02-19-20 | Michigan v. Rutgers -1 | 60-52 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have won two of their last three and looked sharp in a 72-57 triumph over Illinois last time out. They've been dominant at home all season long and are2-0 ATS as a home favorite of 3 points or less or pick and 6-1 ATS when the total is 130 to 139.5 points. Here they'll host a Michigan side that has won five of their last six games overall, but it is only 2-5 on the road on the season and note that the Wolverines are 0-2 ATS as a road underdog of 3 points or less or pick. 8* play on Rutgers. | |||||||
02-19-20 | Syracuse v. Louisville -9.5 | Top | 66-90 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show |
MIDWEEK MADNESS ACC ANNIHILATOR *TOP PLAY* The No. 11 Louisville Cardinals are coming off back-to-back losses, first at Georgia Tech and most recently an embarrassing setback at Clemson. They had reeled off 10 straight triumphs before that and defeated Virginia 80-73 last time out home at KFC Yum! Center to improve to 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 as a home favorite. The Orange have lost four of their last five and took an 80-77 loss at FSU on Saturday. They're 1-5 ATS after allowing 80 points or more and this won't be easy against a Louisville team that averages 77.2 ppg in their own building and ranks 11th in the nation for 3-point shooting home & away combined. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between these two teams and I think the cardinals will put a real beating on Syracuse Wednesday night. 10* play on Louisville Cardinals. | |||||||
02-18-20 | Illinois v. Penn State -6 | 62-56 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 37 m | Show | |
TOP RATED TUESDAY NIGHT NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY The Illinois Fighting Illini have dropped for in a row and covered the number in only one of those games. Last time out they took a 72-57 beating at Rutgers and I fully expect Penn state to rout Illinois in this one. The Nittany Lions are aiming for a ninth consecutive victory, and they've covered the spread in each of the previous eight triumphs. They're 9-4 against the number in front of the home town crowd and 5-1 ATS on Tuesday nights on the season. Additionally, we can note that Illinois' leading scorer Ayo Dosunmu missed the last game with a knee ailment and he is questionable for this contest. 10* play on Penn State. | |||||||
02-16-20 | Villanova -6 v. Temple | Top | 76-56 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP RATED CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The No. 16 Villanova Wildcats look like a solid road favorite in this non-league contest at Temple on Sunday. Nova is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four games, but at least it snapped an 0-3 SU skid with a 72-71 win against Marquette last time out. Getting a break from the Big East schedule could be just what the team needs, and here it'll face an Owls side that might feel a bit too good about itself after winning three of four. I'm not convinced the Owls will be ready for what Nova will throw at them. The Wildcats are 3-0 SU (2-1 ATS) as road favorites on the season and the favorite is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 head-to-head meetings with Temple. 10* play on Villanova. | |||||||
02-15-20 | Gonzaga -15 v. Pepperdine | 89-77 | Loss | -104 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT HARDWOOD HAMMER No team in college basketball is scoring more points than Gonzaga and its 88.5 ppg, and here the Bulldogs will face a Pepperdine team that is allowing 77.4 ppg. Gonzaga put a 90-60 beating on St. Mary's as a 5-point favorite last time out and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 8-2 ATS in its last 10 Saturday games. Pepperdine has covered the spread in only three of 12 home games on the season and it is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 Saturday games. 8* play on Gonzaga. | |||||||
02-15-20 | LSU +2.5 v. Alabama | Top | 82-88 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
LSU @ ALABAMA SATURDAY CBB *TOP PLAY* The Alabama Crimson Tide have dropped four of their last five games after taking a tough overtime loss to Auburn on Wednesday. They've covered the number in only two of their last six and have had trouble stopping opponents from scoring. That does not bode well for this matchup against a dynamic LSU team that bounced back from road losses at Vanderbilt and Auburn with an 82-79 triumph over Missouri last time out. LSU is 3-0 ATS as a road underdog of 3 points or less or a pick'em on the season and 7-1 ATS in such spots over the last three seasons. Additionally, the Tigers put a 90-76 beating on the Tide as a 5.5-point favorite in Baton Rouge earlier this season. 10* play on LSU Tigers. | |||||||
02-15-20 | Texas Tech -3.5 v. Oklahoma State | 70-73 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY CBB BANKROLL BUILDER (1PM ET TIP OFF) The Texas Tech Red Raiders have won three straight games and put an 88-42 beating on TCU last time out. I think they'll put up a decent amount of points in this one as well, while scoring could be an issue for the Oklahoma State with the team averaging only 67 ppg and TTU allowing just 62.8 ppg. The Cowboys have lost seven of their last 10 straight up. They're 3-0 ATS at home on the season and 3-8 ATS against conference opponents. 8* play on Texas Tech. | |||||||
02-13-20 | Thunder v. Pelicans -2 | Top | 123-118 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Oklahoma City Thunder are heading to New Orleans off back-to-back losses. They took a 114-106 home loss to San Antonio last time out and I think they'll struggle to contain a New Orleans team that ranks 4th in the league for points per game. The Pelicans are flying high at the moment, winning three in a row and six of their last eight, covering the spread in each win. They're a phenomenal 19-6-1 against the number in their last 26 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a home favorite. We can also note that this contest will mean a lot for the Pels who have dropped the first three head-to-head matchups with OKC this season. 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. | |||||||
02-13-20 | Wichita State -3 v. UCF | Top | 75-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
NCAAB BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Central Florida Knights are 8-4 SU at home this season but 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. The visiting Wichita State Shockers are 3-3 SU on the road this season but 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Shockers have covered the number in only one of their last eight games overall while winning only three of those eight outright, but I think they should be able to keep a limited UCF offense at bay in this one, particularly after taking an embarrassing 76-43 loss at No. 19 Houston on Sunday. Central Florida on the other hand is in a potential letdown spot following two straight wins (both as favorites). Wichita State won the first meeting of the season 87-79 on Jan 25 and it has won four straight head-to-head matchups with UCF. 10* play on Wichita State Shockers. | |||||||
02-12-20 | Xavier v. Butler -4.5 | 61-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
XAVIER @ BUTLER BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER The No. 20 Butler Bulldogs are just 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games overall, but I think they'll cover the number when hosting the Xavier Musketeers Wednesday night. Xavier has reeled off three straight outright wins as underdogs but this will be a tough one against a well-motivated Butler team looking to bounce back from a near double-digit loss at Marquette. The Bulldogs have an elite defense thank ranks 14th in the nation for points allowed and I don't see Xavier putting up nearly enough points to cover the spread in this one. 8* play on Butler. | |||||||
02-11-20 | North Carolina v. Wake Forest +2 | 57-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
$20 TUESDAY SPECIAL NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have won just two of their last seven games outright, but they're 6-1 against the numbers in those games and 12-4 ATS as an underdog on the season. Here they'll face a North Carolina Tar Heels side that is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite and just spent a lot of of energy in a 98-96 OT loss to No. 7 Duke on Saturday. "Duke's locker room is very happy, and our locker room is crushed." North Carolina coach Roy Williams told reporters after the defeat. 8* play on Wake Forest. | |||||||
02-10-20 | Baylor -5.5 v. Texas | Top | 52-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S BAYLOR @ TEXAS *TOP PLAY* The No. 1 Baylor Bears put a 59-44 beating on the Longhorns in Waco just over a month ago, and I predict another Baylor win at Frank Erwin Center, Austin, TX Monday night. Baylor is holding opponents to 59.0 ppg on the season and Texas has struggled to score for the better part of the season, and even more so in recent games putting up just 58 and 57 points respectively in its last two contests. The Longhorns have dropped five of their last seven, and while Baylor hasn't been at its best in the last two games (2-0 SU, 0-2 ATS) I expect the Bears to come motivated for this one. Bears are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 9-2 ATS away from home on the season. Longhorns are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. 10* play on Baylor. | |||||||
02-10-20 | Nets v. Pacers -7 | 106-105 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
