20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +5½ -115

The Leathernecks (+5.5) are worth a look here as a slim dog against Tennessee Martin. Western Illinois is 1-4, but have played a really tough schedule. As for the Skyhawks, they are 3-0 but have played one of the easiest schedules. They could also be 1-2, as they needed double-overtime to win at home against Evansville and snuck out a 2-point win over SE Missouri State. I'm not so sure this line shouldn't be closer to a pick'em. Play Western Illinois +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on San Francisco +8 -113

San Francisco (+8) is worth a look here as a near double-digit dog on the road against Oregon. The Pac-12 has not looked great early on this season and while Oregon comes in 4-1, I don't think this is an elite team by any means. The Dons are more than capable of going into Oregon and giving the Ducks all they can handle. San Francisco has already secured a win over Virginia and beat a decent Nevada team by 25. They also just barely lost to Cal in their last game 70-72. Play San Francisco +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia State -4½ -108

You really just need to look at the line to know that Georgia State (-4.5) is the play in this one. These two teams played at Mercer back on Nov. 30. A game the Bears won 86-69. Mercer also comes in a perfect 6-0 SU on the season. All of that and yet the Bears are a dog in the rematch. It's for good reason. This Georgia State team is every bit as talented as Mercer and now they have the home court edge. Panthers get their revenge and we get our cover. Play Georgia State -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago +9½ -115

Loyola-Chicago (+9.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's game at Wisconsin. This might seem like a small number for the No. 12 ranked team to be laying at home against an unranked opponent, but the Ramblers are no joke. They return all 5 starters from a team that won 21-games last year. These two teams also play at ridiculously slow tempo, which makes the 9.5 a lot more valuable than it might seem. I expect Loyola Chicago to make a game of it. Play the Ramblers +9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland -1½ -110

Maryland (-1.5) is worth a look as a small home favorite against Rutgers in Monday's Big Ten opener. This line is begging you to take the Scarlet Knights. You have a ranked team in Rutgers as a dog against an unranked team in Maryland. Not to mention the Scarlet Knights are coming in off an impressive 79-69 win over Syracuse and the Terps fresh off an ugly 14-point loss to Clemson. I'm confident Maryland bounces back here. Rutgers only won 2 true road games all of last season and this is their first true road game of this year. Play Maryland -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -3 -110

The Thundering Herd (-3) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against Ohio. Marshall returns all 5 starters from last year and are a perfect 3-0 to start the new season, including an impressive 16-point win over a quality Wright State team. Ohio is a decent team and are 4-1 with their only loss by 2 to Illinois, but too much value here to pass up with the Thundering Herd. Play Marshall -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Valparaiso -2½ -110

The Crusaders (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Chippewas in Saturday's college hoops action. Valpo got off to a slow start with three straight losses to start the season, but it came against a tough schedule that included two power 5 opponents. They have responded with back-to-back wins and I look for them to make easy work against a pretty bad Central Michigan team. Chippewas only win on the season against Western Illinois, who is ranked No. 345 at KenPom and they only won that game by a mere 6-points. Play Valparaiso -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rider +3 -108

The Broncs (+3) are worth a look as a small road dog against Manhattan. Great buy low spot on Rider in this one, as they have had quite a challenging schedule to start out the year playing on the road against both Syracuse and St. John's. They only lost by 3 against the Red Storm. As for Manhattan, I have them rated lower and the Jaspers are at a disadvantage having not played a game yet. Play Rider +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Riverside -7 -120

UC Riverside (-7) is worth a look here at this price. The Highlanders should have no problem winning by double-digits on the road against Northern Arizona. The Lumberjacks have only played one game and were absolutely destroyed by Arizona 96-53. UC Riverside lost to a quality Pacific team in their opener, but fired right back with a 15 point upset win against Washington and cruised to a 20-point victory over Denver in their last game, who I would say is pretty equal in terms of talent to Northern Arizona. Play the Highlanders -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on TCU -2½ -108

TCU (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Friars. I think this line reflects a lot of what these two teams were a year ago and not what they are this season. Providence lost two of their best players and have not looked great early on with blowout losses to both Indiana and Alabama. TCU on the other hand is much improved and it's shown early as they are 4-1 with their only loss by 4-points to a top tier Oklahoma team. Play TCU -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Penn State +6 -115

The Nittany Lions (+6) are worth a look as a pretty decent sized underdog against the Hokies. Virginia Tech is 4-0 and have that big overtime win over No. 3 Villanova, but I don't think they should be laying this many points against an equally talented Penn State team. Nittany Lions only loss came in OT to a good Seton Hall team. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Penn State won this game outright. Play the Nittany Lions +6. 

