The College of Charleston Cougars look to improve on their 5-2 S/U and ATS record as they hit the road tonight to take on Furman. The Cougars have won and covered two straight games and are coming off a home win over Tulane, 81-77 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Cougars have split their two road games, going 1-1 S/U and ATS thus far. The Furman Paladins are also 5-2 S/U and the season but just 3-3 ATS. They have won two straight games, but failed to cover both those wins. The Paladins are 2-1 S/U and 1-1 ATS at home. They are scoring well with a 85 ppg average this season and allowing 74.4 ppg. Charleston has shown they can win big games on the road and I'll take the points here today. Play College of Charleston. |

12-03-21 | Notre Dame v. Boston College +5 | 57-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Notre Dame is 3-3 S/U on the season but has yet to cover a game at 0-5 ATS. The Irish have also lost two straight games after starting the season 3-1. They have struggled against all the decent competition with their wins coming against poor teams. The Irish have one road game this year and that was their last game at Illinois where they lost 72-82 as a 4-point dog. Boston College is 5-3 S/U and 4-4 ATS this season. The Eagles are coming off a win at home over South Florida, 64-49 as a 5.5-point favorite. The defense has been very good, allowing 60.1 ppg this season. They have been very good at home too, going 5-0 S/U, 3-2 ATS and allowing just 57 ppg. BC should dominate this Irish team on their home court. Play Boston College. |

The Panthers are averaging just 62ppg and allowing 71.7 ppg this season. Yet, here we are with the Panthers laying five points tonight. In addition, they could be without one of their best players in Patrick Baldwin Jr, who is questionable with a ankle injury. Baldwin averages 15.3 ppg this season. Take Youngstown State tonight. |

12-02-21 | Bucks v. Raptors UNDER 215.5 | 93-97 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Milwaukee improved to 14-8 S/U, but dropped to 10-12 ATS after coming from behind to beat Charlotte last night, 127-125. The Bucks trailed for most of the game before a late rally caught the Hornets and then won in the last seconds. That extended their winning streak to eight straight games while they are 4-4 ATS during that span. After such a rough game last night, they have to travel to Toronto tonight for the second of a back-to-back spot here. The Bucks are 7-17 O/U in their last 24 times they have played with no rest. They are also 6-13 O/U in their last 19 overall games. Toronto is 9-13 S/U and 8-14 ATS on the season. The Raptors are 0-3 both S/U and ATS in their last three games and have a 1-2 O/U mark in that span. These teams have gone under in seven of the last eight meetings and five of the last seven at Toronto. I'll take the UNDER here tonight with what is likely a tired Milwaukee club. |

The Miami Heat are 13-8 S/U and ATS on the year. The Heat are coming off a loss at home to Denver, 111-120 as a 3-point favorite. The Heat have lost four of their last five games vs the number.

Tech started the season with five straight wins, but have lost their last two to Memphis (61-69) and then last game at home to Xavier, 58-59 as a 5-point favorite. Maryland is also 5-2 S/U but have covered just two of their seven games. They are coming off a loss against Louisville, 55-63, as a 2.5-poing dog. Both teams are playing well overall, but the Terps have not been good at covering spreads. I'll take the road team here today. Play Virginia Tech. |

They have also played four home games and a pair of tourney games. The one bad thing is that the Pack has covered just one game and that was last time out vs La Tech, 90-81, covering the 3.5-point line. The 6.5-points they are laying tonight is just too many to a good team like Nebraska. Take the dog here, play Nebraska. |

They are coming off a loss at home to the Knicks, 90-99, as a 7.5-point favorite. That loss snapped a seven-game win streak for Atlanta and during that win streak they were 6-1 ATS. The Pacers have a bit to go to get to the .500 mark with a 9-14 S/U and 12-11 ATS spread record. The Pacers have lost two straight games including last game at Minnesota, 98-100 as a 3.5-point dog. That makes the Pacers 3- 6 S/U and 4-5 ATS during their last nine games. The Hawks are 13-6-1 ATS their last 19 games vs a team with a win % below .400. The Hawks have been the hotter team and that's who I'm sticking with here tonight. Play Atlanta. |

Their one road game came at Delaware, where they lost 82-85, but covered the 7-point dog line. The Temple Owls look to build on two straight wins with this game tonight vs Lasalle. The Owls are coming off a win at home to Delaware, 75-74, but failed to cover the 3.5-point favorite line. Temple laying 7-points here tonight. For me that too many points for a city rivalry. I'll take the points in this one. Play Lasalle. |

Golden State continues to show they are the frontrunner right now as the best team in the NBA as they are 18-2 S/U and 16-4 ATS on the season. The Warriors have won and covered seven straight games as they travel tonight to Phoenix to take on the Suns. The Warriors are also 7-1 S/U and 6-2 ATS on the road and outscoring their hosts by a 109.9 to 100.6 margin. As good as the Warriors are, the Suns are right behind them at 17-3 S/U and 11-9 ATS on the season. The Suns have won 16-straight games and are 10-6 ATS during that span. This looks to be a great game in the Western conference tonight. For me I'm taking the UNDER here tonight. The Warriors are 0-6 O/U in their last six road games against a winning home club. They are also 2-7 O/U in their last nine games overall. But what sways me most is that eight of the last nine meetings between these teams have gone UNDER and 19 of the last 26 in Phoenix have gone under. Enjoy the game, take the UNDER. |

Points won't matter in this one so need to pick the outright winner and for me that's Northwestern. |

