01-17-22 | Harvard -1 v. Dartmouth | 60-59 | Push | 0 | 13 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Harvard. I like Harvard to cover the spread against Dartmouth in this game on Monday. Harvard has won 4 of their previous 5 games and they just won their most recent game on the road over Columbia. They looked good in that game, winning it by 9 points and putting up 90+ points in the game. Harvard has put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row and they have done it in 5 of their previous 6 games. I expect them to put up a lot of points on Dartmouth here since Dartmouth has not looked good in a lot of games this year and they are not the best on their home court either. Dartmouth has just 1 win in 10 games and they haven't looked good in their conference play this year. They just lost their most recent game to Penn by 10 points and they didn't even reach 70 points in that game. Dartmouth doesn't have a strong offense that scores a ton of points and I think that is going to hurt them in this game. Harvard has been putting up a lot of points in their games and I think Dartmouth isn't going to be able to keep up with them. Dartmouth has put up 70+ points in 1/5 games in their L5 and in most of those games they failed to even put up 60+ points. Dartmouth makes up for that with their play on defense but their defense isn't that great or they wouldn't be 4-10 this year. I don't think their defense is going to stop Harvard enough in this game and I expect Harvard to overpower them by putting up a lot of points. I like Harvard to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-63 Harvard. |

01-17-22 | Indiana -8.5 v. Nebraska | 78-71 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana. I like Indiana to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Monday. Indiana just lost their most recent game and that ended a run of 2 wins they had strung together. They lost on the road to a good Iowa team by 9 points and I think they are going to bounce back big in this game. Indiana is still looking for their 1st road win of the year and I expect them to get it here in a blowout fashion. Before their loss, Indiana had beaten Minnesota by 13 points and Ohio State by 16 points. Now they have Nebraska on their schedule and they are the worst team in the conference this year. Indiana has looked good in conference play lately and I expect them to continue that with a slaughter of Nebraska in this game. Indiana is still looking for their 1st road win but Nebraska is still looking for their 1st win in conference play and they have looked terrible this year in most of their games. They have lost 5 games in a row, all of them to conference teams, and their previous 4 losses in a row were all by 10+ points. They just got smacked by Purdue in their most recent game by almost 30 points and their most recent road game was a loss to Rutgers who is not even that great this year, and again they lost by almost 30 points. Indiana has actually looked good lately and they have some good wins to build off going forward. Nebraska is just an absolute mess and they have been all year. I like Indiana to bounce back in this game and get rolling again by covering the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 87-63 Indiana. |

01-17-22 | George Mason -5.5 v. George Washington | 76-77 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: George Mason. I like George Mason to cover the spread against George Washington in this game on Monday. George Mason has had a lot of rest and time to prepare for this game. They have only played 1 game between now and December 21st. They had experienced some postponed games after December 21st and did not hit the court again until January 1st. They had to dive right back into the action after 10 days of not playing and they had to face a top 10 team in the country too. That was a road game for them but they looked really good and held their own against Kansas only losing by 9 points. That was their last game played so again, they haven't played a game in over 2 weeks but I think they are going to be fine here. If they were able to come out and play the way they did against Kansas after no games for 10 days then I think they will be good against a much weaker team here. They have had plenty of time to prepare and this is also the start of their conference play this year so I expect them to come out strong in this game. They haven't been terrible on the road this year and they even have a road win over Georgia under their belt this year. George Washington has been playing games lately, their 2 most recent games were on January 8th and 11th and they lost both of those games, 1 at home and 1 on the road. They also lost both of those games by 20+ points and failed to score 60+ points in both games while giving up 80+ in both. I don't think George Washington is going to have the offense to beat George Mason here or cover the spread. George Mason had to play some good defense to keep that game with Kansas close and if George Washington isn't even hitting 60 points in their games lately, then I don't think it's going to happen here for them. I like George Mason to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-59 George Mason. |

01-17-22 | Pelicans v. Celtics -6.5 | 92-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Monday. The Celtics have looked good lately, they have 4 wins in their previous 5 games. They have also looked good on their home court this year and I expect them to continue playing well at home here. They have won 3 home games in a row and their most recent home game was a 2 point win against the Bulls who are currently leading the East. Marcus Smart will probably miss this game but he is the only player on the Celtics injury report and I think they have enough bench depth to cover his absence against the Pelicans. The Pelicans have not been good this year and they have looked really bad in their road games. They just lost their most recent game on the road to the Nets by 15 points and that ended the run of 2 wins in a row that they had strung together. Both of those wins came at home though and they have looked much worse in their road games lately. The Pelicans have lost 4 road games in a row and 2 of those games they lost by 15+ points. The Celtics haven't been clicking this year but they still have a lot of skilled players on their team and I think they should be performing a lot better than what they have been up to this point. I think it is only a matter of time until the Celtics start to get really hot and go on a big run. They have already looked much better lately and have been getting very healthy. I like the healthy Celtics team at home to cover the spread here. T.M. Selection: 115-95 Celtics. |

01-16-22 | Steelers v. Chiefs -12.5 | 21-42 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection : Kansas City Chiefs I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Pittsburgh Steelers in this game on Sunday. Pittsburgh has only won 4 of their last 9 and are extremely lucky to even be here. It took a miracle in the Jags beating the Colts week 18 when they were +15.5! Of course I had the Jags in that one. Leading up to this game, 39 year old vet, Big Ben Roethlisberger said to the media these exact words, "We are going to the #1 team that's won the AFC the last two years, arguably the best team in football, we don't have a chance." I know he's just trying to get in peoples head, but that definitely is not what you want to hear from your starting QB in a tight game at Arrowhead. The Chiefs come into this game red hot. Now 9-1 since the start of November. KC is also 6-1 in their last 7 games played against AFC opponents. We all know what KC QB Patrick Mahomes is capable of doing, and I fully expect a complete blowout tonight. Therefore, I like the Chiefs to cover easily here. T.M. Prediction: 21-3 (Half) --> 38-17 (Final) |

01-16-22 | Loyola Maryland -2 v. Lehigh | 69-57 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Loyola MD. I like Loyola MD to cover the spread against Lehigh in this game on Sunday. Loyola MD has won 4 games in a row now and they have all been games in their conference play. They won 1 of those games on the road by 8 points and the other 3 wins were on their home court. They have been getting hot in their games lately and I think they are going to extend their 4 game win streak with another win in this game. Loyola MD has been winning their games lately with good defense and I expect them to keep that up here on the road where they will need that defense. They have held the opposing team to less than 70 points in 3 games in a row and the last time they were playing on the road they held the opposing team to 58 points. Lehigh has won 2 games in a row too and they have been scoring a lot of points over their previous 4 games. They have put up 75+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games but they have also been giving up a lot of points in those games. I think Loyola MD has a better chance on the road here since they play defense better than Lehigh does and I expect that to be a factor here. Loyola MD will use their defense to slow down the pace here and not allow Lehigh to score a lot. I think Loyola MD can edge them out on the road, Lehigh has not been great on their home court anyway and they are only 4-4 this year. Lehigh has put together a nice little run in their games lately but I think that stops here. I like Loyola MD to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 68-61 Loyola MD. |

01-16-22 | 49ers +3.5 v. Cowboys | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 123 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Dallas Cowboys in this game on Sunday. The 49ers really stepped up and showed a lot of resilience this year. They had their back against the wall and were devastated by injuries all year, missing a lot of key starters on their offense and defense all year, but they stood strong and won 4 of their 5 final games of the regular season to finish with 10 wins and make it to this game. They finished off their season with a big OT win over the Rams when they had to win to get in. They were even losing that game 17-0 right before halftime and made a comeback to win it. Jimmy G looked a lot better in that game as long as he can stay healthy, they have a very dangerous offense under him. They also have a very good defense and their defense really stepped up in that game holding the Rams to just 7 points in the 2nd half. I think the 49ers are hot right now and the Cowboys have looked shaky in their games lately. They finished their regular season off with a big 51-26 win over the Eagles but the Eagles had already clinched and were resting a lot of players in that game. Before that game against the Eagles, the Cowboys had lost 3 games in a row against teams that have made the playoffs this year, the Cardinals, Raiders, and Chiefs. The Cowboys have only won 2/6 games played against teams in the playoffs this year. They won 5 of their previous 6 games to finish the season but 4 of those wins were against teams with either a losing record or didn't make the playoffs. I think the Cowboys have had a very weak schedule to finish the year and are not really as good as some of their scored suggest they are. The 49ers have played tougher teams in their final games and have still won 4/5 to finish the year. I think the 49ers defense will stunt the Cowboys here and I like Jimmy G to have a big day with this offense. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 26-23 49ers. |

01-15-22 | Lakers v. Nuggets -3.5 | 96-133 | Win | 100 | 15 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the LA Lakers in this game on Saturday. The Nuggets have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they just destroyed the Trail Blazers by 30+ points in their most recent game. Will Barton returned to action in that game after missing some time and he looked great, contributing to their offense with 21 points. I think having Barton back in their lineup will be a big boost for them and they should be able to take down the Lakers at home who are banged up for this game. The Lakers have already been missing Davis for a while now but there is a chance they will be missing Carmelo Anthony too and that is a lot of minutes that will need to be made up. The Lakers don't have the youngest team and as their season goes on the injuries start to pile up. The Nuggets have also been dealing with injuries all year but the Lakers have not looked that great on the road this year and the Nuggets have defended their home court well this year winning 2 games in a row by 10+ points in home games. They just put up 140 points on Portland in their most recent game which was also at home. The Lakers were on a run last week but that was ended by Memphis and they have lost 2 games in a row ever since then. Their most recent loss was on the road in Sacramento losing that game by 9 points. LeBron scored 34 points in that game and Monk scored 22 but there was not a lot of offense from any of their other starters. I think LeBron is going to need a lot more help in this game to win it and I don't think he is going to get that contribution from the players on his team. I think the Nuggets are going to outplay them here so I like the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-108 Nuggets. |

01-15-22 | Murray State +6.5 v. Belmont | 82-60 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Murray State. I like Murray State to cover the spread against Belmont in this game on Saturday. This is an important game for these 2 since they have very similar records and they both lead the conference, tied with Morehead State, with a 3-0 record in conference play. I think both teams will want to get the edge over the other so I expect this to be a close game where both teams fight hard the whole game. Murray State has won 3 games in a row and they are hot with their only loss coming to Auburn in their previous 11 games. They have won 3 in a row and 2 of those wins were by 20+ points. They have been good on the road this year and have found ways to grind out wins with their only road loss coming to Auburn. Belmont has won 8 games in a row and they are very hot at the moment but I think they are going to start cooling off soon and I think Murray State will be the team to stop them in their tracks. Belmont has been winning a lot of games lately but they haven't played the greatest teams either and I think they are going to get caught sleeping here. Belmont has won 3 games in a row in their conference play but they have played teams with losing records in all of those games. Murray State actually has a better record than Belmont has and I think they will offer much more of a challenge for Belmont here that they are not used to having played weak teams in their conference play. I think Murray State is going to be motivated for this game with a chance to get a lead in the conference and I expect them to at least keep this game close if they do not win it. I like Murray State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-72 Murray State. |

01-15-22 | Raiders v. Bengals -5.5 | 19-26 | Win | 100 | 99 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Saturday. I expect the Bengals to be much healthier for this game. They lost their final game of the regular season but they were resting a lot of players on both offense and defense in that game so I expect those players to be ready for this game. The Bengals looked good near the end of the season, finishing their year off strong with a 20 point win over the Ravens and a 3 point win over the Chiefs after being down by 11 points at halftime in that game. That game against the Chiefs was the last game that they had all of their starters in there and they looked really good. Their offense moved the ball well in that game, Mixon was tough to stop, Chase was impossible to cover, and Burrow led his offense down the field putting up 34 points. Their defense also clamped down in the 2nd half and only let the Chiefs put up 3 points in that half, allowing the Bengals to make their comeback and win. The Raiders got to this game in the craziest fashion with a win or go home scenario on Sunday night against the Chargers that almost tied and would have sent them both to the playoffs. Instead, The Raiders win by 3 points in OT and barely hang on in that game after leading 29-14 late in the 2nd half of that game. The Raiders defense collapsed near the end of that game but that is not the 1st time this year that we have seen them blow a big lead in the 2nd half of a game. The Bengals were able to pull that comeback off against the Chiefs and the raiders don't have a defense as good as the Chiefs do. I think the Raiders defense is going to fold in this game and will not have an answer for Burrow and Chase slinging it down the field. The Raiders have had so much happen to them off the field this year, it is a great story that they even made the playoffs at all with what they have gone through but I think it is the end of the road for Carr and the Raiders here. I think the Bengals have way more talent on their team and I expect them to come out and make a statement in this playoff game at home. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Bengals. |

01-15-22 | Seton Hall v. Marquette +1.5 | 72-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marquette. I like Marquette to cover the spread against Seton Hall in this game on Saturday. Marquette has won 3 games in a row now and they have looked much better in their games lately than how they looked a few weeks ago when they were losing all of those games. They were the 1st team in their conference to beat Providence who was on a huge run at the time, ending their 8 game win streak. Marquette has looked great ever since then with all of their wins on this run coming by 10+ points. I think they are going to continue their run now that they are hot and I expect them to pull off a big upset in this game. Seton Hall has not been at their best lately and I think they are going to run into a lot of trouble in this road game. They have struggled on the road this year and have lost 2/3 road games in conference play already. They lost their most recent game on the road to DePaul, they only lost that game by 4 points but they were down by almost 20 points in the 1st half and they looked terrible on the court. That was a really bad loss for them since it ended a 5 game losing skid for DePaul who had not won a game since early December before beating Seton Hall in that game. Seton Hall has 2 wins in 6 games and I think they are starting to slump a bit after going on such a great run earlier this year. Marquette is now the team that is getting hot with 3 wins in a row and I think they are going to continue that run into this game. I like Marquette to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-69 Marquette. |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Rockets v. Kings -5 | 114-126 | Win | 100 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Sacramento Kings. I like the Sacramento Kings to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Friday. The Kings had lost 5 games in a row but they just grabbed a win in their most recent game to break out of that funk, beating the Lakers at home by 9 points. I think the Kings are going to go on a bit of run now that they have a win under their belt again. They have played much better on their home court this year than on the road and they are in the middle of a home stand. Their 1st game of their home stand was a 1 point loss to a good Cavaliers team but they ripped a win from the Lakers in their next game. Now they have the Rockets 2 times in a row and then end their home stand with a game against the Pistons and I think with this very weak schedule, the Kings are going to take advantage of this stretch and get as many wins as they can here. The Kings haven't looked good this year but they are still a lot better than some of the other teams that lurk at the bottom of the standings. The Rockets are one of those teams lurking at the bottom, they have the worst record in the West. They just ended a 3 game losing skid with a win in San Antonio the other night but I think they put a lot of effort into that game on the road to win and I think they are going to be tired from it and not play as well here. That is also just their 2nd win in 13 games and they have looked really bad in most of those games. I think the Kings are going to step up here to get some wins with this easy stretch of their schedule knowing that they have to go on the road to play the Bucks, Celtics, Hawks, and 76ers after. I like the Kings to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-105 Kings. |

