Wolves +18 v. Bucks | | 104-106 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
This is a complete mismatch but I can't see where the Bucks will be motivated in this one. They'll blow them out in the first half and go through the motions in the second. Giannis is a go but how long he'll play is a mystery. This just look like a spot where we'll get Giannis for 40 minutes or a team motivated to crush an opponent with bigger challenges ahead. |
01-01-20 |
Wyoming v. Boise State -17 | Top | 54-65 |
Loss | -115 | 4 h 27 m | Show |
Wyoming may just be one of the worst teams in College Basketball so there's no way I'm putting my money behind them in this one. Don;t get fooled by their mini 2-game streak against nobody's. Their points per possession is ranked 332nd. |
01-01-20 |
Mercer +14 v. NC-Greensboro | | 63-72 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 11 m | Show |
The Bears are reliant on Ethan Blair a little too much but Greensboro hasn't exactly been an offensive juggernaut which means 14 is a little too much to ask of them. |
01-01-20 |
Connecticut v. Cincinnati -3 | Top | 51-67 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 53 m | Show |
The Bearcats have struggled this season but this match-up will be a turning point in their season. If Jarron Cumberland finds some consistency the Bearcats will win this one going away. |
12-30-19 |
Tulane +15 v. Memphis | | 73-84 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
This is the conference opener for both teams so you would figure that a double digit dog would be an attractive play with each team focused on good starts in conference play. The Green Wave's perimeter shooting will keep them close in the this one. |
12-30-19 |
CS Sacramento v. Montana -4.5 | | 50-52 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
If the Grizzlies shoot well they win this game by double digits. Montana has won 5 straight in this series and have won those games by an average of 14 points. You know the winning formula for Montana, keep their opponents in the low 70's they win and cover games. |
12-30-19 |
Harvard v. San Francisco -5.5 | | 84-81 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 11 m | Show |
The Dons are more reliable from the field and they play a mistake brand of basketball that will give us the cover in this one. |
12-30-19 |
Idaho +10.5 v. Weber State | Top | 68-69 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 41 m | Show |
With both teams 4-8, I'm not sure I would lay double digits with either of these squads. In the Vandals loss to Idaho State they shot the ball well enough to give me the confidence that they can stay in this one. The Vandals need more dribble penetration to stay close in this one. They must own the paint. |
12-30-19 |
Northern Arizona +5 v. Montana State | Top | 61-63 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 17 m | Show |
The Lumberjacks have a big advantage inside the paint and are well coached even though their head coaching position has been in flux. I'll take the points in this close match-up. |
12-30-19 |
Southern Illinois +6.5 v. Indiana State | Top | 56-68 |
Loss | -108 | 3 h 37 m | Show |
Southern Illinois has won the last 8 meetings between these schools including a 22 pt road win last February. Southern Illinois is too tough defensively to get blown out in this one. |
12-26-19 |
Blazers +6 v. Jazz | Top | 115-121 |
Push | 0 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
Portland was held in check against the Pelicans last time out but don't let that factor in your decision tonight. The Pelicans have completely changed their style to be a better defensive team and that has worked like a charm. Portland won't shoot 13.8% from beyond the arc tonight. |
12-26-19 |
Wolves v. Kings -4.5 | | 105-104 |
Loss | -109 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
The Kings have lost four straight games as they fall in danger of a playoff spot. This is a spot where they need to beat a team like Minnesota or they don't deserve to find themselves in the postseason. Harrison Barnes needs to start being the player that the Kings signed him to be. |
12-26-19 |
Spurs v. Mavs -6.5 | | 98-102 |
Loss | -107 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
Even though they haven't played well of late the mavericks have too much offense for the Spurs. Don't be fooled by their 145 points against Memphis because that was not the norm. Luka Doncic returns for the Mavs. |
12-26-19 |
Grizzlies +6.5 v. Thunder | Top | 110-97 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
Memphis is one of the few teams who are completely healthy. The Grizz were crushing the Thunder a week ago until a complete collapse allowed the Thunder overcome a 21-pt deficit. Memphis will not allow that to happen again and we know they can score against the Thunder so lets take take the points. |
12-26-19 |
Knicks v. Nets -7.5 | | 94-82 |
Loss | -113 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
Let's see if the Brooklyn Nets can build off of their fourth quarter comeback against the Atlanta Hawks, Saturday. New York is fresh off a loss to the depleted Washington Wizards so there's no way I can back the Knicks in many games. |
12-26-19 |
Wizards v. Pistons -7 | Top | 102-132 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
Whether it's a suspension or numerous injuries the Wizards are shorthanded, not good for a team who is just 9-20. A week ago the Wizards embarrassed the Pistons so this is also a revenge spot. Pistons get a double digit win. |
12-25-19 |
Pelicans +9 v. Nuggets | Top | 112-100 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
The Pelicans have been incredible on the defensive end so getting 9 points is extremely attractive.
