15* CS-SACRAMENTO/MONTANA CBB SHARP WINNER on CS Sacramento vs Montana over 121½ -126

My money is on the OVER 121.5 in Monday's college hoops action between Sacramento State and Montana. Neither offense looks all that great on paper, but Montana comes in having scored 77 or more in 3 of their last 4 and I just don't see Sacramento State being able to slow them down enough to keep it below the mark. BET THE OVER 121.5! 

15* UMASS/AKRON CBB SHARP WINNER on Massachusetts +10 -108

My money is on UMass to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog against the Zips. Minutemen are just 1-6 in their last 7, but all 6 losses during this poor stretch have been against teams ranked in the Top 100. Akron is 9-3, but have no business here laying this big a number. UMass has thrived in this spot going 48-29 ATS last 77 as a road dog of 6.5 to 12 points. BET THE MINUTEMEN +10! 

15* HORNETS/GRIZZLIES NBA SHARP WINNER on Grizzlies -3 -106

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Hornets. This is just too good a price to pass up with Memphis against a bad Charlotte team, which comes in having lost 4 straight. Grizzlies offense is rolling and Hornets come in having shot 43% or worse from the field in 8 of their last 11 games. BET MEMPHIS -3!

20* THUNDER/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Thunder +4 -110

My money is on the Thunder to cash in a cover as a small road dog against the Raptors. Great spot here to fade Toronto, who is playing on no rest after yesterday's big upset win at Boston and are still without Pascal Siakam. OKC is also playing well coming in, as they are 5-1 in their last 6 and 10-4 over their last 14. BET THE THUNDER +4! 

15* JAZZ/CLIPPERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Clippers -8 -110

My money is on the Clippers to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Jazz. Utah has won 6 of 7, but all of those wins have come against bad teams. The Jazz simply got no business being on the same floor as the Clippers, especially in LA, where the Clippers are 14-2 and winning by 12.3 ppg. BET LOS ANGELES -8! 

15* MAVS/WARRIORS NBA SHARP WINNER on Mavs -8 -110

My money is on the Mavericks to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Warriors. Dallas is coming off an unfortunate non-cover against the Spurs, as they scored just 2 points over the final 6 minutes in a 4 point win. Doncic did make his return in that game and he was right back to his MVP form. Warriors have won 4 straight, but are due to lay an egg here and are likely going to be out of gas playing on no rest and their 3rd game in 4 nights. BET THE MAVS -8! 

20* RAPTORS/CELTICS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics -5½ -110

My money is on the Celtics to cash in a win and cover at home against the Raptors. These two teams just played in Toronto on Christmas Day and Boston won that matchup by 16. Celtics did as they pleased offensively, shooting 50% from the field and I expect more of the same in the rematch. Toronto just doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep pace with Siakam sidelined. BET THE CELTICS -5.5! 

15* SUNS/WARRIORS NBA SHARP WINNER on Suns -3 +102

My money is on the Suns to cash in a win and cover at Golden State in Friday's NBA action. Golden State pulled off a massive upset at home against the Rockets on Christmas Day and I think they put every ounce of energy they had into that game. I just don't think we see anything close to that kind of effort here against Phoenix and that's why a Suns team that has lost 7 straight is laying points on the road. BET PHOENIX -3! 

20* BUCKS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks +12 -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in a cover as a double-digit home dog against the Bucks in Friday's NBA action. The books know the public will be itching to back Milwaukee off their ugly loss to the 76ers on Christmas Day and have definitely inflated the number here to where the value is with the Hawks. Atlanta has been very profitable in this spot going 30-16 ATS last 46 as a dog of 10 or more. BET THE HAWKS +12! 

15* SPURS/MAVS NBA SHARP WINNER on Spurs +6 -100

My money is on the Spurs to cash in a cover here as a 6-point road dog against the Mavs in Thursday's NBA action. Dallas is expected to get back Doncic, but I believe it has them laying a few more than they should be against a San Antonio team that has been playing much better of late. Mavs only won by 7 in the first meeting this season at Dallas and they did so shooting 50% from the field. Good chance they don't shoot that good the second time around. BET THE SPURS +6!

20* KNICKS/NETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks vs Nets over 221 -109

My money is on the OVER 221 in Thursday's NBA action that has the Nets hosting the Knicks. I just think the books have completely missed the mark here. New York is playing little to no defense at the moment, as they have allowed 120 or more points in 4 straight. They keep that trend alive and we basically just need them to score 100 to cash a winner. Shouldn't be too tough as the Nets are allowing 111.7 ppg on the season and have allowed 110 or more in 4 of their last 6. BET THE OVER 221! 

20* BOISE ST/UTEP CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Boise State vs UTEP over 133½ -115

My money is on the OVER 133.5 in Wednesday's college hoops action between Boise State and UTEP out in Hawaii at the Diamond Head Classic. The Broncos come in averaging 79.1 ppg and are giving up 79 ppg on the road. So while UTEP is a more defensive minded team, I think we see this one played at Boise State's pace, especially with both teams playing for the 3rd time in 4 days. BET THE OVER 133.5! 

15* BUCKS/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Bucks -2½ -115

My money is on the Bucks to cash in an easy win and cover at Philadelphia on Christmas Day. As good as the 76ers are at home, this is just too good a price to pass up with Milwaukee. The Bucks simply are on a different level than the other teams in the east and will be out to send a message to the 76ers that they got no shot of knocking them off the top spot. BET THE BUCKS -2.5! 

