The Minutemen are 14-9 ATS and 14-9 O/U, while the Spiders are 17-5-1 ATS and 12-10-1 O/U.

I look for Richmond to take this game tonight and cover the spread. Play Richmond. | |||||||

02-13-24 | Marquette v. Butler +4.5 | 78-72 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Marquette Golden Eagles entered the game with an impressive record of 18-5 and ranked 4th in the AP Top 25 in the nation. They have a strong standing in the Big East with a conference record of 9-3, good for second behind the nation's No 1 ranked Connecticut. The Butler Bulldogs, on the other hand, have a decent record of 16-8 overall and a conference record of 7-6. They sit 4th in the conference. Butler shocked Marquette in their first meeting, taking the game on the road, 69-62, as a 12-point dog. Butler matches up well with Marquette. A big reason for that is the rebounding rates for Butler. They are better on the glass than Marquette, which could grab them a few extra possessions. Furthermore, the Butler offense is solid and will be able to keep pace with Marquette. Marquette has won seven games since its loss to Butler, covering six of those. Butler is 5-1 S/U and 4-2 in its last six games. Butler has home court here tonight and gets around 4-points. They have already proved they matchup well with this Marquette team. I'll take the points at home with Butler. | |||||||

McNeese laying a ton of points on the road here tonight as it currently hovers around 20-points. Houston won't win this game, but I expect them to cover at home with this massive line. Play Houston Christian. | |||||||
02-11-24 | Tulane +8.5 v. Memphis | 78-90 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
American Athletic Conference clash here today between Tulane and Memphis. Tulane is 4-6 in conference play and about in the middle of the pack. Memphis is few rungs higher on the conference ladder at 6-4. The Tulane Green Wave are 13-9 overall and 10-11 vs the spread this year. They are coming off a win at home over Temple, 92-80, as a 10-point favorite. That broke a three game losing streak for the Green Wave. They are 2-4 S/U and 3-3 ats on the road but have only a -3 point differential. The Memphis Tigers are 17-6 S/U and 7-16 ATS on the season. They are 9-2 S/U at home but just 1-10 vs the spread. The Tigers are 2-4 S/U and 0-6 ATS in their last six games. This is the second meeting between these teams as they met back in Tulane on Jan 21 with Tulane getting the win, 79-81, and covering the 3-point dog line. Kevin Cross led the Green Wave with 18 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while Jaylen Forbes added 17 points and six rebounds. David Jones had a game-high 25 points for the Tigers, but missed a potential game-tying jumper at the buzzer. Tulane likes to play at a fast pace, averaging 85.1 points per game, which ranks second in the AAC and 12th in the nation. Memphis prefers a slower tempo, averaging 80.4 points per game, which ranks fifth in the AAC and 46th in the nation. The Green Wave also rely heavily on the three-point shot, making 10.5 per game, which ranks first in the AAC and 13th in the nation. The bench production could also be a deciding factor, as Tulane has a deeper rotation than Memphis. The Green Wave get 32.5 points per game from their reserves, which ranks second in the AAC and 35th in the nation. I expect a close game here on Sunday and with Memphis having issues covering spreads, I'll take the points with Tulane. | |||||||

Play Colorado. | |||||||
02-10-24 | St. John's +8 v. Marquette | 75-86 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |

The Red Storm have struggled a bit of late, going 2-5 S/U and ATS their last seven games. The Marquette Golden Eagles have won six straight games and covered five of those. They are 10-1 S/U and 7-4 ATS at home. Marquette has their big showdown with conference leader and No 1 ranked U Conn next Saturday. Have to think a game like today holds little interest with that game at U Conn on the horizon. I'll take the points today with St John's. | |||||||

NC Tar Heels are looking to rebound from their loss at home to Clemson in the last game, 76-80, as a 6-point favorite.

NCU has now lost two of their last three conference games as they look to hold the top spot in the conference. The Miami Florida Hurricanes are also coming off a loss, at Virginia 38-60, as a 5.5-point dog. In what was the team's worst performance of the season they shot just 28.6% from the field and a dismal 10% from the 3-point arc. The Canes are 11-2 S/U and 8-5 ATS at home with a +16.6 point differential. You know the Canes will be on their best today in front of the home crowd after that disastrous game last time out. I'll take Miami in this one. | |||||||
02-10-24 | Auburn v. Florida +2 | 65-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
SEC matchup here today has two of the conferences better teams meeting as Florida hosts Auburn. Auburn is tied for 1st place in the SEC with a 8-2 record and 19-4 overall mark.

