01-20-16 | Georgia v. Missouri +2.5 | 60-57 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Georgia at Missouri 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- Georgia is looking for their second win over Missouri in the last two weeks and have a huge climb after their total beat-down 79-45 at home against Texas A&M on Saturday. The Tigers like the Bulldogs come off a beating of their own to South Carolina. The Tigers were routed by Georgia 77-59 two weeks ago and have lost four straight in the series but Georgia is 0-3 in true road games this season. This time the Tigers gain some revenge. Take MISSOURI! Â Â |

01-19-16 | Pacers v. Suns +7 | 97-94 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Indiana at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Pacers- What a difference a tear makes...Last season the Suns weer the club that was the odd-man out in the Western Conference as they played well and had the best point spread record in the NBA. This season has been a complete disaster as the currently have lost 13 of their last 14. Phoenix coach Jeff Hornacek is on the hot seat and was not pleased with the Suns effort in their last loss to Minnesota and made it a point to embarrass his club publicly. The inconsistent Pacers have lost 12 of their last 15 visits to Phoenix. Take the SUNS! |
|||||||
01-19-16 | Thunder v. Nuggets +8.5 | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Thunder- Oklahoma City has already pounded the Nuggets twice this season as they won by an average 25.5 points while hosting both encounters. The Thunder look as though they have started to turn it on as they have four four in-a-row and six of seven and are off a 25-point 99-74 route of Miami on Sunday. Denver is on pace to lose 50 games against this season but still have a shot at the playoffs. This time the Nuggets keep it close. Take DENVER! Â |
|||||||
01-19-16 | Houston +13 v. SMU | 73-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
Houston at Southern Methodist 9:00 ET Cougars (+) over Mustangs- It was just over a week ago I thought “this Houston club can play some basketball and even though it was a small sample I saw quickness and shooting. Now, I don't see the same club. They stopped making shots and have dropped two straight and haven't looking good doing it! Yeah, and what about the only undefeated Division I school in the country. SMU is well coached and I find it difficult to play against Larry Brown but in this spot I must. Look for a scrappy effort out of the Cougars. Take HOUSTON!  |
|||||||
01-19-16 | Clemson v. Virginia -10 | 62-69 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
Clemson at Virginia 8:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Tigers- Virginia who started 12-1 this season have now lost three-of-four and are hosting the 'hottest' team in the ACC. Clemson has won five-straight ACC contests after losing to North Carolina to start conference play. Considering these two teams are 1 and 2 in ACC scoring defense with the Cavaliers allowing 61.2 and the Tigers at 62.4 it is surprising to me that this 'number' is as high as it is. Virginia won by 23 (65-42) last season and will do it again tonight. Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
01-19-16 | Bucks +5.5 v. Heat | Top | 91-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 0 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Miami 7:30 ET Bucks (+) over Heat- The Heat just finished a six-game road trip and leave for another five-game trip after this game is over. With such an early abundance of early home games Miami's record my be a little patted and not the will be traveling for most of the second half. Milwaukee has picked up their offense and have won back-to-back games and six of their last 10 as they close in on playoff position. These teams will meet three times this season and this is the first contest between them and the Bucks won all four of last year's match-ups. Take MILWAUKEE! Â |
|||||||
01-19-16 | South Carolina v. Ole Miss +1 | Top | 77-74 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
South Carolina at Mississippi 7:00 ET Rebels (+) over Gamecocks- The bubble has burst for South Carolina who had their unbeaten streak (15-0) to open the season halted by Alabama 73-50 on Wednesday and they bounced back with a home win over Missouri on Saturday. Mississippi has dropped two straight losing to LSU and Florida last week and get to host the Gamecocks who they have defeated 12 of the 13 meetings in Oxford as the home team has won 13 of the past 15 regular season meetings. Ole' Miss is 7-1 at home and get the nod here. Take MISSISSIPPI! |
|||||||
01-18-16 | Warriors v. Cavs -3 | Top | 132-98 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
Golden State at Cleveland 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Warriors- What is happening in professional basketball? The Warriors have dropped two-of-three as they enter Cleveland to play the Eastern Conference champs. The Cavaliers have revenge on their minds as they still are bitter about Golden State 'cruising' the final three games of the NBA Finals last season as they claim that injuries were the difference. With Kyrie Irving back and Kevin Love more at ease the Cavaliers are starting to make their championship push and a win here will set them straight. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
01-18-16 | Texas Tech v. TCU +2.5 | 76-69 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Texas Christian 7:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- Both these clubs have struggled since Big-12 play started winning just one of five conference games. Both clubs lost to superior competition Saturday but were close enough to get the cover. Both teams rank at the bottom of the conference in made 3-pointers as TCU is ninth (5.4) and Texas Tech is 10th (5.1). TCU took both meetings last season including a 20-point win at Tech and believe they have enough to defeat the banged-up Longhorns. Take HORNED FROGS! |
|||||||
01-18-16 | Syracuse v. Duke -11 | 64-62 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Syracuse at Duke 7:00 ET Blue Devils (-) over Orange- This is something I don't remember seeing in recent memory and that is the Blue Devils on a two-game losing streak. With their coaching back at full strength the Orange have won their last two including routes of Wake Forest and Boston College (not much to be said about either club) Duke has won three-of-four against the Orange and will regroup here. Syracuse is 9-23 ATS in their last 32 following a straight-up win while the Blue Devils are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 following a ATS loss. Take DUKE! |
|||||||
01-18-16 | Jazz +2.5 v. Hornets | 119-124 | Loss | -102 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Utah at Charlotte 2:00 ET Jazz (+) over Hornets- In a rare week day afternoon start the Utah Jazz will be in Charlotte with a red-hot Rudy Gobert back from an 18-game absence because of a knee injury. The Hornets who were in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt have fallen in the standings by losing nine of their last 10 and after this the Hornets are on the road for six of seven games. For some reason Utah has had their way against Charlotte winning 11 of the past 12 meetings. I'm stick with the 'mojo.' Take UTAH! |
|||||||
01-18-16 | Blazers +4.5 v. Wizards | 108-98 | Win | 100 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Portland at Washington 2:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Wizards- The Trailblazers with a virtual 'new' cast this season have struggled but nothing as bad as their last performance a114-89 loss to the pitiful Philadelphia 76ers. Washington had their own four-game winning streak ended Saturday by the Celtics 119-117 as they slipped one-game under .500. Bradley Beal is an important part of the Wizards attack and his unjuries have caught up with Washington. Take PORTLAND! |
|||||||
01-17-16 | Pacers v. Nuggets +3 | Top | 126-129 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
Indiana at Denver 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Pacers- Indiana is a club that needs to bring their best effort to the arena every night or they will continue to struggle as they are. They have lost their last two and nine of their last 15 as they were run out buy the Celtics in the fourth quarter on Wednesday and fell to Washington at home on Friday. The Pacers seem to have problems with Denver as the Nuggets won both meetings last season and seven of the last eight. Take the NUGGETS! |
|||||||
01-17-16 | Virginia v. Florida State +4 | 62-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Virginia at Florida State 6:30 ET Seminoles (+) over Cavaliers- After dropping two straight for the first time in almost three years Virginia coach Tony Bennett made some adjustments and inserted Sophomore guard Marial Shayok and Freshman center Jake Salt and the mover paid off as the youngsters led the Cavaliers to victory last time out. While Virginia is a gaudy 8-0 at home they are just 1-3 in true road games while Florida State is 6-1 at home. To top is all off Virginia is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
01-17-16 | Steelers +8 v. Broncos | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 21 h 30 m | Show | |