20* CELTICS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics -2½ -109

My money is on the Celtics to cash in a win at Toronto on Christmas Day. The Raptors have been better than expected without Siakam, but I just think it will be too much to overcome against Boston today. Celtics are red-hot coming into this one having won and covered 3 straight and are 7-2 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. Celtics are 10-4-1 ATS last 15 on the road vs a team that's won more than 60% of their home games and 7-3-1 ATS last 11 as a road favorite. BET BOSTON -2.5! 

20* BALL ST/UTEP CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ball State vs UTEP under 125 -110

My money is on the UNDER 125 in Monday's late night college hoops action out in Honolulu between UTEP and Ball State. These are two strong defensive teams. Cardinals are giving up just 61.6 ppg and the Miners allow just 61.7. That combined with the likely poor shooting with the location and time of this game makes this an easy play. BET THE UNDER 125! 

15* ROCKETS/KINGS NBA SHARP WINNER on Kings +6 -110

My money is on the Kings to cash in a cover at home against the Rockets. I just think Houston is going to have a hard time giving Sacramento their full attention and the Kings are going to come out with everything they got to get a win after losing their last 3. Sacramento is 22-8 ATS last 30 when they have lost 3 of their last 4. BET THE KINGS +6! 

20* HAWKS/CAVS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks vs Cavs over 225 -110

My money is on the OVER 225 in Monday's NBA action that has the Hawks visiting the Cavs. No need to overthink this one. You got two teams that don't play a whole lot of defense. Atlanta is giving up 125.1 ppg on the road and Cleveland is giving up 111.3 ppg at home and 114.4 ppg in their last 5. BET THE OVER 225! 

15* BULLS/MAGIC NBA SHARP WINNER on Bulls +5 -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a cover here at Orlando. This is too good a price here with Chicago. Bulls have covered 4 straight and are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games. Magic are headed the other direction. Orlando has lost 3 straight and 6 of 7 overall. BET THE BULLS +5! 

15* NUGGETS/LAKERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Lakers -6½ -110

My money is on the Lakers to cash in a win and cover at home against the Nuggets. I get the line here has dropped some with the news that LeBron James will be sitting out, but I still like LA to win here going away. We are going to get a max effort from the Lakers after losing 2 straight and those that are playing are going to want to show that it's not just all James that makes them great. Nuggets are also not a great road team. Denver is 13-3 at home compared to just 6-5 on the road. Big reason for the Nuggets road struggles is their offense goes missing on the road. Denver is averaging just 104.8 ppg away from home. BET THE LAKERS -6.5! 

20* CS-FULLERTON/LOYOLA MARYMOUNT CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Loyola Marymount -6½ -115

My money is on Loyola Marymount to cash in a win and cover at home against Cal St Fullerton. The Lions simply should have no problem winning this matchup. The Titans come in having lost 6 straight and are just 3-8 ATS on the season. Fullerton is a mere 6-20 ATS last 26 as a dog, while Marymount has covered 9 of their last 14 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. BET THE LIONS -6.5! 

20* MAVS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mavs +3½ -110

My money is on the Mavericks to cash in a win and cover here as a small road dog against the Raptors. Dallas has shown they can still be a force without Doncic, as they have racked up wins over both the Bucks and 76ers on the road. Toronto was able to win at home over Washington in their first game without Siakam, but I'm not the least bit confident in their ability to keep playing well without him. BET THE MAVS +3.5! 

20* HAWKS/NETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks vs Nets under 231 -110

My money is on the UNDER 231 in Saturday's NBA action between the Hawks and Nets. There's going to be plenty of points scored in this one, but not nearly enough to eclipse the total of 231. UNDER is 3-1 in Atlanta's last 4 and 10-5-1 in Brooklyn's last 16 games. BET THE UNDER 231! 

15* JAZZ/HORNETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Jazz -5 -110

My money is on the Jazz to cash in a win and cover at Charlotte in Saturday's NBA action. Utah has finally got thing rolling. Jazz have won 4 straight and easily the better team in this matchup. Charlotte is simply getting too much love having won 4 of 6, but those wins are all against sub-par teams. BET UTAH -5! 

20* KNICKS/HEAT NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Heat -10 -105

My money is on the Heat to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Knicks. New York comes in having won 3 of 4 and covered 4 straight, but a lot of those were against similarly bad teams. I'm confident they will struggle to keep it close against a really good Miami team that is 11-1 at home. Heat are outscoring opponents at home by 14.2 ppg and Knicks are getting outscored on the road by 12.0 ppg. BET THE HEAT -10! 

15* MAVS/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on 76ers -7½ -110

My money is on the 76ers to cash in a win and cover at home against the Mavs. Dallas has played well without Doncic in the first two games without him, but did kinda fall apart in their last game at home against the Celtics. I just think it's going to get harder and harder without him and the 76ers are going to be 100% locked in for this game after losing 2 straight. BET PHILADELPHIA -7.5! 

15* PISTONS/HEAT NBA SHARP WINNER on Pistons +8 -106

My money is on the Pistons to cash in a cover here as a big road dog against the Celtics. Detroit is a difficult team to back with their consistent play and no one is going to want anything to do with them right now given the injuries they are dealing with. However, I think the line has been over adjusted in favor of Boston and the value is with the Pistons. Celtics have also not fared well in this spot, going just 3-9-2 ATS last 14 at home vs a team with a losing road record. BET THE PISTONS +8! 

