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 |
|||||||
01-20-19 | 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 | 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 |
|||||||
01-19-19 | 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 | 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 |
|||||||
01-16-19 | 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 | 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 |
|||||||
01-14-19 | 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 |
|||||||
01-13-19 | 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 |
|||||||
01-12-19 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |

01-07-19 | Jazz v. Bucks -5.5 | Top | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
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 |

01-06-19 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |

01-02-19 | 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 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 |

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 |

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 | 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 |

12-29-18 | 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 | 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 |

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 |

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. We played against Sacramento last night and despite not having a lead and trailing by as many as 27 points, the Kings made it interesting toward the end of the game but still failed to cover. The Kings are a perfect 5-0 ATS this season as favorites while going 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Additionally, they are 14-2 ATS when the total is 220 to 229.5 this season. The Lakers caught a break yesterday when the LeBron James MRI came back negative but he will still miss up to two weeks and they are also going to be without Rajon Rondo tonight. they are coming off a big upset of Golden St. on Christmas and they have a game against the rival Clippers tomorrow to this is a tough spot to overlook. The Lakers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a same season loss going up against an opponent off a win by 20 points or more over a division rival. This situation is 48-19 ATS (71.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) Sacramento Kings |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Sacramento hits the road following a two-game winning streak before the Christmas break to move to three games over .500 for the season. While they have been solid on the road, seven of the Kings nine victories on the highway have come against teams with a losing record. Sacramento has covered just five of its last 16 divisional games. The Clippers are coming off a tough loss at Golden St. on Sunday as it fell by a bucket which snapped a two-game winning streak. They are currently in fifth place in the Western Conference, three games behind the Warriors and Nuggets for first place. Los Angeles is 11-4 at home including a 9-2 record when favored. The Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games against teams with a winning road record while going 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games against division opponents. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a game where they covered the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .501 and .600. This situation is 68-20 ATS (77.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (586) Los Angeles Clippers |

12-23-18 | Pelicans -1 v. Kings | Top | 117-122 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Sunday Triple Play. The Pelicans suffered their third straight loss on Friday against the Lakers and that was a difficult spot with all of the distractions surrounding the Anthony Davis rumors. They have a chance to bounce back tonight against the biggest fraud in the Western Conference and while they have been horrendous on the road, the schedule has not been in their favor by playing the toughest road schedule in the NBA. New Orleans is still ranked No. 14 in the power ratings and the Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss. Sacramento is coming off a win against Memphis on Friday to snap a two-game slide and move to two games over .500. The Kings are the only team in the Western Conference that is currently sitting in a playoff position with a negative scoring differential and its 8-7 home record is nothing to get excited about. Here, we play against home underdogs revenging a road loss of 20 points or more, off a home win by three points or less. This situation is 30-8 ATS (78.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (543) New Orleans Pelicans |

12-22-18 | Spurs v. Rockets -5 | Top | 101-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Houston had its five-game winning streak snapped in Miami on Thursday and it also lost point guard Chris Paul for at least two weeks. Clearly, the Rockets are a better team with him in the lineup but knowing he is already out helps the preparation and also helps with the line. Houston is a respectable 9-5 at home where it has won five straight while going 4-0-1 ATS in those games. The Spurs won at home last night against Minnesota by 26 points to improve to 13-5 at home. San Antonio has struggled on the road as it is 5-10, winning just twice in 10 games as a road underdog. It is 4-12-1 ATS in its last 17 road games against teams with a winning home record while going 9-23 ATS in its last 32 road games against teams averaging 106 or more ppg. Additionally, the Spurs are 0-5 in the second of a back-to-back set. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a home loss of 10 points or more, off a home win by 10 points or more. This situation is 114-63 ATS (64.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (528) Houston Rockets |

12-22-18 | UNLV v. Hawaii +1 | Top | 73-59 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the HAWAII RAINBOW WARRIORS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Hawaii is again playing host to the Diamond Head Classic and it has had the luxury of no travel since November 28 which gives it a big edge against the other seven teams in the tournament. The Rainbow Warriors are 5-1 at home so far this year with its lone loss coming to 11-1 North Texas. They are balanced as they have had a different leading scorer in each of its last six games. UNLV is coming off an upset win over BYU and this is just its third game away from home. The Rebels had lost three straight prior to that after opening the season 5-1. UNLV is without forward Shakur Juiston who was injuries two games back. He is the leading rebounder and third leading scorer on a team that is thin down low. Here, we play against road teams as a favorite or pickem after allowing 90 points or more going up against an opponent after a win by 15 points or more. This situation is 50-18 ATS (73.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (694) Hawaii Rainbow Warriors |

12-21-18 | Ole Miss v. Middle Tennessee +13 | Top | 74-56 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIDDLE TENNESSEE ST. BLUE RAIDERS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. This is the classic overreaction line based on early season performances. Mississippi has one of the best spread record at 9-1 ATS while Middle Tennessee St. is one of two teams in the country that has yet to cover a game, going 0-9 ATS. Considering the newness of the roster as Mississippi has five returners compared to seven newcomers, a first-year coach in Kermit Davis and the 2017-18 results of 12-20 overall record, 5-13 SEC mark, it has been a surprisingly good start for the Rebels. Playing a schedule ranked No. 179 in the country helps and while a win over Baylor looks impressive, the Rebels were fortunate that the Bear were 2-18 from long range and they outscored them 29-18 from the free throw line. They have been picked to again finish dead last in the SEC. The Blue Raiders have lost seven straight games and while there are no excuses, they have faced the 3rd toughest schedule in the nation. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points after three straight losses by 15 points or more. This situation is 51-21 ATS (70.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (822) Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders |

12-21-18 | Pacers -2 v. Nets | Top | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The hottest team in the NBA is definitely a surprising one as the Nets have won seven straight games and are now just a half-game out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They are coming off a win in Chicago on Wednesday and it was a fortunate three-point win as Brooklyn was able to outscore the Bulls 20-7 from the free throw line. There is no real home court advantage here as the Nets are just 7-10 including going 3-9 as underdogs. The Pacers had their own seven-game winning streak going but have since suffered back-to-back losses including a narrow three-point defeat at Toronto on Wednesday. That dropped Indiana to 9-7 on the road but that is still the second best road record in the NBA which includes a 5-1 mark as a road favorite. Indiana is 27-8 ATS in its last 35 games after having lost two of its last three games and 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 103-53 ATS (66 percent) since 1996. 10* (505) Indiana Pacers |