AFC Division Playoffs- Sunday 4:45 ET Pittsburgh at Denver Steelers (+) over Broncos- I was so convinced when I saw the opening number that I would be on the Broncos and laying the points. But, things change so fast. All week, I hear is that Roethlisberger can't throw more then 30 yards and now we understand Antonio Brown (by far their most productive receiver) is out with a concussion and is still waiting for an apology from Adam 'Pacman' Jones. The more I hear about the Steelers demise and more paranoid I became about Manning's condition? The question now becomes can Pittsburgh's defense force Manning into interceptions? I think they can. Somehow, I believe the Steelers will make the Broncos pay before this day is over. Take PITTSBURGH! Â |
|||||||
01-17-16 | George Mason +2 v. St. Louis | 92-79 | Win | 100 | 4 h 25 m | Show | |
George Mason at St. Louis 3:00 ET Patriots (+) over Billikens- A pair of bottom feeders who have no shot at any post season play face-off at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis and I'm sure that NBC Sports is delighted to have this one on their slate. To start with George Mason has dropped their last four and all six of their true road games this season and is 0-4 in conference play. The Billikens are just 5-6 as hosts and giving up more points then they score. As a favorite they stumble here. Take GEROGE MASON! |
|||||||
01-17-16 | Michigan State v. Wisconsin +6.5 | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 59 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Wisconsin 1:30 ET Badgers (+) over Spartans- It is a bit surprising to see Wisconsin getting this many points at home but when you see that they have lost their last three and have failed every big test presented to them. They did come close against Maryland but faulted when it counted most. Michigan State meanwhile lost at home to Iowa for the second time this season a task that the Badgers completed last season. I'm looking for the Spartans to be focused after their loss to the Hawkeyes but the Badgers need it more after three straight losses. Take WISCONSIN! |
|||||||
01-17-16 | Seahawks +2.5 v. Panthers | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -107 | 17 h 59 m | Show |
NFC Division Playoffs- Sunday 1:05 ET Seattle at Carolina 1:05 ET Seahawks (+) over Panthers- It's all gravy now for the Seahawks! Imagine governor Matt Blair actually called a stroke before mid-night to save Seattle from elimination. The last time these two played in Seattle the Panthers over-came a 20-7 fourth quarter deficit for a late 27-23 win that dropped the Seahawks to 2-4 and Carolina to 6-0. This is a battle between the 'new' prototype quarterback who does as much and if not more with his legs than his arm. Cam Newton according to most reports in the MVP and his counterpart Russell Wilson leads the NFC in passing. But, defense has been key to the Seahawks survival as they allowed just 43 points during their six game win streak. This time the veteran savvy and experience will spell the difference. Take SEATTLE |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Kings +6 v. Clippers | 110-103 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Sacramento at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Clippers- Does the absence of Blake Griffin have anything to do with the Clippers 10-game win streak, I'm not sure but maybe time will tell. Los Angeles was already without Griffin and now it appears their 'other' big man DeAndre Jordan was out with the flu onWednesday and even if he returns it will not be at full strength. Sacramento finally has DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay and Rajon Rondo on the same page as they scrap for respectability. The Clippers have taken the last five in this series but the Kings are 6-1 ATS in their last seven on the road against a team with a wining record. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Arkansas v. LSU -7 | 74-76 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Arkansas at Louisiana State 8:30 ET Tigers (-) over Razorbacks- Well if you haven't seen it yet it's time you tuned in and caught some of the Ben Simmons show. See for yourself if he is the real deal! He's very impressive and you will get to enjoy it as LSU tears apart the Razorbacks. Arkansas comes down to Baton Rough winning three straight and off a 33-point 94-61 win over Missouri, while the Tigers took Ole Miss 90-81 with Simmons leading the way. Look for the Tigers to run the Hogs down. Take LSU! Â Â |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Packers v. Cardinals -7 | 20-26 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 31 m | Show | |
NFC Division Playoffs- Saturday 8:15 ET Green Bay at Arizona Cardinals (-) over Packers- I know we all rode on the Packers last week and after eight weeks of lousy football as they return to the scene of the crime (a 38-8 beating here 2 weeks ago). Arizona had reeled off nine straight wins before laying-down against the Seahawks 36-6. Now, once against we have a 'well rested' home club that has the No. 1 ranked offense and the No. 5 ranked defense. The Cardinals sacked Aaron Rogers eight times the first time around and I'm sure the 'Pack' will make some adjustments. The visitor is 1-5 both straight-up and ATS in the last six meetings and the Cardinals are 11-4 ATS after a loss under Bruce Arians. The last time they met they hung the same total (50) and the game went under. This time every possession counts and two great quarterbacks will shoot it out! Take ARIZONA Â |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Knicks +4 v. Grizzlies | 95-103 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
New York at Memphis 8:30 ET Knicks (+) over Grizzlies- The big question here is the availability and effectiveness of Carmelo Anthony as a twisted ankle has the New York scorer a game-time decision. I don't think it will matter, more of the Knicks players will be able to handle the ball and that suites Porzingis' style. The Knicks are 0-3 without Anthony but the Grizzlies will be without point guard Mike Conley. The Knicks are a game under the break-even point which is 'way good' for them. Take NEW YORK! Â |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Warriors v. Pistons +7 | Top | 95-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
Golden State at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (+) over Warriors- The bloom was off the rose but it was just a peddle as the Warriors suffered their third loss of the season Wednesday at Denver with a win over the Lakers. The Pistons meanwhile are off a heartbreaking 103-101 loss at Memphis. Word is that Golden State has become a 'little sluggish' and are just not at the same level as a month ago. Pesky injuries are starting to slow the Warriors down from Barnes, to Curry and Green they are playing 'banged-up.' The Pistons have been lights-out at home going 13-6 straight-up and 13-5-1 ATS. The are also 14-2-1 ATS at home with same season revenge. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Chiefs v. Patriots -4 | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 24 h 57 m | Show | |
AFC Division Playoffs- Saturday 4:35 ET Kansas City at New England Patriots (-) over Chiefs- Kansas City comes rolling into Gillette Stadium with 11 straight wins while the Division Champion Patriots hunker down after losses in their last two against the Jets and Dolphins. The Chiefs dominated an undermanned Texans club and shut them out 30-0 and that spells trouble for Kansas City because of what comes after because NFL Playoff teams that win 27-0 or better are 0-5 ATS the next time out. Plus and the Patriots side is the fact that rested home teams off two loses are 7-0 ATS in the last 26 years. Brady and crew will 'circle the wagons' and win here. I expect a real slugfest where each side believe every snap is to be protected. Both sides will be conservative. Take NEW ENGLAND |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Seton Hall +6.5 v. Providence | 81-72 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
Seton Hall at Providence 4:30 ET Pirates (+) over Friars- No. 12 Providence has a big week ahead after Seton Hall leaves town as they will host No. 23 Butler and No. 8 Xavier and then visit No. 7 Villanova, with all that glitter in front of them they will have difficulty getting focused on the Pirates this afternoon. The 'Hall' enter this contest off two straight Big East losses after opening conference play with two wins while the Friars are 3-1with their loss coming at Creighton. This time they sneak-up on the Friars. Take SETON HALL! Â Â |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Iowa State v. Kansas State +1.5 | Top | 76-63 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
Iowa State at Kansas State 4:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Cyclones- There are some trends that might be difficult to comprehend as Iowa State is 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games and come in off two losses and three straight 'non-covers' have lost three straight before beating Texas Tech with four straight covers and K.State is 9-3 75% ATS in their last 12 home games. What does it all mean you ask and I often wonder because this is not an 'exact science' but I love it! Take KANSAS STATE! Â |
|||||||
01-16-16 | Miami (Fla) -4 v. Clemson | 65-76 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 59 m | Show | |
Miami at Clemson 2:00 ET Hurricanes (-) over Tigers- The 'Red-hot' Clemson Tigers have won four-in-a-row including wins over Duke and Louisville. Miami just had their eight-game win streak stopped at Virginia Tuesday night. Not like football, this Miami-FL club knows how to win. The Hurricanes are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games overall and 43-21-4 ATS in their last 48 on Saturdays. To close the deal they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take the HURRICANES! Â |