20* AKRON/TULANE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Akron -5 -105

My money is on the Zips to cash in a win and cover against the Green Wave in Friday's college hoops action. These two will be meeting up in DC at the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Both teams are 8-2 but the matchup here favors Akron. Tulane isn't the best offensive team and the Zips are holding opponents to just 61.9 ppg and 36% shooting. Green Wave give up a ton of open 3s and Akron has a number of guys who can knock it down from deep. Zips average 9 made 3-pointers and should easily hit that. BET AKRON -5! 

20* ROCKETS/CLIPPERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Rockets +5½ -110

My money is on the Rockets to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point dog at Los Angeles in Thursday's NBA action. Houston hasn't been playing all that great of late, but are coming off a huge momentum building win over the Spurs, where they overcame the largest deficit (25 points) in franchise history. These two have played twice. Rockets won and covered as a mere 2-point home favorite on 11/13. They did lose the rematch in LA, but covered in that one as well as a 5-point dog. BET THE ROCKETS +5.5! 

20* ARK-LITTLE ROCK/UL-MONROE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Arkansas-Little Rock vs Louisiana-Monroe over 124 -110

My money is on the OVER 124 in Thursday's college hoops action that has Arkansas-Little Rock visiting Louisiana Monroe. This is just too low a number to pass up. These two combined for 141 and 181 points in their two games last year. OVER has cashed in 14 of the Warhawks last 18 home games and is 15-4 in their last 19 at home vs a conference opponent. BET THE OVER 124! 

20* MAGIC/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets -8½ -115

My money is on the Nuggets to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Magic. This might seem like a big number for Orlando be catching, but I don't think it's near enough. Magic are in about as tough a scheduling spot as you will find, as they have to go from playing at Utah last night to at Denver tonight. This also their 3rd road game in 4 days and the defense, which has carried them, is not producing, having allowed 47% or worse in each of their last 3. BET THE NUGGETS -8.5! 

20* UTAH ST/S FLORIDA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Utah State -8 -110

My money is on the Aggies to cash in an easy win and cover against South Florida in Wednesday's college hoops action. Utah State is 10-2 and are going to be highly motivated after losing a heartbreaker last time out to BYU 64-68. South Florida has won and covered 3 in a row, but this is not a great team and I just don't think they will score enough. Bulls are averaging a mere 59.3 ppg away from home and Utah State is giving up just 60.9 ppg and holding teams to 38.6% shooting. BET THE AGGIES -8! 

15* ILL-CHICAGO/ILLINOIS ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Illinois-Chicago +6 -110

My money is on the Flames to cash in a cover on the road against Illinois State in Wednesday's college hoops action. These are two bad teams and with that said, the Redbirds should not be laying this kind of number. Illinois State is just 2-6 over their last 8. Illinois Chicago has covered 3 of their last 4 and are 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team with a losing record. BET THE FLAMES +6! 

20* NEB-OMAHA/E WASHINGTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nebraska-Omaha vs Eastern Washington under 161 -115

My money is on the UNDER 161 in Tuesday's college hoops action that has Eastern Washington hosting Nebraska-Omaha. This number has been drastically inflated based off the resent results of these two teams. Eastern Washington just put up 146 in a win over Multnomah Bible and Nebraska-Omaha scored 92 in a win over UTRGV. EWU is averaging 90.0 ppg, but their opponents on average are giving up 81.7 ppg. Omaha only gives up 73.5 ppg and EWU allows just 69.5 ppg at home. BET THE UNDER 161! 

20* HAWKS/KNICKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks -1 -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a win and cover at home against the Hawks in Tuesday's NBA action. Neither of these teams are any good, but New York has been playing better of late, as they come in having covered 3 in a row. Hawks are just 3-11 on the road this season, where they are getting outscored by 14.7 ppg. BET THE KNICKS -1! 

15* NORTHEASTERN/E MICHIGAN CBB SHARP WINNER on Northeastern PK -110

My money is on the Huskies to cash in a win and cover as a pick'em against the Eagles. The line here really says it all. Eastern Michigan is 8-1 overall 4-0 at home and not favored against a 5-5 Northeastern team that has failed to cover 4 of their last 5. This just goes to show you how easy the schedule has been for the Eagles. BET THE HUSKIES PK! 

20* UC-SANTA BARBARA/IDAHO ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UC-Santa Barbara -7 -103

My money is on UC-Santa Barbara to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Bengals. The Gauchos lost last time out at Southern Utah, but covered as a dog in a 61-62 loss. Santa Barbara had won 5 straight prior to that setback, including road wins over CS-Bakersfield and TX-Arlington. Gauchos are also a dominant 9-1 ATS last 10 on the road after a road loss by 3 or less. BET UC-SANTA BARBARA -7! 

20* BULLS/THUNDER NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Thunder -5½ -105

My money is on the Thunder to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Bulls. This is just too good a price to pass up on OKC. I believe the value here is due to the fact the Bulls are off a big win against the Clippers and have covered 7 of their last 9. Thing with that win over LAC is the Clippers didn't have Leonard, Beverly or Williams. Bulls are just 4-8 on the road and are one of the worst offensive teams in the league. I just don't think they can keep pace offensively. Chicago is giving up 109.7 ppg on the road and OKC is scoring 113.0 ppg at home. BET THE THUNDER -5.5! 

