01-03-19 | Raptors +2 v. Spurs | 107-125 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kawhi Leonard makes his highly anticipated return to San Antonio when the Toronto Raptors visit the Spurs on Thursday. Leonard was once a beloved figure and NBA Finals MVP for the Spurs but returns as a villain after last season's falling out with the franchise, following seven seasons and the subsequent trade to Toronto. Leonard tuned up for his return to San Antonio by scoring a career-best 45 points in Tuesday's 122-116 victory over the visiting Utah Jazz. |

01-03-19 | NC State -2.5 v. Miami-FL | Top | 87-82 | Win | 100 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit ACC Play of the Day The lack of depth, exacerbated by the continued absence of forward Dewan Hernandez due to eligibility issues, figures to be problematic for the Hurricanes throughout the entire rugged ACC slate - beginning against a Wolfpack team getting hefty contributions from its deep, talented bench, with every player on the roster scoring in double digits in at least one game. Ten Wolfpack are in the rotation and average at least 12.6 minutes per game compared with just seven for Miami and N.C. State is using that depth to bring in fresh subs to play tenacious defense for coach Kevin Keatts and the result has been a 3-1 mark against Power 5 teams, including a 78-71 triumph over then-No. 7 Auburn. The Wolfpack bench has scored at least 40 points in six games, including a school-record 62 in a recent win over South Carolina Upstate, and the team as a whole is averaging 89.4 points per game (tied for sixth best in the nation), nearly 12 points better than Miami (77.6), which has been held below 76 in five of the last six games. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Thunder -5.5 v. Lakers | 107-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Lakers will be without star forward LeBron James for the fourth straight game when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder today. Los Angeles is 1-2 without James, who injured his left groin in a Christmas Day rout of the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers recorded their first win without James on Sunday, when they closed the game with an 18-4 burst to post a 121-114 victory over the visiting Sacramento Kings. Oklahoma City split a home-and-home with the Dallas Mavericks, beginning with a 105-103 loss in Dallas before recovering to notch a 122-102 home rout on Monday. The clinchers: Oklahoma City is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Pacific and 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Oklahoma +8.5 v. Kansas | Top | 63-70 | Win | 100 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Conference Play of the Day Oklahoma is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win, 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall, and 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. While Kansas is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Wolves v. Celtics -5 | 102-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves are struggling to perform consistently at the defensive end, leading to losses in eight of the last 12 games. The Timberwolves will try to find a way to get key stops and close out on 3-point shooters when they finish out a three-game road trip by visiting the Boston Celtics today. Minnesota knocked off Miami 113-104 in the opener of the road trip on Sunday but could not muster up the same defensive effort while allowing the New Orleans Pelicans to knock down 14-of-25 from 3-point range in a 123-114 loss the next night. The clinchers:Â Boston is 25-8 ATS in their last 33 home games. While Minnesota is 0-6 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Boston. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Texas Tech -3.5 v. West Virginia | 62-59 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Texas Tech is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. While West Virginia is 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Tulane v. Cincinnati -21 | 61-93 | Win | 100 | 25 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 4 Unit Conference Game of the Week The Bearcats won the conference tournament and made the second round of the Big Dance last season, but the 2018-19 team has shown the same defensive prowess by limiting opponents to 58 points and 38.6 percent shooting per game in the early going. Cincinnati will try to take advantage of the Green Wave, who have lost seven of nine games after winning two of the first three this season. Sophomore guard Caleb Daniels leads the way with 15.8 points per game on 50.4 percent shooting for Tulane, which was outscored 36-24 in the second half to suffer a 67-59 setback against Alabama A&M (1-13) last time out on Dec. 22. |
|||||||
01-01-19 | Blazers v. Kings +1.5 | 113-108 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sacramento missed a chance to win No. 20 when it was outscored 18-4 over the final 4 1/2 minutes of a 121-114 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Clinchers: Sacramento is 21-8 ATS in their last 29 games playing on 1 days rest, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games, and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. While Portland is 5-13 ATS in their last 18 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win, and 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. |
|||||||
01-01-19 | Marquette v. St. John's | 69-89 | Loss | -109 | 20 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Howard picked up right where he left off after a seven-day holiday break as the sharpshooting guard followed up a 40-point second half in a Marquette win over No. 20 Buffalo on Dec. 21 with a perfect 8-of-8 first-half shooting performance in a Golden Eagles 84-41 win over Southern on Friday. Howard scored 63 points over the two halves in just 26 minutes, 21 seconds of action while hitting 13-of-15 from behind the 3-point arc. The clincher: Marquette is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games following three or more consecutive home games. |
|||||||
01-01-19 | LSU v. Central Florida +7.5 | Top | 40-32 | Loss | -105 | 167 h 8 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Bowl Upset of the Day For the 2nd straight year, the Knights of Central Florida have made it through the regular season unscathed. And for the second consecutive season have been rewarded with a New Year's Day bowl game against an SEC power. A year ago, it was the Peach Bowl, vs the 10-3 & #7 Tigers of Auburn, who were expected to put an end to this false challenger. But things don't always pan out, & didn't in that one, as UCF (+9½) turned a 20-13 deficit in the 3rd, into a 34-20 lead in the 4th, en route to the 34-27 upset. Knight QB Milton was just 16-of-35, but 242 passing yards (2/0), along with 116 rushing yards (8.9 ypr). Before entering that one, the Knights barely got by Memphis, 62-55, in their AAC title game. Ditto this year, as UM (+3) led 38-21 at intermission, with 336 rushing yards, only to go down 56-41, with 65 2nd half rushing yards. Check a 252-134 rushing yard edge over Cincinnati, which out rushed its other 11 opponents. The loss of Milton (knee) on Nov 23rd mattered little as backup QB Mack was 19-of-27 for 348 passing yards & 2/0, while rushing for 4 TDs, with Knights totaling 34 first downs, 350 rushing yards, & 348 passing yards. And they haven't missed a beat, with the replacement of HC Frost, for Heupel. Another "upset"? |
|||||||
01-01-19 | Kentucky +7 v. Penn State | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 26 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units For the 4th time in program history, Kentucky is playing in a New Year's Day bowl. This year's highlight is the snapping of a 31-game losing streak to Florida, along with their first winning record in SEC play since that '77 season. RB Snell is their "go-to" guy (1,305 yards & 14 TDs), with QB Wilson a capable 68%, but just 11/8. Obviously, the Wildcats live via their defense, which has held 9 opponents to 20 points, or less (#19 & #6 in total & scoring defense). Last year, Kentucky lost in last 0:37 (failed 2-point try vs Northwestern) in Music City Bowl, so they will not be intimidated |
|||||||
01-01-19 | Iowa v. Mississippi State -7 | Top | 27-22 | Loss | -106 | 166 h 22 m | Show |
Rating: 5 Unit Bowl Game of the Year Iowa HC Ferentz is 7-8 SU & 9-6 ATS in bowls, but most recently 1-5 SU & 2-4 ATS, with 4 wipe out losses in those 6. As usual, the Hawks again depend on their 7th-ranked defense, which more than offsets a 76th-ranked offense, that has topped 159 rushing yards only 4 times. QB Stanley has had his moments (23/9), but just 58.6 %. The Bulldogs finished at 4-1 SU & ATS, with a 160-49 point edge (+75½ points ATS). Fitzgerald is a bit of an heir-apparent to "do-all" QB Dak Prescott, with 1,615 rushing yards (15/7) & 1,018 yards (15 & 12 TDs). Thus, much attention to their offense, & deservedly so, but check ranking 10th, 6th, 3rd, & 1st in run, pass, total, & scoring defense, giving up just 12 TDs in 12 games. |
|||||||
