and they have actually been better on the road with a 14-9 record. Washington is 13-3 in road games against teams allowing 29.5 or more shots on goal this season while going 13-3 in their last 16 games after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Chicago meanwhile has lost five straight games and seven of their last eight and there is no where to go but down at this point. The Blackhawks have the fewest points in the entire league with 41 no thanks to a defense that is allowing 3.71 gpg, second most in the NHL. Here, we play on road favorites after three or more consecutive losses going up against an opponent after four or more consecutive losses. This situation is 38-11 (77.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (1) Washington Capitals |

01-19-19 | Flames -125 v. Oilers | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the CALGARY FLAMES for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Calgary has been shut out three times this season and one of those came right here last month 1-0 so there is some major revenge for the Flames. They bounced back from an overtime loss against Buffalo on Tuesday to post a win over Detroit last night 6-4 and they come in winning four of their last five road games. Calgary is 10-3 this season on the road against teams allowing three or more gpg while going 12-2 in 14 games this season after allowing four or more goals. Edmonton has won two straight games and remain in the hunt in the Wild Card race in the Western Conference as it is a point behind Vancouver for the second spot. Home ice has proved to be pretty average for Edmonton as it is 12-11 and the Oilers are 0-4 in their last four home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play on road teams when the money line is -100 to -150 after six or more consecutive overs, that are +0.4 or better in scoring differential going up against a team that is -0.4 to +0.4 in scoring differential. This situation is 26-2 (92.9 percent since 1996. 10* (77) Calgary Flames |

01-19-19 | Mavs v. Pacers -6.5 | Top | 99-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We backed the Pacers in their most recent game and they were trounced by Philadelphia by 24 points. This is a good bounce back spot however and they are catching a good number as well. Despite that most recent setback, Indiana has won nine of its last 11 games at home and overall, the Pacers are outscoring opponents by 8.7 ppg here. Going back, Indiana is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 games off a home loss by 10 points or more. Dallas was 16-4 at home heading into a tough two-game stretch against San Antonio and Golden St. and the Mavericks failed on both occasions even though both games were close. They hit the road where it has been a struggle all season as Dallas is 4-18 which is tied for the second worst road record in the league. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are shooting 48 percent or better on the season, after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 167-110 ATS (60.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (574) Indiana Pacers |

01-19-19 | Northern Iowa v. Valparaiso -4 | Top | 66-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the VALPARAISO CRUSADERS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Valparaiso did not have a good transition from the Horizon League to the MVC as it finished in last place in its inaugural season. Things are on the way up however as the Crusaders are off to a 4-1 start in conference action and they look to bounce back following a loss at Loyola-Chicago by 17 points on Tuesday. That snapped a five-game winning streak and heading back home following two straight road games puts them in a great spot. Northern Iowa used to dominate the MVC but it finished send to late place last season and not much is expected this year either. The Panthers are coming off a pair of wins against Drake and Indiana St. but those were at home where they possess bad losses against Grand Canyon and Stony Brook. Northern Iowa is 1-4 on the road and going back, it is 5-15-1 ATS in its last 21 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (682) Valparaiso Crusaders |

01-18-19 | Penguins -141 v. Coyotes | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Pittsburgh opened this five-game roadtrip with a win at Anaheim but dropped the last two games against Los Angeles and San Jose by identical 5-2 scores. The Penguins are still a solid 12-7-4 on the road and they are clinging to a two-point lead over Buffalo for the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Going back, the Penguins are 9-2 in their last 11 games against teams with a losing record. Arizona upset San Jose at home on Wednesday, making it four wins in its last five games and it is just one point out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The Coyotes have been surprisingly good on the road but are a below average 9-12-2 at home. Arizona lost the first meeting in Pittsburgh 3-0 and it is 11-40 in its last 51 games revenging a loss of three goals or more. Here, we play on road favorites of -150 or less in the second half of the season that are outscoring their opponents by 0.5 or more gpg, after a loss by three goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 25-5 (83.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (53) Pittsburgh Penguins |

01-18-19 | Nets v. Magic +1 | Top | 117-115 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Orlando is coming off an overtime loss at Detroit on Wednesday which snapped a two-game winning streak. The home team has had the edge of late, going 10-1 in the last 11 games for the Magic and this includes a current four-game home winning streak for Orlando. The Magic are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a losing road record. Brooklyn meanwhile has won two straight games and both were impressive victories against Boston and Houston, the latter coming on the road in overtime on Wednesday. It has been an impressive run for the Nets which are 15-5 over their last 20 games and while this includes a 6-4 record on the road, three of those wins came against the Bulls (twice) and the Knicks. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 103 or more ppg on the season, after a win by three points or less. This situation is 109-55 ATS (66.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (554) Orlando Magic |

01-18-19 | Maryland v. Ohio State -2.5 | Top | 75-61 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. The Buckeyes have lost three consecutive games for the first time under second-year coach Chris Holtmann with the last two coming on the road. Ohio St. is 8-2 at home with the two losses being quality ones against Syracuse and Michigan St. and the goal tonight is to clean up the mistakes as it turned the ball over 34 times the past two games, including a season-high 21 vs. Iowa. Another key struggle area for Ohio St. has been the foul trouble of its top scorer, sophomore forward Kaleb Wesson so keeping him on the floor is huge. Ohio St. is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 home games after failing to cover four of its last five games. Maryland is a team trending very much in the opposite direction as after a tough loss to Seton Hall at the end of December, the Terrapins have rattled off six straight wins to work their way into the Top 25. They have had only two road games over this stretch and now comes their biggest test. Despite being ranked, we like the fact Maryland is the underdog here and Ohio St. gets the much needed victory to turn its season around. 10* (852) Ohio St. Buckeyes |

01-17-19 | UTEP v. UAB -7.5 | Top | 63-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the UAB BLAZERS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. UAB opened the conference season with a pair of wins over Florida Atlantic and Florida International but lost both games last week on the road to fall to 2-2 in C-USA. The Blazers are back home where they are 8-1 with the lone defeat coming against Troy by just one-point. They are extremely balanced with seven players averaging between 6.6 and 12.4 ppg and going back, the Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss. UTEP snapped a three-game losing streak with an unimpressive one-point win over Rice on Saturday, considered by most as the worst team in the conference. That was the third straight home game for the Miners where they are 6-4 but they hit the road after dropping their first five games by an average of close to 18 ppg. The Miners are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games following three or more consecutive home games. 10* (636) UAB Blazers |

01-17-19 | Blues v. Bruins -145 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. We lost with Boston last night in Philadelphia as it was in a good spot, outshot the Flyers 42-19, yet lost its second straight game despite outshooting the opposition by more than 20 shots. Tuukka Rask is back in net tonight and he looks to shake off that loss to Montreal which snapped a personal five-game winning streak. Boston is 10-1 in its last 11 games following a loss by one goal. St. Louis was on a roll with three straight wins but lost in overtime in New York on Tuesday against the Islanders. The Blues had also won four straight road games prior to that defeat but are now back under .500 on the highway for the season. St. Louis is 1-8 in its last nine games when playing its 8th game in 14 days. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season that are allowing 3.0 or more gpg on the season, after allowing two goals or less in two straight games. This situation is 93-49 (65.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (34) Boston Bruins |

01-16-19 | Raptors v. Celtics -2 | Top | 108-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. This line came out late because of the Kyrie Irving injury situation but he is now probable. Toronto has won five straight games to take over first place in the Eastern Conference, one game in front of Milwaukee. One of those wins came on the road against the Bucks, the first of two straight road wins but the Raptors are just 3-5 in their last eight road games. Additionally, the Raptors are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Boston is back home following a three-game roadtrip where it dropped all three games and it is now seven games behind the Raptors in the Atlantic Division. The Celtics have won six straight home games and they have had success against the elite teams, going 17-5-1 ATS in their last 23 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 61-23 ATS (72.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (530) Boston Celtics |

