01-30-20 | North Alabama v. NJIT -4.5 | 78-74 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the NJIT Highllanders Bullet Analysis: NJIT has won 4 of 5 and will likely continue this run in the Atlantic Sun as they make up home games after a heavily front-loaded road schedule. The Highlanders are nothing special but can play with this kind and face a North Alabama team that is just 2-8 on the road with one of those wins against a horrific Kennesaw team. Lay it. |
|||||||
01-30-20 | Stetson +9.5 v. North Florida | 65-78 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Stetson Hatters Bullet Analysis: Stetson has to be considered one of the surprise teams of the year and strangely enough have done some of their best work on the road. The Hatters own wins over South Carolina among others and have generally been in most of their games after being a doormat for years. North Florida is for real but this is too many points for a deliberate team that hasn't blown people out. |

01-29-20 | Thunder -3 v. Kings | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the OKC Thunder The Thunder have won 5 of 6 and have also won and covered their last five road games. Not a great spot for Sacramento which has won two straight after dropping previous six. Monday the Kings staged a furious comeback in Minnesota, coming back from 17 down in the final 2:47 to beat the T-Wolves in OT ... a scenario that was 0 for 8334 according to ESPN. Travel home a win like this and an extended roadie is generally not conducive to a run ... especially with a red-hot OKC team waiting. Lay it with the small road favorite. |

