02-13-21 | UNLV +9.5 v. Boise State | 59-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 24 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on UNLV +9.5 The Key: UNLV will be hungry to avenge its 66-78 road loss at Boise State on Thursday. Now the Rebels are 9.5-point dogs here Saturday and will be the hungrier team. The Rebels are 32-12 ATS in their last 44 road games when playing with one or less days' rest. The Rebels are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games. We're getting them cheap here Saturday because they have failed to cover 6 in a row coming in. The Broncos have dropped 3 of their last 5 games overall after finally stepping up in competition after padding their 14-4 record in the first half of the season. Take UNLV. |

02-13-21 | Iowa v. Michigan State +5 | Top | 88-58 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 54 m | Show |
7* Big Ten Game of the Year on Michigan State +5 The Key: The Michigan State Spartans have won 2 in a row and are making a push to make the NCAA Tournament. Now it's time for them to avenge their 78-84 road loss at Iowa last week. The Spartans come back as 5-point home dogs here. That's significant when you consider Michigan State is 17-1 SU in its last 18 home matchups with the Hawkeyes. This line is way off for a Hawkeyes team that has dropped 4 of its last 6 games coming in. The Spartans should be the favorites in this matchup and don't be afraid to bet a percentage of your wager on the money line as well. Take Michigan State. |