Their pace of play has been much better so they should easily stay within the nine. |
12-25-19 |
Houston -1 v. Washington | Top | 75-71 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
Very few teams are as efficient on the offensive end than Houston led by their big time star, Brison Gresham, who is a a menace inside. He'll get a lot of looks against the Washington zone. |
12-25-19 |
Clippers v. Lakers -1.5 | | 111-106 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 28 m | Show |
The Lakers were blasted by the Denver Nuggets, at home, so they should be plenty motivated to break their 3-game losing streak while extending the Clippers losing ways. This is also a revenge spot for the Lakers after dropping the previous meeting by 10. |
12-25-19 |
Georgia Tech -1 v. Hawaii | Top | 70-53 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show |
The Jackets are need of a win and this is a Rainbows team that can be had. Look for them to try and use their size and athleticism down low to free up better looks from beyond the arc. |
12-25-19 |
Rockets -10.5 v. Warriors | Top | 104-116 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 35 m | Show |
It's hard to take points with the Warriors at home. This was supposed to be a marquee Christmas match-up but instead we have a Rockets team who is easily the more talented on paper. Golden State hasn't beaten a team over .500 all season, a streak that won't stop today. |
12-21-19 |
Western Carolina v. Tennessee Tech +6 | | 89-76 |
Loss | -105 | 1 h 23 m | Show |
Against Xavier, Western Carolina was extremely sloppy and until I know they've shored that up I can't lay six points on the road against a Golden Eagle team, who despite the loss to Lipscomb, played with enough defensive intensity to anticipate that they could force another sloppy performance from the Catamounts. |
12-21-19 |
UC-Davis +13.5 v. San Francisco | Top | 84-93 |
Win | 100 | 1 h 14 m | Show |
The Aggies are coming off their best win of the season against Loyola Marymount. It was their best win from a team standpoint because they received contributions from their depth players in addition to a solid effort from the starters. Joe Mooney will play better, even though he still contributed. Let's get the double digits and see if the Aggies can build off their big win. |
12-21-19 |
Norfolk State v. Drexel -4.5 | Top | 49-53 |
Loss | -109 | 1 h 3 m | Show |
Norfolk State has lost 8 of their last 9 games. most;y because they're not a very good shooting team. If it wasn't for their average shooting from beyond the arc and their defense, they wouldn't be in many games. Drexel has covered 7 of their last 9 as a favorite and even though they take some possessions off defensively they certainly have enough to cover this number. |
12-17-19 |
Seattle University +16 v. Washington | Top | 59-81 |
Loss | -103 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
The Huskies are coming off a long break against a Redhawks team that looks at this game as one of the bigger games on their schedule. Seattle lives and dies with their perimeter shooting and that will be the case tonight but their success from beyond the arc will be determined by their ability to get the ball down low where they are lethal. |
12-17-19 |
Portland State +8 v. Pepperdine | Top | 71-77 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
This will be a high tempo game which means that any physical advantage that the Waves may have won't be much of a factor in a transition game. Even though the Wave have struggled to get to the .500 mark this season I think we'll catch them napping a bit after two straight wins. |
12-17-19 |
Cal-Irvine +2.5 v. UTEP | | 61-67 |
Loss | -109 | 5 h 43 m | Show |
Big win and cover for UTEP last night but their luck runs out here against Irvine who are looking to win their 5th game in 6 tries. Irvine plays well enough on both sides of the ball to make the Miners uncomfortable. Their 48% from the field and 31% from beyond the arc is just enough to get them the win in this one. |
12-17-19 |
Miami-FL +3 v. Temple | Top | 78-77 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 16 m | Show |
We've seen what Miami can do against good competition (Illinois), I don't expect them to hit almost 60% of their shots tonight but I do think something around the 48-50 range will get them the outright win here. That will be tough against the owls defense but Miami is improved on that end as well. I think they get the outright win here. |
12-17-19 |
Magic +7 v. Jazz | | 102-109 |
Push | 0 | 4 h 42 m | Show |