01-28-20 | Warriors v. 76ers -12 | Top | 104-115 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Philadelphia 76ers The Warriors have been reduced to a D-League roster and it shows as Golden State is just 1-12 in its L13. To their credit, the players that they do have play hard and the Warriors are 12-11 ATS on the road getting the big points they normally get. That said, they face a monster tonight in the 76ers who have won and covered their last seven home games and are 8-1 ATS L9 in the series, 5-0 ATS in their L5 in the series at the Wells Fargo. Joel Embiid looks to be good to go and Philadelphia can name the score if it wants. Philadelphia 113-89. |
|||||||
01-28-20 | Florida State -1 v. Virginia | Top | 56-61 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Florida State Seminoles These are two of the better defensive teams in college basketball and that was affirmed by the Seminoles 54-50 home win over the Cavs on Jan 15th. Florida State is big, physical, and athletic, and made for this type of matchup. The Sems have won 10 straight, the last three by four or less or in OT. FSU is 7-1 in the ultra-tough ACC but that loss was by a bucket early on (November) at Pitt. Virginia is in a down year and just doesn't score enough regardless of how good their defense. Florida State by 8. |
|||||||
01-28-20 | SMU +5.5 v. Cincinnati | 43-65 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the SMU Mustangs The SMU is 7-2 L9 and on a roll, having stormed back late down 12 with 7 minutes left to win by four at Memphis. Not much bad to say about Cincinnati which is 3-0 SU and ATS at home in conference and winning those games by a combined 71 points. Never a better spot for the Mustangs to stop a run of 6 straight losses on this floor but none of those by more than 8 points. This game could have big conference implications down the line and will be played like it. The Stangs are a money-making 13-7 ATS in all lined games this year and we'll grab them here with the points. |
|||||||
01-28-20 | Richmond +9 v. VCU | 68-87 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Richmond Spiders VCU wins but as far as the way we keep score, they're pretty counterfeit. The Rams have won three straight, spanking bottom feeders by 28-13-11 but they've burned tickets all year at 7-13 ATS, 1-4 ATS at home. The Spiders are 3-0 on the A-14 road with wins by 14-6-8 and figure to be at their best here having gone just 2-8 L10 in the series. Richmond is 12-0 when it scores 73 points and they're No.24 in the country shooting the three ball knocking down better than 37% from beyond the arc. |
|||||||
01-28-20 | Villanova -3 v. St. John's | 79-59 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Villanova Wildcats Villanova was very young to start the year, is still a work in progress, but has won six straight in the very tough Big East, four of the six by four or less points. Mike Anderson is doing the best he can with the Johnnies but there's not much there talent wise and the Storm is just 2-6 in conference, 1-2 at home. The Cats have lost two of their last three visits here after going 19-1 prior. None of Jay Wright's kids were part of any of that and have no excuse to not be focused on the job at hand. Nova by 8-10. |
|||||||
01-27-20 | Spurs -2 v. Bulls | Top | 109-110 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the San Antonio Spurs Not the best of spots for the Spurs who are off two straight very tough home losses. Getting out of Alamo City might just be the cure for a San Antonio team that is 8-2 in its L10 road games. The Bulls will be short-handed here with Markkanen out 4-6 weeks with a hip injury and not a whole lot of size on the bench. Chicago is off a road win at Cleveland but the Bulls are 0-6 ATS following their L6 straight up wins and just 2-6 ATS in their L8 at the United Center. Chitown just 1-4 straight up in the series and won't have big points to back them up here. Spurs by eight. |
|||||||
01-27-20 | CS Sacramento v. Northern Arizona -1.5 | Top | 54-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks Sacramento State is 4-0 at home in Big Sky action but 0-4 on the road where they find themselves tonight. The Hornets average just 50.5 ppg. on the conference road and their 43.1% shooting percentage is No.346 out of 353 Div-I teams. The Jacks have won three straight and have same season home revenge here having lost 64-57 in Cali in a game that found them down 20 at the half. All eight Northern conference games have been decided by 8 or less and both teams have a propensity to play close games. At the end of the day, it's payback for a home team against a team that is yet to find an answer away from home. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | Suns v. Grizzlies -2.5 | Top | 109-114 | Win | 100 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Memphis Grizzlies Bullet Analysis: Both teams are on the improve but we'll side with the Grizz who are 8-2 L10 and 8-3 ATS in their L11 at home. The Suns are 5-3 L8 with Devin Booker saving the bacon on most nights. Memphis has won 3 of the last 4 in the series on this floor and should be able to cover this very doable number. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | Clippers -4.5 v. Magic | 112-97 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Clippers Bullet Analysis: The Clippers are 7-2 L9 and beaten the Magic 10 straight times, covering 3 of the L4 at the O-rena. The slumping Magic have lost 4 of 5 after a decent run and we'll lay the points against a home team that is not playing a whole lot of defense at the moment. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | San Diego State -7 v. UNLV | Top | 71-67 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the San Diego State Aztecs Bullet analysis: The Aztecs are the last unbeaten team in the country and have owned UNLV for a long long time. In fact, SDSU has won 10 straight in the series and have beaten the Rebs four times on their home floor in the L6 Mountain West tournaments. UNLV is 6-2 in conference, 4-0 at home but .... the improving Rebels are 1-6 straight up versus the RPI Top 100 and are no match here. San Diego State by double-digits. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | Missouri State v. Drake -4.5 | 69-71 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner in on the Drake Bulldogs Bullet Analysis: Drake is a monster at home and has won the last four games in the series. The Bulldogs are shooting 58% inside the arc in MVC games and again, are 10-0 overall on this floor. Missouri State has won their last two and play decent defense but ... three of their four conference loss are by double-digits, all three on the road. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | Michigan State -3 v. Minnesota | 70-52 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner in on the Michigan State Spartans Bullet Analysis: Michigan State couldn't have played a worse game than they played at Indiana during the week but still had to a chance to win in the final minute. Sparty started with a 16-4 deficit to Indiana in that game but slowly and surely clawed back. Mich State won the first round 74-58 in Lansing in a brick-fest. The Gophers are 3-0 at home in the Big 10 but knocking down just 22% of their shots from downtown. Mich State steps up here. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | South Florida v. Houston -12.5 | 49-68 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner in on the Houston Cougars Bullet Analysis: Houston was supposed to be in a rebuilding year but are way ahead of schedule winning four straight, 9 of 10, and are 5-1 ATS in the ACC with the lone loss by a bucket at a pretty good Tulsa team. South Florida has lost four straight, 7 of 9, and five straight to the Coogs. The number is a bit dicey but a quick start by Houston and this could be a 30-point blowout. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | Montana State v. Idaho State | 75-64 | Win | 100 | 18 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Montana State Bobcats Bullet analysis: A pick'em matchup between two of the better money makers in the Big Sky. Montana State is 10-6-1 ATS, Idaho State 9-5-1 ATS. More was expected from Montana State as the Bobcats were thought to be an outside player in the Big Sky. Idaho State is 6-11 with Bengals making a living playing people close and catching more points than they probably should be getting. Montana State is off a confidence building road win at Weber and that could be a "buy sign" that the Bobcats will be better in the Big Sky's second half. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | Jacksonville -7 v. Kennesaw State | 83-64 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Jacksonville Dolphins Bullet analysis: Jacksonville is a proud hard-trying program that was a NCAA runner-up producing the likes of Artis Gilmore back in the day. The Dolphins are off an OT home win and own four road wins this year, no mean feat for any small mid-major at this point. Kennesaw is 1-18 with the Owls lone win coming against Gardner-Webb. Most recently, KSU is off a 20-point home loss to Northern Alabama and three double-digit road losses of 12+ to similar A-Sun competition. Jacksonville 82-67. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | Liberty -12.5 v. Stetson | 43-48 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Liberty Flames Bullet analysis: Liberty is an interesting team that has lost twice, at LSU and in its last in their Atlantic Sun showdown with Northern Florida in their last game. The Hatters have had their moments but this have come primarily on the road. Stetson catches the Flames in a bad spot, rested and off a loss. Liberty 85-66. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | TCU v. Arkansas -6.5 | 67-78 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Arkansas Razorbacks Bullet analysis: Arkansas has hit a flat spot after 15-1 start. In their last home game, the Razors were down 10 the whole first half to Kentucky, took a 50-47 lead, Calipari gets tossed, and Arkansas folds like a cheap suit jacking 30-footers and committing terrible turnovers trying to drive the lane with nothing there. Musselman will have his team ready here against a very beatable TCU outfit and wouldn't be shocked to see the Hawgs blow out the Horned Frogs. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | Akron -5.5 v. Ohio | 88-86 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Akron Zips Bullet analysis: The Zips look to be the best in the MAC and stack up well offensively and defensively from a metric standpoint against all opponents. Ohio on the other hand is No.189 on offense and No.186 on defense. They've lost 3 of 4 with a two point win at Eastern Michigan and 9-3-11 point losses to the three teams chasing Akron. The Zips roll here at a fair price. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | Boston University -8.5 v. Holy Cross | 79-64 | Win | 100 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Boston Terriers Bullet analysis: Holy Cross is a horrific 3-17 and are bottom of the barrel in most D-I metrics, specifically defense where the Crusaders are No.344 out of 353 teams. Boston University can play a bit and owns an early win over the likes of South Carolina. The Terriers have lost two straight but those were to Patriot heavyweights Colgate and Navy. Despite being on the road, we seem to be getting line value here everything considered. Boston U by 15-20. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | LSU v. Texas | 69-67 | Win | 100 | 13 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the LSU Tigers Bullet analysis: LSU has won 7 straight, 6-0 in the SEC, No.7 shooting inside the arc, and No.11 in offensive rebounding … a pretty formidable combination. The Shaka Smart tenure at Texas could be coming to a close as he has just not gotten the Longhorns over the hump. UT has lost 5 of 8 and was smoked by 38 at West Virginia in latest. Prior to that was losing to Kansas by double-digits at home after leading by double-digits in the first half. Hard to see Texas prevailing here. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | Mississippi State +1.5 v. Oklahoma | 62-63 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs Bullet analysis: Mississippi State is under-the-radar sneaky good but basically unproven with its front-loaded home schedule. The Bulldogs last two road games were losses at LSU and Bama followed by a 27-point home win over Mizzou and a 32-point home win over Georgia, and big 7-point win against a very good Arkansas team. Oklahoma is on the improve for Lon Kruger but still young and probably a year away. The Sooners have played well against their own kind but have consistently fell short against better and probably should not be laying points here. |