20* SHARP PLAY on Middle Tennessee PK -110

The Blue Raiders (PK) are worth a look at a pick'em on their home floor against Chattanooga. Middle Tennessee lost their first two, but got back on track in their last game with a 78-61 win over Murray State, which was their toughest test to date. The Mocs are 3-0, but have not played a team inside the Top 200 of the KenPom rankings. Blue Raiders should be a much bigger favorite here. Play Middle Tennessee PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +9½ -108

The Leathernecks of Western Illinois are worth a look as a big home dog (+9.5) to Central Michigan. There's just no way the Chippewas should be laying this kind of number, as they are sitting at 0-3 themselves. Leathernecks only loss was to Iowa and while it was ugly, they just had no answer for Luka Garza (41 points). Central Michigan doesn't have anyone close to Garza's ability. It will be much easier on both sides of the ball for the Leathernecks. Play Western Illinois +9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Marquette +4 -109

Our biggest bet on the college hardwood Friday is on Marquette +4 at home against Wisconsin. I don't know that the Golden Eagles should be this big a dog on their home floor. Marquette let a lot of backers down in their last game as a small favorite against Oklahoma State. They came up short in a 8-point loss and more than anything they just didn't shoot the ball well. Wisconsin is 3-0 but have played absolutely nobody with their 3 wins against E Illinois, Arkansas Pine Bluff and Green Bay. Also big revenge spot for Marquette after losing by 16 at Wisconsin a year ago. Play the Golden Eagles +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Washington +8 -110

The Huskies (+8) are worth a shot as they take on Utah in Pac-12 play on Thursday. No one is going to want anything to do with Washington after watching them get absolutely destroyed by Baylor 86-52 and then lose 57-42 in their next game to UC Riverside. Utah hasn't played a game yet and I just don't think there's a whole lot that separates these two teams. Definitely not enough that the Utes are a near double-digit favorite. Play the Huskies +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia +9½ -110

The Mountaineers (+9.5) are worth a look as a near double-digit dog against Gonzaga. Now is the perfect spot to sell high on the Bulldogs. Everyone wants to back Gonzaga being they are the No. 1 team and have won and covered each of their first two games rather easily. This is a tough matchup for the Bulldogs against a talented, deep and experienced West Virginia team. Play the Mountaineers +9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Michigan State +4 -113

The Spartans are worth a look as a small dog (+4) against the Blue Devils. It's not often Michigan State isn't one of the Big Ten teams that are getting all kinds of love coming into a season. I think that makes Tom Izzo's team a dangerous opponent. I know they lost Winston, but there's plenty of talent on board and this looks like a much deeper team than they had a year ago. Duke has some freshmen studs as usual, but I have to give the edge to the Spartans in this one. Play Michigan State +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Seton Hall -20 -110

The Pirates should have no problem covering the number (-20) as they host Iona. The Gaels are simply getting too much respect because of Rick Pitino being the head coach. Won't shock me if Pitino turns around that program, but this is not the year to make massive improvements. Iona is outclassed and on top of that Seton Hall is going to be extremely motivated having lost their opener 70-71 at Louisville. Play the Pirates -20! 

20* SHARP PLAY on South Alabama -5 -108

South Alabama (-5) is worth a look as a small favorite on the college hardwood against Jacksonville State. The Jaguars are 2-0 and have really shot the ball well out of the gate. SA is averaging 81.5 ppg on 51.8% shooting from the field and 50.0% shooting from deep. Look for the Jags offense to carry them to an easy win at home on Sunday. Play South Alabama -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on SE Missouri State +8½ -110

The Redhawks (+8.5) are worth a look here in their season opener against UM Kansas City. The Roos have put up a ton of points in their first two games, beating two inferior teams 105-35 and 138-97, respectively. I just think it has them a bit overvalued here. I not only think SE Missouri State can keep it within the number, but I give them a legit shot at winning this game outright. Play SE Missouri State +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara -7 -108

The Broncos (-7) are worth a look as they take on UC-Davis. Santa Clara defeated Idaho State 62-49 in their opener and covered in that one as a 11.5-point favorite. The Aggies lost 93-101 as a 3-point favorite to Nicholls State. Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points who are off a cover as a double-digit favorite and playing a team that lost as a favorite are 37-13 (74%) ATS last 5 seasons. Play Santa Clara -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Gonzaga -4 -115

