Fever +12 v. Aces | Top | 97-102 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
The Fever have lost 7 of 9 but there's something about the Aces that has rarely made me feel comfortable laying double digits. They lack the killer instinct to put teams away. They are rarely as good on the defensive end as they are offensively. Take the Fever. |
06-29-19 |
A's +1.5 v. Angels | Top | 4-0 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
The Angels had enough runners on base to get a much needed win in game two, the problem was they couldn't string them together to do damage. Much is always made about a team that "needs" to win but we never take into account that the team they're chasing, Oakland, looks at this as a chance to put some distance between themselves and the Angels. Just because you need to win doesn't mean you have what it takes. Take the insurance and Oakland. |
06-29-19 |
Diamondbacks v. Giants +1.5 | | 4-3 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
It appears that everyone loves the Diamondbacks, giving us a great number on the run-line. If you think the Giants are happy with one win in this series think again. Just remember back to the last time these two met with the Diamondbacks crushing the Giants. San Francisco would love to do nothing more than to beat the D'Backs and their ace. |
06-27-19 |
A's +1.5 v. Angels | Top | 3-8 |
Loss | -145 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
The Athletics swept a couple game from the St.Louis Cardinals and now head back to face their division rival, LA Angels.Let's take the insurance with Oakland who have won 7 of their last 9 games and four straight road games. |
06-26-19 |
Pirates +1.5 v. Astros | Top | 14-2 |
Win | 110 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
The Pirates took it on the chin in game one, 5-1, but they did fare pretty well against Gerrit Cole, gathering 7 hits in six innings against the right-hander. That didn't equate to runs scored but it gave me enough confidence to get some of the Buc's and the insurance tonight. |
06-25-19 |
Storm +7 v. Aces | | 56-60 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
As the 2018 WNBA champions roll into Vegas, they must be a little surprised that they are a 7-point dog against the team that most consider to be the 2019 front runner to win a title. The motivation has to be on the side of the Storm who have covered 5 of their last 6 against Western Conference teams. |
06-24-19 |
Dodgers v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | | 5-8 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
Yes, it's the Dodgers but the Diamondbacks grip on the wild card has been slipping off their 3 wins in their last 10 games. Arizona is two games off the pace as they look to their ace to get them back on track. I'll take the insurance in this one. |
06-23-19 |
Orioles +1.5 v. Mariners | | 3-13 |
Loss | -120 | 2 h 48 m | Show |
The Orioles snapped a 10-game slide on Saturday with a win in seattle, preventing the mariners from their fourth straight win. No matter how bad the Orioles are, I can't rely on the Mariners bullpen to do their job so its never out of the question to look at their opponent for wagering purposes. Let's grab the +1.5 today and see if the Orioles can get a series split. |
06-23-19 |
Giants +1.5 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 2-3 |
Win | 100 | 1 h 28 m | Show |
The Giants have not had a great season but they sure have Arizona's number after winning both road series against the snakes this season. They go for the sweep today Shaun Anderson has been more effective away from Oracle so let's grab the Giants and the insurance. |
06-22-19 |
Giants +1.5 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 7-4 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
The Giants have had some success against Zack Godley this season, hitting almost .300 against him in their first meeting. Arizona has never faced Tyler Beede so perhaps there's an edge against Arizona who are the superior team but like we saw on Friday, you can't wager on what should be. |
06-21-19 |
Rockies +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 2-4 |
Loss | -125 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
The is likely the series that the Rockies will circle if they don't end up in the postseason, especially if the faint hope of a division title is still on their minds. The Rockies sit in second place in the NL West but are 10 games behind LA. No team in playing better baseball than Colorado in that division, so let's take the insurance and Colorado. |
06-20-19 |
Giants +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 8-9 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
This the only the 3rd time in his career that Bumgarner has been listed as this big of a dog and we're going to take advantage of that with a little insurance. Every game he has started against LA this season has been a 1-run affair. Lets see if the Giants can actually give him some run support for once. |
06-19-19 |
Giants +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 2-9 |
Loss | -100 | 8 h 60 m | Show |
The Giants haven't had a great season but have started to play better of late, winning 6 of their last 10 games including game one of this series. The Giants have had past success against Rich Hill so let's take the +1.5 in this one. |
06-18-19 |
Mystics +1.5 v. Sparks | Top | 81-52 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
