01-30-24 | Miami-OH v. Kent State -8 | Top | 71-67 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the KENT ST. GOLDEN FLASHES for our MAC Game of the Month. Kent St. is coming off a loss against Ohio at home on Friday which was its fifth loss in seven games and its third straight loss at home. The Golden Flashes could do nothing from long range as they went 4-23 from behind the arc which was an aberration as they came in ranked in the top 80 in the conference in three-point shooting. They are now 5-5 at home with the previous two losses prior to Ohio were against Akron and Toledo, both of which are 7-1. Despite a 3-5 record in the conference, Kent St. is No. 4 in NET ranking. Miami Ohio is coming off a huge upset on Saturday as it handed Akron its first conference loss of the season as an 8.5-point underdog which sets up a big letdown situation hitting the road. The RedHawks started the season 1-6 on the road and while they have won two of three since then, one of those came against 1-6 Buffalo and the other came against 3-5 Ball St. in overtime. Miami is 11-5 against the number in its last 16 games with the markets now needing to adjust especially coming off the recent upset. 10* (624) Kent St. Golden Flashes |

01-29-24 | Houston v. Texas +5.5 | Top | 76-72 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our CBB Star Attraction. Houston has shaken off two straight losses by winning its last four games, most recent a 22-point win over Kansas St. at home. Three of the four wins have been at home where the Cougars are now 12-0 and they hit the road where they are 2-2 and not in an ideal situation. The losses were close, by a combined five points but the wins have not been overly dominating as Houston won at Xavier and BYU by six and seven points respectively. Houston is No. 1 in the country in NET ranking which is no surprise but with that comes the bullseye and overvaluation in spots like this. Texas has been up and down this season as it fell to 3-4 in the Big 12 Conference following a Saturday loss at BYU. The Longhorns moved to 2-3 on the road and return home for their biggest game of the season and the atmosphere will be lit. They are 10-2 at home with the two losses coming against UCF and Texas Tech, both of which were games they should have won based on being significant favorites. While it has been up and down, Texas is 3-2 in Quad 1 games with those three wins tied for second most in the conference. 10* (884) Texas Longhorns |

01-29-24 | Magic v. Mavs -4 | Top | 129-131 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month. Dallas won in Atlanta on Friday with Luka Doncic putting up 73 points but the Mavericks gave it right back on Saturday with a home loss against Sacramento and they have now lost four of their last five games. It has been an up and down season for Dallas which is now four games over .500 but one thing is has had success in is bouncing back, going 13-7 straight up and against the number following a loss. Orlando is coming off a win over Phoenix last night to snap a two-game losing streak and after a huge start to the season, the Magic have regressed. Orlando is 8-15 over its last 23 games including a 4-10 record on the road and the early success is still overvaluing this team, one of only five teams with an ATS record of 60 percent or better. The Magic have played nine games this season with no rest and have gone 2-7 including a 1-6 record when not playing back-to-back home games. Here, we play against underdogs off an upset win as an underdog going up against an opponent off a home loss. This situation is 141-89 ATS (61.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (550) Dallas Mavericks |

01-29-24 | Jazz +1 v. Nets | Top | 114-147 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Utah is coming off a pair of road wins against two of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference and now id facing a third that is trending that way. The Jazz moved back over .500 and have been one of the hotter teams in the NBA since mid-December, going 17-7 over their last 24 games. While sitting in the No. 10 spot in the Western Conference, Utah is just 3.5 games out of the No. 5 spot with the bottom half being wide open. Utah is 14-1 ATS this season coming off consecutive road games. Brooklyn opened the season 12-9 but it has lost 18 of its last 24 games and is barely holding onto a playoff position in the Eastern Conference. The Nets are coming off a win over Houston, one of the worst road teams in the NBA, by a bucket as they nearly blew a 28-point lead. The win snapped a four-game home losing streak and a 2-7 run with one of those wins coming against Detroit. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 revenging a straight up loss as a favorite going up against an opponent after a cover as a double digit favorite. This situation is 44-11 ATS (80 percent) since 1996. 10* (539) Utah Jazz |

01-28-24 | Raptors +6.5 v. Hawks | Top | 125-126 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Toronto has lost four straight games while failing to cover any of those and it hits the road following a 20-point home loss to the Clippers. The Raptors are 6-16 on the road but they have covered 10 of those games which is a direct relation to being undervalued based on the numerous moves they have made. Despite being 13 games under .500, Toronto is just -2.4 ppg in scoring margin as it is top 20 in both offense and defensive efficiency. Atlanta has equally lost four straight games while also failing to cover any of those and despite being the worst ATS team in the league at 11-34, they continue to be overvalued. The Hawks are coming off the loss to Dallas where they gave up 73 points to Luka Doncic and are home favorites again where they have gone 1-11 ATS. They will keep any team in the game as the Hawks are No. 29 in defensive efficiency and effective field goal percentage defense. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after allowing 115 points or more in two straight games going up against an opponent after a loss by 15 points or more. This situation is 73-37 ATS (66.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (527) Toronto Raptors |
|||||||
01-28-24 | Quinnipiac v. Fairfield -2.5 | Top | 66-64 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the FAIRFIELD STAGS for our MAAC Game of the Month. Fairfield has won three straight games including a solid victory over St. Peter's to improve to 6-2 in the MAAC and this is not a real surprise as the Stags were picked to finish in the top third of the conference and they have been on a longer-term heater. They did have a bumpy start to the season as they opened 1-6 but fur of those losses were on the road and the stretch culminated with a home loss against Iona but Fairfield has gone 11-1 since then and most impressive is that seven of those wins were on the road. This is just the Stags fifth home game since December 1 and this is the big one. Quinnipiac opened MAAC with a loss at Canisius but it has won seven straight in the conference since then to grab a one game lead over St. Peter's and Fairfield for first place. The Bobcats do have four blowout wins but were far from dominant in the other three games and this is their biggest test in the MAAC thus far. They played a soft nonconference schedule and the three teams that they did play with a pulse resulted in losses to Massachusetts, Yale and Florida. 10* (852) Fairfield Stags |
|||||||
01-28-24 | Robert Morris v. Cleveland State -8 | 64-66 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND ST. VIKINGS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Cleveland St. is coming off a brutal loss on Thursday against Wright St. as it blew a double-digit lead with six minutes remaining and lost in overtime by eight points. The loss snapped an 18-game home winning streak for the Vikings and this is a great bounce back smash spot after falling to 5-5 in the Horizon League. They opened this season 10-0 at home and realistically should still be undefeated here but the defeat only get the fuel on fire to get it back before heading out on a three-game roadtrip. Robert Morris got off to a horrible start this season, going 4-11 in its first 15 games with two wins being non-Division 1 victories and the other wins coming against Fairleigh Dickinson and St. Francis PA which are No. 324 and No. 344 in the NET rankings respectively. The Colonials have responded with wins in three straight and four of their last five games but three of the wins were at home, two coming in overtime including one against 0-10 Detroit and the third home win was against 2-9 IUPUI and the Jaguars were also the victim of the only road win. 10* (846) Cleveland St. Vikings |
|||||||
01-28-24 | Purdue v. Rutgers +10 | Top | 68-60 | Win | 100 | 17 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Rutgers returns home following a 23-point loss at Illinois which was its second loss to the Illini this season. The Scarlet Knights have been horrible on offense as they are No. 328 in three-point percentage, No. 349 in shots inside the arc, and No. 329 in free throw shooting but they do have players capable of going off as four have scored at least 23 points in a game. Rutgers is 9-1 at home and the old RAC has been a tough place for opponents as they are 23-7 at home over the past two seasons, 33-11 at home over the past three seasons and 51-12 at home over the past four seasons. Purdue has won four straight games since losing at Nebraska and all have been blowouts but this is a tricky spot going to a small venue and while the Boilermakers do have three blowout wins on the road, they have lost twice, the other coming at Northwestern in their Big Ten Conference Opener. Purdue has a revenge game rematch against the Wildcats on deck which adds to the difficulty of this situation, especially winning by margin as the recent victories are overinflating this number. 10* (844) Rutgers Scarlet Knights |
|||||||
01-27-24 | CS Bakersfield v. CS-Fullerton -4.5 | Top | 50-68 | Win | 100 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the CS FULLERTON TITANS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. CS Fullerton opened Big West Conference action with a win at Hawaii then went on to lose four straight games but the Titans have rebounded with two straight wins on the road, a huge upset at Santa Barbara last Saturday and then a narrow win at Cal Poly on Thursday which should have them fired up here after that lackluster effort. Of those four losses, three came against UC Irvine, UC San Diego and UC Davis, all of which sit atop the conference at 7-1. Fullerton is just 4-3 at home but it has not been here much, having played five of its last seven games on the road. CSU Bakersfield has had a similar conference start although it has been the hotter of the two as it started 0-5 before winning its last three games. The Roadrunners also lost to those three top aforementioned teams but were not nearly as competitive but they are now on a 5-0 ATS run. The win over CS Northridge on Thursday was their first road win of the season after opening 0-8 and this is nothing new as going back, CSU Bakersfield is 7-35 in its last 42 road games. 10* (820) CS Fullerton Titans |
|||||||
01-27-24 | Pelicans v. Bucks -5 | Top | 117-141 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Milwaukee became the first team to fire its coach this season despite being 30-13 and sitting just 3.5 games out of first place in the Eastern Conference at the time. The Bucks won their first game with interim head coach Joe Prunty against Cleveland but lost the rematch with the Cavaliers last night and despite hiring Doc Rivers as the new head coach, Prunty will coach again Saturday. Milwaukee has failed to cover 11 of its last 13 games and this is helping keep this number within reason. The Bucks are 10-3 this season coming off a loss. New Orleans is coming off a bad loss last night as well as it fell by 24 points against Oklahoma City at home and while this could be a good bounce back opportunity, not in this spot at this place. The Pelicans are just 5-5 over their last 10 games following a four-game winning streak and they are currently tied with Phoenix for the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference. They have been pretty solid on the road this season but continues to struggle against the top teams as New Orleans is 5-15 ATS in its last 20 road games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .700. 10* (514) Milwaukee Bucks |
|||||||
01-27-24 | Air Force v. Fresno State -3.5 | Top | 70-84 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the FRESNO ST. BULLDOGS for our MWC Game of the Year. Air Force snapped an eight-game losing streak with a surprising 32-point win at UNLV as a 10.5-point underdog to pick up its first win in the Mountain West Conference. That was actually the fourth road win of the season for the Falcons which is another surprise as they have never travelled well but the other three wins were against South Dakota, Portland and Long Island which are No. 304, No. 306 and No. 352 in the NET rankings. The win over the Rebels was solid but Air Force is now being overvalued because of it. Fresno St. is also 1-5 in the conference as it too has played a top heavy schedule and it is coming off a great effort against Boise St. in a four-point loss on Tuesday. The Bulldogs started 5-1 at home but has lost three of its last four here although one of the other two came against Nevada and the third against Portland St. was by three points in overtime. While the conference and overall records are identical, Fresno St. has faced a schedule ranked No. 130 while air Force has faced the No. 267 ranked schedule. 10* (776) Fresno St. Bulldogs |

01-27-24 | Arizona State -2.5 v. Oregon State | Top | 71-84 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. We started selling Arizona St. following a four-game winning streak and it has lost three of its last four games but now comes into a fantastic spot Saturday night. The Sun Devils were blasted by Oregon on Thursday by 19 points to fall to 5-3 in the Pac 12 Conference but this league is still very wide open with only a game and a half separating seven teams. At 11-7, Arizona St. is outside the bubble despite playing a schedule ranked No. 13 as it lacks quality wins and it cannot afford to lose any bad games like this one. Oregon St. is coming off a monumental upset on Thursday as it defeated Arizona by three points as an 18.5-point underdog, its first win over a top ten team since 2015. This was a total fluke as it caught the Wildcats looking ahead to their game at Oregon on Saturday. That was the first Quad 1 win for the Beavers and they are still tied with USC for last place in the conference. While they are 10-2 at home, of the other nine wins, three were in overtime, five were against garbage teams and the other against USC. 10* (787) Arizona St. Sun Devils |