12-20-18 | Rockets v. Heat +3.5 | Top | 99-101 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. We played against Houston last night not knowing it was going to break the NBA record for three-pointers made in a game. The Rockets went 26-55 from long range, 16 more three-pointers than the Wizards which went down despite shooting 53.6 percent from the floor. Houston is 0-3 ATS this season when playing its second back-to-back game on the road. Miami is coming off a pair of impressive road wins at Memphis and New Orleans to conclude a 4-2 roadtrip where it covered five of those six games. The Heat have struggled at home with a 5-9 record but they are a much more respectable 2-2 as home underdogs. Miami is 9-3 ATS as an underdog of three points or more this season while going 7-1 ATS in its last eight games against teams from the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Houston is 11-25 ATS in its last 36 road games after a game where they made 55 percent of their shots or better while going 0-5 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (578) Miami Heat |

12-19-18 | Spurs v. Magic +1 | Top | 129-90 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. San Antonio concluded its six-game homestand with a 27-point win over Philadelphia to end up 5-1 and it is now back over .500 for the season. The Spurs hit the road where they are just 4-10 with two of those wins coming against Phoenix and Chicago, both of which are 7-24. San Antonio is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 road games after having won four of its last five games. Orlando has put a stop on a three-game losing streak with a pair of wins at home and while the overall home record is just 6-8, the Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams averaging 82 or more shots per game after a game where they allowing a shooting percentage of 35 percent or less. This situation is 28-8 ATS (77.8 percent) since 1996. 10* (556) Orlando Magic |

12-19-18 | Auburn +1 v. NC State | Top | 71-78 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the AUBURN TIGERS for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. NC State is back home after defeating Penn St. on a neutral floor in New Jersey on Saturday for its third consecutive win. The Wolfpack are now 9-1 on the season and despite making the NCAA Tournament last season with a 21-12 record, they are still unranked. But this is for good reason. NC State returned three starters from last year but those are the only three players that returned on the whole team so facing an elite team for the first time this season is going to show its shortcomings. Thus far, the Wolfpack have played the No. 352 ranked schedule in the country compared to Auburn which has faced a schedule ranked No. 90. And the Tigers are the real deal. They are ranked No. 7 in the nation coming off a 26-win season and the only Auburn loss this season came against Duke in the Maui Invitational over the week of Thanksgiving. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after scoring 80 points or more three straight games. This situation is 76-31 ATS (71 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (701) Auburn Tigers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The Lakers have stumbled on the start of this roadtrip, dropping two of the first three games including an 18-point loss at Washington on Sunday in a game they trailed by as many as 27 points. Los Angeles has won six of its last seven games following a loss and the Lakers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points which includes two road wins right after a road loss. Brooklyn is starting to make a move in the Eastern Conference as it has won five straight games, including impressive victories over Toronto and Philadelphia. The Nets have failed to cover seven of their last eight games against the Western Conference and we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 after trailing in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half going up against an opponent after scoring 100 points or more two straight games. This situation is 23-4 ATS (85.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (547) Los Angeles Lakers |

12-18-18 | East Carolina v. Charlotte -1 | Top | 49-55 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. The Pirates enters Tuesday's game with a 6-4 record with wins over Delaware St., Lamar, Texas-Rio Grande, Prairie View A&M, Appalachian St. and Maryland Eastern Shore, not exactly the most imposing of opponents. All of those wins have come either at home or on a neutral floor as East Carolina comes into tonight with a 0-2 record on the road. Overall, the Pirates have played the No. 351 ranked schedule in the country and that is out of 353 Division I teams. East Carolina is 0-5 ATS in its last five road games while going 0-6 ATS in its last six games following two or more consecutive wins. Charlotte is back home following three straight losses on the road and while the 49ers check in at just 2-2 at home, one of those wins came against Oklahoma St. so as long as the offense does not completely shut down, the 49ers are in good shape for a bounce back. Additionally, this is a great tune up for the Diamond Head Classic which starts on Saturday against TCU. 10* (616) Charlotte 49ers |

12-17-18 | Kings v. Wolves -8 | Top | 105-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Minnesota is coming off a four-game roadtrip and while losing to Portland and Golden St. in the first two games was expected, losing to Sacramento and Phoenix in the last two games was not. The four-game losing streak has dropped the Timberwolves two game under .500 to fall into second to last place in the Western Conference. Sacramento is tied for sixth place with Memphis and Portland as sits just four games behind Denver for first place. The Kings are coming off a win yesterday in Dallas which handed the Mavericks just their third home loss of the season and going back, they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games when playing on no rest, losing those games by 10, 21, 20 and 15 points. Minnesota is 9-0 ATS in its last nine home games against teams shooting 48 percent or better from the floor. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a loss of 10 points or more, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (534) Minnesota Timberwolves |

12-15-18 | Wolves -8 v. Suns | Top | 99-107 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Minnesota has dropped the first three games of this four-game roadtrip and it is now 2-11 on the highway for the season but the schedule has been brutal. All 11 losses have come against teams with winning records while the two wins came against losing teams and both of those were covers as road favorites. Phoenix is coming off a rare win as it won at home against Dallas for just its fifth win of the season and the Suns have failed to win or cover after its previous four victories. Phoenix is 4-11 ATS this season as an underdog of fewer than nine points while going 0-6 ATS in its last six games against teams with a losing straight up record. Here, we play on road favorites off two or more consecutive road losses, playing six or less games in 14 days. This situation is 57-28 ATS (67.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (511) Minnesota Timberwolves |

12-15-18 | Middle Tennessee +13.5 v. Toledo | Top | 62-84 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIDDLE TENNESSEE ST. BLUE RAIDERS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. Three teams currently possess 0-8 ATS records on the season and Middle Tennessee St. is one of those. The Blue Raiders have lost six straight games to fall to 3-7 on the season and after a week off, this is a good spot to get things going in the other direction. We played on Middle Tennessee St. last Saturday as it lost at home against Murray St. and while the losses are no excuse, the opposition has been brutal. The Blue Raiders have played a very tough schedule as they have played the No. 4 ranked slate in the nation. Toledo meanwhile has won seven straight games but the schedule has been a complete opposite as the Rockets have played the No. 235 schedule in the nation so this is the perfect contrarian setup as this line is set on records alone. The Rockets are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 home games against teams with a losing road record while the Blue Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. Additionally, we play on underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points after three straight losses by 10 points or more going up against an opponent after scoring 40 points or more in the first half in two straight games. This situation is 56-25 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (635) Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders |

12-14-18 | Pacers v. 76ers -4 | Top | 113-101 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Star Attraction. The Sixers are coming off a loss against the Nets on Wednesday despite shooting a potent 54.9 percent from the floor and are now 3.5 games behind Toronto in the Atlantic Division. That was just their second home loss of the season and we can expect a bounce back here as they have covered five of their last six games following a loss. Additionally, the Sixers are 24-9 ATS in their last 33 home games against teams with a winning road record. Indiana has won five straight games which is the second longest active winning streak in the NBA behind Boston and the Pacers remain in the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference, a half game ahead of the Celtics. Like Philadelphia, most of their damage has come at home and they own just one road win over this stretch which came against Orlando. Indiana lost the first meeting against the Sixers at home and going back, it is 2-12 ATS in its last 14 road games revenging a straight up loss as a favorite. Additionally, the Pacers are 3-13 ATS in its last 16 road games coming off an upset win by 10 points or more as a home underdog. 10* (574) Philadelphia 76ers |