11-24-21 | VCU v. Syracuse -5 | 67-55 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
Battle 4 Atlantis College Tourney action here today from Atlantis Grand Island has Virginia Commonwealth taking on Syracuse. The VCU Rams are 2-2 S/U and ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at home to UT Chattanooga on Saturday, 54-56 as a 3.5-point favorite. They will take on Syracuse in the opening round of this tourney. The Orange are 2-1 S/U and 1-2 ATS thus far and coming off a Saturday loss to Colgate, 85-100 as a 11.5-point favorite. The Orange will want to get that taste out of their mouths when they play VCU here today. VCU saw their season end early as they had to withdraw from the NCAA tournament due to Covid issues. I look for VCU to have a hard time cracking this Syacuse zone defense here today. I'll lay the points with Syracuse. |

11-24-21 | Vermont v. Appalachian State +5 | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 3 h 41 m | Show | |
Gulf Coast Showcase final round action has Vermont taking on Appalachian State today from Estero, FL. The Vermont Catamounts are 4-2 S/U and 2-3 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win last night to Evansville, 58-49. This will be their third game in three nights after losing to Oakland in round one of the tournament, 61-63. The will face a Appalachian Moutaineers team that is 3-3 S/U and 1-4 ATS on the season. The Mountaineers are coming off a win over Akron in the tourney, 57-45 as a 2-point dog. They lost in the opening round to Delaware, 68-75 as a 3-point dog. These tournaments are very tough on teams and test their depth as this is the only time of the year they play three games in three nights. I'll take the points in what I expect to be a tight contest. Play App St. |

11-24-21 | Loyola-Chicago +2.5 v. Michigan State | 61-63 | Win | 100 | 1 h 11 m | Show | |
Early action today from the Battle 4 Atlantis first round from Atlantic Paradise Island has Loyola Chicago taking on Michigan St. The Loyola Ramblers off to a fast start at 4-0 S/U and 2-2 S/U. The Ramblers have had a few days off before this tourney after beating Illinois Chicago on Saturday, 80-63. The Ramblers have been at least 18-point favorites in every game thus far. So today's 2.5- point dog line will come as a bit of shock to them. Then again, they are moving up in grade against Big 10 foe Michigan St. The Spartans are 3-1 S/U and ATS this season. They lost their opening game to Kansas 74-87 and since have beaten Western Michigan, Butler and Eastern Michigan, all by at least 19-points. Should be a great game, I'm going to take Loyola here though. |

11-23-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -6.5 | 100-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |

They are just 2-5 S/U and ATS on the road and being outscored by a 102.0-108.9 margin. The Nuggets have lost four straight games both S/U and ATS. Their last win came against these Blazers on Nov 14th at home, 124-95. Portland is also 9-8 S/U and 8-9 ATS on the year. The Blazers are much better at home where they are 8-1 S/U and 7-2 ATS and outscoring their visitors by a 116.1-104.9 margin. The Blazers have won three straight games both S/U and ATS. I look for Portland to continue their home dominance against a struggling Denver team tonight. Play Portland. |

11-23-21 | Fordham v. Delaware -6.5 | 71-81 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Gulf Coast Showcase from Estero FL here today. The Fordham Rams look to build on their most recent game, a win over Akron, 63-43. That snapped a two-game losing skid. The bad spot on the resume is a home loss to Maryland Eastern Shore, 73-75 as a 12.5-poing favorite. The Delaware Blue Hens are 3-1 and after losing their opening game of the season to Davidson they have rattled off three straight wins. The Hens are 2-2 vs the number. The Hens are laying 6.5 here today. They have played much better competition and played much better. I'll take Delaware. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Heat -9.5 v. Pistons | 100-92 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat off to a very good start at 11-6 S/U and 12-5 ATS on the season. The Heat haven't been great on the road with a 5-5 S/U and 6-4 ATS mark, but are still outscoring their hosts by a 108.7-105.1 margin. The Heat are coming off a loss at Washington last game, 100-103 as a 2.5-point favorite. That loss snapped a four game win streak. As for Detroit, new year, same old song. The Pistons are 4-12 S/U and 7-9 ATS overall. They are 2-7 S/U and 4-5 at home and being outscored by a 99.7 to 107 ppg average. The Pistons have lost two in a row and are coming off a loss to the Lakers, 116-121, though they did cover the 7-point line. Heat just too good and while this is a lot to lay on the road, I have no confidence in the Pistons. Play Miami. |

11-23-21 | George Mason +3.5 v. Nevada | 69-88 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
The George Mason Patriots have looked pretty good to start the season at 4-2 S/U and ATS. They started 4-0 before dropping their last two games, including last night vs Washington, 74-77. Tonight, they play a team they would normally never play in Nevada. This game will be played in Sioux Falls, North Dakota. Nevada is still smarting from their defeat last night by South Dakota State, 75-102 as a 2.5-point dog. The Wolf pack opened the year with a win over Eastern Washington and have since dropped four straight games and are 1-3 vs the number in that span. Defense has been the issue, as they have allowed 73 or more points in all five games for an average allowed of 84.4 ppg. Now they have to lay around 5-points to a very good GM team? I don't think so, I'll take Mason and even look for an outright win. |