12-31-18 | NC State v. Texas A&M -7 | Top | 13-52 | Win | 100 | 150 h 48 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Bowl Game Play of the Day Aggie bowl games exceed simple excitement, with final scores of 52-28, 45-37, 21-27, 28-33, & 52-55 in their last 5. In last year's Belk, A&M led Wake 14-0, trailed 31-14, led 42-41, trailed 48-45, led 52-48, & lost 55-52, in last 2:18, with 636-614 yard deficit. This year was highlighted by its 74-72 seven OT win vs Lsu, behind 6 TD passes from Mond (no picks), who tied it on a 19-yard TD pass at the gun in regulation, along with 198 rushing yards from Williams, who ranks 3rd in the country with 1,524 yards (15 TDs). The Aggies are on a 13-6-2 ATS run, with one of their misses coming by a point in that Lsu contest. The Aggies are 5-2-1 ATS vs bowl teams this season |
|||||||
12-31-18 | Creighton v. Providence -1 | 79-68 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Creighton is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win, 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and 6-17 ATS in their last 23 games following a ATS win. While Providence is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. In addition, the favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings and Creighton is 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings. |
|||||||
12-31-18 | Missouri -7.5 v. Oklahoma State | 33-38 | Loss | -112 | 146 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Five double-digit win seasons in the last 12 years for the Tigers, & 9th bowl season in last 12 years, with 5-3 SU & 4-4 ATS logs. Four turnovers killed 'em in last year's 33-16 Texas Bowl loss to Texas, with just 1 Lock TD toss, after entering with a nation-best 43 TD passes. He hasn't approached that standard this year (25/8), with an 839-yard drop from last year's 3,964 yards (10th in land; 19th this year). However, Tiger run defense, has come from 60th, to 23rd, holding 6 teams to double digit rushing yards. Oklahoma State's 98th ranked defense was of little help, allowing 37.6 points per game in its last 9 contests. Bucking such a proven bowl entity is frightening, indeed, but unless Gundy & Co figure a way to contain Tigers, I'll do just that. |
|||||||
12-31-18 | Marshall +20 v. Virginia | 64-100 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Marshall is 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game, and 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss. While Virginia is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. |
|||||||
12-31-18 | Virginia Tech v. Cincinnati -5.5 | Top | 31-35 | Loss | -106 | 143 h 37 m | Show |
Rating: 5 Unit Bowl Game of the Month Tech has been out rushed by 7 of their last 8 opponents, surrendering 465 & 492 rushing yards to Georgia Tech & Pitt. It is the exact opposite for the Bearcats, who've had the overland edge in 11-of-12 games (#14 run offense, #6 run defense). HCs Minter, Dantonio, Kelly & Jones had the 'Cats on a seemingly constant 10+ win run, only to have Tuberville gradually take them down the tube (4-8 in '16), before their transformation, under Fickell (from 4-8 to 10-2 SU, & from 100th & 96th in total offense & defense to 23rd & 7th this year). Ridder (2,359 passing yards, with 19 touchdowns and 4 interceptions), Warren (1,163 rushing yards, 17 TDs), & Lewis (1.4 yards per catch), along with that defense have 'Cats at +110 points ATS for the year. No doubt on this one. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Kings -1 v. Lakers | 114-121 | Loss | -101 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After a resounding Christmas Day win over the defending champs, the Los Angeles Lakers have hit the skids without their superstar leader. LeBron James is still considered day-to-day as the Lakers prepare to host the Sacramento Kings, who delivered one of Los Angeles' two James-less losses. The Kings have enjoyed some time off since Bogdan Bogdanovic's game-winning 3-pointer lifted them to the 117-116 win over the Lakers. They play seven of their next eight at home after the visit to the Staples Center. James' teams have lost 13 in a row when he's been out of the lineup. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Thunder v. Mavs +3 | 103-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mavericks are 14-3 at home but just 2-15 on the road and will hit the road for four straight starting Monday, when they visit the Thunder for the back end of the home-and-home set. Dallas earned a 111-96 home victory over Oklahoma City on Nov. 10 behind 22 points and eight assists from Doncic and are 7-5 ATS in their last 22 vs. NBA Northwest, 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss, 20-8 ATS in their last 28 home games, and 27-13 ATS in their last 40 Sunday games. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Wolves +4 v. Heat | 113-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Miami is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. While Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. In addition, the underdog is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings while the road team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Bulls v. Raptors -10 | 89-95 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and 8-20 ATS in their last 28 vs. NBA Atlantic. While Toronto is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. In addition, the Bulls are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Massachusetts v. Georgia -6.5 | 72-91 | Win | 100 | 23 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Georgia is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. While UMass is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 vs. Southeastern Conference. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Cardinals v. Seahawks -13 | 24-27 | Loss | -109 | 22 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In the crazy world that is the NFL, anything can happen, with the Cardinals a prime example this season, with 34-0, 45-10, & 45-10 wipe out losses followed by covers of 2, 5, & 17 points vs the Bears, the 49ers, & the Packers. Outside of the fact that they catch the Seahawks off their thrilling upset of the Chiefs, it just doesn't seem feasible. Seattle needs it, entering on a current 8-2-2 ATS run, with a 102-54 point edge in its last 3 home games. Cardinals on a 1-5 spread slide, with an 88-26 point deficit in their last 3 contests. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Eagles -7 v. Redskins | 24-0 | Win | 102 | 22 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Here they come. Does anyone want to play these guys in the playoffs? Having the reigning Super Bowl MVP back under center is just what this team needed. Won a classic vs the Texans last week, on that last-second field goal, after blowing a 13-point 4th quarter edge, with Foles simply superb. Check 471 passing yards & 4 TDs, in leading the Eagles to a 519-371 yard edge. You gotta hand it to Gruden & his players for hanging in there, after losing their top 2 QBs at such a crucial point in the year (3 if you count Sanchez). But it ends today. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | James Madison v. Elon | 65-68 | Win | 100 | 1 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units James Madison is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. While the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Pistons +2.5 v. Magic | 107-109 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss, 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game, and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. While Orlando is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Central. In addition, the Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Jaguars v. Texans -6.5 | 3-20 | Win | 100 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No doubt, the Texans will have one eye on the Patriot/Jet game, as they are tied with the Pats at 10-5. Shows what a healthy Watson can do, despite coming up just short in comeback effort at Philly, losing at the gun, after a pair of Deshaun TD passes in the last 4:41. The Jags & Marrone would love to find the magic from last year & knock one of their rivals out of the coveted first round bye. Doubt it, even though they dominated the Dolphins in Miami last week. Texans are 10-2 SU, as well as 8-2-2 ATS, while Jaguars are 2-9 SU, & 3-7-1 ATS. And the host is 8-3 ATS in Jag games. |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Spurs v. Clippers -3.5 | 122-111 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The team has won four of its last five games and changed the course of Friday's contest with a 22-0 second-half run to turn a seven-point deficit into a 15-point lead. Danilo Gallinari recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season, but he was just 5-for-13 on a night in which Williams was leading the way. The clincher: Los Angeles is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Knicks v. Jazz -12.5 | 97-129 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Knicks are fighting to stay out of the Eastern Conference basement with losses in six straight and 11 of 12. New York kicked off a six-game road trip that will take them through Denver, Los Angeles, Portland and Golden State with a 112-96 loss at the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The clincher: New York is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. |