01-16-19 | Bruins -145 v. Flyers | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -145 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Philadelphia was on a 1-9 run before rolling over Minnesota on Monday 7-4. The Flyers had scored seven goals total in their previous four games prior to that eruption but it will be a difficult transition into tonight as the Bruins have allowed 2.59 gpg which is third fewest in the league thanks to goalie Jaroslav Halak who is allowing just 2.39 gpg. Boston was on a 5-1 run before losing at home against Montreal on Monday in overtime. The Bruins have been significantly better at home than on the road but that is keeping this number down and they have won four of their last five games on the highway. Meanwhile, the Flyers are 3-13 in their last 16 games after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. Here, we play on road favorites of -200 or less in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 that are playing their 4th game in seven days, playing a losing team. This situation is 111-49 (69.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (23) Boston Bruins |

01-16-19 | Boston College +11.5 v. Louisville | Top | 70-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Louisville is coming off a monumental upset as it went to Chapel Hill and beat North Carolina by 21 points as an 11-point underdog. It was even more shocking considering its previous game resulted in a loss against Pittsburgh, a team that did not win a single conference game last season. The Cardinals are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. Boston College has opened 0-3 in the ACC but two of those games came against Virginia and Virginia Tech, two top ten teams, while the other came at Notre Dame, which is a difficult venue, by just three points. The Eagles have covered all five games away from home this season and they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games after having lost four of their last five games. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points off a road cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog going up against an opponent off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 73-36 ATS (67 percent) since 1997. 10* (797) Boston College Eagles |

01-15-19 | Warriors v. Nuggets +2 | Top | 142-111 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. First place in the Western Conference is on the line tonight when Golden St. visits Denver and the Nuggets continue to get no respect with the public right there with them as Golden St. is a heavy consensus. Denver has the best home record in the NBA at 18-3 including 12 straight wins and it is 49-13at home since last season. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games against teams with a winning road record. One argument that will be made for Golden St. is the fact that it steps up in these big games against elite teams but that is actually not the case. The Warriors are 3-8 against teams ranked within the top 10 and those three wins are tied for fourth fewest in the league with Phoenix and Cleveland and ahead of only New York, Chicago and Atlanta. Additionally, they are one of only five teams ranked in the top 16 that have single-digit wins within that group. Conversely, Denver has 15 wins against the top 16 which is tied for second most in the NBA. The Warriors are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning home record. There is no intimidation here as Denver has actually won five of the last nine meetings. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after a game where they failed to cover the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 168-109 ATS (60.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (522) Denver Nuggets |

01-15-19 | Ducks -103 v. Red Wings | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the ANAHEIM DUCKS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Anaheim has gone from the top of the Pacific Division in Mid-December to completely out of the playoffs following its 11th consecutive loss, a 4-3 overtime setback at Winnipeg. The Ducks are 0-7-4 over their last 11 games, their last victory coming December 17th in Pittsburgh 4-2. They have scored just 19 goals over this stretch but they face a Detroit team that has allowed 3.30 gpg on the season, seventh most in the NHL. The Red Wins are coming off an upset win in Minnesota on Saturday which came after losing nine of their previous 10 games. Detroit has lost 16 of 25 home games this season including losses in six of its last seven. Anaheim is 13-4 after playing two straight games where seven or more total goals were scored while Detroit is 13-33 after playing a game where seven or more total goals were scored. Here, we play on road teams when the money line is -100 to -150 after allowing four goals or more going up against an opponent after a win by two goals or more. This situation is 86-38 (69.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (9) Anaheim Ducks |

01-14-19 | Pelicans v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 121-117 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. New Orleans had some momentum going with three straight wins but lost at Minnesota last time out to fall to 5-17 on the road. Two of those wins during the winning streak came against Cleveland and since a rare road win in Toronto on November 11th, the Pelicans are 0-6 on the road against winning teams. Additionally, New Orleans is 3-13 ATS off a road loss this season while going 1-14 ATS against teams making 36 percent or more of their three-point attempts this season. The Clippers have dropped two straight games, one in Denver which was not surprising but the latest at home against Detroit was a bad one. They have fallen into fifth place in the Western Conference and need a bounce back win with games against Utah, Golden St. and San Antonio on deck. Despite the loss against the Pistons, the Clippers are 17-7 ATS as favorites this season and the Pelicans fall into a negative situation where we play against road underdogs with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 after a road game where both teams scored 100 or more points. This situation is 108-58 ATS (65.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (512) Los Angeles Clippers |

01-14-19 | Texas +7.5 v. Kansas | Top | 78-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. We played on Kansas last Wednesday as it defeated TCU but the matchup is more difficult tonight and the Jayhawks are laying a bucket more. They are coming off a win over Baylor on Saturday as they were outrebounded 44-26 with a lot of that due to the season-ending injury to junior center Udoka Azubuike. With Azubuike out, the Jayhawks lack mismatches the 7-footer created and they have trouble attacking teams from three-point range. While sitting at 14-2, six wins have been decided by six points or less, including two in overtime. Texas lost to eighth-ranked Texas Tech on Saturday, and there is no shame in that. But there is no winning in that, either. Playing well for a half or so will only get you a losing record in this conference. This roster is talented enough to compete with anyone but the Longhorns have underachieved at times, including losses to Radford and VCU. Guards Kerwin Roach (13.6 ppg), Matt Coleman (10.1) and Elijah Mitrou-Long (7.5) and forwards Jaxson Hayes (10.1) and Dylan Osetkowski (9.5) provide balanced scoring for Texas. Kansas is 2-12 ATS in its last 14 games of a conference road win. 10* (873) Texas Longhorns |

01-14-19 | Wild -119 v. Flyers | Top | 4-7 | Loss | -119 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA WILD for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Minnesota is coming off a home loss against Detroit as a -233 favorite and it was not pretty as it lost 5-2 while mustering just 18 shots. The Wild were on a 4-1 run prior to that and still claim the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference over Anaheim thanks to its 11 consecutive losses. Minnesota is 20-6 in its last 26 games after a loss by three goals or more in their previous game. The Flyers have been done for a while now as they have lost nine of their last 10 games and currently reside in last place in the Eastern Conference. The Flyers are 3-14 in their last 17 when their opponent scores two goals or less in their previous game. Minnesota has two solid situations on its side. First, we play on road favorites off a home loss by two goals or more, with a winning percentage between .450 and 550 on the season. This situation is 43-11 (79.6 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, we play against home underdogs of +200 or less in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .300 and .400 after having lost three of their last four games. This situation is 51-12 (81 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (75) Minnesota Wild |

01-13-19 | Blazers v. Nuggets -4 | Top | 113-116 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Denver is coming off a brutal loss last night in Phoenix as its only lead was by one-point, it shot just 38.6 percent from the floor and committed 17 turnovers. This comes after a big home win over the Clippers on Thursday and the Nuggets return home where they have won 11 straight games, covering nine of those. That loss will get the focus back and this one is needed before hosting the Warriors on Tuesday who they lead by just a half-game in the Western Conference. The Nuggets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Portland has won four straight games and while there was a win over Houston in that mix, the last three have been rather unimpressive against three Eastern Conference teams with losing records. The Blazers have played seven of their last eight games at home and they are 8-10 on the highway this season, including 5-10 as an underdog. The Blazers are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (592) Denver Nuggets |

01-13-19 | Eagles v. Saints -8 | Top | 14-20 | Loss | -105 | 50 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS for our Sunday NFL Eagles/Saints Winner. This is the first time since 2009 that the Saints have had a first round bye and with this being one of the best home fields in the NFL, this is big for New Orleans. Since the beginning of the Drew Brees/Sean Payton era in 2006 the team has a 7-5 postseason record. Payton and Brees are 5-0 in home playoff games, including 2-0 at home in the divisional round. In those five home games, Brees threw for 1,529 yards with 12 touchdown passes against one interception and his career playoff passer rating in New Orleans is 116.8. Another big reason that New Orleans got a bye was for rest purposes as the offense started to look tired down the stretch. It was actually a two-week layoff for most starters as they rested Week 17. What Nick Foles has done has been incredible the last two seasons but this is where we feel the magic ends. Philadelphia was 6-7 and outside of the playoff picture when it turned to Foles. Including the playoffs, he has now started 12 games for Philadelphia the last two seasons, and the Eagles have won 10 of them. The Saints dominated Wentz in the first meeting this season and they should do the same to Foles this week. Philadelphia is 4-13 ATS revenging a road loss by 14 points while the Saints are 25-6 ATS in their last 31 home games against teams with a winning road record. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points that are coming off two consecutive road wins, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 25-5 ATS (83.3 percent) since 1983 with the average margin of victory being +14.1 ppg. 10* (308) New Orleans Saints |

