02-15-22 | Villanova v. Providence +4.5 | Top | 89-84 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
The Villanova Wildcats are 19-6 as they travel to Providence tonight to take on the Friars. The Wildcats have won three games in row and covered two of those. They are coming off a win over Seton Hall, 73-67, as a 9-point favorite. The Cats have the top offense in the conference and 2nd rated defense in efficiency. They are in the top three or four in most offensive and defensive categories. Providence is 21-2 overall on the season and has won eight straight games. The Friars have the four ranked offense and third ranked defense in the conference. Like Villanova, they rank top four in most categories. Providence is 14-0 S/U and 7-7 ATS at home. That makes this line a bit surprising that Villanova is laying 4 1/2 points here on the road. I'll take Providence with their perfect home record getting points. Play Providence. |

02-15-22 | Mavs v. Heat -3.5 | 107-99 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
The Dallas Mavericks are 33-24 S/U and 30-26-1 ATS on the season. They had their four game win streak snapped last game at home vs the LA Clippers, 97-99, as a 6.5-point favorite. The Mavs are 13-13 S/U and 14-12 ATS on the road this year. Miami is 37-20 S/U and 33-22-2 ATS. The Heat have won five straight games after their win over Brooklyn on Saturday, 115-111, but they failed to cover the 11.5-point spread. Still, they are 4-1 ATS their last five games. The Heat are 4-1-1 ATS the last five vs the Mavericks in Miami. In addition, they are 9-3-1 ATS overall the last 13 meetings with Dallas. I'll take the Heat here on Tuesday. |

02-15-22 | South Carolina +4.5 v. Ole Miss | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 17 h 10 m | Show | |
SEC Action tonight has South Carolina taking on Ole Miss. Both teams are right around the middle of the conference standings, with South Carolina at 5-7 in the SEC and having a 14-10 overall record. Ole Miss actually comes in next to last in the SEC with a 3-9 mark and 12-13 overall record. South Carolina snapped a 3-game losing streak last time out at Georgia, 80-68, as a 2.5-point favorite. South Carolina has one of the better defenses in the country, ranked 35th overall. It's the offense that has had issues, ranked 13th in the conference. Good news for the Gamecocks is that they face a terrible Ole Miss team. Ole Miss is 12-13 and have lost three straight games. They have covered just four of their last 11 games. Ole Miss has the SEC's 12th ranked offense and 13th ranked defense. There isn't much good to find about this Ole Miss team. Yet, here they are laying points on Tuesday. That's too much for me to pass on, I'll take the points with South Carolina. |

02-14-22 | Raptors -4 v. Pelicans | 90-120 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
The Toronto Raptors having a fine season but finally had their winning streak snapped last game on Saturday by Denver, 109-110 as a 4.5-point favorite. That loss snapped a eight game win streak both S/U and ATS. They are now 31-24 S/U on the season and 31-23-1 vs the spread. The New Orleans Pelicans are not having a good season at just 22-34 overall and 28-28 ATS. The Pelicans have lost two straight games both S/U and ATS, including their last game at home to the Spurs, 114-124, as a 6-point favorite. The Pelicans also continue to play without forward Zion Williamson who is out indefinitely with a foot injury. Raptors just playing too good of late to pass on here tonight. Take Toronto. |

02-14-22 | Southern Utah +1.5 v. Northern Colorado | Top | 95-100 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
Southern Utah Thunderbirds bounced back after their loss last Monday to Montana with a win on Saturday at Sacramento State, 83-57, as a 7.5-point favorite. That makes the Birds 5-1 S/U and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games. Southern Utah will have revenge on their minds here tonight, having lost at home to Northern Colorado back on Jan 1st, 81-91. This is a good So Utah team, ranking 2nd in the conference in offense and 4th in defense. Hard to find any stat that this team hasn't done well at on either side of the ball. Northern Colorado Bears are 13-11 after having won three straight games to get above the .500 mark. The Bears are coming off a win at Sacramento State, 61-79, as a 6-point favorite. No Colorado has the conference's top ranked offense but only the 7th ranked defense. They allow a 10th ranked 3-point percentage on defense at 38.9%. With revenge and an overall better team, I'll take the visitors here tonight. Play Southern Utah. |
|||||||
02-13-22 | Northern Iowa +6.5 v. Loyola-Chicago | 58-85 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 1 m | Show | |
Northern Iowa Panthers look to extend their win streak to six games here today at Loyola Chicago. The Panthers are coming off a win over Southern Illinois, 53-44, as a 6.5-point favorite. They have also covered their last four games. The Panthers are a very well balanced team, 2nd in offense and third in defense in the conference. They have the best free throw shooting team in the conference and 2nd best 2-point shooting team. The defense is also solid, at the top of the conference in many categories. Loyola is 18-5 S/U and 8-11-3 ATS on the season. While this team wins games, they have some trouble covering them. They are just 1-4-2 ATS their last seven games and 3-6-3 ATS their last 12 games. Like NIU, they are ranked near the top of the conference in most offensive and defensive categories. This looks to match two very good teams against each other, but NIU does a way better job covering spreads. I'll take the visitors in this one. Play Northern Iowa. |
|||||||
02-12-22 | Nuggets v. Raptors -3.5 | 110-109 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets look to rebound from their loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday. The Nuggets led a lot of that game only to fall behind and push or lose to the spread late in a 102-108 loss as a 6-point dog. Now the Nuggets have to turn around and play the second of a back-to-back set here tonight at Toronto. They haven't done well in this spot, going 1-5-1 ATS the last seven times they have had not rest. Meanwhile, Toronto has covered 10 of their last 12 home games as a favorite. They are also 15-3 ATS their last 18 games at home and 13-3 ATS with 1-day rest. The Raptors have been hot too, winning their last eight games in a row both S/U and ATS. The one issue they face is that they could be without PG Fred VanVleet tonight as he is questionable with a groin injury. Either way, I like them tonight against a tired Denver team. Play Toronto. |
|||||||
02-12-22 | Hofstra v. Delaware +1.5 | 80-66 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Hofstra looks to extend their three game win streak here tonight at Delware. The Hofstra Pride are 16-9 Overall on the season and 13-10 ATS. Hofstra is 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Hofstra has the 6th rated offense and 4th rated defense in the conference. The Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens are 16-8 S/U and 10-13 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over Northeastern, 74-61, as a 5.5-point favorite. Delaware has the top rated offense in the conference. They also have the top 2-point shooting team with a 57.7% and 4th ranked 3-point team with a 37.1% mark. I'm looking for Delaware to use that top offense here today and take this game with the cover. |

