Pistons v. Hornets -9.5 | Top | 127-126 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
This is another opportunity to jump on a game that involves a team that I think will be a definite fade down the stretch. This will be the angle I'll be looking at through the end of the season. |
02-27-22 |
Tulane v. Temple UNDER 137.5 | Top | 70-75 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 27 m | Show |
Tulane have played six straight overs while the Owls have two straight under their belt. This number seems to be begging you to take the over but we're not going to be on that side. The under is 24-9-1 in the Owls last 34 games as a favorite. |
02-27-22 |
Iona v. Rider UNDER 142 | Top | 68-61 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 30 m | Show |
The Gaels come in playing 5 straight unders while the Broncs come in with a couple unders behind them. This is usually when i go over the total but Rider isn't reliable enough from an offensive standpoint to think they'll do their part in pushing this over. |
02-27-22 |
Canisius v. Quinnipiac UNDER 146.5 | Top | 72-67 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 34 m | Show |
Canisius is one of the worst offensive teams on College Basketball, which would make sense when you have an 8-20 record. Iona have played 5 straight unders which makes this an easy selection, right? We're going to go against what many think will be an easy over. |
02-27-22 |
SMU v. Houston UNDER 138 | Top | 61-75 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show |
After two straight rad overs, I suspect that this number is a little higher than I expected in this one. We've seen quality teams come into Houston and get suffocated, in fact, the under is 42-19-1 when Houston faces team with a winning road record. |
02-27-22 |
Long Beach State +7.5 v. Cal-Irvine | Top | 72-77 |
Win | 100 | 15 h 52 m | Show |
The Beach have been a terrific underdog selection this season, especially when I think they can win outright. The Beach are a sparkling 22-8 ATS this season and 19-7 ATS as an underdog. The Anteaters are just 3-7-1 in their last 11 games ATS. |
02-26-22 |
USC +4 v. Oregon | Top | 70-69 |
Win | 100 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
This is the time of year when I like to find underdogs that I feel can win outright, and that's exactly what we have here. The 16th ranked Trojans have somehow found themselves an underdog, but that's fine because this is a clear oversight. The Trojans are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games, expect them to improve on that tonight. |
02-26-22 |
Portland +10.5 v. Santa Clara | Top | 89-102 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
The Pilots are getting double digits in this one and that's very generous of the bookmakers. Portland is now 13-3 ATS s an underdog and 13-3 ATS on the road. Santa Clara has never shown that they can get separation from the teams they should handle easy. |
02-26-22 |
Cleveland State +1.5 v. Oakland | Top | 57-65 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
The Vikings are a team that I like to take when they're an underdog, especially when i think they can win outright. The Vikings are 10-3 overall as an underdog and 9-3 ATS after SU loss. The Golden Grizzlies have now dropped 10 of their last 11 games ATS. |
02-26-22 |
Celtics -11 v. Pistons | Top | 113-104 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 20 m | Show |
The Celtics thumped the Nets with contributions that came from most of the active roster. Jayson Tatum led the way with 30 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while Jaylen Brown added 18 points and six boards. When Tatum and Brown are playing at a high level, they are a difficult team to stop. The Celtics have been able to turn their misfortunes around over the last month. If Marcus Smart is able to help Tatum and Brown as the team’s third option, he will cause problems for the Pistons. |
02-25-22 |
Devils v. Blackhawks -126 | Top | 5-8 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
The money is predictably pouring in on the New Jersey Devils after their 6-1 win against the Penguins last night. I'm not taking a horrible hockey team and betting on them on the second of back to back nights, The number is as good as there is out there. |
02-25-22 |
Spurs -3 v. Wizards | Top | 157-153 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
The Spurs are a team that the Wizards have never played well against and will be a team I will fade down the stretch even though both are within reach of the play in game. |
02-25-22 |
St. Peter's +4.5 v. Monmouth | Top | 70-65 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
I like to play St. Peters as a dog and they're a juicy one tonight, meaning they can win this game outright. The Peacocks are 34-16 as a dog and 47-23 as a road dog. The Hawks have failed to cover 5 of their last 6 at home ATS. |
02-24-22 |
Islanders -125 v. Sharks | Top | 3-4 |
Loss | -125 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
