03-23-22 | Blackhawks +120 v. Ducks | 4-2 | Win | 120 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks. I like the Chicago Blackhawks to win this game against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. The Blackhawks haven't looked great in their games lately but I think they can get a bounce back win here. They have lost 3 games in a row but they haven't been getting destroyed in these games and they have even been keeping some of them within 1 goal. They have looked a lot better on home ice and they have even won 2/3 of their previous 3 home games. They just lost a game at home to the Jets but the Jets have been hot lately and the Blackhawks still scored 4 goals in that game. I think they will continue their scoring run here and put a few pucks in the net here. The Ducks haven't looked great lately either and they have been even worse than the Blackhawks have been. The Ducks have lost 7 games in a row and their 2 most recent games have been really bad. They lost both games on home ice by 3 goals and they didn't even score a goal in 1 of those games too. I don't see them playing any better here when the Blackhawks have been staying competitive in their games still while the Ducks have been getting destroyed out there. I think the Ducks are going to continue their slump with another loss here and the Blackhawks should have no issues in this game scoring with how bad the Ducks have looked on defense lately. I expect the Blackhawks to score a bunch on the Ducks here. I like the Blackhawks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Blackhawks. |

03-23-22 | Suns -1 v. Wolves | 125-116 | Win | 100 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns. I like the Phoenix Suns to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Wednesday. The Suns have looked really good in their games lately but this has been a common theme for them all year since they are the 1st place team in the league and they were the 1st team to even clinch a playoff spot a few weeks ago. They have won 5 games in a row now, they just won a very close game in OT in their most recent game but most of their wins during that time have been by 10+ points. The Suns have been grinding out a lot of wins lately and they have been doing it while missing their star player Chris Paul. It is possible he makes a return in this game though after weeks of sitting out due to a finger injury. I think Chris Paul will add a big boost to this rotation and I expect him to contribute on both the defensive and the offensive ends of the court. The Timberwolves have also looked really good as of late and they just won 4 games in a row but their run was ended by a loss in their most recent game. They just lost to the Mavericks by 2 points and now that they have lost a game, I expect some of their momentum to fade and I think the Suns will be too much for them to handle with Chris Paul back in their rotation. The Suns have the best record in the league for a reason and the 2nd place team is nowhere even close being 9 games back from them. I think the Suns are going to keep rolling all the way to the playoffs and start getting hot now so they can make another deep run just like last year. I like the Suns to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 129-123 Suns. |

03-23-22 | Wake Forest v. Texas A&M OVER 146.5 | 52-67 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wake Forest/Texas A&M OVER. I am on the over in the Wake Forest vs Texas A&M game on Wednesday. Wake Forest has looked good in their games lately and they have been involved in a lot of high scoring games. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have been putting up a lot of points in the process. They have put up 70+ points in 5 games in a row but it would be 9 games in a row if it wasn't for 1 game where they put up 69 points. They have still been scoring a lot lately and I think they will do the same here. Wake Forest has to put up a ton of points in their games because they don't really give a very good defensive effort in their games. They have given up 70+ points in 8/9 of their previous 9 games and they haven't even been playing any great teams during that time. Texas A&M has been very hot lately and I don't see them getting shut down by a team that doesn't play hard on the defensive end. Texas A&M has looked really good in their games lately winning 9 in a row and I think they are going to continue playing the way they have lately. Texas A&M was starting to destroy teams near the end of their regular season and they were regularly putting up 70+ points and even 80+ points in their games. Texas A&M has been hot for a while now and they made a very good run in their SEC tournament just falling short in the finals. I think they will be motivated to win this tournament but Wake Forest is a strong team offensively and I expect them to put up points in this game too. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-76 Texas A&M. |

03-22-22 | Vanderbilt v. Xavier OVER 142.5 | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 15 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vanderbilt/Xavier OVER. I am on the over in the Vanderbilt vs Xavier game on Tuesday. Vanderbilt has been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately and they have been putting up a lot of points themselves in those games. They have put up 70+ points in 5 games in a row and a majority of those games had them put up 80+ points. They have also given up 70+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games and the 1 game that they didn't give up 70 points in during that time, they still gave up 68 points in it. I think this is going to be another game where they put up a ton of points and Xavier doesn't really give the best defensive effort in their games either. Their star player, Scotty Pippen Jr., was very hot in their most recent game scoring 30+ points himself and I think he is going to stay hot here trying to push his team to a win. I expect him to have another huge game and if he does then Vanderbilt will be putting up a ton of points here. Xavier has also been involved in a lot of high scoring games too and they have also been putting up a ton of points in their games lately. Xavier has put up 70+ points in 4 games in a row now and I think they will do the same on their home court here. Xavier has had to put up a lot of points in their games all year since their defensive effort hasn't been great in their games. Near the end of the regular season, they were giving up a ton of points in their games and gave up 80+ points in 3/4 games to end the season. They are used to putting up a lot of points in their games to win and they should have an easier time scoring on their home court here. Vanderbilt doesn't give a good defensive effort in their games either so I think both teams will put up a ton of points here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-78 Xavier. |

03-22-22 | Warriors v. Magic +8 | 90-94 | Win | 100 | 13 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Orlando Magic. I like the Orlando Magic to cover the spread against the Golden State Warriors in this game on Tuesday. The magic haven't looked great in their games lately but they have won 3/6 of their previous 6 games which is good for them considering how their year has gone. They have 2 really bad losses during that time but they also have 3 wins and a very close loss to the 76ers by only 2 points in OT. They even won their most recent game against the Thunder on their home court. I think the Magic will continue to play well on their home court here and I expect them to come out with their best effort in this game since they are playing against one of the best teams in the league this year in the Warriors and the warriors are even missing their star player for this game, Steph Curry. I think the absence of Curry is going to hurt them here and while I don't really think the Magic can win this game, I think they can still keep it close on their home court here. The Warriors haven't looked great in the games without Curry and I think they are going to continue to struggle until they can fully adjust to their game without him. They ended up losing the game to the Celtics that Curry went down in by 20+ points and they even lost their next game after that, dropping a game on their own home court to the Spurs who have had a terrible year. I think the Magic are catching the Warriors at a great time here and I think they will keep this game close. I like the Magic to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 112-109 Warriors. |

03-22-22 | Blues v. Capitals -135 | 5-2 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the St Louis Blues on Tuesday. The Capitals have looked really good lately and I think they are going to continue on their hot run here. They just lost in their most recent game by 1 goal to the Stars and that loss ended a 4 game run of wins that they were on. They had been grinding out some OT wins during that time and they finally ended up losing a game but I think they can bounce back here and win over the Blues on their home ice. The Capitals have looked really good in home games this year and they had won 3 games in a row on their home ice before taking that loss in their most recent game. Scoring hasn't been an issue for them either and that loss was also the 1st game that they didn't score 4+ in their previous 5 games. The Blues have not looked good lately and they have been on a huge losing skid. They have lost 3 games in a row now but they also have losses in 7/9 of their previous 9 games. The Blues have given up a lot of goals in their previous 3 losses too and I think that is going to hurt them in this game. The Capitals have been scoring goals in their games with no issues and if the Blues defense continues to play the way they have lately, then the Blues won't be able to slow down the offense of the Capitals here. Ovechkin has been breaking records this year and he has his sights set on goals much higher than what he has already accomplished. I think he is going to lead his team to another win here and his team will continue to surge, taking advantage of a slumping Blues team. I like the Capitals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Capitals. |

03-21-22 | Predators v. Ducks +145 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Anaheim Ducks. I like the Anaheim Ducks to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Monday. The Ducks haven't looked good in their games lately but I think they will get a win here and break out of their funk. They have lost 6 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have been coming close in their previous 4 games, losing 3 of them by 1 goal with 1 going to OT and the other ending in a shootout. They were shut out in their most recent game, losing 3-0 to the Panthers, but the Panthers are 1 of the best teams in the league this year. They also played the Rangers right before that who are also a very good team this year so I think the Ducks have had a rough time lately due to their schedule but I expect them to get a win here against the Predators who aren't as good as the other teams they have seen lately. They also lost to the Predators 4-1 on March 10th and that was 1 of the 1st games in their losing skid so I think they are going to remember that road loss and return the favor here now that they are back on their home ice. The Predators have also looked good lately with wins in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. They have taken down some good teams during that time though and they have been scoring a ton of goals in the process. They have scored 4+ goals in 6 games in a row but scoring that many goals for that many games is only sustainable for so long. I think they will be tired in this game and I expect their scoring to dry up a bit here. I think the Ducks will be able to keep the Predators out of their net in this game and I expect them to get their revenge for that loss less than 2 weeks ago. I like the Ducks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Ducks. |

03-21-22 | Jazz v. Nets -1 | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 15 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Monday. The Nets have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have been starting to surge with Kevin Durant back in their rotation. They have won 5/6 of their previous 6 games and their only loss was by 2 points to the Mavericks during that time. They have actually won a majority of those games by 10+ points too and they have even looked a lot better on their home court without Kyrie Irving in their rotation for those games. I think the Nets are starting to find their groove and I expect them to keep surging until the end of the year since they have fallen off in the standings and are in 8th place at the moment. The Jazz have looked good lately with 3 wins in a row but they haven't had to face a player like Durant in any of those games and I think they will struggle keeping him contained in this game. Bogdanovic is missing from the Jazz rotation and although that isn't a massive blow to them, his replacement didn't make much of an impact in their last game and they will need more offensive contribution from him here, or just contribution in general since he also had just 4 rebounds and no assists. I think they are going to feel the absence of Bogdanovic in this game and I think it will make it that much harder for them to keep up with Durant putting all these points up. I think he is going to put the team on his back here like he has in many games this year and I expect him to carry them to another win as they keep trying to climb the standings as much as they can with few games left in the regular season. I like the Nets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-112 Nets. |

03-21-22 | Lakers +6 v. Cavs | 131-120 | Win | 100 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Monday. The Lakers haven't looked good at all in their games lately, they have won 1/5 of their previous 5 games. They just got their win against the Raptors to break a losing skid they were on but they lost again right after that in their most recent game, losing to the Wizards by 8 points. I think the Lakers are due for a bounce back though and they need to kick it into gear if they are going to keep their playoff spot and even have a chance of making a run once they get there. They have the Spurs hot on their trail just 2 wins behind but I think the Lakers will step up and rise to the occasion here to win or at least make this game close. LeBron has still looked good in their games lately despite losing so many, and I expect him to put up a ton of points in this game against his own city. I think this will somewhat feel like a home game for him and I expect LeBron to have one of his best performances of the year being in Cleveland here. The Cavaliers haven't looked great in their games lately anyway. They have won 2 games in a row but both wins were very close and their most recent game was a home win by 4 points over the Pistons. The Cavaliers have also been missing Jarrett Allen and he is a big presence for them underneath the net. The Cavaliers started to dip a bit when he went out and they have been getting by without him in their rotation but a lot of their wins have come in close games and I think his absence will be a factor in this game. I expect the Lakers to dominate in the paint here and I think they even have a chance to win this game outright. I like the Lakers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-106 Lakers. |

03-20-22 | Texas v. Purdue -3 | 71-81 | Win | 100 | 15 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Texas in this game on Sunday. Purdue has looked a lot better in their games lately and I think they can carry over their momentum into this game and get another big win here. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games with their only loss coming to Iowa in the Big 10 finals. They weren't playing great near the end of their regular season but they have looked better lately winning more games and I think they have been waiting for this all year. They looked really good in their 1st game of the NCAA tournament with a 20+ point win over Yale and I expect them to dominate Texas in the same way here. Purdue has a really good team and I think they will have no troubles pulling away here if Jaden Ivey stays hot in this game like he was in their previous game. I think Purdue has the ability to make a deep run here and I don't think Texas looked that great in their 1st game anyway. Texas managed to get an 8 point win over Virginia Tech in the round of 64 but Virginia Tech was hanging with them in that game for most of it and it wasn't until near the end that Texas started to pull away in that game. Texas even ended their regular season with 3 losses in a row. They looked really good in a lot of their games against weaker teams but they had a common theme of losing whenever they had to face a ranked team in their conference. Purdue is also a ranked team and they were even ranked 1st in the country for a while during the year. I think Purdue has been waiting for this tournament all year and now that they are here I expect them to turn the jets on and make a deep run. I like Purdue to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-66 Purdue. |

03-20-22 | Celtics v. Nuggets +3 | 124-104 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Sunday. The Nuggets have looked really good in their games lately and they have started to surge toward the finish line with a lot more wins as of late. They had won 2 games in a row before losing in their most recent game but they lost to a good team in the Cavaliers and they only lost that game by 3 points after going to OT to settle it. I think the Nuggets are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to do so now that they are back on their home court with their advantage of playing in a very high altitude. A lot of teams have issues when playing in this altitude and I think that could be the advantage the Nuggets need to stop a red hot team like the Celtics. The Celtics have won 2 games in a row but they haven't lost many games lately. They have been destroying the teams in their way and their previous 4 wins have all been by 10+ points but I think this is the game that they get stopped in. This is also the Nuggets' 1st game back from a road trip and they had lost 2 games in a row on their home court before going on their road trip. I think they are due for a bounce back win here but I also think they will be looking to make up those losses on their home floor with a win here and against a really good team. The Celtics have looked really good on defense in their games lately but I think the altitude is going to affect the defensive effort by the Celtics since they will be draining their energy quicker and I don't think they will be able to hold down the Nuggets offense here. I like the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 121-117 Nuggets. |

03-20-22 | Notre Dame v. Texas Tech UNDER 132.5 | 53-59 | Win | 100 | 14 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: ND/Texas Tech UNDER. I am on the under in the Notre Dame vs Texas Tech game on Sunday. Notre Dame has been on a very good run lately since they had to play their way in to this tournament in the first four games and they pulled off the upset over Alabama in the round of 64 too. They have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately too but I think this game will be a lot different. Texas Tech has the best defense that Notre Dame will have seen in their past few games. Texas Tech is also 1 of the better teams in the country, in the top 25 before this tournament started, and I don't think Texas Tech is going to let Notre Dame run away with it like they have in their previous games. Texas Tech looked really good in their round of 64 game, winning by 30+ points over Montana State. Notre Dame has been hot lately so there is no way that Texas Tech is putting up 97 points in this game but they could very well hold Notre Dame below 70 points like they did with Montana State and I think defense is going to play a big role in them winning this game. Texas Tech has held a lot of opposing teams to less than 70 points in their games this year and they have even held a few to less than 60 points. They don't normally put up a lot of points in their games because their defense is what has been winning their games for them. I think Texas Tech is going to be in control of this game and I expect them to dictate the pace of the game with their great defensive effort. I don't see either team putting up a ton of points in this game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 64-54 Texas Tech. |
|||||||
03-20-22 | Iowa State v. Wisconsin -4.5 | 54-49 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wisconsin. I like Wisconsin to cover the spread against Iowa State in this game on Sunday. Wisconsin looked very good for most of the year but they started to slip right near the end of the regular season. They lost some bad games right before the Big 10 tournament and they even got knocked out in 1st round by Michigan State. They looked better in their most recent game though and I think now that they have broken out of their funk with a win, they should be able to build on that momentum and use it in this game to help them have better control in this game. They snuck by Colgate in the round of 64 with a 7 point win but they were tied at half and it wasn't until later in the game that they pulled away. They are catching a break here too since they have an 11 seed as their next obstacle and Iowa State did not put together a great season this year. Iowa State lost 3 games in a row before their win in the round of 64 and they lost some bad games during that time too. They have a 10+ point loss to Oklahoma State and a 30+ point loss to Texas Tech in their only Big 12 tournament game that they played in. They just snuck by LSU in the round of 64 with a 5 point win in a low scoring game and I think Iowa State is lucky to be here at all with how they have looked lately. Iowa State does play good defense in their games but LSU wasn't playing great coming into the tournament and I think it's going to be a lot harder for them to hold down Wisconsin's offense in this game like that. I expect Wisconsin to put up a lot of points here and I don't think Iowa State will be able to keep up with them. Wisconsin also plays good defense themselves and I think they will make it even harder for Iowa State to put up points here when they already don't have a strong offense. I like Wisconsin to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-67 Wisconsin. |