01-13-19 | Predators -117 v. Hurricanes | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -117 | 3 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the NASHVILLE PREDATORS for our NHL Sunday Afternoon Dominator. Nashville opened this roadtrip with a loss at Detroit in overtime but rallied to win three straight before losing on Thursday at Columbus in overtime. The Predators conclude this six-game roadtrip this afternoon in a game they really could use as they are now tied with Winnipeg in the Central Division and head back home to face Washington. Nashville is 23-7 in its last 30 games after allowing three goals or more in two straight games. The Hurricanes are coming off a win over Buffalo on Friday which was their sixth win in seven games to move five points out of the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Carolina is 5-17 in its last 22 games against teams outscoring their opponents by 0.5+ or more gpg. Here, we play against home underdogs of +150 or less after having won three of their last four games, with a losing record. This situation is 80-32 (71.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (61) Nashville Predators |

01-12-19 | St. Mary's v. Loyola Marymount +6.5 | Top | 71-60 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOYOLA-MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. When it comes to teams from smaller conferences, lines are sometimes based on names since bettors do not follow these teams very closely and that is the case here. St. Mary's is off to a 10-7 start and those seven losses are already more than they have had in each of the last three seasons. The slow start should not be a big surprise as the Gaels lost three starters from last season as well as five of their top seven scorers yet they are still a public favorite. Loyola-Marymount has not been prominent in a long time but this could be a special season with all five starters back. The Lions opened 5-0 for the first time since 2003 which included wins over Georgetown and UNLV and those came without Eli Scott who is starting to get back into form. They are 8-0 at home and going back are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a losing road record. Meanwhile, the Gaels are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (760) Loyola-Marymount Lions |

01-12-19 | Blues v. Stars -136 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -136 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS STARS as part of our NHL Saturday Hat Trick. St. Louis defeated Montreal on Thursday but winning consecutive games has been rare for the Blues as they have done it just twice since early November and in both cases, the second game took place at home. St. Louis is six games under .500 despite a favorable schedule where it has played 26 games at home compared to just 16 games on the road. Going back, the Blues are 4-13 in their last 17 games following a win. Dallas is back home following a 1-2 roadtrip that concluded with a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday. The Stars have struggled to a 9-13-2 record on the road but at home, they are 14-5-2 which has kept them in third place in the Central Division, eight points behind Winnipeg and Nashville and two points clear of Colorado. Dallas is 22-7 in its last 29 home games after one or more consecutive losses. 10* (50) Dallas Stars |

01-12-19 | Cowboys +7.5 v. Rams | Top | 22-30 | Loss | -120 | 31 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS COWBOYS for our Saturday NFL Cowboys/Rams Winner. The Rams stormed out of the gate with an 8-0 record but they became pretty average the rest of the season as they went 5-3 over the final eight games. With the exception of an early season win over the Chargers, Los Angeles struggled against playoff teams as it went 3-3 in six games with the three wins coming by a combined 10 points. Jared Goff was outstanding to start the season but over the last six weeks of the season, he has dealt with much more pressure, and as the pressure came, so did his mistakes. While the regression of Goff played a big part in the second half, the defense performed pretty bad as well. In those final six games against playoff teams, the Rams allowed 33.8 ppg and on the season, the Rams allowed a higher ypc average than any other team in the league. This means Ezekiel Elliott could go off again after gaining 137 yards against the Seahawks last week. Additionally, Dak Prescott kept the Seattle defense off balance with quarterback draws and sweeps and he will utilize that again in keeping the ultra-aggressive Rams front seven on their toes which will slow the pass rush down. On the other side, if the Cowboys defense plays a similar game that they did against the Saints, they can win this game outright. This is a home game for the Rams but the stadium will not be fully Los Angeles fans. A 50/50 split that some say is coming seems unlikely as the Rams' success the past two years has strengthened their hold on the bulk of locals but 60/40 or 65/35 isn't out of the question. Dallas is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games against teams allowing 350 ypg. 10* (303) Dallas Cowboys |

01-12-19 | Spurs v. Thunder -5 | Top | 112-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. The Spurs and Thunder meet for the second time in three days in this home-and-home after a wild double-overtime game on Thursday that saw San Antonio win 154-147. Oklahoma City has now lost three straight games with the last two being games it could have won in regulation and this is a great bounce back spot. The Thunder are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. San Antonio improved to 18-5 with that win but it is just 7-13 on the road and this is the third straight home-and-home since Christmas. The first two resulted in home wins followed by road losses at Denver and Memphis. The Spurs are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points going up against an opponent off a win as an underdog. This situation is 185-117 ATS (61.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (570) Oklahoma City Thunder |

01-11-19 | Panthers +205 v. Flames | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the FLORIDA PANTHERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Florida is coming off a shootout loss last night in Edmonton as it gave up the game-tying goal to Connor McDavid with eight seconds remaining in the game. It is a tough loss to swallow, especially now facing the best team in the Western Conference but that is being taken into consideration with the odds. Florida is 21-4 in its last 25 games in the second half of the season against teams allowing 2.85 or more gpg. Additionally, the Panthers are 5-2 in their last seven games playing with no rest while going 8-2 in their last 10 games in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Calgary has won three straight games and five of six to take control of the conference but a letdown is in store here. The Flames have 15 wins against the top 16, tied for most in the NHL, including last time out against Colorado but have played down recently as they are 3-11 in their last 14 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (29) Florida Panthers |

01-11-19 | Bucks v. Wizards +6 | Top | 106-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. We played against Milwaukee on Wednesday as the Houston offense shot just 34.5 percent from the floor taking away the James Harden production and the Bucks took advantage of a big shooting night of their own. They are 10-7 on the road and while Milwaukee is 18-4 as a home favorite, it has won just seven of 13 games as a road favorite. The Bucks are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 road games after two or more consecutive wins. Washington has been stung by the injury bug but it has been playing better by going 4-2 in its last six games including a confidence-building win over Philadelphia on Wednesday. After a 0-3 start at home, the Wizards are 12-4 in their last 16 and they are 3-1 as home underdogs, the only loss coming against Boston in overtime. They are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games and fall into a solid situation where we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after having won four of their last five games, playing a team with a losing record. This situation is 101-55 ATS (64.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (546) Washington Wizards |

01-11-19 | Indiana +6 v. Maryland | Top | 75-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. The Hoosiers are coming off its first conference loss of the season as they were defeated in Michigan by 11 points on Sunday. Indiana is just 1-3 on the road but two of those losses came against the top two teams in the country while the third came by just one point at Arkansas. On Thursday, Hoosiers head coach Archie Miller said the team is hopeful it will have De'Ron Davis available in College Park and that will be a huge boost against the Maryland size advantage. The Hoosiers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. The Terrapins have won five straight games including a pair on the road in their last two to improve to 4-1 in the Big Ten. They do have a rebounding advantage but that it is as they are on the wrong side of effective offense and defense on both sides of the floor. Maryland does not force many turnovers and can be turnover prone because of its youth and decision making, so a performance similar to what the Hoosiers produced in Ann Arbor (season low 11.9 turnover percentage) is a clear key. The Terrapins are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. 10* (801) Indiana Hoosiers |

01-10-19 | Coyotes v. Canucks -123 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -123 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the VANCOUVER CANUCKS as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. Arizona opened 0-2-1 on its most recent four-game homestand but it was able to salvage the finale, a 5-0 win over the Rangers. The Coyotes have actually been better on the road than at home but its 10-9-1 record is nothing special. They are 16-36 in their last 52 road games against teams with a losing home record. Vancouver concluded its six-game roadtrip with a pair of shutout losses against Montreal and Toronto after opening 3-1. The Canucks are 4-1 this season following getting shutout while also going 4-1 in their last five games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play against road underdogs after a win by three goals or more going up against an opponent after a loss by four goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 27-4 (87.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (22) Vancouver Canucks |