02-12-22 | San Francisco v. Santa Clara +1 | 74-58 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |

The Santa Clara Broncos are 17-9 overall and 13-9-3 ATS on the season. The Broncos have won four straight games and six of their last seven. They have also covered six straight games. They are coming off the upset win over St Mary's, 77-72 as a 3.0-point dog. The Santa Clara team is well balanced with the 4th ranked defense and 5th ranked offense in the conference. Santa Clara is a 1-point dog here tonight so really just have to pick the winner. I like the hosts here today. Play Santa Clara. |

02-12-22 | Fordham +3 v. Duquesne | Top | 65-54 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
Road Warrior Game of the Week: The Fordham Rams don't have a lot to be happy about this year with a 9-12 record. They are coming off a pair of losses, including last game at St Bonaventure, 51-76 as a 12.5-point dog. The Rams have covered two of their last three games and four of their last six games.This is a decent defensive team, ranking 79 overall in the nation and 5th in conference. The Duquesne Dukes are just 6-15 overall on the season and 7-14 ATS. Duquesne has lost eight straight games and covered just one of those. The Dukes are near the bottom of the conference in both offense and defense. They have a league worst 45% field goal percentage. They allow the most 3-point field goals in the conference also, 41.8%. Two teams that are not good, but Fordham has a decent defense and that will be the difference here today. Play Fordham. |

02-12-22 | Rutgers +8.5 v. Wisconsin | 73-65 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
Big 10 action has Rutgers taking on Wisconsin from Madison. Wisconsin leads the Big 10 with a 10-3 conference mark while Rutgers comes in at 6th with a 8-5 mark. Rutgers Scarlet Knights are 14-9 S/U and have won two straight and three of their last four games. They have also covered three straight games. The Knights are coming off a win over Ohio State, 66-64 as a 3-point dog. The Rutgers offense isn't the best, 10th in Big 10, but the defense has been excellent ranked 3rd overall in the Big 10. Wisconsin is 19-4 overall and is coming off a pair of wins including last game at Michigan State, 70-62, as a 4-point dog. However, the Badgers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games. Surprisingly, Rutgers has a better overall defense than this Wisconsin team that ranks 4th in the conference. They also rank 8th overall in the Big 10 in offense. Should be a good, low scoring game here tonight. I'll take the points with the dog in this one. Play Rutgers. |

CSU is 3rd with a 8-3 conference mark and 18-3 overall record. Fresno is coming off a loss to Wyoming, 59-61, as a 4-point favorite. Fresno has the 2nd best offense and the 4th best defense in the Mountain West. They are either first or 2nd in the conference in 3-point field goals, free throw percentage and blocks. The defense is also good. The Rams have won two straight games after dropping two in a row. That includes a win last game at Nevada, 82-72, as a 6-point favorite. Despite being higher in the conference standings, CSU has a offense ranked 5th and a defense at 6th in the conference. The one area they are best in is Free throws where they hit 76.9%. Both teams are very good, but CSU laying 6-points seems a bit on the high side. I'll take the dog here tonight. |
|||||||
02-11-22 | St Bonaventure v. St. Louis -5 | Top | 68-61 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
St Bonaventure Bonnies are 13-7 S/U and 6-13-1 ATS on the season. They snapped a 2-game losing streak last time out with a win over Fordham, 76-51, as a 12.5-point favorite. Still, that makes them just 1-4 ATS in their last five games. The Bonnies have a decent offense, ranked 5th in the conference though the defense comes in 7th overall. The St Louis Billikens are 17-6 S/U and have won six straight games and covered five of those. They are also 11-3 S/U and 9-4 ATS overall at home this season.

It's West vs East tonight as the Denver Nuggets hit the road for a East Coast two-game swing starting tonight in Boston. Always seems tougher on the West teams going East as we have tonight. Denver is 30-24 overall and 23-30-1 ATS on the season. They have won two straight games after dropping the previous three. Denver is just 9-19 ATS in their last 28 road games vs a team with a winning home record. The Boston Celtics look to extend their win streak to seven games tonight.

They are also 13-5-1 ATS the last 19 meetings with the Nuggets in Boston. I'll lay the points here tonight with Boston. |

The Tennessee Martin Skyhawks are just 8-16 overall on the season and also have a 10-12 spread mark. They are 2-9 S/U on the road but actually have a winning 6-5 road spread mark. The offense ranks 7th in the conference, but the defense is a bit better at 4th in conference. SIU Edwardsville Cougars are just 6-17 overall and 9-12-1 vs the spread. The Hawks have lost nine straight games and are just 1-7-1 ATS their last nine games. The offense is bad, 318th overall in the country and 8th in the conference. The defense also ranks 8th in the conference. Basically just have to pick the S/U winner here today and for me that's Tennessee Martin. |

Fla International Golden Panthers look to snap a two-game losing streak here tonight at Marshall. The Panthers are 13-11 overall and 9-13 ATS on the season. Marshall is having a bad season with a 8-15 overall record. The Thundering Herd aren't doing any better vs the spread with a 4-17 ATS mark. Marshall is just 1-12 S/U and ATS their last 13 games. Marshall has the 12th ranked offense in the conference and the 13th ranked defense. That could get even worse today as Marshall could be without a key player, as Taevion Kinsey is questionable with a foot injury. Kinsey is their starting guard and averages 20.2 ppg this season. Take Florida International. |

02-09-22 | Loyola-Chicago v. Bradley +4.5 | 61-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |

They have also covered their last two games, but are only 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games. Memphis laying 10-points here tonight seems way too much to such a good offensive team as Tulane. I don't see how the Tigers can cover such a big number. Play Tulane. |

They are coming off a win and cover at Cincinnati, 80-58, as a 6.5-point favorite. Statistically this Houston team is very good on both sides of the ball. If there is a knock against them it's their 3-point shooting, where they are just 31.5%, which is 9th in the conference. SMU also having a nice season at 16-5 S/U and 10-11 ATS. The Mustangs are coming off a loss at Wichita State, 57-72 as a 1.5-point dog. That loss snapped a five game win streak and 13-1 run for SMU.