NETS @ PACERS HARDWOOD HAMMER The Indiana Pacers have dropped five on the bounce after taking a 124-117 loss to New Orleans last time out. They've struggled to cover the number in recent weeks, but I think they'll come through here against a Brooklyn side that has covered the spread in five of its last six overall but only two of its last 10 on the road. We can also note that Brooklyn star guard Kyrie Irving has missed the last three games with a knee injury and he has been ruled out for this one. Pacers are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Pacers are 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings in the series. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. | |||||||
02-09-20 | Heat v. Blazers -3 | 109-115 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT HEAT @ BLAZERS BANKROLL BUILDER The Miami Heat own the best home record in the league, but they're not nearly as strong on the road. Here they'll visit a Portland team that has been money against the spread lately, covering in six of its last seven games with the only misstep a blowout loss at Denver. The Blazers should be well up for this one after taking a 122-111 loss at Miami back on Jan. 5. 8* play on Portland. | |||||||
02-09-20 | Ohio State +1.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 57-70 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
OHIO STATE @ WISCONSIN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Wisconsin riding a three-game winning streak. They've held opponents to 59, 59 and 58 points during that stretch and are 10-1 ATS after allowing 60 points or less on the season. As for the Badgers, they've dropped three of their last four after taking a 70-52 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday, They're 1-5 ATS after scoring 60 points or less this season and they've covered the spread in only one of their last seven games overall. The Buckeyes will be well up for this one after dropping a 61-57 decision to the Badgers in Columbus last month, and I expect them to get revenge today. 10* play on Ohio State. | |||||||
02-07-20 | Maryland v. Illinois -3 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
MARYLAND @ ILLINOIS BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* There is a lot at stake in this contest as with both teams at 8-3, the winner of this one will take sole command of the Big Ten conference. No. 21 Illinois took a 72-65 loss against 17th-ranked Iowa on Sunday, its first setback in a month. The Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here. The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won five straight following a 56-51 triumph over Rutgers, but it wasn't pretty and the Terps trailed by five at the half. The Terps won the first meeting 59-58 win Dec. 7, but they're 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record and Illinois should be able to put up an even better fight in its own building. 10* play on Illinois. | |||||||
02-05-20 | Seton Hall -3.5 v. Georgetown | Top | 78-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The No. 13 Seton Hall Pirates are 3-1 SU and ATS as favorites of fewer than five points this season, and I like them to win and cover at Georgetown Wednesday night. We can also note that they'll be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 74-62 home loss as an 8.5-point favorite against Xavier to close out a three-game road trip and that Seton Hall is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 road games following three or more consecutive home games and 7-0 ATS in its last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. As for the Hoyas, they just snapped a three-game SU and ATS skid with a 73-72 upset win at St. John's which sets up a potential let down spot tonight. 10* play on Seton Hall. | |||||||
02-04-20 | Rutgers v. Maryland -7.5 | Top | 51-56 | Loss | -104 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED BIG TEN SIDE *WHITE HOT 11-0 RUN* The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won four on the bounce and seven of their last nine games, including an impressive 82-72 victory against No. 17 Iowa on Thursday. They're 6-2-1 ATS during that nine-game stretch and I think they'll win and cover the line when hosting Rutgers in Big Ten action Tuesday night. The Scarlet Knights took a 69-63 loss to Michigan last time out and while their defense is one of the best in the conference, they'll find it hard to slow down a Maryland team that is humming on all cylinders and has scored 77 points or more in three straight games. The Terps are a perfect 5-0 ATS as a home favorite of fewer than 10 points on the season and I'm counting on them to remain perfect after this contest. 10* play on Maryland Terrapins. | |||||||
02-03-20 | Mavs v. Pacers -4 | Top | 112-103 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED SIDE FOR FEBRUARY The Indiana Pacers are far from their best at the moment. They've dropped two of their last three games and took a 92-85 home loss to the lowly New York Knicks last time out, but I like them to bounce back to win and cover the number when hosting the Dallas Mavericks Monday night. While the Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight-up loss, the Mavs are 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight-up win, which they are following a 123-100 win over Atlanta on Saturday. Indiana is 7-0 ATS as a home favorite of five points or fewer on the season. 10* play on Indiana Pacers. | |||||||
02-02-20 | Bulls v. Raptors -10.5 | Top | 102-129 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED BULLS @ RAPTORS SIDE The Chicago Bulls are 1-4 ATS through their last five games and they travel to Toronto off back-to-back road losses. The Bulls are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog while the Raptors are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games as a home favorite. Toronto is on fire as it will try to push its winning streak to 11 in a row, and I expect a blowout win for the defending-champion Raptors in this one. Chicago does simply not have the firepower to threaten a Toronto team that is elite on the defensive end of the hardwood. 10* play on Toronto Raptors. | |||||||
02-02-20 | Illinois v. Iowa -4.5 | 65-72 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER ~ ILLINOIS @ IOWA We have a big game in the Big Ten this Sunday as the No. 19 Illinois Fighting Illini visit the 18th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. The home team is in desperate need of a win to keep its conference title hopes alive, and I think Hawkeyes will no only win but also cover the spread in the process. They had won five straight prior to an 82-72 loss at No. 15 Maryland last time out, and while Illinois is solid on the defensive end, shutting down an elite Iowa offense won't be easy in front of a crowd that has carried its team to an 8-1-2 ATS record in its last 11 home games. 8* play on Iowa. | |||||||
01-30-20 | Minnesota v. Illinois -4.5 | Top | 51-59 | Win | 100 | 19 h 58 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAB): MIKE'S REG SEASON SIDE *MAJOR WAGER* The Illinois Fighting Illini are coming off back-to-back underdog wins on the road, and now they return home to State Farm Center where they're 11-1 SU on the season. They've failed to cover the spread in two straight games in their own building, but I think the Illini will get the job done here against a Minnesota team that has lost two of its last three, has failed to cover the number in both losses and averaged only 56.6 ppg through those three games. The Gophers are 2-6-1 ATS in their losses on the season while Illinois is 9-4-1 ATS in its victories. As I expect Illinois to win this game outright, I think it's a fair assumption that they'll cover the spread. 10* play on Illinois. | |||||||
01-29-20 | Thunder -2.5 v. Kings | Top | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
TOP RATED NBA PLAY OF THE DAY *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Oklahoma City Thunder are playing some great basketball lately and had won and cover the spread in five straight games prior to a 107-97 loss to Dallas last time out. They're 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, and I like their chances of bouncing back at Golden 1 Center Wednesday night. The Sacramento Kings are coming off back-to-back road wins at Chicago and Minnesota, but this is a tough spot as they return home from a five-game road trip. With the Kings 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games following a road trip of seven or more days and 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 home games overall, I really like OKC to come through for us in this one. 10* play on OKC Thunder. | |||||||
01-29-20 | Indiana v. Penn State -6 | Top | 49-64 | Win | 100 | 18 h 22 m | Show |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NCAAB *MAJOR WAGER* TOP PLAY The No. 23 Penn State Nittany Lions are 10-1 SU at home on the season and 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 home games. Here they'll host an Indiana team that is 1-3 SU and ATS on the road on the season and most likely not in a good mood after taking a home loss to Maryland last time out. The Nittany Lions' offense ranks top 50 in the nation and they are coming off back-to-back underdog wins over Ohio State and Michigan. "I really think we’re starting to play our best basketball heading into February," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers told reporters. "We’re really starting to click and play well." The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five head-to-head meetings and Penn State will be well up for this after losing the last four matchups straight up, including a tough two-point home loss last year. 10* play on Penn State Nittany Lions. | |||||||