03-20-22 | Islanders -140 v. Flyers | 1-2 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. The Islanders have looked really good in their games lately and I think they can carry over their momentum into this game and get another win with how good they have been looking lately. They have won 2 games in a row but they also have wins in 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They have looked great on defense in those games and they have given up more than 2 goals in a game in 2/6 of those games. They have only given up 3 goals in their 2 most recent games and they have scored double that during that time. They just won their most recent game over the Stars 4-2 on Saturday and they are on a B2B here but I think that could help them stay warmed up and come out better in this game. The Flyers have been terrible all year and they haven't looked any better as of late. They have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have lost some bad games to some bad teams during that time. Their 2 most recent losses were to the Canadiens and the Senators and those are both some of the worst teams in the league this year. The Flyers haven't played since Friday either and with this being an afternoon start for them, they could come out slow and sluggish in this game and I think the Islander would take advantage of that situation and jump out to an early lead. The big problem for the Islanders all year was their defense but now it is looking a lot better and I think the Flyers will have issues trying to score on them. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Islanders. |

03-19-22 | New Mexico State +6.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 48-53 | Win | 100 | 16 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Mexico State. I like New Mexico State to cover the spread against Arkansas in this game on Saturday. New Mexico State has been rolling lately with 4 wins in a row and they started their tournament off on the right foot with a huge upset win over UConn in the 1st round. They were in total control of that game since they had a 10 point lead by halftime and they hung on to it the whole game, going on to win by 7 points. I think New Mexico State has a lot of momentum on their side here and I didn't like how Arkansas looked in their 1st round game either. Arkansas snuck out of their 1st round game with a 4 point win over Vermont who is a really good team but they are still seeded 13th for a reason and I thought Arkansas should have won that game by more. New Mexico State already has 1 upset under their belt and it's not like they are facing a powerhouse team that is top 10 in the country. Arkansas even ended their year off in the regular season with a loss and 2 very close wins by less than 3 points on both occasions. They got destroyed in their SEC tournament, losing to Texas A&M by almost 20 points and Texas A&M didn't even get a bid to this tournament. I think Arkansas is going to struggle to separate themselves from New Mexico State here and I think New Mexico State has the potential to even pull off another upset here. I think New Mexico State will keep this game close so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-68 New Mexico State. |

03-19-22 | St. Peter's v. Murray State -8.5 | 70-60 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Murray State. I like Murray State to cover the spread against Saint Peter's in this game on Saturday. Murray State has had an incredibly good year in their conference play going a perfect 18-0 and they only lost 2 games all year winning 31/33 games played. They had a pretty tough matchup in the 1st round with San Francisco but they managed to get the better of them and win that game in OT. Murray State was winning a lot of their games by 10+ points this year and I think this will be another game that they destroy in. The cinderella story is always a nice one but I think Saint Peter's run is coming to an end here after pulling off the biggest upset this year over the 2nd seeded Kentucky as a 15th seeded team. I think Saint Peter's is going to be due for a let down here after that huge win and I expect Murray State to take advantage. I think Murray State is going to come out with a lot of energy in this game and I expect them to be heavily motivated to win this game. Everyone was expecting their opponent to be Kentucky and the fact that it's not should give a big boost to the Murray State players since they are now facing a 15th seeded team instead of a 2nd seeded team. Saint Peter's played very well in that game but Kentucky also missed a lot of their shots, especially from the free throw line. No matter how good they looked against Kentucky, there is no doubt that Murray State is still a much better team and I think they will be able to do what Kentucky couldn't and bury this team early. Murray State is also a school from Kentucky so I think they will even take extra steps here to ensure they don't end up with the same fate as the other Kentucky team. I expect Murray State to be motivated here and I think Saint Peter's will come out flat after their huge win. I like Murray State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-64 Murray State. |

03-19-22 | Mavs -1.5 v. Hornets | Top | 108-129 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately but they just tripped up in their most recent game with a loss in Philly to the 76ers by 10 points. They had won 3 games in a row before that loss and they even had 8/9 wins in their previous 9 games before that loss too. I think they have been playing at a very high level lately and they have been building up big runs over the last few weeks, trying to get themselves in a better position for the playoffs. This is a team that is destined for the playoffs this year and I expect them to get a bounce back win in this game. The Hornets have not been having a great year and they are barely on the cusp of making the playoffs as they hold down the 10th place spot at the moment. The Hornets have looked better lately with 3 wins in a row but their 3 wins have been against much weaker teams than what the Mavericks have seen lately and before they won 3 games in a row they actually lost 2 games in a row to teams that the Mavericks have just beaten. I'm not saying that the Mavericks are going to win this game because of that, that's not the case, but there is a significant difference in talent between these 2 teams and I expect the Mavericks to get the job done here as long as their star Luka Doncic is on the court, which he will be. Doncic has been getting a lot of offensive help from his teammates lately too and I think this is a better Mavericks team than the one that Doncic was carrying them in every game. They have become a more rounded team now as the season winds down and I expect them to win this game with no issues. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 124-116 Mavericks. |

03-18-22 | Colgate +7.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Colgate. I like Colgate to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Friday. Colgate has looked good lately and I think they can upset Wisconsin here and move on to the next round. They have won 15 games in a row and lately they have been winning by a lot of points in their games. They just won their conference tournament with 3 wins and all of them were by 10+ points and even 20+ points in some games. They have also put up 70+ points in 5 games in a row but this is a common occurrence for them this year. I think they will be able to keep up with Wisconsin in this game and I expect them to take the lead and hang on to it with their offense. Wisconsin may be a 3 seed in this tournament but they haven't looked like one in their games lately and I think Colgate will get the best of them here. Wisconsin has lost 2 games in a row now with 1 being in their 1st game of their conference tournament to Michigan State but their other loss was to Nebraska in their final game of the regular season and Nebraska was the worst team in the Big 10 this year. Even before those 2 losses, their previous 3 games before that were shaky wins by 3 over Purdue, a win by 5 over Rutgers, and a win by 1 point over Minnesota who was also 1 of the worst teams in the conference this year. I think Wisconsin has been slipping near the end of the year here and I don't expect them to go very far in this tournament. Even if they manage to win this game Colgate will cover the spread but I think with how Wisconsin has looked lately, Colgate can upset and win this game. I like Colgate to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-71 Colgate. |

03-18-22 | Wizards v. Knicks -4.5 | 97-100 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Friday. The Knicks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have been starting to win more and play a lot better as of late. They have 4/6 wins in their previous 6 games and they just won in their most recent game against the Trail Blazers by 30 points. They dropped 2 games in a row right before that with losses to the Nets and to the Grizzlies but they had won 3 games in a row before those 2 losses and all 3 of those wins were by 10+ points. They have started to rely more on their blooming star in RJ Barrett and the young players on their team are getting a lot more playing time now since the year is coming to an end. These young players have added a much needed boost of energy to their rotation and I think they can beat up on the struggling Wizards here. The Wizards have lost 5 games in a row now and a majority of them have been by 10+ points. They haven't been able to do much in their games without their star Bradley Beal and I think the Wizards will continue to struggle until their star comes back from injury. Porzingis was supposed to add an element of defense to this team which they were lacking heavily before but he has had to make up the offensive production of Beal in the mean time so he hasn't been able to play on defense as well as he normally would. The Knicks have also stepped up their defensive play in games with all of these young players on the court they actually have the energy to put in that effort and it has been helping them win their games lately. The Knicks have been the much better team lately and I expect them to blow by the Wizards here. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-104 Knicks. |

03-18-22 | Capitals v. Hurricanes -150 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -150 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Friday. The Hurricanes were looking great with 4 wins in a row but they have stumbled a bit in their games lately and have lost 2 in a row now. Both of their losses came in road games, 4-2 to the Penguins and 3-2 to the Leafs, but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. This game is a B2B for them but I think that can help them out here coming off that loss and I expect them to step up their game and play better on home ice this time. They have still scored 2 goals in both games so scoring hasn't been an issue for them and I think they will score even more goals being on home ice for this game. The Capitals have won 3 games in a row and they have looked good in those games but I also think they have been slipping a bit lately. They have been playing in really close games lately with 3/4 of their previous 4 games going into OT, including 2/3 of their previous 3 wins. They have also won 3/4 of their previous 4 games by just 1 goal. Their most recent game was a win over the Blue Jackets but the Capitals are also on a B2B here and I think they might be a bit tired after scoring 7 goals in their previous game. The Hurricanes have better goaltending than the Blue Jackets do and their defense is also a lot better, the Capitals won't score that many on them here and they will actually struggle to score on them at all in this game. I think the Hurricanes have been way better over the course of the year and I expect them to get another win on home ice here. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |

03-18-22 | Miami-FL v. USC -1.5 | 68-66 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: USC. I like USC to cover the spread against Miami-FL in this game on Friday. USC hasn't been winning a lot of games lately with just 1/4 wins in their previous 4 games but they haven't looked bad in those games and their losses were to strong teams that were also seeded high in this tournament. Their 3 most recent losses were to Arizona and to UCLA 2 different times and those are both 2 really good teams. Before that stretch of losses, they had won 6 games in a row, including a win over UCLA during that time, and they looked like they had a good handle on most of their games. I think they can come out and win this game over Miami who had a great start to the year but started to slip later on in the year. Miami hasn't looked great in their games lately and they have been struggling to win in some of their games against weaker teams. They have 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games but their 2 most recent wins were by 2 points over Boston College and by 3 points over Syracuse, neither team made the NCAA tournament either. Even their most recent game was a loss to Duke but Duke went on to lose in their conference finals and Miami has beaten them this year early on so there is no excuses for that loss, especially when they lost by 4 and had a chance to win it still. I think USC is the better team here and I think they have been losing more games lately because they have faced stronger teams. I think they won't have any trouble blowing past Miami here with how they have looked lately. I like USC to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-66 USC. |

03-18-22 | Loyola-Chicago v. Ohio State | 41-54 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Loyola Chicago. I like Loyola to cover the spread against Ohio State in this game on Friday. Loyola has looked great in their games lately, winning 3 games in a row now including their conference tournament which they won most of their games by 10+ points. Loyola looked really good on the defensive end of the court in their conference tournament games. The most they gave up in 1 game was to Drake in the finals when they gave up 58 points but they didn't give up 51+ in either of their other 2 games and that has also been a common theme for them in 5/6 of their previous 6 games. The only time they gave up more than that during that time was in their 1 loss and that was against Northern Iowa in their final game of the regular season, losing the game by 6 points but still putting up 96 themselves. Loyola has looked great on defense and I think that will play a big role in them winning this game but their offense can also get really hot and I think they will get the best of Ohio State here. Ohio State hasn't looked good lately and they were slipping badly to end the year. They crashed and burned out of their 1st game in the conference tournament with a 3 point loss to Penn State and even before that they ended their regular season losing 3/4 games and those losses were to Michigan, Nebraska, and Maryland. None of those teams are really impressive this year and only 1 of those teams from their previous 4 losses even made it to the NCAA tournament here. I think Ohio State has been slipping lately and I don't like how they have looked in their games with all of these bad losses. I think they are going to crash and burn out of this tournament the same way they did in the Big 10 tournament. I like Loyola to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 68-61 Loyola. |

03-17-22 | Texas Southern v. Kansas UNDER 145.5 | 56-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Southern/Kansas UNDER. I am on the under in the Texas Southern vs Kansas game on Thursday. Texas Southern has looked very good on the defensive end of the court in their games lately. They have gone 4 games in a row without giving up 70+ points and I expect them to give a very good defensive effort in this game if they want to have any chance of shutting down Kansas here. Texas Southern has a strong offense when it comes to their conference but they don't play in a very strong conference so I don't think they will put up nearly as many points here as they do in those games. Kansas plays very well on the defensive end themselves and I think they will not give up a lot of points to Texas Southern in this game. Kansas does have a strong offense when they need to put up points but I don't think they will need to put up a ton of points in this game to win and they will probably jump out to a big lead early and cruise their way to a win here. I think Texas Southern will still offer a decent amount of resistance to their offense so I don't see Kansas putting up a ton of points here but I don't see Texas Southern keeping this game close either. I think they are going to get blown out in this game and their offense is probably going to struggle against the defensive effort Kansas puts out in this game. Kansas won't need to put up a lot of points to win here and I don't see Texas Southern getting enough to really challenge this total or Kansas for the win. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-52 Kansas. |

03-17-22 | Vermont v. Arkansas -4.5 | 71-75 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. I like Arkansas to cover the spread against Vermont in this game on Thursday. Arkansas has looked really good in their games lately winning 6/8 of their previous 8 games. Their 2 losses during that time were both against teams that ended up in the SEC finals and their loss to Tennessee, who became the SEC Champions this year, was a very close loss by 4 points where they still looked really good. Arkansas did make it to the elite eight last year where they lost to Baylor who ended up being the champions, so they have shown their ability to make a deep run in the tournament. I think they are going to make a good run this year too since they looked really good for most of the year. They had a very good start to their year and kind of dropped off a bit in the middle but they got really hot again as they ended out the year and I think they can carry over that momentum into this tournament. Vermont has won 8 games in a row, including their conference title game, and they have looked really good blowing out a lot of opposing teams but they also play in a conference that they dominate and has no real competition for them. Vermont didn't even play any good teams in their non conference games at the beginning of the year and I really think Arkansas is the best team they will have faced all year. I expect Arkansas to take a lead early in this game and maintain it for most of the game staying in control. I like Arkansas to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-72 Arkansas. |
|||||||
03-17-22 | Penguins v. Blues +100 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Blues. I like the St. Louis Blues to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. The Blues have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They just broke out of a funk they were in with 2 wins in a row but they lost their most recent game in a close game to the Jets, losing in OT 4-3. I think the Blues are going to bounce back on their home ice here and they have been scoring a ton of goals in their games too which I think will help them get the win here. The Penguins have been very up and down in their games lately, winning 2 in a row then losing 2 in a row and so on over their past few games. They just lost their most recent game after winning 2 games in a row and they struggled to pucks in the net in that game. They looked good when they were at home but they only scored 1 goal in their most recent game, the 1st game of a road trip for them too. They have had some issues scoring in road games lately too, only scoring 3 goals in their 2 most recent road games. The Blues have been hot lately and scoring is one thing that they are doing great at the moment. I think they will be eager to bounce back here on home ice after a close loss in OT that was also on home ice, and I expect the Penguins' scoring issues in road games to creep up once again here. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blues. |

