12-31-22 | Pistons +5.5 v. Wolves | 116-104 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
A New Year’s Eve value NBA play lies with the Detroit Pistons. They’ve dropped ten of their last twelve games but their last three they’ve shown boosted play. They let a big lead evaporate in the final three minutes against the Clippers to lose in overtime, defeated Orlando, and played a closer game then the score reflected against the Bulls Friday. Minnesota just concluded a four game road trip and I expect fatigue based on the upper tier level teams they faced in Milwaukee, Miami, Boston, and the Pelicans. | |||||||
12-31-22 | CS-Northridge v. CS-Fullerton -7 | 52-64 | Win | 100 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
Cal State Fullerton is not going to wow you with their offensive scoring capabilities. They rank 301st in the country in scoring at 68.5 points and give up a point less per game in 67. So to be a big favorite it has to be the right matchup. The Titans have been able to boost their scoring average against Cal State Northridge as they scored 81 and 79 in last year’s wins over the Matadors. Take Cal State Fullerton. | |||||||
12-31-22 | California Baptist +4.5 v. Seattle University | 65-71 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 44 m | Show | |
California Baptist is a team that showed promise towards the end of conference play a season ago. With Taran Armstrong back their subpar non-conference play thus far can change in trajectory in-conference. Today is a chance against a Seattle team that was stout a season ago but has taken a hit talent-wise. Take California Baptist plus the points in Seattle’s first conference game of the season. | |||||||
12-30-22 | 76ers v. Pelicans +1.5 | 116-127 | Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
A value angle for me is going against a team after they suffered a loss after a big winning streak. The Philadelphia 76ers saw their eight game winning streak snapped by the Washington Wizards. Prior to that loss the 76ers were on the verge of losing. They had to come back from a twenty plus point deficit against the Clippers and a double digit deficit against the Knicks. Take the Pelicans who may be undermanned but have thrived minus key players and are 15-4 at home. | |||||||
12-30-22 | Pistons v. Bulls -7 | 118-132 | Win | 100 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
The Bulls were at a season low after consecutive losses to the Knicks, and giving up 150 points to the Timberwolves. They’ve now regrouped and won four of their last five games. Look for their success to continue today against a Pistons team they’ve defeated eleven straight times. Additionally, in last year’s two home games they won by fifteen points and a whopping forty-six points. Take the Bulls | |||||||
12-30-22 | Clemson -3.5 v. Tennessee | 14-31 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
Cabe Klubnik is not your ordinary first time starter for Clemson. He has been used throughout the season. A comeback win over Syracuse and played the majority of their win over UNC in the ACC title game. Tennessee will have the offense under Joe Milton to compete against Clemson, but ultimately look for Clemson to wear down the Vols. Take Clemson on the small number | |||||||
12-28-22 | Kansas +2.5 v. Arkansas | 53-55 | Win | 100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Kansas is a team that resurrected this year but we don’t know what could of been. Their early season success was stymied when quarterback Daniels was injured. He will play in today’s bowl game and even though his play is not significantly stellar, his presence raises the level of the entire team. Take Kansas and buy the hook to three if you need to. | |||||||
12-28-22 | Central Florida v. Duke -3 | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
As electric as Central Florida can be they have a tough matchup against Duke. Sophomore quarterback Riley Leonard has been terrific for the Blue Devils and started to blossom further as the season waned down. Seven of his twenty touchdowns came in the final two games. Take Duke to do enough to end their season above .500 at 7-6. | |||||||
12-27-22 | Seton Hall +7.5 v. Marquette | 69-83 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 51 m | Show | |
It’s never easy making a coaching transition after a great run with a smaller college like Shaheen Holloway had last season with St. Peter’s. Seton Hall does not really have anyone that is going to wow you, but they do have experience with three seniors and two juniors. Kadary Richmond has started to blossom in the past couple of games for Seton Hall scoring 28 against Providence and 17 against Xavier. While the Pirates may be 0-2 in Big East play both losses were by four points or less. Take the Pirates to give Marquette their first competitive match on their home floor and challenge the Golden Eagles unblemished 7-0 home record. | |||||||
12-27-22 | Utah State +7 v. Memphis | 10-38 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
The bowl period between December 26th-29th is going to feature a lot of 6-6 teams. There are ones that make you scratch your head in why they did not finish with a better record. Memphis fits that category as the majority of their losses in American conference play were slim. As electric as their scoring drives are they somehow find a way to leave the door open for the opposition. That trait makes Utah State a worthy bet. Take them plus the touchdown. | |||||||
12-27-22 | Georgia Southern v. Buffalo +5 | 21-23 | Win | 100 | 12 h 60 m | Show | |
ATS attraction of a quarterback facing his former team is more of a professional football angle in the NFL. Yet, Tuesday it is an angle for quarterback Kyle Vantrease who played for the Buffalo Bulls for five seasons. The quarterback has had a booming season statistically for Georgia Southern throwing for 3,900 yards and 25 touchdowns. A big issue though is he is turnover prone with fifteen interceptions. Expect two to three turnovers to be enough for the Bulls to close within this number. Take Buffalo. | |||||||
12-26-22 | New Mexico State +3 v. Bowling Green | 24-19 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
After beginning the season losing five of their first six games, New Mexico State closed out the year winning five of their final six games. This occurred once Diego Pavia took over as the Aggies starting quarterback, who is 4-1 as starter for the Aggies. This will be a competitive bowl game against Bowling Green, but look for the Aggies to continue their strong finish to the season. Take the Aggies. | |||||||