11-23-21 | Wisconsin v. Houston -7.5 | Top | 65-63 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
MAUI Invitational Second round action has the Wisconsin Badgers taking on the Houston Cougars. The Badgers beat the Texas A&M Aggies in the first round yesterday, 69-58 and covering the 3-point line. Wisconsin is now 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS on the season. The Badgers shooting has not been good, hitting over 40% from the field in just one of four games. The defense is good as it is always, holding opponents to just 53.3 ppg on the season. Houston had little trouble with Butler in the opening round, 70-52, covering the 10-point spread. The Cougars are 4-0 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the season. In fact, they have won their last games by 18 (Butler), 20 (Virginia) and 27 (Rice). All impressive wins. They are holding their opponents to just 55 ppg and scoring 74.8 ppg. Always tough in these tournaments playing back to back games as they are today. Houston is just too good on offense and almost equal on defense. I'll lay the points in what I believe won't be a close game. Play Houston. |

The Wildcats are coming off a win over Farleigh Dickinson, 82-46, as a 24.5-point favorite. They Cats have shot really well from 3-point arc, 33% or better in all games. Should be a great game, but I'll take the Friars in this one. Take Providence. |

The Cougars are coming off their first loss of the season last time out against North Carolina, 83-94, but covered the 12.5-point dog line. The Cougars have outrebounded three of their four opponents so far. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are 4-1 S/U and 3-2 ATS so far. The Cowboys one loss came in a big upset by Oakland, 55-56 as a 17-point favorite. They are coming off a win in their last game over NC State, 74-68 as a 4.5-point favorite. The Cougars getting 16 points here should be enough for them to come in under that number. take the dog, play College of Charleston. |

The Harvard Crimson is 3-1 S/U and 2-0 ATS so far this season. They are coming off a win over MIT, 98-52. Their last board game was a win at Albany, 60-53 as a 6.5-point favorite. This might have been a nice test for the Crimson tonight, however Seina is 0-4 S/U and ATS on the season. The Saints are coming off a loss at Georgetown, 65-83 as 15.5-point dogs. They have yet to be a favorite in a game. Again here tonight, they are the dog on their home court to Harvard. This Siena team lost by 20 points at home to Delaware and I believe Harvard is better then they are. I'll lay the points with Harvard. |

The Pirates are coming off a huge win over Michigan, 67-65 as a 8-point road dog. The Pirates look to be the real deal and I look for them to beat their second straight Big-10 team here tonight. Play Seton Hall. |

11-21-21 | Knicks v. Bulls -5 | 103-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
The New York Knicks in the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here tonight. The Knicks won, but didn't cover last night at home against Houston, 106-99. However, they trailed for almost all the first three quarters of that game. The Knicks have been hit and miss lately, going 2-3 the last five and 4-6 their last 10. They have to face a Chicago Bulls team that is 11-5 S/U and ATS on the season. The Bulls played Friday at Denver and came away with the win, 114-108 as a 1-point road dog. That was their third win and cover in their last four games. The Knicks have to be tired after a tough battle last night and then hitting the road for today's contest. Good spot here for the Bulls. Play Chicago. |

11-21-21 | Villanova +3.5 v. Purdue | 74-80 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
Hall of Fame Basketball Tip off Finals today from Uncasville, CT has 3-1 Villanova taking on 4-0 Purdue for the crown of this tourney. Villanova could easily be 4-0 if they didn't collapse at the end of their game at UCLA back on Nov 12 and then lose in OT. Still, the Cats are 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS. Purude does come into this final undefeated at 4-0 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over North Carolina, 93-84. They also have wins over Wright St, Indiana St and Bellarmine. The Boilermakers have scored at least 90 points in all four games. This looks to be one of the best games of the day with two top 10 ranked teams facing off. I'll take the couple of points though. Take Villanova. |

11-20-21 | Hornets v. Hawks -6.5 | 105-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Charlotte Hornets having a decent season at 10-7 both S/U and ATS. The Hornets are one of the few teams that are averaging in the high numbers with a 112.8 ppg average and 113.6 ppg allowed average. Those numbers are even a bit higher allowed on the road where they average 111.3 and allow 115.6 ppg. The Hornets bring a five-game win streak into today's contest at Atlanta, but S/U and ATS. They are coming off a win at home over Indiana, 121-118 as a 1-point dog. The Hornets hit the road here today after a four-game home stand. The road wasn't kind in their last trip, going 1-4 S/U and ATS. Atlanta Hawks are 7-9 S/U and 6-10 ATS on the season. The Heat are about even in scoring with 109 ppg for and 109.5 ppg against. After a stint that saw the club go 0-6 both S/U and ATS they have now won and covered their last three. They have also been scoring with 120, 129 and 110 points in those three games. The team has done well at home with a 6-1 S/U and ATS record in seven games. They have also outscore their visitors by a 115-7 - 104 margin.

The Dallas Mavericks are 9-5 S/U and 6-7-1 ATS on the season. The Mavs have been outscored though, 104.5 to 105.6 overall. The Mavs and Suns just played on Wednesday with the Mavs losing 98-105, but covering the 8-point spread. Today, they look to be without one of their best players in Luka Doncic, who is doubtful with an ankle injury. Doncic averages 24.9 ppg this year. The Suns improved to 11-3 on the season with that win over the Mavericks. Phoenix started the season 1-3 and have now won 10 straight games and are 7-3 ATS during that spread. I look for the Suns to take this second game too, an with Doncic likely out they should get the cover in this one. Play Phoenix. |

The Florida International Golden Panthers are 2-1 S/U and 1-1 ATS after three games. The Panthers are coming off a win and cover over Ball State, 73-60 as a 1.5-point favorite. They also played Georgia, losing 51-58 as a 6.5-point dog, narrowly missing the cover. They play a Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix team that is still looking for their first win of the season against three losses. The Phoenix lost to Indiana State in their opener, 77-81 as a 2.5-point dog. Then lost at Wiscosin, 34-72 as a 21-point dog and then lost last time out to UNC Greensboro, 58-60, but covering the 10-point dog line. This is not a very good Green Bay team and today they will find it difficult to get that first win against a very good FIU club. Play FIU. |