The Auburn Tigers have won three straight since their two game losing streak. They are coming off a win over Alabama, 99-81, as a 6.5-point favorite. The Tigers are just 3-3 S/U and ATS on the road though. The Florida Gators are a small 1 to 2 point home dog here today. They are 9-3 S/U at home this season with a +17.9 point differential. The Gators look to rebound from their loss on last Saturday to Texas A&M, 66-67, though they covered the 4-point dog spread. That makes them 4-1 S/U and ATS in their last five games. I look for Florida to give Auburn a wire-to-wire close game and pull out the home victory. Play Florida | |||||||
02-10-24 | Alabama v. LSU +7.5 | 109-92 | Loss | -112 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
The No. 16 Alabama Crimson Tide (16-7, 8-2 SEC) will travel to play against the LSU Tigers (12-10, 4-5 SEC) on Saturday, February 10, 2024. Alabama has been performing well this season with a record of 16-7 and has been particularly strong when playing as favorites. Their top performer, Mark Sears, is averaging 20.3 points per game with a shooting percentage of 52.3%. On the other hand, LSU has had a challenging season at 12-10 overall, but has shown potential in recent games. LSU has lost 4 of their last 5 games and gone 2-3 vs spread. Their leading scorer, Jalen Cook, is questionable for the game due to a hamstring injury. If he's able to play, his scoring ability could significantly impact LSU's performance. Despite the challenges, LSU is expected to put up a valiant effort. The bookmakers have set Alabama as solid 7-point favorites. This game is predicted to be a showcase of Alabama's powerful offense against LSU's resilient defense. I look for Cook to play here today in this important game. LSU is also 9-3 S/U at home with a +13.5 point differential. I look for LSU to give Alabama all they can handle. Take the points with LSU. | |||||||

American Athletic Conference matchup here today has two of the top tier conference teams meeting as 2nd place Florida Atlantic (8-1) plays at 4th place UAB (6-3). The Florida Atlantic Owls are having a nice season as they battle for the AAC regular season crown. The Owls are 18-4 overall S/U and 11-11 ATS.

02-07-24 | Wisconsin -5.5 v. Michigan | 68-72 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
The Wisconsin Badgers are set to face off against the Michigan Wolverines in a highly anticipated Big 10 college basketball game on Wednesday, February 7. Wisconsin is tied for second in the Big 10 with Illinois 1.5-games back of conference leader Purdue. Michigan is last in the conference with a 2-9 record and 7-15 overall mark. Wisconsin has a 9-3 S/U and 7-5 ATS in their last 12 games. The final score of the last 10 Badgers games has gone over the set total eight times. This game is a chance for Wisconsin to prove its mettle after being ranked in the top eight before losing to Purdue and dropping an overtime loss at Nebraska in their last two games. The Michigan Wolverines will try to break a three-game home losing skid and five game overall losing streak. They have not covered the spread this season (0-3 ATS) when playing as at least 5.5-point underdogs. They are also 0-5 ATS their last five and 1-11 ATS their last 12 games. The Wolverines are also 4-7 S/U and 3-8 ATS at home this season. Don't normally like laying points on the road in conference, but Wisconsin is much the better team and not much home court advantage for Michigan here. Play Wisconsin. | |||||||
02-06-24 | Michigan State v. Minnesota +3.5 | 56-59 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Golden Gophers (14-8, 6-5 Big Ten) will host the Michigan State Spartans (14-8, 6-5 Big Ten) on Tuesday night at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. This will be the second meeting between the two teams this season. The Spartans won the first matchup, 76-66, on Jan. 18 in East Lansing. The Gophers are coming off a thrilling 75-66 overtime win over Northwestern on Thursday. Cam Christie, the Big Ten Freshman of the Week, scored 18 points and hit the game-tying three-pointer with 1.4 seconds left in regulation. The Spartans are also riding a two-game winning streak, after beating Maryland, 63-54, as a 6-point favorite on Saturday. Michigan State is 12-9-1 ATS on the season. However, they are just 1-4 S/U and 1-3-1 ATS on the road with a -7.4 point differential. Both teams are fighting for a spot in the NCAA tournament, as they are currently on the bubble. Minnesota is a No. 10 seed and Michigan State is a No. 11 seed as of Monday. The key factors for this game will be the health of Hawkins, who twisted his ankle in the last game, and the officiating, which was controversial in the first meeting. The Gophers will need Hawkins to run their offense and match up with the Spartans' guards. Hawkins is not on the injury report so all looks good for him to play tonight. The game should be a close and competitive one, as both teams are evenly matched and motivated. The Gophers have the home-court advantage and the revenge factor. Considering how the Spartans have played on the road this year, I'll take the Gophers here tonight. Play Minnesota. | |||||||

No doubt this Alabama team can score, but South Carolina has played very good defense and covers a lot of games. I'll take the points with the visitors in this one. Play South Carolina. | |||||||