01-10-19 | Clippers v. Nuggets -5.5 | Top | 100-121 | Win | 100 | 14 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Western Conference remains wide open as 5.5-games separates first place and eighth place with Denver retaining its hold on the top spot. The Nuggets are coming off a win in Miami on Tuesday and are now 6-1 following a brief two-game slide which included a loss at the Clippers by 21 points. That is by far their biggest loss of the season so payback is in order tonight. Denver is 11-1 ATS in home games after one or more consecutive wins this season, winning those games by over an average of 13 ppg. The Clippers trail Denver by 3.5 games following three straight wins although all of those were against teams with losing records. Los Angeles is a respectable 10-10 on the road but that record is deceiving as only three of those wins have come against winning teams as it is 3-9 on the season when getting points on the highway. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after three or more consecutive wins, playing a winning team. This situation is 76-39 ATS (66.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Denver Nuggets |

01-10-19 | SMU v. Connecticut -2.5 | Top | 64-76 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the CONNECTICUT HUSKIES for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. As is the case almost every year, SMU has played a very weak schedule is it is ranked No. 342 in the nation. The Mustangs have opened AAC action with a pair of wins over East Carolina and Tulane but those are the two worst teams in the conference. This is just the third true road game for SMU and the biggest test to date on the highway. The Mustangs are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games against teams with a winning straight up record. The Huskies have opened their conference schedule with a pair of losses at South Florida and at home against Central Florida, arguably the top team in the AAC. Connecticut has faced six teams ranked in the top 50, which is the most in the conference, and while it has gone just 1-5 in those games, playing those teams will help going forward. Take note that SMU is not part of that group, it is part of the group that the Huskies have gone 8-1 against. The Huskies are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (622) Connecticut Huskies |

01-09-19 | Avalanche +160 v. Flames | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO AVALANCHE for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Talk about a slide. Colorado was in prime position in the Central Division to make a run at Nashville and Winnipeg and then the wheels fell off. The Avalanche have lost 11 of their last 14 games but still hold down the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference as all but one team below them is on a losing skid as well. Of those 11 losses, three have come in overtime while three others have come by just one goal so they have been close to being on the other side. Calgary closed a 3-1 roadtrip with a pair of wins over Philadelphia and Chicago but that is not saying much and the Flames come into tonight having lost three of their last four home games. This spot is not ideal either as Calgary is 6-13 in its last 19 home games after playing two consecutive road games. Colorado falls into a great underdog situation as we play against home favorites of -200 or less that are playing six or more games in 10 days, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team in the second half of the season. This situation is 99-91 (52.1 percent) since 1996. While that percentage looks average, it is based on underdogs and has netted 52 units over that stretch. 10* (67) Colorado Avalanche |

01-09-19 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +3.5 | Top | 86-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. We played on and lost with Memphis on Monday and we are going contrarian again tonight with the Grizzlies which have lost six straight games overall and have failed to cover their last seven games. Memphis is still a game over .500 at home despite three straight defeats and while it has played the 3rd toughest schedule in the NBA, its 11 wins against top 16 teams is tied for 7th most in the league. The Grizzlies are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Spurs have won five straight games which includes a 20-point win over the Grizzlies at home on Saturday so focus could be an issue here. Additionally, they are home tomorrow against the Thunder, the first of a home-and-home with Oklahoma City. Here, we play on home teams coming off a loss against a division rival going up against an opponent after two consecutive covers as a favorite. This situation is 44-17 ATS (72.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (526) Memphis Grizzlies |

01-09-19 | Marquette v. Creighton -2.5 | Top | 106-104 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. The Bluejays opened Big East play with a win at Providence but lost at Butler by 15 points on Saturday to fall to 10-5 on the season overall. That record looks average but they have played the 6th ranked schedule in the nation as they have played 10 teams that won at least 21 games last year. They have been a great bounce back team, going 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after allowing 80 or more points. Marquette is coming off an 18-point win over Xavier on Saturday but that was at home where it is 11-0 on the season. The Golden Eagles have been blown out in their only two road games this season, including an 89-69 loss at St. John's to open conference play on January 1st. Marquette is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 games after a win by 10 points or more and here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after allowing 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 35-9 ATS (79.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (800) Creighton Bluejays |

01-08-19 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -6.5 | Top | 59-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Oklahoma is another team that came into the season unranked but it is off to a 12-2 start and has cracked the top 25. The Sooners are 1-1 in the Big XII as they bounced back from a loss at Kansas with a home win over rival Oklahoma St. on Saturday. They are 3-1 on the road and while a win at Northwestern was nice, it took overtime and the other two wins came at UTSA and Texas Rio Grand Valley. Texas Tech is now ranked in the top ten with a 13-1 record thanks to a pair of wins to open conference play over West Virginia and Kansas St. The Red Raiders only loss came against Duke in a close one. Texas Tech is 17-4 ATS in its last 21 home games after failing to cover six or seven of its last eight games. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games going up against an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games. This situation is 96-54 ATS (64 percent) since 1997. 10* (642) Texas Tech Red Raiders |

01-08-19 | Wolves v. Thunder -8 | Top | 119-117 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. This is the first game for Minnesota since the firing of head coach Tom Thibodeau and it was a tough one for players to take. Karl-Anthony Towns said Monday that "no one saw it coming" when asked about the firing. In fact, Towns said he told assistant coaches just last week that he felt the organization was gaining some much-needed stability and that he was finally feeling comfortable within his team's schemes. The Timberwolves have won two straight games so the firing did come at a strange time and getting up for this game will be difficult. The Timberwolves are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a winning home record. Oklahoma City lost at home against Washington on Sunday, the first time it had ever lost at home against the Wizards. That snapped a three-game winning streak and the Thunder remain just one and a half games out of first place in the Western Conference. They are still a solid 13-5 at home and this is a big bounceback game with a home-and-home on deck against the Spurs. The Thunder are 23-10-1 ATS in their last 34 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (510) Oklahoma City Thunder |

This is a play on the MONTREAL CANADIENS as part of our NHL Tuesday Hat Trick. We lost with Montreal last night as it fell against Minnesota 1-0 despite outshooting the Wild 32-25. That was the second straight loss for the Canadiens following a 5-1 stretch and the offense has managed just one goal in the two games. Now they get to face a horrible defense as Detroit allows 3.32 gpg which is sixth most in the league. The Canadiens are 4-0 in their last four games in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation while going 4-1 in their last five road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Detroit won for us on Friday as it won in overtime against Nashville but it failed to capitalize as it los to Washington two days later. The Red Wings are four points out of last place in the Eastern Conference as they have lost 11 of their last 13 games including losses in five of six at home. They are 8-21 in their last 29 games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game while going 14-39 in their last 53 games against teams with a winning record. 10* (53) Montreal Canadiens |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS as part of our NBA Monday Triple Play. Milwaukee is coming off a rare loss at home but it came against Toronto. The Bucks are now 18-4 at home and they have won nine of their last 11 overall and are currently one game behind Toronto for first place in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee is 18-7 ATS in its last 25 games coming off an upset loss as a favorite. Utah opened this four-game roadtrip with a loss in Toronto but has won the last two games, albeit against Cleveland and Detroit. While Utah has played the toughest schedule in the NBA, it has struggled against the top teams with 11 losses against the top 10 which is the most for any team ranked within the top 20. The Jazz are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are outscoring their opponents by 9 or more ppg, after scoring 105 points or more three straight games. This situation is 85-50 ATS (63 percent) since 1996. 10* (582) Milwaukee Bucks |

