05-04-24 | Wolves +4.5 v. Nuggets | 106-99 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Minnesota Timberwolves. Game 1 Winner. Game 529. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. In my opinion this is the most anticipated matchup in the second round of the playoffs. Regardless of who wins the Cavaliers/Magic Game 7 meeting on Sunday, none of the other three matchups consist of teams seeded this low. The No. 3 Timberwolves and the No. 2 Nuggets will square off here. These two teams met four times this season, splitting out the four meetings straight up. However, the Timberwolves have covered three of the four this season. Going back to last season, Minnesota has covered five of the last six overall matchups. Many people thought they would not get past Phoenix in the opening round because they could not beat them in any of the meetings during the regular season. But they dispatched them in four games. The Nuggets devoured the Lakers in five games. While the T-Wolves had an extra day off to rest, heal, and prepare for this round, they also enter this matchup covering four consecutive outings. Meanwhile the Nuggets are on a 1-3 ATS run. Going back to the matchups this season, Minnesota, in their two victories in those matchups really had their way with Denver. Meanwhile the two matchups that the Nuggets prevailed, were a lot closer. While nobody can deny the experience of Denver, Minny can keep pace with them offensively, and possess the NBA's No. 1 defense, allowing 106.5 points per game. They also top the league in field goal percentage allowed. While Denver is not far behind them in both of those categories, I just don't see them having their way here. I believe the frustrating defense of the Timberwolves will be the difference and keep this game extremely close. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

05-03-24 | Cavs v. Magic -3.5 | 96-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
Orlando Magic. Game 6 Winner. Game 524. 4:00 PM PST/7;00 PM EST. When it comes to playing at home, there is certainly a big advantage, especially in the NBA. To go one further, particularly in the playoffs. The home team has won each of the five meetings in this Rd. 1 series. However, the Magic have covered the last three meetings. They return home where they sport an overall record of 31-12, while the Cavaliers are just 22-21 as visitor this season. After suffering a one-point loss on the road a few days ago in Game 5, I see Orlando returning home, and evening out of series with authority. Take the Magic. Thank you. |

Oklahoma City Thunder. |

04-27-24 | Thunder -115 v. Pelicans | 106-85 | Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder on the ML. NBA PS GOW. Game 543. 12:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. It was no accident the Oklahoma City Thunder finished the regular season the top seed in the western Conference. This is a solid basketball team. They also have a big leg up on a lot of the other playoff squads due to the fact they have no significant injuries. On the other hand, the New Orleans Pelicans sort of limped into the postseason. Let's face it, it seems without their star player, Zion Williamson, this team falls way short or competing with this level of opponent. The Thunder have taken six of the last seven meetings in this rivalry, covering five of those meetings. The team as well as all of us are well aware, taking a 3-0 lead in this first round is huge. As a matter fact, it's usually any round. If Oklahoma City allows New Orleans to get back into the series with a win here, it becomes a whole different scenario. The Thunder are by far the better team, they have had their opponents number, and they enter this Game 3 matchup red-hot, winning seven consecutive contests. The number is off here. Let's take advantage of it. Take Oklahoma City. Thank you. |

04-24-24 | Pelicans +7.5 v. Thunder | 92-124 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
New Orleans Pelicans. ATR play. Game 519. 6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST. I think we can all agree that Zion Williamson is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA today. As far as the postseason goes, we kind of know, without him the team is going to be in a tough situation to advance. However, this team took down Sacramento on the 19th without their star player, and then lost a heartbreaker, 94-92 in Game 1 of this series, right here at the Paycom Center. This is a team that has played their counterpart very competitively, winning five of the last six meetings, straight up, covering four of those six, which does include three consecutive meetings. I don't see why this game will be any less competitive. Way too many points. Take New Orleans. Thank you. |

04-22-24 | Magic v. Cavs -5.5 | 86-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers. ABOVE THE RIM. Game 502. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. I'm gonna’ keep this breakdown very short and very sweet, just like me (lol). Donovan Mitchell seems to have his injury issues in the rearview. The star player accounted for over 30 points in Saturday's game 1, 97-83 win and cover at home over the visiting Orlando Magic. That victory gave the Cavaliers seven wins over the last nine meetings with the Magic, as they have covered seven of those nine meetings as well. Furthermore Orlando, although is a decent team, struggles badly on the road, where they are just 18-24 this season. Most recently they have failed to cover five consecutive games played as a visitor. Maybe it's because they're so banged up. Yes, it's true Cleveland is a lot healthier. I just see the Cavaliers smell blood in the water here. Cleveland. Thank you. |

04-21-24 | Pacers -117 v. Bucks | 94-109 | Loss | -117 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Indiana Pacers on the moneyline. Slam Dunk. Game 583. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Obviously, the availability of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo (check status) are unknown at this point. Most reports are stating the “Greek Freak” is most-likely sitting. Now we always must do our due diligence and confirm any injury information, especially in the NBA. But even if he does play, he is not 100%. What has been confirmed is that Lillard is still not 100%, even if he does play. Reports are the star PG is still hampered with a groin issue. Obviously, as we all know, the Bucks limped into the postseason, dropping eight of their final 11 contests. But even when they were healthy, the Pacers are a true thorn in their side. Indiana has taken five of the last seven meetings in this rivalry, which does include four of five this season, both straight up and against the spread. Meanwhile, the Pacers finished the campaign winning seven of their final 10 and covering six of those outings as well. They are relatively healthy and I believe their trademark pace of play will be a key factor here. I've never seen a team that moves as slowly as Indiana, but yet tops the NBA in scoring, averaging over 123.3 points per game as they top the League as well in field goal percentage from the floor, hitting over 50.7%. Granted, Milwaukee, when they are whole, can keep pace offensively with any opponent, but their defense just doesn't match up well with their opponent’s offense here. Take Indiana. Thank you. |

04-20-24 | Suns +1.5 v. Wolves | 95-120 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
Phoenix Suns. GAME 1 MONEYMAKER. Game 577. 12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST. Yes, the Minnesota Timberwolves finished the regular season a very impressive, 56-26. But this is a team that must be nervous because they have been bounced out of the first round in each of the past two seasons. As a matter of fact, they haven't made it past the first round since 2004. On the other hand, Phoenix ended the regular season winning six of eight games, which does include their final three contests. It's no secret the Suns have dominated the Timberwolves, winning nine of the last 10 straight up, and covering nine consecutive meetings. Getting to the postseason is one thing. But succeeding in the playoffs is an entirely different monster, and Phoenix has made the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. I think giving this team points is a mistake. Take the Suns. Thank you. |

04-19-24 | Bulls +2.5 v. Heat | 91-112 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Chicago Bulls. SLAM DUNK. Game 559. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Just like me, I'm going to keep this breakdown very short, and extremely sweet (lol). The Miami Heat will be without both, Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier. While I get why a lot of the general public are coming in on the home team here, I really don't think they grasp the severity of these two missing players in this specific matchup. These are two of their three highest-scoring players, not to mention their starting cornerstone. A few items I'd like to make you aware of; for starters, last years, PLAY IN matchup saw Miami finishing on a 15-1 run to overcome Chicago, and end their season. The Bulls must be salivating, knowing they get another chance at the Heat here. Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I want you to know: Chicago covered both meetings in Miami this season. I think it's going be a competitive game and a physical game. Right now, Chicago is a little deeper, a little hungrier, and is looking for a little payback. Take the Bulls. Thank you. |

04-16-24 | Lakers +1.5 v. Pelicans | 110-106 | Win | 100 | 28 h 21 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Lakers. Game 541. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. When it comes down to elimination time, cream rises to the top. And whether you like him or not, LeBron James does not like missing the playoffs. The Lakers have a fight on their hands right now to make sure they make the postseason cut line. This is a team that has taken five of the last six meetings with their opponent, going back to February of 2023. Oh, by the way they've also covered five of those six meetings (lol). They enter this matchup running pretty hot, winning seven of their last 10 straight up, while the pelicans, despite a strong road stand, in which they won all four games, failed to win their last outing, which coincidentally, was at home against this very opponent. I just don't see King James and Company not putting out their best effort here. Take the Lakers. Thank you. |

04-06-24 | Alabama v. Connecticut -11.5 | 72-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
U Conn Huskies. Game 674. 5:45 PM PST/8:45 PM EST. I know this is a ton of points, my friends. But you just can't dismiss what the Huskies have done again this season. Getting to the Big Dance and then plowing down all comers like Connecticut did a season to go to become National Champions is a remarkable feat. But to get back to the Final Four the following year is so tough, with so much pressure. I have to tell you I feel this team is destined to win back-to-back titles. I know the Alabama Crimson Tide a good team. However, let's face it, when they take to the road they leave a little bit of luster. Granted, Alabama's offense tops college basketball, averaging over 90.8 points per game. But going up against one of the most frustrating, and most ferocious defenses like that of the Huskies, which allows a mere, 64.0 points per game on 39.8% shooting from the floor, is going to be fatal to this team. Understand Connecticut are also monsters at both ends of the court on the boards and will take away a lot of second chance opportunities for Alabama, while creating opportunities for themselves offensively. I know this is a lot of points. But this is one of the best college basketball teams we've seen come around in a long time. They will dominate this game from start to finish. Lay the points. Take the Huskies. Thank you. |

03-31-24 | Tennessee v. Purdue -3.5 | Top | 66-72 | Win | 100 | 26 h 46 m | Show |
Purdue Boilermakers. BIG DANCE GOY. Game 656. 11:20 AM PST/2;20 PM EST. Both Tennessee and Purdue deserve to be here. However, make no mistake of it, the Volunteers are not in the same class as the Boilermakers. Purdue enters this matchup knowing that they took down Tennessee in a late-November matchup, at home 71-67. Since November, the Boilermakers have improved significantly. Don't get me wrong, the Volunteers are a damn good team. But when you have arguably the best college basketball player in the country as you're starting center, it's certainly going to give you a very large advantage. Zach Edey is one of the best college basketball players I have ever seen. He's an absolute monster. Forget about stopping him. Even if you tried to slow him down, the rest of the starters for Purdue are some of the most unselfish players in the country. On any given day any one of them can step up and take a game on his shoulders. Tennessee is accustomed to playing opponents that can score as much as them. Purdue can do just that my friends. And to make matters worse, they have a very good defense, are second in the nation in shooting from downtown, and on both ends of the court, possess a top-10 rebounding core. This game will get out of hand. Take the Boilermakers. Thank you. |