|||||||
01-25-20 | Villanova -1 v. Providence | 64-60 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Best Bet winner is on the Villanova Wildcats Bullet analysis: Nova has won five straight but has only played two road Big East games, losing at Marquette and winning at Creighton. This is the Cats first roadie in 18 days. Providence has lost three of fourbut always dangerous and is supremely coached by Ed Cooley. All said, Jay Wright has done a nice job with what started as the No.333 most experienced team in the country and is still 15-3 playing the No.29 strength of schedule and winning close game after close game. |
|||||||
01-24-20 | Marquette +6.5 v. Butler | 85-89 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Marquette Bullet Analysis: Marquette has won three straight averaging better than 87 ppg. and knocking down 40% of their shots beyond the arc. Butler has lost three straight and the last two in this series, both by double-digits. The Bulldogs haven't played much defense during their recent skid, not good against the white hot perimeter shooting Eagles. Marquette straight up. |
|||||||
01-24-20 | Yale -5 v. Brown | 73-62 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on the Yale Bulldogs Bullet Analysis: Yale looks to be head and shoulders the best team in the Ivy and will be a tough out in the first weekend of the Big Dance if they get there. The Bulldogs are 9-1 L10 and just beat Brown 70-56 last Friday, knocking down 10 of their 24 treys. Yale is also 10-1 L11 in the series, No.3 in the country in FG% defense, and facing a Bear team that's 3-7 L10 with just one win all year inside the RPI top 100 and that being Rhode Island. Even on the road, hard to see Yale not winning by 10+. |
|||||||
01-24-20 | Kent State v. Buffalo -3 | 70-66 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on the Buffalo Bulls Bullet Analysis: Buffalo has won four straight and the Bulls are a run and gun outfit that depends on its perimeter shooting. Buff averaging 83.8 ppg. during current run and plays at the No.5 fastest pace in the country. Kent got off to a fast start but the Flashes have lost three straight and are just 3-11 L14 in the series. We'll grab the home team on the up escalator laying the small points. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | Michigan State -3.5 v. Indiana | 63-67 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on Michigan State Bullet Analysis to follow: This is a key Big 10 game for both teams, especially Michigan State which has been a monster on its home floor but somewhat sketchy on the road including a 29-point loss at Purdue. Sparty has won 9 of 10 but lost 2 of 3 on this floor so expecting Izzo and Co. to bring absolute top effort tonight vs. Hoosiers. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | Wizards v. Cavs -2 | 124-112 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Cleveland Cavaliers The Wiz are in a tough spot, playing the second of B2B nights after losing in Miami in OT last night. Washington is 1-4 in its L5 and has lost 3 of 4 to the Cavs who look to snap a five-game skid of their own. The Cavs have not played since Monday and get one of their key pieces back in John Henson who gives them 7.7 points and 5.0 rebounds a game off the bench. Cavs get much needed win at The Quick. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | Belmont +2 v. Murray State | 75-85 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Belmont Bruins Belmont is 7-3 L10 in this series but .... Murray has knocked the Bruins out of the OVC tournament the last two years. Both teams are very similar in that they've won 5 and 6 games in-a-row respectively, are undefeated in OVC play, and have played the No.352 and No.353 (the two easiest) strength of schedules in the country. Belmont has won their last two visits to this floor by 12-13 and have won both their conference road games by 7 and 25 points. Murray off tough road OT win in a game Monday with a team they should have beat by 20. Belmont 78-70. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | North Alabama -5.5 v. Kennesaw State | 78-58 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on North Alabama Bullet Analysis to follow: It's not easy to lay points on the road with a team that is 1-9 with suitcase but we'll do it here against a 1-17 Kennesaw State Owl team that is likely the worst team in Div-I basketball. North Alabama is what it is but generally gives you a solid effort night in and night out and figures to maul a KSU team that is 0-5 in the very weak Atlantic Sun with four losses by 12+ points. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Lakers -11.5 v. Knicks | Top | 100-92 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Lakers Bullet Analysis: The Lakers were waxed at Boston 139-107 in last in a game that featured the return of Anthony Davis and plenty of off-the-court distractions. Looking for a much more focused and determined Lake Show here at the mecca, MSG, playing a team they beat by 30 at the Staples Center just two weeks ago. The Knicks are 2-8 L10 and as if things couldn't be worse, the bear has been poked. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Penn State +5.5 v. Michigan | 72-63 | Win | 100 | 17 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Penn State Bullet Analysis: The Nits broke out of a 1-3 funk with a nice win over Ohio State in last. The Nits are 0-3 on the but are in a nice spot against a Michigan team that is 4-6 after a 7-0 start. PSU can play and has a big shot to go dancing if they take care of their own business and win games like these. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Arkansas +3.5 v. Mississippi State | 70-77 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Arkansas Bullet Analysis: The Razors are 2-2 after 12-1 start. Arkansas was awful vs. Kentucky in their last but still had a three-point lead late and started jacking threes and committing terrible fouls. Not much bad to say about Miss State who plays good defense, offensive rebounds, and has won the last three in the series but … a more focused Razorback team in triple revenge and is supremely coached by Eric Musselman wins straight up here. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Western Kentucky +1.5 v. Marshall | 64-60 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Western Kentucky Bullet Analysis: WKY is on the improve and the Hilltoppers have won three straight. Western is just 1-4 in their L5 visits to Huntington but this year's Herd outfit is very ordinary and just .500 at home. WKY is a veteran bunch that understands the importance of a win here as the team meet again Saturday in a rare CBB home-and-home. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Air Force +14 v. Utah State | 47-72 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Air Force Falcons Bullet Analysis: The Flyboys won the first go around 79-60, shocking the Aggies in Fort Collins by knocking down 58% of their shots. Utah State has won the last five series meetings on this floor by an average of better than 20 ppg but this has been a nightmare season for the Aggies who have lost 4 of 5 in a weak MWC, shooting just 24% from beyond the arc. Air Force is an experienced veteran group and can ball. Take the points. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Wake Forest v. Clemson -9 | 68-71 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Clemson Tigers Bullet Analysis: Clemson has beaten the Demon Deacons 11 straight times and off a couple of big ACC wins. Upset alert ??? Don't think so. The Tigers look to be fully recovered after a 1-6 late December skid and ACC home favorite of 8+ are 8-2. Lay it. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Butler v. Villanova -3.5 | 61-76 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Villanova Wildcats Bullet Analysis: Jay Wright started with the No.332 most experienced team in the country at the start of the year but after some early rocky results, the Cats have won four straight and 10 of 11. Nova has won four straight over Butler who has lost its last two after a 15-1 start allowing 78 and 79 points. Villanova has won its three Big East home games by 6+ and finds a way here. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Illinois +5.5 v. Purdue | 79-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on Illinois Bullet Analysis: This is a big revenge spot for Purdue who is 8-1 at home and figures to be salty from 63-37 loss at Champaign on January 6th. That said, too many points to a dangerous Illini outfit that has won four straight and is quite simply the better team. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Wichita State -4.5 v. South Florida | 56-43 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Wichita State Bullet Analysis: The Shockers have lost two straight off 15-1 start, unable to make a shot and scoring 53-54 points respectively. South Florida has lost 6 of 8 and lost 54-41 to Wichita on this floor last year. The Shockers creating turnover on a tic under 25% of opponent possessions and should strangle the USF offense to get back on track here. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Weber State +4 v. Portland State | 76-92 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Bonus play on the Weber State Wildcats We're going to channel our inner Harold "The Show" Arceneaux here (old-timers will remember) and take Weber State to win straight up. The Wildcats are in a down year and this proud program will finish with a losing record for the first-time in forever. That said, Weber is 8-1 last nine in the series and has won their last three visits to the Rose City. Portland is 2-4 straight up last six and their Big Sky opponents are shredding the Vikings at 58% INSIDE the arc in conference play. Weber wins straight up. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Lakers -2 v. Celtics | 107-139 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack's Holiday Sunday Late Steam Report is on the Los Angles Lakers The Lakers have won 10 of 11 and have covered their last four roadies, most of it without the services of Anthony Davis who is a great payer but an injury waiting to happen. Boston has hit a flat spot and is 2-6 straight up in its last eight and is also just 2-6 ATS in its last eight home games at TD Arena. These are the type of games Lebron lives for he'll be featured tonight in the MLK holiday game which won't be lost on him either. The Lakers are deep and their role players have established themselves through the half-way mark. Lakers by 10. |