01-14-22 | Stars v. Panthers -1.5 | 1-7 | Win | 120 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers -1.5. I like the Florida Panthers on the puckline against the Dallas Stars in this game on Friday. The Panthers have been having a great year and they are 1 of the most complete teams in the league this year. They have the 2nd most points in the league and have won 2 games in a row. They only have 1 loss in 7 games and they have been putting a ton of pucks in the net lately. They have scored 4+ goals in 7 games in a row and I think they are going to keep that up in this game. They are even better when they play on home ice though and they have won 4 home games in a row by 3+ goals. They scored 5+ goals in all of those games and didn't give up more than 2 except for 1 game they gave up 3 goals but scored 9. I think they are going to continue to roll over teams at home like they have been doing all year. The Stars looked really good in their most recent game, beating the Kraken 5-2 on their home ice but this team looks completely different on the road and I think they are going to struggle in this road game against a team that is a lot better than they are. As well as the Stars have been playing lately, they have actually lost 5 games in a row on the road. In their 4 most recent road losses, they only scored 1 goal or less in every game. The Panthers are very good on both offense and defense and I don't think the Stars will be able to get by the Panthers defense here. I think their road scoring troubles are going to creep up on them here and the Panthers can score a lot too so I think the Stars are going to have a tough time keeping up with the goals in this game. I like the Panthers to win this game on the puckline. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Panthers. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Clippers v. Pelicans -3.5 | 89-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the LA Clippers in this game on Thursday. The Pelicans have been hot lately winning 2 of their previous 3 games. Their loss was to the Raptors by 4 points but that game was in Toronto and the Raptors have looked a lot better in their games lately. Their 2 most recent wins were over the Warriors and the Timberwolves though. They beat a Warriors team that was missing some players but their win over the Timberwolves was impressive as the T-wolves have been getting very healthy lately and have been stepping up with their play. Both of those wins came at home too and I think the Pelicans are going to continue their home win streak here and outplay the Clippers in this game. The Clippers have won 2 games in a row but I think they are going to be hurting in this game without Paul George in their lineup. They are also missing a few other players and I think that is going to hurt their chances on the road here. As bad as the Pelicans have been this year, they have been pretty good on their home court and almost have an even record at home. I think they have been picking up some steam in their games lately and I expect them to play well here on their home court. Ingram and Valanciunas have been playing well lately and I think they are going to be tough to stop with the players missing for the Clippers. I like the Pelicans to extend their home win streak here and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-99 Pelicans. |

01-13-22 | Seton Hall -5.5 v. DePaul | 92-96 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seton Hall. I like Seton Hall to cover the spread against DePaul in this game on Thursday. Seton Hall stumbled a bit around the turn of the new year but they have won 2 games in a row now and have looked much better as they broke out of their funk. They have played in 3 road games this year and have looked good in those games. Their only road loss was to Providence who currently have the best overall record in the Big East and that was a close game losing by 5 points. Their wins were on the road in Michigan and their most recent road win was at Butler by 15 points and they looked great in that game. DePaul has been struggling lately, they have lost 5 games in a row now and they haven't looked like the same team they were from before their covid layoff. Their last win was actually back on December 14, their next game after that wasn't until December 29 and they haven't won a game since before that 2 week break. All 5 games in a row they have lost have been in conference play too and I don't see that changing in this game. They have lost their 2 most recent games by 10+ points and their previous 2 games at home have also been losses by 10+ points. They look like they still haven't fully recovered from covid and I think Seton Hall is going to be looking to go on another big run now that they have strung 2 conference wins together. I like Seton Hall to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 78-64 Seton Hall. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Rockets v. Spurs -5.5 | 128-124 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Antonio Spurs. I like the San Antonio Spurs to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Wednesday. The Spurs have lost 3 games in a row but I like them to break out of that funk in this game. The Spurs got destroyed by the Knicks in their most recent game but that was the last game of a 7 game road trip for them and I think they will perform much better in this 1st game back at home. They looked really good in their game before they played the Knicks, they were in Brooklyn playing the Nets and they lost that game by just 2 points but the Nets had to take them to OT just to win it. I think they put a lot of energy into that game and that's why they came out flat against the Knicks, which was a B2B game for them too, but I think they will be rested and ready for this game with it being a Texas rivalry game. The last time the Spurs played at home they looked really good, losing by 6 points to the Jazz but they played well in that game. They also destroyed the Pistons in their home game before that loss to the Jazz, they beat the Pistons by 30+ points and put up 144 points in that game. The Rockets have lost 3 games in a row but they have not looked good in any of those games, losing all 3 of them on their home court. Houston is the worst team in the West with just 11 wins and 7 of those wins came at home. The Rockets have been terrible at home lately and I don't think they are going to play any better than they have been on the road here. The Rockets have been so bad lately that they have just 1 win in 12 games and have lost all of those games by double digits, most of those losses coming by 20+ points. The Spurs have a great coach that always has them prepared for games and I think they will be ready for this game here. The Spurs have been playing much better than the Rockets lately and I think they will play this game with some pride due to the Texas rivalry. I like the Spurs to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 127-114 Spurs. |

01-12-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Stars -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 130 | 15 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars -1.5. I like the Dallas Stars on the puckline against the Seattle Kraken in this game on Wednesday. The Stars just lost in their most recent game to the Blues and that ended a 4 game win streak for the Stars. They only lost 2-1 to the Blues in that game and they played well but they just have some trouble against the Blues specifically, that would be their 3rd loss in a row to the Blues this year. I think the Stars are due for a bounce back here with how well they have been playing lately. The Kraken are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year and I don't see that changing anytime soon. They have lost 6 games in a row and haven't looked good in any of those games. They lost 4 of those 6 games by 2+ goals and they have been much worse in their road games this year than when they play on home ice. The Stars have played very well on their home ice this year and I don't think the Kraken are going to stand a chance here with how they have played on the road this year. The Stars have won 4 games in a row at home and have only lost 1/13 home games in their previous 13. The Stars have won most of their home games by 2+ goals too and I think they will do the same here. The Kraken have looked bad lately but that has been a common theme for them all year. The Stars have looked much better lately than they did at the beginning of the year and I think they are going to continue rolling now that they are at hot. They had a hiccup in their most recent game and I expect them to respond here with a big bounce back game. i like the Stars on the puckline in this game. T.M. Selection: 5-1 Stars. |

01-12-22 | Elon v. NC-Wilmington -2 | 66-73 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNC Wilmington. I like UNC Wilmington to cover the spread against Elon in this game on Wednesday. UNC Wilmington has won 4 games in a row and they just won their 1st game of conference play in their most recent game. They snuck away with a 2 point win over Delaware at home and Delaware has the best record in their conference at the moment. They haven't allowed any opposing teams to put up 70+ points in their previous 4 games and they have looked good on defense in those games. They have also been very good on their home court this year with 5 wins in their 6 home games. Elon have lost 3 of their 4 previous games and they haven't looked good in any of them. Their most recent loss was by 4 points to Charleston and that extended their losing streak on the road to 6 games in a row now. They haven't won a game on the road this year and I think they are going to continue with their road troubles in this game. UNC Wilmington has been at home this year and they have won 4 games in a row, coming into this game hot right now. Elon has had to face a lot of very tough teams too since a lot of their games have been getting postponed. They had to face Arkansas, Duke, and UNC in their previous 7 games and they got destroyed by each team. It's 1 think to play a team like that in a makeup game to help your team see what it's like to play against elite talent but it's another thing to repeatedly get beaten down by 20+ points by teams of that grade. Elon has been destroyed in so many games that they have to feel a bit demotivated this year when they are already 4-11 to start. I think UNC Wilmington has the momentum with them coming into this game and I think they are going to extend their win streak with another win here. I like UNC Wilmington to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 68-60 UNC Wilmington. |

01-11-22 | Warriors -1.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-116 | Loss | -120 | 15 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors just ended a run where they had lost 2 games in a row with a win over the Cavs in their most recent game. They beat the Cavs by 14 points in that game and that game also saw the return of Klay Thompson to the Warriors lineup. Klay eased his way back in after missing so much time but still managed to put up 17 points in his season debut. The warriors have already looked great this year without him, now with both Klay and Steph back in their lineup, I think this is going to be a very tough team to stop. The Grizzlies have also looked really good in their games lately and they have been having a much better year than expected from them. The Grizzlies have won 9 games in a row but I think this is where that is going to come to an end. They have started to run out of gas in their games lately and they have lost a few players to injury too. They will be without Dillon Brooks in this game and I think that is going to be a big loss for them in this game. They were missing him in their previous game but they were playing the Lakers who haven't really been great this year and were still missing Anthony Davis too. They are also going to be missing Steven Adams in this game and I think that is going to be a huge loss of presence underneath the net. They have been able to get by with Jaren Jackson in his place but I think the Warriors are too strong a team for that to work here and I think the Grizzlies are going to be left vulnerable on the defensive end. Now that Klay has been back for a game he will only be better in each game going forward as he gets into his groove again and starts to gel with his teammates more. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 114-104 Warriors. |

01-11-22 | North Florida v. Liberty -16 | 56-71 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty. I like Liberty to cover the spread against North Florida in this game on Tuesday. Liberty has won 2 games in a row and they have looked a lot better now that their schedule has gotten weaker in their games lately. Liberty has looked great at home this year, they are 6-0 in those games and have won a lot of them by 15+ points and some by even 20+ and 30+ points. They have won 5 of their 6 home games this year by 20+ points and the only game that wasn't won by that many points was a 12 point win against MD Eastern Shore. They just won their most recent game in conference play against Stetson by 16 points and that was a road game for them. I expect them to play even better on their home court here against North Florida who just lost to Stetson at home in their most recent game. North Florida has looked bad this year, they are 4-11 and have lost all 10 of their road games this year. North Florida only lost by 7 points in their most recent road game but that was against Florida Gulf Coast and I think they played much harder in that game with it being a state rivalry. Before losing that game by 7, they had lost 5 games in a row on the road by 15+ points, and 4 of those losses were actually by 20+ points with the closest game being a 15 point loss. Liberty has the 2nd best record in this conference and I expect them to extend their winning streak here with another win in conference play. Liberty has looked much better in their games lately and they have played even better on their home court this year. I like Liberty to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-55 Liberty. |

01-11-22 | Iona -6.5 v. Fairfield | 80-76 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iona. I like Iona to cover the spread against Fairfield in this game on Tuesday. Iona has the best record in this conference at the moment, they are 11-3 and they have also won all 3 of their games in conference play so far. Their most recent game was not a game that is part of their conference play but they still lost to Saint Louis by 1 point. I think Iona is going to be due for a bounce back here since that loss ended a run where they had won 5 games in a row. Iona has already proven themselves as a good team when they upset the ranked Alabama earlier this year and became the only MAAC team in history to upset a top 10 team. They have only played in 2 road games this year and they are 1-1 but their most recent game was on the road and even though they lost by 1 point they still played very well in that game and showed up on defense as they didn't let Saint Louis put up 70+ points. I think Iona is going to have a much easier challenge on the road in this game and I think they will play defense well in this game. Lately. they haven't allowed the opposing team to score 70+ points in their previous 2 games and I think that will continue here. Fairfield has lost 4 games in a row now and they have not looked good at all. Since coming back from their break, they have lost both of their games, 1 of those being at home by 9 points. They lost their most recent game to Siena by 7 points and that is a really bad look on them since they had already played a game in January while that was Siena's 1st game back since early December. They haven't put up more than 61 points in 3 games in a row either. I think Fairfield is going to struggle to score on Iona's defense in this game so I like Iona to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-62 Iona. |

01-09-22 | Panthers v. Bucs -8 | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 51 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Carolina Panthers in this game on Sunday. The Buccaneers have already clinched the playoffs but they are still playing for seeding. If they win in this game then they have a chance to get home advantage for their 1st 2 games of the playoffs since the 1st round bye is off the table already. The Bucs have not looked their best in their games lately with a loss in their previous 3 games where they were shut out and then a win against the Jets in their most recent game, a game where they didn't have the lead at all until they scored the winning TD in the last minute of the game. I don't think Tom Brady deems this kind of play acceptable with the playoffs right around the corner and I expect him to get himself and the entire team back on track with a great performance and a big win in this game to finish the regular season off right. The Panthers have been terrible lately, they have lost 6 games in a row and they are nowhere near solving their issues at QB. They have scored 10 points or less in their previous 2 games and they have put up 14 points or less in 4 of their previous 5 games. They also played the Bucs at home about 2 weeks ago and they got destroyed 32-6 in that game, and the Bucs have not been great on the road this year. They will play much better at home here and they need a good game to make up for almost losing to the Jets last week. I think that the Buccaneers are going to try hard for that win here, especially when they have been a much better team at home this year, if they have a chance to win the 2nd seed and get some home advantage for their 1st 2 playoff games then they will do what they can to get that. I think this game is going to be even worse than their last meeting, I like the Buccaneers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-3 Buccaneers. |

01-09-22 | Rider v. Marist -8.5 | 79-75 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marist. I like Marist to cover the spread against Rider in this game on Sunday. Marist has looked a lot better than Rider has in their games this year. Rider has a losing record with double the amount of losses as wins they have while Marist still has a winning record and a winning record on the road. Marist just won their most recent game against Fairfield by 9 points and they were on the road for that game. They have played well in conference play this year. They are 2-2 in conference play but both of their losses came to Iona and Iona is the best team in the conference at the moment, they have even upset a ranked team this year so I don't think that is a devastating loss. They even played Iona on the road in their game right before playing Fairfield and Marist only lost that game by 3 points. Their 2 wins in conference play were both by 9+ points too, their most recent game was their 9 point win on the road over Fairfield but their other win in conference play was also on the road against this same Rider team where Marist won by 12 points. I think Marist has been playing even better in their games lately since these teams last met in that game and I think Marist will have an even easier time blowing them out at home here. Rider won in their most recent game but that was against Gwynedd Mercy who does not even play in Division I basketball and they had lost 4 games in a row before getting that win. Their last loss was against this Marist team too. Marist has a big advantage over Rider though since Rider has not played since December 20 but Marist has already played in 2 games in January so they have had some opportunities to get back into their groove on the court. I think Marist is playing much better here and I expect Rider to have a very slow and bad start that they will not be able to dig their way out of. I think the long layoff will negatively affect Rider and Marist has already beaten them on the road this year by 12 points. I like Marist to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 82-62 Marist. |