The Sharks have dropped 7 straight games after their shootout loss to the Ducks, Tuesday. Anthony Stolarz was terrific in his 40 save outing and I think we’ll have an even bigger advantage in net tonight with Sorokin who I would put ahead of Sorokin and certainly is better than James Reimer. The Sharks are now 9 points out of a playoff spot and are just 1-5-4 in their last 10. |
02-23-22 |
Washington v. Washington State OVER 135.5 | Top | 70-78 |
Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
There's no other way to bet games involving the Huskies than to play the over. The over is 20-7 in the Huskies last 27 road games and 6 of 7 overall. Neither team are terrific offensive teams but this number would indicate that the pace will be fast. |
02-23-22 |
LSU v. Kentucky OVER 142 | Top | 66-71 |
Loss | -110 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
The over is 7-1 in the Tigers last 8 games and 41-19 in their last 60 road games. The over is 6-1 in the Wildcats last 7 road games. The Wildcats are one of the top offensive teams in College Basketball. |
02-22-22 |
Sharks v. Ducks -150 | Top | 3-4 |
Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
The San Jose Sharks are a complete mess. Their best players are on the IR, they are in salary cap hell, and are falling farther from the playoff picture with every passing day. I'm laying a little more than I would like but the Ducks are the better team. |
02-22-22 |
St. Thomas v. North Dakota OVER 145.5 | Top | 84-74 |
Win | 100 | 1 h 55 m | Show |
This is a classic match-up between the Tommies who are certainly an under bet, against North Dakota who has been a decent over wager. This number indicates that pace of play will be fast, and I agree with that. This game goes over easy. |
02-21-22 |
New Mexico State v. Seattle University +3 | Top | 68-55 |
Loss | -110 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
Seattle has been terrific this season at home, covering 10 of their last 13 with a push. The Redhawks are also 15-7 ATS against teams with a winning SU record. The Aggies are just 5-11 ATS following a ATS win. |
02-21-22 |
Florida State v. Boston College +1.5 | Top | 55-71 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
The Seminoles have been a horrific road wager all season long, failing to cover 15 of their last 20 road trips with a push. The Eagles are 6-2 ATS after an ATS loss. BC will bounce back after a blowout against Syracuse. |
02-21-22 |
Penn State +3 v. Maryland | Top | 61-67 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
The Lions are 7-2 ATS following an ATS win and have covered 7 of their last 10 overall. They are one of the better defensive teams in College Basketball while Maryland tends to play play up to their level of competition to much to put your money behind. |
02-21-22 |
UTEP v. Middle Tennessee -5.5 | Top | 59-77 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
This is an obvious winner. I expect the public to be all over UTEP with the Miners being a solid ATS wager of late but we can't overlook what the Blue Raiders have done covering 18 of their last 24 games with a 2 pushes. |
02-21-22 |
Georgia Tech v. Syracuse -8.5 | Top | 73-74 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
The Orange has been exceptional against teams with a losing record, covering 6 of their last 7. The Yellow Jackets are just 6-13-2 ATS overall. |
02-21-22 |
Louisville v. North Carolina OVER 143 | Top | 63-70 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
The over is 6-1 in the Tar Heels last 7 games including 5 straight as a favorite. The over is also 8-2 in their last 10 overall. |
02-21-22 |
Jets v. Flames UNDER 6 | Top | 1-3 |
Win | 105 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
There isn't very much that would indicate that this game should go under the total, believe me, this game is going under. The Flames are as good as anyone through the neutral zone as they will make it extremely difficult for the Jets to find space to create offensive zone opportinities. |
02-20-22 |
Wild -105 v. Oilers | Top | 7-3 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show |
As predicted, there is a ton of money coming in on the Edmonton Oilers. That was easy to see because common sense tells you that the Wild are struggling some with the Oilers seem to have found their scoring touch again. Don't be fooled, the Wild are the better team the play here |
02-20-22 |
Sabres v. Blue Jackets UNDER 6.5 | Top | 3-7 |
Loss | -100 | 4 h 30 m | Show |
Buffalo has won two of three, but the Sabres are 11-24-7 in their last 42 contests and being outscored by an average of 3.71-2.60 in those games. Overall, Buffalo is 25th in the NHL in scoring (2.66 goals per game), 27th in team defense (3.48 goals allowed), 17th in power play (19.7 percent) and 23rd in penalty kill (76.5 percent). Don't be fooled by the Jackets recent offensive outburst. |
02-19-22 |
Oilers -114 v. Jets | Top | 4-2 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 10 m | Show |
The Edmonton Oilers are starting to score goals in bunches again, while I' still not confident enough that the Jets are a consistent go to team. Noce win against the Wild but can they rip off a string of wins against the better teams. |
02-17-22 |
