11-24-17 | Florida v. Gonzaga +3 | 111-105 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
PK 80 INVITATIONAL - Round 2 - Moda Center - Portland, OR The first ranked matchup of the Phil Knight Invitational comes between No. 7 Florida and No. 17 Gonzaga in the second round of the "Motion" bracket of the Phil Knight 80 Invitational on Friday. It's never easy for a east coast team to play out west, especially a team that resides in this part of the country. After watching Gonzaga (4-0) cruise in their its first-round game, and easily defeating Ohio State 86-59 its has become obvious to me that they are going to be a force to be reckoned with again this season, despite of the new faces. GONZAGA is 8-1 ATS L/9 versus very good shooting teams - making 48% or more of their shots. Play on Gonzaga to cover |

11-24-17 | Raptors -1.5 v. Pacers | 104-107 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
Toronto had won four in a row until a 41-10 third-quarter meltdown in Madison Square Garden last time out saw them go down to defeat by a 108-100 score. Nothing surprises me in the NBA anymore, and even consistent sides like the Raptors fall into these types of lapses. Today, however, I expect Canada's only NBA team to come back looking for redemption vs a Indiana side they matchup very well against. I know Indiana has won four in a row and surprised a couple of teams as underdogs, but tonight, they won't sneak up on anyone, and will have the full attention of their dangerous hosts. Toronto has  won nine of the last 11 meetings after taking two of three last season.Raptors are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Indiana. INDIANA is 1-12 ATS L/13 off 2 or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog .INDIANA is 9-22 ATS  L/31 off 2 or more consecutive upset wins as an underdog. NBA teams where the line is +3 to -3 like Indiana - off 2 or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 6-26 ATS L/21 seasons for a go against 81% conversion rate for bettors. NBA teams like Toronto - off an upset loss to a division rival as a favorite against opponent off 2 or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog are 26-6 ATS L/21 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.

11-24-17 | Hornets v. Cavs UNDER 220.5 | 99-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
The Hornets and the Cavaliers meet again at Friday in Cleveland. both teams are on winning streaks. The last time these two sides played each other 222 combined points went on the board in a 115 -107 Cleveland win. Controlling or at least slowing LeBron James is critical to holding down the explosiveness of the Cavaliers, and the Hornets I'm betting will focus their attention on him, and playing better overall defense on the whole especially here on the road behind the 12th ranked pace in the league .QUOTE: "His big, big nights, which he's had against us, it's going to be the fast-break baskets, the second-chance baskets and the cuts," Clifford said prior to Cleveland's 115-107 win over the Hornets on Nov. 15. "That's how he gets from, he's averaging 28, that's how he's going to get to 38. You know, if you do a good job on those, then you hope he gets 28. You control what you can control but again, the great, great ones, you've got to take those other easy ones away." END QUOTE: With that said, Cleveland has been playing fast and furious of late, but the old guys now will be on tired legs, as they play their 8th game in 13 days, and with Charlotte looking to slow this game down, I'm betting on point production output in this tilt to me more muted than what might expect. CHARLOTTE is 25-11 UNDER L/36 revenging a home loss vs opponent with a combined average of 200 ppg going on the board. NBA team like Charlotte - good 3PT shooting team (36.5% or better) against a poor 3PT defense (36.5% or less), dominant rebounding team (+5.5 reb/game or more ) against an average rebounding team (+/-3 reb/game) are 53-24 UNDER L/21 seasons for a 695 conversion rate for totals bettors.  NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 like Charlotte - after 3 or more consecutive wins against opponent after 4 or more consecutive wins are 39-9 UNDER L/5 seasons for 81% conversion rare for bettors. Play UNDER |

11-24-17 | Canucks v. Devils -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
The Devils are 3-3-4 since knocking off Vancouver 2-0 on Nov. 1 . Now they get another crack a team that they matchup well against. New Jersey G Cory Schneider is 5-1-2 against his former team and the Devils have won six straight overall versus the Canucks. I know the Canucks are off a big win last time out upsetting the Stanley Cup champs 5-2 on their own home ice. But now after that behemoth effort I'm betting the Canucks are in letdown mode. Note: Canucks are 7-26 in their last 33 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game and 1-4 on the moneyline off a win. Meanwhile, the Devils are 5-2 in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Play on the NJ Devils to win on the moneyline 1 unit reg selection |

11-24-17 | New Mexico +17.5 v. TCU | 67-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
EMERALD COAST CLASSIC - Semifinals - The Arena at NW FL ST - Niceville, FL New Mexico snagged the coach of New Mexico State in the off season Paul Weir. In his lone season a coach, he took the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament and procured a 28-6 record on the season. Weir has an unproven roster, and they are a wait and see type of program at the moment, but tonight on a neutral court I believe they run and gun Lobos are being underestimated in their ability to cover vs a TCU side, that according to my own power rankings should be a 10 point favorite at most . TCU is 2-9 ATS  L/11  vs. good free throw shooting teams - making 72% more of their attempts. NEW MEXICO is 35-19 ATS  L/54  in road games when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%).TCU is 4-13 ATS  L/17 after playing 2 consecutive home games and 14-28 ATS L/42  in road games after 3 or more consecutive wins .

11-24-17 | Winthrop +14.5 v. Auburn | 85-119 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Winthrop is a spoiler type team that finished 71st in RPI last season and made it the NCAA tournament. With a key player like Cooks in their lineup, this program will once again challenge for the Big South championship. Meanwhile, Auburn under Bruce Pearl remains a entertaining team, without actually making a run in post season play . The Tigers have talent, but the problem seems to be staying focused in the defensive end . That I'm betting will be their downfall tonight vs a feisty side. Play on Winthrop to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-24-17 | Western Carolina v. Texas-Arlington -15 | 65-89 | Win | 100 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
 Western Carolina is really over matched here , on paper and as far as talent goes. This is a mismatch of mammoth proportions and if anything Arlington is not a getting the respect they deserve. With that said, lay the points. TX-ARLINGTON is 11-3 ATS L/14 when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 20% to 40%).TX-ARLINGTON is 13-2 ATS L/15 when playing only their 3rd game in a week Neutral court teams as a favorite or pick Texas Arlington - off a close road loss by 3 points or less, in November games 31-9 ATS L/40 L/20 seasons for a 78% conversion rate.