20* SE MISSOURI ST/YOUNGSTOWN ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Youngstown State -6 -108

My money is on the Youngstown State to cash in a win and cover at home against SE Missouri State in Sunday's college hoops action. The Penguins are a perfect 4-0 at home, outscoring opponents by almost 23 ppg. SE Missouri State is 1-5 on the road this season and will be playing their 6th straight game away from home. BET YOUNGSTOWN STATE -6! 

20* LAKERS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks +10½ -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in as a 10.5-point home dog against the Lakers in Sunday's NBA action. This is just too many points for LA to be laying in a game they are likely to have a hard time getting up for. Lakers are playing their 3rd straight on the road and 6th game away from home in their last 7. LA knows they don't need their best to beat the Hawks and I think they go through the motions and let Atlanta hang around. BET THE HAWKS +10.5! 

15* FRESNO ST/CAL POLY CBB SHARP WINNER on Cal Poly +8½ -110

My money is on the Cal Poly to cash in a cover here as a 8.5-point dog at home against Fresno State. The Bulldogs might be the better team, but at 2-7 there's no reason for them to be laying this kind of number. Especially with Cal Poly having just won at home 70-66 as a 5.5-point dog against Siena in their last game. BET CAL POLY +8.5! 

20* THUNDER/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets -7 -105

My money is on the Nuggets to cash in a win and cover at home against the Thunder. Denver has a great home court edge and OKC is really bad on the road. Nuggets are 9-3 at home, outscoring teams by nearly 6 ppg. Thunder are 4-8 on the road and getting outscored by 3.3 ppg. Also a tough spot for OKC playing their 4th straight on the road. BET THE NUGGETS -7! 

20* OREGON/MICHIGAN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Oregon vs Michigan over 138 -110

My money is on the OVER is Saturday's college hoops action between Michigan and Oregon. I just think the books have completely missed the mark here. These are two really good offensive teams. Wolverines are scoring 78.5 ppg on 49.5% shooting and the Ducks are scoring 78.9 ppg on 47.7% shooting. We have also seen both teams get into some high-scoring games when matched up against good teams. BET THE OVER THE 138! 

20* KNICKS/KINGS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks +9 -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a cover here as a 9-point dog at the Kings in Friday's NBA action. New York put that awful showing at Portland on Tuesday behind them with a 124-122 OT win at Golden State on Wednesday and have now covered 2 of their last 3. I like the Knicks to keep this close and it wouldn't shock me at all if they won outright. Take New York! 

20* COLORADO/COLORADO ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Colorado -5 -110

My money is on the Buffaloes to cash in a win and cover against in-state rival Colorado State. I think we are getting a great price here with Colorado. Buffaloes are off back-to-back losses. The first one was almost to be expected as it was at Kansas. The most recent at home to UNI was a bit of a shocker, as they were a 9.5-point favorite. That however is a really good UNI team that should have never been that big of a dog. That loss should have the Buffs 100% locked in for this one. BET COLORADO -5! 

20* 76ERS/CELTICS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on 76ers vs Celtics under 212½ -110

20* IOWA/IOWA ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Iowa State -3½ -110

20* KNICKS/WARRIORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Warriors -4 -110

My money is on the Warriors to cash in a win at home against the Knicks in Wednesday's NBA action. This might seem like a decent line as the Warriors are sitting at 5-20 and the Knicks are 4-20. The thing is, New York is playing on no rest and are just 1-10 SU on the road this season. Warriors might not have a ton of talent, but they got a lot of heart and should win here easy. BET GOLDEN STATE -4! 

20* ARKANSAS ST/MISSOURI ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Arkansas State vs Missouri State over 131½ -115

My money is on the OVER 131.5 in Wednesday's college hoops action between Arkansas State and Missouri State. OVER has cashed in 4 of the RedWolves last 6 games and 3 of the last 4 for Missouri State. BET THE OVER 131.5! 

20* NUGGETS/76ERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets vs 76ers over 206½ -110

My money is on the OVER 206.5 in Tuesday's NBA action with the Nuggets and 76ers. This is too low a total with the offensive fire-power of these two teams. Philadelphia is rolling right now on offense and while Denver has struggled a bit of late, they are averaging 106.1 ppg on the road. Both teams score at least 105 in this one. BET THE OVER 206.5! 

20* MARYLAND/PENN ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Maryland vs Penn State under 147 -110

My money is on the UNDER 147 in Tuesday's college hoops action between Penn State and Maryland. I get these two teams are scoring at a high clip, but that's to be expected in non-conference. We just saw Maryland play a game at home against Illinois that ended 59-58. Both of these teams are great defensively. Terps are only giving up 60.8 ppg and are holding teams to 37% shooting. Nittany Lions are allowing just 58 ppg and 38% shooting at home. BET THE UNDER 147! 

20* RAPTORS/BULLS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Bulls +7½ -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a cover as a home dog against the Raptors in Monday's NBA action. Chicago is coming off a hard fought OT loss at Miami yesterday and while they came up short they covered for the 4th time in 5 games. Bulls will be out for revenge in this one, as they got embarrassed 108-84 at home by Toronto earlier this season. Now is also the time to go against Toronto. Raptors have lost 3 straight and good chance they may be without one of their best players in Fred VanVleet. BET THE BULLS +7.5! 