Towson v. NC-Wilmington +3 | Top | 79-55 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
The Seahawks are one of the teams I like to jump on as an underdog. The dog is 21-5 ATS in their last 26 meetings. |
02-16-22 |
Jazz -4.5 v. Lakers | Top | 101-106 |
Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Gone are the days where the Lakers can rely on their prolific point-of-attack defense, chasers and wing stoppers who they all exchanged for in the Russell Westbrook trade and when they decided to acquire more offense in the off season. |
02-16-22 |
Raptors -1.5 v. Wolves | Top | 103-91 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Toronto is coming off a 30 pt loss to New Orleans but don't let that scare you away from taking the Raptors tonight. The Raptors are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games at Minnesota. |
02-16-22 |
Spurs -7.5 v. Thunder | Top | 114-106 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is out due to a sprained ankle. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is out due to a fractured foot. Lu Dort is out due to a shoulder strain. Mike Muscala is out due to ankle soreness. Kenrich Williams is out due to a knee sprain. Ty Jerome is out due to hip soreness. Take the Spurs in this one. |
02-16-22 |
Hawks -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 130-109 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
The Orlando Magic have the second-worst record in the NBA and are in the midst of a complete tear-down rebuild. According to Tankathon, the Magic have a 52.1% chance of landing a top-four draft pick and a 14% chance of getting the highly-coveted number one draft pick. |
02-16-22 |
Wild -130 v. Jets | Top | 3-6 |
Loss | -130 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
I can't bet the Jets after an opportunity to grab two points from a weaker team went by in a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Wild are in a revenge spot and are clearly the better team. |
02-16-22 |
Illinois v. Rutgers OVER 134.5 | Top | 59-70 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
Over is 17-8 in Fighting Illini's last 25 games following an ATS loss while the Over is 9-4 in Scarlet Knight's last 13 games following a straight-up win. |
02-16-22 |
Massachusetts v. St Bonaventure OVER 144.5 | Top | 71-83 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
The over is 14-6 in the Minutemen top 20 games overall while the Bonnies are on a small 4-1 over run in their last 5 games as a favorite. |
02-15-22 |
Islanders -189 v. Sabres | Top | 3-6 |
Loss | -189 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
This isn't the type of number I like to get involved with many times but I think you're going to start seeing some real separation between teams from here on out. This is an easy winner and I'm taking advantage of everything the books give from here on out. |
02-14-22 |
Blackhawks v. Jets -155 | Top | 3-1 |
Loss | -155 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
For a team that was built to compete for the Stanley Cup, the Jets have done everything but. This is their last chance to make expected noise in the West and order to do that they can't lose to teams like the Blackhawks. |
02-13-22 |
Avalanche -150 v. Stars | Top | 4-0 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show |
With wins in each of their past two games, the Stars begin a home-and-home set against one of the league's juggernauts: the Colorado Avalanche. Boasting the league's best points percentage (.778), the Avs sit atop the league with 70 points and a 33-8-4 record. They became the first team to reach 70 points this season, hitting the mark faster than any club in franchise history (45 games). They have points in 18 straight games (16-0-2) and have one regulation loss in their past 25 (21-1-3). |
02-12-22 |
Jets v. Predators OVER 6 | Top | 5-2 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show |
The Predators came back to tie the Stars three times during Wednesday's outing in Dallas, but Nashville ultimately fell by a 4-3 final in a game that left the visitors less than pleased. The Preds gave the Stars six power-play opportunities in the loss in an effort Head Coach John Hynes called "volatile" and "undisciplined." I can't an under when the word undisciplined is being thrown around. |
02-10-22 |
Blue Jackets -110 v. Sabres | Top | 4-3 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
The Buffalo Sabres are absolutely decimated by injuries at this point. They face a Jacket team that every time we try to bury them they rear their head and beat a team like the Washington Capitals. I won't be on the Sabres very much the rest of the season. |
02-09-22 |
Yale v. Harvard -1.5 | Top | 62-59 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
The Crimson has been a reliable 21-10-2 ATS after a SU loss, while the Bulldogs are just 2-8 ATS after a SU win. They're also just 3-11 ATS against teams with a winning record. |
02-08-22 |
Golden Knights v. Oilers +105 | Top | 4-0 |
Loss | -100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