New just went to Los Angeles and slapped them on their own floor and they were the perceived worst team in the league. Now the Mystics, who dominated Seattle in their last game, need to just put together a four quarter effort to finish off LA. |
06-16-19 |
Cubs +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 2-3 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show |
We're taking the Cubs here and the RL because Quintana is a guy you can count on to keep the Cubs in most games. His numbers aren't great but good enough to take the insurance. |
06-15-19 |
Liberty +13 v. Sparks | Top | 98-92 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
The Liberty were pounded by Las Vegas last night in a revenge match-up and now play Los Angeles in the second of a back to back. This is usually a good spot to grab a lot of points with a home team off a bad loss. In their first meeting, in Los Angeles, the Sparks won by just five. |
06-15-19 |
Cubs +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 2-1 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
The Dodgers have the best pitching in the national league but Chicago is right behind them especially when you factor in bullpens. Darvish has pitched better than his numbers would indicate and they would be better if his walks were down. I'll have to take the run-line here for protection but I think the Cubs get LA today. |
06-15-19 |
Padres +1.5 v. Rockies | Top | 8-14 |
Loss | -120 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
What a game last night with 28 totals runs scored in 12 innings of baseball. we may be seeing another high scoring affair with Eric Lauer on the mound for the Padres, a guy who is a contact pitcher. I'm going to grab the RL in this one simply because I can't trust the Rockies pen. |
06-14-19 |
Brewers v. Giants +1.5 | Top | 3-5 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
After a series against the Houston Astros I think the Brewers are in a let down spot against bad competition. I'll take the +1.5 for insurance . The Giants may a have a little momentum after a sweep against the Padres. |
06-09-19 |
Storm +1.5 v. Sky | Top | 71-78 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
The public seems to be all over the Storm in this one and I agree. The Storm has covered 4 of their last 5 visits to Chicago and have covered 12 of 15 on the road overall. |
06-09-19 |
Mercury v. Fever +2.5 | | 94-87 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 18 m | Show |
There's not many who believe in the Indiana Fever just yet but that will change with a win against Phoenix. They've managed to get easy home wins against new York and Dallas which may not mean a lot to most but when you have a history of futility as Indiana does you'll take every win. I'll continue to back them this afternoon. |
06-09-19 |
Aces -10 v. Liberty | Top | 78-88 |
Loss | -113 | 3 h 8 m | Show |
The Aces are hoping to gain some traction off their recent blowout win over Atlanta. Las Vegas, the preseason favorite, Expect Liz Cambridge to make an impact as she seems to be getting stronger with each game. |
06-06-19 |
Mercury v. Lynx -2 | Top | 56-58 |
Push | 0 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
After dropping their first game of the season the Lynx will plenty fired up when they face the Mercury who are starting their first road trip of the season. Phoenix won't shoot 50% in this one as they did when they faced Las Vegas who was sloppy and disengaged. |
06-04-19 |
Lynx v. Storm -1.5 | Top | 77-84 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Minnesota is just 2-8 ATS against Seattle in their last 10 meetings and are 3-8 ATS after a straight-up win. The Storm is 35-17-1 ATS after a SU loss. |
06-02-19 |
Sun v. Aces -5 | Top | 80-74 |
Loss | -102 | 4 h 23 m | Show |
The Aces come home after suffering their first loss to Phoenix. They face a Sun team who have dropped 11 of their last 16 ATS on the road and are just 1-5 after a SU loss. I'll take the Aces who have been fantastic against the East. |
05-31-19 |
Sun v. Sparks +1 | Top | 70-77 |
Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
I'm not going to go crazy after the LA Sparks were thoroughly beaten by the Las Vegas Aces to start the 2019 season. This is a Sparks team who has had plenty of rest and and ended last season as a reliable wager after a loss. I'll take the Sparks in their home opener. |
05-31-19 |
Aces -1 v. Mercury | Top | 84-86 |
Loss | -107 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
Let's ride the Las Vegas wave for now as the favorites to win the WNBA title get their first road test. Liz Cambridge will see her first action tonight making Vegas even stronger over what we saw in the opener. |
05-29-19 |
Storm v. Lynx -3.5 | | 61-72 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show |
Seattle is just 7-15 ATS at Minnesota and despite the win against Phoenix they were horrible from the free throw line and beyond the arc. I'm not going to get excited about the first game, bet Minnesota in a route. |
05-26-19 |
Sparks +2 v. Aces | Top | 70-83 |
Loss | -106 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
The Aces made offseason moves that pushed them right to the top of the list of favorites to win the WNBA Title but their newest acquisition, Liz Cambridge, is doubtful (foot) and it takes a second for new players to bond. I'll take the Sparks who should be plenty motivated knowing that if Cambridge doesn't play they need to take advantage of these spots when possible. |