11-24-17 | Loyola-Chicago v. NC-Wilmington +4 | 102-78 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
UNC Wilmington under new head coach  McGrath  and former assistant at North Carolina ( national champs) after mentoring under Roy Williams, brings instant creditability to this up trending side, that made it to the NCAA tourney last year. He changed up the Seahawks style of play but I'm pretty sure they will remain competitive in the Colonial. As far as today goes, their opponents Loyola Chicago are team with a good starting 5 , but lack depth , something Wilmington has. With that said, I'm recommending we take the points. Loyola Chicago HC Moser is 2-12 ATS  L/14 as a neutral court favorite or pick in all games. Play on NC Wilmington to cover |

11-24-17 | Iowa v. Nebraska +3.5 | 56-14 | Loss | -102 | 56 h 54 m | Show | |
HC Mike Riley is most likely on the way out of the door at Nebraska. However, the old ball coach has a little something left in his proverbial tank, and I'm betting he motivates his downtrodden team to a cover here at home, vs a Iowa football program, that looks to be living on their laurels of a recent upset win vs Ohio State. Since that monumental win the Hawkeyes have lost two straight and have been outscored by a combined 62-29 count. I know Nebraska has also lost two straight but in the past have proven resilient from a ATS standpoint cashing 13 of his L/14 after consecutive losses. NEBRASKA is 29-9 ATS L/38 after failing to cover the spread in 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games.NEBRASKA is 15-3 ATS L/18 after scoring and allowing 30 pts or more last game.NEBRASKA is 21-8 ATS  L/29 after allowing 325 or more passing yards in their last game.

11-24-17 | South Florida +11 v. Central Florida | 42-49 | Win | 100 | 78 h 12 m | Show | |
South Florida (9-1)  and UCF (10-0) according to my own power rankings and cross reference matchup systems are very evenly matched and  the point spread should be much closer to a one possession spread . With the pressure of staying undefeated a deterrent for UCF, this situation also offers up an opportunity for a strong dog to pull off what would not be a surprising upset. South Florida has conclusively beaten UCF in their L/2 meetings, and today I'm betting they get us the cover on a bloated line again. My own projections estimate that S.Florida will score between 22-28 points which is a good omen , considering the Bulls are 16-4 ATS L/20 in road games when they score 22 to 28 points. CFB Road underdogs like SOUTH FLORIDA - in a game involving two excellent rushing teams (4.8 YPR or more), after gaining 6 or more rushing yards/attempt last game are 87-37 L/10 seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors. CFB Road underdogs like SOUTH FLORIDA - after 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread, in a game involving two top-level teams ( 80% or better ) are 25-6 ATS L/10 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.

11-23-17 | Rider +3 v. Cal-Irvine | 90-82 | Win | 100 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
Rider is a team with a lot of size and despite of losing key scorers from last season remain a dangerous side behind a solid D, that plays differently than a lot of teams in the MAAC where they reside. UC Irvine plays a hard defensive type of basketball, but this Rider team is tough under glass and in the paint, and will over power UC Irvine . Note: Cal Irvines HC Turner is 14-30 ATS versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game. UC-IRVINE is 0-8 ATS  L/8 in a neutral court game where the total is 140 to 149.5 .

11-23-17 | Giants +7.5 v. Redskins | 10-20 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 19 m | Show | |
After watching a motivated  victory crumble  into a crushing overtime defeat Sunday at New Orleans, the Redskins come into this game in an emotional let down situation, and are now at a disadvantage vs a NY Giants team off a rousing OT win vs KC last week. Add to that the redskins are banged up , After placing four players on injured reserve Tuesday, and  will not even attempt a full practice before the game.  You can smell trouble brewing on the field for them this week. Look for Eli Manning and company who is  17-8 SU  as a starter against Washington to be a catalyst this week. He has completed 493 of 841 passes (59 percent) for 5,934 yards with 28 touchdowns and 23 interceptions vs. the Redskins.

The Redskins are 0-18 ATS L/18 as a FG-plus favorite when they are off a road game and facing a team that has forced 4.5 or fewer punts per game. Five of those 18 games were straight up wins , with only two coming by 3 points. The Giants are 14-0 ATS and 12-2 SU off a home game in which they rushed the ball at least ten more times than their season-to-date average. NFL Underdogs or pick like the Giants - after going under the total by more than 21 points in their previous game, struggling team, winning 25% or less of their games on the season are 50-23 ATS L/24 seasons for a 69% conversion rate for bettors.

This will be the Longhorns first real test of the season, after playing three fluffy games to start their season vs lower tier opposition.

Chargers HC Lynn, who played high school football at Texas small-town powerhouse Celina and college football at Texas Tech, said it's one of the two biggest days in the NFL season. So you can imagine how hopped up he is to be here and what a win would mean to him vs the banged up staggering Cowboys. Los Angeles has won four of its last six, and playing at a high level and must be respected here a short road favorites. Meanwhile, Dallas Star running back Ezekiel Elliott (suspension), All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith (back, groin) and the most important part  of the defense, linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring), are all out of the lineup making Dallas fade material today. LA CHARGERS is 8-1 ATS L/9 in road games after having lost 2 out of their last 3 games.DALLAS is 0-6 ATS   in home games after failing to cover the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games losing SU by an average of 10 ppg.

The Detroit Lions were the last team to beat the red hot Minnesota Vikings, back in in Minnesota on Oct 1 ( 14-7). The Lions matchup well against the Vikings according to my own power rankings, as Detroit is bidding for its third sweep of the season series in four years. I'm recommending we take the points with the home team here today on thanksgiving day. DETROIT is 8-1 ATSÂ L/9 in November games over the last few seasons.MINNESOTA is 26-43 ATSÂ L/69Â as a road favorite. The Lions are 12-0 ATS/SUÂ on turf when the line is within 3 of pick and they are off a win in which they had at least three times as many passing yards as rushing yards winning SU by an average of 9.17 ppg and covering by more than 8.79 ppg.

11-22-17 | Lakers -1 v. Kings | 102-113 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
The Lakers (8-10) enter into this tilt vs Sacramento off their second straight win. Last night  Los Angeles posted a 103-94 home victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday in a come from behind effort and very much look to be the superior team entering this tilt. Last night they controlled the boards , with a  54-39 rebounding advantage, and are currently ranked 4th in the NBA . thanks to those efforts the Lakers defensive rating, has them ranked 4th as well , as their top tier abilities fly under the radar of most pundits. Meanwhile, the Kings do not rebound well as is evident by giving up 7.8 more per game than their opponents, for last place in the  NBA. With Sacramento also expected to play its third straight game without second-leading scorer Buddy Hield (11.6 points per game), they are at a disadvantage tonight from multiple perspectives including their ability to outscore an opponent behind a lowly 93.2 points per game which is the worst output in the NBA. SACRAMENTO is 1-8 ATS  L/9 vs lower tier  defensive teams - allowing 106+ points/game this season (this is mostly because of their won lack of scoring power) NBA Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Lakers - with a winning percentage of between 40-49% on the season, in November games are 71-34 ATS L/5 seasons for a 68% conversion rate.