01-27-24 | Furman v. Wofford +5.5 | Top | 67-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the WOFFORD TERRIERS as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. We lost with Wofford on Wednesday as it was drilled at home against Chattanooga by 14 points which was its second straight loss following a three-game winning streak. The Terriers are now 4-3 in the Southern Conference and they remain home which has now turned into a big game as they travel to conference-leading Samford in their next game. That was the first home loss for Wofford after opening 7-0 and this will definitely be a test but the line is factored into that. Furman is coming off a massive win over Samford on Wednesday which snapped the Bulldogs 17-game winning streak to pull to within one game of first place in the conference. The Paladins have caught fire as they are getting healthy and have won five straight games following a 0-2 start in the SoCon. They are in a tough spot here however coming off that win and hitting the road where they are just 1-6. Four of their five games during the winning streak have been at home with the lone road win coming at 1-6 VMI. 10* (774) Wofford Terriers |

01-27-24 | Charlotte v. Tulane -3.5 | Top | 75-71 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the TULANE GREEN WAVE as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. Tulane is coming off a loss at UTSA on Wednesday by a point as a 5.5-point favorite as the Roadrunners hit the winning three-pointer with two seconds remaining. The Green Wave shot 62 percent from the free throw line which was surprisingly bad as it came in as a top 70 team from the stripe. They are now 3-4 in the American Athletic Conference with two losses by a point, the other coming against Florida Atlantic. Tulane is 1-4 in Quad 1 and 2 games but a solid 10-3 in Quad 3 and 4 games and that latter group is where this one falls into. Charlotte opened C-USA action with a loss at SMU but the 49ers have won their last six games while gong 5-1 against the number, missing the one cover by a point. Not much was expected from Charlotte in its first season in the AAC after coming over from C-USA so the fact it is in first place with Florida Atlantic is a big shock but we should see the regression. The 49ers opened 0-4 on the road and has won two straight but those were against the bottom ranked teams in NET rankings. 10* (702) Tulane Green Wave |
|||||||
01-27-24 | TCU v. Baylor -4.5 | Top | 105-102 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the BAYLOR BEARS as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. Baylor is in a smash spot as it has been off for a week following a pair of road losses at Kansas St. and Texas by a combined six points. Those came after a 3-0 start in the Big 12 Conference which included an impressive nine-point win over BYU which is No. 5 in the NET rankings. Now at 13-4 overall, the Bears return home where they are 10-0 and while they have gone 3-4 in Quad 1 games, they are undefeated against all other teams and TCU falls into a Quad 2 game. The Horned Frogs moved to 3-3 in the conference following a rather unimpressive five-point win at Oklahoma St. which is winless in the Big 12 at 0-6. The win snapped a two-game losing streak and that was the third road win on the season but the first two came at Georgetown and Hawaii, neither of which were quality. TCU has played a fairly soft schedule that is ranked No. 121 in the country and its 12 Quad 3 and 4 wins is the most in the conference but the horned Frogs are just 1-5 in Quad 1 games. 10* (712) Baylor Bears |
|||||||
01-27-24 | California Baptist v. Stephen F Austin -4 | Top | 81-79 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERJACKS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. After a 1-3 start in the Western Athletic Conference, California Baptist has won four straight games to move to 5-3 and it was not guilty of a lookahead against Texas Rio Gande Valley but now it takes a big step up in class here. All three of those previous wins came at home where the Lancers are 9-3 and the Thursday win was just the third on the road this season with the other two wins coming at UC Riverside and Southern Utah which are No. 266 and No. 273 in the NET rankings. Stephen F. Austin is coming off a tough two point loss against 18-2 and 8-1 in the WAC Grand Canyon but there is no time for a letdown as the Lumberjacks are now 5-3 in the conference, good for a three-way tie for second place. The loss snapped a four-game home winning streak and that was the second conference loss at home, both coming by two points with the other loss coming at Utah Tech by five points. The Lumberjacks have played a schedule ranked No. 218 compared to the No. 327 ranked slate for the Landers. 10* (674) Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks |

01-27-24 | Illinois State v. Evansville +2 | Top | 54-58 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the EVANSVILLE PURPLE ACES for our Sat. CBB Early Dominator. We won with Evansville on Tuesday as it easily covered against Northern Iowa but it lost outright for a 0-2 roadtrip. Evansville has bottomed out after a strong start to the season as it opened 10-2 but has now lost seven of its last eight games with the lone win coming against last place Valparaiso. The Purple Aces have faced a brutal start to the schedule in the Missouri Valley Conference as five of their seven losses have come against five of the top six teams in in MVC in Net ranking. Evansville is back home where it is 7-2 and comes in a perfect 8-0 in Quad 4 games. Illinois St. has won two straight games to move to 4-5 in the conference with those two wins snapping a six-game losing streak. The Redbirds picked up a rare road win last Saturday at Missouri St. to improve to 2-4 on the highway, the only other win coming against 1-8 Illinois-Chicago. Despite being just one game under .500 in the conference, Illinois St. is the second lowest ranked team in the NET rankings as its five Quad 3 losses are tied for the most in the MVC. 10* (632) Evansville Purple Aces |
|||||||
01-27-24 | Texas Tech v. Oklahoma -3.5 | Top | 85-84 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA SOONERS for our CBB Star Attraction. Following a 23-point loss at Houston last Wednesday which was its first Big 12 Conference loss, Texas Tech returned home and bounced back with a win over BYU. The Red Raiders remained perfect at home at 11-0 and they are in first place in the conference at 4-1, a half-game ahead of four teams. They are back on the road where they are 1-2, the one victory being a solid one over Texas, one of two Quad 1 wins compared to three losses in Quad 1 games. Oklahoma fell to 3-3 in the conference with a home loss against the Longhorns on Tuesday by 15 points which snapped a two-game winning streak. That was the first home loss for the Sooners which opened 11-0 at the Lloyd Noble Center and they are in a great bounce back spot here. Oklahoma has the same 2-3 record in Quad 1 games as the Red Raiders while sitting just one spot behind Texas Tech in the NET rankings. The Sooners need it to avoid falling under .500 with two tricky road games on deck. 10* (656) Oklahoma Sooners |
|||||||
01-27-24 | Missouri +6.5 v. South Carolina | Top | 64-72 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the MISSOURI TIGERS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Following a home loss to Georgia 11 days ago, South Carolina has won two straight games including a big home upset over Kentucky on Tuesday. The Gamecocks moved to 4-2 in the Southeastern Conference which is now one game behind Auburn and Alabama for first place. That was just the first Quad 1 win for South Carolina and despite a 16-3 record, it is only No. 51 in the NET rankings mostly due to a soft schedule. The win not only sets up a letdown spot but the Gamecocks have a game at Tennessee on deck. After a 7-2 start to the season, it has been a rough go of it for Missouri as it has lost nine of its last 10 games with all of the losses against major conference teams. This includes a 0-6 start in the SEC but the Tigers are coming off a solid effort at Texas A&M in a six-point loss. The game was decided at the free throw line with the Aggies outscoring Missouri 27-7 so home cooking was on display. This is another good spot facing the still celebrating Gamecocks which remain overvalued. 10* (623) Missouri Tigers |
|||||||
01-26-24 | St. Joe's v. St Bonaventure -2.5 | Top | 72-91 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our CBB Signature Enforcer. The most experienced team in the Atlantic Ten Conference has hit a wall as St. Bonaventure has dropped two straight games, both on the road, and four of its last five to fall to 2-4 in the conference and it has to take advantage of these next two home games with a game at Dayton to follow. The Bonnies return home where they are 6-2 which includes a conference loss to Fordham and the only other loss coming against Canisius by three points. The Bonnies are an excellent shooting team including No. 64 in the country in three-point shooting and more importantly, they are No. 14 in the nation in free throw shooting. They catch a St. Joeseph's team that has stabilized itself after a 0-3 start in the conference by winning its last three games but two of those were at home and the last win came as Massachusetts by a point on a last second layup. That was just the second road win for the Hawks which are now 2-4 in true road games, albeit the other road win was at Villanova but that was way back in November and catch the Bonnies at the wrong time. 10* (888) St. Bonaventure Bonnies |
|||||||
01-26-24 | Clippers v. Raptors +7.5 | Top | 127-107 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. The Clippers are coming off a three-game sweep of their recent homestand culminated with an 11-point win over the Lakers. Los Angeles improved to 19-4 at home and it hits the road for a seven-game roadtrip where success has not been the same as the Clippers are 9-10 and even though they have been solid as road favorites, this is not the spot. They head to Boston tomorrow so there is the lookahead to that and it is exemplified more that it is a revenge spot after the Celtics came to Los Angeles and won by 37 points in December. Toronto has lost three straight games following an eight-point loss to Memphis as a seven-point chalk and now the line has flipped. The Raptors have been sellers by getting rid of Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby to build for the future but they got pieces in return for the present that still makes this a talented roster. Toronto remains home after a solid rest of three days off and catches the Clippers at the right time. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points allowing 114 or more ppg on the season going up against an opponent after scoring 120 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 97-55 ATS (63.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (564) Toronto Raptors |

01-26-24 | Manhattan v. Canisius -7.5 | Top | 70-82 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the CANISIUS GOLDEN GRIFFINS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Canisius has been one of the biggest disappointments in the MAAC as it is off to a 2-6 start but four of those losses have been on the road. The Golden Griffins have played only six home games where it is 4-2 with the two losses coming within the conference against Fairfield and St. Peter's which are a combined 12-3 in the MAAC. Three of the four home wins have been average but the one exception is a 20-point win over 6-1 Quinnipiac and a home sweep against Manhattan and Marist this weekend is imperative. They are on a 0-7 ATS run which adds to a must play at home. Manhattan was not expected to do much this season as it was picked to finish No. 10 in the 11-team conference and it has not exceeded any expectations. The Jaspers have lost nine straight games including six within the conference where they are now 1-6 with the only win coming by just one point at home against Mount St. Mary's. Manhattan is 2-7 on the road with the two wins coming against Bryant and Central Connecticut St. by a combined six points. 10* (884) Canisius Golden Griffins |

01-25-24 | Bulls v. Lakers -4.5 | Top | 132-141 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Los Angeles has gone 8-14 since winning the In-Season Tournament including a loss against the Clippers on Tuesday which was considered a road game but still in the same building so there is no disadvantage for travel. This is the last home game before playing the next six games on the road so this is one the Lakers need. They were without LeBron James in the last game but he is expected to return tonight following three days of rest. Los Angeles is 15-8 in its 23 home games including wins in five of its last seven. Chicago lost in Phoenix on Monday by two points as it stayed within the number to make it three straight covers. The Bulls fell to 7-14 on the road which includes a 3-13 record as underdogs and while they are 7-9 against the number in those games, they are 3-6 ATS when getting between 3.5 and 9 points. Chicago will once again be without Zach LaVine who is out for at least two weeks with a sprained ankle which is not good for an offense that is No. 22 in efficiency. Here, we play on favorites in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams with a +/- 3 ppg differential, after a loss by 10 points or more. This situation is 75-34 ATS (68.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (556) Los Angeles Lakers |

01-25-24 | CS Bakersfield v. CS-Northridge -3.5 | Top | 64-56 | Loss | -115 | 28 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the CSU NORTHRIDGE MATADORS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. CSU Northridge opened December with a loss at Northern Colorado but then went on to win its next seven games including a 3-0 start in the Big West Conference. Since then however, the Matadors have lost three of their last four games with two of those losses on the road and the home loss against UC Santa Barbara. They lost at UC Riverside last Saturday by 19 points and they are back home in a much needed get right spot before going back on the road for two more games after Thursday and the Matadors are 7-2 at home. CSU Bakersfield snapped a five-game losing streak to open conference play with a pair of wins at home last week against UC Riverside and Cal Poly by 14 and 12 points respectively which moved it to 6-2 at home. The Roadrunners now hit the road where they are 0-8 but they have been respectable of late with the last two losses coming in overtime against UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara. They have covered four straight games heading into Thursday. 10* (836) CSU Northridge Matadors |

01-25-24 | Northern Arizona v. Idaho -3 | Top | 75-60 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the IDAHO VANDALS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Idaho is coming off a loss at Weber St. by 23 points but it was a horrible spot as the Wildcats were on a three-game losing streak and the Vandals look to break their own winless streak. They have dropped five straight games after opening Big Sky Conference action with a win against Sacramento St. and they are now off to a 1-4 start in the conference. Idaho was on a 5-0 ATS run but has gone 0-7-1 against the number in its last eight games and is back home where it is 5-5 but all five of those losses have come against teams with a winning record. Northern Arizona opened 0-3 in the conference but it has won two straight games to move out of the basement. Both of those wins were at home where the Lumberjacks are 5-0 but they come in just 3-9 on the road including losses in five straight and they were on a recent stretch similar to the Vandals. Prior to the two recent home covers, Northern Arizona had eight straight non-covers which did and still includes six straight on the road. 10* (812) Idaho Vandals |