03-17-22 | Indiana +2.5 v. St. Mary's | 53-82 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana. I like Indiana to cover the spread against Saint Mary's in this game on Thursday. Indiana has looked really good in their games lately and I think they can come away with a win in this 1st round with the run they have been on lately. They ended their regular season with 2 close losses by less than 3 points on both occasions and they played against good teams in those games too, Purdue and Rutgers. They looked really good in the Big Ten tournament too and went on a run upsetting 2 teams and almost a 3rd when they blew a late lead to Iowa and lost by 3, Iowa went on to win the Big 10 title. I think they have been building up a lot of momentum in their games lately and I think it will spill over into this game too since they had to even play in the first four games and came out with an 8 point win over Wyoming to earn their bid. Indiana has not only been hot lately but they have stayed warmed up with all of these games they have had to play, their most recent game being on Tuesday. Saint Mary's hasn't played in over a week now and their most recent game was a loss to Gonzaga, who they had just beaten in their final game of the regular season, and they lost to Gonzaga in the WCC finals by 10+ points. I think the long layoff is going to play against them in this game against a hot Indiana team and I expect Indiana to upset them in this game and make it to the next round. Saint Mary's hasn't performed well in neutral venue games this year and they haven't played well in tournament games over the past few years either. Indiana has a very good history this year and over the past few years in tournament games on at neutral venues though. I think Indiana has a major advantage in this game with all of the different factors coming together. I expect Indiana to win this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 71-67 Indiana. |

03-17-22 | Pistons v. Magic OVER 218.5 | 134-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pistons/Magic OVER. I am on the over in the Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic game on Thursday. Neither of these teams play good defense in their games this year and these are also 2 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Pistons just played in a game where they did not put up 100+ points in the game but this hasn't been common for them lately since they have put up 100+ points in 11 games in a row before that most recent game. They have been terrible on defense in their games too, giving up 100+ points in 28 games in a row and a majority of those games they have been giving up 110+ points in. I think there is going to be a lot of points here due to the lack of defense from both teams and I expect the Magic to control the game more on their home court here. The Magic have been in a ton of high scoring games lately and they have put up 100+ points themselves in 4 games in a row. They just gave up 150 points to the Nets in their most recent game too and their previous 3 games they have given up 110+ points in all 3. I think this is a game where both teams think they can win here so both are going to keep shooting and putting up points trying to take the lead from the other. The defensive effort is minimal from both teams and I don't expect them to start playing defense well in this game. I think both teams are going to put up a ton of points on each other as both desperately search for as many wins as they can get before the year ends. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-112 Magic. |

03-16-22 | Lightning -1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning puckline against the Seattle Kraken in this game on Wednesday. The Lightning have not looked good in their games lately losing 3 games in a row but they just won their most recent game 2-1 over the Canucks and I think they can get back on a run here now that they have broken out of their funk. The Lightning are still 3rd place in the East and continue to be 1 of the best teams in the league. Their team is filled with skilled players and I think it is only a matter of time until they start winning games in bunches again. The Kraken have been terrible all year too and this is the perfect team for the Lightning to feed on and build up some more momentum as they try to put together a run again. The Kraken have been the worst team in the West all year and they are still holding up their last place spot. They just won their most recent game over the Canadiens but they had to go to a shootout just to win the game and they even had a 3-1 lead going into the 3rd period where they gave up 2 goals and let the Canadiens, who are the worst team in the league and the only team that hasn't reached 40 points yet, back in the game. The Kraken had actually lost 4 games in a row right before that win and they had only won 1/12 games before their win in Montreal. I think the Lightning are going to get back on track here with a win and I expect them to blow the Kraken out too. I like the Lightning on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-0 Lightning. |

03-16-22 | Bucks v. Kings UNDER 240.5 | 135-126 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Kings UNDER. I am on the under in the Milwaukee Bucks vs Sacramento Kings game on Wednesday. The Bucks have looked really good in their games lately and they have been putting up a ton of points as they are surging at the right time but in their most recent games they have not been scoring as much and I think that will continue into this game too. The Bucks have been putting up a ton of points in games, they have put up 120+ points in a lot of their games lately. Their 2 most recent games they haven't put up that many points though and they didn't even get to 110+ points in 1 of those games. The Bucks have also had a really tough schedule as of late and they have seen a lot of strong teams in the top 5 of each conference over their previous 7 games. I think they are catching a break with the Kings in this game and I expect them to blow them out here. I don't think the Bucks are going to need to put up a ton of points in this game to win it and I think the Kings are going to struggle anyway to put up points on the Bucks here. The Kings have looked terrible in their games lately but when it comes to scoring points, they are a very up and down team that puts up 120+ points on some nights and then barely reaches 100 on other nights. They just played a game where they actually looked good though, winning over the Bulls in their most recent game putting up 112 points while only allowing the Bulls to put up 103. This has happened in a few of their games as of late and most of their games over their previous 7 have even been staying under 230 points. I don't think the Kings are going to offer a lot of resistance here but I don't expect them to drive up this score either and keep up with the Bucks. I think the Bucks will pull away by a lot in this game and then take their foot off the gas with their huge lead since they won't need a ton of points to win this game against the Kings. This total is especially high and even if the game isn't that low scoring, I still expect it to stay under this monster total. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-101 Bucks. |

03-16-22 | Notre Dame v. Rutgers +1.5 | Top | 89-87 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers. I like Rutgers to cover the spread against Notre Dame in this game on Wednesday. Rutgers has been really hot toward the end of the year and I think they can win this game with how good they have looked lately. They had a very early exit in their conference tournament, losing in their 1st game but they did lose to Iowa who went on to win the whole thing. They finished their regular season with 2 wins in a row but they also had a very impressive resume to get to this game with wins over teams like Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, and they even beat Wisconsin in a road game. Those 4 wins marked the 1st time in NCAA history that an unranked team beat 4 ranked teams in a row and I think Rutgers still has a lot to prove in this tournament. Rutgers also plays a very good game on the defensive end of the court and I think their defensive play will be a key part in them winning this game. Before their loss to Iowa, they had not given up 70+ points in 3 games in a row and I think they are going to shut down Notre Dame in this game too. Notre Dame also exited their 1st game of the ACC tournament with a loss to Virginia Tech who also went on to win the whole thing but they gave up 87 points in that game and that has been a common theme for them this year since they have been giving up 70+ points in a majority of their games this year. Notre Dame has looked good in their games but they haven't really had a tougher schedule lately and I think Rutgers had to go through a lot of better teams in their conference to get here than Notre Dame did with a lot more bad teams in their larger conference. I think Rutgers has been very hot and I expect their coach to have them ready for this game since he has been turning this program around all year. Notre Dame likes to put up a lot of points in their games but I don't think they will be able to do so here with that great defensive play from Rutgers. I like Rutgers to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 74-66 Rutgers. |

03-16-22 | Nuggets -5.5 v. Wizards | 127-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Wednesday. The Nuggets have looked really good lately and they have been getting really hot as we approach the playoffs. They just went through a mini 2 game slump but they have bounced back with a win against the 76ers in a road game and I think they can beat up on the Wizards in this game. They had won 4 games in a row before going into their mini 2 game slump and they had some good wins during that time. The Nuggets just stunted the new look 76ers with James Harden in the rotation and I think they should be able to carry over some momentum from that game into this game. The Wizards have been terrible lately and they are on the outside looking in at the moment. The Wizards have lost 4 games in a row and even their recently acquired Porzingis isn't enough to keep this team afloat. He was brought in to help the Wizards with their defense which they desperately need help with but he has had to focus more on offense and putting up points in their games in the absence of Bradley Beal. I think the Wizards are going to continue on their losing skid without Beal in their rotation since he is really the heart of this team. The Wizards have lost 4 games in a row but their 3 most recent games were all lost by 10+ points and I don't think being on their home court here is going to help them much against a team like the Nuggets who are starting to surge at the right time. The Wizards are clearly going to miss the playoffs at this rate and I expect the Nuggets to bury them even further with another win in this game. I like the Nuggets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 120-107 Nuggets. |

03-16-22 | Dayton +1.5 v. Toledo | 74-55 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dayton. I like Dayton to cover the spread against Toledo in this game on Wednesday. Dayton was not able to win their conference tournament and get a bid to the tournament, losing to Richmond who went on to win the whole thing, but I still think they have looked good in their games lately and I expect them to make a deep run here in the NIT. They have not been winning their games impressively but they are finding ways to win close games at the moment and they have taken down some good teams as of late. I think they can win this game on the defensive end of the court and I expect to see a good defensive effort from them here. They have looked really good with their defensive play in their games this year and they have been able to hold a lot of opposing teams to less than 70 points in their games. I think that is going to play a big role in them winning this game and I think they can shut down the offense of Toledo here. Toledo had a great year finishing in 1st place of their conference but it means nothing since they looked terrible in their conference tournament and lost in their 2nd game, having to settle for the NIT instead. They only squeaked by the 1st round with a 1 point win over Central Michigan who were terrible during the year at 6-12 in their conference play. They ended up getting taken out in the very next round with Akron beating them by 8 points. Toledo did win a lot of their games by 10+ points during the regular season but this is tournament which is a whole new animal, and Dayton plays in a much tougher conference with stronger teams than Toledo does. Dayton was 1 of the best teams in their conference all year and I think they can win this game over Toledo. Toledo wasn't met with much resistance during their regular season games but I think they are going to run into a wall that is Dayton's defense and I expect Toledo to struggle more than they have in a while in this game. I like Dayton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-67 Dayton. |

03-16-22 | Mississippi State v. Virginia UNDER 123.5 | 57-60 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mississippi State/Virginia UNDER. I am on the under in the Mississippi State vs Virginia game on Wednesday. Mississippi State has not been putting up a ton of points in their games lately and that has been a common theme for them all year. They have put up 70+ points 1 time in their previous 4 games and their 2 most recent games they put up less than 65 points. They have been a low scoring team all year but they have also looked good with their defensive play. They haven given up 70+ points just 1 time in their previous 3 games and this has also been a common theme for them since their defensive play has been good all year. Virginia also hasn't put up a lot of points in their games and they also play a very defensive style in their games. They don't put up a lot of points in their games and they have been putting up even less than Mississippi State has been all year. Virginia has only put up 65+ points in 1/4 of their previous 4 games and their 2 most recent games were really bad for them offensively since they didn't put up 52+ points in either game, still finding a way to win 1 of those games with only 51 points though. Neither team has been good with their shooting lately and they both tend to miss a lot of 3's. I think with all the missed shots and the great effort on defense from both teams, there is not going to be a lot of points in this game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 59-56 Virginia. |

03-15-22 | Santa Clara v. Washington State OVER 149.5 | 50-63 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Santa Clara/Washington State OVER. I am on the over in the Santa Clara vs Washington State game on Tuesday. Santa Clara has been involved in a lot of high scoring games recently and they have been putting up a ton of points themselves in their games lately. They just put up 72 points in their most recent game against St. Mary's but they had put up 89+ points in 3 games in a row before that and this has been a common theme for them all year since a lot of their games have seen them put up 70+ and 80+ points. They do not play a lot of defense in their games though since they have given up 70+ points in 7/8 of their previous 8 games and I don't expect them to start playing defense in their games now. Washington State didn't put up a lot of points in the Pac-12 tournament, putting up 65 and 66 points in those games, but they ended their regular season with 5 games in a row where they put up 70+ points and they even put up 90+ points in 2 of those games. They even won quite a few games to end their year but their wins are usually close and they don't really play good on defense in their games either since the opposing team usually keeps up with them until the end for scoring. I expect both of these teams to hang around with each other the entire game and I don't see either team taking a big lead here. I think both are just going to keep putting up points trying to outscore the other so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-81 Washington State. |

03-15-22 | Ducks v. Rangers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers -1.5. I like the New York Rangers puckline against the Anaheim Ducks in this game on Tuesday. The Rangers haven't looked their best lately with B2B losses by 3+ goals but they just bounced back in their most recent game with a road win over the Stars 7-4 and that is huge for them since the Stars are good at home and they should have a bit of momentum for this game now. The Rangers have been having a great year and have been 1 of the best teams in the league all year. They just went through their own 2 game mini slump but good teams like this don't go into long slumps in the NHL so now that they have another win under their belt, I expect them to start going on another run again and start racking up some more points. They are getting some low hanging fruit here since the Ducks have been terrible lately and I think the Rangers can just blow by them here. The Ducks have lost 4 games in a row now, their 2 most recent games were a lot closer but their 2 losses before that were both bad, losing by 3+ goals in both games and they gave up 12 goals between those 2 games. They have only given up 6 goals between their 2 most recent games but that is still not good against a team like the Rangers who can score a lot of goals in their games and will make the Ducks pay for any dumb mistakes they make on defense. This is a common theme for them since the Ducks have been giving up a lot of goals this year and that is due in part to not having a good goaltender. I think the Rangers are going to clean up on their home ice here and I expect them to win this game by 2+ goals. I like the Rangers on the puckline here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rangers. |

03-15-22 | Princeton +7 v. VCU | 79-90 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Princeton. I like Princeton to cover the spread against VCU in this game on Tuesday. Princeton had a great year finishing in 1st place in their conference but they missed out on a bid to the NCAA tournament when they lost their most recent game in the finals of their conference tournament, losing by 2 points to Yale and sending them there instead. Before that loss, Princeton had won 8 games in a row and a lot of their games were won by 10+ points too. They have looked really good for most of the year and I think they even have a chance to win this game but I definitely think they can cover the spread here at least. VCU also missed out with an exit in their 1st game of their conference tournament. They lost by 10+ points to Richmond who ended up winning the whole thing but VCU has also lost 2 games in a row now and I think they will come out slower in this game since they have been on a much longer layoff than Princeton has been. VCU hasn't played since Friday and I think that can benfit Princeton here since their most recent game was on Sunday and I expect them to get into a groove quicker in this game. Also, VCU doesn't play in the strongest conference and I think Princeton is a lot better some of those teams, I expect them to offer some more resistance to VCU in this game. I think Princeton can keep this game close here. I like Princeton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 66-63 VCU. |

03-14-22 | Blazers +12.5 v. Hawks | 113-122 | Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Atlanta Hawks in this game on Monday. The Trail Blazers haven't looked great lately but they just won their most recent game by 9 points over the Wizards and they weren't even favored in that game. I was on them to win that game outright as a dog and they did, now I like them to cover this huge spread against the Hawks since the Hawks haven't looked that great this year either. The Hawks have won 2 games in a row but they have not been impressive wins at all. They have a 6 point win over the Clippers and a 3 point win over the Pacers, both of those games were on their home court too where they have been a better team this year. The Trail Blazers looked a lot better in their most recent game against the Wizards and I think they can carry over some of that momentum into this game now that they finally got a win to end their losing winning drought. The Hawks have only won 4/7 of their previous 7 games and the 4 games they won were all wins by 6 points or less. I think the Hawks will win this game on their home court here but they haven't looked great lately and they certainly haven't been beating the opposing teams they have faced by 10+ points. I think the Trail Blazers will keep this game a bit close. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 113-106 Hawks. |