This is a game that the Oilers need to finally wipe the bad taste out of their mouths after a long losing streak followed by 5 wins on their last 6 games but you have to think that a win over Vegas would be the final icing. I'm interested to see if the Knights are ready to go or are still on the ASB where they played a huge role in hosting the event. |
02-07-22 |
Knicks v. Jazz -7.5 | Top | 104-113 |
Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
After reaching the postseason last year, the New York Knicks were supposed to kick on and build from there. But that hasn't been the case this season as a string of poor performances has had folks questioning whether last year's exploits were a fluke. Kemba Walker's acquisition over the summer brought a lot of hype to the organization but has provided the Knicks with nothing in terms of performances as Walker has been called out for his defensive frailties. Veteran teammate Julius Randle has also come under immense scrutiny this season while another veteran player in Derrick Rose continues to be plagued by injuries. |
02-07-22 |
Charlotte v. Florida International UNDER 138 | Top | 81-68 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
The under has cashed five straight games when the 49ers play a team with a winning record, indicating that they play much tighter and slower-paced games against the better teams even against the Panthers who will try to push the tempo. |
02-06-22 |
Providence v. Georgetown UNDER 144.5 | Top | 71-52 |
Win | 100 | 1 h 31 m | Show |
The under is 11-3 in the Friars last 14 games after an ATS win while the under is 7-3 at home against teams with a winning road record. |
02-05-22 |
Duquesne v. VCU OVER 124 | Top | 62-71 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 58 m | Show |
The Over is 8-3 in the Dukes last 11 road games and 10-4 on the road as a dog. This seems like an easy under but this number is way off my power rankings. |
02-05-22 |
Northern Colorado v. Northern Arizona UNDER 150.5 | Top | 74-71 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 51 m | Show |
The game features two teams that are usually over teams but we've seen this a million times where it looks easy but it ends up the other way. This number is too high so we'll take advantage of the public mistake. |
02-04-22 |
Quinnipiac v. St. Peter's UNDER 135.5 | Top | 74-83 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
The Bobcats are known for putting up under after a SU loss, mostly they get refocused on playing defense, while the under is 24-9 in the Hawks last 33 games overall. |
02-04-22 |
Green Bay v. Cleveland State OVER 134.5 | Top | 69-85 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show |
Both of these teams are under plays on most nights. but the Vikings seem to play higher scoring games against teams who are in the third half of College Basketball so I'm going to ride with that trend. |
02-03-22 |
UCLA v. Arizona OVER 148.5 | Top | 66-76 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
The Arizona men's basketball team lost their first matchup against UCLA at Pauley Pavilion in L.A. on Jan. 25, and will look to get revenge on Thursday, Feb. 4. The Wildcats had one of their worst shooting performances of the season when they faced off against the Bruins. Having Kerr Kriisa finish 0-9 didn't help. As a team, Arizona ended the game shooting 31% from the field and 25% on the 3-point line. Kriisa had his worst game as a Wildcat. Adding four turnovers to the game made it hard for them to come back in the first half. The Wildcats will be much better this time out. |
02-03-22 |
Bryant v. St Francis PA UNDER 149.5 | Top | 89-82 |
Loss | -104 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
I'm going to continue to ride the Red Flash and under, where we've cashed out in 10 of their last 11 games. The under is also 8-0-1 after SU loss by St. Francis because after a loss they get back to playing a better defensive game. |
02-02-22 |
Wild v. Blackhawks UNDER 6 | Top | 5-0 |
Win | 105 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
The Wild will be without Matt Dumba but they still have enough defensive depth to shut down the Blackhawks who have never really found their offensive groove all season. |
02-01-22 |
Capitals v. Penguins UNDER 6 | Top | 4-3 |
Loss | -115 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
I've been impressed with how good the Capitals are in their own end while the offense is trying to find their way. Washington was fantastic against the Stars as they handed them a road shutout. Vanacek was always in a position to make difficult saves look easy, lateral movement and puck anticipation was steller. |
02-01-22 |
South Carolina +8.5 v. Mississippi State | Top | 64-78 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
The South Carolina defense is one of the best in the country. They'd be a force on the national scene if they could limit their turnovers. This number is too high, they have a chance to win outright. |
01-31-22 |
Raptors v. Hawks UNDER 220 | Top | 106-100 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
The Raptors play at one of the slowest paces in the league, and only four teams turn the ball over less. They are one piece away from being making noise in the playoffs. But tonight, they are focused on not losing ground to the red-hot Hawks. |