01-25-24 | Florida International v. Western Kentucky -6.5 | Top | 91-105 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Western Kentucky fell to 2-3 in Conference USA after a pair of tough losses at New Mexico St. and UTEP and all three of those conference losses have been on the road but all by two or fewer possessions. The Hilltoppers are had to break in a new starting five under a new head coach and it has been pretty solid with a 13-6 overall record with the other three losses also coming away from home. Western Kentucky is back in Bowling Green where it is a perfect 8-0 and ready for another big rebound. Florida International is off to a 2-2 start in the conference following a loss at Liberty which came after a pair of home wins over New Mexico St. and UTEP to make it a 3-0 ATS run. The Panthers remain on the road where they are 1-6 in true road games and 1-9 overall away from home with the only road victory coming against Houston Christian which is ranked No. 340 in Adjusted Efficiency Margin. This is the second of three straight road games and similar to the loss against the Flames, this is a bad time at the wrong place. 10* (788) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers |

01-25-24 | California Baptist v. UT-Rio Grande Valley +4 | Top | 63-54 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS RIO GRANDE VALLEY VAQUEROS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. After a 1-3 start in the Western Athletic Conference, California Baptist has won three straight games to get over .500 but finds itself in a tough spot on Thursday. All three of those wins came at home where the Lancers are 9-3 and they hit the road where they have only two wins this season and have lost three straight. The recent run is good for an expected middle of the conference team but they could be in lookahead mode with a game at 5-2 Stephen F. Austin on deck while coming in on a 1-4 ATS run on the road. Overall, they have played a schedule ranked No. 329. Texas Rio Grande Valley had a rough start to the season as it opened 3-9 with two of those wins coming against non-Division 1 teams and the other coming against Texas A&M-CC by just a bucket but the Vaqueros have been playing a lot better. They have gone 3-4 over their last seven games which is not impressive record-wise but two of those losses came by a combined six points while a loss against 5-2 Stephen F. Austin by just seven points. 10* (780) Texas Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros |

01-25-24 | SMU v. North Texas | Top | 66-68 | Win | 100 | 25 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN for our AAC Game of the Year. North Texas heads home following its first American Athletic Conference loss as it went down by 12 points in Charlotte, which sits in first place in the conference at 6-1. The Mean Green had won six straight games overall prior to that defeat and have a chance for a quality win and move back within a half-game of the 49ers. They are a perfect 8-0 at home and are coming off their worst offensive output of the season with just 44 points thank to a 1-17 effort from long range but bring in a defense that is ranked No. 30 in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. SMU is also 4-1 in the AAC as it is riding a three-game winning streak all coming by double-digits ad it now heads back on the road where it is a respectable 3-2 with the two losses coming by a combined five points. The Mustangs are 9-0-1 ATS over their last 10 games which is playing into this number in addition to their 13-4 record overall. They lost to then 4-0 Memphis in their only true road test in the conference and head here at a bad time. 10* (762) North Texas Mean Green |

01-25-24 | Wright State v. Cleveland State +1.5 | Top | 107-99 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND ST. VIKINGS for our CBB Revenge Dominator. Wright St. and Cleveland St. both snapped two-game losing streaks to get back over .500 in the Horizon League and the Vikings have the advantage of remaining at home in the middle of a three-game homestand. They are coming off a win over IPFW to get to 5-4 in the conference and they remain perfect at home with a 10-0 record compared to their road struggles at 2-8. One of those losses was in the first meeting in Dayton by 12 points so there is revenge in play as well as avoiding losing the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Raiders rolled over Milwaukee by 14 points to also move to 5-4 in the conference and while motivation will be here as well, the road has not been mind to them either. Wright St. is 2-6 on the highway and while both of those wins were within the Horizon, both were against teams with a losing record. The Raiders have a great offense that is No. 34 in Adjusted Efficiency Margin but they make up for it with a horrible defense that is ranked No. 344 in Efficiency and it gets even worse on the road. 10* (768) Cleveland St. Vikings |

01-24-24 | New Mexico v. San Jose State +9.5 | Top | 95-75 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 8 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN JOSE ST. SPARTANS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. San Jose St. is off to a 1-4 start in the Mountain West Conference following a road loss at Fresno St. which came by three points and three of its four losses have been by a combined eight points including a three-point home loss against San Diego St. The Spartans are now facing another overvalued team and they do bring in a solid 4-1-1 ATS run which has them under the radar. The loss to the Bulldogs dropped them to 1-6 on the road and prior to the Aztecs loss, the Spartans were 5-2 at home. New Mexico is off to a 16-3 start but is in a tough spot. After suffering a loss against St. Mary's to fall to 1-1, New Mexico reeled off 11 straight wins and we have seen this before. The Lobos opened last season 14-0 but closed 7-10 down the stretch as the soft nonconference schedule caught up to them. Following the 11 straight wins, the Lobos lost at Colorado St. and they then lost again on the road at UNLV but they have won three straight games to get to 4-2 in the conference and have home games on deck against Nevada and Boise St. 10* (740) San Jose St. Spartans |

01-24-24 | Utah v. Washington State +1 | Top | 57-79 | Win | 100 | 28 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON ST. COUGARS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Washington St. is back home following a weekend split against Stanford and California and the Cougars remain at .500 in the Pac 12 Conference at 4-4. The loss to the Golden Bears on Saturday snapped a three-game winning streak with all three of those wins coming as underdogs which includes a win here against Arizona. The Cougars are 9-1 at home with the lone loss against Oregon and they will be out for recent revenge following a loss in Salt Lake City by 22 points to open conference play, their biggest loss of the entire season. Utah is coming off a pair of home wins against Oregon St. and Oregon as it continues to take advantage of a huge home court advantage where it is now 11-0. The Utes are just 1-3 on the road and while it was an impressive win over St. Mary's, the Gaels were not the same team they are now. Utah is 5-3 in the conference with the home team going a perfect 8-0 in those games and it is 1-9 in its last nine conference road games going back to last season, only beating Oregon St. 10* (736) Washington St. Cougars |

01-24-24 | Illinois v. Northwestern +4.5 | Top | 91-96 | Win | 100 | 27 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Northwestern returns home following a loss at Nebraska which was its second in its last three games to fall to 4-3 in the Big Ten Conference. The Wildcats are 10-1 at home with the lone loss coming against Chicago St. by a bucket as that was a game they just did not show up for. They have won all three of their Big Ten home games with two upsets as home underdogs against Purdue and Michigan St. and they will be out for another upset over a rival and one they will be up for following a 30-point loss in Champaign to open the month. Illinois has won two straight games including a 23-point win over Rutgers on Sunday to improve to 5-2 in the conference. The Illini improved to 10-2 at home and hit the road where they are 2-2 with the two wins against teams ranked lower than Northwestern. The Illini got Terrance Shannon, Jr. back in the last game against the Scarlet Knights after he missed six games because of a legal issue so they at back at full strength which will be great going forward but not in this spot. 10* (728) Northwestern Wildcats |

01-24-24 | Cavs v. Bucks -6.5 | Top | 116-126 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. Milwaukee became the first team to fire its coach this season despite being 30-13 and sitting just 3.5 games out of first place in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks are coming off a pair of wins over Detroit but both were unimpressive and this is the game to break out as teams typically step up in the first game with a new coach and the matchup situation calls for that even more. Milwaukee is 0-5 ATS in its last five games and has failed to cover 10 of its last 11. Prior to the games against the Pistons, the Bucks lost by 40 points to Cleveland setting up the big revenge angle. Cleveland has now won eight straight games, covering seven of those, but only two of those have been on the road coming against struggling Atlanta and Orlando. The Cavaliers have moved up to the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference and they are a respectable 12-7 on the road but are walking into a pissed off place tonight. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points failing to cover the spread in eight or more of their last 10 games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 83-43 ATS (65.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (536) Milwaukee Bucks |

01-24-24 | Grizzlies v. Heat -9.5 | Top | 105-96 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. Miami has dropped three straight games and made a big roster upgrade, acquiring Terry Rozier and shipping out Kyle Lowry which is going to pay dividends. The Heat are just 24-19 and tied for No. 6 in the Eastern Conference, and they rank No. 20 in offensive rating and this is a big game to get right with Boston on deck and while that could be a lookahead, not with a team that has lost three straight games. Memphis is coming off a win at Toronto by eight points as a seven-point underdog and despite that, this is a team that looks to be cashing it in sooner rather than later. The Grizzlies have actually been better on the road than at home but are in a tough spot here. Memphis has slowly been losing its top players as it has been without Ja Morant for eight games, Marcus Smart for six games, Desmond Bane for five games and the Grizzlies have gone 2-3 since those three have been out together. Here, we play on teams with a +/- 3 ppg differential after a blowout loss by 15 points or more going up against teams with a -3 to -7 ppg differential. This situation is 48-20 ATS (70.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (532) Miami Heat |

01-24-24 | Auburn v. Alabama -2.5 | Top | 75-79 | Win | 100 | 26 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE for our CBB Star Attraction. Alabama had its six-game winning streak snapped with a 20-point loss at Tennessee and that was just another big wake up call. That was the fifth Quad 1 loss for the Crimson Tide and while they are still a very strong team that has had to face the No. 6 ranked schedule in the country, they have to improve upon their lone Quad 1 victory which was against Oregon. Alabama is back home where it is 10-1 but has not really been tested but we are banking on the Crimson Tide stepping up, especially in a big rivalry game. Auburn has won 11 straight games following a win over Mississippi and most impressive, every one of the wins have been by double digits and while it does include some solid wins over four top 100 teams, the highest ranked was against No. 37 in terms of Adjusted Efficiency Margin. The Tigers are now 16-2 overall including a 5-0 record in the Southeastern Conference but this is just their fourth true road game of the season with the biggest test against No. 80 Appalachian St., which they lost. 10* (712) Alabama Crimson Tide |
|||||||
01-24-24 | Hornets v. Pistons -2.5 | Top | 106-113 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the DETROIT PISTONS as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. Detroit remains the worst team in the NBA but there are winnable games and this is one of those and a great spot for it to happen. The Pistons have lost three straight and 10 of their last 11 games since their last home win at the end of December against Toronto but they have been competitive as they are 7-4 ATS in those games. Detroit has struggled against the tougher Western Conference but are a respectable 14-11-1 ATS against the Eastern Conference. Charlotte is coming off a big upset at Minnesota despite Karl Anthony-Towns putting up 64 points as the Timberwolves decided not to play defense as the Hornets shot a season-high 56.8 percent from the floor and their 128 points is the second most they have scored this season. This is now a big letdown off the win and now without their top player Terry Rozier and Charlotte is 1-8 following a win while going 2-13 straight up following a cover, going 4-11 ATS in those games. Here, we play against road teams revenging a home loss of 10 points or more going up against an opponent off a home cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog. This situation is 36-14 ATS (72 percent) since 1996. 10* (530) Detroit Pistons |

01-24-24 | Samford v. Furman -2 | Top | 68-78 | Win | 100 | 26 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the FURMAN PALDINS for our SoCon Game of the Month. After starting the season 6-9 including going 0-2 to open Southern Conference action, Furman has won four straight games and a big reason for this is that the Paladins are finally healthy. Their top three scorers missed time with Alex Williams missing five games and All SoCon First Team players J.P. Pegues and Marcus Foster missing three and nine games respectively. Now, they are all back and fully healthy. They are still under the radar and at a buy low price and while three of the recent wins have come against the three worst teams in the conference, this team will be dangerous going forward. Samford remains undefeated in the conference at 6-0 following a win over Mercer which moved the Bulldogs to 13-0 at home. They hit the road where they are 4-2 with the two losses coming in their first two games of the season at Purdue and VCU so riding a 17-game winning streak, they are the hottest team in the country which puts them in an opposite sell high position and a perfect time to go against them as this is not sustainable. 10* (676) Furman Paladins |

01-24-24 | Chattanooga v. Wofford +1.5 | Top | 79-65 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the WOFFORD TERRIERS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Wofford is coming off a loss at UNC Greensboro which snapped a three-game winning streak and the Terriers are now 4-2 in the Southern Conference. The other loss was at Western Carolina by four points and the road has not been great with a 4-5 record but they have played a tough schedule away from home. Wofford returns home where it is 7-0 but not overly impressive with the three conference wins coming by just five points but the value is here. Chattanooga has won two straight and four of its last five games to move to 4-2 in the Southern Conference which is good for a four-wat tie for third place in the conference. Three of the four Mocs wins in the SoCon have come against three teams with a combined 3-15 record while the other came against Furman when the Paladins were still not at full strength. The two losses were by 15 and 16 points, one of those on the road at Samford where they are 4-5 with the other two wins coming in nonconference games at Louisville and Alabama A&M. 10* (696) Wofford Terriers |