|||||||
01-15-16 | Evansville -4 v. Illinois State | 66-55 | Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Evansville at Illinois State 9:00 ET Aces (+) over Redbirds- The Aces dropped all three contests against Illinois State last season once here (77-51) once at home and once in the Conference tournament. It is rare for one school to defeat another in three meetings in one season and Evansville has 'triple-revenge' and have won their last two and 3-of-4 on the road. The Redbirds have struggled at 9-9 but are 7-2 straight-up at home. Despite last season's three losses to Illinois State the Aces are 23-11-2 ATS in the series and 11-4-1 at Redbird Arena and convert here again. Take EVANSVILLE! Â |
|||||||
01-15-16 | Heat v. Nuggets +2.5 | Top | 98-95 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
Miami at Denver 9:05 ET Nuggets (+) over Heat- The Denver Nuggets not only handed the Golden State Warriors their third loss of the season on Wednesday 112-110 but have now won three-of-four. Miami who plays 14 of 16 games on the road have dropped their last three and are off a 104-90 loss to the L.A. Clippers on Wednesday when the committed 24 turnovers. The Heat are without point guard Goran Dragic who was injured Monday against the Warriors. Play the hot hand here as Nuggets' forward Danilo Gallinari has scored 20 or more points in six straight games. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
01-15-16 | Hornets +2.5 v. Pelicans | 107-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Charlotte at New Orleans 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Pelicans- We 'used' the Hornets on Wednesday when they ended their seven-game losing streak with a 107-84 win over Atlanta while New Orleans defeated the Kings in Sacramento ending a four-game losing streak. Charlotte has started to play better defense which is the key to them winning. New Orleans after making the playoffs on the final day last season has been terribly inconsistent are are just 7-9 at home. Take the HORNETS! |
|||||||
01-14-16 | BYU +7 v. Gonzaga | 69-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Brigham Young at Gonzaga 9:00 ET Cougars (+) over Bulldogs- The Bulldogs surely remember the last time that they saw BYU here as the Cougars ended Gonzaga's 410game home winning streak and upset the then 21st ranked club. Currently, Gonzaga is 5-0 in West Coast Conference play as they seek their eighth straight while BYU has won their last three. The Bulldogs lost their dominating center in Przemek Karnoski who is out with season-ending back injury and he will be missed as the season wears on. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |
|||||||
01-14-16 | Pittsburgh v. Louisville -7.5 | Top | 41-59 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Louisville 9:00 ET Cardinals (-) over Panthers- Pittsburgh is 14-1 including 3-0 in ACC play their best start in seven years. The Panthers are on a 10-game winning streak but have yet to defeat a ranked school. Louisville has won 11 straight at home but have dropped two-of-three to Clemson and Kentucky while Pittsburgh is off a win at Notre Dame. The Cardinals three losses have come by a total 10 points and own the nation's best scoring margin (+23.1) using defense and rebound as their key. Take LOUISVILLE! |
|||||||
01-14-16 | Pistons +1.5 v. Grizzlies | 101-103 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Detroit at Memphis 8:00 ET Pistons (+) over Grizzlies- The Pistons have to be considered the most improved team in the league along with the Knicks as they are 21-17 and that places them above Memphis in the overall NBA seeding. Detroit who has lost 11 of the past 12 meetings thought that they had the Grizzlies beat in Detroit when Matt Barns hit a half-court shot at the buzzer for a 93-92 win. Memphis is having some internal problems while Detroit is all Andre Drummond on the inside but has to improve his free throws (just 6-of-33). Take PISTONS! |
|||||||
01-14-16 | Connecticut v. Tulsa +1 | Top | 51-60 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Connecticut at Tulsa 7:00 ET Golden Hurricanes (+) over Huskies- Connecticut dropped out of the Top-25 after a home loss to Temple last week as they shot a season low 31.6 percent and scored just 53 points. Tulsa dropped their first to AAC games then bounced back with wins over East Carolina and Tulane. The Golden Hurricanes defeated the Huskies one of the three times the clubs met while hosting the Huskies 66-58 a year ago yesterday and I see it happening again as Connecticut is without their 'big-man' Amidad Brimah. Take TULSA! |
|||||||
01-13-16 | USC +3 v. UCLA | Top | 89-75 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
Southern California at UCLA 11:00 ET Trojans (+) over Bruins- Both these cubs are off victories against No. 6 Arizona last weekend as the Bruins won on a three-pointer at the buzzer by Bryce Alford and the Trojans withstood four overtimes to beat the Wildcats. USC really showed me something in their win as the survived four chance to lose to the better team but there perseverance won out. UCLA has won the last six in this series and have won nine straight at home since their opening loss to Monmouth. The Trojans have a pair of point guards that will dazzle Alford. Take SOUTHERN CAL! |
|||||||
01-13-16 | Jazz +2.5 v. Blazers | Top | 85-99 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
Utah at Portland 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Trailblazers- I am very interested in the final result of this contest as Portland is such a meager favorite against a Utah team that is 6-12 on the road. Then I realize that the Trailblazers have won seven of the last 10 meetings and I become even more confused. The Jazz have the addition of Center Rudy Gobert who has returned the past three games after a long sit on the sidelines. Utah had dropped seven consecutive road games until their win over the Lakers in Los Angeles on Sunday. This 'number' is way too shy. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
01-13-16 | Florida State +2 v. NC State | 85-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
Florida State at N.C. State 9:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Wolfpack- Neither of these clubs has yet to post an ACC win (0-3) they difference is that NC State is playing close losing by an average 4.3 points while the Seminoles have lost by an average 13 points. Florida State has a young squad that is led by a pair of freshman guards Dwayne Bacon and Malik Beasley who are they top scoring rookies in the ACC. The odds-maker is giving the Wolfpack no respect here so why should I. Take FLORIDA STATE! Â |
|||||||
01-13-16 | Knicks v. Nets +3 | 104-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
New York at Brooklyn 7:35 ET Nets (+) over Knicks- The New York Knicks are starting to repp the rewards from a 19-year-old first round draft pick as Kristaps Porzingis is emerging as a true NBA star in his rookie season. Last night he posted 26 points in 27 minutes before fouling out against the Celtics in their 120-114 win. Brooklyn meanwhile has lost their last five games and 10 straight at Barkley Center where they haven't won since beating Philadelphia on December 10. But, this line is too inviting if you like the Knicks. I think the powers that be are looking for a Nets upset. So I'll take 'em. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
01-13-16 | Hawks v. Hornets +3 | 84-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Hawks- Last season the Hawks were the NO. 1 seed in the East as they accumulated the most wins in the conference. This year they are been in an out to say the least, why in their last six games they had three wins where they averaged 122.3 points and three losses where they scored just 95 points per game. The Hornets dropped both meetings to date this season by a grand margin of five points. Charlotte is off an 0-4 road trip and have now lost seven straight and 12-of-15. The sight of Time Warner Cable Arena will be a welcome sight. Take the HORNETS! |
|||||||
01-13-16 | Tennessee v. Georgia -5.5 | 72-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Georgia 7:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Volunteers- These two clubs will most likely end-up in the middle of the SEC pack before it is all said and done as they both started 1-2 in conference play. Tennessee may be a little down after the way they blew a lead down the stretch at home against Texas A&M and now they travel for their fourth true road games where they are winless (0-3). Georgia lost a buzzer beater 72-71 at Mississippi but return home and will be led by Center Yante Maten who is consistently scoring in the 20's (7-of-10 games). Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
01-12-16 | Iowa State v. Texas +2 | 91-94 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Iowa State at Texas 9:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Cyclones- Both these clubs are off shocking losses as Texas fell at TCU 58-57 Saturday and the Cyclones lost at home to Baylor 94-89, losing for just the second time in 32 home games. The Longhorns dropped all three contests last season to Iowa State as well as four of the last five but now under Shaka Smart they look to win in his first meeting against the Cyclones.