01-28-20 | Butler +1 v. Georgetown | Top | 69-64 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER The No. 17 Butler Bulldogs snapped a three-game skid with an 89-85 OT win over Marquette last time out. I think they'll make it two in a row when visiting the Georgetown Hoyas Tuesday night. The Bulldogs are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win and they'll face a Hoyas side that has lost three of its last four and two on the bounce. Georgetown put up just 57 points in a nine-point loss at Xavier last time out and points won't come easy against this Butler team that has held opponents to 59.4 (8th) ppg on the season. Additionally, we can note that the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings and that Butler has won four straight games at Georgetown. 10* play on Butler Bulldogs. | |||||||
01-27-20 | Wisconsin v. Iowa -5.5 | Top | 62-68 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
WISCONSIN @ IOWA BIG 10 BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The No. 19 Iowa Hawkeyes are 11-1 SU at home on the season and they had covered the spread in seven straight home games prior to a push in an 85-80 win over Rutgers last time out. Here they'll host a Wisconsin team that took a 70-51 beating at Purdue Friday night and the Badgers are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. Wisconsin has a top 20 defense in the nation, but I think the team will struggle to slow down an Iowa side that averages 80.2 ppg. 10* play on Iowa Hawkeyes. | |||||||
01-27-20 | Magic v. Heat -4.5 | Top | 92-113 | Win | 100 | 16 h 5 m | Show |
MAGIC @ HEAT SUNSHINE STATE RIVALRY *TOP PLAY* The Miami Heat took a 122-117 loss to the Clippers on Friday. That was their mere second loss in 22 home games on the season, and I expect the Heat to bounce back when hosting the Orland Magic in this Sunshine State rivalry game Monday night. While the Heat will be playing on two days rest (they're 6-1 ATS in their last seven games playing on two days rest), the Magic will be playing the second game of a back-to-back situation after losing to Toronto on Sunday. The Magic are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games playing on no rest and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Additionally, note that Miami is 19-0 SU and 12-6-1 ATS as a home favorite on the season. 10* play on Miami Heat. | |||||||
01-26-20 | Nets v. Knicks -1 | Top | 97-110 | Win | 100 | 17 h 6 m | Show |
NETS @ KNICKS CROSS-BRIDGES RIVALRY *TOP PLAY* The Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak with an OT win at Detroit last time out, but I think they'll come up short here as they head to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks on Sunday. The Knickerbockers have covered the spread in four straight games and they're 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. Brooklyn, on the other hand, is 0-7 ATS in its last seven as a road underdog and we can note that the Knicks have covered the line in eight of the last 10 matchups with the Nets at MSG. 10* play on NY Knicks. | |||||||
01-26-20 | Maryland +1 v. Indiana | 77-76 | Win | 100 | 14 h 13 m | Show | |
MARYLAND @ INDIANA NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Indiana Hoosiers are 12-1 at home on the season but I think they're in for their second loss when hosting the No. 17 Maryland Terrapins on Sunday. The Terps are coming off a solid 77-66 win at Northwestern to move to 4-2 SU and 4-1-1 ATS through their last six games. Indiana has won four of its last five straight-up, but this will be a tough one. Note that Maryland ranks just outside of top 20 in the nation for points allowed and it defeated the Hoosiers 75-59 at home earlier this month. 8* play on Maryland Terrapins. | |||||||
01-25-20 | LSU v. Texas | 69-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
LSU @ TEXAS BIG 12/SEC CHALLENGE The red hot LSU Tigers have won seven in a row, and I think they look good to add to that tally when taking on Texas in the Big 12/SEC Challenge Saturday. The Longhorns are a mess with four losses in their last six games and they took a 97-59 beating at No. 15 West Virginia on Monday. Stopping LSU won't be easy with the team averaging 80.2 ppg on the season and it has scored 80+ points in three straight games. The Longhorns are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games while the Tigers are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games. 8* play on LSU Tigers. | |||||||
01-24-20 | Kings v. Bulls -2 | 98-81 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 47 m | Show | |
KINGS @ BULLS NBA NO BRAINER The reeling Sacramento Kings have lost six consecutive games straight up and they're 0-5-1 ATS during that stretch. They took a 113-106 loss to the Bulls at home on December 2 and I think they'll come up short in this one as well. The Bulls have split their last six games with the losses at Boston, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. They're 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* play on Chicago Bulls. | |||||||
01-23-20 | Mavs -2 v. Blazers | Top | 133-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MAVS @ BLAZERS *BEST BET* ATS The Portland Trail Blazers have been awful against the spread all season and they're 3-12 ATS through their last 15 games. Here they'll host a Dallas Mavericks team looking to bounce back from a 110-107 loss to the LA Clippers last time out. Note that the Mavs are an outstanding 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 road games and 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss. Additionally, they've covered the spread in six of the last seven head-to-head meetings with the Blazers at Portland. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. | |||||||
01-23-20 | Washington v. Utah +1.5 | 66-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
WASHINGTON @ UTAH NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Utah Utes are coming off four consecutive losses, but I think they'll end the draught when hosting the Washington Huskies Thursday night. They return home from a three-game road trip and are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games following three or more consecutive road games. As for the visiting Huskies, they're 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games and have lost their last two away from home straight up, the most recent a 61-58 setback as a 6-point favorite at California on January 11. 8* play on Utah Utes. | |||||||
01-22-20 | Nuggets +8.5 v. Rockets | 105-121 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
NUGGETS @ ROCKETS NBA NO BRAINER The Houston Rockets are 26-16 SU on the season, but they're just 2-5 SU and 1-6 ATS through their last seven games. Their struggles have not surprisingly coincided with a shooting slump for superstar James Harden who is just 9-of-51 from 3-point range over the past four contests. Here the Rockets will face one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, and I don't see how Houston could possibly cover the spread in this one. Sure, the Nuggets are banged up, but they can still put decent talent on the floor. Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Rockets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite. 8* play on Denver Nuggets. | |||||||
01-21-20 | Clippers v. Mavs -1.5 | Top | 110-107 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
CLIPPERS @ MAVS NBA NO BRAINER *TOP PLAY* The LA Clippers are coming off a 133-130 win at New Orleans, but they still failed to cover the spread and are 2-5 ATS through their last five overall. Additionally, the Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight-up win and they'll face a Dallas Mavericks team that will be looking to avenge a 114-99 loss to the Clip Show here at American Airlines Center back in November. The Mavs are 8-3 ATS when avenging a home loss against an opponent this season and I don't think they'll make the home town crowd happy this time around. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. | |||||||
01-20-20 | Kings v. Heat -6 | 113-118 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
KINGS @ HEAT NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER The Miami Heat took a 107-102 loss at San Antonio on Sunday afternoon. They get a chance to bounce back in front of the home town crowd at American Airlines Arena where they're 18-1 SU on the season, and I very much like the home team in this matchup. The visiting Sacramento Kings have allowed an average of 122.8 points per game through a four-game slide (0-3-1 ATS) and the team is 3-8-1 ATS in its last 12 games following a straight up loss. 8* play on Miami Heat. | |||||||
01-16-20 | Cincinnati +4.5 v. Memphis | 49-60 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
THURSDAY NIGHT NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Cincinnati Bearcats and the Memphis Tigers played two close games last season (both Cincy triumph). I think this contest will go down to the wire as well which makes taking the points on the underdog all the more attractive. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four head-to-head meetings and Cincinnati defeated UCF 68-54 on the road last time out. As for Memphis, it took a 65-62 loss as a seven-point favorite over Georgia its last time out at home. 8* play on Cincinnati Bearcats. | |||||||
01-15-20 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 16 h 55 m | Show |
