02-13-19 | Creighton v. Xavier +1.5 | Top | 61-64 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the XAVIER MUSKETEERS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Xavier has missed the postseason only once in the last 21 years and it is looking like it will be twice in 22 years as the Musketeers have dropped six straight games. Despite playing a team in a similar situation, they are getting points at home which is a big overadjustment. Xavier caught two pints at home recently against 21-4 Marquette and is now getting nearly that against a team 7.5 games worse. Creighton is coming off a pair of close losses against Seton Hall and Villanova with both of those coming on the road and this marks its third straight road game, the first time this has occurred this season. Here, we play on home teams after failing to cover the spread in six or more consecutive games. This situation is 88-52 ATS (62.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (824) Xavier Musketeers |

02-13-19 | Bucks -3.5 v. Pacers | Top | 106-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. You have to give Indiana a ton of credit as after losing its first four games following the loss of Victor Oladipo, it has won five straight games. The level of competition as been suspect however as all five of those wins came against teams with losing records and overall, the Pacers have played the easiest schedule in the NBA. Their 10 wins against the top 16 are by far the fewest among all teams that possess a winning record. The Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Milwaukee possesses the best record in the NBA and it is not due to a soft schedule as its 11 wins against the top ten are tied for most in the league while its five losses against top ten teams are the fewest. The Bucks possess the second best road record in the NBA at 19-9 as they have won six straight on the highway. Milwaukee is 12-4 ATS this season revenging a loss where opponent scored 110 or more points while going 7-1 ATS in its last eight games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* (503) Milwaukee Bucks |

02-12-19 | Butler v. St. John's -3.5 | Top | 73-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. JOHN'S RED STORM as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. St. John's pulled off a big upset one week ago as it defeated Marquette on the road by a point but could not sustain that momentum as it lost on Saturday at home against Providence by 14 points. The Red Storm were without second leading scorer Mustapha Heron who was out with a knee injury but he is back tonight as St. John's will be out for some revenge following a nine-point loss at Butler last month. Going bac, the Red Storm are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games off a home loss. The Bulldogs are coming off a pair of wins which snapped a three-game slide but they have not won three straight games since their first three games of the season. Butler is 0-6 ATS after two or more consecutive wins this season while going 9-18 ATS in its last 27 road games when playing against a team with a winning record. 10* (628) St. John's Red Storm |
|||||||
02-12-19 | Magic v. Pelicans -4.5 | Top | 118-88 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The return of Anthony Davis was positive for New Orleans as it defeated Minnesota last Friday but the momentum could not be contained as the Pelicans lost at Memphis the next night with Davis taking just eight shots and scoring a mere 14 points. They are back home where they are 16-10 and the Pelicans are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Orlando has won three straight games including the last two on the road and going back further, the Magic have won five of their last six games. They have won just seven of 23 games as road underdogs and this spot is not ideal as the Magic are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 while going 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against the Western Conference. Here, we play against road underdogs with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 after a road game where both teams scored 100 or more points, playing a losing team. This situation is 47-19 ATS (71.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (572) New Orleans Pelicans |

02-11-19 | Clippers v. Wolves -4.5 | Top | 120-130 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Monday Enforcer. This line came out late due to the injuries on the Minnesota side but the most significant one has been confirmed as Jeff Teague has been upgraded to probable after missing eight straight games and seeing just 17 minutes in his first game back on Friday. The Timberwolves are back home after losing all three games of their roadtrip to fall to 8-20 on the highway. Minnesota is 17-10 at home and needs to take care of business here in order to get back into the playoff hunt as it is five games behind the Clippers for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Los Angeles is coming off an improbable win over Boston on Saturday as it trailed by as many as 28 points but outscored the Celtics by 39 points the rest of the way. We can certainly see a letdown here after that and the Clippers have lost their last three games following a victory, the last two coming by at least 14 points. Here, we play on home favorites revenging a loss of 10 points or more, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 47-19 (71.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (566) Minnesota Timberwolves |

02-11-19 | Virginia v. North Carolina +1 | Top | 69-61 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. North Carolina was coming off a monster effort against rival NC State as it put up 113 points but narrowly escaped at home on Saturday as it took overtime to secure its seventh straight victory. The Tar Heels are 11-1 at home and are home underdogs in some spots which is a rarity as they have not been a home underdog since 2015. Going back, North Carolina is 9-0 ATS in its last nine home games when playing against a team with a winning percentage of .800 or better. Additionally, the Tar Heels are 16-4 ATS in their last 20 home games after scoring 85 points or more. Virginia suffered its second loss of the season on Saturday, both coming against Duke and now it has to regroup just two days later while adding travel to it. Virginia is 13-30 ATS in its last 43 road games off a loss by 10 points or more. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a home favorite going up against an opponent off two or more consecutive home wins. This situation is 49-20 ATS (71 percent) since 1997. 10* (856) North Carolina Tar Heels |

02-10-19 | Georgia Tech v. Notre Dame -5.5 | Top | 59-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
This is a play on the NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH for our CBB Sunday Supreme Annihilator. Injuries killed Notre Dame last season as its NCAA Tournament streak of three years in a row was halted with a trip to the NIT and this season, any postseason tournament could be a longshot unless it has a strong finish. The Irish are 2-8 in the ACC, just a half-game ahead of last place Pittsburgh and Miami and while they are 1-4 at home within the conference, all four losses have come against NCAA Tournament bound teams. They are coming off a pair of road games and finally have a winnable home games as their last two here came against Virginia and Duke. Georgia Tech has lost four straight games and going back, it has lost its last three road games, all coming by double-digits. The offense has been atrocious as the Yellow Jackets have averaged 52.2 ppg on 36.3 percent shooting over their last five games. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a straight up loss as a road favorite going up against an opponent off a loss by 20 points or more to a conference rival. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (838) Notre Dame Fighting Irish |

02-10-19 | Blazers v. Mavs +4.5 | Top | 101-102 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Portland is coming off a win over San Antonio to conclude a 3-1 homestand to improve to 23-8 at home. The Blazers head to Dallas for the first of a back-to-back road set and the road has not been nearly as kind as they are just 10-13 with a good possibility of looking ahead to Oklahoma St. tomorrow and ultimately Golden St. at home on Wednesday. The Mavericks fell to 19-8 at home with a loss against Milwaukee on Friday, its second straight loss at home and going back to mid-January, three of their last four home losses have come against teams either first or second in their respective conferences. Despite the loss against Milwaukee, Dallas is still 9-2 ATS as a home underdog this season while going a perfect 5-0 ATS when getting fewer than three points. Additionally, the Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. 10* (542) Dallas Mavericks |

02-09-19 | Washington v. Arizona State -1 | Top | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Washington which has stormed out of the gates a perfect 10-0 in the Pac 12 and it has covered every one of those games as well. The Huskies are coming off a win at Arizona on Friday to keep their unblemished record alive and they are a heavy consensus tonight coming in as a one-point underdog. Despite what they have accomplished, they are not even ranked in the AP Top 25 and are projected as just a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. There are four teams trailing Washington at 6-4 and one of those is Arizona St. which is coming off a 21-point loss at home against Washington St. as a 15-point favorite so there was a clear lookahead to this one. The Sun Devils have prospered in these spots in the past as they are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. Additionally, Arizona St. is 7-0 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage of .800 or better. 10* (766) Arizona St. Sun Devils |

02-09-19 | Hornets -2.5 v. Hawks | Top | 129-120 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Charlotte is coming off a pair of losses to snap a two-game winning streak and it has fallen back to two games under .500. The Hornets still control the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference and these are the games they have done well in. Their problem has been playing the top teams as they are 5-19 against teams ranked in the top 16 in the power rankings and those five wins are by far the fewest of any playoff contending team. Charlotte is 21-9 against teams ranked below that. Atlanta lost at home against Toronto in its last game which also snapped a two-game winning streak and at this put, it is all about the future. The Hawks shook up their roster before the break and all were minor moves mostly to create room moving forward. Atlanta is playing with revenge from a 14-point loss in the last meeting but the Hawks are 3-11 ATS in 14 home games revenging a road loss this season. 10* (523) Charlotte Hornets |
|||||||
02-08-19 | Bucks v. Mavs +8 | Top | 122-107 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Dallas remains on the outside in the Western Conference playoff picture as its road play continues to hamper it. The Mavericks are just 6-21 on the highway compared to 19-7 at home and they are catching a big number tonight against the top team from the East. They also have a new look after a number of trades before the deadline yesterday. Dallas is 9-1 ATS this season as a home underdog, the only non-cover coming in its first game against Utah so it has rattled off nine straight. Additionally, the Mavericks are 10-1 ATS this season in its 11 home games following a win. Milwaukee has won five straight games to remain atop the Eastern Conference, a game and a half clear of Toronto. The Bucks are a respectable 17-9 on the road but they are just 10-8-2 ATS as road favorites. Milwaukee will rest Kris Middleton tonight who is averaging 17.3 ppg. 10* (510) Dallas Mavericks |

02-08-19 | St. Louis -2.5 v. St. Joe's | Top | 61-91 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BILLIKENS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. St. Louis opened the season 5-0 in the Atlantic Ten but then suffered four straight losses, three coming by four points or less, before snapping the skid this past Tuesday with a 13-point win over Dayton to get some momentum back. The Billikens are 2.5 games out of first place and these are the games it can ill afford to lose. St. Louis is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games against teams shooting 42 percent or worse while going 21-6 ATS in its last 27 games after playing two consecutive games as an underdog. St. Joes has lost three of its last four games and is 3-4 since second leading scorer Lamarr Kimble went down with a hand injury. One of those wins came over Davidson, which is the only conference loss for the Wildcats, it was the first game without Kimble and those are the situations where teams step up when a star is gone for the first time. The Hawks are 2-8 ATS as underdogs this season while going 1-4 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a losing road record. 10* (851) St. Louis Billikens |

