George Mason +7.5 v. Davidson | Top | 62-73 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
The Patriots are one of those teams I've been riding as an underdog for a while now, with tonight being no exception. George Mason has won 4 straight as a road dog and is 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 as a dog overall. The Wildcats are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 as a favorite. |
03-02-22 |
Rutgers +5.5 v. Indiana | Top | 66-63 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
Once again, we're going to go back to one of my favorite trends for this easy winner. Rutgers as a dog has been a fantastic follow winning 7 of their last 8 with a push. They are on a small 3-1-1 ATS run as a road dog, while the Hoosiers have dropped 5 straight vs a team with a winning SU record. |
03-02-22 |
Notre Dame v. Florida State UNDER 139.5 | Top | 70-74 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
The Seminoles will win this game only if they protect the perimeter, this is where the Irish has lived and died for years under Mike Brey. This is a spot where I like to play the under because you have the Irish coming in off of 5 straight overs while the Seminoles have been involved in 4 of 5. This number is begging you to take the over, we're not going to fall for this. |
03-01-22 |
Arizona v. USC +5 | Top | 91-71 |
Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
The Trojans have always been a team that I like to play as a dog, especially at home. USC has covered 5 straight games as a dog overall and 5-1 ATS at home when they are playing a team that is playing .600 ball or more. USC wins this outright. |
03-01-22 |
CS-Northridge v. UC-Santa Barbara UNDER 134 | Top | 61-70 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
This is another spot where the number is too high to bait you into taking an over. Northridge has played 7 overs in their last 9 games while the Gauchos have played in 5 of 6. Don't fall for the trap, this game is going under. |
03-01-22 |
Southern Utah v. Montana State UNDER 147 | Top | 53-69 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
Another situation where the oddsmakers set the number too high, hoping to catch the public riding the current overs streaks. The Thunderbirds have cashed 5 overs in their last 7 games with a push, while the Bobcats have played in 4 straight overs. We're not getting sucked into this bad number. |
03-01-22 |
Miami-OH v. Central Michigan UNDER 148.5 | Top | 75-61 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
This is a game that screams over but you have to know when trends will stop, and another will begin. This number is too rich for me even though the RedHawks are coming off six straight overs, while the Chippewas have played in back-to-back overs. This number is begging you to take the bait but we're going to be smarter than that tonight. |
03-01-22 |
Providence +9.5 v. Villanova | Top | 74-76 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
Providence is another team I like to play when they're an underdog. Providence is 9-1 ATS as a dog and a perfect 6-0 ATS as a road dog. The Wildcats are just 2-5 ATS as a favorite in their last 7 and just 1-3-1 ATS overall. |
02-28-22 |
Kansas State +12.5 v. Texas Tech | Top | 68-73 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show |
The Wildcats are one of those teams who I like to play when they're a large underdogs, cashing 10 of 14 as an underdog. They are also 9-2 as a road dog in their last 11. I'm going to continue following this trend as I have all season. |
02-28-22 |
San Diego State v. Wyoming +2.5 | Top | 73-66 |
Loss | -110 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
This is another selection backed by a trend that has cashed an exact 80% this season. The Cowboys have been a terrific underdog this season and have been on the 'play on' underdog list most of the season. The Cowboys are now 24-7 ATS as an underdog, including 5 of 6 at home. |
02-28-22 |
Baylor v. Texas UNDER 135 | Top | 68-61 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
Both of these teams are coming is as clear over selections, Texas has played in 9 over's in their last 13 games while the Bears have cashed 3 of 5 overs. Expect the public to be all over this trend but we're going under back by another trend that has cashed 76%. |
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. |
02-25-22 |
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. |
02-23-22 |
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 |
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. |
02-17-22 |
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 |
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. |
02-09-22 |
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. |
02-07-22 |
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. |
02-01-22 |
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. |