12-13-18 | Clippers +3 v. Spurs | Top | 87-125 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Spurs have won three straight games for the first time since a four-game run in an eight-day span from Oct. 27 to Nov. 3 and reaching .500 for the first time in almost a month with a 111-86 victory over Phoenix on Tuesday. San Antonio has been solid at home with a 10-4 record but it has been far from dominant despite recent blowouts as it is outscoring opponents by just 3.8 ppg. The Clippers are coming off a 24-point home loss against the Raptors which was their fourth loss in their last six games. They have fallen from first place in the Western Conference to fourth place but they are just one game behind Denver to reclaim the spot so it has not been a drastic fall. While Los Angeles has been better at home, it is a very solid 8-7 on the road and it has been through a brutal stretch. The Clippers are nearing the end of a 17-game run without consecutive home games, a span that started Nov. 15 and finishes Dec. 17. Overall, they have played the eighth toughest schedule in the league and this is a big game with a date at Oklahoma City on deck for Saturday. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 103 or more ppg on the season going up against an opponent after scoring 55 points or more in the first half in two straight games. This situation is 130-79 ATS (62.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (561) Los Angeles Clippers |

12-12-18 | Thunder v. Pelicans +2 | Top | 114-118 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. The New Orleans loss in Boston by 13 points was bad enough but considering the Celtics played without Kyrie Irving, Al Horford and Gordon Hayward made it that much worse. That has been the problem this season with the Pelicans as they are 4-11 on the road but they head home where they are 10-4 despite coming off a 1-2 homestand and going back, the Pelicans are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Oklahoma City won for us on Monday and it has been the hottest team in the NBA by going 17-4 over its last 21 games to move into first place in the Western Conference. The Thunder have been average on the road at 7-5 and they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win. 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 64-32 ATS (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (550) New Orleans Pelicans |

12-12-18 | Massachusetts v. Temple -10 | Top | 63-65 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEMPLE OWLS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Temple is back on the court following a week off as it looks to bounce back from its second loss of the season, a 10-point loss at Villanova. The Owls are going to stoked to bounce back from that but also are glad to be back home for the first time in close to a month as their last five games have been on the road. Against Villanova, they had a four-point lead late but allowed the Wildcats to go on a 26-12 run to end the game as they were destroyed on the offensive glass. The good news is that Temple is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 games after a game with five or fewer offensive rebounds. Additionally, the Owls are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Massachusetts is coming off a one-point upset win at Providence as it rallied from a 20-point deficit which was its first true road game of the season. While that was an impressive win, the Minutemen have had some ugly losses including home defeats against Howard and Holy Cross. Do not be surprised for a letdown and going back, Massachusetts is 0-8 ATS in its last eight games after a road game where both teams scored 75 points or more. 10* (704) Temple Owls |

12-11-18 | Blazers v. Rockets -6.5 | Top | 103-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. This is an interesting line as the Rockets are off to a dreadful start yet are significant favorites behind a number they have not covered all season. They are 0-6 ATS as single-digit favorites of five or more points but we are bucking that and going contrarian tonight and against the 75 percent public consensus. Houston has lost three straight games, all coming on the road, while dropping seven of its last nine games to fall three games under .500 and it is ahead of only Phoenix in the Western Conference. Portland suffered through a three-game losing streak as well as a 1-6 stretch but it has won two straight games although both of those games came at home. The Blazers have lost four straight road games and they have been pretty ugly as the four defeats have been by an average of 23.3 ppg and they are now 5-7 on the highway. Two situations favor Houston. First, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a loss of 10 points or more and coming off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 30-9 ATS (76.9 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, we play on teams off a loss by three points or less to a division rival going up against an opponent after two consecutive covers as a favorite. This situation is 49-20 ATS (71 percent) since 1996. 10* (532) Houston Rockets |

12-10-18 | Jazz v. Thunder -5 | Top | 113-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Monday Supreme Annihilator. Oklahoma City was rolling along with four straight wins to ascend to the top of the Western Conference but then it went to Chicago and lost to one of the worst teams in the league. The loss at Chicago was bad enough but considering the Bulls lost by 57 points the next night against Boston on their home floor. The Thunder are still in first place as the Nuggets have lost two straight games and they enter tonight 9-3 at home, covering seven of their last nine, and going back the Thunder are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Utah is also coming off a loss in its last game and it happened to be last night on the road in San Antonio so the Jazz are at a disadvantage based on rest, with two fewer days, and travel. The Jazz are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games playing on no rest. They are a game over .500 on the road but this is a team they do not want to face as when they last met, the Jazz finished the night by celebrating their 4-2 NBA first-round playoff win over the Thunder so Oklahoma City will be out for some revenge tonight. 10* (518) Oklahoma City Thunder |

12-08-18 | Murray State v. Middle Tennessee +4.5 | Top | 64-42 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 27 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIDDLE TENNESSEE ST. BLUE RAIDERS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. Middle Tennessee has gotten off to a poor start this season as it is 3-6 after losing just eight games all of last season. The Blue Raiders have played a very tough schedule as they have played the No. 6 ranked slate in the nation and they head back home following a blowout loss at Vanderbilt on Wednesday. They are catching a significant number of points at home with a lot of that based on the fact the Blue Raiders have yet to cover a game this season. Murray St. is once again expected to win the Ohio Valley Conference after posting a 16-2 conference record a season ago. The Racers are off to a 4-1 start and really have not been tested yet after losing their two top players from last season. Making matters worse, senior forward Anthony Smith will miss the remainder of the season due to season-ending ankle surgery, which not only takes a toll to the Racers frontcourt depth but it also hurts their efforts on the offensive glass. Going back, the Blue Raiders are 48-21-2 ATS in their last 71 home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play on home teams after failing to cover the spread in seven or more consecutive games. This situation is 36-11 ATS (76.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (818) Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders |

12-08-18 | Nets v. Knicks -2.5 | Top | 112-104 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. The Nets pulled out a 106-105 overtime win over the Eastern Conference-leading Raptors last night, snapping an eight-game losing streak and that puts them in a very tough spot tonight. Brooklyn hits the road where it is 5-8 on the season which is far from horrendous but it is 0-7 ATS when playing its 3rd game in four days this season. New York was on a positive 4-2 run but has dropped consecutive games against Washington and Boston and it catches Brooklyn at the perfect time. The Knicks are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and they have two situations on their side. First we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 against division opponents, off a road loss by 10 points or more. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, 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 s 103-51 ATS (66.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (710) New York Knicks |

