04-02-21 | Bulls +13.5 v. Jazz | 106-113 | Win | 100 | 18 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Bulls. Chicago is coming off a 121-116 loss at Phoenix, their seventh loss in their last eight overall. They easily covered in what was a very close game, and now they are double digit underdog at Utah. The Jazz have won seven straight, and after suffering a near death experience when their plane was forced to make an emergency landing, we could expect them to suffer a bit of a let down. The Bulls are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog, and the Jazz are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-02-21 | Blues +1.5 v. Avalanche | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 24 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on St. Louis +1.5. The Blues have lost four straight, and they should bring plenty of intensity into tonight's game against Colorado. The Avs are the better team with the better record, but these teams have a history of playing close games. Colorado has won 10-of-12, and they are in a position where they can afford to suffer a bit of a let down. Goaltender Jordan Binnington has been solid in two starts versus the Avs this season, going 1-1 with a 3.00 GAA. He was 2-2 with a 3.98 GAA against the Avs in 2019. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-01-21 | Astros v. A's -103 | 8-1 | Loss | -103 | 57 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Oakland. The Athletics open the season at home versus Houston, and they finished the spring with a +45 run differential. Zack Greinke will get the nod for the Astros, and he's a familiar name that we expect to see on Opening Day. The 37 year old is still capable of pitching a good game, but I think it's fair to say he's on the downside of his career. He was 1-1 with a 3.71 ERA in three starts against Oakland last year. The A's hand the ball to Chris Bassitt, who was 5-2 with a 2.29 ERA in 2020. He was 1-1 with a 2.65 ERA in three starts versus Houston. The Astros are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings in Oakland. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-01-21 | Canadiens -193 v. Senators | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 21 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Habs. The Senators have shown that they can be competitive at times, but they are still sitting in last place in the North Division. There is no reason to expect that to change, and a home game against Montreal is not going to be an easy spot to earn a positive result. The Canadiens are 14-6 in the last 20 meetings, and Carey Price is coming off his first shutout of the season. The Senators are 24-54 in their last 78 games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-01-21 | Diamondbacks v. Padres -1.5 | 7-8 | Loss | -106 | 15 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on San Diego. The Padres open the season at home against Arizona, and this looks like quite a mismatch. Yu Darvish will get the nod for the home team, and he's coming off a stellar spring. He was 8-3 with a 2.01 ERA in 12 starts last season. The D'Backs hand the ball to Mad Bum, who was tagged for six runs and three walks in 5 1/3 innings in his last start this spring. He faced the Padres twice last year, and was 0-2 with a 10.57 ERA in those games. The Diamondbacks are 7-22 in their last 29 games as a road underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-30-21 | UCLA +7 v. Michigan | 51-49 | Win | 100 | 21 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UCLA. |
|||||||
03-29-21 | Bucks v. Clippers -1 | Top | 105-129 | Win | 100 | 20 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Clippers. The Clippers have won five straight home games, and Kawhi Leonard scored 28 points in a 122-112 win over the Sixers Saturday. The Bucks are coming off back to back losses, and Giannis has been struggling with a knee injury. The "Greek Freak" had failed to score 20 points in his last two starts, and did not play in Saturday's loss to New York. The Bucks are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games, and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. The Bucks are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Los Angeles. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-29-21 | Oilers +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Edmonton. The Oilers are just two points out of first place in the North Division, and they are facing first place Toronto tonight. The Leafs are coming off a 4-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday night, but it was just their fourth win in their last 10 games. Three of those four wins came in games decided by one goal. The Oilers are 7-3 in their last 10 games overall, and all three of those losses came in games decided by one goal. Connor McDavid leads the NHL in scoring with 62 points, and Leon Draisaitl has 53 points. Nobody else in the league has 50. The Leafs starting goaltender Freddie Anderson is not close to returning from injury according to head coach Sheldon Keefe. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Oregon v. USC -140 | 68-82 | Win | 100 | 117 h 1 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the USC. The Trojans won 15 games in the Pac12 during the regular season, one more than the Ducks. The two teams played each other twice, and the Trojans won the most recent meeting by a whopping 14 points. The previous meeting was decided in overtime, with the Ducks winning at home in January. The Trojans are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games, and they have covered in six straight NCAA Tournament games. USC is stronger defensively, which might just be the difference here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Florida State +3 v. Michigan | 58-76 | Loss | -118 | 87 h 29 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on FSU. The Wolverines have cruised into the Sweet 16 with back to back wins over Texas Southern and LSU. They will be a favorite against Florida State, but I think the Seminoles have looked like the better team lately. BIG10 teams have disappointed so far, and Michigan is the last of nine teams in the tournament. Michigan will be shorthanded after Isaiah Livers suffered a stress fracture that has him listed as "out indefinitely". The Seminoles are 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games as an underdog, and they appear to be peaking at the right time. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Creighton v. Gonzaga -13 | 65-83 | Win | 100 | 109 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are the biggest favorite in any of the Sweet 16 games, but I am not sure the bookmakers can set a line high enough. Gonzaga is undefeated (28-0), and the majority of those wins came by double digits. They beat Oklahoma by 16 points in their last game, and the Sooners actually played a helluva game. Even shooting 50% from the field and scoring 71 points wasn't enough to keep that game close. The Bluejays are 3-12-2 ATS in their last 17 NCAA Tournament games, and they have failed to cover in six straight as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Thomas Almeida v. Sean O'Malley UNDER 1.5 | 0-1 | Push | 0 | 30 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under 1.5 rounds. Sean O'Malley came into his last fight with a 12-0 record, but suffered his first loss by way of first round knockout versus Marlon Vera. Nine of his 13 career fights have ended in the first round, and it seems reasonable to expect another first round KO here. His opponent Thomas Almeida has lost four of his last five fights, and 19 of his 26 career fights have ended with a KO. Both fighters should be looking for the early KO, this one should end quickly. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-27-21 | 76ers v. Clippers UNDER 220.5 | 112-122 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under 220.5. The Clippers were shorthanded in their last game, beating the Spurs by a score of 98-85. Patrick Beverly and Serge Ibaka are out, while Kawhi Leonard and Marcus Morris are questionable. LA has help opponents to an average of less than 100 points per game over their last five overall. The Sixers have also been bringing the defense, allowing just 102 points per game in their last five. The under is 5-1 in 76ers last six overall, and they have gone under in four straight on the road. These two teams have failed to reach the total in five of the last seven head to head meetings. Look for another low score here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Oral Roberts +11.5 v. Arkansas | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 90 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Oral Roberts. After betting on Oral Roberts in their upset win over Florida, I have to like them as a double digit dog verus Arkansas in the Sweet 16. Here is what I said prior to their game against the Gators: "Oral Roberts was more impressive in their first round upset over Ohio State. Max Abmas scored 29 points on 10-of-24 shooting. He leads the nation in scoring averaging 24.2 points per game. The Golden Eagles are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as an underdog." They played at Arkansas during the regular season, and that was quite a competitive game. The Golden Eagles have covered in five straight games played at a neutral site. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-26-21 | A's +1.5 v. Dodgers | 11-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Oakland. The Dodgers host Oakland tonight, and of course LA will be a favorite. Normally the Dodgers with Kershaw on the mound are a solid bet. Here in the pre-season though, we don't expect him to go deep into the game. The Athletics have a better record than the Dodgers this spring, and the opposing starter has better numbers than the veteran Kershaw. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-25-21 | Dodgers -145 v. Cubs | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Dodgers. The Dodgers have lost three straight spring game, but they are still 10-8 overall. They look good tonight against the Cubs with a favorable pitching matchup. Dustin May will get the nod for LA, and he's 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA so far. The Cubs counter with Albert Alzolay, who has an ERA of over 15.00 so far. The Dodgers bats should break out here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-25-21 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CBJ +1.5. The Blue Jackets lost 3-0 to Carolina on Tuesday, and here is what I said prior to that game: "The Blue Jackets are coming off back to back wins over Carolina, and both of those games were decided in OT. That's nothing out of the ordinary between these teams, as six of the last seven meetings have been decided by one goal. The Hurricanes are 2-7 in the last nine meetings, and they have lost four of their last five at Columbus. The underdog is 10-3 in the last 13 meetings." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-25-21 | Tigers v. Blue Jays -165 | 3-3 | Push | 0 | 17 h 7 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Blue Jays. The Jays host the Tigers, and these are two teams trending in opposite directions. Toronto has won five of six, while the Tigers have won just three of their last nine overall. Stephen Matz will get the start for the Jays, and he's looked sharp this spring. He's 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA so far. The Tigers counter with Casey Mize who is 1-2 with a 9.90 ERA this spring. Bo Bichette was 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs in a 5-0 win over the Yankees yesterday. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-24-21 | Jets -130 v. Canucks | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WPG. The Jets are coming off a 4-0 win at Vancouver, and Vezina winner Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 22 shots he faced in his first shutout of the season. Backup goaltender Laurent Brossoit is 2-0 with a 1.00 GAA in two starts versus Vancouver this season. That means that whoever starts in goal for Winnipeg will have dominated the Canucks this season. The Jets are 11-3 in their last 14 games as a favorite, and they are 19-7 in their last 26 versus the Canucks. They have won seven straight in Vancouver. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-24-21 | Hawks -143 v. Kings | 108-110 | Loss | -143 | 17 h 29 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Atlanta. The Hawks eight game winning streak ended on the road in LA, falling to the Clippers by a score of 119-110 on Monday. I like them to bounce back tonight in Sacramento. The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a ATS loss, and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six games playing on 1 days rest. The Kings are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games overall, and they are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. The Kings are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-24-21 | Padres v. Giants +105 | 3-7 | Win | 105 | 17 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on SF. The Giants will host the Padres tonight, and both these teams have losing records this spring. Anthony Descalafini will start for the Giants, and Dinelson Lamet will go for the Padres. Descalafani is making his third appearance this spring, and he's been fairly sharp going 1-0 with a 3.19 ERA so far. Lamet is making his first appearance, and the Padres have lost four straight series openers. I'll take the home underdog here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-23-21 | Wizards v. Knicks UNDER 225.5 | 113-131 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under 225.5. The Knicks have the NBA's top ranked defense, and one of the league's worst offenses. The Knicks are coming off a 101-100 home loss to Philly, but the under is 9-3 in the Knicks last 12 games following a straight up loss. The Wizards are coming off a 113-106 loss at Brooklyn, and they have lost six of their last seven overall. The under is 11-4 in the Wizards last 15 road games, and the Wizards have failed to reach the total in nine of their last 13 when coming off a loss. The under is 8-2 in the last 10 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-22-21 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -184 | 17 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on CBJ +1.5. The Blue Jackets are coming off back to back wins over Carolina, and both of those games were decided in OT. That's nothing out of the ordinary between these teams, as six of the last seven meetings have been decided by one goal. The Hurricanes are 2-7 in the last nine meetings, and they have lost four of their last five at Columbus. The underdog is 10-3 in the last 13 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-22-21 | Ohio +5.5 v. Creighton | 58-72 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Ohio. I had Ohio in their first round upset win over Virginia, and I like them again here against a Creighton team that just barely avoided a first round upset. The Blue Jays defeated UCSB by a score of 63-62, hitting a pair of free throws in the dying seconds. The Bobcats are 6-0 ATS in their last six neutral site games, and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as an underdog. The Bluejays are 2-12-2 ATS in their last 16 NCAA Tournament games, and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four NCAA Tournament games as a favorite. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-22-21 | Abilene Christian v. UCLA -4.5 | 47-67 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UCLA. The Bruins are coming off consecutive impressive wins over Michigan State and BYU, and they will face Abilene Christian in the second round. The Wildcats are coming off a 53-52 upset win over Texas, and I expect them to suffer a let down here in their next game. They beat Texas with a pair of free throws with two seconds on the clock, but I doubt they will be as fortunate here against UCLA. The public will be quick to back the underdogs after so many early upsets in this year's tournaments, but the favorite appears to be the play here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-21-21 | Mavs v. Blazers +1.5 | 132-92 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Portland. The Blazers have won four of their last five overall, and star guard CJ McCollum is back from injury. McCollum scored just 21 points in his first two games against New Orleans, but in his third game back he went off for 32 points against Dallas. The Trail Blazers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog, and I gotta take Portland getting points at home here in the second game of this set versus the Mavs. The Blazers are 14-7 at home, and they have won five of their last seven games against Dallas. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-21-21 | Oregon State +6.5 v. Oklahoma State | 80-70 | Win | 100 | 28 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Oregon State. I had the Beavers in the first round versus Tennessee, and this is what I said before that game: "The Beavers finished the season hot, winning the Pac12 Tournament and they won six of their last seven overall. The Beavers are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog, and they are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall." They didn't just beat the Vols, they spanked them by double digits. Oregon State was 10-of-21 from beyond the arc, and shot 48.2 percent from the field. Who in their right mind would bet against The Beavers as a 6.5 point dog in this spot? GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-21-21 | Golden Knights v. Kings +1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 24 h 27 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the LAK +1.5. The Kings have lost eight of their last 11 overall, but they are 7-4 ATS in those games. The Vegas Golden Knights have won five straight, but three of those five games came by just one goal. The Kings have been great on special teams, ranking in the top 5 of the league both on the power play as well as the penalty kill. They should come to play here on Sunday in this revenge spot against Vegas. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-21-21 | Derek Brunson v. Kevin Holland UNDER 2.5 | 1-0 | Push | 0 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under 2.5 rounds. Derek Brunson certainly has knockout power, winning 11 of his 28 pro fights by way of knockout. He's also vulnerable to the KO, with five of his seven losses coming by way of knockout. Five of his last seven fights have ended with a knockout. His opponent Kevin Holland will be the favorite in this fight, and he's on a five fight winning streak. Three of those five wins came by way of knockout. Four of his last six fights have ended in the first or second round. I don't expect this fight to go the distance. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-20-21 | Blues v. Sharks +1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -183 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
This is an 6* play on the SJS +1.5. The Sharks host the St. Louis Blues tonight, and the Blues have a habit of playing close games. Each of their last six games overall have been decided by one goal. Another close game wouldn't be much of a surprise when you consider that five of the last six head to head meetings between these teams have been decided by just one goal. The Sharks have lost four of their last five, but two of those losses have come by just one goal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-20-21 | Ohio +8 v. Virginia | 62-58 | Win | 100 | 126 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Ohio. The thing about the Virginia Cavaliers is that they can beat anybody on any given day, as evidenced by finishing first in the ACC. They can also lose to anybody on any given day, as evidenced by their loss to San Francisco in non conference play. The Cavs were on the wrong end of one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history just a few years ago. Ohio is a good team out of the competitive MAC Conference, and they should have good chance to pull off a first round upset. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-20-21 | Stars v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -153 | 5 h 1 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on DET +1.5. The Red Wings aren't going to win the Stanley Cup, in fact they aren't going to make the playoffs. They are dead last in the Central Division, but they are still a competitive young team. They are coming off a 4-2 home win over Carolina, and they are 2-2 in their last four games. Both losses during that span came by just one goal. The Stars are 5-16 in their last 21 overall, and they are 3-7 in their last 10 games as a favorite. The home team is 6-0 in the last six head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-20-21 | Wild +1.5 v. Avalanche | 0-6 | Loss | -159 | 1 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Minnesota +1.5. The Wild have won three in a row, but they will be a big underdog on the road at Colorado. History tells us we can expect a close game here, as three of the last four meetings have been decided by one goal. Minnesota has actually had Colorado's number, winning six of the last seven meetings outright. The Avs are no stranger to close games, they have seen five of their last six games overall decided by just one goal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Rutgers v. Clemson +1 | 60-56 | Loss | -102 | 117 h 60 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Clemson. The Tigers were undefeated in non-conference play, and two of those wins came against Big10 teams (Purdue and Maryland). They are the underdog in the first round versus Rutgers, and the Scarlet Knights pick up most of their wins at home. The Scarlet Knights are 1-4 ATS in their last five neutral site games. Clemson has covered in six of their last seven neutral site games, and they are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 neutral site games as an underdog. There is a lot of talk of all the Big10 teams in the Tournament, but they are already 0-1 after the Spartans lost to UCLA last night. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-19-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Capitals | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 29 m | Show | |
