11-29-22 | Missouri v. Wichita State +2.5 | Top | 88-84 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
Missouri vs Wichita State 8:00 ET Shockers (+) over Tigers- Missouri opened the season with seven straight wins and that is always impressive even if they defeated the likes of SIU Edwardsville, Southern Indiana, Lindenwood, Mississippi Valley State, Coastal Carolina and of course Houston Christian. Now, not that seven sub-division schools isn’t bad enough they played them all at home. Now, this isn’t a true road game as it is a neutral site but they are playing a real basketball team. Take WICHITA STATE! |

11-29-22 | Warriors v. Mavs +1.5 | Top | 113-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
Golden State at Dallas 8:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- This Nationally Televised game will feature two of the biggest NBA stars with Golden State’s Stephen Curry (31.4) still the league most popular player and the Mavericks Luka Donic (33.1) who are 1 and 2 in scoring. The Warriors have finally put in together on the road (2-9) and have won three straight and five of six while the Mavericks have dropped their last four and are an amazing 1-13-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Mavericks 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings as hosts. In a rebound and much needed situation the Mav’s respond. take DALLAS! |

11-28-22 | Bulls +2 v. Jazz | Top | 114-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
Chicago at Utah 9:00 ET Bulls (+) over Jazz- Okay, here we go, Utah who at this early stage of the season are 4-games up on Chicago and are 6-2 at home. The Bulls who are 3-6 on the road seem and are a very short underdog and are only 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Jazz have dropped their last four SU but got the money last time out as our Megabucks winner bowing to Phoenix 112-111 plus 6.5-points. Utah on a slide and the price shows it. Take CHICAGO! |

11-27-22 | North Carolina v. Alabama -115 | Top | 101-103 | Win | 100 | 4 h 51 m | Show |
North Carolina vs Alabama 3:30 ET Crimson Tide over Tar Heels- Okay here we go again. The Odds-makers versus the Pollsters. The Poll people have North Carolina ranked on top at 1 and to date I have not been impressed. Bama who does impress me is ranked No. 18 by the Pollsters and yet the odds-makers opened the Tide a small favorite on a neutral site. I could go through a lot of stuff but it is simply a matter of those who really are in the know and those that think they are. Take ALABAMA! |

11-25-22 | Cavs +4.5 v. Bucks | Top | 102-117 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Cleveland at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bucks- Cleveland is looking avenge a 113-98 loss to Milwaukee. The loss marked the Cavaliers fifth straight but won over the Hornets, Heat, Hawks and Trail Blazers. Bucks are 9-2 SU at home but Cavaliers are are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 following a straight up win. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Iowa v. Clemson +8.5 | Top | 74-71 | Win | 100 | 8 h 60 m | Show |
Iowa vs Clemson 7:00 ET Hawkeyes over Tigers- As I have said before because power schools schedule so many powder puffs it is difficult to evaluate just how good they may actually be. Clemson has had one game among their five against a Division I school and they lost to South Carolina. Iowa has covered all four games playing one legit opponent defeating Seton Hall by 17 points in the Pirates Cove. Hawkeyes are 17-8-2 ATS at neutral sites while the Tigers are 5-1 ATS at neutral sites they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. One thing to respect is that Clemson has 20 years of playing experience among their starters. Take CLEMSON! |

11-24-22 | Alabama -3.5 v. Michigan State | Top | 81-70 | Win | 100 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
Alabama vs Michigan State 10:30 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Spartans- This one gets me with Michigan State being the higher ranked team at No. 12 and the Crimson Tide being the favorite ranked No. 18 and it is not a tiny number. The bookmaker is telling us that Alabama is the better team and although the media believes otherwise and I trust the bookies (Not really) to have better knowledge. What concerns me is the schedule that these two squads have undertaken as the Spartans have dealt with Kentucky, Gonzaga and Villanova while the Tide were dealing with the likes of Longwood, Liberty, South Alabama and Jacksonville State who combined are all under .500. Comparing stats it is easy to see why Books have chosen this price as the Tide are better at both ends of the court, be it against inferior opposition but regardless they rank 26th on offense and MSU is 177th and on defense No. 31 for Bama and 140 for State. P.S.- Tide lead the nation in rebounding. Take ALABAMA! |

