02-24-23 | Austin Peay v. Florida Gulf Coast OVER 134.5 | Top | 71-89 | Win | 100 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
This is a 10* ASUN TOY on the OVER Austin Peay/FGCU. This one sets up well to be high-scoring affair from a situational stand point. This is the final game of the regular season for both teams. Austin Peay has seen the total go UNDER the number in six straight. That's significant to note though, as the Governors have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 still after playing to five or more straight UNDERS in a row. Florida Gulf Coast plays with the added incentive of revenge here as well after falling 61-59 to Austin Peay as a 4.5-point favorite back on January 5th. That's also important to note here, as the Eagles have seen the total go UNDER the number in five of their last seven in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference loss against an opponent. Look for this final game of the regular season to be a wide open one, and as a result, expect this total to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later. Good luck, NP |

02-24-23 | Richmond +9.5 v. VCU | 58-73 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* SIDE BLOWOUT on Richmond. Richmond has done well in this spot for bettors, and I expect this strong trend to continue here. The Spiders have been trading wins and losses over their last five games, but off an 81-78 SU win over Saint Louis as an underdog, I look for them to keep the momentum rolling. They also play with revenge here after 74-62 at home to VCU as 1.5-point favorites back in January. Note that Richmond is a near-perfect 5-1 ATS in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent. No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points, the play is RICHMOND. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-23-23 | Blazers v. Kings UNDER 239.5 | 116-133 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* TOTAL SPECIAL on the UNDER Blazers/Kings. Despite scoring being up around the league, this is still a really high O/U line. I say it's a little TOO high. I just expect each team to come out a little flat-footed here after the break. Note that Portland has seen the total go UNDER in eight of its last 11 when playing with three or more days of rest. The last time these teams played against each other, the Blazers managed the 115-108 upset win as three-point underdogs. I expect a similar tight, and ultimately lower-scoring contest here as well. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-23-23 | Flames +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 6* PUCK-LINE BLOWOUT on the Flames. Calgary did beat Vegas 3-2 at home back on October 18th. I expect a similar hard-fought game here as well. The Flames hammered the Coyotes 6-3 last night, while the Knights lost 3-2 in a shootout at Chicago on Tuesday, snapping a five-game win streak. These two teams are evenly matched. With the blowout win in Arizona last night, the Flames were able to game-plam around the back-to-back scenario early in last night's victory. I don't think fatigue will be an issue here. That said, in a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I'm going to recommend laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The play is CALGARY on the PUCK-LINE. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-23-23 | Louisiana Tech v. Western Kentucky UNDER 144 | Top | 66-76 | Win | 100 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Louisiana Tech/WKU. Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening. Louisiana Tech is 13-14, including just 4-9 on the road, while WKU is 14-13 overall, including 8-4 at home. The Bulldogs have lost four straight and they've seen the total go OVER in three straight. Note though that Louisiana Tech has see the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. The last time these teams played against each other was at WKU, and the Hilltoppers would finally pull away for an 84-74 OT win on January 19th, covering the four-point spread, and the total blastig past the posted number of 141.5. Note as well that WKU has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss against an opponent. WKU has actually seen the total go OVER the number in five straight. It's lost back-to-back high-scoring and tight road games. Now back home, I look for WKU to double down on the defensive end. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-22-23 | Blackhawks v. Stars OVER 6 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOOD-BATH on the OVER Hawks/Stars. This one sets up well to be a higher-scoring game in my opinion. Dallas has seen the total go UNDER in 11 straight. Once lop-sided streaks get to this length, then the value often starts to finally swing the other way. The Stars are desperate to snap a four-game slide, and a game vs. the Hawks is just what the doctor ordered. Dallas beat Chicago 6-4 here at home on November 23rd in their most recent matchup. But the Hawks are arguably playing their best hockey of the season right now with three straight quality wins. I'm expecting a faster-paced game, and as such, I'll recommend a play on the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-22-23 | Maine +2.5 v. New Hampshire | Top | 62-74 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
This is a 10* MID-MAJOR MAULING on Maine. Neither team has been great this year. Maine is 11-15, and New Hampshire is 12-13. Both have been better at home than on the road, but on January 11th, New Hampshire upset Maine on the road by a score of 71-58 as a four-point dog. Note though that the Black Bears 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss as a favorite to an opponent. Maine is also 4-1 ATS in its last five after three or more straight ATS losses in a row, as despite a 74-72 outright win over Albany last time out, the Bears have indeed dropped three straight ATS right now. While the outright is a possibility, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can with MAINE. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-22-23 | UMass Lowell v. Maryland-Baltimore County +2.5 | Top | 75-70 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
This is a 10* A.E. GOM om UMBC. This one sets up great for the home side. UMass is 22-7 this year, but just a pedestrian 8-7 on the road. UMBC is 17-12 overall this season, but 13-2 in front of the home town crowd. This is a revenge game for UMBC, which fell 81-75 at UMass as a four-point dog back in mid January. Note though that the Retreivers are 5-1 ATS in their last six in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss against an opponent. The outright win is possible, but let's grab the points with UMBC. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-21-23 | Canucks v. Predators UNDER 6.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 42 m | Show |
This is a 10* WESTERN CONFERENCE TOY on the UNDER Canucks/Predators. It really sets up well from a situational stand point to be a lower-scoring defensive affair here. Vancouver has now seen the total go OVER the number in seven straight after snapping a three-game losing slide witha 6-2 win over Philadelphia at home in its latest action. The Canucks are just 11-15-3-0 on the road and 22-30-3-1 overall. The Predators are 26-22-5-1 overall, including 15-10-2-1 at home. Nashville hasn't been playing well either of late, dropping three of its last four, including a 4-3 loss at Minnesota in its latest action. Note as well that the Canucks play with revenge here after a 4-3 home loss to Nashville at the start of the season, and that's significant to note, as Vancouver has in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a home loss against an opponent. Two teams in dire need of a victory here, expect this competitive like atmosphere to help in contributing to a very defensive and ultimately lower-scoring UNDER as far as the total is concerned. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-21-23 | Akron v. Toledo UNDER 149 | Top | 63-84 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Toledo/Akron. Two of the best in the conference duke it out here, but instead of a high-scoring shootout, I believe that this one sets up to be a very defensive affair. Akron is 19-8, but just 5-4 on the road. Akron is 21-6, including 11-1 at home. The Zips have seen the total go OVER in three of their last four, but note that they play with revenge here after an 84-74 loss at home to the Rockets as two-point favorites at the start of February. Akron though has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent in which it was the favorite. Toledo has won 11 in a row. It's seen the total go OVER in three straight, which is significant to note here, as the Rockets have seen the total go UNDER in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Expect the rematch between these two conference heavyweights to be a very defensive affair. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-21-23 | Central Michigan v. Buffalo -11.5 | Top | 35-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
This is a 10* ULTIMATE REVENGE BLOOD-BATH on Buffalo. This particular play is indeed based entirely around the "revenge" factor. CMU is 10-17, including just 3-10 on the road, while Buffalo is 12-15 overall, but 9-4 at home. The Bulls play with revenge after falling 87-78 in OT at CMU in mid-January. Note that Buffalo is a near-perfect 4-1 ATS in its last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference loss in which it was the favorite vs. an opponent. Revenge is a dish best served "cold," they say, and I hear that it's FREEZING in Buffalo tonight. Lay the points, the play is the BULLS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-20-23 | Cal-Irvine v. Cal Poly +10.5 | Top | 59-56 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG WEST GAME OF THE YEAR on Cal Poly Slo. UC Irvine is currently No. 1 in the Big West, but I think it'll get caught "looking past" its lowly opponent today, leaving the back door wide open for a solid cover for Cal Poly Slo, which is currently 11th in the Conference. The Mustangs play with revenge here after a tight 55-54 loss at UC Irvine two weeks ago. The Anteaters easily covered with the 13.5 points in that one, and I'm expecting a similar "gutty" performance here now at home as well from Cal Poly Slo. I think this one'll be much tighter than what this spread is suggesting. Grab the points, the play is CAL POLY SLO. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-20-23 | Hawaii v. CS Bakersfield UNDER 122.5 | 61-50 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8 MID-MAJOR BLOWOUT on the UNDER Hawaii/CSU Bakersfield. The last time these teams played against each other, the total went OVER the number, but I'm expecting more of a defensive battle this time around. Hawaii beat CSU Bakersfield by a score of 72-69 as a 16-point favorite at home back in January. The total went OVER the number of 119.5 in that one. Note though that CSU Bakersfield has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in tryihng to avenge a conference road loss against an opponent. The Roadrunners have actually see the total go OVER the number in nine straight now. That's only helped in driving this particular total a few points higher than it normally would/should be though. Look for a very defensive, lower-scoring UNDER in this one. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-20-23 | Jets +1.5 v. Rangers | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
This is a 10* PUCKLINE BK on the Jets. Despite a 4-2 loss at New Jersey just last night, I think that desperate Winnipeg "comes to play" here in the Big Apple, and in a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The Rangers have arguably been the hottest team in the NHL over the last month, but this is a bad "spot" for them for sure. They just had their seven game win streak snapped in tight 3-2 OT loss at Calgary two nights ago. They went 3-1 on that road trip. Now returning home after a successful trip, and off their first loss in a very long time, this is a classic "letdown" spot. And with a two-game road swing for the Rangers up next in Detroit and Washington, this non-conference contest takes on less importance. But no such luxury for the Jets, who have lost two straight to open up this road trip. With upcoming game at Long Island, the road ahead isn't getting any easier for the Jets. I think an outright is possible, but the official call is to play WINNIPEG on the PUCKLINE option. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-19-23 | Belmont v. Drake UNDER 145.5 | Top | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Belmont/Drake. Two of the best in the conference go head to head here in this Missouri Valley matchup, and in my opinion, all signs point to more of a defensive battle than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. Belmont is 19-9, including just 6-6 on the road though, while Drake is 22-6, including 12-1 at home. Belmont plays with revenge here after falling 79-61 at home to the Bulldogs back on January 29th, but note that the Bruis have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in four of their last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss against an opponent. Drake has won eight in a row. It's now seen the total go OVER in six straight. But note that the Bulldogs have still seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row. Expect this highly-competitive battle to be a defensive one. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-19-23 | East Carolina v. SMU UNDER 143 | 70-86 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* TOTAL SPECIAL on the UNDER ECU/SMU. Neither team is very good, and I'm expecting that a combination of ineptitude and aggressive defensive play will lead to this total staying UNDER the posted number. ECU is 13-12, but just 1-6 on the road. It averages only 69.8 PPG, while allowing 70.2. The Pirates have seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five, and while their last game vs. SMU did fly OVER the number in their 77-72 upset home victory as two-point dogs back on February 4th, I expect a much tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring contest in the rematch. Note that SMU has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss as a favorite against an opponet. SMU has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last nine, including four straight. Off back-to-back high-scoring losses, I look for the Mustangs, who are just 9-18 overall and only 6-8 at home, to double down on the defensive end this evening. In my estimation, this total is a little high. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-18-23 | Western Kentucky v. Rice UNDER 153 | Top | 77-83 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 60 m | Show |