The Bulls and Jazz enter this game both struggling. Both are desperate for wins, and both I expect will play hard tonight. The Jazz have dropped eight of their past 10 games, including a 107-86 road loss against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday and without top tier center Rudy Gobert look like a key component has their usually well disciplined team  in disarray . Meanwhile, visiting  Chicago is 0-2 on a four-game trip after losing  by a 103-94 count to the Los Angeles Lakers last night. The Bulls threw away a 19-point second-half lead against the Lakers, which was embarrassing for them. Like the call from the French revolution, which said " Heads Will roll". That's exactly the situation now in Bulls land, and this group of players need to stand up and get some respect for themselves immediately . These are professionals that  know that this will have an adverse financial  effect on their careers going forward and how they are looked as players if they don't bounce  back and make amends for that ugly 2nd half effort last night. The Bulls won both of last season's meetings and have prevailed in three straight meetings and are my pick to cover here. Bulls are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest.Jazz are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.Jazz are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 vs. Eastern Conference.Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

The Coyotes are on  a three-game winning streak for the first time all season, but I'm betting that abruptly comes to end tonight vs the San Jose Sharks. After playing 12 of their L/15 games on the road, I'm sure the desert dogs will be happy to be home. However with that said, after spending that much time away, getting acclimated to there own digs may take a little time. Add to that home has not been so sweet for the Coyotes this season, as their 1-6-1 record as hosts would indicate and you have a recipe for catastrophic failure. Look for and expect Sharks Goaltender Martin Jones (8-5-1) with a 2.11 goals-against average and .926 save percentage to be key to the Sharks victory in this spot. Sharks are 20-7 in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

 Miami O under a new head coach former assistant at Purdue Jack Owens isa side I'm going to keep an eye on going forward. Just like his mentor at Purdue (Painter) hard work and top tier defense first basketball will be the name of the game. There are some decent hardworking seniors on board, and versatile group that is hard working blue collar types. Their a feisty crew and here as underdogs have merits that I can back on a DD underdog line. Meanwhile, Tulane -was a 6 win team last season, and played to that level, they are improving, but I'm not buying this 11 point line the odds makers have placed on this tilt.

The Senators enter this game in a funk and have lost three straight games, scoring three goals in the process. In their most recent tilt, they had a season-low 20 shots on goal in a 3-0 loss to the New York Rangers on Sunday and I'm betting things don't get much better here tonight vs their hosts the Washington Capitals.  In November at home, Braden Holtby has recorded a 5-1-0 record, a 1.96 goals-against average and a .938 save % .Holtby is 7-3-1 with a 2.08 GAA and a .932 save percentage versus Ottawa.

The Bruins are pretty banged up entering this game as HC Cassidy said the he will not have Brad Marchand, Torey Krug, Anders Bjork and Adam McQuaid because of injuries in the lineup tonight. Also after coming off a west coast road trip, I'm expecting the Bruins who are fifth in the Atlantic Division -- 12th overall in the Eastern Conference and 25th in the NHLÂ to be a little tired tonight, giving the home team the edge. Boston has not been able to take advantage of teams that allow 3+ goals/game this season like the Devils going 0-5 ATS .

11-21-17 | Bulls +6 v. Lakers | 94-103 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a tilt of 2 fairly evenly matched teams, with home court advantage worth 3 points according to my own cross reference power rankings. Thus in a game I have pegged at close to one possession or 2 possession game, the Bulls  have an edge based on the numbers being offered by the sportsbooks both in Vegas and off shore. I will not be surprised at all if the Bulls pull of the SU upset here vs a Lakers team that should be on tired legs as they prepare to play their 8th game in 13 days. LA LAKERS are 9-20 ATS L/29 when playing 8 or more games in 14 days. LAKERS are 6-21 ATS  L/27 after playing 2 consecutive home games.CHICAGO is 15-4 ATS L/19 in road games after a game where they attempted 100 or more shots. NBA teams like Chicago have done well from a SU perspective vs NBA Home teams vs. the money line like the LAKERS- off a win by 10 points or more as an underdog, a marginal losing team (40% to 49%) playing a losing team winning SU 21 of the L/35 times for a 60% conversion rate dating back 5 seasons. NBA Home favorites like the Lakers - after allowing 100 points or more 3 straight games against opponent after scoring 55 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games. 61-111 ATS L/21 seasons for a go against conversion rate of more than 64% for bettors on the blind.

Nevada is a fine team, but Davidson I'm betting gives them a big time battle, making getting the points golden. CBB team (NEVADA) - off a road win, first 5 games of the season, after closing out last season with 7+ spread covers in last 8 games 9-21 SU L/30 dating back 20 seasons.

11-21-17 | Oilers v. Blues UNDER 5.5 | 3-8 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
The Blues play a defensive minded style of hockey that works best in transition. Consistent goal tending and disciplined hockey, make them very hard to score against , as their 7th ranked GAA would indicate . Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers, a side with some big offensive names on their roster, ie (McDavid) are a side that is concentrating on playing much better defense, especially on the road thanks to their overall offense not being as productive as expected , ranking a lowly 29th in the league. The Oilers played a sloppy game last time out, losing 6-3, and their coach Todd McLellan was not happy with their performance. QUOTE: "The goalies have to be better, the defense, the forwards, the coaches have to be better," coach Todd McLellan told the Edmonton Sun. "None of us have lived up to where we need to be and that's why we're where we are in the standings. "I'm not going to single out the goaltender. It's team-wide. END QUOTE: I'm expecting a more disciplined approach from this Oilers group tonight in a game I expect to remain on the low side of the number.

11-20-17 | Blazers -2 v. Grizzlies | 100-92 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
The Portland Blazers go against a reeling Memphis Grizzlies  team that is playing with out point guard Mike Conely and on a current four game losing streak. Without Conely on the floor the team just doesn't seem to have consistent rhythm , and once again look like fade material in this spot. The Memphis D has also broken down and has allowed 100 or more points in eight of its past nine games. The Grizzlies went 1-7 in those games. It's also interesting to note that despite of appearances of a Grizzlies side that can supposedly play uptempo basketball as well as defense, the numbers and data don;t support their prowess, as they rank 29th in the league in pace and 25th in offensive production. With that said, I'm fading them tonight and keeping a eye on them until they can right their sinking ship. MEMPHIS is 4-16 ATS  L/20 in home games off a home loss . NBA Road favorites vs. the money line like PORTLAND  - after allowing 90 points or less 2 straight games against opponent after allowing 100 points or more 3 straight games are 106-25 SU during the L/21 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Tyronn Lue's Cavaliers are starting to jell, as they are currently on a 4 game win streak. The victories have not been over powering, but they are getting the job done, behind a veteran crew that prefers a methodical game plan rather than a fast paced run and gun style game. After their recent come from behind victory vs the LA Clippers, key veteran Dwayne Wade said, QUOTE:"We're one of the oldest teams in the league. We're not built for all of this," Wade said. "We're built for when the game slows down -- and late in games, the game slows down, and that's kind of when we're at our best." END QUOTE. Tonight against a Motown group on tired legs as they play back to back after playing last night, I'm betting the tempo will be to the Cavaliers liking and give them a much needed edge. Detroit won a close grueling tilt last night, 100-97 score at Minnesota. Note: NBA teams where the line is +3 to -3 like DETROIT- off a road win by 3 points or less, playing on back-to-back days are 5-24 ATS L/5 seasons for a 83% conversion rate for bettors.