01-09-22 | Fairfield -2 v. Siena | 62-69 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Fairfield. I like Fairfield to cover the spread against Siena in this game on Sunday. Fairfield has lost 3 games in a row but I think this is the perfect chance for them to bounce back with a win here. They just lost their most recent game at home by 9 points to Marist but that was their 1st game back since December and Marist had already played another game in January before taking on Fairfield. I think Fairfield will be warmed up from that game and play a lot better here, they have been a good road team this year too with a winning record on the road. They have also played well in conference play this year, that loss to Marist was their 1st conference loss this year but they already have 2 wins under their belt. Both of their wins were on the road and they won by 6+ points in both games. The teams they beat were Canisius and Niagara who are both bad teams with losing records at the moment but Siena is not any better and also has a losing record. Siena even has a losing record on their home court this year with just 1 win in 4 home games and I think Fairfield will be able to win here considering they have actually been alright on the road this year. Siena also hasn't played a game since December 11th so they are almost going on a full month without playing in a real game together as a team. I think that they are going to get off to a bad start in this game as they try to find their groove again after a long layoff and I think Fairfield has a big advantage because they have already played a game in the last few days. Fairfield has already won both of their games in conference play and I think they can win another here and by a lot since I expect Siena to be rusty coming out of their break. I like Fairfield to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 67-58 Fairfield. |

01-09-22 | Titans v. Texans +11 | Top | 28-25 | Win | 100 | 127 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans. I like the Houston Texans to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Texans have looked a lot better in their games lately as their year is coming to an end. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games and they even beat the LA Chargers in 1 of those games who have a good chance of going to the playoffs this year. Davis Mills has looked much better in these final few games for them and he has been able to move the ball well and score some points too. He played very well in that game against the Chargers as his team put up 41 points in that game and he didn't even throw an interception. The Texans have nothing left to play for as they have already been eliminated from making the playoffs but they still have a lot to play for here in regards to next year. Davis Mills wants to prove that he can be a starting QB in this league so I expect him to play well here and try to earn himself a spot on the team next year, or any team that really wants him as a starter. The Titans have already clinched their division this year so they really have no need to win this game except for the number 1 seed in the AFC. I think the Titans are going to rest some of their starting players in this game though so they don't risk any injuries going into the playoffs. They have already lost their star RB Derrick Henry this year but they are getting him back for the playoffs supposedly so it would be in their best interest to rest their starters in this game and keep everyone as healthy as can be for the games that really matter. The Titans will still be trying to win this game but I don't think they will try to win by a lot here with this being the last regular season game and even if they do acquire a big lead in this game I think they will pull a lot of their players and leave the backdoor open for a cover in the worst possible scenario for the Texans. The Texans already beat the Titans earlier in the year and that game was in Tennessee so I expect them to play much better at home here and put up a good fight to try and win again. I like the Texans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Titans. |

01-09-22 | Colts v. Jaguars +15.5 | 11-26 | Win | 100 | 47 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jacksonville Jaguars. I like the Jacksonville Jaguars to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Jaguars have looked bad in a lot of games this year but they have also had their moments where they haven't looked that bad. I think they will try hard in this game to finish their year off strong and try to get a win here. The Colts just lost their most recent game and Carson Wentz looked terrible in that game. They lost that game by 3 points and they still need a win to get into the playoffs. The Jaguars have been terrible all year so I think the Colts will get their win here but I expect that they won't take the Jaguars as seriously in this game and they might even start to rest some players if they feel they have secured the win. Carson Wentz has also looked very bad in their games lately, not just their most recent game but their previous 3 games his play has started to decline and I think that could catch up to him in this game against a team they might not take seriously. The Jaguars looked really good in their last meeting with the Colts only losing that game by a TD and that game was in Indianapolis too. The Jaguars play much better at home, they don't have a single win on the road this year, and considering how well they played on the road last time, I expect them to play the Colts even better in this game at home. I like the Jaguars to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-16 Colts. |

01-08-22 | Colorado State v. San Diego State -2.5 | 49-79 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State. I like San Diego State to cover the spread against Colorado State in this game on Saturday. San Diego State has won 4 games in a row and 3 of those wins were by 10+ points. Their most recent game was a win over UNLV by 7 points but they were on the road in that game and picked up their 1st road win this year in conference play which is tough to do. Now that San Diego State is on a roll and has their 1st win in conference play, I expect them to continue their streak and get another big conference win here at home. Colorado State has won all 11 games they have played this year and they are the only undefeated team left in their conference. I think San Diego State is going to make it a priority to win this game and be the 1st team to hand Colorado State a loss this year. Whenever a team is going up against another team that hasn't lost a game yet there is always extra motivation to beat that team and be the 1st ones to do so. Colorado State hasn't played in a true road game this year either and I think that is going to be a big factor in this game. Not only will San Diego State be extra motivated to end their undefeated run, but Colorado State has to play their 1st road game here so they aren't used to playing in a hostile environment like that this year yet. The 1st road game of the year is always a tough one for these teams but to play their 1st road game in a conference game, and against a team that has been playing well all year with a 9-3 record, I think that it is going to be too much for Colorado State to handle in this game and I expect them to lose their 1st game of the year here. I like San Diego State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-67 San Diego State. |

01-08-22 | Nebraska v. Rutgers -7.5 | 65-93 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers. I like Rutgers to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Saturday. Rutgers got off to a rough start this year but they have been playing much better as of late. They have won 3 games in a row and have won all of those games by 8+ points. Rutgers has also been a very good team on their home court winning 8/9 games this year. They have won 4 of their previous 5 home games by 8+ points and the 1 game that they won by 2 points was a game where they upset Purdue who was the 1st ranked team in the country at the time. I think Rutgers has started to figure out their game as the year has progressed and I expect them to continue this good run of play that they are on. Nebraska has been a terrible team this year losing 2 games in a row and they have already lost all 4 games in conference play that they have played already. They only have 1 win in 8 games and that win came against Kennesaw State at home. They have also lost 6 of their previous 8 games by 8+ points. Nebraska started off alright but they have looked very bad ever since hitting conference play. I think they are going to struggle on the road in here in this conference game and will remain winless in both road games and conference play. I think Rutgers is starting to find their groove lately and they have already shown they can go face to face with top ranked teams and come away with the win. I think Rutgers has a better team and I don't think Nebraska is going to be able to get their 1st road win and 1st conference win of the year against a team like Rutgers with how well they have been playing lately. I like Rutgers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-62 Rutgers. |

01-08-22 | Connecticut +4 v. Seton Hall | 87-90 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UConn. I like UConn to cover the spread against Seton Hall in this game on Saturday. UConn has a good team this year and they have been having a good year but they have lost a few close games lately. They have 2 losses in their previous 5 games, 1 was against West Virginia on the road by 3 points and the other was against Providence at home by 4 points so both losses were very close games that they had a chance to win. UConn is back in the winning column with a win in their most recent game but their defense has looked good in a lot of their games this year. They have given up 65+ point in just 1 game in their previous 8. Even in their 3 losses this year, they still gave up less than 65 points, Michigan State scored 64, West Virginia scored 56, and Providence scored 57 points so even when UConn loses they keep the game close with their great defense and always give themselves a chance to win. Seton Hall just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row right before getting that win. Their most recent win was against Butler but they have not looked that impressive this year. Their 2 losses before that win were against Villanova and Providence who both have good teams but Seton Hall has not looked that great in those conference games. They are 1-2 in the conference this year and I think they are going to struggle to win this game too. UConn started the year off as a ranked team and they have still been playing very well in their games but they have lost their rank due to their losses lately. I think they are going to be hungry to get back into the top 25 and I expect them to play hard here and get a big road win against a ranked conference team to help their case a bit and get back into the top 25. UConn is a team that has much higher goals than to just qualify for the tournament so I expect them to pick up their game and get back on track here. I like UConn to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 66-63 UConn. |

01-07-22 | Cavs v. Blazers +4.5 | 114-101 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Friday. The Trail Blazers have not been winning many games lately with 1 win in 6 games but they have looked much better in their games playing at home in these previous few games. They got a must needed win over the Hawks in their 1st game back from a game on the road but they lost their most recent game by 6 points to the Heat. The Trail Blazers are missing a few players but they are still putting up points with 105+ points in both of their previous 2 games, they also looked a lot better on defense in their most recent game only giving up 115 points compared to some of their other games. The Trail Blazers have been a much better team at home this year than on the road so I think this is their best chance to break out of their funk here at home and win some games on their home stand. The Cavaliers haven't looked great lately with just 1 win in 6 games. Their 1 win was against the Pacers who haven't been good this year and they have only put up 110+ points in 1 of their previous 5 games. Their defense hasn't been good either and they have been giving up 110+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. The Cavaliers were having an incredible year up to this point but I think they have been overachieving and I expect them to come back down to Earth now as they have been in their games lately. I also think the Trail Blazers have been underachieving this year and I think they are a much better team than their record shows. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game at home. T.M. Prediction: 117-112 Trail Blazers. |

01-07-22 | Jazz v. Raptors -10.5 | 108-122 | Win | 100 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Friday. The Raptors have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have won 4 games in a row now. They were near the bottom of the standings but all of these wins lately have shot them up to a record above .500 again. They have gotten most of their players back and they will be almost at full strength for this game. They have even ripped off some big 10+ point wins over the Knicks and the Spurs lately and they even went on the road and beat a weakened Bucks team but still looked good in that game. The Jazz are going to missing a bunch of their players in this game. Mitchell, Conley, Gobert, and Bogdanovic have all been ruled out of this game already. Royce O'Neale is also questionable which means there is a possibility that the Jazz will not have any of their starters for this game. Even without those 5 players, the Jazz still have 8 other players on their injury report so not only are their starters unavailable, but their backups may not even play in the game either. The Jazz have already been struggling in their games lately with their lineup at full strength, they have 1 loss in their previous 3 games and they just won their most recent game by 6 points which is not impressive for the amount of talent on that team. The Raptors have been playing well lately and are pretty much at full strength here while the Jazz have not been at their best and will be missing more than half their team for this game. I like the Raptors to cover the spread here and smack the Jazz around on their home court in this game. T.M. Prediction: 108-87 Raptors. |

01-06-22 | Pistons v. Grizzlies -12.5 | 88-118 | Win | 100 | 15 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies. I like the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Thursday. The Grizzlies have won 6 games in a row now and they have been playing themselves into 1 of the best records in the West and are climbing up the standings with each win they get. Now that Morant is back and healthy along with the rest of the team they have been on fire lately. They have been winning a lot of games on the road lately with 4 of those wins on their run coming on the road but they will be at home for this game to face 1 of the worst teams in the league. They have also taken down some strong teams on their 6 game run like the Suns and the Nets who both have better records than the Grizzlies do, they even won against the Nets by 14 points on the road. The Pistons had won 2 games in a row but those were their only 2 wins in their previous 10 games and they just lost their most recent game to the Hornets on the road by 29 points. Not only did they lose by almost 30 points but they gave up 140 points to Charlotte in that game. Their team is lacking a lot of talent and their players are not that good but the defense has been especially bad on this team. That is the 2nd time in their previous 5 games that they have given up 140+ points to an opposing team and the other time was against the Spurs who are also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. For a team that doesn't score a lot of points they should be try to make it up on defense but they don't play any defense either and if they try to get into a shootout with the Grizzlies here, they are going to get blown away. I don't think the Pistons are going to keep up in this game at all. I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 126-96 Grizzlies. |

01-06-22 | Long Beach State v. UCLA -26.5 | 78-96 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCLA. I like UCLA to cover the spread against Long Beach State in this game on Thursday. UCLA was having a great 8-1 start to their year before it was derailed by a bunch of covid issues running through their team and then some of the teams they were scheduled to play. They are still 8-1 but the last game that they played was on December 11th and they are almost going on a full month without playing a real game. I think that the players are going to be really rested from their long break and I expect them to be eager to get back out on the court and play well in their 1st game back. They should have a lot of energy after not playing for so long and I think they are going to come out and get a big win to get right back into things like they never left. UCLA has been good on their home court this year winning all of their games there by 10+ points except for 1 game against Villanova but they still won that game by 9 points. Long Beach State has 2 wins in their previous 3 games but both of those wins were against teams not from Division I basketball and the 3 teams that they lost to were all Division I teams. Not only did they lose those 3 games but they lost the 2 road games by 10+ points each. I think Long Beach State is going to struggle on the road here in UCLA and I think UCLA will come out strong in this game since they have been waiting to play a game but they keep getting scheduled games postponed so once they finally get to play a game here, I'm expecting a great performance from them. I think they will come out with a lot of energy and pull away in this game making it out of reach for Long Beach State early in the game. I like UCLA to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 96-56 UCLA |

01-05-22 | Texas Tech v. Iowa State -2.5 | Top | 47-51 | Win | 100 | 15 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State. I like Iowa State to cover the spread against Texas Tech in this game on Wednesday. Iowa State has been having a great year, they won 12 games in a row to start the year off but lost their most recent game to Baylor. Baylor is ranked 1st in the country so that is not a bad loss but they only lost that game by 5 points at home and they have to be steamed about coming so close there. I think they are going to be hungry to bounce back in their next game and they will need to win since that loss started off their conference play at 0-1. They are at home again and I think Iowa State is going to step up here and get that conference win to get back to their winning ways. Before that loss to Baylor, Iowa State had won 4 games in a row by 10+ points and they had won all of their home games this year by 10+ points except for 1 game that they won by 8 points. They look great when they are on their home court and I think they are going to cover the spread here after playing very well against Baylor and almost ending their undefeated run. Texas Tech has looked good in their games lately but they have not been playing any strong teams really. They have only played in 1 road game this year and they lost to Gonzaga by 14 who has shown some cracks this year already. Texas Tech lost their only true road game played this year and now they get to be on the road again for their 1st game of conference play and Iowa State is not an easy team to play their 1st conference game against. I think Iowa State is the better team here and they are going to be upset over their loss to Baylor. I think Iowa State will bounce back in this game and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 Iowa State. |