02-07-19 | South Florida v. SMU -5 | Top | 67-66 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. We waited on this game until getting confirmation for the status of Alexis Yetna (13.0 ppg, 9.8 rpg), who sustained a leg injury after being fouled on a drive to the basket in the Bulls last game Saturday. He came in as questionable and will now most likely be out tonight and that is a big loss for the Bulls. It has been a special season for USF as a victory against SMU would put the program 10 games above .500 in a season for the first time since March 1992. Additionally, USF already has won more AAC games than it has in the six-year history of the conference. The spot is a tough one tonight however as SMU has lost two games in a row but was within a possession of Cincinnati on the road Saturday before the Bearcats pulled away in the final 33 seconds for a 73-68. The Mustangs are 4-1 in their last five home games with the lone loss coming against No. 12 Houston which is 21-1 on the season. SMU is 29-15 ATS in its last 44 games coming off a road cover where it lost straight up as an underdog while USF is 14-28 ATS in its last 42 games as a road underdog of 3.5 to 6 points. 10* (646) SMU Mustangs |

02-06-19 | Baylor v. Texas -3 | Top | 72-84 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Big things were expected for Texas this season but it has been a rough go as inconsistency has been a real problem. Part of the issue has been the schedule as the Longhorns have played the second toughest schedule in the country according to the RPI and they have suffered some brutal losses. Eight of their 10 defeats have come by six points or less. Baylor has been one of the hottest teams in the Big XII as it has won six straight games including five straight within the conference to improve to 6-2. However, four of those wins came against the four worst teams in the conference. Baylor has played the easiest schedule in the Big XII as it is ranked No. 66 in the nation. The Bears have owned this series with six straight wins but those were with much better Baylor teams against much worse Texas teams. 10* (808) Texas Longhorns |
|||||||
02-06-19 | Nuggets -2 v. Nets | Top | 130-135 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. After a five-game winning streak, Denver layed an egg in Detroit on Monday, trailing by as many as 29 points and losing by 26 points. The loss coupled with the Golden St. win dropped the Nuggets a half-game behind the Warriors in the Western Conference and with a game at Philadelphia on deck Friday, this is a needed win. Brooklyn made a big push up the Eastern Conference standings with a 19-5 run but has lost four of its last five games including three in a row. The Nets have done their damage when favored as they have won 14 of 15 games when laying points but they are just 14-26 as underdogs. Additionally, the Nets are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off a road loss by 10 points or more, in February games. This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (559) Denver Nuggets |
|||||||
02-05-19 | Raptors v. 76ers -4.5 | Top | 119-107 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. Toronto easily defeated the Clippers on Sunday to improve to 22-5 at home but it is a much less inspiring 16-11 on the road and it will once again be without point guard Kyle Lowry. He missed Sunday due to lingering back pain and while an unconfirmed report came out saying he will miss the rest of the season, that is not the case but it is bad enough that he will not be back tonight. The Raptors are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 road games. Philadelphia concluded ca four-game roadtrip with a bad loss at Sacramento but it came just two days after defeating Golden St. so the letdown was imminent. Philadelphia fell to back under .500 with that defeat but it heads back home where it is 21-5 and needs these games to climb back up the standings as the Sixers are currently tied for third place with Boston and Indiana in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers are 25-11 ATS in their last 36 home games against teams with a winning road record. 10* (554) Philadelphia 76ers |
|||||||
02-05-19 | NC State +10.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 96-113 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. NC State has encountered a two-game losing streak, including Saturday's historically awful effort in a 47-24 home loss to Virginia Tech. It was the lowest point total for a Power Five team in the shot-clock era, along with a list of other historic lows. The Wolfpack managed only 10 points in the second half while shooting just 16.7 percent overall including going 2-28 from long range. This was quite the opposite effort than in their previous game where they took Virginia to overtime. The Wolfpack are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. North Carolina has won five straight games and are clearly overvalued here based on recent results. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points coming off an upset loss by 15 or more points as a home favorite going up against an opponent off a road win. This situation is 42-12 ATS (77.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (629) NC State Wolfpack |
|||||||
02-04-19 | Iowa State v. Oklahoma +3 | Top | 75-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA SOONERS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Oklahoma is coming off a pair of losses last week as after an embarrassing 30-point home loss to Baylor, it could not recover at West Virginia as it lost by eight points on Saturday to the Mountaineers which came in 1-7 in the Big XII. The Sooners defense has been a letdown over these two losses but it remains a strength as opponents are shooting 39.6 percent from the field, the second lowest opponent field goal percentage in the conference and 18th nationally. The Sooners rank 17th according to the Ken Pomeroy adjusted defensive efficiency. Oklahoma is 19-8 ATS in its last 27 games after playing a road game. Iowa St. is on a three-game winning streak to remain a half-game out of first place in the Big XII. The Cyclones head to Norman as just the second top-25 team to face the Sooners at Lloyd Noble Center this season. Oklahoma has won four of its last five home games against ranked opponents and has defeated the Cyclones in five of the last six meetings in Norman. Going back, Iowa St. is 6-18 ATS in its last 24 games as a road favorite of three points or less. 10* (856) Oklahoma Sooners |
|||||||
02-04-19 | Hawks v. Wizards -6 | Top | 137-129 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Washington is 2.5 games out the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference but has lost three of the past four games, including a 131-115 decision to Milwaukee at home on Saturday. The Wizards started the season 1-7 and haven't hit .500 at any point this season. They are 15-10 at home though and they have not lost at home to a team with a losing record since December 28th. The Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. Atlanta is coming ff a win against Phoenix Saturday but winning streaks have been few and far between. The Hawks have been on an extended road trip because of the Super Bowl being played in Atlanta and will return home after tonight and this has been a grueling trek with a ton of miles throughout the west coast. The Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a game committing 13 or more turnovers than opponent. This situation is 62-25 ATS (71.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (534) Washington Wizards |

02-03-19 | Stanford v. California +6 | Top | 84-81 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. California is winless in the Pac 12 at 0-8, part of a nine-game losing streak, and has failed to cover its last seven games. The linesmakers are taking this into consideration here as the Golden Bears are undervalued against a team that is not much better. After his team's loss to Utah, head coach Wyking Jones cited that he and his staff would recruit Monday and Tuesday, players were to participate in individual workouts on these days, give the team Wednesday off, then reconvene Thursday, Friday and Saturday. He said the team needed a break and that can do wonders. Stanford won at home against Colorado last Saturday but it has not won consecutive games since mid-December when it defeated Eastern Washington and San Jose St. which are a combined 10-31 and since then the Cardinals have lost four straight games following a victory. Additionally, the Cardinal are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, we play on home teams after failing to cover the spread in seven or more consecutive games. This situation is 39-13 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (834) California Golden Bears |
|||||||
02-02-19 | Oregon v. Colorado +1 | Top | 51-73 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO BUFFALOES for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. Colorado is coming off a loss against Oregon St. on Thursday which was its second straight loss as well as its second straight loss at home after a 7-0 start in Boulder. The Buffaloes have opened a disappointing 2-6 in the Pac 12 but the linesmakers are taking that into consideration here with this number and going back, Colorado is 20-8 ATS in its last 28 games as a home underdog or pickem. Oregon meanwhile is coming off a win at Utah which was its second straight victory to move back to .500 in the conference. This has been a home dominated series of late with the host taking the last eight meetings and the Ducks are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (760) Colorado Buffaloes |
|||||||
02-02-19 | Nets +2 v. Magic | Top | 89-102 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Brooklyn lost in San Antonio two nights ago to make it two straight losses on the road and it has fallen back to two games under .500 on the highway. The Nets are 7-6 in their last 13 road games and all six of those losses have come against teams currently residing in playoff positions. Brooklyn is 8-0 ATS in its last eight road games after allowing 110 points or more in three straight games. Orlando took care of Indiana on Thursday to snap a four-game losing streak as well as a four-game home losing skid. The Magic are just 11-15 at home so there is not much of a home court edge here and going back, they are is 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games as home favorites of six points or less. Here, we play on underdogs with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after having won five or six of their last seven games, playing a losing team. This situation is 36-14 ATS (72 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (503) Brooklyn Nets |
|||||||
02-01-19 | Thunder v. Heat +5 | Top | 118-102 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Miami had won two straight games to get back to .500 on the season but did not show up against Chicago on Wednesday as it lost by 16 points at home as a 10.5-point favorite. That puts the Heat in a great spot tonight as teams coming off embarrassing losses tend to bounce back big times, especially one against a team with the second worst record in the Eastern Conference. Additionally, the Heat are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Oklahoma City has won six straight games including a win at Orlando on Wednesday as part of this Florida trip and this can be a tough trek for teams that head to South Beach. The Thunder head to Boston for a game on Sunday so there is the chance of a lookahead as well. Here, we play on home underdogs in the second half of the season that are coming off an upset loss as a home favorite. This situation is 43-16 ATS (72.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (586) Miami Heat |

01-31-19 | UTEP v. Marshall -9.5 | Top | 86-91 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD as part of our Thursday Trifecta. While we are playing against the team that won by 50 points, we are also playing on the team that lost by 50 points in that matchup. Marshall had no answer for Southern Mississippi as it lost 101-51 as that was its worst offensive game of the season including lows for points, field goals (15), field goal percentage (25.0 percent) and three-point field goal percentage (20.0 percent). That was the end of a brutal stretch where the Thundering Herd were playing their third straight road game in a span of six days. UTEP won just its second conference game on Saturday as it defeated 5-15 Charlotte by four points. The only other C-USA victory came by only one point against 8-13 Rice. The Miners are winless on the road at 0-7, losing those games by an average of nearly 15 ppg. Here, we play against underdogs in the second half of the season allowing between 67 and 74 ppg going up against teams allowing 78 or more, after a win by six points or less. This situation is 30-9 ATS (76.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (632) Marshall Thundering Herd |

01-31-19 | Mavs v. Pistons -2 | Top | 89-93 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
This is a play on the DETROIT PISTONS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Dallas picked up a rare road win last night as it won for just the fifth time away from home. The Mavericks have not won consecutive road games this season and the follow up results have been awful with the four road losses following the road wins coming by 10, 11, 21 and 12 points. Additionally, the Mavericks have been unable to solve playing with no rest on the highway as they are 0-7 this season when playing the second of a back-to-back game on the road. Detroit has lost two straight games with the latest coming at home against top seeded Milwaukee and the game before that on the road in Dallas which sets up a quick turnaround revenge spot. It has been a tough season for the Pistons but despite being seven games under .500, they are just 2.5 games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They are just one game over .500 at home and because of that, they are laying a short number which is a big edge as the favorite is 38-13 in Detroit games this season with Detroit winning 12 of 16 games in this position. 10* (572) Detroit Pistons |