01-31-22 |
Oilers v. Senators +1.5 | Top | 2-3 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
The Oilers still haven't shown me enough consistency to back them, especially when they face the Eastern Conference teams where they've lost 6 of their last 7. They're just 3-7 the game after scoring five or more goals. I'll take the insurance with the Senators tonight. |
01-30-22 |
Colorado v. Washington State OVER 131.5 | Top | 43-70 |
Loss | -117 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
This total game is out a little higher than I thought it would but that doesn't care me off this winner. I expect both teams to be in the '70's |
01-30-22 |
Bruins v. Stars UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-6 |
Loss | -100 | 5 h 51 m | Show |
With goaltender Tuukka Rask hampered by a lower-body injury, Linus Ullmark is expected to make his third consecutive start on Sunday, per BostonBruins.com. The 28-year-old goaltender stopped 30 of 31 shots in Boston's 2-1 win against the Coyotes and has a 15-5-1 record, 2.54 goals-against average and .916 save percentage in 22 appearances this season. |
01-30-22 |
Cavs -7.5 v. Pistons | Top | 105-115 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 24 m | Show |
There's no comparison on the offensive end between these two teams. The Cavs shoot almost 47%, if they are near that number the Pistons will never keep pace. |
01-29-22 |
Sabres v. Coyotes UNDER 6 | Top | 3-1 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 28 m | Show |
The Sabres / Coyotes series has produced 6 under in their last 8 meetings in Arizona, and 5 of 6 overall. The under is 10-4-1 when the Sabres play teams with a losing record. |
01-29-22 |
South Florida v. Tulsa -5.5 | Top | 45-76 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show |
Tulsa ranks second in three-point field goal percentage (40.7), third in turnovers per game (11.2), fourth in assist-turnover ratio (1.45), 15th in fewest turnovers (157), 20th in three-point field goals made per game (8.9), 20th in won-lost percentage (85.7), 30th in three-point field goals made (124), 32nd in field goal percentage (45.1), 35th in free throw percentage (76.3), 37th in turnover margin (4.79), 43rd in scoring offense (74.1), 49th in scoring margin (13.4). That's really all that needs to be said. This is a complete mismatch. |
01-29-22 |
Kings v. 76ers -10.5 | Top | 101-103 |
Loss | -103 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
When the 76ers visited the Kings on Nov. 22, the severely shorthanded Sixers took a 102-94 victory, despite missing Embiid, Harris, Seth Curry, and Danny Green. So now that they are much healthier, there's no way the Kings stay within the number. |
01-29-22 |
North Alabama v. Kennesaw State -6.5 | Top | 71-58 |
Loss | -108 | 4 h 7 m | Show |
The Owls are one of the better offensive teams in the country which is our edge in this one. I don't think a team that barely shoots 40%, like the Lions, can stay with the Owls. |
01-29-22 |
Florida A&M -1.5 v. Alabama A&M | Top | 65-60 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 33 m | Show |
The Bulldogs are one of the worst shooting teams in college basketball, averaging just 57 points a game on just 37% shooting. The Rattlers aren't much better but I think they're good enough to shut the Bulldogs down the stretch. |
01-28-22 |
Clippers +7.5 v. Heat | Top | 114-121 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
The Heat and Clippers meet for the second and final matchup this season. Earlier this season, the Clippers recorded a, 112-109, win in Los Angeles on 11/11. Miami now looks to snap a team-long six-game losing streak to the Clippers. For the Heat, Markieff Morris (protocols), Kyle Lowry (personal reasons) and Victor Oladipo are out. |
01-28-22 |
Wild v. Rangers OVER 6 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -104 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
With this being another ceremony game, it throws everyone off just a small amount which usually is felt by the defense. This game goes over as the Rangers honor Patrick Lundqvist. |
01-27-22 |
Lakers v. 76ers UNDER 218.5 | Top | 87-105 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show |
As of Wednesday, Danny Green (right hip pain) was upgraded to questionable for the next contest. Seth Curry (left ankle soreness), Shake Milton (back contusion), and Ben Simmons (personal reasons) remain out. The Sixers assigned rookie Jaden Springer and transferred two-way contract player Myles Powell to the Delaware Blue Coats. Paul Reed remains on assignment. After a 17-game absence for the Lakers, Anthony Davis (knee) played 25 minutes and tallied eight points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in their most recent game. Davis was listed as probable against the Sixers entering gameday morning. Sekou Doumbouya (G League - Two-Way), Mason Jones (G League - Two-Way), and Kendrick Nunn (right knee bone bruise) are out. Too many moving parts for both teams to produce offensive consistency |