No. 1 ranked Gonzaga (-4) is definitely worth a look as slim favorite against No. 6 ranked Kansas. I just feel like the Jayhawks are getting way too much respect coming into the year. Chances are Bill Self will end up molding this team into one of the better teams in the country, but they have to replace two studs in point guard Devon Dotson and big man Udoka Azubuike. I know Gonzaga also lost some guys, but they got more proven pieces coming back. I look for the Bulldogs to win this one rather easily. Play Gonzaga -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Drake +7½ -110

Drake (+7.5) is worth a look here as a decently priced dog against what I think is a bad Kansas State team. The Wildcats were the worst team in the Big 12 a season ago and it doesn't look like this season will be any better. Drake had one of their better players, but they got plenty coming back and I really like their coach. Darian DeVries has been with the team two seasons and guided them to back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time since the early 70's. Play the Bulldogs +7.5! 

20* N CAROLINA/VA TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on North Carolina -2½ -105

My money is on the Tar Heels to cash in a win and cover as a slim 2.5-point favorite against the Hokies. This is just too good a price to pass up on UNC. While the Tar Heels are off a loss to rival Duke, they had won their previous 3 games and have to feel after two close calls with the Blue Devils that they can win this thing and that's the only way they are getting into the big dance. Hokies started out the season strong, but really struggled down the stretch. BET THE TAR HEELS -2.5! 

20* C MICHIGAN/OHIO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ohio -5½ -105

My money is on the Bobcats to cash in a win and cover as a 5.5-point home favorite in Monday's 1st round action out of the MAC Tournament. Easy play here on Ohio. Central Michigan won their regular-season finale against fellow bottom feeder Western Michigan, but had lost 9 straight prior to that victory. Bobcats opened up just 2-7 in MAC play, but closed out the year 6-3 over their final 9 conference games. BET OHIO -5.5! 

20* PEPPERDINE/ST. MARY'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pepperdine +7 -108

My money is on the Waves to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against St. Mary's in Saturday's third round action out of the WCC Tournament. Pepperdine knocked off Santa Clara 84-73 as a 2.5-point favorite last night, improving to 10-2 ATS over the last 3 seasons on a neutral court. Waves are also 7-1 ATS this season on the road against a team with a winning record. BET PEPPERDINE +7!

20* YALE/DARTMOUTH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Dartmouth +7 -108

My money is on Dartmouth to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against Yale in Friday's college hoops action. The Big Green are rolling right now. Dartmouth has won 5 of their last 6 games and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5. Yale has won 4 straight, but are constantly overpriced, going 1-4 ATS last 5 games. BET THE BIG GREEN +7! 

20* CAL POLY/LONG BEACH ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cal Poly +5½ -108

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point road dog at Long Beach State in Thursday's college hoops action. This might seem like a favorable price for Long Beach against a Cal Poly team that is 7-21 on the season. Thing is Long Beach is 1-6 ATS last 7 vs a team with a losing record and 0-5 ATS last 5 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. BET THE MUSTANGS +5.5! 

20* FORDHAM/G WASHINGTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Fordham +6½ -108

My money is on the Rams to cash in a cover here as a 6.5-point road dog against the Colonials in Wednesday's college hoops action. Fordham has lost 10 straight, but have covered their last 2 games as dogs. George Washington has lost 3 straight and 6 of 8 overall. They are fresh off a big loss at VCU and got a huge road game at Dayton in the finale. BET FORDHAM +6.5! 

20* UC-RIVERSIDE/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii -4½ -108

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a win and cover here as a 4.5-point home favorite against the Highlanders. Easy play on Hawaii in this one. They are 14-4 at home this season, while UC-Riverside is just 5-10 on the road. Highlanders are also just 4-10 ATAS last 14 vs a team with a winning straight up record. BET RAINBOW WARRIORS -4.5! 

20* FLORIDA ST/CLEMSON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Clemson +3½ -110

My money is on Clemson to cash in a win and cover as a small 3.5-point home dog against the Seminoles. The Tigers are a strong home team and come in having won and covered 3 of their last 4. They often play their best against the best, as they are 17-7 ATS last 24 against a team that's outscoring opponents by 8+ points/game after 15+ games. BET CLEMSON +3.5! 

20* CS-FULLERTON/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on CS-Fullerton +9½ -110

My money is on the Titans to cash in a cover as a big 9.5-point road dog at Hawaii in Thursday's late night college action. This is just too big a number for the Rainbow Warriors to be laying with how they are playing. Hawaii snapped a 4-game losing streak with a win at UC-Riverside, but then lost as a favorite the next time out at Long Beach State. BET CS-FULLERTON +9.5! 

