This is a play on the NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH for our Tuesday Free Play. We have seen this line go up from an opener of 2.5 all the way to 5 in some spots as of late Tuesday morning. Notre Dame was coming off a brutal and controversial loss in California two Fridays ago and returned home to face Clemson on Saturday and got rolled by 15 points as a 3.5-point underdog. The Irish are now catching a bigger number against a team ranked lower than Clemson in the NET which is due to the recent slide as well as the Miami current success. The Hurricanes have won nine straight games which includes a pair of decent road wins at Mississippi and Wake Forest, the latter being their only Quad 1 win. This game qualifies in that section based on it being on the road but we cannot be completely sold on Miami as it has played a schedule ranked No. 293 in the country compared to Notre Dame which has played the No. 80 ranked slate. The Hurricanes have a revenge game at Clemson on deck and could be caught with Notre Dame being a live dog. Play (618) Notre Dame Fighting Irish

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Star Attraction. Milwaukee is back home following a 2-2 roadtrip and it should have been 3-1 but the Bucks lost the final game in Denver despite the Nuggets playing only one of their normal starters. They did not improve their road record as they are still four games under .500 and at 9-9 at home, they are certainly nothing close to where they used to be but are in a good spot here in a bounce back spot against a depleted Minnesota team. Milwaukee will be out for revenge as well following a three-point loss at Minnesota on December 21st, a game that Giannis Antetokounmpo missed. Minnesota has won five of its last six games following a one point win over San Antonio on Sunday at home and the Timberwolves are back on the road where they are a solid 11-8 but will be without Anthony Edwards who is out with a foot injury and will remain without Terrence Shannon, Jr. and will also be without Rudy Gobert who is suspended for one game due to his number of flagrant fouls. Here, we play against road teams in non-conference games, off a close home win by three points or less. This situation is 30-9 (76.9 percent) since 2022. 10* (552) Milwaukee Bucks

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Revenge Rout. This is the ultimate revenge spot and Oklahoma City is not taking this game lightly. The Thunder have been pedestrian of late as they are 9-6 over their last 15 games after a 24-1 start and the recent stretch started with a loss against the Spurs and that was the first of three losses to San Antonio in a span of two weeks. Oklahoma City is 33-7 overall so the Spurs have accounted for 43 percent of their losses and the one way to salvage a game is to shoot better from long range as the Thunder shot 32-111 (28.8 percent) from behind the arc in those three games. Making it more urgent is the fact they have shot only 25 percent from long range over their last four games so this is the turnaround. They are 0-5 ATS their last five which is now auto take. San Antonio is coming off a loss against Minnesota and has lost five of its last nine games although it is on a three-game ATS winning streak. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 on the season after going under the total by 48 or more points total in their last seven games. This situation is 106-66 (61.6 percent) since 2022. 10* (548) Oklahoma City Thunder

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Phoenix closed its mini homestand with wins over the Knicks and Wizards and the Suns have officially turned a corner as they have won nine of their last 11 games while covering six straight games and 12 of their last 13 games. We had them against Washington in what was thought to be a letdown spot but they came through and now they hit the road where they are 10-10 and are in a sell high spot as their road wins during this recent stretch have come against Memphis, Washington and New Orleans twice. Miami is back home following a three-game roadtrip where it lost all three games against Oklahoma City, Indiana and Minnesota and none were close as they were by an average of 21.3 ppg. The Heat fell to 7-13 on the road but are 13-6 in Miami including wins in three of four. Tyler Herro has played only nine games and this is his first home game since his return while Norman Powell who missed last game is expected to be back. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 on the season covering eight or more of their last 10 against the spread. This situation is 46-19 ATS (70.8 percent) since 2022. 10* (546) Miami Heat

This is a play on the KANSAS JAYHAWKS for our CBB Star Attraction. Iowa St. is off to a 16-0 start which is the best start in program history and remains one of five undefeated teams in the country. The Cyclones may have been caught peeking ahead to this game early on Saturday as they trailed for most of the first half before coming back to beat Oklahoma St. by 12 points. It was their sixth straight double-digit victory and it has come against a schedule ranked No. 98 but to their credit, they do own a pair of Quad 1 road wins over Purdue and Baylor but head to Lawrence at a bad time. Kansas is off to a 1-2 start in the Big 12 Conference and it very well could be 0-3 if not for a 15-point rally against TCU that was eventually won in overtime. Now the Jayhawks are getting points at home and will be contrarian and this is the spot for the upset as Kansas is 47-8 under head coach Bill Self following a conference road loss. 10* (650) Kansas Jayhawks