The Penguins have the 4th best offense in the conference and third best 3-point shooting team (34.9%). The defense isn't great, but it's not terrible either.

|||||||
02-08-22 | Utah State +1.5 v. Wyoming | 76-78 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Later action on the college hard court has Utah State taking on Wyoming in Mountain West action. The Utah State Aggies are 15-9 S/U and 13-10 ATS on the season. The Aggies have won five straight games, including last time out vs UNLV, 90-75 as a 9-point favorite. They have also covered four of their last five games.

Wyoming having an excellent season with a 19-3 S/U mark and 13-6-2 spread record. The Cowboys have won four straight games and 10 of their last 11. The offense is ranked 1st in the Mountain West overall and top two or three in field goal percentages from two and three points. If this team has any issues is on defense, where they are 7th overall. The Cowboys not as well balanced as the Aggies. Should be a close, hard fought game tonight but I'll take Utah State to come out on top. |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Missouri +8.5 v. Vanderbilt | 62-70 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
The Missouri Tigers not having the kind of season they would have hoped for with just a 9-13 S/U record and 11-10 ATS mark. They are coming off a road win at Texas A&M, 70-66, as a 10-point dog. That made two straight covers and a 6-1 ATS mark their last seven games. The Vanderbilt Commodores are 12-10 S/U and 11-11 ATS on the season. Vandy is coming off a win over LSU, 75-66, as a 3-point dog. They have also covered two straight games. January wasn't very good for Vandy as they were 3-5 S/U and 2-6 ATS in the month. This Vandy team is not very good on offense, evidence by their 11th ranking overall in the conference. Their 2-point FG% is only 48.5% (10th) and they hit only 63.8% of their free throws (13th). Laying points with a poor free throw team can be disaster down the stretch. I'll take this Missouri team here on Tuesday. |

The Grizzlies have won and covered two straight games, including their lat game at Orlando, 135-115, as a 8.5-point favorite. The Grizzlies have also covered five of their last six games overall. The Grizzlies should have little troubles here on Tuesday night. Play Memphis. |

USC getting double digits at home here tonight. Kentucky should win fairly easily here tonight, but I believe this is just a bit too many point for them to cover on the road. I'll take the home dog. |

02-08-22 | Marquette +6 v. Connecticut | 72-80 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
The Marquette Golden Eagles are 16-7 S/U and 15-8 ATS on the season. The Eagles have been a bettors delight of late, covering nine straight games. They are also 8-1 S/U during that time. The Eagles have the third best offense in the conference and the best defense. They are holding opponents to just 29.6% from three-point land (best in conference) and 43.9% from two-pointers (4th best). This is a very well balanced Marquette team. The Connecticut Huskies are 15-6 overall on the season and look to snap a 2-game losing streak both S/U and ATS here tonight. They are coming off a loss at Villanova, 74-85 as a 4-point dog. The Huskies have the 2nd best offense in the conference and 5th best defense. I see these two teams as very evenly matched and not U Conn a 6-point better team as the line hovers at now. Play Marquette. |

02-07-22 | Raptors v. Hornets +2 | 116-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |

Charlotte also has 28 wins on the season but 26 losses. They are 15-9 vs the number on their home court. Charlotte has done well in this series, going 5-1 ATS the last five meetings with the Raptors. Moreover, they are 12-6 ATS in their last 18 meetings in Charlotte. I'll take the Hornets here tonight. |
|||||||
02-07-22 | Virginia v. Duke -11 | 69-68 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Duke looks to hold top spot in the ACC today as they host Virginia. Duke is 9-2 in conference play and holds a half game lead over Notre Dame. The Blue Devils are 19-3 overall on the season. Virginia is 6th in conference play with a 8-5 record and 14-9 overall mark. Virginia Cavaliers brings a 2-game win streak both S/U and ATS into today's contest. The Cavs are coming off a win at home over Miami Florida, 71-58 as a 4-point favorite. Duke is 5-0 and 4-1 ATS since their last loss on Jan 18th to Florida State. The one thing you want with a big favorite is a team that makes free throws. Duke is laying 12-points here today and they are 14th in the conference in free throw percentage at 68.1%. Duke is the better team, but will they make the free throws when they need them? I'll take the points with Virginia here today. |

02-07-22 | George Mason +8 v. Richmond | 59-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
George Mason and Richmond both looking to move up in the Atlantic 10 conference standings. George Mason is 6th with a 4-3 conference record and 11-9 overall mark. Richmond is 5th in the A-10 with a 6-4 mark and 15-8 overall record. GM Patriots look to snap a 2-game losing streak here today. The Pats are coming off a loss at LaSalle, 78-83 as a 2-point favorite. The strength of this Mason team is offense, they rank 3rd in the conference in overall offense and 1st in effective FG%. They are also first in the conference in 3-point fg% with a 41.2 mark. Richmond brings a 2-game win streak into today's contest. They are coming off a win over St Bonaventure, 71-61 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Spiders are also a decent offense, ranked 5th in the conference. Unlike Mason, they are last in the conference in 3-point FG% with a 29.6 mark. Both teams can put up some offense, but getting these points is too hard to pass on today. Play George Mason. |

02-07-22 | NC-Wilmington +7 v. Hofstra | Top | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
Colonial Athletic Association matchup here today has UNC Wilmington taking on Hofstra. Wilmington holds the top stop in the conference with a 10-1 record and 16-6 overall mark. Hoftra comes in at 4th with a 6-4 record and 14-9 overall mark. Wilmington Seahawks rebounded from their loss on Thursday with a win at William & Mary, 92-70 as a 5.5-point road favorite. That makes 13 wins in their last 14 games. They are also an excellent covering team with a 12-1 ATS mark their last 13 games. Wilmington has the best offense in the conference and also is 2nd in free throws and 3rd in 3-point percentage. The Hofstra Pride are 14-9 S/U and 12-9 ATS. The snapped a two-game losing streak with a win last games vs James Madison, 85-78, but failed to cover the 7.5-point line. That makes three straight without covering. The Pride have the conferences 6th ranked offense and 4th ranked defense. They are first in 2-point field goal percentage (58.2%) and 1st in free throw percentage. I see this game as a very close one, yet the Pride are laying 7-points. Too many in my opinion. Play NC Wilmington. |