01-11-16 | Alabama v. Clemson +7 | Top | 45-40 | Win | 100 | 35 h 52 m | Show |
National Championship Alabama vs Clemson Clemson (+) over Crimson Tide- I've been riding the high wave of the Crimson Tide since they lost to Mississippi (a game they out-gained the Rebels by over 200 yards) and had them as a Vegas Insider 'Guaranteed' winner against Michigan State. But, this is a different animal in the Clemson Tigers. The Tigers have speed that the Spartans did not possess and a mobile quarterback that can and does cause great defenses problems. I understand that Alabama will have a practice advantage because of classes scheduled after the Championship Game is played but Clemson has been together for six months and know how to get ready. I expect this one to go done to the final gun. Take CLEMSON! |

Washington meanwhile, has lost five of seven but stopped a three-game losing streak with a 105-99 win over Orlando on Saturday. The Wizards John Wall has picked up some of the slack let by injured guard Bradley Beal who will be back in a week or so. Chicago coach Fred Hoiberg his club the 'riot-act' as he saw his teams lack of hustle in their defeat. The return of Derrick (The Hoax) Rose has helped and with this added depth the Bulls garner the edge. Take CHICAGO! |

Stanford leads the all-time series 91-49 but these two have split the last four meetings. Stanford comes in after defeating Oregon State who the Ducks fell to earlier in the week.