20* DELAWARE/CHARLESTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on College of Charleston -4 -108

My money is on Charleston to cash in a win and cover as a small 4-point home favorite against the Blue Hens. The Cougars are showing some value here due to the fact that they have lost 4 straight. Thing is the last 3 were on the road. Charleston will have no problem bouncing back in this spot. Cougars are 12-3 ATS last 15 when they come in having failed to cover 4 of their last 5. BET CHARLESTON! 

20* BRADLEY/ILLINOIS ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Bradley -3 -108

My money is on the Braves to cash in a win and cover as a small 3-point road favorite at Illinois State. Big bounce back spot for Bradley, who had their 4-game win streak snapped in a loss at Valpo. Braves already beat Illinois STate by double-digits at home and while the RedBird are off a win, they haven't won back-to-back games since the start of the season. BET BRADLEY -3! 

20* DRAKE/LOY-CHICAGO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Drake +7½ -108

My money is on the Bulldogs to cash in a cover here as a big 7.5-point road dog at Loyola-Chicago in Tuesday's college hoops action. Drake beat the Ramblers 65-62 at home earlier this season and shot 48% in the victory. That's more than enough reason to grab this big number on the road. BET THE BULLDOGS +7.5! 

20* W VIRGINIA/TEXAS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on West Virginia -4 -110

My money is on the Mountaineers to cash in a win as a small road favorite at Texas in Monday's college hoops action. This is just too good a price to pass up with West Virginia. The Longhorns have won their last two, but it's come against Big 12 bottom feeders TCU and Kansas State. Prior to that they had lost 4 straight. Texas' only wins in Big 12 play have come against TCU, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Iowa State, the bottom 4 teams in the conference. BET WEST VIRGINIA -4! 

20* SIENA/FAIRFIELD CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Fairfield +4 -108

My money is on the Stags to cash in a cover as a 4-point home dog against the Saints. Fairfield comes in off a thrilling 61-60 win at home over Niagara and will carry over that momentum here, as they seek revenge against Siena. Saints are not the team to back in this spot. Siena is 1-8 ATS last 9 as a road favorite of 6 or less. Fairfield is 8-1 ATS last 9 as a home dog. BET THE STAGS +4! 

20* ARK-LITTLE ROCK/ARKANSAS ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Arkansas-Little Rock -2½ -105

My money is on Arkansas-Little Rock to cash in a win and cover as a slim 2.5-point road favorite at rival Arkansas State in Saturday's college hoops action. Little Rock is a a strong 17-9 ATS this season and 11-2 ATS last 13 when they come in having won 4/5 of their last 6. Even stronger is their 11-4 ATS mark against teams with a winning record. BET LITTLE ROCK -2.5! 

20* St. PETER'S/MANHATTAN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Manhattan -2 -115

My money is on the Jaspers to cash in an easy win and cover as a slim 2-point home favorite against St. Peter's in Friday's college hoops action. The Peacocks come in having won 7 of their last 8 games, which looks great, but 6 of those 7 wins came at home. St. Peter's is just 4-8 on the road and I look for them to struggle to play well against a good Manhattan team that is 6-3 at home. BET THE JASPERS -2! 

20* BAKERSFIELD/UTAH VALLEY CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Utah Valley -2½ -108

My money is on the Wolverines to cash in an easy win and cover here as a slim 2.5-point home favorite against CS-Bakersfield in Thursday's college hoops action. I get Utah Valley is just 4-6 at home, but the Roadrunners are a team they should be handedly at home. Bakersfield has lost 5 of 6 and are just 3-9 away from home on the season. BET UTAH VALLEY -2.5! 

20* E TENNESSEE ST/FURMAN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on East Tennessee State -5½ -108

My money is on the Buccaneers to cash in a win and cover at home against Furman in Wednesday's college hoops action. East Tennessee State is rolling right now. The Bucs have won 5 straight and 10 of 11 overall. They are 12-2 in Southern Conference play. They have not forgot about a 9-point loss at Furman back on Jan. 4. East Tennessee State gets their revenge tonight. BET THE BUCCANEERS -5.5! 

20* OLE MISS/MIZZU CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Missouri -1 -108

My money is on the Tigers to cash in a win and cover as a 1-point home favorite against the Rebels in Tuesday's college hoops action. After a long stretch of poor play, Missouri has come to life. Tigers have won 2 of their last 3 and covered 3 straight. The only loss a mere 4-point setback at LSU as a 11-point dog. Ole Miss has won 3 of 4, but all 3 wins were at home. They just lost a heartbreaker at Kentucky a few days ago, so a letdown should be expected. BET MISSOURI -1! 