|||||||
12-29-18 | Rockets -3 v. Pelicans | 108-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The scorching Houston Rockets seek their fourth straight win and ninth in 10 contests when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans today. Reigning MVP James Harden has ignited the surge with eight straight 30-point outings, including four efforts of more than 40. The superstar is averaging 40.5 points during the eight-game stretch after pouring in 45 points in Thursday's 127-113 win over the visiting Boston Celtics and proclaimed afterward that he should again be part of the MVP chatter. The clincher: Houston is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Chattanooga +14.5 v. NC-Greensboro | 72-85 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units NC-Greensboro is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. While Tennessee Chat is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Notre Dame v. Clemson -12.5 | 3-30 | Win | 100 | 100 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Four the 4th time in as many years, the Tigers of Clemson have made it into the College Football Playoff. That's what regular season records of 13-0, 12-1, 12-1, & 13-0 will do for you. Dabo Swinney has now compiled a record of 85-11 over the last 7 years, along with a bowl record of 5-1, both SU & ATS, including the '16 upset of Alabama for the National Title. The insertion of frosh Lawrence at QB (2,606 yards, 65%, & 24 touchdowns with only 4 interceptions) has resulted in a 400-94 point edge in Tigers' last 8 games (+109½ points ATS). Not only that, but Etienne ranks 5th in the land with 1,463 rushing yards (8.3 yards per rush) & 21 TDs. And how about CU ranking in the top 9 in 9-of-10 major stat columns? |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Pennsylvania +4.5 v. Toledo | 45-77 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pennsylvania is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win, and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games.