The Sixers are in a down mood and on tired legs after blowing a 24-point lead over the Golden State Warriors with 38 seconds into the second half on Saturday night.  The  explosive defending NBA champions outscored them 63-21 over the next 17:48 on their way to a 124-116 victory. Now trying to deal with a lack of defensive responsibility and being exhausted and in a emotional letdown state , I expect the 76ers aggressiveness to be muted, which result in a more conservative effort than the linesmakers are expecting. Meanwhile, their opponents the Utah Jazz are playing the finale of a 4 game road  trip and will also be on tired legs, and when called upon have been know to play hard core physical D, something I expect from them tonight. Note : The Jazz own the 5th best point allowed D in the league , the 24th ranked offensive rating, and the only 6 teams in the league play at a slower pace then they do. With that said, I'm recommending we take the under path tonight. UTAH is 37-18 UNDER  L/54 in road games versus lower tier defensive teams - allowing 106 or more points/game with the combined average score of 200.1 ppg going on the scoreboard.UTAH  in their L/10 road games when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) have seen a combined average score of 207.2 ppg go on the board.

These are two heavy weights that can put points up on the board in a hurry, but as is usually the case when two big boys go head to head there is a wait see conservative period. With that look for both behemoths to be  vigilant and play disciplined defense first  basketball which I'm betting translates into a lower scoring game then the lines-makers estimate. It must also be noted that  UCLA, owns a whole new starting lineup five from last year. The top four scorers from last season are gone and the Bruins are still short-handed, as three top tier freshmen are suspended indefinitely following their arrest for shoplifting on a recent trip to China. In the Bruins only game vs decent basketball program they took part in a 63-60 physical affair. This one might not end up being played like that one , but I'm betting their won't be as many point going on the board as some might expect. CREIGHTON is 12-3 UNDER L/15 versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 37% or more of their attempts with the combined average score clicking in at 150 ppg.

END QUOTE: I know the Ducks are banged up with multiple injuries , but they are on 3 days rest, and have done well on fresh legs lately going 7-1 in their last 8 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Meanwhile, the Panthers are tired as they play their 4th game in 6 days and are 0-5 in their last 5 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation and have played 6 games in 10 days, which is not a good omen for their chances, as they are 0-9 ATS L/ 9 in road games when playing 6 or more games in 10 days losing by an average of 2 gpg.

I'm betting they will have three point guards on the floor this afternoon and go small, which will give Wis Milwaukkee some problems. If they have to go big, they can do that also with the like s of 6'5 Denzel-Dyson and Cunningham at the post. A new head coach in Wis Milwaukee has many wondering how this program will form going forward with Baldwin at the helm, he inherits a side that finished last in the Horizon league standings last season that has hands full with the cupboard fairly empty.  I'm not sold on this team doing much this season and as far as being favs today, I expect they will be lucky to come out of this game with a win , little lone a cover.

Its taken me some time to be persuaded that the Rams are for real. Well this week, I've finally come to the conclusion they are. After consistently beating up on opponents winning 4 straight and outscoring their L/3 opponents by a 117- 24 count their cross reference power rankings have skyrocketed.  With that said I;m sold on the Rams abilities and will back them today vs a what I still believe is a over rated Minnesota Vikings group that showed some vulnerabilities defensively last week by allowing Washington to put 30 points on the board against them. I'm also betting Case Keenum the upstart QB of the Vikings does not matchup well against this Rams smash mouth defense very well, and could find himself on his back quite a bit this week. NFL team vs the money line like the LA Rams - good offensive team - scoring 24 or more points/game, after allowing 17 points or less in 4 straight games are 25-2 SU L/5 seasons for a 93% conversion rate for bettors.

Last week Washington put 30 points on the board against the Vikings 4th ranked D, so based on their prowess packing on the points here will not be as difficult as some might think for the Skins.

Kings Rice's Monmouth group have been a tremendous MAAC program over the L/4 seasons. they have captured back to back 20 wins seasons and captured a reg season league championship. Yes, they no longer have 6 returning starters but the recruiting class is strong, especially on offense, and can  finally get this team over the hump and into the NCAA tourney. Meanwhile, Virginia, a side known for their stifling defense, is still a strong team despite of new faces, and some unknowns, but this line according to my own early season numbers is a little bloated, and based somewhat on their pedigree rather than the product on the floor. MONMOUTH is 14-5 ATS  L/19 in road games when playing against a team with a winning record and is 13-3 ATS L/16 versus good shooting teams - making 45% or better of their shots .

Nevada owns a 2-8 record on the season, thanks in part to what must be considered an atrocious defense, especially on the road where they have allowed an average of 40.4 ppg. The Wolfpacks only saving grace has been a sometimes explosive offense, but today against a very strong San Diego State D, allowing an average of just 18.8 ppg their in big trouble vs a team that is 18-0 SU and   12-1 ATS L/13 when playing against a team with a losing record , with he average score clicking in at SD St 37.4 opposition 8.5. Add to that Rocky Longs, great late season runs of late that have seen him go 9-0 SU 8-0-1 ATS in his L/4 games of the season when coming off a DD ATS win which happened last time out in a 52-7 ATS blasting of San Jose State. No mercy rule in effect here tonight. CFB road team vs. the money line like Nevada - cold team, after having lost 8 or more out of their last 10 games against opponent after having won 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games are 1-34 SU losing SU by an average of 26.1 ppg.  CFB  home team vs. the money line like San Diego State - team outrushing opponents by 80+ YPG against a team who is outrushed by 50+ YPG after 7+ games, after allowing 100 or less rushing yards last game are 29-1 SU winning by an average of 24.2 ppg.

The Trail Blazers enter into this game in cohesive form and were held to a season-low scoring output in an 86-82 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Friday night. Actually the Kings matchup well vs Portland and once again look like they will give problems to the Blazers inconsistent offense.The Trail Blazers have been held below 100 in five straight games and are averaging 94.8 points in that stretch. I know the Kings don't inspire bettors but, from a point spread perspective matchup well vs the host team, and are my recommended side here this evening. Trail Blazers are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Pacific.Trail Blazers are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 home games.Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Underdog is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings.