12-25-22 | Packers +3.5 v. Dolphins | 26-20 | Win | 100 | 23 h 51 m | Show | |
Look for the Green Bay Packers to make things a little more interesting in their slim postseason chances. Their offense may still not look like prior years, but their defense has limited opponents to twenty points or under in three of four weeks. Miami’s three game slide was all on the road, but puts pressure on their 5-1 home record Sunday. Play the points with the Packers. | |||||||
12-23-22 | Mavs -6.5 v. Rockets | 112-106 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
Tonight a banged up Dallas Mavericks team is back in their home state on the road against the Houston Rockets. For the Rockets tonight will mark their seventh straight home game. What started off as a promising home stand with wins against Milwaukee and Phoenix has quickly spiraled, as they’ve dropped four straight. Look for the short handed Mavericks to hand the Rockets their fifth straight loss, as they cover the number the fourth time in their past five games. Take Dallas. | |||||||
12-23-22 | Wake Forest v. Missouri +2.5 | 27-17 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
6-6 SEC teams have historically done well in bowl games. Missouri will have a big challenge on their hand as Wake Forest has been a featured ACC team for several years with their potent offensive attack. Yet, I think Missouri is looking forward to this bowl game as they needed they won their final two games to get in. The favored number on Wake Forest side is warranted but just look for Missouri to be the better team after the long layoff. Play Missouri. | |||||||
12-22-22 | Spurs v. Pelicans -8.5 | 117-126 | Win | 100 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
Throughout the past few seasons the Pelicans have been a team that is use to players in and out of the lineup. Tonight they will remain without Brandon Ingram and now Zion Williamson who is in the health and safety protocols. Look for the bevy of role players that the Pelicans have to rise to the occasion against a Spurs team that still ranks the worst in the NBA in points per game allowed. Take the Pelicans as they end their four game losing streak. | |||||||
12-22-22 | Western Kentucky -2.5 v. South Carolina | 58-65 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are coming off a lopsided road loss against Louisville in which they were favored by seven points. That was Louisville’s first win of the season and has created a smaller road favored spot for the Hilltoppers today. South Carolina may be 4-0 at home but are a team that will be lucky to win 12-13 games all season. Take the Hilltoppers. | |||||||
12-21-22 | South Alabama v. Western Kentucky +4 | 23-44 | Win | 100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
After the first month of the college football season, South Alabama looked like a Sun Belt top tier level team that could be of the likes of former Top 25 conference representatives in Appalachian State and UL Lafayette. As the season progressed their offense tailed off. Their 10-2 record masks the issues that were evident as they pulled out several close wins. With nearly a month off since they last played look for Western Kentucky to expose the Jaguars and deliver a strong performance. | |||||||
12-21-22 | Mavs -3 v. Wolves | 104-99 | Win | 100 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
Sunday, the Minnesota Timberwolves scored a whopping 150 points against the Chicago Bulls. Twenty four hours later they toppled tonights opponent in the Dallas Mavericks with a strong fourth quarter push. In the performance Dallas shot just forty one percent from the field as several players including star Luka Doncic had an off night. They’ll regroup as the odds suggest for a 3-11 team on the road. | |||||||
12-21-22 | St. John's v. Villanova -5 | 63-78 | Win | 100 | 2 h 31 m | Show | |
St. John’s has impressed record-wise at 11-1, but oddsmakers know of the Johnnies struggles once Big East play begins. The 2019 season they started 11-2 in non-conference, but preceded to lose six of their first seven Big East conference games. Last season as well they were 8-2 in non-conference, and then dropped five of their first seven conference games. Villanova may be adjusting without Jay Wright but matchup well with the Johnnies. Buy the hook and play the home team Wildcats. | |||||||
12-20-22 | Southern Indiana +6 v. IUPU Ft Wayne | 59-83 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
Typically if a team is playing in a back to back spot in college basketball it’s tournament related. That is not the case tonight as Southern Indiana travels to play IPFW after defeating IUPUI yesterday. They’ve won four straight games and can use the energy from yesterday’s performance for a good start against IPFW. Play the points here on the underdog. | |||||||
12-20-22 | USC Upstate v. Kennesaw State -7.5 | 56-65 | Win | 100 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
At times this season Kennesaw State has impressed, which included ending a long road drought in defeating Mercer. Out of all teams in college basketball the Owls are one of the top teams that have a wide disparity of home games versus road. Tonight will actually mark their first home game this season against a division one opponent. This is a big number but look for Kennesaw State’s guard play to excel and lead to a double digit victory. | |||||||
12-19-22 | Magic v. Hawks -8 | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 59 m | Show | |
Thanks to a six-game winning streak the Orlando Magic have went from 5-20 to 11-20. The winning streak is the second best in the NBA behind the Knicks. Yet, tonight Atlanta should have the edge at home as this is already the fourth matchup of the season against the Magic. Before the Magic’s win streak Atlanta easily won the first two matchups by double digits. Expect Atlanta to not be as flat as they were this past Wednesday and to cover as the home favorite. | |||||||
12-18-22 | Bengals -3.5 v. Bucs | 34-23 | Win | 100 | 22 h 32 m | Show | |
One of the toughest spots in the NFL is building off of a showcase victory. The Cincinnati Bengals did so last week after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs the week prior. Now though they have to go on the road against a desperate Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. There will be moments where it looks like the Bucs will end the Bengals five game winning streak, but look for the Bengals to continue to showcase themselves as a legit contender in the end. Grab Cincinnati. | |||||||