12-29-18 | Florida v. Michigan -6 | Top | 41-15 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 24 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Bowl Game Play of the Day The Wolves were ranked 4th in the land, with a Final Four Playoffs spot a given, if they just took Ohio State in their season finale. Michigan went into that one on a 10-game winning streak by an average score of 39-13. But it wasn't to be, as the Buckeyes (+4) destroyed the Wolves, 62-39, with a 656-401 yard edge. And that vs a Michigan squad whose defense entered at 13.5 points per game, & 234.8 yard per game. Thus, from a playoff spot, to a lesser bowl, while plunging to #8 in the polls. This marks UM's 47th bowl, & 8th in the last 9 years (2-5 SU, & 2-4-1 ATS). No questioning the improvement under Harbaugh (38-14 SU) with the Wolverines finishing 4th, 1st, 3rd, & 1st in total defense, although they are just a 1-2 bowl proposition, spread wise. Opponents state that their devastating loss to the Buckeyes kills any focus or dedication for this contest. However, I remember in '15, when an identical 10-1 Michigan outfit was demolished, 42-13, also in its season finale vs the Buckeyes. Thus, a match with Florida in the Citrus Bowl. Did they care? As noted above, they must have, as they mauled the Gators, 41-7, as a field goal favorite, with a 503-273 yard edge. Mullen's arrival from Mississippi State, has turned Gator fortunes around, with a 6-1 start (5-1 ATS), before ending 3-2 (1-3 ATS), coming from 108th & 78th in scoring & rushing offense, to 25th & 26th, respectively, is a true improvement. But I just can't dismiss that '15 Wolverine bowl bounce back. |

Rating: 2 Units Behind rookie Luka Doncic's 21 points, including key free throws in the final minute, the Mavericks picked up a 122-119 win over the Pelicans at home Wednesday night, snapping a six-game slide. The Pelicans will be trying to avoid their sixth loss in a row when they open a three-game home stand today.

12-28-18 | Auburn v. Purdue +3.5 | 63-14 | Loss | -106 | 74 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This season has been nothing special for Auburn, with just a pair of 2-game winning streaks, never putting back-to-back covers together, with their lone ATS successes in their final 8 games coming vs a defenseless Ole Miss, & upstart Liberty. They rank an alien 69th in rushing offense (6th in '16, 25th in '17), while topping 147 rushing yards just twice (Alabama State & Liberty), while QB Stidham checks in at 77th in passing efficiency (13 touchdowns with 5 interceptions). Their opponents in this contest (Boilermakers of Purdue), are neither bowl novices (19th such affair), nor bowl constants (5th bowl in last 11 years, following a 10-of-11 bowl run under Joe Tiller). This one goes to the final gun. |

12-27-18 | 76ers v. Jazz -5 | 114-97 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz are starting to find their form with wins in three of the last four games and are coming off a dominating Christmas Day performance in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Jazz will try to get back to .500 when they continue a four-game home stand by hosting the Philadelphia 76ers today. Utah is holding its own against some of the best teams in the West with wins over Portland (twice) and Golden State in the last four games and is crediting an increase in focus. The clincher:Â Philadelphia is 5-14 ATS in their last 19 road games. |

12-27-18 | Miami-FL -3 v. Wisconsin | 3-35 | Loss | -105 | 96 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Unit CFB Play of the Day Wisconsin has normally been a fine ATS play (9-5 each of last 2 years), they enter with a 3-9 spread log (-75½ points) however. Bowl-wise, this make it 24 bowls in 26 years. This marks the 'Canes' 40th bowl (19-20 SU), but their former "invincible" label no longer applies, with a current 1-6 SU & ATS run since the '09 Champs Sports. For UM, this is a "season of streaks": a 5-0 streak (2-2 ATS) followed by an 0-4 slide (0-4 ATS), & a much-needed 2-0 windup (18 & 16 point covers), with a 293-69 rushing yard edge over Pittsburgh in finale. QB Perry has done well down the stretch, sitting at 13 touchdowns with 5 interceptions, while RB Homer's 6.3 yards per rush have resulted in 969 yards. 'Canes 2nd-ranked passing defense places entire Badger load on Taylor. Don't be afraid to give the points. |

12-27-18 | Duke v. Temple -3 | 56-27 | Loss | -117 | 74 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Owls of Temple have bid adieu to HC Geoff Collins (GaTech), who steered TU to a pair of bowls in his 2 years, at the helm, while compiling a 15-8 ATS record. As a matter of fact, the Owls are on an awesome 27-9 spread run. This makes it 4 straight bowl seasons for Temple, which seeks back-to-back bowl wins for the first time in school history. They are hurting at QB (Russo: 2,235 passing yards), & RB (Armstead: 1,098 yards, 13 TDs), but both are expected back for this one. WR Wright leads the nation in special-teams TDs (3). Duke comes into this one finishing the season on a 1-5 ATS run by 60 points |

12-26-18 | Pelicans v. Mavs -2.5 | 119-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Mavericks are suffering through the NBA's longest current losing streak at six straight while struggling on the road and on the defensive end. The Mavericks are a much better team at home and will try to snap the slide when they host the opener of a home-and-home set against the similarly struggling New Orleans Pelicans.  The Pelicans are in the midst of their own tough road trip and fell at Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings in the first three stops of a four-game trip. The clinchers: New Orleans is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games while Dallas is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games. |