They are coming off a win over Vermont, 68-57, just covering the 9-point line. Unlike Mason, they have shot 36.7% vs Vermont and 37.5% vs George Washington. They play a very good George Mason team here today and are laying right around 10-points. Their field goal shooting has me concerned though. I'll take the points in this one. Play George Mason. |

The Drexel Dragons are 1-1 beating Neumann College 103-74 and then losing last game at Syracuse, 60-75 as a 15.5-point dog. Syracuse shot great from the field, 55.6% and 50% from 3-point arc. St Josephs Hawks are 2-0 coming into tonight. The Hawks have two softball wins on their resume, 69-67 over Maryland Eastern Shore and 80-60 over Mount St Marys. They covered against St Marys but didn't against Eastern Shore. The latter a 24.5-point favorite and they won the game by just 2-points. Can't put a lot of stock in St Joe's early wins, especially the one they were 24.5-point favorites. This is a team that was 5-15 last year and 11-41 in the two years under HC Billy Lange. Drexel made the NCAA last year and have Wynter back this year. I'll take Drexel here tonight. |

Last game they won easily against Prairie View A&M, 77-49 as a 23.5-point favorite. The Pirates should be taken lightly as they rank 35th in the Kenpom power rankings. This Pirates team also has experience and depth which they will need tonight. The Pirates will be able to run bodies in and out of the game and I fully expect them to hang with the Wolverines. Play Seton Hall. |

St Louis Freshman Gibson Jimerson has been a early bright star, averaging 18.7 ppg through the first 3 contests. Memphis has aspirations of a long trip through the NCAA's this year. This Tigers teams is expected to be one of the best defensive teams in the nation this year. This Memphis team looks to be a early favorite in the country to win and win big. Yes, St Louis is undefeated, however they haven't faced a dynamic team like Memphis yet. This is just too much quality for the Billikens. Play Memphis. |

11-16-21 | Warriors +3.5 v. Nets | 117-99 | Win | 100 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors look to be the early surprise team at 11-2 S/U and 9-4 ATS on the season. The Warriors are coming off only their 2nd loss of the season at Charlotte, 102-106. That snapped a 7 game win streak both S/U and ATS. The Warriors are 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS on the road. They are outscoring their hosts 112-106 in the four games. The Nets are 10-4 S/U and 7-7 ATS on the season. The Nets have won three straight and covered two of those. They are 4-2 S/U and 3-3 ATS at home and outscoring opponents 105.2-100.7. This looks to be a great game, but I'll take the points with the Warriors who can win this outright. |

11-16-21 | Austin Peay v. IUPU Ft Wayne -7 | 60-65 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
The Austin Peay GOvernors take their 1-1 record on the road to Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne here tonight. The Governors opened the season with a slim win over Martin Methodist, 86-79. They were outshot from both the field and 3-point line in that contest. Last time out they went to Southern Illinois and lost badly, 55-73 as a 13.5-point dog, again getting outshot 39% to 57%. The defense has been horrible thus far and if they hope to compete tonight they will have to improve. IUPU-Fort Wayne is 1-0 after beating a overwhelmed Earlham College, 103-54. This will be their first real test tonight for the Mastodons. Austin Peay is 0-6 ATS in their last six road games while the Mastodons are 4-1 ATS overall their last five games. I don't like this Austin Peay defense, even against a poor opponent they played poorly. I'll lay the points tonight with Fort Wayne even though they only have one game played. Play IUPFW |

11-15-21 | Furman v. Belmont -6 | 89-95 | Push | 0 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
The Furman Paladins bring a 2-0 record into this evenings contest at Belmont. The Palidins pulled off the big upset win in their last game over Louisville in OT, 80-72. This followed their win over NCU-Greenville, 118-66. Furman shot 42.9% from three-point arc vs Louisville and held the Cardinals to just 36.2% overall shooting and 24.1% 3-point shooting. The Belmont Bruins are 1-1 to start the season. They lost their opener to Ohio U, 80-92 as a 4-point home favorite. Then followed with a win over Evansville, 81-43 as a 14-point favorite. Furman is only 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games and 0-8 ATS in their last eight game after a ATS win. Have to throw out that NCU Greenville game as everyone scores 100+ against that team. The Louisville win was a resume builder, but the fact that the Cardinals were just horrible and still forced OT is something to think about. I don't like Furman on the road and Belmont will build on their last win. Play Belmont. |

11-15-21 | Pelicans v. Wizards -4.5 | 100-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
New Orleans Pelicans won for just the second time this season in their last game at home over Memphis, 112-101. That makes them 2-12 S/U and 6-8 ATS on the season. They are 1-6 S/U and 2-5 ATS on the road, getting outscored 97.7 to 111.4 on the year. Meanwhile the Wizards are off to an excellent start at 9-3 S/U and 8-3-1 ATS. They are 5-1 S/U and 3-3 ATS at home. The Wizards have covered the last five meetings with the Pelicans in Washington and are 9-3 ATS the last 12 meetings overall. Don't see Washington having much trouble today with the Pelicans. Play Washington in a blowout. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Celtics v. Cavs +2.5 | 98-92 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
The Boston Celtics look to get back to the .500 mark here tonight at Cleveland. The Celtics are 6-7 S/U and 6-6-1 ATS on the season. They are 4-4 and 4-3-1 ATS on the road this year. They just played Cleveland on Saturday, losing 89-91 as a 1.5-point road favorite. The Cavs are not proving to be the pushover everyone expected, at least thus far. The Cavs are 9-5 S/U and 10-3-1 ATS on the season. They are 5-3 S/U and 4-1-1 ATS at home and outscoring their visitors by a 100.5 to 97.7 margin. Pretty much same line as Saturday. If the Cavs can keep this game slow and a half court game, then I see the same outcome. Play Cleveland. |