12-18-22 | Steelers v. Panthers -2.5 | 24-16 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 7 m | Show | |
Winning suddenly with an interim coach and a completely reshuffled roster is not supposed to happen. Yet, Sam Darnold has looked healthy and has accepted the Panthers run heavy script. With a Buccaneers loss Sunday they would have the tie breaker and division lead if they win Sunday. Grab the Panthers as they build a season high third straight win and defeat the Steelers. | |||||||
12-17-22 | Mavs +8.5 v. Cavs | 99-100 | Win | 100 | 2 h 8 m | Show | |
The Dallas Mavericks had one of their best wins of the season last night against Portland. Now they are resting several players tonight in a back to back spot against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This would seem troublesome considering the Mavericks just lost to the Cavaliers by fifteen points on their home floor. Yet, the Cavaliers home spread has adapted based on just two losses at home. We saw this yesterday with the Pacers narrowly covering an eight point spread. Back Dallas as their reserves keep this within the 8.5. | |||||||
12-16-22 | Blazers v. Mavs -4 | 110-130 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
One of the biggest head scratchers this season is how poor the Mavericks have been ATS. Sooner or later the payoff for bettors will reverse in a big way, as the Mavericks are still a .500 level team at 14-14. Tonight they are getting a cheaper number based on Portland’s stout play since Lillard has returned. Expect a big effort as the Mavericks have lost three of four and are coming off their worst home loss of the season. Back Dallas. | |||||||
12-16-22 | Pacers v. Cavs -8 | 112-118 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
The Cavaliers as Richard Jefferson has stated on ESPN have the look of a top five NBA team. The problem is they have fought the inconsistencies of a team implementing new players. After their big fifteen point victory on the road against Dallas, that may be the staple game to push them forward. With how strong they have been at home tonight is a great spot to back the Cave. Take Cleveland. | |||||||
12-16-22 | Florida Gulf Coast v. St Bonaventure -3 | 71-58 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Without a doubt there was not a mid-major team more gutted by the transfer portal than St. Bonaventure, as they lost all five starters and four to the portal. It’s led to disarray from oddsmakers who have been wildly off every game the Bonnies have played this season. While Florida Gulf Coast may have the veteran roster, the Bonnies answer their runs and improve to 6-0 at home. | |||||||
12-16-22 | Bethune-Cookman +1.5 v. Incarnate Word | 65-77 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
Bethune Cookman is winless on the road this season at 0-4, yet are just a 1.5 point underdog today against Incarnate Ward. This likely has to do with the fact that Incarnate Ward is a team that is more on their level than road games this season against Iowa and Indiana. Look for Bethune Cookman to get their first road win as Incarnate Ward comes in having lost three of their past four. | |||||||
12-15-22 | Seattle University v. Oregon State +2 | 58-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
Taking away Oregon State’s first three games that were victorious this year, they have lost 24 of their past 25 games. This season alone they have dropped six of their past seven games. Bettors have recognized this as today’s line has shifted in favor of Seattle. Yet, the Beavers have been a different team at home this year where they are 4-1. They’ll have the defense to force Cameron Tyson into tough shots as they cover the small number. | |||||||
12-15-22 | Cal-Irvine +2.5 v. Santa Clara | 74-86 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
UC Irvine has a big win on the season over Oregon, and came close to knocking off San Diego State. Tonight they’ll find themselves as small underdogs on the road against another quality smaller California school in Santa Clara. The Broncos may have the better starting five, but from a depth stand point that upper hand goes to the Anteaters. Santa Clara has also had a string of close games, with three of their past four wins coming by four points or less. Grab the underdog. | |||||||
12-13-22 | Furman +6.5 v. NC State | 73-92 | Loss | -108 | 2 h 28 m | Show | |
Furman is not the same caliber team they’ve been in recent years, but they still have two fifth year seniors in guard Mike Bothwell and forward Jalen Slawson. A trait that has stuck with Furman over the years is their ability to play to the level of Power Five competition. Last year they defeated Louisville and lost by just three to Mississippi State. The year prior they lost just by three points to Alabama, and took Auburn to overtime three seasons ago. They’ll continue to play within the number and keep it close on the road at NC State. | |||||||
12-11-22 | Panthers +4 v. Seahawks | 30-24 | Win | 100 | 1 h 20 m | Show | |
Seattle still has momentum offensively but it has been waning. Traction to their favored side has teetered. Even with their playoff hopes clinging against a bottom level NFL team, there is value to bet against the Seahawks. Carolina has played inspired football under their interim coach Wilks, and has the checks and balances of safe football with Sam Darnold. Play the points with Carolina. | |||||||
12-11-22 | Vikings v. Lions -2 | 23-34 | Win | 100 | 18 h 22 m | Show | |
Throughout their down years the Detroit Lions have had a knack of playing solid football in the division against the Minnesota Vikings. Looking back at their week three loss they had the game in hand before a fourth quarter melt down. Yet, they have grown from a string of close losses early in the season and won four of their past five. They are correctly favored against the 10-2 Vikings. Play Detroit. | |||||||
12-10-22 | Samford +3 v. UL - Lafayette | 58-75 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 9 m | Show | |
A team that has had reverse fortune to their young season has been Samford. They began the year 6-0, and now have stumbled with four straight losses. One of the losses was to a non division one school in Tennessee Southern. A positive and big take away is all four of the Bulldogs losses have been by five points or less, and three of the four by three points or less. They’ll keep it within range here on the road against a team they matchup well with in UL Lafayette. Play Samford. | |||||||