Rating: 2 Units The San Antonio Spurs seek to post their 12th consecutive home win over Denver when they host the Nuggets today in the first game of a home-and-home between the two teams. Denver hasn't won a contest in San Antonio since posting a 99-94 victory on March 4, 2012. The Spurs have won seven of their past nine games. The clincher: San Antonio is 22-8 ATS in their last 30 home games. |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Cavs +10.5 v. Grizzlies | 87-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A young team that has seen its roster turn over dramatically since last season is bound to have some issues, but coach Larry Drew wants to see his team power through the tough times with a little more resolve. Larry Nance Jr. was a bright spot in Sunday's loss with 20 points and six rebounds, and the 25-year-old forward is averaging 15.3 points and 12.3 rebounds over a four-game stretch. The clinchers: Cleveland is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Memphis and 16-6 ATS in the last 22 meetings overall. |

Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets bounced back well from their first loss in over two weeks and hope to continue their recent surge when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday in the front end of a home-and-home set. The Nets saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end with a loss to Indiana in the opener of a three-game homestand Friday, but recovered to top Phoenix 111-103 two nights later. The Hornets won five of seven to get back over .500 before dropping a 119-103 decision at Boston on Sunday. The clinchers:Â Brooklyn is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 vs. NBA Southeast while Charlotte is 15-35-1 ATS in their last 51 vs. NBA Atlantic. |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Minnesota v. Georgia Tech -5.5 | 34-10 | Loss | -109 | 72 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 'Jackets' 335 rushing yard per game places them atop the rushing category, by a full 32 rushing yard per game edge over #2 Army. This has been the ongoing story since '08. So eleven years, with final rushing offensive rankings of #4 in '08, #2 in '09, #1 in #10, #2 in 11, #4 in '12, #6 in '13, #1 in '14, #8 in '15, #9 in '16, #5, in '17, & #1 in '18. Gophers of Minnesota play in their 20th bowl, & 15th in the last 19 years, losing 7 straight from '05 thru '14, before turning it around with a narrow 21-14 (-6) win over Central Michigan (TD & 2-point conversion in last 4:25 of the '15 Quick Lane); & a 17-12 (+9) upset of Washington State in the '16 Holiday, allowing just 1 TD, that in the last 0:19. This year's hopes depend on a running game led by frosh Ibrahim (936 yards, 7 TDs), as QBs Annexstad & Morgan have combined for just 16 TDs & 13 interceptions. The Gophers have cracked the 200-rushing yard barrier just twice all year, and own a negative 14 turn overs in comparison with the 'Jackets. Straight up winner has covered 11-of-12 Minnesota games. 'Jacket call. |

12-25-18 | Lakers v. Warriors -8.5 | 127-101 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden State Warriors have gotten used to playing against Lebron James on Christmas Day, but this time he'll be in a different uniform. The Warriors will try to get the better of James for the second straight time on Christmas when they host the Los Angeles Lakers. Golden State faced James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last four NBA Finals but will be seeing him for the first time in a Lakers uniform during the regular season. James and Los Angeles dropped four of their last six and are coming off a 107-99 loss to Memphis as they try to build a team that can compete with the Warriors in the West. |
|||||||
12-25-18 | 76ers v. Celtics -4 | 114-121 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia 76ers continue to dominate on their home floor while sometimes struggling for success on the road, a trend that began with an 18-point loss at Boston to begin the season. Philadelphia improved to an NBA-best 16-3 at home by routing Eastern Conference-leading Toronto 126-101 on Saturday, but they carry a 6-9 road mark into the opener of a challenging five-game road trip. The clincher:Â Boston is 24-8 ATS in their last 32 home games. |
|||||||
12-24-18 | Broncos v. Raiders +3 | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 30 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Broncos came to the Bay Area 2 weeks ago, & gave up a 20-0 first half deficit they couldn't overcome. Because of that, no playoffs for Denver since they won Super Bowl 50 three years ago. Injuries finally caught up. Beat the Chargers & Steelers, and lost to the 49ers & Browns. Go figure. Oakland has lost 6 straight division games. Last week, Carr was 21-of-38, with a TD & no interceptions for 9th straight game (301 attempts): 9/0 in his last 5 games. Now 11+ Charger losses for the first time since '14. Call the upset. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Mavs v. Blazers -7.5 | 118-121 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mavericks are playing the second game of a back-to-back set after pushing Golden State to the brink before falling 120-116 on Saturday. Rookie small forward Luka Doncic scored 19 points in the loss and is averaging 25.5 over his last four contests, but Dallas has dropped five straight to fall one game below .500. The clincher: Portland is 28-11 ATS in their last 39 home games. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Pelicans v. Kings +1 | 117-122 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The last time the New Orleans Pelicans met the Sacramento Kings they were in the midst of a 4-0 start and putting up points at a record pace. A very different Pelicans team struggling through a 5-11 stretch enters Sacramento for a rematch with the up-and-coming Kings. New Orleans scored a franchise-record 149 points in a 20-point win over the Kings on Oct. 19, but it is now sinking toward the bottom of the Western Conference and lost its third straight Friday night at Los Angeles with a 112-104 setback against the Lakers. The clincher: Sacramento is 25-10 ATS in their last 35 games playing on 1 days rest. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Wizards v. Pacers -9.5 | 89-105 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Indiana gets the benefit on Sunday of playing against a Wizards squad traveling for a back-to-back after fighting through three overtimes to earn a 149-146 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Shooting guard Bradley Beal scored 10 of his 40 points in the third overtime and recorded his first career triple-double in the victory. The clinchers: Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference while Washington is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Rams -14 v. Cardinals | 31-9 | Win | 100 | 22 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Time for the Rams to turn it around. Seems strange to be saying that about an 11-3 team. But for all of their success, the fact is that they are on a 2-7-1 spread run, with just a 308-276 point edge. And they have a 45-29 point deficit the past 2 weeks. Goff: 2 picks in loss to the Eagles, & now just 27/13 for the year. Are in a battle with the Saints for home field advantage through the playoffs, so a return to earlier form is foremost in McVay's mind. Worst home start (1-6) for Cards, since '57, as the Chicago Cardinals, and doesn't get any better |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Hawks +9.5 v. Pistons | 98-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hawks come into town aiming for their first three-game winning streak of the season. Kent Bazemore led seven players in double figures and Atlanta dominated on the boards to defeat the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden by a 114-107 margin Friday night. The Clinchers:Â Atlanta is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win while Detroit is 4-14 ATS in their last 18 vs. NBA Southeast. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Texans +2.5 v. Eagles | 30-32 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No, the Eagles are far from finished, with current 3-1 run taking them to within a game of the Cowboys. Foles did the job at the Rams (270 passing yards, 77.4%). That pushes the dog edge to 14-7 ATS in Philly games. Texans have won 10-of-11 SU, with accompanying 7-2-1 run. And they've covered 5 of their last 6 road games. Watson last week: 22-of-28 for 294 yards, & 2 TDs. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Bucs v. Cowboys -7 | 20-27 | Push | 0 | 18 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cowboys don't fool around. From a 5-0 SU/ATS run (+34½ points vs spread), to their first shutout loss in 15 years, 23-0, with only 4 catches for 32 yards from Cooper, a week after 217 & 3 TDs vs Philly. And note Dak coming from 455 passing yards to just 208. And a rushing "D" from 66 yards per game in their previous 5 games, to 179 at Indy. Six straight road losses for the Bucs, after shocking the Saints in their opener. Winston has now lost his last 11 road starts, & Tampa has been eliminated from the playoffs. Dallas bounce backer |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Bills v. Patriots -13 | 12-24 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Thirteen straight home wins for the Pats, including playoffs, & have now won 48 of their last 54 home games. Didn't score a TD after their 3rd snap in Pittsburgh last week (63-yard Brady TD pass), with just 3 points in their final 8 drives, as 14 penalties for 106 yards (most since '14) did them in. Need a win, or a Miami loss, for 10th straight AFC East title. Bills are owned by this team & this player, as Brady is 29-3 SU vs Buffalo. Allen won for the 3rd time this year, when Bills are tied or behind, in the 4th. Still no contest |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Rhode Island v. Bucknell +5.5 | 82-84 | Win | 100 | 14 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rhode Island is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win, 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. While Bucknell is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games, and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. |

