This is a play on the MILWAUKEE PANTHERS for our Sunday Free Play. Milwaukee is coming off an 18-point loss against Northern Kentucky on Friday at home as it fell to 3-3 in the Horizon League. That was the Panthers fourth straight loss and this has to be the get right game for the preseason conference favorites. They were annihilated on the boards against Northern Kentucky but they should no issues here against an IU Indianapolis team that is No. 352 in the country in Rebound Rate and the Jaguars are No. 346 in Offensive Rebound Percentage on defense so the Panthers should have numerous second chance points. The Jaguars are No. 322 in the NET Rankings as they have lost five straight games, their fourth losing streak of the season of three or more games. Milwaukee needs a beatdown before facing first place Oakland on Thursday. Play (854) Milwaukee Panthers

241-210-10 NFL Run after brutal Packers loss. TWO Wild Card Winners Sun-Mon. CBB 122-104-1 Run with THREE winners Sunday. CFB 28-14 run with the National Championship on deck. NBA 17-6-1 Run. All Sports Subscription

This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Ultimate Underdog. Washington was playing some solid basketball as it had won five of seven games, easily it best stretch of the season, but it has since suffered consecutive 21-points losses at Philadelphia and at home against New Orleans. A trip out west could do the Wizards some good as it is a new look roster with CJ McCollum shipped out to Atlanta and Trae Young being brought in with still no timeline for his return. They are catching a big number to open the roadtrip as this is a bad spot for Phoenix. The Suns have turned a corner as they have won eight of their last 10 games while covering five straight games and 11 of their last 12 games so the markets have no choice but to adjust this number up. Phoenix is coming off a home win against New York on Friday so there is the letdown and they embark on a six-game roadtrip starting in Miami so there is the lookahead. 10* (525) Washington Wizards

This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. We had the Knicks on Friday and they could not carry a win over the Clippers into their roadtrip as they lost to the Suns by five points. The win over Los Angeles snapped a four-game losing streak but they gave it right back in Phoenix and while this is typically a likely win as the Knicks have won three straight games here, it will be a little more difficult this time around but the recent skid will have them focused especially with just having Sacramento on deck. New York is 14-4 against teams outside the top 16. The injury list for Portland is the longest we have seen at this stage of a season in a long time as they have six players officially out with Robert Williams III and Jrue Holiday listed as questionable. Despite this, the Blazers have won five straight games, covering all five, including a two-game home sweep of the Rockets on Wednesday and Friday. 10* (519) New York Knicks

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Signature Enforcer. For the first time this season, Moritz Wagner, who has yet to play this season because of left knee surgery, is not on the injury list as he will make his season debut. The Magic will still be without Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs but the return of Mortiz should give them the shot in the ass they need as they have plodded along with an 8-10 run following a three-game winning streak, the last time they have won consecutive games. They are coming off a 103-91 loss to the Sixers on Friday, a season point total, and going back they are 13-1 in their last 14 games following a loss. We were on the Pelicans on Friday as they snapped a nine-game losing streak with a win over Washington but head to Orlando at the wrong time. New Orleans is now 3-14 on the road, the other wins against Chicago and Dallas, when the Mavericks were a shell of themselves from who they are now. 10* (514) Orlando Magic

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Star Attraction. Washington is back home following a Midwest trip that did not go well as it lost both games at Indiana and Purdue to fall to 9-6 overall and 1-3 in the Big Ten Conference. The one win actually came on the road at USC following a conference opening loss at home against UCLA by two points. That is the Huskies only home loss of the season as they are 6-1 and this will be the only other big test in Seattle and this is actually a huge game because they have Michigan on deck which is coming off its first loss of the season so a loss here could mean a 1-5 conference start after that. The Buckeyes won their first Northwest game at Oregon on Thursday by 10 points to get back over .500 at 3-2 and they improved to 3-1 on the road which is helping the line for Washington. Ohio St. is 1-3 in Quad 1 games, the only win at No. 74 NET Ranked Northwestern. 10* (862) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. North Texas is coming off its first home loss of the season as it fell by four points against South Florida and moved to 1-2 in the American. The Mean Green are 3-4 in their last seven games and after failing to cover against TCU by a half-point in a 10-point loss, they have covered their last five lined games with a non-Division I win over University of Science and Arts (OK) mixed in there and now it is fade time based on that ATS run. They hit the road where they are 1-3 with the win coming at South Alabama by one point. Wichita St. has dropped two straight games, an overtime loss at Charlotte and a two-point loss at home against Rice which the second close home loss of the season and it added to the frustrations as all seven the Shockers losses have been by one or two possessions and they sit No. 365 in the Luck Ratings. Blowout time. 10* (856) Wichita St. Shockers

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Afternoon Dominator. Iowa had its four-game winning streak snapped with a three-point loss at Minnesota and had to withstand the fans storming the court and now the Hawkeyes are back home and if they win, guaranteed they will not be storming the court. Iowa comes in 2-2 in the Big Ten Conference as it opened with a loss at Michigan St. and then rolled over Maryland and UCLA on its home floor where it is 9-0. The Hawkeyes are 0-2 in Quad 1 games but both on the road as in addition to the Spartans, they lost at Iowa St. by four points. Illinois has won four straight games since losing at home against Nebraska but the Illini have been heavy favorites in the last three and now they are seeing a flat number after being favored at Ohio St. in their only true road campus game as Penn St. was at the Palestra. That Buckeyes win is part of their 3-3 record in Quad 1 games. 10* (824) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CHARGERS for our Wild Card Game of the Year. The public loves the Patriots here as they blew through the league by going from a 4-13 record last season to a 14-3 record this season. Playing the easiest schedule in the NFL, not only this season but it ranked as the third-easiest schedule since 1978 and the second-easiest in the 21st century based on opponent performance. As a favorite of three points or more or more, New England is 10-0 straight up and 8-2 ATS, winning those ten games by 17 ppg but the only team with a winning record in those games was, you guessed it, there was not one as the best team was Carolina. This just goes back to the schedule the Patriots have faced as they defeated only one team with a winning record and that was Buffalo who also returned the favor and the only other opponent they faced with a winning record was Pittsburgh which resulted in a loss. Quarterbacks make a difference in the postseason and while this is an understatement, it has been dominated by experience. Quarterbacks that are making their first playoff start going up against a quarterback with playoff experience are 20-40 straight up and 20-39-1 ATS and it makes little difference in home/road splits as those inexperienced quarterbacks at home are 12-21 both straight up and against the number. The Chargers rested last week and are ready to go with an elite defense that allows the fewest 20-yard or more pass plays and an offense featuring Justin Herbert who is 18-12 ATS as an underdog. Here, we play against teams after two straight wins by 21 or more points going up against an opponent after scoring three points or less in the first half of the last game. This situation is 42-16 ATS (72.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (383) Los Angeles Chargers