01-05-22 | Warriors -5 v. Mavs | 82-99 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors have won 2 games in a row but they also have lost just 1 game in their previous 6. They have been playing some of the best teams in the league too with their 4 most recent wins coming against the Grizzlies, the Suns, the Jazz, and the Heat. They won all of those games by 7+ points and they are still holding down the best record in the league this year. Curry has been playing great lately and carrying his team in some of their games but he has also been getting a lot of help from the other players on the team like in their most recent game against the Heat they won while Curry only put up 9 points but Jordan Poole had 30+ points. The Warriors have a lot of depth on their team this year and they are much better than the Mavericks who have not been having the year that they planned. The Mavericks are barely staying afloat with a 19-18 record this year but they have had a losing record a few times already and they keep going back and forth from winning records to losing ones hovering around that same mark all year. The Mavericks have been too up and down with their play this year and that is when they have been at full strength they still look shaky. The Mavericks have won 3 games in a row but I think that is going to end here and I expect the Warriors to break that run. The Mavericks have been getting by without Porzingis but they have also played 2 of the worst teams in the league over their previous 3 games. I think the Mavericks are going to be hurting at the loss of Porzingis in this game and they will need his defense here to keep up with the Warriors, Even if he is cleared to play, I still think that the Warriors are much better and will still be able to destroy the Mavericks here with how they have been playing all year. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 118-102 Warriors. |

01-04-22 | Pacers v. Knicks -1.5 | Top | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Tuesday. The Knicks have lost 2 games in a row now and they have not looked good in those games, losing to 2 of the worst teams in the league. I think they are going to embarrassed after those 2 losses and they are going to bounce back in this home game. The Knicks did not look good in their most recent loss to the Raptors but they were playing great defense in their games before that 1, not giving up 100+ points in 3 games in a row. They just got back from a 4 game road trip but I expect them to play much better defense now that they are back on their home court. The Pacers haven't looked any better than the Knicks have in their games lately, the Pacers have actually looked worse than the Knicks lately. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row now and 2 of those losses were at home where they are a much better team. I don't think the Pacers are going to play well on the here since they haven't looked good in general lately and they have only won 3/17 road games this year. They have also been playing worse on defense than the Knicks have been. The Pacers have given up 100+ points to the opposing team in 9 games in a row and I don't think anything is going to change in this game. I think the Knicks are going to play well on their home court and I expect the Pacers to struggle on the road again while the Knicks shut them down with their defense. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here and get a much needed bounce back win here at home. T.M. Prediction: 107-97 Knicks. |

01-03-22 | Browns v. Steelers -1 | 14-26 | Win | 100 | 14 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Monday. The Steelers have had a very up and down year, they are 7-7-1 at the moment and they have been finding ways to win games all year even though they have not looked the greatest in a lot of those games. As up and down as they have been all year, they still managed to beat the Browns in Cleveland in their 1st meeting and I think they can do the same here in this game now that they are the home team. The Steelers still have a chance to make it to the playoffs if they can win out the rest of the year then they give themselves a great chance because they have 1 tie this year and if there are any 9-8 teams at the end of the year, the Steelers will be ahead of them and get that playoff spot because of their 9-7-1 record at that point. They will still have to rely on some other teams to lose since there are a few that can get to 10 wins still but their battle starts with winning their final 2 games. The Browns have come close to winning lately, losing their 2 most recent games by 2 points in both of them. Baker Mayfield has been dealing with a lot of injuries though and he is out there every week with a harness on as it is the only way he can play with his shoulder intact. I think the injuries have just been too much for the Browns to overcome this year and what started out as a promising year for them was derailed by those key injuries and some losses of players to covid in key games. I think the Steelers have the momentum coming into this game and they have more motivation to win here with a better chance to make the playoffs than the Browns. I like the Steelers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 20-16 Steelers. |

01-03-22 | Rockets v. 76ers -13 | 113-133 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Monday. The 76ers have looked a lot better in their games lately winning 3 games in a row now. They won 1 of those 3 games by 20+ points on the road while the other 2 games they won within 10 points but they were still on the road for both of those and they took down the Nets in their most recent game who were basically healthy with both Durant and Harden starting alongside a few of their other starter. The 76ers will get to be at home here and their team does not seem to be missing too many key players for this game so I expect a great effort from the 76ers in this game now that they have started to gain some steam. The 76ers have a lot of ground to make up sitting in 6th place in the East and I think they are going to start turning on the jets in their next few games while they are rolling. The Rockets have been terrible this year and they have looked especially bad in their games lately. The Rockets started their year in a huge slump, then they broke out of it and went on a run where they won their most of their wins this year, and now they have reverted back into a massive slump losing 7 games in a row now. They have 1 win in their previous 10 games and they are not even keeping close in any of these games. They have lost 7 games in a row by 10+ points and their previous 9 losses were all by 10+ points too. I don't think anything is going to change for them here especially with the way the 76ers have been playing lately. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-95 76ers. |

01-02-22 | Vikings v. Packers -13 | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 17 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Sunday. The Packers have won 4 games in a row but they haven't looked their best in their 2 most recent games as those 2 games were very close and they could've lost either 1. I think the Packers are going to step up here and get a big win after B2B scares the last 2 weeks. The Packers are in the driver seat right now, they have total control of their own fate and can clinch the best seed in the NFC if they win out the rest of their season. Their last loss also came against the Vikings in Minnesota just over a month ago so this is a big revenge spot for the Packers and I think they are going to want to come out and bury them early to ensure they get the win this time. Kirk Cousins will also likely be missing this game with covid and the Vikings are currently dealing with that going around their team. The Packers should have been able to destroy the Vikings with them at full strength but now it should be a lot easier. I think the Vikings are going to struggle to score on the Packers here and the packers have a lot of extra motivation to win this game. The Vikings have not put up more than 24 points in their previous 2 games and that was with Cousins playing. I think they are going to have a hard time scoring at all in this game so I like the Packers to cover the spread here with a huge performance on Sunday night and make a statement. T.M. Prediction: 35-6 Packers. |

01-02-22 | Pacers +3.5 v. Cavs | 104-108 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana Pacers. I like the Indiana Pacers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Sunday. The pacers have lost 3 games in a row but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. The Pacers came very close in their most recent game losing by 2 to the Bulls on a buzzer beater shot. The Pacers are going to be healthier in this game but the Cavaliers are missing some key players and I think that is going to be their downfall in this game. The Cavaliers have also lost 3 games in a row and they have come close in a few of those games but I think they are going to feel the loss of Garlund in this game. The Cavaliers are starting to come back down to Earth in their games lately and the Pacers have been underperforming all year. I think this is a great spot for the Pacers to catch a weakened Cavaliers lineup and I think the Pacers can sneak a win out in this game. I like the Pacers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-108 Pacers. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Houston -11.5 v. Temple | 66-61 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston. I like Houston to cover the spread against Temple in this game on Sunday. Houston has looked good in their games lately. They have won 3 games in a row and they were all by 10+ points. This game will mark the start of their conference play and I expect Houston to come out with a bang and win big. They have the best record in their conference at the moment and they are the 12th ranked team in the country. They have only played 1 road game though and they lost that game by 1 point to a good Alabama team. Temple is no Alabama so I expect Houston to have a much easier time winning this game on the road and start forging their path to the conference title. Temple has not looked the greatest this year with a 7-5 record but they are already down 1 game in the conference losing to UCF by almost 20 points. Temple has only lost 5 games this year but their last 4 losses were all by around 20 points. Houston is a very good team and I think they are going to play well here to start their conference play off on the right foot. Temple has played well in some of their games but when they lose they usually lose by a lot and Houston is a team that could definitely end up blowing them out by 20 points. I like Houston to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-66 Houston. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Lions +7.5 v. Seahawks | Top | 29-51 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Seattle Seahawks in this game on Sunday. The Lions have started to look a lot better in their games lately and I think that they are going to come to play another good game here. They have 2 wins in their previous 4 games but they have come really close in a lot of games all year and their record could be very different if a few different things went their way instead. They lost their most recent game to the Falcons by 4 points but they were missing a lot of players in that game. They will be getting some of their players back here but their QB will likely be Tim Boyle in this game. Boyle didn't look terrible in their previous game and they had a chance to beat the Falcons that entire game. The Seahawks have not been any better this year with a losing record and a very bad defense. The Seahawks have lost 2 games in a row and their offense just hasn't looked good as they have struggled to score points all year. The Seahawks also have 1 of the worst defenses in the league and they give up a lot of yards to opposing teams so I think Tim Boyle will be able to move the ball on them with ease now that he has played some games as a starter too. I think the Lions are going to try and finish their year strong and get a few wins to build on for next year. The Seahawks haven't been great this year and I think the Lions have the heart to keep this a close game. I like the Lions to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Seahawks. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Broncos v. Chargers -7.5 | 13-34 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos in this game on Sunday. The Chargers are 1 of those 8-7 teams that are still fighting for a playoff spot and with a lot of teams very close in the standings with their records, this game is very important to the Chargers. The Chargers have lost 2 games in a row now after winning 2 in a row and I think it is time for them to bounce back here. They were embarrassed in their most recent game when they went to Houston and lost to the Texans 41-29. The Chargers were missing a lot of players in that game but that was a really bad loss that shouldn't have happened and I think they will be hungry to blow out the Broncos here after having to sit on that loss for a week. The Chargers will be getting some key offensive players back for this game which should help them score easier and put up more points on the Broncos here. The Broncos have lost 2 games in a row but they haven't looked good in any games lately. Their offense hasn't scored 14+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. Their defense has still looked good but they will have a tough time stopping this Chargers offense that has been getting healthier and they will likely be on the field a lot as the Broncos offense has looked bad in those same games. I think this is a game that the Chargers are going to make a statement in after last week and the Broncos have a weak offense that will not be able to keep up with their current QB situation. I like the Chargers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Chargers. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Raiders +8.5 v. Colts | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas Raiders. I like the Las Vegas Raiders to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Raiders have looked a lot better in their games lately with 2 wins in a row now and their defense has been holding up well in those games. The Raiders haven't given up 15+ points in their 2 most recent games and I expect their defense to continue playing well in this game too. The Raiders are still fighting for a playoff spot and they need a win in this game to give themselves the best chance of making it in to a Wild Card spot. The Colts have won 3 games in a row but they didn't look that great in their most recent game against the Cardinals. They made a lot of mistakes in that game but still came out with the win thanks to Taylor. I think the Raiders are going to be able to slow down Taylor in this game and force Wentz to throw the ball more. Wentz did not look great in their previous game and if he is forced to throw the ball more he will make some bad decisions. The spread is a lot here and I think the Raiders can keep this a close game. I like the Raiders to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-16 Colts. |

01-01-22 | Clippers v. Nets -11.5 | 120-116 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the LA Clippers in this game on Saturday. The Nets just lost their most recent game to the 76ers at home by 8 points and they had a lot of their starters playing in that game so I'm expecting them to bounce back here. The Nets still look pretty healthy for this game but the Clippers aren't and I think the Nets can take advantage of that. The Clippers are going to be missing Paul George in this game, Batum is also questionable to play and Zubac might not play due to covid. Right before the Nets lost to the 76ers in their most recent game, they played the Clippers in the game before that 1 and they won in LA by 16 points. The Clippers were missing George and Batum in that game but they had Zubac and the Nets were missing both Durant and Aldridge. The difference with this game is now the Nets are at home and they have both Durant and Aldridge back for this game but now the Clippers are going to be missing the same 2 players as before plus Zubac might miss the game too. I think with the Clippers travelling here very shorthanded, this game is going to be a lot worse than the game in LA a few nights ago. The Nets have most of their players for this game and I expect them to beat the Clippers by even more than they did in that last meeting. I like the Nets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 126-103 Nets. |

01-01-22 | Villanova v. Seton Hall +1.5 | 73-67 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seton Hall. I like Seton Hall to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Saturday. Seton Hall had won 6 games in a row before losing to providence in their most recent game. They lost that game by 5 points on the road and it was their 1st game of conference play this year. Seton Hall has had a pretty good offense this year though and they have put up 70+ points in a lot of their games. They have also looked good on defense and have only given up 70+ points in 3 of their games this year. Villanova has already played 2 games of conference play this year and they are 1-1 in those games, winning 1 in their most recent game against Xavier. Their 2 games before that 1 they lost, both of them were on the road where they have a losing record this year and both of those losses were by 20+ points. Villanova has not looked good on offense lately either. They scored 71 points in their most recent games but they failed to get over 60 points and 40 points in the 2 games before that and they have scored 70+ points in just that 1 game of their previous 4. I think Villanova is going to struggle on the road again like they have all year and I expect Seton Hall to be hungry for a bounce back win in this game. Seton Hall was rolling over teams right before they lost that game and I think they are going to get back on that train. I like Seton Hall to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-64 Seton Hall. |

12-31-21 | Spurs v. Grizzlies -6.5 | 105-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies. I like the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread against the San Antonio Spurs in this game on Friday. The Grizzlies have a really good team this year, they are 1 of 4 teams in the West who already have 20+ wins on the year. They have also won a lot of their games while missing 1 of their best players Ja Morant but he is back in the lineup now and the team is playing even better. When he 1st came back they had lost a few games as they needed to get back into rhythm with him on the court but now that they have, they have won 3 games in a row knocking off the Kings, Suns, and Lakers. The Grizzlies have also looked great on defense lately, they have played 17 games in a row without giving up more than 106 points to any opposing team except for the Suns and the Warriors in 1 game each but those are the 2 best teams in the NBA and both scored exactly 113 points on the Grizzlies. Ja Morant just put up 40+ points in their most recent game too as he lifted his team over the Lakers and I expect him to continue that great play in this game. The Spurs haven't looked bad in their games lately but they just lost a game to the Jazz and they were missing their best player Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz still have a lot of talent without Mitchell and are a good team either way but the Grizzlies have a lot of talent too that will be playing in this game and if the Spurs couldn't take advantage of a weaker Jazz lineup, then I don't think they will do much on a Grizzlies lineup that has most of their starters playing in this game. I think the Grizzlies are going to continue to roll here so I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-104 Grizzlies. |