I think the Magic play just enough defense to keep this game close. Orlando has been playing better than Utah with the Jazz still a bit of a dissapointment. They have been much more tenacious on the defensive end which means they could steal a win in Utah. |
12-17-19 |
Nebraska-Omaha +7 v. Eastern Washington | Top | 56-97 |
Loss | -102 | 4 h 33 m | Show |
After a convincing win against Multnomah, Eastern Washington is coming back to Earth with a real game against a real team. On paper this doesn't look close but I think the Mavericks catch the Eagles napping after scoring almost 150 points in their previous game. |
12-16-19 |
Loyola Marymount v. UC-Davis | Top | 65-67 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
I don't think the Lions will get 29 trips to the free throw line to pull out a win tonight as they did against Prairie View A&M. The Aggies are much better than they showed against San Diego and are in a revenge spot after dropping last years contest to the Lions by 18. |
12-16-19 |
UC-Santa Barbara v. Idaho State +6 | Top | 74-68 |
Push | 0 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
The Gauchos are off to a decent start but they still need to prove that they can win on the road and this is a good test against the Bengals who have won both of their games at Reed Gym. Shut down Amadou Sow and this will be a SU win for Idaho State. |
12-16-19 |
North Carolina A&T v. UTEP -17 | | 54-72 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
The Aggies just dropped a 31 point game to Bradley so not much about that performance makes me want to put my money behind them tonight. This is a horrible offensive team who scores in the mid 50's on most nights, ranking them 348th in offensive. Take the Miners as they improve to 7-1 on the season. |
12-16-19 |
Blazers v. Suns +1 | | 111-110 |
Push | 0 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
In Portland loss to the Nuggets I thought there was a general lack of effort on their part which led to their 15-pt loss. I understand that injuries have hurt this team on the glass but there are things that just say this team has no interest in second chance points. For Phoenix, they likely can't wait to get back on the court after losing to the Spurs in overtime. I'll take the Suns at home. |
12-16-19 |
Evansville v. Jacksonville State +4.5 | | 59-85 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show |
Disrupt DeAndre Williams and the Purple Aces are without one of the country's most efficient offensive players. This number looks a little suspect to me, usually indicating that there are underlying factors that are not made public. |
12-16-19 |
Mavs v. Bucks -10.5 | | 120-116 |
Loss | -103 | 3 h 51 m | Show |
Luka Doncic is out for the Mavericks as the Bucks will miss out on having to face yet another star due to injuries. Donte DiVencenzo will run the Bucks offense which will not be that big of a drop off so don't put too much into the Bledsoe injury. |
12-16-19 |
Heat -3.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 111-118 |
Loss | -107 | 3 h 43 m | Show |
The spread is going in the way of memphis because of the mass amount of injuries the Heat have but I don't think it'll matter in this match-up but we'll sure take the better of the line. Pump the breaks on the Grizzly hot streak. They still give up too many points for me. |
12-15-19 |
SE Missouri State +7.5 v. Youngstown State | | 50-65 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
The Redhawks are 5-0 ATS the game after a SU loss and 16-4-1 ATS in Sunday match-ups. The Penguins are just 2-5 ATS last 7 after a SU loss and are 1-5-1 ATS last 7 overall. |
12-15-19 |
Missouri State +11.5 v. VCU | Top | 51-61 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show |
The Bears record may reflect how well they've played this season which is why I think double digits are too much to lay in this one. They play just enough defense to keep this one close. |
12-15-19 |
Long Beach State v. USC -17 | | 76-87 |
Loss | -110 | 1 h 27 m | Show |
Long beach State was horrible on the defensive end against Pacific and until that changes I can't take 17 points and feel comfortable. USC edged TCU in their last game but this is a great bounceback spot coming off a game where they hit almost 60% from the field. Hit shooting Trojans lay it to the 49ers by 20. |
12-15-19 |
Ohio State -7 v. Minnesota | Top | 71-84 |
Loss | -109 | 1 h 11 m | Show |
The only question remaining for the Ohio State Buckeyes is can they win on the road in conference play, they get their chance to mark that off the list with a win against the Gophers. Ohio State put 106 points in their last outing, covering easy. This is a juggernaut offense that I can't bet against. |