12-07-18 | Nuggets v. Hornets +1.5 | Top | 107-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Denver continues to roll as it has now won seven straight games to maintain its half-game lead over the Thunder for first place in the Western Conference. The Nuggets have covered all seven games as well but it has been a tough stretch on this roadtrip as nothing has been easy with the first two wins coming by four combined points and then needing overtime to defeat Orlando on Wednesday. The fact they are having this success is surprising considering they are without Gary Harris and Will Barton who are averaging a combined 33.1 ppg and the depleted backcourt will have a difficult matchup tonight. Charlotte has dropped its last three games to fall two games under .500 and it is back home where it is 8-5 on the season and outscoring opponents by 7.5 ppg. The Hornets have won four of their last six home games including impressive wins over Boston and Milwaukee so this would mark their third win over a top five team this season. Charlotte is 8-1 ATS this season as an underdog of fewer than seven points on the season. Here, we play on underdogs with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 after being beaten by the spread by 30 or more points total in their last three games, playing a winning team. This situation is 46-19 ATS (70.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (506) Charlotte Hornets |

12-06-18 | Knicks v. Celtics -13 | Top | 100-128 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. Boston is starting to turn the corner as it has won three straight games following a 4-8 stretch but there is still plenty of work to be done. The Celtics are 13-10 and trail Philadelphia by 2.5 games and Toronto by 6.5 games in the Atlantic Division. The schedule has not been on their side as they have played the No. 7 ranked schedule in the league where 14 of their 23 games have taken place on the road. Boston is 6-3 at home and one of those losses came against New York just over two weeks ago so payback is in order and Boston is 25-7 ATS in its last 32 games revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points. The Knicks are what everyone expected as while they have shown some good moments, they have been pretty much below average. They are 4-10 on the road including 3-10 as underdogs. The Knicks have been double-digit underdogs five times and while one win came against Boston, the four losses have been by an average of 17.2 ppg. New York will be without Trey Burke who was the key in that win over the Celtics as he put up 29 points and 11 assists. Here, we play on home teams after two straight games attempting 10 less free throws than opponent going up against an opponent after a game making 12 or more three-point shots. This situation is 28-7 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (702) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Iowa St. is off to a 7-1 start including wins in four straight games but it finds itself in a tough spot against a better rival on the road. This is the first true road game for the Cyclones and they are catching Iowa at the wrong time. After starting the season 6-0 and rising to No. 14 in the AP Top 25 poll, the Hawkeyes have lost their first two conference games and been exposed in the paint. In losses to Michigan State and Wisconsin, the Hawkeyes were outscored 86-46 in the paint. Iowa St. has three players 6-9 and taller so it can do similar damage but that will not be the case according to head coach Steve Prohm as the Cyclones have relied on a four-guard rotation and they are sticking to it because of the early success. Iowa St. is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 road games after two straight games allowing its opponent to shoot 37 percent or worse while the Hawkeyes are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Here, we play on underdogs off a loss by 10 points or more to a conference rival going up against an opponent after two straight covers as a double digit favorite. This situation is 108-60 ATS (64.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (714) Iowa Hawkeyes |

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Clippers bounced back from their loss on Sunday at Dallas with a solid win over New Orleans on Monday to remain tied with Denver for first place in the Western Conference. Los Angeles moved back over .500 on the road with the victory but at 7-6, the Clippers have been very inconsistent and they are in a tough spot against a desperate team for a victory. The Clippers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. The Grizzlies are 1-4 in their last five games, with their one victory coming against the Brooklyn Nets in double overtime. They are 7-3 at home on the season but they are riding a two-game losing skid with the most recent loss coming against 20-5 Toronto. This is a good spot for a bounceback as they are rested with this being just their fourth game in nine days while the Clippers are playing their third game in four nights and fifth game in eight days. The Grizzlies are 6-0 ATS in their last six games playing on two days rest while going 7-2 ATS on the season when favored by fewer than eight points. 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 101-51 ATS (66.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (518) Memphis Grizzlies |

12-05-18 | VCU v. Texas -10 | Top | 54-53 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. While it is still early in the season, this is a big game for Texas to get its season back in order. The Longhorns defeated North Carolina on November 22 and then blew an eight-point halftime lead against Michigan St. the next day and that seemed to carry over in their return home a week later as they lost to Radford. While a loss like that looks horrible, it was not as bad since Radford is the team to beat in the Big South Conference but that is still a team Texas should never lose to. With Purdue on deck, now is the time to get right. VCU looks about like what you would expect as the Rams are very good defensively, are athletic, and typically play 11 guys. However, they have struggled with shooting and with turnovers and coming into the season were picked to finish 6th in the Atlantic Ten Conference. Their typical style of defense is to pressure the passing lanes, which tends to open up driving lanes of the sort that Texas has been able to exploit this year, such as in the game against North Carolina. The Rams are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning home record while Texas is 22-11 ATS in its last 33 games coming off a game as a home favorite. 10* (558) Texas Longhorns |

12-04-18 | Kings v. Suns +6.5 | Top | 122-105 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Phoenix possesses the worst record in the NBA at 4-19 and while it is nothing to be proud of, the Suns have played the second toughest schedule in the NBA behind only Utah. They have played the most games against top ten teams (13) so the fact they have gone 1-12 in those games should come as no surprise. The four wins have been pretty impressive as they came against Milwaukee, San Antonio, Memphis and Dallas and they take a big step down in competition tonight as Sacramento is ranked No. 24 compared to No. 28 Phoenix and the power ranking differential shows the Kings would be a five-point favorite on a neutral court so we are catching four points of value based on this game being in Phoenix and it is skewed because of injuries. Sacramento has been up and down all season and it is coming off a home win over Indiana on Saturday. The Kings have been favored just once all season and that was by just 2.5 points at Atlanta. The Kings are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games against the NBA Pacific Division. Here, we play on teams in a game involving two teams averaging 102 or more ppg, after three straight losses by 10 points or more. This situation is 51-18 ATS (73.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (708) Phoenix Suns |

12-04-18 | Northeastern v. Syracuse -12 | Top | 49-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the SYRACUSE ORANGE for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. After suffering a pair of bad losses against Connecticut and Oregon, Syracuse has bounced back with three straight wins including an impressive 10-point win at Ohio St. That victory is a likely reason the Orange put up a lethargic effort on Saturday against Cornell as they won by just eight points as 21.5-point favorites. We will see a better and more focused effort tonight as they need to start clicking on a more consistent basis and this is even more so considering they have a big game against Georgetown on deck. Northeastern got off to a 2-4 before winning its last two games against fairly poor opposition and the Huskies take a big step up tonight. They are picked to win the CAA this season as they bring back all five starters from their 23-win team last year. The problem is that two of those are out as the backcourt duo of Vasa Pusica and Shawn Occeus, who averaged a combined 28.7 ppg, are both on the shelf with injuries and those losses are significant here in this matchup when trying to solve the 2-3 zone. Syracuse is struggling from the field with a .419 shooting percentage including .291 from long range but they face a poor defense as Northeastern is allowing opponents to shoot 49 percent including 37.2 percent from behind the arc. 10* (720) Syracuse Orange |