04-10-19 |
Jazz v. Clippers -6.5 | | 137-143 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
The Clippers still don't have their seeding figured out on the last night of the regular season while the Jazz are locked in the 5th seed. This spot is the gift the Clippers were hoping for. |
04-10-19 |
Kings +4.5 v. Blazers | Top | 131-136 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
Home court has been clinched in the 1st round for the Blazers as they face a Kings team that beat them last time out when both teams were playing their regulars. |
04-10-19 |
Warriors v. Grizzlies +4.5 | | 117-132 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 60 m | Show |
The stars will be sitting for the Warriors tonight against the Grizzlies who will treat this as their NBA Final. |
04-09-19 |
Warriors v. Pelicans +9 | | 112-103 |
Push | 0 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
The Pelicans will not be going to the postseason but they will likely treat this as one last barometer against a team who most likely is more focused on the postseason after clinching another Western Conference 1 seed. |
04-09-19 |
Raptors -7 v. Wolves | Top | 120-100 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
The Timberwolves have officially been eliminated from the postseason so I anticipate some strange line-up combinations and perhaps a lack of interest against the Raptors who want to stay sharp for their championship run. |
04-09-19 |
76ers v. Heat -5 | | 99-122 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 35 m | Show |
The Sixers are locked into the 3rd spot in the East after a win against the Bulls. It appears that Brett Brown will rest most of his regulars and with Miami needing this game, it looks like Miami is the right spot. |
04-09-19 |
Celtics v. Wizards -4.5 | Top | 116-110 |
Loss | -109 | 5 h 45 m | Show |
The Celtics are resting all of their starters for tonight's game against the Wizards who are still playing starters for whatever reason. |
04-09-19 |
Hornets -8 v. Cavs | | 124-97 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
The Hornets have covered 7 of the last 10 games and 4 of 5. Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love will not play for the Cav's. |
04-08-19 |
Texas Tech v. Virginia -1 | | 77-85 |
Win | 100 | 31 h 20 m | Show |
The Cavs allow just 55 points a game in a game that features two of the county's top defenses. Virginia seems to be a team of destiny after being tested more than any other team in the tournament. Virginia still has not played their best basketball. |
04-07-19 |
Nuggets v. Blazers -7.5 | Top | 108-115 |
Loss | -107 | 6 h 19 m | Show |
Revenge time for the Blazers who are still fighting for playoff positioning. Denver can still drop a spot if Houston catches them but I'm still not convinced that this isn't the Nuggets team that has struggled offensively prior to the last two games. |
04-07-19 |
Clippers v. Warriors -11.5 | | 104-131 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Huge game for both. From a standings perspective, the Clippers need this game to avoid a potential match-up with the Warriors and the Warriors are trying to close out Oracle Arena in style. When in doubt, take the better team. |
04-07-19 |
Wizards -4.5 v. Knicks | Top | 110-113 |
Loss | -104 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
There has been some that have suggested that the Wizards should tank in hopes of getting a better lottery position but they play a Knicks team who have been thinking about the lottery since November. It will be fun to watch both teams try to lose but unfortunately for the Wiz, the Knicks are just better at it. |
04-07-19 |
Suns +18.5 v. Rockets | | 113-149 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
The Houston Rockets will be way more interested in their match-up against Oklahoma City on Tuesday than they will pummeling the lowly Suns who actually found a way to get a recent win against the Cavs. I would think that James Harden would not get his normal allotment of minutes making the 18.5 hard to pass up on. |
04-07-19 |
Hawks +11.5 v. Bucks | Top | 107-115 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show |
There are some circumstances surrounding the Hawks win the last two times these two got together with the Bucks sitting most of their regulars but a win is a win and the Hawks have the rare chance to split a season series. Lets take the points. |
04-06-19 |
Texas Tech v. Michigan State -2 | Top | 61-51 |
Loss | -114 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
The Red Raiders have been the most impressive team in the tournament but give Tom Izzo time to prepare and they become even more dangerous. I picked state to win the title and there's no reason to go against that thought here. |
04-06-19 |
76ers v. Bulls +9 | | 116-96 |
Loss | -107 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
Despite being a bad basketball team the Chicago Bulls do have two stars in Zach Lavine and Kakarr Sampson. They have been much better against the number than their overall record would indicate they might be. 76ers win but not as easily as you might think. |
04-06-19 |
Auburn +6 v. Virginia | | 62-63 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