This is a 10* CONFERENCE USA TOY on the UNDER WKU/Rice. Everything points to this one being a much more defensive affair than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. WKU is 14-12, including only 4-7 on the road. It's three-game win streak was snapped in a 68-64 OT loss at Charlotte last time out. The Hilltoppers have seen the total go OVER the number in four straight, but note that they've seen the total go UNDER in five of their last seven after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. They play with revenge here as well after falling 81-78 to Rice as six-point favorites on December 29th, and that's significant to note here, as WKU has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last six in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. Rice has seen the total go OVER in five straight, but note that the Owls have seen the total go UNDER in eight of their last 11 after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row. Expect a hard-fought and competitive game, but one that falls UNDER the number once it's all said and done. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-17-23 | Abilene Christian v. Grand Canyon UNDER 143.5 | Top | 84-94 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the UNDER Albilene Christian/Grand Canyon. Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end here. These teams have played each a total of three times, and Grand Canyon is 3-0. That includes a 75-73 win back in January. Note though that Albilen Christian has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five in trying to avenge a conference loss vs. an opponent. The Wildcats average 70.4 PPG, while the Antelopes average 70.2. I don't see either team reaching its offensive average here though in the rematch. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-17-23 | Stars v. Wild -103 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
This is a 10* CENTRAL DIVISION GOY on the Wild. Minnesota is just 1-5 in its last six. It's still 28-21 overall and 16-10-0-2 at home though. It's been competitive in its last two losses, falling 2-1 in a shoout to Florida, before dropping a 3-2 game to the defending champs. Minnesota plays with the immediate "revenge" factor though after a 4-1 defeat at Dallas on February 8th. The Wild have done well for bettors in this spot, going 4-1 in their last five in trying to avenge a two goals or greater loss to a division opponent. Dallas is just 2-5 in its last seven. It's lost two straight as well. It's 30-14 overall, and 15-8-4-0 on the road, but with a home game vs. lowly Columbus tomorrow night, I say the Stars get caught "looking ahead." Great value on what I believe to be the much "hungrier" team in this spot, and which has the benefit of playing at home. The play is MINNESOTA. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-16-23 | Wizards v. Wolves UNDER 235.5 | Top | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Wizards/Wolves. I think these non-conference foes will run out of steam in the second half as they each get caught LOOKING AHEAD to the All-Star break. Washington is off a 126-101 win at Portland. It beat Minnesota 142-127 at home back on November 28th, and that's signficant to note here because the Wolves have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight eight of their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent. Minnesota has seen the total go OVER the number in six straight as well. That's only helped in driving tonight's O/U line a few points higher than it normally would be though in my professional opinion. I think this'll be a competitive game, but one that falls UNDER the number once the final horn blares. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-15-23 | Rangers v. Canucks UNDER 6.5 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 32 m | Show |
This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER Rangers/Canucks. I think this total is high. I expect a defensive affair here. Vancouver has lost four of its last five. It's seen the total go OVER in five straight, but note that the 'Nucks have seen the total go UNDER the number in four of their last five after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row. The Canucks play with revenge here after a 4-3 loss at New York last week. Note that Vancouver has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 in trying to avenge a road loss against an opponent. New York has won five straight. It's seen the total go OVER in four straight. The Rangers though still only allow 2.6 GPG, ranked fourth overall. I expect a slower, more methodical paced game here, so the play is the UNDER! Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-15-23 | Spurs v. Hornets UNDER 241.5 | Top | 110-120 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Spurs/Hornets. Both of these teams have been playing to some higher-scoring games of late, but I think that's just pushed this particular total on Wednesday night a few points higher than it normally would or should be. These teams actually played against each other all the way back at the start of the year on October 19th and Charlotte won that game by a score of 129-102. The total actualy went OVER the number of 221 in that contest. Now we fast forward to the final portion of the first half of the season and this total is now set over 20 points higher than in their first matchup. Of course, that was then and this is now. Scoring is up around the league since then and these over/under lines are now sky high. But as I was saying, I think there's every reason to believe that this rematch will be more of a defensive affair and really I see them finishing with a similar final combined score as what they had in that first game. San Antonio of course is really struggling. Its lost 13 in a row. It's only managed a total of 215 points in its last two road losses. I say that points will be at a premium again for the Spurs on Wednesday night. Charlotte finally broke a seven game slide with an explosive 144-138 win over the Hawks, but during their skid, offense was a major issue for the Hornets. I think an immediate return to mediocrity is in store here for Charlotte as well. Neither team plays much defense, but both have been struggling to score. I think this number is just a little TOO high, so the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-15-23 | Alabama v. Tennessee -2.5 | Top | 59-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* SEC GOM on Tennessee. I think that this is one favors No. 10 Tennessee at home. Alabama is No. 1 and it's led by Brandon Miller. The Tide are 22-3 and 12-0 in SEC action. They won for the 12th time in their last 13 games in a 77-69 victory at Auburn on Saturday. Miller leads the way most nights for the Tide with 18.8 points and 8.2 boards per game, but he saw his streak of 15 straight games in which he made a 3-pointer come to an end last time out. Alabama is winning despite not getting the best play out of its best player. Tennessee has taken a bit of a step back of late, but that fact only adds fuel to the fire for a better performance here. The Volunteers are still 19-6 overall this year and 8-4 in league play, but clearly the Vols are going to be eager to get back on track after back-to-back one-point losses. First losing 66-65 at Vanderbilt, before dropping an 86-85 contest to Missouri on Saturday. Tennessee did overcome a 17-point second half deficit in the latest loss and while the Volunteers did come up short, I think they can keep that momentum rolling here to open up this game as well. These teams haven't played since 2021 and Alabama won that one by a score of 73-68. It's a bit of a revenge game here for Tennessee. The Vols are the more motivated team after back-to-back one point heartbreakers, and they're playing at home. Give me the VOLUNTEERS to cover this manageable spread. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-14-23 | Penguins -143 v. Sharks | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
This is a 10* NHL GOM on the Penguins. San Jose returns home from a seven-game road trip, which was sandwiched around the NHL All Star Game. The Sharks have won three of their last four, but after a 4-1 victory in the Nation's capital on Sunday, I'm expecting a letdown here in their first game back at home in three weeks. It's a classic "letdown" spot for teams after being on the road for an extended time, and especially if the trip was a success. No such luxury for the Penguins though, who had their two-game win streak snapped in a humbling 6-0 loss at LA on Saturday night. But with two whole nights off to digest that pathetic effort, and with a chance to avenge a 6-4 home loss to San Jose on January 28th as a -240 favorite, I think Pittsburgh offers up great value from a "situational" stand point here, despite being a mid-sized favorite on the road. I'm a contrarian at heart, but I don't follow any single methodology when handicapping, and have always felt that being flexible with your approach is the best way to secure profits over the long-term. So while this will be a public play, I still really like Pittsburgh here to deliver the goods. This is a play up to -180. Play on PITTSBURGH. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-13-23 | Magic v. Bulls OVER 225.5 | Top | 100-91 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
This is a 10* EAST-CONF TOM on the OVER Magic/Bulls. Orlando is just 1-2 in its last three after a 107-103 OT loss at home to Miami. It's seen the total go UNDER in four straight, but note that the Magic have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERs in a row. The Bulls are desperate here to snap a three-game slide. They've seen the total go UNDER in four straight as well. The Magic play with revenge here though after a 128-109 loss to the Bulls at the end of January, and that's signficant to note here, as Orlando has seen the total go OVER the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss of 15 or more points. These are two teams in dire need of a victory here and we can anticipate a frantic, wide-open "shootout." This number is low, the play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-13-23 | Delaware State v. Norfolk State UNDER 140.5 | Top | 58-97 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
This is a 10* MEAC TOY on the UNDER Delaware State/Norfolk. As primarily a "situational" handicapper, I think this one really does set up well to be a lower-scoring defensive battle. These teams have been playing to so many OVERS of late, that this O/U line is now a few points higher than it normally would/should be. Norfolk has seen the total go OVER the number in eight straight games. That run of OVERS started with a 78-65 win over Delaware State. Note that the Hornets have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. The Hornets only average 64.7 PPG, so the last thing they can do is turn this into a "shootout" in their revenge bid this evening. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-13-23 | Miami-FL v. North Carolina -4.5 | Top | 80-72 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* ACC GOY on UNC. Miami is 20-5, and UNC is 16-9. The Hurricanes one weakness this season has been their play on the road, where they're a pedestrian 5-4 so far. The Tar Heels have not lived up to their lofty expectations before the season started, but they've consistently been at their best in front of the home town crowd with an 11-1 record. Miami has won four straight, but note that the Hurricanes are just 3-6 in their last nine after three or more straight SU wins in a row. The Tar Heels are the hungrier team here after snapping a three-game skid with a convincing win over Clemson. Miami doesn't matchup well against UNC big man Armando Bacot. The Hurricanes only rank 126th in defensive efficiency. Look for UNC to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish and to pull away for the comfortable win and cover once the final horn blares.