02-06-22 | Loyola-Chicago v. Missouri State +2 | 71-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
Two of the best teams in the Missouri Valley Conference meet here today. Top seeded Loyola Chicago comes in with a 8-2 conference record and 17-4 overall mark. Missouri State is 3rd in the conference with a 8-3 conference record and 17-7 overall mark. Not much bad you can say about this Loyola team. They ahve the four ranked offense and 1st ranked defense in the conference. The Ramblers rebounded from their loss on Jan 30th at Drake, 68-77, with a home win over Illinois State, 78-64 as a 14.5-point home favorite. They have had some issues covering spreads, failing to do so in their last five games and eight of their last nine games. They will be laying 2-points to Missouri State today. The Bears are 17-7 and have won two straight games and six of their last seven. They have also covered four of their last six games. The Bears have the top rated offense in the conference and the second best field goal percentage (54.5%). They also shoot 3's well with the 2nd best percentage of 35.8 percent. Should be a great game, but I'm taking the small points with the home team in this one. Play Missouri State. |

02-06-22 | Manhattan +2.5 v. Canisius | Top | 70-77 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 18 m | Show |
Metro Atlantic game here on Sunday has Manhattan taking on Canisius. The Manhattan Jaspers are 11-8 S/U and 8-8-2 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at Niagara, 74-80, as a 4.5-point dog. The good news for Manhattan is that they have already beaten this Canisius team once, 80-75. They also face the worst offensive team in the conference in Canisius. Canisius is also the worst free throw shooting team in the Metro Atlantic. There's actually not much to find plus marks with Canisius on either offense or defense as their defense ranks 9th in conference play. Manhattan does have some positives in conference play as they rank 6th in offense, third in 2-point field goal percentage and 4th in free throw percentage. Canisius Griffins just 7-16 on the season and have lost four straight games. Not sure how they are a 2-point favorite here today. I like Manhattan to win this game outright. Play Manhattan. |

02-05-22 | SMU +2 v. Wichita State | 57-72 | Loss | -113 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
The SMU Mustangs bring a five game sin streak into this afternoons contest at Wichita State. The Mustangs are also 13-1 over their last 14 games. They have also covered nine of their last 12 games. SMU is in the top three in the conference in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Their only knock is turnovers as they are 9th in the league. Wichita State Shockers are 12-8 S/U and 8-11 ATS on the season. While the Shockers have won eight of 12 at home, they have only covered four of those games. Unfortunately, they 7th in offensive efficiency and 8th in defensive efficiency. They do have the best free throw shooting team in the conference. Not enough though to make up for this lack of power on both sides of the ball. Play SMU. |

02-05-22 | Troy State +1.5 v. Georgia Southern | 61-52 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
The Troy Trojans are 15-7 this season and have a two-game win streak as they head into play today. The Trojans are coming off a win at Georgia State, 67-63 as a 6.5-point dog. That makes them 5-2 ATS in their last seven games. The Trojans are in the top third in the nation in defense. However, in conference play they have the best defensive efficiency and the 2nd best defensive FG% of 44%. the offense could be better though as they rank in the bottom third of the conference. Georgia Southern is 11-9 overall on the season and have won three games both S/U and ATS. The win streak snapped a three game losing streak and five of six losing streak. The Eagles offense is bad, especially in conference where they rank dead last in efficiency, 3-point field goals (24.5%) and Free throws (63.8%). The defense is fair but nothing great. It's this offense that worries me, especially when they are laying points as they are today. I'll take Troy. |

02-05-22 | Middle Tennessee +11 v. UAB | 75-97 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are 14-6 after winning five straight games as they head to UAB today. The Raiders are coming off a win at Western Kentucky, 93-85 as a 6-point dog. They have covered five of their last six games. The defense is very good, especially in conference play where they are ranked 3rd in efficiency, 1st in turnovers, 3rd in 3-point field goals allowed and 1st in blocks. The offense isn't anything great, but they are about middle of the pack. The UAB Blazers are 17-5 S/U on the season and look to rebound from a loss in their last game at Marshall, 81-84 as a 10.5-point favorite. That loss was only their second in their last 10 games. UAB is near the top of the conference in both offense and defense. This is a solid performing team. Still, laying double digits to a decent Mid Tenn State team is more than I believe they can cover. Play Mid Tennessee State. |

02-05-22 | Notre Dame +1.5 v. NC State | 69-57 | Win | 100 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hope to build on their win at Miami Florida last game, 68-64 as a 4.5-point favorite. The Irish have now covered eight of their last 10 games. The Irish have the 4th ranked defensive efficiency in the ACC this year. They also have a very good 3-point defense, ranked 2nd in the conference. The Irish have now lost just two times in their last 13 games. NC State not having a good year at just 10-13 overall and riding a three game losing streak. They have also lost five of their last six overall and covered just one of their last six games. The Pack have one of the worst defenses in the country, ranked 248th in defensive efficiency, 291st in defensive FG% and 300th in rebounding. Those numbers get even worse in conference where they are last in all three. I look for Notre Dame to take care of business here today. |

Horizon league action here on Saturday has Youngstown State taking on Illinois Chicago. The Youngstown State Penguins are 6th in the conference right now with a 7-6 conference record and 13-10 overall mark. The Penguins look to win their fourth straight game here today after beating IUPUI last Thursday, 61-55. Though they failed to cover the 12.05 point road line they are still 4-2 ATS their last six games. Illinois Chicago Flames not having a good year as they sit 8th in the conference with a 4-7 record and 8-12 overall mark. They are coming off a home win over Robert Morris, 80-75, but failed to cover the 5.5 point line. That win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Flames and they are just 1-4 ATS their last five games. They haven't been all that good at home either, going 3-5 S/u and 2-5 ATS. Not sure why Illinois Chicago is laying 1.5-points here today. I think the oddsmaker has the wrong favorite and I'll take those points. Play Youngstown State. |

They also have the best 2-point defense in conference games and best offensive 2-point field goal percentage at 62%). Florida State is 13-8 S/U and brings a 3-game losing streak both S/U and ATS into today's contest. The Seminoles have not done well in conference play, with both the 11th ranked offense and defense efficiency. They also have the 14th ranked conference effective defensive FG% of 54.5%. Their isn't much to be excited about this Seminoles team. Take Wake Forest. |

While the Thunder aren't winning many games S/U they are 4-1 ATS their last five and and 8-3-1 ATS their last 12 games. The Portland Trailblazers look to snap a 3-game losings streak here tonight. They have also lost three straight vs the spread. The Thunder are now 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games. Portland is 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. I like the Thunder to continue their covering here tonight. |