03-14-22 | Coyotes v. Senators OVER 6 | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coyotes/Senators OVER. I am on the over in the Arizona Coyotes vs Ottawa Senators game on Monday. The Senators haven't looked bad in their games lately with wins in 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games too. Their 2 most recent games have both seen 7+ goals in them, and the Senators have scored 3+ goals themselves in all of their 3 most recent games. They just gave up 6 goals to the Blackhawks on their home ice and the Blackhawks have really had their own struggles this year. They even gave up 3 goals before that to the Kraken on home ice and the Kraken are one of the worst teams in the league. I think the Senators are going to continue to score a lot of goals in this game since they have been lately and the Coyotes are also 1 of the worst teams in the league with a very bad defense. The Senators actually played the Coyotes in Arizona a week ago and they got dismantled on defense as they lost that game 8-5. I think this is a bit of a revenge spot for them being back on home ice and I expect them to score a lot of goals here to try and get them back for their previous meeting. The Coyotes have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately too. They just had a game where there was 5 goals in it but before that they had played 3 games in a row with 9+ goals in them. They scored 5+ goals in all of those games and they have given up 3+ goals in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. Both of these teams have been scoring goals like no tomorrow lately but neither has a good enough defense to keep the other off the board so I see this being a high scoring game. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Senators. |

03-13-22 | Rockets v. Pelicans -5.5 | 105-130 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Sunday. The Pelicans have not looked good in their games lately losing 4 in a row now but I think this is the game they can bounce back and stop the bleeding in. The Pelicans have been missing 2 of their starters in their games lately and both Ingram and McCollum will still be out for this game but I think they still have a good chance of winning over the Rockets. The Rockets are the worst team in the west at the moment and they are 3 wins behind the next team in front of them. The Pelicans have still been putting up points in their games lately, they have put up 100+ points in all 4 of their losses but were just outscored by teams better than them in 3 of those games. The Rockets play no defense though so the Pelicans should have an easier time scoring in this game and I think they can get the job done here. The Rockets have also been missing their leading scorer as of late and he is supposed to return in this game but he has been out with an illness and even Wood plays in this game he may not be 100% or up to speed in the game as the illness could still be affecting him. The Pelicans will also be motivated to win here since they have been slipping in the standings but are trying to push for a playoff spot. They need to stop the bleeding with a win here and extend their lead over the Trail Blazers and Spurs as they are right on their tail. I think the Pelicans will step up in this game with their injuries and still beat up on a bad Rockets team. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 120-108 Pelicans. |

03-13-22 | Iowa v. Purdue OVER 148.5 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa/Purdue OVER. I am on the over in the Iowa vs Purdue game on Sunday. Iowa has been a very high scoring team all year averaging 80+ points per game this year but they have had a lot of points put up against them too since they have been giving up 70+ points per game. They have won 3 games in a row now in this tourney and they have been really hot in their games, putting up 80+ points in all 3 of them. They have also been giving up 74+ points in all of those games but this has been a common theme for them all year and it goes back during the regular season too. Iowa really fought hard in their most recent game too, there were multiple occasions where they were down big but they kept pushing their offense and Keegan Murray ended up having a huge day. He put up 30+ points himself and his 3-pointers is what was keeping them in that game. Iowa has been shooting great in their games too and I think they are going to keep that up in this game too. Purdue hasn't been putting up as much points as Iowa has been in their games lately but I think Purdue is the better team here and I don't think their defense will be good enough to stop Iowa here. I expect Purdue to match Iowa on offense in this game since Iowa loves to hit the 3's and this could turn into a huge shootout. Despite the fact that Purdue hasn't put up a lot of points in their games lately, they actually average 80+ points per game and are giving up 65+ points per game. Purdue can put up a ton of points when they need to and I think this is going to be 1 of those games where they will have to outscore the opposing team to win. I expect a lot of points in this game, I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 84-80 Purdue. |

03-13-22 | Hurricanes +110 v. Penguins | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. The Hurricanes have looked really good lately and have been starting to roll over teams again winning 4 games in a row now. Their 4 game run here started with a 3-2 win in OT against the Penguins over a week ago but they have been getting a lot hotter as they play their games and their 2 most recent wins were both by 2+ goals. Their goaltending has been outstanding lately too since they have only given up 1 goal in their 2 previous games. The Hurricanes already beat the Penguins at home over a week ago and I think they can do it again in this road game. The Penguins haven't looked that great in their games lately, they have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games. They just won their most recent game against the Knights but just before that they have losses to the Hurricanes and the Panthers, both 2 of the best teams in the league. The Hurricanes are the best in the East at the moment with the most points and I think the Penguins are going to struggle here like they have against some of the better teams in the league. The Hurricanes have already won 4 games in a row and they are a very tough team to stop once they get hot and rolling in their games. I think the Hurricanes are going to continue to roll in this game and beat the Penguins here. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |

03-12-22 | Wizards v. Blazers +6 | Top | 118-127 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Saturday. The Trail Blazers have looked terrible in their games lately, they have been losing a lot of their games and getting absolutely dismantled in all of them. They have lost 6 games in a row now by 10+ points and they didn't even put up 90+ points in their 2 most recent games. They have played their 3 most recent games in road games though and will be back on their home court here. I think they are going to play a lot better being back on their home court since they have a lot of young players and non-starters playing in this game. Their 2 most recent games were really embarrassing so I expect these players to show some pride in this game at least and put up a better performance here on their home floor. They are getting a bit of a break too since Bradley Beal is out and he is the Wizards star player. The Wizards have already looked terrible in the 2nd half of this year but they have looked even worse in their games without Beal. The Wizards have lost 2 games in a row now and they just lost their most recent game by 10+ points to the Lakers, the Lakers have been riddled with a bunch of their own issues this year too. I think the Trail Blazers have to respond better in this game to their previous few losses and I expect them to take advantage of a weaker Wizards team on their home court here. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-106 Trail Blazers. |
|||||||
03-12-22 | Kings -130 v. Sharks | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings. I like the LA Kings to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Kings have looked really good in their games lately, they are the 4th best team in the West at the moment and the Sharks have not had a good year at all. The Kings had won 3 games in a row before losing in their most recent game and that loss came on home ice to the Sharks here. That game was 2 days ago on Thursday and the Kings lost on home ice in OT 4-3 too, so that loss is still freshly imprinted in their minds. I think the Kings are going to be looking for their revenge here and I expect them to get it and bounce back in this game since they are the better team. These teams are rivals and it would make no sense at all if the Sharks were to win B2B against the Kings with the year they have been having. The Kings aren't on their home ice in this game but they are revenging the loss from their home ice and what sweeter way to get revenge than to win in a road game in front of all the Sharks fans. The Sharks have looked terrible in their games lately anyway. The Sharks had lost 3 games in a row before winning against the Kings in their most recent game and they even had to drag them into OT just to get the win. The Kings actually had a lead for most of that game too and they let it go in the 3rd but I think they will make sure not to let that happen again here so I see them playing better on defense in this game. I think this is a huge revenge spot for the Kings and I expect them to bounce back with a win here. I like the Kings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Kings. |

03-12-22 | UCLA v. Arizona -1 | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona. I like Arizona to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Saturday. Arizona has looked really good in their games lately and they have been on a huge run in their games as of late. They have won 5 games in a row but they have been destroying the opposing teams in their games. All but 1 of their previous 5 wins have been by 10+ points and they just won by 10 over Colorado too who had been playing great up to that game. Arizona is ranked the 2nd best team in the country and they only have 3 losses all year. They have won 5 games in a row, most by 10+ points, and they have put up 80+ points in all of their games too. That is a normal occurrence for them since their offense is very strong and I expect them to put up a ton of points in this game too and just outscore UCLA like they do with most teams. Despite scoring so many points in their games, they actually don't give up nearly as many points either as they have only given up 75+ points lately. UCLA has also looked good winning 4 games in a row now but they haven't been putting up as many points as Arizona has been and I think Arizona can outscore them in this game. Arizona has been 1 of the best teams in the country all year but they barely get any recognition and no one seems to talk about them as much as some of the other teams. Even UCLA gets talked about more and they have had their ups and downs this year while finishing 2nd to Arizona in the Pac-12. I think Arizona is going to be playing this game with a chip on their shoulder and they look to be on a mission at the moment to win the Pac-12 tournament. I like Arizona to cover the spread in this game and win it all. T.M. Prediction: 85-78 Arizona. |

03-12-22 | Indiana v. Iowa OVER 144 | 77-80 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana/Iowa OVER. I am on the over in the Indiana vs Iowa game on Saturday. Indiana has looked really good in their games lately and they have been playing a lot better over the last while. They lost 2 games to end the regular season but those 2 losses were in very close games and they didn't lose to bad teams in those games either. They have started off this tournament with a bang though, winning 2 games in a row now and they have looked good in those games too. They have been playing with house money having not been a favorite in any of their games but they have put up 65+ points in both games and I think they can put up even more here. Iowa has been putting up a lot of points in their games and I think Indiana will need to match their offense if they want to have a chance at winning here. Indiana has done a good job hanging in their games lately though and I expect them to keep this game close enough to have a chance in it. Iowa has looked even better in their games though and lately they have been on a huge run. They have won 2 games in a row now and have put up 84+ points in both games of this tournament. They have put up 70+ points in 14 games in a row now and they have even put up 80+ points in a majority of those games. Iowa already cracked 100 points in their first game of this tournament and I have no doubt that they will keep up their heavy offense here since they have been shooting great in their games. I expect to see a lot of points put up from both teams here but mainly Iowa. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 88-78 Iowa. |

03-11-22 | Colorado v. Arizona OVER 148 | 72-82 | Win | 100 | 16 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado/Arizona OVER. I am on the over in the Colorado vs Arizona game on Friday. Colorado has looked really good in their games lately winning 3 in a row now and all 3 of their wins have been by 10+ points. They have actually won 8/9 of their previous 9 games and a good majority of those wins were by 10+ points too. I think Colorado is going to continue their hot streak here and they just won their 1st game of this tournament over Oregon and they won that game by 10+ points. I think they can carry over that momentum here and put up a ton of points in this game. They have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately with 79+ points in their 3 most recent games. Colorado has won 3 games in a row now but the 1st win that started this run was actually against Arizona and Colorado destroyed them on their home court winning that game 79-63. I think Colorado can put up a lot of points on them again but I also expect Arizona to put up a lot of points too and play much better in this game . This game is not on Colorado's home floor so Arizona should have a better game here and they did dominate their conference all year too, winning 18/20 games in conference play. Arizona has been putting up a lot of points in their games lately too. They have put up 80+ points in 4 games in a row and they have done it 8/9 of their previous 9 games with the win game they didn't being their loss to Colorado, the only loss for them during that time too. That loss is still fresh in their minds and they should be coming into this game with a vengeance. Both teams have been very hot and I think this is going to be a game where neither side plays any defense and they just keep shooting trying to outscore the other team. Both teams have been putting up a ton of points lately and I see this game going the same way. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Arizona. |

03-11-22 | Clippers v. Hawks UNDER 229 | 106-112 | Win | 100 | 15 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Hawks UNDER. I am on the under in the LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks game on Friday. The Clippers haven't looked good in their games lately and they haven't been putting up a ton of points in their games lately either. They do have the odd monster game where they score a lot but lately they have been losing games and staying under 100 points in them. They have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games and stayed under 100 points in both of those losses. Their defensive ability has still been good in their games though, whether they are winning or losing. They have not given up 120+ points to any of the opposing teams in their previous 12 games. They have put up a wide range of scored themselves but whether they but up 130+ or fail to reach 100, they keep their opposing team low scoring due to their great play on the defensive end of the court. Not many teams in this league play defense in their games but the Clippers are 1 of those teams and I think they can keep this game under just by slowing down the Hawks' offense a bit. The Hawks haven't looked great themselves this year and they are barely even holding onto a play-in playoff spot at the moment. They haven't been putting up a ton of points in their games lately either and they haven't even scored 120+ points in their 3 most recent games. I still think the Hawks are going to win here and they might even pull away in this game since the Clippers have not been good offensively but I think their defensive effort is the best chance they have to stay in this game and I expect their defense to show up in this game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 112-96 Hawks. |

03-11-22 | Jets v. Islanders -125 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. The Islanders are back on their home ice again for another game on Friday night and this is right after picking up a 6-0 win on home ice the night before over the Blue Jackets. The Islanders looked great in that game and I think they can carry over that momentum on this B2B and play another great game here. That is their 2nd win in their previous 3 games and they have been scoring a ton of goals in their games too. They have scored 10 goals in their 2 most recent games alone and I think it is going to be very tough for the Jets to stop this red hot offense at the moment. They have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but even in the game they lost 5-4, they were tied 1-1 up until the 3rd and then they still made a comeback after going down 5-1 in the 1st 10 mins of that 3rd period. I think they have looked great lately and this is not a team to jump in front of and get run over by at the moment. The Jets have won 2 games in a row now but they are a better team on their home ice and they just won a very shaky game in their most recent game. They just scraped by the Devils in their most recent game winning 2-1 in a road game and they even held onto that lead for half of the game. The Jets have not been scoring a lot lately and they will have an even tougher time scoring on the Islanders who have finally found their defense lately. The Islanders have also been scoring a ton and the Jets will not be able to hold them off with how the Islanders have looked lately. The Islanders are going to continue their run here and win this game on home ice. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Islanders. |

03-11-22 | TCU +8 v. Kansas | 62-75 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: TCU. I like TCU to cover the spread against Kansas in this game on Friday. TCU just won their 1st game in this tournament and they did it against Texas after coming back from a 20+ point deficit in that game to win by 5 points. I think they played great in the 2nd half of that game and to make that kind of comeback in that situation really speaks a lot of their character as a team. TCU will alwaysfight back no matter how far they are behind and I think that is an important quality to have as a team since they will never give up on a game. I think they can carry over a lot of momentum from that win and I expect them to hang tight in this game with Kansas the entire time. TCU has already played against Kansas 2 times in their previous 4 games and TCU was able to steal a win against them on their home court and a loss in their road game against them but that loss was only by 4 points. I think TCU will play Kansas tough here like they have in their other 2 games against them this year and I expect them to keep this game close. Kansas also won their 1st game of this tournament yesterday against West Virginia but West Virginia has been underachieving all year so that win is not that impressive. TCU was able to come back in their previous game because of the defensive effort they put in in the 2nd half of that game and I think they will put out the same effort here to try and slow down Kansas' offense. Kansas also plays good defense in some of their games though and there is a good chance that this game stays in the lower scoring range because of the defensive effort from both teams. Either way, I think TCU will come to play hard in this game and I expect them to keep it close. I like TCU to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-67 Kansas. |

03-11-22 | Texas A&M +9.5 v. Auburn | 67-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Auburn in this game on Friday. Texas A&M has looked really good in their games lately as they just keep winning whether the game is close or a blow out. They have won 5 games in a row now and they just kicked Florida out of this tournament with an 83-80 win in their previous game. Texas A&M has been hot in their games lately, they have been winning with good defense when they can but also have won games by putting up a ton of points when the defensive effort wasn't there. I think they can carry over some momentum from their win over Florida and I expect them to put up a good fight in this game. Auburn may have been the best team in their conference this year finishing in 1st place but they faltered down the stretch a bit and struggled in some of their games that they didn't play on their home court. They lost 3/4 of their final 4 road games in the regular season and although this isn't a road game, it is still not being played on home court and I think they won't play their best in this game. Texas A&M also had to play in the previous round so they are warmed up and ready to go for this game while Auburn hasn't played in a week and could come out a bit slower and sluggish in this game. I think Auburn will need some time to get back up to speed with this being their first game in tournament play for months and I think that will be enough for Texas A&M to gain some traction and stick around in this game. Auburn is also one of the top teams in the country so they don't even need to win this tournament to go to the NCAA tournament but Texas A&M does and they will play with some desperation in this game as it is do or die for them. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 78-72 Auburn. |