01-07-19 | Alabama v. Clemson +6 | Top | 16-44 | Win | 100 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CFP Championship Winner. In what is becoming an annual tradition, Clemson and Alabama will meet in the College Football Playoff for the fourth consecutive year, the third time in the championship game. Early money came in on the Tigers, dropping this number a point to a point and a half depending on the opening number. Alabama beat Clemson 24-6 in a semifinal last season, and the teams split their two meetings in the Championship game in 2016 and 2017. Turnovers were the difference last season as a pair of interceptions hurt Clemson and it has to avoid that this year. Alabama is talked about as being the most dominant team in the country, winning just one game by fewer than 24 points. However, since winning 28-26 at Texas A&M and 27-23 against Syracuse in the first month of the season, Clemson has won its last nine games by an average margin of 37 points. The closest game in that stretch was a 20-point win at then-No. 17 Boston College. the Tigers offense will want to keep the Tide offense off the field and they can definitely do that. The Clemson running game goes through Travis Etienne (1,572 yards and 22 touchdowns) and he averages 8.3 ypc while and the offense overall averages 6.7 ypc. On the other side, Tua Tagovailoa is currently not 100 percent healthy. He does not want to run the ball, he wants to sit in the pocket and throw the ball like he did against Oklahoma. The Tigers need to get pressure and try to make him uncomfortable. Clemson is 6-0 ATS in its last six games away from home after outgaining opponent by 175 or more total yards in two consecutive games while Alabama 0-6 ATS in its last six games away from home against teams averaging 230 or more rushing ypg. Here, we play on neutral field underdogs that are outrushing their opponents by 100 or more ypg on the season. This situation is 35-10 ATS (77.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (151) Clemson Tigers |

01-07-19 | Wild v. Canadiens -113 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the MONTREAL CANADIENS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Minnesota opened its four-game homestand with a pair of wins over Toronto and Ottawa to move to 10-10 on the road, the first time it has been at .500 on the road since December 6th. The Wild are two points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Minnesota is 4-11 in its last 15 games after scoring four goals or more in two straight games while going 4-11 in its last 15 road games against teams with a winning home record. Montreal lost in its last game against Nashville which came after a 5-1 run that has propelled it to one point behind Buffalo in the Eastern Conference. The Canadians are a game over .500 as home and going back, they are 7-0 in their last seven home games off a home loss by three goals or more. Additionally, the Canadiens are 5-2 in their last seven games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play on any teams revenging a loss of four goals or more, off a home loss by three goals or more. This situation is 46-26 (63.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (38) Montreal Canadiens |

01-06-19 | Eagles +6.5 v. Bears | Top | 16-15 | Win | 100 | 25 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES for our Sunday NFL Eagles/Bears Winner. The Eagles are back in the playoffs behind the arm of Nick Foles, who has made three starts, and a defense that has played well down the stretch. The defense has given up only 4.8 yppl in his starts (for reference, the Bears and Ravens tied for best in the NFL in the regular season, allowing 4.8 yppl), and a lot of this can be attributed to Foles and the offense in his ability to slow down the game. Facing the Bears defense will be a challenge but he was able to defeat the No. 8 pass defense of the Rams in his first start this year. We are catching an inflated number due to the Bears cover success of late as they are 9-1 ATS over their last 10 games. Chicago has impressed for sure and that defense is obviously the strength. The offense averaged just 5.6 yppl on the season and the Bears are not going to change much based on the somewhat limited Mitchell Trubisky. He has not exactly impressed since returning from his shoulder as they are averaging just 19.3 ppg and he has only four touchdowns compared to three interceptions in those four games. The Eagles are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games against defenses allowing 90 or fewer ypg rushing while Chicago is 7-18 ATS in its last 25 games off an upset win over a division rival as an underdog. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 10 points after a game where they forced no turnovers going up against an opponent after a game where they committed one or less turnovers. This situation is 55-25 ATS (68.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (107) Philadelphia Eagles |

01-06-19 | Nets -2 v. Bulls | Top | 117-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. While the top quarter of the Eastern Conference is strong, there is a lot left to be desired the rest of the way down but Brooklyn is making a move after years of futility. The Nets have won 11 of their last 14 games including two straight against Memphis and New Orleans and they are currently sitting in seventh place in the playoff standings. They have held their own on the road at 9-10 and are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games against teams with a losing home record. The Bulls are having the season many expected as they come in 10-29 including a 5-15 record at home with four of those wins coming against teams with a worst record than the Nets. They have covered five of their last seven games which is helping to keep this number in check but on the season, Chicago is 3-7 ATS at home against teams with a losing record. Brooklyn swept the season series last year and won the first meeting this season and here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 revenging a loss of three points or less, off a loss by three points or less to a division rival. This situation is 33-11 ATS (75 percent) since 1996. 10* (561) Brooklyn Nets |

01-06-19 | George Washington v. St. Joe's -12 | Top | 70-56 | Loss | -108 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. JOSEPH'S HAWKS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We are not sure what happened to St. Joseph's in its conference opener as it fell to George Mason by 25 points as a seven-point favorite. The Hawks could not buy a basket as they shot just 34.6 percent from the floor including 23.3 percent from long range but we expect a big rebound today at the expense of one of the worst teams in the conference. They are laying a big number for a reason. George Washington is 0-5 away from home and it has lost those games by an average of 22.4 ppg. This is nothing new for the Colonials as they won just two games away from home last season while getting outscored by 18.6 ppg. The situation today makes it even better as George Washington has covered five straight games while the Hawks have failed to cover in their last four games which puts this number even lower than it should be. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games going up against an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games. This situation is 96-53 ATS (64.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (812) St. Joseph's Hawks |

01-05-19 | Oilers v. Kings -105 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES KINGS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Los Angeles is coming off a pair of losses against two of the hottest teams in the NHL, losing 2-0 at Vegas followed up by a 6-2 loss at home against Tampa Bay on Thursday. The Kings have had a brutal stretch by playing 10 of their last 11 games against teams currently holding down playoff spots and they have gone a respectable 5-4-2 in those games. Goalie Jonathan Quick had a nice five-game run going where he went 4-1 with a 1.80 GAA before he was ambushed by Tampa Bay on Thursday where he allowed six goals on 33 shots. The Kings are 6-2 in their last eight games following a loss of three or more goals. Edmonton snapped a six-game slide with a 3-1 win over Arizona on Wednesday. The Oilers offense is stuck in neutral still, scoring three goals or less in six of their last seven games. Edmonton is 3-13 in its last 16 games after scoring three goals or more in three straight games. Here, we play against road teams after a win by two goals or more going up against an opponent after a loss by four goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 59-31 (65.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (16) Los Angeles Kings |

01-05-19 | Grizzlies +9 v. Spurs | Top | 88-108 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We played on San Antonio on Thursday as it hosted Toronto and Kawhi Leonard and it resulted in a wire-to-wire winner which puts the Spurs in a difficult position tonight facing a letdown. While defeating Leonard was the big focal point, DeMar DeRozan was the real story facing his former team that let him go as he posted his first career triple-double. San Antonio has played its best against top competition, going 14-4 ATS against winning teams but going just 8-9 ATS against teams with a losing record, covering just three of its last 11. Memphis has now lost four straight games after getting beat at home last night against Brooklyn. The Grizzlies are 8-11 on the road but have been fairly competitive as they have been outscored by just 2.9 ppg in those 19 games. The recent struggles have inflated this line considerably as its last road game came in Houston where it was a four-point underdog and now this road line has doubled that in some places against a team that is ranked below the Rockets in the power ratings. Here, we play against home favorites that are averaging 102 or more ppg going up against a team averaging between 98 and 102, after scoring 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 71-32 ATS (68.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (555) Memphis Grizzlies |

01-05-19 | Seahawks v. Cowboys -1 | Top | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 33 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS COWBOYS for our Saturday NFL Seahawks/Cowboys Winner. We expect to see a good deal of running the football in this matchup and the edge goes to Dallas in a strength against strength on one side and strength against weakness on the other. Seattle finished the regular season first in rushing yards per game and fifth in yards per carry so it will continue to try and pound the ball. However, this will be an excellent test against a Dallas defense ranked fifth in yards per carry allowed, led by linebackers Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch. On the other side, Dallas was ranked 10th in rushing offense led by Ezekiel Elliott who gashed the Seahawks defense with 127 yards on 16 carries (7.9 ypc) in the first meeting and this was a problem for the Seahawks all season. They finished dead last in the NFL in yards per carry average at 4.9 so Elliot should have another big game. The Cowboys are 16-4 in 20 games when he rushes for 100 yards and while one of those losses was against the Seahawks, that game was in Seattle and Dallas has only lost to Green Bay at home in those 100-yard games. The Cowboys are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game and they fall into a successful situation where we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 averaging between 18 and 23 ppg going up against a team averaging between 23 and 27, after a playing a game where 60 total points or more were scored. This situation is 38-13 ATS (74.5 percent) since 1983. 10* (104) Dallas Cowboys |