03-30-24 | Clemson +3.5 v. Alabama | 82-89 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
Clemson Tigers. OM play. Game 653. 5:45 PM PST/8:45 PM EST. In all sincerity, I think this line should be closer to a pick ‘em. However, the whole world would then bet Alabama because as we know the general public loves to bet those favorites. Clemson enters this match up running red-hot, winning and covering three in a row over the lights of New Mexico, Baylor, and Arizona. If there was going to be a letdown for this team, it would have come after the first or even the second Tourney game. But this team has their foot on the gas and they're playing excellent basketball right now. Granted, Alabama has won and covered their last three as well. But in all honesty, College of Charleston and Grand Canyon are not in the same class as Clemson. When they did step up and play a formidable opponent in North Carolina in their last outing, they were lucky to get away with a two-point win. Please understand that these two teams played earlier this season back at the end of November in Alabama, when Clemson prevailed, 85-77. Please understand that this team is an excellent team, the Tigers are. In their first matchup back a few months ago, they really outhustled Alabama. They shot better from the floor, better from downtown, and owned the boards. I don't see why this game isn't going to come out the same way. I look for a very competitive matchup here tonight. Take the Tigers. Thank you. |

03-30-24 | Illinois v. Connecticut -8.5 | 52-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
Connecticut. Game 652. 3:05 PM PST/6:05 PM EST. With all respect to the Illinois Fighting Illini, I really think there are in over their heads here in this matchup. They are a very good team, don't get me wrong. I mean they are riding a seven-game straight up win streak, in which they covered six of those seven outings. But facing the likes of Morehead State, Duquesne, and Iowa State, are a big difference than facing an opponent like Connecticut. The Huskies are a monster team. They are 34-3 overall this season. Now I know that this game is being played in Boston, Massachusetts. However, this is going to be a very friendly, predominantly Huskies crowd there. I know it's not a true home game…of course it isn't. But this team is going to look in the stands and see a lot of their jerseys in the crowd and get a lot of support there. This is like a home game for this team, trust me when I tell you, my friends. And we all know they were 16-0 at home this season. I just don't see Illinois contending with Connecticut and they are very pesky defense. The Huskies rank 13th in the nation in points allowed, yielding a mere 64.0 points per game. They also yield just 39.8% shooting from the field. And to make things even tougher on their opponent tonight, they rank second in college basketball on the defensive boards. I just think they are a team that is on a mission to show everyone they can and will repeat as the National Champion. Take Connecticut. Thank you. |

03-30-24 | Celtics -6 v. Pelicans | 104-92 | Win | 100 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
Boston Celtics. Slam Dunk Play. Game 525. 2:10 PM PST/510 PM EST. The Celtics own the best record in all of pro basketball, at 57-16. However, this team enters this matchup, off back-to-back losses for only the third time during this regular season. That is why I'm compelled to side with the Celtics here. I look for them to bounce back strongly against a team that they've had their way with. They have taken five in a row straight up and seven of the last 10 in this rival. They have also been money in this rivalry covering seven of those 10 as well. Meanwhile the Pelicans are playing “hit or miss” basketball right now. It's hard to believe they have a better away record than they do a home record. That's right, they are just 21-14 at the Smoothie King Center, as opposed to 24-14 as a visitor this season. I just don't think the Celtics are going to allow themselves to fall into a little bit of a funk and drop another game so close to the regular season ending. Trust me when I tell you they want to coast into the last of the regular season games and go into the playoffs with momentum. Take Boston. Thank you. |

03-28-24 | Alabama v. North Carolina -4.5 | Top | 89-87 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 11 m | Show |
North Carolina Tar Heels. SWEET 16 GAME OF THE YEAR. Game 636. 6:40 PM PST/9:40 PM EST. Whether you are a novice or an expert in college basketball, you are familiar with the history of the Tar Heels. North Carolina is one of the most successful teams in the history of college basketball. Hubert Davis is the head coach of UNC. In his three seasons at the helm, it's been a hell of a ride. Going back even further, his career has been very impressive. He went to North Carolina, winning a national championship, and even averaging over 21.4 points per game in his senior season. He was a first-round draft pick to the New York Knicks, played on six teams in the NBA. He became an assistant coach of the Tar Heels back in 2012, and a few years ago named the head coach. In his first season at the helm, Davis team reached the National Championship game. Oddly enough last season, the team missed the Tournament altogether. Now this season, they come in as a number one seed in the West Region. I believe it was last year's absence that really lit a fire under this team and motivated them to win. They know they cannot take their opponent here lightly. Alabama is a heck of a team. They finished fifth in the SEC, and own an overall record of 23-11. They are a very good team. But I think we could all agree that when they travel away from the confines of their own home court, they lose a little bit of luster. They are just 5-5 away from home straight up this season. And just 4-4 SU on neutral sites. While, their offense is explosive, their defense is getting shredded for over 80.4 points per game. They're playing against a team which is as complete and well-balanced as any team in the country. The Tar Heels possess height, muscle, speed, strength, depth, and intelligence. Take North Carolina. Thank you. |

03-24-24 | Yale +5.5 v. San Diego State | 57-85 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
Yale Bulldogs. Vegas Insider move. Game 837. 6:40 PM PST/9:40 PM EST. You can't argue San Diego State followed up last seasons, strong performance with another strong performance this season. However, I still think they're getting some leftover credit from going so far in the Big Dance a year ago. I don't think they warrant being this much of a favorite over anyone. Let's face it, they've only covered two of their last nine outings. Meanwhile, Yale comes in here winning six of their last seven, straight up, covering five of those seven. They come off a very big win as a 14-point underdog against Auburn just two days ago. Many people out there would think this team is in a letdown situation here now. I'm here to tell you they are not. This is a solid squad. They have a frustrating defense, are solid at both end of the court on the boards, possess height and muscle. I just think this is way too many points to give a game ivy league team. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you. |

03-24-24 | Evansville v. Quinnipiac -145 | 64-63 | Loss | -145 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Quinnipiac Bobcats. CBI RD 1 BEST BET. Game 860. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST It doesn't have to be a major conference, or even a major tournament for that matter for us to make money in it. I know Quinnipiac plays in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. But they did finish first in the MAAC, and possess an overall record of 24-9. I just don't see this line being this short here. Evansville finished 10th in the Missouri Valley Conference. They have lost eight of their last nine, straight up, and have only covered three of those nine. They're absolutely horrible at both ends of the court. I just don't see them competing in any aspect of this contest. Lay the short price with Quinnipiac. Thank you. |

03-24-24 | James Madison +7.5 v. Duke | 55-93 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
James Madison Dukes. Oddsmakers Mistake. Game 827. 2:15 PM PST 5:15 PM EST. Maybe it's not so much a mistake made by the oddsmakers as it is perhaps the oddsmakers anticipating a large Duke following here today. And I get it. This is one of the most acclaimed college basketball teams in the history of the sport. They finished second this regular season in the ACC, one of the strongest conferences in the nation. They enter this matchup off a commanding win and cover over Vermont. They have an experience coach and a lot of seasoned players on the roster. However, this is not the same Blue Devils team we are used to seeing. And the fact that there is no pressure on their opponent tonight tells me that the underdog is a very dangerous play. James Madison is a good team. Overall, they are 32-3 this season. Yes, I am aware the Duke’s don't face the toughest opposition throughout the season. However, they did go up against the Spartans in their season opener, back in the beginning of November and beat them, 79-76 in overtime as a 16.5-point underdog. The victory started their campaign off with a string of 14 games without a loss. This team can score, they're extremely accurate overall from the field (and from downtown), and they are monsters at both ends of the court on the boards. I think the line is a little off here. Take James Madison. Thank you. |

03-24-24 | Colorado +4 v. Marquette | 77-81 | Push | 0 | 2 h 40 m | Show | |
Colorado Buffaloes. Early Winner. Game 829. 9:10 AM PST/12:10 PM EST. As of posting this play, I see more money coming in on Marquette here. And why not? It makes sense to me as well. This is a team that finished in third place in the very physical, Big East Conference. However, Colorado also finished in third place in the Pac -12 and can play physical basketball. The Buffaloes are playing some very solid basketball right now. As a matter of fact, they enter this matchup going 10-1 straight up their last 11 outings. This postseason they are 4-1, both straight up and against the spread. And I feel giving this team points is a mistake here. Colorado possesses an explosive offense, scoring over 80.6 points per game and hitting 50% from the field. They're also sharpshooters from downtown, hitting 40% beyond the arc. That would be enough for me to take notice of this team in this matchup. However, they're also monsters at both ends of the court on the boards. I do feel the difference in this match is going to be in two areas; the first area is going to be the disparity between the Buffaloes three-point shooting offense, and the Golden Eagles less than stellar, three-point shooting defense. The second contrast is definitely from the free-throw line. This game should get physical. And the Buffaloes hit 77.7% from the line, while the Golden Eagles hit a 70.8%. Those two factors are going to be the difference here and keep this game a lot closer than the points. Take Colorado. Thank you. |

