02-11-21 | Utah v. California +5.5 | 76-75 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Cal. The Golden Bears are sitting in dead last in the PAC12 Conference, and they have lost six game in a row. They have been competitive, losing at home to UCLA by four points, and losing their last game by five points at Stanford. The Golden Bears are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. The Utes are only 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games. Cal has just two win in conference play, but one of those wins came on the road at Utah. The Bears won outright as a home underdog versus Utah last February. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-11-21 | Purdue v. Minnesota -148 | 68-71 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Minnesota. The Gophers have been world beaters at home, with wins over Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Iowa. Overall they have won 12 of their 13 home games this season. The home team has won five of the last six head to head meetings, and the Gophers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games. Minnesota scores an average of over 81 points per game at home, while conceding just 68 points per game. Purdue has some big road wins at Ohio State, Michigan State and Indiana. They have lost five of eight road games overall, and Minnesota is as tough as it gets for visitors. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-10-21 | LSU v. Mississippi State -1 | 94-80 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Mississippi State. The Tigers have struggled on the road, and they come into tonight's game in Starkeville as losers of four of their last five overall. The Bulldogs have been solid at home, with an overall home record of 8-3. The home team has won five of the last six head to head meetings, and the igers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. The have covered the spread just twice in their last eight road games. The Bulldogs are playing well as evidenced by covering in four of their last five overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-10-21 | Hawks v. Mavs -165 | 117-118 | Win | 100 | 19 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Dallas. It's been a slow start to the season for a Dallas team that came in with such high expectations. Luca Doncic has averaged 27 points per game, but he hasn't lived up to the hype after an outstanding season a year ago. The Mavs may be turning the corner though, coming into tonight's game as winners of three of their last four. They host Atlanta, and the Hawks are coming off a four game home stand that saw them lose three of four. The Hawks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog, and they lost by double digits in their last two visits to Dallas. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-09-21 | West Virginia +5.5 v. Texas Tech | 82-71 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WVU. The Mountaineers won at home by a score of 88-87 versus the Red Raiders a few weeks ago, and another close game should be expected here in Lubbock. Texas Tech has their fair share of wins, but they aren't exactly a good bet to cover points. The Red Raiders are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite, and they have failed to cover in seven straight as a home favorite. They are 0-8 ATS in their last eight home games. The line of 5-6 seems a little high. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-09-21 | Penn State v. Michigan State -157 | 58-60 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MSU. The Spartans snapped a four game losing streak with a double digit home win over Nebraska in their last game, and they look poised to make it back to back home wins here against Penn State. The Nittany Lions have lost six straight road games, and their only road win this season came in non-conference play. The Spartans have won outright in eight of the last 10 meetings, and I don't expect an upset here in East Lansing tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-09-21 | Arkansas v. Kentucky -117 | 81-80 | Loss | -117 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UK. It's been a disappointing season for Kentucky, and the Wildcats come into tonight's home game against Arkansas as losers of six of their last seven. Four of those losses came on the road, and at home they lost to Alabama and Tennessee (both ranked). Arkansas on the other hand has a winning record in conference play, but they've been earning those wins against the bottom feeders in the conference. The Razorbacks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games, and they have lost four of six road games so far this season. The Wildcats have won the last eight head to head meetings outright. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-08-21 | Cavs v. Suns -7 | 113-119 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Suns. Phoenix has won five of their last six overall and three straight at home, and they are finally starting to look like the team that took the bubble by storm this summer. They host the Cavs, who had a bit of a solid run despite low expectations early this season. Cleveland is coming off three straight home losses, and they have lost seven of 10 on the road. The Cavs have failed to cover in six straight overall, and they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog. The Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Phoenix. It looks like the home team should win this one by double digits. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-08-21 | Oklahoma State v. Kansas -4.5 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Kansas. The Jayhawks have lost five of their last seven overall, but all five of those losses came on the road. They are still one of the toughest home teams in the country, and a home game against Oklahoma State figures to be a good spot to get back on track. The Cowboys have lost their last three visits to Kansas all by double digits. The home team has covered the spread in six of the last seven head to head meetings, and the Jayhawks are 46-21-3 ATS in their last 70 games following a straight up loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-07-21 | Iowa -175 v. Indiana | 65-67 | Loss | -175 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Iowa. I don't normally like a road favorite in college basketball, but Iowa has been a strong play on the road. The Hoosiers are only .500 at home this year, and this looks like a tough spot against a dominant Hawkeyes team. The Hoosiers are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games, and the road team has covered in four of the last five head to head meetings. Iowa lost a close game at home to Ohio State this week, and the Hawkeyes are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games following a ATS loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Texas v. Oklahoma State OVER 145 | 67-75 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 39 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Over. Texas will play at Oklahoma State Saturday, and we are expecting a high score here in Stillwater. These two teams played three times in 2020, going over the total in all three of those games. The over is 8-0 in Longhorns last eight overall, and they have gone over in seven straight Saturday games. The over is 15-4-3 in Cowboys last 22 home games, and the over is 22-8-3 in Cowboys last 33 overall. This total should probably be a little closer to 150. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Drexel v. Hofstra -3 | 73-71 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on Hofstra. The Pride bring a five game winning streak into Saturday's home game against Drexel, and history tells us the home team should be a big favorite here. Drexel has lost eight straight to Hofstra dating back to 2017. The Dragons are 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 road games, and they are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 road games versus a team with a winning home record. The Pride are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 Saturday games, and they are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 games following a straight up win. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings, and the favorite has covered in six of the last seven. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-06-21 | Syracuse v. Clemson -136 | 61-78 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Clemson. |
|||||||
02-05-21 | Wizards v. Heat -6.5 | 95-122 | Win | 100 | 19 h 36 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Heat. Miami has really suffered an NBA Finals hangover, and they come into tonight's home game against the Wizards as losers of seven of eight. The Wizards upset the Heat 103-100 on Wednesday, but Washington has only won three of their last eight overall. Both previous wins during that span have been followed by double digit losses. This being a revenge game for Miami, it could very well be a blowout. The Wizards are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win, and they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 1 days rest. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-05-21 | George Mason v. Dayton -6 | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 18 h 49 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Dayton. The Flyers are no longer the top team in the A-10, but they are still one of the big boys in this conference. They proved that by winning their last home game by double digits against Rhode Island. Their previous two home games were nine point wins over Duquesne and George Mason. The Patriots are coming off a 17 point road loss to St. Bonaventure, and they had previous lost by 20 at Rhode Island. Another double digit loss looks likely here against Dayton. The Flyers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games, while the Patriots are 16-37-1 ATS in their last 54 games versus teams with a winning record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Minnesota v. Rutgers -5 | 72-76 | Loss | -104 | 25 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights are a beast at home, and I don't think five points should be tough to cover against a Minnesota team that isn't that strong on the road. The Gophers are 0-5 on the road, and they have failed to cover in six straight road games. The home team has covered in four of the last five meetings and the favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. This should be a double digit win for Rutgers. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-03-21 | LSU v. Alabama -8.5 | Top | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 16 h 4 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Alabama. The Crimson Tide are undefeated in the SEC, and they spanked LSU by a score of 105-75 in Baton Rouge a few weeks ago. After losing by 30 points at home, you might figure this would be a revenge spot for the Tigers. They might not have a lot of fight in them though, losing their leading rebounder Darius Days to a knee injury in a loss to Texas Tech. Day played 21 minutes in Sunday's game, scoring 11 points and pulling in nine rebounds before suffering a knee injury that will keep him out for at least a month. LSU has lost three of their last four overall, and they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven on the road. The Crimson Tide are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall, and they have covered in five of their last six at home. This should be a double digit win for the Tide. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
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 |
|||||||
02-02-21 | 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. 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 |
|||||||
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 | St. John's +4.5 v. Marquette | 75-73 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |

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 | 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 |
|||||||
01-29-21 | 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 |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Rhode Island v. La Salle +6.5 | 73-60 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on La Salle. |
|||||||
01-26-21 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
|||||||
01-23-21 | 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 |
|||||||
01-20-21 | 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 |
|||||||
01-19-21 | 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 |
|||||||
01-18-21 | 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 |
|||||||
01-17-21 | 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 |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Florida v. Mississippi State +1 | 69-72 | Win | 100 | 18 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Bulldogs. |

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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
|||||||
01-12-21 | 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 | 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 |
|||||||