01-20-20 | High Point v. USC Upstate -6.5 | Top | 70-62 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the USC Upstate Spartans Slim pickins on this abbreviated MLK car has us in the Big South today. The High Point Panthers are not much going 4-14 overall and 4-12 on the year ATS. The Point is 1-9 straight up on the road and faces a somewhat underrated SCUS team that is 7-11 on a schedule that was front loaded with away games. The Spartans will start making those up over the next few weeks. They're 5-2 at home and a money making 10-5 ATS on the year and we expect them to take care of business in a big way here. |

01-20-20 | 76ers -2 v. Nets | 117-111 | Win | 100 | 14 h 36 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner on the Philadelphia 76ers The 76ers are 0-6-1 ATS in their L7 road games but are unencumbered by a big impost here. The Nets are in complete freefall at 2-10 L12 and just 1-4 SU since Kyrie The Savior returned to the fold. Brooklyn is actually 2-5 ATS in its L7 home games and has had no recent success against Philly going 1-5 straight up. In a game they basically just need to win, take the 76ers. |

01-20-20 | Raptors -8 v. Hawks | 122-117 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Toronto Raptors The Raptors have won three straight and 4 of 5. They've won 8 straight in the series (6-2 ATS) and have covered 5 of their last 7 trips to Hotlanta. The Hawks were beat 136-103 by the Pistons 48 hours ago in their last home game so nothing to recommend on the home dog here. Lay it. |

01-19-20 | Packers v. 49ers -7.5 | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 44 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack's Packers/49ers Conf Championship GOY is on the San Francisco 49ers Back on November 24th, the 49ers hammered the Packers on this field 37-8 on Sunday night in arguably the worst game in Aaron Rodgers career. How bad ??? This bad. Rodgers was 20-33 for 104 yards. That's not a typo, 20 completions for 104 yards and the 49ers secondary bullies Packer wide outs all night. Rodgers was sacked five times and that without playing much of the fourth quarter. The Packers fumbled and went 3-and-out in their next four possessions, trailing 23-0 at half. Did I mention that the Packers were 0-13 on 3rd down with Rodgers under center ??? Aaron Rodgers is a first-ballot HOFer that could never have another game like this and the 36-year-old will be out of his mind in probably his final shot at the Super Bowl in the balance ... right .... cha, cha, cha ??? Why not ??? San Francisco is healthy, especially on the defensive side where you saw the 49ers hold a much more explosive Vike squad to 100 yards and change. Looking for San Francisco to bring big heat and pressure Rodgers unmercifully and the offense provides them plenty of rest by running the ball down the Packers throat and Jimmy G make a couple of money throws. 49ers 34-13. |