02-12-23 | Chiefs v. Eagles -1.5 | Top | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 221 h 60 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Eagles. I like the Eagles' defense, and I feel that Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense have struggled against good pass rushing teams. I also think that the Kansas City defense is the weakest unit on the field of play today. These teams are evenly matched, but Phillies' superior defense will ultimately prove to be the difference in the end. Lay the short points, the play is PHILADELPHIA. Good luck, NP |

02-12-23 | Chiefs v. Eagles UNDER 50.5 | Top | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 220 h 19 m | Show |
This is a 10* SUPER TOTAL on the UNDER Chiefs/Eagles. The big game, and each offense will be leaning heavily on its run game to alleviate the pressure off these two dynamic QB's. Each has been injured over the last month, and they'll be cautious to limit their mistakes. These are two of the best defenses in the league. I believe the Eagles' pass-rush will slow down Mahomes here. With each side committed to establishing its run game like I believe, I'm expecting a lower-scoring UNDER in this year's Super Bowl. Good luck, NP |

02-12-23 | Youngstown State v. Cleveland State +2.5 | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
This is an 8* WALLET-EXPANDER on Cleveland State. The outright win is definitely in the cards, but in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can. Youngstown State is 20-6, most recently coming off an 81-72 road win over Purdue Fort Wayne. Cleveland State is 15-11 and coming off an inspiring 57-55 home win over Robert Morris. The Penguins average 83.5 PPG, while allowing 72.7. The Vikings are averaging 70.4 PPG, while allowing just 67.2. The Vikings also rank 29th in the country in offensive rebounds, with 10.7 per game. The Penguins rank 193rd, with 8.3. The home team has covered in five of the last seven between these teams and I expect that strong trend to continue here. Grab the points, the play is CLEVELAND STATE. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Grand Canyon v. Seattle University UNDER 140.5 | Top | 58-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
This is a 10* WAC TOY on the UNDER Grand Canyon/Seattle. Sets up really well from a number of different angles to bea lower-scoring battle. Grand Canyon is 16-8, but it's just 3-4 on the road. It's played to TEN STRAIGHT "overs" and I believe that's definitely helped in driving tonight's O/U line with Seattle a few points higher than it normally would/should be. The Antelopes beat Seattle 78-66 earlier in the season, and the total went OVER the number of 139.5 in that one. Note though that Seattle (17-8, 10-1), has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. This number is high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Bulls +5.5 v. Cavs | Top | 89-97 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
This is a 10* REVENGE BOOKIEKILLER on the Bulls. Chicago comes in hungry here after starting its road trip 0-2 SU/ATS. I like betting on motivated teams obviously. The Bulls do indeed play with the revenge factor here after a frustrating 145-134 OT loss at Cleveland as four-point dogs back on January 2nd. As note, Chicago is a near-perfect 6-1 ATS in its last seven in trying to avenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent. In fact, the Bulls fell 103-102 at home to Cleveland two nights previous to that stunning OT victory, meaning that this is in fact a "double revenge" scenario. Cleveland comes in on the other end of the spectrum, off five straight SU/ATS victories in a row. I think the Cavs will have their hands full here tonight finally though and in a contest that I see being decided by whichever team has it hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. The play is CHICAGO. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Heat +0.5 v. Magic | 107-103 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* DESTRUCTION on the Heat. The Heat come in off back-to-back wins, but they've lost four straight ATS. Note that Miami is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after three or more ATS losses in a row. Orlando is off a 115-104 home win over Denver, but I think it gets caught flat-footed here vs. this determined Heat side. Miami beat Orlando 110-105 in the last matchup, unable to cover the large 8.5-point spread, but tonight's is much more manageable obviously. Lay the short points, the play is the HEAT. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Princeton v. Dartmouth +8 | Top | 76-83 | Win | 100 | 5 h 35 m | Show |
This is a 10* IVY LEAGUE GOY on Dartmouth. Princeton is a bit over-priced here. I think that it stumbles here on the road just enough to allow the hungry home side to comfortably cover with the healthy spread that it's been afforded in this one. The Tigers are off back-to-back SU/ATS home wins, but in their last road game they fell 87-65 at Yale as three-point underdogs. I like Big Green here. They're coming off two straight SU/ATS home losses, but when they played at Princeton on January 21st, they lost 93-90 in OT as 12-point underdogs. I think the stage is now set for a very tight battle. I'm not calling for the outright, but I expect this one to come "down to the wire." Grab the points, the play is DARTMOUTH. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Penn State +8.5 v. Maryland | Top | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 3 h 3 m | Show |
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Penn State. Penn State won't be going down without a fight here today. The Nittany Lions are a thorn in everyone's side this year in the Big Ten, as you can't let your guard down with this deep team. Penn State has an extremely efficient offense, that averages 115.4 points per 100 possessions. Maryland WAS riding a four-game win streak before a 63-58 loss to the Spartans. I say the Terps are vulnerable here, and while I won't call for the outright, I'm indeed expecting an all out battle until the final horn. Grab the points, the play is PENN STATE. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-10-23 | Akron v. Ohio UNDER 142 | Top | 81-90 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* MAC TOM on the UNDER Akron/Ohio. Both sides have been playing to several higher-scoring contests of late, but everything points to a very defensive affair here tonight finally in my opinion. Akron is 17-7 overall, but just 4-3 on the road. Ohio is only 13-11 overall, but it's 10-1 at home. Akron is off an 84-74 loss to Toledo as a two-point fav. Note though that the Zips have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten off an upset home loss as a favorite. Ohio has now won back-to-back games. It's seen the total go OVER the number in six of its last seven. Four of their last five vs. each other have gone OVER the number, but I expect this to be a competitive affair, and a much tighter and more defensive one finally than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. This number is high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-10-23 | Knicks v. 76ers -5.5 | 108-119 | Win | 100 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* ATS BLOWOUT on the 76ers. This is a public play, which I don't typically play on, but there's always exceptions to every rule. This one sets up really for the Philadelphia to exact a little revenge from an earlier loss in my opinion. The Knicks have actually been good on the road this year, entering with a 16-11 record. After back-to-back wins though, including a 108-97 victory over the 76ers at home on February 5th, I expect a predictable letdown here now. After this the Knicks return home for a much more "winnable" game vs. the Jazz, and I believe they get caught "looking ahead" for sure. Philadelphia is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss vs. an opponent as the favorite. Lay the points, the play is PHILADELPHIA. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-10-23 | Iona v. Canisius +12 | Top | 80-59 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on Canisius. I'm not predicting an outright win, but I think that 16-7 Iona comes in a bit complacent here, and the revenge-minded home side keeps it close down the stretch. Iona comes in off three straight wins, most recently a 70-61 road victory at Fairfield as a seven-point favorite. Now it's a double-digit favorite, and I just think this spread has ballooned a few points higher than it normally would/should be. Canisius is off five straight losses, but note that the Golden Griffins are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after five or more SU losses in a row. And as I mentioned, they play with revenge here as well after a 90-60 loss at Iona earlier in the season, and note that Canisius is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. With a much more high-profile game at 13-9 Niagara in two nights, this also sets up as a look-ahead spot for the visiting side. No outright, but MUCH closer than expected. Grab the points, the play is CANISIUS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-09-23 | Bucks v. Lakers +5.5 | Top | 115-106 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 29 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Lakers. The Lakers have lost two straight, and they've dropped three straight ATS. Note though that LA is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after three more ATS losses in a row. LA actually beat the Bucks 133-129 in MIlwaukee back in December, but I'm not reading too much into the revenge factor here. The Lakers have two tough road games after this one, so I expect LA to buckle down here in friendly confines tonight. Conversely, the Bucks face the Clippers here tomorrow night, so I believe they get caught looking ahead. The outright is possible again, but let's grab the points. The play is the LAKERS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-09-23 | Tenn-Martin v. Eastern Illinois UNDER 149.5 | Top | 75-77 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 10* OHIO VALLEY TOY on the UNDER Tennessee Martin/Eastern Illinois. Situationally, this one definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair here between these usually high-scoring offensive clubs. Tennessee Martin is 15-10 overall this year, but just 3-9 on the road. It's seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, which is significant to note here, as the Skyhawks have in fact seen the total go UNDER in five of their last six after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Tennessee Martin beat Eastern Illinois by a score of 91-78 in January, and the total blasted past the posted number of 142 in that one. Today's total is much higher, and it's a clear over-reaction in my opinion, as additionally hnote that the Panthers have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent. Look for this to be a much more defensive affair than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-09-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Devils -158 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
This is a 10* NON-CONF GOY on the Devils. If any team was "due" for regression in the second half, I think you could make an argument that both of these sides could fit in that category. That said, I think Seattle is STILL getting too much respect here on the road, because of its crazy road record it posted over the first half. Seattle lost 4-0 at the Islanders in its first game back from the break, and I think the Kraken will have their hands full here vs. this revenge-minded Devils side which fell 5-4 in OT in Seattle earlier in the season. New Jersey held on for a 5-4 OT win over the Canucks three nights ago, and I think the well-rested Devils are indeed "undervalued" in this spot here at home. The play is NEW JERSEY. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-08-23 | Wild v. Stars -131 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
This is a 10* BLOOD-BATH on the Stars. Off a 3-2 loss at Arizona, and with a game at home tomorrow night vs. Vegas, I think Minnesota is ripe for the picking here. Dallas went into the break on a three-game slide, but it opened with a 3-2 shootout victory over the Ducks in the first game back. With a couple nights off after this, before a home game vs. the Lightning, this is one that definitely favors the home side. This line could/should in fact be much larger. Great value here on DALLAS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-08-23 | Hornets v. Wizards -5 | Top | 104-118 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Wizards. Two struggling teams here, but ultimatley I think that the home floor advantage will turn out to be the difference in this one. The Hornets are just 15-40 overall, including only 8-23 on the road. The Wizards are 24-29 overall, including 12-12 at home. The Hornets have lost four straight and have lost three straight against the spread. Washington had won six straight, both straight up and against the spread, before now suffering three straight losses both straight up and ATS. The most recent was a 114-91 home loss to Cleveland, but that's significant to note as the Wizards are 7-3 against the spread in their last ten off a SU/ATS home loss in which they were held to 95 or fewer points in. This is a REVENGE spot for Washington as well, which lost 117-116 as a four-point favorite at Charlotte back at the start of December. I think there are enough positive reasons working in favor of the Wizards on Wednesday to pull the trigger on this one. The play is WASHINGTON. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-08-23 | Bryant v. Albany +9 | Top | 87-62 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* AMERICA EAST GOY on Albany. Bryant is 15-8, but just 5-5 on the road. It's coming off back-to-back home victories, but in its last road game it fell 84-67 at Binghamton as a 7.5 point favorite. I just don't trust the Bulldogs on the road. Albany is only 6-19, but it's 3-5 at home. It plays with revenge here after falling 86-69 at Bryant back in January. The Great Danes have lost seven straight, both SU and ATS, but that fact has only helped in bumping up their spread a few points higher than it normally would/should be. And note, Albany is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. No outright, but expect this one to come "down to the wire." The play is ALBANY. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-07-23 | Drake v. Murray State UNDER 140.5 | Top | 92-68 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