SPURS @ HEAT WEDNESDAY NIGHT NBA *TOP PLAY* The Miami Heat are a splendid 17-1 SU home at American Airlines Arena on the season and 14-4-1 ATS in their last 19 home games. They'll be desperate for a win following back-to-back road losses at Brooklyn and New York, and we can note that the Heat are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss and 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite. As for the visiting San Antonio Spurs, while they've won three of their last four with impressive triumphs over Milwaukee, Boston and Toronto, I think this looks like a letdown spot. They defeated the Raptors as a 4.5-point dog last time out but are 6-21 ATS in their last 27 games following a straight up win. 10* play on Miami Heat. | |||||||
01-14-20 | Jazz -1 v. Nets | Top | 118-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED NBA SIDE FOR JANUARY The red hot Utah Jazz are winners of nine straight and 14 of their last 15 after opening a three-game road trip with a 127-116 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday. They're 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and I like them to come through here in Brooklyn on Tuesday. The Nets picked up a 108-86 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in Kyrie Irving's return from injury on Sunday, but they're still just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. While Irving no doubt will give Brooklyn a boost, I don't see them keeping pace with the Jazz who are 16-6 ATS in the last 22 meetings, including 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Brooklyn. 10* play on Utah Jazz. | |||||||
01-10-20 | Butler v. Providence +2.5 | Top | 70-58 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
BUTLER @ PROVIDENCE BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Providence Friars are on fire with four straight wins and they won outright as a six-point underdog at Marquette on Tuesday. I think they have a great shot at winning this one against a Butler team that routed Creighton last time out, but that contest took place almost a week ago so the team is at risk of coming out sluggish here. Additionally, note that the Friars won all three meetings last season and the home team is is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. 10* play on Providence Friars. | |||||||
01-07-20 | Knicks +13.5 v. Lakers | Top | 87-117 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S KNICKS @ LAKERS ATS MAJOR WAGER The New York Knicks are playing their best basketball of the season at the moment with three wins straight up and a 4-1 ATS record through their last five games. They're 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games, and they're catching the LA Lakers at a good time here with the home team likely to look past the 10-26 Knickerbockers with a competitive conference rival in the 23-13 on deck. The Lakers enter this contest on a five-game winning streak, but they've failed to cover as double-digit favorites in each of their last three games and they're 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. 10* play on NY Knicks. | |||||||
01-07-20 | Providence +6 v. Marquette | Top | 81-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
PROVIDENCE @ MARQUETTE NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Providence Friars have opened Big East play with triumphs over Georgetown and DePaul. I think they'll give the Marquette a scare here as the Golden Eagles are in a sandwich spot, coming off a win over then-10th ranked Villanova and tougher matchups on deck, first at Seton Hall and then at home against Xavier. While Marquette has impressed home at Fiserv Forum, I think this game will be closer than the point spread would suggest. 8* play on Providence. | |||||||
01-06-20 | Georgia State -3 v. Arkansas State | 87-90 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT COLLEGE BASKETBALL BANKROLL BUILDER The Georgia State Panthers took a 74-72 loss at Coastal Carolina as a small road favorite last time out. They're still 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and I like them to cover the spread here at Arkansas St. Monday night. The Red Wolves are coming off back-to-back home losses. While they covered the spread (just barely) against Utah last time out, they were blown out by 21 points by Texas State prior to that. I don't see them keeping pace with a Georgia State team that averages a healthy 78.9 ppg and which 3-point shooting percentage is top 25 in the nation. The favorite is 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings and that's a trend likely to continue. 8* play on Georgia State. | |||||||
01-05-20 | St. John's +8 v. Xavier | 67-75 | Push | 0 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
SUNDAY AFTERNOON NCAAB HARDWOOD HAMMER The St. John's Red Storm are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and won 70-67 as a 12-point underdog at Arizona on December 21. They gave Butler a huge scare in their Big East opener and here they'll face a Xavier team that is just 2-7 ATS through its last 9 home games. The Musketeers fell 68-62 at Villanova in their conference opener, and while I expect them to win this one outright, it won't be an easy matchup against a Storm team that has averaged a healthy 78.2 ppg. 8* play on St. John's Red Storm. | |||||||
01-04-20 | Pistons v. Warriors +3 | Top | 111-104 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED PISTONS @ WARRIORS SIDE The Golden State Warriors are coming off three losses, but they were on a roll during the Christmas period and I like their chances of covering the spread and perhaps even winning outright in this one. The visiting Detroit Pistons are in a tailspin with just one win through their last 10 games. The Pistons have not only lost those games outright, but also covered the spread just twice during that stretch and they're 12-22-1 ATS overall on the season. The Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog while the Pistons are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 road games. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. | |||||||
01-04-20 | Virginia Tech +8 v. Virginia | Top | 39-65 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED AFTERNOON SIDE I'm happy to take the points on the Virginia Tech Hokies when they visit the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday. Virginia has the top rated defense in the nation, but scoring on VT isn't easy either with the team limiting opponents to 61.1 ppg. Virginia has been asked to cover inflated spreads all season long and is a result only 3-9 ATS with only nine covers through its last 10 games. The Hokies must be feeling pretty good about themselves and ready for a road game following four straight home wins. They're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games following three or more consecutive home games and I'm looking for the visitors to keep this relatively close. 10* play on Virginia Tech. | |||||||
01-03-20 | 76ers +4.5 v. Rockets | 108-118 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 56 m | Show | |
76ERS @ ROCKETS FRIDAY NIGHT HARDWOOD HAMMER The Philadelphia 76ers should be highly motivated for this contest as they look to avoid an 0-4 road trip following losses at Orlando, Miami and Indiana. They're 5-2 ATS as underdogs on the season and look good to cover the spread against a Houston side that is 1-3 ATS as a favorite of five points or fewer. Additionally, we can note that the Sixers have covered the spread in four of the last five head-to-head meetings. 8* play on Philadelphia 76ers. | |||||||
01-03-20 | Fairfield v. Niagara +2.5 | 66-75 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
The Niagara Purple Eagles are just 2-9 SU on the season, but they're 1-1 at home with a win as a 9-point underdog over Colgate last time out at Gallagher Center. Tonight they'll host a Fairfield Stags side that is getting a bit too much respect by the bookmakers and the public following back-to-back wins at Oakland and Wagner. The Stags are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite and 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 8* play on Niagara | |||||||
01-02-20 | UCLA v. Washington -9.5 | 66-64 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 41 m | Show | |
UCLA @ WASHINGTON CBB BANKROLL BUILDER I like the Washington Huskies to win and cover the spread here in their conference opener against visiting UCLA Bruins Thursday night. UCLA is 0-4 ATS in its last four games and has lost each of the last three straight up, the most recent as a 16-point favorite against Cal State Fullerton. The Bruins allowed their opponent to shoot 14-of-24 (58%) from 3-point range, and here they'll face a Washington team that is more than capable of lighting it up from behind the arc. Additionally, the Huskies had three straight SU and ATS as favorites before coming up just short in a 75-71 loss as a 2.5-point underdog to Houston last time out. Expect the home team to bounce back with an inspired performance in front of the home town crowd at Alaska Airlines Arena. 8* play on Washington. | |||||||
01-02-20 | Hornets +2 v. Cavs | 109-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
HORNETS @ CAVALIERS HARDWOOD HAMMER The Cleveland Cavaliers are unreliable as favorites, and this looks like a tough spot in their first game back home from a tough three-game road trip with stops at Boston, Minnesota, and Toronto. As for the Charlotte Hornets, they're losers of six straight and they've failed to cover the spread in each of the last five. The Hornets are however 7-3-2 as an underdog of four points or fewer, and while I would not be remotely surprised if they win this one outright, take the points as insurance. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. | |||||||