11-24-22 | Iowa State +2.5 v. Villanova | Top | 81-79 | Win | 100 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
Iowa State vs. Villanova 3:30 ET Cyclones (+) over Wildcats- Oh, I like what is coming out of Ames as T.J. Otzelberger has taken the air out of the ball and returned to fundamentals starting with defense. Iowa State holds their opponents to an absurd 45.0 PPG while holding opponents to 32.8% shooting from the floor. Add that Villanova who is just not the same since Jay Wright took a powder and it will show here as they are ranked No. 260 on offense scoring just 69 PPG and are ranked No. 346 (Yep) in rebounding. Cyclones 6-2 ATS last eight neutral site games and Cats are 1-4 ATS in last five. Take IOWA STATE! |

11-22-22 | Nets -7.5 v. 76ers | Top | 106-115 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Nets (-) over 76ers- So, here we go with the daily drama that is the 76ers. Joel Embiid will be out for the next two games joining James Harden and Tyrese Maxey out with minor injuries. And of course the return of Ben Simmons to Philadelphia for the first time since his mental issues began. Kyrie Irving of course will attract more attention to this NBA circus. The Nets are starting play beyond the noise and have are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. 76ers are 5-0 ATS in last five home games but just 2-7 ATS when hosting a team with a losing record. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Hawks +2.5 v. Cavs | Top | 102-114 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 27 m | Show |
Atlanta at Cleveland 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- Oh yeah, perfect spot for turn around upset. Cleveland as our Megabucks release Sunday rand they responded by blowing out the Heat 113-87 and now host the high flying Hawks. It would be a long shot that the Cavaliers can repeat that type of performance. If trends are any sign the home team and series record would have us on the Cavs, but not us! We smell a rat here or at least something not so good. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Heat v. Cavs -9.5 | Top | 87-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Heat- Fresh off their five game losing streak Cleveland hosts Miami who is on a two-side of their own. The Heat have taken to the road and have been downed at Toronto and Washington. They are having difficulties keeping talent on the court as Butler and Adebayo are plagued with injuries. The Heat are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records and the Cavaliers are 8-1 after a SU win. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Baylor v. UCLA +2.5 | Top | 80-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
UCLA vs. Baylor 5:30 ET Bruins (+) over Bears- One of these wild critters will leave Las Vegas with two consecutive losses and a damper on the start of their season. UCLA held a 41-28 lead in the second half before the Illini when on a shooting spree and outscored the baby bears 51-29. The Bears allowed Virginia to shoot 56% and trailed by 23-points in the second half and were never really in it. Bruins are 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and Naylor is 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take UCLA! |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Wolves -3 v. 76ers | Top | 112-109 | Push | 0 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
Minnesota at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Timberwolves over 76ers- The 76ers have won three straight and four of five with Joel Embiid leading in the most dominate fashion possible. Minnesota who dropped six of seven previous games have won their last two with the team posted season highs in points scored. Embiid will most likely sit out the second of back-to-back contests. Tyrese Maxey went down in Friday’s win over the Bucks and without Embiid the Sixers fall short. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
11-18-22 | UCLA v. Illinois +3.5 | Top | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
Illinois vs UCLA 9:30 ET Illini (+) over Bruins- Both clubs are 3-0 and will be playing a real opponent for the first time this season. These clubs have not met since 1997 and the Bruins hold a 6-3 series edge but that stirs nothing between these two today. This game is being played in Las Vegas an there should be a slight lean in the crowd for the Bruins but it hasn’t helped in the past. Take ILLINOIS! |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Pacers v. Rockets +5.5 | Top | 99-91 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
Indiana at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Pacers- Surprisingly enough Indiana has become a force as they extend their fine play by winning six of the last eight games. Houston may only be 3-12 straight-up but this young group is spirited and 8-7 ATS. The Rockets are off an upset win over Dallas and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five after a SU win and they are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Pacers. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
11-17-22 | Nets +1.5 v. Blazers | Top | 109-107 | Win | 100 | 20 h 11 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Portland 10:00 ET Nets over Trailblazers- The drama continues and Days of Our Lives couldn’t write it any better. Every day the drama as to whether the world is flat or who’s got a secret media account or who is coaching today continues...this is getting silly as Brooklyn surrendered 153 points to Sacramento Tuesday and oh yes they lost 153-121. The Nets and the rest of the league (players) are getting anxious as to when their favor bigot will return to action, but it will not be tonight. Portland is off to a great start at 10-4 SU and are the surprise in the west but unfortunately for them it’s the Nets night out, sorry boys but the Blazers will be doused tonight. I know the Nets stink and don’t really care or give great effort all the time but Brooklyn is 9-3 ATS after allowing 125 points or more the previous game (otherwise they stink). As good as the Blazers are they are just 4-9 ATS against teams with losing records and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five hosting the Nets! Take BROOKLYN! |