01-30-19 | Hawks v. Kings -5.5 | Top | 113-135 | Win | 100 | 14 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Kings are back home after a 2-4 roadtrip, both wins coming against non-playoff teams and all four losses coming against teams that would qualify for the playoffs. Sacramento is 14-10 at home and of those 10 losses, none have come against a team with a losing record and with the exception of a loss against the Lakers back in November when LeBron James was playing, every home loss has comes against teams sitting in a playoff spot. It has been consistent as Sacramento is 16-5 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record this season. When favored, the Kings are 10-2 ATS and they are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last six home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Hawks picked up a rare win over the Clippers two nights ago and while they have been more consistent since opening the season 6-23, this is not a good spot as they have lost five straight games following a win and by an average of 9.4 ppg. Additionally, the Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win. 10* (566) Sacramento Kings |

01-30-19 | Indiana -1.5 v. Rutgers | Top | 58-66 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS as part of our Wednesday Trifecta. Indiana opened Big Ten play with three straight wins but it has been a struggle since then as the Hoosiers have lost their last six games as the schedule has not been in their favor. Four of the six losses came on the road and all six have come against teams with winning record including having to play Michigan twice. Despite this, Indiana is still in the NCAA Tournament mix but a loss here would devastating especially with a game at Michigan St. on deck. While currently flawed, Indiana is still in the top 50 in the power rankings and owns three top 100 wins. Rutgers has won two straight games as significant underdogs but this is still a pretty bad team. An already struggling offense has found new lows since the start of January, and what is overall a reliable defense has faltered against the Big Ten. Add to that an inconsistent offense and it welcomes Indiana at the wrong time. 10* (797) Indiana Hoosiers |

01-29-19 | 76ers -7 v. Lakers | Top | 121-105 | Win | 100 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. This line came out late in most places due to the myriad of injuries that the Lakers are dealing with. LeBron James is out at least one more game, Lonzo Ball will miss his fourth straight game with an ankle injury, Josh Hart looks doubtful with knee issues and Kyle Kuzma, the second best player on this team, is questionable after missing the last game. Los Angeles did win last time out despite the limited roster but that came against Phoenix and since James went down, it is 6-10 in 16 games with only one win coming against a team with a winning record. The Sixers were on a 5-1 run heading to Denver but their own injuries got in the way of what would have been a great matchup but Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler both missed the game as they lost by 16 points. Both are back tonight and this is a tune up before playing Golden St. on Thursday. The Sixers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season with a scoring differential between +3 and +7 going up against a team with a scoring differential between +3 and -3, after allowing 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (551) Philadelphia 76ers |

01-29-19 | Mississippi State v. Alabama -1.5 | Top | 79-83 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
This is a play on the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. We played on Alabama a week ago and we are backing them again here in a similar situational matchup. The Crimson Tide are 3-3 in the SEC, including a buzzer-beater loss at the hands of Texas A&M and a road loss to No. 1 Tennessee by three points. Alabama is 7-2 at home with the two losses coming by a combined four points and included in the wins are victories against Kentucky and Arizona. Alabama is currently tied with LSU and Mississippi St. in the SEC for most total wins against Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2 opponents with eight. Overall, the Crimson Tide are 8-3, and have just one loss against Q2 teams. They are back home after that loss against Baylor on Saturday. Mississippi St. is coming off what could be considered an upset as it defeated Auburn by eight points as a pickem at home. The Bulldogs are just 2-2 on the road with the wins coming against Dayton and Vanderbilt, both of which are ranked well below Alabama. The Tide are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning straight up record while the Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. 10* (630) Alabama Crimson Tide |

01-28-19 | TCU v. Texas Tech -4.5 | Top | 65-84 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Texas Tech dropped consecutive Big XII games against Iowa St., Baylor and Kansas St. before notching a 67-64 victory over Arkansas on Saturday in the Big XII/SEC Challenge. The Red Raiders are hoping to keep that momentum going to improve upon their 4-3 record in the conference as they are a game out of first place heading into tonight. Texas Tech has failed to cover its last four games so the contrarian play here is aided by line value and going back, it is 17-5 ATS in its last 22 home games after failing to cover six or seven of its last eight games against the spread. TCU has won two straight games as it defeated Texas in its most recent Big XII game and followed that up with a win over Florida on Saturday. The Horned Frogs are 3-3 in the conference but all three of those losses came on the road and their only road victory this season came at SMU in a non-conference game. Going back, TCU is 13-27 ATS in its last 40 games in the second half of the season against teams allowing 39 percent or better shooting from the floor. 10* (856) Texas Tech Red Raiders |

01-28-19 | Warriors v. Pacers +9.5 | Top | 132-100 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. We played against Golden St. on Saturday as it escaped against the Celtics no thanks to an offensive rebound on a missed free throw with 8.6 seconds left to secure a four-point win and cover. The Warriors have now won 10 straight games as well as nine straight games on the road but after laying 3.5 points against Boston, they are laying a minimum of five points more against a team that has a better record than Boston and is just two points behind the Celtics in the updated power rankings. The loss of Victor Oladipo is a big one for sure but he is not worth the line adjustment that has been made here and the Pacers still have a loaded roster. While they have struggled against the top ten teams in the league with just seven wins, we are not asking them to win here, just stay competitive. Indiana is 17-5 ATS in its last 22 games as a home underdog of 6.5 to 12 points while Golden St. is 4-16 ATS in 20 games this season as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points. Additionally, we play on home underdogs coming off an upset loss as a favorite, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 38-13 ATS (74.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (530) Indiana Pacers |

01-27-19 | Raptors -4 v. Mavs | Top | 123-120 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. The Raptors, now 15-11 on the road, will look to snap a two-game skid against one of the better home teams in the league, despite Dallas being out of the Western Conference playoff mix. Toronto lost in Indiana and Houston by four and two points respectively and it will look to end a three-game road losing streak. Of the 11 road losses for the Raptors, only one has come against a team with a losing record and that came in Orlando without Kyle Lowry. Following close wins against the Clippers and the Pistons on Friday, the Mavericks own an 18-6 home mark, tied for the second-fewest home losses in the Western Conference. Certainly that is significant but the Mavericks struggled in their latest tough home tests, losing to Golden St. and San Antonio two weeks ago. Dallas is just 7-10 against the top ten power ranked teams while Toronto is 26-6 against teams ranked outside the top ten. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season with a scoring differential between +3 and +7 going up against a team with a scoring differential between +3 and -3, after allowing 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 31-8 ATS (79.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (517) Toronto Raptors |

01-27-19 | Seton Hall +8.5 v. Villanova | Top | 52-80 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the SETON HALL PIRATES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Seton Hall has lost three straight and four of its last five games but the schedule did not help as those five games came in a span of 14 days. Head coach Kevin Willard called conference scheduling absurd prior to the DePaul loss, saying it put his team at a competitive disadvantage and you cannot blame him. The good news is the Pirates have been off since last Saturday and going back, they Pirates are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 road games off an upset loss as a home favorite while going 6-0 ATS in road games against teams outscoring their opponents by eight or more ppg this season. Villanova has turned the corner after a shaky start to the season as it has won seven straight games including its first six in the Big East to take early control with Marquette looming. This will be a challenge despite Villanova having gone 16-0 at home against Seton Hall since 1994. The Pirates are looking like a potential NCAA Tournament team, having beaten St. Johns and Xavier within the conference and boasting a 9-3 non-conference record with wins over Kentucky and Maryland. 10* (831) Seton Hall Pirates |

01-26-19 | Warriors v. Celtics +3.5 | Top | 115-111 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. With DeMarcus Cousins back on the court, not many are going to be stepping in front of the Warriors as they have looked dominant in his three games. Overall, Golden St. has won nine straight games as it is finally back in the form that was expected all season but now comes another true test and it has not passed the test so far. The Warriors have played just 12 games against teams ranked in the top ten, the second fewest of teams ranked within the top ten, and they have gone just 4-8 in those games. Boston has won five straight games and it gets Kyrie Irving back tonight after he missed the last game with an illness. The Celtics got off to a slow start this season but are 20-8 over their last 28 games including 10 straight wins at home. Boston has thrived in this spot as it is 10-1 ATS in 11 games as a home underdog dating back to last season. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams allowing between 43.5 and 45.5 percent shooting, after a game where it made 55 percent of their shots or better. This situation is 28-6 ATS (82.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) Boston Celtics |

01-26-19 | Washington v. Oregon State -2 | Top | 79-69 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON ST. BEAVERS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. We played against Washington on Thursday as it dominated the first half against Oregon and held on for a five-point win. The Huskies are now a perfect 6-0 straight up and against the number in the Pac 12 and they are catching roughly the same number here as they were against Oregon which makes this intriguing considering the Beavers are ranked much lower in the power rankings than the Ducks. Oregon St. is coming off a 13-point win over Washington St. on Thursday and while that is not saying much, it does own impressive home wins over USC and UCLA and overall, the Beavers are 8-1 at home on the season. Oregon St. is 11-3 this season when favored and it has covered three of four home games against teams with a winning record and the Beavers have covered their last four games at home. 10* (670) Oregon St. Beavers |

01-25-19 | Butler v. Creighton -2.5 | Top | 61-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Creighton is 11-8 overall and 2-4 in the Big East while having played the nation's ninth-toughest schedule, having already played 12 teams that won 21 games or more a year ago. The Bluejays are one of the best shooting teams in the country as they are second nationally in three-point percentage (.431), third in total three-pointers (231), third in three-pointers made per game (12.2) and fifth in field goal percentage (.505). While this might be considered a letdown for Creighton considering it is coming off a win at Georgetown as an underdog, the Bluejays are in full revenge mode here from a loss at Butler by 15 points just 20 days ago. Creighton is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 home games after allowing 80 points or more. The Bulldogs are coming off a loss against Villanova and they hit the road where they are just 1-4 with the lone victory coming against DePaul. Butler is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games against teams shooting 48 percent or better while going 2-12 ATS in its last 14 road games after playing a home game. 10* (858) Creighton Bluejays |