12-14-19 |
Gonzaga +2.5 v. Arizona | | 84-80 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
Expect the Bulldogs to attack the rim putting the Wildcats in foul trouble throughout. The first time Arizona faced some competition on their level they dropped a match-up against Baylor. |
12-14-19 |
Fresno State v. Cal Poly +8.5 | Top | 62-37 |
Loss | -109 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
The Mustangs played well defensively against Siena, holding the to 43% shooting. The win broke a losing streak and now the Mustangs look to start a winning streak. I'll take the Mustangs at home, with the generous points. |
12-14-19 |
Stanford v. San Jose State +17 | | 78-58 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 48 m | Show |
The Mustangs played well defensively against Siena, holding the to 43% shooting. The win broke a losing streak and now the Mustangs look to start a winning streak. I'll take the Mustangs at home, with the generous points. |
12-14-19 |
New Mexico State v. New Mexico -3.5 | | 62-69 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show |
The Lobos have won eight straight times at The Pit, so they feel very comfortable that they can do it again. To me, this is the best Lobos team that I've seen in years.If the Lobo's play defensively the way they did against Wyoming this will be a 10-pt win. |
12-14-19 |
Evansville +2.5 v. Green Bay | Top | 72-62 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show |
Evansville will run a high tempo offense that was lethal against Miami-Ohio. When their 3's are going down and they control the boards like they did against the Red Hawks, the Purple Aces are lethal. Evansville put up 90 in the win tonight. |
12-14-19 |
Drake +15.5 v. Dayton | Top | 47-78 |
Loss | -105 | 4 h 4 m | Show |
The 8-2 Bulldogs can prove that their early season success is not a fluke with a quality performance tonight against the 7-1 Flyers. Drake has been fantastic ATS on Saturdays, covering 19 of their last 25. |
12-13-19 |
Warriors v. Jazz -13.5 | | 106-114 |
Loss | -100 | 5 h 0 m | Show |
The Warriors have dropped 8 of their last 10 games and are feeling the lack of star power that they normally have. Starting the season just 5-20 the Warriors face a Jazz team that needs to get mentally healthy with a big win tonight. |
12-13-19 |
Colorado -5.5 v. Colorado State | | 56-48 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 27 m | Show |
Expect the Buffaloes to take it right to the middle against the Rams 6-11 center, Nico Carvacho. They run a 3 guard offense that should be able to penetrate the paint. I think Carvacho will be in foul trouble trying to defend against the quicker Buffs. Colorado is coming in off a loss to Northern Iowa, they get back on track tonight in a double digit win. |
12-13-19 |
UT-Rio Grande Valley v. Creighton -18 | Top | 58-89 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
This is a huge step up in competition for the Vaqueros, which is a cowboy if you're wondering. They ranked 313 in offensive efficiency and 166th in defensive efficiency, and that's with a horrible schedule. This will be a 20+ point win for Creighton. |
12-13-19 |
Nebraska v. Indiana -17 | Top | 90-96 |
Loss | -115 | 4 h 43 m | Show |
The Hoosiers are undefeated at home while the Huskers haven't demonstrated that they can be a reliable road play. There should be a little chip on the shoulder of the Hoosiers who have dropped three straight to Nebraska. Nebraska is just 3-6 ATS with a new system. Take Indiana. |
12-12-19 |
Northern Iowa -6 v. Grand Canyon | | 82-58 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
Northern Iowa is coming off a win against #20 Colorado on Tuesday. The Panthers are one of the most disciplined teams in the country led by one of the most underrated coaches in America, Ben Jacobson. The Antelopes were impressive against Liberty but this one is covered by Northern Iowa. |
12-12-19 |
76ers -1.5 v. Celtics | | 115-109 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show |
Philly has won 7 of their last 8 meetings. The Sixers are facing a Celtic team with health concerns while Philadelphia is healthier and more rested. |
12-12-19 |
Iowa +4 v. Iowa State | Top | 84-68 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 35 m | Show |
The Hawkeyes come int this one winning 6 of their last 8 games. The Cyclones have been less than reliable at the charity stripe and Iowa is too efficient from beyond the arc. Iowa wins straight up. |