01-19-20 | Loyola-Chicago -3.5 v. Illinois State | Top | 62-50 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Loyola Chicago The dog is 10-1 in the L11 series meetings but Illinois State is 1-4 in five MVC games with an inexplicable win over Northern Iowa. Loyola is really starting to play well winning 8 of its L10 games and is 4-1 in conference play with a three-point loss at a tough Drake outfit the only blemish. Most importantly for our purposes, the Ramblers play good pressure defense that creates turnovers in 24% of opponent possession and are No.2 in the country in shooting percentage inside the arc which would indicate they are getting some very good shot. Lay the points with the small road favorite. |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Titans v. Chiefs -7 | 24-35 | Win | 100 | 41 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack's Titans/Chiefs AFC Championship Super Play is on the Kansas City Chiefs Since losing 35-32 at Tennessee on November 10th, the Chiefs have won 7 straight games. Lets look back a bit. Pat Mahomes was about 70% after coming back from a knee injury and still shredded the Titans for 36-50, 466, 3-0. Kansas City led by double-digits till late. Their real undoing was kicking four field goals. These are two radically different teams just two months later but if you are going to give props to Tennessee, fair is fair and we have to acknowledge the Chiefs improvement on defense the final month of the season as well. Last week, the Ravens scored just 12 points but rolled to 530 yards of total offense, stuffed several time in key situations. Kansas City has so many more options, so many more finishers, the clock has struck 12 for the Cinderella Titans. Kansas City by 17. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Pacific v. Santa Clara -3.5 | Top | 80-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Santa Clara Broncos Strangely enough, we still don't know what we have with the 15-4 Santa Clara Broncos who are 14-0 at home and 1-4 ATS on the road. That said, they have played five brutal road games with losses at Gonzaga, Stanford, San Fran with the only red-flag being Nevada. Pacific is a counterfeit 15-5. I've seen this team a couple of times and the Tigers don't rate very high on the eye test. Santa Clara was embarrassed by 50 at the Zags mid-week and overall have been ATS monsters. Back on track here with double-digit win. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Raptors -5 v. Wolves | 122-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Toronto Raptors The Raptors have won three of four after a mini-funk and are 5-2-1 ATS in their L8 road games. Toronto has also won three straight in the series and face a Minnesota outfit in complete free fall that has lost four straight and on speed dial to blow up the entire roster including KAT. The T-Wolves are 3-14 ATS in their L17 at the Target Center ... nothing to recommend on the home team here. Toronto by 10. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Kansas -5.5 v. Texas | 66-57 | Win | 100 | 1 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Kansas Jayhawks Kansas is 3-1 in the Big 12 with road wins of 16 and 24 points. The Jayhawks are 16-2 straight up in their L18 in the series and 4-1 in their L5 visits to Austin. Texas is just 1-3 vs. teams in the Top 60 with that win over a mediocre at best Purdue team. The Longhorns might keep this one close early but ultimately, Kansas has its way. Kansas 80-66. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Butler -3.5 v. DePaul | 66-79 | Loss | -109 | 0 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Butler Bulldogs "Buy signs" on DePaul were misguided as the Blue Devils are 0-4 out of the box in the Big East after going 12-1 vs. the No.266 strength of schedule in non-conference play. Butler is 6-1 L7, losing its last to a very good Seton Hall team, no shame there. Bulldogs are an experienced veteran team and take care of business here. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Cavs v. Grizzlies -8 | 109-113 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Memphis Grizzlies Looking to break out of this awful NBA funk, thank you for your patience. The Cavaliers are 2-7 straight up in their L9 games overall and 5-10 ATS in their L15 road tries. They have covered five straight against the Grizz but these are two very different teams. Memphis has won and covered six straight and is 8-1 ATS in its L9 home games. With Zion close to making his debut for New Orleans, JA Morant has become the prohibitive ROY favorite in Sin City and and has turned out to be a solid scorer and distributor. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Brown v. Yale -10.5 | Top | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is the Yale Bulldogs The Ivy teams come off a long hiatus with Brown not having played in 15 days, Yale 18. The Bears have lost 9 of 10 in the series and 9 straight on this floor. Yale is ready to rock after having played a tough non-conference schedule (No.35) and owning the No.4 ranked FG% defense in college basketball. Brown turns the ball over on better than 23% of their possessions which just won't work here trying to trade points with the Elis. Yale 76-55. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Nuggets -4.5 v. Warriors | Top | 134-131 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Denver Nuggets Denver is 14-4 in its L18 games and their 14 wins since December 12th are the best in the NBA. Did a double-take at this number as a the Warriors have lost none straight and are just 1-3 ATS in their L4 home games offering little resistance. Denver has lost three straight versus the Warriors and while this Golden State outfit is a D-League squad at best, a Nugget blow out or at least dominating win would have to be a good thing for the collective Nugget mindset. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | North Florida -1 v. Jacksonville | Top | 75-68 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
DMack's CBB Play of the Day is on the North Florida Ospreys North Florida figured to be a player in the Atlantic Sun this year and played a tough non-conference schedule, giving teams like Florida and Dayton all they wanted. The Ospreys won their first three conference games but are off a brutal home loss to NJIT in their last with Sun kingpin Liberty on deck. Jacksonville is just 8-10, 4-3 at home, and 1-2 in conference play. The Dolphins scored just 37 points in 16 point loss to Liberty in last and don't have much fire power under normal circumstances. No excuses for Norther Florida here. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Stanford +1 v. UCLA | 74-59 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Stanford Cardinal The Tree is the surprise team in the West this year, going 14-2 with their only losses to Butler and Kansas despite starting the year with the No.335 (352) most experienced team in the country. The Bruins are also very young and with a new head coach, were spanked in rivalry game with USC in last. This is a contender/pretender game for Stanford here and like the Cards to win by 10. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Auburn -1.5 v. Alabama | 64-83 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Auburn Tigers 15-0 Auburn looks to be for real despite yet to be tested on the road. The Tigers rolled through their first three SEC games winning by 12-4-22 points and are the No.8 offensive rebounding team in the country. Bama is a .500 club in almost all aspects and the reason why is that the Tide get 40% of their points from beyond the arc despite shooting a tic better than 34%. Lay it. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Vanderbilt v. Arkansas -13.5 | 55-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Arkansas Razorbacks Eric Musselman goes to the head on the class as an early COY candidate for the great job he's done with the Razors. He's taken a bunch of loose cannons from the prior regime and seamlessly have them playing hounding defense while being unselfish on offense. Jerry Stackhouse found the Vandy cubbard bare and will take some time to get some players in. The Razorbacks roll roll in wire-to-wire fashion. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Miami-FL +8.5 v. NC State | 63-80 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Miami, Fla Hurricanes This is a lot of points to give to a team that is 3-1 in true road games with the lone loss at Louisville. The Canes also won their last the two visits to Raleigh and have are 3-1 L4 in the series. The Wolf Pack have split their six games and are just 3-5 against the RPI top 100, not inspiring much confidence they'll cover near double-digits against a quality well-coached team like Miami. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Creighton +3 v. Georgetown | 80-83 | Push | 0 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Creighton Blue Jays Analysis to follow |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Stony Brook -7.5 v. Hartford | 65-68 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Stony Brook Seawolves Probably wouldn't think about laying this type of points with the Wolves on the road but they've won five straight including their first three conference game, one of those a dominating blowout win against America East kingpin Vermont. Hartford is a 50-50 proposition playing against a schedule that is half as tough as Stony Brook. Seawolves 82-68. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Kings v. Lightning -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is in Tampa Bay on the puck-line Tampa Bay has finally found it's mojo and have shook off the malaise that hung over the team the first third of the season. The Bolts are 9-1 L10 with the lone loss coming to the Caps who will likely be their opponent in the Eastern Conference final. The Kings are 3-7 L10 overall and 7-18 on the road. Add to the mix their lack of firepower and Tampa looks to be an easy multiple goal winner. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Duke -10.5 v. Clemson | 72-79 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Duke Blue Devils This is as much a fade of Clemson as a play on Duke. The Blue Devils are rolling through ACC play going 5-0 and winning their road games by 14-33-9 points. They have Louisville up next but see little chance of lookahead with Dukie depth and Clemson having just won at North Carolina. The Tigers are not much and neither is North Carolina for that matter but it was a historic win for Clemson and they are the team that might be fat and happy. Duke is 10-2 L12 in the series but have lost 2 of 3 on this floor, another reason that Coach K will have his bunch focused. |
|||||||
01-13-20 | Clemson v. LSU -5.5 | 25-42 | Win | 100 | 62 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's 2019-2020 College Football National Championship winner is the LSU Tigers This is a great game between two very good teams but the "cap" on this game is somewhat easy. Sure, Clemson is the defending champion, won 29 straight, and Trevor Lawrence has lost as a starter. Got it. LSU has beaten six, that's SIX top 10 teams this year … the team is a juggernaut. Bettors have short memories and many times are swayed by what they saw last. Don't be fooled by what you saw versus a really undeserving Oklahoma. LSU took care of its business and Burrow threw 7 touchdown passes … IN THE FIRST HALF! If LSU gets the same breaks Ohio State got in vs. Clemson, the Bayou Bengals are up 21-0 … not 6-0 like the Buckeyes. The second half of the season, the LSU defense was as good as any in the country with the Tiger defensive backups getting touched up on occasion in mostly 6 touchdown blowouts. Remember what Clemson did to Alabama last year ??? This year, Dabo and Co. get a taste of their own medicine. LSU 45-23. |