01-05-19 | Colorado v. Arizona State -7 | Top | 61-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS for our CBB Game of the Week. Arizona St. pulled off a big upset at home against Kansas but could not sustain the momentum as it lost at home against Princeton as a 14.5-point favorite and then lost by 10 points against Utah in its conference opener as an 11-point chalk. To say the Sun Devils are hungry is an understatement. Colorado also lost its PAC 12 opener at Arizona and the Buffaloes are road weary at this point with this being their sixth straight game away from home. Arizona St. falls into two superb situations. First, we play against road teams as an underdog or pickem that are averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against a team allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight games where both teams scored 70 points or less. This situation is 25-2 ATS (92.6 percent) since 1997. Second, 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 54 or more points total in their last ten games. This situation is 44-11 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (698) Arizona St. Sun Devils |

01-04-19 | Golden Knights v. Ducks +112 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the ANAHEIM DUCKS as part of our NHL Friday Hat Trick. After a slow start to the season, Vegas has started to hit its stride as it is now just two points behind Calgary for first place in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights have won four straight games and going back, they are 15-3-3 over their last 21 games so the fact they come in here favored comes as no surprise. Helping with that is Anaheim which has lost six straight games. The first four defeats all came on the road and while the last two were at home, both of those were in overtime. Anaheim was 5-1 in its previous six home games and despite this recent skid, it still holds down the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Going back, the Ducks are 17-3 in their last 20 home games revenging a road loss by two goals or more. Here, we play against teams after allowing two goals or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after losing two consecutive games in overtime. This situation is 74-43 (63.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (74) Anaheim Ducks |

01-04-19 | Mavs v. Celtics -5.5 | Top | 93-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. This is one of those games where the line adjustment is too big for a missing star player. Kyrie Irving is out for his second consecutive game and linesmakers have taken that into consideration. But based on the first meeting where Boston was a 2.5-point favorite in Dallas, that should make it an 8.5-point favorite with the change in venue so there is 3.5-point variance in this line and Irving is not worth 3.5 points. Terry Rozier got the start in place of Irving and contributed 16 points and five assists in 32 minutes as he is more than a capable backup. Dallas is coming off a rare road win at it destroyed Charlotte by 38 points on Wednesday and that was just its third road win of the season compared to 16 losses. The 38-point win skews the overall road numbers and taking that out gives the Mavericks a -7.3 scoring differential on the road and there have been losses to some very bad teams along the way. The Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a losing road record and here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points going up against an opponent off an upset win as an underdog. This situation is 183-117 ATS (61 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (526) Boston Celtics |

01-03-19 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -9.5 | Top | 59-52 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the WISCONSIN BADGERS for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. We played against Wisconsin on Saturday as it lost to Western Kentucky to fall to 2-2 on the road. The Badgers are back home where they are 6-0 and those six home games are tied for the fewest in the conference. Despite playing more games away from home than in Madison, Wisconsin is the only team with that distinction that is ranked. Wisconsin is 19-7 ATS in its last 26 games after scoring 75 points or more three straight games while going 4-0 ATS in its last four home games against teams with a losing road record. Minnesota has won five straight games but considering it did not cover any of the last four shows that record is overblown. The Gopher were favored by at least 15 points in all of those games which shows they clearly did not live up to what they were supposed to do. Now they hit the road and the venue has played a big role this season as Minnesota is 8-0 at home and 0-2 in true road games. The Gophers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after one or more consecutive wins this season while going 0-5 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (656) Wisconsin Badgers |

01-03-19 | Raptors v. Spurs -2.5 | Top | 107-125 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Spurs have had this game circled all season as they welcome back Kawhi Leonard who will be making his first visit back to San Antonio. It took some time for San Antonio to come together as a team as they had to break in eight new players this season and have gone 10-3 over their last 13 games. The Spurs have won four straight home games where they are 15-5 on the season compared to 6-12 on the road. While the Spurs will be out to get some back at Leonard, DeMar DeRozan, along with center Jakob Poeltl, were moved to the Spurs from Toronto in the trade that sent Leonard to the Raptors and this is especially big for DeRozan. Toronto has won two straight games but both of those were at home and while it is 13-7 on the road, it has lost four of its last five on the highway. The Raptors are still without guard Kyle Lowry and center Jonas Valanciunas and they are 1-3 and 1-4 respectively on the road without them during this recent stretch. Toronto is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games following a win while the Spurs are 6-0 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 58-23 ATS (71.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (520) San Antonio Spurs |

01-03-19 | Panthers v. Sabres -117 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. This line came out late because of the doubtful status of Jack Eichel who is most likely out tonight after leaving the last game with an injury but it is a spot where other players tend to elevate their play when a star player goes down. Ever since a 10-game winning streak in November, it has been a tough stretch for Buffalo as it has lost 11 of its last 15 games including the last three. The Sabres were able to salvage one point in four of those losses to remain in the playoff hunt as they currently possess the top Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Sabres are 5-2 in their last 7 home games against teams with a losing road record. Florida has won six of its last eight games including four of its last five and while it does include a win over Toronto, that was at home and the only quality road win over this stretch happened to come in Buffalo on December 18th so there is revenge in play tonight. The Panthers other road wins during this winning streak came against Chicago and Detroit twice which are a combined 30-54 and going back, the Panthers are 7-18 in their last 25 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (52) Buffalo Sabres |

01-02-19 | Colorado State v. UNLV -9.5 | Top | 76-78 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the UNLV RUNNIN' REBELS for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. UNLV is back home for the first time in over a month as its last five games have taken place on the road. The Rebels lost their two most recent home games but those were against Valparaiso and Cincinnati and they take a big step down in competition in their conference opener/ Last season, UNLV ranked 6th in the country in free throw rate, a testament to their focus on attacking the basket, aided by the 20th-best offensive rebounding percentage in the country. The free throw rate is down slightly this season but the Rebels are ranked 2nd in offensive rebounding percentage. Colorado St. is 5-8 to open the season with none of those victories coming against a quality opponent. The Rams finished 10th in the Mountain West and had the dishonorable distinction of sporting the worst defense in the league. They are not much better this season ac their .528 effective field goal percentage allowed is in the bottom sixth in the nation. The Rebels are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400 while the Rams are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on favorites off two or more consecutive losses as a favorite going up against an opponent off a home loss. This situation is 142-84 ATS (62.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (830) UNLV Runnin' Rebels |

This is a play on the EDMONTON OILERS as part of our NHL Wednesday Hat Trick. Edmonton is coming off a disaster of a homestand where it went 0-5 to increase its losing streak to six straight games. The Oilers are now 18-18-3 on the season and while their defense has allowed 4.83 gpg during the losing skid, they face one of the worst offenses in the NHL as Arizona averages just 2.51 gpg which is fourth lowest in the league. The Coyotes are coming off a 5-1 home loss to Vegas on Sunday which was their ninth loss in their last 11 home games and they have averaged a mere 2.27 gpg over that stretch. The Coyotes are 9-24 in their last 33 games following a home loss of three or more goals. Additionally, we play on road favorites in the first half of the season with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 after having lost five or six of their last seven games, playing a losing team. This situation is 63-28 (69.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (41) Edmonton Oilers |

This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. It has been a struggle since November 21st for New Orleans where it has gone 7-14 to fall four games under .500. The Pelicans put together a 5-5 record at home with only one of those wins coming against a winning team while going 2-9 on the road and overall, they are 4-15 on the highway. While they have played a difficult schedule overall, the Pelicans are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a losing straight up record while going 0-6 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. Brooklyn has stumbled in its last two games, a 13-point loss against Charlotte and a 14-point loss against Milwaukee but both of those were on the road. The Nets had won nine of 10 prior to that including a 6-1 record at home, and while they has lost their previous eight home games, six came against current playoff teams and half of those came by two points or less or in overtime. The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four games playing on three or more days rest while going 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. 10* (508) Brooklyn Nets |