02-12-21 | Temple +6.5 v. Cincinnati | 69-71 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Temple +6.5 The Key: Temple will be hungry to avenge its 63-60 home loss to Cincinnati as 3-point dogs on February 4th. Now the Owls are 6.5-point dogs in the rematch just 8 days later with the only difference being the change of venue. I love the price we are getting with the Owls here tonight catching 3.5 more points than they were in the first matchup. Cincinnati has won just one of its last 11 games by more than 5 points. That was a 7-point win over SMU. The Owls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Bearcats are 16-38 ATS in their last 54 games overall. Cincinnati is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 home games. The Bearcats are 16-35 ATS in their last 51 games as favorites, including 1-7 ATS as favorites this season. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups. Take Temple. |
|||||||
02-11-21 | Iowa State +15.5 v. Kansas | 64-97 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
6* Iowa State/Kansas Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Iowa State +15.5 The Key: The Iowa State Cyclones keep fighting hard for their first Big 12 victory. They are 0-9 SU in Big 12 games but 6-3 ATS in conference play. They are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games with a 4-point loss to West Virginia as an 11.5-point dog, a 7-point loss at Oklahoma as a 14-point dog and a 3-point loss at TCU as a 4.5-point dog. They can certainly stay within 15.5 points of a Kansas team that is the worst Kansas team we have seen in years. The Jayhawks are just 13-7 SU & 8-11 ATS this season. They have won just one of their last 9 games by more than 12 points. They just aren't blowing teams out this season. The Cyclones are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against teams that win more than 60% of their home games. The Jayhawks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games off a win. The road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 matchups. The Cyclones are 25-12 ATS in their last 37 games as a road underdog of 12.5 or more points. Take Iowa State. |
|||||||
02-11-21 | Purdue v. Minnesota -3 | 68-71 | Push | 0 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
6* Purdue/Minnesota Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Minnesota -3 The Key: Minnesota will be hungry to avenge a 62-81 road loss at Purdue on January 30th. I like their chances considering the Golden Gophers are 12-1 SU & 8-4-1 ATS at home this year. Purdue is just 3-5 SU in true road games this year. The home team is 5-0 SU in the last 5 matchups in this series. The Golden Gophers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Take Minnesota. |
|||||||
02-10-21 | Wichita State v. UCF +120 | 61-60 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
6* Wednesday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on UCF ML +120 The Key: UCF wants to avenge its 88-93 (OT) loss at Wichita State on January 30th. The Knights get to host the Shockers just 10 days later and will pull the upset at home to get their revenge. Wichita State has been very fortunate to win its last 3 games as they have all come by 8 points or less against some bad teams in UCF, Tulane and Temple all at home. IN their last road game, they lost 52-72 at Memphis. The Shockers are now 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Knights have played 4 straight road games and just upset Tulsa 65-58 as 5-point road dogs. They will be happy to be back home tonight. The Knights are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups. Take UCF on the Money Line. |
|||||||
02-10-21 | Houston -12.5 v. South Florida | 82-65 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
6* Wednesday NCAAB *BLOWOUT* on Houston -12.5 The Key: South Florida has been off since January 9 due to COVID. Now they return almost exactly one month later and face the worst possible team they could in the American Athletic. They have to go up against a Top 10 team in Houston here, which is 16-2 on the season with 14 of those wins by double-digits. Rust will be a factor for the Bulls, and the Cougars will take advantage and stomp on them early and hold them off late for a win and cover. The Cougars are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 matchups. The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Take Houston. |
|||||||
02-10-21 | Tulane +7.5 v. Tulsa | 58-48 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
6* Tulane/Tulsa AAC *CA$H COW* on Tulane +7.5 The Key: Tulane has covered 3 straight coming in with an upset win at Temple, an 8-point loss at Wichita State and a 3-point home loss to Cincinnati. The Green Wave are playing well, while the Tulsa Golden Hurricane are not. Tulsa has lost 4 of its last 5 games overall with 2 straight home losses to SMU and UCF. The road team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 matchups in this series. In its last 5 trips to Tulsa, Tulane hasn't once lost by more than 8 points. The Green Wave are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a road dog between 6.5 and 12 points. The Green Wave are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 road games overall. Take Tulane. |
|||||||
02-09-21 | Iowa State +6.5 v. TCU | 76-79 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
6* Iowa State/TCU Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Iowa State +6.5 The Key: The Iowa State Cyclones are 0-8 SU in Big 12 play but 5-3 ATS. They have been competitive against some great teams as they covered in losses to Oklahoma by 7 and WVU by 4 in their last 2 games coming in. They are hungry for their first Big 12 victory and their best chance of the season comes tonight against the TCU Horned Frogs. This is a TCU team that is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games with its lone victory coming by 3 points. TCU is 1-7 ATS in its 8 home games this year. The Horned Frogs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as home favorites. TCU is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record. The Horned Frogs are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games against a team with a losing record. Take Iowa State. |
|||||||
02-09-21 | St. John's v. Butler -1 | 73-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Butler -1 The Key: The price is getting steep to back a St. John's team that has won 6 straight and covered 8 in a row coming in. That includes their 69-57 home win over Butler back on January 12. Now the Bulldogs will be hungry to avenge that defeat and put an end to this winning streak. The Bulldogs are as healthy as they've been all season now and are starting to play up to their potential. They have won 3 of their last 6 including and upset home win over Creighton. They also beat DePaul by 10 at home last time out and are in the more favorable situation playing just their 2nd game in 7 days. The Red Storm will be playing their 5th game in 14 days and their 4th road game during this stretch. The Bulldogs are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games when the line is +3 to -3. The Bulldogs are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games when avenging a loss. The home team is 11-1 ATS in the last 12 matchups. Take Butler. |
|||||||
02-08-21 | Oregon State +12.5 v. Colorado | 49-78 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
6* Oregon State/Colorado Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Oregon State +12.5 The Key: The Oregon State Beavers are playing too well right now to be catching this many points from Colorado. The Beavers are 5-2 SU & 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Their only losses both came on the road to 2 of the best teams in the Pac-12 in USC by 13 and UCLA by 5. They also upset Oregon by 11 as 9-point road dogs and upset USC as 10-point home dogs. Colorado hasn't won any of its last 5 games by more than 12 points. They lost outright as a 7.5-point home favorite to Utah and outright as a 13-point road favorite at Washington. That's the same Washington team that Oregon State beat by 20 at home two games ago. The road team is 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups with the Beavers pulling the outright upset in each of their last 2 trips to Colorado. The Buffaloes are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games off a win. The Beavers are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games against teams that attempt 18 or fewer FT per game. Take Oregon State. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Southern Illinois +8 v. Bradley | 69-68 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Southern Illinois +8 The Key: Southern Illinois was covering the entire way yesterday until fouls in the final second led to them losing 66-74 at Bradley, pushing as 8-point underdogs. Now the Salukis are identical 8-point road dogs to the Braves today. I expect them to improve upon that result and stay within the number this time and possibly pull the upset. It's a struggling Bradley team that is just 1-6 SU & 0-5-2 ATS in its last 7 games overall. The Salukis are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against a team that wins more than 60% of their games. The road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups. Take Southern Illinois. |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Drake v. Valparaiso +13 | 57-74 | Win | 100 | 4 h 42 m | Show | |
6* Missouri Valley *CA$H COW* on Valparaiso +13 The Key: We were right on Valpo +13 yesterday and the price is right to back the Crusaders again at home as identical 13-point dogs to Drake again today. They nearly handed Drake their first loss of the season, losing just 77-80 yesterday. So even held an 8-point lead at halftime. They can stay within 13 here and possibly pull off the upset. The pressure is mounting with each passing game for the Bulldogs to try and remain unbeaten. At some point they will slip up and it's going to be hard for them to keep covering these double-digit spread. These 2 road games against Valpo are the first time all season that Drake has been a double-digit road favorite. The Crusaders are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games as home dogs. Bets on home teams off a home cover where they lost straight up as an underdog against an opponent after a road game where both team scored 75 points or more are 34-7 ATS over the last 5 years. Take Valparaiso. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Colorado State v. Wyoming +7.5 | Top | 68-59 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
7* Mountain West Game of the Month on Wyoming +7.5 The Key: Wyoming will be looking to avenge its 72-74 home loss to Colorado State as identical 7.5-point dogs on Thursday. The Cowboys blew a 38-32 halftime lead in that contest and allowed the Rams to shoot 55.1% while they shot 42.6% themselves. Just a slight improvement will have them covering this spread again and possibly winning outright. The Cowboys are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games when avenging a same-season loss. The Cowboys are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games as underdogs. The underdog is 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 matchups. Take Wyoming. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Washington +12.5 v. Oregon | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
6* Washington/Oregon Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Washington +12.5 The Key: The Oregon Ducks can't catch a break. They had to pause their program for 2 weeks on 2 separate occasions lately. The results have been awful. They were upset 64-75 as 9-point home favorites by Oregon State in their first game back from their first break. And then they were upset 71-74 as 11.5-point favorites against Washington State on Thursday in their first game back from their 2nd break. Not to mention, they lost their best player in Chris Duarte (17.8 PPG) to a serious ankle injury in that loss to the Cougars. Now they won't have him against Washington tonight. The Huskies are good enough to stay within this 12.5-point spread given all the difficulties surrounding Oregon's program right now. The Ducks are just 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games off 2 consecutive home losses. The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups. Take Washington. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Syracuse +3.5 v. Clemson | 61-78 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
6* Syracuse/Clemson ACC *CA$H COW* on Syracuse +3.5 The Key: The Syracuse Orange have won 3 of their last 4 games with their only loss coming on the road to Virginia. Clemson is 2-4 SU & 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games overall. The situation favors the Orange as they have been off since January 31st while Clemson is coming off an upset win over UNC on February 2nd. That makes this a potential letdown spot for the Tigers as well. It's a bad matchup for Clemson. They shoot just 30.9% from 3-point range this year, one of the worst percentages in the country. Teams need to be able to make the 3 ball against Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense. I don't foresee the Tigers having much success in that department as the Orange allow just 29.5% shooting from 3 on the season. Clemson is 4-14 ATS in its last 18 games against teams that commit 12 or fewer turnovers per game. Syracuse is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 road games with a total of 130 to 139.5. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 matchups. Take Syracuse. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Drake v. Valparaiso +13 | 80-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
6* Drake/Valparaiso MVC *CA$H COW* on Valpo +13 The Key: The price is right to back Valpo at home today as they come in hungry to hand Drake its first loss of the season. The pressure is mounting with each passing game for the Bulldogs to try and remain unbeaten. At some point they will slip up, and at the very least it will be difficult for them to cover this double-digit spread in the road. It's the first time all season they have been a double-digit road favorite. The Crusaders are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games when coming off 2 consecutive road games. The Crusaders are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games as home dogs. Take Valparaiso. |
|||||||
02-05-21 | Boise State v. Nevada +4.5 | 72-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
6* Boise State/Nevada Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Nevada +4.5 The Key: The Boise State Broncos have padded their record against an easy Mountain West schedule. They finally had to face a decent team in Colorado State and split their 2 games with the Rams last time out, but got outscored by a combined 14 points in those 2 games. Now they face an even better team here in Nevada in my opinion. It's a Nevada team that has gone 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games overall and hasn't lost any of its last 13 games by more than 7 points. That includes road losses to San Diego State by 5 and 2 points in a back-to-back situation. If they can hang with the Aztecs on the road, they can beat Boise State at home. After all, the Wolf Pack have won 8 of their last 9 matchups with Boise State outright. Take Nevada. |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Washington State +11.5 v. Oregon | 74-71 | Win | 100 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
6* Washington State/Oregon Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Washington State +11.5 The Key: The Oregon Ducks should not be double-digit favorites over Washington State tonight given the status of their program. The Ducks will be playing for just the 2nd time since January 9th. They came back from a 2-week break on January 23rd and were upset 64-75 by a bad Oregon State team as a 9-point home favorite. They have since had to take another nearly 2 week break and return to action tonight against the Cougars. There will be some rust with the Ducks that won't allow them to cover this big number. Washington State is one of the most improved teams in the country this year. The Cougars only have one loss all season by more than 15 points. Washington State is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 road games, and 5-1 ATS in its last 6 road games against a team that wins more than 60% of its home games. The Cougars are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games off a game with 9 or fewer assists. Take Washington State. |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Cincinnati v. Temple -1.5 | 63-60 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Temple -1.5 The Key: I like the price we are getting on Temple tonight in a home game where they basically just have to win to cover. We are getting them cheap because they weren't mentally in the game against Tulane in their 17-point home loss due to the death of former head coach John Chaney. But they should come back more focused tonight. The Owls are still 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games even with that loss to Tulane. And now they host a Cincinnati team that has been off since January 10th. It's safe to say there will be rust involved with the Bearcats because they've barely even been able to practice, and there's talk that some walk ons might have to play. Cincinnati hasn't been very good as it is in going 1-6 SU & 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games. The Bearcats are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games after going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The Bearcats are 15-37 ATS in their last 52 games overall. Take Temple. |
|||||||
02-03-21 | Tulane +11.5 v. Wichita State | 67-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
6* Tulane/Wichita State AAC *CA$H COW* on Tulane +11.5 The Key: Wichita State is laying too many points here against Tulane. The Shockers have won just one of their last 6 games by more than 6 points. They needed OT to beat UCF last time out. Tulane just won 81-64 outright at Temple last time out and is starting to play well. They are undervalued due to 2 recent blowout losses to Houston, which is blowing everyone out. Houston is the only team to beat Tulane by more than 10 points all season. Wichita State only has 3 wins by double-digits all season and 2 of them came against Emporia State and Newman. The Green Wave are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games against good teams that win 60% to 80% of their games. The Green Wave are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 road games. Take Tulane. |
|||||||
02-03-21 | Virginia Tech v. Pittsburgh +4.5 | 72-83 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
6* Virginia Tech/Pittsburgh ACC *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh +4.5 The Key: The Virginia Tech Hokies are primed for a letdown tonight after upsetting Virginia at home in their last game. The Hokies only have 2 road wins all season and they came against ACC bottom feeders Notre Dame and Wake Forest. Pittsburgh is a hungry team off 3 straight losses and we should get a big effort from the Panthers tonight because of it. The Hokies are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Panthers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games off 2 straight home losses. Take Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
02-02-21 | Mississippi State +7 v. Arkansas | 45-61 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
6* Mississippi State/Arkansas SEC *CA$H COW* on Mississippi State +7 The Key: Mississippi State has gone 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games overall. They were competitive in losses at Alabama by 8 and at Tennessee by 3 before crushing Iowa State 95-56 over the weekend. So to be competitive with Alabama and Tennessee on the road tells you all you need to know about this team considering those are the 2 best teams in the SEC. Now they are catching 7 points against an Arkansas team that has been mis-priced for weeks. The Razorbacks are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall with their only covers coming against 2 of the worst teams in the SEC in Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. They lost by 31 at Alabama, by 16 at LSU and were just beaten by 4 at Oklahoma State. The Bulldogs are 6-0 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last 6 matchups with Arkansas, winning 4 times outright as underdogs. Take Mississippi State. |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -6.5 | 52-57 | Loss | -114 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
6* Oklahoma/Texas Tech Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Texas Tech -6.5 The Key: The Oklahoma Sooners have won 5 straight games and covered in 6 straight. But things won't be so easy for them tonight against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are improving rapidly as well in going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. And while the Red Raiders are fully healthy, the Sooners will be missing 2 key players tonight due to COVID-19. Leading scorer Austin Reaves (15.8 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 5.1 APG) and fellow starter Alondes Williams (7.7 PPG, 3.4 RPG) will both have to sit out tonight. The Sooners stand little to no chance of even keeping this game competitive without these two. Texas Tech is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 home games when playing with one or fewer days' rest. The home team is 10-2-1 ATS in the last 13 matchups. Take Texas Tech. |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Illinois State +18 v. Drake | 60-95 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Illinois State +18 The Key: Everyone knows that Drake is not only 16-0 SU but also 13-1 ATS by now. And with those records comes a lot of respect from the oddsmakers and betting public with inflated lines moving forward. I cashed in Illinois State +18 yesterday as my free play, and I'm making them a premium play today. It was Drake's 2nd-largest favorite role of the entire season as they were only favored by more against Chicago State, one of the worst teams in the country. In fact they have only been more than a 10.5-point favorite only three times all season. Illinois State has only been beaten by this kind of margin by Ohio State and Loyola-Chicago this season. Their last 6 losses all came by 9 points or fewer. That includes their 76-78 (OT) loss to Drake yesterday in which they covered by 16 points. The Redbirds are hungry to avenge that defeat and will stay within this ridiculous number again today. Take Illinois State. |
|||||||
01-31-21 | UNLV v. Nevada -2 | Top | 60-89 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
7* UNLV/Nevada Mountain West *BAILOUT* on Nevada -2 The Key: I like the price we are getting on Nevada. The Wolf Pack are coming off 2 straight upset losses at Wyoming. But each of their last 5 losses have come by 7 points or fewer. That's how close they are to being on an 11-game winning streak. UNLV is starting to get some respect after going 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against a very soft schedule. They starting 1-6 this season prior to this run. Injury news favors the Wolf Pack as well. They will get Meeks (9.1 PPG, 5.9 RPG) back from a 3-game absence, and Cambridge Jr. (15.2 PPG) is probable. UNLV's best player in Hamilton (18.3 PPG) is questionable with an ankle injury suffered in a loss to Utah State last time out. He had just 2 points in 32 minutes of action against the Aggies, so it clearly affected his play. The Wolf Pack are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after playing a road game. The Rebels are 15-32-4 ATS in their last 51 road games against a team with a winning home record. The Wolf Pack are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as home favorites. Take Nevada. |
|||||||
01-31-21 | NC State v. Syracuse -5 | 73-76 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
6* NC State/Syracuse ACC *CA$H COW* on Syracuse -5 The Key: The Syracuse Orange have done their best work at home this season. They are 8-1 on their home floor and have won their last two home games over Miami and Virginia Tech by an average of 22 PPG. Now they face an NC State team that is 0-6-1 ATS in its last 7 road games. The Wolfpack have lost their last 4 road games by 14.3 PPG. They just had a season-ending injury in their last game to leading scorer Devon Daniels, who averages 16.5 PPG this season. The Orange are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games off an ACC loss by 10 points or more. Take Syracuse. |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Creighton -9.5 v. DePaul | 69-62 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
6* Saturday NCAAB *BLOWOUT* on Creighton -9.5 The Key: DePaul is neck-and-neck with Georgetown as the worst team in the Big East. The Blue Demons are 1-6 SU & 2-5 ATS in Big East play this year. They don't stand a chance of even keeping this game with Creighton competitive today. Creighton is 12-0 SU & 11-1 ATS in its last 12 matchups with DePaul with 11 wins by double-digits. Enough said. Take Creighton. |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Kansas v. Tennessee -2.5 | 61-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
6* Kansas/Tennessee ESPN *CA$H COW* on Tennessee -2.5 The Key: The Kansas Jayhawks are clearly down this season. They have lost 3 of their last 4 coming in with their only win coming 59-51 at home over TCU as a 14-point favorite. Now they take on a Tennessee team that is one of the best squads in the country. And I like the price we are getting on the Vols due to their recent struggles as well in failing to cover 6 of their last 7 as a massive favorite in most games. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups. Take Tennessee. |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Florida State v. Georgia Tech +4 | 65-76 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
6* Saturday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on Georgia Tech +4 The Key: Florida State has only played 2 road games all season. Now the Seminoles hit the road to face a Georgia Tech team that has won 5 straight at home. The 2 losses that the Yellow Jackets have had may be even more impressive during this stretch. Both came on the road to Virginia by 2 and Duke by 7. They were never not covering against Duke until the final seconds playing the foul game, and they nearly upset the Cavaliers, who are playing as well as nearly anyone right now. They can take down Florida State tonight. The Yellow Jackets are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games off 3 straight games committing 11 or fewer turnovers. The Yellow Jackets are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games after failing to cover the spread in their previous game. Take Georgia Tech. |