McCollum (their 2nd leading scorer) on the active list.

Villanova at Butler 7:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- This is a big game for Butler as they 1-2 in Big East play and must face the conference power-house Villanova who they have never beaten (0-6). The Bulldogs have one of the toughest home-floor advantage where they are 7-1 straight-up. The Wildcats enter this contest with five straight wins while Butler broke a short two-game losing streak with a win over DePaul on Tuesday and have had plenty of rest and time to prepare for No. 13 Villanova. This time the Bulldogs break through. Take BUTLER! Â |

Dallas at Minnesota 3:35 ET Timberwolves (+) over Mavericks- The Mavericks 'rested' four starters in New Orleans and came away with a victory in New Orleans on Wednesday and then laid an egg with their starters in Milwaukee on Friday losing 96-95. Minnesota is still young and has dropped 17 of their last 21 games after an 8-8 start but with the improvement of rookie center Karl-Anthony Towns and second year man Andrew Wiggins they are playing better. With Oklahoma City, Chicago and San Antonio on deck the Mavericks might get caught looking past the Timberwolves, a mistake here. Take MINNESOTA! |

01-10-16 | Packers +1 v. Redskins | 35-18 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
NFC Wild Card Green Bay at Washington 4:40 ET Packers over Redskins- Talk about a tough one to call, this is it. My first impression was to take Green Bay after having dropped their last two regular season games against the Redskins club that has won four straight. The trends for this kind of match-up are heavy on the Packers. The biggest one tells me that teams that won four games or less the previous season are 2-15 straight-up and 1-16 ATS in their first playoff game. Plus playoff teams that won their final game of the year as an underdog are 10-15 ATS in their first playoff encounter. Take GREEN BAY! |

Ohio State at Indiana 1:30 ET Hoosiers (-) over Buckeyes- Two clubs that are undefeated in Big-Ten play (3-0) clash in Assembly Hall where they are 9-0 this season. Indiana has won their last eight while Ohio State has won their last seven. The Hoosiers are second in the country in field-goal percentage, fourth in 3-point percentage (45%) and ninth in scoring offense 86 points per game while holding opponents to 59 points on 34.6 percent shooting. Indiana's center Thomas Bryant has made 73% of his field goal attempts (73-of-100). Look for the Hoosiers high-powered offense to be the difference here. Take INDIANA! |

NFC Wild Card Seattle at Minnesota 1:05 Vikings (+) over Seahawks- The 'Beast Mode' may be back and the Seahawks who destroyed the Vikings 38-7 in Minnesota a five weeks when the only Vikings score came on a kick-off return. But, now there is a different feeling in Minneapolis as they are Division Champions and Seattle is the Wild Card team trying to make it back to the Super Bowl for the third straight season. Minny has had the best point spread record in the NFL this season winning 13 of 16 against the points. This time around it's MINNESOTA! |

Miami at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Heat- Miami opened their six-game western swing with a win at Phoenix last night but the way the Suns are going of late I wouldn't put much stock in that. The Heat have beat-up on teams from the West going 11-2 but for the most part those were games played at home where they are 15-8 and now it's payback time as they are on the road. This game is being played in 'high altitude and the Heat will have no rest. Rudy Gobert is back for Utah and he makes a difference in the middle. Take the JAZZ! |

01-09-16 | Steelers v. Bengals +3 | 18-16 | Win | 100 | 26 h 15 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati Bengals (+) over Steelers- We are all aware that Cincinnati hasn't won a playoff since well before the Detroit Lions (honest) and that Andy Dalton may still be side-lined. So here is A.J. McCarron thrown into the 'big-game' fray and everyone is waiting to see if he can handle the pressure. Well, I'll tell you he can handle it if Marvin Lewis lets him. Against Denver two weeks ago he came out strong and it was only because of Lewis' loser mentality did the Bengals blow a 17-0 to Denver as Lewis became afraid to win. McCarron is a winner and has proven it before and my ignore Lewis when it counts. Take the BENGALS! |

Washington at Orlando 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Magic- Orlando might be just what the Wizards need as they dropped their fifth in six tries last night and tonight are facing a club that they have already beaten three times this season and 11 straight overall. Part of Washington struggles are that they just can't seem to get over the hump without Bradley Beal who possibly will be back tonight of monday after missing 14 games with a stress fracture in his right leg. The 'Wiz' are 12-5-1 ATS against the Magic and get it done once again. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-09-16 | Arizona State +5 v. UCLA | 74-81 | Loss | -106 | 18 h 34 m | Show | |
Arizona State at UCLA 5:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Bruins- We had the winner with UCLA over Arizona Thursday night while ASU was getting pounded at Southern Cal 75-65 which dropped their conference record to 0-2. With Bryce Alford (Coach Steve's son) hitting a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left to defeat the Wildcats you would have thought the Bruins had won the National Championship but it was just their first PAC-12 win after an 0-2 start. UCLA has defeated Temple, Kentucky and Gonzaga and now Arizona but they have difficulty with anybody that isn't high profile. The trends all point toward UCLA but my gut tells me something else. UCLA is 11-5 in their last 16 PAC-12 games, the home team is 9-2-1 ATS and ASU is just 2-5-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but I can't get that celebration out of my head. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

Kansas City at Houston Texans (+) over Chiefs- Kansas City come rolling into Houston having won 10 straight and have a plus 14 turnover advantage. The Texans who post opening day to the Chiefs 27-20 felt behind 21-0 in the second quarter as Brian Hoyer's first pas of the season was intercepted and was eventually benched for the now departed Ryan Mallett in the fourth quarter. Alex Smith has had his best year yet but will be up against a defense that has not allowed a touchdown in the last nine quarters. In a slugfest it looks like the home team to me. Take HOUSTON! |

LSU at Florida 1:30 ET Gators (-) over Tigers- LSU who started slow this season are off a huge upset of No. 8 Kentucky and are now 2-0 in SEC play while the Gators are off a bad loss at Tennessee. The Tigers of course have the nation's #1 player in Ben Simmons who is expected to go to the NBA after his freshman season. LSU defeated Florida twice last season and now travel to Gainesville after their home upset win and they are 1-4 away from home. This game matches the SEC's top scoring offense (84.3) against the Conference's top defense (63.5) and defense will rule here. Finally, SEC teams after defeating Kentucky are 4-14 ATS next time out.