01-01-20 | South Dakota v. IUPU Ft Wayne | 59-70 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
NEW YEARS DAY NCAAB AFTERNOON ANNIHILATOR The South Dakota Coyotes are coming off back-to-back 75 point performances. Now while they lost those games, I think they'll get the job done in this one as they rank 23rd in the nation with their 48.3 percent shooting from the field and 12th with their shooting from 3-point range. Today they'll face a Purdue Fort Wayne side that took an 89-59 beating as an 18-point dog at Iowa State last time out and a 74-65 loss as a four-point favorite at Indiana-Purdue prior to that. The offense is not clicking at the moment, and I think there's good reason to believe that the Mastodons will struggle to keep pace with the visitors. 8* play on South Dakota. | |||||||
12-31-19 | Temple -2 v. UCF | Top | 62-58 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE FOR DECEMBER The Temple Owls took a tough one-point defeat to Miami-Florida on Dec 17, but they bounced back with a dominant 78-66 triumph over Rider four days later. I like them to pick up another win here against a UFC side that saw a six-game winning streak come to an end with a one-point loss of its own at Oklahoma on Dec 21. The Knights covered the spread, but this won't be an easy matchup against an Owl team that is 10th in the nation in defensive field goal percentage and 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games. 10* play on Temple. | |||||||
12-28-19 | Grizzlies +9 v. Nuggets | Top | 110-119 | Push | 0 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S GRIZZLIES @ NUGGETS BEST BET The Memphis Grizzlies have just 12 wins on the season, but six of those have been picked up over their last 10 games. They defeated the Thunder 110-97 as a 5.5-point road underdog on Boxing Day and I think they'll give the Nuggets a scare here at Pepsi Center on Saturday. The Nuggets have covered the spread in just one of their last six overall and they're 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite while Memphis is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games as a road underdog. 10* play on Memphis Grizzlies. | |||||||
12-27-19 | Suns -2.5 v. Warriors | Top | 96-105 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 46 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT SUNS @ WARRIORS *TOP PLAY* The Phoenix Suns have dropped seven straight games, but I think they'll come into this one rejuvenated after getting three full days off around the holiday. While Phoenix is in a "buy low" spot, we find the Golden State Warriors on the other end of the spectrum coming off three straight wins SU and ATS. Suns are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Warriors are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. | |||||||
12-27-19 | UMass Lowell v. Loyola Maryland -6.5 | 81-93 | Win | 100 | 13 h 12 m | Show | |
FRIDAY NIGHT CBB BOOKIE BLASTER I like the Loyola (MD) Greyhounds to win and cover the spread when hosting the UMass Lowell River Hawks Friday night. UMass Lowell shot a season-worst 31.3 percent from the field in a 74-62 loss at home to Boston last Saturday and rusty shooting might very well be an issue in this one as well. As for Loyola, it cruised to a 72-45 victory against D-III Elizabethtown College last time out and it has averaged 84.8 ppg as a favorite. 8* play on Loyola Maryland. | |||||||
12-26-19 | Wolves v. Kings -4.5 | Top | 105-104 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
WOLVES @ KINGS THURSDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The Sacramento Kings are 0-4 SU and ATS over their last four games, but I like their chances of coming out of the short Christmas break with a win when hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday night. Minnesota has dropped 11 straight games and the team is 1-6-1 ATS in its last 8 games as an underdog. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has missed four straight games and the star center is questionable for this contest. The Kings took a 113-104 home loss to Houston on Dec. 23 but they're 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 2 days rest and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. | |||||||
12-23-19 | Rockets v. Kings +5.5 | 113-104 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 18 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT ROCKETS @ KINGS BANKROLL BUILDER The Sacramento Kings look like a good bet when hosting the Houston Rockets Monday night. While they've covered just one of their last six overall, note that the non-covers were as a favorite and that they're 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog. As for the Houston Rockets, they're consistently overvalued because of their big-name players and just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. 8* play on Sacramento Kings. | |||||||
12-23-19 | Bulls +4.5 v. Magic | Top | 95-103 | Loss | -102 | 20 h 1 m | Show |
TOP RATED BULLS @ MAGIC NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Orlando Magic have been one of the worst teams against the spread this season and they enter this contest as losers of six of their last seven straight up. They've averaged 103 ppg through their last three games and took a 118-103 loss at Portland last time out. Here they'll host a Chicago Bulls team that is coming off back-to-back road wins, most recently a 119-107 win as a 10-point dog at Detroit. The Bulls are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. The Magic meanwhile are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. Under is 16-5 in Magic last 21 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and they rank 27th in the NBA in field-goal percentage. I think their offensive struggles will continue against a Bulls team that is not all that bad defensively. 10* play on Chicago Bulls. | |||||||
12-22-19 | Davidson +3 v. Loyola-Chicago | 59-56 | Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show | |
CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Davidson Wildcats put an 88-52 beating on Coppin St. last time out and they're 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers are coming off five straight victories and they're 4-1 ATS during that stretch. I do however think that Davidson will match up rather well with the home team and I'm happy to take the points on the dog in what should a very close game. 8* play on Davidson. | |||||||
12-21-19 | St. John's +11 v. Arizona | 70-67 | Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show | |
SUPER LATE COLLEGE BASKETBALL ATS MIDNIGHT MASSACRE The No. 17 Arizona Wildcats took an 84-80 loss to Gonzaga last Saturday. While they're expected to bounce back with a win here against St. John's, I think it'll be tighter than the point spread would suggest. The Red Storm are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall with a straight up win as a 4.5-point dog against West Virginia mixed in. St. John's can score with the best in the league, averaging 80.6 ppg and it has topped 80 points six times already. 8* play on St. John's. | |||||||
12-18-19 | Bulls +1 v. Wizards | Top | 110-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
TOP RATED BULLS @ WIZARDS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Washington Wizards defeated the Pistons 133-119 at Detroit on Monday to put an end to an ugly four-game losing streak. With the pressure off, I think they'll come up short against the visiting Chicago Bulls tonight. Note that the Wizards have not played at home since taking a 135-119 loss to the Clippers on Dec. 8 and that they're 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 1 days rest. As for the Chicago Bulls, they've lost more games than they've won lately, but they're 5-1 ATS in their last 6 and a perfect 4-0 in their last 4 away from home. 10* play on Chicago Bulls. | |||||||
12-18-19 | East Tennessee State v. LSU -9.5 | Top | 74-63 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED SIDE *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The LSU Tigers have scored 90+ points in three of their last four games, all wins SU and ATS. The East Tennessee St. Buccaneers on the other hand may have won four of their last five straight up, but they're just 0-4 ATS in lined games during that stretch. LSU has been shooting lights out home at Maravich Assembly Center all season, coming into this contest with a perfect 6-0 SU record and four straight covers ATS. ETSU took a 78-68 loss as a 3.5-point favorite at North Dakota State it's last time out on the road, and I don't see the visitors keeping pace with the home side in what will be a hostile environment. 10* play on LSU Tigers. | |||||||
12-16-19 | Kent State v. Cal-Irvine | 68-74 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Kent State Golden Flashes will clash with the UC Irvine Anteaters in the Sun Bowl Invitational at Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas Monday night. The Anteaters are (6-5), coming off a dominant 120-63 win over Pacific Union, but I would not read too much into that result and the team is still just 6-5 SU on the season. Kent State is 8-1 SU and ranks 44th in the nation with its 79.9 ppg. It put a 92-57 beating on Detroit on Dec. 3, the same Mercy team that defeated UC Irvine by 12 points back in November and while such comparisons never tell the whole story, it's still worth noting. 8* play on Kent State. | |||||||
12-14-19 | Delaware v. Villanova -14 | 70-78 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