02-03-22 | San Jose State +20.5 v. Utah State | 62-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
San Jose State likely not going anywhere this year with their 7-13 record. However, they do have a 10-9 ATS mark on the season and 5-4 ATS on the road. This will be the biggest dog so far this year that the Spartans will be in the PAC-12 conference play. Utah State is 13-9 S/U on the season and they have won three straight games both S/U and ATS. That small win streak coming after they lost four straight games. The Aggies are coming off a win at home against Air Force, 73-46 as a 15-point favorite. While the Aggies should win this one pretty easily, I believe this is just too many points to lay. Take the big dog here on San Jose State. |

UNC Wilmington Seahawks have improved to 15-5 overall on the season thanks to their current 12-game winning streak. But what is most impressive is that they have covered the spread in ALL 12 of those games too. That includes their last game at home over Drexel, 70-63 as a 2-point favorite. The Hawks are now 6-3 S/U and 5-3-1 ATS overall on the road this season. The Elon Phoenix have struggled to their 6-16 S/U record.

They have lost two straight games including Saturday to Furman, 50-80 as a 6-point dog. Both teams have struggled of late and I will take the points in this one. Play Mercer. |

01-30-22 | 49ers +3.5 v. Rams | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 64 h 20 m | Show | |
The San Francisco 49ers hope their recent success against the LA Rams carries over into today's contest as these two teams play for the right to go to the Super Bowl. The 49ers have beaten the Rams six straight games. The dog has also covered this matchup the last six straight games. The 49ers got to this game with a win last week at Green Bay, 13-10. The 49ers offense wasn't very good in the extreme cold with just 106 yards rushing and 212 total yards. However, special teams made the difference with a blocked punt for a touchdown. Despite not having an offensive TD, the 49ers were good enough on defense and special teams. The Niners also blocked a Mason Crosby field goal. The Rams got here with a win at top seeded Tampa Bay last week, 30-27. The Rams looked like they would run away with this game, leading 27-3 at the half. But Tom Brady has a knack of bringing back teams and he did it again as they tied the game at 27 all. But Matthew Stafford did his own Brady impersonation and led the Rams to a field goal with just 42 seconds left on the clock. Stafford threw for 36 yards and two TD's. As for today's contest. I can't overlook the hold the 49ers have on the Rams of late. Plus I get 3 or 3 1/2 points. I'll take the points here with the 49ers. |

01-30-22 | Bengals v. Chiefs -7 | 27-24 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 39 m | Show | |
Cincinnati pulled off one of the two big upsets over the last weekend as they upended the top seed in the AFC, Tennessee by a 19-16 margin. Tennessee looked to be moving toward the game winning score late in the 4th when QB Tannehill threw an interception around mid-field. The Bengals moved the ball into field goal position and scored the game winning field goal. The Bengals held the Titans to just 353 total yards in the game despite the return of Derrek Henry. Now the Bengals have only the Chiefs in their way if they want to get to the Super Bowl. What can you say about the Chiefs win over the Bills, 42-36 other then Wow! Both teams combined for over 20 points and four lead changes in the final two minutes of the game. The Chiefs had to go over 40 yards in 10 seconds of regulation just to get the tying field goal and force the OT. Personally, the Bills might have had the worst coaching I've seen at the end of a game I've seen by allowing that to happen. Hard to go against the Cheifs at home in the playoffs as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven in that role. They have also covered eight of their last 10 games overall. I just don't have the faith in Burrows and the Bengals who haven't been in this position for over 30 years. Meanwhile we have Mahomes and the Chiefs who have won big games like this. I'll take the experience here today with the Chiefs. |

01-30-22 | Quinnipiac +2.5 v. Siena | 76-85 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
The Quinnipiac Bobcats got back on the winning track last game at home against Marist, 94-87 as a pick'em play. That was the team's fourth win in five nights and they are 3-1-1 ATS in those five games. The Cats are a small road dog here, something have been five times this year and they are 2-3 S/U and 3-2 ATS. The Siena Saints look to get back to the .500 mark here today with a win. The Saints are 7-8 S/U and ATS on the season. They snapped a two-game losing streak in their last game at home in a win over Niagara, 600-56 as a 2.5-point favorite. Not sure the Saints should be laying any points here, but that's ok, I'll take the points with Quinnipiac. |

01-30-22 | Fordham +2.5 v. George Washington | 55-64 | Loss | -109 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
Fordham looks to get back to the .500 mark today with their game at George Washington. The Rams are 8-9 on the season and have also lost four straight games. However, they have covered their last two games and eight of their last 10 games. George Washington Colonials are not having a good season at just 6-12 overall. They are doing slightly better vs the number at 7-10-1 ATS. The Colonials are 2-4 S/U and 3-3 ATS in their last six games. Getting a few points with Fordham looks good to me. Play Fordham here early on Sunday. |

01-29-22 | Grand Canyon +5.5 v. New Mexico State | 61-71 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Western Athletic Conference action late on the Saturday slate has fourth place Grand Canyon taking on third place New Mexico State. The Grand Canyon Antelopes are 14-4 overall and 5-2 in conference play. They will look to snap a 2-game losing streak here tonight after losing a pair of road games including last out at Sam Houston, 56-58, narrowly missing the -1.5 point cover. Those two losses were after a six-game win streak that also was 4-1 vs the spread. New Mexico State is 16-3 overall on the season and 6-1 in conference play. They have won 11 of their last 12 games and covered seven of their last 10 games. The Aggies are coming off a win at SF Austin, 72-58 as a 2-point dog. Both teams are very good but I'll take the points with the visitors in this one. |
|||||||
01-29-22 | Houston v. UCF +7 | 63-49 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Houston Cougars lead the American Athletic Conference with a perfect conference 6-0 record and overall 17-2 record. They take on Central Florida today that sits 7th in the conference with a 4-4 mark and overall 12-6 record. Houston has won nine straight games since their last loss on December 11th to Alabama. They are also 5-3 vs the spread their last eight games. They have only four true away games (not counting neutral site games) in which they are 3-1 S/U but just 2-2 vs the number. Central Florida getting around 6.5-points at home today. The Knights are coming off a road loss to Wichita State, 79-854 as a 3.5-point dog. UCF is 8-2 S/U at home this season which bodes well for them today. They have only been a home dog three times and they are 2-1 both S/U and ATS in those games. I'll take UCF at home here getting points. Play Central Florida. |