01-12-20 | Wright State -5.5 v. Illinois-Chicago | 72-76 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Wright State Raiders Wright State is 13-3 with all three losses by 1 or 2 points or in OT. The Raiders are 5-0 in Summit play, knocking down 45% of their treys, and winning their L3 road games … two by 14+ points. UIC is 5-12 against the No.267 strength of schedule (not much) and turning the ball over a tic under one in every four possessions. Wright was swept in the series last year after winning five prior meetings and will be focused here. Wright gets out early and cruises to a double-digit wire-to-wire win. * Subscribers: I will be having a minor heart procedure done on Monday. For the next few days I may be working off a tablet or laptop in the hospital so analysis might be very brief. Please be patient. With conference play in swing, we'll have a big next three months … bet on it !!! |

01-12-20 | Texans v. Chiefs -9.5 | 31-51 | Win | 100 | 40 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday NFL Super Play winner is on the Kansas City Chiefs The Texans are here thanks to Deshaun Watson and an act of God. Houston rocks the No.28 ranked defense in football and Mahomes and Co. will exploit is for all they can with two weeks to prepare. Houston won here in Week Six but this is a completely different Kansas City defense that has held three of its past four opponents under 280 yards of total offense. The Chiefs have won six straight, five by double-digits and Andy Reid's record with extra time is second to none. The Chiefs are well aware of their playoff failings the past two years (both with Mahomes) and will completely focused and ready to twist the knife. Kansas City by 17+. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Devils v. Capitals -1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Caps puck-line Bullet analysis: The Devils have lost three straight and can't keep the puck out of the back of their own net, not good against the team that was the best in the first half. The Caps have a monster goal differential and beat New Jersey 6-3 in the only meeting this year. Puck-line makes perfect sense here, increasing the profit and mitigating the damage should the 13-4-4 Caps get upset at home by the Devils. Won't happen. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Pelicans +11.5 v. Celtics | 105-140 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the New Orleans Pelicans Things are looking up for the Pelicans who were decimated by injuries early. New Orleans is getting healthier by the day and is 7-2 SU (9-0 ATS) in it's L9 and Zion is close to making his NBA debut. Boston has lost three straight and is 0-4 versus the points in their L4 homies at TD Gardens. Boston is 11-3 SU at home so likely to get a win but shows no "buy sign"" that they'll blow our the red hot Pelicans. Take the points |