12-10-22 | Nevada v. Oregon -8 | 65-78 | Win | 100 | 1 h 9 m | Show | |
Competitive games in non-conference play against smaller schools are noteworthy to spotlight ATS. Nevada had to fight for the full forty minutes in their victory over Pepperdine, prevailing with a late push. At 8-2, look for a letdown road spot today against an Oregon team hungry for a showcase game. Lay it with Oregon | |||||||
12-10-22 | Mercer +6 v. Florida Gulf Coast | 62-67 | Win | 100 | 1 h 9 m | Show | |
After a string of five straight victories by eight points or more Florida Gulf Coast lost by thirty-two points against Florida Atlantic. The road loss was their worst of the year even surpassing their thirty one point loss against Tennessee. Unlike their loss against Tennessee that sparked their win streak, this loss has made them a vulnerable team. Mercer has the team to compete with Florida Gulf Coast and keep this within the number of six points. Play Mercer. | |||||||
12-08-22 | Colorado State +4.5 v. Colorado | 65-93 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
On Colorado’s resume are two big wins over Texas A&M and Tennessee but they’ve lost consecutive games against Pac-12 conference mates in Arizona State and Washington. Regrouping against in-state school Colorado State will not be an easy task. Look for a much more heightened effort from the Rams after they took the smaller in-state school in Northern Colorado lightly in their last outing. Play the points here with Colorado State. | |||||||
12-08-22 | Iowa State v. Iowa -3.5 | 56-75 | Win | 100 | 3 h 22 m | Show | |
Some nights a team just does not have it. On Tuesday the Hawkeyes were flat for the majority of forty minutes against a Duke team that took advantage of the big stage at Madison Square Garden. In less than forty eight hours since the Hawkeyes must regroup to take on an Iowa State team that embarrassed them a season ago 73 to 53. This should be a completely different level of display from the Hawkeyes against a Cylclones team that may be a tad bit over rated thanks to wins over a now unranked North Carolina and Villanova teams. | |||||||
12-08-22 | UMass Lowell +3 v. Massachusetts | 85-80 | Win | 100 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
A theme throughout college basketball thus far has been revenge spots off of a loss last season in non-conference. It’s happened continuously as profiled on the Early Edge, and has another opportune spot to happen tonight. Last season UMass Lowell lost against the bigger school in UMass by eleven points. New Coach Frank Martin has refreshed UMass and has them off to a 7-1 record, but UMass Lowell has the interior game with Allin Blunt and guard play to cover. Take UMass Lowell. | |||||||
12-07-22 | Hawks +2 v. Knicks | 89-113 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
The best medicine for team turmoil surrounding the Atlanta Hawks star player Trae Young is a visit to Madison Square Garden. His had several spotlighted performances there and his teammates have an ability to feed off that energy. This occurred earlier this season when the Hawks erased a twenty-three point deficit to comeback and defeat the Knicks at Madison Square Garden by thirteen points. Tail the Hawks to complete the road series sweep against the Knicks. | |||||||
12-07-22 | Loyola Maryland v. Hampton +2 | 61-65 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
Hampton boosted their home record to 2-0 with a pull away victory over Howard. Once again they find themselves as a small home underdog to Loyola Maryland because of two reasons. One they are just 2-6 on the season and last year Loyola Maryland defeated Hampton by thirteen points. Yet and experienced team and a bit better offense is at hand for Hampton. Tail the home underdog as they get revenge from last year’s defeat. | |||||||
12-07-22 | Michigan State v. Penn State -4 | 67-58 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 21 m | Show | |
We’ve seen several top teams falter out of the rankings with Gonzaga and North Carolina. Michigan State is another team that has faltered with a string of losses. Although they’ve had rest on their side and a scouting report edge tonight against Penn State, I still don’t see them turning it around on the road. Tail Penn State as they hand Izzo’s squad another loss. | |||||||
12-05-22 | Saints +3 v. Bucs | 16-17 | Win | 105 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |
Late add on MNF’s action with the Saints. The Saints prime time woes tied with Andy Dalton are well known. The division as a whole has been a mess and that has created value to go against Tampa Bay and Brady tonight. For all the success Tom has had this is a different level of a team for Brady to try and dig out of a hole. They’ll still have a great chance to win the division with a subpar record but look for the Saints to be competitive on the big stage. Play the points. | |||||||
12-04-22 | Steelers v. Falcons | 19-16 | Win | 100 | 19 h 47 m | Show | |
It’s evident that the Falcons have missed out on several golden opportunities to win close games. They may have five wins but they are beginning to look like a team that may stumble as we enter December. This is also the point in time where the coaching staff may want to assess their rookie quarterback in Desmond Ridder. This very well could be Marcus Mariotta’s last chance to show his value into next season for the Falcons. Look for that pressure to be to much as the Steelers prevail again. | |||||||
12-04-22 | Jets +3 v. Vikings | 22-27 | Loss | -114 | 19 h 46 m | Show | |
The New York Jets had no issue with their quarterback change in last week’s home rout over the Bears. But that was a Bears team playing their backup quarterback and a home game for the Jets. Can they produce on the road and show that they can be a true caliber playoff team. I believe so as the Vikings were more fortunate than dominant in their win against the Patriots. Take the Jets in a close one. | |||||||
12-03-22 | UNLV v. San Diego +4 | 95-78 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
Unranked unbeaten teams into December in college basketball are red flagged for a reason. UNLV has improved immensely but has been prone to offensive droughts. San Diego is the type of team that can match UNLV’s defense, and has enough offensive skillset players to hand UNLV their first loss tonight. Take the points though as Coach Lavin has his Toreros ready for a great game. | |||||||