12-03-18 | Nuggets +7 v. Raptors | Top | 106-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. This line came out late due to the injury concern of Toronto guard Kyle Lowry who missed the last game but he has been improved to probable for tonight. The Raptors have won eight straight games and are now 20-4 overall, the best start in franchise history. They have covered only half of their games however and that is because they are being overvalued at this point and that is the case again tonight. the Raptors are outscoring opponents by 8.8 ppg but Denver is not far behind as it is outscoring opponents by 7.7 ppg following its fifth straight win on Friday. The Nuggets are 15-7 overall and tied with the Clippers for first place in the Western Conference. The schedule has been far from easy and Denver owns eight wins over teams ranked No. 16 or better and that is the most in the NBA. The Nuggets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while the Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points well rested team, playing four or less games in 10 days, in December games. This situation is 36-13 ATS (73.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (507) Denver Nuggets |

12-02-18 | Clippers v. Mavs +2.5 | Top | 110-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. The Clippers remain atop the Western Conference as they have won four straight games to maintain their half-game lead over Denver. They won in Sacramento in their last game but they are just 6-5 on the road with half of those wins coming against teams with a losing record. The Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Dallas has just one loss against the top ten teams in the NBA which is the fewest of any team in the league and it has home wins over Oklahoma City, Golden St. and Boston. The venue has played a big part in the Mavericks 10-10 season as they are 8-2 at American Airlines Center and overall, the home team is 16-4 in the 20 Dallas games on the year. Dallas has won and covered six straight games at home. The Mavericks lost against the Lakers on Friday by 11 points but going back, they are 18-5 ATS in their last 23 games coming off a double-digit loss. 10* (712) Dallas Mavericks |

12-01-18 | Oregon v. Houston -3 | Top | 61-65 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON COUGARS for our CBB Saturday Supreme Annihilator. After a solid win over Syracuse, Oregon put up a lethargic effort against Green Bay and that spilled over into a home loss against Texas Southern on Monday as a 25-point favorite. A bounce back would be typical but not in the first true road game of the season and against a quality opponent. Houston is 5-0 with all five wins coming by double digits including an impressive one at BYU by 14 points. Oregon is 5-14 ATS in its last 19 games against teams who make eight or more three-point shots per game on the season while Houston is 21-9 ATS in its last 30 games as a home favorite of three points or less. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams that are outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg after scoring 80 points or more three straight games. This situation is 71-30 (70.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (596) Houston Cougars |

12-01-18 | Warriors -5 v. Pistons | Top | 102-111 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Golden St. put up a solid effort in Toronto on Thursday but lost in overtime which was its fifth straight road loss but the return of Steph Curry after an 11-game absence is just what it needs at this point. The Pistons are coming off a win last night against Chicago and while their 12-7 record may look good, playing the easiest schedule in the NBA has played a big role in that. Their last five wins have come against losing teams and the Pistons are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points while the Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last six games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Additionally, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a loss by three points or less going up against an opponent after scoring 105 points or more. This situation is 48-19 ATS (71.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (503) Golden St. Warriors |

11-30-18 | Nuggets v. Blazers -2.5 | Top | 113-112 | Loss | -103 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Friday Star Attraction. Portland is coming off a win over Orlando on Wednesday which snapped a three-game losing skid but the Blazers failed to cover which was their fifth straight ATS loss. Portland improved to 13-8 which is good for fifth place in the Western Conference and it trails the first place Clippers by just two games. The Blazers are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 home games against division opponents while going a perfect 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after a win by three points or less over the last two seasons. Denver defeated the Lakers on Tuesday to make it four straight wins following a 1-6 run and the Nuggets are now 14-7 overall which is just a game out of first place in the Western Conference. They have covered all four of these games as well and the opposite ATS run are playing into this line. Like Portland, Denver has dominated at home but has struggled on the road and going back, the Nuggets are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 road games coming off a home win. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 after allowing 85 points or less going up against an opponent after allowing 100 points or more five straight games. This situation is 33-9 ATS (78.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (722) Portland Trail Blazers |

11-30-18 | Wisconsin v. Iowa +2 | Top | 72-66 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Friday Supreme Annihilator. Iowa was picked to finished 11th in the 14-team Big Ten Conference following a dreadful 2017-18 season where it went 14-19 overall including 4-14 in the conference, one game ahead of Rutgers for last place. Fast forward to this season and quality wins over Oregon, Connecticut and Pittsburgh has got the Hawkeyes back on the national radar as they come into tonight ranked No. 14 in the nation after coming into the season unranked and not even receiving one top 25 vote. Iowa returned all five starters so this team is experienced and they are showing it by averaging 85.3 ppg. Whether it is a more experienced roster that includes Ethan Happ and D'Mitrik Trice playing at high levels, the tweaks to the scheme or a combination of the two, the Wisconsin offensive numbers have been positive early the season. The Badgers finished last season with an adjusted offensive efficiency rating of 109.7, according to Ken Pomeroy and that was the second-lowest mark in the KenPom era, which dates to the 2001-02 season. So we are not sure if the Badgers can keep it up and we know that the 60 percent long-range shooting from Trice will not hold up. 10* (736) Iowa Hawkeyes |

11-29-18 | Clippers v. Kings +2.5 | Top | 133-121 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. The solid start for the Kings has taken a step backward but all is not lost. They are 10-10 but the Western Conference is wide open as Sacramento is just a half-game out of the final playoff spot and is only four games out of first place. The Kings are 5-4 at home and going back, they have covered seven of their last 10. They have dropped two in a row but have been off since November 25th which gives them a big rest advantage as the Clippers are coming off a game last night. Los Angeles leads the Western Conference at 14-6 as it has won three straight and eight of its last nine games. The Clippers are 9-1 at home but just 5-5 on the road although they have won three of their last four on the highway. The Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a winning home record while the Kings are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Additionally, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 after scoring 110 points or more going up against an opponent after a combined score of 235 points or more. This situation is 50-21 ATS (70.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (504) Sacramento Kings |