11-18-17 | Utah State v. Gonzaga -16 | 66-79 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
Gonzaga was a few possessions away from a national championship last season, and enter this game as big favs as they should be. The group while going through some changes, will still be hugely talented as HC Few is known to be a master recruiter. From a depth perspective, their maybe deficiencies, but as long as Gonzaga's core stays healthy they should be dominant again. Meanwhile, Utah State remains a strong offensive team, leading the conference FG %, last season, but at the same time their are defensive short comings which were also  obvious to, and I don't think were addressed over the summer. With that said, Gonzaga may not be the juggernaut they were last season, but their still a force to be reckoned with, and must respected as 8 possession/conversion rate favorite vs this type of team. CFB Home teams as a favorite or pick like Gonzaga - after scoring 95 points or more, with just two starters returning from last year in the first 5 games of the season are a bankroll expanding 31-6 ATS dating back 5 seasons.

11-18-17 | Nevada v. Pacific +12 | 89-74 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
Pacific under former NBA player HC Stoudamire are a team that should be respected as underdogs in this spot. the coach has a lot of respect from his players because of his playing career in the big leagues and has a good rapport with the players. He's done a fine job with this program, and if a few guys like Reynolds and Small  catch fire this season , this team will be surprise a lot of pundits. Meanwhile, Nevada, the Mountain West reg season champs, enter this game with a big time reputation under HC Musselman, but the caveat here comes via their off season losses, which made up a bulk of their offense. Yes, the Pack have looked good in their first three games, but laying this much lumber on the road , vs a feisty/crafty Pacific group still makes them fade material according to my own numbers. Note: Pacific lost 89-80 to Stanford a quality PAC 12 program, and have the ability to stay within the number here again tonight. Pacific is 7-2 SU l/9 in home games vs Nevada. CBB team like Nevada- off a road win, first 5 games of the season, after closing out last season with 7+ spread covers in last 8 games are just 8-21 L/29 SU for a go against 72% conversion rate.

In the last 6 seasons, Cal Poly Slo has ranked no worse than 32nd nationally in turnover percentage. When I look at certain underdogs this kind of thing stands out to me. This is the mind set that is instilled in this team. Last season injury woes destroyed any chance this team of making a top 3 run in the conference, but this season, they are being very under rated and could surprise some pundits. If they shoot just a bit better than last seasons 45% FB conversion rate we have a strong side to back as DD dog vs a Santa Clara side retooling after some key departures last season.

The reigning Presidents' Trophy winners Washington come home from a two-game road trip that saw them lose by scores of 6-3 in Nashville and 6-2 in Colorado. Top tier teams like this don't usually take well to being embarrassed and I'm betting they come out here with their hair on fire looking for quick redemption. I now their competition the Wild , have won for straight but their expected starting goalie, Dubnyk, , has struggled against Washington, posting a 2-4-1 mark with a 3.61 goals against average and a .879 save percentage and is fade material here this evening. Wild are 1-4 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Washington has won four in a row at Capital One Arena and get the nod again.

The Boston Celtics, are off a top tier win over the reigning NBA champion Golden St Warriors, and tonight put their 14-game winning streak on the line when they travel to play an Atlanta Hawks . Atlanta a team in  rebuilding mode, came out fired up last time out on Wednesday and beat a sleepy looking Kings team in conclusive fashion. The Hawks really exerted a lot of energy in that tilt, and might not have the electricity needed to put forth another strong effort here vs a over powering side. After shooting 63 percent, in that above mentioned win, a reversion to the norm against a tremendous defensive team must be expected. I'm betting as this game progresses, the Celtics will pull away for a comfortable victory. NBA Road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points like the Celtics - good team - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game against opponent after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half are 33-8 ATS dating back 21 seasons for a 81 % conversion rate for bettors.

No. 19 North Carolina State wants this game badly and  is on the verge of something special if they can get a 9 win season, stay in the top 25 and garner a big pay day with a top tier Bowl appearance. Needless to say North Carolina State is very motivated entering this tilt against a over rated Wake Forest program that despite of a explosive 64-43  win last week, vs Syracuse still allowed a whopping 621 yards on defense, and in the game before that allowed 710 yards to Notre Dame. I just don't like them today vs a a football program that has owned them of late winning three straight SU/ATS by an average of 22 points per game and are 8-1 L/9 in this series when the Deacons are off a win. I'm also betting on Wake Forest to be in an emotional letdown state , after last week astounding come back win. WAKE FOREST is 0-7 ATS  L/7 after 5 consecutive games where they committed 1 or less turnovers. CFB teams where the line is +3 to -3 like Wake Forest - good team - outscoring opponents by 7 or more points/game, after allowing 31 points or more in 2 straight games are 8-28 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against 78% conversion rate for bettors.

Purdue is a very strong Big 10 program with a lot of big athletic players in their ,lineup. Despite of having the guns to put down a boatload full of points, the Boilermaker HC Painter prides himself on being able to play shut down defense, and today against Fairfield I'm betting that will be the case. Meanwhile, Fairfield, is an easy team to slow down if you can control their super star Tyler Nelson ( 19.5 ppg last season), something I'm betting the Boliermakers will do. Also on the flipside, Fairfield owned the 2nd best D, in the MAAC last season behind St.Peters and according to my cross reference player personnel rankings will be even better this season. FAIRFIELD is 14-4 UNDER  vs. good free throw shooting teams - making 72% or more  of their attempts with a combined average of 150.8 ppg going on the board.FAIRFIELD is 6-0 UNDER after a win by 10 points or more with a combined average of 140.3 ppg going on the scoreboard.  ÂCBB Home teams against the total like Purdue - after a game - shooting 57% or higher, allowing 43% or lower against opponent after 2 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 37% or less are 54-14 UNDER the L/20 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors.

Yes, the Huskies made it to the CIT last season, and are a decent program in a lesser conference , but they are very much over matched here as they were against Providence in a 84-55 loss in their opener this season. It must also be noted that the Huskies are reloading and need time to jell, which is never a good thing when playing against this kind of explosive opponent.

Ford the coach of Tennessee State is a guy I respect, but today his team is in over their heads in my humble opinion vs a offensively explosive Middle Tennessee State hoops program. Ford built last teams squad around the now departed Tahjere McAll and all OVC pick, but now the cupboard may be a little empty on top tier talent, and  considering his three returning guards shot consistency was awful I'm betting defense will be the name of the game.