01-25-19 | Wizards v. Magic -3.5 | Top | 95-91 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Orlando is coming off a loss in Brooklyn on Wednesday to make it a 1-4 run but three of those losses came by four points or less and the Magic are in a great spot tonight to win going away. Aaron Gordon was a non-factor against the Nets after missing two games with a sore back but we expect him to be a big contributor tonight after playing just 24 minutes. The Magic are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a losing road record. Washington has had a tough season from the start and with John Wall out for the season, there is little to no hope of any possible success. The Wizards are coming off a six-game homestand culminating with a loss against Golden St. last night which was a game they were clearly up for which presents a letdown tonight. Washington is 4-12 ATS as a road underdog this season while going 3-15 ATS in 18 road games against teams allowing 10 or more ppg. 10* (566) Orlando Magic |

01-24-19 | Washington v. Oregon -2.5 | Top | 61-56 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Washington is off to a perfect 5-0 start in the Pac 12 and it has covered all of those games as well. Four of the five victories have come by double-digits including one of two conference games played on the road. While the Huskies start in conference play is impressive, it has also come against some of the weaker teams in the Pac 12 as none of five wins have come against teams ranked in the top 99 of the latest NCAA Net Rankings. Going back, the Huskies are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while going 3-12 ATS in their last 15 road games after two straight wins by 15 points or more. Oregon upset Arizona on the road last Thursday but letdown the next game as it lost at Arizona St. two days later by 14 points. Overall, it has been a disappointing season for the Ducks but this is a chance for another quality win. Oregon is 20-9 ATS in its last 29 games against teams outscoring their opponents by four or more ppg in the second half of the season while going 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games following a loss. 10* (654) Oregon Ducks |

01-24-19 | Pelicans +12 v. Thunder | Top | 116-122 | Win | 100 | 12 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Oklahoma City has won three straight games and what normally would have been a great matchup has lost some of the sizzle with New Orleans struggling and Anthony Davis being out. The Thunder defeated Portland on Tuesday to take sole possession of third place in the Western Conference by one game over the Blazers and that coupled with an upcoming game against the Eastern Conference-leading Bucks puts them in a tough spot tonight in trying to avoid a letdown. Oklahoma City is 8-20 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points over the last two seasons. The Pelicans are coming off a loss against Detroit last night as they had no answer for Blake Griffin with Davis sidelined. The matchup is definitely better tonight and as bad as New Orleans has been on the road with a 7-19 record, it has been outscored by just 1.3 ppg and only six of those 19 losses were by double-digits. The Pelicans are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss. Here, we play against home teams in the second half of the season shooting between 45.5 and 47.5 percent going up against a team allowing between 45.5 and 47.5 percent shooting, after two straight games shooting 50 percent or better. This situation is 91-42 ATS (68.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (559) New Orleans Pelicans |

01-23-19 | Hornets v. Grizzlies -1 | Top | 118-107 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. Memphis is in a tailspin as it has lost six straight games and 12c of its last 13 games and while there are no excuses, the Grizzlies have played a brutal schedule over this stretch. They have faced Boston twice, Houston twice, San Antonio twice as well as playing Toronto and Milwaukee. Overall, they have played the toughest schedule in the NBA as 32 of their 47 games have come against the top 16 in the league. The Grizzlies are 16-7-1 ATS in their last 24 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Charlotte opened the season by winning its first two road games but it is 4-16 on the highway since then and the Hornets have covered just two of their last 10 games on the road. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are shooting between 43.5 and 45.5 percent from the floor after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots going up against a team allowing between 43.5 and 45.5 percent shooting from the floor. This situation is 52-23 ATS (69.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (554) Memphis Grizzlies |

This is a play on the GEORGIA BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Georgia has lost three straight games to fall to 1-4 in the SEC but the schedule has been a brutal one. The Bulldogs four losses came against Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky and Florida and while this is another tough foe, the linemakers have taken that into consideration. They were on a 7-1 ATS run and going back, the Bulldogs are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games following a double-digit loss at home. LSU has started conference play 4-0 but only one of those was a quality win and now it is laying its biggest number in SEC play. The Tigers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Here, we play on road teams as an underdog or pickem with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 coming off three straight losses against conference rivals, playing a winning team. This situation is 61-26 ATS (70.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (805) Georgia Bulldogs |

This is a play on the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. The Rebels have won 11 of its last 12 games and has beaten solid conference opponents Mississippi St. and Auburn along the way. The Rebels are coming off a dominating win over Arkansas on Saturday which made up for that lone loss with came against LSU by 14 points. The Crimson Tide have gone 2-3 in the SEC, including a buzzer-beater loss at the hands of Texas A&M and a road loss to Tennessee this past Saturday by three points. Alabama is 6-2 at home with the two losses coming by a combined four points and included in the wins are victories against Kentucky and Arizona. Alabama is currently tied with LSU and Mississippi St. in the SEC for most total wins against Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2 opponents with seven. Overall, the Crimson Tide are 7-3, and undefeated against Q2 teams. The Alabama winning percentage is also tied for second-best behind Tennessee, who leads with .857 so this team is underrated right now. the Crimson Tide are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a winning road record. 10* (638) Alabama Crimson Tide |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. It has been an up and down season for both Los Angeles and Dallas and for different reasons. We played on the Clippers on Sunday as they went into San Antonio and won outright as 9.5-point underdogs to snap a five-game losing streak and have now moved back up to seventh place in the Western Conference. Injuries have been the problem even though they overcame it Sunday as Lou Williams and Danilo Gallinari remain out. They account for a combined 37.7 ppg. The Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Dallas is riding a four-game losing streak but three of those came against the Bucks, Warriors and Pacers, all ranked in the top five and the other was against San Antonio. The problem for the Mavericks is they cannot win away from home as their 4-20 road record is tied with Phoenix for worse in the league. Dallas is 7-0 ATS at home when playing six or less games in 14 days this season. Here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points and coming off an upset win as an underdog. This situation is 187-118 ATS (61.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (534) Dallas Mavericks |

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Sixers look to shake off a loss against Oklahoma City on Saturday which was its second loss at home in its last three games following am 18-3 start. They now trail Toronto by 4.5 games in the Atlantic Division. Going back, Philadelphia is 26-10 ATS in its last 36 home games against teams with a losing road record. Houston hits the road following a pair of overtime wins to close out its three-game homestand including a win over the Lakers to improve to 17-7 at home but the Rockets are just 9-12 on the highway and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season that possess a scoring differential between +3 and +7 going up against a team with a scoring differential between +3 and -3, after scoring 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 45-19 ATS (70.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (524) Philadelphia 76ers |

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. We played on Charlotte back on 12/18 against East Carolina with a big factor being the improved defense under new head coach Ron Sanchez who brought in the same system as Virginia where was an assistant coach. While it has taken some time, that unit is starting to gel and the 49ers are coming off their best defensive game of the season as they held Louisiana Tech to 40 points on 27.8 percent shooting. The 49ers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. Old Dominion defeated Southern Miss by 18 points which was its third straight win while snapping a three-game ATS losing skid. The Monarchs are 3-2 on the road but have failed to cover their last two, losing outright at Florida Atlantic as a favorite of seven points and defeating Florida International by just one point. The Monarchs are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, e play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .200 and .400 off a double digit win as a underdog of six or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 47-17 ATS (73.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (852) Charlotte 49ers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Once atop the Western Conference, the Clippers are in a freefall as they have lost five straight games and are now in eighth place in the conference, just percentage points ahead of the Lakers. This includes four straight losses at home but going back, the Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. San Antonio has won two straight games, a pair of road victories against Dallas and Minnesota as underdogs. The Spurs have been on a solid long run but they are completely overpriced here as the last meeting here a month ago, they were favored by just three points. They are just 3-6 ATS on the season when favored by six or more points and here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 coming off two or more consecutive wins as a road underdog. This situation is 90-49 ATS (64.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (505) Los Angeles Clippers |

This is a play on the MISSOURI ST. BEARS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Missouri St. is coming off a home loss on Wednesday against Evansville as it shot just 39.7 percent from the floor including going only 3-16 (18.8 percent) from long range. That stopped some positive momentum as the Bears has won their previous two games, both on the road, against Indiana St. and Bradley. They have been favored in the last six meetings against Drake but are now catching points. The Bulldogs won at Bradley by 17 points on Wednesday as four-point underdogs but they are just 2-3 in the conference. They suffered a huge loss earlier this month with graduate transfer point guard Nick Norton going down for the season with a knee injury. He was their leading scorer with 15.5 ppg at the time while also leading the team in assists. 10* (825) Missouri St. Bears |

01-19-19 | Mavs v. Pacers -6.5 | Top | 99-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We backed the Pacers in their most recent game and they were trounced by Philadelphia by 24 points. This is a good bounce back spot however and they are catching a good number as well. Despite that most recent setback, Indiana has won nine of its last 11 games at home and overall, the Pacers are outscoring opponents by 8.7 ppg here. Going back, Indiana is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 games off a home loss by 10 points or more. Dallas was 16-4 at home heading into a tough two-game stretch against San Antonio and Golden St. and the Mavericks failed on both occasions even though both games were close. They hit the road where it has been a struggle all season as Dallas is 4-18 which is tied for the second worst road record in the league. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are shooting 48 percent or better on the season, after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 167-110 ATS (60.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (574) Indiana Pacers |

01-19-19 | Northern Iowa v. Valparaiso -4 | Top | 66-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the VALPARAISO CRUSADERS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Valparaiso did not have a good transition from the Horizon League to the MVC as it finished in last place in its inaugural season. Things are on the way up however as the Crusaders are off to a 4-1 start in conference action and they look to bounce back following a loss at Loyola-Chicago by 17 points on Tuesday. That snapped a five-game winning streak and heading back home following two straight road games puts them in a great spot. Northern Iowa used to dominate the MVC but it finished send to late place last season and not much is expected this year either. The Panthers are coming off a pair of wins against Drake and Indiana St. but those were at home where they possess bad losses against Grand Canyon and Stony Brook. Northern Iowa is 1-4 on the road and going back, it is 5-15-1 ATS in its last 21 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (682) Valparaiso Crusaders |

01-18-19 | Nets v. Magic +1 | Top | 117-115 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Orlando is coming off an overtime loss at Detroit on Wednesday which snapped a two-game winning streak. The home team has had the edge of late, going 10-1 in the last 11 games for the Magic and this includes a current four-game home winning streak for Orlando. The Magic are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a losing road record. Brooklyn meanwhile has won two straight games and both were impressive victories against Boston and Houston, the latter coming on the road in overtime on Wednesday. It has been an impressive run for the Nets which are 15-5 over their last 20 games and while this includes a 6-4 record on the road, three of those wins came against the Bulls (twice) and the Knicks. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 103 or more ppg on the season, after a win by three points or less. This situation is 109-55 ATS (66.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (554) Orlando Magic |