01-09-21 | 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 | 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. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
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 | 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. GL, Jesse Schule |

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 |

01-04-21 | 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 |
|||||||
01-04-21 | West Virginia -115 v. Oklahoma State | 87-84 | Win | 100 | 17 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on West Virginia. The Mountaineers have lost back to back road games, but they have traditionally played pretty well in previous trips to Stillwater. They won here last year by a score of 55-41, and the home team is just 2-7 ATS in the last nine head to head meetings. The Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games. West Virginia has played a tough schedule, with losses to Kansas and Gonzaga. They should handle a lesser opponent here on the road tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Mavs -1 v. Rockets | 113-100 | Win | 100 | 17 h 20 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Dallas. The Rockets are still dealing with disgruntled superstar James Harden, who sat out the last game with an ankle injury. Harden is still demanding to be traded, so we aren't expecting him to play hurt or give 100 percent for the Rockets on his way out the door. The Mavericks are 21-9-1 ATS in their last 31 road games versus teams with a winning home record. Dallas has covered in four of their last five visits to Houston. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-02-21 | Michigan State -8.5 v. Nebraska | 84-77 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 41 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Michigan State. 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 Cornhuskers are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games overall, they are also 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games. This should be a get right game for Michigan State. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-31-20 | Nevada v. New Mexico UNDER 147.5 | 68-54 | Win | 100 | 23 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. Nevada has played strong defense so far this season, and in two games in the Mountain West they held their opponent to fewer than 70 points in each contest. The Lobos have played twice in the league and have failed to score 54 points in both of those games. The under is 6-1-1 in the Lobos last eight overall, and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-31-20 | Knicks v. Raptors -8.5 | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Raptors. The Raptors are still winless after three games, and I bet against them in their loss at San Antonio. Here is what I said: "The Toronto Raptors are homeless vagabonds here as we head into 2021. They have been banished from their Kingdom in the North, and forced to relocate in Tampa Florida. Their first game in their new home was a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, and now they are asked to win and cover as a road favorite in San Antonio." The Knicks aren't quite the same level of opposition as the Spurs, Pelicans or 76ers. The fact that they won back to back games might just make them like their own smell even a little more than they should. It's time of the Dinosaurs to fight back, or risk extinction. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-29-20 | Purdue v. Rutgers -2.5 | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 19 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights won both meetings versus Purdue last season, and they should be even better equiped 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. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Colorado v. Arizona | 74-88 | Win | 100 | 29 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Arizona. In the past 10 head to head meetings between the Buffaloes and the Wildcats, the home team has won ALL 10 GAMES! The Wildcats have won 19 of their last 23 home games, while the Buffaloes have lost eight of their last 13 on the road. The Buffaloes are 13-39 ATS in their last 52 road games, and they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. Home court should be huge here, as the home team has also covered in four straight meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Rockets v. Nuggets -7.5 | 111-124 | Win | 100 | 28 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets won 26 games at home last year, one fewer than the LA Clippers who had the best home record in the Western Conference. This came after winning 34 home games (NBA best) the previous season. Now they have started the season with back to back home losses, and they host a shorthanded Houston team on Monday. James Harden wants a trade, but he scored 44 points in the season opener almost beating the Blazers in Portland. If he continues to put up MVP numbers, the Rockets might not be in a hurry to get a deal done. I wouldn't want to count on getting 100% from Harden moving forward, and with Ben Gordon, DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall out of the lineup, it's going to be tough to ask them to hang in there in Denver. The Rockets are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games, and the Nuggets are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-27-20 | UC-Santa Barbara v. Cal-Irvine OVER 135 | 56-75 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. These two teams have historically played low scoring games, but because of that we see a low total for tonight's contest. The low number doesn't really reflect what we've seen from these teams so far this season. The Ant Eaters are averaging just under 90 points per game, and they rank 5th in the Big West with a field goal percentage of .484. They have also hit more than 70 percent of their free throws. The Gauchos rank second in the Big West in scoring, and they have a field goal percentage of .542. The over is 4-1 in the Anteaters last five overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-26-20 | Raptors v. Spurs +1.5 | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 30 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the San Antonio Spurs. The Toronto Raptors are homeless vagabonds here as we head into 2021. They have been banished from their Kingdom in the North, and forced to relocate in Tampa Florida. Their first game in their new home was a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, and now they are asked to win and cover