12-12-19 |
Austin Peay v. West Virginia -15 | | 53-84 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 41 m | Show |
WV suffered their first loss against St.Johns so they should be focused to make a statement against a team they have the clear advantage against. The Governors aren't going to shoot over 50% in this one. |
12-09-19 |
Grizzlies +3 v. Warriors | Top | 110-102 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
Ja Morant returns to the Grizzlies line-up after missing the last four games. They'll face a depleted Warriors team who went from being an automatic wager every night to an automatic go against. Memphis puts 19 points back in the line-up as they win outright. |
12-09-19 |
Wolves +4 v. Suns | Top | 109-125 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
Minnesota has actually been a decent road team this season and when you give me points against a team that they may have a slight talent edge, I'll take that everyday. If they could find a way to play better defensively they just might be well over .500. Towns and Wiggins too talented to allow the Suns to get a win. |
12-09-19 |
Pistons +1 v. Pelicans | | 105-103 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 15 m | Show |
Pelicans have dropped 8 straight games, doesn't need to be more clear than that. Detroit is healthier than they've been in awhile are starting to gel. They've even been better on the defensive end. |
12-09-19 |
Raptors v. Bulls +6.5 | | 93-92 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 1 m | Show |
This is the first time in over a year that Toronto has lost 3 straight games and until that changes I'll take the points. Believe it or not, Toronto hasn't been the same the return of Kyle Lowry who took the place of Fred VanVleet. I've said it 1000 times, don't bet on team with name players coming back until the chemistry is right again. |
12-09-19 |
Magic v. Bucks -12.5 | Top | 101-110 |
Loss | -105 | 4 h 59 m | Show |
Complete mismatch here despite the Magic playing their best basketball of the season. That may have helped us here with the number being at least a point to a point and a half lower than I expected. Orlando has no answer for Giannis. |
12-09-19 |
Kings v. Rockets -12.5 | Top | 119-118 |
Loss | -106 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
There are a few in the media who is calling out Russell Westbrook and how effective he is on the offensive end. That bodes well for our wager because Westbrook is going to put up huge numbers, sending us to the cashiers cage. Look for the Rockets to be in transition most of the night. There is no scoring combination that can keep up with Houston. |
12-09-19 |
Cavs v. Celtics -14 | | 88-110 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show |
The first match-up was close, the second will not be. Cleveland lost the first meeting by 6 (119-113) as they travel to Boston to take on a Celtics team who is a perfect 9-0 at home. Cleveland was crushed by almost 50 points against the Sixers. I will never back a team that has that in them |
12-07-19 |
Grizzlies +12 v. Jazz | Top | 112-126 |
Loss | -115 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
You will have some motivation with a couple Grizzlies in this one after Jae Crowder and Grayson Allen were traded to Memphis from Utah last Summer. With both teams in a slump its hard to lay double digits with Utah who has dropped 5 of 6. In losses, memphis has looked better than Utah so lets take the generous amount of points. |
12-07-19 |
Suns v. Rockets -10.5 | Top | 109-115 |
Loss | -117 | 4 h 51 m | Show |
The Rockets dominate home home and will again in a complete mismatch. Houston has beaten Phoenix 11 straight times. The NBA's 3rd ranked offensive will have this won by halftime. |
12-07-19 |
Pacers v. Knicks +6 | Top | 104-103 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show |
David Fizdale is out as coach of the New York Knicks and I'm right on them because nothing sends a message to players more than a coach being fired. Mike Miller now has the keys. Expect a better defensive effort from the Knicks because that's where they need to start, it's also Miller's reputation as a coach. |
12-07-19 |
Cavs +11.5 v. 76ers | Top | 94-141 |
Loss | -115 | 3 h 51 m | Show |
As good as the Sixers have played this season they have been an unreliable wager which doesn't inspire me to lay double digits. Cleveland is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings. If the Sixers can't be the Wizards how will they cover 11.5 against Cleveland. |
