02-02-21 | North Carolina v. Clemson +4 | Top | 50-63 | Win | 100 | 19 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Clemson. The Tigers have lost four of their last five, but three of those losses came on the road. The other was a home loss to first place Virginia, the defending national champions. The Tar Heels on the other hand have won six of seven, but four of those wins came at home. None of those six wins came against teams with a winning record in the ACC. Historically these teams have played close games in recent seasons, and last year Clemson won 79-76 in overtime at Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels last win at Clemson came by just two points, and their previous win at Clemson (2015) came in overtime by three points. The Tigers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine home games.

02-02-21 | Baylor v. Texas UNDER 144.5 | 83-69 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 16 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Baylor Bears are still undefeated, and they will be a six point favorite on the road at Texas Tuesday. These two teams have a history of playing very defensive basketball, and the total appears a little low given the history. The Longhorns lost both meetings versus Baylor in 2020, and they failed to score 50 points in both those games. Baylor failed to score 60 points in both those games. The total was under 140 in each of the last 10 meetings between these teams. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech UNDER 139 | 52-57 | Win | 100 | 22 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Sooners are coming off a huge win over Alabama, holding the Tide to just 61 points. Oklahoma has been stellar defensively during a five game winning streak, but they are a significant underdog here in Lubbock. The Red Raiders are coming off a couple high scoring games, both of those on the road. Their last home game was a 68-60 loss to #2 ranked Baylor. History tells us that these teams have failed to reach the total in five straight head to head meetings, yet the total for this game is a little higher than it was in any of those previous contests. Oklahoma has gone under in nine of their last 12 overall, and the under is 25-9 in the Red Raiders last 34 versus teams with a winning record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Rockets v. Thunder UNDER 225 | 136-106 | Loss | -112 | 20 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Rockets appeared to reinvent themselves after dealing James Harden to the Nets, and they have allowed opponents to average just 102 points per game during a five game winning streak. They will face the #25 ranked Oklahoma City offense tonight, and it appears that the bookmakers have set the total a little too high. The under is 18-7-1 in the Rockets last 26 overall, and they have gone under in 13 of their last 19 against the Thunder. The under is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings in Oklahoma City. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Bruins v. Capitals +1.5 | 5-3 | Loss | -193 | 26 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Washington +1.5. The Capitals haven't lost in regulation in any of their nine games so far, despite missing several star players for an extended time. Alex Ovechkin made his triumphant return on Saturday, scoring the game winner in overtime versus Boston. It shouldn't come as any surprise that it took overtime to decide the game, five of the last six head to head meetings between these teams have been decided by a single goal. The Bruins have lost five of their last six road games, and I just can't see how they can be a favorite here in Washington. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-31-21 | UNLV v. Nevada -135 | 60-89 | Win | 100 | 23 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Nevada. The Wolfpack are coming off back to back losses on the road at Wyoming, and they look to get back on track at home versus UNLV. Nevada has won six straight meetings versus the Rebels, and each of their last two home wins versus UNLV came by double digits. The Wolf Pack are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as a home favorite, and they have covered the spread in five of their last seven home games. The Rebels will be shorthanded after losing their starting PG for the remainder of the season. Take NEV. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-31-21 | Panthers v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Detroit +1.5. I had Detroit as a home underdog versus Florida yesterday, and they covered the puckline in an overtime loss. I'll go right back with the Wings here on Sunday. Here is what I said prior to yesterday's game: "The Red Wings have alternated goaltenders in every game so far this season, and that would have Thomas Greiss in line to get the start on Saturday night. Greiss is still looking for his first win, but he's been pretty solid in all four of his starts. The Panthers may have won seven of the last 10 head to head meetings, but six of those 10 games were decided by one goal. I think the Wings have improved, and should be competitive here on home ice." GL, Jesse Schule |

01-31-21 | St. John's +4.5 v. Marquette | 75-73 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |
8* |
|||||||
01-31-21 | Liverpool v. West Ham United OVER 2.75 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 16 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. After failing to score in four straight Premier League matches, Liverpool has scored five goals in their last two matches. The Reds also conceded four goals in those two matches. This won't be an easy match against West Ham. The Hammers have won five straight, scoring 11 goals in those matches. History tells us that we should expect a high score here, as the last two head to head matches saw a combined eight goals. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Canucks v. Jets -129 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -129 | 43 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Winnipeg. The Canucks head to Winnipeg off a six game home stand. They are 5-5 overall and four of their five wins came against teams with a losing record. They have lost three of four road games so far, and they are 1-10 in their last 11 games in Winnipeg. They are just 2-14 in the last 16 head to head meetings. The Jets are a strong home team, they are 13-3 in their last 16 games as a home favorite. The Jets are 16-5 in their last 21 games as a favorite. I'll take the short price on the home favorite given the history. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Pistons v. Warriors -5.5 | 91-118 | Win | 100 | 24 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on GSW. The Pistons are coming off a big home win over the Lakers, but that was a situational advantage for Detroit. Don't expect them to go on a run now, they haven't won back to back games all season. Only one of their five wins have come on the road, and they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games playing on 1 days rest. The Warriors have covered in five straight home games against teams with a losing record. Each of the last four wins for Golden State came by a double digit margin, and I just don't think 5.5 points will be enough for the Pistons. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Panthers v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 27 h 5 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Detroit +1.5. The Red Wings have alternated goaltenders in every game so far this season, and that would have Thomas Greiss in line to get the start on Saturday night. Greiss is still looking for his first win, but he's been pretty solid in all four of his starts. The Panthers may have won seven of the last 10 head to head meetings, but six of those 10 games were decided by one goal. I think the Wings have improved, and should be competitive here on home ice. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Ball State v. Akron -4.5 | 42-74 | Win | 100 | 16 h 14 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Akron. The Zips already beat Ball State by 15 points on the road earlier this season, and they look like a bargain as a small favorite at home here on Saturday. Akron has won five straight overall, and they are just 1.5 games out of first place in the MAC. They are undefeated at home so far, and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games. The Cardinals are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 road games. Gimme the home favorite all day! GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Newcastle United v. Everton -170 | 2-0 | Loss | -170 | 29 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Everton. Everton is back to full strength, and they are once again looking like the team that was top of the table in the first few weeks. They are 3-1-1 in their last five matches, and they host a Newcastle side that has lost five straight. Newcastle has been outscored 11-1 combined in those matches. There are 20 teams in the Premier League, and only two of those clubs have earned fewer points in away matches than Newcastle. While Everton is a big favorite, the price could be even higher. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-29-21 | Nuggets v. Spurs +4.5 | 109-119 | Win | 100 | 19 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Spurs. The Spurs have been playing pretty solid, winning four of six with losses coming to the Warriors and Mavericks. They find themselves catching a handful of points as a home dog versus a Denver team at the end of a road trip. The Nuggets have won five straight, two of those wins coming in overtime. The Spurs are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog, and the home team has won outright in four of the last five head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-29-21 | Ohio v. Buffalo -2.5 | 76-75 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Buffalo. Buffalo is coming off a comfortable home win over last place Eastern Michigan, but they may have a real fight on their hands Friday when they host Ohio. The Bobcats are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games overall, but they aren't that strong away from home. The home team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The Bulls have won six of the last seven head to head meetings outright. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-28-21 | Ducks v. Coyotes -132 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 22 h 10 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Coyotes. The Ducks have three wins this season, and two of those wins came by a score of 1-0. Scoring goals has been a problem for Anaheim, and relying on goaltender Jon Gibson to get a shutout in order to give them a chance to win isn't going to be sustainable. The Ducks are one of the worst in the NHL, averaging just 1.71 goals per game. The Coyotes stats may be skewed by plauying four consecutive games against the Vegas Golden Knights. They were highly competitive in all four of those games though, despite losing three of the four. I like their chances of winning this revenge game against the Ducks. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-28-21 | Red Wings v. Stars OVER 5 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Dallas Stars scored seven goals in their season opener, and they are 3-0 ahead of tonight's home game against Detroit. Thomas Greiss has been brilliant for the Wings, going 0-3-1 with a 2.54 GAA. He has alternated starts with Jonathan Bernier, who hasn't been nearly as sharp. Bernier is 2-1 with a 3.33 GAA, and if the rotation continues he would start tonight. The Stars won Game 1 of this series by a score of 2-1, but the previous seven meetings all saw five or more goals scored. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-28-21 | Kings +1.5 v. Wild | 3-5 | Loss | -169 | 21 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on the LAK. I had the Kings in Game 1 of this series, and I still don't believe this Minnesota team should be favored to beat LA by more than a goal. Here is what I said prior to Tuesday's game: "The Kings have lost four of their first six games, but three of those four losses came by just one goal. They come into Minnesota as winners of two of their last three, and these two teams have a history of playing close games. The last two meetings each went to overtime, and five of the last 10 meetings were decided in overtime or shootout. The Wild are just 3-7 in their last 10 home games, and asking them to cover the puckline seems like a tough ask." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-28-21 | Liverpool v. Tottenham Hotspur +0.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -135 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Spurs. |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Predators | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on Chicago. The Blackhawks lost a close game at Nashville in the first of this back to back set by a score of 3-2. They had won back to back games versus Detroit prior to their arrival in Nashville, and they have covered the puckline in four straight. The Predators have lost 10 of their last 14 when playing the second game of a back to back, and they are perhaps a little overvalued here. Chicago has used three goaltenders so far this season, and the best of the bunch has been Kevin Lankinen, who is 2-0-1 with a 2.63 GAA. Nashville had lost three in a row prior to last night's win. I'll back the Hawks +1.5 goals. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Rhode Island v. La Salle +6.5 | 73-60 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on La Salle. |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Leicester v. Everton OVER 2.5 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. Everton has won four of it's last five matches overall, and they host Leicester who is on a five match win streak. Liverpool has scored a Premier League best 37 goals, but Leicester isn't far behind with 35 goals in 19 matches. Everton has scored just 28 goals, however they have played two fewer matches. These two teams have gone over the total in three of the last four head to head meetings. I think there's enough talent on both these teams to justify a higher number than 2.5. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Sharks +1.5 v. Avalanche | 3-7 | Loss | -125 | 21 h 16 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Sharks +1.5. The Sharks will be a big underdog on the road at Colorado tonight, despite the fact that both these teams have won three of their first six games. These two teams have a history of playing close games, with four of the last five head to head meetings decided by just one goal. Colorado has three wins, but two of those came by just one goal. There is no doubt that the Avs deserve to be the favorite here, but covering the puckline seems to be asking a lot. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Oilers v. Jets +104 | 4-6 | Win | 104 | 20 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Jets. I bet on the Jets in their last game against Ottawa, and I can't pass up on betting Winnipeg as a home dog versus the Oilers. Here is what I said prior to their win over the Jets: "The Jets are coming off back to back wins in Ottawa, and they return home for a third consecutive game against the Senators. The Sens have struggled against the Jets dating back the last few years. The Jets have won eight of the last 10 head to head meetings. The Senators are 11-40 in their last 51 games as a road underdog, and they have lost six straight in the second game of a home and home series. Connor Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina winner, and he looked sharp in a 4-1 win over the Senators in his last start. He is expected to be back between the pipes Saturday." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Kings +1.5 v. Wild | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 20 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on the Kings +1.5. The Kings have lost four of their first six games, but three of those four losses came by just one goal. They come into Minnesota as winners of two of their last three, and these two teams have a history of playing close games. The last two meetings each went to overtime, and five of the last 10 meetings were decided in overtime or shootout. The Wild are just 3-7 in their last 10 home games, and asking them to cover the puckline seems like a tough ask. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Arsenal v. Southampton +0.25 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Southampton. Arsenal was knocked out of the FA Cup losing 1-0 to Southapmton over the weekend, and Aubameyang did not play due to personal reasons. Southampton has the fourth best home record in the Premier League, earning points in six of nine home games. They have also earned points in three of their last four matches against Arsenal. This looks like a pretty even matchup, and a draw would be no surprise here. These two teams are separated by just two points in the table, and by just one goal in goal differential. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Tulsa v. Temple UNDER 128.5 | 67-76 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Under. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have averaged just 57 points per game in their last four, and they are 2-2 during that span. They are excellent on defense, holding opponents to fewer than 63 points per game this season. The Temple Owls know a thing or two about playing defense, and we can expect a real defensive battle here in Philly. The under is 8-2 in the Owls last 10 overall, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last six home games. The Owls have gone under in seven of their last eight versus teams with a winning record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-25-21 | Utah State v. UNLV OVER 137 | 56-59 | Loss | -113 | 17 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Over. The Aggies are coming off their first loss in conference play, falling 84-76 to the Colorado State Rams. They will be a road favorite at UNLV, and I expect another high score here. The Rebels have won four straight against inferior opposition, including two Division 2 teams. The last time they played a contender in the Mountain West they lost back to back games at Colorado State. Both of those games were high scoring (145+). The home team has covered in four straight meetings between these teams, and I expect the Rebels to score enough points to keep this a close enough game to go over the total. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Kings +1.5 v. Blues | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the LAK. The Kings have just one win in five games, but they have covered the puckline in three of their four losses. They lost last night in St. Louis by a score of 4-2, with the empty netter adding to the tally. The Blues are the better team, no doubt about that. This figures to be a good spot for the underdog though, playing the second game of a back to back coming off a loss. The Kings are 5-0 in their last five after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. The Blues are 2-7 in their last nine home games, and they have lost five of their last six when coming off a win. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Hawks v. Bucks UNDER 231.5 | 115-129 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off back to back losses, and that might have them tighten up the defense here against the Hawks. The Hawks have gone under in five straight road games, and the under is 6-1 in Hawks last seven games as an underdog. The Bucks have failed to reach the total in five of their last six overall. This number looks a little inflated. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -148 | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 101 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on KC. The Buffalo Bills have been the better team since midway through the season, and Josh Allen has been playing like an MVP candidate. That being said, Patrick Mahomes is just on another planet. I expect this game be very close, but at the end of the day the Chiefs have the better coach in Andy Reid and a quarterback that does things that nobody else can do. My money is on the Chiefs to escape with a hard fought victory. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Utah v. Washington OVER 141 | 79-83 | Win | 100 | 15 h 60 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Over. The Washington Huskies are the worst team in the PAC12, but they are coming off a big home win over Colorado. They host Utah tonight, and I expect a high score in this game. The Huskies are terrible defensively, allowing over 77 points per game. The Utes have gone over in six of their last eight road games, and the over is 12-5 in Utes last 17 overall. The Huskies have gone over in five straight overall. We should see both teams reach 70 points in this one. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Bucs v. Packers -172 | 31-26 | Loss | -172 | 97 h 1 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Green Bay. Tom Brady has had his moments with Tampa, but at the age of 43 I don't think he's well equipped to go head to head with Aaron Rodgers on the road at Lambeau. Rodgers threw for 296 yards and two TDs and the Packers scored 32 points against the #1 ranked defense in the NFL last week. Davante Adams had nine catches for 66 yards and a TD, and I can't see anyone stopping him at the moment. Aaron Jones has also been a beast, averaging 5.5 yards per carry this season. Last week's win at New Orleans was not really that impressive, with Brady failing to throw for 200 yards. Given that the Saints turned the ball over four times, you might have expected a more convincing win for Tampa. The Packers probably should be favored by a TD, but nobody wants to bet against Brady. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Dustin Poirier v. Conor McGregor OVER 1.5 | 1-0 | Push | 0 | 50 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The last fight ended with McGregor scoring a first round knockout, but I think Poirier will last at least a couple rounds here in the rematch. He's won more than his share of big fights since the loss to Connor. Wins over Gaethje, Holloway and Hooker, and a loss to Khabib in the third round. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Senators v. Jets -150 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 28 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Winnipeg. The Jets are coming off back to back wins in Ottawa, and they return home for a third consecutive game against the Senators. The Sens have struggled against the Jets dating back the last few years. The Jets have won eight of the last 10 head to head meetings. The Senators are 11-40 in their last 51 games as a road underdog, and they have lost six straight in the second game of a home and home series. Connor Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina winner, and he looked sharp in a 4-1 win over the Senators in his last start. He is expected to be back between the pipes Saturday. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Canadiens v. Canucks +1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -180 | 25 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on Vancouver +1.5. The Canucks will be a home underdog after a blowout loss to the Habs on Thursday. Thatcher Demko allowed seven goals on 42 shots in the loss, and he's 0-3 with a 5.47 GAA. We will expect to see Braden Holtby back between the pipes Saturday, and he's a far more respectable 2-1 with a 3.58 GAA. The Canucks should have a chance to execute a little revenge after being embarrassed in their last game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Newcastle United v. Aston Villa -182 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Aston Villa. |