Even though Vols coach Rick Barnes was 23-7 over Texas A&M while at Texas the Aggies have won the last three in this series and five straight overall. They are also 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games while Tennessee is 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 home games.

Although Colorado leads the all-time series 26-17 Utah swept the series last year and has won four of the last six meetings. The Utes have registered huge wins over Duke, Texas Tech and Temple all on neutral site but are seeking their first win in a true road game and they will get it here led by the PAC-12's top center 7-foot Jakob Poeltl. The Utes are first in the conference field goal percentage and will prevail here. Take UTAH! Â |

Indiana at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Pacers- The Pacers have won the last eight meeting against New Orleans but are playing their three game in four on the road while the Pelicans despite their poor record does have home wins over San Antonio and Cleveland so they are capable. Indiana is off a win at Orlando but had lost six of their previous nine while New Orleans lost to Dallas at home last time out while the Mavericks rested four starters. This time out you will get a complete effort out of the Pelicans. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Arizona at UCLA 9:00 ET Bruins (+) over Wildcats- UCLA coach Steve Alford called his team 'defensively soft after their loss to Washington State Sunday night as the Bruins open the PAC-12 0-2 and just 9-6 overall despite wins over Kentucky and Gonzaga. No. 6 ranked Arizona swept both meetings last season including a PAC-12 tournament win but failed to 'cover' in either victory. The Bruins are just 4-10 ATS this year but a lead by the coaches' son Bryce Alford who averages 16.9points but has struggled the past four games. Look for Alford (the player) to pick up the slack as the Bruins get the money. Take UCLA! Â |

Boston at Chicago 8:00 ET Celtics (+) over Bulls- The Bulls are in the mist of their longest winning streak of the season winning their last five and 10 of their last 14. Boston who is 6-7 since their last meeting with Chicago (a 105-100 win) a month ago is off a brutal loss to the Pistons last night when they blew a 13-point fourth quarter lead suffering their third straight home loss. Boston is 5-2 in the second of back-to-back contests and will work hard to atone for last night's let-down. Take the CELTICS! |

Notre Dame at Boston College 7:00 ET Fighting Irish (-) over Eagles- Notre Dame was totally out-classed in their ACC opener by No. 5 Virginia as they fell 77-66. Irish coach Mike Brey felt that the Cavaliers experience was the key factor in that contest but they will not be confronted with that tonight as Boston College has nine freshman, six of which see plenty of playing time. Notre Dame has won five straight in this series and nine of the last 10 between these former Big East foes. The Irish experience and depth will spell the difference down the stretch. Take NOTRE DAME!

Michigan at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (-) over Wolverines- Purdue will be hosting the Wolverines at home for the second straight season tonight and they won 64-51 as a small favorite last season and will more then likely win again this season. The Boilermakers dropped their last outing at home to Iowa 70-63 their first loss in their last 15 games at home and will look to rebound (note how I slipped then in) here despite Michigan willing three of the last four at Mackey Arena but their top player guard Caris LeVert who leads the team in scoring (17.6), rebounds (5.4)and assists (5.2) per game is questionable. This time they don't. Take PURDUE! Â |

Last time out on Saturday Los Angeles run off the 76ers 130-99 as they produced their highest point total of the season. Portland once again has the services of Damian Lillard and if he returns to form Portland can cause problems for the Clippers tonight. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! Â |

The Thunder have already crushed Memphis once this season (125-88) and that was with a healthy Durant. Look for the Grizzlies to get some measure of revenge here. Take MEMPHIS! Â |

The Magic closed December with a flurry winning seven of their final nine games and the Pacers may be without guards George Hill and C.J. Miles. Indiana has won the last five meetings and 13 of the past 15 meetings including a home 97-84 win in early November but come up a very short favorite here. I believe that trend will change here.

The Commodores have good defensive number but without 7-1 Luke Hornet their stats are taking a hit as they surrendered 90 points to LSU. Arkansas is led by Moses Kingsley who leads the club is scoring with 16.5 points on 55.6 % shooting, 10.1 rebounds and an SEC best 2.7 blocks per game. Without Hornet Vandy has no answer.

The Mavs have dropped their last two and have been up-and-down all season. DeMarcus Cousins has been the catalyst for the Kings and has found peace with coach George Karl. Take SACRAMENTO! Â |

New York Knicks at Atlanta 8:00 ET Hawks (-) over Knicks- A turn-around game where the Hawks will look to get a measure of revenge after losing to New York 111-97 (Megabucks winner) at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. In that contest Knicks guard Arron Afflalo hit 14-of-17 shots and 7-of-8 from 3-point range. Atlanta Coach Mike Budenholzer assured the media that he 'won't do it again at Phillips Arena. I agree, that combined with Hawks sharp shooter Kevin Kover looks to snap out of his slump going 2-for-27 from the floor (1-of-24 from 3-point range) and in the comforts of familiar surrounding I believe he will. The Hawks already have a home win over the Knicks on December 26 117-98 and I expect more of the same here. Take ATLANTA! |

Milwaukee meanwhile is off a beating at the hands of San Antonio at home after two road wins and are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games.