20* RAPTORS/76ERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Raptors +3 -105

My money is on the Raptors cash in a win and cover as a small road dog against the 76ers Sunday. Toronto is going to be 100% locked in off back-to-back home losses to Miami and Houston. Raptors will also have fresh legs playing on a full 2 days of rest. That extra rest should pay off here, as the 76ers will be playing in the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and 3rd in the last 4 days. BET THE RAPTORS +3! 

20* WILLIAM & MARY/FAIRFIELD CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on William & Mary -1½ -108

My money is on the Tribe to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road favorite against Fairfield. William & Mary is 6-3 to start the season and Fairfield is 2-6. Sure the Stags are off an upset win at Texas A&M, but that's a bad Texas A&M team and if anything it makes them primed for a letdown here. Fairfield is just 4-14 ATS last 18 as a home dog of 3-points or less. BET WILLIAM & MARY -1.5! 

20* PACERS/KNICKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pacers vs Knicks over 205½ -110

My money is on the OVER 205.5 in Saturday's NBA action between the Pacers and Knicks. Indiana comes in averaging 109.5 ppg and should be able to score at will here against a bad New York defense that is allowing 111.3 ppg and 47% shooting.I also think we could see a lackluster defensive effort from the Pacers, as they can't feel threatened by this Knicks team and it's the final game of a 5-game road trip. BET THE OVER 205.5! 

20* W VIRGINIA/ST. JOHN'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on West Virginia -3½ -110

My money is on the Mountaineers to cash in a win and cover at St. John's in Saturday's college hoops action. West Virginia is a perfect 7-0 to start the season and 3-0 away from home, where they are winning by 10.7 ppg. Red Storm are off to a solid 7-2 start to the season, but it's come against a pretty soft schedule. Their only game against a Power 6 opponent was a matchup with Arizona State on a neutral court and they lost by 13 as a mere 3.5-point dog. BET THE MOUNTAINEERS -3.5! 

20* PITT/LOUISVILLE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pittsburgh vs Louisville over 124½ -110

MY money is on the OVER 124.5 in Friday's college hoops action that has Pittsburgh visiting Louisville in ACC play. I get these are two strong defensive teams, but I just feel with how good the Cardinals are offensively this thing is going to fly by this total. Louisville is averaging 78.7 ppg and shooting 38.6% from behind the 3-point line. Look for them to let the 3-ball fly early and often against a Pitt defense that is allowing teams to shoot 38.7% from deep on the road. BET THE OVER 124.5! 

20* WARRIORS/BULLS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Warriors +6½ -110

My money is on the Warriors to cash in a cover here as road dog against the Bulls. Chicago just can't be trusted to lay this big a number against any team. Golden State is expected to have one of their top scorers back in D'Angelo Russell. Warriors also had their way with the Bulls 104-90 at home earlier this season. BET GOLDEN STATE +6.5! 

20* N ILLINOIS/ST MARY'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on St. Mary's -13 -110

My money is on St. Mary's to cash in a win and cover at home against the Huskies. The Gaels enter this one on a roll as they have won 6 straight, which includes a couple of solid wins over Fresno St and Utah St. While Northern Illinois has also won 6 straight, it's come against a very soft schedule (favored in every game). This is their first game as a dog since losing by 18 as a 14.5-point dog at ISU back on Nov. 12 and I wouldn't be surprised at all if St. Mary's won by 20+. BET THE GAELS -13! 

20* SUNS/PELICANS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pelicans PK -110

My money is on the Pelicans to cash in a win and cover at home against the Suns. This is a big fade of the Suns, who are in a really tough scheduling spot. Phoenix was at Orlando last night, so this will be the second leg of a back-to-back road set. It's also their 3rd road game in the last 4 days. New Orleans is hungry for a win after losing their last 6 and I think they snap the skid in a big way tonight. BET THE PELICANS PK! 

15* CS-NORTHRIDGE/PORTLAND CBB SHARP WINNER on CS-Northridge +4½ -110

My money is on CS-Northridge to cash in a cover here as a small dog against Portland. I think the Pilots aren't anywhere close to as good as their 6-1 start and CS-Northridge is better than their 1-7 mark. The Matadores finally got some good vibes going as they secured their first win of the season in a 73-72 victory over Fresno State last time out. I think they got a great shot at winning this one. BET CS-NORTHRIDGE +4.5! 

15* BOISE ST/NEW MEXICO CBB SHARP WINNER on Boise State vs New Mexico over 145½ -110

My money is on the OVER 145.5 in Wednesday's college hoops action that has Boise State taking on New Mexico. These two teams both like to play fast, especially New Mexico who is 27th in average possession length. Broncos aren't quite up there but do rank 105th. I think both teams could score 80 in this one. BET THE OVER 145.5! 

20* WOLVES/MAVS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wolves +4½ -110

My money is on the Timberwolves to cash in a cover on the road against the Mavs. This is a brutal spot for Dallas playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back, as well as their 3rd game in 4 days. Minnesota on the other hand is well rested playing with 2 days of rest and just their 2nd game in the last 7 days. Wolves are also a great road team, going 7-2 SU and 7-2 ATS to start the year. BET MINNESOTA +4.5! 