01-23-24 | Evansville +13.5 v. Northern Iowa | Top | 63-70 | Win | 100 | 27 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the EVANSVILLE PURPLE ACES for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. We are going contrarian with Northern Iowa which is off a non-cover win against Southern Illinois. It was an uneven start for Northern Iowa as it opened 2-6 but two of those losses were in overtime, another by a bucket and one against North Carolina. The Panthers have gone 9-2 since then with the losses at Toledo by four points and against Indiana St which is probably the top team in the Missouri Valley Conference. The run has swelled this number and Northern Iowa is also in a bad spot with games at Drake and Bradley up next, both of which are also in the mix at the top of the conference. Evansville has bottomed out after a strong start to the season as it opened 10-2 but has now lost six of its last seven games with the lone win coming against last place Valparaiso. The Purple Aces have failed to cover their last five games so this is a great contrarian spot despite the recent road struggles where they have lost all by double digits but did cover two of those. 10* (641) Evansville Purple Aces |

01-23-24 | Nuggets v. Pacers +4 | Top | 114-109 | Loss | -114 | 12 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Indiana has dropped two straight games and four of its last five following an 8-1 run over its previous nine games and the Pacers return home following a six-game roadtrip. They are 13-8 at home and have been solid in this spot, going 4-2 straight up and against the number as a home underdog. It has been an awful stretch of defense where Indiana has allowed over 55 percent shooting over its last five games and the Pacers remain No. 26 in defensive efficiency but are much better at home. Denver handed the Celtics their first home loss of the season, snapping their 20-0 start to the season, two games back and followed that up with a lethargic win at Washington two nights later. The Nuggets have again had most of their success at home where they are 17-4 but come in 13-10 on the road which is good by most NBA standards but not necessarily when laying points. Denver is 11-7 when favored on the road yet covering only six of those 18 games. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams shooting 36.5 percent or better from long range, after two straight games allowing 50 percent shooting or higher. This situation is 42-17 ATS (71.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (518) Indiana Pacers |

01-23-24 | West Virginia v. UCF -8 | Top | 59-72 | Win | 100 | 26 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the CENTRAL FLORIDA KNIGHTS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. West Virginia came into Saturday with losses in four of its previous five games including a bad 14-point loss at Oklahoma but upended Kansas at home as a 10-point underdog and we all know what that means. This is not a good team to begin with but it caught lightning in a bottle and actually has been decent at home at 7-5 which is still not very good and now the Mountaineers hit the road where they are winless in six games including 0-2 in true road games. Those were both in the Big 12 Conference with the other coming against Houston by 44 points. Central Florida has been up and down in its first season in the conference as it has alternated losses and wins and the Knights are coming off their third Big 12 loss, falling in Houston by 15 points which actually was not a horrible result despite going the first 30 minutes of the game without making a two-point shot. They shot 15.9 percent from the floor and now back home where they are 8-3, the Knights face a much weaker defense. 10* (608) Central Florida Knights |

01-23-24 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech +3.5 | Top | 72-64 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 1 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Pittsburgh is another team coming off a major upset on Saturday and this one was on the road as it won at Duke as a 12.5-point underdog. That snapped a two-game losing streak that included a 22-point home loss against Duke which shows this team is hit or miss as the Panthers live and die by the three-pointer. They shot 50 percent from long range this past Saturday after shooting 33 percent in that first meeting and that is their season average so they are typically not very good. Pittsburgh improved to 3-1 on the road and after the recent win, it is now overvalued. Georgia Tech has fallen to 9-9 after losing for the sixth time in its last seven games following a nine-point loss at home against Virginia on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets dropped to 5-4 at home as they have lost three straight games here but they do have solid home wins against Duke and Mississippi St. and this is certainly the time to buy low. This is a big one with two of the next three games on the road and the home game against North Carolina. 10* (634) Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets |

01-22-24 | Idaho State v. Montana State -4.5 | Top | 70-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the MONTANA ST. BOBCATS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Montana St. had its two-game winning streak snapped with a loss against rival Montana to fall to 3-2 in the Big Sky Conference. The Bobcats remain home where they are 6-5 which is certainly not a great record but they need to bounce back here with this being their fourth straight home game and a two-game roadtrip on deck. Three of the other losses at home where by two of fewer possessions and all against teams ranked higher that the opponent tonight. One big factor for the overall record is that the Bobcats have faced teams with an average Adjusted Offensive Efficiency ranking of No. 115 and Idaho St. comes in ranked No. 265. The Bengals are also coming off a loss as they fell to Eastern Washington which halted a 3-1 run and a three-game cover streak. Idaho St. is now 2-4 in the conference and goes back on the road where it is 2-8 with the only wins coming against Campbell and Portland St. both of which are ranked lower than the Bobcats. This starts a tough stretch of four straight road games for the Bengals who have lost 10 straight meetings in this series. 10* (876) Montana St. Bobcats |

01-22-24 | Celtics v. Mavs +3.5 | Top | 119-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Ultimate Underdog. Dallas is coming off a loss in Los Angeles against the Lakers by 17 points and it has been a pretty average run so it is not surprise the Mavericks are getting points at home but based on the home/road splits of both teams, this is an overinflated number. Luka Doncic returned from his injury and was great but it was Kyrie Irving that was the big letdown as take away his 4-16 shooting performance and the Mavericks shot 50.7 percent so we can expect a better game from him against his former team. Dallas is back home where it is 13-9 and it is 20-8 ATS in its last 28 games after a loss by 15 points or more. Boston shook off its first home loss of the season after starting 20-0 with a win over Houston on Sunday but it failed to cover the big number. The Celtics hit the road where they are 13-9 while going 8-12-2 against the number showing them being overvalued. They have gone just 2-2 this season playing with no rest on the road. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams shooting 36.5 percent or better from long range, after two straight games allowing 50 percent shooting or higher. This situation is 42-17 ATS (71.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (512) Dallas Mavericks |

01-21-24 | Blazers v. Lakers -10.5 | Top | 110-134 | Win | 100 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Portland is coming off a win over Indiana which was its second straight underdog win which is just the second time the Blazers have won consecutive games since winning three in a row six games into the season. Portland hits the road where it is 5-17 and it is 0-7 on the season it road games coming off a home game, losing those seven games by an average of 13.7 ppg. The Lakers went on a 2-9 run but came back with wins in four of six to get some momentum going but are coming off a bad loss at home against Brooklyn by 18 points after blowing a 12-point lead. Los Angeles has gone 7-13 since winning the In-Season Tournament and even though it is against Portland tonight, it is a big game with seven of the next eight games taking place on the road. This is a great rebound spot as the Lakers are 22-9 in their last 31 games coming off a loss by 15 or more points. Here, we play against underdogs off an upset win as an underdog going up against an opponent off a home loss. This situation is 138-88 ATS (61.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (574) Los Angeles Lakers |

01-21-24 | Chattanooga v. East Tennessee State +1.5 | Top | 81-74 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the EAST TENNESSEE ST. BUCCANEERS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. East Tennessee St. fell to 1-4 in the Southern Conference, with a double digit win at home against Mercer and three losses on the road including a tough two-point loss at Wofford on Wednesday. That was the fourth road loss in five games but those were all against teams with at least 10 wins and the Buccaneers return to their home floor where they are a 6-1 on the season with the lone loss coming against 15-4 Western Carolina and includes an impressive win against Davidson. They are now catching the same amount at home as they were against the Catamounts. Chattanooga has won three of its last four games following a three-game losing streak and coming off a road win at Mercer to move to 2-5 in their last seven games on the highway. The other win was at Alabama A&M which is the second lowest ranked team in the country in Adjusted Efficiency which has been part of a soft schedule that is ranked No. 320 in the nation. This is a great example of a false favorite based on recent results that does not take a look at the whole picture. 10* (852) East Tennessee St. Buccaneers |

01-21-24 | Wichita State +4.5 v. South Florida | Top | 68-72 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Wichita St. lost its sixth straight game after hard-fought loss at Florida Atlantic which dropped the Shockers to 0-4 in the American Athletic Conference. They did snap a 0-8 ATS run but there is still no interest in backing this team but there is value here now as well as a great road situation. There is very little difference here in terms of rankings and efficiency ratings despite Wichita St. playing a rough schedule that is ranked No. 69 in the country. The Shockers have a stretch of four straight winnable games to get them back into the conference race before a game at Memphis. South Florida improved to 3-1 in the AAC with a huge upset at Memphis on Thursday which snapped the Tigers 10-game winning streak and brings the letdown aspect after one of the biggest wins in the program in years. The Bulls are back home where they are 8-2 but the schedule has been in their favor which is ranked No. 306 in the nation. They have faced offenses ranked No. 313 in Adjusted Efficiency and face an offense that likes to push it with the Shockers No. 69 in Adjusted Tempo. 10* (837) Wichita St. Shockers |

01-20-24 | St. Mary's v. San Francisco | Top | 77-60 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. MARY'S GAELS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. San Francisco has been a top team in the West Coast Conference but has never been able to get all the way to the top and now off to a 4-0 start, the Dons could be feeling it. However, we are not sold quite yet. They went 11-4 in their nonconference games with all four losses against quality teams with the best win being either Minnesota or Seattle. The 4-0 conference record is against teams 2-14 in the WCC so the overall schedule rank of No. 318 has played a big part in the success. St. Mary's had a rough start to the season as it opened 3-5 including a 1-5 stretch but it was against a brutal nonconference portion of its schedule. The five losses came against Weber St., San Diego St., Xavier, Utah and Boise St. but since then, the Gaels have gone 10-1 which includes a 4-0 record in the conference and additionally, they are 4-0 in true road games. The Gaels have had a week off and with the start of San Francisco, they will be at full attention on the road. 10* (817) St. Mary's Gaels |

01-20-24 | Washington v. Stanford -1.5 | Top | 80-90 | Win | 100 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the STANFORD CARDINAL for our CBB Star Attraction. Washington was coming off a 2-1 homestand which included handing Arizona St. its first conference loss and the Huskies went to UCLA where they were never in it but followed that up with a last second victory over California on a three-pointer. This is now the third straight road game for the Huskies where they had lost three straight prior to the win over the Golden Bears and this is the ultimate letdown just two nights later. After an 8-3 start in the nonconference including a win over Gonzaga which is no longer looking as good, Washington is just 3-4 in Pac 12 Conference. Stanford is coming off a bad loss against Washington St. by 14 points as it did not score for the first 3:29 of the game and it never led. The Cardinal were slight home favorites as they were coming in 7-2 at home that included strong conference victories against Utah and Arizona and at 4-3 in the Pac 12, this is a big one with three road games up next including Arizona and Arizona St. 10* (814) Stanford Cardinal |

01-20-24 | Jazz v. Rockets -2 | Top | 126-127 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. As expected, Houston lost its last game of its recent roadtrip by 15 points to the Knicks to close 1-5 on the trek and the Rockets fell to 4-15 on the road. They return home where things have been different as they are 15-6 both straight up and against the number including an 8-2 record as favorites, covering eight of those games as well. It has not been as good of late after a great start in Houston but it is a big edge and they are laying a great number in a needed win with Boston coming to visit tomorrow. Utah was on a roll as it won six straight games while covering all of those but had the streak snapped on Thursday with a loss against Oklahoma City. The Jazz have been pretty similar as to playing to the venue as they are 15-6 at home but now they hit the road where they are 7-15 and while they have done a better job covering, most of the underdog numbers have been big. Utah has gone 108 ATS this season in nine road games immediately coming after a home game. Here, we play against road underdogs after a loss by six points or less going up against an opponent after a loss by 15 points or more. This situation is 37-16 ATS (69.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (558) Houston Rockets |