01-11-20 | UNLV -7 v. Wyoming | 78-69 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
DMack subscriber bonus play on UNLV Rebs were cooled off at Boise but still played well. Wyoming is a walk it up can't shoot team that will have a lot of problems with the bigger, deeper, and more athletic Rebels. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Arkansas -1.5 v. Ole Miss | 76-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Arkansas Razorbacks Bullet Analysis: Musselman has done an amazing job with the Razors who are playing big time pressure defense and creating turnovers on 25% of their opponents possessions. That won't be good for a Rebel team that can't shoot and has really struggled scoring points. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Vikings v. 49ers -7 | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday NFL Super Play winner is on the San Francisco 49ers It would be hard to find a worst spot for the Vikings off their OT win over New Orleans and then travel on a short week to a sloppy NoCal to play the Saturday early game. The Vikes are 8-1 when they hold opponents to less than 20 points but that's a tough assignment here against a 49er outfit that has had time to get healthy, game plan, and really prep. The 49er DL and LB corps have had time figure out a way to shut down Dalvin Cook and still have Cousins running for his life. The Vikes have lost 10 of 11 in this series on the road and the No.1 seed is 11-1 SU (7-5 ATS). Everything to this point has broken San Fran's way and they've earned the rest .... 49ers 30-17. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Houston -6.5 v. Tulsa | 61-63 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner on the Houston Cougars Bullet Analysis: The home side is 5-1 SU and ATS L6 in the series but these are clearly two teams headed in opposite directions. Houston has won six straight while Tulsa is 2-5 L7 and just 9-6 overall after facing just the No.261 toughest schedule. Houston improves on a 20-7-1 ATS run as a road favorite. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Baylor +8 v. Kansas | 67-55 | Win | 100 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Dog Bite of the Week is on the Baylor Bears Bullet Analysis: Kansas is 13-1 L14 in the series and Baylor has lost 12 straight visits to Lawrence but … the Bears have won 11 straight games while holding their last two Big 12 opponents to just 48 ppg. Kansas is good but this is too many points to give athletic Baylor team in a showdown that will likely fall in the 50s. |
|||||||
01-10-20 | Magic +3.5 v. Suns | 94-98 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Orlando Magic Orlando finally seems to have gotten its act together and has clawed its way to two games below .500 in the "Their for the Taking" East. The Magic probably can't win a home court but to not make the playoffs is inexcusable and starts with winning games like these. Phoenix got off to a quick start but injuries and off the court stuff brought the Suns back to the field and current 1-3 run, 4-9 ATS in L13 home games. Orlando is 4-1 L5 and 5-1 L6 in the series covering four straight on this floor. This appears to be two teams headed in opposite directions and we'll take the visitor on the up escalator to win straight up. |
|||||||
01-10-20 | Canisius v. Monmouth -4 | 65-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Monmouth Hawks Both team have played a number of close games with opposite results. Canisius has lost five straight including their first three MAAC games by a combined total of nine points. Monmouth is 5-1 L6 with their L4 games decided by four or less. Monmouth has lost four of five in the series so they'll have some added motivation here. The Hawks are a veteran bunch that is 5-1 outside the RPI Top 200 but if they take of the ball (Griiff's forte is forcing turnovers), they should win comfortably here. |
|||||||
01-09-20 | Minnesota v. Michigan State -12 | 58-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Michigan State Spartans Bullet Analysis: The Golden Gophers have won 3 of 4 but are 0-4 in true road games and lost their last two trips to Lansing by 18 and 24 points. The Spartans are a prototypical Izzo team that started slow but has now won 7 straight, the last four by 18+. Mich State is 7-1 L8 in the series with most of the wins coming by margin. |
|||||||
01-09-20 | Celtics +2.5 v. 76ers | 98-109 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Boston Celtics Bullet Analysis: The 76ers are 17-2 at home but have lost four of five overall and appear to be ready to blow things up as trade rumors surrounding Ben Simmons abound. The Celts have lost two straight but were 8-1 prior but in a good spot here to get back on track with a strong division win. |
|||||||
01-07-20 | Knicks +13.5 v. Lakers | 87-117 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the NY Knicks The Knicks have been much better since their coaching change. Sure, they are just 4-6 L10 but remember that they were 6-20 before that and for our purposes, they've covered 4 of 5 and 6 of their L8 on the road. As bad as they've been in recent years, the Knicks are even 8-2 straight up against the Lakers in the L10 series games and have covered 4 of their L5 visits to the Staple Center. This is too many points to give to a young team with talent, playing their best ball of the year, and stoked to face Lebron and Anthony Davis in Hollywood. Take the dog. |
|||||||
01-07-20 | Blazers v. Raptors -2.5 | 101-99 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack NBA Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Toronto Raptors Not sure where this opening number of Toronto -1 came from. The Blazers are in complete free fall losing 6 of 7 and are just 4-8 ATS in their L12 road games. Further, they've lost 8 of the L9 in the series. The Raptors are just 3-4 in their L7 but the teams is battling injuries. This is a tough venue to play at and Toronto is 11-6 L17 as a home fave so they take care of business most of the time. until proven otherwise, we'll be picking our spots to fade Portland when possible. This is one of them. |
|||||||
01-06-20 | Bucks -7 v. Spurs | 104-126 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Milwaukee Bucks The Spurs have righted the ship somewhat in going 8-7 straight up in their L15 games. Prior was not very good and this version of the Spurs is in a rebound and will not make the playoffs in the powerhouse West. Milwaukee is 26-2 L28 and 7-3 ATS in its L10 as a road favorite. The Bucks are 5-1 L6 in the series so their success against San Antonio predates this less talented version of the Spurs. Always worried about the spot, this is the back end of a rare inter-conference home-and-home, the Bucks beating the Spurs 127-118 on Saturday, taking their foot off the pedal of a game they led by 12 after three quarters. The Bucks are at Golden State on Weds so they can expend enough energy to take care of business here. |

01-06-20 | UL - Lafayette v. Appalachian State -7.5 | Top | 81-73 | Loss | -111 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Appalachian State The Mountaineers have made a living beating up on teams like this. App State swept the Cajuns last year winning by 27-10 points respectively scoring 104 and 90 points. App State saw it's 5-game home court win streak snapped in last by Georgia State, the Mounties first home loss, and the favorite is 5-1 versus teams outside the RPI top 200 which fits here. Lafayette is 5-9 vs. the No.294 ranked schedule and has lost all five true road games, four of those by 12+ points. Both teams play their third game in five nights, further reason to take App State will not also be battling travel. App State by 20. |

01-05-20 | USC +5 v. Washington | 40-72 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner is on the USC Trojans Bullet Analysis: Andy Enfield has done a real nice job with his young team that is 12-2 (Marquette, Temple), won six straight, and is in a triple revenge spot against Washington who is 10-4 overall but just 1-4 playing teams in the RPI top 100. Grab the points but I've sprinkled in some money line as well. |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Blazers v. Heat -5.5 | 111-122 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Miami Heat It might just be time for the Blazers to blow it all up with a top to bottom rebuild. That would include dealing one on the best guard combos in the league is Lillard and Miles. Portland 1-5 L6 and is buried in the West with no end in site. The Heat are 5-2 L& but return home salty after being humiliated by Orlando in their last and figure to be razor sharp start to finish here. |

DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner is on the North Dakota Hawks Bullet Analysis: Fort Wayne was a 12-point upset winner in the Summit League opener but are not very good and the Mastodons are in the bottom 10 in the country in getting to the foul line. North Dakota plays its first year in the Summit at spanked Denver on the road in its opener. The Hawks have played a tough non-conference schedule that should have them well prepared for conference play. NDU with just one bad loss (Campbell) and should have more than enough to handle a team that has been a non-competitive 1-7 on the road this year. North Dakota by double-digits. |