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. We won with Portland in its last game as it defeated the Sixers by 34 points in a game where it led by as many as 43 points. The Blazers improved to 14-6 at home but they hit the road where they are just 7-10. Going back, they are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning home record while going 2-15 ATS in their last 17 road games after failing to cover four or five of their last six games against the spread. Additionally, Portland is 9-21 ATS in its last 30 road games after a win by 15 points or more. The Kings lost to the Lakers in their last game on Sunday which made it three straight losses on the road but they have won three games in a row at home where they are now 10-7 yet are still the underdogs as of late Tuesday morning. Sacramento is 10-5 ATS as a home underdog this season and even if it shirts to the favorite, that is more than fine as the Kings are 6-0 this season when laying points. Sacramento is 10-2 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 this season while gong 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games against teams with a losing road record. 10* (582) Sacramento Kings |

01-01-19 | Texas +12 v. Georgia | Top | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our CFB Sugar Bowl Winner. Texas is looking for its first 10-win season since 2009 and if anyone can get it done, it is head coach Tom Herman who is 12-2 as an underdog going back to his days at Houston. It was a highly successful season for the Longhorns despite losing their opener to Maryland as the other losses came against Oklahoma, Oklahoma St. by a field goal and West Virginia by a point. That is what makes this line perplexing and a lot of that is on the other side as well. Even though this was a while ago, it looks like the Georgia players and coaches may not have recovered from the Alabama fourth-quarter rally in the SEC Championship. The Bulldogs led Alabama 28-14 in the third quarter but failed to score again in a 35-28 loss. While the Sugar Bowl is a nice reward for most teams, the way Georgia lost, and the double-digit line attached makes this a very difficult situation for the Bulldogs and we all know that double-digit spreads and disappointment do not go well together. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season allowing between 16 and 21 ppg going up against teams allowing between 21 and 28 ppg, after two straight games where 60 total points or more were scored. This situation is 28-7 ATS (80 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (277) Texas Longhorns |

01-01-19 | Bruins -145 v. Blackhawks | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Boston has not been very good on the road this season as it is 8-9-4 but this is a situation it can take advantage of. The Bruins are averaging just 2.14 gpg on the road which is third lowest in the NHL but they face off against a Chicago team 3.35 gpg at home, which is the third most so something has to give and we give that edge to the better roster. The Blackhawks have won two straight games and they are 5-1 over their last six and most surprising is that all five of those wins have comes as underdogs of at least +129 so we go contrarian here despite being on the favorite. The Blackhawks are 0-4 in their last four home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400 while going in their five home games this season coming off a win by one goal. Here, we play against home underdogs of +150 or less that are being outscored by their opponents by 0.65 or more gpg, after allowing two goals or less in two straight games. This situation is 94-38 (71.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (27) Boston Bruins |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. New Orleans followed up a last second win with a loss at Houston the next night on Saturday and it looks to bounce back here before hitting the road for a pair of games. The Pelicans have gone five straight games without covering but this is a great spot to end that as they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. add to the fact Minnesota played last night in Miami where it pulled off the upset win to make it three straight road wins after opening the season 2-13 on the highway. The Timberwolves have failed to win or cover both times this season when playing the second game of a back-to-back on the road and going back, they are 0-10 ATS in road games after covering three of their last four against the spread. Additionally, the Timberwolves are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 off an upset win as a road underdog, playing a losing team. This situation is 62-31 ATS (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (572) New Orleans Pelicans |

12-31-18 | NC State +7.5 v. Texas A&M | Top | 13-52 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CFB Gator Bowl Winner. We are backing another top ranked quarterback who has a chance to show off against one of the worst pass defenses around. Ryan Finley is one of the best quarterbacks in the country and squares off against the No. 111 ranked Texas A&M pass defense. He finished the season with 3,789 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 68 percent of his passes. The Wolfpack were No. 6 in the nation in passing offense and Finley was selected to the 2018 All-ACC First Team. Bowl games are big for some teams and that is the case here for NC State which can reach double-digit wins for the first time since 2002. The Wolfpack defense put up a solid season as well and it goes up against the best running back in the SEC in Trayveon Williams who rushed for 1,524 yards, which led the conference. NC State has allowed just 109.1 ypg on 3.5 ypc on the season so they can slow him down. As mentioned, the Aggies pass defense is putrid as they allow 8.5 ypa and the Wolfpack are 6-0 ATS in their last six games against teams allowing 8.0 ypa or more. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points in a game involving two teams averaging 440 or more ypg, after gaining 525 or more total ypg over their last two games. This situation is 44-18 ATS (71 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (267) NC State Wolfpack |

12-31-18 | Islanders v. Sabres -121 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -121 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Buffalo has lost four of its last five games as the offense has struggled by scoring just nine goals over those five games. The penalty kill remains solid however which will be important in this game as Buffalo has allowed just two goal in the last 30 instances of being a man down. The Sabres have been solid at home this season, winning nine of their last 13 and on the season, they are 12-4-3. The Islanders have won three straight games and six of their last seven to climb to one-point out of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. This includes a 4-1 record on the road but going back, the Islanders are 10-25 in their last 35 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Additionally, New York is 2-12 in its last 14 games after three straight wins by two goals or more. Here, we play on home favorites in the first half of the season after one or more consecutive losses, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 117-52 (69.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (10) Buffalo Sabres |

12-31-18 | Michigan State v. Oregon -1.5 | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS for our CFB Redbox Bowl Winner. The fact that Justin Herbert is not sitting out a bowl game to get ready for the NFL Draft like other quarterbacks is one thing but the fact he is coming back next season tells a lot and Oregon can jumpstart its 2019 season right here. Oregon opened the season 5-1 and then a pair of double-digit losses at Washington St. and Arizona could have defined their season but instead the Ducks closed on a 3-1 run under first year head coach Mario Cristobal and throughout the season, Oregon to become a more balanced attack out of the pistol formation, averaging 191.3 ypg rushing to go with 254.7 ypg through the air. Scoring seven points against Michigan and six points against Ohio St. is one thing but the Spartans closed the season by scoring six points against Nebraska and 14 points against Rutgers so there is little chance to keep up here. Michigan St. is solid on defense as typical but the passing defense ranked No. 63 in the nation and they will be without the second-highest graded Big Ten corner by Pro Football Focus in Justin Layne who is sitting out to get NFL Draft ready. Here, we play on teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .800 where the line is +3 to -3 off a double digit road win, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 27-10 ATS (73 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (262) Oregon Ducks |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. The Blazers will be playing the second of back-to-back home games after falling 115-105 to the Warriors last night. They know it will be difficult to avoid another loss on their homecourt but this is a game they need to secure where they are 13-6 and six of their next seven games take place at the Moda Center. Portland has won three straight games following a loss and going back, the Blazers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. The Sixers won their last game on Thursday at Utah but they are still just 7-10 on the road. Joel Embiid is listed as questionable after missing practice Saturday because of a sore knee but that was just precautionary so he likely will play if we had to guess so his status is not a factor in this play. The Sixers are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 while going 1-8 ATS this season following one or more consecutive road wins. Here, we play against favorites in non-conference games, off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 113-63 ATS (64.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (558) Portland Trail Blazers |

12-30-18 | Colts v. Titans +3.5 | Top | 33-17 | Loss | -110 | 53 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the TENNESSEE TITANS for our NFL Sunday Night Primetime Winner. The Titans have won four in row, and their strength is their defense. Tennessee is second in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing just 18.0 ppg, and they have not yielded more than 16 points in any of their past three games. Some will scoff at that four-game winning streak considering the wins came against the Jets, Jaguars, Giants and Redskins but many will forget the two-game winning streak prior to that against the Patriots and Cowboys. Indianapolis has won eight of its last nine games but half of those wins came by a field goal or less, three coming at home and while blowout wins over Dallas and Tennessee look impressive, they were at home and the one against the Titans, Mariota left the game in the second quarter. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has owned the Titans since he entered the league. He is 10-0 against Tennessee, but Luck noted this week that the past doesn't have any impact on this game and he is 100 percent correct. Here, we play against road teams in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after one or more consecutive wins, playing a team with a winning percentage between .501 and .600. This situation is 79-40 ATS (66.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (322) Tennessee Titans |