The Cavs have already beaten three of the winningest programs in College Basketball history and look to knock off their second #1 seed against Virginia. Auburn will control tempo against the Cav's who would rather keep the game at a slower pace. It wouldn't shock me if Auburn wins this game outright. |
04-06-19 |
Nets +6 v. Bucks | Top | 133-128 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
The Bucks have nothing to play for while the Nets still are fighting for playoff position with 3 games left. This is a game the Nets need desperately so I'll take the points here. |
04-05-19 |
Cavs +16.5 v. Warriors | | 114-120 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
Conventional thinking would say that if the Cavaliers, who are playing their second of back to back games, couldn't stay within 13 of the Kings how will they fare against the Warriors. I've been doing this log enough to know that if it seems easy, you're talking yourself into a loser. |
04-05-19 |
Blazers v. Nuggets -6.5 | Top | 110-119 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
The Nuggets are hanging on to the #2 spot in the West while securing a divisional title. Too many injuries for me to like the Blazers tonight. |
04-05-19 |
Pelicans -2 v. Suns | Top | 126-133 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
We are basically being asked to pick a winner here and with the Suns sitting at 18-61 its a little difficult to take Phoenix in any situation. In their last meeting in the desert, the Pelicans won by 14, a reflection of what is going to happen tonight. |
04-05-19 |
Kings +10.5 v. Jazz | | 98-119 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
It's not the postseason but the Kings still have a chance at a .500 season as they play the second of back to back games after crushing the Cavs last night. The Jazz injuries and interest level has me on the Kings and double digits tonight. |
04-05-19 |
South Florida v. DePaul -1 | | 77-65 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
I'm not sure what the excitement level is for this tournament but with this third and deciding game being played in Chicago, there has to be some kind of home court advantage which has been kind to both of these teams. The Blue Demons put up 100 in game two and is averaging almost 85 PPG in their last 3 games. |
04-04-19 |
Cavs +9.5 v. Kings | Top | 104-117 |
Loss | -105 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
The public is all over the Kings in this one even though the bigger money has pushed this number down for now. I'm not laying almost double digits with the Kings in any situation even against the Cavs, who have been respectable against the number this season. |
04-04-19 |
Green Bay +5.5 v. Marshall | | 70-90 |
Loss | -108 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
Hard to go against a team that's averaging 92 points a game while shooting over 53%. In their four wins, the Phoenix were the more athletic in all four wins and I don't see how that changes tonight and we get points. |
04-04-19 |
Lipscomb +2 v. Texas | | 66-81 |
Loss | -105 | 4 h 25 m | Show |
The NIT Championship is set between Lipscomb and Texas. Lipscomb has already proven that they can win on a big stage and they've proven that they are never out of a game as they proved against Wichita State. I'll take the points. |
04-03-19 |
South Florida +5.5 v. DePaul | | 96-100 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show |
The South Florida Bulls can put this tournament to rest tonight with a win after beating DePaul in game one on a last second shot. The public seems to be all over the Demons which is fine by me, keep pushing this number up. |
04-02-19 |
Texas +2 v. TCU | Top | 58-44 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
The Horn Frogs have beaten Texas Twice this season which is why the public seems to be all over TCU. Good for us because I think the 3rd time's the charm for the Longhorns. Texas has more success from beyond the arc to get the win. |
04-02-19 |
Texas Southern +6 v. Green Bay | | 86-87 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
It seems like this Texas Southern team is destined to win this tournament after outlasting La-Monroe in three OT's 108-102, Thursday. In the game, TS shot almost 49% and if they can get close to that tonight they'll win this game outright and advance to the Title game. |
04-01-19 |
Cavs +2 v. Suns | Top | 113-122 |
Loss | -108 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
This isn't exactly the marquee game on the card but this is the easiest winner, which is why it's my 'Blow-Out' winner. The Suns have now lost 6 straight games with losses in 28 of their last 38 home games. |
04-01-19 |
Magic +7 v. Raptors | | 109-121 |
Loss | -108 | 6 h 12 m | Show |
The Raptors can win their 6th division title with a win but this is a Magic team that has won 2 of 3 against Toronto and in both games showed that they were the more athletic of the two teams. I'll take the 7. |
04-01-19 |
Heat +7 v. Celtics | Top | 105-110 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 39 m | Show |
No doubt that the Heat will not be at full strength but this is a must win for the Heat so I'm certainly happy to take the points with a desperate team. |
04-01-19 |
Pistons +5.5 v. Pacers | | 102-111 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 41 m | Show |
The Pacers have lost 7 of their last 10 and 3 straight overall. The Pistons were a SU winner in their last meeting and have won three straight including quality wins against the Blazers and Nuggets.