I've kept an eye on Old Dominion , as I have been looking for improvement over the season, and I can see their on a upward trajectory. Last week vs FIU as DD road dogs, they took a 37-30 win in a game they actually dominated despite of the slight 7 point difference. The Monarchs freshman QB Steven Williams, continues to improve as their starting QB was injured earlier in the season. He had a 168 yards rushing, and 3 TDS in last weeks game, and give Old dominion the edge this week, vs a Rice team that can be best described as futile, allowing 40 or more points in 5 of their L/6 games. Note:OLD DOMINION is 7-0 ATS  L/7 vs. very bad defensive teams who give up 34 or more points/game Last year winning SU by an average of 13.7 ppg. the Owls lost to the Monarchs by a 45-42 count as 7 point favorites, and look like weak dogs this week vs a Old Dominion side that is 16-0 SU L/16 as chalk, and 10--1-1 L/12 against the spread. CFB Road underdogs like Rice - lower tier team - outscored by opponents by 10 or more points/game, after 2 straight games where 70 total points or more were scored are 6-26 ATS L/10 seasons for a 81% go against conversion rate for bettors.

With really nothing left o play for I cannot see them performing at optimal speed here today giving credence to my recommendation on taking a Pittsburgh team that needs a win badly to get a Bowl invite. In the past no matter which team has been better at the time, it seems the Panthers have found a way to be competitive as their 9-1 ATS and 6-3 SU record in this series would indicate.

E.Carolina has struggled for most of this season , thanks to a defense, that has allowed 45 ppg during their 2017 campaign , and also a  offense that has generated just 23.8 ppg. I know visiting Cincinnati may not inspire bettors but this is a very winnable game for them. The Bearcats have shown life, and some upward trajectory in games vs Navy, SMU and a recent upset win vs Tulane, and are a viable side to back in this tilt of downtrodden sides. In other words , the lesser of two evils, is the choice here today. ( Lay the FG with the Bearcats) E CAROLINA is 2-10 ATS vs. excellent punt coverage teams, allowing 7.5 yards or less per return losing SU by an average of 11.2 ppg.

Texas since their ugly opening loss to Maryland have steadily improved under Tom Herman, and I don't think we have seen them at their very best quite yet and could easily see them in top form today as they need one more win to secure a bowl bid. Meanwhile,  West Virginia already has a bowl game in their December plans, and may not be as motivated as their opponents. With that said, I'm betting we have an edge vs a W.Virginia side that has  not faired well as home chalk of late vs .500 or above conference  opposition  going 3-11 ATS . Meanwhile, the LongHorns HC Herman is 8-1 ATS L/7 as a underdog lifetime and has covered 11 of his L/13 vs a power 5 football programs and proved their metal in a recent road win vs Iowa State a home win vs KState, and two hard fought close losses to Oklahoma State by 3 points and a 5 point loss to Oklahoma. Note: My own projections tell me Texas will score 22 points or more, which is a good omen, as TEXAS is 6-0 ATS  L/6 when they score 22 to 28 points over the last few seasons.  CFB road team like the Longhorns - off a win by 10 points or more over a conference rival, with 4+ more total starters and an experienced QB returning against team with new QB are 32-9 ATS L/5 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors.

Note: DENVER is 18-8 ATS L/26 off a road loss. Meanwhile, the Pelicans despite of having offensive juggernauts Davis and Cousins on the floor continue to play lazy defense, are allowing their opposition to shooting 42 percent from long range over the last five games and New Orleans has allowed 16 3-pointers in three of the past four games. Those are ugly numbers, and here in the thin air of Denver, I;m betting their defensive acumen will be tested once again as will their lagging conditioning and two way transitional play. Pelicans are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Pelicans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Northwest.Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Southwest.

Both sides have identical records . I know that Midd Tenn State has won 2 straight games convincingly , but those were against lowly UTEP and Charlotte. Meanwhile, W.Kentucky played Vanderbilt and Marshall very tough in back to back games, and despite of losing were looking better than the pundits might have you expect.

Tonight against the banged up Spurs, who are without either star forward Kawhi Leonard or point guard Tony Parker, the Spurs are a patch work side, and are vulnerable to being taken down even here on their own home floor. Last time out the Spurs lost 98-86 to the Wolves, and looked a little awkward in the loss, something I'm not used to seeing from Popovich and company. Tonight I'm fading them here at home as it looks at the moment the key losses and injuries are finally catching up with them. NBA team vs the money line like the THUNDER - off 3 or more consecutive home wins against opponent off a road loss by 10 points or more are 44-10 for a 82% conversion rate for bettors over the L/5 seasons.

Miami (6-8) travels to D.C. to play Friday night's rematch against the Washington Wizards (9-5) . This the second of back to back games vs each other which I'm betting favors the visitors covering. The Wizards were admittedly the better of the teams on Wednesday night when they played, but what I noticed was Washington's ugly  perimeter defense, that  saw the  Heat make 13 3-pointers -- four more than Washington -- and shot 43.3 percent from beyond the arc. The Wizards weakness is not finding ways to stop Wall or Beal , but instead consistently convert from downtown on  treys. Something I'm betting the heat can do again, and get us the cover. The Wizards despite of their talented offense, are lazy in the rebound department, as was also evident in the Heat's 15-8 advantage on second-chance points. Center Hassan Whiteside, who had 14 points and a game-high 21 rebounds is key here tonight, and now after getting acclimated to what the Wizards bring to the floor I expect Miami to be much better here in the 2nd go around. WASHINGTON is 5-16 ATS L/21 in home games off a road win . MIAMI is 10-0 ATS  L/10 in road games after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games, which has just happened. NBA team like Washington - after beating the spread by more than 6 points in three consecutive games against opponent after going under the total by 54 or more points total in their last ten games are just 4-28 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 88% for bettors.

Columbia took on a new coach last season, Jim Engles, and they had a decent season just missing out on the Ivey League play offs finishing 5th. He was an assistant their prior to that, so he pretty well kept the schemes and systems in place, which is a fast paced 3 point downtown type of hoops. He only had one starter back last season but the team still scored an average of 71.9 ppg and were ranked third from beyond the arc. Now that this group is more seasoned and the newcomers more talented, his system I'm betting will generate better results behind a lagging D, that should also be better this season. Meanwhile, Penn State is a big lumbering team now with the addition of a 7 footer in the off season, but their slower to. I'm expecting them to find the speed game here a little tiring on them, and for Columbia to be able to keep the back door open with their ability to down the trey, making Columbia a viable underdog in this spot.