12-03-22 | Utah Tech v. Weber State -3 | 77-65 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 34 m | Show | |
Expect a flat road spot tonight for Utah Tech as they travel in-state to face Weber State. The Trailblazers exceeded expectations in their last game against Utah State, battling to a five point loss. Weber State is not the same caliber team of last season’s that started 8-0, but can lean on the experience of last year’s 87 to 70 victory over Utah Tech. Take the small home favorite here in Weber State. | |||||||
12-03-22 | Southern Utah -4.5 v. Idaho State | 69-59 | Win | 100 | 3 h 34 m | Show | |
A conference as a whole that has vastly under performed thus far this season has been the Big Sky. With most teams at or below .500 now is an opportune buy low spot for several Big Sky teams including Southern Utah. Their opponent tonight in Idaho State has five losses by four points or less, including one against BYU. Look for that to change tonight as Southern Utah puts forth a great road effort. | |||||||
12-03-22 | West Virginia v. Xavier -2.5 | 74-84 | Win | 100 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
There are teams early in the season that have multiple losses that are respectable. Xavier fits that mold as all three of their losses have come against current or former top ten teams in Duke, Gonzaga, and Indiana. West Virginia will certainly be another high end challenge but look for Coach Miller and Xavier to find a way at home. | |||||||
12-02-22 | Illinois v. Maryland -1.5 | 66-71 | Win | 100 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
A Big Ten battle that will take center stage on the night slate for college basketball is Illinois and Maryland. Illinois may have the big stage attention in college basketball with their early season schedule, but Maryland is ready to pose a shockwave of their own tonight. They are 7-0, and and took down Illinois by sixteen points at home last season. Play the Terrapins. | |||||||
12-02-22 | Kennesaw State +3.5 v. Mercer | 66-63 | Win | 100 | 1 h 6 m | Show | |
Expect a seesaw affair in tonight’s matchup between Kennesaw State and Mercer. On the year six of Mercer’s eight games have been decided by single digits. The pressure is also on the Bears to bounce back from a ten point home loss in their last outing against Towson. With this being an in-state small school matchup expect a competitive tight game. Take the points with Kennesaw State in what was a matchup decided by two points last season. | |||||||
12-01-22 | Pacific +6.5 v. UC-Davis | 74-72 | Win | 100 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
A team that has underperformed at home versus on the road has been Pacific. They have dropped four straight games at home all by four points or less. Now the script as a favorite has flipped as they travel on the road to face UC Davis. Expect Pacific to remain competitive as they have and to possibly win outright. Play the points. | |||||||
12-01-22 | Cornell v. Delaware -4.5 | 74-67 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
Cornell is a two point loss away against Boston College from having an undefeated record. Since that performance they have went on to win five straight games, including an eighteen point road victory against Monmouth. Yet, today’s opponent in Delaware should challenge them with upgraded skill level on the defensive end of the floor. Grab the Blue Hens on their home floor. | |||||||
12-01-22 | Creighton v. Texas -6.5 | 67-72 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
Texas has the explosiveness on both ends of the floor to put a clinic on against Creighton. Creighton caught attention in their tournament action a week ago but will have a hard time going up and down the floor against Texas. Lay the points here with the Longhorns. | |||||||
11-28-22 | Seattle University +5.5 v. Washington | 66-77 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
Seattle University may have the best kept secret in college basketball with guard Cameron Tyson. Tyson is one of the top scorers in college basketball averaging twenty eight points per game. This is a marquee game for Seattle to play the big school in the state of Washington. Take the points with the Red Hawks after Washington’s shocking outright win over St. Mary’s. | |||||||
11-28-22 | Longwood +4 v. San Diego | 68-71 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
The Longwood Lancers will make the road journey tonight to face San Diego. The Toreros are coming off consecutive losses in Las Vegas against New Mexico State and Nicholls. That has dropped the spread value to a favorable situational spot for Longwood. Although they are 0-2 on the road they have deep experience to keep this game close. Take Longwood. | |||||||
11-28-22 | SE Missouri State +2.5 v. Wisc-Milwaukee | 68-84 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 56 m | Show | |
Non conference- tournament action can lead to a false perception on a teams true identity. Milwaukee has surpassed expectations with recent wins over UC Davis and a blowout win over Boston. They also bolstered their resume with non-conference competition against Purdue and Iowa State. Look for recent tournament action to lead to rusty play from the home team Milwaukee tonight. Play Southeast Missouri. | |||||||
11-27-22 | Raiders +4 v. Seahawks | 40-34 | Win | 100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Post bye week is an opportunity for the Seahawks to keep their first half of the season momentum rolling. Problem is after the bye week can often times derail a team just a tad. The Vegas Raiders are not a conventional 3-7 team as they squandered opportunities all season long in winnable games including the Cardinals, Chiefs, Titans, and more. Take the Raiders plus the points. | |||||||
11-27-22 | Bengals -1 v. Titans | 20-16 | Win | 100 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
The Tennessee Titans brand of football is rare this day and age in the NFL. Both sides of the football they can lean on to execute for two halves. Yet, they have not been challenged to score in volume in a long time. Look for the Bengals to crack through offensively and spur a road victory at Tennessee. Play the ML. | |||||||
11-26-22 | Washington v. Washington State +2.5 | 51-33 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Washington State has had a solid campaign under new quarterback Cameron Ward, but has yet to defeat any Pac-12 teams with a winning record this year. Tonight will be their final and best opportunity against 13th ranked Washington. The Huskies have been involved in close games all throughout conference play before last week’s eruption and forty-seven point win agains Colorado. Look for their knack of playing to the level of competition to occur again Saturday night. Take Washington State. | |||||||