Take the points in this one. |
04-01-19 |
DePaul +2 v. South Florida | | 61-63 |
Push | 0 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
I can't go against a team that has managed to score 90 points or more in 6 of their last 7 games. Nothing new for DePaul who have been efficient on the offensive end pretty much the whole season. The Demons are on pace to have the best offensive team in school history. |
03-31-19 |
Michigan State +2.5 v. Duke | Top | 68-67 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 1 m | Show |
Duke has won their last two games by the skin of their teeth. they won't be able to outclass this Spartans team who has not been tested much in the tournament, winning all three games by double digits. It may not be double digits but State bettors will rest easy for most of the day. |
03-31-19 |
Auburn +5 v. Kentucky | | 77-71 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 28 m | Show |
The Wildcats beat Auburn twice this season but after watching the Tigers dismantle the Tar Heels its clear that this is a different team. Auburn's perimeter game keeps them close in this one. |
03-30-19 |
Purdue v. Virginia -4 | | 75-80 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 35 m | Show |
I'm a big believer in backing teams that are superior on the defensive end and that's the situation that we have here because the Cav's are the stronger of the two in that category. |
03-30-19 |
Texas Tech +5 v. Gonzaga | Top | 75-69 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
Love to wager on the better defensive teams and after holding Buffalo and Michigan in check its time to start believing in the Red Raiders, especially when we're getting points. |
03-29-19 |
Houston +2.5 v. Kentucky | | 58-62 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
I think we'll need every bit of the 2.5 but this is a Houston team that is the most physical team in College Basketball which I think is going to give the Wildcats trouble all night. |
03-29-19 |
Virginia Tech v. Duke -7 | Top | 73-75 |
Loss | -102 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
This is one of the few revenge spots for Duke after a loss in February but that was without Zion Williamson and R.J. Barret not 100%. Williamson is healthy and will lead the Devils into the 'Elite 8'. |
03-28-19 |
Oregon +8.5 v. Virginia | | 49-53 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
The general thought in the Cav's struggle early against Gardner-Webb was because they were a little nervous. That leads me to wonder if they were nervous for a 1st round tournament game then they should be a mess for an opening Sweet 16 game and Oregon won't be a team they can overwhelm with talent in the second half. |
03-28-19 |
Texas Tech v. Michigan -1.5 | Top | 63-44 |
Loss | -109 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
This is a Michigan team that has felt disrespected all season on the defensive end because all they've done is allow just 58.2 PPG and all they hear about is how great Virginia is and even how tough the Red Raiders are on the defensive end. The Wolverines flex their muscles to alert the nation to just how good Michigan is against the Red Raiders. |
03-28-19 |
Texas Southern +8 v. Louisiana-Monroe | Top | 108-102 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show |
I'm not sure why this number is as high as it is but I'll take one of the most aggressive teams to the basket in the country. |
03-28-19 |
Purdue v. Tennessee -1 | Top | 99-94 |
Loss | -115 | 5 h 1 m | Show |
In a tournament that has been kind to the chalk, I suppose i won't buck that trend in this one. Both teams have fantastic guards but I'll take the Vols who will not let edwards to drop 42. |
03-28-19 |
Florida State +8 v. Gonzaga | | 58-72 |
Loss | -109 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
Florida State has to be coming into this one with an incredible amount of confidence considering they knocked Gonzaga out last season (75-60) on the same court. FSU has won their 1st two games by an average of 18 points, and yes, Gonzaga has been more impressive but I still can't get the St. Mary's game out of my head when Gonzaga lost the conference final game. Let's take the Seminoles plus the generous points to win my tournament game of the year. |
03-27-19 |
Colorado +5.5 v. Texas | | 55-68 |
Loss | -109 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
You guys know I like defense, especially when I'm getting points. The Buffs are better on that side of the court and if they can find something that resembles a consistent offense that could find themselves at Madison Square Garden. |