01-29-21 | Boise State -2.5 v. Colorado State | 85-77 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
6* Boise State/Colorado State MWC *BAILOUT* on Boise State -2.5 The Key: Boise State had won 12 in a row prior to getting upset at Colorado State on Wednesday. Now the Broncos want to avenge that defeat and should get the job done here. The Rams shot 55.8% as a team while the Broncos shot 38.2%. That disparity is very unlikely to happen again. The Broncos are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games off a loss. Boise State is 6-0-1 ATS in its last 7 games off an ATS loss. The Broncos are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games as favorites. Take Boise State. |

01-28-21 | Houston v. Tulane +17.5 | 83-60 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Tulane +17.5 The Key: Tulane was a +17.5 dog when it lost 50-71 at Houston on January 9th. The Green Wave shot just 28.8% from the field and 31.6% from 3-point range in that game while Houston shot 15-of-36 (41.7%) from 3-point range. Just a slight improvement will have them covering this 17.5-point spread in the rematch. This line should not be identical to the first matchup when you adjust for home-court advantage. But the price is getting steep to back Houston now that the Cougars are ranked #6 in the country and have won 6 straight coming in. Houston is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 road games off a combined score of 125 points or fewer. The Green Wave are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games when avenging a same-season loss. The Green Wave are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as home dogs. Take Tulane. |