11-13-21 | Wolves v. Clippers UNDER 220.5 | 102-129 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
Unders seem to be the early trend thus far in the NBA as they outnumber the overs. And, the oddsmakers are adjusting their numbers down as we are seeing every day. The Minnesota T'Wolves snapped their six game losing streak last night in LA against the Lakers, 107-83 with the game going way under the 223 total. Now they face the Clippers for the their time this year. In the two previous games at Minnesota they lost both games S/U and ATS with one going under the other over. The Clippers played on Thursday and beat Miami, 112-109 for their sixth straight win. The Clippers are 5-6 O/U on the season. The Wolves are 4-12 O/U in their last 16 games. The last four meetings between these teams in LA have gone UNDER and that's what I look for again here on Saturday. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Texas +7.5 v. Gonzaga | 74-86 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
Battle of ranked teams here as No 5 Texas takes on top Ranked Gonzaga from the Great Northwest tonight. Texas gets the opportunity to show just how good they are tonight against the nation's top ranked team. If there is a game that Texas can catch Gonzaga sleeping a bit, this is the one early in the season. This Texas team is excellent on defense and they will need it against one of the best scoring teams in the nation. This early, I'll take a good defensive team like Texas in this spot. Take the points. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | UTEP +7.5 v. New Mexico State | 71-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
Rivalry game here tonight in the I-10 Battle has UTEP taking on New Mexico State from Las Cruces. UTEP opened the season with a win over Western New Mexico, 85-57. New Mexcico State also opened with a win over UC Irvine 62-51. UTEP has a new coach in Joe Golding. Golding led led Abilene Christian to a NCAA tournament last year. NM State always a good defensive team, it's on offense they need to find more points. They averaged just 71.1 ppg last year. The Aggies return three starters, but also lost some bench production too. I like this new coach for UTEP and will take the points with his new team tonight. Play UTEP. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Villanova +3.5 v. UCLA | 77-86 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
UCLA gets tested early as they host Villanova at Pauley Pavillion tonight. Both these teams are ranked in the top 5 in the country. Villanova opened with an easy winner over Mount St Mary's, 91-51 while UCLA had little trouble with Cal Bakersfield, 95-58. Villanova lost leading scorer Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to graduation but return plenty of talent on this team. UCLA is one of the best shooting teams in the nation. They are also one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the nation. They hit on 13-of-27 from three point land vs Bakersfield. This will be a high scoring affair tonight as both teams can shoot lights out. I'll take the dog in this one. Play Villanova. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Bulls v. Warriors OVER 222 | 93-119 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
A pair of top NBA teams meet here on Friday evening as the Golden State Warriors host the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls are also 8-3 ATS on the season with a 3-1 S/U and ATS road record. The Bulls have won two straight games over Dallas and Brooklyn. The Warriors are having an excellent season at 10-1 S/U and 8-3 ATS thus far. The Warriors only loss coming at home to Memphis back on Oct 28th, 101-104. This team scores too, 120 or more points in each of their last four games. They average 115.9 ppg on the season and 116.1 ppg at home. Both of these teams can put up the points and I'm looking for a high scoring game tonight. Play OVER. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | UL - Lafayette -3 v. Southern Miss | 66-45 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns opened their season on Tuesday with a win at home over West Florida, 81-47. The defense was outstanding, holding West Florida to just 27.3% from the field an 21.1% from 3-point arc. The Ragin' Cagins his 47.9% from the field though they need to improve on free throws, hitting just 45.5%. The play at Southern Miss tonight. The Golden Eagles got a win on Tuesday at home over William Carey, 81-57. One big problem for the Eagles is they got outrebounded 43-76. My numbers tonight show ULL a bigger favorite then what he have right now. I'll take ULL against a Southern Miss team that doesn't look to have a very good season. Play ULL |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Northern Colorado -2.5 v. Hawaii | 81-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Both these play their second games of the season tonight in Hawaii as the Warrior Rainbows host the Northern Colorado Bears. On Wednesday, the Bears beat Pacific, 67-65 and Hawaii beat Hawaii-Hilo, 97-67. No Colorado finished last year at 11-11 (6-8 in conference). Hawaii has had a winning record in each of their last five seasons, but that might a tall hill to climb this year as they will be without their top two scorers from last year in Justin Webster and James Jean-Marie. Both those players transferred out of Hawaii after last season. NO Colorado has all it's top players back from last year. Both teams will have to see about conditioning after playing last night. I am taking Northern Colorado as they have more returning talent back this year. |