01-05-20 | Massachusetts v. St. Louis -10 | 80-83 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner is on the St Louis Billikens Bullet Analysis: UMass has been a decent bully vs. bottom feeders but haven't blown out a candle playing anyone of quality which includes a 34-point loss to Harvard. St Louis was supposed to be in a rebuild but are way ahead of schedule at 11-3 (Seton Hall, Auburn, Duquense) vs. the No.55 toughest schedule. The Bills have shown no compunction about winning by margin vs. teams they've been able to handle though there have not been many of those games. |

01-05-20 | Iona v. Monmouth -1.5 | Top | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Monmouth Iona's season to this point has been nothing short of horrific. The once proud Gaels started college hoops this season, No.1 in experience but are just 2-9 with wins against equally horrific Stetson and Kennesaw out of the Atlantic Sun. Iona is in the top 50 in the nation turning the ball over and a program that was once a proud shooting team is converting just 28% of it's threes. Monmouth saw it's four games win streak snapped on Friday by giving one away at Siena. The Hawks experienced themselves and 6-6 versus a middle of the road but representative schedule and on the improve. They've played a number of close games (L4 decided by 10 total) and should be well prepared here. |

01-05-20 | Vikings v. Saints -7.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack's Vikings/Saints Sunday Wildcard Round Super Play is on the New Orleans Saints The Vikings have been a sexy pick to upset the Saints this week and not quite sure why. Minnesota was just 4-4 on the road this year and their best player (Dalvin Cook) is questionable at best. New Orleans probably would have preferred the week off but will play at home with an offense hitting on all cylinders. In fact, the Saints are averaging 36.8 ppg. since Week 11 and Drew Brees has thrown 15 touchdown passes in the Whodats last four wins. New Orleans is 5-2 L7 in the series and won at Minnesota 30-20 last year. Two years ago, the Vikes beat New Orleans here on one of the most improbable Hail Mary's in NFL history. New Orleans also fits into some of the strongest betting techs in the playoffs including Wildcard Round straight up winners and wildcard home teams favored by more than a touchdown. New Orleans puts the pedal down and never gets off the gas. New Orleans 43-24. |

01-04-20 | Texas v. Baylor -8.5 | 44-59 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Baylor Bears Two hot teams square off here with Baylor on a 9 game win streak and Texas 6-1 L7 but that's where all similarities end. Texas is 10-2 but their losses are by 16 and 22 to Georgetown and Providence who would both be closes to DD dogs versus the Bears. Baylor has 7-1 L8 in the series and has won three straight on this floor, two times by more than what they need to cover here. Baylor is an elite defensive and rebounding team that forces turnovers on 24% of opponents possessions. Baylor by 14-18. |

01-04-20 | NC-Greensboro +1 v. Wofford | 92-98 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Best Bet on NC Greensboro This is a triple revenge game for Greensboro who was beat three times last year by Wofford after winning the prior five games in the series. UNGR is 8-1 L9 with loss coming on a buzzer beater to North Carolina State. The Spartans also played Kansas tough before losing by 12 at Lawrence indicating their quality. Wofford is still pesky (beat North Carolina early on) but at 6-6 looks to be a bit down from recent editions. |

01-04-20 | Bills +3 v. Texans | 19-22 | Push | 0 | 14 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's Bills/Texans Saturday Wildcard Round Super Play is on the Buffalo Bills The old adage about the wildcard round, pick the winner, cash the ticket. In fact, in the last 46 wildcard games, the straight up winner is 40-5-1. That is not a misprint. Prior history is meaningless here as this is a breakout year for the Bills who were 5-3 straight up on the road. Buffalo doesn't score a lot of points but they face a weak defense here and a Deshaun Watson offense that doesn't run the ball well and will likely be without the services of Will Fuller, Andre Hopkins bookend. The Buffalo defense and field position will go a long way in determining this winner. Buffalo playing completely with house money even if coming out of the AFC East. Bills win 20-17. |

01-04-20 | Tulane -7 v. Southern Miss | 30-13 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
DMack's Armed Forces Super Play is on the Tulane Green Waves If you look at Southern Miss very closely, they don't really have a good win with victories over the likes of Alcorn, Troy, UTEP, Rice, UTSA, and an in-explicable 37-2 win over UAB. The Eagles were smoked by FAU and Western Kentucky in their final two games and arguably faces much better here. Tulane lost 5 of 6 down the stretch but that included Memphis, Temple, UCF, Navy gauntlet ... all games that were played with Waves battling major injuries to their top players. Supremely coached by up-and-comer Willie Fritz, the Waves feature a power ground game and fly to the ball defense that should take Tulane to a two TD win. |

01-03-20 | Heat -1 v. Magic | 85-105 | Loss | -112 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Miami Heat Miami has won 5 of 6 after a flat run. The second of B2B is not their best spot and they have lost 4 of 5 in the series to the Magic but Orlando is struggling in its own right having lost 8 of 12 and are just 3-7 ATS in their L10 at the O-Rena. In this virtual pick'em, Miami (18-3 vs. Eastern Conf, 5-1 Division) will figure out a way. |

01-03-20 | Fairfield -2 v. Niagara | 66-75 | Loss | -111 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Fairfield Stags Fairfield is a veteran bunch that plays a slow deliberate pace and hasn't shot the ball well early on. They've faced tough early but have rebounded to win three of their last four against their own kind. Niagara is 2-9 overall and has lost six straight with their wins over Norfolk State and Colgate. The Purple Eagles FG defense in No.343 (out of 352) in the country and have dropped 7 of 9 in the series. Fairfield wins this by double digits. |

01-03-20 | Ohio -7.5 v. Nevada | 30-21 | Win | 100 | 52 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's Idaho Potato Bowl winner is on the Ohio Bobcats Ohio has been an enigma for most of the year and needed to post a combined 118 points in its final two games to get bowl eligible at 6-6. Solich takes bowls very seriously and Ohio has won their last two appearances by a 68-6 aggregate and are quite capable of giving the Wolf Pack a beating here. Ohio has run for 265 yards per in it's last six games and that alone will keep a very anemic Nevada offensive opportunities to a bare minimum. Nevada was held to 10 points or less in four of their five losses this year and that's a real possibility here. We'll call it 37-14 Ohio. |