HC Hamilton continues to make Florida State a relevant  program in the ACC , and has been recruiting some top tier talent of late ( prep All Americans). These kids plays a suffocating defense, and despite of a departure of 3 players to NBA, are still a blue blood team with plenty of talent. This team has still got 6 returning players with DD playing minutes under their belts and 5 extremely talented recruits and still the deepest roster in the ACC. Meanwhile Jeff Neubauers Fordham is will be lucky to have a ,500 seaon in the Atlantic 10, but they have  have come a long way since he took over, but  their still in way over their heads here, and unless they find a way to play way above themselves , are going down by 20 or more points in my betting opinion, making this a viable opportunity to back the superior side. FORDHAM is 0-7 ATS  L/7 in road games in non-conference games.FLORIDA ST is 13-2 ATS after a game where they attempted 7 or less free throws . Play on Florida State to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-16-17 | Capitals -131 v. Avalanche | 2-6 | Loss | -131 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Washington got beat up on in their last game against Nashville, by a 6-3 count after having won 5 of their previous 6 games. But now I'm betting on a bounce back effort from Ovechkin and company . It must be noted that the Capitals have won 12 of their last 14 games after allowing five or more goals in the previous contest and have owned the Colorado Avalanche of late winning 6 straight meetings. Braden Holtby (10-4-0, 2.68 goals-against average, .918 save percentage) is expected to start after stopping 19 of 25 shots and getting pulled after two periods Tuesday. That after allowing a total of six goals in 123 shots in his previous four starts. |

11-16-17 | Titans v. Steelers -7 | 17-40 | Win | 103 | 37 h 33 m | Show | |
Tennessee enters this game with 4 straight wins as does their hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers. but according to my own cross reference power rankings and head to head matchup stats the Steelers are superior side.  Steelers HC Tomlin is 13-3 ATS L/16 in a home game where the total is between 42.5 and 45 points with the average score clicking in at Steelers 27.8 opposition 18 . That number is very close to my own projections which makes the Steelers in my humble opinion a viable wagering option in this spot. It must also be noted that Thursday night favs are 18-0 SU L/18 and 16-1-1 ATS in a non division tilt with a total of 41 or more attached to it. Tennessee is 1-6-2 ATS L/9 vs NFC north opposition, and their QB Marcus Mariota is just 1-7 ATS away L/8 off a win.

11-16-17 | Warriors v. Celtics UNDER 216 | 88-92 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
The Celtics own the No. 1 defense  in the NBA overall and won their 13 straight behind a deliberate pace that ranks them 21st in the league ( 96.6)  . It's been their staunch D, that has got them to this point and I'm betting they will be well prepared to try to slow down the explosive Golden State Warriors in this spot. Meanwhile, Golden State on a 7 game win streak, despite of their reputation for being scoring machines, are also a viable defensive team, ranking 10th in defensive efficiency and are more than capable of keeping the deliberate Celtics from hitting their selective shots consistently. Look for this two heavy weights to collide in a physical slower paced game than the linesmakers and pundits expect. Under is 14-3 in Warriors last 17 vs. NBA Atlantic.Under is 13-2-1 in Celtics last 16 vs. NBA Pacific.Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Boston.

He takes over a Flyers program with a lot of pedigree and a winning culture and now has the parts to get his team moving in the right direction. There will be growing pains, but in matchups like this his side should have an edge. Meanwhile, Hofstra despite of having a team that can light the scoreboard up in a hurry, have been defensively deficient in the recent past ranking , 8th in their conference and on adjusted defensive efficiency numbers ranked a ugly 317 in the nation via Kenpom numbers!

Portland is coming off its most complete performance of the season in a 99-82 beat down  of Northwest Division rival Denver on Monday and the team finally looks like its ready for a run. Tonight hey face a improved Orlando side, that according to my cross reference power rankings the Blazers matchup very well against. This is a Portland team that has proven it can score in bunches, and is now working hard on having an equally effective defense. Veteran forward Ed Davis see light at the end of the tunnel..QUOTE: "If you hold a team under 90, you're going to win," he said. "Even though our record is not what we want it to be, I feel like if we're defending every game, it's going to turn around eventually. END QUOTE: I agree with his assessments and very much like their chances to cover tonight. I know Orlando has played decent ball of late, but continued  success from a ATS perspective has been daunting for this franchise in the past, as is evident by a  2-11 ATS  L/10 run after covering 3 of their last 4 against the spread losing SU by more than 17 ppg.

The ducks and Bruins both enter this game banged up with a boatload full of injuries.The Bruins dressed five rookies against Toronto on Saturday and will likely do the same against the Ducks. Anaheim always because of their physical style seem like they play short handed on a consistent basis, but because of a good system, and a pipeline of talent that fits into their style of play seem to always find ways to win fairly consistently. Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle also HAS  had two days to prepare for the Bruins, and I'm betting his team will be ready. BOSTON is 3-8 ATS against good offensive teams - averaging 29.5+ shots on goal per game this season and 4-9 ATS L/13 against poor defensive teams - opponents average 29.5+ shots on goal this season.ANAHEIM is 7-0 ATS  l/7 after failing to cover 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread .Bruins are 0-7 in the last 7 meetings and 0-4 L/4 meetings in Anaheim.

The Charlotte Hornets expect forward Nic Batum to make his season debut Wednesday night when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers which will help them a lot. Tonight against a Cleveland team that used a lot of energy and emotion to erase a late DD deficit to beat the NY Knicks (104-101) on Monday night an emotional letdown scenario is also a major possibility. Coach Lue said previous to that game that his super star and leader behind the late flurry LeBron James is out of shape.QUOTE: "He has to get in shape," Lue insisted. "He missed the whole training camp, that's the reason why." END QUOTE: He played 38 min in the above mentioned game and looked exhausted at the end, and that hangover could easily rear its ugly head in this spot.

Meanwhile, the Bucks have also played well since Bledsoe arrived from the Suns, and while a lot is being made of his prescience by the media, I can see his effectiveness fading as the Bucks are due for a letdown effort after 3 straight wins.

We were playing at a very high level getting into our preseason. Guys were rising up with confidence, making shots."When we don't shoot the ball well right now, we're not bringing the energy we need on the other end of the floor. So it's about building that confidence back up." END QUOTE: Hoiberg has made some changes for tonight that should ignite his slumping team. Point guard Kris Dunn will get firs t start of the season, and Denzel Valentine may get the start over Paul Zipser at the three spot. The Thunder are expecting to be without starter without center Steve Adams a more integral part of this team than many might think. Chicago has won their L/2 meeting here in Oklahoma city!

Meanwhile, the Blackhawks are at the opposite end of the proverbial performance spectrum, and suffering through 3 losses in their L/4 games, with the offense continuing to be surprisingly ineffective and or consistent. NY RANGERS are 9-1 ATS  L/10 when playing against a marginal losing team (Win Pct. 40% to 49%) in the first half of the season dating back to last season.NY RANGERS are 9-1 ATS  in road games after 3 or more consecutive overs.Rangers are 25-9 in their last 34 vs. Western Conference.Road team is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings with the Rangers winning 4 straight here in Chitown.

Both teams have ugly records with the Kings sporting a 3-10 mark while the Hawks own a ugly 2-12 record. I expect both these teams look at this as a winnable game and both will play hard, which makes getting the points a viable betting option here tonight.