03-23-24 | Michigan State v. North Carolina -3.5 | 69-85 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
North Carolina Tar Heels. RD 2 GOY. Game 790. 2:30 PM PST/5:30 PM EST. Make no mistake of it, this may be Rd 2 of the Big Dance, but both Michigan State and North Carolina are concentrating on this matchup. You won’t see any look-ahead mistakes here. These two teams know each other well, and trust me when I tell you, dislike each other quite a bit. Having said that, the Spartans aren't the same team, we have grown to know over the last several decades (lol). This is a team, yes, I will admit, that has reached the 20-game milestone (20-14). But this team is not beating anyone with authority, nor are they competing too well against some of the nation’s better opponents. Throw into the mix they are just, 3-7 on the road this season. And you've got to worry about them for sure here today. With all respect, the Tar Heels are basically playing a home game. They are in their home state of North Carolina as this game is being played in Charlotte. This is going to be a very friendly crowd for UNC, and a very angry crowd towards the visitor. North Carolina has proven that they have the talent and the depth not just to win, but to win big against solid opposition when it counts. Take the Tar Heels. Thank you. |

03-22-24 | Vermont v. Duke -12 | Top | 47-64 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
Duke Blue Devils. Crusher play. Game 760. 4:10 PM, PST/7:10 PM EST. Facing Duke in Tournament play following the Blue Devils back-to-back defeats to end their regular season/conference tournament campaign, is going to prove to be fatal for Vermont. Yes, the Catamounts finished first in the American East. However, this is a team, which really doesn't step up out of their comfort zone very often. As a matter of fact, the only time this season they stepped up and out, would be in mid-December on the road at Virginia Tech when they got crushed, 73-51. Duke has no problems putting the hurt on opponents. As a matter fact, you can even say that they take enjoyment in it. I just don't see their opponent keeping pace with them on the scoreboard here. The Blue Devils average over 80.2 points per game, hit over 48% from the field, 38% from downtown… all this and they are great on the boards as well. Take Duke. Thank you. |

03-22-24 | Texas A&M +1.5 v. Nebraska | 98-83 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Texas A&M Aggies Top Tier play. Game 779. 3:50 PM PST/6:50 PM EST. A mistake commonly made this time of year in college basketball by the gamblers is judging two teams that are matched up in the tournament from different conferences and different seeding. In other words, a lot of the general public is going to come in on Nebraska here because they are the third-ranked team in the Big Ten as opposed to Texas A&M, which happen to be the seventh team in the SEC. I'm here to tell you the Aggies are playing some great basketball at the right time. Following a five-game, straight up and against the spread hot streak, they come off an ugly five-point loss on the road at the hands of Florida and their last contest. I look for this team to come out here, bounce back and earn a little redemption for themselves. They are monsters at both ends of the court on the boards, and to be honest with you, if you're worried about them being a lower seed coming from another conference, don't be. Nebraska had a very difficult time in two matchups with Ohio State this season, winning one and losing one. However, Texas A&M played this team very early in the season and crushed them. Take the Aggies. Thank you. |

03-22-24 | Colorado +1.5 v. Florida | 102-100 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
Colorado Buffaloes. Oddsmakers Mistake play. Game 769. 1:30 PM PST/4:30 PM EST. Guys, there's no doubt in my mind Colorado shouldn't be a slight favor here. But that's OK. We'll take advantage of the mistake made by the oddsmakers. The Buffaloes enter today's matchup, running red-hot, winning nine of their last 10 straight up, and covering seven of those 10 against the spread. This is a team that's playing some of the best basketball right now. Meanwhile, Florida, is playing some pretty good ball themselves. However, they have been a bit more inconsistent, going just 6-4 straight up their last 10 outings, while only covering four of those 10 outings. To be quite honest, I see Colorado stampeding Florida here. They own an explosive offense, averaging over 80.6 points per game, hit just shy of 50% from the floor, 40% from downtown, nearly 78% from the free-throw line, and are monsters at both end of the court on the boards. Take the Buffaloes. Thank you. |

03-22-24 | Yale v. Auburn -13.5 | 78-76 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
Auburn Tigers. HR play. Game 782. 1:15 PM PST/4:10 PM EST. If you're worried about the point spread in this matchup, don't be. There is no basketball court on this planet that Auburn shouldn't be able to cover this amount of points against Yale. These two teams last met in December of 2021 when the Tigers prevailed over the Bulldogs, 86-64. Auburn enters this contest running red-hot, riding a six-game straight up win streak. This is a team that enjoys feasting on lesser opponents. Yale is a decent team, no doubt about that. But they did take beatings at the hands of teams like Gonzaga and Kansas this season. As a matter of fact, they lost both of those contests by 15 points each. They just don't have the personnel to compete here on either side of the court with this huge step up in class. Take the Tigers. Thank you. |

03-21-24 | St. Peter's v. Tennessee -21.5 | 49-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Tennessee Volunteers. Crusher Play. Game 728. 6:20 PM PST/9:20 PM EST Saint Peter’s might be a decent team in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. But going against one of the best teams in SEC, is going to prove to be fatal for them. The Volunteers are looking pretty darn strong, especially after a seven game straight up win streak prior to last weeks, back-to-back losses to end the regular season. Look for the Volunteers to bounce back with a vengeance here, and make an example out of an inferior and outclassed opponent. Take Tennessee. Thank you. |

03-21-24 | Colorado State +2.5 v. Texas | Top | 44-56 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
Colorado State Rams Tournament Round 1 Best Bet. Game 731. 3:50 PM PST/6:50 PM EST. Guys, giving Colorado State points in a matchup like this I feel as a real mistake. I know there are just the seventh seed in the Mountain West, while Texas is the eighth seed in the Big 12. However, the Rams are surging. They have won five of their last six straight up, and they are playing their best basketball of the campaign so far. Texas has dropped five of their last 10 outings, straight up, and have only covered four of those 10. When asked to step up out of their comfort zone and out of conference play, this team meets all challenges. This is way too many points to give a very talented, very game Colorado State team. Take the Rams. Thank you. |

03-21-24 | Nevada -115 v. Dayton | 60-63 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
Nevada Wolfpack on the money line. Shocker play. Game 753. 1:30 PM, PST/4:30 PM EST. Guys, I just don't see Nevada being this much of an underdog in this situation with Dayton. Granted, the Flyers are a heck of a team. However, a lot of their accolades have been given to them because of their undefeated record at home. They are 15-0 on their own court this season. However, today's matchup is playing at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. So, I don't see them being this much of a favorite here my friends. Especially against the team that comes off their first loss, in more than a month. That's right, Nevada was riding a seven-game straight up win streak, in which they went 6-1 ATS prior to last week’s embarrassing seven-point loss at home at the hands of Colorado State. I look for this team to get back on track and advance to the next round of this Tournament. Take the Wolfpack. Thank you. |

03-21-24 | Oregon -128 v. South Carolina | 87-73 | Win | 100 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
Oregon Ducks on the moneyline. Oddsmakers Mistake play. Game 737. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. Oregon matches up pretty darn well with South Carolina and come into today's contest striding. The Ducks have won four in a row and seven of their last 10 straight up, while the Gamecocks are just 5-4 their last night outings. Both teams have a couple of major players that are banged up and are not expected to see action here (check status). Oregon possesses a little too much power offensively for the South Carolina to keep up with. Take the Ducks. Thank you. |

03-21-24 | Long Beach State v. Arizona -20 | 65-85 | Push | 0 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
Arizona Wildcats. High Roller. Game 756. 11:00 AM PST/2:00 PM EST. My friends, there is no alternative universe which would make me think Long Beach State has a chance in hell in this matchup. The Wildcats are one of the best teams in the country and have been since the opening day of the campaign. And getting them coming off a loss at the hands of Oregon six days ago is going to further motivate this team to win big here. Long Beach State just does not possess the same level of talent or faces the same level of competition as their opponent. When they did step up in class, they did OK against the likes of Michigan. However, I think we all agree that Michigan is not Arizona. I just don't see this team competing at either end of the court with the Wildcats. Take ‘Zona. Thank you. |

03-19-24 | South Florida +6 v. UCF | 83-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
South Florida Bulls. NIT Opening Round Best Bet. Game 685. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. South Florida is no stranger Central Florida. It was only up until a season ago these two teams saw each other every year. As a matter fact, last January and February, the Bulls won and covered both meetings against the Knights. Now they are in different conferences. And guess what? South Florida took first place in the AAC, with an overall record of 23-6, while Central Florida possessed the 12th spot in the Big 12 at 16-14. While the Knights certainly own solid defense, they are offensive leaves a lot to be desired and I think will be a bit outclassed here in this matchup. This is way too many points to give a very game very talented Bulls team. Takes South Florida. Thank you. |

03-16-24 | St Bonaventure v. Duquesne | 60-70 | Win | 100 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
Duquesne Dukes on the moneyline. Oddsmakers Mistake play. Game 608. 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST. Duquesne has taken both meetings with St. Bonaventure this season, winning and covering each matchup. They enter tonight's contest red-hot, winning six in a row and eight of their last nine straight up, while covering seven of those nine. The Dukes possess the more experienced, better-coached, and overall, stronger roster. Take Duquesne. Thank you. |

03-16-24 | UAB +2.5 v. South Florida | 93-83 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
UAB Blazers. AAC CRUSHER. Game 617. 12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST. UAB is a darn good squad. They took down South Florida in the only meeting this season, back in the first week of January at home, 75-71. That victory gave the Blazers their third consecutive win over the Bulls. They come into this contest winning seven of their last 10, both straight up and against the spread, which includes in the last three both SU/ATS. Yes, South Florida is a strong team. No doubt about that. But UAB is just as explosive offensively, scoring 77.3 points per game. And are far superior at both ends of the court on the boards. The Blazers will do what they did in the last matchup with the Bulls, and dominate the glass, while overwhelming them at the line. Take UAB. Thank you. |

03-15-24 | Florida +4.5 v. Alabama | Top | 102-88 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Florida Gators. Oddsmakers Mistake Play. Game 825. 6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST. Guys, in all sincerity, I think this line should be closer to Pick ‘em. The oddsmakers are being very generous in making Alabama this much of a favorite. I know how good of a team they are. Not looking to ruffle any feathers here. But this team loses a little something when they travel. That's for sure. I mean they're just 3-7 away from home this season. When it comes to neutral site games, I believe they are a dismal 1-4 straight up on neutral site games this season. The Gators can keep pace offensively with the Crimson Tide, for sure. Plus, they are monsters on both end of the court on the glass. Take Florida. Thank you. |