11-11-21 | Pacers v. Jazz -10 | 111-100 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
The Indiana Pacers are off to a 4-8 S/U and 6-6 ATS start this season. The Pacers are coming off a loss at Denver, 98-101 as a 3-point favorite. They will play their fourth road game on this Western swing tonight at Utah. Problem is that the Pacers played last night in Denver, which is high altitude, and now plays in Salt Lake City which is also high altitude. Back-to-back is enough to take something from a team, let alone the altitude. Utah is 8-3 S/U and 7-4 ATS on the season. The Jazz had last night off after beating Atlanta on Tuesday, 110-98. That snapped a two-game losing streak for the Jazz. I like this situation here tonight as the Jazz had the night off and get the Pacers in the 2nd of a back-to-back spot. Take Utah. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Air Force +8 v. South Dakota | 53-59 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
Early action here on the Thursday college hard court as Air Force takes on South Dakota. This non-conference game opens the season for both teams. Air Force was just 5-20 in Joe Scott's first year as head coach. South Dakota was 14-11 last year and lost in the Summit League semi-finals to North Dakota State. These clubs have met two times in the past with Air Force taking both those games. Air Force is not known for offense as they play a ball-control game with lots of movement. South Dakota is the better team here, but if Air Force can play their normal ball control and keep the score lower, they will cover this spread. Play Air Force. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Heat -4 v. Lakers | 117-120 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat off to a good start this season at 7-3 S/U overall and ATS. The Heat are coming off a loss at Denver last time out, 96-113. The Heat are even in scoring this season at 101.1- 101.5 overall. They are outscoring opponents on the road though, 109.4-104.2 this season. The LA Lakers are 6-5 S/U and 3-8 ATS on the year. They snapped a two-game losing streak last time out, 126-123 over Charlotte, covering the 2-point line. The Lakers ongoing injury saga continues tonight with F Anthony Davis probable and F Lebron James out (abs). Also hurting, G Rajon Rondo is questionable. This looks to be the them for the Lakers this year and for me, I'll take the Heat to win this one going away tonight. Play Miami. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Thunder +4 v. Pelicans | 108-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder are 3-6 S/U and 5-4 ATS on the season. The Thunder have won two straight games S/U and three straight vs the number. They are coming off a win over San Antonio, 99-94 as a 3.5-point dog. New Orleans Pelicans are the big disappointment of the season thus far. The Pelicans are just 1-10 S/U and 4-7 ATS on the season. They last won back on October 25th at Minnesota, 107-98. The are being outscored 100.5-112.3 overall and 105-5-113.8 at home. The Pelicans will be without Zion Williamson tonight who has a foot injury. They may also be without forward Brandon Ingram, who is questionable with a hip injury and has averaged 23 ppg in his six games this year. Yet, here they sit a 4-point favorite. Go figure that one out. I'll take the points in this game and look for OKC to win outright. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | William & Mary v. Wake Forest -15 | 59-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
William & Mary Tribe play their opening game of the season on the road tonight at Wake Forest. The Tribe are coming off a 7-10 season and 4-6 conference mark. Wake also coming off a poor season that saw the Demon Deacons go 6-16 overall. Will & Mary returns four starters and added senior Brandon Carrol who averaged 11.3 ppg last year for Florida Southern. The Tribe will need to improve on their three-point shots as they ranked 291st in the nation from beyond the arc last year. Wake had to endure a full month off between games last year due to Covid. That can put a hinder into anyone's game. The roster has nine new players, which could be good after such a dismal season last year. They do return Davien Williamson who averaged 12.9 ppg last year. Don't know what to fully expect from this Wake team yet, but I'm going to take them here tonight against a William & Mary team that returns players but to a losing team. Take Wake Forest. |

11-09-21 | Blazers +3 v. Clippers | 109-117 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
The Portland Trailblazers are 5-5 S/U and 4-6 ATS on the season. They have won two straight games and are coming off a win over the Lakers, 105-99 as a 5.5-point favorite. The Blazers already faced the Clippers once this season back on October 25 where they lost at LA, 86-116 as a 3-point dog. The Clippers are 5-4 S/U and ATS on the season. After starting the season 1-4 they have won four straight games. They are coming off a home win over Charlotte, 120-106. The Clippers are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. I'm going to take the dog here today as the Blazers look for that first road win. Play Portland. |

11-09-21 | Towson -2 v. Albany | 77-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
First meeting ever between these basketball teams. Albany Great Danes are led by Antonio Rizzuto who was the America East All Defensive team player. Albany has a new coaching staff and really a new team with nine new players suiting up for the purple and gold. Not a lot to go with here in opening games but Alabany looks to be a team that will take time for both coaches and players to get used to each other. I'm going to take Towson here on opening night. |

11-09-21 | Southern Illinois -5.5 v. Arkansas-Little Rock | 66-69 | Loss | -111 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
Full schedule of action today to tip-off College Hoops season. Tonight, Southern Illinois Salukis take on the Little Rock Arkansas Trojans. SIU was 12-14 last season while Little Rock was 11-15. SIU started 7-0 last year in non-conference games but then faltered once they got into conference. I look for the Salukis to be much improved this year in a conference that is crowded with some good teams. They have 2020 Freshman of the Year Marcus Domask back and a very good backcourt. Look for this version of the SIU team to be a lot better. Play Southern Illinois. |

11-08-21 | Hawks v. Warriors -3.5 | 113-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
The Golden State of old looks to have returned after a few down years. The Warriors are 8-1 S/U and 6-3 ATS on the season. They have covered four streak games and blowout out their last four opponents by 13, 41, 21 and 22 points. They have a 5-1 home record and have covered four of those. They are also outscoring opponents on their home floor by a 113.2-97.2 margin. The Atlanta Hawks are just 4-6 overall on the season and 3-7 vs the spread. They are playing the third game of a west coast swing that saw them lose at Utah on the 4th 98-116 and then at Phoenix on Saturday, 117-121. Yet here are the Warriors just a 3.5-point home favorite tonight. I don't understand this line at all. I'm taking the Warriors. |