8* |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Georgia Tech +3 v. Loyola-Chicago | 60-71 | Loss | -108 | 67 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on GT. The Loyola Chicago Ramblers have been lights out all year long. They won 18 of their last 19 games overall, and there is no doubt in my mind that they can play with anybody. That being said, I am not convinced that they are better than a Georgia Tech team that won the ACC Tournament, and finished with eight straight wins. The Yellow Jackets finished two games out of first place in the ACC standings, and they won some big games against the best teams in the country. The Yellow Jackets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Utah State v. Texas Tech -4.5 | 53-65 | Win | 100 | 68 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Texas Tech. The Utah State Aggies had won six straight heading into the Mountain West Tournament Final, but they really struggled offensively in a loss to San Diego State. It won't get any easier against one of the top defensive teams from the BIG12 Conference. Texas Tech has allowed opponents to average just 63 points per game this season, and the Aggies only scored an average of 64 points in their last five games overall. The Red Raiders are 5-1 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games. The Aggies defense looks great on paper, but they gave up 80+ points in losses to VCU, Boise State and Colorado State. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Virginia Tech +100 v. Florida | 70-75 | Loss | -100 | 67 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Hokies. Florida won just once in their final four games of the season, and that win came against last place Vanderbilt. The Gators have failed to cover in four of their last five neutral site games, and they have failed to cover in five straight against teams with a winning record. The Hokies finished in the Top 3 in the ACC despite playing four fewer games than first place Virginia. They beat the Cavs by a score of 65-51 at the end of January. Florida struggled to score down the stretch, and I am not sure the Gators have the shooters to match serves with a talented VT team. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-18-21 | UCLA v. Michigan State -125 | 86-80 | Loss | -125 | 94 h 0 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Michigan State. The Spartans may have won fewer games than the UCLA Bruins, but they survived the gauntlet of the Big10. Their quality wins came against the likes of Michigan, Illinois, Duke and Ohio State. The Bruins lost their last four games, and they blew a 16 point lead in a loss to Oregon State in the Pac12 Tournament. The Bruins are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall, and they are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 neutral site games. The Bruins are 8-21 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-18-21 | Stars v. Red Wings +1.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 48 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on DET +1.5. The Red Wings aren't going to win the Stanley Cup, in fact they aren't going to make the playoffs. They are dead last in the Central Division, but they are still a competitive young team. They are coming off a 4-2 home win over Carolina, and they are 2-2 in their last four games. Both losses during that span came by justo one goal. The Stars are 5-16 in their last 21 overall, and they are 3-7 in their last 10 games as a favorite. The home team is 6-0 in the last six head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-17-21 | Raptors -130 v. Pistons | 112-116 | Loss | -130 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toronto. The Raptors have lost five straight, and they have sorely missed the likes of Siakam, Van Fleet and head coach Nick Nurse. Everyone was back at practice this week, and Siakam could return as soon as tonight. Nick Nurse is back behind the bench, and we should expect Toronto to be all business here in Detroit. The Raptors losing streak started against the Pistons, and Detroit was 20-of-41 from beyond the arc in their victory. It's highly unlikely they will be as fortunate here tonight. The Raptors are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Detroit. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-17-21 | Toledo -134 v. Richmond | 66-76 | Loss | -134 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toledo. The Rockets finished the season strong, winning five of their final seven games. The same can't be said of Richmond, who lost their final three games. The Spiders top two players are each listed as questionable for tonight's game. The Rockets are 20-9 ATS in their last 29 games overall. The Spiders are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall. Toledo has averaged 86 points over their last five games, 14 points more than Richmond has scored during that span. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-17-21 | Atletico Madrid v. Chelsea OVER 2 | 0-2 | Push | 0 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Chelsea won the first leg of this Champions League tie by a score of 1-0, but I expect both teams to find the net here in the second leg. Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings. Madrid is more than capable, sitting top of the table in Spain, and ranking second in La Liga in scoring with 50 goals in 27 matches. There will be no point in this match where both teams are content to play for a draw, as Madrid is trailing on aggregate, and they will be pressing. If they manage to score, it will be game on. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-16-21 | Coyotes +1.5 v. Wild | 0-3 | Loss | -140 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Arizona +1.5. The Coyotes have lost back to back games at Minnesota, and I would expect a strong effort in the third game of this series as they look to avoid a sweep. The Coyotes are 7-2 in their last nine in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. The Wild are 7-16 in their last 23 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. The last game at Minnesota was a 1-1 tie heading into the third period, but the Wild scored three unanswered goals to win by a score of 4-1. I am looking for the Coyotes to play a solid 60 minutes here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-16-21 | Jazz v. Celtics UNDER 228 | 117-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Jazz are coming off three straight road losses, and they should be highly motivated to get back on track here in Boston. The Celtics have won five of their last six overall, and they have played solid defense during that span. The return of Marcus Smart certainly won't hurt either. The under is 9-3 in Celtics last 12 games as a home underdog, and the under is 20-8 in their last 28 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. There is also a strong under trend in Utah's recent games at The Garden. The under is 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings in Boston. Tonight's total is almost 10 points higher than it was in any of the previous 10 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-15-21 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Panthers | 3-6 | Loss | -152 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Blackhawks +1.5. The Blackhawks are back, and they are right behind Florida in the Central Division standings. These teams have a history of playing close games, with three of the last four head to head meetings decided by one goal. Five of the last 10 meetings have gone to overtime. The Blackhawks are 7-2 in their last nine road games, and they are 8-2 in their last 10 Saturday games. The Panthers are 3-9 in their last 12 Saturday games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-14-21 | Heat -6.5 v. Magic | 102-97 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Miami Heat. I bet on the Heat one oft their most recent games, a decisive win over Orlando. Here is what I said prior to that game: "The defending Eastern Conference champs have had their struggles in the first half of the season, but they went into the All Star break as winners of six of their last seven. Jimmy Butler scored 29 points on 10-of-14 shooting in his return to action versus New Orleans last week. The Magic are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games, and rumors are swirling about possible trades involving their top players. Orlando appears ready to sell off talent and concentrate on rebuilding with a lottery pick." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-14-21 | Kings +1.5 v. Avalanche | 1-4 | Loss | -119 | 14 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the LAK +1.5. The Kings have been surprisingly competitive so far this season, coming into Sunday's game in Colorado as a playoff contender. They have a winning record on the road, and they are 3-3 in their last six meetings versus the Avs. All three of Colorado's victories during that span came by just one goal. Four of the Kings last five losses have come by just a single goal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-14-21 | Cincinnati +13.5 v. Houston | 54-91 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Cincinnati. We've seen a lot of shockers in the conference tournaments so far. Georgetown winning the Big East, Oregon State winning the Pac12, and Ohio State knocking Michigan out of the Big Ten tournament. So it seems a little surprising to see Cincinnati getting a double digit spread in the final of the American Athletic Conference. It's the largest spread we've seen in any of their previous 10 meetings versus Houston. This comes after they knocked off the first place Wichita State Shockers on Saturday. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Oregon State +9 v. Colorado | 70-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Oregon State. The Colorado Buffaloes are better team on paper, but at this time of the year you can't underestimate the power of momentum. The Beavers are on a roll, coming off upset wins over UCLA and Oregon. They have already proved they can compete with Colorado, losing at home to the Buffaloes by just four points earlier this season. The Beavers are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog, and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Pacers v. Suns -6.5 | 122-111 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Phoenix Suns. The Suns are one of the league's hottest teams, winning eight of their last nine overall. They host the Indiana Pacers tonight, and the Pacers are coming off a loss to the Lakers in LA last night. The Pacers are 0-9 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog, and they have failed to cover in six straight when coming off a loss. The Suns are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 home games, and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite. Caris Levert is expected to return tonight, but he likely will be on a minutes restriction. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Panthers | 2-4 | Loss | -164 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Blackhawks +1.5. The Blackhawks are back, and they are right behind Florida in the Central Division standings. These teams have a history of playing close games, with three of the last four head to head meetings decided by one goal. Five of the last 10 meetings have gone to overtime. The Blackhawks are 7-2 in their last nine road games, and they are 8-2 in their last 10 Saturday games. The Panthers are 3-9 in their last 12 Saturday games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Islanders v. Devils +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on NJD +1.5. The Devils have really struggled so far, but this looks like a good spot for them to get back on track. They host the New York Islanders, who they have already lost twice to this season. The Devils lost at home to the Islanders a few weeks ago by a score of 2-1. Four of the Islanders last five games at New Jersey have been decided by one goal. The Islanders are 6-13 in their last 19 Saturday games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-13-21 | Jets +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WPG +1.5. I had the Jets in Game 1 of this three game set versus Toronto, and here is what I said prior to the game: "The NHL's leading scorer Auston Matthews has returned from a wrist injury, but he's failed to record a point in back to back losses at Vancouver. He told reporters on Monday that he's still not close to 100 percent. The Jets had won six of seven before getting throttled 7-1 by Montreal in their last game. We should expect a much better effort from Winnipeg tonight. The Jets are 5-1 in their last six games as an underdog, and they are 3-2 in their last five at Toronto. They are 4-1 on the puckline in those games." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-13-21 | West Bromwich Albion v. Crystal Palace UNDER 2.25 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 21 h 8 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. Goals could be hard to come by here on Saturday when two of the Premier League's bottom feeders meet at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace has only scored three goals in their last five matches. That's still one more than West Bromwich Albion has scored in their last five matches. Only Sheffield United has scored fewer goals this season. West Bomwich Albion has failed to reach the total in five straight matches, and Crystal Palace hasn't scored in any of their last three home matches. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-12-21 | Rockets v. Jazz -14.5 | 99-114 | Win | 100 | 21 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Utah. This game appears to be a setup for a beat down of epic proportions. The Jazz have the best record in the NBA, but they lost three of four heading into the All Star break. They host Houston on the back end of a back to back, coming off a 20 point loss at Sacramento. PJ Tucker has left the team, and Victor Oladipo is surely on his way out the door. The Jazz are hungry to get back on track, while the Rockets are mailing it in. The Jazz are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 home games, and the Rockets are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-12-21 | Magic v. Spurs -7 | 77-104 | Win | 100 | 19 h 36 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Spurs. Orlando is coming off a loss at Miami, and they head to Texas to play the Spurs on the back end of a back to back. The Magic have lost six straight, and they are rumored to be shopping leading scorer Nikola Vucevic. The Spurs have been up and down, but they still hold a slim lead at the top of the Southwest. The Magic are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games, while the Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss. Neither of these teams are great, but at least the Spurs still have something to play for. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Rockets v. Kings -4.5 | 105-125 | Win | 100 | 21 h 58 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Sacramento Kings. The Kings went into the All Star break winning two of their last four games. While that might not sound impressive, it's a lot better than Houston that has lost 13 in a row. The Rockets are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games, and they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. The Kings are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games playing on 3 or more days rest, and they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS win. DeAaron Fox scored 32 points on 12-of-26 shooting and had a dozen assists against Portland in his last start. The Kings have a lot more talent to work with, and should get a "W" at home versus Houston. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Magic v. Heat -6.5 | 103-111 | Win | 100 | 17 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Miami Heat. The defending Eastern Conference champs have had their struggles in the first half of the season, but they went into the All Star break as winners of six of their last seven. Jimmy Butler scored 29 points on 10-of-14 shooting in his return to action versus New Orleans last week. The Magic are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games, and rumors are swirling about possible trades involving their top players. Orlando appears ready to sell off talent and concentrate on rebuilding with a lottery pick. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Oregon State v. UCLA -5 | 83-79 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UCLA. The Bruins have lost three straight, and we are often hesitant to back teams that appear to be slumping at this time of year. Those losses came to USC, Oregon and Colorado. The Beavers aren't exactly the same quality of opposition. UCLA has won four of their last five against Oregon State, and seven of the last 10 meetings. Oregon State just lost by 13 at Oregon, and another double digit loss could be in the cards here against UCLA. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Syracuse v. Virginia UNDER 133 | 69-72 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. We would expect both these teams to be prepared to grind out a gutty defensive game here in the ACC Tournament. The total for this game is higher than it has been in any of the previous 10 head to head meetings. Virginia is 5-1 straight up in their last six versus Syracuse, and the Orange averaged just 50 points per game in those losses. Both these teams played a few high scoring games down the stretch, but when they get together we expect the defense to shine. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Michigan State +1 v. Maryland | 57-68 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MSU. The Spartans have won five of their last seven, and both losses during that span came on the road. There is no doubt they have been the hotter team here as they get set to face Maryland in the conference tournament. Maryland is coming off back to back losses to Penn State and Northwestern. The Terrapins are 2-5 ATS in their last seven neutral site games, and they have struggled offensively during that span. The timing is right to back Sparty as the underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-10-21 | Wizards v. Grizzlies -148 | 112-127 | Win | 100 | 18 h 49 m | Show | |
8* |
|||||||
03-10-21 | Minnesota v. Northwestern -136 | 51-46 | Loss | -136 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Northwestern. The Minnesota Golden Gophers simply collapsed down the stretch, losing seven straight games. One of those losses came at home against Northwestern by a score of 67-59. The Wildcats have also had a disappointing season, but they head into the conference tournament riding a three game winning streak. Poor defense has been a problem for Minnesota all season, and they have allowed an average of 80 points over their last five games. Northwestern has played solid defense during that span, holding opponents to just 66.6 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-10-21 | Barcelona FC +0.5 v. Paris Saint-Germain | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Barcelona. PSG comes into the second leg of this Champions League tie with a 4-1 lead on aggregate. This should force Paris to be more conservative, and Barcelona to be far more aggressive. It would be foolish to count out Barcelona, as the last time they were in this position they reversed a four goal aggregate deficit by winning 6-1 in the second leg versus Paris in 2017. I wouldn't count on that today, but I do expect Barcelona to put some pressure on a banged up Paris club. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-09-21 | Jets +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Winnipeg Jets. The NHL's leading scorer Auston Matthews has returned from a wrist injury, but he's failed to record a point in back to back losses at Vancouver. He told reporters on Monday that he's still not close to 100 percent. The Jets had won six of seven before getting throttled 7-1 by Montreal in their last game. We should expect a much better effort from Winnipeg tonight. The Jets are 5-1 in their last six games as an underdog, and they are 3-2 in their last five at Toronto. They are 4-1 on the puckline in those games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-09-21 | FC Porto v. Juventus OVER 2.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over 2.5. Porto won the first leg of this Champions League tie by a score of 2-1, leaving Juventus a hole to dig out of. Juventus however has been in this position many times before, and with the all time leading scorer in Champions League history, they like their chances. Christiano Ronaldo has scored four goals in his last four starts, so he comes into this match on top form. Porto is the highest scoring team in their domestic league with 47 goals in 22 matches. We should expect both teams to score here in Italy. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-09-21 | Miami-FL v. Pittsburgh -3 | 79-73 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Pitt. The Miami Hurricanes are thin in the backcourt with a pair of starting guards sidelined by injury. The Canes faced Pittsburgh twice in 2020, losing both those games. The Hurricanes are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games, and the Panthers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Pittsburgh has lost six of it's last seven games overall, but what is significant about that run is that five of those six losses came in games decided by single digits. Two losses to NC State came by a combined four points, and losses to Virginia and Florida State each came by seven points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-08-21 | Blues v. Sharks +1.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 20 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the SJS +1.5. The Sharks host the St. Louis Blues tonight, and the Blues have a habit of playing close games. Each of their last six games overall have been decided by one goal. Another close game wouldn't be much of a surprise when you consider that five of the last six head to head meetings between these teams have been decided by just one goal. The Sharks have lost four of their last five, but two of those losses have come by just one goal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-08-21 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga OVER 142 | 55-78 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. St. Mary's in one of the top defensive teams in the country, but the Gaels have had little success slowing down the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The Bulldogs rank 2nd nationally in scoring, averaging over 92 points per game. They dropped 87 on the Gaels in the most recent head to head meeting, and the over is 10-1 in the Bulldogs last 11 neutral site games. Gonzaga is 5-0 in the last five head to head meetings, and they averaged 84 points in those games. The total for tonight's game is lower than it was in four of the last five meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-08-21 | Leeds United v. West Ham United +114 | 0-2 | Win | 114 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on West Ham. A win for West Ham could put them as high as fourth place in the Premier League table, ahead of Chelsea, Spurs and Everton. The Hammers have been playing well, especially at home where they won their last two matches by a combined score of 5-1 versus Spurs and Sheffield United. Leeds United is in a comfortable spot in the middle of the table, safe from relegation. It's been a successful return to the Premier League, scoring a ton of goals while conceding even more. Only first place Manchester City has a better home record than West Ham so far this season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-07-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Penguins | 1-5 | Loss | -191 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on NYR +1.5. The Rangers have won six of their last eight games, and they are 7-1 on the puckline during that span. The Penguins lost at New York by a score of 3-1 last week, and the previous five head to head meetings were all decided by just one goal. The Penguins have won five of their last eight overall, and four of their five wins came in games decided by one goal. That puts them at 1-7 as a puckline favorite. There seems to be every reason to expect another close game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-07-21 | Texas Tech v. Baylor UNDER 139 | 73-88 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Baylor Bears beat Texas Tech 68-60 on the road earlier this season, and we should expect another defensive battle here in Sunday's game. The total for this game is a little higher than it was in any of the previous nine head to head meetings. The under is 20-8 in the Red Raiders last 28 games following an ATS win, and they have failed to reach the total in four of their last five overall The Bears are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite, and I think they will have their hands full here against Texas Tech. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Aljamain Sterling v. Petr Yan -118 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -118 | 20 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Petr Yan. Yan comes in with a record of 15-1, and the one blemish on his record came by split decision back in 2016. He's since won 10 consecutive fights, five of those by KO. Aljamain Sterling has won five fights since his last loss in 2017, all of those wins coming by decision or submission. He hasn't faced anyone as accomplished as Yan, and I think he may be coming in a little overrated. With over seven months to train, Yan should be at his best, and superior striking ability should allow him to punish Sterling if he fails in take down attempts. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Maple Leafs v. Canucks +1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 4 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Vancouver. The Leafs are comforatably in first place in the North Division, with seven points separating them from second place Winnipeg. A 3-1 loss at Vancouver Thursday isn't going to cause much panic, so it's not like I expect them to come out like gangbusters seeking revenge tonight. For the Canucks, it was just their second win over their last eight games, so it's not as though they can put their feet up and kick back. The Leafs have 18 wins, and seven of those wins came by just one goal. The Canucks are 3-6 in their last nine overall, but they are 6-3 on the puckline in those games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Jets v. Canadiens -136 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Montreal. The Habs have lost six of their last seven overall, a slump that cost their head coach his job. They earned a point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets on Thursday, and they will be desperate to earn two points in tonight's game. Montreal battled back from an early 2-0 deficit, and they out-shot Winnipeg 36-27 on Thursday night. Winnipeg might be due for a let down after beating the Habs three times in a row. While the Habs don't have an impressive record at home this season, Montreal is still a tough place to play for visiting teams. That's especially true on a Saturday night in a nationally televised game . GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Virginia v. Louisville +2 | 68-58 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Louisville. Virginia has lost three of their last four overall, and back to back games on the road. The Cavs have struggled to score, averaging just 61.6 points per game over their last five overall. This is reminiscent of the Cavs team that was bounced from the NCAA Tournament by UMBC in one of the biggest upsets in history. Louisville has won nine of 10 home games, and they beat the Cavs at home last season by a score of 80-73. The Cardinals are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games, while the Cavs have failed to cover in four of their last five on the road. The home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight head to head meetings. I'll take the home dog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Panthers v. Predators +1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -185 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Predators. The Panthers won Game 1 of this two game series in Nashville, but I like the Predators as the underdog in a revenge spot in Game 2. The fact that Game 1 was close comes as no surprise, four of the last five head to head meetings have been decided by one goal. It was also the Panthers fourth consecutive one goal game. The Predators have a winning record at home, and in recent seasons they have one of the league's better home records. Don't be surprised if we see another one goal game here in Nashville. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-06-21 | Borussia Dortmund v. Bayern Munich -161 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Bayern Munich. Bayern is still in a class of their own in the Bundesliga, and they will seek a fifth consecutive win over Borrussia Dortmund. They have scored a whopping 67 goals in 23 matches, and no other team in the Bundesliga have scored 50. After a disappointing start, Dortmund is unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions. They sit in fifth place in the table, 13 points behind first place Bayern. Jadon Sancho and Giovanni Reyna will not be fit to play versus Bayern, making it an uphill battle for Dortmund. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-05-21 | Golden Knights v. Sharks +1.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 28 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SJS +1.5. The Vegas Golden Knights are 14-4-1, however half of those 14 wins came in games decided by just one goal. The Sharks are sitting just one point out of last place in the West Division, but they are still quite competitive. The Knights are comfortably in first place in the division, and could be due for a let down. Five of their last seven games were decided by a single goal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-05-21 | Colorado State v. Nevada UNDER 145 | 82-85 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 52 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. There are four teams at the top of the Mountain West standings with 14 wins, one of those teams is the Colorado State Rams. The Rams will play at Nevada Friday, and we might expect both these teams to play tough defense. The Rams have failed to reach the total in four of their last five overall, and the under is 7-2 in their last nine coming off an ATS loss. The Wolfpack won by a score of 67-61 in their last home game against the Rams. I expect to see another low scoring game here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-04-21 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Stars | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 20 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Columbus +1.5. Both the Blue Jackets and the Starts are one game below .500 this season, and the Stars are a heavy favorite here at home Thursday. History suggests this could be another close game, as six of the last eight head to head meetings have been decided by one goal. It might also come as a shocker that the Jackets have actually won nine of the last 10 meetings outright. Such trends certainly justify laying a bit of chalk to get the puckline dog. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-04-21 | Pistons v. Knicks -4.5 | 104-114 | Win | 100 | 20 h 31 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on New York. The Knicks are legit contender to make the playoffs in the East, while the only thing Detroit has a chance of winning is a lottery pick. The Pistons won last night against a group of second and third stringers in a 129-105 win over the Raptors. Playing the second game of a back to back in New York, they should be due for a let down. The Pistons are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win, and they are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games following a double digit win. The Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games, and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-04-21 | Jets +1.5 v. Canadiens | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Winnipeg Jets +1.5 The Montreal Canadiens are struggling, coming into tonight's game as losers of five of their last six. Their slump has already cost their head coach his job, but never-the-less they are a heavy favorite at home tonight against a Winnipeg team that has won five of it's last six. The Jets have also won the last three head to head meetings, and two of those games were decided by one goal. Winnipeg is 18-4 ATS this season, and a record like that certainly justifies paying -175 for the puckline. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-03-21 | UCLA v. Oregon -4 | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 19 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Ducks. First place UCLA is just a half game up on Oregon in the PAC12, and they play at Eugene as a four point underdog tonight. The Ducks are tough at home, with a 10-2 home record. The Bruins are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games, and they are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Ducks are 23-11 ATS in their last 34 home games. Oregon shot 12-of-22 from beyond the arc in an 80-69 home win over Arizona in their last game. They beat the Bruins by 21 points in Eugene last year. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-03-21 | Hawks v. Magic UNDER 225 | 115-112 | Loss | -109 | 20 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Atlanta Hawks have a new head coach, and they won their first game under Nate McMillan by a score of 94-80 at Miami. If that game is any indication of the style they intend to play moving forward, we could see them involved in more low scoring games. Holding the Heat to just 80 points in impressive, but also worth noting that Trey Young attempted just 12 shots, scoring 18 points on 5-of-12 shooting. The under is 36-16 in Hawks last 52 games as a road favorite, and the under is 37-17 in the last 54 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-02-21 | Hurricanes v. Predators +108 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Nashville. If you are going to bet on the Predators, you want to bet on them when they are at home. They host Carolina tonight, and they are catching the Canes playing the second game of a back to back coming off an OT win in Florida. The Predators have won four of their last five overall, and they are 7-4 overall at home. The Canes come in as the favorite, but the underdog is 5-1 in the last six head to head meetings.

03-02-21 | Indiana v. Michigan State -2.5 | 58-64 | Win | 100 | 23 h 10 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Michigan State. The Spartans last two home games were wins over ranked teams, beating Illinois and Ohio State. They are coming off a road loss at Maryland, but back in East Lansing they should be able to handle Indiana. The Hoosiers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall, and they are 3-5 on the road. The Indiana offense has struggled, averaging just 66.4 points per game in their last five overall. Indiana has lost four of their last five overall, including a home loss to the Spartans. Aaron Henry scored 27 points on 9-of-17 shooting in that game. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-02-21 | Texas v. Iowa State +12 | 81-67 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 5 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on ISU. The Cyclones have lost 14 straight overall, but their last three losses came in games decided by 10 points or less. They already lost at Texas earlier this year, but they easily covered the spread losing by six as a 12 point underdog. The Longhorns are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall, and the home team has won outright in seven straight head to head meetings. Expecting Texas to win by double digits on the road here seems to be a bit of a tough ask. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-01-21 | Canucks v. Jets UNDER 6.5 | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under 6.5. The Canucks have been one of the biggest disappointments so far this season, and they should be a desperate hockey club here in Winnipeg tonight. I bet on the under in the last meeting between these teams, and a game tying goal in the final minute pushed the total over. Here is what I said prior to that game: "The Canucks have struggled so far, and they are coming off a 2-0 home loss to the Jets. They have been playing a desperate brand of hockey lately, resulting in just one over in their last seven games. They have failed to reach the total in five of their last six home games. The Jets have also been trending towards low scoring games. The under is 6-1-1 in the Jets last 8 overall. The last five head to head meetings have all gone under, and with the total over six I think the value lies with following the trends." GL, Jesse Schule |

02-28-21 | Warriors v. Lakers UNDER 224.5 | 91-117 | Win | 100 | 24 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Under. The Lakers rank #2 overall in the NBA in scoring defense, and they will be a home favorite Sunday against Golden State. Four of the last six head to head meetings have gone under the total. The under is 5-1 in the Warriors last six road games, and the under is 5-1 in the Lakers last six overall. The under is 21-7 in the Lakers last 28 games playing on 1 days rest. The under is 20-9 in the Lakers last 29 games following a ATS win. We should see strong defensive play here in this game.

02-28-21 | Iowa v. Ohio State -2 | 73-57 | Loss | -108 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Ohio State. The Iowa Hawkeyes are coming off a 22 point road loss at Michigan, and they have lost three of their last five road games. Losses came at Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. The Hawkeyes are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall, and they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. The Buckeyes are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games, and they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss. The home team has covered in four of the last five head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-27-21 | Jazz v. Magic UNDER 218 | 124-109 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Under. The Utah Jazz had won 11 of 12 prior to a loss at Miami last night. They play the second game of a back to back on the road at Orlando tonight, and this looks like a let down spot for Utah. There is no reason for Utah to get up for this game, and I wouldn't be surprised if they limit minutes for key players. The under is 6-2-1 in Jazz last nine road games, and the Magic have failed to reach the total in five of their last six overall. Utah's #2 ranked defense matches up against the Orlando offense that ranks #28 in the NBA in scoring. This should be a low scoring game. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-27-21 | Marquette v. Connecticut UNDER 135.5 | 62-80 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Huskies won at Marquette earlier this year, holding the Golden Eagles to just 54 points. These teams have long history of playing defensive games, and they have been playing strong defense lately. UCONN has held opponents to 65.6 points per game in their last five, while Marquette has only scored 67.8 points per game in their last five. It's almost March, and at this time of year we expect to see more emphasis on defense. GL, Jesse Schule |