NC State Wolfpack. ACC Annihilator. Game 849. 6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST. Well, NC State certainly plays very competitively in this rivalry. They have taken four of the last seven meetings straight up. They have covered both games this season. They match up pretty well here. Take the points with the Wolfpack. Thank you. |

03-14-24 | St. John's v. Seton Hall +4 | 91-72 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 14 m | Show | |
Seton Hall Pirates. Game 746. 11:30 AM PST/2:30 PM EST. Granted, Rick Pitino read his team the riot act after their last defeat. St. John’s squandered a 19-point lead against visiting, Seton Hall and lost for the eighth time in 10 games back on February 18. This team has since rattled off five consecutive straight up victories since. However, let's not overthink this too much my friends. The Pirates are a damn good team, are playing in the confines of Madison Square Garden, in which they will have a very friendly crowd, and they have the confidence of knowing that they've won and covered the last four meetings in this conference rivalry, which does include both meetings this season. Giving this team this many points is a mistake. Take the Pirates. Thank you. |

03-12-24 | Gonzaga -3.5 v. St. Mary's | 60-69 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Gonzaga Bulldogs. Game 633. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. I am well aware that these are the top two teams in the West Coast Conference. St. Mary's leads the WCC at 15-1. Gonzaga is just behind them at 14-2. Overall, they have very similar records as well as the Gaels sport a 25-7 overall record, while the Bulldogs own a 25-6 mark. The difference is Gonzaga comes in here red-hot, winning nine in a row straight up, and covering six of those nine. Meanwhile St. Mary's has played quite well too. However, these are not the same two teams that began this season. And the Gaels are playing on back-to-back evenings for the first time this season. The Bulldogs are experienced, well-coached, and keep their composure as good as any team in the country. They have one of the most explosive offenses in college basketball, and are equally strong at both ends of the court on the boards. Their opponent tonight will be without they're starting forward, Joshua Jefferson, who averaged over 10.2 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game during the regular season. His absence will be a huge loss for St. Mary's here today. Even if he was on the court, I would still like Gonzaga. But he's not and I like them even more. Lay the short price here with the Bulldogs. Thank you. |

03-09-24 | North Carolina +5.5 v. Duke | 84-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
North Carolina Tar Heels. Game 693. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST. With the win tonight, North Carolina locks up the conference regular season title. If Duke gets the victory, these two teams share the conference regular season crown. And I don't think that's going to sit well with either one of them. I just don't see the Blue Devils being this much of a favorite in this matchup. Granted they're playing at home. But the Tar Heels are no slouch on the road. They also come into this matchup red-hot, winning five in a row. They took the earlier meeting at home, 93-84 about five weeks ago. I don't see why this contest would have any different of an outcome. On both sides of the court, North Carolina is just as explosive. Take the points with the Tar Heels. Thank you. |

03-08-24 | Magic -115 v. Knicks | 74-98 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Orlando Magic on the money line. Game 567. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Both Orlando and New York are looking to stay in the upper half of the Eastern Conference. Currently, the Magic own a half-game lead over the Knicks in the conference, sitting in the fourth seed. These two teams seem to be going in different directions though. Orlando is red-hot, winning eight of their last nine straight up, and covering seven of those nine, while New York is ice-cold, dropping seven of their last 10 straight up and eight of their last 10 against the spread. The Magic did take the earlier meeting this season over New York at home, 118-100. That win and cover gave Orlando their fourth consecutive in this Eastern Conference rivalry. This team is healthier, has a little more to play for, it's playing hotter, and possesses the more frustrating defense. Take the Magic on the money line. Thank you. |

03-06-24 | LSU +4 v. Arkansas | 83-94 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
LSU. Game 687. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. My friends, the line is way off here. The oddsmakers are giving Arkansas way too much credit because they're playing at home and also because there is a revenge factor. That just doesn't make sense to me. Yes, the Tigers took down the Razorbacks at home at the beginning of February, 95-74. This team hit a little bit of a funk following that victory. But over the last five games are 4-1 straight up, and have covered four of their last six overall outings. Meanwhile, Arkansas is definitely struggling. They are just 14-15 overall, which does include a 5-11 record in conference play this season. Recently, they dropped a game outright at home at the hands of Vanderbilt, and then took a beating on the road by Kentucky. I think if they would've bounced back, they would've done it against the Wildcats. LSU has just two games remaining; this game tonight and then this Saturday at home against Missouri. To guarantee they stay in the top eight seeds in the conference, they will need to win out. But it all starts with a victory here. Defensively, and on the boards, the visitor is far superior. Take the Tigers. Thank you. |

03-04-24 | Duke -6 v. NC State | 79-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Duke Blue Devils. Game 881. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. The Blue Devils have two games remaining in the regular season, today's contest with the Wolfpack, then Saturday a showdown with the Tar Heels, which currently possess the top spot in the ACC. This is a big win for this team. They do have a chance to take the conference championship. A few things have to happen. But they still have a chance to do so. And facing an NC State opponent they have taken four the last five meetings against, they come in here with confidence. The Wolfpack own a 9-9 record in ACC action. Meanwhile, as you know the Blue Devils, which rank 10th in nation, are 14-4 in conference play this season. This is a team that will have no problems blowing up their opponent’s lackluster defense tonight as they possess a fiery offense which accounts are over 80.3 points per game. They are far superior on both ends of the court on the boards. And they shoot lights out from beyond the arc, a place in which the NC State defense falls way short. Take Duke. Thank you. |

03-03-24 | UAB +7.5 v. Memphis | 87-106 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
UAB. Game 847. 2:30 PM PST/5:30 PM EST. It's true, there aren't a lot of games left in the regular season. As a matter fact, the Blazers have three overall games remaining, while the Tigers two overall games remaining. While UAB is currently locked in at the fourth seed in the AAC, just outside the bubble is Memphis, tied for the fifth seed. Both teams need victories right now. And I certainly believe the healthier visitor here is getting way too many points. The Blazers took down the Tigers about five weeks ago at home, 97-88. This team is playing some very good basketball right now. Not only are they winning, but they have covered seven of their last nine coming into today's matchup. Yes, the Tigers are starting to get a little hot as well. They have won and covered their last three. However, I do like the matchups here. The Blazers are a little tighter on the defensive side of the ball and certainly better on the defensive glass. They have a frustrating and swarming defense that forces mistakes. I believe that will be the key here and keeping this game close. A lot closer than the point spread. Take UAB. Thank you. |

03-03-24 | Bradley v. Drake -4 | 66-74 | Win | 100 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
Drake. Game 840. 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST. This is the last game of the season for both of these teams. Drake is locked in at the number two seed in the Missouri Valley Conference, while Bradley is set at the number three spot. Does that mean that neither team is going to play hard? I don't think so. You see the Bulldogs are a perfect, 15-0 at home this season. They are also out scoring visitors by an average of 17.1 points per game. They would love nothing more than to give their fans a perfect home record this season. They took down Bradley as a visitor about three weeks ago, 74-67. They are better on the boards and clearly possess the more explosive scoring offense. Take Drake. Thank you. |

03-02-24 | New Mexico v. Boise State -3 | 79-89 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
Boise State. Game 760. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. The Broncos have already achieved their goal of a 20-wins season. They currently sit in second place in the conference, just one-game behind Utah State. With just a few games remaining in the regular season, they can take over the top seed in the Mountain West Conference. New Mexico poses a very little threat here. Let's face it, this is a team that's gone 3-4, both straight up and against the spread their last seven games. They're just 5-4 on the road, and despite having a good overall record of 21-7, they are just 9-6 in conference play. The Broncos have dominated the Lobos, taking six of the last seven meetings, both straight up and against the spread. This does include and the only matchup this season, back at the end of January on the road, 86-78. I don't see any reason why this outcome will be any different. Boise State is red-hot, winning and covering their last four outings coming into this matchup. They certainly know the top seed is within their grasp. Take the Broncos. Thank you. |

03-02-24 | Wake Forest +1.5 v. Virginia Tech | 76-87 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Wake Forest. Game 713. 2:30 PM PST/5:30 PM EST. With just three games remaining in the regular season schedule, Wake Forest wants a top-four seeding for the upcoming conference tournament. After this week's matchup against Virginia Tech, they go home to face both Georgia Tech and then Clemson. They need every win they can get right now. And what better team to face to achieve that goal, than Virginia Tech. The Demon Deacons have taken down the Hokies, both straight up and against the spread, the last three meetings. This does include the only meeting this season, back at the end of December. Wake Forest has certainly been more consistent overall, and better against the spread for us. I am aware their road record isn't the greatest. However, they seem to have their opponent’s number. Take Wake Forest. Thank you. |

03-02-24 | Mississippi State +9.5 v. Auburn | 63-78 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Mississippi State. Game 687. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. Someone needs to explain to me why Mississippi State is nearly a double-digit underdog in this matchup. It makes no sense to me. And I've been doing this for decades, my friends. The Bulldogs are 19-9 overall, which does include an 8-7 record in SEC play. This is a team that still has an opportunity to make the top-four for the upcoming conference tournament. It is an outside shot. But it is still definitely do-able mathematically. I just don't see why the home team here is this much of a favorite. I know Auburn is 13-1 at the Neville Arena this season. But they have been very erratic, to say the least. Not only that, but Mississippi State took them down in the late-January matchup at home, 64-58. I don't see a revenge factor here. I just think this is way too many points. The Bulldogs match up pretty well with the Tigers. Granted, Auburn has one of the best offenses in college basketball. However, Mississippi State’s defense is very frustrating. Plus, they can contend with them on both ends of the court on the boards. Take the underdog. Thank you. |