01-27-21 | Boise State v. Colorado State +3 | 56-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
6* Wednesday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on Colorado State +3 The Key: Boise State has padded its 12-1 record by playing the single-easiest schedule in the entire Mountain West to this point. They haven't played any of the top teams in the Mountain West in Colorado State, Utah State or San Diego State yet. Now they must face a Colorado State team that has already beaten both Utah State and San Diego State. The Rams are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games overall with their only losses coming to those 2 teams. The Rams are 6-0 at home this season and winning by nearly 17 PPG. Take Colorado State. |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Maryland | Top | 61-55 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
7* Wisconsin/Maryland Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Wisconsin -2.5 The Key: I like the situation for the Wisconsin Badgers tonight. They are coming off an upset home loss to Ohio State. They also were upset by this same Maryland team as 10-point home favorites back on December 28th. Now they will avenge that defeat and they are only 2.5-point favorites this time around. That's a 7.5-point adjustment. Wisconsin hasn't lost 2 in a row all season. They are 3-0 SU & 2-0-1 ATS in their 3 games after a loss this year. The Badgers are 4-0-2 ATS in their last 6 games off a SU loss. The Terrapins are 1-5-2 ATS in their last 8 games as home underdogs. Maryland is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games off a SU win. Take Wisconsin. |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Virginia Tech v. Notre Dame +1 | 62-51 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
6* VA Tech/Notre Dame ACC *CA$H COW* on Notre Dame +1 The Key: Virginia Tech has only had to play 3 true road games this season. They are 1-2 with their only win against one of the worst teams in the ACC in Wake Forest by 4 points. Notre Dame faced a gauntlet and is now up against a more manageable schedule of late and starting to pick up some wins. The Fighting Irish beat Boston College 80-70 at home before topping Miami 73-59 on the road in its last 2 games coming in. The Hokies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. Take Notre Dame. |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Penn State v. Ohio State -7.5 | 79-83 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
6* Penn State/Ohio State Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Ohio State -7.5 The Key: Penn State had lost 5 straight before beating Rutgers and Northwestern both at home in their last 2 games. Now the Nittany Lions are starting to get some respect from the books when they shouldn't be. Ohio State is playing as well as anyone in the Big Ten right now in going 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games overall. If not for a big blown lead against Purdue in a 2-point loss, they've be 5-0. They upset Rutgers, Illinois and Wisconsin all on the road while also topping Northwestern by double-digits. Ohio State has won 15 of its last 18 home matchups with Penn State, including a 106-74 win last year as a similar 7-point favorite. The Buckeyes are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 home games off a win by 10 points or more. The Nittany Lions are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games off a SU win. The Buckeyes are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games. Take Ohio State. |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Georgia Tech +6.5 v. Duke | 68-75 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
6* Georgia Tech/Duke ACC *CA$H COW* on Georgia Tech +6.5 The Key: Georgia Tech is way underrated right now. The Yellow Jackets are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games overall which includes upsets wins over Clemson and North Carolina. Their only loss during this stretch came 62-64 as 8.5-point road dogs at Virginia. That's a Virginia team playing as well as anyone in the ACC right now. The Yellow Jackets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. And I like the price we are getting with them here against an overrated Duke team that is struggling. The Blue Devils have lost 3 straight and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Their 2 wins during this stretch came against Boston College by 1 and Wake Forest by 11. They lost by 7 at VA Tech, by 6 at Pitt and by 5 at Louisville. They should not be laying 6.5 points to the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 road games off a loss. Duke is 1-9 ATS in all lined games this season. The Blue Devils are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games. Take Georgia Tech. |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Missouri v. Auburn -2 | 82-88 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
6* Missouri/Auburn SEC *CA$H COW* on Auburn -2 The Key: Auburn is 3-2 SU & 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games overall. The 2 losses came to Alabama by 4 and Arkansas by 2. The 3 wins came over Georgia by 18, Kentucky b7 7 and South Carolina by 23. Their recent surge has had everything to do with getting star freshman PG Sharife Cooper eligible. He has played in each of the 5 games and has averaged 21.2 PPG and 9.0 APG for the Tigers. Coopers is a problem for anyone. Missouri is in a big letdown spot here off its upset win over Tennessee last time out. Bets against underdogs who are coming off a conference win as a dog of 6 points or more, that is also winning 80% or more of its games on the season are 37-16 ATS since 1997. Missouri is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games as a road dog. Take Auburn. |
|||||||
01-25-21 | Loyola-Chicago v. Bradley UNDER 131 | 65-58 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
6* Monday NCAAB *Total* Annihilator on Loyola-Chicago/Bradley UNDER 131 The Key: Two of the slowest teams in the country in Loyola-Chicago and Bradley square off again today after playing each other Sunday. Loyola-Chicago won that game 69-56 for 125 combined points. Loyola-Chicago shot great from the field making 28-of-50 (56%) of its attempts too. Bradley didn't shoot poorly making 23-of-51 (45.1%) from the floor. The UNDER is 3-1 in the last 4 matchups with an average combined score of 118.8 PPG. I like the price we are getting with this UNDER today. The UNDER is 5-0 in Ramblers last 5 games overall. The UNDER is 35-17 in Ramblers last 52 road games against a team with a winning home record. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
01-24-21 | San Diego State v. Air Force +16 | 91-59 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
6* SDSU/Air Force Mountain West *BAILOUT* on Air Force +16 The Key: The Air Force Falcons will be looking to avenge their 61-98 loss to San Diego State on Friday. They turned the ball over 27 times in that game. That's not going to happen again. As a result, the Aztecs attempted 26 more shots than they did. They hadn't lost any of their previous 5 matchups with the Aztecs by more than 15 points. And I think they cover this 16-point spread today with a much better effort in the rematch. The Aztecs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games off a win. Take Air Force. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Pittsburgh -2 v. Wake Forest | 75-76 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
6* ACC *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh -2 The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Pitt Panthers today as a short road favorite over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Pitt is 8-1 SU & 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games overall. That includes upset wins over Syracuse twice and Duke in its last 3 games coming in. The Panthers are primed to get back to the NCAA Tournament, and they know they can't afford a loss here to a team they should beat in Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games overall. They have been competitive in some games, but they basically have to win this game to cover. The Panthers are easily the superior team and should be bigger favorites. Take Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Texas A&M +8.5 v. Ole Miss | 50-61 | Loss | -111 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
6* SEC *CA$H COW* on Texas A&M +8.5 The Key: We are getting a great price on Texas A&M today over Ole Miss. Ole Miss is getting too much respect for its 64-46 win at Mississippi State last time out. And now the Rebels will have a hard time getting up for the Aggies after beating their big in-state rivals. Ole Miss had gone 1-5 SU & 1-5 ATS in its previous 6 games with upset home losses to Wichita State, LSU and Georgia. Texas A&M just upset Mississippi State on the road prior to losing to Missouri at home last time out. And now the Aggies have a full week to get ready for this game after playing last Saturday. Ole Miss only has 3 days to get ready to the Aggies. The Aggies are 9-1 ATS int heir last 10 road games off a loss by 10 points or more, including 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games off a conference loss by 10 points or more. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups. Take Texas A&M. |
|||||||
01-22-21 | San Diego State v. Air Force +15 | 98-61 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
6* SDSU/AF Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Air Force +15 The Key: Air Force has upset both Wyoming and Nevada this season and only lost to Boise State by 11, which is 12-1 this season and arguably the best team in the Mountain West. San Diego State is not playing well enough right now to be a 15-point road favorite over the Falcons. The Aztecs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games. They beat Nevada by 5 and 2 points. Then they lost to Utah State by 12 and 5 points. The Aztecs haven't won any of their last 5 matchups with Air Force by more than 15 points, and that includes 2 matchups last year when San Diego State had one of the best teams in the country. The underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 matchups. Take Air Force. |
|||||||
01-21-21 | Utah v. Washington State +2.5 | 71-56 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
6* Utah/Washington State Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Washington State +2.5 The Key: The Washington State Cougars finally get to play a home game tonight after playing their last 4 games on the road. And the Cougars are 8-1 at home this season with their lone loss coming to Arizona in OT. They face a Utah team that has gotten to play its last 4 games at home. But that hasn't helped the Utes as they are just 1-5 in their last 6 games overall. The Utes are 0-3 in true road games this year. The Utes are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 road games off a Pac-12 loss. They just lost at home to Cal by 9 as an 11.5-point favorite. The Cougars are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as home underdogs. Take Washington State. |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Auburn +6.5 v. Arkansas | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
6* Auburn/Arkansas SEC *CA$H COW* on Auburn +6.5 The Key: Auburn has been a different team since getting Sharife Cooper eligible. He is averaging 21.7 PPG and 9.7 APG in his 3 games this season. They were a 90-94 loss to a very good Alabama team, a 95-77 win over Georgia and a 66-59 win over Kentucky. The Tigers now take on a struggling Arkansas team that is just 1-4 SU in its last 5 games overall. That includes a 13-point home loss to Missouri, a 16-point road loss at LSU and a 31-point loss at Alabama. The Tigers didn't have Cooper in their 85-97 home loss to the Razorbacks as 6.5-point dogs in their first matchup on December 30. Now they are getting 6.5 points again and will be looking to avenge that defeat with Cooper on board this time around. The road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 matchups. Take Auburn. |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Providence +9.5 v. Creighton | Top | 74-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
7* Providence/Creighton Big East *HEAVY HITTER* on Providence +9.5 The Key: Providence wants to avenge a 65-67 loss to Creighton at home a couple weeks ago. The Friars were only 4-point dogs in that game, and now they are 9.5-point dogs here. The Friars haven't been getting blown out at all lately as they haven't lost any of their last 9 games by more than 10 points. And Creighton just was upset by Butler without Marcus Zegarowski, who averages 14.1 PPG and is questionable to play tonight. Zegarowski had 20 points against the Friars in their first matchup so he's clearly very important to the Bluejays' success. The Friars are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games when avenging a same-season loss. They are also 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games when avenging a loss overall. Creighton has only won 1 of its last 7 matchups with Providence by double-digits. Take Providence. |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Duke v. Pittsburgh +4 | 73-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
6* Duke/Pittsburgh ACC *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh +4 The Key: It's time for Jeff Capel to beat Mike Krzyzewski, his former head coach at Duke. Capel was a former assistant under him as well. This Duke team just isn't very good. COVID has interrupted their season as they have played the second-fewest games in the ACC. The Blue Devils are 5-3 SU & 1-7 ATS this season and coming off a loss at VA Tech. Their 5 wins have come against Coppin State, Bellarmine, Notre Dame, BC and Wake Forest. Those are 5 terrible teams. They have lost every time they've stepped up in class to Michigan State, Illinois and VT. And Pitt is playing some great basketball this season at 7-2 SU & 6-3 ATS, including 6-1 SU & 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall. That includes 2 upset wins over Syracuse and a 96-76 win over the Orange last time out. It also includes a 15-point win at Miami. Duke is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games after failing to cover 5 or 6 of its last 7 ATS. The Blue Devils are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games against a team with a winning home record. Take Pittsburgh. |