01-18-19 | Maryland v. Ohio State -2.5 | Top | 75-61 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. The Buckeyes have lost three consecutive games for the first time under second-year coach Chris Holtmann with the last two coming on the road. Ohio St. is 8-2 at home with the two losses being quality ones against Syracuse and Michigan St. and the goal tonight is to clean up the mistakes as it turned the ball over 34 times the past two games, including a season-high 21 vs. Iowa. Another key struggle area for Ohio St. has been the foul trouble of its top scorer, sophomore forward Kaleb Wesson so keeping him on the floor is huge. Ohio St. is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 home games after failing to cover four of its last five games. Maryland is a team trending very much in the opposite direction as after a tough loss to Seton Hall at the end of December, the Terrapins have rattled off six straight wins to work their way into the Top 25. They have had only two road games over this stretch and now comes their biggest test. Despite being ranked, we like the fact Maryland is the underdog here and Ohio St. gets the much needed victory to turn its season around. 10* (852) Ohio St. Buckeyes |

01-17-19 | UTEP v. UAB -7.5 | Top | 63-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the UAB BLAZERS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. UAB opened the conference season with a pair of wins over Florida Atlantic and Florida International but lost both games last week on the road to fall to 2-2 in C-USA. The Blazers are back home where they are 8-1 with the lone defeat coming against Troy by just one-point. They are extremely balanced with seven players averaging between 6.6 and 12.4 ppg and going back, the Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss. UTEP snapped a three-game losing streak with an unimpressive one-point win over Rice on Saturday, considered by most as the worst team in the conference. That was the third straight home game for the Miners where they are 6-4 but they hit the road after dropping their first five games by an average of close to 18 ppg. The Miners are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games following three or more consecutive home games. 10* (636) UAB Blazers |

01-16-19 | Raptors v. Celtics -2 | Top | 108-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. This line came out late because of the Kyrie Irving injury situation but he is now probable. Toronto has won five straight games to take over first place in the Eastern Conference, one game in front of Milwaukee. One of those wins came on the road against the Bucks, the first of two straight road wins but the Raptors are just 3-5 in their last eight road games. Additionally, the Raptors are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Boston is back home following a three-game roadtrip where it dropped all three games and it is now seven games behind the Raptors in the Atlantic Division. The Celtics have won six straight home games and they have had success against the elite teams, going 17-5-1 ATS in their last 23 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 61-23 ATS (72.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (530) Boston Celtics |

01-16-19 | Boston College +11.5 v. Louisville | Top | 70-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Louisville is coming off a monumental upset as it went to Chapel Hill and beat North Carolina by 21 points as an 11-point underdog. It was even more shocking considering its previous game resulted in a loss against Pittsburgh, a team that did not win a single conference game last season. The Cardinals are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. Boston College has opened 0-3 in the ACC but two of those games came against Virginia and Virginia Tech, two top ten teams, while the other came at Notre Dame, which is a difficult venue, by just three points. The Eagles have covered all five games away from home this season and they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games after having lost four of their last five games. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points off a road cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog going up against an opponent off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 73-36 ATS (67 percent) since 1997. 10* (797) Boston College Eagles |

01-15-19 | Warriors v. Nuggets +2 | Top | 142-111 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. First place in the Western Conference is on the line tonight when Golden St. visits Denver and the Nuggets continue to get no respect with the public right there with them as Golden St. is a heavy consensus. Denver has the best home record in the NBA at 18-3 including 12 straight wins and it is 49-13at home since last season. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games against teams with a winning road record. One argument that will be made for Golden St. is the fact that it steps up in these big games against elite teams but that is actually not the case. The Warriors are 3-8 against teams ranked within the top 10 and those three wins are tied for fourth fewest in the league with Phoenix and Cleveland and ahead of only New York, Chicago and Atlanta. Additionally, they are one of only five teams ranked in the top 16 that have single-digit wins within that group. Conversely, Denver has 15 wins against the top 16 which is tied for second most in the NBA. The Warriors are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning home record. There is no intimidation here as Denver has actually won five of the last nine meetings. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after a game where they failed to cover the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 168-109 ATS (60.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (522) Denver Nuggets |

01-14-19 | Pelicans v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 121-117 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. New Orleans had some momentum going with three straight wins but lost at Minnesota last time out to fall to 5-17 on the road. Two of those wins during the winning streak came against Cleveland and since a rare road win in Toronto on November 11th, the Pelicans are 0-6 on the road against winning teams. Additionally, New Orleans is 3-13 ATS off a road loss this season while going 1-14 ATS against teams making 36 percent or more of their three-point attempts this season. The Clippers have dropped two straight games, one in Denver which was not surprising but the latest at home against Detroit was a bad one. They have fallen into fifth place in the Western Conference and need a bounce back win with games against Utah, Golden St. and San Antonio on deck. Despite the loss against the Pistons, the Clippers are 17-7 ATS as favorites this season and the Pelicans fall into a negative situation where we play against road underdogs with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 after a road game where both teams scored 100 or more points. This situation is 108-58 ATS (65.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (512) Los Angeles Clippers |

01-14-19 | Texas +7.5 v. Kansas | Top | 78-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. We played on Kansas last Wednesday as it defeated TCU but the matchup is more difficult tonight and the Jayhawks are laying a bucket more. They are coming off a win over Baylor on Saturday as they were outrebounded 44-26 with a lot of that due to the season-ending injury to junior center Udoka Azubuike. With Azubuike out, the Jayhawks lack mismatches the 7-footer created and they have trouble attacking teams from three-point range. While sitting at 14-2, six wins have been decided by six points or less, including two in overtime. Texas lost to eighth-ranked Texas Tech on Saturday, and there is no shame in that. But there is no winning in that, either. Playing well for a half or so will only get you a losing record in this conference. This roster is talented enough to compete with anyone but the Longhorns have underachieved at times, including losses to Radford and VCU. Guards Kerwin Roach (13.6 ppg), Matt Coleman (10.1) and Elijah Mitrou-Long (7.5) and forwards Jaxson Hayes (10.1) and Dylan Osetkowski (9.5) provide balanced scoring for Texas. Kansas is 2-12 ATS in its last 14 games of a conference road win. 10* (873) Texas Longhorns |

01-13-19 | Blazers v. Nuggets -4 | Top | 113-116 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Denver is coming off a brutal loss last night in Phoenix as its only lead was by one-point, it shot just 38.6 percent from the floor and committed 17 turnovers. This comes after a big home win over the Clippers on Thursday and the Nuggets return home where they have won 11 straight games, covering nine of those. That loss will get the focus back and this one is needed before hosting the Warriors on Tuesday who they lead by just a half-game in the Western Conference. The Nuggets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Portland has won four straight games and while there was a win over Houston in that mix, the last three have been rather unimpressive against three Eastern Conference teams with losing records. The Blazers have played seven of their last eight games at home and they are 8-10 on the highway this season, including 5-10 as an underdog. The Blazers are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (592) Denver Nuggets |

01-12-19 | St. Mary's v. Loyola Marymount +6.5 | Top | 71-60 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOYOLA-MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. When it comes to teams from smaller conferences, lines are sometimes based on names since bettors do not follow these teams very closely and that is the case here. St. Mary's is off to a 10-7 start and those seven losses are already more than they have had in each of the last three seasons. The slow start should not be a big surprise as the Gaels lost three starters from last season as well as five of their top seven scorers yet they are still a public favorite. Loyola-Marymount has not been prominent in a long time but this could be a special season with all five starters back. The Lions opened 5-0 for the first time since 2003 which included wins over Georgetown and UNLV and those came without Eli Scott who is starting to get back into form. They are 8-0 at home and going back are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a losing road record. Meanwhile, the Gaels are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (760) Loyola-Marymount Lions |

01-12-19 | Spurs v. Thunder -5 | Top | 112-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. The Spurs and Thunder meet for the second time in three days in this home-and-home after a wild double-overtime game on Thursday that saw San Antonio win 154-147. Oklahoma City has now lost three straight games with the last two being games it could have won in regulation and this is a great bounce back spot. The Thunder are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. San Antonio improved to 18-5 with that win but it is just 7-13 on the road and this is the third straight home-and-home since Christmas. The first two resulted in home wins followed by road losses at Denver and Memphis. The Spurs are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points going up against an opponent off a win as an underdog. This situation is 185-117 ATS (61.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (570) Oklahoma City Thunder |

01-11-19 | Bucks v. Wizards +6 | Top | 106-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. We played against Milwaukee on Wednesday as the Houston offense shot just 34.5 percent from the floor taking away the James Harden production and the Bucks took advantage of a big shooting night of their own. They are 10-7 on the road and while Milwaukee is 18-4 as a home favorite, it has won just seven of 13 games as a road favorite. The Bucks are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 road games after two or more consecutive wins. Washington has been stung by the injury bug but it has been playing better by going 4-2 in its last six games including a confidence-building win over Philadelphia on Wednesday. After a 0-3 start at home, the Wizards are 12-4 in their last 16 and they are 3-1 as home underdogs, the only loss coming against Boston in overtime. They are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games and fall into a solid situation where we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after having won four of their last five games, playing a team with a losing record. This situation is 101-55 ATS (64.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (546) Washington Wizards |

01-11-19 | Indiana +6 v. Maryland | Top | 75-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. The Hoosiers are coming off its first conference loss of the season as they were defeated in Michigan by 11 points on Sunday. Indiana is just 1-3 on the road but two of those losses came against the top two teams in the country while the third came by just one point at Arkansas. On Thursday, Hoosiers head coach Archie Miller said the team is hopeful it will have De'Ron Davis available in College Park and that will be a huge boost against the Maryland size advantage. The Hoosiers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. The Terrapins have won five straight games including a pair on the road in their last two to improve to 4-1 in the Big Ten. They do have a rebounding advantage but that it is as they are on the wrong side of effective offense and defense on both sides of the floor. Maryland does not force many turnovers and can be turnover prone because of its youth and decision making, so a performance similar to what the Hoosiers produced in Ann Arbor (season low 11.9 turnover percentage) is a clear key. The Terrapins are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. 10* (801) Indiana Hoosiers |