11-16-22 | Celtics v. Hawks +3 | Top | 126-101 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
Boston at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Celtics- Boston has won their last seven games while Atlanta has won five of seven including a 121-106 win at Milwaukee handing the Bucks their first home loss of the season after seven wins. The Celtics are the No. 1 scoring team in the league averaging 120 PPG but they are 2-6 ATS against teams with losing records. The Hawks are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games against teams with winning records and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games overall. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Knicks +5 v. Jazz | Top | 118-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show |
New York at Utah 9:00 ET Knicks (+) over Jazz- After a 3-game Eastern swing Utah is back home where they are 5-0 after dropping the final two games on their trip losing back-to-back games for the first time this season .New York is embarking on a 5-game seven day road trip and are off double-digit home loss to OKC on Sunday allowing the Thunder to shoot 62.5%. I don’t think coach Tom Thibodeu was very pleased with the Knicks defense as they once prided themselves at that end of the floor. The numbers stack up behind the Knicks as they are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 road games and NY is 25-9 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Add that the Jazz are 8-21-2 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
11-14-22 | Hawks +4.5 v. Bucks | Top | 121-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
Atlanta at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Bucks- It was a week ago today that the undefeated Bucks at 9-0 were handed their first loss of the season 117-98 in Atlanta. Milwaukee is dealing with a rash of injuries that have sidelined six different players at one time or another. This is the third meeting already this season between these two and they split each winning and covering at home and they will meet a final time in early January. Hawks are 11-4 ATS after a SU loss and the Bucks are 1-3-1 ATS following a loss by 10-points or more. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
11-13-22 | Nets v. Lakers +5 | Top | 103-116 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
Brooklyn at LA Lakers 9:30 ET Lakers (+) over Nets- Very often especially in sport ‘less is more’ as is the case with the Nets. Brooklyn is now 4-1 since Kyrie Irving was suspended and admit that they are now playing as a team. A team that is sure to walk off the edge of the flat Earth. The Lakers have dropped five straight as they started the season before they finally won so their number is about right for a turnaround. LA most likely without Lebron and maybe once against less is more. Brooklyn is 3-9-2 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and 11-29-1 ATS after SU win. The Lakers are just terrible but are the side tonight. Take LA LAKERS! |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Jazz v. Wizards +3.5 | Top | 112-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
Utah at Washington 6:00 ET Wizards (+) over Jazz- The Wizards were a Money Game winner for us Friday night and as they defeated Dallas with a pair of starters sidelined. Bradley Beal will remain on the protocol list and not play tonight but Porzingis should return despite a groin strain. Utah despite the loss of Donovan Mitchell have won four straight and have covered seven straight while being favored just once over the Lakers and lead the West. But, the Wiz are 4-1 ATS in their last five and they are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings with the Jazz. Take WASHINGTON! |

11-11-22 | Bucks v. Spurs -120 | Top | 93-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
Milwaukee at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs over Bucks- If anything looks bogus tonight it is this match-up in San Antonio whee the struggling Spurs will host the red hot Milwaukee Bucks who have won 10 of 11 games. San Antonio got off to a quick start winning 5-of-7 but have now dropped five-in-row. So, why are the Spurs favored...cuz I hope their is something fishy after this contest and I’m willing to side with the bookmaker tonight. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