03-10-22 | Cal-Riverside v. Hawaii UNDER 126.5 | 67-68 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UC Riverside/Hawaii UNDER. I am on the under in the UC Riverside vs Hawaii game on Thursday. UC Riverside hasn't been involved in a lot of low scoring games lately but they have been in some very close losses. Their 2 most recent games are both games where they lost by less than 3 points and both teams put up 70+ points in both games but neither team got over 75 points in those games either. I think this is going to be a close game just like those but I expect it to be a lower scoring game since Hawaii plays great on the defensive end and I think they are the better team here. I expect Hawaii to dictate the pace of this game with their defensive play and I don't see either of these putting up more than 65 points in this game. Hawaii has looked really good lately with 3 wins in their previous 4 games and they have only put up 65+ points in 1 of those games too. They are a very low scoring team and have been in most of their games this year but it is their defensive ability that is winning them games. They have given up 68+ points in 1/7 of their previous 7 games and they have even been keeping the opposing teams under 60 points in a lot of these games. The 1 time that they faced each other this year was also a low scoring game, UC Riverside won on their home court 64-59 but even in a loss they kept UC Riverside from scoring a lot of points in that game. I expect this game to be similar to that game but I think Hawaii will play better here since UC Riverside is on their home court this time. I think Hawaii will turn it up a notch on defense now that this is tournament play and I expect to see a great performance form them on the defensive end. I think they will control the pace here and keep this game low scoring. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 62-57 Hawaii. |

03-10-22 | Warriors -3 v. Nuggets | 113-102 | Win | 100 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in this game on Thursday. The Warriors haven't looked good lately but they finally stopped the bleeding in their most recent game winning against the Clippers by 10+ points. After losing 5 games in a row they have finally figured out a way to cover the defensive hole that Draymond Green is leaving in their rotation at the moment. I think now that they have the taste of winning again, the Warriors will continue to surge in these next few games and I think they have some extra motivation for this game too. The Warriors just lost to the Nuggets 3 days ago and I think they will be looking to get their revenge here. The Warriors have actually lost all 3 games they have played against the Nuggets this year and 2 of those losses were even on their own home court, losing by 1 point and by 3 points in those 2 games. They lost by 6 points in their road game just a few days ago but I think that loss is still fresh in their minds and I expect them to finally get a win against the Nuggets this year. The warriors even lost that game by 6 a few days ago and they really had none of their stars playing since Green, Thompson, and Curry all sat out of that game. Green is still missing here but both Curry and Thompson are back and I think they should be enough to turn the tables in favor of the Warriors here. The Nuggets have been very hot lately winning 4 games in a row but they have been slowing down in their 2 most recent games since they went from a 10+ win to 3 wins of 8 points or less including 2 wins by 6 points and an 8 point win that went to OT. The Nuggets could barely handle the Warriors in their previous meeting and that was with a weakened rotation too. I expect this to be a completely different game with Curry and Thompson back in the rotation against the Nuggets here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 118-110 Warriors. |

03-10-22 | Avalanche v. Hurricanes +103 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 103 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue surging in this game too. They have won 7/9 of their previous 9 games and they have been finding ways to grind out all the close games too. A lot of their wins have been closer games, including their 2 most recent games where they won both by a score of 3-2. They are on their home ice here though and they have looked even better in those games and have won 5 home games in a row now. I expect them to make it 6 in a row here, especially when the Avalanche haven't looked good on defense lately and have been collapsing in their games. The Avalanche have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games but they haven't looked good in any of these games. They have a loss to the Coyotes which is a very bad look for them and they even lost a close OT game on their home ice to the Flames. They bounced back with a 5-4 win over the Islanders in their next game but that game exposed a lot of their flaws on defense. That was a 1-1 game going into the 3rd period and then it was 5-1 before the halfway point of that period. The game ended 5-4 which means the Avalanche let the Islanders score 3 goals in the last 10 mins of that game to almost catch up and tie it. That was not the only game this has been a problem in though. Right after the game where they almost blew that 5-1 lead, they played their most recent game and they took an early 3-0 lead over the Devils in that game. Once again, the Avalanche blew that lead and ended up losing the game 5-3 this time. These previous games have exposed the holes in their defense and they are going to be in trouble if they don't fix this problem. The Hurricanes have a very good offense and they are going to score goals on their home ice in this game, especially with the way that defense has looked. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |

03-10-22 | Montana v. Weber State -3.5 | 56-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Weber State. I like Weber State to cover the spread against Montana in this game on Thursday. Weber State hasn't looked great in their games lately but I think now that they are in tournament play they will step up and play better here. They ended their year with 3 losses in their final 4 games but they still kept the losses close in score and I expect them to have a much better game here. Weber State and Montana split their games against each other this year with each team winning their home game. Montana won by 2 points over Weber State while Weber State won by 5 when they played on their home court. The 1 advantage that Weber State has over Montana here is the fact that Weber State looked great in their road games this year while Montana did not. This game is at a neutral venue but that doesn't change the fact that Montana has been terrible this year when they haven't been on their home court. Montana is just 4-10 in their road games while Weber State is 8-5 and it may not seem like a big deal but I think it shows how differently these teams play when they aren't on their home court and I think it shows that Montana will struggle in this game too. Weber State has also played in neutral games this year and they are actually 3-0 in those games so they have plenty of experience in this situation this year and I think it is going to benefit them here. Montana hasn't looked great to end their year either since they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games. Their 2 most recent games were both losses by 9+ points on their home court too so I expect them to play badly in this game where they don't have the comfort of being the home team and they have looked really bad lately too. I like Weber State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-75 Weber State. |

03-10-22 | Syracuse +14.5 v. Duke | 79-88 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse. I like Syracuse to cover the spread against Duke in this game on Thursday. Syracuse looked really good in their most recent game where they kicked out Florida State in the 1st round of this tournament. Syracuse ended their year off with 4 losses in a row but they quickly regrouped for the ACC tournament since they came out last night and won by 39 points over Florida State. Not only did they put up a ton of points in that game scoring 96, but they played great defense too and only gave up 57 points to Florida State. Syracuse has already been scarred twice by Duke this year, losing both of their games to them by 20+ points. I think Syracuse will play better here since this is tournament play now and it really is their last shot at going to the NCAA tournament. I expect them to have a lot of momentum after that huge win over Florida State and I think they can carry that over into this game and at least put up a good fight against Duke. Duke ended the year as the 1st place team in their conference but they did not look good in their most recent game, losing on their own home court in the final home game of Mike Krzyzewski's coaching career, and losing that game by 10+ points to their rival UNC too. That is a terrible loss for them to take and I do think they will bounce back here but I still expect their spirits to be lowered a bit and I think Syracuse can take advantage of a slow start from Duke with all of the emotions running through their team still. I think Syracuse will be out for revenge here and even if there is a good chance they don't get it here, I still think they will keep this game a lot closer than their other 2 against Duke this year. I like Syracuse to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 86-78 Duke. |

03-09-22 | Canadiens v. Canucks -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 125 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks -1.5. I like the Vancouver Canucks puckline in this game against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. The Canucks have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now and they have 5/6 wins in their previous 6 games. They even won 4 of those games by 2+ goals and their defense has looked great in most of those games too. They have slipped up on defense in their 3 most recent games but they just returned from a road trip and I think they will give a much better effort on defense in this game now that they are back on home ice. The Canadiens have also looked good in their games lately winning 2 in a row but they have been very up and down still and I think the Canucks are the better team here. This is the last game of a road trip for the Canadiens and they might be looking toward the finish line here just waiting to get back home. I don't think the Canadiens will come out with a lot of energy here and I'm expecting a much better effort on both offense and defense from the Canucks in this game. They will look to tighten up their defense from those previous 3 games and I think they can keep the Canadiens out of the net in this game. The Canucks also have a very good goaltender and I think he will play a big role in their win here. The Canadiens have looked a lot better lately but they are still 1 of the worst teams in the league and they have some major issues at goalie. I think the Canucks can blow them out here. I like the Canucks on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Canucks. |
|||||||
03-09-22 | Bulls -6 v. Pistons | 114-108 | Push | 0 | 14 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bulls. I like the Chicago Bulls to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Wednesday. The Bulls have lost 5 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. They have lost some close games to some very good teams during that time and I think they should be able to get a nice win over the Pistons here and bounce back. Even though the Bulls have been in a funk lately they haven't looked bad in their games and I think this is the time for them to get a win and break their losing skid. The Pistons have been 1 of the worst teams in the league all year and I think the Bulls can beat up on them here. The Pistons have looked really good lately winning 3 games in a row but I think their luck has run out in this game and I expect them to revert back to the old Pistons team that we have seen all year from them. Even though they have been winning some games lately, a lot of their wins have been in very close games and they haven't really had a very tough schedule either. I expect the Bulls to play with some urgency here too since they have been slipping down the standings lately and I think this is the game they can stop the bleeding in. I like the Bulls to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 120-108 Bulls. |

03-09-22 | DePaul +5 v. St. John's | 73-92 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: DePaul. I like DePaul to cover the spread against St. John's in this game on Wednesday. DePaul has looked really good in their games lately. They just lost their most recent game to UConn who is a ranked team but they won 3 games in a row before that and I think they can carry over some of their momentum into this game. DePaul still played well in their most recent game when they lost to UConn but they definitely finished the year on a high note with how they have looked in their games. They can still make a run in this tournament and in this conference with so many games being so close, I think they are going to have some momentum on their side here and I expect them to come out with a lot of energy here. They even beat St. John's not too long ago and I think they can get another win over them here. DePaul has even been putting up a ton of points in their games lately with 2/3 of their previous 3 games having them put up 90+ points in them. St. John's hasn't looked good in their games lately and they ended their year with 3/4 losses in their previous 4 games. They lost some close games during that time but St. John's has been very up and down all year and I think they just don't have the team to beat DePaul in this game on this stage. DePaul has been the better team down the stretch and the momentum is with them for this game with how good they have looked in their games lately. I think DePaul can win this game here and pull off the upset in this game over St. John's. I like DePaul to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 80-76 DePaul. |

03-09-22 | Ole Miss -3 v. Missouri | 60-72 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Missouri in this game on Wednesday. Ole Miss has lost 4 games in a row now and they haven't really looked good in their games lately. They have lost some close games as of late but they have also lost a lot of games by 10+ points. They have had a tougher schedule lately though and 2/4 of their previous 4 games have been against a top 5 team in the country. I think Ole Miss will have a much easier time with Missouri here and I expect them to get up for this game too. Not only is this their last chance to get in the NCAA tournament but they lost both games played against Missouri this year and I think they will be looking for their revenge in this game. Missouri just won their most recent game over Georgia by 10 points but they ended their year losing 6/7 games to finish. They did have some close games during that time but a lot of their losses have been by 10+ points and I think they are going to have another bad game here. Missouri doesn't put up a lot of points in their games either. They have put up 69+ points in their 2 most recent games but they have had 5 games in a row before that where they didn't even put up 65+ points in their games. Ole Miss has been losing a lot of games just like Missouri but Ole Miss has looked more competitive in their games and they have been putting up more points on average too. I think Ole Miss is going to finally get their revenge on Missouri here and win this game. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-65 Ole Miss. |

03-09-22 | Syracuse v. Florida State OVER 145.5 | 96-57 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse/Florida State OVER. I am on the over in the Syracuse vs Florida State game on Wednesday. Syracuse has been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately. Syracuse has been putting up a lot of points in their games as of late, they have put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row and they have also done it 5/6 of their previous 6 games with the 1 game that they didn't being a game where they scored 69 points. Despite scoring all these points lately, they have still been losing a lot of their games and it's because they don't really play well on defense and they have been giving up a ton of points in their games. They have given up 70+ points in 5 games in a row and in 2/3 of their previous 3 games they have even given up 88+ points. Syracuse hasn't really been playing defense in any of their games lately and I don't see any reason why that would change now. Florida State hasn't been in a ton of high scoring games lately but they have put up 74+ points in their 2 most recent games and they just scored 89 points in their most recent game. I think Florida State will have no issues putting up points in this game and I expect them to keep scoring more and more in this game since they will not be met with a lot of resistance. This is also the last chance for Syracuse to make it into the NCAA tournament so I don't expect them to just lay down and die in this game. I think Syracuse will fight hard until the end in this game and I expect them to put up a lot of points here to keep up with Florida State. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Florida State. |

03-08-22 | Pelicans v. Grizzlies -5.5 | 111-132 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies. I like the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Tuesday. The Grizzlies have not looked their best in their games lately. They have been beating up on a lot of bad teams lately but they have been struggling against the better ones. They have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games with losses to a red hot Celtics team and a very bad loss to the Rockets in their most recent game. They lost in a road game to the Rockets by 10+ points and that loss is very embarrassing since the Rockets are the worst team in the West at the moment. They have been struggling to even win a game over their previous 10 and the Grizzlies drop this game to them. I think the Grizzlies will be upset over that loss and I expect them to respond with a way better performance in this home game. Their team is very healthy at the moment and there is no reason why they shouldn't win this game since Ja Morant is turning into a real superstar in this league and leading his team to greatness in their games. He has cooled off a bit lately but I think he will have a huge game here as they look to bounce back and start getting ready for the playoffs by making a big run in the final stretch of the season here. The Pelicans have also looked great in their games lately as they won 4 games in a row and they have looked like a different team since acquiring some players via trade. They did lose their most recent game by 8 points to the Nuggets in OT though and I think that game took away a lot of the momentum they had while they were rolling. The Pelicans have been playing at a very high level lately but they still don't have elite players on their team like the Grizzlies do here and the Grizzlies should be able to handle them on their home court here. I think the Pelicans are going to start regressing a bit after that loss and I think the Grizzlies will be looking for that bounce back win here. I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 120-108 Grizzlies. |

03-08-22 | Panthers v. Penguins -110 | 4-3 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. The Penguins have looked good in their games lately and I think they can get a win here on home ice. They just won 3 games in a row where they didn't give up more than 2 goals in any of their games but they just lost in their most recent game. That loss was against the Hurricanes at the end of a road trip for the Penguins and they lost the game in OT 3-2. That game was also on Friday so the Penguins have had a lot of time to rest for this game and I think after such a close loss in OT to a very good team, they will be looking to bounce back on home ice here with a win. They are catching the Panthers on a B2B here too and the panthers have won 3 games in a row but all of those wins were against some of the bad teams in the league. The Panthers have been cruising in their games too but I think they will be met with a lot more resistance in this game and the Penguins will put up a very good fight on home ice here. I expect the Panthers to be tired from all the travel along with their B2B here and I think they will come out sluggish in this game. I expect the Penguins to take advantage of the situation here and steal a win on home ice from the Panthers. I like the Penguins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Penguins. |