Oklahoma State at Baylor 8:00 ET Bears (-) over Cowboys- Baylor get a taste of what 'Big-time' basketball is all about last time out as they were routed by Kansas. Last season in the lone meetings in Waco Oklahoma State jumped out to an early lead and never let up in a 74-65 win. This year look for Baylor to control the boards and the ball with Rico Gathers who is averaging more then 11 rebounds per contest. The Cowboys will be without Phil Ford and it just leaves too big a hole for them to fill. (Ha) Take BAYLOR! |

Virginia Commonwealth at St. Joseph's 7:00 ET Rams (+) over Hawks- Both teams enter tonight's contest on winning streaks as VCU has won their last four and St. Joe's streak is now at seven straight winners. It's surprising to 'us' as both clubs are weak shooters from the field with the Hawks below 43% and the Rams also below 43% at 42.5. In their only meeting last season the Rams crushed St. Joe's at home winning 89-74. Even though the Hawks have a better record and three less loses VCU is just better. Take the RAMS! |

Virginia has won nine of the last 10 meetings and leads the overall series 88-53. 'We' used Tech on Saturday and the rewarded 'us' with a 73-68 overtime win against N.C. State on Saturday. That makes the Hokies 1-0 in ACC pay and it's the first time since joining the conference in 2004 that theu have won their ACC opener. Take the CAVALIERS! Â Â |

Minnesota at Philadelphia 7:05 ET 76ers (+) over Timberwolves- The call is 'Break-up the 76ers' as the lowly cellar dwelling club has won two of their last five on the road to raise their season record to 3-33. Minnesota meanwhile is having problems of their own as they have dropped their last two and five of their last six and are now 10 games under .500 (12-22). It appears that the hire of Mike DiAntoni and bringing in Jerry Conlangelo is having a positive effect. Jahlil Okafor is working his way back off the bench as Philly is improving and can win here.

North Carolina at Florida State 7:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Tar Heels- After a slow start No. 8 North Carolina has reeled off six straight wins and is 2-0 in ACC play. Florida State is 0-1 in ACC play and they had their six game winning streak stopped as they lost 84-75 to Clemson, one of the bottom tier clubs in the Conference who beat them 84-75. The Tar Heels are 13-2 with both losses have occurred in their only two road games at Texas and Northern Iowa while Florida State is 5-0 straight-up at home. Take the SEMINOLES! |

01-03-16 | Colorado +2 v. Stanford | 56-55 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Colorado at Stanford 10:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Cardinal- Stanford came up big for 'us' win a win over No. 22 Utah on Friday night as a 5-point dog winning outright 70-68 in overtime and that was an emotional victory. Colorado is off a loss at California when they shot a season low 32 percent in their 79-65 loss. The Cardinal are 6-1 since losing three straight and will have their work cut out for themselves against the 11-3 Buffaloes. Stanford who is without guard Robert Cartwright and Reid Travis will struggle against Colorado who has won the last four meetings. Look for a turn around for Colorado and a letdown by the Cardinal. Take the BUFFALOES! Â |

01-03-16 | Vikings +3 v. Packers | 20-13 | Win | 105 | 31 h 6 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Green Bay 8:30 ET Vikings (+) over Packers- After that performance out of the Packers last week in Arizona most are expecting Green Bay to bounce-back with a huge effort. But, obviously the book-maker doesn't agree. I mean where is the 'Pack' who pounded the Vikings in Minnesota a few weeks ago coming up just a 3-point favorite at home and the masses will most likely just on the home team here. From what I saw the Packers have been exposed and haven't played well since week six when they entered 6-0 and left with a loss at Denver 29-10. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
01-03-16 | Utah +3 v. California | 58-71 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Utah at California 7:30 ET Utes (+) over Golden Bears- California and Utah both enter this contest at 11-3 with the Golden Bears off a big win over Colorado Friday night while Utah fell at Stanford in overtime after shooting 46 percent from the foul line. Tonight the Utes will be more fundamentally sound as they look to defeat Cal for the fourth straight time. The Golden Bears will have trouble with 7-foot center Jakob Poeltl who is becoming the most powerful force in the PAC-12. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
01-03-16 | Oregon v. Oregon State +2 | 57-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Oregon at Oregon State 7:00 ET Beavers (+) over Ducks- Oregon State hasn't made the 'Big Dance in 25 years when they were lead by NBA Hall of Fame guard Gary Payton and this season they believe they will get their with five returning starters including Gary Payton II as they look for their best start since 1984-85. The Beavers will have the services of Daniel Gomes who returns from a broken hand. Payton is much like his father as he is the reigning PAC-12 Defensive Player of the Year and leads the team in scoring (16.8), rebounding (8.2), assists (5.0) and steals (2.5). The Beavers also have a coaches son on the floor with Tres Tinkle and will be a big help with basketball smarts. Take OREGON STATE! Â |

01-03-16 | Seahawks v. Cardinals -6 | 36-6 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 58 m | Show | |
Seattle at Arizona 4:25 ET Cardinals (-) over Seahawks- We saw the Cardinals running on all cylinders last week against Green Bay and with a win here they can possibility gain home field through out the playoff with a little help form Tampa Bay. Seattle is having problems at running back and are 'locked-in' to their playoff position and will just try and stay healthy here. The Cardinals will go for it all here. Take ARIZONA! |

01-03-16 | Rams v. 49ers +3.5 | 16-19 | Win | 100 | 27 h 54 m | Show | |
St. Louis at San Francisco 4:25 ET 49ers (+) over Rams- I just love the way this one sets up. St. Louis has won three straight including a huge road win at Seattle last week and they are 1-5 ATS after playing the Seahawks. Now they go to San Francisco who they handled easily 27-6 back in October while the Niners are 6-1 ATS at home against teams with a losing record. After factor that effects the Rams is that they are 0-8 straight-up in their final game of the season the last eight years. Take SAN FRANCISCO! Â |

01-03-16 | Hawks v. Knicks +5.5 | Top | 97-111 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show |
Atlanta at New York 3:30 ET Knicks (+) over Hawks- The Knicks took a 77-73 lead into the fourth quarter against the Bulls Friday night and then fell apart by shooting just 2-of-19 in the final stanza getting out scored 31-8. New York has now dropped five of their last six but are still one of the most improved team in the NBA this year. Atlanta meanwhile has won seven of heir last eight and have defeated the Knicks the two meetings by an average 15 points. Each of the Knicks last four losses have come of the road and the Garden will be a welcome site this afternoon. Take the KNICKS! |