01-29-22 | Kings v. 76ers -10.5 | 101-103 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
The Sacramento Kings are struggling as they have lost five straight games and only covered one of those contests. Moreover, they are just 2-10 S/U their last 10 games and 3-9 ATS. The Kings are still hurting as guard De'Aaron Fox is still questionable with an ankle injury. The Kings have been pretty bad on the road too, going 6-16 S/U and 8-14 ATS this season. The Philadelphia 76ers are 29-19 S/U and 24-24 ATS on the season. They have won three straight games including their last game over the Lakers, 105-87 as a 4.5-point home favorite. They have been on a roll recently, going 13-3 S/U and 10-4 ATS. I'm going to lay the double digits here today and look for a Philly run away. |

01-29-22 | Maple Leafs -1.5 v. Red Wings | 7-4 | Win | 105 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
The Toronto Mapleleafs are 7th overall in the Eastern Conference with 55 points. They have a nice 11-6-2 away record this year and an overall +30 goal differential. The Leafs have won two straight games including last game at home over Anaheim, 4-3. Now they face a Detroit Redwings team that is ninth in the conference with 44 points. The Wings have a -28 goal differential this season. Detroit snapped a 3-game losing streak with a win in their last game at Pittsburgh, 3-2. That was just their third win in their last 10 games. I like the Leafs here tonight but the money line is just too high. Take Toronto on the puck line. |
|||||||
01-29-22 | VCU +3 v. Richmond | 64-62 | Win | 100 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
The VCU Rams are 12-6 overall on the season and a nifty 12-6 vs the spread too. The Rams have won two straight games including their last game over Davidson 70-68 as a 3.5-point dog. That makes the Rams 9-2 S/U and 8-3 ATS their last 11 games. They have been excellent on the road, going 5-1 both S/U and ATS and outscoring their opponents by a 64 to 60.3 average. The Richmond Spiders look to build on their three-game win streak here today. The Spiders have won three straight both S/U and ATS after their win at Rhode Island, 70-63 as a 2.5-point favorite. Richmond has a 7-2 record at home, but has only covered three of those nine home games. VCU getting 3 points here today is more than I need with this team. Play VA Commonwealth. |

01-29-22 | Middle Tennessee +6 v. Western Kentucky | Top | 93-85 | Win | 100 | 3 h 24 m | Show |
Despite just a 4-2 conference record and 13-6 overall record, the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are in first place in Group A of the Conference USA Standings. The Raiders have won four straight games after their win at Marshall on Thursday, 81-79 as a 2.5-point dog. They are also 4-1-1 ATS their last six games and 11-2-1 ATS their last 14 games. They will take on a Western Kentucky team that is only 2-5 in conference play and 10-10 overall on the season. Western sits 6th in Group A standings. The Hilltoppers look to snap a four-game losing streak here today. They are also 0-3-1 ATS in those games. Still, difficult for me to see why Western is a 6-point favorite today when they could easily lose this game outright. But, that's ok, I'll take the points with the better team. Play Mid Tenn State. |
|||||||
01-29-22 | Arkansas State +4.5 v. Coastal Carolina | 73-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
Arkansas State Red Wolves look to get back to winning here today at Coastal Carolina. The Wolves had their three-game win streak snapped last time out at Appalachian State, 54-61 as a 3.5-point dog. That dropped them to 13-5 overall on the season and 8-7 vs the spread. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are 12-8 overall on the season and have won three straight games. That includes last time at at Arkansas Little Rock, 65-49 as a 10.5-point favorite. Coastal is also 9-7 vs the number this season. I look at these two teams as being very evenly matched with a slight edge to Arkansas State. That being said I see this Carolina line at 4.5-point favorite as just too high. Arkansas State can win this game and that's what I look for here today. Play Arkansas State. |
|||||||
01-28-22 | Cleveland State +2 v. Wright State | 71-67 | Win | 100 | 19 h 40 m | Show | |
The Cleveland State Vikings are having a fine season with a 13-4 record. They have won three straight games and seven of their last eight games. They are coming off a win over Robert Morris, 75-68, but failed to cover the 13-point favorite line. These teams have already met once with Cleveland State winning at home, 85-75 as a 2.5-point favorite. Wright State dropped to 11-9 on the season after losing their last game at Northern Kentucky, 63-73 as a 2-point road favorite. The Raiders have split their last four games while going 2-4 ATS their last six games. Wright State is 6-1 S/U at home, but covered just two of it's six games. I'll take the visitor in this one. Play Cleveland State. |

01-28-22 | Bulls -1.5 v. Spurs | 122-131 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 18 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bulls improved to 30-17 after their win on Wednesday over the Toronto Raptors, 11-105 as a 3.5-point favorite. That was their second straight win. The Bulls are now 23-11-1 their last 35 games when favored. Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs dropped to 18-31 overall and 25-24 vs the spread with their loss on Wednesday to Memphis, 110-118 as a 4-point home dog. The Spurs have lost three of their last four both S/U and ATS. They are also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 overall games. The Spurs are also 0-6 ATS in their last six games as a dog. I like the Bulls here tonight and will lay the small number. |
|||||||
01-28-22 | Jazz v. Grizzlies -3.5 | 109-119 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
The Utah Jazz are 30-19 S/U and 22-27 ATS on the season, though they have fallen on some hard times of late. The Jazz lost last game to the Suns, 97-105, failing to cover the 1.5-point home dog line. That was the club's third loss in a row and their ninth in their last 11 games. They are also 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games. Injuries continue to be an issue for the club as Rudy Gobert will be out today with a calf injury and Donovan Mitchell is questionable with a concussion. The Memphis Grizzlies improved to 33-17 with their win over San Antonio on Wednesday, 118-110 as a 4-point road favorite. The Grizzlies have been very good to bettors with a 32-18 spread mark this year. With the Jazz injuries I'm sticking with a very good Memphis team here today. |
|||||||
01-28-22 | Lakers v. Hornets -6.5 | 114-117 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
The LA Lakers finally were 100% healthy last night for their game at Philadelphia, but it didn't help as they lost 87-105 as a 6- point dog. The Lakers are in the Pacific division and that's bad since the Suns and Warriors are also in that division. So, that Lakers healthy streak ends at one game. Lebron James is expected out for this game because of a knee injury and Anthony Davis hurt his wrist and is questionable. The Charlotte Hornets are 27-22 S/U and 30-18-1 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win at Indiana last game, 158-126 as a 2-point favorite. That makes them 8-3 S/U and ATS their last 11 games. Bad situation here tonight for the Lakers. Not only are they playing the second of a back-to-back spot, but they likely will do so without their two best players. I'll take the Hornets in this one. |