20* TEXAS TECH/DEPAUL CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on DePaul PK -103

My money is on the Blue Demons to cash in a win and cover at home against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders were expected to take a step back this year after reaching the title game a season ago. I just think they are still overvalued from last year. They just lost to Iowa 72-61 in Vegas and 83-76 to Creighton. DePaul is 8-0 and playing as well as anyone as they already have two big road wins over Iowa and Minnesota, as well as a win at BC. BET THE BLUE DEMONS PK! 

20* UTEP/NEW MEXICO ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UTEP vs New Mexico State over 123½ -110

My money is on the OVER 123.5 in Tuesday's college hoops action that has the Miners visiting the Aggies. UTEP is averaging 77.2 ppg and New Mexico State is putting up 82.7 ppg at home. Miners are shooting 49.5% from the field and the Aggies are connecting on 48.5% of their shots at home. The books have simply missed the mark with this low total. BET THE OVER 123.5! 

20* PISTONS/CAVS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cavs +3 -105

My money is on the Cavs to cash in a win and cover as a small home dog against the Pistons Tuesday night. I just don't get Detroit being favored on the road. I know Cleveland isn't very good, but neither are the Pistons. Detroit is just 1-9 on the road. Cavs are going to give it their all and might be adding a couple key pieces to the rotation. BET CLEVELAND +3! 

15* VALPARAISO/E MICHIGAN CBB SHARP WINNER on Valparaiso vs Eastern Michigan over 134 -115

My money is on the OVER 134 in Tuesday's college hoops action that has Eastern Michigan hosting Valparaiso. The Eagles have won 3 straight at home and in the process have averaged an impressive 88.7 ppg. That offense should continue to roll against a Valparaiso defense that is giving up 79.2 ppg and 50.6% shooting on the road. Crusaders can also score, as they are averaging 78.0 ppg. BET THE OVER 134! 

20* WARRIORS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks -4½ -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in a win and cover at home against the Warriors. This is a good spot to buy low on Atlanta, who just saw their losing streak reach double-digits in an ugly 158-111 loss at Houston on Saturday. I expect a big effort here at home. Golden State is just 4-17 overall and a mere 2-10 on the road. BET THE HAWKS -4.5! 

20* FURMAN/S FLORIDA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Furman -3½ -109

My money is on Furman to cash in a win and cover at South Florida as a small road favorite. The Paladins are off to an impressive 6-1 start, while the Bulls have been a major disappointment early on, going just 3-4 in their first 7 games. When Furman is favored on the road they are almost an automatic play, as they are 9-1 ATS last 10 times they are laying points away from home. BET THE PALADINS -3.5! 

20* ST BONAVENTURE/SAN DIEGO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on San Diego vs St Bonaventure over 122½ -110

My money is on the UNDER 122.5 in Sunday's college hoops action between St. Bonaventure and San Diego. I just don't see a lot of offense in this one. Bonnies are a very limited offensive team. They have scored under 60 in 4 of their 6 games this season. They can do that because they play solid defense, as they only give up 65 ppg. San Diego only scores 63.7 ppg on the road. BET THE UNDER 122.5! 

20* CELTICS/KNICKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics -7 -115

My money is on the Celtics to cash in a win and cover at New York on Sunday. Big bounce back spot for Boston off a loss at Brooklyn Friday and they absolutely destroyed the Knicks 118-95 in their previous trip to New York this season. Knicks have also lost 5 straight. NY only averages 101 pgp at home and Boston only allows 101.5 on the road. Knicks won't be able to score enough to keep this within the number. BET THE CELTICS -7! 

20* SAN FRANCISCO/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii +4½ -111

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a cover here as a small 4.5-point dog. San Fran has started out 7-0 and are simply overvalued here on the road because of it. Hawaii is no pushover. Rainbow Warriors only two losses are to South Dakota and Illinois. They have covered 3 straight. BET HAWAII +4.5! 

15* SAN FRANCISCO/HAWAII CFB SHARP WINNER on San Francisco vs Hawaii under 147½ -109

My money is on the UNDER in Friday's college hoops action between San Fran and Hawaii. These are two strong defensive teams. San Fran is scoring a very misleading 88.9 ppg, as they have played some cupcake teams who don't play much defense. They Rainbow Warriors only giving up 68.7 ppg and just held Illinois to 66 on the road. OVER has been set way too high in this one. BET THE UNDER 147.5! 

20* WIZARDS/LAKERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wizards vs Lakers over 224½ -115

My Money is on the OVER 224.5 in Friday's NBA action between the Lakers and Wizards. In Washington's last 5 games they are scoring 122.6 ppg and giving up 122.4 ppg. That alone is enough reason to take the OVER. Lakers are scoring 115.8 ppg and giving up 111.2 ppg. BET THE OVER 224.5! 

20* SIU-EDWARDSVILLE/UC-RIVERSIDE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on SIU-Edwardsville vs Cal-Riverside over 122½ -115

My money is on the OVER 122.5 in Friday's college hoops action between UC-Riverside and SIU-Edwardsville. OVER is 9-1 in Edwardsville's last 10 after losing 4 of 5 and 14-5 in their last 19 off a loss by 15 or more. OVER is also 12-3 in Riverside's last 15 at home after giving up 65 or fewer points in 3 straight games. BET THE OVER 122.5! 