12-22-18 | Mavs v. Warriors -11.5 | 116-120 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mavericks are slumping with losses in four straight games and surrendered at least 120 points in each of the last three, capped by a 125-121 setback at the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. The clinchers: Dallas is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Ravens +4.5 v. Chargers | 22-10 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units What a win for Bolts at KC, with 2 TDs in final 3:49, plus the 2-pointer to win it. First time a team has won on a last-second 2-point conversion since the Vikings in '02. That snapped a 9-game losing streak vs the Chiefs. And they did it without Gordon. Ravens have rushed for over 200 yards 4-of-5 games with Jackson under center. First team since '79 Steelers to rush for 190+ yards 5 straight games. Baltimore took 4 of those 5. This could be a preview of a possible January match. Take the points. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Bucks v. Heat +3 | 87-94 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat are enjoying their longest winning streak of the season at three in a row as their defense has rounded into shape. That trend will be tested Saturday night when the Milwaukee Bucks -- the league's top scoring team, fresh off another resounding win of their own -- pay a visit. The Heat have allowed 99 points or fewer in each of the consecutive victories against Memphis, New Orleans and Houston, the last of which began a stretch in which Miami plays nine of 12 at home. The Clincher: Miami is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Central. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Raptors +6.5 v. 76ers | 101-126 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors aim to defeat Philadelphia for the third straight time this season when they visit the 76ers today. Toronto, which owns the best record in the NBA, won the first two matchups by an average of 14 points and this matchup is the first of the season in Philadelphia. Star forward Kawhi Leonard matched his season high of 37 points on 12-of-16 shooting as the Raptors posted a 126-110 home win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The clincher:Â Toronto is 36-16 ATS in their last 52 vs. NBA Atlantic. |

12-22-18 | Buffalo v. Troy +1 | Top | 32-42 | Win | 100 | 30 h 34 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Units Three straight bowl seasons for the Trojans of Troy, who are on a splendid 31-7 SU run, with HC Brown turning this former doormat into a power, serving notice with a tight 30-24 loss at Clemson, as 35-pt dogs, in '16; & an outright 24-21 win at Lsu, as 20½-pt dogs, in '17. And this year, they upset Nebraska, 24-19. They have a pair of 1,000-yd QBs, as Smith (1,349 yds) took over for an injured Barker in mid season. In Troy's 3 losses, the Trojans committed 4, 3, & 4 TOs. Stay clean, & this one is theirs. |

12-22-18 | Houston v. Army -4.5 | 14-70 | Win | 100 | 41 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Army returns to the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl looking to add to its eight-game win streak when it faces Houston on Saturday, Dec. 22, at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. The Black Knights, whose seven bowl games have been all been decided by a touchdown or less, beat San Diego State by a touchdown in this bowl last year. The Cougars, making their program-best sixth straight bowl appearance, lost three of their final four games to miss out on the American Athletic Conference title game. Houston's beat-up defense will have its hands full with Army's triple option attack that is ranked second nationally with 296.3 rushing yards. Houston will be without four defensive line starters - All-American Ed Oliver, who announced he would skip the bowl game to prepare for the NFL Draft, and injured Jerard Carter, Payton Turner and Isaiah Chambers. The Cougars have already faced two of the country's top rushing teams in Navy and Memphis, allowing 344 and 401 rushing yards - respectively - during conference play. |