01-28-22 | Ohio +3.5 v. Buffalo | 74-53 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
MAC action here on Friday has the 15-3 Ohio U Bobcats taking on Buffalo. The Cats won their last game out at home to Northern Illinois, 74-62 as a 18-point favorite. Ohio has now won 10 of their last 11 games overall while going 5-6 vs the spread. The Buffalo Bulls are 9-7 S/U and 8-7 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at Toledo, 75-86 as a 4.5-point dog. That loss snapped a four game win streak by the Bulls. A bit shocked to find Ohio a 3 1/2 point dog here today. I like that price and will take it. |

01-28-22 | IUPU Ft Wayne +3 v. Northern Kentucky | Top | 49-59 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 39 m | Show |
IPFW Mastodons are 11-8 S/U on the season and looking to build on their three-game win streak. The Mastodons are coming off a win over Youngstown State, 82-71 as a 4-point favorite. They have also covered eight of their last nine games. This will be their second meeting with Northern Kentucky, having beaten them at home back on December 4th, 71-57 as a 2-point dog. The Northern Kentucky Norse are just 8-9 but are on a three-game win streak. They are coming off a win over Wright State, 73-63 as a 2-point dog. The Norse have covered just two of their seven home games this season. Getting a couple of points here on Friday with IPFW looks good to me as I expect a straight-up win. |

01-27-22 | Wolves v. Warriors -6 | 115-124 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |

The Warriors have the second best record in the NBA at 35-13 S/U and 27-21 ATS. They have won three straight games including last time out vs Dallas, 130-92. The Warriors do well in the role of the favorite, going 16-7-1 their last 24 games. The Warriors have covered their last four in this series with the Timberwolves and I'll take them here again tonight. Play Golden State. |
|||||||
01-27-22 | East Carolina +12.5 v. Memphis | 54-71 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The East Carolina Pirates are 11-7 S/U on the season and 10-8 vs the spread. The Pirates have lost two straight games and four of their last five. However, as a dog in each of their last six games they have covered four of those contests. The Pirates are also 2-1 ATS as a road dog this year. The Memphis Tigers are 10-8 S/U and 5-12-1 vs the number. The Tigers are coming off a win at Tulsa, 83-81, but failed to cover the 3-point favorite line. That makes six straight games they have failed to cover the spread. They are also 4-10-1 ATS their last 15 games. Memphis has had issues covering spreads, yet here they are a double digit favorite. I'll take those points with East Carolina. |

This will be the second meeting between these teams with Purdue taking the Dec 3rd meeting at home, 77-70 but failing to cover the 13-point line. Much more manageable line here tonight with Purdue laying 2-points. I'll take the visitors in this game. |

01-27-22 | Oral Roberts v. Nebraska-Omaha +13.5 | 100-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles look to rebound from their loss last Saturday to North Dakota State, 71-72 as a 7-point home favorite. That loss snapped a six game winning streak. The Eagles are 11-6 ATS on the season. They are 0-4 S/U and 2-2 ATS as an away dog this season. The Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks are 3-17 S/U and looking to snap a five game losing streak here tonight. They have done better vs the spread with a 4-2 ATS their last six games. Their three wins have come at home where they are also 5-4 vs the spread. Omaha getting around 13-points at home is a lot for a road team to lay. Especially when Omaha has proved they can cover spreads. I'll take the generous points with Nebraska Omaha. |

The Lakers are playing their fourth road game in a row and are 2-1 both S/U and ATS thus far after their win at Brooklyn on Tuesday, 106-96 as a 4-point favorite. The Lakers look to be fully healthy tonight as F Anthony Davis is probable with a knee injury. The Philadelphia 76ers are 28-19 on the season and 23-24 vs the spread. The Sixers have won two straight including last time over New Orleans, 117-107 as a 11-point favorite. They have covered just two of their last five games.

01-26-22 | Suns -1.5 v. Jazz | 105-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
The Utah Jazz will continue to play without two of their best players tonight as Donavan Mitchell (25.5 ppg) and Rudy Gobert (15.9 ppg) will both miss tonight's contest with injuries. The Jazz played on Monday at Phoenix and gave them all they had in a 109-115 loss to the Suns. They led off and on for most of the first three quarters before losing late. The Jazz have struggled of late, going 0-2 in their last two games and 2-8 S/U in their last 10. They have also struggled vs the number, going 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. The Phoenix Suns will get another crack at the Jazz here in this back-to-back series, this time in Utah. The Suns have won seven straight games and 10 of their last 11. They have also covered the spread in 7 of the last 11 with one push. These teams going in opposite directions right now. I'll take the Suns on the road laying the short price. |

I look for Kentucky to rebound here tonight at home where they have yet to lose. Play Kentucky. |

The Rockets are coming off a loss to Golden State 103-105 as a 11-point dog. The Rockets have covered three straight but are just 5-12 ATS their last 17 games. The Spurs are 5-2-1 ATS the last eight meetings with the Rockets. I look for them to take this one also. Play San Antonio. |

The Fordham Rams look to stay above the .500 mark tonight as they travel to Dayton to face the Flyers.