12-05-19 |
Northern Illinois v. St. Mary's -14.5 | | 49-61 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
We have seen the Huskies rip off six straight wins but nothing yet against quality opponents. They get another shot tonight to change that. I still think the home loss to Winthrop has given this squad a shot in the arm. I don't think the Huskies, who are still not a very good basketball team, are good enough to stay with the Gaels on the offensive end. |
12-05-19 |
South Dakota State v. Montana State | Top | 70-77 |
Loss | -105 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
South Dakota is just 6-4 on the season but every one of their losses came from power conference opponents. Look for the Jackrabbits to own the paint in this one. South Dakota has covered 8 of their last 10 games against teams with a .600 win percentage or more. |
12-05-19 |
Furman v. Auburn -12 | Top | 78-81 |
Loss | -109 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
Furman doesn't have the depth to stay with Auburn. We saw early in the week that if the Paladins don't get contributions from their best plays the scoring depth doesn't pick up the slack. Too much offense from the Tigers for Furman to stay close in the second half. |
12-04-19 |
Utah State -22.5 v. San Jose State | Top | 71-59 |
Loss | -109 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
The Aggies are coming off their first loss of the season against St.Mary's, which makes me believe that the talented Aggies will rebound easily. No way this below average Spartans offense will find enough space to stay close against one of the country's best defensive teams. |
12-03-19 |
Arizona State v. San Francisco | Top | 71-67 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show |
Arizona State has been a good team to back coming off a ATS loss, covering 7 of their last 8 in this situation. The Dons have failed to cover 7 straight games off a SU loss and are just 2-7-1 ATS against the Pac-12 in their last 10 games. |
12-02-19 |
South Dakota v. Washington -12.5 | Top | 55-75 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
The Huskies are well rested after a week off as they face a week defensive team in the Coyotes. The Huskies have too much size for South Dakota to stay close in the second half. |

Clemson v. Minnesota -3 | | 60-78 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
I don't see how the Tigers can contain Daniel Oturu inside. Oturu will single handedly carry the Gophers to a win and cover. His presence will force the Tigers into foul trouble for most of the second half. |
12-02-19 |
Knicks v. Bucks -16.5 | | 88-132 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 53 m | Show |
The Knicks are a horrific 16-34-1 ATS against teams with a winning percentage over .600 and have failed to cover 4 of the last 5 meetings against the Bucks. Too much defense in the paint for the Knicks to get many good looks tonight. |
12-01-19 |
Wizards +12.5 v. Clippers | Top | 125-150 |
Loss | -110 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
I tend to back teams on the second of back to back nights, especially after a loss. Historically teams want to get back at it to eradicate a loss. The Wizards have even more of an advantage considering they didn't have to tavel after losing to the Lakers Saturday. I anticipate Bradley Beal getting back to his usual 30-pt night against the Clippers who are just 3-8 ATS playing on one days rest. |
12-01-19 |
San Diego v. St Bonaventure -3.5 | | 61-70 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
The goal will be to stop Kyle Lofton for San Diego. If they do that then they'll cruise to a win. Lofton has factored into 47% of the Bonnies scoring this season. I'm betting on the Toreros depth in this one but get to it quickly because the number keeps going up. |
12-01-19 |
Wake Forest v. Arizona -12 | Top | 66-73 |
Loss | -109 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
Despite the win against Long Beach State. there was nothing spectacular about the Deacons shooting from beyond the arc (4-21). That leads me to tonight's selection because if Wake Forest can't shoot well to stay close in this one I can't see anything happening except a 15 point Wildcat win. Long Beach was lazy on defense leading to 24 Wake Forest points from the stripe. That won't happen tonight. |
12-01-19 |
San Jose State v. UCLA -21.5 | | 64-93 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show |
The Bruins have dropped 3 of their last 4 games but should view this one as a match-up that they can handle with ease.