03-08-22 | Jacksonville +3 v. Bellarmine | 72-77 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jacksonville. I like Jacksonville to cover the spread against Bellarmine in this game on Tuesday. Jacksonville has looked really good in their games lately winning 2 in a row and they have also won 7/8 games of their previous 8. They have won a lot of their games lately by impressive margins but this is already their 3rd game in this conference tournament. They have already knocked out the 1st and 3rd seed from the opposite division and I think they are going to do the same here since they have been very hot lately. Bellarmine has also won 2 games in a row, knocking out the 1st and 3rd seed from the opposite division too, but they ended their regular season in a bit of a rough patch losing 2/3 games to end the year. I think Jacksonville was the better team this year and I think they have looked a lot better in their games lately compared to Bellarmine. Bellarmine has been losing a lot more games than Jacksonville has been lately and I think Jacksonville has the momentum with them to win the whole thing. They also give a better defensive effort than Bellarmine does in their games. Bellarmine has been in a lot of higher scoring games where they put up 65+ points a lot but they have also been giving up 70+ points on a lot of occasions. Jacksonville has been very stout and they do not give up nearly as many points in their games, keeping their opposing teams under 65 points in a lot of their games lately. I think this defensive effort by Jacksonville is going to be the key difference in this game and I expect them to come away with the win here. I like Jacksonville to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 64-58 Jacksonville. |

03-08-22 | NC State v. Clemson -5 | 64-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clemson. I like Clemson to cover the spread against NC State in this game on Tuesday. Clemson has looked really good in their games lately and they have been getting very hot to end the year with 4 wins in a row. They even won a few of those games by 10+ points and I think they are going to carry over that momentum into this tournament and make a decent run in it. NC State did not have a good year at all and they were the worst team in conference play this year at 4-16. Clemson was a lot better all year but they have really looked good down the stretch here and I don't think NC State can even put a stop to them in this game. NC State has lost 4 games in a row but the most recent win that they got has been their only win in their previous 11 games. Not only did they look terrible in conference play all year but they could barely even pull together a win in the back half of their season. They even lost by 10+ points in their 3 most recent games and I think they have the same fate awaiting them here. NC State has been putting up a lot of points in their games too but that is mainly because they are giving up way too many points in their games and they aren't going to win games like that if they can never even catch up. They don't play any defense and that is where I think Clemson is going to have the upper hand on them here. Clemson has been in some higher scoring games themselves lately but most of their games have been lower in scoring where they do not allow the opposing team to put up 70+ points in the game. I think Clemson's defensive ability here is going to help them take the lead and maintain it in this game. I like Clemson to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-62 Clemson. |

03-07-22 | Bulls v. 76ers OVER 229 | 106-121 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bulls/76ers OVER. I am on the over in the Chicago Bulls vs Philadelphia 76ers game on Monday. The Bulls haven't looked good in their games lately losing 4 in a row now but they have still been putting up a ton of points in their games lately despite losing a lot. They have put up 110+ points in 6/7 of their previous 7 games and they have been putting up 99+ points for 19 games in a row, only scoring 99 in 1 of those games. Their offense has looked great lately and I think with all of the losses piling up lately, they are going to come out strong in this game to try and break out of their funk so I expect them to put up a lot of points here. They have been putting up a lot of points but they have still lost 4 games in a row which means they have been giving up even more points than they are scoring. They have given up 100+ points for 20 games in a row now and they have even given up 110+ points in 15/20 of those games. Their defensive effort has been terrible lately and the 76ers are a very good team on their home court, especially now that Harden has been rolling for them so the Bulls are going to need to once again abandon their defense here and keep putting up points in this game just to keep up. The 76ers were also involved in a lot of high scoring games lately too, they had 5 games in a row where both teams put up 100+ points before their most recent game where their offense was completely stunted losing by 17 points and only putting up 82 in the game. I think they will be looking to bounce back on their home court and after a very bad offensive game like that, I expect the 76ers to respond by putting up a ton of points here. I think both teams aren't going to play defense that well in this game and I see there being a lot of points put up by both teams. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 126-120 76ers. |

03-07-22 | Kings v. Bruins -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins -1.5. I like the Boston Bruins on the puckline against the LA Kings in this game on Monday. The Bruins have looked good in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now and they have scored 10 goals in those 2 games. They just completed a road trip where they won 5/6 games including a 7-0 win in LA where they absolutely destroyed the Kings. Now the Bruins are on home ice for this game and they are rolling very hot at the moment. I think they can carry over their momentum into this game and keep their run going with another win here over the Kings by 2+ goals. The Kings have looked better in their games lately with 2 wins in a row but they also lost 2 in a row right before those wins and they have been up and down as of late. They are on their own road trip at the moment and they have won 2/3 of their games so far with this game being the last on the trip. They just shut out the Sabres in their most recent game but that is not really an impressive win for them and they are on a B2B here too. I think they are going to be a bit tired from their B2B and I also think with this being the last game of their road trip they might be looking towards home and not give their best effort in this game just trying to finish out the road trip. The Bruins already destroyed the Kings a few days ago and I think they will do it again on home ice here since they are very hot at the moment. I like the Bruins puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Bruins. |

03-07-22 | Furman v. Chattanooga -2 | 63-64 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chattanooga. I like Chattanooga to cover the spread against Furman in this game on Monday. Chattanooga has looked very good in their games lately and they are rolling into this game very hot at the moment. They have won 4 games in a row now and I expect them to extend their run to 5 games here. They finished the regular season with 2 wins and they have won their 1st 2 games of this tournament too. They just won their most recent game over Wofford by 10+ points and they have 2 wins by 10+ points in their previous 4 games. Those 2 wins were against Wofford and Samford which is huge since those 2 teams finished in 3rd and 4th place of this conference. Chattanooga has already taken down 2 of the top 4 teams in the conference in their previous 4 games and I think they can make it 3 here with a win over Furman in this game. Furman has also looked good in their games lately with 3 wins in a row now but a lot of their games have been closer in score as of late. When put up against some of the better teams in this conference, Furman has struggled to win convincingly and in some cases, they have struggled to even win at all. In their previous 5 games, they have also seen 2 of the top 4 teams in this conference in 3 different games but they have not looked that great in those games. They have a loss to Samford by 8 points and then they also have a win over them by 3 in their most recent game and a win over Wofford by 1 point. I think Chattanooga has been the better team here all year, they have been better in conference play and they even completed a season sweep of Furman this year. I think Chattanooga will have no issues with taking Furman down a 3rd time this year in this game. I like Chattanooga to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-67 Chattanooga. |

03-06-22 | Raptors v. Cavs -4 | 96-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Cavaliers. I like the Cleveland Cavaliers to cover the spread against the Toronto Raptors in this game on Sunday. The Cavaliers haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row now. They have been losing a lot of games lately but even in their losses they have been keeping the games close and losing by not a lot of points in some of them. They have lost 3 games in a row now but 2 of those losses were only by 5 points and I think they can bounce back in this game. The Cavaliers are playing on their home court here and they have been a lot better on their home court this year than playing in road games. The Raptors have also not looked good in their games lately but I think they are going to continue on their skid here. They have lost 2 games in a row now but their 2 losses were against the Pistons and the Magic, losing B2B games against teams with only 15 wins this year. They even lost both of those games on their home court too and I think they are going to struggle in this road game with how they have been playing lately. It doesn't help them that they are missing some of their starters and they really look bad without those players like Annunoby and VanVleet who were both absent for those 2 losses. I think that the Raptors are severely weakened without those 2 players in their rotation and the Cavaliers have been getting healthier as of late so I expect to see them turning things around here. I like the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-104 Cavaliers. |

03-06-22 | Rangers v. Jets -110 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Jets. I like the Winnipeg Jets to win this game against the New York Rangers on Sunday. The Jets have looked good in their games lately winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games. Both wins were by 2+ goals but they lost their most recent game on home ice to the Stars. The Stars beat them in OT 4-3 in that game but the Jets were trailing for most of the game despite fight so hard to come back and almost win. They still looked good in that game and I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game after a close loss like that on home ice. The Rangers have looked good in their games lately too winning 2 games in a row now but they have had their own issues in road games this year. They have been playing a lot of home games lately with only 4 road games over the last 6 weeks and I think this is a game they are going to struggle in. The Rangers have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 road games and all of those losses were either by 2+ goals or they were shut out in the game. The Rangers have had issues scoring goals in their road games and this has been a recurring theme for them all year. I think they won't put a lot of pucks in the net in this game and the Jets have been scoring a ton of goals lately. I expect the Jets to outscore the Rangers here on their home ice and take this win. I like the Jets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Jets. |

03-06-22 | Boston University v. Navy -2 | 80-85 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Navy. I like Navy to cover the spread against Boston U in this game on Sunday. Navy didn't look great in their final games as they were finishing off the regular season but they won in the 1st round of this tournament and I think they can do the same here on their home court again. This is another home game for Navy and they have looked really good in their home games lately with 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games. They also completed the season sweep of Boston U this year and I think they are going to pick up another win over them here. Boston U had a very similar end to their regular season as Navy did, losing 2/3 games but winning in the 1st round of this tournament on their home court. This will be a road game for Boston U though, and they have actually lost their 2 most recent road games by 10+ points. Boston U hasn't been terrible on the road this year at 8-7 but they have been a lot better on their home court and I expect them to struggle in this road game. Boston U has also been giving up a lot more points in their games than Navy has been and I think Navy's defensive effort is going to help them win this game. Navy doesn't put up a lot of points in their games but that is because they play well on the defensive end of the court and they keep the opposing teams to very low scores, usually in the 50's or 60's. I think Navy is going to force some turnovers in this game and they should be able to keep a good lead the whole game. I like Navy to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 67-61 Navy. |

03-06-22 | NJIT v. Vermont OVER 130 | 59-98 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: NJIT/Vermont OVER. I am on the over in the NJIT vs Vermont game on Sunday. NJIT hasn't looked good in their games lately with 4 losses in a row to end their year but they have been putting up more points in their games near the end of the regular season there. In their 2 most recent games, they put up 60+ points in both games which isn't a lot but it's a lot for them with the way they have played this year. They don't score a ton of points in their games but they have been scoring more now and their defensive effort has been really bad in their games too. They have given up 80+ points in 3 games in a row and I think they are going to continue to do so in this game since that has been a common theme for them this year. I think they are going to give up a ton of points here but with their offense playing better and this being a tournament game, I expect NJIT to give their best effort here and put up as many points as they can to keep up in this game. Vermont can score a ton of points in their games and both times that NJIT faced Vermont this year, they lost and gave up 80+ points in both games, even giving up 90+ points in the road game. This is a another road game for them too and I expect there to be a lot of points again. Vermont dominated this conference this year winning 17/18 games in conference play. They finished the year winning 5 games in a row and they have been putting up 70+ points in most of their games. They have been putting up a lot more points in their home games though and when they have been on their home court they usually score in the high 70's or 80+ points. I expect this to be another game where they put up a ton of points on NJIT again but I think NJIT will play a bit harder and put up more points to try and keep up. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 80-65 Vermont. |

03-06-22 | UMass Lowell v. Maryland-Baltimore County -2 | 85-93 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UMBC. I like UMBC to cover the spread against UMass Lowell in this game on Sunday. UMBC has looked good in their games lately and they have won 3 games in a row now. They have even won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and 3 of those wins were by 10+ points. I think they are going to continue playing at a high level in this game now that they are in tournament play and they have a bit of an advantage with this being a home game for them. They have won 6 home games in a row and only 1 of those games wasn't won by 10+ points while the other 5 were. They looked good in their home games all year and even though they were no Vermont who finished in 1st place in the conference at 17-1 in conference play, UMBC still dominated the conference coming in 2nd place. UMass Lowell was 3rd from last in their conference and they haven't looked good in many road games this year either. They ended their year on a win but they still lost 4/6 games of their final 6 games and they were even blown out in a few of those games. I think UMBC has been having a better year and they have been hot to end the season as they approach this tournament. I expect them to come out in full force in this game and win it here on their home court. I like UMBC to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-68 UMBC. |

03-05-22 | Warriors v. Lakers UNDER 225 | 116-124 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Lakers UNDER. I am on the under in the Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers game on Saturday. The Warriors haven't looked good in their games lately and they have lost 3 games in a row. They have been losing a lot lately and their issues stretch back even further than their previous 3 games. They have been dealing with a lot of injuries to their key players and Klay Thompson has had some issues with his shooting lately. The absence of Draymond Green has heavily impacted their games too and I think this is going to be a game where others start to step up on defense. They need to stop the bleeding with a win and the only way to do that with how they have been playing is by playing some good defense and forcing turnovers in this game. Luckily, the Lakers have also been dealing with their own injuries and issues, and they will also be shorthanded in this game. The Lakers have lost 4 games in a row now but they haven't put up more than 111 points in their previous 5 games. They are still missing Anthony Davis in this game and I think without him in their rotation, this is a very vulnerable lineup that Russell Westbrook and LeBron James can't carry on their own. The Lakers have been letting the opposing teams they face run away with the games lately and they have been giving up a ton of points too. I think they are looking to stop the bleeding too and I expect both teams to give a better defensive effort in this game, especially the Lakers knowing they are going up against the 2nd place team in the league. I think this is going to be a lower scoring game so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 109-103 Warriors. |

03-05-22 | Mississippi State v. Texas A&M -2 | 64-67 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Mississippi State in this game on Saturday. These 2 teams have had very similar years in conference play with identical records but in general, Texas A&M has been the better team and they have a bit of an advantage being on their home court here. Texas A&M is actually rolling into this game very hot since they have won 3 games in a row and have wins in 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They just won their most recent game over Alabama who is ranked, and they have won all 3 of their games in a row by 10+ points, with 2 of those wins even being in road games. I think they have been building some momentum and I expect them to carry that over into this final home game for them this year. I think they are going to feed off of the crowd in this game and they have been very good on their home court this year at 12-4. Mississippi State has been terrible in their road games, only winning 1/9 road games this year. They have been stumbling in their games lately and have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games. Both of their losses during that time were by 10+ points too. They just got destroyed on their home court by Auburn in their most recent game and I think they are not going to have a lot of energy in this game. I don't trust Mississippi State in their road games, especially with the way they have been playing lately. Texas A&M has been a very reliable team on their home court and they have the momentum in this game since they have been very hot lately. I expect Texas A&M to continue on their run here and win this final home game. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-72 Texas A&M. |

03-05-22 | Texas v. Kansas UNDER 138 | Top | 63-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas/Kansas UNDER. I am on the under in the Texas vs Kansas game on Saturday. I expect this to be a low scoring game since both of these teams play well on the defensive end of the court. Texas has scored a variety of different point ranges in their games this year but on offense they only average less than 70 points per game. They don't need to put up a lot of points in their games though since they give a great defensive effort and they have been giving up less than 60 points per game this year. Lately, they've been letting their games get a bit out of hand but they still have 2 games in their previous 4 where neither team put up 70+ points in the game, and both of those games were their 2 most recent games against another ranked opposing team. They just lost on their home court in their most recent game 68-61 to Baylor, and the other was a loss on their home court to Texas Tech where they lost 61-55. The previous time they met with Kansas, they won on their home court in a higher scoring 79-76 game. I don't think they will put up as many points in this road game though and I expect Kansas to dictate play a bit more in this game. Kansas will be seeking revenge for that loss earlier this year and I think they will play with some extra motivation to win here. I also think that with that extra motivation to play here will come a very good defensive effort on their part and I think they can force some turnovers in this game. Kansas, just like Texas, plays great on the defensive end but they have been giving up more points than Texas while also scoring more points than them. I think Kansas won't be able to put up a ton of points in this game with Texas' defensive effort but I also think Kansas will give their own defensive effort to win this game and I really think Texas will struggle in this road game to put up points since they have not been great in road games this year. I expect this to be a low scoring game, I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 66-60 Kansas. |