20* N CAROLINA/NOTRE DAME CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on North Carolina +4½ -110

My money is on the Tar Heels to cash in a win as a 4.5-point road dog at Notre Dame. I think most will be looking to fade UNC off a last second loss to Virginia. Mainly because of how bad they played on the road at WF last week after a similar type loss to Duke. Roy Williams has been preaching to his team to not have another letdown like that and I think we see them come out with a big effort and likely win this thing outright. BET THE TAR HEELS +4.5! 

20* CS-NORTHRIDGE/UC-DAVIS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on CS-Northridge +3 -110

My money is on CS-Northridge to cash in a win and cover as a slim 3-point road dog against UC Davis in Saturday's college hoops action. Northridge has gone an impressive 15-6 ATS last 21 conference road games and are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games after winning 2 of their last 3. They are also 8-1 ATS last 9 on the road after a game as a home favorite. BET NORTHRIDGE +3! 

20*AKRON/C MICHIGAN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Central Michigan +5 -110

My money is on the Chippewas to cash in a cover as a 5-point home dog against the Zips in Friday's college hoops action. Big fade here of Akron on the road after a big home win and cover against Bowling Green. Central Michigan is 11-2 on their home floor this season. They are also 22-7 ATS last 29 vs a conference opponent. BET THE CHIPPEWAS +5! 

20* UCONN/SMU CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on SMU -4 -108

My money is on SMU to cash in a win and cover as a 4-point home favorite against UConn in Wednesday's college hoops action. This is just too good a price to pass up with the Mustangs at home. SMU is 12-1 on their home floor this season and are going to be motivated off a 90-97 loss at Temple. UConn has won 2 straight, but are just 3-7 away from home this season. SMU is 5-1-1 ATS last 7 off a loss and 4-0 ATS last 4 at home vs a team that's won 40% or less of their road games. BET THE MUSTANGS -4! 

20* ST BONAVENTURE/ST. JOES CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on St Bonaventure -6½ -108

My money is on the Bonnies to cash in a win and cover as a 6.5-point road favorite against St. Joes. This is just too good a price to pass up on a red-hot St. Bonaventure team. Bonnies have won 4 straight and covered each of their last 3. St. Joes has lost 5 straight and 10 of their last 11, going just 1-4 ATS in their last 5. BET ST BONAVENTURE -6.5! 

20* BAYLOR/TEXAS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Texas +7 -115

My money is on the Longhorns to cash in a cover as a 7-point home dog against the Bears. I just think the price here is too good to pass up with Texas. Books have no choice but to inflate the number with Baylor and this just feels like too many for them to be laying on the road on just 1-day of rest. Look for the Longhorns to keep it close and maybe even pull off the upset. BET TEXAS +7! 

20* BUTLER/MARQUETTE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Marquette -2½ -110

My money is on Marquette to cash in a win and cover as a 2.5-point home favorite against Butler in Sunday's college hoops action. Golden Eagles 5-1 SU and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. They have gone 11-1 at home this season and will be out for revenge from a OT loss at Butler a few weeks back. Marquette should be 100% ready for this one having been off since last Saturday. As for the Bulldogs, they are primed for a letdown off a huge home win against Villanova. BET MARQUETTE -2.5! 

20* DAVIDSON/VCU CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on VCU -9 -108

My money is on VCU to cash in a win and cover as a 9-point home favorite against the Wildcats in Friday's college hoops action. Big bounce back spot for the Rams coming off an ugly 12-point loss at Rhode Island and Davidson comes in having lost 4 of their last 5 true road games. The only win coming against an awful Fordham team. Add in VCU is 12-1 at home and this has blowout written all over it. BET THE RAMS -9! 

20* VILLANOVA/BUTLER CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Butler -2½ -108

My money is on Butler to cash in a win and cover as a 2.5-point home favorite against the Wildcats. I just really like the spot for the Bulldogs, who are desperate for a big win after losing at home to Providence to drop them to just 2-4 over their last 6. Only the second loss all season for Butler at home. Villanova has been vulnerable on the road and are coming off an awful showing in their last game against Creighton, losing 61-76 as a 6.5-point favorite. BET BUTLER -2.5! 