This is a 10* MISSOURI VALLEY TOY on the UNDER Drake/Murray State. Murray State is 13-11, and Drake is 19-6. Murray State has seen the total go OVER the number in nine straight, but that fact has only helped in driving this total with Drake a few points higher than it normally would/should be. Note that the Racers are off a humbling 99-56 loss at Indiana State as seven-point dogs. That's important for us to note, as Murray State has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 off a SU/ATS road loss in which it was held to 59 or fewer points in. Drake has won five straight. It's gone to OT in each of its last two games and won and covered in each. It's seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, but note that the Bulldogs have seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Expect a highly competitive, but lower-scoring UNDER in this one. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-07-23 | Hawks v. Pelicans UNDER 236.5 | Top | 107-116 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Hawks/Pelicans. The Hawks have seen the total fly OVER the number in four of their last five, but I'm expecting a more defensive affair here finally. Atlanta enters off a 128-108 road loss at Denver. The night before the Hawks won 115-108 in Utah, against a Jazz team that owns a Top 3 offense. I'm expecting a similar final combined score in this one as well. New Orleans comes in off back-to-back high-scoring wins. The Pels have also seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five. But after holding the Kings to jsut 104 points last time out, I'm expecting another gritty defensive performance here as well from the home side. This number is just a bit high now, so the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-07-23 | Avalanche v. Penguins -107 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on the Penguins. A "pick em" here, but I think the Avs get caught looking ahead to their matchup in Tampa Bay up next. The Pens come out fired up and ready to make a statement here in the second half vs. the defending champs. Great value here on PITTSBURGH. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-06-23 | Texas +4 v. Kansas | 80-88 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER Texas. Kansas has played a tough schedule, but it's lost four of its last six games. The Longhorns have struggled in Lawrence over the years, but here's the perfect moment to pull off an upset. The Longhorns already have conference road wins over K-State, WVU, Oklahoma and OKS. They average 79.9 PPG (No. 1 in the conference), and they have the best scoring margin at +11.8 PPG. The outright is possible, but grab the points with TEXAS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-06-23 | Florida A&M v. Prairie View A&M -10 | Top | 45-75 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show |
This is a 10* SWAC GOM on Prairie View A&M. Two poor teams, but I say that home floor advantage turns out to be the difference-maker. Florida A&M is just 5-15, while Prairie View A&M is 8-15. The Panthers have the best defense in the conference, and I don't trust A&M's offense to produce anything on the road. This line should in fact be larger. The play is PRAIRIE VIEW A&M. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-06-23 | Celtics v. Pistons OVER 229.5 | Top | 111-99 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL OF WEEK on the OVER Celtics/Pistons. Detroit has lost seven of its last ten. It's seen the total go UNDER in four straight, but note that the Pistons have seen the total go OVER in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row. The Pistons not surprisingly play with revenge her after falling 117-108 at home to Boston back in November. The total "pushed" on that one, but I'm expecting a much more wide-open affair here. Boston is off the 106-94 home loss to Phoenix. Note that the Celtics have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 after a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite in which they were held to 99 or fewer points in. All signs point to a "run and gun shootout," so the play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-05-23 | Penn State v. Nebraska +5 | Top | 63-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG TEN GOY on Nebraska. Penn State is 14-8, but only 1-5 on the road. Nebraska is only 10-13, but it's 7-3 at home. The Huskers play with revenge here after falling 76-65 at Penn State as eight-point dogs back in January. Note that Nebraska is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. The play is NEBRASKA. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-05-23 | Wichita State v. Tulsa +6 | Top | 86-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
This is a 10* REVENGE BK on Tulsa. I think an outright is possible, but I'll suggest grabbing the points. This is indeed a "revenge" game for Tulsa, which fell 73-69 at Wichita State on January 14th. It was an "easy" cover for the Golden Hurricane, who had ten-points afforded to them. Wichita State has had success for bettors on the road this season, but I expect that streak to come to an end here with a date at UCF up next after this to look ahead to. Grab the points, the play is TULSA. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-05-23 | Magic v. Hornets OVER 234.5 | Top | 119-113 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
This is a 10* SOUTHEAST TOY on the OVER Magic/Hornets. Here's a game in which both teams will feel they can win. Orlando is 21-32, but just 8-19 on the road. The Magic went 1-1 in Philadelphia earlier in the week, and then beat Minnesota 127-120. I expect the Magic to keep that offensive momentum rolling here. Charlotte is 15-39, including 7-16 at home. The Hornets are off three straight losses, which is important to note here for our total, as note that Charlotte has seen the total go OVER the number in seven of its last ten after three or more SU losses in a row. Look for this faster-paced divisional affair to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-04-23 | St Francis PA +3.5 v. Merrimack | Top | 66-70 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
This is a 10* NORTHEAST GOY on St. Francis PA. In a contest that I see being decided by whichever of these teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. St. Francis PA is only 8-14, including just 1-11 on the road. The good news though is that Merrimack is just 8-16 this season, including only 4-6 at home. The Red Flash have lost three straight, both SU and ATS, and that's important to note in our case here, as St. Francis PA is in fact 7-2 ATS in its last nine after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. When these teams last played last season, Merrimack scored the 65-64 road win. We can absolutely expect another competitive "nail-biter" here as well. Merrimack only averages 58.9 PPG, while St. Francis PA averages 73.3. The difference comes on the defensive end obviously, but that said, the Red Flash catch a big break today on that end of the court. I do think an outright win is possible, but in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can with ST. FRANCIS PA. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-03-23 | Blazers +4 v. Wizards | Top | 124-116 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Blazers. This is a great spot for the Blazers, who have now won four of their last five. Damian Lillard is on fire, and with a game at the Bulls the following night, I expect Portland to leave everything on the floor here. Conversely, the Wizards will get caught "looking ahead" to their game at Brooklyn on Saturday in my opinion. Washington has won six straight SU/ATS including four straight on the road. Suffice it to say, after enjoying three whole nights off, I finally expect the Wiz to have a letdown here. Letdown + look-ahead = TRAP GAME. The play is the BLAZERS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-03-23 | VCU v. St. Louis OVER 141 | Top | 73-65 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
This is an A-10 TOY on the OVER VCU/Saint Louis. Both teams have been playing to several UNDERS of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening. VCU is 8-2 in its last ten, but it's coming off three straight UNDERs (which is actually very signficant for us to note here, as the Rams have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERs in a row), while Saint Louis is 7-3 in its last ten, and it's seen the total go UNDER the number in two straight. This is the first matchup of the season between the teams, but last March Saint Louis won by a score of 69-65. We can expect a much faster pace here though between two of the top in the Conference. VCU averages 70.4 PPG, while Saint Louis averages 76.2. Look for the tempo of this one to help in pushing this total OVER the number sooner, rather than later. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-02-23 | Grizzlies v. Cavs OVER 225.5 | Top | 113-128 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
This is a 10* NON-CONF TOM on the OVER Grizzlies/Cavs. I expect this non-conference matchup to be less intense defensively than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. The Grizzlies are just 1-6 in their last seven after last night's 122-112 loss at the Blazers. Look for the Grizz to be a bit fatigued here in the second game of the back-to-back. Memphis has seen the total UNDER in seven straight, which is working in our favor here, as I believe this O/U line is now a few points lower than it normally would/should be because of it. Cleveland has seen the total go UNDER in five of its last six. That includes in its 100-97 loss to Miami as a four-point fav last time out. Note though that the Cavs have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 off a SU/ATS loss as a favorite and being held to 99 or fewer points in. Look for these two teams to play to a wide-open, high-scoring shootout; the play is "over!" Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-02-23 | North Florida +7.5 v. Jacksonville | Top | 76-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
This is a 10* ASUN GOY on North Florida. This the opener of a home and home set for North Florida and Jacksonville. While I'm stopping short in calling for an outright upset, I do believe that this contest will come "down to the wire." North Florida has lost three straight both SU and ATS. Note though that it's 7-2 ATS in its lasrt nine after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. The Ospreys average 75 PPG, while the Dolphins average 65. Jacksonville makes up for it on the other end, allowing just 62.2 PPG. Jacksonville has been trading ATS wins and losses over its last ten games though, and after a 74-64 win over Central Arkansas last time out, I believe this strong pattern continues here. This is a bit of TRAP game for the home side. Grab the points, the play is NORTH FLORIDA. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-02-23 | High Point +8.5 v. North Carolina-Asheville | Top | 63-89 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG SOUTH GOM on High Point. I'm not calling for the outright win, but I think this sets up well for the revenge-minded High Point Panthers, who lost to UNC Asheville 76-72 at home as two-point favorites back on January 4th. Note that High Point is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent. The Panthers are bad, but they're a bit undervalued here after three straight SU/ATS losses in a row. Note though that High Point is also 6-2 ATS in is last eight after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. UNCA is 8-0 SU its last eight, but this is a few too many points to be giving up here in my opinion. I say these teams play to another competitive and tight battle here as well. Grab the points, the play is HIGH POINT. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
02-01-23 | Kings v. Spurs OVER 244.5 | Top | 119-109 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 21 m | Show |
This is a 10* WESTERN CONFERENCE TOM on the OVER Kings/Spurs. Sacramento is the highest scoring team in the league, averaging 119.5 PPG. It has to keep the pedal to the metal offensively most nights, as the Kings are conceding 116.8 PPG, ranked 22nd. The Kings though enter having seen the total go UNDER the number in four straight games. Sacramento though has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row. San Antonio comes in hungry to snap a six-game slide. It's coming off a 127-106 home loss to Washington. Note though that the Spurs have seen the total eclipse the posted number in nine of their last 12 after five or more SU losses in a row. When these teams played in January, the Kings won by a score of 132-119. I believe we'll see a similar final combined score here as well. This number is low, the play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |

02-01-23 | Hurricanes v. Sabres +1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -165 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 6* PUCKLINE PUNISHER on the Sabres. A great spot wager here on Buffalo. Carolina needed three goals in the third period to tie it up at home with the Kings last night. Carolina was lucky to escape witha 5-4 OT win, but I believe the Canes will be predictably fatigued here. Here's a great opportunity for the Sabres to exact a little revenge after falling 5-3 to Carolina in early November. The Sabres had their five-game win streak snapped in a 3-2 shootout loss at home to the Wild, but all signs point to them taking full advantage of this opportunity. The outright is possible, but I still feel we're getting tremendous value here laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The play is BUFFALO on the PUCKLINE option. Good luck, NP |

02-01-23 | Samford -4.5 v. Western Carolina | Top | 85-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* SOUTHERN GOY on Samford. I think Samford should be a bigger favorite in this matchup. It's 14-9 overall, while Western Carolina is 12-11. The Bulldogs are tough on both ends of the court, averaging 78.3 PPG, while allowing 71. The Catamounts have been decent as well, averaging 74.7 PPG, and conceding 69.2. The favorite is 7-3-1 ATS the last 11 in this series. Samford is 0-3 ATS in its last three, but that's signficant to note as well, as the Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last five after three or more straight ATS setbacks in a row. Samford is the better team, and it won't be looking past the Catamounts. I expect the Bulldogs to keep the foot on the gas until the final buzzer sounds. Lay the points, the play is SAMFORD. Good luck, NP |