01-03-16 | Jets v. Bills +2.5 | Top | 17-22 | Win | 100 | 24 h 51 m | Show |
New York Jets at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bulls (+) over Jets- Last week we used the Jets in this spot as 'out' top-play and we were rewarded as New York over-came a late gaff and won in over time over the Patriots. Rex Ryan who already defeated the Jets in New York on a Thursday night would love nothing better then wreck New York's playoff dreams and will have his penalty leading Bills flying all over the field. The pressure will get to the Jets here as Buffalo already out of the playoffs has nothing to lose. Take the BILLS! Â |

01-03-16 | Redskins v. Cowboys -3.5 | 34-23 | Loss | -113 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
Washington at Dallas 1:00 ET Cowboys (-) over Redskins- How can this be? The Cowboys who can't best their meat are favored over the division winners. There can only be one explanation and that if that the Redskins are going to lay down here. It happens every year at this time as one club is 'locked-in' and the other will be coming to play. We see that Washington is 0-5 straight-up and 1-4 ATS after facing the Eagles and coming off that convincing division clinching win I see a letdown. Take DALLAS! Â |
|||||||
01-02-16 | Pelicans +3 v. Mavs | Top | 105-98 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show |
New Orleans at Dallas 8:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Mavericks- The Mavericks who defeated the Curry-less Golden State Warriors handing them only their second loss of the season have fallen since then but welcome New Orleans into town. Dallas has won five straight at home and have defeated the Pelicans six straight times as hosts. The Mavericks has their four-game winning streak snapped by Miami Friday and have a huge advantage over New Orleans who are just 3-15 on the road. This two have split home wins this season against each other but this time the 'numbers' say take the Pelicans. NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
01-02-16 | Rockets v. Spurs -11.5 | 103-121 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Houston at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Rockets- On Christmas Day we posted the Rockets over the Spurs and they responded with a convincing win to hand San Antonio their only loss in the past three weeks. The Spurs are 19-0 at home and have won their last 28 games as hosts. The Rockets win on Christmas Day was the only victory over their state rivals in the past 11 meetings. Houston has no heart and too many huge egos to compete here. Take the SPURS! Â |

Maryland at Northwestern 8:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Terrapins- Two of the top teams in the Big-Ten will meet is Welsh-Ryan Arena Saturday night when No. 4 Maryland (12-1) plays Northwestern (13-1). The Wildcats have won 10 straight including a win at Nebraska this week while the Terrapins have won their last six.

Maryland is No. 4 in the country in shooting percentage (51.7) while Northwestern holds opponents to 37.8 percent shooting (15th nationally). At home defense rules. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

01-02-16 | Pistons +4.5 v. Pacers | 82-94 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Detroit at Indiana 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Pacers- These two have already split two meetings this season with each club holding serve and winning at home. The Pacers have dropped their last two and will be facing an improved Pistons' club that will have point guard Brandon Jennings returning. Indiana has been very inconsistent with games where their effort can be questioned while Detroit seems to put forth a professional effort every time out. Look for the Pistons to continue their fine play and get the money here. Take DETROIT! Â Â |

01-02-16 | Indiana v. Nebraska +5 | 79-69 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
Indiana at Nebraska 4:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Hoosiers- Indiana won their conference opener on the road at Rutgers while Nebraska lost at home in their opener to Northwestern. The Cornhuskers had a 12-point lead in the second half against the Wildcats but were killed on the boards as they were out-rebounded 40-25 by Northwestern. Meanwhile, Indiana used an 11-0 run in the second half to put away Rutgers and tis time the rolls will reverse themselves. At home take NEBRASKA! |

01-02-16 | Kansas State v. Arkansas -12.5 | 23-45 | Win | 100 | 17 h 3 m | Show | |
Liberty Bowl Jan. 2, 2016 3:20 ET Kansas State vs Arkansas Razorbacks (-) over Wildcats- It is usually not recommend that one lays double-digits in a bowl game as both teams are of some quality having qualified for post season play. The trends for both teams are not favorable as Kansas State is 2-7 straight-ip and 1-8 ATS in their last nine bowl appearances and Arkansas is 0-8 straight-up and 1-7 ATS in their last eight bowl games when playing off a win. Arkansas started the season slow winning just two of their first six and then won the rest except for a 51-50 loss to Mississippi State. The Wildcats have surrendered over 30-points per game and won't be able to stop the Razorback attack. Take ARKANSAS! |

01-02-16 | NC State v. Virginia Tech +1.5 | 68-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
N.C. State at Virginia Tech 2:00 ET Hokies (+) over Wolfpack- This is the ACC opener for both squads as N.C. State enters this contest having won their last six and with ACC leading scorer (23.1) and third ranking assist (5.2) man in guard Anthony Barber. Virginia Tech meanwhile has lost two-in-a-row the last of while was a beating at the hands of rival West Virginia on Wednesday committing 22 turnovers. The Wolfpack have won the last five meetings and lead the overall series 39-14. This time the Hokies respond. Take VIRGINIA TECH! Â |

01-02-16 | Penn State +6.5 v. Georgia | Top | 17-24 | Loss | -103 | 14 h 33 m | Show |
Taxslayer Bowl Jan., 2, 2016 12:00 ET Penn State vs Georgia Nittany Lions (+ over) Bulldogs- Well, the Georgia 'faithful' got their wish as Mark Richt is now longer leading the Bulldogs but like the axiom says 'Be careful of what you wish for.' They will be led by interim head coach Bryan McClendon but Kirby Smart will take over after the final gun. Penn State which struggled offensively the past two seasons are led quarterback Christian Hackenberg and running back Saquon Barley who rushed for over 1,000 yards. Georgia of course lost the focal point of their offense when Nick Chubb when down in October and the Bulldogs haven'y been the same since. Penn State has lost their last three straight-up and ATS and teams entering bowl games like that are 11-3 ATS in their bowl games. Somehow, with the points the Lions get it done. Take PENN STATE! Â |