20* TENNESSEE ST/CAL POLY CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cal Poly +7½ -114

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in a cover here as a dog against the Tigers. Cal Poly comes in at just 1-5, but are a profitable 3-2 ATS. They have also been a dog of 16 or more in all 5 of their losses, so the record is to be expected. I just don't think Tennessee Tech is good enough to be laying this kind of number and could see the Mustangs actually winning this one outright. BET CAL POLY +7.5! 

20* HOFSTRA/SAN DIEGO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hofstra PK -110

My money is on the Pride to cash in a win and cover as a pick'em at San Diego. Hofstra has won 3 straight, including two impressive road wins over UCLA and CS-Fullerton. They beat the Bruins 88-78 as a 14.5-point dog and rolled the Titans 78-57 as a 3-point favorite. San Diego has lost 3 straight and are just 2-5 on the season. BET HOFSTRA PK! 

15* S DAKOTA/CAL BAPTIST CBB SHARP WINNER on California Baptist +1½ -103

My money is on the Lancers to cash in a win and cover here as a small home dog against the Coyotes. Cal Baptist is just 3-3 but two of those losses are on the road against Texas and Cal. They covered as a 16.5-point dog against Texas and were just a 5-point dog agains Cal. BET THE LANCERS +1.5! 

20* KINGS/76ERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Kings vs 76ers under 213½ -110

My money is on the UNDER 213.5 in tonight's NBA action between the Kings and 76ers. Philadelphia has been locked in defensively of late, as they are giving up just 98.0 ppg in their last 5. They are also a dominant defensive team at home, where they are giving up 97.8 ppg on the season. Kings offense is limited at just 105.3 ppg and have been playing some decent defense here of late. BET THE UNDER 213.5! 

20* UC-DAVIS/CALIFORNIA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UC-Davis vs California under 124 -110

My money is on the UNDER 124 in Tuesday's college hoops action between UC-Davis and Cal. The Golden Bears have scored fewer than 55 in each of their last 3 games, shooting under 39% from the field in all 3 of those contests. I could see those struggles continuing against a UC-Davis team that doesn't exactly push the pace offensively. UC Davis also doesn't have a great offense and Cal has been really good on the defensive end. BET THE UNDER 124! 

20* WIZARDS/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wizards +10½ -110

My money is on the Wizards to cash in a cover here as a 10.5-point dog against the Nuggets. There's no question that Denver is the better team, but with how well they have been playing (9-1 L10) and a 3-day break looming after this game, I think they are going to have a hard time giving Washington their full attention. Wizards might not be winning a lot of games, but they are 10-4 ATS on the season, which includes a 6-1 ATS mark on the road. BET WASHINGTON +10.5! 

15* MERCER/ST BONAVENTURE CBB SHARP WINNER on St Bonaventure -6 -110

My money is on the Bonnies to cash in a win and cover at home against Mercer in Tuesday's college hoops action. While the Bears are off a big upset win at Illinois-Chicago, I think they struggle here playing their 3rd road game in a span of just 8 days and only getting 2 days off from their last game. BET ST BONAVENTURE -6! 

20* MAGIC/PISTONS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Magic +5 -110

My money is on the Magic to cash in a cover at Detroit tonight. Pistons are getting a lot of love here because Orlando is down both Vucevic and Gordon, but I just don't trust this Detroit team at all right now. Pistons are just 1-6 in their last 7 games and have been a complete no show in a number of those losses. Magic aren't just going to lay down and wouldn't be shocked at all if they won outright. BET ORLANDO +5! 

15* GEORGIA/DAYTON CBB SHARP WINNER on Dayton -2 -115

My money is on the Flyers to cash in a win and cover as a slim 2-point favorite against the Bulldogs. Both of these teams come into this matchup undefeated, but Georgia has played 3 cupcakes and arguably should have lost at home last time out to in-state rival Georgia Tech. Yellow Jackets shot just 12-23 (52%) from the free throw line and lost by just 4. I just don't think the Bulldogs are that good and this line backs that up. BET DAYTON -2! 

20* LOYOLA-CHICAGO/USF CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago PK -108

My money is on the Ramblers to cash in a win and cover against South Florida in Monday's college hoops action. These two will be facing off in the first round of the Cayman Islands Classic. Loyola is simply the better team. Ramblers just destroyed IUPUI 85-62 in their last game. The same IUPUI team that beat USF on the road 70-53. Loyola is just 3-2, but are outscoring opponents by 9.2 ppg and Bulls are 3-11 ATS last 14 against good teams that are outscoring opponents by 8+ points/game. BET THE RAMBLERS -108! 

15* NICHOLLS ST/UMBC CBB SHARP WINNER on Nicholls State vs Maryland-Baltimore County under 127½ -110

My money is on the UNDER 127.5 in Sunday's college hoops action that has Nicholls State taking on UMBC. Both teams are shooting awful away from home. Nicholls is hitting just 39% from the field away from home and UMBC is only hitting 35% on the highway. BET THE UNDER 127.5! 

20* COLORADO/WYOMING CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Colorado vs Wyoming over 123 -110

My money is on the OVER 123 in Sunday's college hoops action between Wyoming and Colorado. The Cowboys really like to slow things down to a snails pace and I don't think the Buffaloes mind playing slow. They just played a game against UC-Irvine that saw just 122 points. UNDER is 10-0 in Colorado's last 10 after 3 straight games as a favorite and 9-1 in their last 10 tournament games. BET THE UNDER 123! 