The Miami Heat have gotten off to a excellent start at 7-2 S/U and ATS. They are coming off a big win over Utah, 118-115 as a 2-point favorite. The Heat are outscoring opponents 111.7 - 100.2 this season. They are doing well on the road too, 3-1 S/U and ATS and outscoring home teams 112.8 - 102.0. Denver finally back above the .500 mark with their win over Houston last game, 95-94 as a 11.5-point favorite. The Nuggets have failed to cover the spread in three straight games. The Heat are now 10-2-1 their last 13 games as a favorite and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games. I like Miami here tonight. |

11-06-21 | 76ers v. Bulls -3.5 | 114-105 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Eastern Conference clash here today as Philly hits the road to play in Chicago. The Sixers have won five straight games and covered four straight. They are coming off a road win at Detroit last game, 109-98 as a 4.5-point road dog. One of those games included a home win over the Bulls, 103-98, covering the 2.5-point home line. Philly hit 43% from the 3-point arc in that contest and still only won by five points. The Chicago Bulls are 6-2 S/U on the season. Their last game was that loss at Philly. Their only other loss coming at the hands of the Knicks. The Bulls laying just 3 or 3 1/2 points here today. I'll take Chicago in what shouldn't be close. Play Chicago |

They are coming off a 99-112 loss at Sacramento on Wednesday. They have been outscored 103.2-111.2 on the season. Their one win came on the road at Minnesota back on Oct 25th, 107-98. They will face a Golden State team that is 6-1 S/U to start the season. They are also 4-3 ATS. The Warriors are coming off a win over Charlotte, 114-92. The Warriors have been very good and New Orleans has struggled. The Pelicans will also be without F Zion Williamson and F Brandon Ingram is questionable. I'll lay the points with the Warriors. |

11-04-21 | Celtics v. Heat -6.5 | Top | 95-78 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics play their third game in four nights as they travel to Miami tonight to play the Heat. The Celtics won last night at Orlando, 92-79. That win snapped a three game S/U and ATS losing streak. The Celts haven't done well with no rest between games, evidenced by their 4-9 ATS record that last 13 in that situation. They are also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 2-5 ATS their last seven road games. The Heat are off to a great start, 6-1 S/U and ATS on the season. They have won five straight games and are coming off a blowout of Dallas on Tuesday, 125-110. They have outscored their last three opponents by 15, 26 and 15 points. They are also 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games when installed as the favorite. The Heat have also covered seven of the last 10 in this series with the Celtics. Everything points to one side in this game, the Heat. |

The Atlanta Hawks are 4-3 S/U and 3-4 ATS so far this season. They are coming off a win at home over Washington on Monday, 118-111 as a 5.5-point favorite. The Hawks are narrowly outscoring opponents this year, 107.9-106.6 overall. The will face the Brooklyn Nets tonight who are still without star Kyrie Irving. The Nets are coming off a win on Sunday over Detroit, 117-91 as a 12-point favorite. It was the teams second win in row, as they sit at 4-3 S/U and 3-4 ATS on the season. The Nets are about even in scoring as they average 104.6 ppg on offense and in defense. Nets haven't been scoring like they did last year and now they have to cover a 5-point spread against a good Hawks team. I'll take the points in this one. Play Atlanta. |

11-02-21 | Kings v. Jazz OVER 221.5 | 113-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
The Sacramento Kings are 3-3 S/U and ATS on the young season after losing at Dallas last time out, 99-105. The Kings had a 2-game win streak snapped by the Mavs. The King are averaging 109 ppg on the season and allowing 111.8 ppg. They are averaging a bit more on the road at 111.5 ppg while allowing 110.5. Utah looks to be on track for another good season as they have started 5-1 S/U and ATS. Their only setback thus far was on October 30th at Chicago, 99-107 as a 3.5-point dog. The Jazz are averaging 111.2 ppg while allowing 98.3 ppg. Those numbers are bit better at home where they average 114.5 and allow 98 points. I like the over tonight. I expect Utah to get close to or over 115 points, which means we only need around 107 out of the Kings. Lets take the OVER. |

11-01-21 | Wizards v. Hawks -5.5 | 111-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The Washington Wizards hit the road tonight to face the Atlanta Hawks. The Wizards are 5-1 S/U and ATS on the season. The Wizards have won and covered three straight games including their last game at home over Boston, 115-112 as a 2-point chalk. They have outscored opponents 112.7 - 108.5 this season. They also beat Atlanta on the 28th of October, 122-111 at home as a 3-point dog. The Hawks are off to a 3-3 S/U and ATS on the season. They have lost two straight games, including last time out at Philly, 94-122 as a 3.5-point dog. The Hawks are just outscoring opponents, 106.2 - 105.8 overall. Atlanta has been much better at home though where they are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 games. They are also outscoring opponents at home, 117.5 - 95.5 this year. I look for the Hawks to get some payback tonight against the Wizards. Play Atlanta. |

The San Antonio Spurs have started the season with a 2-4 S/U and 4-2 ATS record thus far. They are coming off a win at Milwaukee, 102-93 as a 7-point dog that snapped a four game losing streak. The Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games as a road dog. They are also 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 1 day rest. The Pacers one of the disappointing teams this year at just 1-6 S/U and 2-5 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at home to Toronto, 94-97 as a 2.5-point favorite. It's been a rough start for the Pacers. They could be without shooting guard Malcom Brogdon tonight who is questionable with a hamstring injury. Brogdon has averaged 23.4 ppg through five games. With or without Brogdon, they shouldn't be laying points until they can win games outright. Play San Antonio. |