01-31-23 | Pelicans +8 v. Nuggets | Top | 113-122 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 42 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Pelicans. I'm not predicting an outright upset, but I do believe that the conditions are correct for a much tighter game than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. The Pels have fallen on hard times over the last month, but I expect them to dig deep here and keep it competitive throughout. One angle to note is, the Pels play with revenge here after a tight 99-98 home loss as 3-point dogs to the Nuggets just last week. While they covered the spread, still note that New Orleans is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU home loss against an opponent in which it was held to 99 or fewer points in. After an extended winning the run, Denver has cooled off a bit over the last week, going just 2-2 in its last four. It's off a l26-119 loss at Philly most recently. With a couple nights off after this before a home game vs. the defending champs, I say the Nuggets get caught "looking ahead" here as well. As I said, no outright or anything, but this one will come "down to the wire." Grab the points, the play is NEW ORLEANS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Senators v. Canadiens +1.5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
This is a 10* PL BOB on the Canadiens. I think a great situational play here. The Senators just beat the Habs 5-0 at home. Note that Montreal is 8-2 in its last ten in trying to avenge a shutout loss against an opponent in which it allowed five or more goals in. Ottawa has won three straight, but note that the Sens are just 1-4 in their last fie after a three games or longer unbeaten run. Ottawa is still just 9-12-1-1 on the road this year and I simply do not trust the Sens to continue this unrealistic streak, despite the overall short length of it. In a contest that I anticipate will be decided late, or even in extras, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The play is MONTREAL on the PUCKLINE option. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Ball State v. Bowling Green UNDER 152 | Top | 69-60 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 10* MAC TOY on the UNDER Ball State/Bowling Green. Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I finally expect those trends to end this evening. Ball State is 14-7, but just 4-4 on the road. It's comig off an 87-69 wi over NIU. It's seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, but note that the Cardinals have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Ball State averages 75.6 PPG, while Bowling Green averages 78.1. The Green Falcons are off a 91-77 home loss to Toledo, which is significant for us to take note of, as BG has seen the total go UNDER the number in ten of its last 14 off a SU/ATS loss in which it allowed 90 or more points in. Expect the 10-11 home side to double down defensively today in trying to pull off the SU upset. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-30-23 | Jackson State +8 v. Southern | Top | 62-73 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
This is a 10* SWAC GOY on Jackson State. I'm not calling for an outright, but in a game that I see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. The Tigers are just 6-15, while the Jaguars are 10-10. So far Jackson State is averaging 6l6 PPG, while allowing 76.5. Despite going 2-1 SU in its last three, it's 0-3 ATS, which is signficant to note here as the Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight after three or more ATS losses in a row. Southern averages 75.3 PPG, while allowing 73.1. The Jaguars have been ATS covering "machines" of late, but I think this spread is now a little inflated. NOte that they are in fact just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after three or more ATS victories in a row. I expect a very competitive battle until the final moments, so I'm grabbing the points. The play is JACKSON STATE. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-30-23 | Kings v. Wolves OVER 236 | Top | 118-111 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Kings/Wolves. Here's a great situational play, combined with some great O/U trends. These two teams just played, and the Wolves won by a score of 117-110 here two nights ago as 1.5-point underdogs. Minnesota is easily playing its best basketball of the season right now with six wins out of its last seven games. It's seen the total go UNDER in three straight, which is signficant for us to note, as Minnesota has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row. The Kings have seen the total go OVER the number in seven of their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss as a favorite against an opponent. Sacramento has lost three of its last four, but it still remains the highest scoring team in the league averaging 119.5 PPG. Look for this faster-paced affair to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. The play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-30-23 | Blues v. Jets OVER 6 | Top | 2-4 | Push | 0 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Blues/Jets. Winnipeg needs a spark going into the All Star break, as it's lost three straight. most recently it was a 4-0 home loss to the Flyers. Note though that the Jets have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 off a shutout home loss. The Blues have lost four straight. But note that St. Louis has seen the total go OVER in four of its six after three or more straight losses in a row. The Jets beat the Blues 5-2 back in December, and I'm expecting another wide-open shootout here as well. This number is low, the play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-29-23 | Clippers v. Cavs -4.5 | Top | 99-122 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Cavaliers. I think this is a great spot for the Cavaliers to bounce back. They've split their last four games. They return home off a 112-100 loss at OKC, but they play with revenge here after a 119-117 loss as a four-point favorite in LA back in November. Note that the Cavs are 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss as a favorite against an opponent. The Clippers have for sure been playing better of late, but off a 120-113 home win over the Hawks just last night, expect fatigue to be a major factor for the visiting side this evening. As primarily a situational handicapper, this one does indeed set up perfectly for CLEVELAND in my opinion. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-29-23 | Bengals v. Chiefs | Top | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 149 h 17 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Chiefs money-line. Last week I took the Eagles, and thought we were getting great value, just based upon the "contrian" factor. Nearly 80% of the early public money was on the Giants, and that's the case here in this game as well with the Bengals. I don't blame the betting public for rushing to the window to bet on Joe Burrow, as the Bengals have been great this year. THeir defense is underrated. That said, I think the Chiefs' defense is also underrated. Especially at home. There could be some hesitation on some because of the health of Chiefs' QB Mahomes, but I think that only in fact has helped in driving the real value on the home side to win this game. So my official pick is to avoid the spread option here, and to just take KANSAS CITY on the MONEY-LINE option. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-29-23 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -122 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
This is a 10* EAST-CONF GOM on the Hurricanes. Two really good teams here, and it wouldn't be too difficult to write a convincing argument for either of these teams to win tonight. Boston though has lost two straight, and with one more home game vs. the Leafs before the All Star break, I say the Bruins come to Carolina deflated after last night's 4-3 OT loss at Boston. Carolina has won four straight, including back-to-back OT contests. The Canes play with revenge after a 3-2 loss to the Bruins in November. I think a great spot for the HURRICANES to exact a little revenge. This is a fantastic price here on Carolina at home and catching Boston in the second game of the B2B scenario. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-29-23 | South Florida v. SMU UNDER 146.5 | Top | 80-82 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
This is a 10* AAC TOY on the UNDER USF/SMU. As primiarly a situational handicapper at heart, these are the types of games that I wait for to come along each season. This one ticks all the boxes for me. Both teams need a win. USF is just 9-12, and SMU is just 7-14. Look for this competitiveness to translate into a tight, defensive affair here. USF has now seen the total go OVER the number in nine of its last ten, including six straight after a 79-76 OT loss at Temple. That's significant to note here though, as the Bulls have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 12 still after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row. SMU has played to three straight OVERS, and that's also important for us to take note of, as the Mustangs have seen the total go UNDER the number in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. This O/U line is now inflated a few points higher than it normally would/should be. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-29-23 | 49ers v. Eagles OVER 45.5 | Top | 7-31 | Loss | -110 | 146 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER 49ers/Eagles. These teams are genuinely very evenly matched. And the oddsmakers believe the same thing with the 2.5-point opening spread. Both teams possess awesome defenses, but I firmly believe that this NFC Conference Championship will be decided by the two men under center. Both Brock Purdy and Jalen Hurts are poised to "steal the show" in this one. One thing that San Francisco hasn't had to do much, is to "play from behind." That could very well be the case today. And if it's not, it just means that Hurts will be given the green light to open up the offense. This O/U line is a few points lower than it really could/should be in my opinion. The play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-28-23 | Clippers v. Hawks UNDER 234 | Top | 120-113 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Clippers/Hawks. I'm expecting a slower-paced here between these two non-conference opponents. Each team needs a victory, and I believe we'll see a very tight, lower-scoring affair, rather than a "run and gun" shootout. The Clippers are coming off four straight SU victories and they've seen the total go OVER in two in a row. Despite that though LA still only averages 110.7 PPG, ranked 28th. The Hawks beat the Clippers 112-108 at home at the start of January, and that total stayed UNDER the number of 233. I'm expecting a similar final combined score here as well. ATL has seen the total go OVER in four of its last five, including in a 137-132 win at the Thunder last time out. I think tonight's total is now a little TOO high though. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-28-23 | Bulls -140 v. Magic | Top | 128-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
This is a 10* ML REVENGE DESTRUCTION on the Bulls. CHicago has lost two straight on the road. Most recently it was an uninspiring 111-96 setback at Charlotte. The Bulls though are 7-2 ATS in their last nine off a SU/ATS loss as a favorite. Chicago plays with revenge here after falling 108-107 at home to the Magic as 8.5-point favs back in November. Note that the Bulls are 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent as a favorite. Orlando has won eight of its last ten ATS, including three straight. It's coming off the 110-105 road loss at Miami just last night and I believe it'll be fatigued. We're bypassing the spread, laying the price on the moneyline and expecting the BULLS to dig deep and deliver here. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-28-23 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Senators | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -146 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