03-05-22 | Blackhawks v. Flyers -115 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. The Flyers have been terrible lately, they are in a huge slump and they have not been able to break out of their funk. They have lost 2 games in a row now but they have actually lost 8/9 of their previous 9 games. They have been starting to play better though and I think that this will be the game where they break out of their funk and at least get another win. They have been keeping their games close lately, they do have 1 win in their previous 3 games and their most recent game played was a loss on home ice to the Wild but they came close only losing that game by 1 goal. They even had a lead going into the 3rd period but they let in 2 goals and blew their lead in those final 20 minutes. I think they will be upset over that game and I expect them to to tighten up on defense here to make sure that doesn't happen again. I think they will bounce back with a win here on home ice. The Blackhawks haven't been great this year either, they have been a bit better than the Flyers but not in their road games and they have been very up and down lately. They have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 4 games but they have also lost 4/6 of their previous 6. They were shut out on home ice by the Blues and they responded to that loss with a win in their most recent game over the Oilers but they won that game 4-3 in OT and I think they are going to fall flat on their face in this road game. This is a sandwich game for them since it is their only road game in between 2 home stretches and I don't think they are going to give their best effort in this game. I like the Flyers to bounce back with a win in this game and break out of their recent slump a bit. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flyers. |

03-05-22 | Indiana v. Purdue -10 | 67-69 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Indiana in this game on Saturday. Purdue hasn't looked good in their games lately and they have lost 2 games in a row. They lost both of those games in road games though and they kept the games close too, losing both by 3 points exactly. They still haven't looked good though and they were trailing for most of the time in both of those games. This is their last game of the year before tournaments start now and I think they will want to stop the bleeding as of late with a win here on their home court and give their fans something to cheer about as they get ready for the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments. They have nothing going for them at the moment and I expect Purdue to give a good effort in this game so they can build up some momentum in this game and carry it over into their postseason. Purdue has still been a really good team this year, they only have 6 losses all year and they have also looked like a completely different team on their home court this year. They have won 15/16 games on their home court and I think they are going to cap of the regular season with another win here, and I expect it to be a blowout. Indiana has been up and down this year but they have a record below .500 both in road games and in conference play. Indiana has won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they haven't had a tough schedule during that time either and I think Purdue is going to come after them here. Indiana has lost 4 games in a row against ranked teams and the most recent win that they managed to get over a ranked team this year was actually against Purdue earlier this year. Purdue lost in Indiana by 3 points and they definitely have this game circled on their calendar considering the rivalry between these 2 teams too. I think Purdue still remembers that loss and I think they are going to try and remedy it with a blowout win in this final home game this year. I like Purdue to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 81-65 Purdue. |

03-05-22 | Villanova -8.5 v. Butler | 78-59 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Villanova. I like Villanova to cover the spread against Butler in this game on Saturday. Villanova has looked in their games lately. They have won 6/7 of their previous 7 games and I think they are going to play well in this final game of the regular season. Their 2 most recent games featured 1 loss by 2 points and 1 win by 2 points but both of those games were against ranked teams who also happen to be in the top 3 of this conference too. I think Villanova will use this game to get ready for their tournament play and I expect them to give a good effort in this game to try and build some momentum they can use going forward. Butler has been having a terrible year and they have lost 4 games in a row now. They have even been having a rough time on their own home court with 2/3 losses in their previous 3 games. Their schedule has not even been that tough either in their home games lately and I think they will get destroyed by a much better team than what they've seen lately. They haven't been putting up a lot of points either lately. They have only put up 61+ points in 1/4 of their previous 4 games and I think they are going to have an even rougher time trying to score on Villanova's defense. Villanova has had a tougher schedule lately so they have been giving up more points but against a team like Butler, I expect them to give a really good defensive effort. Villanova is only giving up less than 65 points per game and Butler has been failing to even reach that in their games lately. Villanova can also put up anywhere in the 70's to 80's on average for points and I think this is going to be a game where they put up a lot. Villanova should be able to pull away in this game as they force some key turnovers throughout on the defensive end of the court. I like Villanova to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-57 Villanova. |

03-04-22 | Bucks v. Bulls OVER 238 | Top | 118-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Bulls OVER. I am on the over in the Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls game on Friday. The Bucks have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately and they have been starting to look a lot better in their games too. They have won 2 games in a row now and they have put up 120+ points in 5 games in a row. They have been scoring a lot in their games for a while now, they have consistently put up 100+ points in 13 games in a row and 9 of those games they put up 120+ points in. They have been a scoring machine lately and considering that the Bulls are the team that lead their division at the moment, I expect the Bucks to come in full force here. Even though they have been putting up a lot of points in their games, their defensive effort is really the reason why. The Bucks lack a huge defensive presence on the floor so they have to keep putting up the points in their games to keep up with the other team or to keep ahead in the game since they really don't play defense at all. They have given up 100+ points in 10 games in a row and again, in a lot of those games they were giving up 120+ points to the opposing team. The Bulls have also been a team that is putting up a ton of points lately. They have put up 100+ points in 17/18 of their previous 18 games but again, with a lot of those games they have been putting up 120+ points. The Bulls have been no slouch this year and they defend their home court really well. These 2 teams are fighting for the 1st place spot in the Central Division and I expect the Bulls to put up a very good challenge for the Bucks here. Neither of these teams have really been giving a good effort on defense in their games but they both put up a ton of points. I expect this to be another game where neither team really gives a good effort on defense and I expect both teams to keep driving the score up with each other, looking to put up more and more points all night. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-124 Bucks. |

03-04-22 | Kings v. Blue Jackets +140 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the LA Kings on Friday. The Jackets just won their most recent game against the Devils but they had lost 2 games in a row before that. They have been a very different team on home ice though and they have picked up 3 wins in their previous 4 home games. They have been scoring more goals in their home games lately and I think that will be important for them to get the win in this game. Their previous 3 home wins they scored 4 goals in all of those games. They are running into the Kings at a good time too since they have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are starting to enter a bit of a slump. They lost in a road game in their most recent game and they were even shut out in a bad 7-0 loss on home ice right before their most recent loss. The Kings have looked really good for a while but now they have been slipping up a bit and I think they have been performing better than they should be anyway. I expect the Kings to lose some more games now and drop down the standings more and I think the Blue Jackets can deliver another loss to them, extending their losing skid. I like the Blue Jackets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jackets. |

03-04-22 | North Carolina A&T v. Longwood UNDER 137 | 65-79 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: North Carolina A&T/Longwood UNDER. I am on the under in the North Carolina A&T vs Longwood game on Friday. NC A&T won in the 1st round of this tournament against Radford but they had finished their year off with 4 losses in a row and they looked really bad in most of those games. Their final 3 games to end the regular season were all losses where they didn't even put up 65+ in any of the games, and they failed to even reach 60 points in the 2 most recent games to end off the regular season. They did put up 78 points against Radford but I think they are going to have a much tougher time trying to score in this game. Longwood won the conference this year and they have been dominating in their conference play too, winning 15/16 games in conference play this year. Longwood hasn't played in almost a week now so they should be well rested for this game. They ended their year off winning 5 games in a row but they never put up 80+ points in any of those games. Longwood has been putting up around the low 70's in points lately but it has really been their defense that has been winning their games since they have looked great on the defensive end lately. They haven't given up 70+ points in 6/9 of their previous 9 games but even in the games they did, the most the opposing team ever got to in 1 of those games was 72 points. Longwood was the best team in their conference all year and I don't see why they are going to let off the gas now, especially when their defensive play has been so good. I expect them to give another great defensive effort in this game and keep the opposing team from scoring a lot of points. I don't think they are going to need to put up a lot of points to win this game either so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 70-57 Longwood. |

03-03-22 | Bruins -107 v. Golden Knights | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins. I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The Bruins have really been hitting their stride lately and have looked really good in their games. They had won 5 games in a row before losing their most recent game to the Ducks in a close game, losing 4-3. I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game and they have looked great lately, even winning a lot of their games by 2+ goals. Vegas has not looked as good in their games lately, they just won their most recent game but had lost 2 in a row before that and they have been really up and down lately. They have only won 2/7 games of their previous 7 and they are really slumping at the moment. The Golden Knights have been losing a lot lately and they haven't even had a tough schedule either. They have played against the Coyotes and the Sharks in 3/4 of their previous 4 games and both of those teams have been very bad all year. The Golden Knights had the 1st place spot in their division for a while but they have been free falling and now occupy the 3rd place spot. The Bruins have been surging lately and they still have a lot of work to do since they play in a very competitive division where they are 6 points behind 3rd place. I think the Bruins are going to continue their hot streak lately and they will bounce back in this game. I like the Bruins to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Bruins. |
|||||||
03-03-22 | Heat +1.5 v. Nets | 113-107 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Thursday. The Heat have looked really good in their games lately. They won 4 games in a row but they lost their most recent game in a nail biting and heartbreaking fashion by 1 point to the Bucks in a road game. I think they will be looking to bounce back in this game and I think they have been playing at a very high level lately. Their team has been healthy lately and all of their starters are playing well and I think this team is going to start getting really hot as the playoffs start to approach. The Nets have been terrible lately and a big part of that is due to Kevin Durant being out with injury. This is a home game for them so Kyrie Irving won't be eligible to play in this game but this is supposed to be the return of Durant after weeks of missing games due to an MCL sprain. Durant has looked great this year when he has been healthy but this is an injury where the return date kept getting pushed back and I don't think he is going to just hop back on the court and be 100% here. This will also be his 1st game playing with some new teammates and I think he will need some time to get into a groove playing with them. I expect the Nets to come out a bit slow in this game and I think the Heat can take control of this game early and keep control throughout the game. I expect the Heat to be eager for a win after the way they lost to the Bucks last night. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 115-107 Heat. |

03-03-22 | Detroit v. Northern Kentucky -3 | 59-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northern Kentucky. I like Northern Kentucky to cover the spread against Detroit in this game on Thursday. Northern Kentucky has won 3 games in a row and they have looked really good in those games winning their 2 most recent home games by 10+ points. The last game they lost was to Detroit too so they have some extra motivation to beat them in this game. Northern Kentucky has actually won 10/12 of their previous 12 games and both of their losses during that time were to Detroit, losing 1 home game and 1 road game. I think they will be out for their revenge here after going 0-2 against Detroit this year and they should be fueled by that since their 2 most recent losses both came at the hands of Detroit. I think this is the perfect spot for Northern Kentucky to step up and kick them out of the tournament here, especially when they have been having a much better year. This will also be a home game for them and they were very good in home games this year at 11-4. Detroit really struggled in their road games this year at 5-13 and I think the pressure is going to get to them in this game. Detroit lost their very last game of the regular season in a home game and they have already had to play an extra game in this tournament, kicking out Green bay in a blowout win in another home game. I think they are going to feel the pressure here in this high stakes road game though and I think Northern Kentucky is going to be coming for blood in this game. I like Northern Kentucky to get revenge for their 2 most recent losses here and cover the spread in a nice home win for them against Detroit here. T.M. Prediction: 72-61 Northern Kentucky. |

03-02-22 | Kings v. Stars -135 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars. I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the LA Kings on Wednesday. The Stars were just in a bit of a rough patch lately but I think they have broken out of it with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games. They have won 2 games in a row on home ice now and I think they are going to carry over that momentum into this game. The Stars are trying to work their way into a playoff spot since they are in a very competitive division but I think they can start stringing some wins together here and put together a bit of a run themselves. The Kings have been having a great year since they are in 2nd place of their division but they haven't looked good lately and I think the Stars can take advantage of them in their current slump. The Kings won 5 games in a row but their schedule was on the weaker side during that time and it really showed in their most recent game when they were destroyed by the Bruins on their own home ice 7-0. I think they are running into a wall in this game with the Stars who have been really good on home ice and they can score a ton of goals in their games when needed. They just scored 4 goals in their most recent game and I think the Kings are going to be in trouble after that terrible performance by their goalie. That can't even be fully pinned on him though since their defense was also terrible and I think the Stars are going to find the back of the net quite easily here. I like the Stars to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Stars. |

03-02-22 | Kings v. Pelicans -5 | 95-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Sacramento Kings in this game on Wednesday. The Pelicans have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue playing at a high level here since they are in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Pelicans have won 2 games in a row and both were very good wins since they knocked off the Suns, who are the best team in the league at the moment, and the Lakers in their most recent game. They added CJ McCollum to their team via a trade and now they haven't lost a game since coming back from the All Star break. They won both of those games by 15+ points too and both their offense and defense has looked good in the games. They put up 115+ points in both games and didn't give up 105+ points in either game. I think their team chemistry has been getting a lot better lately and I think they are going to start making a real run for the playoffs in this final stretch. The Kings also made some trades to try and give their team a boost but it hasn't been panning out for them since they lost 4 games in a row before winning their most recent game. Even so, their most recent game was a 20+ point win over the Thunder who have been having a terrible year as 1 of the worst teams in the league. I think the Pelicans are built a lot better than the Kings are and I think they can beat up on them on their home court here. I think the Pelicans are actually a team worthy of a playoff spot this year with how much improvement they have shown and I just think the Kings aren't good enough to make it in. I expect the Pelicans to start going on a run here so I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-111 Pelicans. |

03-02-22 | Western Kentucky -2 v. Marshall | 86-72 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread against Marshall in this game on Wednesday. Western Kentucky just lost their most recent game but they had won 7 games in a row before losing that game. I think they will be looking to bounce back in this game after a very bad game against Middle Tennessee in their most recent game. They lost that game by 10+ points but when they were on their big win streak, they were winning a lot of their games by 10+ points and that also includes road games during that time. I think Western Kentucky is a lot better here and I expect them to bounce back with some much better play in this game. Western Kentucky has been putting together a decent year in their conference play and they have been a lot better than Marshall who are in last place of their division within the conference. Marshall is only even in their home games this year and they gave won 4/16 games in conference play. Marshall also just lost their most recent game to Middle Tennessee too but they looked a lot worse before that game. They have lost most of their games over their previous 8 and a lot of them have been by 10+ points. I don't think this game is going to be a ridiculous blowout for Western Kentucky but they are the better team here and I expect them to finish off their year with 2 good wins over Marshall and carry over some of that momentum to their tournament play. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-69 Western Kentucky. |

03-01-22 | Purdue -2.5 v. Wisconsin | 67-70 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Tuesday. Purdue hasn't looked great lately but they have still been getting wins in their games with 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games. They just lost their most recent game to Michigan State by 3 points in a road game that they were trailing in the whole time and did not play their best in. I think Purdue is the best team in this conference though and I expect them to bounce back after a close loss like that. Purdue is in 2nd place and is just below Wisconsin in the standings but they are only 1 game behind and I think Purdue will be motivated to get this win. Purdue lost on their home court to Wisconsin very early in the season this year but I think Purdue will be looking to get their revenge on Wisconsin here. There is only 2 games left and I expect Purdue to start getting hot going into tournament play and that starts here with a bounce back win after a bad road performance in their most recent game. Wisconsin has won 4 games in a row but they haven't seen another ranked team during that time and I think they are going to run into a difficult challenge here. Their 2 most recent wins haven't been impressive either and I think Purdue has the offense and the defense to stop Wisconsin here and beat them on their own home floor. I think Purdue has a few reasons to be motivated for this game and I expect them to start going as hard as they can here and start getting themselves into the tournament mindset. This is a big test for Purdue but I think they are going to answer the call here and win this game. I like Purdue to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 Purdue. |