12-22-18 | Connecticut +6.5 v. Villanova | 58-81 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The calendar year began so nicely for Villanova as the Wildcats stormed through the Big East en route to their second national championship in three seasons. However, 2018 is not ending in nice fashion as the team needs to defeat Connecticut at Madison Square Garden today to avoid ending the year with a three-game losing streak. In its last two games, Villanova has fallen to local rival Pennsylvania and at top-ranked Kansas in a pair of three-point decisions. The Clincher:Â Â UConn is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. |

12-21-18 | Providence v. Texas -8.5 | 71-65 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Texas will try to continue its offensive resurgence when it hosts Providence tonight in a non-conference match up. The Longhorns snapped a three-game losing streak by averaging 85 points on 54.5 percent shooting in back-to-back home wins. Senior guard Kerwin Roach II and junior guard Elijah Mitrou-Long have been at the center of the improved offense. Roach hit 6-of-8 shots off the bench Saturday against Grand Canyon after shooting 9-of-43 from the floor in the previous four games. The clinchers: Providence is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs. Big 12. |

San Antonio improved to 50-9 all-time at home against Minnesota with a 112-108 win on Oct. 17.

12-21-18 | Ole Miss -13 v. Middle Tennessee | Top | 74-56 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit CBB Play of the Day Ole Miss is off to a great start through its first 10 games under new coach Kermit Davis, but the Rebels' new boss will feel an emotional tug when his team faces his old team – Middle Tennessee State – on Friday in Nashville, Tenn. Davis led the Blue Raiders for 16 seasons, winning 63.8 percent of his games, and while his focus is on the Rebels, he admits today’s match up will not be just another game. The Blue Raiders are struggling under new coach Nick McDevitt, riding a seven-game losing streak after winning three of their first four games. The clincher: Middle Tennessee State is 1-12 ATS in their last 13 games overall. |
|||||||
12-21-18 | Pacers v. Nets +3 | 114-106 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers are suddenly having some trouble scoring points and dropped their last two games following a seven-game winning streak. The Pacers will try to bounce back when they close out a two-game road trip by visiting the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets are winners of seven in a row and pulled out a 96-93 win at Chicago on Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back after knocking off the Los Angeles Lakers at home. |
|||||||
12-21-18 | Hawks v. Knicks -3 | 114-107 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The highlights have been few and far between for the Atlanta Hawks, but the rebuilding team heads to New York for a Friday matchup with the Knicks after perhaps their best performance of the season. Atlanta led by 11 points after one quarter and held off a late Washington rally on Tuesday for a 118-110 home victory, just the seventh time in 30 games the Hawks have walked off the court winners. The clincher:Â Atlanta is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Atlantic. |

Rating: 2 Units Butler is 6-0 at Hinkle Fieldhouse this season and has won 49 consecutive non-conference home games - the second-longest active streak in the nation - however, No. 50 could be difficult on Friday. UC Irvine has all five starters returning for a team picked to finish first in the Big West, and the Anteaters have won 10 straight road games - the second-longest such active streak in the country. The clincher:Â UC Irvine is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Friday games. |
|||||||
12-20-18 | Marshall -2.5 v. South Florida | 38-20 | Win | 100 | 26 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the Thundering Herd of Marshall, this marks 6 bowl games under HC Doc Holliday, who, as of now, has never lost one of these classics: 5-0 SU & ATS! A quick glance at the above stats shows a 'Herd "D" that is allowing just 105 rushing yards per game. Right, 9th-best in the land; while USF ranks 123rd in that all important column. But can the 'Herd, & its 87th-ranked rushing "O" take full advantage? QB Green is a steady, if non-spectacular leader: 2,2 37 yards & 15/10. Pretty much along the lines of FSU's Barnett. Home game for Bulls, but can't ignore 'Herd's steady bowl successes. |
|||||||

|||||||
12-20-18 | Panthers +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 1-6 | Loss | -130 | 3 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs rebounded from two disappointing results with a dominating performance and look to build on that when they host the rejuvenated Florida Panthers tonight. The Maple Leafs lost at Tampa Bay 4-1 despite recording 49 shots and were beaten at Florida in overtime Saturday before scoring early and often to knock off New Jersey 7-2 on Tuesday. Florida captain Aleksander Barkov capped his first career hat trick with the overtime winner in the 4-3 triumph over the Maple Leafs last weekend and boasts 15 points (eight goals) in the last 11 games as the Panthers try to climb out of the Atlantic Division cellar. Florida followed up the win over Toronto by scoring four unanswered goals in the third period for a 5-2 victory at Buffalo on Tuesday to open a four-game road trip. |
|||||||
12-20-18 | Northern Illinois +6 v. Northern Kentucky | 62-65 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Northern Illinois is 7-4 ATS in their last 21 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. Horizon League, and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. While Northern Kentucky is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games, 2-6 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games, and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. |

