04-14-19 | Padres +1.5 v. Diamondbacks | 4-8 | Loss | -170 | 6 h 60 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on San Diego +1.5. San Diego sits in first place in the NL West, but the Padres will be an underdog on the road at Arizona today. The D'Backs are struggling, sitting 4.5 games back in the standings with a record of 6-9. Eric Lauer will toe the slab for San Diego, and the 23 year old has been spectacular so far this season. He allowed just one run on seven hits over five innings in a win at Arizona last year, his only previous start at Chase Field. The D'Backs hand the ball to Zack Greinke, who is still one of the best pitchers in the National League. He allowed four runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 5-4 home win over Texas his last time out. Manuel Margot has not been fooled by Greinke, going 6-for-10 with a home run lifetime versus the veteran. Take SD. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-14-19 | Pirates +1.5 v. Nationals | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 9* play on Pittsburgh +1.5. The Pirates have split the first two games of this series in Washington, and they will be a big underdog in the rubber match. Jameson Taillon will toe the slab for the Pirates, and he's coming off a rough start his last time out. He's 0-2 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts this season, after finishing last season strong by going 8-3 with a 2.33 ERA in his final 13 starts. The Nats hand the ball to Max Scherzer, who is 0-2 at home so far. The 34 year old pitched well in losses to the Mets and Phillies. The Nats will hope he can go deep into this game, because their bullpen is statistically the worst in the majors. Take PIT. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-13-19 | Pirates +1.5 v. Nationals | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Colorado +1.5. The Rockies lost again last night in San Francisco, falling 3-2 in extra innings. They will be a big underdog in Game 3, and I like their chances of taking advantage of a struggling Giants ace. Madison Bumgarner will toe the slab for the Giants, and he's not the pitcher he once was. The 29 year old has given up a dozen runs on 14 hits over 19 innings in three starts. The Giants lost all three of those games, and he surrendered four home runs. The Rockies hand the ball to Kyle Freeland, who is 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA in his last four starts versus San Francisco. The Rockies are 23-8 in Freelands last 31 starts. Take COL. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-12-19 | Blue Jackets v. Lightning -1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on TB. The Lightning were in a class of their own in the regular season, finishing 21 points ahead of second place Boston. They did finish first in the East last season, but it was nowhere near as impressive as the show they put on in 2019. They went all the way to the Conference Finals last year, and lost in seven games to the eventual Stanley Cup champions Washington. They cruised through their first round series verus the Devils in five games, winning Game 1 by a score of 5-2. Columbus had to fight like dogs just to get in to the playoffs, and at times they didn't look like a playoff team. They will likely find themselves overwhelmed and overmatched here in Game 2. Take TB. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-12-19 | Pirates +1.5 v. Nationals | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Pittsburgh Pirates +1.5. The 6-5 Nats will be a huge favorite in Game 1 of this home series versus the 6-5 Pirates, and there appears to be value in fading the home favorite. Patrick Corbin will toe the slab for the Nats, and he's been just average so far. The southpaw allowed three runs on six hits over six innings in a loss to the Mets his last time out. All three runs came by way the long ball. The Pirates hand the ball to right-hander Trevor Williams, who is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA so far in 2019. He is coming off a fantastic season last year, finishing with a 3.11 ERA in 31 starts. The Nationals lineup is batting a combined .205 in previous meetings versus Williams. It's also notable that the Nats have statistically the worst bullpen in baseball so far this season. Take PIT. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-10-19 | Blue Jackets v. Lightning -1.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tampa Bay. The Lightning were in a class of their own in the regular season, finishing 21 points ahead of second place Boston. They did finish first in the East last season, but it was nowhere near as impressive as the show they put on in 2019. They went all the way to the Conference Finals last year, and lost in seven games to the eventual Stanley Cup champions Washington. They cruised through their first round series verus the Devils in five games, winning Game 1 by a score of 5-2. Columbus had to fight like dogs just to get in to the playoffs, and at times they didn't look like a playoff team. They will likely find themselves overwhelmed and overmatched here in Game 1.

04-07-19 | Rangers +1.5 v. Angels | 2-7 | Loss | -152 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Texas Rangers +1.5. The Rangers come into Game 4 in LA looking to salvage a series split after losing two of the first three games. They appear to have a favourable matchup here in the series finale. Shelby Miller will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and the 28 year old had a decent firt start for Texas. He's only faced LA once in his career, earning a win after allowing a pair of runs in six innings. The Halos hand the ball to Chris Stratton, who got smoked in his first start this season. Stratton allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings in a loss to Seattle. Last year the right-hander was 2-2 with a 7.02 ERA in eight starts in day games. The Angels are batting just .201 as a team so far this season. Take TEX. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-07-19 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Indians | 1-3 | Loss | -145 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Toronto Blue Jays +1.5. The Jays have lost seven of their first 10 games, but three of those losses came by just one run. They look to avoid a sweep here at Cleveland, an with a favorable matchup on the mound, I like their chances. Marcus Stroman will toe the slab for Toronto, and he's given up just two runs in two starts so far this season. The right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last five starts against the Indians. The Tribe will had the ball to Mike Clevinger, who tossed seven scoreless innings striking out a dozen in a no decision against the White Sox in his season debut. Justin Smoak is 2-for-4 with a home run lifetime versus Clevinger. Take TOR. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-06-19 | Rangers v. Penguins -1.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pens still have work to do, with a chance to improve their playoff position in the final game of the season at home against the Rangers. New York suffered a tough loss on home ice last night, falling 3-2 to Columbus in a shootout. The Blue Shirts are ready to hit the golf course, so don't expect a big push back from New York on the road. The Pens are 4-1 in the last five head to head meetings, and they covered the puckline in all four of those wins. Take PIT. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-06-19 | Auburn +6 v. Virginia | Top | 62-63 | Win | 100 | 87 h 58 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Auburn. In recent memory, this Virginia team has been a juggernaut in the regular season, but they always disappoint in the NCAA Tournament. Things got really bad when they were bounced in the first round last year losing to UMBC. Then in their first game of this Tournament, they got blown out in the first half by Gardner Webb. They have avoided disaster with wins by the closest of margins against Oregon and Purdue, and really needed a miracle to get past the Boilermakers. Auburn's journey to the Final Four has been far more impressive, beating Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina in their last three games. I'll take the Tigers plus the points against a fragile looking favorite. Take AUB. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-05-19 | Cubs +1.5 v. Brewers | 10-13 | Loss | -175 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Chicago Cubs +1.5. The Cubs won in Texas on Opening Day, but they have lost five straight since. They look to get back on track here in Milwaukee, and they appear to have a favorable matchup in Game 1. Jose Quintana will toe the slab for the Cubs, and he has owned the Brewers in previous meetings. He's 5-2 with a 1.88 ERA in his last nine starts against the Brewers. He's 3-1 with a 1.60 ERA in his last five starts at Miller Park. The Brewers hand the ball to Brandon Woodruff, who hasn't really fooled the Cubs. He's 0-0 with a 5.91 ERA over 10 2/3 innings against the Cubs since 2016. The Brewers have won five of six games, but they only covered the runline in one of those games. Take CHC. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-04-19 | Canucks v. Predators -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 34 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Nashville. The Vancouver Canucks are ready to go golfing. They bring a three game winning streak into tonight's game at Nashville, but I think that's all the more reason to pack it in as they play their final two games of the year on the road. The Predators are playing for home ice advantage in the playoffs, so they will be gunning for a win without a doubt. Pekka Rinne has owned Vancouver at home. He's an incredible 42-15-3 in his last 60 home starts. The Canucks have lost four of five at Bridgestone Arena. Take NAS. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-04-19 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Capitals | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 22 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 5* play on Montreal +1.5. The Habs will likely need to run the table in order to sneak into the playoffs, but given their recent play they might just be able to pull it off. Montreal is 6-1-1 in their last eight overall, and Carey Price has been dominant down the stretch. He was brilliant in a 3-1 win at Winnipeg on Saturday, stopping 23-of-24 shots. This game won't mean nearly as much to Washington, as the Caps have already clinched a playoff berth and they are three points clear of the Islanders in the Metropolitan Division. The road team has won seven of the last nine head to head meetings, and five of those games were decided by just one goal. Take MTL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-03-19 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Padres | 1-4 | Loss | -174 | 17 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Arizona +1.5. The Arizona Diamondbacks are 3-3 overall this season, and 4-2 as a runline underdog. I'll take Arizona plus the runs again in Game 2 in San Diego. Robbie Ray will toe the slab for the visitors, looking to bounce back from a loss to the Dodgers on Opening Day. He's owned the Padres, going 5-1 with a 3.74 ERA in his last 10 starts against San Diego. The Friars hand the ball to Joey Lucchesi, who blanked the Giants for 5 1/3 innings while winning his season debut. His numbers against Arizona are frightening (for Padres fans). He's 0-5 with a 6.07 ERA in six starts against the D'Backs. Take ARI. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-03-19 | Rockies +1.5 v. Rays | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Rockies +1.5. After opening the season with back to back road wins in Miami, the Rockies come into Game 3 of this series in Tampa as losers of four straight. I like their chances of getting back on track here with German Marquez on the mound. Marquez allowed one run on two hits, striking out seven in six innings in a win over the Fish in his season debut. The right-hander was 8-5 with a 2.95 ERA in 17 starts on the road last season. The Rays hand the ball to Charlie Morton, who looked sharp in his season debut. The Rockies are 5-0 in Marquez's last five interleague starts. The Rockies are 9-4 in their last 13 interleague games. Take COL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-03-19 | White Sox +1.5 v. Indians | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the CWS +1.5. The White Sox have just one win in four games so far, and they will be a big underdog in Game 2 at Cleveland. The Indians are just 2-2 after four games, and they rank 29th in the majors in scoring. Carlos Rodon will toe the slab for the Sox, and he's owned the Indians in his career. Cleveland's lineup is batting just .234 over 145 at bats versus the southpaw. Cleveland will hand the ball to Corey Kluber, who pitched well in a loss in his season debut. As well as he has pitched against the White Sox, he hasn't fooled Jose Abreu. Abreu is batting .320 with 5 home runs and 12 RBIs over 50 at bats against Kluber. Take CWS. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-02-19 | Giants +1.5 v. Dodgers | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 24 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the San Francisco Giants +1.5. The rivalry continues Tuesday after the Giants stunned the Dodgers in the series opener winning 4-2. How can I pass on the Giants as a big underdog with Mad Bum on the mound. Bumgarner was solid in his season debut, allowing a pair of run on five hits, striking out nine in seven innings in a 2-0 loss to San Diego. The Dodgers hand the ball to Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has pitched well against the Giants, but it hasn't translated into win for LA. He's 1-2 with a 1.36 ERA in his last six starts versus San Francisco. The Giants are 4-1 in their last five at LA, and the one loss was by a score of 4-3. Take SF. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-02-19 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Padres | 8-5 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Arizona D'Backs. Arizona can get back to .500 with a win in Game 2 of this series at San Diego, and I like the D'Backs as the underdog. Zack Greinke will toe the slab for the visitors, and he's looking to bounce back from a stinker on Opening Day. This figures to be a good spot to do just that, as he's 5-1 with a 3.02 ERA in his last 10 starts against the Padres. San Diego will hand the ball to Eric Lauer, who was flawless in his first start of the season. He faces a D'Backs lineup that comes in hitting .400 over a combined 30 at bats against him. San Diego has won four of the last 10 meetings versus Arizona, but only one of those wins came by more than one run. Take ARI. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-02-19 | Texas Southern v. Green Bay -5 | 86-87 | Loss | -108 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Wisconsin-GB. The Phoenix come into Tuesday night's home game against Texas Southern as winners of three straight, and they were up big at the half in each and every one of those games. They are an excellent home team (14-3 home record), and they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine home games. Texas Southern relies on a high scoring offense to win games, as they have allowed over 86 points per game in their last five overall. That style tends to play better at home, and while the Tigers have had some success on the road, for the most part it was versus inferior opponents. I expect the Phoenix to open up a big lead early, winning big at home. Take GB. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-02-19 | Phillies +1.5 v. Nationals | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Phillies +1.5. The Nationals will be a big favorite with Max Scherzer on the mound, but there is no doubt that Philly looks like the better team so far this season. Scherzer was sharp enough on Opening Day, but it wasn't enough in a 2-0 loss to the Mets. The Phillies hand the ball to Zack Eflin, who looked sharp in Spring Training. He was 1-2 with a 3.54 ERA, striking out 18 batters in 20 innings of work. The Phillies are 5-1 in their last six games following an off day. Take PHI. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-02-19 | Rockies +1.5 v. Rays | 0-4 | Loss | -165 | 21 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Colorado +1.5. The Rockies have lost four straight after winning their first two games of the season, and they will be a big underdog in Tampa. I like the Rockies chances of giving the Rays a run for their money. Blake Snell will toe the rubber for the Rays, and he was roughed up on Opening Day. The left hander allowed five runs on six hits (3 home runs) in six innings in a loss to Houston. The Rockies hand the ball to Kyle Freeland, who was sharp in his season debut. He allowed just two hits while striking out five in seven innings in a win over Miami. The Rockies are 7-1 in Freeland's last eight interleague starts. Take COL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-01-19 | White Sox +1.5 v. Indians | 3-5 | Loss | -140 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Chisox +1.5. The Indians have scored just five runs in three games, losing two of three in a three game series in Minnesota. They return home as big favorites over the White Sox. Mike Clevinger will toe the slab for the Tribe, and he's coming off a career year. The right-hander has excellent numbers against Chicago, but he might need to worrry about where the run support is going to come from. The Sox hand the ball to Ivan Nova, and the veteran will be happy he doesn't have to face Cleveland at full strength. Jason Kipnis is 4-for-6 lifetime against Nova, but he and Francisco Lindor are both on the DL. Jose Ramirez is 1-for-11 to start the season. Take CWS. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-01-19 | Cardinals +1.5 v. Pirates | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 1 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the STL Cardinals +1.5. The Pirates will be the favorite at home in Game 1 versus the Cardinals, and they are coming off a 1-1 series split in Cincinnati. Chris Archer will toe the slab for the Pirates, and he's coming off his worst season in the majors. Archer was 6-8 with a 4.31 ERA in just 27 starts last season. The Cardinals hand the ball to veteran Adam Wainwright, who is coming off a stellar Spring. He's 13-7 with a 4.36 ERA lifetime versus Pittsburgh. Paul Goldschmidt is batting .375 with four home runs in his first four games with the Cardinals, and he's 2-for-3 lifetime versus Archer. Take STL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-31-19 | Red Sox v. Mariners +1.5 | 8-10 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Seattle Mariners +1.5. The Mariners have taken 2-of-3 in this home series versus Boston, and the last two games were each decided by one run. Wade LeBlanc will toe the slab for Seattle in the series finale, and the southpaw was good at home last season. He was 7-3 with a 3.95 ERA in 14 home starts, and he was 1-0 with a 4.38 ERA in two starts against the Red Sox. Boston will hand the ball to Rick Porcello, who is coming off a solid season in 2018. The 30 year old is 1-2 with a 3.76 ERA in his last four starts versus Seattle. Tim Beckham hit a pair of home runs in Game 1 of this series, and he's batting .364 lifetime versus Porcello. Take SEA. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-31-19 | Indians v. Twins +1.5 | 3-9 | Win | 100 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Minnesota +1.5. The Twins have split the first two games of this home series versus Cleveland, but I like the home team in the rubber match Sunday. Carlos Carrasco will toe the slab for Cleveland, and he's no stranger to pitching against the Twins. He faced them six times last year, going 2-3 with a 3.51 ERA. He was 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA at Target Field. The Twins hand the ball to Michael Pineda, who makes his debut in Minnesota. The 30 year old received praise from manager Rocco Balldeli after a solid Spring: "Honestly, I think he looks good," Baldelli told reporters. "And I think he's going to be more than ready when we break." Given that the Indians scored a total of two runs in the first two games, I think it's asking a lot for them to win by more than one run in the finale. Take MIN. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-31-19 | Tigers +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Detroit Tigers +1.5. Despite the fact that the Jays starting pitchers have yet to allow a run, they come into the series finale against Detroit as winners of just two of the first three games. Trent Thornton will toe the slab for Toronto this afternoon, and the 25 year old rookie will try to keep the shutout streak intact. He was 9-8 with a 4.42 ERA in 24 games in Triple-A last season. The Tigers hand the ball to Matt Moore, who at the age of 29 will make his debut for Detroit. The left-hander hopes to put a terrible season in Texas behind him, and he does have a history of pitching well against Toronto. Moore is 5-3 with a 3.81 ERA in 12 career appearances against Toronto. Take DET. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-30-19 | Orioles v. Yankees -1.5 | 5-3 | Loss | -175 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
The is an 8* play on the NYY. The Bronx Bombers cruised to an easy 7-2 win over the Orioles on Opening Day, and I expect another one sided win for the home team in Game 2. The Big Maple will toe the slab for the Bronx Bombers, and he was dealing this Spring. Paxton was 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA in five appearances in the Cactus League. He's 2-0 with a 3.55 ERA in two starts against the Orioles over the last three seasons. Baltimore will hand the ball to veteran Nathan Karns, who will play the role of "opener" rather than starter. The Orioles bullpen could be in for a rough ride today. Take NYY. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-29-19 | LSU +6 v. Michigan State | 63-80 | Loss | -107 | 76 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the LSU Tigers. LSU comes into this Sweet Sixteen matchup versus Michigan State as an underdog. The SEC champs have been giant killers this season, beating Kentucky, Tennessee and Auburn. They jumped all over Yale in their first game at the tournament, leading 45-29 at the half. They faced a BIG10 team in their next game, and they had a 38-29 lead over Maryland at halftime in their last game at the tourney. The Spartans are 1-4 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games, and they appear to be on upset alert here against LSU. Take LSU. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-28-19 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Blue Jackets | 2-6 | Loss | -188 | 24 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Montreal Canadiens +1.5. I bet on Montreal in their last game, and here is what I said prior to the opening faceoff: "The Habs are barely holding on in the Wild Card race, and the Columbus Blue Jackets are hot on their heels. They can't afford to leave any points on the table here in a home game against Florida." They went on to open up a 5-0 lead in the second period, and won by a score of 6-1. Tonight's game will be the biggest game of the year for both teams, as the winner is almost surely in the playoffs while the loser will likely be eliminated. These teams have a history of playing close, low scoring games. Six of the last seven head to head meetings have gone under the total, and four of those games were decided by just one goal. The Habs have wone five of their last eight, and have only lost once by more than one goal during that span. Six of those games failed to reach the total. Take MTL. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-28-19 | Giants v. Padres +1.5 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 25 m | Show | |
 This is an 8* play on the San Diego Padres +1.5.  The Padres have been the bottom feeders of the National League for over a decade, but things might be different in 2019. After finishing the Spring with the second best record in the Cactus League, there is some excitement surrounding this team.  Eric Lauer will toe the slab for San Diego on Opening Day, and he was lights out this Spring. He allowed just two hits while striking out a dozen batters in 10 innings of work. He was solid in the second half last season, posting an ERA of 3.15 after the All Star break.  The Giants hand the ball to Madison Bumgarner, who is coming off a nightmare of a 2018 season. If his performance this Spring is any indication, he could be a long way from where he would like to be. Mad Bum was torched for 19 runs on 35 hits over 20 innings of work, posting an ERA of 8.27 this Spring.  The Giants are 5-16 in their last 21 road games.  Take SD.  GL, Â

03-28-19 | Orioles v. Yankees -1.5 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the NYY -1.5. Â The Yankees look like they mean business, finishing first in the Grapefruit league with a record of 17-10. The Orioles on the other hand tied with Boston for the worst record this Spring. Â Masahiro Tanaka will toe the slab for the Yankees on Opening Day, and he's coming off an encouraging Spring. He was 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA, striking out a whopping 23 batters in 17 innings of work. Â The Orioles hand the ball to Andrew Cashner, who struggled in the Grapefruit League. He gave up 10 runs on 17 hits over 15 innings, posting an ERA of 5,.87. The 32 year old was 2-8 with a 5.30 ERA in 14 starts on the road last year. Â The Orioles come into Opening Day off seven consecutive losses in the Grapefruit League. Â Take NYY. Â GL, Â

03-24-19 | Ohio State v. Houston -5.5 | 59-74 | Win | 100 | 17 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Houston Cougars. I bet against the Buckeyes in their first round matchup versus Iowa State, and here is what I said before that game: "They will play a Buckeyes team that lost four of their last five games. Ohio State has a history of struggling against teams from the BIG12, failing to cover in seven straight against BIG12 teams. They have only covered the spread in one of their last eight NCAA Tournament games. The Cyclones are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine non-conference games. An OSU team that averaged less than 64 points per game in it's last five, and lost seven of it's last 10 overall, isn't likely to advance past the first round." OSU got the upset, but they are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win. The Cougars are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games, and 7-2 ATS in their last nine non conference games. Take HOU. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-24-19 | Iowa v. Tennessee -7.5 | 77-83 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols got off to a good start in their first round win over Colgate, leading by a dozen at halftime. Tennessee came into the NCAA Tournament as winners of five of seven. Two of those five wins came against #4 ranked Kentucky. Iowa trailed by five points at halftime in their first round game against Cincinnati, but rallied to win by a score of 79-77. The Hawkeyes are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall, and they have failed to cover in five of their last six against teams with a winning record. They are 2-7 ATS in their last nine NCAA Tournament games, and they have failed to cover in five straight when coming off a win. Take TENN. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-23-19 | Baylor +14 v. Gonzaga | 71-83 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Baylor Bears. Baylor will be a double digit underdog in their second round matchup versus Gonzaga, despite the fact that 11 of their 13 losses this season have come by fewer than 10 points. Gonzaga has won three straight head to head meetings versus Baylor since 2006, but they failed to cover in two of those games. All three of those contests were decided by fewer than 10 points. The Bulldogs have a history of coming into the tournament as an overvalued favorite, and that is evidenced by the fact that they are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games. Baylor is 6-0 ATS in their last six versus the WCC. Take BAY. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-23-19 | Wild +1.5 v. Hurricanes | 1-5 | Loss | -176 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Minnesota +1.5. I bet the under in Minnesota's game last night, and here is what I said prior to the game: "The Washington Capitals are in a battle with the Islanders for first place in the Metropolitan Division, while the Minnesota Wild are gunning for one of the Wild Card spots in the Western Conference. In a high stakes battle in the nation's capital, we expect scoring chances to be at a premium tonight. The under is 5-1-1 in the Wild's last seven games as a road underdog. The under is 5-2-1 in the Wild's last eight road games." The Wild earned a hard fought two points winning by a score of 2-1, and taking over the final Wild Card spot in the West. I don't expect them to give it up just 24 hours later, and I like Minnesota to earn at least a point tonight. Take MINNY. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-22-19 | Ohio State v. Iowa State -5 | 62-59 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Iowa State Cyclones. The Cyclones are playing their best basketball at the right time, coming into the tournament off a double digit win over Kansas in the BIG12 Tournament Final. They will play a Buckeyes team that lost four of their last five games. Ohio State has a history of struggling against teams from the BIG12, failing to cover in seven straight against BIG12 teams. They have only covered the spread in one of their last eight NCAA Tournament games. The Cyclones are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine non-conference games. An OSU team that averaged less than 64 points per game in it's last five, and lost seven of it's last 10 overall, isn't likely to advance past the first round. Take ISU. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-21-19 | Yale v. LSU -6.5 | 74-79 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the LSU Tigers. I'm not too high on Yale coming out of the Ivy League. They did win the league and they won the conference tournament, but they cruised through a pretty soft schedule. They only faced one ranked team during the season, and they lost by 33 points to Duke. LSU was able to navigate a difficult schedule in the SEC, and weather the storm of a scandal involving former coach Will Wade. They managed to hold on and finish at the top of one of the toughest conference in the country. While they did lose a coach, there is no doubt that they come into this game with superior talent on the floor. LSU lost a close game to Florida in the SEC tourney, but the Tigers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Take LSU. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-10-19 | SMU v. South Florida -2 | 77-71 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on USF. The South Florida Bulls will play their final home game against a struggling SMU Mustangs team. History favors the Mustangs, who have been one of the top teams in the conference over the years. That hasn't been the case this year though, and I think the bookmakers have given SMU too much love here. The Mustangs come in as losers of nine of their last 10 overall, including a home loss to South Florida. They are 2-7 on the road, and they have lost five straight away games. They have averaged just 61.6 points in their last five games, and South Florida plays strong defense at home. The Mustangs have failed to cover in four of their last five at USF, and six of the last eight meetings between the two teams have gone under the total. Take USF. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-09-19 | Duke v. North Carolina -3.5 | Top | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 16 h 36 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on UNC. It was just a few weeks ago that North Carolina went into Cameron Indoor Stadium and laid a whupping on Duke. Now the Blue Devils look to return the favor, and some might think this looks like a natural revenge spot. I might like Duke's chances of an upset here, if they had Zion Williamson back, or if Trey Jones wasn't hurt, or if they didn't just come oh so close to losing to one of the worst teams in the conference a few days ago. Duke is a mess, and expecting them to pull it all together to beat the Tar Heels at Chapel Hill just doesn't seem at all realistic. North Carolina lead by double digits at the half in the last meeting. Take UNC. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-08-19 | Devils v. Capitals -1.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Washington Capitals. The Caps are currently tied with the Islanders for top spot in the Metropolitan Division, and they desperately need to take two points from tonight's home game against the Devils. New Jersey has lost four straight, and in three of those games they were held to one goal or less. Starting netminder Corey Schneider is just 4-9-3 with a 3.21 GAA this season, and he's 0-3 with a 4.69 GAA in his last three starts versus Washington. The Caps are 4-2 in the last six head to head meetings, and all four of those wins came by more than one goal. Take WAS. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-05-19 | Kentucky -5 v. Ole Miss | 80-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Kentucky Wildcats. This is a big game for Kentucky, coming off a 19-point loss at Tennessee over the weekend. They are still in the mix at the top of the SEC, but a loss tonight at Mississippi and they can kiss their title hopes good bye. If history is any indication, they should be in good shape. They are 9-0 straight up in the last nine meetings, and they covered the spread in six of those games. They have been great on the road this season, winning seven of nine games. The Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take UK. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-04-19 | Knicks v. Kings -11.5 | 108-115 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 6 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Sacramento Kings. The New York Knicks are tanking, and that couldn't have been any more obvious than when they allowed the Clippers to score 82 points in the first half of a 128-107 loss Sunday. The Knicks have lost 21 of their last 24 games, many of those losses coming by double digits. The Kings are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 home games. They are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games versus teams with a losing road record. The Knicks are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall, while the Kings are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. This game has blowout written all over it. Take SAC. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-03-19 | Blazers v. Hornets +3 | 118-108 | Loss | -113 | 15 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Charlotte Hornets. The Blazers won their first four games of this Eastern Conference road trip, before falling 119-117 at Toronto. They could suffer a bit of a let down here on Sunday in Charlotte. The Hornets are a solid home team, with a record of 20-12 in Charlotte. They are in a heated battle for first place in the Southeast, with just one game separating them from Orlando and Miami. Home court should be key here, as the home team has covered in seven of the last eight head to head meetings. Take CHA. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-02-19 | Boise State v. UNLV -2 | Top | 81-85 | Win | 100 | 23 h 10 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on UNLV. The Boise State Broncos have been a powerhouse in the Mountain West for years, but they have really fallen off this year. They come into UNLV with a losing record in the conference, and a road record of 3-8. They already lost by a score of 83-72 at home versus the Rebels earlier this year, and I don't like their chances of avenging that loss here in Las Vegas. The Broncos have lost six of their last seven games, and the lone win during that span came against the bottom feeders San Jose State. The Rebels lost their last home game by a single point against one of the top teams in the conference (San Diego State), and prior to that they beat Air Force by a score of 77-72. Take UNLV. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-02-19 | Kentucky v. Tennessee -2.5 | 52-71 | Win | 100 | 15 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tennessee. The Vols lost big at Kentucky last month, but they have a chance to execute revenge here at home today. Reid Travis scored 11 points and pulled in eight rebounds in 33 minutes in that game, and the senior forward has been a key player for Kentucky this season. Travis will not play today as he nurses a knee injury. Tennessee is 16-0 at home this season, scoring an average of 82.2 points on 50.9 percent shooting in those games. The Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings in Tennessee, and the under is 13-5-2 in the last 20 meetings. Take TENN. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-02-19 | Ohio State v. Purdue -12 | 51-86 | Win | 100 | 3 h 36 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Purdue Boilermakers. Ohio State is coming off a huge home win over Iowa, but they could be in big trouble here at Purdue Saturday. Not only have they lost their last two road games by a combined 28 points, they lose their center and leading scorer Kaleb Wessen to suspension. The 6"9 sophomore has been suspended for unspecified violations of school policy. He had 18 points and 11 rebounds in the win over Iowa. Purdue is 14-0 at home, and has scored almost 80 points per game in those contests. Their last three home wins came by at least a dozen points. The Boilermakers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 home games, while Ohio State is 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. Take PUR. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-26-19 | San Diego State +9 v. Utah State | 54-70 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the San Diego State Aztecs. San Diego State got off to a slow start, but the Aztecs come into tonight's game at Utah State as winners of five straight and eight of nine. During that span they beat 1st place Nevada and 2nd place Utah State at home. Now the bookamkers are asking Utah State to win by double digits at home? The Aggies have lost 10 straight to the Aztecs dating back to 2014. San Diego State is 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings, and they have covered in eight of their last 10 road games versus teams with a winning record. I'll take the points. Take SDSU. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-24-19 | Michigan State v. Michigan -4 | 77-70 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan is 16-0 at home this year, and the Wolverines have won three straight meetings versus Michigan State. The Spartans last game at Ann Arbor was an 86-57 loss in 2017. The Wolverines are really shutting down opposing teams on their home court, allowing just 55.6 points per game at home. The Spartans are banged up, with two of their top three scorers sidelined by injury. The Wolverines are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games, and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games versus teams with a winning road record. I think the Wolverines coud be a far bigger favorite here in this game. Take MICH. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-23-19 | Oregon v. UCLA -2.5 | Top | 83-90 | Win | 100 | 28 h 7 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on UCLA. The Ducks are coming off another double digit loss at USC, and I bet against them in that game. Here is what I said prior to tip off: "It's been a lost season for the Ducks, who were expecting to challenge for another PAC12 Title. They lost their leading scorer Bol Bol after just nine games, and Louis King and Kenny Wooten have been banged up. The Ducks lost 72-57 at Oregon State in their last game, and they shot just 53.3 percent from the free throw line in that game. They have averaged just 59.9 points per game on the road, losing five of eight games. The Ducks are 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 road games." The Bruins have won three of the last four head to head meetings, including an overtime win at Oregon earlier this season. UCLA averages a staggering 81.6 points on 48.1 percent shooting at home. I can't see Oregon finding enough offense to hang with the Bruins. Take UCLA. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-20-19 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Red Wings | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 22 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 5* play on the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks might be the hottest team in the league, coming into tonight's road game against Detroit as winners of nine of their last 11 overall. I have bet on Chicago in several of those games, and here is what I said prior to their win over Detroit: "The Hawks come into Sunday's home game against Detroit as winners of six straight. The Red Wings on the other hand have lost back to back games, and sit just two points out of last in the Atlantic Division. The Red Wings are 18-39 in their last 57 road games, and 7-17 in their last 24 overall. Patrick Kane is just two points back of Nikita Kucherov who leads the NHL in scoring, and his partner in crime Jonathan Toews scored a highlight reel game winning goal in overtime versus Vancouver on Thursday. The Hawks are putting the rest of the league on notice ..." Chicago has won five of their last seven versus Detroit. Take CHI. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-20-19 | Villanova -5.5 v. Georgetown | 73-85 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Villanova Wildcats. After blowing out St. John's in the first half (37-26), Villanova let the game slip away in the second half, losing 71-65 at MSG on Sunday. They will play at Georgetown tonight, and this looks like a good spot to bounce back with a convincing victory. The Wildcats have won nine straight meetings in this series dating back to 2015. They are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings, including a pair of double digit wins at Georgetown. The are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 road games, while the Hoyas are 15-39-1 ATS in their last 55 home games. Georgetown is just 5-11-1 ATS in it's last 17 versus the BIG EAST. Take VILL.

02-19-19 | Dayton v. Davidson -3 | 74-73 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Davidson Wildcats. The Wildcats are tied with VCU for first place in the Atlantic-10, and they host fourth place Dayton tonight. The Flyers are coming off a home loss to VCU, and they are 4-3 on the road this season. Davidson is undefeated (12-0) at home, and has covered the spread in seven of their last 10 at home. The Flyers are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 road games, and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games versus teams with a winning straight up record. The Flyers have failed to cover in four of the last five head to head meetings. Take DAV. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-17-19 | Villanova -3.5 v. St. John's | 65-71 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Villanova Wildcats. Villanova is still the cream of the crop in the Big East. They come into Sunday's game versus St. Johns as winners of nine of their last 10 overall. The one loss came by a single point on the road at Marquette. St. John's on the other hand has lost two of it's last three home games, beating Butler in overtime but losing to Providence and Georgetown. Today's game will be played at MSG in New York, and the Wildcats are 39-17 ATS in their last 56 neutral site games, while the Red Storm are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. St. John's has just one win in their last 10 versus Villanova, I see no reason to expect them to avoid losing 10 of their last 11 in this series. Take VILL. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-17-19 | Wichita State +12 v. Cincinnati | 62-72 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Wichita State. The Shockers lost at home by double digits versus Cincinnati earlier this season, so it seems reasonable asking the Bearcats to cover a 12 point spread at home here on Sunday. The Shockers though come in as winners of four straight, while Cincinnati is coming off a loss at Houston. Only once in their last five games have the Bearcats won by double digits, and that was a home game against Tulsa. Wichita State is actually averaging more points than Cincinnati over each team's last five games, and allowing less than three points more than the Bearcats during that span. I'll take the points here. Take WICH. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-15-19 | Bruins v. Ducks +1.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -185 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Anaheim Ducks +1.5. The Ducks snapped a seven game losing streak with a 1-0 win over Vancouver on Wednesday, and they will be a home dog against Boston Friday. The Bruins have won three straight, but they lost their leading scorer David Pastrnak for two weeks with a thumb injury. The Ducks have owned Boston lately, winning nine of the last 10 meetings. The Ducks have a new coach and a rookie goaltender coming off a shutout in his NHL debut. I expect this team to be fired up for a home game against a Boston team that might be complacent. The Bruins are 0-5 in their last five games as a road favorite of -110 to -150. Take ANA. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-15-19 | Monmouth +8 v. Rider | 72-81 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 49 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Monmouth Hawks. The Hawks come into tonight's game at Rider as winners of four straight, and they are 8-2 in their last 10 overall. Monmouth has won seven of it's last 10 against Rider, including a 75-71 win earlier this season. All three of Rider's wins against Monmouth came by a fewer than eight points. Home court might help, but the Broncs have failed to cover in each of their last seven home games. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. I'll take the points. Take MONM. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-14-19 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Predators | 1-3 | Loss | -180 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Montreal Canadiens +1.5. The Habs have won eight of their last 11 overall, and two of the three losses during that span came by just one goal. They play on the road at Nashville tonight, and they could be catching the Preds at a good time. Nashville is 2-4-1 in it's last seven home games, and Pekka Rinne is 7-11-2 with a .895 save percentage and 3.16 goals against average in his last 21 starts. These two teams have a history of playing close games, with five of the last six head to head meetings decided by one goal. After a slow start, Carey Price is once again looking like an elite goaltender, and the Habs are going to be tough to beat as long as he's playing well. Take MTL. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-13-19 | Clemson v. Miami-FL +2 | 64-65 | Win | 100 | 16 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on the Miami Hurricanes. Miami is coming off an 88-85 overtime loss at North Carolina, easily covering a 16 point spread. Prior to that they beat Notre Dame by double digits at home. They will be an underdog tonight at home versus Clemson, and the Tigers have lost four of their last five road games. Their one road win during that span came at Georgia Tech. Miami looks good getting points here when you consider the home team has won six straight in this series, and the home team has covered the spread in five straight. Clemson looks great coming in as winners of four straight, but that run came largely against bottom feeders of the ACC. Prior to a win at Georgia Tech, they had lost four straight on the road at NC State, FSU, Syracuse and Duke. Take MIAMI. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-12-19 | Air Force v. UNLV -8.5 | 72-77 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UNLV. The Rebels have lost four of their last five overall, and they are 0-8 ATS in their last eight versus conference rivals Air Force. So the obvious play is Air Force plus the points ... right? As my man Lee Corso would say: "Not So Fast My Friend". Look at who the Rebels have played, and you can see they have faced Nevada, Utah State, Boise State, Fresno State and San Diego State. It's no suprise that they would struggle against the upper echelon of the Mountain West. Air Force is still one of the weaker teams in the conference, and the Falcons have just one win in eight road games this season. The Falcons have averaged less than 60 points per game on the road, and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four overall. While Air Force has had success covering the spread in previous meetings, I believe this line has come down enough to back the home favorite. Take UNLV. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-12-19 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Bruins | 3-6 | Loss | -147 | 17 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Chicago Blackhawks. I bet on Chicago in their last game, a 5-2 win over Detroit on Sunday. Here is what I said before the opening faceoff: "The Hawks come into Sunday's home game against Detroit as winners of six straight. The Red Wings on the other hand have lost back to back games, and sit just two points out of last in the Atlantic Division. The Red Wings are 18-39 in their last 57 road games, and 7-17 in their last 24 overall. Patrick Kane is just two points back of Nikita Kucherov who leads the NHL in scoring, and his partner in crime Jonathan Toews scored a highlight reel game winning goal in overtime versus Vancouver on Thursday. The Hawks are putting the rest of the league on notice ..." They come into Boston as big underdogs tonight, but nine of the Bruins last 11 games have been decided by just one goal. Take CHI. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-10-19 | Cincinnati v. Houston -4.5 | 58-65 | Win | 100 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Houston Cougars. The Cincinnati Bearcats come into Houston as winners of eight straight, but I think they might be biting off more than they can chew against the 1st place Cougars. Houston is 16-0 at home, and the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Houston has been the better team all season long, and superior talent should be the difference here on their home court. Free throw shooting could be key, as the Cougars have hit better than 75 percent of their free throws over their last five games, while Cincinnati has hit just over 62 percent during that span. The Cougars are the better team offensively, and their defense at home has been impressive allowing just 59.9 points per game. Take HOU. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-09-19 | Texas v. West Virginia +4 | 75-53 | Loss | -109 | 20 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WVU. It's been tough sledding in the BIG12 for West Virginia, but they come into tonight's home game against Texas as winners of two of their last three home games. One of those wins came against BIG12 powerhouse Kansas. Home court has been a big deal in previous meetings between these teams, as the home team has won five straight. The home team is 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings, and the underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. West Virginia has scored 79.5 points per game at home, and they look good getting a handful of points against a Texas team that doesn't score a lot on the road. Take WVU. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-09-19 | Sharks v. Oilers +1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -189 | 20 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Edmonton +1.5. The Oilers had lost six straight before beating the Wild in Minnesota by a score of 4-1 on Thursday. Three of those six losses came by just one goal. They host San Jose tonight, and the Sharks are coming off a 5-2 win at Calgary. San Jose has won four straight, and three of those wins came in games decided by one goal. History tells us that these teams have a history of playing high scoring games. The over is 5-0 in Oilers last five games a home underdog. This could be a let down spot for the Sharks, as coming into Alberta and sweeping the Flames and Oilers is not an easy task. Take EDM. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-09-19 | Duke +2.5 v. Virginia | Top | 81-71 | Win | 100 | 18 h 2 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Duke Blue Devils. A lot of people will be backing Virginia here at home, especially given that they lost by just two points at Duke a few weeks ago. The thing is, you have to remember that the Cavs were catching Duke in a particularly vulnerable spot, without their starting PG. Tre Jones is back playing at full strength, and Duke is coming off four straight double digit wins. The last meeting between these two teams wasn't as close as the final score would indicate, as the Cavs made it close with a few late buckets. Duke has won four of the last five head to head meetings, two of those wins coming at Virginia. The road team is 20-5-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings, and the underdog is 20-8-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings. I'll take the points. Take DUKE. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-09-19 | Red Wings +1.5 v. Sabres | 1-3 | Loss | -180 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Detroit Red Wings +1.5. Detroit is 5-3 in it's last eight games, and two of those three losses came by just one goal. They sit 10 points back of Buffalo in the standings, but the Sabres have not played well of late. They have lost seven of their last 10, and all three wins during that span have come by a single goal. These two teams have a history of playing close games, with eight of the last 10 head to head meetings being decided by just one goal. The Sabres are 1-9 in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest, and 1-5 in their last 6 Saturday games. I'll take the underdog in a game that looks like it could go either way. Take DET.