This is a 10* PUCKLINE MONEY-TRAIN on the Canadiens. Honestly, I think this is a great spot for the Habs to steal a game outright, but the value ultimatley lies in grabbing the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. Montreal has lost two straight, so it won't be lacking motivation tonight. Most recently it was a 4-3 OT home loss to the Wings. This the opener of a home and home set, before the All Star game. I'm expecting a very competitive battle here, one that's going to be decided late. The Canadiens play with revenge as well after a 3-2 loss to Ottawa in December. The Sens have won two in a row, including a very satisfying 6-2 victory at Toronto just last night. Can anyone say "letdown" spot here?! Everything points to a tight battle, which could very likely see OT. The play is MONTREAL on the PUCKLINE. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-28-23 | UABÂ -3.5 v. Rice | 70-52 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* MONEY-BOMB on UAB. UAB is 14-7, but just 1-4 on the road. Rice is 15-5, and it's 10-2 at home. Despite that, I think that the Blazers are undervalued here. UAB has lost nine of ten ATS. That's skewed this line here finally in my opinion. The Blazers average 82.6 PPG, while allowing 71.3, while th eOwls average 80.7, while conceding 73.1. The favorite is 4-1 ATS the last five in this series, and I look for that near-perfect streak to continue. The play is UAB. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-28-23 | Maryland-Baltimore County +8.5 v. Vermont | Top | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 4 h 40 m | Show |
This is a 10* AE GOM on UMBC. UMBC has been trading ATS wins and losses for seven straight games, and off a 69-65 upset loss at NJIT last time out, I belive this pattern continues. NOte that UMBC is 3-1 ATS in its last four off an upset loss as a favorite. It's also 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent, which occured on January 1st, falling 74-61 to Vermont as a two-point home dog. Vermont is off three straight SU/ATS victories, which is significant to note here, as it's just 2-6 ATS in its last eight after three or more SU victories in a row. Despite Vermont's home record, I say this one favors the visitors. The play is UMBC. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Oakland v. Youngstown State UNDER 154.5 | Top | 73-77 | Win | 100 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 10* HORIZON LEAGUE TOTAL OF YEAR on the UNDER Oakland/Youngstown State. This one sets up to be a defensive affair from a situational stand point, but it's also backed by a couple of strong and relative O/U trends. Oakland is in need of wins as it comes to town 9-12. Youngstown State is 15-6. These teams played two weeks ago and the Penguins won by a score of 85-69 at Oakland, the total going OVER the number of 151.5 in that one. Tonight's total is a couple points higher, and now it's a little too high. Nte that Oakland has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent. Youngstown State is one of the highest scoring teams in the country, but after its five-game win streak was snapped in an 88-75 loss to Milwaukee, I'm expecting it to come out more focussed on the defensive end this evening vs. the offensively challenged Grizzlies. Note as well that the Penguins have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row. Expect a much tigher, and more defensive battle than what we saw between these schools in Oakland. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Devils v. Stars -135 | 3-2 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT on the Stars. I like the way this one sets up for the Stars. This is the final game for each team before the All Star break and I say it means a lot more to the Stars, who have lost back-to-back home games in OT. Dallas did beat New Jersey 4-1 back in December, but I say the "revenge" angle is negated here because of the overall situation. New Jersey had its two-game win streak snapped in a 6-4 loss at Nashville just last night, and I believe it'll just "go through the motions" here and go into the break as fast as possible. Look for the "hungrier" home side to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish here and lay the price with confidence. The play is DALLAS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Cavs v. Thunder OVER 225.5 | Top | 100-112 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the OVER Cavs/Thunder. Despite Cleveland playing just last night, a 113-95 win at Houston, I'm expecting a more wide-open affair here in Oklahoma City on Friday (note that the Cavs have seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five off a SU/ATS road win in which they held their opponent to 95 or fewer points in as well.) OKC had played to four straight UNDERS, before a 137-132 loss at home to the Hawks in their last outing. I say the Thunder keep the foot on the gas offensively here in this non-conference contest. The Thunder average 116.9 PPG, and I expect them to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish here. This number is a little low, the play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Arizona State v. Washington UNDER 145 | Top | 66-69 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
This is a 10* PAC 12 TOY on the UNDER ASU/Washington. This one sets up great to be a lower-scoring game from situational and trends based reasons. ASU has seen the total go OVER the number in six straight now after its most recent 77-69 loss to USC, but that's significant for us to note, as the Sun Devils have seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row. ASU beat Washington 73-65 at home as a 9-point favorite back on January 8th, and that total went OVER the number of 137.5 in that one. Tonight's total is a few points higher, and now just TOO high in my opinion. Note that the Huskies have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a road loss against an opponent. After playing to five straight OVERS themselves, I think tonight's total is indeed now inflated. Look for a hard-fought conference battle, but expect this competitive atmosphere to finally produce a lower-scoring UNDER in the end. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Flames | Top | 5-1 | Win | 130 | 14 h 46 m | Show |
This is a 10* PUCK-LINE PUNISHER on the Blackhawks. I just think the Flames are well over-priced here. Chicago is 6-4 in its last ten. It's off B2B losses, but it beat the Flames 4-3 at home in early January. I think the conditions are now right for another closely contested battle here in Calgary. The Flames are off back-to-back home wins, but most recently had to hold on for the 4-3 OT victory over Columbus. With a TOUGH five-game road trip starting in red hot Seattle tomorrow night, this also sets up as a "look ahead" spot for the home side. Great value here on CHICAGO on the PUCK-LINE option. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Pistons +9.5 v. Nets | Top | 130-122 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Pistons. Detroit's coming in off four straight SU/ATS losses in a row. Most recently it was a 150-130 setback at home to Milwaukee. The Pistons though are 7-2 AT in their last nine after a SU/ATS home loss of 20 or more points. They play with revenge here after a 124-121 loss to Brooklyn in December. The Nets are off a tiring 137-133 loss at Philly just last night and I believe they'll be fatigued here. And with upcoming games against the Knicks, Lakers and Celtics, this also sets up as a "look-ahead" spot for the home side. No outright, but expect this to be a very competitive game. A great situational play on the PISTONS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Utah State +7.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 75-85 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 37 m | Show |
This is a 10* MOUNTAIN WEST GOM on Utah State. Utah State will carry over its recent momentum here in my opinion after winning two straight. It's 16-4 overall and 5-2 in the MWM. SDSU has also won two in a row. The Aztecs are 8-1 in their last nine. In the Aggies most recent win, they came back from a seven-point half-time deficit to beat SJSU by a score of 75-74. In the end the Aggies would shoot 53.8 percent from the floor. Overall the Aggies average 80.6 PPG, while allowing 71.2. It's 3-2 on the road. SDSU is off a 70-60 win over Air Force, although the Aztecs shot only 42.6 percent from the floor. SDSU averages 75.1 PPG, while allowing 66.3. The Aztecs are 9-1 at home. I like UTAH STATE here, and I look for the Aggies superior offense to be the difference in the end. The play is UTAH STATE. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Grizzlies +3 v. Warriors | Top | 120-122 | Win | 100 | 15 h 4 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Grizzlies. I think the Grizzlies bounce back here and, at the very least, take this one right down to the final shot. Memphis comes in off three straight SU losses and four straight ATS losses. I say the bleeding finally stops here though in this revenge contest, after the Grizz fell 123-109 at home as 7.5-point favorites on Christmas Day (Grizz are 4-1 ATS in their last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite against an opponent.) Golden State is 17-6 at home, but it's coming off the 120-116 home loss to Brooklyn. That broke a string of three straight ATS victories. I say the more motivated team is the one that's going to win that game, and I say because of their recent three-game losing streak, coupled with the revenge angle does indeed make the Grizzlies the correct call here. Grab the points, the play is MEMPHIS. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Rangers v. Maple Leafs -150 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 8* SUPER SPECIAL on the Leafs. I think this is a good spot for Toronto. The Rangers have been trading wins and losses over their last five games, and off a 6-2 home win over Florida last time out, I expect this pattern to continue here. The Leafs play with revenge after a 3-1 loss in New York in mid-December. Toronto is 18-3-1-1 at home. It's won three straight home games, posting a combined 14 goals in those victories. I say TORONTO is well worth the price of admission in this one. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Clippers v. Lakers OVER 231 | Top | 133-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
I like the way this one sets up to be a higher-scoring OVER. Both teams have been playing much better over the last month. The Clippers are 25-24, while the Lakers are 22-25. The Pacific Division is wide open. Sacramento is 27-19, then it's the Clippers, followed by Phoenix at 24-24, then Golden State at 23-24, then the Lakers are now nipping at everyone's heels. The Lakers have won three of their last four. They're off the 121-112 road win at Portland, two nights after holding on for the 122-121 win over Memphis. Look for LBJ and company to keep their foot on the gas here on the offensive side. The Lakers also play with revenge after a 114-101 loss to the Clippers back in November. That total went well UNDER the number, but the Lakers have since found their offensive stroke so to speak. With revenge on their minds, look for the Lakers to really push the pace tonight. And for the Clippers, they're off back-to-back road wins, beating San Antonio by a score of 131-126 and then also at Dallas by a score of 112-98. These two teams typically play at different speeds, but I just anticipate the Lakers setting the tone tonight. I say this O/U line is now a few points TOO low. The play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Golden Knights +1.5 v. Devils | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 6* BIG-CHALK PUCK-LINE DESTRUCTION on Vegas. I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance here. New Jersey is without question the "surprise" team of the league this season. There's a few of them, but the Devils are for sure the biggest. Vegas was predicted to do well this year, and it has. However, it's struggled of late and off a 4-1 loss at Arizona last time out, I expect it to be much more focused here after that humbling experience. New Jersey is 7-3 in its last ten, but off a tough 2-1 OT win over Pittsburgh, its second straight OT game, I think it'll have its hands full here once again in a very competitive game. In a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extra time again, I'm laying the price on the puck-line option. The play is VEGAS on the PUCK-LINE. Good luck, NP |