01-19-21 | Purdue v. Ohio State -4.5 | Top | 67-65 | Loss | -119 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
7* Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Ohio State -4.5 The Key: The Ohio State Buckeyes want to avenge their 60-67 loss at Purdue in their first matchup on December 16 this season. The Buckeyes shot just 37.9% from the field and 6-of-24 (25%) from 3-point range. They have been a different team since and are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now. The Buckeyes are 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games with a 79-68 win at Rutgers as a 3.5-point dog, an 81-71 home win over Northwestern as an 8.5-point favorite and an 87-81 win at Illinois as an 8-point dog. Purdue hasn't been great on the road with losses to Illinois by 8, Rutgers by 5 and Iowa by 15. The Boilermakers are 2-7-2 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record. The Buckeyes are 27-12 ATS in the last 39 matchups. Purdue is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games after going over the total in its last game. The Buckeyes are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games off an ATS win. Take Ohio State. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | The Citadel +13.5 v. NC-Greensboro | 73-87 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on The Citadel +13.5 The Key: The Citadel is 8-2 this season and better than this 13.5-point spread would indicate. They opened 8-0 this season before losing their last 2 games to 2 very good teams in Furman by 6 and VMI by 7. So they haven't lost by this kind of margin all season. UNC-Greensboro is 8-5 this season with upset losses to Winthrop, Coppin State, East Tennessee State and Wofford. They haven't shown enough to be favored this heavily. The Citadel is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 games off 2 straight games where they made 10 or more 3-pointers. They average 14 makes and shoot the 3 at a 43.1% clip. They will never be out of this game due to their great shooting. The Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring more than 90 points last game. The Spartans are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games. UNC-Greensboro is 6-19-2 ATS in its last 27 games off an ATS win. Take The Citadel. |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Memphis -1.5 v. Tulsa | 57-58 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Memphis -1.5 The Key: This is the perfect situation to back the Memphis Tigers Sunday. They are rested having last played on December 29th and champing at the bit to get back on the court. They want to avenge a 49-56 home loss to Tulsa on December 21st as 9.5-point home favorites. Now this line has been adjusted a full 8 points for home-court advantage with the Tigers only being 1.5-point road favorites in the rematch. It's too much and it's finally an opportunity to back the Tigers at the right price range after they failed to cover each of their last 6 games ATS. Tulsa is starting to get a lot of respect after going 6-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall. The Golden Hurricane finally had their winning streak come to an end with a 53-72 road loss at Wichita State last time out. Memphis is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games off 2 straight games where both teams scored 65 points or less. The Tigers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games when avenging a loss. Take Memphis. |
|||||||
01-17-21 | UCF +14 v. Houston | 58-75 | Loss | -108 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
6* UCF/Houston AAC *CA$H COW* on UCF +14 The Key: I like the price we're getting on UCF after going 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in its last 3 games overall. The Knights will be hungry to get a win here facing a ranked Houston team for a 2nd time this season. They will also be hungry to avenge their 54-63 loss as 7.5-point home dogs to the Cougars on December 26th. Now they have adjusted this line a full 6.5 points for home-court advantage which is too much with the Knights coming back as 14-point dogs in the rematch. The Knights are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 Sunday games. UCF is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 road games against a team that wins more than 80% of their games on the season. Take UCF. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Virginia v. Clemson +2 | Top | 85-50 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
7* ACC Game of the Month on Clemson +2 The Key: Clemson is one of the most underrated teams in the country. The Tigers are 9-1 SU & 7-3 ATS this season, including 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS at home. And now they are getting no respect again as home underdogs to Virginia. The Tigers have had 10 days to get ready for the Cavaliers after last playing on January 5th. Virginia only has 2 days to get ready for Clemson after beating Notre Dame on Wednesday. That's a big advantage for the Tigers. Clemson is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 home games off a conference win. Virginia is 0-8 ATS in its last 8 games off a home win by 10 points or more. The Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as home underdogs. Take Clemson. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Baylor v. Texas Tech +4.5 | 68-60 | Loss | -113 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
6* Baylor/Texas Tech Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Texas Tech +4.5 The Key: This feels like the game Baylor suffers its first loss of the season. Texas Tech is playing its best basketball of the season and just upset Texas on the road. The Red Raiders also beat Kansas State by 11 and Iowa State by 27. The Red Raiders are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups. Take Texas Tech. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Michigan v. Minnesota +6 | 57-75 | Win | 100 | 3 h 53 m | Show | |
6* Michigan/Minnesota Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Minnesota +6 The Key: The Minnesota Golden Gophers are hungry for a win following 2 straight road losses to arguably the 2 best teams in the Big Ten in Michigan and Iowa. Now they have had 5 days to get ready to avenge that loss to the Wolverines after last playing Iowa on Sunday. And they take on a Wolverines team primed for a letdown off a big home win over Wisconsin on Tuesday. They won't be that hungry to beat Minnesota again. The Golden Gophers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games, which includes upset wins over Saint Louis, Iowa and Michigan State as well as a blowout win by 17 over Ohio State. Take Minnesota. |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Cleveland State +9.5 v. Wright State | 66-64 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Horizon League *CA$H COW* on Cleveland State +9.5 The Key: Cleveland State has gone 8-0 SU & 7-1 ATS in Horizon League play this season. The oddsmakers have not caught up to how good the Vikings really are. And prior to this 8-0 run they only lost 61-67 at Ohio State as a 23.5-point dog. So the Vikings are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Wright State is grossly overrated right now. They are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall with outright losses to Oakland by 10 as 11-point favorites and Youngstown State by 2 as 11.5-point favorites. They are being asked to win this game by double-digits to beat us tonight. Take Cleveland State. |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Presbyterian +8 v. Campbell | 51-73 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Big South *CA$H COW* on Presbyterian +8 The Key: Presbyterian only lost 46-48 as 7.5-point road dogs to Campbell yesterday. Now they come back as 8-point dogs today in the rematch. Campbell is just 3-7 SU in its last 10 games overall with wins by 2, 6 and 9 points. So they have won just one of their last 10 games by this kind of margin, and that was a 9-point win over Gardner Webb. Presbyterian has lost just one of its last 6 games by more than 6 points. The Fighting Camels are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games off a win. Take Presbyterian. |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Pepperdine +26.5 v. Gonzaga | 70-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
6* Pepperdine/Gonzaga ESPN *CA$H COW* on Pepperdine +26.5 The Key: Pepperdine covered easily in both matchups with Gonzaga last year. They only lost 70-75 as a 21-point road underdog and 77-89 as a 15-point home underdog. And now the Waves are 26.5-point dogs in their first matchup of the 2020-21 season. Pepperdine took UCLA to overtime, only lost to a very good San Diego State team by 5, and beat California by 12. So the Waves have proven they can hang with some very good teams. They have one of the best players in the country in Colbey Ross, who averages 19.0 PPG and 7.2 APG. He is joined by Kessler Edwards (17.2 PPG, 5.9 RPG), and these 2 are capable of keeping the Waves competitive in this game for 40 minutes. The Waves are 28-12-1 ATS in their last 41 games against teams that win more than 60% of their games. Pepperdine is 19-7-1 ATS in its last 27 games as a road underdog. The Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record. The Waves are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams that outscore their opponents by 4 PPG or more. The Waves are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games off 2 or more consecutive losses. Take Pepperdine. |

01-13-21 | Boise State v. Wyoming +9.5 | Top | 90-70 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 60 m | Show |
7* Mountain West Game of the Month on Wyoming +9.5 The Key: Boise State is getting too much respect from the books due to its 10-game winning streak. The Broncos will now have to take on a hungry Wyoming team looking to avenge its loss in the first game in this matchup on Monday. Boise State won the first matchup by 23 points, but it was a 5-point game with under 8 minutes to play. And the Broncos have failed to cover in the last 2 times they've been in this situation. They beat San Jose State by 52 and came back and won by just 1 point in the rematch. They beat Air Force by 19 and came back and won by 11 in the rematch. And this game will be decided by 9 points or fewer to give the Cowboys the cover. The Cowboys are a sensational 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games revenging a loss in the same season. Take Wyoming. |

01-13-21 | La Salle +5 v. George Mason | 42-75 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
6* Wednesday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on La Salle +5 The Key: George Mason has no business being a favorite here. The Patriots are 4-5 this season with 3 of their wins coming by 1, 2 and 5 points. The only exception was an 84-70 win over Howard as a 20-point favorite. La Salle is 5-6 this season with 4 wins by double-digits and a 67-65 upset win at Dayton as an 11.5-point underdog. The Explorers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. La Salle is 14-1 ATS in its last 15 road games off 2 straight games with 10 or fewer steals. The Explorers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games off 2 straight games with 9 or fewer offensive rebounds. George Mason is 4-15 ATS in its last 19 home games after playing a game as an underdog. Take La Salle. |

01-12-21 | TCU +6.5 v. Oklahoma | Top | 46-82 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
7* Big 12 *HEAVY HITTER* on TCU +6.5 The Key: The TCU Horned Frogs will be looking to avenge a 78-82 home loss to the Oklahoma Sooners in their first matchup this year. This is a TCU team that has gone 5-2 SU in their last 7 games overall with their only losses coming to the 2 best teams in the Big 12 in Baylor and Kansas. The Horned Frogs won't have to face Oklahoma's 2nd-leading scorer in Brady Manek, who is out with COVID. He averages 13.4 PPG this year and had 14 points and 6 boards in their first matchup this season. The underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 matchups. TCU is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 road games. The Sooners are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team that wins more than 60% of their road games. Take TCU. |

01-12-21 | Duke -1 v. Virginia Tech | 67-74 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
6* Duke/VA Tech ACC *CA$H COW* on Duke -1 The Key: The Duke Blue Devils are starting to live up to their potential after 2 early losses to Michigan State and Illinois. They have won 3 straight coming in and now the situation favors them tonight against Virginia Tech. The Blue Devils have had 2 days to get ready for this game while the Hokies only have one day to get ready after playing Notre Dame on Sunday. The Hokies are 0-10 ATS in their last 10 games after 4 straight games where they committed 11 or fewer turnovers. The Blue Devils are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 road games after playing 2 consecutive home games. The Hokies are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as home underdogs. Take Duke. |

01-11-21 | Bradley +1.5 v. Northern Iowa | 75-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Bradley +1.5 The Key: Northern Iowa is getting too much respect from the books today as favorites against a Bradley team that has won the MVC Tournament each of the last 2 years and is very close to being 10-0 this season. All 4 losses the Braves have suffered were by 6 points or fewer. That includes their 6-point loss to Northern Iowa yesterday in which they fell apart down the stretch. Now the Braves will be looking to avenge that defeat and should get the job done today. The Panthers are just 3-7 SU & 2-7 ATS this season with 5 upset losses as favorites. They'll suffer another in this rematch tonight. Take Bradley. |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Bradley +2 v. Northern Iowa | 72-78 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
6* Bradley/Northern Iowa MVC *CA$H COW* on Bradley +2 The Key: Northern Iowa continues to get too much respect from the books as 2-point favorites here against a Bradley team that has won the MVC Tournament each of the last 2 years and is great again this season. The Panthers are just 2-7 SU & 1-7 ATS this year with their 2 wins coming against St. Ambrose and Missouri State. They already have 5 upset losses as favorites this year. This team just isn't any good without the best player in the MVC in AJ Green, who has missed the last 6 games and is out for the season. Bradley is 6-3 this year with its only losses coming at Xavier by 1, to South Dakota State by 4 and at Missouri by 1. Those are 3 great teams as they were 10-point dogs to Xavier, 11-point dogs to Missouri and a pick' em against SDSU. The Panthers are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Take Bradley. |

01-09-21 | Oregon -2 v. Utah | 79-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
6* Oregon/Utah Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Oregon -2 The Key: The Oregon Ducks had won 8 straight before losing at Colorado last time out. They always lost at Colorado, and the home team owns that series. But they have had not problem beating Utah home or away in recent years. The Ducks are 14-1 SU in the last 15 matchups. And this is a Utah team that has lost 2 in a row and is coming off an 18-point loss to USC. The Ducks are 28-12 ATS in thier last 40 games against a team with a winning record. The Utes are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as home underdogs. Take Oregon. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | USC -1.5 v. Arizona State | 73-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
6* USC/Arizona State Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on USC -1.5 The Key: USC is a legit Pac-12 title contender. They have proven that with an 18-point home win over Utah and a 14-point road win at Arizona in their last 2 games. And now they take on the struggling Arizona State Sun Devils who are 1-3 SU in their last 4 games overall with their only win coming just before the buzzer, 71-70 at Grand Canyon as an 8-point favorite. They were upset 68-80 by San Diego State, upset 63-76 by UTEP as a 13-point home favorite and lost 75-81 to UCLA in their other 3 games. The Trojans are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Sun Devils are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games. Take USC. |