02-08-19 | Wolves v. Pelicans -6 | 117-122 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the New Orleans Pelicans. The trade deadline has come and gone, and The Brow is still in the Big Easy. Here is a statement from the Pelicans: "Anthony made it clear to us that he wants to play and he gives our team the best opportunity to win games," New Orleans general manager Dell Demps said in a statement. "Moreover, the Pelicans want to preserve the integrity of the game and align our organization with NBA policies. We believe Anthony playing upholds the values that are in the best interest of the NBA and its fans." New Orleans will host the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight, and the T-Pups are playing their second game of a back to back. The Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss, and they are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings in New Orleans. Take N.O. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-03-19 | Patriots -1 v. Rams | Top | 13-3 | Win | 100 | 329 h 35 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on New England. Why do you think the Rams beat the Saints? Are you one of those conspiracy theorists that believes the only reason the Rams are playing in the Super Bowl is because a referee missed a call at the end of the NFC Championship Game? If that's what you believe, then I think you are missing something. You have to give credit where credit is due, and I think it's fair to say that Jared Goff outplayed Drew Brees. I also think it's pretty clear that Sean McVay outcoached Sean Payton. I don't think the Rams can count on winning the quarterback battle or the coaching battle here against Brady and Belichick. My money is on experience over youth, and I expect Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to turn back the clock. Props include: Take NE. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-03-19 | Thunder +3 v. Celtics | 129-134 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder come rolling into Boston as winners of seven straight, and they will look to take advantage of a Celtics team that could be distracted by the drama surrounding Kyrie Irving. The infamous "Flat Earther" is rumored to be interested in leaving Boston, and either joining LeBron in LA or KD in New York. The Thunder have covered the spread in four straight road games, and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five versus Eastern Conference teams. Oklahoma City has covered in four of their last five at Boston, and the road team is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. I'll take the points and ride those trends today. Take OKC. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-02-19 | Lakers v. Warriors -10.5 | Top | 101-115 | Win | 100 | 17 h 1 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers got LeBron James back from injury on Thursday, and they managed to beat the Clippers in overtime. There are still plenty of rumors swirling around the team, and it remains to be seen if players like Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram will be part of the future in LA. Anthony Davis has issued a public demand to be traded, and he's looking to become a Laker. Lonzo Ball says if he get's traded to New Orleans he won't play for the Pelicans. It sounds like a hot mess to me. The Warriors won 11 straight before losing at home to the Clippers on Thursday. Perhaps they were looking ahead to this game against LeBron and the Lakers. Golden State has covered in four of it's last five when coming off a loss, and they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games versus the Lakers. I think they'll jump all over LA in the first half, and cover easily. Take GS. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-02-19 | TCU v. Baylor -3.5 | 64-90 | Win | 100 | 16 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Baylor Bears. I had Baylor as an underdog in their last game, and they won outright by a whopping 30 points at Oklahoma. Here is what I said before the game: "The Bears come into Oklahoma as winners of four straight, and two of those wins came on the road at Oklahoma State and West Virginia. They are a significant underdog here against the Sooners, despite the fact that they have won three of the last four meetings outright, and covered the spread in four of the last five meetings. Oklahoma has won just three of it's last six games overall, and they have failed to cover in four of their last five home meetings versus Baylor. The Sooners beat Baylor 98-96 at home last year, and prior to that they were just 2-2 straight up in their previous four home games against the Bears." They are hosting a TCU team tonight that has lost four of five road games so far. The Horned Frogs have failed to cover in seven of their last nine versus Baylor, and the Bears are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 versus teams with a losing road record. Take BAY. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-31-19 | Lakers v. Clippers -5 | Top | 123-120 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the LA Clippers. The Lakers are a mess at the moment, coming into tonight's game against the Clippers as losers of four of their last five. LeBron James is still recovering from a groin injury, and isn't expected to return tonight. Lonzo Ball is also sidelined by and injury, leaving LA extremely shorthanded. Anthony Davis has been fined by the league for publicly demanding a trade to the Lakers. Lonzo Ball has already gone on record saying he won't play for the Pelicans if he's included in such a trade. The Clippers had won three straight before suffering a home loss to Atlanta. That was the second game of a back to back and a third game in four nights. They should be ready to bounce back here against the struggling Lakers. The Clippers have won six of the last seven meetings, and they've covered the spread in six of the last eight meetings. The Lakers are 5-14 ATS in the last 19 meetings at Staples Center. Take LAC. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-27-19 | Michigan State v. Purdue +1.5 | 63-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on Purdue. The Michigan State Spartans bring a 9-0 record into Sunday's game at Purdue, where the Boilermakers own a 9-0 home record. Something has to give here, and I like the home dog to avenge a 77-59 loss at East Lansing earlier this season. The home team is 6-1 straight up over the last seven head to head meetings, and the Boilermakers are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Carsen Edwards really struggled in the loss at Michigan State, scoring 11 points on 3-of-16 shooting. He followed up that poor performance by score 36 points on 10-of-26 shooting in a win over Wisconsin. He's scored 20 ore more points in three of Purdue's last four games, and the Boilermakers have won four straight since the loss to the Spartans. I'll take the points with the home team here. Take PUR. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-26-19 | VCU v. Duquesne +3.5 | Top | 80-74 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 43 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Duquesne Dukes. The VCU Rams have won six straight meetings versus the Dukes dating back to 2013, but they come into today's game trailing Duquesne in the A-10 standings. The Dukes are 5-1 on conference play, and their last win came at home against first place Saint Louis. The home team has covered in four straight meetings between these teams, and I like Duquesne to get off to a good start as a home dog here today. The Dukes have averaged 78.6 points on 45.5 percent shooting in their last five games, more than 11 points more than the Rams have averaged during that span. Of course the Rams are better defensively, but they were able to overcome stifling defense in their last game against the Bilikens. I'll take the points here. Take DUQ. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-25-19 | Raptors -1 v. Rockets | Top | 119-121 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 37 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on the Toronto Raptors. The Rockets haven't won back to back games since the beginning of January, and coming off a close win over the Knicks, I expect them to have trouble at home tonight versus the Toronto Raptors. They are just 5-5 over their last 10 games, and four of those five wins came against teams with a losing record. Only Golden State has a better road record than the Raptors, who have won their last two games at Houston. Kawhi Leonard sat out the last two games for what the Raptors claim was simply rest. He's expected to return to action here in Houston. The Rockets are still extremely thin with Cint Capela and Chris Paul both sidelined by injuries. James Harden has averaged over 52 points per game in his last five starts, and he's going to need to score at least 50 to give the Rockets at chance tonight. It's only a matter of time before he runs out of gas, and the Raptors aren't going to make life easy for him. Take TOR. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-24-19 | William & Mary v. NC-Wilmington | 88-93 | Win | 100 | 20 h 34 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UNC Wilmington. There was a time when these were two of the top teams in the CAA, but William and Mary and UNC Wilmington are both struggling so far this season. The Tribe are coming off three straight home losses, including a 76-71 loss to bottom feeders Elon in their last game. The Seahawks are coming off back to back road losses, but they won their last home game by a score of 97-83 over Drexel. The Seahawks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games, and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. There is no doubt that UNC Wilmington has the better shooters, and given home court advantage I think they should be the favorite to get a "W" tonight. Take UNCW. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-19-19 | Ducks +1.5 v. Devils | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks snapped a 12 game losing streak with a 3-0 win at Minnesota on Thursday. They are still right in the hunt for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, and I like their chances of stringing a few wins together and making a bit of a run. Even during their losing streak they picked up points in four overtime losses, and five of their 12 losses came in one goal games. The Devils have lost six of their last nine overall, and only once during that span did they win a game by more than a goal. The Ducks have won eight of their last 10 versus the Devils, and six of those 10 games were decided by just one goal. The Devils are 0-6 in their last 6 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation, and 5-11 in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest. Take ANA. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-18-19 | Ohio v. Toledo -8.5 | 52-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Toledo Rockets. The Ohio Bobcats have struggled since the start of conference play, losing three of four games. They are on the road at Toledo tonight, and they have been nothing short of brutal on the road. The Bobcats are just 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. They have really been hurt by poor free throw shooting, hitting just 52.3 percent from the line in their last five overall. The Rockets are hitting 71.9 percent over their last five games, and they are hitting over 80 percent from the line at home this season. The Bobcats are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and they are just 3-11 ATS in their last 14 versus Toledo. I like the Rockets to win by double digits. Take TOL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-16-19 | Raptors +2 v. Celtics | 108-117 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Toronto Raptors, The Raptors and Celtics were supposed to be battling for top spot in the Eastern Conference this season, but Boston has been a major disappointment. The Celtics are seven games back of the first place Raptors in the standings. The home team has won nine straight meetings since the Raptors won 101-94 at The Garden in 2016. This is an opportunity for Toronto to make a statement, and the last time they faced such a challenge they beat the Bucks by a score of 123-116 in Milwaukee. They did that without Kyle Lowry, who is no back at full speed. The Celtics are banged up, with Kyrie Irving and Marcus Spart missing the last game. Toronto has been the better bet in this series, going 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take TOR. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-14-19 | Pistons v. Jazz -8 | 94-100 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Utah Jazz. The Pistons won 109-104 at LA on Saturday, and Blake Griffin scored 44 points against his former team. This sets up Detroit (and Griffin) for a let down here on the road at Utah. Detroit rarely wins on the road, with a record of 7-13. The Jazz have won five of six, and four straight at home. History certainly favors the home team, as Utah has won five straigh versus Detroit. The Jazz also covered the spread in all five of those victories. The Jazz are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Pistons are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest, and they have a long history of losing to Utah. Going back more than a decade, the Pistons are 8-21 ATS in the last 29 meetings. Take Utah. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-13-19 | Eagles +9.5 v. Saints | 14-20 | Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a play on the Eagles. The Eagles are the hot team coming into this divisional playoff game versus New Orleans. The Saints are Super Bowl favorites, but Drew Brees and company sputtered a bit down the stretch. After losing to the Cowboys in Dallas, they scored just three points in the first half in Tampa before rallying for a come from behind win. Their home win over the Steelers was helped by a pair of controversial pass inerference penalties on the game winning drive. Nick Foles has picked up right where he left off in last year's playoffs, and he will go up against a Saints defense that allowed the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. I like Philly to keep this game relatively close and Foles to have a big day. Take Philly, GL, Jesse Schule |

01-10-19 | Wofford v. NC-Greensboro +1.5 | 72-43 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 41 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UNCG. Remember when Wofford upset the Tar Heels last season? Bettors certainly remember, and they love backing a memorable underdog. I think Wofford is a little overrated here, coming into this game at UNCG as a road favorite. The Spartans are 14-2 overall and 7-0 at home. They have held opponents to under 60 points on less than 40 percent shooting in their home games so far. The home team has covered in seven of the last 10 head to head meetings. The Terriers might be fan favorites, but they have lost five straight meetings versus UNCG. I'll take the home dog. Take UNCG. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-08-19 | Oilers +1.5 v. Sharks | 2-7 | Loss | -155 | 19 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Oilers +1.5. Edmonton finally snapped out of a six game losing streak by winning on the road at Arizona in their first game of this road trip. They come into San Jose with two wins in three games on this West Coast swing, and they catch the Sharks in a good spot. San Jose played last night, beating the LA Kings by a score of 3-1. San Jose is just 3-3 in their last six home games, and the Oilers are .500 on the road this season. Edmonton has won three of it's last six visits to the Shark Tank. I'll take the Oilers on the puckline here. Take EDM. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-08-19 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -6 | 59-66 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Texas Tech. I bet against Oklahoma in their loss to Kansas, and here is what I had to say before tip off: "Oklahoma is 11-0 versus unranked teams, but in their one game versus a Top 25 team, they were crushed by a score of 78-58 in a loss to Wisconsin. Kansas isn't just a Top 25 team, the Jayhawks are ranked in the Top 5. They are still unbeaten at home, and they beat Oklahoma by 30 points at home last year. The Sooners have failed to cover in nine of their last 11 versus the BIG12, and they are likely coming into this game a little overrated after covering in nine of their last 10 versus non-conference opposition. While the Sooners have been impresssive, they haven't proven a lot based on a lack of quality wins." They ended up getting a back door cover in that game, after trailing by 15 at halftime. I don't like their chances against a Texas Tech team that has allowed just 48.1 points per game while winning all nine of their home games. I like Texas Tech to shut down Oklahoma's offense. Take TTU. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-08-19 | Texas -3 v. Oklahoma State | 58-61 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 8 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Texas Longhorns. Texas has won back to back games to start conference play, including a 20 point win on the road at Kansas State. They face an Oklahoma State team tonight that really struggles to do anything on offense, and I like Texas to remain undefeated in the BIG12. The Cowboys have lost both their games against BIG12 teams, and that includes a home loss to Iowa State. If there is one thing the Cowboys do well, it's strong play on defense. They have held opponents to 63.7 points per game in Stillwater. That might not be good enough against a Texas team that has allowed just 57 points per game in their last five overall. Take TEX. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-06-19 | Eagles v. Bears -5.5 | Top | 16-15 | Loss | -109 | 118 h 59 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on the Chicago Bears. Can you believe that the Eagles are back in the playoffs, and last year's Super Bowl MVP is once against playing like one of the league's best quarterbacks. Nick Foles is capable of being great (at times) but let's not get carried away when we compare him to other great quarterbacks. The Bears have wins over the Packers and the Seahawks, and Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers have been consistently great for their entire careers spanning the better part of the last decade. Nick Foles on the other hand has had a handful of great games in an otherwise mediocre career. He comes into Chicago nursing sore ribs, and he's in serious danger of taking a beating today. I like the Bears to win big at Soldier Field. Take CHI. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-06-19 | Chargers +2.5 v. Ravens | Top | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 114 h 24 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the LA Chargers. Lamar Jackson has turned things around for the Baltimore Ravens, who might not have made the playoffs without him. I am not convinced he is the quarterback of the future for this franchise though, as I have seen this script before. It seems like nobody remembers his teammate RGIII early in his career in Washington. As exciting as it is when he eludes defenders and picks up big gains with his athletic ability, he's nothing short of a disaster in the passing game. He matches up against a potential future Hall of Famer in Phillip Rivers, and heaven forbid if he needs to rally his team late (as Rivers has done countless times in the past). The Ravens defense is statistically the best in the NFL, but they almost didn't survive in a must win game against the Browns last week. Baker Mayfield lit them up for 376 yards and three scores. I expect Rivers to be just as good here in this Wild Card game. Take LAC. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Seahawks +2.5 v. Cowboys | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 98 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Seattle Seahawks 1st Half. The Cowboys come into the playoffs as winners of seven of their last eight overall, but I don't think that run is as impressive as it looks. The fact remains that Dak Prescott is no more than an average quarterback, and Jason Garrett is a below average coach. The Cowboys have a history of post-season failure, while the Seahawks have a history of post-season success. Russell Wilson has had an MVP worthy season, and I just think this is a tough draw for Dallas. The Seahawks have won four of the last five meetings versus Dallas since 2012, including a pair of wins at Dallas. I think Seattle can do everything Dallas can do, without making as many mistakes. I'll take the points. Take SEA. GL, Jesse Schule |