DELAWARE VS. VILLANOVA BANKROLL BUILDER The Villanova Wildcats have had a week off since defeating rival Saint Joseph's by 12 points last Saturday. I think they'll be looking to hit the ground running again here when taking on the Delaware Blue Hens in the Never Forget Tribute Classic Saturday afternoon. Delaware had won their first nine games before come up short in a 66-56 loss at George Washington last weekend, but this will be the first time in almost a month it'll enter a game as an underdog. The Blue Hens have played an easy schedule and might not be ready for the intensity and quality Nova will bring into this contest. 8* play on Villanova Wildcats. | |||||||
12-13-19 | Hornets +6.5 v. Bulls | Top | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 17 h 25 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE This looks like an emotional letdown spot for the Chicago Bulls after snapping a three-game skid with a dominant 136-102 win over Atlanta last time out. Tonight they'll face a Charlotte Hornets side that is consistently undervalued against teams in the lower end of the standings, going 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The 9-17 Bulls fit the bill, and we can also note that Chicago is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Charlotte Hornets. | |||||||
12-12-19 | Iowa v. Iowa State -3.5 | 84-68 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
IOWA @ IOWA STATE CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Iowa State Cyclones are coming off an impressive 76-66 win as a 3-point favorite against Seton Hall to improve to 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as a favorite. They get a chance to improve on those numbers here against an Iowa team that won last time out but is just 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games following a straight up win. Additionally, we can note that the Hawkeyes are just 5-17-1 ATS on the road since the start of the 2017 season and considering how well Iowa State has been shooting the ball this season (82.0 ppg, 26th), I don't see how the visitors will be able to keep this close. 8* play on Iowa State. | |||||||
12-10-19 | Louisville v. Texas Tech +7.5 | 57-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
JIMMY V CLASSIC NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The top-ranked Louisville Cardinals are a perfect 9-0 SU on the season, but just 5-4 ATS despite winning eight of their games by double-digits. I think they're asked to cover too many points here against last year's finalist in the NCAA title game, the now unranked Texas Red Raiders. The Red Raiders are coming into this first round of the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden on a three-game losing streak (all as favorites), but that does not seem to worry coach Chris Beard all that much. "We've been in three close one-possession games where a basket or a stop there and our record and our mood feels a lot different ... To me, you stay the course. We could be sitting here with an 8-0 record instead of three losses but we're still the same team. The idea is to get better each game and I think we are doing that." Louisville's stifling defense has held opponents to 57.6 ppg but might find it tough to contain a Texas Tech team that has averaged 79.0 ppg. 8* play on Texas Tech Red Raiders. | |||||||
12-09-19 | Raptors -5 v. Bulls | 93-92 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY Both the Toronto Raptors and the Chicago Bulls will be playing on no rest. I think both teams will suffer from heavy legs and struggle to stop the other side on the break leading to a relatively high-scoring affair. Additionally, the Raptors are coming off three consecutive defeats and the over is 7-2-1 in Raptors last 10 games following a straight up loss while it's 14-4 in Bulls last 18 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings at United Center and I particularly like the Raptors to run up the score as they'll be desperate to put an end to their losing streak. 8* play on Toronto Raptors. | |||||||
12-07-19 | Cincinnati +6 v. Xavier | 66-73 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
CINCINNATI @ XAVIER CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Cincinnati Bearcats are coming off an 82-73 win over Vermont. They had played three straight overtime games prior to that one and I expect this Crosstown Shootout rivalry game with the Xavier Musketeers to go down to the wire as well. Cincinnati played Ohio State relatively close earlier in the season and Xavier has a tendency to play down to the competition. It has failed to cover the spread in three of its last four games and it is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 home games. 8* play on Cincinnati Bearcats. | |||||||
12-06-19 | Warriors v. Bulls -4.5 | 100-98 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 5 m | Show | |
WARRIORS @ BULLS HARDWOOD HAMMER This looks like a tough spot for the Golden State Warriors who have averaged just 92.8 points per game through four straight road losses (1-3 ATS). They'll close out the five-game road swing at Chicago, facing a Bulls team that has managed to put things together lately, covering the spread in three straight games and winning the last two outright. Additionally, note that this is a revenge game for Chicago after dropping a 104-90 decision in Oakland back at the end of November. Warriors are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. 8* play on Chicago Bulls. | |||||||
12-05-19 | Suns +3 v. Pelicans | Top | 139-132 | Win | 100 | 16 h 40 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE The Phoenix Suns will be playing on no rest following a 128-114 loss at Orlando Wednesday night. The Suns are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 in the second game of a back-to-back and I expect them to have enough gas left in the tank to take care of the New Orleans Pelicans who have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six overall. The Suns might have a losing record (9-11), but they have a positive point differential which suggests that better things are to come. This is just a bad matchup for the Pels who have one of the worst defensive efficiency ratings in the league while only four teams score more points per 100 possessions than Phoenix. Additionally, note that the Pelicans are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. | |||||||
12-04-19 | Notre Dame +9.5 v. Maryland | 51-72 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
NOTRE DAME @ MARYLAND BANKROLL BUILDER The Maryland Terrapins are a perfect 8-0 SU on the season after routing Marquette 84-63 in the final of the Orlando Invitational last time out. That sets up a potential hangover spot here against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish who have won six on the bounce after opening the season with a loss at North Carolina. While the Irish came up short against the Tar Heels, they held them to 75 points and are allowing just 61.1 ppg on the season. I think Notre Dame will come into this one well prepared as they've had plenty of time off since they last played and Maryland's motivation for this contest is questionable. 8* play on Notre Dame. | |||||||
12-03-19 | Mavs -4 v. Pelicans | Top | 118-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
MAVS @ PELICANS SIDE *TOP PLAY* The Dallas Mavericks are one of the hottest teams in the league, and they defeated the Lakers in LA last time out to improve to 7-2 SU and ATS on the road. Here they'll face a New Orleans Pelicans team that has fewer wins overall than Dallas has away from home, and it has covered the spread in only one of its last five games. I recognize that this is a potential flat spot for the Mavs after taking down the Lakers, but the Pels will have to play out of their mind to keep this close, which will be tough with no momentum and a banged up roster. Road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. | |||||||
12-03-19 | Michigan +5.5 v. Louisville | Top | 43-58 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
TOP RATED MICHIGAN @ LOUISVILLE CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The No. 5 Michigan Wolverines and the top-ranked Louisville Cardinals will put undefeated 7-0 records on the line at KFC Yum! Center Tuesday night. The Cardinals are a home favorite, but while they're 5-0 SU at home they're just 1-4 against the spread. The Michigan Wolverines are a perfect 4-0 against the spread in their last four games with impressive underdog wins against North Carolina and Gonzaga to claim the Battle 4 Atlantis. Louisville has been favored by double-digits in all games since opening the season as a 6.5-point fav at Miami. I'm not sure it is prepared for the fight Michigan will bring into this game. 10* play on Michigan. | |||||||
12-02-19 | Clemson v. Minnesota -3 | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
CLEMSON @ MINNESOTA CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Minnesota Golden Gophers are 3-1 SU and ATS home at Williams Arena after taking a loss as a 3.5-point favorite against DePaul last time out. Here they'll host a Clemson team that will play its first true road game of the season. The Tigers have covered the spread in six straight games but might find it tough to shake off a tough 73-69 overtime loss to No. 1 Colorado on Tuesday. Minnesota is just 3-4 on the season, but it has played several strong teams and has come through and won most games it was supposed to win. While Clemson has better stats across the board, that is without taking the strength of schedule into account and I expect the Gophers to get it done in their own building. 8* play on Minnesota Golden Gophers. | |||||||