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA SOONERS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Oklahoma easily defeated Mississippi to open SEC action but the Sooners then hit the road and lost at Mississippi St. and Texas A&M which put them at 1-2 on the road. Those losses also dropped them to 2-5 in Quad 1 and Quad 2 games but all seven of those games have been away from home so this is by far their biggest home game of the season and on a two-game losing streak, it can be a welcome game and a statement contest and a needed one with the brutal upcoming SEC schedule. Florida is definitely not the same Florida that won the National Championship but the Gators are trending the right way. They are coming off back-to-back blowout wins over Georgia and Tennessee but those were at home where they are 8-0 including a 2-0 record in Quad 1 games but they are 1-4 in Quad 1 games away from home  and come here at a bad time. 10* (648) Oklahoma Sooners

This is a play on the MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS for our CBB Letdown Fadeaway. Wisconsin is coming off one of the biggest upsets this season as it went to Michigan and handed the Wolverines their  first loss of the season as the Badgers won by a possession as 18.5-point underdogs. This presents a huge letdown and only if it was at home would it be bigger but now is the time to sell high as the public will not have forgotten that heading into this game. That was their second straight win to move to 3-2 in the Big Ten Conference and it evened their record at 1-1 on the road, the loss coming at Nebraska by 30 points. The Gophers are 10-6 on the season including an identical 3-2 conference record. They are coming off a 70-69 loss to USC on Friday, which halted a five game winning streak that included Quad I wins over Iowa and Northwestern. It was their first home loss and they are 2-0 in their other Quad 1 and Quad 2 home games. 10* (926) Minnesota Golden Gophers

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. After an awful 1-6 start, Ohio got a home game against a horrible Maine team and blew out the Black Bears and that jump started a turnaround that has seen the Bobcats go 9-1 in their last 10 games including a 4-1 start in the MAC after coming into the season as preseason contenders. Ohio is 2-2 on the road and to its credit, the two losses were at St. Mary’s and Louisville but the two wins were against Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan, both ranked below Toledo. The Rockets have had an up and down season as it opened 0-2, won four straight, went 1-4 then won four straight games again before their last game where they were blown out at home against Miami by 14 points on Friday. They are just 5-3 at home but those losses came in their first two games and Miami is showing it is one of the best mid-majors in the country. 10* (614) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the LOUISVILLE CARDINALS for our CBB Contrarian Crusher. Virginia has won three straight games and is 14-2 on the season which includes a 3-1 start in the ACC with the lone loss coming against Virginia Tech in triple overtime. The Cavaliers are humming along which will make them the popular play here and they have a 2-1 record in Quad 1 games with those two wins coming on the road but one was against Texas way back in early December and the other against NC State with the latter being their toughest opponent at No. 31 in the NET Rankings and now they face No. 18 Louisville. The Cardinals opened up 9-1 but have gone just 3-3 in their last six but two of those were on the road with the lone home loss coming against Duke. That was part of their 2-4 Quad 1 record with that being the only home game so this marks just the second one and they want to get right after a lethargic win over Boston College. 10* (612) Louisville Cardinals

This is a play on the TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Tennessee is coming off a loss at Florida by 24 points on Saturday to fall to 0-3 on the road and it has been a very mediocre stretch for the Volunteers. After a 7-0 start, they are currently on a 4-5 run as the schedule has ramped up. They defeated Houston during that opening stretch but have gone 1-5 in Quad 1 games since then but all of the losses have been away from home with the win coming at home against Louisville by 21 points where they are 9-0 and drop down to Quad 2 for this game where they are 1-0, a 14-point win over Texas. Texas A&M has won six straight games and is 11-1 in its last 12 games, the only loss coming against SMU in overtime in Arlington so this is going to be no easy task for Tennessee. This does include a win at Auburn which is the Aggies lone Quad 1 win after losing the first two against Oklahoma St. and SMU. 10* (608) Tennessee Volunteers