Lipscomb v. NC State -4 | Top | 94-93 |
Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
Let's get the Lipscomb story to bed. They're not an athletic or intimidating team, State should be able to get plenty of chances in the paint. In fact, I think you'll see the reason why they didn't get a at-large bid tonight as the Wolfpack blows them out by at least 10-15 points. |
03-27-19 |
Coastal Carolina +8 v. DePaul | Top | 87-92 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
After Coastal Carolina beat up the West Virginia Mountaineers, its clear that this team needs to be taken seriously, especially when they're getting as many points as they are tonight. The 109-91 victory was the most points ever slapped on a Bob Huggins team. No need to think they can't handle Depaul too. |
03-25-19 |
CS Bakersfield +2 v. Southern Utah | Top | 70-67 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
Expect Bakersfield to be real good on the offensive boards, allowing them to have a second chance advantage. Expect Senior forward James Suber to control the middle. |
03-25-19 |
Texas Southern +6 v. UT-Rio Grande Valley | | 94-85 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
Texas Southern will push the pace, as they do in most games, averaging 80 per game.The Tigers shot over 51% in their opening round game against New Orleans and 6 of 19 from beyond the arc. If they're anything like that in this game, they could could pull the outright upset. |
03-22-19 |
St. Louis v. Virginia Tech -10 | | 52-66 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
It seems like Virginia Tech has no problem talking about this being a revenge spot, so I won't either. It's been a long time since these two teams played in late 2017 at madison Square Garden, so whatever motivates a team I suppose. I'm just going to go with experience here and that's Va.Tech as they get their revenge in a big way. |
03-22-19 |
Ohio State v. Iowa State -5 | Top | 62-59 |
Loss | -105 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
It's more than a debate whether or not Ohio State should have made the tournament with a 19-12 record and a RPI of 70. Iowa State won the Big 12 for the 4th time in 6 years. I'll take the better team, simple as that in an easy win. |
03-22-19 |
North Dakota State v. Duke -26 | | 62-85 |
Loss | -108 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
No one on the Bison's is from the same planet as Zion Wliiamson. This is a team that struggled with NCC for the right to get annihilated by Duke. The books get crushed on this one when my clients load up on Coach K's Dukies. |
03-22-19 |
Washington v. Utah State -3.5 | Top | 78-61 |
Loss | -102 | 6 h 49 m | Show |
The Aggies have won 17 of 18 games, including a Mountain West Title. They've won 10 straight games behind one of the best defenses in the country. That trend continues as they grind down the Huskies in the second half. |
03-22-19 |
Oregon +2 v. Wisconsin | | 72-54 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show |
The Aggies have won 17 of 18 games, including a Mountain West Title. They've won 10 straight games behind one of the best defenses in the country. That trend continues as they grind down the Huskies in the second half. |
03-21-19 |
Montana v. Michigan -14.5 | Top | 55-74 |
Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
It's known that the Grizzlies are a different style of team than they were before the injury to Jamar Akoh. Now they are much more of a perimeter team who relies on their guards. Good thing for the Grizzlies that they won their conference tournament because they aren't a very good team despite their record. Very weak conference. |
03-21-19 |
Kent State +3.5 v. Louisiana-Monroe | | 77-87 |
Loss | -110 | 11 h 35 m | Show |
Kent State has the experience advantage in this one as this is their 6th time to this tournament. They should feel like they deserved a better fate after a 22-10 season but they shot 40% against 5th seeded Central Michigan to end their season.
Take Kent +3.5 in a game they should feel like they have something to prove in. |
03-21-19 |
Fairleigh Dickinson v. Gonzaga -26.5 | Top | 49-87 |
Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show |
The Zags have never had an issue in the 1st round, in fact, they've won 10 straight 1st round games. They've advanced to four straight Final Fours. They play a FD team that had to come back against Prairie View and might just be happy to be here.