01-30-22 |
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 |
01-29-22 |
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 |
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. |
01-26-22 |
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. |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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. |
01-16-22 |
Loyola Maryland v. Lehigh UNDER 134.5 | Top | 69-57 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 7 m | Show |
Two of the worst offensive in College Basketball get together with a number that's pretty close to what I expected it to be, but I just can't imagine either stringing enough positive possessions together to push this game under. |
01-15-22 |
Bethune-Cookman v. Mississippi Valley State UNDER 141.5 | Top | 62-60 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 16 m | Show |
The Delta Devils quite possibly have the worst defensive team in the country, too bad they're playing a Wildcats team who could make the case for being one of the worst offensive teams in College Basketball. I envision a sloppy game that will easily get us another ticket cashed. |
01-15-22 |
Houston Baptist v. McNeese State UNDER 141.5 | Top | 75-78 |
Loss | -105 | 2 h 5 m | Show |
The Cowboys are finally able to get a legit home game after their arena was damaged by Hurricane Laura and Delta in 2020. Houston Baptist will be what the doctor ordered as emotions and energy will be high, I think that leads to a tough defensive game. This number is way off my power ratings with or without the excitement surrounding the arena. |
01-15-22 |
UL - Lafayette v. Texas State UNDER 137.5 | Top | 68-72 |
Loss | -110 | 1 h 2 m | Show |
Sometimes it takes a minute to put my games up because I actually, wait for it, handicap games. When College Basketball hits it makes it more time consuming, so I do apologize for the plays getting out a little later. It's more important that I'm right than early, something I was taught a long time ago in the media world. The reason I bring this up is because that extra work has found this gem. I never care who's playing as long as the match is right. I have the bookmakers off at least 5-7 points in this one, so we're going to make them pay for that oversight. |
01-13-22 |
Northern Kentucky v. Youngstown State UNDER 137.5 | Top | 68-67 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show |
The Norse have shot 40% from the field this season making them one of the worst offensive teams in College Basketball. They're not great defensively either but they are playing a Penguins team that doesn't have enough weapons to take advantage. |
01-12-22 |
NC State v. Louisville UNDER 149.5 | Top | 79-63 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
In their earlier meeting, NC State made 50% of its two-point attempts against a pretty good Cardinal's defense, and that was despite Dereon Seabron shooting only 4-13 inside the arc. NC State has shot 50% or better inside the arc exactly one time since this game. Louisville, meanwhile, shot only 43.8% inside the arc. I don't expect either to happen again, but I do expect another under with the books making a 12-pt adjustment from game one. |
01-11-22 |
Central Arkansas v. Bellarmine UNDER 150 | Top | 63-85 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
Belllarmine is one of the best teams in College Basketball at limiting opposition possessions. My sources say that pace of game will dictate that this will not come anywhere near the outrageous total. |
01-10-22 |
Western Carolina v. East Tennessee State OVER 150 | Top | 69-87 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
These are two of the worst defensive teams in College Basketball which is why the total is so high. The bookmakers are begging you to take the under but we're sharper than that because we know the pace of the game will easily be an over pace. |

Seattle University -9.5 v. Chicago State | Top | 93-77 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show |
In games played through Jan. 3, Seattle U ranks among the nation's top 50 in five team categories: 15th in 3-pt FG per game (10.5)19th in 3-pt FGs made (137)32nd in 3-pt FG attempts (371)42nd in turnover margin (3.5)45th in assist to turnover ratio (1.33) |

Tenn-Martin v. Tennessee State -5 | Top | 94-78 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 24 m | Show |
Tennessee State is one of the better offenses in College Basketball as they face one of the worst defenses. Tennessee State isn't much better but I'm not sure Martin has the ability to exploit State's weakness. |
01-06-22 |
Binghamton v. Albany -4 | Top | 88-79 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 5 m | Show |
Back to my old stomping grounds for this match-up. The Great Danes are one of the bets in College Basketball in limiting opponents possesions which works in their hands because Binghamtion isn't a team that will push the pace. Albany opens this one up in the second half. |