01-20-24 | Southern Illinois v. Northern Iowa -5.5 | Top | 57-61 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHERN IOWA PANTHERS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Southern Illinois came through with the cover at home against Bradley but it ended up being a brutal one point loss. The Salukis led 45-24 at halftime but struggled down the stretch as Bradley reeled off a 13-4 run to close the game and sent the Salukis to a second straight loss following a six-game winning streak. The two recent losses came against two of the top teams in the Missouri Valley Conference and Southern Illinois hits the road off a disheartening loss and faces a third straight top level team. The Salukis are 2-2 on the road, the two wins against MVC teams a combined 3-11. It was an uneven start for Northern Iowa as it opened 2-6 but two of those losses were in overtime, another by a bucket and one against North Carolina. The Panthers have gone 8-2 since then with the losses at Toledo by four points and against Indiana St., arguably the best team in the conference at this points. A good number and a great home spot for the Panthers. 10* (790) Northern Iowa Panthers |

01-20-24 | Green Bay v. Northern Kentucky -5.5 | Top | 52-74 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHERN KENTUCKY NORSE for our Horizon Game of the Year. We lost with Green Bay on Thursday as it pulled off another upset and we are fading the Phoenix again which are playing on the road for the fifth time in their last six games. They improved to 7-2 in the Horizon League which is tied for first place with Oakland. Four of their conference wins have been at home and while they are off the upset against Wright St., the other two road wins were against IUPUI and Detroit, which are now a combined 2-15. Green Bay is on a 7-0 ATS run which adds value the other way and makes it a play against. Northern Kentucky has snapped a two-game slide with a pair of wins against Detroit on the road and Milwaukee at home to improve to 4-3 in the conference. It was a tough stretch for the Norse which played six of eight games on the road where they went 2-4 but the win over the Panthers got them to 7-1 at home with the only loss coming against 13-4 Akron by one point and this continues the stretch of six of seven at home. 10* (766) Northern Kentucky Norse |

01-20-24 | BYU v. Texas Tech -1 | Top | 78-85 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS for our Big 12 Game of the Month. BYU opened its first season in the Big 12 Conference with a pair of losses against Cincinnati and at Baylor but the Cougars recovered with a win at UCF followed up by a 15-point win at home against Iowa St. for their first conference home win. BYU hits the road again where it is 1-2 with the other loss coming at Utah which has been its only other loss on the season and now it heads to another tough environment. This is a sandwich spot coming off the win over the Cyclones and a home game with Houston on deck. Speaking of Houston, Texas Tech was in an awful spot as it hit the road to face the Cougars which were coming off a pair of road losses and the Red Raiders were no match in a 23-point loss. They are now 3-1 in the conference and at 14-3, the Red Raiders are where they are because of coaching after the hiring of Grant McCasland. Texas Tech is back home where it is 10-0 and in a great bounce back spot. 10* (750) Texas Tech Red Raiders |

01-20-24 | Cal-Irvine v. UC-Davis +2.5 | Top | 52-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the UC DAVIS AGGIES for our CBB Rivalry Rout. UC Irvine has taken the early lead in the Big West Conference as it is off to a 6-0 start following an 11-point home win over UC San Diego on Thursday. Four of the Anteaters conference wins have come at home and while the two road wins were by double digits, those were against Hawaii and CSU Bakersfield which are a combined 3-9 in the conference. Overall, they are 3-5 on the road with four of those losses coming against teams from the Mountain West Conference and they have another test here. UC Davis trails the Anteaters by half-game as it is 6-1 following a three-game winning streak that included a two-point win at CSU Fullerton on Thursday with the Aggies likely in lookahead mode. That comes from suffering their lone conference loss at UC Irvine in overtime just two weeks ago so they can jump into first place with a revenge victory. UC Davis is 7-3 at home after a 3-3 start but have won all four conference games while easily covering three of those. 10* (744) UC Davis Aggies |

01-20-24 | Washington State v. California +2 | Top | 75-81 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS for our CBB Contrarian Closer. California is coming off a disheartening loss on Thursday and while we are playing against another team off a similar finish, this situation is different. The Golden Bears had a six-point lead over Washington with just over two minutes remaining but were outscored 10-2 to close the game culminating with a game winning three-pointer at the buzzer for the Huskies. Remaining at home as opposed to hitting the road, California is in a good bounce back spot. The Golden Bears are 2-5 in the Pac 12 Conference with four of those losses coming in the final minute. Washington St. improved to 4-3 in the conference with a win at Stanford on Thursday which was its third straight victory, all coming as an underdog. The Cougars were coming off a big home win against Arizona last Saturday so they did not let down from that but they might now following a 14-point win and two straight road victories with two big revenge home games on deck against Utah and Colorado. 10* (746) California Golden Bears |

01-20-24 | Richmond v. Davidson -1.5 | Top | 69-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. Richmond has ripped off seven straight wins including four in the Atlantic Ten Conference to sit in a tie for first place with Dayton at 4-0. Five of the victories have been at home and the two road wins were by only two points each and the last one at Duquesne was gift wrapped by the Dukes which got outscored 12-2 over the final five minutes of the game. Richmond opened the season 0-3 on the road and the winning streak along with its 5-0 ATS run put them in a contrarian play against situation. Davidson picked up a much needed win at Fordham on Wednesday to avoid a 0-4 start in the conference. The Wildcats look to build off that 10-point win as they return home where they are 7-2 with the two losses coming in their last two home games against Dayton and Rhode Island, both of which are also atop the conference. This will be another test based on recent form from Richmond but the home floor will be the difference in what is a great number. 10* (700) Davidson Wildcats |
|||||||
01-20-24 | North Texas v. Charlotte +1.5 | Top | 44-56 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. Charlotte snuck out a win at Rice on Tuesday as it rallied from an eight-point halftime deficit to win in overtime by a bucket. We played against the 49ers in that spot and will back them in the follow up game as they return home in what is an early season big game. Charlotte dropped its American Athletic Conference opener at SMU but has won four straight to improve to 4-1 in the conference and the recent stretch includes a big win over Florida Atlantic. The 49ers are 7-1 at home with the only loss coming against Davidson by four points. North Texas is coming off its best season in program history following a 31-win season capped off with an NIT Championship and things were expected to go downhill heading to a new conference with a depleted roster and a new head coach. The Mean Green started slow but have won six straight games including a 4-0 start in the AAC but we can expect regression and with games against SMU and Florida Atlantic on deck, this is the spot for their first conference loss. 10* (712) Charlotte 49ers |
|||||||
01-20-24 | Texas-Arlington v. Abilene Christian +1.5 | Top | 67-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the ABELINE CHRISTIAN WILDCATS as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. UT Arlington has gotten back into the mix in the Western Athletic Conference as it has won three straight games, all of which have been at home, following a 1-3 start and now trails first place Grand Canyon by three games and will be tough to catch. The venue has been the difference in the conference and season record as the Mavericks are 4-0 at home in the WAC, 8-1 overall, and 0-3 on the road, 0-8 overall. One of those home wins came against Abeline Christian by 15 points in the conference opener for both teams so there is revenge in play for the Wildcats. Abeline Christian was picked to finish in the top portion of the conference but it has gotten off to a slow start at 1-5 to drop the Wildcats to 6-11 overall. Similar to UT Arlington, the venue has made the difference as four of those five losses have been on the road, including each of their last three games, while the lone home loss came in overtime against Stephen F. Austin despite forcing 28 turnovers. 10* (728) Abeline Christian Wildcats |

01-20-24 | New Mexico v. Air Force +11.5 | Top | 85-66 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the AIR FORCE FALCONS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. New Mexico is off to a 15-3 start but could not be in a worse spot Saturday. After suffering a loss against St. Mary's to fall to 1-1, New Mexico reeled off 11 straight wins and we have seen this before. The Lobos opened last season 14-0 but closed 7-10 down the stretch as the soft nonconference schedule caught up to them. Following the 11 straight wins, the Lobos lost at Colorado St. and they then lost again on the road at UNLV before returning home to pick up a pair of huge wins over San Diego St. and Utah St., the first conference losses for both of those teams and this sets up a huge letdown while laying a big number. Air Force played a great game at Colorado St. last time out as it led for much of it but eventually lost in overtime yet easily covered the big number. The Falcons are back home where Colorado Springs is notoriously a tough spot for opponents and while they are just 4-5 at home, three losses have been by five points or less and another by seven points. 10* (714) Air Force Falcons |

01-20-24 | Clemson -1.5 v. Florida State | Top | 78-67 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Following three straight losses to open January, Clemson snapped the skid with a win against Boston College but gave it right back with a home loss against Georgia Tech as an 11.5-favorite. The Tigers are now 2-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and are on a 1-4 ATS run with all four losses coming as favorites so they have been underachieving after an 11-1 start to the season. They opened the season with two road underdog wins but have dropped three straight with this being the get right spot. Florida St. was coming off a 9-23 season and while it was expected to get better, not many saw this coming. The Seminoles have already surpassed their win total as they are 11-6 and after losing their conference opener against North Carolina, they have won five straight ACC games to sit one game out of first place. Florida St. has covered all six of its conference games, four as an underdog, but this is the fade spot with this run not sustainable against a team in desperate need for a win. 10* (719) Clemson Tigers |

01-20-24 | Troy State v. Southern Miss +1.5 | Top | 63-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI GOLDEN EAGLES for our CBB Revenge Dominator. It has been an up and down season for Southern Mississippi, the reigning Sun Belt Conference champions and the favorites once again, as it got off to a 2-4 start before winning three straight games only to go on a 1-3 skid that included a bad conference opening loss against Georgia Southern by 21 points. The Golden Eagles have gone 4-1 since then to improve to 4-2 in the SBC and the lone blemish came last Saturday at Troy by 26 points so that loss is fresh in their heads and payback will be goal Saturday afternoon. Troy suffered its first conference loss as it went down at South Alabama by three points on Thursday after opening a surprising 5-0. The Trojans were picked as a middle of the conference team because of a depleted roster that returned only four players and it was a slow 5-6 start but they caught fire with a six-game winning streak but the schedule helped with five of those games at home and the one road game at now 5-12 Coastal Carolina. This is not a spot they want to be in come Saturday. 10* (686) Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles |

01-20-24 | St Bonaventure v. George Mason -1 | Top | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGE MASON PATRIOTS for our CBB Early Dominator. St. Bonaventure snapped a two-game losing streak with a 35-point win at home against Rhode Island to move to .500 in the Atlantic Ten Conference. The Bonnies are back on the road where they are 3-1 and while that includes an impressive 11-point win at VCU, the other two road wins were at Niagara and Buffalo which are ranked No. 278 and No. 313 respectively in Adjusted Efficiency Rating. The recent win over the Rams has overadjusted the number in a bad spot. George Mason was riding a six-game winning streak including a pair of wins over LaSalle and St. Louis to open conference play but the Patriots have since lost their last three games. This includes a tough last minute loss at home against VCU while the other two were on the road at Richmond and George Washington, both of which are off to surprisingly good starts in the A-10. George Mason is back home where it is 9-1 with that Rams loss being the lone blemish and it will be ready here. 10* (650) George Mason Patriots |

01-19-24 | UNLV v. Colorado State -6.5 | Top | 75-78 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO ST. RAMS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Colorado St. opened the season 13-1 that included an eight-point win over New Mexico to open Mountain West Conference action but the Rams hit the road for a pair of games in two tough environments at Boise St. and Utah St. and came out with two losses. Colorado St. returned home and was in jeopardy of a third straight loss as it fell behind Air Force by 12 points and was down a majority of the game before forcing overtime and eventually winning by nine points. If the two road losses were not a wake up call, that game was and now it is time for a full game effort before hitting the road against Nevada. UNLV has improved to 2-2 in the conference with upset wins as an underdog in two of its last three games while narrowly coming close to a third, losing to Utah St. by a point at home. The Rebels remain on the road after the win at Boise St. where they are 2-1 but the other victory came against 9-10 Pepperdine. UNLV is an impressive 9-7 overall because it has played a schedule ranked No. 23 in the country but the Rams are right there with a slate ranked No. 31 and a record four and a half games better. Perfect get right spot. 10* (892) Colorado St. Rams |

01-19-24 | Hawks v. Heat -6.5 | Top | 109-108 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Divisional Game of the Month. Miami is back home following 24-point loss in Toronto which snapped a three-game winning streak and it has been an average run with the Heat going just 5-5 over their last 10 games. The Heat still hold a two-game lead in the Southeast Division where they have dominated by winning all nine divisional games. Miami has struggled against the top teams in the league, going 5-11 against the top 16 which are the six fewest wins in the league but the Heat are 19-6 against the teams outside that. The favorite has gone 16-3 in 19 games in Miami. The Hawks have won two straight games for just the fourth time since early November but the last two have come against San Antonio and Orlando, both at home, and they are 0-4 in their last four games following consecutive wins, losing those games by an average of 15.5 ppg and all coming by at least nine points. The Hawks hit the road where they are 9-12 and following a non-cover against the Magic, they are now 10-30 against the number. Atlanta is 7-17 against the top 16 in the league. Here, we play on home teams off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite, playing six or more games in 10 days. This situation is 62-28 ATS (68.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Miami Heat |