11-26-22 | Southern Utah v. CS Sacramento +5.5 | 91-87 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Sacramento State has been absolutely torched their past couple of games against UC Davis and Hawaii. Both games quickly turned in a matter of minutes which show how vulnerable Sacramento State is defensively. Yet, Southern Utah is lacking that spurt ability on the offensive end of the floor. Grab Sacramento State to establish a lead and hang on to cover on the number. | |||||||
11-26-22 | East Carolina v. Old Dominion -4 | 50-71 | Win | 100 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
East Carolina is one of the strangest teams in college basketball from an ATS stand point. They continue to be underdogs but have past the test with several outright wins. At 5-1 they now travel for a non neutral site game to face Old Dominion. This is also a smaller point spread. The Pirates play well again but lose at the end with Old Dominion making the necessary free throws. | |||||||
11-26-22 | Montana State -3 v. Quinnipiac | 53-70 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
Undefeated early in a college basketball season does have merit but also creates ATS value against. Quinnipiac is 6-0 with wins over Rhode Island and a resounding win over Stephen F Austin. Yet, Montana State can also play a grind it out style of basketball with limited possessions. They’ve underachieved to begin the season and should have the fire power to end Quinnipiac’s undefeated start. Take Montana State. | |||||||
11-26-22 | Southern Miss -3 v. UL-Monroe | 20-10 | Win | 100 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
Southern Miss is another college football team that has had to deal with a plethora of different quarterbacks to start this season. Starting Trey Lowe at quarterback the last three weeks has resulted in a 5-3 season reversing for three straight losses to 5-6. Yet, today is their last opportunity to become bowl eligible. Look for the Golden Eagles who have been in striking distance in their last two losses, to pull through with bowl eligibility on the line. Take Southern Miss over UL Monroe. | |||||||
11-25-22 | Southern Utah -2.5 v. Texas State | 65-78 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
A late game that should be entertaining is Texas State vs Southern Utah. Texas State has knocked down two opponents in California and Rhode Island that have boosted their ATS ground. Yet, look for Southern Utah to be their match as they play solid team basketball. This is one that should be a pull away spot for Southern Utah. | |||||||
11-25-22 | Butler +1.5 v. NC State | 61-76 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 9 m | Show | |
One bad half of basketball downgraded the Butler Bulldogs. They held their own for one half against Tennessee and absolutely fell apart in the second half en route to a complete beat down. Yet, they are a team that should get better as the season extends. Facing NC State should be a close neck and neck game but I like Butler’s tenacity and guard play to elevate them. Take Butler. | |||||||
11-25-22 | Mercer v. Robert Morris +7 | 72-66 | Win | 100 | 1 h 10 m | Show | |
Mercer has three losses on the season but could very well be undefeated. They let a big lead falter against East Carolina, lost to Georgia State in overtime, and could not pull through against Florida State. Sometimes certain teams are in a bad spot post holiday and this is a letdown spot for Mercer. Tail Robert Morris plus the points. | |||||||
11-25-22 | 76ers v. Magic -1.5 | 107-99 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
Friday the NBA is back in action with a full slate. The Philadelphia 76ers toppled the Brooklyn Nets a few nights ago as home underdogs of eight points. Yet, the following night they lost to the Hornets and now will face another team that is near the bottom of the NBA in the Magic. Even with a holiday day off look for the Magic to have enough offense to take down the short handed 76ers. Take Orlando. | |||||||
11-21-22 | Weber State +3 v. Cal-Riverside | 65-72 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
A neutral site game played just off the strip will take place in Las Vegas tonight between UC Riverside and Weber State. Weber State is off to a rough start but have not had the opportunity to face a division one school on their level yet. Look for the Wildcats to settle in the second half as they aim for their first win over a division one school this season. Take the small underdog here in Weber State. | |||||||
11-21-22 | Ohio State v. San Diego State -4.5 | 77-88 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
Early season ranked teams from the West Coast are under valued because of their late start times. San Diego State has a golden opportunity with a spotlight showcase today against Ohio State. The Aztecs have focused on pushing the basketball and have improved vastly from a team that averaged just sixty five points per game. Additionally, their top player in Matt Bradley has yet to get going as he has averaged just seven points. He will turn it around today, as San Diego State’s team basketball pushes past the Buckeyes. | |||||||
11-21-22 | Georgia Tech v. Utah -4.5 | 64-68 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
Georgia Tech will have their first true test Monday against a power five school. At 3-0, they have had a subpar schedule out the gate with victories over Georgia State, Northern Illinois, and a non-division one school in Clayton. Look for Utah’s size and better execution in half court to be the difference. Take the Utes in a bounce back spot after losing to Sam Houston as a double-digit favorite. | |||||||
11-20-22 | Lions +3 v. Giants | 31-18 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Sunday I’ll recommend the small number on the Detroit Lions. Detroit’s won consecutive games and are a much better team than their record shows. We are already starting to see teams that have had great records hit a bit of a pre December wall. The Giants have been fortunate to have a generous schedule yet have not seen their spreads rise. Take Detroit plus the points. | |||||||
11-19-22 | Florida Atlantic -5 v. Middle Tennessee State | 21-49 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 16 m | Show | |