20* MAVS/ROCKETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mavs +5½ -105

My money is on the Mavs to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point dog at Houston. Dallas is playing out of their minds right now. In their last two games they destroyed the Cavs 143-101 and the Warriors 143-94. THey have won 4 straight overall and are catching the Rockets at the right time. Houston is in a really difficult portion of their schedule. This will be their 6th game in the last 10 days and the last two were massive games against Western Conference powers Denver and LA, both on the road. BET THE MAVS +5.5! 

20* CELTICS/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics vs Nuggets under 210 -110

My money is on the UNDER 210 in Friday's NBA contest that has the Nuggets hosting the Celtics. Boston's a great defense team and will really have to rely on that defense in this one, as they just aren't going to have enough gas in the tank to push the pace playing their 5th straight on the road and 4th in 6 days. Denver is a solid defensive team as well and I think we see a similar score to the Nuggets last game against the Rockets, which ended up with just 200 points. BET THE UNDER 210! 

15* PRAIRIE VIEW/GEORGIA ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Georgia State -7 -110

My money is on the Panthers to cash in a win and cover against Prairie View. These two teams both come in with just 1 win, but I've just been much more impressed with this Georgia State team and think they are easily the more talented team in this matchup. Panthers have covered 14 of their last 19 on the road in non-conference and 9-1 in their last 10 on the road after playing their previous game as a dog. BET GEORGIA STATE -7! 

20* GEORGE WASH/UMKC CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UMKC vs George Washington over 122½ -110

My money is on the OVER 122.5 in Friday's early afternoon clash between George Washington and UMKC. This is just too low a number. UMKC's defense comes in allowing a mere 58.6 ppg, but those are skewed because of their two games against non-D1 teams in Avila and Bacone, where they allowed 49 and 38 points. Their last game was against Bacone and that's important to note as the OVER is 9-1 in UMKC's last 10 after allowing 65 or less in 2 straight game. OVER is also 13-3 in their last 16 against teams who shoot 42% or worse. BET THE OVER 122.5! 

20* PELICANS/SUNS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pelicans +6 -110

My money is on the Pelicans to cash in a cover here as a 6-point dog against the Suns. New Orleans comes in with some confidence as they have won 2 straight. Pelicans are starting to healthy too and injuries have played a big part of their poor 5-9 start. Suns have lost 3 of 4 and they are now dealing with the injury bug, as their two big free agent pickups in Ricky Rubio and Aaron Baynes are both out. BET THE PELICANS +6! 

20* TEXAS/GEORGETOWN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Texas -4 -108

My money is on the Longhorns to cash in a win and cover against Georgetown, as the two will face off at Madison Square Garden in the opening round of the Empire Classic. I think Shaka Smart has put together a really good team in Austin this year and are going to surprise some people. They are 4-0 and should no problem pulling away from what I think is a pretty average Hoyas team that already lost by 15 at home to Penn State. BET THE LONGHORNS -4! 

20* SPURS/WIZARDS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wizards +2 -110

My money is on the Wizards to cash in a win at home against the Spurs. I just don't get why San Antonio keeps getting so much love. The Spurs are just 5-9 overall and have lost 6 straight. They are also just 1-5 on the road where they are allowing 113 ppg. Wizards are just 3-8, but one of the best in terms of covering with a 8-3 ATS mark. Washington should be poised for a great effort here playing on 2 days rest. BET THE WIZARDS +2! 

15* JAMES MADISON/OLD DOMINION CBB SHARP WINNER on Old Dominion -9½ -108

My money is on the Monarchs to cash in an easy win and cover at home against James Madison. This is just not a good matchup for the Dukes who really rely on their ability to score in transition. ODU is one of the best in the country at not letting teams exploit them on the fast break. I just don't see James Madison being able to score enough to keep this within single digits. BET THE MONARCHS -9.5! 

20* N KENTUCKY/BALL ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ball State -7½ -108

My money is on the Cardinals to cash in a win and cover at home against the Norse. I just think Northern Kentucky will have a hard time keeping this close without starting point guard Jalen Tate. They were able to win last time out against Coppin State without him, but that's an awful team. Ball State has started out 3-1 with their only loss coming at Evansville. Most recently they routed Indiana State by 14 as a mere 2-point favorite. The game before they rolled Illinois Chicago on the road by 19 as a 4.5-point favorite. Books just haven't caught up to this team. BET BALL STATE -7.5! 

20* WYOMING/DETROIT CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Detroit PK -108

My money is on the Titans to cash in a win and cover as a pick'em on the road against Wyoming. Detroit has started out 0-2, but that was to be expected, as they opened the season with road games at NC State and Clemson. While they did fail to cover in either game, they were able to keep both somewhat respectable. Wyoming is just not a good team and have already lost twice at home, including a 7-point loss to CS-Fullerton as a 3-point favorite. BET DETROIT PK!

20* WARRIORS/GRIZZLIES NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Grizzlies -4½ -110

My money is on Memphis to cash in a win and cover at home against the Warriors. Golden State's season just can't get any worse. Having already lost their two best players in Curry and Thompson, they now must find a way to make things work without D'Angelo Russell. Memphis might seem like a team they can compete against, but the Grizzlies are playing well with 3 wins in their last 4. BET MEMPHIS -4.5!