as a road favorite in San Antonio. Prior to last season the Spurs had owned the best home record in basketball for almost a decade. They might be a lot better this season, and they got off to a good start with a win on the road at Memphis. The Raptors are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings in San Antonio, and they have failed to cover in seven of their last eight against the Spurs. They are 0-4 ATS in their last four as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Virginia v. Gonzaga -7 | 75-98 | Win | 100 | 25 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are the undisputed #1 team in the country, and they haven't had any trouble so far when playing quality opponents. They have wins over Iowa, West Virginia and Kansas by an average margin of nine points. Virginia has yet to play a ranked team, and they have failed to impress against lesser opponents. The lost to San Francisco, and came close to losing to Kent State in a game that was decided in overtime. The Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last five neutral site games as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Maryland v. Purdue -5 | 70-73 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Boilermakers. Purdue is coming off a 70-55 loss at Iowa, but I like their chances of bouncing back at home against Maryland. The Boilermakers have won 16 of their last 22 home games, while the Terps are 5-7 in their last 12 road games. The Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall, and they haven't covered in four straight road games. Maryland is 5-2 with losses to Rutgers and Clemson, and all five of their wins came against inferior opposition. This looks like a tough ask for the visitors on Christmas Day. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Pelicans +5.5 v. Heat | 98-111 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Pelicans. New Orleans started the season with a win on the road versus the Raptors. Zion Williamson only scored 15 points in 30 minutes, but he was quite efficient shooting 7-of-9 from the field and pulling in 10 rebounds. Brandon Ingram lead the way, scoring 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting. This is a young team that is on the rise, coming off an undefeated pre-season. The Heat are coming off a 113-107 loss at Orlando in their opener, and they may be suffering an NBA Finals let down. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-23-20 | Rutgers v. Ohio State -135 | 68-80 | Win | 100 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Buckeyes. Ohio State has lost it's only BIG10 game so far, losing by a score of 67-60 at Purdue. They look to bounce back with a home game against Rutgers, and the Scarlet Knights haven't been as strong on the road as they are at home. Last year Rutgers was 18-1 at home, but they lost eight of 10 on the road. The Buckeyes won 16 of 18 home games last year. The Buckeyes are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 home games, and the home team in 4-0 in the last four meetings between these teams. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-22-20 | Clippers v. Lakers -136 | 116-109 | Loss | -136 | 114 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Lakers. This time last year we were all wondering if it would be the Lakers or the Clippers that would win the NBA Championship. As it turned out, the Clippers suffered an epic meltdown in the bubble, and there was clearly a group of players that weren't buying into the idea of playing during a pandemic. Lou Williams legendary trip to Atlanta for the wings at Magic City was a clear example of a team in disarray. The Clippers are trying to regroup with a new coach, and more personnel moves are expected to be imminent. Montrezl Harrell has already landed on the other side of town with the Lakers. I would expect LeBron and company to be far more focused here on Opening Night. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-22-20 | West Virginia v. Kansas UNDER 140.5 | 65-79 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. The Kansas Jayhawks are 7-1 and ranked #3 overall. They have been strong defensively, allowing just 59.3 points per game at home. They host West Virginia tonight, and this will be the third meeting between these teams in 2020. The previous two games each went under the total, with Kansas winning 63-50 at home, and 58-49 at West Virginia. The under is 21-10-1 in Mountaineers last 32 overall, and the under is 5-0 in Jayhawks last five overall. The total for tonight's game is far higher than it was the last time these teams played last February. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-21-20 | Arkansas-Little Rock v. Missouri State UNDER 146 | 77-85 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. These teams played last season and the Trojans won by a score of 67-66. The total for that game was set at 140, and the total in the previous five meetings was lower than 130. This appears to be an inflated number based on season averages on both offense and defense. The Missouri State Bears have held four of their last five opponents to fewer than 70 points, and I expect them make life difficult for the Trojans. Little Rock shot just 3-of-14 from beyond the arc in last year's game against the Bears. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-20-20 | Illinois v. Rutgers +2 | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights will be a home dog Sunday against Illinois, and Rutgers has won 22 of their last 23 home games. Illinois on the other had is 7-7 on the road dating back to the beginning of last year. Rutgers won the last meeting by 15 points last February, and the home team has won seven of the last nine head to head meetings. The Scarlet Knights are 12-5-2 ATS in their last 19 home games, and they are 22-8-2 ATS in their last 32 games versus a team with a winning record. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-19-20 | Arizona v. Stanford -136 | 75-78 | Win | 100 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Stanford. Stanford finished just 9-9 in conference play last season, and 20-12 overall. They were 14-4 at home, and Arizona was just 4-6 on the road. The Wildcats have a youthful team after losing the majority of their starters from last season, while Stanford is bringing almost everyone back. Senior forward Oscar Da Silva leads the team averaging over 20 points per game. Daejon Davis is the team's assist leader, and he is also in his senior season. The Wildcats are 8-24-1 ATS in their last 33 Saturday games, and the Cardinal are 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-19-20 | Purdue v. Notre Dame +6 | 88-78 | Loss | -107 | 16 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Notre Dame. Purdue comes into Saturday's game with a 5-2 record, and both of their losses came against ACC teams. The Irish are 2-3, but all three of their losses came against Top 25 teams. Notre Dame has won three of their last four against Purdue, with the lone loss coming at Purdue by a five point margin. The Fighting Irish are 4-1 ATS in their last five neutral site games, while the Boilermakers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games overall. I'll take the points here in a game that I expect to be pretty close. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-19-20 | Youngstown State v. Northern Kentucky -148 | 64-79 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Northern Kentucky. The Norse finished two games out of first place in the Horizon League last year, with an overall record of 23-9 and a home record of 11-4. They won both their games against Youngstown State, and they have won seven straigt against the Penguins since 2017. The Norse are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss, and the home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 head to head meetings. The Norse are very much the same team they were a year ago, and they should still be able to handle a home game against the Penguins. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-18-20 | Davidson v. Rhode Island UNDER 140 | 67-58 | Win | 100 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. The Davidson Wildcats are coming off a loss to Charlotte, in a game that they scored just 52 points on 34 percent shooting. They will be at Rhode Island Friday, taking on a Rams team that is coming off back to back losses averaging 63.5 points in those games. The last meeting between these two teams went to overtime, which pushed the total over the number. They came up short of the number in five of the previous six meetings. The under is 8-1 in Wildcats last nine games following a double-digit loss at home, and the under is 10-3 in the Rams last 13 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-17-20 | St. Joe's +2.5 v. Drexel | 77-81 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on St. Joes. The Hawks are 0-2, with losses to Kansas and Auburn. They will be looking for their first win of the season here against a Drexel team that they have won six straight against dating back to 2011. Drexel is coming off a double digit home loss to La Salle. Ryan Daly was the Hawks leading scorer averaging over 20 points per game last year. Taylor Funk only played seven games, but he was third on the team in scoring. Both players are back in 2021, and the Hawks should be stronger than they were last year. Each of the last three meetings have been close games decided by three points or less, with the last two meetings decided by a single point. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-12-20 | Alabama v. Clemson +1 | 56-64 | Win | 100 | 16 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Clemson. I had Clemson in their season opener, and here is what I said prior to tip off: "Clemson finished just one game over .500 last season (16-15 overall) and they finished in the middle of the pack in the ACC. They might be a little better this season, returning three of their top four scorers, including leading scorer Aamir Simms." They ended up beating Mississippi State by a score of 53-42, and come into today's game against Alabama with a 4-0 record. The Crimson Tide are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games overall, while the Tigers have covered in five straight at a neutral site. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-12-20 | Oregon -7 v. Washington | 74-71 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 0 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Oregon. The Huskies finished dead last in the PAC12 last year and they come into tonight's hoime game against the Ducks with just one win in four games. The Ducks lost their opener to Missouri, but have since won three straight. Oregon has won nine of their last 10 against the Huskies straight up, and they are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 against teams with a losing record (below .400). There have been a lot of people asking questions about why they should even play college basketball at a time like this, and it's likely the Huskies will be a lot less enthusiastic about playing than a Ducks team with a lot more to play for.

12-11-20 | Marquette v. UCLA OVER 139 | 60-69 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The UCLA Bruins opened the season with a 73-58 loss to San Diego State. They shot below 40% in the loss, but they have since won four in a row, averaging 86 points. They host Marquette on Friday night, and the Golden Eagles are off to a good start despite the loss of Markus Howard. The over is 8-3 in the Golden Eagles last 11 road games, and the over is 16-7 in the Bruins last 23 games following an ATS win. Marquette is averaging 77 points per game after winning four of five. We should see a close game with both teams scoring 70+ points. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-09-20 | Maryland v. Clemson -136 | 51-67 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Clemson. I had Clemson in their season opener, and here is what I said prior to tip off: "Clemson finished just one game over .500 last season (16-15 overall) and they finished in the middle of the pack in the ACC. They might be a little better this season, returning three of their top four scorers, including leading scorer Aamir Simms." They ended up beating Mississippi State by a score of 53-42, and come into today's game against Maryland with a 3-0 record. The Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games, and they are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up win. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-08-20 | Syracuse +4 v. Rutgers | 69-79 | Loss | -106 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Syracuse. The Orange are 3-0, but they will be an underdog at Rutgers tonight. The Scarlet Knights are a team on the rise, but they haven't had any success in recent meetings versus the Orange. Syracuse is 8-0 straight up in the last eight head to head meetings dating back to 2007. The Orange are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games, and they have covered in six of their last seven as a road underdog. I think the Orange are too good of a team to be getting this many points.