The Wizards and the Heat prepare to play back to back home and way game against each other over the next few of days. Tonight they will play in Miami.The Heat have looked good in their recent road trip out west where they beat the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz. I myself like very much the way this group plays together and expect an upward trajectory from them going forward as long as they can stay healthy. I base this projection, on Miami's defense which has  improved significantly  of late, as they rank third in the Eastern Conference in points allowed (103.1 per game) which gives them an edge vs a Wizards side that have the No. 1 offense in the East (111.4 points per game). The Wizards Achilles Heel is their defense, which ranks only 10th in the conference at 105.9 points per game. In the end I'm betting home court advantage, deeper/ stronger bench, out does a Washington bench that has struggled this season. MIAMI is 19-9 ATS  L/28 versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more of their shots and 23-10 ATS L/33 versus good passing teams, averaging 23 assists/game or more. Wizards are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win.Heat are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest.Wizards are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

They own a strong backcourt with Ahamd Rorie ( 17.5 ppg) Micheal Oguine ( 11.9 ppg). They have both a low post threat and fast guardsand must not be underestimated as dogs in this spot. Meanwhile, their opponents Penn State are now a big strapping team, with a 7 footer added in the off season, and despite of their Big 10 power conference rating and decent Kenpom numbers, are according to my own data a little over rated against this very viable opponent. Take the points with Montana to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-14-17 | Purdue -4 v. Marquette | 86-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
Gavitt Tipoff Games series Marquette finally has a roster that has been completely recruited by Wojciechowski. However, despite of this , I'm betting that early on this season, they may have issues, especially against a big strong Big 10  team like Purdue, considering Golden Eagles only have two experienced players with any size. Marquette lost 4 experienced scorers from last season,including 3 1000 point career producers. they must replace 45% of their scoring and 42% of their rebounding corps.  After losing some scoring punch from last season, and experience  I cant see them being as good from 3 point land as they were last year, finishing first in the nation or as good on the boards. With that said, HC Matt Painter and company are the superior team, and must also be considered a key front runner  for both the Big 10 championship and national title, behind an experienced group that returns 6 of 7 of their rotation. This is an experienced group that will not be intimidated at all, something I cannot say about Marquette at this point of the season.

These are two teams trending in the opposite direction. San Antonio (8-5) despite of being short handed has found ways to win while, the Mavericks (2-12) find ways to lose mostly because of third quarter lapses, which surround around key players like Nowitzki  Smith, and Barnes who have had shooting slumps at inopportune times. It's not like the Mavs have been completely futile, as they have stayed close against upper echelon sides this season, and upset Washington last week. Overall they must not be underestimated as home  underdogs and I'm backing them in this spot.  Spurs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. Underdog is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings.NB Favorites like San Antonio - good 3PT shooting team (36.5% or more) against a poor 3PT defense (36.5% or more), average rebounding team (+/-3 reb/game) against a horrible rebounding team (-5.5 reb/game or less) are 42-87 ATS L/21 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 68% for bettors.

 The Nashville Predators (9-5-2) enter this game against visiting Washington forming into top gear as is evident by having won its last four games, scoring 16 goals ( 4gpg). Its power play is one of the top 10 in the NHL and also firing on all cylinders. Add to that their veteran goalie Pekka Rinne (8-2-2, 2.23, .929), is also red hot and you have a Preds team worth backing as home favs. Note: Nashville is 4-1-1 at home this season, and have once of the most energetic arenas in the league, which automatically gives the Preds and edge against all comers. Predators are 21-7 in their last 28 home games. I know the Caps have also been hot , after winning their 5th game in 6th tries, but the difference maker will be home ice advantage. Capitals are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Nashville.Home team is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

11-14-17 | Elon +5 v. Furman | 67-76 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
Matt Mathenys Elon had a very good campaign last season, and are building a nice program. They are returning four double figure scorers from last season, and they ranked 2nd in adjusted defensive efficiency in the CAA , which translated to the best FG defensive efficiency and were disciplined in their avoidance of fouls also finishing first. That top D, should continue thanks  to a experienced returning group.  Now the HC is looking for his offense to step up and focused his off season attention on getting some consistent scoring on board. Instead of a free flowing run and gun offense, he is going to take more intelligent stance, remain speedy, but instead we should see more half court sets, according to what the coaching staff have planed. The Phoenix is a dangerous team, that I'm keeping an eye on and will be a tough out, here tonight as they won't beat themselves, as is evident by their 4th ranked TO % and stingy ability to hold teams down with a lead as their (.732 FT) suggests. Meanwhile, Furman off a rebuilding season last year , came out and was successful after a 7 win campaign the season before. However, this was an emotional team that seemed to dig down deep for wins. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but their emotional leader from last season, Acox has departed and now the chemistry of the team may as well. They will still be a good team in the SoCon, because of good coach ( Richey) and his own hand picked recruiting class, but tonight he will be in deep vs a strong side.

Tennessee Tech finished with an 8-8 record last season, and looked good at times vs 20 wins teams. Overall their biggest problem was their offensive adjusted ratings, ranking 272 in the nation (Pomeroys #s). They were atrocious with their conversion numbers, but should be much better this season, thanks to the additions, of Tilroy and Calhoun, which will allow Jugovic to roam more freely on offense  this season. Also add to their ability to get to the FT line, and you have a side that have value on a 21 plus point underdog line. Meanwhile, TCU according to my early season rankings remains a program that just does not look as viable as the linesmkaers are making them out to be.

Coach Jason Kidd moved the veteran into the starting lineup, and saw immediate results, beating San Antonio and the LA Lakers. They will benefit from this top tier scorer against certain teams, but against a physical side like the Grizzlies, I'm betting on a reversal in their fortunes tonight. According to  my own cross reference players/team ratings we have value with the Grizzlies vs this type of team that can both run and gun and be inside/out side shit busters.

The Stars, are in top form and  have won four of their last six contests after recording  a 5-0 victory over a strong looking New York Islanders group on Friday. Carolina despite of finding ways to procure points, are a team, that is not operating at 100% efficiency and they have a lot of issues that if they remain persistent could hamper their play offs hopes as this season progresses.

The Stars are rolling right now, and offer us good moneyline value to pull off a win vs a side they matchup well against and have beaten 6 straight times. Note: This is Carolinas 3rd game in 4 nights,. In the recent past the Canes are just 1-4 in their last 5 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Dallas G Ben Bishop, the expected Canes starter between the pipes tonight, is 8-1-1 with a 1.89 goals-against average and .942 save percentage against the Hurricanes. Stars are 5-0 in their last 5 vs. Metropolitan.Hurricanes are 0-5 in their last 5 vs. Central. Play on the Dallas Starts to win on the moneyline 1 unit reg selection |