6* Sun Belt *CA$H COW* on Arkansas-Little Rock -1.5 The Key: Arkansas-Little Rock will be looking to avenge a 64-66 loss at Louisiana-Lafayette Friday night. The Trojans will get their payback and win the rematch here Saturday night. Take Arkansas-Little Rock. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Oklahoma v. Kansas -6.5 | Top | 59-63 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 42 m | Show |
7* Big 12 Game of the Month on Kansas -6.5 The Key: Kansas had its wake up call with a 25-point home loss to Texas two games back, its worst home loss in program history. The Jayhawks bounced back with a 93-64 win at TCU as a 6-point favorite. And now they are short 6.5-point home favorites against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks have won 9 of their last 10 games overall, so that performance against Texas was an aberration. Oklahoma just lost by 15 at Baylor and hasn't fared well at Kansas. The Jayhawks are 16-0 SU in their last 16 home matchups with Oklahoma dating back to 1997. Oklahoma is 4-15 ATS in its last 19 road games off a loss by 10 points or more. The Sooners are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games against good offensive teams that score 77 PPG or more. Take Kansas. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | UNLV +7.5 v. Colorado State | 80-83 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
6* Mountain West *CA$H COW* on UNLV +7.5 The Key: UNLV will be looking to avenge a 71-74 loss at Colorado State on Thursday night. The Revels blew a 13-point lead with under 10 minutes to go in that game, and a 7-point lead with under 3 minutes. They will come back hungry here for a win and should cover this 7.5-point spread. The Rebels are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Take UNLV. |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Air Force +18.5 v. Boise State | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Air Force +18.5 The Key: You're paying a tax on Boise State because they are on an 8-game winning streak right now. The Broncos just had a situation like this home-and-home one they are facing with Air Force. They beat San Jose State by 52 then came back 2 days later and only beat SJSU by one point. And after beating Air Force 78-59 by 19 points 2 days ago, they won't beat the Falcons by 19-plus again here. I love the price we are getting on the Falcons in this situation. Boise State is 1-12 ATS in its last 13 games following 4 straight games where they scored 75 points or more. Take Air Force. |
|||||||
01-07-21 | Portland +17.5 v. San Francisco | 64-88 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Portland +17.5 The Key: San Francisco just played Gonzaga and lost 62-85. I can't see the Dons being nearly as hungry to take on Portland tonight as they were Gonzaga. That lack of intensity will make it difficult for the Dons to cover this massive 17.5-point spread. Point spread wins have been hard to come by for the Dons in general since their early upset of Virginia that has had them overrated. San Francisco is now 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games overall. Portland is 6-3 this season with its only loss by more than this spread coming on the road against Oregon. They upset Oregon State 87-86 as 16.5-point road dogs. Portland is 3-0 ATS in its last 3 matchups with San Francisco with a 16-point loss, a 5-point loss in OT and an 11-point outright win as a 10.5-point dog. The Dons are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite. San Francisco is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 home games after allowing 80 points or more last game. Take Portland. |
|||||||
01-07-21 | UNLV +9.5 v. Colorado State | 71-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
6* Mountain West *CA$H COW* on UNLV +9.5 The Key: The UNLV Rebels played a tough early schedule which is a big reason for their 1-4 start. They have losses to UNC, Alabama and Davidson as well as an upset win over Kansas State. They are now battle tested and ready to enter Mountain West play. They come in 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall and getting no respect here as 9.5-point dogs to Colorado State. The Rams are getting too much respect after upsetting San Diego State. They came back and lost by 13 in the rematch to SDSU. They also lost by 20 to St. Mary's earlier this year. UNLV is 4-1 SU in its last 5 matchups with Colorado State, including an 80-56 win in their final matchup last year. The Rebels are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Take UNLV. |
|||||||
01-06-21 | Virginia Tech v. Louisville -4 | Top | 71-73 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
7* ACC Game of the Week on Louisville -4 The Key: Virginia Tech is overrated due to its 8-1 record this season. This will actually be the Hokies' first true road game this season, and it comes against one of the best teams in the ACC in Louisville. The Cardinals are 7-1 this season with their only loss coming on the road at Wisconsin. They will make easy work of the Hokies, which has been a yearly tradition for them. Louisville has won 16 straight matchups with Virginia Tech, most recently a 68-52 home win in March of 2020. Virginia Tech hasn't beaten Louisville since 1991. The Hokies are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Hokies are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as underdogs. Take Louisville. |
|||||||
01-05-21 | Kansas -5.5 v. TCU | Top | 93-64 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
7* Kansas/TCU Big 12 *BAILOUT* on Kansas -5.5 The Key: The Kansas Jayhawks are coming off their worst home loss in program history to Texas. Their only other loss this season came to top-ranked Gonzaga. They will be fired up to bounce back here against an overrated TCU team that has won 5 straight against suspect competition coming in. The Jayhawks have won 16 of their last 17 matchups with the Horned Frogs. The Jayhawks are 12-1 ATS in their last 13 road games against a team with a winning record. Kansas is 9-0 ATS in its last 9 games off a loss by 20 points or more. Take Kansas. |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Maryland +5 v. Indiana | Top | 55-63 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
7* Maryland/Indiana Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Maryland +5 The Key: The Indiana Hoosiers are playing well enough since they opened Big Ten play to warrant being 5-point favorites over Maryland in this matchup. The Hoosiers are 1-2 SU & 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games overall with their lone win coming in overtime over Penn State 87-85 as 6.5-point favorites. They were upset at home by Northwestern 67-74 as 9-point favorites and also failed to cover as 6.5-point underdogs at Illinois. Maryland is 2-1 ATS in its last 3 games. The Terrapins only lost by 3 as 6-point dogs at Purdue, upset Wisconsin 70-64 as 10-point dogs and lost to undefeated Michigan 73-84. Maryland is 3-0 SU & 2-1 ATS in its last 3 matchups with Indiana. Take Maryland. |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Monmouth +3 v. Siena | 62-76 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Monmouth +3 The Key: The situation is a good one for Monmouth. The Hawks want to avenge their 77-78 loss at Siena as 2.5-point dogs yesterday. I expect them to win this game outright. Siena didn't get to play a single game all season until yesterday. I can't imagine their cardio will be very good playing for a 2nd straight day now. The Hawks are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Hawks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games off a SU loss. The road team is 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 matchups. Take Monmouth. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Northwestern +9 v. Michigan | 66-85 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
6* Northwestern/Michigan Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Northwestern +9 The Key: This is the ultimate time to sell high on the Michigan Wolverines. They are 8-0 this season and with that perfect record comes expectations that are hard to live up to. They are also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. And they are coming off an 84-73 win at Maryland. But Northwestern is no pushover and will give them a run for their money. The Wildcats are 6-2 SU & 5-2 ATS in their 8 games this year with their only losses to Pitt by 1 and Iowa by 15. They are coming off that lost to a Top 10 Iowa team. So there's some line value here with them off that defeat. They also upset Michigan State, Indiana and Ohio State prior to that Iowa game so it was asking a lot of them to give their best effort. They will have a bounce back performance here and look for the Wolverines to relax a little. Take Northwestern. |
|||||||
01-02-21 | San Francisco +19 v. Gonzaga | 62-85 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
6* San Francisco/Gonzaga WCC *CA$H COW* on San Francisco +19 The Key: San Francisco has already proven it can play with the big boys with upset wins over Virginia and Nevada, as well as competitive efforts against 2 Pac-12 opponents in California and Oregon. And now they face a Gonzaga team that they gave fits last year. San Francisco faced Gonzaga 3 times last year and played them tough in all 3 matchups. They lost by 4, 4 and 17 points in the 3 matchups. And even in that 17-point loss they led by 9 at halftime before getting blown out after intermission. I love the price we are getting on the Dons today. The Bulldogs are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games off an ATS win. Take San Francisco. |
|||||||
01-02-21 | Marshall -1 v. Louisiana Tech | 80-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
6* Marshall/LA Tech C-USA *CA$H COW* on Marshall -1 The Key: Marshall will avenge its 68-75 loss at Louisiana Tech yesterday. The Thundering Herd are the deeper team here as they returned 9 of their top 10 scorers from last year. So they are better equipped than most teams to handle these back-to-back situations that COVID-19 has brought us this college hoops season. They go deep into their bench and push the tempo for 40 minutes, so this is going to be a harder opponent to face than most for other teams in these situations. The Thundering Herd are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games off an ATS loss. The Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as home dogs. The Thundering Herd are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after 2 straight games with 9 or fewer offensive rebounds. Take Marshall. |
|||||||
01-02-21 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma -1.5 | 71-75 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
6* WVU/Oklahoma Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Oklahoma -1.5 The Key: The Oklahoma Sooners proved they could play with the best in the Big 12 when they only lost 67-69 to Texas Tech. Now they should beat a West Virginia team that lost to Kansas by 14 and only beat Iowa State by 5 as a 15-point favorite. And it's a West Virginia team that just lost one of its best players in Ocar Tshiebwe (11.2 PPG, 9.3 RPG), who is sitting out the rest of the season for personal reasons. The Sooners won both matchups with the Mountaineers last year 69-59 at home and 73-62 on the road. West Virginia is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games after playing a home game. The Mountaineers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. Take Oklahoma. |