01-19-24 | Marist v. Mt. St. Mary's -3.5 | Top | 48-65 | Win | 100 | 25 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the MOUNT ST. MARY'S MOUNTAINEERS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Marist opened the season 7-2 including a pair of early wins in the MAAC but then lost four straight games before rebounding with a victory over Rider by 23 points this past Sunday. The Red Foxes moved to 3-2 in the conference and are back on the road for just the second time this month. Marist opened the season 9-1 against the number but lost three straight covers before the recent ATS win and that overall record is adding value the other way. It is even heightened by the fact the Red Foxes have played the easiest schedule in the country. Mount St. Mary's had a much more difficult start to the season as it went 1-5 in its first six games but two of those losses came in overtime and another two came against major conference teams Maryland and Georgetown. The Mountaineers also played another two road games at Mississippi and Georgia of the SEC and they competed in all four major conference opponents, coming a point and half away from covering all four. The overall 6-10 record is skewed based on the tougher schedule and 11 of the 16 games taking place on the road and they are back home where they are 4-1. 10* (882) Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers |

01-18-24 | Oregon v. Colorado -6.5 | Top | 70-86 | Win | 100 | 16 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO BUFFALOES for our CBB Late Powerhouse. It has been a typical season for Colorado which has a huge home court advantage but struggles on the road. The Buffaloes went 2-1 in neutral court games scattered throughout the nonconference schedule but has lost all four of its true road games including three in the Pac 12 Conference against Arizona, Arizona St. and California, the last two by just seven points combined. The Buffalos are a perfect 10-0 at home including three wins in the conference. They are laying a manageable number here with a lot of that based on their current 0-4 ATS run. Oregon has been on a roll with six straight wins that includes a 5-0 start in the conference to take an early one game lead over Arizona St. Three of the Pac 12 wins have been at home with the two road wins at Washington and Washington St. by a total of seven points and those venues do not compare to Boulder. The Ducks did win their only other true road game which came at Florida A&M and they did lose three straight neutral court games so while 9-0 in Eugene, they are 3-3 away from home with this being their toughest road encounter. 10* (840) Colorado Buffaloes |

01-18-24 | Eastern Washington v. Weber State -4.5 | Top | 80-78 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the WEBER ST. WILDCATS for our Big Sky Game of the Month. The two preseason favorites in the Big Sky Conference square off Thursday night with each coming in on opposite runs. Weber St. opened the season 2-0 in the conference but dropped a pair of games last week against Sacramento St. and Portland St. but both of those were on the road and they came by a combined five points so this team could easily be undefeated right now. The Wildcats are back home where they are 7-0 and looking to avenge a sweet at the hands of the Eagles last season. Eastern Washington rolled through the conference last season with a 16-2 record and despite losing its three top scorers, it is once again off to a great start. The Eagles are only 9-7 overall as they faced a brutal nonconference schedule but has opened 3-0 in the Big Sky while currently riding a five-game winning streak overall. Going back, Eastern Washington has covered its last eight lined games and after a 0-6 start on the road all against major conference teams, it is 4-1 over its last five road games but against bad competition and Weber St. is by far the biggest test since the end of November. 10* (812) Weber St. Wildcats |

01-18-24 | Portland State v. Northern Arizona +4.5 | Top | 65-84 | Win | 100 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHERN ARIZONA LUMBERJACKS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Portland St. snapped a two-game losing streak with an upset win at home against Weber St. to move to 2-2 in the Big Sky Conference. The Vikings opened the season 5-0 but it has been a mixed bag since then especially on the road. They are 5-1 at home after the win over the Wildcats but have gone 2-4 over their last six road games with the two wins coming by a combined eight points against Fresno St. and Idaho, the former coming in overtime by three points and the latter picked to finish last in the conference. Northern Arizona has lost two straight games and five of its last six but all of those losses were on the road where it is 3-9. Of the Lumberjacks first 17 games, only three have been at home where they are 3-0 including a win in their last home game against Summit League co-favorite North Dakota. While they are 0-3 in the conference, all three games have been on the road and now they come in as a home underdog on Thursday with a lot of that due to their current 0-8 ATS run as they have the big value edge against a team in a big letdown spot. 10* (792) Northern Arizona Lumberjacks |

01-18-24 | Bulls -2.5 v. Raptors | Top | 116-110 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Toronto continues to trade away its core and last night was the perfect example for players to step up in the first game after a significant trade only to let down the time out which happens to be the second of a back-to-back set. The Raptors snapped a four-game losing streak with the victory and they are now 16-25 overall yet are still in the playoff mix because of the weakness of the Eastern Conference but are in a bad spot tonight. Toronto is 2-5 when playing with no rest while going 3-12 in its previous 15 games following a win. Chicago has been off since Monday following a loss in Cleveland as the Bulls will look for a bounce back as they have been playing a lot better since becoming healthy. Chicago opened the season 5-14 through its first 19 games but the Bulls have won 14 of their last 23 games and have moved into the No. 9 spot in the conference. They are in a rare position of laying points on the road but they have gone 3-1 in four games in this role and off their worst offensive game of the season. Here, we play on road teams with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 revenging a loss where opponent scored 110 or more points, playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. This situation is 95-53 ATS (64.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (521) Chicago Bulls |

01-18-24 | Green Bay v. Wright State -9.5 | Top | 88-81 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the WRIGHT ST. RAIDERS for our CBB Revenge Dominator. Green Bay is the early season surprise in the Horizon League as the Phoenix have gotten off to a 6-2 start which is tied for first place with Oakland. After winning three games all of last season including two in the Horizon, Green Bay was again expected to struggle and while things are looking good, this will not last. The Phoenix have won all three home games within the conference while two road wins were against IUPUI and Detroit, which are a combined 1-14. Green Bay is on a 6-0 ATS run which adds value the other way and makes it a play against. Wright St. was the preseason favorite to win the conference and at 4-3, it is just a game and a half out of first place. The Raiders are coming off a loss at Youngstown St. which was their fifth road game over their last six where they went 2-3. That includes a loss at Green Bay by 11 points as a 7.5-point favorite so same season revenge comes into play already. Wright St. is 5-2 at home with the two losses against Western Kentucky and Toledo and this is just the third conference home game so the schedule has not been in its favor. 10* (752) Wright St. Raiders |

01-18-24 | Campbell v. William & Mary -4.5 | Top | 77-64 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the WILLIAM & MARY TRIBE for our CBB Signature Enforcer. William & Mary is coming off a loss at home against Stony Brook by four points which was its second straight home loss and just its second home loss of the season. The first came against 5-0 Drexel and this is a great spot for a bounce back and get back over .500 in the Coastal Athletic Association as the Tribe are 2-2. They are 6-2 on their home floor compared to 1-8 away from Williamsburg and this has turned into a big spot with the next three games taking place on the road. Campbell is in its first season in the CAA after coming over from the Big South Conference and it is off to an identical 2-2 start while going 8-9 overall. The Camels opened conference action with a 14-point loss at North Carolina A&T and then defeated Hampton on the road with those two teams pegged for the bottom of the CAA. They are coming off a home upset over Hofstra as nine-point underdogs to notch their first home conference win and that sets up the letdown. Campbell owns three wins against non-Division 1 teams and overall it has played a schedule ranked No. 359 out of 362 teams in the country. 10* (754) William & Mary Tribe |

01-18-24 | Coastal Carolina v. Georgia Southern -2.5 | Top | 70-73 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGIA SOUTHERN PANTHERS for our CBB Contrarian Closer. Georgia Southern has gotten off to an awful start as it is 2-15 on the season but two of those wins have been in the Sun Belt Conference where it is 2-3 and finally has a week where it can stay put. This is the first of back-to-back home games which is the first time this has occurred this season as 14 of the Eagles 17 games have come away from home and they are coming off four straight road games. While they are 1-2 here, the one victory was an upset over defending Sun Belt Conference Champion and preseason favorite Southern Mississippi while the two losses were by seven points combined including one against CAA favorite UNC Wilmington. Coastal Carolina is off to a similar 2-3 start in the conference following a win at home against Old Dominion. The Chanticleers have played an opposite schedule than that of the Eagles as they have played only three true road games, going 1-2 with the one win coming against 1-4 Texas St. Coastal Carolina has a revenge game on deck against Appalachian St. which it lost to by 25 points just a week ago so this is a tough sandwich spot. 10* (762) Georgia Southern Eagles |

01-18-24 | Florida International v. Liberty -12.5 | Top | 69-78 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the LIBERTY FLAMES for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Liberty is in its first season in Conference USA after coming off a 27-win season in its last in the Atlantic Sun Conference and came into this year as the preseason favorite with a ton of returning experience. The Flames have not lived up to that thus far as they have started 0-3 with two of those losses coming down to the final seconds. They are back home where they are 6-2 including a conference loss against Jacksonville St. and a close loss against 16-1 Grand Canyon. Liberty is laying a big price here but it is for good reason and while the season is not on the line, the Flames need a statement win to get that confidence back. Florida International is off to a 2-1 start in the conference following a pair of home wins over New Mexico St. and UTEP. The Panthers are now back on the road where they are 1-5 in true road games and 1-8 overall away from home with the only road victory coming against Houston Christian which is ranked No. 347 in Adjusted Efficiency Margin. This is the first of three straight road games and the trek begins at the wrong place at the wrong time. 10* (768) Liberty Flames |

01-17-24 | Maryland v. Northwestern -4.5 | Top | 69-72 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS for our Big 10 Game of the Month. Northwestern was 3-1 in the Big Ten Conference before heading to then undefeated Wisconsin and lost by eight points on Saturday and the Wildcats return home after two straight games on the road. Northwestern is 9-1 at home with the lone loss coming against Chicago St. by a bucket as that was a game they just did not show up for and that was a lesson learned. The Wildcats have won both of their Big Ten home games which were both upsets as home underdogs against Purdue and Michigan St. and their 12-4 overall record is even more impressive considering having played the No. 84 ranked schedule in the nation. Maryland has won two straight games to move to 3-3 in the conference including an upset win at Illinois on Sunday which was just its second road win on the season after a 1-3 start. Not only is there the letdown effect but the Terrapins have a game at home against Michigan St. up next. The price here does not fit as they are getting nearly six points less than they were getting against the Illini which has the same record as Northwestern both in the conference and overall. 10* (726) Northwestern Wildcats |

01-17-24 | Bradley v. Southern Illinois +2.5 | Top | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SALUKIS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Southern Illinois is 4-2 in the Missouri Valley Conference as it has four wins sandwiched in-between its two losses as it opened with a 29-point loss at Indiana St. and most recently, an 18-point loss at home against Drake with those two teams a combined 11-2 in the conference. That loss to the Bulldogs was just the Salukis second home loss of the season with the first coming against Austin Peay by two points. After a six-game winning streak against the number, they have lost their last two at the window and are now catching points based on the opponent. Bradley opened 0-2 in the conference with losses against Murray St. and Indiana St. but has reeled off four straight wins, part of a six-game winning streak. That followed a five-game losing streak which came after a 6-0 start to the season so it has been a streaky opening and this starts a brutal stretch where the Braves go the other way. The four-game MVC winning streak has come against teams a combined 5-20 with those four teams occupying the bottom four spots in the conference so this is a false favorite number. 10* (708) Southern Illinois Salukis |

01-17-24 | Rockets v. Knicks -4.5 | Top | 94-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Houston is coming off a pair of losses against two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference as it has been a great team at home but an awful team on the road. On the season, the home team is 29-10 which includes the Rockets going 4-14 on the road including 2-14 when getting points. They are having an amazing turnaround with 19 wins already this season after winning only 22 games all of last season so they are going to shatter that number and they are right in the playoff mix as they are currently in the No. 11 spot in the Western Conference. The Knicks are coming off a home loss against Orlando which snapped a four-game home winning streak where they are now 11-5. This is the second game of a four-game homestand and a stretch of 12 of 14 games taking place at MSG. With the next two games coming up against Washington and Toronto, there is no looking past Houston. And this is even more so coming off a loss where New York is 12-4 straight up and against the number after a defeat. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points outscoring their opponents by three or more ppg, after allowing 105 points or less in two straight games. This situation is 79-44 ATS (64.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (510) New York Knicks |