Ducks v. Canadiens OVER 5.5 | Top | 5-4 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
As much as the players would like to return to a Bell Centre full of their own fans, they may be thankful that the building will be empty if they struggle as mightily in their own zone versus the Anaheim Ducks. After two games surrendering 50-plus shots followed by two others giving up more than 20 shots in the opening period, the Canadiens are quickly going from just a team that doesn’t win many games to a foil for opposing clubs. |

Suns v. Jazz +2 | Top | 105-97 |
Loss | -110 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
Phoenix now stands at 37-9 overall, though it is still just 25-21 against the spread. While the Suns have taken out plenty of quality opponents this season, the most recent run may leave them slightly overvalued here. The Suns have covered four times over this seven-game winning streak but have failed to do so in the past two. The most recent game came against this same Jazz side, when they won by six in a game in which they were 12.5-point favorites. |
01-26-22 |
Utah v. Washington State OVER 138 | Top | 54-71 |
Loss | -110 | 9 h 24 m | Show |
This is a number that was head-scratching but I'm not going to get scared off the game because I think it flies way over. The Cougars average almost 76 points a game on just 43% shooting. This is going to be a high-tempo game which should give us a chance. |
01-26-22 |
Boston College v. North Carolina -13 | Top | 47-58 |
Loss | -115 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
On Monday, the Tar Heels came out on top in a back-and-forth game against the Virginia Tech Hokies. Although they shot 33 percent in the second half, they rose from a four-point halftime lead to win 78-68. Say home-court advantage is a hoax all you want, but the environment of the Dean E. Smith Center is what this North Carolina team feeds off of, evidenced by its 10-0 record in Chapel Hill. The tar Heels lay it on the Eagles in this one. |
01-26-22 |
NJIT v. Maryland-Baltimore County OVER 138 | Top | 69-73 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
UMBC is ranked 232nd in the country with a FG % allowed is 44%. I was a little surprised to see the number this high but it doesn't scare me off. |

Coyotes v. Penguins OVER 6 | Top | 3-6 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 42 m | Show |
After struggling to gain their footing in the first several weeks of the season, the Penguins have been charging lately as they head into Tuesday's home game against the Arizona Coyotes. Pittsburgh has won five in a row and 16 of its past 18 games. The Penguins did not have an update Monday on forward Zach Aston-Reese or Teddy Blueger. Aston-Reese left Friday's game after taking a shot off his left leg, while Blueger left Sunday's game after a hit into the boards left him bleeding heavily from his nose and/or mouth. Arizona, which is 1-2-0 on its four-game road trip, has lost two straight by a combined score of 11-3 -- including Saturday's come-from-ahead 7-3 loss against the New York Rangers. In that game, the Coyotes had a season-high 16 shots in the first period and built a 3-1 lead before the Rangers came storming back with six unanswered goals. |
01-23-22 |
Celtics v. Wizards UNDER 216 | Top | 116-87 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 35 m | Show |
The Celtics are shooting just 44% this season even though we know the Wizards are still an all offense basketball team. Boston is good enough to hold the inconsistent Wizards down. |
01-23-22 |
Rams v. Bucs -2.5 | Top | 30-27 |
Loss | -115 | 5 h 40 m | Show |
Tampa Bay has speed at every level of the defense and Stafford will have to ensure he doesn't let his guard down as Tampa Bay's quickness can ignite turnovers in a hurry. There are still questions about the health of left tackle Andrew Withworth’s ankle, so the play-action passes will likely be a vital part of the gameplan for Stafford's passing attack. |
01-23-22 |
Jets v. Penguins OVER 6 | Top | 2-3 |
Loss | -120 | 3 h 52 m | Show |
The Winnipeg Jets conclude a four-game road trip today against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Jets won't hold a morning skate with the early puck drop and the game on Saturday afternoon in Boston against the Bruins. Due to COVID-19-related postponements, the Jets start 2022 by playing eight consecutive games on the road, which ends on Sunday. The Jets haven't played at home since Dec. 19 when they beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2. The Jets play four games in six days after playing once in the prior 11 days. |
01-23-22 |
Rider v. Niagara -6.5 | Top | 70-67 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
The Purple Eagles will cover this spread because they are one of the better shooting teams from beyond the arc. The Broncs don't have the ability to keep up, shooting just 31% from beyond the arc. Niagara pulls away in the second half. |
01-22-22 |
Pacers v. Suns UNDER 220.5 | Top | 103-113 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
The under in this series has cashed 6 of the last 7 games at the Footprint Center. The Pacers are coming off a huge upset on the road against the Golden State Warriors, scoring 121 points in the win. I expect the Pacers to come back down to earth in this match-up. |