12-31-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 135 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights -1.5. I like the Vegas Golden Knights on the puckline against the Anaheim Ducks in this game on Friday. The Golden Knights looked good leading up to the break that the NHL took with just 1 loss in their previous 7 games. Their 1st game back from the break was against the Kings on Tuesday and they won that game 6-3, not only winning by -1.5 but also scoring 6 goals with a strong offensive performance in that game. That has been a common them for them all year and they have scored 3+ goals in 12 games in a row now. I think that they will be able to outscore the Ducks here and I expect the Golden Knights to kick it into gear now that the new year is basically here and they have taken over the top spot in their division. The Ducks are right behind them in 2nd place by 1 point so I expect the Knights to put the Ducks in their place here and give themselves some room in 1st place. The Ducks have lost 2 games in a row but they have only played 1 game since coming back from the break, that game was a loss in OT to the Canucks. The Ducks were unable to score a lot in that game with just 1 goal and I expect that scoring trouble to carry over into this game. Vegas has been a very high scoring team all year and they average over 3 goals per game. I think the Knights are the better team here and after a slow start to their year, they have finally worked their way back to 1st place and I expect them to try really hard to keep it. I think the Knights are going to outscore the Ducks here by a lot so I like the Golden Knights on the puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Golden Knights. |

12-30-21 | UTEP v. UABÂ -12.5 | 62-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UAB. I like UAB to cover the spread against UTEP in this game on Thursday. UAB has looked really good in their games lately. UAB has won 5 of their previous 6 games and they have been winning those games by a lot of points. They won by 14+ points in 4 of those wins and they have been playing great on their home court this year. UAB has 1 loss at home in 9 home games this year and that loss was to West Virginia but UTEP is not as good as West Virginia is and every other team that UAB has played on their home court they have won against by 13+ points. UAB has also looked great on offense lately putting up 70+ points in their 5 previous wins including 2 games where they scored 100+ points. They have also looked good on defense too though. They have not given up 65+ points in 4 games in a row and they have only done it in 1 game in their previous 7 games. UTEP just lost at home to Bradley in their most recent game and Bradley is not having that great of a year just barely keeping a winning record at 7-6. I think UTEP is going to struggle in this game being on the road in their 1st game of conference play this year. I think UAB plays a lot better on their home court this year and I expect them to play well on defense in this game and get some key stops that will help them extend their lead and take stress off their offense. I think UAB also has a good offense though and will be able to keep pouring on the points to pull away from UTEP in this game. I like UAB to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 82-62 UAB. |

12-30-21 | Bucks -12.5 v. Magic | 136-118 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Bucks. I like the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Thursday. The Bucks have won 4 games in a row now and they have looked good in most of those games. Their most recent game was a win over the Magic in Orlando by 17 points on Tuesday night. The Bucks are going to be playing the Magic in Orlando again in this game but nothing has really changed for the Magic with their covid and injury situation since then. I think the Bucks are going to beat them by a lot again in this game and I'm expecting a similar result as the other night. The Bucks are healthy for this game while the Magic still have 13 players on the injury report. Most of their bench depth is going to miss this game with covid and a few of their starters are going to miss the game with just regular injuries. The Magic have lost 3 games in a row and they haven't looked great in those games. They have already struggled to win games all year at full strength but now the obstacles keep piling up for them and making it even more difficult to win games. I don't think the Magic are going to be able to keep up with Giannis and the Bucks here and I'm expecting them to get another big win in this game similar to the other night. This is basically a very thin Magic lineup against a very healthy Bucks lineup so I like the Bucks to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 121-97 Bucks. |

12-30-21 | Pittsburgh +3 v. Michigan State | 21-31 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh. I like Pittsburgh to cover the spread against Michigan State in this game on Thursday. Pittsburgh had a great year this year leading the ACC with their record and they even went on to win the conference with a blowout win against Wake Forest in the title game. They have won 5 games in a row and 4 of those wins were by 10+ points. Their offense has looked great all year and they have put up 30+ points in 6 games in a row. Their QB Kenny Pickett has declared for the NFL draft and won't be playing in this game but I still think that their offense will be able to move the ball with all of the talent they have in the run game and receiving. Michigan State also had a great year but they didn't have the year they were hoping for. They had high hopes for the playoffs but they stumbled in their last few games and failed to make it, even falling short of the Big 10 title game too. Michigan State is also going to be missing a few players on the offense for this game and I think that is going to be a problem for them since their offense was not that strong all year. Michigan State had a great defense all year and that's what they were known for but their defense has not looked good in their games lately and I think Pittsburgh will be able to score a lot of points on them here. They have given up 20+ points in 5 games in a row but 3 of those games they gave up 30+ points in and they even allowed 40+ points in 2 of those games. I think Pittsburgh is still going to be able to move the ball and score here and I think Michigan State is going to struggle to score points and stop Pittsburgh on defense here. I like Pittsburgh to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Pittsburgh. |

12-30-21 | Purdue v. Tennessee -6.5 | 48-45 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee. I like Tennessee to cover the spread against Purdue in this game on Thursday. Tennessee has won 2 games in a row to finish their regular season and they looked really good in those games. They put up 45+ points on offense in both of those games while giving up no more than 21 points in either game. Tennessee didn't have the best season that they were hoping for but they showed some flashes of what they can do this year with Josh Heupel and they were definitely trending in the right direction this year compared to some of the other years they have had. I think that Tennessee is going to play hard in this game to end their year off right with a nice win and lay some more blocks to build off of next year in the program. Purdue has also won 2 games in a row and have won 4 of their previous 5 games, knocking off some good teams during that time like Michigan State. Purdue will be missing a few of their starters in this game for various reasons and I think that is going to have a big impact on the way they play in this game. They are going to be missing their star WR David Bell since he has declared for the 2022 NFL draft along with a few others of their key players on both offense and defense. I think that Tennessee should have an easier time scoring on this weakened defense but their offense has looked really good anyway so I'm expecting them to score a lot of points here. I also think that Purdue is not going to be as good on offense as they have been all year with their missing players and Tennessee has a decent defense so I expect them to get a lot of stops here. I like Tennessee to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-20 Tennessee. |

12-29-21 | LSU v. Auburn -4 | Top | 55-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: AUBURN (10* GAME OF WEEK). LSU has a big target on its back with a 12-0 record. The Tigers are off a relatively simple 95-60 win over Lipscomb last time out. The Tigers average 79.6 PPG, while allowing only 54.1. Auburn is 11-1. It's 6-0 at home. It averages 81.1 PPG, while conceding 64.9. Three players average double figures for LSU. Three players average double figures for the home side as well. LSU has been fantastic, but it faces its toughest test of the year at Auburn. I say that home court advantage is the difference-maker! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

T.M. Selection: Clemson (10* MONEY-MAKER). Clemson is going for its sixth straight win today. The Tigers are coming off a 30-0 win over South Carolina, whil the Cyclones enter off a 48-14 win over TCU. The Tigers won seven of their last eight games after a slow start to the year. The Tigers average 26.8 PPG, while allowing 16.1. DJ Uiagalelei has 2,059 passing yards, nine TD's and nine INT's. Iowa State averages 34.4 PPG, while allowing 21.5. QB Brock Purdy has 2,984 passing yards, 18 TD's and seven INT's. RB Breece Hall has 1,472 ruishing yards and 20 TD's, along with 953 receiving yards and five TD's. The only problem for Iowa State here though is that Hall has already left for the NFL draft. That's a HUGE problem for Iowa State facing this elite level Tigers' defense. That's the difference-maker today for me guys. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

12-28-21 | Northwestern State +38 v. Baylor | 68-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northwestern State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Baylor is going to run up this score in the first half. Then, it'll take the foot off the proverbial gas pedal in the second. The Demons are 3-10 and the Bears are 11-0. Northwestern State is off an 80-61 loss to Texas A@M. I predict a similar final combined score here as well, as we can expect the Bears to use their bench in the second half as they then look ahead to league play starting, starting off with a tough road game at Iowa State on January 1st. This is just WAY too many points to be giving up to a Northwestern State side that averages nearly 70 PPG. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

12-28-21 | Bucks v. Magic +13 | Top | 127-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10*). The Magic aren't likely to win this one outright. Milwaukee is a huge favorite here. It finished the first half with 3 straight W's before X-Mas. That included a 117-113 victory at home over Boston in its most recent. This is an interesting stretch though for the Bucks, who play again here two nights from now, followed by games against New Orleans, the Pistons and the Raptors. All of those teams are horrible. I think the Bucks come out flat here after the X-Mas break and that's going to be the opportunity that we can take advantage of here. The Magic play with revenge after a 123-92 loss to the Bucks as 13.5-point dogs on November 22nd, and they're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after a SU/ATS loss in which they were held to 95 points or less in. Look for Orlando to make this one "interesting!" T.M. Prediction: 110-105 Milwaukee. |

12-28-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs puckline (10* GAME OF WEEK). Are the Lightning the better team in this matchup? They are for sure. Will the Montreal Canadiens roll over? They certainly won't. It's a rematch of last year's Finals and I think this game will be decided late, or even in extra time. Tampa won its final three games before the break, but with a contest at rival Florida up next on Thursday, this sets up as a classic "look-ahead" spot. Montreal on the other hand broke a 7-game slide before Christmas by beating Philadelphia 3-2 in a shootout. The Habs won't be in the playoffs, but they'll be out to make adjustments in the 2nd half of the season. Expect that to happen tonight. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. |

12-27-21 | Dolphins -2.5 v. Saints | 20-3 | Win | 100 | 37 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins. I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Monday. The Dolphins are 1 of the hottest teams in the league by far. They started their year 1-7 but they have won 6 games in a row to get back to an even record and put themselves in the conversation for the playoffs. I like them to continue their hot streak here and win another game knowing that their last 2 games of the year are against some very tough opposing teams like the Titans and the Patriots so I think the Dolphins will want to take advantage and win this game here. Their offense has looked good in their games lately putting up 20+ points in 5 games in a row and they even put up 30+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Their offense has been good but their defense has been the real stars for them. In their last 6 games in a row, they haven't given up more than 10 points in 4 of those games and their defense has been really stout in those games. The Saints have won 2 games in a row and they just had a big win against the Buccaneers in their most recent game where they shut out Tom Brady and his offense with a 9-0 win. I think that was the game that the Saints players were really preparing for and I expect them to have a bit of a let down game here after that great performance. The Saints still have a bad QB situation going on and I think that the Dolphins are just a better team at the moment with the current active players. The Dolphins have been riding this momentum all year since they started their win streak and I think it is going to continue into this game. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-10 Dolphins. |

12-27-21 | Rockets v. Hornets -6.5 | 99-123 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Charlotte Hornets. I like the Charlotte Hornets to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Monday. The Hornets had lost 3 games in a row but they looked a lot better in their most recent game which they won on the road over the Nuggets. They just played 6 games in a row on the road and this will be their 1st game back at home from that road trip. The Hornets have been a much better team on the road than at home this year with an 8-4 record there. Most of the players have returned to the Hornets too so they should have a pretty healthy team for this game. The Rockets have lost 3 games in a row and they only have 1 win in their previous 6 games. They were on a big win streak over a week ago but their luck has run out and they have hit another slump again. The Rockets have the worst record in the West and are 1 of the worst teams in the league. They have also been terrible on the road this year where they are 3-16 in those games. They have already played 4 games in a row on the road and this is their last game of the road trip that they are on. I think the Rockets are just trying to make it home at this point and I expect them to come out flat here with this being the final game of a long road trip for them. The Hornets play much better at home and with a lot of their players back in the lineup for this game, I think they are going to be tough to stop on their home court. I think the Hornets are a much better team but they are also playing like it lately. I like the Hornets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 124-107 Hornets. |

12-26-21 | Nuggets -4 v. Clippers | 103-100 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the LA Clippers in this game on Sunday. The Nuggets have lost 2 games in a row and they haven't looked great in those games either but I think this is a great spot for them to break that bad run and get a must needed win here. The Nuggets have a losing record this year while the Clippers have a record 2 games in the positive but the Clippers aren't going to be at full strength for this game and I think that the Nuggets can take advantage of that. Nikola Jokic is going to play and he is the backbone of their team, leading them to victory by himself on some nights. The Nuggets are also getting a few other starters back for this game so their lineup should have an extra boost in it here. The Clippers haven't looked that great in their games lately either. They won their most recent game but they had lost 3 games in a row right before that win. They beat the Kings by 16 in their most recent game but that win came at a very high cost. Paul George was injured in that game and he won't be back until January and without him in the lineup here, I don't think the Clippers have enough firepower to win this game. George out of the lineup is going to be a huge blow to them and they were already not playing their best coming into this game. I think the Nuggets can take advantage of them here so I like the Nuggets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 107-96 Nuggets. |

12-26-21 | Broncos v. Raiders | 13-17 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Broncos have been a very up and down team this year with their wins and losses. They lost their most recent game against the Bengals 15-10 but Teddy Bridgewater was injured in that game so they had to scramble together a game plan for their backup QB the rest of that game. Now they have some time to prepare Drew Lock for this game and he has had some experience in the NFL as a starter, especially against these Raiders. He played the Raiders 2 times last year and lost both games but I think this is his chance for redemption. They lost their 1st game against the Raiders badly last year but their 2nd game against them at home was still a loss but Lock played much better putting up 31 points in that game including a 90+ yard pass to Jerry Jeudy. Lock is not terrible as a starting QB, he is 8-10 in his career which isn't great but it's also a lot better than a lot of the other backup QB's records in this league. He is really 8-9 too because 1 of those losses he is credited with was a game he started but left the 1st quarter injured when it was still 0-0. The Broncos still have a lot of good pieces at RB and WR and they also have a great defense that will be able to support Lock here. I think with the pieces in place, Lock has a very good chance at succeeding in this game and finally getting that win against the Raiders he's been looking for. The Raiders have also been very up and down this year and they are the type of team where you never really know which team is going to show up for them in each game. They have had to battle a lot of challenges and distractions off the field between coaches and players and that has really put a dent in their year. The Raiders will also be missing a few of their key players on the offense here and I think that the Broncos will be able to stop them with their defense. Both teams are going to be desperate here as their playoff hopes are on the line but the Broncos will not only just be playing desperate for the win, their QB will be desperate to play well and show he can be a starter in this league. I think the players on the Broncos have a lot of different reasons to be motivated to win this game and i like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Broncos. |

12-26-21 | Lions +7 v. Falcons | Top | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons in this game on Sunday. The Lions have been having a very rough season this year being the only winless team through 10 games but now they have 2 wins under their belt and they have looked a lot better in their games lately than at the beginning of the year. The Lions have started to pick up some steam lately with their 2 wins on the year coming in their previous 3 games. Their most recent game was a big win against the Cardinals 30-12 and they looked really good in that game. I think that the Lions can continue that play into this game and they have been bringing the same heart and passion into every game this year already so this team has the fire inside them to win a bunch of games and end their year on a good note. The Falcons are not a good team and they haven't been having a great year either. The Falcons have actually lost 2 of their previous 3 games including their most recent game where they were slaughtered by the 49ers 31-13. The Falcons have lost a few players throughout the year and they know that their playoff hopes have been shot already. The Falcons are just trying to limp to the finish line in these last 3 games but the Lions are the complete opposite. After that terrible start, the Lions are finally looking like a competitive team and I think that their players and their coaches want to win out their year so they have some good building blocks to build on come next year. The Lions have been heating up lately and they have the momentum on their side here. I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 Lions. |