01-25-22 | Michigan State +5 v. Illinois | 55-56 | Win | 100 | 5 h 0 m | Show | |
Big 10 action here tonight has 15-3 Michigan State taking on Illinois. The Spartans rebounded from their Jan 15th loss at home to Northwestern with a win at Wisconsin on Friday, 86-74 as a 3.5-point road dog. That makes the Spartans 10-1 S/U their last 11 games and 5-4 ATS the last nine games. Illinois is 13-5 S/U but has lost two straight games after their setback at Maryland last games, 65-81 as a 4.5-point favorite. Illinois is 8-2 S/U and 6-4 ATS at home. Illinois center Kofi Cockburn is questionable tonight. He averages 21.1 ppg this season. Illinois laying points here tonight might be too much against this Michigan State team, especially if their center is hurting. Play Michigan State. |

01-25-22 | Wright State -1.5 v. Northern Kentucky | 63-73 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
The Wright State Raiders are 11-8 overall on the season and have won two straight games. They are coming off a win at Illinois Chicago, 97-81 as a 2.5-point favorite. In fact, they have played four straight on the road and have a 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS mark. The Raiders have also won nine of their last 10 games overall. Meanwhile, Northern Kentucky will look to build on their modest two-game win streak and improve on their 7-9 overall record. The Norse are just 4-11 vs the number this year and 1-5 vs the spread at home. This game is about two points on Wright State and that means we just need little more than outright win here tonight. Play Wright State. |

01-25-22 | Siena +15.5 v. Iona | 57-74 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
Iona has been the powerhouse of the Metro Atlantic Conference this year with a 16-3 S/U record. Rick Patino has done wonders with this Gaels team. They have won five straight games and 10 of their last 11. They haven't been quite as good vs the spread with a 3-4 mark their last seven games. The Siena Saints don't look to win this game here tonight at Iona. However, with a 15-point dog line that is a big number for this Iona team to cover. The Saints have won and covered four of their last five games, but lost last time out at Manhattan, 68-75 as a 2-point dog. For me, this is too many points and while Iona should win easily, I expect a Siena cover. |

01-24-22 | Jazz v. Suns -9.5 | 109-115 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
The Utah Jazz playing their second of a back-to-back spot here tonight at the NBA's best team, Phoenix. They played the second best team last night and lost at Golden State, 92-94 but covered the 5-point dog spread. Still, that is their third loss in the last four games both S/U and ATS. The Phoenix Suns have the NBA's best record at 36-9 S/U and a decent 25-19-1 spread mark. The Suns have won six straight games and are 4-1-1 ATS. They are coming off a win over Indiana, 113-103, but failed to cover the 11.5-point spread. I like the Suns tonight. They get a somewhat tired Jazz team here tonight. |

The Kansas Jayhawks are 16-2 S/U overall this year and have a four game win streak going. One of their losses this year came at Texas Tech back on January 8th, 67-75 as a 7-point favorite. The Jayhawks are 8-9-1 vs the number and 5-3-1 vs the spread at home. Should be another excellent contest here tonight. I'll take Texas Tech again in this one. |

They are coming off a pair of wins over Idaho State including the last one at home, 95-63 as a 16.5-point favorite. The Cats have also covered four of their last five games. Southern Utah Thunderbirds are 11-5 S/U, but just 4-10 vs the number. They have won two straight games including their last over Idaho State, 86-74 as a 16.5-point favorite. The birds have failed to cover any of their last four games and are 1-7 vs the spread their last eight games. I'll take the visitor here tonight. Play Weber State. |

The NY Knicks hope to get back to the .500 mark here tonight at Cleveland. The Knicks are coming off a win vs the Clippers 110-102 as a 4-point favorite. That win puts them at 23-24 S/U and ATS overall on the season. That win by the Knicks snapped a 3-game losing streak. Now they hit road tonight. The Cavs have been one of the surprise teams this year with a 28-19 S/U and 28-16-3 ATS marks. The Cavs are coming off a win over Oklahoma City, 84-87, though they failed to cover the 12-point line. They have won six of their last seven games and are 3-2-1 ATS their last six games. I have had good success this year backing the Cavs. I'll take them again here tonight. |

01-24-22 | Towson +1.5 v. Delaware | Top | 69-62 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show |
Colonial Athletic Association action here tonight has Towson taking on Delaware. The Towson State Tigers are 14-6 S/U overall on the season and had their five game win streak snapped in the last game by UNC Wilmington, 77-81 as a 9.5-point favorite. They have also been very good to bettors, going 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games. The Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens are 14-6 S/U on the season and have won three straight games since their loss to Hofstra. They are coming off a win over Elon, 80-77 as a 9-point favorite. They haven't done well vs the number though, going 4-8 ATS their last 12 games. Two very evenly matched teams here tonight. I'll take the points though with the visitors. Play Towson. |

01-24-22 | Florida v. Ole Miss +4.5 | 54-70 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show | |
SEC action here tonight has the 12-6 Florida Gators taking on Ole Miss. The Gators have won three straight games including last time out against Vandy, 61-42 as a 6.5-point favorite. The Gators are 10-8 overall vs the number this year. Now they hit the road, something they have done only three times this year (not including neutral site games). The Gators are just 1-2 both S/U and ATS in those three away games and have been outscored by an average 70.3 to 74 average. Ole Miss looks to get above the .500 mark tonight as they sit at 9-9 S/U overall. They also look to snap a four game losing streak both S/U and ATS. They are coming off a loss at Mississippi State, 60-78 as a 11-point dog. They have played decent at home with a 8-3 S/U mark. Florida could be without a key member of their team tonight as Collin Casleton is questionable with a shoulder injury. I'll take Ole Miss at home where they have been good this year. |

01-23-22 | Bills v. Chiefs -1.5 | 36-42 | Win | 100 | 44 h 43 m | Show | |
The Buffalo Bills advanced to the divisional round with little difficulty last week in the Wild Card round. The Bills blew out the Patriots, 47-17 as a 4.5-point favorite. The Bills had 174 yards rushing and 308 passing in a very balanced attack. They held the Pats to just 89 yards rushing and 216 yards passing. That makes five wins in a row for the Bills and a 4-0-1 Spread mark. Kansas City fell behind to Pittsburgh 0-7 early but rallied for 42-14 score the rest of the way en route to their win over the Steelers, 42-21 as a 12.5 point favorite. That makes nine wins in their last 10 games and a spread mark of 7-2 their last nine games. The Chiefs have covered five of the last seven games in this series with the Bills. With the line right around 1 1/2 or 2-points on the Chiefs, we need to likely just pick the winner here. I'll lay the 1 1/2 with the Chiefs at home. |

01-23-22 | Blazers v. Raptors -8 | 114-105 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
The Portland Trailblazers are 19-16 overall both S/U and ATS on the season. They are coming off a win at Boston on Friday, 109-105 as a 8-point dog. The Blazers are playing the last of a six game road swing where they are 3-2 SU and ATS. They will take on the Toronto Raptors here today. The Raptors are 22-21 S/U and 22-20-1 ATS. Toronto snapped a 2-game losing streak last game at Washington, 109-105. That wrapped-up a five-game road trip. The Raptors were 2-3 both S/U and ATS on that five-game road trip. I like Toronto at home here today. Lay the price with the Raptors. |