11-29-19 | Iowa v. San Diego State -3 | 73-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
IOWA VS. SAN DIEGO STATE LAS VEGAS INVITATIONAL BOOKIE BLASTER The San Diego State Aztecs were dominant in their 83-52 semi-finals win over Creighton. They were 11-of-18 (61%) from 3-point range and won the battle of the boards 35-20. Here they'll face an Iowa team who might find it hard to recharge the batteries after an upset win over no. 12 TTU. I'm counting on San Diego State to claim the Las Vegas Invitational championship. 8* play on San Diego State. | |||||||
11-29-19 | Temple -3 v. Texas A&M | 65-42 | Win | 100 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
TEMPLE VS. TEXAS A&M ORLANDO INVITATIONAL BANKROLL BUILDER The Temple Owls were undefeated heading into Friday's matchup of the Orlando Invitational. Now they'll need to refocus in order to bounce back from a loss for the first time this season following a seven-point loss to no. 8 Maryland. The Owls still covered the spread for a second straight game, and here they'll face a Texas A&M team that is 0-5 ATS on the season. The Aggies are 3-2 SU, but they have a negative average point differential and have scored only 59.2 ppg. Temple is averaging a healthy 70.8 ppg and should have too much firepower for Texas A&M to keep up with. Additionally, Texas A&M is shorthanded so playing on back-to-back days will be particularly tough for the Aggies. 8* play on Temple Owls. | |||||||

11-28-19 | NC State -1.5 v. Memphis | 78-83 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
NC STATE VS. MEMPHIS BARCLAYS CENTER CLASSIC BOOKIE BLASTER Both the NC State Wolfpack and the Memphis Tigers enter this contest 5-1 SU and 3-3 ATS. I like the Wolfpack to come through with a win here in the Barclays Center Classic Thursday afternoon. NC State opened the season with an OT loss to Georgia Tech but is undefeated since, including a dominant 74-58 win over Little Rock last time out. It has held three straight opponents to 64 points or fewer. Memphis gave up 86 points to Ole Miss last time out and has failed to cover the spread in back-to-back games. Additionally, the Tigers will have to do without their leading scorer and All-American candidate James Wiseman who is suspended. 8* play on NC State. | |||||||
11-27-19 | North Carolina v. Alabama +10 | 76-67 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
NORTH CAROLINA VS. ALABAMA BATTLE 4 ATLANTIS BOOKIE BREAKER The Alabama Crimson Tide look like a solid underdog as they take on the No. 4 North Carolina Tar Heels in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament on Wednesday. North Carolina is a perfect 4-0 on the season, but only 1-3 ATS and it had to battle back from a first-half deficit to beat Elon last time out. This might very well be another game where the Tar Heels just does enough to get the W and if the Tide can only take better care of the ball than they have in their first four games they'll keep this very close. 8* play on Alabama. | |||||||
11-26-19 | Clippers v. Mavs +2.5 | Top | 114-99 | Loss | -101 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE Two of the hottest teams in the Association will battle it out Tuesday night as the Dallas Mavericks host the LA Clippers. Dallas has won five straight SU and ATS and it has scored 137+ points in each of its last three games, including an impressive 137-123 triumph at Houston last time out. The Clippers have also won their last five straight up but had failed to cover the spread in three straight prior to a 134-109 beatdown of New Orleans last time out. I think this game will mean a lot more for the Mavs who will be looking forward to this opportunity to take down an elite team in front of the home town crowd. The Clippers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and despite their 12-5 overall record, they're just 1-4 SU and ATS on the road this season. The Mavs are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and they've covered the spread on four straight occasions when hosting the Clippers. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. | |||||||
11-25-19 | South Carolina State v. Austin Peay -13.5 | 66-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT CBB BANKROLL BUILDER Both the South Carolina State Bulldogs and the Austin Peay Governors are 2-3 on the season, but they're two very different teams despite the identical record. Austin Peay has won big in both games as a favorite and won 81-60 as an 11.5-point favorite over Southeastern Louisiana last time out. Even in their losses the Governors have put a decent amount of points on the board and they average a healthy 73.2 ppg. South Carolina State on the other hand is averaging only 54.3 ppg with 86.3 ppg allowed. Last time out the Bulldogs allowed Vanderbilt to shoot 60.3% from the field in a 97-60 Commodores triumph, and I expect Austin Peay to run away with this game and win comfortably. 8* play on Austin Peay. | |||||||
11-25-19 | Loyola-Chicago -1.5 v. South Florida | Top | 55-66 | Loss | -118 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
EARLY TOP-RATED CAYMAN ISLANDS CLASSIC *TOP PLAY* The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers are coming off back-to-back wins and were 9-for-16 (56.2%) from 3-point range in an 85-62 win over Indiana-Purdue on Wednesday. They've scored 85 points in back-to-back games and I think they'll take care of business here against a South Florida team that had lost two straight including a 17-point loss as a 17-point favorite over Indiana-Purdue, prior to defeating Wofford last time out. The Bulls are averaging only 63.0 ppg and I don't see how they're going to be able to keep up with the Ramblers firepower. 10* play on Loyola-Chicago. | |||||||
11-20-19 | Columbia v. St. John's -9.5 | 63-82 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT COLLEGE BASKETBALL BANKROLL BUILDER I like the St. John's Red Storm to bounce back from a 70-68 home loss as a favorite against Vermont. The Red Storm shot just 34.5% from the field in that contest, but here they'll face a Columbia side that shot an abysmal 28.6% in a loss to Virginia last time out. Now I'm certainly not saying that St. John's defense is anywhere near the Cavs, but it has held opponents to 38.1 FG% on the season and the team has averaged a healthy 84.5 ppg on the offensive end. I don't see Columbia being able to keep up with the home team's scoring. 8* play on St. John's Red Storm. | |||||||
11-19-19 | Texas-Arlington v. Gonzaga -22 | 66-72 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 50 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK The UT Arlington Mavericks have their work cut out for them when they visit the No. 8 Gonzaga Bulldogs Tuesday night. Note that the Bulldogs put a 79-49 beating on Texas A&M last time out to improve to 4-0 SU on the season. They've covered the spread in three straight games, twice as favorites of 29 points or more, and they're 17-6 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. The Mavericks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games and unlikely to be able to hang with the superior Bulldogs. 8* play on Gonzaga. | |||||||
11-19-19 | Fairfield v. Maryland -26 | 55-74 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK The No. 7 Maryland Terrapins are a perfect 3-0 SU on the season and they've covered the spread in back-to-back-to-back games following an 80-50 rout as a 19-point favorite over Oakland. The visiting Fairfield Stags on the other hand have dropped three of their first four games on the season following a demoralizing OT loss at Loyola-Maryland last time out. They are just 6-14 ATS in their last 20 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and I expect Maryland to win by 30+. 8* play on Maryland. | |||||||
11-19-19 | East Tennessee State v. Kansas -14 | 63-75 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK The No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks should have no trouble to take care of business against East Tennessee St. home in Allen Fieldhouse. Note that while the visiting Buccaneers have averaged 76.5 ppg while opening the season 3-0 SU, they're just 1-2 ATS and have not played a team near the caliber of this Jayhawks side. Kansas put up 112 points in a rout of Monmouth-NJ last time out and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game plus 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games. 8* play on Kansas. | |||||||
11-17-19 | Texas-Arlington v. Oregon -16 | Top | 47-67 | Win | 100 | 17 h 22 m | Show |
TOP RATED LATE NIGHT COLLEGE BASKETBALL BAILOUT Oregon is putting its undefeated 3-0 record on the line aginast Texas-Arlington Sunday night, but I don't expect this to be much of a test for the Ducks. They've covered the spread in back-to-back games since coming up just short of the number in their season opener, including a solid 82-74 win over No. 15 Memphis in the Phil Knight Invitational. Here they'll face a Mavericks team that took an 80-73 loss at Nevada last time out in its first road game of the season. Nevada shot just 34.4% from the field in that contest and such shooting won't keep it close here. The Ducks have been money for quite some time dating back to last season, going Ducks are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall and 11-0 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on Oregon Ducks. | |||||||
11-16-19 | Columbia v. Virginia -23.5 | Top | 42-60 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