03-02-24 | Iowa State -3.5 v. UCF | 60-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Iowa State. Game 675. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. Iowa State has three games remaining in the regular season. They currently sit in second place in the Big 12, at 11-4. A victory here would ensure them a top-four seed for the upcoming conference tournament. The Cyclones are rolling. They've won eight of their last 10 straight up, going 8-2 against the spread as well. There's just no way the lackluster offense of Central Florida is going to keep pace on the scoreboard here. Especially, because they are going up against a top-10 scoring defense of the Cyclones. Take Iowa State. Thank you. |

03-02-24 | Florida v. South Carolina -130 | 76-82 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
South Carolina on the Money line. Game 610. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. South Carolina has just three games remaining in the regular season: this contest against Florida, then over the next seven days another home game against Tennessee, and take it on the road at Mississippi State. The Gamecocks currently sit at 11-4 in conference play, just behind the Volunteers and Crimson Tide, which are both at 12-3. They must keep their foot on the gas to finish out the season in the top four so they can get the benefits of being one of the first four seeds in conference tournament play. They face a Gators team, which really struggle on the road, going just 3-5 away from home this season. Florida is all about their offensive scoring and their ability for second-chance shots. However, their defense is absolutely deplorable. And facing a very good defense in South Carolina is going to slow down their offense quite a bit. Take the Gamecocks. Thank you. |

02-28-24 | Seton Hall +8.5 v. Creighton | Top | 64-85 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 19 m | Show |
Seton Hall Pirates. Game 751. 6:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. This is a very exciting matchup, in my opinion. The Big East’s third and fourth seeds square off here. The Blue Jays have had their way with the Pirates in this series. They've taken three in a row, both straight up and against the spread, which does include the only matchup this season in January. However, in that matchup, Creighton needed three overtimes to eke out a three-point victory. However, one of Seton Hall's best, Kadary Richmond had his worst night in memory, shooting just 8-for-32. Here is something to think about in this matchup; first of all, revenge. Next, ensuring a top four seed for the upcoming conference tournament. And lastly, the fact that they've won and covered three in a row, they come in here with some momentum. This is way too many points to give a very game and capable Pirate’s team. Take Seton Hall. Thank you. |

02-28-24 | Alabama -5 v. Ole Miss | Top | 103-88 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
Alabama Crimson Tide. Game 753. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Sometimes records can be very misleading. For instance, Mississippi's overall, 19-8 mark. At first glance, it is very impressive. I mean they're just one victory away from achieving the goal of a 20-win regular season. However, this team was 13-0 in non-conference play. I've got to tell you, some of the teams they went up against, you would be hard-pressed to recognize. Lol. They've had some real pushovers. Their conference record is what intrigues me. They are just 6-8 against SEC opponents this season. Let's face, they've lost by 26 at the hands of Tennessee, 23 at Auburn, by 14 at home vs. Auburn, at South Carolina, at Kentucky, and here by 13 points versus South Carolina on Saturday. Oh, by the way, the Gamecocks were without their leading scorer. This team folds like a cheap suit when going up against solid conference opponents. And let's face it, Alabama is a solid opponent. This is a team that also owns a 19-8 overall record, which does include an amazing, 11-3 mark in SEC play. They have dominated ‘Ole Miss, winning and covering six consecutive meetings in this rivalry. Two of their three remaining regular season matchups after this game, happens to be against upper tier conference opponents in Tennessee and Florida. This is a big victory for the team. I don't see the Rebels slowing down, let alone stopping the Crimson Tides No. 1 scoring offense, which counts over 91.1 points per game. They're in trouble in the paint, from downtown, and on both end of courts on the boards here. Take Alabama. Thank you. |

Richmond Spiders Game 727. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. The Spiders sit atop the Atlantic 10 conference at 12-2. Right behind them are the Flyers and the Ramblers both at 12-3. They have a big matchup in their next contest with the Rams. If they want secure their top seed through the conference tournaments, they have to keep their foot on the gas. What better team to Face than the Billikens. They dwell in 14th place in the conference at 3-11. They failed to cover three in a row and eight of their last 10 with a defense that is absolutely atrocious, allowing nearly 79 points per game. Offensively, they're only bright spot is there outside shooting. This does not bode well as Richmond happens to have one of the toughest three-point shooting defenses in college basketball. Take the Spiders. Thank you. |

02-27-24 | Texas v. Texas Tech -3.5 | 81-69 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Texas Tech Red Raiders. Game 650. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Knowing the Longhorns are headed for the SEC after this season, the Red Raiders would love nothing more than to send them off and out of the conference with a victory in front of their loyal fans. Texas Tech took down Texas in their earlier matchup, back at the beginning of January on the road, 78-67. That victory gave them their seventh in the last 10 meetings in this heated rivalry. Oh, and by the way, they have eight ATS cover during the 10 games span, which doesn't include five straight. Texas leaves a lot to be desired when they travel, sporting just a 3-5 straight up record on the road. Meanwhile, Texas Tech is money at the United Supermarkets Arena this season once again going 14-1 at home. Their big, 7-foot forward, Warren Washington returned to play in their last outing. It is expected that he will be on the floor for significant time here. Since their only home defeat this season, back at the beginning of the month at the hands of the Bearcats, the Red Raiders have since won all three games played in Lubbock, over such notables as the Knights, the Jayhawks, and the Horned Frogs. They are too tough at home, and would love to give their supporters a big victory over a hated rival in their final conference matchup with them. Lay the short price with the home team. Take Texas Tech. Thank you. |

Syracuse Orange on the Money Line. Game 634. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. If Syracuse has any chance at all trying to join the Madness in March (lol), they must win out the rest of the regular season. And that starts with a victory here tonight. At 18-10 overall, the Orange enter this matchup winning their last two games. If any team in the ACC is a “Jekyll and Hyde” squad, it is Virginia Tech. Overall, they are 15-12. The contrast is the difference when they play at home as opposed to when they travel. The Hokies possess a 12-2 record when playing host. However, when they hit the road, they are just 1-8. When it comes to covering away games, they are crushing bettors, with just one ATS road victory in those nine true games played as a visitor. This doesn't include four consecutive away losses and no covers. Take Syracuse on the Money Line. Thank you. |

Pitt Panthers. Game 631. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Granted, the Panthers fell to the Tigers back in the beginning of December, 79-70 at home. But that was very early on in the campaign, and their new additions were still trying to mesh and find their rhythm. But since that defeat, Pitt has rattled off a 13-6 overall record, which includes conference road victories at Duke, Georgia Tech, NC State, and Virginia. Predictions currently figure Clemson projected to make the field of 68 teams come Tournament time. However, although they own almost an identical record, Pitt is reported to be just outside of the Tournament field. They enter this matchup red-hot, winning and covering eight of their last 10 outings. They were out rebounded in the first meeting with Clemson, but have since significantly improved at both ends of the court on the boards. They are also one of the most frustrating defenses in the nation at defending the arc. Too many points to give them. Take the Panthers. Thank you. |

Minnesota, Golden Gophers. Smart Money Move. Game 857. 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST. Yes, I am aware Nebraska is in astounding, 16-1 at home this season. But are you aware Minnesota is 23-3 against the spread this season? The Golden Gophers took down the Cornhuskers in their only meeting this season back in December at home, 76=65. If you're worried about them being on the road, don't be. Last March, they took down the Nebraska on their own court, 78-75. The Golden Gophers are money, riding a nine-game cover streak. I just think this is way too many points to give a team that matches up pretty evenly. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

02-25-24 | UAB +2.5 v. Tulane | Top | 78-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
UAB Blazers. Oddsmakers Mistake. Game, 853. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. Someone needs to explain to me why a team that is 9-4 in conference play and 17-9 overall is getting points against the team which is 4-9 in the conference and owns a 13-12 overall mark. It just doesn't make sense to me. I actually have the visitor a small favorite here. Yes, Tulane has an explosive offense. But their defense is getting shredded for over 80.1 points per game. Throw into the mix they are inferior at both ends of the court on the boards in this matchup, and it's just doesn't make sense to me to make UAB, an underdog. Take the Blazers. Thank you. |

02-25-24 | Florida Atlantic -125 v. Memphis | Top | 74-78 | Loss | -125 | 2 h 13 m | Show |
FAU on the Moneyline. AAC GOM Game 833. 11:00 AM PST/2:00 PM EST. Sitting in second place, a few games behind South Florida, Florida Atlantic has a real shot at the conference title. Another big, AAC victory here will put them one step closer to their goal. They face a heated rival that is struggling at the moment. And in my opinion, things are going to go from bad to worse for Memphis. The Tigers head coach, Penny Hardaway has juggled his rotation so much you never know who will be on the floor. And now they've been hit with a huge blow. Fifth year senior forward, 6’9”, 260 lb. Malcolm Dandridge will be sitting due to eligibility issues. He's a big man with a big presence down low. And without him they're will not be able to get as many second chance opportunities, nor will they get too many boards on the defensive side. I look for the 16th ranked offense of the Owls to shred them here, particularly from beyond the arc, where they hit over 36.5%. Take FAU on the Moneyline. Thank you. |

02-24-24 | USC v. UCLA -4.5 | 62-56 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
UCLA Bruins. Late Bailout. Game 796 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. The Bruins took the earlier meeting, approximately one month ago at the Trojans, 65-50. That gave them four straight victories over the last five meetings with their Conference rival. Let's face it, USC has fallen way short of expectations at 10-16 overall, which does include a 1-8 away record. Oh, and by the way, when it comes to Conference play, they are next to last in the Pac-12 at 4-11. They dropped eight of their last 10 straight up. which tells me not much is expected of them here. Meanwhile, UCLA, following a six-game straight up win streak (eight of last 10 straight up) took a one-point tough loss at home in their last outing at the hands of the Utes. I see them bouncing back with a vengeance and redeeming themselves against a team they really truly dislike. Take the Bruins. Thank you. |

Orlando Magic. Slam Dunk Play. Game 545. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. Orlando has been red-hot, winning seven of their last nine straight up, and eight of their last 10 against the spread. They have had their way, like many in the league over Detroit, winning the last four meetings in a row straight up, and covering the last three, which does include both meetings this season. The Pistons are once again struggling. They are riding a four-game straight up losing streak, and they have failed to cover three in a row. They just can't keep pace at either end of the court with the superior Magic. Take Orlando. Thank you. |