11-28-18 | Wizards v. Pelicans -6 | Top | 104-125 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. New Orleans suffered through a 0-3 roadtrip wrapped around Thanksgiving and it returned home with an 8-1 record looking to bounce back but took its fourth straight loss, a 17-point setback against the Celtics. The Pelicans caught Boston at a bad time coming off a 1-4 run and the spot is much better tonight with New Orleans being the more desperate team and playing with revenge from a 10-point loss in Washington on Saturday. The Pelicans are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Washington win over New Orleans was the first of two victories in its two-game homestand, the second coming against Houston in overtime where it rallied from a 17-point deficit. The Wizards shot 56.2 percent from the floor highlighted by the disgruntled backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal shooting a combined 25-42 and scoring 68 points and do not expect a repeat. The Wizards are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning home record. Additionally, we play on home teams revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, coming off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a home favorite. This situation s 55-24 ATS (69.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (716) New Orleans Pelicans |

11-28-18 | San Diego +7.5 v. Ole Miss | Top | 86-93 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN DIEGO TOREROS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. The public is all over Mississippi tonight as it is the second biggest consensus on the college hoops board and the only logical reason is a shorter than expected number for a power conference school playing a mid-major. The Rebels are young and are projected to finish in last place in the SEC and they are still feeling the aftermath from last year when long time head coach Andy Kennedy resigned during the season. San Diego is 5-1 with a home win against Colorado and a three-point loss at Washington and is ranked No. 65 in the NCAA's "Net Rankings," its new metric designed to help choose postseason at-large bids. While it may not be perfect, the fact that Mississippi is ranked No. 93 shows that the Rebels are totally overvalued here. The Toreros won 20 games last season and while their coaching situation is similar after Lamont Smith resigned after the regular season last year, they carried forward under Sam Scholl and made a CIT run which brought momentum into this season. Four starters are back as well as 81 percent of their scoring so this team is loaded. 10* (735) San Diego Toreros |

11-27-18 | Raptors v. Grizzlies +5 | Top | 122-114 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Toronto lost three straight games after a 12-1 start to the season but it has since bounced back with five straight wins, none of which were against teams with a winning record. The Raptors, who swept a four-game Western swing earlier this month, will have to deal with a division-leading club without looking ahead to a nationally televised showdown with Golden St. on Thursday. Toronto has played the second easiest schedule in the league as it has gone 12-1 against non-top 16 teams, it is a more pedestrian 5-3 against teams ranked within the top 16. Memphis has lost two in a row, after a five-game winning streak that included a win over Milwaukee. The Grizzlies are coming off an embarrassing home loss against the Knicks on Sunday but they are still 7-2 at home and going back, the Grizzlies are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning straight up record. They also fall into a solid situation where we play on home underdogs with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 coming off an upset loss as a favorite. This situation is 62-30 ATS (67.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) Memphis Grizzlies |

11-27-18 | Nevada -4 v. Loyola-Chicago | Top | 79-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEVADA WOLF PACK for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. Nevada will be out for some payback after losing in the Sweet 16 to Loyola-Chicago last season. The Wolf Pack are now ranked No. 5 in the nation which is probably to the surprise of many but they are legit and have won all six games by at least 10 points. Nevada is coming off a 110-87 victory over UMass in the title game of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Holiday Invitational Friday night. This is their first true road game of the season but after going 11-3 on the road last season with the same core, this is not a problem. The Ramblers are coming off a loss against Boston College down in Fort Myers to fall to 4-2 on the season. There is still talent left over from the Final Four team from a season ago but they lost more than the Wolf Pack did and the matchup will be different this time around. Nevada is not the fastest-playing team (118th in tempo), but it will have the athletic advantage in this one and would like to get the game moving. A lot of that will come down to either forcing turnovers or getting stops and running off misses. If this game gets into the 80s, it is a huge edge for the Wolf Pack. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg, after allowing 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation s 34-9 ATS (79.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (523) Nevada Wolf Pack |

11-26-18 | Bucks v. Hornets +5 | Top | 107-110 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Charlotte lost its season opener at home against Milwaukee by a single points where it was getting three points and now it getting a bucket more in the second meeting. The Hornets fell back below .500 for the season after a pair of road losses at Oklahoma City and Atlanta, the latter coming last night. This is the third instance of a back-to-back for the Hornets and they were able to cover the both previous games. Additionally, Charlotte is 7-0 ATS as an underdog of fewer than seven points. Milwaukee concluded its six-game homestand with a win against San Antonio on Saturday to finish 4-2 and move to 10-2 at home overall. The Bucks are just 4-3 on the road and going back, they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record. Additionally, Milwaukee is 9-21 ATS in its last 30 road games off a home win. The Hornets fall into a solid situation as 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 92-50 ATS (64.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (704) Charlotte Hornets |

11-26-18 | Nebraska v. Clemson -3 | Top | 68-66 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
This is play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CBB Monday Supreme Annihilator. The Tigers are coming off an 87-82 loss to Creighton in the championship game of the Cayman Island Classic last Wednesday. The Tigers won their first five games prior to that including impressive wins over Akron and Georgia and they are now up to No. 16 in the AP Poll. This is a very experienced team with four fifth-year senior starters and three of those nearly left after last season to go pro but all three changed their minds including the backcourt of Marcquise Reed and Shelton Mitchell, which currently lead the team in scoring at a combined 34.5 ppg. Clemson is 8-1 ATS in its last nine games after scoring 80 points or more. Nebraska is coming off a 73-49 win over Western Illinois on Saturday, less than a week after getting trounced by Texas Tech 70-52 in the championship game of the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City. The Huskers are also ranked at No. 24 and this will now be their first true road game of the season. Nebraska is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games after playing four consecutive games as favorite while going 7-19 ATS in its last 26 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Additionally, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg, after allowing 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation s 34-8 ATS (81 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (716) Clemson Tigers |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. We played against Portland on Friday as it fell victim to a desperate Golden St. team but we are going to back the Blazers tonight as they head back home following a six-game roadtrip. They went just 2-4 in those six games to fall to 5-5 on the highway but they have won four straight games at home and are 7-2 on the season with the two losses coming by a combined five points. Portland is 8-2 ATS this season when favored by fewer than seven points while going 9-2 ATS in its last 11 home games against teams with a losing road record. The Clippers lost in Washington on Tuesday after blowing a 24-point lead but bounced back with a win against Memphis on Friday and they are now 6-1 over their last seven games. They are 4-5 on the road for the season and the last three wins came against Orlando, Brooklyn and Atlanta. The Clippers are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (516) Portland Trail Blazers |

11-24-18 | Nuggets v. Thunder -5.5 | Top | 105-98 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Oklahoma City has turned things around after a 0-4 start as it has gone 12-2 over its last 14 games including a win last night against Charlotte. The Thunder overcame a poor shooting night from Paul George to win their seventh straight home game where they have covered five of their last six. Additionally, the Thunder are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Denver is on a two-game winning streak following a 1-6 stretch after taking care of Orlando last night by 25 points. While this is the second game of a backpack for both sides, the Nuggets are at the big disadvantage of having to travel. They are 1-5 ATS in their last six games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 4-15 ATS in their last 19 road games off a home win. Oklahoma City falls into a solid situation where we play on favorites after a home game where both teams scored 100 or more points going up against an opponent off a home win by 20 points or more. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (708) Oklahoma City Thunder |