TOP RATED CBB PLAY OF THE DAY *SUPER EARLY* The Columbia Lions are coming off their first win of the season, but they're not expected to stand much of a chance when visiting the undefeated defending national champions Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday. Virginia has played lockdown defense in its first two games of the season, holding Syracuse and James Madison to 34 points each. With Columbia relying heavy on senior guard Mike Smith (21.3 ppg, 5.3 apg) I don't think the Cavs will have any trouble to cage the Lions. Note that Virginia is 2-0 against the spread despite shooting just 39.3% from the field and a woeful 16% from beyond the arc. I expect them to find their range resulting in better shooting here in their second home game of the season, and the visitors should find it extremely tough to keep up in this one. 10* play on Virginia Cavaliers. | |||||||
11-15-19 | Gonzaga -6 v. Texas A&M | Top | 79-49 | Win | 100 | 17 h 44 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE The No. 8 Gonzaga Bulldogs have opened the season with three home triumphs, winning each by 30+ points. They'll hit the road to take on the Texas A&M Aggies for their first away game of the season Friday night, and I think they'll run the home team out of the building. Texas A&M is a perfect 2-0 SU following victories over Louisiana Monroe and Northwestern St., but they've far from impressed and failed to cover the spread in both. Gonzaga on the other hand has covered point spreads of 29+ points in their last two games and I think the Bulldogs will look forward to facing a "tougher" opponent. Bulldogs are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Bulldogs are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Aggies are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on Gonzaga Bulldogs. | |||||||
11-13-19 | Clippers v. Rockets | Top | 93-102 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED CLIPPERS @ ROCKETS *BEST BET* The Houston Rockets are very much like the LA Clippers 7-3 SU on the season, but unlike the Clippers, they've failed to cover the point spread more often than not though entering this contest at 3-7 ATS. In recent contests, the Rockets have been able to take advantage of a soft schedule to make it four straight victories (3-1 ATS), but they're 0-4 ATS in their last four games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Clippers are a solid 7-3 ATS on the season and coming off a 98-88 victory over the Raptors to make it a 5-0 ATS run. Houston has been constantly overrated because of its big-name duo in James Harden and Russell Westbrook, and while beating up on bottom feeders is easy, we have still to see them do well against a tougher opponent. 10* play on LA Clippers. | |||||||
11-12-19 | Nets v. Jazz -6.5 | 114-119 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 58 m | Show | |
NETS @ JAZZ HARDWOOD HAMMER The Utah Jazz will be playing on no rest following a beatdown of the Warriors last night, but I still think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to take care of business against the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn has struggled on the defensive end all season and has given up 121.7 ppg, turning this into a complete mismatch against the best defensive team in the league. Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Utah. 8* play on Utah Jazz. | |||||||
11-11-19 | Raptors v. Clippers -10.5 | Top | 88-98 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 23 m | Show |
TOP RATED RAPTORS @ CLIPPERS *BEST BET* This is a complete mismatch scheduling-wise. The shorthanded Toronto Raptors (Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka are out) will be playing their third straight road game and on no rest following an upset win against the LA Lakers last night while the Clippers have had three days of rest since defeating Portland. Note that the Clippers are a perfect 7-0 ATS L7 when playing on three or more days rest. This game will be of particular importance for Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard who led the Raptors to the NBA Championship last season, and I don't think he'll show any mercy on his former teammates. Both teams have been money against the spread with identical 6-3 ATS records, but expect a fired up and rested home team to get the job done in this one. 10* play on LA Clippers. | |||||||
11-09-19 | Massachusetts v. Fairfield +3.5 | Top | 62-60 | Win | 100 | 2 h 27 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE 'MAJOR WAGER ALERT* I like the Fairfield Stags to keep it close and maybe even pull off an outright upset against the Massachusetts Minutemen on Saturday. Fairfield is coming off three straight defeats, but they did cover the spread in a four-point loss against Bucknell last time out. They're 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games, and here they'll face a Massachusetts side that is 5-15-1 ATS in its last 21 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 4-14 ATS in their last 18 games of a favorite of three points or more. Additionally, note Massachusetts' awful 47.1 shooting percentage from the charity stripe which could become a big issue at the late stages of a close game, I think we have a good case for the home team in this matchup. 10* play on Fairfield. | |||||||
11-08-19 | NC-Greensboro v. Kansas -15.5 | 62-74 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 41 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK The No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks should be ready to go off here after dropping their season opener to Duke in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden. Here they'll take on a weak NC-Greensboro team home at Allen Fieldhouse, a venue where they're 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. UNC opened the season with an 83-50 rout of crosstown rival North Carolina AT&T, but I don't see them hanging around with a Kansas team off a loss. 8* play on Kansas Jayhawks. | |||||||
11-08-19 | Colorado State v. Duke -23.5 | 55-89 | Win | 100 | 16 h 43 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK The No. 4 Duke Blue Devils opened the season with a win over Kansas in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden. Here they'll face a Colorado State team that is coming off an 11-point win over Denver, but this is obviously a huge step up in competition. Duke seems determined to not let the departures of Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish, and RJ Barrett affect the team. "Coach told us first day, 'Big brother's not here. RJ and Zion are not here. We've gotta be an old-fashioned Duke team.' … We might be ugly, but we're gonna get the W. We're going to be very, very, very aggressive," Duke freshman Cassius Stanley said after the season premiere. I expect them to show no mercy on this Rams team that is 16-39-2 ATS in its last 57 non-conference games. 8* play on Duke Blue Devils. | |||||||
11-08-19 | Eastern Kentucky v. Kentucky -29.5 | 49-91 | Win | 100 | 16 h 40 m | Show | |
CBB 3-PACK The No. 2 Kentucky Wildcats opened the season with a 69-62 victory over No. 1 Michigan State in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden. They have a team packed with talent (as always) and should not slip up here against an Eastern Kentucky side that is coming off a win against Chattanooga. The Colonels are however just 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games while the Wildcats are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games. 8* play on Kentucky Wildcats. | |||||||
11-06-19 | Virginia -3 v. Syracuse | 48-34 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
VIRGINIA @ SYRACUSE CBB BOOKIE BLASTER The No. 11 Virginia Cavaliers are expected to take a step down in quality from the team that won the National Championship last season, but I think they're good enough to get a win and ATS cover at Syracuse Wednesday night. Virginia has lost key pieces like DeAndre Hunter, Ty Jerome, and Kyle Guy who were all drafted in the last NBA Draft, but the same is also true for this Syracuse team which will need to replace four of its top six scorers. Virginia has consistently ranked top-10 in defensive rating in recent seasons, and coach Tony Bennett should have a good enough of a gameplan in mind to outlast Cuse. 8* play on Virginia Cavaliers. | |||||||
11-06-19 | Magic v. Mavs -7 | Top | 106-107 | Loss | -112 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED NBA SIDE The Orlando Magic are winless at Dallas since January 2011 and the Mavericks have covered the spread in four of the last five meetings overall. The Mavs are clearly the better side this season coming into this matchup with a 4-2 record, and they'll also have a big rest advantage with the Magic on the second leg of a back-to-back set while the home team has had two days of rest since its last game. Magic are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Mavs are coming off a 131-111 beatdown of the Cavs at Clevland and are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. | |||||||
11-06-19 | Notre Dame v. North Carolina -10 | 65-76 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
NOTRE DAME @ NORTH CAROLINA BANKROLL BUILDER The North Carolina Tar Heels look like a solid home favorite when they host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Chapel Hill Wednesday night. They enter the season ranked 11th in the nation, and that despite losing their top five scorers from last season. That says a lot of how much depth of talent this team always has, and it'll face a Notre Dame team on the decline after finishing last season with a losing record. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings and that's a trend I like to continue. 8* play on North Carolina Tar Heels. |