01-04-22 |
Colgate v. Lehigh +9.5 | Top | 81-85 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
It's hard to understand why this number is so high with both teams being an unreliable source of offense and with Colgate being one of the worst defensive teams in College Basketball. |
01-03-22 |
Maryland v. Iowa UNDER 151.5 | Top | 75-80 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
This is an Iowa team that will put up and give up a lot of points but with this being Maryland's first true road test of the season, I'm not sure if they can do their part getting us over the total. I need to see how they react in a hostile environment when they haven't exactly been a model of consistency at home or in their Neutral site games. |
01-02-22 |
Dartmouth +5 v. Cornell | Top | 71-79 |
Loss | -108 | 1 h 26 m | Show |
This one is simple. Dartmouth needs to slow down one of the efficient offenses in the country, something they've struggled with this season. This number looks funny to me so we're not going to pass against what the bookmakers are clearly trying to feed you in this one. |
01-01-22 |
Northern Colorado +6.5 v. Southern Utah | Top | 91-81 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
The Thunderbirds have been a profitable spread team this season but when asked to cover a bigger number like this one they are just 2-4 ATS. They're are not a great shooting team so the Bears will have their chances to stay close. NC is 7-4-1 against the number this year. |
01-01-22 |
Nebraska-Omaha +18 v. Oral Roberts | Top | 62-107 |
Loss | -117 | 5 h 31 m | Show |
For as bad as the Mavericks have been this season, Oral Roberts is a turnover machine and can't be trusted to cover such a big number. If there's one strength of the Mavericks it's they are well-coached and not sloppy. This will prove too large of a number. |
01-01-22 |
Tulane +9.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 68-60 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 22 m | Show |
After nearly two weeks off due to the holidays and COVID-19 postponements, Cincinnati (10-3) opens up its AAC schedule with Tulane (4-6) on Saturday night. UC faced the daunting task of traveling to No. 12 Houston on Tuesday, but injuries and COVID-19 issues caused the game's postponement. The Green Wave had issues of their own in early December due to the virus, but they are healthy now and looked it in their 85-84 upset win over Memphis to start their AAC schedule. |
12-30-21 |
UTEP v. UAB UNDER 138 | Top | 62-75 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 32 m | Show |
I suspect that UAB will get their points but on the other side of the ball the Miners are ranked 296th in FG% going against a Blazers team who are one of the Elite defensive teams in the country. |
12-29-21 |
Illinois State v. Wisconsin -16.5 | Top | 85-89 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 22 m | Show |
Playing for the first time since Dec. 15, No. 24 Wisconsin (9-2) returns to action to face Illinois State (8-5) in the final non-conference tune-up. Illinois State is likely going to have a ton of problems on the glass against Wisconsin. The Redbirds are one of the worst rebounding teams in the country, allowing 11.4 offensive boards per contest, which ranks No. 345 in college basketball out of 358 teams. In fact, their opponents get about 32 percent of this misses back. Meanwhile, the Badgers are having one of their best years in recent memory on the offensive glass. UW has already posted seven games of double-digit offensive boards. By comparison, this is something the Badgers did just eight times in 2020-21 with an experienced frontcourt. When UW hits 10 or more offensive rebounds, they are 6-1 this season, with the lone loss coming against Providence without Davis. |
12-28-21 |
North Alabama v. Gonzaga OVER 143.5 | Top | 63-93 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show |
GU is coming off a 94-59 victory over Northern Arizona on Dec. 20, in which Chet Holmgren led all scorers with 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots. The Zags shot 55% from the floor and 45% from deep while forcing 20 turnovers from the Lumberjacks, who were led by Jalen Cone’s 19 points. Along with being the last tune-up game before WCC play, the Zags are expected to be fully rested ahead of Tuesday’s game. The November slate that featured three games in five days, including top-5 matchups against UCLA and Duke, was a test for this young roster. It’s safe to assume that fatigue could have played a role in the nine-point win over Tarleton State at home and a loss to Alabama in Seattle. |
12-27-21 |
Brown +10.5 v. Syracuse | Top | 62-93 |
Loss | -120 | 16 h 53 m | Show |