02-24-24 | Texas +8.5 v. Kansas | 67-86 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
Texas Longhorns. TV Game Winner. Game 739. 3:00 PM PST/6:00 PM EST. Texas has taken five of the last seven meetings in this series, including the most recent, which took place in Kansas last March. I know how good the Jayhawks are at home, sporting a 13-0 record at the Allen Fieldhouse this season. But let's face it, they just aren’t the team they once were. They failed to cover three of their last four outings, while looking vulnerable from time to time. The Longhorns have a bunch of big guys to battle the Jayhawks in the paint. Take Texas. Thank you. |

02-24-24 | Virginia Tech v. Pittsburgh -2.5 | 64-79 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Pitt Panthers. Crusher Play. Game 718. 2:30 PM PST/5:30 PM EST. It's true, Virginia Tech has dominated this rivalry. But this year, these are two very different teams. The Hokies are just 15-11 overall, and sit in 10th place in the ACC, while the Panthers are 17-9, and hold the sixth seed in the Conference. Virginia Tech is also atrocious on the road, going just 1-7 away from home. Compare that to Pitts 10-5 mark as host. Coming into this matchup, I really like the Panthers here. They were riding a five-game win and cover streak (7-1 both SU/ATS going back a bit further) before an embarrassing, 91-58 road loss at the hands of the Demon Deacons. I expect his team to bounce back with a vengeance and redeem themselves against a team they can certainly manhandle at both end of the court. Pitt comes in here with a frustrating defense and an offense that's pulling down an average of 35 boards per game, which gives them a ton of second chance opportunities. Take the Panthers. Thank you. |

02-24-24 | Alabama +2.5 v. Kentucky | 95-117 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
Alabama Crimson Tide. Game 681. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. Alabama certainly comes into this matchup with more momentum, winning eight of their last 10 straight up, and covering seven of those 10 contests. Meanwhile, Kentucky comes off a very tough loss on the road at LSU a few days ago, 75-74. Without getting consistent minutes from their sophomore big man, I just don't see the Wildcats contending in the paint with the Crimson Tide. Both teams can score on offense, but Kentucky is far better at both end the court on the boards, and far stronger at defending the arc. Take the Crimson Tide. Thank you. |

02-22-24 | SMU +6.5 v. Florida Atlantic | 70-80 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
SMU Mustangs. AAC Game of the Week. Game 741 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. These are two extremely talented teams. They are currently tied for third place in the AAC at 10-3. However, the Mustangs come in here with momentum, winning six in a row and eight of their last 10, while the Owls have split out their last four games. One more thing about FAU, yes, they are extremely good, and overall, are 10-1 at the Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, but they just don't cover there. They are just 1-5 ATS their last six games played as host. It's true, FAU possesses an explosive offense. However, they're going up against one of the most frustrating defenses in college basketball. Not only that, but SMU is equally strong on the offensive and defensive boards, and are one of the toughest teams in the NCAA at defending the arc. I think this game will be a lot closer than the pointspread. Take the underdog. Thank you. |

UNLV Rebels. Late Bail Out. Game 729. 8:00 PM PST/11:00 PM EST. They say revenge of dish best served cold. Well, the last time these two teams met back towards the end of January, UNLV took the worst beating in as far back as I can remember. The Rebels were spanked on their own home court at the hands of the Falcons, 90-58. Prior to that UNLV took eight of nine matchups in this conference rivalry. Since that meeting, Air Force has lost six in a row, both straight up and against the spread. This does include all three games played at the Clune Arena. Take the Rebels. Thank you. |

Kentucky Wildcats. TV Game Winner. Game 721. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Wildcats head coach, John Calipari, finally put in his 7’0”, 250 lbs. sophomore for a significant amount of time, and he crushed it. Because the LSU Tigers play competitively in this rivalry, I believe you're going to see the big man play a lot of minutes once again here tonight. It is true, Kentucky has had their way with LSU taking seven of the last nine SU. With the muscle down low, and the nation’s #1 shooting three-point offense, I feel you'll see Kentucky prevailing pretty easily here. Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |

02-20-24 | Pittsburgh +6.5 v. Wake Forest | 58-91 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Pitt Panthers. ACC Annihilator. Game 641 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. I feel the line is way off in this matchup, my friends. Pitt just took down Wake Forest at home, just under three weeks ago, 77-72. That gave them their third win in their last four meetings with their Conference rival. But this team comes in here rolling, winning and covering five in a row, and seven of their last eight outings overall. This does include winning a covering four of their last five as a visitor. Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons have lost their last two games, both on the road at the Blue Devils and the Cavaliers. This is a team that relies heavily upon their three-point shooting. This does not bode well, as Pittsburgh comes in here ranking 18th in the nation at defending “the three”. They're also much better overall defensively, and at both ends of the court on the glass. Take the Panthers. Thank you. |

02-20-24 | Baylor +4.5 v. BYU | 71-78 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Baylor Bears. Oddsmakers Mistake. Game 643. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Making Baylor this much of an underdog against BYU is a huge mistake. I understand that they’ve lost one of their starting guards (check status) at the beginning of the month. But this team is loaded with playmakers, my friend. This team is getting better as the season is progressing, winning and covering five of their last six outings. By the way, they've also covered four consecutive games played as a visitor. They go up against a BYU opponent, which they have dominated. Just in their most recent matchup, back in the second week of January at home, they took down the Cougars, 81-72. Speaking of BYU, they have been pointspread poison, failing to cover four in a row and seven of their last 10. I understand the Cougars offense is just as explosive as the Bears, but Baylor’s three-point shooting offensively, and their fifth-ranked, defensive rebounding core will be the difference here. This game will be a lot closer than the pointspread. Take Baylor. Thank you. |

02-20-24 | Connecticut -3 v. Creighton | 66-85 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Connecticut Huskies. Big East Blockbuster. Game 633. 5:30 PM PST/8:30 PM EST. This is a very short price to lay, despite being on the road for the Big East’s top team. That's right. Connecticut is 14-1 in Conference play, en route to an overall, 24-2 record. Let's not forget, they haven't dropped a game since before Christmas, winning 14 straight contests. They took down Creighton at home a little more than four weeks ago, 62-48. That gave them their second win in this rivalry in the last three meetings, but their third consecutive cover. While both offices can put up points, the Huskies defense is one of the best in the nation, ranking 15th in points allowed, 11th in field goal percentage, and third on the boards. That's where this game will be won. Take UConn. Thank you. |

UCLA on the Moneyline. Pac 12 Payday Game of the MONTH. Game 864. 4:00 PM PST at 7:00 PM EST. My friends, I'm a big believer in revenge. Especially on the college basketball court. Following a seven-game straight up win streak in this series, UCLA took an embarrassing, 90-44 defeat against Utah back on January 11. Since then, the Bruins have won and covered eight of nine outings. Meanwhile, the Utes, since that big game win over the Bruins, are just 3-6 straight up, and a lowly 2-7 against the spread. Oh, by the way, they have failed to win or cover the last four games played on the road. Take UCLA. Thank you. |

02-18-24 | Seton Hall +6.5 v. St. John's | 68-62 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
Seton Hall Pirates. Oddsmakers Mistake. Game 859. 2:00 PM PST/5:00 PM EST. Guys, I have Seton Hall being at least a 1.5-point favorite here. There are much stronger in Conference play at 9-5 than their counterpart, St. John's, which own a conference record of 6-8. I believe they proved in their earlier matchup, a January 16, 80-65 home win that their guards are much more talented than their counterpart’s backcourt. As a matter fact, that win and cover gave Seton Hall three consecutive wins and covers over St. John's in the last three meetings. By the way folks, the Red Storm aren't so stormy, going just 2-7 their last nine games straight up and being outscored by 8.6 points per game during that span. Take the Pirates. Thank you. |

SMU Mustangs. AAC ANNIHILATOR. Game 856. 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST. There is a lot of reasons to like the Mustangs in this match up here today. For starters, the Tigers have failed to cover four consecutive games played on the road. Next, SMU is 12-3 the last 15 games and only allow 63.2 points per game at home. And lastly, my favorite reason is revenge. The Mustangs took a last second, three-point loss at the hands of Memphis in the most recent matchup. Take SMU. Thank you. |

Utah State Aggies. Mountain West Conference Money Maker. Game 725. 2:30 PM PST/5:30 PM EST. It's hard to ignore the best team in the Mountain West getting this many points against the team they took down six weeks ago. The Aggies bested the Rams back at the beginning of January at home, 77-72. That win gave them six straight up victories in the last 10 meetings in this series, while covering eight of those last 10 meetings. They're starting to heat up, winning five of the last seven, both SU and ATS, while Colorado State took a bad beating in their last outing on the road at San Diego State. I know they have revenge in their eyes, but I just don't see the Rams winning by this many points. The Aggies are more explosive offensively, better on the glass at both ends of the court, and own the eighth-ranked three-point shooting defense in the nation. Take the points with the underdog here. Thank you. |

02-17-24 | LSU v. South Carolina -7 | 64-63 | Loss | -107 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
South Carolina Gamecocks. SEC Slam Dunk play. Game 682. 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST. South Carolina sits in second place in the SEC at 9-3, just one-game behind Alabama. The Crimson Tide have a tough early matchup with the Aggies this morning. Regardless of the outcome, the Gamecocks must keep their foot on the gas here. This is an ideal matchup for them as they took down the Tigers, straight up in the last two meetings, and against the spread in the last three. Speaking of LSU, they have dropped six of their last seven straight up, and to be honest with you, they lose a little luster when on the road. They sport a dismal, 1-6 record this year as a guest. Meanwhile, South Carolina is a monster team. Overall, they possess a 21-4 mark, and that home this season, they are near flawless, at 13-1. As a matter of fact, following their only loss on their home floor back in mid-January at the hands of Georgia, the team has now rattled off four consecutive wins over the likes of Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Vanderbilt, missing four ATS covers by just a half-point. This team does not like losing. Nor do they take a defeat lightly. They come off a road loss, and embarrassing defeat at the hands of Auburn, 101-61. I expect this team to bounce back here with a vengeance and redeem themselves. They possess a frustrating defense that will completely shut down their opponent’s offense. Not only are they stifling, yielding just 65.4 points per game, but there are one of the best in the nation on the defensive glass. Take the Gamecocks. Thank you. |