12-26-21 | Bucs -9.5 v. Panthers | 32-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Carolina Panthers in this game on Sunday. The Buccaneers had won 4 games in a row and they were really starting to heat up until they hit a bump in the road last week with a very bad 9-0 loss to the Saints. That was the 1st time in many years that Tom Brady was completely shut out in a game and he was visibly upset about it on the sideline as he smashed 1 of their tablets that he was using. Brady has a competitive fire in him that is still burning strong at his age and this is not the type of loss that he is just going to forget about and move on to the next game. That was a loss that is going to linger with him until he proves he is not that guy and I think he is going to have a big game here just to make up for the way they played in that last game. Their offense had scored 30+ points in 4 games in a row before getting shut out by the Saints. The Panthers have not been having a great year and they have lost 4 games in a row now. They started the year 3-0 but they have slipped to last place in their division and their year is pretty much over now. They have had to deal with injuries to their QB and their star RB McCaffrey and the hill has become too steep to climb for them. The Buccaneers are looking to wrap this division up and they can do that with a win here. I think because they scored 0 points in their previous game that Brady is going to overcompensate now and put up a ton of points here. The Panthers have been struggling to win games with Cam Newton and their current QB situation and I expect that to continue here. I like the Buccaneers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-13 Buccaneers. |

12-26-21 | Ravens v. Bengals -7 | 21-41 | Win | 100 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Baltimore Ravens in this game on Sunday. This is a very important game to both of these teams because of the playoff implications of this game. These 2 teams are tied for 1st place in their division with the same record so not only will the winner of this game have an advantage with 2 games left to go after, but it could also mean a lot to the whoever wins if these teams end up finishing with the same overall record. The Bengals already beat the Ravens earlier this year so if they win again then they will for sure have the tiebreaker over the Ravens on the chance that there is a tie for 1st at the end. They didn't just beat the Ravens that 1st time though, they destroyed the Ravens on their own home field 41-17 and that was with Lamar Jackson playing. Now Jackson is out for this game with an injury and his team will be on the road in this game. The Bengals haven't looked great in their games lately but their team is pretty healthy for this game and that should play a big part in their win here. Their offense still has their star QB, RB, and WR out there so their ceiling is a lot higher with that potential to have a big game at any moment compared to the Ravens who will be missing their leader and most dynamic player out on the field. The Ravens have lost 3 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible with all of those losses within 2 points. They have lost a few of those games on last minute tying TDs that they have scored but then failed the 2-pt conversion to win the game. The decision making by Harbaugh in these situations have been terrible though and it is going to come back to bite them and if he keeps being this reckless. The Bengals are at home with a much healthier team and they know they can take advantage of the Ravens here and put themselves in a great position to win the division. I think this is a game that all of the Bengals players will get up for. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Bengals. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Nets v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 122-115 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Saturday. The Lakers haven't looked great in their games lately losing 4 games in a row. They will be missing a few players here because of injury and covid but they will still have LeBron James playing in this game and I expect him to carry his team here and lift them to a much needed win to end their bad run of losing that they have been on. Luckily, the Nets are going to missing quite a few starters in this game for the same reasons including Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, and a bunch of their other support and bench players. I think that they are going to miss these players a lot in this game and they are not going to play as well in this game. James Harden will still be in this game but I don't think he is enough to carry the Nets here, he was already left alone in a game a little over a week ago against the Rockets and they lost that game with him in but Durant out. I think Durant is the heart of the Nets and without him in the lineup they are not going to be able to win this game. LeBron is getting up there in age but he is used to putting his team on his back and has done it many times throughout his career. I think with this being the Christmas Day game against a weakened Nets team and the Lakers in dire need of a win, LeBron should be putting the tam on his back here and I think with the current players in place, the Lakers are going to win this game. I like the Lakers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-104 Lakers. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers -7 | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Saturday. The Packers have looked great all year and they have been gaining steam in their games lately. They just keep winning games and they now possess the number 1 seed in the NFC with the best record. Their offense has looked great and has been putting up 30+ points in 4 games in a row. Their previous game was a win by 1 point over the Ravens but they had won 2 games in a row before that one by 10+ points. The Browns have been dealing with some covid issues lately and they barely had a team to put out against the Raiders last week. They should be getting some starters back here including their QB but Mayfield has been dealing with some other injuries too and he is not even 100% for this game. Their offense has looked really bad lately even with Mayfield playing in the game, they have only scored 20+ points in 1 of their previous 5 games. I think that the Packers have been playing much better lately and Aaron Rodgers is having another great year and is in the conversation for MVP. Rodgers is playing great and I think he will be able to lead his offense well here and pull away against the Browns who have been struggling to win games for weeks now. I think it is going to be tough for the Browns to stop Rodgers here so I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Packers. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | 49ers v. Titans +3 | 17-20 | Win | 101 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee Titans. I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers in this game on Thursday. The Titans looked a lot better in their previous 2 games with a shut out win over the Jaguars and then a great 1st half performance in their most recent game against the Steelers but they completely collapsed in the 2nd half of that game and ended up losing it. The Titans should be getting much healthier for this game though and I think that is going to play a big part here. Both Julio Jones and AJ Brown are expected to play in this game so that will give a much needed boost to their offense as Tannehill with have some very talented players to throw the ball to. I think that having both of them back is going to be a big factor in this game and make it much tougher for the 49ers defense to stop them. The 49ers have also started to pick up some steam in their games lately but I think that the defense of the Titans will be able to lay the hammer down on this 49ers offense and come up with some big stops. Neither of these teams really have a good running game at the moment so I expect there to be a lot of passing in this game. I think this is going to come down to the defense here and I think the Titans are playing much better at the moment and will be able to slow down the 49ers offense. I like the Titans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 26-23 Titans. |

12-23-21 | Pelicans -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Thursday. The Pelicans have looked good in their games lately winning 3 in a row. The Pelicans are still 1 of the worst teams in the league but they have 4 more wins than the Magic have and the Pelicans have started to gain some steam in their previous games. They have been playing a lot better lately and they have won a majority of their games this year in their L10. They just beat the Trail Blazers in their most recent game by 14 points and that was on a night that Lillard was 1 point short of 40 in that game. The Magic have looked terrible this year and they have been having an even worse year than the Pelicans have. The Magic have won 2 games in a row but their wins were not that impressive. They beat a Hawks team that was missing Trae Young in their most recent game and in the 1 before that they beat a Nets team that was missing both Durant and Harden. They had lost 7 games in a row before winning those 2. The Pelicans have been having a bad year too so they will not be looking at the Magic like a good opportunity to rest some of their stars, they will be looking at it like a great opportunity to win another game. I expect the Pelicans to come out and play well in this game. The Pelicans are also a lot healthier than the Magic are since the Magic have a bunch of players on the covid list. I think that even if they get some of their players back, there is no team that they can put together to play well enough to keep this game close. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-92 Pelicans. |

12-23-21 | Central Florida +6.5 v. Florida | 29-17 | Win | 100 | 150 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Central Florida. I like Central Florida to cover the spread against Florida in this game on Thursday. UCF looked really good near the end of their year winning 5 of their final 6 games. Gus Malzahn did a good job getting them moving in the right direction this year and for the 1st time in a while, UCF actually has a pretty good defense that isn't getting gashed for points all the time. They have given up less than 20 points in 5 of their previous 6 games and their offense has still looked good during that time too. They have scored 28+ in more than half of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year. Florida barely made it into this game with a 6-6 record this year and they had to win their final game of the year just to become eligible for a bowl game, and they won that game just by 3 points at home over their rival Florida State. Their coach Dan Mullen has already left the school for another next year and they will just be trying to get by this game and get to next year when Billy Napier takes over the program. I don't think that the Florida players really have any motivation to play hard in this game after a season that was a lot lower than the bar they had set for themselves this year. I think the UCF players will be motivated to try to get a win here and cap off the 1st year of progress that new coach Malzahn has put together in this program. Emory Jones has also entered the transfer portal along with a few other players so Florida will not even be playing this game with all of their top players. I like UCF to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-27 Central Florida. |

12-22-21 | Virginia Tech v. Duke -9 | 65-76 | Win | 100 | 17 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread against Virginia Tech in this game on Wednesday. Duke has looked really good in their games lately ever since suffering their only loss of the year to Ohio State at the end of November. They have played 3 games since then winning all 3 in a row and all of those wins were by 20+ points. Duke has played 3 games against ranked teams this year and all of those games were within 10 points but every other game they have played against unranked teams, they have won by 10+ points. They have been scoring 85+ points in their previous 3 games and their defense has also looked good not giving up more than 67 points in any of those games. With this being coach K's last year there I expect Duke to come and play hard in every game trying to give him 1 last great year to cap off his tenure there. Duke was ranked 1st in the country briefly after taking down 1st place Gonzaga but then lost to Ohio State in their next game and lost that spot. I expect them to keep playing all year like they want to blow every team out and get back to that 1st place rank. Virginia Tech has looked alright this year but they have had a much weaker schedule than Duke has and they have been very up and down lately. They just beat St. Bonaventure in their most recent game by 30+ points and that is their 2nd win by 30+ points in their previous 4 games but they also have a loss at home by 19 to Wake Forest and a road loss by 5 to Dayton during that time too. Duke is ranked 2nd in the country at the moment and with this being the start of their conference play this year, I expect them to hold nothing back in this game. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-66 Duke. |

12-21-21 | Georgia State v. Georgia Tech -5 | Top | 62-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Tech. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread against Georgia State in this game on Tuesday. Georgia Tech had a great start to their year with a 5-1 record in their 1st 6 games but they have fallen into a slump lately losing 4 games in a row. I think this is a great game for them to bounce back, they are getting a team at home that they are much better than and this is a state rivalry game so i expect the Georgia Tech players to get up for this game. Georgia Tech has lost 4 games in a row but they have had a very tough schedule during that time facing 3 ranked teams and 1 team that wasn't ranked but is very good at 6-2 this year. Before that losing skid, they had won all but 1 of their wins by 9+ points and looked really good playing on their home court. Georgia State has not looked that great in their games lately, they have had alternating wins and losses over their previous 4 games and they only have those 2 wins in their previous 5 games. They have played a much weaker schedule than Georgia Tech has too so their wins haven't even been that impressive. They have really struggled in their games against better teams though, including some 10+ point losses against teams like Mississippi State, Rhode Island, and Richmond. I think Georgia Tech is a much better team than Georgia State is and I think Tech is going to be very happy in this game with a nice chance to end their losing skid. I expect them to play well in this game and pull away in it early sustaining their lead the whole game. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-56 Georgia Tech. |

12-21-21 | Blazers -2 v. Pelicans | 97-111 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers looked a lot better in their most recent game against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have been really hot lately and the Trail Blazers went into that building winning by 5 points in their previous game. I think they are going to carry that momentum over into this game and continue to play well winning this game too. Lillard had a great game in their previous one but he didn't have to do it himself in that game and got some help from the players around him. I am expecting another great team effort from them here and I like them to keep playing at a high level led by Lillard. The Pelicans have won 2 games in a row and they have won 3 of their previous 4 games but I think that they have been overachieving in these games and I expect them to come back down to Earth soon since they aren't that good of a team and are still missing Zion in their lineup who looks like he won't be back at all this year. I think the fatigue is going to start eating away at Brandon Ingram and I don't think Valanciunas is good enough to carry the team himself. I think it is only a matter of time before these Pelicans start to break down and I like what i saw from Lillard and the Trail Blazers in their most recent game. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 112-104 Trail Blazers. |

12-21-21 | Seahawks +6.5 v. Rams | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Seahawks. I like the Seattle Seahawks to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Tuesday. The Seahawks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have won 2 games in a row now. Russell Wilson has looked a lot better in their games too ever since suffering that finger injury. They have put 30+ points in their 2 most recent games and their defense has even looked a lot better in those games, they haven't given up 20+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. The Seahawks have been having a rough year with a losing record and they really don't have a great chance at making the playoffs but they do have a good chance to put a damper on the Rams' hopes of winning the division with a win in this game. A Rams loss pretty much clinches the division for the Cardinals and I don't think the Seahawks are going to just roll over here knowing they still have an impact on the season here. The Rams have also looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 in a row but 1 of those wins was against the Jaguars which is not impressive at all and the other was against the Cardinals in their most recent game and that was a game that they really played hard in so I'm expecting them to have a let down spot here after playing that tough game on Monday night. Russell Wilson seems to be almost fully back to his old self and as long as he is in the game he gives the Seahawks a chance to win any game as he is a great playmaker. I think he can keep his team hanging around in this game. I like the Seahawks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Rams. |

12-21-21 | Wyoming -3 v. Kent State | 52-38 | Win | 100 | 98 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming. I like Wyoming to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Tuesday. Wyoming has not looked good in their games lately near the end of the year but this team is happy to be in a bowl game at all after the way their year started to go sideways on them and I think that they are going to get up for this game and try to bring home the win. Wyoming has been very up and down this year but they have shown some flashes on offense putting up 30+ points in a lot of their games, but then they have also not looked good in some games and have stayed under 20 points in those games. I think this is 1 of those games that they can score 30+ points in because Kent State has a terrible defense and they gave up 40+ points in their conference championship game, their most important game all year and their defense still looked terrible. I don't think the Kent State players are going to get up for this game since this is not the bowl game they wanted to play in. They had their sights set on getting their revenge over Northern Illinois in the title game and winning the MAC title but they didn't get to do any of that as they lost to Northern Illinois for the 2nd time this year losing 41-23 in the title game. Kent State has given up 40+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year in their games. Their defense is really bad and I think Wyoming is going to be able to score on them with ease. I am also expecting Kent State to come out and play this game with no heart so I see Wyoming pulling away in a lopsided game here. I like Wyoming to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Wyoming. |