01-23-21 | Kent State v. Toledo OVER 154 | 74-76 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 10 m | Show | |
This is in 8* play on Over. The Rockets have averaged over 90 points per game in their last four, and they host Kent State in what should be a shootout. These two teams have gone over in four straight head to head meetings. The over is 7-1 in the Golden Flashes last eight games following a straight up win. Kent State has scored 80+ points in five straight. Both these teams are below average defensively, so it would be no suprise to see a similar score to the most recent meeting when Toldeo won by a score of 84-82 earlier this season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Nevada v. Wyoming UNDER 148.5 | 64-71 | Win | 100 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on under. The Nevada Wolfpack will be the favorite when they play at Wyoming tonight, and Nevada is one of the strongest defensive teams in the Mountain West. They have help the opposition to just 65 points per game this season. The Cowboys are a high scoring team that averages 78 points per game. They are coming off back to back games against Air Force, and neither of those games saw more than 145 combined points. These two teams haven't gone over 145 points in each of the last four head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Nets v. Cavs UNDER 227 | 113-125 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Nets new Big Three made their debut in Cleveland on Wednesday, and things didn't go as planned. Kyrie Irving scored 37 points on 15-of-28 shooting, but his defensive assignment (Colin Sexton) went off for a career high 42 points and helped Cleveland win in overtime by a score of 147-135. The Cavs held Brooklyn to 113 points in regulation, well below their season average of 120 ppg. Cleveland has been one of the best in the league on defense, allowing just 106 points per game. Unfortunately for the Cavs their offense only averages 102.9 ppg (29th). The under is 9-2 in Cavaliers last 11 games as an underdog, and they have failed to reach the total in 10 of their last 12 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Oilers v. Maple Leafs -136 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 20 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toronto. I had the Leafs in the first game of this series, and the Oilers pulled off the upset. I'll back the Leafs here in this revenge spot tonight. Here is what I said prior to Game 1: "The Maple Leafs are the favorite to win the North Division, and they have won three of their first four games. They host Edmonton tonight, and the Oilers have lost three of four. Toronto has won four of it's last five versus the Oilers, and the Maple Leafs are 5-2 in their last seven home games. The Oilers have lost five of their last six overall, and they are 1-7 in their last eight at Toronto." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Penguins | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 1 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the New York Rangers +1.5. The Rangers have lost two of three to start the season, and Alexandar Georgiev started two of those three games. He stopped all 25 shots he faced in a 5-0 win over the Islanders in his season debut, and he was on the wrong end of a 4-3 loss to the Devils in his second start of the season. The Rangers and the Penguins have played close games in recent seasons, five of the last 10 meetings have gone to overtime and seven of those 10 games were decided by one goal. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-21-21 | Burnley v. Liverpool UNDER 3 | 1-0 | Win | 104 | 16 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. Liverpool has failed to score in three straight Premier League matches, but they will be heavily favored to win at home against Burnley. Goals are not flying in, so we have to work on it. Look at John Stones at Manchester City, he scores three and you cannot explain it. We need to stay calm, greedy and make good decisions and the situation will change." says Jurgen Klopp. Burnley has only scored nine goals in 17 matches this season, and they have only conceded four goals in their last five matches. The last time Burnley played Liverpool they earned a 1-1 draw. We should see another low score this afternoon. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-20-21 | Heat v. Raptors -165 | 111-102 | Loss | -165 | 17 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toronto. After a brutal start to the season the 2019 NBA Champion Toronto Raptors have won three straight. They host the Miami Heat tonight, but it looks like Miami will be shorthanded for this game. Jimmy Butler and a handful of others are expected to miss the game due to health and safety protocols. The Heat are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall, and they have failed to cover in five of their last six road games. Despite their struggles, Toronto has a respectable home record of 4-2. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-20-21 | Oilers v. Maple Leafs -144 | 3-1 | Loss | -144 | 17 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toronto. The Maple Leafs are the favorite to win the North Division, and they have won three of their first four games. They host Edmonton tonight, and the Oilers have lost three of four. Toronto has won four of it's last five versus the Oilers, and the Maple Leafs are 5-2 in their last seven home games. The Oilers have lost five of their last six overall, and they are 1-7 in their last eight at Toronto. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-19-21 | Ole Miss v. Mississippi State -2 | 64-46 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Bulldogs. I had the Bulldogs in their last home game, and here is what I said prior to their win over Florida: "Mississippi State is coming off a heart-breaking 1-point loss at home to Texas A&M, and it won't get any easier Saturday as they host the Florida Gators. They did beat the Gators in each of the last two meetings, and they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss. The Gators are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 Saturday games, while the Bulldogs are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 Saturday games. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings, and I'll take the home dog here." GL, Jesse Schule |

01-19-21 | Blue Jackets v. Red Wings +1.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Wings +1.5. The Red Wings are obviously a young team in the middle of a rebuild, and it might be a few years before they can call themselves a contender. They have to be happy after splitting their first two games at home versus the Carolina Hurricanes. They host rivals Columbus on Monday afternoon, and six of the last 10 head to head meetings have been decided by just one goal. The Blue Jackets are 0-2 after losing both their games at Nashville. The Blue Jackets are 7-20 in their last 27 overall, and they had the most OT losses in the NHL last season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Chelsea v. Leicester +0.25 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Leicester +0.25. Chelsea spent an awful lost of money prior to this season, but big salaries to the likes of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz aren't really paying dividends at the moment. The Blues sit seventh in the Premier League table, six point back of Leicester. They come into King Power Stadium as the favorites, but I fancy the draw here. Three of the last four matches between these teams have ended in a draw, and both teams have scored 33 goals this season. They have also both conceded 21 goals, for a goal differential of +12. Chelsea hasn't scored more than one goal in any of their last four Premier League matches. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-18-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Flames | 2-5 | Loss | -190 | 21 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Van +1.5. I had the Canucks in their last game against the Flames, and they lost 3-0. I expect a better effort here tonight. This is what I said prior to the last game: "The Canucks got themselves a veteran goaltender this off-season, and some might consider Braden Holtby an upgrade from Jacob Markstrom. Holtby got the win in the Canucks season opener, stopping 28-of-31 shots against the Oilers. Markstrom was on the losing end of a 4-3 overtime loss at Winnipeg. The Canucks are 8-3 in their last 11 road games, and I like their chances of getting the best of their former netminder." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Sharks v. Blues -175 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on the Blues. St. Louis won their season opener at Colorado, but they were blown out by a score of 8-0 in their second game against the Avs. They won't like the stink of that embarrassing loss, and that will add a little extra motivation to beat up on an inferior San Jose team. The Sharks are 1-6 in their last seven road games, and they are 17-35 in their last 52 games as an underdog. The Sharks are 3-9 in their last 12 games playing on 1 days rest, and they have lost five straight against the Blues. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Sabres +1.5 v. Flyers | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 23 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on the Sabres +1.5. Buffalo is off to an 0-2 start, losing back to back games to the Washington Capitals. The Flyers are off to a 2-0 start, winning back to back games against the Penguins. It's understandable that Philly is a heavy favorite, but I think the Sabres are going to be competitive here. The under is 4-1-1 in the Sabres last six games as an underdog, and they have gone under in four of their last five overall. This should be a close game that could go either way. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Jets +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 1-3 | Loss | -170 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Winnipeg Jets +1.5. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the favorite to win the North Division, but Winnipeg is still a contender. They have a veteran lineup and a Vezina winning goaltender. The Jets won their season opener in overtime against Calgary. The Jets have won two of their last three versus Toronto, and both of those wins came in games decided by one goal. The Leafs have lost five straight coming off a win, and they are 4-14 in their last 18 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation.The road team has won five of the last six meetings between these teams. \ GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Florida State v. Louisville -125 | 78-65 | Loss | -125 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Louisville. Louisville is coming off it's first loss in conference play on the road at Miami, and they are back home to host Florida State on Monday. The Seminoles aren't quite as formidable as they were a year ago when they finished first in the ACC, but they are just a half game back in the conference standings. Louisville is 23-1 in 24 home games since the beginning of last season, and I like their chances of adding to that total. The Seminoles have only played once on the road this season, losing to Clemson. This spread should be 3-4 points higher than it is. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Wolves v. Hawks -7.5 | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Hawks. The Minnesota Timbewolves are 3-8 overall, and six of their eight losses have come by double digits. Karl Anthony Towns has only played four games, and they are 2-2 when he plays. He's tested positive for Covid-19 and will not play Monday in Atlanta. The Timberwolves are 12-26 ATS in their last 38 games overall, and they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six versus the Hawks. Atlanta won it's last home game by a score of 112-94 versus Philly. They should be able to lay a similar beating on a short-handed T-Wolves team. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-18-21 | Blue Jackets v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on the Wings +1.5. The Red Wings are obviously a young team in the middle of a rebuild, and it might be a few years before they can call themselves a contender. They have to be happy after splitting their first two games at home versus the Carolina Hurricanes. They host rivals Columbus on Monday afternoon, and six of the last 10 head to head meetings have been decided by just one goal. The Blue Jackets are 0-2 after losing both their games at Nashville. The Blue Jackets are 7-20 in their last 27 overall, and they had the most OT losses in the NHL last season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Browns +10.5 v. Chiefs | 17-22 | Win | 100 | 43 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Chiefs. Kansas City are the favorites to repeat as Super Bowl Champions, and I can't argue with that. Patrick Mahomes is on a different level than anyone else in the league, and he always seems to be able to move the ball when the game is on the line. Asking the Chiefs to cover a double digit spread is another story. The Chiefs last double digit win came against the Jets, and they have played eight games since then. In last year's playoffs Kansas City trailed in all three of their games, despite winning all three games by double digits. The Browns are a dangerous opponent, and their ability to run the ball and control the clock could pose problems for the Chiefs. Keep in mind that in college Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma played Patrick Mahomes and Texas Tech. It was one of the highest scoring games in history, and the Mayfield was on the winning end of 66-59 shootout. We could see another thriller here at Arrowhead. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Memphis v. Tulsa +2 | 57-58 | Win | 100 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tulsa. Tulsa is sitting in third in the AAC, and the Golden Hurricanes are 7-4 overall. They have won four of five at home, and they have won three of the last four head to head meetings versus Memphis. The Tigers are 0-6 ATS in their last six games overall, and the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five head to head meetings. The Golden Hurricane are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games. I think this might be a case of Memphis being overrated based on past performance, when they are not quite as strong this season as they have been in the past. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Manchester United +0.5 v. Liverpool | 0-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Manchester United. The Red Devils are sitting in first place in the Premier League table, and they have been on top form recently. Liverpool on the other hand has not been sharp, dropping points in three of their last four matches. Two of the last three head to head meetings have been draws, and I like Manchester's chances of earning at least a draw here. United has only conceded three goals in their last five matches, and during that span they have posted three clean sheets. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-16-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Flames | 0-3 | Loss | -205 | 30 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Van +1.5. The Canucks got themselves a veteran goaltender this off-season, and some might consider Braden Holtby an upgrade from Jacob Markstrom. Holtby got the win in the Canucks season opener, stopping 28-of-31 shots against the Oilers. Markstrom was on the losing end of a 4-3 overtime loss at Winnipeg. The Canucks are 8-3 in their last 11 road games, and I like their chances of getting the best of their former netminder. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-16-21 | Arkansas v. Alabama -2 | 59-90 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Alabama. The Crimson Tide are coming off a massive double digit win at Kentucky, and you might think that sets them up for a let down here on Saturday. I expect them to be all fired up for a home game against Arkansas, a team that they have lost to in six straight head to head meetings. The Razorbacks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games, and they have lost 15 of 20 road games since the start of last season. Alabama is undefeated (5-0) in conference play, despite playing some of the best teams in the SEC. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Southampton v. Leicester -120 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 53 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Leicester City. Southampton is coming off a 1-0 win over Liverpool, and Danny Ings scored the only goal in that match. It was the only goal Southampton has managed to score in their last four matches in all competitions. So the loss of Danny Ings to Covid-19 protocols here on Saturday when they visit Leicester is a huge blow. Leicester is just a point behind second place Liverpool in the Premier League table, and they are undefeated in their last five matches. Jamie Vardy edged out Danny Ings for the Golden Boot last year, and he's just two goals off the pace with 11 goals in 16 matches so far. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-16-21 | Toledo -3.5 v. Akron | 94-95 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toledo. The Rockets are the cream of the crop in the MAC so far, with a 6-0 conference record. They will play on the road at Akron, and asked to cover a few points. Akron isn't the powerhouse it was a year ago, coming off back to back losses to Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan. The Rockets are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games, and they are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall. The Zips are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-15-21 | Wisconsin v. Rutgers +3 | 60-54 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 8* play on Rutgers. I have been backing Rutgers in their recent home games, and here is what I said prior to their win over Purdue: "The Scarlet Knights won both meetings versus Purdue last season, and they should be even better equipped to take on the Boilermakers this season. Home court advantage should be a huge factor for a Rutgers team that has won 23 of their last 24 home games. The Boilermakers are 4-11-2 ATS in their last 17 road games, and they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Scarlet Knights are 13-5-2 ATS in their last 20 home games, but they aren't asked to cover much of a spread here." The Scarlet Knights are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games as a home underdog, and the home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Flames v. Jets +106 | 3-4 | Win | 106 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on WPG. The Jets will play their season opener against the Calgary Flames, and this sets up a revenge spot versus the team that eliminated them from last year's playoffs. The Jets were decimated by injuries in that series, but they come into this game at full strength. The Jets are 6-2 in their last eight home games, and the home team is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings. In their last full season in the league, the Jets owned the third best home record in the NHL. I'll back Winnipeg as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Hornets v. Raptors -7.5 | 108-111 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toronto. The Raptors are sitting dead last in the Atlantic Division with a record of 2-8 overall. They have lost back to back games by a single point, but they have a home game against Charlotte tonight. This should give the struggling Raptors a chance to get a W, and make a statement with a double digit home win. Charlotte is playing on back to back nights after losing 104-93 at home to Dallas Wednesday. The Hornets are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a double-digit loss at home. Gordon Hayward leads the Hornets in scoring averaging 22 points per game, and he left last night's game with a hip injury. His status for tonight is in doubt. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Santa Clara -135 v. Pacific | 58-79 | Loss | -135 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Santa Clara. The Broncos are coming off a 66-64 road win at St. Mary's, and they are 7-2 overall so far this season. They play at Pacific tonight, and this will be the Tigers first conference game, and just their fifth game this season. It's been over a month since the last time Pacific played a competitive game against a Division 1 school. The Tigers have had 10 games cancelled or postponed, and that has to take a lot of the wind out of their sails. The Broncos are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games as a road favorite, and the road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-13-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Montreal +1.5. The experts have the Leafs projected as favorites to win the North, but the Habs are a close second. Montreal has had the better of recent meetings, winning four straight. Close games have been the trend, with five of the last seven head to head meetings going to overtime. The Habs would be 6-1 on the puckline in those games. Montreal had a fantastic off-season, and they come into the 2021 season in excellent shape with two elite goaltenders in Carey Price and Jake Allen. I'll take the dog here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-13-21 | Auburn v. Georgia -125 | 95-77 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Georgia. Both the Bulldogs and the Tigers are winless in the SEC so far, but that will change when Georgia host's Auburn tonight. I like the home side here, as Georgia has been highly competitive despite losing their last three games. They lost to LSU by just two points on the road, and they are 7-1 overall at home this season. The Tigers have failed to cover in four straight road games, and they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-13-21 | NC State v. Florida State -3.5 | 73-105 | Win | 100 | 19 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on FSU. The Seminoles might not be the powerhouse they were last year, but they are still a formidable home team. They host NC State tonight, and the Wolfpack haven't covered in any of their last five road games. They have only covered in one of their last six games overall, and they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog. FSU is 21-1 at home since the beginning of last season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-13-21 | Fulham v. Tottenham Hotspur -181 | 1-1 | Loss | -181 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Spurs. A win today would bring the Spurs within four points of first place Manchester United. Coming off a 5-0 win in the FA Cup earlier in the week, Tottenham has now 3-0 in 2021, outscoring opponents a combined 10-0. Fulham comes into today's match with four draw and a win in their last five overall. Spurs have scored more than twice as many goals (29) than Fulham (13), and they have conceded almost half as many. Tottenham is 5-0 in their last five matches versus Fulham, and that trend should continue here this afternoon. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Pacers v. Warriors -125 | 104-95 | Loss | -125 | 25 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Warriors. The Warriors are 4-2 since Draymond Green returned to the lineup, and tonight they catch the Pacers playing on back to back nights after a loss in Sacramento. The Pacers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games playing on 0 days rest. The Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. Steph Curry is averaging over 28 points per game so far, and he's scored over 30 in three of his last five games. He's proving he's still capable of carrying this team. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Duke v. Virginia Tech +1.5 | 67-74 | Win | 100 | 18 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Virginia Tech. The Hokies are 3-1 in the ACC, with their only loss coming at first place Louisville. They host Duke tonight, and the Blue Devils come in as a road favorite. Duke hasn't looked worthy of laying points on the road, just barely beating Boston College at home last week. The Blue Devils are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games, and they have failed to cover in six of their last seven overall. The home team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine head to head meetings, and the Hokies are 5-1 ATS in their last six overall. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-11-21 | Raptors v. Blazers -180 | 111-112 | Win | 100 | 22 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Portland. I bet against the Raptors last night, and here is what I said prior to their loss at Golden State: "The 2-6 Raptors are a road favorite at Golden State? I guess a slow start hasn't prompted the bookmakers to make any adjustments when it comes to evaluating this Toronto team. The slow start really shouldn't be a surprise, after losing veterans Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol. They are playing their home games in a temporary location, and they have a disgruntled star in Pacal Siakam. The Raptors are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games overall, and they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points." The Raptors are 7-15 ATS in the last 22 meetings versus Portland. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-11-21 | Ohio State v. Alabama -7.5 | 24-52 | Win | 100 | 197 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Alabama. Ohio State is coming off a huge win over Clemson, by far their most impressive performance of the season. They had previously struggled against the likes of Indiana, Penn State and Northwestern. The BIG10 actually had to change the rules in the middle of the season, allowing the Buckeyes to play in their Championship Game. Technically Ohio State shouldn't even be here. They face an Alabama team that has crushed everything in their path, and their win over Notre Dame wasn't as close as the score would suggest. The Crimson Tide have the QB, the offensive line, star wideouts and a beast in the backfield in Najee Harris. I can't see the Buckeyes stopping Alabama, and I can't see Justin Fields matching serves with Mac Jones. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Connecticut -5 v. DePaul | 60-53 | Win | 100 | 18 h 48 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UCONN. The Huskies come into DePaul with a 6-1 record, and their lone loss came against #7 ranked Creighton. They have a history of beating up on their conference rivals, winning 10 straight versus DePaul. Eight of those 10 wins came by a double digit margin. The Blue Demons are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss, and the favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last seven head to head meetings. The Huskies are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. UCONN is coming off back to back double digit road wins over Butler and Marquette. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-10-21 | Raptors v. Warriors +2 | 105-106 | Win | 100 | 18 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Warriors. The 2-6 Raptors are a road favorite at Golden State? I guess a slow start hasn't prompted the bookmakers to make any adjustments when it comes to evaluating this Toronto team. The slow start really shouldn't be a surprise, after losing veterans Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol. They are playing their home games in a temporary location, and they have a disgruntled star in Pacal Siakam. The Raptors are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games overall, and they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Steph Curry and Draymond Green likely still have a bitter taste in their mouth after watching Toronto celebrate a Championship win in their building. The Dubs aren't going to let up here against Toronto. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-10-21 | Indiana v. Nebraska +7 | 84-76 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Nebraska. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are not a good team, let's be honest. They finished dead last in the BIG10 last year, and they are well on their way to another last place finish this season. As bad as they are, they have nine wins in 24 home games since the beginning of last season. They are getting a bunch of points here against Indiana on Sunday, and the Hoosiers have just two road wins in 13 games during that span. Indiana covered in both meetings last year, but had failed to cover in their previous four versus Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are coming off losses to Michigan. Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin, so it's not a surprise they have struggled against the better teams. This game should be a better matchup for them. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-10-21 | Ravens v. Titans +3.5 | 20-13 | Loss | -113 | 36 h 29 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tennessee. The Titans offense is humming along, and they've scored 30+ points in six of their last seven games. The only exception was in a snow storm in Green Bay. They host the Ravens Sunday, and we all remember what happened the last time these teams met in the playoffs. They scored 28 points on the road in an upset win at Baltimore last year. Unfortunately for the Titans, their defense has struggled and they might need to score more than that here in this Wild Card game at home. While Tennessee surely has struggled at times, I am not sure I can get behind the Ravens as a road favorite given Lamar Jackson's history of post-season failure. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-09-21 | UCLA v. Arizona OVER 138.5 | 81-76 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Wildcats are coming off an 87-73 loss to USC, and they have scored 70+ in each of their last six games. Both of these teams have averaged over 75 points per game this season, and we can expect another high score in Arizona tonight. The over is 5-2 in the Bruins last seven overall, and the Wildcats have gone over in five of their last six overall. The Wildcats have gone over in five of their last six home games. This game really could go either way, but we expect both teams to score 70+. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-09-21 | Rams v. Seahawks -4 | 30-20 | Loss | -101 | 91 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Seattle. The Seahawks defense struggled this season, but they held opponents to an average of 15 points in their last seven games. During that time it's been the offense that has struggled, but that didn't stop them from winning six of those seven games. That includes a 20-9 home win over the Rams, knocking Jared Goff out with a thumb injury. It remains to be seen if Goff can return, but regardless the Seahawks have a huge edge at quarterback, and a far more dependable RB in Chris Carson. DK Metcalf has been inconsistent, but he's got something to prove against Jalen Ramsey. I'll take the Hawks at home here. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-09-21 | Nuggets -4.5 v. 76ers | 115-103 | Win | 100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Nuggets. Philly will be forced to fave the Nuggets with just nine players available after several players have been sidelined by health and safety protocols. Ben Simmons won't play because of a knee injury, and starting and backup PG Seth Curry and Shake Milton are also out Saturday. This looks like a situation where Philly will be waiving the white flag.