Denver Nuggets are 3-2 S/U and 2-3 ATS to start their season. The Nuggets not scoring many points, with just 110 their high and the other three games at 106 or fewer points. They average just 103 ppg this season and allow even fewer at 98 ppg. They are coming off a game last night at home with a lopsided win over Dallas, 106-75. They have held four of their five opponents to under 100 points. The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to a 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS start. They have seen all four of their games go UNDER as they have allowed just 102.5 ppg this season. Denver playing the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here tonight will have them slowing the tempo even more then they have this year. I'll take the UNDER tonight. |

The LA Clippers are just 1-3 S/U and 2-2 ATS to start the season. They are coming off a loss at home to Cleveland, 79-92 as a 8-point favorite. It was also their season low in scoring, just 79 points. They had season lows in shot percentage, 35.6% and 22% from 3-point. Portland is 2-2 S/U and ATS after winning at home against Memphis on Friday, 116-96. The Blazers have a +4 point differential thus far, but that number goes up to +15 in their home games.

The Sacramento Kings are 2-2 after winning on Wednesday at Phoenix, 110-107 as a 8-point dog. The Kings opened the season with a win at Portland, 124-121 and then lost their next two home games between last night's win. The New Orleans Pelican are just 1-4 S/U and 3-2 ATS to start the season. The Pelican lost their first three games before they won at Minnesota, 107-98. They are coming off at loss at home to the Hawks, 99-102, but covered the 5-point dog spread. The Kings are now 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Kings seem to be playing better on the road right now. I'll take the Kings tonight. |

10-28-21 | Knicks +1.5 v. Bulls | 104-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
The NY Knicks look to improve on their 3-1 record here tonight as they travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls. The Knicks are coming off a win at home over Philadelphia, 112-99. The Knicks have a +9.0 point differential thus far on the young season. The Bulls are a perfect 4-0 S/U and ATS on the season as they enter play tonight. However, two of those wins came against Detroit and one against Toronto, both those teams having terrible seasons last year. Tonight will be their first true test of the young season. Some may read more into this 4-0 Bulls start then I think it's worth. Sure they are holding teams to just over 95 ppg, but again, look at the quality of those teams. I think the Knicks are the better team and they prove it here tonight. Play New York. |

10-28-21 | Hawks -2.5 v. Wizards | 111-122 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
The Atlanta Hawks off to a nice start to the season at 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS. The defense has played well, allowing just 97.8 ppg thus far. They are coming off a win at New Orleans, 102-99, though they failed to cover the 5-point favorite line. The Washington Wizards also 3-1 S/U and ATS on the season. The Wizards lone loss coming at Brooklyn, 90-104. They bounced back last game with a win at Boston last night, 116-107. They now have to play their second of a back-to-back spot here tonight. That's always tough in the NBA. Not happy about laying 2 or 3 points on the road with the Hawks, but they are good enough to cover that, especially with the Wizards playing a tough road game last night. Play Atlanta. |

10-28-21 | Pistons v. 76ers UNDER 213 | 102-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
The Detroit Pistons take on the Philadelphia 76ers in a Eastern Conference matchup here tonight. Both teams nursing injuries with the Pistons' F Jermai Grant questionable tonight with a elbow. He's averaging 16.5 ppg in two games thus far. The Sixers could be without F Joel Embiid, who has a knee injury. These two players absence will put a damper on scoring. The Pistons have seen 11 of their last 15 games go under when they have been a dog. The Sixers are 1-7 O/U in their last eight games overall and 0-4 O/U in their last four home games. I'll look to take the UNDER here tonight. |

10-27-21 | Heat v. Nets UNDER 218 | 106-93 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
The Brooklyn Nets sure not playing up to the Nets standard of late year. The Nets are 2-2 both S/U and ATS. But what concerns me most is their scoring. They went from one of the highest scoring teams in the NBA last year to going under in all four of their games so far this year. This could be in part to the absence of guard Kyrie Irving who has yet to play because of Covid vaccine issues with the state. Their points for is a very low 104.3 ppg while they are allowing 109.3 ppg. In their two home games they have averaged just 99.5 ppg. They take on a Miami Heat team tonight that is 2-1 S/U and ATS on the season. The Heat have gone under in two of their three games including last game vs Orlando, 107-90. The Heat have held their three opponents to just 95.7 ppg. As long as the Nets continue to show this low scoring average and the Heat are a decent defensive team, I'll stick with the UNDER. |

10-24-21 | Magic v. Knicks -11.5 | 110-104 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Orlando off to another bad start to a season after just two games. The Magic are 0-2 both S/U and ATS. They lost their opener to the Spurs, 97-123 and then played the Knicks on Friday and lost 96-121. Now they turn right around and face the Knicks again, this time in New York. The Knicks are off to a 2-0 start both S/U and ATS. In addition to their win over Orlando, they started the season with a 138-134 road win at Boston and covered the two-point chalk line. The Magic are just 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 overall games. The Knicks are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games as a home favorite. I look for a New York blowout here tonight. |

10-23-21 | Heat v. Pacers OVER 222.5 | 91-102 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 17 m | Show | |
Miami Heat playing their second game of the season here on Saturday night. The Heat opened the season with a blowout win over defending NBA Champion, Milwaukee, 137-95. The Heat hit 53.1% from the field and 42.9% from the 3-point arc. Meanwhile, the Pacers play their third game of the season tonight. They opened with a narrow loss at Washington, 134-135 and then lost their next game at Charlotte, 122-123. Two narrow losses with both games going over. These teams are both hot right out of the shoot on offense and now they face each other. I'll take the OVER here tonight. |