01-24-23 | Bowling Green v. Central Michigan UNDER 148 | Top | 83-61 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER BG/CMU. Neither team is having a great season. CMU is 7-12 overall and 2-4 in league play. It's coming off a 96-68 loss at Ohio, but note that it's seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five off a SU/ATS loss in which it allowed 95 or more points in. BG is 9-10 and 3-3 in MAC action. It just broke a three-game slide with an 83-73 win at home over Miami Ohio. Central Michigan only averages 67.4 PPG. It plays at one of the slowest paces in the nation. Because it's at home here, we can expect it to set the tone. Bowling Green averages 77.9 PPG, but I don't see the visitors coming to close to reaching their offensive average tonight. This is a game that both teams will believe that it can win. Expect this competitive battle to be a tighter, lower-scoring one though. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |

01-23-23 | Blue Jackets v. Flames UNDER 6.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Blue Jackets/Flames. When these teams played on December 9th, Columbus scored the 3-1 upset victory as a +225 underdog. While the Jackets may not be able to duplicate that outright success here (+320 dog this time around!), I am definitely expecting another lower-scoring battle. Columbus has seen the total go OVER the number in two straight, including a 5-3 victory over San Jose most recently. Despite that tough the Jackets still only average 2.57 GPG, ranked 30th. The Flames are coming off a 6-3 win over Tampa Bay. Calgary though averages 3.11 GPG, ranked 19th. These teams play similar styles, and because of that, everything points to another exciting, but lower-scoring outcome between these clubs on Monday night. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |

01-23-23 | Wolves v. Rockets +6.5 | Top | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Rockets. I had a play on Houston in its most recent 113-104 loss in Minnesota on Saturday as an 8.5-point underdog. After that excruciating loss, I'm going back to the well here and will back the underdog home side, that's now lost nine straight against-the-spread. The Wolves have now won two straight and covered in three straight. That's significant to note here though, as Minnesota is just 1-4 ATS in its last five after three or more ATS victories in a row. With a much more high-profile game at New Orleans up next, I say the Wolves not only have a letdown here, but they also get caught "looking ahead." Grab the points, the play is HOUSTON. Good luck, NP |

01-23-23 | Chicago State v. Coastal Carolina UNDER 144.5 | Top | 74-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
This is a 10* NON-CONF TOW on the UNDER Chicago State/CC. Chicago State is just 4-16. That includes going 0-16 SU on the road. Despite having seen the total go OVER in three straight, note that Chicago State still only averages 66.8 PPG. Also note that it's in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Coastal Carolina is 2-1 over its last three games, and it's also seen the total go OVER the number in three straight. That includes in back-to-back OT contets. Suffice it to say, I'm not expecting another OT contest here. I'm not laying the points, but everything points to this O/U line being a few points higher than it should be. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |

01-22-23 | Cowboys +4.5 v. 49ers | Top | 12-19 | Loss | -120 | 76 h 51 m | Show |
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Cowboys. The Cowboys are fresh off their first road playoff win in almost 30 years and I think that Dak Prescott and company can keep the momentum rolling here. The Cowboys smashed the Bucs 41-23, while the 49ers hammered teh Seahawks 41-23. After ten straight wins though, I think San Francisco will finally suffer a letdown here in this big game. Only four rookie quarterbacks, Shaun King, Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco, and Mark Sanchez have ever made it to a conference title game and I don’t think Purdy is going to be the fifth. In a contest that I see being decided by whichever club has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. The play is DALLAS. Good luck, NP |

01-22-23 | Bengals v. Bills UNDER 49 | 27-10 | Win | 100 | 73 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8* TOTAL on the UNDER Bengals/Bills. 20 days before this game will be played, Damar Hamlin collapsed from a heart attack and the game between the Bengals and the Bills was cancelled. It's a big game obviously, with a lot on the line. Honestly, it would not be difficult to write a convincing argument for either of these teams to win. It's going to be a competitive battle, but the team that plays the best defensively is going to come out on top. These offenses are a "wash." These defenses are underrated. Both teams closed out the regular season with some high-scoring affairs, but I expect this particular game to be won today by field position and in the trenches. This number is high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP |

01-22-23 | Marist v. Mt. St. Mary's -3 | Top | 55-59 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on Mount St. Mary's. As primarily a "situational" handicapper, I like the way this one sets up for Mount St. Mary's. Both teams have struggled on both sides of the ball, but the home-court advantage, coupled with the immediate "revenge factor" makes the home side the correct call here. Marist did indeed beat Mount St. Mary's at home by a score of 63-56 as a 1-point favorite at the start of January. Note that Mount St. Mary's is 7-2-1 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent. Look for the home side to use the revenge angle as motivation today and lay the points with confidence. The play is on MOUNT ST. MARY'S. Good luck, NP |

01-21-23 | CS-Fullerton v. CS-Northridge OVER 126.5 | Top | 66-69 | Win | 100 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG WEST TOY on the OVER CSU Fullerton/CSU Northridge. This big play is for the most part a great "situational" selection. CSU Fullerton is 10-10, but just 2-7 on the road. It's coming off a 72-67 loss to LBSU. It averages just 69.8 PPG, but note that it had seen the total go OVER the number in two straight previous to that. Fullerton catches a break here facing CSU Northridge's defense today as well. the Matadors are struggling on both ends of the court this season at 3-16. They're 3-5 at home though. They only average 63.7 PPG. They're coming off a 72-52 loss at UC Santa Barbara, but that's significant to note here though as the Matadors have seen the total go UNDER the number in five of their last six after a SU/ATS loss of 20 or more points. The overall situation, combined with the above trend do indeed tip the scales in favor of a faster-paced, and higher-scoring affair here between these two hungry teams. This number is low, the play is the OVER. Good luck, NP |

01-21-23 | Florida v. Mississippi State -2 | Top | 61-59 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* SEC GOY on Mississippi State. The Gators are 10-8 SU, and they're coming off a 54-52 road loss to Texas A&M. The Bulldogs are 12-6, but just 1-5 in league action. They're coming off a 70-59 home loss to Tennessee. Neither team can be happy about its recent performance, but I say that home floor advantage ultimately turns out to be the difference-maker in this one. The Gators average 65.1 PPG, and allow 70.7, while the Bulldogs average 65.3 PPG, while conceding only 58.2. Florida can't be trusted on the road whatsoever. Look for the hungry home side to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish. The play is MISSISSIPPI STATE. Good luck, NP |

01-21-23 | Giants v. Eagles -7 | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 55 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 9* SIDE WINNER on the Eagles. I have gone on a couple of internet wagering shows this week, and if you saw me on there, then you saw me give out the Eagles. And now I'm making it official for my clients as well. This is the biggest contrarian play so far in the Playoffs, and I'm a contrarian handicapper. Philadelphia is better in every category, and the extra week off was huge to get Jalen Hurts back into playing shape. The Giants were near-perfect last weekend, but I can't see Daniel Jones putting together two perfect performances in a row. Especially here on the road in the playoffs. The Eagles outscored New York 70-38 in two regular season wins and I expect another betdown here as well. The play is PHILADELPHIA. Good luck, NP |

01-21-23 | Rockets +8.5 v. Wolves | 104-113 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 8* UNDERDOG DESTRUCTION on the Rockets. This is the opener of a home and home set between the clubs. I'm not calling for an outright upset, but I do like the way this one sets up to be a tighter game than what this spread is suggesting. The Rockets play with revenge after a 104-96 loss to Minnesota as 4-point underdogs at home at the start of the year. The Wolves are coming off a 128-126 upset win over Toronto as a 4-point dog, and I think a small mental letdown will happen here. Houston has lost eight straight ATS, but that fact has only helped in driving tonight's total a few points higher than it normally would/should be. A great overall "situational" play. No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points, the play is HOUSTON. Good luck, NP |