Both Middle Tennessee State and Florida Atlantic are a win away from becoming bowl eligible. The Owls are coming off getting their first road win of the season defeating Florida International, 52 to 7. The all around performance on both sides of the football should lead to an early hot start from FAU. Middle Tennessee State will get back in the game but look for FAU to hang on and cover ATS. | |||||||
11-19-22 | Miami-FL v. Clemson -18.5 | 10-40 | Win | 100 | 1 h 16 m | Show | |
A close victory over Georgia Tech was not indicative of the final score for Miami, as they pulled away late for a cruising double digit victory. From an offensive standpoint the passing game will have major lapses. Although Clemson has struggled to cover double digit spreads this season, today will be an opportunity where special teams and defense can be an extra catalyst for the Tigers. Take Clemson | |||||||
11-19-22 | Houston v. East Carolina -6 | 42-3 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 19 m | Show | |
Houston’s juggernaut offense has excelled in American Conference play as they have won four of five games, and averaged forty-four points. For as much offense the Cougars have displayed they are also giving up an exorbitant amount of points defensively. East Carolina has the athletes and an experienced quarterback to score at a rapid rate. This is also their last home game for seniors including quarterback and fan favorite Holton Ahlers. Take the Pirates. | |||||||
11-19-22 | TCU v. Baylor +2.5 | 29-28 | Win | 100 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
Last week the Baylor Bears were flat out unprepared and could not stop the Kansas State offense. An embarrassing loss would seem like another bad spot for the Bears against undefeated TCU. Yet, I expect Baylor’s home crowd and the will to want to give TCU their first loss of the season to carry Baylor. Grab them plus the points. | |||||||
11-18-22 | DePaul v. Santa Clara +2.5 | 61-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
With several neutral site tournaments there is value to be had on small schools. Santa Clara will take on DePaul later this evening as slight underdogs. DePaul already has notched a power five win over Minnesota but will face a Santa Clara team that will challenge them on the defensive end of the floor. The Broncos have an under the radar transfer in Parker Braun and a big time scorer in Brandin Podziemski that is averaging 25 points per game. Take Santa Clara. | |||||||
11-18-22 | Suns -1 v. Jazz | 133-134 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 44 m | Show | |
An ATS boomerang of value lies with the Phoenix Suns. Down a couple players the Suns have had their issues as of late especially on the road. They lost at Orlando and Miami their prior two road games, but the Jazz have also stumbled with a recent loss against the Knicks. Jordan Clarkson is also in a mega slump. Back the undermanned Suns as a small favorite. | |||||||
11-18-22 | Nevada v. Texas-Arlington +5.5 | 62-43 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
A team that endured a plethora of injuries last season with players in and out of the lineup was Nevada. To start this year they have come out the gate 3-0. UT Arlington’s weak schedule has seen them defeat two non division one schools. Sometimes that type of tune up can prepare you better for higher level competition. At home look for the Mavericks to keep this close to cover the spread. | |||||||
11-18-22 | Florida v. Florida State +7.5 | 76-67 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
Starting off 0-3 has cast a shadow of embarrassment on Leonard Hamilton and his Florida State Seminoles squad. Yet, it is early in the season and I expect the Seminoles to regroup and put forth a better effort today against Florida. This is an over reaction spot spread wise. Take the points with the Seminoles. | |||||||
11-18-22 | Troy State v. St. Thomas +5 | 76-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
An aggressive point spread rise Thursday that proved correct was on Troy. From start to finish they had no issues defeating Merrimack and won by nineteen points. They also have a road victory over Florida State. Yet playing in consecutive days is tough for any team and St. Thomas will want to respond after an embarrassing showcase yesterday against Montana. Play the underdog. | |||||||
11-18-22 | Oklahoma State -5.5 v. UCF | 56-60 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 7 m | Show | |
A poor loss early in non-conference can actually create immediate value ATS. Oklahoma State did go down 61 to 60 against Southern Illinois, but quickly regrouped to blowout Oakland 91 to 62. Their balance especially at the guard position will be tough for Central Florida to contain. Look for a solid contribution off the bench from former Texas State guard Caleb Asberry to spark the Cowboys. Lay it -6. | |||||||
11-17-22 | Pistons +9.5 v. Clippers | 91-96 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
The LA Clippers have caught the betting public’s attention thanks to a 6-2 run ATS. Yet, Thursday night is their biggest favored spread on the season against the Detroit Pistons. With the Pistons down Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart combined with the Pistons 0-7 record, the spread is a tad bit high. Take Detroit to sneak within the number. | |||||||
11-17-22 | Nets +2.5 v. Blazers | 109-107 | Win | 100 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
The Brooklyn Nets lost by double-digits to one of the worst teams in the NBA in the Lakers, and followed that up with a 32 point loss to the Sacramento Kings. Needless to say their west coast road trip has spiraled in the wrong direction. Tonight, they’ll have a chance to regain some confidence before heading back home against Memphis. Take the Nets plus the points with Portland in a back to back spot. | |||||||
11-17-22 | Hofstra v. San Jose State +3 | 85-76 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 1 m | Show | |
Traveling across the country is not an easy task for any school. Hofstra has been great ATS including a big home win against Iona. Yet, San Jose State has created a bit of a radar blotch on themselves as well. They are 3-0 and have shown to be one of the most improved teams in college basketball. Look for their early season magic to continue. Play the home underdog | |||||||
11-15-22 | Ohio v. Ball State +4 | 32-18 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