The Spartans are too erratic on the offensive end to feel comfortable even with 22 points. |
12-01-19 |
Nebraska-Omaha v. St. Mary's -15.5 | Top | 66-75 |
Loss | -106 | 5 h 3 m | Show |
The Gaels have won 6 straight games, including a huge win against #15 Utah State. Nebraska is statistically one of the worst defensive teams in the country so anticipate a 20-point blowout from the Gaels who are one of the best in offensive efficiency. |
12-01-19 |
Harvard v. USC -1.5 | Top | 62-77 |
Win | 102 | 3 h 56 m | Show |
Perhaps Maryland showed that a more athletic team can control the glass and ultimately the game. USC will show what they have after being embarrassed by Marquette by 22 points. Trojans control pace putting the Crimson in and uncomfortable position. |
11-29-19 |
Pennsylvania v. Arizona -11.5 | Top | 82-92 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 5 m | Show |
Known for their perimeter shooting, the Quakers haven't quite lived up to that reputation until their last game against Central Florida. I need to see them do it again before I regain confidence that the undersized Quakers can make up for that with their daggers from 3. Take the Cats. |
11-27-19 |
Virginia Tech -1 v. BYU | Top | 77-90 |
Loss | -110 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
The Hokies have been an incredible 18-8 ATS in their last 26 non-conference games and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Neutral site games.
The Flyers had to shoot 77% from inside the arc to knock off the unbeaten Hokies. This is still the team that knocked off Clemson and Michigan State. They win this one going away. |
11-25-19 |
BYU v. UCLA -1.5 | Top | 78-63 |
Loss | -109 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
The Cougars are just 19-40-1 in their last 60 Neutral site games ATS. Perimeter defense will be the key for the Bruins against BYU. Don't let their effort against Hofstra fool you, this will be a Bruin team ready to avenge an embarrassing defensive effort. |
11-21-19 |
Pelicans +4 v. Suns | Top | 124-121 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
The road team in this series has covered 9 of their 12 meetings while the Pelicans have covered 6 of the last 8 head to head. The Pelicans are not good defensively but thats due to the fact that their pace of play is as fast as anyone in the league. This will be a high scoring affair but the Pelicans cover. |
11-20-19 |
Fresno State +9 v. St. Mary's | | 58-68 |
Loss | -110 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
The Bulldogs have covered 21 of their last 30 non-conference games Despite winning their last two games this is still a Gaels team who dropped a game against Winthrop at home. I don't yet have the confidence to lay 9 on the road. |
11-20-19 |
San Diego State -7 v. San Diego | Top | 66-49 |
Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
The Aztecs are 10-4 ATS after an ATS win and have now covered 7-10 of their last 10 following a SU win. The Toreros lost 4 seniors off last seasons squad and until I see they've overcome those losses I will not be backing San Diego in most cases. |
11-20-19 |
Portland v. Portland State -6 | Top | 82-75 |
Loss | -109 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
The Vikings have covered 8 straight home games and 8 of 10 against the West Coast Confrence. The favorite in this series has covered 6 of 8. |
11-20-19 |
UC-Santa Barbara +10 v. Oregon State | | 67-78 |
Loss | -109 | 8 h 14 m | Show |
The Gauchos have covered 20 of their last 27 non-conference games and 16 of 22 against teams with a win percentage over .600. The Beavers have failed to cover 7 of their last 10 home games. There should be plenty of fire and focus from SB after losing their last game to Rice after holding a 22-pt lead. |
11-20-19 |
BYU v. Boise State -1 | | 68-72 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
The Cougars on one the most unreliable covers in the nation. After a cover the Cougars are just 16-35-1 ATS after an ATS cover. Boise has won 9 of their last 10 against the West Coast conference. Don't let recent games blind you in picking the right side of this one. |
11-20-19 |
Texas State v. UNLV -4 | Top | 64-57 |
Loss | -105 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