Log jam at top of the Big West conference as four teams remain unbeaten in conference play. One of those teams is Cal Northridge. The Matadors are 11-3 overall and 2-0 in conference play. They have won six straight games including beating UCLA as a 17-point dog and then last week beating Long Beat State straight-up as a 8-point road dog. Yet, here they are at home against 9-5 (1-1) Hawaii and either getting or giving one point. The Matadors just can't seem to get any respect, even with their big wins. The Hawaii Rainbows snapped a three-game losing streak with a win at Cal Bakersfield on Thursday, 79-67. The Rainbow Warriors are a decent team, but have covered at just a 5-6-1 clip. Northridge has made me a believer and I'll take them to just win this game on Saturday. Play Cal Northridge. | |||||||
01-06-24 | Virginia Tech v. Florida State +1.5 | 74-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |

The Seminoles have won three of their last four games including last time out vs Georgia Tech, 82-71, as a 4-point favorite. Pretty much a pick'em game here betwee these teams. Considering the Hokies have yet to win on the road and the Seminoles are 5-3 at home, I'll take Florida State in this one. | |||||||
01-06-24 | Baylor v. Oklahoma State +4.5 | 75-70 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |
Big 12 clash here on Saturday has Baylor visiting Oklahoma State. The Baylor Bears are 11-2 S/U and 9-3 ATS on the season. The Bear are scoring an average of 89.2 ppg while allowing 69.3 ppg.

Arizona is coming off a loss at Stanford in their last game, 82-100, as a 12-point favorite. In fact, the Cats have lost two of their last three games. Now they have to lay double digits to a very good Colorado team. I'll take those points here tonight. Play Colorado. | |||||||

The Wolverines are only 3-3 S/U and 2-4 ATS at home this year. The Wolverines laying around 6-points here tonight. My own numbers make them closer to three points. I'll take the dog in this one. Play Minnesota. | |||||||

Top Ranked Purdue travels to Maryland to take on the Terps in a Big 10 battle here tonight. The Terps have covered three in a row in this series and eight of the last nine vs Purdue. Purdue is ranked No 1 despite losing one game this year to Northwestern on Dec 1, 88-92. Houston remains undefeated and has a legitimate claim to that top spot. Purdue is 12-1 S/U and 9-3 ATS. They are coming off a win over Eastern Kentucky, 80-53, but failed to cover the 29-point spread. They have played just one true away game this year and that was their loss at Northwestern.

Big West Conference play here on Saturday as Long Beach State welcomes Cal State Northridge. The Northridge Matadors having their best season in many years as they come into this game 10-3 S/U and 10-1 ATS. The Mats have won five straight and covered seven straight games.

I'll take the generous points in this game and won't be surprised by another Northridge shocker. | |||||||
12-30-23 | Indiana State +9 v. Michigan State | 75-87 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
The Indiana State Sycamores off to an excellent start this season at 11-1 S/U and 8-3 ATS. The Sycamores average 88.2 ppg while allowing 70.8 ppg for a +17.3 point margin. They have been good on the road, going 2-1 both S/U and ATS and average 85 ppg and allow 82 ppg. You have to go back to Nov 10 for their one loss at Alabama, 80-102 as a 17-point dog.

12-29-23 | Fairleigh Dickinson +27 v. Illinois | 71-104 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Illinois was dealt a big blow today when guard Terrence Shannon Jr. was suspended and will be out indefinitely. That's a big loss since in 11 games Shannon has averaged 21.7 ppg. The Fighting Illini had been having a very good season to this point with a 9-2 S/U and 6-4-1 record. The Illini had won two straight games since their second loss of the season at Tennessee, 79-86. But now we have to re-evaluate this team and see how they perform without their star guard. The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights are a big dog here tonight at Illinois. They are 6-7 S/U and 5-6 ATS on the season. They have lost two games in a row both S/U and ATS. The Knights have scored though, evidenced by their 81.5 ppg average this season. I'm going to take the big points with a team that has shown they can score. The mental effects of the loss of their guard will have to be seen tonight, but I have to believe it will hurt this Illinois team a lot. Play Fairleigh Dickinson. | |||||||
12-29-23 | McNeese State +10.5 v. Michigan | 87-76 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |

They have also won five straight games since a loss at La Tech, 62-71. Michigan having a slow start as they are just 6-6 S/U and 5-7 ATS. The Wolverines are averaging 83.8 ppg but allowing 78.4 ppg, just a +5.3 scoring advantage. They are surprisingly just 3-2 S/U and 2-3 ATS at home this year. Michigan has also lost four of its last six games and covered just one of the last six. Michigan an elite team in an elite conference, but sometimes the Cinderella teams can jump up and bite the big boys. I'll take a shot with a very good McNeese State team here tonight. | |||||||
12-28-23 | USC v. Oregon -2.5 | Top | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
The USC Trojans travel to Oregon to face the Ducks tonight, not a place they have had much success. The Trojans have won just 2 of their last 12 trips at Oregon. The Trojans are 6-5 S/U this season and 5-6 ATS. They are 1-1 on the road both S/U and ATS. They just snapped a 3-game losing streak with a win over Alabama State, 79-59, as a 18-point favorite. USC could be without a key player tonight in guard Boogie Ellis, who is questionable with a hip injury. Oregon is 8-3 S/U and 6-4-1 ATS on the season. The Ducks have won four of their last five games both S/U and ATS. That includes last game at home over Kent State, 84-70 as a 7-point favorite. The Ducks again are very good at home, posting a 6-0 S/U and 5-1 ATS record this season. Considering their dominance over the Trojans at home and success this year at home, I'll be on the Ducks tonight. | |||||||

I like U Mass in this one. | |||||||
12-22-23 | Maryland +3.5 v. UCLA | 69-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
The Maryland Terrapins head to Westwood to take on the UCLA Bruins tonight. Maryland is 7-4 S/U and brings a three-game win streak into this game. They have also won six of their last seven games. Maryland has lots of experience on this team as they are led by a pair of seniors. They also have a very good turnover rate of 8.3 steals per game. UCLA has struggled this year and that's really because they are not an experienced team with Junior Lazar Stefanovic their only upper classman. UCLA fell to 5-5 on the season and has lost three straight games after a big upset at the hands of Cal Northridge, 72-76, as a 17.5-point favorite. That has to be their low point of this season. Now they face a very good and experienced Maryland team today. Yet they are still laying points. I'll take the points with Maryland and look for a Terps straight-up win. Play Maryland. | |||||||
12-20-23 | IUPU Ft Wayne +14.5 v. Pittsburgh | 48-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |

Their only loss came on the road at San Francisco, 60-76, as a 13.5-point dog. Otherwise they are 3-1 both S/U and ATS away from home and still outscore their hosts by 6.5-ppg. They are coming off a win over Bethune-Cookman, 86-63, as a 12.5-point favorite. This looks to be their biggest test of the season at 8-3 Pittsburgh. The Pitt Panthers have won three straight since a loss to Clemson 70-79. The Panthers have since won three straight games and gone 2-1 vs the spread. They are coming off a win over South Carolina State, 86-50, as a 28-point favorite. Pitt around a 14-point favorite here today. I'll take a shot with the big dog in this one. Play Fort Wayne. | |||||||
12-20-23 | Baylor +3.5 v. Duke | 70-78 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
The Baylor Bears had their perfect record broken with their first loss of the season last game at home to Michigan State, 64-88, as a 3.5-point favorite. The Spartans had also covered six straight games before that spread loss. They have averaged 88.4 ppg while allowing just 69.6 ppg on the season. This will be another neutral site game as this contest will be played at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Bears have played four previous neutral site games and are 3-1 both S/U and ATS. The Duke Blue Devils are 7-3 S/U and 5-5 ATS on the season. They average 81.6 ppg while allowing 66.1 ppg. Duke is coming off a win over Hofstra, 89-68, as a 15-point favorite. Their losses this season have come at Georgia Tech, 68-72, at Arkansas, 75-80, and at home to Arizona, 73-78. This should be a very good game but with Baylor getting a few points I'll take the Bears in this one. Play Baylor. | |||||||

The Bears have won four straight games both S/U and ATS. The Bears defense has been very good, holding opponents close to the 60 point range and three of the last four opponents under 40% shooting. The UCF Golden Knights are 6-3 S/U and 4-5 ATS. They average 78 ppg and allow 67.7 ppg. They are coming off a loss to Ole Miss, 68-70 as a 3.5-point home favorite. They have covered just two of their last six games. Definitely different opponents for these clubs today. However, the Bears should be able to get inside this big line and cover the spread. Play Maine. | |||||||

12-16-23 | West Virginia v. Massachusetts +3 | 79-87 | Win | 100 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
West Virginia visits Springfield MA for this matchup with U Mass here on Saturday. The Mountaineers are just 4-5 S/U and ATS on the season. They snapped a two-game losing streak last game with a win over Drexel, 66-60 as a 5.5-point favorite. This will be the first real road game for West Virginia this season. They have two games on neutral sites and are 0-2 S/U and 1-1 ATS in those games, getting outscored by seven points a game. The U Mass Minutemen are 5-2 S/U and ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over U Mass-Lowell, 91-77, as a 6-point favorite. U Mass is 5-1 S/U and ATS at home this season. This isn't a true home game for U Mass as it's being played at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, MA. Still, close enough for them to get the home edge here today. I was a bit surprised to see WVA laying a couple of points in this one. That goes against my own numbers. I'll take those points with U Mass here today. | |||||||