12-20-21 | Vikings v. Bears +6.5 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears. I like the Chicago Bears to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Monday night. The Bears have lost 2 games in a row but their offense has taken a big step with Justin Fields at QB in those games. They have been moving the ball well putting up 22 and then 30 points and I think that he is going to continue to improve here and play another good game. They will be at home here and I think that environment is going to help Fields feel more comfortable and play better while also hurting the Vikings since they are just 2-5 on the road this year. The Vikings haven't really been blowing teams out this year either and they are the team in the NFL who has had the most 1 score games and the most games decided in the last minute of play or on the last drive of the game. They won their most recent game on Prime Time by 8 points over the Steelers but they had a 29-0 lead in that game and managed to blow it since the Steelers had a chance to tie the game with no time left on the clock but the ball was dropped in the end zone or that would just be another close game for them that they could have lost. Kirk Cousins has also been terribly bad in his career on Monday nights and he is just 1-9 in Monday games for his career. I think the Vikings are going to once again play down to their competition here and I like the progress that I have seen in the past weeks from Fields and the Bears offense. This could be a sneaky upset game so I like the Bears to keep this close and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Bears. |

12-20-21 | Oral Roberts -3 v. South Dakota | 82-73 | Win | 100 | 15 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oral Roberts. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread against South Dakota in this game on Monday. This is the 1st game of their conference play for both teams here and I am expecting Oral Roberts to get off on the right foot with a big conference win here. They have looked good in their games lately with a 60+% winning percentage over their past 3 and 5 games. Oral Roberts has 6 wins this year and their lowest margin of victory was by 7 points, when they are going to win the game they usually win it comfortably. They have looked good in their games on defense lately and that has helped them win some of their games. They haven't given up 70+ points in their previous 3 games and they came out of those with 2 wins. South Dakota haven't looked terrible in their games and they have won 2 games in a row now. They have looked as good as Oral Roberts has on defense though and I think that is going to be a major factor in this game. I think Oral Roberts is the better team here and I think they are going to play some good defense to get some stops and pull away with their lead in this game. They are playing their 1st conference game here on the road so defense will be key in this tough environment for them to win this game and I expect that to be a big part of their game plan. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-62 Oral Roberts. |
|||||||
12-20-21 | Raiders v. Browns -2 | 16-14 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns. I like the Cleveland Browns to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Monday. Both of these teams have covid running through them lately and a lot of star players from both sides are going to miss this game. The Browns will have QB Nick Mullens starting here but he has had some success with the 49ers as a backup in recent years so I think that he will not be terrible in this game and keep them in it with a chance to win it. They will still have Nick Chubb playing and I think that they are going to lean heavily on him to carry the load in this game. The Raiders are not healthy either, Carr is playing in this game but he will be missing 1 of their best weapons in Darren Waller and their running game is not that strong to lean on either. They also have a lot of key defensive players on their covid list and their defense has already looked bad in quite a few games this year with those players playing. I think this is going to be a more boring game since a lot of the star players are out and I think the Browns are going to play well with Mullens at QB and I think their running game is going to win this game for them at home here. With this game being rescheduled to Tuesday there is a chance that some of the starters are back for both teams but either way I think the browns are better and getting their starters back will only strengthen my decision to back them here. I like the Browns to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Browns. |

12-19-21 | Mavs +3.5 v. Wolves | 105-111 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Sunday. The Mavericks have looked a lot better in their games lately and have looked like they're starting to find their stride without Doncic in the lineup. They had won 2 games in a row before losing to the Lakers in their most recent game by 3 points in OT. I think they are going to have a bad taste in their mouths from that close loss and I expect them to bounce back with a win in this game since they haven't looked bad in those games. Jalen Brunson has been picking up the slack on offense in the absence of Doncic and Porzingis gives them a much needed high level of defense that will keep them in their games and help them extend their lead. The Timberwolves have been very up and down this year and have now won 3 games in a row ahead of this game. Their most recent win was a big win over the Lakers but I don't think their good fortune is going to continue into this game. The Mavericks have been having a disappointing year and I expect them to start going on a big run to get them up into a playoff spot and contending. They had some rocky games without Doncic on the floor but they have started to adjust to playing without him and Brunson has been making up for him on offense. I think the Mavericks are going to start looking a lot better in their games and I think they have a good shot at winning this game. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-111 Mavericks. |

12-19-21 | Cardinals -12.5 v. Lions | 12-30 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Cardinals just lost in their most recent game on MNF against the Rams, a division rival. They had a chance to clinch their division in that game but they failed as Kyler Murray did not have the best start to that game. I think that the Cardinals are too good to lose 2 games in a row here, especially with that 2nd game being against the 1 win Lions, and I think that they are going to be looking to get back into the win column here and keep moving toward a playoff spot. The Cardinals have 10 wins this year and only 2 of those wins were by less than 10 points. They don't just win their games but they destroy teams in the process and I think they are going to do the same to the Lions here. The Lions have been having a really bad year with just 1 win. They won their 1st game of the season just a few weeks ago but then they lost their very next game by 28 points in Denver. The Lions don't lose all of their games like this and they have played in some really close games that they have lost this year but I think this is going to be another 1 of those games that they get destroyed in. The Cardinals have not just looked good on offense this year but they have looked really good on defense too. I don't think the Lions will be able to move the ball well with the limited options they have over there. The Cardinals have also shown their depth this year with a few wins under backup QB Colt McCoy. I think the Cardinals are too good a team to have this stay a close game. I like the Cardinals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-14 Cardinals. |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Cowboys -10.5 v. Giants | Top | 21-6 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Cowboys have been dealing with their own covid situation lately but they have still been winning games with a weaker team and now they have been getting healthier each week and should have most of their weapons on the offensive side back in this game. They have won their previous 2 games by 7+ points but they were blowing teams out weeks ago when they were playing very well and I expect that to start getting back to that as they start their playoff run while getting a lot of starters back. The Giants have looked terrible on offense in their games lately. They have scored 20+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games but they haven't really done anything great since firing their OC Jason Garrett a few weeks ago. Obviously that was not the issue with this offense and I think they are going to continue to struggle in this game with Mike Glennon as their QB. Glennon has a losing record as a starter in the NFL. I think this is a get right spot for the Cowboys here, they can pretty much wrap up their division with a win here and I expect them to dominate the Giants for 60 minutes here. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. |

12-18-21 | Oregon State v. Utah State +7.5 | Top | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State. I like Utah State to cover the spread against Oregon State in this game on Saturday. Utah State is getting around 7 points in this game and they finished the year off with a much better record than Oregon State did at 10-3 and they are a conference champion after beating San Diego State in the MWC title game. Other than 1 slip up against Wyoming, Utah State looked really good in their final games of the year and they were winning their games by large margins. They won the conference championship game alone by 30+ points, putting up 46 points on the San Diego State defense that was really good all year long. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and all 5 of those wins were by 20+ points. Utah State has been having a great year on both offense and defense. Oregon State has been very up and down this year though. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but have lost 3 of their previous 5 games and their defense has looked bad in all of those games whether they won or lost. They didn't give up more than 15+ points in their previous 2 wins but they have given up 20+ points in most of their wins this year. They have lost 5 games this year and they have given up 30+ points in all of those games. Oregon State does not have a good defense and I think that is going to be a huge problem here with the way that Utah State has looked on offense. I think Utah State is going to keep scoring in this game and run up the score on Oregon State to the point where they won't be able to come back. I think Utah State is better and has a good chance at winning this game with all of the momentum they have from their conference championship. I like Utah State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Utah State. |

12-18-21 | UTEP v. Fresno State -11 | 24-31 | Loss | -112 | 25 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Fresno State. I like Fresno State to cover the spread against UTEP in this game on Saturday. Fresno State had a great year and they finished strong with 5 wins in their final 6 games but if it wasn't for a loss to Boise State, they would've been in the MWC title game. Their defense looked really good in their final games, they did not give up 10+ points in their 2 most recent games and they put up 30+ points in both of those games, winning each by 20+ points. I think Fresno State's defense will be able to shut down the UTEP offense here and Fresno has looked so good on offense lately that I am expecting them to pull away more and more as this game goes on. UTEP had a great start to their year and were 6-1 going into the 2nd half of the year but they really slipped up in their games and started to look really bad on the field. After starting the year 6-1, they finished the year 7-5 meaning that they went 1-4 down the final stretch of the year. They played some tough teams like UAB and UTSA who went on to win the conference title, but they also lost games to Florida Atlantic and North Texas which is not a good look on them. UTEP didn't look good on defense either and they were giving up a lot of points in their final games of the season. They gave up 28+ points in their 2 most recent games, 1 of those teams being Rice and their terrible offense. They have also given up 28+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and I think that Fresno State is going to have no troubles moving the ball down the field and scoring points here. UTEP does not have a great offense either and I think that they will struggle to score with the way that Fresno State's defense has looked lately. I like Fresno State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Fresno State. |

12-17-21 | Villanova v. Creighton +7 | 59-79 | Win | 100 | 15 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Creighton. I like Creighton to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Friday. Creighton has looked good in their games lately and they will be playing this game on their home court to start off their conference play this year. With this being the 1st game of their conference play, I expect Creighton to play hard here and put up a good fight at home against this ranked conference rival. Creighton has lost 2 of their previous 3 games but 1 of those losses was against the 11th ranked Iowa State and the other was against Arizona State but they lost that game by 1 point and they lost the game to Iowa State by 6 points. They have only lost 3 games this year and only 1 of their losses was by 7+ points. Creighton has also been playing well in their home games lately and their 3 most recent wins there were all by 10+ points. Creighton has been playing good defense lately too and they have only given up 70+ points in 1 of their previous 6 games. I think that Creighton can shut down Villanova here with their defense and Villanova is even coming off of a game where they only put up 36 points. I think Villanova is going to struggle with their shooting again in this game and they haven't been all that great when they aren't at home either. They have 3 losses this year and 2 of them came on the road while the other was at a neutral venue. This building is going to be packed with Creighton fans since this is the start of their conference play and I think that it is going to make it a tough time for Villanova to play here and score points on that defense when their shooting has been bad lately. They have shot under 35% in their 2 most recent games now and they were even shooting less than 25% in their most recent game. I think Creighton will put up a good fight in this game and I think they have a chance to even win this game. I like Creighton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 66-62 Creighton. |

12-17-21 | Warriors -3 v. Celtics | 111-107 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Friday. The Warriors are the best team in the league this year, they are tied for the best record in the league with the Suns but they have looked really good in their games this year and they don't even have 1 of their stars Klay Thompson back from injury yet. The Warriors are only going to get stronger when he returns but Steph Curry has made it his mission in the mean time to keep his team at the top while they wait after missing the playoffs the last year. The Warriors are great on both sides of the ball, they have put up 100+ points in 6 of their previous 7 games and they have held the opposing team to under 100 points in 4 of those games. They have won 4 of their previous 5 games and a majority of them were won by 10+ points, and that has been a common theme for them in their games lately. The Warriors have a lot of skilled bench depth and support role players that are contributing to their offense and defense and they are 1 of the most complete teams in the NBA at the moment. The Celtics have not looked nearly as good as the Warriors have in their games lately and they have even lost 3 of their previous 4 games. They won their most recent game against the Bucks but Tatum had to put up 40+ points himself in that game just to get it done for them and that is not going to happen every night. I think that the Warriors are the better team here but they have also just looked better in their games lately and are playing like it with all of those wins stacking up while the Celtics have looked bad and keep stringing losses together. I think the Celtics are no match for the Warriors here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-101 Warriors. |

12-16-21 | Knicks -6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Thursday. The Knicks have lost 4 games in a row and I think they are going to bounce back big in this game. They haven't been winning games lately but they have looked a lot better on the court ever since taking Kemba Walker out of the rotation. They haven't let an opposing team score 113+ points in 3 games in a row but 2 of those games they did not give up more than 105 points. Thibodeaux has this team moving in the right direction preaching the defense to his players so I expect their defensive efforts to keep getting better and better in every game. The Rockets have looked really bad in most of their games this year, they only have 9 wins and 7 of those wins all came in a row on a big win streak they went on. They have started to look bad in their games again lately and have only won 1 game in their previous 4. The Rockets are also missing a lot of starters in this game and even if Gordon and Wood end up playing, it is not going to be enough to beat the Knicks here when they won't even be at 100%. The Rockets just lost their most recent game to the Cavaliers by 30+ points and they didn't even get to 90 points in that game. I think the Knicks are going to play great defense in this game and ensure that they break out of their bad run with a big win against the Rockets who are 1 of the worst teams in the league already and are missing key players here. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 107-92 Knicks. |

12-16-21 | Alcorn State v. Tulsa -13.5 | 62-83 | Win | 100 | 14 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tulsa. I like Tulsa to cover the spread against Alcorn State in this game on Thursday. Tulsa has been having a rough year and they recently went into a slump but they won their most recent game and busted out of that funk with a nice home win. Tulsa has not been blowing out other teams this year and they have only won 1 game all year by this many points but that game was against Little Rock and they are playing a team here that is a lot worse than Little Rock. Alcorn State is a low scoring team that has been getting blown out by teams on multiple occasions and Tulsa has looked pretty good on defense lately. Tulsa has not given up 66+ points in 3 games in a row and Alcorn State has only put up that many points in 2 different games this year, and they were both their 1st 2 games of the year. Alcorn State has lost 3 games in a row all by 15+ points and all of those losses were against teams from the same conference as Tulsa. Alcorn State has already shown this year a repeated failure to win or even stay in their games against AAC teams and I think they are going to struggle heavily again in this game on the road. Alcorn State is already a low scoring team averaging under 65 ppg this year and I think Tulsa's defense is going to stunt them even more here. I like Tulsa to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-57 Tulsa. |

12-15-21 | Rangers -1.5 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers -1.5. I like the New York Rangers -1.5 against the Arizona Coyotes in this game on Wednesday. The Rangers have lost 2 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. They have lost 3 of their previous 4 games but 2 of those losses were against the Avalanche who are starting to look really good now and the other was against the Predators which was a close 1-0 loss. They were on a big run before they started to lose those games and I expect them to get back on a run here since they are in the conversation as 1 of the best teams in the league this year. I don't think they could ask for a better game to bounce back in either since they're playing the Coyotes and the Coyotes are the worst team in the league and have the least number of wins. The Coyotes have lost 5 games in a row and all of those losses were by 2+ goals. They also only scored 1 goal in 3 of those 5 losses and really their goalie is the only person on the team who cane even give them a chance at winning. Even if he plays on his head in this game, the Rangers like to score goals and after a few bad games now they get a bottom feeding team in front of them, they are going to score some goals here and get right. I like the Rangers to win this game on the puckline here. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Rangers. |