01-22-22 |
Troy State v. UL - Lafayette OVER 142.5 | Top | 59-69 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
This is one of those totals that don't add up. Neither team gives up enough to numerically show why the number is 140. Neither team turns the ball over enough to create transition basketball so expect quality possessions from both teams. When it looks to be true that's when we make the books pay for their oversite. |
01-22-22 |
DePaul v. Creighton UNDER 142.5 | Top | 47-60 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 44 m | Show |
These are two of the worst offensive teams in College Basketball. Blue Jays are ranked 276th in PPG with just 67 points a game. Greg McDermott will not coach this game so there may be some cohesion issues on the bench. I think this number is too high for two teams with that are unreliable. |
01-21-22 |
Heat v. Hawks -1.5 | Top | 108-110 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show |
Last Friday night, the Heat defeated the Hawks for the second time in 48 hours. However, something was noticeably different in the home/away series. Last Wednesday, the Heat destroyed the Hawks 115-91 in their first matchup of the week (and the fans let the Hawks hear about it). Although the Hawks dropped the second game 124-118, their hustle and intensity were markedly better. Since that time, the Hawks are 2-1 with two consecutive home wins. For the first time since November, this team is showing signs of life. What's most interesting is they are accomplishing this without Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic. |
01-21-22 |
Stars v. Red Wings -102 | Top | 5-4 |
Loss | -102 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
Anyone think the way the Stars played defense last night is an example of what you want to put money behind? It was one of the worst defensive efforts this season. I suspect that their defensive effort will be better, but Detroit has enough depth to hurt an even average performance. |
01-21-22 |
Toledo v. Ohio -4.5 | Top | 87-69 |
Loss | -106 | 4 h 40 m | Show |
The Ohio Bobcats are perfect 5-0 in MAC play and have only lost twice all season, compiling a record of 14-2 overall. Additionally, Ohio has won 9 -straight and their last loss was on December 1st when they lost to 13th ranked LSU 66-51. Their only other loss was back in November at Kentucky, who beat them 77-59. On Tuesday, Ohio destroyed Miami of Ohio on the road 86-63. Ben Vander Plas led the way with 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, and 4 three pointers. Mark Sears added 17 points, 9 assists and 3 steals while Jason Carter had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. |
01-20-22 |
Marshall v. Florida International +3 | Top | 66-70 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 55 m | Show |
In the end, Florida International is a better defensive team, allowing just 39.8% FG against this season while the Thundering Hurd will get exposed as they allow the opposition to shoot in the 45% range. |
01-19-22 |
Albany v. Maryland-Baltimore County UNDER 135.5 | Top | 66-54 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show |
This is a match-up features the Albany Great Danes which allows Dana to use information from the College that he grew up around. The Great Danes are one of the worst offensive teams in basketball, shooting under 40% on the season. I think this number is way too high for the Albany to do their part enough to push this over. |
01-18-22 |
Utah State v. Fresno State UNDER 130.5 | Top | 54-61 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
With Fresno State being one of the worst offensive teams in College Basketball, I don't think they're going to do their part in this one. Although the Aggies are going to give us 70-75 points, I think the Bulldogs defense will douse that offensive flame some. |
01-18-22 |
Pistons v. Warriors -15 | Top | 86-102 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
On Monday, we told you that Golden State's Steph Curry was now the clear favorite to win a third-career NBA regular-season MVP Award thanks to the injury suffered by former favorite Kevin Durant, and Curry will play Tuesday night in what appears to be a major mismatch against the visiting Detroit Pistons after sitting out Sunday. The Dubs remain without Draymond Green but are still 15-point favorites. I think the books are trying to coerce you to bet the Pistons, but we won't fall for that. |
01-18-22 |
Pistons v. Warriors UNDER 218.5 | Top | 86-102 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Curry has been dealing with some right (shooting) hand soreness that caused him to miss Sunday's game vs. Minnesota. Maybe that hand explains why Curry is shooting just 35.4 percent this month and 29.9 percent from deep. His scoring average is only 19.6 points in January, and he's down to sixth in the league at 26.3 ppg. Thus, the MVP race could be far from over also involving Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo (+300) and Denver's Nikola Jokic (+600). |