Ohio once again finds themselves as a small favorite in Tuesday Mac-tion. The Bobcats are on a five game winning streak in which they have defeated every opponent by seven points or more. Today’s spot is tricky though for the Bobcats against a Ball State team that has a knack for keeping games close. Take the home underdog to threaten to end Ohio’s win streak. | |||||||
11-14-22 | Alabama A&M +9 v. Tennessee State | 76-87 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
Out in the SWAC I’ll do a late add with Alabama A&M. The Bulldogs were competitive against a North Alabama team that was better than their record indicated a season ago. The SWAC is also an underrated conference for it’s skill level especially on the offensive end of the floor. Tennessee State prevails but Alabama A&M gets the cover as an underdog. | |||||||
11-13-22 | Chargers +7.5 v. 49ers | 16-22 | Win | 100 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
Prior to their bye week the San Francisco 49ers looked as dangerous as ever in a rout against the Rams. The addition of Christian McCaffrey is going to key plenty of drives for San Francisco. Yet, the 49ers have struggle outside of the division, with a 1-4 record. Look for their inability to execute outside the division to haunt them on a spread that is far too big. Take the Chargers. | |||||||
11-13-22 | Broncos +2.5 v. Titans | 10-17 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
The Tennessee Titans string of fortune nearly propelled them to a huge win on the road last week against Kansas City. Continuing their methodical ground attack by Derrick Henry can only work for so long. Expect the Denver Broncos defense to be fresh off their bye week, and for the Broncos to get the necessary big plays to propel them ATS. Take Denver. | |||||||
11-12-22 | San Jose State v. San Diego State +2.5 | 27-43 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
In the late games San Diego State finds themselves as a small home underdog against San Jose State. The Spartans have the showcase record at 6-2, but have had closer than expected calls in consecutive weeks against Nevada and Colorado State. In a road environment look for the Aztecs to churn the clock and keep this within range in the second half. Take the Aztecs as the Spartans succumb and falter in the waning moments. | |||||||
11-12-22 | New Mexico State v. UTEP -1 | 64-67 | Win | 100 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
A lot of rosters are completely made over in college basketball with transfers that are upperclassmen but inexperienced. UTEP is one of those teams. After losing by fifteen points to a top team in Texas it can be hard to regroup for their second game. UTEP may lack experience but has a group of players that have had high repetition of practices with their former teams. This new playing time is what they covet and should carry over in a win against New Mexico State. Play UTEP. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Kansas State v. Baylor -2.5 | 31-3 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
Baylor will have their hands full against Adrian Martinez and Kansas State. As conference play has stretched on Martinez’s sacks have gone up, and his rushing yards have dipped. In fact, his last three full games played he has been sacked eight times. Also, Baylor has endured the easier scheduling stretch opponent wise versus Kansas State facing three consecutive top twenty five teams. Tail Baylor in this one. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Binghamton +3 v. Marist | 78-75 | Win | 100 | 1 h 9 m | Show | |
Binghamton out of the American East conference should have a solid revenge spot today against Marist. A season ago the Bearcats hosted Marist and lost 64 to 51. A spark plug for Marist in that contest was Jao Ituka, who has now transferred to Wake Forest. This should be a slower paced contest and low scoring. Go against the line move here and play Binghamton. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Nets +1.5 v. Clippers | 110-95 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
Amidst the disarray of the firing of Coach Steve Nash and Kyrie Irving’s suspension the Brooklyn Nets have shown momentum. They’ve won three of four games, and only loss was a tight two point game against Dallas. Traveling across the country look for the Nets to stymie the Clippers who have enjoyed a favorable schedule to win five of six. Play Brooklyn. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Miami-FL +2 v. Georgia Tech | 35-14 | Win | 100 | 1 h 24 m | Show | |
Sitting at 4-5, the Hurricanes prospects of becoming bowl eligible are bleak. To get closer to eligibility they will have to find a way to bounce back from a 45 to 3 home loss to Florida State. The Hurricanes starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke will be not play today against Georgia Tech. Still, the Hurricanes have fared better on the road this year where they are 2-0 in-conference. Take Miami with the points. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Appalachian State -2 v. Marshall | 21-28 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 23 m | Show | |
Marshall can assuredly hang their head on a strong defense. Yet, their offense has been abysmal and complacent. Against Coastal Carolina they left several points off the board with a failure to execute in plus territory and the red zone. Additionally, in last week’s 12-0 win over Old Dominion they failed to score a touchdown. On the road tail Appalachian State. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Arizona State +10 v. Washington State | 18-28 | Push | 0 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
Washington State should have another big week in-store from a points perspective against a highly vulnerable Arizona State defense. The Sun Devils hung around against UCLA but could not stop the Bruins from scoring a week ago. Still, I love the confidence soaring from Arizona State’s new starting quarterback in Trenton Bourguet. Ride the points here with ASU. | |||||||
11-11-22 | Pepperdine v. CS-Fullerton +4 | 71-74 | Win | 100 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
One more late add with Cal State Fullerton getting a small number at home. Early in the season one can't over react to a big blowout win. Pepperdine blew out an opponent in Rice that they had a revenge angle on. Last year Rice defeated them in double digit fashion to open the season. Cal State Fullerton does not score in bunches but does play solid defense with experience. Take Cal State Fullerton. |