01-01-21 | Marshall +2 v. Louisiana Tech | 68-75 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
6* Marshall/LA Tech Conference USA *CA$H COW* on Marshall +2 The Key: Marshall returned almost everyone from last year, including 9 of their top 10 scorers. Their experience and chemistry has shown early as they have opened 6-1 SU & 4-2-1 ATS. And now they will take down LA Tech, which has feasted on an easy schedule and was blown out by 31 points by LSU in their one game against a pretty good team. Marshall has won its last 2 matchups with LA Tech outright as dogs, and it will be a 3rd straight here as the Thundering Herd are dogs again in their first matchup for 2020-21. The Thundering Herd are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 road games off a non-conference game. The Bulldogs are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against good offensive teams that score 77 PPG or more. Take Marshall. |
|||||||
12-31-20 | Utah v. UCLA -7.5 | 70-72 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
6* Utah/UCLA Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on UCLA -7.5 The Key: The UCLA Bruins brought back all 5 starters this year and are a clear contender in the Pac-12. Their 2 losses came to Ohio State and San Diego State both on the road. They are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS at home this year and winning by 20.5 PPG. Now they host a Utah team that is 0-1 on the road with a 64-82 loss at BYU. Their 4 home wins all came against weak competition. This will be their toughest game yet and a big step up in class. UCLA beat Utah 73-57 at home and 69-58 on the road in their 2 matchups last year. The Utes are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 road games. The Bruins are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. The home team is 11-3 ATS in the last 14 matchups. Take UCLA. |
|||||||
12-30-20 | Penn State +5.5 v. Indiana | 85-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
6* Penn State/Indiana Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Penn State +5.5 The Key: We'll get a hungry PennState squad today off 2 straight losses to open conference season against 2 of the best teams in the Big Ten in Michigan and Illinois. They have been competitive in every game this season outside of that loss to the Fighting Illini. And now this is a step down in competition for them against an Indiana team that is just 5-4 this season. The Hoosiers were upset at home by Indiana and failed to cover in a loss at Illinois in their last 2 games as well, so they aren't playing very good basketball. They also have a 22-point loss to Texas and a loss at Florida State this season. This line should be closer to a pick 'em. The Nittany Lions are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games after scoring 80 points or more last game. Indiana is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 home games after failing to cover 2 of its last 3 ATS coming in. The Nittany Lions are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games as road underdogs. Take Penn State. |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Central Arkansas +34 v. Baylor | 56-93 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Central Arkansas +34 The Key: Central Arkansas' 1-6 record has them undervalued heading into this game with Baylor. But they have played a tougher schedule than Baylor has, and they have actually been very competitive. They didn't lose once by more than 25 points in road losses to Memphis (68-85), Arkansas-Little Rock (83-86), Saint Louis (65-88), Arkansas (75-100), Ole Miss (54-68) and Mississippi State (65-81). And they won't lose by 34-plus points here against a fat and happy Baylor squad that is 6-0 and ranked #2 in the country. The Bears have a game against Alcorn State on deck tomorrow, so they won't be looking to play their starters big minutes. That should help keep Central Arkansas within the number today. Central Arkansas is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 games off a home game. Baylor is 10-22 ATS in its last 32 games off a cover as a double-digit favorites. Bets against home favorites of 10 or more points who have made at least 47% of their shots in 3 straight games while also allowing a shooting percentage of 33% or less in their last game are 26-5 ATS over the last 5 years. Take Central Arkansas. |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Colorado +3 v. Arizona | 74-88 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
6* Colorado/Arizona Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Colorado +3 The Key: The Colorado Buffaloes are a contender to win the Pac-12 this year. They are 6-1 this season with their only loss coming on the road to Tennessee, a Top 5 team. They are 6-0 SU & 5-1 ATS in all other games with 6 wins by double-digits. They are outscoring the opposition by 20.5 PPG on the year. Arizona is also 6-1 SU, but just 2-5 ATS as the Wildcats have struggled to put away teams. They had to break in 5 new starters this year and are a work in progress. They won by 19 as a 30-point favorite over Grambling, by 3 as a 13-point favorite over Eastern Washington, by 8 as a 15.5-point favorite over UTEP and by 6 as a 15-point favorite over Montana. They are barely squeaking by, and they lost to the best opponent they played in Stanford. Now the wrong team is favored in this matchup. Arizona is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 games when playing with 5 or 6 days rest. Take Colorado. |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Oakland v. Detroit -2.5 | 83-80 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Detroit -2.5 The Key: I love the situation for Detroit today. They are coming off a 75-77 (OT) home loss as 3.5-point favorites over Oakland yesterday. Now they get to play the Golden Grizzlies in the 2nd of a back-to-back and will be hungry to avenge that defeat. Plus the line is better today with Detroit only a 2.5-point favorite. This is a 1-9 Oakland team who got their first victory of the season yesterday. They will exhale and probably won't even show up today. I'll gladly back the hungrier team here in the Titans. This is a Detroit team that only lost by 7 to Michigan State as a 27.5-point dog and by 8 to Notre Dame as a 12-point dog earlier this season to show what they are capable of. I think we get the best version of the Titans Sunday. Take Detroit. |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Maryland +6 v. Purdue | 70-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 29 m | Show | |
6* Maryland/Purdue Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Maryland +6 The Key: The Maryland Terrapins opened the season with 4 straight wins by 18 points or more. Then they ran into a couple of juggernauts and lost to both Clemson and Rutgers before rebounding with a win over La Salle. Now they want to taste their first Big Ten victory and I like the price we are getting with them here as 6-point dogs against Purdue. This clearly is a down Purdue team that already has 3 losses on the season to Clemson, Miami and Iowa with two of those by double-digits. They faced an injury-plagued Miami team and still lost. They took advantage of an injured Ohio State team and won. And they beat a bad Notre Dame team. They really haven't proven anything yet and were just put in their place with a 15-point loss to Iowa last time out. And they should not be this big of a favorite here. Purdue has beaten Maryland by more than 5 points just once in the last 9 matchups. That's an 8-1 angle backing the Terrapins today. The Terrapins are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after losing 4 of their last 5 ATS coming in. Take Maryland. |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Rutgers v. Ohio State -2.5 | 68-80 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
6* Rutgers/Ohio State Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Ohio State -2.5 The Key: Ohio State suffered its first loss of the season against Purdue, but they were without E.J. Liddell for that game. He returned against UCLA and helped lead them to a 77-70 win. And now the Buckeyes are hungry to taste their first Big Ten win today and end Rutgers' perfect 6-0 start to the season. The Scarlet Knights will be without Clifford Omoruyi after he suffered an injury against Illinois last time out. The Buckeyes have won 8 of their last 10 matchups with Rutgers and are 5-0 in 5 home matchups during this span. The Buckeyes are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 home games, including 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as home favorites. Take Ohio State. |

12-23-20 | Idaho State +9.5 v. Northern Colorado | 71-56 | Win | 100 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Idaho State +9.5 The Key: I love the situation for Idaho State today. They are coming off a 64-69 loss to Northern Colorado as 10-point dogs yesterday. And now they get to face them again today in this back-to-back situation. And they are 9.5-point dogs in the rematch, so oddsmakers have barely adjusted for the revenge factor and the fact that Idaho State only lost by 5 yesterday. This is a great price on them. Idaho State is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 road games with a total of 130 to 139.5. The Bears are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as home favorites. Take Idaho State. |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Bradley +11 v. Missouri | 53-54 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Bradley +11 The Key: The price is right to back the Bradley Braves today as double-digit underdogs to the Missouri Tigers. Bradley won the MVC in two consecutive seasons and is loaded again this season. They have opened 6-2 with their only losses coming to 2 very good teams in Xavier (50-51) and South Dakota State (84-88) by a combined 5 points. They should not be catching 11 points from Missouri. The Tigers are getting too much respect from oddsmakers after a 5-0 start. They are coming off a huge 81-78 win over rival Illinois in a game they play every year. They won't be nearly as hungry to face Bradley as they were Illinois. Plus this is a sandwich spot with a game against Top 10 Tennessee on deck in their SEC opener. The Braves are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 games off an ATS loss. Take Bradley. |

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Arkansas-Little Rock +1 The Key: Arkansas State brought back all 5 starters this year and has opened 4-2 with its only losses coming to Greensboro and Winthrop. They also upset Duquesne. They have played a tough schedule and are now battle-tested heading into this game with Missouri State. The Bears didn't get to play their first game of the season until December 16th and they struggled with a 73-64 win over William Jewell. Then they beat Northwestern State 94-67 on Saturday. Now they will be playing their 3rd game in 6 days here and just don't have much chemistry due to their lack of playing time. Arkansas-Little Rock is rested playing just its 2nd game in 15 days here. And they will be the fresher, sharper team tonight. Little Rock pulled the 67-66 upset as 12.5-point dogs over Missouri State last year. And while this will be considered an upset again, I don't agree as Little Rock should be the favorite given having all 5 starters back and the favorable schedule spot. The Trojans are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing 60 points or less. Take Arkansas-Little Rock. |