This line is soft, even at 26.5. Take the Zags in an absolute route. |
03-21-19 |
Florida v. Nevada -2.5 | | 70-61 |
Loss | -105 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
I still think Nevada is soft but in this one I think the Wolfpack will surprise. I thought I was taking the Gators all week but the more I looked at the match-up the more I liked the Pack. Nevada is bigger than Florida at every position except Kavarrius Hayes. |
03-21-19 |
Murray State +3.5 v. Marquette | Top | 83-64 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
Except for a meeting with Duke and Zion Williamson, Murray State will have the best player on the court with Ja Morant. The Golden Eagles have lost 5 of their last 6 including four straight. Not exactly the kind of momentum I want to put my money behind. |
03-21-19 |
Northeastern +7 v. Kansas | | 53-87 |
Loss | -103 | 6 h 42 m | Show |
Northeastern will live and die with their 3-pt shooting which has been kind to them this season, ranking 13th nationally. They are also very efficient on offense where they've done a great job of keeping turnovers to a minimum. |
03-21-19 |
Belmont +3 v. Maryland | Top | 77-79 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
The First 4 winners have a long history of success as they move into the next round as the 11 seed. They controlled Temple in the opening game and I think they'll win this game outright. |
03-21-19 |
Vermont v. Florida State -8.5 | | 69-76 |
Loss | -106 | 3 h 32 m | Show |
FSU has won 6 of 7, with the one loss being against Duke in the ACC Tournament, a game the Seminoles led at halftime. FSU too deep for the Catamounts. |
03-20-19 |
Loyola Marymount -1.5 v. California Baptist | Top | 56-55 |
Loss | -109 | 14 h 46 m | Show |
Not sure why the public seems to be on Cal Baptist here, considering I know that that no one has ever seen this team play on a consistent basis.
The Lions have been a great bounceback wager after covering 10 of their last 13 after a SU loss.
Loyola is a 20 win team that will flex their muscles in this one. |
03-20-19 |
Presbyterian +4 v. Seattle University | | 73-68 |
Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
The Blue Hose has covered 10 of their last 11 games following a SU loss and have covered 4 of their last 5 games overall.
Seattle has failed to cover 12 of their last 17 games. |
03-20-19 |
Arizona State -1.5 v. St. John's | Top | 74-65 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
The Sun Devils are starting to put things together once again, by comparison, ASU is more athletic and will likely control the paint. State has won 6 of 8 and made a deep run in the Pac-12 Tournament. Let's take Bobby Hurley's team who is going to face Buffalo next. |
03-20-19 |
Southern Miss -10.5 v. Longwood | Top | 68-90 |
Loss | -108 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
The Golden Eagles have proven that they can go into an opposing team's gym who have proven track records at home and still cover the number. The Lancers have dropped 5 of their last 6 games ATS after a ATS win. |
03-20-19 |
Green Bay +10.5 v. East Tennessee State | | 102-94 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show |
GB certainly has the experience edge with 6 postseason berths in the last 7 seasons. This may be a game where the Buccaneers may be less than interested after losing to Wofford in the conference final especially when being asked to lay double digits. |
03-20-19 |
UAB +2 v. Brown | Top | 78-83 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
Despite the fact that Brown owns an impressive 19-11 record, they have never been a team that I could rely on this season when it comes to wagering. The Bears are just 12-13 ATS while the Blazers are still stinging after not receiving a NCAA bid despite losing by just 2 points to ODU. Take, what should be, an inspired UAB squad. |
03-17-19 |
Michigan +1 v. Michigan State | | 60-65 |
Loss | -108 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
Let's do it again. State and Michigan face each other for the third straight week. The Spartans swept the season series but are somehow underdogs as the higher ranked team.
State has covered 22 of his last 30 games so I'm not getting in the way of that. FTR, this play is on Michigan State but hit the wrong button and I can't edit the pick. My apologies. |
03-17-19 |
Cincinnati +5.5 v. Houston | Top | 69-57 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
Revenge spot here after Houston won the Conference regular season title with a last day win against Cincinnati. The public is pouring money in on the Cougars so wait until gametime to get the best number. If you get a 6, jump on it immediately.
If the Bearcats hit their FT's, unlike in the win against Wichita State, Cincinnati will win this outright, proving the oddsmakers wrong against. |