12-15-21 | Portland +17.5 v. Oregon | Top | 71-96 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland. I like Portland to cover the spread against Oregon in this game on Wednesday. Portland has looked good in their games this year with an 8-3 start to the year. A lot of their wins this year have been close games but their has been a few that they won by 10+ points too. They have only lost 3 games all year and they did not even look terrible in those losses. Their biggest loss was by 16 points to Arizona State in their 1st game of the year but things translate over fully in that first game and they have gotten a lot better since that loss. They have lost 2 games since then and those were both losses by single digits. Their defense hasn't looked great but their offense is scoring in their games and has been keeping up with whatever team has been in front of them. Oregon was supposed to have a very promising year this year but that has turned into a disaster as they have 5 losses through 10 games already. They started great winning 3/4 games to start the year but they have lost 4/6 in their most recent games and haven't looked good in any of those games but 1. Their 1 impressive win was over Montana by 40 points but their other win was an unimpressive 6 point win over UC Riverside on their own home court and then they had 2 losses by 10+ points and 2 closer losses against other conference teams. Oregon has looked bad all year and they are playing bad in a lot of their games. Oregon is not going to win this game by double digits with the way they have been playing so I like Portland to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 66-62 Oregon. |

12-14-21 | USC Upstate v. Tennessee -34 | 52-96 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee. I like Tennessee to cover the spread against USC Upstate in this game on Tuesday. Tennessee has looked good this year, they only have 2 losses but both of those losses came against ranked teams and both were played at neutral venues. They have won a lot of their games this year by a lot of points, all of their 7 wins have been by 10+ points. They are going to be on their home court for this game and they are a perfect 5-0 there this year with their smallest margin of victory coming by 11 points against Tennessee Tech. Their other 4 wins at home were all by 28+ points. I think that Tennessee has looked really good on offense this year and they can put up a lot of points. They have also looked great on defense and have not given up 58+ points in 4 games in a row. I think that their defense has been great and I'm expecting them to hold USC Upstate to less than 60 points here or even less than 50. USC Upstate has not been having a good year with just 2 wins in their 9 games this year. They have stayed close in a few of their losses this year but their schedule has also been very weak. They just lost by 26 points to Wake Forest in their most recent game and Tennessee is a lot better than Wake Forest is. There has been a common theme all year with Tennessee destroying bad teams on their home court by 30+ points and sometimes even 40+ points. USC Upstate definitely falls under that category and I think they are going to get destroyed in this game. I like Tennessee to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 88-47 Tennessee. |

12-13-21 | Hornets v. Mavs -3 | 96-120 | Win | 100 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Monday. The Mavericks have been losing a lot of games lately but they looked a lot better in their most recent game with Hardaway and Porzingis back in their lineup. They won against OKC in that game which is not that impressive but they did win by 19 points and they didn't have Doncic playing in that game. Doncic has been ruled out for this game too but with Porzingis there I think he can play a good defensive game and keep the Hornets from scoring a lot of points. I also think having Hardaway back will help out their offense and I expect Jalen Brunson to pick up most of the slack in Doncic's absence here. The Hornets haven't looked that great lately either, they won their most recent game but just by 1 point at home and that is just their 2nd win in their previous 7 games. The Hornets have not been a good team on the road this year either. They do have a losing record in road games this year but they have also lost 3 of their previous 4 on the road. The Hornets aren't quite fully healthy for this game either and are missing a few starters. Ball has been ruled out and I think that is going to disrupt their flow and the way the Hornets move spread the ball around on the court. Mason Plumlee is also out and that is a major presence in the paint missing here. I think with the players playing in this game, the Mavericks have a much better lineup and will be able to put up the points needed to win here and hold off the Hornets from scoring a lot. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-96 Mavericks. |

12-13-21 | Northern Illinois v. Chicago State +1.5 | 70-59 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago State. I like Chicago State to cover the spread against Northern Illinois in this game on Monday. Chicago State has looked terrible this season but they are getting a team that is just as bad as they are here and they have a chance to get another win here. Chicago State only has 3 wins this year but all 3 of those wins came on their home court where they have a 3-1 record this year. They won 2 of those 3 games by 10+ points too in some pretty convincing wins. They just lost their most recent game at home but they were playing an Illinois State team that is much better but they did hang in there only losing by 9 points and still put up 71 in that game. They gave up 80 points in that game but their defense has looked a lot better against teams that are on par with them or much worse. They have only given up 70+ points in 1 of their wins this year and they held the other 2 teams to less than 60 points in their other 2 wins. Northern Illinois hasn't looked any better this year with just 2 wins in their 8 games. They have only won 1 game on the road all year and it was in their 1st game when teams are still trying to figure out how their team is going to look in a real game on the court. Since then, they have lost 4 games in a row on the road and all of those losses came by 10+ points except for 1. I think that the home advantage is going to play a big part in this game for Chicago State and I'm expecting Northern Illinois to struggle here like they have in most of their road games. I think Chicago State can win this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 66-60 Chicago State. |

12-12-21 | Florida v. Maryland +5 | 68-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maryland. I like Maryland to cover the spread against Florida in this game on Sunday. Maryland has lost 3 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible in those games. Their previous 2 losses were by 6 points or less in both games and their biggest loss this year was by 8 points. Even though they have lost 3 games in a row, their defense has looked good in all of those games. They gave up less than 65 points in 2 of those losses and the other game they gave up 67 which was the most of those 3. The most points they have given up in a loss all year would be 71 points to George Mason but they put up 66 themselves and only lost that game by 5 points. I think they are going to continue playing good defense in this game and stay in it with Florida. Florida only has 2 losses in their 9 games this year but those 2 losses were in their previous 3 games. Their most recent loss was really bad though, they lost on their own home court by 15 points to Texas Southern, and that was Texas Southern's 1st win this year and they were 0-7 going into that game. Florida has beaten up on some really bad teams this year but their schedule has not had a lot of quality teams on it. I think that Florida is going to struggle a bit against Maryland and that good defense here. I like Maryland to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 64-61 Florida. |

12-12-21 | Lions v. Broncos -10 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 52 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Broncos have been a very up and down team this year, they can't seem to beat a lot of the good teams but they can beat up on the really bad ones. They lost to the Eagles and the Chiefs by 10+ points but they also beat the Cowboys and the Chargers by 10+ points all in their previous 4 games. The Broncos have looked good in a lot of their games this year though. They have a great defense and they have a lot of weapons on their offense that could do a lot more damage if they had the right QB. Bridgewater has been getting by though and he is making the plays in their games to help them win. The Lions have looked terrible all year and they just got their 1st win of the year last week only 12 games into the season. They played well for most of that game but lost the lead late and had to fight back on the final drive just to score that winning TD with no time left. I think that game took a lot of energy out of them and I'm expecting a big let down for them after that win. They have to play this game in Denver too where the air is thin and it will be a struggle for a lot of their young and new players that don't have experience playing in Denver. The Broncos lost last week so they are going to hungry to bounce back in this game. I like the Broncos to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 33-13 Broncos. |

12-12-21 | Saints v. Jets +5.5 | 30-9 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Jets. I like the New York Jets to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Sunday. The Jets are going to be at home here and they have looked a lot better at home this year than on the road with 2 of their 3 wins this year coming at home. The defense has also looked better lately and has only given up 30+ points in 1 of their previous 3 games. Zach Wilson is back starting for them and he didn't look great in his last 2 starts but he has been improving in each game and I think that he will look a lot better here. The Saints have their own issues that they are dealing with. They have a lot of injuries to their defense and to their QB too. Taysom Hill is starting in this game but he is dealing with a finger injury and, from what we've seen from Russell Wilson and his finger injury this year, this is something that could drastically affect the way he throws the ball and completes passes. I think that they are going to struggle to score points and move the ball with Hill and his finger injury. Alvin Kamara is returning from injury and should play in this game but he is also banged up and if he plays he will likely still be heavily involved in the offense. He is really the only threat on their offense right now with their QB situation so if the Jets stop him then the Saints shouldn't be able to do much here. I think Wilson is going to have a much better game here and I expect Hill to have a bad game. I like the Jets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Jets. |

12-12-21 | Davidson -2.5 v. Northeastern | 79-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Davidson. I like Davidson to cover the spread against Northeastern in this game on Sunday. Davidson has looked really good in their games this year. They have won 5 games in a row in they have been destroying teams in those games. They have 6 wins this year and they have won all 6 games except for 1 by 10+ points, that 1 game being a 9 point win over East Carolina. Their 3 most recent wins were all by 15+ points. I think this team has a really good offense and they have been putting up 70+ points in all of their wins this year. Northeastern has won 3 games in a row but they have not looked as good as Davidson has in those wins. They also played in much closer games and none of those games were won by more than 10 points. They have won 6 games this year and only 2 of those wins were by more than 10 points. They have also lost 4 games and 3 of those losses were by 10+ points, the other was a loss by 8 points against Colgate who Northeastern ended up beating by 5 points when they played them again last week. Northeastern has been very up and down this year, they play in very close games when they win and they usually get destroyed in the games they lose. I think Davidson has been a lot better this year and I am expecting this to be one of those games that Northeastern gets destroyed in. Davidson can score a lot more than Northeastern can too so I think that Davidson is going to bury them early here. I like Davidson to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 76-56 Davidson. |

12-11-21 | Western Kentucky v. Ole Miss -4.5 | 71-48 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Western Kentucky in this game on Saturday. Ole Miss has looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 3 games in a row and 2 of them were by 10+ points. They have won 6 of their 8 games this year and 5 of those games they won by 10+ points with the other win coming by 4 points against Memphis in their most recent game. I think that Ole Miss is going to continue to roll over teams in this game and I am expecting a big win from them here in this big arena. Western Kentucky has looked up and down in their games this year. They are 5-4 this year but they are winning games big against bad teams and then getting destroyed when they play against teams a lot better than they are. Western Kentucky has 4 losses this year but their 3 most recent losses were all by 10+ points and they were against teams in much stronger conferences than them just like Ole Miss. Western Kentucky has also struggled to put up points in their losses against those better teams. In all of their losses this year, they did not put up 70+ points in any of those games but they did give up 70+ points in all of those games. Ole Miss has also looked great on defense in their games lately. They have gone 5 games in a row without giving up 65+ points to the opposing team. I think Ole Miss is a lot better here and I think they will be able to shut down Western Kentucky with their defense and pull away in this game. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-62 Ole Miss. |

12-11-21 | Jazz v. Wizards +5.5 | 123-98 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Wizards. I like the Washington Wizards to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Saturday. The Wizards had lost 3 games in a row and they didn't look that great in their games but they broke out of their funk in their most recent game with a road win. Now they will be at home here and they have played much better on their home court with an 8-3 record there. The Wizards have shocked this year as they came out of the gat and took over the East holding down the 1st place spot for a while. They have slipped down the standings a bit but they still look good on the court and I think that they are going to start another run now after breaking out of their mini slump. The Jazz have looked really good lately winning 6 games in a row but I think that the Wizards have a good chance of ending that run here. The Jazz have been putting up a ton of points on teams in their games but I think the Wizards can put a stop to them with their good defense. The Jazz have played 3 games in a row on the road and this game will be closing out a 4 game road trip for them. They have been playing so well for so long during that time and on the road that I think they are going to be a bit tired here and have a let down game. They have put up 125+ points in 4 of their previous 6 games and I don't think they will be able to sustain that for much longer. I think the Jazz are going to come out flat here and I think this is a game that the Wizards have a chance to even win this game. I like the Wizards to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 101-97 Wizards. |

12-11-21 | Missouri v. Kansas -22 | 65-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas. I like Kansas to cover the spread against Missouri in this game on Saturday. Kansas is the 8th ranked team in the country but they have looked really good ever since losing a close game to Dayton weeks ago. I think Kansas is going to continue their great play lately with another big win on their home court here. They have won 3 games in a row by 10+ points and their 2 most recent games were both won by 20+ points. They had a great defensive effort in their previous game. After 3 games in a row where they gave up 70+ points, they were able to hold UTEP to just 52. Kansas has had a pretty tough schedule so far this year but in their games that they were playing some lesser teams, they have been great on defense giving up less than 70 points in a lot of those games. Missouri has not looked great this year and they have been very up and down in their games. They are beating teams much worse than they are by 20+ points but then they are getting destroyed by the same amount in games where they are playing teams much better than they are. In 2 of Missouri's previous 3 losses, they lost by 20+ points and they have also lost 3 of their 4 losses this year by 10+ points. I think Kansas is going to play much better on defense after their previous game and I am expecting them to shut down Missouri in this game and not let them put up a lot of points. I also think Missouri won't be able to stop Kansas from scoring relentlessly in this game. I like Kansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-56 Kansas. |

12-10-21 | Bucks -8.5 v. Rockets | 123-114 | Win | 100 | 15 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Bucks. I like the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Friday. The Bucks have looked a lot better in their games lately now that their team has gotten a lot healthier from their injuries. They did not have a great start to the year but they have been playing great lately and have won a lot of games in their last 10, winning 8 of them. They have 2 losses in their previous 4 games but they also went on 8 game winning run right before losing 1 of those games. The Rockets have looked a lot better in their games lately too. They have won 7 games in a row but they still have only 8 wins this year so that run is only going to take them so far. The Rockets are also missing some players here due to injury like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. which I think is going to hurt them a lot in this game. I think the Rockets are due for a let down since they are not a good team and have won 7 games in a row and they also just won their most recent game against the Nets in Harden's return to Houston. I think that they put a lot off effort and energy into that game to beat Harden and the Nets and I think this is going to be a let down for them. The Bucks are still trying to climb the standings and take over 1st place so they will be focused on winning this game. I think that the Rockets win streak is going to come to an end here by the Bucks and the Bucks are going to end it in a big way. I like the Bucks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-94 Bucks. |

12-10-21 | Murray State v. Memphis -10.5 | 74-72 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis. I like Memphis to cover the spread against Murray State in this game on Friday. Memphis started their season off great with 5 wins in a row but they have not been playing well lately with 3 losses in a row in their previous 3 games. Their loss to Iowa State was a bad one but, their previous 2 losses were both by 3 and 4 points losing 2 very close games on the road. Now they get to be back on their home court in front of their fans and I think that Murray State is going to struggle here in their 2nd road game of the year. Memphis is still a good team and they were even in the top 25 rankings to start the year, I think that they are going to get back on track here and use this game to get right again and get back in the winning column. Memphis was playing great defense at the start of the year only giving up 70+ points in 1/5 of their wins this year. That defense dropped off lately but showed up again in their most recent loss holding Ole Miss to 67 points still. I think they will get back to playing some good defense in this game and that should help take the stress off their offense and make it easier to score and take the lead sustaining it. Murray State has looked good in their games this year but they have had a much weaker schedule than Memphis and Murray State's 1 loss came against East Tennessee State which is not a respectable loss. I think Memphis is due to bounce back in a big way here. I like Memphis to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 83-63 Memphis. |