11-23-18 | Blazers v. Warriors -1.5 | Top | 97-125 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Golden St. is riding a four-game losing streak, the first time in the Steve Kerr era that the Warriors have lost four straight games. It has been an ugly run for the offense as it has scored 95 points or less in three of those games after scoring less than 100 points only once in the first 15 games. Obviously, the absence of Steph Curry has played a big role in this but there is more than enough on this team to make up for him and we expect that to happen tonight. The Blazers are coming off a 43-point loss at Milwaukee to fall to 2-3 on this roadtrip and 5-4 on the road overall. They are heading to Golden St. at the wrong time and going back, the Blazers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a winning home record. Additionally, we play on single-digit favorites that are shooting 48 percent or better on the season going up against an opponent after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 75-44 ATS (63 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (528) Golden St. Warriors |

11-22-18 | Northwestern -6 v. Fresno State | Top | 59-78 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. After making its first ever trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2017, Northwestern took a big step back last season as it finished 15-17. Injuries played a big role along with the fact the Wildcats had to play their home games at Allstate Arena in Rosemont as Welsh-Ryan Arena was undergoing renovations. They are back to their regular home and opened the season with three straight blowout victories, albeit against some very poor opposition. Still, they have three starters back, bring in a pair of graduate transfers including Ryan Taylor who led the MVC in scoring last season with 21.3 ppg while at Evansville and welcomed a very strong freshman class. Fresno St. opened the season with a blowout win over Alaska in a glorified exhibition and then hit the road and was thoroughly outplayed at TCU. The Bulldogs have just two starters back from its 22-win team and are also breaking in a new head coach in Justin Hutson who has no head coaching experience. Fresno St. will struggle in this matchup with the defense of Northwestern as well as giving up too many easy looks down low. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points coming off a home win by 10 points or more, in the first five games of the season, after closing out last season with four or more straight ATS losses. This situation is 51-21 ATS (70.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (727) Northwestern Wildcats |

11-22-18 | Auburn -8 v. Arizona | Top | 73-57 | Win | 100 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the AUBURN TIGERS for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. Auburn hung around with Duke last night before eventually falling by six points and we expect a bounce back tonight in the consolation game of the Maui Invitational. The Tigers shot just 36.4 percent from the floor but the defense did its part by holding the Blue Devils to 44.2 percent and the difference was at the free throw line where Auburn went to the stripe only nine times, making five of those while Duke was 23-34. The Tigers possess of the best backcourt duos in the nation in Bryce Brown and Jared Harper, two seniors that were All SEC players last season. Arizona could be in for a rough season and it is coming off its first loss of the season yesterday, a 17-point blowout loss against Gonzaga. The Wildcats lost all five starters from last season and had a few top rated recruits decommit following the FBI probe so only six players were on the roster following its early exit from the NCAA Tournament. Going back, the Wildcats are 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Auburn falls into a great situation taking experience into account as we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (in a game involving two teams who had winning percentage between .600 and .800 from last season, with three or more starters returning from last year than opponent. This situation is 27-6 ATS (81.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (577) Auburn Tigers |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. We are seeing a slight reverse line move in this game as New Orleans has gotten 70 percent of the offshore action, yet the line has risen a half-point to one-point since opening at -3.5. There is a consensus on the Sixers as they are 9-0 at home, the lone remaining team in the league that has yet to lose at home but things have been tight as of those nine victories, five have come by six points or less with three of those coming by just a bucket. New Orleans has also won three straight games and it is 6-1 in its last seven games following a six-game losing skid but those defeats came against Western Conference teams currently holding down playoff spots, five coming on the road. The Pelicans are just 2-6 on the road, which questions the line even more and that is why we are going contrarian here. New Orleans is 14-4 ATS in its last 18 road games after scoring 120 points or more while the Sixers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a win. Additionally, we play on road underdogs after allowing 100 points or more in two straight games going up against an opponent after three straight wins by six points or less. This situation is 32-9 ATS (78 percent) since 1996. 10* (501) New Orleans Pelicans |

11-20-18 | Washington -3 v. Texas A&M | Top | 71-67 | Win | 100 | 15 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. While Washington is considered the road team here in this neutral site game, the location gives it the big edge where the venue is being taken into consideration. The Huskies easily took care of Santa Clara in the first round of the Vancouver Showcase on Sunday to improve to 3-1 on the season and while the defense struggled in the lone loss at Auburn, this is becoming a staple. Head coach Mike Hopkins won 21 games in his first season at Washington and while it took a while to get going, the Huskies found their form and they should be even better this season. Hopkins brought over the 2-3 zone from his days at Syracuse and while it took a while for the players to pick up on the new concept, this is not the case this season with all five starters back and the top eight in minutes played from last season. On the other side, Texas A&M lost a ton of experience from its Sweet 16 team as three double-digit scorers departed along with a key senior. Two starters are back but one has yet to suit up as Admon Gilder, who was their second leading scorer, leading three-point shooter and leading free throw shooter from last season, remains out with a hamstring injury. Here, we play on teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .800 where the line is +3 to -3 after failing to cover the spread in three or more consecutive games, playing a team with a losing record. This situation is 30-9 ATS (76.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (767) Washington Huskies |

11-20-18 | Nets v. Heat -3 | Top | 104-92 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. Despite a 6-10 record, Miami is just 2.5 games behind Orlando thanks to the Southeast Division being the worst in the NBA from top to bottom. The Heat have lost two straight following an embarrassing 16-point loss against the Lakers on Sunday and that was their fourth straight loss at home, dropping them to 3-6 on their home floor for the season. The early struggles are keeping this line down however as Miami was favored by two points over Brooklyn on the road six days ago and is now favored by just one point more despite the change in venue. Brooklyn lost to the Clippers on Saturday for its fourth loss in five games to fall to 7-10 on the season. The Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last five games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game while Miami is 24-10 ATS in its last 34 games after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games. Additionally, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are shooting between 43.5 and 45.5 percent going up against teams allowing between 43.5 and 45.5 percent shooting, after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 48-21 ATS (69.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (708) Miami Heat |