01-17-24 | Rhode Island v. St Bonaventure -8 | Top | 64-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. St. Bonaventure opened Atlantic Ten play with a win over VCU, part of an 8-1 run, but it has dropped its last two games at 4-0 Richmond and most recently at home against Fordham on Saturday. With a pair of tough road games on deck, this has turned into a big game for the Bonnies which are now 5-2 at home, the only other loss coming against Canisius by three points. They are a slower paced team as they are No. 306 in Adjusted Tempo but they make up for it as they are an excellent shooting team including No. 41 in the country in three-point shooting and more importantly, they are No. 6 in the nation in free throw shooting. Rhode Island is off to a surprising 3-0 start in the conference with all three of those victories coming as an underdog. Overall, the Rams have won and covered four straight games which came right after a 0-5 run, both straight up and against the number. They hit the road where they are 1-2 with the lone win coming at Davidson which is mired in a 0-3 skid, and the two losses were at Providence and Charleston by 15 points each. The Rams are a great shooting team as well but are second to last in the country in free throw shooting. 10* (692) St. Bonaventure Bonnies |

01-17-24 | Ole Miss v. LSU -3.5 | Top | 80-89 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the LSU TIGERS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Mississippi is one of only three one loss teams in the country but it is the lowest ranked of the three in Adjusted Efficiency Margin. The Rebels are ranked No. 70 with a lot of that due to the soft schedule they have played which is ranked No. 256. Their best win of the season came against No. 46 Memphis which is a very strong victory but it was only by three points on their home floor. Mississippi has played only three true road games which resulted in wins over Temple and UCF by a combined three points while its lone loss of the season was at Tennessee by 26 points. The Rebels have won two straight games since then but those were against Florida and Vanderbilt, two of the worst teams in the conference. LSU opened SEC play with a pair of wins at Texas A&M and at home against Vanderbilt but got rolled at Auburn on Saturday by 15 points so it is in bounce back mode to remain in the top third of the conference. The Tigers are back home where they are 7-2 that includes a horrible loss against Nichols St. which was just their second game of the season and the other against red hot Kansas St. by three points. 10* (694) LSU Tigers |

01-17-24 | Virginia Tech v. Virginia -4 | Top | 57-65 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the VIRGINIA CAVALIERS for our CBB Star Attraction. Neither Virginia Tech nor Virginia are in good position for the NCAA Tournament and this is part of a big stretch for the Cavaliers. They are 2-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and it has been all about the venue. They are 2-0 at home, part of a 9-0 overall home record, with the two conference wins coming by 22 and 24 points while dropping all three ACC road games by 22, 16 and 19 points and those differentials are signs of a team that is not very good. Despite that, we are backing them here at home in a get right game against a rival after two road losses with four more potential wins on deck before the tough portion of the conference schedule starts to kick in. Virginia Tech is also 2-3 in the conference following a home loss to Miami on Saturday. The loss was the Hokies first at home this season after opening with eight straight wins in Blacksburg. Virginia Tech hits the road for a pair of games this week where it is 0-3 including two losses against Auburn and Wake Forest by 17 and 23 points respectively. The Hokies has been solid offensively but face their biggest test against a Virginia team that is No. 20 in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. 10* (702) Virginia Cavaliers |

01-16-24 | Kings v. Suns -4 | Top | 117-119 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Phoenix is coming a pair of road wins at the Lakers and Blazers to get back to three games over .500 and more importantly, completely healthy. Home court has not been to the Suns advantage as they are 11-11 while going 6-15-1 against the number but the majority of the games have been without a full roster. Phoenix is in the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference which is not ideal but will be a tough out if they can remain healthy and the early injuries can be to their advantage in a season that still has over four months left. The absences have been factored in with the Suns going 2-8 as underdogs and 19-10 as favorites and the markets are still slow to catch up. Sacramento is coming off a great game against Milwaukee as it lost by a point on Sunday to make it two straight losses and now face one of the top teams in the league for a third straight game. The Kings dropped to 10-9 on the road and while going 16-4 against bottom 16 teams, they are just 7-12 against the top half. Here, we play against road underdogs off two or more consecutive road losses going up against an opponent off a road win by 10 points or more. This situation is 25-7 ATS (78.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (572) Phoenix Suns |

01-16-24 | Wisconsin v. Penn State +6 | Top | 83-87 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the PENN ST. NITTANY LIONS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Penn St. is coming off a 17-point loss at Purdue on Saturday which comes as no surprise after the Boilermakers were embarrassed at Nebraska in their previous game and the Nittany Lions are now 2-4 in the Big Ten Conference. This includes a 0-3 record on the road with another loss at Michigan St. and the third coming at Maryland in overtime. Penn St. is 7-2 at home with the lone conference loss coming against Northwestern by four points and the one conference win at the Bryce Jordan Center came against 12-4 Ohio St. where they erased an 18-point deficit. The defense leads the way at home and getting points in a low scoring game is a big edge for the underdog. Wisconsin remains the lone undefeated team in the conference as it improved to 5-0 following a victory over northwestern on Saturday. The Badgers have won six straight games overall and have covered their last five and as good as they are playing, this is not sustainable and are in a tough spot with the unbeaten start and a big revenge game at home against Indiana on deck. Wisconsin is 2-2 on the road with the two losses at Arizona and Providence and while Penn St. is not on that level, the line is factoring that in this overlay. 10* (646) Penn St. Nittany Lions |

01-16-24 | Texas A&M v. Arkansas +3.5 | Top | 77-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS for our CBB Contrarian Closer. Texas A&M picked up its first conference win with an overtime victory at home over Kentucky following a pair of double-digit losses to open SEC action. The Aggies hit the road where they are 2-2, the two wins coming in their first three games of the season as they have dropped their last two against Virginia and Auburn by 12 and 11 points respectively. The win over the Wildcats snapped a four-game skid against the number and they head to Fayetteville in an awful spot with a game on deck at LSU which is an early season revenge game against the Tigers following an 11-point home loss less than two weeks ago. Arkansas came into the season ranked No. 14 in the preseason AP Poll and opened 3-0 before suffering a bad home loss against UNC Greensboro which started a 1-3 slide. The Razorbacks responded with a big home win against Duke which opened a 5-1 run but conference action has not gone their way as they are 0-3. Arkansas got blown out at home against 14-2 Auburn by 32 points and it dropped its subsequent two games against Georgia and Florida by double digits as well but those were on the road and this is the get right game back on its home floor as it is in need of a quality win in addition to a conference win. 10* (650) Arkansas Razorbacks |

01-16-24 | Charlotte v. Rice +2.5 | Top | 81-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the RICE OWLS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Charlotte opened American Athletic Conference play with a loss at SMU but it has won its last three games with the first being a big upset against Florida Atlantic. Two of the wins have come at home where the 49ers are 7-1 and while they are coming off a road win on Saturday, it was against UTSA which was coming off consecutive overtime games and they remain on the road where they lost their first four games of the season. Three of those games were as underdogs while the one game when favored resulted in a bad loss at Stetson. This is a tough trip with a home game on deck against 3-0 North Texas. Rice fell to 0-3 in the conference and overall, it has lost four straight games, failing to cover any of those. Two of the three AAC losses were on the road with the lone home loss coming against aforementioned UTSA in one of those overtime games. The Owls are 5-3 at home and coming off two straight defeats here following a four-game winning streak. This is the first season in the American Athletic Conference after coming over from C-USA for Rice and it is still seeking its first victory in the conference and this is the best spot it has been in to grab that initial win before heading back out on the road in its next game. 10* (634) Rice Owls |

01-16-24 | Richmond v. Duquesne -3.5 | Top | 63-61 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the DUQUESNE DUKES for our A-10 Game of the Month. Richmond is on a roll with six straight wins including a 3-0 start in the Atlantic Ten Conference. The Spiders are off a win over George Mason on Saturday at home following a victory at Loyola-Chicago by just two points which is their only road win this season after starting 0-3, losses at Northern Iowa, Wichita St. and Boston College, failing to cover in any of those defeats. Richmond is already up to 11 wins after winning 15 games all of last season and the start is surprising after a big roster turnover that included just one returning starter and a preseason prediction of a No. 11 finish in the 15-team conference and fall into a bad spot on Tuesday. This has turned into a big game for the Dukes. Duquesne is coming off a 20-win season and the Dukes were expected to keep it rolling but they are 9-7 that includes some very impressive mid-major wins but also includes a 0-3 record in the conference coming in as a top four team. Two of those losses were on the road with the latest defeat at home on Friday against conference favorite Dayton and they remain home where they are 5-2, the other loss coming against 13-1 Princeton. Duquesne has failed to cover its last six lined games which not only provides value but the contrarian play on angle as well. 10* (612) Duquesne Dukes |

01-16-24 | TCU v. Cincinnati -3 | Top | 77-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our CBB Star Attraction. TCU bounced back from a brutally controversial loss at Kansas with a nine-point win over Oklahoma on Wednesday and then followed that up with a one point win over Houston on Saturday. The Horned Frogs improved to 9-0 at home and while they are 2-1 on the road, those two wins were against Georgetown, which was a very controversial win that offset that Kansas loss, and Hawaii with those two wins coming by a combined five points. While they proved they can compete on the road against quality opposition, this is a bad spot coming off those first three games and facing a desperate team. Cincinnati opened its first season in the Big 12 Conference with an upset win at BYU but it has lost two straight games since then with both that could have gone the other way. The Bearcats lost by a point at home against Texas in the final six seconds and then lost at Baylor on Saturday by three points as they missed their last five shots in the final minute of the game. They return home where they are 10-1 and while they have faced weak opposition with the exception of Texas, this is a great bounce back spot and the start of an important stretch with four of the next five games taking place at Fifth Third Arena. 10* (614) Cincinnati Bearcats |

01-16-24 | Central Michigan v. Ohio -10 | Top | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the OHIO BOBCATS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Ohio is coming off a pair of tough road losses last week, falling to Bowling Green and Western Michigan by five and two points respectively to drop to 1-3 in the Mid-American Conference. The Bobcats are back home where they are 1-1 in the conference with the loss coming against 4-0 Toledo and they are 5-3 overall with the other two losses coming by two possessions. Ohio has fallen two games under .500 at 7-9 with eight of those losses coming by no more than two possessions and this is an important two-game homestand with games at Akron and Kent St. on deck after this. Central Michigan is off to a surprising 3-1 start in the conference as it lost its MAC opener against Buffalo but has won its last three games, all outright as an underdog including a huge 15-point win over one of the conference favorites Kent St. as a 7.5-point home underdog. The recent run is overvaluing the Chippewas and also gives us a play against letdown situation as they hit the road again where they are 3-5, two conference wins over teams a combined 1-7 and the other against USF. The five road losses have come by 30, 27, 27, 35 and 38 points so either they have completely figured something out or have simply just been in good spots. It is the latter. 10* (626) Ohio Bobcats |

01-15-24 | Spurs v. Hawks -7.5 | Top | 99-109 | Win | 100 | 21 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Afternoon Dominator. Atlanta snapped a two-game losing streak with an overtime win over Philadelphia last week but has dropped its two games since then including a horrible 28-point loss at home against Washington on Saturday. The Hawks continue to take money from backers as after opening 3-3 against the number, Atlanta is 6-26 ATS in its last 32 games and the Hawks have gone 0-9 against the number as home favorites so this a contrarian spot (they closed as underdogs against the Sixers). The defense has been one of the worst in the league as the Hawks are No. 27 in defensive efficiency while sitting dead last in Effective Field Goal Percentage but have a break against a limited San Antonio offense. The Spurs picked up a pair of wins last week but those were against Detroit and Charlotte and it followed those up with a home loss against Chicago. San Antonio now embarks on a five-game roadtrip where it is 4-15 and on the season, it has gone 5-25 following a loss. The Spurs have been cashing as they are on a 6-0 ATS run based on the closing line and are catching a smaller than anticipated number. Here, we play against road underdogs after a loss by six points or less going up an against opponent after a blowout loss by 15 points or more. This situation is 36-16 ATS (69.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (556) Atlanta Hawks |