Defensively, the Orange will need to improve their zone that has been a primary factor in most, if not all, of their losses this season. Brown’s offense isn’t spectacular, but it could still find ways to score if the holes in an SU unit that’s 227th in 3-point defense and 252nd in 2-point defense emerge once again. Patching those areas will be a necessary factor for the Orange to avoid dropping their sixth nonconference game this season. |
12-21-21 |
Morehead State v. IUPU-Indianapolis +16 | Top | 80-52 |
Loss | -105 | 16 h 11 m | Show |
The Jaguars defensive is one of the best in the country at limiting offensive possessions. This is too big of a number to cover against a team that could win outright. |
12-18-21 |
Baylor v. Oregon OVER 134.5 | Top | 78-70 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
Oregon’s plan for this game should be relatively simple: pound the ball in the paint. N’Faly Dante is coming off perhaps the best game of his career on Wednesday against the Portland Pilots, dropping 20 points and nine rebounds on 9/11 shooting. Baylor’s guard play is excellent again, despite sending three players to the NBA, but they do not have any established rim protectors under the rim. Their tallest rotation player is the 6’10 Flo Thamba, who is averaging under five points and five rebounds in just 18 minutes per game. The Bears do play physical, and they won’t just allow Dante and freshman Franck Kepnang to establish position and go to work down low, but Oregon has the depth in the frontcourt to continually pound the ball and force Baylor to guard them in the post. |
12-17-21 |
South Alabama v. Tarleton St OVER 125 | Top | 52-65 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 4 m | Show |
The Jaguars are one of the better shooting teams in the country, making 47% of their shots, I think they'll have an easy time finding shots against the Texans who have allowed teams true shooting percentage to be around 55%. |
12-16-21 |
College of Charleston v. Stetson OVER 147 | Top | 59-67 |
Loss | -116 | 2 h 58 m | Show |
The Cougars have been cranking out over's this season and we're going right back to the well to see if they can improve to 10-3 to the over. The numbers would indicate that both teams should go over but I've seen this too many times where the bookmaker has an opinion and they're trying to bait you into taking the other side. |
12-15-21 |
New Mexico State v. Washington State OVER 136.5 | Top | 64-61 |
Loss | -104 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
New Mexico State has been playing well of late but their 26 turnovers against Loyola Marymount le to 32 points for the Lions. If they do that against the Cougars the outcome won't be so favorable. The Cougars will put up a better effort than they did against North Dakota State after fighting through injuries and sickness. |
12-14-21 |
Arkansas-Pine Bluff v. Texas -35 | Top | 31-63 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 60 m | Show |
No. 17 Texas will look to get back on the winning track and remain unbeaten at home when the Longhorns host hapless Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Tuesday in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns (6-2) return to the floor after a 64-60 loss on the road at then-No. 23 Seton Hall on Thursday that snapped Texas' five-game win streak. The Golden Lions are 0-9 on the road this season and have already dropped road games, in blowout fashion, to two teams from the Big 12 Conference -- Iowa State (83-64) and Baylor (99-54). Arkansas-Pine Bluff's 10 losses have come by an average of 23.3 points per game. Its only win this season was by five points over Arkansas Baptist College, an NAIA program. |
12-13-21 |
Rhode Island v. Wisc-Milwaukee OVER 128.5 | Top | 82-58 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
The Rhode Island Rams have been solid to begin this season as they are 7-3 to begin the regular season. They are being led by sophomore center Makhel Mitchell so far and that is going to help them progress throughout the regular season. They are coming off a 72-62 home win over the Sacred Heart Pioneers. The biggest problem that popped up was the fact they allowed the Pioneers to shoot 43.8 percent from the field throughout the game. The defense needs to step up more consistently as they are allowing 36.4 percent of shots to fall against them and are giving up 62.8 ppg, which is 52nd in the nation. Until I see progress on the defensive end, I will likely go over in many Rams games. |
12-11-21 |
Alabama A&M v. Samford -12.5 | Top | 50-52 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 25 m | Show |
Samford is ranked third in College Basketball in possessions per game, so you can bet that they'll have plenty of chance to extend their lead in the second half to give us a cover. Contain Garrett Hicks, we'll have an easy cover. |
12-09-21 |
Merrimack v. Gonzaga UNDER 136.5 | Top | 55-80 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