03-01-22 | Warriors +1 v. Wolves | 114-129 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors haven't looked good lately, they have won 1/4 games of their previous 4 but they have had some close losses in those games too. I think it is time for the Warriors to bounce back though and I expect them to get back to their winning ways in this game. The Warriors are a bit banged up here missing Klay Thompson and Draymond Green but Steph Curry is still in and he had to carry this team for most of the year and they were 1 of the best teams in the league over the 1st half of the season. I think Steph is going to dominate in this game and lead his team to victory helping them to break out of their funk as of late. The T-wolves have looked good in a lot of their games this year and they have a nice team that is coming together but they are not quite there yet and this team is clearly still figuring things out this year or they wouldn't be a 33-29 team that is very up and down and has been bouncing around in the standings all year. The Warriors have been in a funk lately but they have been steady all year as 1 of the best teams in the league and they are still in 2nd place in the West. They got to that spot with just Steph playing hard in every game early on in the year and I think he is going to rise to the occasion here and get his team back on track. This is a team that is bound for the playoffs this year and will be taking a very high seed after missing out on the playoffs the last few years due to a ton of injuries. I think the Warriors are going to play with a chip on their shoulder here and I think they can get by the T-wolves in this game. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 119-111 Warriors. |

03-01-22 | Flames v. Wild -105 | 5-1 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Wild. I like the Minnesota Wild to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. This is a big revenge game for the Wild here and I think they are going to answer the call with a better performance and win this game. They haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row but it was their most recent loss that was embarrassing and I think they will be looking to bounce back here from it. They lost in Calgary on Saturday 7-3 and they have been sitting on that loss for a few days now. It was the most recent game that they played too so I think it will still be fresh in their minds and I expect them to have it out for the Flames in this game. The Wild are on their home ice this time too and I expect them to play a lot better here after winning the 1st game of their road trip and them losing 3 in a row after that. The Flames have been very hot lately but I think they are starting to cool off and this is the perfect time for the Wild to pounce on them. The Flames just had their 10 game win streak ended by a 7-1 loss to the Canucks and that 7-3 win over the Wild in their most recent game was in response to that 7-1 loss. I think they've lost a lot of their momentum from that win streak though and I think they won't come out with the same energy and intensity in this game. That 7-1 loss to the Canucks was also their most recent road game. The Flames ended that 10 game win streak with 7 games in a row on home ice and 8/9 of their previous 9 games have also been on home ice for them, all 8 of those being wins while the 1 loss was the road game. I think they are going to be at a disadvantage here going on the road after so many home games in a row and they have already shown that to be true in their loss to the Canucks. I don't like this spot for the Flames and I think the Wild are going to come with extra motivation to win this game. I like the Wild to win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Wild. |

03-01-22 | Bucknell v. Lafayette -5.5 | 82-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lafayette. I like Lafayette to cover the spread against Bucknell in this game on Tuesday. Lafayette has lost 2 games in a row now and they haven't looked that great ending off the year like that but I expect them to step up here now that they are playing in the Patriot League Tournament. They weren't the greatest in their home games this year at 6-8 but they have actually looked pretty good at home in their games lately. They ended the year off winning 4/5 home games of their previous 5 and that loss came in their most recent game which was also their final game of the regular season. They lost by 20 points to Lehigh but I think they will be looking to get that game back on their home court here and they have a much easier opposing team on the table to play against here. Bucknell finished the regular season with the worst record in their conference play and they were the worst road team in the league too. They played 15 road games this year and they lost 14/15 of those road games. They have lost 4 road games in a row and they have even been blown out by 10+ points in a few of them. I think Lafayette is a lot better here and I expect them to play with some kick in their step at home here in a tournament game. I also think they will have a fire lit under them from that last season game where they lost by 20 points on their home court and I expect them to put on a better show here. Bucknell has been terrible in road games all year and I see no reason why they are going to perform well here all of the sudden. I like Lafayette to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-61 Lafayette. |

03-01-22 | North Alabama v. Florida Gulf Coast -10.5 | 72-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Gulf Coast. I like Florida Gulf Coast to cover the spread against North Alabama in this game on Tuesday. Florida Gulf Coast has won 2 games in a row to finish the regular season and they were 1 of the better teams in their conference this year. They are going to have home advantage in this game to start off their Atlantic Sun Tournament and I think they should destroy North Alabama in this game. Florida Gulf Coast has been getting very hot to end the regular season and they ended their year with 2 big wins over the 2 teams that finished higher than they did in their division. I think they are going to have a lot of momentum from those games and I expect them to come out with a lot energy in this game and take an early lead. North Alabama was the worst team in their conference this year and they even finished in last place with a 2-14 record in conference play. The next closest team to them had 3 more wins in conference play but North Alabama was also terrible in their road games this year too. They lost 11/14 of their road games and they have lost 3 road games in a row now. They finished their year losing 8 games in a row and most of their road losses during that time were by 10+ points. They even lost to Florida Gulf Coast in 1 of those games by 30+ points and I don't see why this game would be any different for them. Florida Gulf Coast is going to play at their best in this game now that they have reached tournament play and I expect them to dispose of North Alabama quickly in this game. This should be a blowout for Florida Gulf Coast here, I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 80-57 Florida Gulf Coast. |

02-28-22 | San Diego State -1.5 v. Wyoming | 73-66 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State. I like San Diego State to cover the spread against Wyoming in this game on Monday. San Diego State has looked really good in their games lately. They have won 6/7 games of their previous 7 and they won their most recent game by 20+ points. The only loss they had over their previous 7 games was in a road game but they lost by 1 point to Boise State and Boise State is in 1st place of this conference at the moment. Before taking that road loss, San Diego State had won 2 games in a row and both wins were by 10+ points. I think they can continue to play like that in this game and get a win over Wyoming here. Wyoming is in 2nd place of the conference at the moment while San Diego State is in 4th but Wyoming only has 3 losses in conference play this year while San Diego State has just 4 losses and has played less games in conference play so far. Wyoming hasn't been playing at their best lately either. They won their most recent game but they have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 5 games. Wyoming has been really up and down lately and I think San Diego State can get the better of them here. San Diego State has been giving a much better defensive effort in their games lately too. They haven't given up 60+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row now and I think they will continue to dominate on the defensive end in this game. I expect San Diego State to keep Wyoming's offense held back with their great defensive effort and I think that is going to be a key part for them to win this game. I like San Diego State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 65-57 San Diego State. |

02-28-22 | Raptors -2.5 v. Nets | 133-97 | Win | 100 | 14 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Monday. The Raptors have lost 2 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. The Raptors looked really good in their games but they haven't been able to win 1 since coming back from the layoff for the All Star break but I think it is time for them to win here. Their 2 most recent losses were both in road games and they lost both of those games by 20+ points. I think they are going to play a lot better here after those terrible performances and I expect them to be a lot better in this road game since they are playing the Nets. The Nets don't get to play Kyrie Irving when they are playing in home games so that puts the Nets at a larger disadvantage here than if this game were to be played on the road. The Nets rotation is a lot weaker without Irving in it and they are still missing their backbone on this team, Kevin Durant. I think the Raptors can take advantage of the Nets here and get a win to break out of their funk. The Nets just won their most recent game but that was a road game for them, they have lost 2 home games in a row and both of those losses were by 10+ points. The Raptors have the talent on their team to make a playoff push here and I expect them to start getting back in their groove as they play more games after that layoff. I think they will come out strong in this game and beat up on a weakened Nets rotation here. I like the Raptors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 113-104 Raptors. |

02-28-22 | Canucks +105 v. Devils | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The Canucks have won 3 games in a row and they have looked really good in those games. They have won all 3 games by 3+ goals but both their offense and defense has been great in all of those games. They haven't given up more than 2 goals in 3 games in a row but they have scored 5+ goals in all of those games. That run extends further back though, they have scored 4+ goals in 5 games in a row now and I think they will keep it up in this game. Their defense has been great lately but that was a problem that they really fixed after firing their coach midway through the season. They have looked a lot better since then though and now their offense is waking up too. The Devils have also been scoring a lot lately but their defense hasn't been as good as the Canucks defense has been and the Devils just lost their most recent game to the bad Blackhawks who have been terrible this year yet managed to put in 8 goals on the Devils. This has been a common theme for them lately since there are plenty of other games they have played as of late where they have given up a ton of goals in. I think the Canucks are hot and the Devils are not going to be able to stop them here with how good the Canucks have looked lately and how bad the Devils have. I think the Canucks are going to skate all over the Devils in this game and score a ton of goals on them while keeping the Devils out with that great defensive effort. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Canucks. |

02-27-22 | Pelicans v. Lakers -1.5 | 123-95 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Sunday. The Lakers just lost their most recent game to the Clippers by 3 points but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. The Lakers are in 9th place at the moment and they have a few teams coming up the rear trying to take those play in playoff spots from them. I think the Lakers are going to start turning the jets on these games since now is the time to get on a run and start playing at their best getting ready for the playoffs. They have been losing a lot lately and they just had the All Star break to give their team a breather and regroup. They came out and lost their 1st game back by 3 to the Clippers but I think they are going to rise to the occasion here and I start to win some more games now. The Pelicans are 1 of those teams that are trying to catch the Lakers and they are only a few games behind them. The Lakers could really extend their lead over them with a win here though and I think they will be able to do so. The Pelicans weren't winning many games either before the All Star break but they came out and beat the Suns in a road game by 15+ points. I think this will be a let down spot for them since they just beat the best team in the league and I expect the Lakers to defend their home court here a lot better than they have been lately. I think the Lakers can step up here and start winning more games or their postseason chances are going to start being in jeopardy. I like the Lakers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 107-100 Lakers. |

02-27-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks -125 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Jose Sharks. I like the San Jose Sharks to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday. The Sharks haven't looked good at all in their games lately but I think they can get a win here over a team that is just as bad as they are this year. The Sharks have won 1 time in their previous 9 games but I think it is time for them to break out of that funk a bit and win this game. They have started to look better in their games lately. They lost a road game in a shootout to the Ducks and then won a game in a shootout on home ice over the Islanders right after that loss but now they have lost again in their most recent game. They lost 3-1 on home ice to the Bruins but the Kraken are nowhere near as good as the Bruins are and I think the Sharks can get a win over them on home ice here. The Kraken is the only team in the same division as the Sharks that is actually lower than the Sharks in the standings, and the Sharks have a 15 point lead over the Kraken. The Kraken have also looked terrible lately, losing 6 games in a row now and most of those losses were by 2+ goals. They just took the Bruins to OT in their most recent game where they lost 3-2 on home ice but the Kraken have been a completely different team on home ice this year and they have won a majority of their games there. They have been terrible in their road games though and I think the Sharks can take advantage of that to get a win against them here. I like the Sharks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Sharks. |

02-27-22 | Celtics v. Pacers UNDER 223.5 | 107-128 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Celtics/Pacers UNDER. I am on the under in the Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers game on Sunday. The Celtics have been very hot lately and they have looked good in a lot of their games. They have been winning a lot lately and they even look great with the defensive effort they've been giving in their games. Over their previous 12 games, they have given up 110+ points 1 time, 105+ points 3 times, and the other 9 games they haven't given up 105+ points in but most of those games they even held the opposing team to under 100 points. I think the Celtics will continue to play well on defense in their games and they have really been clicking in all of these games. It helps that their team hasn't been injured at all lately so I think they will keep up their momentum and play at a high level on defense to win their games like they have been lately. The pacers have been in some high scoring games lately but they haven't really been playing any defensive teams. All the teams they have seen lately are teams that put up a lot of points so they have had to keep up in a lot of their games. I don't think that is going to be the case here though. The Pacers do not have a lot of talented players left after the trade deadline and their team is very young and inexperienced now for the most part. I think they will struggle to put up points in this game and I think they are going to run into a wall when they see the kind of defense they are up against here. The Celtics are way more talented than the Pacers here and I don't think the Celtics will even have to score a lot of points in this game to win it. I am expecting a good defensive effort from that which will keep this a low scoring game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 101-89 Celtics. |

02-27-22 | East Tennessee State v. NC-Greensboro -4 | 73-69 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNC Greensboro. I like UNC Greensboro to cover the spread against East Tennessee State in this game on Sunday. UNC Greensboro just won their most recent game by 9 on their home court and they have looked really good on their home court all year. They have been a bit up and down lately but they have only lost 2 times in their previous 7 games and I think they can carry over some of that momentum into this game. East Tennessee State hasn't looked good in their games lately. They just lost their most recent game on their home court and they have won 1 time over their previous 4 games. They did win their most recent road game but they have been terrible in their road games this year at 3-10. They have also been terrible in conference play too and they even lost the 1st meeting against UNC Greensboro in a game earlier this year. UNC Greensboro won that game by 4 points and that was a road game for them. I think UNC Greensboro will play even better on their home court here and I expect them to win this game by more points than they did last time. UNC Greensboro actually plays well on the defensive end and I think that will be a key piece in winning this game for them. East Tennessee gives up a lot of points in their games so I don't see UNCG having issues putting up points here. East Tennessee has already been struggling to keep up in a lot of their games though and I think it will be even harder for them to score on UNCG's defense in this game. I expect UNCG to give a good defensive effort on their home court and use it to pull away in this game since East Tennessee will not be able to keep up with their scoring. I like UNC Greensboro to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 71-62 UNC Greensboro. |

02-27-22 | Connecticut -11 v. Georgetown | Top | 86-77 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UConn. I like UConn to cover the spread against Georgetown in this game on Sunday. UConn has looked really good in their games lately and I think they have been building up some momentum in their games which should continue into this game and give a boost to their play. They have won 4 games in a row and they just beat Villanova who has been hot lately and is ranked 8th in the country at the moment. I think UConn is going to keep playing well here and I expect a huge win from them here. Georgetown has been terrible in conference play this year at 0-16 and I think they aren't even going to win a game at all now with only a few games left. This is their final home game of the year too and they are below .500 on their home court this year at 6-10. UConn hasn't been great in road games this year, but they are still even in those games and they have been dominating their conference play for most of the year too. They are really hot at the moment and have been rolling over teams lately, I expect them to do the same here. Georgetown hasn't just been losing a lot of games lately, they have been losing a lot of their games by 10+ points and I think they are going to struggle to keep up with UConn here. UConn has looked a lot better on the defensive end of the court lately. They haven't given up 70+ points to 4 opposing teams in a row and I think they will continue here. Georgetown hasn't put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row but they have given up 70+ and even 80+ points in most of their games in conference play this year. This is the final stretch for UConn and they need to focus here in these last few games and win them all. I think they have the momentum on their side with how they have looked lately and after that huge win over Villanova, I expect them to just blow Georgetown away here. I like UConn to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 82-66 UConn. |