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on St. John's -4 The Key: I love the situation for the St. John's Red Storm tonight. They just played Georgetown on December 13th exactly one week ago today. They blew a 7-point lead in the final 3 minutes of regulation and lost 94-97 in overtime. It's revenge time now for the Red Storm. The price is right to back them off 3 straight losses against a brutal schedule of Seton Hall, Georgetown and Creighton. They are desperate for their first Big East win here and we'll get a big effort from them because of it. The Red Storm are 40-23 ATS in their last 63 games off 3 or more consecutive ATS losses. The Hoyas are 1-7 ATS in their lsat 8 games off a win. The Hoyas are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Take St. John's. |

12-19-20 | St. Peter's +1 v. Monmouth | 78-76 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on St. Peter's +1 The Key: I love the situation for St. Peter's today. They are coming off a 76-78 loss to Monmouth yesterday in a game that was lined at a pick 'em. Now they are 1-point dogs to Monmouth in the rematch. St. Peter's will be the hungrier team here today and will avenge that defeat with an outright win. And I don't even think it will be close. St. Peter's could easily be 6-1 this year as their 2 losses have come to St. John's and Monmouth by a combined 3 points. St. Peter's is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games when revenging a road loss. The Peacocks are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as road underdogs. The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 matchups. Take St. Peter's. |

6* Friday NCAAB *BLOWOUT* on St. Peter's -1 The Key: St. Peter's is a good team. They are 4-2 this year with one of their losses coming by a single point to St. John's as an 11-point dog. Their only blowout loss came to a very good Maryland team on the road. They have 3 wins by double-digits. The key here is that they are sharp right now having played 6 games. The same cannot be said for Monmouth, which finally got to play its first game of the season on Tuesday, December 15th. They lost that game 88-96 to Hofstra as a 1.5-point dog. I'll gladly side with the sharper St. Peter's team, which went 2-0 SU & 2-0 ATS against Monmouth last year, outscoring them by a total of 15 points in their 2 wins. The Peacocks are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. St. Peter's is 14-6 ATS in its last 20 road games. Take St. Peter's. |

12-18-20 | North Dakota +7.5 v. Southern Illinois | 50-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 58 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on North Dakota +7.5 The Key: I like the situation for North Dakota tonight. This is a crazy college basketball season, and as a result there are a lot of back-to-backs. North Dakota just lost to Southern Illinois last night. Now they will be the more hungry team here than the Salukis. And they are exactly the same 7.5-point dogs that they were last night. North Dakota has 3 losses by single-digits this year, including a 9-point loss at Minnesota. They have been competitive in every game outside of that game against Southern Illinois last night, and they will look to make amends here. The Fighting Hawks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games off an ATS loss. North Dakota is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 games after playing 4 consecutive games as a dog. Take North Dakota. |

12-17-20 | Nebraska-Omaha v. Wyoming -10.5 | 78-82 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Wyoming -10.5 The Key: Jeff Linder won 21-plus games in his final 3 seasons at Northern Colorado before getting hired by Wyoming in the offseason. Now he's already doing big things for the Cowboys, leading them to a 5-1 start this year with their only loss coming by 2 points. That includes an upset win at Oregon State as a 9-point dog. And 3 of their 5 wins have come by double-digits. Now they should crush a Nebraska-Omaha team in a terrible spot. Omaha just had to play at Colorado last night and lost 49-91. Now they will have to make the bus trip to Wyoming and play the 2nd of a back-to-back. Omaha is 2-6 this season with its 2 wins coming by a combined 3 points over Middle Tennessee (60-59) and SIU-Edwardsville (65-63). 5 of their 6 losses have come by 12 points or more. Omaha is getting outscored by 18.8 PPG on the season. Wyoming is outscoring opponents by 12.5 PPG on the year, so this is the perfect storm given the awful situation for Omaha. The Mavericks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Mavericks are 3-16 ATS in their last 19 against a team with a winning record. The Cowboys are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Take Wyoming. |

12-16-20 | Northeastern v. Syracuse -17.5 | Top | 56-62 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 42 m | Show |
7* Northeastern/Syracuse NCAAB *HEAVY HITTER* on Syracuse -17.5 The Key: Syracuse is 4-1 this year with 3 wins by 30 or more points. Their only loss came to Rutgers, which just beat Maryland by 14 on the road and is one of the better teams in the country. They rebounded with one of the best performances of any team this season with a 101-63 win over Boston College. And now they should make easy work of Northeastern. The Huskies brought back just 2 players who averaged more than 3.5 PPG last season. They are inexperienced and have just 2 games under their belts, a home-and-home with UMass. Syracuse is 7-0 all-time against Northeastern, including 3-0 ATS in the last 3 matchups with a 72-49 win in their most recent showdown in 2018. The Huskies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games off a win. The Huskies are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games off an ATS win. Take Syracuse. |

12-15-20 | Furman +6.5 v. Alabama | Top | 80-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
7* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Furman +6.5 The Key: Furman is 5-1 this year and outscoring opponents by 24.1 PPG. They have picked up right where they left off. They won 23 games in Bob Richey’s first season, then proceeded to tie a school record with 25 wins each fo the last 2 seasons. They returned 4 starters and 3 double-digit scorers from last year’s team that went 25-7. And their only loss this season came on the road to a solid Cincinnati team by a final of 73-78. Alabama is just 3-2 with an 18-point loss to Stanford and an 8-point loss to Stanford. I think the Crimson Tide are getting too much respect from the books here against a Furman team that is very capable of winning this one outright. Plus the Crimson Tide are coming off that huge rivalry game against Clemson and have an even bigger game on deck this weekend against No. 6 Houston. This is a sandwich spot for the Crimson Tide. Alabama is 3-8-1 ATS in its last 12 home games. Furman is 21-10 ATS in its last 31 road games. The Paladins are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games off a home win where they scored 85 or more points. Take Furman. |

12-13-20 | St. John's +100 v. Georgetown | 94-97 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
6* St. John's/Georgetown Big East *CA$H COW* on St. John's ML +100 The Key: St. John's has 4 starters back for head coach Mike Anderson this year. The Red Storm are 5-2 this year with their only losses both coming on the road to BYU and Seton Hall by single-digits. This is a very sneaky team in the Big East. Georgetown is one of the worst teams in the conference. They are 2-3 this year and only brought back one starter and lost all of their best players from last year. Their 2 wins have come against Maryland-Baltimore County and Coppin State. They lost to Navy, WVU and Villanova. And they are coming off a loss to 13-point loss to Villanova on Friday in which they blew a double-digit lead and were outscored 43-17 in the 2nd half. I doubt they'll be mentally recovered 2 days later here. And the Hoyas are a thin team so playing 2 games in 3 days is a tough situation for them. The depth of St. John's is a huge advantage, and they will run Georgetown to death tonight. The Red Storm average 80.3 PPG on 46.7% shooting as they have been one of the best offensive teams in the country. The Hoyas are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games off 2 straight games with 9 or fewer offensive rebounds. Take St. John's. |

12-13-20 | Ohio v. Marshall -3 | 67-81 | Win | 100 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Marshall -3 The Key: The Marshall Thundering Herd had 10 players average at least 10 minutes per game last season. They had zero seniors on the roster last year. Nine of those are back as are 5 returning starters, so this team should be one of the most improved in the nation. The guard guy of Taeyion Kinsey and Jarrod West combined for 30.6 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 8.3 APG and 3.1 SPG last year. Marshall went 7-2 ATS in its final 9 games last year while scoring at least 80 points in each of its final four games in head coach Dan D’Antoni’s up-tempo system. They are off to a good start this year at 3-0 with a 14-point win over Arkansas State as a 14-point favorite, a 16-point win at Wright State as a 1-point favorite and a 12-point win at Charleston as a 7-point favorite. Ohio is 4-1 and off to a good start as well, but lost to the only good team they faced in Illinois. Their 4 wins came against Chicago State. North Carolina A&T, Cleveland State and Purdue NW. Ohio is 3-19 ATS in its last 22 road games off 3 straight games where they made 47% of their shots or better. Marshall is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 games off a win by 10 points or more. The situation favors the Thundering Herd as they will be playing just their 2nd game in 10 days. Ohio will be playing its 3rd game in 8 days. The Thundering Herd are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games when playing only their 2nd game in 8 days. Take Marshall. |

6* Dayton/Mississippi State NCAAB *CA$H COW* on Mississippi State +4 The Key: The Mississippi State Bulldogs have bounced back from losses to Clemson and Liberty to open the season by going 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall with wins by 17, 6 and 23 points. The Bulldogs are now 4-point dogs to a rebuilding Dayton team that is 2-1 SU but 0-3 ATS. The Flyers lost Obi Toppin to the NBA and have not been impressive at all. They were upset by SMU and only beat Eastern Illinois by 3 as 14-point favorites and Northern Kentucky by 6 as 11.5-point favorites. The Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games off 2 consecutive home wins. Mississippi State is 11-1 ATS in its last 12 games against good free throw shooting teams that make 72% or better. Take Mississippi State. |