12-20-18 | Texas Tech v. Duke -9.5 | 58-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blue Devils have had a much more challenging slate - this will be their fourth game against a ranked opponent - and their only loss was a two-point setback against Gonzaga. Duke has won its last five games by an average of 39.8 points, including a 101-50 rout of Princeton on Tuesday. The clincher: Texas Tech is 10-22 ATS in their last 32 neutral site games. |
|||||||
12-19-18 | Ohio v. San Diego State +3 | 27-0 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In a era where wide open passing attacks dominate college football headlines, this will be an old fashioned battle in the trenches. Ohio ranks eighth nationally in rushing offense with an average of 262.2 yards per game and rolled up 38 rushing touchdowns. The Bobcats will be going up against a San Diego State defense that ranks fourth nationally in rush defense behind only Michigan State, Texas A&M and Clemson allowing an average of 94.5 yards per game and 2.75 yards per attempt and has allowed only 14 rushing TDs. The underdog is on a 13-0-1 ATS run in San Diego State games, with 9-of-10 decided by a TD, or less, SU. Â |
|||||||

While Duquesne is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win, 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points, and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. |

12-19-18 | Virginia -8.5 v. South Carolina | 69-52 | Win | 100 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Virginia is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss, 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games, 13-5 ATS in their last 18 non-conference games, and 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. While South Carolina is 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 non-conference games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall, and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Buffalo v. Syracuse -3 | 71-59 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tyus Battle averages a team-high 18.5 points and has scored at least 20 in five of the last six games, but the junior guard needs more help offensively. Oshae Brissett averages 14.9 points but has shot over 40 percent only four times all season, while Buddy Boeheim is a woeful 8-of-43 from the field, including 6-of-29 from 3-point land. Elijah Hughes (14.3 points) has probably been the most consistent complementary player for Syracuse, having scored at least 14 points in eight of the 10 games and having made multiple 3s in seven of the last eight contests. The clincher: Syracuse is 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. Mid-American. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Wizards v. Hawks +3 | 110-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington is just 6-17 ATS when coming off a victory of 15 or more points, when it'd been listed as a home underdog. With an O/U line in the mid 230s, the Wizards are only 1-6 ATS the past seven times that they played a road game with an O/U line of 230 or greater. The Hawks, who have dropped three straight, know that this is their final home game before Christmas. Note that they're 4-1Â ATS after giving up 230 or more. Playing with revenge from a loss here a couple of weeks ago. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Lakers -2.5 v. Nets | 110-115 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lakers are 1-2 on their four-game road trip following a 128-110 loss at Washington on Sunday. LeBron James was held to a season-low 13 points and Los Angeles gave up 71 first-half points while falling to 7-8 on the road. However, Los Angeles took both meetings last season, including a 102-99 triumph at Brooklyn on Feb. 2. The clincher:Â The Nets are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Cavs v. Pacers -12 | 92-91 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Indiana Pacers seek to extend their season-long winning streak to eight games when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. The Pacers have won five games by double digits during the stretch, including Sunday's 110-99 victory over the New York Knicks. The clincher:Â Cleveland is 7-24-1 ATS in their last 32 games following a double-digit loss at home. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Northern Illinois v. UAB -2.5 | 13-37 | Win | 100 | 70 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the Blazers, this marks just their 3rd bowl game in history, but also marks their 2nd consecutive holiday trip, which is near miraculous, seeing that UAB disbanded its football program after the '14 season, following a combined 8-year record of 26-70. Last year's bowl resulted in a 41-6 loss to Ohio U in the Bahamas (249-99 rushing yard deficit), losing 20-0 in the first 17:24. However, their 8-4 regular season was remarkable, as 6 games were decided by 5 points or less SU. QB Erdely is their trigger, with 1,539 passing yards, but just a break-even 7/7. He didn't make it in Blazers' Cusa title win over Middle Tennessee, but note that Uab came from a 133-(-1) rushing yard deficit in their regular season match, to a 225-94 rushing yard edge in their title march. And no Erdley for that one, & he is still nursing that injured shoulder. By the way, check a 15-7-1 ATS log for Uab since its reinstating. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Princeton +30 v. Duke | 50-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Princeton is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 vs. Atlantic Coast, 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS win, and 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win. While Duke is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. In addition the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |
|||||||
12-17-18 | Blazers v. Clippers -2 | 131-127 | Loss | -102 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Unis Portland is suffering through a six-game road slide and scored a season-low 83 points at Memphis on Wednesday before making the brief stop back in the northwest and lighting up the scoreboard. Los Angeles fell by a total of 62 points in losses to Toronto and San Antonio before battling the Thunder in a 110-104 road loss on Saturday. The Clippers shot 50.7 percent from the floor, including 13-of-25 from 3-point range, and had three players score at least 20 points in the setback. The teams split the first two meetings, with Los Angeles earning a 104-100 victory at Portland in the most recent matchup on Nov. 25. The clincher: Portland is 2-11 ATS in their last 13 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. |

12-17-18 | Pepperdine +14 v. Oregon State | 67-82 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 16 m | Show | |

While Oregon State is 10-22-1 ATS in their last 33 non-conference games and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. West Coast. |
|||||||
12-17-18 | Saints -6 v. Panthers | 12-9 | Loss | -108 | 24 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Third straight road game for the Saints, who came up big for us last week in Tampa, with a 25-0 2nd half edge, & though Drew was only 1/1 (31/4 for the year), he was a nice 77.4%. Second straight division title for the Saints, as their defense came up big (4 sacks, & allowing only 81 2nd-half yards). Five straight losses for Panthers (SU & ATS), with McCaffrey their lone bright spot (2 more TDs & 101 total yards). That's 12 TDs in his last 7 games. New Orleans is on a 10-1 ATS run, so not about to call free-falling Panthers' number. |