12-30-18 | Golden Knights -125 v. Coyotes | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. Anaheim blew a 4-2 lead last night and eventually lost to the Coyotes in overtime to make it three wins in the last four games for Arizona. They are now back home playing on no rest and a 3-in-4 situation which does not favor them. The Coyotes are 11-25 in their last 36 games playing with no rest while going 1-12 in their last 13 games coming off an overtime win. Vegas will be playing with no rest as well following its 4-1 win in Los Angeles last night but it is not at a disadvantage considering both teams are travelling and roughly the same distance. The Golden Knights improved to 10-12-1 on the road and while that does not seem great, considering they lost eight of their first 11 road games, they are laying much better on the highway. Two situations are in play. First, we play against home underdogs off a road win, playing their 3rd game in four days. This situation is 35-9 (79.5 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, we play on road favorites of -100 to -150 with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 playing their 3rd game in 4 days, playing a losing team. This situation is 58-24 (70.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (63) Vegas Golden Knights |

12-30-18 | Detroit v. Cleveland State -4 | Top | 73-61 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND ST. VIKINGS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Detroit opened Horizon League play with an upset win at Youngstown St. by 12 points. That snapped a six-game losing streak for the Titans, four of which came on the road by double-digits. Detroit finished last in the conference last season with a 4-14 record and they are predicted to finish in the basement again this season. Going back, Detroit is 10-26 ATS in its last 36 games off a road win by 10 points or more. Cleveland St. meanwhile is coming off a loss in its conference opener against Oakland. The Vikings closed as a small favorite but ended up losing by 12 points as the Golden Grizzlies shot 50 percent from the floor. Cleveland St. should not have to worry about that tonight as Detroit is shooting under 40 percent for the season including 36.5 percent over its last five games. The Vikings are 6-0 ATS after allowing 80 points or more this season while going back, they are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up loss. 10* (730) Cleveland St. Vikings |

12-30-18 | Jaguars v. Texans -6.5 | Top | 3-20 | Win | 100 | 46 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON TEXANS for our NFL Game of the Month. By way of CBS Sports, the Texas have four chances to secure a first round bye but only two are realistic. First, if they win Sunday against the Jaguars and have the Patriots lose or tie, they are the No. 2 seed. Second, the Texans can also win, have the Chiefs lose, the Chargers lose and get the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Chiefs. Houston lost to Philadelphia last week but became the sixth team since 1980 to reach the playoffs after a 0-3 start on Sunday evening when Pittsburgh lost to New Orleans. The Texans will rely on Deshaun Watson who has played clean football over the past five games, throwing eight touchdown passes with no interceptions and running for three more scores. The Jaguars defense played well again against Miami but they have a bigger challenge this week and the offense continues to sputter. Jacksonville is 4-18 ATS in its last 22 games after allowing 200 or less total yards in their previous game. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season averaging fewer than 1.25 turnovers per game going up against teams forcing fewer than 1.25 tpg, after four consecutive games where they committed one or less turnovers. This situation is 52-27 ATS (65.8 percent) since 1983. 10* (314) Houston Texans |

12-29-18 | Coyotes v. Ducks -143 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -143 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the ANAHEIM DUCKS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Anaheim is thankfully back home following a 2-4 roadtrip that culminated with four straight losses. The Ducks are back home for the first time since December 12th as they looks to make it three straight home wins and approve upon their 10-4-5 record at home. The Ducks are 6-0 in their last six home games following a road trip of seven or more days. The Coyotes are coming off a loss in Los Angeles on Thursday which snapped a two-game winning streak. Arizona scored 10 goals in those two victories but it has tallied three goals or less in nine of its other 10 games since December 1st. the Coyotes are 1-6 in their last seven games playing on one day of rest. Here, we play on home favorites of -200 or less off a road loss by three goals or more, in December games. This situation is 57-27 (67.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (62) Anaheim Ducks |

12-29-18 | Hornets v. Wizards +2 | Top | 126-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Charlotte came through for us last night as it was able to get some payback against Brooklyn from a loss on Wednesday. The Hornets now hit the road as favorites despite posting a 4-10 record on the highway. This is just the second time playing with no rest going from a home game to a road game and the first resulted in a loss against Philadelphia. The Hornets are 0-5 ATS in their last five games when their starting five players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day. The Wizards have lost three straight games to add to their miserable season following a loss to the Bulls last night. The good news is they stay home and they are 2-0 both straight up and against the number playing at home with no rest. John Wall remains out and that is a big reason Washington is catching points at home. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 when playing their 3rd game in four days, in December games. This situation is 66-37 ATS (64.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (536) Washington Wizards |

12-29-18 | Notre Dame +12.5 v. Clemson | Top | 3-30 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH for our Cotton Bowl Winner. It is hard to overlook an undefeated team getting this many points and we are going to back Notre Dame in what is not only a good matchup but it has history on its side based on the fact that undefeated teams in bowl games that are getting at least a touchdowns are 12-4 ATS. As far as the matchup, Clemson is sitting at #2 in the S&P+ overall rankings and #3 in the ESPN.com overall efficiency rankings, while Notre Dame is #6 in both. The key is the underrated Notre Dame defense which is #4 in S&P+, #11 in defensive efficiency, #9 in scoring, and that it has the unit to not necessarily shut down the Clemson high-powered offense, but to slow it down, limit its time of possession, and force it to rely less on its running game. On the other side, Clemson will be tested by the Notre Dame passing game as its secondary has struggled at times. Getting to quarterback Ian Book will be more difficult as the NCAA suspensions of Clemson DT Dexter Lawrence is big as he is a key member of the teams fearsome defensive line and has 36 tackles and seven tackles for loss. The Fighting Irish are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games against team with a winning record while the Tigers are 0-5 ATS in their last five non-conference games. 10* (255) Notre Dame Fighting Irish |

12-29-18 | Nevada v. Utah +8 | Top | 86-71 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH UTES as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. It is no secret that Nevada is one of the best teams in the country and while it won and covered its two road games this season, Saturday is the biggest test thus far. The Wolf Pack have yet to lose but they have failed to cover their last four games because of being overpriced and that is the case again here. Utah is undefeated at home and has an eight-game winning streak dating back to last season. One area it has been good is getting second-chance opportunities as Utah has excellent size and grabs 30.1 percent of its misses which is a key factor against a big Nevada team that normally has an edge down low. Playing in the thin air of Salt Lake City is a big edge for the home team. Here, we play against road teams as a favorite or pickem with a winning percentage of .800 or better off a home no-cover where it won straight up as a favorite, playing a team with a winning percentage between .501 and .600. This situation is 113-65 ATS (63.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (616) Utah Utes |

12-28-18 | Mavs v. Pelicans -5 | Top | 112-114 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. A second game where immediate payback is in order and this one is even stronger for the home team based on the home/road splits. New Orleans lost by three points as Dallas won the fourth quarter 32-25 which dropped the Pelicans to 4-15 on the road compared to 11-5 at home. They come in riding a five-game losing streak, the last four coming on the highway. The Pelicans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Dallas splits are even worse as it is 2-14 on the road and 14-3 at home. New Orleans falls into the same situation Charlotte does where we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 45-16 ATS (73.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (522) New Orleans Pelicans |

12-28-18 | Canadiens v. Panthers -140 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -140 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the FLORIDA PANTHERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Montreal and Florida hit the ice following long layoffs with both riding two-game winning streaks. The Canadiens remain on the road coming off a pair of upsets at Arizona and Vegas to improve to .500 on the highway where they have a middle of the league offense, averaging 2.78 gpg. The Canadiens are 9-21 in their last 30 games following a win. The Panthers head back home in the first off a back-to-back with a visit from Philadelphia tomorrow. They are just 7-5-4 at home but have been playing a ton better after losing their first four home games to start the season. Florida averages 3.50 gpg at home which is seventh in the NHL and it has scored four goals or more in nine of its last 12 home games. The Panthers are 23-11 in their last 34 games playing on three or more days rest and they fall into a solid situation where we play on home favorites after playing three consecutive road games in December. This situation is 86-30 (74.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (30) Florida Panthers |