UNLV shot 54% against Abilene Christian in what has been their best performance this season on both ends of the court. I need to see more consistency from the Bobcats. UNLV covers this one. |
11-20-19 |
Rockets +1.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 95-105 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
The Rockets are 9-3 ATS after a SU win of 10 points or more while the Nuggets are just 2-6 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. The Rockets have covered 6 of their last 7 meetings. The Nuggets have an impressive record (9-3) but of their 9 wins none are on the level of the Rockets leaving the Nuggets with something to prove. |
11-20-19 |
Arkansas State +12.5 v. Colorado State | | 80-78 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
The Red Wolves have covered 7 of their last 9 non-conference games while the Rams are just 18-40-2 ATS against non-conference opponents. I'll trust the Wolves depth to keep this one close against a Rams team who is off to a good start but still needs to show that they've mved on from last seasons horrible season. |
11-20-19 |
The Citadel v. Illinois -27 | Top | 57-85 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
The Bulldogs are just 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 games. Illinois has to cut down on turnovers but their size difference will lead the Illini to an easy cover. |
11-19-19 |
CS Bakersfield v. San Francisco -10.5 | | 70-100 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
The Roadrunners have been a horrible play, failing to cover 10 of their last 13 games while the Dons are 10-4-1 ATS against teams with a winning percentage of .400 or less on the road. This will be a close cover but my power ratings indicate that this is clear cut late winner. |
11-19-19 |
Texas-Arlington v. Gonzaga -24 | Top | 66-72 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
The Mavericks have failed to cover 8 of their last 11 non-conference games and 5 of 7 on the road. The Bulldogs are 17-6 after wins of 20 or more. The Bulldogs have won their first four games by at least 30 points. That streak continues tonight. |
11-18-19 |
Southern Utah v. UCLA -11.5 | Top | 61-76 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
Former UNLV assistant, Miles Simon, has done an amazing job at Southern Utah but let's not go overboard with a win against a horrible Nebraska team and a near win against BYU. I expect the Thunderbirds to be in a position to have to play catch-up which is where they fall short. If there has been any negative to the Thunderbirds its their ineffectiveness from beyond the arc. UCLA wins eas |
11-18-19 |
Thunder v. Clippers -9.5 | | 88-90 |
Loss | -105 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
The Clippers have covered 6 straight home games and 14 of 20 against teams with a losing record. The favorite in this series has covered 8 of 9. I don't want to get excited about a single win but after a 49 point victory against the Hawks, it at least erases the negativity that the Clippers bread on the road of late. If they continue their defensive intensity this will be an easy cover. |
11-18-19 |
Wolves +10 v. Jazz | | 112-102 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
Minnesota has been a reliable road wager of late, covering 7 of their last 9 trips. The T'wolves have also covered 9 of their last 13 trips to Salt Lake. The Jazz have yet to win at home this year while the Timberwolves should be plenty salty after a loss to the Wizards. |
11-18-19 |
Air Force v. TCU -16 | | 54-65 |
Loss | -109 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
Dana Lane is making his move in College Basketball tonight in an effort to claim back to back College Basketball titles. Dana has crushed 55% winners since July 31st and over 60% Best bet winners over the last 24 days. he's among the College Hoops leaders this season but he won't be satisfied until he regains his top spot. |
11-18-19 |
Cal-Irvine v. Colorado -10.5 | Top | 53-69 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Colorado is 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and 10-3 ATS against teams with a winning record. The Buffs has only played once this season but I'm willing to back a team that looked efficient on offense. They won't have an issue in this one. |