01-15-24 | Pennsylvania +9.5 v. Cornell | Top | 60-77 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the PENN QUAKERS for our CBB Early Dominator. Penn opened Ivy League action with 29-point win over Dartmouth and hits the road as a significant underdog and it is too big. The victory snapped a two-game slide which were against two ranked teams and overall, it has played a tough schedule. Penn has struggled on the road as it is 1-5 but three of those losses were at Kentucky, Houston and Auburn with another loss coming in overtime and the fifth coming against a very solid St. Joseph's team. The Quakers are shooting 40 percent from long range which is tops among Ivy League teams and they have hit double figures in three-pointers made nine times this season including seven of the last nine and eight of the last 11 games. Cornell has gotten off to an 11-3 start including a win over Columbia in its first conference game. The Big Red have had their way with inferior competition and their best win according to Adjusted Efficiency was against No. 172 ranked Colgate and in comparison, the Quakers are ranked higher. Cornell is undefeated at home but has played only four home games and one of those was against non-Division 1 SUNY-Morrisville. 10* (865) Penn Quakers |

01-15-24 | George Mason -1.5 v. George Washington | Top | 62-75 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGE MASON PATRIOTS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. George Mason opened Atlantic Ten Conference action with a pair of double-digit wins against LaSalle and St. Louis but has dropped its last two that both came down to the final minute. The Patriots were hurt by poor perimeter shooting in those games as they went a combined 8-37 from long range which is an aberration considering they are a top 70 team in three-point shooting. George Mason lost at Richmond in its last game which was only its second road loss with the other one coming at top ten Tennessee. The Patriots have won 10 of their 12 games as favorites. George Washington finished 16-16 last season and has already won 13 games coming into Monday but the schedule has played a big part in that. The Revolutionaries has played a slate that is ranked No. 359 and have played against teams with an average ranking of No. 360 in Adjusted Efficiency Offense and George Mason comes in ranked No. 96. George Washington is 10-1 at home with the loss coming against Fordham and again, the schedule has led to that success as it has been favored in every home game and by at least 9.5 points in seven of its nine lined games. 10* (869) George Mason Patriots |

01-14-24 | Washington v. UCLA +1.5 | Top | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our CBB Star Attraction. UCLA won the Pac 12 Conference last season with an 18-2 record and it won 31 games overall before falling in the Sweet 16 so a regression was expected but not to this extent. The Bruins are 6-10 overall including 1-4 in the conference and they quite possibly hot rock bottom in their last game. UCLA lost at Utah 90-44 which was its worst loss in 27 years and if there is any pride on this team and from its players, this is the bounce back spot. The Bruins have now lost four straight games, failing to reach 60 points in any of those games. Washington is coming off a 2-1 homestand which included handing Arizona St. its first conference loss and the Huskies are now 2-3 in the Pac 12 after they opened with a pair of losses at Colorado and Utah. We were on Washington against the Sun Devils but they are in a very tricky spot especially hitting the road where their only win was a one point victory at Seattle in overtime. They play at a fast pace as they are No. 61 in Adjusted Tempo and that is a welcomed sight for the Bruins offense to find their rhythm. While contending in the Pac 12 is likely out for UCLA, this game could dictate the rest of the season. 10* (846) UCLA Bruins |

01-14-24 | Cleveland State -1 v. Green Bay | Top | 71-79 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND ST. VIKINGS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Cleveland St. is coming off a loss on Friday afternoon to fall to 4-3 in the Horizon League and this is the start of a stretch to make a move with this road game followed by three straight games at home. The Vikings finished last season in a tie for second place and they have been picked to finish third but are not off to the start they wanted. The three losses all came on the road at Wright St., Milwaukee and Youngstown St. which are three of the other top five teams in the conference. Cleveland St. is on a 0-4 ATS run which makes it a play on situation. Green Bay is the early season surprise in the conference as the Phoenix have gotten off to a 5-2 start which is tied with two other teams for first place so it is very wide open. After winning three games all of last season including two in the Horizon, Green Bay was again expected to struggle and while things are looking good, this will not last. The Phoenix have won all three home games within the conference while two road wins were against IUPUI and Detroit, which are a combined 1-12. Green Bay is on a 5-0 ATS run which adds value the other way and makes it a play against. 10* (835) Cleveland St. Vikings |

01-14-24 | Cal-Riverside v. Hawaii -8 | Top | 56-63 | Loss | -106 | 25 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the HAWAII WARRIORS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. Hawaii has lost two straight games and five of its last six and has fallen to 1-3 in the Big West Conference following a pair of 10-point losses against CSU Northridge and UC Irvin. The Warriors have now lost four straight games on their home floor and the confidence of bettors has been dwindling after a 2-8 run against the number including a 1-6 ATS stretch on the island but they are in a great bounce back spot before heading back out on the road for a pair of games next week. While it is a great rebound situation for Hawaii, it is an awful one for UC Riverside. The Highlanders snapped a two-game slide with a win at home over Cal Poly, the worst team in the conference, which was on Thursday and now they have a quick turnaround having to travel to Hawaii for a game two nights later. This has always been a tough edge for the opposition that has to play in Hawaii in the second leg of a Thursday-Saturday set and now Riverside catches the Warriors at the wrong time on top of it. 10* (802) Hawaii Warriors |

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO TERREROS for our WCC Game of the Month. San Diego opened the season 2-0 before a six-point loss at rival UC San Diego, then won three straight games but went on a 1-3 stretch with the three losses coming against Hawaii, Stanford and Utah St., all away from home. The Terreros got it back together with a 4-1 run to close their nonconference schedule and West Coast Conference action hit them right out of the gate with games against the three best teams in the conference in St. Mary's, Gonzaga and San Francisco, the last loss coming by 20 point on Thursday. Now it finally catches a break. We won with Pepperdine on Thursday as it rolled past Pacific and it was in a similar spot to what San Diego is in tonight as it had to face Gonzaga and Santa Clara in its first two conference games and then the Waves caught a cupcake at home. Now they hit the road against a desperate and beaten down team in a bog need to a win. Pepperdine is 0-4 on the road with the last three losses coming by 26, 22 and 25 points. 10* (794) San Diego Terreros |

01-13-24 | Bulls -5.5 v. Spurs | Top | 122-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Chicago had its three-game winning streak snapped with a home loss against Golden St. on Friday to fall back to four games under .500. The bottom part of the Eastern Conference is not very good as the Bulls are right in the playoff mix, currently holding down the No. 9 spot and part of a group of four teams separated by 2.5 games. Chicago has not been good on the road with a 5-12 record but nine of those losses have come against teams that are in a playoff spot and overall, Chicago has gone 10-6 against teams outside the top 16 and have won two of three games as a road favorite. San Antonio has won consecutive games for just the second time this season after beating Detroit and Charlotte, two of the three worst teams in the Eastern Conference. After a 3-2 start, the Spurs are 4-28 over their last 32 games and the home and road splits are similarly bad. This is the fifth time San Antonio is playing back-to-back nights and it has gone 0-4 both straight up and against the number in the previous four games playing with no rest, losing those games by an average of 18.5 percent. 10* (531) Chicago Bulls |

01-13-24 | St. Mary's -5 v. Santa Clara | Top | 73-49 | Win | 100 | 20 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. MARY'S GAELS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Santa Clara is coming off one of its biggest wins in recent memory after defeating Gonzaga by a point on Thursday on Steve Nash Night. The Broncos snapped a 26-game losing streak against the Bulldogs and they are undefeated in West Coast Conference play after three games for the first time since the 2003-04 season. This is the ultimate letdown spot and the time to go against Santa Clara after the notorious court storm as getting back up two days later will be a challenge no matter how big the opponent this time around. St. Mary's had a rough start to the season as it opened 3-5 including a 1-5 stretch but it was against a brutal nonconference portion of its schedule. The five losses came against Weber St., San Diego St., Xavier, Utah and Boise St. but since then, the Gaels have gone 9-1 which includes a 3-0 record in the conference. With the Thursday happenings in Santa Clara, they will be fully focused on the Broncos in a great spot with one of the best defenses in the country. 10* (749) St. Mary's Gaels |

01-13-24 | Sam Houston State v. Middle Tennessee | Top | 60-51 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIDDLE TENNESSEE BLUE RAIDERS for our CBB Contrarian Closer. It has been a tough start to the season for Middle Tennessee St. as it is 6-10 and has had to overcome the loss of All C-USA guard Camryn Weston who suffered a season-ending knee injury a game and a half into the season. The Blue Raiders lost their conference opener on Thursday against Louisiana Tech and they have now lost five straight games against Division 1 opponents. The loss of Weston hurts but this is still a good roster and this is the get right game especially with this number as we go contrarian against their current 1-10 ATS run. While this is a play on the Blue Raiders, it is also a play against Sam Houston St. The Bearkats are in their first season in C-USA after coming over from the WAC and they have gotten off to a perfect 2-0 start with wins against Louisiana Tech and Western Kentucky but both of those were at home where they are 6-2. They now hit the road where they are 2-6 including four straight losses and playing their first road conference game. 10* (722) Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders |

01-13-24 | Jacksonville State v. Western Kentucky -2 | Top | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 23 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS for our C-USA Game of the Year. Jacksonville St. has won six straight games to improve to 10-7 overall which comes after winning 13 games overall last year in its final season in the Atlantic Sun Conference. The transition to Conference USA could not have started any better as the Gamecocks have checked both boxes as they won their first ever conference game last Saturday at home against Florida International and followed that up with their first conference road win with a huge upset at Liberty on Wednesday by 10 points as an 11-point underdog. Now comes the letdown. Western Kentucky was coming off another disappointing season so a change was made in the head coach with an overhaul of the entire roster and so far it is working. The Hilltoppers were riding an eight-game winning streak to improve to 12-3 but headed to Sam Houston St., another team in its first season in the conference, on Wednesday and had their winning streak snapped in a loss by four points. They return home where they are 7-0 and laying a great price. 10* (712) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers |

01-13-24 | BYU -5.5 v. UCF | Top | 63-58 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the BYU COUGARS as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. Welcome to the Big 12 BYU. The Cougars were one of the most dominating teams in the country early in the season as they made it as high as No. 4 in Adjusted Efficiency Margin while starting 12-1, the lone loss coming at Utah. Since then, they lost at home against Cincinnati, another conference newcomer, and then lost their first road conference game at Baylor which is currently No. 14 in Adjusted Efficiency Margin. BYU looks to shake off those losses as it faces another Big 12 new arrival and this is a great spot. We played against UCF last Saturday as it played its first conference game and it was on the road on top of it as it got hammered at Kansas St. by 25 points. The Knights could not have had a better bounce back as they returned home for their Big 12 home opener against Kansas and won outright by five points as a seven-point underdog. It was a court storm which sets up going up against UCF in an ultimate letdown situation and against a desperate team in search of a maiden conference win. 10* (681) BYU Cougars |

01-13-24 | Bowling Green v. Northern Illinois +1.5 | Top | 83-72 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHERN ILLINOIS HUSKIES as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. It has been a tough run for Northern Illinois as it has lost eight straight Division 1 games but it has been a brutal stretch of the schedule. Five of those losses have been on the road including two against Big Ten teams and the last two in the MAC at Ohio and Western Michigan. They are back home where they are 3-3 which includes three straight losses but those where against Indiana St., Northern Iowa and Akron and now they finally catch a break as they look to break their 0-8 ATS run as well. Bowling Green won 11 games last season and has already matched that win total but unlike the Huskies, the schedule has been in its favor. The Falcons have played a slate ranked No. 351 (out of 362 teams) with two of those wins against non-Division 1 teams and despite such a soft schedule, they have not been favored like a team should be despite playing only three away games. Bowling Green is 1-2 in those games with both losses coming by double digits and the win being by only two points over 5-13 Southern Indiana. 10* (684) Northern Illinois Huskies |

01-13-24 | Fresno State v. Wyoming -4 | Top | 67-68 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the WYOMING COWBOYS as part of our CBB Afternoon Three-Pack. Wyoming is 8-8 including a 1-2 record in the Mountain West Conference and has faced a tough schedule that is ranked No. 57. The Cowboys have lost their last two games by 17 and 24 points but those were both on the rod and they return home where they are 5-1. Wyoming added a big piece to its roster as Mason Walters became eligible six games ago and the NAIA National Player of the Year last season is already averaging 12.5 ppg. The Cowboys are on a 0-5 ATS run which adds value and makes this an auto play in this situation. Fresno St. has also dropped two straight games against two of the top teams in the conference including a 15-point loss at home against Nevada. The Bulldogs are coming off a 20-loss season with not a whole lot coming back and they have been better than anticipated at 7-7 overall but have struggled on the road. Fresno St. does own a minor upset at San Diego but its three road losses have been by 10, 20 and 27 points while two neutral court losses have been by 31 and 29 points. 10* (686) Wyoming Cowboys |