02-17-24 | Florida -3.5 v. Georgia | 88-82 | Win | 100 | 3 h 14 m | Show | |
Florida Gators. Early Winner. Game 619 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST. To say the Gators have had their way in this series, would be an understatement. They have taken nine consecutive meetings over the Bulldogs, which includes this season’s, only matchup at the end of January in overtime at home, 102-98. They come in to today's contest winning six of their last seven straight up and covering five of those seven. They may not have the most impressive away record, however, they have covered on the road lately, getting us bettors paid ATS in their last three games played as a visitor. This is a team that's just a few wins away from contending in the SEC. They possess a 7-4 conference mark behind an explosive offense, which ranks 11th in scoring accounting for 84.6 points per game and top the nation on the offensive glass, snagging over 41.4 boards per game. I just don't see Georgia contending here. Take Florida. Thank you. |

Virginia Commonwealth Rams. A 10 Annihilator. Game 877. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. At 8-3 in conference play and possessing an overall, 16-8 record, Virginia Commonwealth is playing some very good basketball. On the other hand, St. Louis is not. They are just 9-15 overall, which does include an ugly, 2-9 conference mark. The Rams have dominated the Billikens, taking four in a row, both straight up and against the spread, which includes a mid-January, 85-61 thumping at home. VCU enters this matchup running red-hot, winning and covering eight of their last nine. Oh, by the way they are money on the road as well, going 4-1 both SU and ATS as a true road guest this season. Their defense is one of the best in college basketball, particularly at defending the arc, which is the only bright spot for the St. Louis offense. Take the Rams. Thank you. |

02-16-24 | Niagara +7 v. Fairfield | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Niagara Purple Eagles. Under the Radar winner. Game 879. My friends, as much as we want sportsbetting to be entertaining, sportsbetting is about making money. And one thing Niagara does is make money for people that back them on the road, where they have covered nine consecutive outings. Not only that, but they come into this matchup winning and covering the last three meetings with Fairfield. This doesn't include a mid-January, 96-72 beat down at home. They come in into today's contest winning and covering seven of their last 10 outings. Meanwhile, Fairfield is also running a little hot. They won three in a row and six of the last eight straight up. However, they are absolute pointspread poison, failing to cover six of the last night overall contests. While they are both very similar statistically in points scored, points allowed, and on the boards, the Purple Eagles are much more accurate overall, and from downtown. I just think this is way too many points. Take the underdog here. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors on the ML. Slam Dunk. Game 543. 6:10 PM PST/9:10 PM EST. The Golden State Warriors were struggling for a quite a while in the first half of this basketball campaign. However, momentum is a big part of going into All-Star break. And right now, they're one of the hottest teams in the NBA, winning and covering seven of their last nine outings. They are over .500 at 26-25. and want to keep their food on the gas here for sure. Meanwhile, Utah, which is a talented team, is starting to show signs of fatigue. They have dropped six of their last eight, both straight up against the number. This does include a loss at home just a few days ago to this very opponent, 129-107. The Warriors have taken eight of the last 10 meetings with the Jazz straight up and nine of the last 10 against the spread. Golden State knows what it means to go into the break with some momentum. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

SMU Mustangs on the ML. Best Bet Play. Game 733. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. SMU took the first meeting with Tulane at home, exactly 2 weeks ago, 80–76. The Mustangs are starting to roll, winning four in a row and seven of their last nine straight up. They are currently tied for third place in the AAC at 8-3. Meanwhile Tulane has struggled in conference play, sporting a dismal, 4-7 record against AAC opponents. They've also struggled overall, winning just three of their last 10 SU. In the first meeting, SMU dominated the boards, 49-32. I don't see this matchup being any different. Especially because the Mustang defense is ferocious, ranking 20th in the nation, and allowing a mere, 64.6 points per game. Take SMU. Thank you. |

SIU Salukis. Oddsmakers Mistake Play. Game 687. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. Southern Illinois is playing some very good basketball, and have had their way with Belmont, winning and covering the last two meetings. The most recent matchup, back in the beginning of January, they prevailed, 73-63. They possess a monster defense, and are one of the best in the nation defending from beyond the arc. The Bruins offense lives and dies by their three-point success. Oh, by the way, SIU it's also one of the best in college basketball on the defensive boards. So, I don't see Belmont getting too many second chance opportunities. Take the Salukis. Thank you. |

Richmond Spiders. A-10 Annihilator. Game 662. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. The Spiders possess the best overall record in the Atlantic 10 Conference and are a perfect, 12-0 at home this season. They face a Minutemen opponent that has been struggling on the road, at 1-5. To say Richmond has had their way in this rivalry, would be an understatement. They have taken eight of the last 10 meetings straight up and seven of those 10 against the spread. The Spiders possess a ferocious and frustrating defense that will slow down their opponents offense this evening. Take the Home team. Thank you. |

02-14-24 | St Bonaventure -3.5 v. Fordham | 85-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
St. Bonaventure. Crusher Play. Game 667. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Saint Bonaventure matches up very well with Fordham. I also see them coming into this matchup seeking a little vengeance. The Rams have taken the last three meetings against the Bonnies, both straight up against the spread, which includes a mid-January, 80-74 victory on the road. Since then, Fordham has struggled quite a bit, while St. Bonaventure has been money to us, sportsbettors, covering four of their last five. The Rams are just 2-5 straight up and against the spread since that matchup back in January. The Bonnies are much stronger on the defensive side of the ball and significantly better from the free throw line. Oh, by the way, Fordham has failed to cover their last five games played at home. Take St, Bonaventure. Thank you. |

02-14-24 | Xavier +2.5 v. Seton Hall | 70-88 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Xavier Musketeers. Big East Blockbuster. Game 671. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Xavier may not be the best road team, sporting a 2-5 away record this season. But they have covered four of their last five games played as a visitor. They've also had their way with Seton Hall, taking three matchups in a row, straight up, and covering the last two, which does include this season’s only matchup, back at the end of December at home, 74-54. The Musketeers, match up very well with the Pirates. By the way, despite Seaton Hall owning a slightly better Conference record, they are just 2-4 SU their last six overall outings and 1-5 ATS in those outings. I see the visitor here coming in with some confidence, knowing they have had their way in this series. The wrong team is favored here. Take Xavier. Thank you. |

Saint Mary's. Game 813. 5:30 PM PST/8:30 PM EST. Not only are St. Mary's a perfect, 10-0 in Conference play, they have won 11 in a row, en route to an overall record of 19-6. Oh, by the way, they are also perfect as a guest, sporting a 7-0 record. They are shredding all opponents. This does include taking 10 consecutive meetings with Portland straight up, and covering, six of the 10, riding a five-game ATS win streak. By the way, they've never been less than a double-digit favorite in this matchup over those 10 meetings. The Pilots are in real trouble here. And I don't see why this outcome will be any different than the mid-January, 95-52 beat down at the hands of the Gaels. Portland is a little banged up, and very overmatched. Their lackluster offense will not be able to put up too many points against the nation’s third-ranked scoring defense, which also tops all of college basketball on the defensive boards. Take St. Mary's. Thank you. |

02-10-24 | Baylor +8 v. Kansas | 61-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Baylor. Game 769. 3:00 PM PST/6:00 PM EST. We all know how good the Jayhawks are historically at the Allen Fieldhouse. This season again, they are perfect at 12-0 at home. However, I think we can all agree that this team isn't the same Kansas squad we are used to seeing. While Baylor is just 2-2 SU on the road this season, they are playing great basketball, riding a three-game SU win streak, and covering three of their last four as a guest. The Bears possess an offense that can score on any team in the country, averaging over 83.7 points per game. They are also monsters on both ends of the court on the boards. However, I do think their third-ranked three-point, shooting "O" will be the difference-maker here. This game is going to be a lot closer than the pointspread. Take the ‘dog here. Thank you. |

02-10-24 | Auburn v. Florida +2 | 65-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
Florida. Game 692. 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST. Auburn might be tied with South Carolina and Alabama at 8-2 in conference play. However, this is a huge situation spot for them. The Tigers have won and covered three in a row and eight of their last 10. But Florida comes in here following a heartbreaking, one-point loss on the road at Texas A&M, following a four-game win streak, in which they covered three of four. They also had a few extra days to rest, heal, and prepare for this contest. By the way, the Gators have taken six of the last 10 meetings in this series, straight up, and eight of the last 10 against the spread. This includes all four matchups at home. Take the Gators. Thank you. |

02-10-24 | Connecticut v. Georgetown +16.5 | 89-64 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
Georgetown. Game 606. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. Guys, I am well aware these two teams are at opposite ends of the Big East. The Huskies sit atop the conference at 11-1 and possess an overall record of 21-2. The Hoyas are next to last in the Big East at 1-10 and own an overall mark of 8-14. However, this is not about wins and losses, this is about covering the number. And one thing Georgetown does against Connecticut, is cover the number. They have covered four consecutive meetings in this conference rivalry. They enter this matchup having covered five of their last seven outings. Do I think they're going to win this game outright…absolutely not. However, this is way too many points to give a very pesky underdog. Take the Hoyas. Thank you. |

02-10-24 | Clemson v. Syracuse +4.5 | 77-68 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Syracuse. Game 610. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. Giving Syracuse points at home is a big mistake. The Orange are a very respectable, 11-1 when playing at the JMA Wireless Dome this season. These two teams play each other very competitively. I feel they catch the Tigers at the right time. Clemson is coming off a big upset on the road at North Carolina. I see a serious letdown situation for the team. Take the home ‘dog here. Thank you. |