Though the Warriors record and offense don’t necessarily jump out at you, the Warriors do have a rather interesting defense when it comes to on-ball pressure and disrupting passing lanes. They rank ninth in the country in steal rate and rank 22nd in the country in steals per game, which is notable because of the slow-as-molasses pace they like to play (350th adjust tempo in KenPom). They'll do just enough to keep this game under the total. |
12-08-21 |
Dayton v. SMU OVER 136 | Top | 69-77 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 54 m | Show |
The Flyers have dominated the paint offensively, hitting 57.9% of their 2-point attempts, which ranks 15th in the nation. They’ve struggled with taking care of the basketball, as they rank 271st in turnover percentage. Dayton owns a well-balanced offense that has seven players averaging over 6.0 points per game this season. The group utilizes its depth and saw five players score in double figures in the upset victory over Kansas. |
12-07-21 |
North Carolina A&T v. East Carolina -10 | Top | 71-82 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 46 m | Show |
The Aggies are just 2-7-1 ATS against teams with a winning record and 1-6-2 against teams with a win percentage over .600. The Pirates are 5-2 ATS following a SU win. |
12-06-21 |
Alcorn State v. Houston -32.5 | Top | 45-77 |
Loss | -106 | 5 h 51 m | Show |
Even with all the new faces, the Houston Cougars had great expectations following the program's first Final Four appearance in 37 years. In truth, those expectations were unfair. The Cougars have performed exceptionally in the early stages of this season, with No. 15 Houston (7-1) producing a 111-44 home victory over Bryant last Friday that tied for the third-largest margin of victory in program history. The Cougars will host Alcorn State (1-6) on Monday and, in all likelihood, will record a third consecutive blowout triumph. |
12-04-21 |
Robert Morris v. Wisc-Milwaukee -3.5 | Top | 69-77 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
Neither team is that great to start the season but where the Colonials will have an edge is rebounding. Robert Morris has failed to cover one game this season, that trend continues this afternoon. |
12-03-21 |
VMI v. Portland -4.5 | Top | 90-82 |
Loss | -110 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
You know you're going to get an above-average temp game with the Pilots in addition to their true shooting percentage being a constant weapon. This match-up should be a shootout but I'll take the Pilots who are red hot at home. |
12-01-21 |
La Salle v. Temple -6.5 | Top | 57-73 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
We're on another team playing against a weak defense, which is what the Explorers bring to the table. La Salle will not force turnovers and are soft inside. This plays right into the hands of the Owls who are more of a dribble penetration team. Expect temple to live at the free-throw line tonight. |
11-30-21 |
Duke -3 v. Ohio State | Top | 66-71 |
Loss | -110 | 15 h 21 m | Show |
Duke has had some impressive wins thus far. The Blue Devils are now 7-0 and have taken down Kentucky and Gonzaga, which were ranked at No. 10 and No. 1, respectively, at the time of the games. The Blue Devils have been solid both defensively and offensively, beating their opponents by an average of 21 points, but there’s one caveat that concerns these successes: Duke has not played a true road game. This will be the final test before Duke can declare themselves legit title contenders. |
11-29-21 |
Lafayette -1 v. Columbia | Top | 73-50 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
Both of these teams are bad the Leopard's tempo is much faster than the pace Columbia wants to play at, giving us more possessions. Lion's perimeter defense is nonexistent. |
11-26-21 |
UT-Rio Grande Valley v. Illinois UNDER 148.5 | Top | 85-94 |
Loss | -110 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
The Rio Grande offensive efficiency is among the bottom in College Basketball. They own an ineffective effective FG% with 3-pt shooting not a strong part of the offense. They are going up against one of the best defenses in the country so it's hard to believe that the Vaqueros will do enough to push this game over the total. |
11-25-21 |
Belmont v. Drake UNDER 150.5 | Top | 74-69 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
These are two teams that will slow the pace down. Both teams rank in the bottom half of College Basketball in possessions per game. Even though Drake runs as an efficient of an offense as you'll see in the halfcourt, Belmont won't do enough to push this game over. |
11-22-21 |
Valparaiso v. Jacksonville State -6.5 | Top | 78-70 |
Loss | -110 | 15 h 51 m | Show |
Dating back to last season, Valpo is just 1-6 ATS against teams with a losing record and have failed to cover four straight overall. The Gamecocks have covered 6 of 7 overall and 5 of 6 against teams with a losing record. |