Wolves -2.5 v. Knicks | Top | 112-110 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
After briefly climbing back over .500 with Saturday's 117-108 win at Atlanta, New York trailed by as many as 23 and absorbed a 97-87 loss to the Hornets that snapped a five-game home winning streak. The Knicks were doomed by a poor start as they allowed the game's first seven points and trailed by 18 at halftime before allowing 35 points in the second half. They also had no answers for Charlotte's Miles Bridges, who scored 38 points, and shot a dreadful 11 of 21 from the free-throw line. I think the Wolves are in a better spot right now. |
01-18-22 |
Wolves v. Knicks UNDER 214 | Top | 112-110 |
Loss | -104 | 5 h 4 m | Show |
The Wolves allowed fewer than 100 points for the 13th time and also held the Warriors to 39 percent shooting, marking the second time in the past six contests they held an opponent under 40 percent. Not great for the Knicks who are coming off a horrible shooting night. |
01-18-22 |
Jets v. Capitals UNDER 6 | Top | 3-4 |
Loss | -105 | 4 h 4 m | Show |
The Jets have done a lot more practicing than playing over the last couple of weeks, with Tuesday’s game in Washington against the Capitals just their second in the last 12 days. But while the current surge in COVID-19 cases has forced a total of nine games over the past month to be postponed and has spread to several players over that stretch, things are about to look like business as usual over the next week, with the Jets playing four games over the next six days. I need to see this Jets team play more but when we left off the Jets were not as reliable as you would like when the total is 6 |
01-18-22 |
Missouri v. Ole Miss UNDER 133.5 | Top | 78-53 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
When you handicap both of these teams it's difficult to find the area that's going to hurt us by betting the under. Missouri is hitting 25% from beyond the arc and neither team is consistent at the free throw line. Both teams are decent rebounding teams so the second chance points will at a minimum. The under is the play here. |
01-17-22 |
Penguins v. Golden Knights UNDER 6 | Top | 5-3 |
Loss | -100 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
The Golden Knights are in first place but haven’t been terribly impressive or active lately. Vegas hasn’t played in six days after a scheduled weekend trip to play two games in Canada was postponed. And the Knights are only 1-2-2 in calendar 2022 and have lost all four games this year decided by a goal. I need to see the Knights play a better brand of hockey before I go over with any confidence. |
01-17-22 |
Suns -3.5 v. Spurs | Top | 121-107 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
Since that Pistons game, the Spurs have won just two of its last 11 contests. The Spurs’ most-used starting lineup of Murray, White, Keldon Johnson, Doug McDermott and Jakob Poeltl hasn’t played together since the win over the Lakers on Dec. 23. San Antonio is getting close to being back to 100%, though. All of its starters are out of COVID health and safety protocols. Tread lightly because this number does cause me to pause. |
01-17-22 |
Predators v. Blues UNDER 6 | Top | 3-5 |
Loss | -104 | 4 h 7 m | Show |
Current form would suggest that the over is the play here, but I think you'll see Nashville getting back to a better brand of defensive hockey. Even though the game against the Bruins went over the total, I think the Preds played better than they did against the Sabres. |
01-17-22 |
Mercer v. The Citadel UNDER 152 | Top | 71-64 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 33 m | Show |
Mercer is coached well and moves the ball well on the offensive end. They should be able to get within the 75-80 mark to push this game over. Against the Bulldogs, who we know will do their part to push this over will dictate the pace enough to carry Mercer. I mistakenly pushed the under button but this is an over play. |
01-16-22 |
Warriors v. Wolves OVER 216 | Top | 99-119 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
Minnesota fell to Golden State 123-110 in the teams' first meeting this season despite a career-high 48 points from Anthony Edwards in San Francisco. Home teams have won the previous seven meetings between the two teams, with the Timberwolves winning their four previous contests at Target Center versus the Warriors. |
01-16-22 |
Jazz v. Nuggets +5 | Top | 125-102 |
Loss | -102 | 6 h 42 m | Show |
The Denver Nuggets will take on the Utah Jazz tonight in hopes of beating them for the first time this season. The two teams faced off twice this season and Utah has scored 115+ points in each matchup. While the Nugget offense has struggled frequently this season, that has not been the case against the Jazz. They scored 110 in the first matchup and 109 points in the second. |
01-16-22 |
Bradley v. Illinois State OVER 146 | Top | 65-74 |
Loss | -120 | 5 h 1 m | Show |
The Red Birds are one of the worst defensive teams in College Basketball, allowing almost 80 points per game while averaging exactly 80 on the offensive side. This number is at least 5 points off my numbers. |