01-09-21 | Washington v. California -2.5 | 78-84 | Win | 100 | 20 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on California. The Huskies finished dead last in the PAC12 last year, and they are the favorite to finish last this year. The come into Berkeley with an 0-4 record in the conference, and a 1-8 overall record. The Bears aren't a whole lot better, also winless in the conference, but 5-7 overall. While California has lost three straight, for the most part they were competitive in those games. The same can not be said for the Huskies, who have lost by 16, 27 and 23 in their last three overall. The Huskies are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 road games, and they are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The Golden Bears are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-09-21 | Colts v. Bills -6.5 | 24-27 | Loss | -103 | 88 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Buffalo. The public is lining up to back the Bills in their return to the post-season, and experts are cautioning that the spread is a little inflated. That being said, you just can't discount that this appears to be a team peaking at the right time. The Bills won six straight games all by 10 or more points since Week 12. During that time Josh Allen has been the best quarterback in the league. He's surely superior to a 39 year old Phillip Rivers, who at this point in his career is a "game manager" at best.

01-09-21 | Texas v. West Virginia +1 | 72-70 | Loss | -107 | 18 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on West Virginia. Texas will come into West Virginia as a favorite, with a record of 9-1. The Mountaineers are 9-3, but two those three losses came to teams ranked in the Top 5 (Gonzaga and Kansas). They are 5-1 at home, after going 14-2 at home last season. The home team has won seven of the last eight meetings, and the Longhorns lost by 38 points in their last game at Morgantown. The Mountaineers are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 home games, and the home team is 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-09-21 | Ohio State v. Rutgers -3 | 79-68 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Rutgers. I have been backing Rutgers in their recent home games, and here is what I said prior to their win over Purdue: "The Scarlet Knights won both meetings versus Purdue last season, and they should be even better equipped to take on the Boilermakers this season. Home court advantage should be a huge factor for a Rutgers team that has won 23 of their last 24 home games. The Boilermakers are 4-11-2 ATS in their last 17 road games, and they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Scarlet Knights are 13-5-2 ATS in their last 20 home games, but they aren't asked to cover much of a spread here." The Buckeyes have failed to cover in five straight road games, while the home team has covered in each of the last five meetings between these two teams. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-08-21 | Wizards v. Celtics -5.5 | 107-116 | Win | 100 | 16 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Celtics. Boston has won five of their last six games, and they host the Washington Wizards on Friday. Washington is just 2-6 to start the season, and they haven't had much success in recent trips to Boston. They are 2-11-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Boston. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss. Bradley Beal scored a whopping 60 points in his last start, but the Wizards lost nevertheless. After coming back from 21-points down at Philly, they went on to lose 141-136. This could set them up for a let down on the road here in Boston. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-08-21 | Purdue v. Michigan State -4 | 55-54 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Michigan State. I had the Spartans in their win at Nebraska, and here is what I said before tipoff: "Coming off three straight losses, the Spartans are asked to cover heavy chalk as a road favorite. I love it! Nebraska has lost five straight by double digits, and they have lost five of their last six versus the Spartans by 10 points or more. The Spartans are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points." The Boilermakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games, and the home team is 4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-07-21 | USC v. Arizona -159 | 87-73 | Loss | -159 | 20 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Arizona. The Wildcats host USC Thursday, and home court has been a huge factor in recent meetings between these PAC12 rivals. The home team is 9-1 straight up in the last 10 head to head meetings, with the lone exception being a road win for the Wildcats. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Trojans suffered a double digit home loss to Colorado, before beating Utah by a score of 62-46 in their last game. This will be their first true road game. Should be an easy W for the Cats.

01-06-21 | Boston College +12.5 v. Duke | 82-83 | Win | 100 | 22 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Boston College. The Blue Devils haven't played a game since mid December, and after losing to Illinois Coach K suggested that playing during a pandemic didn't seem like the right thing to do. He's since been forced to quarantine, and he won't be at tonight's game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. I can't see laying double digits with a team that isn't mentally ready, and hasn't played in almost a month. The Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall, and they have failed to cover in four straight home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-06-21 | Rockets v. Pacers -126 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 16 h 1 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Pacers. The Rockets are still shopping James Harden, and until they sort that out it's hard to imagine they will be competitive. They are coming off a 113-100 home loss to the Mavericks, and Harden scored just 21 points of 5-of-17 shooting. The Pacers are currently in first place in the Central Division, and they should be all fired up for a home game tonight. The Rockets are 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games, and they are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Indiana. The Pacers are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-06-21 | Parma Calcio 1913 v. Atalanta -1.75 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Atalanta. After finishing among the top clubs in Italy last season, Atalanta got off to a slow start to this season. They have now found their form, coming into today's match undefeated in their last five matches. They have won four straight against Parma, and three of those wins came by two or more goals. Atalanta has scored 33 goals, almost three times what Parma has scored this season. Atalanta has won their last three home games by a combined 12-2 margin. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-04-21 | Kings -132 v. Warriors | 106-137 | Loss | -132 | 19 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Sacramento. The Golden State Warriors are coming off a blowout win over Portland, with Steph Curry going off for a career high 62 points. This puts them at .500 on the season, and still a long way from looking like a playoff team. Draymond Green didn't do much last night, scoring one point and pulling just three rebounds in 28 minutes. The Dubs look like they face a massive let down spot here in the second game of a back to back. The Kings are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall, and the Warriors are are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 0 days rest. GL, Jesse Schule |