02-10-24 | Alabama -5.5 v. LSU | 109-92 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
Alabama. Game, 611. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. Losing sole possession of first place in the SEC does not sit well with the Crimson Tide. They are now in a three-way tie with the Gamecocks and the Tigers at 8-2 in conference play. I look for them to bounce back here with a vengeance against a team they have dominated. They have taken eight of the last nine meeting straight up over LSU, including a late-January, 109-88 blowout at home. There's no reason to think that this game will be any different. Roll tide. Thank you. |

02-09-24 | Nuggets +1.5 v. Kings | 106-135 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Denver Nuggets. Slam Dunk Play. Game 541. 7:10 PM PST/10:10 PM EST. For a team that won the NBA Championship last season, and is currently tied for first place in the Western Conference, at 36-16, the Denver Nuggets aren't getting too much respect, are they? Trust me when I tell you, it's not sitting well with the team. Granted, the Sacramento Kings are very respectable, 29-21 overall this season. And I will admit, are a formidable foe. I know they are playing at home. But I still don't see them being favored here. As of posting this play, they are favored by one-point. I have the other side a favorite of 2.5 points. Having said that, I am aware the Nuggets played last night and took down the Lakers on the road, 114-106. It marked the third consecutive win and their eighth in their last 10 outings. They have been playing excellent on the road. And if you're worried about Denver playing on back-to-back days, don't be. They are money on the second of back-to-back games. Meanwhile, Sacramento dropped their last two outings. They got crushed four nights ago on the road in Cleveland, 136-110. They then followed that game up two days ago at home, losing to the sad-sack, Detroit Pistons, 133-120. Normally I would look to play a team to bounce back after an embarrassing defeat like the Kings suffered. But in their only meeting this season, back at the beginning of December, Sacramento took down Denver at home, 123-117. I see revenge as a motivation for the visitor here. While the Kings possess an explosive scoring offense, they leave a lot to be desired on the defensive side of the court. This does not bode well as Denver is superior on both ends of the court on the glass, and possess the NBA's fourth-ranked scoring defense. Once again, they say revenge is a dish best served cold, and I see the Nuggets coming in here with vengeance in their hearts. Take Denver. Thank you. |

02-08-24 | Cavs -5.5 v. Nets | 118-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers. EC GOW. Game 521. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Cleveland is playing some amazing basketball. They sit atop the Central Division at 33-16, which is good enough for them to have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. They are rolling, winning seven in a row and 15 of their last 16 straight up covering, 11 of those 16 outings. They have dominated Brooklyn, taking the last four meetings in a row SU, which includes both this season. The Nets are in trouble. Not only are they banged up and depleted, but they are really struggling at 20-30. They have lost and fail to cover three consecutive games played at the Barclays Center. I just don't see their lackluster offense doing anything against the very frustrating, third-ranked defense of the Cavaliers here. Take Cleveland. Thank you. |

02-08-24 | Warriors +6.5 v. Pacers | 131-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors. Slam Dunk Play. Game 515. 4:10 PM PST/710 PM EST. Golden State is in a very uncharacteristic situation right now. They sit in last place in the Pacific Division with a record of 23-25. Overall, they are 11th in the Western Conference. If they are going to make a serious run at the postseason, they must turn the corner now. And believe it or not, they are starting to stride. The Warriors have won four of their last five, both straight up and against the spread which includes three of four during their current road trip. While the Pacers are a respectable, 29-23, they are showing some signs of inconsistency. They've only covered four of their last 10 overall games and have failed to cover three straight at home. Both teams can score a ton of points. But the Indiana defense has been absolutely atrocious, allowing over 122.5 points per game and 50.2% shooting from the field. Offensively, they are a powerhouse. But much of their offensive success relies upon their ability to shoot from beyond the arc. And facing a Golden State opponent, which ranks in the top 10 defending the three, is going to be very frustrating here. This is way too many points. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

02-06-24 | Thunder -138 v. Jazz | 117-124 | Loss | -138 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
Thunder. Late Bailout. Game 581. 6:10 PM PST. Very quietly, the Thunder have taken over the Western Conference, sharing the number one spot with the Timberwolves, at 35-15. They enter tonight's matchup with confidence, knowing they have won and covered five straight meetings with the Jazz, including both this season. I am well aware that this morning’s injury report has a slew of OKC's players listed as questionable. But it looks like their nucleus are all healthy. Having said that, I just don't see Utah competing in this matchup. In every major category, the Thunders offense ranks in the top-five, which does not bode well for the Jazz, which possess a defense that has become a league doormat. Lay the short price with the visitor. Thank you. |

02-06-24 | Boise State +5.5 v. Colorado State | 62-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
BSU. MWC MM. Game 649. 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST. Boise State has a real opportunity to take hold of the Mountain West Conference with a victory here tonight. They are currently tied for first place with Utah State at 7-2 in conference play. Utah State is playing Nevada this evening with the same start time. No matter what, the Broncos must keep their foot on the gas here. They have dominated the Rams, taking the last three meetings in a row straight up, and covering two of the three, missing all three ATS wins by just a half-point. This is a team that does not falter when traveling, as they are 4-1 straight up on the road this season. So, I feel giving them points. Here is a mistake. While Colorado State is a good team, I don't see this would be any different of an outcome than the 65-58 win Boise State just had against them at home back on January 9. The Broncos possess a frustrating defense and are far superior on the boards. Oh, by the way, they're also monsters at defending “the 3”, an area of which CSU relies upon offensively. Take BSU. Thank you. |

02-06-24 | Magic +3 v. Heat | 95-121 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Magic. SD play. Game 577. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. I feel the line is way off here. Miami, despite being at home, should not be this high of a favorite. I actually feel the line should be at least a “Pick ‘em” or maybe Orlando -1.0. I understand that each team has won and covered a meeting in this series this season at home. But Orlando comes in here red-hot, winning three in a row and four of their last five straight up, while covering their last five straight. Miami is a train wreck. They are the epitome of inconsistency. Moreover, they are a little bit banged up and depleted on their bench. I see their starters getting tired, especially come the second half. Take the points with the underdog. Thank you. |

02-06-24 | VCU -3.5 v. Fordham | 75-60 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
VCU. A 10 GOM. Game 619. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. VCU will take this opportunity against a lesser opponent, to notch another conference victory. This team sits in third place in the Atlantic 10 at 6-3 in conference play. They have dominated Fordham, taking six in a row and nine of the last 10 straight up. They enter this matchup red-hot, winning and covering six of their last seven overall outings. Meanwhile, their opponent just doesn't have the personnel to contend in this matchup. Fordham, already struggling offensively, is in for very long night here facing one of college basketball's most frustrating defenses. Take VCU. Thank you. |

02-04-24 | Blazers +14 v. Nuggets | 103-112 | Win | 100 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
Blazers. Late Bailout. Game 557. 5:40 PM PST/8:40 PM EST. There is no question that Portland isn't a very good team, while Denver is. However, this isn't about wins and losses. This is about covering the number. The Nuggets took down the Blazers just a few days ago, 120-108 on their home floor. However, they failed to cover the big number. And yet there's another big number here tonight. I want you to know Portland enters this matchup covering seven of their last 10 overall, which does include three of four games as a double-digit underdog. On the other hand, Denver is once again being overvalued. This is a team that has failed to cover three straight as a double-digit favorite. As a matter of fact, my friends, they've only covered seven of their last 10 overall games. As I mentioned earlier, they are significantly overvalued. Take the points with the ‘dog and take your bookmakers money. Thank you. |

02-04-24 | Clippers -4 v. Heat | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Clippers. Slam Dunk. Game 545. 3:10 PM PST/6:10 PM EST. My friends, we all know how good Jimmy Butler is. And yes, the Heat have won and covered their last two outings. Let's not forget this team overall, is not great. Their supporting cast has just not stepped up when they need to. Prior to the last two games, this team was on a seven-game straight up losing streak, failing to cover eight in a row. Meanwhile, the Clippers are a solid team, folks. They won eight of their last 10 straight up and seven of those ten against the number. They took down Miami 121-104 on January 1 at home. And my opinion this line is very short. I just don't see the lackluster, Heat offense competing on the scoreboard with the top-10 ranked, explosive offense of the Clippers. To make matters worse, on the opposite end of the court, Los Angeles ranks the top-10 in every major category. I just don't see Miami grabbing any rebounds, let alone putting up a fight. Take Los Angeles. Thank you. |

02-04-24 | Providence +4.5 v. Villanova | 50-68 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Providence. Best Bet. Game 885. 3:00 PM PST/6:00 PM EST. Very simply, the line is way off here. There is no way the Wildcats should be favorite here, let alone this much of a favorite. The Friars took both of last season’s meeting straight up, and have covered three in a row against their conference rival. Following a three-game win streak they fell short less than a week ago on the road at the Huskies. On the other hand, Villanova is absolutely horrible, dropping six of their last seven straight up, including five in a row, and failing to cover six of their last eight. I just don't see this team being a favorite here. Maybe it's because they're playing at home. But they're really no bargain at 6-4 at the Wells Fargo Center this season. Providence possesses the best player on the court tonight in guard, Devin Carter. The floor leader is averaging over 18.7 points per game and 8.1 rebounds per game. Not only that, though but their defense is absolutely ferocious allowing your 66.5 points per game less than 40% shooting from the floor. At both ends of the court they outclass the home team. Take the Friars. Thank you. |

02-03-24 | Middle Tennessee v. Western Kentucky -6 | 65-88 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Late Bail Out. Game 772. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. There is no question that the line of this game is off. In all sincerity, it should be at least double-digits. Middle Tennessee is winless on the road, while Western Kentucky is 9-1 at home. The Hilltoppers possess an explosive offense, averaging over 80.4 points per game and our monsters on the glass, snagging over 36.6 rebounds per game on the offensive boards. While the Raiders have a decent defense, offensively, they are just deplorable. They will not be able to keep pace on the scoreboard. Take Western Kentucky. Thank you. |