01-10-19 | Clippers v. Nuggets -5.5 | Top | 100-121 | Win | 100 | 14 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Western Conference remains wide open as 5.5-games separates first place and eighth place with Denver retaining its hold on the top spot. The Nuggets are coming off a win in Miami on Tuesday and are now 6-1 following a brief two-game slide which included a loss at the Clippers by 21 points. That is by far their biggest loss of the season so payback is in order tonight. Denver is 11-1 ATS in home games after one or more consecutive wins this season, winning those games by over an average of 13 ppg. The Clippers trail Denver by 3.5 games following three straight wins although all of those were against teams with losing records. Los Angeles is a respectable 10-10 on the road but that record is deceiving as only three of those wins have come against winning teams as it is 3-9 on the season when getting points on the highway. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after three or more consecutive wins, playing a winning team. This situation is 76-39 ATS (66.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Denver Nuggets |

01-10-19 | SMU v. Connecticut -2.5 | Top | 64-76 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the CONNECTICUT HUSKIES for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. As is the case almost every year, SMU has played a very weak schedule is it is ranked No. 342 in the nation. The Mustangs have opened AAC action with a pair of wins over East Carolina and Tulane but those are the two worst teams in the conference. This is just the third true road game for SMU and the biggest test to date on the highway. The Mustangs are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games against teams with a winning straight up record. The Huskies have opened their conference schedule with a pair of losses at South Florida and at home against Central Florida, arguably the top team in the AAC. Connecticut has faced six teams ranked in the top 50, which is the most in the conference, and while it has gone just 1-5 in those games, playing those teams will help going forward. Take note that SMU is not part of that group, it is part of the group that the Huskies have gone 8-1 against. The Huskies are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (622) Connecticut Huskies |

01-09-19 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +3.5 | Top | 86-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES as part of our NBA Wednesday Triple Play. We played on and lost with Memphis on Monday and we are going contrarian again tonight with the Grizzlies which have lost six straight games overall and have failed to cover their last seven games. Memphis is still a game over .500 at home despite three straight defeats and while it has played the 3rd toughest schedule in the NBA, its 11 wins against top 16 teams is tied for 7th most in the league. The Grizzlies are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Spurs have won five straight games which includes a 20-point win over the Grizzlies at home on Saturday so focus could be an issue here. Additionally, they are home tomorrow against the Thunder, the first of a home-and-home with Oklahoma City. Here, we play on home teams coming off a loss against a division rival going up against an opponent after two consecutive covers as a favorite. This situation is 44-17 ATS (72.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (526) Memphis Grizzlies |

01-09-19 | Marquette v. Creighton -2.5 | Top | 106-104 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. The Bluejays opened Big East play with a win at Providence but lost at Butler by 15 points on Saturday to fall to 10-5 on the season overall. That record looks average but they have played the 6th ranked schedule in the nation as they have played 10 teams that won at least 21 games last year. They have been a great bounce back team, going 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after allowing 80 or more points. Marquette is coming off an 18-point win over Xavier on Saturday but that was at home where it is 11-0 on the season. The Golden Eagles have been blown out in their only two road games this season, including an 89-69 loss at St. John's to open conference play on January 1st. Marquette is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 games after a win by 10 points or more and here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after allowing 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 35-9 ATS (79.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (800) Creighton Bluejays |

01-08-19 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -6.5 | Top | 59-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Oklahoma is another team that came into the season unranked but it is off to a 12-2 start and has cracked the top 25. The Sooners are 1-1 in the Big XII as they bounced back from a loss at Kansas with a home win over rival Oklahoma St. on Saturday. They are 3-1 on the road and while a win at Northwestern was nice, it took overtime and the other two wins came at UTSA and Texas Rio Grand Valley. Texas Tech is now ranked in the top ten with a 13-1 record thanks to a pair of wins to open conference play over West Virginia and Kansas St. The Red Raiders only loss came against Duke in a close one. Texas Tech is 17-4 ATS in its last 21 home games after failing to cover six or seven of its last eight games. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games going up against an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games. This situation is 96-54 ATS (64 percent) since 1997. 10* (642) Texas Tech Red Raiders |

01-08-19 | Wolves v. Thunder -8 | Top | 119-117 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. This is the first game for Minnesota since the firing of head coach Tom Thibodeau and it was a tough one for players to take. Karl-Anthony Towns said Monday that "no one saw it coming" when asked about the firing. In fact, Towns said he told assistant coaches just last week that he felt the organization was gaining some much-needed stability and that he was finally feeling comfortable within his team's schemes. The Timberwolves have won two straight games so the firing did come at a strange time and getting up for this game will be difficult. The Timberwolves are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a winning home record. Oklahoma City lost at home against Washington on Sunday, the first time it had ever lost at home against the Wizards. That snapped a three-game winning streak and the Thunder remain just one and a half games out of first place in the Western Conference. They are still a solid 13-5 at home and this is a big bounceback game with a home-and-home on deck against the Spurs. The Thunder are 23-10-1 ATS in their last 34 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (510) Oklahoma City Thunder |

01-07-19 | Jazz v. Bucks -5.5 | Top | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS as part of our NBA Monday Triple Play. Milwaukee is coming off a rare loss at home but it came against Toronto. The Bucks are now 18-4 at home and they have won nine of their last 11 overall and are currently one game behind Toronto for first place in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee is 18-7 ATS in its last 25 games coming off an upset loss as a favorite. Utah opened this four-game roadtrip with a loss in Toronto but has won the last two games, albeit against Cleveland and Detroit. While Utah has played the toughest schedule in the NBA, it has struggled against the top teams with 11 losses against the top 10 which is the most for any team ranked within the top 20. The Jazz are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are outscoring their opponents by 9 or more ppg, after scoring 105 points or more three straight games. This situation is 85-50 ATS (63 percent) since 1996. 10* (582) Milwaukee Bucks |

01-06-19 | Nets -2 v. Bulls | Top | 117-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. While the top quarter of the Eastern Conference is strong, there is a lot left to be desired the rest of the way down but Brooklyn is making a move after years of futility. The Nets have won 11 of their last 14 games including two straight against Memphis and New Orleans and they are currently sitting in seventh place in the playoff standings. They have held their own on the road at 9-10 and are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games against teams with a losing home record. The Bulls are having the season many expected as they come in 10-29 including a 5-15 record at home with four of those wins coming against teams with a worst record than the Nets. They have covered five of their last seven games which is helping to keep this number in check but on the season, Chicago is 3-7 ATS at home against teams with a losing record. Brooklyn swept the season series last year and won the first meeting this season and here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 revenging a loss of three points or less, off a loss by three points or less to a division rival. This situation is 33-11 ATS (75 percent) since 1996. 10* (561) Brooklyn Nets |

01-06-19 | George Washington v. St. Joe's -12 | Top | 70-56 | Loss | -108 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. JOSEPH'S HAWKS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We are not sure what happened to St. Joseph's in its conference opener as it fell to George Mason by 25 points as a seven-point favorite. The Hawks could not buy a basket as they shot just 34.6 percent from the floor including 23.3 percent from long range but we expect a big rebound today at the expense of one of the worst teams in the conference. They are laying a big number for a reason. George Washington is 0-5 away from home and it has lost those games by an average of 22.4 ppg. This is nothing new for the Colonials as they won just two games away from home last season while getting outscored by 18.6 ppg. The situation today makes it even better as George Washington has covered five straight games while the Hawks have failed to cover in their last four games which puts this number even lower than it should be. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games going up against an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games. This situation is 96-53 ATS (64.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (812) St. Joseph's Hawks |

01-05-19 | Grizzlies +9 v. Spurs | Top | 88-108 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We played on San Antonio on Thursday as it hosted Toronto and Kawhi Leonard and it resulted in a wire-to-wire winner which puts the Spurs in a difficult position tonight facing a letdown. While defeating Leonard was the big focal point, DeMar DeRozan was the real story facing his former team that let him go as he posted his first career triple-double. San Antonio has played its best against top competition, going 14-4 ATS against winning teams but going just 8-9 ATS against teams with a losing record, covering just three of its last 11. Memphis has now lost four straight games after getting beat at home last night against Brooklyn. The Grizzlies are 8-11 on the road but have been fairly competitive as they have been outscored by just 2.9 ppg in those 19 games. The recent struggles have inflated this line considerably as its last road game came in Houston where it was a four-point underdog and now this road line has doubled that in some places against a team that is ranked below the Rockets in the power ratings. Here, we play against home favorites that are averaging 102 or more ppg going up against a team averaging between 98 and 102, after scoring 110 points or more two straight games. This situation is 71-32 ATS (68.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (555) Memphis Grizzlies |

01-05-19 | Colorado v. Arizona State -7 | Top | 61-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS for our CBB Game of the Week. Arizona St. pulled off a big upset at home against Kansas but could not sustain the momentum as it lost at home against Princeton as a 14.5-point favorite and then lost by 10 points against Utah in its conference opener as an 11-point chalk. To say the Sun Devils are hungry is an understatement. Colorado also lost its PAC 12 opener at Arizona and the Buffaloes are road weary at this point with this being their sixth straight game away from home. Arizona St. falls into two superb situations. First, we play against road teams as an underdog or pickem that are averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against a team allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight games where both teams scored 70 points or less. This situation is 25-2 ATS (92.6 percent) since 1997. Second, we play on teams after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by 54 or more points total in their last ten games. This situation is 44-11 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (698) Arizona St. Sun Devils |

01-04-19 | Mavs v. Celtics -5.5 | Top | 93-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. This is one of those games where the line adjustment is too big for a missing star player. Kyrie Irving is out for his second consecutive game and linesmakers have taken that into consideration. But based on the first meeting where Boston was a 2.5-point favorite in Dallas, that should make it an 8.5-point favorite with the change in venue so there is 3.5-point variance in this line and Irving is not worth 3.5 points. Terry Rozier got the start in place of Irving and contributed 16 points and five assists in 32 minutes as he is more than a capable backup. Dallas is coming off a rare road win at it destroyed Charlotte by 38 points on Wednesday and that was just its third road win of the season compared to 16 losses. The 38-point win skews the overall road numbers and taking that out gives the Mavericks a -7.3 scoring differential on the road and there have been losses to some very bad teams along the way. The Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a losing road record and here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points going up against an opponent off an upset win as an underdog. This situation is 183-117 ATS (61 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (526) Boston Celtics |