20* VA TECH/GA TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Georgia Tech -2½ -110

My money is on the Yellow Jackets to cash in a win and cover as a 2.5-point home favorite against the Hokies. Easy fade of Virginia Tech here. Hokies have lost 3 straight and were just blitzed at home by FSU last time out. Georgia Tech has been a covering machine at home with a small line, going 11-3 ATS last 14 at home with a line of +3 to -3. BET THE YELLOW JACKETS -2.5! 

20* TEXAS/KANSAS NCAAB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Texas +15 -110

My money is on the Longhorns to cash in a cover here as a massive 15-point road dog at Kansas in Monday's college hoops action. Jayhawks are just getting too much love here. These two played a couple weeks ago in Texas and while KU won the game by 11 the Longhorns couldn't have played much worse, shooting 40.4% from the field, 30% from deep and 56% from the free throw line. This will be closer than expected. BET TEXAS +15!

20* CS-NORTHRIDGE/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii -6 -109

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a win and cover as a 6-point home favorite against CS-Northridge. Really an easy play here. Hawaii is playing their 4th straight at home, which is a huge edge this time of year, especially given how tough it is to travel to Hawaii and play well. Matadors are also playing their 5th road game in their last 7 overall, so that makes it that much tougher. BET HAWAII -6! 

20* OAKLAND/DETROIT CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Detroit -2½ -110

My money is on the Titans to cash in an easy win and cover as a slim 2.5-point home favorite against the Golden Grizzlies. Detroit is rolling right now with 3 wins in their last 4 games and the only loss was by a mere 3 at Green Bay. The last two have both been wins at home and they have been off since Saturday, so they are fresh and ready to go. Oakland has lost 4 straight and 7 of 8 overall. BET THE TITANS -2.5! 

20* S ALABAMA/GEORGIA ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on South Alabama +7 -110

My money is on the Jaguars to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog at Georgia State. South Alabama is 6-4 in their last 10 and their last two setbacks have come by a mere 4 and 2 points. Georgia State has won and covered 4 of 5, but that's playing into the inflated number they are being asked to lay here. BET SOUTH ALABAMA +7! 

20* W VIRGINIA/TEXAS TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Texas Tech -2½ -110

My money is on the Red Raiders to cash in a win and cover as a 2.5-point home favorite against West Virginia in Wednesday's college hoops action. Tech comes in off a overtime loss at home to Kentucky and have not lost back to back home games since 2015. I get West Virginia won the first meeting at home, but Red Raiders couldn't have shot any worse (28%) and are simply a different team at home. BET TEXAS TECH -2.5! 

20* KANSAS/OKLAHOMA ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Oklahoma State +9 -109

I'll take my chances here with the Cowboys covering as a 9-point home dog against Kansas in Monday's college hoops action. Jayhawks are simply overvalued with the injuries they have been dealt. We saw them way overpriced in Saturday's game against Tennessee, which they won by just 6 as a 13-point favorite. Oklahoma State finally got back in the win column with a 73-62 win at Texas A&M, snapping a 6 game losing streak and are going to be extremely motivated to get a win here against KU and avoid falling to 0-7 in Big 12 play. BET OKLAHOMA STATE +9! 

20* UC-DAVIS/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii -7½ -110

My money is on Hawaii to cash in an easy win and cover here as a 7.5-point home favorite against UC Davis in Saturday's college hoops action. Really nothing to think about here. Rainbow Warriors are 11-2 at home winning by almost 10 ppg and UC Davis is a mere 4-10 on the road. BET HAWAII -7.5! 

20* W MICHIGAN/N ILLINOIS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Western Michigan +6½ -108

My money is on the Broncos to cash in a cover as a 6.5-point dog at Northern Illinois in Saturday's college hoops action. Western Michigan comes in having lost 4 of 5, which I think is playing into the favorable number. Thing is 3 of those 4 came on the road against some of the better teams in the MAC. The other was a mere 3-point loss at home to Bowling Green as a 4-point dog. I not only think they cover, but I give them a good shot here of winning outright. BET WESTERN MICHIGAN +6.5!  

20* KENT ST/BUFFALO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Buffalo -3 -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a win and cover here as a slim 3-point home favorite against the Golden Flashes. Two really good teams here, but Buffalo should come out on top at home. Bulls are 7-3 at home while Kent State is just 4-5 away from home. Buffalo has won each of their last two home games against the Flashes by double-digits. BET THE BULLS -3! 

20* DRAKE/EVANSVILLE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Drake -4 -110

My money is on Drake to cash in an easy win and cover as a 4-point road favorite against Evansville in Wednesday's college hoops action. Really no need to overthink this one. Evansville is 0-6 in MVC play and just lost their head coach and are replacing him with Todd Lickliter, who hasn't been with the team this year. Drake is also poised for a big bounce back effort after an ugly showing last time out in a 49-66 loss at Southern Illinois. BET THE BULLDOGS -4! 

20* S DAKOTA ST/S DAKOTA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on South Dakota PK -108

My money is on the Coyotes to take down in-state rival South Dakota State as a PK in Sunday's college hoops action. South Dakota is off a road loss at North Dakota State by just 2-points. That defeat dropped them to 0-3 on the road in Summit League play. They are 2-0 at home and I like them to make it 3-0 today. BET THE COYOTES PK! 

20* SIENA/CANISIUS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Siena PK -105

My money is on the Saints to cash in an easy win and cover as a pick'em on the road against Canisius in Friday's college hoops action. I just don't think the Golden Griffins have what it takes to take down one of the top teams, especially with how they struggle to score. Canisius is just 1-4 in league play and are dead last in the MAAC in both offensive efficiency and effective field goal percentage. BET SIENA PK! 

20* CREIGHTON/GEORGETOWN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Georgetown -1 -108

My money is on the Hoyas to cash in a win and cover here as a small home favorite against the Bluejays in Wednesday's college hoops action. Georgetown has lost 3 of their last 4, but those 3 losses are nothing to be ashamed of, as they all came on the road against some of the top teams in the Big East in Providence, Seton Hall and Villanova. They routed St. John's by 21 in their only home game so far in Big East play and I could see them laying it on Creighton in this one. BET GEORGETOWN -1! 

20* BOWLING GREEN/W MICH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Western Michigan +4 -111

My money is on the Broncos to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small home dog against Bowling Green. Good bounce back spot for Western Michigan after a couple of road losses last two times out. I just don't think Bowling Green should be laying points on the road in this matchup. Falcons are a mere 1-8-1 ATS last 9 games overall and 2-5 ATS last 7 as a road favorite. BET WESTERN MICHIGAN +4! 

20* PORTLAND ST/MONTANA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Portland State +6 -108

My money is on the Vikings to cash in a cover here as a road dog against the Grizzlies in Monday's college hoops action. These are two evenly matched teams, but we are getting value with Portland State because they are just 1-3 SU in their last 4, while Montana has won 4 of 5. Grizzlies are just 2-6 ATS last 8 off a SU win, while the Vikings are 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road and 5-0 ATS last 5 as a dog. BET PORTLAND STATE +6! 

20* UTAH/COLORADO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Utah +9½ -105

My money is on the Utes to cash in a cover as a 9.5-point road dog against the Buffaloes in Sunday's college hoops action. No question Colorado should be favored in this matchup, but this is too many points for them to be laying against a good Utah team that is 6-2 in their last 8 games with their two losses coming against the likes of San Diego State and Oregon. Colorado also just lost at home to Oregon State as a 7.5-point favorite and also lost outright at home to UNI earlier this season as a 9.5-point favorite. BET THE UTES +9.5! 

20* N KENTUCKY/ILL-CHICAGO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Northern Kentucky -1 -108

My money is on the Norse to cash in an easy win and cover as a slim 1-pont road favorite against the Flames in Friday's college hoops action. Illinois-Chicago come in having lost 3 straight and have just 1 win all season against a team ranked better than 200 in KenPom's rankings. Note they are 245th in those rankings and Northern Kentucky is 143rd, so there's a clear gap in talent here. BET THE NORSE -1! 

20* IUPU-FT WAYNE/W ILLINOIS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Western Illinois +2 -110

My money is on the Leathernecks to cash in a win and cover here as a small 2-point home dog against the Mastodons in Wednesday's college hoops action. Western Illinois has just 4 wins to PFW's 8, but they both have lost 9 games and the Leathernecks have played the tougher schedule. Mastodons are also 1-8 on the road this season and simply should not be favored here. BET WESTERN ILLINOIS +2! 

20* TROY/TEXAS STATE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Troy State +12 -110

My money is on the Trojans to cash in a cover here as a 12-point road dog against Texas State in Monday's college hoops action. While Troy has the much worse record ata 5-10 compared to the Bobcats 8-7 mark, both teams are 1-3 in Sun Belt play with near identical scoring margins. Troy is averaging 66.7 ppg and giving up 71.7 ppg in league play, while Texas State is scoring 67.7 ppg and allowing the same 71.7 ppg. No way should the Trojans be getting double-digits here. BET TROY +12! 

20* USC/WASHINGTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Washington -4½ -110

My money is on the Huskies to cash in an easy win and cover as a 4.5-point home favorite against the Trojans. Any time USC is getting points on the road it's best to look the other way, as they are a miserable 2-11 ATS last 13 as a road dog. This is also a big bounce back spot for Washington off 2 straight losses. BET THE HUSKIES -4.5! 

20* UTAH ST/UNLV CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UNLV +8 -109

My money is on the Rebels to cash in a cover as a big home dog against the Aggies. Utah State has the much better record with a 13-2 mark to start the season, but they have repeatedly been overvalued during their hot start. In fact, the Aggies are a mere 1-6 ATS in their last 7 lined games. They are also 0-2 ATS in true road games this season. BET UNLV +8! 

20* UNI/ILLINOIS ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Illinois State +5 -110

My money is on the Redbirds to cash in a win and cover as a home dog against Northern Iowa in Tuesday's college hoops action. I know the Panthers are off to a great start, as they come in at 11-1, but I just think this is too many points for them to be laying. UNI has lost each of their last 4 trips to Illinois State and several metrics give the Redbirds as one of the best home court advantages in the country (No. 4 according to KenPom). I not only like them to cover but win outright. BET ILLINOIS STATE +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* 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* 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! 

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

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* 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* 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* 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* 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* 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! 

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! 

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! 

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* 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* UCF/ILLINOIS ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Illinois State -1 -110

My money is on the Redbirds to cash in a win and cover at home against the Knights. Illinois State has started out 2-0 with a big home win under their belt over Belmont, where they won 79-72 as a 5.5-point dog. Redbirds are 26-13 ATS last 39 as a home favorite of 3 or less. BET ILLINOIS STATE -1! 

20* NCAAB - W VIRGINIA/PITT CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pittsburgh PK -108

My money is on the Panthers to cash in a win at home against the Mountaineers. Great value with Pitt at a pick'em in this one. Panthers may still have a ways to go to be taken seriously in the ACC, but they should be greatly improved from last year's team that went just 14-19 overall and 3-13 in conference play, especially at home. West Virginia is also a very young team that is relying on a lot of freshmen and sophomores and it's always tough on inexperienced teams in their first true road game of the season. BET THE PANTHERS! 

20* PACIFIC/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii -5½ -110

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Tigers. Pacific just isn't a great team and it's really tough to beat this Hawaii team on their home floor. Warriors did lose last time out, but are 6-2 ATS last 8 off a loss. Tigers have played all 3 at home and are just 5-11 ATS last 16 on the road after 3 straight at home. BET HAWAII -5.5! 

20* DEPAUL/IOWA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on DePaul +9½ -110

My money is on the Blue Demons to cash in a cover on the road against the Hawkeyes in Monday's college hoops action. I just feel like DePaul is a team to watch out for this year, while Iowa is a team that I think is getting way too much love. It might be tough for the Blue Demons to win this game, but I love their chances to keep it within single digits. BET DEPAUL +9.5! 

20* HARVARD/NORTHEASTERN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Harvard PK -110

My money is on Harvard to cash in an easy win and cover here as a pick'em against Northeastern. The Crimson annihilated MIT 84-27 in their opener and should have no problem cruising to a victory against a rebuilding Huskies team. Northeastern lost a lot from last year's 23-win team, including leading scorer vasa Pusica and big man Anthony Green, as well as a couple other key role players to the transfer portal. BET HARVARD -110! 

20* AUBURN/VIRGINIA FINAL 4 WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Virginia -5 -110

My money is on Virginia to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Tigers. It's been quite a run for Auburn getting to this point, but I just think the loss of Okeke will be too much for them to overcome. Cavaliers really put a lot of pressure on themselves to get to the Final 4 after what happened last year. They should be as relaxed as they have been. I just think they take Auburn completely out of their comfort zone in this one, as they aren't going give the Tigers easy looks from deep and don't turn the ball over. Bet Virginia -5! 

20* DEPAUL/USF CBI CHAMP WISEGUY TOP PLAY on DePaul +2 -110

My money is on the Blue Demons to cash in an easy win and cover here at basically a pick'em against the Bulls. DePaul has covered 9 of their last 13 against a team that's won more than 60% of their games. USF is just 3-9 ATS last 12 overall and a mere 2-6 ATS last 8 at home. Last game the Bulls went a mere 3 of 17 (17.6%) from behind the 3-point line. USF is 0-6 ATS last 3 seasons after a game where they shot 20% or worse from deep. Bet DePaul +2!