11-19-18 | Clippers v. Hawks +8 | Top | 127-119 | Push | 0 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Hawks return home following a four-game roadtrip where they played four teams ranked within the top 12 of the league and they were competitive with the exception of the one game in Denver. Atlanta has now lost seven straight games and possess the second worst record in the league but the schedule has a tough one as 10 of their first 16 games have come on the road. And now they catch their largest number at home against an overrated Clippers team that is coming off a very fortunate victory. They trailed the Nets by seven points heading into the fourth quarter but outscored Brooklyn 37-22 in the final period to make it four straight wins. That was just the third road win for Los Angeles and are in a spot where they have struggled as the Clippers are 11-24 ATS in their last 35 games as road favorites of 6.5 to 12 points. Additionally, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in non-conference games, coming off three or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 30-7 ATS (81.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (510) Atlanta Hawks |

11-18-18 | Knicks +4.5 v. Magic | Top | 117-131 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Orlando is coming off one of its best games of the season as it scored a season-high 130 points in its 13-point win over the defenseless Lakers. The Magic have now won two straight, four of five and six of their last eight games but coming off a glamour game like last night, this presents a huge letdown situation. The Knicks are off to an expectedly poor start as a loss in New Orleans on Friday was their fourth straight and sixth in their last seven games. New York is one of two teams yet to record a win over a top 16 team as it is 0-7 but is a much more respectable 4-5 against the rest of the league and that is where Orlando falls. Orlando has been favored only twice all season and failed to cover either of those games. Here, we play on road underdogs after failing to cover five or six of their last seven games against the spread going up against an opponent after having covered two of their last three games against the spread. This situation is 151-92 ATS (62.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (707) New York Knicks |

11-17-18 | 76ers v. Hornets -2.5 | Top | 122-119 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. This has been a surprisingly lopsided series with the Sixers having won the last eight meetings including two this season. This looks to be the time that the Hornets finally strike back as they bring in a 4-2 home record and have been off for three days following an embarrassing 24-point loss at Cleveland where they were actually favored by nine points. Charlotte is 5-1 ATS this season coming off a loss including four covers in a row. The Sixers played last night and won their eighth straight game at home to open the season to remain the lone team that has yet to lose at home. Philadelphia is just 2-7 on the road however and in the second of a back-to-back, it would not be surprising to see Jimmy Butler or Joel Embiid rest tonight, both of which are coming off big games last night. Going back, the Sixers are 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 and here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after one or more consecutive unders and outscoring their opponents by 3.0 or more ppg. This situation is 63-29 ATS (68.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (510) Charlotte Hornets |

11-16-18 | Nets +7 v. Wizards | Top | 115-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. After a miserable start to the season, Washington has found its footing with three straight wins, the first time it has won consecutive games all season. The Wizards opened 2-9 with questions surrounding the chemistry between john Wall and Bradley Beal, who have been together for seven years, but they are showing why they still work well together. That being said, Washington is a team that cannot be trusted laying a number like this for a third consecutive game especially with the next four games coming against teams .500 or better. Brooklyn is just a half-game worse than Washington after suffering its third straight loss but it comes in a respectable 4-4 against the Eastern Conference compared to going 2-5 against the Western Conference. The defense has been non-existent over this recent stretch but going back, Brooklyn is 13-2 ATS in its last 15 road games after allowing 110 points or more three straight games while going 6-2 ATS in its last eight games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games following an ATS win. Here, we play on road underdogs after three straight games where both teams scored 100 points or more going up against an opponent after scoring 110 points or more three straight games. This situation is 39-17 ATS (69.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (701) Brooklyn Nets |

11-16-18 | St. John's v. Rutgers +3.5 | Top | 84-65 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS for our CBB Friday Supreme Annihilator. Rutgers has played Fairleigh Dickinson and Drexel, blowing both teams out. Neither of those squads are expected to be major players in their conference, but Rutgers did display some intriguing scoring, shooting 56 percent clip from beyond the arc and assisting on 60 percent of their made shots. 6'7", 234 pound Eugene Omoruyi shot 0-16 from outside the arc in his first two seasons and in two games this year, he is 6-7. St. John's is a talented team, but Rutgers usually plays local teams tough at home and this team has that youthful confidence to play loose. Based on the first two games, it should be clear that Rutgers is moving towards a Michigan type offense that can mix and match multi-skilled players on the perimeter, making them a matchup nightmare for opponents. The Red Storm have won their first two games as they are led by Mustapha Heron and Shamorie Ponds who are each averaging 20.5 ppg. St. John's struggled in its last game as it was favored by 18.5 points over Bowling Green but won by just four points and now it hits the road for the first. The Red Storm are 0-6 in their last six road games after playing a game where both teams scored 80 points or more. Meanwhile, Rutgers is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 non-conference games while going 12-3 ATS in its last 15 games coming off a home win over. 10* (730) Rutgers Scarlet Knights |

11-15-18 | Spurs +5.5 v. Clippers | Top | 111-116 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. Recent results are proving to be an overreaction with this line as the Clippers have not been favorites of this many points against the Spurs in years. San Antonio opened this three-game road trip with a pair of ugly losses against Sacramento and Phoenix, the latter taking place last night. The Spurs lost by 20 points to the Suns in a game they never led and the defense allowed Phoenix to shoot 56 percent from the floor and that is not a typical display. Going back, San Antonio is 41-21 ATS in its last 62 games coming off an upset loss of 10 points or more as a road favorite. Meanwhile, the Clippers improved to 8-5 with a pair of overtime wins over Milwaukee and Golden St. two teams with a combined record of 22-7. Those two victories over the last four days can provide a letdown here and much as a confidence builder and on top of that, Los Angeles is catching the Spurs at the wrong time. San Antonio falls into a great situation where we play on road underdogs after a blowout loss by 20 points or more going up against an opponent after a combined score of 215 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 70-33 ATS (68 percent) since 1996. 10* (505) San Antonio Spurs |

11-15-18 | William & Mary v. Illinois-Chicago -1.5 | Top | 95-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the ILLINOIS-CHICAGO FLAMES for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. Illinois-Chicago is off to a 0-3 start but all three of those games were on the road and the Flames are back in Chicago for their home opener. We played on them in their first game this season and while they lost by 17 points and failed to cover, the game was decided at the free throw line with Notre Dame going 36-38and Illinois Chicago going just 13-20. Illinois-Chicago lost two starters from last season but brings back four players with starting experience from its 20-16 team that was a win away from taking home the CIT Championship. The Flames have a deep and talented backcourt and while the loss of Dikembe Dixon looks big, he left the program to turn pro before the CIT run so they will be just fine. William & Mary is off to a 1-1 start with a home win over High Point and a road loss at Duquesne. The Tribe allowed the Dukes to shoot 52.5 percent from the floor and that has been an on going issue. The defense last season finished No. 335 in adjusted defensive efficiency. William & Mary has struggled on the road in recent years and with a big game at Notre Dame on deck, a lookahead is very possible. This is the first of three straight home games for the Flames and they get back on track tonight. 10* (514) Illinois-Chicago Flames |