01-03-19 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -9.5 | Top | 59-52 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the WISCONSIN BADGERS for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. We played against Wisconsin on Saturday as it lost to Western Kentucky to fall to 2-2 on the road. The Badgers are back home where they are 6-0 and those six home games are tied for the fewest in the conference. Despite playing more games away from home than in Madison, Wisconsin is the only team with that distinction that is ranked. Wisconsin is 19-7 ATS in its last 26 games after scoring 75 points or more three straight games while going 4-0 ATS in its last four home games against teams with a losing road record. Minnesota has won five straight games but considering it did not cover any of the last four shows that record is overblown. The Gopher were favored by at least 15 points in all of those games which shows they clearly did not live up to what they were supposed to do. Now they hit the road and the venue has played a big role this season as Minnesota is 8-0 at home and 0-2 in true road games. The Gophers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after one or more consecutive wins this season while going 0-5 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (656) Wisconsin Badgers |

01-03-19 | Raptors v. Spurs -2.5 | Top | 107-125 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Spurs have had this game circled all season as they welcome back Kawhi Leonard who will be making his first visit back to San Antonio. It took some time for San Antonio to come together as a team as they had to break in eight new players this season and have gone 10-3 over their last 13 games. The Spurs have won four straight home games where they are 15-5 on the season compared to 6-12 on the road. While the Spurs will be out to get some back at Leonard, DeMar DeRozan, along with center Jakob Poeltl, were moved to the Spurs from Toronto in the trade that sent Leonard to the Raptors and this is especially big for DeRozan. Toronto has won two straight games but both of those were at home and while it is 13-7 on the road, it has lost four of its last five on the highway. The Raptors are still without guard Kyle Lowry and center Jonas Valanciunas and they are 1-3 and 1-4 respectively on the road without them during this recent stretch. Toronto is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games following a win while the Spurs are 6-0 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 58-23 ATS (71.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (520) San Antonio Spurs |

01-02-19 | Colorado State v. UNLV -9.5 | Top | 76-78 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the UNLV RUNNIN' REBELS for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. UNLV is back home for the first time in over a month as its last five games have taken place on the road. The Rebels lost their two most recent home games but those were against Valparaiso and Cincinnati and they take a big step down in competition in their conference opener/ Last season, UNLV ranked 6th in the country in free throw rate, a testament to their focus on attacking the basket, aided by the 20th-best offensive rebounding percentage in the country. The free throw rate is down slightly this season but the Rebels are ranked 2nd in offensive rebounding percentage. Colorado St. is 5-8 to open the season with none of those victories coming against a quality opponent. The Rams finished 10th in the Mountain West and had the dishonorable distinction of sporting the worst defense in the league. They are not much better this season ac their .528 effective field goal percentage allowed is in the bottom sixth in the nation. The Rebels are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400 while the Rams are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on favorites off two or more consecutive losses as a favorite going up against an opponent off a home loss. This situation is 142-84 ATS (62.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (830) UNLV Runnin' Rebels |

This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. It has been a struggle since November 21st for New Orleans where it has gone 7-14 to fall four games under .500. The Pelicans put together a 5-5 record at home with only one of those wins coming against a winning team while going 2-9 on the road and overall, they are 4-15 on the highway. While they have played a difficult schedule overall, the Pelicans are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a losing straight up record while going 0-6 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. Brooklyn has stumbled in its last two games, a 13-point loss against Charlotte and a 14-point loss against Milwaukee but both of those were on the road. The Nets had won nine of 10 prior to that including a 6-1 record at home, and while they has lost their previous eight home games, six came against current playoff teams and half of those came by two points or less or in overtime. The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four games playing on three or more days rest while going 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. 10* (508) Brooklyn Nets |

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. We won with Portland in its last game as it defeated the Sixers by 34 points in a game where it led by as many as 43 points. The Blazers improved to 14-6 at home but they hit the road where they are just 7-10. Going back, they are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning home record while going 2-15 ATS in their last 17 road games after failing to cover four or five of their last six games against the spread. Additionally, Portland is 9-21 ATS in its last 30 road games after a win by 15 points or more. The Kings lost to the Lakers in their last game on Sunday which made it three straight losses on the road but they have won three games in a row at home where they are now 10-7 yet are still the underdogs as of late Tuesday morning. Sacramento is 10-5 ATS as a home underdog this season and even if it shirts to the favorite, that is more than fine as the Kings are 6-0 this season when laying points. Sacramento is 10-2 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 this season while gong 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games against teams with a losing road record. 10* (582) Sacramento Kings |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. New Orleans followed up a last second win with a loss at Houston the next night on Saturday and it looks to bounce back here before hitting the road for a pair of games. The Pelicans have gone five straight games without covering but this is a great spot to end that as they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. add to the fact Minnesota played last night in Miami where it pulled off the upset win to make it three straight road wins after opening the season 2-13 on the highway. The Timberwolves have failed to win or cover both times this season when playing the second game of a back-to-back on the road and going back, they are 0-10 ATS in road games after covering three of their last four against the spread. Additionally, the Timberwolves are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 off an upset win as a road underdog, playing a losing team. This situation is 62-31 ATS (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (572) New Orleans Pelicans |

12-30-18 | 76ers v. Blazers -1 | Top | 95-129 | Win | 100 | 11 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. The Blazers will be playing the second of back-to-back home games after falling 115-105 to the Warriors last night. They know it will be difficult to avoid another loss on their homecourt but this is a game they need to secure where they are 13-6 and six of their next seven games take place at the Moda Center. Portland has won three straight games following a loss and going back, the Blazers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. The Sixers won their last game on Thursday at Utah but they are still just 7-10 on the road. Joel Embiid is listed as questionable after missing practice Saturday because of a sore knee but that was just precautionary so he likely will play if we had to guess so his status is not a factor in this play. The Sixers are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 while going 1-8 ATS this season following one or more consecutive road wins. Here, we play against favorites in non-conference games, off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 113-63 ATS (64.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (558) Portland Trail Blazers |

12-30-18 | Detroit v. Cleveland State -4 | Top | 73-61 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND ST. VIKINGS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Detroit opened Horizon League play with an upset win at Youngstown St. by 12 points. That snapped a six-game losing streak for the Titans, four of which came on the road by double-digits. Detroit finished last in the conference last season with a 4-14 record and they are predicted to finish in the basement again this season. Going back, Detroit is 10-26 ATS in its last 36 games off a road win by 10 points or more. Cleveland St. meanwhile is coming off a loss in its conference opener against Oakland. The Vikings closed as a small favorite but ended up losing by 12 points as the Golden Grizzlies shot 50 percent from the floor. Cleveland St. should not have to worry about that tonight as Detroit is shooting under 40 percent for the season including 36.5 percent over its last five games. The Vikings are 6-0 ATS after allowing 80 points or more this season while going back, they are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up loss. 10* (730) Cleveland St. Vikings |

12-29-18 | Hornets v. Wizards +2 | Top | 126-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Charlotte came through for us last night as it was able to get some payback against Brooklyn from a loss on Wednesday. The Hornets now hit the road as favorites despite posting a 4-10 record on the highway. This is just the second time playing with no rest going from a home game to a road game and the first resulted in a loss against Philadelphia. The Hornets are 0-5 ATS in their last five games when their starting five players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day. The Wizards have lost three straight games to add to their miserable season following a loss to the Bulls last night. The good news is they stay home and they are 2-0 both straight up and against the number playing at home with no rest. John Wall remains out and that is a big reason Washington is catching points at home. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 when playing their 3rd game in four days, in December games. This situation is 66-37 ATS (64.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (536) Washington Wizards |

12-29-18 | Nevada v. Utah +8 | Top | 86-71 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH UTES as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. It is no secret that Nevada is one of the best teams in the country and while it won and covered its two road games this season, Saturday is the biggest test thus far. The Wolf Pack have yet to lose but they have failed to cover their last four games because of being overpriced and that is the case again here. Utah is undefeated at home and has an eight-game winning streak dating back to last season. One area it has been good is getting second-chance opportunities as Utah has excellent size and grabs 30.1 percent of its misses which is a key factor against a big Nevada team that normally has an edge down low. Playing in the thin air of Salt Lake City is a big edge for the home team. Here, we play against road teams as a favorite or pickem with a winning percentage of .800 or better off a home no-cover where it won straight up as a favorite, playing a team with a winning percentage between .501 and .600. This situation is 113-65 ATS (63.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (616) Utah Utes |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. A second game where immediate payback is in order and this one is even stronger for the home team based on the home/road splits. New Orleans lost by three points as Dallas won the fourth quarter 32-25 which dropped the Pelicans to 4-15 on the road compared to 11-5 at home. They come in riding a five-game losing streak, the last four coming on the highway. The Pelicans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Dallas splits are even worse as it is 2-14 on the road and 14-3 at home. New Orleans falls into the same situation Charlotte does where we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 45-16 ATS (73.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (522) New Orleans Pelicans |

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. We played against Sacramento last night and despite not having a lead and trailing by as many as 27 points, the Kings made it interesting toward the end of the game but still failed to cover. The Kings are a perfect 5-0 ATS this season as favorites while going 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Additionally, they are 14-2 ATS when the total is 220 to 229.5 this season. The Lakers caught a break yesterday when the LeBron James MRI came back negative but he will still miss up to two weeks and they are also going to be without Rajon Rondo tonight. they are coming off a big upset of Golden St. on Christmas and they have a game against the rival Clippers tomorrow to this is a tough spot to overlook. The Lakers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a same season loss going up against an opponent off a win by 20 points or more over a division rival. This situation is 48-19 ATS (71.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) Sacramento Kings |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Sacramento hits the road following a two-game winning streak before the Christmas break to move to three games over .500 for the season. While they have been solid on the road, seven of the Kings nine victories on the highway have come against teams with a losing record. Sacramento has covered just five of its last 16 divisional games. The Clippers are coming off a tough loss at Golden St. on Sunday as it fell by a bucket which snapped a two-game winning streak. They are currently in fifth place in the Western Conference, three games behind the Warriors and Nuggets for first place. Los Angeles is 11-4 at home including a 9-2 record when favored. The Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games against teams with a winning road record while going 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games against division opponents. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a game where they covered the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .501 and .600.

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Sunday Triple Play. The Pelicans suffered their third straight loss on Friday against the Lakers and that was a difficult spot with all of the distractions surrounding the Anthony Davis rumors. They have a chance to bounce back tonight against the biggest fraud in the Western Conference and while they have been horrendous on the road, the schedule has not been in their favor by playing the toughest road schedule in the NBA. New Orleans is still ranked No. 14 in the power ratings and the Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss. Sacramento is coming off a win against Memphis on Friday to snap a two-game slide and move to two games over .500. The Kings are the only team in the Western Conference that is currently sitting in a playoff position with a negative scoring differential and its 8-7 home record is nothing to get excited about. Here, we play against home underdogs revenging a road loss of 20 points or more, off a home win by three points or less. This situation is 30-8 ATS (78.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (543) New Orleans Pelicans |

12-22-18 | Spurs v. Rockets -5 | Top | 101-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Houston had its five-game winning streak snapped in Miami on Thursday and it also lost point guard Chris Paul for at least two weeks. Clearly, the Rockets are a better team with him in the lineup but knowing he is already out helps the preparation and also helps with the line. Houston is a respectable 9-5 at home where it has won five straight while going 4-0-1 ATS in those games. The Spurs won at home last night against Minnesota by 26 points to improve to 13-5 at home. San Antonio has struggled on the road as it is 5-10, winning just twice in 10 games as a road underdog. It is 4-12-1 ATS in its last 17 road games against teams with a winning home record while going 9-23 ATS in its last 32 road games against teams averaging 106 or more ppg. Additionally, the Spurs are 0-5 in the second of a back-to-back set. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a home loss of 10 points or more, off a home win by 10 points or more. This situation is 114-63 ATS (64.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (528) Houston Rockets |

12-22-18 | UNLV v. Hawaii +1 | Top | 73-59 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the HAWAII RAINBOW WARRIORS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Hawaii is again playing host to the Diamond Head Classic and it has had the luxury of no travel since November 28 which gives it a big edge against the other seven teams in the tournament. The Rainbow Warriors are 5-1 at home so far this year with its lone loss coming to 11-1 North Texas. They are balanced as they have had a different leading scorer in each of its last six games. UNLV is coming off an upset win over BYU and this is just its third game away from home. The Rebels had lost three straight prior to that after opening the season 5-1. UNLV is without forward Shakur Juiston who was injuries two games back. He is the leading rebounder and third leading scorer on a team that is thin down low. Here, we play against road teams as a favorite or pickem after allowing 90 points or more going up against an opponent after a win by 15 points or more. This situation is 50-18 ATS (73.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (694) Hawaii Rainbow Warriors |

12-21-18 | Ole Miss v. Middle Tennessee +13 | Top | 74-56 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIDDLE TENNESSEE ST. BLUE RAIDERS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. This is the classic overreaction line based on early season performances. Mississippi has one of the best spread record at 9-1 ATS while Middle Tennessee St. is one of two teams in the country that has yet to cover a game, going 0-9 ATS. Considering the newness of the roster as Mississippi has five returners compared to seven newcomers, a first-year coach in Kermit Davis and the 2017-18 results of 12-20 overall record, 5-13 SEC mark, it has been a surprisingly good start for the Rebels. Playing a schedule ranked No. 179 in the country helps and while a win over Baylor looks impressive, the Rebels were fortunate that the Bear were 2-18 from long range and they outscored them 29-18 from the free throw line. They have been picked to again finish dead last in the SEC. The Blue Raiders have lost seven straight games and while there are no excuses, they have faced the 3rd toughest schedule in the nation. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points after three straight losses by 15 points or more. This situation is 51-21 ATS (70.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (822) Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders |

12-21-18 | Pacers -2 v. Nets | Top | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The hottest team in the NBA is definitely a surprising one as the Nets have won seven straight games and are now just a half-game out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They are coming off a win in Chicago on Wednesday and it was a fortunate three-point win as Brooklyn was able to outscore the Bulls 20-7 from the free throw line. There is no real home court advantage here as the Nets are just 7-10 including going 3-9 as underdogs. The Pacers had their own seven-game winning streak going but have since suffered back-to-back losses including a narrow three-point defeat at Toronto on Wednesday. That dropped Indiana to 9-7 on the road but that is still the second best road record in the NBA which includes a 5-1 mark as a road favorite. Indiana is 27-8 ATS in its last 35 games after having lost two of its last three games and here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 103 or more ppg on the season, after a win by three points or less. This situation is 103-53 ATS (66 percent) since 1996. 10* (505) Indiana Pacers |

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. We played against Houston last night not knowing it was going to break the NBA record for three-pointers made in a game. The Rockets went 26-55 from long range, 16 more three-pointers than the Wizards which went down despite shooting 53.6 percent from the floor. Houston is 0-3 ATS this season when playing its second back-to-back game on the road. Miami is coming off a pair of impressive road wins at Memphis and New Orleans to conclude a 4-2 roadtrip where it covered five of those six games. The Heat have struggled at home with a 5-9 record but they are a much more respectable 2-2 as home underdogs. Miami is 9-3 ATS as an underdog of three points or more this season while going 7-1 ATS in its last eight games against teams from the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Houston is 11-25 ATS in its last 36 road games after a game where they made 55 percent of their shots or better while going 0-5 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (578) Miami Heat |

San Antonio concluded its six-game homestand with a 27-point win over Philadelphia to end up 5-1 and it is now back over .500 for the season. The Spurs hit the road where they are just 4-10 with two of those wins coming against Phoenix and Chicago, both of which are 7-24.

This is a play on the AUBURN TIGERS for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. NC State is back home after defeating Penn St. on a neutral floor in New Jersey on Saturday for its third consecutive win. The Wolfpack are now 9-1 on the season and despite making the NCAA Tournament last season with a 21-12 record, they are still unranked. But this is for good reason. NC State returned three starters from last year but those are the only three players that returned on the whole team so facing an elite team for the first time this season is going to show its shortcomings. Thus far, the Wolfpack have played the No. 352 ranked schedule in the country compared to Auburn which has faced a schedule ranked No. 90. And the Tigers are the real deal. They are ranked No. 7 in the nation coming off a 26-win season and the only Auburn loss this season came against Duke in the Maui Invitational over the week of Thanksgiving. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after scoring 80 points or more three straight games. This situation is 76-31 ATS (71 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (701) Auburn Tigers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The Lakers have stumbled on the start of this roadtrip, dropping two of the first three games including an 18-point loss at Washington on Sunday in a game they trailed by as many as 27 points. Los Angeles has won six of its last seven games following a loss and the Lakers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points which includes two road wins right after a road loss. Brooklyn is starting to make a move in the Eastern Conference as it has won five straight games, including impressive victories over Toronto and Philadelphia. The Nets have failed to cover seven of their last eight games against the Western Conference and we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 after trailing in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half going up against an opponent after scoring 100 points or more two straight games. This situation is 23-4 ATS (85.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (547) Los Angeles Lakers |

12-18-18 | East Carolina v. Charlotte -1 | Top | 49-55 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. The Pirates enters Tuesday's game with a 6-4 record with wins over Delaware St., Lamar, Texas-Rio Grande, Prairie View A&M, Appalachian St. and Maryland Eastern Shore, not exactly the most imposing of opponents. All of those wins have come either at home or on a neutral floor as East Carolina comes into tonight with a 0-2 record on the road. Overall, the Pirates have played the No. 351 ranked schedule in the country and that is out of 353 Division I teams. East Carolina is 0-5 ATS in its last five road games while going 0-6 ATS in its last six games following two or more consecutive wins. Charlotte is back home following three straight losses on the road and while the 49ers check in at just 2-2 at home, one of those wins came against Oklahoma St. so as long as the offense does not completely shut down, the 49ers are in good shape for a bounce back. Additionally, this is a great tune up for the Diamond Head Classic which starts on Saturday against TCU. 10* (616) Charlotte 49ers |

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Minnesota is coming off a four-game roadtrip and while losing to Portland and Golden St. in the first two games was expected, losing to Sacramento and Phoenix in the last two games was not. The four-game losing streak has dropped the Timberwolves two game under .500 to fall into second to last place in the Western Conference. Sacramento is tied for sixth place with Memphis and Portland as sits just four games behind Denver for first place. The Kings are coming off a win yesterday in Dallas which handed the Mavericks just their third home loss of the season and going back, they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games when playing on no rest, losing those games by 10, 21, 20 and 15 points. Minnesota is 9-0 ATS in its last nine home games against teams shooting 48 percent or better from the floor. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a loss of 10 points or more, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (534) Minnesota Timberwolves |

12-15-18 | Wolves -8 v. Suns | Top | 99-107 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Minnesota has dropped the first three games of this four-game roadtrip and it is now 2-11 on the highway for the season but the schedule has been brutal. All 11 losses have come against teams with winning records while the two wins came against losing teams and both of those were covers as road favorites. Phoenix is coming off a rare win as it won at home against Dallas for just its fifth win of the season and the Suns have failed to win or cover after its previous four victories. Phoenix is 4-11 ATS this season as an underdog of fewer than nine points while going 0-6 ATS in its last six games against teams with a losing straight up record. Here, we play on road favorites off two or more consecutive road losses, playing six or less games in 14 days. This situation is 57-28 ATS (67.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (511) Minnesota Timberwolves |

12-15-18 | Middle Tennessee +13.5 v. Toledo | Top | 62-84 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIDDLE TENNESSEE ST. BLUE RAIDERS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. Three teams currently possess 0-8 ATS records on the season and Middle Tennessee St. is one of those. The Blue Raiders have lost six straight games to fall to 3-7 on the season and after a week off, this is a good spot to get things going in the other direction. We played on Middle Tennessee St. last Saturday as it lost at home against Murray St. and while the losses are no excuse, the opposition has been brutal. The Blue Raiders have played a very tough schedule as they have played the No. 4 ranked slate in the nation. Toledo meanwhile has won seven straight games but the schedule has been a complete opposite as the Rockets have played the No. 235 schedule in the nation so this is the perfect contrarian setup as this line is set on records alone. The Rockets are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 home games against teams with a losing road record while the Blue Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. Additionally, we play on underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points after three straight losses by 10 points or more going up against an opponent after scoring 40 points or more in the first half in two straight games. This situation is 56-25 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (635) Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders |
